866s | hello everyone and welcome to day two of |
868s | Lobby Legends fall Championship I'm |
870s | Raven and joining me once again in sttle |
873s | we'll be taking you through all of the |
874s | action today and we are going to Crown |
876s | our final champion of Lobby Legends for |
879s | the year sutle H one are you ready for |
881s | today and two how was yesterday feed |
884s | yeah yesterday was uh was really fun I |
885s | didn't quite know what to expect coming |
888s | into the uh anomalies meta Lobby Legends |
891s | obviously the last Lobby Legends of the |
892s | year as well um which kind of gives it |
894s | that little bit of extra impact so I was |
896s | hoping for a a a couple of things High |
900s | skill cap games that's always my number |
901s | one want when I come into a tournament |
903s | like this but also high levels of |
905s | variation and you know kind of crazy |
907s | games going in different directions and |
909s | I think the first one I was sure we were |
911s | going to get the second one a little |
913s | less confident but actually we got an |
915s | extreme level of variation right I think |
918s | heavily limited by uh not having too |
920s | many murloc games hanging around so |
921s | people had to find other things to do |
923s | other than just jamming base skills |
925s | everywhere but we saw some really really |
927s | cool stuff as you are looking at now |
929s | that game in particular the Tav The |
931s | Tavern 7 lobby as much as it upset me |
933s | was uh was an awesome watch yeah we had |
936s | six different anomalies across the six |
938s | different games and as you mentioned a |
940s | lot of different minion type focuses |
942s | from the uh from the lobbies and also |
945s | just players going for different things |
947s | as we can see the results from group a |
948s | and Group B we had some games where all |
951s | the players run one minion type like we |
952s | started off with like a sort of Beast |
954s | game uh for everyone or at least a a |
956s | banana game H and then throughout the |
958s | day though we really split and saw a lot |
960s | of different strategies come in and a |
961s | lot of different late game scenarios |
963s | which I really really enjoyed and we had |
966s | some amazing performances I think most |
969s | notably H be babbit and Tom were |
971s | probably the two players one from each |
973s | group that really stood out in terms of |
976s | just really impressive results over the |
978s | course of their three |
979s | games yeah for sure and for for Tom in |
982s | particular this does feel like a next |
984s | step for him because obviously we know |
986s | Tom is great on ladder he's here that's |
988s | how you get here you are great on ladder |
990s | right um but from what we've seen so far |
994s | today has seemed like the the check |
997s | format would be an issue for Tomb in |
998s | general because he does seem like a |
999s | fairly solid safe mid mid-range grindy |
1003s | kind of player right lots of seconds and |
1005s | thirds not too many firsts but we saw |
1007s | yesterday not only that very solid |
1010s | consistent safe style but then when it |
1012s | hit late game he was able to navigate |
1014s | late game situations massive in with |
1017s | like massive app plot he was doing High |
1020s | APM stuff really nicely he was |
1022s | navigating the heads up situation the |
1023s | tech car battles really really expertly |
1026s | as well um so I think tomb is really |
1028s | really want to keep an eye on going into |
1030s | Sunday today yeah and as you said we are |
1032s | going into that Sunday since that's what |
1034s | day it is and this is the final day |
1035s | which means the format changes ever so |
1038s | slightly subtle H the players will still |
1040s | be playing out games you know eight |
1042s | player Lobby still getting those Point |
1044s | splits as we had yesterday but slightly |
1046s | different extended potentially day here |
1048s | you just whip us through what check |
1050s | format is yeah so two simple steps to |
1053s | check format uh you have to reach 20 |
1055s | points uh first up um just by any means |
1058s | necessary you know three wins will get |
1059s | you there but you can do it over four or |
1060s | five games just picking up some seconds |
1062s | and fourths or whatever then once you |
1064s | hit that 20p point threshold uh you put |
1067s | the rest of the lobby in check which |
1068s | means they have to stop you from winning |
1070s | the lobby uh if you then win a Lobby |
1073s | when you have 20 points or more then you |
1075s | have won the tournament um it's it must |
1078s | happen consecutively like the game if |
1080s | you win a game and that puts you over |
1082s | the 20 point threshold that does not |
1084s | count you must get over the 20 point |
1086s | threshold and then win another Lobby |
1088s | afterwards uh of course there can be |
1090s | multiple players who have the lobby in |
1092s | check at the same time um and then any |
1095s | one of three four five different players |
1097s | who have more than 20 points in the |
1098s | tournament up to that point are eligible |
1100s | to win the tournament as a whole yeah |
1103s | and again if that sounds a little bit |
1104s | overwhelming if you you know this is |
1106s | your first time watching Lobby Legends |
1107s | don't worry it's all or uh as visually |
1110s | uh displayed on the screen as well and |
1112s | we'll talk you through it as TDR 20 |
1114s | points and then win again and you're |
1116s | good that's that's B basically it yeah |
1118s | yeah we have nice little graphics and |
1119s | color changes for you so look forward to |
1121s | those but that is the priz r these |
1122s | players are competing for and of course |
1124s | H knth to 16th basically already decided |
1127s | as they're the eight players that are |
1128s | not playing today but everything else |
1130s | you know there is a large gap between |
1132s | you know eighth and first in terms of |
1135s | that prize pool so very very significant |
1138s | even if the player doesn't necessarily |
1139s | win getting second versus eighth like |
1142s | that is a very very big deal H we'll go |
1145s | check out the tavn Buddy results though |
1146s | and how everything played out uh overall |
1149s | and uh something I think the viewers |
1151s | really really get invested in from what |
1153s | I've seen in the chat of like what |
1155s | happened the outcome people love |
1157s | meaningless internet points and uh I I |
1160s | enjoy that they love it it's staggering |
1163s | like if you go to any large stream |
1165s | there's nothing that causes a riot in |
1167s | the chat more than like something going |
1170s | wrong with the channel points |
1171s | predictions or some sort of going wrong |
1173s | like they go absolutely rabid for it |
1176s | they're not real you can't pay your |
1178s | bills or buy bread with these fake |
1180s | Internet points they don't matter says |
1181s | the person who cares about beating Raven |
1183s | more than anything else on well here's |
1185s | the problem they matter for exactly one |
1187s | person today and that is me because we |
1190s | have a little wager between ourselves it |
1191s | was on stream yesterday that um uh the |
1194s | the the winner gains some kind of |
1196s | benefit loser has to do something unfun |
1198s | so this is what happened yesterday |
1204s | unfortunately it was not that close oh |
1208s | oh okay W the bandwagon bag you got |
1213s | destroyed okay there enough okay |
1216s | fair slightly emotional for me losing |
1219s | this actually because my pin tweet has |
1221s | been pinned since July |
1223s | 2016 so that has been pinned there for a |
1226s | very very long time it's relevant to |
1228s | this job I'm doing right now but yes |
1230s | all's going to write something and I |
1232s | have to have it tweeted and pinned so uh |
1235s | all I can say is make sure to tune in |
1239s | tomorrow yeah so this was uh my tweet |
1242s | that I've had pinned as you can see |
1244s | since 1 of July 2016 it is no longer |
1246s | pinned H it was how to pronounce shamon |
1249s | properly H in in English and uh a lot of |
1252s | people took it on board and learned a |
1253s | good lesson no longer harass me for the |
1256s | way I say that word but unfortunately it |
1258s | has now been replaced uh and I can tell |
1260s | you a little bit of a story as we look |
1262s | at this tweet uh because honestly when |
1265s | Saul posted it I actually couldn't |
1268s | believe or told me to post it I could |
1269s | not believe he was serious with the one |
1272s | he was post the one he wanted me to post |
1274s | because I read it and thought it was a |
1276s | joke and then unfortunately I did have |
1278s | to post it so that has already been |
1279s | tweeted you guys can check it out now |
1281s | and uh and see what that has uh now |
1283s | being pinned at the top of my Twitter |
1285s | but yeah this one says long gone 20 16 |
1289s | at this point it was um it was nice to |
1291s | have it for so long Saul it was but you |
1294s | know it was time time for a change you |
1296s | know I thought I'd freshened things up |
1297s | and given the challenge of replacing |
1300s | such a such a legendary tweet from you I |
1302s | had uh I had big expectations to me and |
1305s | uh yes Raven did indeed respond to this |
1308s | saying wait are you serious is this |
1310s | actually what you want me to post yep |
1313s | yes it was it's incredibly cruel and |
1314s | mean-spirited but I felt like that's |
1316s | what everyone was expecting so there you |
1317s | go yeah and I'll just tell you now |
1319s | there's been an interesting mix of |
1321s | responses this has not been up too long |
1324s | uh but there's been an interesting mix |
1325s | of responses between someone lost a bet |
1329s | to about time basically so so yeah you |
1333s | you get to see who's watching Lobby |
1335s | Legends and who's not out of the people |
1337s | that follow me so yeah that has to be |
1339s | pinned and staying there and make me |
1340s | look like an idiot H until the next uh |
1344s | uh tournament which is in a couple of |
1346s | weeks so it's going to be a slow week |
1349s | engagement rate wise like seven years |
1351s | that last tweet's been up and my one's |
1353s | been up for 1 hour like I feel like my |
1354s | engagement ratio I think I'm doing your |
1356s | favor if anything I've been driving up |
1358s | that engagement rate my following has |
1361s | increased in the last seven years to be |
1363s | fair if you think about it so like you |
1365s | know there's a higher chance of getting |
1367s | a few more likes here and there but |
1368s | regardless H that was my forfeit but I |
1371s | have a small chance at Redemption we |
1373s | don't really have anything on the line |
1374s | for this except for Pride which is I |
1377s | mean I've not even got that at this |
1378s | point but I'll try and we do have a new |
1380s | new puzzle box for today for top eight |
1382s | so let's take a look and see what those |
1384s | questions are I'm not going to lie I |
1385s | feel |
1387s | confident oh I love the little extra |
1389s | source that's been put on this graphic |
1391s | on the first question uh before we start |
1393s | going through just check if you don't |
1394s | know what we're talking about with Tab |
1395s | and Buddy if you're watching on Twitch |
1396s | on desktop you can see a little |
1398s | extension that allows you to engage in a |
1399s | few little mini games and stuff to |
1401s | increase the interactivity uh you can |
1403s | fight for points you can try and beat us |
1404s | in total points by the end of the day |
1406s | all those kind of things um so these are |
1407s | simple yes or no questions uh if you |
1409s | watched yesterday you will know exactly |
1411s | what the deal is with why that first |
1413s | question has so much more emphasis uh |
1415s | but it looks like we're disagreeing a |
1417s | little bit more today than we did |
1419s | yesterday yeah I'll be honest I just |
1422s | went with a good feeling for these one I |
1424s | had to pick yes on the first one of |
1426s | course um but I yeah I I I just went for |
1429s | it today I thought I'm going to have to |
1430s | do something even more extreme because I |
1433s | will say I actually did well in puzzle |
1435s | box yesterday I beat you right so it was |
1438s | it was the bar off's blessing that I |
1440s | have to get better on I think it oh no |
1442s | it was the bandwagon that's why I got |
1443s | destroyed on wasn't it smack yeah so I |
1446s | have to stop picking bad players |
1448s | basically to win games H but yeah so you |
1451s | know answer these questions how you will |
1453s | and do your best but they are really |
1456s | honestly Chris who makes these they're |
1458s | really like deceptively complex a lot of |
1461s | them are anyway when you look at them |
1463s | because it's like at first you think Ah |
1465s | that's easy yes and then like wait a |
1467s | minute if you sit and actually think |
1468s | about it there's a lot of ways this |
1470s | could actually not happen so gets really |
1472s | difficult to to guess so that's why I |
1473s | don't overly think about it at all and |
1475s | just pick yes or |
1476s | no yeah I think they are very very tough |
1479s | um for those people filling it out one |
1481s | little tip on the the barrows blessing |
1482s | one you know you can look at that in |
1483s | terms of pure o but remember it is the |
1485s | job of Linda who's picking those fights |
1487s | to try and pick the closest fight |
1490s | possible like that's the goal of what's |
1491s | being shot for so if you want to let |
1493s | that influence your decision on yes or |
1494s | no on on a tie there you go and |
1496s | something actually did okay with is the |
1498s | fantasy pick so we can see what they |
1500s | look like today for and myself and where |
1502s | you get to pick three players and |
1504s | obviously like you know the best |
1505s | performance overall is going to win it I |
1507s | like the way we' both jumped over to |
1508s | tomb we like convered fans now um H so |
1513s | and again rightly so after the |
1514s | performance yesterday but I've stuck |
1516s | with two of my picks from yesterday H |
1518s | dappy because I think he was extremely |
1520s | consistent and just got the job done |
1522s | once again and then waterl for the |
1524s | clutch game three where he had to pull |
1527s | something amazing out the bag and did |
1529s | and in that as a result ended up getting |
1532s | here today yeah I think that's a good |
1533s | shout I mean I'll go through mine |
1535s | quickly Tom I kind of said that all in |
1537s | the intro um I think it's time to just |
1538s | get behind him and and say this might be |
1540s | one of the best players here uh be babit |
1542s | I kind of pulled out him and gief saying |
1544s | this is I think this is going to be |
1545s | their tournament so I wanted to include |
1546s | one of them as well and I mean satellite |
1547s | is satellite at this point yes I |
1549s | struggled not to pick satellite as well |
1551s | but I think it's a good shout on |
1552s | waterloop because that last game you |
1554s | were talking about that's a check |
1556s | situation tournament winner right like |
1558s | that's the exact same situation like |
1560s | okay I have to win this Lobby nothing |
1562s | else will really do it's a very |
1564s | different output of it was to qualify |
1567s | instead of to actually win the |
1568s | tournament oh no Raven I've just seen |
1570s | the anomaly that's T tier 7 isn't it |
1572s | that is T tier 7 yeah |
1575s | straight question me about this so I'm |
1577s | sick of it already oh |
1582s | no I'll message it I send an email over |
1584s | to team five thanking them for forcing |
1586s | this one through in in the B |
1588s | I'm joking that's just a joke but anyway |
1591s | we are getting into game one again just |
1593s | a reminder this stage of the day as we |
1595s | kick it off the players will be racing |
1597s | to that 20 total point mark or more and |
1601s | then beyond that we will then |
1602s | potentially be crowning a winner for the |
1604s | next Victory we'll have to see how that |
1605s | one goes but for now you are right |
1607s | tavent tier 7 exists players start with |
1610s | 10 armor or 10 extra armor should I say |
1612s | and most importantly I could win this |
1614s | prediction in game one |
1619s | uh yeah I am I'm actually game theing |
1621s | now CU I'm behind already I have locked |
1623s | in a bandwagon pick on turn one just to |
1625s | point out if you're if you're a fan of |
1627s | mid maxing there is no reason not to |
1629s | click a button to lock in a bandwagon on |
1631s | turn one because you can always change |
1632s | it there's no penalty for doing that but |
1634s | if you stick with your turn one choice |
1636s | that is maximum points cuz it's the |
1638s | earliest you pick your uh player the |
1641s | more points you |
1644s | get I also just quickly jumped him with |
1647s | one as well |
1649s | the the worst possible |
1653s | format here they're looking at just |
1656s | what's available minion type wise there |
1658s | demons dragons murlocs Naga and Undead |
1661s | so no beasts no Elementals no mechs no |
1664s | Pirates no quillo so what do you make of |
1666s | these minion types with this uh this |
1670s | anomaly like is there anything that's |
1672s | really jumping out to you uh run them |
1674s | past me one more time I didn't actually |
1676s | catch dragons merlocks Naga and Undead I |
1681s | believe ooh okay so naga in which is the |
1684s | huge one I think over talked about that |
1685s | yesterday which we didn't see in t s |
1687s | yeah with sewitch sewitch can do |
1689s | ridiculously broken things if you can uh |
1692s | start to get multiples of them and they |
1694s | become quite easy to get multiples of |
1695s | because um you have different ways uh |
1698s | with a lease for example to just keep |
1700s | using seawitch on Golden Monkey and just |
1702s | keep hitting triple after triple uh |
1704s | triple reward after triple reward after |
1705s | triple reward uh merlocks being as well |
1708s | I think is pretty huge because um the |
1712s | Oracle is probably one of the vanilla |
1714s | strongest minions you can possibly get |
1716s | poison was removed from the game largely |
1719s | for a reason putting that back in and |
1721s | having the ability to kill your |
1722s | opponent's 300300 and pump that straight |
1725s | back into your hand buff build is is |
1727s | disgustingly powerful as well so I would |
1729s | say overall this is a stronger Tavern 7 |
1733s | than we saw in our Tavern s game |
1735s | yesterday in terms of how powerful the |
1737s | endgame payoff can |
1739s | be take a look at Tom now going very |
1744s | Tempo focused here is picking obviously |
1746s | on mler as well which helps but plenty |
1748s | of reborn plenty of aggressive ability |
1750s | to push and more importantly do you |
1753s | think this sort of opening is going to |
1754s | help actually transition tomb to the |
1758s | higher tenters do you think he'll build |
1759s | an early sort of aggressive board and |
1761s | then like maybe double level over the |
1763s | course of a couple of turns to try and |
1764s | just catch up to that uh difference yeah |
1767s | I think so there there's there's two |
1768s | basic styles of hero to play in these |
1770s | Tav seven lobbies right like one is the |
1775s | cheat to get Tav s minions right your |
1777s | your garrons your tokis that kind of |
1779s | thing that can just get Tav s minions |
1781s | without earning them essentially um and |
1784s | then in that category as well is um easy |
1786s | triple Heroes right so they can just go |
1788s | to six triple into seven very easily |
1790s | then the other type of hero you can play |
1792s | is just really powerful Tempo Heroes so |
1795s | you can be very strong by tavn four and |
1798s | then hopefully just continuously press |
1800s | level for a couple of turns without |
1802s | losing too much health when you get to |
1804s | that point and I imagine that's what |
1805s | tomb is going to be going for |
1809s | here y sorry I was just double checking |
1811s | my amend to the bandwagon just to remind |
1813s | you you can still choose if you want to |
1815s | make a last minute Choice uh to change |
1817s | up your bandwagon pick it's still |
1819s | possible and I have changed so I've gone |
1821s | I've jumped over to alimu here because I |
1823s | saw the early dragons um with Lich being |
1826s | able to sort of up a lot of extra |
1829s | minions and then leave you know more |
1831s | room for that gold to be used to sort of |
1833s | accelerate that tenter and I think |
1835s | that's a really really good opening |
1836s | there for |
1841s | [Music] |
1843s | alimu lock in a |
1845s | dream yeah just a little dependent on |
1848s | how uh how greedy little bird wants to |
1850s | be here obviously low flyer is a very |
1852s | nice um minion to at least get one or |
1854s | two Buffs on from a mercules right like |
1857s | the differ between a 32 and a 54 in |
1859s | terms of how long it's able to buff your |
1862s | board every turn uh is night and day so |
1864s | I would imagine little bird is going to |
1866s | hold on y does yeah makes sense no point |
1869s | wasting the Buffs this early in the |
1872s | game oh no there is there's one absolute |
1875s | disaster outcome here don't do it 25% of |
1878s | the |
1880s | time |
1882s | nothing oh and also just taking nine as |
1887s | well |
1888s | significant Peak Battleground gaming |
1891s | right there that's what that was yeah |
1893s | just Mouse over it yep still a 3-2 seems |
1896s | good nothing changed nothing changed W |
1898s | on the other hand is going to be playing |
1900s | that pure side just already building up |
1902s | those uh those extra minions or custom |
1906s | minions yeah and we saw this as well |
1908s | right I'm not sure who who the player |
1910s | was but putride won the last hav and |
1912s | seven Lobby we saw uh through this exact |
1914s | method cash out your Creations early so |
1917s | that you are disproportionately strong |
1920s | to the rest of the lobby by using up all |
1922s | of these powerful minions early on and |
1923s | then just press the button until you're |
1925s | at tab seven and then start buying stuff |
1928s | oh I think uh if we could take a look |
1931s | after you know these choices have been |
1932s | made here for watero if we can jump back |
1934s | to alimu for a second uh this board is |
1936s | looking quite impressive considering you |
1938s | were talking about L low flyer before I |
1941s | think we might as well just go cuz yeah |
1943s | I don't think the uh the Discover is not |
1945s | is working particularly well on the |
1946s | pracher side right now this not too bad |
1949s | at all for now buffing up on the dragon |
1951s | on the left and uh things are looking up |
1953s | for alimu yeah you will see I think a |
1955s | lot of people trying to pick up low |
1957s | flyer purely because uh tun picked mler |
1960s | right so mler is throwing bananas at |
1962s | everyone this game and that means you if |
1964s | you have a low flyer you can |
1965s | consistently keep it just churning out |
1967s | that uh those damage Buffs to the rest |
1969s | of your |
1974s | board pretty nice though L still got 11 |
1977s | armor and still keeping the ability to |
1980s | generate more dragons across the next |
1981s | couple of turns he's going to take a |
1983s | loss on this fight but not one that's |
1985s | the end of the world with just the one |
1986s | taner minion living Chief rocking the uh |
1990s | stylish |
1994s | hat and getting a lot more buff value |
1997s | than we saw from little bird in the |
1998s | previous one little bird taken a |
2000s | pounding so far right 27 doesn't seem |
2003s | like you're bleeding but in this Lobby |
2005s | where you started with 10 extra armor |
2007s | you are bleeding at 27 on turn six like |
2010s | that is so much damage to have taken |
2011s | early and the problem is as well it's |
2014s | not like you might tell me I'm |
2016s | completely wrong in high level Lobby ST |
2018s | which is fine but I feel like the |
2020s | hero isn't exactly the the best either |
2024s | in this kind of situation it's not like |
2025s | oh just get just give them a turn or two |
2027s | and they'll be |
2031s | fine I it yeah it's hard to say I think |
2035s | sometimes if if you've taken this much |
2037s | damage it means you haven't got a |
2038s | powerful start to begin with right like |
2040s | sometimes Teran can just get the the |
2042s | minion on turn one where they're just |
2044s | stronger than you for like three |
2045s | straight turns because of the hero power |
2047s | immediately um but if they haven't had |
2050s | that start yes it's hard for them to |
2051s | stabilize quickly um they do have you |
2054s | know with merlocks in they have a nice |
2055s | Bas skill interaction right they can |
2057s | turn one base skill into two Bas skill |
2058s | just straight up which is great that's a |
2060s | huge power Spike immediately if you can |
2062s | get there but uh you do have to be on on |
2064s | the lookout for something to spike you |
2065s | immediately yeah speak merlock and be |
2068s | babit on Tess obviously already taken |
2071s | that creation on the right earlier on |
2073s | and everything seems to be looking |
2075s | pretty good here for be babit again just |
2078s | Tess always feels like a bit of a terror |
2081s | especially when you look at some of |
2082s | these different anomalies that you know |
2084s | your opponents will be going for hyper |
2085s | powerful like maybe even singular cards |
2088s | coming out of that t tier 7 yeah |
2090s | interesting because there was a Bree |
2091s | offed there and he does at least have a |
2093s | tiny bit of handu going on already with |
2095s | the mercules um Bree Beam with base |
2098s | skill one of the most powerful mid game |
2100s | things that you can do even if late game |
2102s | you're more often looking to have that |
2104s | base skill just pulling scam minions |
2105s | more than actual stats out of your hand |
2107s | so uh leaning into Undead is an |
2110s | interesting choice but always with Tess |
2112s | when you start making these decisions |
2114s | the thing you have to get into the habit |
2115s | of doing the most is just mousing up and |
2117s | down the info bar on the left right you |
2119s | want to work out what everyone else is |
2121s | playing what everyone else is leaning |
2123s | towards because you want to play the |
2125s | same thing as as many as possible in the |
2128s | lob so that you can continue to pick up |
2130s | more pieces for your |
2134s | composition going to choose to buy that |
2137s | board okay fair enough I mean there's |
2139s | some good value uh minions there as well |
2141s | so not a bad one to choose at |
2152s | all nothing in particular I imagine he |
2155s | wants to keep in hand for the scalin |
2157s | above or nothing no high priority |
2160s | targets let's say yeah still has enough |
2163s | economy left though to like you can |
2165s | still roll a couple of times and then |
2167s | sell stuff to buy something |
2169s | else keep in his |
2181s | hand could have one more roll here okay |
2183s | there's a |
2185s | bream well that is a little awkward yeah |
2188s | he's going to have to roll past I don't |
2189s | think it was bable because he needs to |
2191s | play the fael Drake this turn right so |
2194s | even if he used the feldrake as one of |
2195s | the minions he's selling he uh he would |
2198s | have likely eaten the bream at that |
2199s | point anyway so it looks like he's just |
2201s | going to settle on a little bit of a |
2202s | buff on that fael Drake |
2205s | itself that's fine right it's just |
2208s | obviously it was a bit of a shame to |
2209s | miss out on the bream but it's it's not |
2211s | like Chief's heavily committed to this |
2213s | Drake or anything it's just oh it'll get |
2215s | above prob play it next turn it can beat |
2219s | up a few minions and then you know move |
2221s | on after that so not a huge |
2225s | deal see beat a bit on the test |
2229s | though a nice little board to pick from |
2232s | I think as well for for be babit right |
2234s | with the scalping option there at |
2240s | least yeah again might be maligning the |
2243s | uh the lack of bream from the pick on |
2244s | the previous turn right having seen all |
2246s | that burlock synergy but again like I'm |
2248s | hyping up bream at this point but |
2250s | honestly you kind of at a high level you |
2252s | kind of want to go Bas skill first right |
2254s | you want to have that base skill |
2256s | security before you start picking up |
2258s | bream cuz I'm sure you've been in that |
2260s | situation before you buy a bream and |
2262s | then okay you start spending all your |
2263s | gold on merlocks and you have this huge |
2265s | like 4040 in your hand and no way to get |
2268s | it on the board and then as soon as you |
2269s | put it on the board it has no ability |
2271s | anymore right it's going to stop growing |
2273s | until you're perhaps able to you have to |
2275s | right at some point you |
2277s | as as you get push it Bally the to keep |
2281s | you alive the fact thatone of these |
2283s | players have seen skill yet I don't |
2286s | looking around at the other boards I |
2289s | don't think there's a single base skill |
2291s | in the lobby yet from what I can see |
2293s | which is kind of |
2295s | amazing yeah also a pretty nice and |
2298s | early level there from waterl a turn |
2301s | eight going up to tavent tier six I |
2302s | think we might see a t tier s something |
2305s | we then have to might too yeah cross |
2307s | fingers for the winner yeah it's uh one |
2309s | of the big reasons I went for uh for |
2312s | beer babbit here is that I'm trying to |
2314s | hedge my bets against you picking up the |
2316s | win on Tav s because Tess will not have |
2318s | to go to Tav s necessarily this yeah you |
2321s | get the double whammy right yeah Tess |
2323s | can stay tast can stay low and um just |
2326s | steal Tab and seven minions from other |
2328s | people potentially look at this turn |
2330s | from Malu though has the Amala on |
2333s | options has all these murlocs with the |
2334s | extra ble to Mery o has the |
2340s | duo this is gross you okay Sol that was |
2343s | just that one exclamation then dramatic |
2347s | pause I mean look at it oh I'm I'm with |
2351s | you I was just making sure you're okay |
2353s | it's s right what the hang on the merky |
2357s | activation on the Primal fin the first |
2359s | one got a second murky are you joking |
2363s | it's just salumu is it just good at |
2366s | heart so yeah just we know this this |
2369s | isn't a surprise |
2371s | yeah uh so yeah this is a pretty |
2373s | disgusting setup at this point um just |
2375s | tons of stats being thrown out for free |
2377s | like Auto scaling at the end of the turn |
2379s | with the young merury hitting murky uh |
2382s | alimu can now probably get fairly close |
2384s | to tripling a murky at some point in the |
2386s | near future if you can find bran or |
2388s | Moira which is obviously available in a |
2390s | t s lobby as well uh I think he's a |
2393s | pretty big favorite for this game right |
2395s | now I also feel like and you know better |
2397s | than me so tell me but I feel like alimu |
2399s | is in a spot far enough ahead or |
2401s | comfortable let's say to get even more |
2404s | value from this Duo I a lot of the time |
2406s | I feel like you do you Duo once and then |
2409s | say okay that's enough get rid of it and |
2412s | then progress whereas I feel like he's |
2413s | just so far ahead right now he can just |
2415s | be like yeah I won't die anytime soon |
2417s | I'll get another Duo proc yeah his |
2419s | biggest issue right now is not um not so |
2422s | much strength and fear of taking damage |
2424s | it's board space right like there's only |
2427s | many things he can afford to have on his |
2428s | board like I think the low flyer despite |
2430s | being individually arguably his biggest |
2433s | minion his biggest and best minion right |
2435s | now uh disappears pretty soon right |
2437s | because he needs to make space to |
2439s | actually make more powerful things |
2443s | happen going for the |
2446s | obsidian yeah not the options he really |
2448s | wanted to see you know when I was |
2449s | talking about this setup I didn't even |
2451s | mention the fact that he does have the |
2452s | Elise in there as well so if he can hit |
2454s | the sea witch he starts to get rolling |
2457s | with that infinite Golden Monkey |
2458s | printing Factory that I was talking |
2460s | about earlier so aluu this is a spot |
2463s | that I get stuck in sometimes as well he |
2466s | essentially has three or four different |
2469s | game-winning things that he's halfway to |
2471s | doing right now but he can't do them all |
2474s | he has to choose which direction he's |
2476s | going to end up going in does find the |
2478s | brand though which is absolutely huge |
2480s | he's just going to drop both of these |
2482s | murkies on the board and now the stats |
2484s | are going Bur |
2487s | yes this is very very nice I was just |
2489s | going to say Obviously it happened but I |
2491s | think altimo was looking for the Tipping |
2493s | Point to make that decision right and I |
2495s | think the brand really helped |
2497s | there these Divine sh Manos though are |
2500s | going to be a fairly significant amount |
2502s | of damage it looks like here |
2505s | though oh okay yep going to get damage |
2511s | capped which means aluu has to get |
2514s | impossibly strong right now cuz he |
2517s | becomes the first player within range of |
2520s | dying with the damage cap |
2522s | on oh when he's facing a beat a babbit |
2525s | on the |
2526s | test this is spicy both of M and SS |
2530s | picks for bandwagon facing off and mine |
2532s | can |
2533s | die I have faith Al |
2535s | team but now what goes right like the |
2538s | fact you're below cap makes this |
2540s | decision so much more difficult your |
2542s | Duos proing this turn your release is |
2545s | the key to an infinite Prin Factory if |
2547s | you can get it going like your bran is |
2549s | doubling the stats that you throw out at |
2551s | the end of each turn yeah he's just |
2553s | going to get rid of the Elise it's good |
2555s | to get some I think it makes sense I |
2557s | feel like this should be enough to get |
2559s | him to the next stage as long as he |
2561s | lives with the at least sold and with |
2564s | the very last monkey from the shop so |
2566s | there's no more monkeys left hits the |
2568s | sea witch and yeah I think when you're |
2569s | under damage cab too greedy to be going |
2571s | for the sea witch at that point oh |
2573s | decent amount of Power with these two |
2574s | Uther honestly Uther not really one you |
2577s | always want to see but being able to hit |
2579s | the brand being able to hit the duo not |
2581s | too terrible oh getting rid of the DU |
2583s | going for ravager with the Uther I guess |
2585s | just for more damage more |
2591s | spread for there's also the option of |
2593s | getting this Bas skill down |
2597s | right yeah I think the Bas skill |
2599s | absolutely hits the |
2601s | board you could base skill and keep the |
2603s | tide Oracle in your hand as the summon |
2607s | yeah which would then end up buffing |
2609s | itself weirdly for the foll ever end on |
2613s | buying the Divine shield from the |
2615s | shot I'm not sure what hang on I can |
2618s | just look cuz I have that information |
2619s | what I don't think so the last the last |
2621s | board space goes to the second amalon I |
2624s | think right and then you just oh sure |
2626s | yeah if you want the tit yeah yeah yeah |
2628s | yeah yeah I'm with you I'm with |
2631s | you looking especially since if you |
2633s | didn't get a perfect on you could just |
2634s | put it next to the Merk ey and have it |
2636s | fix just go again yeah yeah yeah so a |
2639s | lot of stats being kicked out here but a |
2643s | lot of lot of Bas skills what's going on |
2646s | here there's only three cards in hand |
2649s | though it looks like a little bit hidden |
2650s | behind the the logo at the top so not |
2652s | full full |
2655s | value and nothing massive either the |
2658s | Divine shield and reborn obviously helps |
2660s | don't get me wrong but nothing truly |
2662s | gigantic coming out here from uh be |
2665s | babit right but they are printing money |
2668s | it looks like |
2671s | yes so that's fine good fight for aloto |
2674s | in the end because be babbit is actually |
2676s | he's kind of still in milking stage |
2678s | right now right he's a little bit weak |
2680s | and still just trying to gather some |
2682s | resources this is a good time for ALU to |
2684s | hit this fight uh fighting for his life |
2686s | in the end yeah and he's got direction |
2688s | as well as power for now right so that's |
2690s | definitely something worthwhile still |
2692s | really close |
2695s | though |
2697s | don't down can I interest you in more |
2700s | battle cries |
2703s | so wow satellite actually actually going |
2706s | full ravager here |
2710s | okay I didn't get deleted by this minion |
2712s | today well this morning because I just |
2715s | didn't expect it and then Bang there |
2717s | goes half my board yeah it can |
2723s | happen oh and there's the hand or the |
2725s | progression of the hand |
2727s | gold the basee skill look at that look |
2730s | at that |
2733s | shop well that's that's Al who's board |
2736s | yeah that's I'm just saying just just |
2737s | look at what's on offer for I'm just |
2740s | saying like just stare at it and soak it |
2742s | in sole because |
2744s | wow and Cru been test hav tier four look |
2747s | at that yeah and crucially babit had |
2749s | like infinite gold this turn as well |
2751s | right saw his hand fill up previously |
2754s | so he's able to transition this very |
2757s | nicely dappy we not really uh been able |
2760s | to check in with him too much so far but |
2762s | doesn't look overly impressive when |
2764s | we're comparing it to everyone else a |
2766s | lot of divine Shields and the George of |
2768s | course but I feel like uh he might be |
2770s | slipping away |
2773s | soon yeah right this second still for |
2776s | maybe turn 11 turn 12 still looks fairly |
2779s | strong and competitive with most people |
2780s | in the lobby uh that board does not |
2783s | really seem to have the future that |
2785s | we've been looking at the last few |
2787s | rounds or so with the likes of satellite |
2788s | bebit and not a 5 plan is it absolute |
2792s | merlock nuts no not at |
2799s | [Laughter] |
2803s | all you'd be so annoyed wouldn't |
2807s | you especially as like if you Mouse over |
2810s | beat a babbit he he he reads like Undead |
2812s | six or something from last turn and then |
2814s | you see this like again that's uh kind |
2817s | of what you're talking about with the |
2818s | strength of test is that you can kind of |
2820s | just flip right when needed if you run |
2823s | into someone with a strong board you can |
2824s | go okay well my sort of Minion build is |
2827s | not great I'll jump over and better |
2830s | tomb's glad we still on damage cap at |
2832s | the moment because |
2836s | wow oh |
2839s | Battlegrounds silly |
2842s | goose sometimes that's all the analysis |
2845s | you need right ah oh |
2849s | Battlegrounds oh just saw as well |
2850s | Chief's out wow I didn't even see that |
2852s | happen's dead yeah first death |
2864s | Mega Walo definitely taking his time |
2867s | with this turn I've seen faster turns |
2868s | but there is a lot more to consider when |
2870s | you've got a hand that does |
2872s | this double sewitch triple SE witch |
2878s | so uh golden sea witch gives you the |
2880s | spellcraft that gives you two copies of |
2882s | any Minion from a shop which a free |
2885s | triple at any point you want it right |
2886s | you point the thing at a minion you get |
2888s | two copies of it you can then buy the |
2890s | third copy and it is a |
2892s | triple like a base skill for example |
2895s | well well well what are you doing |
2904s | here I would I loved it if I saw it |
2907s | frozen and it's like I'll leave that |
2908s | there and I'll just make a million B |
2911s | skills I love it like this makes my |
2914s | point from yesterday right when I was |
2915s | saying like Bas skill is just the Edwin |
2917s | it's the best minion in the game I don't |
2919s | understand how it never gets nerfed |
2920s | waterl is on Tav seven he still had |
2923s | plenty of gold left and he had a choice |
2925s | of getting three free minions of |
2927s | anything in his hand no hesitation base |
2931s | skills all of them there are seven drops |
2934s | available that he could have found he's |
2935s | like no base skill yes you're right I'm |
2937s | not questioning it it's just why is why |
2940s | is this minion still a t four I don't |
2943s | understand why is it not a t seven I I |
2946s | mean kind of |
2949s | yeah okay well it's going to be fighting |
2951s | be a babbit so again the power I feel |
2954s | like the power level of this game is a |
2956s | lot higher than the previous t s we CED |
2959s | yesterday it feels like every well |
2961s | nearly everyone's doing broken stuff |
2964s | look at this oh Battlegrounds you silly |
2972s | goose tell me I'm wrong tell me I'm |
2974s | wrong oh those Venom did not go as |
2978s | planned |
2979s | though all right out of Venom though and |
2981s | the uh the giant boy giant Bo is still |
2983s | hanging around did gief just kill little |
2986s | bird as it from Beyond the Grave I think |
2988s | that's what |
2989s | happened uh tomb's out as well yep |
2992s | tomb's gone down as well because little |
2994s | bird just died to the ghost which was |
2996s | only gief that round right yep correct |
2998s | so wow and you and this is what I'm it |
3001s | feels like the power level of everyone |
3003s | in this game is so much higher than we |
3005s | saw yesterday yeah there is this Lobby |
3007s | there is an incredible discrepancy |
3009s | between the Haves and the Have Nots |
3011s | right like it's so very very |
3014s | clear kind of like live commentary going |
3017s | on there but yeah I mean |
3024s | yes you know let's let's not necessarily |
3026s | turn this into a platform for sel's |
3028s | political beliefs but you know yes it's |
3031s | time we can turn it into a platform for |
3033s | Barrel's blessing though because this oh |
3036s | Divine Shields versus |
3039s | scam who wins oh there's like seven |
3043s | minions in water's hand what are you |
3048s | doing there's no way right dappy's just |
3052s | so small because Divine Shields is kind |
3055s | of double or twice as big as he looks |
3057s | right but I will say just in the |
3059s | interest of balance right like these two |
3061s | to the people who haven't caught on to |
3062s | this perhaps watching there's two tide |
3064s | oracles on water's hand so these minions |
3067s | in water's hand will not be vanilla |
3069s | stats right they will have been buffed |
3071s | somewhere along the lines um by these |
3073s | tide oracles so keep that in mind just |
3077s | think of the Divine Shields so |
3081s | S I think you should pick dappy yeah do |
3085s | you think |
3087s | yeah he didn't pick dappy guys I |
3091s | tried I did my best yeah I |
3095s | think I think it's closer than the hand |
3099s | size of water loon makes it look because |
3102s | the minions them the base skills just |
3105s | 100 100 oh my yeah he also picked up a |
3109s | blaster at the in the last shop as well |
3111s | which ohang colossal difference it's now |
3114s | now just a face skill at this point |
3117s | doing tons of |
3119s | damage yeah the blast is to the board |
3122s | there's another pile of stats to the |
3124s | hand is that minion |
3128s | dead Okay golden Moira did go down which |
3131s | means that this is now fighting for |
3133s | itself oh oh no way incredible missed |
3138s | the uh the |
3140s | bragger oh I did not I told you so |
3144s | should have listen yeah should have |
3146s | listened to |
3148s | yourself yeah that's what that's what |
3151s | casting with you for so long has done to |
3152s | be so I doubt myself at every angle here |
3155s | though it looks like bran is going to go |
3156s | down so that means satellite is going |
3158s | out on Fifth this game we do now have |
3161s | our top four dappy waterl aluu and be |
3165s | babbit slight Health difference at the |
3168s | very top there Linder has just commented |
3170s | in chat and I was about to make the same |
3172s | comment like I imagine that was a fairly |
3175s | significant ific scam like I I I I |
3177s | definitely believe waterl probably had |
3179s | the odds in that fight but you know |
3182s | sometimes yeah yeah yeah |
3189s | [Music] |
3191s | yeah oh beat a babit my tavent four Hero |
3194s | Let's go yeah the the problem was uh |
3197s | when he had the the battlecry in hand |
3199s | right he finish the turn with the |
3201s | battlecry AR brags in hand is just one |
3203s | ones and stuff like yeah well the other |
3205s | minion was not a braggot right there was |
3208s | a three health so it's going to pull |
3209s | from the base kill |
3212s | yeah he Al teu still looking |
3217s | good down with a fairly large B skill |
3224s | himself what's the finisher here is this |
3227s | going to be selfless do you |
3229s | think oh discovers a muron was the last |
3233s | fight another murloc player no okay |
3235s | that's |
3236s | unlucky there's so many other murloc |
3238s | players in the lobby that that could |
3239s | have been some incredible value honestly |
3241s | that looked like it was drawing |
3243s | from like a previous game or something |
3245s | or because those were not cards we're |
3247s | seeing on on screen right now who was |
3250s | that actually I'm looking at the track |
3251s | oh that was little bird little Bird's |
3253s | board is a vanilla zap a vanilla Elise a |
3256s | base skill a Bel they died a couple of |
3258s | turns ago right a Manor Roth one Eternal |
3260s | Knight that's a 50/50 and a a ghoul yeah |
3263s | yeah that's it's a go it's an old ghost |
3265s | fight |
3266s | must have F |
3267s | against team with the seconds burning |
3270s | down on that rope it's going to end with |
3271s | that double taunted Divine Shield so |
3275s | yeah I like this a lot the cleave there |
3276s | not really planning to kill anything for |
3278s | altimo but more just remove Divine |
3280s | Shields maybe you know take down a LeRoy |
3282s | or |
3285s | something we go against putrid withu |
3288s | versus waterl |
3290s | here and a lot of |
3294s | explosions |
3297s | good thing |
3298s | is I mean two actual poison Minions that |
3301s | can benefit from Divine shield and the |
3303s | Divine Shields miss both of them that's |
3306s | kind of scamming still doesn't look like |
3308s | ALU has anything like an up left over |
3311s | though uh I don't know how big the |
3313s | monoth |
3316s | is is there more oh there's more just |
3319s | some random garbage coming out now |
3324s | fine |
3326s | oh this has been a proper clown car game |
3329s | like it's just open the door endless |
3331s | clowns marching out on every board that |
3333s | you look |
3335s | at right can these do 85 not quite so |
3340s | unfortunately it looks like my choice |
3342s | for bandwagon is yet again not going to |
3343s | quite make it to the |
3346s | top but I am happy though Saul because |
3349s | dappy and waterl are both on my fantasy |
3351s | team so that's something be babbit is on |
3354s | my fantasy team team and is my bandwagon |
3357s | pick though so yeah but two people are |
3360s | better than |
3361s | one yeah I mean that is more that is |
3364s | definitely how more was and we know how |
3366s | Battlegrounds Works more is good |
3371s | yeah but the big win for you here is if |
3375s | watero wins right watero is on your |
3377s | fantasy team playing Putra side which |
3380s | begins with a p Professor putride which |
3382s | begins with a p uh which you said yes to |
3384s | and I said no to and is on Tav seven |
3387s | which you said yes to and I said no to |
3389s | so that would be Mega points for I feel |
3392s | like I should get like bonus like my |
3395s | point should get doubled if that happens |
3397s | because you hit three in one go maybe |
3399s | even tripled to keep on |
3401s | theme you agree sorry be's just still |
3405s | tripling into fives that's so funny at |
3407s | this point in the game |
3411s | yeah where's the Improvement right for |
3414s | Peter pabit it's like |
3416s | just fill your hand with scam minions |
3418s | you just buy infinite Le like these |
3420s | leroys are incredible right like just |
3422s | get them in your |
3423s | hand Yep this looks good to me |
3427s | [Music] |
3429s | CLE and then play a mle I imagine yeah I |
3433s | think so just cuz it can it's like the |
3434s | thing that benefits most from being on |
3436s | board right like early yeah makes sense |
3439s | to me looks like it's going to be pretty |
3440s | strong for be babbit but can waterl on |
3443s | the putri side my hero at the moment get |
3446s | this done we've already seen water's |
3450s | clown car is incredibly powerful right |
3452s | but now we're seeing be babbit also has |
3454s | a very good clown car of his own but |
3456s | these Divine Shields are pretty gross |
3459s | and that is a ton of stats that just got |
3462s | thrown onto the hand that's another ton |
3464s | of stats that just got thrown onto the |
3470s | hand |
3473s | oh what a game |
3483s | it's looking pretty good so yeah that's |
3486s | just death that is just |
3489s | death oh he won y Dy died to the ghost |
3494s | oh I am the ultimate predictor of the |
3497s | world |
3499s | ever from previous history to all the |
3502s | way to the Future no one will be able to |
3504s | pick better than me what a game we may |
3508s | as well end the tournament now it's not |
3510s | going to end now that's a joke before |
3511s | anyone takes me too seriously but |
3514s | well I may have a silly pin tweet but |
3517s | I'm feeling pretty good right now well |
3519s | there's a long way to go ladies and |
3522s | gentlemen at home let's let's be honest |
3524s | that was a disaster in terms of my Tav |
3527s | and budy picks um so yeah just in terms |
3529s | of puzzle box stuff uh Professor pet |
3531s | side begins with a B so we've already |
3532s | hit yes on that Tav 7 uh was hit in game |
3535s | one so we've already hit yes on that um |
3538s | and that was a member of ravens fantasy |
3540s | team as well winning the first Lobby so |
3542s | uh yeah disgusting stuff overall and I |
3545s | know for sure how annoyed SLE will be |
3547s | because my picks are ridiculous yet they |
3550s | keep happening which is H makes me very |
3552s | very happy overall but that was just |
3554s | game one we've got plenty more games |
3556s | coming up we are go to a quick break |
3558s | while we set up game number two don't go |
3560s | anywhere we'll be right back with some |
3562s | more Lobby |
3564s | Legends |
3589s | [Music] |
3619s | [Music] |
3654s | n |
3660s | [Music] |
3669s | [Music] |
3683s | f |
3692s | [Music] |
3701s | [Applause] |
3702s | [Music] |
3750s | welcome back everyone to Lobby Legends |
3751s | fall Championship we have got game two |
3754s | to get underway but before we do we're |
3756s | going to just take a look at what just |
3757s | happened in game one because it was |
3759s | magnificent for many many reasons uh but |
3762s | again taking my own little victories out |
3764s | of this all it was a pretty incredible |
3767s | game Sorry if that's loud for everyone |
3770s | else I apologize but okay there we go I |
3772s | was just deafened for a second so sorry |
3774s | about |
3775s | that what was I saying yes so it was a |
3778s | pretty incredible game overall in terms |
3779s | of just how many players actually kind |
3782s | of like got to an endgame stay I would |
3784s | say for T 7 yeah and so it it's the |
3789s | product of the 10 extra armor right in |
3791s | Tav s lobbies because normally high |
3793s | level |
3794s | Battlegrounds some people understand |
3796s | that they just they aren't the bully |
3798s | this game right like they have to just |
3799s | Turtle up and just go for for Tav and |
3801s | four strats or whatever and just try and |
3803s | Tempo out and try and get a top four and |
3805s | we saw one or two of those right but th |
3809s | those people that ended up dying to |
3810s | ghosts right that was the indication of |
3812s | how much weaker they were than the rest |
3814s | of the lobby but they were just hanging |
3815s | on in there for as long as they could |
3817s | but because of that 10 extra armor a |
3819s | greater proportion of players understand |
3821s | that they can just be super greedy and |
3822s | shoot for the moon and oh my god did the |
3825s | moon get shot for with so many tide |
3828s | oracles hanging around like everyone |
3829s | just had the most powerful clown cars |
3831s | I've ever seen with just like a full |
3833s | Board of not only venomous and poisonous |
3836s | minions coming out but they were all |
3837s | like hundred hundreds as well cuz they'd |
3839s | all been eating so many stats from |
3841s | everything else like absolutely gross |
3843s | game of Battlegrounds and if you ask me |
3846s | I think we should just strike it from |
3847s | the record and just play it again |
3849s | because it was clearly just an unfair |
3851s | game it looks fine to me waterl sitting |
3854s | at the top there with a victory and be |
3855s | babby and dappy actually sharing that |
3857s | kind of second third play Let's Take a |
3859s | look at the pick rates as well for the |
3862s | uh the player picks for the viewers cuz |
3864s | that's always one interesting to look at |
3865s | beater babbit again not too much of a |
3867s | surprise being a crowd favorite but a |
3869s | lot of respect going over to tomb I |
3872s | think after yesterday's performance |
3874s | people are impressed yeah yeah |
3876s | absolutely I think real real standout |
3878s | performer from yesterday for sure uh |
3880s | people who would perhaps uh just by |
3882s | nature of winning the group right I'm |
3883s | sure some people don't really follow |
3885s | things particularly closely and just |
3886s | like oh this person won the group we'll |
3887s | pick them um but little surprise for me |
3890s | is that alu's actually dropped off since |
3892s | yesterday right I think he was the third |
3894s | most popular pick in his group uh |
3896s | yesterday has fallen down to fifth it's |
3898s | generally seems to be a pretty popular |
3899s | player overall particularly uh within |
3901s | home region so a little bit surprised to |
3903s | see that drop off but overall no great |
3906s | surprise to see people watching you know |
3907s | the English-speaking cast favoring the |
3909s | likes of Peter babbit and gief and also |
3912s | I think it's like a natural progression |
3914s | as we get to this second day of the |
3916s | lobby Legends format because yeah |
3918s | there's two groups which means there's |
3920s | twice as many people which means you |
3922s | know maybe the the bigger names such as |
3923s | alimu such as dog for example are up |
3926s | there but when you filter that into one |
3929s | single Group Well suddenly like those |
3930s | names are clashing for popularity votes |
3933s | for example right so it's really |
3935s | difficult because suddenly not only are |
3937s | there some very big names in top eight |
3939s | but as you said more votes go to tun |
3942s | because tun played incredibly well |
3943s | yesterday so it's a completely logical |
3945s | vote even though he may not be like the |
3948s | most popular Battlegrounds player in the |
3950s | world so yeah really nice to see um you |
3952s | know viewers get behind not only only |
3954s | well-known players but good play in |
3957s | Battlegrounds as well as we jump over to |
3959s | game number two bit more of a teame |
3962s | anomaly this time |
3964s | subtle yeah and another repeated anomaly |
3967s | we did it we had our first repeated |
3969s | anomaly of the tournament which of |
3971s | course was nanon Tav s lobby but we did |
3974s | see this one uh yesterday as well no |
3976s | surprise though this is uh currently |
3978s | boosted I believe being one of the |
3980s | newest additions uh to the anomaly |
3983s | lineup um but yeah |
3985s | I talked about the test buff kind of |
3988s | that comes with this anomaly yesterday I |
3989s | ended up picking the test player for |
3991s | bandwagon and we'll likely be doing so |
3993s | again here uh because that ability to |
3995s | just get that little bit of a boost from |
3997s | stealing minions with the abff applied |
3999s | from the anomaly is just a nice little |
4001s | cheat code for Tess uh to be able to |
4003s | kind of skip out that one turn where |
4005s | usually they're a little bit weaker |
4007s | after immediately stealing their |
4008s | opponent and we've seen test across a |
4011s | lot of this weekend seem to be a very |
4013s | high pick rate hero is that just the |
4016s | case just in Battlegrounds right now is |
4019s | Tess just uh know if like viewers are |
4021s | watching and think oh okay if I get off |
4023s | a test should they just picker a lot of |
4025s | the time so it's you have to have a grip |
4029s | on the the minion type makeup a lot of |
4031s | the time right sometimes there's just |
4034s | there's five minion types where there's |
4036s | clearly one that is the that has the |
4038s | dominant matchup right like the game |
4040s | itself is quite balanced right now but |
4041s | minion types tend to have matchups right |
4043s | divine Shields are are good against |
4045s | certain things which makes mechs have |
4046s | some good matchups against other things |
4048s | some Minion types can't deal with raw |
4050s | stats so then suddenly that makes |
4052s | dragons hard for them to beat like that |
4054s | kind of thing these matchups go through |
4055s | and throughout all the individual minion |
4057s | types so when you have a minion type |
4059s | makeup where there is just okay everyone |
4061s | is playing murlocs this game everyone is |
4064s | playing Elementals this game just and |
4065s | you just know that instinctively from |
4067s | looking at the minions are in the game |
4069s | then you take tests right because that's |
4071s | what you want to rely on as many people |
4073s | as possible gravitating towards the same |
4076s | strategy because that's what makes test |
4079s | strong well now I'm just looking at who |
4081s | to pick here it's a kind of a difficult |
4083s | choice I normally try and merge like |
4086s | what I think of the player combined with |
4088s | the hero Choice similar like you said |
4089s | you picking Tess again but nothing's |
4091s | really jumping out at me here especially |
4094s | cuz the anomaly is fairly well-rounded |
4098s | right yeah yeah |
4103s | yeah |
4107s | Linda helpfully just uh trying to help |
4109s | Raven make his decision just going |
4111s | through play by appreciate it appreciate |
4113s | it Linda always looking out for |
4115s | me see yes a mirror match going on in |
4118s | this turn two here for alimu versus |
4120s | Satellite nothing too crazy going to go |
4122s | down there is the unique experience of |
4125s | being me that you're well aware that |
4127s | like I'm I'm at work today doing my job |
4129s | and every other single member is rooting |
4131s | against me in every way possible it's |
4133s | just a very unique experience of being |
4136s | SLE I'm sure you've got like one fan or |
4140s | something |
4143s | somewhere the cat or something I don't |
4149s | know here gief working out if this is |
4152s | going to be a freeze or even maybe even |
4154s | just a cell uh cell tavener upgrade |
4156s | option here although there is a a pretty |
4158s | decent board for actually just buy sell |
4160s | if he really wants to yeah we talked |
4162s | about this yesterday I think this came |
4164s | up in this exact situation on this turn |
4167s | which is patient Scout just kind of |
4169s | loses a lot of Effectiveness with this |
4171s | anomaly because normally this is the |
4173s | dream by cell uh board when you you |
4176s | missed on a token on one you missed on |
4178s | an economy unit on turn one and then |
4180s | patient Scout comes up on turn three to |
4182s | save your bacon uh but the way this |
4184s | works is just a little bit different |
4185s | because you don't really want to be |
4187s | buying a patient Scout and then selling |
4189s | that 44 for a minion that ends up being |
4191s | smaller it just doesn't really make any |
4193s | sense so yeah I do like what decided go |
4196s | to the three yep I like it still has |
4198s | pretty big minions to choose from here |
4200s | still can you put a lot out on board if |
4202s | he needs to to try and stabilize Health |
4205s | yeah going up against daus which is |
4207s | dappy right |
4209s | now and dappy is scking on one did you |
4212s | say |
4213s | dappy no which is dappy right now daus |
4217s | which is dappy right now I said have to |
4219s | check the tapes on that one okay fine I |
4222s | mean even if I did |
4225s | sounds cool whatever yeah Fair although |
4228s | I'll confess I know we were shown it so |
4231s | I apologize to Linda but I did not catch |
4233s | the quest that dappy was |
4238s | on uh no I'm not sure |
4244s | either he stayed on one and bought a lot |
4246s | of little |
4249s | dudes we need to do some detective |
4253s | work |
4255s | [Music] |
4259s | there we oh minions attack 12 times for |
4263s | tiny henchman yeah okay |
4265s | okay that makes sense with the board mhm |
4269s | which I'm presuming we'll be completing |
4272s | this turn just on how many attacks you'd |
4274s | get on average up until this point yeah |
4277s | especially with the reborn as well |
4278s | that's going to help push one extra |
4279s | through uh potentially okay with the |
4282s | death RS maybe I'm not sure if the |
4283s | minion on the other side are big enough |
4285s | no no they're not say I would expected |
4287s | it to be three or four and it was six I |
4289s | think he needed at the start so yeah he |
4291s | going take one more time to get that |
4293s | activated yeah I also had that quick |
4295s | weird disconnect to it's like oh yeah |
4297s | not everyone stayed on one and playing |
4299s | Seven minions right like |
4305s | no oh nice double level wow yeah I mean |
4309s | this is like a legitimate sighting in |
4311s | the wild of shiny curve which is not |
4314s | really something that anyone has done |
4316s | for quite some time at a high level this |
4318s | used to be very very popular um back in |
4321s | avenge meta days we were talking about |
4323s | that yesterday uh of staying on one |
4325s | until seven gold and then on seven gold |
4327s | you can double level and then hopefully |
4329s | by that point you have one or two |
4331s | triples locked up in the shop and then |
4333s | you can try and take those into fours or |
4335s | fives uh at your leisure not a very |
4338s | popular curve these days at all so uh uh |
4341s | that be kind of pushing the boat out a |
4342s | little bit Yeah and beat b doing the fun |
4344s | things as Tess as well H getting the pig |
4347s | death rattles along with the nooth |
4350s | fish it's going to start stacking a lot |
4353s | of damage or power second instance of |
4355s | the tournament of uh Tess turning into |
4357s | nooth right we saw it from dog yesterday |
4359s | as well with the one of his favorite |
4361s | builds the the the merlock nooth |
4366s | build the corruption gets |
4372s | everyone |
4375s | I mean you give a Tess a fish she'll |
4377s | fish for a day teach a Tess to fish I |
4380s | don't know there's something there I'll |
4381s | work it out later corrupt Tess as a |
4384s | servant of an old God she'll fish for a |
4388s | while got ring to it right |
4393s | yes Z putting out significant damage |
4396s | water loot 27 Health satellite also down |
4399s | there in the below |
4402s | 30s |
4405s | a hit there yeah took a hit but it's |
4407s | actually up this turn and I think this |
4409s | this is when it happens right I think a |
4410s | lot of times with the old shiny curve |
4413s | you would expect to win most fights up |
4415s | until you spend your entire turn double |
4416s | leveling and then you expect to lose |
4418s | that fight a lot of the |
4420s | time okay this feels like it almost has |
4424s | to be Duo doesn't it what are you dooing |
4428s | though there's nothing on your board |
4429s | that you're really interested in you |
4430s | don't need anything |
4432s | yet yeah I'm just thinking like do the |
4436s | other two really have that much of an |
4438s | impact right now because they they |
4440s | they're not going to have the stats |
4442s | right they don't have the bonus stats |
4443s | every |
4446s | turn yes but in a Lobby where everyone |
4450s | is going to have massive minions |
4451s | guaranteed because that's what the |
4452s | anomaly does the other two are extremely |
4455s | good at dealing with that |
4457s | situation do you not think the manor |
4458s | Roth just dies I mean it does surv a hit |
4462s | it it won for one something |
4464s | 300 300 you know it Canen I do think |
4468s | Bramble Witch is the best pick though |
4469s | cuz Bramble witch will actually would |
4470s | actually value trade um which is kind of |
4474s | the the business that you want to be in |
4477s | right I just think Duo is too ambitious |
4480s | right like dappy's weak he was weak last |
4482s | turn he took a hit he's weak this turn |
4484s | he's going to take another hit so you |
4486s | are betting your game on finding like |
4489s | the absolute nuts four drop next turn to |
4492s | be able to to that's PR with the duo and |
4495s | like what even is that I think the moral |
4498s | of the story is the three offers were |
4500s | not great yep |
4504s | agreed perfect fight for beat babbit as |
4507s | well wins the fight but just about gets |
4510s | the full value off the uh the blood gem |
4512s | Buffs with the fish |
4519s | D forever oh okay looks like tomb's |
4522s | going to uh pop off as gxes want to |
4527s | do yo sick turn as well two s's and a |
4531s | patient Scout in the same turn as a |
4532s | gwick that is absolutely what you want |
4535s | to be seeing did whiff on the patient |
4537s | Scout though had the option for the Naga |
4539s | or the cemental to be able to Triple |
4541s | didn't hit |
4542s | either oh yes please that's probably a |
4545s | huge buff on the uh emerg |
4551s | flame is this |
4554s | like what what are you looking at in |
4556s | this shop actually CU there's a couple |
4558s | of good offerings you've got the base |
4560s | skill for the scour there's also the |
4561s | elemental as well but it looks like |
4563s | Tom's going to roll |
4564s | [Music] |
4566s | past begin I a little bit surprised yeah |
4569s | there were some good choices in there |
4572s | hey what do you think tomb's like what |
4574s | what's the perfect choice right what's |
4576s | what's the role for then like what what |
4577s | is he trying to hit cuz I honestly don't |
4582s | know what this setup um obviously like |
4585s | good Naga Buffs are good because you |
4587s | casting spells is good for uh the lava |
4590s | lurker and also you get the buff so this |
4592s | is a decent minion to end on for sure |
4594s | but also he he just has the re the free |
4597s | rerolls right so I think he just really |
4599s | wanted to only be buying Elementals cuz |
4602s | they're so much more efficient than |
4603s | anything else and other token minions |
4605s | just for the sake of gwick um like he |
4607s | knows his goal right now is just to |
4609s | generate as much money as possible and |
4610s | try and ramp to six and and be broken |
4612s | right I'm just surprised there was a |
4613s | skip on the death rattle Elemental |
4615s | that's all yeah no I think that's fair |
4618s | it was a reasonable |
4623s | buy not quite as good a clown car as we |
4626s | were seeing in the previous game was it |
4628s | not quite unless this coin hits the |
4629s | board somehow not |
4635s | quite W yeah you know how I said uh |
4638s | dappy was weak for two turns not not |
4641s | weak anymore yeah that is quite good |
4644s | there a ton of damage going water loot |
4646s | also going down to that 11 Health |
4648s | looking |
4649s | the 19 gold okay let's go he's Off to |
4653s | the |
4655s | Races it's good to |
4658s | gets just look at all the the he's |
4661s | rolling into like the perfect value |
4663s | minions as well yep another |
4666s | Tad he just |
4669s | needs another base SK he just needs |
4671s | stuff in hand right |
4674s | well he need something to start buffing |
4675s | should I say if he wants to get or or |
4677s | tech cards to get something out of these |
4678s | base skills yeah the issue is there's |
4680s | nothing really paying this off right now |
4682s | right like there's not there's no elisee |
4684s | which could have been generating three |
4686s | four five golden monkeys by this point |
4687s | as well with the the the free rolls |
4690s | there's um not really like if you'd have |
4693s | hit a golden party Elemental like |
4695s | earlier in the game he could just be |
4696s | chucking a whole bunch of stats around |
4697s | as he's doing all this stuff anyway um |
4700s | no real murloc scaling or anything like |
4701s | that no triple into a gust or a Bran or |
4704s | anything like that just yet so he is |
4707s | just kind of generating money at the |
4709s | moment and he does have at least one |
4710s | more free fight to be able to do that |
4712s | but he needs to hit something and hit |
4714s | something soon because otherwise he's |
4716s | just going to get smacked |
4719s | twice also hang on can we go take a look |
4721s | at be babit he's still on three and |
4723s | winning every fight what's what's going |
4725s | on up |
4726s | there I see okay |
4731s | noted not a bad board I would |
4734s | say oh he's multi fished of course how |
4737s | foolish of |
4738s | me you unlock the uh the talent Point |
4742s | dual wield fish |
4745s | MH is he still strong though say his |
4749s | facing down not not an insignificant |
4751s | board I would say yeah wiim Fury not |
4754s | hitting any of the fish is probably a |
4755s | little bit frustrating at least in terms |
4756s | of the impct on the late game but that's |
4758s | huge that's the attack for sure |
4762s | y |
4764s | oh okay reduced it down a kind of a |
4768s | little bit also Mega first world |
4771s | problems he's actually too strong to get |
4773s | any kind of fish value right now right |
4775s | like that was that was four plus four on |
4780s | blood gems and six actual blood gems |
4783s | that he missed out on just by being way |
4785s | too |
4787s | strong oh water loot not looking too |
4790s | great although I think he's still alive |
4792s | just |
4794s | at least you won't have to worry about |
4795s | taking uh you know doing damage numbers |
4797s | anymore it's h lose and dead who are you |
4801s | oh you're dappy on your bandwagon okay |
4805s | all right getting a bit worried |
4808s | S I mean my turn one badwagon is is is |
4812s | multi fishing and killing the entire |
4814s | Lobby right now so I'm feeling good felt |
4817s | good there last game as well well no I |
4819s | didn't because it was a Tav seven |
4822s | LOB |
4826s | little bird here on the uh singular fish |
4830s | play with the being the TR nooth of |
4835s | course I'm not sure big the bream is but |
4837s | I don't think it's that big1 you know |
4840s | your board's great you know you're |
4842s | you're happy with this merlock nooth is |
4843s | one of the strongest things you can do |
4845s | in the game but you do always have that |
4847s | feeling as naar of like you you have |
4850s | some lobbies and like there's a Tess and |
4851s | a scabs and whatever else in there and |
4853s | then someone muron your fish as well and |
4855s | then like every other player in the |
4857s | lobby is just a better nooth and you s |
4859s | there with your single fish but I picked |
4861s | this hero how am I supposed to feed the |
4864s | masses with this solitary |
4867s | fish there are no tails of your that |
4870s | give me any instruction on how to do |
4872s | this this was supposed to turn into many |
4877s | fish the day little bird found out he |
4880s | was not the chosen one |
4885s | where's mama bird to just spit endless |
4888s | fish into little Bird's mouth that's |
4890s | what we |
4892s | need where's David at and B to tell us |
4894s | about |
4901s | it how big is your Clown |
4905s | H so just go right unlucky it never goes |
4909s | right still I would say eight is getting |
4912s | off lightly at this PO stage in the game |
4914s | right it's going to put him under 15 |
4916s | though which is unfortunate dappy took a |
4918s | big hit down to 12 as well oh |
4924s | no be a babit it's time to do something |
4927s | I've gots for at least got uh full value |
4930s | that turn it looks |
4931s | like got the uh the full six gems |
4936s | mhm oh I didn't catch what the gem was |
4939s | actually on them satellite going to get |
4941s | Triple into a six here |
4946s | going go for the murky oh Jo is about to |
4949s | go off likely to go off on the murky as |
4952s | well |
4956s | mhm oh we are just informed uh by our |
4959s | tech support the game one the Barrel's |
4961s | blessing was |
4962s | 97% in favor of the uh the losing party |
4966s | in terms of how many people picked it I |
4968s | presume that is |
4972s | yeah so uh sorry we'll take the L for |
4975s | that one clearly you all only picked it |
4977s | because we were saying that the clearly |
4979s | stronger board was going to win yeah I |
4982s | am quite influential |
4988s | yes checking in now with gief oh gief |
4993s | got into a position of having to play a |
4996s | bream yeah it does this is kind of the |
5000s | medium position to have to play a bream |
5002s | in right like it sucks CU you don't have |
5004s | base skill that is just a fact but if |
5006s | you have two breams then playing one's |
5008s | okay because if you hit the triple you |
5010s | then do get it back into your hand right |
5012s | and you can actually keep looking for |
5014s | that that necessary base skill you got |
5017s | this you're way |
5024s | ahead okay the Reon to's going to help |
5026s | soak up some of this getting rid of one |
5028s | the uh venomous already really good |
5032s | sellup there honestly F dafy just be |
5033s | able to soap as many of those venomous |
5035s | as possible on insignificant |
5038s | minions yeah looks like gief is taking a |
5040s | tonking here though and it's going to be |
5043s | a damage cap I think yes it |
5047s | is how are you liking the uh the damage |
5050s | cap change so you enjoying in your own |
5053s | play I yes and no I think damage cap is |
5057s | a very complex uh dis topic which I |
5061s | don't really have time to go into with |
5063s | as much Nuance as I would like uh during |
5066s | this broadcast I think there are upsides |
5068s | of the new system I think there are |
5069s | downsides of the new system as well and |
5071s | that's that's not a diplomatic answer if |
5073s | I thought it sucked I would say it sucks |
5075s | I hope people have heard me cast for |
5077s | long enough to know that that's true um |
5080s | but I think the the the the damage cap |
5082s | in general I think is something that is |
5084s | going to be a long-term thing that needs |
5087s | to be iterated on by the team it |
5091s | fight |
5094s | here they TB popping off once again on |
5096s | gwick and for a second then as well has |
5099s | found a thing to do right which we were |
5101s | talking about several turns ago it is a |
5103s | solitary Nomi but if any hero in the |
5105s | game is going to be able to carry a |
5107s | solitary Nomi it is going to be uh the |
5110s | good old G |
5111s | wh yeah and tomb proof to was yesterday |
5113s | he can do these kind of turns as well |
5115s | right you know these high APM High Focus |
5118s | turns going all the way to the timer |
5120s | ticking down to zero and still getting a |
5122s | good job done I didn't like that one |
5125s | either here's a gold for the trouble oh |
5127s | and there goes the Nomi I am what |
5130s | happened he didn't buy a party Elemental |
5133s | that was bigger than all of the minions |
5135s | he has on his board right |
5136s | now oh not party Elemental a uh Gusty |
5139s | trumeter I mean yeah I guess does he |
5141s | just want to just get out of it now and |
5143s | just say that's enough it's looking that |
5146s | way uh because there's enough tech cards |
5148s | right to fill out as well |
5151s | mhm |
5153s | maybe this is a play for not last from |
5157s | tomb CU again no one can win the |
5160s | tournament in this game right so I think |
5162s | this might be just not tons of great |
5166s | Direction so just playing and and grab |
5169s | points while you can just don't come at |
5171s | that that last place it also depends |
5174s | heavily on how much information you have |
5175s | on your opponent which we don't have the |
5177s | information of how much information they |
5179s | have which if that makes any sense right |
5181s | like if you just know that your opponent |
5183s | was this strong uh then there's no point |
5186s | in buying more stats right you have to |
5187s | find scam minions well like oh leave the |
5190s | Nomi on the board right it's like not |
5192s | really going to help |
5195s | oh tavn five aluto is so you're alive at |
5198s | one oh so actually they're roaching up |
5202s | from tomb and leveraging as hard as |
5204s | possible into the golden base skill with |
5205s | the two scam minions uh May well have |
5208s | actually granted him a reprieve of one |
5210s | Health to to play again this turn so |
5212s | very and already arguably gained him a |
5214s | point right because that's waterl out |
5217s | which means Tom has survived one extra |
5219s | place so we can go to checking other |
5221s | players there is a okay now we're back |
5223s | to regular scheduled viewing now where |
5225s | the bottom three players are currently |
5227s | my whole uh old team yeah also if I can |
5231s | just continue to be salty for a second |
5233s | two games into this day and both of |
5236s | those games have gone longer than 10 |
5238s | turns without an elimination which I |
5240s | said yes to yesterday and lost |
5243s | on I am actually the unluckiest person |
5246s | in the world I hope you all know that if |
5248s | you need help next time with your |
5250s | predictions you can just ask I'll give |
5251s | you a hand it's okay honestly I I will |
5254s | Christian you in a second okay like |
5256s | don't think I won't I won't repeat that |
5258s | clip I posted on Twitter live on air |
5260s | right in front of you cuz I will I was |
5263s | just getting confused I thought you said |
5264s | you'd Christian me I did oh yeah I was |
5267s | like what what is the offering to do |
5269s | it's Christian that says it to Edge |
5271s | that's right yeah that's who the other |
5273s | person is in that video I just thought |
5275s | you were talking about something else |
5276s | and I was getting very confused right I |
5278s | haven't looked at this at all because |
5280s | I've been too busy talking to you about |
5281s | being unlucky and and wrestling uh |
5284s | what's going on uh I don't know who to |
5292s | pick a good tactical |
5299s | Choice same |
5301s | actually |
5303s | Raven has picked Bey babia look I I |
5307s | rushed and got stressed my and I was |
5310s | looking at the other monitor while I was |
5312s | typing okay okay if everyone in chat can |
5314s | just check to see if a player called BT |
5316s | babia is going to win this fight or not |
5318s | cuz I don't think they are from what I |
5322s | can |
5323s | see you just got to squint a little bit |
5329s | so here though the uh the fish getting a |
5332s | good job done oh go right thank you oh |
5336s | wow yeah that was really really good te |
5340s | going to guess it's going to be in a |
5341s | little bit of trouble now there's |
5342s | something in the clown car yeah as long |
5343s | as there was something in the clown car |
5345s | that's going to be a win for beta uh so |
5347s | I correctly predicted be a babit and |
5349s | unfortunately for Raven BT babia did not |
5352s | did not win the uh the fight so unlucky |
5355s | see what s has to stoop to to uh try and |
5358s | hinder my you know professional |
5360s | prediction |
5361s | picks oh who was that just going down oh |
5366s | tomb does end up taking down yeah an |
5369s | extra 1 point five points then in the |
5371s | end for the the decision to Roach up on |
5373s | the previous turn and just try and |
5375s | survive it does sound like a lot but |
5377s | over the course of let's say you know |
5379s | four maybe five games like that could be |
5381s | the difference we've seen haven't we |
5382s | players on like 19 points which means |
5385s | they're a whole game behind where they |
5387s | would like to be hitting that 20 points |
5389s | earlier yeah out |
5393s | now we've got our top five here dappy |
5395s | and gief on their very low numbers but |
5398s | honestly little bird and Al teamu may as |
5400s | well be just as low G life has got |
5402s | significantly |
5408s | better he's found a base skill and |
5410s | tripled his bream so it went back in |
5412s | hand it looks like he is just going to |
5413s | look to play it though mhm try and |
5415s | triple into a mano or a LeRoy or |
5418s | something to hold in hand yeah doesn't |
5419s | really hit I don't think I beat Gio is |
5421s | what he was particularly looking for in |
5422s | that |
5424s | instance yeah and again I think the |
5426s | playing of this and just throwing down |
5428s | everything he can is very much |
5429s | indicative of being on five health and |
5432s | just grabbing as many points as possible |
5435s | yep uh way effect just well speaking of |
5439s | Ripple effects the ripple effect of be |
5440s | babit winning the previous fight right |
5442s | is that his opponent had two uh mles on |
5447s | the board with be babbit playing a Bas |
5450s | skill double fish setup so therefore as |
5455s | scsit is goinging Prett Ry for the next |
5459s | fews I would think see how this fight |
5461s | goes cuz there's some extra Divine |
5463s | Shields to sprinkle in |
5465s | here it always depends on what the base |
5467s | skills are going to |
5470s | achieve that's a full divide Shield |
5472s | board as well perfectly laid out with |
5474s | the uh the positioning and the attack |
5475s | sequence very very |
5479s | nice nice really good trades there for |
5481s | uh little thir yep and it looks like |
5485s | it's going to be a kill yeah especially |
5487s | with more Divine Shields going off as |
5489s | well there was a LeRoy in the fish as |
5492s | well I didn't even think of that yeah |
5493s | disgusting stuff yeah uh just enough |
5496s | damage there yeah to get that job done |
5498s | and that is going to be gief out at |
5499s | fourth place and dappy going down as |
5502s | well so now we've got our top three be |
5505s | babbit once again at least at this stage |
5507s | of the game just like last game looking |
5510s | comfortable on the highest health total |
5511s | by a large margin little bird and aluu |
5514s | may have something to say about that and |
5516s | I needed this raven this is a this is a |
5518s | big recovery game for for me and the |
5520s | points I think because this was a turn |
5522s | one BW bandwagon for beat babit for me |
5525s | and I think your bandwagon pick was |
5526s | dappy who just went out right is correct |
5528s | correct yeah and then be babit is in my |
5530s | fantasy team as well so this is this is |
5532s | a good recovery from where I'm sat yeah |
5535s | third's not bad for the fantasy team |
5537s | pick I |
5538s | guess altimo and little bird are going |
5541s | to do me a favor I mean those are some |
5542s | big |
5546s | Elementals |
5549s | yeah it would be a shame if you know |
5551s | your stats didn't really |
5553s | matter wow heard it here first |
5556s | Battleground tips from sutle stats don't |
5561s | matter when merlocks are in the lobby I |
5564s | off here Divine Shield stats can I |
5567s | interest you in those yeah the Divine |
5569s | Shields are obviously fantastic and |
5570s | there is another glow scale in hand as |
5571s | well on a serious note and a selfless |
5573s | hero so alu's board is very very very |
5577s | very strong here it just depends um how |
5581s | absurd beta babbit's um base skill fish |
5584s | setup is right now also look how big |
5586s | this Leroy is yeah you doesn't even need |
5589s | his death rattle it's going to kill |
5590s | stuff |
5599s | anyway I'm getting the distinct |
5601s | impression that which whatever server |
5602s | we're on it's not the apack one cuz aluu |
5605s | does not seem to be having a great time |
5607s | with this APM stuff right now yeah it |
5610s | it's a very weird circumstance where |
5612s | you're spamming buying and selling |
5615s | minions yet your gold is going up yeah |
5618s | yeah because he was on 18 a few seconds |
5621s | ago I think or 19 and it's now at 23 now |
5624s | 24 so yeah kind of interesting that um |
5627s | you're in this sort of uh loop so gold |
5629s | is infinite now for alimu as long as he |
5631s | just obviously keeps doing the thing but |
5634s | it's just how he finishes again there's |
5635s | another selfless available in that shot |
5637s | to go for too does have this sort of |
5640s | kind of cleave effect on the elemental |
5643s | on the far |
5644s | left forever could opt for just another |
5647s | Leroy but I think it's odd in this |
5649s | situation because of Bas Gill leroys on |
5653s | board actually don't feel as strong |
5655s | right because yeah it doesn't even want |
5657s | for one even though it arguably should |
5659s | cuz that's kind of the point of the card |
5661s | because it will then just pull another |
5662s | card from your opponent's hand that is |
5664s | going to be the um extra Divine Shield |
5666s | picked up as well which going to be |
5667s | really |
5670s | nice uh still on 24 gold now on 25 here |
5673s | we go looking |
5675s | good I'll I'll uh I'll give you a little |
5677s | peek behind the curtain I promise you |
5680s | and I don't know this for a fact if we |
5681s | were to switch to anyone else's POV |
5683s | right now it's NE it's next turn |
5688s | yeah okay well let's see how this turns |
5690s | fight goes |
5695s | a slight stat difference |
5703s | slightly okay big cleave one Leroy goes |
5705s | into the fish but yeah the base skill |
5707s | was not good enough not even close to |
5709s | good |
5710s | enough and even like the Divine Shield |
5712s | hit the venomous you know like not that |
5714s | it would would have overly mattered but |
5716s | these are the things that start to |
5717s | really add |
5718s | up and on oh the Divine Shield manner |
5721s | off okay okay it's still going to end up |
5723s | going into a LeRoy like the Divine |
5725s | Shield manner off was a chance at an out |
5727s | but then aluu still just had a surviving |
5729s | Leroy left on the board which was going |
5731s | to uh put pay to any of that nonsense so |
5734s | yeah this is now the next round fight |
5737s | after the one that we just watched so |
5739s | aliu is desyn so heavily with the the |
5742s | elemental APM that he's essentially |
5744s | caused us to skip an entire shot phase |
5747s | ALU is so powerful that he can just |
5750s | shift Through Time |
5752s | so each of these fish has a LeRoy in |
5754s | them now right so that means these are |
5756s | going at least one for one like that's |
5758s | now dead yeah I mean you can just see |
5760s | it's gross right this is this is |
5761s | disgusting this is borderline unbeatable |
5764s | it looks |
5766s | like yeah and this actually feels um and |
5769s | you can tell me if I'm wrong but this |
5771s | feels like the top of the Hearthstone |
5774s | Battlegrounds power level like doing |
5776s | this is the at least I think the most |
5778s | powerful just thing you can do in any |
5781s | game |
5782s | yours really P |
5787s | their completely agree particularly when |
5790s | you have access to uh to more than one |
5792s | fish right that's when it becomes |
5793s | ridiculously obnoxious because right now |
5795s | like forget about the rest of the board |
5797s | forget about all of the minions in hand |
5800s | he has three leroys in play so that's |
5802s | three Minions that are immediately |
5804s | deleted from his opponent's board right |
5806s | one Leroy attacks and then he has two |
5808s | fish that also then become leroys so |
5811s | they're straight up going to deal with |
5812s | half of your board and then the other |
5815s | what 9 10 11 Minions that he has |
5817s | remaining after that point after all the |
5819s | base skills have gone off your remaining |
5821s | three or four minions has to deal with |
5823s | that like no that's not going to |
5829s | happen also wait what ALU died oh yeah |
5834s | it's not updated on the overlay alimu |
5836s | died yes it's little just little bird |
5837s | versus be babit then I was confused why |
5840s | the three Health was above the 12 |
5842s | but yeah apologies about that the |
5843s | overlay I think it's probably because |
5844s | alimu is like I don't know still |
5847s | catching up maybe for whatever the |
5848s | overlay is linked to um but yeah it is |
5851s | just look at the actual ingame overlay |
5853s | on the left and it is H just the two |
5855s | players that are left it's not |
5857s | necessarily the fact that uh cuz you |
5859s | know I understand like the animation |
5860s | delay causes things to happen I'm |
5862s | literally surprised aluu died um but I |
5866s | get I okay I guess the board that we |
5867s | were looking at had the product of |
5869s | several like glow scales and selfless |
5871s | Heroes and stuff thrown onto it so if |
5873s | you don't then find all that stuff the |
5875s | next turn afterwards you're |
5876s | significantly weaker than what we were |
5878s | looking at that turn but it really did |
5880s | feel like to me that The Showdown was |
5881s | going to be between uh between be babit |
5883s | and ALU and not be babit and Little Bird |
5886s | yeah and either way little bird here |
5887s | especially being on such low health and |
5889s | also being the weaker of the tuna off |
5891s | players in the lobby weirdly enough um |
5894s | so you take this as a victory right |
5896s | because even though be babbit looks like |
5899s | they're going to win I mean we'll wait |
5900s | till it's over till it's over |
5902s | but at this point in the tournament it |
5906s | is just a onepoint difference right |
5908s | there's there's nothing there's nothing |
5909s | else to it because it's not like this is |
5911s | going to make beer babbit that much more |
5914s | likely to actually finish first because |
5916s | that'll happen a little bit later on but |
5917s | yeah be babbit is going to take the |
5920s | victory there take out little bird and |
5922s | finish up this game with a win on turn |
5926s | 16 absolutely disgusting it looked like |
5931s | a close fight right up until the end |
5932s | when you realize that that fish had got |
5934s | the combined total of four base skills |
5937s | going into it and beat babbit had enough |
5938s | scam minions in hand to be able to |
5940s | fulfill that quota like yeah if you get |
5943s | up to that point like particularly |
5945s | weirdly enough like that's two test |
5947s | games in a row for beta and that was the |
5949s | game where he actually had to level |
5951s | because you need to be able to get |
5953s | enough um scam minions in your hand |
5955s | right and because it's a Bas skill Lobby |
5958s | yeah that doesn't necessarily mean |
5960s | everyone else is putting their scam |
5961s | Minions on the board cuz they've got |
5963s | their scam minions in their hand as well |
5965s | cuz they're summoning them from their |
5966s | base skills so you can't necessarily |
5968s | steal all those tools from your |
5969s | opponents you sometimes do just have to |
5971s | level up and and find them yourself um |
5973s | but yeah beta is is clearly showing he |
5976s | knows how to navigate his way through |
5977s | some Test games because he has done |
5979s | incredibly well with test both today and |
5981s | yesterday I believe yeah yeah we'll have |
5983s | to keep an eye on how that hero performs |
5985s | if we continue to see it throughout the |
5987s | day but we've got plenty more games |
5989s | coming up we'll give you an update on |
5990s | where the standings look look after this |
5992s | break don't go anywhere we'll be right |

6175s | [Music] |
6179s | [Applause] |
6182s | welcome back everyone we're just coming |
6183s | off the back of game two where be babit |
6185s | did dominate with yet another test pick |
6188s | so uh definitely going to be a hero |
6190s | going to keep our eye out for or even a |
6192s | hero that maybe we going to keep our |
6193s | eyes for specifically if be babbit gets |
6196s | off of it but so what did you make of |
6197s | that last game anything really stand out |
6199s | for you uh even though we're in the ear |
6201s | early stages of the day yeah I mean you |
6203s | covered the big talking point right is |
6205s | that like beta just seems to be so |
6208s | comfortable and Adept on Tess and I |
6209s | think now in two of these lobbies we've |
6212s | seen the thing where like okay Tess gets |
6213s | to steal your board and it's massive |
6215s | because of the anomaly right and |
6217s | also a fairly vanilla game of |
6220s | Battlegrounds got played right I don't |
6222s | think we mentioned the anomaly past like |
6224s | turn six or so right it was just it was |
6226s | all about just the Minions on board the |
6228s | base skills the the size of the clown |
6230s | car and where you were going from there |
6232s | that's what ended up being the story |
6234s | overall but where we are at this point |
6236s | now is a huge performance so far from |
6239s | pet babbit uh 5.5 and a seven means a |
6242s | fairly comfortable lead for him the only |
6245s | rain cloud that you can see on the |
6247s | horizon if you want to be ultra |
6249s | pessimistic is that Peter babbit is |
6251s | annoyingly uh half a point away from |
6253s | being able to check the lobby in this |
6256s | next game right even if he hits seven |
6257s | again he's going to be at 19.5 so he's |
6260s | still two G minimum away from putting |
6262s | the lobby in check and therefore three |
6263s | away from the tournament and that's what |
6265s | I was saying earlier when we were talked |
6266s | about oh maybe you know the likes of |
6268s | like tomb going a little bit more |
6269s | aggressive to get that extra like one |
6271s | and a half Point end points it ended up |
6273s | being um because that's the sort of |
6275s | difference like again if be babit gained |
6278s | an extra half point in the in game one |
6281s | we could be just saying okay well maybe |
6283s | be babit gets this Lobby in check very |
6286s | quickly in like you know world record |
6287s | speed H with just that three game Target |
6290s | but yeah it is possible but it does mean |
6293s | that be babbit can just you know as long |
6296s | as he doesn't actually completely mess |
6298s | up the next you know two then he could |
6301s | almost just plan to have the lobbying |
6303s | check at a certain game right and just |
6305s | be be sort of play around that in fact |
6308s | yeah weirdly at this point in time for |
6310s | beta babbit like a fourth and a third |
6312s | are the same thing as a first and a |
6313s | second in the next two games right like |
6315s | functionally for what it achieves it |
6317s | gets you to 20 points in two games uh oh |
6320s | hello hello uh merlocks nager no |
6324s | Elementals is that good enough for a |
6326s | gwick I know there is some disagreement |
6329s | on murlocs in no Elementals yeah is this |
6332s | a repeat anomaly I I can't remember what |
6335s | that picture is yeah that is that's plus |
6337s | one plus a plus one plus one is it yeah |
6339s | okay okay I was like I'm pretty sure it |
6341s | is but when it's a small circle I'm like |
6344s | don't know how well I recognize it but |
6346s | like you saying about that we didn't |
6347s | talk about the anomaly too much but it's |
6349s | because if everything has plus one plus |
6351s | one kind of like nothing does right to |
6354s | an extent that's kind of the approach |
6355s | but yeah it is the overgrown Arena once |
6357s | again so back to back anomalies um let's |
6361s | see what we can do now are we going to |
6362s | see a repeat is the game going to cycle |
6364s | around those murlocs again um most |
6369s | likely although there are beasts in this |
6371s | one right so that could uh really mix |
6373s | things |
6375s | up yeah beasts change things up |
6378s | significantly you do have the Beast Naga |
6380s | combin which means if anyone can find a |
6382s | fast RAC they can get into massive |
6384s | economy but uh beasts also play with |
6387s | merlocks quite nicely a different build |
6389s | of murlocs right just like a super heavy |
6391s | hand buff Bas skill build but instead |
6393s | the murky mky slash build instead um |
6397s | where you you that can really play very |
6398s | very nicely with the the RAC overall so |
6402s | um you know it's me beer in I'm going to |
6404s | talk about riy RAC a lot that's what's |
6406s | going to happen but we shall wait and |
6407s | see it's the kind of Lobby that I don't |
6409s | think anything really gets defined uh |
6411s | until players start hitting Tav four and |
6413s | tavn five right |
6416s | yeah is uh is waterl good yes okay okay |
6421s | I just typed in the Discord is waterl |
6424s | okay it's like yeah okay boom we've |
6425s | we've caught up the overlay is okay |
6427s | we're fine he was tabish there they are |
6430s | okay good |
6433s | yeah still though I think uh yeah every |
6436s | player just doing the usual level again |
6438s | with this anomaly there's no over crazy |
6441s | Shenanigans going on right it is just a |
6443s | kind of a standard game and just try and |
6445s | get ahead as you |
6447s | do literally seven players hit a token |
6451s | and little bird didn't there are there's |
6455s | four quills and three sh |
6458s | collectors across the board right now |
6460s | yeah I was just looking yeah that's kind |
6461s | of |
6465s | incredible there you go little gets to |
6467s | win fights yeah the OD the odd one out |
6470s | it's like well screw you take three |
6472s | idiot |
6475s | yeah and then little bird just hits the |
6478s | patient Scout and we have the same |
6479s | discussion again about how patient Scout |
6481s | is a little bit weird in this anomaly |
6484s | yeah it's just going to sell level and I |
6485s | would imagine that's the plan for the |
6487s | majority looks like alimu has chosen to |
6490s | pick up a |
6491s | panther pick up a panther yeah uh it's |
6495s | got a little joke written on it have |
6498s | gone to T three already yeah we could |
6501s | maybe check in with uh be of babbit as |
6503s | well because that board is starting to |
6504s | stack up as an early um Hig offensive |
6508s | it's |
6509s | happened an early Pig offensive yeah um |
6514s | what is offensive though is floating |
6515s | gold on gwick it's not quite as illegal |
6518s | as floating gold on Milhouse but it is a |
6521s | weird bit of anti- synergy that beer |
6523s | babbit has going on right now right |
6524s | because to float one gold means you have |
6526s | been inefficient with your buy selling |
6528s | over the course of the turn uh which |
6531s | very significant trickle down impact on |
6534s | your your gold economy with |
6543s | G Tim's got the uh the nagas on offer |
6548s | here honestly not bad not a bad like |
6551s | pair of nagas actually to go with as |
6552s | well right like they kind of uh help |
6554s | each other out |
6556s | here yeah really good you can continue |
6558s | just to stack up options look for more |
6561s | zesties off the first zesty just by |
6563s | chaining the uh the summoning spellcraft |
6566s | off it missed |
6568s | the I'm getting too into the game I |
6570s | missed the uh oh I wait I can still do |
6572s | it right no you're still good still turn |
6573s | four |
6575s | yeah |
6589s | uh |
6591s | okay oh I'm changing my I'm |
6594s | changing it's all right Raven you can do |
6596s | it it's fine will he type the name of |
6598s | someone |
6600s | the I did not type it |
6603s | correctly you started typing War tal and |
6606s | then yeah I mean look it's a good one |
6611s | okay I changed at the last minute |
6614s | because beasts and I saw the feather the |
6616s | feather |
6617s | Mo I knew Chris was going to do that I |
6619s | didn't put the right amount of O's in |
6621s | waterl yeah it's six right check on yeah |
6624s | it's |
6627s | six vitally important of course you get |
6630s | the correct number of |
6634s | O's look at this though I was tempted to |
6636s | even look at alimu I think the hero |
6640s | Choice put me off picking alimu just a |
6642s | little bit but the amount of value he's |
6644s | going to start getting all the amount of |
6645s | ramp he going to get from these uh it's |
6646s | going to be really really |
6649s | good |
6656s | slightly awkward shop nothing must buy |
6659s | in terms of uh buy uh buy one and level |
6662s | here I I don't mind the Naga at this |
6665s | point honestly because then you can just |
6666s | aim for trying to Triple things or at |
6668s | least give you opportunities to to |
6670s | Target right I |
6672s | don't my go to anyway the thing you're |
6675s | trying to Triple is a dual type minion |
6678s | right so you're rolling from a large |
6681s | pole you're pointing at a pirate Undead |
6683s | to try and triple at that point kind of |
6685s | weird I guess there's just not much else |
6688s | for it right and to be yeah kind of |
6694s | difficult I was wondering whether it |
6696s | would have been taunt nager as well cuz |
6698s | you know your gry Bal I think having |
6699s | that first taunt is very powerful so |
6701s | that you can control the attack into |
6703s | something which spawns more taunts and |
6705s | so |
6709s | on |
6713s | I think a chief is looking quite strong |
6715s | you know maybe not quite strong |
6718s | enough based on where these attacks go I |
6721s | no should be okay yeah it's |
6724s | fine tie at least yeah gets the bad |
6727s | attack going to get the win y yeah |
6730s | definitely building a good base with |
6731s | those nagas and those spells so that's |
6733s | going to be definitely something we keep |
6734s | an eye on Tom again trying to do |
6736s | something similar with the Naga here and |
6738s | being able to cycle a ton |
6741s | on the shot actually found one I was |
6743s | going to say still no second zesty and |
6745s | no deep blue yet from when we visited |
6747s | last |
6748s | time yeah your shop is ever so slightly |
6751s | full my |
6752s | friend good sequencing though right um |
6754s | froze first so the last minion that |
6757s | appears if he didn't want it he just |
6759s | doesn't press freeze anymore and then he |
6760s | gets one more space in the shop um and |
6764s | if he did want it he could just freeze |
6765s | again not actually relevant in that |
6767s | instance cuz his shop was too big anyway |
6769s | so it's not actually going to refresh |
6771s | there's nothing coming into it but in |
6772s | terms of good habits for situations |
6774s | where that would matter you did |
6776s | technically do it in the right order |
6777s | yeah well the situations where you lose |
6779s | nothing for doing it and maybe gain |
6781s | something right so yeah yeah always good |
6783s | to train yourself to deal with those |
6785s | satellite here though just uh got a lot |
6788s | of uh economy |
6790s | going but nothing that's really |
6792s | screaming payoff I guess the Duos there |
6794s | of course but nothing too great to combo |
6798s | it with right now yeah tons of money |
6800s | though right like three three coins in |
6802s | hand and still has the hero power |
6804s | available so we might see a like go five |
6807s | go six kind of turn soon from satellite |
6809s | if he feels uh strong enough and healthy |
6812s | enough to be able to do something like |
6813s | that good battle |
6820s | friend tomb kind of big |
6827s | though okay yeah good trade wanted to go |
6830s | right with that first attack that you |
6831s | got through just be able to carve some |
6832s | damage off the board end too bad at all |
6836s | but could have been a lot worse and |
6837s | again I think uh you are right like once |
6840s | you you're on crack like all you're |
6842s | doing is counting down the turns until |
6844s | you press the button right and then you |
6846s | play in the |
6851s | game one of those weird upbeat Duo |
6853s | scenarios again right like what are you |
6857s | proing it on this turn is now the turn |
6861s | to just go and like maybe try and roll |
6864s | it onto something like go to Five press |
6867s | the hero power and look for something to |
6869s | to double up on |
6871s | five doesn't look like that's what |
6873s | satellite's going to do but it was just |
6875s | something you know because the Duo's |
6876s | proing right may as well try and get |
6878s | something big yeah I could see it the |
6881s | other option I could see there was buy |
6882s | the two shell collectors since they only |
6884s | cost one and then triple the shell |
6887s | collector using the duo this turn yeah |
6890s | and then like next turn you can just |
6891s | level take a six kind of thing |
6893s | but it looks like he is specifically |
6896s | looking for something to pay off with |
6897s | okay now he can take a triple uh Banner |
6900s | ball with the upbeat Duo if he wants to |
6904s | kind of |
6907s | interesting yeah look like he's going to |
6909s | go for |
6917s | it I wondered if wait could he |
6922s | don't it the other way where he froze |
6923s | the shot bought something else leveled |
6925s | first then |
6929s | bought or am I being stupid wait I I'm |
6932s | not even sure what you're asking so the |
6934s | duo will go off next turn right it's |
6936s | going off right |
6939s | now yeah sure yeah oh sure sure sure |
6943s | yeah I was thinking if you can just hit |
6944s | the banner ball that you already had |
6946s | with the |
6947s | duo and freeze the other one in the shop |
6949s | so then next he can level and triple off |
6951s | the level |
6952s | chart but you can still do that anyway |
6954s | it puts the triple into your hand so you |
6956s | just you just oh sure yeah he doesn't |
6958s | need to yeah doesn't need to think yeah |
6960s | for some reason I had in my in my mind |
6961s | that it been you know it a has played so |
6963s | it's already done you going gone off the |
6965s | shot that's me being silly it was one of |
6967s | those things where like the suggestion |
6968s | was so stupid that I couldn't even work |
6970s | out what the mistake was you know I was |
6973s | just listening blank I was just trying |
6974s | to see if there was an option to just |
6975s | freeze and buy something else for that |
6977s | turn but yeah got myself turned around |
6979s | okay |
6980s | I would love to know how much this is |
6982s | worth for Alo teamu right now because |
6984s | that has been on the board since like |
6986s | turn three or |
6988s | something uh those aren't really well I |
6992s | mean Relentless mle is always a card it |
6994s | is possibly the second best card in the |
6997s | game after base School uh is this a but |
7000s | money kind of scenario here it does look |
7003s | like a butt money scenario |
7008s | yeah |
7016s | the most amazing follow-ups |
7018s | though the problem is on 17 Health you |
7021s | have to get out of this money phase and |
7024s | actually start doing something yeah if |
7026s | he can find a end of turn effects happen |
7029s | twice he's kind of popping though right |
7031s | because his basically his whole board is |
7033s | end of turn effects right now which is |
7034s | kind of |
7036s | huge oh okay I mean is a good pickup |
7041s | yeah can afford that primal thing as |
7045s | well that's money and value right at the |
7048s | same time money and value and he can |
7050s | keep it next to the |
7051s | Mery and probably just sell out of the |
7054s | the other Pig yeah exactly this just get |
7056s | all the merlocks on board yeah that |
7058s | actually was starting to look a bit |
7060s | dicey but a good recovery there I think |
7062s | for satellite that turn yeah I think so |
7064s | too um still not quite looking in the |
7067s | neighborhood of this kind of board |
7068s | though no |
7074s | still a little bit lacking in terms of u |
7076s | a zesty kuna setup right no no Lava |
7078s | lurker making these things permanent uh |
7081s | still only one deep blue does have the |
7085s | the golden zesty though which is very |
7086s | nice I do feel like as well with this |
7089s | tombs kind of decided to go for the |
7091s | aggro play right like still on tavent |
7093s | tier 4 and just going to use what he's |
7096s | got to sort of bully other players out |
7097s | of the game for now yep |
7101s | yeah I mean this is certainly one of the |
7102s | the best hav four builds in the game you |
7104s | don't really have to leave for to to |
7106s | play this build in fact you probably you |
7108s | know nerfing yourself by leaving four |
7110s | because there's nothing else that you |
7111s | really want uh one glow scale at some |
7114s | point in the game is nice when you're uh |
7116s | buffing a lava lurker right just so you |
7117s | can give it that permanent Divine Shield |
7119s | but outside of that everything that you |
7121s | want is on three and four yep second |
7124s | deep |
7125s | blue a good T lovely stuff |
7130s | which means golden deep blue because |
7133s | he no reason not to press the button I |
7135s | think on that |
7137s | one yeah golden turning your regular |
7139s | deep blue into a golden deep blue is |
7141s | probably the biggest individual power |
7143s | Spike that that build |
7145s | gets seeing a message from Linda he sold |
7148s | the thing how is that helpful hang |
7153s | on what does he sold the thing no the uh |
7156s | the the undead pirate that sells for a |
7158s | million gold got it you know what I said |
7161s | how how much is he going to sell for so |
7162s | I'm guessing he's just had a large turn |
7165s | I'll say consider he's now T tier six |
7168s | and he's bought stuff |
7171s | yeah significant power Spike and also |
7174s | hit pretty good minions too considering |
7177s | what hero he |
7180s | is yeah absolutely no fail stomper or |
7184s | anything like that though which is a |
7186s | little bit of a detriment I think that's |
7187s | kind of that's end game for ALU right |
7189s | now |
7190s | is just to actually turn these tokens |
7193s | into something powerful with fell |
7195s | stomper octosari that kind of thing Croc |
7198s | is a good makeway though it is turn nine |
7200s | by the way this board is qu quite good |
7203s | for turn I was going to say I think this |
7205s | will stabilize him for the foreseeable |
7210s | future he's going to be going into Sky |
7213s | Captain crack which is satellite of |
7215s | course on 12 health so satellite |
7217s | definitely in the danger zone in terms |
7219s | of death and this board from alimu looks |
7222s | uh threatening is the word I'll |
7225s | say uh yeah satellite kind of |
7231s | died there's no way right no dead |
7236s | already I mean the Gast is the gas can |
7238s | solo and even after that it would still |
7241s | death rattle and look at the extra value |
7243s | alu's got he's going to be able to find |
7245s | exactly what he |
7248s | needs |
7250s | so sat going out in eighth unless water |
7253s | is going to bite the dust as well watero |
7255s | does bite the dust as well |
7260s | okay so two players going out for |
7263s | 7.5 six to |
7266s | go be babit looking a little bit uh |
7269s | dicey there SLE just going to throw that |
7271s | out |
7272s | there yeah again for turn 10 though |
7275s | pretty good board that'll do some damage |
7277s | it's okay it's okay they the the the |
7280s | worry is at this point is one slip one |
7283s | strong opponent right and it's done it's |
7286s | done cuz nine health is |
7291s | nothing yeah I would be amazed if you uh |
7294s | lost a fight from here and survived |
7296s | right it would literally like have to be |
7298s | a a one drop token some like coming from |
7301s | something that that you lose to right |
7303s | cuz people aren't really going to have |
7305s | uh Tav one t two Minions on their board |
7307s | at this point it' be like a situation we |
7308s | saw earlier where um like a base Gill |
7311s | would grab a minion that was left in |
7313s | Hand by accident or something right and |
7315s | it's like kicked out a one drop |
7318s | yeah that's a great play I can't wait to |
7322s | see this shake |
7324s | out little bird again just uh get some |
7328s | work done holding |
7330s | on currently H 7.5 points for little |
7334s | bird H going into this game so even a |
7337s | top four would put him in you know |
7339s | within throwing distance of getting the |
7340s | lobby in check next |
7345s | game and beer babbit has or at least |
7348s | getting close to doing a good enough job |
7350s | I would say I would say that top four is |
7352s | probably the main goal considering his |
7354s | point total yeah but even if he picks up |
7356s | two or three points this game right like |
7358s | we were talking about that puts him in |
7359s | Striking Distance of the 20 point |
7361s | threshold realistically for the next |
7363s | game right so yeah I was just mean like |
7364s | a top four would put him within a more |
7367s | comfortable position right because it's |
7369s | like oh I just sort of kind of go for a |
7371s | fifth or top four again and it's no |
7374s | problem so I think the worry when you're |
7376s | in this kind of position for beat babbit |
7380s | is you if you whiff and you add a whole |
7384s | extra game to the tournament basically |
7386s | you know for you to get it in check you |
7388s | start to feel really |
7391s | bad y tomb kind of big though yeah again |
7396s | bully style coming out here putting down |
7398s | the uh the pain on alimu pushed him all |
7401s | the way to 12 Health which again is's |
7403s | close enough to uh one loss equals Death |
7407s | we saw that board from ALU last turn or |
7409s | two turns ago now as it is on turn 11 |
7412s | and it was no joke and that was quite |
7414s | comfortably handled by by tomb's board |
7417s | and that's what I was talking about |
7418s | before right like aluu Yay has a bunch |
7420s | of crazy six drops and a ton of death |
7422s | rattles and his gy b right and that's |
7424s | fantastic but without a fail stomper or |
7426s | something else to pay it off with he is |
7428s | going to lose to Raw stats like this |
7430s | like that is just going to |
7433s | happen yeah the the effects on the cards |
7436s | are good but being able to actually |
7438s | stack is really important and speaking |
7439s | of that we're going to get a fight tomb |
7441s | versus |
7445s | gief have not seen gief for quite some |
7448s | time and there are some things happening |
7451s | on this board gief is playing cards comp |
7455s | and uh making the best of it really |
7458s | weird Bas kill hand as well consider |
7461s | it's |
7468s | golden surely you have to sell through |
7470s | for one of these leroys do you not I |
7473s | guess at 37 you don't I forget like from |
7476s | our perspective both of these players |
7478s | are fighting as hard as possible to win |
7479s | this fight cuz to us this is extremely |
7482s | important yeah I I would actually say um |
7485s | the reason not to is |
7487s | to just take the damage and use the |
7490s | cards that are in hand right exactly |
7492s | yeah yeah but at 37 gief's just like |
7494s | well damage cap is still in play like |
7496s | whatever I'm not going to if he loses |
7498s | he'll get the Buffs right with the fa T |
7500s | so it's like yeah that's yeah sure I'll |
7502s | take a hit whatever yeah I think G |
7504s | efficient kind of straight up throwing |
7506s | this fight to be |
7507s | honest on purpose on purpose yes yeah |
7511s | but just to add that people be like wow |
7512s | salt just |
7518s | through |
7524s | yeah really really large amount of stats |
7526s | here coming out still a close one oh |
7528s | wait okay for a second then I couldn't |
7532s | quite see the health and I was like wait |
7533s | is that is that loss but no Tom is going |
7536s | to win but I think that was very very |
7539s | well done by Chief like almost the |
7541s | perfect outcome |
7544s | right d just straight back at |
7548s | it second lava lurker yeah |
7552s | sure has enough zestes to be able to |
7555s | support a second lava lurker that makes |
7563s | sense was that a draw |
7568s | there still no real payoff this is it |
7571s | right it's just fell stoer fell stoer F |
7572s | sto F |
7575s | St I think you can see the smile on the |
7577s | face like alot yeah this |
7581s | yeah it's just surviving right now like |
7582s | he power spiked very hard with the sail |
7584s | of the uh the golden pirate and now he's |
7587s | just whiffing on six really he's still |
7589s | very strong um probably this turn or |
7592s | next turn he's going to fall off a cliff |
7594s | in terms of power level yeah and this |
7596s | could be really important for alimu |
7598s | because alimu has actually gone into |
7600s | this game on nine points and I feel like |
7603s | there's such a big difference between |
7604s | let's say Fifth and Third right you know |
7607s | in terms of just achievable |
7610s | uh checking the lobby in the next game |
7612s | right so all team is probably just |
7613s | thinking oh let me just hold on for a |
7616s | couple more placements and that'll make |
7618s | the world of |
7620s | difference yeah pretty crucial actually |
7623s | uh Linda do we know who has the ghost |
7625s | fight this round can you just point that |
7627s | out to us if at all possible cuz that's |
7629s | very very crucial with how this is |
7631s | potentially GH |
7632s | check okay dappy okay dappy yeah pretty |
7635s | crucial because this board uh with the |
7637s | greatest will in the world |
7640s | sucks this is this is not doing anything |
7643s | in comparison to some of the other |
7644s | boards we're seeing so that is a pretty |
7646s | lucky role I would say for dappy to |
7648s | potentially survive while maybe even two |
7651s | of these players get eliminated well |
7652s | funly enough as well I just spoke about |
7654s | Ala being on nine points dappy also is |
7657s | on nine points so if alimu takes the |
7659s | loss here and dappy gets a win he gets |
7661s | one point up on alimu at least and you |
7665s | know gets to utilize the fact that he |
7667s | got the ghost at the right right |
7670s | time and sometimes you know that's what |
7672s | games come down to right you got you get |
7674s | the ghost you gain more MMR on ladder |
7676s | right like like that's just how the game |
7678s | works |
7680s | yep yeah ALU is just I'm missing |
7684s | something just not quite putting out the |
7685s | power there is a gas coiler that can get |
7687s | the work done it's a little close he |
7690s | does still have a like a 60 over on the |
7692s | left yeah but it's just not going to be |
7693s | enough maybe with a Leroy and a beler |
7696s | from the coiler no not quite a little |
7699s | bit too |
7700s | much yeah and with both of those being |
7703s | like a guaranteed kill right there was |
7704s | never even going to be a chance of the |
7706s | draw going on and that is going to be |
7708s | aluu going out is anyone going to join |
7711s | him I believe not so that's our top four |
7713s | with be babit on three Health |
7716s | tall you love to see |
7720s | it I don't think be babbit really has |
7722s | the kind of gallix game where he feels |
7725s | like he's going to be running away with |
7726s | this game at this point but I think |
7727s | quite happy just to grind out a top four |
7729s | from this point right said forit a |
7732s | fourth and a first are largely the same |
7734s | thing right it's going to take him two |
7735s | good games or two decent games uh to get |
7739s | to that 20o threshold and put the lobby |
7741s | in check which makes him eligible to win |
7743s | the tournament so accomplished yeah I |
7745s | would say and honestly H just if we just |
7749s | take stock at this exact moment in time |
7751s | of the lobby Legends over the course of |
7752s | the weekend beat babbit definitely up |
7755s | there as uh maybe even the star of the |
7757s | show |
7764s | G though going to have to make something |
7766s | work I see a lot of gold not a lot of |
7769s | stats and and still very much just on |
7771s | cards build right like there is not a |
7774s | wild amount of synergy going on here |
7776s | golden Bas skill is lovely of course |
7778s | pulling a golden Bramble witch and a |
7779s | LeRoy but outside of that he's just |
7781s | found stats wherever they are available |
7784s | right like golden isow great uh golden |
7786s | lava lurker with permanent Divine Shield |
7788s | great like just has got some decent |
7789s | cards just two for oneing opponent stuff |
7792s | and we are in a a top four of extremes |
7795s | here s I'm not even on about the the |
7797s | boards themselves but Tom and gief are |
7800s | on three and 3.5 Points each uh and then |
7804s | we have of course uh Peter babbit and uh |
7807s | dappy who are on you know first and |
7808s | second place at the moment on 12 and N |
7810s | so uh there kind of like two pairs of |
7813s | players fighting each other in a certain |
7815s | extent on the on the ladder here okay |
7818s | good out come for The Naz in terms of |
7820s | the the splash attacks for beta babit in |
7823s | particular oh that's not the attack for |
7826s | your Divine shielded manner off though |
7827s | straight into a LeRoy if there was any |
7830s | hope from here I think that has just |
7831s | disregarded it don't think that solitary |
7834s | 99 is going to get the job |
7838s | done what about that |
7845s | one and not enough right needed to get |
7847s | absolutely full out of the banana slam |
7851s | went down if he was going to have any |
7852s | hope yeah it's the golden as well didn't |
7854s | help but again I think mission |
7856s | accomplished for beat babit uh fourth |
7858s | place by the looks of things yes uh |
7861s | which means that yeah that's a solid |
7863s | amount of points which is going to make |
7864s | get in the lobby and check next game a |
7867s | little bit easier dappy can we get a |
7869s | dappy check please dappy lived through |
7872s | that like dappy was fighting 1 to tomb |
7874s | apparently dappy de 17 to what happened |
7879s | this is a |
7881s | board is |
7885s | it I can only imagine that that mgle |
7888s | absolutely carried yeah Giga |
7897s | farmed really solid result from dappy as |
7900s | well so far and uh again even with this |
7904s | both dappy and be babit have put in a |
7907s | shift right because even though |
7909s | on points if you both put the lobby in |
7912s | check in the same within the same game |
7915s | it doesn't matter if they have more |
7916s | points than you right you've both |
7917s | achieved the goal at the same time so |
7920s | the fact that dappy is still in is huge |
7923s | right I guess actually reflecting more |
7926s | on |
7928s | this the hero power does a lot of work |
7931s | here right like there there is a |
7933s | significant amount of uh buff going on |
7936s | from the the hero power in particular |
7938s | which looking at tombs board because he |
7940s | found the lava lurkers quite late um |
7943s | tombs board is actually a little smaller |
7945s | than you might think it would be at this |
7947s | stage with the the deep blue comp so |
7949s | yeah I can see it actually thaty a |
7951s | little bit stronger than perhaps I'm |
7952s | giving him |
7957s | credit okay the hits going on one advine |
7959s | Shield not too bad at |
7961s | all and even this this wind fu is |
7964s | significant right in terms of |
7967s | damage |
7978s | double Leroy as well going to get some |
7980s | work done REO re boy reborn on |
7986s | the just one Min in the end yep so close |
7991s | but again dappy another mission |
7994s | accomplished for him going into this on |
7995s | nine points going to bag plenty of |
7997s | points to give him a shot in the next |
7999s | game anyway and now we've got a bit of a |
8001s | weird finish subtle between uh two |
8004s | players coming into this game on the |
8006s | lowest points one of them's going to be |
8008s | contending again after this or well I |
8010s | guess both of them are but one of them a |
8011s | little bit more so and it's just been a |
8013s | super Scrappy game right like oh the |
8016s | only person who's actually hit a comp |
8018s | like a recognizable fits into a nice |
8021s | little box comp is T right like he's the |
8023s | only person playing something |
8024s | recognizable gief's just absolutely on |
8026s | cards build dappy very similar just kind |
8029s | of getting carried by the hero power of |
8030s | the heroes playing be babbit kind of had |
8033s | bananas but not really not like an |
8035s | optimal banana setup or anything like |
8037s | that alitu had a busted Token build |
8040s | which didn't like busted as in not |
8042s | hitting the thing you want not busted as |
8044s | in broken where he didn't find the |
8046s | actual payoff card didn't find fell |
8047s | stomp or anything like that so no one |
8049s | just really hit the nuts this game and |
8051s | it is just high quality cards with lots |
8054s | of stats crashing into each other at |
8055s | this |
8057s | point |
8058s | a m is out okay |
8062s | sure i' |
8066s | ra go ahead and hire one of these |
8072s | recruits you got this you okay well here |
8075s | we go let's look at the potential damage |
8077s | output cuz this could be over this round |
8079s | depending on how heavily one-sided they |
8080s | are tons of stats on one side on the top |
8083s | player and there more Tech options on |
8085s | the bottom oh it double hit the same |
8088s | minion that's so unlucky okay I mean at |
8091s | least the venomous Then followed the |
8092s | leader right like that's something but |
8094s | the fact that the uh The Naz did not |
8096s | deal with two separate Divine Shields I |
8098s | think is a kind of a Nerf for |
8104s | gief and I think loses the fight because |
8107s | of it right I think if I hit one more |
8109s | Divine Shield I think he would have |
8110s | ended up winning this fight yeah there's |
8112s | also the slight unfortunate that the um |
8114s | the reduced to three was hit straight |
8116s | away as well when it got it got and then |
8118s | got taken down instantly so didn't get a |
8120s | posit yeah it was the first minion to |
8122s | die as soon as the base skill went down |
8125s | so it didn't get to you know procket |
8126s | attack which again would have |
8128s | dramatically |
8129s | helped uh that's four fell Stompers that |
8132s | gief just hit in three rolls by the way |
8134s | which alot will be looking on longingly |
8138s | at thinking it should have been me it |
8141s | should have been |
8147s | me |
8151s | gief purely in the business of scamming |
8154s | now though he saw the stats on the |
8156s | previous turn they're going to be bigger |
8158s | than that significantly this turn uh |
8161s | with G with tomb probably sprinkling in |
8163s | a couple of scam cards of his own on top |
8165s | of that although actually I imagine Tom |
8168s | just sticks with hardcore scaling for |
8169s | another turn or so right because |
8171s | unlikely either of these players one |
8174s | shot the other from here yeah unlikely |
8177s | it would have to have some very inter |
8178s | outcomes because like tomb doesn't |
8180s | actually pump a lot of damage right even |
8182s | if he wins the fight comparatively |
8184s | anyway so yeah know I'd agree with that |
8187s | I think tomb has gone to five now though |
8190s | which um I think is a nod to just |
8192s | setting up for end game like he's going |
8193s | to want to replace one or two of these |
8195s | Minions that AR 200 200 Divine Shields |
8198s | with leroys or Manor roths or something |
8200s | similar like that so needs to go five to |
8203s | some point to make that |
8204s | happen oh I do like this though I think |
8208s | think you can win this thing get some |
8210s | tokens in the |
8212s | way yeah trying to just soak as many of |
8215s | these hits as possible without uh |
8217s | hitting the good |
8219s | stuff oh was a clean kill on the Leroy |
8222s | 19 to 19 that's kind of |
8227s | funny oo there's a lot of value here |
8230s | though yeah a lot of value being removed |
8233s | though from |
8235s | two not looking like he going to be |
8237s | enough though that was a huge Bramble |
8239s | witch we saying the Bramble witch last |
8241s | time perhaps cost G for the win that was |
8243s | a massive outcome that time |
8245s | around not looking too bad at all now |
8247s | for gief and this is |
8251s | a okay again not going to be one shot |
8254s | but a significant amount of damage |
8255s | putting tomb in range of another similar |
8258s | win |
8260s | yep so now tomb does have to scramble |
8263s | needs to find some uh some final pieces |
8265s | of the |
8266s | puzzle be a skill scam of his own if he |
8269s | can does have a primal fin in hand so if |
8271s | he can find a murlock to at least go |
8273s | along with that on the board look for |
8276s | some B skill try to look for some scam |
8278s | yeah one interesting scenario as well is |
8279s | some of the tech cards don't work as |
8281s | well you like Blaster doesn't work as |
8283s | well in this anomaly right because it's |
8285s | not like Blaster damage goes up it's |
8287s | only good now for like Divine Shields as |
8288s | opposed to say you know like sniping |
8290s | leroys for example sure yeah |
8293s | yeah went with the bran and the reef |
8296s | Explorer without a mloc on board was |
8298s | able to pick up a murlock so he can |
8300s | activate the Primal fin now I imagine |
8302s | wants to squeeze that in with the bran |
8304s | as well doesn't though in the |
8306s | end would have thought I I I think I |
8309s | would have gone for two shots there at |
8311s | the base skill but I suppose on top of |
8313s | that he doesn't actually have a payoff |
8315s | for that base skill yet so still needs |
8317s | to find some kind of scam minions from |
8319s | hand the payoff is just bodies to maybe |
8323s | take a venomous hit or something right |
8325s | like that's like yeah that's like which |
8328s | it's not bad but it's not good either |
8330s | it's just acceptable at |
8334s | best how is he going to leave the space |
8342s | here yeah okay two three yeah I think |
8345s | with Divine shield on the horse it's |
8347s | fine but it's just a thought right cuz |
8349s | like you can end up just having more |
8350s | tokens to spawn tokens potentially you |
8352s | can stay on to don't think it gets there |
8355s | though the idea of the Divine shielded |
8356s | horse is nice cuz it is going to soak |
8359s | multiple attacks yeah you can see je not |
8362s | really expecting that has put the |
8363s | Bramble witch up second so the Bramble |
8365s | Witch is now just going to go straight |
8366s | into this horse for very little value so |
8369s | that is a nice outcome for Tomb at the |
8372s | beginning even the the hit killing the |
8376s | murloc was actually huge cuz that just |
8378s | still made the space effectively right |
8380s | but saved the Divine |
8384s | Shield it's Leroy outcome is now pretty |
8387s | huge |
8390s | H sit down |
8392s | kid but managed to to absolutely steal |
8396s | the tie out of nowhere at the end |
8399s | definitely felt like tomb had him outp |
8400s | positioned in that individual fight |
8402s | right with the Divine Shi horse on the |
8404s | far right um but gief just managing to |
8406s | get that scammy Leroy attack on the |
8408s | last's the problem and something I find |
8412s | difficulty with in the heads up moments |
8415s | you do your Gambit right as we saw or |
8418s | you know like the blah blah blah well |
8420s | when it doesn't win you the game I find |
8423s | it very difficult to say okay what's the |
8425s | next trick up M sleeve because it just |
8427s | gets I feel like it gets progressively |
8428s | harder to try and like outplay or out |
8431s | position or you know Mind Games your |
8433s | opponent when like your first big trick |
8435s | didn't |
8437s | work and also Tuma sold the farm to make |
8441s | that happen as well right the deep blues |
8443s | are gone the zesties are gone there is |
8445s | basically nothing happening here in |
8447s | terms of uh pumping stats so he just has |
8450s | to find some way to continue to be |
8452s | disruptive to all of these uh these |
8454s | venomous leroys and stuff that that gief |
8456s | has on the other side and I think he's |
8458s | going to run out of steam to be able to |
8459s | do that for very much longer Gast coiler |
8462s | just been dropped down as well just for |
8463s | some extra |
8465s | Shenanigans this is a real obnoxious |
8468s | late game isn't |
8472s | it yeah this has become too technical |
8475s | I'd |
8476s | say if anything these players are too |
8479s | good can we dial it back a bit you know |
8482s | what let's go bring it down to 5K |
8489s | mm you got this you're way |
8494s | ahead okay let's see who's going to get |
8496s | the better end of the stick if any this |
8499s | time or two Divine Shield peels but only |
8502s | one on the a big minion let's say going |
8505s | to go |
8506s | again |
8509s | just refres re The Shield yeah very ni |
8512s | ended up going into a 33 anyway so kind |
8514s | of decent value for gief in the end I |
8517s | think with the way those attacks ended |
8518s | up this is uh not looking good though is |
8522s | it well he does still have two kind of |
8524s | guaranteed Snipes within the base skill |
8526s | right for the two big Minions on the |
8528s | right so it can still wind up okay as |
8530s | long as the stuff on the left gets taken |
8532s | care of yeah gief Tiding up these tokens |
8534s | is actually a nightmare for Tom isn't it |
8537s | yeah so now the big deal is whether the |
8540s | the Bramble witch actually gets to |
8542s | attack or not and it doesn't which means |
8544s | that is going to be a victory this round |
8546s | for two |
8548s | yeah yeah although in terms of damage |
8551s | again both players sort of just slapping |
8552s | each other with wet noodles right |
8555s | now so we are heading into what turn |
8560s | 19 was there a turn question can't |
8564s | remember uh there was yesterday right |
8566s | there was a turn 18 yesterday but I |
8568s | think we had the opposite today today we |
8569s | had will a game end before turn 15 |
8578s | ah whereas yesterday we had a will it |
8581s | end after 18 but I think this is the |
8583s | longest game we've seen in the |
8584s | tournament so far I'm surprised the |
8586s | question hasn't ever been will the |
8588s | tournament end today in the |
8590s | [Laughter] |
8591s | UK because on time the king of all time |
8595s | zones will the tournament end today yeah |
8599s | I mean that is a I think that's actually |
8601s | a reasonable question maybe next year |
8606s | [Music] |
8614s | yeah to be clear I don't actually care |
8617s | about our times there's only one thing |
8619s | that I'm patriotic about and I think |
8620s | this applies to so many British people |
8622s | right as much as many of us despise our |
8625s | country plugs |
8628s | oh yeah we're strictly the winners in |
8630s | that aren't we we have the greatest |
8632s | plugs in the world you are all wrong and |
8634s | like any you can have this conversation |
8636s | with any British person it will be the |
8637s | same outcome our plugs are the nuts and |
8639s | you are just so dumb the first time I |
8643s | went over over the pond I was like what |
8645s | are these two flimsy little sticks doing |
8647s | here the aren't going to these aren't |
8649s | going to stick in the wall are |
8654s | they the difficulty we have over here is |
8657s | sometimes to get the plug out of the |
8665s | wall yeah sorry I have now started very |
8668s | uh intense emotional reactions in our |
8670s | production |
8672s | Discord this is not going to look good |
8675s | here for Tomb is a full golden gas |
8678s | coiler still just chilling uned and that |
8682s | looks like it's going to be enough |
8683s | damage as we get the winning strike here |
8685s | from gief and honestly |
8688s | fantastic play from gief he's not had I |
8690s | would say like the best start to the day |
8692s | of course H with only getting H zero |
8695s | points and then I think 3.5 in game two |
8698s | but I think considering we spent a |
8700s | portion of that game saying Chief just |
8703s | kind of has cards and he's converted |
8705s | that to a win and when you can do that |
8708s | that shows the quality of player gief is |
8710s | and the fact that yes there are those |
8712s | you sort of let's say scam builds or |
8713s | whatever but being able to get to that |
8716s | point in a game where everyone's trying |
8718s | to purposely push everyone else out for |
8720s | more points it's very very impressive |
8722s | overall yeah I mean he he was just kind |
8724s | of playing cards build but in the end |
8726s | like navigated really really well in the |
8728s | end in those final battles one little |
8731s | Stroke of Luck I would say again we |
8732s | don't see the odds um but it looked like |
8735s | maybe one fight there was was favored |
8737s | for Tomb and didn't end up going that |
8738s | way because of him getting the better of |
8740s | the heads up positioning battle uh but |
8742s | overall super well navigated for for |
8744s | gief and just kind of a weird Scrappy |
8747s | LOB which I think tick another box that |
8749s | we haven't yet had in this tournament |
8751s | right most of the lobbies although they |
8753s | have been varied and varied by builds |
8755s | and Minion types and anomalies they've |
8756s | all been people hitting and largely in |
8759s | that Lobby we saw what happens when no |
8761s | one really hits and they just all have |
8763s | to play Scrappy builds to make stuff |
8765s | happen yeah I do also think with that |
8767s | specific anomaly everything else you |
8769s | know it naturally looks more tame |
8771s | because the anomaly is just plus one |
8773s | plus one that we've had two in a row now |
8774s | so fingers crossed we get a new anomaly |
8776s | for the next game but we are three games |
8779s | in now we will give you an update on |
8781s | what the standings look like after this |
8782s | break don't go anywhere we'll be right |

9095s | welcome back everyone we are three games |
9098s | in now to Lobby Legends finals day we |
9101s | getting ever closer to the first player |
9103s | putting the lobby in check which means |
9104s | getting to 20 points and then from from |
9107s | that point onwards if they win a game |
9109s | they win the tournament so very very |
9112s | exciting times are to come but yeah what |
9114s | did you make of this so far Sol pretty |
9116s | um after game one I would say a slower |
9119s | buildup for the last two games mainly |
9121s | because of the anomaly yeah game one |
9123s | went absolutely wild it was the Tav s |
9125s | Lobby was a very powerful makeup of a |
9128s | tavn s lobby at that uh only really |
9131s | missing uh Pirates I guess for the |
9133s | captain Sanders full chaos uh to be able |
9136s | to make stuff happen but outside of that |
9138s | we have just had two uh overgrowth |
9140s | lobbies in a row right which are |
9142s | relatively vanilla as far as things go |
9144s | uh very few game warping synergies with |
9148s | that anomaly let's say like uh without |
9150s | demons which you know can benefit but |
9152s | from the shot being massive with the |
9153s | eating effects it's just you know the |
9156s | boards are a little bit bigger um the |
9158s | one thing I will say is um perhaps |
9161s | something that I could have pointed out |
9162s | before was the reason I think we saw |
9164s | that back and forth Tech Car battle be |
9166s | so so powerful is because in that |
9168s | anomaly you can just buy a ghast coiler |
9171s | on turn 18 and it's a 25 25 or whatever |
9174s | right like it immediately hits board |
9177s | hits your board and makes an impact um |
9179s | so it makes that Tech Car battle in the |
9181s | end game a little bit more difficult |
9183s | because you have a wider variation of |
9185s | things that you can just buy and commit |
9186s | to the board uh very easily but you can |
9189s | now see uh daido and beta babbit both |
9194s | putting things in touching of putting |
9197s | things in check um but then for our |
9200s | personal little competition uh looks |
9202s | like things are going fairly well for |
9204s | Raven in the puzzle box again yeah I |
9206s | mean you know if you're good you're good |
9208s | what can I say at the emphasis on that |
9210s | no |
9211s | subtle I'm so bad it was the first game |
9217s | now the best part is hitting once |
9219s | yesterday is unlikely hitting twice |
9221s | youve just got to be impressed at this |
9222s | point so yeah based on yesterday's |
9225s | analogy where said you know you went |
9227s | into a casino there was a rigged |
9229s | roulette wheel that was you know every |
9231s | every every Square was black apart from |
9233s | one red then you bet on red today you've |
9236s | now like gone to the bar afterwards got |
9238s | drunk and then gone back and put all of |
9240s | your winnings back on red again and then |
9243s | hit |
9244s | again I mean yeah if you're good you're |
9246s | good that's all I can say um I've told |
9249s | you I've told you off camera if you want |
9250s | some uh advice and help maybe next time |
9252s | I'll I'm willing to do that cuz you're |
9253s | you're a good friend even though you uh |
9255s | make me post silly tweets |
9257s | but yeah regardless we are getting ready |
9258s | to go into game number four and as you |
9260s | mentioned uh dappy and be babbit are |
9263s | within range of putting the lobby in |
9265s | check this game which means they could |
9267s | win if they win next game but much |
9270s | harder for dappy because dapp is on 14 |
9272s | points so it requires him to get at |
9274s | least second place whereas beer is on 16 |
9278s | and a half so not too difficult |
9281s | especially if he just been playing how |
9282s | he has been all weekend which has been |
9284s | very very impressive just bagging the |
9286s | those points every single game so I |
9288s | think beat babit is |
9291s | extremely no sh not like this not like |
9294s | this sh can we vote to restart can we |
9297s | vote to restart that's what I would say |
9299s | that's a thing okay well we have another |
9301s | one where it's just plus one plus one |
9303s | every single time we'll see if that |
9305s | mixes up before the tournament's over uh |
9307s | but yeah as I was saying beat babit um I |
9311s | think it's important to keep an eye on H |
9313s | not only hero choice but just overall |
9315s | approach to this specific game because |
9318s | he does only need three and a half |
9320s | points to to be able to guarantee put in |
9323s | the lobby and check yeah that is a |
9326s | that's still a top four though right or |
9328s | a tide for fourth that you need it's not |
9330s | uh it's not a straightforward |
9331s | proposition but yeah a little bit more |
9333s | in reach than we have seen uh from uh |
9336s | from |
9339s | dappy now the interesting thing for here |
9342s | is Will sttle guess um or predict uh |
9347s | be B it again knowing that he he knows |
9349s | he doesn't need a |
9351s | first I'm already |
9354s | in oh it's I'm disappointed in you saw |
9358s | I'm |
9359s | disappointed I picked the test in the |
9361s | overgrowth an normally it's been pretty |
9363s | solid so far I don't know why to deviate |
9366s | from a winning |
9370s | strategy because I say so I picked tomb |
9373s | so far for a turn turn one tomb okay |
9377s | what we got destroy 18 minions and |
9379s | something as the reward that I did not |
9386s | see |
9389s | conch uh what are the minion types for |
9391s | conch beasts murlocs Naga Pirates quill |
9394s | balls okay |
9399s | interesting |
9403s | okay Golden Hat going to be interesting |
9406s | as well dappy going on that George so |
9408s | going to have access to those Divine |
9409s | shields uh which again in a stat heavy |
9412s | Lobby let's say with just a nature of |
9414s | the anomaly uh could really help out in |
9416s | maybe just grabbing a couple of extra |
9417s | wins maybe knocking a few players |
9422s | Out ooh cheeky bran up to see it three |
9427s | battlecries lined up in shop |
9433s | already |
9435s | hat |
9437s | it's going to go for the level and then |
9438s | double by the merlocks next turn with |
9440s | the freeze yeah I'm okay with this we'll |
9442s | have six gold available with the with |
9444s | the |
9448s | buff so we're going to be on three |
9450s | battle |
9454s | cres yeah not looking too bad at |
9460s | all deliberating here I imagine just |
9463s | waiting to see what little bird's going |
9464s | to do although little bird stayed on one |
9466s | last turn if that is accurate uh which |
9469s | looking at the tracker yes it |
9471s | is so no threat of little bird going to |
9474s | three and ALU following him there for |
9476s | example I think that was always going to |
9477s | be a double Merlot by for ALU that turn |
9480s | yeah and alimu as well on 12 points |
9483s | going into this will really be looking |
9485s | for a top four just to make the next |
9487s | game as easy as possible to uh you know |
9490s | get that Lobby in check right obviously |
9491s | if Alo timu wins H this this game he |
9494s | would need one point next game to be |
9496s | able to get into check and get to that |
9498s | 20 point total uh Linda are dappy and |
9502s | Tom fighting each other this turn any |
9504s | way we can get that |
9507s | information have a good battle friend no |
9511s | they are yeah okay so they've both gone |
9512s | to tavn three so it looks like you know |
9514s | that was kind of little yeah mutually |
9517s | assured situations you're like okay cool |
9519s | you're going to three I'm going to three |
9520s | let's do |
9522s | it it's like mutually assured |
9525s | production very nice |
9531s | yeah ooh |
9534s | okay wait free cell |
9540s | level |
9543s | oh very early |
9546s | committal I mean I like the pickup I |
9548s | mean maybe I'm I'm a sucker for that |
9549s | card the feather Bane but like I just |
9551s | like it so much I always just go as soon |
9553s | as I see one but I mean it's not a bad |
9555s | plan I was just wondering if it was |
9557s | going to be a cell level this turn and I |
9559s | don't know try and do something next |
9560s | turn but it looks like dappy is just |
9562s | going to commit a little bit more to the |
9563s | actual board itself um and then wait to |
9566s | buy it next turn yeah so Divine Shield |
9570s | the uh the feather M and buy it you are |
9573s | kind of committing to finding banana |
9576s | Slammers at some point over the course |
9577s | of the game right you're locking |
9578s | yourself in very early because then you |
9581s | have this weird twist to uh you have a |
9583s | Divine Shield minion in your hand that |
9585s | can get Summon to board and be made |
9587s | massive over time with the banana |
9589s | Slammers right otherwise yeah sure it's |
9591s | a nice size Divine Shield minion but you |
9594s | end up just having it there in your hand |
9595s | summoning it's not going to be overly |
9597s | impactful so uh I agree hold out for |
9600s | another turn if if nothing else it is |
9601s | just going to get one one bigger next |
9602s | turn by holding out for one more |
9612s | time one big murlock got the skill as |
9616s | well for |
9623s | satellite i' actually really like to see |
9626s | a level |
9630s | here maybe I just want to level too |
9634s | aggressively I just think like once you |
9637s | get to four you've got a base skill you |
9639s | can start Really |
9641s | Cooking yeah no |
9644s | doubt and it say that is very much the |
9647s | consideration here satellite think weak |
9650s | as you're going to as lower hit you're |
9652s | going to get |
9656s | right he's going to go for the other |
9659s | merlock yeah mercules can be a real |
9663s | Batey card in this anomaly because you |
9665s | look at a mercules oh that mercules is |
9667s | so big that's definitely going to kill |
9669s | things right but then by extension it's |
9672s | only the same size as everything else is |
9674s | cuz everything else you're going to |
9675s | fight is uh is going to be comparatively |
9678s | sized the only small Advantage it does |
9680s | get is if you um face opponents who have |
9683s | like tripled into cards or who have sold |
9686s | a tad or sold a patient Scout right and |
9688s | then they have some normal sized Minions |
9690s | on their board and then maybe the uh the |
9692s | mercules can uh can start |
9696s | farming this is going to look a little |
9699s | bit difficult though significant amount |
9701s | of power coming out from |
9703s | two also being able to reborn that Scout |
9706s | is going to be really nice we can |
9708s | already see fruits of that on board |
9710s | right |
9712s | now oh tomb lost so much value from the |
9716s | the scalin not going down needs a slime |
9719s | to get that thing taunted yeah for |
9723s | sure already have a secret loaded for a |
9726s | little |
9727s | bit little flurry of merlocks as well |
9731s | but |
9732s | nothing nothing that's going to point us |
9734s | towards a late game as of yet in terms |
9736s | of plans no can go for a five now or |
9741s | next turn look for a bran something |
9743s | along those |
9744s | lines yeah level hero power freeze looks |
9748s | pretty good still has the Tad with in |
9750s | the shop as |
9755s | well that's a great play just going to |
9758s | shoot now to see this |
9763s | shake bream or could just commit to |
9767s | Slammers yeah it's that same situation |
9769s | again right do you take bream when |
9771s | there's no base Gill in sight that's |
9772s | always kind of a sketchy proposition |
9775s | three or four times now we've seen that |
9777s | turn down just today of players just |
9779s | being offered the bream setup before |
9781s | they have the way to pull it onto the |
9782s | board I I don't want to say it's baited |
9785s | cuz I don't think it's strictly wrong |
9787s | but I would pick the bream just cuz |
9788s | there's a tad in the shop like that that |
9790s | would have pushed me personally over the |
9792s | edge but I I'm completely with you of |
9794s | course without the base SK it's not |
9796s | quite the |
9798s | same oh was that only four |
9801s | away from Quest completion I did not |
9804s | catch it you're doing great out |
9811s | there |
9816s | AV |
9824s | yep |
9828s | so gets this Quest done this turn does |
9830s | he have enough juice to win the fight |
9831s | that was a really good attack for beta |
9833s | babbit with the Divine Shield going into |
9834s | his one attack minion just a little bit |
9838s | short total power but small loss small |
9840s | loss here is fine can actually St Quest |
9844s | also as Gambler right which is going to |
9845s | help being there more flexible going |
9846s | forward with that S three Bank gold so |
9848s | that's going to be really nice here |
9850s | battle pick your back up and turn it |
9853s | around yeah let's step up our |
9859s | game yeah shooting at the Naga no great |
9861s | surprise second lava L |
9867s | okay seems reasonable enough to me there |
9869s | is of course the |
9871s | um the coin available who wants to go |
9874s | that way |
9877s | around but you would imagine yeah lava |
9879s | lurker in the shop is so huge CU you can |
9881s | just spellcraft it in the shop it still |
9884s | gets those permanent stats and then you |
9886s | buy it right uh with the Conch uh Quest |
9894s | reward I think beta babit currently just |
9896s | deciding how much he wants to thin this |
9898s | board down in terms of reducing the |
9899s | targets for things to land on with |
9902s | [Music] |
9906s | me and also the deliberation of how much |
9909s | of this spellcraft do you want to pump |
9911s | into the shop how much do you want to |
9913s | put on your lava lurker right like you |
9914s | could have also use this other SI Rifts |
9917s | on the uh on the shop to cuz both |
9919s | effects essentially make it |
9926s | permanent not something I've ever done |
9928s | like this is really sort of |
9929s | crystallizing in front of me as how |
9930s | powerful a combination this is like the |
9932s | spellcraft plus conch thing like yeah |
9934s | absolutely I've I've absolutely I've |
9936s | done that but in combination with this |
9938s | anomaly as well that is a lot of stats |
9941s | that are just getting dumped onto your |
9943s | board every turn well it just simp puts |
9946s | you that one extra step forward right |
9948s | because again we were saying earlier |
9949s | where if everyone has plus one no one |
9951s | has plus one in a in a weird way but |
9954s | when you can actually use that twice as |
9957s | as much as anyone else to an extent it's |
9959s | definitely a lot stronger but not strong |
9961s | enough to take down the uh the two uh |
9963s | feather Ms yeah which have even though |
9966s | some value has been denied there has |
9967s | been a ton of stats dumped onto those |
9969s | feather Ms from the uh the reborn scal |
9972s | fin over time second scal fin now picked |
9974s | up as well if you can get that golden |
9977s | then that is going to be a seriously |
9979s | hard carrying |
9983s | minion I still need to I feel like some |
9986s | kind of taunt activator as well right |
9989s | Taun would be great no triple try |
9994s | again one more for good luck probably |
9997s | just leaves it in play for this one turn |
9999s | yeah yeah with the the base skill the |
10002s | scalin and the um and The Slammer it's |
10005s | like just give something |
10009s | taunt over to waterl sa's instantly |
10013s | going to become a fan yep oh oh I |
10016s | forgive the third overgrowth anomaly in |
10019s | a row if we're going to get a nice juicy |
10021s | RAC game look at this double golden |
10024s | economy minion next to a ryac with a |
10026s | bran already this is the good stuff hook |
10030s | it into my |
10034s | veins did pick w l right I did yeah yeah |
10038s | there you go it's all coming up |
10041s | sa oh Coral mgle Breen base skill as |
10045s | well unfortunately Sol all can't fit on |
10048s | the board can |
10050s | it uh yeah you just get rid of mercules |
10053s | and you play coral mle and |
10055s | basill it's fine we're chilling oh sure |
10058s | sure sure yeah for some reason I was |
10059s | kind of including the duo in there Mery |
10062s | oh mery's fine there yeah sure I |
10065s | sometimes takes me a second to process |
10067s | that Mery has been reinstated to both |
10070s | sides instead of just left oh right |
10072s | right right uh cuz it was nerfed for |
10075s | quite a long |
10080s | time and here comes the value and |
10084s | actually smart to use it on the buser |
10086s | instead of the shell collector for uh |
10087s | hand space reasons right like just |
10089s | getting the gold straight up without |
10091s | having to have the coins go into hands |
10093s | is very nice yeah cuz you're not you |
10094s | don't lose en in unless you really |
10096s | really enjoy playing coins from |
10100s | hand look at |
10103s | this oh |
10105s | and ryac setup with full economy and |
10109s | he's just bigger let's go I was just |
10113s | about to say the exact same sentence |
10116s | right you've got the cash and you've got |
10118s | the muscle that's when you know you're |
10120s | having a good |
10121s | time that's when you know you're a |
10123s | fitness influencer on Instagram |
10134s | a for sorry there's not a RAC on my |
10137s | screen anymore What's Happening |
10139s | Here can't just sit and watch one player |
10142s | yes we can I'm sorry be babbit s's been |
10145s | a fan of you all weekend until something |
10148s | shiny comes along waterl went from 4 to |
10151s | six this turn did we not want to watch |
10153s | that come on well I'm not arguing with |
10155s | you okay I'm just I'm just explaining |
10158s | I'm apologizing on on your he went from |
10159s | four to six and he still has a full |
10162s | turn Andy |
10165s | test and this is more |
10167s | money I feel like this is I feel like |
10170s | I've been I've heard wrong this feels |
10172s | like more money Less |
10174s | Problems yeah I mean you know respect of |
10177s | course to Biggie but you know you are |
10179s | talking some absolute nonsense at no |
10182s | point in human history did more money |
10184s | equal more more problems |
10193s | okay now is it time to cash out like a |
10195s | coward that's the big question here we |
10197s | stay with the economy next to the RAC or |
10199s | do we move the stats next to the |
10202s | RAC that's it yeah |
10206s | knows shame it started T tier s game it' |
10209s | be right |
10212s | there and uh in comparison lot of divine |
10216s | Shields going on a lot of parrots flying |
10218s | around but is it quite comparable to |
10221s | this |
10224s | board or at least what this board will |
10226s | become should I |
10231s | say oh these are actually really bad |
10234s | hits for |
10235s | waterl do you think this |
10237s | will like whichever way this fight goes |
10240s | this feels closer than it looked at a |
10242s | glance do you think this will be the |
10244s | turn now for waterlot that he'll switch |
10247s | off the economy |
10250s | no o okay okay you sure about |
10254s | that okay honestly it depends what he |
10257s | hits right like he has to find something |
10259s | to replace those cards with otherwise |
10262s | there's not necessarily any real point |
10264s | like I mean mean he could just move RAC |
10267s | right like golden bran now as well |
10272s | okay oh like he could move right like |
10275s | right and keep the the beefy minions he |
10277s | has true yeah that's that's definitely a |
10280s | a good middle ground I would suggest |
10283s | yeah cuz I think you want to protect you |
10285s | the 20 your your last remaining five |
10287s | Health right before you go into the |
10288s | damage cap that does make |
10290s | sense oh look more economy yeah I think |
10294s | this teis will just be in play for as |
10296s | long as he doesn't need a board space |
10298s | right just spend the gold that he has |
10299s | right now get a little bit of by Bye Bye |
10302s | Bye by but yeah I don't think I don't |
10303s | think anyone's going to be leaning into |
10305s | to ATT these anytime soon well now |
10306s | there's a second one so okay fine yeah |
10309s | and rik's |
10312s | gone yeah so actually even less greedy |
10315s | than we were suggesting just fly out of |
10318s | the RAC at this point and I think this |
10320s | is actually waterl it sounds weird cuz |
10323s | you'd imagine the economy approach is |
10325s | setting up for the late game but I think |
10327s | waterl is saying right I'm comfortable |
10330s | enough in terms of money to actually |
10332s | just build the late game board now you |
10335s | look at the pickups right go looking at |
10336s | those uh base Gill then all the tech |
10339s | cards with the venomus and the merlocks |
10341s | and so on I think this is a really good |
10343s | moment for waterl as you mentioned |
10345s | before he's above damage cap so this is |
10347s | very safe but also he's literally just |
10350s | building a first place finish |
10353s | game-winning board on turn 10 literally |
10357s | cannot hold all those |
10359s | taunts let's get that second base skill |
10361s | in |
10362s | play should be good enough money yeah |
10365s | yeah yeah for sure for sure again as I |
10368s | mentioned earlier I don't know which |
10369s | server is being played on but I don't |
10371s | necessarily think that some of these |
10373s | players are having the uh the smooth |
10376s | natural Speedy experience that they |
10378s | might like is trying to get some of |
10379s | these APM |
10381s | turns and |
10384s | honestly satellite staring at this |
10386s | opponent's board must think we've been |
10389s | in the same Lobby the same game playing |
10391s | the same |
10393s | game |
10395s | oh you're allowed to leave now Linda |
10396s | there's not a RAC on my screen anymore |
10398s | that's |
10400s | fine so though PL you stats available |
10403s | and this how much damage is this |
10405s | actually going to do this feels like a |
10406s | million well 15 yeah I'm just saying |
10410s | potential damage but yeah yeah it's a |
10412s | tough Yeah so basically water is just |
10413s | going to be fing people for the |
10415s | foreseeable future we're going to jump |
10416s | over to Slammers on either side of the |
10419s | board here between gief and little bird |
10422s | but little bird looks like he's going to |
10423s | gain the advantage here and needed to |
10425s | with only 9 Health versus 44 yeah for |
10430s | sure oh DA's gone that is has gone huge |
10435s | that is such a big deal nappy came into |
10439s | this game on 14 points and he's leaving |
10442s | this game on 14 points yeah oh that is a |
10451s | disaster wow still no golden scalin I |
10454s | feel like with been we've been in RAC |
10455s | world for two or three turns I would |
10457s | have expected Tom to have found the sca |
10459s | fin by this point but has not done |
10463s | so has found a mama bear and a banana |
10466s | though so getting some nice Buffs did |
10468s | you catch the stats on the mouse over as |
10470s | to how big the feathers were just then |
10472s | apologies no I was looking at what |
10473s | dappy's board was and what caused him to |
10475s | die fair enough and I think it was a |
10477s | mercules was still on |
10481s | board which I do think is an accurate |
10484s | description if you have a mercules still |
10486s | on board on turn 10 you probably not had |
10487s | a good game yeah yeah I think that's |
10492s | fair and |
10494s | actually uh well no there probably still |
10497s | was right I'm trying to work out if that |
10498s | Divine Shield feather M ever happened |
10500s | cuz I think it was dappy yeah cuz it was |
10502s | he was looking at shooting the shop with |
10503s | the the div and there was a bream on his |
10505s | board as an 1818 as well yeah actually |
10508s | on board so I imagine there is a Sly |
10510s | Raptor right so it could be that the sly |
10512s | raptor is summoning the the Divine |
10513s | Shield and the |
10516s | Amal yeah yeah just never found bananas |
10519s | or anything which is something I was |
10520s | commenting on before right like if you |
10522s | are going to commit so much gold to that |
10524s | you are going to need to hit banana |
10526s | Slammer to really pay it |
10529s | off yeah though water loot looking |
10531s | incredibly strong going up against one |
10533s | of these stronger players in the game uh |
10536s | so far I would say but is it going to be |
10538s | strong enough we're going to find out oh |
10541s | are those like 50s then yeah because the |
10542s | merlock 100 right yeah |
10549s | significant power being pushed out from |
10551s | tomb still has that venomous in the in |
10554s | the uh base skill as well |
10558s | uhhuh tell me |
10560s | more look I'm creating tension |
10567s | so not a bad effort not bad all right |
10572s | participation medal I guess sure |
10575s | W unfor unfortunately was at that |
10578s | magical 30 break point which is very |
10581s | irritating 31 of course the uh the best |
10583s | number in hstone |
10585s | Battlegrounds being one below that means |
10587s | that tomb is well in range now just |
10589s | getting double tonked one after the |
10591s | other yep there goes little burden and |
10593s | also uh one player to keep an eye out uh |
10595s | for all you gief fans gief has now I |
10597s | believe lost two pretty much full hit |
10600s | fights in a row I think he was like 44 |
10602s | he's now on 16 so he's still safe for |
10605s | exactly this turn for now but still not |
10608s | looking good when you're going to take |
10610s | two big hits in a row like |
10612s | that uh aluu is uh playing the weab |
10616s | murlocs at home version of what um is |
10619s | happening on the other side from waterl |
10621s | but might still be good enough to win |
10623s | another |
10626s | fight you're going this me babbit on the |
10629s | left here with the bow blessing with a |
10631s | non or not not significant am out of |
10635s | stats did that make sense I think so |
10637s | maybe but the problem |
10640s | is significant Look At That Base player |
10644s | right there just loving |
10654s | life yeah we're going to have to hang |
10656s | out just in case be babit chooses to |
10659s | spend this Gambler and find some leroys |
10662s | or something but as of right now this |
10664s | looks like pretty straight up stats |
10666s | versus stats and uh they're not |
10668s | particularly close right |
10671s | now yeah I am not the best at these but |
10674s | when one player has base and the other |
10676s | player does |
10677s | not tells me everything I need to know |
10681s | yeah one player also has a Divine Shield |
10682s | 300 300 which covers the entire |
10685s | remainder of the other |
10687s | board true slight |
10692s | problem and just give a little bit of an |
10695s | update going into this game waterl was |
10698s | not looking great s and a half points |
10700s | total so if water can keep going with |
10703s | this and actually grab a win that will |
10705s | Propel himself to within Striking |
10707s | Distance of putting the lobby in check |
10708s | in the next |
10711s | game this Baron is going to have to bite |
10713s | the dust immediately if there is any |
10717s | small percentage chance for be babit on |
10720s | the barel here oh on the daus sorry |
10726s | okay really good hits so far but I still |
10729s | just don't necessarily think this is |
10732s | there those three little slimy crabs |
10734s | though it's just |
10736s | not just wasn't there I think that may |
10739s | have just been |
10740s | 100% yeah there's just so much power |
10743s | it's I mean look at the stats still |
10745s | there just on that one card insane and |
10747s | that is 12 damage so again about as good |
10750s | as it's going to go I think if you're |
10752s | facing uh waterl in this game at the |
10755s | moment to just not have him kill you is |
10757s | probably a victory H but that does look |
10760s | like that's going to be satellite being |
10762s | remove from this game on the six and |
10765s | chief does take damage cap again but the |
10769s | 16 Health saved today yeah gief just got |
10772s | straight up 45 in three turns yeah and |
10775s | gets ghost |
10778s | though deal yeah this is one of the |
10780s | biggest scams I've ever seen in my life |
10782s | actually like you you're losing every |
10784s | fight by damage cap and then you hit |
10786s | ghost on one Health and just scam your |
10788s | way into top four like yeah okay when |
10791s | yeah when the three three out of the |
10793s | other four players could easily die this |
10796s | round well not all all three but you |
10798s | know all three of them yeah I mean yeah |
10801s | there are three players are very much in |
10804s | danger zone waterl hits aluu so hard |
10808s | that he kills two other players with |
10809s | Splash damage it this is what this |
10811s | should do right it becomes just a raid |
10815s | boss fight so it's actually two Malo |
10817s | timu and be babbit versus |
10819s | waterl |
10821s | uh all right yeah okay I think I think |
10824s | that's actually fairly fairly reasonable |
10826s | let's do |
10839s | [Music] |
10842s | that you can't see the difference right |
10844s | I was talking about it when we were |
10845s | doing the barrels blessing in the |
10846s | previous fight like kind of have to wait |
10848s | in case um be babbit decided to do |
10850s | something weird like Sell Out roll sell |
10852s | The Gambler find a LeRoy or something |
10854s | because one Leroy would have made a very |
10856s | big difference potentially in that fight |
10858s | that we want right like I think it would |
10860s | have gone from 0% to 8 to 10% or |
10862s | something with the addition of a single |
10864s | Leroy |
10867s | maybe okay we've got Mega stats on the |
10869s | top here for uh bet babbit on the |
10873s | daus again a l of |
10877s | stats imagine I was channeling |
10881s | Derek sorry that's uh dearly departed |
10884s | Derek |
10885s | Brown again just an announcement he's |
10895s | fine that is going to be beater babbit |
10898s | out of here along with aluu I |
10901s | believe so two players is gief is how G |
10906s | thir yeah slowly drove past and waved as |
10909s | these two players have slipped on a |
10911s | banana peel absolutely call the police |
10915s | yeah uh although saying that while we |
10917s | get distracted that's 3.5 points for be |
10919s | babbit right uh yes that's 16.5 to 20 |
10925s | yeah it is yeah it is yeah so that |
10927s | should be a bit about it putting the |
10929s | lobby in check and I believe because |
10931s | dappy went out uh e getting zero points |
10935s | be bab's putting the lobby in check on |
10937s | his own |
10943s | nice how how is this border thir I'm so |
10949s | annoyed look this is why gief's a fan |
10951s | favorite okay yeah get the I was getting |
10954s | ready to complain about uh like little |
10957s | bird on scams rack of just like finding |
10958s | an ice block and just being in top four |
10960s | despite having the weakest board anyone |
10962s | has ever seen uh gief just remembered |
10965s | that there's actually an ice block in |
10966s | the game already and it's called the |
10967s | damage cap and so here we |
10974s | are and at this point honestly G's just |
10977s | sat there thinking yeah great I'll I'll |
10981s | die now like goal achieved top three and |
10986s | what scoreboard idiot I'm third yeah I |
10990s | mean I if I was Chief right now I would |
10992s | be very very happy about |
10995s | things he's he's just stealthing a |
10999s | tunnel Blaster and activating it with |
11001s | like 12 different |
11003s | parrots oh look at jee's face as well |
11007s | you could tell he's just in |
11009s | smir h gief is just uh delicately put |
11014s | he's he's Battlegrounds poo posting |
11016s | right now I can't say the actual version |
11018s | of what I'd like to say he's |
11020s | doing I think you can say feces feces |
11023s | post Bo |
11026s | in and yeah to no one's surprise even if |
11030s | you've not been playing Battlegrounds |
11031s | too much big numbers good as waterl |
11034s | takes out gief and again that is pretty |
11036s | much a victory for gief uh unbelievable |
11040s | third place finish and now it's going to |
11042s | be between waterl and |
11047s | Tom look at this |
11050s | board this is |
11052s | fine |
11056s | you know what I'm slightly upset about |
11058s | not that it overly matters I changed my |
11062s | uh bandwagon to alimu when I had it on |
11065s | T that's right you did I uh I picked |
11069s | waterl turn one and stayed with it so |
11071s | yeah I I actually think your bandwagon |
11074s | points which let's remind everyone was |
11076s | the only real thing you beat me on |
11078s | yesterday that's so wildly |
11082s | incorrect um should all be |
11086s | disallowed why on the basis of it's just |
11089s | o Tess I'm going to pick Tess there's no |
11092s | loyalty to players there's no yeah |
11095s | there's no respect to the game it's just |
11097s | I see Tess I pick Tess that's it that's |
11100s | your strategy what do you mean I |
11101s | literally am respecting the game all |
11104s | right game recognize game and when |
11106s | players pick test in this lobby with |
11108s | this anomaly then I just they're going |
11111s | to win it's 100% hit R so far there's no |
11115s | heart in it sot it's like asking a robot |
11117s | to have an opinion there's no heart in |
11118s | it it's like asking a robot to have an |
11122s | opinion |
11124s | yeah those are certainly some words I |
11128s | commend you yep words with heart soul I |
11132s | know you wouldn't understand win |
11134s | this here though tomb going to do his |
11136s | best but I imagine assuming his fate is |
11139s | sealed cuz that's three 8 million Health |
11142s | base kills just to start |
11145s | I'm pretty sure waterl Reserve team wins |
11148s | this |
11150s | Lobby like if you just deleted the board |
11152s | and he had to play with the cards in his |
11154s | hand instead I'm pretty sure he's still |
11155s | winning as long as the the merlock |
11159s | gained the stats of the hand I would |
11160s | probably agree with no like unironically |
11163s | the things that came out of his hand |
11164s | that this 135 bream the 122 stat uh gou |
11169s | and a 4040 Leroy has come out of his |
11171s | hand so far true unironically think that |
11174s | wins this |
11175s | fight but you never |
11178s | know it's a good Leroy here to be |
11183s | fair uh right you have anything else in |
11186s | the tank tomb what else is going to jump |
11187s | out oh nothing okay uh yeah that looks |
11190s | like that is going to be that water and |
11193s | also most notably even Tess is going to |
11196s | do well in yet another game of |
11198s | Battlegrounds today well and this |
11201s | weekend actually so uh what an amazing |
11203s | game game there we saw Tess dominate |
11205s | once more but most importantly uh we saw |
11208s | the uh the the points shift to one |
11211s | player in particular favor so uh looking |
11214s | forward to seeing the impact on that but |
11216s | yeah uh fingers crossed we just get what |
11219s | some of the uh more wild anomalies for |
11221s | the next one so I'm ready I I've had |
11223s | enough sort of relaxed games I want wild |
11225s | back in the game yeah uh I think that's |
11228s | fair um people praying for wild I think |
11231s | is a is very common in Hearthstone |
11234s | circles but not really in the context |
11236s | that we used to here |
11237s | but yeah I mean what can you say I |
11239s | really enjoyed beat of babbit Strat with |
11241s | the the overgrowth anomaly and then with |
11243s | naret in and then taking conch and just |
11245s | trying to complete that as quickly as |
11247s | possible and then in a reasonable |
11249s | scenario I think that would have worked |
11251s | out great like babab it might have been |
11254s | the stacking of the lobby at that point |
11256s | right and everyone else would be trying |
11257s | to scam against him at that point but it |
11259s | just so happened that aluu had a |
11261s | disgusting murloc board and and his |
11264s | disgusting murloc board looked like |
11266s | infant's finger painting in comparison |
11269s | to what waterl was doing on the other |
11270s | end with the test so um the the Naga |
11273s | stats just weren't really getting there |
11275s | overall but yeah I'm with you roll on a |
11277s | different anomaly at this point now |
11279s | please okay well we're going to go to a |
11281s | break but remember we'll have updated |
11282s | standings when we get back so don't go |
11284s | anywhere more Lobby Legends coming |
11292s | up |
11295s | [Music] |
11322s | on |
11323s | [Music] |
11331s | [Music] |
11340s | [Music] |
11352s | on |
11356s | [Music] |
11373s | [Applause] |
11376s | [Music] |
11382s | oh |
11384s | [Music] |
11422s | [Applause] |
11427s | [Music] |
11473s | welcome back everyone to Lobby Legends |
11476s | uh we've just come off the back of game |
11477s | four and be babbit does have now the |
11480s | lobby in check and if you've just been |
11482s | tuning recently and you missed the sort |
11484s | of intro where we went over what that |
11486s | means it means now if be babbit |
11488s | specifically wins a game so finishes |
11491s | first place takes the whole game uh he |
11494s | will then win the tournament the |
11495s | tournament just ends and that's where |
11497s | all the players now will be feeling the |
11499s | pressure because it's not like be babit |
11501s | loed his way into it right he's has been |
11503s | playing consistently not only today to |
11504s | put the lobby in check but also this |
11506s | weekend overall so very very dangerous |
11508s | opponent there and uh something all the |
11510s | players going have to keep an eye on |
11512s | whereas all the other players still have |
11513s | at least this game to try and get to |
11515s | that 20 point mark Raven I just had a |
11519s | minor heart attack I saw the start of |
11521s | this little repay package with the |
11522s | anomaly pop up again I was like no not |
11525s | again I refuse yeah if we get this one |
11527s | again we're just going to walk away and |
11529s | it'll just be a silent you know we could |
11531s | just have a break or I don't know |
11535s | but I guess if we're looking at as you |
11537s | mentioned babit now has a Lobby in check |
11540s | the uh the final chapter of the |
11542s | narrative that's clearly written for |
11544s | this tournament in advance is that we do |
11546s | just roll another overgrowth anomaly be |
11548s | babits gets Tess and then just wins the |
11550s | lobby with Tess that's what happens yeah |
11553s | yeah but as you can see here gief alimu |
11557s | tuum waterl dappy all within range of |
11561s | putting the lobby in check as well by |
11563s | the end of this game whereas little bird |
11565s | and satellite have a little bit more |
11567s | work to go so they'll definitely be |
11568s | feeling you know no doubt a little bit |
11569s | deflated and I hope that that the |
11572s | players sort of slow down a little bit |
11574s | but again just to reiterate because the |
11576s | rules might be a little bit funky if |
11577s | you've not seen it before this game the |
11580s | only way the tournament can end is if |
11582s | exactly be a babbit wins this next game |
11586s | if not we'll be going into the next game |
11587s | and then the one after that until |
11589s | someone who has the lobby in check |
11592s | wins |
11593s | and it's been a fabulous performance you |
11595s | know I'm I'm really pleased I called out |
11597s | beer babbit and gief and sort of was |
11600s | trying to explain the level of uh |
11602s | respect and Prestige that those two |
11603s | players have um within the the |
11606s | Battleground Community particularly the |
11608s | America's Battleground Community but |
11609s | certainly worldwide and how you know |
11612s | sometimes you come to to Lobby Legends |
11614s | and it is it's a small sample right like |
11617s | sometimes you can just not get the run |
11619s | of the green for three games in |
11620s | qualifying and you're you're send |
11622s | packing we've seen that that with |
11623s | several great players over and over |
11625s | again throughout these tournaments and I |
11627s | think gief and beer babbit were just |
11630s | waiting for this opportunity to just say |
11632s | no like if there is a competitive scene |
11634s | for Hearthstone Battlegrounds like I'm |
11636s | one of the main events you know that's |
11638s | that's how good those two players are |
11640s | and gief yes but particularly beer |
11642s | babbit in this tournament is is really |
11645s | putting a stamp on proceedings yeah and |
11647s | just proven it time and time again I |
11649s | think again I think he's been probably |
11651s | the most impressive player over overall |
11653s | in terms of just both days every game |
11655s | we've seen them play cuz in the group |
11658s | stage he did extremely well and has |
11660s | contined to do so here so I am excited I |
11662s | do want to see a different anomaly now I |
11666s | know we had the the good start and we |
11667s | had a great day yesterday where we had |
11669s | six games and six different anomalies I |
11671s | am here for that uh but we've just had |
11672s | the same one a few times in a row now so |
11674s | I am ready for a mixup um I do a I call |
11678s | for a reame if it's that anomaly once |
11680s | again even though I know that's just not |
11682s | how the rules work in any way shape or |
11683s | form but still we can dream we can dream |
11686s | but is there any anomaly you'd actually |
11688s | like to see Sol cuz we've talked about |
11690s | what we have seen and some of the big |
11692s | ones that we haven't but what do you |
11693s | what would you like like what would you |
11695s | want to be in this next game so we |
11697s | haven't seen double header or grapnel |
11699s | yet which I always really like playing |
11701s | so that's uh the first minion you buy |
11703s | each turn is free or the first minion |
11705s | you buy each turn you get a copy of both |
11707s | of those are kind of degenerate and they |
11709s | lead to most people playing very byale |
11712s | heavy things which oh my |
11715s | God can we |
11718s | just someone asked the players if they |
11720s | want to |
11721s | reame I'm not sure we have that power we |
11724s | we definitely don't have that power but |
11726s | I again I can wish uh you can't just say |
11730s | things that is literally my |
11736s | job okay well we're in but be babbit has |
11740s | gone for Thoren which is a really fun |
11743s | hero to play and pretty interesting and |
11744s | do you think uh this does feel like a |
11748s | first place Hero at least to me so and |
11750s | what do you |
11752s | think uh yes I think so I'm not |
11754s | necessarily sure what the distribution |
11756s | is but certainly just the nature of |
11759s | having this ultimate win condition that |
11761s | no one else in the lobby is allowed to |
11763s | have but it being a very difficult late |
11765s | game Target to work towards yeah that |
11767s | that all makes sense in in terms of |
11770s | feast or famine option and those are |
11772s | some fabulous |
11774s | choices rank them for me I can't okay |
11779s | Moira yeah okay so Moira is the nuts if |
11784s | beasts are in right because you know |
11786s | Center Square on your bingo card that |
11788s | means RAC exists and just the the idea |
11790s | of doubling battlecries and death |
11791s | rattles with RAC is just completely |
11794s | overpowered um I think Varian is the |
11796s | option you take when your other options |
11798s | suck and neither of those options sucked |
11801s | um but we've seen it right right we we |
11803s | saw it first game today in the actual |
11806s | Tavern 7 Lobby uh Oracle mgle just spit |
11811s | so many stats everywhere over the course |
11814s | of the game it's so obnoxious and so |
11817s | snowbally to to be able to deal with so |
11820s | no great surprise that ends up may |
11822s | especially in this anomaly when you know |
11823s | stats are probably going to be the name |
11825s | of the game right like there's no crazy |
11827s | rules going on um I would have honestly |
11830s | loved it and and obviously we wouldn't |
11832s | have seen this here pick but I I really |
11834s | really really want an everything's on |
11836s | Fire game cuz I think they're so funny |
11839s | sure cuz they're so tense in the early |
11842s | game and then naturally tense in the |
11844s | late game because there's only a couple |
11845s | of players left even though the health |
11847s | kind of goes up so H that's what I I |
11849s | personally really enjoy |
11852s | playing though you can see as well B |
11854s | babbit's uh health is in Gold I guess uh |
11857s | so that is signifying that he does have |
11859s | the lobby in check if he doesn't win and |
11861s | this continues we will will see more |
11863s | players Health turn gold H just to |
11865s | signify and so you guys at home can keep |
11867s | track of who has a chance of ending the |
11872s | tournament so far there a lot of |
11874s | Cals there Pig stocking |
11878s | around be a babit going going uh staying |
11882s | on one and just spreading the minions |
11884s | out is this a strategy for this hero for |
11887s | Thor it can be if there's a lot of |
11889s | economy on one right so there is Naga |
11891s | and Elemental in this Lobby which means |
11894s | you can get shell collector and |
11896s | cemental the most efficient thing you |
11898s | can do per three gold is buy a minion |
11902s | right because then that for every three |
11903s | gold you spend you get one back you're |
11905s | able to to sell that minion away for one |
11907s | gold later when there are economy |
11909s | minions in the game you're spend you're |
11911s | getting two gold back from the three |
11912s | gold you spend so it's a more efficient |
11915s | way to spend gold quickly than leveling |
11918s | um so it's not uncommon to see this kind |
11920s | of thing happen but I wouldn't say it's |
11921s | like a 100% agreed upon that this is |
11924s | what you're supposed to do either yeah |
11927s | definitely a strategy that can pay off |
11928s | cuz you do just want to spend more gold |
11931s | because at first glance you might think |
11933s | it's just a set amount of time till you |
11934s | get it but you can of course have things |
11936s | happen that increase gold spend so yep |
11940s | Chief now don't tell the others taking |
11942s | it slow but they're leveling up pretty |
11944s | quickly with half of well over half of |
11946s | the lobby actually going into that uh T |
11948s | tier |
11951s | 3 |
11953s | welcome back how's it going out |
11957s | there yeah moc's in so little bird on |
11960s | the nooth looking like that they they |
11962s | just want to climb for the the scow Fin |
11964s | and base Gill as quickly as they |
11965s | possibly can get that stuff rolling no |
11967s | great |
11968s | surprise coin just happy to go along |
11971s | with |
11973s | it you want a four on four I think so |
11978s | just got the coin as well and I feel |
11980s | like just in this anomaly like you just |
11982s | want to get to four and start seeing |
11984s | what you hit there I think there are |
11986s | good cards beforehand to help out but |
11989s | for me I think just just because |
11990s | everyone seems to be leveling just take |
11993s | that one extra |
11995s | turn he going against |
11998s | uh should walk right so he's going to |
12001s | against |
12005s | waterl water does have a pretty |
12007s | significant board again I just think you |
12009s | just take the hit now and go maybe I'm |
12012s | just too too aggressive in terms of |
12013s | leveling |
12018s | up look like Chief is going to try and |
12020s | just secure a bit of a bit of power on |
12021s | board instead of going for the greedy |
12025s | play 8 |
12027s | 1066 yeah I think just trying to wait |
12029s | each other out between uh waiting to see |
12033s | what waterl would do because it's a big |
12036s | issue right if you go to if you go four |
12038s | on four there and then your opponent |
12039s | just you double buys two three drops on |
12041s | the the other side and just value trades |
12044s | your one minion you've just taken nine |
12046s | at that point when you were only at what |
12049s | 36 to begin with that's a pretty big hit |
12051s | to be taking you'd be dropping yourself |
12054s | no he's on 38 so if he took nine he'd go |
12056s | down to 29 you're then two damage caps |
12059s | away from just being straight up |
12060s | eliminated at that point which is a |
12062s | scary |
12066s | proposition can be bit afford this |
12071s | tent that's the real |
12080s | question yeah I think perhaps the |
12082s | question is can he afford to Greed this |
12085s | out a little bit longer because he's |
12088s | going to want to get his hands on Bas |
12089s | Gill as soon as possible right when he |
12091s | has tide Oracle yeah uh to be going with |
12094s | cuz he's going to want to handbuff stuff |
12096s | very very soon so yeah looks like he is |
12098s | just going to take the you know the the |
12100s | shiny curve essentially just double |
12101s | level on this turn he will be a little |
12103s | bit |
12105s | weak no great surprise right I think |
12107s | that's the other Factor when you were |
12109s | talking to me before about like you know |
12111s | does is this |
12113s | common um for the hero to be staying on |
12116s | one and playing things no not |
12117s | necessarily but also on top of all the |
12119s | fact as I talked about then just |
12121s | spending all of your gold on buying |
12123s | minions instead of leveling does get |
12124s | improved when those minions are getting |
12126s | buffed every single turn right because |
12127s | you do end up buying a pretty big board |
12129s | very very quickly that can arguably |
12131s | defend you for a turn or two while you |
12133s | then level I think you can win this |
12141s | thing okay A little bit |
12144s | of INF Fury good attacks coming out |
12146s | there from ALU as well to be able to |
12148s | clean this up pretty nicely push a |
12150s | little bit of damage which must be nice |
12152s | because obviously playe Patchwork is |
12154s | going take a ton of damage early on yeah |
12157s | yeah really sick uh shop to go into |
12160s | going four on four and then finding |
12162s | double buffed up cindery on his Tav four |
12168s | shops and this is the the stage of the |
12171s | game where alu's kind of just fishing |
12173s | for some direction now just sort of |
12175s | going to roll and just say what what am |
12177s | I going to get offered pretty much yeah |
12181s | um has kind of found a couple of |
12187s | options be triple into the four no Bas |
12190s | skill though very very mediocre choice |
12193s | there was a long-term plan available of |
12195s | Carbonic copy and just start getting big |
12197s | Buffs from the the tide Oracle on it but |
12200s | that is way too ambitious I think in the |
12202s | spot beater in even in the spot beater |
12204s | in where it's win or win or nothing else |
12206s | really matters I still think that is a a |
12209s | net negative way to play the game from |
12211s | the position he's in what do you like |
12212s | here Undead package Naga package or |
12215s | Elemental on dream you yeah I think all |
12218s | three of those options have Merit cuz |
12221s | they're all Miss something as well right |
12223s | like the undead reborn yes okay you do |
12225s | buy an undead to put it on but it's not |
12228s | a particularly high value one that you |
12229s | end up putting it on zesty and a lava |
12232s | lurker yeah that's two pieces of one of |
12234s | the most powerful comps in the game but |
12237s | you literally don't have a spell yeah |
12239s | they are just minions at that moment in |
12241s | time right yeah and then yes like the |
12243s | elemental it's very very early to uh to |
12246s | be buffing Elementals at this point but |
12247s | also there's no massive payoff for it |
12251s | either like again we talked about this a |
12252s | lot we keep getting this anomaly we also |
12254s | keep getting this anomaly without demons |
12256s | where the size of the shop is actually |
12258s | very significant um and that's something |
12260s | that you can play into with The |
12262s | Barnstormer as well right you can just |
12264s | buff up the Elementals that are in your |
12265s | shop even higher and then try and get |
12268s | that eating the shop demon value with it |
12270s | later but that's just not an option |
12271s | that's available in this Lobby either |
12273s | have we seen demons all weekend well I |
12275s | think we saw like one demon game or |
12277s | something yeah we definitely saw it |
12278s | yesterday but I'm not sure we've had it |
12281s | today significant it no it was in the it |
12284s | was in the tavn S game right cuz I |
12286s | remember people had uh Saras on their |
12288s | boards for oh you're right you are right |
12290s | y just no one ended up doing it did they |
12293s | yeah dappy sitting at the top of the |
12295s | board now a lot of players around that |
12297s | 30 40 Health |
12303s | Mark uh let me just check for you gief |
12306s | hold |
12308s | on you should have waited yep cuz that's |
12311s | how it works |
12317s | double merlock in there going to skip |
12318s | over gief definitely has cards that's |
12322s | what I would have |
12325s | picked he's been a fan of the old cards |
12327s | comp today isn't he gief yeah just like |
12331s | his |
12334s | cards double check as well je does only |
12338s | need uh what four and a half points |
12343s | to make it into check as well so again |
12347s | probably just trying to just do anything |
12348s | to hang |
12353s | around yeah tied with almu in this |
12356s | regards I was going to bring this up |
12357s | there wasn't every really a natural |
12358s | point to do it at the start of the game |
12360s | but aluu looking for a top four to put |
12362s | the lobby in check on Patchwork yeah |
12364s | that story checks out right Patchwork is |
12366s | a very grind your way into top four kind |
12369s | of hero so Mak sense |
12375s | okay things are kind of coming together |
12378s | for Al team yeah they absolutely are |
12381s | yeah that's a very nice looking board |
12384s | for turn |
12385s | seven yeah it's turn seven isn't it well |
12387s | it it feels difficult you know when |
12389s | obviously we're casting like game after |
12390s | game after game after game it's like oh |
12393s | yeah we're in turn seven this feel you |
12394s | look we had like what an 18 turn game |
12396s | earlier so they all start to just merge |
12400s | together |
12408s | looks like gief could be taking uh some |
12410s | significant damage |
12412s | here start pushing towards that danger |
12414s | point of |
12417s | 15 Tom on bran looking pretty good Tom |
12421s | another player Tom needs five points to |
12425s | put the lobby in check as well so |
12427s | there's a outside of the obvious fact |
12429s | that be babbit could just win H there's |
12431s | a lot of players who are in the mix of |
12433s | of you know putting everyone else in |
12435s | trouble too yeah aloto and Je both tied |
12438s | on 15.5 so they need four and a half |
12440s | points or a tie for third at least uh to |
12444s | be able to get into check as well and |
12446s | then just behind that is Tomb on 15 who |
12448s | needs a straight |
12457s | third yeah babbit found himself in a bit |
12460s | of a mixed bag scenario |
12463s | here I wonder how far away he is his |
12466s | hero power cuz he must be getting |
12473s | there have a few more dead to choose |
12476s | from if he wants to lean into |
12478s | that the worthy |
12484s | opponent could drop a stealth on the |
12486s | Primus as |
12489s | well hey watch out |
12496s | I got it second yeah I think this turn |
12498s | makes a lot of |
12503s | sense he should have it uh next turn I |
12507s | believe in answer to your question is |
12508s | like the natural curve to get it um like |
12511s | if you spent no additional uh gold you |
12514s | have spent 52 Gold by turn eight um so |
12518s | as long as you've then spent a little |
12520s | bit extra with another 10 gold |
12522s | and we literally saw do it right like |
12525s | early on so that should help we'll see |
12526s | how that goes but for now just lean into |
12528s | the undead getting a lot of those uh |
12530s | crabs |
12536s | spawn stealth really coming in clutch |
12538s | actually with this Primus as |
12550s | well |
12552s | looks like this is going to do |
12554s | enough might not necessarily win but |
12557s | it's going to make him not take a |
12558s | million oh there's so many one HP |
12561s | attacks though being left |
12563s | over really unfortunate just the way the |
12566s | spread is |
12567s | going yeah none of those were the |
12569s | attacks were they let's be |
12571s | honest oh yeah okay well I'm sorry I |
12574s | might have jinxed that but that felt |
12576s | like it should have gone a lot better |
12577s | for bab now taking a full damage cap of |
12579s | 15 is still on 60 though so that's a big |
12582s | deal yeah and look at the difference I |
12585s | know I hop on about this all the time |
12586s | but we we were on gief and I was talking |
12589s | about gief's on 38 he doesn't want to |
12590s | take nine cuz that'll put him below 30 |
12593s | and then he'll take 15 twice and he'll |
12594s | die we went away we came back he was on |
12597s | 30 he' taken literally eight damage and |
12600s | put him on 30 instead of 31 he then got |
12603s | damage capped which then put him to 15 |
12605s | which means he's now eligible to die be |
12607s | babbit exact same situation but he had |
12610s | one HP extra so be babit can get damage |
12613s | capped twice and stay alive and gief |
12616s | cannot like so much of your long-term |
12620s | planning um is riant on this idea of |
12623s | okay how many turns am I guaranteed to |
12626s | live right how de generate can I be with |
12629s | my leveling curve with my greed with my |
12632s | keeping a RAC for longer with a keeping |
12635s | a brand for longer with all all of this |
12637s | kind of stuff right and so much of it is |
12640s | leveraged by a 16 health and 31 Health |
12643s | those two break points specifically and |
12645s | you have to fight tooth and nail to stay |
12649s | above those those two Health totals yeah |
12651s | we did briefly check in with dappy there |
12653s | who's currently sitting in first place |
12654s | with 40 Health looking quite good he |
12657s | needs exactly second place or higher uh |
12661s | to be able to jump sort of jump the |
12663s | queue and get into the lobby into to |
12665s | check sitting there on 14 |
12668s | points looks to be doing a good job of |
12670s | it so far you are not out of this |
12675s | yet we're going to see how good a job as |
12677s | gief is about to queue into him for the |
12684s | fight all looking surprisingly uh the at |
12689s | glance it looks weak but you can see |
12690s | where the strength of of how dappy has |
12692s | been you know winning fights and keeping |
12694s | that Health total |
12695s | High yeah I it just tams in in a |
12698s | nutshell right like you just end up |
12699s | being so much stronger than you appear |
12701s | to be it's my experience of every fight |
12703s | I queue into tams in is like the reveal |
12706s | happens like the blur clears and you see |
12708s | the board and you're like oh okay and |
12710s | then the hero power fires you're like oh |
12712s | I just got smacked oh satellite is out |
12715s | definitely not satellite's day that's |
12717s | zero points which means he's going to |
12719s | still be on seven points total going |
12723s | into the next game yeah one of the great |
12726s | things about check format though is that |
12728s | it does not matter how bad your day is |
12730s | going the tournament is always in your |
12732s | own hands it is impossible for it not to |
12735s | be all you have to do is win every game |
12738s | of Battlegrounds you play from any point |
12740s | you are in in the tournament and you |
12742s | will win the |
12743s | tournament here babbit down to eight |
12746s | health though so didn't take some damage |
12748s | there waterl also dangerous everyone |
12751s | except for the top three now could die |
12753s | at any given turn and again just to |
12755s | remind you beat babit needs exactly a |
12758s | win nothing else matters |
12767s | and uh as predicted looks like the uh |
12769s | the tide Oracle did hit the board on the |
12770s | previous turn yeah you can quite clearly |
12772s | see that manov has already been through |
12774s | one combat with the uh the tide Oracle |
12776s | in |
12778s | Play No base skill yet though needs the |
12782s | base skill would sell his right arm for |
12785s | a Bas skill right now I'm sure looks |
12788s | like he might be trying to sell some |
12789s | stuff for a Bas skill at this point if |
12790s | he's going go for a |
12792s | roll yeah gets rid |
12796s | of there's no merlock on board right |
12798s | like that was that was a Oh no there is |
12799s | a yeah there is I was going to say yeah |
12801s | that this won't work no this won't work |
12803s | you're absolutely right I was very |
12805s | confused I was like s's not about to |
12807s | tell me that this minion is not a mlock |
12809s | cuz if so I want speaked to the art |
12813s | Department T seven minions are actually |
12816s | just their their minion type is Tav s |
12818s | minion they don't actually have minion |
12819s | types outside of |
12824s | here though be pit just needs to survive |
12827s | if he wants to close this tournament out |
12831s | quickly uhoh yeah golden a that's not it |
12834s | is it |
12835s | no not looking |
12838s | good there's some death rattles there's |
12841s | a little bit of a reborn Shenanigans |
12843s | going on maybe to prop some Divine |
12844s | Shields if the trades go well and it |
12846s | leaves just the uh the righteous up |
12849s | maybe yeah it's fine that's that's okay |
12853s | absolutely got |
12856s | there okay lives to fight another round |
12860s | have you ever seen a human more clenched |
12862s | in your life than beater babbit was |
12864s | right there no |
12867s | way here's something that we have not |
12869s | seen all tournament by the way the uh |
12871s | the Gusty rock rock one of probably the |
12873s | most dominant comps that you'll see on |
12875s | ladder a lot of the time also sounds |
12877s | like a very obscure music |
12880s | genre |
12882s | Gusty rock rock yeah yeah sure it's like |
12887s | Gusty rock you know what does that mean |
12890s | though that's why I said it sounds like |
12891s | an obscure music genre oh |
12895s | okay but even like even if you're going |
12898s | into weird sub genres of think like if |
12899s | you hear like Doom metal you kind of |
12902s | know what that sounds like right it's |
12903s | still like a fairly descriptive title I |
12905s | don't know what Gusty music sounds like |
12908s | it's cuz you've not heard the genre yet |
12910s | so I suppose to be fair like shoe gaze |
12913s | do you know what shoe gaze sounds like |
12915s | without knowing that already not not at |
12918s | all all right |
12920s | Fair it's uh you know like weird emoe |
12924s | goth kids who dance by staring down at |
12926s | the floor and just sort of shuffling |
12927s | back and forwards oh likees Sho Gaz the |
12931s | oh okay I get it yeah I get it |
12934s | yeah I thought it was more focused on |
12936s | some kind of Footwear genre as opposed |
12938s | to just literally doing what it says mm |
12941s | MH I have not paid attention to this |
12944s | whatsoever my bad |
12946s | uh that |
12950s | one oh we went against each other |
12954s | e yeah I did not have time to evaluate |
12956s | cuz I was too busy thinking about music |
12958s | genres I had time to evaluate don't know |
12960s | and |
12961s | didn't I had time to evaluate but I have |
12964s | the handicap a big stupid unfortunately |
12966s | yeah you don't know what it's like |
12968s | so that sign Can't Stop me cuz I can't |
12976s | read it |
12978s | looks close is though doesn't though |
12982s | does |
12984s | it oh actually I suppose that goes in |
12987s | yeah does it looks close close enough to |
12989s | say close yeah I didn't realize that |
12991s | value traded cuz with like you can see |
12993s | it resolves D was number of attacks |
12995s | right was because of that one Eternal |
12997s | summon a value trade that it ends up as |
12999s | a tie otherwise it a guant gued we the |
13001s | other way wait do we both get points or |
13004s | do none of us get points uh unclear but |
13008s | puzzle box question will a Barrel's |
13010s | blessing end in a |
13012s | tie yes it will did we both put wait did |
13015s | I put yes on that we both put yes for |
13017s | that yeah okay |
13019s | you you face the sea little bird over |
13022s | here get some work Shing Elementals jeez |
13026s | yeah and just to note as well aluu uh |
13029s | has died of course so didn't get hold of |
13031s | those points that were |
13035s | needed uh confirm from support when when |
13037s | a barrel was blessing ties everyone gets |
13039s | points for their pick |
13042s | yes |
13044s | everyone you get a point and you get a |
13047s | point and most importantly chat gets |
13049s | points cuz you know they'd be upset if |
13050s | they didn't yeah |
13054s | true gief now just again playing card |
13059s | Stone does have the uh golden blue gill |
13062s | which is always a good |
13065s | sight dealing four charge damage to the |
13068s | opponent's face instead of |
13071s | two did I just call it a blue kill he |
13074s | did look we're in game five or whatever |
13076s | look okay you know what I'm like so |
13078s | we're a few hours in yeah yeah actually |
13080s | this is about like constructed series 4 |
13084s | Raven isn't it and you know everyone |
13086s | enjoys it it's a good |
13088s | time I'm exactly the same when I |
13093s | stream you're doing great there wait |
13097s | that would be great if they just put |
13098s | Blue Gill and it just dealt two |
13101s | damage just Bops you in the face start |
13104s | of the fight yeah it just goes goes face |
13106s | it'll be so sick that's a free |
13109s | idea yeah you'd have to literally like |
13112s | right on the card this cannot be buffed |
13114s | in anyway right or else like Let It bu |
13117s | let it get buffed it's just a merlock |
13120s | it's how easy the golden one can get |
13122s | buffed how about |
13126s | that it would be understand why uh Raven |
13129s | has never applied for a game design |
13131s | position I told you initial design where |
13134s | is where it's at I have the ideas but |
13135s | little bird and tomb are going to be out |
13137s | and that puts be babit in the top three |
13139s | on eight health and a dream that dream |
13142s | is still |
13144s | alive okay am I doing the thing again |
13146s | where I'm about to ask how did little |
13147s | bird die and it was in the fight that we |
13148s | literally watched cuz I wasn't paying |
13150s | attention cuz little little bird seemed |
13152s | kind of |
13153s | massive yeah let me have a look at the |
13155s | board actually Hey Little Bird was quite |
13158s | large yeah Elementals and |
13161s | zfish mhm I have no |
13167s | clue |
13169s | up oh I think I might be seeing the |
13171s | issue if again apologies if we did just |
13174s | watch the fight and I wasn't paying |
13175s | attention but if Little Bird fought |
13176s | dappy for example oh sure uh there is a |
13179s | ton of scam hanging around on dappy's |
13181s | board right now that would just clean up |
13183s | those |
13186s | Elementals now realistically can be a |
13190s | babbit convert this to a win because not |
13193s | a win does not matter to be a babbit |
13195s | right |
13209s | now Sou is a uh a nice little card to |
13212s | have in the back pocket as well you want |
13214s | to start really going in on those Divine |
13217s | Shields yeah this is kind of wild though |
13220s | that be babbit has managed to get to |
13222s | this point without the base skill to go |
13224s | with the tide Oracle like it does just |
13226s | speak to how powerful a card tide Oracle |
13228s | is to begin with but it just makes |
13230s | everything that one turn delayed right |
13232s | when you then do actually have to play |
13234s | the Minions from hand right um it's also |
13237s | it's more Awkward than that right |
13239s | because in one fight you might have tide |
13241s | Oracle attack um and then you you'll end |
13243s | up with like a 3030 in your hand or |
13245s | whatever that 3030 might not |
13247s | significantly improve your board that |
13250s | turn right but then you have to put it |
13252s | on the board to actually get any value |
13254s | out of it at all you know like so it |
13256s | gets a little awkward when you don't |
13257s | have that base skill value going on yeah |
13259s | we are going to see some Divine Shields |
13261s | sort of head by each other here but it |
13263s | looks like especially with the base |
13264s | skill still intact it's not going to go |
13268s | here babbit's way and that means we're |
13269s | going to have no winner for the |
13272s | tournament in this game it's going to be |
13274s | at least one more game and also pry |
13278s | confident that dappy and gief are going |
13280s | to be able to put this one in check too |
13282s | correct yeah there were you said there |
13284s | was no winner but actually there was two |
13286s | pretty big Winners tournament winner |
13289s | yeah dappy uh now has a guaranteed six |
13292s | points he was on 14 gief now has a |
13294s | guaranteed six points H he is on 15.5 |
13297s | which means both of those now absolutely |
13300s | Ely hit the 20 point threshold and we |
13303s | are going to at the very least a triple |
13305s | check situation I don't know if anything |
13308s | further down the list but just from an |
13310s | eye test I think it will just be those |
13312s | three who now have the lobby in check |
13314s | yeah little bird was on 10.5 points so |
13317s | that's not going to be enough uh tomb |
13319s | was on |
13321s | 15 so that's not enough nope alimu |
13326s | missed yeah so yeah I believe it is just |
13328s | those three but honestly so |
13331s | three is enough to really increase the |
13333s | chances that this uh this tournament |
13335s | ends very very soon especially when the |
13338s | three are like you know be a babit we've |
13340s | seen even in this which was a bit of a |
13341s | dier game get to top three uh gief has |
13345s | been just pulling you know rabbits out |
13346s | of hats with some of the tricks he's |
13348s | been doing this this weekend and dappy |
13351s | pulling this out the b as well extremely |
13353s | strong |
13357s | performance and uh gief is once again |
13360s | just absolutely carding people like what |
13363s | is going on on this board it is just |
13366s | simply cards yeah but it's also simply |
13369s | working right it's done exactly what |
13371s | it's needed to do yes gief wasn't first |
13373s | to put the lobby in check but he was in |
13375s | the first your three right or I guess |
13378s | the the second set of people to put it |
13380s | in check so it's as fast as you you're |
13381s | really going to get at this point a |
13384s | really successful few games here from |
13386s | G and I know there'll be a lot of people |
13388s | in chat cheering for him as well so |
13392s | yeah absolutely look at this level of |
13394s | scam though on the other side like I |
13397s | know this isn't the full base skill |
13399s | clown car that we have seen in a couple |
13401s | of the games but in terms of just the |
13403s | the seven minions you actually have |
13405s | starting on your board it does not get a |
13407s | lot better than |
13411s | this yeah this is |
13413s | honestly just as if Battlegrounds just |
13415s | said actually we're doubling the width |
13417s | of the board yeah it's like there you go |
13419s | enjoy |
13421s | and that is going to be the win for |
13423s | dappy a very convincing win with pretty |
13426s | much no one challenging him throughout |
13428s | the whole game right like finishing it |
13430s | on 30 I think one Health um incredible |
13434s | performance and exactly what he needed |
13436s | to propel himself into uh into sight of |
13439s | actually ending and winning this Lobby |
13442s | Legends tournament so we're going to uh |
13445s | hopefully get a new uh a new anomaly for |
13449s | the next game sure how much longer can |
13451s | this go on hick ax but we'll have to |
13454s | just see how that one goes but really |
13455s | really big win there for dappy and uh |
13458s | that just shows how quickly the |
13460s | positions can change in this format |
13462s | suddenly it was just be babit had a |
13463s | chance of winning and then dappy who |
13465s | came in at sixth going into that game |
13469s | now he's on the same level as beat babby |
13471s | so it really is special how quickly this |
13475s | can change remind me again who is in |
13477s | your fantasy team it is uh uh Tom dappy |
13484s | and waterl okay so you did have D yeah |
13486s | okay so that's you somewhat bad news for |
13488s | me I mean I do have beat babbit on mine |
13490s | which is potentially good news as he's |
13492s | now well within a one in three shot |
13495s | straight up of winning the lobby right |
13496s | now with two other people but I honestly |
13499s | feel like when we talk about this you're |
13500s | not bothered or thinking about if you |
13503s | lose it's how much you're going to win |
13505s | by is I feel like what you're trying to |
13507s | think about it's like is this going to |
13508s | be very one-sided or you know is he |
13510s | going to be a bit close I didn't I |
13512s | didn't get to the end of that which is |
13514s | the bad news for me is that I do have |
13515s | satellite as my third player who is not |
13518s | doing particularly well in this |
13520s | tournament as it stands right now so the |
13522s | fact that you know we both have tomb and |
13524s | then like you have dappy I have |
13526s | satellite and you know your guy just won |
13528s | a a a Lobby and mine finished eighth |
13530s | it's a pretty big Point swing but yeah I |
13532s | think overall I would imagine I'm still |
13535s | in a fairly significant lead but I think |
13537s | you've just destroyed me again on |
13539s | bandwagon yeah yeah and again like to |
13543s | actually focus in on something a bit |
13544s | more relevant that is a pretty serious |
13546s | point about this meta is that if you are |
13548s | experienced with it which I am right not |
13550s | as I don't play as much as these people |
13552s | do but I play a good amount of |
13553s | Battlegrounds you start to understand |
13556s | that this is a very knowledge-based meta |
13557s | right this is the anomaly these are the |
13559s | heroes you get offered these are the |
13560s | minion types certain things just are |
13563s | much better to do than other things |
13565s | under those lists of variables right and |
13567s | I just have a decent understanding of |
13569s | what those things are so I'm able to |
13571s | just kind of pick on hero plus anomaly a |
13574s | lot of the time of what's going to be |
13575s | successful well that is another game in |
13577s | the box but now the next game is going |
13579s | to contain three players that could just |
13581s | end the tournament there and then so |
13583s | you've got to make sure you don't miss |
13585s | it we'll be right back after this |

13952s | welcome back everyone to Lobby Legends |
13954s | we are getting our next game ready to go |
13956s | and now we have three players that could |
13958s | take the Victory and end the tournament |
13961s | right after this game so you've just had |
13964s | your break you make sure you don't go |
13965s | anywhere now because it could be over |
13967s | after this one no it's getting |
13968s | progressively more likely anyway uh |
13970s | sutle who do you think is going to grab |
13972s | it if one of the three |
13975s | does I mean that's it's such a tough |
13977s | call to make I think bebit has show yeah |
13981s | Tess I think be babbit has shown the |
13983s | best propensity for building winning |
13986s | boards so far right like gief has been a |
13988s | very consistent performer but it has |
13991s | just been cards board a lot of the time |
13993s | right like a midsize cleave a couple of |
13995s | scam units a Divine Shield torn blah |
13998s | blah blah blah blah um where just replay |
14001s | don't worry yeah yeah yeah okay it does |
14003s | seem like uh babit has more consistently |
14005s | put together those winning looking |
14007s | boards but you know a lot of the time |
14009s | that's not necessarily A a reflection on |
14011s | the player it's just a reflection on the |
14012s | cards those people have been dealt |
14014s | respectively right and they' they've |
14015s | both done equally well to to transition |
14017s | into the best things that they've been |
14019s | offered so it's really really hard to |
14021s | say you know once we get to turn one |
14024s | turn two I can maybe give you a better |
14026s | pict because my my bandwagon picks on |
14028s | turn one and turn two have been pretty |
14029s | good so far but um yes seeing it cold |
14032s | without even knowing what the anomaly is |
14033s | like it's it's a big call to make yeah |
14036s | well let's take a look and as you can |
14037s | see yeah we were correcting our quick |
14038s | napkin math uh editions going on so it |
14041s | is be babit gief and dappy their points |
14044s | now kind well not not don't matter |
14046s | because the second third fourth fifth |
14048s | and so on with the prize pool but for |
14050s | them in terms of winning the tournament |
14052s | all they have to do is win a game finish |
14055s | it first place all the players from tomb |
14058s | and Below still need to hit a total of |
14060s | 20 points or more before they can |
14063s | actually have a chance at winning this |
14065s | Lobby Legends tournament so all eyes |
14068s | naturally going to be drawn to beater |
14070s | babbit gief and dappy and if any one of |
14072s | them gets propelled ahead then you know |
14075s | we could be uh ending this tournament |
14077s | pretty soon take a look at gief and and |
14079s | kind of continuing what you were saying |
14081s | about gief like he's definitely been |
14082s | playing a more um sort of uh what's the |
14085s | best way to phrase it cuz I saw some |
14087s | don't want to say want to say in the |
14088s | chat about it but um definitely been |
14091s | playing a a sort of I will definitely |
14093s | get points it may not be the most points |
14096s | but some will happen do you think we're |
14099s | going to well how much do you think that |
14101s | was done on purpose to just try and just |
14104s | go sort of slow and steady wins the race |
14106s | approach to 20 points and now do you |
14108s | think we're going to see an extremely |
14110s | different approach from gief because |
14112s | those sort of just cardboards won't cut |
14114s | it oh we did |
14117s | it it's something else it's literally |
14121s | any other |
14122s | anomaly um just to go back like the fact |
14125s | we did play so many overgrowths in a row |
14128s | right like I think that kind of Scrappy |
14130s | cards board that gief was doing very |
14132s | well with for most of those games does |
14134s | go Fairly hand inand with that anomaly |
14137s | because you can continue to just go oh |
14141s | that's a good card and buy it very late |
14143s | into the game right we talked about that |
14144s | a little bit in the tech card battles as |
14146s | well whereas you know if you get to turn |
14150s | nine turn 10 or whatever you can't just |
14153s | buy like a cleave from the shop right |
14156s | and put it on your board because it's |
14158s | pathetically small at that point and |
14159s | it's way too late to try and scale it |
14161s | whereas as we saw from gief gief was |
14163s | continuing to just buy a Divine Shield |
14166s | minion late on um or a uh a cleave |
14170s | lateer on right and just continuing to |
14172s | add to his board with big powerful |
14174s | minions over time and not only did we |
14176s | get a different anomaly cell we got one |
14177s | you wanted double header first time you |
14179s | buy a minion each turn get an extra copy |
14181s | of it this might be a Fast and Furious |
14191s | game oh one second to go got it in on |
14194s | turn one all |
14196s | right yeah what are the hero that are |
14199s | sticking out to you here because I can |
14201s | spot a milh housee and even the Noz do |
14203s | move from |
14205s | Jeep uh just sorry just real quick um I |
14208s | always get these two mixed up to make |
14209s | sure I've got the right one is it two |
14210s | copies or first one two copies two |
14212s | copies it's double two copies okay so um |
14216s | anything that can get the ability to see |
14219s | high Tavern minions in the shop first |
14221s | and foremost right like Toki is huge in |
14223s | this Lobby if you can get a toy we don't |
14225s | see one um also the ability like |
14229s | Milhouse generally with both of the with |
14232s | double header and grapnel is is pretty |
14234s | effective just that extra economy being |
14236s | thrown into a uh a Milhouse pit is |
14238s | pretty good which is why I've gone with |
14240s | uh water loot initially as my pick but |
14244s | honestly it's just about heroes that can |
14248s | safely ramp omu is another big one right |
14250s | because actually getting to Tav five and |
14253s | buying Tavern five minions is |
14256s | significantly better than tripling into |
14258s | fives when you get a second copy of them |
14261s | for free you know like that is |
14262s | absolutely massive yeah it's one of the |
14264s | reasons that I've actually gone for |
14265s | bandwagon for G because I just think the |
14268s | uh the the roles are going to be really |
14270s | nice you know to find exactly what you |
14272s | want oh yeah yeah yeah for sure it's a |
14274s | decent |
14274s | CH look at this already overrunning I do |
14277s | think though at least you can tell me |
14280s | about it SLE at higher mmrs but around |
14283s | my MMR these games are ruthless because |
14286s | the game just escalates so fast because |
14289s | you are doubling up everything you've |
14291s | got so triples are are |
14293s | abound and listen it just looking at the |
14296s | makeup of the lobby as well um so you've |
14299s | got uh dragons Pirates naga in is the |
14304s | big three I would say um but all of |
14307s | those kind of lead towards you actually |
14309s | wanting to get to six and so you can buy |
14312s | multiple teis multiple calakos for |
14315s | example from the shop and get double |
14316s | copies of them for massive scaling so uh |
14319s | there's no Elementals in this Lobby |
14320s | which I think is the first thing to |
14321s | point out because Elementals tend to be |
14324s | king in this instance first off |
14326s | Elementals exist in the in the early |
14328s | game and then those are massive but then |
14331s | your win condition is gusy on five you |
14334s | only have to get to five and then roll |
14336s | Austy in your shop and you're in |
14337s | business whereas in this instance you |
14339s | kind of have to go all the way to six |
14341s | are there opportunities for Undead to |
14343s | actually have an at least an early to |
14345s | mid game impact just because of the |
14347s | amount of power you end end up putting |
14349s | on board with that attack oh more so |
14351s | than that I think Undead are more than |
14353s | capable of winning this Lobby like |
14355s | absolutely um you can see just the |
14357s | amount of early game Power that you can |
14359s | output with the with the doubling up and |
14361s | then yeah again like if your fight |
14363s | seeing one Primus and you get two of |
14365s | them that's fantastic if you see one |
14367s | Eternal Summoner and you're getting two |
14368s | of them that's fantastic like they they |
14370s | can absolutely hang with the big boys in |
14373s | this kind of |
14375s | Lobby Little B already I mean look at |
14377s | the damage just flying around all |
14378s | already it feels so much faster than |
14382s | what we've been used to with just a plus |
14383s | one plus one right like already players |
14385s | losing armor getting below |
14391s | 30 in a really really tense game because |
14395s | not only is it tense for the three |
14397s | players that can actually just win and |
14399s | end the tournament and be become the |
14401s | champion but also all the other players |
14403s | are not only trying to get their own |
14405s | points but are probably trying a little |
14407s | bit extra harder to to like attack the |
14410s | players that can win the |
14412s | lobby all these discovers being broken |
14414s | is kind of irritating okay finds the |
14417s | Wrath Weaver triple so we'll be able to |
14420s | presumably take the level and buy here |
14423s | as well |
14424s | okay makes |
14426s | sense I'm guessing it's a a freeze after |
14430s | yeah Nest matron with the double uh crab |
14434s | as well double crab |
14437s | mount also forgive me if I'm wrong and |
14440s | I'm misremembering my mechanics but I |
14442s | seem to remember he's already bought |
14444s | this turn I guess they were being sold |
14446s | anyway so it doesn't work yeah but |
14447s | ideally I I I'm not sure if we've seen |
14449s | anyone do this yet but I think you if |
14451s | you crab Mount the shop and then buy the |
14453s | minion you get the copy of the crab |
14455s | mounts on the minion as well so you're |
14458s | doubling the amount of crabs that you |
14459s | summon in combat but that never that |
14461s | wasn't going to work out for water loot |
14463s | in that shop phase cuz the things he |
14465s | bought were patient Scouts which he was |
14466s | then immediately selling so he can't put |
14469s | the crab mount on |
14471s | them we'll keep an eye out yeah I think |
14473s | you see it here right G from the the the |
14476s | faceless you can see they've both got |
14477s | the death rattle suggesting that they've |
14479s | been |
14485s | copied we'll see how many crabs these |
14487s | spit out M that's the tricky part isn't |
14490s | it I feel like the more Battlegrounds |
14492s | evolves the harder it is to cast cuz |
14494s | there's so much hidden information that |
14497s | with all the crazy things that can be |
14498s | done done at the moment yeah you saw it |
14501s | there right two on each which means they |
14502s | were put on it first and then copied by |
14504s | the |
14505s | buy no great surprise that gief is |
14507s | getting the mechanics right |
14511s | mhm I've some recruits oh there's a |
14515s | golden locked up as well huge wow yeah |
14519s | and this it it just changes the game |
14522s | this is for me one of the most impactful |
14525s | uh anomalies uh I've played you know |
14528s | enough to to just think like the whole |
14530s | game changes because even some of the |
14533s | minions power level changes when you can |
14534s | just do it twice right you look at your |
14536s | battlecry minions as well like you could |
14538s | just do everything twice it's |
14542s | incredible I mean none of those yeah |
14546s | they they've not got any |
14549s | better yeah one of the things I didn't |
14551s | point out when you're talking about me |
14552s | like ways to ways to abuse this anomaly |
14554s | right I was talking about ways to just |
14556s | cheat expensive minions into the shop |
14558s | right I was talking about Toki was |
14560s | talking about fast leveling with omu |
14562s | yeah faceless absolutely gets there |
14564s | right especially if you hit a triple of |
14566s | it so we've already seen gief use those |
14569s | two faceless to put a five drop in shop |
14571s | with the the record Smuggler and then um |
14574s | boom just takes the golden puts another |
14576s | five drop in the shop as well absolutely |
14577s | huge stuff and it's just showing off |
14579s | what you were talking about not too long |
14580s | ago right where it you need to have that |
14583s | knowledge which minions are better with |
14585s | which anomalies and how to use them how |
14587s | to execute these turns and get the most |
14589s | value because it's such a competitive |
14592s | tournament I mean just look at that |
14593s | player list that you need anything to |
14596s | give you any kind of edge you got this |
14598s | way ahead letting this go yeah I think |
14600s | satellite letting that triple go which |
14602s | um is not something that you largely |
14605s | ever see a low ranked or mid-ranked |
14608s | player do right see Triple take triple |
14610s | that is basically the Mantra of |
14611s | basically every AAL okay I want to I |
14615s | just want to trip on my cards but I |
14617s | think satellite recog izing here that |
14619s | this Lobby isn't necessarily about |
14620s | tripling it's about finding powerful |
14623s | things in shop and buying them and that |
14624s | is a triple from satellite that would |
14626s | make him significantly weaker on board |
14628s | if you took it there |
14632s | right look how close everything is |
14636s | everyone suddenly around the the late |
14643s | [Music] |
14647s | 20s |
14652s | okay what is going on here a lot of I |
14653s | was going to say a lot of moving Parts |
14655s | here on dappy's |
14659s | B get it looks like dappy went a little |
14662s | bit of uh Tab and one farming this game |
14665s | um not get to go into a |
14669s | five okay end of turn with the dragon |
14672s | going off I do sure yeah go and the |
14676s | coins as well from The Dread beard oh |
14678s | yeah true of |
14681s | course can we get a Milhouse update |
14684s | please Linda yeah waterl currently down |
14687s | on 25 |
14689s | Health has ended up on the Naga to an |
14696s | extent again it's that it's that strange |
14698s | thing where it just the the anomaly |
14700s | Alters the game right because every Naga |
14702s | with a spell you buy you get two spells |
14705s | right so Naga again is another very |
14707s | attractive minion typ for this |
14714s | anomaly loic B is being held for next |
14717s | turn it looks like gief playing with an |
14720s | enormous amount of gold each turn |
14721s | because of the double |
14725s | record will he have an enormous amount |
14727s | of Health after this |
14730s | turn it looks like a huge amount of his |
14732s | board is going to just March merrily |
14734s | into these two dragons before really |
14736s | achieving anything the Jakari I think is |
14739s | going to live isn't |
14742s | it be amount of damage he'll have a shot |
14746s | with the crab |
14752s | oh really big round there for |
14758s | for and and uh the Gold's was that |
14762s | 17 yeah yeah and the gamblers are just |
14766s | like hey how's it going three EXT |
14773s | options options options now as gief goes |
14775s | into a tavent tier |
14780s | six not looking so good to beat a babbit |
14782s | on 13 Health but |
14785s | H okay that's actually huge cuz now you |
14789s | can just take that triple into a six now |
14791s | and maybe jup the six with the duo |
14794s | instead of using the duo to get the |
14796s | triple oh sure |
14800s | a Mel of love right we did yeah I mean I |
14804s | followed what you said I don't know if |
14805s | just going to do it but I followed |
14807s | it |
14815s | oh yeah there's zero gold left and there |
14818s | is 27 seconds left this turn is far from |
14821s | finished gief still has several choices |
14823s | to be made here I think yeah especially |
14825s | when there's just a simple one for one |
14827s | with the Gam right like that's there |
14829s | there you |
14833s | go teis no teis okay not the best so |
14840s | delicious yeah boogy monster doesn't |
14842s | tend to be a Lobby winning six drop but |
14844s | maybe if you have two of about two yeah |
14846s | I was going to say that's the thing to |
14847s | think about right what if you offered |
14849s | two and is this 1442 enough to stabilize |
14853s | G for another turn |
14857s | anyway |
14861s | definitely going to need a little bit of |
14862s | help with some good hits with this |
14863s | Divine |
14865s | Shield yeah because the the Wrath Weaver |
14868s | and the the abomb are both going to be |
14870s | above 14 by the time the attacks get |
14872s | through right so I think there's just |
14874s | too many value traits to happen |
14876s | okay but still yeah yeah and managed to |
14879s | kill a couple of high damage although is |
14881s | this this is going to be 13 yeah okay |
14884s | okay still above damage |
14887s | cap |
14888s | but saying that everyone's kind of all |
14890s | over the place if you look at the health |
14892s | look how different the turn eight health |
14895s | is in this game versus pretty much every |
14897s | other game we've cast all weekend yeah |
14899s | yeah yeah it's |
14905s | absurd dappy just buying cards like the |
14908s | the average value of a card goes up |
14910s | significantly when you have two peggies |
14912s | right you're buying things you wouldn't |
14913s | normally consider buying because buying |
14916s | a card just becomes signicant ly better |
14919s | y |
14920s | [Music] |
14922s | yep so you know ston Hill scavenger |
14924s | Buffs two taunts and activates two |
14926s | peggies yeah good card all of a sudden |
14928s | right not something you would |
14929s | necessarily be buying in that situation |
14930s | if you just had the two TS yeah shell |
14933s | collector a nice pickup as |
14936s | well is that the second time we've seen |
14941s | it offer triple demon this |
14945s | game kind of |
14947s | weird |
14948s | was the first time |
14950s | triple yeah it was um it was was it gief |
14953s | look at like tripling into a four drop |
14955s | and was offered the three four drop |
14957s | demons was like floating Watcher and Oh |
14960s | I thought the the Chompy Dragon was one |
14961s | of the ones he got offered but I think |
14963s | I'm wrong yeah that's also a demon |
14965s | though oh wait it is oh yeah yeah y |
14968s | you're right you're right take it back I |
14971s | wasn't wrong is a |
14972s | dragon uh meanwhile be babbit has four |
14975s | tees hang on he's also on 13 though wait |
14979s | wait wait wait wait wait never mind our |
14981s | petty squabbles about what is or isn't a |
14983s | demon this is some vital business going |
14986s | on right now yeah this is huge and we |
14989s | have the only jef out of the three |
14992s | players who could potentially actually |
14993s | win is above the damage cap here so |
14996s | dappy and be ofit no matter how good |
14998s | their turns are they pretty much just |
15000s | cannot take a take a loss in a fight if |
15002s | they want to be victorious here B habbit |
15005s | still going off here with plenty of time |
15006s | left |
15008s | I mean M makers wait for it why don't |
15010s | you |
15016s | gez okay underhanded has been found as |
15018s | well I mean if if he survives that's |
15021s | excellent additional scaling for next |
15022s | turn if you can find a board space for |
15024s | it yeah and there is enough sustain I |
15026s | would say as well even just with the two |
15028s | Divine Shields that is irrelevant |
15030s | because the the problem you can run into |
15032s | at this kind of stage with pirates is |
15033s | that stuff can get wiped too |
15036s | easily more |
15041s | pagans I don't think Beta had any time |
15043s | to really consider positioning though |
15045s | was just turboing through his turn and |
15047s | because of that has kind of eaten it on |
15049s | these first two |
15051s | attacks that Manor off being bumped is |
15053s | huge though this is massive where this |
15056s | goes okay that is going to be a win I |
15058s | believe now Y and that is yeah oh dappy |
15062s | is sang oh so dappy he's actually |
15064s | knocked a contender out with this attack |
15068s | as well so dappy now is going to have to |
15070s | sit back watch the rest of the game |
15072s | cross his fingers and hope none of the |
15073s | other two players |
15076s | win brutal what a turn for be babbit |
15080s | probably wasn't the the cleanest turn |
15083s | ever but it was a good enough turn to |
15085s | stay in the |
15088s | game it just keeps on |
15096s | going and the speed of of play and the |
15099s | play the speed will actually be even |
15100s | faster on his screen right because he'll |
15103s | be actually putting these actions in |
15104s | quicker than we're seeing them I think |
15106s | um but regardless shows how experienced |
15110s | and comfortable he is with this kind of |
15118s | scenario oh my it's just infinite isn't |
15122s | it this is truly infinite yeah |
15125s | absolutely |
15126s | absolutely |
15129s | myv you can see even like he sacrificed |
15131s | one of his his teis to just fit the the |
15134s | underhanded dealer on board right for |
15135s | some additional scaling and he's still |
15137s | very comfortably infinite at this |
15139s | point but again still good amount of |
15142s | time for this turn which is fine but |
15144s | it's all about how the turn finishes all |
15146s | of this can go very well but if you |
15148s | whiff at the end then you you're dead o |
15151s | glow scale good pick up |
15156s | there oh interesting as well I think |
15159s | went for the BFF instead of the death |
15173s | rattle oh my God so many things are |
15177s | happening okay 60 seconds to decide who |
15180s | is going to be the Victor between little |
15182s | bird on the left and alimu on the right |
15184s | looks like we've got high stats across |
15186s | the board but a couple of Leroy versus |
15188s | some potential venomous |
15190s | scan a lot of golden |
15195s | monkeys oh now this is an |
15199s | anomaly and these are all getting pumped |
15202s | as well because they all put a uh a |
15205s | triple reward spell card into the hand |
15207s | right which has Synergy with Peggy as |
15209s | well and bumping up the |
15213s | minions what are we on is this game six |
15216s | so is this what we're up to |
15218s | I think it |
15221s | is yes yes it |
15224s | is taunted Leroy found from little bird |
15227s | as |
15233s | well little bit of Uther action to |
15235s | finish it |
15236s | off worth noting these six drops that |
15238s | are getting played are picking up the |
15240s | Buffs off the uh boogie monster as |
15244s | well it looks like we agree on this one |
15246s | S as I think little bird is just too far |
15248s | ahead with the Leroy pickup the double |
15250s | venomous as well and now even just the |
15253s | pretty relevant zap actually I think |
15255s | this is uh going to be too good yeah zap |
15258s | doesn't connect with a LeRoy though |
15260s | which is a nice little outcome at the |
15262s | very least for alen also only one |
15265s | venomous re Bond proc there but one |
15267s | looks to be |
15269s | enough could live though the good attack |
15272s | that is the good attack for sure that |
15274s | means ALU is hanging in for another |
15276s | fight or so |
15278s | oh tomb's gone water L's |
15280s | gone top four and two of the players in |
15283s | that top four the two with the most |
15285s | health one of which is gief on |
15290s | 16 could win the game and end this |
15294s | tournament right here right now never |
15295s | mind J's caught up it's on |
15299s | five I mean damage Cap's not relevant |
15301s | anyway but |
15304s | still so can be a bad do |
15309s | this oh absolutely I think p babbit is |
15312s | in by far the best position yeah with |
15314s | his performance all weekend cuz I do |
15316s | feel like he's been the star of the |
15319s | show just be incredible just so quick so |
15322s | quick get the job |
15327s | done other team are going to have to |
15329s | pull something out the bag here or fall |
15331s | victim to beat a babbit's board down and |
15334s | up a better hire a recruit while is I |
15338s | believe there is a mgou on Bea babbit's |
15342s | board at this moment in time as well as |
15344s | a lot of |
15350s | stats yeah a lot of stats four minions |
15353s | above 100 hundreds so stats is just |
15356s | absolutely not a contest with what turn |
15359s | isn't over till it's over either |
15366s | so |
15368s | ALU has that weird puzzle where it's |
15370s | like well you know this Peggy is |
15373s | pointless right in this next fight |
15374s | surely alimu is just on a fight by fight |
15376s | basis cuz he will want to kill beab |
15379s | babby so he can't win right even if |
15381s | alimu alimu does not win himself that's |
15384s | kind of |
15385s | irrelevant yeah need to stop beer and G |
15389s | basically this is a tag team titles |
15391s | match right now right like ALU and |
15392s | little bird are a tag team and they have |
15394s | to respectively kill beat babit and alut |
15397s | and and gief sorry that is the job that |
15399s | they have unfortunately ALU is not |
15402s | capable of doing that right now it's so |
15406s | many stats and especially if this uh |
15409s | okay yeah the Leroy takes one down but |
15411s | look even just the fact that Divine |
15413s | Shields as well there's so many layers |
15415s | of protection here be babit is going to |
15418s | dispatch alimu but what about little |
15420s | bird I'm excited how this other fight is |
15422s | going to go cuz if little Bird's out as |
15423s | well this will be the last last game and |
15427s | it is it is going to be the last game |
15429s | we've got beater babbit versus gief as |
15432s | the only players left they both have the |
15434s | lobby in check so we have a simple One V |
15438s | one for all of the marbles okay now the |
15442s | good news gief is already doing what |
15444s | gief is supposed to be doing pivoting to |
15447s | Mega scam as hard as possible right |
15449s | because there is nowhere close when it |
15451s | comes to Stats the additional good news |
15454s | every scam minion you find you have two |
15456s | of them that is excellent news however |
15459s | the bad news uh there's no murlocs in |
15462s | this game which makes scamming your |
15464s | opponents significantly more difficult |
15467s | than it is under normal circumstances |
15469s | when murlocs are out stats tend to rule |
15471s | a little bit harder yeah murl's |
15474s | notorious scammers of the warcraft |
15477s | Universe nearly scammed me out of my |
15479s | hardcore World of Warcraft character the |
15481s | other |
15483s | day are you playing hardcore well I've |
15485s | started it with my brother yeah it is |
15488s | very tense yeah imagine I've been at |
15491s | actually one |
15493s | Health I'm not even exaggerated |
15495s | literally one |
15498s | Health here though gief doing what he |
15500s | can what do we got here one scam we one |
15504s | two let's assume these both get reborn |
15507s | once that's 2 four six poisons manoro is |
15510s | seven let's say the manaro kills |
15511s | something big enough that it then is |
15513s | able to Value trade again it can be done |
15517s | if it is just raw Dum stats on the other |
15520s | side from beta babit this can be done |
15522s | but something tells me we're about to |
15523s | look at a board that is not just raw |
15526s | dumb stats yeah wow yeah gief has been |
15531s | the player showing a lot of resilience |
15533s | so far this weekend but I think just |
15536s | judging from this response we may be |
15539s | looking at a winner I mean we've seen |
15541s | crazy things happen in Battlegrounds |
15543s | we've seen unexpected victories in |
15546s | fights |
15547s | but this just looks |
15550s | overwhelming |
15552s | hold hold there's still the the stats |
15556s | and the death death rles there's no |
15559s | Venom left oh that's true there's no |
15562s | Venom left on be's board and gief still |
15565s | has |
15566s | tons wait could gief's resilience |
15569s | actually just pay off is this just going |
15570s | to work getting the yes I will tell you |
15573s | now yes it is the rebor going to be |
15578s | enough and that looks like it's good |
15580s | enough to me so if I can do basic maths |
15583s | that means gief is not only going to win |
15585s | this one fight but when the whole thing |
15589s | beat babit done gief is your champion |
15592s | and what a player across this weekend |
15596s | SLE gief just kept his head under the |
15599s | radar to an extent just crawled through |
15601s | getting the points needed and then |
15603s | popped off when it |
15606s | counted |
15610s | I mean what a performance right I like |
15612s | crucially the big issue there right is |
15616s | he figured out what the assignment was |
15618s | two turns ago right he didn't just then |
15621s | try and hard pivot to a bunch of mles |
15624s | and leroys and everything else he |
15626s | recognized how the game was going to |
15627s | resolve he knew that beat babbit was the |
15630s | absolute stats God of that Lobby and |
15632s | that no one else was getting close so he |
15634s | spent two turns going over trying to |
15636s | make make that pivot to poison and in |
15638s | the end he absolutely got there um and |
15642s | actually that double Eternal Knight |
15644s | ended up being a lot Eternal Summoner |
15646s | sorry ended up being so much more clutch |
15648s | than he even thought that was his first |
15650s | Buy on the turn that was his double |
15651s | header buy he bought aernal Summoner to |
15653s | double it up and I was like that's kind |
15655s | of weird like that's not a LeRoy that's |
15657s | not a m Roth like what are you doing |
15659s | here and it ended up being so crucial |
15661s | cuz it ate so much venom from the other |
15663s | side well that's it I was going to say I |
15665s | think the biggest thing that threw me |
15666s | off in that last game was I feel like I |
15669s | got myself so comfortable cuz we saw so |
15671s | many murlock games leading up to this |
15674s | one I was like oh well yeah beat babbit |
15676s | will be way ahead we'll have all the the |
15678s | scam there'll be 18,000 more minions |
15680s | coming out in the bo I like wait yeah it |
15682s | isn't merlocks and as as you quite |
15684s | rightly pointed out as soon as that |
15685s | venomous went away well there's nice |
15687s | stats on the board but with the really |
15689s | big ones down and Venom is still alive |
15692s | because of the ghouls then that changes |
15695s | everything and I think again sh to beat |
15697s | a babit though I think played |
15698s | exceptionally well this weekend and you |
15700s | show see how close it was when it came |
15702s | down to one single fight between two of |
15705s | the top players and I am so happy we got |
15709s | this anomaly to end off this tournament |
15711s | so because if it was plus one plus one |
15713s | again I would have lost it oh that is a |
15715s | great attack to show as well I |
15717s | completely forgot about that that clutch |
15719s | crab attack going right instead of left |
15722s | uh to save G from taking damage keeping |
15724s | him keeping him above 31 you can see you |
15727s | know he ended that game on five uh |
15729s | health so I don't know whether the |
15731s | damage cap actually saved him at any |
15732s | point during the game or not whether he |
15734s | took 15 in a place where maybe he |
15736s | wouldn't have otherwise um but great |
15738s | performance um really really solid |
15740s | overall right like satellite we both |
15743s | came into this day saying oh like I pick |
15745s | satellite because satellite's one of the |
15747s | best players we've ever had in lobby |
15748s | Legends like very consistently putting |
15750s | up numbers right so but discounting |
15752s | satellite he had a bad day sure outside |
15754s | of that the performances have been |
15756s | excellent from everyone else like water |
15759s | is our next worst competitor he won two |
15762s | games today like he's doing absolutely |
15765s | fine and also as well just look at be |
15767s | babit actually had more points overall |
15770s | but this is the the sort of Danger Style |
15773s | of this format is once you get to 20 yes |
15776s | B bab's got second place which again for |
15778s | the prize pool is very nice but yeah it |
15781s | it's it shows that once you hit that |
15783s | it's about finishing strong which is |
15785s | what Chief did but I I'm just so happy |
15787s | we got that ending two players that both |
15790s | could win all the way down to that last |
15792s | single fight Incredibly Close and |
15795s | different styles of play as gief sort of |
15797s | sort of turtled his way to Victory I |
15799s | would say as opposed to um beer babbit |
15802s | sort of very clear and decisive game |
15804s | plans from very early on in any given |
15806s | game so really incredible tournament I'm |
15808s | a little bit sad it's over I was okay |
15810s | for all we're throwing some more |
15811s | anomalies in h but let's check out the |
15813s | puzzle box and how that one's panned out |
15815s | as now we know the day is over uh it's |
15819s | interesting I this all uh yeah I mean 43 |
15822s | in the end I got I pulled one back at |
15824s | the last with the with the turn 15 and |
15827s | it could have been a lot more one-sided |
15828s | but yeah I think both days you've uh pck |
15831s | me on the puzzle box so yeah good and I |
15833s | think if there was anything that I was |
15835s | going to beat you on in life it would be |
15837s | a puzzle box outcome right so series of |
15841s | flipping coins with yes no answers all |
15844s | right something there finally goes in my |
15846s | favor can we flip I will uh I will |
15848s | mention while we're wrapping up these uh |
15850s | these Tab and Buddy things uh Chris from |
15853s | support class just wanted us to say like |
15855s | thanks to everyone who's played along |
15857s | with this all year he's the the Mad |
15859s | genius behind all this technology that's |
15861s | making this possible so I just wanted to |
15862s | say thank you for everyone who's had fun |
15864s | with Tab and body this year yeah it's |
15866s | awesome I think it's something that's |
15867s | really uh H added to the tournament I |
15870s | think I mean again I've seen chat right |
15872s | people love it people love their points |
15874s | I've seen even people in um my own |
15876s | Discord are like posting their scores |
15878s | each day and you know like what they've |
15879s | done I think it's really cool to see |
15881s | everyone you know not only just watch |
15882s | and enjoy the tournament but be able to |
15884s | get involved as well so something I |
15885s | really really enjoy uh to see but yeah |
15888s | um we're going to I think we're going to |
15889s | see if we can get G on an interview |
15891s | we're going to just check if his |
15892s | internet is good enough as we saw the uh |
15894s | a slight camera quality discussions |
15897s | which we'll get to but uh for you satle |
15899s | now that we're at the end we the |
15900s | tournament has concluded uh what have |
15902s | been the highlights for you cuz yet |
15903s | again it's Lobby Legends but in a |
15906s | complete different |
15907s | matter yeah I think as much as they were |
15911s | depressing to see come up because of the |
15913s | puzzle box questions the two Tav s |
15916s | lobbies were excellent and I think that |
15918s | is an anomaly that's kind of Gone full |
15920s | circle um during the first week of |
15922s | anomalies it was very heavily boosted in |
15924s | appearance rate and there were all these |
15926s | other like wild and wacky effects that |
15927s | people wanted to play with and a lot of |
15929s | people kind of got tired of the Tav s |
15931s | lobbies over and over again cuz they |
15932s | they felt kind of vanilla with some |
15934s | stronger minions right and there's all |
15935s | this other like what what you can get a |
15937s | whole second copy of a minion that you |
15939s | buy and everyone wanted to play those |
15940s | kind of things instead but now that they |
15942s | become rarer they become more of a |
15945s | breath of fresh air and they are really |
15946s | exciting and explosive when you see them |
15948s | and you start to see some of those |
15950s | things happen with sea witch and am |
15951s | algodon and um so those were both |
15955s | incredibly degenerate when we got to see |
15957s | them and then honestly I'm happy a with |
15959s | the way the game ended um narratively |
15961s | like I said I don't think we've ever |
15962s | seen two checked players going |
15965s | head-to-head in top two for the |
15967s | tournament before that was sick but also |
15969s | that it ended on a double header anomaly |
15971s | which is just power spiking every right |
15975s | like you look at a board you're like oh |
15976s | this is huge and then you look at the |
15978s | next person you're like no that person |
15979s | was Tiny this person's huge and you look |
15981s | at the next person you're like I what an |
15983s | idiotic boob I was 10 or 11 seconds ago |
15986s | these people are pathetic this person's |
15988s | going to win the lobby and that's just |
15989s | kind of what double header is like over |
15991s | and over again so I'm happy that we |
15993s | ended the tournament on the highest |
15994s | possible note overall I think yeah it's |
15997s | a it was really cool outcome to see and |
15999s | I just think again I I think I say this |
16001s | every time I cast Lobby Legends cuz it's |
16003s | true I really think the format is great |
16005s | because it just leads us through um |
16008s | these players sort of Journeys towards |
16009s | it obviously there's the group stage |
16011s | which is ruthless but I think forie it |
16013s | in a good way H and then this final day |
16016s | the ups and downs from the players you |
16018s | know just missing out again we saw that |
16020s | um uh that be babit could have actually |
16023s | had the lobby and check a touch earlier |
16025s | if a couple of different scores went a |
16027s | bit more cuz we've seen some very fast |
16029s | uh check moments in previous Lobby |
16030s | Legends yeah but yeah there's definitely |
16032s | um a lot uh to be happy about for this |
16035s | one at least for me um we are going to |
16037s | get up the Caster scores for the end of |
16040s | the day but before we do so do you have |
16042s | a predictions you beat me a lot yes or |
16045s | buy a lot yesterday I would say I think |
16046s | mainly down to the um the bandwagon but |
16050s | I'm just going to ask you how much do |
16051s | you think you're going to beat me for by |
16052s | now I think slightly less than yesterday |
16056s | today because my fantasy team will let |
16058s | me down um and I don't think the |
16059s | bandwagon was as big a beating as it was |
16062s | yesterday but I think I think I won |
16063s | bandwagon I think I won Barrow's |
16065s | blessing um and I think I narrowly lost |
16068s | fantasy team and puzzle box so slight |
16071s | win overall I think is my head Cannon |
16073s | but I'm not I'm not entirely convinced |
16075s | we will we will await official verdict |
16077s | yeah I think we are going to get those |
16078s | scores up in just a second um oh never |
16082s | mind no who cares about us I think we've |
16083s | got G ready for an interview so let's |
16085s | definitely go to that that is way more |
16087s | interesting right now so let's check out |
16088s | the interview and see if gief is ready |
16090s | gief can you hear |
16091s | me |
16093s | hello this isly hello highly F first off |
16100s | congratulations on winning do you just |
16102s | want to tell me how you're feeling and |
16104s | how you were feeling with that last one |
16106s | V one |
16107s | fight dude I was like dude I was |
16110s | actually like giving up bro I was like |
16112s | laughing my ass off like verer and I won |
16114s | cuz cuz before the game verer and and I |
16116s | were like I'm down one and two it |
16119s | and then like dude it actually happened |
16120s | so I was already like like honestly beer |
16124s | and I like as long as one of us wins |
16126s | like like the na streamer group it's |
16129s | it's so exciting but um dude that last |
16132s | match was like something else like so |
16135s | much adrenaline just like poured through |
16137s | me when when my manro just connected I |
16140s | was like holy I |
16143s | won that man Roth H bro oh my |
16148s | okay firstly I we could moderate the |
16150s | language if we could moderate the |
16152s | language a little bit gief that would be |
16154s | okay I'm so sorry I just I |
16159s | noter no it's all good um so honestly |
16163s | speaking of range of emotions how did |
16165s | you feel about playing endless |
16167s | overgrowth anomalies like three in a row |
16169s | was it game because you you actually did |
16172s | pretty well in all of those lobbies |
16174s | right yeah like um in Discord we were |
16177s | like joking as like everg grown Arena |
16180s | grounds but um yeah I I I didn't |
16184s | actually think I'd do that well in them |
16186s | I think it's just because um like I |
16189s | liked staying on tier four so in that |
16193s | anomaly like tripling is kind of or like |
16195s | not tripling but the discovers are kind |
16197s | of fake because they're just going to be |
16199s | worse minions than minions you can just |
16200s | buy so I was like okay with just playing |
16203s | t for strategies the whole time just |
16206s | getting like just just playing strongest |
16208s | board as possible but but only in lobby |
16211s | Legends I can lose with my board States |
16212s | man like I lost with some pretty strong |
16216s | boards but also sometimes my board was |
16218s | just completely |
16220s | trash yeah it seemed like every time we |
16222s | went to your board it was like you had a |
16225s | cleave a Divine Shield torn a LeRoy |
16228s | right like that that was like your whole |
16229s | team in like a lot of those over actual |
16232s | MVP of yeah the actual MVP of ever grown |
16236s | arena is golden selfless I had a golden |
16238s | selfless every single time it's actually |
16240s | amazing because it's buff so it like |
16242s | Trad so many |
16245s | times Al my |
16248s | hand no no no you're good I appreciate I |
16251s | appreciate the effort you've made to get |
16252s | this interview happening at all um but |
16254s | just going back to that final game as |
16255s | well how early did you start pivoting to |
16259s | scam because obviously beater was |
16260s | massive right he had like five teis at |
16262s | one point in that game like how how |
16265s | early were you like okay I have to scam |
16267s | if I'm going to win this game so |
16269s | basically you know I was actually like |
16272s | 60% to Die the first time I faced beater |
16274s | but basically like you can pretty much |
16276s | see if someone's H rolling or not and |
16279s | cuz I have the lobby and check I think |
16281s | from that point in the game I think it's |
16284s | obvious that beer and I are going to one |
16285s | and two like our boards are just so much |
16287s | better than everyone else's so yeah the |
16290s | first time I faced beater actually I |
16292s | just needed to all in like I sold my |
16294s | double teis setup um I just had to play |
16297s | strongest board as possible because if I |
16298s | won that fight if I killed him that |
16300s | fight I've won the game um but then he I |
16304s | think he also had the same thought |
16306s | because like obviously he's like the |
16307s | best player also so he also went all in |
16310s | so like I was actually more likely to |
16312s | die and just get forth |
16317s | uh uh but yeah like that was super |
16322s | crazy yeah and uh just finally before we |
16325s | let you go celebrate are there any just |

16364s | standings as we start to wrap up the day |
16366s | subtle but uh ah Chief what a great |
16369s | interview I just had a great time I was |
16372s | s just listening letting you ask the |
16373s | questions yeah you you know you're going |
16375s | to have a good interview when you have |
16377s | to get the the sensor beep out like |
16379s | three times the first 10 seconds right |
16381s | that's always the sign that are good |
16382s | interviews incoming yeah really really |
16384s | good tournament overall but |
16386s | unfortunately it is the last Lobby |
16388s | Legends of the year but what a way to |
16392s | round it out again huge congratulations |
16394s | to gief and all the players that made it |
16397s | of course so H it was really really good |
16399s | scores overall from all the players I |
16401s | think we can still have time to squeeze |
16403s | in the Caster scores I need to see if I |
16405s | even have any glimmer of hope of beating |
16407s | sutle once before the year is out nope |
16410s | oh not bad though come on not bad pretty |
16413s | good I actually did actually did did win |
16416s | on fantasy team okay oh we actually tied |
16418s | on barov okay I thought I beat you on |
16419s | barov and lost on fantasy team is |
16421s | actually the other way I feel like |
16422s | puzzle box needs to be waited way more |
16426s | uh for me to have any given chance here |
16428s | cuz that 10 extra points come on should |
16430s | be like a 100 points for getting T tier |
16432s | 7 both times that's better yeah let's |
16434s | stick on this screen this looks much |
16436s | more satisfying oh it's an improvement |
16438s | maybe in 2028 I'll have worked my way up |
16442s | enough but I'll take the uh symmetrical |
16444s | score thank you of the uh the old 555 so |
16447s | I'll take that as some kind of Victory |
16449s | but but yeah what a weekend uh and what |
16451s | a tournament |
16453s | are yeah I mean last Lobby Legends of |
16455s | the year I think this was a very fitting |
16457s | way to go out for the year right the way |
16459s | the way it ended with um head-to-head of |
16462s | the two players that had it in check I |
16463s | think gief explained it you know much |
16465s | better than we ever could as the player |
16466s | that was actually involved in it of how |
16468s | that was boiling down but then just from |
16470s | the hype moment of seeing them Clash and |
16471s | then also yeah sure we can end the year |
16474s | with Battlegrounds on a high note for |
16476s | for Americas I think that's fine for na |
16478s | in particular with the two American |
16479s | players going Head to Head tohe it's a |
16481s | great way to finish out the year for |
16482s | Battleground because in two weeks time |
16484s | we're going back to constructed and |
16486s | there's no happy endings for Americas in |
16488s | constructed I can promise you that much |
16491s | yeah again just remember Masters Tour in |
16493s | two weekends time it's not next weekend |
16495s | I think it's the weekend after H so yeah |
16497s | make sure to tune in we'll be there |
16498s | bringing you all the standard |
16500s | constructed action but yeah finally |
