| 894s | hello everyone and welcome to Lobby |
| 897s | Legends spring Championship day two I'm |
| 900s | Raven joining me once again of course is |
| 902s | subtle and we've got plenty more action |
| 904s | coming up for you guys today so welcome |
| 907s | once again to another day of Lobby |
| 908s | Legends uh what a day we had yesterday |
| 911s | yeah really good honestly I think one of |
| 913s | the most enjoyable first days that I can |
| 914s | remember in a Lobby Legends |
| 917s | um primarily because of the variation I |
| 918s | think every every game seemed markedly |
| 921s | different from the previous one we had |
| 922s | different comps winning we had different |
| 924s | players performing we had different |
| 925s | Lobby makeups different styles of games |
| 927s | as well and so I had a really good time |
| 929s | with day one but obviously day two is |
| 932s | where the rubber hits the road this is |
| 933s | where the player is now playing in the |
| 935s | final Lobby for the big money as well |
| 937s | and we can take a look at some of those |
| 939s | lobbies that we played out yesterday as |
| 941s | they were take worth taking another look |
| 943s | at |
| 943s | yeah we had a mixed bag of a loads of |
| 946s | different minion types and styles |
| 947s | winning games doing well in lobbies |
| 949s | overall and we saw everything right we |
| 952s | kicked it off with some Pirates we saw |
| 953s | tomb get a lot of work done with this |
| 955s | shoulder walk in this uh game too as |
| 957s | well which was really impressive to him |
| 959s | definitely one of the players that stood |
| 961s | out to me as a player maybe going into |
| 962s | this I did not think it was really gonna |
| 964s | stick out too much but it's definitely |
| 966s | impressed in day one |
| 968s | yeah absolutely very high Tempo focused |
| 971s | uh style you know a couple of points |
| 972s | where I disagreed with the lines and but |
| 975s | clearly they were very focused on just |
| 976s | max Tempo Max stats Staying Alive making |
| 978s | top fours did that very consistently and |
| 981s | as you can see won the group in group a |
| 983s | because of those consistent finishes as |
| 985s | well as picking up uh the win off a |
| 987s | massive I believe that was the shadow |
| 989s | walk Spike game right with the early |
| 990s | triples and everything else |
| 993s | um but then just Consolidated that with |
| 994s | a three and a half and a four really uh |
| 996s | very Tempo focused style overall and |
| 998s | then this uh Lobby was absolutely crazy |
| 1000s | overall satellite in the end taking it |
| 1003s | home all four qualifiers out of Lobby B |
| 1006s | all hailing from Japan yeah one of those |
| 1010s | players qualifying from Japan as well |
| 1011s | was yanase who I think impressed both of |
| 1014s | us Raven with just the the high risk |
| 1016s | High reward style of play yeah this is |
| 1019s | probably the highlight of yesterday for |
| 1021s | me and I know for you subtle as someone |
| 1022s | who really values these kind of high |
| 1024s | value plays look at this turn all the |
| 1027s | peggies you can ever won in your life |
| 1029s | with the help of those rivenders and |
| 1031s | you're going to say on one Health really |
| 1033s | cashed in on this right and really made |
| 1034s | use of that power Spike and ended up |
| 1036s | winning the game yeah one Health greets |
| 1039s | it out with double Baron and a radio |
| 1041s | star on the board then you can see uh |
| 1043s | how it started how it's going winning |
| 1045s | the lobby with that one Health still |
| 1047s | intact and ended up securing a place in |
| 1050s | the finals Lobby we'll be seeing more of |
| 1052s | Jana say today and as I mentioned do you |
| 1054s | want to say is someone I featured very |
| 1055s | heavily in a Lobby Legends creative |
| 1056s | video before so I've been very up close |
| 1058s | and personal uh with some of his plays |
| 1060s | and he is he's a shoot for the stars |
| 1062s | kind of player overall so I'm a big big |
| 1064s | fan of him yeah and as we've talked |
| 1066s | about yesterday we can now talk about |
| 1068s | what's on the plan for today we took the |
| 1070s | top four players from the two lobbies |
| 1072s | yesterday stuck them together to make an |
| 1075s | a person Lobby today and that is |
| 1077s | basically your top eight for the |
| 1078s | tournament so far but they've still got |
| 1080s | a lot of work to do subtle of course you |
| 1083s | spoke about Janice but there's players |
| 1085s | like satellite in there tomb got in |
| 1086s | there as well but we do have things |
| 1088s | working a little bit different it's not |
| 1090s | going to be just three games today we |
| 1093s | are going to play until we have a |
| 1095s | champion but what does that involve |
| 1096s | subtle it involves a little thing that |
| 1099s | we call check format which is a way of |
| 1102s | adding a little bit of drama to this |
| 1104s | final day and particularly when you're |
| 1106s | doing you know most points wins in a |
| 1108s | kind of situation you can end up with |
| 1109s | someone winning the tournament by |
| 1111s | finishing seventh right and they picked |
| 1113s | up the one point that they needed to win |
| 1115s | the tournament |
| 1116s | um which seems a little bit |
| 1116s | anticlimactic so how check works is that |
| 1119s | you have a set of points you have to |
| 1121s | reach which is 20. so let's say a player |
| 1124s | let's say Jana say plays out of his mind |
| 1126s | first three games spikes win conditions |
| 1128s | wins the first three games has 21 points |
| 1130s | at that point but all that's done is now |
| 1133s | made them eligible to win the tournament |
| 1135s | they have the lobby in check as we are |
| 1137s | referring it to it by by Crossing that |
| 1140s | 20 point threshold any player that has |
| 1142s | crossed the 20-point threshold then must |
| 1145s | win another game to end the tournament |
| 1148s | and be declared champion and at that |
| 1150s | point you then resolve the remaining |
| 1153s | placements by who has the most points |
| 1155s | after that and so that might sound like |
| 1157s | a lot to take in it is a very intuitive |
| 1159s | when uh when you get used to it |
| 1161s | basically Step One reach 20 points step |
| 1163s | two win another game and then the |
| 1164s | tournament ends and you are declared the |
| 1166s | champion and I think just to throw it |
| 1168s | out there because it's probably the |
| 1169s | first question people unfamiliar with |
| 1171s | the format uh we'll ask is you cannot |
| 1174s | cross the 20 points and win in the same |
| 1177s | game you have to cross the 20 points |
| 1179s | then your next game you are eligible to |
| 1181s | win even if you're way past 20 points |
| 1183s | for whatever reason right like 19 and |
| 1185s | then you win you still have that one |
| 1187s | more game so there won't be any big |
| 1189s | surprise out of nowhere winners we will |
| 1191s | know who is eligible to win at any given |
| 1194s | game very exciting format you love to |
| 1196s | see it because you really do see players |
| 1199s | alter certain approaches to each game |
| 1201s | because oh I only need two points to get |
| 1203s | into check I'll go for it and let's take |
| 1205s | a look at the tavern buddy results this |
| 1207s | is um well it's a good thing and a Bad |
| 1209s | Thing depending on if your name is Raven |
| 1211s | or not um I did not do so well yesterday |
| 1214s | I think I did okay you've you've done |
| 1216s | this before this is my first time so so |
| 1219s | um I think I did okay here but I've got |
| 1221s | a lot of work to do today yeah I mean I |
| 1224s | think it would have been like I was |
| 1226s | talking to you before and like you |
| 1227s | really had nothing to lose in this |
| 1228s | situation because I've won by a pretty |
| 1230s | healthy margin and we're sort of looking |
| 1232s | at it going yeah now we kind of expected |
| 1234s | that to happen whereas if by some |
| 1235s | miracle you had defeated me yesterday |
| 1237s | I'd still be hearing about it in six |
| 1240s | months time oh yeah sure so uh yeah very |
| 1242s | very little to lose I think just worried |
| 1244s | that twitch chat are now going to divide |
| 1246s | themselves into subtles and Ravens and |
| 1248s | this is the scores they're going to use |
| 1249s | to do so so we'll have to see how that |
| 1251s | one pans out but unfortunately there was |
| 1253s | an extra uh hurdle for me as the loser |
| 1257s | we did set a challenge as uh whoever won |
| 1260s | the well the loser I guess had to write |
| 1263s | a speech but I decided to make it a bit |
| 1265s | of a poem instead I thought speech would |
| 1267s | be too much so are you ready Saul |
| 1270s | oh I was born ready please baby me a |
| 1273s | praise Raven okay are you ready here we |
| 1276s | go |
| 1277s | he casts like a beast and plays like a |
| 1280s | demon |
| 1281s | his stats are so high we should call him |
| 1284s | Bremen |
| 1286s | he prints minions that's our gold while |
| 1289s | educating on the mic |
| 1291s | he beat me in the challenge so I have to |
| 1293s | acknowledge his might |
| 1295s | if you want to get better then make sure |
| 1297s | it's him you study because subtle is |
| 1300s | truly the best Tavern buddy |
| 1303s | there you go |
| 1305s | that that was actually wasn't bad you |
| 1308s | know |
| 1309s | all I can Hope for not terrible but |
| 1312s | there you go I'm not sure how I feel |
| 1314s | about Mike and Mike I know I didn't like |
| 1316s | that either I didn't like that either |
| 1318s | but I tried I did my best anyway if you |
| 1320s | can write better poems by all means let |
| 1322s | us know because you probably can it |
| 1324s | wasn't great but I did my best but |
| 1326s | regardless uh let's go and talk about |
| 1328s | the fantasy picks to see if I can |
| 1330s | actually do uh any better overall |
| 1333s | um oh no sorry we have day two puzzle |
| 1335s | box first I apologies about that we need |
| 1337s | we get new questions so I did forget |
| 1339s | I'll be honest yes we do |
| 1342s | um so new set of questions for day two |
| 1344s | again if you're not familiar with how uh |
| 1345s | what what we're talking about what |
| 1347s | Tavern buddy is to Twitch extension so |
| 1349s | if you can head over to twitch.tv if |
| 1351s | you're watching on other platforms you |
| 1352s | want to take part on this uh you'll see |
| 1354s | a little uh overlay on the twitch player |
| 1356s | where you can uh involve yourself in |
| 1358s | this and just play for some imaginary |
| 1359s | points a little bit of interactivity |
| 1361s | during the tournament starting with |
| 1363s | answering these six questions about the |
| 1365s | day |
| 1366s | um and we're pretty much in line today |
| 1368s | Raven that's good news for you isn't it |
| 1370s | oh well I guess so yeah and uh we yeah |
| 1374s | we did do these separately as well it's |
| 1376s | not like we both knew what we were all |
| 1377s | gonna put but uh for me I've really uh |
| 1379s | the big difference of course being will |
| 1381s | we play more than seven games today and |
| 1384s | that is a tricky one because I think a |
| 1385s | lot or at least a reasonable amount of |
| 1387s | historic Lobby Legends have gone around |
| 1389s | the seven to eight ish Mark right so |
| 1392s | that is really a tough one yeah six to |
| 1394s | eight is where a huge chunk of the |
| 1395s | average I think breaks down uh 14 is the |
| 1398s | theoretical maximum number of game games |
| 1400s | we can play but that is a like absolute |
| 1402s | Incredible One in a Million type shot uh |
| 1405s | four being the absolute minimum at the |
| 1407s | other end so somewhere in the six to |
| 1409s | eight range is where things are normally |
| 1411s | live people at home want a little bit of |
| 1413s | extra information about that |
| 1415s | um outside of that I think uh games |
| 1416s | being won by different Heroes is kind of |
| 1418s | an interesting question as well same |
| 1420s | similar sort of thing to different |
| 1421s | players winning a game obviously those |
| 1423s | kind of tie into your initial question |
| 1425s | right if you think there's going to be |
| 1427s | lots of games then that affects your |
| 1430s | answer for those other two things it |
| 1431s | makes you sure more or less likely |
| 1434s | um and then we've got a I like the last |
| 1436s | question a lot as well player will a |
| 1438s | player reach tab in tier six by turn |
| 1439s | eight there's a lot of hyper economy |
| 1442s | available in the game right now with uh |
| 1444s | shell collector with Radio Star with |
| 1446s | lots of different ways to print extra |
| 1448s | gold for yourselves in the early turns |
| 1449s | so I think that's a very interesting one |
| 1451s | as well but uh Raven and I have both |
| 1453s | chosen to be non-believers yeah for me |
| 1456s | it's purely because of the strength of |
| 1457s | Tavern tier 4 and even arguably five |
| 1459s | right I just think that the ability to |
| 1462s | sit on them and still have a big impact |
| 1463s | in the game is huge but I definitely |
| 1466s | think that you know we could easily end |
| 1468s | today and we could both be wrong on this |
| 1470s | one because as you said there is a lot |
| 1471s | of shenanigans you can pull to really |
| 1473s | accelerate the game plan and then we're |
| 1475s | not even mentioning certain Heroes |
| 1478s | specifically that can help with that as |
| 1479s | well so we'll have to see on that one |
| 1481s | but yeah I'm feeling a little bit more |
| 1483s | confident and I think the big one for me |
| 1485s | is |
| 1486s | if I get if I don't hit the two |
| 1488s | bandwagons fine points sure but if I do |
| 1491s | hit two bandwagon winners I might even |
| 1493s | overtake you at that point |
| 1495s | yeah I mean very true very very true |
| 1497s | picking two bandwagon winners is very |
| 1500s | very difficult to do and again I suppose |
| 1502s | that is also tied into the number of |
| 1503s | games that we end up playing as well |
| 1505s | right played into the initial question |
| 1506s | at the same time yeah really good |
| 1508s | question sir I think everyone believe |
| 1509s | now we can we can go and take a look at |
| 1511s | what the fancy picks look like again |
| 1513s | just to go over it once more we did get |
| 1515s | to pick three players uh to join your |
| 1518s | fantasy team we did it yesterday but of |
| 1520s | course now we have a new Lobby of eight |
| 1521s | players today and uh what have you gone |
| 1523s | with sir do you want to go through your |
| 1525s | choices even though they were fairly |
| 1526s | similar to like yesterday yeah yanase |
| 1528s | has made the team again big Yana so fan |
| 1531s | you saw yesterday exactly why that is |
| 1533s | very very similar greedy play style that |
| 1535s | I have uh Penguins on makes the list as |
| 1537s | well because |
| 1539s | um just incredible consistency repeat |
| 1541s | repeat repeat Battlegrounds competitor |
| 1543s | and a former winner as well and then |
| 1545s | beat about it I think if we want to |
| 1547s | stray outside the region of Japan which |
| 1550s | I did want to do for one of the picks uh |
| 1552s | beat about it kind of felt like the the |
| 1554s | most renowned player to go for in that |
| 1556s | list but I will say I did have a hard |
| 1559s | time leaving tomb off my list based on |
| 1561s | the play from yesterday because tomb |
| 1563s | feels like that kind of safe pick that |
| 1565s | will get you a few points right it |
| 1566s | doesn't feel like they're going to |
| 1568s | finish eight in this tournament from the |
| 1569s | way they played yesterday yeah I was |
| 1572s | with you on the NSA I think satellites |
| 1573s | played extremely well as well and for me |
| 1575s | I mentioned a couple times but I think |
| 1577s | tomb just came out the gates yesterday I |
| 1578s | think it looked great so I'm really |
| 1580s | excited to see what they can do in this |
| 1581s | especially when we naturally have a |
| 1583s | longer format because you simply cannot |
| 1586s | win in three games right so it can't |
| 1589s | happen so we are going to see at least |
| 1591s | four onwards so I'm pretty excited to |
| 1593s | see how this one goes but we saw a lot |
| 1596s | of different builds a lot of everything |
| 1597s | you know going on yesterday how do you |
| 1600s | think the format or will the format |
| 1603s | affect some of the approaches from these |
| 1605s | players are we going to see more |
| 1607s | aggressive strategies early on just to |
| 1609s | try and back points quickly are we going |
| 1611s | to see players maybe early on going for |
| 1612s | the crazy strategies to try and get an |
| 1614s | actual win to them Propel themselves |
| 1616s | forward towards those 20 points yeah I |
| 1619s | think it's it's really hard to elucidate |
| 1621s | in Battlegrounds because I think this is |
| 1622s | one of the hardest things to grasp it's |
| 1624s | probably the biggest difference between |
| 1626s | like a 10K player and a 13k player like |
| 1628s | a Lobby Legends level player and a very |
| 1631s | good ladder player the difference one of |
| 1633s | the big differences between that is |
| 1634s | understanding match-up charts almost |
| 1637s | right where you get a Lobby you see the |
| 1639s | five minion types that are in and a good |
| 1642s | player will be like okay this is the |
| 1644s | good strategy this is the good strategy |
| 1645s | I'll try and go for this a great player |
| 1648s | will then understand well hang on |
| 1650s | because mexit in that makes this minion |
| 1653s | type worse or it makes this minion type |
| 1655s | better because they actually understand |
| 1656s | the matchups between the individual |
| 1658s | minion types themselves and that then |
| 1661s | gets complicated even further by the |
| 1664s | tournament format that you're talking |
| 1665s | about right because you have to not |
| 1666s | understand and just understand what's |
| 1668s | the best play for average MMR in this |
| 1671s | Lobby you have to understand what's the |
| 1673s | best play for game state in this Lobby |
| 1675s | right I need X points I need a win I |
| 1678s | have the Lobby in check I need to high |
| 1680s | roll and Spike and find a win condition |
| 1681s | or I'm on 18 points I just need to not |
| 1684s | get eighth this long yeah and then I put |
| 1687s | the lobby into check and that all adds |
| 1689s | another level of modifier to all of |
| 1691s | those start of game decisions about what |
| 1693s | you're looking to play over the course |
| 1695s | of the game so it's a really really |
| 1697s | difficult skill to master for sure |
| 1698s | there's even the spicier element when we |
| 1700s | get a little bit later on in the day |
| 1702s | where oh my next fight against someone |
| 1704s | who has got the lobbying check what can |
| 1706s | I do to kill them so they cannot win |
| 1709s | because once they win the tournament |
| 1711s | stops it's done so there's definitely |
| 1713s | elements of that as well and all that |
| 1715s | sort of meshes together and we see some |
| 1717s | air players perform somewhere pretty |
| 1719s | cool strategies or at least their |
| 1720s | overall plays and we are getting the |
| 1722s | players ready oh sorry Gonzo I was just |
| 1724s | going to say we do get questions about |
| 1725s | that as well that stuff is all totally |
| 1727s | legal as well anything anything that you |
| 1730s | can do that can be shown to be in your |
| 1731s | own self-interest as the player in this |
| 1733s | tournament is perfectly fine as long as |
| 1735s | there's no like collusion between |
| 1736s | players in the tournament so |
| 1738s | um if you just want to you know throw |
| 1740s | your board even like sell everything |
| 1742s | you've got so the player who doesn't end |
| 1745s | have the lobby in check beats you and |
| 1747s | therefore has a position to to win the |
| 1749s | fight against the person who does have |
| 1751s | the lobbying check for example that's a |
| 1753s | thing you're perfectly allowed to do if |
| 1754s | that's a decision you make of your own |
| 1755s | fruition |
| 1761s | let's take a look at some of the cards |
| 1764s | uh that make the impactful today and |
| 1766s | we're gonna check out some of the others |
| 1767s | from yesterday but take us through some |
| 1769s | of the the highlights here so because I |
| 1771s | know you're big at Jakari enchanter fan |
| 1772s | I am yeah um we're very much into the B |
| 1775s | team now though I would say like we had |
| 1777s | the we had the star performers yesterday |
| 1779s | uh with with rylack and the likes in |
| 1781s | there |
| 1782s | um but Jakari enchanter I think |
| 1783s | definitely has a chance of making that |
| 1785s | list uh I had a game earlier uh where I |
| 1788s | murdered Sun Glitters and I think might |
| 1790s | have made her stop streaming |
| 1790s | Battlegrounds I'm not sure |
| 1792s | um |
| 1793s | a golden brand and four Calor Gas on |
| 1796s | turn 10 through essentially use of |
| 1798s | dracari enchanter and Duos right because |
| 1800s | you can then get so many quick copies of |
| 1803s | everything by stacking those things up |
| 1805s | um that's really really powerful as a |
| 1808s | base strategy but also there are just a |
| 1809s | lot more end of turn effects in the game |
| 1811s | right now that work really nicely with |
| 1812s | Jakari enchanter uh prickly Piper and |
| 1815s | malcazar though kind of thrown in here |
| 1816s | or as little tech cards overall like |
| 1819s | prickly Piper is a very strong card that |
| 1821s | can build you into some heavy Tempo |
| 1823s | early with quilbore if you get there |
| 1824s | early but malcazar I think is a |
| 1827s | particularly interesting card because we |
| 1828s | saw this yesterday where players weren't |
| 1831s | playing demons they had no real |
| 1834s | Ambitions of ever playing demons but |
| 1836s | they were just buying malkazar just to |
| 1838s | gain a couple of gold in rolls |
| 1840s | essentially in the mid game right use |
| 1841s | that Health as a resource try and gain |
| 1843s | some plus gold in that situation and |
| 1845s | then sell it out once they were scared |
| 1847s | of hitting certain break points with |
| 1848s | their health total so I think malcolor |
| 1850s | is a very very interesting card to try |
| 1852s | and manipulate in those early games |
| 1854s | especially because of the way it works |
| 1856s | where you can continue to chain them |
| 1858s | right like you have one malcazar you |
| 1860s | roll you find another malkazar that |
| 1862s | malcolor is then still active so you can |
| 1864s | then buy that right they'll get more |
| 1865s | rolls and so on |
| 1867s | um so you can cheat an awful lot of gold |
| 1869s | obviously if you do have the the rewind |
| 1871s | demon that helps a lot because you do |
| 1873s | preserve hell total but don't be |
| 1874s | surprised if you see people just setting |
| 1877s | their health total on fire just taking |
| 1879s | free rolls from Alcazar just to save |
| 1881s | gold because gold is much more important |
| 1883s | than health in this game yeah it's |
| 1885s | something I've been uh trying to force a |
| 1887s | bit more in my own gameplay where if and |
| 1889s | I generally doing it on the easy choices |
| 1891s | where whether you've got a lot of health |
| 1892s | so yeah you can lose a couple of Health |
| 1894s | at turn it's probably not going to |
| 1896s | change too much or you're on like four |
| 1898s | and you know well okay well if I lose a |
| 1900s | fight I've lost a fight anyway I may as |
| 1902s | well go down to one and three rolls you |
| 1905s | know you notice because some minions |
| 1906s | create free roles in the game and |
| 1908s | they're sought after right so like free |
| 1910s | roles where you get to just refresh the |
| 1911s | shop and it costs you zero money is |
| 1913s | actually a really big deal so it's one |
| 1916s | of the the newer minions to the game |
| 1917s | that I really like that sort of idea of |
| 1919s | well okay you can save money and |
| 1921s | sacrifice this but it is for something |
| 1923s | valuable it's not you know like a sort |
| 1925s | of I would say it's not like a cheap |
| 1926s | gimmick thing that is pretty Niche it is |
| 1928s | just something that's like yeah you can |
| 1930s | just have two more gold this turn if you |
| 1932s | want it's your choice right and I think |
| 1934s | giving players those options like we saw |
| 1936s | yesterday a couple of play use it as you |
| 1937s | said without demons is kind of cool |
| 1939s | because it just gives good players |
| 1942s | especially more options per shop right |
| 1945s | which is something I like a lot yeah |
| 1947s | definitely a big deal particularly in |
| 1949s | certain kinds of lobbies because there's |
| 1951s | a difference sometimes between like |
| 1953s | economy builds and rolling builds and |
| 1955s | which is kind of hard to explain |
| 1956s | sometimes like for example uh bananas |
| 1959s | with beasts right that's a rolling comp |
| 1961s | you just roll and look for more banana |
| 1963s | Slammers more reborn bees blanchies you |
| 1966s | want specific pieces you roll until you |
| 1968s | hit them and then you play them whereas |
| 1971s | something like infinite Elementals or |
| 1972s | infinite Pirates or you know brand |
| 1974s | murlocs as it used to be not so much now |
| 1977s | that's more of an economy comp where you |
| 1979s | just buy sell the things that you see in |
| 1981s | the shop right and you don't roll that |
| 1983s | much you just kind of Buy sell stuff and |
| 1984s | generate economy so if you are looking |
| 1987s | for a a rolling build you know they're |
| 1989s | just trying to roll through the shot |
| 1991s | beasts are in your lobby with demons and |
| 1992s | you're just desperately trying to find |
| 1994s | more banana Slammers then yeah |
| 1995s | malcazar's a great card that you can |
| 1997s | throw in there just to pay a few health |
| 1998s | here and there to try and look uh take |
| 2000s | dig an extra couple of turns for those |
| 2003s | crucial pieces especially in this kind |
| 2005s | of meta in this tournament meta as well |
| 2007s | right because um you will want those |
| 2009s | extra rolls because if you just get |
| 2011s | there a turn ahead of say someone else |
| 2013s | who's going for a similar thing you are |
| 2015s | just stronger so you're likely to be |
| 2016s | able to kill them and so as you guys |
| 2018s | will have noticed we're not quite in |
| 2020s | game number one yet we are having |
| 2021s | trouble getting one of the players in |
| 2022s | and we want to make sure everyone's good |
| 2024s | to go before we really kick off the day |
| 2026s | so we're gonna go to a quick break while |
| 2028s | we start this Tech issue don't go |
| 2029s | anywhere we'll be right back |
| 2035s | foreign |
| 2037s | [Music] |
| 2080s | thank you |
| 2083s | [Music] |
| 2097s | [Music] |
| 2104s | foreign |
| 2119s | [Music] |
| 2125s | [Music] |
| 2134s | thank you |
| 2149s | [Music] |
| 2166s | [Music] |
| 2172s | [Music] |
| 2173s | foreign |
| 2182s | [Music] |

| 2207s | [Music] |
| 2229s | [Music] |
| 2252s | foreign |
| 2260s | [Music] |
| 2282s | welcome back sorry about the slight |
| 2285s | delay there and we have managed to sort |
| 2287s | it out so it looks I'll be able to get |
| 2288s | into the first game very very quickly |
| 2290s | indeed again just we have some small |
| 2293s | Tech issues but I'll make sure every |
| 2294s | player is good to go so we don't have to |
| 2297s | restart any games but you know when |
| 2298s | we're a few turns in which would be a |
| 2300s | bit of a disaster so salt are you ready |
| 2302s | for this one what are you hoping to see |
| 2303s | in game one |
| 2304s | yeah it's hard to say because normally |
| 2307s | the answer to that question is something |
| 2309s | that we didn't see on day one right like |
| 2311s | that's generally been the go-to answer |
| 2313s | when we've led into this on day twos of |
| 2316s | these Bobby Legends tournaments but we |
| 2318s | we really run together on on day one we |
| 2320s | saw all basically all of the major boxes |
| 2322s | were checked I would say |
| 2324s | um did get reminded towards the end of |
| 2325s | the day that we didn't really see uh |
| 2327s | deep blue crooners do particularly well |
| 2328s | like there's SD card overall so maybe |
| 2331s | seeing a nice endgame variation of that |
| 2334s | would be pretty fun but overall I think |
| 2336s | just more of the same will do me just |
| 2338s | fine thank you very much okay well no |
| 2340s | beasts so far in this one I guess so |
| 2344s | that's gonna be something just to make |
| 2345s | an instant note of I know we're seeing |
| 2347s | their players lock in and remember when |
| 2349s | I said about the uh turn eight tier six |
| 2353s | I was thinking of omu as something that |
| 2355s | could cause us some trouble in those uh |
| 2357s | in those guesses so and then Mega Alex |
| 2359s | has gone omu for this game and I think |
| 2361s | we've got a galley whips there as well |
| 2363s | which I've been seeing uh seeing of |
| 2365s | popularity on recently |
| 2371s | meanwhile good old tomb sat here on the |
| 2374s | uh on the pyramid which again we have or |
| 2376s | I have made this characterization based |
| 2378s | on a three-game sample size that tomb is |
| 2380s | a very heavy Tempo player uh but that |
| 2382s | does seem to fit in with the the pyramid |
| 2384s | Choice there as well |
| 2386s | and also when you get offered Your |
| 2387s | Heroes it could be a decision you just |
| 2389s | instantly make right where it's like oh |
| 2391s | my heroes are okay I've got a pyramid |
| 2393s | that's probably going to get me you know |
| 2395s | at least three or four points minimum |
| 2397s | right right so sure I'll bag three or |
| 2399s | four points game one and hope we get |
| 2401s | better Heroes rolls and next game so |
| 2403s | it's definitely something that can be uh |
| 2404s | decided upon straight away and we do |
| 2407s | have scabs we've got a lot of uh Heroes |
| 2409s | that can get some a pretty leafy turns |
| 2412s | kicked out we look at the satellite on |
| 2414s | the Varden we've also got this Gale Wing |
| 2416s | here as well for some discovers and then |
| 2418s | uh Galley Wix like I said earlier like |
| 2419s | gonna be pretty strong although no |
| 2422s | pirates in this uh in this game |
| 2425s | no pirates in this game just yet but |
| 2428s | there was a settlemental start for a |
| 2430s | gallywix which is you know at the very |
| 2432s | least uh fairly decent going |
| 2435s | um interest as to what the scab start |
| 2436s | could end up being here as well because |
| 2438s | scabs is facing someone who they'll be |
| 2441s | able to read does not have a token so |
| 2442s | depending on whether scabs has a token |
| 2444s | themselves it really affects the |
| 2446s | leveling curve here and we just saw |
| 2447s | scabs go two on two uh for beta Babbitt |
| 2450s | which means yes you can see either uh |
| 2452s | beta does not have a token he knows his |
| 2453s | opponent does not have a token because |
| 2455s | they are reading mechs so there's no way |
| 2457s | to uh kind of get a cheat curve going |
| 2459s | with the extra Tempo start from scabs |
| 2461s | just has to level on two and then |
| 2462s | probably go here a power Buy on turn |
| 2464s | three |
| 2466s | reminder as well uh this will be the |
| 2468s | first bandwagon opportunity of the day |
| 2470s | another feature of the tavern Buddy app |
| 2472s | you'll have until the end of turn four |
| 2474s | so another two uh full turns from here |
| 2476s | to pick the player that you think is |
| 2478s | going to win the lobby you can change |
| 2480s | your mind as many times as you want but |
| 2482s | the earlier you lock your choice in the |
| 2484s | more points you will end up getting |
| 2486s | yep so already trying to uh cheese this |
| 2489s | out against me because he forgot to |
| 2491s | remind me until turn two was over so |
| 2493s | yeah there you go |
| 2495s | what am I your babysitter underhanded |
| 2498s | tactics that's all I'm saying throwing |
| 2500s | it out there look I don't have to praise |
| 2501s | you anymore so I did my poem yeah that's |
| 2504s | true actually it feels like the uh the |
| 2507s | positive sentiment towards me is now |
| 2509s | done for at least three months that's |
| 2511s | right I've completed my obligation right |
| 2513s | yes |
| 2516s | hello satellite oh not a bad pair to |
| 2519s | have sat in the shop as well silent |
| 2521s | wants to keep this on up yeah he's gonna |
| 2523s | go for the freeze and that could be a |
| 2525s | lot of stats stacked quickly yeah so the |
| 2528s | way this works the tavern has to be |
| 2529s | refreshed for Virgin hero power to fire |
| 2533s | um refreshing a Tavern qualifies as one |
| 2535s | or more new minions appearing in that |
| 2537s | Tavern so you can't just freeze a full |
| 2539s | Tavern uh and duplicate things so |
| 2541s | satellite buying two from that shop of |
| 2543s | course means that now they get a second |
| 2546s | shot at trying to get this flutist |
| 2547s | triple on the following turn and I would |
| 2550s | say if this triple does appear on this |
| 2552s | turn uh satellite is in a very very good |
| 2555s | position this game if you're interested |
| 2557s | in a bandwagon piece miss it though the |
| 2559s | way the shop was frozen only going to be |
| 2561s | a one in three at best if a one drop |
| 2563s | appeared in the final slot getting the |
| 2565s | flutist triple and uh do you like the |
| 2568s | look of picking up the flu test and |
| 2570s | maybe I don't know even like the the |
| 2571s | pirate just to get the buff on him yes |
| 2575s | something's got to be held in hand right |
| 2576s | it's whether or not you want to abandon |
| 2579s | this hope for a triple on the flutist it |
| 2581s | does start to get very very unlikely |
| 2584s | over time because you know the shop |
| 2586s | fills up with other two drops being |
| 2587s | duplicated once you've missed once so |
| 2589s | it's kind of hard to uh to bring it back |
| 2591s | down so I think you probably will end up |
| 2594s | buying the second flutist here but you |
| 2596s | could still okay it's gonna say you |
| 2598s | could buy two of the things that you |
| 2600s | don't have pairs of or say one of the |
| 2602s | undead and the two three pirate and then |
| 2604s | freeze again and give yourself a double |
| 2606s | shot potentially a train triple out of |
| 2609s | it is a way to do it but I think one of |
| 2612s | the ways you can end up getting fat |
| 2613s | eights with Garden is just focusing too |
| 2616s | much on trying to hit these early |
| 2617s | triples I think generally you just let |
| 2620s | it fire and if it hits it hits if it |
| 2621s | doesn't you move on and I like that |
| 2623s | that's the choice that satellite is |
| 2625s | going for it |
| 2626s | yeah you kind of stopped playing the |
| 2628s | game sometimes right yeah you're playing |
| 2630s | your own mini game then you realize |
| 2631s | that's not how you win it's gonna be a |
| 2634s | draw now for uh for Mega Alex already |
| 2637s | has some sort of stacking and and a |
| 2639s | stacking potential later on as well |
| 2641s | which is going to be pretty scary |
| 2649s | are we going to six straight away game |
| 2652s | one me I I feel like with this open he's |
| 2655s | probably strong enough not like of now |
| 2657s | of course but to get there quickly right |
| 2659s | yeah this is the big problem about why |
| 2661s | six on eight is a big proposition is the |
| 2663s | The Tavern inflation cost to go to five |
| 2666s | right which came in a few patches ago |
| 2669s | um you can't really level to five on |
| 2672s | eight gold unless you are monstrously |
| 2674s | strong and sell off like two minions |
| 2676s | from your board on the same turn so it's |
| 2678s | a little bit awkward to do but we will |
| 2680s | see throughout the day whether anyone |
| 2681s | can make it happen |
| 2683s | good little start from Janice here |
| 2685s | though just getting those mechs and all |
| 2686s | the resets he could ever want already |
| 2688s | [Music] |
| 2690s | so satellite here I believe we cut away |
| 2692s | uh they just naturally rolled into the |
| 2694s | flutist triple the only thing that was |
| 2696s | frozen in the shop from the previous |
| 2697s | term was the solitary copy of the undead |
| 2700s | and they just naturally rolled into a |
| 2702s | triple on the flutist and looks like |
| 2703s | they're gonna hold on to a Skype in here |
| 2705s | for a bit of extra value |
| 2706s | yeah I think |
| 2708s | is there like a hidden triple behind |
| 2710s | here hey Triple A hidden buff you're |
| 2713s | doing great out there |
| 2715s | or would it still show for what I'll |
| 2717s | know for the fluted no the lightning |
| 2719s | bolt would still activate even if oh |
| 2720s | yeah yeah it still shows yeah okay okay |
| 2732s | this fight is not really going to plan |
| 2735s | here though |
| 2738s | spank the tie in the end I think both |
| 2740s | players will be relatively happy with |
| 2741s | that both players actually setting up |
| 2743s | quite nicely for some mid-game scaling |
| 2745s | and still at maximum health as well so |
| 2747s | both players will be pretty pleased |
| 2748s | about that overall |
| 2752s | huh |
| 2756s | tough choice actually because you're set |
| 2759s | up quite nicely for a scrap scraper here |
| 2762s | if you just want to take a look at it |
| 2763s | immediately for a fall |
| 2765s | it's one of the weird problems I found |
| 2767s | myself in even early today when I was |
| 2769s | playing some mechs where I had the |
| 2771s | triple and I was very comfortable to |
| 2774s | level and triple but then I sat there |
| 2775s | thinking hang on a minute I'm going into |
| 2777s | a five do I really want a five instead |
| 2779s | of a four |
| 2781s | when someone says yes though again I do |
| 2784s | think this is a good decision |
| 2787s | um overall because I've made this |
| 2788s | mistake a couple of times since Max were |
| 2790s | revealed I do I think like before you |
| 2792s | have a deflecto and a couple of resets |
| 2794s | right I'm Max like that's a reasonable |
| 2796s | decision to make at this point but I |
| 2798s | think the way Max work now this is too |
| 2800s | early to decide your max so basing your |
| 2802s | whole game around trying to Triple into |
| 2804s | a scrap scraper probably a little bit |
| 2806s | ambitious |
| 2808s | um especially when the potential for uh |
| 2810s | bran calagos does still exist in this |
| 2812s | Lobby is like ultimately game scaling if |
| 2814s | you can get them and these picks are |
| 2816s | always when I find really really |
| 2817s | difficult where yeah okay so Edward's |
| 2820s | gone for the more just immediate value |
| 2821s | in sort of tempo but I always look at |
| 2823s | like drakari enchanter and just think |
| 2825s | I've got nothing that goes with it right |
| 2828s | now but it's so strong yeah |
| 2832s | yeah you pass the drakari enchanter and |
| 2835s | then your next shop just has duo in it |
| 2837s | on Tavern four and you're like oh |
| 2847s | still looks like it's going to be enough |
| 2849s | here at very least of Thai no guaranteed |
| 2851s | win from here for penguin so still ahead |
| 2853s | on Tempo even taking the slightly |
| 2855s | greedier triple into the five there |
| 2857s | looking pretty good for penguin |
| 2860s | foreign |
| 2863s | gold yeah no triples as of yet but still |
| 2867s | 35 health |
| 2869s | on galliwicks with a four gold extra |
| 2872s | bank is pretty pretty good pretty good |
| 2874s | going at this point |
| 2875s | [Music] |
| 2878s | honestly who has been taking all the |
| 2880s | damage this game is it like so many |
| 2882s | fights must have been draws because |
| 2884s | there's so many healthy players still |
| 2885s | hanging around turn seven I like where |
| 2887s | you're going with this |
| 2890s | Mega Alex JP Tavern five we are on turn |
| 2894s | seven right now |
| 2896s | true and also as well uh penguin's son |
| 2899s | just went up to five |
| 2903s | is it just gonna happen first game of |
| 2905s | the day I know yeah just straight away |
| 2907s | oh Duo |
| 2916s | yeah just good galleywixing anytime you |
| 2919s | see a uh a double cell type minion you |
| 2921s | should you're basically obligated to buy |
| 2923s | and sell it in pretty much every |
| 2925s | situation with gallywix it's just so |
| 2927s | much plus gold over the course of two |
| 2929s | turns |
| 2932s | oh hello there yeah |
| 2938s | not the best |
| 2940s | for the blanchy with the scale things |
| 2944s | oh no |
| 2946s | interesting okay we've seen a few people |
| 2948s | kind of value like not maybe value but |
| 2951s | utilize light fang over the course of |
| 2952s | the last day or so yeah yeah surprise me |
| 2955s | a little bit as well um you know you can |
| 2957s | pick it up every now and again just as a |
| 2959s | minion to have on your board for a turn |
| 2960s | or two and sell but uh strange to me |
| 2963s | that we've seen that situation come up |
| 2964s | twice already at the very least and the |
| 2967s | times we've watched just especially |
| 2968s | there with the flute and uh the scalp in |
| 2970s | and then when she being skipped was |
| 2972s | surprising right it's even just stuck in |
| 2974s | some stats on that that's a pretty |
| 2976s | relevant Tempo minion at worst this is a |
| 2979s | big Martin |
| 2981s | yep |
| 2989s | still look at the health still 44 Health |
| 2993s | subtle all the wiggle room in the world |
| 2997s | oh penguin Sun I think just got really |
| 2999s | uh I'll say punished for leveling up to |
| 3001s | five taking a hit there down to 26. oh |
| 3004s | oh that is the secure poison |
| 3010s | I believe it's pick your Venom now |
| 3012s | actually yeah sorry apologies apologies |
| 3014s | didn't know that they're saying had been |
| 3016s | officially changed |
| 3020s | oh there's your new favorite song it's |
| 3022s | all's become a bit of a trumpety |
| 3027s | yeah something that I I haven't |
| 3029s | successfully leaned into too much myself |
| 3031s | but something that I have gained respect |
| 3033s | for over the last couple of days uh is |
| 3035s | the the rock rock Gusty Trumpeter combo |
| 3038s | which I kind of dismissed for quite a |
| 3041s | long time but I've been in a position a |
| 3043s | couple of times now where they turned 10 |
| 3045s | 10 11 turn 12 somewhere around there |
| 3047s | I've been playing like Admiral Pirates |
| 3050s | and have you know a few hundred 150 200 |
| 3054s | level Minions on the board and think |
| 3056s | okay this game's a free win like I have |
| 3058s | a I have like a golden Admiral and |
| 3059s | another Admiral and I'm scaling and my |
| 3061s | minions are huge and then I just queue |
| 3063s | into Gusty Trumpeter rock rock |
| 3066s | Elementals and they just have a full |
| 3067s | Board of 300 300 so okay |
| 3071s | um maybe I'm underestimating this |
| 3072s | strategy a little bit so we'll be |
| 3074s | curious if we uh see any of that before |
| 3075s | the end of the day look at this point |
| 3077s | not as far from satellite just makes me |
| 3079s | laugh I'm thinking it looks like they're |
| 3081s | going to get the buff on the uh magma |
| 3083s | unlock but yeah really tricky when you |
| 3085s | look at the trumpeter and then you sit |
| 3086s | it next to like morrisoned and you're |
| 3088s | like well hang on a minute yeah |
| 3090s | Trumpeter probably is better than you |
| 3091s | initially thought if you compare it to |
| 3093s | that minion |
| 3101s | uh found his way into walking Fort here |
| 3105s | which is a little bit of an interesting |
| 3107s | setup another card that can of course |
| 3108s | benefit from the drakari that we were |
| 3111s | talking about earlier with those end of |
| 3112s | turn effects you mean penguin right |
| 3115s | penguin sorry yeah okay yeah it's like |
| 3119s | always look at the same screen but yeah |
| 3121s | penguin yeah look get in this sort of uh |
| 3123s | the fight back now after taking that |
| 3126s | early level up to five it's not too bad |
| 3127s | at all |
| 3129s | and we are safe Raven we are through |
| 3132s | turn eight and everyone is still down |
| 3135s | five |
| 3138s | it did look like it was a real |
| 3139s | possibility for game one of the day |
| 3140s | though right and primarily there was a |
| 3142s | couple of high economy Heroes but I |
| 3144s | think more so there were a lot of tied |
| 3147s | fights there were a lot of very very |
| 3148s | healthy people going through those early |
| 3150s | turns that probably felt like they can |
| 3152s | get away with a good bit of greed |
| 3154s | and look at this from Mega Alex now like |
| 3156s | you know the the Factory's live right |
| 3159s | now we're just getting all these mechs |
| 3161s | out yep |
| 3165s | oh |
| 3168s | Carl is also at least half interest into |
| 3172s | just pause and think about |
| 3177s | Kari is the big hit here as well with |
| 3179s | the Duos just set to go off right now |
| 3183s | doesn't find it in the end though |
| 3187s | start to think about where these |
| 3189s | magnetics are going to go if anywhere |
| 3193s | a little bit of a push pull on this |
| 3195s | because playing the menaces can get you |
| 3198s | a lot more extra juice from your scrap |
| 3200s | scraper itself but at the same time you |
| 3202s | have just gone to six so if you suddenly |
| 3204s | roll into polarizing beatboxer then that |
| 3207s | holding on to those magnetics for an |
| 3210s | extra turn suddenly you're doubling up |
| 3212s | on all your value or tripling up on all |
| 3214s | your value if you manage to hit a couple |
| 3215s | of and even though I know this is |
| 3217s | probably not you know a bit a little bit |
| 3218s | more Niche but the more magnetics you |
| 3221s | use the more likely you're going to win |
| 3223s | more which means your minions aren't |
| 3225s | dying to then give you Revenge procs |
| 3227s | right so like because Mega Alex is |
| 3229s | getting quite big with these now right |
| 3233s | gonna be going up against satellite |
| 3234s | though |
| 3236s | satellite has a magma lockari running |
| 3239s | now as well another very powerful Ender |
| 3241s | turn effect that you can get value from |
| 3243s | with the drakari enchanter |
| 3245s | but he's gonna get absolutely smacked on |
| 3247s | this turn I think Mega Alex just looking |
| 3249s | too big on Max right now and he's |
| 3251s | starting to pick up the annoyer modules |
| 3253s | which are the number one most crucial |
| 3255s | card for making this stuff work |
| 3256s | consistently |
| 3258s | yeah this is a lot of Both Worlds right |
| 3260s | slightly awkward attack order the one |
| 3262s | ones uh from the replicating men is |
| 3264s | falling behind the sequence of attacks |
| 3266s | so they didn't all get to chain in and |
| 3268s | potentially get another juice off the |
| 3270s | scrap scraper yeah still pretty good |
| 3272s | though because one convincingly and |
| 3275s | still generated extra Max right that's |
| 3277s | kind of that's kind of the the tightrope |
| 3280s | you want to walk on |
| 3281s | boogie monster for be a Babbitt as a |
| 3284s | triple into a six here is rocking some |
| 3286s | Duo as well I think himself could be |
| 3288s | doing with the Jakari uh can we have a |
| 3290s | gallywix update as well because I have a |
| 3291s | term one bandwagon on this tester in |
| 3293s | alleywix which is looking very very dead |
| 3297s | oh uh okay bandwagon one uh Mega Alex |
| 3303s | turn ten there we go all right right |
| 3306s | it's interesting I didn't know you could |
| 3308s | do that oh we're not off to a good start |
| 3310s | today Raven and by we I of course mean |
| 3312s | me which is the most important part of |
| 3315s | we |
| 3317s | cool Elementary surprise gives a free |
| 3320s | triple on anything he's Gonna Take It |
| 3325s | yeah I definitely think Tesoro is on the |
| 3327s | let's not go eighth plan right now which |
| 3330s | I think is a pretty good plan to enact |
| 3332s | double dracary |
| 3334s | not that it matters |
| 3340s | or HP |
| 3343s | look at all this stuff to sorry could |
| 3344s | have done they weren't Undead |
| 3349s | it's so close right double double |
| 3351s | Elemental of surprise you just hold out |
| 3353s | for a magma lock and then you have |
| 3354s | triple magma lock with Divine shield and |
| 3356s | then you've got two dracary enchanters |
| 3358s | the turn afterwards like if you could |
| 3360s | afford to just be a little bit more |
| 3361s | greedy you could have really really got |
| 3363s | something going here but yeah tesser is |
| 3365s | gonna have to fight for survival just |
| 3367s | with a little bit of Undead buffing |
| 3369s | going on and just hope and pray that we |
| 3372s | can get there but double straight shot |
| 3375s | oh I've never seen anything more rigged |
| 3378s | in my life come on what is happening |
| 3381s | it's like a whole lot of buffing for a |
| 3382s | whole lot of nothing right now because |
| 3384s | sherosa is just absolutely countering |
| 3386s | this |
| 3387s | it is also again not like this happens |
| 3390s | all the time but it's also one of the |
| 3391s | slight weaknesses oh no |
| 3395s | look for the weaknesses of Undead it's |
| 3397s | like if you see your opponents Undead |
| 3399s | you pretty much know exactly what |
| 3401s | they're doing yeah right so like you |
| 3403s | could say okay I'll just buy a couple of |
| 3405s | these and negate half their board let's |
| 3406s | go |
| 3408s | I think we're gonna see our first victim |
| 3410s | here subtle first victim of the day |
| 3413s | Sarah |
| 3413s | sells picks going uh out with the bank |
| 3416s | I'm fuming right |
| 3419s | literally couldn't have gone worse |
| 3421s | actually could not have gone worse |
| 3425s | you're gonna do him like that come on oh |
| 3429s | as I often do I'm gonna cheer you up a |
| 3431s | little bit my pick is now suddenly on |
| 3433s | nine health so also in a danger zone |
| 3436s | yeah they were full health Giga Tempo |
| 3438s | tripling a month last time we looked at |
| 3440s | them and yeah since then not doing great |
| 3446s | thank you |
| 3451s | penguin looking okay but this definitely |
| 3455s | looks like this board should have |
| 3456s | appeared like a couple of turns ago |
| 3458s | right you know just a it looks like the |
| 3460s | you getting Mex online now and it's |
| 3463s | turning 11. it's just a little bit too |
| 3464s | late to get to that winning glob there |
| 3467s | it is I was gonna say so two things |
| 3469s | first off they've got the fork scaling |
| 3470s | as well which is very nice yes they have |
| 3472s | scam reset potential with the deflectos |
| 3474s | and everything being taunted as well |
| 3476s | which is kind of nice |
| 3477s | um but most importantly this is just a |
| 3479s | board that's been begging for a dracari |
| 3481s | the whole game and now he's got a |
| 3483s | terrifying decision of he's right down |
| 3486s | in the danger zone at 7 HP can he afford |
| 3489s | to take that drakari and have a 1-5 on |
| 3491s | his board and I think the answer to that |
| 3492s | is yes because it still dumps more stats |
| 3494s | than anything else he can find this turn |
| 3496s | I think yeah picks it up just an update |
| 3499s | as well Mega Alex has got hold of a beat |
| 3501s | box so it is popping off so yep we might |
| 3505s | be looking at a nice early lead for Mega |
| 3507s | Alex here because from what I can see if |
| 3508s | they're bored it's looking quite strong |
| 3511s | yeah so yeah like this you Menace |
| 3514s | something that isn't the deflectos to |
| 3516s | try and maximize your scan potential |
| 3518s | right of them hitting into a Divine |
| 3519s | Shield then you drop a Mech or so on uh |
| 3522s | the base skill positioning is really |
| 3524s | hard though because this base skill |
| 3525s | actually is a reset as well |
| 3527s | um in a weird way it summons a candles |
| 3529s | which then summons more mechs uh so |
| 3532s | interesting as to how that one will pan |
| 3533s | out |
| 3536s | hey okay scan potential very high |
| 3539s | because this okay once |
| 3545s | oh unlucky still one though right |
| 3553s | and five plus four is on five right yeah |
| 3555s | that is exactly no |
| 3558s | I'm out |
| 3560s | so he's satellite |
| 3562s | CO2 illustrious experts to talk you |
| 3564s | through procedures for the day have |
| 3566s | managed to pick the eighth place player |
| 3568s | and the Seventh Place player in game |
| 3570s | number one |
| 3571s | are we good at our jobs oh yeah |
| 3576s | just survived on one Health which again |
| 3579s | is such a big deal because any extra |
| 3582s | players you can outlive is just strictly |
| 3585s | more points yeah it is King right now oh |
| 3587s | yeah they say went out as well just a |
| 3589s | little bit delayed with the fight |
| 3590s | recovering sure |
| 3592s | so was that Janice and satellite the |
| 3594s | same round right yeah good news release |
| 3596s | something yeah you got a 6.5 there |
| 3598s | instead of a seven yeah |
| 3602s | can we take a quick look at Mega Alex's |
| 3605s | board I just want to see how filthy it |
| 3606s | is that's okay |
| 3609s | oh yeah it's filthy filthy |
| 3612s | is that second beatboxer as well it's a |
| 3615s | golden beat boxer yeah and the second |
| 3617s | one in hand not that he needs it but |
| 3619s | yeah |
| 3620s | but again he said you just saw it the |
| 3622s | duo just got sold right but he's been |
| 3623s | running dracari Duo so yeah like you |
| 3626s | just get you just get to print value of |
| 3628s | whatever you want it's a very similar |
| 3629s | setup to what I was talking about before |
| 3631s | uh in the intro where I had golden brown |
| 3633s | golden Cali and a fourth Cali by this at |
| 3636s | this point in the game it's exactly that |
| 3637s | same setup and and tomb plane basically |
| 3640s | just full survive techniques going on |
| 3642s | here right with those uh leroys and |
| 3644s | everything going on so tomb just saying |
| 3645s | look I'll grab it I'm never winning this |
| 3647s | I'm going to grab a few extra points oh |
| 3649s | look at this board though Soul creams |
| 3652s | are made of |
| 3654s | I'm going full time now yeah just going |
| 3656s | Max stats right this is indeed the |
| 3659s | concrete jungle where dreams are made of |
| 3662s | that was an actual lyric that someone |
| 3664s | wrote in a song by the way have you ever |
| 3665s | paid attention to how little sense those |
| 3667s | words make |
| 3669s | I mean you can apply it to many songs as |
| 3671s | well but the whole creature jungle where |
| 3674s | dreams are made of what |
| 3679s | a scramble gold |
| 3682s | honestly have some self-respect |
| 3686s | it worked out it did |
| 3688s | it's kind of a tune honestly |
| 3691s | yeah this is our tomb on the other side |
| 3693s | that's the paramate just trying to |
| 3695s | survive as much as possible but when you |
| 3696s | run into the Juggernaut that is Mega |
| 3699s | Alex in this uh game I don't think |
| 3701s | survival's really going to work |
| 3705s | full Vinnie Jones Chasing Juno that's |
| 3708s | what's going on right now |
| 3711s | yeah about it on the other hand |
| 3713s | Maybe |
| 3714s | right yeah it's good enough right |
| 3718s | absolutely fine |
| 3719s | light fan getting work done again |
| 3723s | and this is one of those interactions I |
| 3725s | talked about yesterday as well when you |
| 3726s | were asking about like what can Undead |
| 3728s | actually do right you don't want to be |
| 3730s | doing what the galley Wicks was doing |
| 3732s | you don't want to actually be Undead but |
| 3734s | in terms of just having the 5-2 |
| 3736s | reborning a particular high value Undead |
| 3738s | on your board that's definitely |
| 3740s | something you can Splash into a more |
| 3742s | Menagerie style comp and that is working |
| 3743s | out very very nicely for a bit about it |
| 3745s | that's sharusa and tomb out that turn as |
| 3748s | well for joint fourth fifth |
| 3750s | and upsets me to see two of subtle's |
| 3753s | picks in fantasy team in the top three |
| 3755s | right now oh yeah |
| 3758s | yeah I will just reiterate if you're |
| 3759s | suffering a little bit like me with some |
| 3761s | decisions in your life thing to do with |
| 3763s | this tournament then remember today will |
| 3765s | be significantly longer for this group |
| 3768s | of players right we are playing more |
| 3769s | than three games and now towards the end |
| 3772s | soul with a cheeky Barrel's blessing |
| 3774s | cheeky barrel of blessing indeed all |
| 3777s | right so shame it's not Alex |
| 3779s | yeah which I would imagine is exactly |
| 3783s | why lorindra is doing it precisely now |
| 3785s | because doing it in the final fight |
| 3787s | between Mega Alex and one of these two |
| 3789s | players probably not going to work out |
| 3790s | super well |
| 3799s | so be about it looking to pick John yeah |
| 3802s | there's just trying to work out what's |
| 3803s | going on with this pay skill really does |
| 3806s | have a little bit of extra venomous to |
| 3807s | play with |
| 3810s | meanwhile a couple of leroys no venomous |
| 3813s | available though but does have the stats |
| 3815s | covered with Divine Shields okay |
| 3822s | I've locked to my choice you've got a |
| 3824s | few seconds to lock in yours as well |
| 3825s | yeah so we're gonna take the Victory and |
| 3828s | I think Saul's with me yeah both of us |
| 3829s | picking penguin I just think the Divine |
| 3832s | Shields Plus stats and like yeah there's |
| 3835s | a lot of venomous and a LeRoy but it's |
| 3836s | not that much right like there's a lero |
| 3839s | on the other side as well with the space |
| 3840s | kill too so yeah there is some scam |
| 3842s | potential where that first Leroy went |
| 3844s | was huge right that Leroy had to hit a |
| 3846s | deflecto to actually get things working |
| 3848s | because it removes a lot of the added |
| 3850s | value |
| 3851s | um but yeah I just think overall there's |
| 3853s | just a bit too much over here with the |
| 3854s | Divine Shields nice little field there |
| 3856s | on the shield though yeah it gets the |
| 3858s | reset on the deflecto though which is |
| 3860s | bad news there goes to venomous |
| 3864s | and now just the deflector at this point |
| 3866s | has everything else covered so looking |
| 3868s | pretty good |
| 3869s | and that looks like penguin is going to |
| 3871s | make it into top two at worst and then |
| 3874s | Mega Alex just got to just chill and |
| 3876s | play the uh the ghost this round be like |
| 3879s | right I'll make myself even stronger |
| 3882s | also scarily close to the Health |
| 3884s | Challenge as well I was just about to |
| 3885s | say yeah 32 I think 35 effective health |
| 3888s | is where we have the cut over at the |
| 3890s | moment so yeah |
| 3891s | you can see that that does seem a little |
| 3893s | tough to do though doesn't it when you |
| 3895s | think of how quickly Mega Alex azomu got |
| 3898s | to six spiked and got way stronger than |
| 3900s | anyone else and they're still only |
| 3901s | operating at 32 it does seem tough |
| 3911s | um obviously the number one Tech card |
| 3913s | when your opponent's reading mechs as |
| 3914s | heavily as Mega Alex will be would be |
| 3916s | tunnel Blaster uh but tunnel blast is a |
| 3919s | bit of a no with the strategy that you |
| 3921s | have going on right now which 100 |
| 3922s | resolves around Divine Shields that |
| 3924s | you'll remove of yourself and Leroy's |
| 3926s | which you will kill yourself with a |
| 3928s | tunnel Blaster it's also tricky as well |
| 3930s | because let's say there was a one-way |
| 3932s | tunnel Blaster right yeah it just hit |
| 3935s | enemy well the stats aren't even |
| 3936s | remotely close either so I think |
| 3938s | honestly this would have to be like |
| 3941s | Leroy's and bass fins as far as the I |
| 3944s | can see to get more leroys or something |
| 3946s | stupid right because I think right now |
| 3949s | obviously penguin's gonna be playing to |
| 3951s | just make the strongest board possible |
| 3952s | but with our sort of ultimate knowledge |
| 3954s | of the boards I think Mega Alex can |
| 3957s | probably just AFK this turn and still |
| 3958s | have more than enough to get this done |
| 3961s | I am waiting for the world now because |
| 3963s | these are things that are more |
| 3964s | inherently possible where you know that |
| 3966s | theoretical well if I just had like |
| 3968s | seven copies of an individual golden |
| 3970s | minion on my board what would win it's a |
| 3972s | thing that can actually happen now if |
| 3974s | you're just playing like reborn Radio |
| 3975s | Star Baron like the yarn to say stuff |
| 3977s | from the previous game you can quite |
| 3979s | easily get 10 copies of the same minion |
| 3981s | every single turn and actually make |
| 3982s | stuff like that huh oh everything's got |
| 3984s | wind Fury as well now so great |
| 3987s | oh look at the difference it's so big I |
| 3991s | mean so it's not just called Alex JP is |
| 3994s | he there's a reason we didn't come to |
| 3996s | watch Regular Alex today we came to |
| 3999s | watch Mega Alex and that's that's the |
| 4001s | worst part I am regular Alex that is |
| 4004s | Mega Alex over there |
| 4007s | yeah not even close it doesn't look like |
| 4011s | here as everything just beats up that is |
| 4012s | so many stats and I think very well |
| 4014s | played omu uh definitely strong but |
| 4017s | definitely a hero you can be too greedy |
| 4019s | with and get punished for right because |
| 4021s | the hero naturally wants you to |
| 4023s | aggressively level uh but we've seen |
| 4025s | some of the more aggressive strategies |
| 4026s | coming out here as well so a really |
| 4029s | really great start of the day for Mega |
| 4030s | Alex not only winning but winning by |
| 4033s | absolute mile as well yeah not even |
| 4036s | close |
| 4038s | um and that kind of Lobby will play two |
| 4041s | certain Heroes and certain strategies |
| 4043s | better it's the kind of Lobby that |
| 4045s | gallywick should enjoy for example |
| 4048s | um because there's so many did not there |
| 4050s | were so many tide fights so many um |
| 4052s | players on high Health totals for large |
| 4054s | periods of the game I'm not talking |
| 4055s | about like the minion type makeup in the |
| 4057s | game I don't think that was perfect for |
| 4058s | gallywix but just the way the game |
| 4060s | progressed quite slowly with a lot of |
| 4062s | High Health total Heroes for quite a |
| 4064s | long time it was just unfortunate that |
| 4065s | gallywix is one of the few Heroes that |
| 4067s | was taking damage throughout the entire |
| 4069s | game but when you are operating that |
| 4071s | slowly it gives full freedom to omu to |
| 4074s | just say okay press the level button |
| 4076s | every time see where we end up and when |
| 4078s | he got strong and was milking the scrap |
| 4081s | scraper at the same time and got to go |
| 4083s | to uh to six early that was always going |
| 4085s | to spell disaster for for the other |
| 4086s | players in the lobby and that's where we |
| 4088s | ended up yep super explosive at game |
| 4090s | number one with mega Alex taking the |
| 4092s | victory with Max we've got plenty more |
| 4095s | games coming up we're gonna go to a |
| 4096s | quick break so don't go anywhere we'll |
| 4098s | be right back |
| 4103s | [Applause] |
| 4108s | [Music] |
| 4131s | thank you |
| 4133s | [Music] |
| 4152s | [Applause] |
| 4156s | [Music] |
| 4161s | foreign |
| 4163s | [Music] |
| 4202s | thank you |
| 4231s | [Music] |
| 4236s | foreign |
| 4242s | [Music] |
| 4250s | [Music] |
| 4273s | foreign |
| 4276s | [Music] |
| 4294s | foreign welcome back everyone we are |
| 4297s | getting ready to go with game number two |
| 4299s | but before we do we can check out some |
| 4300s | highlights from game one because that |
| 4303s | was definitely an explosive start to the |
| 4305s | day wasn't it it really was yeah um I we |
| 4308s | hadn't quite seen that level of Mech |
| 4310s | pop-ups we've seen a very Mech dominated |
| 4313s | lobby but we haven't really seen someone |
| 4314s | hit that hard where just the perfect |
| 4318s | stuff appeared over and over again early |
| 4320s | scrap scraper with a good avenge setup |
| 4322s | and then quick beat boxes into drakari |
| 4326s | Duo while being strong enough to make |
| 4328s | that happen as well |
| 4329s | um absolute Domination by Mega Alex JP |
| 4332s | in the end but uh also maximum suffering |
| 4334s | from tasura on the gallywix because |
| 4337s | again this is not a choice to Surah |
| 4339s | would have made thinking it was a good |
| 4341s | idea but you do not want to be playing |
| 4343s | just random attack Aura undeads when |
| 4346s | you're playing yeah you want to be |
| 4348s | firing into some hyper economy build at |
| 4351s | that point but just could not get stable |
| 4352s | enough to be able to do that everyone |
| 4354s | else was just tying for fights around |
| 4356s | him and tasura was just bleeding health |
| 4358s | over and over again which you know can |
| 4360s | be the case a lot of the time gallywix |
| 4362s | does play the early game with no hero |
| 4364s | power and will be a little bit behind on |
| 4365s | Tempo sometimes if you're not |
| 4367s | 100 efficient and a little bit lucky |
| 4369s | within terms of the the economy Minions |
| 4371s | that you can roll into and yeah to sir |
| 4373s | just could not really get anything |
| 4375s | started here but you can probably tell |
| 4377s | by the increased girth of our |
| 4380s | leaderboards uh that it could be a lolly |
| 4382s | today than we there's a thick |
| 4384s | leaderboard so there is a long way to go |
| 4386s | tesori is still very much in this it is |
| 4388s | not over until it's over |
| 4390s | and of course if you're a slightly newer |
| 4392s | viewer and we will highlight when |
| 4394s | players have the lobby in check so don't |
| 4396s | you worry we could take a look at the |
| 4397s | fancy team pick rates there what do you |
| 4399s | make of this all um apart from baby it |
| 4402s | has a large fan base yeah be Above It |
| 4404s | farming the fantasy picks right now good |
| 4406s | stuff I think Gianna say picking up a |
| 4408s | couple of fans yesterday as well that |
| 4409s | makes sense but honestly Mega Alex JP |
| 4412s | will be writing his uh his diss track to |
| 4414s | Twitch chat right now based on the 17 |
| 4417s | pick rate into absolutely stomping the |
| 4420s | opening lobby but you know for a fact |
| 4422s | that 17 after game one I sat there going |
| 4425s | I'm a genius yeah I knew it all along |
| 4427s | you know you'd never foresee it but it |
| 4430s | definitely happened uh so yeah really |
| 4432s | crazy game number one put regular people |
| 4434s | in their fantasy team I've got a mega |
| 4436s | person in my face |
| 4441s | you can't just put Mega in front of your |
| 4443s | name you have to earn that that's the |
| 4446s | title |
| 4448s | okay well it looks like we are diving |
| 4449s | into it game number two and tomb has |
| 4452s | picked up BTC and we finally gonna have |
| 4455s | a pop-off game well so I I kind of have |
| 4458s | this festering resentment right I feel |
| 4460s | like tomb does not deserve it |
| 4463s | oh God |
| 4465s | tomb is gonna take Etc and do very |
| 4467s | consistent Tempo things and get top four |
| 4470s | and that's fine and Tim is playing for a |
| 4472s | lot of money right now but I feel like |
| 4474s | the spirit of Etc is to try and do the |
| 4477s | most degenerate thing yes every given |
| 4480s | game |
| 4482s | oh we have got a pretty strong spread of |
| 4484s | arrows though we do have the uh the Boon |
| 4487s | in there as well for Janice and uh we do |
| 4490s | have failing choices as well coming up |
| 4492s | soon |
| 4496s | [Music] |
| 4499s | I'm sure also is going to pick the |
| 4501s | Finley options there |
| 4502s | hmm tough choice actually I didn't |
| 4504s | actually catch a Minion makeup in this |
| 4507s | Lobby so I can see demons Pirates so far |
| 4510s | yeah demons dragons Max Pirates quill |
| 4513s | bores so no beasts no Elementals no |
| 4516s | murlocs no one dead no Naga |
| 4521s | not really the best failing there either |
| 4524s | I would say you know fairly mediocre |
| 4526s | failing overall uh patient Scout on two |
| 4528s | is an interesting one though um you can |
| 4530s | just take the hit with it on turn two |
| 4532s | and then sell it on turn three and then |
| 4536s | you end up in a position where you have |
| 4537s | three two drops on your board it's |
| 4538s | actually quite a powerful start |
| 4545s | keep an eye on huge chunk going on two |
| 4549s | see if they are gonna be doing the oh no |
| 4552s | sorry we're on turn two yeah yeah yeah |
| 4554s | remember myself a little bit get your |
| 4557s | bandwagon picking as well that I |
| 4559s | completely forgot about until now |
| 4563s | that's why I'm I'm gonna choose to wait |
| 4565s | it out a little bit on this one because |
| 4566s | I I do want to see what tomb is going to |
| 4568s | do with the ztc I believe tomb has |
| 4570s | played Etc before and hero powered on |
| 4573s | turn two |
| 4574s | um or actually is that true or did they |
| 4577s | go three on three and then end up taking |
| 4579s | muck Slingers on three over and over I |
| 4581s | think it was Mook Slingers yeah |
| 4583s | um but either way want a little bit more |
| 4584s | extra information on how tomb is going |
| 4586s | to play this Etc before I make my |
| 4588s | decision again you have until the end of |
| 4590s | turn four to get your bandwagon picks in |
| 4593s | foreign |
| 4602s | I didn't choose them |
| 4605s | oh hero power into no Jailer buddy |
| 4609s | obviously does not feel great A lot of |
| 4611s | the time |
| 4612s | looks like a choice between uh illidari |
| 4615s | or whirlatron you could go whirlatron |
| 4617s | and just copy the blood gem death rattle |
| 4619s | from the shop if you wanted to not great |
| 4621s | but it's a start I suppose |
| 4630s | I'm really well I'm half surprised in |
| 4632s | half not right tomb's gun for the uh the |
| 4635s | hero power on two |
| 4637s | um on level two as opposed to three I |
| 4640s | guess we should just come to expect this |
| 4641s | from Doom now right yep those seem to be |
| 4643s | the way |
| 4646s | you know what I'm gonna believe given |
| 4648s | I've given to him a lot of flack so far |
| 4650s | just because they play differently than |
| 4651s | I do and they're playing very very |
| 4653s | acceptable tournament Battlegrounds so |
| 4656s | I'm I'm gonna hitch my bandwagon to tomb |
| 4658s | for this one |
| 4664s | that's just a whole empty board and only |
| 4667s | going against one minion not too bad |
| 4669s | actually |
| 4672s | choosing to deal six damage over the |
| 4674s | marginal upsides that you could have by |
| 4677s | having a demon in your hand which I |
| 4678s | think is probably worth it |
| 4683s | I suspect you probably want some Minions |
| 4686s | on your board beta but you might have |
| 4688s | other ideas I'd be discovering it having |
| 4691s | one minion here personally |
| 4694s | people keep talking about bananas in |
| 4695s | this meta subtle |
| 4697s | um true is it a different type of banana |
| 4699s | it is yeah you need to slam your banana |
| 4702s | you don't need to add bananas to your |
| 4703s | hand you need to slam that banana it's a |
| 4705s | very very different story |
| 4717s | not really anything sticking out but |
| 4719s | then it is a discover Talent day one |
| 4721s | right Nothing's Gonna Be mind-blowing |
| 4724s | [Music] |
| 4726s | my dragon yeah this makes sense two |
| 4729s | decent eat targets plus you get the one |
| 4731s | one buff on the skyfin still quite small |
| 4733s | for the given turn but acceptable |
| 4735s | nonetheless tomb did end up with the |
| 4737s | death rattle second try |
| 4739s | sure yeah fair enough |
| 4742s | uh guessing they picked |
| 4744s | this pig yeah it could be blood germ it |
| 4747s | could be it could be the trickster oh |
| 4749s | it's Mex isn't it right so like it can |
| 4751s | be stacked it's a Mech isn't it |
| 4754s | yeah so you could actually stack it |
| 4756s | pretty high right health-wise |
| 4759s | yeah that's a good point |
| 4764s | we will find out yeah okay it's |
| 4767s | Trickster |
| 4771s | nice combat RNG to let it die so that we |
| 4774s | got our answer hey yep thank you very |
| 4776s | much |
| 4776s | I appreciate it |
| 4780s | you're good at it and now it's having |
| 4782s | three buddy this is where things really |
| 4784s | get kind of Juicy okay let's go instant |
| 4789s | Talent scale you don't get any value |
| 4790s | from the whirlatron so this will have to |
| 4792s | go on the ildari |
| 4794s | double immunity very very powerful |
| 4798s | is it fair to say like talent scouts |
| 4800s | like just the most commonly easy picked |
| 4803s | buddy if that makes that sentence made |
| 4805s | any sense just because you know you're |
| 4807s | going to get good value from it yeah it |
| 4809s | makes sense right like it is literally |
| 4811s | etc's action yes so you know it's a |
| 4813s | reason why it belongs to the hero right |
| 4816s | you're wrong it becomes almost like an |
| 4818s | auto pick right yeah there are certain |
| 4820s | situations where like you go three on |
| 4822s | three and then it's in your first choice |
| 4824s | right or it's it's you find it before |
| 4827s | you find something that you really want |
| 4828s | to consider a wet condition because you |
| 4830s | know if you just get an economy buddy on |
| 4832s | three on three like if you get reform |
| 4834s | buddy and then the next turn you get |
| 4836s | your actual Etc buddy you're basically |
| 4838s | set for the game at that point you're |
| 4840s | printing money automatically at the |
| 4841s | start of the game but sometimes you get |
| 4843s | into weird positions where like you take |
| 4844s | the ETC buddy and just hold it for a |
| 4846s | turn |
| 4848s | and then look for a better win condition |
| 4851s | and just get really really greedy with |
| 4853s | it can happen the dream may have come |
| 4855s | true by the way so |
| 4856s | what we might be in a game that's unique |
| 4860s | to us since there are multiple players |
| 4862s | stacking gems right now okay yeah Peter |
| 4865s | Babbitt has the two has played two |
| 4867s | Battle Cry The Battle Cry picks you know |
| 4869s | where they leave was their health uh |
| 4871s | obviously we could see penguin sand just |
| 4873s | stack in with the death rattle which is |
| 4874s | plus attack and there's a few other |
| 4876s | players as well that have all of some uh |
| 4878s | some pigs either on board or in hand so |
| 4880s | if you're happy with this one already if |
| 4882s | we get to see more Billboards played |
| 4888s | esthera does not currently have anywhere |
| 4890s | to put this annoya module |
| 4892s | and just play it as a vanilla minion |
| 4894s | does have the opportunity to trade in |
| 4896s | The Gambler for a Mech with one role |
| 4899s | does find Harvest Golem |
| 4901s | slight upgrade but is it worth three |
| 4903s | gold well that's the thing I think that |
| 4905s | was a pass anyway because there was a um |
| 4909s | deflecto there was a deflector in the |
| 4911s | previous shot right but like in terms of |
| 4913s | having somewhere to put your annoya |
| 4916s | module you're not going to buy a |
| 4917s | deflecto to put an annoya module on it |
| 4918s | right that doesn't really matter yeah |
| 4920s | yeah but I didn't think you would skip |
| 4922s | the deflector if you just wanted Max |
| 4924s | right you could still sell that should |
| 4926s | buy the deflecto and then attach the |
| 4928s | annoying module next time you know yeah |
| 4930s | fair enough |
| 4939s | blood gems |
| 4948s | it's penguin so I'm gonna hold |
| 4950s | night yep he's gonna take the |
| 4953s | filamental instead agreed |
| 4956s | I respect it penguin looks very strong |
| 4958s | right now to be perfectly honest so it's |
| 4961s | the only reason why you wouldn't play it |
| 4962s | like this |
| 4969s | oh and the shock missed the Divine |
| 4970s | Shield that's actually pretty big |
| 4974s | and not sure if it'll actually have |
| 4976s | enough impact on the outcome of the |
| 4977s | fight |
| 4980s | not really right I think you were kind |
| 4983s | of doing probably by the way |
| 4985s | yeah there was a chance that extra |
| 4987s | damage would be done but again let's see |
| 4989s | how to end up that way regardless just |
| 4992s | looks significantly smaller overall |
| 4995s | oh hello Duo procking now for two very |
| 5000s | very nice |
| 5001s | start to get a lot of copies of |
| 5004s | something of his choosing |
| 5008s | gabrin's kind of interesting you do have |
| 5010s | the illidari which will be 12 attack |
| 5012s | minimum at this point okay just gonna |
| 5014s | take Lantern tender sure I was look at |
| 5016s | this purely because of Jakari potential |
| 5018s | because it is end of turn right |
| 5020s | correct yep here's a gold for the trip |
| 5023s | oh okay |
| 5026s | foreign |
| 5029s | value from right because yeah another |
| 5031s | piloted world of Tron sure does |
| 5034s | something if you get another copy in |
| 5035s | your hand since it's Battle Cry another |
| 5037s | uh illidari doesn't really do anything |
| 5039s | though right you've already got a couple |
| 5040s | of immune attacks I don't think one more |
| 5042s | is going to make a whole lot or an extra |
| 5043s | copy of the car is going to make a whole |
| 5045s | lot of difference so it was looking for |
| 5046s | a buddy from the hero power to |
| 5048s | specifically use on the duo that turn |
| 5050s | and it was honestly it was a very tomb |
| 5052s | pick he picked the thing that just |
| 5053s | automatically gives him some stats of |
| 5055s | return that's just what he seems to be |
| 5057s | the most interested in we're playing |
| 5058s | this game |
| 5059s | oh all right well that's a plan |
| 5064s | a bit of a mixed bag of a board here for |
| 5066s | Janice but Foon can sort a lot of things |
| 5068s | out right like if you just pick up an |
| 5071s | extra card holding hand food can sort |
| 5072s | problems out if needed an old Battle |
| 5074s | Master pick up as well yeah Battle |
| 5076s | Master pickup is huge I think just in |
| 5078s | terms of trying to win this fight Janice |
| 5081s | looks very very weak for the current |
| 5083s | turn to my eye so taking a hit here |
| 5086s | would really Scupper any chance that |
| 5088s | Janice would have to scale into |
| 5090s | something yeah I was gonna say I don't |
| 5092s | think it's particularly powerful on all |
| 5094s | of these no you can see so but even even |
| 5096s | later yeah I think this is a fight |
| 5099s | between two of the weaker players you |
| 5101s | subtract this 625 from the board you can |
| 5103s | see that Guyana say might have just been |
| 5104s | in tried a little bit of trouble still |
| 5106s | but instead flipped right back around |
| 5108s | that's going to take the big hit here |
| 5111s | yeah super big danger here for Peter |
| 5113s | babit will need something to happen and |
| 5115s | again you'd get the golden Battle Cry |
| 5116s | Pig but nothing to follow up with that's |
| 5119s | the big problem right now and |
| 5122s | I |
| 5123s | don't think any of these are gonna |
| 5125s | particularly save him either |
| 5130s | prickly Piper does at least work with |
| 5133s | the gem scaling that he has like okay |
| 5135s | the perfect stuff thank you very much |
| 5143s | has enough gold to be able to sell |
| 5144s | through for this Golden Monkey as well |
| 5146s | hopefully pick up uh any quill ball you |
| 5150s | can add to this board is a significant |
| 5152s | increase in Tempo because of the gem |
| 5154s | Smuggler you're about to play with |
| 5155s | several uh gem Buffs already activated |
| 5159s | throughout |
| 5160s | [Music] |
| 5167s | is this living is this what living looks |
| 5170s | like |
| 5173s | it's not looking bad is it |
| 5175s | is there any way to also get a pirate in |
| 5177s | your hand it doesn't look like there is |
| 5178s | all right |
| 5181s | wait |
| 5183s | yeah let's go he is playing these two |
| 5185s | quill balls right surely |
| 5189s | there's a lot of stats to miss out on if |
| 5190s | not |
| 5196s | okay |
| 5200s | yeah good ordering this play the blood |
| 5203s | gems because obviously one of the things |
| 5205s | that will get buffed by the agum |
| 5206s | activation is a quill ball so you don't |
| 5209s | want to have the three four on the board |
| 5210s | first right so that's that's the one |
| 5211s | that you're selling on the following |
| 5212s | turn so good ordering from bit about it |
| 5215s | yeah definitely a big leap in strength |
| 5217s | here might not be enough obviously two |
| 5219s | Health isn't great uh one loss and it'll |
| 5221s | be about it's done but this was quite |
| 5223s | the jumping stats and at least there's a |
| 5225s | game plan now for the about it yeah one |
| 5228s | of the tensest moments in Battlegrounds |
| 5229s | this you've just about found yourself a |
| 5231s | win condition but you just have to find |
| 5233s | out whether there is a monster waiting |
| 5235s | under your bed in terms of your next |
| 5236s | opponent and I don't think there is I |
| 5239s | think beta more than comfortably has |
| 5241s | this covered |
| 5246s | also it's a chance to just reverse swing |
| 5248s | this right depending on what this battle |
| 5250s | Master can get done because there's |
| 5251s | actually a lot of damage on this board |
| 5253s | true yeah and very high tier Minions |
| 5256s | fighting for beta as well |
| 5261s | two five drops still survival |
| 5263s | still surviving that's gonna be a little |
| 5265s | damage going back wow |
| 5267s | what a what a turn like you said the |
| 5269s | pressure's on at that point the turn |
| 5271s | it's a pivot point for the game the beat |
| 5273s | about it might not be able to win it for |
| 5275s | any extra place is everything and we |
| 5277s | just saw Tom just uh who did you just |
| 5279s | hit is it to sorrow on the fan yeah |
| 5286s | all right Clockwork assistant I think we |
| 5288s | can all get behind a good Clockwork |
| 5289s | assistant |
| 5292s | worth rolling for a brand first in my |
| 5294s | opinion before anything happens |
| 5300s | interesting rolling into a six I might |
| 5302s | have been tempted to faceless something |
| 5304s | into A5 to look for Brands specifically |
| 5306s | here |
| 5309s | the zap worth picking up |
| 5312s | just as a tide you over till the next |
| 5314s | turn yeah maybe |
| 5316s | just because this board doesn't look |
| 5318s | overly strong right obviously there's |
| 5319s | the uh the shredder on the left but in |
| 5322s | general |
| 5323s | Charles |
| 5328s | okay well well well we're calicos are we |
| 5332s | okay fair enough |
| 5333s | with double milk |
| 5340s | penguin just gonna have a he's gonna |
| 5341s | have a dual proc his turn |
| 5345s | oh my God that is already a massive agum |
| 5349s | as well yeah |
| 5354s | it's his mouth is not gonna get dropped |
| 5355s | in as the demon |
| 5359s | it's like it might be |
| 5361s | it's gonna use it for now it's a pirate |
| 5363s | okay fine yeah what's the duo |
| 5367s | the agum |
| 5368s | well it's it's changed now right so it's |
| 5371s | whatever you leave it next to this turn |
| 5372s | so he's getting another copy that's what |
| 5373s | I meant what are they going to pick but |
| 5375s | yeah I guess going for the trip or |
| 5376s | they're on the taunt just just have a |
| 5378s | triple I suppose |
| 5379s | yeah give them the triple and it also |
| 5381s | increases their gem generation |
| 5382s | significantly right because they don't |
| 5384s | actually have that much ongoing |
| 5386s | generation they don't have a bristle |
| 5388s | back build where they get fed a bunch of |
| 5389s | gems for free every turn they just have |
| 5391s | that one death row going off so working |
| 5393s | on a little bit more generation does uh |
| 5396s | make sense generation I heard that |
| 5399s | before |
| 5404s | the amount of money available as well |
| 5414s | that's what my relics can do oh once |
| 5418s | again and there you see it this is this |
| 5420s | is every game tomb has played in this |
| 5421s | tournament right like apart from the |
| 5423s | Beast game where they just got way ahead |
| 5424s | with the the shadow walk Battle Cry |
| 5426s | Hyrule they just get ahead on Tempo they |
| 5428s | stay at full health for the the first |
| 5430s | half of the game and then they just |
| 5431s | slowly bleed out and end up in top four |
| 5433s | somewhere and like fine it's a good way |
| 5436s | to play tournament Hearthstone I'm not |
| 5437s | I'm not I hate you I think the evolution |
| 5438s | of Alex here we can see throughout the |
| 5440s | day so far should change the name to |
| 5442s | Mecca Alex at this point because it's |
| 5445s | getting this job done pretty well on |
| 5447s | Mega Mecca Alex |
| 5451s | tactical choice |
| 5456s | is still looking very locked out of that |
| 5460s | yeah Tavern six reach which by the way |
| 5462s | turned 10 and we're not seeing anyone |
| 5464s | even approaching the regions of Tavern 6 |
| 5466s | at this point |
| 5469s | oh oh this went well |
| 5471s | hang on a minute |
| 5476s | come on yeah so the uh the Double Cali |
| 5480s | came from the hero power of course we |
| 5481s | saw that happening but a brand has just |
| 5483s | magically appeared at the same time |
| 5484s | which has turned these two caleys into |
| 5486s | four Callies functionally with the way |
| 5487s | the uh the battle cries are going on |
| 5489s | that's what you talked about on and off |
| 5491s | throughout the weekend right it's just |
| 5493s | the power of this specifically and how |
| 5495s | very quickly these stats start to stack |
| 5499s | triple cell end on the torn probably |
| 5501s | taunting bran I would imagine is the end |
| 5504s | of this |
| 5506s | yeah just as a couple of bumpers |
| 5509s | yep |
| 5510s | yeah primarily because this is so this |
| 5512s | is long-term planning for your Medina |
| 5514s | right you don't want to actually taunt |
| 5515s | any of your dragons uh because you want |
| 5518s | the nadina to be able to go first there |
| 5519s | is the option as well to just say no |
| 5521s | torn and just fire the torn at the shop |
| 5523s | but I think the shop is empty at that |
| 5524s | point anyway |
| 5525s | um and at least having one torn can |
| 5528s | control Cleaves from your opponents for |
| 5530s | example I mean even that attack right |
| 5531s | it's nice I soak it up a Divine shield |
| 5533s | for a brand you'll take that trade every |
| 5535s | day of the week yep |
| 5538s | this versus uh Mega Alex who's currently |
| 5541s | in charge of this game oh no no no no no |
| 5544s | no you do not want to go out like this |
| 5546s | it's the most frustrating way to die in |
| 5549s | Battlegrounds where all of your minions |
| 5550s | just charge straight into deflecto |
| 5553s | divide Shields over and over again and |
| 5556s | that is what is about to happen |
| 5559s | that is dead but you're gonna say exact |
| 5562s | lethal 7 damage |
| 5564s | actual pain yet again the stabilization |
| 5567s | turn just did not pay off there it's so |
| 5571s | close as well |
| 5573s | and two yet again just surviving just |
| 5576s | living just just outliving people |
| 5579s | tomb is just the number one proponent of |
| 5582s | the theory of you don't have to outrun |
| 5584s | the bear you just have to outrun the |
| 5586s | person you're with look |
| 5587s | at this |
| 5589s | what's going on |
| 5599s | ridiculous |
| 5600s | incredibly frustrating to see as an |
| 5603s | option in the early game incredibly |
| 5605s | powerful when it hits like that yep I'm |
| 5608s | uh I'm gonna lock this in right now I'm |
| 5610s | gonna wait till the end of the turn if I |
| 5613s | get more points for this |
| 5616s | uh okay yep |
| 5625s | I do think as well |
| 5628s | if we talk about first this is I think |
| 5629s | the first demon comp right we have seen |
| 5632s | that demons hit the board but not |
| 5634s | actually a demon comp uh that we've seen |
| 5637s | throughout the weekend there oh by the |
| 5638s | way this virgin hero power are you |
| 5641s | joking oh look |
| 5645s | 24 |
| 5647s | magnetic minion in the shop and has a |
| 5649s | beat boxer on board to be able to get |
| 5652s | double value out of the magnetic that's |
| 5654s | so disgusting oh cat hero power into |
| 5658s | volgin hero power with Magnetic mix that |
| 5661s | is a game-winning sequence of outcomes |
| 5664s | for Mega Alex on this turn yeah with |
| 5666s | those players dying that turn right it's |
| 5669s | just absolutely huge yeah be sure to get |
| 5671s | your bowels blessings in by now and uh |
| 5674s | let's wonder what can possibly happen |
| 5676s | with this outcome |
| 5678s | I don't know oh it's a Tense one |
| 5683s | hey yeah let's just zoom into the uh |
| 5685s | winning part here |
| 5687s | two soul |
| 5689s | got the ghost |
| 5690s | yeah |
| 5692s | has devoured yet another of tomb's |
| 5695s | companions as he continues to just not |
| 5697s | be the slowest person yep |
| 5699s | oh that is not gonna pay off forever |
| 5702s | because at some point to win the |
| 5703s | tournament you need to win a game yep |
| 5706s | absolutely but Tim has already done that |
| 5708s | this tournament it has happened hmm |
| 5714s | okay Arcane alteration seems a little |
| 5716s | bit less exciting than the things that |
| 5717s | have been happening so far and |
| 5720s | a perfectly Pleasant Hearthstone board |
| 5725s | numbers less than a hundred |
| 5728s | yeah uh worth remembering that the |
| 5731s | whirlatron at least one of these |
| 5733s | whirlatrons is a trickster death rattle |
| 5735s | so we'll be spitting a lot of extra |
| 5737s | Health out somewhere or other I imagine |
| 5739s | the taunted one yeah the adventured one |
| 5741s | now yeah still absolutely nowhere close |
| 5745s | to being able to compete with mega Alex |
| 5747s | and uh I would be amazed if uh if Tim |
| 5751s | can even survive this fight let alone |
| 5752s | find a way to piece together a win and |
| 5755s | we do see even this late in the game and |
| 5757s | mega Alex being this far ahead because |
| 5759s | you know he he knows he's strong right |
| 5761s | that's not a surprise uh still just |
| 5764s | sitting on Tavern five because six just |
| 5766s | doesn't matter yeah |
| 5771s | oh and only recently to five right if |
| 5773s | it's on nine yep wasn't too long ago yep |
| 5776s | absolute time for gaming uh I think |
| 5778s | there's been some strategic use of uh |
| 5780s | faceless disciples is that what the |
| 5782s | card's called to find a few of these |
| 5783s | cards along the way and that's just |
| 5784s | enabled uh Mega Alex to just sit low for |
| 5787s | the majority of the game a nice Panda |
| 5789s | hero powers to get win conditions a |
| 5791s | little bit of faceless disciple action |
| 5793s | and really just has not had to do a |
| 5794s | great deal apart from watch these |
| 5796s | numbers go up |
| 5801s | oh it's so big |
| 5805s | his book is like uh I'm gonna run new |
| 5807s | Mark away from this one |
| 5813s | like they even killed the first boombox |
| 5818s | oh yeah 52 on the right it does a second |
| 5825s | it could happen right we're just every |
| 5826s | attack went straight into a Divine |
| 5828s | shield from this point onwards six five |
| 5830s | trades of the one one it didn't yeah |
| 5836s | Etc having a good run I'm not making it |
| 5838s | all the way through |
| 5840s | I believe that should be enough with my |
| 5842s | quick maths plays out mainly the Boombox |
| 5844s | is a lot and the beat boxes sorry not |
| 5846s | the Boombox but as it's going to be a |
| 5848s | victory for Mega Alex |
| 5851s | absolutely incredible scenes here with |
| 5854s | those mechs there what a showing already |
| 5856s | so like I did not expect this just |
| 5859s | absolutely brutalizing the games we |
| 5862s | started off with Alex game one finish we |
| 5864s | got Mega Alex we've now progressed to |
| 5865s | Giga Alex we will update as the day |
| 5868s | continues but I mean this could be a |
| 5870s | fast one honestly it seems like Mega |
| 5872s | Alex is going to reach check very |
| 5874s | quickly and mega Alex seems to show that |
| 5877s | he's very good at winning lobbies so far |
| 5879s | so things could be uh going a lot |
| 5882s | quicker than expected at this point two |
| 5885s | incredible performances with very |
| 5887s | similar boards found by incredibly |
| 5890s | different methods between the two games |
| 5892s | ended up in the same place but the road |
| 5894s | to get there was uh was winding and |
| 5897s | difficult in both regards so yeah great |
| 5899s | performance from Alex so until this |
| 5900s | point yeah there is a chance we are on |
| 5902s | for a slightly shorter one than planned |
| 5904s | if things keep going like this today |
| 5905s | which means you've got to make sure not |
| 5907s | to miss out on any of these games we are |
| 5909s | going to go to a quick break while we |
| 5911s | set up game three don't go anywhere |
| 5912s | we'll be right back |
| 5917s | foreign |
| 5919s | [Music] |
| 5935s | [Music] |
| 5963s | [Music] |
| 5969s | thank you |

| 6070s | [Music] |
| 6096s | [Music] |
| 6103s | welcome back we're getting ready to go |
| 6105s | into our third game of the day and just |
| 6108s | a reminder this is a bit of a variable |
| 6109s | length day depending on how quickly some |
| 6112s | of the players can get to those 20 |
| 6114s | points get the lobby in check and then |
| 6116s | grab one more win after that but might |
| 6119s | be quite accelerated based on what we've |
| 6121s | seen so far |
| 6122s | yes uh I remember going all the way back |
| 6125s | to the very first Lobby Legends uh |
| 6129s | Venice just kind of took the thing by |
| 6131s | storm and then the game first game got |
| 6134s | into check needed to spike and hit two |
| 6136s | triples into sixes and got um a thyssa |
| 6139s | and orgazord when that strategy was the |
| 6141s | absolute nuts in Battlegrounds at that |
| 6143s | time |
| 6144s | um and kind of like it was everyone's |
| 6146s | first exposure to check format and |
| 6147s | they're like oh well uh I mean that was |
| 6149s | fun |
| 6151s | diplomatic I guess and now I think since |
| 6153s | then we've seen the full range of things |
| 6155s | that can happen with check format so I |
| 6157s | absolutely would not mind seeing an |
| 6159s | absolute stomping come back into |
| 6160s | proceedings again especially the winter |
| 6163s | Way mega Alex was playing so far as you |
| 6165s | can see throughout these first two games |
| 6166s | yeah and I do feel like uh you know Mega |
| 6169s | Alex obviously did extremely well |
| 6170s | winning two in a row now just miles away |
| 6173s | from anyone else uh the only player now |
| 6176s | having the possibility to get the lobby |
| 6178s | in check on game three which is as fast |
| 6180s | as you can do it which is looking great |
| 6182s | but I also think that last game a part |
| 6185s | for Mega Alex it was pretty Scrappy |
| 6187s | wasn't it we didn't see any like |
| 6189s | well-formed odds there was just a lot of |
| 6191s | it's a bit of this some pigs some of |
| 6193s | this some of that to try and get hold of |
| 6195s | something cohesive and I feel like |
| 6197s | that's what was missing and why it was |
| 6198s | even easier for Mega Alex to just |
| 6200s | dominate that second game because it |
| 6202s | felt like he was the only one with like |
| 6204s | a true comp |
| 6205s | and it is it's the kind of thing that |
| 6207s | will lend to a player like two right |
| 6209s | where there was a lot of players when |
| 6211s | you when you sort of see those Scrappy |
| 6213s | games kind of mishmash boards generally |
| 6215s | what that is is that people have shot |
| 6218s | for a triple for a specific thing and |
| 6220s | then missed and then they're trying to |
| 6221s | scramble at that point to put something |
| 6223s | together |
| 6224s | um you know lots of like end of term |
| 6226s | boards that were searching for dracaris |
| 6228s | lots of half Mech boards that never |
| 6229s | really found the uh the multiple scrap |
| 6232s | scrapers and Duos that you need to get |
| 6234s | the engine going and then meanwhile tomb |
| 6236s | is just there just saying this is the |
| 6238s | biggest thing this turn this is Max I |
| 6240s | will put you this too this is Max stats |
| 6242s | this turn and just being as big as |
| 6244s | possible On Any Given turn playing for |
| 6246s | Tempo doing it really really well and |
| 6249s | just picking up another stack of points |
| 6250s | finding himself sat in second place |
| 6252s | well let's jump in to game number three |
| 6254s | again all eyes frankly have to be on |
| 6256s | Mega Alex because it's reasonably likely |
| 6260s | that he can if he puts another good |
| 6261s | performance he will get the lobbying |
| 6262s | check and absolutely rapid fashion but |
| 6265s | talk to me about some of these hero |
| 6267s | choices because already subtle I'm |
| 6268s | looking at some of my favorites |
| 6269s | satellite on Varden again be a Babbitt |
| 6272s | on reform |
| 6274s | available no beasts but Undead are in |
| 6277s | Undead of the consolation prize for sure |
| 6279s | with nazoff but they do feature Radio |
| 6283s | Star which you I think that Synergy |
| 6285s | straight away is worth the price of |
| 6287s | admission alone for nazoth where you can |
| 6290s | absolutely get the money printer rolling |
| 6292s | early on big big fan of that but let's |
| 6294s | see what dinathrius is going to be |
| 6296s | cooking with for a quest so far this |
| 6298s | game |
| 6299s | hello |
| 6301s | victim Specter does broken things yeah |
| 6305s | demons are in this game though which |
| 6307s | does increase the value of sapphire |
| 6311s | that can interact with shop size the |
| 6314s | best |
| 6315s | I think like increasing the stats though |
| 6318s | there's naga in there's mechs in there's |
| 6320s | dragons in right there's demons in like |
| 6322s | okay seems good I think that was the |
| 6324s | dragon pickup as well right |
| 6327s | yep takes a torn Dragon that's just |
| 6329s | gonna do a little bit of stat scaling |
| 6330s | for you automatically whenever you're |
| 6331s | getting attacked good stuff for the |
| 6333s | dinathrius quest |
| 6334s | we also see uh what do we think about |
| 6336s | Rat King nowadays as we see penguins and |
| 6339s | on a on the rat oh a lot better in my |
| 6342s | opinion like definitely a playable hero |
| 6345s | uh in general because you know any hero |
| 6348s | that can kind of guarantee the normal |
| 6350s | curve into Tab and two and be strong is |
| 6352s | at least worth thinking about right and |
| 6354s | rat king can now do that with the new |
| 6355s | form of the hero power that just |
| 6357s | discovers a minion |
| 6358s | um because you don't have to hit a token |
| 6359s | to actually curve out them well onto |
| 6361s | which is very very nice overall |
| 6364s | um and just that added ability to to |
| 6366s | discover extra minions very very nice in |
| 6368s | general |
| 6372s | doesn't overly surprise me with Cindy |
| 6374s | over there just a more Tempo more stats |
| 6377s | more pressure right it's a lot of that |
| 6379s | hero so yeah we'll have to see how that |
| 6380s | one plays out a little bit later on and |
| 6382s | now are we already in the territory of |
| 6384s | hurt Mega Alex because this didn't |
| 6387s | particularly appeal to me as a stay on |
| 6390s | one line but it looks like tesora might |
| 6392s | have gone no you know what |
| 6394s | I'm staying on one I'm putting bananas |
| 6396s | on a Divine shield and I'm dealing some |
| 6398s | damage to Mega Alex |
| 6399s | yeah that's definitely something I also |
| 6401s | think it was just the hero powers on |
| 6403s | offer right because the other hero power |
| 6405s | was completely null because it was the |
| 6407s | kitty hero power so it was just like I I |
| 6410s | guess he just also wanted to utilize |
| 6412s | that as well going forward but you don't |
| 6414s | have to use your hero power you can just |
| 6416s | say an either of these are worth it and |
| 6418s | press it and press the level button yeah |
| 6420s | you can you can |
| 6425s | snail Calvary decent Synergy low flyer |
| 6429s | actually works pretty well with the |
| 6431s | spellcraft as well to get a couple of |
| 6432s | Buffs on that more decent start |
| 6435s | speaking of decent starts yeah |
| 6437s | hello reform this is ticking the perfect |
| 6440s | boxes right because it's value with the |
| 6444s | shell collectors of course and cards |
| 6446s | likely your opponent's gonna pick but |
| 6448s | also these are risen Riders are huge |
| 6450s | because it's keeping me above its Health |
| 6452s | High because these are very good early |
| 6454s | game to not lose fights |
| 6457s | [Music] |
| 6458s | yeah and prison Riders are the absolute |
| 6461s | nuts for reform because they are the |
| 6463s | single most likely minion you are ever |
| 6466s | going to steal in the early game so you |
| 6468s | just start printing these triples nice |
| 6470s | and easy |
| 6471s | and you're not even upset that because |
| 6473s | Peter Panic froze right for the Risen |
| 6475s | rider in the shot you're not overly |
| 6477s | upset at the storyline you might be a |
| 6480s | little bit because you might have plans |
| 6482s | of taking a much greedier triple than |
| 6484s | you end up taking in this scenario |
| 6486s | because the reform curve does naturally |
| 6489s | allow for level hero power free shop a |
| 6491s | couple of times that's just the natural |
| 6492s | curve that plays out |
| 6494s | um so you can argue maybe you might be a |
| 6496s | little bit sad but yeah you just buy the |
| 6498s | other reason put it on board and keep it |
| 6500s | the other one in there honestly you |
| 6502s | probably will get another triple over |
| 6503s | the course of the game if you do that it |
| 6505s | really really might happen |
| 6508s | oh it does look like a off-screen a bit |
| 6510s | about it did play the uh the trip of the |
| 6513s | gold |
| 6513s | either Janice does have an option to uh |
| 6516s | beef out these demon stats a little bit |
| 6518s | or yet again go for level by freeze uh |
| 6521s | reminder for everyone involved uh |
| 6523s | including my partner that this is the |
| 6525s | last 15 seconds oh yeah he's trying to |
| 6527s | get me again |
| 6529s | I'm literally reminding you right now |
| 6531s | what do you mean uh who do I pick |
| 6535s | um |
| 6536s | uh three two one |
| 6540s | I'm just out of here okay |
| 6544s | Raven has chosen beat the bit uh |
| 6549s | how many you don't know who I mean |
| 6553s | oh it's because it's so difficult |
| 6555s | because we don't have like an overlay |
| 6558s | you know popped up for us and I'm so |
| 6560s | invested in the game from literally |
| 6562s | second one I just forget we have to make |
| 6564s | these picks |
| 6566s | uh I did it though |
| 6568s | oh apparently uh Chris sorry that's not |
| 6571s | a player in this Lobby denied yeah |
| 6573s | absolutely dead right thanks Chris fully |
| 6576s | support that ruling actually not the |
| 6578s | rules the rule keeping us honest yeah oh |
| 6581s | this is really nice stuff by the way |
| 6583s | reminds this is an increased stats quest |
| 6586s | for the reward of victim Specter which |
| 6588s | adds the last minion that died in combat |
| 6589s | to your hand or at the least the last |
| 6591s | friendly minion that died in combat to |
| 6592s | your hand low flyer with spellcraft is |
| 6595s | about the quickest way you're possibly |
| 6598s | gonna get this done reminds me very much |
| 6600s | of the old you take this kind of quest |
| 6602s | back in quest meta and you'd hit like |
| 6604s | spawn of nazoff right on Tavern 2 and it |
| 6606s | would just be buffing your entire board |
| 6608s | every single fight in combat really |
| 6609s | really good stuff |
| 6611s | [Music] |
| 6617s | speaking of low flyers and Gwen said got |
| 6620s | hold of some of themselves |
| 6624s | and still in the stage of the game where |
| 6627s | the players are just securing like |
| 6629s | you're building the fortifications of |
| 6631s | this game right not really going all in |
| 6633s | on anything not having the time to find |
| 6635s | anything to really build around quite |
| 6637s | yet still early on on turn five but a |
| 6639s | lot of players are looking quite strong |
| 6641s | at the moment yeah at this point people |
| 6643s | are just kind of taking the the max |
| 6645s | stats available to them and just trying |
| 6647s | to get to a place where win conditions |
| 6649s | exist uh with a Stabler Health total as |
| 6652s | possible obviously there are exceptions |
| 6653s | to that denaturis has their own little |
| 6655s | Quest that they're getting on with right |
| 6656s | now but they are still trying to defend |
| 6657s | Health as well |
| 6659s | um but this is not looking as oppressive |
| 6661s | an opening for our boy Mega Alex |
| 6664s | going to bring it to Tempo Master tomb |
| 6666s | big seven damage swinging at the face |
| 6668s | that's all right not looking too bad |
| 6672s | yeah three on three picked up some mechs |
| 6676s | kind of an ugly choice though is this |
| 6679s | just level by whatever |
| 6685s | the problem is the whatever part of that |
| 6687s | though because the whatever part is a |
| 6689s | really miserable buy here oh |
| 6696s | um |
| 6697s | and buy the the other map |
| 6701s | I just think at this point because I |
| 6704s | Feel Like Satellites you know got a good |
| 6706s | base of operations here I feel like just |
| 6708s | getting to four quickly |
| 6710s | and then just hitting that scrap as soon |
| 6712s | as possible could really Propel him to |
| 6714s | uh a lot of points in this game yeah the |
| 6716s | fear I have though so I I do I kind of |
| 6719s | like this day on three a little bit |
| 6720s | because the fear I'd have in this |
| 6721s | situation is you know that beta Babbitt |
| 6724s | is reform in his early tripled right |
| 6726s | you'll be able to see that in the the |
| 6728s | history we will obviously seen it happen |
| 6730s | with the Risen Riders right so if you |
| 6731s | level to four here you're you're kind of |
| 6733s | a three minion Andy at that point with |
| 6735s | uh deflecto resets and nothing else |
| 6737s | going on you're probably getting hit for |
| 6740s | seven or eight maybe you'd imagine at |
| 6741s | that point and then suddenly you're in |
| 6743s | damage cap and you're in damage cap and |
| 6745s | you still don't have a full Board of |
| 6747s | minions at that point I guess so I guess |
| 6749s | that's not a good place to be |
| 6753s | as it happens |
| 6755s | be above it actually not that strong |
| 6766s | and not looking too bad at all for |
| 6768s | satellite dude |
| 6771s | yeah not sure if I can resolve how this |
| 6772s | fight would have gone if it was just a |
| 6774s | greedy level but yeah I think with how |
| 6776s | close this has ended up probably worth |
| 6778s | staying down to protect the health at |
| 6780s | this point I would guess at a loss but |
| 6782s | not a big loss yeah right if uh if it |
| 6785s | would have gone but you know like I said |
| 6786s | I respect it |
| 6788s | but it does have a triple locked in |
| 6790s | loaded ready to go though into five wait |
| 6792s | how early is this potential six song oh |
| 6795s | it's eight right |
| 6799s | yeah and I imagine the above it will |
| 6802s | just be taking the greedy triple into a |
| 6804s | six and then we'll be staying on five |
| 6805s | from this point but yeah worth keeping |
| 6806s | an eye on for sure |
| 6808s | it's a very very early five and that's a |
| 6811s | very very early calicos as well |
| 6818s | wow just goes walking forward does have |
| 6820s | trips yeah okay fine fine now just insta |
| 6825s | roll into drakari and uh sit back put |
| 6827s | your feet up and watch it go yeah or |
| 6830s | getting an extra taunt on board as well |
| 6831s | I like this actually yeah really good |
| 6833s | skipping the hero power for a turn just |
| 6834s | to get that extra taunted extra plus |
| 6836s | four plus four at the end of the turn |
| 6837s | good good stuff |
| 6839s | and actually a possibility that if this |
| 6841s | fight is won by Beta baby honestly |
| 6844s | you could just press the button press |
| 6845s | the button go to six does not seem that |
| 6848s | bad because it's nine right so it's even |
| 6851s | press the button press the other button |
| 6853s | with the error power yep |
| 6856s | so big fight I think for beer Babbitt to |
| 6858s | win just for Tavern buddy puzzle box |
| 6860s | proceedings that just tripled you |
| 6863s | already in the shop he's just triple Duo |
| 6865s | already in the shop yeah |
| 6867s | it will be active well at least one will |
| 6869s | be active next turn right with the fish |
| 6870s | yep |
| 6872s | hey Galaxy needs to hold on |
| 6877s | this looks like a hold this does look |
| 6879s | like a hold it's one one thing Mega |
| 6882s | relics does not want to do in this |
| 6883s | amazing position he's found himself in |
| 6885s | in the tournament so far he's like |
| 6887s | taking a mega loss go out eight against |
| 6890s | zero points and let other players catch |
| 6892s | up |
| 6894s | so needs to stay away from the deflectos |
| 6897s | a hundred percent if he's gonna have any |
| 6899s | chance of getting out of this I think |
| 6901s | that's not it that's not it at all |
| 6905s | still okay though cause it was a value |
| 6907s | trade right yeah but there's not there's |
| 6910s | nothing actually coming out of the fish |
| 6911s | it's just the undead buff yeah so you |
| 6913s | need to completely value trade |
| 6915s | everything else before going into the |
| 6916s | Divine Shields I think to have a chance |
| 6918s | to find that one out and now down at |
| 6920s | nine HP having a bad old time what |
| 6924s | triple Duo |
| 6925s | mm-hmm |
| 6929s | the triple itself a good air safe it's |
| 6934s | going to be going up against uh |
| 6940s | oh my |
| 6941s | just nothing |
| 6943s | really survival Leroy survival Leroy is |
| 6947s | probably what it's gonna have to be yeah |
| 6950s | for the fish factoring in that you are |
| 6953s | nazothia it's a much better card than it |
| 6955s | is on a lot of Heroes where it is |
| 6957s | already very effective in the situation |
| 6962s | just max Tempo now and you're probably |
| 6964s | gonna go like Leroy Duo fish as you're |
| 6968s | positioning from here I would imagine |
| 6970s | I would guess so yeah not that um I was |
| 6974s | gonna say the way golden Duo works now |
| 6976s | if you're not familiar it's not two |
| 6977s | copies it's you get the get a copy of |
| 6979s | the mini to the left and right of the |
| 6981s | duo when it's gone |
| 6984s | so he's actually gonna go for fish and |
| 6986s | the the undead instead okay |
| 6989s | the valley the Leroy a little bit higher |
| 6992s | personally but yeah sure |
| 6993s | it's a little bit of a menagerie isn't |
| 6996s | he as well though yeah true |
| 7000s | yeah either way it's always fish if |
| 7002s | you're wondering |
| 7003s | oh it's always fish yeah |
| 7010s | it's like going against to sorrow with a |
| 7011s | again another bit of a mixed bag of a |
| 7014s | comp some mess |
| 7016s | yeah should have enough token summons to |
| 7019s | get through all this stuff I think on |
| 7021s | Mega Alex's side although the way that |
| 7022s | attack order worked with the Divine |
| 7024s | Shield was very very juicy and no leave |
| 7026s | nobody from the fish because the minion |
| 7028s | had died anyway but I think the stealth |
| 7031s | 1612 is still gonna get there yeah still |
| 7034s | stepping up worse right yeah even if he |
| 7036s | lost it was seven so at least still |
| 7038s | alive but yeah looking good there Mega |
| 7041s | Alex might be on the the road to |
| 7042s | recovery right now to again just bag a |
| 7045s | few points |
| 7047s | oh yeah victim Specter I've forgotten |
| 7049s | all about this one of my absolute |
| 7052s | favorite quests from back in the day |
| 7053s | enables you to do some absolutely |
| 7055s | degenerate things |
| 7058s | it's all's word of the day degeneracy |
| 7062s | [Music] |
| 7067s | a lot of rolling going down here |
| 7070s | kind of a weird outcome if you think |
| 7071s | about it right to end up with a Battle |
| 7073s | Master unless you tie you would not |
| 7075s | expect the Battle Master to have been |
| 7077s | the most recent thing that died right |
| 7081s | I didn't like that one either here's a |
| 7083s | goal for the trip |
| 7086s | oh this is a good little pickup because |
| 7088s | we just sold to sort of fight on the |
| 7091s | other side of the last round |
| 7093s | uh yeah this threefold is going to get |
| 7095s | work done |
| 7098s | if it can hit him dead Ron's wardens and |
| 7101s | the uh for drop death row that I |
| 7104s | definitely don't know the name of the uh |
| 7105s | tutu that drops a reborn |
| 7109s | that's what I call it |
| 7117s | again another very Scrappy game so far |
| 7121s | and it feels just a little bit |
| 7123s | terrifying that this game won turn nine |
| 7127s | no one's dead but Jana says on 42 Health |
| 7131s | as the cat like this is |
| 7134s | I don't know hey wait how is no hero |
| 7137s | power cat still yes that's what I mean |
| 7139s | still just marching away in this game |
| 7142s | well I guess that's how okay oh yeah we |
| 7145s | did see them Jesse gaming early on right |
| 7147s | with the the Wrath Weavers it's a good |
| 7150s | strap for the cat |
| 7155s | unfortunately for Janice even if they |
| 7158s | win this fight they're not exactly going |
| 7159s | to push penguin out that's one air fight |
| 7161s | they don't really have control over the |
| 7163s | kills yeah and only one player currently |
| 7165s | within damage cap and I would suspect |
| 7167s | that player is quite strong this combat |
| 7169s | cause it's Mega Alex JP and we just saw |
| 7171s | the uh the duo and the survival go off |
| 7173s | on the previous turn yes |
| 7176s | that was a troll there as well shirosa |
| 7178s | getting smacked down to three a little |
| 7180s | bit unfortunate there |
| 7182s | eight Mega Alex survive it looked like |
| 7184s | Mega Alex didn't survive |
| 7187s | oh golden Battle Master from the victim |
| 7189s | Specter though is huge trust is like |
| 7192s | yeah I went down to three on purpose |
| 7195s | played for and got |
| 7197s | your axis try and pump some attack onto |
| 7200s | this battle Master with the magnetism |
| 7206s | okay looks good to me |
| 7211s | and can we see if a 21-173 beats tombs |
| 7216s | whole board please |
| 7219s | sir |
| 7223s | uh it does not |
| 7226s | it's quite close though yeah I wouldn't |
| 7229s | feel overly comfortable having a strong |
| 7231s | essay but either way if tomb can live |
| 7234s | that's a lot of juice going down |
| 7235s | meanwhile we have taunt.com coming out |
| 7238s | from a bit about it |
| 7241s | and did get hold of the dracaris |
| 7244s | all right |
| 7246s | [Music] |
| 7253s | .com does not exist I was just checking |
| 7256s | what you were you know tacitly |
| 7257s | advertising on our screen |
| 7260s | dots |
| 7274s | this is just how you know you're having |
| 7276s | a bad game isn't it yeah |
| 7278s | you're buying back way too many undeads |
| 7281s | on these yep |
| 7284s | you're not doing great out there |
| 7286s | it does feel it a lot different I know |
| 7288s | we're only a few games in but it feels a |
| 7290s | lot different from yesterday I feel like |
| 7291s | yesterday we saw much more Sleek comps |
| 7294s | right you know just very sort of smooth |
| 7296s | transitions into builds whereas today I |
| 7299s | feel like the players are playing very |
| 7300s | very Scrappy and just trying to grab |
| 7302s | those points where they can |
| 7305s | anything for not eight |
| 7308s | right that was a really cool interaction |
| 7311s | by the way that I have never seen before |
| 7313s | in my life and I have now filed in the |
| 7315s | mental Bank of call interactions |
| 7318s | um so tams in hero power was used at the |
| 7321s | start killed the soul splitter so that |
| 7324s | went first because hero Powers go before |
| 7326s | cards in terms of startup combat effects |
| 7328s | so in the soul splitter died came back |
| 7331s | to life in its reborn form without |
| 7332s | reborn on its itself and then said oh |
| 7335s | start of combat I give a friendly Undead |
| 7337s | reborn I'm a friendly Undead of myself |
| 7341s | I'm My Own friend |
| 7345s | relatable right when you don't have any |
| 7347s | other friends to give reborn to so you |
| 7349s | just have to give it to yourself |
| 7353s | jumping over with the NSA again so much |
| 7355s | health on the kitty cat must be uh it |
| 7358s | was can't wait till this fight's over |
| 7361s | because you've got to assume with what |
| 7363s | so many players under under the the |
| 7365s | barrier that someone's gonna die |
| 7368s | you are Mega tilting if you're gonna say |
| 7371s | right now it's like come on I cannot |
| 7373s | hold on to this much longer I need |
| 7375s | people to die how weird though can this |
| 7378s | go on because you'd be annoyed but then |
| 7380s | again you'd sit there and be like I am |
| 7382s | on 42. yeah like that's pretty good with |
| 7385s | basically no hero power yes |
| 7388s | yes but that you you know there is a |
| 7390s | point coming where this runs out because |
| 7392s | you are still very mono minion at this |
| 7394s | point with the way you'll go I mean you |
| 7396s | do have the supplementary uh wrath |
| 7397s | Weaver thrown in there as well but you |
| 7400s | are you need some people to start dying |
| 7401s | very very rapidly and now what |
| 7404s | four or five players in fact are within |
| 7406s | damage at that range so we could see a |
| 7409s | massacre at the end of this compound |
| 7411s | gonna be interesting as well satellite |
| 7412s | here with this board with this sort of a |
| 7414s | slightly more old school looking Mech |
| 7417s | board with that Omega Buster on it but |
| 7419s | still strong enough now with the triple |
| 7421s | scrap available for next turn |
| 7425s | are you ever gonna sacrifice a menace |
| 7427s | just to buy one now to save two gold |
| 7430s | because Burlington gold does not seem |
| 7433s | fun here it doesn't but I feel like this |
| 7436s | just gives you more chance of actually |
| 7437s | not dying right just keeping the Menace |
| 7440s | on board which uh at 10 Health I can get |
| 7443s | behind |
| 7444s | hahaha |
| 7449s | uh good old 24 179 |
| 7452s | with wind Fury |
| 7454s | and again you see the power of straight |
| 7457s | shot as a tech card right yeah small |
| 7459s | small straight shot don't kill the |
| 7461s | things you're attacking into just remove |
| 7463s | the torn and leave them alive |
| 7468s | yeah this is not looking fantastic is it |
| 7471s | with the first deflector going out |
| 7472s | there's a lot of Health to punch through |
| 7473s | here |
| 7476s | and what's the most thing dying |
| 7478s | currently I guess one of these other two |
| 7480s | minions is always gonna die at this |
| 7481s | point |
| 7484s | wins that fight with the Battle Master |
| 7486s | alive it is simply death even more so |
| 7488s | now satellite gets dispatched |
| 7492s | most importantly let's go and check out |
| 7493s | Janice after this because I want to see |
| 7495s | what the options are |
| 7498s | and that will be a second boogie monster |
| 7500s | as well for Shiro off the uh victim |
| 7502s | Specter hero power I believe a victim |
| 7504s | inspector Quest reward |
| 7506s | good stuff |
| 7509s | [Music] |
| 7516s | so golden replicated minutes was taken |
| 7519s | here yeah yeah I think so okay |
| 7525s | oh we got a broken discover situation no |
| 7528s | no yeah yeah USA was moving minions |
| 7530s | right so okay |
| 7533s | you go for the filamental |
| 7538s | lots of free money going around here |
| 7541s | it's an incredibly powerful demon setup |
| 7544s | right but it's just the nature of demons |
| 7546s | is that okay you might end up keeping |
| 7548s | this uh this golden wrath Weaver but you |
| 7550s | are gonna have to find something else to |
| 7551s | do with your other five or six board |
| 7553s | spots if you're gonna turn this into |
| 7554s | seven game winning |
| 7559s | yeah they definitely feel like they have |
| 7561s | a much uh lower ceiling right demons and |
| 7565s | then a lot of the other uh builds right |
| 7566s | now that's right |
| 7569s | but again uh there's no there's only |
| 7572s | Mega Alex right that can actually hit |
| 7574s | threshold right now to put the lobby in |
| 7576s | check so yeah even at this point if uh |
| 7578s | if anyone you know on demons are just |
| 7580s | gonna say I'll just get top three top |
| 7583s | two just to bag a lot of points and |
| 7585s | that's probably just worthwhile at this |
| 7586s | at this point in the game can we have a |
| 7588s | quick Mega Alex update please actually |
| 7590s | because it's second or better that Mega |
| 7593s | Alex and needs to find and they probably |
| 7595s | turn the corner now yeah this has turned |
| 7597s | the |
| 7597s | Cornerstone the corner this is a very |
| 7600s | second place looking board if you can |
| 7602s | get the right match-ups along the way |
| 7606s | and then Becca Mega Alex is basically |
| 7609s | building some kind of uh Mega Mech right |
| 7611s | now because that Boombox there is gonna |
| 7614s | start popping off a lot with these fish |
| 7615s | yeah and take note of the setup here by |
| 7617s | the way as well it's a little bit |
| 7619s | strange uh taunted |
| 7622s | um angles is very unusual to see but |
| 7625s | Mega Alex doesn't particularly care if |
| 7627s | that kangals were to die first he just |
| 7630s | wants to guarantee a kangars and a um |
| 7634s | and a Boombox going into the fish |
| 7636s | specifically right so this is when I |
| 7639s | said getting the right matchups these |
| 7641s | are the match-ups he did not want to get |
| 7643s | just the massive Health stat sticks on |
| 7645s | the other side but because the baron is |
| 7647s | consistently dodging I think he may |
| 7650s | actually steal so much damage even |
| 7653s | against this okay now he's run out |
| 7666s | super cool combat even the 1311 Eternal |
| 7669s | Knights right like it's not perfect but |
| 7672s | it's something it's gonna be more than |
| 7674s | enough damage to nathuristic it's gonna |
| 7677s | be going out cat time it's a cat turn |
| 7682s | all right odd cat gets them gets done as |
| 7686s | well yeah good stuff so Tim goes down |
| 7688s | and Shiro goes down the denaturius and |
| 7690s | we're gonna get a double discover here |
| 7692s | on the honesty for the cap |
| 7695s | who did you pick for bandwagon |
| 7698s | uh I forget oh Mega |
| 7701s | and it wasn't |
| 7703s | oh we both about it right yeah yeah yes |
| 7706s | yeah |
| 7709s | we can be on the same team well I picked |
| 7710s | Peter Babbitt and you picked Betty |
| 7712s | Batman the Betty babit |
| 7721s | yeah oh potato you say Shaman I say |
| 7723s | Shaman let's Call the Whole Thing Off |
| 7726s | good to get some minions in play this is |
| 7728s | looking more I mean in a weird way I |
| 7731s | think like Gianna say he's got a good |
| 7733s | chance of getting out of this in at |
| 7735s | least top two purely because of the |
| 7737s | health total right now right just let |
| 7739s | the others kill each other and then |
| 7740s | that'll just leave two people yeah I |
| 7743s | think a lot of this will come down to |
| 7745s | whether anyone can fight Mega Alex and |
| 7747s | live to tell the tale right because |
| 7749s | people need people need scouting |
| 7752s | information at this point they need to |
| 7755s | know because it's a board that can be |
| 7756s | interacted with by various tech cards |
| 7758s | you just need to know exactly what the |
| 7760s | setup is and what you need to do but |
| 7763s | fighting against uh Mega Alex right now |
| 7765s | and living to tell the tale is a very |
| 7767s | very tricky thing to do yeah also a nice |
| 7769s | update as well like yanase is currently |
| 7771s | above the threat uh Health threshold for |
| 7774s | the puzzle box Quest as well very true |
| 7776s | so keep an eye on that |
| 7778s | those pesky demons keeping his health up |
| 7780s | even though he's actually hurting |
| 7781s | himself every single turn oh be about it |
| 7784s | now as well triple end of turn |
| 7786s | with the magnetic Buffs looks like |
| 7789s | walking Fort has departed though which |
| 7791s | is interesting with the tripled up ended |
| 7793s | turn so there's not actually that much |
| 7794s | stat scaling left |
| 7796s | or steal from the fish and the baron now |
| 7801s | oh no it's a disaster |
| 7804s | look at the setup as well because I |
| 7806s | believe zap does ignore stealth says |
| 7808s | that would have still made the good |
| 7810s | attacks if they were available you'd see |
| 7812s | the small Buffs even though they're |
| 7814s | stealth on the fish and the baron meant |
| 7816s | that the kangars was always going to get |
| 7818s | sniped first in that situation really |
| 7821s | really good stuff here from Mega Alice |
| 7823s | yeah so well thought out and you can see |
| 7826s | why right look at the work this is doing |
| 7827s | and believe it or not we're not even |
| 7829s | close to this turn ending if you know |
| 7832s | because of the amount of stats here so |
| 7833s | we'll see if this one kicks out there's |
| 7835s | still a ton of Health on the scrap but |
| 7837s | we had like we saw with the Battle |
| 7838s | Master it's that much health enough uh |
| 7841s | there's still a fish and still a baron |
| 7842s | so I doubt it or checking out the |
| 7845s | discovers on the cat finds the massive |
| 7847s | utility drone okay good stuff |
| 7850s | uh spoilers by the way beta Babbitt died |
| 7853s | in that fight if you're very curious as |
| 7855s | to how that's gonna resolve |
| 7860s | d |
| 7867s | and this is the stuff right Fiona say he |
| 7869s | is just one by one just taking one huge |
| 7872s | Minion from each of the Dead opponents |
| 7874s | and just filling out a board space with |
| 7876s | it keeping those giant wrath Weavers to |
| 7879s | go alongside one by one piece by piece |
| 7884s | right now he's not that much bigger than |
| 7887s | beta Babbitt was this turn or last turn |
| 7889s | and beat about it died to Mega Alex |
| 7892s | that's the thing Mega Alex like you said |
| 7895s | guess what top two because he's on 14 |
| 7897s | right yep that's putting the lobby check |
| 7900s | literally as fast as it could be humanly |
| 7903s | done so Mega Alex has a lot to play for |
| 7905s | and is hoping against hope that penguin |
| 7909s | into Sora just to get out of this game |
| 7915s | it's above there on the uh true shot |
| 7921s | although it does remove the potential of |
| 7924s | what you were saying sometimes when you |
| 7925s | want the actual small damage to go |
| 7927s | through yeah right |
| 7929s | yeah a few interactions where that can |
| 7931s | really help we saw it with a Mega Buster |
| 7933s | there's also the interaction with rylack |
| 7935s | right where if you get a straight |
| 7936s | vanilla straight shot and then run it |
| 7938s | into a rylack they're both three fours |
| 7940s | so the rylack lives and then you just |
| 7941s | remove taunt from it so it doesn't |
| 7943s | necessarily activate the battle cries in |
| 7944s | a timely fashion |
| 7947s | such a thing in this Lobby though yeah |
| 7949s | it's just Sora going up against Mega |
| 7951s | Alex I think and just look at it to |
| 7953s | sora's board |
| 7954s | um it's not there is it |
| 7956s | no it's like a scam board if your |
| 7959s | opponent wasn't just scamming you first |
| 7961s | because |
| 7962s | it's just not gonna be good enough |
| 7964s | [Music] |
| 7974s | thanks for the update oh Innkeeper I |
| 7977s | guess |
| 7979s | different entities |
| 7984s | oh I'm not sure there's enough scam |
| 7986s | potential going on here especially when |
| 7988s | the uh the straight shot hits like that |
| 7990s | sniping away one of those most valuable |
| 7992s | Reborns now what's biggest minion |
| 7995s | straight into venomous though |
| 7997s | I still think uh we got three more kills |
| 8000s | on venomous okay |
| 8003s | all right well about what it lasted I |
| 8005s | guess yep so it's gonna go out |
| 8011s | oh barely tried its best in the end just |
| 8015s | to slam into the venomous but yeah too |
| 8016s | many re-summons from the mech coming out |
| 8018s | I imagine we are going to be witnessing |
| 8022s | Mega Alex doing something very similar |
| 8023s | to penguin song |
| 8025s | which means Mega Alex has the lobby in |
| 8030s | check in the absolute bare minimum |
| 8032s | number of games seven seven six or |
| 8036s | better from this point Mega Alex is just |
| 8039s | on a tear at the moment four game day |
| 8042s | let's go |
| 8043s | [Music] |
| 8045s | I was blessing right at the end I wonder |
| 8054s | I'm choosing to believe I'm just picking |
| 8057s | it now |
| 8061s | any Tech is there gonna be any Tech |
| 8063s | coming out from Jana say that's the big |
| 8065s | question there is |
| 8067s | one fish vulnerable to Blaster right now |
| 8072s | he's also once again vulnerable to Zach |
| 8075s | because the Buffs that we saw on the |
| 8077s | minions were clearly spellcroft in the |
| 8079s | previous turn they were not permanent |
| 8080s | Buffs so there is still a zap |
| 8082s | vulnerability available |
| 8085s | but without any of that disruption |
| 8088s | I don't think he's got nearly enough to |
| 8090s | have this covered |
| 8091s | um |
| 8093s | I mean some lucky Snipes can just get |
| 8094s | there if you smack the baron straight |
| 8096s | away yeah after his horns go down |
| 8099s | it's just the fact that there's just |
| 8100s | Minions that actually nearly died to a |
| 8105s | boom box right you know what I mean like |
| 8107s | they're still on okay not now because |
| 8108s | they got rid of one of them but they |
| 8109s | were just the fact that there were still |
| 8110s | small Minions on board is terrifying |
| 8120s | yeah it doesn't look like the right Tech |
| 8122s | options to me obviously there's not a |
| 8124s | criticism of yarn to say he doesn't |
| 8126s | necessarily know exactly what he's up |
| 8127s | against yet but we will see how this |
| 8129s | resolves from here |
| 8133s | no yeah the straight shot's now not |
| 8135s | going to get a chance to attack anything |
| 8137s | but that torn minion which is a massive |
| 8140s | go first for Mega Alex without that the |
| 8143s | straight shot would have had one |
| 8145s | opportunity to kill something relevant |
| 8146s | past that point |
| 8149s | here we go |
| 8153s | I think it's already over right a great |
| 8155s | hit for the Leroy it's about one million |
| 8158s | damage left the fish is gonna get sniped |
| 8161s | but it's still just so many hits |
| 8165s | give it a minute |
| 8169s | [Music] |
| 8171s | I love battlegrounds |
| 8174s | oh sure just attack into the only thing |
| 8176s | that has hell yeah |
| 8178s | there's one Baron down |
| 8181s | never mind |
| 8183s | but here's the thing right now there's |
| 8185s | gonna be wait how much is that actually |
| 8187s | 21 okay so half of the health gone uh |
| 8192s | and you want to say that did not look |
| 8194s | close did it obviously there was the |
| 8196s | fortunate you know hitting of and taking |
| 8198s | out the uh the true shots of the second |
| 8201s | attack didn't work but |
| 8203s | that did not look close enough for |
| 8205s | Janice to be confident right now oh Mega |
| 8208s | Alex two six uh let's stay here because |
| 8210s | the hunt for tech cards is definitely on |
| 8212s | uh Janice but if Lorinda could just keep |
| 8214s | an eye on what Mega Alex is doing in |
| 8216s | terms of playing around tech cards on |
| 8218s | the other side that would be fantastic |
| 8224s | hey does this true shot have to be first |
| 8227s | stay in that position right if you go |
| 8231s | first you still only attack into the two |
| 8234s | taunt minions right which is kind of |
| 8236s | doing their work for them at that point |
| 8238s | anyway oh |
| 8240s | third-part minion |
| 8243s | third talk meaning in two Divine shields |
| 8245s | on the Barons as well yeah trying to |
| 8247s | play around the zap out as best as |
| 8250s | possible |
| 8252s | it just can't be stopped he cannot be |
| 8255s | stopped |
| 8258s | poor Janice |
| 8260s | to normal man |
| 8265s | doing his best here adding some |
| 8267s | additional taunts as well |
| 8269s | get in that Leroy pickup as well for |
| 8271s | some extra Tech but |
| 8273s | oh it doesn't at least to My Immortal |
| 8277s | eyes subtle does not look like it's |
| 8279s | enough and as the insta hit on the boom |
| 8281s | again |
| 8283s | yeah this was a smart idea right small |
| 8285s | torn because yeah this way if you could |
| 8287s | get the sindura to go off and then have |
| 8290s | maybe something live and then attack |
| 8292s | into the tutu tone then maybe you could |
| 8295s | delay the chain of activations I don't |
| 8297s | think it was ever going to work out that |
| 8299s | way or with what Jana Zay was being |
| 8301s | shown better idea than anything else at |
| 8303s | that point |
| 8304s | yeah there was literally only so much |
| 8306s | you can do especially when you know you |
| 8308s | are likely to have one turn |
| 8310s | hang on the fish both went incredibly |
| 8313s | early |
| 8314s | which means that is true this is only |
| 8316s | dealing wait a minute more damage to |
| 8318s | that one you want to say actually get it |
| 8320s | never mind five plus two but the Fight |
| 8323s | Continues because that is only seven |
| 8325s | damage |
| 8327s | you can see the difference right even if |
| 8329s | you can't get to the Barons if you can |
| 8331s | get rid of those fish earlier yes it's |
| 8333s | not like they can re-summon solitary |
| 8336s | boom boxes as much as they want that's |
| 8338s | fine it's the fish being there while |
| 8341s | more and more and more boom boxes go off |
| 8343s | that's what's killing me because then |
| 8345s | when each fish dies it's just triggering |
| 8348s | 20 Boombox death rattles yeah it's Baron |
| 8351s | at the end of it yeah the death rattle |
| 8352s | soak's absolutely huge the idea now is |
| 8355s | what can Mega Alex do to help out did |
| 8357s | Mega Alex just get a little bit unlucky |
| 8359s | is this third taunt gonna stick around |
| 8361s | but there's stealth that's a big deal |
| 8363s | stealth is massive yeah and it's got a |
| 8366s | Boombox to finish up as well |
| 8371s | okay chooses to go both Barons with the |
| 8374s | protection I was wondering if one of the |
| 8376s | fish might be protected instead just to |
| 8378s | make sure you've guaranteed all of those |
| 8380s | Boombox juices into it yeah do you think |
| 8382s | this is just a mega Alex saying uh it |
| 8384s | was unlikely that they hit both fish so |
| 8386s | quickly and if they just didn't I win so |
| 8388s | they won't next time do you know what I |
| 8390s | mean yeah I'm not sure like I imagine |
| 8392s | that Mega Alex knows what the num like |
| 8395s | wait you don't know what the numbers are |
| 8397s | but you probably have a reasonably good |
| 8398s | idea of what's more important a fish |
| 8400s | dying early or just having two Barons |
| 8402s | alive for the entire fight |
| 8404s | um and he's just basing it off of that |
| 8406s | more so than anything else but certainly |
| 8408s | my instincts just feel like if you have |
| 8410s | a fish die as the second to last minion |
| 8412s | you feel pretty guaranteed to win that |
| 8415s | fight from but I might be wrong on the |
| 8417s | way I'm looking now |
| 8421s | there's an extra Boombox on there as |
| 8423s | well so that's extra props too and yeah |
| 8427s | just just hit the Boombox every single |
| 8429s | time yep every single day and so the fun |
| 8433s | begins |
| 8434s | okay Divine Shield so big |
| 8437s | again just every extra attack and death |
| 8439s | rather getting old okay it's huge and |
| 8442s | this |
| 8444s | okay it feels like he's getting close to |
| 8447s | good enough now though subtle yeah with |
| 8449s | all of the Death Rows that have gone |
| 8451s | into these fish already they are going |
| 8452s | to get doubled up by the Barons |
| 8453s | everything's coming back I think this |
| 8455s | one is already over it's just a matter |
| 8457s | of whether 21 can be dodged how much |
| 8459s | damage does this fish do how many boom |
| 8462s | boxes can you kill it looks like the |
| 8464s | answer might be close to zero and oh |
| 8467s | it's going to be incredible million |
| 8470s | damage coming out for Mega Alex it is |
| 8473s | three games in a row Clean Sweep 21 |
| 8477s | points out of 21 and Raven if he does |
| 8481s | this again we're all going home the |
| 8483s | tournament's over |
| 8485s | I |
| 8486s | I just don't even know what to say we |
| 8488s | talk about odds a lot in Battlegrounds |
| 8491s | what the heck are the odds of this |
| 8493s | happening because and don't get me wrong |
| 8494s | this is I'm not saying oh it's just |
| 8496s | lucky because Mega Alex is proving they |
| 8498s | know what they're doing they are not |
| 8499s | here to mess around but three wins out |
| 8502s | of three lobbies in the top eight in |
| 8504s | lobby Legends is frankly incredible and |
| 8507s | I'm just I'm just expecting a fourth win |
| 8510s | now so I think that's just how the day's |
| 8512s | gonna go do you want to lock it in now |
| 8514s | uh bandwagon turn zero Mega yeah |
| 8518s | uh because turn zeros exist obviously |
| 8521s | that's just a not a nonsense phrase for |
| 8522s | nonsense people as we all well know |
| 8525s | um yeah I mean what an incredible |
| 8526s | performance it has been up until this |
| 8528s | point three very three entirely Mech |
| 8532s | based games four Mega Alex but all |
| 8535s | incredibly different in the way that |
| 8536s | they were executed particularly that |
| 8538s | last one which would burn pick up |
| 8541s | um obviously leaning into that well that |
| 8542s | was the idea of the pick from the start |
| 8544s | I was talking about the Radio Star |
| 8545s | interaction and obviously Max and |
| 8547s | Boombox were the other things that were |
| 8548s | very easily available as that one |
| 8550s | crucial turn that you just had to live |
| 8552s | through to get the duo to go off was |
| 8554s | able to do that and then from that point |
| 8556s | no looking back with double fish double |
| 8558s | fish way too strong Mega Alex way too |
| 8561s | strong looking like he's running away |
| 8562s | with this tournament right now yeah and |
| 8564s | frankly I'm going to give you you know |
| 8565s | you guys here watching a bit of a heads |
| 8567s | up it's getting pretty silly so we're |
| 8569s | gonna go to a quick break but you need |
| 8571s | to be back for the next game because it |
| 8572s | seriously could just be the last as Mega |
| 8575s | Alex might just sweep the whole thing in |
| 8577s | incredible fashion at go anywhere we'll |
| 8579s | be right back with game four Lobby |
| 8581s | Legends |
| 8593s | [Music] |
| 8605s | thank you |
| 8620s | [Music] |
| 8650s | thank you |
| 8654s | [Music] |
| 8668s | foreign |

| 8746s | foreign |
| 8751s | [Music] |
| 8770s | welcome back everyone we are getting |
| 8772s | ready for our fourth game of today's |
| 8774s | Lobby Legends finals and it could |
| 8778s | in some worlds be the last funnily |
| 8781s | enough so we're in that weird spot right |
| 8782s | now so it's been a crazy day it's odd |
| 8785s | that the second day has a chance of |
| 8786s | being faster than the first day uh with |
| 8788s | this format so if it happens it happens |
| 8790s | and it'll be quite a memorable moment |
| 8793s | um but before we get into that we can |
| 8795s | check out uh so what the uh sorry what |
| 8797s | happened at that game as I'm stumbling |
| 8799s | over my own words because I'm in that |
| 8801s | much of shock so I'll take us through |
| 8802s | what happened yeah I mean what happened |
| 8804s | to this game was this many many many |
| 8807s | many many many many times over uh Mega |
| 8810s | Alex as I said before the break had the |
| 8813s | one turn where the duo was about to fire |
| 8816s | the duo was made golden he just needed |
| 8817s | to survive that turn then he was going |
| 8819s | to get incredible value in incredible |
| 8821s | Tempo uh from the golden Duo activation |
| 8825s | managed to transition that so nicely uh |
| 8828s | into this infinite Boombox comp with the |
| 8830s | Barons lots of really crunchy late game |
| 8833s | decisions as well in terms of which Tech |
| 8836s | card is my opponent gonna go for what |
| 8838s | should I play around what's my |
| 8839s | positioning what do I stealth what do I |
| 8841s | Divine Shield what do I give stats to to |
| 8843s | play around zap to play around tunnel |
| 8845s | Blaster as well do I need to get |
| 8846s | everything above three Health all kinds |
| 8849s | of Madness going in but regardless |
| 8851s | ended up is a seven seven Lucky Sevens |
| 8856s | all the way through Mega Alex absolutely |
| 8858s | farming the slots right now 21 points |
| 8861s | Lobby is in check and if you do not know |
| 8864s | what that means you have to get to 20 |
| 8866s | points first before you can win this |
| 8869s | tournament once you are at 20 points you |
| 8872s | win a Lobby you win a game that is all |
| 8875s | you have to do and the tournament is |
| 8877s | over and you are taking first place so |
| 8879s | Mega Alex by some distance now is the |
| 8883s | only player eligible to win this |
| 8885s | tournament at this point in time and |
| 8887s | we'll have a minimum of two chances |
| 8889s | because there's only penguin that can |
| 8891s | catch up yeah next game and then there's |
| 8893s | another game minimum so two goals at it |
| 8895s | and we take a look at the puzzle box |
| 8897s | there will we play more than seven games |
| 8899s | today I'm feeling confident so I'm just |
| 8901s | saying I'm feeling confident yeah it's |
| 8905s | not going great uh yeah I mean we're |
| 8907s | showing this again because we've |
| 8908s | actually not ticked any of them right |
| 8911s | like all the ones that could have just |
| 8912s | been checked off by now |
| 8914s | um player going to Tavern six by turn |
| 8915s | eight player winning with 35 effective |
| 8917s | Health at least four different players |
| 8919s | winning a game these are all things that |
| 8920s | could have well I suppose we haven't had |
| 8922s | four games yet so at least four |
| 8923s | different players couldn't have won okay |
| 8925s | oh wait I misread I thought it was will |
| 8928s | one player win four different games |
| 8932s | but all of this is still up in the air |
| 8934s | so Mega Alex could just send us home |
| 8937s | with a very very incomplete puzzle box |
| 8939s | if he manages to take this one home at |
| 8941s | this point |
| 8942s | yeah and again I'm still just in shock I |
| 8944s | just want to see more I I think it would |
| 8946s | be incredible of course if Mega relics |
| 8948s | just wins this game and then it's just |
| 8950s | one of those highlight moments where |
| 8952s | it's just I cannot believe someone did |
| 8954s | that but because it's so exciting I want |
| 8957s | there to be more games so it's a bit of |
| 8959s | a weird moment to be stuck in here but |
| 8961s | again just to reiterate if Mega Alex |
| 8963s | wins the next game finishes first wins |
| 8966s | that game they've won the tournament the |
| 8968s | tournament ends |
| 8970s | fantastic |
| 8971s | even if he doesn't so that's a whole |
| 8974s | extra game at worst because there is |
| 8976s | only |
| 8977s | um |
| 8978s | penguin that can catch him if penguin |
| 8981s | still Pegasus does uh do well I think |
| 8983s | it's second or joint second third or |
| 8987s | something that is enough right because I |
| 8989s | think it was 13.5 and there's no such |
| 8991s | thing as tied for first which is what |
| 8992s | 6.5 would be oh was it 30 I thought it |
| 8995s | was 14.5 uh maybe I'm wrong but either |
| 8997s | way we'll uh we'll get that confirmed |
| 8998s | but yeah it's going to be a very very |
| 9000s | unlikely scenario that Mega Alex does |
| 9003s | not have at least three bytes of the |
| 9005s | Apple from here right to be able to get |
| 9006s | over the line thank you just got |
| 9007s | confirmation it was 13.5 so yeah it's |
| 9009s | gonna have to be a win for penguin to be |
| 9011s | able to tear this one up so yeah it's uh |
| 9014s | it's a long road from here for anyone |
| 9016s | that isn't named Mega Alex to be coming |
| 9018s | out of this one and now this is where |
| 9021s | the hate might kick in right and I have |
| 9023s | not just I have had this debate with |
| 9026s | several people I've had this debate as |
| 9028s | the Observer while Lorinda has been |
| 9030s | casting and I've been sort of shouting |
| 9031s | things in his ear being obnoxious you |
| 9033s | have to have this argument with yourself |
| 9035s | what's the best way to stop Mega Alex |
| 9038s | win okay easy just to go Max Tempo |
| 9041s | against him hate him out of the game |
| 9043s | kind of do inefficient things for Just |
| 9045s | Deal 15 damage to Mega Alex every turn |
| 9047s | where that's possible or is it to win |
| 9049s | the game yourself right like are you |
| 9052s | sabotaging Yourself by trying to |
| 9054s | sabotage Mega Alex to the point where |
| 9056s | you're making it so you can't win the |
| 9058s | game and then Mega Alex just ends up |
| 9060s | winning anyway is it in fact I should be |
| 9062s | on the couch right now so exactly is it |
| 9065s | just a better idea to just say okay I |
| 9066s | need to focus on my game and just go you |
| 9069s | know pedal to the metal and try and make |
| 9071s | sure I Spike into a first myself I think |
| 9074s | it's a very interesting debate |
| 9075s | personally |
| 9076s | I mean a lot of it is also just what's |
| 9078s | going on right because I think that is |
| 9080s | flexible you don't just make that choice |
| 9082s | now right absolutely again just a |
| 9084s | reminder bandwagon picks nice and early |
| 9086s | I'm gonna do the honorable thing and |
| 9088s | remind my co-caster to think about it |
| 9090s | now |
| 9091s | I mean there's only one choice isn't |
| 9093s | there yeah there really is |
| 9097s | to sorrow right |
| 9099s | that's the one |
| 9102s | friend |
| 9110s | Alex has found himself with the AFK in |
| 9113s | this Lobby which is a fine choice in |
| 9115s | terms of uh feast or famine kind of |
| 9117s | action oh very nice outcome yeah getting |
| 9121s | the AFK match up for the barrel very |
| 9123s | nice uh barov just to get the |
| 9126s | housekeeping out of the way uh barrel of |
| 9127s | a high value pick in this particular |
| 9129s | Lobby because uh these are high MMR |
| 9133s | players playing on tournament accounts |
| 9135s | which if you aren't familiar uh low MMR |
| 9138s | accounts actually have different armor |
| 9139s | values for the hero so if these players |
| 9141s | were to queue up on their main account |
| 9143s | on ladder a hero like baroff would |
| 9145s | actually have significantly less armor |
| 9147s | for them so |
| 9148s | um the idea being some heroes are just |
| 9150s | better in highly skilled players hands |
| 9152s | so things like barov just get massively |
| 9155s | buffed in a Lobby like this where they |
| 9156s | have monstrous amounts of armor as well |
| 9159s | as the incredibly High skill cap that uh |
| 9161s | barov does have |
| 9162s | and just to take a note about the uh the |
| 9165s | the overlay that you're looking at and |
| 9167s | the reason Mega Alex's uh health is in |
| 9169s | Gold has a little gold Sheen to it is |
| 9171s | because they have the lobby in check so |
| 9173s | as we well if we progress through the |
| 9175s | day |
| 9176s | in check we will see you know more |
| 9178s | players have that sort of tint uh to the |
| 9180s | number just in case you're wondering why |
| 9182s | that one's sticking out there aren't a |
| 9183s | lot of frames coming through Mega Alex's |
| 9186s | camera but the ones that are are telling |
| 9188s | the story this is all we need to see |
| 9190s | right now prayer hands I say that's all |
| 9193s | we need to see we do also really |
| 9194s | discovers |
| 9197s | no I will say though I do when when we |
| 9199s | saw Mega Alex's choices of Heroes I do |
| 9202s | like the AFK because it feels like the |
| 9204s | spikiest hero they were offered |
| 9207s | okay there's not a rylack in his hand |
| 9209s | yet |
| 9221s | it's okay it's good Tempo it's no like a |
| 9224s | media win condition right now but I |
| 9226s | think it's good enough that um he can |
| 9228s | just go straight to three next turn and |
| 9231s | look for the rylac and then at that |
| 9233s | point you can really start um juicing up |
| 9235s | that cobal value |
| 9243s | speaking of quill balls being above it's |
| 9245s | starting to uh hold those blood gems |
| 9248s | it's going to take a bit of an L here |
| 9249s | but again can soak some of that damage |
| 9255s | definitely a slightly deceptive hero |
| 9259s | when they're winning or losing fights |
| 9261s | because if they're just getting more |
| 9263s | gold every single turn because of the |
| 9265s | hero power that kind of can very quickly |
| 9268s | negate the health loss right because you |
| 9270s | just Spike some extra minions or an |
| 9272s | extra Tavernier and then really |
| 9273s | accelerate the game plan so I've seen I |
| 9275s | think barrel of more than most Heroes |
| 9277s | I've seen win incredibly low life |
| 9279s | amounts oh absolutely yeah |
| 9282s | and again particularly when you do have |
| 9283s | that armor buff in this particular |
| 9285s | format like did you see like beer batter |
| 9287s | is is just straight to three at this |
| 9289s | point with uh with the excess gold as |
| 9291s | well not really caring too much about |
| 9292s | losing early fights |
| 9297s | [Music] |
| 9298s | as well |
| 9300s | um is a giga leveling they're sitting on |
| 9302s | four with currently I believe no Minions |
| 9304s | on board just using that elf yeah four |
| 9307s | on four usually demands uh token star in |
| 9310s | to then sell the final minion on turn |
| 9312s | four to go to Tavern four but uh keep an |
| 9315s | eye on the tavern six counter for the |
| 9317s | patchwork if it's gonna head in that |
| 9318s | direction |
| 9319s | Shiro now has four turns to go to uh |
| 9323s | Tavern six if so inclined or the puzzle |
| 9325s | box question |
| 9329s | foreign |
| 9339s | not the best initial shot |
| 9344s | a little bit better now do you take the |
| 9345s | Naga combo here |
| 9347s | I think you have to yeah I mean this is |
| 9348s | what you've been dealt |
| 9350s | it's a very very early deep blue you are |
| 9352s | of course Reliant now on rolling into |
| 9355s | zesties and |
| 9356s | I hate to be the bearer of bad news but |
| 9358s | I think this means that Shiro will not |
| 9359s | be pumping to six anytime soon I think |
| 9361s | they'll be rolling down looking for |
| 9363s | those uh those zesties and deep blues |
| 9365s | yeah Peter Babbitt going up to four as |
| 9367s | well though so joining uh |
| 9372s | penguin just having a nice amount of |
| 9374s | extra gold available with those lock-ins |
| 9376s | with mayev as well as a triple on the |
| 9378s | way as well is this just a level |
| 9381s | should be |
| 9384s | unless you want to get really fancy with |
| 9386s | it right now this would uh seem to be |
| 9388s | just stand a curve to continue leveling |
| 9390s | here |
| 9391s | [Music] |
| 9394s | really seems to be considering that cup |
| 9396s | though |
| 9397s | moused over it several times during this |
| 9399s | final few seconds |
| 9403s | just a level |
| 9405s | for me |
| 9413s | yeah because that's the thing as well |
| 9415s | it's not like a penguin needs a couple |
| 9417s | of points is it right to to get through |
| 9420s | so may as well go all in |
| 9431s | Iran double |
| 9436s | Eternal Knight on a runner is kind of |
| 9437s | interesting |
| 9441s | quite enough I think we're gonna take a |
| 9443s | little bit of a hit |
| 9449s | see what Jana says cooking with over |
| 9450s | here |
| 9451s | oh well I see okay oh I see |
| 9456s | it's all becoming clear |
| 9461s | not terrible definitely good tempo as |
| 9463s | well right especially you know six fours |
| 9465s | at the moment even without the triple |
| 9467s | it's just pretty solid tempo is this a |
| 9470s | five like if that's a five I almost feel |
| 9472s | like you should take it now you're at |
| 9475s | 47. |
| 9476s | so I I'd quite happily discard some of |
| 9478s | my armor to not earn one gold this turn |
| 9481s | you know |
| 9482s | and just take you every gold efficient |
| 9484s | aren't you song I'd like to handle the |
| 9486s | money |
| 9488s | because I'm like yeah it's one God what |
| 9490s | could that matter but the other way to |
| 9492s | play is just to use that armor to turn |
| 9493s | it into a six instead right like you |
| 9495s | lose this fight and then you just level |
| 9496s | again next turn |
| 9502s | too much attention to satellite on this |
| 9504s | shoulder walk |
| 9505s | I guess mainly because nothing too big |
| 9507s | to come out of this so far yeah missed |
| 9509s | on the Battle Cry on turn one we did dip |
| 9511s | in just to see |
| 9512s | um and has since found some cups but now |
| 9515s | does have the boy that is he is him sat |
| 9519s | in the shop right now we need that rylac |
| 9521s | oh I'm thinking about mini moment I |
| 9524s | thought you're talking about prickly |
| 9525s | Rick over there |
| 9528s | keep up the momentum friend |
| 9531s | whilst Mega Alex been cooking with oh |
| 9535s | okay Scala fitting |
| 9539s | scaffolding what we'll find out soon |
| 9544s | one of life's great Mysteries Raven |
| 9550s | slightly disappointing I'm going to be |
| 9552s | honest that's a pair though right it's a |
| 9554s | pair of huge buffed minions there's |
| 9556s | already a refrigerator on board |
| 9561s | I'm gonna triple together oh there's a |
| 9563s | another skeleton |
| 9575s | so we might be already too far gone now |
| 9577s | past rilak because if you ended up with |
| 9579s | rylak you'd then have to like sell out |
| 9581s | of the scour fins to be getting the |
| 9583s | parrot activations on the rylac you also |
| 9586s | have to find extra taunts and reborn and |
| 9588s | all that kind of stuff so I feel like |
| 9590s | this is just where Mega Alex is at for a |
| 9592s | while right just uh just parrot scour |
| 9594s | things off yeah that's the tricky one |
| 9596s | isn't it it's just how you convert that |
| 9598s | to the win oh ran being picked up okay |
| 9601s | all right okay satellite calm down |
| 9605s | it's all got plenty of Health as well |
| 9607s | right |
| 9608s | did pass on the old banana |
| 9611s | [Music] |
| 9615s | even the faceless doesn't look |
| 9616s | horrendous maybe not exactly this turn |
| 9618s | but |
| 9619s | it's all those cards with bran and the |
| 9621s | shutter Wok you could just get six |
| 9630s | yeah NSA did jump up to Tavern tier five |
| 9632s | yeah so it looks like he's trying to |
| 9634s | greet that Health into a six drop which |
| 9636s | yeah absolutely fine with me we would |
| 9639s | have had words if he took a five without |
| 9641s | uh and burned that one gold on the |
| 9644s | previous turn |
| 9645s | I would have been straight on the phone |
| 9647s | to Jana saying said that I've I've |
| 9648s | disappointed in you son |
| 9652s | been bigging you up all tournament can |
| 9653s | you make a play like that embarrassing |
| 9659s | a lot of these gems held as well here |
| 9661s | for penguin saying you know what this is |
| 9662s | going to be enough |
| 9668s | [Music] |
| 9669s | looks like that might be a little bit of |
| 9673s | hubris |
| 9676s | hubris indeed yes behoove |
| 9685s | are we taking nine though still decent |
| 9687s | amounts and here comes the big triple |
| 9689s | for the six and the winner is |
| 9693s | um and the loser is |
| 9698s | how how far this has fallen so remember |
| 9701s | the days officer yeah I was just |
| 9703s | thinking the same thing like you rewind |
| 9705s | you know a few months or something turn |
| 9707s | eight tripling into an officer with some |
| 9709s | blood gem generation you're just pretty |
| 9712s | great about your life like glow scale in |
| 9714s | shop as well |
| 9719s | there's a base |
| 9721s | [Music] |
| 9730s | there are some decisions to be made here |
| 9733s | aren't there what's there jumps out to |
| 9736s | you subtle I know you're a value gamer |
| 9738s | so it tells the value plan |
| 9740s | well I mean again if I'm playing a game |
| 9742s | on ladder or I don't particularly care |
| 9744s | how much I win or lose uh I'm getting |
| 9747s | this rylack involved immediately but |
| 9749s | they would involve a colossal reshuffle |
| 9751s | of what you're doing with your board at |
| 9753s | that point and I think the big reason |
| 9754s | why you can't really do that uh is |
| 9757s | because the second scale thing that you |
| 9759s | have in board actually got buffed on the |
| 9762s | previous turn right so you're living in |
| 9764s | a world where okay fine |
| 9767s | um you are potentially losing a lot of |
| 9769s | value of an 1818 minion that you've |
| 9770s | thrown away you can just do what has |
| 9773s | happened here like this is fine you just |
| 9774s | put the rylack on your board and say you |
| 9776s | know what I think it is what it is like |
| 9778s | if the parrot hits the relax so be it |
| 9780s | but it's not my number one concern right |
| 9781s | now which probably is The Best of Both |
| 9783s | Worlds at the end of it |
| 9784s | yeah I mean for Mega right just wants to |
| 9786s | just get ahead and stop punching people |
| 9788s | out of the game and in fact repositions |
| 9791s | the parrot right so he's actually |
| 9792s | sacrificing the rylack just to get a |
| 9794s | little bit of blood gem value uh using |
| 9796s | it as a taunt to protect the parrots and |
| 9799s | the skeletons like the rylac text is |
| 9802s | almost a bait at that point he is just |
| 9804s | using it to protect the Paris chain and |
| 9807s | then by putting the parrot second he |
| 9809s | guarantees that the opponent attacks |
| 9811s | into and likely kills his very very |
| 9814s | small torn and keeps the scouting chain |
| 9816s | rolling very very nice yeah satellite as |
| 9818s | well getting a good job done again not |
| 9819s | punching too hard but nine is enough to |
| 9821s | put a to put shirosa in that danger zone |
| 9824s | to join Peter Babbitt and sorrow |
| 9826s | how's it going out there oh some bananas |
| 9830s | are getting slammed |
| 9832s | and that looks like the first zesty of |
| 9833s | the game for Shiro but |
| 9836s | how far into banana gaming are we at |
| 9839s | this point okay well well well |
| 9843s | what are you doing here |
| 9846s | oh she |
| 9849s | okay |
| 9850s | it's got to be right I mean you have |
| 9853s | like it's two of the best Blanche comps |
| 9856s | in the game being played simultaneously |
| 9858s | right now |
| 9860s | feel like you're taking that card |
| 9865s | it's gonna actually wonder if it's |
| 9867s | double stack on the banana just to make |
| 9868s | it not die yeah deep blue deep blue on |
| 9870s | the banana and then golden deep blue |
| 9872s | onto the zesty and then golden deep blue |
| 9874s | onto the lava lurka yeah precisely this |
| 9877s | oh |
| 9880s | next I guess it's not worth it yeah I |
| 9882s | think next turn you're dumping the |
| 9883s | Rattler anyway right because it will |
| 9885s | have reborned everything that you have |
| 9886s | on board at that point |
| 9888s | I'm so used to like loving the idea of |
| 9890s | two because it just accelerates just |
| 9892s | reborn in your board but then you |
| 9893s | realize well it's also playing like |
| 9895s | three Naga at the same time so it's not |
| 9897s | quite the same level of power right |
| 9900s | the triple in the shop here for Mega |
| 9905s | again this not looking mind-blowing is |
| 9907s | it subtle it's not looking there game |
| 9909s | winning |
| 9911s | it's pretty good like it's a lot of |
| 9914s | stats right now it will fall off someone |
| 9917s | will find scaling better than this for |
| 9919s | sure but Mega Alex can just use how big |
| 9922s | he is right now to find that better |
| 9925s | scaling himself before anyone else does |
| 9928s | right that's the Challenge from this |
| 9929s | point |
| 9931s | could have something to say about this |
| 9933s | though Leroy huge I think no Leroy but |
| 9936s | tunnel Blaster the tunnel Blaster takes |
| 9938s | out the Leroy before he actually gets to |
| 9939s | attack anything oh that's so |
| 9942s | disappointing for this look at the |
| 9944s | damage with the drakari on one Health |
| 9946s | pushing an extra five is is what you |
| 9948s | want if you're uh if you're a mega Alex |
| 9950s | right now you want to push people out of |
| 9952s | this game |
| 9956s | too late for bream correct |
| 9962s | uh we have the base skill anyway right |
| 9964s | and you essentially you want to |
| 9967s | you want to have an opinion to hold in |
| 9970s | your hand right because you're now |
| 9971s | putting this base skill onto the board |
| 9972s | at some point so if you're going to have |
| 9974s | a minion to hold in your hand anyway it |
| 9976s | might as well be bream at this point |
| 9984s | okay The Blanche are getting quite big |
| 9986s | here we see some Tempo pigs coming out |
| 9988s | here for two |
| 9992s | Drop The Bongo |
| 9995s | start just dropping stats on that board |
| 9997s | as well penguin's gonna have a a turn |
| 9999s | off to a certain extent without tesora |
| 10002s | going out |
| 10003s | which I didn't think we mentioned did we |
| 10006s | uh no |
| 10007s | to Sarah taking a loss though not |
| 10009s | looking great but to Sir so far did have |
| 10011s | the uh like a two green kind of uh |
| 10014s | uh build with some pigs it clearly was |
| 10017s | not enough |
| 10021s | stealing the uh Legend value onto the |
| 10025s | mama bear just for some added protection |
| 10026s | I like it a nice little synergies uh |
| 10029s | with this new car Bongo bopper I believe |
| 10031s | it's called something like that |
| 10032s | something equally Whimsical as that |
| 10035s | um it just naturally plays a bunch of |
| 10037s | blood gems on itself so you can then use |
| 10039s | that as a stat stick that you transfer |
| 10041s | to something else later in the game with |
| 10043s | necrolo |
| 10058s | again this is one of those things where |
| 10060s | he although he's on 10 Health definitely |
| 10062s | got the ability to secure because I |
| 10063s | think he's he's a barrel of hero power |
| 10065s | here was against uh was the ghost fight |
| 10068s | so again not too difficult I guess |
| 10073s | and I though I mean this bream is |
| 10075s | getting a lot of Buffs before it hits |
| 10077s | the board from the base skill but I |
| 10079s | don't think yeah especially with the 53 |
| 10081s | still alive okay no the 53 gets taken |
| 10083s | out by the bay skill oh it's the Blanche |
| 10086s | actually my bad okay |
| 10088s | I got some potential oh yeah the last |
| 10091s | attack that was rough actually yeah I |
| 10093s | thought that had already attacked but |
| 10094s | that is going to be a million damage |
| 10096s | going 20. and then slapped there maybe |
| 10099s | it's going down to eight definitely |
| 10103s | now throwing up the signal in the all |
| 10106s | chat saying come on I'm doing my job |
| 10109s | 20. what the rest of you doing come on |
| 10112s | yeah just finish him like pops up across |
| 10115s | the chat yeah and I suppose this makes |
| 10117s | sense right I hadn't readjusted because |
| 10118s | we were talking about the bream before |
| 10119s | and saying well if you're gonna buff a |
| 10121s | minion it might as well be the bream |
| 10122s | yeah that's true until you triple into a |
| 10125s | Blanche that you can hold in your hand |
| 10126s | instead and then at that point yeah yeah |
| 10128s | it's way better off being The Blanche |
| 10131s | and that's what's a little bit scary |
| 10132s | right now actually as well isn't it |
| 10134s | because yes Mega Alex just took 20 big |
| 10137s | hit no one's even arguing but |
| 10140s | if he could just survive another couple |
| 10141s | of turns that stacking is really going |
| 10143s | to kick off just because of the power of |
| 10145s | blanchee |
| 10151s | what is this a beast Naga combo it's |
| 10154s | funny isn't it |
| 10159s | second banana being slammed though |
| 10162s | no base skill that's the missing uh the |
| 10164s | missing ingredient right now we're |
| 10166s | playing Naga beasts we want to be |
| 10167s | playing Naga murloc beasts that's that's |
| 10169s | the missing little sprinkle of spice |
| 10171s | that we need |
| 10172s | it's also tricky as well when to get out |
| 10175s | of this 4-4 I've definitely uh struggled |
| 10177s | with that in the past |
| 10180s | okay shirosa versus mega Alex for |
| 10182s | barov's blessing |
| 10188s | gonna be a tricky one actually I'm |
| 10190s | starting to have faith in this blanchee |
| 10192s | I mean there's blanches on both sides of |
| 10193s | course but the one there from Mega rally |
| 10195s | yes there's a little bit of a RNG Fiesta |
| 10198s | because we don't know what the parrots |
| 10202s | are gonna activate on their attacks |
| 10206s | which makes life a little bit awkward we |
| 10208s | also don't know the exact stats on the |
| 10210s | blanchee |
| 10212s | could be tough although this Leroy is |
| 10214s | very likely to just go into this taunt |
| 10216s | which is a bit of a victory as well for |
| 10218s | Megan yeah I think you can win if yeah |
| 10220s | the Leroy did stay at First Position |
| 10222s | okay |
| 10223s | here we go |
| 10227s | oh we differed for the first time today |
| 10229s | yeah |
| 10230s | oh the buff of course the flip |
| 10237s | again |
| 10243s | okay how big is it 63-63 no way that's |
| 10246s | cooked absolutely cooked Raven see Saul |
| 10250s | complains and then suddenly when things |
| 10252s | are going his way it's like oh yeah |
| 10254s | complaining to win anyway is the classic |
| 10256s | soul Stroud I don't know what you're |
| 10258s | talking about |
| 10260s | and that means that spells disaster Alex |
| 10263s | will not be winning the tournament in |
| 10265s | this game great job specifically to beat |
| 10268s | about it and Shiro with the one-two |
| 10271s | punch like I said Alex had something |
| 10274s | going but it needed to transition into |
| 10276s | something else if it was gonna win the |
| 10278s | lobby and he just never really managed |
| 10281s | to find that point yeah it never looked |
| 10283s | like it was going to convert to |
| 10285s | something game-winning unless something |
| 10286s | truly miraculous happened we also lost |
| 10288s | Janice from this game as well taken hit |
| 10291s | joining Mega Alex in that uh that same |
| 10293s | turn kill there |
| 10295s | but right now |
| 10297s | are you interested how this one goes out |
| 10299s | because a lot of Reborns down but |
| 10300s | there's no banana Slammers here for |
| 10302s | Penguins I'm just missing that final |
| 10304s | ingredient but also satellite still |
| 10306s | looking comfortable I'm 31. still has a |
| 10310s | he's starting to build a huge brand |
| 10311s | board with the uh the magma lock and |
| 10314s | there you go |
| 10317s | no damn |
| 10318s | it's been going on here this feels like |
| 10320s | full Tempo King right here from |
| 10322s | satellite |
| 10330s | it's hard okay no Elementals in this |
| 10333s | Lobby right now no Elementals so can't |
| 10335s | find the elemental of surprise to get |
| 10337s | the Divine Shield magma lock which is |
| 10339s | always the go-to in this scenario |
| 10341s | but still tough choice from here because |
| 10343s | you have a kind of permanent Young |
| 10345s | merkai on your board right now |
| 10347s | so |
| 10350s | do we stay |
| 10352s | at this position now so that you can get |
| 10354s | the murloc value from the murkai off the |
| 10356s | Primal fin activation and then go again |
| 10358s | next turn you're missing out on a ton of |
| 10360s | magma lock value at that point I might I |
| 10362s | would imagine we joined the uh the turn |
| 10364s | in progress I don't know exactly how |
| 10366s | many minions were played |
| 10368s | tricky isn't it because on one hand |
| 10369s | satellites got the health to wiggle |
| 10371s | around with and take a hit if needed |
| 10373s | yeah but you do have to decide whether |
| 10375s | that is actually going to convert to a |
| 10377s | win or more right |
| 10385s | it's all six drops it's all six drops as |
| 10389s | well and this one turn on the right |
| 10391s | kills his whole board |
| 10395s | oh no |
| 10397s | is he just getting punished for the |
| 10399s | greed there is the Elise which is five |
| 10401s | right |
| 10404s | [Music] |
| 10407s | so much that look at this |
| 10410s | 6 12 16 21 27 31 36 absolutely |
| 10418s | one shot out of nowhere |
| 10421s | take beat above it lightly at your peril |
| 10424s | dying with a hand that had what six |
| 10427s | cards in it a whole second magma one was |
| 10429s | a magma yeah |
| 10432s | that's a subtle play right there that's |
| 10435s | what that is play as greedy as possible |
| 10437s | and get mega punished for it and it |
| 10439s | looks like penguins going out and yet |
| 10441s | again subtle just quietly tomb oh look |
| 10445s | another top three thank you good point |
| 10448s | we've even seen what Tim's been doing |
| 10450s | this entire game okay so much earlier on |
| 10453s | yeah all right fine playing some stats |
| 10455s | yeah just get in there right and again |
| 10457s | until you're |
| 10458s | captain and got the lobby and check |
| 10460s | yourself you don't strictly need to win |
| 10463s | games although it helps it's not you |
| 10465s | know strictly true right so tomb just |
| 10466s | once again locking in some points |
| 10472s | going in on this Blanche as well looking |
| 10474s | good |
| 10475s | Shore would uh quite like to get a taunt |
| 10477s | on this Blanche at some point yeah |
| 10479s | getting the pumping from the uh the |
| 10481s | walking Court |
| 10485s | uh so does this board die entirely to |
| 10489s | one taunt minion on the right it looks |
| 10490s | like it has a pretty decent chance |
| 10493s | I'm so glad we've seen pigs dominate |
| 10502s | so what do you want to talk about for 80 |
| 10503s | Seconds right |
| 10505s | yeah how uh the turn timers are too long |
| 10507s | sometimes in this game okay yeah sure |
| 10511s | Boogie fell stumper it's good against |
| 10514s | Ghost so shirosa has some sort of wiggle |
| 10517s | room turn here although again the ghost |
| 10518s | only died last turn potentially right so |
| 10520s | like they're not exactly weak let's say |
| 10524s | yes and they died by taking 36 yeah |
| 10529s | they died to one Pig and his friends |
| 10533s | they died doing what they loved being |
| 10535s | incredibly greedy |
| 10542s | it's really interesting that the uh the |
| 10545s | four fours is still around obviously |
| 10547s | it's still doing a lot of work and a lot |
| 10548s | of stats yeah but it's also a 4-4 you |
| 10551s | know what I mean and there's a there's |
| 10552s | the banana on there's a two five yes it |
| 10554s | doubles a little bit but not a lot so |
| 10556s | escherosa I I think |
| 10559s | in hindsight at this point probably |
| 10561s | going to be pretty happy with the |
| 10562s | outcome of it at worst at top three yeah |
| 10565s | the deep blue comp is weird right |
| 10567s | because you do have to have these couple |
| 10569s | of innocuous Minions on your board as |
| 10571s | your engine and it's not like you know |
| 10573s | if you're playing whatever bran dragons |
| 10576s | or brand Menagerie or brand murlocs or |
| 10578s | whatever and you have to sell your brand |
| 10580s | because you're scared of dying you still |
| 10582s | have a cop right it's still there it's |
| 10585s | just less powerful battle Christ still |
| 10587s | exists yeah exactly yeah |
| 10589s | sell Deep Blue you are done like your |
| 10592s | comp just does not work anymore if you |
| 10594s | don't have that spell craft going into |
| 10596s | your hand at the start of every turn so |
| 10597s | yeah |
| 10598s | I really do have to greet it for a very |
| 10600s | very long time all right let's play the |
| 10602s | game of how many minions can uh lose in |
| 10606s | this fight |
| 10607s | that's a couple |
| 10609s | okay there's a nice 70 damage that's the |
| 10611s | first relevant thing that's happened in |
| 10613s | this entire fight because as each of |
| 10614s | these minion dies watch the uh watch The |
| 10617s | Duo Pig just get bigger and bigger and |
| 10619s | bigger every time something dies |
| 10623s | yeah the pig six drop is such a |
| 10626s | deceptive minion because it you actually |
| 10628s | start to get more terrified as the Fight |
| 10630s | Continues and that is going to be tomb |
| 10633s | uh pushed out of this game number four |
| 10635s | here but again in a solid position third |
| 10638s | place gonna Bank a ton of points there |
| 10643s | now yeah this is the problem right |
| 10648s | none of these minions even particularly |
| 10651s | contest the taunt |
| 10653s | ah |
| 10656s | if you just like if if Shiro gets the |
| 10658s | read right and gets the positioning |
| 10660s | right and just goes lava lurker first |
| 10664s | it really is just that one minion on the |
| 10666s | right that's presenting a huge problem |
| 10668s | right like once you get rid of that and |
| 10670s | then the avenge procs from the the six |
| 10672s | drops are just continuously pumping |
| 10674s | Health back into it every time something |
| 10676s | dies I don't think he's as far behind as |
| 10679s | it might seem but we might now switch to |
| 10682s | barov's POV and I've misremembered the |
| 10684s | size of all of the other minions and |
| 10686s | look incredibly stupid no I kind of |
| 10689s | standby not too much yeah |
| 10691s | yeah and I think especially the Belcher |
| 10693s | pickup is huge right yeah yeah because |
| 10696s | that Belcher you know whether it hits |
| 10698s | one way or the other it's gonna decide a |
| 10699s | lot looks like necrolite gonna be coming |
| 10701s | out here from beer Babbitt |
| 10703s | Trying To Shimmy some of these stats |
| 10708s | pulling stats off the torn here making a |
| 10712s | second huge Minion Okay pretty |
| 10714s | interesting I guess less susceptible to |
| 10716s | Leroy in such right yeah exactly putting |
| 10718s | stores pulling stats away from a taunt |
| 10721s | and onto a non-taunted minion that plays |
| 10723s | exactly as Raven was saying around uh |
| 10725s | venomous and Leroy effects it meant to |
| 10727s | the nice cup it looks like they're gonna |
| 10729s | create a little bit more and get the zap |
| 10730s | down instead |
| 10737s | you love to see it oh I think there's a |
| 10740s | selfless as well on the board that that |
| 10742s | zap's gonna hit look at this |
| 10747s | all the beasts have gone okay fine |
| 10752s | it's just a rubbish that hopes to die |
| 10754s | it's like an extra venomous right from |
| 10756s | the belters the hope of the murloc and |
| 10758s | then the selfless just doubling |
| 10759s | effectively doubling the stats right |
| 10762s | I'm really vibing with this like |
| 10764s | emotional support snack right now I'm |
| 10767s | just gonna sit here and eat whatever |
| 10768s | this is some sort of pastry thing |
| 10771s | um |
| 10775s | I mean at what point does anyone not |
| 10777s | want to eat pastries pastries are |
| 10779s | delivered when you've had like 10 in a |
| 10780s | row |
| 10781s | debatable |
| 10783s | but what pastry what's your pastry of |
| 10785s | choice |
| 10787s | I mean |
| 10791s | if I don't say croissant you're going to |
| 10793s | be mad at me because that's your answer |
| 10794s | right |
| 10795s | wait how do you know what mine is I'm |
| 10797s | scared because I've like lived in hotels |
| 10800s | with you for months you every morning |
| 10803s | when you have a croissant but it's not |
| 10805s | that difficult it's the basicness of the |
| 10807s | thing I like a lot it's classic and you |
| 10810s | don't put anything on it |
| 10812s | status well |
| 10815s | this fight's about to kick off here the |
| 10816s | venomous it get some of the work done |
| 10818s | but now the zap's gonna soak the second |
| 10820s | one which is a very big deal catching a |
| 10822s | lot of this uh hell |
| 10824s | this 200 200 is Big yeah it's real big |
| 10827s | in comparison to a lot of this stuff |
| 10830s | that's not the trade none of those were |
| 10833s | the trades absolutely none of those were |
| 10836s | the trades and it still finds a tie okay |
| 10838s | so let's go again Loki Shiro is actually |
| 10842s | bigger here |
| 10846s | the big difference here though is yes |
| 10849s | Cheryl can definitely you know revamp |
| 10852s | their board in whatever way but now be |
| 10854s | above it's seeing this funky board right |
| 10857s | so the not that knowledge is worth |
| 10860s | everything right now but |
| 10862s | the scaling I mean don't get me wrong |
| 10865s | beer babit has got incredible scaling |
| 10867s | over there with buffed blood gems uh |
| 10869s | chalga and the the end of turn effect |
| 10870s | right that's a lot of scaling but Shiro |
| 10874s | is dumping infinite stats onto this lava |
| 10876s | lurk every single turn if this lava |
| 10878s | lurker continues to Dodge Venom and |
| 10879s | Leroy effects it will continue to be the |
| 10882s | single biggest minion in this fight by |
| 10884s | some distance so this is actually a |
| 10887s | really really interesting late game |
| 10889s | tussle |
| 10891s | nice |
| 10894s | extra zesty value not sure if it gets |
| 10897s | bought but you can at least uh use it in |
| 10898s | the shop at the very least |
| 10900s | yep just give you a little bit of an |
| 10902s | update outside of this as well it just |
| 10904s | got a golden monkey |
| 10906s | to go digging wait what |
| 10909s | of course yeah there's an Elites |
| 10912s | I'm not lying it'll be a really weird |
| 10914s | time to just lie about what's happening |
| 10917s | I'm just making up what one of the |
| 10919s | players is doing yeah it's got eight |
| 10921s | taunts |
| 10924s | just us |
| 10925s | it's just full transition to Banana slab |
| 10928s | as well yeah would you believe it |
| 10931s | yeah extra small taunts on here as well |
| 10934s | to help out this tunnel Blaster are |
| 10935s | gonna potentially kill off the small |
| 10938s | murloc the selfless whatever and uh this |
| 10941s | child go just to try and soak some of |
| 10942s | these uh venomous hits too so beat about |
| 10944s | it doing them you know the sort of paint |
| 10946s | by numbers guide on how to deal with |
| 10948s | this kind of opening yeah and this is |
| 10950s | exactly what you were saying beta has |
| 10952s | now seen it he can react to it so you |
| 10955s | can see the tunnel Blaster completely |
| 10957s | Snipes the whole venomous package off of |
| 10959s | the board zero impact whatsoever |
| 10962s | um Shiro has tough decisions now to make |
| 10964s | as to exactly where this stuff gets put |
| 10967s | because he can't actually really play |
| 10969s | around tunnel Blaster unless he wants to |
| 10971s | skip a lava lurka buff he actually can't |
| 10974s | play around tunnel Blaster fully with |
| 10977s | only two more deep blues left to play |
| 10978s | this turn |
| 10979s | and that's the tough one right because |
| 10982s | the |
| 10983s | the fight was so close last time that |
| 10985s | although a bit about it lost some |
| 10987s | minions to them play the tunnel Blaster |
| 10989s | just removing two venomous from the game |
| 10992s | it's like a very big deal considering |
| 10995s | that the fight came down to just the two |
| 10996s | last minions head putting each other |
| 10998s | yeah this is smart sure knows what's up |
| 11000s | like Shiro knows what beta is going to |
| 11002s | have done on this term which is fine day |
| 11004s | tunnel Blaster so I do think this is the |
| 11007s | best you can really get in this scenario |
| 11009s | which is protect at least the murloc so |
| 11013s | that the venomous can go onto it at this |
| 11015s | point |
| 11016s | foreign |
| 11018s | there it is okay where does this Divine |
| 11021s | Shield go |
| 11023s | middling outcome immediate huge trade |
| 11027s | though on the biggest minion |
| 11029s | from the giant lava lurk oh okay |
| 11033s | that's rid of the venomous yeah removing |
| 11035s | the venomous is a big deal for better |
| 11037s | and the entire territory again no oh |
| 11042s | still gonna be alive that's not enough |
| 11044s | damage |
| 11047s | had the chance for a tie there if the |
| 11049s | attack had gone right instead of left |
| 11051s | but uh he's got the better of the trades |
| 11052s | at the end which means Shiro takes a |
| 11054s | small amount of damage |
| 11057s | that's more venomous okay |
| 11060s | this is the turn to get out of the 4-4 |
| 11062s | right surely |
| 11064s | yo I mean |
| 11065s | if you think you're all in you're all in |
| 11067s | right and you I mean that bone mare now |
| 11069s | helps a lot as well because you can now |
| 11071s | use that to protect another Minion from |
| 11073s | the tunnel Blaster and I think if you |
| 11075s | get out of the forefort there's like |
| 11076s | only decent hits for this Divine Shield |
| 11080s | right and and even more so if you get |
| 11081s | the tide Walker down yes you need to |
| 11084s | make sure that you have enough minions |
| 11086s | to replace everything though right like |
| 11087s | are you so you adjust you get out of the |
| 11090s | 4-4 the you'd use one of your eventual |
| 11093s | deep blues on the Rock pull on the 2-3 |
| 11096s | so that that is protected from the |
| 11097s | tunnel Blaster you would bone mare the |
| 11100s | Belcher so that that can't get tunnel |
| 11102s | blasted either and if your opponent |
| 11103s | chooses to put something big up front |
| 11104s | that goes into the venomous and then you |
| 11107s | have the tide Walker to replace the |
| 11109s | space that's left from the deep blue |
| 11111s | that all checks out so yeah I think if |
| 11114s | you want to go all in this turn you can |
| 11116s | but don't get me wrong you are all in if |
| 11120s | you do that you have no future if you do |
| 11123s | not kill your opponent this time if you |
| 11125s | sell your Deep Blue |
| 11126s | yeah I like it though because I think |
| 11128s | are you really gonna play as if as if |
| 11130s | you're going to draw the fight you know |
| 11132s | what I mean is that really what you want |
| 11135s | to do at that point |
| 11139s | like that one either here's a go I mean |
| 11141s | the thing is it doesn't have to be a |
| 11142s | draw though right your opponent's at 10. |
| 11145s | and you have like your zesties one drops |
| 11148s | your zesties are both three drops your |
| 11150s | lava lurker is a two drop |
| 11153s | there's a very good chance you could win |
| 11154s | the fight and not kill your opponent |
| 11156s | here |
| 11158s | you could just win choice |
| 11163s | oh bone mare on the lava lurk actually |
| 11167s | interesting all the goggles so sick okay |
| 11171s | that's huge because if both of the |
| 11174s | murlocs have Blaster range now of course |
| 11180s | huh |
| 11182s | the trots don't want to use that stealth |
| 11184s | [Music] |
| 11190s | I mean it would float a gold obviously |
| 11192s | you know of course I you know completely |
| 11193s | understand but again will it matter |
| 11198s | because he could have just played the |
| 11199s | stealth just to get the buff for this |
| 11201s | turn yeah true |
| 11203s | venomous the small individuals zesty |
| 11206s | right this was never going to be the |
| 11207s | all-in play we were talking about |
| 11208s | because the uh the three fours SD had |
| 11210s | already been sold |
| 11213s | oh it's tight it is very very tight glad |
| 11217s | we're not playing the barrels blessing |
| 11219s | here because I just would not know who |
| 11220s | to be yeah |
| 11226s | oh blast is gone |
| 11228s | last is gone great play actually from |
| 11231s | better baby just going okay my opponent |
| 11233s | saw the Blaster |
| 11234s | thank you my opponent's gonna spend this |
| 11236s | entire turn playing around Blaster and |
| 11239s | in response to that I'll just play one |
| 11241s | more giant minion on my board instead |
| 11244s | that's game that is yikes yeah that is |
| 11249s | 100 game |
| 11252s | oh that was so brutal because I like the |
| 11254s | idea the Divine Shield bristleback |
| 11256s | obviously with whim Fury to try and |
| 11258s | snipe some of the you know eat some of |
| 11259s | those venomous attacks and stuff like |
| 11261s | the idea was there I agree with you I |
| 11263s | like the jump out of the uh the tunnel |
| 11265s | Blaster because again these players |
| 11267s | aren't people who've just grabbed off |
| 11268s | the street right these are some of the |
| 11270s | best so they know that if there's a if |
| 11272s | you've seen Turtle Blaster your opponent |
| 11274s | will then react to Tunnel Blaster so |
| 11276s | then you dive out of it like you were |
| 11277s | you know breaking down for us so I think |
| 11279s | the play was great it just didn't work |
| 11280s | out and that's how these like we know |
| 11282s | one one uh 1v1s end up right you need |
| 11285s | certain things to go your way yeah |
| 11287s | absolutely um of course headlines going |
| 11289s | into that Mega Alex needed the win to |
| 11291s | take home the tournament did not happen |
| 11293s | uh Penguins aren't could have taken home |
| 11295s | the win in that particular game and |
| 11297s | would have put the lobby into check |
| 11298s | being the second player to do so that |
| 11300s | didn't happen either so now you start to |
| 11303s | see the nuts and bolts of check format |
| 11305s | really come into play 30 minutes ago 35 |
| 11308s | minutes ago we were talking about oh |
| 11309s | short day tournament's over Mega Alex is |
| 11311s | definitely just gonna stomp now you know |
| 11313s | we'll we'll be going to a short break in |
| 11315s | a second and we'll be taking a look at |
| 11316s | the standings after that but you will |
| 11317s | see a much muddier picture in terms of |
| 11320s | who could potentially win this |
| 11322s | tournament when we get back uh yeah lots |
| 11324s | lots to play for still Raven yeah as we |
| 11327s | said this was just game four there could |
| 11329s | be plenty more after this one as players |
| 11331s | do catch up and get the lobby in check |
| 11332s | we are gonna go to a break just to give |
| 11334s | the players a few minutes before they |
| 11336s | dive into game five of what could go on |
| 11338s | for a much longer day so don't go |
| 11339s | anywhere we'll be back with some more |

| 11646s | welcome back everyone to Lobby Legends |
| 11649s | we've got another game coming up right |
| 11651s | uh coming up for you soon there we go |
| 11653s | I'll spit words out as in some way but |
| 11656s | before we do that we are going to take a |
| 11657s | bit of a recap of what just happened in |
| 11659s | game number four because the fact that |
| 11660s | we've even returned means that Mega Alex |
| 11663s | did not win game four and therefore did |
| 11665s | not win the whole tournament so what |
| 11667s | happens all |
| 11668s | I mean so many things that game both was |
| 11673s | uh extremely long and also very very |
| 11675s | eventful |
| 11676s | um we saw uh this build of initially |
| 11680s | this was just straight deep blue Naga |
| 11682s | then it looked like there was a initial |
| 11685s | pivot into banana Slammer beasts and |
| 11687s | then Shiro just ended up failing all the |
| 11689s | way out of that straight back into deep |
| 11691s | blue Naga again and hard committing to |
| 11693s | that and then it was one of the probably |
| 11695s | the most interesting heads up fight that |
| 11698s | we've seen in the tournament so far uh |
| 11700s | between Shiro and better Babbitt and the |
| 11703s | the top two both fighting back and forth |
| 11706s | with tech cards and that initial |
| 11708s | discovery of who was actually the bigger |
| 11709s | of the two players having not fought |
| 11711s | each other for a while uh really really |
| 11713s | engaging stuff towards the end but you |
| 11716s | can see now what that means for the lay |
| 11718s | of the land in the tournament in general |
| 11720s | Raven yeah so now at Mega Alex of course |
| 11723s | still got the lobbying check that |
| 11725s | doesn't change the points I don't really |
| 11726s | matter for him specifically but then |
| 11728s | penguin and Babbitt just need a few |
| 11731s | points three specifically to be able to |
| 11733s | get uh in check themselves so then they |
| 11736s | can start contending Mega Alex for that |
| 11738s | game win and therefore tournament win uh |
| 11740s | tomb close there needing four so still |
| 11742s | very doable and uh everyone else below |
| 11745s | that will need another game on top of |
| 11748s | this next one coming up so they'll need |
| 11750s | game five and six to be able to try and |
| 11753s | catch up but I will say it was a huge |
| 11755s | Victory there for shirosa because before |
| 11757s | that win they run three points which is |
| 11760s | miles away from anything at that point |
| 11763s | so that win again does still mean trust |
| 11765s | has got two more games they have to get |
| 11767s | points in to be able to get into check |
| 11768s | but it's now doable right that's the |
| 11772s | difference like a big win like that |
| 11773s | makes goes from being oh I've got no |
| 11775s | chance to hang on a minute this actually |
| 11778s | is possible but we are definitely |
| 11780s | narrowing on that top sort of four-ish |
| 11783s | um so far based on points to be able to |
| 11785s | contest that win |
| 11787s | yeah and I think keep a special eye on |
| 11790s | Tomb in this one because if there's one |
| 11793s | thing that tomb has shown quite Adept at |
| 11795s | it's picking up four or so points in |
| 11798s | every game and if he does that in this |
| 11799s | game he's gonna be putting the lobby in |
| 11801s | check Along with whoever else gets there |
| 11803s | over the line and then we will have to |
| 11805s | start to see whether that changing gear |
| 11807s | can come out |
| 11808s | um as mentioned he did win game two of |
| 11810s | day one in his group uh with a shadow |
| 11813s | walk Spike into uh Mama Bear beasts uh |
| 11816s | stuff going on way quicker than anyone |
| 11818s | else could really get a build together |
| 11819s | and just slowly kill people one by one |
| 11821s | as he fought them |
| 11823s | um but clearly he has been one of the |
| 11825s | standouts of this tournament without us |
| 11827s | ever really overly focusing on him both |
| 11830s | perspective wise or really talking about |
| 11831s | him that much because he's just quietly |
| 11833s | getting on with his job getting top four |
| 11836s | in the majority of games and slowly |
| 11837s | accumulating points and if he continues |
| 11839s | to do that for one more game he'll be |
| 11842s | one of maybe two or three players going |
| 11844s | into our next game after this one with |
| 11847s | the lobby check but bear in mind of |
| 11849s | course that could all be nonsense a mega |
| 11851s | Alex could just end the tournament right |
| 11853s | now if he wants to this is shot number |
| 11855s | two yeah and that's the thing important |
| 11857s | to highlight as well because of course |
| 11858s | Meg Alex has had a fantastic tournament |
| 11860s | so far right and that is just never |
| 11862s | gonna change whether he wins or not but |
| 11865s | you don't need to win any games until |
| 11868s | you have 20 points which is just you're |
| 11870s | going back to what you're saying about |
| 11871s | tomb right if you can just keep stay in |
| 11873s | the game and just work towards those |
| 11875s | points sort the win out later right |
| 11877s | getting there is the problem right get |
| 11879s | into that 20 point is priority number |
| 11881s | one for these players so of course Mega |
| 11883s | Alex still has the advantage because |
| 11885s | they alone are sat in that position to |
| 11888s | actually just end the tournament by |
| 11889s | winning this game coming up but there's |
| 11891s | a lot of people hot on his heels now and |
| 11893s | I think the fact that you know you |
| 11896s | couldn't just seal the deal there I'm |
| 11898s | sure some doubt must be creeping in |
| 11900s | right because you think you had such a |
| 11901s | good like did you I know it's stupid to |
| 11903s | say but some people like me would sit |
| 11905s | there going did I just use up all my |
| 11907s | luck helping me out getting those three |
| 11909s | wins in a row and now I'm just never |
| 11911s | gonna win a game for the rest of the day |
| 11912s | because that's what you'd start to feel |
| 11914s | like when other people start to catch up |
| 11916s | and that leads you gained in such an |
| 11918s | impressive way looks like it's slipping |
| 11920s | away yeah I mean it is idiot thinking |
| 11922s | for dumb dumb people but we're all |
| 11924s | susceptible to it right like we |
| 11926s | absolutely are we were doing it like |
| 11928s | it's that idea of you know the thing |
| 11930s | that came before has any impact on the |
| 11931s | thing that's still to come it's just |
| 11933s | really not true in general but we were |
| 11935s | already doing the exact opposite of that |
| 11937s | 35 40 minutes ago when we're like well |
| 11939s | Mega Alex has won every game he's |
| 11941s | clearly just gonna win again yeah those |
| 11943s | things are unconnected it doesn't matter |
| 11945s | but the human brain is just trained to |
| 11947s | find patterns and think that one thing |
| 11949s | depends on the other in the way that it |
| 11951s | just generally doesn't |
| 11953s | um and it's the idea of just resetting |
| 11955s | your brain into the game State and just |
| 11957s | playing the game State any each |
| 11959s | individual game of Battlegrounds which |
| 11960s | makes this format as difficult as it is |
| 11963s | so things to note here is we take a look |
| 11965s | at these hero picks at no mechs in this |
| 11968s | one subtle and I feel like Mex has |
| 11970s | definitely seemed the most impactful so |
| 11973s | far obviously down to Mega Alex winning |
| 11975s | a lot of lobbies with them but also just |
| 11977s | the fact that they they at least to me |
| 11979s | feel like easily one of the strongest |
| 11982s | minion types in actually ending and |
| 11984s | winning games |
| 11985s | yeah I think it's a lot to hit |
| 11988s | um very quickly I think a lot of people |
| 11990s | kind of feel like oh I hit one scrap |
| 11991s | scraper cool I'm gonna have a good game |
| 11993s | and that's just not really the reality |
| 11995s | you need to already have a very good |
| 11997s | avenge set up for that initial scrap |
| 11999s | scraper or that first scrap scraper is |
| 12001s | very very slow in general |
| 12012s | good job chair yeah you did it |
| 12017s | okay two five from the uh eater not too |
| 12019s | bad as well start wise at least for |
| 12020s | these early turns |
| 12024s | kind of already signals a commitment not |
| 12027s | to go into wrathweaver which does make |
| 12028s | sense when you're Rat King right you're |
| 12030s | a very low Health hero to begin with at |
| 12032s | this point right makes sense not to lean |
| 12034s | that hard into wrath Weaver this early |
| 12038s | and also as well another thing to keep |
| 12039s | an eye on this tomb has gone brand right |
| 12041s | which again is is I would say one of the |
| 12044s | stronger Heroes just at a glance of |
| 12046s | everyone that's picked so far because |
| 12048s | none of the others overly stick out to |
| 12050s | me is like oh wow okay they're favored |
| 12053s | yeah 30 uh 45 Health bran with beasts in |
| 12058s | right so relax possibilities with your |
| 12060s | brand very very early in the game uh |
| 12062s | kind of a unique proposition available |
| 12064s | to Brand Heroes when beats are in you |
| 12066s | can just go to Tavern 3 and if you roll |
| 12068s | into rylack you've probably already got |
| 12070s | a brand in some situations in those uh |
| 12073s | in those spots which no other hero in |
| 12075s | the game is likely to have happen right |
| 12077s | um so you can immediately start Mega |
| 12080s | juicing like filamental builds or shell |
| 12082s | collector builds or whatever ends up |
| 12084s | being in there and really start doing |
| 12085s | disgusting things early I would imagine |
| 12088s | with two mon one there was Battle cries |
| 12090s | being offered and that's why tomb has |
| 12092s | decided to stay low and that's the thing |
| 12094s | that we can take a look at any time soon |
| 12095s | it shows about to get your bandwagon |
| 12097s | picks in in for this one I've already |
| 12100s | unlocked |
| 12101s | at least by now |
| 12104s | so what are we cooking with here yeah |
| 12105s | double bowel cry term one and two very |
| 12108s | nice |
| 12109s | third Battle Cry On Turn three looking |
| 12111s | good |
| 12113s | fourth Battle Cry On Turn yeah there's |
| 12115s | the freeze yeah okay |
| 12117s | not too bad at all obviously helping the |
| 12120s | fact that these are going pairs as well |
| 12122s | all right hear me out |
| 12124s | is this a freeze |
| 12127s | this is not not okay yeah can we can we |
| 12131s | just go back to Tim real quick yeah I do |
| 12133s | want to talk about this you have six |
| 12134s | gold next turn |
| 12136s | hmm |
| 12137s | you don't want to buy like sometimes in |
| 12140s | these situations you'll buy the Battle |
| 12141s | Cry you'll roll and then you'll just |
| 12143s | sell something and buy another Battle |
| 12144s | Cry If you see it right but you don't |
| 12145s | want to do that here because you'll be |
| 12147s | in a double pair situation so you don't |
| 12149s | want to break up either other of those |
| 12150s | pairs however saying you don't freeze |
| 12153s | this is then essentially saying I'm |
| 12155s | gonna hit the nuts on the natural shop |
| 12157s | roll next turn and just hit double |
| 12159s | Battle Cry and but I think it's closer |
| 12161s | than it looks genuinely yeah because |
| 12164s | personally I would just go yep that's a |
| 12166s | Battle Cry by and then worst case just |
| 12167s | level you just level right and just sort |
| 12169s | of whip that level into your plan maybe |
| 12172s | that's wrong but um but I think the |
| 12174s | pairs are potentially a huge payoff |
| 12176s | because not only are you progressing |
| 12177s | towards the hero power of course but you |
| 12180s | you potentially tripling very quickly as |
| 12182s | well |
| 12185s | I mean you do it right now you you have |
| 12187s | to break up the pairs now but you see |
| 12189s | the Battleground yeah absolutely this |
| 12190s | yeah this is fine but the option was |
| 12193s | there which I like a lot with the freeze |
| 12194s | right like they actually gave them the |
| 12196s | most options here and we are going to |
| 12197s | see it to sorrow now |
| 12200s | invest some health already rocking up |
| 12202s | that Tavernier three pretty quick |
| 12205s | that is a huge three drop shot by the |
| 12208s | way that is enormous take the damage |
| 12211s | from the fell Hound buff it and then |
| 12213s | roll the keyboardist into a four drop |
| 12217s | oh |
| 12223s | tesura's banana has been slammed this |
| 12225s | game |
| 12227s | [Music] |
| 12228s | [Laughter] |
| 12232s | wagon I had uh hitched myself to a |
| 12234s | little bit earlier yeah your feet must |
| 12236s | be slightly ahead of my insulting that |
| 12238s | banana Slammer and then picking him ah |
| 12240s | okay okay fair enough |
| 12242s | yeah I think I have to make that change |
| 12243s | right surely uh this is a murloc lobby |
| 12247s | as well correct yes because we just saw |
| 12248s | the rock pool on the previous turn so |
| 12250s | that means that the base skill combo is |
| 12252s | available which really sends banana |
| 12255s | Slammer to from like really strong beat |
| 12258s | here com to you cannot beat the stats |
| 12260s | this outfit and it goes with |
| 12263s | this is what's so dangerous about bran |
| 12266s | as well like look at this damage boom |
| 12268s | punish him |
| 12270s | eight damage Mega Alex take it yourself |
| 12274s | back up and turn it around |
| 12280s | what double Juiced patience girl very |
| 12283s | interesting |
| 12285s | Mega Alex is certainly playing for the |
| 12287s | win here yeah it's got to be faceless |
| 12290s | right gotta be faceless you'd imagine |
| 12292s | but the thing is he's looking at a shop |
| 12295s | he does have a goal to play with I |
| 12297s | suppose yeah sure this is very playable |
| 12299s | wow |
| 12301s | bacon jazzer double jazzer |
| 12307s | but then you have to have a quick glance |
| 12309s | because like |
| 12312s | the moon Bacon's good |
| 12314s | well there was just a little nod to hang |
| 12316s | on a minute you could just get a taunt |
| 12318s | and have consistent gem production right |
| 12321s | with the other one I can't remember the |
| 12322s | name of the talk bacon |
| 12325s | the taunt bacon yeah |
| 12328s | you know what card I mean wait like |
| 12330s | bristleback the one that gives you blood |
| 12332s | gems and Thorns die or the actual yes |
| 12335s | yes okay no no yeah |
| 12340s | yeah I like the parrot pickup uh nothing |
| 12342s | here right now but I think a parrot on |
| 12344s | Tavern three with two Battle Cry minions |
| 12346s | already on your board which all which |
| 12348s | actually had a ticket on it as well |
| 12351s | uh has enough going for it oh has enough |
| 12353s | going for it in that spot are you gonna |
| 12355s | pick it up uh because you want to be |
| 12357s | doing roughly what your opponent is |
| 12359s | trying to do on this turn yeah start |
| 12361s | getting some para rilak stuff going what |
| 12364s | a few players are going to be doing |
| 12365s | because we saw Tesoro had the banana |
| 12366s | Slammer earlier on and I believe they |
| 12368s | picked up a fellow mental and uh on the |
| 12370s | board sorry as well so they'll be |
| 12372s | definitely looking for a a row like too |
| 12377s | a lot of people fighting for relax |
| 12379s | resources this game it seems like them |
| 12388s | to be 21 though after us both hitching |
| 12391s | our wagon to this |
| 12393s | yeah |
| 12394s | hello |
| 12396s | I've got someone to blame if it goes |
| 12397s | wrong though that's fair |
| 12403s | this is a position I found myself I |
| 12405s | found myself in quite often yeah |
| 12407s | frustratingly is you have the right leg |
| 12409s | and then just can't find battle cries |
| 12411s | and it's just like oh |
| 12413s | give me something yeah |
| 12417s | it's doing fine for now just as a three |
| 12419s | four torn yeah it's not particularly |
| 12421s | small at this point but it will fall off |
| 12423s | quickly if you're not getting repeated |
| 12424s | value out of it anytime soon and uh beta |
| 12427s | Babbitt is kind of hard committed now |
| 12429s | the uh the trickster gets discarded so |
| 12432s | these parrots aren't really doing |
| 12433s | anything except being somewhat large |
| 12435s | minions right now |
| 12437s | that's what I was talking about earlier |
| 12438s | with the sorrow against that filamental |
| 12439s | wow as well there is nine gold still to |
| 12443s | be spent and eight seconds to do it in |
| 12450s | down |
| 12452s | not the best beast of course to go with |
| 12454s | this banana Slumber but it's something |
| 12456s | to not die right |
| 12460s | yep you're on base skill blanchy it's |
| 12462s | not the best beast but better than |
| 12464s | buffing |
| 12471s | so that was three right yeah yeah it |
| 12473s | should be enough |
| 12477s | making life as difficult as humanly as |
| 12480s | possible but I'm still gonna get the w |
| 12482s | this amount of little damage pushing |
| 12483s | through there as well |
| 12485s | oh you want to say on Lich went to four |
| 12489s | and is smacking people okay this looks |
| 12492s | like something I might be interested in |
| 12494s | literally just definitely a Herobrine |
| 12496s | shield with big opportunities to uh do |
| 12500s | some degenerate things as has become the |
| 12503s | word of the day |
| 12505s | [Music] |
| 12506s | the letter of the day children is D for |
| 12509s | degenerate |
| 12512s | but what does degenerate mean so in |
| 12514s | Battlegrounds right |
| 12522s | nice tier four Soul rewinder chucking it |
| 12526s | back up straight to five |
| 12529s | wait for it |
| 12533s | [Music] |
| 12536s | those don't look like I'll cries uh no |
| 12540s | but I believe the triple that has |
| 12542s | summoned this discover is the rylac so |
| 12545s | it is a triple rilak with a Titus and a |
| 12548s | brand being offered from this term |
| 12555s | something into a battle cry please |
| 12558s | anything |
| 12560s | again oh |
| 12562s | oh my God what what |
| 12566s | I'll cry hey |
| 12570s | what |
| 12571s | gotta be Bongo to try and stabilize at |
| 12573s | least with you a bigger minion here but |
| 12575s | look at this |
| 12576s | I had a heart attack then when I saw the |
| 12578s | minion Switcheroo I know the minions was |
| 12581s | so terrifying |
| 12590s | and now before we got distracted by that |
| 12593s | triple I was going to say just keep an |
| 12596s | eye on proceedings here uh for giannisay |
| 12600s | on the Lich |
| 12601s | because |
| 12603s | will a player reached having six by turn |
| 12605s | eight is our sixth of six puzzle box |
| 12608s | questions he says turn eight |
| 12615s | already no already minions being bought |
| 12617s | on this turn it's looking incredibly |
| 12619s | unlike |
| 12625s | oh and it's Mega Alex and it's Mega Alex |
| 12628s | golden pig as well Golden Pig parrot |
| 12633s | rylack and there is just some natural uh |
| 12636s | generation on board with the uh with the |
| 12638s | one threes as well just immediately |
| 12640s | cashing out into Tempo and also it's not |
| 12643s | just a good setup just the fact is Silas |
| 12645s | tickets can also just dramatically |
| 12647s | impact the game right |
| 12650s | yeah |
| 12651s | noises |
| 12657s | I didn't like that one either here's a |
| 12659s | gold for the trouble I'm just getting |
| 12661s | those tickets oh second rilak oh there's |
| 12665s | the there was the filamental angle |
| 12668s | never Overlook the filamental angle |
| 12672s | it's really tricky because like is this |
| 12674s | out of the uh the gems now |
| 12677s | because they because he has the crystal |
| 12678s | back torn yeah |
| 12681s | do you get out of the two one threes and |
| 12683s | just have the taunted one |
| 12685s | I think you can help one of them right |
| 12687s | you can still keep the second one |
| 12688s | oh sure yeah yeah okay yeah I didn't |
| 12690s | really think about that but yeah you |
| 12691s | just sandwiched absolutely in the middle |
| 12693s | yeah either way I think the taunt one |
| 12695s | being your generator much better than |
| 12697s | the one Series right yep agreed |
| 12701s | the one the second one three will now be |
| 12703s | the next minion to go I'm sure at this |
| 12705s | point |
| 12708s | Mega Alex looking like could be in |
| 12710s | business |
| 12717s | one of those rilak effects that isn't as |
| 12719s | flashy because it looks like nothing's |
| 12721s | happening yeah yeah |
| 12723s | things are happening you always hover |
| 12726s | hover the gems afterwards right it's |
| 12728s | better now that they're in hand you see |
| 12729s | them go big |
| 12736s | oh it's okay actually zero it's actually |
| 12738s | yeah |
| 12740s | yeah I didn't realize that the demon was |
| 12742s | on three I thought it was higher than |
| 12744s | that yeah never mind ten very nice there |
| 12746s | for Mega relics sitting on 16. |
| 12751s | she couldn't find the Battle Cry I |
| 12753s | imagine let me have a look to Beck of |
| 12755s | pickled peppers yeah no Battle Cry ended |
| 12758s | the uh I think the round with a rattler |
| 12759s | as well |
| 12761s | but just no Battle Cry and that's |
| 12763s | happened to me I mean I'm way worse a |
| 12765s | bit about it of course but that's |
| 12766s | happened to me so many times right you |
| 12768s | have the setup but just not the final |
| 12769s | piece of the puzzle |
| 12773s | oh this takari |
| 12778s | the double reborn angle it wasn't bad I |
| 12780s | like it it's kind of good Slimer and you |
| 12782s | get Sly Raptor and the swords against |
| 12784s | ghosts |
| 12793s | meanwhile |
| 12794s | what is this board |
| 12796s | yeah some golden things |
| 12798s | some golden things a little bit of Venom |
| 12800s | scam going along |
| 12802s | Circa base kill enough yeah it looks |
| 12805s | like Shiro's probably gonna get locked |
| 12807s | in |
| 12808s | to uh General scan board pay skills with |
| 12811s | venomouses and uh Leroy's in hand |
| 12819s | yeah parrot's big which is nice |
| 12826s | more sentences we didn't think we'd say |
| 12835s | better hire a recruit while you can |
| 12839s | you can still make a comeback and let's |
| 12842s | see how short of it does here |
| 12845s | not the scariest looking side rather |
| 12847s | board I've ever seen no |
| 12850s | oh that was not it ran him straight into |
| 12854s | the Divine Shield this Leroy attack |
| 12855s | could just fear left oh |
| 12858s | and this is gonna be a huge amount of |
| 12861s | damage pushed by Shiro this turn now |
| 12863s | actual slaughtering going on here |
| 12870s | last attack crucial that's the best one |
| 12872s | on the board okay zarella manages to |
| 12874s | save a little bit of damage for uh |
| 12876s | penguin Sun |
| 12879s | still a good chunk |
| 12882s | Mega Alex versus a Battle Master right |
| 12885s | now still though plenty of Buffs going |
| 12887s | off with these gems |
| 12889s | about dead yeah |
| 12892s | I'm glad I switched off to |
| 12897s | oh the brand was going to be enough |
| 12901s | let's see if we can stay here just so we |
| 12903s | can establish how big these gems are |
| 12904s | before we go anywhere else oh look at |
| 12907s | the pickups as well even the ticket on |
| 12908s | that one |
| 12910s | yeah that's huge and position that next |
| 12913s | to one of the relax as well and maintain |
| 12916s | it for a while potentially |
| 12918s | yeah unfortunately the uh yeah the three |
| 12921s | four doesn't cut it right there aren't |
| 12922s | actually enough pigs on the board no |
| 12927s | oh hello |
| 12928s | [Music] |
| 12929s | huge get out venomous yeah goodbye |
| 12931s | murloc hello bigger torn things |
| 12936s | tripling to five as well |
| 12939s | five Blanche |
| 12943s | oh barov's a blessing time we've got |
| 12945s | this comp on the left that we've just |
| 12946s | been following from Mega Alex versus |
| 12948s | tesoro's uh pretty scary looking banana |
| 12951s | slimers actually |
| 12957s | already okay yes |
| 12961s | wait there is the uh prickle |
| 12964s | there as well I wouldn't hate it |
| 12966s | honestly problem is see you could go |
| 12970s | prickle first into parrot but you do |
| 12973s | then risk having both of your torns |
| 12974s | killed before you get pirate value and I |
| 12977s | don't but nothing made a tax worth it no |
| 12980s | there's so much health yeah maybe maybe |
| 12983s | it's a tough decision it's the fact that |
| 12985s | you're um |
| 12987s | the the health one is already golden |
| 12988s | right so you're missing so much value if |
| 12990s | you do hit the power on the attack one |
| 12992s | but yeah |
| 12993s | okay if I was blessing in quick so oh |
| 12995s | God uh oh I win yep automatic win never |
| 12998s | mind doesn't matter who wins the fight |
| 13002s | here we go though |
| 13004s | big big fight here the prickle was |
| 13013s | I mean it's all going either way here so |
| 13014s | I'll go in for Mega Alex so now yeah |
| 13016s | honestly just respect the banana |
| 13018s | Slammers for this turn and this yeah so |
| 13020s | the reason I went Mega Alex here is |
| 13022s | because the low attack High Health |
| 13024s | taunts had the chart they delay the |
| 13027s | actual banana Slammers going off for |
| 13028s | quite a long time right so okay that |
| 13030s | power is absurd that's a huge High Roll |
| 13032s | But like the The Blanche for example |
| 13035s | hasn't died and got value yet to the |
| 13038s | tournament stayed alive oh |
| 13040s | there's one gone |
| 13042s | so it gives |
| 13044s | um mega Alex's planchy a good |
| 13046s | opportunity to clear a lot of this up |
| 13048s | instead |
| 13053s | they're doing some work but again that |
| 13055s | is a lot of stat she might have got me |
| 13057s | on this one so yeah I had to make a |
| 13059s | quick decision myself |
| 13060s | I failed |
| 13063s | yeah this is why I like the um the |
| 13065s | prickle pickup though from Mega because |
| 13067s | the health seems like it's there right |
| 13070s | hello so just get some more attack and |
| 13072s | suddenly you're absolutely Unstoppable |
| 13075s | your minions really pulled their weight |
| 13079s | could this be it Soul do you think this |
| 13081s | is strong enough it's something it's |
| 13084s | certainly not an incredible blowout but |
| 13086s | you know the the blanchy health being |
| 13088s | double like tripling into that Blanche |
| 13090s | he definitely gives it a future right |
| 13091s | you can see something coming together |
| 13094s | now just with the amount of raw stats |
| 13096s | being dumped onto a blanchee but it's |
| 13098s | the same thing really is what we saw |
| 13101s | from uh giannises or the couple of games |
| 13104s | ago where there was the one massive uh |
| 13107s | wrath Weaver and then he needed to |
| 13108s | periodically find other minions to fill |
| 13110s | these gaps right now all Mega Alex has |
| 13113s | is an engine and one permanent final |
| 13117s | minion on his board in terms of that |
| 13118s | Blanche right other than that you still |
| 13120s | have to find like six other final |
| 13122s | minions to fill out that board |
| 13128s | we're gonna see what the plan is so far |
| 13133s | some bacon not bad |
| 13139s | not the strongest but it'll fight hard |
| 13143s | let's pick up the murloc to cash in some |
| 13145s | gold |
| 13147s | his Bunch |
| 13149s | what was the attacker I can't even see |
| 13151s | because he's casting too fast |
| 13153s | uh just two I think is it just like two |
| 13155s | yeah because the just the prickle once |
| 13157s | yeah yep |
| 13159s | also a pirate gone now pirate gone yeah |
| 13161s | starting to transition now into actual |
| 13163s | permanent units |
| 13168s | time going uh running into uh shirosa |
| 13173s | on player much more likely to take a |
| 13175s | loss to a hit than the other you know |
| 13176s | Mega Alex on double the health right now |
| 13179s | 16 still doable maybe not at this moment |
| 13182s | in time though oh Leroy good pickup |
| 13187s | a lot of Venom and destruction hanging |
| 13189s | around and a big juicy Hall |
| 13192s | Divine Shields |
| 13195s | okay the Leroy's dead though |
| 13197s | so that should be fine right yeah okay |
| 13199s | done |
| 13200s | it's potentially so scary |
| 13203s | and that means that shirosa is done and |
| 13206s | dusted right yes it does |
| 13208s | there we go the five and the nine just a |
| 13210s | little tiny nudge of Overkill there and |
| 13212s | megar Alex continues to fight but I |
| 13214s | think that fight show you know was |
| 13216s | easily showed him he'll obviously |
| 13218s | already be aware that he needs to |
| 13220s | convert quickly right oh yes just one |
| 13224s | he will get poisoned scammed out of |
| 13226s | existence if he sticks around with this |
| 13228s | board yeah it's longer |
| 13242s | [Music] |
| 13244s | a bit of a weird board as well from |
| 13245s | Janice definitely not weak by any |
| 13247s | stretch of the imagination but just |
| 13248s | strange |
| 13250s | yeah it's uh most of these weird boards |
| 13253s | that we've seen have just in boogie |
| 13256s | monster adjacent right that's what |
| 13258s | causes these kind of boards where you |
| 13259s | just you have some minions you find a |
| 13261s | boogie monster and then you have to have |
| 13263s | those minions for the rest of the game |
| 13265s | because you're too low to transition out |
| 13267s | of these 30 30s that you've made already |
| 13269s | with your boogie monster so you just |
| 13271s | kind of get stuck here playing six drops |
| 13273s | and just trying to creep up the |
| 13274s | leaderboard as high as you can |
| 13285s | oh |
| 13292s | slightly smaller blanchey there |
| 13294s | it's still on the low on the attack or |
| 13296s | the the 710 Health again is good until |
| 13300s | you stumble into some venomous yeah but |
| 13304s | it doesn't look like that Janice in |
| 13306s | particular has anything to be able to |
| 13308s | fight this with |
| 13309s | he also just had stuff right it's a lot |
| 13312s | of stuff but 700 damage worth of stuff I |
| 13314s | don't think so and again this is the |
| 13317s | benefit here where Mega Alex and it's |
| 13319s | again why I think the pricker was |
| 13321s | worthwhile the 60 for now is good enough |
| 13324s | right whereas if this Bunch was like |
| 13325s | four or six or something where we could |
| 13328s | then talk about whether 700 is doable |
| 13330s | yeah very fair |
| 13332s | they're saying that 700. 1400. |
| 13341s | yeah this is what just uh breaking |
| 13347s | it's to tell the tale though like I'm |
| 13349s | pretty sure if you go through Mega |
| 13350s | Alex's fight history from now back |
| 13352s | several turns it'll just be dealt time |
| 13354s | delt 10 Delta oh there's nine yeah |
| 13364s | oh dear Alex you are in trouble my |
| 13367s | friend |
| 13368s | [Music] |
| 13370s | foreign |
| 13372s | it's interesting though right because |
| 13374s | I'm just taking a quick glance again yep |
| 13377s | like |
| 13380s | obviously we'll see what Mega Alex does |
| 13382s | but it's not like these venomous are |
| 13384s | particularly High Health right and |
| 13385s | because the Blanche is right at the back |
| 13387s | like a lot of things can snipe these but |
| 13392s | they still have to hit right so and |
| 13394s | that's the big problem right but it |
| 13395s | could actually kill off a good amount of |
| 13397s | these before it even becomes a problem |
| 13398s | on the blanchey well so the problem with |
| 13400s | that is though |
| 13402s | um although no he has he has a venomous |
| 13404s | minion up front there's Mega Alex right |
| 13406s | so his venomous minion will take care of |
| 13408s | this big Pawn immediately okay that's a |
| 13410s | big deal because without that |
| 13412s | every other small minion on his |
| 13414s | would just marched straight into the |
| 13417s | 2866 and then it would just be two |
| 13418s | venomous is potentially take care of the |
| 13420s | Blanche in game over but the fact that |
| 13422s | Mega Alex has started transitioning into |
| 13424s | more permanent minions |
| 13426s | he knows what he's doing so he knows |
| 13429s | what he's doing doesn't he knows |
| 13433s | oh good pickup with the tone on the |
| 13435s | selfless as well |
| 13438s | it just keeps on pumping hey look if |
| 13443s | it's got Divine Shield you didn't need |
| 13444s | to fear venomous anymore yeah yeah but |
| 13446s | look at the distribute distribution of |
| 13448s | blood gems right just one on each minion |
| 13450s | that is hanging around for a significant |
| 13451s | amount of time which means that they'll |
| 13454s | live long enough theoretically to be |
| 13455s | able to bump into other people's |
| 13457s | venomouses before they get down the |
| 13458s | chain to be able to fight his Blanche |
| 13460s | this is really really smooth stuff from |
| 13463s | uh from Mega Alex right now Bart the big |
| 13465s | minion goes into a taunted venomous on |
| 13468s | the other side which now means there is |
| 13470s | a much greater chance that some of these |
| 13472s | Venoms can connect but the device Shield |
| 13474s | is so huge |
| 13478s | it tanks |
| 13481s | okay so there's the big boy God oh he's |
| 13483s | already won I mean he's already yeah |
| 13484s | that's fine that's fine right there's |
| 13486s | only one left oh |
| 13488s | and the Divine shield for good luck as |
| 13490s | well wow there's another player getting |
| 13492s | knocked out and now if that wanted what |
| 13495s | thesaurus gone as well there's just |
| 13497s | Janice versus mega Alex and just a |
| 13500s | reminder to all of you watching if |
| 13501s | you've just tuned in the golden numbers |
| 13503s | on Mega Alex's name on the left means |
| 13506s | that if he wins this game he wins the |
| 13508s | whole tournament we are done and dusted |
| 13511s | so it's up to Janice and all the other |
| 13513s | six players right now that are currently |
| 13515s | dead are praying and hoping that Janice |
| 13518s | can put a stop to this |
| 13521s | how I mean okay yep step one you buy |
| 13524s | that for sure |
| 13526s | but how is this even possible |
| 13528s | well |
| 13532s | it would have to be venomous and true |
| 13534s | shot right and perfect hits |
| 13537s | because yeah true shot is probably a |
| 13541s | good out yeah |
| 13542s | that's the only thing I could think oh |
| 13544s | like double Leroy at the very end or |
| 13547s | something you know like submit really |
| 13550s | cheesy because we just saw a lot of |
| 13551s | cheese and it was melted away oh by the |
| 13554s | way you can see the residuals here we |
| 13556s | didn't actually watch this but look at |
| 13557s | that tiny torn on the right hand side |
| 13559s | yes abused the same thing against hesora |
| 13562s | that I was talking about in our barrel |
| 13563s | of blessing put a small torn in the way |
| 13565s | and it just delays the attacks from the |
| 13567s | beasts so the Reborns and the summons |
| 13569s | never actually happen they just sit on |
| 13572s | the left-hand side still fully intact |
| 13574s | and then you go down the chain and the |
| 13575s | mama bears and the banana Slammers just |
| 13577s | start marching straight into things and |
| 13579s | die |
| 13580s | yeah really high level play from these |
| 13582s | players gonna finish on that Leroy oh |
| 13585s | there's a true shot in response |
| 13587s | um mega Alex just getting ahead of the |
| 13589s | curve here I like it you've infected me |
| 13591s | by the way straight shot straight shot |
| 13594s | oh sorry other things are called true |
| 13597s | shot I'm just going all the all the way |
| 13599s | back from Warcraft 3 where an Elven Hero |
| 13601s | has |
| 13602s | actually I believe |
| 13606s | so it's stealth shot right |
| 13608s | hey that's the one you got it okay thank |
| 13611s | you |
| 13612s | it's huge and if this Leroy goes yeah |
| 13614s | there's one venomous but there's |
| 13616s | currently a Divine Shield still there on |
| 13618s | the blend sheet oh that's it |
| 13622s | it kind of won the fight without even |
| 13625s | yeah I didn't even need it |
| 13627s | absolutely incredible and I believe tell |
| 13630s | me if I'm wrong subtle but I believe |
| 13632s | that means Mega Alex is our lobby |
| 13635s | Legends spring Champion what a day and |
| 13640s | what a performance and honestly what a |
| 13643s | people pleaser as well like what a kiss |
| 13646s | up doing it in a way that makes both of |
| 13648s | us incredibly happy he did it with rylac |
| 13652s | scaling which is my absolute favorite |
| 13653s | thing in the world and he did it with |
| 13655s | pigs which Raven has been calling for |
| 13657s | all tournaments so he's actually done it |
| 13659s | in a way that's put a smile on both of |
| 13661s | our faces at the same time brilliant |
| 13664s | performance took a game off in the |
| 13666s | middle just to let everyone else have a |
| 13668s | go I guess yeah yeah after it all comes |
| 13671s | down Mega Alex just hops right back on |
| 13673s | the bike once more and oh my goodness |
| 13675s | what a way to end it with the 700 Health |
| 13677s | launch at the end yeah just an |
| 13680s | incredible performance overall and I |
| 13682s | just think definitely a memorable one |
| 13685s | and that's something that's becoming a |
| 13686s | bit of a theme with these Lobby Legends |
| 13688s | tournaments over the years right but I |
| 13690s | think this one for me just the back to |
| 13692s | back to back win to kick off day two is |
| 13695s | it I can only imagine how terrified the |
| 13699s | other seven players were as each Lobby |
| 13701s | just carried on oh they won again oh |
| 13703s | they won again oh I'm not even close to |
| 13706s | actually getting 20 points yet it must |
| 13708s | have been terrifying it was a good |
| 13710s | effort from the players but I think this |
| 13712s | was just Mega Alex's day uh very |
| 13714s | impressive and I think not only yes did |
| 13717s | he Spike you know three three rounds in |
| 13718s | a row but it's not just the oh you know |
| 13721s | got a bit lucky here and there I think |
| 13723s | just from turn by turn play that we saw |
| 13725s | he just executed perfectly every time so |
| 13728s | impressive yeah for sure I know what I |
| 13731s | will say is I think Giana say kind of |
| 13732s | had a hand in the demise there at the |
| 13734s | end as well because I hear we didn't see |
| 13737s | that fight again but by his Tech choice |
| 13738s | with the small torn destroying the |
| 13740s | banana player some kind of Base skill |
| 13743s | banana blanchy combo was the only way |
| 13746s | that anyone was gonna find stats to |
| 13748s | compete with what Meg Alex was doing |
| 13750s | right and yanase kind of stole that |
| 13753s | opportunity away from the banana player |
| 13755s | to be able to maybe compete with mega |
| 13757s | Alex's tyranny |
| 13759s | um but I think this Lobby was probably |
| 13762s | the first one of the day where what five |
| 13764s | or six players fought it out for the |
| 13767s | rylac stuff on Tavern three and they |
| 13769s | kind of had to sit and see who was the |
| 13771s | first person to hit in that regard be |
| 13773s | about it dying with Baron golden rylax |
| 13776s | zero battle cries several other players |
| 13779s | playing for kind of parrots and relax as |
| 13781s | well and not really hitting and then |
| 13783s | Mega Alex just going hey let me show you |
| 13785s | how this is done I've hit all the stuff |
| 13786s | my blood gems are giving like 30 40 HP a |
| 13789s | pop at this point |
| 13791s | um I do think great decision in the end |
| 13793s | just to pick up that extra three or four |
| 13794s | attack over the course of the game with |
| 13796s | the prickle as well so very very nice |
| 13798s | nicely played overall for Mega Alex |
| 13801s | yeah really impressive and I just think |
| 13803s | again just to give a shout out to all |
| 13805s | the other players as well I think it's |
| 13806s | just been a great weekend and a great |
| 13808s | beginning of Lobby Legends this year |
| 13810s | really showing off what's capable |
| 13811s | especially in this current meta as we |
| 13813s | check out some of the uh yeah winning |
| 13815s | plays and best winning moments here from |
| 13817s | Mega Alex and it is you know it does all |
| 13819s | go down to that Blanche but I do think |
| 13821s | the preparation the insta switch to the |
| 13824s | selfless and taunting them up basically |
| 13826s | just being one step ahead of the |
| 13829s | reactionary plays from the opponents and |
| 13831s | I think that is really what propelled |
| 13833s | him for he didn't have to see the |
| 13835s | answers to be able to answer himself |
| 13837s | he's like right what am I weak to let me |
| 13839s | just fix that and just did it before |
| 13841s | anyone else could even catch up and you |
| 13843s | can see |
| 13845s | by the way these fights are going Alex |
| 13847s | took so much care of all of his other |
| 13850s | Minions that actually most these fights |
| 13853s | were kind of one without the Blanche |
| 13854s | even really getting involved in those |
| 13856s | last two fights because he knew the only |
| 13859s | way he was going to lose at this point |
| 13861s | was if he tunneled two all in onto that |
| 13864s | individual blanchy and then got sniped |
| 13866s | by a venomous or a LeRoy so he had to |
| 13868s | make sure that he gave some love spread |
| 13870s | the love around to all of the other |
| 13872s | minions and did such a good job of that |
| 13874s | that honestly his board was pretty |
| 13876s | competitive for first place even without |
| 13878s | the Blanche being involved in the final |
| 13880s | fight so very very nicely played yeah |
| 13883s | super clean and I believe we can take a |
| 13884s | look at the final standings on how the |
| 13887s | day has shaken out and how the weekend |
| 13889s | is shaken out now because I keep kind of |
| 13891s | just forgetting the tournament's over |
| 13892s | because Alex just got the job done in |
| 13894s | five games look at that I think it's |
| 13897s | gonna be a while before we see a score |
| 13899s | line like that at least in that shorter |
| 13901s | period subtle yeah penguins aren't |
| 13903s | getting over the line in that game as |
| 13905s | well would have officially put the lobby |
| 13907s | in to check if the tournament had |
| 13908s | continued but Mega Alex being over the |
| 13911s | check threshold of 20 points and picking |
| 13913s | up a win has ended the tournament and |
| 13915s | then we Cascade down the points there |
| 13917s | for the rest of placements which means |
| 13918s | by the way Raven my fantasy team our |
| 13921s | second third and fourth on day two which |
| 13923s | is not bad going I'm pretty happy with |
| 13925s | that one overall well |
| 13928s | okay look I was prepared to go into this |
| 13931s | weekend losing versus you in this I lost |
| 13934s | day one I paid for it with a poem I am |
| 13937s | pretty sure just off the top of my head |
| 13939s | I'm going to be losing day two which no |
| 13942s | doubt will check out soon we'll get that |
| 13944s | information up for you uh obviously all |
| 13945s | playing at home uh watching it as well |
| 13947s | uh so that'll be uh that'll be good to |
| 13949s | check out a little bit later on but just |
| 13951s | is a really impressive tournament I |
| 13953s | think I think once again Japan just |
| 13955s | saying yep we're the best |
| 13958s | don't full stop because not many really |
| 13960s | arguments and I think anyone that tries |
| 13962s | to argue that I will say they're silly |
| 13965s | because I think just time and time again |
| 13967s | they're now just proving it's just the |
| 13969s | facto dominant uh region in Hearthstone |
| 13972s | Battlegrounds right now |
| 13973s | and look at that hey |
| 13982s | not me indeed |
| 13987s | I was uh I was feeling the the less than |
| 13989s | seven games out of the seven games or |
| 13991s | less should I say today because I just I |
| 13993s | just had a funny feeling I I said to you |
| 13995s | this uh before the show started today |
| 13997s | that like the players who have sort of |
| 13999s | been on fire just didn't really feel |
| 14001s | like they were dipping at all it just |
| 14003s | felt like consistent performances |
| 14004s | especially from the Japanese players so |
| 14007s | excited to see that but overall I think |
| 14009s | both of us deserve a bit of a round of |
| 14010s | applause because we did pretty well here |
| 14012s | I think yeah yeah I think so I feel like |
| 14015s | if um you'd put a little bit of thought |
| 14017s | into this you could have actually clean |
| 14018s | swept it because I don't think no one |
| 14021s | more than seven games and then yes on |
| 14023s | four or more different winners makes |
| 14025s | sense is a combination of picks right |
| 14027s | because you're not hedging bet something |
| 14028s | okay yeah fair enough I feel like I'm |
| 14031s | weirdly being punished for |
| 14033s | four wins from the same player in five |
| 14037s | games I mean no one had that on their |
| 14038s | bingo card let's be honest look at these |
| 14040s | total scores uh you'll have to see how |
| 14042s | you compare to us in the chat but I will |
| 14044s | say you know fair enough congratulations |
| 14046s | all you did destroyed me in this I was |
| 14048s | not good at all |
| 14050s | um but yeah there's a first try I |
| 14053s | thought it was okay for a first try for |
| 14054s | me yeah |
| 14056s | yeah that's all honestly uh ran a little |
| 14058s | bit closer than I would have expected |
