| 975s | this is a monstrous number of attacks |
| 977s | still to get through yeah this |
| 980s | yeah the shore John you taking it down |
| 982s | at the first attempt |
| 986s | [Music] |
| 993s | greetings everyone and welcome to an |
| 995s | especially festive edition of Lobby |
| 998s | Legends here at Lobby Legends winter |
| 1001s | Veil where everything has been turned up |
| 1004s | twice we're doubling it all the prize |
| 1006s | money the hype of the tournament and uh |
| 1008s | thankfully for my sake the uh the |
| 1010s | knowledge of my co-caster here as no |
| 1013s | longer am I stuck with uh Lorinda or TJ |
| 1016s | I get the uh the vast wealth of |
| 1017s | knowledge that Pocky brings to the desk |
| 1020s | how you doing |
| 1021s | I'm doing great I'm so excited to be |
| 1023s | here you like you said the hype for this |
| 1025s | it's the last Lobby Legends of the year |
| 1028s | the anticipation has been building up |
| 1030s | and I'm just so ready to see there's so |
| 1033s | much exciting things going on in |
| 1034s | Battlegrounds the players are so good |
| 1037s | and I'm just so hyped to see how this |
| 1040s | tournament plays out |
| 1041s | right you are yeah the meta very much up |
| 1044s | in the air we're still in the quests |
| 1046s | meta game but things haven't been shaken |
| 1048s | up fairly recently with uh about a month |
| 1050s | ago a whole bunch of new quests added |
| 1052s | and very recently the new enhancer Quest |
| 1054s | and the new hero added as well which |
| 1056s | will be very exciting to see if we can |
| 1058s | catch a glimpse of that over today's |
| 1060s | action but speaking of today's action |
| 1062s | we're going to take a quick overview of |
| 1064s | how the tournament is going to work |
| 1066s | there are 16 players here in this |
| 1068s | tournament all of whom I think can be |
| 1070s | very proud of themselves just for having |
| 1072s | qualified to this stage to come on |
| 1074s | broadcast because it truly is a grueling |
| 1076s | process and we've chopped them up into |
| 1078s | two lobbies here where we are going to |
| 1080s | be playing three games of each of those |
| 1082s | lobbies A and B for a total of six games |
| 1084s | today and then the top four from each of |
| 1087s | those two lobbies will go on to Sunday |
| 1089s | leaving us with just one single Mega |
| 1091s | Lobby who will be playing in the check |
| 1094s | format which uh I've said it time and |
| 1096s | again as I've cast these Lobby Legends |
| 1098s | but I just think leads to such exciting |
| 1099s | final games on Sunday Pocky |
| 1102s | oh I've been completely taken by the |
| 1104s | check format every tournament the ending |
| 1107s | has been crazy it keeps you on the edge |
| 1108s | of your seat someone can always win like |
| 1110s | you're never out and so that keeps you |
| 1112s | just like so engaged throughout the |
| 1114s | whole thing |
| 1116s | that's right plays having to fight for |
| 1118s | those uh 20 points and then once they |
| 1120s | reach that 20-point threshold they have |
| 1122s | to win have to get that W nothing else |
| 1124s | will suffice if they want to win the |
| 1126s | tournament and while the uh the prize |
| 1128s | money is important especially as we said |
| 1130s | given that it's doubled for this final |
| 1131s | Lobby Legends of the year really I think |
| 1134s | all of our players want to have the |
| 1136s | glory of being crowned the champion of |
| 1139s | lovely Legends but if you want some |
| 1141s | glory for yourself you can of course |
| 1142s | fight alongside with uh Tavern buddy |
| 1146s | extension that we have here if you are |
| 1147s | watching on Twitch you can join in uh |
| 1150s | with a little game of your own you can |
| 1152s | try and predict some of the events that |
| 1153s | may uh come to pass over today's action |
| 1157s | starting with a pretty simple one in the |
| 1159s | fantasy team where in each of the two |
| 1161s | groups you're going to be choosing three |
| 1163s | players that you think are the most |
| 1165s | likely to succeed at the start of the |
| 1168s | day and then the better they do the more |
| 1171s | points you're going to be getting uh |
| 1172s | puzzle box is a little bit more |
| 1174s | complicated where we have a series of of |
| 1177s | events that may or may not occur and you |
| 1179s | have to guess whether they will happen |
| 1180s | or not which I don't know about you |
| 1182s | Pocky but there were some tough ones for |
| 1184s | us to pick our answers for today there |
| 1187s | were some hard ones but uh I'm sure I'm |
| 1189s | gonna come out Victorious so I can't say |
| 1191s | they were too hard |
| 1193s | all right why don't you take us through |
| 1194s | the rest of what we have here at the |
| 1195s | tavern buddy |
| 1196s | sure we've got the bandwagon option |
| 1199s | which uh this prediction after the first |
| 1202s | four turns are within the first four |
| 1203s | turns you had to guess the winner of the |
| 1205s | game so you got to look at those early |
| 1208s | game scenarios and determine you know if |
| 1210s | that hero power is going to be enough to |
| 1212s | overcome maybe a bad Quest or you think |
| 1214s | they have a really good setup and choose |
| 1216s | the winner of the game and then barov's |
| 1218s | blessing you get to choose the side that |
| 1221s | you think is going to win in a given |
| 1223s | combat and lorinda's pretty good at |
| 1226s | making it tough on us but again you know |
| 1229s | if you are good at the game if you |
| 1231s | understand the game you can usually |
| 1233s | choose who's gonna be Victorious and uh |
| 1236s | all these players that we're gonna be |
| 1237s | watching super good at that and so we're |
| 1239s | just gonna try and live up to their uh |
| 1242s | standards all right no need to rub it in |
| 1245s | my atrocan record I'm better off's |
| 1247s | blessing I'm sure this time uh I will |
| 1249s | get it right uh but yeah you're right |
| 1250s | they're very much either it's the |
| 1252s | easiest guess in the world or it's just |
| 1254s | impossible to tell and it basically |
| 1255s | comes down to one of those 50 50 styles |
| 1257s | of matchups but that would be cool to |
| 1258s | see uh who is doing best I believe we |
| 1261s | have a kind of leaderboard and if you |
| 1262s | are watching for |
| 1264s | the whole broadcast you of course have |
| 1266s | more opportunities to rack up those |
| 1268s | points and the most cool internet points |
| 1271s | to your friends won't you be a |
| 1274s | foolish guy around but either way though |
| 1277s | you can take a look at the points that |
| 1278s | our players here in lovey Legends are |
| 1280s | fighting for first place walks them away |
| 1282s | with seven points whereas eighth I mean |
| 1286s | we're walking away with zero and so for |
| 1289s | our players here this weekend given that |
| 1292s | the day one doesn't have the check |
| 1294s | format you just need to finish in the |
| 1296s | top four uh what do you think we're |
| 1298s | going to be seeing here mostly very |
| 1299s | risky strategies trying to get that |
| 1301s | first or just more solid third fourth |
| 1304s | fifth every game yeah so the big thing |
| 1306s | with this points distribution is it's a |
| 1308s | linear structure right there's no |
| 1309s | bonuses for top four no bonuses for a |
| 1311s | first that you see in some other |
| 1312s | tournaments because all of these players |
| 1314s | are the best of the best they're on even |
| 1316s | footing and because of that because |
| 1317s | there's no bonus points for any position |
| 1319s | generally what we've seen be successful |
| 1322s | in the past is players aiming for solid |
| 1324s | performances not necessarily going all |
| 1326s | out for that first taking it when it |
| 1328s | comes to them but going for a second or |
| 1330s | third in the few games that you have to |
| 1332s | show what you've got has been the most |
| 1334s | successful so far and so today I expect |
| 1337s | that's what we'll see |
| 1338s | okay I'm curious to see how that will |
| 1340s | Shape Up and especially with some of |
| 1342s | these slightly newer quests that we've |
| 1344s | seen creep into the Mets game how some |
| 1346s | of those can be a little bit more Tempo |
| 1347s | oriented perhaps and allow you to clutch |
| 1350s | out those second thirds and fourths as |
| 1352s | you talked about instead of first but |
| 1355s | aside from the points our players will |
| 1357s | of course all be aiming for that first |
| 1359s | place because it is not linear in terms |
| 1361s | of the the prize trucks that we have |
| 1362s | here players having a nice big jump up |
| 1364s | to First and of course yeah the pride |
| 1367s | that comes with being able to Crown |
| 1369s | yourself a Lobby Legends champion the |
| 1371s | last Lobby Legends champion of the year |
| 1373s | as well for that matter just to uh add a |
| 1376s | little bit extra spice to that as well |
| 1379s | whereas even for our players in 9th |
| 1381s | through 16th as we said uh it's a very |
| 1383s | impressive feat just to have made it |
| 1385s | through to this point so two and a half |
| 1386s | thousand dollars to be walking away with |
| 1388s | not bad for just a single day's play |
| 1391s | here at Lobby Legends uh but it's gonna |
| 1394s | be interesting to see how our different |
| 1396s | players perform how the different |
| 1397s | regions stack up again each other |
| 1399s | because we have seen recently a bit of a |
| 1401s | shift in the power structure and |
| 1403s | Battlegrounds I think it's fair to say |
| 1405s | absolutely I mean I have to say it you |
| 1407s | know as a representative of the America |
| 1409s | server we have no America's players in |
| 1413s | Lottery Legends this time we've got a |
| 1416s | lot of European Representatives a lot of |
| 1418s | Apec and of course the Chinese players |
| 1420s | all playing here and I'm excited to see |
| 1423s | how it goes you know the regions have |
| 1426s | these different metagames that they sort |
| 1427s | of develop and the players have to |
| 1430s | balance that and sometimes they're just |
| 1431s | on the fly in the tournament to what the |
| 1434s | tournament medal is going to be because |
| 1435s | that can be different than any regions |
| 1437s | meta |
| 1438s | yeah it'll be interesting to see which |
| 1440s | The Meta games work best what work on |
| 1442s | different days as well because again |
| 1444s | some uh regions might lean more into |
| 1447s | temper play which could help them on day |
| 1448s | one maybe struggle a little bit more |
| 1449s | when they need that win in the check |
| 1451s | format hopefully our players have the |
| 1453s | ability to adapt honor the fly no matter |
| 1456s | what I think we can take a look now at |
| 1459s | the puzzle box questions I believe for |
| 1462s | what we're going to be guessing uh over |
| 1463s | the course of the day oh no my mistake |
| 1465s | it will instead be a breakdown of the |
| 1467s | players in lobby a and we've got a real |
| 1471s | nice selection here I think Pocky uh |
| 1473s | with uh remote Victor uh in one of the |
| 1476s | players and just a good breakdown of a |
| 1479s | lot of the different styles of play and |
| 1481s | uh players who make it through to love |
| 1483s | your Legends absolutely I mean we have |
| 1485s | penguins son who's uh representing Japan |
| 1489s | and has been a you know performer in a |
| 1492s | few Lobby Legends now a familiar face |
| 1494s | Kirsten also from Japan uh kuraneko also |
| 1498s | in Japan's taxi from Taiwan Rogan |
| 1501s | representing France XD from Luxembourg |
| 1504s | Max savicki from Russia and Vigo from |
| 1507s | China Vigo breaking out the not cross on |
| 1510s | this is something I always look at the |
| 1512s | poses right and he's the only one with |
| 1515s | the not crossing the last Lobby Legends |
| 1517s | Lobby Legends eight |
| 1518s | all the players that didn't have a |
| 1520s | crossover pose made it through to day |
| 1521s | two do you think we're gonna see Vigo |
| 1523s | making it through Maybe |
| 1524s | I mean we'll have to see I'd be |
| 1526s | surprised if none of the other players |
| 1527s | from Lobby make it through that would be |
| 1529s | I think uh against the rules but uh |
| 1532s | we'll see if he can make it through I |
| 1534s | mean I wouldn't be surprised we have |
| 1535s | seen uh China do uh very well recently |
| 1538s | in these uh Lobby Legends |
| 1542s | yeah and we have our fantasy team groups |
| 1545s | here I did take Vigo in my fantasy team |
| 1548s | with the non-cross our post but he's |
| 1549s | also been a super consistent performer |
| 1551s | on the Chinese scene along with him I |
| 1554s | have penguins on who is just a fantastic |
| 1557s | player having watched him play quite a |
| 1559s | lot he's very very good and it looks |
| 1561s | like we both have sexy she actually a |
| 1563s | history and constructed and I've played |
| 1565s | him plenty on the Battlegrounds and he |
| 1567s | is very very good yeah I will be honest |
| 1570s | my uh my pick of shaxi was mainly just |
| 1573s | out of respect because he was for the |
| 1574s | longest time one of my favorite players |
| 1575s | to cast as he said during his reign in |
| 1578s | constructed and I'm sure that won't slow |
| 1580s | down at all as he was often the mad |
| 1582s | scientist of GM and I hope to see some |
| 1585s | of those more unconventional strategies |
| 1587s | coming through for him but then Max 7K I |
| 1589s | wanted to include a previous winner it's |
| 1592s | a highlight of that and it's the uh I |
| 1595s | don't know I just had to pick my boy uh |
| 1597s | you know I haven't seen many of these |
| 1598s | players haven't seen a lot of players |
| 1599s | IRL in a while but uh I did have a |
| 1602s | pleasure to meet |
| 1603s | that I think you will be doing very well |
| 1605s | in this tournament in uh Lobby a |
| 1609s | although as uh the difficulty of |
| 1612s | choosing those players demonstrates he |
| 1614s | will have a very uphill struggle but |
| 1617s | here we have our picks interesting I |
| 1620s | didn't actually know what you picked up |
| 1621s | until this point uh for the different |
| 1623s | puzzle books uh selections I'll start us |
| 1626s | off I suppose will all six games have a |
| 1629s | different winner I decided to go for yes |
| 1631s | I was thinking you know there's only six |
| 1633s | games it's divided up into two lobbies I |
| 1635s | think it would be a struggle to see |
| 1637s | anyone have a Repeat Performance |
| 1639s | yeah I mean obviously I went with no |
| 1641s | here and and I I just had to leave it up |
| 1644s | to look I mean sometimes you know a |
| 1646s | player is just feeling it they're having |
| 1647s | a good day and uh I think you know it's |
| 1649s | it's definitely not like the odds on |
| 1651s | favorite prediction but I'm thinking |
| 1654s | that we're gonna see a repeat someone's |
| 1655s | gonna be getting lucky today |
| 1658s | all right all six when is using a |
| 1659s | different hero no I mean that's mainly |
| 1661s | just because there's only about three |
| 1662s | Heroes that I can correctly play or ever |
| 1664s | get a win on uh so I'm gonna say uh |
| 1667s | someone has to get a repeat win uh |
| 1669s | because it seems to be a very slim pool |
| 1670s | for me you were obviously disagreeing uh |
| 1673s | but both going with uh yes will with a |
| 1675s | will a player win or the new enhanced |
| 1677s | hero or quest uh has that been looking |
| 1680s | powerful for you so far in testing very |
| 1683s | much so especially the quest able to use |
| 1686s | reborn on cards like Leroy or minted |
| 1689s | Queen and then Divine Shield also you |
| 1691s | know just super strong regardless of the |
| 1694s | lobby that you're playing in |
| 1697s | all right I'll rattle us through quickly |
| 1699s | the rest of these will a player win a |
| 1700s | game without reaching Tavern tier six |
| 1702s | that does happen fairly often so we're |
| 1703s | both in agreeance that we could see that |
| 1705s | over the course of today taking longer |
| 1708s | than 18 turns I mean it's a close one I |
| 1710s | think that's a good turn to choose |
| 1711s | personally I think we're going to be |
| 1713s | seeing some slightly quicker strategies |
| 1715s | uh with a little bit less uh poison |
| 1718s | Divine shieldage these days compared to |
| 1721s | a few weeks ago uh and then of course uh |
| 1724s | both having to pick different sides as |
| 1726s | to who will end up with more points out |
| 1728s | of XD or zorg I mean it was a tough |
| 1731s | choice absolutely but like I said uh I |
| 1735s | had to go with my boys org yeah I mean |
| 1737s | that one's gonna be tough though I'm |
| 1738s | sure they're both gonna be on me I |
| 1740s | didn't have uh XD in my fantasy too but |
| 1743s | I had to pick up here |
| 1745s | um it's gonna be hard I mean they're |
| 1747s | they're friends they're close friends so |
| 1749s | they're gonna have their own rivalry |
| 1750s | going to see who can do better they're |
| 1751s | in separate groups so they both have the |
| 1753s | opportunity to do really well and uh |
| 1755s | potentially meet in the finals tomorrow |
| 1756s | so we'll see if they can make that |
| 1758s | happen that's true yeah being in |
| 1760s | different groups it could happen but as |
| 1762s | we get the first game of the day ready |
| 1765s | Pocky anything in particular that you're |
| 1767s | hoping to see over today's action |
| 1769s | specific uh plays curves anything uh |
| 1773s | that you're looking forward to |
| 1775s | um not just how the players adapt I mean |
| 1777s | I am a huge fan of the APM comps and |
| 1780s | quick thinking and these players are all |
| 1781s | capable of it I know there's a few |
| 1783s | players especially in Group B that are |
| 1786s | known for being very very strong at that |
| 1789s | style of play so we'll see if we can get |
| 1791s | some high octane games then but as long |
| 1794s | as the gameplay is exciting I'm gonna be |
| 1796s | here for it I guess I'll be here for it |
| 1798s | even if they aren't but I'm sure we're |
| 1800s | all on the same page and uh hoping that |
| 1802s | we get some good games coming up |
| 1804s | and so I know that in the uh the first |
| 1807s | logo legends that I cast after quests |
| 1810s | came out it felt very much so that the |
| 1812s | uh the quest selection felt almost more |
| 1815s | important than the hero you got to |
| 1817s | choose uh do you think that's still |
| 1819s | going to be the case here as we get a |
| 1820s | look at the uh Our Heroes picking their |
| 1822s | oh sorry our players picking their |
| 1824s | Heroes first |
| 1825s | um I mean we've seen a lot of new quests |
| 1828s | introduced and it's totally |
| 1830s | revamped how we approach quests and |
| 1833s | we've seen a shift early on in the |
| 1834s | cosmeta was very Tempo oriented all the |
| 1836s | tempo quests were really favored in now |
| 1838s | it's sort of shifted away from that and |
| 1840s | there's kind of multiple ways these |
| 1841s | players can go about it and it's |
| 1843s | definitely a balance between depending |
| 1845s | on what hero you get and how easy it is |
| 1847s | to complete that Quest you know how much |
| 1849s | you lean into it as your direction |
| 1853s | all right taking a first look at things |
| 1856s | we've got a runner for cursum we're |
| 1860s | going uh before we actually consulted |
| 1862s | him as to how his name should be |
| 1863s | pronounced and he very graciously I |
| 1865s | believe to you through a translator said |
| 1867s | I don't know myself so we'll uh have to |
| 1870s | try and adapt |
| 1872s | absolutely yeah we've got cursive on the |
| 1874s | Iran we've got rogujin on the maiev |
| 1876s | uh penguin sun and Jane dismax 17 |
| 1880s | release she actually on the malagas XT |
| 1882s | we start picking up that hook Tusk Vigo |
| 1885s | on the Gale wing and that will leave |
| 1889s | uh |
| 1890s | peronica on the zephyrus there |
| 1896s | um any particular hero you know you said |
| 1898s | you had a few heroes are any of these |
| 1899s | Heroes your favorite to play |
| 1901s | I gotta say I'm gonna change this with a |
| 1903s | token start that is a really big deal |
| 1906s | penguin Sun |
| 1909s | deep in thought because there's so many |
| 1911s | options on what you can go for here you |
| 1914s | have a lot of good five drops available |
| 1916s | in this Lobby uh beasts Pirates |
| 1919s | Elementals murlocs that means Bran's a |
| 1922s | hit Mama Bear's a hit know me hogger so |
| 1926s | many amazing options |
| 1929s | indeed yeah it's looking really really |
| 1932s | strong for a five drop as you said uh |
| 1935s | personally I gotta say for this Lobby |
| 1936s | like uh in terms of the heroes that I'm |
| 1938s | a big fan of uh hook Tusk always a fan |
| 1941s | of that hero I just love being able to |
| 1943s | uh try and copy out those tokens |
| 1945s | especially when you're in a lobby with |
| 1947s | both Alley Cats and the seller mentals |
| 1949s | as well so much economy that you can get |
| 1951s | rolling of course in these early turns |
| 1954s | but I know with uh it being a zero over |
| 1957s | here you have to have a very very good |
| 1958s | reason to be going for it which I think |
| 1961s | XD will you know when he picked his hero |
| 1963s | he rubbed his hands together he looked |
| 1964s | very very happy uh to see hooked us |
| 1967s | offered |
| 1968s | yeah I know from ixy's play style he's |
| 1971s | very much into |
| 1973s | you know preferring to do what he thinks |
| 1976s | is strong right he likes leaning into |
| 1978s | what he thinks is good and and heroes |
| 1980s | that are in the right you know minion |
| 1983s | type lobbies he's a huge fan of the |
| 1985s | Milhouse hooked us can hear the hook |
| 1988s | toes super strong and that's why he's so |
| 1990s | excited |
| 1992s | gonna hold here for his quest coming up |
| 1994s | this turn as he faces Penguins on |
| 1999s | feels like our players almost have a |
| 2001s | gentleman's agreement that they're all |
| 2003s | going to do that so they know they're |
| 2004s | likely to be able to save a lot of |
| 2007s | Health on this turn too and they're |
| 2009s | they're good minions to save right |
| 2010s | especially with a Battle Cry as well |
| 2012s | available for the Alley Cats summoning |
| 2013s | minions as well there's a really good |
| 2015s | chance that you can get a head start on |
| 2017s | your quest completion this way yeah |
| 2019s | super premium if you do hit the right |
| 2021s | quest uh we will see him taking a slight |
| 2024s | bit of damage but he's not gonna be too |
| 2026s | worried about it like he's more |
| 2028s | concerned you see the hands rubbing he's |
| 2030s | more concerned about that Quest like you |
| 2031s | said you know and if he can get a good |
| 2033s | one here and we're gonna see |
| 2037s | it's gonna be a loser tied to combat's |
| 2039s | play beasts and have 40 friendly minis |
| 2041s | die for volatile Venom the other two |
| 2043s | sinful Medallion and hidden treasure |
| 2045s | Vault all quite strong I had to say he's |
| 2049s | probably going to lean towards Vault or |
| 2051s | volatile Venom |
| 2054s | volatile venom does have a little bit of |
| 2056s | synergy with the actual Quest right one |
| 2058s | thing that you look at when you're |
| 2059s | making these decisions is about how |
| 2061s | Venom |
| 2062s | uh you know considers having minions die |
| 2066s | you know having summons on board and so |
| 2069s | the quests actually leaning into that is |
| 2071s | uh |
| 2073s | pretty big |
| 2075s | yeah I think for me like having 40 |
| 2077s | friendly minions die feels pretty steep |
| 2079s | at this point whereas hidden treasure |
| 2081s | Vault especially with that hero power |
| 2083s | being able to immediately double down on |
| 2085s | the uh the number of beasts uh I think |
| 2088s | he's got a really good chance of |
| 2089s | completing that nice and quickly |
| 2093s | yeah absolutely we see a lot of players |
| 2096s | with tokens here |
| 2100s | you see grabbing |
| 2104s | the demon looks like he is going to grab |
| 2108s | these Pirates |
| 2109s | just to play A Little Bit Stronger have |
| 2112s | more Minions on board |
| 2116s | so what do we think as well with we saw |
| 2119s | karaneko on zephyrus going for Tavern |
| 2122s | tier three on three uh is that a common |
| 2125s | occurrence or a wise strategy to be |
| 2127s | going for with zephyrus in particular |
| 2129s | because I know that kind of fell out of |
| 2131s | fashion when quests entered the metagame |
| 2133s | yeah it really depends zephyrus is one |
| 2136s | of those Heroes that's super flexible uh |
| 2139s | there's so many options sometimes you |
| 2141s | take an early triple sometimes you can |
| 2143s | take a later one if you're trying to go |
| 2145s | for a high roll and I'm not as familiar |
| 2148s | with chronica's personal preference in |
| 2150s | terms of play Style and what he's going |
| 2151s | to want to lean into on it but we did |
| 2153s | see the three on three and so uh you |
| 2156s | know that can be a factor of not hitting |
| 2158s | good shops you know not valuing the |
| 2160s | Minions that you see and saying okay I'm |
| 2162s | just gonna make the most of the |
| 2164s | resources I have and go three on three |
| 2167s | but oh my goodness I mean look at these |
| 2171s | shops for penguin Suns |
| 2173s | oh my God this is so illegal so is this |
| 2176s | just a case of saving them all up for |
| 2178s | Tavern tier five or six Minions that you |
| 2181s | get |
| 2182s | yeah I mean I I'm almost positive that |
| 2185s | he'll be going for five drops here |
| 2187s | there's so many but the big thing is |
| 2190s | that there's also econ in the shop you |
| 2192s | know Tad can be really good if you hit |
| 2193s | Brandon want to lean into murlocs |
| 2195s | obviously we see murlocs being very |
| 2197s | strong when mechs are out uh but there's |
| 2200s | also uh |
| 2202s | Gambler there if you hit a hogger or you |
| 2205s | just want to spend some money and being |
| 2207s | able to swap into those units uh you |
| 2210s | know makes it super super premium as |
| 2213s | he's gonna be looking to hit those |
| 2215s | triples next turn |
| 2217s | I think it's the kind of game where if |
| 2218s | Naomi was offered you'd be going for |
| 2220s | that now or are we already getting a |
| 2222s | little bit too late for that |
| 2225s | yeah that's a really interesting one |
| 2226s | know me obviously a fan favorite I'm |
| 2229s | curious to see how these players are |
| 2231s | going to Value it it's a Content |
| 2234s | personally I sort of noticed the stats |
| 2237s | kind of say that it's better than you'd |
| 2239s | expect right people talk about mechs and |
| 2241s | beasts and element uh sorry in murlocs |
| 2244s | all the time but Elementals have a |
| 2246s | really good win rate when you get the |
| 2248s | setup going and if you get those early |
| 2249s | Nomi's especially on a hero like |
| 2250s | jaundice that can make you know extra |
| 2252s | use out of being able to swap those |
| 2253s | Elementals back into the shop and kind |
| 2255s | of double up on that buff |
| 2258s | uh generally you see the access to the |
| 2261s | utility of cards like crackling Cyclone |
| 2264s | Wildfire Elemental are able to beat out |
| 2267s | murlocs and you have enough stats that |
| 2270s | you can beat most comps except for maybe |
| 2272s | uh a pirate comp that's gone infinite |
| 2276s | or we shall have to see Penguins hand |
| 2278s | he's going to be hitting that pop-up on |
| 2280s | this very turn one would have to imagine |
| 2282s | and we see the level in the immediate |
| 2285s | triple |
| 2287s | let's find a Tavern Tempest here not the |
| 2289s | best but not the worst if you do you |
| 2292s | know we do see two more triples in store |
| 2294s | that's true but never consideration for |
| 2297s | the blue sheller given that he lost the |
| 2299s | previous combat just for more eco |
| 2302s | uh I think the tavern Tempest is a |
| 2305s | pretty clear pick here just because |
| 2306s | again he is more focused on finding |
| 2308s | direction and so these five drops and |
| 2312s | opening yourself up to the possibility |
| 2313s | of |
| 2315s | getting something really strong and the |
| 2317s | enhance-o-matic quests available it's |
| 2319s | like oh yeah here we see the little rig |
| 2321s | or the crocolisk as an option so uh |
| 2324s | taking the Croco is Just a Little Bit |
| 2325s | Stronger not having Minions on board |
| 2327s | that he wants to buff |
| 2330s | quite yet and then finds a Brandon baby |
| 2332s | crush and it's gonna be the brand |
| 2335s | and again so this is why that Tavern |
| 2336s | Tempest feels a little bit better oh my |
| 2338s | goodness now that we've found something |
| 2340s | that has a little bit of synergy with it |
| 2342s | it looks very very strong yeah very |
| 2345s | happy to admit that this was quite |
| 2346s | clearly the correct play in this |
| 2348s | instance look at the amount of value |
| 2350s | that's going to be generated there uh |
| 2351s | first proper look at Iran again here |
| 2354s | with uh |
| 2357s | yeah who's completed the another hidden |
| 2359s | Body Quest right and has a discover for |
| 2361s | a four drop taking the Elise so maybe |
| 2364s | looking next turn to utilize that free |
| 2366s | roll from that refreshing anomaly and |
| 2368s | pick up and triple into a five drop |
| 2371s | again looking for direction the five |
| 2372s | drops in this Lobby super strong a lot |
| 2375s | of Minion types with just premium five |
| 2378s | drop Direction |
| 2379s | we'll take maybe a small loss here |
| 2382s | depending on the hits |
| 2384s | but not gonna be too worried sitting at |
| 2387s | 36 health and lots of discoveries coming |
| 2390s | for Kirsten |
| 2391s | yeah exactly and with it only being play |
| 2394s | three Battle Cry minions I believe in |
| 2396s | order to complete another hidden body |
| 2398s | that's not too difficult uh to be able |
| 2400s | to do if the right shops are being |
| 2401s | offered again murlocs in the the pool uh |
| 2404s | in order to be able to double down on |
| 2405s | that very quickly and getting up to |
| 2407s | Tavern tier five and then discovering |
| 2409s | those instead of having to Triple into |
| 2411s | them is a very strong way to find that |
| 2414s | direction oh and Rogan is actually gonna |
| 2417s | have the option to go for a six year |
| 2418s | very clean this is like the old school |
| 2420s | may have six drop on turn seven getting |
| 2424s | a lot of tempo on the board along the |
| 2426s | way and gets interesting choices not the |
| 2430s | direction but Genie gonna be a lot of |
| 2431s | econ has that sentimental in hand as |
| 2433s | well gar can be very strong but relaxer |
| 2436s | and always a disincentive against |
| 2438s | Lieutenant Garden in mama always an |
| 2440s | interesting Tempo pick but again not |
| 2442s | really as directional |
| 2447s | and we see him kind of lost and thought |
| 2450s | of the choice it isn't an Easy Choice uh |
| 2452s | I'm sure he is probably considering |
| 2454s | between the it Mama and the gentle Genie |
| 2457s | um right and I would guess that's going |
| 2459s | to be the genie indeed that is what we |
| 2460s | see picked up here uh just because it |
| 2462s | does have a little bit more upside and |
| 2464s | it is so early and that picky eater does |
| 2467s | have a lot of steps that should help |
| 2469s | carry him through this early stage Max |
| 2471s | seven kilo speaking of early stats has |
| 2473s | double overseer with a ball on the board |
| 2478s | a potential huge amount of stats but I I |
| 2480s | just want to get your opinion at this |
| 2481s | point because we've talked at the start |
| 2482s | of the day about how players probably |
| 2484s | will prioritize those kind of third |
| 2486s | fourth maybe second place spots rather |
| 2489s | than going for a win so like how |
| 2491s | important is Direction quote unquote to |
| 2493s | have at this point in the game as |
| 2495s | opposed to just picking strong Tempo |
| 2497s | minions like imp mama is that gonna be |
| 2500s | good enough at this High skill level to |
| 2502s | get you through to a third or fourth |
| 2504s | yeah and that's a great question because |
| 2505s | at this High skill level the players are |
| 2508s | very very good at choosing Tempo into |
| 2511s | Direction they're the best in the world |
| 2514s | at doing both I know that sounds like a |
| 2517s | cop-out answer but they are really |
| 2519s | really good at it and we see that |
| 2521s | picking up high Tempo pairs like |
| 2523s | overseer and then utilizing the triples |
| 2526s | to give you the direction |
| 2527s | they're |
| 2529s | pretty amazing at maximizing and we see |
| 2533s | like in this case XD is using what looks |
| 2538s | like you know not a great board but |
| 2540s | playing into that Quest right it gives |
| 2544s | him the tempo and is also his Direction |
| 2546s | like it's kind of a two-in-one for him |
| 2549s | so |
| 2549s | uh that is what these player skills are |
| 2553s | and yeah at this point it's just them |
| 2556s | capitalizing on that situation |
| 2559s | yeah it's absolutely huge and you've got |
| 2561s | some nice Synergy with the volatile |
| 2563s | Venom I believe he had a a rat alongside |
| 2568s | there as well or basically some death |
| 2569s | rattles in order to synergize alongside |
| 2571s | that because he needs this now at that |
| 2573s | really awkward 15 Health total uh single |
| 2576s | loss could potentially see XD out of the |
| 2578s | running and yet still he's upgrading to |
| 2581s | Taven tier five on this turn boy that is |
| 2584s | Brave |
| 2585s | yeah and we see him also hitting a |
| 2587s | triple there so making a lot of value |
| 2590s | like I said of saying okay now I've got |
| 2592s | my direction which is death rattles and |
| 2594s | summons with volatile Venom and then uh |
| 2597s | trying to find that upside with that |
| 2599s | triple meanwhile oh it does hit actually |
| 2602s | he hidden Eliza so he has possibly the |
| 2606s | best setup and here's the big thing is |
| 2609s | if he can get a couple other players |
| 2610s | under the damage cap he might be able to |
| 2612s | Tempo them out |
| 2614s | with the the combo of Eliza scallywig |
| 2617s | and Baron and then everything that gets |
| 2619s | summoned gets that plus seven seven buff |
| 2622s | from ball tall Venom we |
| 2626s | you know me here being found for curse |
| 2629s | and once again Battle Cry minions is the |
| 2631s | name of the game to get this Quest |
| 2633s | completed over and over again but |
| 2636s | really great options offered uh after |
| 2639s | the fact there unfortunately |
| 2641s | yeah and did use that at least like I |
| 2643s | said to go for a five drop find the |
| 2646s | direction has another hidden body to |
| 2648s | grab |
| 2650s | a four drop picked up a Peggy and a |
| 2652s | recycling wreath which does synergize |
| 2655s | well with the Nomi in that setup but |
| 2657s | gonna be matched up into actually who we |
| 2660s | know is extraordinary strong luckily for |
| 2663s | Kirsten the big Saving Grace is that |
| 2665s | there had 16 Health thing you will not |
| 2667s | be able to take a lethal this turn |
| 2671s | foreign |
| 2677s | yeah and it just doesn't even look fair |
| 2679s | I mean this is a turn eight board |
| 2681s | imagine trying to fight into this and |
| 2683s | again it's just on |
| 2686s | XT recognizing hey this Quest and this |
| 2689s | Quest reward sinner drives so well I |
| 2692s | have hook tusk's hero power to be able |
| 2694s | to discover those death rattle minions |
| 2696s | like scallywag like sewer rat that I |
| 2698s | need to make a really strong board that |
| 2701s | that procs the quest really fast and he |
| 2703s | did get it fast and uh yeah we see even |
| 2706s | if 15 healthy is going to be very |
| 2708s | successful meanwhile we see penguin Sun |
| 2711s | who was really leaning into the beef |
| 2713s | stuff now has swapped reborn a few times |
| 2716s | and has reborn on his entire Board of |
| 2718s | five drop beasts right it's a mama bear |
| 2720s | and a reanimating Rattler in the shop |
| 2724s | and I'm curious |
| 2726s | yeah how he goes about this and how do |
| 2728s | we see this going for for Penguin Sound |
| 2730s | because his immediate game plan is you |
| 2732s | know just keep upgrading as much as |
| 2734s | possible get some stats is this a Lobby |
| 2736s | winning |
| 2737s | kind of board where you have bran and |
| 2739s | some Beast synergies uh or do you think |
| 2741s | he's gonna get slowly outclassed as the |
| 2743s | game progresses |
| 2745s | I mean the big thing here is you know |
| 2747s | like that puzzle box question he has the |
| 2750s | enhancements available and so while it |
| 2753s | doesn't look like what would normally be |
| 2756s | a game-winning board because he's jandus |
| 2759s | with an extraordinarily versatile hero |
| 2762s | power and the ability to have things |
| 2764s | like Divine Shield win Theory Cleaves |
| 2767s | and lots of this on those units it could |
| 2770s | still be |
| 2773s | uh if I go with pretty limited Direction |
| 2775s | he has managed to kind of Cobble |
| 2778s | together uh the uh Baron and the |
| 2782s | trickster and the parrot in order to get |
| 2784s | some uh death rattle Synergy here but |
| 2786s | it's really just scrambling for any kind |
| 2788s | of survival at all because he is in big |
| 2791s | trouble now down at 10 Health up against |
| 2793s | XD once again who I mean you called it |
| 2796s | he might just be tempering people out |
| 2798s | the game right now has he said khadgar |
| 2800s | as well yeah like I said he hit like the |
| 2804s | perfect combination with that triple in |
| 2805s | the six and it all just sort of lined up |
| 2808s | perfectly for him and the crazy part is |
| 2811s | this comp is so good because one of the |
| 2813s | ways to counter It Is by playing smaller |
| 2815s | units that prevent your units from dying |
| 2817s | you can see does it have that sort of |
| 2819s | problem because uh volatile Venom |
| 2822s | ensures those Sky Pirates all die the |
| 2825s | big thing here is it looks like Vigo |
| 2827s | might be able to dodge lethal at 10 |
| 2830s | Health it actually takes the win against |
| 2833s | XD just barely with that poison War |
| 2836s | leader doing seven so impressive we only |
| 2840s | have one going out curse him on the |
| 2841s | Arana wasn't able to get it going on the |
| 2843s | Nomi |
| 2844s | yeah it was a very very greedy strategy |
| 2846s | especially as a lot of these players |
| 2848s | have just been going for super high |
| 2849s | Tempo game plans uh we're not seeing |
| 2852s | players you know greeting out there |
| 2853s | Naomi's trying to go infinite with |
| 2854s | pirates very slowly it's been exactly |
| 2857s | what you said right it's players playing |
| 2859s | for Tempo but now starting to lean into |
| 2862s | some direction as uh roganjin here I |
| 2865s | mean his direction is pretty simply just |
| 2868s | what happens when you don't hit an |
| 2869s | obviously game-winning type of board is |
| 2872s | just fine Leroy's unmounted yeah and he |
| 2875s | does have a setup looking to add a ball |
| 2878s | to the mix and |
| 2880s | actually |
| 2882s | okay yeah we'll we'll pass The Jug I am |
| 2885s | a little surprised but uh it is a lot of |
| 2888s | stats on his board but the big thing is |
| 2890s | that these players really |
| 2892s | evaluate how much value these units have |
| 2895s | so one of the things that separates you |
| 2898s | know sort of the high MMR but not like |
| 2900s | Lobby Legends caliber is just perfect |
| 2903s | understanding of what is worthwhile and |
| 2907s | knowing that the investment into these |
| 2910s | three |
| 2911s | non-uh typed units these neutral are not |
| 2914s | these neutral minions uh you know isn't |
| 2917s | going to be worth it in the long run |
| 2918s | right |
| 2923s | well and then this coiler here so just |
| 2926s | trying to lethal the ego on the Gale |
| 2929s | wing |
| 2931s | playing as strong as possible knowing he |
| 2932s | doesn't have super strong scaling |
| 2935s | Direction and he's kind of at a peak in |
| 2937s | terms of his strength without finding |
| 2940s | you know maybe a poison for this ball of |
| 2943s | minions uh reborn for this coiler but at |
| 2945s | the end of the day he's not gonna have |
| 2946s | that same stat scaling |
| 2949s | that's right yeah some of these other |
| 2950s | players have the efficacy of Leroy kind |
| 2953s | of needs to be called into the question |
| 2955s | in this Lobby because we've seen players |
| 2957s | with uh what reborn beasts uh we have XD |
| 2960s | obviously on the death rattle Synergy uh |
| 2963s | with all the Pirates as well so Leroy I |
| 2965s | think while it's doing the job at the |
| 2967s | moment knocking out uh Vigo here down in |
| 2970s | seventh place I think for rogue Gene |
| 2973s | this would be you know at best a third |
| 2976s | place which he's hoping for |
| 2977s | yeah it's it's part of that rugby for |
| 2980s | scissors and we actually see it oh my |
| 2982s | God the perfect setup not looking so |
| 2985s | perfect taking a lethal from chronico on |
| 2988s | the surface |
| 2990s | so I wasn't able to get that full setup |
| 2993s | and we actually do see a few more |
| 2994s | players going down now as Vigo did get |
| 2997s | lethal by rogo Jean and HC goes out |
| 3000s | really early on what looks like a |
| 3001s | fantastic setup |
| 3004s | and here it is power of the enhancements |
| 3008s | the reborn Leroy is so strong and now |
| 3011s | this is sort of where you're like oh |
| 3013s | well yeah maybe this can be a first |
| 3015s | place work because that is very strong |
| 3017s | oh and we have our Barrow's blessing |
| 3019s | between shakxi and Max 7 key |
| 3022s | yeah sexy and Maxie and I gotta say here |
| 3026s | looking great for uh for a boy sexy I |
| 3031s | don't think oh see I'm gonna go the |
| 3033s | other way I'm gonna go ahead and say |
| 3036s | that shax is gonna take this one uh the |
| 3039s | utility of that wildfire and crackling |
| 3041s | Cyclone to me I think I'll be enough to |
| 3044s | get through the steps but double fell |
| 3046s | back in a golden overseer along with |
| 3048s | another one aboard that is a lot of |
| 3050s | stats that's gonna be uh coming on to |
| 3052s | Max 70s Ford |
| 3054s | hold it |
| 3056s | it's sex is gonna go for the Triple here |
| 3059s | it's oh my goodness double rag okay yeah |
| 3062s | come on that's gotta do it |
| 3070s | I'm just gonna shamelessly jump on board |
| 3072s | with you |
| 3079s | I mean this is what you called out the |
| 3081s | the power of crackling Cyclones and the |
| 3085s | Wildfire Elementals as well not |
| 3087s | necessarily against |
| 3088s | a lot of poisons which we haven't seen |
| 3090s | leaned into all too much this lobby but |
| 3093s | even just in stat battles uh it can be |
| 3095s | very interesting to see |
| 3097s | maybe it's really close the break points |
| 3100s | are gonna be what determines it and the |
| 3102s | Cyclone gets so much value |
| 3104s | so much value and that's exactly why |
| 3107s | Elementals are maybe a little underrated |
| 3109s | but sexy rating them perfectly as he |
| 3112s | lethals |
| 3114s | Max seven key the former body Legends |
| 3117s | champion |
| 3124s | foreign |
| 3151s | that should have been the fight |
| 3152s | prediction oh my I can't |
| 3156s | so now we've moved into top three |
| 3157s | situation and I mean |
| 3160s | I told you penguin song was set up for |
| 3162s | success |
| 3163s | all right puzzle box might |
| 3165s | our prediction might come early as we |
| 3168s | both said that there could be a win with |
| 3171s | the quest and |
| 3173s | yeah penguins line showing how it's done |
| 3175s | what an insane |
| 3178s | insane setup yeah very impressive maybe |
| 3181s | we can take a quick whip around the |
| 3182s | three players left in uh to see |
| 3186s | what the comps we have going for here |
| 3189s | pretty straight up and down Elementals |
| 3191s | here for Shack see obviously not in the |
| 3192s | form of Nomi |
| 3194s | um as you might usually expect but just |
| 3196s | looking really strong here uh with the |
| 3199s | Mage Derma as well to keep those stats |
| 3201s | on the Wildfire going higher and higher |
| 3202s | and higher and yet I mean I said he'd be |
| 3206s | lucky to get a third but he's done it |
| 3208s | these very high Tempo strategies have |
| 3211s | worked out and specifically against |
| 3213s | shaksi more so than against penguin San |
| 3216s | he kind of got a shot of coming in |
| 3218s | second uh but it does look like he is |
| 3221s | going to be going up against Penguin |
| 3222s | Sound first who I have to say it feels |
| 3224s | like he's going to struggle to beat |
| 3227s | yeah penguin sun has a really strong |
| 3229s | board against this comp Burger Gene not |
| 3231s | having a ton of stats on his units uh we |
| 3235s | did see you know sort of that not |
| 3237s | investing too much into units that |
| 3239s | weren't going to be relevant later on |
| 3240s | but if he's able to dodge a lethal which |
| 3243s | seems impossible as we just saw zephyrus |
| 3246s | take Lilo from 32. |
| 3249s | the thermometer's haunted I don't know |
| 3251s | if that'll be enough but again it's just |
| 3254s | a question on how much damage Roga Gene |
| 3258s | will take here oh yeah the good old |
| 3260s | Leroy Valley trade that always feels |
| 3262s | good |
| 3264s | open be a Difference Maker |
| 3270s | oh this has to be but it doesn't yeah |
| 3273s | it's not looking good the baby crush |
| 3276s | doesn't get summoned |
| 3279s | boiler doesn't die oh it's so close it |
| 3282s | does the hit |
| 3284s | oh there's good summons too |
| 3287s | yeah |
| 3289s | yeah so unfortunately |
| 3294s | oh damage on board oh |
| 3306s | amazing so that was that was the case |
| 3310s | and so |
| 3311s | now with the matchups we have shakshi |
| 3313s | going up against Burger Gene and like |
| 3315s | you said Roger James board is much |
| 3318s | better suited for dealing with taxis boy |
| 3319s | who now just picks up another recycling |
| 3322s | wraith but had sold it previously so it |
| 3324s | doesn't have the same rules available to |
| 3326s | look for those sort of utility minions |
| 3328s | more crackling Cyclones more recycling |
| 3331s | rates to be able to get through what we |
| 3332s | know are two levers on the board along |
| 3334s | with a manted queen |
| 3336s | yeah I want to say for Rogan here feels |
| 3339s | like |
| 3343s | feels like this I think two Leroy's and |
| 3345s | uh a manted queen is probably not quite |
| 3349s | enough I think I saw on a side monitor |
| 3352s | as well that he actually did hit the uh |
| 3355s | Primal fin but was unable to find the |
| 3358s | poison afterwards instead settling for |
| 3360s | the cold lights here |
| 3362s | um and so again uh no poison no selfless |
| 3365s | Heroes to go with this Baron rivendare |
| 3367s | as well is about as strong as he was uh |
| 3370s | last turn find a reborn for that coiler |
| 3373s | and that's something there aren't any |
| 3375s | mechs in the game which makes it |
| 3377s | slightly better we're gonna yeah we see |
| 3379s | the balls getting sold uh we'll start |
| 3381s | through this call later to grab that |
| 3383s | reborn as well |
| 3384s | um just giving him the best ads of |
| 3386s | potentially scamming and fight here I'm |
| 3389s | gonna use the Rattler as a little bit of |
| 3391s | a cleave protection |
| 3394s | and I like his positioning the cleave is |
| 3399s | going to get value regardless so oh but |
| 3402s | the right man also taunts middle okay |
| 3405s | the baron Baron going down is is okay |
| 3410s | the cycle goes down |
| 3412s | okay I mean that's it right I mean it |
| 3415s | has to be yeah oh wait there's the coil |
| 3418s | is coming oh this is so clutch okay it's |
| 3422s | technically winnable |
| 3430s | the reborn did matter and so Rogan she |
| 3434s | takes a second to get sexy oh my |
| 3437s | goodness these fights are insane the |
| 3439s | coilers are giving the excitement that I |
| 3442s | asked for from the start |
| 3445s | at work Gene with some absolutely |
| 3448s | disgusting roles over the last couple |
| 3450s | turns like this should not have happened |
| 3452s | at all but fair play to him uh and the |
| 3455s | Penguin Sun's paint up three |
| 3457s | enhancements has a reborn wind cherry |
| 3460s | and taunt to failover for this Manta |
| 3462s | Queen is probably gonna come in here |
| 3464s | what do you ditch the mama bear |
| 3467s | yeah likely the mama bear the baby Crush |
| 3470s | not a ton of value at this point either |
| 3472s | just because there's so many summons on |
| 3474s | board that it's oftenham's not gonna get |
| 3477s | that additional summon and there's also |
| 3479s | another reborn Leroy available |
| 3483s | yeah exactly I feel like you have to |
| 3485s | make way for that right |
| 3487s | so we might see both going |
| 3490s | at this point |
| 3494s | yeah it looks like that will be the case |
| 3496s | picking up this tunnel blaster |
| 3499s | and probably yes I was gonna say I don't |
| 3502s | expect him to play it I would expect him |
| 3504s | to hold it |
| 3506s | yeah great just see what your opponent |
| 3508s | has maybe if they've suddenly hit a |
| 3509s | bunch of divine Shields you make that |
| 3511s | work |
| 3512s | yeah and he's got so much |
| 3515s | Health to work with at 31. |
| 3518s | we saw how good his start was the token |
| 3521s | at the beginning hitting the enhancing |
| 3523s | Quest |
| 3524s | and uh actually not putting wind fury on |
| 3528s | the minted Queen |
| 3529s | oh does it at the last second I think |
| 3532s | what he was considering is whether or |
| 3534s | not he wanted to increase the odds of it |
| 3536s | getting taunt because it could you know |
| 3539s | end up playing around that reborn coiler |
| 3542s | and not getting as much value but |
| 3543s | luckily it doesn't get done anyways oh |
| 3547s | man these reborn leroys are so broken |
| 3551s | just an insanely strong taking out the |
| 3553s | Divine Shields and now there's just the |
| 3555s | reborn equivalent but penguin sun has |
| 3557s | too many of his own people even ever |
| 3561s | ever worry about this and uh so it is |
| 3564s | the first so you were asking is this |
| 3567s | enough and opinion Sun shows exactly how |
| 3570s | to transition he kept that uh Wildfire |
| 3574s | Elemental the whole time utilizing that |
| 3577s | is his main source of scaling with his |
| 3579s | hero power and then just leaning into |
| 3582s | that quest for the reborn the Divine |
| 3584s | Shields that he needed |
| 3586s | yeah I think that was just such a |
| 3588s | beautiful read of the speed of that game |
| 3590s | there uh from penguin sand because he |
| 3592s | was able to uh as we saw that go for a |
| 3595s | really nice fast tempo start there with |
| 3597s | all those beasts and then he realized |
| 3599s | that you know he didn't need to start |
| 3600s | scaling up too heavily with those beasts |
| 3602s | he just needed to get make use of that |
| 3604s | hero power and just lean more into the |
| 3606s | the Leroy's the poisonous as well and |
| 3608s | that would be more than enough to see |
| 3610s | him a win as there were no mechs and no |
| 3611s | repeated Divine Shields no bunch of |
| 3613s | death rattles to be concerned about so |
| 3615s | just making sure you hit those over and |
| 3617s | over again was uh more than good enough |
| 3619s | and uh congrats to penguin sand but |
| 3622s | congrats to you as well as with the |
| 3624s | first pick of the day with your |
| 3626s | bandwagon you smashed it |
| 3629s | yeah like I said the power of uh tokens |
| 3631s | they're Janus is pretty hard to deny but |
| 3634s | penguin Sun had to execute just sort of |
| 3637s | read the outcome of the lobby from the |
| 3639s | start knowing exactly what to go for |
| 3641s | like I said knowing exactly what to |
| 3643s | invest in and like you said he did it |
| 3645s | perfectly got a little lucky here taking |
| 3647s | a current acre from oh yeah |
| 3651s | I love the |
| 3654s | obviously crazy I'm |
| 3656s | this was a crazy way to start our first |
| 3659s | game of Lobby Legends absolutely yeah I |
| 3662s | mean especially for rogue sheet who's |
| 3663s | bored |
| 3664s | really didn't change after like turn |
| 3667s | eight I think or even like turned seven |
| 3669s | it felt like earlier on where he hit the |
| 3671s | leroys then he hit the mountains and |
| 3673s | kind of just rode that all the way |
| 3674s | through its way very lucky second place |
| 3676s | I will say I think my prediction of |
| 3677s | third earlier on was most of the time uh |
| 3680s | probably a little bit more where he |
| 3682s | should have been headed uh but |
| 3684s | congratulations to him of course as we |
| 3686s | can now take a look at the leaderboard |
| 3689s | my pick for the bandwagon looking |
| 3691s | decidedly less Rosy than yours with XD |
| 3694s | down at one and a half points uh after |
| 3697s | the start to this day but cursive is |
| 3700s | really in the danger zone right now with |
| 3702s | no points at all after game one |
| 3705s | yeah and that's a really tough spot it |
| 3707s | is possible again with the linear |
| 3708s | scoring structure it does make it easier |
| 3711s | to come back uh in some of these |
| 3713s | scenarios but yeah I'm really surprised |
| 3716s | I mean we saw xd's volatile Venom board |
| 3718s | it looked so good and one of the big |
| 3723s | components of these sandings is how |
| 3725s | these players deal and keep mental |
| 3727s | composure and sort of those unfortunate |
| 3729s | circumstances right you know he was |
| 3731s | feeling good he felt like in a really |
| 3732s | good spot but uh just these really |
| 3735s | unlucky fights and just didn't quite |
| 3737s | have enough and ends up with only a |
| 3739s | point and a half we'll see him trying to |
| 3741s | come back and make it into that top four |
| 3743s | here |
| 3744s | worth pointing out as well that we do |
| 3746s | have one of our puzzle box questions has |
| 3749s | already been satisfied the criteria as |
| 3752s | the the new enhancer hero and Quest be |
| 3755s | it the uh enhancermatic or the quest as |
| 3758s | we saw there uh has taken down a Lobby |
| 3760s | game one the power of that Quest just |
| 3763s | looking absolutely undeniable uh with |
| 3767s | effectively the entire board or was it |
| 3769s | literally the entire board having a |
| 3771s | reborn at the end of that game uh so uh |
| 3774s | congratulations to us good job we uh I |
| 3777s | imagine we killed it yeah I mean you in |
| 3780s | particular you're literally batting a |
| 3781s | hundred right now if that's a term I |
| 3784s | don't don't know baseball at all but |
| 3786s | anyway uh we're gonna go to a uh a short |
| 3788s | break right now when we come back game |
| 3790s | two of Lobby Legends |
| 3793s | can't wait |

| 3905s | thank you |

| 3955s | thank you |

| 3959s | foreign |
| 3961s | [Music] |
| 3995s | welcome back to Lobby Legends where |
| 3998s | during the break I was corrected Pocky |
| 4001s | is in fact batting a thousand not a |
| 4003s | hundred I'm sorry for insulting you I |
| 4005s | still don't know what that actually |
| 4006s | means but whatever it is good job doing |
| 4009s | it |
| 4010s | yeah you know our numbers here in |
| 4012s | America it's a little weird but we may |
| 4013s | do you know we're all right and uh I'm |
| 4016s | hoping to keep up the pace the the |
| 4018s | predictions so far have been pretty good |
| 4020s | like you said I'm feeling okay about |
| 4022s | them but the biggest prediction of all |
| 4024s | was that we're having exciting games and |
| 4025s | game one was absolutely insane oh yeah |
| 4030s | I'm hoping we get maybe a total flip of |
| 4032s | the standings so the game three has as |
| 4034s | much hype coming into a fresh start but |
| 4037s | uh obviously the likelihood of that |
| 4038s | isn't happening did you feel like there |
| 4041s | was any player that really stood out to |
| 4042s | you in game one is yeah maybe gonna |
| 4046s | repeat perform |
| 4048s | um well or maybe a little poorly in game |
| 4050s | two I mean I do think the penguin sand |
| 4052s | really has a shot of making it done |
| 4054s | every time I've seen him play uh in |
| 4056s | lobby Legends he's just looked uh |
| 4059s | incredibly solid rarely finding any |
| 4061s | mistakes at all uh from him uh I do |
| 4064s | think that XD did get a little bit |
| 4067s | unlucky in those games like going down |
| 4069s | to exactly 15 damage losing a couple of |
| 4071s | rough fights against murlocs with poison |
| 4073s | and very high Health uh all those kind |
| 4075s | of things I think his strategy that he |
| 4077s | went for should have done a little bit |
| 4078s | better so I hope we get to see some |
| 4080s | justice for him and things turning |
| 4083s | around a little bit |
| 4085s | um but uh for you one of the things I |
| 4087s | actually wanted to ask you before we |
| 4089s | jump into the game is uh I believe it |
| 4092s | came up a couple times was the absence |
| 4094s | of Mex uh in that first game which for |
| 4096s | me feels like one of the most warping |
| 4098s | um |
| 4099s | uh minion types right now in |
| 4101s | Battlegrounds how do you think that game |
| 4103s | was shaped by the absence of mechs and |
| 4105s | how will it change if we see them in |
| 4106s | subsequent games |
| 4108s | yeah it was a bit interesting because |
| 4109s | beasts were in |
| 4111s | uh you know in in those summons really |
| 4114s | can do a number on Max right countering |
| 4116s | those Divine Shields but how the impact |
| 4119s | is you know like you asked is these |
| 4121s | players play into the direction from a |
| 4124s | very early stage just by picking up |
| 4125s | tempo right they kind of know what |
| 4128s | they're going for |
| 4129s | turns ahead they have this amazing |
| 4131s | foresight for how the game will turn out |
| 4133s | it makes completely warped that in the |
| 4135s | mid game and the late game because |
| 4137s | access to vine Shield |
| 4139s | can manifest itself in so many ways |
| 4142s | whether that's modules on something like |
| 4144s | a ball of minions or are making some |
| 4146s | really big deflectors or copying holy |
| 4150s | mackerels and the access to Divine |
| 4152s | Shields to trade out some of those big |
| 4153s | stats changes how other players will |
| 4155s | play so you have players playing maybe |
| 4157s | less into the leroys and mantas and |
| 4160s | things like that because |
| 4162s | the shields can reset themselves and |
| 4165s | take out some of those poisons and |
| 4167s | you're not really worry about it as much |
| 4170s | yeah okay be interesting to see |
| 4173s | um |
| 4174s | in terms of the uh the quests as well |
| 4177s | now that we've seen uh the newest quest |
| 4179s | uh coming in front of the center are |
| 4182s | there any other ones that you are hoping |
| 4183s | to see |
| 4185s | um come up over the course of today any |
| 4187s | favorites |
| 4188s | uh wonderball is always always fun |
| 4192s | um ethereal evidence is it's not the |
| 4195s | best but it's really hard to judge how |
| 4198s | good it is because it's kind of like |
| 4200s | panda in there you get a like flexibly |
| 4202s | choose |
| 4203s | and so I really like that one because |
| 4205s | the the flexibility and seeing how you |
| 4207s | adapt a situation saying this Quest is |
| 4209s | really good here or one turn of stolen |
| 4211s | gold might get me over the top |
| 4214s | um or the moment I need so I would like |
| 4217s | to see those ones as well as cookbook I |
| 4220s | mean I'm just a big fan of cookbook |
| 4221s | people kind of slept on it at the |
| 4223s | beginning of quests they were like it's |
| 4225s | too slow it doesn't get but when |
| 4227s | everything you buy is like 50 50 70 100 |
| 4230s | 100 sometimes something that's pretty |
| 4233s | good |
| 4235s | yeah yeah I don't know if I'd |
| 4236s | necessarily have the uh the APM for that |
| 4238s | as uh maybe some of our players May |
| 4240s | struggle as well given the uh the |
| 4242s | different servers especially for our |
| 4244s | European players thankfully no America's |
| 4246s | players they don't have to deal with the |
| 4248s | uh the Ping uh yeah so yeah so I'm sure |
| 4251s | they're all Overjoyed to not be there |
| 4254s | um but uh no I mean the players you know |
| 4257s | a lot of them have played crossover in |
| 4259s | the past so they are okay at adapting |
| 4263s | but certainly the Ping can be a bit of a |
| 4266s | disadvantage especially again with that |
| 4268s | mental game of just like thinking about |
| 4269s | the fact that it was like I have to |
| 4271s | leave myself like three or four seconds |
| 4272s | at the end to just make sure I finish my |
| 4274s | turn you know I don't want to take any |
| 4276s | chances and then you're rushing yourself |
| 4278s | a little bit uh but if these players can |
| 4280s | remain calm make the decisions they got |
| 4282s | them here in the first place they'll all |
| 4284s | be perfectly fine |
| 4287s | I'm sure they will as well I'm quickly |
| 4289s | running through the rest of those uh |
| 4293s | bandwagon picks |
| 4295s | um as we've just been told they're |
| 4296s | sorting out a couple things with the |
| 4298s | players should be getting into the game |
| 4299s | any second now uh sorry not the the |
| 4301s | bandwagon picks the um |
| 4304s | uh what's what I'm looking for |
| 4307s | the questions puzzle box puzzle box |
| 4310s | there we go apologies uh yeah as we saw |
| 4312s | one there but it felt like in terms of |
| 4314s | the number of turns that it took in that |
| 4315s | game that was not even close to turn 19 |
| 4318s | uh that we'd need to get to in order to |
| 4320s | satiate that condition |
| 4323s | yeah the the long games are generally |
| 4325s | the ones they have those sort of |
| 4327s | extended 1v1 or top three situations |
| 4331s | um and oftentimes those are sort of |
| 4333s | those sat games that end up being |
| 4335s | dominated by murlax with Miralax and |
| 4338s | um speaking of Miralax in we don't have |
| 4340s | merluxin and we also don't have visa and |
| 4343s | instead we do have Mexican and penguin |
| 4345s | sun will take togwuggle here |
| 4348s | and we'll see if he does try to take |
| 4351s | advantage of Mex being in without a lot |
| 4354s | of other summons we we might see Max be |
| 4356s | very strong in this Lobby |
| 4358s | how are we feeling about talk wiggle now |
| 4360s | it's obviously been a little while since |
| 4362s | the the Nerf after his uh incredible |
| 4364s | dominance when he was first introduced |
| 4366s | uh do you still think it's a high |
| 4368s | priority pick |
| 4370s | uh I wouldn't call it high priority it's |
| 4373s | still one of those pickable playable |
| 4375s | Heroes but it's not something you're |
| 4377s | seeking out and it got much more |
| 4378s | challenging uh with the change in the |
| 4381s | meta because |
| 4383s | if you don't hit a token going four and |
| 4385s | four is not possible and if you do it's |
| 4389s | much more risky and you don't really |
| 4392s | want to put yourself into those risks |
| 4394s | especially if you risk not getting a |
| 4398s | quest that synergizes you know with not |
| 4400s | having Minions on the burden because |
| 4401s | quests are so influential I think we've |
| 4405s | seen people shy away from it a little |
| 4407s | bit more but still still picking it |
| 4409s | because it is still a very strong hero |
| 4411s | power |
| 4412s | when the XD buying and then freezing |
| 4415s | here obviously we can see why on a base |
| 4418s | level uh with the Synergy here on |
| 4420s | greybal but uh what does the curb look |
| 4424s | like here do you think with two non-econ |
| 4426s | minions in the shop |
| 4428s | yeah we do have these missing but there |
| 4431s | is uh econ still on one and so likely |
| 4434s | we'll see XD grab the micro money pair |
| 4437s | and then roll trying to hit |
| 4439s | um oh we're just or you don't you don't |
| 4441s | need a role in this situation |
| 4444s | um finds the econ right away uh I would |
| 4447s | expect to see the micro mummy in just |
| 4449s | freezing that Suave likely leveling to |
| 4451s | you next turn players have been |
| 4455s | prioritizing leveling you know not |
| 4458s | really later than five gold unless |
| 4461s | you're playing a reform curve because |
| 4463s | being on tier two for the quests is such |
| 4466s | a big deal |
| 4471s | see Max 7 key going up to tier two |
| 4476s | cycling through I believe uh to get |
| 4480s | that Galley wave's hero power ready for |
| 4482s | next turn |
| 4486s | and you agree with that you think it's |
| 4488s | worth losing the coin uh for that extra |
| 4490s | gold on the next turn |
| 4493s | it definitely will depend on the shop uh |
| 4497s | Milhouse with a really strong board very |
| 4499s | typical in the early turns |
| 4503s | oh in AFK we get the discoveries here |
| 4505s | froze the sun bacon finds a deflecto |
| 4509s | really early as well that's a banner |
| 4511s | board a little bit of scaling it can you |
| 4513s | know it just depends so much deflectio |
| 4515s | obviously the better Standalone unit but |
| 4517s | if you hit something like a bristleback |
| 4518s | brood that looks insanely strong |
| 4523s | is the two micro mummies in the shop |
| 4525s | sway used onto deflectable perhaps |
| 4529s | uh it doesn't but with the pashmar it |
| 4533s | might |
| 4535s | um Poshmark a pretty strong card |
| 4538s | probably underrated a little bit and |
| 4540s | we'll see does chronic a level here uh I |
| 4542s | think both blades are completely |
| 4544s | acceptable |
| 4545s | and will just level |
| 4549s | so gonna utilize the strength I'm gonna |
| 4551s | hold the gems saying I'm strong enough |
| 4554s | and if I get a quest that you know |
| 4556s | requires me to buff minions having these |
| 4557s | gems in hand will be worth it but |
| 4559s | matches up into a huge toughness let's |
| 4563s | look at the tie |
| 4564s | that's six for shield very very strong |
| 4568s | oh and Rogan here obviously taking |
| 4570s | another win on the Milhouse has put |
| 4572s | himself in a great position not taking |
| 4574s | any losses at the start with plenty of |
| 4576s | cards still in hand a lot of quests that |
| 4578s | could be completed very quickly here as |
| 4581s | there's quill ball oh my goodness but |
| 4585s | also Battle Cry |
| 4588s | oh and it's just nothing Hammer was also |
| 4590s | an option but yeah takes the battle |
| 4591s | cries house one in hand has the |
| 4594s | refreshing anomaly in the shop as well |
| 4600s | I'm wondering if he is considering |
| 4602s | staying down so one of the things that I |
| 4605s | just said might be contradicted as there |
| 4608s | are quite a few battle cards in one as |
| 4610s | well as having that free roll |
| 4613s | and a couple of pairs available |
| 4617s | finds another Battle Cry |
| 4619s | okay |
| 4621s | and we might see the level here now |
| 4626s | okay good I always get worried you know |
| 4629s | the casters first you know you say oh I |
| 4632s | think we're gonna see the level uh that |
| 4634s | next thing you know you don't see the |
| 4635s | level but yeah Rogue isn't gonna fill |
| 4637s | out his board keep a little bit of |
| 4640s | flexibility with the settlemental being |
| 4641s | able to be sold it has three pairs are |
| 4644s | ready to go and that Quest already very |
| 4646s | far along |
| 4660s | Elementals for volatile Venom so we'll |
| 4662s | have another Venom game |
| 4664s | um and this one is a bit more |
| 4666s | interesting because we have mechs which |
| 4668s | definitely do have Summons of course we |
| 4670s | do have that scallywag in the shop but |
| 4674s | no beasts or demons which are the other |
| 4676s | sort of uh premium |
| 4680s | you know death rattles summon tight uh |
| 4684s | minion types |
| 4691s | and where I can pick just jumping in in |
| 4694s | here the last seconds of turn four |
| 4696s | technically |
| 4701s | yeah me too and here we have XC has |
| 4703s | lined up triple heads more pairs gonna |
| 4706s | be you know relatively strong off the |
| 4709s | back of that uh gravo hero power with |
| 4712s | the summons on board |
| 4715s | has lined up a triple |
| 4718s | and he's still looking for battle cries |
| 4720s | right I think was |
| 4722s | broken his quest |
| 4724s | was battlecry's the econ |
| 4726s | interesting situation here and more |
| 4729s | importantly what he wants to Triple into |
| 4732s | with oh Miralax brand isn't quite as |
| 4737s | good still extraordinarily strong on |
| 4739s | Milhouse but no mama bear uh crocolisk |
| 4743s | available on tier five and so I'm |
| 4745s | wondering |
| 4747s | where Regine wants to take this I feel |
| 4749s | like going first six is a bit too greedy |
| 4752s | um Milhouse does love sixes but gonna |
| 4754s | need to pick up Tempo at some point and |
| 4756s | freezing for that long is a hairy |
| 4759s | situation would you ever go just take |
| 4761s | the four full well I was gonna say |
| 4763s | specifically for recycling race which he |
| 4765s | does manage to hit with the two droplets |
| 4767s | in hand |
| 4769s | and I was gonna say it so because the |
| 4771s | fives were weaker and sixes are you know |
| 4774s | so far away I I think that you're not |
| 4777s | wanting to buy the Harvest Golem or that |
| 4779s | molten rock like the Ford does seem like |
| 4781s | the play here so I like it a lot and I |
| 4784s | think |
| 4786s | Rogan's not going to be too disappointed |
| 4788s | at all hitting the recycling Reef like |
| 4790s | you said probably the best hit that for |
| 4792s | him and uh luckily I mean you know this |
| 4794s | but uh turn four I did bandwagon Rogue |
| 4796s | jeans so uh hopefully that one turns out |
| 4800s | um I'm liking his face so far |
| 4803s | it's got in in time as Max uh Seven Keys |
| 4806s | starting to turn around for him here as |
| 4809s | he does take a win and what oh the |
| 4811s | triple presented so many players hitting |
| 4814s | this going into the turn seven all right |
| 4816s | tripling into a 500 know me on the other |
| 4818s | hand very good doesn't quite what he was |
| 4822s | hoping you know looking for a brand |
| 4824s | maybe a Nomi here but it finds a little |
| 4826s | Reagan that will be the pickup uh just |
| 4828s | the most synergistic and the highest |
| 4830s | availability to scale but yeah that |
| 4832s | golden Sensei gonna be really nice with |
| 4834s | that put bot in the mid game here |
| 4836s | all right penguin Sun needing to |
| 4840s | play six quill balls or Elementals again |
| 4842s | for a tiny henchmen yeah yeah and has it |
| 4847s | available in shop with the banner board |
| 4848s | and the uh sunbait can relaxer |
| 4857s | uh I'm |
| 4860s | wondering if he's just waiting to not |
| 4863s | give information or was considering |
| 4864s | selling the uh Elemental versus the sun |
| 4868s | bacon relaxer it looks like to play a |
| 4869s | full board |
| 4879s | there's some on the other hand |
| 4883s | gonna proc Quest here |
| 4887s | all the friends along the way and that's |
| 4889s | a very early pickup for |
| 4892s | friends along the way giving to Naga |
| 4894s | which is one of the best |
| 4897s | setups you can have with friends along |
| 4898s | the way because you have the option to |
| 4901s | get so many useful units even if it's |
| 4904s | just for a turn as well as access to |
| 4907s | Shell collectors or some econ |
| 4911s | and if you do get that Naga set up |
| 4913s | you're going to be very happy because |
| 4914s | you are able to get so many free spell |
| 4917s | craft to uh generate |
| 4920s | in the same skin |
| 4923s | is he gonna take a little bit of a hit |
| 4925s | but first damage here from 49 so I was |
| 4929s | able to stay healthy up till now taking |
| 4931s | 13 though from Max 7q scallions yeah |
| 4935s | looking very weak but trying to hit that |
| 4937s | triple obviously into a six here wow uh |
| 4941s | very very greedy indeed but also having |
| 4943s | friends along the way for nag is quite |
| 4945s | funnily |
| 4947s | yeah and because of that that's part of |
| 4950s | what's dictating this decision to go for |
| 4951s | six to hold these naga in hand uh trying |
| 4955s | to hit orgas the horror if thistle here |
| 4957s | will he |
| 4960s | [Music] |
| 4961s | oh my goodness the most unfortunate |
| 4965s | timing we see him considering so it |
| 4967s | wasn't a snap pick at least |
| 4969s | and that means it's gonna be a full |
| 4973s | Reaper so yeah just taking the tempo |
| 4975s | here has the uh Electrify to give it a |
| 4980s | little bit of extra attack in this mid |
| 4982s | game but still on five has that friends |
| 4985s | along the way triggered oh Lexi has |
| 4988s | golden Hammer with a ton in hand and |
| 4992s | also a Nomi offered |
| 4994s | I don't quite see his board yeah taking |
| 4997s | advantage of the password is going to be |
| 5002s | oh hang them picked up here not wanting |
| 5005s | to |
| 5006s | freeze the settlements on the droplet |
| 5010s | I would have loved to see gold and Nomi |
| 5013s | played here early on turn seven but |
| 5014s | maybe the the experience of not winning |
| 5017s | last game get into him saying ah the |
| 5019s | Elementals weren't good enough I mean |
| 5021s | come even cool turn seven early for know |
| 5023s | me anymore I feel like that |
| 5026s | well it's golden right that's the |
| 5028s | difference true true |
| 5031s | um xd's cleave does take out one of |
| 5033s | those patchmarks as well as one of the |
| 5034s | menaces so a very strong glutes it first |
| 5037s | the other platform guys he's actually |
| 5039s | his face immediately turns to shock as |
| 5043s | he's gonna get barely any value |
| 5047s | you're actually gonna take a tie a loss |
| 5050s | a loss yeah |
| 5052s | despite having a full hand of spell |
| 5055s | craft lasting so AC is full Reaper |
| 5058s | that's enough |
| 5060s | yeah I get that gorilla sticks getting |
| 5062s | in there |
| 5064s | we're really just trying to find some |
| 5066s | proper direction now for sure because |
| 5068s | he's starting to lose that initial huge |
| 5070s | burst of tempo he had he is going to |
| 5072s | start I said triple patchmark though |
| 5074s | into a six |
| 5075s | and he'll go for the faux Reaper here |
| 5079s | how's the wind Cherry in hand yeah |
| 5081s | that's nice obviously oh |
| 5083s | there was a work here and I don't know |
| 5085s | how the mechanic works but it would have |
| 5086s | been interesting to see if he could gold |
| 5088s | in the War gear and see if those stamps |
| 5089s | would be permanent on the full Reaper |
| 5095s | rules for the Elise wanting to |
| 5098s | potentially keep the golden Hammer for |
| 5101s | Golden six perhaps Rogan also tripling |
| 5104s | this time into a five getting tripled |
| 5107s | again finds to know me |
| 5110s | paired with Master realities and holy |
| 5113s | mackerel |
| 5114s | yeah |
| 5115s | choice |
| 5118s | if you hit all of minions but yeah I |
| 5121s | agree it's kind of too specific |
| 5126s | and roguazine does have an |
| 5128s | enhance-o-matic |
| 5129s | oh look at this board |
| 5140s | will provide some scaling here in the |
| 5143s | intermediate term |
| 5145s | gonna spread out that attack |
| 5147s | too much attack uh not gonna be relevant |
| 5149s | this early is that uh full Reaper will |
| 5151s | be able to deal with most of these |
| 5152s | minions in fact uh |
| 5155s | person's entire board covered by the |
| 5158s | phone |
| 5161s | oh Reaper is dead now Arsen will take a |
| 5166s | slight win with the Wave Rider surviving |
| 5168s | to health will be nine damage coming |
| 5171s | into XD as both the friends along the |
| 5174s | way players move along and take the two |
| 5177s | nagas |
| 5178s | oh okay okay |
| 5181s | that's a whole lot of stats that four |
| 5183s | Reaper is going to be very big oh |
| 5185s | corrupted mermaid on an interesting |
| 5187s | pickup |
| 5189s | I mean he just needs that officer that's |
| 5191s | all that's missing from making this |
| 5193s | really start to pop off but he doesn't |
| 5194s | have much time to do it because it's |
| 5196s | really only that initial burst of tempo |
| 5198s | from the faux Reaper that was keeping |
| 5199s | him in it as soon as that starts to get |
| 5201s | outscaled he's going to start losing |
| 5203s | very very quickly |
| 5206s | yeah and he did have that discover off |
| 5208s | of that organzoa leveling to six because |
| 5210s | of it uh Vigo also discovering S6 has |
| 5213s | that volatile Venom active |
| 5216s | for Reaper |
| 5217s | won't be able to attack twice but a big |
| 5220s | cleave is very strong at all points but |
| 5222s | Charles and walking for both a lot of |
| 5225s | free passive scaling it looks like Vigo |
| 5228s | has a few taunts on board |
| 5230s | only profit of the boards though |
| 5232s | does take the walking Fort and will try |
| 5234s | and play into it though and this is an |
| 5237s | interesting setup because with taunts |
| 5239s | with volatile Venom you might say well |
| 5241s | those minions attack they die right away |
| 5243s | how much do I really want to invest into |
| 5245s | them well the big thing is that if he |
| 5247s | can taunt them and put them in the back |
| 5249s | those stats will be relevant as your |
| 5250s | opponent will attack into them for you |
| 5252s | and you don't need to attack with them |
| 5254s | so it looks like that is uh what the |
| 5257s | thought process there is for Vigo |
| 5260s | Galaxy just doing some absolute magic |
| 5263s | there I don't know exactly what was |
| 5264s | happening but uh it was impressive no |
| 5266s | matter what as we see another player uh |
| 5268s | with obviously the the Naga scaling |
| 5270s | friends along the way for Kirsten but in |
| 5272s | his instance he was able to hit the |
| 5274s | officer which is such a big difference |
| 5276s | this scaling you know probably needs |
| 5280s | another atheist or if he's actually |
| 5281s | going to be winning the game with this |
| 5283s | but he's on his way uh to outscaling his |
| 5286s | opponents very easily |
| 5289s | yeah Max seven key |
| 5292s | on that Gallery doesn't quite have the |
| 5295s | uh |
| 5300s | it was so close but the yeah moving at |
| 5304s | one the corrupted murmidon is able to |
| 5306s | clear and so gallowakes takes a bit of |
| 5308s | damage Carson that's scaling |
| 5312s | like you said that if this isn't making |
| 5313s | the difference in the stats there |
| 5316s | um checks he doubted 12 Health but has |
| 5319s | potentially the strongest setup in the |
| 5322s | lobby with golden Hammer or gozoa |
| 5324s | because the way that that mechanic works |
| 5326s | is that when you do golden net or gozoa |
| 5329s | you get the extra spell crash so that |
| 5332s | orcas oh if he decides to use that |
| 5334s | golden Hammer is providing three Naga a |
| 5338s | turn |
| 5339s | as well as the golden on the next turn |
| 5342s | potentially I don't remember exactly how |
| 5344s | that works but yeah very very strong oh |
| 5346s | and it looks like he actually was able |
| 5348s | to hit the ball of Minion stats on the |
| 5352s | faux Reaper I think because he buffed up |
| 5353s | one of those really really big with all |
| 5355s | the uh spellcraft from pashma |
| 5358s | yeah and it looks like he found another |
| 5360s | orgazord he's gonna be |
| 5363s | is he gonna play into this Elise for |
| 5365s | another triple no uh well yes but he |
| 5368s | sells the ball I was gonna say he could |
| 5369s | use that orozoa to look for another ball |
| 5371s | of minions and try and triple it with |
| 5373s | the pair in hand but |
| 5376s | decides to go for that at least discover |
| 5380s | I don't even know what this comp is it's |
| 5382s | kind of nothing but it still looks like |
| 5385s | strong |
| 5386s | uh still no attention advantage of the |
| 5389s | Critter Wranglers here you know so |
| 5391s | really leaning into the scaling and just |
| 5393s | getting so many discoveries with that |
| 5395s | organzoa |
| 5397s | it's a mechanic with golden Hammer and |
| 5399s | we saw how big that cleave is you know a |
| 5402s | huge cleave is game changing in |
| 5404s | Battlegrounds and it's trying to make |
| 5406s | some of his own has one pretty big one |
| 5408s | has Divine Shield win Fury available for |
| 5411s | both oh hell it's an Omega Buster he'll |
| 5415s | know if this that he just has not been |
| 5417s | able to find one |
| 5419s | yeah it doesn't really have the |
| 5420s | permanent scaling |
| 5425s | yeah no Critter Anglers either he's just |
| 5427s | got nothing |
| 5428s | apart from immediate Temple no scalings |
| 5433s | and your house was able to |
| 5437s | up that scallywag too in a scene the |
| 5440s | heights with that golden Peggy oh yeah |
| 5444s | um luckily for XD uh it's not too much |
| 5447s | damage |
| 5451s | you know Silver Lining is only going to |
| 5454s | take five here still at 22 and as far as |
| 5457s | we know damage cap is still active |
| 5461s | uh Vega's volatile Venom I'm gonna get |
| 5464s | him the wind character against Kirsten's |
| 5466s | Arana |
| 5467s | going down to 10 is Arana |
| 5470s | um what a difference still active on |
| 5472s | turn 11. we'd all right anyone out like |
| 5477s | 10 12 in a while there were only three |
| 5480s | players left on turn 12 last time right |
| 5482s | whereas now everyone's still in okay |
| 5484s | unless something goes insanely wrong |
| 5486s | we're gonna have it right more than that |
| 5487s | this time yeah |
| 5490s | So currently got a Smoking Gun and this |
| 5493s | is sort of that Mech |
| 5495s | leaning lying it AFK not able to hit too |
| 5499s | much did triple that deflector into this |
| 5501s | six here now it's the option to take |
| 5503s | Theater which is good scaling has at |
| 5506s | least two premium units to buff up in |
| 5510s | the deflecto and the cyclone |
| 5513s | uh also potentially considering the |
| 5515s | genie though with a little bit more |
| 5517s | Synergy with the Smoking Gun in the |
| 5520s | immediate term |
| 5523s | what are we looking to improve this |
| 5525s | right now is this digging for mackerel |
| 5528s | specifically or are there other |
| 5529s | powerhouses you're looking for on five |
| 5532s | yeah I mean at this point I think her |
| 5535s | Nico's kind of stuck playing into max |
| 5537s | with that decision not to go into the |
| 5540s | theater |
| 5541s | so gonna look for resets menaces but |
| 5546s | might not know that a lot of the menaces |
| 5547s | are stuck on the vigo's board as we tune |
| 5550s | into vigo's perspective it's exactly |
| 5553s | what we talked about earlier using those |
| 5556s | taunts putting them in the back with the |
| 5558s | walking Fort and letting that volatile |
| 5560s | Venom just soak up those early attacks |
| 5563s | with those summons and then letting the |
| 5566s | taunts eat up the attacks on the back |
| 5573s | looks like it should just about to be |
| 5575s | able to outscale this it's a pretty |
| 5579s | frustrating uh |
| 5581s | macro I will say would be good to be |
| 5583s | able to feel |
| 5585s | oh and I guess it's like they're getting |
| 5587s | a reset is it a really nice consolation |
| 5592s | uh we'll get values gonna come down to a |
| 5595s | 50 50 here but oh |
| 5597s | yeah not anymore |
| 5600s | yeah and I think it's that reset was |
| 5602s | there Vigo had a chance to take this |
| 5605s | fight you see the stats really evening |
| 5607s | out but once again we are going to have |
| 5609s | that same consolation that AC had is it |
| 5612s | it's just that huge scallywag that |
| 5615s | survives but it is enough for Rogan to |
| 5618s | carry these mid-game fights |
| 5620s | still no one's died turned 12 and it's a |
| 5623s | full floppy here as my pick once again |
| 5627s | in Max 7 key looking to be on the brink |
| 5630s | of Destruction here uh but it's not over |
| 5633s | not quite yet he's got gallowakes plus a |
| 5635s | huge amount of uh econ available in |
| 5638s | these turns yeah a ton of rules and |
| 5642s | getting smiling out of the lyrics as he |
| 5645s | Cycles |
| 5646s | even Morton hits a huge glow scale gonna |
| 5649s | be able to protect that corrupted |
| 5650s | murmidon |
| 5652s | instantly putting that shield on making |
| 5654s | sure that oh it hits the walls |
| 5657s | this looks so much money though I mean |
| 5660s | if Max 7K survives this turn |
| 5664s | looking to potentially be the strongest |
| 5665s | in the lobby galleyways one of those |
| 5667s | Heroes that quests or not that hero of |
| 5670s | power is so powerful |
| 5674s | takes an arcazoa for more econ |
| 5676s | potentially gonna discover the corrupted |
| 5678s | murder but not triple but doesn't |
| 5680s | grabs the angler |
| 5682s | uh yeah really just looking for what |
| 5685s | mounted Queen at this point of the sixes |
| 5687s | for an immediate burst of power |
| 5690s | yeah it hits Gambler after Gambler yeah |
| 5694s | uh I wish we could see how much gold |
| 5698s | bank savicki has banked up after this |
| 5700s | one actually Skips a gameplay but rolls |
| 5703s | into a Tavern Tempest because who cares |
| 5705s | uh let's just hit every econ unit |
| 5708s | available |
| 5711s | yeah just looking for ways to actually |
| 5713s | finish this out selfless hero obviously |
| 5715s | the selfless hero leading with the zap |
| 5718s | maybe take out attack card |
| 5722s | just again everything to try and survive |
| 5724s | it to health that Leroy looking to be |
| 5726s | that skier Union on the board the Zach |
| 5729s | will go into the kanglers but because of |
| 5731s | that volatile Venom isn't enough to |
| 5733s | clear it |
| 5736s | and despite Max 7K may be having the |
| 5739s | brightest Outlook |
| 5741s | though that's a huge hit the one in |
| 5745s | three not getting the reset |
| 5755s | with that hit under the deflective is |
| 5757s | gonna survive |
| 5760s | um so there's just too many stats and I |
| 5762s | I don't think it was a guaranteed win if |
| 5764s | the deflector didn't get hit just then |
| 5766s | so max I think you're gonna breathe a |
| 5768s | sigh of relief doing 12 to Vigo and we |
| 5772s | have our first death |
| 5774s | we do XD that is not the one I wanted to |
| 5777s | see |
| 5779s | oh |
| 5780s | oh yeah that's true uh that's a tough |
| 5783s | break next seven key with more econ |
| 5788s | gonna be cycled doing some cycling of |
| 5790s | his own is real good gene on the |
| 5791s | Milhouse these two Heroes |
| 5793s | all right just the best in the game it |
| 5796s | simply cycling through units getting |
| 5799s | value |
| 5800s | everything with some Dodge rolls though |
| 5803s | not finding any Elementals any econ |
| 5806s | so the scaling this turn is gonna be |
| 5808s | minimal |
| 5810s | what was it is but |
| 5813s | I don't even know if |
| 5817s | if he's interested in infusing it at |
| 5819s | this point |
| 5823s | I mean |
| 5824s | it is obviously strongest to play it but |
| 5826s | you were really hoping to be able to |
| 5829s | Triple or plate onto it you know played |
| 5832s | onto a Libra or minted |
| 5833s | or even something like a selfless I had |
| 5836s | a little bit more value |
| 5840s | wow those that official scaling is |
| 5843s | starting to get out of hand exactly it |
| 5845s | felt like he needed to hit the second |
| 5846s | officer in order to be able to scale |
| 5848s | quickly enough to take down this game |
| 5850s | and he has done so with a lobby with no |
| 5853s | murlocs in uh the running these fasted |
| 5857s | minions may just be good enough to get |
| 5858s | the job done but then it's a golden it's |
| 5861s | up for shaksi as it's uh it's so funny |
| 5864s | to see the players who didn't hate |
| 5865s | friends along the way for nagas seem to |
| 5868s | be the ones who are hitting a thistle uh |
| 5870s | and getting the work done with uh nagas |
| 5874s | yeah and she's actually making full use |
| 5875s | of that career Wrangler to buff up that |
| 5877s | huge foe Reaper and uh it's gonna come |
| 5881s | down to where this full Reaper is able |
| 5882s | to hit but I think she actually has |
| 5884s | enough to uh clear curse them here oh |
| 5887s | yeah the firework is just so big isn't |
| 5890s | it |
| 5892s | cleave oh going into the corrupted |
| 5896s | murder without the corrupted move it on |
| 5897s | responding by going into the leeway and |
| 5899s | Chassis will lethal curse him |
| 5902s | cleanly the office of the Critter angler |
| 5904s | the Orca zoa the keystones of the Naga |
| 5907s | comp surviving the lethal the Arana |
| 5910s | we've seen for Figo here the venom has |
| 5914s | been a Fickle friend so far in this |
| 5916s | tournament it's sometimes it's been |
| 5918s | fantastically strong others not quite |
| 5920s | good enough but here it finally looks |
| 5922s | like this obvious Synergy between the |
| 5923s | mechs and the Venom is uh is paying off |
| 5926s | as he gets a win and I think a knockout |
| 5930s | uh first kuraneco as well it will be |
| 5934s | crew Nico you can get a few play cents |
| 5937s | off the back of that Smoking Gun but uh |
| 5939s | we see you know when when Vigo is able |
| 5942s | to get that ideal combat RNG did affect |
| 5945s | your resetting a few times just insanely |
| 5948s | strong as those tones also are |
| 5950s | continuing to scale up |
| 5952s | oh in an interesting triple would pick |
| 5955s | up the |
| 5959s | fair enough okay yeah it doesn't take it |
| 5960s | I I think this is a better play you |
| 5963s | could try and put it on to another Mech |
| 5965s | that's like another deflector shows |
| 5968s | itself but uh yeah liking listen oh this |
| 5970s | is a hard one okay Lorinda giving us a |
| 5973s | tough time here |
| 5978s | okay so that Leroy is |
| 5980s | first which means it's got a good chance |
| 5982s | of hitting a bad |
| 5984s | argue obviously there's no win Fury |
| 5987s | currently I don't think for the |
| 5990s | it doesn't oh it's a big deal |
| 5994s | yeah if there is wind Fury I think it |
| 5996s | would be a clear choice but |
| 6000s | not clear at all for me yeah this is |
| 6004s | tough it's actually really tough |
| 6012s | think I'm gonna go with fancy here soon |
| 6016s | I think I am too I the four Reaper just |
| 6019s | looks so good right exactly especially a |
| 6024s | lot of the power for Vigo is that |
| 6025s | deflector bot and the burrito has a good |
| 6028s | chance of taking that out given that |
| 6030s | it's taunted and next to a couple of |
| 6031s | other taught minions |
| 6033s | oh and there's another glow skill in |
| 6035s | here for sure actually it's closely |
| 6037s | again just depends on the resets |
| 6040s | um Leroy's on both sides but because |
| 6042s | that for Reaper isn't taunted uh that's |
| 6044s | gonna be the difference for me on |
| 6047s | checks the uh potentially getting that |
| 6050s | full Reaper to attack again taking out a |
| 6052s | lot of the summons available |
| 6054s | foreign |
| 6078s | [Applause] |
| 6095s | yeah just just enough and uh with Vigo |
| 6098s | only at eight health they will be a |
| 6100s | lethal coming out of shaxy's Elise |
| 6104s | oh and that's a death oh |
| 6107s | goes down to the galleywix |
| 6110s | Ah that's kind of surprising like that |
| 6112s | was a pretty big board for rogue Sheen |
| 6115s | which just goes to show how big things |
| 6117s | must be for Max 7q and we can finally |
| 6119s | get a look at it in the face here this |
| 6121s | is some pretty scary scaling he's got |
| 6125s | going on and look at that much money 24 |
| 6128s | gold oh my goodness and gallowakes with |
| 6132s | friends along the way the econ value of |
| 6135s | everything you're getting is doubled |
| 6136s | anyways uh just because you get that |
| 6139s | extra goal for selling the unit and yeah |
| 6143s | Max 7K obviously getting some good units |
| 6146s | but just taking full advantage of all |
| 6150s | the econ we see him not even picking up |
| 6152s | gamblers because they take too much I |
| 6154s | think it's money it's not the issue here |
| 6156s | he's just trying to get as big as |
| 6158s | possible to try and deal with penguin |
| 6161s | sun and shanksy's board uh we didn't see |
| 6164s | what Penguins on was doing it too much |
| 6167s | this game |
| 6169s | um |
| 6174s | [Music] |
| 6178s | which isn't bad but only two levers and |
| 6182s | no poisons on the board |
| 6184s | I'm not sure that penguin sun is gonna |
| 6186s | be able to uh |
| 6188s | get that repeat win for me on this one |
| 6192s | Max Seven Keys sport is just so many |
| 6196s | stats oh man he's flipping over |
| 6198s | everything golden brown he accidentally |
| 6200s | rolled the golden branded that one I |
| 6203s | could tell he uh that one wasn't |
| 6205s | intentional I mean his face oh no but |
| 6209s | we've all been there luckily I don't |
| 6211s | think he has too much to worry about in |
| 6212s | this fight and uh |
| 6215s | that taunted brand you're going to be |
| 6217s | able to potentially soak up a hit from |
| 6219s | this Leroy foreign |
| 6239s | not gonna be able to get there |
| 6242s | but how often do you see little rag |
| 6244s | boards in winning positions |
| 6246s | not too often but like I said I think |
| 6249s | Elementals Elemental is a little |
| 6251s | underrated |
| 6254s | obviously you need to hit because you |
| 6256s | know obviously the most common way that |
| 6259s | you get these huge minions is offer know |
| 6261s | me pop-off game uh but if it's going |
| 6263s | through that it's through uh shaper of |
| 6265s | reality and the the major Domo this |
| 6268s | isn't even that this is just like pure |
| 6270s | little rag that's been able to get all |
| 6272s | this stat scaling here which is kind of |
| 6273s | crazy |
| 6275s | yeah and I mean part of it is the |
| 6277s | recycling wreath right and we saw a |
| 6280s | couple players you know pretty happy to |
| 6282s | hit it here |
| 6283s | um Roga Gene obviously a little bit more |
| 6286s | fickle on the Milhouse isn't able to |
| 6288s | bank up huge amounts of gold with just |
| 6290s | one pop-off turn I wasn't able to beat |
| 6293s | Max 7q scaling but we'll see if shakshi |
| 6296s | has it in him it's gonna be very very |
| 6299s | tough |
| 6301s | does have the golden Hammer still |
| 6303s | available uh to potentially |
| 6305s | golden the orgozoa for some extra spell |
| 6308s | crafts with self golden he's selfless |
| 6312s | here |
| 6317s | and I mean the cleave is still very |
| 6319s | powerful right that's been the |
| 6320s | Difference Maker sexy all game and is |
| 6324s | gonna golden the athissa just going for |
| 6326s | maximum |
| 6329s | scaling for this |
| 6331s | what potentially is the final turn here |
| 6335s | very likely the last time it's huge to |
| 6337s | hit another glow scale there though that |
| 6339s | cannot be overstated |
| 6341s | so it's going to cycle through as many |
| 6343s | sets as possible we're going to end with |
| 6345s | the selfless pairing |
| 6346s | Ian actually gonna play both knowing wow |
| 6348s | okay it's now we're never in I I mean I |
| 6351s | like that strategy Max everything with |
| 6354s | the taunted Lira has played around |
| 6355s | basically everything though |
| 6358s | sick that cleave is |
| 6363s | there it is |
| 6367s | like a hundred damage worth of cleave |
| 6370s | wind Fury then it hardly even scratches |
| 6372s | the moment on |
| 6375s | ah oh no in this |
| 6378s | micro right hand and is |
| 6383s | gonna be |
| 6385s | enough for Max 7 keep to win and lethal |
| 6388s | as the lyric survives |
| 6391s | so it was close though the |
| 6394s | Cyclery just down to five the Cleve |
| 6397s | didn't have a ton of value but yeah it |
| 6399s | was going to be really hard for Chachi |
| 6400s | to out of the scale gallowakes going |
| 6402s | forward |
| 6404s | and so max seven key a winner of Lobby |
| 6407s | Legends 2 |
| 6408s | is the winner of game two here in the |
| 6411s | last Lobby Legends of the year |
| 6413s | that's right yeah I'm really glad to see |
| 6415s | him take that win there I think it was a |
| 6416s | really nice pick of uh gallowicks in a |
| 6419s | lobby with Elementals with pirates you |
| 6421s | know all these uh common very high money |
| 6424s | or high gold uh types of Minion types |
| 6427s | that work very well with galleyworks |
| 6430s | just turned out to be exactly what Max |
| 6433s | 70 needed and of course his uh handling |
| 6436s | of a very high APM strategy on a |
| 6440s | different server I think was handled |
| 6442s | very well because as he picked up when |
| 6443s | he started skipping the gamblers |
| 6444s | skipping everything that wasn't either |
| 6446s | an elemental to keep cycling or I guess |
| 6449s | like orgazord he picks up specifically |
| 6451s | for glow scale because he just needed to |
| 6453s | maximize Divine Shields at that point in |
| 6455s | order to be able to uh scale a little |
| 6459s | bit better or boost his chances of |
| 6461s | winning those fights and I just think it |
| 6462s | was really really nicely done for him to |
| 6465s | pick it and very nicely done by me to |
| 6467s | pick him for my bandwagon the game two |
| 6470s | because I got one right this time wait |
| 6471s | you did you did uh really well played |
| 6475s | coming back with two health so you know |
| 6477s | it had his life on the line in every |
| 6479s | combat the uh you know for basically the |
| 6483s | whole game because we saw so many |
| 6484s | players staying at high health for so |
| 6485s | long and then people surviving for a |
| 6487s | long time but we have an update on the |
| 6489s | standings |
| 6491s | it's pretty interesting as well because |
| 6493s | we kind of have two |
| 6495s | drop-offs here where we have a clear top |
| 6498s | four right now who are looking like they |
| 6500s | are the favorites to get through because |
| 6501s | once again this is after day one for |
| 6505s | Lobby a and Lobby B the top four players |
| 6507s | go through two day two so Penguins then |
| 6510s | down to Rogan looking strong Vigo and |
| 6513s | kuraneko looking in with a good shot but |
| 6515s | for cursive and XD I think they're just |
| 6518s | out of the running entirely right no way |
| 6520s | for them to make it now |
| 6522s | yeah it's I believe impossible just with |
| 6525s | the uh the numbers that we have up here |
| 6527s | uh penguin sun is nearly guaranteed if |
| 6532s | and I guaranteed in |
| 6535s | um with that 12 point total only seven |
| 6537s | points available but yeah that top four |
| 6540s | pretty clear-cut Vigo and chronic are |
| 6542s | going to be challenging for those third |
| 6544s | and fourth spots though |
| 6547s | and uh I mean hopefully we'll see them |
| 6550s | challenge for it because |
| 6552s | I want I want a good game three you know |
| 6557s | are going to be trying to play spoiler |
| 6559s | right |
| 6560s | I hope so for your sake given that you |
| 6562s | picked the XD to get more points uh I I |
| 6565s | hope that he can clutch out something at |
| 6567s | least just to give you a slim chance uh |
| 6570s | but we'll see whether or not he can do |
| 6571s | that in the final game of Lobby a but |
| 6574s | not the final game of the day don't |
| 6576s | worry of Lobby Legends winter Veil after |
| 6579s | this break |
| 6580s | [Music] |

| 6743s | [Music] |
| 6781s | welcome back to Lobby Legends winter |
| 6783s | Veil the final Lobby or the final game I |
| 6787s | suppose I should say of Lobby a here |
| 6790s | where we are trying to find out who will |
| 6792s | join us tomorrow which uh which players |
| 6795s | will end up in the top four out of our |
| 6797s | eight players in lobby a uh curse of an |
| 6800s | XD I believe locked out of the |
| 6802s | possibility of doing so with a maximum |
| 6805s | of 8.5 points which would no longer be |
| 6807s | good enough to Eclipse Rogan who is in |
| 6810s | fourth place currently with 9.5 so |
| 6812s | really it's a question of whether Vigo |
| 6813s | and current Neko uh can get a good |
| 6816s | placement here and just manage to scrape |
| 6819s | their way in to that top four |
| 6822s | yeah and we've seen good performances |
| 6824s | from them just a little bit unfortunate |
| 6826s | situations you know especially uh |
| 6829s | chronico I think you know with that AFK |
| 6832s | Smoking Gun it's not really that High |
| 6834s | Roll potential that you're looking for |
| 6835s | uh but if he gets a better setup here |
| 6838s | you know I wouldn't be surprised to see |
| 6840s | him doing very well in Vigo I mean he |
| 6843s | look he doesn't have his arms crossed |
| 6844s | there's got to be a chance for himself I |
| 6846s | I just had to believe |
| 6849s | not that we're superstitious here on |
| 6851s | Lovely Legends but uh I mean if it's |
| 6853s | true it's true it's not superstitious |
| 6855s | that being said these Heroes not what |
| 6858s | I'd want to be seeing if I was in his |
| 6860s | situation Patrick carrial deathlinger |
| 6863s | okara Max are in so there is some |
| 6866s | Synergy but couldn't go with the |
| 6867s | password just because he knows he needs |
| 6870s | a bit of a Hyrule and that is the year |
| 6872s | that has the most Hyrule potential |
| 6875s | we see curl Nico is that curator |
| 6881s | yes I'm actually doing there it is yeah |
| 6884s | there we go oh my goodness look how cute |
| 6886s | that little amalgamate I needed that is |
| 6888s | adorable |
| 6890s | I mean honestly I was thinking that |
| 6892s | looks more like the uh |
| 6894s | cracker Zenyatta skin from OverWatch it |
| 6897s | was the the closest I could come up oh |
| 6899s | yeah yeah actually I know what you're |
| 6900s | talking about yeah |
| 6903s | we see Penguin sign with the mayev |
| 6907s | started with a sunbaking we're actually |
| 6909s | able to a hero power shell collector so |
| 6911s | really nice start on my penguin Sun |
| 6914s | uh |
| 6917s | and then okay cursums overlay on the |
| 6920s | slide didn't update I got |
| 6923s | I know but uh yeah as for the rest of |
| 6928s | the lobby we have a rogue routine on |
| 6929s | flergal which is a hero that I really |
| 6931s | want to check that Robo Gene gonna be |
| 6933s | fighting to hang on to that fourth place |
| 6935s | spot or even move up a little bit |
| 6937s | um flugel isn't something you've seen |
| 6938s | too often and we've seen it changed a |
| 6941s | few times semi recently but it's not |
| 6943s | like a favorite pick but there's just |
| 6946s | some Hyrule potential with it |
| 6950s | uh we have Max 7 key on your Sarge XD on |
| 6953s | galicron shaksian what I believe is |
| 6955s | c'thune uh and then that would leave |
| 6959s | cursum on the Elise here |
| 6963s | and how are things uh shaping up now |
| 6965s | that we've seen the change to uh c'thun |
| 6969s | in terms of the curve anything spicy |
| 6970s | gonna be going on here with the new hero |
| 6972s | power |
| 6973s | yeah so katoon got a huge buff by not |
| 6976s | having to hero power in these early |
| 6977s | turns able to just play a standard curve |
| 6979s | and then the big big Hyrule potential of |
| 6982s | katun is if you're able to hit that |
| 6985s | ghastly Mass Quest right you're getting |
| 6987s | double Buffs at the end of your turn and |
| 6990s | it is extraordinarily strong |
| 6993s | and she's actually gonna have a really |
| 6995s | good setup here because you don't need |
| 6997s | to invest that hero power he's going to |
| 7000s | be able to coin or potentially cycle |
| 7002s | through this Tad and I imagine he's |
| 7004s | going to pick a patient Scout because |
| 7005s | it's such a strong card to grab on turn |
| 7008s | three |
| 7010s | but you don't need to worry about the |
| 7011s | stats getting wasted onto something like |
| 7013s | a patient's Scout right you can save it |
| 7015s | for when you have a relevant unit |
| 7016s | potentially you know a five or six drop |
| 7018s | that that patient Scout is discovering |
| 7020s | and then start here replying when it |
| 7023s | makes more economic sense you know and |
| 7025s | it's not like a one one buff a two two |
| 7027s | buff but rather you know a six six seven |
| 7029s | seven buff to your board and makes that |
| 7032s | two gold a little bit more worthwhile |
| 7034s | we haven't really seen uh quill balls |
| 7036s | make too much of a flash so far in this |
| 7040s | tournament uh but do you think would you |
| 7043s | not have been tempted to go like coin by |
| 7045s | the profit of the ball there because for |
| 7047s | me and it's recently buffed form uh it's |
| 7049s | actually looking like a really strong |
| 7051s | mid-game option |
| 7053s | yeah |
| 7055s | totally agree it got a lot |
| 7059s | soever like I said in the uh last few |
| 7062s | games right these players are playing |
| 7063s | into their Synergy super early right if |
| 7066s | there was another Clover something like |
| 7068s | a tough Tusk on board where those gems |
| 7070s | make more of a difference it makes a lot |
| 7073s | more sense but without a guaranteed gem |
| 7074s | coming and without that direction |
| 7077s | already available passing it up seems |
| 7080s | totally fine we see shaksi missing out |
| 7082s | on that gassy mask like hitting three |
| 7084s | very interesting quests as kidnap SEC is |
| 7086s | pretty easy to complete for losing or |
| 7088s | tying two combats that's likely gonna |
| 7090s | happen with that patient Scout on board |
| 7092s | that's the respecter for six death |
| 7094s | rattles maybe not the pick and then that |
| 7097s | cookbook which I was hoping to see oh |
| 7101s | to increase the friendly minions that's |
| 7103s | six million times kind of steep |
| 7108s | yeah but in hansomatic super strong with |
| 7111s | Miralax in the lobby that poison Divine |
| 7113s | Shield potential too much to pass up and |
| 7116s | there is a micro mummy in the shop so |
| 7117s | we'll likely see that taken and |
| 7121s | uh yeah just gonna play a standard |
| 7124s | refund curve on the maiev |
| 7127s | uh here repairing that extra gold |
| 7130s | um in the alley cat also has a mini |
| 7134s | mermaid on coming which will help buff |
| 7136s | those stats up as well as another swamp |
| 7138s | Striker XD hits a very early Mama Bear |
| 7141s | again not really playing for a place |
| 7143s | when I put plain to play spoiler and Mom |
| 7144s | bear is a good unit to do that able to |
| 7146s | do a lot of damage early if he is able |
| 7148s | to find those beasts |
| 7151s | absolutely yeah one of the key made on |
| 7154s | uh Gala crook uh of course but like you |
| 7157s | say really just playing for pride at |
| 7160s | this point with no possibility of |
| 7162s | progressing through day two Vigo here uh |
| 7167s | uh also got himself a patient Scout |
| 7169s | which you'd have to imagine again is |
| 7171s | just going to be uh with Vigo in |
| 7174s | contention of winning really needing a |
| 7176s | good finish here like I'd say second or |
| 7179s | maybe first is really where you want to |
| 7181s | be heading uh getting a five or a six on |
| 7183s | that patient Scout is definitely where |
| 7184s | his head will be out |
| 7189s | yeah for sure in Vigo took I had 16 |
| 7192s | cards to hand to this question picked up |
| 7194s | that road Board gets one of those germs |
| 7201s | oh and Final |
| 7203s | what |
| 7205s | oh my goodness okay okay so this is |
| 7208s | where that profit of the board is in a |
| 7211s | perfect situation we're gonna see that |
| 7213s | patient's account able to be cycled here |
| 7215s | looking for another cool board to add |
| 7217s | more cards to hand doesn't hit it but |
| 7219s | has that triple coming in I expect that |
| 7222s | we might just see it right away are we |
| 7225s | gonna see a level in a purchase here in |
| 7228s | selling through this rock pool |
| 7230s | that also seems |
| 7233s | better I'll just say better yeah I think |
| 7236s | so |
| 7239s | um you could hit something like a brute |
| 7240s | right away and |
| 7244s | sort of gearing okay he does take the |
| 7246s | triple it's close because going into the |
| 7249s | cartoon you don't know how big those |
| 7250s | stats are gonna be right and you want to |
| 7252s | guarantee those cards to hand it and try |
| 7254s | and get these discoveries up as soon as |
| 7256s | possible |
| 7258s | and so with this quest of adding cards |
| 7260s | to hand if the uh Road ball activates |
| 7264s | would you'd have to imagine it would |
| 7266s | plus the uh the coin uh from the warden |
| 7269s | means that he will be able to discover a |
| 7270s | minion but it will only be a two cost |
| 7272s | here which means it's going to be a good |
| 7274s | while before he's discovering another |
| 7275s | Minion here I've got to be honest this |
| 7277s | is not the way I anticipated Vigo |
| 7279s | playing it who I thought given that he's |
| 7282s | on that threshold of Five Points not |
| 7284s | currently in the top four but still in |
| 7286s | contention to go through I thought I'd |
| 7288s | be aiming for a slightly riskier first |
| 7290s | place strategy |
| 7293s | well and the big thing here is that uh |
| 7296s | another hidden body is a repeatable |
| 7298s | quest it's the only repeatable curse and |
| 7301s | so he's setting up not necessarily for |
| 7305s | this first discovery but the future ones |
| 7307s | and if you are able to get repeated |
| 7309s | discoveries and you know let's say off |
| 7311s | this discovery he hits another prophet |
| 7314s | of the board and able to cycle any of |
| 7316s | those murlocs uh or sorry quill boards I |
| 7319s | see as the Tad is picked up thinking of |
| 7321s | the mind |
| 7323s | um you're able to sort of cycle those |
| 7325s | discoveries very very quickly and we see |
| 7328s | him like picking up spell crafts here |
| 7329s | and there's a sunbaking relaxer I'm |
| 7331s | almost positive we'll see that picked up |
| 7333s | here |
| 7336s | okay not home bad with assault |
| 7344s | I probably see it held in hand just |
| 7345s | playing this angler here |
| 7352s | again just yeah looking to maximize |
| 7354s | those discovers |
| 7361s | the interesting thing will be what he is |
| 7365s | trying to play into we don't see |
| 7367s | Elementals for pirates in so the Nomi |
| 7370s | lines the hogger lines that we see with |
| 7372s | another hidden body on five able to |
| 7374s | discover those directional cards not |
| 7378s | available here |
| 7381s | maybe we'll see him go into quill boards |
| 7383s | otherwise you know obviously we see |
| 7385s | flurgo piloted by Royal Gene murlocs are |
| 7389s | gonna be relevant this game that is for |
| 7392s | sure the question is who's going to be |
| 7394s | able to make them the most relevant and |
| 7396s | Will some of the mech players be able to |
| 7398s | sort of tempo them out before they get |
| 7399s | online |
| 7401s | golden honcho in Fargo is a very scary |
| 7404s | sight luckily it's not scary for Max 7K |
| 7408s | yet because that scaling hasn't kicked |
| 7409s | in but uh for the rest of the lobby as |
| 7412s | these Royals start to cycle they're |
| 7414s | going to pick up a lot of Health a lot |
| 7416s | of stats |
| 7419s | yeah |
| 7421s | thanks |
| 7423s | that's super scary |
| 7426s | eating to add 20 cards to his hand in |
| 7429s | order to get evil twin I believe |
| 7432s | uh which would be pretty good for him |
| 7435s | right now but not like instantly game |
| 7437s | winning the Vigilant stoneborne would |
| 7440s | obviously help to buff that up a little |
| 7441s | bit further though |
| 7444s | yeah and it looks like he's gonna buff |
| 7445s | that honcho for now the strongest unit |
| 7449s | uh later on it won't buff itself so |
| 7451s | we'll be able to copy another murloc |
| 7453s | meanwhile all the murlocs seem to be uh |
| 7456s | making themselves available on Penguins |
| 7458s | on this board |
| 7462s | because he's got a nice Swan Striker |
| 7464s | setup |
| 7465s | did it hit that Quest already |
| 7469s | handsomatic adding that 5-5 wind Fury to |
| 7472s | the tank just trying to play as Tempo |
| 7475s | heavy as possible because his end game |
| 7476s | is decided he's going to play for divine |
| 7478s | show murlocs it's just a matter of time |
| 7481s | till surviving |
| 7482s | uh |
| 7484s | until you're able to get those |
| 7485s | enhancements that you're aiming for and |
| 7488s | look at vico's hand and Hearts the hand |
| 7490s | hasn't been a problem for him |
| 7493s | that |
| 7494s | even tied brood is kind of gross so fast |
| 7500s | and I I have to give credit to him like |
| 7502s | you know I was saying that I thought he |
| 7504s | would wait to Triple into a higher cost |
| 7507s | minion and activate his first copy of |
| 7510s | another hidden body into a higher cost |
| 7512s | minion as well he went for this very |
| 7514s | high Tempo which again seems strange to |
| 7516s | me given that he has 60 hell to start |
| 7517s | with but it has just worked out very |
| 7519s | well for him he's able to get a very |
| 7521s | strong uh economy kind of rolling where |
| 7524s | he's getting lots of cars to his hand |
| 7525s | every single turn setting up for that |
| 7527s | further Quest completion and I think |
| 7530s | it's working out really well now getting |
| 7531s | either a four or making them a five cost |
| 7534s | on his next Quest completion he could |
| 7536s | start to find that direction that he was |
| 7538s | maybe lacking a little bit in his |
| 7540s | earlier stats |
| 7541s | yeah and I mean the big thing is we |
| 7544s | don't see it often so we don't talk |
| 7545s | about it often but it's a password |
| 7547s | that's 60 Health that everyone's got to |
| 7549s | get through so even if it takes them a |
| 7552s | little bit longer to find that direction |
| 7553s | he has so much |
| 7556s | Health to work with and so many |
| 7558s | discovers because he's able to oh oh my |
| 7561s | goodness there's a double ball pickup is |
| 7564s | still he grabbed |
| 7568s | oh in the Primal fins of oh my God these |
| 7571s | shots are insane yeah these are here's |
| 7573s | another prophet of the boar I don't |
| 7575s | think we'll see it picked up but just |
| 7578s | also the |
| 7580s | foreign caller okay he's gonna pick up |
| 7583s | the prophet he does have a lot of cobras |
| 7586s | actually to play in hand I didn't even |
| 7587s | notice the ball of minions also counting |
| 7591s | and he's get there's it's not limited to |
| 7593s | one's return like he's gonna get to |
| 7595s | discover here |
| 7598s | and this is just exactly what I made |
| 7600s | about profit of the board is you can set |
| 7601s | up turns like this where it becomes the |
| 7603s | uh blood gem generates of your entire |
| 7607s | strategy it doesn't need any other help |
| 7608s | at all |
| 7610s | yeah definitely and like I said when you |
| 7612s | picked it up is is the big question |
| 7615s | right it uh it can go from not very good |
| 7618s | too amazing without that Limit Oh an |
| 7621s | annoyo module or in necrolyte both |
| 7623s | interesting options does take the module |
| 7625s | is divine Shield poison could be on the |
| 7628s | way here for Vigo with that ball of |
| 7629s | Minions on the board |
| 7635s | the toxin likely to just end on the |
| 7638s | thorn collar here does indeed do so I |
| 7641s | think those jumps so fast the EPM uh I |
| 7645s | think regardless of the server you're on |
| 7647s | that's a hard turn to finish but ego |
| 7650s | does so brilliantly and look at this |
| 7652s | he's almost complete his quest again on |
| 7655s | the uh the same turn or the combat of |
| 7657s | the same term which means he's very |
| 7659s | likely to be getting up to a Tavern tier |
| 7661s | five he can discover that bran would be |
| 7663s | looking very powerful indeed uh maybe an |
| 7666s | agamagum as well to get some real strong |
| 7668s | use for these blood gems that he's |
| 7670s | generating so quickly |
| 7673s | yeah I I just think |
| 7676s | I mean I I can't State this enough how |
| 7678s | well this has been played right setting |
| 7681s | himself up for this situation by |
| 7683s | tripling |
| 7684s | on the early turn that we were iffy on |
| 7687s | you know I did like it but it's not an |
| 7690s | easy decision to make by any means and |
| 7693s | uh having the guts to to make that play |
| 7696s | call recognizing again just like |
| 7699s | the foresight needed to say it's not |
| 7702s | about this first discover or right in |
| 7705s | this moment but what am I looking at you |
| 7707s | know three four five turns down the line |
| 7709s | and beyond that even |
| 7716s | I believe which was interesting I |
| 7718s | haven't got to see all too much of it |
| 7720s | but not necessarily scaling very quickly |
| 7722s | uh at this point in the game |
| 7726s | uh I think even right now like I don't |
| 7729s | know if he's got the tempo necessarily |
| 7730s | to |
| 7731s | outclass a lot of these other players |
| 7733s | turn nine turn ten a lot of the other |
| 7736s | guys are getting pretty strong |
| 7738s | yeah and it's a tough fight he doesn't |
| 7740s | have those premium units on board yet |
| 7743s | that amalgam is gonna get pretty |
| 7746s | Big and of course with Mex and murlocs |
| 7750s | and divine Shield poison will eventually |
| 7752s | come for those units but the rest of his |
| 7754s | board rat packed some random Naga |
| 7757s | aren't the best and unfortunately he |
| 7760s | just has that teal tiger Sapphire Quest |
| 7761s | that |
| 7762s | doesn't have a high impact in these |
| 7765s | situations where rather than rolling |
| 7767s | you'd much rather be cycling units |
| 7769s | buffing up the units that you have on |
| 7770s | board or finding you know |
| 7774s | those premium |
| 7778s | adaptations via module and toxin |
| 7785s | I was going to say a bad hit for Leroy |
| 7787s | but it's a VT again |
| 7790s | yeah cursing down to Seven health but |
| 7793s | has gassy mask with the walking forward |
| 7797s | so that scaling is going to be |
| 7801s | Fast and Furious is |
| 7804s | that's gonna be 15 damage |
| 7807s | huh peeking on the other end |
| 7810s | that's right I know the two players |
| 7812s | currently on Five Points once again |
| 7814s | outside of the top four but with the |
| 7816s | potential to get through if they do well |
| 7818s | those being Vigo and current Echo for |
| 7821s | Vigo right now it's currently looking a |
| 7823s | lot better still on that full 60 elf at |
| 7827s | this point in the game and having some |
| 7829s | really nice scaling to go alongside it |
| 7831s | uh speaking of scaling here that kind of |
| 7834s | seems to be what's missing uh for XT |
| 7836s | because he's had obviously a pretty |
| 7839s | strong mid game here with hitting the |
| 7841s | mama bear all this B Synergy uh but |
| 7843s | where do we usually look to go from here |
| 7845s | Pokey to be able to actually progress |
| 7847s | further through this Lobby |
| 7850s | yeah and I mean for IXL it's gonna be a |
| 7854s | tough one and he uh he made a minor |
| 7857s | misplay there and when we see him sort |
| 7859s | of lamenting the fact but yeah you know |
| 7862s | obviously a little bit disengaged but |
| 7864s | meanwhile |
| 7865s | this on the other hand much more |
| 7867s | interesting board we were talking about |
| 7868s | you know theater |
| 7870s | [Music] |
| 7871s | and oh wait I did we talk about Roger |
| 7874s | Jane getting eliminated I did I miss |
| 7877s | that I don't think we did no because he |
| 7881s | was in forest |
| 7884s | is oh my goodness I yeah |
| 7889s | um Lorinda tried to kill us in and we |
| 7891s | just we just whiffed I'll I'll take the |
| 7894s | blame for that one but the double |
| 7895s | theater is a completely different story |
| 7898s | when you have the ability to oh and he's |
| 7902s | gonna taunt up the other one so they're |
| 7903s | gonna be able to scale if he finds |
| 7905s | strong shells just you look at how fast |
| 7909s | it's able to buff up three units of uh |
| 7914s | yeah different minion types and the nice |
| 7917s | thing is that in the late game you can |
| 7918s | continue to keep those units while |
| 7921s | transitioning the rest of your board |
| 7922s | into those minted sand Libras that we |
| 7925s | see most end games dominated by |
| 7928s | starting to get up first whiff of the uh |
| 7932s | oh that's a nice minion uh of murloc |
| 7934s | poison scam right which has been the |
| 7936s | terror of the Mets again for a very very |
| 7938s | long time now it hasn't been all too |
| 7940s | powerful so far in this tournament uh |
| 7943s | but here for shaksi he's able to just |
| 7947s | still take that Mach 7 key who's poisons |
| 7950s | murlocs were not quite big enough uh to |
| 7953s | be fighting actually beat a tie oh |
| 7956s | really oh no the tank just taking out |
| 7959s | just enough health and the shields you |
| 7962s | know it doesn't matter if you don't have |
| 7963s | health because the shields protect them |
| 7965s | and it's |
| 7966s | too much attack on being ahead |
| 7970s | 21 health is going to be 19 attack per |
| 7973s | turn and that is a lot if you have the |
| 7976s | right units |
| 7978s | she's actually just focusing on the |
| 7980s | scaling here I'm curious if we do see |
| 7982s | this dynamic duo sold it does provide |
| 7986s | another taunt it's |
| 7988s | not bad but it is also a distraction on |
| 7991s | the Buffs from this tough tusk |
| 7995s | which again you do really want to focus |
| 7997s | the stats so that you have ample board |
| 7999s | space to be able to flex in other Tech |
| 8002s | units |
| 8003s | um |
| 8004s | in this end game |
| 8010s | not an easy decision shanksy is |
| 8012s | struggling with it as well obviously the |
| 8014s | 2627 looks a little bit better than a |
| 8016s | 2-1 on board but in the long term I |
| 8019s | think this is a ray play and we see |
| 8020s | poison is an option that toxin in the |
| 8023s | shot but another tunnel Blaster |
| 8024s | available as well which might be better |
| 8026s | in this combat as well as I mean it is |
| 8030s | strictly more stats that murloc likely |
| 8033s | going to be able to deal with most of |
| 8035s | what's thrown at it at this point |
| 8037s | if you just tunnel Blaster and hero |
| 8040s | power instead of buying anything |
| 8044s | also an option though I would say I |
| 8047s | would expect to see the tunnel Blaster |
| 8049s | picked up because it also provides an |
| 8051s | option is a tech unit later on right so |
| 8054s | if he doesn't want to play it right away |
| 8056s | it also has that utility of being able |
| 8058s | to play it into some of the mech boards |
| 8060s | uh Divine Shield poison that might be |
| 8062s | available we saw penguin Sun you know |
| 8064s | playing with those murlocs having that |
| 8066s | enhance-o-matic uh Quest |
| 8069s | and it is going to be that tunnel |
| 8071s | Blaster picked up and held |
| 8073s | for probably that reason maybe maybe |
| 8077s | another reason but you know |
| 8086s | okay pretty nice tunnel glass today |
| 8092s | oh and I heard that Vigo |
| 8096s | who was the one who lethaled Rogue jeans |
| 8100s | we were talking about finding direction |
| 8102s | he may have found his Direction |
| 8104s | and |
| 8106s | unfortunately kernako the other person |
| 8109s | grappling for that top Force hard with |
| 8111s | five points with Vigo |
| 8115s | is not gonna die right because it's just |
| 8119s | sexy yeah at one health check season |
| 8121s | five oh man actually does still have a |
| 8124s | chance one Health is all you need and |
| 8127s | here's the AG instead of has a full |
| 8129s | refund board those gems |
| 8132s | just coming into hand oh |
| 8136s | the neck relay does a huge pickup we're |
| 8138s | gonna see a huge cleave all of a sudden |
| 8141s | and I wonder |
| 8143s | do you even keep the agum here |
| 8147s | it's the weakest unit on board and I |
| 8149s | have to imagine |
| 8151s | there's a lot of stats on the Shaker |
| 8154s | unless it was buffed with a ball of |
| 8156s | minions oh yeah |
| 8158s | I can't lose that's unlikely can't lose |
| 8161s | the prophet of the bori the cannula it's |
| 8163s | so strong with the quest as well |
| 8168s | yeah extraordinarily strong especially |
| 8171s | with the setup |
| 8175s | obviously wants to get out of this road |
| 8177s | board and okay it does bite the bullet |
| 8179s | sells the Shaker gonna |
| 8183s | oh if I put the egg in as much as |
| 8184s | possible before playing this necrolyte |
| 8186s | bringing up that road Boris face here is |
| 8189s | a big big deal though |
| 8193s | as uh it's one of those units that as |
| 8196s | the rest of the boards get bigger it's |
| 8199s | gonna get harder and harder to uh |
| 8202s | warrant of Wave Riders so clutch here |
| 8206s | yeah oh when it hits aggravating the |
| 8209s | great board that's |
| 8211s | more stance |
| 8213s | vehicle's gonna have a cycle spot in the |
| 8216s | road board we'll just play through the |
| 8217s | Wave Rider here for the turn but that |
| 8219s | road we're gonna be the cycle spot |
| 8222s | uh is that hey Megan's gonna eat up |
| 8225s | again bus gonna make those gems even |
| 8227s | more stats in that full Reaper is huge |
| 8230s | will it be enough I'm assuming we're |
| 8232s | gonna see some Divine still twists and |
| 8233s | I'm totally wrong it's a full Mech board |
| 8238s | good one |
| 8241s | it's very good the Omega booster goes |
| 8244s | down there's two kangars |
| 8247s | oh okay it's like quarter cleat but the |
| 8250s | tank goes down oh we need to see the |
| 8253s | deflector getting re-uh reactivated |
| 8255s | we'll get recess we'll get some gems on |
| 8258s | the road board |
| 8260s | nice little consolation |
| 8266s | there's still three resets left let's go |
| 8269s | down to the ball of minions but it's oh |
| 8271s | no that's another one goes down |
| 8274s | okay the corner cleave that's not the |
| 8276s | end of the world of us but but we lose |
| 8279s | the first one that's got to be |
| 8285s | it will be awesome just severely goes |
| 8288s | down on some unfortunate Hits video on |
| 8291s | the patchwork making magic work |
| 8294s | wow that Eventide route we saw it scale |
| 8298s | so fast so early in Vigo stays at 60 |
| 8302s | Health who needs the bonus |
| 8307s | determined to make it into the finals |
| 8309s | tomorrow |
| 8310s | right and so find a sun Beacon relaxer |
| 8313s | that's a huge pickup |
| 8315s | we now have Max 7K I think very much |
| 8319s | likely to get through penguins and I |
| 8320s | think guaranteed as well it's really |
| 8321s | just ruching and whether or not he will |
| 8324s | be able to hang on to that last fourth |
| 8326s | place spot I think it needs to be a |
| 8328s | third for current Echo uh or |
| 8332s | a Vigo in order to be able to get |
| 8334s | through and Vigo looks like he's very |
| 8336s | very likely to do so |
| 8340s | and we have our barrows blessing here |
| 8342s | match up between HD and sexy shaxxy with |
| 8346s | the double theater setup ends on a |
| 8349s | walking forward uh could potentially |
| 8352s | cycle for some more stats here gonna be |
| 8354s | matched up against XD who |
| 8357s | ah |
| 8360s | used his golden Hammer on his mama bear |
| 8364s | uh I thought maybe he would go for the |
| 8367s | coiler |
| 8368s | but right it's not to |
| 8373s | yeah I guess just trying to get more |
| 8374s | value out of the death rattles on this |
| 8376s | turn |
| 8377s | yeah and |
| 8379s | the problem is only one minted Queen to |
| 8382s | be able to deal with these stats and |
| 8383s | unfortunately with hit position first |
| 8386s | it's gonna run in |
| 8388s | to the theaters |
| 8395s | lucky for XD it might not be a lethal |
| 8397s | but I had to think that it's shaxi here |
| 8400s | in the combat |
| 8401s | it's looking very likely I mean it is |
| 8404s | that kind of precarious position where |
| 8406s | all of your chances are weighted on the |
| 8408s | three big minions rather than a |
| 8410s | unilaterally Big Board which can |
| 8412s | obviously go wrong with coiler if that |
| 8414s | gets you Leroy's out of the uh the death |
| 8416s | rattles as well uh but the majority of |
| 8419s | the time I do like sexy's position |
| 8421s | oh yeah it doesn't get the full coil or |
| 8424s | something like you said rio burner now |
| 8427s | might have been ambitious with so many |
| 8429s | summons on the board for XD the hyena is |
| 8432s | enough to take out that deflector with |
| 8435s | that last summon and uh so XT will stay |
| 8439s | alive into the top three here so and |
| 8442s | nice comeback performance for XT but |
| 8445s | he's gonna be up against Vigo who seems |
| 8448s | nearly Unstoppable |
| 8450s | and I think kareneka they're going out |
| 8453s | in both means he walks away uh with four |
| 8458s | points right that puts him at nine which |
| 8460s | is just one behind uh Rogan at the end |
| 8464s | of the running and so even the Rogue |
| 8465s | Gene will be guaranteed to go out to the |
| 8467s | ego uh it means the uh current Echo is |
| 8470s | unable to uh clutch out that spot |
| 8473s | himself |
| 8475s | yeah and unfortunately it was so close |
| 8477s | living at Warren Health had their dream |
| 8480s | still there |
| 8482s | and |
| 8483s | there's an interesting package of |
| 8487s | minions in the shop Divine Shield wind |
| 8490s | Fury |
| 8490s | uh available and obviously a huge faux |
| 8493s | Reaper on the board |
| 8496s | to pick up that wind Fury and then |
| 8498s | obviously the potential to uh and then |
| 8501s | that glow scale for the next few turns |
| 8504s | um you know getting a shield this turn |
| 8506s | and next turn considering whether or not |
| 8508s | he wants to play through |
| 8510s | uh I don't know if Vigo knows that he's |
| 8513s | guaranteed through or not but you know |
| 8517s | getting the extra gems now not not bad |
| 8520s | obviously man it really is just so weird |
| 8524s | seeing a late game potentially Lobby |
| 8528s | winning board that still has profit of |
| 8531s | the ball on board and it's like Loki one |
| 8533s | of the best Minions that he has uh left |
| 8536s | in his comp it's such I I'd call you the |
| 8539s | prophet of the board as uh I'm sorry I |
| 8542s | had to uh you brought it up and here it |
| 8544s | is winning games so you know a perfect |
| 8546s | example we saw one player pass it and |
| 8549s | another ticket of you know knowing |
| 8552s | exactly the right situation to pick it |
| 8553s | up ixton's Manta does get that Shield |
| 8556s | adapt and it does take out the phone |
| 8558s | Reaper but oh come on that pack getting |
| 8561s | sniped just a little bit early takes up |
| 8564s | so much value |
| 8570s | I have a little bit I mean it's like |
| 8574s | three leroys here right for that speed |
| 8575s | shots yeah something like that |
| 8579s | um I've seen it happen but it doesn't |
| 8581s | look like it's happening here |
| 8583s | uh and so with that with the damage on |
| 8586s | vigo's board Dixie is gonna go down and |
| 8589s | I'm just enrolled with vigo's play I |
| 8592s | mean how to win on Patchwork profit of |
| 8596s | the boar I I can't express how amazing |
| 8600s | these players are to be able to make |
| 8602s | something like that happen you know this |
| 8605s | isn't something that you'd call a Hyrule |
| 8606s | right this is oh no you worked for |
| 8609s | absolutely uh not over yet though as |
| 8613s | shaksi is the last remaining player to |
| 8616s | stand up against vigo's dominance uh so |
| 8619s | far in this final game of the lobby |
| 8621s | Leroy is a very welcome site to have uh |
| 8625s | against vigo's board uh but I gotta say |
| 8629s | while this scaling has been good it |
| 8631s | feels like it's just maybe a little bit |
| 8633s | behind what the Vigo has been able to |
| 8635s | accrue |
| 8637s | yeah the cleave the unit that really |
| 8641s | really prevents a pretty scary outcome |
| 8643s | she actually was able to pick up a LeRoy |
| 8646s | however right that could be the |
| 8648s | Difference Maker here there is still a |
| 8650s | couple stats to be cycled through oh the |
| 8655s | Mantic Queen like we said |
| 8657s | you know the end game concept of this |
| 8661s | double theater is being able to end on |
| 8664s | Tech slots right and we see a selfless |
| 8667s | hero we see manted Queen we see Leroy |
| 8669s | all coming into play here |
| 8672s | in their shop since taxi is really |
| 8674s | considering what he wants to do there's |
| 8676s | a lot of turns left this is really |
| 8678s | difficult Shaq Sees at 2008 Health Vigo |
| 8681s | notably adds 60 health so it's not gonna |
| 8683s | be a one fight outcome so you don't |
| 8686s | really want to get rid of these theaters |
| 8688s | just yet |
| 8690s | but how you know how do you go about |
| 8692s | this here |
| 8695s | decides to get rid of the selfless to |
| 8697s | ended and we'll use those gems to uh |
| 8702s | pump up the leeway out of tunnel Blaster |
| 8704s | range |
| 8714s | in unfortunately not getting value out |
| 8716s | of the Manta Queen with that lyric |
| 8718s | getting cleaved as well right but look |
| 8721s | at this it's gonna be a tie it's |
| 8724s | actually a tie oh my goodness |
| 8727s | man is this the game that takes us to |
| 8729s | turn 19 just because he's got 60 health |
| 8732s | so even if he does lose it's going to |
| 8734s | take like three losses to actually end |
| 8736s | it I wasn't even thinking about that but |
| 8738s | I think it is another puzzle box checked |
| 8741s | off for me let's go |
| 8745s | but yeah look at the I mean look how |
| 8747s | much this profit of the board is |
| 8748s | actually doing though two gems the Razer |
| 8751s | fan zoom into getting cycled just |
| 8753s | picking up every possible quiver because |
| 8756s | it's so much value |
| 8759s | oh man these are and actually difficult |
| 8763s | choices here yeah oh Leroy |
| 8766s | and a glow skill that's super strong the |
| 8769s | bristleback Knight obviously would have |
| 8771s | provided a few extra jumps but not the |
| 8772s | utility uh that the glow scale will hear |
| 8776s | so do you think it is the positioning |
| 8778s | should change it given that he now knows |
| 8780s | there's like a Leroy and a probably |
| 8782s | taunted mounted on the other side should |
| 8785s | the uh faux Reaper still attack first |
| 8788s | yeah I mean that's really tough that's |
| 8790s | one of the spots where when you module |
| 8793s | that for giving it taunt it's so |
| 8795s | susceptible to getting Lyrid itself that |
| 8798s | you're kind of forced into the situation |
| 8801s | of having it you know it's probably not |
| 8803s | going to be optimal one way or another |
| 8805s | it'll be suboptimal we see actually |
| 8807s | leading with the Libre this time around |
| 8809s | and it's also interesting that we saw |
| 8813s | video take that glow skill and I think |
| 8815s | the reason is like you said we're |
| 8817s | looking at a few more turns here |
| 8819s | and so that glow CL is providing value |
| 8822s | over two turns versus the leeway likely |
| 8825s | only providing value this turn actually |
| 8827s | opting to hero power here is uh IQR is |
| 8830s | going to be providing quite a few stats |
| 8832s | at this point |
| 8843s | survive the Leroy and it doesn't matter |
| 8847s | actually it actually doesn't matter yeah |
| 8849s | it's still able to take the win but it's |
| 8851s | Gucci brought it up because I mean |
| 8853s | without that like |
| 8855s | well there would have been more of a win |
| 8856s | but I mean it would have been even |
| 8857s | closer to lethal uh on that turn from |
| 8859s | Vigo potentially |
| 8862s | yeah absolutely and a huge shop there |
| 8866s | four neutral minions |
| 8869s | true yeah yeah |
| 8871s | potentially gonna be cycled I wonder if |
| 8875s | it's worth it I mean the scaling is such |
| 8879s | a weird spot |
| 8881s | what else would we be looking for is it |
| 8882s | like just Leroy and manted |
| 8886s | foreign |
| 8888s | yeah I mean selfless hero definitely an |
| 8892s | option as well but |
| 8895s | there's not a ton else |
| 8898s | um |
| 8899s | white man can be interesting as a tech |
| 8902s | like game in certain scenarios but here |
| 8904s | without the combo pieces video is not |
| 8907s | going to be super susceptible to it uh |
| 8910s | it looks like shaxxy's just gonna |
| 8912s | prioritize stats and because of that |
| 8914s | we'll likely see this Uther taken |
| 8916s | buffing the Leroy |
| 8918s | [Music] |
| 8918s | um |
| 8921s | and potentially ending on the tunnel |
| 8924s | Blaster with only one shield on his own |
| 8926s | board |
| 8927s | but he's got one more role he could |
| 8929s | potentially fit in first and like still |
| 8932s | be able to buy it but yeah I guess here |
| 8933s | are power plus the tunnel Blaster makes |
| 8937s | yeah it depends I mean you do have the |
| 8939s | role you could also cycle the brand here |
| 8942s | uh but it's yeah it's not easy decision |
| 8946s | either way |
| 8948s | I'll lead with the tunnel Blaster yeah |
| 8951s | torn in position one as well because |
| 8953s | then there's a chance that the bow |
| 8955s | Reaper could attack into the taunt and |
| 8957s | end up hitting the Leroy not gonna end |
| 8959s | up being the case here though |
| 8962s | as losing those taunts there is actually |
| 8964s | pretty big |
| 8968s | we'll die to the poison |
| 8971s | oh it's a slight loss |
| 8984s | I still think he can maybe do it |
| 8990s | are you close here |
| 8994s | the prophet of the boy is going this is |
| 8996s | just it sounds crazy but it's keeping up |
| 8998s | with double theator right obviously has |
| 9001s | an agomegan and an ago on board as well |
| 9004s | but you know that is actually the |
| 9007s | scaling engine and yeah just goes to |
| 9010s | show shaxxy also at a really tough spot |
| 9012s | because what do you sell the tunnel |
| 9015s | Blaster feels so important but if you're |
| 9018s | not scaling these three units |
| 9022s | are you gonna have a chance ARA are you |
| 9025s | tempted by a taunted Leroy does that do |
| 9028s | anything to help this situation fish |
| 9029s | actually |
| 9030s | yeah I mean I think it does because I |
| 9032s | think cutting down on the taunts is |
| 9036s | pretty good and it looks like he's |
| 9038s | eyeing a reset selling a theater and I |
| 9041s | really like the idea the other option is |
| 9044s | not taunting it |
| 9046s | um and potentially still cycling through |
| 9049s | perhaps the stoneborne if that's the |
| 9051s | case |
| 9053s | uh to to be able to better play around |
| 9056s | the cleave right and let the Leroy just |
| 9058s | get cleaved |
| 9062s | oh no blood gems though he is a poison |
| 9065s | though |
| 9066s | so demanded might change |
| 9070s | how he plays this but yeah we'll just |
| 9072s | take the reset in |
| 9073s | oh interesting so really |
| 9077s | gonna use just gonna |
| 9080s | not worry about the furry for at all uh |
| 9083s | the men and summons will be the clean |
| 9085s | protect uh but because it doesn't have |
| 9087s | enough |
| 9089s | oh it's huge oh that's such a it's a |
| 9092s | really big hit the shield doesn't come |
| 9094s | to the poison so the Poison's still |
| 9097s | oh no it's not enough it was so close I |
| 9101s | mean if you consider how big those |
| 9102s | Sports were five health and 28 Hells |
| 9105s | were remaining it but Rio doesn't take |
| 9107s | damage |
| 9109s | did take four armor off but a 6 = 60 how |
| 9113s | to win on Patchwork |
| 9115s | [Music] |
| 9118s | yeah I just |
| 9121s | the spiciest of pretzel of pretzel |
| 9124s | mustard there right in order to end not |
| 9126s | just on 40 I'll put on 60 60 is very |
| 9130s | impressive and with such a cool game |
| 9131s | right such a unique approach to the game |
| 9133s | that both you and I really couldn't |
| 9135s | believe he was going for at the time I |
| 9137s | thought it was basically just settling |
| 9138s | for a fourth or third place to try and |
| 9140s | just squeeze through into that top four |
| 9142s | uh but he does it in an incredible |
| 9144s | display taking that very early Tempo |
| 9147s | triple into a three cost that ended up |
| 9150s | being the winning play |
| 9152s | it was so I I am in disbelief I the |
| 9156s | foresight was amazing the planing and |
| 9160s | keeping it the whole way through |
| 9161s | recognizing exactly how strong it was uh |
| 9165s | cycling |
| 9166s | every Cold War until the end |
| 9170s | when he needed the win to advance to the |
| 9173s | top four you know doing it in style like |
| 9176s | I said I mean look at that stylish pose |
| 9178s | I believed in the pose all along never |
| 9181s | had any doubt and uh Vigo just |
| 9185s | making me feel good about it |
| 9189s | making me feel all kinds of ways uh huge |
| 9192s | congratulations to him as I well we know |
| 9195s | that guarantees him was put into top |
| 9196s | four after a finish there given that he |
| 9198s | was on Five Points beforehand shaksi as |
| 9200s | well I think able to hold on to his spot |
| 9203s | uh whereas for uh down on the bottom end |
| 9209s | sorry now Rogan finishing in eighth |
| 9211s | place I do believe that that takes him |
| 9213s | out of contention for day two |
| 9216s | unfortunately yeah and that's such a |
| 9219s | tough spot you were in you know like you |
| 9221s | said there was a clear Separation on |
| 9223s | that horse but and just not able to get |
| 9226s | it done in that third game and that is |
| 9229s | the the intensity that we see with the |
| 9233s | precursor to that check format whereas |
| 9236s | that check format you're never out here |
| 9238s | you can have those ups and downs you can |
| 9241s | have that bad game and it can come out |
| 9244s | of nowhere and and that's tough and |
| 9246s | whether or not you can recover whether |
| 9248s | you can be ahead and keep of your foot |
| 9250s | on the gas you know that's that's the |
| 9252s | tough stuff and sometimes sometimes it |
| 9254s | just comes down to uh |
| 9256s | The Tavern not having the minions you |
| 9258s | need |
| 9260s | and that you have it a final leaderboard |
| 9264s | a final standings for Lobby a with the |
| 9267s | top four sexy penguinsan Max 7K and Vigo |
| 9272s | all going through to tomorrow whereas |
| 9274s | Rogue Jean is an absolute Heartbreaker |
| 9277s | finishing in exactly eighth is going to |
| 9279s | be our first player not to make it |
| 9281s | through and then down kuraneku and it's |
| 9284s | the having slightly better games this |
| 9286s | time uh but for Kirsten here just really |
| 9289s | unable to get off the ground at all |
| 9290s | nothing happening in for him today |
| 9293s | it happens |
| 9295s | it is so tough I mean I talked to |
| 9297s | Kirsten before the tournament and this |
| 9299s | was his first time making it he's you |
| 9301s | know had a lot of heartbreaks already |
| 9303s | finally making it to the finals and then |
| 9306s | it is just such a hard spot XT also in |
| 9311s | his first appearance here I believe and |
| 9313s | you know it it doesn't feel good to go |
| 9316s | out you know we highlight these high |
| 9318s | level players but you know a huge shout |
| 9320s | out to the players like you said earlier |
| 9322s | even making it through the grueling |
| 9324s | qualifiers you know even being ranked in |
| 9328s | the leader was to make it to the |
| 9329s | qualified these players are amazing and |
| 9332s | the fact that you know they couldn't get |
| 9334s | it done in just three games is you know |
| 9336s | not an indictment on their skill but |
| 9338s | rather uh |
| 9340s | just how Wild this game can be |
| 9343s | um they both played really well some |
| 9345s | tough breaks in there but we'll uh |
| 9349s | hopefully see them on top sooner rather |
| 9351s | than later |
| 9353s | that's right yeah it's uh tough when |
| 9355s | you're up against such strong opponents |
| 9357s | like sexy penguins at Max 70 and Vigo |
| 9360s | who we will be seeing tomorrow but now I |
| 9362s | need to find out who the rest of those |
| 9364s | four players going through or it will be |
| 9367s | so when we come back from this break uh |
| 9370s | Lobby B will begin and we'll see the |
| 9372s | rest of the action for today from lovely |

| 9998s | welcome back everyone to Lobby Legends |
| 10000s | winter Veil I hope you enjoyed all the |
| 10003s | action in lobby a I know I am most |
| 10005s | certainly did but I really don't think |
| 10008s | things are going to be slowing down at |
| 10009s | all because Lobby B I think is if |
| 10012s | anything even more stacked than what we |
| 10015s | had in a Lobby a |
| 10023s | uh I can't hear Pocky is that my fault |
| 10025s | oh no no it's on me okay I'm sorry I am |
| 10028s | super excited |
| 10030s | um |
| 10031s | the players in lobby VR absolutely |
| 10033s | stacked and a lot of them are known for |
| 10035s | high APM play really exciting the high |
| 10040s | octane stuff so I'm hoping that we get |
| 10042s | to see the action that is at least as |
| 10045s | good as lavier because slavier was good |
| 10047s | it's gonna be hard to live up to those |
| 10049s | games those are fantastic |
| 10051s | no exactly yeah we had some really good |
| 10053s | plays uh some very lucky outcomes as |
| 10056s | well I will say for some of our players |
| 10058s | uh early everyone is awesome very |
| 10059s | unlucky outcomes as well as is often the |
| 10061s | case uh with uh Battlegrounds and how it |
| 10064s | can work out but Lobby b as we get to |
| 10067s | take a good look at who we have here I |
| 10071s | mean there's some obvious names that I |
| 10072s | think we know a little bit more from |
| 10074s | their streams in the English-speaking |
| 10077s | community in like Zork and Jay Carrick |
| 10079s | for example uh but who are some of the |
| 10080s | maybe less well-known players as I said |
| 10083s | to the English speakers uh not to say |
| 10085s | that I mean less accomplished |
| 10088s | right so zorg and Jake obviously friends |
| 10090s | I'll be rooting for them of course but |
| 10091s | IG sword is one of the five players from |
| 10096s | the China region that qualified to all |
| 10099s | of the qualifiers we've seen him before |
| 10101s | he's known for like that really |
| 10103s | aggressive gameplay and we saw in uh |
| 10106s | some of the previous Lobby Legends how |
| 10108s | good he can be in the right situations |
| 10110s | uh joggans say |
| 10113s | uh Korean player who also we've seen him |
| 10117s | in some of the previous Lobby Legends so |
| 10119s | not completely unfamiliar with him but |
| 10121s | that high |
| 10123s | pirate APM master in the Korea region |
| 10127s | and then sliders also |
| 10129s | um you know obviously Europe we kind of |
| 10131s | associate with being part of the |
| 10132s | English-speaking Community but the |
| 10134s | French Community has a vibrant |
| 10136s | competitive scene and we saw Rogan in |
| 10140s | the last Lobby not quite able to make it |
| 10142s | but a lot of these French players on |
| 10145s | their French scene are super super good |
| 10147s | at tournaments and we saw sliders |
| 10149s | actually besides Max savinki has the |
| 10152s | highest previous Lobby Legends finish |
| 10154s | getting third so I keep an eye out on |
| 10157s | all of them zanyang |
| 10160s | uh from Korea Sarah and say hello from |
| 10163s | China I'm less familiar with but I'm |
| 10166s | excited to see their game play today |
| 10169s | I think it's no surprise for both of us |
| 10171s | there is an overlap in IG sword I think |
| 10173s | he is just |
| 10175s | wrong players over the entirety of |
| 10178s | Battlegrounds or of Lobby Legends uh |
| 10180s | specifically and then as you said slide |
| 10182s | is getting a third place last time I |
| 10184s | wanted to pick him and zorg I'm just a |
| 10186s | big fan of so I wanted to include him in |
| 10188s | my lineup a few Jay Carrick and Jack and |
| 10191s | say any particular reason why you're |
| 10193s | backing them in your fantasy team yeah I |
| 10195s | mean dragon say from the previous |
| 10196s | performances in Jay Carrick I had to |
| 10198s | give a special shout out because we've |
| 10200s | won twitch Rivals together on the same |
| 10202s | team we're in a current league that |
| 10204s | we're playing in the playoffs for |
| 10206s | together he's a master of you know Duos |
| 10210s | and four-player Battlegrounds super good |
| 10213s | at reading boards and just I know how he |
| 10215s | plays so well that I had to you know put |
| 10218s | my faith in him for the fantasy pigs and |
| 10220s | I gotta say the first one my picks were |
| 10223s | penguin Saxy and uh |
| 10227s | uh Vigo and they they all made it |
| 10229s | through so I'm looking forward to see |
| 10231s | storage and character and say I'll do it |
| 10233s | so as well |
| 10235s | I mean I've kind of given up on any |
| 10237s | chance of keeping up in terms of points |
| 10239s | I'm just here for the ride at this point |
| 10241s | uh but hopefully uh my guys can do well |
| 10244s | uh here especially zorg as of course I |
| 10246s | predicted that he would get more points |
| 10248s | than uh XD at the end of the day uh but |
| 10252s | uh we'll be cool to see uh some |
| 10254s | different strategies coming through in |
| 10257s | the remainder of the tournament uh am I |
| 10260s | right in saying that uh compared to how |
| 10262s | much or how powerful murlocs are or at |
| 10265s | the very least how much people complain |
| 10267s | about murlocs uh when they're playing |
| 10269s | games of Battlegrounds they've seemed a |
| 10271s | little bit underwhelming so far in this |
| 10273s | tournament |
| 10274s | I think you hit on it in the it's |
| 10277s | something that maybe is complaining |
| 10279s | about a little bit more than is |
| 10282s | warranted they are very strong right but |
| 10286s | the access to poison is more of an idea |
| 10290s | rather than something that we see all |
| 10292s | the time right you can outstat Miralax |
| 10294s | you can play around with shields and |
| 10297s | Leroy's and you know different texts |
| 10300s | like Cleaves we've seen be very |
| 10302s | impactful and so you know they are we |
| 10304s | tell those things they don't have as |
| 10306s | much utility available and so unless |
| 10308s | you're getting very certain setups or |
| 10311s | able to buff the stats sort of out of |
| 10312s | control right we saw Rogue gene on the |
| 10314s | floor goal almost had an option to get |
| 10316s | there right had that Han show ready to |
| 10318s | build up the health on those murlocs but |
| 10320s | just couldn't turn the corner when there |
| 10322s | was too much Tempo |
| 10324s | um available for all the rest of the |
| 10326s | players for him to keep up with |
| 10329s | it will be interesting to see obviously |
| 10330s | depending on the quest what other minion |
| 10334s | types are presented in the uh |
| 10337s | the lobby as well as you said Mexican |
| 10339s | wreak havoc with any kind of Mech |
| 10342s | strategy uh that you can see go for uh |
| 10347s | but we've talked a little bit about the |
| 10348s | the kind of Heroes uh that I'm looking |
| 10350s | to see are there any uh particular |
| 10353s | Heroes that you haven't seen do too well |
| 10355s | so far the either you're fond of or you |
| 10357s | think are really at the the top of the |
| 10360s | priority in terms of picks these two |
| 10363s | Heroes that we haven't seen yet that I |
| 10365s | am particularly fond of and I would love |
| 10367s | to see these players take a crack at |
| 10369s | them one being test test is a very |
| 10372s | interesting hero a high armor total but |
| 10375s | very Dynamic gameplay and if you have |
| 10378s | that sort of understanding of how our |
| 10381s | game is going to play out you can really |
| 10382s | take it up a notch and then the other |
| 10385s | hero Master win I oh yeah I love that |
| 10389s | hero the panda is the most fun hero in |
| 10392s | the game for me My Stream obviously has |
| 10394s | a lot of panda themed elements so I'm a |
| 10396s | little bit biased but it's exactly |
| 10397s | exactly the kind of gameplay that I love |
| 10400s | being able to make that decision every |
| 10402s | turn of what hero power is going to be |
| 10403s | most useful for you and |
| 10406s | just those decisions so many decisions |
| 10409s | is where I want to see these players |
| 10411s | shine because trying to break down what |
| 10414s | they're thinking how they're making |
| 10415s | these decisions is what I want to go for |
| 10418s | so hopefully we'll see one of the |
| 10420s | players pick them up for me and you know |
| 10423s | selfishly and I |
| 10427s | repeat here haven't yet right it's been |
| 10430s | all different here so far I don't think |
| 10432s | so no I'm trying to think uh run through |
| 10434s | what has been there was a gallywix win |
| 10436s | right uh uh the previous one was uh |
| 10440s | Patchwork the unexpected Patchwork win |
| 10442s | yeah |
| 10444s | and uh I think penguin Sun had a win in |
| 10447s | the first game but I don't recall the |
| 10448s | hero off the top of my head but uh |
| 10451s | yeah I can't quite remember |
| 10453s | but it'd be interesting to see uh in |
| 10455s | terms of the other puzzle box picks what |
| 10458s | do you think needs to happen for a game |
| 10460s | to go longer than 18 turns like what are |
| 10463s | the specific things that haven't |
| 10464s | occurred that can lead a game to go that |
| 10466s | long |
| 10467s | yeah I mean we've seen like the two |
| 10469s | scenarios that you'd think would be |
| 10471s | those scenarios right we saw a game |
| 10474s | where no one was lethaled by turn 12 and |
| 10477s | so the game just accelerated so fast |
| 10480s | that we saw a lot of uh Destiny quickly |
| 10483s | and then we saw a game with an extended |
| 10485s | 1v1 with a lot of Health but |
| 10488s | um Vega was just a little bit too far |
| 10490s | ahead in the scaling Department the big |
| 10493s | thing that could really turn the |
| 10495s | difference the last scenario is where |
| 10496s | you have a top two or top three |
| 10498s | situation with a lot of tie potential so |
| 10501s | low Health lots of poison where it's not |
| 10503s | going to come down to Value trades right |
| 10505s | where stats aren't the determining |
| 10507s | Factor but it's rather about the number |
| 10509s | of hits is how a lot of players talk |
| 10511s | about it with how many Shields how many |
| 10513s | poisons are you going to have that trade |
| 10515s | off a minion and so if you have a lot of |
| 10517s | those if those hits equal out you get a |
| 10520s | tie and uh then you don't need to worry |
| 10522s | about how much health you have you can |
| 10523s | keep going for as long as you want so |
| 10525s | that's what it'll take get to turn in |
| 10528s | 19. we'll see if it happens |
| 10532s | yeah I'm still feeling good about my |
| 10533s | choice to say uh no so far uh it just |
| 10537s | hasn't even felt close like so many of |
| 10539s | our players have just been going as we |
| 10540s | talked about a little bit more at the |
| 10542s | start so heavily in on these high Tempo |
| 10545s | starts uh even to the point where again |
| 10548s | as we've talked about so many times Vigo |
| 10550s | going for a triple into turn three there |
| 10553s | and all these very high priority |
| 10556s | um |
| 10556s | X coming in earlier on but I guess the |
| 10560s | the kind of the one minion type that we |
| 10562s | haven't seen at all really prioritized |
| 10565s | so far has been dragons which obviously |
| 10568s | have been in a bit of a weird spot for a |
| 10570s | good while now given that it doesn't |
| 10572s | really feel like their late game scaling |
| 10575s | is quite strong enough at this point in |
| 10578s | the game uh with uh kaligos being not |
| 10582s | quite strong enough but how is there |
| 10583s | recently shaken up mid-game fairing for |
| 10586s | you is that something that players could |
| 10587s | be prioritizing if the cards fall in the |
| 10589s | right way |
| 10590s | yeah occasionally it really depends on |
| 10593s | the quest I feel like |
| 10594s | um like you said calligraphs as a |
| 10596s | scaling engine is a little bit |
| 10597s | lackluster and it's really hard unit to |
| 10599s | balance because nadina exists right if |
| 10601s | you make it too strong |
| 10603s | the ability of you know those dragons to |
| 10606s | have Medina to have things |
| 10608s | um like atromedes that can pop other |
| 10611s | Shields you have to be very careful with |
| 10613s | how much scaling you allow them |
| 10616s | but if you get the right setup sometimes |
| 10618s | teragosa builds can look really good |
| 10621s | um or even a situation where you have |
| 10625s | you know maybe a couple dragons like two |
| 10627s | dragons that you've scaled up with a |
| 10629s | theotar or something that just randomly |
| 10632s | gets big like a single tear ghost saying |
| 10634s | you can take in that nadina maybe have |
| 10637s | some poison ball of Minions that are |
| 10639s | getting Shield there and and you know |
| 10640s | hey that's a dragon Port right it'll |
| 10642s | read four dragons so we'll count it |
| 10645s | um but yeah it's definitely a difficult |
| 10647s | one and |
| 10648s | you know like you said a lot of these |
| 10650s | players are going for these safer lines |
| 10652s | right Tempo oriented and that's sort of |
| 10654s | that tournament meta that we talked |
| 10655s | about earlier coming into play right a |
| 10657s | lot of the psychology is hey I don't |
| 10659s | want to get myself into a bad situation |
| 10661s | there's not a huge premium for getting a |
| 10664s | first versus a second or third even a |
| 10667s | fourth sometimes right so I'll take |
| 10668s | volatile Venom I'll take a Smoking Gun |
| 10670s | just try and like get a good placement |
| 10673s | without doing anything too risky and |
| 10675s | right now dragons are a little risky |
| 10678s | just because they don't have a |
| 10679s | guaranteed end game scaling comp they |
| 10682s | can really keep up with everything else |
| 10684s | yeah I guess so is there any kind of new |
| 10688s | energies that have opened up with uh |
| 10691s | I mean what is eternally one of my |
| 10692s | favorite minions at work in um |
| 10696s | paragosa uh itself sorry not calicos |
| 10698s | taragosa uh with uh you know the |
| 10703s | uh some of the cars that can work |
| 10705s | outside of dragons in order to buff that |
| 10707s | up uh does that ever factor into your |
| 10709s | mid games at all do you find |
| 10711s | [Music] |
| 10712s | um |
| 10713s | and it's definitely |
| 10714s | [Music] |
| 10715s | definitely because you know stars |
| 10716s | aligning type thing where maybe Miralax |
| 10719s | aren't in you have a trickster that you |
| 10721s | have in Avenue to to buff up that unit |
| 10724s | right taunt it maybe if you can |
| 10726s | guarantee the bus onto the Tarik it can |
| 10729s | be that unit they can carry you through |
| 10731s | the mid game get you to the late game |
| 10733s | healthy and you can swap out maybe |
| 10735s | everything on your board except for a |
| 10737s | few minions and ending that sort of |
| 10740s | typical end game board that we see with |
| 10742s | you know maybe two mantis two leroys a |
| 10745s | selfless apparent and a really big |
| 10746s | taragoza you know it's it's very good at |
| 10749s | being that splashable Tech unit you can |
| 10751s | get shield on it with Amber Guardian |
| 10754s | with nadina with Southwest hero |
| 10756s | so there are a lot of ways to make it |
| 10758s | work |
| 10759s | um but it it's yeah definitely a |
| 10762s | circumstances thing where you need a few |
| 10765s | other things to line up too |
| 10768s | yeah I can see that but I always try and |
| 10770s | force it but yeah like you said when |
| 10772s | you're being sensible it does need a |
| 10773s | little bit of extra help in order to try |
| 10775s | and make it work uh as you may have been |
| 10777s | able to guess we are trying to fill time |
| 10779s | here as we get our players ready for the |
| 10782s | next Lobby uh but well uh we get that |
| 10786s | done we have just been told that we are |
| 10788s | gonna have to get a couple things sorted |
| 10791s | out so we are unfortunately gonna go to |
| 10792s | a quick break but don't go anywhere |
| 10793s | we'll be back very very shortly with |
| 10796s | everything ironed out everything ready |
| 10797s | to go for game one of Lobby B |

| 11000s | thank you |
| 11003s | welcome back everyone to |
| 11007s | fail right on the edge of getting into |
| 11010s | uh game one as I have been old uh but I |
| 11014s | guess in order to give us a little bit |
| 11016s | more of a rundown of our players poking |
| 11018s | out we do have a little bit more time uh |
| 11020s | is there anything else you can tell us |
| 11021s | about any of these players that our |
| 11023s | audience may not be aware of |
| 11026s | yeah so I mean zorgo has made it to the |
| 11030s | group stage before |
| 11032s | um jargon says actually uh the only |
| 11035s | player in group b that's made it to the |
| 11038s | final stage of Lobby Legends oh wow two |
| 11040s | times finishing in sixth in lobby Legend |
| 11043s | two uh didn't make it out of the group |
| 11045s | stage in lobby Legend three uh and then |
| 11048s | since then uh Lobby Legends five six |
| 11051s | seven and eight didn't make it out of |
| 11054s | the first round of qualifiers so going |
| 11056s | back with a vengeance in the last one |
| 11058s | wanting to uh prove that he belongs here |
| 11062s | um zorgo has |
| 11064s | also been in the last uh eight |
| 11069s | qualifiers so made it once but eight |
| 11072s | qualifiers is super strong |
| 11075s | um |
| 11077s | and then sword finished in |
| 11082s | the semifinals in lobby Legend seven so |
| 11085s | and then obviously sliders finishing |
| 11088s | third in the last one so those are |
| 11089s | repeat performers |
| 11091s | and I think that |
| 11094s | of them |
| 11096s | um I think zorgo is one that we can talk |
| 11099s | about a little bit more |
| 11101s | one of his best strengths is really |
| 11104s | knowing that |
| 11107s | first place board versus that second |
| 11110s | third board right knowing when you're |
| 11113s | gonna have that opportunity to get that |
| 11115s | win he's super good about that it's one |
| 11118s | of his best strengths |
| 11120s | and we'll see how he opts to play right |
| 11123s | if he plays for a more conservative |
| 11126s | style or if he plays for that more |
| 11128s | aggressive style in these games |
| 11130s | Jay Carrick I'm also very familiar with |
| 11132s | uh I want to keep an eye on his words to |
| 11136s | see how he makes the assessment one of |
| 11138s | the things in team play Battlegrounds |
| 11139s | which we don't see in lobby Legends but |
| 11141s | it's a popular format for a lot of |
| 11144s | tournaments we've seen some Duos |
| 11145s | tournaments in the past and even some of |
| 11147s | the invitationals have had some team |
| 11149s | play |
| 11150s | is being able to read opponent spores |
| 11153s | live right so much like that uh barov's |
| 11156s | blessing matchup where you're looking at |
| 11158s | this matchup and saying who's gonna win |
| 11160s | stronger in team play when you're |
| 11161s | playing your teammate you have to |
| 11163s | facilitate ties and that's just this |
| 11166s | completely other skill set that not all |
| 11170s | players have but what it does is it |
| 11171s | really helps you get a feel for how |
| 11174s | strong your own board is right and how |
| 11176s | much you can maybe say oh I'm a little |
| 11179s | bit weaker but I think I can still Level |
| 11182s | right because I know kind of an idea of |
| 11184s | what my opponent's gonna have |
| 11186s | and if you can play exactly on that edge |
| 11190s | that's how you eke out these small |
| 11192s | advantages that these players are |
| 11193s | working with right this isn't like |
| 11195s | ladder for them where they're gonna have |
| 11198s | an advantage over just about every |
| 11200s | player they're playing against these are |
| 11202s | the top top top players on the ladder so |
| 11206s | they're not playing even matchups but in |
| 11208s | lobby Legends when |
| 11210s | everyone's on that equal footing those |
| 11213s | small advantages make a big difference |
| 11215s | right if you're able to level that turn |
| 11217s | early if you're able to skip maybe one |
| 11219s | Battle Cry that you know a lot of |
| 11221s | players just like hey I see a jug I'm |
| 11223s | like that's a lot of stats I'm gonna |
| 11224s | take that but yeah yeah you know if it's |
| 11226s | not gonna be worth it for you three |
| 11228s | turns down the line you're like well I'm |
| 11230s | not gonna keep these units in three |
| 11231s | turns and I don't need those stats right |
| 11234s | now I'm not going to pick it up in those |
| 11235s | three roles |
| 11237s | those can be a difference right and |
| 11240s | that's the sort of bell curve of |
| 11242s | advancing in Battlegrounds where |
| 11245s | a lot of times what they tell you is oh |
| 11247s | they tell you to get into the game and |
| 11249s | play |
| 11251s | and that's what we'll do here is zorg |
| 11254s | uh picks up zephyrus |
| 11258s | he does indeed and we're gonna see a |
| 11260s | panda |
| 11261s | oh finally is it happening |
| 11267s | it is it's gonna be zon young uh zanyang |
| 11271s | a Korean player who's been in the |
| 11273s | qualifiers four times but just finally |
| 11275s | making it through to this final stage |
| 11277s | gonna pick up Master win for game one |
| 11282s | we also see a test uh out of Sarah I |
| 11286s | believe I'm pretty sure that's a test |
| 11288s | and it's the new winter Veil skin I |
| 11291s | think and I'm also a fan of that |
| 11294s | all your wildest dreams coming true |
| 11297s | pervade you know talking about foresight |
| 11300s | I'm I'm killing it today |
| 11304s | um can I take a an irrelevant hero bar |
| 11307s | turn one in oh my goodness oh Sarah's |
| 11310s | smile is Sarah has found a triple on the |
| 11313s | Alley Cat already |
| 11315s | oh |
| 11316s | it's beautiful the grin says everything |
| 11322s | and this is going to be interesting I I |
| 11324s | hope that we can uh |
| 11326s | check where Sarah takes this triple |
| 11328s | because one of the things I personally |
| 11330s | like to do on test and I play it way |
| 11332s | more than I should is take those lower |
| 11334s | tier triples much like we saw Vigo do |
| 11337s | you get to maintain your health in your |
| 11340s | late game directions often determined by |
| 11342s | when you hear about who you're stealing |
| 11344s | a directional unit but someone worked |
| 11346s | really hard to get you don't need to |
| 11348s | work so hard you just need to stay |
| 11349s | healthy to get to that point |
| 11351s | um |
| 11352s | so we see Sarah leveling here playing a |
| 11355s | standard curve makes a lot of sense |
| 11356s | we'll see sliders also leveling |
| 11360s | and we see of course uh sword double |
| 11364s | leveling here on turns one and two as is |
| 11366s | your uh |
| 11368s | as you're able to do uh with bazile uh |
| 11371s | is that something that happens for you |
| 11373s | every game that you're playing missile |
| 11374s | or is there ever a shop that could |
| 11376s | potentially persuade you uh to not |
| 11378s | leveling again on turn two |
| 11380s | yeah premium two drops can definitely do |
| 11384s | it if you want a hero power you do end |
| 11387s | up saving Health a lot of times if they |
| 11389s | are good teardrops but in general I do |
| 11393s | lean towards leveling aggressively |
| 11395s | because |
| 11397s | in the way that we said it's kind of |
| 11398s | about maximizing your advantages right |
| 11400s | and Lich B is best at leveling very |
| 11405s | quickly before anyone else even can and |
| 11407s | so maximizing that Advantage sort of |
| 11409s | does dictate that you do want to level |
| 11411s | early |
| 11413s | all right let's take a peep at those uh |
| 11417s | three drops |
| 11421s | I can say |
| 11424s | I wonder so this is a really really |
| 11428s | Niche situation but there are situations |
| 11432s | where players have held on to the |
| 11436s | discovers until turn four to wait till |
| 11439s | they see their Quest and have the quest |
| 11442s | dictate some of those decisions it |
| 11443s | doesn't look like that's going to be the |
| 11444s | case here |
| 11446s | um but we saw dragon say waiting a bit |
| 11448s | to make that decision I wonder if he was |
| 11450s | considering it |
| 11458s | okay |
| 11465s | yeah |
| 11466s | last minute decision making there gonna |
| 11470s | have enough to |
| 11473s | deal with this Rat King Board also a |
| 11476s | hero we don't see too frequently and AFK |
| 11478s | will get the win |
| 11481s | I believe we're going taking a little |
| 11482s | bit of damage from zorgo's zephyrus |
| 11485s | yeah that Sarah took a uh three drop yes |
| 11488s | wow it is a test pretty spicy |
| 11493s | I'm gonna be kind of sad because that |
| 11495s | was a lot about a lot of Battle Cry |
| 11497s | Minions that have already been played uh |
| 11500s | with devil in the details now offered |
| 11503s | indeed demons are in so teal tiger |
| 11506s | Sapphire and devils in the details have |
| 11508s | a little bit uh more upside but yeah |
| 11512s | walking forward |
| 11514s | just by far uh well I should say gassing |
| 11517s | mask just by far the most upside of |
| 11519s | those quests |
| 11521s | um so I'm not surprised to see that |
| 11523s | picked up |
| 11528s | now on the bazile seeing if he can coop |
| 11532s | some of that lost Tempo and I mean at |
| 11536s | the moment not really right this is |
| 11538s | looking a little underwhelming |
| 11540s | well the big benefit here is that with |
| 11542s | that Catherine it here on board that |
| 11544s | hero power is free and that's Kathy's |
| 11546s | gonna be on board for a long time |
| 11549s | and so we're gonna see |
| 11552s | sword maybe kind of running away with |
| 11556s | this early game just having a free extra |
| 11558s | two gold per turn and then picking up |
| 11560s | this bird buddy for tempo |
| 11562s | yeah that's a big turn |
| 11565s | oh and we do have a wisdom ball Quest |
| 11567s | here |
| 11570s | do you know what hero this is |
| 11575s | uh uh no I'm gonna be honest |
| 11579s | I would have said okay if uh that hadn't |
| 11581s | obviously been about that hadn't not |
| 11583s | been it |
| 11585s | yeah I'm not totally sure but we'll see |
| 11588s | in a moment uh once that hero power |
| 11589s | refreshes uh a couple of players leaning |
| 11592s | into the leapfrogger comp leapers also |
| 11595s | one of those fan favorite comps Zorro |
| 11598s | with a pair on board uh say hello just |
| 11600s | with that in the sewer rep but a hyena |
| 11603s | getting buffed up will mean that these |
| 11605s | players |
| 11607s | take a tie here |
| 11609s | so I'll go at 48 very early |
| 11612s | oh it's cookie okay |
| 11616s | so we'll likely be looking at a discover |
| 11618s | next turn into a four drop |
| 11626s | another Beast I guess but there's really |
| 11627s | not much |
| 11629s | more or less I guess Quest progression |
| 11632s | it's just yeah just the upside of the |
| 11633s | quest progression and oh jakirk has his |
| 11635s | sixth drop here available offered a |
| 11638s | golden a gas color and a man to Queen |
| 11639s | obviously minted Queen is a little bit |
| 11642s | early uh golden a little bit more |
| 11644s | directional coiler strong at all stages |
| 11646s | but mechs and demons are in which means |
| 11649s | that death rattle pool is a little bit |
| 11651s | diluted from those beasts from coiler |
| 11655s | was oh clearly a couple of beasts in |
| 11657s | play already so I mean maybe you do just |
| 11660s | go Goldring and try and roll into a |
| 11663s | power once you're on uh Tavern tier |
| 11665s | three maybe triple into a baron later on |
| 11668s | instead |
| 11671s | um I think since it does look like it's |
| 11673s | just that tabby cat yeah is the pickup |
| 11677s | yeah if there was s'more and The |
| 11680s | Cauldron presented a little bit more |
| 11682s | Tempo it's definitely a line that you |
| 11684s | can take but here it is just kind of the |
| 11687s | highest Tempo line so the common theme |
| 11689s | that we're seeing and wow speaking of uh |
| 11692s | yeah more more leapfroggers easily |
| 11696s | Parkers buffing a double sore list here |
| 11706s | very high Tempo early game units |
| 11709s | hey why pick a golden generates it done |
| 11713s | I think exactly it's it's just so easy |
| 11718s | all right is zorg going to hero power |
| 11722s | here able to sell both tokens if he |
| 11724s | wants to Triple into a five a lot of |
| 11726s | good Beast options on five as well as |
| 11729s | Baron sort of the linchpin of the |
| 11731s | leapfrogger comp and here it is it hits |
| 11735s | the bearing |
| 11736s | immediately picks up |
| 11738s | oh my god oh and he's got his quests |
| 11742s | already it's an impersonal this is |
| 11746s | disgusting oh |
| 11749s | and now I get it I mean one hit is nice |
| 11752s | but hitting everything like that |
| 11756s | the stars are aligning for zorgo for |
| 11758s | leap Frogger |
| 11760s | to take a center stage |
| 11763s | and sometimes the Bee Gees gods they |
| 11766s | just deliver they just give you |
| 11767s | everything your heart ever dreamed of |
| 11769s | now here's a curious situation we've |
| 11773s | seen a ton of players playing for |
| 11774s | Frogger is Sir going to recognize this |
| 11777s | thing maybe |
| 11778s | kind of play into it |
| 11780s | I actually did hero power here |
| 11784s | uh but it looks like it's gonna be for |
| 11786s | the Catherine it here maybe to buff the |
| 11790s | big Furno |
| 11791s | well uh explain what you mean by playing |
| 11793s | into uh lead progress here what can he |
| 11796s | do with that information if everyone |
| 11797s | else is going for it |
| 11801s | there's going for it if you are able to |
| 11804s | steal dominions from their board you can |
| 11807s | make a better loot progress comp than |
| 11809s | they can because you're so consistently |
| 11811s | getting matchups into the same sort of |
| 11813s | comp so what we generally see with Tess |
| 11816s | is she's stronger in sort of tier zero |
| 11819s | metas right where there's just a |
| 11821s | dominant comp right whether it's demons |
| 11823s | or beasts |
| 11825s | you know when they're all strong and |
| 11827s | more players are playing into them Tess |
| 11829s | does better because you have multiple |
| 11831s | players you can match up into you can |
| 11833s | get quality hero Powers off on |
| 11836s | since we've seen I think three players |
| 11838s | playing for fathers |
| 11840s | if she's able to Hero part of those |
| 11843s | Froggers we can see or you know not have |
| 11845s | to roll into a baron she just has to |
| 11846s | face his orgo it kills Baron I spoke a |
| 11850s | triple leaper really easy everyone's |
| 11852s | gonna have service you don't need to |
| 11853s | worry about hitting everyone's done it |
| 11854s | for you you just take all their hard |
| 11856s | work and reap the rewards |
| 11859s | feeling so confident in his game he |
| 11861s | doesn't even feel the need to turn up uh |
| 11864s | to even play his hand as he's just |
| 11866s | walking away uh from his desk halfway |
| 11869s | through the turn yeah finds the tide for |
| 11872s | the Frogger has a couple uh Beast death |
| 11875s | threat is already kind of bored |
| 11879s | but what what's next for him is he gonna |
| 11881s | prioritize leveling to try and get like |
| 11883s | that golden Baron or there's some more |
| 11886s | uh immediate priority Minions that zorgo |
| 11889s | needs |
| 11890s | I think given his situation he probably |
| 11895s | will level |
| 11897s | he has a really good setup so the |
| 11900s | minions he's looking for just in general |
| 11902s | are going to be macaw more summons |
| 11904s | reborn and then potentially something |
| 11906s | like a mama bear because uh what Mama |
| 11909s | Bear does is it allows you to play |
| 11910s | around some of the texts that can |
| 11912s | threaten you |
| 11914s | um |
| 11915s | like a tunnel blaster |
| 11917s | so |
| 11919s | with so few things you're looking for |
| 11921s | and two of them being five drops they |
| 11924s | wouldn't surprise me to uh to see that |
| 11926s | level and especially on zephyrus being |
| 11928s | able to hit just one extra Baron means |
| 11930s | you have access to Golden Baron |
| 11933s | and uh that's when Froggers get very |
| 11936s | very hard to beat |
| 11939s | you see their prick |
| 11941s | pretty powerful looking board yeah has |
| 11944s | Alter Ego active |
| 11948s | up against these Snicker snacks Panda |
| 11953s | you took a Toki here apart this turn has |
| 11956s | a lot of attack on the units but not a |
| 11958s | lot of Health which means that coiler is |
| 11960s | going to be enough to uh bring up that |
| 11962s | board and we might see a lot of damage |
| 11964s | coming out here if that minion uh ball |
| 11966s | of minions doesn't die |
| 11968s | yeah it's gonna be 10 damage |
| 11972s | in two sonyang's Panda down to 22 say |
| 11976s | hello down to 12. very early on the |
| 11979s | cookie |
| 11983s | oh and Jake with an option to pick up an |
| 11986s | Amber Guardian |
| 11989s | I mean that seems really tempting right |
| 11991s | oh wow he's leveling I was gonna say it |
| 11993s | felt a little greedy to just leveling |
| 11996s | here instead when you have like so many |
| 11998s | weak minions you want to be replacing |
| 12000s | with your gold on this turn |
| 12001s | uh but I guess but it's still a pretty |
| 12003s | substantial upgrade right yeah he's |
| 12006s | actually leveling because of the tempo |
| 12008s | that he picked up knowing that he's |
| 12010s | strong picking up the Amber Guardian |
| 12012s | selling out of the smaller Dragon |
| 12013s | guaranteeing that Shield onto a Higher |
| 12015s | value unit and then with that extra gold |
| 12017s | being able to sell and uh pick up that |
| 12020s | buffed up Catherine at tier making the |
| 12023s | most out of that alter Eco pickup and we |
| 12025s | see again just so many Beast boards |
| 12029s | yeah some decently High Tempo there as |
| 12031s | well |
| 12033s | lighters to be able to try and stabilize |
| 12037s | um with the crocolisk |
| 12041s | I can say on AFK dribbling into a five |
| 12044s | and not really hitting has some demons |
| 12047s | overboard has some beasts on board |
| 12049s | finding a lightfing holy metal in kingos |
| 12052s | is triple options Snicker sticks the |
| 12055s | quest so |
| 12057s | it seems like those picky eaters might |
| 12059s | stick around for a little bit Yeah but |
| 12064s | I guess you go for the light Fang here |
| 12066s | but you're not happy about it with only |
| 12068s | two types on board |
| 12071s | and what |
| 12074s | my goodness |
| 12076s | so remember how I said sword could be |
| 12080s | running away just because of the |
| 12082s | Catherine it here early this is exactly |
| 12085s | what happens the extra gold is insane |
| 12087s | and not only is this a fell bat with |
| 12091s | some very strong demons there's a teal |
| 12093s | tiger Sapphire Quest available for short |
| 12095s | hair oh that's so sick |
| 12098s | he's just gonna be lethaling people left |
| 12100s | and right |
| 12102s | I mean this is an easy 50 in these dude |
| 12104s | right |
| 12106s | it should be there's just too many stats |
| 12108s | the taunts even you know protecting the |
| 12112s | fell back from getting hit and |
| 12116s | yeah |
| 12117s | Hess does have that Gastly mess |
| 12120s | triggered now |
| 12125s | yeah I'm not really sure how well that |
| 12127s | fact is |
| 12129s | saving racing we're gonna see a lethal |
| 12133s | here on turn eight say hello |
| 12137s | not the wondrous wisdom ball game he was |
| 12140s | hoping for |
| 12142s | just takes a single rat of damage but at |
| 12146s | one Health wasn't able to survive |
| 12149s | Juan ratsworth |
| 12153s | it's a it's a common common you know |
| 12156s | unit of measurement |
| 12157s | um where I'm from but really it's that |
| 12160s | Imperial |
| 12161s | an imperial degree you know I've always |
| 12164s | been a fan of the metric system because |
| 12165s | I heard you guys you know it's not as |
| 12167s | common so you don't you don't count by |
| 12170s | rats |
| 12171s | reborn coil are available but uh |
| 12174s | opposite pass it up it is a lot of stats |
| 12176s | to buy any units at this point because |
| 12179s | it cost you rolls and all those rules |
| 12182s | are a lot of sets with the fell bet |
| 12185s | so we're considering picking up another |
| 12187s | demon in the |
| 12189s | void load but does opt to pass it going |
| 12193s | to grab another triple with the Elise |
| 12196s | maximize |
| 12197s | hey actually a semi difficult choice for |
| 12202s | a moment because obviously that Mama can |
| 12205s | triple into another velvet but just |
| 12208s | taking the guaranteed second fell back |
| 12210s | here taking almost all the rules it |
| 12214s | seems like |
| 12216s | um yeah I'm not gonna sell the Medina |
| 12219s | just yet but will end up selling out of |
| 12221s | the Elise probably next turn right yeah |
| 12224s | I mean the fell back here obviously the |
| 12225s | unfortunate |
| 12227s | I'm only really giving you one extra uh |
| 12229s | Chomp uh right there's too many beasts |
| 12232s | demons oh sorry they're still super |
| 12234s | super strong like the amount of stats |
| 12235s | yeah that one extra Trump is only 13-13 |
| 12239s | right all right gradual 13-13 Bob |
| 12242s | um on turn nine we look at these other |
| 12245s | words they just pale in comparison |
| 12249s | all right |
| 12251s | [Applause] |
| 12253s | and we'll see it's it's more a matter of |
| 12256s | how much damage you can take off because |
| 12258s | damage cap isn't active and now speaking |
| 12262s | of rats these rats are gonna be a |
| 12264s | hindrance to uh |
| 12268s | damage because they're just gonna cause |
| 12270s | these in moments to get more summons in |
| 12272s | I think that is illegal is it in fact |
| 12274s | illegal oh my God it's like way over |
| 12276s | very clear 43 damage on turn nine |
| 12283s | swords running away with this game zorgo |
| 12286s | with the Loopers does have a chance |
| 12288s | against anyone has theater's parasol |
| 12291s | yeah one of the best questions maybe the |
| 12295s | best quest in this situation because you |
| 12297s | don't really need stolen gold or that |
| 12299s | golden minion as much because again you |
| 12300s | have zephyr's hero bar to back you up |
| 12302s | yeah |
| 12304s | and I think that's kind of where we're |
| 12305s | at right it does feel like Zogo is the |
| 12308s | only player who could potentially stand |
| 12310s | up uh |
| 12313s | who sword at this point in the game |
| 12317s | like this just doesn't even scratch him |
| 12322s | yeah and it's |
| 12324s | I mean it's a lot of stats it's double |
| 12328s | walking for it with double velvet so |
| 12332s | there is it's good |
| 12335s | stuff there |
| 12337s | um and it has the potential to sort of |
| 12340s | be okay |
| 12342s | against zorgo's board but it's getting |
| 12345s | close right obviously it doesn't have |
| 12347s | the teal tiger Sapphire stats to back it |
| 12350s | up |
| 12351s | um so the eats are much smaller |
| 12353s | especially kind of being stuck on tier |
| 12355s | four not really wanting to level though |
| 12357s | we might see a level here okay no gonna |
| 12361s | pick up another taunt for the uh walking |
| 12363s | fort |
| 12366s | looking at his sex drops and being like |
| 12368s | yes these all equal one reroll I'll take |
| 12371s | any of these engaged yeah uh |
| 12375s | finds a |
| 12377s | very premium unit in the ball of minions |
| 12379s | uh |
| 12381s | able to Shield that ball of minions and |
| 12384s | did have that golden fell back |
| 12387s | they're so strong |
| 12390s | and I don't how do you feel about these |
| 12393s | games because I I understand they're |
| 12395s | maybe not the most fun but I kind of |
| 12398s | like watching them because it's like a |
| 12399s | raid boss right like we all know |
| 12401s | everyone's just trying to beat sword and |
| 12404s | you get a look at the boards and see how |
| 12406s | they snack up and I mean zargas the |
| 12409s | other one where he's really not in that |
| 12412s | battle position and he's got 35 health |
| 12414s | health is so big in these situations |
| 12417s | because it gives you time to try and |
| 12419s | find text Miralax are in so |
| 12421s | the stats available for everyone |
| 12425s | you know they can get extremely high |
| 12427s | yeah you can see people tempered out |
| 12429s | earlier but you know in game |
| 12432s | you know demons don't have a ton of |
| 12435s | utility |
| 12436s | and so between the leapers |
| 12439s | as options or maybe you know one of our |
| 12442s | other players is able to put together |
| 12443s | some poison yeah it's not impossible for |
| 12447s | sword to be taken down oh not at all |
| 12449s | yeah like if sword is the uh the right |
| 12452s | boss in this instance Sarah is the |
| 12455s | halfway boss of the dungeon the minibus |
| 12457s | that uh is gonna test the skill uh of |
| 12463s | sorry of zorgo here to see whether or |
| 12464s | not he's ready to face the ultra boss |
| 12467s | and in this instance it looks like he is |
| 12470s | the leapers are just about big enough to |
| 12472s | get the job done here |
| 12474s | yeah and |
| 12476s | unfortunately for Sarah with that great |
| 12480s | token Stone it's probably gonna be too |
| 12484s | much damage |
| 12486s | is |
| 12488s | all right five yeah oh my goodness so |
| 12493s | exactly one |
| 12495s | yeah just barely surviving |
| 12500s | and yeah that's huge zanyang goes down |
| 12503s | to two Jake here down to five Jog and |
| 12505s | stay down to five |
| 12507s | they're here for Sarah he's gonna be up |
| 12509s | against sword on the next turn and you |
| 12511s | have to imagine that's gonna be two uh |
| 12513s | too big of a ward for him to be able to |
| 12515s | play it back again so a miracle needed |
| 12517s | for him to survive but here for our |
| 12519s | barob's blessing where you at home can |
| 12521s | predict if you are watching on Twitch |
| 12523s | who you think is going to win for |
| 12525s | Imaginary internet points uh and for |
| 12528s | Dragon say here usually I'd be saying |
| 12531s | he's looking fantastic right High Health |
| 12533s | minions lots of poison as well but |
| 12536s | there's a lot of repeating value here a |
| 12538s | lot of death rattles and Reborns for |
| 12540s | zanyang to complicate things |
| 12547s | um yeah I think zanyang's probably got |
| 12550s | it there's just the one high Health |
| 12553s | minion but zanyang has a golden tank to |
| 12557s | deal with all that Health on that unit |
| 12559s | meanwhile those summons to take out |
| 12561s | those poisons look pretty good for me |
| 12564s | uh but zanyang kind of trying to think |
| 12567s | about the positioning which I can say |
| 12569s | has |
| 12571s | a discover here into a six and it's not |
| 12573s | a bad one at all |
| 12575s | it will happily take the mounted |
| 12578s | especially as |
| 12579s | the remaining Primal fin Scout is also |
| 12583s | going to get poisonous right thanks to |
| 12585s | Young murkai so it's potentially five |
| 12588s | poisonous minions uh on this term |
| 12593s | I think that I still have to go inside |
| 12595s | here on this one |
| 12597s | yeah we'll take lamented there's a few |
| 12600s | adapts a couple demons dragon and some |
| 12602s | murlocs but it's uh it's gonna be a |
| 12604s | tough matchup and they're both so low |
| 12609s | dead |
| 12611s | those fights are going to be final |
| 12614s | fights for these players unless |
| 12618s | some lucky hits the tank is exposed if |
| 12621s | it gets sniped early it'll be disastrous |
| 12630s | okay it's not a terrible hit for Sonia |
| 12635s | yeah so far the hits are pretty good the |
| 12640s | goal I'm getting good value as well it's |
| 12642s | the poison well that's big but all |
| 12644s | poisons left the shield does get popped |
| 12647s | the coilers reborn here's the summons |
| 12649s | what are we gonna see oh yeah |
| 12657s | yeah definitely if that tank gets tanked |
| 12660s | early that is a completely different |
| 12662s | situation |
| 12679s | okay sorted just taking down every |
| 12682s | single person that he goes up against |
| 12688s | and currently showing no signs of slop |
| 12690s | of stopping I mean it's it's as I said |
| 12692s | it really does just feel like it's going |
| 12694s | to be the brute force of the size of |
| 12698s | these demons from sword up against the |
| 12700s | leapers from zorg and everyone else is |
| 12703s | just uh ants at the feet of these two |
| 12706s | Gods |
| 12707s | yeah so we're gonna attack in double |
| 12710s | poison here taking advantage of the |
| 12712s | typhoon merkai interaction |
| 12715s | hasn't been able to find that Baron pair |
| 12719s | yet |
| 12720s | so a little bit unlucky there |
| 12722s | and because of that a little bit |
| 12725s | concerned that his lever setup isn't |
| 12727s | enough doesn't have any macaws on board |
| 12731s | um doesn't have Reborns on the rats so |
| 12734s | hopefully the poisons will be enough to |
| 12736s | turn the tides in his favor but if not |
| 12739s | he's got 35 Health to work with he can |
| 12742s | make a full transition with that Baron |
| 12745s | into Divine Shield poison which has the |
| 12747s | cool utility of having that Baron super |
| 12750s | buffed up and uh not able to get sniped |
| 12758s | and oh sword might be overlooking |
| 12762s | something |
| 12763s | taunt is great |
| 12766s | however if you taunt the last unit oh |
| 12770s | true |
| 12771s | um zorgo has the atars aerosol that unit |
| 12773s | is still |
| 12775s | and the taunt basically doesn't exist |
| 12777s | not getting any weight mean value here |
| 12781s | kind of a disaster yeah and he'll |
| 12785s | probably notice now |
| 12788s | the oversight |
| 12790s | but luckily for him he might still be |
| 12794s | fine because the stance |
| 12795s | way too much |
| 12799s | um |
| 12801s | and again without that sort of |
| 12802s | Zephyrhills exponential scaling with the |
| 12805s | macaw |
| 12807s | it's it's not gonna be enough and the |
| 12809s | difference between their boards so it |
| 12812s | has 24 Health a little bit less but |
| 12814s | doesn't have damage I've put sword |
| 12816s | absolutely does there's six drops on the |
| 12819s | board five drops four drops just all |
| 12823s | high tier damage units and that 35 |
| 12825s | Health could disappear very quickly for |
| 12828s | zorgo down to it 14 already so he takes |
| 12831s | 21. |
| 12832s | he's got one turn basically here here to |
| 12835s | hit uh Rats the parrot as you said uh |
| 12839s | anyway to just get some more of those |
| 12840s | death rattles going maybe a golden |
| 12842s | theater sorry a golden Baron as well is |
| 12844s | the other big hit |
| 12846s | and Scion ends up matching up into sword |
| 12850s | here |
| 12858s | gotta match up the iron Visage ending |
| 12860s | particularly well for him |
| 12862s | it is so Leroy yeah I mean |
| 12870s | requisite selling out of the kangaroos |
| 12872s | kind of feels bad because it was your |
| 12875s | one pair available but I think |
| 12878s | everything kind of feels bad at this |
| 12880s | point |
| 12883s | um |
| 12884s | just not a ton of options for zanyang |
| 12887s | and I'm sure he kind of recognizes it |
| 12889s | too |
| 12889s | is probably gonna be pretty happy with |
| 12892s | kind of a mishmash board taking a third |
| 12894s | here in game one |
| 12896s | it's not bad right you didn't have a |
| 12899s | fantastic sticker snacks game you didn't |
| 12901s | have anything super compelling |
| 12904s | and you know you dodge the High Roller |
| 12906s | long enough or survived enough hits that |
| 12909s | you know the top three |
| 12911s | pretty satisfactory |
| 12915s | oh yeah you're very happy with this |
| 12919s | uh sword potentially grabbing some |
| 12921s | menaces to play Down onto |
| 12924s | the Restriction all of minions |
| 12927s | opening with some Cleaves just to take |
| 12929s | out things like I don't know a taunted |
| 12932s | Leroy uh you know in any other text |
| 12935s | though it would also be enough to clear |
| 12937s | out the toxin take a Reborns so just |
| 12941s | playing very very safe sword knows he |
| 12944s | has enough stats to back it up |
| 12946s | um |
| 12947s | it's just |
| 12949s | you know but what are your loss |
| 12952s | conditions right what are we playing |
| 12953s | around for our loss conditions and uh |
| 12955s | with two small clues or just a very very |
| 12958s | good job of playing around them |
| 12961s | and funnily enough here these are five |
| 12965s | it does yeah but uh |
| 12969s | the zaps here are just kind of working |
| 12971s | actively against zanya uh giving this |
| 12974s | yeah I'm gonna keep getting bigger and |
| 12975s | bigger |
| 12978s | so yeah despite despite his best efforts |
| 12982s | is anyong uh you know just it's a couple |
| 12985s | hundred stats short but uh it was a good |
| 12988s | effort right |
| 12990s | um and it was a good play by sword to |
| 12993s | again play around these lost conditions |
| 12995s | um it's really big not even getting any |
| 12997s | that's just that's just cruel you know |
| 13001s | at least at least let me pray for some |
| 13002s | lyrics oh my God this is disgusting as |
| 13006s | the game goes on his board's getting |
| 13008s | bigger not smaller uh and you you look |
| 13011s | at that board and you're like isn't that |
| 13012s | what you started with yeah |
| 13016s | well zanyang decisively definitively |
| 13019s | extremely Dead uh with that punch coming |
| 13022s | through from so and a really interesting |
| 13025s | decision oh wait a second so Virgo it |
| 13029s | the exact right moment may have hit what |
| 13032s | he needs he needed to hit the stuff to |
| 13035s | go into full leapers right the poisons |
| 13037s | weren't going to be enough there weren't |
| 13038s | selflessness and he finds the baron pair |
| 13041s | but it's in a really awkward spot |
| 13044s | he's gonna have to sell three if he |
| 13046s | wants the gold gold in it he could sell |
| 13049s | the poison he can sell the reborn and he |
| 13051s | could sell one of these sewer rats yeah |
| 13054s | he would much though the macaw |
| 13058s | the problem is if swords still has those |
| 13060s | cleats on board |
| 13062s | gonna be very difficult but I think he |
| 13064s | has to play for the upside |
| 13067s | you ever I don't know if this is insane |
| 13069s | but do you ever ditch the idea of golden |
| 13071s | Baron and just like pick up the rat in |
| 13073s | the shop because it just feels to me |
| 13075s | like he doesn't have enough death |
| 13077s | rattles bouncing to make this work true |
| 13081s | but I think you do have to go for the |
| 13083s | golden Baron because of how |
| 13085s | much it amplifies |
| 13088s | the potential okay fair enough |
| 13092s | but he I mean look he's considering it |
| 13094s | right like that wasn't an easy decision |
| 13099s | and I don't the clues are scaring me I |
| 13103s | don't know if zorgo's Gonna Know |
| 13105s | to clear protect with this faux Reaper |
| 13109s | we'll put it in between the leaper and |
| 13111s | the power yeah and he puts it first |
| 13118s | or it wanted to be I'll tell you that |
| 13121s | and I hate |
| 13124s | don't even |
| 13125s | think there's a hit |
| 13129s | well if it is it's not that one |
| 13133s | yeah not at all more please |
| 13137s | I'm gonna ruin any dreams but it was so |
| 13141s | long shot zorgo can't be too sad he had |
| 13143s | a very very clean path to the second |
| 13145s | place |
| 13147s | um |
| 13149s | you know hey if you're not the raid boss |
| 13152s | but you're the the halfway boss you're |
| 13154s | still a boss in my eyes |
| 13156s | it's still technically a boss |
| 13159s | um yeah and you see how big that lasso |
| 13163s | rack got right like yeah yeah you just |
| 13166s | needed a little bit more and in fact if |
| 13169s | he did protect around the Cleveland |
| 13171s | maybe got lucky on that second cleavage |
| 13173s | there was a tiny tiny chance but of |
| 13176s | course zorgo can't possibly know |
| 13180s | um that sort of detecting all those |
| 13182s | clips three Cleaves on that final board |
| 13186s | he had a huge turnaround uh what a huge |
| 13189s | turn up for sword uh again just a very |
| 13191s | well played game I think it's fair to |
| 13193s | say with uh that uh pick of the Brazil |
| 13196s | early on very aggressive leveling as you |
| 13198s | laid out is very often the correct way |
| 13200s | to do to go about it and then you know |
| 13203s | realistically from there the game plan |
| 13204s | was kind of set out because he just hit |
| 13206s | Catherine it's here and did stuff and |
| 13209s | that stuff was good |
| 13211s | yeah I mean one of the things that I |
| 13214s | talk about you know you have a lot of |
| 13215s | players coming in saying oh I just I'm |
| 13217s | unlucky uh everyone else is High rolling |
| 13220s | right sword leveled bright early and it |
| 13224s | opens himself up for the possibility of |
| 13226s | that Hyrule and he's thoroughly half |
| 13227s | minute here hits the early levels just |
| 13231s | for free and uh that's what sets up that |
| 13234s | Hyrule firm and he's able to capitalize |
| 13236s | you know has his win conditions set up |
| 13239s | very early and then spends the latter |
| 13241s | half of the game you know protecting |
| 13242s | against has lost conditions and uh with |
| 13244s | that you know it has basically a perfect |
| 13247s | game in my eyes there |
| 13251s | currently feels that way with how things |
| 13254s | shaken up now say hello right down at |
| 13256s | the bottom with a rather unfortunate |
| 13258s | cookie game sliders Sarah and Jay |
| 13261s | Carrick not far behind Dragon says |
| 13266s | and sword up at the top but it's still |
| 13268s | early days here uh as oh yeah of course |
| 13271s | it was a triple elimination all in the |
| 13273s | same terms the dragon say Jay Carrick |
| 13275s | and Sarah all very much |
| 13278s | um still in the running but as we've |
| 13280s | seen you know at the end of game two in |
| 13282s | the previous Lobby there were two |
| 13284s | players already out of contention so |
| 13286s | sliders and say hello the pressure |
| 13289s | already very much on one more bad |
| 13291s | performance and they are simply out of |
| 13294s | contention |
| 13296s | yeah and that'll definitely be on their |
| 13297s | minds and uh it's something that is |
| 13300s | interesting to see and something that |
| 13302s | I've noticed you know is one of those |
| 13304s | Regional differences is some of these |
| 13306s | regions have a lot of competition |
| 13310s | um you know the Japanese players the |
| 13312s | French Community the Korean players all |
| 13314s | have a lot of local tournaments that you |
| 13316s | know might not be as publicized for our |
| 13319s | eyes but it helps them in these |
| 13322s | situations where the pressure's on and |
| 13324s | you have to maintain a stable |
| 13326s | even-keeled sense of composure right yes |
| 13330s | the pressure's on but you can't let that |
| 13331s | affect your decisions right you need to |
| 13333s | keep playing the game that you're so |
| 13335s | good at thank God you hear |
| 13337s | not change things up too much but also |
| 13340s | being cognizant of the fact that maybe |
| 13342s | you do need to change up your place a |
| 13344s | little bit right like an adjustment here |
| 13346s | or there to adapt to the fact that hey |
| 13349s | there's so many players doing just |
| 13352s | insane stuff maybe I need to take a few |
| 13355s | more risks or or less you know depending |
| 13358s | on you know how some of these outcomes |
| 13360s | are going in recognizing |
| 13362s | what's causing your losses or or you to |
| 13365s | lose some of those like maybe mid-game |
| 13366s | fights and change the complexion of how |
| 13368s | you're playing |
| 13370s | we'll have to see how our players do |
| 13371s | adapt as the tournament progresses two |
| 13374s | games left to come today so after this |
| 13377s | very short break we'll jump into the |
| 13379s | second game of Lobby B we'll see you |
| 13382s | then |
| 13383s | [Music] |
| 13402s | [Music] |
| 13408s | [Music] |
| 13413s | foreign |
| 13420s | [Music] |
| 13460s | thank you |
| 13463s | [Music] |
| 13495s | thank you |
| 13498s | [Music] |
| 13530s | thank you |
| 13533s | [Music] |
| 13584s | welcome back you are watching Lobby |
| 13586s | Legends winter Veil as we were going |
| 13588s | over at the start this is the last Lobby |
| 13590s | Legends of the year and so we have |
| 13592s | deemed it fit to double the prize pool |
| 13595s | for ornament so all of our players have |
| 13598s | even more incentive to fight to the |
| 13601s | absolute Bitter End if there's even a |
| 13603s | glimmer of possibility to get through to |
| 13606s | day two all of our players are going to |
| 13608s | take said Chance even if they are for |
| 13611s | example sliders or say hello right down |
| 13614s | at the bottom of the leaderboard with |
| 13615s | only one and zero points respectively or |
| 13619s | reverse respect to their current member |
| 13621s | order I read them out in uh but for both |
| 13623s | of those players uh it's looking Grim so |
| 13625s | it's going to be those All or Nothing |
| 13627s | strategies which uh for you in this meta |
| 13630s | game what are those very risky |
| 13632s | strategies what are these types of com |
| 13634s | compositions that you're wanting to go |
| 13636s | for that guarantee you a first place if |
| 13638s | you can hit them |
| 13640s | yeah I mean the big thing is hitting |
| 13641s | early scaling engines one thing that |
| 13643s | we've seen is in the past |
| 13646s | an Avenue that was open to players with |
| 13648s | sort of these combo boards right |
| 13650s | something like leapers but you know we |
| 13652s | saw like Mech Exodia a little bit more |
| 13654s | often we saw a pirate Exodia a little |
| 13655s | bit more often with the introduction of |
| 13657s | white man sort of providing a lot of |
| 13659s | disruption to those combo boards |
| 13661s | now you don't really have a ton of like |
| 13664s | high Tempo early options to disrupt |
| 13667s | someone that hits very early scaling |
| 13670s | direction right we saw sword you know |
| 13672s | leverage the fact that everything was |
| 13674s | happening two gold faster every turn |
| 13676s | with the Catherine interior with the |
| 13678s | Lich bazal and |
| 13681s | that is the Hyrule that's how you can |
| 13683s | win you just pick up so many stats early |
| 13687s | then no one can really compete and when |
| 13690s | you have that freedom the other thing |
| 13692s | that it does is it frees up time right |
| 13694s | you save health so you have more time in |
| 13696s | that regard and you have more gold |
| 13699s | because you don't need to invest as much |
| 13700s | gold into you know trying to survive |
| 13703s | this turn or that turn I had to Tech |
| 13704s | around the spot like no I just have |
| 13706s | stats that's fine I don't need to worry |
| 13707s | about it so you can pick up text and |
| 13710s | alternative units that are you know have |
| 13713s | more utility in the late game that gives |
| 13715s | you |
| 13716s | that uh ability to play around |
| 13719s | you know those lost conditions right and |
| 13722s | that's what secures those wins at the |
| 13725s | end |
| 13727s | that's true yeah and it'll be uh as we |
| 13730s | said uh interesting to see the players |
| 13732s | down at the bottom going for those very |
| 13733s | uh risky strategies trying to hit those |
| 13736s | scaling engines as you talked about |
| 13737s | players at the top though I think for IG |
| 13740s | sword and sword in particular |
| 13742s | gonna be seeing more of those tried true |
| 13745s | and tested strats to get the job done uh |
| 13750s | interesting Heroes actually Jailer and |
| 13752s | Hansa meccano both being relatively new |
| 13754s | I suppose in handsome Academy but Gail |
| 13758s | Wing feels like it's been picked with |
| 13759s | pretty high priority so far this weekend |
| 13763s | yeah going a pretty premium picks needle |
| 13766s | also an option uh in you know a lot of |
| 13770s | lobbies but I would expect a girl in |
| 13771s | here because it has access to secret |
| 13775s | thin Stone one of the best quests in the |
| 13778s | game so the heroes that have discoveries |
| 13780s | available can get the secret sin Stone |
| 13783s | Quest and that upside |
| 13786s | is kind of |
| 13788s | too much to pass up on a lot of those |
| 13790s | here so we saw |
| 13792s | say hello on cookie |
| 13794s | didn't quite hit but it's you know also |
| 13797s | one of those Heroes that is kind of |
| 13799s | premium in that regard |
| 13802s | okay |
| 13803s | uh has a very weird sport |
| 13806s | uh presented for say hello |
| 13809s | yeah a little bit of a bait triple right |
| 13811s | Varden Don grass able to copy minions |
| 13816s | it doesn't have the same wow factor that |
| 13819s | it might on other Heroes and so you'd |
| 13822s | rather just level find pairs of higher |
| 13824s | tier Heroes maybe even go three on three |
| 13827s | if you know this |
| 13830s | everything lines up and you know maybe |
| 13832s | another player is going three on three |
| 13834s | we'll see it's it's it's one of those |
| 13835s | things three on three is a very |
| 13837s | interesting oh that micrometer does oh |
| 13840s | wanna show up though |
| 13843s | but you know the more players that go |
| 13846s | three on three the more popular it |
| 13848s | becomes right because oh speaking of |
| 13851s | triples wow the Carrick with a very |
| 13854s | premium triple lined up |
| 13857s | yeah that we will be interesting to see |
| 13859s | where he takes it |
| 13865s | um a few heroes in the lobby very |
| 13867s | inclined to stay on one for a little bit |
| 13870s | we see Sarah on the Mill House zorgo on |
| 13873s | the Eudora in zanyang on the gallacron |
| 13876s | all wanting to stay down to utilize |
| 13877s | their hero power to the max |
| 13881s | and so we'll see how these matchups on |
| 13884s | turn three come out Jay Carrick will |
| 13886s | take this turn to match up against the |
| 13888s | gallowing doing just a little bit of |
| 13890s | Chunk damage that's that shell collector |
| 13893s | buffed by yog's hero power |
| 13895s | just enough to eat that sunbaking |
| 13897s | relaxer |
| 13907s | options here presented in JQ not happy |
| 13910s | about mini mermaid on head the worst |
| 13913s | unit of the four on the board will just |
| 13915s | have to take the shell collector and |
| 13917s | freeze gonna hold because uh my guess is |
| 13920s | he kind of just says |
| 13922s | oh actually I |
| 13925s | my guess is he saw that say hello did go |
| 13927s | three on three there you go |
| 13930s | and uh so won't need to play those units |
| 13932s | we'll have the benefit of being able to |
| 13935s | hold them for the quest turn as the |
| 13937s | Varden has nothing on board and Jake |
| 13939s | Herrick will surely have uh deduced that |
| 13945s | yeah I'm for Sarah just a very Milhouse |
| 13948s | kind of board right nothing naughty |
| 13950s | special so far |
| 13952s | yeah |
| 13955s | another test game so we'll see if we see |
| 13960s | any common comps arise this time around |
| 13965s | hopefully resulting in a better outcome |
| 13971s | up against test there are a few pairs on |
| 13973s | the board the test could consider but |
| 13976s | we're likely gonna just play normally |
| 13978s | and we see the quest selection turn here |
| 13980s | as Milhouse gets offered sinful |
| 13983s | Medallion which is a very interesting |
| 13986s | line pretty easy to complete as well |
| 13990s | having |
| 13991s | family minions attack 10 times is not |
| 13993s | too hard and that's going to be the |
| 13993s | pickup so Milhouse very happy to just |
| 13997s | cycle units |
| 13999s | thank you |
| 14001s | we'll pick it up say hello |
| 14004s | hey hello |
| 14006s | yeah and |
| 14009s | especially with varden's ability to set |
| 14012s | up Pairs and then afterwards triples |
| 14017s | um |
| 14018s | that wisdom ball can have great impact |
| 14020s | if you are able to hit you know a |
| 14022s | directional five and start copying it |
| 14025s | with the copy board role |
| 14031s | which I can say on the cartoon |
| 14034s | foreign |
| 14039s | don't know if we saw the Quest for that |
| 14041s | but again also evil especially with that |
| 14044s | gassing mask to Hyrule that Quest |
| 14047s | selection |
| 14054s | yeah another bad just kind of tempo |
| 14055s | start right now and I believe it was |
| 14058s | played demon or Max for the quest which |
| 14062s | is hey all of the shop right now so we |
| 14064s | could understand the freezer uh for |
| 14066s | Dragon City and the reward is Tiny |
| 14070s | henchmen uh I believe which again |
| 14072s | synergizes pretty well with this with |
| 14074s | just a nice Divine Shield |
| 14080s | yeah nice units to buff especially the |
| 14083s | top five |
| 14085s | um Jay Carrick did take the triple into |
| 14087s | a early four hitting yellowbound Archer |
| 14090s | and then take a small loss though |
| 14093s | despite the early triple |
| 14095s | zorgo that's a hero power into |
| 14099s | what I can |
| 14101s | a four question mark |
| 14104s | uh |
| 14113s | or are we gonna see him wait |
| 14116s | it looks like it'll be a a weight |
| 14119s | skipping your car this turned |
| 14121s | interesting to go for a five |
| 14124s | um I think I I mean maybe he even |
| 14128s | presses it to a six the fives are pretty |
| 14130s | interesting here so a lot of these |
| 14133s | triple decisions come down to what |
| 14136s | stronger directionally between five |
| 14138s | drops and six drops with these out |
| 14142s | that is a big you know option for fives |
| 14145s | because |
| 14146s | the Beast five drops are very strong |
| 14148s | directionally and in tempo |
| 14151s | but murlocs and Pirates are also at this |
| 14154s | time which means hogger bran |
| 14157s | less optimal on five so I'm curious |
| 14161s | where zorgo will take that hero power |
| 14165s | do you like it |
| 14167s | what the big six drops you would be |
| 14169s | looking |
| 14171s | well we saw how a strong fell back can |
| 14173s | be |
| 14174s | um in the last game uh earlier we were |
| 14177s | talking about Clone Wars the dark days |
| 14179s | of Elder is a very very strong pickup if |
| 14182s | you can get it early especially if you |
| 14183s | can get a couple of them going |
| 14188s | um otherwise |
| 14190s | you you can hit things like theotar |
| 14192s | which are just kind of like generically |
| 14194s | pretty good oh okay I don't know lining |
| 14198s | up another triple |
| 14201s | oh man he's creating it yeah he is going |
| 14204s | for the six |
| 14205s | so we might see zorgo pick up two sixes |
| 14207s | this is risky is that 26 and his board |
| 14211s | is undeniably weak yeah say hello was |
| 14215s | able to line up a triple and also has |
| 14217s | another |
| 14220s | smogger buff lined up grabs that Master |
| 14223s | of reality so we'll have a very strong |
| 14225s | early Tempo star on the Varden just very |
| 14228s | good because time is your friend as you |
| 14231s | can continue to roll for those triples |
| 14233s | if you have the strength to do so oh man |
| 14237s | are we a believer in this faceless |
| 14238s | disciple it's always so bad for me when |
| 14241s | I go for it |
| 14243s | [Music] |
| 14246s | my luck is not exactly what I want to |
| 14248s | hit but in the short term it's not the |
| 14251s | worst Tempo you're gonna get a kaboombot |
| 14253s | in a pup bot out yeah and uh you know |
| 14256s | you can maybe play into something |
| 14259s | I don't know I mean yeah it's sure it's |
| 14261s | not a turn six Nomi or something like |
| 14264s | that but it's a reasonable bit of tempo |
| 14265s | just to stabilize over these next turns |
| 14271s | yeah and |
| 14274s | we'll see what sliders board looks like |
| 14276s | on the test but that isn't really fired |
| 14279s | up in any of those early High teardrops |
| 14281s | you have to consider |
| 14283s | you know you're giving it to Tess as an |
| 14286s | option at least right Tess has the you |
| 14289s | know benefit of being able to say kangar |
| 14291s | is not good enough for me that being |
| 14294s | said cankers might very well be good |
| 14296s | enough for sliders having tank |
| 14299s | deflection of micro with me on the board |
| 14301s | that's a lot of stuff that came with |
| 14304s | this is a pretty synergistic with even |
| 14305s | the Poshmark getting a nice little boost |
| 14308s | of uh yeah sliders does decide to take |
| 14312s | the kangars |
| 14318s | although I do know that sometimes |
| 14320s | there's a little bit of a visual |
| 14321s | inconsistency to it |
| 14324s | um Jake here |
| 14325s | let's tie 's a tie |
| 14329s | oh and here's the sections here they |
| 14331s | come so we haven't felt bad as an option |
| 14333s | here murlocs are out so stats are going |
| 14335s | to be at a higher premium |
| 14337s | does it ever need to be though because |
| 14340s | you need an immediate like burst of |
| 14342s | stats I didn't see but he passed up |
| 14345s | Genie oh he has teal tiger sound figures |
| 14348s | Quest I was like that's a golden little |
| 14350s | rag |
| 14351s | okay the demons are the pickup I don't |
| 14354s | know what I was thinking |
| 14357s | um |
| 14359s | so like I said |
| 14361s | this is the crazy part though right this |
| 14364s | isn't guaranteed for zorgo he needs a |
| 14366s | couple turns to scale up |
| 14368s | and he's underneath damage cap |
| 14371s | going up into sword scaling who has the |
| 14373s | potential to be quite strong at this |
| 14375s | point luckily the aunt mama is a lot of |
| 14378s | tempo uh especially if it consumes that |
| 14381s | stoneborne if he was able to get up to |
| 14383s | 17 health |
| 14384s | I'm sure zargo would feel very safe |
| 14387s | but we look at swordsworth as he rolls |
| 14390s | into a triple he has ethereal evidence |
| 14392s | ready to go but will not get the effect |
| 14395s | of the quest until next turn so only |
| 14397s | just completed it this turn |
| 14400s | that's right you have hazards sword and |
| 14402s | uh |
| 14403s | dog they need to turn this around very |
| 14405s | quickly |
| 14407s | yeah so it does still have damage cap |
| 14409s | available and it looks like he's holding |
| 14411s | the patient's scalp because of that |
| 14412s | potentially going for six drops as well |
| 14415s | like I said with fewer five drops in the |
| 14418s | lobby being as valuable |
| 14423s | something that |
| 14425s | we're gonna see these players consider |
| 14427s | as the uh potentially freeze triples |
| 14430s | this and Mama getting a ton of value oh |
| 14432s | it's so big |
| 14436s | what will the summon be |
| 14439s | captained here so that will be 14 damage |
| 14442s | and we'll put sorted within one hit |
| 14448s | of death I mean what a turnaround this |
| 14450s | has been right zorgen sword finishing |
| 14452s | first and second now in seventh and |
| 14454s | eighth potentially the first two players |
| 14456s | to go down bersorg I think has managed |
| 14459s | to turn the uh |
| 14466s | able to pick up the ball of minions with |
| 14468s | the golden Little Ray getting extra |
| 14470s | Buffs out of that as well as the netizim |
| 14473s | overseer adding stats to the shop for |
| 14477s | this velvet |
| 14479s | um yeah the ball of minions gonna get |
| 14480s | buffed so he's got four demons starting |
| 14482s | to get buffed |
| 14484s | I don't even think you pressed the hero |
| 14485s | power anymore right you just take your |
| 14487s | plus five plus five or Whatever It Is by |
| 14490s | uh rolling one more time |
| 14492s | yeah absolutely zorgo's definitely done |
| 14494s | with her power uh it's a little bit too |
| 14496s | much of an investment |
| 14499s | um for a fell back however I wouldn't be |
| 14501s | surprised to see him pick up an Elise |
| 14502s | because that one go for a roll is also |
| 14504s | giving you those Buffs and then you |
| 14506s | definitely do want to sort of play like |
| 14508s | sword did in the last game and line up |
| 14512s | those triples or get to six so that you |
| 14515s | can find those additional fellvats and |
| 14517s | skill to you know the stats needed to |
| 14520s | take the win in the game rather than |
| 14522s | just a high placement here |
| 14528s | matched up into zanyang's gallacron who |
| 14530s | has an imama of his own as well as a |
| 14534s | semi Hefty bristlevac night it wouldn't |
| 14537s | have to in any other scenario uh |
| 14540s | unfortunately we just know how strong |
| 14541s | zorgo is |
| 14543s | yeah I think he's just managing to scale |
| 14545s | enough I mean like you have a |
| 14546s | bristleback group plus a holy mackerel |
| 14549s | this is a little scary but that's a 22 |
| 14552s | Health in Mama that is just gonna solo |
| 14554s | this whole fight |
| 14556s | yeah luckily zanyang at 39 has a lot of |
| 14561s | health and has probably enough to sort |
| 14565s | of clear up some of the damage on |
| 14566s | zorgo's Ford hey mama will be a little |
| 14569s | bit of an issue but as long as it |
| 14570s | doesn't get too many more summons from |
| 14573s | oh in the actually |
| 14577s | yeah not bad at all what will the imama |
| 14580s | summon |
| 14581s | and overseer so it takes a little bit of |
| 14584s | damage but we'll be okay with that |
| 14586s | situation being at 39 |
| 14589s | um and going up against quite the High |
| 14590s | Roller |
| 14591s | yeah James say though |
| 14594s | is going to be the next opponent for zor |
| 14596s | gray which is going to be a very |
| 14597s | interesting one given that he's still |
| 14598s | solidly in first place but that early |
| 14601s | Tempo that he got from the tiny henchman |
| 14603s | feels like it's kind of reaching the end |
| 14605s | of its efficacy now right dragon say |
| 14608s | needs to hit something else really to |
| 14611s | scale well into the late game because he |
| 14613s | is really running out of steam oh |
| 14616s | that's a golden theater |
| 14619s | wow okay so |
| 14622s | it looks like sword just sort of |
| 14626s | snowballed triples uh had the |
| 14630s | patient Scout as well as the Naga triple |
| 14634s | into theater |
| 14636s | and |
| 14638s | must have found another one somehow |
| 14641s | but |
| 14643s | this is such a pivotal moment |
| 14646s | that is a game-winning setup |
| 14649s | with the assistant you're able to get a |
| 14651s | Divine Shield under this Naga you have |
| 14653s | the two Weavers but the big thing here |
| 14655s | is that |
| 14657s | sword is on three health |
| 14660s | so again like we said any loss |
| 14664s | is gonna be a lethal so has to Tire |
| 14667s | better here |
| 14669s | the Leroy's will start to get buffed |
| 14671s | with that ritual dagger which is nice |
| 14672s | for a potential future |
| 14675s | the official has options |
| 14678s | oh this is going to be a very close |
| 14681s | fight |
| 14683s | oh and that was a terrible disaster |
| 14687s | luckily the shield and the pop-up will |
| 14689s | protect it for a little bit |
| 14691s | it's deflective |
| 14692s | we'll get reset |
| 14695s | just 14 attack now |
| 14700s | small minions in the middle will get |
| 14701s | cleared up and we'll see what hits into |
| 14704s | these shields the official value trades |
| 14706s | and that will be enough yeah |
| 14711s | very close though oh yeah very close and |
| 14716s | you see how low those minions got but |
| 14718s | now he's in a fantastic spot |
| 14721s | and we see in fact it was sliders just |
| 14724s | dodging lethal all along |
| 14726s | surviving at one though which means for |
| 14728s | everyone above damage cap |
| 14731s | which is our top four at this point |
| 14734s | and uh this really is the final chance |
| 14737s | here for sliders he was in seventh place |
| 14740s | after just getting one point at the end |
| 14741s | of game one so it's so crucial that he |
| 14744s | won here because if he goes out in last |
| 14745s | place it's over he will 100 not be |
| 14748s | getting through to day two uh and so he |
| 14752s | needs to have an immediate and very very |
| 14754s | strong turnaround on this turn which he |
| 14758s | does hit double Leroy with a theater as |
| 14761s | well plenty of spell crafts this is a |
| 14764s | big swing turn |
| 14766s | it is and on the other side of this |
| 14769s | combat is say hello who similarly didn't |
| 14772s | have the best result last game |
| 14775s | just hit a golden recycling wreath |
| 14779s | wow with wondrous wisdom ball |
| 14782s | wait I don't know if there's enough |
| 14785s | stats to get through slider's board here |
| 14788s | with so many Starcraft in hand as well |
| 14790s | as the double Leroy |
| 14794s | sells out of the theater |
| 14796s | they're gonna play for maximum maximum |
| 14799s | strengths ghost has to survive this turn |
| 14802s | like if he can finish in fifth I want to |
| 14805s | say there's a chance |
| 14808s | but seventh or eighth it feels almost |
| 14813s | yeah absolutely no reset on the |
| 14815s | deflector this time around |
| 14817s | gonna play the attack onto the deflecto |
| 14821s | and this wind Fury as well not worried |
| 14823s | about the reset just want to maximize |
| 14825s | that Divine Shield value |
| 14828s | and it's gonna be really close we saw a |
| 14831s | couple of very large tons leading with |
| 14834s | the Leroy |
| 14835s | gonna be good |
| 14838s | [Music] |
| 14842s | oh that's so unlucky |
| 14845s | oh my goodness sliders was good |
| 14849s | such a good position is it enough |
| 14855s | deciding factor it doesn't go into the |
| 14859s | Leroy |
| 14860s | and now |
| 14862s | there's so much value and the stats are |
| 14865s | too much so the cell that survives and |
| 14869s | despite some scary scary hits there |
| 14872s | sliders does have enough stats and say |
| 14876s | hello |
| 14877s | oh no maybe he's saying goodbye early |
| 14883s | yeah that is a disaster for say hello |
| 14885s | that is Q8 in a row which I want to say |
| 14888s | just guarantees him out of any chance of |
| 14890s | taking this down whatsoever |
| 14893s | Jake you're taking a big hit from zorgo |
| 14896s | there the zorgo hasn't had any issues |
| 14899s | winning any fights uh quickly went down |
| 14901s | to 14 and we were saying that we were a |
| 14903s | little worried about damage Camp zorgas |
| 14905s | said No Such Thing meanwhile zanyang has |
| 14908s | a pair of holy mackerels |
| 14911s | uh |
| 14912s | do you even want to Triple that I don't |
| 14915s | think so except it's a little weird |
| 14918s | because you do have that module on board |
| 14920s | alone but |
| 14923s | um yeah generally the two macros are |
| 14925s | better separate |
| 14927s | um usually you want them both taunted or |
| 14929s | untaunted so they can have that patented |
| 14932s | ping-pong effect sort of getting |
| 14934s | infinite or pseudo-infinite Shields at |
| 14937s | times |
| 14938s | uh but zanyang at this point at 10 |
| 14941s | health is just trying to maximize any |
| 14943s | value whatsoever |
| 14946s | positioning around a potential tunnel |
| 14948s | Blaster by not putting that second macro |
| 14950s | last despite having devils in the |
| 14953s | details and sword oh my goodness I |
| 14956s | realize now why we saw those goldens |
| 14959s | come out of nowhere sword has pill for |
| 14961s | Limbs and I totally neglected to look at |
| 14963s | that God out of a golden theater of all |
| 14967s | things |
| 14969s | you I guess play for survival here |
| 14973s | just once again another player forced to |
| 14975s | go Max Tempo uh interesting to see given |
| 14978s | again he's against the ghost here but I |
| 14980s | guess say hello would also have played |
| 14982s | for Max Tempo on his final turn so you |
| 14984s | do need to be preparing for that |
| 14987s | yeah and this is exactly that situation |
| 14989s | I was talking about before the game |
| 14990s | where just having that extra help afford |
| 14993s | you so many opportunities to to Greed a |
| 14996s | turn and not have to you can keep a |
| 14998s | golden theater on your board |
| 15000s | um but unfortunately sword not having as |
| 15003s | easy of a game as uh the previous one |
| 15007s | but still a lot of stats plenty to deal |
| 15009s | with say Hello's ghost |
| 15012s | yeah it's still just clawing his way |
| 15014s | through the right again you don't need |
| 15016s | to play to win you just got to play to |
| 15017s | survive a little bit longer and that's |
| 15019s | exactly what we see here is Sarah this |
| 15021s | fight baby |
| 15026s | that's a huge hit |
| 15029s | Jake here |
| 15034s | oh he almost survives because the baron |
| 15037s | was like Jay Carrick was fine until that |
| 15040s | moment |
| 15042s | a heartbreaker |
| 15045s | oh my goodness zorgo matches up into |
| 15048s | sliders and Sliders dreams maybe crushes |
| 15051s | well with the match-up |
| 15054s | RNG just said not in favor of the test |
| 15058s | here yeah tied sixth seventh what does |
| 15061s | that mean one and a half points for |
| 15063s | sliders putting up to two and a half |
| 15065s | after two games with him and say hello |
| 15067s | right down at the bottom it feels like |
| 15069s | the rich are getting richer and the poor |
| 15071s | are getting poorer after this game too |
| 15076s | absolutely |
| 15079s | and dragon say and zanyang are getting |
| 15082s | pretty low sword will match up into the |
| 15085s | Milhouse Milhouse was mostly relying on |
| 15088s | the sinful Medallion of his own |
| 15093s | he gets tested oh |
| 15095s | I forgot this is why I forgot it wasn't |
| 15099s | just fell for lamps it was ethereal |
| 15100s | evidence so sword is getting a different |
| 15102s | Quest every turn hot pill for lamps last |
| 15105s | turn didn't look like he was able to |
| 15106s | capitalize there you go |
| 15110s | um |
| 15110s | but we'll be trying to make the best of |
| 15114s | this sinful Medallion matched up against |
| 15116s | Sarah who has the sinful Medallion on |
| 15119s | Milhouse and this one's tough |
| 15124s | yeah this one is kind of tough right |
| 15126s | like if it wasn't for the tunnel Blaster |
| 15128s | I'd say quite handsomely saw taking this |
| 15130s | one down but yeah maybe not anymore |
| 15133s | actually |
| 15135s | yeah but that tunnel Blaster is there |
| 15138s | it's gonna be close I it's it's actually |
| 15142s | so close I I okay I I said Sarah but I |
| 15146s | think it's sword oh really you're taking |
| 15148s | it back straight away |
| 15149s | yeah I regret my decision I I think |
| 15152s | there's a couple break points that just |
| 15154s | favor sword here you know that lava look |
| 15157s | you're having 54 helps when there's 51 |
| 15159s | oh yeah attack on the other side just uh |
| 15162s | really rough a nice bike over here on |
| 15164s | the other side though and oh I'm close |
| 15166s | no I was right all along I never never |
| 15170s | doubted myself whatsoever |
| 15173s | complete confidence |
| 15176s | um thank goodness I put it on before I |
| 15178s | thought anymore because uh yeah Sarah |
| 15181s | taking it cleanly with the Milhouse |
| 15185s | at sinful Medallion starts on Milhouse |
| 15188s | uh just a little bit extra and Dragon |
| 15190s | City does a good end to zorgo |
| 15193s | um |
| 15199s | yeah another uh fantastic performance |
| 15203s | right a top two into at least the top |
| 15205s | three here as well looking |
| 15207s | strong uh and how does this board here |
| 15212s | for zanyang |
| 15215s | uh go forward what are we looking to |
| 15217s | actually hit to improve on this is it |
| 15219s | again just the cop-out answers of |
| 15221s | Leroy's and mantids or is there anything |
| 15223s | else |
| 15224s | well so zanyang is also working with |
| 15226s | ethereal evidence so his quest is going |
| 15229s | to change every turn |
| 15232s | um this turn he did hit |
| 15234s | staff of origination and as an |
| 15238s | interesting Quirk Sarah doesn't see that |
| 15240s | so when Sarah's hovering trying to scout |
| 15242s | what zanyang has he just sees the |
| 15244s | Ethereal evidence Quest so he's not |
| 15246s | going to know if he's played him in the |
| 15248s | past returns he's going to see that |
| 15249s | board and say okay and not realize that |
| 15251s | there's gonna be you know a huge like 12 |
| 15255s | 12 or 11 whatever the buff is it's got |
| 15258s | to be all over the board 12 12. |
| 15260s | and with those macros with a lot of |
| 15262s | shields as well as that grease spot it's |
| 15264s | going to be a deceptive amount of stats |
| 15267s | Sonya's also playing around the tunnel |
| 15269s | Blaster by having the module last |
| 15273s | which will mean that the macros do get |
| 15277s | reset |
| 15280s | and so it's just going to come down to |
| 15281s | how much value those Shields will have |
| 15284s | but with one of them already being a |
| 15286s | 3634 before the staff of origination the |
| 15289s | mated Queen existing and that Bristol |
| 15291s | bag Knight not too shabby itself I'm |
| 15293s | thinking that zanyang actually has a |
| 15296s | pretty decent chance of uh |
| 15300s | a little bit of Chunk |
| 15302s | a serious life |
| 15309s | [Applause] |
| 15317s | did you just see the impact of the |
| 15319s | Shields and and how |
| 15321s | valuable it was having the module last |
| 15323s | the breakpoint's super favorable |
| 15327s | someone does play it off |
| 15329s | um Sarah obviously not at risk of |
| 15331s | getting lethaled here uh from 25 but |
| 15334s | yeah that staff of origination the |
| 15336s | difference there just so many nice break |
| 15339s | points on the stats I know you and just |
| 15341s | the right resets what is it in this game |
| 15343s | with minions surviving at one Health it |
| 15345s | feels like it's happened like three or |
| 15347s | four times it's been really clutch uh |
| 15349s | situations here |
| 15350s | absolutely |
| 15353s | that being said it might be a little bit |
| 15354s | tougher against zorgo who's gotten |
| 15358s | seemingly infinite stats the second |
| 15360s | player in a row uh these games to take |
| 15364s | advantage of teal tiger Sapphire which |
| 15366s | we don't see that often but by far the |
| 15369s | best thing to run with it is that fell |
| 15371s | bat |
| 15372s | uh are you surprised to see him not |
| 15375s | level hit would he not be looking for |
| 15377s | more Fel bats or maybe a mounted Queen |
| 15379s | here on six as well |
| 15381s | yeah and I think I I was thinking about |
| 15384s | that a little bit earlier and I think |
| 15386s | the reasoning is that |
| 15388s | zorgo at this point isn't necessarily |
| 15392s | playing |
| 15393s | for first |
| 15396s | um in the typical sense right where |
| 15398s | you're just trying to scale as much as |
| 15399s | possible and really really get out of |
| 15401s | control |
| 15402s | he's trying to play for every fight and |
| 15404s | just |
| 15405s | win those fights |
| 15408s | by |
| 15410s | not expending any additional unnecessary |
| 15413s | resources on anything but rolling and |
| 15416s | being as strong as possible on that |
| 15418s | given turn right so any investment into |
| 15420s | leveling that's a lot of stats that |
| 15422s | you're sacrificing any minion purchases |
| 15425s | outside of you know |
| 15427s | just like maybe one per turn that you're |
| 15429s | teching for that fight again you're |
| 15432s | sacrificing a lot of stats zorgo having |
| 15434s | a pretty good position taking a talk to |
| 15437s | you in the last game |
| 15439s | doesn't necessarily need to win this |
| 15441s | game right that's true so winning and |
| 15443s | playing safe on these fights |
| 15445s | uh you know |
| 15447s | guarantee him a decent placement going |
| 15451s | forward uh into game three if if he's |
| 15454s | not locked already at this point so I I |
| 15457s | like his strategy it's it's a bit of |
| 15459s | that tournament meta coming into play |
| 15461s | for it |
| 15463s | foreign |
| 15479s | still not dying as uh zorgo is able to |
| 15483s | do just enough to zanyang oh wow between |
| 15487s | Sarah's Mill House in zorgas fedora |
| 15492s | yeah I was gonna bring up that this |
| 15493s | maybe felt like it might be the game |
| 15495s | that goes past turn 18 but that would |
| 15497s | have to have been if a neither player |
| 15499s | died |
| 15503s | now it feels like yeah if this is gonna |
| 15507s | end pretty quickly |
| 15508s | he answered just a bit short oh gonna |
| 15512s | cycle to try and maximize the stats but |
| 15515s | uh having seen the stats that Zerg is |
| 15518s | rocking on board |
| 15521s | um |
| 15523s | we didn't have back-to-back |
| 15525s | Heroes winning we didn't have |
| 15528s | back-to-back players winning but we do |
| 15530s | have backed by cops winning with the uh |
| 15532s | teal tiger fell back yeah so you know |
| 15535s | that's |
| 15536s | I I really can't stress enough it's not |
| 15539s | common |
| 15541s | um you generally don't see players even |
| 15543s | taking teal tiger Sapphire uh we've seen |
| 15545s | a lot of players just like instantly |
| 15547s | pass it already in this tournament but |
| 15551s | uh yeah I mean if you can hit the felvat |
| 15555s | it it works and maybe that was in |
| 15558s | zorgo's mind when he took the quest |
| 15559s | knowing that Eudora does have a little |
| 15562s | bit better odds of hitting that fell |
| 15565s | back with the sort of built-in discover |
| 15567s | from the hero power |
| 15573s | and Soca again just kind of |
| 15575s | giving us half his attention here for |
| 15577s | this final fight as I mean he knows it |
| 15579s | with a second place and most likely a |
| 15581s | first place he's already locked his spot |
| 15583s | up in the top four his work is already |
| 15586s | done and the final game of the day is |
| 15589s | the old money for him from here or now |
| 15593s | yeah well you will definitely win the |
| 15596s | puzzle box challenge between XD zorgos |
| 15601s | picked up a pile of points here right |
| 15604s | um |
| 15605s | I think I won that after like the first |
| 15607s | game right I didn't even need to go to |
| 15609s | game two uh it's pretty close I think XT |
| 15612s | picked up uh six and a half points and |
| 15614s | zorgo had six after game once |
| 15616s | yeah it was uh it was a quick quick |
| 15619s | victory for zorgo but um |
| 15622s | very well earned taking a first and |
| 15625s | second in the uh first couple games so |
| 15630s | really really well played by zorgo |
| 15633s | the rest of our players we've seen a |
| 15635s | couple that are almost for sure |
| 15637s | eliminated but it's gonna be a battle in |
| 15639s | the middle |
| 15642s | yeah absolutely |
| 15644s | um with say hello and slide us both |
| 15648s | feeling uh say hello I want to say with |
| 15650s | zero points just out no chance that you |
| 15652s | can make it through sliders feels like |
| 15655s | there might be a slight glimmer of hope |
| 15657s | if like the top four finish in a very |
| 15659s | specific order and then he's able to uh |
| 15662s | clutch out of first place then possibly |
| 15664s | he could take it down uh but you know |
| 15666s | it's very much Last Chance Saloon for |
| 15668s | him here whereas saw pretty much just |
| 15671s | guaranteed to be making it through uh |
| 15673s | sword and a bit more of an interesting |
| 15675s | place and everyone else just kind of |
| 15677s | hovering around that middle Mark uh I |
| 15680s | just love to see how it affects all our |
| 15681s | different players the strategies they go |
| 15683s | for going forward how the nerves affect |
| 15685s | them because while a lot of our players |
| 15687s | are multiple time performers both in |
| 15690s | lobby Legends and in other competitive |
| 15692s | Battlegrounds formats uh a lot of our |
| 15695s | players are a bit more new and it can |
| 15697s | really start to get to you the pressure |
| 15699s | when it's crunch time yeah it's really |
| 15703s | difficult and it's been interesting to |
| 15705s | see these players that have repeated in |
| 15707s | lobby Legends continue to do well but |
| 15711s | you know we have zorgo here |
| 15714s | feeling right at home doesn't look |
| 15717s | phased At All by the pressure |
| 15720s | um |
| 15721s | laughing both games that his fortunes |
| 15724s | and uh hopefully we'll see them continue |
| 15727s | so we're just behind him in second wow |
| 15732s | how does this work |
| 15734s | in the third at 10. Sarah at nine so we |
| 15737s | see that nine point threshold after game |
| 15740s | two be the top four in both of these |
| 15741s | lobbies just behind we have Jog and say |
| 15744s | it's six and a half points Jake here get |
| 15745s | four and a half and like you said |
| 15747s | sliders at two and a half gonna have |
| 15750s | nearly possible if not impossible time |
| 15753s | getting through uh and then say hello |
| 15756s | unfortunately is uh gonna be playing |
| 15759s | with house money because uh |
| 15761s | there's not gonna be anything else left |
| 15764s | for him tomorrow but yeah y'all can say |
| 15768s | definitely still have chances we saw |
| 15772s | had that nine point total and ended up |
| 15774s | with an eighth Sarah you know will Sarah |
| 15777s | be able to withstand the pressure of |
| 15779s | being ahead while dragon say and jakirik |
| 15780s | withstand the pressure being a little |
| 15782s | bit behind needing to go for a higher |
| 15784s | placement |
| 15786s | yes Sarah can definitely not rest on his |
| 15788s | Laurels here he needs to still get a |
| 15790s | good performance I want to say slide is |
| 15793s | um still in with a chance he has to win |
| 15796s | 100 and Sarah has to either finish |
| 15799s | eighth or joint eighth to equal nine uh |
| 15803s | an equal amount of points or half a |
| 15805s | point behind and like then the couple of |
| 15807s | people in between have to finish poorly |
| 15809s | not to Eclipse him as well so we'll see |
| 15811s | once we get into it it's like as you |
| 15814s | said basically impossible uh for him to |
| 15817s | qualify through but we'll see if he can |
| 15818s | pull something out of the bag for |
| 15820s | sliders as it would be cool to him for |
| 15821s | him to follow up a uh a third place in |
| 15824s | the previous Lobby Legends with a better |
| 15826s | performance at this weekend uh but it |
| 15829s | was just one game left to come today we |
| 15832s | are going to go to a quick break before |
| 15834s | the final game of the day we'll see you |
| 15836s | very shortly |

| 16037s | thank you welcome back and thank you to |
| 16040s | everyone who has been watching competing |
| 16043s | alongside perhaps as well with our |
| 16044s | Tavern buddy extension on the uh play |
| 16048s | Hearthstone twitch page if you are |
| 16050s | watching there uh be interesting to see |
| 16052s | how you're all doing how the predictions |
| 16054s | have been working out for you uh I think |
| 16056s | for uh Pocky it's fair to say it's been |
| 16059s | working out a little bit better than it |
| 16060s | has for me but it's the uh the final |
| 16063s | game of the day everything can turn |
| 16064s | around for us and of course for the |
| 16066s | players as well |
| 16067s | exactly and it'll be interesting to see |
| 16070s | if they do |
| 16071s | um Jake you know did really well in the |
| 16074s | qualifiers he got a sixth and then the |
| 16076s | rest of his games were top twos through |
| 16078s | the final five games I think picking up |
| 16080s | like three firsts and so you know he's |
| 16084s | he used to following up some you know |
| 16086s | middling performances with some |
| 16089s | dominating performances and he needs one |
| 16090s | to hear if he wants to make the top four |
| 16092s | and it looks like that's the perspective |
| 16094s | we're gonna start on and he's gonna take |
| 16096s | one of the biggest Hyrule heroes in the |
| 16099s | game Lord bearov |
| 16102s | yeah exactly anyone who thinks that |
| 16104s | they're gonna |
| 16106s | kick him out of the top four Barrel's |
| 16108s | got a finger for you |
| 16110s | that ain't happening |
| 16113s | um yeah the heroes represented here I |
| 16115s | mean none of these particularly High |
| 16118s | pick priority right so do we just end up |
| 16120s | on Eudora for the high armor value I was |
| 16123s | gonna say vardenin it looks like Varden |
| 16125s | will be the pick so Varden does have a |
| 16127s | lot of potential again with sort of |
| 16129s | those built-in Pairs and the ability to |
| 16132s | sort of force triples in the right |
| 16134s | situation these players certainly going |
| 16136s | to know how to do that it's not |
| 16137s | necessarily super intuitive for some |
| 16139s | players but once you get used to varding |
| 16142s | a very high skill cap here on forcing |
| 16144s | premium triples it's a it's like a quite |
| 16147s | strong hero |
| 16148s | um there can be misses but |
| 16150s | very very good |
| 16152s | um Jay Kirk will get the turn one bet |
| 16154s | here hitting a shell collector will have |
| 16157s | an option between sliders and toggle I |
| 16159s | didn't see what she picked but uh it's a |
| 16161s | bit of a coin flip you know that sliders |
| 16164s | is you know gonna have the option to |
| 16167s | take a pirate with her power you know |
| 16169s | tagwago's gonna |
| 16171s | um |
| 16172s | opt for a token more often right exactly |
| 16175s | to |
| 16176s | but we'll match up against sword who's |
| 16178s | on Master wind so another Panda game for |
| 16180s | me |
| 16183s | uh and they take a tie both with shell |
| 16186s | collectors oh |
| 16191s | son young with a pair of Tavern tippers |
| 16199s | I didn't just take the bus but unlikely |
| 16201s | to invest too much into them |
| 16204s | um on gravo here |
| 16207s | likely we'll just see uh a bit of a g |
| 16210s | curve leveling to two next turn |
| 16214s | uh we don't see our minion types just |
| 16217s | yet right yeah I was thinking |
| 16221s | but that's going to be a big determining |
| 16224s | factor and I'm sure it was a determining |
| 16225s | factor in the here selections as well so |
| 16229s | grebo you know unlikely to be hooked up |
| 16231s | unless there are a decent amount of |
| 16234s | summons available |
| 16238s | or it does have that shell collector |
| 16240s | pair here |
| 16242s | I'm getting the home of hero power I |
| 16245s | believe so able to level and pick up the |
| 16247s | hair it's a really nice bean and then |
| 16250s | having that coin available to |
| 16251s | potentially double by this turn or to |
| 16254s | level |
| 16256s | the hero power is not entirely |
| 16258s | compelling I don't think either those |
| 16260s | are enough to push us off just double |
| 16263s | buying or leveling here |
| 16265s | yeah and interestingly we see mashup |
| 16268s | Advanced Dragon says Varden you did go |
| 16271s | three on three so I would expect back to |
| 16274s | leveling here just to take advantage of |
| 16277s | that having the pair on the higher tier |
| 16278s | and that is what we see |
| 16283s | Carrick with another |
| 16285s | that to be made this time on his work |
| 16288s | and say hello |
| 16289s | zorg on Elise |
| 16293s | say hello right |
| 16296s | yeah |
| 16299s | thoroughly |
| 16304s | okay not a bad stuff |
| 16316s | uh so it looks like the minion types for |
| 16319s | this game are Naga demon Pirates quill |
| 16322s | board and the beasts so no Max this time |
| 16327s | around as well as no murlocs |
| 16330s | oh Jay Carrick having an absolute |
| 16331s | disaster though getting a tie there when |
| 16334s | one of the players had gone three on |
| 16335s | three you'd obviously expect to be |
| 16337s | winning that one but uh |
| 16339s | the problem is just the other players |
| 16342s | know right they're so attentive to |
| 16345s | scouting that you know say Hello can see |
| 16347s | oh sorry went through and three I can |
| 16349s | hold my minions you know for the quest |
| 16351s | and Jake obviously kinda had an inkling |
| 16354s | with some spending a little bit of time |
| 16355s | considering that possibility uh during |
| 16359s | the bet but we'll just take the Battle |
| 16362s | Cry there |
| 16364s | I cannot go a quill both of volatile |
| 16367s | Venom feels very expensive |
| 16371s | a very expensive indeed because Naga and |
| 16374s | quillboard don't synergize into the |
| 16376s | quest we saw XC take volatile Venom in |
| 16379s | that first game but that Quest actually |
| 16381s | played into volatile Venom where you |
| 16383s | kind of set up a board that you know is |
| 16386s | is where you're headed and like I said |
| 16388s | you know these players are very much |
| 16390s | considering the direction they're going |
| 16392s | super early on |
| 16396s | um |
| 16398s | another hidden body for 12 minions |
| 16408s | that's one more purchase to make will |
| 16410s | grab the Naga siren |
| 16413s | uh sorry not the nagas are in the um |
| 16415s | Warden of old the Naga |
| 16426s | clearing off some of the high damage |
| 16427s | minion |
| 16428s | oh I haven't takenings I suppose do not |
| 16431s | take too much |
| 16433s | um Jay Carrick with the very early |
| 16435s | kidnap sack and that is yeah that's huge |
| 16438s | Westward that gives you a ton of value |
| 16443s | um up to a free minion attorney if |
| 16445s | you're using it in the shop of course |
| 16446s | you can also use it on your own board if |
| 16448s | you do find like a premium Battle Cry |
| 16450s | that you want to sort of recycle |
| 16455s | but |
| 16456s | nice setup I didn't say presented the |
| 16459s | option of grabbing a double bird buddy |
| 16462s | but with no beasts on board |
| 16467s | gonna add some cards to hand with the |
| 16469s | Gambler and the sun bacon relaxer |
| 16474s | going to take the bird buddy the scrap |
| 16476s | Smith was also an interesting option |
| 16478s | with that Quest but no taunts on board |
| 16480s | just yet |
| 16482s | yeah I think the top uh sorry the bird |
| 16484s | body as well is just going to open up |
| 16486s | more immediate |
| 16488s | uh board consolidation options like if |
| 16490s | you pick up two of those as soon as you |
| 16492s | find a beast uh you're able to just |
| 16494s | completely win back any Tempo you may |
| 16496s | have lost |
| 16498s | absolutely |
| 16501s | and not a lot developing I mean we know |
| 16505s | sliders is going to be playing for |
| 16506s | pirates on the patches |
| 16508s | uh but elsewhere not |
| 16512s | anything super notable |
| 16515s | um I don't think we've seen any triples |
| 16517s | lined up |
| 16521s | everyone just on tier three so no crazy |
| 16524s | leveling patterns either |
| 16536s | maybe a slight loss to the tavern |
| 16538s | tippers for Jay Carrick but you'll be |
| 16541s | okay with that one |
| 16543s | um you know as long as you're not taking |
| 16544s | too much damage in these mid game fights |
| 16546s | you're pretty much okay because bearov |
| 16548s | really shines in the late game and |
| 16550s | actually he does have a triple lined up |
| 16553s | so now the question is |
| 16556s | what will he aim for applications |
| 16560s | yeah I |
| 16563s | think you might these are quite good |
| 16566s | though and he can take it right here and |
| 16569s | with the kidnap sack |
| 16571s | brand can be very valuable uh Mama Bear |
| 16574s | you can kind of do you know sort of like |
| 16576s | the genius thing where you consistently |
| 16578s | bounce a unit and buff it up |
| 16582s | um Jake will be able to take the |
| 16583s | patients out but he's gonna take it with |
| 16585s | the kidnap snack and hold it it does |
| 16588s | give potential for another triple of the |
| 16590s | show collector given that discover and |
| 16592s | so he is gonna go for six drops here |
| 16596s | be their end |
| 16602s | um you know certainly because he has the |
| 16604s | golden hand if he did want to take it |
| 16606s | now so I'm gonna say goes for a four |
| 16609s | here with the bird buddy triple I assume |
| 16613s | yeah not looking good it's a reanimating |
| 16615s | rattler uh necrolyte and tunnel blaster |
| 16619s | probably gonna take |
| 16624s | Barry Oh actually tripled the warden |
| 16627s | evolved |
| 16628s | um is going to try and triple the bird |
| 16629s | buddy now though |
| 16631s | took to necrolyte with those gems being |
| 16634s | on the |
| 16635s | abortion of old |
| 16637s | wanting to buff up that for everybody a |
| 16640s | little |
| 16641s | Point into the hopefully upcoming triple |
| 16646s | oh man again |
| 16648s | kill the rental and does |
| 16651s | not finish the quest oh well it will |
| 16654s | finish uh on the purchase next turn so |
| 16660s | and it is |
| 16663s | it's doubles in the details I believe |
| 16666s | so luckily it's an end of turn effect |
| 16669s | that is a big deal because some quests |
| 16672s | when you get it a turn late it's |
| 16673s | actually like getting it like two turns |
| 16675s | later Sometimes some uh some quests if |
| 16678s | you get it during combat it's like |
| 16679s | getting it a full turn earlier because |
| 16680s | it's at the start of your turn so |
| 16682s | very now you're spraying for Jog and say |
| 16685s | who needs that at 11 Health now on the |
| 16688s | Varden |
| 16691s | and that didn't have the point total to |
| 16693s | be totally comfortable with the poor |
| 16695s | performance here |
| 16697s | take care doesn't hit the shell |
| 16698s | collector triple |
| 16704s | he is considering purchasing from the |
| 16706s | shop before playing the picky eater |
| 16708s | the hymen is a lot of stats |
| 16711s | um and it's slightly less that's if you |
| 16713s | do consume it |
| 16716s | um or could have considered picking up |
| 16718s | something else a felvet offered Eliza in |
| 16721s | coiler as well |
| 16723s | has a demon on board in the picket eater |
| 16726s | murlocs are out and so it will be the |
| 16728s | fell bet for Jakira cure yeah I think |
| 16731s | he's got the right idea in this game |
| 16732s | right he needs to get a strong |
| 16735s | finish if he just takes coiler here I |
| 16738s | think he's looking at finishing more |
| 16740s | around the middle of the table and |
| 16741s | there's a good chance he needs to finish |
| 16742s | towards the top to qualify absolutely |
| 16745s | and you're asking you know how do you |
| 16747s | Hyrule right now in this meta and like I |
| 16749s | said it's that early Tempo Direction |
| 16751s | type stuff in Feldman it's certainly |
| 16754s | fits the bill do you hear it with some |
| 16756s | gold in that kidnapps like to try and |
| 16758s | find another demon meanwhile we have |
| 16759s | Zord with an enhance-o-matic quest uh |
| 16763s | completed |
| 16769s | rainbow who despite not really having a |
| 16773s | ton of summons is still at 49 Health |
| 16775s | has France along the way |
| 16780s | uh four two Naga so Naga like I said one |
| 16785s | of the premium friends along the way was |
| 16788s | will finally take damage 15 in fact full |
| 16791s | damage count from zorgo it was many of |
| 16794s | those four drops survive |
| 16799s | oh and we have a SIM |
| 16804s | spoiler here with a early secret |
| 16807s | Sandstone on turn seven on zephyrus I |
| 16811s | don't know if they've exhausted any of |
| 16812s | those hero Powers but we could see very |
| 16815s | quick spikes from say hello |
| 16818s | that'd be very cool to see |
| 16822s | is going up to |
| 16824s | five as well now |
| 16826s | double netherism overseer for job and |
| 16828s | say with that Devil's in the details |
| 16830s | gonna focus on that for tempo |
| 16840s | anyong |
| 16843s | triples The Tavern Tipper I believe into |
| 16845s | a six drop here |
| 16847s | I've heard minted Queen golden and Eliza |
| 16851s | takes the mantid queen |
| 16858s | zanyang was in a more comfortable |
| 16860s | position in the standings |
| 16862s | so probably not wanting to play as risky |
| 16865s | despite golden and Eliza having maybe |
| 16867s | more upside with that hero power painted |
| 16870s | Queen is gonna be you know kind of the |
| 16872s | more consistent strong unit |
| 16874s | regardless of |
| 16875s | where you end up and you don't really |
| 16877s | need to hit anything else to go with |
| 16878s | manted Queen |
| 16880s | hey Carrick again so close to |
| 16882s | stabilizing here he just wanted a |
| 16887s | another fell back and uh |
| 16890s | uh a mama imp as well in order to be |
| 16892s | able to |
| 16894s | get some more demons in play because |
| 16896s | those six drops you got just really |
| 16898s | don't help with this scaling in any way |
| 16899s | whatsoever oh and say hello has a golden |
| 16903s | theater |
| 16905s | double A thistle |
| 16908s | hold in trickster is also huge |
| 16912s | and say hello might be winning this game |
| 16915s | you think so do you see already |
| 16919s | yeah buffing up that trickster without |
| 16921s | relaxing the lobby at Health spread out |
| 16924s | across what will probably be scaled up |
| 16927s | minions with the double at this uh |
| 16930s | I'd be a little bit concerned for |
| 16932s | everyone else |
| 16939s | your powers immediately to Golden yet |
| 16941s | this I'll find something |
| 16942s | has a pair of organisms and you couldn't |
| 16945s | ask for anything better than that here |
| 16948s | uh say hello quickly considering selling |
| 16951s | the mini mermaid on before playing that |
| 16953s | second organzoa to consolidate the Buffs |
| 16955s | on the atissa but decides to get out of |
| 16957s | the Rat Pack |
| 16958s | uh potentially wanting to play that |
| 16960s | bristle back Knight instead is that |
| 16962s | third minion type |
| 16966s | and we see how powerful orgazoa is with |
| 16969s | Secrets since then just absolutely the |
| 16971s | best thing he could have hoped for so |
| 16973s | many stats gonna be taken with this |
| 16975s | golden athissa and actually not even |
| 16977s | playing into the theaters just focus on |
| 16979s | the organzos and the if this is |
| 16982s | um I don't know why I would think that |
| 16983s | the atar would be a consideration here |
| 16985s | because uh the upside is just so great |
| 16988s | like I said with the organs I was |
| 16989s | doubling the discoveries every turn |
| 16991s | speaking of the guitar sword offered a |
| 16994s | theater of his own along with that |
| 16995s | golden and the gas griller |
| 16998s | on the panda |
| 17000s | the quest is yog-tastic Tasties |
| 17005s | I can't really see you really have an |
| 17007s | idea of his board but we do see a hogger |
| 17009s | available |
| 17011s | um |
| 17013s | as well as a lot of quill Wars |
| 17018s | it's not the connective tissue between |
| 17021s | Pirates and uh quill was here right he |
| 17024s | needed |
| 17026s | um |
| 17026s | yeah and I think he was aiming to I'm |
| 17029s | waiting something like a dark gaze |
| 17030s | exactly yeah |
| 17033s | but I wasn't able to connect the theater |
| 17036s | is the next best option picking up a few |
| 17039s | steps to try and get through this fight |
| 17040s | but not gonna be successful in Street |
| 17042s | carrick's scaling with the fell back |
| 17045s | carlga and the iron Megan hey if you |
| 17049s | didn't nobody you think it's a gassing |
| 17051s | an ass board trying to take advantage of |
| 17053s | this end of turn effects |
| 17058s | Sarah The cookbook a quest that we |
| 17061s | haven't seen too often is gonna be |
| 17063s | enough |
| 17065s | to not say hello down to 11 despite the |
| 17069s | sinstone board a bit of a transition |
| 17071s | return for say hello so nothing to be |
| 17073s | too concerned about just now oh and say |
| 17076s | hello hits the ball of minions and wait |
| 17078s | a second |
| 17079s | Sarah has gorgen hogger with cookbook oh |
| 17083s | yes this is this is where you get to |
| 17086s | those hundred hundred cookbook stats you |
| 17090s | said you might not have the APM but I |
| 17092s | believe Sarah does look at this already |
| 17095s | 30 30 on every minion bot still has |
| 17098s | damage cap as a protective you know |
| 17101s | Shield at 19 health |
| 17104s | there's a bristleback night as well and |
| 17107s | it looks like he's gonna pick that up |
| 17108s | just with that pair already on board |
| 17109s | it's a little bit too much tempo right |
| 17112s | now to pass up and again Sarah is that |
| 17116s | not was that nine points is that nine |
| 17117s | points uh certainly gonna pick up points |
| 17120s | here because he is not wrestling on his |
| 17123s | Laurel just going for everything right |
| 17125s | now with the cooked book golden auger |
| 17127s | game |
| 17129s | absolutely yeah he's been |
| 17132s | looking very very strong here that turns |
| 17134s | six is actually only gonna be costing |
| 17135s | him like one or two gold as well because |
| 17137s | of all the decks will be uh that he's |
| 17139s | been playing as well along the way uh |
| 17141s | zanyang having gone I guess mainly for |
| 17145s | nagas here but not having found thyssa |
| 17148s | not having found a critter Wrangler I |
| 17151s | think quite clearly shows us that he is |
| 17154s | on his last legs here |
| 17156s | yeah and that is a tough one especially |
| 17159s | when you're on a hero like gravo that |
| 17161s | doesn't have scaling or much benefit |
| 17164s | built in if you don't have a very |
| 17166s | specific comp |
| 17168s | and it's something you see these high |
| 17170s | level players try to avoid right because |
| 17173s | they need that flexibility right the |
| 17176s | game doesn't always just give things to |
| 17178s | you for free and so |
| 17180s | unfortunately for zanyang this game is |
| 17183s | not looking free at all I'm gonna say a |
| 17187s | very close fight here is gonna have just |
| 17191s | enough the devil's in the details set |
| 17194s | will be enough to take zorgo down to 10 |
| 17197s | on the Elise |
| 17202s | I can say finding two more overseers but |
| 17205s | not having the board space to support it |
| 17207s | and Sarah we talked about not wrestling |
| 17210s | the wars because this is a pretty close |
| 17213s | fight uh could have came down to just |
| 17215s | the hogger surviving patches with the |
| 17217s | golden Hammer |
| 17219s | able to Golden a minion on this board |
| 17221s | every turn |
| 17223s | I absolutely lost chance of sleep it is |
| 17225s | here because it feels like everyone else |
| 17227s | has hit the hogger apart from him |
| 17229s | oh and Sarah actually does hit the |
| 17232s | triple |
| 17235s | oh no he has hit the whole ghost sorry |
| 17237s | my mistake golden hog are available okay |
| 17239s | okay this is the turn where things can |
| 17242s | start around |
| 17244s | yeah I think it may have been a golden |
| 17247s | hammered hogger uh which means there's a |
| 17250s | pool for him to find he does have a |
| 17252s | golden salty Little Golden piggy as well |
| 17254s | oh mine's gamblers which is exactly what |
| 17258s | he needs |
| 17261s | and might have a lucky turn against |
| 17264s | zanyang who we saw hadn't been able to |
| 17267s | hit scale and continue to hit the |
| 17268s | gamblers |
| 17270s | who needs a third hogger if you just hit |
| 17273s | gamblers at 11 golden we've rolled a few |
| 17277s | times there's a triple I don't even know |
| 17280s | if he wanted to be honest |
| 17282s | oh this is more Pirates |
| 17286s | and I mean the gold is endless these |
| 17289s | shops are insane a blue shell offered |
| 17293s | the sliders |
| 17294s | will level it's nothing but time uh time |
| 17298s | here is infinite money |
| 17304s | that is if he can find any Pirates I was |
| 17306s | down close to the end does find it |
| 17309s | or selfless Tony so yeah |
| 17313s | we'll probably pick it up to end on but |
| 17315s | uh we'll end on the Eliza for stats um |
| 17318s | yeah pick up the hold is what I meant |
| 17321s | um |
| 17321s | ending on the Eliza for Max Tempo this |
| 17324s | turn and honestly should be completely |
| 17327s | fine oh yeah look at this even with the |
| 17330s | huge salty little going straight into |
| 17331s | the manted queen there's just so many |
| 17334s | stats the Eliza was kicking in |
| 17339s | foreign |
| 17353s | yeah absolutely right he was in third |
| 17356s | place but going down in joint oh |
| 17360s | alongside jaggy uh dragons say oh sorry |
| 17365s | triple uh last place is his going down |
| 17368s | as well oh my God so three go down in |
| 17372s | his sixth seventh eighth time so they'll |
| 17374s | all be picking up uh one point but I |
| 17378s | don't know if that'll be enough for |
| 17379s | zanyang |
| 17381s | there's certainly going to be people |
| 17382s | coming |
| 17384s | Sarah |
| 17387s | looking very strong on the talk while |
| 17388s | called Jay curek |
| 17393s | saying something |
| 17396s | very vocal in the moment what is he |
| 17399s | saying there's my theaters yeah too late |
| 17404s | um oh and here we have our beerus |
| 17406s | blessing between say hello who's Hyrule |
| 17410s | of Naga and Sarah whose Hyrule |
| 17413s | cookbooked auger both of them with |
| 17415s | corrupted murmidons on the board but |
| 17418s | who's bigger |
| 17420s | I mean tomorrow it definitely looks like |
| 17422s | Sarah's in the lead right now |
| 17425s | uh especially even that's a corrupted |
| 17428s | moment on his side but I will say if |
| 17430s | there's any Divine Shields that come |
| 17432s | down on the other side that could turn |
| 17434s | things around yeah like this there is a |
| 17436s | few of them wow |
| 17441s | oh my goodness there's a lot happening |
| 17443s | for say hello here still it just doesn't |
| 17445s | have time again our secret system |
| 17448s | turning any game into uh |
| 17452s | an APM game say hello doing his best to |
| 17456s | get through everything with that golden |
| 17462s | at this uh |
| 17465s | we end up on opposite sides I think we |
| 17467s | did for the first time oh my goodness |
| 17470s | all right welcome down to this cleave I |
| 17474s | believe is another middle taunt so it is |
| 17476s | a bit awkward |
| 17478s | true but I think say hello has just too |
| 17481s | much of those corrupted mermaids getting |
| 17483s | those divines they did get a lot bigger |
| 17485s | yeah I think he might be right here they |
| 17487s | grew so much over the course of that |
| 17489s | turn |
| 17491s | foreign |
| 17496s | [Music] |
| 17531s | again what's needing |
| 17534s | another hogger when you can just you |
| 17537s | know hit Pirates |
| 17542s | remember there's another gambler |
| 17546s | this is getting close to infinite |
| 17549s | this how's the captain uh providing a |
| 17552s | little extra stats from these ball of |
| 17554s | minions just a funny little interaction |
| 17556s | there yeah because uh it's getting a two |
| 17559s | extra sense and so since it's too big to |
| 17561s | uh to sell it you might just look into a |
| 17563s | little bit of value that way and another |
| 17564s | Gambler picked up for sliders more |
| 17567s | pirates in the shop |
| 17569s | going on down to five Health oh there is |
| 17572s | a tunnel Blaster he doesn't necessarily |
| 17575s | know exactly what he's up against in |
| 17577s | Sarah's board so he might pick that up |
| 17578s | and he does yeah I like him selfless |
| 17581s | hero also an option you would probably |
| 17583s | have to get out of this smaller Peggy if |
| 17586s | you wanted to play it or you could hold |
| 17589s | it there are multiple options here but |
| 17592s | it looks like |
| 17594s | it's just gonna be the tunnel Blaster |
| 17595s | but unfortunately it is Valiant as the |
| 17599s | effort was and it was Valiant I don't |
| 17603s | think this is enough to deal with |
| 17604s | sarasport we just saw agreed say hello |
| 17610s | handle it in the yeah that's aren't even |
| 17614s | on the same level |
| 17617s | 100 hundreds on one side 50 50s on the |
| 17620s | other |
| 17621s | and Sliders realizes exactly where his |
| 17624s | Foggers have been all game been |
| 17629s | Sarah's bored |
| 17631s | yeah unfortunately for uh maybe a lethal |
| 17633s | and say a winter say hello |
| 17637s | lost his swords Panda oh wait is Sarah |
| 17644s | oh oh my goodness he just went full |
| 17648s | stairs primarily sets and finds a George |
| 17651s | hero power that's sick |
| 17654s | this is very |
| 17658s | weird just a minted triple available in |
| 17662s | the shop |
| 17663s | I don't even want that though the shield |
| 17667s | well the only reason you take it is it |
| 17669s | gives you the out of tripling into |
| 17671s | another but I don't think that'll be the |
| 17674s | case the problem is |
| 17675s | that |
| 17677s | there's sort of two units that are |
| 17680s | pretty lackluster on this board |
| 17682s | I was selfless hero |
| 17685s | could be a pretty good pickup here |
| 17687s | passes it wow pass us the Gambler so |
| 17691s | looking for very specific stuff because |
| 17692s | the Gambler would be money with that |
| 17696s | hogger on board but not wanting to |
| 17698s | sacrifice the 54-54 banner board |
| 17703s | only tunnel Blaster I guess |
| 17706s | looking forward to deal with their |
| 17708s | Divine Shields maybe but I mean you have |
| 17710s | your own mounted Queens it's a bit |
| 17711s | awkward |
| 17713s | yeah it's tough indeed reborn definitely |
| 17716s | would have been an option |
| 17718s | um for that coiler to try and spawn more |
| 17721s | uh Libras |
| 17723s | there aren't max they're demons but |
| 17726s | without mechs you know it helps remove a |
| 17729s | lot of death rattles on the pool |
| 17730s | obviously beasts Max and demons with the |
| 17733s | most death rattles in the game so |
| 17736s | um when Mexican demons are underneath |
| 17738s | summoning that Leroy from that coil are |
| 17741s | much more likely but |
| 17743s | it might not matter here as they leave |
| 17746s | cleans up on me Andy Leroy |
| 17751s | only one Shield of poison left in too |
| 17754s | many stats on the side |
| 17762s | yeah and it is just |
| 17766s | not quite there it was close though a |
| 17769s | nice performance |
| 17771s | from swords panda |
| 17776s | I think that does get the job done for |
| 17778s | Sarah quite handsomely with a second |
| 17781s | place into a first place in games two |
| 17785s | and three a huge turnaround uh after a |
| 17789s | joint |
| 17790s | fourth fifth whatever it was uh the end |
| 17793s | of uh game one |
| 17795s | um and looking much stronger for it now |
| 17798s | as I think that locks him into that |
| 17801s | first place as it does sword as it does |
| 17803s | zorgo as well I believe we'll take a |
| 17805s | proper look at our standings in just a |
| 17807s | minute but I think we're pretty much all |
| 17809s | tied up here well obviously we're all |
| 17811s | set but we'll get a confirmation of the |
| 17813s | standings at the end of day one here in |
| 17816s | a minute as this has just been non-stop |
| 17819s | crackers of games I think these have |
| 17822s | been so much fun throughout |
| 17824s | yes most of them have been super |
| 17827s | unpredictable I mean we saw a sinstone |
| 17830s | on turn seven not end up winning we saw |
| 17833s | a three-way tie out of nowhere I wasn't |
| 17836s | expecting three people to get lethal |
| 17838s | this area and then all of a sudden they |
| 17840s | were all gone and in the top two you |
| 17843s | know it didn't look like say hello was |
| 17845s | gonna lose to anyone except for Sarah |
| 17847s | and sword you know made it close at the |
| 17851s | end and Sarah with the cooked book I |
| 17852s | said I wanted to see a cookbook win |
| 17854s | there you go we did |
| 17856s | get to see a little bit of cooked book |
| 17858s | action at the end and there's our final |
| 17859s | standings actually Sarah just missing |
| 17861s | out on the first place to sword 16 and a |
| 17864s | half points insane performance from |
| 17867s | sword getting a first and second |
| 17869s | actually our top three players all got |
| 17870s | it first and second |
| 17873s | I'm impressive that none of them got |
| 17875s | that uh double Victory as well good for |
| 17877s | me of course because I predicted that |
| 17878s | nobody would |
| 17880s | um but uh for our players down at the |
| 17882s | bottom uh jug and say Jay curex sliders |
| 17885s | and say hello I feel their pain we |
| 17887s | didn't get to see much of say hello |
| 17888s | obviously because he went out very |
| 17890s | quickly in most of those games but for |
| 17893s | Jay Carrick in that final game as well |
| 17894s | there was just a lot that didn't go his |
| 17897s | way right on for like unlucky roles uh |
| 17900s | on barov where I feel like he made the |
| 17902s | right choice but wasn't rewarded for it |
| 17904s | necessarily tripling into bad outcomes |
| 17906s | just one of those days where things |
| 17909s | don't quite work out |
| 17911s | yeah and it was tough but all our |
| 17914s | players played it very well and we have |
| 17916s | our final Lobby here uh penguin Sun |
| 17919s | shaxxy Max 70 Vigo zorgo |
| 17923s | sword zanyang and Sira making it through |
| 17926s | to tomorrow and we're gonna watch all |
| 17928s | their action tomorrow Vigo with the |
| 17930s | non-cross arm proposal once again for |
| 17931s | the second larva Legends in a row |
| 17934s | every player that hasn't crossed their |
| 17935s | arms has made it through to the finals |
| 17937s | I'm just saying it's something to |
| 17939s | consider |
| 17940s | ah |
| 17941s | yeah Sarah as well he's he's on his way |
| 17944s | I feel like he's |
| 17945s | yeah I guess that doesn't quite that |
| 17948s | doesn't quite I'll take it I'll take it |
| 17949s | you know it's like a finger we can't |
| 17951s | beat |
| 17951s | yeah it's just the the hands it's not |
| 17954s | arms it's different it's different I'll |
| 17956s | count it I'll count it |
| 17958s | all right we'll put that one in the the |
| 17960s | hands not cross book uh but of course |
| 17962s | well done to all of our players who |
| 17964s | qualified through to the final Lobby |
| 17966s | that is all going to be played out |
| 17968s | tomorrow where things eat up yet further |
| 17972s | because in this right at this point on |
| 17974s | the uh the jumps in prize pool really |
| 17976s | start to rack up especially of course |
| 17977s | given that our prize points are doubled |
| 17981s | this uh Lobby Legends but speaking of |
| 17985s | the real winners of today look at this I |
| 17987s | only got one wrong build it you killed |
| 17990s | it I'll have to I'll have to amp it up |
| 17992s | for tomorrow |
| 17994s | um I was close on a few you know but we |
| 17997s | got to 18 turns we didn't get to 19 |
| 17999s | though |
| 18000s | um |
| 18001s | was too strong on the patchwork |
| 18003s | but uh yeah |
| 18006s | we uh we flipped on the six the six |
| 18009s | different winners six different Heroes |
| 18011s | and the zorgo with a fantastic |
| 18013s | performance we'll move on to tomorrow |
| 18016s | because the unfortunately will not |
| 18020s | uh some tough losses there but really |
| 18023s | really great performances from everyone |
| 18025s | today made the game is amazing |
| 18029s | yeah what was the uh the hero that won |
| 18032s | twice |
| 18035s | didn't different here oh sorry we're all |
| 18038s | right sorry it was a double negative |
| 18039s | yeah okay I just got confused okay yeah |
| 18041s | I think that's what I actually meant to |
| 18043s | say I thought I meant to say that it |
| 18044s | would be oh well as oh my goodness look |
| 18047s | at that oh I've actually winning |
| 18054s | a little bit but uh there's still time |
| 18057s | tomorrow you know I had the barrels |
| 18059s | blessing on my slide I missed a |
| 18061s | bandwagon so that that whatever you know |
| 18064s | with that we'll get there we'll get |
| 18067s | there |
| 18069s | I uh lots of time left including for |
| 18071s | these players too that's correct I don't |
| 18074s | know what's more embarrassing losing to |
| 18076s | me or losing to like being worse than |
| 18078s | just complete Randomness because that's |
| 18080s | effectively what I did I was just going |
| 18081s | for the throwing darts of board strategy |
| 18084s | here and uh somehow I managed to work |
| 18086s | out |
| 18087s | sometimes that works hey you know |
| 18089s | everything sometimes just comes down to |
| 18091s | a little bit of RNG we had a few players |
| 18094s | that that had luck on their side you |
| 18096s | know skill obviously a big factor for |
| 18099s | all of them but uh |
| 18101s | we'll see if they can bring it forward |
| 18102s | to tomorrow where it's the check format |
| 18104s | I'm so excited I oh yeah I'm in love |
| 18107s | with the check for me I I'll admit that |
| 18109s | when it was announced I had my doubts |
| 18111s | but as soon as I saw the first |
| 18113s | tournament I was taken and I can't |
| 18115s | imagine you know not not having the |
| 18118s | finals in the check format now I've been |
| 18120s | I've been sold |
| 18121s | couldn't agree more and we'll see how |
| 18123s | all of our players deal with that very |
| 18125s | different tournament meta once check is |
| 18127s | in Mario because for today we are all |
| 18130s | done so thank you so much for watching |
