| 0s | at what was levick's Swiss record in the |
|---|---|
| 3s | first three Masters tours of the year |
| 6s | was it a 17-7 b 18 and 6 C 19 and 5 or D |
| 16s | 20 and 4. |
| 18s | [Music] |
| 21s | so I have no idea |
| 24s | um but because Levick Swiss record so he |
| 27s | did make playoffs so I mean obviously it |
| 30s | has to be 17 or better I think |
| 32s | tiebreakers were at 17. did Levick play |
| 35s | tiebreakers tons of people play |
| 36s | tiebreakers |
| 39s | um |
| 42s | I'm gonna have to rush you for an answer |
| 44s | I don't think he played tiebreakers I'm |
| 46s | gonna say I'm gonna say 18 points |
| 49s | it was saying 19 and five across three |
| 52s | Masters tours very very close uh okay |
| 55s | next question |
| 57s | um this is a good one in how many |
| 59s | seasons of the European Grand Masters |
| 61s | did bunny Hopper have a negative win |
| 64s | rate was it a zero B one C two or D3 |
| 72s | so how many seasons did you have |
| 75s | negative win rate zero one two or three |
| 77s | I really get it once right so I must |
| 78s | have had a negative win rate in that one |
| 81s | um what did I do I made players playoffs |
| 87s | relegated |
| 89s | and then there was the one |
| 92s | where I actually had to go on tiebreaker |
| 94s | matches |
| 95s | but that one was like two-tiered they're |
| 98s | they're I think in the first part I did |
| 99s | find and then the second part I went |
| 101s | three and four so I think the answer is |
| 103s | I added two I went negative and two of |
| 106s | them I think too too harsh on yourself |
| 108s | bunny the answer was B1 it was only one |
| 111s | season you went negative overall |
| 113s | apparently overall I think but there's |
| 116s | like this there was this thing where we |
| 118s | and we had two tiers where we went first |
| 120s | and upper and lower Division and then I |
| 122s | think in the second part where I got |
| 124s | into the lower Division and the upper |
| 126s | division there I was negative that part |
| 128s | of the season but the overall season I |
| 129s | was positive anyway you can find you can |
| 132s | file any complaints over to Lorinda for |
| 135s | any of these questions or answers anyway |
| 136s | moving on next question how many matches |
| 140s | did dead draw win in Masters tours in |
| 143s | 2019 and 2020 combined |
| 148s | 52 |
| 150s | 55 |
| 151s | 58 or 61. |
| 158s | um |
| 158s | well obviously no idea uh |
| 163s | he didn't so what was it 2020 in 2021 |
| 166s | right that's what they like 2019 and |
| 169s | 2020. oh 2019 and 20. it was the the |
| 173s | salt of the years he did well and missed |
| 175s | right yeah but we also had that was also |
| 177s | the years where we applied best of three |
| 179s | Specialists with 10 rounds per |
| 182s | tournament so that's not actually |
| 184s | directly it doesn't matter bunny the |
| 187s | format doesn't matter yeah yeah but it's |
| 189s | like likely it's more likely you get |
| 191s | more wins then it just makes more sense |
| 192s | I'm gonna say 58. it's actually 58 yeah |
| 196s | c58 congratulations that was a good |
| 198s | answer I would not have guessed that |
| 199s | myself I didn't already know okay well |
| 201s | that's one point for you so far bunny |
| 203s | the next question which player had the |
| 206s | highest all-time win percentage in APAC |
| 210s | Grand Masters was it Mighty surrender |
| 214s | possessy Or Glory |
| 217s | foreign |
| 220s | Masters the highest all-time win |
| 224s | percentage |
| 225s | like |
| 228s | including playoffs and everything just |
| 230s | everything I've read the question yeah |
| 233s | yeah okay I understand it's just me it's |
| 237s | so funny if it's mighty |
| 239s | but I'm just not gonna believe that one |
| 242s | um wow shade Throne I mean we have two |
| 246s | world champions there and surrender |
| 249s | um like that's not disrespect of my team |
| 251s | but comparing yourself to Two World |
| 253s | Champs and surrender |
| 256s | [Music] |
| 256s | um |
| 259s | I'm just going to say it's the rent |
| 260s | because he used to own he used to own so |
| 263s | hard the first three seasons of GM he |
| 265s | just stomped everybody it made him look |
| 268s | like complete Noobs I'm gonna say |
| 270s | surrender |
| 271s | I agree with you as that those |
| 274s | statements are true but it's actually |
| 276s | Mighty because it's win rate and those |
| 278s | three players have played a lot of GM |
| 279s | matches Mighty went 11 and 4 I believe |
| 283s | for a 73 win rate so because it was when |
| 287s | percentages are not games played that's |
| 289s | where that one falls down just a little |
| 291s | bit and finally funny and for the last |
| 294s | question what is possesses match win |
| 297s | rate in Masters tours |
| 301s | 57.2 percent |
| 304s | 59.2 |
| 307s | 61.2 or 63.2 percent |
| 313s | hmm |
| 315s | [Music] |
| 319s | and again it was just match win rate in |
| 322s | Masters tours full stop yeah like all |
| 325s | the time |
| 326s | um |
| 328s | and some |
| 330s | this win rate isn't like I think it's |
| 333s | like not under the top top uh masses to |
| 336s | win rate players |
| 337s | but |
| 340s | I'm just gonna say 59 because I think |
| 345s | it |
| 346s | seems seems reasonable I know the top |
| 349s | top performers |
| 351s | um were XC and Lee |
| 354s | um but yeah that is completely |
| 356s | irrelevant to this question okay well |
| 359s | the correct answer is actually |
| 361s | 61.2 without I believe a 93 to 59 uh |
| 366s | winter loss so um uh really impressive |
| 369s | uh score over the overall for possessive |
| 372s | uh Bunny Hop unfortunately got one |
| 373s | question right but honestly these |
| 376s | questions were really hard so regardless |
| 379s | uh thanks a lot for your time and I wish |
| 380s | you best luck at Worlds thank you |

| 562s | [Music] |
| 584s | foreign |
| 585s | [Music] |
| 592s | and welcome back we are at that point |
| 595s | subtle where it's the last match not |
| 597s | only of the day but of the group stage |
| 599s | overall final match of Group D we're |
| 602s | going to find out who's going to be the |
| 603s | last player to join us for tomorrow the |
| 606s | last and final day of the Hearthstone |
| 608s | World Championship is it going to be |
| 610s | xiaobai or is it going to be bunny |
| 612s | Hopper two players who honestly neither |
| 614s | of them would look out of place in the |
| 617s | top cut subtle at all but who do you |
| 619s | think is looking favored here oh it's |
| 622s | it's a very good question it's of course |
| 625s | the question that you are going to ask |
| 627s | but it still was not prepared regardless |
| 630s | a very good question |
| 633s | um you know you asked me very similar |
| 634s | earlier and I went off on a long |
| 635s | diatribe about how awesome bunny Hopper |
| 637s | is |
| 639s | um that still all stands and I would |
| 641s | like to give you the answer bunny Hopper |
| 643s | we also explain that we are both |
| 645s | extraordinarily biased towards bunny |
| 647s | Hopper however |
| 649s | Diablo's lineup has been doing stuff you |
| 651s | know like it actually has felt like the |
| 654s | alignment Druid has been putting in work |
| 656s | it's even picking up their ban in this |
| 658s | series now from bunny |
| 660s | um it just seems to have kind of found |
| 661s | the the glitch in The Matrix with just |
| 664s | these few little tweaks and changes he |
| 666s | has from what seemed to be a fairly |
| 668s | standard lineup yesterday |
| 670s | um so I it's very very close and only to |
| 674s | avoid saying it's too close to call when |
| 676s | sitting on the fence which as we all |
| 678s | know I hate I'm gonna say xiaobai is |
| 680s | going to take it okay well I can't |
| 682s | believe you've uh |
| 684s | you know um uh what's the word I'm |
| 686s | looking for I can't believe you become a |
| 688s | traitor to bunny Hopper here I'm just |
| 690s | gonna go against you and say bunny hop |
| 691s | is gonna take it it wants me to take a |
| 693s | look at this Excel ping Mage a little |
| 695s | bit different from the version we saw |
| 696s | from Levick earlier on levica much more |
| 698s | slimmed down sort of straightforward |
| 700s | list and but this is an interesting one |
| 702s | this is one I played the most when we |
| 704s | were preparing |
| 705s | um with those like double Mass polymorph |
| 707s | in there as the main things and then of |
| 709s | course the Rune of the archmage for just |
| 711s | uh you know those types of games where |
| 713s | you just need something to happen and um |
| 716s | yeah I do think it's an interesting list |
| 718s | a little bit slower like I said a little |
| 720s | bit lesser consistent as far as I was |
| 722s | concerned but one that can definitely |
| 724s | get some work done uh just important to |
| 727s | point out though that it does not have |
| 729s | some of the uh oh okay it does have some |
| 731s | direct like Unstoppable removal but it's |
| 735s | much later in the form of that mass |
| 736s | polymorph versus the um the options |
| 739s | Levick had that we saw play out earlier |
| 742s | yeah a little bit to I mean in the gift |
| 745s | Levick had played the game that we |
| 747s | watched there sorry if bunny had played |
| 749s | the game that we watched and the mass |
| 750s | probably morph would have been too slow |
| 752s | for the timing of uh the shattering |
| 755s | Blast coming down that we saw in that |
| 756s | instance so yeah |
| 759s | um very different animal but obviously |
| 762s | as soon as you get one Mass polymorph uh |
| 764s | polymorph cast sorry I was a polymorph |
| 767s | cost whatever those sounds would be uh |
| 770s | you then get to repeat that with gray |
| 771s | Sage parrot which is something that you |
| 773s | don't get to do with shattering blaster |
| 774s | in terms of like long time sustained |
| 777s | removal |
| 778s | um this deck might be able to go longer |
| 779s | in terms of denying boards being made |
| 782s | um but isn't able to answer the |
| 784s | incredibly fast pop-offs as an exchange |
| 786s | and also just add on top of that even |
| 787s | before the volume off there's the |
| 788s | blizzard that you can put in the parrot |
| 790s | as well right so like that still it |
| 792s | doesn't do the same job but it stalls |
| 794s | out a priest right which is what pretty |
| 795s | much you want to do what did you do with |
| 797s | your weekend I put a blizzard in a |
| 799s | parrot sorry what a police there's |
| 802s | there's a very strange person I thought |
| 804s | those weird noises you were making |
| 805s | before was just the magic phrase you |
| 807s | have to do to make that happen yeah hang |
| 810s | it backwards |
| 812s | um |
| 813s | forbidden incantation that puts the |
| 816s | blizzard in the parrot how dare you |
| 819s | so am I going to be on of course the |
| 822s | boom priest and we saw this get |
| 823s | destroyed earlier versus Levick which is |
| 825s | what we were talking about with the uh |
| 827s | and the early removal that Levick ran |
| 830s | but still extremely powerful list and I |
| 832s | think that's been one of the interesting |
| 835s | things about this tournament so far is |
| 837s | because there is almost like a Triforce |
| 840s | of strong decks right now especially in |
| 843s | this specific tournament it's really |
| 845s | interesting to seeing where the bands go |
| 846s | right because for me it's like oh do I |
| 848s | ban Demon Hunter or Boone priest well |
| 851s | they're both extremely strong and it |
| 854s | really does rely on what that fourth |
| 856s | deck is which leads you to where your |
| 858s | band goes |
| 859s | yeah absolutely |
| 861s | um but this is the matchup that I think |
| 863s | we would have been looking to see I |
| 865s | think it's the most interesting matchup |
| 867s | to test based on the different Dynamics |
| 869s | between the decks right because that |
| 871s | consistent blizzard and mass polymorph |
| 873s | stuff we were just talking about versus |
| 874s | the speed of the shattering blast that |
| 876s | we saw from levik this is the exact |
| 878s | matchup that's really going to make that |
| 880s | tell so I'm kind of pleased this is the |
| 881s | one that we're going into |
| 883s | we're getting into it game number one |
| 885s | again just to remind you in case you're |
| 886s | joining us quite late into the day uh |
| 889s | the winner will move on to tomorrow and |
| 891s | the loser out of these two is just done |
| 893s | obviously had a fantastic effort to get |
| 895s | this far but uh it will be the end of |
| 897s | the day for one of these players and |
| 900s | Bunny Hop is starting off with that |
| 901s | wildfire in hand Knight clock sanctum |
| 903s | and frost weaved engineer I don't hate a |
| 906s | full keep Soul even off coin |
| 909s | yeah definitely reasonable again made |
| 913s | more so by the fact that bunny doesn't |
| 914s | really have as many of those |
| 916s | game-winning options to just you know |
| 918s | hard Mulligan for in the early games not |
| 919s | like you can just look for uh Lorry |
| 922s | shattering blast and win the game off |
| 924s | that |
| 927s | Wildfire back anyway decided to say well |
| 930s | you know what yes I wouldn't have |
| 932s | anything necessarily to do on one but he |
| 934s | would just rather have the different |
| 936s | card right obviously ended up with a |
| 938s | wildfire anyway but still the thought |
| 940s | yeah the wildfires seem the most likely |
| 942s | Mulligan to me I think I found the |
| 944s | location a little bit more surprising to |
| 947s | throw away I wouldn't sit down and argue |
| 949s | about it but it seems that you know yes |
| 953s | the location will you can replace it and |
| 955s | draw one more card but it feels like |
| 957s | just I suppose there's a reasonable |
| 959s | summation having a location on the board |
| 962s | will buy you an extra card or two's |
| 964s | worth of time while you freeze Minions |
| 965s | on the board you know yeah I wonder if |
| 967s | because of the frost Swift engineer of |
| 969s | course you end up with like two freeze |
| 970s | minions which is very strong true yeah I |
| 973s | I do wonder if bunny just did not want |
| 975s | to Stack threes right and just say well |
| 978s | first weave is my turn three by that |
| 980s | point I will have turn four options uh |
| 984s | but on the other side |
| 986s | Switcheroo and all already double |
| 988s | handmaiden with coin yeah |
| 991s | uh he's set up to draw his deck |
| 994s | basically at this point yep these are |
| 997s | indeed some resources still of course |
| 1001s | gonna need to get towards that raiding |
| 1002s | Elemental sooner rather than later but |
| 1004s | that's the power of specifically |
| 1006s | Switcheroo out of all these card draw |
| 1007s | options if it was just handmaidens then |
| 1009s | we can talk about the position of the |
| 1010s | radiance in the deck but when you have a |
| 1012s | Switcheroo on top of that as well |
| 1014s | and because of double handmaiden is this |
| 1017s | ever relevant for xiaobai to coin out |
| 1019s | the switcheroo here or do you think you |
| 1021s | can just end up doing that next turn or |
| 1022s | you know the turn after anyway I don't |
| 1024s | think so no because there's three of |
| 1026s | them right you have two handmaidens and |
| 1028s | a Switcheroo that you want to cast so |
| 1029s | it's not like you know it's not like |
| 1030s | you're gonna have three Mana three turns |
| 1032s | in a row by coining one of them out now |
| 1033s | right like I think you have plenty of |
| 1035s | time just to be able to curve through |
| 1036s | this |
| 1037s | um and look towards the sort of turn six |
| 1039s | ish pop off depending on how these |
| 1041s | things go |
| 1042s | everybody got the icicles on board as |
| 1044s | well so so good as good as it was going |
| 1046s | to get for him although I say that true |
| 1049s | death bond which is probably the low |
| 1051s | roll in the freeze spells right yes |
| 1055s | yeah you would think so |
| 1057s | it'll be a little careful uh with these |
| 1059s | freeze minions as well you know you |
| 1060s | talked about them in terms of an upside |
| 1063s | but there is of course the potential |
| 1065s | downside of Shadowood devour coming out |
| 1067s | from the opponent and just suddenly all |
| 1069s | you did was summon two extra Minions |
| 1071s | that gave one of your opponents minions |
| 1072s | two extra health because you best |
| 1074s | believe they didn't pay any Mana for |
| 1075s | that shadow word devour when they cast |
| 1077s | it |
| 1081s | ever fine as well because for me if |
| 1083s | there's like the two cards you want in |
| 1085s | your hand yup |
| 1088s | is going to be the uh the Double |
| 1090s | handmaiden right because xiaobai will |
| 1093s | never have to worry about procking these |
| 1094s | at all |
| 1096s | uh this is how you know you've reached |
| 1099s | bunny Hopper levels of gameplay yeah oh |
| 1101s | cool I I got the things wait I don't |
| 1104s | want the things yeah so just covering |
| 1107s | all the stuff that's really confusing |
| 1109s | that turn uh didn't attack with anything |
| 1112s | except that single one one because he |
| 1115s | only wants the priest to be injured by |
| 1117s | three any more than that you give them |
| 1119s | the option to draw cards uh with gifted |
| 1121s | the naaru pinging the own one one for |
| 1123s | the reason I just brought up having |
| 1125s | individual small wide minions across the |
| 1127s | board is just food for your opponent |
| 1129s | Shadowood devour which then makes their |
| 1131s | minions bigger and bigger minions are |
| 1133s | not only harder to clear they also turn |
| 1136s | into more damage going face when they |
| 1138s | then get blessed so they can threaten |
| 1140s | lethal by having more Health as well |
| 1142s | foreign |
| 1153s | [Music] |
| 1163s | and then looks like he picked up triple |
| 1166s | spell so was able to drop the fortitude |
| 1177s | nice as well with the wig going on the |
| 1178s | handmade and it means the the although a |
| 1181s | trade pink is available that's two Mana |
| 1183s | from bunny Hopper and also the trade |
| 1185s | ping going into not the radiant |
| 1188s | Elemental which I think is actually |
| 1192s | and if that if something does go into |
| 1194s | the elemental it means that the 404 |
| 1195s | might be able to stick around |
| 1201s | yeah I think the best way to think about |
| 1204s | playing uh bless priest boom priest |
| 1206s | whatever you want to call it is that you |
| 1209s | want to start the turn with a live |
| 1211s | attacking minion on the board right so |
| 1214s | you don't care too much I mean you care |
| 1217s | but you don't care too much whether it's |
| 1218s | the raiding Elemental or the handmade in |
| 1220s | here so make both of them annoying to |
| 1223s | kill don't just let one of them die to |
| 1224s | for free and then you know location |
| 1226s | freeze can deal with the other one and |
| 1228s | then you suddenly you just don't have |
| 1229s | anything to use as a base |
| 1236s | foreign |
| 1240s | there wasn't much there especially that |
| 1242s | deathborne drawer right and it was not |
| 1245s | looking too great this though subtle is |
| 1247s | looking uh quite okay Cold Case got |
| 1251s | double nightclub sanctum next turn |
| 1257s | yeah these minions are about to get big |
| 1259s | though they are I think the oh |
| 1263s | if Bonnie gets hold of a polymorph |
| 1266s | though song well one's on the bottom of |
| 1268s | the deck we know that for sure it just |
| 1271s | could be huge right because |
| 1273s | no they're about to be huge if he gets |
| 1275s | the polymorph it'll be small |
| 1279s | you know what I mean |
| 1287s | oh what a hand as well that's you know |
| 1290s | what you know I asked you about some |
| 1291s | well uh either earlier today or |
| 1293s | yesterday it's all kind of holding into |
| 1295s | one right now |
| 1296s | um yeah I think it's because of turns |
| 1298s | like this where you just look at the |
| 1299s | hand and go where do I even start |
| 1301s | because you have to keep in mind so many |
| 1304s | different things once look you can see |
| 1306s | okay get those spells out of the hand |
| 1308s | fine but then some will cost more do I |
| 1310s | want to play some well if I play some |
| 1312s | well now you know do I want this many |
| 1314s | spells there's many things that many |
| 1315s | things like not that job I did anything |
| 1317s | with it this turn but just the fact that |
| 1319s | it offers you like the ever branching |
| 1321s | paths but every single card you play it |
| 1324s | gets so tricky but it's quite powerful |
| 1326s | but definitely difficult to manage |
| 1330s | foreign |
| 1334s | going at least one sanctum here I was |
| 1336s | wondering whether it was ever worth |
| 1337s | double trading skeletons first just to |
| 1341s | see if you hit like a one in 16 to kill |
| 1343s | the 4-4 and whether that would then |
| 1345s | change your mind on what you're doing if |
| 1346s | anything |
| 1347s | but it seems not |
| 1351s | sure it does change anything even if |
| 1354s | that outcome does happen |
| 1359s | well here it is the first live attacking |
| 1362s | minion of the game |
| 1364s | foreign |
| 1367s | [Music] |
| 1373s | would be removing from the board |
| 1380s | I think it's getting cycled though yeah |
| 1383s | yeah I agree with this |
| 1391s | can get a drawer off the gift but only |
| 1394s | after attacking |
| 1403s | oh that's not true theoretically if you |
| 1405s | double devour there's a good chance that |
| 1407s | you can then draw off gift after that |
| 1409s | right kill all the skeletons let the |
| 1410s | death rattles go off |
| 1419s | oh here we go |
| 1423s | uh |
| 1425s | are those super imp Alibi just because |
| 1428s | it's cheap and you know might stop a |
| 1431s | mode rash hitting you for 10 you know |
| 1434s | ah just drops the gift in the end just |
| 1436s | to make the hand space interesting |
| 1441s | it's all the hand as well so knows |
| 1443s | essentially that his board isn't |
| 1445s | actually under threat which I think was |
| 1446s | the defining Factor on why he just chose |
| 1449s | to pass it out there knew he didn't |
| 1450s | really have to do any more because he |
| 1451s | got the information he needed from the |
| 1453s | The Scouting party from Identity Theft |
| 1455s | question for now |
| 1459s | it was bunny up on and get an alibi in |
| 1461s | there before Dawn grass or is this just |
| 1463s | don't grasp and go I think is Alibi |
| 1466s | though the turn is pretty rough yeah if |
| 1469s | it's Alibi that is the turn we're done |
| 1471s | let's do a trade and Reckless right |
| 1474s | would you ever consider trade recklessly |
| 1478s | clear the three two an absolute bare |
| 1481s | minimum okay |
| 1483s | I don't hate it what else are you doing |
| 1484s | with that Reckless right like well yes |
| 1487s | you know in the dream world where you're |
| 1489s | winning this game you are going to be |
| 1490s | Barden for a few turns |
| 1493s | um so maybe The Reckless Apprentice can |
| 1495s | make some magic happen at the very very |
| 1496s | least uh it causes your opponent to at |
| 1499s | least have another factor to think about |
| 1501s | because they know you have the reckless |
| 1502s | in hand and they know that that hero |
| 1504s | power gets very complicated when you |
| 1505s | have the The Reckless in hand |
| 1509s | [Music] |
| 1510s | might just confuse your opponent to the |
| 1512s | point where their brain explodes |
| 1514s | when he didn't go for the dream |
| 1523s | another identity theft |
| 1526s | oh and there's still just for leash in |
| 1528s | hand |
| 1529s | Switcheroo does nothing just dumping it |
| 1531s | from the hand to make room for the ID |
| 1532s | theft |
| 1533s | Al gets the much worse news that there |
| 1536s | is an answer coming eventually in the |
| 1537s | form of the Rune of the archmage |
| 1539s | potentially |
| 1542s | oh it's an answer Raven |
| 1544s | maybe it's an answer to a question no |
| 1546s | one's asking that's the problem yeah |
| 1549s | if a rune of the archmage asks a |
| 1550s | question in the woods that no one |
| 1552s | answers |
| 1555s | does anyone care yes |
| 1566s | Oh by now has like that again that once |
| 1569s | again weird turn where because of The |
| 1571s | Alibi obviously hitting face does almost |
| 1574s | nothing |
| 1576s | you also can't clear off these skeletons |
| 1578s | in a reasonable manner either which has |
| 1580s | got to be a little bit frustrating |
| 1586s | decisive that uh yeah it's one of those |
| 1589s | turns where I don't want to say none of |
| 1592s | it really mattered |
| 1595s | it felt like none of it really mattered |
| 1600s | in terms of the traits |
| 1605s | got to be Magister right |
| 1610s | yep |
| 1615s | Bend The Manor now |
| 1620s | hey not that phone Cold Case instead |
| 1635s | that's what never got cast did it didn't |
| 1637s | it just get shuffled back into the deck |
| 1638s | with Finley oh sorry yeah yeah yeah of |
| 1641s | course of course I'm being stupid yeah |
| 1643s | and so many skeletons I just assume |
| 1646s | death bomb was cast yeah |
| 1647s | yeah |
| 1648s | um losing track a little bit of where |
| 1650s | each of these cards in jail by his hand |
| 1651s | came from but I believe it was The |
| 1653s | Reckless Apprentice that was picked off |
| 1654s | ID theft over the deathborne is that |
| 1656s | correct but how because the Reckless |
| 1659s | Apprentice wasn't the card in the hand |
| 1661s | at the time that the ID Cliff was used |
| 1664s | I was just kind of |
| 1666s | interested at the time because again |
| 1668s | Jabba has so much information here and |
| 1670s | apologies this is a lot to keep track of |
| 1672s | but like he played the ID theft he then |
| 1675s | sees that there is the Magister Dawn |
| 1677s | grasp in his opponent's hand so he knows |
| 1679s | that's getting played and summoning |
| 1681s | presumably Cold Case skeletons there's |
| 1684s | two locations on the board that are |
| 1685s | summoning skeletons and he chose not to |
| 1688s | take a deathborn which is you know |
| 1690s | essentially a full board swing and back |
| 1692s | the other way to create potentially |
| 1694s | large amount of damage it's remember |
| 1696s | Perpetual Flame the deck so I do |
| 1698s | remember Perpetual flame in the deck yes |
| 1701s | good pickup actually it's going to |
| 1703s | overload xiaobai but the shop I care |
| 1706s | like overload's a very loose thing in |
| 1709s | this priest because you don't really |
| 1710s | spend much manner anyway less right yep |
| 1712s | just wants to go fishing for the Bliss |
| 1714s | takes the bless |
| 1715s | shoots the minions and now unless |
| 1718s | something magical happens I mean bunny |
| 1719s | might choose to stretch it out with one |
| 1721s | more solid Alibi but we are approaching |
| 1724s | roon of the archmage country very |
| 1726s | rapidly when he's calling in the clouds |
| 1730s | send in the clowns |
| 1734s | is that two days in a row you've talked |
| 1737s | about singing to me on stream I don't |
| 1739s | talk about singing yeah that was |
| 1741s | actually singing well debatable |
| 1743s | depending on well attempting singing |
| 1746s | that stream other thing yeah |
| 1751s | hey well there is Father extra freeze |
| 1757s | could choose to Alibi instead because |
| 1760s | Varden is only ever going to freeze more |
| 1763s | right or the same |
| 1768s | on the other side of that bunny just has |
| 1770s | four mana and is more likely to have two |
| 1773s | men are knocking around than four On Any |
| 1774s | Given turn yeah |
| 1783s | yeah probably I was wondering when it |
| 1787s | gets used but they're really aren't too |
| 1790s | many more minion boards that you are |
| 1792s | generating this game right so I feel |
| 1794s | like so the forest for a couple of tutus |
| 1795s | is about as good as it's gonna get I |
| 1797s | think he's just sat working out what |
| 1799s | exactly the leash lets him do this turn |
| 1801s | as well I think that's worth just a |
| 1803s | quick glance uh just in case |
| 1806s | oh yeah I do agree I think it's just |
| 1808s | below the forest yeah nothing right if |
| 1811s | you had two zero Mana spells and a and |
| 1816s | the volition you could like zero zero |
| 1818s | velish Dawn grasp or something like that |
| 1820s | yeah yeah |
| 1829s | all right we're back here again |
| 1831s | waiting room okay the clowns have been |
| 1834s | summoned |
| 1837s | Ace that's believe it or not the good |
| 1840s | outcome oh |
| 1843s | oh oh |
| 1849s | is that it that's it okay I think I |
| 1852s | think if you're jail by you probably |
| 1854s | take those |
| 1857s | if I do test for the Trap and then die |
| 1867s | well |
| 1879s | okay |
| 1895s | [Applause] |
| 1898s | it doesn't really make that much |
| 1900s | difference it's still there it's still a |
| 1903s | very large problem |
| 1908s | wait wait wait oh no no no no no need |
| 1911s | silence right yep I was traded back into |
| 1915s | the deck I realize it's not a spell |
| 1918s | school is it |
| 1920s | shot yeah don't think so I was just |
| 1924s | thinking Don grass bro |
| 1929s | god of the nauru oh no it is Holy yeah |
| 1932s | oh all right okay |
| 1935s | but it hasn't again it hasn't been cast |
| 1936s | right it's just been used as a tradable |
| 1938s | that's what I mean so like I was just |
| 1939s | working out if he gets it and then can |
| 1941s | you know |
| 1942s | maybe if he needs a second one after the |
| 1944s | Rune of the art Mage I'm just trying to |
| 1945s | think of what Dawn grasp could play for |
| 1948s | xiaobai going forward |
| 1951s | it's going to be useful of course |
| 1958s | take it down right yeah |
| 1964s | I'll show what it's up to oh |
| 1966s | yeah |
| 1968s | [Music] |
| 1971s | now the Trent is gonna be able to kill |
| 1972s | the 18-2 is it that's a good trade right |
| 1976s | there a job tree |
| 1982s | and the mate first |
| 1987s | xiaobai looks extremely frustrated with |
| 1991s | the way this game has ended up |
| 1998s | we've seen this though time and time |
| 2001s | again right this matchup |
| 2003s | I the priest makes the big minions but |
| 2006s | it never really just stops there does it |
| 2008s | okay like the Mage seems to just always |
| 2010s | create multiple layers of problems and |
| 2013s | stalls and then suddenly the priest just |
| 2015s | takes a lot of damage of course this |
| 2016s | ventral Visage was a little bit of a |
| 2018s | different way and we see it this way |
| 2020s | that well but a lot of the time like |
| 2022s | Mage has so much game in just stalling |
| 2025s | these minions out |
| 2026s | Frost |
| 2035s | Sunset fire |
| 2038s | and by our powers combined we are |
| 2041s | Captain Planet uh both me and Saul |
| 2044s | showing our age |
| 2047s | since I imagine I'll take a random guess |
| 2049s | that the majority of uh people watching |
| 2052s | have not seen Captain Planet yeah I |
| 2055s | don't think Americans have Captain |
| 2056s | Planet either maybe I'm wrong but like |
| 2059s | they they always talk about like I think |
| 2061s | it is but I don't think like I was so |
| 2064s | bad |
| 2065s | we don't even want it I'm not saying it |
| 2067s | doesn't exist there but I think like in |
| 2069s | the UK when there's like a go when if |
| 2071s | you're after like name like a go-to |
| 2072s | mascot for like you know teaching kids |
| 2074s | about recycling or whatever we go to |
| 2076s | Captain Planet whereas they just have |
| 2077s | like random bears in top hats and things |
| 2080s | that were at summer camps that everyone |
| 2081s | went to you know yeah I'm recyclono |
| 2086s | I don't know why a bear would be called |
| 2089s | recyclonal but clone bear apparently or |
| 2093s | just some kind of cyborg bear Maybe |
| 2096s | well meanwhile as we were talking about |
| 2099s | clearly infinitely more important things |
| 2101s | uh bunny has put his opponent to one |
| 2104s | and so I was like okay we're both |
| 2107s | playing this game are we |
| 2109s | box go |
| 2122s | played around it mate yep yep okay |
| 2127s | so we've actually played around |
| 2131s | on ironically played around solid Alibi |
| 2135s | from roon of the archmage |
| 2137s | wow |
| 2138s | what a game one for this series subtle |
| 2142s | bunny Hopper the ghost |
| 2144s | himself or buddy up at the chair the |
| 2147s | real player in this Duo it's like a |
| 2149s | Ratatouille style where the chair's |
| 2151s | really controlling bunny |
| 2153s | is the Victor in game one but plenty |
| 2156s | more where that came from and yet again |
| 2158s | yeah it's easy to say now like oh yeah |
| 2160s | you know said Mage was looking good for |
| 2162s | this tournament but we've seen this just |
| 2164s | this one match up really be a pain for |
| 2167s | priest at least from what I've you know |
| 2168s | been watching on stream so I wonder if |
| 2171s | that's going to continue into tomorrow |
| 2172s | because if you know the Mage players are |
| 2175s | probably going to line up against |
| 2176s | priests at some point so we'll have to |
| 2177s | see how it goes yeah it seems that you |
| 2180s | know |
| 2181s | you can have various different choices |
| 2183s | of the way you're building the deck but |
| 2185s | after a while whether it's the |
| 2186s | shattering blast whether it's blizzards |
| 2188s | whether it's Mass polymorph whether it's |
| 2189s | just recurring freezes from locations |
| 2192s | then you'd pick up savara and whichever |
| 2195s | combination of those you've used have |
| 2196s | just gone back in the savara and you're |
| 2198s | doing it again like you can stall for so |
| 2200s | long with the deck throw in the solid |
| 2202s | Alibis as well that you only have to |
| 2204s | find one scam once and you have 10 11 |
| 2207s | turns to be able to do it all the time |
| 2209s | you know like it's it's it the maze just |
| 2211s | seems to be getting there very very |
| 2213s | consistent and I think the important |
| 2214s | part as well is the things the Mage |
| 2217s | needs to hit |
| 2218s | don't care about what the Minions look |
| 2221s | like right because like it say you've |
| 2224s | got 10 12 turns you'd think well hang on |
| 2225s | doesn't the priest just draw their deck |
| 2227s | and then win well no because them |
| 2229s | drawing their deck doesn't often affect |
| 2231s | the outcome the Mage needs right when we |
| 2233s | talk about the likes of mass polymorph |
| 2236s | uh freezing them out anything like that |
| 2238s | well they can be a hundred hundreds or |
| 2240s | one ones what Mage does it still gonna |
| 2244s | work so even just letting the pre-stroke |
| 2246s | we saw shall but I have tons of options |
| 2248s | but we couldn't really progress the game |
| 2251s | that well after being frozen out so |
| 2253s | tough game one there we are going to |
| 2254s | jump over to bunny on his Demon Hunter |
| 2256s | and I believe sort of shall buys |
| 2259s | sticking to the priest |
| 2261s | and we are on Fell Demon Hunter one of |
| 2264s | watch of course uh bunny hopper one |
| 2268s | control site and playing double Highmark |
| 2271s | instead still just one Viper uh double |
| 2274s | need for greed as well double kale |
| 2275s | strike in terms of the cards that |
| 2277s | sometimes a little bit flexible and none |
| 2280s | of this Tech with the enchanter |
| 2282s | um and I guess we can't quite fit levix |
| 2285s | build into that same algorithm right |
| 2287s | because he's a good three or four cards |
| 2289s | off everyone else but still a little bit |
| 2291s | of variation I'd be happy to know I've |
| 2293s | been working on my quest to find the one |
| 2296s | the one one of |
| 2298s | I tried the tutu that an outcast reduces |
| 2302s | your Outcast your left and right card by |
| 2304s | one |
| 2305s | it sucks let's uh they're off the list |
| 2309s | one down however many cards there are |
| 2311s | I'm allowed to put in a demon on the |
| 2312s | deck to go |
| 2315s | try chilling Yeti that was pretty |
| 2318s | terrible uh Ken bloodhoof nope that |
| 2320s | wasn't really cutting the muscle oh I'd |
| 2321s | look to do you remember like I literally |
| 2324s | said Ken because of Raven can happen yes |
| 2327s | yes |
| 2328s | the best hunter deck in existence in |
| 2332s | history at least |
| 2336s | I've actually had the longest win streak |
| 2338s | Hunter deck in the world sorry actually |
| 2340s | I just realized we're at the world |
| 2341s | championship so in honor of 2014 |
| 2343s | Hearthstone world champion |
| 2350s | in a relic Vault and a relic of |
| 2352s | Dimensions I feel like we've said this |
| 2355s | phrase a few times but bunny Hopper's |
| 2357s | got what he needs to get the job done at |
| 2360s | least initially |
| 2363s | yeah this lines up fairly well you would |
| 2366s | imagine uh you can go for the sigil uh |
| 2370s | onto on turn four so you can sell the |
| 2373s | signal on three and then if things go |
| 2375s | favorably for you you can actually get a |
| 2376s | quest step done on turn four going into |
| 2379s | that turn five and then have a whole |
| 2380s | brand new fresh Quest step that you're |
| 2382s | guaranteed to complete with that |
| 2383s | relative dimensions |
| 2387s | and is the plan here for the boom priest |
| 2390s | really just to do what they want to do |
| 2392s | most games just try and pop off and hope |
| 2395s | the Demon Hunter doesn't have an answer |
| 2396s | is there something the priest actually |
| 2398s | needs to do against specifically Demon |
| 2401s | Hunter to stop them uh location on |
| 2404s | cooldown is the big one to watch out for |
| 2405s | I think so yes it is as big as you can |
| 2408s | as early as you can but it's it's |
| 2411s | improved greatly if you do it on the |
| 2413s | cooldown turn for their location because |
| 2415s | that massively reduces the amount of |
| 2417s | damage that they can do to you with |
| 2418s | relic of Extinction |
| 2425s | actually tough |
| 2430s | like it could be as simple as digital |
| 2433s | pass take the guaranteed Quest proc next |
| 2436s | term with what you have |
| 2438s | but this is again the Eternal debate |
| 2440s | right is it worth drawing less cards |
| 2444s | over the course of two turns to have |
| 2446s | some discounted cards |
| 2449s | any would argue no |
| 2454s | yeah something we've talked about a lot |
| 2456s | right where it's sometimes you can like |
| 2459s | be over fancy right and it's like would |
| 2462s | you just just do stuff right we always |
| 2465s | go back to Hearthstone Basics right |
| 2467s | every you know x amount of months it's |
| 2469s | like well I know we could do this fancy |
| 2471s | stuff but what if we just spent our |
| 2472s | manner what if we just drew the cards |
| 2475s | now |
| 2479s | it would still like ideally one card |
| 2482s | draw card yeah |
| 2483s | on this turn doesn't get it as it stands |
| 2489s | so now bunny needs to decide whether |
| 2490s | this is worth going for because now |
| 2492s | there's a further decision trade away |
| 2493s | the guild Trader take the whatever odds |
| 2495s | that you're going to get a card draw |
| 2496s | card to be able to complete the quest |
| 2497s | get a discount on a couple of very very |
| 2500s | friendly discountable cards but he does |
| 2503s | go for that and whiffs however this now |
| 2505s | means he has a chance of not having |
| 2508s | spell damage in his hand after he goes |
| 2511s | location relic of Dimensions next turn |
| 2513s | which he would presume is the turn that |
| 2516s | gelby will make the massive board |
| 2518s | because bunny Hopper has played this |
| 2520s | matchup before and Bunny Hopper will |
| 2522s | assume that xiaobai has played this |
| 2523s | matchup before |
| 2524s | glad they're not playing versus me |
| 2526s | because that is a great assumption right |
| 2528s | there |
| 2529s | um the my question here is are you |
| 2532s | tempted to dump the extinction or is it |
| 2535s | just too valuable in this matchup no |
| 2538s | okay oh nobody induction's reductions |
| 2542s | reductions though so I'm gonna get that |
| 2544s | discount remember we're bargaining no no |
| 2546s | no no no in this matchup you're playing |
| 2549s | The Relic of Dimensions to juice your |
| 2551s | relic of Extinction that's how it works |
| 2558s | look at the hand uh for Xiao by about |
| 2560s | 800 cards and about four manners total |
| 2563s | worth of spend going on right now if |
| 2565s | that |
| 2568s | hmm |
| 2570s | the problem is no control right I think |
| 2573s | that's the biggest Factor unlike the |
| 2575s | previous game when I was talking about |
| 2576s | how great it is to just have at least a |
| 2579s | handmaiden just at least one because |
| 2581s | then you know you're gonna get that one |
| 2583s | like good burst of cycle with nothing |
| 2585s | like xiaobai just doesn't really have |
| 2588s | enough to really put uh Put It Forward |
| 2590s | oh wow second Relic and Bunny Hopper not |
| 2594s | facing down any kind of board |
| 2597s | they feel great he might even get away |
| 2599s | with a second |
| 2601s | relic of dimensions |
| 2606s | oh yeah we are in the world though we're |
| 2610s | in the world where there could be no |
| 2612s | spell damage in the hand going into the |
| 2614s | pop-off term which is not what Bonnie |
| 2616s | would want to be looking at this time |
| 2617s | does get two three threes but that's six |
| 2620s | damage from those two minions is not |
| 2622s | even close to what's one single spell |
| 2625s | damage minion would do this turn well no |
| 2627s | draw again but a boon number two in hand |
| 2632s | you just gotta do it I |
| 2635s | think so yeah like it is a pretty |
| 2638s | formulaic match up you might have |
| 2640s | guessed that by the fact that I told you |
| 2641s | exactly everything that would happen |
| 2642s | this game like four turns ago yeah |
| 2648s | yeah this is yeah it can double burn |
| 2652s | right I think that's the the factor here |
| 2654s | is the fact I think you could only play |
| 2655s | one I would |
| 2657s | be hesitant to say oh yeah you always |
| 2659s | pop off here but the fact you can play |
| 2661s | two I think pushes it over the edge yep |
| 2664s | we're also just aren't we just minus two |
| 2667s | Health this turn for no reason I'm sure |
| 2669s | it doesn't matter but wait what what |
| 2671s | happened I missed it the light the burns |
| 2674s | play it before the village oh no you |
| 2676s | were because he went back up to Max |
| 2677s | Manor anyway right it doesn't actually |
| 2678s | make a difference yeah |
| 2681s | I'll dare you question himself nope nope |
| 2684s | fair enough |
| 2685s | oh location here for bunny as well |
| 2689s | that's a pretty big deal I've not added |
| 2692s | everything up to see if you can do what |
| 2693s | he needs to do but just having the |
| 2695s | option of that and an Extinction is huge |
| 2697s | considering shall buy will be reliant on |
| 2700s | the fact that this location on board is |
| 2702s | on cooldown so with the location The |
| 2706s | Relic does 18 total damage |
| 2709s | he can AOE for three twice which would |
| 2713s | then leave what nine and two elevens on |
| 2717s | the board so 31 Health 18's not 31. I |
| 2720s | don't know if you've noticed |
| 2723s | 18 is now 31. I was gonna say I think |
| 2726s | I've heard that 18 is at 31 somewhere |
| 2729s | before in the past year yep |
| 2733s | be true |
| 2738s | full price though means that one of |
| 2740s | these cards has to not get played |
| 2743s | this is now Unleashed fell trade in and |
| 2747s | that is that's still 22 total damage |
| 2750s | but that means there's enough to clear |
| 2751s | it technically but the breakpoints won't |
| 2753s | work I think |
| 2758s | of course you don't even have a Mana to |
| 2760s | get the location in doing it that way |
| 2761s | yeah it's two yeah as soon as the spell |
| 2763s | damage yeah yeah yeah |
| 2765s | it was a location or spell damage in my |
| 2768s | book |
| 2771s | although at least for bunny right now is |
| 2774s | only 20 it's not strictly lethal only |
| 2776s | three cards in hand and even though it |
| 2779s | feels at this point unlikely that a |
| 2782s | maiden isn't there uh It Isn't So |
| 2785s | xiaobai only really has this Shard of |
| 2788s | the nauru to to maybe dig him out of a |
| 2790s | situation here yeah the |
| 2793s | very weird alternative here though is to |
| 2797s | essentially gain 10 damage by using The |
| 2799s | Shard as a Shard because if you don't |
| 2801s | use The Shard as a sharp this turn and |
| 2803s | you don't kill your opponent yeah |
| 2804s | exactly this then you'd have to trade |
| 2807s | right and then you're just minus 10 |
| 2808s | damage |
| 2809s | yeah I think I was looking at maybe too |
| 2812s | much of a dream scenario of like cycle |
| 2814s | into exactly Shard of the neru so sorry |
| 2818s | give to the narrow sorry gift to the |
| 2819s | narrow and then you know into you know |
| 2822s | maybe Switcheroo or something you know |
| 2823s | something like that but but that is a |
| 2825s | long shot and I think I'm with you now |
| 2827s | the more I look at it saying you're |
| 2829s | silencing though and you can see xiaobai |
| 2831s | just like give me that one that's what |
| 2833s | I've got yeah but now with location |
| 2835s | Relic |
| 2836s | and only what 13 cards still all well |
| 2840s | not all but huge chunk of the spell |
| 2841s | damage in the deck |
| 2847s | got to be location Relic to start right |
| 2849s | yep no other choice there we go |
| 2852s | and the reductions are like 100 now we |
| 2854s | thought may as well be anyway |
| 2856s | barrage is great still need some spell |
| 2858s | damage oh there it is |
| 2862s | huge absolutely huge yup spell damage |
| 2864s | foul barrage is gonna clean this up |
| 2867s | absolutely no hassle whatsoever and |
| 2871s | honestly now subtle |
| 2874s | what is there to do a shall buy he's |
| 2877s | literally playing less priest in a top |
| 2880s | deck point a shot of an another shot of |
| 2883s | the narrow is going to cycle of course |
| 2884s | but yeah a lot there are so many nothing |
| 2887s | cards yeah and there's the concede Bunny |
| 2889s | Hop goes up to a 2-0 lead and Xiao by |
| 2893s | once again getting this Boon priest |
| 2896s | answered and you can see the frustration |
| 2898s | building and I honestly don't even blame |
| 2901s | him it's a very frustrating experience |
| 2903s | to then go against Mage get Frozen get |
| 2906s | Frozen this and that happens and then |
| 2907s | you're like all right I've lost even |
| 2909s | though I had big minions ready to go |
| 2911s | versus Demon Hunter make the big board |
| 2913s | but he just holds on 20 damage out of 30 |
| 2917s | sent to the face and then the answer's |
| 2919s | there for Bunny and your stuff gets |
| 2921s | cleared away again xiaobai definitely |
| 2924s | needs to uh hope you can pull something |
| 2926s | out the bag soon because he is running |
| 2928s | out of time |
| 2929s | yep and as I said that is a very |
| 2932s | formulaic matchup you know like just |
| 2935s | going very very early if you don't see a |
| 2937s | location just go in as early as you can |
| 2939s | if you see a location go in as soon as |
| 2941s | the that location is on cooldown if |
| 2943s | you're on the Demon Hunter side play |
| 2945s | your location ramp up as best as you can |
| 2947s | hold on to relative extinctions blah |
| 2948s | blah blah talked about it all the whole |
| 2950s | way through the matchup right you're now |
| 2951s | a fully trained player of that matchup |
| 2953s | at a world championship level except no |
| 2955s | you're not because the intangible |
| 2957s | decisions are like the bunny does bunny |
| 2960s | play the chaos strike on turn three does |
| 2962s | he trade away the guild Trader even |
| 2964s | though he ended up needing spell damage |
| 2966s | when it came back to that point those |
| 2968s | are the things that you can't just teach |
| 2969s | a person you have to be really good at |
| 2972s | card games to know how to make that |
| 2974s | first that decision in the in the moment |
| 2976s | and in the context and in the exact |
| 2978s | situation that you're faced with in |
| 2980s | front of you so I think bunny navigated |
| 2982s | that very very well overall and I think |
| 2984s | honestly Xiao Bai likewise It's just |
| 2986s | sometimes yeah because the deck as good |
| 2988s | as Demon Hunter you just get golf but |
| 2990s | xiaobai has um unfortunately not passed |
| 2994s | the bly's test |
| 2996s | he's not playing priests which game yeah |
| 2999s | but he's jumping over to his own Demon |
| 3001s | Hunter now to to start off bit of a |
| 3003s | clean slate you know shake it off a |
| 3005s | little bit forget about the priest for a |
| 3006s | little while and try and get a win under |
| 3008s | your belt and I I do you know however |
| 3010s | much we can talk about the the whether |
| 3012s | the mental aspect really makes an impact |
| 3014s | or not I can respect the decision to say |
| 3016s | you know what I just put the deck over |
| 3017s | there for just a minute I'll come back |
| 3018s | to it later gonna play Demon Hunter and |
| 3021s | try and just get a win under his belt uh |
| 3023s | but it is going up against the Rogue and |
| 3024s | we've said this for |
| 3026s | a long time now Saul that bunny likes |
| 3029s | this style of Rogue so I would be very |
| 3031s | worried if I was shall Buy yeah it |
| 3033s | really does I believe even |
| 3035s | um |
| 3036s | while what theory crafting was going on |
| 3038s | for the new expansion Bonnie was just |
| 3039s | sat there streaming to Infinity number |
| 3041s | of viewers just playing jackpot Rogue on |
| 3044s | ladder while everyone else is playing |
| 3046s | decks from the new expansion like this |
| 3048s | is what he does he just sits and plays |
| 3050s | jackpot Rogue really really enjoys this |
| 3052s | deck overall is one of the absolute best |
| 3054s | at it is one of the best at these like a |
| 3057s | la carte piecemeal style Rogue decks and |
| 3060s | always has been right going all the way |
| 3061s | back to weirdo Lackey secret Rogues that |
| 3064s | we've had in the past where you had this |
| 3067s | deck that like curved out with three but |
| 3068s | could somehow out value control priest |
| 3070s | and Bunny was the the king of that as |
| 3072s | well |
| 3073s | um it's a joy to watch him play these |
| 3075s | kind of Rogue decks yeah my name is |
| 3077s | xiaobai gonna have that uh silence |
| 3079s | effect uh wait what I didn't even see |
| 3081s | that for a second it was silence right |
| 3083s | Vigilant silence yeah yes it is the |
| 3085s | science okay I always get that in the |
| 3086s | the deal three mixed up when I just got |
| 3089s | into them but anyway we're getting |
| 3090s | straight into the game bunny Hopper just |
| 3092s | one game away from making it to tomorrow |
| 3094s | shall buy a mountain to climb if he |
| 3098s | wants to survive another day in the |
| 3100s | world championship but |
| 3102s | gonna start somewhere I would also like |
| 3106s | to start on Demon Hunter |
| 3108s | yeah that's Sigil of Silence uh I |
| 3110s | believe you're on dog walking duties at |
| 3112s | the time but he actually had a |
| 3113s | game-winning impact in the series |
| 3115s | against Pasqua up against death rattle |
| 3117s | Rogue where oh of course the graveyard |
| 3120s | was in play and jailby just managed to |
| 3121s | load up the city of silence and Pascal |
| 3123s | just did not draw any way to proc any of |
| 3125s | the Death Rows that he already had in |
| 3126s | play he had like three or four death |
| 3128s | rattles in play and just no way to proc |
| 3130s | them before they all got silenced Away |
| 3131s | by the schedule it was pickle |
| 3132s | heartbreaking I do the responsible dog |
| 3135s | owner thing and get punished by missing |
| 3138s | uh one of the the one-offs moments in in |
| 3141s | a Demon Hunter |
| 3144s | thanks for doing the quick recap for me |
| 3146s | I appreciate it uh bunny Hopper |
| 3149s | just gonna cycle these cutlers get that |
| 3151s | uh potion belt reduced |
| 3153s | okay Quest a special in the perfect spot |
| 3157s | for xiaobai and has location taking all |
| 3160s | the boxes for now even the uh The Cheeky |
| 3162s | tradable card in the middle there |
| 3170s | yes it gets the guaranteed discount on |
| 3173s | turn two if he wants it with the coin |
| 3175s | with spectral site tradable |
| 3190s | foreign |
| 3200s | normally well in a lot of Rogue matchups |
| 3204s | very excited to see that Viper not in |
| 3207s | this one no no tracker as far as I can |
| 3209s | tell |
| 3210s | jackpot picked up for bunny Hopper |
| 3212s | though |
| 3214s | just pull the trigger and start planning |
| 3216s | now |
| 3221s | almost like this hand seems to be saying |
| 3224s | this is a colossal game to me yes Queen |
| 3228s | ashara |
| 3235s | especially with the uh the shadow step |
| 3236s | that can make some magic happen as well |
| 3238s | in a couple of instances |
| 3240s | but is there a specific colossal bunny |
| 3244s | Hopper would want you know in this |
| 3245s | matchup or is it just whatever's the |
| 3247s | most immediately impactful go |
| 3249s | yeah I mean big thing lots of damage is |
| 3253s | really what you're looking for and those |
| 3254s | you know there is a tier list of big |
| 3256s | things lots of damage when it comes to |
| 3257s | the colossals that you can get |
| 3259s | um but even like Glock for example even |
| 3262s | though it doesn't do infinite damage |
| 3263s | immediately |
| 3265s | exactly it's a thing that's incredibly |
| 3267s | difficult for uh for the Demon Hunter to |
| 3269s | deal with yeah I guess that the one |
| 3271s | usual factor is the uh the class card |
| 3274s | asterisk in there as well when you talk |
| 3277s | about big damage because you know |
| 3279s | neptulon's always the one that's |
| 3280s | discussed at that point right |
| 3282s | foreign |
| 3288s | care that it's not a class card at that |
| 3290s | point you know oh sure sure I just think |
| 3293s | that's what keeps it from not being just |
| 3295s | the ultimate the best one all the time |
| 3297s | yes because otherwise I think I I think |
| 3300s | you're completely right it would be if |
| 3301s | you could keep re-summoning neptulans |
| 3303s | like oh okay |
| 3310s | oh bye just uh |
| 3312s | moving along there a cheap location |
| 3314s | which uh probably is one of the cards |
| 3317s | you don't really you're not that happy |
| 3318s | about hitting because a lot of the time |
| 3320s | location is just a setup so you don't |
| 3322s | remind spending the full manner on it |
| 3324s | but still |
| 3325s | yeah still of course it's a good card |
| 3328s | just to be able to play as reductive as |
| 3331s | that sounds right sometimes you just |
| 3332s | have a handful of things that you want |
| 3334s | to save and Relic vault is just the card |
| 3336s | that you can play out whenever you want |
| 3338s | just to make hand space for more card |
| 3340s | draw or to not overdraw at the end of a |
| 3341s | turn or whatever it is so |
| 3343s | in that regard having it discounted is |
| 3345s | okay but yeah not not very impactful |
| 3347s | game let's go |
| 3350s | oh okay interesting bunny had the choice |
| 3354s | there for me between this which is death |
| 3357s | right into a larger minion |
| 3359s | um and you know the uh I I forgotten the |
| 3360s | name of the card but the the death |
| 3362s | knight 2-2 draw on death rattle and |
| 3364s | Battle Cry |
| 3365s | yes um and just interesting because one |
| 3368s | thing I think this deck can struggle |
| 3369s | with in odd times is just keeping the |
| 3371s | card draw high so I think just having a |
| 3373s | recurring tutu that death rattles into a |
| 3375s | drawer card was a decent option but |
| 3377s | bunny after choosing to go for more of a |
| 3379s | board presence scenario here |
| 3383s | now does have Queen ashara |
| 3385s | available oh that's it gotta be colossal |
| 3389s | time right |
| 3390s | I I don't see another plan |
| 3393s | because I think colossal is better than |
| 3396s | jackpot Quest |
| 3399s | at least you know what roughly you get |
| 3401s | in with the colossal |
| 3404s | oh |
| 3406s | my |
| 3407s | question is does is bunny Hopper sat |
| 3409s | thinking about whether he actually |
| 3411s | shadow steps this now now all takes a |
| 3414s | value trade as well I thought he just |
| 3415s | traded get six six immediately |
| 3420s | using not to step |
| 3428s | yeah I think just saying anything that |
| 3429s | clears this up involves spell damage and |
| 3431s | removal cards being used in which case |
| 3433s | cool like I kind of feel like I'm |
| 3435s | winning if some damage and removal is |
| 3437s | used on this board |
| 3445s | yeah yeah I think I'm |
| 3447s | one thing that's difficult to learn with |
| 3450s | this deck at least initially is because |
| 3451s | unleash fairly is just such a good card |
| 3454s | just full stop yes you do always have to |
| 3457s | bear in mind it's like okay do I use it |
| 3459s | as removal and heal a little bit or do |
| 3462s | or will I need the burst and I think in |
| 3466s | this matchup you really lean towards |
| 3468s | needing the burst right like you know |
| 3470s | it's 40 else Rogue that can almost play |
| 3473s | any card in the game in terms of you |
| 3475s | know armor gain or uh disruption spells |
| 3478s | or Secrets right like there's so much |
| 3480s | that can go wrong potentially that I |
| 3483s | think just needing that burst damage is |
| 3485s | going to be key and we see xiaobai are |
| 3487s | just sitting back and saying you know |
| 3488s | what take your seven damage |
| 3494s | and take it he shall |
| 3503s | prep or not to prep that is the question |
| 3510s | by the way with not prepping because you |
| 3512s | can just step and still play a shower |
| 3515s | right oh no sorry you'll be one off that |
| 3517s | was yeah wasn't he yeah you need to play |
| 3520s | the actual colossal of course as well |
| 3525s | it's so much worse than it used to be I |
| 3527s | still have the reaction of oh Nelly okay |
| 3529s | and then I remember it's this Nelly you |
| 3531s | know yeah |
| 3533s | it's like uh the the obviously fake ones |
| 3536s | you see pictures of of uh |
| 3539s | yeah sorry as opposed to all the real |
| 3541s | pictures of the Loch Ness monster |
| 3543s | obviously |
| 3546s | hey what I said was technically correct |
| 3548s | hole so there are pictures that are |
| 3550s | obviously fake and there are pictures |
| 3552s | that are less obviously fake I see yeah |
| 3558s | foreign |
| 3560s | yeah |
| 3566s | you wait until you see the really really |
| 3569s | really clearly valid pictures of the |
| 3571s | Loch Ness monster swimming right off the |
| 3574s | edge of the Earth |
| 3575s | [Laughter] |
| 3583s | I know has options options options but |
| 3586s | only one Relic to go with this like |
| 3588s | these pair of locations here |
| 3592s | again like is this the point like I mean |
| 3596s | you're definitely are better than me at |
| 3598s | this Demon Hunter so but it shall I just |
| 3602s | have to take another punch here like he |
| 3604s | doesn't have that much spell damage |
| 3606s | available even though plus four is a lot |
| 3608s | I don't think it's enough to say oh I'll |
| 3611s | just load this into the Rogue it hits |
| 3612s | the Rogue anyway and that's Damage Done |
| 3615s | you know it's not quite enough is it |
| 3617s | yeah so this is an incredibly |
| 3619s | complicated turn and situation my |
| 3621s | instinct is to cycle cow strike cycle |
| 3623s | Guild Trader |
| 3625s | just cycle this to basically I want |
| 3627s | relative dimensions if I find relic of |
| 3629s | Dimensions I think I have every chance |
| 3631s | of just saying okay I can actually |
| 3633s | ignore this board for a turn or two have |
| 3636s | then a big healing turn and then my |
| 3638s | relative dimensions hits my Jace and |
| 3640s | then I can just literally lethal them |
| 3641s | out of nowhere to turn afterwards |
| 3644s | um so that is still my number one game |
| 3645s | plan at this point uh xiaobai of course |
| 3647s | also has the experience to know about |
| 3649s | the Sigil of Silence which is not a card |
| 3651s | that I'm used to factoring in as well |
| 3653s | which is super super useful in this |
| 3656s | scenario of course as well |
| 3658s | yeah and I quite like this right because |
| 3660s | Rabbi can almost certainly take this |
| 3663s | here and not be that bothered as you |
| 3665s | mentioned he's got the spell damage he's |
| 3666s | got a heel if he wants it or when he |
| 3668s | wants it should I say |
| 3670s | um but I do like this as well just |
| 3671s | presenting his own threat because if |
| 3673s | bunny ignores this then he could just |
| 3676s | get AOE down and then there's tons of |
| 3678s | extra damage for xiaobai for free but |
| 3680s | bunny Hopper does have to respect this |
| 3682s | here |
| 3683s | again we will see what's going on with |
| 3685s | this Shadow step I do wonder when the |
| 3687s | Opera's actually here oh come on I'm not |
| 3692s | as forced about Shadow step in a shower |
| 3694s | and says it's a 5'3 if my opponent wants |
| 3697s | to kill it they will almost certainly |
| 3699s | have to unleash fell |
| 3705s | foreign |
| 3714s | Elementor doesn't make life interesting |
| 3720s | gonna bounce the Nelly I should ask the |
| 3723s | Nelly yeah I mean |
| 3725s | and still a number of steps right you'd |
| 3727s | have to step it juice it again yeah you |
| 3729s | know like it'll take some time the Nelly |
| 3732s | is at least just immediate power that |
| 3734s | you can dump down again straight away |
| 3736s | yeah as long as the uh the Colossal is |
| 3740s | something you can get repeat value from |
| 3742s | you do always have to just quickly |
| 3743s | glance at it for a shadow step Target |
| 3745s | right |
| 3747s | looks like it's a commit committal time |
| 3751s | I'll lethal is it I'm gonna call this |
| 3754s | now wait markip's gone double towel |
| 3756s | barrage |
| 3758s | with the second one through it is |
| 3759s | actually actually is he has 24 from the |
| 3761s | fell barrages corn deals the damage okay |
| 3764s | that is lethal oh wow from this coin and |
| 3768s | then 12 yeah beautiful stuff there was |
| 3771s | something telling me like is this lethal |
| 3773s | and it was as always the mark of scorn |
| 3775s | right because you can never just say it |
| 3777s | is until it is a big win there for |
| 3780s | xiaobai does get that at least uh one |
| 3783s | point on the board and the bunny just |
| 3785s | was putting the threats down but xiaobai |
| 3788s | just I think quite rightly knew that |
| 3790s | okay just just hit me next turn it's |
| 3793s | fine you almost certainly not gonna kill |
| 3795s | me I'll keep cycling as you broke down |
| 3797s | so I'll keep cycling dig to the key |
| 3799s | cards get the big Combos and be able to |
| 3801s | push out from there and I think xiaobai |
| 3803s | you know displayed a pretty good control |
| 3805s | there in that matchup and that is once |
| 3807s | again a Sigil of Silence difference |
| 3809s | because again gelbyes played with his |
| 3812s | version of the deck he was in the right |
| 3813s | mindset I was not in my mind I still had |
| 3816s | extra layers of taunts to deal with |
| 3818s | right there's a two-time to be broken |
| 3820s | open there's a two six tone there's a |
| 3821s | six six and needs to be cleared there's |
| 3822s | all this kind of stuff so I'm focused on |
| 3824s | Survival get Jace xiaobai knows if I |
| 3827s | just get Sigil of Silence I can just |
| 3829s | count the rest of the damage in my hand |
| 3830s | and realize that I have lethal so he I |
| 3832s | don't think he was cycling so much for |
| 3833s | relative dimensions he was just straight |
| 3835s | up cycling for situent of Silence so |
| 3837s | that he could win the game and having |
| 3839s | seen that interaction now I I feel like |
| 3842s | I'm just getting baited into different |
| 3843s | fields of this every time I see one win |
| 3845s | but like just Theory crafting that |
| 3848s | interaction |
| 3849s | if you can guarantee |
| 3851s | on your next turn that your opponent |
| 3855s | does not have multiple layers of Minions |
| 3857s | on the board |
| 3859s | that's gotta be lethal a lot of the time |
| 3862s | right that's a gotta be a amount of |
| 3865s | damage yeah yeah because the huge thing |
| 3867s | is the fell barrage because it's |
| 3868s | basically spelled spell damage times two |
| 3870s | right so that's why it's such a big deal |
| 3873s | to make sure that damage hits phase but |
| 3875s | what I mean is when you get to the late |
| 3876s | game and you've actually got the spell |
| 3877s | damage and fell barrages and whatever |
| 3879s | else stacked up in your hand the only |
| 3881s | way you don't kill your opponent it |
| 3883s | doesn't ever really matter how much |
| 3885s | health the opposing Hero has it matters |
| 3887s | if they have death rattles and Reborns |
| 3889s | and whatever else on their board so they |
| 3891s | can actually absorb the uh the fell |
| 3893s | barrage damage off of your board in |
| 3895s | various places if you're able to |
| 3896s | preemptively pre-load Sigil of Silence |
| 3898s | to be able to deal with that then that's |
| 3900s | never a problem and you just always kill |
| 3902s | them |
| 3904s | yeah Saul's uh gonna be playing |
| 3906s | something tonight and it's called Sigil |
| 3908s | of Silence at least test it out but here |
| 3910s | very very I still want to I still want |
| 3912s | to play the uh the tus-piercer build |
| 3914s | first I think that is more interest but |
| 3916s | I I'll get around to Sigil of silence |
| 3918s | for sure yeah I'll come up with some |
| 3920s | cards for you to test as well so I |
| 3921s | promise I'll be good but the up and out |
| 3924s | still in the lead 2-1 now gonna be in |
| 3926s | that Rogue mirror but of course |
| 3928s | different builds to the jackpot from |
| 3931s | bunny going up against the Draka from |
| 3933s | xiaobine I think xiaobai kept the shadow |
| 3936s | step and draca right or was it Shadow |
| 3938s | step potion belt he kept two out of |
| 3940s | three anyway and one was dragger |
| 3951s | daughter be destroyed surely |
| 3956s | oh wow okay what do I know |
| 3959s | a noob |
| 3967s | probably just gonna be get that location |
| 3969s | down right uh for xiaobai can then work |
| 3972s | on everything else later but look at all |
| 3974s | these potions and the shadow steps and |
| 3977s | the tracker like xiaobai is not that far |
| 3979s | away from doing some very very silly |
| 3981s | things so yeah I mean try to concealment |
| 3984s | at any point uh is likely to then hit a |
| 3987s | mailbox dancer and then you are away if |
| 3989s | you don't draw it naturally you can go |
| 3991s | potion belt into card draw uh multiple |
| 3993s | times from here |
| 3996s | Bonnie is on a clock |
| 3998s | it is ticking already |
| 4006s | just taking this presumably just to have |
| 4009s | something to do on turn three because as |
| 4011s | it stood going into this turn he was |
| 4013s | just gonna float a bunch of Mana or |
| 4015s | dagger up or something on this turn |
| 4016s | right which just didn't really feel |
| 4017s | appealing |
| 4018s | so instead of thank you instead of |
| 4021s | worrying about what you were going to be |
| 4023s | doing with uh dealing with the |
| 4025s | opponent's board bunny just focused on |
| 4027s | something proactive to do on his turn |
| 4028s | three because he didn't actually have |
| 4030s | anything to do yeah it was definitely a |
| 4032s | moment I was like well I know what that |
| 4033s | Hunter card does but soul may well not I |
| 4037s | definitely did yes teamwork go yeah |
| 4046s | companies deciding whether he just wants |
| 4048s | to play it at all you would at a glance |
| 4051s | be questioning why you wouldn't just |
| 4053s | play a three four but there are actually |
| 4055s | two factors here one can give Shell by |
| 4058s | targets to play his cards and help pop |
| 4061s | off with but also |
| 4063s | um the the interaction with whenever |
| 4066s | your hero attacks a minion set itself to |
| 4068s | one well that's quite good when your |
| 4070s | hero power is create a weapon |
| 4073s | so there's multiple layers to this as |
| 4076s | opposed to just saying oh why wouldn't |
| 4077s | you just play a zero Mana three four on |
| 4079s | curve yeah yes it is a potentially |
| 4084s | useful card like if you smear Vaseline |
| 4086s | all over your eyeballs and squint really |
| 4088s | hard it sort of says equality on it |
| 4090s | right |
| 4092s | you know what I'm sure so with all the |
| 4094s | things I've heard recently about how |
| 4096s | people compare cards to other cards I |
| 4099s | wouldn't be surprised if somewhere |
| 4100s | someone on some kind of social media |
| 4103s | just says oh yeah it's just like a |
| 4105s | three-manner equality a hunter and then |
| 4108s | and they would be dead serious and it |
| 4110s | would hurt me deep in my soul I feel |
| 4113s | like the context that Hunter has the |
| 4115s | card candle shot probably needs to come |
| 4117s | into the equation here but yeah |
| 4119s | no no it's just three Mana equality Soul |
| 4121s | oh okay fine oh you need to know |
| 4128s | hey well should I buy stocking up on |
| 4131s | potions |
| 4132s | [Music] |
| 4137s | and again going for a very just |
| 4139s | averagely sized minion there from the |
| 4141s | location |
| 4149s | uh doing a quick gigafin search gigafin |
| 4153s | not detected |
| 4156s | when you could slowly transition into |
| 4158s | Hunter gameplay here only with the uh |
| 4161s | Keen Eye but with an imported tarantula |
| 4164s | as well you might lose the world |
| 4166s | championship but you'd gain a fan in |
| 4168s | Raven |
| 4169s | someone play Hunter at this |
| 4175s | I don't think it's the worst choice if |
| 4177s | I'm being honest which is the worst |
| 4179s | choice |
| 4182s | undying disciple |
| 4185s | okay I feel like it's spirit guide but |
| 4187s | okay |
| 4189s | the best choice is tarantula |
| 4194s | all right we'll let Bonnie decide I'm |
| 4196s | not sure I'm with you but I'm willing to |
| 4198s | Bunny's POV equal level oh all right |
| 4203s | fine |
| 4206s | I think I won that |
| 4208s | yeah you were slightly less wrong than I |
| 4210s | was right I mean but they often you know |
| 4213s | comparable Jamaican |
| 4216s | a battle of two great intellects yep yep |
| 4221s | the real answer there was yes comparable |
| 4223s | because you both have animals for names |
| 4229s | I mean so do I now you named your dog |
| 4231s | after me |
| 4239s | slightly different spelling |
| 4242s | yeah I was wondering I did name my dog's |
| 4245s | survivor of the lake |
| 4247s | pain to shout when he runs off laughs |
| 4254s | oh yeah okay well plays that that that |
| 4257s | genuinely hit me very hard that's that's |
| 4259s | quite funny |
| 4266s | I'm still waiting all this time for |
| 4268s | someone from like the game faq's Metal |
| 4269s | and punk board and like God knows when |
| 4272s | to pop up but like oh that's you |
| 4276s | I remember you |
| 4278s | what are you doing here what are you |
| 4281s | doing here |
| 4283s | in the meantime though xiaobais decided |
| 4286s | I think subtle that this is going to be |
| 4288s | what we call the turn as all the cards |
| 4291s | in his hand are at least close to all of |
| 4293s | them are going to be played nice pick up |
| 4294s | there with the bone Spike as well |
| 4297s | this tracker is looking threatening at |
| 4301s | worst |
| 4302s | [Music] |
| 4304s | also the fact that xiaobai has this on |
| 4307s | the location turn of course and and help |
| 4309s | clear up some of this board too if not |
| 4311s | all of it actually |
| 4313s | if he wants to |
| 4318s | I wonder if it's like double trade push |
| 4321s | Fall leave the five five up |
| 4330s | again |
| 4335s | yeah I keep staring at it and I couldn't |
| 4337s | find any way to kill the five five that |
| 4339s | I really liked on that turn so I do |
| 4341s | think this is the best way of going |
| 4342s | about it yeah it's like just I'll just |
| 4344s | have a 4-4 instead I think I'd take that |
| 4347s | choice pretty pretty often though yeah |
| 4353s | because otherwise it would just have |
| 4355s | been double trade the fours into the |
| 4357s | null trade the other four four into the |
| 4360s | five five with the bone Spike right |
| 4363s | I just don't see the reason that xiaobai |
| 4365s | would want to lose the uh the ghost |
| 4369s | now bunny |
| 4370s | other cards a lot of options but are any |
| 4373s | of them good enough |
| 4375s | hey girlfriend |
| 4379s | oh |
| 4383s | shut up |
| 4386s | hello my dear friend |
| 4389s | um |
| 4389s | okay we're fine |
| 4392s | [Music] |
| 4395s | The murloc Sounds approach is the shadow |
| 4398s | step worth I think absolutely yeah |
| 4401s | there's concoction yeah it could be |
| 4404s | anything |
| 4407s | what a turn around hey just the quality |
| 4411s | of his own board |
| 4415s | why would you possibly do this |
| 4419s | oh |
| 4422s | hey well the one taunt in the way could |
| 4424s | be saving bunny Hopper |
| 4426s | um you know in multiple levels saying |
| 4427s | not only the Giga pin of course clearing |
| 4429s | the massively threatening board where |
| 4432s | this goes |
| 4436s | uh |
| 4438s | uh Hunters everywhere |
| 4442s | oh |
| 4444s | hang on a minute |
| 4448s | we get a deckless check what what do you |
| 4451s | need |
| 4452s | so many |
| 4456s | what does it do |
| 4458s | there you go there's a lot of very |
| 4459s | useful things huh |
| 4463s | yeah if Japan is not dead |
| 4466s | yeah I mean that is a slightly more |
| 4467s | pressing concern right now for sure oh I |
| 4470s | I think I've got to look away if this |
| 4472s | weapon goes into the taunt soul |
| 4474s | everyone |
| 4478s | don't look something terrible is about |
| 4480s | to happen |
| 4489s | can you look at yourself in the mirror |
| 4491s | in the next day if you swing oh |
| 4495s | look look the world championship is gone |
| 4496s | okay just retain some self-respect |
| 4500s | that's what's important |
| 4503s | it's like I would rather lose than swing |
| 4506s | my weapon into this sword |
| 4508s | oh as it stands I think it's both |
| 4513s | yeah he has in fact lost and swung his |
| 4517s | weapon into that Dawn |
| 4518s | how powerful is this three for its |
| 4520s | inequality you can Shadow step |
| 4525s | another one just fit let's be honest |
| 4528s | just for stats and another taunt at this |
| 4530s | yeah nothing lazy here for bunny this is |
| 4532s | essentially why you had to do it right |
| 4534s | because yes if you didn't kill it there |
| 4537s | was going to be two of them next turn so |
| 4539s | any way you can think of that kills the |
| 4541s | torn without you swinging without you |
| 4543s | swinging the weapon into it well you're |
| 4545s | then just going to be swinging the |
| 4546s | weapon into the next one anyway so you |
| 4547s | have to kill one of them eventually with |
| 4550s | the weapon and this is why it's like a |
| 4552s | double whamming in this matchup isn't it |
| 4555s | gigafin the Battle Cry deals with the |
| 4558s | stealth there ghosts and it creates a |
| 4561s | taunt it literally just takes the two |
| 4563s | boxes you need to take to beat this deck |
| 4565s | and Bunny Hopper put himself in a |
| 4568s | fantastic position not only in this game |
| 4570s | but in this series as he's looking very |
| 4573s | very good right now |
| 4574s | hello |
| 4580s | hello |
| 4582s | is it me you're looking for |
| 4588s | it's too man I think really matters okay |
| 4590s | yeah now you have deal one |
| 4595s | yeah yeah |
| 4599s | depends I'll bring up the date because I |
| 4601s | also remember these ghostly strikes |
| 4604s | um will draw cards too so could get to |
| 4607s | Bone Spike for example yeah if you got |
| 4609s | to Bone Spike then maybe you could get a |
| 4612s | stew going but as it stands like this is |
| 4614s | just gonna spend all the Mana and then |
| 4616s | you're not gonna have anything left to |
| 4617s | either kill your opponent or stop them |
| 4619s | from killing you |
| 4629s | come on |
| 4633s | it's just nothing there's |
| 4635s | a coin and curse of Agony yeah |
| 4639s | is there no it's not enough damage right |
| 4643s | six |
| 4644s | all three are drawn I mean it's closed |
| 4648s | it's two off sole |
| 4650s | I see |
| 4654s | I think with that unless I'm wrong yeah |
| 4657s | there we go shall buy concedes he is |
| 4660s | going to be done and it is bunny Hopper |
| 4662s | with a sigh of relief there that is |
| 4665s | going to make it through to tomorrow to |
| 4666s | the final day of the world championship |
| 4669s | and what a series honestly subtle |
| 4671s | because even though it looks one-sided |
| 4673s | 3-1 it was actually a lot closer it |
| 4676s | seemed especially with those last two |
| 4678s | games going how they did that was very |
| 4680s | very dicey indeed |
| 4682s | yeah and you can almost flip this entire |
| 4683s | series on its head right a couple of |
| 4685s | really crucial moments |
| 4688s | um you know Bunny's decision to throw |
| 4691s | away a mass polymorph in a hand and go |
| 4692s | fishing with Finley and then the bottom |
| 4694s | of his deck containing all of the solid |
| 4695s | Alibis and stall that he needed to get |
| 4697s | the job done that result going the other |
| 4699s | way could fit this entire series on its |
| 4701s | head uh the trading away of the spell |
| 4703s | damage not being a criticism not saying |
| 4705s | it's a decision I disagree with but the |
| 4706s | spell damage traded away they're not |
| 4707s | found and then suddenly being found on |
| 4709s | the clutch top deck on exactly the turn |
| 4710s | it was needed to potentially stay alive |
| 4712s | straight after that you could probably |
| 4714s | flip the entire series on its head if |
| 4715s | that goes the other way around as well |
| 4717s | and then colossal gigafin horn |
| 4720s | generating gigafin you can absolutely |
| 4723s | flip this game on its head if that |
| 4725s | doesn't happen if not the whole series |
| 4726s | as well so fine margins throughout for |
| 4730s | sure but for bunny of course |
| 4732s | congratulations making his way through |
| 4734s | the group having to do it by the |
| 4737s | extended route in the end of course and |
| 4739s | to xiaobai I think you know well done |
| 4740s | good lineup lineup that really grew on |
| 4743s | me as the group progressed something |
| 4745s | that was a little a little skeptical |
| 4748s | about at the start but I think it really |
| 4749s | showed its worth with the alignment |
| 4751s | Druid as well and particularly just the |
| 4753s | individual text like the Sigil of |
| 4755s | Silence impressed me on two separate |
| 4758s | occasions where it was definingly |
| 4760s | game-winning uh in that version of the |
| 4762s | deck so yeah I think he can hold his |
| 4764s | head high of course that would be small |
| 4766s | consolation for him who I'm sure he is |
| 4768s | absolutely mortified and saying hey you |
| 4770s | played well and brought good decks I'm |
| 4773s | sure that's not good calculation but |
| 4775s | it's true yes I completely agree and now |
| 4778s | we get to see how Group D has finished |
| 4780s | and with the European region in Worlds |
| 4783s | having definitely having its ups and |
| 4784s | downs uh so far this tournament I think |
| 4787s | it's safe to say that it is a fantastic |
| 4789s | ending of the group stages for Europe |
| 4792s | subtle is both a Levick and Bunny Hopper |
| 4795s | make it through what what a pair to join |
| 4797s | the rest of them in that top cup yeah |
| 4799s | absolutely if you are just joining us if |
| 4801s | whatever the time zone you are native to |
| 4804s | is just tuning you into the broadcast |
| 4805s | for the very very end it's been a |
| 4807s | marathon of a day you miss Levick being |
| 4809s | just incredibly solid consistent |
| 4813s | impressive uh Hearthstone throughout so |
| 4815s | being impressive hostile I think I |
| 4817s | started that sentence with being and |
| 4818s | then didn't make it you say being of |
| 4820s | impressive Hearthstone he's hate being |
| 4822s | of incredible Hearthstone energy yes |
| 4825s | that's what I was about to say uh he was |
| 4828s | very very impressive throughout so I |
| 4829s | think those are a very fitting to to |
| 4831s | make their way out of the group in the |
| 4833s | end and congratulations to both of |
| 4834s | course |
| 4835s | yeah and I'm not sure if we actually |
| 4837s | have the full graphic for the end of |
| 4840s | groups and what tomorrow's going to look |
| 4842s | like but I'm sure I'll get told in a |
| 4843s | second if that's the case but now the |
| 4846s | group stage is done sold just any any |
| 4848s | highlights any standouts that you've |
| 4850s | seen because now we've seen all of the |
| 4852s | players in world's play we've seen you |
| 4854s | know the decks the lineups how things |
| 4856s | are looking like uh you're taking into |
| 4858s | account the matchups we have coming up |
| 4859s | tomorrow for the final day any takeaways |
| 4862s | any comments before we wrap up for today |
| 4864s | uh yala's lineup yala bringing something |
| 4868s | which a lot of people would think would |
| 4870s | be counter-intuitive for yala yala is |
| 4872s | viewed as a control player you'll notice |
| 4875s | them being very selective in my language |
| 4876s | here yala is just a good player I think |
| 4879s | if you wanted to pigeonhole yala into |
| 4880s | anything he's a beat the meta he's a |
| 4884s | counter lineup player right that doesn't |
| 4885s | necessarily mean that he's always going |
| 4887s | to play control but he because of the |
| 4889s | slow considered you know greedy style |
| 4891s | that he has he tends to be pigeonholed |
| 4893s | into that so him bringing a line up is a |
| 4895s | very big departure from that but still |
| 4897s | being very very effective I think was |
| 4898s | great I think dead draws performance |
| 4900s | overall outside of One Missed lethal was |
| 4904s | very commendable as well a bit of an |
| 4906s | oxymoron yeah I think if you miss lethal |
| 4908s | you're probably disqualified from too |
| 4910s | much praise but I think overall he |
| 4911s | looked very very solid and honestly |
| 4913s | Levick |
| 4915s | just continues to answer the question |
| 4917s | put in front of him right like he's only |
| 4920s | been around at the top top level for a |
| 4923s | year or so right but right because of |
| 4925s | the way we've done things with grand |
| 4926s | Masters for the last couple of years |
| 4928s | hasn't really had the opportunity to do |
| 4930s | anything more than what he's been doing |
| 4932s | so as soon as he's been given the |
| 4933s | opportunity he is answering every call |
| 4936s | we're giving to him and now he's got the |
| 4938s | biggest call of them all which is the |
| 4940s | world championship and he looks entirely |
| 4942s | unfazed by the occasion and just |
| 4944s | continuing to play great yeah and I just |
| 4946s | want to quickly highlight some of those |
| 4948s | matches as well |
| 4950s | xmg bunny Hopper shouty dead draw Levick |
| 4955s | pizzessi like all eyes also let let's |
| 4959s | not forget if possessy just keeps on |
| 4961s | going we have that to talk about again |
| 4964s | so |
| 4966s | tomorrow is just going to be incredible |
| 4968s | I promise you just so many insane |
| 4970s | matchups and guess what when that first |
| 4973s | set of matchups has moved on the next |
| 4975s | set will be just as insane if not |
| 4977s | crazier so it's never going to stop |
| 4979s | tomorrow and it's so make sure you tune |
| 4980s | in but from all us thanks a lot for |
| 4982s | watching today we hope you had a great |
| 4984s | time and we'll see you same time same |
| 4986s | place tomorrow for the final day of the |
