926s	[Music]
932s	greetings and well met everyone watching
935s	it is my pleasure to bring you all in
937s	for the final day of Lobby Legends
940s	winter Veil the final day of competitive
942s	Battlegrounds for the year which means
945s	the hype the tension the nerves and all
948s	I'm high for all of our players but
951s	hopefully here on the casting desk we're
953s	feeling a little bit more chill if still
955s	very excited to get into the action with
957s	uh Pocky once again joining me today how
960s	are you feeling about today after uh
962s	yesterday's fantastic games really good
964s	I mean they really proud me up I'm
966s	expecting great things I was thinking
968s	about you know our fantasy teams and the
970s	players left and I was like thinking
972s	about like every player played so well
974s	yesterday and now they're all matched up
976s	against each other I don't know what's
979s	gonna happen but I know it's gonna be a
982s	super fun to watch and uh I know the
984s	players are excited too making it to the
986s	finals that's a big deal
989s	well I hope you at least know a little
990s	bit what to expect because I did choose
992s	to uh believe in you in my uh public box
994s	questions but we'll we'll get to that
996s	when the time is right as first of all
998s	we need to take a look at the the Tony
1000s	overview where yesterday we started with
1003s	16 players divided up into two lobbies
1005s	after three games in each Lobby the top
1008s	four from each joined us in today's
1010s	single Lobby so only eight players left
1013s	in the running and today they are gonna
1015s	be playing in the Czech format which uh
1018s	pocket do you want to give us a quick
1019s	rundown of what we can expect from Czech
1022s	yeah the check format is super cool so
1024s	it's not like the typical standard
1026s	format where there's a set number of
1028s	rounds there's not what happens is the
1030s	players play for the points just like
1031s	they normally do but they have to hit
1033s	the 20 point threshold where they put
1036s	the lobby into check once they do if
1038s	they get a first place the tournament
1040s	ends right there they win the tournament
1043s	and then the rest of the standings sort
1045s	of fall where they are but what that
1047s	means is that any player can win at any
1051s	time because they can always come back
1052s	continually win take down the crown and
1057s	take it for themselves if they get that
1059s	final first place yeah there's always
1061s	something on the line unlike yesterday
1063s	where you saw you know after a couple
1065s	games some of the players with no chance
1066s	of making it here always something to
1068s	play for which is I think the real
1069s	strength of the format but it's very
1071s	much something for you to play for at
1073s	home as we take a look at our Tavern
1075s	buddy extension here if you are watching
1078s	on Twitch then you can join in with the
1081s	fun at home tried to predict some of the
1084s	events of today's action starting with
1088s	the I think probably the simplest of the
1090s	four mini games that we have going on
1092s	here in fantasy team we are going to be
1094s	choosing three players from each group
1096s	which today is just three players
1097s	because there's only one group left
1099s	choosing the three players you think are
1101s	going to do best and the better they do
1103s	the more points you are going to get and
1105s	uh I don't know about you Pocky but I
1107s	had a really tough time picking today
1109s	because you said it exactly right even
1111s	ignoring previous results which leaves
1114s	us with some very storied players they
1115s	just played so well yesterday every one
1117s	of these players
1119s	yeah I mean the roster is stacked we've
1122s	got a previous winner we've got players
1124s	that have made it to the finals through
1126s	every qualifier they've been in I mean
1127s	it's just insane how good these players
1129s	are absolutely yeah and the puzzle box
1132s	questions probably the uh the most
1134s	exciting for me uh of the mini games
1136s	that we have we have a series of six
1138s	questions that you're gonna have to
1139s	answer I think they're mostly yes no uh
1141s	that we have here all yes no and you
1143s	just have to guess will they occur over
1145s	today's action we'll show you what all
1147s	of those are very briefly bandwagon pick
1150s	up next it's a chance to at the start of
1153s	each individual game try to guess who
1156s	you think the winner is going to be you
1158s	have four turns to make your decision
1160s	but the earlier you do it the more
1161s	points you get so you could just see if
1163s	anyone gets your favorite hero and think
1165s	right straight away boom I'm going with
1168s	them maybe they get like a triple in
1170s	their first shot for example if they're
1171s	very very fortunate or you can wait
1173s	until you see the quests wait and see
1175s	how the curves work out any triples
1176s	available for a lot of our players so
1178s	it's a lot of risk reward there and then
1181s	barov's blessing which I broke my
1183s	perfect streak on yesterday poppy in a
1186s	real Heartbreaker where we will be
1187s	showing one match or one yeah
1190s	yeah very close
1193s	and uh 11 for 12 is not bad you know I'm
1197s	gonna run so but we're gonna have a lot
1199s	of pressure on us for the bandwagon and
1201s	the barrels blessing so I'm gonna feel
1204s	the pressure on the bandwagon you're
1205s	gonna have the pressure on you for Bears
1207s	blessing let's see if we can do it we
1208s	did pretty well yesterday I was pretty
1209s	proud of myself you've got a little bit
1211s	of a lead but I'm feeling the comeback
1213s	today for myself
1216s	all right uh we shall have to see I mean
1218s	it's gonna be a bit complicated because
1219s	as I said my uh one of my questions was
1223s	guessing how accurate you would be so
1224s	the better you do the the better I do
1226s	it's going to be a bit of a tough one to
1228s	work through uh but in terms of again
1229s	what our players are fighting for uh
1232s	these are the distributions within each
1234s	Lobby and uh do you anticipate that
1237s	things are going to change in terms of
1238s	the way the players fight because we
1240s	know once they've got the lobby in check
1242s	all they care about is first that's very
1244s	simple but before that point our player
1247s	is going to be going all out for that
1248s	first because players can very rapidly
1250s	steal that check uh position if you if
1253s	they don't
1254s	yeah and I think for this one sort of
1257s	the same thing happens earlier in the
1259s	stages that I was talking about
1260s	yesterday where you go for those
1261s	consistent finishes because Ace and
1263s	sevenths are so punishing it means that
1265s	you have so much more pressure on you to
1267s	catch up to get the lobby into check and
1270s	So to avoid that pressure getting the
1271s	consistent finishes getting to that
1273s	track threshold and then everything
1275s	changes right then it's stopping someone
1278s	from getting first if you don't have it
1279s	in your own setup and if you do have
1282s	that first place forward going all out
1284s	for it
1286s	very interesting to see a lot of
1287s	different styles of play coming into
1289s	play yesterday with some of the players
1291s	going for those very consistent mid-game
1294s	strategies that we talk about they just
1295s	give you a real boost in power level
1297s	very quickly but don't necessarily scale
1300s	in a late game but as we can see the
1302s	incentive is very much there for our
1304s	players to finish in that first place
1306s	whereas unlike yesterday just had to
1308s	squeeze in a top four it didn't matter
1309s	where they placed above that fourth spot
1311s	but a jump of five thousand dollars
1314s	given that we are doubling our prize
1316s	ball for the final Lobby Legends of the
1318s	Year means that they uh get not only as
1321s	I said they're very nice boost in money
1323s	but the uh the title of the last Lobby
1325s	Legends winner of the year that's a big
1328s	thing having different steps for all
1330s	these prizes oh yeah you know every
1332s	placement matters if you don't get first
1334s	second still I mean yeah that's a lot of
1336s	Moolah so they're all going to be uh
1340s	playing for every placement every game
1342s	every point every fight
1345s	absolutely can't wait to see how the
1347s	different strategies will uh come into
1350s	play uh over the day you know I've got
1353s	an idea of what we might be expecting uh
1355s	after yesterday's action but there were
1358s	some uh you know interesting omissions I
1360s	think it's fair to say uh over
1362s	yesterday's action we explore demons
1364s	coming in a lot with that sir tiger uh
1367s	seals uh teal Sapphire uh but murlocs
1370s	very much making a uh not as big of a
1373s	splash as you might expect so we'll uh
1374s	jump into that a little bit more as the
1376s	team progresses but first of all running
1378s	through our puzzle box questions and uh
1382s	okay what we're 50 50 agreeing and
1384s	disagreeing here which is pretty
1386s	interesting to see
1387s	yeah so the first question is if I'm
1390s	gonna be able to pick three bandwagon
1392s	winners I think I did pretty well
1393s	yesterday but this time I'll try and let
1397s	you in on my picks chat and and uh you
1400s	know hopefully you'll be winning along
1401s	with me
1403s	excuse me do I see that I believed in
1405s	you but you didn't believe in me I'm the
1408s	points winner let me remind you okay I'm
1410s	winning right now you got to show
1411s	respect to your Bettors
1413s	and uh it's it's just harder I mean this
1416s	is less about you and more about Lorinda
1419s	chooses some really tough ones yesterday
1421s	he does I think he's gonna choose some
1423s	tough ones today and sometimes you know
1425s	sometimes the RNG just comes into it and
1427s	and that's you know yeah I can bet on
1431s	you or I can bet on Bob and and Bob sort
1433s	of reads the premium Battlegrounds yeah
1436s	always bet on board it's never a good
1437s	idea to go against him uh more than six
1440s	games I mean this is just a case of uh
1442s	sod's law it's the middle of the night
1444s	here in the UK and you know for a gosh
1446s	dang fact that it's gonna go for a full
1448s	nine games here and I'm gonna be up
1450s	until six in the morning
1451s	um so that's why I had to go with that
1453s	one will again reach 11 turns without an
1455s	elimination I mean we saw it yesterday
1457s	all right we saw her go to turn 12 let
1459s	alone turn 11. uh so I do believe that
1461s	one will come true
1463s	yeah we disagree on this cooked Book
1465s	quest reward now I know it's tough but I
1467s	told you I'm a fan we didn't see a ton
1470s	but we did see uh it with the APM
1474s	Pirates and kind of getting out of
1476s	control and if it does get out of
1478s	control that Quest certainly can result
1480s	in a win it's just a matter of uh if it
1483s	can get to that stage and we'll we'll
1484s	have to see
1485s	it can do yeah I find for me it's
1487s	usually a little bit more of a second or
1489s	third place type of quest but that of
1492s	course may just be my skill level uh but
1494s	then that last one will a player win
1495s	with a dragon on the board at the end I
1499s	mean how can you pick yes for that one
1500s	this is dragons we're talking about they
1502s	have to be the weakest mini right now
1504s	surely I don't think we saw them like at
1507s	all yesterday but I went with yes
1510s	because uh I've I've got I feel it I got
1514s	some thoughts okay I mean we'll get into
1515s	that
1516s	all right we'll get into that when we
1518s	get to it but uh it's possible it's
1521s	possible not really much for Tech
1522s	anymore but maybe in actual medies if
1525s	there's a lot of divine Shields
1526s	something like that could pop up you
1528s	never know absolutely we'll have to see
1530s	when it comes around but that is us all
1533s	done with our Tavern body which means I
1536s	think now we can take a look at our
1538s	players who are left
1542s	um contention here uh our finalists in
1544s	the final Lobby and man like I know we
1548s	said that all the players played
1550s	yesterday but if we think about all the
1551s	standouts yesterday I'm thinking the
1553s	consistency of penguin sand the
1556s	flashiness of Swords play and then from
1558s	Vigo just that absolute one in a million
1561s	game that he had uh on Patchwork that
1564s	was really one for the ages
1566s	yeah with the comeback and we see sexy
1568s	who had phenomenal results yesterday uh
1571s	Max 7K a former winner
1574s	um zorgo's he was locked in after two
1577s	games he didn't even need to worry about
1579s	the third game and zanyang and Sarah
1581s	also fantastic uh Mayo on the Korean
1584s	cast predicted he was sure zanyang was
1587s	making the finals
1589s	he might be onto something and uh I
1592s	don't know what he was predicting for
1593s	this but we might see zanyang up there
1595s	too
1597s	yeah I will say I think the designer was
1599s	not necessarily one of the most
1600s	memorable players of day one but that's
1603s	not a bad thing necessarily like on day
1606s	one as we said you don't need to be
1607s	winning these lobbies you just need to
1609s	have consistent performances and if
1611s	you're just chugging along with these
1612s	you know fairly uninteresting uh but
1614s	reliable compositions uh that's often
1617s	going to work well for you but today we
1619s	do need to see that spark of Brilliance
1621s	uh something a little bit more from all
1623s	of our players because of course take
1625s	the win and uh once again here I think
1628s	with uh me and you Pocky the one uh
1631s	connecting thread between our two
1633s	fantasy teams is sword
1635s	yeah and I mean it comes down to the
1637s	fact that I mean for me making nine out
1641s	of nine qualifiers and Lobby legends
1643s	that is an impressive feat that only a
1645s	handful of people across the world can
1648s	boast about and uh I mean his play every
1651s	time I've seen him in lobby Legends is
1653s	also fantastic so I'm expecting big
1654s	things from him
1656s	and the rest of my players as I said
1658s	Penguin Sound I just think was one of
1659s	the most consistently strong players not
1661s	only of yesterday but really just of
1663s	Lobby Legends in general for me and then
1665s	shaksi was just uh pretty much as I
1668s	anticipated having such a a lateral
1670s	approach to the game it felt like any
1673s	thread of a uh uh direction that was
1676s	offered to him he was clutching it and
1678s	just running with it with wherever it
1680s	went for him and uh led to some pretty
1682s	cool games from him that I do believe
1683s	will put him in good stead today
1686s	yeah absolutely I had zorgo on there I
1689s	gotta I gotta roof for their last
1691s	Western hope that we've got there and
1692s	then uh Vigo that the patchwork came I
1695s	mean that was one of the most brilliant
1697s	games I've seen in a long time it wasn't
1699s	the standard play quilvers we didn't see
1701s	much but the prophet of the board
1702s	Patchwork making it work along with the
1704s	pressure being on he needed that win to
1707s	get through and uh I'm there's just a
1710s	sense of momentum in in the magic there
1713s	for me so
1715s	yeah I mean that uh that profit was uh
1718s	by name and nature in both definitions
1720s	of the word because it was just pure
1722s	money uh towards the second half of that
1724s	game getting him so many blood gems over
1725s	and over again uh which I'd love to see
1728s	again our players adapting to the new
1729s	changes in the metagame most
1732s	specifically with enhancer meccano and
1735s	the meccano quest as well the enhance
1737s	Quest as well which has been looking
1740s	like a real game changer so far I have
1742s	to be honest I didn't actually think it
1744s	would make as much of an impact when it
1746s	was first announced as it seems to have
1748s	done here but it just feels like a very
1750s	high priority pick for all of our
1751s	players yesterday uh and do you see that
1754s	carrying over to today as well
1756s	interestingly it'll be hard to see
1758s	because it actually got changed
1760s	yesterday so they're going to be playing
1762s	right of course yeah branded new version
1765s	of it it's going to be a little bit more
1766s	difficult which does make a difference
1768s	but you know on all of them it's going
1770s	to come down to what that Quest actually
1772s	is what that hero is what their setup is
1775s	and how quickly they're going to be able
1776s	to complete it if you get it early if
1778s	murlax aren't especially giving you
1779s	access to that Divine Shield poison
1781s	combo I think we'll see it
1785s	um if not maybe we'll miss it and that's
1788s	okay because it'll make room for a lot
1789s	of other exciting quests
1791s	um is there any other perquests that we
1794s	didn't see yesterday that you'd want to
1795s	see today
1796s	I mean what do you see we saw a golden
1798s	Hammer which is a real favorite of mine
1800s	coming in pretty clutch with orgazord
1802s	which is just like such a cool
1804s	interaction but the main thing I liked
1806s	about that one was just how
1808s	I don't know how flexible it proved to
1810s	be in one composition like we saw
1813s	players on the same game putting it on
1815s	what like Warden Warden of old uh the
1819s	orgazoa the thyssa as well just like
1821s	sending it all over the board which I
1823s	think shows that a good in-depth
1825s	understanding of specific compositions
1827s	uh Works uh very well so I think for me
1831s	even though we have already seen a
1832s	little bit of it I am looking to see a
1834s	bit more from the golden Hammer because
1836s	I think it just really rewards
1837s	creativity in your approach to the game
1839s	yeah it's really cool to make any minion
1841s	on your board golden for the tavern
1844s	phase and the combat phase so that one's
1846s	really cool I think pilford lamps that
1848s	one's really difficult to finish but
1851s	once it goes off it can be one of the
1853s	most high roll quests available so I'd
1855s	love to see that and of course cookbook
1857s	because uh I've got my prediction riding
1859s	on that one so hopefully we see a few of
1860s	those ones
1862s	yeah that'll be a really nice one to see
1864s	uh again I'm trying to think some of the
1866s	ones that were the real standouts over
1868s	the last uh game like we saw friends
1870s	along the way be uh peripheral help like
1874s	a kind of nice way to Tech your board
1875s	rather than necessarily offering a huge
1878s	amount of Direction but another hidden
1880s	body I think for me was really the
1882s	standout Quest that we saw yesterday
1884s	because there were just so many players
1886s	who had
1888s	so much repetition it felt like they
1889s	were getting it at least once a turn if
1891s	not more towards the end stage of the
1892s	game whether it be playing battle cries
1894s	or adding cards to your hand and I think
1897s	that just offers a um
1899s	both a really good amount of tech when
1901s	you can hit all these tech cards more
1903s	consistently and also just strong
1904s	Direction uh in your early game as well
1907s	when you're trying to find some of those
1908s	five costs that can really uh point you
1910s	where you want to go
1912s	yeah absolutely and the players are so
1914s	good at utilizing those discoveries just
1916s	the uh the access to to being able to
1919s	choose you know and have that control is
1923s	so big for them because you know
1924s	Battlegrounds like I talked about
1926s	earlier there's so much Randomness to it
1929s	and how you get to the top is being
1931s	consistent in your play controlling all
1933s	those random elements and discovers help
1935s	you do that and so I think I'm I'm with
1937s	you every time that we saw it yesterday
1939s	the players were making the most of it
1941s	and I I'd expect that to continue
1943s	I think we saw a awful of times ghastly
1947s	mask being picked but I don't really
1950s	remember actually coming into play uh in
1953s	a major way which kind of feels like a
1955s	common occurrence with that Quest where
1957s	it's very often uh expensive to complete
1960s	right where you're offered one of these
1962s	six costs uh like uh young merkai
1965s	something like that and it has a very
1966s	very steep cost to complete it uh do you
1969s	still think that's like was that a
1971s	mistake for players to have picked it
1973s	previously or do you believe in the
1974s	power of ghastly mask in the right
1975s	situation I don't think it was a mistake
1978s	but one of the interesting things that
1980s	you do see sometimes with gasoline mask
1981s	is actually taking it when it has one of
1984s	those lower tier cards like okay perhaps
1987s	and then if there are those higher tiers
1989s	available you can find those on your own
1992s	so you get the easy Quest completion but
1995s	you still get the strength of having
1997s	that double the end of turn effect for
2000s	something like felbat Charles or the
2002s	walking fort
2004s	all right we've just been told the game
2006s	is starting up as we speak so uh no need
2011s	to delay any further uh but in terms of
2014s	our players to start things off Mr
2017s	Hockey uh any things that you're
2019s	expecting from our players today that
2020s	you think their their play Styles will
2022s	be a real Boon to them now that we are
2024s	here in the check format
2027s	really curious to see how these players
2028s	utilize Max this time
2031s	um we talked about how strong they can
2033s	be but we didn't see a lot of those sort
2035s	of complete Mech boards yesterday today
2039s	with a little bit more in the line uh
2042s	I'd be surprised if we don't see that
2044s	oh and you asked about the new hero
2047s	coming into play here it is zanyang
2049s	taking it in game one
2051s	has four armor now so gonna have a
2054s	little bit easier quests along with a
2057s	little bit more Health to work with
2063s	we also have Max 7 key on Varden penguin
2066s	sun on Elise vigo's picked up Lord a
2069s	bearov
2071s	Sarah will have that feeling we'll see
2073s	that hero uh Power choice in a moment
2075s	zorgo's on the galley and shanksy has
2078s	that last pick
2080s	uh sword on the bran she actually took
2084s	that confusing Cookie's skin now we know
2087s	what it is
2088s	uh so some interesting here's a lot of
2091s	Heroes that uh are very capable or even
2094s	incentivized to go three on three
2098s	and so before we even know what the uh
2100s	the minion types are I guess it's an
2102s	interesting point to ask uh with bran
2104s	having been picked here does that
2105s	guarantee us that murlocs are in the
2108s	lobby would you ever pick it without
2109s	them being available as a minion type
2112s	yeah I mean it's obviously best with
2114s	Miralax in but there are a lot of setups
2117s	where brain Can Be an Effective card and
2120s	really what you consider is how many
2121s	battle cries and how many valuable
2123s	battle craze are in tier one so is Alley
2126s	Cat available is shell collector
2128s	available is uh swabi available those
2131s	units
2132s	um you know can still get you that brand
2134s	very early and potentially a set of
2136s	triples or a lot of econ to advance your
2139s	game plan in the mid game
2143s	a very nice couple of shops here for
2146s	sword with uh more battle crys yet to
2148s	come more battle cards and that econ
2151s	available oh yeah
2154s	uh it looks like our only two players
2156s	staying down on tier one are going to be
2157s	Vigo obviously wanting to get that bear
2159s	of hero power in and sword again wanting
2161s	to collect those battle cries onto your
2163s	one and it looks like our minion types
2165s	for this Lobby are going to be
2166s	Elementals murloc Pirates demons and
2169s	mechs so murlocs are indeed in and
2172s	that's gonna be what sword's thinking
2174s	about here
2176s	um pretty interesting interplay right
2178s	where you have the poison of mechs the
2180s	extreme stats that can come from demons
2182s	or Pirates and then the the Divine
2184s	shieldage from Mex as well so I think
2186s	quick adaptation gonna be a necessity
2188s	for all of our players here
2191s	yeah and a big thing to consider is when
2193s	Mex and murlocs are both in ball of
2196s	minions has access to Divine Shield
2197s	poison and that's something those
2198s	players are always considering because
2200s	like I
2201s	you know they have that foresight of
2203s	just like knowing what the game's going
2205s	to turn into like five turns before any
2207s	of us do and they know what those end
2209s	games are going to look like and they
2211s	just start playing into that immediately
2213s	not wasting any time not wasting any
2215s	resources
2217s	on their path and we see our first
2219s	player to go to tier three is zorgo on
2222s	the Gale Wing shaksi close behind on the
2225s	cookie goes for the demons but doesn't
2226s	hit the overseer that's always something
2228s	you're looking for
2231s	with the cookie overseer no looter just
2235s	nothing really to to make work here do
2237s	you I mean it's like two Minions that
2239s	need support of a minion on board and
2241s	then trickster is there any
2242s	consideration here for anything else
2247s	yeah I mean I think it's the trickster
2249s	here but it's gonna be the stats so
2254s	just taking the most that's on the
2255s	pirate not really worrying about the
2257s	upside in not worrying too much about
2259s	the direction
2261s	uh it is an interesting choice that
2264s	shaksy played I didn't see what zirgo
2265s	had on his opening board but playing
2269s	that unit means he doesn't have a battle
2270s	cry and also doesn't have
2273s	a target for that buff we do see the
2276s	quest selections here Sarah has a triple
2279s	lined up on the Varden which is actually
2281s	a filling so we have a double Varden
2283s	Lobby here
2284s	quite nice to get the combo of trigger
2286s	death rattles plus ritual dagger but I
2288s	don't think any real way to get that
2290s	moving very quickly right now so maybe
2292s	just the relatively cheap cost of play
2294s	Ellie's or demon there but wow in the
2296s	end Smoking Gun I guess it is the lobby
2299s	for it right
2301s	yeah and with this quick level and quick
2303s	triple I'm gonna take Sarah as my
2306s	bandwagon page oh oh yeah bandwagons I
2308s	almost forgot all right all right
2310s	I know I gotta be on on point this time
2313s	there's people counting on me uh it
2316s	doesn't hit the best triple off of it
2319s	but that discount of that tier four
2322s	level is a big deal especially on
2324s	vardens you're able to pick up pairs of
2327s	the highest tier unit and shut up and so
2329s	getting to four really quickly getting
2332s	some maybe premium pairs triples even
2335s	yeah could be a big deal
2338s	okay is shakshi picking up the Pirates
2340s	here to make this pretty bad start for
2342s	him a little better I'd be interest
2344s	interested to see what zorg picked up as
2346s	his uh
2347s	redrop off of oh well hopefully three
2350s	drop off the Yale wing and okay it
2355s	wasn't terrible I assume it was the uh
2357s	the tavern Tempest
2360s	or the diseases
2362s	yeah this thesis Elementor giving the
2364s	crackling Cyclone gonna freeze up I
2368s	would assume for the Tad uh potentially
2370s	opening up the ability to level next
2373s	turn selling through both of those teds
2376s	as an option
2379s	oh my goodness and it looks like sword
2383s	is taped in the triple already that
2385s	brand on the board
2388s	and it's gonna survive which means
2390s	soccer's gonna take a little bit of a
2392s	chunk of damage pretty early on turn
2394s	four taking seven from swords bran
2400s	hey Randall and Elise like you know a
2402s	couple of these nice Heroes that can get
2404s	you a little bit more value later on uh
2408s	but slow very low stats overall for what
2411s	you'd expect from the cost and thus
2413s	penguin San is
2415s	distance
2416s	in a very important Crossroads here this
2419s	has the potential to you know roll into
2421s	a gold monkey next turn hit that five
2423s	drop and then instantly start
2424s	stabilizing the game but without those
2426s	power Spike beasts as opposed to
2428s	stabilize on seven tier 5 as well I want
2432s	to say it's going to be tricky for him
2433s	to quickly stabilize her
2436s	yeah in I think actually what we might
2440s	see is uh because you do really want to
2443s	stabilize here you have a pretty strong
2445s	setup you have a lot of econ coming your
2447s	way especially with this render giving
2449s	an extra unit is a double buy and a hero
2452s	power if the shop isn't too shabby and
2455s	then waiting on that release till you
2457s	have a bit of a board presence
2458s	established
2462s	foreign
2468s	having gone four on four with the Elise
2472s	that's true getting to that high tier
2475s	and she actually did also go to Ford at
2479s	the end there oh
2481s	so a very bold play from sexy
2488s	it makes a minimal damage from egos
2491s	barov who is still on tier one something
2493s	we do not see very often is players
2496s	staying on one for a long time oh
2499s	Sarah's lined up that triple that's so
2502s	sick
2503s	foreign good about my bandwagon pick
2507s	like I said Varden is able to set up
2508s	these higher tier triples get some solid
2510s	Pairs and it looks like
2513s	Sarah may be considering going for a six
2516s	here
2519s	what's the big consideration here R6 is
2521s	considerably better than fives with
2523s	these minions
2525s	I think just because he has the out of
2528s	that golden overseer
2530s	he may be considering
2533s	going for a fell bet now we saw
2536s	yesterday that felbet's impact can be
2539s	very strong even when murlocs are in
2540s	because it's if you get it early enough
2542s	it's able to Tempo everyone out people
2544s	can't get their boards set up just
2546s	because you have such a strong spike in
2548s	power you don't need resources to scale
2551s	up your units you know it's not like
2553s	something like a theatar or calagos
2555s	where you're having to play units or
2557s	even like a brand where you had to find
2558s	those battlecrafts to cycle through
2560s	those stats will come onto your board no
2563s	need to expend any gold you're able to
2565s	use that gold to find those Tech pieces
2568s	to play around some of those units like
2571s	murlocs that you'll be facing later on
2572s	in the game book does have smoking oh
2575s	sorry uh Sarah does have Smoking Gun
2577s	though I believe uh as his quest that
2580s	ever dissuade you from going for demons
2582s	and instead trying to find the Divine
2584s	Shields of Max instead it could be and
2588s	that triple uh depending on what he hits
2590s	will probably be the determining Factor
2593s	regardless of which direction that
2595s	Sarah's gonna choose
2598s	you know if you hit something like an
2600s	Omega Buster that is a very strong out
2604s	so here we will see this early early
2606s	sixth drop on turn seven
2610s	foreign
2614s	and those are not the directional cards
2616s	you want to see grease spot with no
2618s	Divine shields on board zap not
2621s	providing Direction at all Jamie
2623s	providing some econ and a little bit of
2627s	Smoking Gun synergy
2630s	I imagine that will be the line
2632s	especially because you can roll into
2633s	something like a double little rag a
2635s	double know me with Varden if you do
2637s	stay on five
2639s	but it is
2641s	Health though right would you ever
2643s	consider taking grease but because you
2644s	can lose a couple fights and you have
2646s	Smoking Gun to synergize with the
2648s	hopefully that lots of divine Shield
2650s	Minions that you're going to be finding
2651s	soon anyway
2654s	yeah and that's I'm sure that's what
2656s	Sarah's considering right here he's you
2658s	know taking some time on this decision
2660s	it is a pivotal moment in the game for
2663s	him and it like you said we're smoking
2667s	gun that in that direction is good but
2669s	it does rely on you hitting something
2671s	and what we see a lot of times is these
2674s	players don't want to play into lines
2677s	that force them to go a certain
2679s	direction
2680s	since
2682s	speaking of completing Questlove
2684s	Penguins on gonna complete that Quest
2686s	very early and that's going to be for
2688s	xeris so we might see some wackiness
2691s	going on and he has a theater
2693s	uh very early as well so Penguins sound
2696s	in a very strong spot with that very
2698s	early four on four line with the leaves
2700s	hitting that Rendell triple and just
2703s	having a ton of gold to work with
2705s	and we'll see Mach 7 key oh no
2710s	I guess it couldn't it couldn't proc so
2712s	it's fine yeah I I panic because it's
2715s	just a instinctual reaction for me
2718s	anytime you see that hogger get hit with
2721s	that Tony down he's an unfortunate but
2724s	we can see some
2726s	very early 8pm Shenanigans for
2730s	next seven key not gonna have a lot of
2733s	Health to work with gonna need to win
2735s	every combat from here on that one that
2737s	is tough yeah that was a horrible 50 50
2739s	at the end if you'd hit the strong arm
2740s	he'd still be above the the break point
2742s	of 15 Health just about uh I think
2745s	instead well actually you know I I guess
2747s	it would actually have been exactly 50 .
2749s	but maybe it would have been more likely
2751s	to survive uh one more because like you
2753s	say he needs a little bit more breathing
2754s	room with no way to goldenify the hogar
2757s	quite yet a little bit more time to get
2760s	rolling uh as does Vigo you know he's
2763s	done a decent job of keeping up so far
2765s	but this board
2767s	a little bit more time it needs that
2769s	recycling Wraith in order to start
2771s	popping up with these Elementals because
2773s	right now
2774s	I have the suspicion that this scaling
2776s	is just a tad too slow it's it's so
2779s	borderline
2781s	yeah it does brought into a major Domo
2785s	if he wants to pick up a few extra stats
2787s	zorgo actually has a skin Stone on the
2790s	gallery and that is a big big deal
2792s	especially with those Primo fins so I've
2794s	just been able to build up a very strong
2796s	Relic word and unfortunately for Max 7
2799s	key this early on that might be tough to
2802s	deal with
2804s	it's close it's not actually that
2808s	wrong though right now zorgo is here I
2810s	guess that is a 21 Health Primal fin
2812s	scale which is tough to deal with
2814s	and these do happen and we just saw how
2817s	weak Max 7 keeps what is and the thing
2819s	is is he's out to win this game is
2822s	playing for that Tony avenge which means
2825s	he's usually playing weaker units on
2827s	board and unfortunately with the Divine
2829s	shields on the macros oh
2832s	this is really likely to uh huh super
2838s	well zorgo getting some nice set Buffs
2840s	on the macros
2843s	and yeah that will be at least look for
2846s	Max seven keys so our
2849s	former winner gonna be starting out the
2851s	finals on the back foot as they take a
2854s	solo eighth
2856s	yeah very tough first game for Max 7 key
2859s	it's just the uh the fear of these
2861s	scaling comps it very often is not quite
2863s	quick enough to go for where is Sarah
2865s	here I mean you'll pick one oh okay
2867s	absolutely on fire because he is looking
2869s	super strong here now
2876s	33 chance to copy that hogger but we'll
2879s	still take it
2881s	and it's golden anyway right and
2883s	some module available if he wants to
2887s	Shield the ball of minions
2889s	oh he's gonna guarantee it
2891s	I like this fight a lot
2894s	okay okay
2897s	um so he's gonna buy this battle master
2899s	and then freeze the shot
2903s	oh my God this is so sick this is gonna
2905s	be a mega APM test for Sarah
2909s	and you see him getting ready just
2911s	together he knows what's in store he
2914s	just needs to survive here and he'll be
2918s	good to go and I'm feeling good about
2919s	that bandwagon pick
2922s	a man out here role-playing as Cyril he
2925s	thinks he's playing Starcraft warming up
2927s	his hands getting ready for the next
2928s	game I love it
2933s	we see penguin Sun adding a shield
2935s	playing into that theater as a shack see
2938s	here having left up a cyclone a pip and
2942s	a mechano tank utilizing
2945s	the Elise and the brand to get some
2948s	extra value out of those neutrals
2951s	it's the one last quote unquote weak
2954s	turn here for Sarah as well before
2956s	that's really popping off but I
2963s	clear off a bit of the damage here
2966s	it's actually taking almost an ideal
2969s	fight they're only taking the tank is
2971s	damage and again shaxi's board you're
2973s	pretty happy with that outcome still at
2975s	20 able to take a hit and you know
2977s	what's coming
2979s	gets the copy no other five drops fun
2981s	and he is infinite now yes that salty
2984s	litter Jeff before even playing the
2986s	hogger and from here on out it's just
2989s	full on fire keeping finds enough
2992s	another pirate in the shot man this is
2995s	scaling I mean he even has the oh the
2997s	fall of minions is so good it's gonna
3000s	help him
3002s	stable is so fast here
3004s	extra stats on the board
3007s	called it over so you're really paying
3009s	off fine Gambler oh my goodness this is
3012s	insane yes you pick up as well yet just
3015s	prepare for when that becomes necessary
3016s	mounted fantastic as well it's really
3018s	just Peggy oh my God
3021s	more salty leaders coming doesn't have
3024s	any peggies yet but gonna be more than
3026s	happy to play the salties in their place
3028s	for the moment yeah that's plenty of
3031s	scaling for What Turn ten
3036s	foreign
3041s	stats when the ball of minions is sold
3044s	fight or more Hoggers more volume
3047s	minions
3048s	nothing's gonna stop him more gamblers
3051s	Sarah can't miss here keeping it the uh
3056s	tunnel blaster on board just to again
3059s	play around with those lost conditions
3060s	and there's the double Peggy
3063s	finally getting out of that overseer
3065s	wanting to commit all the Pirates to
3068s	board
3070s	and now just continuing to cycle this
3073s	tunnel Blaster is huge on its own now
3076s	more oh my goodness
3079s	what a turn
3083s	the Varden also does play a little bit
3085s	of a hindrance here with that hero power
3087s	causing a slight delay but I mean
3090s	Sarah's got a 60-52 on board
3094s	the animations wow then Sarah's hands
3110s	if he didn't have enough already I think
3112s	we're going on like 30 seconds past
3114s	there's the truth the combats have
3116s	finished the combats have already
3118s	finished the other players
3121s	he hasn't even started what oh my God
3126s	what a beautiful and levels yeah he ends
3129s	on zero gold oh what an amazing turn
3134s	there for Sarah
3142s	on the other side but at 15 oh yeah like
3148s	zanyang was dead before Sarah even drew
3151s	his sword that's how cool this guy is
3155s	killing him back in style
3159s	[Music]
3162s	oh so zanya goes down and it looks like
3164s	Vigo
3166s	also hit the dust on the bear of wasn't
3169s	quite able to get it going to push us in
3171s	to a top five situation
3175s	yeah everyone's still in at this point
3178s	feeling pretty good you'd have to admit
3180s	uh a top five at the very least it keeps
3183s	you in the game it's not the kind of
3185s	situation where you have to hit back to
3186s	back first or anything like that already
3188s	everyone's still looking very good at
3190s	this point
3192s	yeah getting a solid finish here to
3194s	start just puts you in such a
3196s	comfortable position going forward where
3198s	you don't have the same pressure of
3201s	having the make up so many points at the
3203s	end
3205s	there's the baron picked up and the
3207s	golden selfless at the end it's gonna be
3209s	a zorgo that gets the ghost having
3211s	taunted both of these holy mackerels and
3213s	wow what an actual insane come from
3216s	zorgo I don't know if you saw it there
3218s	but double walking for is gonna buff up
3220s	those macros a lot along with that scree
3222s	spot and that infinite ping-pong of
3226s	those macros being a possibility
3230s	give us some potential despite being at
3232s	three Health he has potential against
3233s	anyone but he's going to be very worried
3234s	about these players that are leading
3236s	with Leroy because we see it you can
3239s	just instantly take out a Divine Shield
3241s	taunt hey there they just did that but
3244s	thank you
3245s	that's all possible it looks like
3247s	Penguin sign
3249s	gonna get the best of shaksi here uh
3252s	both of them playing Menagerie boards
3254s	[Music]
3256s	but will they be able to keep up with
3258s	Sarah is the question
3261s	it doesn't feel like it currently we're
3263s	gonna need to see some transition into a
3265s	heck of a lot of poison some other text
3267s	to be able to fight back against the
3269s	Divine Shields that Sarah obviously has
3271s	as well but a gold and selfless for
3273s	penguins and definitely the kind of
3275s	thing we need to see him hitting uh if
3277s	he wants to be able to fight back
3279s	picks up yeah and maximizing those Buffs
3282s	with that golden theater and here's our
3285s	baros blessings so it's gonna be
3287s	Penguins on versus zorgo and wow this is
3289s	a tough one oh I hate predicting
3292s	mackerel ones they're always so hard I
3294s	always underestimate them but then I
3295s	know that so I end up overestimating
3297s	them to to compensate
3302s	yeah penguin sun does have some nice
3305s	texts
3306s	as the golden selfless delivery and that
3309s	very big foe Reaper
3313s	for you
3321s	all right it seems for Pocky and I at
3323s	least we're in agreeance on this one uh
3326s	with penguin San being slightly in the
3328s	lead which uh I mean you're kind of
3331s	hoping to be wrong here because you
3332s	guessed in the puzzle box that I get at
3334s	least one of these wrongs so I'm sure
3335s	you'd be happy to tank one uh just to
3338s	have me it's the Hedge bet you know if
3341s	you win and if you don't well I got a
3343s	little something going for me
3345s	and you have to be perfect so you know I
3348s	only need one it's okay we can have you
3350s	with the rest of them but I'm thinking
3352s	you're right on this one uh penguins
3354s	that just has so much to try and deal
3355s	with this zorgo is trying to play around
3357s	uh potential tunnel Blaster tanks the
3360s	Leroy taunting up that reflective and
3363s	even leading with the mecca to try and
3364s	maximize value but the Leroy the wind
3367s	Fury that cleave it feels like it's
3370s	gonna be too much but we will see for
3372s	sure now and oh faster set there as the
3377s	first macro immediately gets sniped by
3380s	that Leroy that's a little better
3383s	getting a few Shields but it is unlikely
3387s	to be enough please ain't going down to
3389s	that massive foe rebirth in penguin sun
3393s	takes care of business the sins don't
3395s	Gale with
3397s	getting a fourth maybe a tie with third
3401s	and indeed taxi does go down to Sarah's
3406s	AP on pirate board and is gonna come
3407s	down to Golden theater versus Sarah's
3411s	APM Pirates
3414s	has a lot of texts
3416s	it does yeah but I mean I just want to
3418s	quickly while we're away from the fight
3419s	touching how interesting it is that
3420s	again in this game murlocs have just not
3424s	really fell up to scratch like we saw
3426s	sword I think hitting golden brown at
3429s	the end there in the last couple of
3430s	turns zorg as he said with sinstone a
3433s	bunch of Primal fin Scouts a bunch of
3435s	poisons as well but when uh mechs are in
3438s	the lobby or even like hitting Divine
3439s	shields on Pirates they're just not
3441s	standing up to it
3443s	yeah and it looks like penguin sun is
3446s	trying to decide if some extra stats are
3449s	worth it here has the poison available
3452s	for that ball of Minions on the board
3454s	already has that Shield like I said in
3456s	any Mech murloc Lobby that is a
3458s	consideration
3460s	and then surely gonna end on the manted
3462s	queen knowing that so many stats are
3464s	incoming
3469s	and I wonder if okay I was gonna say
3471s	maybe he would have considered selling
3473s	the golden Teeter oh he is wow
3476s	so he's gonna oh he's gonna poison the
3480s	smaller murloc here
3483s	assuming that the ball will just have to
3485s	be big enough for him to have a chance
3488s	I mean that's a pretty big assumption to
3490s	make if you if you could have seen even
3492s	a few seconds of what Sarah has done
3494s	which by the way we have not been seeing
3496s	because he's so desynced he's spending
3498s	all the time that other players are
3499s	fighting doing his turns and then on
3501s	that well uh he's fighting everyone else
3503s	is doing their next turn so let's just
3505s	see what he ended up with here at the
3507s	end of all of that nonsense because oh
3509s	my goodness these are some big minions
3514s	the tunnel Blaster but that golden
3516s	bearing is enough to take out that
3518s	smaller poison the selfless is so buffed
3520s	up that the meeting Queen goes down and
3523s	now the stats are just gonna be
3525s	overwhelming
3528s	for Sarah yeah not quite lethal though
3532s	thankfully for for Sarah oh it's
3535s	actually in time
3538s	the health on the salty little
3541s	okay this is interesting now that this
3543s	is interesting I mean Penguins actually
3545s	has a bearing in hand knows that there's
3549s	that tunnel Blaster now could reposition
3552s	but this is where things get tough right
3554s	because for penguin said yes that was
3555s	close but it's not a fact of like all
3558s	his minions have poisonous right so it
3560s	doesn't matter how much uh penguin sand
3562s	scales it did come down to big number of
3564s	us big number at the end and how does
3566s	Penguin Sound really improve on this
3567s	what can he hit to make his odds any
3569s	better well he has to think here if he
3572s	wants to use that Hero part the hero
3573s	power at five means he will have a
3577s	chance to discover a minted Queen
3579s	oh sells the ball of minions as a
3583s	last-ditch effort but unfortunately it
3585s	goes on to the Leroy one of the
3587s	minions you definitely didn't want it to
3589s	hit
3591s	now considering the taunt to try and get
3593s	that minted out of range
3595s	gonna be considering ending on the Bear
3598s	in here it looks like but this is such a
3602s	tough situation and the difficulty here
3605s	is that Sarah's at 20 and so can survive
3609s	but it isn't guaranteed and actually oh
3611s	I like this a lot so uh contrary to what
3614s	I said
3616s	uses the taunt on the poison murloc
3619s	which isn't what you typically see at
3621s	all to just get it out of range of the
3623s	Blaster and hoping that the manted queen
3626s	gets Shield or stats to get it out of
3630s	the tunnel Blaster range
3632s	I mean having said that I'm not really
3633s	sure how much bigger uh Sarah can get
3636s	because we just have confirmation he's
3637s	only like just leaving the previous
3639s	fight uh weirdly enough but it looks
3641s	like he's done enough there is that is a
3642s	300 300 now on the salty looter which it
3647s	have to imagine again is going to be big
3649s	enough to take this one down yeah and it
3651s	was close I mean maybe if the uh Baron
3655s	was able to get hit with that um
3658s	wind sharing before the selfless went
3660s	off but it's not gonna be enough so
3663s	Sarah takes it and I've got one of my
3666s	three bandwagons down I'm new to trust
3669s	you man I knew you were good of this
3671s	that's why I picked you to uh to do it
3672s	like you said we're uh hedging our bets
3675s	a little bit here even though I know
3676s	you're gonna get every one of your
3677s	bandwagon picks correct at least I can
3679s	pick up a little bit of the differential
3681s	it's gonna start to occur between us uh
3683s	as the day goes on but a huge
3685s	congratulations to Sarah right it was uh
3688s	at the end there you know just a pure
3690s	APM test not really much thinking going
3691s	on but those mid games turns where he
3693s	manipulated that Varden hero power to
3695s	give him the extra uh hogars were just
3698s	so inspired
3699s	yeah almost guaranteeing that infinite
3703s	set up and then once he hit it was Off
3704s	to the Races he made sure to keep the
3707s	tunnel Blaster down for just a little
3709s	while to guarantee that he wasn't gonna
3711s	lose too much health in any given fight
3713s	you know don't let any Shields or poison
3715s	Shenanigans you know take you off your
3718s	your toes and uh was able to get the win
3721s	there
3724s	penguin Sun Also with a very good start
3726s	though
3727s	um you know taking full advantage of the
3730s	Elise going very early going four on
3734s	four going to five early and hitting
3736s	some early six drops finding theater
3738s	making the golden theater working almost
3740s	getting there I mean literally nine
3743s	Health left on a salty looter had Tex
3745s	ready didn't quite hit on his ball of
3749s	minions Gambit itself but if that hit
3751s	the cleave we might have seen a
3753s	different result which speaks to how
3756s	good of a game that was for penguin sun
3757s	too
3758s	and I know we didn't get to see that
3760s	much from Max 7q but I just think it's
3762s	very interesting that Varden finished
3764s	first and last in this Lobby it's
3768s	literally the first and eight spot uh
3770s	with Finley being able to duplicate it
3772s	uh do you think there was anything that
3774s	Max uh seven key did wrong to lead to
3777s	such a poor result or the cards just not
3779s	falling in his lap in the right way
3781s	not necessarily it can be a very Hit or
3785s	Miss hero as we see it's so Reliant and
3788s	hitting those triples hitting solid
3791s	units right the difference in what they
3793s	were copying was a big difference Sarah
3795s	hit overseers those are very strong
3797s	Tempo Minions that help you stabilize in
3800s	that mid game and not take that lethal
3803s	damage or even that chip damage early on
3805s	to put you underneath cap that you had
3807s	to play a different way and because of
3808s	that was able to stabilize set up the
3811s	board that he wanted and take the first
3812s	place as we see here on the standings
3816s	and these uh standings looking very
3819s	interesting I'm keeping an eye on my
3821s	fantasy team as you at home should as
3824s	well using the tab and Buddy extension
3826s	uh to pick who you think is gonna well
3828s	this uh well today in the final day of
3831s	action here at Lobby Legends winter Vale
3833s	because both Penguin Sound and shaksi
3835s	for me off to a very strong start but
3838s	our boy soared with an ambitious game
3840s	again hitting that golden brand but
3842s	unable to fight back against that
3844s	extreme burst of tempo that came from
3846s	Sarah and the Pirates
3851s	yeah and I'm excited to see what we see
3855s	in the next game that Mech and murloc
3858s	set up having Pirates win isn't always
3861s	the case right those are kind of the two
3864s	tribes that you see
3865s	disincentivize
3868s	stat builds but here
3871s	Sarah just ran away with it
3874s	I think we will still see you know
3877s	players not necessarily playing directly
3880s	into those stats but giving themselves
3882s	the opportunity to have more and more of
3884s	that utility like we saw with penguin's
3887s	son's Theater which almost was still
3889s	able to beat it like I can't stress that
3891s	enough I mean but you see someone all
3893s	those speeding APM Pirates I mean that's
3895s	that's something to behold
3897s	it truly is and we'll see what else the
3899s	day holds for us as we carry on only one
3902s	game down plenty more left
3905s	um as we see whether Sarah can
3907s	capitalize on his victory in game one
3909s	after this short break

4111s	welcome back everyone to Lobby Legends
4113s	winter Veil game two coming up very
4116s	shortly and as we said Sarah in Prime
4120s	per pole position right now with a win
4123s	in the first game of the day and Max
4127s	semiki down at zero points so uh I guess
4130s	we're going to start to see some spicier
4133s	plays from Max 7 key given that you know
4135s	admittedly he did go for a pretty All or
4137s	Nothing hero as you said Ian Varden and
4140s	uh it's kind of looking like he's going
4141s	to be forced into those strategies again
4143s	and again now as zero points after game
4145s	one already things start to look scary
4148s	yeah but has time I mean it's one of
4151s	those situations where that tournament
4153s	meta can really adjust things right if
4155s	we have things flipping the script and
4157s	everyone's even then we have a blank
4159s	slate but everyone's a little bit closer
4161s	to that check threshold meanwhile you
4165s	know there's a lot of time sometimes it
4167s	takes players a long time right we might
4169s	see Sarah not have a great game maybe
4171s	they get a poor hero in unideal quest or
4176s	just you know a little bit of unlucky
4178s	situations or combats and they might not
4182s	be putting the lobby into check too soon
4184s	and so you had to consider that and the
4186s	players certainly are right they have to
4188s	consider so many different aspects in
4190s	the check format that you'll see it
4192s	impacting their gameplay and we have to
4195s	make sure that when we're watching them
4196s	that we're thinking about that too why
4198s	are they making those plays and that's
4200s	why I love the chart format and why I
4202s	love you know keeping tabs on Lobby
4204s	Legends
4206s	well no uh dragons to be heard of thus
4210s	far in our players winning comps uh but
4213s	I guess uh as this was one of the uh the
4215s	puzzle box questions that we had an eye
4218s	out for if there were to be a dragon in
4221s	a winning player's board at the uh the
4223s	start of the turn as was the condition
4225s	how do you envisage that uh manifesting
4230s	well obviously some of the obvious
4232s	choices are you know any dragon right
4235s	you can have a calculus board with
4237s	nadina it's still very strong
4240s	and you know in the red situation if you
4242s	can get it up early enough it can do
4244s	well it's very difficult but possible
4247s	there's bronze Warden with the atar or
4250s	after Medias like you said as a tech
4252s	but the one that I'm really looking out
4254s	for is
4257s	uh
4259s	ball of minions maybe
4261s	it counts I think I actually know but
4266s	well we'll have to see we'll see if it
4268s	happens but I I mean it's technically a
4271s	dragon I'm just saying nadina Shields it
4273s	so we'll see and oh is Sarah gonna
4277s	repeat on the Pirates picking up patches
4280s	he's
4281s	I don't know if he's happy with that or
4283s	not
4285s	I mean it worked out so fantastically
4287s	last time let's uh give it another go
4289s	murlocs are in once again though so
4291s	poison ready to go to counteract that as
4294s	we actually have a very similar
4297s	um distribution in terms of the minions
4299s	again this time just Elementals are out
4301s	this time
4303s	dead
4305s	indeed and yeah so having relaxed in
4308s	this time we do you see Max 7ki trying
4311s	to raid the ship on flergal
4314s	as well as a few other interesting hero
4317s	choices that we don't see as often we
4319s	have zanyang an ambassador Phelan with
4322s	the early discoveries and has an option
4323s	for his six drops between Eliza the
4325s	walking Fort and tea Master Theater all
4329s	viable units but is gonna take the
4331s	theater with that ball of minions
4334s	yeah I think I like it and speaking of
4336s	bottle of minions I just got
4338s	confirmation from the team it is gonna
4340s	count as a dragon
4343s	I don't care what they say I'm going to
4346s	the the developers directly I'm going to
4349s	the Supreme Court I'm going to take this
4351s	to as as far as it needs to go that does
4354s	not count
4355s	I don't know I'm just saying I I had it
4358s	up my sleeve as a thought you know I'm
4360s	I'm fighting hard for these internet
4362s	points so
4364s	we'll see if it pays off
4368s	uh oh Max 7q with an interesting start
4371s	as well double shell collector available
4373s	but did just leveling isn't going to
4376s	freeze for the pair in the extra econ
4379s	I'm hoping to hit something like honcho
4381s	which we kind of saw it not work out but
4385s	it has the ability to
4387s	able to cycle a ton of Miralax with
4390s	flurgal if you do get the proper setup
4394s	interesting phrase here as well from uh
4396s	from sword what's going on here
4398s	that is an interesting one and I
4402s	am not sure what he's gonna value more
4405s	I'm going to assume it's between oh you
4409s	know what it is I think it's the swabbie
4410s	and he's going to want to level on six
4413s	gold to tier three and start getting
4416s	early oh but this might change things
4418s	the patient's Scout presenting itself
4421s	that's juicy if you can take that on
4423s	turn three
4426s	you can get a very early six drop and
4429s	again I mean Direction has been the name
4431s	of the game this tournament so far and
4433s	patience count one of those minions
4434s	while you do sacrifice some tempo
4438s	yeah bypassing the freeze entirely after
4441s	being presented with the patient Scout
4443s	so having that much gravity was
4446s	considering that swabby uh as we see him
4449s	hover it for a little bit but
4451s	I'm gonna stick with the patient Scout
4453s	and play a more standard curve here
4456s	interestingly enough no players going
4459s	for three on three and so are obviously
4461s	still on uh one following the reform
4464s	curve uh with the Adora but are there
4467s	any uh Heroes that you that you would
4469s	ever consider going three on three here
4471s	with this uh well with any of these
4475s	the only hero that really would consider
4478s	it is kale toss maybe the patches most
4482s	of the others are pretty disincentivized
4485s	and that's the big difference that we
4486s	see here last game we saw a lot of
4488s	Heroes that do just inherently want to
4490s	go for it and we saw it more frequently
4492s	as when more players do go three and
4495s	three you're more confident or
4496s	comfortable leveling with them saying
4498s	hey we're both going up let's do it
4500s	together but here is oh it's enough for
4503s	patient Scout and sword
4506s	and
4508s	the assads there's a choice between
4511s	kidnap sack for playing four Pirates of
4513s	Miralax victim Specter for losing or
4514s	tying two combats which is very notified
4516s	keep an eye on that one or the Smoking
4518s	Gun for add 16 cards of the hand
4521s	I think it's just gotta be the kidnap
4523s	sack right he's got two Pirates ready to
4525s	go right now potentially
4527s	revealing gamer so it's gonna get in
4529s	super early
4532s	this turn that's it it's completed my
4536s	goodness oh that's disgusting and look
4538s	at the gold look at this board okay so
4540s	for my bandwagon pick I'm gonna go ahead
4543s	after seeing that start kidnap SEC
4547s	extraordinarily early already getting a
4549s	free unit
4552s	right so this is what you're supposed to
4554s	do you're supposed to use the evidence
4555s	from the games to back up your guess
4558s	interesting a bold strategy
4565s	zanyang has gone to three here I'm gonna
4569s	be feeling the first player to do so
4574s	and I'm curious if this is just a setup
4577s	to open up leveling next turn as well
4582s	makes a lot of sense
4584s	able to get that ball of Minions on the
4586s	board early and just access to those
4589s	tier 4 units before anyone else
4594s	sword also did make his way up to Cavern
4597s	tier three
4599s	deciding to sell that Gambler and use
4602s	that kidnap type to maintain the board
4604s	strength
4621s	with the Wind
4623s	um on the kale test I hear that we don't
4625s	see too often
4629s	oh will August okay technically be able
4632s	to pick up a gambler but it is a little
4634s	bit weird so if you don't remember
4635s	because we haven't seen it very often
4637s	kyotos did get changed to give players a
4640s	little bit more control on where that
4641s	buff lands now instead of
4645s	when you buy the minion it's when you
4647s	play the Minion so we see penguin Sun
4649s	taking the angler first to get that buff
4651s	and then cycling The Gambler to progress
4654s	that hero power
4655s	very smart
4657s	the taunt also going to be very valuable
4659s	in guaranteeing that this trickster dies
4661s	in 11 Health on the board this early
4663s	it's gonna be a nice Tempo pickup
4666s	meanwhile we see it
4668s	sword and zanyang have both gone to tier
4670s	4 already on giving access to that ball
4672s	Shack see making the murlocs work has a
4675s	pair it doesn't have a hero power Target
4677s	yet
4678s	but the honchos in the swamp Street are
4680s	really gonna enjoy
4683s	the murloc's getting cycled yeah
4686s	freezing as well for you know an
4688s	admittedly very powerful uh murloc War
4690s	leader uh but I mean how often do we see
4693s	this right where he was following the
4695s	standard curve here up until turn five
4696s	but they're not leveling here and just
4698s	prioritizing some immediate Tempo uh do
4701s	you think this is playing like purely
4703s	for having had a decent uh game last
4706s	game trying to get another third or
4708s	fourth or could this still feed into a
4710s	winning strategy
4712s	so I think what we might see is actually
4715s	picking up two units next turn one being
4719s	that world leader the other being
4721s	potentially that scallywag to set up
4722s	another pair oh we also are not what is
4726s	his quest
4728s	because that might also be the most
4731s	impactful decision for him
4733s	that's Puzzle pok's Quest so is that uh
4736s	cooked books is that what that means oh
4739s	oh so that completely changes how I feel
4743s	my guess is he's definitely playing into
4747s	cooked book
4749s	and it's trying to proc that Quest as
4752s	quick as possible and then you don't
4754s	really need to level he does still have
4756s	that Hero part in the bank as Reno but
4760s	yeah we'll keep an eye it does oh he did
4762s	find a triple off of the yeah I assume
4766s	into a four here
4772s	yeah I mean one of the things to
4773s	consider yeah the taunt from stoneborn
4775s	strong
4780s	but I mean we have to be leaning towards
4782s	meccano tank right like probably not
4785s	goldening I want to say when you're so
4787s	heavily reliant on finding a brand uh
4790s	but it's still tempting for some
4791s	immediately 25 minutes okay so he is
4794s	gonna go for the scally and I wouldn't
4797s	hate hero powering it here one of the
4799s	situations that you see in this case is
4803s	playing strong in this early game
4806s	maintaining that Health total because
4810s	once you have cooked book up and going
4812s	it is extraordinarily strong and so just
4816s	putting yourself in a position where you
4818s	have a win condition already set via
4820s	your quest you don't really need to rely
4822s	on your hero power to be that wound
4824s	condition
4827s	but checks is going to get a ton of
4829s	value from this mecano tank there's a
4831s	ton of summons on board that's going to
4833s	help practice but super quickly here as
4835s	the minions are certainly dying
4839s	it's always a little too effective here
4840s	as a lot of his minions end up not dying
4843s	there but I imagine you'd happily
4844s	sacrifice that to take the win zorgo the
4847s	first player to Fall Into the Danger
4850s	Zone down at just 15 Health but this
4853s	could be the turnaround for him offered
4855s	a bran which
4858s	is like the pick here but it is also a
4861s	2-4 when you're at 15 health
4864s	yeah luckily there is a mug in the shop
4866s	that might be able to stem the bleeding
4868s	a little bit
4870s	uh obviously as effective as its older
4873s	sibling Menagerie jug with that brand on
4877s	board
4877s	but yeah zorko definitely going to need
4880s	to stabilize here quickly
4882s	oh and sort of making good use
4885s	oh that kidnap sack taking an early Tony
4890s	potentially looking to Golden one of
4892s	these rip spots yes sir
4897s	um we're just wanting to play into the
4900s	potential of hogger in the future
4905s	oh and might Instead try to go to this
4909s	Gambler for the extra gold
4911s	the mechano tank not too strong at this
4913s	point
4914s	also with the change that you Serge semi
4917s	recently you can now play a full board
4919s	and just use the hero power to get a
4921s	unit to hand and that could be a hogger
4923s	for sword he doesn't need to gamble and
4926s	play an open unit on the board which
4928s	means
4930s	okay
4931s	The Gambler is possible but yeah he's
4934s	just gonna hear a power and play the
4935s	double rip sorrow
4938s	interestingly enough as well I believe
4939s	zorgo just completed his quest and he
4941s	does have blood goblet if I'm not
4943s	mistaken uh which being the the lowest
4946s	Health player in the game is going to
4947s	offer him some uh some of that much
4949s	needed stabilization that we were just
4951s	talking about to stem that bleeding
4953s	yeah we see how quickly that Papa has
4957s	gotten to 33 attack with that Divine
4960s	Shield also added a poison roller to try
4963s	and stay alive here
4965s	it's gonna be close though there Papa
4968s	only the sixth out in that riffside does
4970s	get golden by the Tony
4972s	it'll be a slight win for sword but yeah
4976s	the big thing for zorgas he is a lie
4979s	foreign
4991s	minion triple oh my Lord oh and another
4995s	toxin insane setup there are Mexican
4998s	again so he can
5001s	Shield this ball of minions
5003s	theater Eliza
5006s	Omega Buster takes the Eliza
5012s	I'm curious oh that Sears very tempting
5016s	and it's gonna be a triple cell for it
5018s	foreign
5026s	it is looking very strong yeah but like
5028s	we've seen players get to this situation
5030s	quite a few times actually so far over
5032s	the weekend where they have three or
5034s	four poisoned murlocs but everything is
5037s	very low Health uh do you think that's
5038s	going to be enough for him to stabilize
5040s	in this lobby with just a small
5042s	poisonous minions I do think so because
5045s	he will be able to either triple that
5049s	Primal fin so that he has that toxin on
5051s	board with distincter snacks and he
5053s	still has damage cap available so he can
5055s	take a potential loss here to Max having
5057s	keys flurgo who is cycling stuff now it
5060s	doesn't have that brand just yet will
5063s	shield that follow minions in throwing
5066s	minutes down on boarding X7 key has
5069s	another hidden body as his quest
5074s	foreign
5085s	but we do know that
5088s	getting those doubled minions from the
5091s	Primal fin
5093s	will result in him spiking
5096s	after this turn but the question is how
5098s	much damage is he going to take and it's
5099s	gonna be enough to put them within range
5103s	of one hit for sure yeah he has no more
5105s	taking 14 at five health and zorgo does
5109s	go down unfortunately the blood goblet
5111s	not enough
5113s	so the Eudora is the first to get
5117s	lethaled solo eighth and Chachi I think
5122s	we might see that cooked book win here
5123s	for me
5124s	I think we might this is looking very
5127s	spicy all right obviously Reno we would
5129s	assume to hit the hero power on the hoga
5132s	and now we just take off bran as well
5134s	offering him so many hits to keep the
5137s	economy rolly
5139s	oh oh and lorinda's gonna do this to us
5142s	now if she actually gets mashed up
5144s	against the Vigo we see how hard sex is
5148s	gonna fight to uh scale this turn
5151s	Vigo with some six straps in hand
5156s	oh wait this is actually hurt the hero
5159s	power I thought this was
5162s	taxi but yeah oh that's another poison
5164s	though that's really nicely Poison's
5167s	really tough
5176s	I promise I started typing before I saw
5179s	you I saw that was just coffee
5182s	yeah we have both gone for sexiest sexy
5185s	just I mean at this point he can replace
5187s	his whole board look how much scaling
5189s	he's already gotten under these units
5190s	Health added onto the hogger the Peggy
5193s	the salty litter it just doesn't stop he
5195s	continues
5196s	gonna end on
5199s	oh maybe he can get the tunnel blaster
5201s	in
5203s	to take out any potential Divine Shields
5205s	and wow look at that board yeah I'm
5206s	feeling confident in our pick and you're
5209s	well on your way to a perfect Barrel's
5211s	blessing if this fight
5213s	uh does kill favorably although the
5217s	first hits actually like I said
5219s	sometimes it comes down to RNG and that
5221s	mantis is still alive the lavaler could
5222s	doing a lot the poison goes in
5228s	[Laughter]
5231s	like I said I mean I was with you on
5234s	this prediction but oh no she's actually
5236s	taking a small loss despite an insane
5239s	board yeah I mean our reaction you know
5241s	don't get it wrong this is not a
5243s	disaster for shaksi he's still well on
5245s	his way to winning his lobby but for me
5247s	absolute disaster because uh Pocky
5250s	predicted that I would get one wrong and
5252s	uh much to my shame it's happened again
5254s	twice in a weekend
5260s	is still at 40 health and we know
5263s	zhangyang is very strong with those
5265s	murlocs
5266s	the Snicker snack brand Primal fin setup
5270s	it is gonna sort of
5273s	be a bit of a counter to this very big
5276s	uh trickster that's been buffed up by
5279s	devil in the details
5281s	penguin's not using that along with the
5284s	atissa and glow scales
5287s	you sort of pull together it's a
5290s	semblance of a board
5292s	has an angler in shop as well as a
5295s	spellcraft in hand to add taunt to that
5299s	trickster using the Mind muck first just
5301s	to maximize stats and we'll end on the
5303s	angler
5306s	hoping that it's enough sword on the
5308s	other hand
5309s	with that early kidnap sack does have a
5312s	thistle with double or gozoa so a lot of
5314s	smaller crafts in hand you see an
5315s	overwhelming amount almost a critter
5318s	Mangler as well I'll add to those Buffs
5322s	up against
5324s	zarga's ghost we'll have a ton of
5327s	scaling here utilizing that hero power
5330s	to just maximize his econ
5333s	and wow
5336s	this reminds me of yesterday when we saw
5339s	patches just taking a little bit too
5341s	long to hit auger with golden Hammer in
5343s	on on board
5345s	but we just know shaxxy has the one on
5347s	board already and it's going to be tough
5349s	for Sarah to uh compete
5353s	this turned mesh up against the cartoon
5355s	Vigo able to beat chassis last time this
5359s	turn will see if he can beat Sarah's
5361s	pirate board
5362s	not looking great boys oh in the big
5366s	salty leader goes into the poison the
5369s	lava lurker
5371s	the ball of minions remain
5380s	lethal here just gonna go down to a very
5384s	low Health total three
5387s	be exact in zanyang has that in a few
5390s	sets but not as many as you would think
5393s	having to sell out of that brand early
5395s	to survive being down at five health and
5398s	that's what I was talking about that
5399s	Health total makes a big difference in
5401s	these mid and late game fights where you
5403s	kind of have to alter your place
5405s	sometimes you'd have to sell out of a
5406s	brand earlier than you'd like to
5408s	speaking of brand though one of the
5411s	absolute best heroes to get it on
5414s	flurgal Max 7q is making them relax look
5418s	pretty good
5420s	is yeah he's got much of the same board
5423s	as we saw from
5425s	uh zanyang as well but without any
5428s	thoughts with a little bit less Divine
5431s	shieldage I'll say because there was a
5433s	golden selfless hero uh for zanyang
5435s	whereas here it's just the ball of
5437s	Minions that Max seven key is lying on
5439s	uh relying on sorry not lying on that to
5442s	be very uncomfortable
5443s	um and I don't know if it's necessarily
5445s	going to be good enough to beat those
5446s	Divine Shields from zanya
5449s	yeah enemy Max 7K is scaling up here but
5453s	susceptible to that Leroy leading
5457s	um from zanyang
5459s	oh my goodness
5461s	a hundred hundreds on the board already
5465s	Pirates go lower
5468s	such a good spot of money though for
5471s	this turn it's interesting to see a
5473s	golden hoga term where you know you have
5476s	time to Spur it's not often that comes
5478s	around but still he's hit uh more than
5481s	enough stats for the moment as it is
5483s	yeah it doesn't have that additional
5484s	copy of hogger to to be truly infinite
5487s	but with cooked book
5489s	the single golden hogger is going to be
5491s	enough to bolster your scaling the
5493s	question is is it going to be enough to
5497s	simultaneously have text and utility to
5501s	deal with on the poison that we see
5503s	developing on everyone else's board
5508s	even this fight gonna be quite close as
5512s	an Eventide group does go into the
5515s	poison and only the salty litter remains
5517s	so penguin's not getting away with not
5519s	getting too much damage and might just
5521s	lock his way into a top four on Kale
5524s	toss by staying pretty high health and
5526s	rely on devils in the details not the
5529s	typical setup in oh we're gonna see
5531s	shaksi slowly transition into that mesh
5534s	setup picking up that deflector there
5536s	with a war gear in hand already
5539s	it makes sense right when you have the
5541s	cookies
5542s	found the other hogger so sexy the
5545s	infinite and finds a gambler the brain
5549s	is out now the gold is going to start
5552s	pouring in with a ton in hand The
5556s	Gambler oh it takes the macro so we see
5559s	this sort of balance of pirates and
5562s	necks being taken for shaxi here as
5565s	again he knows it all these other
5567s	players are going to be playing for
5569s	poison murlocs so he can play the
5571s	Pirates while it suits him but get ready
5573s	to go into murlax at the drop of a pin
5579s	find some pip another pirate taken and
5583s	I've got a feeling this is going to be
5584s	one of the last suits I'm going to be
5585s	able to spectate faxing because
5587s	like Sarah Lasky oh my goodness oh
5591s	you're the gold is not stopping at all
5594s	finds a golden Kip
5597s	you even want that I guess you do you
5599s	want to find the uh mountains
5602s	yeah it actually just sells out of a
5604s	hundred hundred on turn 12 finds a fun
5608s	Reaper he's going to be able to put any
5611s	of the magnetics that he wants onto that
5613s	that's going to be a huge cleave by the
5615s	end of the game
5619s	just
5620s	outstanding play from shaxi you said it
5623s	when you said that he's known for The
5624s	Flash and he's playing this game in
5627s	style actually sells out of the foe
5630s	Reaper says I don't need it he's gonna
5632s	pick it up on six he can get it with a
5634s	buff he's not gonna settle for a puny
5638s	6-94 Reaper
5640s	more
5642s	and we saw vigo's c'thune have a ton of
5646s	stats able to talk
5648s	Taxi's board in their last fight not
5651s	this time around she actually says is
5653s	he's gonna do 17 damage putting Vigo
5656s	down to four on the g'thune
5659s	oh finally oh no Sarah not able to get
5664s	the Pirates to work with that golden
5665s	Hammer and punches does go down to
5667s	Penguins on skeletos which I've been
5669s	very impressed with
5671s	we're only into a top six situation
5674s	between penguin sun and shaksi locking
5677s	up the top we've only got a little bit
5680s	of Health remaining in the rest of the
5681s	lobby short at eight zanyang at five do
5684s	you go at four next seven key at four
5686s	yeah everyone else all but guaranteed to
5688s	die to a single loss here
5691s	um bigger here in terms of scaling it's
5694s	you know slow but it is technically
5696s	getting there with these battle cries
5698s	and the walking fought as well but I
5700s	don't think with the number of poisons
5703s	available he's going to be able to scam
5705s	his way against the uh the likes of the
5709s	Pirates but having just said that he
5711s	does pick up two more with the the very
5714s	cool interaction we see once again
5715s	between murkai Young murkai and the
5718s	toxfin
5720s	yeah and it's gonna be I don't know if
5724s	it'll be close I mean we saw this I know
5727s	just had those Shields like you
5728s	mentioned before that extra Tech might
5732s	be enough it isn't golden
5735s	oh yeah
5738s	I mean there's uh more poisons on the
5741s	board here shield on one of them already
5743s	along with that golden selfless and the
5745s	taunted levery is really really tough
5750s	if vigo's Leroy does go into that ball
5752s	of minions there might be a chance
5755s	but otherwise I think this is going to
5757s	be a very very difficult fight
5765s	one second to go on the countdown
5770s	taking an extra taunt the taunt does go
5773s	into the shop with that stinkers thing
5774s	so not gonna have to worry about
5775s	anything else getting taunted there in
5778s	the mirror trades into the Leroy
5781s	because these other taunts are big
5783s	enough to trade units the poisons do
5785s	have a chance to attack as the Menace
5787s	does delay the selfless hero and there's
5790s	a chance
5797s	[Music]
5798s	oh my Lord how does this keep going in a
5803s	scene I don't know what the odds are and
5805s	it looks like Shacks is gonna take out
5807s	my seven key on the floor go so next I
5809s	think he's you know look to be in an
5811s	okay spot but unfortunately with that
5813s	beef now is very far behind taking a
5816s	solo six with Vigo and zanyang hitting
5820s	the
5821s	unlikely tie Penguins on down to two did
5825s	lose to sword C shards
5832s	it sits at a 263 263 on board and let's
5836s	not forget he did sell out for Reaper
5838s	saying I can do better he did a little
5840s	bit better that's a 176 attacked of a
5843s	Vine Shield to cleave at the front of
5845s	this board
5846s	yeah just a smidge better hey and then
5848s	there's another annoya module to come
5850s	alongside it is the Pirates what
5854s	he's getting to I mentioned it yesterday
5857s	that sometimes you can see the cookbook
5858s	getting the hundred hundred bucks
5860s	he's heading
5868s	over here look at him go does put down
5872s	that other macro wanting to open up
5875s	the ability to have infinite
5880s	Divine Shields
5883s	find the module oh my goodness
5891s	this board is triples
5893s	for a 36 attack
5898s	oh and find shields because why wouldn't
5900s	you want to Shield that 263 263
5906s	aches the triple I mean he just triples
5909s	the macro cause why not everything is
5911s	gonna be huge he can just pick up
5912s	another
5913s	hence on the Lee right to make sure
5915s	nothing funky is happening and
5917s	unfortunately for sword who was doing
5919s	very well very well that's an insane
5921s	board
5923s	but I mean how do you deal with this it
5927s	is it's unfair yeah like this is a Lobby
5930s	winner here potentially for sword in any
5932s	normal game of Battlegrounds but this is
5935s	shaksy we're talking about he is
5936s	anything but normal
5938s	absolutely there's no other way to put
5941s	it I mean you look at how close it is
5945s	only a single unit survives but taxi on
5948s	six it will be enough to leave a sword
5951s	if you again just one Health off two
5954s	Health offs surviving
5957s	penguin Sun into the top three
5960s	getting swords ghost it's not gonna be
5963s	an easy fight against swords ghost we
5965s	saw how strong he was and okay this
5969s	doesn't happen very often but do you
5970s	think we might have a 2.5 end result in
5974s	this Lobby Legends we did have it in
5975s	lobby Legends eight
5977s	but to see a repeat
5985s	likely gonna pick up this glow scale but
5987s	we don't know if penguin Sun knows
5990s	how strong swords board is
6000s	for me
6010s	you're just banking money with the
6012s	patient Scout there's not anything
6013s	specific he's looking for right
6016s	yeah not not anything specific I mean I
6019s	think I mean he knows what the end game
6021s	is all these players know what the end
6023s	game is they know Shacks is huge they
6024s	probably know the track she's not losing
6028s	um but you know your only chance is
6030s	divine Shield poison you're not going to
6032s	be able to compete with sexy stats and
6034s	you're gonna have to get lucky with the
6035s	heads
6037s	um obviously Leroy you know really good
6039s	but if you can't take it you might as
6041s	well Bank the gold in in Hope but I am
6045s	going to be very curious about this
6047s	Quest
6048s	Thor doesn't have the glow scale Shields
6051s	obviously ghost's not able to play those
6053s	wait
6055s	I mean his board is still just crazy the
6058s	gleeve gonna be the difference here
6060s	it goes on to the baron and that's a
6063s	huge hit uh
6068s	England's son will fall to the ghost
6071s	as for chaxy and zanyang I can only
6075s	imagine what we're just about to see
6077s	here picked up another full Reaper
6079s	not gonna fall to feet Leroy II does
6085s	connect taking out one more poison and
6087s	now the max come the harders are gonna
6089s	survive because you know they they they
6092s	they put in the work they deserve
6096s	and exactly but necro reset just to
6099s	clean it up nice and clean should
6101s	actually take a well-deserved drink of
6104s	water
6105s	because he takes game two of our final
6109s	Lobby Legends
6111s	[Music]
6113s	that's right yeah very very nicely done
6115s	by Sexy and
6116s	Pirates
6117s	kind of like that was sort of stretching
6119s	the definition of pure Pirates but you
6121s	know it's definitely hoga APM uh at the
6123s	end there for shaxi uh winning both of
6125s	our first two lobbies which you know I
6128s	would have to guess in some regards due
6131s	to the fact that it has been mostly APAC
6134s	and China players making it through to
6136s	day two right which means there are more
6138s	players with that lower ping in order to
6140s	be able to actually pull off
6141s	compositions like this because yesterday
6144s	when the European players tried to do it
6146s	we could see the struggle the the hogger
6148s	compositions were just not really
6150s	working to be honest whereas this my
6153s	goodness is it working the Observer has
6154s	to wait like a full 30 seconds to a
6156s	minute uh before it can actually catch
6158s	up with what the players are doing
6160s	yeah they're just so fast unhindered by
6163s	the server latency and yeah it was a
6168s	really interesting play from sexy I mean
6170s	we saw staying down early like I said it
6173s	was suspect right we were like what is
6176s	it freezing for a world leader is it for
6177s	the scallywag what's our options then we
6180s	saw the question it was like oh this is
6182s	what's going on had a few close fights
6185s	and that just tells you I mean it's
6188s	exactly to your point right those small
6191s	differences can't really make a
6193s	difference we saw a salty looter at nine
6194s	Health earlier right
6196s	you know these are very minuscule
6198s	differences and penguin song with the
6202s	second and a half is actually tied with
6205s	shaxi for the lead here both have 11.5
6208s	points Sarah with not the best follow-up
6212s	to his victory in game one does reside
6215s	at third with eight zanyang at seven
6218s	sword just behind at 6.5 Vigo at Five
6222s	Points zorgo at four and a half in the
6224s	max seven key the winner of Lobby
6226s	Legends 2 only at two points after game
6230s	two
6230s	that's right but once again things for
6232s	Max 7
6234s	obviously looking bad not trying to
6236s	sugarcoat that but no one is yet in
6240s	with the potential of putting the lobby
6242s	in check next round like even a win for
6244s	shakes you're Penguin Sound only puts
6246s	them up to 18 and a half points so max 7
6249s	key has at least two more games in order
6251s	to try and turn this around and a single
6254s	win he's back in business then we can
6256s	start talking about his ability to turn
6258s	this one around so as I said earlier on
6261s	he's going to be driven more and more to
6263s	his towards these risky strategies
6264s	honestly I wouldn't be surprised if we
6266s	see another eight another eight from Max
6268s	seven key uh not to say that he's been
6271s	playing poorly but just because he has
6273s	to go for all or nothing as this
6275s	tournament progresses uh but with that
6278s	said and done we are going to go to a
6281s	quick break when we come back game three
6283s	uh we'll begin and we'll see whether
6286s	shaksi and Penguin Sound in joint first
6289s	place can get us into check of being in
6293s	check as they do slowly start to
6295s	approach uh that 20-point threshold so
6297s	we'll be right back
6302s	[Music]

6500s	welcome back everyone to Lobby Legends
6503s	winter Veil getting into the action
6506s	really getting our teeth into things now
6507s	as the players have crossed 10 points
6510s	but it is once again the 20-point
6512s	threshold that players need to cross in
6514s	order to put the lobby in to check but
6518s	okay getting a look at the fantasy team
6520s	picks here uh zorgo the most picked I
6524s	believe of all of our players but so far
6526s	gotta be said not a great choice for
6529s	anyone who did so naming no names on the
6531s	Caster desk as he is in penultimate
6534s	bottom place right now
6536s	that being said penguin sun and sexy who
6538s	you had both of them and both are in the
6541s	lead you know following up in that
6542s	second and third spots not doing too bad
6544s	in Sword who we both had in that fourth
6547s	spot so
6548s	you know pretty good for most of the
6551s	people out there
6552s	thus far Sarah in fifth Vigo
6556s	Max seven key is on young rounding it
6558s	out
6559s	I was surprised to see Max seven key so
6561s	low on the pick rate given that he has a
6563s	previous Legends winner but so far you
6566s	know good job uh to our viewers in not
6569s	picking him because it has not been
6570s	looking great for him but far hoping
6572s	that things can turn around and also
6575s	I've got to say hoping for a uh a
6577s	slightly different flavor to this game
6579s	because while I did appreciate the first
6581s	two games they were very exciting to see
6583s	all that pirate action I'm looking to
6585s	see something a little bit different but
6588s	having said that this is another murlocs
6591s	and Pirate game but no mix very
6593s	specifically which will really spice
6595s	things up I think absolutely a big
6597s	difference maker beasts also in gonna be
6601s	a very interesting thing to keep an eye
6603s	out and the hero choices always
6606s	interesting as Shacks he's choosing
6608s	between malaga's Sneed and handsome
6610s	meccano and Gail Wing I'd imagine going
6613s	but Snead is also pretty good in this
6617s	Lobby so we'll see what he opts for
6622s	a surprise pick the malagos and now I'm
6626s	very curious to see what she actually
6628s	does with malios here there are some
6631s	tokens in but we're gonna keep an eye on
6633s	what penguin Sun picks as his family
6635s	hero power offered
6637s	uh Illidan Sarah power eudora's zero
6640s	power in divulgence spirit swap to swap
6643s	those minion stats uh gonna take the
6646s	volgen hero power with that Alley Cat in
6649s	the shop
6650s	zargo on the phala and it has oh my
6652s	goodness oh
6655s	all right
6656s	he's gonna be playing for murlocs I
6658s	think
6659s	yeah I think in this instance you shot
6661s	your murk eyes and you just Spam some
6664s	murlocs
6668s	and you know what
6670s	I
6672s	i l oh wait sword okay he's on the James
6675s	I was gonna say I was gonna turn one do
6677s	my bandwagon pick for zorgo with that
6680s	murloc setup but now I'm a little bit
6683s	concerned jandus is so powerful you know
6686s	what I'm gonna bite the bullet I'm doing
6687s	it bandwagon for zorgo on the murlocs
6691s	I'm feeling it
6697s	I'm a little bit tall on this one
6700s	again because it's uh it's my boy
6703s	well anyone in chat you do have a couple
6705s	turns to see how things play out check
6708s	out what those quests are quickly before
6710s	making your prediction
6713s	back seven key on k' Dune here did you
6716s	use the gem on the rear defend human so
6718s	not wanting to lose these early game
6719s	fights probably expecting to hero power
6722s	on it turn three
6727s	and zargo freezing the murlocs in the
6730s	shop so gonna opt to pick up that swamp
6732s	Striker and likely the rock pool selling
6735s	that Tad for a nice clean turn did it
6738s	take damage to penguin Sun's Finley
6740s	having buffed up both of those cats
6744s	foreign
6745s	though like again this is
6748s	I mean I don't even want to call it a
6749s	one-dimensional game plan this is a Zero
6751s	Dimensional game plan it's play these
6753s	fishy frog guys and hope that it's good
6755s	enough
6760s	okay so we'll pick up the radical pair
6762s	it has that smile Striker going down is
6765s	gonna play one let's see if he holds the
6768s	second one here for the quest
6770s	looks like he will yeah I mean there's a
6773s	lot of synergy there right it's battle
6775s	cries murlocs and change of minions
6778s	stats would get you a couple of procs on
6780s	that so I do actually like uh
6782s	potentially taking a little bit more
6783s	damage for a quick request
6786s	yeah and I'm interested to see what we
6789s	see on Sarah's board as well mutinously
6791s	here we don't see that often in large
6793s	part because of those questions oh zargo
6796s	is he he's gonna do it at the last
6797s	second he does
6798s	he commits the other Rock pulldown not
6800s	wanting to take damage playing the
6802s	Battle Cry playing the murloc up against
6805s	the mutants who has a very similar board
6806s	but instead of that
6808s	second Rockwell has a scallywagon
6810s	because of that it's not gonna be enough
6814s	so zarga stays a little bit of Health
6816s	committing The Rock pulled down and
6818s	we'll see his quests coming up here
6824s	find some War leader in the shop
6830s	is your tattoo combats cooked bug in oh
6834s	insta yeah yeah
6838s	I mean I guess with that one you're
6839s	maybe holding back on the wall leader
6840s	because that was the potential to kind
6842s	of board that could actually uh win
6844s	well and he picks up a patient Scout and
6846s	what that's gonna allow him to do is
6849s	wait for a five drop and potentially hit
6852s	that brand that you want to pair with so
6856s	badly uh as well as the pictures kept
6858s	not being the strongest on board I'm not
6860s	gonna change my bandwagon pick I believe
6866s	yeah I'm joining you I actually think
6869s	that was a really strong start from
6870s	zorgo and a nice quest to go alongside
6872s	it as well
6876s	um
6877s	sword unable to hit anything hugely
6881s	valuable uh with his hero power gonna
6884s	have to end up waiting we'll see what
6886s	quest he has in a second but
6889s	I'd also like to see what Shacks he's up
6891s	to on the Mally because I was completely
6894s	taken back by that setup
6897s	also going from murlocs in freezing a
6901s	patient Scout here oh
6903s	I
6904s	think that all these players might be
6906s	thinking the same thing patience count
6909s	might be my chance to cheese at a brand
6913s	I could be wrong but I have to imagine
6915s	that's why that's frozen yeah hero power
6919s	in a little bit of a niche interaction
6921s	to change the other Frozen minion I
6923s	think so that only one minion ends up
6926s	Frozen
6927s	it was cool play from sexy bear
6932s	working out in a brand right that would
6935s	be turn
6936s	n before that's actually offering you a
6938s	five drop which just feels so far down
6940s	the line for the loss of tempo the
6942s	patient Scout uh necessitates
6945s	it is laid but you can always opt to to
6949s	change your mind right to take something
6951s	earlier if you feel like you need to
6954s	it's it's all about the options not
6956s	having to commit to anything though I
6958s	say that the players are certainly
6960s	committing them relax here as we see
6962s	zorgo has a wide word of murlax has
6966s	played that Primal Finn discovering a
6968s	cold light Seer toxin or swamp striker
6971s	this is a tough choice toxin early not
6975s	as valuable oh in Vegas hero power also
6978s	gives them the option to go into Miralax
6980s	but interrogator Whiteman or corrupted
6982s	limit on also options and with the Naga
6985s	on board it's going to take the
6986s	corrupted moment on also a little bit
6987s	stronger uh immediate Tempo with that
6990s	gem in hand to buff it up to a 4-4 and
6992s	that will be an 8-8 in combat
6996s	norco's still contemplating this
6998s	decision the stats of cold lights here
7000s	appear available in the shop as well or
7003s	the early guaranteed poison especially
7007s	if you do grab that kidnap sack it does
7010s	oh wow I was gonna say it felt to me
7011s	like you had scared to see it like I
7012s	know poison is the late game Thinking
7016s	here but I just felt like plus eight
7018s	health here on all your board overall is
7021s	uh probably gonna win you more fights in
7023s	the early game but he's got his side
7025s	sets on the horizon here and I think it
7026s	makes sense where Zogo is that he needs
7029s	a win here being in seventh place
7031s	overall in the standards yeah absolutely
7034s	and you are completely right it would
7037s	have saved him a decent amount of Health
7040s	being stronger in these early game
7042s	fights but would that kidnap SEC not too
7044s	far away being able to bounce that
7046s	poison or the Primal Fin and having that
7048s	option depending on the fight is a huge
7051s	Boon for zorgo
7053s	gonna see Sarah eating a murloc
7056s	and it's gonna put that right again the
7058s	swamp strikerian absolutely looking for
7060s	the brand like you said but not hitting
7063s	instead finds a bristleback knight Tony
7065s	two-tusker Critter Wrangler
7068s	by taking the bristle back just for the
7069s	immediate tempo
7072s	Critter Wrangler can be nice as well but
7074s	I do like grabbing that Shield
7076s	especially with two
7079s	semi-lackluster minions we might see you
7082s	know this wolfen played
7084s	eating the swamp Striker and hoping that
7087s	it lands onto that bristle back night
7088s	and can be that mid game carry that
7090s	you're looking for
7094s	England
7096s	difficult spot right Far and Away the
7099s	least direction from anyone we've seen
7101s	so far and in these types of situations
7103s	uh you know only it's happened tier
7105s	three uh what is his biggest priority
7108s	for the expenditure of his gold in the
7110s	next few turns
7112s	well I'm curious if he okay he does not
7115s	take the other selfie Captain so you
7119s	definitely want to play for direction
7121s	here he's been able to maintain that
7123s	High Health total at 39 but you're
7126s	getting to a spot where
7129s	it's pretty scary from here on out
7131s	because his board strength is weak
7138s	oh and I said earlier I understand now
7142s	it's because he has pilferred lamps as
7145s	his quest and the quest that he has to
7148s	complete play 10 Battle Cry minions so
7150s	Thorn caller working towards that
7155s	but will it be enough he is able to use
7157s	that hero power to stay healthy here
7160s	beating vigo's Eudora Wing 7 damage
7164s	means that 39 has that one pair
7166s	available
7169s	the strong arm Battle Cry gonna use the
7172s	patience cap to search for another
7174s	and zanya has to cook on the Silas
7178s	if we see another cooked book with
7183s	as I completed already early on turn
7186s	seven Pirates are available no mechs
7189s	this time but we saw how powerful horror
7191s	can be in this situation
7196s	find the idea of just snapping up a baby
7198s	Crush to see you through these uh you
7201s	know awkward transition turns uh before
7204s	you turn into the uh the butterfly that
7206s	is cooked book
7207s	absolutely that intermediate Tempo
7210s	setting up for the late game success of
7212s	having cooked but carry you to victory
7215s	gonna be test two baby Crush
7219s	and it looks pretty good having that
7221s	Passmore along with that scallywag a few
7224s	taunts probably gonna get a few
7226s	spellcraft here and that will also help
7228s	bolster his board strength while he
7231s	waits for that cookbook to really come
7232s	online it looks like sword did
7234s	eventually
7237s	get set up with some of those triples
7240s	into fives
7242s	oh no hold the Alley Cat here looking
7245s	for another I suppose right yeah is he
7248s	really gonna try and make another triple
7250s	here that feels
7251s	super ambitious with very little board
7253s	space to work with
7255s	I think he's gonna rely on having some
7257s	of those nagas here for a little bit but
7259s	then tripling instead of uh a five on
7263s	the second one a six looking for that at
7265s	this or orozoa that we see be the
7267s	linchpin of the Naga strategies
7272s	able to snipe that mermaid on with that
7275s	Divine Shield is very nice
7277s	the lava lurk are taking the few units
7279s	itself
7283s	there's gonna be a close fight it's
7286s	gonna be pretty minimal damage out of
7288s	vigo's Eudora
7290s	a hero that we've seen a few times now
7292s	said semi mixed results we saw a win
7295s	yesterday in eighth today
7298s	we'll see where Vigo ends up on that
7300s	Spectrum
7301s	uh golden Hammer not offering him much
7303s	here I'd be interested to take a look at
7305s	zorgo as well actually in the next
7306s	couple turns as he was both of our pick
7309s	to win this uh Lobby to take it all down
7313s	here but he's down in the danger zone
7315s	the first player below 15 health and
7317s	what has been happening here do we think
7318s	this is the kind of board that can
7320s	stabilize in the next few terms
7322s	it's very tough does see that
7325s	glow scale in the shop which is very
7327s	strong at this point because zorgo
7330s	hasn't he wasn't able to find that brand
7332s	and doesn't have a lot of Health on
7334s	these Miralax relying on the poison
7337s	exclusively does find that double
7339s	correlates in their shop not gonna have
7341s	enough gold to grab both but we'll
7345s	likely pick up one of those two units
7347s	could actually end up with
7350s	a board of
7352s	five poisons here if you want to do if
7354s	you played the talk speed and then left
7356s	it on the left hand side of young
7357s	murakai uh which you know this with
7360s	limited Divine Shields would be super
7362s	strong but what has happened here super
7365s	strong penguin sun has set up four
7367s	triples into five has 20 seconds to play
7370s	them all down finds a brand a hogger
7373s	place the brand before playing The Thorn
7376s	color maximizing the value gems to hand
7378s	finds an aggravating to bolster the
7380s	stats from the gems an insane amount of
7382s	stats coming down and is gonna play the
7386s	show clutch at the end making sure
7387s	there's enough hand Suites for all the
7389s	coins the coins won't get expended
7390s	neither will the triple Discovery but
7392s	what an insane turn in 20 seconds for
7394s	Penguin sign unbelievable can I change
7397s	my band where I can take over to him now
7399s	because it really feels like he might be
7401s	the player to take this down hogar on
7402s	board and with that pilfered lamps if he
7404s	could just get one more from the uh the
7407s	triple reward in hand he could be well
7409s	on his way to giving us our third game
7411s	in a row oh won by Pirates if you can
7414s	find that second pogger
7416s	absolutely and he will beat Shaq's
7419s	alligators here
7421s	with the victim inspector on facts his
7424s	side but he does go underneath damage
7427s	camp
7427s	taking nine and it looks like zorica was
7430s	able to win his fight or at least tie it
7432s	golden Freddy Golden bran
7436s	oh
7441s	is it real here he's at 27 Health with
7446s	pilford Lambs golden hogger golden brand
7449s	four Golden Hand finds a Peggy because
7452s	why not a couple gems with that haga
7454s	Megan before I'm sure that will be uh
7457s	out soon
7459s	best time to put those gloves to the
7461s	test this is 8 P.M time very very soon
7464s	it isn't oh my goodness
7467s	here we go
7470s	more Pirates to
7473s	activate this strong arm with the golden
7476s	brand I mean I assume he's gonna buff up
7478s	this Peggy it's gonna be huge in one
7481s	turn what's going on oh there's some
7484s	more Pirates
7486s	oh but he's not gonna okay I was gonna
7488s	say us certainly you want to try and
7490s	cycle those firsts before playing the
7492s	stronger in so many stats
7495s	looks like you might wanna he wants on
7497s	Tony
7498s	yeah he wants to keep the Tony around
7501s	gonna try and triple this burger and
7504s	successfully do so no try about it find
7509s	some Ninja Queen here we'll take that
7513s	yeah just so strong immediately
7519s	we see zorgo now using that cold lights
7523s	here with the young merkai to buff up
7526s	his board
7527s	it's nice positioning to play around
7529s	that uh Hydra because otherwise that
7531s	could have wreaked havoc with his game
7532s	plan
7534s	yeah making sure to have that clue
7535s	protection in the form of a second young
7537s	murkai that he's found obviously having
7540s	to level to six
7542s	to be able to play the first from his
7544s	hero power he can roll into that triple
7547s	very soon here
7548s	oh wow as we see seven damage to Vigo
7552s	yeah still no one falling there right
7555s	turn ten and everyone's still in the
7557s	lobby there's the potential for this to
7559s	go those 11 turns that is one of the
7561s	puzzle box questions if nobody goes
7563s	through and uh or thanks to the pilford
7566s	lamps he's able to uh golden the first
7569s	mate pit for choosing not to do so
7576s	uh
7579s	play the swabby here get that
7582s	pasta level way down
7586s	Vigo looking at a gold cover triple
7592s	match up into swords Janus
7596s	I mean he has a couple of Golden's on
7598s	board the Eliza could be a lot of
7601s	in combat stats yeah I think will be the
7604s	pickup
7605s	he knows he's not winning this Lobby not
7608s	even close he just needs to try and play
7611s	one extra spot of the leaderboard by not
7614s	coming in stone cold eighth
7617s	and sexy with the maligos pick up on the
7620s	brink of death at one Health matched up
7623s	into Sarah who's picked up many more
7625s	Divine Shields did end up tripling that
7627s	bristlebag night or golden hammering it
7629s	actually or oh
7631s	yeah actually he may have golden
7633s	hammered the Naga to get shields I think
7636s	so yeah curious I don't know which one's
7638s	a natural triple
7640s	I guess I would tend to believe that
7643s	it's the bristleback Knight but I'm not
7644s	positive the Leroy first the manted
7647s	queen second followed by that Divine
7649s	Shield Rock pool oh two big Divine
7654s	Shield units behind there and
7656s	I'm worried for sexy
7659s	um he's also relying on poisons pretty
7661s	heavily he's got some Divine Shields of
7663s	his own with the selfless and the
7667s	um glow scale but I don't think it's
7670s	quite gonna be enough to stand up
7671s	against this unless there's an excellent
7673s	very lucky hits actually Shield did go
7676s	onto the man to the very nice
7678s	being poison in that is not it at all
7682s	this bristle back Knight will do the
7685s	carrying that it set out to earlier and
7688s	the lethal shanksy of serious is 13 on
7691s	the mutinous zorgo able to deal with
7694s	penguin Sun's lamps board
7697s	maybe maybe we did pick right after all
7701s	literally hit something but this is
7704s	starting to feel like the last couple of
7706s	turns where players are going to be able
7707s	to keep up with what penguin San is
7710s	throwing down
7711s	and the big thing is the golden brand is
7715s	very strong with nagazine
7717s	no more like on board so Primal if
7719s	you're not gonna be probably that econ
7721s	but again we've seen some players not
7723s	ever oh oh there we go I was gonna say
7727s	they don't hit that extra hogger but uh
7730s	does he knows what he's doing swaps the
7734s	stats onto it before selling out of the
7738s	quill or triples the strong arm these
7742s	find a couple more Pirates has the Naga
7744s	shell collector to give him a little bit
7747s	extra gold to work with slow though just
7750s	like these uh animations alone they do
7752s	really hurt your APM
7754s	it does indeed and we see how long it
7757s	takes for him to pick up that blue shell
7758s	the scallywagon
7761s	uh Gold River not far behind here though
7763s	oh still no Pirates okay there they are
7766s	starting to come through and the
7768s	question is I mean he does have the
7770s	golden selfless but there isn't a ton of
7772s	utility on board and he sounded 13 all
7775s	of a sudden up into a lot of poison
7777s	boards that we've seen in this world
7779s	and so will the pure stats be enough I
7782s	mean there's gonna be a lot we see a
7784s	couple strongers coming down one of them
7785s	golden the Golden brand and so many
7788s	minions bought this turn finally that
7789s	piggy does get buffed up
7791s	yeah looking for a mountain there on the
7793s	left
7794s	doesn't hit I'm gonna play this out to
7797s	try and play around any tax
7800s	and Vigo with no
7803s	text just relying on those elizas
7807s	yeah yeah I mean in indeed Pico did well
7811s	uh he did well in this game to squeeze
7814s	out not coming in absolute eight uh in
7817s	this position absolutely not hitting
7819s	anything we've seen Eudora be in this
7821s	position before where it is just a
7823s	struggling you know recognizing the
7826s	situation in these high pressure
7828s	tournaments is completely acceptable
7831s	like you said saying I'm not gonna win
7833s	we're just gonna play for the best
7834s	placement we can get we're gonna pick up
7836s	these Eliza's and uh we're gonna match
7838s	up into penguins and say well there was
7840s	nothing else we could have done don't
7843s	need to feel bad about that
7848s	Penguins fun opting to skip the triples
7851s	at this point fully committed to the
7854s	board on hand not needing anything else
7857s	does grab the user for potential Baron
7860s	selfless later even a LeRoy romantic
7863s	buff
7864s	there really is just something in the
7866s	water today or I guess more
7868s	appropriately on the water because it's
7870s	just pirate City here with the Hogs
7872s	every single game looking like they're
7875s	going to take it down not over yet of
7877s	course because there's a lot of murloc
7878s	still knocking about in this game and
7879s	this is far from protected against that
7882s	but for penguin sand the only thing I
7885s	think we can say he needs to find here
7886s	is uh Divine Shields right he needs to
7889s	hit the selfless and the baron rivendare
7891s	and then I think he should be very
7892s	comfortably winning
7894s	very much so but for now we'll look at
7897s	two of penguin Sun's Challengers Max
7900s	seven key turned it turn the tides of
7903s	his Fates Sarah with a golden hogger on
7906s	board courtesy of that golden Hammer
7909s	it's matched up here
7911s	this is also a close one hex 7K
7915s	definitely with more stats Sarah with
7917s	the Divine Shields and poisons
7920s	yeah that Leroy itself is actually
7924s	surprisingly big though
7926s	kind of close
7928s	yeah I
7930s	think I'm gonna go with Sarah but I do
7933s	not feel oh it's close
7938s	it's gonna come down to where this Leroy
7940s	goes
7941s	will it Dodge the minted will it hit the
7945s	Divine shield
7946s	no Divine Shield oh that's really bad
7954s	he is indeed in oh this is so much okay
7960s	favorite but Sarah does take it so my
7963s	bear house blessings predictions intact
7966s	thus far
7969s	uh actually that's false I I lost the
7972s	last one along with you
7975s	yeah well you're one better than me now
7977s	like yeah the Delta run it
7980s	zanyang with two golden monkeys with
7984s	that golden Elise on board has that
7987s	cooked book and that does give you the
7989s	option to get you know a lot of stats on
7991s	these utility minions but
7993s	doesn't have this cats necessarily just
7997s	yet to match up with penguin Sun
8001s	we'll be against Sarah this fight though
8005s	on the munis and we saw muteness with a
8008s	plethora of divine Shields poisons
8011s	Leroy's
8013s	able to take out Max 7 key on the
8016s	cartoon
8022s	Pharaoh with his own hulkerboard finally
8024s	having been hit but as we can see the uh
8027s	the benefit that is being gained from
8029s	cycling through these Pirates is
8030s	currently not bite there gold run out uh
8034s	Peggy only just having been found
8036s	selling the salty looter to keep the
8039s	train going is just a heartbreaker
8043s	yeah and it's gonna be tough
8046s	we're gonna see sargo is gonna be able
8049s	to play through a glow scale and end on
8052s	[Applause]
8053s	only one manted Queen
8057s	behold my friend's zorgo trying to win
8061s	does have two Shields courtesy of a
8063s	previous glow scale
8066s	confident against penguin Sun's Pirates
8069s	I respect it he's got a lot of divine
8072s	Shield is right this is a potential
8073s	extra one on the Manti queen and a
8075s	golden selfless hero I think that beats
8078s	most chords
8081s	that being said penguin sun was able to
8084s	find that Baron did have that golden
8086s	selfless and was able to buff up a ball
8089s	of minions to huge Heights to buff up a
8092s	Hydra
8094s	oh wait it wasn't even about minions
8096s	he's got the volgen hero power
8099s	oh it didn't even need to take that risk
8101s	and disorgan goes down taking 16
8108s	Sarah survives at one Health so zorgo
8112s	out in a Solo fourth and it will be a
8114s	Zion guesses or goes a ghost with that
8117s	cleave buffed up with cookbook Abel
8122s	to you clear up some of those poisons on
8126s	zarger's board I would assume
8128s	and zorgo won't have the benefit of
8130s	those glue skills this time around
8133s	I should say yes making it further than
8137s	I thought he would in all honesty with
8139s	this board I really thought that would
8140s	start to get outscaled pretty heavily
8142s	now but he's he's getting it done and
8144s	respect to him for it
8147s	yeah and it looks like today's theme is
8150s	just showing us the value of hogger
8152s	showing us the value of cooked book here
8156s	yesterday we saw you know teal tiger
8158s	Sapphire and fell back being the combos
8160s	of choice but today
8162s	nothing poggers
8171s	yeah I think both penguin San and Sarah
8174s	right now are
8176s	uh
8177s	going absolutely crazy on the hogars
8181s	absolutely
8183s	oh they're looking for those texts does
8186s	have a minted Queen in the shop to
8188s	potentially pick up but
8191s	just fully oh my God puts together
8195s	another ginormous Hydra
8199s	I don't know how you beat this I don't
8201s	think you do
8208s	leaver goes into the man dude
8211s	that's just the other and we see the
8213s	shields come out onto these Cleaves and
8215s	they will certainly clear up what is
8219s	left of Sarah's board
8222s	[Applause]
8223s	it's a very clever transition with the
8225s	Penguin Sound again this is you know I
8227s	think we can count this as another
8229s	hogger Victory a pirate Victory even
8231s	though he ends up with like almost no
8232s	pirates on his board if any at the end
8235s	of this uh because he transitions into
8237s	first of all the obvious text that you
8240s	would do in the selfless era the baron
8241s	the glow scales and the mantids but then
8244s	using that hero power that he has access
8246s	to uh to swap the stats getting rid of
8249s	those hogars and going in on the hydras
8251s	it's just such a deserved win
8255s	absolutely sexy and penguin Sun both
8258s	showing you know the the power of being
8261s	able to transition out of these comps uh
8264s	shaksi into max penguin Sun into the
8266s	Divine Shield Cleaves
8268s	and it is again this concept of
8272s	you know how do you play around your
8274s	loss conditions Pirates they feel risky
8277s	when you're talking about murlocs being
8280s	in the lobby
8281s	but when you add in the utility of
8283s	divine Shields add in the cleave
8285s	potential it's just unbeatable from this
8289s	position when you had so many resources
8292s	to work with bolstered by the effect of
8295s	that pilferred lamps Quest
8302s	Penguin sign considering what to do with
8305s	his final four gold could triple this
8308s	Gambler likely won't play it here
8312s	uh and it is gonna freeze for that white
8314s	Mane just a potential Tech out at this
8317s	point you have the tunnel Blaster
8319s	available you have those Divine Shields
8321s	again with the resources you have just
8323s	do what you can to be able to put
8325s	yourself in a position to win given any
8329s	outcome
8332s	it's not a cheerful born from zanyang
8336s	but again it's gonna be tough the Levi's
8340s	could potentially
8343s	clear off one of the atlanted uh one of
8346s	the
8348s	hydras yeah but not two of them but
8352s	that's for the actual and that will be
8355s	penguin Sun
8356s	Victorious in game three a beautiful
8360s	pilford Lambs game one of those other
8363s	quests that we highlighted earlier that
8364s	we didn't get to see yesterday you see
8367s	it today and boy was it good
8369s	absolutely monstrous victory for
8371s	penguins and doubling down on again
8372s	which uh doubling down again on the word
8374s	which I would use to describe him most
8376s	consistently which is consistency is
8379s	what we see from him time and again uh
8381s	and with another Victory here we see the
8384s	joint first place that him and Shaq see
8386s	were both cohabiting at the end of last
8388s	game uh going as far apart as it
8391s	possibly can now as we see shaksi taking
8393s	an eighth place uh for Penguin Sound
8396s	taking a first place boosting up to 18.5
8399s	points with a victory there so he is not
8403s	guaranteed obviously to put the lobby in
8406s	check next game but if his play so far
8408s	today has been anything to go by I'm
8410s	gonna say he's extremely likely to do so
8413s	yeah and it's looking good I mean
8415s	Penguin sign
8417s	he's the player that I said every
8420s	qualifier that he's played in he's made
8421s	into the final stages the qualifier
8423s	Siege is grueling it is insanely hard to
8427s	get out of we've seen players make nine
8429s	out of nine and not make any finals
8431s	Penguins on every time that he's been
8433s	there has made it at least to the
8435s	semifinals and he's one of our two
8436s	players that's played in the lobby
8438s	Legends Final Lobby before he has that
8441s	experience he has that experience with
8442s	the check format and the pressure
8445s	Max 7K obviously the other hasn't been
8448s	able to replicate his past success but
8451s	penguin's son saying no it's my turn
8454s	with fantastic performances a second a
8458s	second and a half and a first now to uh
8461s	yeah be at that 18.5 points Sarah and
8464s	zanyang with a first would both put the
8466s	lobby in check though zanyon coming in
8468s	strong these past two games
8471s	yeah and again it's been what we saw
8473s	from zanyang on the previous day where I
8476s	wouldn't say either of the boards he
8477s	managed to accrue in these last two
8479s	games have been especially impressive
8481s	but they're getting the job done he
8483s	hasn't been a standout player in terms
8486s	of his compositions that he's managed to
8487s	hit but that's not what you need to do
8489s	you just need to get enough points to
8491s	get the lobby in check and as you said
8492s	if he can find that sparkle that magic
8495s	for the next game he will be putting the
8497s	lobby in to check so when we come back
8501s	from this break game three and I'm gonna
8502s	say very likely the lobby heading into
8505s	check you're not going to want to miss
8507s	it as things really start to heat up so
8509s	we'll see you very soon
8519s	thank you

9132s	welcome back everyone to Lobby Legends
9135s	winter Veil we're heading into game four
9139s	now and we are very rapidly approaching
9142s	the uh the end game of this tournament I
9145s	think with penguins and boasting some
9147s	incredible numbers so far in this
9148s	tournament a couple of points away from
9150s	putting the lobby in check and from what
9152s	I gather backing up some pretty
9153s	impressive numbers in lobby Legends
9155s	overall
9157s	absolutely only needs a sixth and a half
9160s	to get through but the big thing that
9162s	I've noticed so far in the first three
9164s	games has just been highlighted by
9166s	remarkable plays in game one we saw
9169s	Sarah utilize that Varden taguarantee
9172s	that hogger meanwhile in game two we saw
9175s	sassy
9176s	using holding back having restraint but
9180s	utilizing that tank and then not hero
9182s	powering it instead saving for hogger in
9184s	last game we did I mean that was expert
9187s	play by penguin Sun utilizing the
9189s	pilferred lamps playing into that Quest
9192s	and here we'll see if he can repeat the
9195s	performance as we start on his Heroes
9197s	like between Elise fungalman sir flurgo
9200s	Maleficent man of storm and another
9202s	manasaur Milhouse
9203s	yeah brothers and sisters Partners uh my
9208s	law is not good enough
9209s	I'm I'm with you so uh I won't have to
9213s	discuss it as penguin sun is on the
9216s	Elise
9217s	we've got sword on zephyr's next seven
9220s	key on Toki Sarah with the Finley hero
9223s	power choosing here between you Dora uh
9226s	ozumat and
9229s	Maleficent uh again I
9234s	can't say I love these choices for Sarah
9237s	uh Eudora the big thing is that we've
9239s	seen it a few times but part of the
9240s	reason that we've seen it is because it
9242s	has a very high armor total we will see
9244s	it here again but it's not quite as good
9247s	as you'd see on a natural Eudora
9249s	unfortunately and you can just see that
9251s	from Sarah's expression right like
9253s	sitting back in his chair kind of
9254s	grimacing as the turn ends no tokens
9257s	available to buy in his cell straight
9258s	away again and uh yeah really not much
9261s	going on there taking a look at the
9263s	minion types that we do see Pirates
9264s	finally banned away here so we are for
9267s	the first time not going to see a hog of
9270s	Victory hit no matter what but I think
9272s	that's the fourth game in a row where
9276s	dragons have not been represented which
9279s	uh I mean really means that only the the
9281s	ball of minions technicality is what's
9284s	saving you here so far we'll see I mean
9287s	it hasn't happened yet so I could still
9289s	be wrong
9290s	um and here we see zorgon Master win
9292s	like I said my favorite hero in the game
9295s	found at least hero power on turn one
9297s	was able to discover a Tavern Tipper and
9301s	grabbed the pair
9303s	now looking to buff them up both
9307s	floating at Gold here on
9309s	four gold up against Max 7 case Toki the
9312s	rest of the lobby that we didn't go over
9313s	it looks like Vigo I believe if I
9315s	remember correctly that is the curator
9318s	um taxi on bran zanyang on a volgen
9324s	we saw that Volcan hero power used to
9328s	great effect on the Finley last game
9331s	we'll see if the ACT performance can be
9333s	replicated
9337s	okay the whole continuation here for
9340s	sharks wait a second Vigo on the curator
9343s	also in all minions type there's a
9345s	dragon
9347s	oh my goodness come on you're not gonna
9350s	sneak out though in with the well the
9354s	amalgam does that not look like a dragon
9355s	to you look at that that little amalgam
9358s	there it doesn't look like anything to
9359s	me that's just like a festive splat
9363s	well I mean that's a fair description I
9366s	can't argue with you on that one
9370s	we'll see again there are murlax and Max
9373s	and no beasts this time so mechs are
9376s	gonna have a little bit less counter
9377s	play so we'll see if players lean as
9380s	hard into that murloc end game or if we
9383s	see more of the Divine Shield setups and
9385s	people trying to outstand this mechs
9389s	here
9390s	speaking of stats circle with a ton
9394s	taking the bear off's hero power Lord
9397s	bear of hero power getting a bet in and
9399s	continuing to tip Bob for those Tavern
9402s	Tipper Buffs
9404s	did purchase and hold a shell collector
9407s	waiting for the quest selection here
9410s	all right let's see what's happening
9411s	here I don't love any of those
9412s	conditions and I
9414s	don't love those rewards either like I
9418s	have to agree with you on that sneakers
9420s	thanks refreshing 10 evil twin for
9422s	buying 10 in menager man for adding 30.
9425s	oh wow and I've got to make a prediction
9427s	here I'm I'm sure with the
9430s	enhance-o-matic for playing six I'm
9433s	gonna go with Sarah here oh he tastes as
9435s	aerys on the Eudora oh my goodness I
9437s	need to change
9438s	pivot oh
9442s	sexy sexy on the Brand's the pick
9446s	Axion brand oh that's it's a risky Pig
9450s	but like you say it could be a winning
9452s	one a risk but murlocs are in so I have
9456s	that
9457s	bolstering my hopes here sexy with also
9462s	unfortunate quests
9465s	and
9466s	yeah it doesn't happen who knows about
9468s	the pivot I don't know this one's closed
9471s	I mean none of the hero selections or
9473s	the quests tell me anything just yet
9476s	she actually with four battle cries
9478s	purchased so far one away from getting
9481s	that brand onto the board
9484s	yeah obviously very nicely greeting it
9485s	out to get maximum uh prockage once the
9490s	brand does come down and I think that
9492s	will be enough to stabilize him a good
9494s	amount like these are good battle cries
9496s	to play post-brown
9499s	and the Penguin sign was
9502s	able to get to three quite early here on
9505s	turn four has two three drops on the
9507s	board in the form of that thorn color
9509s	and Warden of old
9511s	I'm gonna take a little bit of damage
9513s	here as both the lava lurker and angler
9515s	die so it will be seven coming out of
9518s	zanyang's volgin
9523s	X7 key on the toky
9527s	does hero power into a primal fin with
9529s	this okay
9535s	bullfin not bad either
9537s	wolfen not bad world leader and swamp
9540s	shark are both pairs
9544s	we'll take this wolf in however
9547s	uh opting to freeze that Tad
9551s	I was just changing minions stats okay
9553s	that's pretty
9555s	I don't know maybe play my looks my
9556s	mistake
9560s	got you
9562s	so max 7 key on the way will
9566s	quick get confirmation on what the rest
9568s	of the quests are because
9570s	it's such a pivotal moment when
9574s	you don't have a clear Contender
9576s	something like that Gallery week so that
9577s	Mill has those Heroes that can just
9579s	overwhelm just on the basis of their
9582s	Hero part alone you do end up relying on
9584s	your quest more often than none so
9590s	that being said
9592s	she actually has this triple lined up
9594s	and his hero power is to get a brand
9598s	grab some Miralax that rock pool likely
9601s	they tripled into a four trying to hit
9604s	Primal fin I'd assume able to buff up
9606s	this swamp Striker on the board
9609s	Gangnam Style did find a thorn collared
9611s	pair we'll continue to get gold from
9613s	that word on hold as well and honestly
9616s	not a bad fight actually for sexy I
9617s	thought he'd be losing pretty uh badly
9620s	here but it's fine photos right yeah
9623s	Dodgers almost all the damage only the
9626s	trickster remaining gonna take just five
9627s	here and his quest isn't too hard
9639s	oh penguin sun has a triple lined up
9641s	will he go for a five year the interval
9642s	is clean to level
9644s	our
9646s	yeah how much do you prioritize five
9648s	drops here because we see like no hogger
9650s	available which is the high priority
9651s	pick beasts out which is a very common
9654s	type that you want to hit five on uh do
9656s	you ever consider four here or maybe
9658s	even three to six
9661s	uh I would yeah I I wouldn't be
9664s	surprised to see the five skipped I
9666s	don't think you'd take a four just
9668s	because of how clean the gold works out
9670s	here sure but you could hero power if
9673s	you want to delay
9674s	uh but I think yeah it looks like
9676s	penguin sun will go for the five just
9678s	because of how that gold works out
9681s	um but like you said there are a lot of
9683s	fives missing this time corrupted Murman
9685s	on holy mackerel both options here
9687s	corrupted room and I'm gonna be the
9688s	pickup with that leotards parasol
9691s	available to buff up the health and a
9693s	lot of gems in hand do you get the stats
9695s	on that very big along with the golden
9697s	Thorn collar providing two gems a turn
9700s	that's big
9701s	and it looks like penguin Sun might be
9704s	playing for fives here anyways
9707s	uh with agum in mind it has a menagerie
9710s	board that thorn collar
9713s	even consistent gems and what really
9715s	keeps me off is the fact that he's
9717s	holding a couple gems here next turn he
9719s	will be able to sell that menager going
9722s	to fire and using his hero power to
9725s	discover a five drop
9727s	not needing those stats right now that's
9730s	a fantastic Point yeah yeah we saw
9732s	earlier the players just understand
9735s	exactly how much they need to invest
9737s	right there's no reason to use those
9740s	gemstone because look how big that
9741s	corrupted mermaid on is it's turns six
9743s	it'll be okay you know unlikely to get
9747s	sniped by poison with that stealth and
9750s	it does clean up and do nine to Sarah's
9753s	Finley
9756s	so will we see the level here
9759s	actually not even needing to sell the
9760s	mug with two coins in hand the word and
9762s	evolved giving that one extra
9764s	no I do like this one coin the other and
9768s	the Discover but doesn't hit the agum
9770s	it's a bristleback knight or a macro as
9773s	options unlikely to take the kangars
9775s	here
9777s	macro not bad at all if you can get that
9780s	Mech set up
9782s	or I mean indeed if you can hit the
9786s	um the agum anyway right it's not a bad
9788s	Mech to have to buff up uh if you're
9790s	going for that Menagerie comp absolutely
9793s	not
9794s	bristleback Knight a little bit harder
9796s	with more of those uh overs on board but
9800s	with the gems in hand
9803s	we'll provide another threat in the
9805s	meantime a sword has used his hero power
9807s	we didn't see what he tripled but he
9809s	also has a discover into five also
9811s	getting offered holy mackerel and
9813s	kangaroos but a baron to boot and this
9816s	discover will be that holy mackerel Alex
9820s	that really was not what he was looking
9821s	for at all was it this is now just a uh
9824s	a mad Scrabble to try and survive really
9829s	absolutely
9831s	and this entire board is all by one I
9834s	guess it's gonna get munched up at the
9836s	end of this turn actually
9837s	yeah with that brand and making use of
9840s	the demon interaction actually getting a
9842s	lot of stats on that picky either the
9844s	Mind mug also kicking in I believe we're
9848s	not gonna have great effect here
9856s	so it might be a little bit disappointed
9858s	that he didn't hit directional fives
9861s	especially with two discovers to be able
9863s	to
9865s	I hear a part but one more brand would
9868s	be that golden brand you know murloc
9870s	Lobby and pretty easy to transition with
9872s	golden brand because you have so much
9873s	econ in Max Seven Keys oh yeah look
9876s	active Mex in takes that holy mackerel
9880s	gonna just start to build up the boss of
9883s	this cookbook it's not one of those cuts
9884s	that comes online immediately but it is
9887s	strong
9889s	really nice hedge though here as well
9890s	from from Max 70 is this something you'd
9893s	expect that he would transition into
9895s	like a little bit of mechs as well
9898s	absolutely I love this play we've seen
9901s	it in the past games that these players
9903s	understand okay if I have a win
9905s	condition set up
9907s	oh zorg with an amazing play to sell his
9912s	whole board put down some poisons it's
9915s	gonna have Snicker snacks available to
9917s	proc uh some of these battle crys
9920s	including that reborn Primal fin that it
9922s	appears he got off of uh the
9925s	enhance-o-matic hero power
9927s	guaranteeing all those that's under that
9929s	bristle back night
9931s	I'm not entirely sure how that benefits
9933s	him but it's cool you know an extra 3-1
9935s	we're not going to turn it down
9938s	um yeah locally just taking the Primal
9940s	fin is a you know a good unit but then
9943s	yeah you take the reborn you know what
9945s	the heck nice little bonus
9948s	um that being said going back to what we
9950s	saw being played by Max 7 key Max 7 key
9954s	has that cooked book
9956s	as a win condition ready to be set up
9959s	and we'll see in this combat that he's
9962s	gonna be very strong of course this
9963s	bristleback Knight will clear stuff but
9966s	he's gonna be able to clear most of the
9968s	damage on zargo's board
9971s	and can focus in these intermediate
9974s	turns for the next you know
9976s	two three turns while he's focused on
9978s	just purchasing units actually
9981s	he's going to be fine uh Max 70 with a
9986s	slight win actually a girl not even that
9988s	slight you know nine damage put zorgo
9991s	underneath that damage cap yeah and to
9993s	be fair that's exactly why you play for
9996s	that strength right exactly yeah and
9998s	unfortunate roles there the uh zorgo did
10001s	manage to go down to below 15 that
10003s	wouldn't have happened most of the time
10004s	but you are correct to exclaim here as
10007s	this is a huge turnaround now for sword
10009s	who does need a good uh good game here
10012s	to pull himself back into contention to
10014s	put the lobby in check next game and a
10016s	golden brand for next turn is just such
10019s	a way to do so
10021s	and it's such a big pickup like I said
10023s	not hitting that second directional five
10027s	on any of those discoveries does level
10029s	and find the golden brand and with that
10033s	Snicker snack Quest available sword is
10035s	in a position to win this game that
10037s	picky eater will be very big in this mid
10040s	game and then he can make a very quick
10043s	transition to murloc's theator whatever
10045s	he wants really because it just provides
10048s	so much flexibility
10052s	there's my favorite dragon on the board
10054s	of Sarah
10057s	has a light Fang and theater buffing it
10059s	up Fancy with a pair as well also with
10062s	bran silent board toxfin available to
10065s	poison one of them England's son
10068s	discovering another eel-bound Archer
10070s	with epista and orgozoa so leaning into
10073s	that corrupted myrmidon that's been on
10074s	the board for a little bit now with some
10077s	scaling on his board
10081s	Sarah will be holding the theater for
10083s	now
10085s	Don young matching up into sword on the
10087s	vulden has leaned into the mech setup
10089s	with a green spot double deflector in a
10092s	pup butt but that foe Reaper gonna clear
10096s	off a decent chunk of the board that
10098s	picky eater just seems to be too much it
10101s	all know the deflecto going into the
10103s	lever it won't get a reset won't get
10105s	that additional grease spot scaling
10112s	so unfortunate yeah really really poor
10115s	results there for zanyang uh but how do
10117s	you see green Sports scaling at this
10119s	point in the game because it's the first
10120s	time we've seen it uh so far this
10122s	weekend I think in any real capacity uh
10125s	does it provide the scaling that can win
10127s	a lobby as we knew it could do back in
10129s	its prime
10130s	uh not on its own it can still be a
10134s	quality unit that you take in the mid
10136s	game but you can't rely it as your only
10139s	scaling engine
10141s	um it can be quite a bit better if you
10143s	do pair it with that macro they can get
10146s	multiple resets and of course deflective
10148s	can be that but with just two and the
10151s	resets it's a little bit harder because
10153s	we do see in that situation it does have
10156s	a tendency to get sniped at times uh
10159s	without too many taunts on board
10162s	is that I mean does Mark seven key
10164s	already have a golden brown I can't even
10166s	remember I don't think so I think that's
10167s	just a a regular brand yeah just an old
10171s	brand on the side of X7 key but very
10173s	nice with cooked book to generate extra
10176s	econ nugget in so shell collector
10178s	available Primal fin available as we see
10181s	picked up here if you had just that
10183s	extra money ah no poison available
10185s	though like if you could have picked
10187s	that I think he would have been in with
10188s	a shot of taking this one down but
10190s	without that I don't quite see it
10194s	happening for Max 70 here
10196s	yeah that tauntedly right looking to be
10200s	an issue for Max 75 the huge huge picky
10204s	eater and even that jug I'm gonna buff
10208s	up that four Reaper six six just on this
10210s	turn alone
10212s	with eating that light Fang buff that
10215s	cleave is gonna be a monster to deal
10217s	with and oh no investing
10220s	into that deflector that we know is
10223s	gonna go down
10227s	foreign
10230s	all right well let's see it man losing
10232s	this deflector is just so backbreaking
10234s	at this point because I mean it looks
10237s	close but then you just catch one more
10239s	glimpse of that over 100 Health picky
10243s	eater there which uh really doesn't feel
10245s	like an appropriate name at this point
10247s	because that has just been gobbling
10248s	anything that comes its way
10251s	absolutely
10252s	foreign
10262s	key at damage cap but able to take a
10265s	small hit as no one's been lethaled here
10268s	as we move into turn 11. hey there we go
10273s	so hitting one of our puzzle box and I
10278s	believe we both said yes on that one I
10280s	think so yeah so it does come to
10283s	fruition on game of four here penguin
10286s	Sun continuing to scale has that at this
10287s	uh likely to move out of that bristle
10290s	back Knight in Thorn color soon The
10292s	Thorn color do does provide two spells I
10295s	turn
10296s	to Aid this official scaling engine
10302s	it'll pick up the shell collectors to
10303s	spell as well
10305s	does sell out of it though I need to
10308s	play strong down below damage cap at 14.
10311s	keeping max strength on the board in the
10314s	form of that bristlebag night
10317s	here's a Razer fan geometer in this shop
10319s	which would provide one additional
10322s	l
10323s	for Max scaling this turn
10332s	yeah I don't really think
10335s	we're at the point where we can afford
10337s	to settle for just one more blood gem
10339s	okay I thought it was going to be the
10340s	point where you know we have to roll for
10342s	uh you know more device Shields beer
10345s	from the glow scale maybe a baron to
10347s	double down on this selfless hero uh but
10350s	Penguins sound happy to just take a
10352s	decent option uh as opposed to the risk
10354s	for a fantastic option
10356s	yeah and Happy might not be the perfect
10358s	way to describe it because you are right
10359s	he spent a lot of time thinking about it
10361s	he wasn't
10362s	super comfortable decision but decided
10366s	that on average it's best in it's hard
10368s	right you don't know what's in that next
10369s	shop and stuff those are the difficult
10371s	decisions but we just have to trust
10374s	these players you know understand that
10376s	and with no poisons on the board the
10378s	penguin Sun's gonna be fine yeah just
10380s	put the arm it on at 200 health
10383s	not gonna be
10386s	able to be cleared with the shields that
10388s	we've seen this far
10389s	yeah not quite it's close actually
10391s	though like this is a lot of damage
10393s	coming through from uh Divine Shields if
10395s	they've just been able to smack straight
10396s	into the moment
10399s	but with
10400s	in health remaining it will be 10 damage
10403s	going to Sarah Who falls down to five
10405s	and we have our first little and it's
10407s	sexy again
10411s	a disaster and she actually takes a
10414s	straight if
10416s	consecutive games started out so
10419s	fantastic
10421s	now anything but and things starting to
10424s	heat up now for Penguin Sound because he
10427s	just needs one and a half points to put
10430s	the lobby in check so if he goes out now
10432s	in untied seventh just him he will not
10436s	put the lobby in check but even if he
10438s	ties going out here he'll still be able
10440s	to do it so it's looking that much more
10443s	likely that he will be able to survive
10445s	through to put the lobby in check and it
10448s	will be Vigo that matches up into him
10450s	able to get the Divine shield and a
10452s	poison onto that amalgam has another
10454s	ball of Minions on the bird as well as
10456s	working for it providing sort of scaling
10458s	to the sport and it's an interesting
10459s	point you may and it makes us consider
10461s	that decision that he made in the last
10463s	fight
10464s	play maximum strength absolute
10468s	guaranteeing the win even though he
10471s	might have been able to find something
10472s	better might have been on his mind right
10474s	he knows that anything beyond that six
10477s	and a half isn't necessarily necessary
10479s	of course you want to pick up as many
10481s	points as possible but getting that
10483s	Lobby to check completely changes the
10485s	complexion of his tournament
10487s	and oh my goodness zorgo's hit Reno hero
10490s	power on the panda something we do not
10492s	see very often with that organ on board
10495s	could grab extra discovers hasn't used
10498s	yet he's gonna use it on the sofas
10499s	playing for the end game here right now
10501s	against Max 7 keep grabbing gold and
10503s	selfless and it's going to be penguin
10505s	Sun that we checked into this fight here
10507s	as he has the potential to put this
10510s	Lobby into check if he can win this
10511s	combat and if one of these other players
10514s	does go down here it's gonna be a tough
10516s	one though so much poison on the board
10518s	it's a really tough fight you just have
10520s	to hope that while the stealth is still
10521s	active they're able to battle against
10523s	each other but the Leroy misses this is
10525s	not good
10527s	this is potentially a disaster
10530s	[Music]
10534s	in this Shield I don't think I can
10536s	Shield the stealth so it's it's
10541s	survives lethal he survives he loses but
10545s	is alive zorgo however is not as he goes
10549s	down and that puts Penguins on into
10551s	check he's gonna be uncheck in the next
10553s	game and with his performance so far is
10555s	this gonna be a fast tournament
10557s	it's looking that way with uh one win in
10561s	subsequent games needed for penguins and
10563s	to win the tournament if he wins here uh
10565s	it still doesn't count because it's only
10567s	for subsequent games after you put the
10568s	lobby in check but a huge performance
10570s	from him so far he's done what he needed
10572s	to do and uh from this point on he knows
10576s	it makes no difference it's just about
10577s	keeping other players out of the danger
10580s	zone keeping the players on a high point
10582s	total away from check themselves yeah
10585s	how's money here if your penguin sun is
10587s	Max 7 key will look to put him out
10591s	have that cookbook working for him has a
10594s	pretty good Shop with a primal fin
10595s	available I did Toki into an Uther as
10599s	well as a manted
10602s	like we can pick up the Primal fin as
10604s	it's free with the brand and a murloc on
10606s	board as well as the minted providing
10609s	access to that Divine Shield poison
10613s	will he Uther it first just to maximize
10616s	those stats
10617s	looks like he will
10622s	grab any extra 10 10
10624s	by even
10626s	okay won't buy something first we'll
10628s	roll just to check nothing too
10630s	interesting will he just buy to
10632s	increment the cooked book or roll for
10634s	that Tech end game that he's looking for
10637s	oh there we go let's decide to roll and
10639s	find some really really nice pickups
10642s	might sell the brand here just to play
10644s	maximum strength
10647s	wanting to get penguin Sun out not
10650s	Advance his
10653s	planes lead any further of course
10654s	guaranteed to have the lobby in check
10656s	but
10657s	still lots of opportunity for everyone
10659s	else as long as penguin sun doesn't win
10662s	after this game
10663s	anyone's still in it that's right you
10666s	have penguins on this Victory doesn't
10667s	matter too much but Max 7 key this is
10670s	absolutely crucial because he is in
10672s	Stone Cold's last place right now at
10675s	four and a half points he needs to
10677s	survive this turn if he's realistically
10679s	going to have any chance of winning this
10681s	tournament
10682s	it looks like he will many poisons
10685s	remaining the Leroy ticking out that
10688s	final unit The Shield popped in so
10690s	penguin Sun is going to
10696s	uh yes okay
10699s	pause as he could have survived it does
10704s	go down
10707s	um
10708s	and it's going to be the curator doing
10713s	him so Vigo goes down Sarah goes down
10716s	penguin sun goes down
10718s	in a three-way tie
10721s	zanyang it's a random golden unit as he
10725s	faces off against the ghosts
10730s	to the well I say committed
10733s	committed to the max for now does pick
10735s	up a prime elephant for potential access
10738s	to poison later on although the golden
10740s	also would have given that access sword
10743s	with that golden brand has put together
10746s	a pretty competent board matched up into
10749s	max 7 key
10751s	relying on poison relax is gonna play
10754s	through the mug and likely the metal
10758s	tooth leaper as well
10761s	no
10763s	not taking it I'm just curious how much
10765s	he wants to invest into this bow Reaper
10768s	the answer is not that much yeah I do
10772s	like rolling here a little bit more we
10774s	want to find the the real late game
10776s	Powerhouse plays the you know again The
10778s	Usual Suspects I think Leroy selfless
10780s	Baron
10781s	um or even just some ways to continue
10782s	popping off with the murlocs here you
10784s	actually get a lot of value with that
10785s	still yeah and that's what he opts to do
10788s	by playing that murkai he has Snicker
10791s	Snipes procking two battle cards but he
10793s	has three battle cards on board with
10795s	that young Merc guy he's gonna guarantee
10797s	a ton of value from that Primal fin with
10800s	access to that uh indeed
10804s	young Mercury uh nice play as a brand
10806s	adding wind Cherry to this minted to
10809s	just optimize the chances that it does
10811s	get a Divine shield and it does missing
10815s	taunt and over hitting stats and shield
10817s	that's perfect outcome the max 7K not
10820s	going to make him susceptible to that
10821s	sleeve the deflector goes down to the
10823s	Leroy the macro survives but will go
10826s	down as those menaces disrupt the attack
10829s	order and it looks like Max 7K is gonna
10831s	handle this just fine
10834s	so we're at 28 Will Survive yeah just
10838s	about
10840s	a huge win though here for Max 7K as
10842s	again we said he was in absolute last
10845s	play zanyang surviving it just
10848s	wow as well yes yeah it is enough
10853s	but yeah very close and somebody just
10856s	have strong penguin sun was even in
10859s	depth almost able to take out zanyang
10861s	he's a huge Mech board
10863s	uh only seven total health remaining on
10866s	the board
10868s	that is worth saying as well that for
10869s	zanyang he needs specifically a first
10872s	place to put the lobby in check himself
10874s	which is still doable he's got a very
10877s	different path to the other two players
10878s	uh and do you see the the mech strategy
10882s	he's gone for here with the grease spot
10883s	being able to stand up to the high
10886s	amount of poison that the other two
10887s	players have gone for
10889s	yeah I'd say he got a really unfortunate
10891s	Shuffle of those stats but luckily his
10893s	virgin can kind of make up for that and
10896s	it looks like we'll see that happening
10898s	as that deflector went down to a 10-12
10901s	slightly problematic in this case the
10904s	macro also losing stats is a little bit
10908s	unfortunate but there's a lot of divine
10911s	Shields available he's going to add a
10913s	poison here
10914s	foreign
10916s	Shield cycle it and then end on this
10920s	Leroy
10925s	it actually just sells out of the bigger
10928s	and is he not going to so okay I was
10931s	gonna say this dude there there is in
10934s	argument I guess that you could make uh
10937s	for running another taunt to try and
10939s	distract
10940s	um you know provide a distraction for
10942s	any potential leroys or wind Furious on
10944s	the other side but this macro at 12 15
10947s	isn't a ton of value oh and we see micro
10952s	Mummy getting LED so trying to play very
10955s	safe here is Zhong young playing around
10957s	tunnel Blaster playing into the kangars
10961s	being able to summon stuff later and
10963s	maximize those resets but we see how big
10964s	that picky eater is we see how big that
10967s	wind Fury cleave is
10969s	this is going to be a tough out for
10971s	zanyang it's very funny as well to just
10974s	see the prime open Scout pocket or Miss
10977s	over and over again and just the picky
10979s	to getting bigger and bigger and bigger
10980s	every single time but let's see up
10983s	against the Divine Shields it's a real
10985s	backbreaker to lose the metal so early
10988s	and the reset's not there yet but
10993s	these hits is actually looking pretty
10996s	good somehow goes down and the poison is
11000s	left it can't die to the brand can he
11002s	clear the rest of the units with this
11004s	picking
11005s	I don't even go straight into it and he
11009s	survive you're gonna survive he will
11013s	have the deflector of two things he's
11016s	alive at one Health
11018s	oh my God what about this
11027s	I mean just amazingly well played by
11030s	zanyang using the leeway to play around
11032s	the cleave playing the micro mummy first
11036s	the kangaroo second optimizing those
11038s	resets like I said you could have had
11040s	the deflectives earlier but you put
11042s	yourself at risk of taunted Leroy's so
11045s	many you know different things that can
11047s	cause problems
11049s	but zanyang sees through it moves the
11052s	kangaroo sets over to a faux Reaper and
11054s	I'm curious what the cell is here are
11057s	you really I'm not sure everything has
11058s	such high value in this board
11063s	that deflects are definitely feeling
11064s	like at this point right be the macro
11068s	wow okay
11070s	wanting to run that tunnel Blaster again
11073s	with that micro mummy first they will
11075s	likely get resets on the deflectives
11077s	is he gonna play the full Reaper
11081s	so big surely that has to find a spot
11084s	yeah he does it is
11087s	wow I did not expect that
11091s	that was the one unit he was really
11093s	really looking for and so zanyang
11096s	playing this any game perfectly it's not
11099s	the conventional place but it's a place
11101s	that he is probably going to need to
11104s	make to have a chance here against Max
11106s	7k's cooked bookboard that looks
11108s	dangerous to huge taunted holy mackerels
11112s	2 large unsusceptible to Tunnel Blaster
11116s	Leroy is a big cleave of his own as well
11119s	as a deflective and Manton to match
11129s	disaster hits
11132s	a nice little cleave but the deflector
11136s	isn't gonna be able to clear through
11138s	both of these holy mackerels oh quite
11140s	yeah and with that Leroy able to survive
11145s	it's gonna be lethal so zanyang does go
11148s	down to Max 7 key and it will be sword
11150s	in Max 7K left in the top two as we go
11155s	to turn a 17. a brutal loss there for
11159s	zanyang he was so close to knocking out
11161s	sword in the previous round and needed
11164s	exactly a first place if he wanted to
11166s	put the lobby in check which is not
11167s	going to be the case now so I do think
11169s	that guarantees us with only penguin San
11171s	as the sole player putting the lobby in
11174s	check right now however sangyang still
11176s	puts himself in a great position to do
11178s	so next game and Max 7 if he can take
11181s	the win here again boosts himself up
11184s	considerably really back in the running
11186s	here with a strong performance now in
11188s	game four
11191s	and look how much money
11194s	sort of has in hand
11199s	what's he gonna do with it is he gonna
11201s	play through some of these stats with
11203s	that golden brand on board is it gonna
11205s	off to you oh and he placed the orgazoa
11208s	first looking for shield doesn't hit so
11211s	takes the shell collector which makes
11213s	money as a consolation a tad in the shop
11217s	we'll make sure that his hand gets
11219s	filled doesn't take the first had
11221s	another offered we'll pass that one as
11224s	well finds a module which is interesting
11227s	in the sense that there's a ball of
11230s	minions a toxfin
11232s	in hand
11234s	so he'd be able to create a Divine
11236s	shooting poison
11238s	but will it be enough
11241s	it is likely to be the play here the
11244s	Menace going down those summons able to
11246s	win some late game scenarios
11249s	occasionally pop some Divine Shields and
11251s	we're gonna end on this Leroy in front
11254s	against the macros we know this is very
11256s	good
11257s	other counted one up front with the wind
11259s	Fury is so we're gonna be able to take
11261s	this from Max Seven Keys grip it's
11264s	looking good right now hey
11266s	very good in the first one straight into
11268s	the macro
11270s	the second one takes out demanded
11273s	and the cleave will take out the shield
11275s	there's no more resets
11278s	I say that but yeah there's no more
11280s	resets that will go off so the macro
11282s	goes down and with the poison and the
11284s	pinky eater I think that sword has
11286s	enough to get the wind
11288s	but very unlikely to get a lethal unless
11295s	unless
11297s	okay he's on sick
11303s	oh
11305s	my goodness sword rolls up the sleeves
11309s	because he's done it he's done with the
11310s	work he takes the game x7k looked like
11314s	he had a faded win what an insane game
11319s	there ow I can't believe it
11323s	yeah wow
11324s	truly something else I mean I mean take
11327s	us through it what was like the genius
11328s	of Swords play at the end though
11330s	I mean put his Libras in front knowing
11333s	exactly what he had to play around
11334s	having that four Reaper third to clear
11337s	up anything it ended up dying to the
11340s	Leroy but killing that Leroy is vital
11342s	there yeah every unit matters and he
11345s	just made the most of using all the
11348s	utility the shields the poison adding
11351s	the menaces and it's so so good
11355s	and wait was that a dragon on the board
11357s	was that the dragon on the board for me
11359s	oh it was wasn't it dragons were banned
11363s	but it's okay I got my puzzle box points
11367s	it's yeah okay I suppose I do
11370s	technically have to concede to the rules
11372s	I mean it's not up to me I could see it
11373s	or not concede as I like I can call it
11375s	rigged it's over no matter how I like it
11377s	but yes congratulations ball of minions
11379s	getting the job done in the most
11381s	perfunctory sense dragons have
11382s	technically now won a Lobby here but I'm
11385s	happy as well because IG sword was my
11387s	pick to the bandwagon on that one and he
11389s	does manage to take down the lobby which
11391s	puts him right back up towards the top
11394s	right he was at uh nine beforehand and
11397s	now is very very likely to put the lobby
11399s	in check in the subsequent game uh but
11402s	while we are focusing on sword and that
11403s	gorgeous end game that he showed us
11405s	there the real man of the hour is
11408s	Penguin Sound right putting the lobby in
11410s	check means he is on the cusp of a
11412s	victory and taking down the last the
11415s	legends of the Year absolutely just
11418s	fantastic performances this game we saw
11421s	the first three playing for those top
11423s	two positions here didn't need it just
11426s	needed a few points to guarantee that he
11427s	put the lobby and check well no one else
11430s	is in so he has a free game to try and
11433s	go for a first without fear of any
11436s	downside
11438s	Sarah sword also in position to put the
11442s	lobby into check very soon and that's
11445s	the big moment all the players are going
11447s	to be aiming to take penguin sun down so
11449s	it's going to be a difficult task for
11451s	him and if those other players even a
11454s	couple of them can get the lobbying to
11456s	try we'll have a free-for-all pretty
11458s	soon
11459s	oh I cannot wait either way it'll be
11462s	exciting if penguin Sun could take it
11463s	down the first game of it being in check
11465s	that'd be hype if the other players can
11467s	claw their way in there that would
11468s	obviously be sick as well but we're
11471s	gonna have to go to a short break before
11472s	we uh arrive at the thrilling conclusion
11475s	of this premium Battlegrounds tournament
11478s	so when we come back potentially the
11480s	last game here in lobby Legends
11483s	wintervale we'll see you then
11488s	[Music]
11496s	foreign
11498s	[Music]

11686s	while the tavern may be getting chillier
11689s	the action is just starting to heat up
11691s	here at Lobby Legends winter veil with
11694s	us having the lobby in check thanks to
11697s	penguins and his absolutely pristine
11700s	play both in this Lobby Legends and of
11702s	course continuing over from all his
11704s	previous performances uh what would you
11707s	favor his chances as right now are you
11709s	thinking feeling confident in him taking
11711s	the win here
11713s	uh I mean he definitely has the ability
11716s	to but I'm gonna say no these players
11720s	know what's on the line it's that
11722s	doubled prize Bowl there's a lot at
11724s	stake and at this level you can kind of
11728s	play two games at once right play your
11730s	own game but also play to really Target
11733s	penguin sun down
11734s	he does have the only
11737s	you know check balance but he's also the
11740s	only player with the Target on his back
11742s	everyone else is going to be gunning for
11744s	him and trying to take him out and he's
11745s	a play through that obstacle as well and
11749s	that's really really difficult but if
11751s	the stars align it's certainly possible
11754s	sometimes you just have one of those
11756s	destined games and as we've seen so far
11759s	he's been crushing it he looks so good
11761s	everything that he sets out to do even
11764s	if that's just get a few points on board
11765s	he's done it and so we'll see if he can
11769s	finish the job here or if we'll have a
11771s	more exciting climax like the climax of
11773s	that last game oh yeah I'm saying so far
11776s	and if he doesn't manage to take the win
11778s	there's a lot of players nipping at his
11780s	heels waiting to put the lobby in check
11782s	with zanyang Sarah and his aichi sword
11784s	all very narrowly behind but they're not
11787s	you know
11788s	he's saying check format you're never
11790s	truly out
11791s	but realistically you know if you're at
11793s	like one point at the end you know you
11795s	are basically out of the running in this
11797s	instance though I do truly mean no one
11799s	is out anyone everyone has a reasonable
11802s	shot at taking this game with 11 and a
11803s	half ten and a half nine and a half and
11805s	nine points for shaksi Max zorg and Vigo
11808s	respectively you know two good games and
11811s	they're on equal footing to the rest of
11813s	the field it's definitely not impossible
11816s	absolutely and I mean we saw yesterday
11819s	how good all these players are uh the
11822s	stats Lorena has some stats penguin sun
11825s	has hit 17 of his first places that is
11828s	an insane rate when you're talking about
11832s	playing at the lobby Legends level right
11835s	this isn't ladder we're hitting 20 25
11838s	even 30 percent of first Sometimes for
11840s	these top players is completely
11842s	reasonable this is even footing to
11845s	outperform that much shows how skilled
11848s	of a player he is he's hit number one on
11850s	leaderboards before I mean he's got all
11852s	the accolades you could ask for except
11854s	for a Lobby Legends Victory he's gonna
11856s	be looking for that one tonight
11859s	is uh but one player who's going to be
11861s	looking for something very specific with
11863s	a completely different uh journey
11866s	through today than the rest of the
11867s	players uh is jaxy who's firmly in the
11869s	middle of the leaderboard with 11 and a
11871s	half points right now uh but he got that
11873s	many points after game two he has spent
11876s	two games doing absolutely nothing with
11879s	two eights play uh eighth places in a
11881s	row
11882s	have you noticed anything that's gone
11884s	wrong for Shakti to lead for uh to two
11886s	such terrible results and is there
11889s	anything he could do to turn that around
11891s	I mean the brain game looked tough but I
11894s	would have loved to get a little bit
11895s	more insight into you know his thoughts
11898s	on that malagos pick like I said I was
11899s	very surprised I thought Snead or Gail
11901s	Wing you know more consistent options
11903s	went for the maligos and I'm wondering
11905s	if he just had a specific idea in mind
11908s	which we do see these players sometimes
11910s	have when they're making these hero
11912s	selections but sometimes it just doesn't
11913s	work out it's not suited for The Meta of
11916s	the event that they're playing in or
11917s	that game specifically and we'll see
11920s	again here uh these players making those
11923s	same choices Gail Wing in fact an option
11925s	for Penguins on looking for that win
11927s	also offered togwago Phelan and Sylvanas
11930s	windrunner I'd rule out Sylvanas
11931s	windrunner but any of these other Heroes
11933s	can pick up a first place
11936s	it's going to be the togwuggle instead
11938s	of going
11940s	is that a traditionally first place kind
11943s	of hero if that's a valid description
11946s	uh I we did see it get out of first
11949s	place yesterday but it was on the back
11950s	of hogger cooked book
11953s	um there aren't Pirates or mechs
11954s	available in this game there are murlocs
11956s	and it's gonna be a stat murloc outcome
11960s	and so I'm very curious to see how
11962s	penguin Sun Pilots this tagwago with
11964s	that in mind we have Max 7 key on the
11967s	sir denaturius a token sir and a quest
11971s	selection to begin between oh hidden
11976s	treasure Vault it's very interesting
11977s	this early
11978s	that's got to be the treasure Vault
11980s	right
11982s	some intent is going to be a bit harder
11984s	with
11986s	out the beasts next and Pirates
11989s	available but there is
11991s	okay wow he picked the taste yeah he
11994s	goes for the Tasties I was gonna say
11996s	there is that imprisoner in the shop and
11999s	you could play that to kind of
12000s	accelerate that 10 Millions on the hit
12002s	involved
12003s	um I do really like that Quest when you
12005s	are able to complete it early but uh Max
12009s	7q rather going for the randomness of
12012s	the yog-tastic Tasties
12014s	and you can see why there was a seller
12016s	mental plus another demon in the shop
12017s	already so he has a huge amount of
12020s	ability to Turbo through that Quest
12023s	yeah also providing a lot of value like
12026s	most quests do if you are able to
12027s	complete it early in zorgo uh able to
12031s	set up a settlemental well I should say
12034s	water droplet pair with the supplemental
12035s	in hand
12037s	matching up into max 7 Keys Sawyer will
12040s	hold both for the moment
12044s	and uh potentially waiting for the quest
12046s	but it's two turns away
12049s	speaking of scabs as well because we
12050s	haven't actually seen too much from him
12052s	on a scale from one to ten how would you
12054s	guess zorgi's feeling about having made
12056s	this pick uh of scabs
12059s	I mean not perfect it's probably not the
12060s	best here in the game right now but it
12062s	has a ton of potential especially again
12065s	with access to a secret sinstone Quest
12069s	we didn't see oh yeah but he had but
12071s	when do you take the hero you do
12073s	consider that
12074s	um just the ability to get that Quest
12076s	because it's so powerful makes any of
12079s	those Heroes much better with him
12080s	already a two out of three I'm positive
12082s	it's not that secret since Sun Quest so
12084s	we'll see how he goes through he will be
12087s	matching up to you Sarah who was on the
12089s	gov
12091s	um sword
12092s	opted to hero power the water droplet on
12095s	turn one
12097s	has leveled
12099s	but now he doesn't have the best units
12102s	available does freeze for very nice shop
12105s	there
12106s	um regardless of what you hit on Quest
12108s	there's a lot of potential in that shot
12111s	she actually did go three on three on
12112s	there another hero that we haven't seen
12115s	Another Hero that does have access to
12118s	that secret Stone I didn't catch the
12120s	quest there but also very interesting
12124s	foreign
12125s	also gonna hold again so really holding
12129s	the droplet in this Elemental for two
12131s	turns just for the opportunity of
12136s	her guessing his quest
12141s	is our engine to turn forward
12143s	yeah getting a look at the quests here
12145s	remember everyone including myself here
12147s	reminding me to get your bandwagon picks
12150s	in if you haven't yet after seeing the
12152s	quests looking for Elementals or minions
12155s	to be played here for Zork it doesn't
12157s	get any of those though but snap picks
12160s	the hammer yeah with nagas to be played
12162s	has a shell collector in shop and the
12164s	shell collector he's held to help
12166s	progress that Enemy Lines up a
12168s	settlemental triple now we're talking
12173s	and you know with that with the pears
12175s	with golden Hammer available
12178s	I I'm thinking we're gonna see a nice
12181s	Victory first Olivia here he's my
12183s	bandwagon pick once again it didn't work
12185s	out as well last time but I I think he
12189s	can do it the failing game was closed he
12191s	had
12192s	he had chances but just ran into the
12195s	Monstrous Board of penguins on spill for
12197s	lamps
12198s	I will say before we pick I would like a
12201s	look at zanyang to see what minions he
12203s	has managed to accrue on the oh and he's
12209s	taking him
12211s	going for Dragons again this is going to
12215s	be a stat oriented Lobby right murlocs
12218s	available as well
12220s	the other player I would look at and I'm
12223s	not confident choosing him just yet but
12225s	sword with this need
12227s	you do win a lot of poison end game
12230s	mirrors with those additional summons
12231s	occasionally you can
12234s	hero power a six drop and find some
12236s	leroys
12243s	only hit theatar's parasol
12248s	foreign
12254s	Alex I don't think not what he was
12256s	hoping to uh hit but probably just the
12259s	easiest to complete and it looks like
12263s	sword did take one of those Cliff
12265s	Guardians along with the Menagerie Mark
12266s	buffing up three
12268s	uh different minion types doing a seven
12271s	damage to vigo's Brand here
12274s	does have a couple battle cries picks up
12277s	one more and didn't opt to stay on one
12280s	no Pirates no quill were and no beasts
12284s	didn't want to stay on one too long and
12287s	just leveled right away but hey if you
12289s	look at his friend here though yeah he
12291s	does and if you're looking to lose all
12293s	toy combats this is a board that will do
12295s	that quite handily as this is not a high
12297s	Tempo start by any stretch of the
12299s	imagination exactly and because
12302s	it's only two he's gonna be able to get
12305s	that hidden treasure Vault very early
12307s	and Vigo might be in a spot where he
12310s	could have a very high finish this game
12312s	again bran murlocs in and a lot of gold
12316s	to work with because he's gonna finish
12318s	this Quest very quickly
12322s	in fact I'm regretting my bandwagon pick
12324s	already
12326s	well I ended up on penguinsan mainly
12329s	just because I feel like he's the player
12330s	most likely to go specifically for that
12333s	first given it's the only result that
12334s	matters for him and it looks like he's
12337s	still cries yeah and he might complete
12341s	it right now
12342s	we don't see what the questions were oh
12345s	this is a dragon setup she actually with
12348s	a teragosa and demons
12350s	I believe penguin sand did have play six
12353s	Battleground minions and it was for
12354s	enhancer meccano which is oh which is a
12358s	super
12359s	pretty big
12361s	if he can find this Divine Shield
12363s	Enchanted
12366s	force them on the Miralax early oh
12368s	that's spicy very hard to contend with
12371s	and he's got it already which means he's
12372s	gonna have a lot of turns to build up
12375s	those
12377s	Divine Shields yeah there it is oh my
12381s	goodness you're right and your bandwagon
12383s	pick could be right as well
12386s	I'm liking where it's headed right now
12388s	does get a Divine Shield right away
12390s	that's so sick
12396s	so now penguin sun has a very clear game
12398s	plan
12399s	and murlocs find poison
12402s	and buff them up out of control
12412s	these other players are gonna be coming
12413s	for him
12415s	he does pick up the honcho off we'll
12418s	hold and you can see him just
12420s	immediately committing that Divine
12422s	Shield onto the murloc knowing it's
12423s	gonna be safe to put it there any poison
12426s	can be played on it later and getting
12428s	that five five buff just such a strong
12430s	Tempo option here on turn six it's not
12434s	that he just has future potential he's
12437s	strong right now he's gonna have health
12439s	to work with
12440s	zargo did triple the water droplet into
12444s	a five it was for a murazon hits another
12448s	tiragosa
12451s	hero Powers finds Legion overseer we'll
12453s	take that playing the
12456s	while I'm sorry peer down onto the dozy
12458s	well buffing up that hill trying to get
12460s	a little bit more attack as he battles
12462s	into shaksi's alexstrasza which we know
12464s	features a very high health taragoza
12469s	zargo just missing getting off that
12470s	spell craft as well uh yeah he doesn't
12474s	have the quest to lose combats either so
12476s	I don't need any reason to do so for
12478s	that he's gonna be losing it
12481s	and doesn't win as both terriers have
12485s	survive taking 10 going down to 23. that
12488s	hurts legally going down to 24.
12492s	and penguin sun is able to even deal
12495s	with the high Tempo Board of sword
12501s	uh if you can deal with the sword board
12502s	you're laughing
12505s	yeah oh man and this is getting it tense
12508s	he's goes before early
12511s	he's gonna be looking for toxin
12514s	yeah I don't
12517s	think you can afford to spend the matter
12519s	right now on selfless right like it
12521s	would be good for the future if you are
12522s	going for poison scam but
12525s	I don't know it feels a little bit
12527s	underwhelming right now
12529s	absolutely and since we have a moment
12532s	the other Quest it looks like
12536s	uh Max 7K did find cooked book but again
12540s	not as valuable
12542s	uh without Mex without Pirates and he
12546s	does have that yog-tastic Tasties but
12548s	it's gonna be tough and he doesn't have
12550s	it completed yet zanyang on the Galaxy
12554s	has yogtastic Tasties as well freezing a
12558s	faceless disciples taxi with that
12560s	theater's parasol has buffed up the
12563s	terror gives us once each has a very
12565s	nice setup with the double nether Drake
12567s	along with the Welsh microwave that's a
12568s	ton of stats on this board and that
12570s	theaters parasol also going to buff up
12572s	the health on that Chrome Wing has a
12574s	very strong early staff board am I
12576s	catching up in the Penguin's son who has
12578s	oh just a lot of stats and shields
12581s	himself dragon's coming in clutch we
12583s	have like two players going hard in on
12585s	dragons and a couple others kind of
12587s	taking into it a little bit along the
12588s	way it's very very interesting to see
12591s	here's the matchup this is gonna be a
12593s	close one a lot of Health for shaxy's
12595s	dragons and very desperately wanting to
12599s	do a lot of damaged Penguins on early
12601s	here but breeds do not look good as Bull
12603s	Terriers just go into Shields at the
12606s	start and then
12607s	I'll end up getting a shield immediately
12610s	it's a tough break for Shack see that
12613s	chroma link does
12614s	remain feels getting popped off on that
12617s	honcho and it's just barely gonna be
12619s	enough
12620s	unfortunately it's not a ton of damage
12621s	but just a Crow Wing surviving but six
12623s	in
12624s	to penguin Sun he'll take it zorgo let's
12628s	find a very early calicos but it's down
12630s	to 12 health
12634s	his quest was played eight nagar demons
12638s	but I'm like
12640s	I'm sorry to interrupt you chance no go
12642s	ahead we talk about uh calagos being
12645s	weak in terms of late game scaling right
12647s	it doesn't give you enough capability to
12649s	outclass uh Pirates or demons once the
12652s	failbats come online but is it good
12654s	enough in situations exactly like this
12656s	where you just need to survive a turn or
12658s	two with a high Tempo option
12661s	it is relatively better early because it
12665s	does have that very high Health doodle
12666s	and we saw on shaksi's board you know
12669s	the taragoza's having that sort of stat
12671s	line can do a lot in these early fights
12675s	um especially if zorkids able to scale
12678s	it up a little bit I mean he has a
12679s	couple dragons on board so these battle
12680s	crys aren't unreasonable but will it be
12684s	enough he's also going to practice Quest
12687s	here right zanyang with Calculus as well
12690s	this is wild what is that like it's all
12693s	tournament we see two back to back
12698s	so we're good looking to practice Quest
12700s	has
12701s	that eighth minion played
12704s	um let's have a golden Hammer with that
12709s	Cali is gonna play it on the corrupted
12712s	murmidon yeah that's maximum strength
12715s	here just trying to be as strong as
12717s	possible puts that attack to balance out
12720s	the stats on the calendars
12722s	and we'll walk into this fight with Max
12725s	7K who's also very low but has a 30 or
12729s	41 trickster and we're think immediately
12732s	gets oh that's oh and disaster for zorgo
12737s	as the molten rock eats up all the
12740s	health the poison doesn't die but oh
12742s	it'll be okay
12744s	survives and unfortunately while the
12748s	Crypton moving on survives Max 7K will
12751s	not he takes a perfect lead on turn
12753s	eight
12754s	unbelievable what an outcome for Zork as
12757s	the dream stays alive for him to put the
12759s	lobby in check but for Max it's another
12762s	disastrous result cementing his spot
12765s	towards the bottom of the leaderboard
12767s	now but for Zork we need to see this
12769s	turn around and after what you'd have to
12772s	guess will be a golden calagos there it
12774s	is yeah he can actually kind of start to
12777s	scale at least in a mid-game sense if
12779s	not in a Lobby winning sense
12781s	and I was gonna say he could have
12783s	considered picking up the bronze pardon
12785s	but will pass it finds a premium Battle
12787s	Cry Oh that's Twilight Emissary buffing
12789s	up some of his dragons on board as well
12793s	finds a few more but The Jug most
12795s	importantly shining uh in kin and on
12799s	this Leroy as well
12801s	I'm sure it's our goodness what's his
12803s	sake for the whole Lobby zorgo not with
12806s	the highest point total definitely
12808s	doesn't want penguin sun to end this
12809s	tournament early
12811s	so I'd fully expect to see a triple cell
12814s	here and it's gonna be
12817s	the corrupted murmidon instead of the
12820s	Twilight emissary
12822s	um zorgo balancing
12824s	the realities of the future needing that
12828s	scaling and the present needing the
12831s	stats to try and be Penguins on Sport
12833s	and we see Penguins on picking up
12835s	another Divine Shield
12837s	on this cold lights here as he did
12841s	finally find poison for this honcho so
12843s	has the first Divine Shield poison
12845s	secured
12848s	couple other defined shields on board
12850s	that because of that plus five five buff
12852s	just do so much and I like what we're
12855s	seeing from penguin Sun that he is going
12857s	for these plays that are immediately
12859s	quite weak but this is not an ideal
12861s	minion to put Divine shield on but it's
12864s	got that first place in Mind by uh
12866s	setting up for the next toxpin being
12868s	able to put him in a very very strong
12870s	position this is a Lobby winning kind of
12872s	play
12873s	Darko will be fine but did lose that
12875s	calgos to the poison immediately and
12877s	unfortunately that's a lot of damage
12879s	taken off the board penguin's son will
12882s	take 11 here five from the scabs one
12886s	from the picky during five from the
12887s	murrah's land
12889s	zanyang with the calgos bird of his own
12892s	as well as a pair of Terex and a prize
12896s	promo Drake
12898s	does Skip One ball of minions of course
12901s	the other does have it finds a second
12903s	calendars
12905s	this is unbelievable we'll take that
12910s	so we've got three players comfortably
12913s	playing Dragons of all things I didn't
12916s	think it was possible
12918s	oh we didn't get to see what six drop he
12920s	was gonna get off that face was just
12922s	like wait a second
12929s	didn't find Nadine on that third but
12931s	does have another trouble here in the
12933s	promoing before he plays this last unit
12935s	down doesn't hit young murkai at this I
12938s	fell about the options takes the young
12939s	murakai quickly will play this Terror
12942s	ghost down for maximum strength maximum
12944s	scaling on both the taragosas and the
12946s	razor Gore
12948s	and this is where things get very
12950s	interesting right because dragons as you
12952s	pointed out their real hidden strength
12954s	that keeps them from being complete
12955s	trash is that why does sword have a
12958s	Golden Razor Gore what what is happening
12961s	interesting I'm so lost and so confused
12964s	when did dragons become the best minion
12967s	type in the game
12968s	between game four and five apparently I
12972s	did the players like message each other
12974s	and say hey let's throw a loop to these
12976s	well monsters they're gonna have no idea
12978s	what's going on I mean to be fair this
12980s	is actually the first game where dragons
12981s	have been in the pool they've been out
12984s	every other game so far so maybe the uh
12986s	the patch that we had the other day had
12988s	the hidden effects of making dragons
12989s	just the best minion type in the game as
12992s	as soon as they are legal to be played
12994s	they're just sweeping this Lobby top to
12996s	bottom
12997s	yeah apparently I was under reading them
13000s	this whole time as we have six uh six
13004s	players playing Dragons six out of eight
13006s	nine
13010s	I I just I don't understand I mean
13013s	you can see right here on the goth
13016s	playing Dragons
13019s	has a pretty solid setup but will not
13023s	have an art will
13025s	there is a breakpoint here actually this
13028s	Reservoir survives oh but it goes into
13031s	the razor first and so we'll just barely
13034s	lose to the bronze word in of uh the
13039s	Vigo
13041s	and So speaking of lots of players going
13043s	for Dragons how do you think that will
13045s	fare for
13047s	um
13048s	Penguin Sound going for poisons and
13050s	divine Shields mostly does that stack up
13052s	well against dragons
13054s	it doesn't because dragons have access
13056s	to a lot of interesting tech one of the
13059s	reasons dragons are weak is because they
13061s	have to balance that right they have to
13064s	keep in mind that hey nadina is an
13066s	insanely strong card
13068s	providing Shield to your whole board
13070s	yeah the form of just one unit and so
13074s	it's gonna be tough after media is also
13076s	an option for them to tuck in later
13079s	uh but we have our Bears blessing
13080s	between two of our Dragon boards uh one
13083s	featuring a golden calgos one featuring
13085s	a golden tiragosa along with a couple of
13087s	nether Drakes
13088s	uh on Shaky's side
13091s	oh it's close isn't it like obviously if
13094s	this uh taragoza goes straight into the
13097s	Leroy that's going to be lights out for
13099s	shaksi but if that doesn't happen it's
13103s	kind of close
13106s	yeah it does seem like sexy is just
13109s	perhaps too reliant in two units but
13112s	yeah I mean so that brings the RNG into
13115s	it and he does have a minted in hand he
13117s	could consider ending on the Mantis and
13119s	he will uh oh he's gonna add a poison
13122s	poison as well okay that turns things
13125s	around a little bit
13127s	it does
13129s	oh it's gonna be tight really where this
13132s	uh taragosa goes on the first hit uh is
13135s	going to be razor thin
13138s	are you changing your pic I did I did I
13141s	had the poison of the mantle oh for me
13144s	no shame absolutely shame
13152s	it's a disaster so is everyone plays the
13156s	white man to try and counter some of
13158s	this but it causes the promo Drake to
13160s	get taunted and eat
13162s	the uh the Leroy in sexy does take it my
13166s	my
13167s	shifting faiths are rewarded
13170s	uh as zorku goes down
13175s	speaking of going down
13177s	penguin sun will take out you wait
13182s	that's exactly the King has been
13185s	dethroned a perfect lethal here on turn
13187s	11. penguin sun goes down and now this
13190s	tourney is heating up
13191s	how things start to get interested with
13193s	Penguin Sound going down
13195s	he's got four calicos on board
13200s	oh my goodness
13203s	this is an amazing game and who said
13207s	dragons don't have scaling I did and I I
13210s	uh eating crow now
13213s	oh my goodness
13216s	beautiful play we're gonna see zanyang
13219s	pick up the tunnel Blaster does have
13221s	that Leroy on board which is a little
13222s	bit of an anti-synergistic situation but
13224s	could lead with the Leroy if he wants to
13227s	try and get value out of it
13230s	um looks like he's gonna use it as
13232s	potential cleave protection
13238s	Sarah has moved away from too many
13241s	dragons sort of shifting into a hybrid
13243s	comp with a couple poison Rolex on board
13244s	as well Vigo with that nadina and only a
13247s	single cow gives pales in comparison to
13250s	a couple of players who have golden
13252s	calicus on board
13254s	um zargo had that pseudo golden calgus
13256s	with golden Hammer
13260s	it's actually just getting by with these
13262s	uh chiragosas and promo Drake's
13265s	opting not to double buff the golden
13267s	tear and that is a really interesting
13269s	decision because again it comes back to
13271s	a repeated theme that we've seen of not
13273s	over investing into units right the
13275s	territosis for now is enough to clear
13279s	most units on any board and so opting to
13283s	double buff the smaller one even out the
13285s	relevant units on board to have a better
13287s	chance than these combats
13290s	oh uses the promo Drake to buff up the
13292s	Leroy I love it yeah very nice really
13295s	great decision there
13298s	um
13299s	are you guys come into a small poison
13302s	now it comes down to the stats but again
13304s	this golden character is just huge the
13307s	glyph Guardian remains
13309s	enough to clear it but there isn't
13311s	enough to clear the rest and so it will
13314s	be
13318s	yeah a lethal of sword and so zanyang
13321s	takes sword out and moves one step
13324s	closer to putting the lobby and check
13325s	himself
13327s	how much was sawed on heading into this
13330s	Lobby he was at 16 which means going
13333s	down there in fifth is
13336s	one off because he gets three points for
13339s	that right instead of the four that he
13341s	needed which is a real Heartbreaker
13347s	so zanyang up against Vigo now
13350s	simply levels
13353s	that's it
13354s	just levels and passes absolute Giga
13358s	Chad plays he just he just was like I
13360s	kind of need a breather you see I'm just
13362s	kind of pivoting it
13364s	Sarah again has moved out of another one
13368s	of the Dragons Pew remain
13371s	now three murlocs in place also has that
13375s	enhance-o-matic reborn cemented a huge
13379s	benefit of this Quest is being able to
13381s	reborn mantis and levers that respawn
13384s	with that poison tag or of course with
13387s	that death rattle
13388s	making it very very difficult to beat
13391s	boards that feature them
13393s	and why uh only a single selfless am I
13396s	crazy for wanting to see the mounted B
13398s	wind Fury there though just because then
13400s	it has the higher chance of a Divine
13402s	shield on the first iteration
13405s	it's not crazy at all but I think with
13408s	the buff he just wants to make sure that
13410s	that selfless dies it is likely to sort
13414s	of provide the same value but there's an
13416s	argument that if you wanted to play for
13418s	a little bit more upside
13420s	uh
13421s	that that you know that's absolutely the
13423s	case Sarah it's 17.
13426s	somewhat at risk of dying but not
13428s	entirely can definitely take a hit if
13431s	you know both of these tariffs live or
13433s	something like that
13439s	likely it's going to be this razor where
13441s	this is the next unit to go but it's a
13443s	punish
13443s	the Manta doesn't get Divine Shield here
13446s	yeah that's pretty brutal that can make
13448s	a big difference I mean just look at all
13451s	these Divine Shields this is exactly
13452s	what you talked about when dragons start
13454s	to take off the Medina really makes
13456s	things go crazy
13458s	absolutely Divine Shield
13461s	upstairs for it
13462s	not too shabby is this going to be
13465s	enough the poison clear let me think and
13467s	this is exactly it so we saw this
13469s	selfless actually need that wintry to go
13471s	off as well but
13473s	uh regardless
13476s	Sarah stays alive he's at eight health
13478s	I'm the guy from Eco with seven zanyang
13481s	at six now on tier six Euro
13485s	characteristics looking for that nadina
13487s	doesn't hit it
13490s	and actually rolling past battlecrest at
13493s	this point because that nadina at this
13495s	point is vital to being able to progress
13498s	from this stage the scaling is great
13500s	without those Shields you're gonna lose
13504s	to the players that do have their
13505s	Shields and certainly a few other
13508s	players do
13509s	taxi being one of them with an Edina
13512s	those terrics filled it up this time
13518s	and now without that Medina to be found
13521s	we'll just take the battle Christ that
13523s	Zion can find
13526s	we will probably see taunt on this Leroy
13529s	which if shakshi does lead with his
13531s	taragosa which it looks like he will
13532s	trying to maximize value would be a huge
13536s	spoon for zanyang trying to survive this
13538s	fight that makes sense so that's why he
13540s	went for the Anglo because he picked it
13542s	over at Glasgow which I was pretty
13543s	surprised about at this thought but now
13545s	you lay out I mean that's a huge
13547s	difference maker like imagine if this
13548s	taragoza just slams straight into a
13550s	LeRoy for example
13552s	yeah and again I mean those Divine
13554s	fields at this stage of the game that's
13556s	the top of Zhong Young's mind he was you
13559s	know looking for the nadina and then
13561s	once you miss you have to you know take
13563s	Plan B and that is to you know use that
13565s	Lee raising out to try and even up that
13568s	Shield count
13573s	oh dozens itself
13577s	oh interesting rough decision
13581s	off and then it doesn't get extra value
13583s	then small cow just goes into the poison
13585s	and this is actually shaping up to be a
13588s	very good fight for zanyang
13590s	well the Manta takes out the Leroy
13593s	though and that is not good the Cali
13596s	goes too big it goes down and Shacks
13599s	these terrigosa survive and will put out
13601s	zanyang Sarah going down as well so it
13604s	comes down to Vigo and shaxby Shacks he
13606s	had 38 Health on the Alex Strazza did
13610s	taxi know this was gonna be a dragon
13611s	game was he like oh Ali dragons dragons
13614s	here like got it I'll just pick up the
13617s	Alex this is an easy 38 Health win no
13620s	problem no sweat
13622s	however there's some big results here
13624s	though with the
13626s	error going down in joint third that was
13629s	right that puts him in with uh just
13631s	enough points being able to qualify
13632s	through uh to put the lobby in check
13636s	Shacks he won't be able to do so nor
13638s	will be go so I think it's getting very
13640s	interesting now as both players really
13642s	wanting that first place that extra
13644s	point will make a huge amount of
13646s	difference as to whether or not they'll
13647s	be able to put the lobby in check next
13649s	round
13652s	yeah and zanyang with the lobby in check
13655s	too so we're gonna have
13657s	uh
13658s	three three players with the lobby three
13661s	players I don't think sword I think
13662s	sword's a point short he's one-off yeah
13665s	yeah
13666s	so three players and again once you
13669s	start to have multiple players with the
13671s	lobby and check things really really
13674s	start to change because you can't just
13676s	Target one person like penguins on
13678s	seemingly was this the only player to
13681s	not buy in to the dragons
13686s	um max 7 key obviously going in eighth
13688s	the only other player that didn't find
13689s	the dragon so it wasn't good tidings for
13692s	anyone that passed up
13695s	uh yeah you're right actually Max 70
13697s	year not going for the the dragons I
13699s	mean I have a lot to say about penguin
13700s	certain because that was a weird game
13703s	for him I'm not entirely sure it was
13705s	approached in the best way but the
13707s	card's really weren't falling into his
13708s	lap in the right way to be fair to him
13710s	as we see this battle between Schatzi
13712s	and Vigo for the potentially last fight
13716s	of the lobby if shots could take the win
13720s	but it doesn't quite look like that's
13724s	gonna happen it's really close
13727s	it is so close but there won't be the
13730s	value one Zordon is the last unit to
13733s	survive the lasso for Vigo the second
13736s	time that we've seen that doesn't eat to
13738s	shax he's 38 taking him down to 30 but
13740s	it's a long road ahead for Vigo
13744s	he'll pick up battle craze continuing to
13747s	try and scale with the single caligos it
13750s	is
13752s	so interesting to me it has been able to
13755s	make the single challenges work when
13757s	others you know zanyang had four on
13759s	board wasn't able to get there just
13761s	because he also has that Edina and
13762s	that's why it's so difficult for you
13765s	know the balance to be struck on these
13767s	units when you have access to nadina you
13769s	have to be very careful about what you
13772s	add into the game because even a single
13775s	colleges with the right Medina
13778s	very very good
13781s	oh and we might see an interesting play
13784s	here she's actually with a couple Tech
13786s	units in hand has the tunnel Blaster
13788s	available Shields the nadina without
13790s	even seeing you know what he's going to
13793s	do at the end he already has his play in
13794s	mind he's gonna pick up and cycle this
13796s	glow scale
13799s	a few few units in hand a couple extra
13801s	gold looking at the zap to try and take
13805s	out an Adena early or a different Tech
13807s	unit
13808s	yeah I mean what about this white Mane
13810s	right does that have much utility here
13812s	in this fight
13813s	you can try and Target and plant
13816s	something but generally it's used to
13819s	counter combo boards
13820s	not something like this but I I don't
13823s	know what else you would play the tunnel
13825s	Blaster feels very risky but he's gonna
13828s	go for it wow he's gonna immediately
13831s	Shield the manted guaranteeing it
13833s	despite having three adapts available
13835s	with the double ball of minions one of
13837s	them stealth up we'll be at risk of
13840s	going into this haunted mirror but
13842s	doesn't
13848s	[Music]
13850s	trade with the Shields and the stats
13854s	fevering shacksy oh yeah heavily this is
13856s	over and yep
13859s	ego not able to do the second time as
13862s	the ball of minions balls of minions
13864s	survive for chassis and this time there
13867s	wasn't any doubt no technicalities you
13870s	know dragons won they won in Sassy one
13874s	in style following up those two eight
13877s	slices with a emphatic first in game
13881s	five that's right it's the definition of
13883s	feast or famine for shaksi who was going
13885s	in the last four games first last last
13887s	first just the most extremes uh that you
13891s	can possibly go for and he ends up in a
13893s	decent position I think solidly in
13896s	fourth or maybe just about fifth but
13899s	basically right on the threshold of
13900s	putting the lobby in check whereas for
13903s	three of our players I believe that has
13905s	already been done so for shaksi he's got
13908s	two firsts already and I think if he
13911s	wants to take this one down he might
13912s	need two more uh in order to be able to
13915s	keep anyone else from winning the
13917s	tournament
13918s	yeah
13919s	we'll be tough but I believe in him I
13922s	mean he's shown that he's got what it
13923s	takes in I love the first to replay
13925s	style I mean I talked about how good it
13927s	is to be able to play for these second
13929s	thirds and parts but like if I'm if I'm
13932s	behind the controls if I'm in the
13934s	driver's seat first or eight here we
13935s	come let's go so um I'm gonna hope to
13938s	see some more of that action from shaksi
13942s	as um I uh a lot of the players down at
13946s	the bottom uh some of the managing to
13948s	call the way up a little bit more which
13950s	we'll see once we get into the results
13951s	but some of them staying uh very much
13954s	down there uh and man I gotta say I
13957s	think for me there have been some cool
13958s	games uh over the day so far but not
13962s	quite so memorable as this like six out
13964s	of eight dragon game I honestly can't
13966s	say I've ever seen the like and uh it
13969s	puts us in a very interesting position
13970s	in terms of the leaderboard
13972s	and Lorinda said did shaxi actually
13976s	passed my EV to take the alexstrasza
13979s	he I I questioned his your choice right
13982s	it was killing scene I'm like yeah one
13985s	of those two for sure takes malagas
13986s	guess I'm like ah I know something he
13988s	doesn't I don't know what he's like
13990s	takes the Alex here now he he's on to
13992s	something I I man now this malicus
13995s	mystery is just driving me insane but
13997s	yeah here we do have the standings of
13999s	the Penguins on him first the 23 points
14000s	is anyone just behind at 22 and a half
14003s	Sarah had 20 20.5 sword one point back
14007s	so just needing a seventh to put the
14009s	lobby in check she actually only needing
14012s	a sixth and a half to put the lobby in
14015s	check Vigo at 15. zorgo next seven key
14018s	at 11 and 10 and a half so we'll be able
14021s	to put the lobby in check but we'll
14022s	certainly be playing for first as
14024s	they're trying to prevent anyone else
14026s	from ending this tournament before they
14028s	can climb their way back up the
14030s	standings
14031s	yeah you've got three very distinct
14033s	tears they're done you've got the
14034s	players in check the players who can put
14036s	the game in check next game and the
14038s	players who need two more in order to do
14040s	so uh so for the players down at the
14042s	bottom uh in Max 7 key and so okay kind
14046s	of needs to be two wins in a row or like
14048s	a decent performance and then two wins
14050s	in a row uh in order to be able to win
14052s	this as it gets closer and closer to
14054s	that inevitability of the tournament
14056s	reaching its conclusion uh so let's keep
14059s	the pace moving let's go to a break nice
14061s	and quick and when we come back very
14063s	likely or a good chance at least I will
14066s	say of it being the final game of the
14069s	tournament we'll see you then

14272s	you are watching the final day of Lobby
14275s	Legends winter Veil the final Tournament
14278s	of the year the final Battlegrounds
14280s	Tournament of the year I should say and
14282s	very potentially the final game here as
14285s	things are really starting to heat up
14286s	with three of our players having put the
14288s	lobby in check and it's just a quick
14290s	refresher as to how this works once you
14293s	reach that 20 point threshold in the
14295s	first few games of Battlegrounds a win
14298s	is what you need first place in any
14300s	given Lobby in order to win the
14303s	tournament and what I can respect
14305s	penguin sand strategy of going for a
14307s	very first or eighth kind of game uh
14310s	there in that previous Lobby it proved
14312s	to be perhaps a little too risky or
14315s	maybe too weak in that mid game to see
14318s	through to that victory
14320s	yeah it was definitely a tough matchup
14321s	but I mean the idea was great I mean I
14324s	totally thought that it was going to be
14325s	stats and then poison murlocs like you
14329s	know looking for that Divine shield on
14331s	those that that can be a game-winning
14332s	situation and she actually we're gonna
14334s	look at his hero selection here he takes
14336s	the chance okay you know okay it's
14339s	reasonable Shacks his stuff he's done
14341s	blowing me out of the water has Beast
14343s	sin Miralax and lots of good Janda stuff
14346s	so he takes a very normal pick in the
14348s	Genesis penguin Sun ended up on the
14350s	floor go so gonna try and go for those
14351s	murlocs again but beasts and mechs are
14353s	in this time so
14355s	that made the game is going to be very
14357s	scary for Penguins on this time around
14360s	Zion who does have the lobby in check
14363s	is on the zephyrus Sarah unhooked us
14367s	this is a very interesting hook test
14368s	game pirates are in nagarin it's a very
14372s	good hotels game uh no those are out
14374s	right it's the those are out those are
14376s	out yeah sorry Elementals yeah beasts it
14379s	flipped it it flipped because the green
14381s	was good the green was good yes um but
14384s	yeah it does hero power in turn one
14387s	looks like it was just a single unit so
14389s	didn't find that Alley Cat token has the
14391s	option to grab an imprisoner here or a
14393s	refreshing anomaly both of them have
14395s	merits
14398s	next I think he is under literally here
14402s	up to two already we saw yesterday which
14405s	be very strong in the hands of uh edgy
14408s	sword
14409s	who hit a very early catherineate here
14415s	it looks like chassis was able to take a
14418s	picky eater eating a 1-4 zargo with that
14421s	token start on the gravo
14427s	yeah yeah nothing too uh
14430s	spicy having been found thus far demons
14433s	are again in the pool so like you said
14434s	max 7 key in with uh a good shot of
14437s	making something happen with the zile
14440s	uh because I think I'm gonna hold off
14442s	until I see the quest before I go for my
14444s	bandwagon this time I'm on Shore at the
14446s	moment for sure and yeah I was gonna see
14448s	if we check out lichby's board this time
14452s	around we see Lich B not going three
14455s	early and you asked last time oh sexy's
14458s	got the token start oh yeah yeah yeah so
14461s	does it hit it on turn one but turn two
14463s	ready to go
14466s	I like have Frozen Max savinki did just
14469s	hit a very strong demon board and it was
14471s	too much to pass up P back imp very
14474s	strong combat unit and with that mind
14476s	muck it was too many stats for going to
14478s	uh
14479s	to say no to because it saves so much
14481s	health in the long run
14485s	chassis with that token start eyes are
14487s	gonna be on him
14495s	okay I figured considering that three on
14497s	three I mean you can kind of consider a
14499s	little bit more maybe with Reno just to
14502s	try and hit one of those units a little
14504s	earlier but they don't really start
14505s	cropping up until turn uh taverns here
14508s	four or five
14511s	which is probably the best ukulele King
14514s	unit to hit on flergal has the war
14516s	leader to go along with it which will
14518s	provide some you know strength to his
14521s	early game board of murlocs which he
14523s	will certainly be playing into
14526s	zanya and getting herself a nice thought
14528s	as well
14530s	yeah holding that pair this is always
14532s	interesting to see how players deal with
14534s	it he actually sold out of the tabby cat
14538s	holding the apparent so now you wonder
14540s	he's still on one he does have the
14542s	option to triple it he also played
14544s	everything playing for full strength
14546s	into the Galaxy trying to buff up this
14548s	hyena a little bit and I wonder if it
14550s	was necessary
14552s	yes no one even held for quests a little
14555s	bit right from a player who needs first
14557s	or nothing you would expect a little bit
14559s	more grieve
14560s	right that's a very good point
14563s	zanyang one of those players with the
14565s	lobby in there attack
14568s	oh that's more pears in the shop though
14570s	that's nice oh Place seven mixer beasts
14573s	hopefully oh oh oh oh so hidden
14577s	surgeable for by six fingers he tastes
14579s	the enhance-o-matic
14581s	um I'm in a Merlot Club but he does take
14582s	it
14584s	but we'll feel a little bit bad about
14586s	committing those cats to the board oh
14589s	you
14590s	really want that Snicker snacks here
14592s	right
14595s	if you're going down the murlocs path
14598s	four combats is a lot though it is and
14601s	those quests you tendency players shy
14605s	away from them because they're not
14606s	really controllable we talked about
14608s	players you know trying to control the
14609s	random aspect
14611s	this is something where you'd have to
14613s	play weak for four turns you'd take a
14614s	lot of damage by playing
14617s	unoptimal uh attack orders
14621s	I mean it is this sticker stacks on
14623s	but he's gonna take sinful
14624s	Medallion taking free stats along the
14627s	way and then hoping in the late game
14628s	that it just evolves into a poison
14630s	battle and it's not relevant anyways
14635s	all right I need to hurry up and pick
14637s	what am I feeling here
14643s	that is a good point I think
14645s	I'm a little bit behind after getting
14647s	the first one I haven't got any right
14649s	but I'm gonna go with shaqsy I think the
14653s	adaptability of the jaundice
14659s	gonna win out
14661s	all right fair enough he had to hit that
14663s	token start I'm thinking a similar thing
14665s	with zanyang where he's got uh what was
14667s	it three pairs currently with I mean hey
14670s	three wishes available on zephyrus uh I
14674s	believe you can make it work uh sword on
14676s	the other hand though with you know
14677s	obviously not much scaling but a really
14679s	nice high Tempo start here with the baby
14682s	Crush very early baby crushing it's even
14685s	gonna survive at once I'm doing eight
14688s	the image on turn of four I am to vigo's
14693s	Reno
14694s	tough break
14698s	we'll see with this setup
14700s	I'm the patient Scout in the shop passes
14702s	it finds a triple oh has roles for his
14705s	quest so he's gonna likely roll this
14707s	down what is the quest
14709s	and she's prioritizing it this
14711s	hard It's gotta be good is he gonna sell
14714s	for it
14715s	you'd have to imagine he really wants it
14718s	completed on this turn right whatever it
14720s	is so it looks like he'll get it
14723s	at the start of your turn Okay so
14727s	complete first I think it does but I'm
14730s	not positive
14731s	and I'm not sure if he's positive he
14733s	doesn't want to take a chance though
14734s	wants to make sure that he's getting the
14736s	free Elementals and elements that are
14738s	very strong we talked about the
14740s	potential of Nomi boards we saw a little
14742s	rag board piloted by shaksi yesterday
14744s	win out
14747s	yeah if he can just find himself a
14748s	recycling wraith uh a major Domo any of
14752s	these really nice synergistic cards that
14753s	need a lot of Elementals to fuel the
14755s	fires I think he's off to a very very
14758s	powerful mid game
14759s	definitely and has the ability to
14762s	discover them a little bit easier with
14763s	that Gala card hero power yes meanwhile
14766s	Sarah also with the lobby and check has
14768s	two triples lined up on the hook Tusk
14770s	it's a very good hook to sloppy like I
14772s	said and Sarah making the most of it
14775s	we'll see I'm thinking it's gonna be
14777s	fives here we have those beasts in we
14779s	have those murlocs and we have those
14781s	Elementals in
14784s	yeah this is really good a chance of
14785s	being a Nomi game right especially with
14787s	hook Tusk to go hero power down into
14790s	every settlemental being a huge boost to
14793s	your game plan I think one of my
14795s	favorite games that I played of all time
14797s	was the hook test game that I believe I
14799s	hear are powered into
14802s	nine consecutive settlementals
14806s	and uh it was definitely an elemental
14808s	game
14810s	unfortunately the hero power won't
14813s	connect on a triple immediately for this
14816s	hook Tusk but selling through gonna
14818s	triple into the first five with the
14819s	water droplet also completing quests at
14822s	the same time the unlikely Duo from
14825s	victim Specter is a huge pickup oh my
14826s	goodness
14828s	choices
14831s	to know me and he's gonna play into this
14834s	with the victim Factor he has victims
14835s	like their life we could be seeing a
14837s	turn seven
14838s	double know me with another triple
14841s	coming
14842s	I love this play from Sarah this is a uh
14845s	again it's a winner right he's one of
14847s	the players with the lobby and check and
14848s	this was like he might be able to get
14850s	the job done shaksy lining up that
14852s	triple next turn uh I would have to
14855s	guess when we'll get a good look at that
14857s	uh but oh okay maybe he's gonna go in so
14861s	she actually has
14862s	one more triple lined up Tavern Tempest
14866s	with the first one gonna play this
14868s	thesis first to sell out doesn't want to
14870s	get rid of the hyena pair uh both for
14872s	the board strength and obviously not
14875s	able to get rid of this tabby cat just
14877s	yet
14878s	and this is the quest
14882s	because I gave him ghostly masks
14885s	so a free rental gonna be very nice and
14887s	finds a crocod of high Tempo option I'm
14890s	gonna unfreeze just before the turn runs
14893s	out that's sick nice nice turnover grabs
14895s	another pair
14898s	wow this is gonna be a crazy game what
14901s	zorgo has cookbook done already
14905s	it's only turned six that's insane quick
14908s	and he has that rainbow hero power that
14911s	sort of holster him in this mid game
14914s	provide a little bit of extra Tempo he
14916s	won't be able to clear this hyena but
14918s	everything else goes down he's taking
14920s	only five damage this is the first
14922s	damage he's taken all game
14925s	still I have 40 Health with an armored
14928s	Romanian
14929s	[Applause]
14930s	oh
14936s	homie it is a hero part doesn't hit an
14938s	elemental you see how fast he's going he
14940s	knows what's in his hands
14942s	oh finds the Domo does he want it Domo
14945s	right now
14946s	that's actually a very tough decision
14948s	he's also looking at the tabs yeah I
14952s	think pass it is skipping it be rewarded
14954s	with a smogger way more stats on the
14957s	board feeling good with that little rag
14958s	getting buffed and of course anything
14961s	proc in the Nomis I would love to say at
14964s	some point as well after we've seen the
14965s	triple here
14966s	um
14967s	act seven key because we did see he had
14969s	the zile and the uh
14973s	the Catherine the tear as well I believe
14976s	uh which we saw how much that extra gold
14978s	helps out right yeah last time we saw
14981s	this it was a an instant Lobby winner I
14984s	think this time though a little bit less
14987s	impressive from what we're seeing from
14988s	Max 7 oh
14990s	insane that she actually hit a brilliant
14994s	now yeah that's huge we'll go to five
15001s	we are
15003s	it's gonna play The Tavern to this right
15006s	away triple cell for it
15010s	pick up both of those yeah well happily
15013s	Rendell those bad boys huge pick
15018s	a scaling
15019s	that's
15021s	good
15022s	really good
15040s	it does need to be a quick turnaround
15042s	now because shaksi is going to tank a
15044s	lot of damage here
15047s	oh man he does not have long to turn
15051s	this one around now does he and it all
15052s	does find it only off of that Europe are
15055s	in this thesis and the shop is going to
15056s	get buffed up
15057s	[Music]
15062s	Cyclone finds us in Sacramento oh my God
15067s	is this it
15069s	this feels like it might be it poggy
15076s	[Music]
15079s	Cyclones on the board and turn a double
15081s	Nomi smarter to boot
15084s	he's gonna triple The Gnome because none
15086s	of these Elementals are gonna die yeah I
15091s	unbelievable it sells out of the little
15094s	rig just to keep
15096s	high quality copies on the victim
15098s	specter
15100s	someone needs to deal with this fast I
15102s	mean he's at 15. he is vulnerable but
15105s	this is going out of control quickly for
15108s	Sarah on the hook tusk
15110s	but I mean for Penguins down here that's
15111s	a very interesting bullet to have in
15112s	response because
15114s	I mean it gets a little bit more
15116s	complicated when you factor in the
15118s	Wildfire Elementals and the cracklings
15120s	as well but Elementals in general are
15122s	fairly weak to murlocs right with it
15124s	just being raw stats and fairly limited
15128s	amounts of divine Shield yeah when it is
15130s	just for us that's it can be dangerous
15132s	but
15134s	this is one of those interesting
15135s	situations where Sarah does have a lot
15138s	of resources because he's so strong even
15140s	at 15 it's going to be really hard for
15142s	him to take a lethal like one shot just
15144s	he's too strong you know
15147s	um
15148s	and with that he's gonna have time to
15151s	find that recycling wraith and then with
15153s	that recycling wraith look for those
15155s	crackling Cyclones and wildfires did we
15157s	see some taxis for him she's actually
15159s	gonna be not too happy about what he
15161s	sees on the other side though it's going
15163s	to take a lot of damage can I dude was
15166s	it the Nomi that did go down here
15170s	I can't remember but it's got to be a
15172s	good shot of being right yeah
15174s	would definitely prefer the Nomi over
15177s	the crackling Cyclone as the crackling
15178s	Cyclone triple whip lose some stats but
15180s	and that's a huge
15183s	break for Sarah who even finds a blue
15186s	shell should that last oh there's a
15188s	result oh that's so good already at 25
15191s	24 the board says freed up Elemental get
15195s	out of here Elemental get out of here
15198s	this one's over at this point
15202s	whoa what oh my God
15207s	it's an only game
15211s	the chef is in the house and he's
15213s	cooking up a storm
15216s	a storm of Elementals
15221s	wow
15224s	and he just freezes he he doesn't want
15226s	to waste anything he's so strong here
15229s	this is turn nine this board is pretty
15233s	strong on something like
15235s	turn 10 turn 11.
15237s	being a full couple turns ahead of
15240s	everyone is so dangerous we do see
15242s	penguin sun has that brand note and that
15244s	is a huge pickup
15246s	in the shop he's gonna grab a lot of
15248s	Health out this cold lights here
15249s	the question really now though I think
15251s	is not really where the players can beat
15254s	Sarah later on in the game because they
15256s	may be able to with poison scam but more
15258s	so can they stop him now before he just
15260s	breaks out of orbit and truly becomes
15262s	almost infinite in terms of the stats
15264s	he's gaining he's gonna be up against
15266s	Vigo I believe we saw him up against who
15269s	uh right now I want to say it doesn't
15271s	quite feel like he's there he's got a
15273s	kind of almost leapers composition which
15276s	again can be enough to be Elementals uh
15279s	but I don't see it happening right now
15281s	absolutely in the zanyang
15284s	not even committing this reborn down I
15288s	think that's a reborn but I bandwagon
15291s	should I see what that token start but
15293s	there's double coiler a golden Croc a
15296s	monitor oh well you're a spawn I mean
15300s	check he's with him
15302s	and the lever goes into the genie yeah
15305s	sexy is fine
15308s	still a lot left to go here and oh
15312s	yeah lucky that that Croc went down
15314s	because that's a lot of summons that
15316s	would have been bumping up these beasts
15318s	oh man this is actually quite close
15324s	yeah so sexy will just be okay
15328s	the cycling and the recycling rate
15330s	surviving a huge snipe on that crockless
15334s	still no one else
15336s	takes 12. it goes underneath damage cup
15340s	and that is a big deal because like you
15341s	said zanyang also with a chance here oh
15345s	and that's what the reborn saved for
15346s	there we go look at that instantly
15348s	played onto that Leroy the mama bear
15351s	goes Rock just a little bit stronger and
15354s	do we see this Divine Shield come down
15356s	yes we do
15357s	or he's holding
15361s	considering I mean again zhangyang's
15364s	thought process the entire time here
15367s	needs to be is this a winning play does
15369s	this win the lobby for me or is this
15371s	just playing to survive wait
15373s	seriously five
15376s	we lost again his last match was it was
15380s	against I'm pretty sure it was against
15381s	Vigo right who had
15384s	on the Reno leapers I mean maybe not I
15386s	must be mistaken that looks so small
15390s	Golden Bird he arena is
15397s	unbelievable and he has theater's
15400s	parasol yeah he must have golden the
15403s	baron Riverdale last turn oh my goodness
15407s	with taunt in the shop
15410s	oh my goodness it this it might not be
15412s	over
15414s	the hero that everyone else needed this
15416s	feels very quick to have accrued such a
15419s	strong leapist composition like again no
15421s	parrot no golden uh leaper quite yet but
15424s	like you say could be the savior of the
15426s	lobby
15427s	just the power of that golden Baron you
15430s	get so many extra frogs and with those
15433s	summons just also some like sewer rats
15436s	all of a sudden some in three and they
15438s	look like rat packs but they all have
15439s	taunt and you can't get through them and
15441s	the stats just build and build and build
15443s	and oh wait a second Sarah also this
15448s	double damage on the taunt playing down
15450s	six but the golden Cyclone doing a lot
15452s	and the cleave misses it goes to the
15455s	corner and that's a disaster yeah
15457s	that'll do it Max 70 goes down again and
15460s	he just cannot catch a break
15464s	yeah you've got that Perfect combo ropes
15466s	oil plus the Catherine the tear but
15467s	nowhere near good enough as the leapers
15470s	composition
15472s	dear I
15474s	I'm going down the stats yeah he asked a
15478s	little bit too small now this is zorgo I
15481s	mean he's that 41 Health total
15484s	oh sword goes down sword had a fantastic
15489s	Elemental setup had potential but wasn't
15491s	able to get something going fast enough
15493s	oh my god there couldn't be any closer
15496s	it's the party Elemental survives
15497s	everyone else that's so sick
15501s	so zarco at 41 also looking to be in
15505s	position in I mean if he can get the
15507s	cookbook
15509s	oh and Lorena's chosen a tough time you
15512s	know a tough matchup what
15514s	this is insanely hard actually holy crap
15524s	khadgar to boot
15526s	yeah good point
15530s	that takes up three
15534s	oh man it's tight isn't it there's like
15536s	there's a hundred Health murloc on the
15539s	other side but if that can survive the
15541s	leroys then I thought there's a chance
15543s	for penguins and are you even gonna have
15545s	space for the leros the positioning is
15547s	so difficult for zanya that's true yeah
15551s	oh yeah of course with the death rattle
15553s	of the
15554s	the high man I mean those coilers could
15558s	potentially get saved bam I mean even if
15563s	that
15565s	he's hoping to go second here actually
15568s	and and hoping that the Jaime dies first
15570s	yes yeah correct oh he does he changes
15573s	he leads with it now which I like a
15576s	little bit better because you really are
15577s	gonna need this Leroy to summon as much
15579s	as possible
15587s	who I guess I'm gonna go with zanyang
15589s	but it is this is tough
15593s	oh man we're disagreeing again I think
15595s	I'm going with penguins on it but I'm
15597s	already getting the suspicion that
15598s	you're correct you usually are
15601s	I mean it's it's really going to come
15603s	down I mean I'm I'm mostly hoping that
15606s	one of these coilers can summon
15607s	something good
15608s	but it is no sure thing
15612s	and it's not even leading with a small
15614s	solimental as a bumper it's a nice
15616s	birthday
15621s	depending on how you look at it
15623s	in lasagna might be out here
15627s	the leader is gone one closing down but
15631s	a lot of stats remain and that is not it
15634s	there's summons with that golden Croc
15637s	it's a lot of stats but I don't think
15639s	it's enough oh quite it's oh that's a
15643s	huge hit with that guy there's that it
15646s	is close though it sucks
15649s	it is so close one of them goes down
15651s	it's not enough it's not an
15654s	it's just shy yeah but it's not lethal
15656s	zanya survives so you are victorious
15659s	with that lyrics but wow what a close
15661s	fight a great choice by Lorinda he's
15664s	killing it killing us rather
15666s	addictions he really is and I'm willing
15669s	to admit I think you had the better pick
15672s	there I just managed to High Roll that
15674s	uh Leroy snipe uh from penguin Sun but
15677s	hey I gotta take him where I can get him
15678s	as we see Sarah once again with what is
15680s	this now a golden recycling Ray that
15683s	just absolutely flying uh through all of
15687s	these Buffs now
15688s	nearly a 200 200 and picking up a lot of
15692s	that utility that we talked about it has
15693s	tunnel blasters in hand has a wildfire
15695s	two golden Cyclones this ball of minions
15698s	is going to be huge where will it land
15700s	it lands on the Nomi keep that relevant
15703s	okay I guess again you kind of want that
15706s	to die with the uh
15709s	The Wraith but you take it or the
15711s	Specter sorry
15713s	yeah it is it is a bit harder for it to
15715s	go off now so he's not going to be too
15717s	concerned about any value from victims
15719s	Factory aside from just getting maybe an
15721s	extra Elemental to it cycle through and
15723s	utilizing that gold and now we get to
15726s	see a real WordPress wow
15730s	tell me exactly how powerful
15733s	can be my Lord look at this he just
15737s	keeps getting bigger and bigger and that
15740s	sinful Medallion doing a ton actually to
15743s	bolster the stats of these Rolex and
15745s	this is legitimately gonna be hard for
15748s	even Sarah to deal with the huge
15750s	Elementals uh taking a void Lord is
15753s	interesting he has to try and play
15754s	around Leroy to the next step or the uh
15758s	he's cycling yeah the cyclone and he's
15760s	likely going to end on the tunnel
15762s	Blaster and the voiler not having a ton
15764s	of time
15766s	only the tunnel blaster
15769s	not wanting to commit fully he's at 25
15773s	knows that he's also playing for this
15776s	tournament
15777s	and it's gonna be a great decision as
15780s	the leeway is first
15782s	that Cyclone now likely to run into a
15784s	poison or rather the poison runs into it
15786s	and hang on the Sun
15793s	he's dead we thought Sarah had a chance
15796s	and now penguin's son on the floor goal
15799s	says you guys doubted me you thought
15801s	this was over for Sarah it's over for
15804s	everyone else I've got this
15807s	is what I'm actually also doing oh
15811s	so Argo goes down on the cooked book
15814s	and so now what have we got it
15816s	poison murlocs went down to the ghost
15821s	really oh it's a top two penguin's son's
15825s	trying to end this it turns six
15829s	he lost to the leapers
15831s	oh my God
15833s	unbelievable and the leapers might have
15837s	been the only building can deal with
15838s	penguin Sun's board taxi The Last Hope
15841s	for this Lobby
15843s	yeah what's he got uh he does have some
15847s	pretty nice uh Elementals I will say
15849s	even though Elementals often feel pretty
15851s	weak as we've said to the murlocs he's
15854s	got a golden uh Wildfire Elemental
15857s	alongside the crackling with Divine
15859s	Shield as well like if ever there was an
15861s	Elementals board to deal with murlocs
15862s	this feels like it would be a
15866s	but this is a tough choice now I'm
15869s	speechless
15871s	um good trait for Acosta
15874s	true I just don't see any way that
15879s	penguin song loses honestly really
15882s	apparently
15884s	don't I guess so he's just too big right
15887s	there's so many stats uh
15890s	sexy has these masters of realities but
15893s	they don't clear the Cyclone can't break
15896s	she actually has to sell the Wildfire
15898s	Elemental because it's not big enough
15900s	there's 100 73 Health on the swamp
15904s	Striker 175 now even playing around the
15907s	Lost conditions with this voidlord a
15909s	perfect Tech to end on and
15912s	sexy is only at six Health he has no
15914s	more time he has to win this combat I
15916s	don't know how he does it it's All or
15918s	Nothing the hopes of every other player
15921s	in the lobby resting on Shacks his
15923s	shoulders here but as you said this
15925s	looks very very unlikely gets a shield
15929s	but the void Lord will eat
15931s	the poisons Remain the Cyclone won't you
15936s	get a shield
15937s	uh as it hits into the world summon
15943s	not enough
15946s	a perfect lethal
15950s	here's one
15953s	oh my God
15956s	an unbelievable performance ending yeah
15961s	so well played by Penguin Sound from
15962s	start to finish like that was just such
15965s	a gorgeous wave to end exactly lethal
15968s	Noah over there no flourishes or
15970s	anything like that and poison murlocs
15973s	despite having a really uh slim presence
15975s	on day one really not making themselves
15978s	known are the winning composition on day
15980s	two after just an absolutely pristine
15983s	weekend of play uh from penguin Sun
15987s	yeah I I mean what a plot twist there it
15990s	looked like Sarah had it in the bag
15992s	everything was going right penguin Sun
15996s	just perfect play I mean had the lobby
15999s	in check so early maybe Sarah did the
16003s	lobby of or did Penguins on a favor by
16005s	distracting everyone from who the real
16008s	threat was as a fantastic play and I
16012s	mean
16013s	we said from the very beginning of today
16015s	that penguin sun was out to win here the
16020s	only player besides Max 7K to be in the
16023s	finals obviously next seven key winning
16025s	last time Penguins on wanted his chance
16027s	and gets it with a phenomenal
16030s	performance with flurgal hit that early
16032s	brand took the sinful Medallion to get
16035s	those sets just high enough winning by
16037s	nine Health on that swamp Striker
16039s	absolutely every decision that he made
16042s	was crucial
16043s	to winning this fight right here which
16046s	wins him 20
16048s	000 oh my Lord what a finish
16052s	yeah huge congratulations to penguins
16054s	that I didn't see to the entire Japanese
16056s	Battlegrounds Community I know that the
16058s	Japanese casters were cheering him on
16060s	from the sidelines and uh it's a
16062s	passionate crowd indeed and uh well
16065s	deserving of taking the trophy here is
16068s	as I said the entire Japanese Community
16069s	but mainly for penguins and himself
16072s	after such a strong performance there uh
16076s	I just can't say it any clearer right
16077s	like look at this performance today only
16079s	two games where he didn't finish in
16081s	first or second the first uh you know
16084s	winning two lobbies overall impeccable
16087s	play from start to finish
16089s	yeah absolutely wonderful just a pure
16093s	demonstration of skill zanyang not too
16096s	shabby himself actually just finished
16098s	solidly again and again to pick up
16101s	second place on points and Chachi with
16103s	three phenomenal performances himself
16105s	actually takes third
16107s	and Sarah uh ties but with that single
16112s	first only fourth place sword Vigo zorgo
16115s	and Max 7 keep following him up but wow
16118s	I just can't State enough
16120s	how amazing penguin sun has been not
16123s	just in this Lobby Legends but
16125s	throughout his performances in lobby
16127s	Legends always made it through the
16129s	qualifiers every time he showed up made
16132s	it to the finals twice and wins the last
16134s	Lobby Legends of the Year proving he
16137s	belongs and I just fantastic I mean the
16141s	plays were so good
16144s	truly so so clean from start to finish
16146s	now however
16148s	my Jubilation has to take a slightly
16150s	downward turn as this is a shocking
16153s	performance from me compared to
16155s	yesterday
16157s	absolutely I couldn't get the bandwagons
16159s	done
16160s	penguin Sun ended it too fast I didn't
16162s	have enough chances that's what I'm
16164s	blaming it on but uh unfortunately
16167s	Lauren did too good at a job with the
16169s	pharaoh's blessing in my hedge pick
16171s	ended up being correct I truly didn't
16173s	want it to be but it's tough he he was
16176s	doing good
16177s	uh and we ended exactly on six we were
16180s	close penguin Sun didn't want us to have
16182s	this one either
16183s	yeah I'm still salty about it will a
16186s	player win with a dragon on board like
16188s	it's against the spirit of the game come
16190s	on a ball of minions it's like sure
16192s	there's a dragon somewhere in there but
16194s	it's got you know a quilboar's bum in
16196s	its face like it's not really living the
16198s	true life of a dragon it's just stuffed
16200s	in a ball there to be fair game five was
16203s	all about the dragons completely out of
16206s	left field had no idea it was coming but
16208s	they ran Supreme and so I would have got
16210s	it anyways I didn't win okay I did it
16212s	that way but um it did happen and we did
16215s	both get the game reaching turn 11
16218s	without an elimination
16220s	we got that one right at least but I
16222s	will say I I feel like I've may have
16224s	saved things a little bit with my
16226s	fantasy picks with having picked a
16228s	penguin sound at the start and uh
16230s	getting a couple of the bandwagon picks
16232s	as well so I'll be curious to see who
16234s	out of me or you uh one in terms of the
16237s	uh the puzzle box and the uh Tavern body
16239s	predictions thinking you won oh
16244s	I'm not even destroyed it because the
16245s	fantasy team look at that you crushed it
16248s	I couldn't compete no chance there
16252s	that does feel a little bit unheavily
16254s	weighted I gotta say because you crushed
16256s	me in like pretty much every other the
16257s	bandwagon like you know I got lucky I
16259s	guess but well GG my friend Gigi well
16263s	played total respect you you knew that
16267s	fantasy team picks I mean it's hard it
16269s	is really hard so full credit to you all
16272s	these players are so good knowing
16274s	exactly who was gonna take it I mean I
16276s	think you had sexy and Penguins on is
16279s	that yeah and yeah I mean they both
16282s	killed it so
16283s	well played by you and well played by
16286s	all the players today the games really
16288s	were fantastic all the way through
16291s	um I just had an absolute pleasure
16293s	casting them with you
16295s	oh me too man this was so such a good
16297s	time and uh thank you so much for always
16300s	having uh an answer to the questions
16302s	that I pretend to ask as the audience
16305s	surrogate as to illicit Insight from you
16307s	but I genuinely just have no idea what's
16309s	going on so you managed to Ferry me
16311s	through very nicely as well
16313s	yeah no pleasure was all mine
16316s	and uh yeah glad to do it the totals oh
16319s	come on
16321s	day two I know you got it you earned it
16324s	you say you don't know what was going on
16326s	but you have some idea clearly so
16329s	proving that here
16331s	yeah the dots at the uh the board coming
16334s	in clutch for me again as I just pick
16336s	completely randomly but I will I will
16338s	happily take it for again the last
16340s	lovely Legends of the year and uh what a
16343s	year it has been uh I think we've really
16345s	seen the Battlegrounds Community come
16347s	into its own and seen some real
16350s	celebrities be made right we're seeing a
16352s	lot of these repeat performers and none
16354s	is more emblem sorry emblematic of that
16356s	than penguin Sun who uh I've talked
16359s	about it many times has not just been a
16361s	strong performer today and his victory
16363s	really just felt like an an
16365s	inevitability more so than a surprise
16367s	outcome here yeah certainly just a
16370s	matter of time before he was able to win
16371s	one and that's what's been cool watching
16373s	Lobby Legends throughout the year is
16375s	that you get to see these amazing
16378s	players make these amazing decisions
16380s	that you can't see anywhere else I have
16382s	watched so much competitive
16383s	Battlegrounds but there's nothing like
16385s	this the check format the caliber of the
16387s	players coming around the world together
16390s	to play these games for our viewing
16392s	pleasure
16393s	uh it just can't be beaten I can't wait
16396s	for more I can't wait to see the
16398s	competitive scene grow and just see
16400s	where Lobby Legends can go
16402s	well we have to say thank you so much
16404s	for everyone watching us this weekend uh
