1319s to Lobby Legend spring Championship I'm
1322s Raven and joining me is subtle we'll be
1325s taking you through all of the action
1326s today and tomorrow as well we've got a
1329s ton of Battlegrounds uh games coming up
1331s for you guys so welcome it's been a
1333s while especially since I cut some Lobby
1335s Legends now but are you ready for some
1337s Battlegrounds I like that intro it's
1339s like Raven welcome subtle to
1342s Battlegrounds as if I'm the guest here
1343s like Raven the experienced hand of
1346s broadcasting Battlegrounds of course
1347s welcomes me to proceeding so that's very
1349s very fitting but yes very excited to be
1351s getting back on with Battlegrounds I'm
1352s sure players and viewers feel very much
1354s the same way we made our debut for the
1356s year we've constructed a little while
1357s ago switching over to switching
1359s disciplines now to some Battlegrounds
1362s and great to be back with Lobby Legends
1364s because I think this was a pretty big
1366s success last year in its uh its debut
1368s season and now here we are back again
1370s for some more action
1371s and even though it has been a while we
1373s can take a look at what the format's
1374s gonna look like over the course of this
1376s weekend just to remind anyone maybe it's
1378s been a little bit too long uh what we
1379s got coming up Sal
1381s yeah so if you are familiar with what we
1383s did last year it is very very similar
1385s but if you are watching Lobby Legends
1386s for the first time here is a very brief
1387s overview of how this works 16 players
1390s have qualified for this tournament uh
1392s through a mixture of being the top
1394s places on the uh on the online ladder
1397s they're all for their particular region
1399s and then filling out the gaps with the
1401s highest MMR players of the best of the
1403s rest who didn't make any of those
1404s positions we split them up into two
1406s different lobbies of eight players each
1408s we play out three games in each of those
1411s lobbies that's what you'll be watching
1412s today three games in lobby a three games
1415s in lobby B the best performing players
1417s from each of those two groups then go
1419s through to tomorrow to fight out in the
1422s final Lobby of eight players where we
1424s will be entering check format which will
1426s give you plenty more details on tomorrow
1428s but it's a nice little way just to amp
1431s up the drama a little bit and make sure
1433s that the tournament actually ends on a
1435s climax win which is I am something
1437s that's something that I'm a very big fan
1438s of yeah and of course those games one
1440s thing that is true of both days is going
1442s to be those Point totals starting at
1444s seven points for first place finish and
1446s then going all the way down to zero and
1448s those get added up across all of the
1449s games of course and then we see what the
1451s players are competing for the prize pool
1453s itself first place a smooth ten thousand
1456s dollars at the top there and paying all
1458s the way down to all 16 players so pretty
1461s exciting stuff and that money especially
1463s when you can move on through into you
1465s know the day two sort of scenario does
1467s start to ramp up very very quickly
1469s indeed so definitely a lot to play for
1471s for these players and I do think that
1473s the competition is is pretty ruthless at
1476s the moment we've seen as we'll show you
1477s the groups in a minute we see a lot of
1479s the players like you know returning
1481s players to Battlegrounds and also with
1483s all the new effects we've had in
1485s Battlegrounds and all the new minions
1486s The Meta is still shifting and what
1488s everyone's going to do is going to be
1489s pretty exciting to see yeah I think it's
1491s a really interesting time to have a
1492s tournament because it's enough time
1494s since the huge minion revamp has
1496s happened for players to at least feel
1497s like they have a rhythm but because of
1499s the way it was trickled out it does
1501s still feel like we're still adapting to
1503s a meta that has changed quite rapidly as
1504s each new minion type has been revealed
1506s so there is a lot of stuff for these
1508s players to adapt
1509s one thing that has stayed the same I
1511s know a lot of people enjoyed this last
1513s year is the return of Tavern buddy uh to
1516s Hearthstone Battlegrounds Lobby Legends
1517s if you aren't familiar with this this is
1519s a twitch extension you should see it uh
1521s popped up in the corner on the side
1523s somewhere if you are watching on Twitch
1524s where we have four different little mini
1526s games that you can take part in to up
1529s the interactivity that you have with the
1531s stream starting with the most simple one
1532s which is fantasy team where you just
1535s straight up have to pick three players
1536s from each group today and then you'll do
1538s the same thing tomorrow picking three
1540s players from the finals group uh very
1542s very simple pick the three players that
1544s you think are gonna perform the best the
1545s better those players do the more points
1547s you get
1548s yep and then the next one is uh for me
1551s the spiciest one a lot of the time
1552s whereas puzzle box is gonna be it's
1554s gonna be a set of questions basically
1555s that have been asked for you to make
1557s predictions and you have to choose
1558s whether these things will happen or
1560s whether they will not and some of them
1561s are pretty tough so I'm excited to see
1563s how we do in that one yeah bandwagon
1567s probably the most complex overall uh
1570s guess the winner based on the first four
1571s turns is the blurb we have here so
1573s essentially you can change your mind as
1575s often as you want within the first four
1576s turns you have to have your choice
1578s locked in by the end of turn four and
1580s we'll try our best to remind you uh to
1582s do that during those first short turns
1584s and each other uh crucially though the
1587s earlier you pick if you are correct the
1589s more points you get you can change your
1591s mind as many times as you want that
1593s doesn't matter but if you lock in a pick
1595s on turn one and that is successful you
1598s will get more points than if you made
1599s that same pick on turn four the earlier
1602s the better
1603s and then finally we have balance
1604s blessing at some point during a game we
1607s will see a head-to-head matchup so we'll
1609s see both players screens and you'll have
1611s to predict who you think is going to win
1613s very much like the hero Barrel himself
1615s in the game so this one's going to be a
1617s tough one I think it's something that
1618s tests everyone who's played
1620s Battlegrounds kind of knowledge because
1621s you do this pretty much every game and
1623s every round you play anyway so this is
1626s going to be pretty interesting overall
1627s because some of those calls especially
1629s in this meta for me subtle can be quite
1632s difficult because some of the strategies
1634s are actually pretty misleading it's not
1637s just about just like a base Stat or oh I
1639s can tell these outcomes are gonna happen
1640s right some of them have a lot of
1642s different intricacies during the fight
1644s yeah it's not about a base stat it's
1646s about a base skill a lot of the time
1648s which can really make a mess of who you
1649s think is going to be winning the fight
1651s but here you go here's what we have with
1653s our uh initial puzzle box questions
1655s you'll be able to fill these out as you
1657s go along as well and you can see what me
1659s and Raven have gone for here uh although
1662s mine seem to have been entered
1664s incorrectly this is absolutely not what
1666s I show So Raven you can go through yours
1669s and then we'll see if I can get mine
1671s changed because this is not what I
1672s submitted at all Yeah so basically all
1674s you're going to pick here is yes or no
1676s and will a player win a game with Etc
1678s hopefully Etc gets offered but I do
1680s think it will be picked as one of the
1681s stronger heroes in the game and I do
1683s think these players are good enough that
1685s they will make those buddies work and
1688s next one is when uh sorry will I play a
1690s win a game without reaching Tavern tier
1691s five
1693s um I really wanted to say yes on this
1695s one because I think like it's the tavern
1696s tier four uh three and four is very
1698s strong in this matter but I do think the
1700s players will just progress past so we'll
1701s have to see how that one goes out then
1703s will a players score less than four
1704s points in their groups when I said
1706s earlier first place get seven last place
1708s gets zero and this one's gonna be spicy
1710s because it'll be three games onwards and
1712s then you can check out the rest on the
1713s twitch extension of course and make sure
1716s you fill all those out because those
1717s questions it's the first time I've done
1719s these before and you know whilst casting
1721s and it's actually really really tough to
1724s just sit and think well I'm gone well
1725s this could happen is couldn't but what's
1727s more likely
1728s yeah yeah really really tough one really
1730s interesting
1731s um just I agreed with I think four out
1733s of six of Raven's Arts oh there we go
1735s you can see it so the ones where I
1736s differed on uh I've gone with no on Etc
1738s I do think Etc is potentially the best
1740s hero in the game but just statistically
1742s there is a percentage chance that Etc
1744s doesn't actually get offered to anyone
1745s during the game there's a percentage
1747s chance that someone sees Etc and doesn't
1749s pick it which I would find unusual but
1750s there might be situations where they
1752s might just want like a more solid top 4
1754s hero because of game state right instead
1756s of more of a feast or famine kind of
1757s thing as Etc is and there is the
1759s opportunity that you pick Etc and you
1760s still don't win which can happen so all
1762s of those things added up I've gone for
1763s no uh other things we differ on is uh
1766s less than four points in their group I
1768s think that's just me being generally
1770s sadistic I think that'll be kind of
1772s funny if it happens so here we are I
1774s picked it uh and then game lasting
1776s longer than 18 turns this is the one I
1778s wasn't really sure on but there is so
1780s there's a part of me there's two ways
1782s this tournament can go otherwise people
1784s spiking really really hard for Tavern
1786s five to having six win conditions and
1788s really blowing people up early but there
1790s are actually a lot of very powerful like
1792s Tavern 4 gaming kind of strategies that
1794s you can do which defend for quite a long
1797s time and if multiple players in a Lobby
1799s choose to go for that kind of thing we
1800s might just see a game stretch out uh
1803s quite a long time so that's why I've
1804s differed on that one as well but we
1806s shall see I'm a little bit upset at the
1808s bottom one I feel like you should have
1809s been forced to go for yes on the last
1811s one will so I'll get every Paris
1813s blessing pick correct I feel like that
1815s was one Soul should be forced into as a
1817s yes to give me some kind of Advantage
1818s because I feel like I need it
1820s um so yeah it's going to be interesting
1822s and again uh you know let us know which
1823s ones you've picked because those
1825s questions are pretty spicy indeed and
1828s just for fun we've added an extra
1830s Challenge on top here between Saul
1832s myself and uh it will be pretty
1835s interesting because it's based on when
1836s all of these scores are combined between
1838s me and Saul uh the loser has to do
1841s something I would say unfun if you would
1843s agree so
1845s that's how we have it summed up at the
1846s moment deliver a speech about the winner
1848s using Hearthstone references I think the
1850s spirit of it is that it should be
1852s glowing and complementary and generally
1854s positive you know not just uh not just
1856s writing a diss track about the other
1858s person
1861s which I think we'd both enjoy enormously
1863s but yeah you know a bit of fun to hear
1866s Raven say some nice things about me
1867s tomorrow I'll make a change
1869s yeah I I am going for the uh not much to
1873s lose because I think people expect me to
1875s lose and have to do it but everything to
1877s gain because we could immortalize subtle
1880s right in a very complimentary speech
1882s about me which I think uh would be
1883s pretty great but that's enough about
1885s those two let's talk about the players
1887s we have on board for today kicking it
1889s off of course with group a and I just
1891s can't wait to get him into this honestly
1893s Soul because I think the players we have
1895s here are simply fantastic there's a lot
1898s of returning faces and uh once again
1900s Japan just showing their domination
1902s overall yeah four out of eight players I
1905s think in this group coming from Japan
1906s really one of the hotbeds of
1909s Battlegrounds one of the hotbeds of
1910s hearthstone in general because they
1911s became a real force in constructed as
1913s well kind of over the same time period
1915s in the last couple of years some are the
1917s same players with some of them yeah I
1919s mean or just what a hero right absolute
1922s legend of the game in every format at
1924s this point a special shout out to
1925s penguin Sun as well former Lobby Legends
1927s winner and I think now making his fifth
1929s appearance in lobby Legends finals
1932s overall so uh congratulations to him
1934s wonderful performance but some pretty
1936s stacked roster in here overall
1938s yeah really really impressive I can't
1941s wait to get going but we did mention
1942s this earlier of course we are going into
1944s this tournament with its relatively
1946s fresh meta with a lot of new minions and
1948s you can just see some of the key ones we
1951s think are going to create a huge impact
1952s in the tournament over the course of
1955s this weekend uh favorite for me will be
1956s that scrap scraper I didn't really
1958s respect the power of this card until I
1961s started you know forcing it to practice
1962s mechs I was like wow this actually just
1964s opens up the minion type yeah tethis as
1967s well filling the Gap left by hogar in
1970s terms of huge stat build APM Economy
1973s based pirate build still scratching that
1975s itch for the players that like it and of
1977s course rylack as well like honestly I
1979s would delay the start of the tournament
1981s by about 25 minutes if I started talking
1983s about it everything you could do with
1986s this card uh hopefully we get to see it
1988s used to its uh its full power level as
1991s things go on and we can start to point
1992s out just some of the things that card
1994s can do because it is endless yeah and I
1998s think I think we will for sure see that
2000s because the stuff I see all the time
2001s that I never even think about I will
2003s check out the fantasy picks as well as
2005s I'll mentioned this earlier of course
2007s the fantasy fix being fairly
2008s straightforward pick players that you
2010s think will do well and let's take a look
2012s do you want to take us through your
2013s pixel uh no because those aren't correct
2016s either
2018s oh okay well mine are so I'll go through
2021s mine go ahead Saul's just trying to just
2023s change his mind all the time he's just
2025s scouting out wants to do late delayed
2027s changes we'll see how that plays out but
2028s again we talked about our team who won
2030s not just a great amazing Battlegrounds
2033s player but just an all-time great
2034s Hearthstone player so I couldn't not
2035s pick other team who there and then we
2037s look at Matsuri and beat about it just a
2041s couple of just super strong players and
2043s I just think when you look at these
2044s three it's difficult for me to imagine
2046s the world where you know at least two of
2048s them don't do incredibly well yeah so I
2051s have gone for a penguin Waterloo and be
2054s about there you go perfect fix on the
2056s Fly
2057s um penguin as I mentioned just an
2059s incredibly good repeat performer I have
2061s to put him on here Waterloo kind of the
2063s same deal uh Waterloo is a former winner
2066s and this is now third Lobby Legends
2067s performance for them as well Peter
2070s Babbitt not quite that level of pedigree
2072s but I think uh one of the players that
2074s we do know if we're going to venture
2076s outside of Japan beta Babbitt is one of
2079s those players that were like okay that
2081s he he really really has a chance to make
2083s a huge impact on uh on proceedings so
2085s he's kind of my Wild Card pick if you
2088s consider like a player from outside of
2089s Japan to be a wild card pick which it
2092s kind of is at this point and that's the
2094s thing I'm looking forward to just an
2095s extra thing to keep an eye on as we
2096s progress through the groups and through
2098s Sunday of course is just what Sundays
2100s eight are going to even look like
2102s because that could just be just APAC
2106s domination or just specifically Japan uh
2108s domination over there so that could be
2110s really spicy indeed because they just
2112s keep showing that they're just the best
2113s region right now yes there are some
2115s fantastic European uh and of course you
2117s know America's players and so on but
2119s it's just not as impressive as these uh
2122s Japanese players that just keep coming
2123s back you know Time After Time After Time
2125s I think it shows just not only how well
2128s they can perform in a tournament setting
2130s but just the the grind right like sort
2133s of The Daily Grind of Just Landing those
2135s top placements and point earnings on
2137s those battlegrounds Sunset Seasons
2139s because that it's so competitive it's
2141s unbelievable yeah and also you know when
2144s I talk about repeat performances uh last
2147s year especially to get on camera they
2150s had to go through a qualifying group a
2152s lot of the time so they were all
2153s um these players that came up on stream
2155s over and over again were not only
2156s finishing on top of ladder consistently
2158s they were then getting through a whole
2160s qualifying Lobby very consistently as
2161s well to make it to this point so
2163s fantastic level of consistency from a
2165s lot of these players and it looks like
2167s we are ready to let's go let's go okay
2170s so it's gonna be the first game of Lobby
2173s a so it'll take me through some of the
2174s highlights
2176s stay away and stay away I don't want you
2180s to qualify for the fantasy picks but I
2182s do want you to win this specific game
2185s okay do me a favor oh yeah hang on we're
2187s already torn right because I want
2189s penguin sun to win because uh fantasy
2192s team predictions I don't want penguin
2194s Santa Winks it ruin my puzzle yes
2196s okay well on this note remember it is
2199s now currently term one if you want
2200s maximum bandwagon picks you want to get
2203s your bandwagon choice in this turn
2205s before the end of turn one you have 19
2206s seconds to do so for maximum picks
2210s already locked mine in
2213s I am good to go yeah looking at some of
2215s these as well I'll take a look at what's
2218s even in the uh in the minion Types on
2221s offer as well we can see the uh the
2224s quill bars in there just for a start as
2225s well as pirates
2228s have been really impressing me lately so
2233s yeah Max I would say I I thought there
2236s was a lot of work when I saw how much
2238s magnetic Synergy how much mechs leaned
2240s into magnetics in this uh minion remix I
2243s thought there was a lot of work to do
2244s because magnetic kind of has this
2246s inherent downside of it's a buff you
2249s can't sell so essentially they each cost
2252s one more gold right because you you know
2253s you buy a mug or a jug or whatever you
2256s buy it you get the bath you sell it back
2257s again whereas a magnetic minion you
2259s magnetize it it stays on your board you
2260s don't get to sell it therefore slightly
2262s more expensive than anything else oh
2263s hello
2264s um so I thought there was a lot of work
2266s to be done with Mech specifically to be
2268s able to get that done and boy have they
2270s actually done it I think scrap scraper
2271s in particular is the absolute core card
2274s I think if you don't have scrap scraper
2276s you're not mixed it used to be the way
2278s we're like oh I hit a couple of
2279s deflectos on Tavern three I'm meched now
2282s I'll lean into mechs I don't think
2284s that's the case anymore I think you have
2285s to be seeing scrap scraper before you
2287s decide that you're mixed but if you do
2288s hit that card they can absolutely get
2291s some work done yep and I might be
2293s heartbroken because we will just get
2295s this confirmed but I think we've come
2296s out the game because I believe tomb did
2298s not connect oh no yeah we might have to
2301s make a regame uh we will have to see uh
2304s obviously we'll get everything confirmed
2305s for you shortly but I believe that is
2306s correct so I'm already I feel like I
2309s should get some points because we had
2310s Etc on the board there and I voted for
2312s that for the uh my bandwagon pick as
2314s well so
2315s um but we'll see how that's gonna go but
2317s just talk about scrap scraper I do think
2319s one of the benefits as well is a lot of
2321s the these I feel like you've got a lot
2324s of options in the early game to pay off
2327s avenge as well right there are just a
2329s good cards that help with events like
2331s naturally so if you see that scrap
2333s scraper early-ish you probably or at
2336s least are likely to have a board that
2337s can at least start getting that ball
2339s rolling before you get hold of the mix
2340s yeah there's a little bit of RNG to it
2343s in terms of what your first
2345s um avenge drops from the scrap scraper
2347s are right like if you just have a board
2349s with like a taunted Harvest Golem uh
2352s maybe a risen Rider or something like
2353s that on the board and you get like two
2354s avenge drops from your first fight say
2356s you get replicating Menace from one of
2358s those very first drops now suddenly
2359s you're in business right because that
2361s replicating Menace just adds so many
2362s tokens to your next fight and it just
2364s Stacks exponentially over and over and
2366s over if you get to that point where
2367s you're getting three or four procs and
2369s then you golden the scrap scraper and
2370s you're getting five six seven procs and
2372s then you're starting to get the mechs
2373s that give you plus one gold every turn
2375s you're dropping that with polarized
2377s beatboxer on the board so every plus one
2379s Gold Mech that you attach is copying
2381s once or twice with however many beatbox
2382s as you have and suddenly you're just
2385s having a turn where you start with 20
2387s gold and 10 cards in your hand every
2389s turn like that's a very realistic late
2391s game that can come out of a Mech
2393s situation and as you know Raven I'm a
2395s sucker for any comp that ends up with me
2397s starting a turd with 10 cards in my head
2399s yeah it's my absolute favorite sent me
2401s many screenshots of various different uh
2404s cards wasn't what I said I had eight
2406s bone mares in my hand or something like
2408s that it was stupid yes uh just before we
2411s you know we are trying to sort out this
2413s uh game getting going of course for you
2414s guys so you know trust us we're on it
2416s means
2418s people who know more than those are
2420s running and look just before we get into
2422s it because it was something I did want
2423s to ask you in previous Lobby Legends
2425s we've seen that
2427s certain like metas feel like super
2429s aggressive like players playing really
2431s to not lose as opposed to strictly win
2433s which is more relevant in actual
2435s Battlegrounds and it's in standard
2437s um do you think that's going to be the
2438s case with like you know sort of
2439s prediction before we kick off the date I
2441s think we're going to see aggressive
2442s lines or do you think we're gonna see
2444s some greedy players kicking out uh today
2447s I think Spike to win like greedy plays
2450s oh it's better it's yes tomb gets
2453s rewarded by finding an Etc okay fair
2456s enough
2457s um for me like spiking win conditions
2459s and snowballing is a little too powerful
2461s in this meta personally having said that
2463s I have gone for the yes on 18 turns or
2466s more which is a little bit contradictory
2467s but what I will say is tournaments tend
2471s to dictate themselves uh I remember in
2474s the global Invitational for example we
2475s were all expecting really fast games uh
2478s with milking dazzling lights born into
2481s huge Elementals for example and instead
2483s what everyone did was take mechano tanks
2485s and soul jugglers and yes make a Tempo
2488s everyone for the entire game and just 15
2491s people that were trying to milk over and
2493s over again so you kind of have to wait I
2495s feel like day one dictates day two in in
2498s Battlegrounds tournaments a lot of the
2500s time so we'll we'll wait and see how
2501s things pan out
2502s okay so just checking out some of the
2504s heroes there is that dinathuria somu
2506s Mill House a tomb of course on
2509s Etc uh Gulf hook Tusk tamzin and uh
2514s blank on a good day
2517s wait how am I forgetting the brand
2520s wait oh sorry that's brown we're looking
2522s at it I thought it was um
2524s tavish I was looking at the Ike on the
2527s left I didn't realize
2529s okay I'm in
2532s yes uh so I'll enjoys Milhouse from our
2535s practice sessions especially when it's
2537s got the uh the good minion types and
2539s would you say these are good minion
2540s types uh good many types good Star as
2543s well economy start so term one he's
2546s essentially or two minions and saved two
2549s gold right he got an economy minion with
2551s the Naga and then he bought oh my
2552s goodness second reroll Elementor and
2554s then bought the second the reroll
2555s Elementor so he now saves two gold on a
2557s roll at some point over the course of
2559s the game now has the opportunity to pick
2560s that up as a pair as well which is very
2563s appealing and could be strong enough now
2566s to pick up a turn to upbeat front Drake
2568s as well to get even more economy rolling
2571s uh on that
2573s a Millhouse start which is kind of what
2575s you want early and I think then when you
2576s get to Tavern 2 you have the triple Buy
2578s on Tavern 2 where everyone else only
2580s gets to buy two uh which I think sets
2584s you ahead a little bit on Tempo so you
2586s can afford to be a little bit greedy
2587s with those 101 minutes
2589s and a little bit of a fair amount of
2591s players actually just going a little bit
2593s wider not necessarily going for the uh
2595s the auto level on turn two yes three
2599s players staying on one hook does make
2601s sense hook Tusk is almost a fairly
2603s mandatory tab in one game and when you
2605s have economy in on Tavern one uh bran
2607s has probably seen some Battle Cry
2609s Minions on Tavern one which is why we're
2610s staying here and then Milhouse will have
2612s taken the level this turn it looks like
2614s uh instead of buying the uh the
2616s refreshing anomaly pair yeah brand got
2619s refreshing and then um the coin Naga as
2621s well uh so that kind of makes sense
2624s now back to our Milhouse once again and
2626s again another nice offering of a minions
2628s here for uh
2636s Elemental is free there is no point in
2639s time where you should not buy sell or
2640s seller mental that is particularly true
2642s it used to be true for slightly more
2644s nebulous reasons that you'd have to go
2645s into the weeds to explain uh now there's
2647s literally an elemental in the game that
2649s gets bigger the more Elementals you've
2650s played over the course of the game so
2651s there is literally zero reason to not
2654s ever buy sell a settlement or if you're
2655s Milhouse
2658s we see all the timu on that tams in uh
2661s what are the is there any standout
2663s specific combos you want with Tamsin you
2666s know uh specific Minions that you want
2668s to hit specific you know any crazy
2669s outcomes with that hero power there can
2671s be um obviously turret ghoster for
2673s example will retain the the in combat
2675s Buffs which is very very nice if you can
2677s get that going uh but I think in general
2679s it's just really really good early Tempo
2681s it's a it's a press the button and level
2683s kind of hero right you just get strong
2685s with those early minions uh and then
2686s just try and pump up as hard as you can
2688s uh here we go tomb has gone three on
2691s three with the ETC here you are
2693s generally looking for an economy outcome
2695s here off the first hero power when you
2696s go three on three loyal henchman looks
2699s kinda perfect does rely on you killing
2701s two minions in this situation off the
2703s first outcome but you should be
2704s absolutely fine doing that I think and
2707s turns down the greedy opportunity for
2709s one of the best triples in the game uh
2711s with the two ones instead going for
2713s Tempo with the extra tarragosa which I
2715s think is very wise in that situation
2717s just wanting to secure your situation of
2719s killing two minions and picking up the
2720s uh the extra Minion from the refund body
2722s yeah
2723s a bit about it here having all the
2726s resources in the world as is often the
2727s case with hook Tusk it's kind of what
2729s you're aiming for
2731s this is an incredibly difficult hook
2733s test turn by the way because what do you
2735s he's already hero powered okay fine that
2737s makes life a little bit simpler fine
2742s go for the level holder and your coin
2743s level Yep this makes sense to me
2746s and how far do you think be a Babbitt's
2748s gonna push this triple
2752s it's gonna be at least another level
2753s right yeah one more I would imagine uh
2756s especially when it is a settlemental
2758s settlemental triple when you have all
2759s three already bought and on the board
2761s like this tends to be the triple you are
2763s the greediest with because you don't one
2765s of the downsides that people
2768s Overlook when they're greeting triples
2770s is that you know you level to Tavern
2772s three and then you level to Tavern four
2773s but you've kept a Tavern two Shop Frozen
2776s that entire time so you never get to see
2778s any new more power oh my goodness uh so
2781s you know back back
2785s okay
2786s we can figure
2788s out you took it a minute uh what happens
2789s here with beta is way more important I
2792s think it's probably freezing Greed for
2795s the double triple
2796s um
2798s okay hook task having a normal one as
2801s always entirely standard hooked us game
2804s oh my I love how beta just has no
2807s reaction to this whatsoever just stop
2809s says turn five this is every game I play
2812s so you're gonna have to level take a
2814s four right or are you just gonna get
2815s smacked there's an option you could just
2817s choose to get smacked and hold the
2818s triple and take two fives next time but
2821s I think I think it's a four
2823s The Four's good because there are some
2824s really good fours we will talk about
2826s this earlier right there's some really
2827s good fours in the game
2829s oh
2830s balladist for some Tempo to defend yeah
2833s I kind of like this because now you can
2835s almost sell out get the triple buy one
2838s more yeah exactly this now you can greed
2841s right using this Tempo to defend really
2842s really like this play yep yeah 419 well
2845s the four might not look like much but
2847s it's enough to kill things at this point
2848s in the game of the 19 Health definitely
2850s gonna help out
2852s oh okay I just glanced over and in a
2855s minute I'm sure we'll get shown good
2856s done it's bored because uh
2858s a lot of pairs going on over there so
2860s okay yes and we are fine for another Etc
2863s buddy update now if you would like
2868s yeah they did get hit but only four from
2870s the natural is not the end of the world
2873s oh what was the choice here must have
2875s died in combat so picked up the
2878s maxlinger is that what it's called
2880s uh every time you play a minion add a
2882s minion to the shop that is buffed
2886s I'm gonna take the tavern four option
2888s now looking for some more economy likely
2891s Hunter of old gives you the Brand's epic
2895s egg at the end of this fight anyway
2896s because you're fighting against bran
2898s next
2899s wow just gonna go Max
2901s Wow Let's go okay one of the things one
2905s of the things you will learn about media
2906s viewers is I'm incredibly greedy and if
2909s a card says economy on it in any way I
2911s will tend to pick that over anything
2912s else
2914s yeah and this has got done it's bored so
2916s Brandon here a few pairs oh did just hit
2918s the uh the shell collector actually yeah
2921s so that's gonna be nice for the extra
2922s triple it's also Mega Money yeah
2926s and good tempo as well right these
2928s murlocs are getting buffed all uh with
2930s every one of these yeah with double
2931s whelp Smuggler this is actually such a
2933s good setup for good dummit
2937s because it is allowing him to do very
2939s greedy things with the triples
2941s okay I mean now now God damn it is just
2944s huge for the next probably two or three
2945s turns at this point yeah
2947s can use all of that gold on leveling now
2949s from this point you would imagine
2952s okay Penguin on the gulf now
2954s that's one of your favorite cards all
2956s markers are yep dancing markers are good
2959s good card even here you can see no demon
2961s Synergy uh just having it on board at
2963s the moment to have the option to pay
2966s health for roles instead of gold which
2967s is uh something that is generally a
2970s trade you'll take in most spots
2973s and I think beat a Babbitt will be
2975s disappointed here to have run into such
2977s a Tempo King on this turn uh having
2979s looked to try and defend some of that
2981s Tempo earlier
2983s with the balladist yeah Seven's
2985s upsetting as well isn't it without
2986s amount of damage coming through it's a
2988s little bit rough yep
2991s and uh not looking great for my
2994s bandwagon pick so far Shiro is down in
2997s eighth place with 12 hp vulnerable to
2999s the damage cap right now
3005s oh percussionist with an urzel very nice
3010s and take a little bit of hit for it but
3012s good stats oh
3015s Battle Master Synergy take four damage
3017s discovering it so it's bigger yeah okay
3018s I mean this this does seem more sensible
3023s k
3024s would you like the world's biggest
3026s pirate
3031s well done this turn or is there it's
3034s probably way too greedy to freeze right
3037s I don't know
3038s 23. I just thought like if you just buy
3041s other stuff freeze and then you can just
3044s retain it for extra gold next turn and
3046s then you just go for a six like that
3049s could really open up the game for me
3050s about it yeah the problem is the six is
3053s it still wasn't clean the next turn
3055s um tavin up would still be nine on the
3057s next turn so you'd have to sell minions
3059s you actually care about
3062s um to get over the line to a six which I
3063s think is probably what put him off a
3065s little bit in the end
3068s it's like Waterloo it's gonna get a one
3070s cleavy boy ready though it'd be quite
3073s nice for that 11 damage spread
3076s not so early uh light Fang as well not
3079s doing well doing a good chunk of work
3081s this definitely feels and you know this
3083s is not a negative but definitely feels
3086s like uh Waterloo just saying you know
3087s what I'm holding pressure and get people
3089s out of this game
3092s yeah just pick up a cleave dump some
3094s Duff some Buffs on it and just try and
3096s murder as many people as you can before
3098s you start falling behind on Tempo I
3099s don't think that's a bad plan at all at
3101s this point but again we are seeing golf
3102s it's just absolutely obliterate everyone
3105s so far that's like penguin's gonna just
3108s crunch everyone
3109s well I was down to six no yes no Shiro
3114s live
3117s we take a look at what's cooking over in
3119s Shiro land oh not a lot double reroll
3121s Elemental as well I'd such a good uh so
3125s close yeah such a good Elemental setup
3127s you just have to stay alive and that's
3129s the problem that Shiro's having right
3131s now though although this is really
3133s really nice okay he has to Turbo through
3135s this turn but plenty of Buffs coming in
3138s rolled a six drop into an Uther though
3140s which is an absolute abject disaster of
3143s course would have been looking for some
3144s serious Tempo there Peggy Peggy with the
3147s cleave
3148s you dump the other Pirates now to just
3150s fully Bank the Buffs on the cleave I
3153s think maybe you do well I think think
3155s about here as well is uh Cheryl's going
3157s against dinathrius once again we just
3159s saw Waterloo although he did lose to the
3160s gulf whoa It's competitive on board
3163s passed a murmured on there as well which
3166s is a double buff from Peggy because of
3168s the spellcraft going into your hand and
3170s then also plus attack for the cleave
3171s that you had
3174s a little bit surprised at that one
3176s another patient Scout huge extra Peggy
3179s value you love to see it
3182s refreshing anomaly doesn't matter but
3184s it's an elemental
3186s gets the roll through this is a good
3187s turn this is a good turn Shiro coming in
3190s clutch
3193s yeah with turns like these they're maybe
3195s not quite as crazy as the old pirate
3197s turns but um you still want them to be
3200s clean right and I think if anything this
3201s was very clean for manager
3206s IUS because there's also cleave on that
3209s side right oh not anymore oh okay well
3212s that was a big one
3214s still the one Health on the uh remember
3215s them though
3217s fellow Shiro Believers you have been
3220s rewarded for your faith
3223s oh you love to see it and I think that
3226s was the crucial fight for Shiro to live
3228s now because Shiro can get huge very
3230s quickly now with the setup that he has
3232s oh that's who he's about to get slapped
3234s that is a lot of damage that is a lot of
3237s damage I like this actually stay with
3239s tomb for this turn see what he is
3241s cooking
3243s nothing oppressive yet what's this turn
3246s nine Etc you can definitely have some
3248s real disgusting setups built already
3250s when you have the good stuff uh from Etc
3253s at this point yeah not really hitting
3255s Tavern four hitting a bunch of tab and
3257s two and tapping three bodies having to
3259s take zamzorak body which is I want to
3263s say it's kind of a consolation prize but
3265s it kind of is it's the kind of Buddy you
3267s put on your board and you wait to get
3268s ice block and then you get rid of it a
3269s lot of the time like that's the kind of
3271s the situation which is fine like that's
3273s a good play for plus MMR No Doubt
3279s oh
3283s uh anyone got uh God damn it in their
3286s bandwagons because uh you're looking
3288s pretty good right now watch them on turn
3289s nine no unfortunately uh turn four was
3293s the cut off yeah okay yeah shame yep Etc
3297s letting me down oh they've seen that too
3299s it's currently third so it's even though
3302s uh that doesn't truly represent board
3304s power of course
3307s all right so good time I guess to go
3309s through two of the best scaling comps in
3311s the game if you haven't played much
3312s Battlegrounds during the minion remix uh
3315s calagos has now been changed well twice
3317s in fact but the major change being uh
3319s instead of when you play a Battle Cry
3321s minion give your dragons plus one plus
3322s one it's whenever you activate a Battle
3325s Cry give your minions plus one plus one
3327s so that means for example if you have
3329s bran your Battle Cry happens twice so
3331s calagos activates twice means if you
3333s have a rylack on board rylac activates
3336s battle cries when it dies therefore
3338s kalagos will be activated uh murkai
3341s activates the Battle Cry of the thing
3342s that's next to it that would procalagos
3344s essentially calicos got a lot lot better
3347s what you're now seeing is beta Babbitt
3349s going into the uh that's admirable
3351s Zamora uh build with Fleet admirable
3353s tethis this is kind of the replacement
3355s for hogar allowing you to go infinite by
3358s essentially uh giving yourself a free
3360s pirate of every eight gold you spend
3362s which with uh exponential copies of that
3365s same card can allow you to go in in the
3367s very same way and then you use other
3369s Pirates to support that to continue to
3371s buff your board but while all of that
3373s explanation was happening we have two
3375s very dead players right fantasy teams in
3378s shambles
3380s wait are they both your parents
3382s let's go
3385s huge win for the sort of fans in chat
3387s all two of you congratulations it's a
3390s good day
3393s oh okay oh it's it's always Milhouse
3397s Raven It's always Milhouse at no point
3400s in history is it not been Milhouse
3403s okay
3405s uh oh that was blessing so again quick
3408s recap for chat what you are doing here
3410s is using the tavern extension that you
3412s will see over the on the overlay over
3413s twitch just pick the player that you
3415s think is going to win this direct head
3416s to head and we will try to do the same
3418s you have until the end of the shop phase
3420s which I suggest you wait as long as you
3422s dare because you know late rolls could
3424s make a whole lot of difference
3430s for the trouble oh this is intense
3432s actually
3433s she glanced at both bullets I'm like and
3436s they just keep on getting bigger
3438s there's still 30 seconds
3440s oh Leroy at the end
3443s with the mono torn as it stands
3447s 35 attack cleave kills all but one
3451s minion after the
3453s uh as all has gone down
3459s yeah I think I'm leaning Shiro USA on
3461s this one
3462s and me too but the
3464s 100 health there is a hundred Health
3467s you're right so it's like
3469s oh it's so difficult but that's why I
3471s like it this is what Battlegrounds is
3473s all about right
3474s yeah second Leroy as well the stealth on
3477s the hundred Health has actually changed
3479s my mind at the very last second as well
3481s because that now pretty much guarantees
3482s that it just hangs around and cleans up
3484s everything I think with the way this
3485s goes can I get a time check to see if
3488s salt was in this or not it's a tie it's
3491s a
3498s okay
3500s so show now again just wanting to hang
3503s on but has all the the juice in the
3505s world went over to tomb there oh no
3509s and that does not look like there's an
3510s ice block active well no that should
3513s still be okay okay yeah tie with a
3515s competitive Spirit competitive Spirit
3517s pretty much irrelevant at this stage of
3518s the game but you'll take it I guess and
3520s for ETC oh right oh
3524s yes uh Brown being a huge card with this
3526s build as well for a couple of reasons
3528s you're seeing already there you go
3529s Tavern Tempest uh free you play it you
3532s spits two cards back into your hand uh
3534s General drakasath also free you play it
3536s it's bits two cards back into your hand
3538s so not only is that free goal being
3540s spent for admirable that you get back
3542s immediately it's also three procs on a
3546s golden Peggy that is juicing the rest of
3548s your Pirates while it's going and you're
3550s getting plus one plus one on the 31 28
3553s every time you sell each of those tokens
3555s that comes from each of those cards so
3557s bran is the absolute dream card for what
3560s beta is looking at on these roles
3562s yeah this is looking absolutely brutal
3564s isn't it and the thing is as well
3566s Babbitt's against Ghost this round so
3569s you know it could be pretty free with
3571s what they want to do obviously they'll
3572s be playing this you know pretty
3573s optimally but just knowing that you've
3576s got a
3577s the assumed leeway of not having to have
3580s the utmost perfect amount oh second
3583s admirable
3587s what's the
3588s cut though or is it just a hold here
3591s it may be a hole just for this turn yeah
3595s um because he's fairly infinite anyway
3596s for the rest of this term with the
3598s situation that he's in like when I say
3599s infinite for this turn he has enough
3601s gold that he can spend in four seconds
3603s there's no point in getting another
3605s Admiral on the board because he he'll
3607s make too much money to spend in the code
3608s in this uh four seconds anyway like
3610s there you go literally ropes out as he
3612s goes down to zero gold essentially so
3614s works out perfectly
3616s yeah remember when penguin song was big
3623s it's starting to get slightly outscaled
3625s although I always remembered when um God
3627s done it was big because those all those
3628s pairs really really stacked up with that
3630s brand yeah the uh and it was the the
3633s double Sky fin on board which is
3635s obviously still there and then tripling
3637s the Naga into a mug was so huge like I
3641s said that that let
3643s um God damn it just be powerful just be
3645s a head-on tempo for like two or three
3646s straight turns just level level and then
3648s look for calagos and that seems to be
3650s exactly what happened
3652s Milhouse hanging on there for sure
3655s to him now gonna be dropping down to 10
3658s I think that was
3660s a good done I mean this is the problem
3662s and and for for Tomb on the um on the
3665s ETC is there anything that can like
3667s clutch late game with Etc or is all
3670s there is not front loaded but you know
3672s more lent towards the early game you so
3675s there's not like a buddy you can just
3677s find a lot of time where it's like okay
3678s I've gone from weak to strong
3679s immediately
3681s um there is a couple like Sylvanas buddy
3683s for example if you have one huge minion
3685s condensed it's uh it's kind of like a
3687s mutinous body power where you take one
3689s one minion and put it deposits its stats
3692s on two other minions you essentially uh
3694s double your trouble but you can find
3695s things like ticketus buddy for example
3697s and then you discover that you sell it
3700s and then you have an ice block all of a
3701s sudden like that kind of thing right
3702s ways to to scam in situations like that
3704s same thing with York buddy and so you do
3707s have certainly have tricks that you can
3709s do in the late Gamers Etc but it's rare
3711s that if you didn't find your like hyper
3713s economy win condition between turns five
3716s and ten or so it's rare that you'll then
3719s be able to catch up on numbers uh by
3722s that point kind of just looking for more
3723s survival techniques
3727s it's looking close as well here look at
3729s basically all the players except for
3731s good running are pretty much dead right
3734s on the next loss at 10 I think is just
3737s an acceptable number to expect to drop
3738s to at this point a penguin is going to
3740s be able to get the ghost now so that's
3742s going to be a huge help yeah penguins
3744s surviving against God damn it was so
3746s huge because now God damn it will kill
3749s someone else for penguin and penguin
3751s gets to fight a ghost and essentially
3752s scam two positions out of that marginal
3755s survival right and uh yeah I mean look
3757s at where tomb's at right like he has
3759s given up at this point this is rolling
3761s for an ice block and I guess we will
3763s find out whether that pink secret nope
3765s no it's not it's a splitting image but
3767s he's gonna have one more shot of three
3769s more secrets to try and find himself an
3772s ice block or else this is cooked
3778s meanwhile Shiro goes down okay my uh my
3782s bandwagon pick for the game uh only
3784s makes it out in fifth place
3786s hopefully we can go back to tomb and see
3788s if there is an ice block here oh no the
3790s Barons are gonna die the Barons are
3792s gonna die before Oh no okay what I
3794s believe I believe what else what else
3798s oh it's pink
3800s it's pink
3802s all right for it
3805s no
3807s unlucky okay so that's both of us out
3810s for the band plugin though uh final
3812s final three gonna be penguin a bit about
3814s it and good
3819s oh that's hilarious as well good Donuts
3821s on the uh
3822s uh on the coast so just I'll let the two
3825s of the minions fight each other for the
3828s second place and this is what I mean
3830s right like this is Battleground
3831s sometimes this is just great match up
3833s RNG for penguin Sun a little bit of good
3835s fight RNG survived the fight against
3837s goddammit who is the bully of the lobby
3839s at the moment absolutely murdering
3841s everyone because he survived on 2 Hp he
3843s then got to watch two other people die
3845s while he fought a ghost like if we could
3847s just flick through the three boards at
3848s the end of this before the end of this
3850s turn you'll see one of these people is
3852s not like the other right like yeah you
3854s there you go there's one you know it's
3855s it's it's just wait what Hang on
3859s we're only just finishing so okay yeah
3863s beta Babbitt has got animation lag
3864s because of all the million things that
3866s he's doing on his term with pirates and
3868s so on it happens he's a little bit
3870s behind the lobby right now so he's still
3871s in his fight with uh with two but there
3873s you go you can see one of these things
3875s not like the other just significantly
3878s smaller than everyone else
3880s yeah right back
3883s well I think these if these are your bad
3886s games right you know in terms of
3888s strength of board yeah then this is what
3891s you want to convert your bad games into
3893s yes of course as you mentioned you know
3896s a little bit um fortunate that always
3898s helps in Battlegrounds of course but in
3900s general if these are the low rolls then
3903s if you can get one really strong game
3905s and pay it off then that means penguin's
3907s gonna put himself in a great position to
3908s qualify at the group
3910s [Music]
3911s I wonder if uh beta Babbitt still thinks
3914s he's fighting uh the the tomb right now
3917s well his his game's actually just in a
3919s completely different might think he's
3920s fighting other team yeah who knows
3924s oh sick I killed Matsuri nice
3928s two hours later
3931s yeah not quite enough I would say to
3934s take the uh Victory here but still I
3936s think a strong finish for penguin
3938s considering his uh his board state
3945s and a strong finish game one for uh
3949s Souls fantasy picks as well penguin
3951s signing third is my fantasy team beat
3952s about it in top two is in my fantasy
3954s team pretty happy with that so far yeah
3956s hi hi yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but
3960s moving on I have beat above it okay
3962s that's something right yeah yeah
3965s sorry come on guys
3968s don't let me down
3970s yeah this is looking strong it's kind of
3972s interesting as well look at this like
3974s Pirates
3975s have I would say you know gotten there
3977s right it's not over yet we don't know
3979s who was one yet oh yes but Pirate's
3981s looking quite strong from game one and
3983s then I think I've done it just
3986s yes this is dragons but this definitely
3988s felt like more of a bran effect than the
3990s dragon effect right now yeah I mean the
3992s locks of course so that's the thing bran
3995s doubles your caloric ghost now right so
3997s yeah having one calicos with a brand is
4000s like having two calicos but as soon as
4002s you then find an actual second calicos
4004s that bran is means you have four calicos
4007s so you kind of get this weird
4008s exponential growth thing where if you
4010s then triple the cow that goes you have
4011s six you find a fourth one you have eight
4013s and so on and so forth like well
4014s actually no tripling is still double but
4016s you get the point of what I'm saying
4018s um so the brand is a entirely crucial
4022s point
4023s uh to this comp now
4025s um doubly so because of that effect I
4028s was talking about before where you get
4029s like general drakasath for example and
4031s then having the brand is actually giving
4032s you extra money on top of the extra
4034s products that you're getting from the
4035s calicos as well yeah I think I've done
4037s it just uh had the perfect combination
4040s of a strong opening uh with the murlocs
4044s of course and being Brown and then hit
4047s when he needed to and these are really
4049s stacked out of control
4054s uh looks like the slight issue with the
4056s discovers yeah just going to pick up an
4057s Uther here just because it says Battle
4058s Cry on it so assuming that means uh
4060s whiffed on calicos and nadina I think
4062s Nadine are probably being the number one
4064s motivation there as to why that triple
4066s was taken Divine Shields can really be
4069s the kicker here against Pirates on the
4071s other side who have significantly less
4073s access uh to those pirates to those
4076s Divine Shield options
4078s well Cleve didn't uh doesn't hit us hard
4081s at nine was it against the sport well so
4083s again I think that was because of the
4086s threat of nadina yo yeah yeah if you
4088s look at them to see without an Adidas
4090s yeah
4091s if you look at the way that board was
4093s positioned it was small taunted selfless
4096s in the middle so ideally a Divine Shield
4099s Dragon would attack into that and then
4101s it was also mid-positioned small cleave
4103s so hopefully you let the nadina go off
4105s and then that small cleave would come in
4107s and take off a couple of divine Shields
4108s so uh really good foresight from B to
4111s Babbitt even though the nadina has not
4113s been found for God damn it in this
4115s situation
4116s yeah it's kind of interesting now as
4117s well because what is the game plan we
4119s talked a little bit about this uh before
4121s we even live uh where how do you react
4125s to your opponent what are some of the
4127s tools because you know way back when a
4129s lot of discussion was Leroy manted
4131s poison Divine Shield stuff but what is
4134s it for example in this situation what
4136s can good do uh considering they did just
4138s lose that fight
4140s I mean nadina is still the number one
4142s out which I think is why it's leveling
4145s here you have two roles for nadina and I
4147s think that's what god dammit has taken
4148s the shot for
4150s um but not having found it I think we're
4152s now in a spot where he is just gonna be
4154s resigned to his fate just kind of
4156s smaller across the board than uh what
4158s beat is doing on the other side and beta
4161s has another essentially infinite turn to
4164s make as many more stats as he possibly
4166s can over the course of 80 Seconds
4167s whereas uh God dammits economy is just
4169s not quite there and this is where the
4172s difference of like I would say it's kind
4174s of the beta version of this comp the
4176s Alpha version of this comp has rylack in
4178s it because rylack with drakasath can be
4181s putting 10 to one Dragon tokens into
4184s your hand at the end of every turn which
4185s then gives you three triples and plus
4187s four gold to start the term with as well
4190s as the gold you're potentially getting
4191s from the discovers so you can then have
4193s infinite calicos infinite nadinas
4195s infinite gold whatever and you can
4196s actually compete on Raw stats with
4199s What's Happening Here
4201s and let's see what will no doubt be the
4204s final fight as some of the uh the the
4206s cleave actually gets some work done
4208s there
4210s yeah just full preparation there for a
4212s bit about it for anything that the uh
4214s the the dragons could have kicked out
4216s and it's gonna be a victory to be a
4218s Barbie and that's absolutely huge and
4220s also disappointing because after seeing
4221s the uh the early game I was gonna change
4225s and uh I did not so more fool me I'm a
4228s Noob at all of this but that's the way
4230s it goes are you think really cool game
4231s though and definitely setting the pace
4233s uh for the day so far and again just
4235s remind anyone who may have just joined
4237s us a little bit late that was just game
4238s one of this Lobby and they are gonna be
4240s playing three games with all their
4242s points Turtles added up to see uh who
4245s makes it on YouTube Sunday so a bit of a
4247s spicy one to kick off the day so yeah I
4249s think a pretty good sample of kind of
4251s one side of the meta game there we had
4253s Elementals Pirates dragons in that Lobby
4257s um with Milhouse brand hooked us kind of
4259s these economy Heroes all racing to spike
4262s those win conditions and then just be
4263s like the the Lord of economy in that
4266s game which ended up being Greek in the
4269s end
4269s um we do still have another side which
4271s is the more heavily token and summon
4273s based side of things with beasts
4274s potentially as well
4276s um with the minion remix we have so many
4278s new strategies that are available though
4280s I hope at least we get to see a nice
4282s range of uh minion types in and out
4284s throughout the day so we get to see some
4286s particularly different things for the
4287s players to shoot yeah we've got a whole
4289s weekend of Battlegrounds lined up and
4292s that was just game one but we'll be
4293s right back after this break with game
4295s two

4773s welcome back sorry about the slight
4775s delay there we're just now fixing our
4777s working on some small technical issues I
4779s think we are getting ready to go into
4781s game number two but before we do that I
4783s believe we have the updated standings
4785s for you guys of course it's just one
4786s game so if you remember where everyone
4788s finished you can probably guess what the
4790s numbers look like but regardless uh just
4793s to go over them again first place get
4794s seven points and then it will just go
4796s down by one point for each place so
4799s again I'm a little bit upset about where
4801s um my uh my fantasy 2 picks out of the
4804s three of Matt serial team who ended
4806s there but overall a couple of shared
4808s points as well subtle
4810s yeah good news I guess for them that
4812s they uh they went out tied for eight so
4814s they at least get the Half Point each
4815s but yeah big big Lobby for beta Babbitt
4818s and God damn it of course uh Penguins on
4821s as well doing very very nicely through
4822s uh just the survival of the fight
4824s against God damn it really and uh
4826s scooping up a couple of extra points uh
4828s for that and I think honestly sure USA
4830s as well um I'm I'm just gonna keep
4832s saying Shiro USA I can't I can't not see
4835s that as Brian kibler's dog in like a an
4838s old Sam Uncle Sam costume or something
4841s um but uh he had a real crucial survival
4844s moment as well right which I think
4845s elevated him from maybe one point and
4848s three and a half that he ended up
4849s getting so a couple of clutch fights for
4851s a couple of players really boosting
4852s their way up
4854s again again very generally speaking of
4856s course uh what this looks like for
4858s mainly beta Babbitt and good dummy is
4859s that if they just don't completely whiff
4862s the next two games they are probably
4865s looking pretty good to progress through
4867s because all you need to do in in today's
4869s play but with the two groups is do
4872s better than half of your group right you
4874s need to finish in that top four of
4875s overall points totals so when you get
4878s that first Lobby and you win the first
4880s game I'll come second like so many
4882s points that it gets to the point where
4884s it's possible but it's like it's getting
4887s quite difficult to not make top four
4889s especially because you know we know how
4890s good these players are
4891s yeah keep in mind as well uh one of the
4894s puzzle box questions for the day is will
4897s a player score less than four points in
4899s their group so we'll be looking at a
4901s couple of players there that went out
4902s with 0.5 uh two more games to pick up
4905s three and a half points in total to uh
4908s turn that into the no column so we'll
4909s see if that one pans out or not I don't
4911s know if I will financially recover from
4914s that happening because I said no players
4917s won't go out with that many points and
4919s currently the two that are in that sort
4920s of region are two of my fantasy picks
4925s I'm not very good at this it'll just be
4927s Ian feeling everywhere immediately I've
4930s got nothing left exactly all over me
4933s exactly I think the players are getting
4934s ready to go into game number two uh but
4937s is there any surprises that came out of
4939s game one there like did we it is ETC
4942s that look a little bit underpowered from
4944s what we would expect from the average
4946s Etc I would say yeah I mean I have
4948s questions we kind of
4950s um skip through it quite quickly so I
4952s didn't fully get to assess the board
4953s state but it was pair of muxlingers over
4957s uh test buddy which would have then
4959s given a brand buddy I believe with the
4961s way it would have worked out
4963s um at the start of the next term which
4964s is so much economy at the start of it
4967s every turn and that to me felt like a
4970s very economy lobby as I talked about
4972s before with like Elementals Pirates and
4974s Dragons All in there so
4976s um interesting the tomb chose to go so
4978s Tempo heavy uh on the ETC picks with the
4982s muxlinger pair
4983s um maybe that cost but otherwise I think
4985s when you looked at the minion types
4986s available in that Lobby I think that
4988s game largely went as you would have
4990s expected to yeah and I'm already happy
4991s with this Matt sorry picking up Foon
4993s looking quite good we see another game
4995s because well Galaxy
4997s move uh which is gonna be pretty nice as
5002s well like this is lining up at least
5003s quite well for me
5005s um Mitch King's in this lobby as well so
5008s Lich King over the gallywicks as well
5011s which yes I think Beast being in this
5012s Lobby is one of the crucial components
5014s of that uh because gallywix really wants
5017s to look for pirates tripling into that
5019s six finding the Admiral and then at that
5021s point you get infinite very very quickly
5024s oh I see the issue yeah looks like we
5026s might just be in trouble again yeah this
5029s could be yeah I think this to No
5032s Surprise it will be a research it looks
5034s like tomb I did wonder where all tomb's
5035s Hero choices were that seems a bit harsh
5037s just yeah you're not allowed to pick any
5039s about that so I I would assume we are
5042s going to do a remake again because they
5044s probably won't be able to connect in
5046s time as they already missed hero Pig for
5048s example so a little bit unfortunate
5049s there we are working on obviously
5051s getting this smoothed out and although
5053s the players did you know pick Heroes
5054s start the turns
5056s we have to regain right you can't just
5058s have someone just not connect and just
5059s get punished through it so uh we'll have
5060s to see how that one goes and hopefully
5062s we'll be able to get back into the game
5064s I was excited for that one as well so
5065s like the news up there the voon who's uh
5068s pretty crazy hero right now especially
5070s with that combined with upbeat Duo right
5073s so starts to get very very silly and
5075s does things that you like to do a lot in
5077s terms of hand size in this game yeah and
5079s then you throw uh draxath enchanter in
5082s there I think that's the right name for
5083s the card uh which I think they've uh
5086s what did I say draca oh that which is
5089s the dragon right yeah sure okay um
5091s Jakari enchant are in there as well
5092s which has Synergy with a lot of things
5094s that you don't immediately think it does
5096s essentially anything that says end of
5098s turn works with it and that includes
5100s certain Heroes hero powers for example
5102s uh like Boone so if you do have like a
5104s magma lock on your board an upbeat Duo
5107s copying a card and the moon hero power
5109s going off and then you pick up a Jakari
5112s enchanter suddenly you got a stew going
5114s and some absolute incredible things this
5116s can happen at the end of turn so I do
5118s think it's a very crucial card to look
5120s out for a lot of spots a nice Synergy
5122s with mechs as well with the scaling Mech
5125s on tablet five that gives you plus one
5126s plus one for each of your magnetic
5127s minions you can double that up as well
5130s um so a card that looks a little bit
5132s innocuous on first glance because
5134s classically end of turn effects don't
5137s really uh haven't had the same impact as
5139s like battle cries or death rattles have
5142s as like a real game mechanic it was like
5144s light Fang right exactly and you kind of
5147s had that experience with say
5149s um side and atheros has a quest that
5151s doubles ended turn effect or ragnaros
5153s Barbie for example doubling end of turn
5155s effects as well and you know you'd get
5157s like a gold grubber or a light Fang like
5159s there'd be a couple of things that maybe
5160s you could find some extra Synergy with
5162s but it didn't tend to be that oppressive
5165s and I think that has changed a lot an
5167s end of turn is now almost a keyword in
5169s its own right in Battlegrounds at this
5171s point in terms of the impact it can have
5172s on a game and I think that's something
5174s that this uh this current meta at least
5176s for me me is it's gotten so right is
5178s there's just a lot of things you can do
5181s that until you see them or if you're
5183s just way smarter than me and find them
5184s yourself you don't even think about
5186s right it's like when you talk about Rye
5188s like like there's like you think oh
5190s makes battle cries happen again okay I
5193s mean sure everyone likes more battle
5194s cries but then you realize well hang on
5196s a minute you can reborn that Beast
5199s so it happens twice twice and then you
5202s can do other things as you mentioned
5204s before like well did you get a rivendare
5206s on there uh do you get some of the other
5208s effects you were talking about the uh
5209s the Cali ghost effect as well and I
5211s think like rylack there's probably still
5213s things at least I've not seen uh people
5215s do with that card because it does feel
5217s like a very creative meta is that fair
5220s to say uh because obviously you've been
5222s playing more Battlegrounds than me over
5223s the you know x amount of years but it
5225s does feel like a meta where you can go a
5227s lot of different directions
5228s I think that's true yeah and I think
5230s part of that is more mechanically
5233s interesting cards more mechanically
5234s complex cards like rylac which do allow
5236s you to do some very different things and
5238s part of it is because of them because of
5240s the minion remix I feel like most of the
5243s minion types are now in a really nice
5244s place where they can cross-pollinate and
5247s cross synergize with other minion types
5249s as well there's not just like okay I met
5252s here I know exactly what my final board
5255s is supposed to look like I make the mech
5257s board and then I Max right you're very
5259s flexible in like you know sometimes
5262s you're scaling Three Dragons and then
5264s you have like a golden afro was your
5266s your economy engine right and you're
5268s sort of like two Pirates Three Dragons
5270s and that's your scaling comp at the end
5272s of the game there's all sorts of weird
5274s hybrid comps particularly with quill
5276s balls I would say which to me feel like
5278s more of a support class than they do an
5281s actual minion type you play on their own
5283s and I think that's really to the benefit
5286s of the game overall but looks like we do
5288s have another game in front of us we do
5290s have another Etc so another opportunity
5292s to pick up a win so yeah this could be
5295s huge points for Raven if alexemi wins
5297s this Lobby on the ETC but we will wait
5299s and see it should have walk as well so
5301s that's a big one for me it certainly is
5304s yeah fingers crossed four tomb I think
5306s he will absolutely want to be playing
5307s this game out uh it does seem to have
5309s had some issues with this camera as well
5311s so I hope he's not having persistent
5312s internet issues throughout the whole
5313s event for uh for his sake as much as for
5316s ours but we'll see what dinatrius can
5318s get cooking with the turn one Quest
5322s oh boy
5325s hmm
5328s yeah I was gonna say I think yog is the
5331s pig I think you would merge those two if
5333s you could but that's not how that works
5334s so there you go it's not no
5337s um The Goblet just not a particularly
5339s powerful Quest overall I think uh York
5342s wheel how to say this kindly
5344s um probably more popular at middling MMR
5347s than it is at a competitive level it can
5350s absolutely blow out games and be
5352s incredibly powerful but I think it
5353s flatters to deceive in a lot of uh
5355s situations but I still think the better
5357s better choice in that situation
5359s especially as you are buying a Naga on
5362s turn one anyway
5369s a reminder bandwagon picks are available
5372s again get those in on the tavern buddy
5374s extension on Twitch
5376s before turn four if possible and I know
5379s where mine's going thank you Lorinda for
5381s showing us who we needed to see see that
5384s shadow walk star there we go I think I'm
5387s just committing to my plan
5391s I see trying to Triple down on the
5394s points yeah Raven's locked in a turn one
5396s ala temu so he'll get uh you will get
5400s puzzle box points he will get fantasy
5401s team points and he will get bandwagon
5403s points if it cashes out very nice yeah
5406s fingers across but you are right like
5408s Tim here great opening I think shoulder
5411s Wok is just such a strong and again
5413s interesting hero with that hero power
5415s now
5425s looks like alotemu is gonna go three on
5429s three here I would imagine I don't think
5431s that shop is good enough to convince you
5432s to stay
5433s um
5434s some debate about whether Etc is a
5436s mandatory three on three hero um
5439s basically all the good economy buddies
5441s are on three there's no real economy
5444s that you can find on Tavern 2 you can
5446s just find Tempo cards
5449s um like jailer's buddy for example 2-2
5451s death rattle drop three One Drops just
5453s insanely strong straight away the only
5455s thing you can really find on Tavern 2 is
5457s the denaturius body so you just get a
5459s quest for eight gold
5460s um immediately but that is very weak and
5462s very slow and significantly more
5464s powerful if beasts are in the lobby
5466s because you can then put it next to a
5467s rylack and just get free quests every
5469s time rylack dies which is wonderful
5472s I've seen as well as we look at this
5473s just at where the players have ended up
5475s in terms of uh what's happened here
5478s they're on right because this is a big
5479s spread Matsuri and alotimu on three and
5482s a good chunk of them on Two And now
5484s Shiro still on one
5492s no real significant progress on the
5494s quest just yet as you would imagine but
5497s yeah let's take a little look at Ali
5498s temu first buddy discover here again you
5502s are looking for something on it in my
5504s opinion
5505s don't let me down now the team
5510s those actually are not it
5515s demons are in uh stormpike Lieutenant
5518s plus shop eating is a thing that you can
5521s do as Etc that is a build that you can
5523s also words
5527s you can see how it works though right
5528s just from the text that you have on
5529s screen you have a bunch of minions die
5531s the minions in the shop just get bigger
5532s and bigger and bigger and then you use
5534s an urzal a fell back a bunch of Mind
5537s eaters whatever kind of thing you want
5539s to go for just to repeatedly eat a bunch
5541s of shops over and over again get a whole
5543s bunch of stats on your stuff and also as
5545s well just the side effect of that being
5548s the biggest minion choice in terms of
5550s just not diagonally because obviously
5553s going three on three means it was a
5554s little bit of a hit there
5555s you can see a Shiro USA
5559s um
5560s the pick with the barrel picker
5564s the fitting tribute to the The Departed
5567s world's best Hearthstone dog right come
5568s on
5569s I would imagine that pick was should
5572s have walked right like do you ever not
5573s pick sure to work in this kind of early
5575s fight especially against a dog waggle
5577s well you have to work out right there's
5578s a lot of mousing over and then you'll be
5580s like okay then Naga does that mean
5582s they're just hero powering a 2-1 over
5584s and over again like you're never quite
5585s sure how much Tempo and how much greed
5587s that the shuttle walk is going through
5589s but you can see in this spot a couple of
5591s Mind eaters picked up as well so I don't
5593s know if tomb has switched to Hero
5595s powering mind eaters a little bit
5597s um but if you wouldn't mind can we
5598s actually just jump straight back to tomb
5600s because I'd like to just see exactly
5602s what the board state looks like thank
5604s you very much okay uh overseer plus mind
5607s eater Synergy now available is very very
5609s nice
5610s oh okay
5627s haven't you
5630s I would have that filamental on my board
5632s right now sat next to that rylack every
5636s single day of the week
5637s assume you're doing great carry on my
5639s friend Harry on wow just going raw
5643s economy with the coins instead okay but
5645s the point I was going to make pairs of
5647s battle cries on the board really really
5649s crucial for shadow walk because you want
5651s to hit a golden Battle Cry to be able to
5652s hear her power every turn right there's
5654s no limitation of plain copy like there
5657s is for jandus for example uh you can
5659s still hear a power of golden minion so
5661s you get double double you have to double
5663s dip your hero power essentially if you
5664s can get a golden Battle Cry and stick on
5665s your board
5672s I do I need to lie down after that
5675s penguin not looking too bad temper wise
5678s as well did just level up to three so
5680s again uh at least on curve with a lot of
5683s the players right now
5687s wow that's that's definitely a board
5695s it's like Matsuri might be able to uh
5696s fight back here if the kick out from the
5698s Beast is good
5700s oh yeah
5703s oh would you look at that it was a seven
5704s seven how surprising well I meant more
5707s like uh what Beast it is right you can
5709s make a big yes you can get more death
5711s rattles and also you can deal a lot more
5713s damage as well
5714s true
5718s oh
5720s okay Sylvanas erapa yeah that was nice
5722s oh
5723s okay
5727s uh weeb doesn't do anything to say why
5729s did I just read that as weeb
5733s um Nation right um
5738s no sure if there's any high value death
5740s rattles being covered there is not okay
5741s yeah just sticking more economy oh took
5744s her took the actual Etc buddy on the
5747s second hero power and made the avenge
5750s buddy golden so it looks like it will be
5752s leaning a little bit into that demon
5753s stuff if possible oh gold rewarded by
5756s the way for the greedy keep on the Naga
5758s now does have the golden available
5760s and I think we saw denaturius was that
5763s Quest finished for dinner is there I'm
5765s not 100 sure but I think it might have
5767s been
5768s certainly was yeah okay nice
5772s start next time yeah yeah sport right
5776s yeah as well not not super weak not
5778s strong but not super weak
5782s yeah tomb now on the shadow walk has to
5785s start thinking about what the end game
5787s is Tim has essentially everything handed
5789s to him at this point he has a rylack he
5791s has a golden shell collector so he's
5793s absolutely printing money every single
5796s term he has to Now set a Target as to
5798s what his final board is going to look
5800s like
5801s and also just not get pushed out right I
5804s think that's something you can uh fall
5805s into if you go a little bit too quick
5807s it's like what you do sometimes so if I
5809s can get a bit too much value and then
5810s complain about it and then you do the
5813s same thing in the next game die and
5814s complain about it yeah exactly oh I was
5818s saying had an okay board but be a
5820s Babbage takes 14.
5824s what's the spin
5826s is it going to win
5831s fine sure one of the better ones in this
5834s situation I think honestly because uh
5836s beta just got thrown down below damage
5838s cap right so just uh what has got six
5841s million so plus 18 plus 18 to his board
5843s even if it does mess the stats around I
5845s think is a very welcome in that
5846s situation and also as well like we spoke
5849s about earlier because beat about it's in
5850s such a good position points wise after
5852s game one
5853s all he has to do is not be eighth right
5856s you know like just just get a few points
5860s magma look right you have so much money
5863s to be able to print stuff with here I
5864s think that just has to be the order of
5866s business
5868s wow still hasn't used the hero power yet
5870s on this turn so still plenty to do with
5872s the coins available
5875s did you know it was actually uh someone
5877s called Sir rylack III that created the
5879s printing press
5881s oh I did not know that there you go
5883s in fact sir
5884s has proven true
5886s no okay imagine
5901s all right pick each is already big oh
5902s yeah it received one buff from the
5904s flutist already a couple of turns ago
5905s when we were watching right so that's
5906s why it's uh so asynchronous towards the
5909s health total
5913s a lot of players looking kind of small
5915s here there's definitely two or three
5917s players that are significantly bigger
5919s than everyone else and I think a lot of
5921s people just need to be dodging fights
5922s where possible I will say that that was
5924s a Duo pickup from Waterloo Waterloo
5927s still very healthy and land in a jewel
5929s you know I'll say early-ish is can be
5933s game winning if you can hold on
5936s all right dumb it looks like he's gonna
5940s take a bit of a smacking here though
5941s nice couple of Trades towards the end
5943s though just about some damage yeah yeah
5945s it just takes the one drop in the end
5946s not too bad at all
5949s just a light slap for fire and water
5952s looking pretty good as well
5960s oh is that
5963s huh what did he just not play the
5965s duolaster
5966s knee once uh wanted a minion in hand for
5969s the buff from the Scargill uh that's not
5971s the right name is it I've entirely made
5973s that up
5974s um from the handbarth murloc which he
5976s valued over one turn of the duo which I
5979s think is fine like he can Triple A
5982s murloc in two turns with the duo but
5984s still nothing particularly attractive on
5986s board to be copying that's fine it's
5988s definitely debatable
5990s uh but I think I'm okay with it
5996s damn it
5997s looks like it's like trying to lean over
6000s to beasts to an extent at least let's
6002s have the sly Raptor but again this is
6004s the point in every game where I just go
6005s hang on I mean I'm just gonna Mass roll
6007s for the banana Slammer because that that
6009s just opens up so much sort of
6012s the ability to just relax a bit in any
6015s given game right if you can get an early
6017s banana you could say okay all I need to
6019s do is hit some form of good beasts I
6022s mean there's one
6023s um and even the sly raps are already in
6025s hand so if good dummy can hit that soon
6027s and they'll probably be feeling pretty
6029s confident going forward
6032s every other piece right now right yeah
6034s seeing a bunch of Duos he's seeing uh
6037s death row beasts he's seeing reborn
6038s snake he's just not seeing the actual
6041s bananas like he's got serious potassium
6043s deficiency right now and there is only
6045s one cure for it
6048s he needs to get there soon or all of
6050s these stat scaling comps that are
6052s hanging around uh like this one for
6054s example what happened here this car this
6056s escalated incredibly quickly from the
6058s last time we were them yeah
6061s he needs to get there very very soon
6063s because if he doesn't he's gonna get 15
6065s into 15 over the next two fights and
6067s just be straight out of him yeah these
6070s need to maybe do a little bit more work
6075s I didn't even see what that one was oh
6077s that's all the left at the end was huge
6080s cut five damage off of that and now
6082s unbelievably he stays above damage cap
6084s yeah
6086s thank you
6088s Matsuri down at three Health oh come on
6093s oh pyro hello
6096s one two three four oh
6100s denied he got some on the air the the
6103s horsey though
6105s yeah true yeah good shots on the horse
6107s actually good point
6108s I don't know does anyone know this has
6110s ever been revealed like does the chance
6112s of it hitting uh either face like grow
6116s after each successive shot because it
6118s feels like it averages a lot less than
6120s it should when you get the pyroblaster
6122s as opposed to it being a completely
6124s separate role exactly I think yeah
6129s she on offer again Matt sorry needs to
6131s do something because
6133s I'm in trouble basically
6137s oh there's some relax three HP double
6140s rylack count me in it what could
6143s possibly go this is exactly what happens
6144s when I play with Saul right because
6146s it'll be like oh three HP but there is
6148s two Rolex we could get more money and
6150s more value I'm like there's no value in
6152s dying
6155s look which one of us is top 200 okay
6158s which one of us won't be quiet about it
6162s uh I'll be I think I'm maybe top 2000.
6166s nice oh 20 000 maybe I'm not sure which
6169s zero needs to be added or taken away
6171s yeah
6174s but most importantly so I've been having
6176s a good time
6178s that is what really matters isn't it
6180s exactly the real MMR is the friends we
6182s made along the way
6185s that's what I tell myself every night
6186s before bed oh instant Mama Bear snipe by
6190s the way
6191s uh looks like dummit did triple into the
6194s mummer on the previous turn which has at
6196s least gotten somewhere but still has a
6198s potassium deficiency
6199s and looks like I just have enough yeah
6203s she just has enough
6205s and actually gets the extra damage from
6206s this line up rocking right which is a
6208s big deal I say extra not always extra
6211s but often extra
6214s Matsuri lived but he lived by smacking
6217s Aloo temu for about twenty damage so now
6221s I'll tell everyone about cereal both on
6223s the cost
6227s oh you need to get big atletumu
6231s you need to get real big real quick
6234s this Army of fake Battle Masters that
6237s you have created is not doing anything
6239s for you right now
6242s there's a base girl
6246s yeah that was free smart recognition
6248s knows that no matter what if he loses a
6251s fight he's dead so he can afford to buy
6252s the leeching fell Hound
6255s ler okay
6259s that's something at the very least I
6261s would imagine all of these minions in
6262s hand have infinite health as well that's
6265s true actually
6267s oh banana
6273s is there a base skill there's no base
6274s skill right no still no bass girl
6277s oh these minions in hand don't actually
6279s have stats right large amounts of them
6280s because they've come from the uh the
6282s brand the brand Primal fin interaction
6284s oh sorry yeah
6287s gas coiler okay
6294s Oh weird looking board you know it's
6297s really scrambling isn't it
6299s I mean one of these I I guess the uh the
6301s murloc has to gain just be 15 15 right
6303s it's Uther
6308s right yeah you have to Temp okay yeah
6311s out of the murkai 15 15 the coral give
6315s it as much health as you possibly can
6317s wait a minute
6319s value trade
6324s yep all right see if it's good enough
6326s but this could be number two for Alo
6329s temu in this spot and that is a
6331s nightmare if you are raven and a
6333s nightmare if you are Aloo temu or poison
6336s scam on the other side
6338s oh okay that's okay yeah okay okay
6344s Venom is not going to connect which
6347s means now I believe the coral burglar is
6349s just gonna carry from here no matter
6350s what so Ali temu does live to fight
6352s another day I never lost faith never no
6355s at no point in time were you worried yep
6359s at no point did I secretly message one
6361s of the people to see if I could change
6363s my fantasy picks
6365s it's fine
6368s oh my cereal oh
6371s just when life's going okay
6373s and that is a raw eighth it looks like
6377s unless Shiro actually there's quite
6379s there's several people eligible for the
6381s drop no is just a straight raw eighth
6384s which means Matsuri is now two games in
6386s with 0.5 points their name
6390s thank you
6392s ah okay well
6395s it'll be fine oh well it's been fun well
6397s you know what game two it's already over
6400s what can I say it didn't last long
6404s hey though
6406s we're all soon looking
6407s pretty strong actually with the demons
6410s obviously in the danger zone in terms of
6412s health not looking terrible
6416s thanks
6419s mandatory
6425s I'm gonna put this on the attack Andreas
6427s just to make a bit of a small town in
6429s the way I like it yep yep sure
6432s I'm on board
6434s can we uh have a tomb update please
6437s Lorinda I'm wondering where uh since he
6439s deviated so far from the game plan that
6441s I wanted to go for where We've Ended up
6443s yeah see like this is very beasts isn't
6446s it I don't know
6449s I mean beasts are very good but they're
6451s not a full Board of 500 500s which is
6454s what I try and make every game so yeah
6457s true
6459s sounds like a sentence I would say this
6461s comp's not good this comes okay but it
6464s could be quadruple the stats
6471s it's actually odd that in a beast game
6476s like this we've just not seen bananas
6478s anywhere right I don't think any single
6480s player
6481s owns a banana
6485s um yeah and honestly like just because
6487s they're they'll all be looking for them
6489s right that's you know you never let in
6490s one slide right yeah they all would have
6492s been looking for them up into a point
6494s and you'll see now a few players are
6496s kind of hard stacked into beasts still
6497s so of course you would still buy bananas
6500s if they came up in a lot of these
6501s players positions
6502s um but there is still a cut off for
6504s bananas where you do you know the boards
6507s that you have to have
6509s to then uh hold for a long time looking
6512s for bananas are generally quite weak if
6515s you don't have the banana on the ball so
6516s there's only so long called out for it
6519s um
6521s yeah dummit has been fortunate enough
6523s like I said to have hit all of the other
6525s pieces alongside that right Mama bears
6527s reborn snakes all of those kind of
6528s things so dumb it's been able to stay
6530s strong and also be Deathwing which helps
6533s at the same time
6534s um but sometimes you do have to bail out
6536s a banana plan a little bit quicker than
6537s you might want to
6540s great
6541s amazing
6548s speaking of uh end of turn with Jakari
6551s here it is double light Fang Jakari not
6554s something that I was expecting to see
6555s after kind of dismissing that as a bad
6559s Ragnarok Strat back in the previous meta
6561s but here we are
6562s oh here we go Oh thanks thank you thanks
6565s a lot larinda
6568s [Music]
6569s um
6572s which one should I pick so
6577s this one's tricky
6584s why couldn't one of them have a banana
6586s made my decision easy
6593s I mean that's the thing right we do have
6595s to wait to see if I just yeah randomly
6597s appears on
6599s I'd see the triple from god dammit as
6600s well
6603s you could end up tripling the mama bear
6606s it does not
6609s okay Cinder eye straight shot Tech card
6611s coming in for Tomb here which is a
6614s really really big deal that's going to
6615s have a real big impact on the fight
6619s need to see which minions are taunted
6621s from dumb its perspective though uh just
6624s the rap sorry just the snake at the
6626s moment okay
6635s I am in oh we've disagreed okay
6636s interesting I am all in on this this
6639s first minion I forgot the name of it but
6640s it's great
6642s straight shot yeah that's it I believe
6646s the extra taunt actually I typed that in
6648s it and I put my suggestion in as the
6651s talk came down so it was a little bit
6653s unfortunate to see the tunnel Blaster
6654s but hey oh here we are
6657s yeah it does not end up having an impact
6660s apart from tanking the straight shot
6661s here which is a big deal in its own
6663s right of course oh early bear out
6673s When I See This I always think wait why
6675s do you have stats and then I realize the
6677s bear exists all the mama goes down
6680s that's huge
6681s yeah looks like uh Raven went with tomb
6684s on this fight and it looks like he is
6685s gonna get rewarded just too much stuff
6687s left coming out for two however yeah I
6689s would like to uh remind that tomb is my
6691s bandwagon pick for this game so I was
6692s quite happy hedging my bets on this
6693s fight thank you very much
6695s it's so safe doesn't he chat
6701s just about got away with it and it does
6703s mean actually that uh that God dammit's
6705s gonna say bye-bye this round as well
6708s yeah biting the dust we are down now to
6710s final three
6716s another team is still in
6727s I'm actually not looking too bad at all
6735s yeah double Coral burglar now and has
6737s Gordon kind of poison scam as well the
6739s thing this is really missing is some
6740s bass skills really because bass skills
6742s can actually add layers to your I guess
6745s not poison scam anymore venomous scan so
6747s you can at least get one of those base
6749s skills in play but then at that point
6750s you're looking to hold more leroys slash
6754s venomous minions in your hand so you
6756s kind of get these recursive layers of
6758s venomous going off over and over again
6760s which can be very very effective
6762s again picking up Cinder eye straight
6763s shot uh one of the best tech cards in
6766s the game right now because of how
6768s prevalent reborn is in general for a lot
6770s of the strongest strategies yeah when
6772s we're talking earlier about just how
6773s well designed this set feels that's one
6776s of the cards I absolutely love because I
6778s feel like it does everything you'd want
6779s it to do but it's not like broken right
6782s you know it's not just like no this is
6783s you know way overpowered it's just a
6785s very it's a good tool to have in your
6787s toolbox it's not even a new card
6793s verses from back in the day when it was
6796s just all poison and divine Shield
6798s I just feel so disappointed like Tim is
6802s doing well and maybe he's made the the
6804s net MMR play maybe he's made the
6806s sensible play but I feel like when you
6808s have a money printing machine that's
6810s making you like eight gold a turn and
6811s you just end up on beasts I don't know
6813s it just makes me a bit sad right like
6815s the third would be disappointed
6819s say though it's impressive that you're
6821s upset because didn't you pick tomb I did
6823s yeah yeah so Saul upset even when he's
6825s winning there you go but my commitment
6827s to big numbers is greater than my
6829s commitment even to winning you know
6835s so wait a minute can we make it so
6837s whoever has the most points loses then
6840s is you'll have the bigger number
6844s what
6846s the challenge me
6848s no points yeah for our guesses and
6850s everything
6852s whoever ends with the most points loses
6855s if you're okay with losing if you just
6856s have the bigger number then because I
6859s can just have the bigger number and win
6861s so that's the best of both worlds why
6863s would I agree to that that's dumb either
6865s way our team who does get knocked out
6867s there not quite strong enough and Etc
6869s doing a little bit better but uh still
6872s not good enough to get that first place
6874s and now we've just got tomb versus beat
6875s about it in the end and I feel like whom
6879s it's in a solid position here
6881s yeah beta Baba is gonna need kind of an
6884s immediate setup of like a taunted
6886s blanchy in his hand and a base skill
6890s like this is a great start all that
6892s Glitters on a solo uh banana which is
6895s very nice guaranteeing the Golden Banana
6897s in shot
6898s problem now though
6900s okay no demon on board I was gonna say
6902s you probably don't want to be playing
6903s that mind right now but yeah
6905s there's no demon on board so that's fine
6906s but I'm still not necessarily sure this
6909s is enough stats really just with the
6912s solo blanchee blanchy like is the best
6914s minion of course to have right inside
6916s this
6919s I guess the point is is there anything
6920s better like not really right not really
6923s no I think the other option like I said
6926s can you use the Mind flayer goggles on
6929s that shop instead just to get the the so
6932s like the plain copy of banana for free
6934s and then you roll specifically looking
6938s for an extra Blanche in a base skill but
6940s that's so unlikely you have like two
6942s rolls to find exactly those two cards
6945s um and then maybe you would be able to
6946s get there but yeah it seems super online
6955s oh so I'm gonna come down to this too
6956s and uh can potentially afford to take a
6959s hit
6960s I need to Rabbit cannot that's a lot of
6963s reborn on that side of the board
6966s some poison though as well
6968s I'm gonna show the work
6970s yeah these venomouses are gonna trade
6972s though and then the venomous is gonna
6974s come back it doesn't have taunt which is
6977s actually really good news for Peter
6979s babix he gets to pick up a couple of
6980s really nice value trades now with this
6982s Blanche
6983s [Music]
6986s and now okay that needed to hit I think
6989s I'm not sure there's enough value left
6991s that needed to hit the five one that one
6993s attack that was able to go through did
6995s not quite get there in the end respect
6998s and this is too much value yeah I think
7001s Peter Babbitt missing beasts off the gas
7003s coiler and the tomb hitting two is
7007s probably too much
7010s oh
7012s Stephano wow
7015s wow
7017s two having an absolutely fantastic game
7019s here taking that Peter Babbitt and
7021s finishing on 30 Health subtle uh what a
7026s game number two for two because they
7028s didn't do too badly in the previous game
7029s either and uh all LED just off the start
7032s of that should have walked their first
7034s few turns right it was very very strong
7036s and did what you love to see right just
7038s go all the way to uh to the value just
7040s get as much gold as possible yeah I
7043s think if you're a shadow walk and you
7044s hit uh an economy Battle Cry on turn one
7047s uh so three one pyra or two one Naga
7050s then you are Off to the Races most of
7051s the time right
7053s um and yes you know disagreement over
7055s what exactly you end up pumping there
7057s with the the rylack I would have done it
7058s differently with the filamental I think
7061s when you just go to Tavern 3 early
7064s because you're printing a bunch of extra
7065s gold early with the the Naga straight
7067s away with the shell collector and then
7070s on one of your first rolls on Tavern
7071s three you find a rylac
7074s just pick a strategy and execute it from
7076s that point you know like it doesn't
7077s particularly matter which direction you
7079s go in just pick one and execute and you
7082s will probably be finding a pretty secure
7084s top two in that spot and that is what
7085s Tim did
7087s yeah it was uh looking really good
7089s overall uh we are just going to go to a
7092s quick break while we set up the next
7093s game so don't go anywhere we'll be right
7095s back

7315s Legend spring Championship we are
7318s getting ready to go into the third and
7320s final game of this group but before we
7323s do we are going to check in on some of
7325s the updates of scores and for the fancy
7327s picks as well so I'm excited to see how
7329s we're doing uh I know I'm doing badly
7331s but that's fine let's take a look at the
7333s team picks over oh what do you think
7335s about these so
7337s yeah I think largely is to be expected I
7341s think bit about it very popular and
7342s well-respected person in the community
7344s ala temu of course a very well-known
7346s player as well uh Matsuri huge streamer
7350s in his own right within his own
7351s community and very popular person uh
7354s indeed so these are kind of how I would
7356s expect the breakdown to go I think two
7358s man Shiro kind of the the least known
7360s players coming into this and a great
7362s surprise
7363s um to see the lack of popularity of
7365s those choices as well but yeah I think
7367s overall a spread largely as I would have
7369s expected and uh yeah well done chat in
7371s general has ended up being a great pick
7373s for you I think
7379s so take a look at how these standings
7381s look right now a first place and a
7383s second place for Peter Bobby he's
7385s looking absolutely fantastic going into
7388s this third game uh tomb looking great as
7390s well uh but when we look at the bottom
7393s here matsuring 0.5 I'm already scared uh
7396s along with Waterloo then on four so a
7398s lot of work to do for some of the lower
7400s players in this uh but be about it be a
7403s Babbitt sorry definitely had his work
7404s paid off for him so far basically needs
7406s to just grab a couple of extra points
7409s for good luck at this point I would say
7411s yeah I mean I think that is pretty much
7413s the point I think job done in the first
7414s two games for Peter Babbitt at this
7416s point but certainly the players around
7418s that fourth place cut off are going to
7420s be sweating there's also the puzzle box
7422s question to play for Matt Suri will be
7423s looking for three and a half points or
7425s more uh to be able to deny the
7427s four-point cut off that was one of the
7429s puzzle box questions on the tavern buddy
7431s so still lots of things to look at going
7433s into this last game and hopefully just
7436s from my perspective we now get a third
7437s variation because I think the first two
7439s games have been really really nice in
7441s terms of first game super make minion
7444s number go big scaling comps is what we
7446s saw dragons and Pirates right and then
7449s Beast came in into the other Lobby so
7451s sure we got rylack to come in which can
7453s help with those scaling possibilities
7454s but most players then chose to go
7457s straight into the summon comps with the
7459s Beast instead looking for Mama bears and
7462s bananas and we actually did not end up
7463s with with as oppressive as a banana
7466s Slammer board as you might expect when
7468s that many people are going for it a very
7470s middling boards I would say ended up
7472s taking things home at the end really it
7474s was the power of the change let's say to
7478s the Rattler that ended up being the the
7480s king in those lobbies right because
7481s absolutely everything ended up having
7483s reborn which you can debate I think
7486s whether the Rattler was a buff or a Nerf
7488s and I think it's very situation and game
7491s timing dependent as to whether it is a
7493s buff or an Earth but certainly I think
7495s it was a huge buff in the way that
7497s players got it early in that game and
7499s then just used it to reborn their entire
7500s pool now this is what I like to see
7502s that's right yes let's have a latimu
7505s start on five seven tier five
7507s um okay I appreciate whoever sorting
7510s this up and of course that will change
7511s but we are getting to the final game of
7514s Lobby a right now a bit about it on
7517s volcin and we say kel'thas there I don't
7520s know
7524s is this is this just gonna become a
7526s theme so are we just gonna have to do a
7528s warm-up game first
7531s oh no
7532s looks like it's big looks like we're
7534s good okay we're fine
7536s all right yeah we can stick here with
7538s failing for turn one take a look at the
7539s picks that looks good to me oh uh no
7544s Tempo King minion for Tavern two
7546s everything here quite small with long
7548s term upside yeah I think I agree with
7550s profit at the ball okay I mean instant
7553s synergy with the prickly Piper if you
7556s are looking for Rick
7562s goes at least Pig could have gone full
7565s Pig but ended up with the Elise instead
7568s and these are some mediocre six drops I
7572s would say oh I was gonna say I think I
7575s still like the chalka personally
7577s um
7578s just because
7580s you could pivot that way really easily
7582s as you said child got another end of
7583s turn effect right so a baby with the
7586s dracaris can get something done I've
7587s definitely been stumped by pigs on
7589s ladder doing that
7593s all right no great mystery other term
7595s we're gonna level up and play the two
7596s drop on that turn
7600s Shiro shooting into the shot still uh
7604s say that 10 times fast even though
7605s having arguably the worst one one drop
7608s in the game on the board right now
7610s remember as well getting your bandwagon
7612s picks I'm already deep in the tank
7613s thinking yeah same
7616s you have until the end of turn four to
7618s lock in your bandwagon pick pick who is
7620s going to win the lobby before turn four
7621s the earlier you do it the more points
7623s you get
7625s I'm gonna try a different strategy I'm
7627s just gonna vocalize my thoughts lean
7629s towards good done it here
7632s it's getting Farthing can potentially be
7634s very very strong and they're already you
7637s know proving
7638s that they're performing well today yeah
7641s I really don't know in terms of
7642s bandwagon stuff here no one on ready
7644s with a like standout Hyrule win the game
7646s here and the failing choices weren't
7648s mind-blowing right yeah the failing
7650s choices were mediocre this uh Varden
7652s does not have a good shot Frozen on
7654s Tavern 2
7656s um for the the freeze effect so no one
7658s really spiking that we've seen so far in
7659s the super early game uh let's take a
7662s little look at Etc though if we can see
7664s what's going on there with the early
7665s buddy picks
7668s is it going to be a three on three
7675s yeah definitely difficult to make the
7677s choice before seeing etc's first there
7679s first body right we do have to turn four
7682s so we're also there just tearing up as
7683s well to tier three
7686s oh takes a press
7689s does have the soul keeper for a massive
7691s tempo of course as mentioned previously
7694s this is kind of the tempo Choice tomb
7696s from live senior obviously making a read
7698s on a player's habit so off a very small
7700s sample size of games is dangerous but
7702s does seem to be a little bit more of a
7703s Tempo focused player
7705s um all the choices in big moments that
7708s you know I've disagreed with have been a
7709s byproduct of me being a very greedy
7711s economy bass player
7713s um and tume has gone for more Tempo
7715s based choices in in basically every
7716s situation right you go back to like
7718s double muxlinger in game one yeah sorry
7720s that the fight where it's just two
7722s players just stare at each other okay
7726s all right
7727s good enough for me
7729s oh you have the same choice to turn
7731s earlier unlucky
7732s wow
7736s I got it just before the fight started
7738s mm-hmm
7741s it was on the scene because I saw the
7742s tavern tear up to three
7744s and it's Varden and I respect could do
7747s it a lot as a player and I think valden
7748s can you know sometimes you whiff but I
7750s think the ability to pop off is
7752s definitely there yeah I think for me
7755s that's why I wanted to wait an extra
7756s turn right is the early Varden is
7759s Reliant so often on just getting those
7761s big Pairs and getting strong Tempo from
7764s them
7764s uh the uh the the undead there is just
7767s such a powerful Tempo minion early on to
7769s defend health I think that will now
7771s carry good dummy a very very long way
7773s well the Tron almost has to be the pick
7776s here when you've chosen to play Tempo
7778s Etc because now you can just have mega
7781s One Drops everywhere
7783s yeah this is the sort of point where I'm
7785s not 100 sure actually
7787s um
7788s oh yeah this is a one of the times where
7790s that is the kind of juice you want when
7792s you get into the uh scrap right for tier
7795s four if you can hit that and you've got
7796s that much uh events it's like well okay
7799s I'm gonna be seeing some Max for sure
7802s yeah
7808s I'm hitting here at the micro mummy
7816s be able to get oh okay it's our very
7819s first world problems of just being way
7821s too strong there to get any juice off of
7823s the Pirates
7826s very aggressive leveling curve being
7828s played by a lot of these players so far
7829s but that's a very nice pickup
7833s particularly when you don't have any uh
7834s blood gem generation yet tripling the
7836s tough Tusk is very nice because you only
7838s have to play then a single blood gem on
7840s it and it has permanent Divine shield
7842s for the rest of the game
7844s and this just uh good picks right
7847s there's a chance here that penguin goes
7849s for the storm
7857s yeah you could just like take the other
7858s pair as well right yeah for a turn yeah
7860s that's what I was thinking
7864s the prickle one is
7868s four right yep that's right that's
7870s definitely one that can you know get
7872s rolling very very quickly because it is
7874s that death rattle the earlier you get it
7876s the you know the better right because
7878s you can really start stacking sure
7886s I'm going for a pop-up okay
7891s not a nice turn to look at right
7892s obviously the three's having the triples
7894s great but just oh
7897s good cards there uh but just hat
7899s floating the gold you know not getting
7900s it quite done
7902s it looks like hello Timo is gonna just
7904s leave this shop I'm gonna bother with
7906s the scraps and have the juice for it oh
7908s yeah I'll tell me also just sold his two
7911s drop discovered minion and went straight
7913s to three and then straight to four to
7915s get the Elise like this is a very
7917s unconventional looking failing game so
7920s far but we will see how it pans out from
7922s here
7923s and now just roll down take a five drop
7925s this turn
7926s yeah
7928s those need to is on the cusp right of
7931s qualifying to tomorrow so like I think
7933s this might be the idea if you know what
7935s I need something big to happen
7937s so you know go for it
7947s oh oh
7950s I mean bran is brown but Boombox is so
7953s much Tempo when you've uh played so
7956s greedy like this and yeah and I think
7958s even for me I would be taking Boombox in
7960s this situation
7961s just because it will put like I said
7964s other team is kind of in the middle of
7966s the pack right now so in terms of points
7968s value so like that will just kill people
7971s right it's just it would just push other
7973s people out of the lobby instead of you
7975s doing well just make everyone do bad
7982s this is looking like quite the beefy
7983s board as well or at least this the
7985s beginnings of one from good dummy
7988s mummy being played and replicating
7991s Menace being held okay sure
7994s gives you more Flex right he like could
7997s roll into a good Mech next to an awesome
7999s you could have the stats to pile on
8001s there so the the counter argument is it
8003s does make you quite a lot weaker because
8004s obviously the replicate Menace is so
8006s many more revenge procs for the two
8008s fives to be true to defend at that point
8010s but neither one adds a different minion
8013s type to the board which would make you
8015s so much stronger right because the two
8017s five Buffs uh each different minion type
8018s that you have but mechs and Undead were
8021s both already present on that board
8026s it looks like penguin got the uh the
8027s Abomination
8029s double Radio Star another one of my
8031s favorite cards in the entire game
8034s you may notice a theme Here card subtle
8036s likes things that put cards in his hand
8038s yeah subtle just likes cards sure does
8045s okay oh
8048s [Music]
8052s this is why you play Greedy so um stuff
8054s like this can happen when you win the
8056s game
8058s oh my God and wins the fight yeah you're
8061s kidding I thought I thought he was at
8062s least going to lose the fight there but
8064s my God eight damage over to alatimu and
8067s double Golden Monkey for for his trouble
8070s seems good to me
8071s yeah uh worth noting by the way Golden
8073s Monkey is a unique minion it is Golden
8076s by default so even anything that says
8079s plain copy if you use it on a Golden
8082s Monkey it is still a golden monkey and
8084s therefore you still get your triple
8088s oh who's the pickup okay
8092s yeah it just wants to be on five and
8094s just have some tempo right I do think
8095s this makes sense yeah
8098s especially because you can just do this
8100s and then give it a blammo
8104s sure
8107s scaling minions but very mediocre ones
8110s in general I would say yeah I mean look
8113s before the weekends out I want to pick
8115s Lobby I want people to go pigs because
8117s I've just seen too many people pass on
8119s Charles
8125s it's a tough choice now
8127s so you can go Boogie you have a one drop
8129s to play and you can then buy a two drop
8132s no problem you can then sell that back
8135s and buy a three drop no problem so yeah
8136s Boogie was a lot of instant stats
8138s actually this was very good hmm
8141s again weirdly a Tempo minion this turn
8143s right
8144s yep
8149s goldilies
8150s what's happening
8152s I don't know so but I like it another
8155s boom
8157s uh meanwhile I guess we'll see what team
8159s has been up to of course remember uh Etc
8161s winning a game is one of the puzzle box
8163s questions as well which I believe is not
8165s been fulfilled just yet so we are still
8167s hoping for that to happen
8170s we both say yes no I said no uh
8180s think this is too much with the death
8183s rattles coming out okay five five not
8185s super relevant it's gonna attack oh okay
8188s does do five damage the most relevant
8190s minion
8192s but with a whole set of One Drops still
8194s to come there is probably still enough
8196s yeah Divine Shield 2-1 such a nasty drop
8199s there as well
8200s yeah and just buy one it's gonna be
8204s another loss for Aloe terminal and he's
8205s back in damage cap range now
8208s so close
8213s what is been doing significantly weaker
8216s than a lot of the players we've been
8218s looking at recently really does um
8221s icky M triple okay
8223s still on Tavern three as well like has
8226s stayed low and is getting murdered this
8228s game oh yeah the above it just took 15
8231s apparently okay
8235s I can see why this boy I can't see
8237s anywhere near as strong right right
8238s exactly that you can see why because
8241s this board is extremely unimpressive at
8243s this point this looks like a me board
8253s scrap scraper trying to make something
8254s happen
8256s a radio
8258s oh I mean at 10 Health I don't think you
8261s could I mean I guess you are vulgar you
8262s replace you you replace the three three
8264s with a three one right yeah and you
8266s could also just you know any minion you
8268s see in the shop that you want the effect
8269s of because you're volgin you can just
8271s trade its stats for one of the Minions
8273s that you already have on board if you
8274s want to end up doing it that way so it's
8275s not that much of a downside but I was
8278s just looking at like the fact that it
8279s would replace a 3-3 with a three one but
8281s the three one does something right yeah
8288s another Boombox okay
8294s good ordering as well
8298s in the buff on the eye of the mech
8305s and uh yeah beer batter does seem to
8308s have found a a more reasonable fight on
8311s this round let's say I think we may be
8313s poisoned by some of the Golden Monkey
8315s silliness that is going on it's true
8317s because uh it is only turn eight In
8319s fairness I will say that perhaps these
8321s are a little small in terms of boards
8323s I've been looking at but perhaps not as
8325s much as the reaction might first betray
8327s this is nice so three blood gems an
8330s annoying module here as well
8332s very nice oh oh my alutemu oh okay
8338s well bad news for Raven Ali temu's dead
8341s uh good news for Raven Matsuri just got
8343s a point
8344s yes that Surrey just got two points yes
8349s wait was it oh wait was it four or less
8351s or less than four four uh oh good
8353s question actually because waterloo's on
8356s four right now I believe sort of like
8359s and Matt Surrey is now on like 2.5 I
8362s think
8363s as a minimum less than four is the
8366s phrasing oh oh come on Max sorry Matsu
8370s sorry I'm just adding extra life
8372s Matt sorry you got this oh three dead
8375s actually yeah half a point half a point
8379s come on
8381s someone immediately
8385s it's a very mean-spirited puzzle box
8387s question actually in reflection isn't it
8388s the worst part here is as well I'm
8390s getting excited there's a whole nother
8392s group
8393s yeah true
8396s true oh yeah Matsuri has ghost his turn
8399s perfect
8400s [Laughter]
8403s waterloo's already clear being on Four
8405s Points going in and Walter is actually
8406s doing quite well still on 35 Health
8408s looking strong and also tomb is looking
8411s great we need to check on Etc at some
8413s point but Meanwhile we're going to be
8414s looking at penguin with the double bass
8416s and prickle Rick
8418s yeah this could end up being a huge game
8421s for Raven in terms of how his picks and
8423s predictions have gone so far
8428s thank you
8434s not a bad board at all
8438s right full Tempo and tomb's actually
8441s been able to transfer himself into Max
8444s and still get value from these death
8446s rails
8447s just traded one deflecto for the other
8450s uh just wanting to get the buff ax he
8452s has the opposite of the four seven that
8454s we saw in the previous game we're seeing
8457s the 7-4 that gives attack instead so he
8459s just trades one deflector out for him so
8461s I have nightmares about that squirrel
8463s oh really
8465s it used to I think it used to do four
8467s for each man that died they nerfed it
8469s very it used to kill me basically it
8472s used to kill me a lot
8475s oh nice
8478s oh Dodges the reset as well and then
8480s smokes it okay that was a huge series of
8483s attacks for the uh for the zirella
8489s it's looking pretty close but so many
8491s waves of stuff
8492s there's so many waves of stuff and a lot
8495s of mechs have been dropped so um
8498s squirrel bomb's gonna do some work here
8500s yeah oh good buy all your stuff oh an 18
8505s to Waterloo and alike there
8507s oh no penguin signing damage cap range
8511s and Matsuri scammed Everyone by fighting
8513s the ghost you hate yes
8517s oh okay Tim you need to come first but
8519s sorry you need to come second let's say
8521s and then you know I'll be happy for
8523s today
8524s I mean it doesn't it now matter at this
8526s but like damage cap isn't even a real
8527s thing but I still even when there are
8530s dead players like feel happier when I'm
8532s above 15 health because I think 15 is a
8535s kind of a reasonable amount to lose a
8536s fight by in a lot of situations yeah
8538s it's weirdly a number where you feel
8540s safe right unless something very stupid
8542s happens but don't get it twisted Matsuri
8544s can absolutely get smacked for 18 in
8546s this spot yeah oh here we go
8551s uh okay let's
8554s have a look
8557s you're really giving us bass skill
8559s without knowing the stats of the minions
8561s in half come on come on
8564s but here's my question Soul help can the
8567s minions even be because nothing
8570s offs them right no
8582s things
8584s kid oh triple though the Divine
8589s Shields is huge
8601s this is tense wait the Boombox didn't
8603s make the board
8606s did the Boombox not get played I hope
8608s not no what okay no no no
8611s it's fine it's fine we're all chilling
8614s we're all fine
8617s there it is
8619s okay it's not gonna kill these collectos
8622s though which is massive reset
8627s see I wanted to use the bass skills as
8629s reflex uh resets on the deflector
8631s because they would still summon Max in
8633s that spot but yeah the fact that the
8634s Boombox didn't end up killing the
8636s deflectos which is not something that I
8638s noted it's actually going to be a huge
8640s problem here it's pretty big as well
8642s only one Divine Shield
8644s out the Fallen
8648s oh gets the reset oil hits it in the bad
8651s order
8653s it's at least a draw it's a tie again
8655s again
8659s oh I'll take it I thought I bet you will
8663s I bet you will when the when the Boombox
8666s did not kill the deflectos I thought oh
8668s I've made a huge mistake here like and
8671s got away with it
8673s if it wasn't for those pesky base skills
8684s oh we have not seen impressive sixes
8687s have we so far today not really no and
8690s no that is kind of a theme honestly like
8692s there are a lot of lobbies where six
8693s drops kinda suck
8695s um and people will just be tripling into
8697s fives
8698s um be it for Mama bears or brands or
8701s magma locks or dracary enchanters like
8704s there's lots of win condition cards on
8706s five that can with the right setup
8708s outscale six drops a lot of the time
8717s yeah turn 11 and no one's like a god in
8719s this Lobby yeah which is a little bit
8721s surprising
8723s oh yeah it's sorry I just thought Tim
8725s took a uh as well yeah and again like
8729s you know tomb is playing very Tempo
8731s heavy right So eventually that will run
8733s out into steam with the kind of wow okay
8735s golden uh golden squirrel bomb though
8737s it's kind of cool
8739s foreign
8743s bomb do it twice for each Mech that dies
8746s or is it back up to four damage I know
8748s those are functionally very similar but
8750s they are a little bit different yeah uh
8751s RBS I'm not 100 sure
8754s bloody correspondent
8767s okay where's the Divine Shield gonna
8768s land on the taunt okay
8772s so it does get the reset really not a
8774s great deal of Mex dying in this
8776s situation though in comparison to what
8778s we were seeing before like he's he's
8780s canceled out a lot of the tokens uh for
8783s more straight up stats and a lot of
8784s spots so
8786s yeah it definitely feels like tomb's on
8787s like a transition point right with the
8790s comp because there is just that Battle
8792s Master there for some beefy stats oh
8795s my turn
8797s is it raw fifth
8800s wait
8802s oh
8807s oh we will await confirmation yeah oh
8810s it's four there you go
8815s oh no it was always full damage okay
8817s yeah I wasn't looking I'm just trying to
8820s see if anyone else dies
8823s oh rough day for Matsuri in the end
8829s I think it's worse for me honestly
8831s um
8835s another girl's kicking out the absolute
8838s ton of stats here for sharosa
8842s very nice uh for jaraxis as well scaling
8845s off the boogie monster for essentially
8847s the cost of one gold if you do want to
8848s end up selling back the uh the magnetic
8850s minion as well very nice
8853s Boogie the second
8855s this is where we are huh we're freezing
8857s for a second boogie monster okay
8864s also still only on turn 12.
8870s again yeah another question about the it
8873s was 18 18 turns yeah and I think
8876s honestly if uh if you want to do do you
8878s want to take some Solace Raven I think
8879s with the way this meta has played out
8881s and again The Meta for Group B might be
8882s entirely different but they do tend to
8884s be correlated with each other uh to some
8886s extent uh it looks like you might have
8888s me on that one because there has not
8889s been as much hardcore Tavern 4 Tempo
8892s gaming like honestly this is the closest
8894s Lobby to the kind of thing I was talking
8896s about might be possible Right Where
8899s we've uh we've just seen a lot of people
8900s just playing very Tempo heavy mechs and
8902s staying a little bit longer that's it
8904s that's because everyone's going Max
8905s right and they have like The Godfather
8907s drop so yep
8912s even then this would have to go for a
8915s very very long time from here to reach
8917s that 18. yeah
8919s and with basically what two and a half
8921s kind of players on one kill shot
8923s opportunities here 14 and four
8933s what is gonna kill the Radio Star is the
8935s big question though I mean the answer is
8937s video obviously but aside from that
8939s obviously
8946s okay
8950s it's good it was going to get for
8951s Waterloo right
8957s yeah I think at this point uh Waterloo
8960s oh sorry um Shiro is kind of stuck in
8963s his own little world which is boogie
8964s monster scaling right I think he's past
8966s the point where because you can kind of
8968s get that test slash scabs effect where
8970s if everyone in the lobby is playing the
8972s same thing and you're playing radio
8973s stars then you can kind of just uh pick
8975s up the best of of everyone's comp and
8977s play it against them but I think he's
8979s just occupied in stat scaling at this
8980s point and yep there goes Tom so Etc not
8982s still not winning a game at this point
8987s um and again my impression of Tomb like
8988s you played very well has achieved the
8991s goal right has appeared in lobbies has
8993s picked up points but one of the most
8996s Tempo focused players that I have seen
8998s in a long time again just based off of
8999s an impression from a three-game sample
9001s size which might end up being entirely
9003s misleading but uh well played very very
9005s good performance from two mobile and
9007s also like like I said at the start of
9008s the show right like this is the first
9010s like major Tournament of the year so
9013s it's like Tempo could be absolutely
9015s correct but for the like this style of
9018s tournament format
9019s what's that okay
9021s third Boogie yeah okay so scales the
9025s first scale this is why second Boogie
9027s sometimes a little bit weird you've got
9029s one buggy that's already on player
9030s Tavern 6 minion and then you buy a
9032s second Boogie and you have to scale that
9034s one back up from Tavern right until it
9036s synchronizes with the second one and now
9039s he's just done that and has played this
9041s boogie and now this book golden Boogie
9043s is reset back to tap and one again it's
9046s a very awkward card overall let's just
9048s say
9053s okay
9054s fell back out play the one drop for some
9057s Mega scaling play the two drops this has
9060s gone pretty well actually nice
9062s legitimately one of the best Boogie
9064s games I've ever seen because at my MMR
9067s people cannot do this
9072s okay
9074s whoa that sucked a lot I did yeah
9078s yeah this is significantly one of the
9080s best Boogie fights I've seen in recent
9082s memory yeah oh a little Leroy out there
9084s though
9090s Bad Leroy trade as well it's going
9092s really well for shirose yep just
9094s infinite stats still
9098s easily has this covered still has a
9100s venomous available as well potentially
9102s which now will get Great Value the best
9104s value in fact yeah
9106s and that is going to be 18 damage and
9109s that is going to be a dead zirella and
9111s that is going to be top two
9113s yeah not too bad at all
9116s Waterloo now again just a quick we will
9119s go into obviously the standings after
9121s the game Waterloo was seventh place
9124s going into game three and he's now you
9128s know getting at least top two
9131s very very good absolutely huge
9136s and that's why I think the formats are
9137s really crazy because the uh you you do
9140s have that opportunity to actually just
9143s fight back even if you've had a rough
9146s couple of games
9156s probably worth taking the module at this
9158s point yeah especially being able to
9160s Juice It Up with the Uther
9162s like the game is pretty much over at
9164s this point so you might as well just
9166s give everything Divine shield for raw
9168s power even though it can potentially
9169s ruin a lot of your scaling with the
9171s magnetics
9174s here you see one of the great new
9176s additions for the uh so good for Mech
9179s strategy which uh we kind of mentioned
9182s previously but kind of glossed over a
9183s little bit the ability to play magnetics
9185s with a full board is a massive massive
9187s Improvement
9191s still looks bizarre when it zooms out
9193s like that I don't think mini minions
9199s instantly pumps a second deflector as
9201s well very nicely done
9204s this is about as good as it's going to
9205s get for water
9206s yep we'll take a couple of fights though
9209s and does have to consider yeah he's
9211s already doing it has to consider tunnel
9213s Blaster right like that's the big
9214s counter card he's gonna get hit by and
9217s knows it's there so he's putting a
9219s minion with a replicating menace up
9221s front just to make sure that he gets a
9223s good trade and a good reset right before
9226s these deflectos attack really really
9228s nicely though and also now as well
9230s there's the knowledge of the Boombox
9231s right too because that will place some
9233s level of uh of information
9236s actually get some scaling value there as
9237s well before the uh the scrap scraper
9239s dies this fight's going quite nicely
9241s right now for Waterloo
9244s double reset as well off the kangars
9247s because there was a dumb hit into the
9249s Divine Shield nothing playing
9251s Battlegrounds makes you more annoyed at
9253s how stupid your minions are than when
9254s they just keep smashing into deflecto
9256s Divine Shields over and over again just
9258s like that oh yeah attack the one that
9261s you leave at one HP great plan yeah love
9263s it thank you thank you very much
9266s yeah as you said that this will take a
9267s while because although waterloo's
9269s looking feel fairly strong it's just uh
9272s not going to be tons of damage right the
9274s deflectos you're likely to be alive
9276s obviously there's a couple of six drops
9278s on board but both taunted up so unlikely
9281s to live to see another day
9284s big fan of that you can get uh you
9287s currently have a deflector without a
9288s menace on it I think number one priority
9290s is yeah two deflectos two menaces then
9293s they always reset each other more or
9295s less right which is a huge buff to have
9299s and that's the thing as well when you
9300s think about from this point of view here
9302s uh what else are you going to spend that
9305s money on right if there's a medicine
9307s just says staring straight at you yeah
9312s is there anything that could replace
9313s this kind goals or do you think it's
9315s just a great reset right now for
9317s Waterloo it's very very very good
9321s particularly because you a hundred
9323s percent know you're facing tunnel
9325s Blaster it's not just a tech tunnel
9327s Blaster that your opponent has it's a
9329s it's a mandatory part of the board
9331s because it's also huge so it's staying
9333s there
9334s um so because you will have to put your
9335s minions up front to try and get the
9337s guaranteed resets on the deflectos first
9339s you just really want to have that nice
9341s chain of uh of an extra reset coming
9344s through on the other side as well
9347s yeah this looks pretty good
9350s it's a big benefit of this sort of late
9352s game with Max you've always got the
9354s choice to just keep going bigger because
9356s of that new magnetized style right where
9358s you can just stick more and more on and
9360s you know you don't have to think right
9361s if I sell this what do I end on because
9363s that's normally the tough part exactly
9365s even turn in the late game what am I
9366s what am I able to actually end the turn
9368s with whereas this is like I'll just keep
9370s stacking mix it's great
9372s exactly before the minion remix you'd be
9374s playing that turn right and you'd be
9375s like okay I have to sell the candles
9378s because it's the only thing I can sell
9379s and I need to play more magnetics and
9381s that just already feels bad so I think
9383s it's a it's a wonderful change to have
9385s made
9389s I was going to say we left Waterloo with
9392s only one bumper up front before the
9395s deflectos but it looks like he has
9396s switched back and I am in favor of that
9398s because there are weird situations where
9401s just having your deflecto attacking
9403s second
9405s something might not have already died
9413s looks like there might just be a little
9414s too much this time around though
9416s I mean it's the reset doesn't survive
9419s the trade though on the other side which
9420s means I think Waterloo is going to be
9422s cooked we were slowly creeping towards
9426s 18 turns here as well by the way with
9429s the small hits coming through from
9431s Waterloo if he was going to end up
9432s winning this one but looks like on turn
9434s 15 Shiro is gonna take down the final
9438s game of Lobby a very very nicely done
9441s super mech-centric Lobby and actually in
9446s the end
9447s rawstat beat mix which is not something
9450s that normally happens
9451s normally normally Max very strong at
9453s eating raw stats especially with the
9455s pile of stats you can dump on with
9456s Magnetic now because you have a bunch of
9459s attack plus Divine Shield which tends to
9461s beat raw stats because all your stuff
9463s doubles up essentially right with the
9464s power of the Divine Shield but in the
9466s end just what four Boogie monsters
9468s actually ended up getting over the line
9470s there in terms of raw stats we're
9471s alongside I'm glad that that was one of
9474s the questions because I would have not
9475s assumed Boogie would have won a game
9476s yeah but here we go at tomb actually
9478s ending at the top with that extra four
9481s points for that yeah really nice team
9482s three yeah really well played I beat
9484s about it as we said pretty much locked
9486s in with that 14 points as well even
9489s though it did not have the best their
9490s third game as shirosa again with the
9492s Finish looking great and then uh penguin
9494s Sun as well so yeah look at that top
9497s four Soul there the four that are gonna
9498s go through yeah uh Penguins on two of my
9502s picks at the start of the day delighted
9504s to see those going through
9505s um I will try not to gloat too much
9507s because it's I feel like I've just
9508s already lost and we've got one whole
9510s group left oh there's no long wait it's
9512s a game of two halves Raymond we're all
9514s right you've got plenty of time hey a
9516s very unfortunate position for Matsuri
9518s again realizing now that you know
9520s putting a prediction question on a
9521s player having a really miserable day is
9523s probably not in the greatest taste
9525s overall uh but still Matsuri finishing
9527s with three and a half points does mean
9528s that anyone that picked no on the four
9531s points or sorry yes on the four points
9532s or less puzzle box question has been
9534s paid out as well so lots of very
9536s impactful things there overall but for
9537s the most part top four players going
9539s through to tomorrow that's the headline
9540s yep and that was just the first Lobby of
9542s two of the day so we're gonna get the
9544s second Lobby of players ready to go but
9546s while we do that we actually go to a
9548s quick break while we set them up and get
9549s them ready to play some more Hearthstone
9551s Battlegrounds don't go anywhere we'll be
9553s right back

10196s and welcome back to Lobby Legends spring
10200s Championship uh we are here ready to get
10202s on with Group B and I'm ready for this
10205s one Sol because that first group was
10207s pretty exciting we saw a lot of
10208s different different strategies play out
10209s we saw a lot of different types of uh
10211s you know minion type lobbies uh builds
10213s in there as well and I'm excited to see
10215s what the second group here brings to the
10217s table
10218s three very different games in lobby a
10222s which leads us in a bit of an unknown uh
10224s quantity because as I said quite often a
10228s lot uh Battlegrounds tournaments kind of
10229s dictate their own meta and they kind of
10231s React to what they see early on players
10234s who play later React to what happened
10235s earlier day two kind of reacts to day
10237s one uh but what we saw from Lobby a
10239s there was
10241s um super heavy stat scaling comps
10242s dominating in game one Beast dominating
10245s in game two and then Mex dominating in
10247s game three so there's really very little
10249s to go on in terms of whether there's an
10251s optimal order strategy coming out so far
10254s in this tournament so Lobby B just kind
10256s of have to figure things out for
10258s themselves at this point
10260s yep let's take a look at the players
10261s that are going to be competing uh in
10263s this group of course we're not really
10264s talked about too much how to focus on
10266s group a earlier on today uh of course
10268s and uh we do have some news for that one
10270s as well uh xqn will not be playing today
10273s and it has been replaced with Sauron I
10275s believe as well so they're going to be
10277s playing instead so of course we know the
10278s graphics have a xqn on them yeah but
10280s it's going to be Sauron who is going to
10282s be playing that one out so uh regardless
10285s of that subtle are there any names in
10287s this group that are really sticking out
10288s for you we can talk about the fancy
10289s picks in a little bit but any sort of
10291s just key names overall yeah um again you
10295s have to give the nod to Japan the kind
10297s of thing Hearthstone nod to Japan at
10299s this point again four Japanese players
10302s in this group uh Alex JP satellite
10304s tessera and yanase
10307s former Lobby Legends winner making a
10310s third appearance now in the tournament
10312s uh which is very very big deal as well
10314s but for me uh wty bill or uh or witty
10317s bill was I like to refer to him I
10319s believe Lobby Legends debut for uh Paul
10321s witty bill but a player that I'm always
10323s a big fan of uh whenever I'm in the same
10325s lobby with Bill just always seems to be
10327s absolutely crushing it I believe every
10330s time I've I've got to watch him all cast
10332s him in a tournament I've been very
10334s impressed with the decisions made and
10335s the way that uh he's playing the game so
10337s uh yeah big big favorite for me yeah I
10339s was going to say important not
10340s Battleground tournaments either we're
10342s talking about right uh what about
10344s Standard time it's a name we know quite
10346s well from there so a lot of great
10348s players and I do again kind of I'm
10350s completely with you I just think Japan
10351s uh is so strong I did think we saw some
10356s you know a little bit different a little
10357s bit unfortunate um at Syrian team we
10359s didn't make it through uh but we'll take
10361s a look at the uh the picks now for the
10363s um uh for the fancy draft so I'm scared
10366s after what just happened so
10369s I'm a little bit scared because the
10371s first group did not go well for me but I
10373s have confidence in my squad for groupie
10380s your picks are fairly solid I would say
10383s overall uh my picks unfortunately yet
10386s again are being displayed incorrectly uh
10388s I did not pick olliek
10391s so hopefully we can get that fixed as
10393s well and we can talk a little bit about
10395s who I did pick I actually need to remind
10396s myself of who I've been I was gonna say
10398s who did you pick yeah so I've got wty
10401s Bill uh tessera and satellite as my free
10404s picks for this group so I agree with you
10406s on satellite obviously as I you heard me
10409s talk about Bill there was probably a
10410s pretty good chance that bill was going
10411s to be on my picks overall
10413s um so yeah I think we differ fairly
10416s significantly this time around right
10417s both agreeing on satellite but apart
10419s from that I think big opportunity for
10422s you to uh pick up some much needed
10424s points in this one with how different we
10425s are yeah and there's a little bit of
10428s just a recap on the puzzle box questions
10430s of course we've still not had a game won
10431s by an Etc uh a player is not one without
10434s reaching Tavern five I believe
10437s uh we'll not go talk about next one uh
10440s we have not reached their turn 11
10442s without an elimination yet as far as I'm
10444s aware we've not done 18 turns and uh
10446s subtle is or we both got points for that
10449s one right because you've got one wrong I
10451s got one wrong yeah so I think that one's
10452s already done less than four points is
10454s already done with the correct answer
10455s being yes uh all the others still up in
10458s the air going into Lobby B yeah I feel
10461s like I should get bonus points for group
10462s a though because I actually didn't get a
10464s virus pressing wrong at all
10471s it was like one of those shows where you
10473s just make up the points as you go along
10475s so I'm pretty sure I'm on 8 million
10477s points right now sure that's how it
10478s works yeah sure but yeah just make sure
10480s to you know keep an eye on some of these
10482s outcomes especially if you've uh you
10484s know done some guesses yourself there's
10486s a lot on the line for air for everyone
10488s here mainly bragging rights but that's
10490s all we really have isn't it let's be
10491s honest so yeah really excited for this
10494s group honestly
10495s um I just want to see more Lobby Legends
10498s I just want to see more Battlegrounds
10499s because we've just had some really in
10501s interesting at first few games and like
10504s you said earlier I think it's cool to
10506s see if players will play like wildly
10509s differently or if we will see more of a
10511s okay this seems to be the competitive
10514s meta right if there's mechs in you know
10516s the Lobby's probably going to try and at
10518s least lean that way and obviously the
10520s bananas are always up for contention as
10523s well but then we saw something like
10525s obviously Boogie just win which was
10527s honestly just not something I thought I
10529s was even gonna come close to seeing this
10531s weekend Raven do you ever stop and
10533s reflect that like the actual thing that
10535s you do for a living involves saying
10537s things like well the bananas are still
10539s up for grabs and sometimes Boogie just
10541s wins like what are those words when you
10543s actually sit back and think about it
10545s there have been moments in my casting
10547s life where I've said a sentence and just
10549s think wow I just said that and it was
10552s relevant and made sense to some people
10554s it was what a weird world we live in
10556s right now
10557s um but yeah I think about things like
10558s that all the time because a lot of the
10560s time I think that I say stupid things
10562s and they are just stupid because that's
10563s also what I do quite well
10565s um but we are taking a look at some of
10566s the minions of already so had a large
10569s impact in the games we've seen scrap
10572s scraper I would argue is at the highest
10573s just because nearly everyone went for it
10575s that last game but we saw tethers pop
10578s off earlier on and then relax had a been
10580s involved to at least some degree yeah we
10582s do this is perfect right because this
10583s was game one game two game three uh
10585s Admiral won game one with the monster
10588s pirate stats rylack won game two because
10591s of uh tomb with the massive scaling with
10594s Shadow walk and going and then
10595s transitioning very quickly yeah to
10596s beasts right and then scraps oh no scrap
10598s scraper didn't win I guess because it
10600s ended up
10601s but it was very popular but yeah it was
10604s it the dominant strategy in game three
10606s overall so yeah we're pretty good at
10609s this Obama gives Obama medal I think
10611s overall on those choices for cars I want
10614s them yeah but we do see uh again I just
10617s want to see pigs that's what I'm after
10619s in these next three games uh because I
10622s do think they have some really cool
10623s mechanics and they can really snowball
10625s if you get you know I you know plus
10627s Health Plus attack and start stacking
10628s them you know one way or the other
10630s whether it's through a rylack or say a
10632s rivendare or something I do think the
10635s options there especially if we're gonna
10637s see players say well if you just you
10640s know hit the the sort of stacking blood
10642s gems then you can actually push people
10644s out really early because the actual
10645s stats you gain especially with a couple
10647s of divine Shields there as well can get
10649s really silly very quick right so there's
10652s a way that maybe it might not win a game
10654s but it could definitely push a lot of
10656s players out and maybe secure a top four
10658s yeah I think RDU threw a little bit of a
10661s pig among the pigeons a couple of days
10663s ago he kind of he posted a soft tier
10665s list on Twitter after all of the minion
10667s rollout
10669s um and actually put I think it was
10670s Elementals and quill ball as S2 in his
10672s tier list which I think took a lot of
10674s people by surprise
10675s um without you arguing that you know a
10677s lot of the stuff that you can do um some
10679s of the sort of Tavern for Tempo
10681s strategies that I was talking about
10682s earlier just make them really really
10684s consistent for plus MMR and they might
10686s not necessarily be winning lobbies but
10688s you can just get very few pieces and all
10690s of a sudden feel very very strong as
10692s either of those builds uh there is a
10694s strong amount of disagreement and some
10696s pushback that I've heard for that as
10697s well with a lot of people that think
10698s Elementals and quail Bora are two of the
10700s the weaker uh tribes overall but that's
10704s kind of the disagreement that comes with
10705s Battlegrounds right like I think in
10707s terms of player style you'll hear this
10710s is an eternal debate as old as time
10711s going back to constructed Hearthstone
10713s right is does style matter or is there a
10716s right play in a wrong play and I think
10718s that question is much more nebulous in
10720s Battlegrounds because right
10722s um the amount of options that are
10723s available in terms of you know I can buy
10725s this Minion or I can buy that many or I
10727s can level or I can roll and it's not 1v1
10729s and it's not 1v1
10731s so I think players will have more
10733s definable Styles when it comes to
10734s Battlegrounds than they necessarily do
10735s in constructed and that's where a
10737s preference over things like you know
10738s hyper roll hyper economy comps that come
10741s from Pirates or whatever over some sort
10742s of tempo thing on four will will make a
10745s big difference indeed but yeah certainly
10746s I think kobal have some tricks that they
10750s can do and they can certainly Tempo very
10752s very heavily not something that I've had
10753s a huge amount of success with personally
10755s but again my style is the greedy and go
10757s for economy in general so I will
10759s importantly missing some of those lines
10762s overall when we were playing the other
10763s day so our blood gems did at least plus
10765s 15 attack okay that happened oh that's
10768s true which is a victory in itself I will
10771s say as well this of course will again
10773s something I really enjoy about Lobby
10775s Legends is it will change a little bit
10777s over time because today players are
10779s fighting to get top four to finish top
10782s four after three games right tomorrow
10784s that changes because to actually win the
10786s tournament you need to win one of the
10789s games a little bit later on so that is
10792s where things like for example quill
10793s balls might well fall off because if we
10795s have a player playing to win the game
10797s and win the tournament they probably
10799s won't be going or planning to go quail
10802s bars yeah and there's also a middle
10804s ground in that where you might be at 17
10806s points 18 points or something so you
10809s need to achieve step one first which is
10810s reach 20 points and if you're suddenly
10812s going into a Lobby and you only need to
10813s pick up two or three points to get over
10815s that line suddenly some sort of Tavern 4
10818s gaming strategy does make a little bit
10820s more sense to try and just you know play
10822s mix play cool board play Elementals
10824s whatever it is just try and stabilize
10825s for as long as possible let other people
10827s die around you pick up that couple of
10829s points that you need to put the lobby
10831s into check and then you can switch to a
10833s greedy hero go super economy go for the
10835s win in the next game if you really do
10836s have to be a little bit adaptable and
10839s it's another reason why I do kind of
10840s like the format and like the system
10841s because it's rare that if you're a very
10844s Tempo focused player if you're a player
10846s that just finishes in third place every
10848s single Lobby and climbs MMR very very
10850s easily because of it you will at some
10852s point have to adapt to to find a way to
10855s to play greedier and find that win over
10857s the line and vice versa if you're a
10859s super high rolly player always looking
10861s to spike win conditions you will have to
10863s look for those moments where your point
10865s total dictates that you just play a
10867s little bit safer and scrape out of
10868s fourth place um the argument you can
10870s present against that is that there is
10872s still like an average MMR play right and
10874s you should always just go for the
10875s highest average MMR play overall and the
10878s situation doesn't necessarily change
10880s that as much as you think it does and
10882s that's probably where the player Style
10884s versus optimal play argument then comes
10887s back into town Marching In on its horse
10889s but yeah I think it's an interesting
10891s discussion to have overall so here we
10893s are yeah and uh just so you guys know we
10895s are trying to you know just working on
10896s getting the players already and good to
10898s go I want them to be smooth for them as
10900s possible of course but yeah I'm just
10902s looking forward to this one I think it's
10903s going to be a good one I hope we get to
10904s see and maybe some more mechs because
10906s although we've seen a lot of mechs
10909s previously
10910s um we haven't seen them go I would say
10913s we've not seen them really pop off right
10915s because I've seen you know some Mech
10916s boards that really just the stats get
10920s very very silly if you can start doing
10922s the multi magnetize things so there's
10924s definitely that uh what do you talk to
10926s me about Undead because that's something
10928s that we've talked about I think
10930s everyone's thought about but I would say
10931s like
10932s someone dead minions are good of course
10934s but what is the what's the problem like
10937s can anyone do anything with Undead or do
10940s you think everyone will be avoiding it
10941s like the plague
10943s um very good Undead play big fan
10946s um however uh so there's a couple of
10948s problems right
10950s he's massively on like your Undead
10953s attack horror generally with most builds
10956s of it right you have lots of tokens lots
10957s of re-summons so your goal is to get
10959s that aura of how much attack your
10961s summons have as high as possible there
10963s are a few ways that you can do that
10965s rylack is one of them there you go
10967s Center Square of the bingo card subtle
10969s mentions rylack again
10971s um however you know you might have plus
10974s 30 on your Undead attack Aura your
10977s opponent's gonna have 300 300 dragons or
10979s 300 300 pirates on the other side right
10981s so you're still going to need an
10982s incredible amount of resumes to be able
10984s to fight that then on the other side
10986s even if you're dealing with summon comps
10988s right like say dragons are out Pirates
10989s are out like the stack King builds are
10991s out well you're then probably in an
10993s undead Beast Lobby and then beasts are
10996s better at doing summon comps than on
10998s dead up because you can get your Undead
11001s attack or as high as you can but the sum
11003s the Beast builds are going to have
11005s reborn on everything anyway they're
11006s going to have a rat pack that refills
11008s their entire board they're going to be
11009s base killing stuff out of their hands
11010s going to be getting massive so just in
11012s terms of like individual attacks you're
11014s going to lose a straight up fight to
11015s Beast as well so it's really hard to
11018s find a niche where being pure Undead is
11021s the way to go
11022s the one usefulness I think Undead do
11025s have though which is really really good
11026s is the same way as I was talking about
11027s quill ball they can Splash really nicely
11030s into other builds so for example the
11032s five drop which gives another undead
11034s reborn you can have that on your board
11036s alongside a radio star and then you have
11038s a nice economy boost for your board
11040s right your radio star gets reborn it
11042s attacks if your opponent has a taunt you
11044s probably get like a pair of that taunt
11046s that you're going from which is really
11047s really nice and then also the venomous
11050s murloc is actually hybrid murloc Undead
11052s as well so you can actually do that same
11053s thing with the five drop give the undead
11055s murloc rebuild right and then suddenly
11057s you're working on a little bit of an old
11059s school poison scam kind of situation
11061s which you can Splash into a different
11062s board as well
11064s um so overall I think Undead more of a
11066s support class than it is a straight up
11067s thing that you you lean into but talking
11069s time is over Raven it is time for some
11072s action we have some Battlegrounds in
11073s front of us
11074s at 100 it's gonna be game one of Lobby
11077s be here and already some Heroes we've
11080s not had a good look at so far and I
11083s think that's the thing you kind of have
11084s forget about is just how many heroes are
11086s actually in Battlegrounds right now and
11088s we've seen Lich King we've seen Reno
11090s we've seen the Sky Captain uh pyramid as
11093s well uh there's a lot even AFK which I
11096s think AFK at least when I've played
11099s against it so it feels quite strong in
11101s this current meta
11104s yes AFK this this is the setup for AFK I
11108s would say
11109s um Peace in demons in
11111s beast in means monster rylack right
11114s that's just the absolute juice straight
11116s away demons in means you can hit dancing
11118s malkazar straight away as well which is
11120s the absolute nuts in terms of being able
11122s to get stuff going with those three
11123s rolls early on so lots of good stuff
11126s that are available to the AFK I think
11128s that will be a crucial decision uh you
11131s might want to consider holding on to
11132s those bandwagon picks as well until you
11134s see what afk's that's a good point I'll
11136s be honest I have forgot about bandwagon
11138s already because I'm just like staying at
11140s all the heroes like oh okay who's who's
11141s playing what we do have mutinous as well
11145s in the lobby for Sauron and I know you
11147s recently had a very fun Mew to this game
11149s uh so we'll see if anything uh any kind
11151s of uh you know big plays come out of
11153s sauron's side of the board over there
11155s yeah no murlocs in this Lobby though
11157s which was oh sure the game that Raven
11160s was referring to if murlocs are in you
11162s can just do the handbuff stuff with
11163s mutinous very very easily and just you
11165s know dump that minion onto your board
11167s hero power it keep sticking it on one or
11169s two individual minions you have on board
11170s over and over again pick some premium
11172s stuff make big Cleaves make big Divine
11174s Shields Etc really really good stuff but
11177s not something that's available in this
11178s Lobby
11191s y'all doing great out there
11194s [Music]
11196s both of us just go a little quiet as we
11198s got our bandwagon picks in at the same
11200s oh we did the same oh we did do the
11202s Savers I picked it first I was saying
11205s you see Lee take a nice early little
11207s swipe at Reno there
11210s just gonna start there working on that
11212s armor but here we go this is where
11214s things might disaster
11218s things might change okay Legion overseer
11221s is in that demon pool as well of good
11223s three drops to be able to hit as I was
11224s mentioning earlier demons really really
11226s good choice to have available not a
11228s powerful minion type overall I would say
11230s but in terms of just spiking stuff
11231s immediately on turn three
11234s okay uh so is this gonna be like pig
11237s into micro
11240s foreign
11251s you can just double Buy on the next turn
11253s right two five three should still be
11255s enough to win you the fight you would
11256s expect uh it won't be as it turns out
11259s but you would oh no no because there's a
11260s blood gem coming down as well actually
11262s so it will still be enough to win this
11263s fight against the three suits someone
11265s looking quite good though with the three
11267s six uh you know already getting there
11269s got a low flyer as well off that so not
11271s looking too bad that minion looks a
11272s little bit more scary when it's uh
11274s paired with mutinous
11277s changed I've hopped on the AFK
11280s okay I'm gonna stick there okay
11284s unless not unless
11289s so yeah just a reminder of how the
11291s bandwagon stuff works um obviously you
11293s can't see me doing this but I made a
11294s choice on turn two I've then changed
11295s that choice on turn three I'm allowed to
11297s do that as many times as I want the only
11298s penalty is that I've now done it a turn
11300s later so the turn you choose which
11302s affects the amount of points that you
11303s have
11312s with the uh
11314s profit coming down as well
11320s looks like Lee has a triple on offer yep
11325s too bad at all
11329s uh from so from the information we have
11331s Reno and nosdormu are both still on
11334s Tavern two neither of them are power
11336s leveled and both characters that whose
11340s hero power has not had a significant
11341s impact on the game just yet I think
11343s unless you have some sort of indication
11345s otherwise those dormu is likely to have
11348s seen slightly better shops than Reno at
11350s this point in the game right that's the
11351s only tiebreaker that I can really think
11352s of yeah it's going to be tricky though
11354s because there are some pretty big
11356s Harvest Golems on Reno's side I believe
11357s yeah or at least one big Harvest Golem
11360s should I say
11361s well there's four six
11363s is gonna get the job done
11366s though
11371s and oh you big dum-dum will be done
11375s honestly
11376s it was the subtle pick
11378s yeah I don't know if Lee gets phone a
11381s friend or not I don't know if that's how
11383s it works
11385s you just picked barov and then just
11387s phone the casters like um so I've got uh
11390s who's winning can you check their boards
11392s for me please yeah you just ring up the
11394s rinder like hey uh you can see all eight
11396s boards right
11397s to confirm that is there not what
11398s happens no absolutely not uh can we have
11401s a check-in back with the AFK please see
11403s how things have progressed from here if
11404s at all possible
11408s unless it's Lorinda that's AFK
11410s oh wait can I still change
11415s turn five
11416s oh
11418s uh just to wrap things up mindmark does
11421s actually not do anything in combat uh
11423s there was a tweet originally I think
11425s from Gia who said for a second the shop
11428s eating effect did actually work with
11430s freilac in combat in a certain build but
11433s they quickly removed that one because it
11436s you know it feels like just eating your
11437s opponent's menu I would have loved that
11439s I would have loved that I'm a big fan of
11442s like historic like Battlegrounds matters
11445s where it is just one comp you go for and
11447s everyone goes for it and whoever gets it
11449s wins That's my kind of Battleground
11451s right but when it's it's a Tavern 3
11453s minion with a one drop or a two drop I
11456s think that's probably a little bit too
11458s much it's like turbo mode Battlegrounds
11460s right it would be great yeah yeah
11464s all right gonna take a small hit here is
11466s AFK all that's the worst hit in the end
11468s though in terms of cutting down damage
11469s seven probably a little bit yeah they're
11471s much for satellite yeah they'll be
11472s taking
11475s let's have another look at satellite for
11478s a turn if at all possible here this
11479s could be crucial turn satellite needs to
11481s get very strong very quickly from this
11483s position
11486s thank you very much oh hello
11491s are we gonna see a second player skip
11493s Elemental no okay okay
11496s oh my God
11501s yo
11505s are we paying three health for a nine
11507s seven I think we are right it gets us so
11509s strong so quickly yeah love it
11511s absolutely love it oh again
11518s you know what I think we're okay
11523s you could still freeze this because next
11524s turn you can go like level and then buy
11527s Mickey eater yeah and then the picky
11529s eater is just massive next term for
11531s Tempo it's worth considering I think the
11533s Sora has a nice uh selection of options
11535s here utility drone Boombox murazon not
11538s sure who they fought last for that
11540s morrisoned I apologize but uh either way
11543s it's not a bad set of options
11546s no they are very mono minion it appears
11549s from just the state of this board
11550s there's like a 2020 picky eater and not
11553s a lot else it looks like going on I know
11554s they do have a they have a Jesse as well
11556s okay
11558s do you think as well like in a worst
11560s case scenario like Boombox it is just a
11562s good minion right it's not like oh I
11565s need to be maxed now it's just good it
11567s does enough especially this early in the
11569s game
11571s oh my God look at the state of this
11575s the problem is
11577s this is milking and winning right or at
11579s least doing good enough
11581s oh wins the fight though just the break
11583s points not end up being good enough
11585s Boombox absolutely defended
11587s puts the AFK in damage cap range huge
11592s outcome for the AFK for satellite
11597s oh my goodness
11600s every turn it's just like oh you wanted
11603s the perfect stuff here's the perfect
11605s stuff
11607s would you like to know more
11613s discover a minion that you're selling
11615s probably
11616s like if they're honestly I think the bet
11618s I think the best outcome here would have
11619s been uh turtle and blue show right
11625s do you not want parrot I mean it's a
11627s little risky because you're mono tall
11629s yeah if you go second yourself I was
11631s even looking at the bronze
11634s that's what I mean right like blue shell
11636s you could sell two or three minions from
11637s your board alongside the blue show and
11639s just buy this whole shop and be very
11641s happy about it to be fair you could take
11642s a good minion sell the seventh floor and
11644s sell the other dog
11645s air true
11648s oh
11653s this is kind of what I'm talking about
11654s right yeah you take a Battle Cry to sell
11656s sale and then buy the parrot yeah this
11657s is exactly right satellite all in yep
11660s seoul's new favorite player absolutely I
11662s mean 100 finally finally someone that
11664s plays like me
11667s oh again
11669s now with reborn from the Lich King see
11672s now we're getting a full-on roulette
11673s game yeah
11677s yeah find someone that looks at you the
11679s way subtle looks at ryla yep and then in
11683s a minute we can check in with wty Bill
11685s just to see if that Reno hero power has
11687s been used or not good champ I think wait
11691s it's a 612 golden but I'm not sure what
11693s it is
11702s wty bills
11704s I was golden Scrappy
11707s okay
11715s it's left but that uh
11716s what satellite just gets 15 to this turn
11719s if we ever thought about that
11722s um again double-edged sword for me
11726s it's on my fantasy you picked him for
11728s the win
11731s let's have a little look yeah Arena
11734s yeah all in on the max yep w2i builds
11739s just one one uh module away from a good
11741s time right now yes please yes please
11743s sign me up that was a beautiful shot Duo
11748s to start cooking let him cook pick up a
11750s couple of extra scrap scrapers alongside
11752s the course of the game but then also uh
11754s just the my goodness what is that imp
11757s matron something is that right matron
11760s yeah yeah cool uh picking that up as
11762s well double two and one whammy right you
11764s have the taunts and you have the death
11766s rattle summons as well so you're gonna
11767s get really really good milk from the
11770s scrap scraper here as well really good
11771s stuff yeah and the fact is golden like
11773s this board might not look that good
11775s right now but honestly fast forward one
11777s to two turns and we could be seeing
11779s fireworks from doing too high Bill hmm
11782s and what do you make of a pyramid by the
11784s way as well because uh we see we've not
11786s really had too much time with oleic so
11788s far this game but uh pyramid definitely
11790s not a bad hero but maybe more of a gain
11794s MMR hero as opposed to win Lobby hero
11796s would you yeah oh yeah and I'll be 100
11799s honest with you I have played zero games
11801s of pyramid in this meta and probably in
11804s the body meta as well Paramount is just
11807s one of those Heroes generally if there's
11808s a hero it's like press a button gain
11810s some stats my brain just falls out of my
11813s ears when I see it like I I just get
11815s bored playing those types of heroes and
11816s tend to avoid so whereas I played
11818s pyramid today there you go
11822s yeah it definitely felt like a
11825s you were never gonna get like six to
11827s eight
11828s but you're never getting first it was my
11831s experience and from what I've seen from
11832s other players as well sure
11835s all right it's uh see the milk
11839s gets the double drop from the IM single
11841s drop from the torn a little bit of
11843s protection so that is two cards
11847s oh nice value trade as well on the coil
11850s ball and the Boombox actually kind of
11853s doing wty bill a favor right because
11855s there's a value trade gets it oh the
11858s value train on the scrapscape is so huge
11860s that's two more cards there was a one in
11863s three that he had to hit to get the VT
11865s and that's two plus two cards and wins
11868s the fight because of the value trade as
11870s well that was such an easy one and three
11871s at the end
11872s oh lee going down to six health
11877s can we get a satellite check please
11883s oh yeah yeah this is the stuff
11889s I was gonna say you're getting your
11890s filamental triple right I'm not sure
11892s what's happening here if we're not
11894s getting a filamental triple we're gonna
11895s start starting that stacking that Battle
11897s Master as well
11899s yeah uh ball positioning is very awkward
11901s here
11902s and I don't think he can really afford
11904s to breed too much
11907s so I think he has to all in the uh the
11909s Mind eater that he has in hand as well
11910s for Max stats
11912s news selling out something awkward that
11915s you had on board but anyway we are back
11917s in Mech World here uh lee needs a Mech
11920s to put this stuff on before he really
11922s gets started
11924s yeah
11926s because you don't want to be dropping it
11927s on your scrap scrapers
11929s yeah is this really gonna have to be a
11931s play oh it is okay oh he does drop it on
11933s the screen
11938s yeah I mean 6 hp I guess right no time
11940s to be messing around yeah I'm actually
11942s just surprised this I I guess this was
11945s the idea I I think I would have looked
11947s at because of the extra gold just do
11949s another roll for like one roll for a Mac
11952s for one goal just to see but uh not only
11954s decided to just dump it on one scrap
11956s scraper and see what happens got the
11957s choice now between Sky Captain crack and
11959s those darmu a crack has used the hero
11961s power I believe we did see yeah I say a
11963s little bit earlier okay didn't take note
11965s of that
11967s I might I'm sure they used it
11982s oh double milk on the taunts is huge I
11985s think this is the better outcome in
11987s terms of juice
11988s yep
11991s double three two is obviously a little
11993s bit more Tempo but this gives you the
11994s taunts for a bit longer to for security
11997s how hard is
11999s wty Bill gonna get hit here though
12002s I mean damage cap is still on so can't
12004s die but that yeah that banana yeah
12007s that's what it means had a significant
12010s impact on the outcome of this fight in
12012s terms of damage taken
12014s and it looks like he might get killed
12021s yep absolutely gonna get damage Captain
12023s yeah
12024s wow
12025s really rough outcome there for wty Bill
12040s it's pretty tricky now as well because
12042s with thesaurus sitting at 14 also in the
12045s danger zone I was even just glancing at
12047s that parrot you know because of Boombox
12049s like and even this air matron it's a
12053s significant amount of extra damage
12057s where are we turn 10 yeah
12059s for sure yeah that was going to get you
12063s places
12066s satellite has not lost a single point of
12069s HP since those a couple of early hits
12071s that you have to take to set up still
12073s hanging around on 15.
12076s and Lobby's starting to equalize as well
12078s right everyone else is starting to get
12079s dragged down to satellites level in
12081s terms of health total wait
12084s wasn't it turn 11 with no kills
12087s yes yes it was turned 10. great there's
12091s a chance
12092s there is a chance
12101s oh yeah picked up the general
12105s yeah
12106s wording exactly yes will a game reach
12109s turn 11 so if everyone survives this
12111s fight then we have a yes on a puzzle box
12114s question again
12118s this is kind of the point of what I was
12119s talking about earlier right in my
12120s experience with the Paramount It's like
12122s olliex got a nice amount of stats but
12126s none of it looks game-winning does it
12133s might just be game losing actually
12134s because
12136s I clean up a lot still has a 30 30 left
12139s hanging out over on the left-hand side
12140s though yeah and these booms are gonna
12142s hit some one ones not relevant all one
12144s HP though
12146s know what you want to be seeing survival
12148s though loses oh tight oh yeah it's huge
12152s for the puzzle box
12154s think
12155s I think we might have got them
12159s all the reset that's enough
12162s pause Champy's
12165s yeah so they're fine over there
12175s ding ding ding oh
12178s there we go wow quite the Rarity I
12182s didn't see it coming I can't remember
12183s what I said I want to say no I was gonna
12185s say did we both have yes I think we sure
12186s I had yes
12188s I don't know
12190s scared to even think about it at this
12191s point oh Baron as well now oh it's also
12194s filthy the filamental is gone though
12200s the elemental's gone do you think being
12202s on 15 has done this for satellite
12206s has done this but at the same time you
12208s are now in first place so yeah but I
12212s wonder when they've sold the filamental
12213s right because
12215s so yeah it's um
12217s it depends when they sold it right
12220s because if they showed it before all of
12221s this happened then yeah fair enough it
12223s may have just been going right then as
12225s we cut in I'm not sure there was a
12226s minion being sold I didn't quite catch
12227s what it was it might have just been the
12229s filamental at that point
12230s only going up to 725 this turn
12234s tricky as well because it going this
12236s long without anyone dying means that
12237s there's no like no safety turns right no
12240s ghost fights uh that are normally
12242s Happening by now yeah no ghost fights
12244s and now no one in the lobby can abuse
12246s damage cap right because everyone is
12248s below 15 anyway so this is you know
12251s there is a real threat of just getting
12252s ate from a position that would have felt
12254s pretty strong for you a couple of turns
12256s ago
12259s well absolutely brutal first Lobby air
12261s first game Sorry mm-hmm
12266s simply see just like four players die
12268s together it's inherently possible
12271s honestly just an absolute Thanos snap of
12274s a turn and just half the lobby dies
12279s let's see
12282s versus uh Janice on the other side of
12284s this board against Sun
12287s well that was it what a champion just
12290s tanks they're there
12293s looks like good refreshes are gonna come
12295s on the Divine Shields though because
12296s these one ones are going to delay the
12298s attack order significantly now for
12301s Janice peeled one yeah it does get one
12303s out there oh the Leroy though Leroy hit
12306s the biggest target which means this is
12308s going to be going down for Sauron and
12311s that is equal damage as well so Janice
12313s is going to be one off if not our only
12315s first players out in this spot
12319s oh
12321s oh it looks like a wind there right the
12323s leaf wait no too much leads going as
12325s well Lee's going as well
12332s and so is the Reno witty bill has bitten
12337s the dust as well oh no oh no
12341s huge huge swing not the four players we
12344s predicted but three players all going
12346s down here and now to Surah what is my
12348s friend what have you been doing since
12350s the last time we've been over here
12352s golden dracari golden Duo Golden Light
12356s Fang this is kind of the end of turn
12358s King board that I was talking about a
12360s couple of games ago when we were
12361s recapping uh Lobby a this is exactly the
12363s full investment banking at this point
12365s yeah true
12367s oh
12371s this is a good pick well done Lorinda
12374s this is this is a close fight I think
12377s and it's a very hidden close fight as
12380s well
12392s what are we on this is four right
12395s straight shot coming down interesting
12402s see as we have another recap if you're
12403s wondering what's going on right now if
12404s you are watching on Twitch you will see
12406s the tavern buddy extension if you
12407s haven't been doing this all day you've
12409s missed out on a little bit of fun but
12410s you can still join in uh open up the
12412s twitch extension the tab and Buddy pick
12413s a winner of this fight under the barrel
12415s of blessings section
12419s Baron pick up does that do anything not
12421s really
12422s uh yeah oh a lot of gold though
12426s a lot of gold yeah
12431s very close yeah we have agreed
12435s I do try and let the viewers know at
12437s home so all their purposely waits for me
12439s to make a prediction first before then
12441s that's not true I wait until one second
12444s is left on the road like if you do it
12446s with three seconds the Rope that's not
12447s my problem is it come on
12450s we've had been over here to check this
12452s out
12453s but this is what I mean by concealed
12455s close fight right if you looked at the
12457s raw numbers on the board it didn't look
12458s particularly close but then you when you
12460s factor in all of that end of time
12462s scaling that was coming in from the
12465s Golden Light Fang the fort and the
12467s golden Jakari and the normal life
12470s and the normal light bang as well this
12472s one got a little bit closer down to the
12474s wire it's a lot of damage that's a lot
12476s of damage indeed
12483s gone now
12485s sorry siren sorry not experiment oh
12487s never mind that's at least Al yet gone
12489s now
12490s got him you're a prophet yep
12497s Mega Alex picking up a ghost fight very
12500s very much appreciated I'm sure in that
12503s scenario
12505s but now has to fight satellite which uh
12508s yeah I think it's time for a satellite
12509s update if we can
12512s breaking news from satellite
12516s looking all right it's just an imp on
12519s the board now with a million health
12521s yeah so fairly early on and I think
12524s sensibly so I will concede at this point
12527s that I would have greeted filamental for
12529s longer than satellite did here
12531s um and I think satellites made a much
12532s better decision than I would have done
12533s satellite switch very early to the
12535s Battle Master right which is a temporary
12537s Tempo buff as opposed to a permanent
12541s value buff right yeah because the Battle
12543s Master will get huge in combat but it
12545s then resets because in combat Buffs are
12548s fake they're not real you don't keep
12549s them for the rest of the game
12550s um so that's kind of the key with rylack
12552s a lot of the time is you have to find
12553s ways to cheat right like the undead buff
12555s minion says buff your attack for the
12557s rest of this game therefore it's right
12559s past the end of the combat filamentals
12562s affect the shot so it's not an in combat
12564s path because it's affecting the shop
12566s um blood gems can add blood gems to your
12567s hand coins can add coins to your hand
12569s drakazath can add dragons to your hand
12572s so you get to keep your hand at the end
12573s of the fight lots of ways that you can
12575s cheat and kind of break that rule of in
12576s combat stuff not being permanent
12579s um but satellite kind of gave up on some
12580s of that stuff and went no I'm just gonna
12582s be strong for every fight yeah the rest
12584s of the game from this point which yeah
12586s smart stuff yeah it's interesting isn't
12588s it when we're in game one of a uh you
12590s know three game Lobby that you go yeah
12593s you could you have that option of saying
12595s you know what I'm just not gonna get
12596s blasted out of this game right and I'll
12598s just start pushing other players out
12599s which would actually increase my point
12601s so
12602s no
12605s it's so big
12608s and it's still at the point in the game
12610s because we've not seen any Mega
12611s accelerated pumps right so like just
12615s this health and 37 attack is enough
12618s there's a lot of the time even this
12621s volume of Health would not be enough
12623s against some other comps right because
12624s they're hitting for hundreds well 37 in
12627s this on in this Lobby in this game seems
12629s to be good enough
12630s see that sometimes with the upbeat
12633s Elemental right if you get a golden
12634s upbeat Elemental and it starts copying
12636s and doubling its own health over and
12638s over again you'll see like a several
12640s thousand Health uh Elemental but it only
12642s has like four attack or whatever right
12644s you just have your fight is about three
12646s minutes long but you don't end up doing
12647s enough damage to get over the line but
12649s when you're in situations like this as
12651s Lorinda will be very keen to remind you
12653s if you have a 200 Health minion and you
12655s add one attack to that minion you've
12657s just got a lot stronger because that
12659s Health pool will allow you to have
12661s multiple attacks over and over and it
12663s looks like uh tesora survived the ghost
12665s fights that was an easy extra point
12667s these are the sort of little things you
12669s hope for when you play in this kind of
12670s format right is oh if there's three I
12673s really want to be you know the one
12674s fighting the ghost because that might
12676s just be one more Point towards
12678s qualifying for tomorrow
12680s I mean tasura is cooking this game
12685s it's great and if there's one thing you
12687s want to do to uh be up on rylac readers
12691s big cleave big cleave is the end of all
12695s rylac boards and uh he's gonna decimate
12698s this battle Master if it connects
12700s properly in one hit
12705s the question is though does to Surah
12707s know
12708s what's on the other side from satellite
12711s point
12712s I was also wondering like
12714s how much this normal light Fang is
12718s sticking around or not
12720s it's just a normal life it's innocent
12723s life
12728s because you've got to think now It's
12730s tricky because the four six and the
12732s other light Fang but even just looking
12734s at this selfless right it's like oh hang
12736s on a minute you get an extra Divine
12737s Shield that's it right you need to find
12740s a tech card that is worth and I'll tell
12742s you what Cinder eye straight shot is yes
12745s small here's another so here's another
12747s good Tech card to fight rylack players
12749s small Cinder eye straight shot you don't
12752s want to kill the rylack you just want to
12754s attack it yeah have it live and then it
12757s doesn't have taunt anymore and you get a
12758s free attack at everything else you
12760s expose the meaty Center of your
12762s opponent's board
12767s oh these players have definitely seen
12769s each other's boards away this
12771s positioning yeah yeah yeah
12774s there you go single solitary snipe on
12777s that Battle Master that's a huge outcome
12779s though hitting the uh the golden demon
12782s instead of the rylak pumping infinite
12784s health around everywhere else on the
12786s board misses it the second time though
12787s which is a big loss
12790s and yeah not gonna be enough
12792s 370 Health on this Baron is not going to
12794s get there I'm afraid the old 18 attack
12796s is just not cutting it anymore
12800s is there a live angle there might be
12804s I think there is a live angle
12807s start going right please yep
12815s now attack that's horn instead of the
12816s hundred attack okay
12818s it's like Helms Deep
12820s though right still alive yeah still
12822s alive
12824s on MoGo and this is where the mind games
12826s begin
12827s indeed
12828s so Tech card search has to be on
12831s satellite here
12834s tough to know what you'd really be
12835s looking for Leroy would be huge you
12838s could just pop a LeRoy next to your
12840s taunts and let the cleave smash into it
12842s and take care of itself I think that
12843s could be a potentially uh big winner for
12845s you uh Leroy is dangerous though because
12847s you have reborn power on board and
12849s parrot Leroy has pretty horrific
12852s anti-synergy
12855s it's a big boom
12860s taking a roll for Golden Battle Master
12863s sure
12866s [Music]
12870s the rylac just went yeah the rylac just
12872s went guaranteeing the uh uh the death
12875s rattle proc on the trickster right which
12878s I think it's smart yeah it's probably
12879s worth more overall because that's the
12881s problem right you could give something
12882s with maybe more attack yeah but that's
12884s it right there's only really one
12886s attacking card the satellite right now
12889s which is the m Leroy Leroy Leroy Leroy
12891s first then parrots
12894s surely not
12896s surely not
12902s oh
12905s interesting okay so he is going for the
12907s tour next to the cleave thing that I was
12909s talking about but he now has this uh
12911s lost condition of the parrots whipping
12914s and cinderai straight shot has been
12915s picked up as a tech card as well oh one
12918s in seven Snipes the parrot are you
12921s kidding oh okay okay so Leroy's gained
12924s uh
12925s arguably too much help
12929s okay trickster gets pumped anyway
12931s so no parrot value to be had this is so
12934s strange and then the cleave just smacked
12937s it anyway
12938s and just doesn't kill it
12941s this is a dub oh this Reborn attack
12944s could be huge yeah and that's game yeah
12949s yeah wow really weird end game and I
12953s kind of love it
12956s like it was definitely on satellite to
12958s make something happen there and do a bit
12959s of a switch but to sora's air comp was
12962s really cool there
12963s um with that sort of uh the end turn
12966s can't again just another thing we're
12968s talking about it's not like uh oh it's
12970s you know it's it's exact met comp again
12972s oh it's this that and again we did get
12974s to see this really cool and again
12976s creative comp of just uh this end of
12978s turn effects with the light fangs and
12980s the golden dracari and making it work
12982s and that was really cool to see so again
12983s I noticed Sora I think he's on your
12985s fantasy team but regardless of their
12988s points between ourselves I'll never be
12990s upset seeing some great gameplay so uh
12993s congratulations for Tesoro taking that
12994s one yeah also nearly got fully rewarded
12998s for the bandwagon pivot I pivoted from
13001s uh wty Bill to satellite which you know
13003s did improve my points overall
13005s um but nearly managed to pick up the win
13006s on that one as well but yeah really
13008s really interesting end game for sure
13010s um and nice to see the end of turn stuff
13012s happening because I did talk about it or
13013s all starting of course with the drakari
13015s enchanter upbeat Duo interaction and
13017s then you use those two cards to feed
13019s each other you can just start tripling
13020s stuff at will very very powerful stuff
13023s very well played from tesora yeah that
13025s was just game one if you've just joined
13026s us throughout that game just a quick
13028s reminder we've only got two more games
13030s left for today so make sure you stick
13032s around to catch them we are going to go
13034s to a quick break while we set up game
13035s number two don't go anywhere we'll be

13257s getting ready to go into our second game
13259s but before we do so we have a couple of
13261s announcements uh just in terms of the
13263s tavern of Buddy uh system you have on
13266s Twitch uh just for the fantasy picture
13268s if you picked xqn uh you will
13271s automatically be given Sauron so you
13274s won't miss out on a whole pick you still
13276s have a player in there and although
13278s those numbers will not immediately
13280s update uh once today's stream is over
13283s that will all update ready for tomorrow
13285s so again just to quickly go over it if
13287s you picked extra in your fancy uh picks
13290s you will get Sauron instead
13292s and we can see what the other most
13294s popular picks were alongside this olliek
13297s taking home the crown in terms of
13298s popularity vote with 45 no great
13301s surprise uh French Community together
13303s strong we certainly know that yeah from
13305s many many years of uh various
13308s competitive Hearthstone stuff but
13309s overall pretty even spread of picks
13311s across the world I would say especially
13313s as uh xqn who I'm sure was a very
13316s popular pick all of those people are now
13317s over rooting for Sauron as well so
13319s boosting up his numbers a little bit you
13321s don't see a lot of respect as well for
13323s satellite and yanase players you know
13326s Battleground uh Lobby Legends followers
13327s will of course know uh satellite picked
13330s up the second place there to sorry with
13331s that very impressive first and then a
13333s pretty even spread after that like
13335s honestly I think you're only feeling
13337s good about things if your tesora and
13339s satellite right now because just of how
13342s evenly you know Janice wty Bill and Lee
13344s going out together meaning one point
13346s each keeping that even and then oleic
13348s and Soren going 3.5 Points each as well
13350s so as usual with this format subtle
13352s everything up for grabs yeah uh triple
13355s kill into double kill means that there
13357s are definitely still two slots to fight
13360s for and six players fighting for it and
13362s that's not to say that the top two have
13364s locked up those places either like they
13366s can have disastrous performances but
13367s they are in the driver's seat for sure
13369s um but no one really looking out of it
13371s just yet will have a much better picture
13372s after game two you would imagine but as
13374s Raven said very even spread with the
13377s sort of Rapid Fire deaths in
13378s synchronicity making it all the way to
13380s turn 11 fulfilling the puzzle box
13382s question and then everyone just getting
13384s smoked in Rapid succession from there
13386s and just uh touching on the fact that
13388s we've seen so many different comps right
13390s now are there any I know it's difficult
13392s because they're pretty flexible but are
13394s there any significant comps we haven't
13396s seen yet uh question I guess Undead
13399s doesn't count
13400s um but we've seen end of turn we've seen
13402s Max beasts uh dragons
13406s uh what am I not thinking about Pirates
13409s apms yeah
13412s um yeah it will borrow a significant
13414s comp I don't know I guess that's yeah so
13416s if you haven't really seen quilbo have
13418s an impact yet we haven't seen Elementals
13420s have an impact yet um and Elementals do
13422s have a couple of builds you can go for
13424s Nomi kinda sucks but Nomi always kind of
13427s sucks until it doesn't right right you
13429s can't you can't just hit the nuts on an
13431s early uh know me and come away with it
13433s and then there is of course the upbeat
13434s Elemental scaling that I was talking
13436s about as well there's a lot of ways to
13437s go about it uh quill balls we haven't
13439s seen have any significant impact but in
13441s terms of like the big hitters for me I
13445s feel like we have seen most of what I
13447s would be looking to play in most lobbies
13450s that IQ into uh so far throughout one
13453s and speaking of big hitters subtle uh so
13456s far we've got satellite on shoulder walk
13458s and to soar on scabs as well which can
13461s definitely cause some Havoc uh so we'll
13464s have to see it Soren going on there
13465s going for the old extra Health which is
13467s a that's something I thought I would see
13469s this weekend yeah I was talking about
13471s this recently with some Battlegrounds
13473s people and for me
13474s um I picked two types of heroes
13476s basically right
13478s um mega economy Heroes that have the
13480s opportunity to scam so your gallywixes
13482s your Mill houses your shudder walks
13484s those kind of things right
13486s um I suppose this category is like
13487s things that can cheat win conditions so
13489s you can put like a Reno in there as well
13490s right because Reno can just cheat a wing
13492s condition by pressing a hero power if
13494s that's not true I want infinite amounts
13496s of Health right I want 20 yards you can
13499s do whatever right 160 health so then I
13501s can just live long enough to do
13502s something broken with the cards in the
13504s game instead of the hero power for
13506s example so that those are the two quote
13509s good types of heroes to me and it's all
13510s the stuff in the middle that I just find
13512s a little bit wishy-washy and stay away
13514s from generally yeah well we are going to
13516s be able to check in with Leah in a
13518s little bit no rush but he's playing voon
13520s as well which again we spoke about a
13522s little bit earlier how crazy some of
13523s those are you know plans can be when
13525s you've been able to duplicate cards in
13527s hands or see if that pays off or not but
13529s I think overall hero wise not like super
13533s strong uh Lobby in terms of hero choices
13536s but definitely some standouts yeah for
13539s sure
13540s oh hello
13545s uh apologies if we've been there and I
13547s missed it but if we did we see if Shadow
13549s what got a Battle Cry on turn one this
13550s game okay thank you very much there you
13553s go okay nice
13555s bad news for satellite but good to know
13558s either way
13563s doing great out there
13570s this is really this is the first time
13572s I've been involved in you know the the
13574s picks and and playing these mini games
13576s is really difficult it's hard isn't it
13579s yeah oh three on three Reno interesting
13584s I like it
13586s going for that big spike
13589s crucial decision for Lee first copy turn
13592s of the game needs to decide what he
13593s wants to go with here can just buy from
13595s this or he can go rolling to look for
13597s something and go sell double Buy and
13600s Hold one
13604s huh
13606s starting the turn with freeze was not
13608s where I was expecting things to go this
13609s time
13613s foreign
13618s is that you kind of remove the option of
13622s going this sucks I'm going three on
13625s three from the game like it's just
13626s really not a viable thing because you
13628s don't ever really get to make the copy
13630s okay so he's gonna skip all corpse
13631s refiner and then he's freezing the other
13633s two minions uh because they are good
13636s milkers for the corpse refiner yeah this
13638s is what I was initially looking at I
13640s I'll be honest I probably didn't go far
13642s enough flat down to keep the freeze but
13644s yeah getting the 3-1 with the extra coin
13646s next turn and then the corpse there
13648s seems decent because not the best minion
13650s in the world it's only a full build
13651s around but it might pay off later on
13653s right
13657s early damage kicking out there from
13658s hollyoak
13663s oh okay
13665s already got the triple locked up is this
13667s about the time for some spam level in
13669s subtle is this where all the X at right
13671s now uh could very well be yes uh triple
13675s locked up coming in a number of turns so
13678s you kind of need to make the decision
13679s now as to whether you want a five
13682s whether you want a six what you want to
13683s be looking at it's a very simple rule uh
13686s if you have a triple waiting in the shop
13687s the amount of gold that you have when
13690s you pressed the the hero power that
13692s throws it is essentially The Tavern
13694s minion that you will get if you then
13695s level every turn from that point so if
13697s you hear a powered it on six gold it'll
13699s end up as a six drop it's just really
13701s easy way to remember it tricks of the
13703s trade here this is a little extra bonus
13705s content from Saul giving away Secrets I
13707s like it
13708s now here though isn't this off
13710s interesting choice of death rattles so
13713s scarfin or Radio Star
13715s I mean this is don't think take Radio
13718s Star for me a hundred times over you
13721s have the fish so it's just Mega economy
13724s all day long which I love seeing
13726s but at the same time scalfin is the
13729s opposite right you could just absolutely
13731s milk scarf in for an inch of its life oh
13735s well okay oh the play around oh get
13738s robbed Sauron already on having tier
13742s four and doing what you said right
13744s taking
13745s um the extra health and saying instead
13747s of playing like a normal game what do I
13749s want to do with this health what is that
13751s shop
13752s bad so set it all on fire and give me
13755s something else please at least there's a
13757s Target or free role yeah okay okay so
13759s much actually saved yeah obviously into
13763s a matron yeah yeah our ring matron not
13765s in matron there we go
13767s just just oh matron
13769s just yeah I do oh matron
13772s um yeah when you're four on four I think
13774s matron is the number one card you want
13775s to see it's one of the biggest stat
13777s sticks available in the game if you get
13780s it super early yeah
13782s oh okay well nice little triple
13785s available for the Lee in the near future
13787s guessing that's gonna is it gonna greet
13789s this and level it I feel like you might
13791s just take it now just because I don't
13794s think I can retain self-respect while
13796s buying any of these other minions okay
13797s Lee disagrees I suppose actually you
13800s have infinite gold right probably
13802s already you probably just level by next
13805s turn yeah but you can't sell any of the
13807s any either of the Pirates to take triple
13810s so it's still a little bit awkward I
13812s honestly might have just taken a four in
13814s that spot
13819s hard to say
13820s yeah it's always difficult because we
13824s don't know what Lee's going for right
13827s because again of course early on in in
13830s this matter I would say as well is that
13832s you just and in general I guess for
13834s Battlegrounds you're just buying good
13835s stuff and then your hit defines a lot of
13838s your build
13845s so Sauron here definitely just trying to
13848s uh not a lot of this goes through but we
13850s can see this is not the comp he really
13852s wanted to run into
13854s uh okay
13856s Patchwork I'll be wanting these to go
13857s left they do not go left oh okay okay
13859s yeah decent fight not bad at all only
13861s three extra damage from the minions I
13863s think that's reasonable considering how
13865s aggressively he's level
13867s yeah so what four on four for the
13869s patchwork uh still lost the next fight
13871s and they have as much health as Shadow
13873s walk starts the game with pretty much so
13876s you can kind of see what the strategy is
13878s with the hero
13881s that's an incredibly early underhanded
13884s dealer and you get two of them yeah sure
13886s I like it
13888s actually yeah looking at it I suppose
13890s I'm not thinking voon when I was talking
13892s last time because this lines up so
13893s perfectly to just get the five drop
13895s triple into your hand into the Duke so
13897s yeah this makes perfect sense actually
13903s however this works out really nicely for
13905s oleek who I believe was working on a
13907s pretty greedy curve with maiev and now
13909s is gonna get a very nice fight again
13912s against a very weak opponent and if we
13914s can take a look at what oleek is doing
13915s with his uh his triple action does have
13919s that uh double imp or triple imp uh
13921s locked up I think just a lot of dudes uh
13923s there's a couple of the Rhythm Riders on
13925s there as well classic dudes yeah
13928s the stuff
13931s perfect okay
13934s so I think if oliak had literally seen
13937s what his opponent was working with on
13938s the other side he would have just held
13940s on to this because yeah he's already big
13942s enough to be winning the fight on the
13943s other side and just walking away with a
13946s light Fang from all of his early game
13947s hard work is uh not really ideal it has
13951s to be said It's Tricky isn't it because
13952s like light Fang is immediate well
13955s blanchy is just a better minion overall
13958s but obviously Ole X just nowhere around
13961s a scenario of Banshee being good and I
13964s don't yeah and think beasts are in here
13965s right right exactly black she's in for
13968s Undead there's no Feast so that does
13970s make it significantly weaker because you
13972s don't have the opportunity to do banana
13974s Shenanigans with it oh wait there's no
13976s Naga either sir there's Naga we just did
13980s they had uh glow scale in the triple
13981s just then oh glow scale yes sorry yeah
13983s yeah because that's another one that can
13985s work with Blanche right if you start
13987s shocking the Buffs yeah
13993s satellite oh
13998s nothing to uh
14000s too amazing coming from this shoulder
14002s walk though right in terms of the hero
14003s power yes
14006s yet
14008s joke's definitely gonna help though
14019s yeah it had to go a long time really
14021s without a a good choice
14025s for the shadow walk hero power
14027s been left wanting a little bit it
14029s definitely feels like the other end of
14030s the stick from what we saw from shoulder
14032s walk earlier today right where it was
14034s just the juice whereas this is just the
14036s scraps
14038s at some point as well I'd love to jump
14040s over to uh to Ayanna say we are going to
14042s check out Lee first just seeing there
14044s getting that doubling up from the boom
14045s from the previous turn wait what's
14047s happening
14048s I guess nothing's been sold yet right I
14050s was like why is actions happening
14052s without the dealer on board but no I
14054s guess no gold has been gained yet at
14056s this point so it kind of makes sense
14057s that's a Peggy
14060s I think we probably want one of those
14061s that's a peglin oh subtle are you proud
14068s oh yeah this is the stuff right here
14072s this is just it's just a triple printing
14074s machine right you just get four copies
14076s of the first minion that you attack it's
14078s very funny yeah this is great
14081s so what you want to do now is uh cue
14084s into nazoth and then you just snipe
14086s their fish with your radio right at the
14089s start yeah so it'll go straight to not
14091s how could I win how can I hold the most
14093s cards correct
14095s that's what this game's about whoever
14097s has the most cards in their hand at the
14098s end of the turn is winning
14102s ready to ride
14106s and they're getting buffed as well
14107s that's actually really strong isn't it
14109s you fill your hand and then both of them
14110s but it's actually annoying because I
14111s think the way those stats got
14113s distributed only one of the Buffs is
14116s going to Triple into the triple because
14117s they landed at the extreme edges
14120s oh
14121s one help
14124s one Health is all you need Raven without
14126s being a greedy boy you can't buy the
14129s demon dog though
14132s true
14134s well those all kind of sucked didn't
14136s they yeah I was even looking at mantid
14138s to just try and not die
14142s go and you know what I need to go all in
14144s here
14145s oh what is happening
14155s yeah I think you just play the boogie
14157s monster turn this turn right you just go
14159s one two three four five six as best you
14161s can or like one to five because six will
14163s be a little bit tricky
14165s yeah already had the two in the one in
14167s hand sorry with that extra risen Rider
14169s which was nice does have yeah Gambler
14171s for two who's getting that might involve
14174s having to bail out of the scar yeah yeah
14177s I respect it
14179s wait you just played the one first I
14182s guess you had to yeah sure
14187s and then you go three four five and you
14190s just play double Baron or double Titus I
14192s guess if we're being official
14195s Riven there
14199s better hire a recruit yeah you just rock
14202s this on board yeah sure okay triple
14205s printing machine activate across your
14207s fingers and pray oh I I really really
14211s hope you had to say survives just
14214s because I need to see this in action for
14217s a little bit longer because it is
14218s disgusting but glorious
14220s hey come on why wouldn't you want to
14223s play the game like this surely this is
14225s more fun
14228s right so now hit the Gnomes
14231s okay VT VT is Big this looks fine this
14235s looks fine
14237s um
14238s um wait Peg is with this
14241s double golden Peggy with a triple
14244s printing machine alive and you feel
14247s danger opponent okay not yet no you did
14250s you 15 jeroponin
14258s oh wait
14260s nice workout
14262s so stupid but so great what do you mean
14266s celebaron all right I revoke no I revoke
14269s your mega greed card no it's over it's
14271s gone
14272s so it's a line you can greet oh my
14276s you can greet too much
14278s it's got to be toughest right I mean one
14281s of those cards does say Tapas on it yeah
14283s one of those cards is just infinite
14285s money because you're gaining about eight
14287s gold per two oh I guess not anymore with
14289s the Barons no you're not you just killed
14291s your triple breeding machine
14295s it's fine look at the Double golden
14297s Peggy Soul levels
14300s okay you can have your mega greed card
14302s back it's fine you can keep it it's okay
14305s I apologize
14311s this is turn nine you're so big for turn
14314s nine isn't this just absolutely fine
14319s take this it's still going yeah you're
14322s still going oh everything's fine
14328s fell stomper really good yeah you can
14329s end on scally now with the first Stomper
14334s pump the pirate good like plus 18 health
14336s or so yeah really tricky roll wow cheeky
14340s cheeky boogie monster buff as well
14343s from the fail stompercut oh yeah six
14345s right yeah yeah I didn't even think
14347s about that I kind of forgot we were
14348s still at six yeah
14355s uh yeah not close that's looked quite
14358s good right
14360s definitely afford to Greed here so I was
14363s like look they could have been two River
14364s dust on the board there could have been
14372s oh no I respect you because like I if I
14375s kept the rivendez I probably wouldn't
14376s have leveled to six and honestly I feel
14379s like that is one of my big problems is
14380s when I do get like hyper economy builds
14382s I don't recognize that like okay well
14384s leveling to six cost ten but I do have
14386s 18 gold this turn so that's probably
14389s just fine
14390s um so I think leveling to six and then
14391s balancing the greed by getting out of
14393s the rivendez is fine right like you used
14395s your triple printing machine for a win
14397s condition and you found a win condition
14399s double golden Peggy is a win condition
14401s by any stretch of the imagination one
14404s thing I didn't think we were going to
14405s see today was the uh a skill on turn
14408s what 10 with a mini murmured and it's
14410s the only card in hand that was not on
14412s the uh on my bingo card at least
14416s I'm gonna go back to Lee now
14423s Belcher
14425s that's aboutchin
14432s I've also seen a lot more release than I
14433s thought I was going to say
14435s at least it's really good yeah at least
14436s it's really really I think I just
14438s underrated it honestly
14442s what we're not satellite right now
14445s so we are really playing Dodge the Reno
14447s right now it's one of those situations
14449s where uh Health total does really not
14451s indicate the relative strength of the
14452s people in the lobby
14457s uh uh slightly convoluted request but
14460s could you show us who re are perfect
14462s Lorinda Synergy is there as always
14464s before I'd even finish speaking
14467s Ollie has not dodged the Reno the one
14471s positive the One Shining sliver of light
14474s in the darkness is that no one can die
14477s right sorry sorry no one oh yeah
14481s yeah not no one I was trying to look at
14484s everyone's board
14485s um so that is something so if he's gonna
14488s have it let's just pretend there's a
14489s world where this is his bad fight right
14491s now's the time
14497s I mean he does have a Venom scan in this
14500s uh okay if it happens in that order less
14503s good because uh he wanted the baron to
14506s go first right and then get double value
14509s but still just would not happen close
14512s let's be honest so many stats
14520s oh five plus four that's gone nine
14524s Ty bill taking a smacking
14528s a rough one there didn't first out
14530s especially with everyone else just
14531s hanging on for just that whole extra
14532s turn and again so uh I think we already
14535s went past this we've already done this
14537s one but turn 11 and only one person dead
14539s yeah yeah for sure
14542s I think that is one of the number one
14544s things like if you were to you know if
14546s you were a good player and you start on
14547s a new account and climb from zero MMR
14549s one thing you notice very steeply as you
14553s start to climb up the MMR rankings is
14555s how much better good players are at just
14557s surviving just finding a way to live one
14561s more turn
14562s so I think in the lower uh scale lower
14564s end of the MMR people just are just
14566s doing their thing right it's like it's
14569s not how do I survive what could my
14571s opponent have they're just doing their
14573s thing well it looks like it's time for a
14574s barov's blessing Sauron versus mega Alex
14577s JP uh both hands I'll tell you now
14581s Lauren's done this on purpose
14586s Battle Master with a 59 592 on the board
14595s um Second Battle Master with 223 okay
14601s fell back for some extra attack juice
14604s but then we've got one Leroy one poison
14607s two poisons three poisons four poisons
14610s five poisons a Leroy and two fish that
14613s will each get a LeRoy inside it have I
14615s have I uh sold you just typing it out
14619s now mate okay
14623s yeah it's also just like I was looking
14625s at what the Blaster does right well it
14628s just doesn't not enough yeah look at the
14631s size of this battle bastard I respect it
14634s it's a casual 1000 help
14637s Soren doesn't yet look miserable so I'm
14640s wondering if I am missing something here
14643s but I don't think I possibly can be no
14646s no oh my God it's over yeah
14653s look into bad at all as a mega Alex
14658s dispatches are sorry out of the game and
14661s that's gonna be oh Lee's gun as well
14663s he's gone as well oh and thesaurus
14666s Gianna say he's still hanging around on
14667s one HP one HP is all you need
14671s oh so that was three players out in
14674s fifth six seven four
14677s is Alia Quinn as well
14681s this game three might get very close
14684s subtle I think it might all come down to
14686s this game three
14688s did you like bandwagon this game olliek
14690s okay yeah
14692s not bad
14693s uh we tied right you got to Sir yeah we
14696s tied on biomack in this game
14697s in my eyes the Sorrows one tear above
14700s [Laughter]
14702s they leave that's extra points
14703s fine
14705s I don't yeah if I'd have waited I don't
14707s know when nah Reno hero power probably
14709s didn't happen before turn four right but
14711s if I saw a Reno hero power just a pure
14714s force of will I would have been I was
14716s tempted to Reno because I picked Reno in
14717s the previous one just for High Roll
14718s potential but I thought you know what
14720s scabs is a bit of a you know
14722s a bit of a strong pick I thought and
14724s I've seen notes so I did okay but I
14726s don't think anything crazy came out
14727s scabs unfortunately
14729s I definitely did pick purely based on
14731s hero
14732s yeah big natural buff to n'zoth by the
14734s way that we haven't really talked about
14735s uh upbeat Duo is just in every single
14737s Lobby of Battlegrounds so if you find
14739s that you can just get yourself a second
14741s fish absolutely no problem
14744s um and you can see just from that
14745s straight up one Leroy and now Mega Alex
14749s just has the ability to trade one for
14750s one with any three minions as an
14752s absolute bare minimum so n'zoth really
14755s really good in a beast Lobby of course
14757s that's the one that I think everyone
14758s will be super aware of but uh actually
14760s uh n'zoth murlocs because of your Venom
14763s scan potential is actually very very
14765s strong as well
14767s yeah turns out uh the duo decide had
14769s never heard the uh give a man of fish
14771s versus teacher Mana fish it does in fact
14773s just give you a fish yeah
14776s if you give you if you give a man an
14778s infinite fish printing machine then
14780s that's just the best of all worlds
14784s word how Machine Heavy we're going in
14787s Hearthstone right now seems to be a lot
14788s of printing machines going on
14791s and Yanna say just got deleted
14795s they're all three leroys wow oh no the
14797s first the first one it's okay yeah yeah
14801s yeah there wasn't there was not a LeRoy
14803s in the first fish because of the attack
14805s order didn't attack the Leroy early
14806s enough in the fight so it actually gets
14808s away with it yeah and to be fair to live
14811s one more fight to be fair to me or Alex
14813s like unlikely right there was just two
14816s taunts
14818s now I think that was yes sorry that was
14821s Mega Alex getting the yeah getting the
14823s ghost
14828s so good because now we've just seen like
14831s venomous scam
14833s yet another comp that we've not really
14835s seen too much of yes and I would like
14837s our deer Observer Lorinda to take note
14839s of this because we've had some practice
14840s sessions between the three of us I say
14842s practice sessions it's mostly been
14843s subtle shouts at the other two about how
14845s to play Battleground sessions let's be
14847s honest
14848s um but Lorinda has said on several
14850s occasions that he felt he feels like
14851s with the the poison to venomous change
14853s that there isn't really a way to fight
14855s back against big stats anymore but kind
14858s of seeing two players fight back against
14860s big stats with Venom scams right so I
14862s just feel like that needs to be pointed
14864s out to our dear Observer who can't fight
14866s back and can't talk and is much more
14869s likable when that's the case
14871s but it's a good person I am I will leap
14874s to the defense one is n'zoth which
14877s definitely helps yeah that does help
14880s with two fish
14884s yeah it's just cool seeing all the
14885s different effects and there how the
14887s players are approaching these matchups
14889s because it does feel like nothing's
14890s standard at least for now yeah
14894s well we shall see I mean Janice might
14896s still find a way out of this with the
14897s win but I think he's gonna have to bring
14899s a little bit of tech into proceedings
14900s doesn't have the cleave pirate right now
14902s as far as I remember which I think is a
14904s big big deal but yeah you can see some
14907s of the tech now starting to come out
14908s right base skills and tunnel blasters
14910s starting to come out to play to start to
14912s absorb some of these uh little scammy
14914s builds that are coming out on the other
14915s side
14916s yeah there's one venomous for a venomous
14918s trade
14922s Shields already I'm taking one out oh
14925s man
14933s that's just what do you know for arena
14935s right good enough Arena yep Reno once
14937s again living
14938s much tougher fight that Jana sayon Reno
14942s has to go back to I think I think Mega
14944s Alex is a much bigger problem for him to
14946s solve
14947s can you get ghosts
14949s oh is it his ghost fight is his ghost
14951s fight right right it's these two against
14953s each other now yeah yeah you're
14954s absolutely right
14958s which is rough for Mega Alex because I
14961s think he's a little weaker against this
14963s from satellite than he actually is
14965s against the strongest person in the
14966s lobby right now
14968s for the Divine Shields though
14971s true yeah no that is which helps a
14973s little you know which can help it
14974s doesn't necessarily will help but it can
14976s help
14980s but yeah base skills are going to end up
14982s being crucial in these late game battles
14984s because of the way venomous Works uh a
14986s skill being able to pop venomous from
14988s your opponent and then pull something
14990s out from your hand which then you know
14992s potentially has free reign against
14993s something that doesn't have venomous on
14995s the other side
14996s can be a huge huge deal
14999s stealth on one fish Divine shield on the
15001s other I love it love to see that
15008s also you'll see here using a little bit
15011s of the Critter Wrangler if you want to
15012s just go back for a second Lorinda the
15014s Critter Wrangler there is on the board I
15016s think just trying to pump the stats on
15019s the minions a little bit so that he can
15021s play around like Baron blaster for
15023s example just being able to Nuke
15025s relatively small minions just trying to
15027s get a little bit of permanent stats on
15028s his minions to play around some of those
15030s tech cards it's already doing a good job
15032s of the zap right the anti-zap anyway for
15035s sure
15037s be a spicy one though I'm not 100 sure
15039s who I like in this yeah it's gonna be
15041s real real close
15044s reborn on one of the mantids but not on
15047s the other side though that could end up
15049s being a real deal breaker device
15052s Leroy as well
15055s I think it's already too much right
15058s very good he's uh these two fish are
15061s pretty beefed up right now yep there's
15063s at least three more leroys to go off so
15065s there's no possible way for the shadow
15066s walk to win it's just a matter of trying
15068s to tie and that cannot happen either is
15070s the nazoth on six yes they are so that
15073s is going to be 12 damage and we are
15075s going to have the ultimate scam versus
15077s stats Showdown there's a tale as old as
15079s time as far as Battlegrounds goes and
15081s also as well yes Janice popped off with
15084s the double Peggy play earlier and I know
15086s that's this is a game that will live
15089s forever in subtle's memory just for how
15091s crazy that was earlier on uh with the
15093s peggies but yeah this is I would say
15095s still done a good job to hang on because
15098s any slip up and he could have been out
15100s turns and turns ago right
15103s yup I mean I would still have a golden
15105s Radio Star on my balls right now this
15108s Soul splitter would be in play as well
15110s giving the Radio Star uh reborn I'd have
15114s golden Baron I'll be having such a good
15116s time and also be dead
15117s and also have got no points yeah
15127s yeah arguably as well even doing a turn
15131s later would have been a problem for you
15133s NSA right yeah obviously based on their
15135s health because they could have easily
15136s been knocked out yeah I I like honestly
15139s I think they would have survived being
15141s greedier for a couple of more turns for
15143s sure but at the same time so the best
15145s way to present this argument right
15147s yanase does not appear to have needed to
15150s have been greedy right so why take the
15152s risk of Being Greedy he's here he's in
15154s top two he has all the stuff that he
15155s could possibly need so why bother being
15158s greedier and take the risk of dying at
15159s that point
15160s I think in this results oriented world
15162s of this game he would have survived
15164s being a little bit greedier but why
15166s bother look at this board let's see if
15170s you can stay on top
15174s well here we go leave
15176s Mega Alex needs this cleave to stay left
15179s it does not that is a fish down
15185s oh they did hit the big one again oh
15187s there's just too much too much yeah yeah
15190s it's too many actual just minions
15193s doing the best
15196s has come out oh no
15198s no
15201s I thought the magic was still coming for
15204s eign damage is going to get there gonna
15208s say I think a little bit fortunate to
15211s take that one at the end there was the
15213s fight uh two two fights previous right
15215s or three fights previous the last time
15217s that fight happened where attack order
15220s went in such a specific way that the
15222s Leroy didn't die until the fish in like
15225s fourth position then attacked and then
15227s that fish did not have a LeRoy in it uh
15229s if that had gone any other way Janice
15231s would have been straight up dead at that
15233s point uh before he had any chance to
15234s react to the situation what I will say
15237s though yanase did an incredibly good job
15239s from that point onwards as to going okay
15241s I need more than stats now I need to
15244s start playing my own like base skills
15246s tunnel Blaster kind of tech stuff to go
15248s alongside this to make sure that I can
15250s out poison scam the scammers on the
15251s other side so really really well played
15253s game from the other side he's a player
15255s that I featured very heavily in a Lobby
15257s Legends graded video last year so he's a
15259s player that I got to watch very up close
15261s and really studied a lot of stuff you
15262s were doing really really good player
15265s that makes some wild decisions but when
15268s you really dig into it you can start to
15270s understand what's going on at a very
15271s high level really really strongly and
15273s it's certainly paid off that game with
15275s him taking the victory in the seven
15276s points we'll give you an update on what
15278s the uh what the lobby looks like in
15280s terms of points shortly but while we get
15282s the players ready for the next game
15283s we'll be right back after the break
15301s thank you

15484s welcome back everyone we are getting
15486s ready for our last game of the day and
15489s also very importantly the last game of
15490s this group to see who is going to make
15492s it to tomorrow's final top eight now
15495s take a look at the standings and see
15497s where everyone sits after game two but
15499s uh if I did the quick and mental
15501s gymnastics to add up this is going to be
15503s very very close subtle because look at
15505s that sort of middle pack of uh of olliex
15507s Sauron Janice and tesora
15510s yeah really close on the bubble right
15513s like Mega Alex and satellite looking
15515s good but no one really locked in
15518s unfortunately I think Bill is probably
15520s locked out from this position which is
15522s bad for Bill bad for me because he is in
15524s my fantasy picks as well but I did have
15527s tasura and satellite who are both kind
15529s of crushing it right now so over here
15530s don't worry I had only I can leave okay
15532s still think I'm doing okay and
15534s proceedings here but yeah much more
15535s importantly that whole middle pack of
15538s tasura down to Lee still has everything
15540s to play for in this final Lobby let's
15542s say yeah it's gonna be a lot on the line
15544s here to the extent where again obviously
15546s if you just take your eyes away from
15548s Mega Alex and satellite uh pretty much
15550s the placements uh or at least very close
15553s to the placements that we get in this
15555s Lobby uh are going to be very very close
15557s to what it looks like and again just
15558s remind if you join us late the top four
15560s after this third game in this group are
15564s gonna join the top four we've already
15565s had from the first lobby of the day over
15568s eight different players to make it
15569s through to tomorrow tomorrow to play in
15572s that final Lobby which is going to be
15574s super spicy because we add basically an
15576s extra rule set on which we'll go over a
15578s bit more in detail tomorrow yeah and as
15580s you were talking I stared at that in
15582s silence for quite a long time and I
15583s think technically possible one in a
15586s million that bill can still make it if
15588s he gets specifically first and then the
15590s perfect exact order of everyone else
15592s finishing where he needs to he would
15593s then have better tie Breakers by Merit
15596s of finishing first in this Lobby that he
15598s has to and would actually make it I
15600s think not an admin don't take anything I
15602s say seriously
15603s um but yeah one in a million shot or
15605s Bill I think is still available but
15607s realistically Bill does seem kind of
15609s cooked at this point yeah always a tough
15611s one but again is just the way the format
15613s works right these players have three
15615s games to do their best and bank as many
15616s points as possible and we see players
15618s you know manage to do that in different
15620s ways I think this Lobby is as you kind
15622s of mentioned uh feels different because
15624s a good chunk of the players have just
15626s been doing okay whereas in the previous
15629s Lobby the previous eight we had um
15631s earlier today we saw a much sort of
15633s spikier finishes right so it was all
15635s like Missouri struggle a little bit and
15637s be more at the bottom and we saw some of
15638s the players really Excel I'd be about it
15640s uh earlier on but for now it's the final
15643s game of not only this lobby but of
15645s today's stream with course back tomorrow
15647s the final top eight for now so I'll take
15650s us through some of these hero choices so
15653s dragon's Mac murloc's Naga quill board
15655s no like real Mega powerhouses I would
15659s say overall so actually
15661s weirdly
15663s big chance for an Etc puzzle box Victory
15666s because he's just trying to beat me
15669s Etc is a hero that can invent a win
15673s condition with cards that don't exist
15675s right in terms of the the Buddy stuff
15677s that's available so in a Lobby where
15679s there's no straight up Powerhouse to
15681s shoot for ETC is a very very good shout
15683s overall
15684s um but you know for example a shadow
15687s walk really wants these to be available
15689s so they can start doing broken rilak
15691s things they do sometimes play nicely
15693s with Dragons if they can get to that
15695s point but a lot of other Heroes kind of
15697s want a specific minion type to be in
15699s whereas Etc can just kind of go hard and
15702s just pick broken cards from the hero
15703s power and try and piece something
15704s together so might be a decent uh Etc
15707s shout here especially on yanase who
15710s knows how to make a win condition now
15712s but I'm just saying
15714s you know what I'm in let's do this
15717s Oh see now it's wrong for me to join you
15720s on this
15725s whom do I have faith in
15728s [Music]
15732s season bits of damage getting just poked
15734s through as we often do in the other
15736s parts of the game
15738s Etc of course going for the level nearly
15740s everyone so far actually going for the
15742s level that we've seen
15744s Bill I'm assuming still no uh premium
15748s Battle Cry offered on turn two uh we I
15752s suppose yeah with how it stands really
15755s only the Naga I guess because he took
15756s the 1-4 on term one he would buy
15759s rockpool potentially on uh on turn two
15763s and then just hero power it get the
15764s double bar no he didn't he bought a Naga
15766s okay my bad I thought he bought the one
15767s for instead I mistake
15770s so yeah no real Choice here I would
15771s imagine except leveling for two starting
15773s to look for some good stuff
15774s [Music]
15781s even the hero choice is just not really
15785s super impactful outside of maybe DTC I
15787s do like rafam maybe more than I should
15789s but I've I've loved her a farm since the
15791s first time I played for fun it's just a
15794s character that gels with me really well
15795s for some reason yeah and it's just like
15797s it's an oh this is what okay so it was
15799s Jana say that bought the one for got it
15801s right
15802s um I was gonna say
15803s it's an awkward Lobby like as I keep
15805s talking about the minion types that
15808s really rules out so many Heroes that you
15810s kind of be used to seeing win lobbies
15812s right like there was a brand turned down
15814s like bran can absolutely run away with a
15816s Lobby if they have the right minion
15817s types to play with but this kind of
15818s isn't that because again rylack is not
15820s available like it's just such a weird
15822s mishmash of just kind of the the
15824s mid-tier minion types that no one's
15826s really clear on what to go for oh I'm so
15829s close to changing my pick now
15834s wty bill I think just picked up two
15836s Smugglers as sugar what
15840s maybe they have the mugglers yeah and it
15843s is it's only a pair but you know a
15845s couple of dragons away from a good time
15847s okay I like it I like it
15857s I think you can win this thing
15861s we can still pick during turn four right
15864s you can re-pick until the end of turn
15866s four yes okay okay
15869s that's a lot of damage thrown out there
15871s is Lee of course taking the greedy
15872s approach with gailway
15876s oh very mediocre turn three shop
15882s Lee not looking too Rosie what would we
15885s have preferred here like what are your
15886s highlight you know uh Tavern tier 3s in
15889s this line uh in this Lobby what are you
15891s looking at like deflectos are good uh
15893s pashma's good just because it's a Yeti
15896s right you just buy a four or five and
15897s you're just strong because you have a
15898s four or five it's pretty powerful
15900s um there's a couple of things but again
15902s in a slightly strange Lobby overall yeah
15907s there is already a Mac in the shop
15909s though there is the two drop neck
15911s which is maybe something to consider
15913s since uh lee will want some kind of stat
15915s presence right because can't just keep
15917s getting hit
15920s no absolutely
15921s Gail Wing does not start with enough
15923s Health to keep losing fights like this
15931s it's all can you translate the Buddies
15933s uh yes so that is uh with the Illidan
15937s body so first meaning that attacks is
15939s immune for one attack and then Edwin
15941s buddy which is every time you buy a
15943s minion again plus one plus one so it's a
15945s seller Minion Okay Plus One
15948s he might be buying now I knew it was buy
15950s or sell but now I'm questioning myself
15951s so whatever you get plus one plus one
15953s when you do a thing there you go last
15956s call for the day for any switchings on
15958s that uh bandwagon I'm sticking when
15961s these fights are over you are locked in
15963s for the game and locked in for the day
15965s yep
15967s yeah I've stuck to my guns I've decided
15969s not to switch it up because I I I'm
15971s picking up what sauron's putting down
15973s here with the farm going with my gut
15975s here
15976s as we can see sorry now you know couple
15978s of pairs good to go pretty decent board
15981s for bullying other players in the early
15983s game which reform is often good at right
15985s yeah just getting those bigs in early
15987s and now you know a couple of nice now I
15989s got to pick up as well if if someone so
15992s chooses yeah the regular curve here says
15994s level hero power
15995s um but lava lurker is
15999s definitely worth considering
16001s think probably overpicked ever so
16003s slightly does go into the patient Scout
16005s though there are still ways to play this
16008s turn and still make it a level hero
16010s power turn but with no economy coming
16012s off the patient Scout that does seem a
16013s little bit less likely that's another
16016s pair because it is
16021s pair of a taunt minion as well which is
16023s always worth considering with reform
16024s because obviously the thing that you
16026s kill first in combat is more likely to
16028s be a taunt minion than anything else
16032s just making it happen yep yep sure I
16036s think he's far enough ahead right on
16037s board in terms of board power to do that
16039s anyway so yeah that's fine well you say
16042s that
16043s have you seen this let's see I mean yeah
16046s okay it's a pretty big
16049s where does divine shield attack goes is
16051s gonna be huge okay didn't hit the one
16054s three big deal
16057s we have enough to tidy up here looks
16059s like yeah looks like the curtress is
16061s fine that's the bad attack and I think
16062s it's still okay
16065s oh okay feeling confident about my
16069s reform
16070s very very bad attacks in a row there at
16073s the end
16074s oh was that it
16076s Gail Wing wait who's going oh is that
16078s Lee with a pair of the uh the Bots yes
16080s pair of the scaling Bots clearly picked
16082s up a second one on the other turn what's
16084s it called lolbot
16087s sounds right
16088s listen
16090s uh can we get an Etc update please
16093s I thought you guys said can we get an
16095s Omega bot
16099s it's a funny looking Etc there we go oh
16102s a little bit ugly
16104s so level two Tempo based once again
16106s right yeah so I think the first two
16108s picks are fine like if you're on Tavern
16110s two it's everything you get is a little
16113s bit wishy-washy
16114s um but last turn I imagine would have
16117s been level to three and hero power and
16118s he's ended up with a non-tavern three
16121s buddy on that turn
16123s which is a little bit awkward I would
16126s say overall
16128s okay Maxwell very good
16131s Maxwell of course adds your buddy to
16134s your hand which is make a buddy golden
16135s so you can just pick one of these
16137s minions now to make golden for free and
16139s also plus one gold very nice
16142s because it is this word always worth
16144s doing now because I feel like this is
16146s something you could hold on to for a
16147s while if you're a Janice it is
16150s um but
16152s Etc like there's no finite number of win
16155s conditions with Etc right it's not like
16157s if you use your maker body golden you're
16159s like well that was my one chance never
16161s again yeah this game you know like you
16163s will continue to have those
16164s opportunities on several turns from now
16166s as you press your hero power
16169s and again this being the uh the final
16172s game Yana say is not safe so again
16175s probably going for the whole let's just
16177s bag a few points and and feel safe right
16179s because the United States couldn't run
16180s uh fourth on eight points
16183s and as soon as the reform sees this
16186s board he's gonna be screaming go right
16188s go right it does not go right okay he
16191s wants the Maxwell there so he can get
16193s reformed body into his hand on the next
16196s turn he could just play reform uh from
16198s the body meta which would have been
16199s incredible for him
16207s we're now with uh with the Illidan
16210s golden buddy basically cleared up the
16213s majority of the stats on the reforms
16215s board straight away oh
16216s okay we've got a little bit of extra
16218s damage there not hitting the sixth one
16219s yeah big damage
16221s no armor now
16229s I would be angry for about 36 hours that
16232s I didn't get that Maxwell I think this
16234s ShakeOut
16236s let's go straight into the triple though
16237s [Music]
16240s huh
16243s dracari I mean you do have
16245s the mech that you just tripled
16247s that is technically an end of turn off
16250s yep
16252s yeah I mean
16255s oh okay it was between those two right
16257s yeah it was it was a tough one I guess
16260s as well there's something yeah right
16262s there's something going on very mediocre
16265s picks that have a future if you find the
16267s right things right but this one is a lot
16269s better Tempo now so probably it does end
16272s up being the better decision
16275s take a look at Megan Alex
16278s nothing too much going on does have Duo
16280s though things can always happen with Duo
16282s yeah two turns from now will probably
16284s make that a Smuggler triple unless
16287s anything changes rapidly in the near
16289s future but it's just spent the game up
16291s until now buffing a mistake it looks
16293s like and just getting all of those
16295s massive health benefits and I know it's
16297s early to say um but it was there even a
16299s chance for like a 10 gold level
16302s that next turn so then the duo then
16304s triples into six and just you know you
16306s go straight from there all right thank
16308s you Alex is currently tied leader with
16312s satellite 11 points each yeah still 38
16315s to play with really depends come with
16317s the next fight or two right but as long
16319s as you stay above 31 that's when you
16321s have 31 or more that's when you feel
16323s really really secure about doing greedy
16325s plays because at that point you can get
16326s hit for 15 not once but twice and still
16328s right be alive from that point
16331s see some pigs on the board I'm happy
16336s what a mixed bag both players have like
16339s yeah I've got some stuff
16340s you got stuff yeah cool yeah this feels
16343s like the sketchiest lobby we've watched
16346s today right everyone really just kind of
16348s scrambling for something to do and not
16351s really hitting super hard and you know I
16353s did call that out at the start of the
16354s game it's just that awkward mix of
16356s Minion types where nothing really just
16357s screams at you and to an extent like
16360s none of the you're not gonna write home
16362s about any of these heroes are you
16363s outside of Etc
16366s you see starting to take over
16370s yo so I'm gonna be honest you've got to
16374s Maxwell
16377s you've got to tell me what the one on
16378s the right does I'm being completely
16380s honest I don't know
16381s uh every time it Buffs the shop every
16384s time you buy a minion Refrigeration for
16386s the duration of the turn
16389s yeah etc's existence is there made by
16392s prep for this tournament about 8 000
16394s times harder that is curtress's Buddy
16402s buddy
16408s [Music]
16409s I'm gonna lie Boogie monsters are kind
16412s of puppet honestly never really looked
16414s at it in great detail oh the artwork
16416s yeah
16418s big fan actually the funny thing is you
16420s know what song it's singing
16423s same one as dancing Daryl singing
16432s duo in the shop always going to take a
16434s little look see ya
16440s 22 helps to play with triple printer
16443s online as well to an extent with uh
16446s General drakasath right you can see
16448s we've already got one of those going
16449s with the smolder wings I believe they're
16452s called if that's right I'm so proud of
16454s myself I don't know how I know that if I
16456s know that
16459s I suppose I have looked at hands full of
16462s 10 of them very rarely while playing
16464s this game
16466s you've probably seen more of them in one
16468s game than I've seen in my lifetime
16471s Brad don't tell the others
16476s unfortunately just because of like the
16478s Cadence that actually doesn't speed up
16480s his triple printing machine at all at
16482s this point it's still two turns away of
16483s getting there I suppose it would be
16485s three turns away without it I guess
16487s small victories
16490s enough to hold on here easily for wty oh
16494s here you go actually when you asked
16495s earlier if there was any like major comp
16496s we hadn't seen uh Cruz zesty crooner
16500s yeah we haven't really seen it going
16502s not a particularly powerful build
16504s overall but it is certainly something if
16505s you do hit it can win a Lobby if you're
16508s able to to hit early enough and execute
16510s it and like we've said because the
16511s format of this tournament if you do hit
16513s kind of like oleek is kind of hitting
16516s with all of these here yeah for sure it
16518s is it could get you top four
16521s top three top two right even if it
16523s doesn't dry your strictly wings I do
16525s feel there's a
16526s you often are very weak to some venomous
16530s or Leroy Shenanigans because you're
16531s often not making tons of big minions
16534s um but it could be enough again just to
16537s give you a bit of an update oleic is
16539s currently set to Joint sixth Fifth and
16542s but six points and then the people above
16544s him at eight nine and a half and eleven
16546s so very catchable if all that can secure
16549s it like a top four top three maybe yeah
16551s for sure
16554s um
16556s against another another one of those
16558s things where like even when doing this
16559s you'd love to be in a lobby with uh
16562s beasts or Undead in it right because
16563s then Blanche is available and you one of
16566s these trip these triples can go fishing
16567s for Blanche and then you're dumping deep
16569s blues onto a Blanche as well as a lava
16571s lurker and you you're getting more
16572s Equity out of your stats oh here we go
16574s song
16575s yo golden Drucker sir okay all right
16580s witty bill print me some triples this is
16583s what we want to see even if wty Bill
16586s does not make it through
16589s he's going out with a bang
16590s he's going out with a bang but he missed
16592s the calicos you can absolutely guarantee
16595s he is shooting for the skies on this
16598s calicos and he's not seeing it
16600s it does get the Makai let's get the
16603s Mercury up
16605s and honestly there's so many stats being
16607s on this turn he might just be big enough
16611s for Reaper with these
16614s he's going to be big enough to take on
16616s this Etc I think and as long as he wins
16618s this fight against DTC he is Mega
16621s printing triples again next turn
16624s yeah this faux Reaper is gonna slap yes
16627s it is
16629s I mean we haven't seen Etc in a while so
16631s all manner of broken things could have
16633s happened here I would imagine bill
16636s is bigger
16638s bill is bigger yes
16642s oh the immune attack though is a big
16644s deal isn't it it is
16647s wait is Bill bigger well that's what I'm
16650s saying the immune attack is a really big
16652s deal here way okay that's actually it's
16655s a very mid-cleve because it only took
16658s small minions even though it did take
16659s all three
16661s bill is smaller they tied
16667s all right has to be calagos so many
16670s shots at it this turn magma lock now as
16674s well but again no Elementals are in so
16677s you can't give this magma lock Divine
16679s shield with element of surprise it's
16681s such an annoying Lobby I can't emphasize
16683s that enough
16694s yeah fair enough
16696s the Dina is a thing something yeah it
16699s exists a thing
16703s oh my
16705s hero power still available
16708s again
16710s keep printing
16712s it's fine you know you just keep
16713s printing more money you never crash the
16715s economy it's fine don't worry about it
16725s hey
16730s color Goose online
16737s that 22 feels okay right that's what I
16741s was gonna say is okay chilling in this
16744s position I was gonna say he probably is
16745s getting out the duo even though you
16747s could argue that duo obviously helps but
16750s I think the time it takes is you just
16752s you just get out right I think so yeah
16754s you've got two calagos you already have
16757s you know 100 attack minions and you have
16759s an Adena so you're you're huge for
16761s plenty of time at this point
16769s right now
16771s all right so I'll just lie to us there
16774s is factually incorrect
16780s okay nothing this is kind of the
16782s expected outcome obviously all the Care
16784s that there are games where you stack way
16786s earlier than this if you go straight
16788s into the the buff of course but um but
16791s it's probably big enough especially with
16793s the Leroy support here to at least
16795s survive
16798s and again that's a uh golden base girl
16805s no clue what's in the tank for air for
16808s sorry
16813s okay
16817s wait
16821s stop bouncing over your stuff I can't
16823s see the numbers oh okay Lee got murdered
16825s Lee is victim number one of the Calico
16827s scaling
16830s okay Alex survives
16832s yeah polyak makes it
16834s put Sauron in a bit of a danger zone now
16836s on 12. you wanna say still big big
16838s chilling on 30 with the Etc
16841s what it's a golden duo with calagos and
16844s bran
16846s all procking this turn as well but one
16849s HP yeah
16852s a much bigger Kelly let's play on this
16855s turn
16857s Mega Alex is Mega dead this turn I don't
16860s I don't think there is any way out of
16862s this
16863s Alex obviously well probably does not
16866s know this
16867s um but
16868s I think he'll be very much hoping for if
16870s he dies he wants there's many other
16872s people to join him as possible I mean
16874s you know Raven you Mouse over Shadow
16876s walk they're on six reading dragons with
16878s like 12 triples next to their name I
16881s guess so I guess I know how dead you are
16889s I don't think there's anything you can
16891s do though right this Duo still just has
16893s to go next to calicos Brown and you pray
16895s okay
16899s I mean I respect it actually yeah fair
16902s enough
16904s like at this point you're just praying
16906s they haven't taken a nadina right like
16910s of their 16 triples every time they saw
16912s in a dinner it was offered alongside a
16914s Calico so they just took the calicos
16915s instead and then yeah your poison scam
16917s can get there kind of thing fair enough
16919s oh Olek gets the ghost that isn't that's
16922s nice because time is your friend with
16924s Naga right every single turn you get to
16926s stack more is significant absolutely
16929s yeah
16930s uh in this last 28 seconds can we get an
16932s Etc update please and then yeah
16934s absolutely do want to watch this fight
16935s see Mega Alex get murdered
16938s ah
16940s not a lot going on different from when
16942s we last dropped in okay slightly bigger
16945s but also again it's hard it's important
16947s to remember the double immune attack is
16949s actually oh I see yeah and with the
16951s golden kertras buddy every magnetic they
16954s buy to dump onto the deflectober is just
16956s getting bigger and bigger and bigger
16957s because of the shot Buffs okay decent
16959s plan good battle friend
16962s thank you
16964s surprise hello
16968s wait the Nadine is not on the board by
16970s the way
16973s yeah with reborn yeah and that color
16977s goes just got absolutely
16980s yeah and the venomous has ended up doing
16982s very little in the end
16984s I mean kind of close in the end kind of
16987s close but yeah this is huge this will be
16989s impactful though because at the moment
16990s Mega Alex JP is currently joined top
16993s with 11 points he's gonna go out now so
16996s this is a one point game is anyone else
16999s going to join it
17001s okay Yanna say is actually fallen behind
17004s on tempo for the first time now this
17006s game takes a little damage uh from real
17009s kurtress as he's over there playing fake
17011s buddy meta kertras
17019s a really good value trade actually in
17020s the end very nice being able to clean up
17022s the one one first oh oh like zero attack
17026s came out of his thing that's unlucky
17030s turn to live for sorry
17038s wait who did you pick
17041s for bandwagon yeah
17044s [Music]
17050s well I was just talking about how there
17052s was no real win condition in this Lobby
17054s apart from Etc yes yeah fine I mean just
17057s girls do it yeah
17066s we're going for some kind of a
17068s obviously buff in the uh the bream also
17071s maybe going digging for some of those
17073s poisons as well yeah
17080s I was gonna say it's probably worth
17083s taunting the uh the scrap now right it's
17085s just a lot of stats to give Divine
17086s Shield too just a big minion yeah
17089s exactly it's kind of barrels blessing
17091s time
17093s final Barrel's blessing of the day and
17096s an incredibly difficult one there is a
17099s ton of concealed information in this
17101s fight
17102s uh Coral burglar will be X
17106s X in stats at the start of the fight uh
17109s bass Gill will summon some x-axis
17112s um yep we're doing good I'm gonna
17114s believe in my pick for a bandwagon
17118s I've already locked it in yeah the coral
17120s just kind of looks bigger to me not sure
17123s there's a LeRoy in the tank as well yeah
17125s Leroy in the tank sure
17130s see how it goes
17136s oh there's now a uh venomous in the tank
17139s yeah that's huge actually because he
17141s does actually he does have the summons
17143s for it right he will get three yeah
17145s that's just such a big deal
17149s thank you
17150s a lot of extra stats but
17153s I think gonna be enough
17156s still the 12th one to get an attack off
17157s as well
17160s I'm gonna head button trade nice
17163s oh
17165s it's enough
17167s planned he's still left in the tank for
17168s Zara
17170s hey but about damage pushed as well
17172s with coral living 16. take some of that
17175s purchase
17178s Pro Etc with the secret I imagine that's
17181s a nice block it has to be a nice flow
17183s it's not activated it's not gone off yet
17184s right yeah yeah
17188s oh you love to see the ice block if
17190s you're a Yannis a bandwagoner
17195s I'm an Etc banjo
17198s calm down friends
17201s whatever that was had reborn and like
17204s seven menaces and the Brew Khan hero
17206s power on it like what how why does it
17209s have Reborns brought the whole crew it's
17211s never coming back
17214s oh oh yeah it's gonna be knocked out
17217s next
17218s unfortunately for me again
17222s uh why is that fantasy team yeah okay
17227s okay yeah I'll link on Six Points as
17228s well so I think
17229s I think we've got eight
17232s I think that Karen tease oh look does it
17236s make that hot right because Janice is
17238s eight as well but Jana says already
17240s ahead okay
17244s and Soren still in who was also on six
17246s with Olio
17247s so yeah I think so but we'll see we'll
17249s get through all the results later on of
17250s course I'm just uh running through it in
17252s my brain yeah
17254s meanwhile meanwhile yeah this has
17256s happened numbers
17258s [Music]
17260s no actually as oppressive as it could be
17263s um looking at the health numbers of
17264s course because there's been so many
17265s smolder Wings happening that the uh the
17267s attack is kind of fake it's just in
17269s terms of how much has happened uh not as
17271s impressive as it could be honestly still
17272s only single Calor Gas with the brand
17281s oh
17285s so I like going for more tokens again
17287s it's always tricky in the situate
17289s situation as well because
17291s on one hand this full Reaper is doing a
17294s ton of work of course yeah but on the
17296s other could be bigger yeah it could have
17300s hundreds of attack right it could just
17302s be any dragon and be a 60 60 by now
17304s right based on the what we're seeing
17305s from everything else
17309s keep up the momentum friend
17312s cleave is very powerful
17318s it really is especially when you're
17319s facing down some Divine Shields
17323s we're climbing for the Nadine surprise
17327s yeah I'm not sure these Divine Shields
17329s are going to get an awful lot of work
17330s done considering everything that you
17332s kill summons 12 1 ones again first hit
17335s was nice though didn't peel off Shield
17336s yet yeah true
17339s maybe the uh the full um
17343s oh yeah there you go see okay yep yep
17347s clean them up
17349s um
17351s look at all these cards
17358s oh and it looks like oh ATC beats out
17362s siren couldn't be my bandwagon pit
17365s killing your bandwagon pick could it
17367s Raven but if Etc wins so
17370s do you know how many points I get if Etc
17372s wins bandwagon turn one choice I'm
17375s totally fine with that
17378s I was not informed about how these
17380s points work I feel like I'm being
17381s cheated out of things here
17383s so yeah so I actually a one million
17386s points if this comes true it's like what
17388s I'm on like 12.
17394s the one game I didn't pick is DC as well
17398s I think more importantly over our petty
17400s squabbles
17401s um I believe the honestly went into this
17402s game on eight points someone went into
17404s this game six points so specifically
17406s gonna say smacking Sauron uh has done an
17410s awful lot of well uh work for Janice
17412s security like Sauron can just no longer
17414s make it right at this point also as well
17416s Soren and Ollie at quad on six and
17418s they're both true yeah right so that
17421s that's an extra stepping stone there and
17423s the odds are feasibly catchable person
17425s for Sauron is tessera who is also still
17427s alive in this game so it absolutely will
17429s not be overtaking Tessa
17435s by the way good job still being in this
17437s game with this board from uh from tesora
17439s really really good work like this board
17441s does not look like it should be alive
17443s but clearly uh Tesla has been scrambling
17445s and making stuff happening
17447s yeah I think this again might be just a
17449s really good nod to the position Tesla is
17452s in because that's where I won the first
17454s game kind of got not only got two and a
17457s half points in the second game so again
17459s being on nine and a half points Tesla's
17461s like I just need to just grab some
17463s points right and it's likely that they
17466s get through so yeah I completely agree I
17468s think they did a great job and remember
17469s it was only not long ago that Tesla got
17472s hit for like 15 right yeah so it was
17475s actually very healthy for the majority
17477s of this game
17479s I think we are saying no we're saying
17482s goodbye to Yana says ice block this turn
17484s right because if this is the fight over
17486s here that means murder bill is murdering
17489s giannisay right now but I believe Janus
17491s says ice block is still intact so major
17493s I believe
17497s yeah this place okay did not miss
17501s I don't know if it's going to matter
17502s based on the sheer volume of things that
17504s are hitting to Zara right now but still
17513s getting the job done but that is the ice
17515s block as mentioned so uh you can see he
17518s lives to the end of the day
17523s all right let's have a final hurray with
17526s the ETC if you don't mind Lorinda Lem
17528s cook for one more turn
17532s we are going to see this end for to
17534s Sarah but I think Sarah did a great job
17535s as we said
17539s oh it appears they're discover broke at
17541s some point along the road here or did
17543s they already take the uh the illidari
17545s I'm not sure if it's already done or not
17548s uh well they aren't they're on nine gold
17551s yeah they'll have not sure what's
17553s attached to them right they'll have plus
17555s gold magnetized onto the max yeah
17558s okay
17562s yep okay firms
17565s want to find some magnetic if possible
17567s we haven't really looked at the strategy
17569s in action but yeah you're kind of seeing
17571s it here you buy minions the shop gets
17572s passed you hopefully pick up some
17574s magnetics to dump onto your mix but it
17576s just hasn't it's worked fine up until
17578s this point you can see kind of running
17579s out of steam at this point
17581s again important to remember that they're
17583s getting two immune attacks right which
17585s is why the left is so heavily stacked
17587s here for you Anderson yep
17590s oh
17594s it's kind of funny that the Omega Buster
17595s definitely can't go left
17599s yeah true actually it can't even go
17602s second to insta reset the deflector
17604s right yeah yeah weird position you just
17607s want it with taunt that's what you'd
17608s want right like an annoying module right
17609s now yeah
17614s ah we see the order
17616s getting messed around with here fiance
17618s trying to work out whether they want a
17620s venomous uh immune but that's actually
17622s change anything right the Venom still
17623s goes away
17625s whether they're immune or not
17628s yeah on board as well I don't know how
17630s much information the honestly has about
17631s the about satellites board but I don't
17634s think venomous has a really big impact
17636s against what satellites doing
17639s so you know just see it just in case
17642s you're curious but a minion has stealth
17644s it cannot talk
17646s but yeah venomous not gonna do anything
17647s because it's all re-summons and divine
17649s Shields and Cleaves and everything else
17651s Under the Sun so not sure venomous was
17653s the direction to go in but honestly the
17655s reason I said let's have one more turn
17657s of Etc is I'm pretty sure there was
17659s nothing the ETC could do to be getting
17661s out of this fire at this point so Jana
17663s say who has provided us with some
17665s excellent entertainment throughout the
17666s day against their moment in the Sun as
17669s it looks like they are about to get
17671s murdered
17673s yeah looking too good but again really
17676s good effort there from yanase again
17679s mainly outlasting the people below them
17682s was you know plan a right which survived
17685s longer which means you probably qualify
17687s and I think again just at a glance we
17690s will confirm everything after this but
17691s just at a glance looks like Janice is a
17694s issue and back when we're still going
17697s over here
17701s I will say I don't think this is the uh
17704s the timeline where wty Bill actually
17706s qualifies with this no but I'm impressed
17709s nonetheless this is a good game of
17711s battleground it's Prevail yeah you are
17713s seeing at the very least why I had so
17715s much faith in Bill why building my
17717s fantasy picks like he's such a good
17719s player finally executing on something
17720s and like this isn't even just a game
17722s where he Mega High rolled right like it
17724s took him what six or seven attempts to
17727s find the first calic ghost this game and
17729s now here we are turned 16 and he's
17731s finally found the second and also
17742s either so even more impressive on top of
17745s that yeah up really well executed very
17747s very strong player and we'll be going
17749s out with a win but I do think it is very
17751s literally going out with a win yeah
17759s 773. you never finish this turn actually
17765s yeah wait there's still just a golden
17767s manted in hand yeah
17770s why is that there
17773s uh I mean because you triple like seven
17775s times every turn and you've just been
17777s picking mantids every time you see it
17780s it's just funny that's still in hand
17781s yeah that's the point it's just like
17783s yeah I don't need all these it's fine no
17784s you don't
17786s I think they're pretty well executed
17787s turn though does anyone have the power
17789s to uh Mouse over Bill's portrait and
17792s tell us how many triples he has please
17793s because I'm very very curious about that
17795s if that's at all the possibility
17806s we can mouse off the Manta Queen now
17807s though yeah I think either way
17813s I guess it doesn't matter too much
17814s because we could just see all of
17816s brecon's minions dying so that's all we
17819s need to know
17820s it's the emotional support Mountain
17822s Queen that's what's going on right yeah
17825s these little bot to like we can make it
17829s yeah wty build there not looking weirdly
17832s enough not looking too happy at the
17834s Victory and I think that's just because
17835s he knows he's not gonna qualify through
17837s to tomorrow as far as I I'm aware but
17839s still a fantastic game and showing off
17841s air the skills 100
17844s yeah very very well done but you can see
17846s the the mixed emotions at first let's
17849s say
17850s Bill I'm sure happy to put in a decent
17852s performance but yeah no that it's not
17854s going to be good enough in the end but
17855s yeah that's that's the level of
17857s competition we have here you know some
17859s great players were not going to make it
17861s through uh to the finals and that's the
17863s situation that bill finds himself in he
17864s is a great player you can see that
17866s through the execution of that final game
17867s but just not enough to get over the line
17869s in the end the situation we find
17871s ourselves in is having finished with the
17873s day with the last game and what you know
17876s while we just prepare the standings and
17877s prepare the results and everything for
17878s you guys like what what almost perfect
17880s today I would say so because we saw
17883s everything The Meta has to offer today
17885s and I thought that was super great like
17887s we didn't see you know oh it's it's
17889s beasts every Lobby and everyone's going
17891s Beast it was just every different
17893s strategy that you know I'm aware of at
17895s least was pretty much played out on
17897s stream today so I've enjoyed that a lot
17899s yeah and I think like this is genuine
17901s opinion like this is not paid chill
17903s opinion I do think we're in a pretty
17904s good place in terms of balance in the
17907s Battlegrounds meta right now it does
17908s feel like your job is your job is just
17911s to play what you're given right which is
17913s the correct way for Battlegrounds to
17915s exist in my opinion is you have to be
17917s able to react and understand to the
17919s possibilities of Any Given shop that's
17921s shown in front of you make the correct
17923s decisions but essentially just play what
17925s you're rolling into or play what you're
17927s being served on anything you can turn
17929s and I think that's where we're at at the
17931s moment there's no real indication of
17932s like force x Force y you have to play
17934s this every Lobby
17936s um it really is just a matter of
17937s anything can win if you hit the right
17939s stuff and if you're able to correctly
17941s recognize where your win conditions are
17943s in any given spot and these are the four
17945s players that have managed to do that the
17947s most successfully today satellite
17949s tessera yanase and mega Alex JP going
17953s through in the top four very very good
17956s stuff is there something those players
17958s have in common there is there is indeed
17961s satellite is from Japan tessera is from
17964s Japan yanase is from Japan and believe
17967s it or not Mega Alex JP is also from
17972s Japan we warned you okay at the start of
17975s the day you have to give the Jews to uh
17979s to Japan you have to give them their
17980s flowers they are absolutely crushing it
17982s in Battlegrounds right now and look at
17985s the lobby we have tomorrow we have
17988s tombaby shirosa or Shiro USA penguin Sun
17992s Mega Alex JP satellite to Surah and
17995s Janice and again just domination so far
17999s by Japan I don't think we expected
18001s anything less but a special shout out
18003s for me for two men honestly a player
18005s that I was not too familiar with
18006s whatsoever and I think not only
18008s obviously have they qualified to day two
18010s which is a fantastic achievement but I
18012s think they've had some really cool games
18013s as well we saw some great plays and
18015s obviously they won a lobby as well so I
18016s think that was definitely a play to keep
18018s an eye on for tomorrow yeah so six out
18021s of eight in the top eight being from
18023s Japan before we mentioned plus the two
18025s from group a as well and then tune being
18027s thrown in there is a debutant as well no
18029s previous Lobby Legends uh appearances
18031s for Tomb so very very well done to be uh
18033s mixing it with the Japanese Gods this
18035s time around and we'll see if anyone can
18037s uh can overthrow because Japan had been
18039s killing it and as mentioned not just in
18041s Battlegrounds being constructed as well
18042s picking up a couple of championships and
18045s constructed over the last few years as
18046s well very very well done
18051s come on
18055s yeah
18057s all right
18058s I've just recovered yeah close isn't
18061s close enough though is it I never win
18062s anything so does it feel worse because I
18065s don't actually think you were that far
18066s behind in the end or or yeah solace in
18069s that I I think I just can't be assuming
18072s I was gonna lose like the wait hang on
18074s did these still carry over to tomorrow
18076s they do right
18077s no we have no this is just today sorry
18079s this is just yesterday
18082s oh right well I've gonna have to prepare
18084s a little bit better one off the draw
18086s which would have uh which would have
18088s been interesting because we've both done
18090s a speech to each other with the draw
18091s wise combined points from this and the
18094s barrels blessing there there you go
18095s there's the final score of everything
18096s put together so you actually you
18098s actually beat me in Baron's blessing you
18100s had the one we tied a bunch and there
18102s was one that you got right that I didn't
18103s but yeah apart from that a little bit
18106s one-sided fantasy team got me
18111s I should have gone with my actual
18113s original play was to just pick all of
18116s the Japanese players that was actually
18118s gonna be my plan honestly they wouldn't
18120s look at it for you look at Salt in this
18122s picture so smug
18124s even in his still image he's looking
18126s smug about this Victory uh so that's a
18129s little bit upsetting for me but I'll be
18130s honest I expected it and then and yeah
18134s 427 so if anyone in chat has 427 uh beat
18137s feel free to add me on Twitter and I
18140s will block you immediately there you go
18142s that's just how it works uh yeah that
18144s unfortunately that does mean I have the
18146s uh unfun uh challenge or forfeit or
18149s whatever you want to call it for
18150s tomorrow and then I'm gonna have to
18152s write some kind of speech praising
18154s subtle I guess uh with some uh yeah
18156s there you go with some Hearthstone
18157s references in there uh the trickle B is
18160s whether I can Praise Him whilst also uh
18162s getting some dicks in there as well
18164s we'll see so we want my writing skills
18165s are like probably tomorrow morning at
18166s this point uh so we will be doing that
18169s at the start of the show tomorrow as
18170s well so make sure to tune in straight
18172s away because
18174s as if this relationship we have
18177s isn't already at that stage there's just
18179s one extra block being put on top of it
18182s at this point tomorrow so that's gonna
18183s be a joy
18184s um hit the Raven let's go pet the Raven
18187s and channel yeah
18189s it's gonna be a rough one but I'll try
18191s and make it entertaining for you guys so
18192s make sure to tune in if you want to as
18194s you often do laugh at me it's gonna be
18196s great but what has been great is today's
18198s Lobby Legends again another reminder we
18201s are back same time same place tomorrow
18203s to find out who our spring Champion is
18205s going to be and it's going to be
18207s fantastic if today is anything to to
18209s measure it by tomorrow is going to be
18210s absolutely fantastic with even
18212s potentially even more games being played
18214s out so from all of us here thanks a lot
18216s for watching we hope you had a great
18217s time we'll see you tomorrow
18220s foreign
