| 922s | at the first attempt |
| 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 |

| 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 |
