966s | he is only on um tier four as well so |
969s | he's not guaranteed to kill zigzaga |
971s | guaranteed to take the win guaranteed to |
974s | knock him out as well at seven damage |
976s | exactly man liked it how the game of his |
979s | life now turning it around |
985s | [Music] |
991s | welcome everybody to Lobby Legends |
994s | Castle northria it's the sixth of the |
997s | lobby Legends there's still three more |
998s | to come over the course of the year and |
1000s | to help me go through all of the things |
1003s | that are happening this time around and |
1004s | there's a lot of things going on it's |
1006s | going to be Lee who we will glad to see |
1007s | Lee you looking forward to this yeah I'm |
1010s | looking forward to the new extension and |
1013s | the second love of Legends with quests |
1015s | yeah the second Lobby Legends request |
1017s | but kind of the first one in a way |
1019s | because last time around I think quests |
1021s | were three days old and they'd been |
1023s | buffed and nerfed overnight in various |
1026s | ways anyway so this will be the first |
1028s | time that there's been a settled ish |
1030s | meta with quests |
1032s | um what what has happened what are we |
1033s | going to expect to see with Quest so |
1035s | people gonna be picking High picking low |
1036s | we'll talk about the format stuff in a |
1037s | minute we'll go straight into talking |
1038s | details now |
1040s | uh yeah I think that we're gonna see a |
1042s | lot of very easy to pick quests where |
1045s | you have to go out of your way to |
1046s | complete them and some more Tempo based |
1049s | ones and I'm personally expecting to see |
1051s | a lot of LeapFrog rebuilds with stolen |
1053s | gold and the theaters Pearsall |
1055s | yeah the elite Foggers always a favorite |
1057s | with a chat uh but first I guess we |
1060s | should talk a little bit about what's |
1062s | actually going to be happening over the |
1064s | course of this tournament |
1066s | um 16 players have qualified uh starting |
1068s | off on ladder going through some |
1070s | qualifiers off stream and so we're done |
1072s | with the last 16. there'll be two |
1074s | lobbies of three games each and the top |
1077s | half of each Lobby will go to the final |
1079s | tomorrow the bottom half won't and then |
1082s | the final would be the check format and |
1084s | all that stuff we'll talk about that |
1085s | more tomorrow |
1087s | um something I'd like to talk about with |
1089s | that Lee uh you've been through the |
1091s | early stages of this which is the same |
1092s | format when it's off stream how how do |
1095s | you mentally prepare to play just three |
1097s | games how do you how do you build up for |
1099s | that |
1100s | uh I think the important thing is to |
1103s | understand that everyone there is |
1106s | incredibly talented and strong at the |
1108s | game and you know it's only three games |
1110s | you can't beat yourself up too much if |
1112s | you don't end up making it through uh |
1114s | because there will be plenty of chances |
1115s | like you mentioned this year alone nine |
1117s | tournaments and you just gotta remember |
1120s | to not feel too bad about if you don't |
1122s | make it and prepare for the next one |
1125s | yeah and we've got the point structure |
1127s | we'll be able to show you in just a |
1128s | moment as well it's a very flat Point |
1132s | structure where you basically get a |
1134s | point for each place up the ladder you |
1135s | go is that a thing that makes a big |
1138s | difference to how you play is that like |
1139s | it's the same as ladder but it's not the |
1141s | same as ladder for the top players |
1142s | because they're trying to finish top |
1143s | three on ladder is that a bit different |
1145s | in tournaments |
1146s | uh yeah I'd say it's quite a bit |
1148s | different in latter |
1150s | um usually the makeup of the lobby is uh |
1154s | on average you know lower a lot lower |
1156s | than your MMR so you're usually shooting |
1159s | for top two but in this tournament uh |
1161s | because it's so flat |
1163s | um as long as you place above top four |
1164s | consistently that means you make it |
1166s | through so your pressure to get first or |
1169s | second is significantly reduced but the |
1172s | pressure to not get um eighth or seventh |
1175s | is also very high as well yeah it's |
1177s | weird because for the 99 of us who don't |
1179s | play in the top 16 it's the same as |
1181s | normal so I had a finished job four but |
1183s | it is worth emphasizing for the pro |
1184s | players it is a very different |
1186s | experience talking of a different |
1188s | experience we have got a different |
1190s | experience for the viewers on Twitch |
1192s | today with the tavern buddy |
1195s | um there are things that you can do on |
1197s | Twitch if you have a look on the left |
1199s | hand side you can Mouse over there and |
1201s | get into the extension first of all |
1203s | there's a fantasy team which you can do |
1205s | right now before we get going and I'm |
1206s | recommend you do where you choose the |
1209s | top three players in each group you get |
1213s | points for every game they play every |
1215s | game they do well in moving on from |
1218s | there is the puzzle box which again you |
1220s | can set that up now you can have a go at |
1222s | that right away where you'll be |
1225s | predicting the events of today's matches |
1227s | Leah and I will be having a go at that |
1230s | at some point ourselves as well to make |
1232s | fools or otherwise out of ourselves and |
1235s | again you can set that up now I'd |
1236s | recommend you do so get your points |
1238s | whilst the games are going on there are |
1240s | other things you can do bandwagon you |
1242s | have to guess the winner after four |
1244s | turns but |
1246s | you could bake your pick on turn one and |
1248s | get more points make the pick again on |
1250s | turn two if you don't like your pick |
1251s | maybe if they miss a token something |
1253s | like that maybe if they do something you |
1254s | don't like the way they play but you get |
1256s | fewer and fewer points the more you |
1258s | change your guests so you know sticking |
1260s | with your turn one guess gonna be a |
1261s | thing going to be a strategy see what |
1263s | people come up with and lastly his |
1265s | barov's a blessing and without a |
1268s | blessing we are gonna be in the capable |
1271s | hands of TJ Sanders our Observer Today |
1275s | um you will see both sides of a matchup |
1277s | on the screen uh you'll see the shops |
1279s | you'll see everything about it and |
1280s | you've got to pick the winner |
1283s | um Lee's had a chance to have a look at |
1284s | some of this in action |
1286s | um what's your favorite aspect of this |
1288s | Lee |
1289s | uh I think I personally like the barrels |
1292s | blessing uh barov is one of my favorite |
1294s | Heroes to play and I really like the |
1298s | um setup on screen where you get to see |
1300s | both players perspective while you bet |
1304s | I'm I'm looking forward to seeing how |
1305s | many different people's blessing I |
1307s | accidentally call it it's gonna be The |
1309s | Baron's blessing it's gonna be yogg's |
1312s | blessing it'll be all sorts of blessings |
1313s | and my brain just phases out but |
1315s | bellev's blessing definitely the best |
1317s | one better off blesses us with lots of |
1319s | gold coins or used to until quests came |
1322s | in and now power is impossible because |
1323s | who knows what's gonna happen from turn |
1325s | forwards |
1328s | there's the points we're talking about |
1330s | that structure we're on about a few |
1332s | minutes ago where it is like the MMR |
1334s | experience for for us regular sort of |
1337s | lower MMR players but again just |
1339s | emphasizing what Lee was talking about |
1341s | for the top players they tend to only |
1343s | get positive MMR for first second or |
1345s | third they tend to be playing in weaker |
1347s | lobbies and their own skill level but |
1349s | for this they are playing again like |
1351s | most of us do every day with people of |
1354s | their own levels so are coming top four |
1356s | and this is what it's all about |
1358s | 1250 for reaching at this stage ten |
1362s | thousand dollars for winning and another |
1363s | question I want to ask Lee who has |
1365s | played in big big tournaments for |
1367s | constructed as well is for |
1369s | Battlegrounds do you like the flat play |
1372s | structures that I think that helps take |
1373s | the pressure off |
1375s | um yeah |
1378s | I think uh Street instrument is good I |
1380s | mean there is a big bump from first to |
1381s | second but I do like that um there's a |
1384s | lot of incentive to |
1386s | push for every single placement you can |
1388s | get it's not like if you don't get first |
1390s | you feel bad |
1392s | um again like this Battlegrounds eight |
1394s | player game every single position you |
1395s | get is very hard fought |
1398s | and tires are perspective as well |
1401s | okay let's have a look at the picks I |
1403s | think for the puzzle box I'm sort of |
1405s | making this if we go a little bit I will |
1406s | admit it uh but Lee and I have put in |
1409s | our picks there we go |
1412s | um I'll let Lee have a chat through this |
1413s | I've just talked for way too long Lee |
1415s | I've talked through some of these |
1416s | highlights |
1417s | uh yeah so we have six questions |
1420s | um and you the audience can follow along |
1422s | as they're presented uh but first |
1425s | question is how many turns will the |
1426s | longest game be and you can choose over |
1428s | under 17.5 seems like both of us agree |
1431s | on that one going over |
1434s | um and second one is will a player win a |
1436s | game as master nguin or Panda as some of |
1438s | you may know it and this here was |
1440s | recently brought back I think after |
1441s | short Hiatus when Quest came out and |
1444s | this is the first one um we'll see him |
1447s | with quests and you end up choosing yes |
1450s | I chose no um master nuin or something I |
1454s | I love Master noi and I think Master is |
1456s | a Great Hero and I also do one with him |
1459s | but I kind of feel like um we may not |
1462s | even see that many master and win games |
1463s | today so I'm just going for a okay |
1466s | realistic I'm just there just going down |
1468s | to the the fifth one is an interesting |
1470s | one to me as well |
1472s | um you're saying that players will win a |
1474s | game without reaching Tavern tier six |
1476s | that's that's worth discussion I think |
1478s | uh yeah so the reason why I think that |
1481s | is um there's plenty of Minion type |
1484s | archetypes that don't need any tier 6 |
1487s | Minions at all so they can stay on tier |
1489s | 4 and tier five and even lower um in the |
1492s | case of some Heroes and still win a game |
1494s | and I think that'd be the case here too |
1497s | yeah I think your I see him referring in |
1499s | general to the Ivana Dragon strategy do |
1502s | you think that's a valid thing that we |
1503s | will see when you're going for top four |
1505s | is that thing we we expect to have a |
1507s | look at today I do think that's |
1509s | something we'll see today |
1511s | um I think of these tournaments people |
1512s | will favor consistent and maybe not the |
1515s | flashy strategies but ones that will get |
1517s | you tough for consistently we've said |
1519s | that also as well as hero picks in the |
1520s | past like dancing Daryl and curtress |
1523s | um but at least for that strategy the |
1524s | urana dragons one may not see a victory |
1527s | there but I could definitely see it |
1529s | reaching top two or three yeah and of |
1532s | course last time around we had subtle |
1534s | repeatedly informing us that devil is |
1536s | going to come third place is that sort |
1538s | of thing is devil just third place as |
1540s | you see the line of their group back |
1542s | um |
1543s | I think it may not be as good as before |
1545s | because quests kind of pushed the game |
1547s | into even |
1549s | stronger strategies and Daryl hasn't |
1551s | really kept up with it but you know I |
1554s | think I'll still see a Daryl pick all |
1556s | right group a you play against a lot of |
1558s | these people and we both made fantasy |
1561s | picks which would come up later but |
1562s | who's going to take down group a and why |
1564s | nice easy question yes if I had to |
1567s | choose three I would choose sleepy |
1569s | um and educator Collins |
1572s | I got a roof for you know my Regents |
1575s | players sleepy and Collins and that |
1577s | system say has had a very dominant |
1580s | performance in lobby Legends in the past |
1582s | I believe he got second and the last one |
1584s | and then he's made the finals of a |
1588s | previous one as well yeah interesting in |
1590s | that group to see Aloo Timo making an |
1592s | appearance obviously known far more for |
1594s | his constructed play uh Group B we don't |
1597s | look at the third pole on the xqn |
1600s | obviously everybody's hero my hero the |
1602s | best Battlegrounds play in the world all |
1604s | that good stuff that I like to talk |
1605s | about |
1607s | um I will shout at chat later on who say |
1609s | that X screen is not a good tournament |
1610s | player I will have that rant again but I |
1613s | Champion Liam goesu from last time |
1614s | around |
1616s | um who do you think's got a chance of |
1617s | unseating him out of this lot |
1620s | um so I gotta also agree with you and |
1621s | say executing has a very good chance |
1623s | he's only been improving as these lovely |
1626s | Legends progress but I also got a shout |
1628s | out Peter Babbitt too |
1630s | one of the most underrated players and a |
1633s | very different player right like yeah |
1636s | you've got your sleepies you've got even |
1638s | ghosties who just go all in eighth or |
1641s | first tight Styles at least to some |
1643s | degree a bit about it just is tempo God |
1646s | I want to call him Tempo King he's just |
1649s | always |
1650s | just seems to have I know a Tavernier |
1652s | less than his opponent all the time and |
1654s | just still have the same amount of stuff |
1656s | on board |
1657s | uh I'd say he also can really really win |
1661s | lobbies |
1662s | um when he gets the opportunity but also |
1665s | feel like it's a good read as well and |
1666s | he doesn't get seventh or eighth very |
1668s | often and recently in one of his streams |
1670s | he actually showed his stats and over |
1672s | like 100 games he didn't get a single |
1674s | seven or eight so I think it's just a |
1676s | good read on like when he has to you |
1679s | know fight hard for not bottom two |
1682s | that is absolutely nutty and honestly |
1684s | you know not coming seventh or eighth |
1686s | that's exactly what you want today if |
1688s | you don't come seventh or 8th today or |
1690s | tomorrow uh you're going to put the |
1692s | lobby in check and have a great chance |
1693s | of winning the whole tournament if he |
1695s | knows when to win a game as well |
1697s | um that makes beta a very very dangerous |
1699s | proposition which we know right he's had |
1701s | Seasons or weeks within Seasons where |
1704s | he's just gone miles top or a long way |
1705s | top at the top of the leaderboard when |
1707s | no one's really paying attention to him |
1710s | um and doing things just his own way I |
1712s | feel |
1713s | yeah even recently |
1715s | um he is like way way ahead of everyone |
1717s | else and number one America is right now |
1720s | and I think he's kind of on top of this |
1722s | game right now so I think this is going |
1724s | to be a good tournament for him and like |
1725s | you said right |
1727s | um he's very good at not getting seventh |
1728s | or eighth so this is the perfect |
1730s | environment for him to test his skills |
1732s | I'm gonna put you on the spot here they |
1733s | might you might not know this do you |
1735s | know who's rank one Legend on Europe |
1736s | right now I'm just going to very quickly |
1738s | check because it has been changing and |
1740s | why is more is the amusing |
1742s | um |
1743s | or standard right no four four |
1746s | Battlegrounds did I say Legend that's |
1749s | just habit yes just who's right yeah |
1751s | right now oh it's um zorgo right so it's |
1754s | actually xqn I was watching zork's dream |
1757s | before this and xqn has grabbed rank one |
1760s | because dog and um God damn it have been |
1763s | fighting it out and losing |
1765s | no xqn by not playing today has gone |
1769s | into rank one because the other two |
1771s | fighting for first place have messed up |
1773s | and gone below him but it was Zork I |
1776s | mean that was the point of the question |
1777s | it was or right up until like two hours |
1780s | ago |
1781s | um and they've both hit terrible runs |
1783s | and xqn once again is just somehow top |
1785s | even though he was a long way behind |
1787s | like he's 13.8 and both good dammit and |
1791s | um zorg were over 14 I think |
1793s | yeah zorg was pushing for 15. I don't |
1795s | know yeah they always have something to |
1798s | shoot for but yeah I mean that's the |
1800s | thing with Battlegrounds you can also |
1803s | have your bad streaks too and in this |
1805s | tournament that could happen and it |
1807s | could be out but you know as long as |
1809s | you're consistently good it will be your |
1811s | turn to shine I think that'll be the |
1813s | case for a lot of the players here |
1816s | yeah and just this is where we get to |
1818s | the bit of the cast that you're going to |
1819s | really enjoy Lee where we have the |
1821s | unspecified talking for a while while we |
1824s | wait for games to start how you liking |
1826s | that part of it so far uh yeah I mean |
1829s | I'm kind of used to it as well |
1831s | um I played in tournaments |
1833s | um that weren't Lobby Legends and you |
1835s | know I have to entertain my audience as |
1837s | they wait uh for the next round to start |
1839s | so pretty used to it rather like Lee's |
1843s | understated I've played in tournaments |
1845s | you have won Tour stop tournaments |
1847s | everybody should know this yeah uh yeah |
1849s | one F1 buenos areas Back in the Day in |
1853s | 2018 and you were actually casting uh |
1855s | that tournament on the English side yeah |
1857s | Derek and I were casting that one that |
1858s | was a pretty good tournament actually I |
1860s | think that may have been it was |
1861s | definitely the right year but and the |
1863s | right location the famous one where rage |
1865s | played against machine which was |
1866s | something I always wanted to cast for |
1868s | obvious reasons didn't care who won just |
1870s | just rage play against machine |
1873s | always wanted it to happen |
1876s | um okay let's talk about some specifics |
1877s | of what might happen in this tournament |
1881s | um |
1882s | we mentioned a little bit in the intro |
1883s | but quest of a big deal uh which are the |
1886s | quests you can go for like I'm gonna I'm |
1888s | gonna talk about lamps a little bit |
1890s | which is the question other question can |
1891s | you go for that are the expensive ones |
1893s | that maybe you can still get done as |
1895s | opposed to the obvious take the tempo |
1897s | complete your quest |
1899s | um so I think the ones that are really |
1900s | good for winning that may be classified |
1903s | as a bit greedy are secrets in stone I |
1905s | think is maybe a little underrated at |
1908s | the moment uh and basically what that |
1910s | one does is every time you discover |
1912s | anything you'll get another copy of it |
1915s | and it's only offered to Heroes that |
1916s | have a hero power that say discover on |
1918s | them so I think Elise ticket is |
1921s | um that sort of thing going scavs yeah |
1923s | this is ridiculous yeah and I think that |
1927s | one can very easily snowball because |
1928s | when you're on tier 5 or tier six and |
1931s | you're tripping the sixes um and |
1932s | discovering them you know you're getting |
1934s | two copies of six drop and then you have |
1936s | to just discover another one of those |
1937s | and then you can basically like chain |
1939s | discovers because you know you're |
1942s | tripling all these six drops and getting |
1943s | very high value cards |
1946s | um that's the one I've seen do really |
1948s | well I've also seen victim Specter that |
1951s | one is where |
1952s | um at the end of your combat the last |
1955s | minute that you have dies you'll get a |
1957s | plain copy of it and that one can easily |
1960s | also lead to triples of very high Valley |
1962s | minions if you place your minions |
1964s | carefully yeah especially in the early |
1967s | terms because you can usually complete |
1969s | that one quite quickly and you'll have |
1972s | like pairs on the board and so you're |
1975s | talking I know turn seven turn eight |
1976s | you're trying to win a fight or lose a |
1979s | fight no matter what with the right |
1980s | minion I tell you what it is hard when |
1983s | it sounds to get those triples set up so |
1985s | obviously the high standard players is |
1988s | going to be a bit easier but it is I had |
1991s | two pairs on board earlier today trying |
1992s | to get them set up so that I get the |
1994s | triple I just couldn't do it yeah it |
1996s | would be interesting to see positioning |
1998s | if that comes up that's very tricky and |
2000s | it's like something I also kind of took |
2002s | myself up on too like I forget at the |
2004s | end of my positioning that I have to |
2006s | position also for my quest as well as |
2009s | for combat strength and we'll see you |
2012s | know how well players will end up doing |
2014s | it today but we may see some funky |
2016s | positioning and taunts you know just the |
2018s | sake of getting the victim Specter value |
2022s | and when it comes down to tomorrow the |
2026s | check format you have to win a Lobby |
2030s | um |
2031s | is there anything you wanted to do |
2033s | differently do you just play your |
2033s | natural game do you think or you're |
2035s | going to sort of see players |
2036s | deliberately picking these these more |
2039s | extravagant quests |
2042s | um so I think we'll definitely see some |
2043s | different gameplay than the qualifying |
2046s | ones even the earlier rounds of the |
2048s | finals because right if you win then you |
2051s | win the tournament and it's over but I |
2053s | also think it won't be super different |
2055s | where everyone will just be like readily |
2058s | picking the quest that's most special |
2060s | win it's like you mentioned earlier the |
2063s | price Fusion is rather flat so you know |
2066s | you don't want to just like get a bunch |
2068s | of eighths or sevenths trying to get for |
2069s | first and then end up last because you |
2072s | didn't close out a game |
2073s | yeah it's going to be interesting that's |
2075s | the mentality thing as well I think for |
2076s | some people you know the money's worth a |
2078s | lot more than it is for others as well |
2080s | some people just have the whole I want |
2081s | to win a thing going on and some people |
2084s | know I'd rather win seven and a half |
2085s | thousand dollars because that's a lot of |
2087s | cash |
2088s | um just a reminder where we are in this |
2090s | small sort of waiting for the players to |
2092s | get going which I think is getting |
2093s | somewhere now looks like about to get |
2095s | going uh you do need to get in your |
2097s | picks now for the the puzzle box and for |
2100s | your fantasy team so get that in and you |
2102s | will need to do your bandwagon in a |
2104s | moment as soon as you see the game kick |
2105s | off as well and we'll be playing along |
2108s | here I don't know how we're going to do |
2109s | it but we'll find a way we'll do it as |
2111s | we go |
2112s | we're getting into game |
2113s | [Music] |
2116s | um do you have any requests that you |
2118s | would personally want to see when |
2120s | somebody is lobbies today I mean I've |
2122s | got the Wonder Ball to actually do the |
2126s | thing on one of the things um a bit of a |
2129s | meme but you just gotta watch some |
2131s | wonderful churches it's just as much fun |
2132s | as watching frogs for me watching people |
2134s | get ridiculous Refreshers getting some |
2135s | triples out of the blue get a gold for |
2137s | no reason get seven hookers in the shop |
2140s | you know that sort of thing it's just |
2141s | good fun |
2142s | that's the one that I'm running for the |
2144s | most wondrous wisdom ball into seven |
2146s | Hoggers uh I know there are quite a few |
2149s | hogger enjoyers in um this tournament |
2151s | it's basically beater and sleepy would |
2154s | really really like to see them piles and |
2156s | APM Parts oh yeah absolutely |
2160s | um APN pipes is something that I feel is |
2162s | one of the best final builds I think the |
2164s | best final build please feel free to |
2166s | tell me how stupid I am here is still |
2168s | the Exodia build but it's just almost |
2170s | impossible to get it the way the game is |
2173s | yeah I think it depends um it may be a |
2177s | little harder for some of the players to |
2178s | get as big as they want to some of their |
2181s | builds because of the server restriction |
2184s | they're not playing on their Home Server |
2185s | so it'll be a little slower |
2187s | um but yeah I mean you can get this |
2190s | that's it pretty ridiculously |
2192s | but |
2193s | um if any of these lobbies have Beasts |
2195s | we can also see the counter play to very |
2197s | big stats from APM builds by just |
2200s | leaping onto some beasts with the baron |
2203s | yeah and I will be hassling you as we |
2206s | get into the the Beast situations too |
2208s | the finer points as well we've all seen |
2210s | it happen we've all lost to it a million |
2212s | times you know with with goldens being |
2214s | easy to make now on the left and right |
2216s | but whenever I try and build it my Baron |
2217s | just gets insta killed by a zap or |
2219s | something so I'm looking forward to |
2221s | seeing how these top players make their |
2223s | zap into a 15-15 so that they'll break |
2225s | their bound into 15 15 so that doesn't |
2227s | happen yeah |
2229s | [Music] |
2230s | um I think there's going to be a lot of |
2231s | interesting counter play with those |
2233s | bills |
2234s | um right now I think with the game State |
2236s | there is a ton of counter play with the |
2238s | amount of tech cards that have been |
2240s | given to us the stuff like Uther which |
2244s | you mentioned can help make a minion at |
2245s | 1515 play around zap another interesting |
2249s | one is unstable cool |
2251s | um got got changed basically it's a |
2253s | tunnel Blaster instead of doing one |
2255s | damage to every minion you deal three |
2257s | and if you have enough combinations with |
2261s | um Baron and Maca you can deal some |
2263s | serious damage to a board which could be |
2266s | some interesting kind of play we see |
2267s | today specifically against big Froggers |
2272s | I'm just checking looks like they are |
2274s | still getting the lobby set up they're |
2275s | having an issue or two but I think we |
2278s | are going into the game |
2280s | don't forget to get your bandwagon picks |
2283s | in but let's have a look what we've got |
2285s | going on here oh some plenty to choose |
2287s | from here straight away for Collins what |
2288s | would you like here |
2290s | um I think I'd probably like to see a |
2292s | fart in pick here with |
2294s | um b sir mix-in it could be easy to |
2296s | Triple macaws or Barons or even six drop |
2299s | the throttles or I think another |
2301s | favorite is just random beast cards too |
2305s | um |
2306s | but he may decide to pick Tess or hook |
2308s | Tusk as well which are pretty valid |
2310s | picks |
2312s | but |
2314s | yeah you want the Varden and |
2316s | have |
2318s | I'd say not the flashiest heroes though |
2321s | could be available here we go into sire |
2325s | Penguins don't say which quests oh look |
2329s | here oh that's an early book okay |
2334s | but I don't know if it's gonna be good |
2336s | enough yeah and the fact that song |
2337s | agrees because it's 15 refreshes quite a |
2340s | bit I think you don't want to refresh |
2342s | too much in the early turns |
2345s | um just just got the way to buy things |
2348s | there it's interesting to see if he |
2349s | stays on one and really goes for the |
2350s | bribe but bribe's just oh we got it set |
2353s | what is happening here that's a |
2355s | fantastic setup right |
2357s | uh I really wanted to see the teammaster |
2359s | not because I think it'd be good in the |
2361s | spot just because I think it'd be |
2363s | something fun to watch it's one of those |
2364s | cards that maybe got a little underrated |
2367s | um but it's a little bit strange like he |
2370s | has a beast a dragon and a demon for his |
2373s | setup so not really the Synergy picks |
2375s | he's looking for but |
2377s | um |
2378s | yeah you may have just made the best out |
2380s | of what he offered |
2382s | I was having a look through HSV play for |
2386s | how much hero powers like how much you |
2389s | want to spend on your hero power now and |
2392s | the top 10 |
2394s | Heroes and HSV play at the moment |
2396s | um none of them have a hero power that |
2398s | costs anything and then from the next |
2400s | nine the only two that cost anything |
2402s | were barov and scabs which basically are |
2405s | money related right and the first hero |
2408s | was in 20th place where you have to |
2410s | actually pay for a what I'll call a |
2412s | regular hero power was saurfang that was |
2414s | in 20th all the rest were three or all |
2417s | the two exceptions I've listed yeah |
2419s | that's pretty interesting to me because |
2421s | um one of the heroes in this Lobby is |
2422s | Targo and he has a notoriously High |
2425s | Caster power you know starting at 10 |
2428s | right now I'm up from nine and here I |
2430s | would say it was one of the top three |
2432s | Heroes before his hero power got |
2434s | reverted from nine to ten so he didn't |
2437s | make that cut unfortunately |
2438s | yeah how how has that made such a huge |
2441s | difference is it just the timing is no |
2443s | longer sensible on on target |
2446s | um it made it so it's a lot harder to be |
2448s | stronger on your early turns normally |
2450s | you would hear a power on |
2453s | um turn four and turn five but now you |
2456s | can only hear a power on turn four if |
2458s | you have a token and you level up to |
2461s | three on turn three now you have to wait |
2463s | and it comes out pretty significant cost |
2466s | to your life |
2468s | don't forget to hit your bandwagon pick |
2470s | and if you get the chance Lee as well |
2471s | we're doing it oh it's a secret but yeah |
2475s | um |
2476s | okay look at Gene haven't seen much of |
2479s | him yet |
2481s | um setting up for yeah decent turn next |
2484s | turn let's see stay with him see what he |
2486s | chooses to do |
2488s | and then we'll have the the whole Quest |
2490s | thing going on we'll try and get as much |
2492s | info on the Quest for you as quickly as |
2494s | we can when they come up |
2496s | yeah I'm excited to see the quest I'm |
2498s | also really interested at rubber jeans |
2500s | early turns you just had to stay down |
2502s | which like I mentioned earlier was |
2504s | nothing you would typically do on toggle |
2506s | before you would level up really |
2508s | aggressively in the first two turns but |
2509s | he decided to stay down |
2513s | and it may even be a factor of the quest |
2515s | to being easier to complete with more |
2517s | Minions on board |
2519s | evil twins an okay Quest right if you're |
2521s | going to add 15 cards to hand you can do |
2523s | that pretty easily out of thought |
2525s | um especially with Target yeah that's |
2527s | correct but I'm not sure if the reward |
2529s | would be strong enough it seems like |
2532s | honestly he didn't get super valuable |
2535s | crossword options and he has to kind of |
2537s | choose you know what's going to be the |
2539s | most realistic or bestest situation |
2541s | and I think Menasha and Mayhem may be a |
2545s | pretty good option because minions dying |
2547s | is a lot easier when you have minions |
2549s | like micro mummy on your board and it |
2552s | just happens without you having to |
2553s | really do much about it whereas you know |
2556s | losing or tying fights is kind of |
2558s | dependent on your opponents and adding |
2560s | cards can be difficult you know if you |
2562s | can only really hear a power like maybe |
2564s | once or twice in the next three turns |
2567s | so with Mayhem are you going to start |
2569s | looking for divine Shields maybe Divine |
2571s | Shield up and amalgam that sort of thing |
2573s | or do you just play the game and let the |
2575s | the Buffs do their thing |
2578s | um I think you probably want to try to |
2580s | find Divine Shields but it could also be |
2581s | you know just whatever you get |
2586s | here |
2588s | just getting some early Tempo with the |
2590s | Reno |
2591s | um interesting to me |
2593s | to see him only on tier two but it is |
2595s | only turn four it really messes up my |
2597s | curve seeing question progress it feels |
2599s | like it should be a lot later this is |
2601s | fine right there's a lot of damage there |
2603s | yeah this is a quite strong board the |
2606s | three seven imposter checks there is |
2607s | going to be quite valuable in these |
2609s | early combats giving a lot of HP to a |
2612s | minion if you can die that's always the |
2614s | bouncing act having it big enough to get |
2616s | value but also small enough to actually |
2619s | died before something else does yeah |
2622s | back in the day when there weren't a |
2623s | million other things going on with |
2625s | quests and such like I always found the |
2627s | Vino choices very interesting where |
2631s | you might just end up even hero powering |
2634s | I know |
2635s | there's some high main or something just |
2637s | to stay alive in some games and other |
2639s | times you'd just end up waiting and |
2641s | waiting waiting and hear repairing a |
2642s | good six just depending what start you |
2644s | got so something to look out for there |
2646s | varden's interesting to talk about |
2649s | um how often is freezing a triple just a |
2652s | a trap with vard and how often should |
2654s | you just ignore it not here but like in |
2656s | general |
2658s | um I feel like for the most part you |
2660s | wouldn't ignore a triple unless it's |
2661s | really it's the minute you don't want |
2663s | especially early on |
2665s | um it's nice just to have an early |
2667s | triple to help you figure out what |
2669s | you're going to be doing later on the |
2671s | game is a little easier to figure out |
2672s | what you're doing because of quests like |
2674s | you can play around that as well as what |
2677s | these shops may offer you |
2680s | um but yeah I think here Collins is |
2682s | deciding on whether or not he'll take a |
2685s | four drop or a five drop |
2688s | um not quite sure what his quest is but |
2690s | I feel like fives are always a good |
2692s | option when they're a beast then and |
2696s | um you're just playing your game one and |
2697s | trying to get a safe placement so it |
2699s | seems like Collins also agrees here and |
2702s | he takes the money card to be able to |
2704s | sell an extern for a five drop discover |
2706s | yeah I'll let you know what his question |
2708s | as soon as it pops up we should be able |
2709s | to get you that in |
2711s | probably a turn or two's time |
2713s | um we have got most of the others now |
2715s | just scanning down see if anything crazy |
2717s | has been picked |
2720s | don't see any wisdom balls which is the |
2722s | most important thing right now |
2725s | yeah we see creatures already has red |
2727s | hand activated so it's gonna be pretty |
2731s | difficult to beat him in the early turns |
2734s | I'm just |
2735s | curious if he also has a minute he's |
2737s | holding right now or if he'll have to |
2739s | wait until the next turn to get the |
2741s | first proc of his redheads |
2745s | um |
2747s | [Music] |
2749s | so yeah it looks like easily if we'll |
2751s | have to wait till this turn |
2753s | um but his activation must have been |
2755s | really easy like he only has four |
2757s | Minions on board so |
2759s | it must have been like play dragons or |
2761s | demons with the unlikely Duo |
2765s | I've just had a look at the questing as |
2767s | well some of them are a little bit hard |
2769s | to decipher just for now |
2772s | um but it seems like yeah easily has |
2773s | also picked up probably the best minion |
2776s | to buff up at this age of the game the |
2778s | deflector bot and he can go ahead and |
2781s | hold it in his hand to get the buff and |
2783s | he's also preparing as well for his |
2785s | first Quest activation or his first hero |
2787s | power activation which is buy three |
2789s | minions to give them all |
2792s | plus 2 plus 2. and he may have made a |
2795s | small mistake here I noticed he sold off |
2797s | the main body of the Alley Cat that he |
2800s | bought and if he had sold off this one |
2803s | one on board instead he would have a |
2804s | three three instead of one one which you |
2807s | know in these sort of games can matter a |
2809s | lot you know that early life May mean |
2811s | the difference between a placement or |
2813s | two yeah |
2815s | yes |
2816s | um it's amazing if you do mess around at |
2819s | lower ranks in particular and just get |
2821s | your mechanics right just get the those |
2823s | little things a little bit better it's |
2826s | amazing how much more you win it doesn't |
2828s | look like much just saving a health here |
2829s | and there |
2831s | um but that Health soon translating to |
2833s | suddenly you survive an extra term which |
2835s | moves you up two places which is 28 MMR |
2837s | it's it's absolutely nutty how these |
2840s | tiny things do multiply through and it's |
2842s | why that |
2844s | people say that there's a lot of luck in |
2846s | Battlegrounds but if you put the top |
2848s | players against somebody of you know six |
2850s | or seven K the top players win a high |
2853s | high percentage of those games |
2855s | yeah and something you can also just see |
2857s | on Twitter streams uh on streams as well |
2860s | um you know some of those players |
2862s | haven't seen records depending on a day |
2864s | where they only get like first seconds |
2866s | and thirds |
2868s | yeah exactly you see some of the uh for |
2870s | whatever reason having to start up a new |
2872s | account I think xqn had to do it |
2873s | recently and it's just first and second |
2876s | for 30 games until they start hitting |
2879s | their sort of normal level |
2882s | yeah |
2883s | um |
2885s | but yeah one other like just partying |
2887s | thought I'd like to say to that is |
2888s | especially in these um tournaments |
2891s | people tend to not die for a while and |
2894s | then when they do start to be eliminated |
2896s | it's usually in batches so you know if |
2898s | you can hold off for next turn there can |
2900s | be a lot of placements and points in |
2902s | this tournament Absolutely I'll just |
2904s | look at your Sleepy's position here this |
2906s | is just the most sleepy board ever |
2909s | um I was talking to you in in rehearsal |
2911s | like |
2913s | sleepy somebody I learned a lot from but |
2916s | learning from sleep is interesting |
2917s | because he is incredibly aggressive and |
2919s | he knows what he's doing I copied this |
2921s | exact play I would die I wouldn't be on |
2923s | 46 I'd be on 12. |
2926s | yeah I'd say um like going for this |
2930s | early tier six it's not something I |
2931s | would really see in this tournament like |
2934s | people mostly don't do that but if |
2936s | anyone's gonna do it Sleepy's gonna do |
2938s | it and it'll maybe work out for him the |
2941s | photo leap is normally the pick when you |
2943s | get that early but God is tempting |
2945s | depending what's behind here right yeah |
2947s | so his um Quest is summon 18 minions for |
2951s | victim Specter and he's um yeah it's |
2955s | gonna take a while for him to get there |
2956s | I think it'd be interesting to get |
2958s | multiple guards off the quest but |
2960s | realistically he has to also survive |
2962s | that long test I think it will be a |
2964s | stronger pick for now yeah and that's |
2966s | exactly the situation I was talking |
2967s | about where you know if you're sleepy |
2970s | and you you have this very aggressive |
2973s | way of playing you've also got to know |
2975s | when to stop being aggressive right like |
2977s | going for the the guy there's a huge |
2979s | option the absolute jackpot play but |
2982s | yeah sleepy sensitively going well I've |
2984s | kind of pushed my luck let's not push it |
2986s | any further |
2987s | yeah and I'd say that may not have been |
2990s | the option that he wanted to go for but |
2992s | it's just something that he has to set |
2994s | up for since you maybe didn't get |
2997s | um the direction that he wanted watching |
2999s | this game could have been like a six |
3002s | drop death like golden or uh Buster |
3005s | which would be easy to build around |
3006s | um on his next few turns I just find |
3008s | like Macau and baron or just Max and |
3010s | beasts depending on what he gets oh look |
3013s | where we're at with this Vino yeah if |
3016s | Reno gets uh calligas it would be |
3018s | perfect like he already has all the |
3021s | dragons and a golden old Smuggler uh |
3023s | he's used the power on that though right |
3025s | oh yeah he's actually gone for the |
3027s | safety option right |
3029s | yeah that's why you mentioned before |
3031s | um you decided to just use the hero |
3033s | power earlier I'm not sure exactly what |
3036s | turned but he definitely used it on |
3037s | another Drake |
3039s | um very early on with the amount of HP |
3041s | on this then the Drake 12. |
3043s | Sim here is the like three turns ago or |
3046s | four |
3048s | um so yeah what's what's the attack on |
3050s | it we |
3053s | uh but he did end up getting exactly |
3055s | what uh he's looking for Dragon cards to |
3057s | go with his Dragon comp and yeah he |
3059s | chose to opt for more scaling with the |
3062s | calgus which makes sense because |
3065s | I think he's gonna need a lot more |
3067s | um stats overall to compete with some of |
3069s | the other boards |
3071s | yeah where would you expect this to |
3073s | finish this is sort of for me already |
3074s | looking like a can I come top four and |
3076s | get out of here safely kind of idea |
3080s | um so let's see |
3082s | the quest was |
3086s | Menasha and Mayhem for uh the Reno Akash |
3089s | Rosa which is obviously not good when |
3092s | your board is One Tribe so I'd also |
3095s | agree probably like top four |
3097s | um but depending on how strong the lobby |
3099s | is it could even go further |
3103s | go to the house he's got the most health |
3107s | yeah it's because of the tavern tippers |
3109s | um but I'd expect his HP to go down |
3111s | lower |
3113s | um as the game progresses because you |
3115s | sacrificed a lot of his uh potential by |
3119s | tipping gold you know he had tip of gold |
3121s | every single turn and could have spent |
3123s | that on buying the ninja leveling up can |
3126s | we have a flick to penguin after this |
3128s | fight because he's completed both quests |
3130s | as sire and he's gone Elemental nutty as |
3132s | well |
3134s | um have a look how that's going on thank |
3137s | you TJ here we go look at the size of |
3139s | these Elementals already this is old |
3140s | school stuff right oh uh this is an |
3144s | amazing combination of uh compositions |
3147s | and quests so with the anima bribe every |
3150s | minion that he sells it will go to |
3152s | random minion on board and he's gonna |
3154s | have a lot of minions in the shop that |
3156s | are very high studded because these two |
3158s | light spawns and because of the Legion |
3160s | overs here |
3162s | um so I think from him we'll probably |
3164s | expect more passive scaling with the |
3165s | light spawns while becoming strong with |
3168s | these |
3169s | um buy and sell turns to make a big name |
3172s | like this Wildfire Elemental yeah we saw |
3175s | a penguin in lobby Legends five in the |
3177s | group stages |
3178s | um two sevenths and a second place not a |
3181s | lot to read into that obviously it's |
3182s | just three games of Battlegrounds |
3186s | um but they seem to have extreme results |
3188s | and |
3189s | looking for me to be favored it's a bit |
3192s | like to change my bandwagon pick |
3193s | unfortunately but favored to um |
3195s | to do rather well in this Lobby right |
3197s | now with no murlocs in so just making |
3200s | some big numbers could put him in a |
3201s | fantastic spot here |
3203s | yeah |
3204s | um but again you have to watch out for |
3206s | the leapfrogger builds and Mexican also |
3208s | coming up nowhere to even beat you know |
3211s | a lot of stats like that |
3213s | oh but we do see Curtis going here for |
3215s | uh Eastlake going here for the teamaster |
3218s | which is something I personally want to |
3221s | see a lot of um see how it go like it's |
3224s | very consists of scaling on good man's |
3226s | he has a defecto and a bronze Warden to |
3229s | buff up with a teammaster and it also |
3232s | just kind of fits his um game plan of |
3234s | buying and Sonic minions for his pure |
3236s | power |
3238s | yeah Curtis obviously one of the better |
3241s | Heroes I would say at the moment |
3243s | um mainly because the hero power doesn't |
3245s | cost anything that's kind of where we're |
3247s | at and it very very good temper of |
3249s | course as well so |
3251s | that will run out fairly soon but still |
3254s | nice for the time being |
3256s | yeah |
3257s | um here's a pretty respectable life |
3259s | total and board you know that he's |
3262s | created |
3263s | um |
3264s | you're winning pretty solidly you know |
3266s | he's 21 18 uh de facto and he's gonna |
3269s | get another massive one from the red |
3270s | hands |
3272s | um in hand |
3273s | I could see him finishing top three very |
3275s | easily the nine entertainment looks like |
3278s | going to die here oh that maybe a |
3281s | symptom it did |
3283s | yeah basically it was a coin flip to die |
3285s | there hold on |
3288s | and that's something else about this |
3290s | format which I'm finding really |
3292s | not hard to get a group with but unusual |
3294s | you're playing for Tempo a lot of the |
3296s | time but nobody's dying until turn nine |
3298s | turn ten turn 11 a lot of the time |
3300s | unless you get one of those lobbies |
3302s | where somebody just rips through it and |
3303s | murders it right in this case it may be |
3308s | um penguin Sun doing the The Ripping or |
3311s | even the arena |
3313s | um but I mean Altima got a really good |
3316s | copy of a minion with his hero power he |
3318s | has a double Mama Bear now and he picked |
3320s | the triple into a gas killer I think now |
3323s | the assistant say will be put in the |
3325s | defensive here and maybe eliminated over |
3327s | him |
3329s | yeah we haven't seen much of this essay |
3330s | but I would definitely expect other team |
3333s | to be able to put up enough stats on |
3334s | this board to |
3336s | be in a good spot here |
3339s | he does so many premium minions at the |
3341s | my bear at the Croc and the gas carrier |
3344s | and you can protect them all with this |
3345s | void load if he chooses to but uh he may |
3348s | just opt for cigarettes as well which |
3350s | can protect his um carry minions |
3353s | gas clue respect is going to be so weird |
3355s | if I'm reading this right because it's |
3357s | just going to be just getting some |
3359s | random stuff in your hand at the end of |
3361s | each turn if you're not careful yeah and |
3364s | a lot of different minions that uh gas |
3366s | course summons too summon their own you |
3368s | know it's like the zero rat or rat pack |
3369s | or I'm getting Menace so sometimes |
3372s | you're just gonna talk a minute in your |
3373s | hand or like just a cool looking gold a |
3377s | coin to spend |
3380s | actually we expect that I have found to |
3381s | be you know something you have to watch |
3383s | out for is ending up with tokens in your |
3386s | hand that just don't do anything you're |
3387s | not going to Triple them they're they're |
3389s | rubbish cards |
3391s | um you're not going to Tipple them over |
3392s | and over again by getting three Specter |
3394s | hits so yeah getting rid of your tokens |
3395s | is definitely important if you're trying |
3397s | to use the Specter for |
3399s | its proper purpose |
3401s | they're essentially just fancy looking |
3403s | coins at that point you just gotta |
3405s | yeah I just gotta think of the best |
3410s | sister says in trouble here though like |
3412s | you suggested yeah he is strong Tarik |
3416s | but I don't think it's gonna be enough |
3418s | here because he also didn't snipe any of |
3421s | the mama bears or crockless on our |
3423s | timer's side |
3426s | yeah building Tarik seems really |
3428s | difficult as we see Burger King |
3429s | exploding there people are gonna start |
3432s | dying yeah I was kind of thinking the |
3435s | evil twin pick might be hard to play |
3437s | around and yeah his build was just |
3440s | Medina and a few dragons so not the best |
3442s | use case of wow oh |
3449s | HP to uh |
3452s | ghosts are just getting there over and |
3454s | over again and an entertainment goes out |
3456s | in equal seventh |
3458s | ugh |
3460s | I think it was because of the gas card |
3461s | didn't die um the first time it hit and |
3464s | then uh the apartment user managed to |
3467s | die |
3470s | well we have sleepy here |
3472s | yeah you went for the team master and |
3475s | the further ended up being pretty |
3476s | valuable because of his ability to find |
3479s | the teammaster but funny enough too he |
3480s | also just doesn't have his quest done |
3482s | until right now he's finally gonna get |
3485s | the victim specter |
3487s | he's still just got the same two minions |
3489s | he had four turns ago that's it |
3493s | uh it's it's not too weak though |
3497s | um the third part is such a good unit |
3499s | but yeah I'm not so sure this will be |
3502s | able to beat |
3503s | um penguin sun and we saw had a I'd say |
3506s | a little more consistent of a game plan |
3507s | in terms of accumulating stats and |
3509s | putting them on strong units yeah |
3513s | um |
3515s | yeah it'd be nice to see what uh |
3518s | Collins is doing too |
3521s | just for my uh my pick on the timer |
3524s | buddy okay thank you TJ let's have a |
3527s | look okay the thing |
3529s | yeah this is incredible actually this is |
3532s | what I was talking about earlier where I |
3534s | said Varden might be able to easily make |
3536s | triples on like Baron River Darren |
3538s | goodies like this yeah it has a |
3540s | full-fledged uh macaw gold should build |
3542s | right now |
3545s | and this is just so strong like he has a |
3548s | golden copy of a baron of tier 5 Min and |
3551s | a six drop |
3554s | anyway he loses if Baron gets one up the |
3556s | only way but one of the ways to lose his |
3558s | Baron getting sniped otherwise he's in a |
3559s | good spot no taunt to speak of of course |
3563s | you could have played a tall with the |
3564s | lieutenant Garb but opted not to |
3567s | well it did get sniped and he's still |
3569s | looking in a great spot so they yeah |
3571s | like all he needed was one hit him in |
3574s | the car so I think if you can find the |
3577s | annoying Master for the |
3578s | um |
3579s | for the amalgam it should be in a very |
3582s | very dominant spot since he won't be |
3584s | able to guess his bearing Snipes |
3587s | and he has a lot of ways to improve too |
3589s | you can play improve with hydros or |
3591s | reborn beasts on the car or The Cauldron |
3595s | you'd be going out there to the the |
3598s | denethius the penguin Suns you know |
3600s | crazy Elemental build that's just |
3602s | doubling down all the way through with |
3603s | the animal bribe |
3605s | yeah |
3606s | and |
3608s | yeah I'm curious to see who will come |
3610s | out on top here I'd say that uh shirosa |
3614s | and East Leaf are probably you know |
3616s | happy for the third and fourth if they |
3619s | even if they just die this turn and the |
3622s | penguinsan Collins are able to maybe go |
3624s | for a first |
3625s | what do you think that's the um yeah |
3627s | come on top if you guys have made the |
3630s | decision very early with this Vino to |
3632s | come forth I know that's like |
3634s | exaggerating the point somewhat but you |
3636s | know what I mean we talked about it at |
3638s | the time it's like well probably don't |
3639s | win the lobby with this I'm just going |
3640s | to have some good stuff |
3642s | set a nice Target get myself a fourth |
3644s | place with a hero that's not really |
3647s | doing what I wanted to this time around |
3648s | and move on to another Lobby |
3651s | with my chances intact without anything |
3653s | being ruined |
3654s | yeah I think they can't feel bad about |
3656s | that at all |
3658s | um |
3659s | I get dragons at this moment in time are |
3662s | incredibly powerful so getting a top |
3665s | four that I think is you know something |
3667s | to be proud of |
3669s | okay well East leaf on the mech so I |
3673s | tend to always underwrite the chance to |
3675s | mix because obviously having a 37-35 |
3677s | come back to life two or three times |
3679s | adds up damage quick but this doesn't at |
3682s | first glance look to be |
3684s | I guess it doesn't look too big enough |
3685s | but here's them against chirosa so he |
3687s | probably is actually big enough here |
3688s | yeah I think there is some danger of the |
3692s | initial deflector Shields getting |
3693s | snapped by the red welp and if that |
3695s | happens and and deflector dies early |
3697s | without getting reset it may be |
3701s | um stresses win but I think here |
3703s | eastleigh is probably favored but not |
3707s | not quite managing to snipe the |
3709s | deflector Shield so we'll only get one |
3711s | reset here on the first one but not |
3713s | guaranteed to get one second so might as |
3715s | well in a moment of two we should |
3717s | probably have a babob's blessing as |
3718s | we're getting towards the end so get |
3720s | ready with the extension if you're |
3721s | watching on Twitch uh select one of the |
3723s | two players you see in the in the jewel |
3726s | box and pick the winner won't |
3729s | necessarily be the winner of the lobby |
3730s | just the winner of the fight between |
3731s | those two people and if it's a tie |
3733s | everybody wins because yeah we like |
3736s | everybody to win |
3738s | it's going to be a tire a loss here for |
3740s | East Leaf but managed to luckily got the |
3743s | tie and oh my God |
3747s | I think |
3749s | Colin was 25 life and now he's gone |
3752s | Colin's absolutely destroying people |
3756s | here |
3758s | yeah wow |
3761s | I think I strongly believe Collins will |
3763s | take this then because the spell is just |
3766s | so explosive |
3767s | um he has to have one of his important |
3770s | and it's nights early in order to have a |
3772s | chance of losing and I think none of |
3774s | them really have the chance to do that |
3776s | without a cleave or without zap to snipe |
3778s | Baron |
3780s | got the barrels busting here |
3782s | I'm picking Collins you can pick who you |
3785s | like yeah I'm gonna wait a little bit to |
3787s | see but I mean I think Collins is |
3790s | it's like very very hard for it not to |
3792s | be Collins and he even found the Hydra |
3795s | too oh wow it's gonna easily replace the |
3798s | mama bear on board |
3800s | you see this is why Lee's Highwayman I'm |
3802s | not every little party system well I've |
3803s | got 45 seconds I don't have to pick yeah |
3805s | I'm gonna wait and see what's going on |
3807s | yeah every percentage point you can get |
3811s | yeah that's part of the the mentality of |
3814s | just trying to use every little bit of |
3815s | what you got |
3819s | Colin's got so much crazy stuff going on |
3821s | now he doesn't even know what to do |
3822s | about it |
3823s | yeah there's just so much I I'm unsure |
3827s | if he'll actually want the golden gold |
3828s | Trend but I think it's it's not bad like |
3831s | it could replace the uh Mama Bear if he |
3834s | ends up tripling it |
3835s | I mean these leaves just out of options |
3837s | here right so just yeah no goal nothing |
3840s | to buff |
3842s | you have to replace the teammaster than |
3845s | the macro |
3846s | Lee's just picking Collins as I speak |
3849s | with one second ago there we go |
3854s | um and then |
3856s | yeah we'll see we'll see how this fight |
3857s | goes but these numbers are gonna get |
3859s | very big very fast |
3862s | yeah obviously even the girls only can |
3864s | die |
3868s | yeah like the Shields and their friends |
3870s | backing them up that's the end of that |
3872s | like look at these numbers a 100 tag |
3874s | Hydra |
3876s | and a text |
3883s | this this beats everything even murlocs |
3886s | I don't know murlocs aren't in this way |
3888s | but this this would beat murlocs as well |
3889s | I was going to make the point there's no |
3890s | murlocs in this lobby but yeah this |
3893s | could do it because of the |
3895s | um inclusion of the hydras |
3898s | but it'd still be I think it could be a |
3900s | little a little more competitive at |
3901s | least the murlocs since they'd be able |
3903s | to trade one for one at the at the very |
3905s | least potentially more |
3907s | but yeah it looks like |
3909s | basically the same fit was uh the same |
3911s | fate was met by East Leaf as Penguins on |
3914s | taking 25 |
3917s | all those beasts Staying Alive |
3919s | yeah and you did make the point early on |
3921s | that you know with this strategy I was |
3924s | saying it's the top four sort of |
3925s | guaranteed safe strategy all that you |
3928s | did make the point that this can go |
3929s | further it's not gonna go any further |
3931s | now like this isn't taking down to 100 |
3933s | 100 hydras no matter how he tries but |
3935s | second place with this fantastic yeah |
3938s | and this is one of those um decision |
3941s | points that is like you know it wasn't |
3943s | too |
3944s | complex of one to decide if you're a |
3947s | power of the another Drake early on but |
3948s | you know it's one that has paid off for |
3951s | shirosa very heavily here |
3954s | if um you decide to be a little more |
3956s | greedy with a better hero power Target |
3958s | maybe he would have ended up like six or |
3960s | seven to even |
3961s | but here he is with the second place |
3963s | yeah |
3964s | absolutely |
3967s | and yeah there's just no chance like |
3970s | after the Macaw Hits and The Golden dies |
3973s | and the second Makai hits again they're |
3975s | all 100 hundreds like not the beasts are |
3978s | gonna die he's trying to double breathe |
3982s | on the Batman right |
3984s | oh yeah that's a that's a good spot |
3987s | there |
3988s | um if he does manage to hit either macaw |
3991s | or Baron twice he may be a competitive |
3994s | here but I think because double malibare |
3996s | was on the side of Collins it may |
3999s | require two well pits to kill a single |
4002s | macaw |
4003s | from what I remember yeah I think he's |
4005s | in trouble I just I was just trying to |
4006s | sort of highlight what he's trying to do |
4008s | because he doesn't know exactly what the |
4009s | build is so yeah |
4015s | Collins did end up getting the second |
4017s | cauldron off of the warden hero power |
4019s | copying the first two in shop |
4024s | ouch yeah I think the most impressive |
4026s | part about this Victory is that this is |
4029s | like you know a board you would normally |
4030s | see and this meta was stolen gold but |
4034s | cons doesn't even have stone gold he has |
4036s | um tiny henchmen like he did all this by |
4039s | himself he got on all these important |
4041s | units manually |
4044s | freaking start for Collins I think a |
4046s | very popular player we've got a lot of |
4048s | popular players in this tournament |
4049s | actually a lot of repeat performers a |
4051s | lot of streamers uh so everyone will |
4054s | have their favorites but it's good to |
4055s | see Collins who we haven't seen a huge |
4057s | amount of he's been involved in lobby |
4059s | Legends every single month we haven't |
4061s | seen a huge amount of him since the |
4064s | start of Lobby Legends we really saw him |
4065s | in the global Invitational was where he |
4068s | took off sort of carrying the America's |
4070s | team or he didn't carry the Murphy's |
4072s | team being a big part of the the winning |
4073s | America's team last time around |
4075s | yeah and one thing to know is I actually |
4078s | did play with cons in a tournament |
4080s | recently that may that wasn't a lot of |
4083s | Legends tournament it was Tyson's Tavern |
4085s | um |
4086s | brawl in yeah yesterday I'm actually |
4088s | with um for touchcon and I think he |
4091s | ended up getting at the second or third |
4092s | in that tournament so just always |
4094s | putting up consistent results |
4096s | um |
4097s | in lobby Legends and outside |
4100s | yeah Collins has always had a very |
4102s | methodical approach to First Arena and |
4106s | now uh Battlegrounds uh teams up a lot |
4109s | with with Shady bunny to discuss various |
4112s | strategies and stuff which is a really |
4113s | good pairing because |
4115s | uh Shady has always been an incredibly |
4118s | sort of aggressive minded person in most |
4121s | of the games he does but also is a very |
4123s | steady methodical way of learning things |
4125s | and Collins has always been |
4128s | more defensive minded oddly because I |
4130s | think he is in Battlegrounds but also |
4131s | has a slightly more outrageous way of |
4133s | learning things that that combination |
4134s | when they get together are deadly at |
4136s | learning meta games I really enjoy |
4138s | watching both of them together |
4140s | yeah I agree with that I think in a game |
4143s | like Battlegrounds where there can be |
4145s | many different play Styles it's good to |
4147s | learn from people who are different from |
4149s | you |
4151s | yes absolutely yeah I sort of used to |
4153s | learn a loop from shady I still do learn |
4154s | from Shady Houston a little bit from me |
4156s | but no these days he just teaches me |
4158s | anything |
4159s | um yeah and we had very different play |
4161s | stars I was very much like Collins back |
4163s | in the day a much worse version of him |
4165s | but same style but yeah that's the first |
4167s | game of the day in the books five more |
4171s | are still to come but Collins is leading |
4173s | the way and if you're going to see if he |
4175s | continues to do that |
4176s | um I just realized I picked you picked |
4178s | Collins in your bandwagon I did |
4180s | if he continues to lead the way with |
4182s | your bandwagon picks in game two in just |
4185s | a few moments |

4385s | welcome back everybody to Lobby Legends |
4388s | castle northria and game number one is |
4391s | in the books game number one with the |
4392s | tavern buddy in the books I will shut up |
4394s | about it at some point but as it's new |
4395s | we're excited to try it out and if you |
4398s | want to see how you're doing just click |
4399s | on the bottom to activate the |
4401s | leaderboard panel just below the stream |
4403s | if you're on Twitch and you'll see how |
4405s | you're doing on the high score chart at |
4406s | some point but Lee predicted after two |
4409s | turns that Collins was going to win that |
4411s | game what what did you like about |
4413s | Colin's position after two turns so much |
4415s | with Varden |
4417s | um obviously there's not too much to go |
4419s | off of |
4420s | um but I do think that Varden is a very |
4422s | strong hero especially in those Mech |
4425s | Beast lobbies because you can copy such |
4427s | such important pieces to make the camp |
4429s | very potent and I think that's exactly |
4431s | what happened in that game Khan's ticked |
4434s | picked tiny hatchman to give him enough |
4437s | strength to level the six and then from |
4439s | there he found golden Baron and golden |
4442s | macaw that combination just makes |
4443s | incredibly strong |
4446s | to win a Lobby and here we go with a |
4449s | fantasy team picks some Shenanigans |
4452s | going on here maybe but this is what the |
4454s | chats have picked |
4455s | um despite me plugging sleepy as hard as |
4458s | I could Collins did Edge out in the |
4460s | fantasy picks |
4462s | um in fact your team's basically been |
4464s | the top three picks people are listening |
4466s | to I know Aloo Timo people yeah |
4469s | back up to mess up yours |
4471s | um obviously the players we see a little |
4473s | bit less of eastleaf in particular a |
4476s | little lower down the list but that's to |
4477s | be expected as people will pick the the |
4479s | people they like as well as the strong |
4481s | players but do not underestimate |
4484s | um the Chinese players in this one |
4486s | they're putting up pretty good |
4487s | performances in lobby Legends so far |
4494s | okay so |
4495s | um talking of the Chinese place you |
4497s | you've obviously tried to qualify for |
4499s | this you will qualify for this at some |
4500s | point |
4502s | um |
4503s | is it |
4504s | something that you've got to be aware of |
4506s | playing from players from different |
4507s | regions especially ones that aren't so |
4509s | connected with with the regular regions |
4511s | we're used to |
4512s | um here on Twitch so the Chinese players |
4514s | in particular coming for a totally |
4516s | different matter |
4519s | um yeah I think it's something I haven't |
4520s | looked at for a particular yet because I |
4523s | haven't had to play against Chinese |
4524s | players but when I do |
4527s | um I will probably look at tournaments |
4528s | like these ones to see if I notice any |
4531s | differences in their playstyle and also |
4533s | they have |
4534s | um vars as well of their qualifying |
4536s | tournament which is separate from |
4538s | everyone else's and yeah like it is |
4541s | important to notice different playstyles |
4544s | of different regions |
4546s | um I've already kind of noticed that at |
4548s | least with some of the Asian players in |
4550s | the |
4551s | um the qualifiers that I played in |
4554s | there's a selection of Heroes yeah |
4556s | Colin's face is the same as my face what |
4559s | on Earth do you pick here |
4562s | um I'd say rakara is actually not bad at |
4564s | all with Max in it's very easy to make a |
4568s | lot of high-tech minions and there are |
4570s | mechs available to Collins in this lobby |
4573s | but you could also I'd really like to |
4576s | see a c'thun pick at some point with |
4577s | dragons in and getting |
4580s | um the mass Quest reward which doubles |
4581s | end of turn effect |
4583s | is if you don't get the mask rewards |
4586s | you're in so much trouble right yeah I |
4588s | don't think that's a risk anyone wants |
4590s | to particularly take for this day one |
4592s | but could maybe see it if the hero |
4595s | choices are |
4596s | not strong enough yeah especially as |
4598s | Collins won the first Lobby the first |
4601s | game of this Lobby so it's just just not |
4604s | coming last is you know kind of a |
4605s | priority it's not kind of particularly |
4607s | his style but you know with with the |
4610s | seven points already he's not going to |
4611s | want to take a risk on the c'thune maybe |
4614s | if he was in last place he would have |
4615s | gone for it |
4616s | yeah I think with the game one already |
4619s | finished up |
4621s | um people are going to look at their |
4622s | placement for that one and play it |
4624s | differently according on what they got |
4625s | so you know Colin's getting the first |
4627s | place he'll definitely want to play it |
4629s | safer and not go for the more risky |
4632s | strategies So Max on her car seems like |
4634s | a perfect plan |
4636s | reminder once again to get in your |
4639s | bandwagon picks during |
4641s | this area of the game |
4643s | um I will be reminding you through the |
4645s | day and yeah I'll remind you less and |
4647s | less as we go through but as it's new |
4649s | and we're excited |
4651s | thank you to the people who put that |
4653s | together for us |
4654s | allowing people to play along at home |
4657s | yeah and I've actually gone ahead and |
4659s | picked our TAMU for my Bannon pick on |
4662s | turn two uh personally because I like |
4664s | bear have a lot and I see he has the |
4668s | Dragon Star which you know not |
4671s | particularly strong in the current meta |
4674s | game but I think the dragon minion type |
4676s | can you know |
4678s | potentially get there early on and give |
4681s | him time to play a different strategy |
4683s | that can win I've got for turn one East |
4685s | Leaf um putting my my fantasy points |
4688s | where my mouth is my very large mouth |
4691s | when I was saying that you know watch |
4692s | out for the players we don't know much |
4694s | about so |
4695s | see how that goes for me |
4698s | going on the field as opposed to |
4699s | obviously Lee going on Common Sense and |
4701s | accuracy yeah |
4704s | that's what the cookie is quite a strong |
4706s | pick here as well uh one here I also do |
4709s | want to point out is penguin sun has the |
4711s | vol'jin in a lobby with crowbar and Naga |
4714s | so there's quite a few interactions that |
4717s | can be taken advantage of there the |
4720s | first being spell craft stats can be |
4722s | made permanent if you swap a minion with |
4725s | a minion as spellcraft basically you'll |
4727s | get those stats for free it won't return |
4730s | to normal stats at the end of turn and |
4732s | then with cool boards if you hear a |
4734s | power a minion with a lot of blood gems |
4736s | you can necrolite it and those stats |
4739s | will also not disappear |
4741s | yeah |
4742s | um the swapping stuff around is really |
4746s | hard to get used to but those |
4748s | interactions you absolutely must know |
4750s | when you're playing virgin you can get |
4751s | some very big stuff very quickly |
4753s | particularly with the um the ground |
4755s | Shaker interaction as well it's like |
4757s | okay that's just huge |
4759s | um you say bow off is obviously a good |
4762s | hero I used to love bow off but since |
4764s | Quest came in has it become harder am I |
4766s | just bad |
4768s | um I'd say it might even be easier |
4770s | because you can get more minions online |
4773s | earlier with coins to spend money on and |
4775s | you can also add cards to hand both of |
4777s | which are Quest requirements |
4780s | I'm saying yeah that makes sense |
4782s | yeah here we see oh very quick pick |
4786s | um did you catch what that was it was |
4788s | the spend 45 gold but I didn't see what |
4790s | it was for |
4792s | eign |
4796s | these are pretty difficult requirements |
4798s | Play Seven murlocanaga at 20 cards and |
4801s | play five Battle Cry minions |
4803s | don't say they're particularly Strong |
4806s | place seven murlocs with a mirror Shield |
4808s | maybe a thing that has some synergy |
4811s | yeah I could see that one but I think |
4813s | penguinsan may be more |
4816s | um incentivized to try to play |
4818s | different tribes than murlocs but nagas |
4822s | are natural though because the spell |
4823s | crafts do provide a lot of tempo really |
4825s | he has to go for battle cries for stone |
4828s | gold with no battle cross on shop |
4830s | interestingly enough |
4832s | but the song Gold has a lot of potential |
4837s | this one so by 10 minutes is quite easy |
4840s | on Milhouse so it does offer that one |
4842s | and yeah it's one of those things where |
4844s | I think some of the players will pick |
4846s | quests just based off how easy they are |
4848s | to do and not off of their late game |
4851s | potential like tiny henchmen will fall |
4853s | off later it's just nine on a stats to |
4856s | turn but you know it can also help you |
4858s | make plays like level greedy for greedy |
4863s | um strategies |
4864s | yeah we may see more of the greedy |
4866s | strategies again tomorrow when with the |
4868s | check format when winning the lobbies |
4870s | becomes so important um again you were |
4872s | saying that prize money May dictate |
4873s | otherwise but we will see |
4875s | how that works out tomorrow but for now |
4877s | getting that top four relentlessly is |
4880s | very important so we will see players |
4883s | largely trying not to come last at least |
4886s | in the first couple of games then |
4887s | they'll see where they are and we might |
4888s | see some people have to gamble later on |
4891s | yeah and I see |
4892s | um sister say end up going for a three |
4895s | drop with his road warrior which I like |
4897s | a lot because you know two four minions |
4900s | are kind of easier to kill in one hit |
4902s | but a 4 8 minion is very hard to so it's |
4905s | always going to get value and I think |
4906s | his quest requirement let's add cards to |
4908s | hand too so he's going to be making some |
4910s | good progress on that |
4913s | so Collins has 25 minions die for |
4919s | um Tony henchman |
4921s | I believe |
4924s | and he did decide to go on tier three on |
4927s | turn three looks like |
4928s | but not the worst board but you'd really |
4931s | like to have a gem generator for his uh |
4935s | bristleback Brewing sorry Collins has |
4937s | got some completely different that's |
4939s | entirely on me um he's just got to play |
4940s | Three Dragons or quill ball and he's got |
4943s | the power saw yeah yeah I like to pick |
4946s | up this patch Mark too then you can |
4947s | stealth it and generate spell crafts for |
4950s | um strength later on |
4953s | it seems like Collins is |
4955s | really happy that his quest activated I |
4958s | mean Colin's laughs about everything all |
4962s | the time he's got one of those |
4963s | infectious laughs that yeah is |
4966s | Relentless so I think he's happy but I |
4968s | think he laughs when things going badly |
4970s | as well but I do agree that |
4972s | getting your quest done on turn five and |
4974s | having a 4 to 13 passenger seems like a |
4976s | pretty good spot to be in to be fair |
4979s | yeah and uh like like he said to |
4983s | um |
4984s | this Quest is just a |
4986s | gift style to a minion given HP and I |
4990s | think you can also really capitalize on |
4992s | the health it gives to with the amount |
4994s | of attack he's generating passively |
4995s | through his hero power you can kind of |
4997s | balance both stats |
5001s | all right let's have a look at eastleaf |
5003s | on cookie |
5004s | how much he's going to get himself a |
5007s | potential five drop potential six drop |
5011s | decision time I guess on cookie you |
5012s | don't mind leveling so much |
5014s | yeah |
5016s | I think with this phrase is probably |
5018s | thinking about going for a six drop he |
5019s | can't sell off his |
5021s | um shell collector and maybe his arm or |
5023s | spawn |
5025s | um and this Lobby |
5028s | I feel like six would be a pretty good |
5030s | way to go about it |
5031s | um the Menace on board is not bad to buy |
5034s | at all as well |
5035s | let's see what his quest reward is |
5038s | seems to be |
5042s | Ben 40 gold for victim Specter so he |
5045s | would really actually like a six drop to |
5047s | be able to maybe double it with uh |
5049s | victim specter |
5051s | yeah that snowball's pretty fast |
5054s | um |
5054s | with sixes it's really weird I'm so used |
5057s | to not looking at sixes not not looking |
5059s | at them but just just playing on four or |
5061s | five a lot of the time but |
5063s | you can get those sixes to win that |
5064s | Lobby yeah and we meet some points on my |
5067s | bandwagon |
5069s | yeah |
5071s | the sport is pretty strong too for this |
5073s | turn time |
5075s | um I think there's Stealth cavalries |
5076s | have probably been under side effect and |
5079s | they're just so beefy it's hard for any |
5082s | minutes to shoot through 10 HP with |
5084s | those stats |
5085s | but it seems like |
5088s | um so that Nas is having a good one with |
5090s | that too sharosa with his henchman |
5092s | online with two wealth Smugglers to buff |
5095s | up the glyph Guardian board it means |
5097s | he's a very very competitive on stats as |
5099s | well I really like the snail Cavalry |
5101s | design overall |
5103s | um just as an aside I think that it's so |
5106s | huge for like three turns and it gets |
5108s | out started so quickly into just a |
5111s | rubbish minion I really like that you've |
5113s | really got to use it sort of sparingly |
5115s | and at the right times which is what |
5117s | he's doing now |
5118s | yeah it's one of those things that you |
5120s | kind of |
5121s | um if you can't triple it you know you |
5123s | usually replace it pretty quickly as |
5125s | well so it's nothing too impressive |
5127s | where it's good early good middle and |
5129s | good late game like yeah it's only good |
5131s | in the early game |
5135s | but yeah |
5136s | he lost his last fight so he challenged |
5139s | a blue shell but murdersome might just |
5140s | be better |
5141s | yeah I think he also lost his bet too so |
5144s | he didn't get three Golds and he wasn't |
5146s | able to go for a sixth drop |
5148s | not in the best spot but |
5151s | it also has a little bit of um potential |
5155s | with the agum and finding gems there |
5157s | but it seems like he has a very hard |
5159s | questing to play he's only two out of |
5161s | nine |
5163s | um play nine Battle Cry minions for a |
5166s | mask for chaga |
5167s | yeah I mean I think he probably just |
5170s | needs to focus on that as well and the |
5173s | nice thing is that his board at the |
5175s | moment does kind of facilitate buying |
5177s | battle criminals you can buy Battle Cry |
5179s | gem generators and get strong with that |
5182s | also working towards that strategy |
5184s | but I'm really concerned if he can live |
5187s | long enough for that Quest this um |
5189s | doesn't seem to be that good of a spot |
5191s | for him yeah and with his bad result in |
5193s | the first game like my option here would |
5196s | sometimes be well just get to fifth |
5198s | sixth place and get out of there like |
5199s | just give up on the quest buy all the |
5201s | things with big numbers on them and I |
5202s | hope it all goes away |
5205s | um but he hasn't even got that option |
5207s | really because another fifth or six just |
5209s | isn't really going for it so yeah he has |
5212s | got to try and get that done I think if |
5213s | he's going to come anywhere in this |
5214s | Lobby yeah I like to see him maybe take |
5217s | a little bit of risk this game just to |
5219s | try to get there like you said if he |
5221s | just goes for a um like not last |
5224s | placement I don't think it's gonna be |
5226s | enough |
5228s | if you're gonna take a risk at any point |
5229s | this is probably the time yeah makes |
5231s | sense and he he's a very good |
5234s | he knows exactly you want to take risks |
5236s | when not to with his constructive place |
5238s | so he'll be very aware looks like he's |
5240s | lost but didn't die here yeah is that 9 |
5243s | HP I'm very concerned and he was the the |
5246s | player I chose my uh prediction on oh no |
5250s | too late to change it now yeah |
5256s | special toys |
5258s | yeah I'm curious to see how much he has |
5261s | left because he skipped a Subic and |
5263s | relaxer which would have been quite |
5264s | valuable to give him more stats this |
5267s | turn but if he's close to completing the |
5269s | quest maybe all he needs to do is spend |
5272s | all of his money on Battle crys right |
5274s | now and get this Charlie |
5276s | don't think he's used on five okay I |
5280s | think he can't potentially get it done |
5282s | if he rolls a Battle Cry in this next |
5284s | shot he does |
5287s | does but is he going to be able to will |
5289s | a child to keep him alive the plus one |
5292s | yeah maybe the murloc kills two things |
5296s | it is gonna be a huge power Specter |
5298s | right here |
5300s | um and he only has one Avatar effect |
5302s | right now but he may decide to keep this |
5304s | another Drake to have a second one |
5308s | also running out of time here |
5312s | yeah I think he probably has to sell off |
5314s | the |
5315s | murloc here or the dragon the nether |
5318s | Drake I would have personally like to |
5320s | see it but he's also just running out of |
5321s | time to think about it more |
5324s | all right well it's just key can he stay |
5325s | alive because he's in an okay position |
5327s | if he can live |
5329s | yeah |
5330s | um |
5331s | oh all right oh is it but the evil twin |
5334s | though the evil twin is a huge power |
5336s | Spike here |
5338s | but um the rest of the Minions on |
5341s | um Roga jeans board aren't too scary |
5344s | maybe he can dietrate enough on the rest |
5347s | of this board but I think okay blues and |
5351s | live is his option yeah as well he lost |
5354s | the coin slip to Thai but he's still |
5356s | alive he's alive that's all that matters |
5358s | yeah he has very high potential now |
5361s | but I'm still very concerned because he |
5364s | is the only player that can die in the |
5366s | next turn |
5367s | being the only one at less than 15 |
5369s | health |
5370s | did she say |
5372s | one of those boards that we saw a lot in |
5375s | particular last Lobby Legends when it |
5377s | was um new just get some stuff make it |
5380s | work one way or another obviously |
5381s | there's a theme here there's cool boards |
5383s | going on but basically it's just some |
5385s | cards for now |
5386s | yeah I like the um ability for him to |
5390s | transfer the stats onto mechs because he |
5391s | does have this Omega Buster on his board |
5394s | and he's built a lot of stats into these |
5397s | cold Wars that won't go to waste if he |
5399s | installs them |
5400s | but |
5401s | I think it's going to be a multi-step |
5403s | process like you have to transition at |
5405s | them pretty slowly he may even just opt |
5407s | to continue to go for cobras |
5410s | he's just sitting there with a kangos |
5413s | and then I'm gonna get Buster and still |
5414s | probably yeah that's quite amusing to me |
5416s | I think I think the transition will |
5419s | happen if he has time but I'm not so |
5422s | convinced he he will have the time I |
5424s | think um I guess our temer he may even |
5427s | lose here because our team is now so |
5430s | strong with his Charlie and his agum |
5432s | setup |
5434s | uh one also just didn't know is he |
5437s | picked up this tunnel Blaster too so I |
5439s | think you touched a little bit on Mech |
5441s | Exodia earlier but he already has quite |
5444s | a few of those pieces he just needs a |
5445s | baron and another Buster and another |
5448s | kangars to complete that |
5451s | yeah I mentioned I still use Exodia to |
5453s | mean Pilots but I was corrected by you |
5455s | and subtle behind the scenes the Exodia |
5458s | now really being used for mechs a lot |
5460s | more |
5461s | yeah I'd say I see that a lot more |
5464s | um usually in tournaments and ladder |
5467s | mm-hmm |
5468s | oh this is a lot of damage coming in |
5472s | here though for penguin if he doesn't |
5473s | get enough hit some of these poisons |
5475s | yeah I like the the use of the stolen |
5479s | gold to make um was it grispark golden |
5481s | on Penguins on side that's the thing |
5484s | we've seen too after lately because |
5486s | grease but got changed but yeah it's |
5489s | just funny to see uh the grease but on |
5490s | board |
5496s | and now on Easter side hmm |
5500s | he is playing the team Master comp which |
5502s | I was rooting for here |
5504s | um |
5506s | but the Minions that he's buffing up |
5508s | aren't the best I'd say like he has no |
5511s | deflector |
5512s | um he has no Divine Shield any of his |
5513s | minions yet |
5514s | but he does have a lot of feel for those |
5517s | cards right now he has like |
5519s | two initial cards and he's getting this |
5521s | Golden Monkey |
5523s | how do you feel about Elise by the way |
5526s | um I suspect I underwrite her massively |
5529s | when you when you add up sort of how |
5531s | much it costs just to get a golden you |
5533s | wouldn't buy three |
5535s | I know sparring partners in a shop to |
5537s | get a golden and that's what a lease |
5539s | costs but obviously you can do it over |
5541s | time but personally I don't like her as |
5544s | much as I should |
5545s | yeah I'd say it's something |
5548s | I don't like as much either but |
5550s | specifically with these Team master |
5551s | builds |
5553s | um it's incredibly valuable to get the |
5555s | golden monkey like twice because you get |
5558s | that first initial manual called monkey |
5560s | and then you can discover another |
5561s | initial minion which is the useful |
5563s | minion in this case like if he managed |
5566s | to get a t-master I'd actually |
5568s | probably put him as a good favorite to |
5570s | top three here |
5574s | very hard build to to get to work at |
5579s | yeah a casual level I guess |
5582s | I'm looking sleepy here |
5584s | um I'm guessing I'll probably see the |
5587s | tunnel bastard being played right now |
5589s | so at this point |
5591s | um ladybosh tends to have a lot of |
5593s | divine shields on her board |
5597s | there you go absolutely yeah |
5601s | as well |
5603s | yeah not too big it's been slowly |
5605s | scaling up I think with the grease spot |
5607s | uh but there's certainly potential there |
5610s | this um glyph garden with Winfrey may |
5612s | even snipe out the uh snow cap right |
5615s | here |
5617s | okay anybody needs to take down yes |
5619s | takes it down Heap is what I was gonna |
5621s | say yeah vanished from the screen uh if |
5625s | there's an unlucky hit him he might die |
5626s | but you know sleepy will stay alive for |
5629s | another turn |
5631s | and I think um this is where we're |
5633s | talking about earlier about victim |
5634s | Specter where it's not too consistent I |
5636s | think |
5637s | Eastlake just got a microbot into his |
5639s | hand |
5640s | I couldn't stabilize look at that board |
5642s | he did a lot of work very quickly to get |
5645s | that board into a decent sized board |
5647s | turn 10 eighth place and that's one of |
5651s | those where you you post in your Discord |
5653s | with your friends like this is eighth |
5654s | place really like look at his board he |
5656s | has decent stats out there but the |
5659s | damage he took early on getting there |
5661s | was the big problem not winning enough |
5662s | Bets with the bow off and yeah eighth |
5665s | place for Alabama again yeah and it's |
5667s | always scary to play against |
5669s | um a lot of Minion types of divine |
5671s | Shields because you may have a lot of |
5673s | raw stats but if you play against |
5675s | deflect those that reset like two or |
5678s | three times |
5679s | um you know it doesn't really add up as |
5680s | well and as you saw an Altima's board he |
5683s | did have a lot of scaling minions with |
5685s | Charlie and with life thing but they |
5688s | just weren't on good enough minions |
5690s | Collins is an interesting spot here |
5692s | actually it's a great spot from TJ |
5693s | against this ghost because alicino is |
5695s | pretty large |
5697s | Collins wants to put as many of these |
5699s | blood gems on something you know on |
5700s | ideally on the deflectors I would guess |
5702s | to be more permanent |
5703s | but also can't take it too lightly so |
5706s | he's got a balance where to put those |
5708s | for this turn |
5709s | yeah I think the decision planet does |
5712s | become easier when you know you get |
5715s | almost the forehand of gems at the end |
5717s | of your turn now in this case I think if |
5720s | uh Collins buys a sparring partner he's |
5723s | probably guaranteed six gems but it |
5725s | could be even more if one of the |
5726s | deflectors resets the other |
5728s | and then just wait for the |
5731s | switch the necro later on |
5733s | yeah that's usually the ground Shaker |
5735s | for now and just trust that you're gonna |
5736s | be able to switch them onto the Divine |
5738s | Shields yeah it's one of those things |
5740s | where you do really have to |
5743s | um spend resources to not lose against |
5745s | the ghosts because they can't be quite |
5748s | strong |
5749s | so Collins is going to invest |
5753s | a good amount but not all the gems so |
5755s | it'll get another six gems back most the |
5757s | time here |
5760s | he gave maximum respect here because if |
5763s | he loses this he's dead and you can see |
5765s | that if he didn't give his maximum |
5767s | respect he would have been in a bit of |
5768s | trouble huh yeah |
5770s | unfortunately um he did get one of his |
5772s | yeah both of his shields sniped on the |
5774s | terrigasa and the deflector I |
5779s | don't even know if he will be oh no not |
5781s | now to win a coin flip oh that's what |
5784s | you're talking about yeah and our team |
5787s | is ghost killing educator Collins that's |
5790s | really not something you want to see |
5792s | there yeah for both players right |
5794s | they're both going to be annoyed Colin's |
5796s | paid it maximum respect he gave them |
5798s | maximum Buffs there with the ground |
5800s | Shaker and still lost and I'll let you |
5802s | know we'll see that and be like well |
5804s | you know why did I have to die look how |
5806s | strong I would have been surviving one |
5807s | more turn I beat Collins as it was on |
5809s | maximum Buffs and I'd have been even |
5811s | stronger oh my at the same time too |
5814s | though you feel a little Vindicated when |
5815s | your ghost does kill someone you're like |
5817s | uh you know I just got a little unlucky |
5818s | playing against a stronger opponent but |
5821s | I wasn't really all that weak |
5823s | uh penguin Sun sport is extremely nasty |
5827s | double holy mackerel with the gray spot |
5830s | is a lot of strength and scaling |
5834s | um but it's gonna be hard to improve |
5836s | from the spot on without just you know |
5838s | going into combats and having the grease |
5840s | bar scale but the nice thing about this |
5843s | hero is you can just swap out Divine |
5845s | shields for new Divine Shields which um |
5847s | is exactly what penguin Sun's doing yeah |
5851s | numbers up there |
5853s | yeah |
5854s | it does have a favorite as well so I |
5857s | think at this point you can make a |
5859s | almost 30 attack |
5861s | he wants you can sell |
5864s | um |
5864s | the murloc poison if he wants to attach |
5867s | a |
5868s | module to his fighter or even his um |
5870s | holy macro if he wants |
5873s | yeah he um chose not to go for the Mega |
5876s | mackerel without thinking that you know |
5878s | 40 attack give or take is enough for the |
5880s | time being |
5881s | eight cents to me obviously to have two |
5883s | really good makeables than one big one |
5886s | yeah you could also |
5889s | um be willing to invest more than one if |
5891s | he thinks that the numbers aren't big |
5893s | enough but at this point in time it's |
5896s | probably honestly it just |
5897s | enough |
5900s | let's see where he puts his module |
5903s | yeah he's gonna go for the 30 attack |
5906s | trooper and then just the mechanic that |
5907s | he got from the Amazon |
5910s | and the sherosa he has a lot of HP on |
5914s | this um amalgam yes I don't know if it's |
5917s | going to be enough |
5919s | the first one you need to go first and |
5921s | then he needs the amalgam to kill |
5922s | something he needs to drag him to go |
5925s | into the right place well this might |
5926s | actually work out okay you know |
5929s | um I'm not scared because it's the fact |
5930s | that it's gonna get this uh |
5932s | I don't know |
5934s | I think this might be a a loss for uh |
5938s | chirosa here |
5939s | there's not that much left on uh |
5944s | it just looked like some of the numbers |
5945s | were going to work out there for a |
5946s | minute but I think you're right what you |
5948s | are right absolutely yeah yeah that's |
5950s | the issue with the team Master you know |
5951s | it's only buffing up three minutes at a |
5953s | time and you know so maybe she also had |
5956s | three or four good minions but um |
5959s | divulging or |
5961s | um |
5961s | penguin Sun sport is just you know full |
5964s | of |
5964s | you know full of good minions there's no |
5966s | there's no Slackers in that team |
5969s | it comes second last time though so not |
5971s | totally over for him yet |
5973s | as they say we haven't seen that much of |
5975s | today we've seen a little bit |
5977s | and again just got this board of things |
5980s | just Board of stuff |
5983s | I think it's pretty funny at the uh the |
5986s | kangars are still on board with the um |
5988s | the Buster when there's only two mechs |
5990s | on board but um he may still be looking |
5993s | to make that transition I mean |
5995s | here again I could just convert these |
5998s | cobras to Max but at this point |
6000s | I think he's pretty happy with |
6002s | um that corrupted Ramadan being so big |
6004s | and you know it's it doubles the stats |
6007s | at the start of combat too |
6009s | you know what else he's happy with he's |
6010s | happy he's still gonna hear a power left |
6012s | but also he's mostly happy that he's in |
6013s | the top five he's fighting a ghost and |
6015s | it's turned 13 which means that other |
6017s | people probably die this turn he's just |
6018s | gonna get like a top three not by |
6020s | default but yeah top three and get out |
6024s | yeah I mean we know that the volume is |
6027s | super strong but he's playing against |
6029s | someone has 15 HP I'm not sure if he'll |
6033s | be able to kill Roger Gene here he does |
6036s | have that evil twin uh making a very big |
6039s | annoying model here |
6041s | the rest of this board the rest of the |
6043s | board is strong too they're not slacking |
6044s | as well it has magic Queen and lero to |
6046s | put in if he wants but I imagine he'll |
6048s | only put one so you can get the evil |
6050s | twin proc here |
6053s | see what he does actually obviously I |
6055s | assume he's getting his twin Puck as |
6056s | well he'd like to have the queen out |
6057s | there so yeah sell something out that's |
6059s | good yeah he went for all the stats on |
6062s | the module to to double it |
6065s | yeah I think he'll be pretty competitive |
6067s | here as long as this Firebird doesn't |
6070s | yeah win Ferry value |
6072s | avenge me |
6074s | but whenever there's macros involved I |
6076s | feel like you could never be too sure |
6078s | how the combat will go |
6080s | no absolutely right but |
6082s | the leeway taking out the right thing as |
6084s | well |
6088s | oh nice one of the mackerels Dead |
6092s | this |
6094s | looks like it'll be a win but |
6098s | Bolton will stay alive |
6102s | I'm wondering if anyone will die here |
6104s | there's a chance that the um that East |
6106s | Leaf will lose and not kill someone but |
6108s | no it seems like sleepy has gone out |
6111s | yep sleepy |
6113s | limps up to fifth place really for a |
6115s | while there it looked even worse than |
6116s | that but now we've got Burger King again |
6118s | with a board that looks really hard to |
6122s | improve |
6124s | yeah I don't really know if there is a |
6127s | good way besides attaching a module to |
6129s | the amalgam |
6133s | the Battle of blessing time again yeah |
6136s | the extension choose who you think is |
6138s | going to win this fight |
6140s | oh |
6143s | I think it's going to be a robo Gene but |
6145s | I see Double T master and I immediately |
6147s | want to go in that direction |
6152s | picking Burger Gene this time I think |
6154s | just looked big enough with that evil |
6156s | twin for me yeah |
6158s | I think I will |
6161s | maybe even go for eastleigh fear because |
6163s | he's gonna have another poison minion |
6165s | yeah another poison dragon yeah with the |
6168s | nadina and another nadina here too I |
6171s | imagine that would be the pickup |
6173s | see this is why you wait until the last |
6174s | few seconds because I've changed my mind |
6177s | but it's too late I've locked in workers |
6179s | in here |
6180s | but it could again |
6183s | um still be anyone's |
6185s | here I think in these end games when you |
6188s | know players have really strong units |
6190s | like Medina and uh Leroy matted you know |
6194s | it's never too one-sided like if your |
6196s | appointment gets sniped without getting |
6198s | additional value it could just be a loss |
6201s | yeah it's gonna be all about |
6203s | um a lot of times just who goes first |
6205s | there's no taunt on East Leaf side so he |
6207s | is |
6208s | got a little bit of fate |
6210s | of going first getting those Divine |
6212s | Shields is important yeah I'm a little |
6215s | disappointed eastleaf didn't play this |
6216s | nadina to try to get a second round of |
6218s | divine Shields I think it'd be |
6220s | incredibly valuable to go |
6223s | with more strength here to try to |
6225s | eliminate the um |
6230s | yeah I did feel that maybe he needs to |
6232s | go to the second one just to be sure |
6233s | anyway because this is especially now |
6235s | he's running into the Divine Shield yeah |
6237s | yeah |
6240s | it's a bit of a shame |
6241s | um |
6242s | yeah now I think you sleep is even in |
6245s | range you may have been afraid of |
6246s | tripling the DNA with his victim Specter |
6249s | but I think if he positions then Dina's |
6251s | earlier it'd be less of a chance that it |
6253s | happened and oh here we see the infamous |
6257s | ping-pong on the neck rolls it could |
6260s | still be a tie though for uh |
6265s | yeah this is some classic thing that um |
6267s | volunteers do in late game |
6269s | they dump a bunch of stats onto Krypton |
6271s | Ramadan and he has a golden one uh |
6274s | nonetheless to make a lot of stats |
6278s | bill has a hero power available as well |
6280s | just laughing say just enjoys |
6281s | playing these tournaments I don't know |
6283s | how he I mean I enjoy playing a lot of |
6284s | houses I enjoy playing a lot of Lobby |
6286s | Legends but the highest level to have so |
6289s | much on the line and just constantly |
6291s | look like you're enjoying yourself it's |
6292s | a great skill to have |
6294s | yeah it really does give you an |
6296s | advantage I mean if you're constantly |
6298s | nervous and like you know just stressed |
6301s | out you're gonna do worse than someone |
6303s | who's just having fun and it's to say |
6304s | yeah you just always look like he has |
6306s | fun |
6307s | yeah and he's doing well because of it |
6309s | so I mean it's it's easy to have the |
6311s | other way around you know I have a lot |
6313s | of fun when I do well but to have fun |
6315s | before I do well that's that's a harder |
6317s | skill yeah he's working what he wants to |
6319s | do here with this I think he might |
6321s | go for this I think he might go for this |
6326s | um corrupting Ramadan to make it a |
6327s | little bit bigger |
6329s | um he opted to not keep his uh tunnel |
6332s | Blaster maybe because he thinks uh |
6334s | there's not too many devices on this |
6336s | side |
6337s | but I think from what we saw in Rogers |
6339s | inside he had a manta queen and a um and |
6343s | a LeRoy so the tunnel plus actually had |
6345s | been quite useful but I see this going |
6347s | for he's going for the um |
6350s | the triple on the equipment Ramadan |
6352s | but it may not work out for him as much |
6354s | as he wants to because Rogan's side is |
6356s | full of poison minions |
6358s | so yeah I think he might realize it's |
6361s | just one of those things where what's |
6362s | the thing I can do that might win me the |
6364s | thought not that's going to win me the |
6365s | fight and I think having a huge thing |
6369s | you're still gonna get through these two |
6370s | stupid |
6371s | um |
6374s | get through these modules like |
6377s | it's not that big on the other side |
6379s | um if it's marmaladas earlier it'd be |
6381s | able to deal with the very natural but |
6383s | now it's just going to run into a poison |
6385s | yeah the other way around again |
6387s | I think the other way around he might |
6389s | have a chance this way around I think |
6390s | he's probably not going to yeah but it's |
6393s | very understandable that this is the |
6395s | positioning he went for because usually |
6397s | if you put your biggest minion early on |
6399s | it can very easily get slapped by a |
6401s | poison or |
6403s | by uh Manta Queen like it could just run |
6405s | into the Manta queen that could get |
6407s | tight |
6409s | eastleaf did go with the double Medina |
6412s | this time around of course of |
6413s | desperation but it wasn't enough yeah |
6418s | like he maybe it would have been able to |
6420s | survive this fight if he had put Medina |
6422s | the turn before even if he lost he maybe |
6425s | could have lost a less life and survived |
6428s | so I think he had a sizeable left total |
6430s | going into that last round |
6434s | um but yeah now it's one of the heroes I |
6436s | talked about earlier vol'jin being very |
6439s | strong with the these insane Divine |
6441s | Shield minions in Ramadan but I think I |
6444s | would give the advantage to |
6448s | and that's on here because I don't think |
6450s | Roger Shane was really had that much |
6452s | stats he just had a lot of poisons which |
6453s | helped him beat his last opponent |
6456s | um he's got the double the evil twin |
6459s | minions right they're quite large |
6461s | oh yeah that's true |
6463s | um the Pendleton actually needs maybe a |
6465s | LeRoy then to go through that and then I |
6468s | think his macros basically clean up |
6469s | through everything else because they're |
6470s | all uh 37 life or less but yeah it's |
6474s | gonna be very difficult to get through |
6476s | this module |
6478s | yeah once again that positioning you |
6480s | talked about before just getting the |
6481s | module out there getting its damage done |
6483s | while it can and |
6486s | um that's not a thing you're expecting |
6487s | from the other side necessarily right |
6489s | because you're seeing what are you |
6490s | seeing here even you're seeing murlocs |
6491s | too |
6493s | um yeah before yeah |
6495s | I think uh usually when I see that I'm |
6498s | like uh okay the rest of the minions are |
6500s | just like |
6501s | uh Leroy's and mantis and maybe like a |
6504s | big Mech and |
6505s | that's exactly real good she's for it is |
6509s | I mean it makes sense right like if |
6510s | you're seeing there's only two or three |
6512s | of something what is the rest at the end |
6513s | of the game there's just Levi's and |
6515s | queens right |
6516s | yeah important thing in amalgam so it's |
6519s | probably poisoned yeah |
6520s | yeah like two of us sing on minotype |
6523s | usually it means it's Menagerie but you |
6525s | know it's opted to have two of one card |
6530s | broker |
6531s | oh that would have been a really |
6533s | important hit if he managed to snipe the |
6535s | Leroy but it doesn't matter too much the |
6537s | Leroy didn't really get that much value |
6540s | I think this is probably gonna be a |
6543s | Panasonic victory |
6546s | unless something crazy happens |
6550s | it's gonna be tough now the ones ones I |
6552s | think needs to snipe the exact right |
6553s | things the exact right time yeah but he |
6556s | may still be alive here right |
6558s | maybe not now no now that hit the macros |
6562s | are getting it done |
6565s | yeah I |
6569s | I'm not too surprised if the Bulls |
6570s | should win here um it doesn't look that |
6572s | scary of a board but then my girls just |
6575s | do so much in these late games when um |
6577s | everyone's border poisons |
6580s | [Music] |
6581s | um nice way to go down there though and |
6584s | I think we will see the standings in |
6585s | just a moment but basically the people |
6587s | who did badly in the first round did |
6590s | well the second time I had a team |
6591s | obviously in a world of trouble now I'm |
6594s | sleepy somehow |
6596s | two mediocre finishes despite looking |
6598s | like top 18 both times uh just managed |
6601s | to skip some points both times |
6604s | um but Collins there who won the first |
6605s | one coming down the bottom Burger King |
6607s | finishing last last time doing very well |
6610s | I'm looking forward to seeing the |
6611s | updates there it's all going to be down |
6612s | to the game three so it's all going to |
6615s | be done one game of Battlegrounds it |
6618s | looks like penguin Sun then is the |
6621s | leader with a victory and then he got |
6623s | four points to the round before right |
6626s | yes that looks right to me too yeah so |
6630s | this this could be anyone's game except |
6632s | for maybe our temu with um was it only |
6635s | 0.5 points but everyone else I think |
6638s | they're fighting for those middle slots |
6639s | like the top slot you know I think |
6642s | payments on probably hasn't locked up |
6644s | but he could get top eight and maybe get |
6646s | edged out but everyone has a solid |
6649s | chance here |
6650s | yeah uh something we've seen time and |
6652s | again actually people have come back |
6654s | after you know penguin Sun last time I |
6656s | think came seventh seventh and second in |
6658s | lobby Legends five |
6660s | um but this time already as you can see |
6662s | there significant Improvement overall |
6665s | and I think you just get a little bit |
6667s | more I talk about sample size of three |
6670s | is always a bit weird but it feels like |
6672s | people get a little bit more relaxed in |
6674s | their second Lobby Legends have you done |
6675s | it once before and there you see it all |
6677s | to play for going into this last one |
6679s | absolutely |
6681s | um yeah so the spread is like 5.5 points |
6685s | to eight is where the middle of pack is |
6687s | and it's really not a big difference at |
6690s | all I think aoteemu at this point may |
6693s | just be mathematically uh eliminated but |
6695s | everyone else |
6697s | very much |
6699s | I think |
6701s | he can still do it but everybody I think |
6704s | like it's one of those where you |
6706s | literally have to place them in the |
6708s | exact perfect order with him at the top |
6710s | and the exact perfect order from 876 |
6713s | fifth |
6714s | put it to work so he's basically |
6716s | eliminated but never say never weirder |
6718s | things have happened |
6719s | yeah that's true |
6721s | um |
6723s | okay well that is game two in the books |
6726s | they're going to try and Rattle and get |
6727s | game three going so we're going to take |
6729s | a very quick break while they set up |
6731s | game number three uh we're back in just |
6734s | three minutes with the final game of |
6735s | Lobby number one |
6737s | [Music] |
6757s | [Music] |
6758s | [Applause] |
6760s | [Music] |
6763s | thank you |
6767s | [Music] |
6788s | [Music] |
6792s | foreign |

6824s | foreign |

6857s | [Music] |
6872s | [Music] |
6875s | thank you |
6878s | [Music] |
6902s | foreign |
6905s | [Music] |
6934s | I'll come back once again to Lobby |
6936s | Legends castle northria and we are |
6938s | getting to the end of group a and it is |
6941s | in a position I've got to admit that I'm |
6943s | really looking forward to because sleepy |
6945s | needs a win and when sleepy needs a win |
6948s | I think we're going to see something |
6950s | quite exciting one way or the other |
6951s | obviously he needs to have the tools but |
6953s | yeah in general I think sleepy is a |
6955s | player who when he needs a win can find |
6957s | a way to get a win happened maybe |
6959s | yeah I'm excited to see that I feel like |
6961s | for the first two games he was shooting |
6964s | for that win he didn't quite get what |
6966s | he's looking for but he also didn't get |
6969s | eighth place too I mean he got two |
6971s | respectful finishes and he's still in uh |
6974s | contention for it so this one works out |
6975s | I'd love to see a um maybe a first or |
6978s | second from him |
6980s | yeah he picked up a fifth and an equal |
6982s | 5.5 which again not great but in both |
6985s | games I I definitely top out both of |
6988s | those If he if he just hands over to me |
6990s | on turn six you know those two games I |
6992s | just talk like both of them so he got |
6996s | something out of them both an extra turn |
6998s | both times getting a lot of points makes |
7000s | all that difference uh but this time he |
7003s | he can't bail out this time he has to |
7004s | just keep going and again something I'm |
7007s | looking forward to not just him though |
7008s | uh player that's going to need probably |
7011s | like a top three just needs to gain one |
7014s | point but the the field above of Collins |
7018s | and sharuza is going to be |
7020s | irritating for him so yeah uh says to |
7022s | say another player talk about how |
7024s | relaxed he is but he does need to get it |
7025s | done it might be relaxing for you if you |
7027s | don't win but I think we are going to go |
7029s | to this game quite quickly |
7031s | but um yeah basically Collins and |
7033s | Charissa and eastleigh if they all have |
7035s | to just check to see where the players |
7037s | below them are doing and if they're |
7039s | eliminated early then they can relax a |
7041s | little bit knowing that that's one last |
7043s | person that can overtake them |
7045s | so we may even see like a shift in |
7048s | playstyle mid game based on who is a low |
7051s | and potential uh potentially dead in a |
7054s | turn |
7055s | yeah it's one of the big differences I |
7056s | found casting Battlegrounds compared to |
7059s | Casting Masters tours actually Masters |
7061s | tours you're playing your opponent best |
7062s | out of five one of you's kind of gotta |
7064s | win that's how it works but |
7065s | Battlegrounds you can sort of bail out |
7067s | and choose not to win for a safer option |
7069s | and here we go with sleepy |
7071s | surely it's got to be sire the situation |
7074s | he's in or is there a better choice do |
7076s | you think |
7077s | um I could see potentially a Target pick |
7080s | here with um pirates in but I'd probably |
7084s | go for sire I'm trying to win I feel |
7086s | like that Hero has so much potential |
7087s | here we go |
7090s | right going on to the bandwagon and I'm |
7092s | instantly picking sleepy here we have a |
7094s | goth from East Leaf as well he was one |
7097s | of those top four players so I could see |
7100s | a very interesting you know stay on low |
7103s | tier uh ghost strategy potentially |
7107s | obviously a massive Armor Hero so your |
7110s | nice easy quest which is something we |
7112s | haven't talked about that much because |
7112s | there's been so much going on |
7115s | yeah oh right on the instantly goes for |
7118s | animal bread I would love to see the |
7120s | combination of Anima bribe and cooked |
7122s | book |
7123s | um he deals accumulate a lot of stats |
7125s | and that would be perfect for winning |
7126s | this Lobby I think that may be part of |
7129s | the reason why you've snapped picked |
7130s | that over the ritual dagger the Richard |
7132s | dagger is pretty tempting as well with |
7135s | uh the skywag on board and it's easier |
7137s | quest to do I think |
7138s | it's like buy nine minutes compared to |
7141s | [Music] |
7142s | um |
7142s | what was it five battle cries yeah will |
7146s | he stay on one like battle crys live on |
7148s | one don't they you stay on tier one now |
7150s | for quite a while |
7152s | yeah a few of the important ones are |
7154s | gone there's no Alley Cat there's no |
7156s | shell collector and there's no |
7158s | refreshing normally all of which are |
7160s | very |
7161s | um cheap battle cries to buy because |
7163s | they give you money in a way |
7167s | to skip this battle cry because it'd be |
7169s | a little awkward to stay down with it |
7171s | without |
7172s | um an economy in it |
7174s | yeah okay |
7178s | no freeze there either okay we're gonna |
7180s | see flurgle played fluger one of the |
7182s | higher win rate Heroes but can just sort |
7186s | of flump out if you're not careful you |
7187s | do need to just take time and still play |
7190s | your Tempo game sensibly I think |
7192s | yeah unfortunately I used to say it |
7194s | didn't get a murloc or a economy unit |
7197s | for it to turn one so it'd be a little |
7199s | harder to get the molecuing plant |
7201s | activated but |
7203s | um some shops can really change that |
7204s | like Tad for instance is probably the |
7207s | best card you can find these upcoming |
7209s | turns you may even stay on two for that |
7212s | stay with him hopefully and have a look |
7213s | what quest he gets and |
7216s | Burger King look around |
7219s | he was in this shop |
7224s | oh that's not a bad shop two hero power |
7227s | and by at all |
7229s | you will unfortunately get the the knot |
7232s | in that card any of the other cards that |
7234s | have been perfect I think for he's |
7235s | trying to do |
7236s | but y'all y'all give and y'all take it |
7239s | away it does this is yeah he's gonna |
7242s | freeze this for the Synergy I assume |
7244s | that's why of course yeah nothing |
7246s | imagine he'll want the metal tooth |
7247s | leaper um later on and he'll probably |
7249s | just buy one of these other two mechs um |
7252s | this deciding probably which one is |
7253s | better for now though |
7256s | where do you draw the line like keeping |
7258s | stuff in hand versus playing it going |
7260s | into Quest turns |
7262s | um how do you weigh up what to do there |
7264s | yeah so that's an interesting thing I |
7266s | think um holding battle cries in your |
7269s | hand is probably one of the best things |
7271s | to do because that requirement is so |
7274s | Niche and |
7275s | um you know specific but when it comes |
7277s | to random you know tribal minions maybe |
7279s | not |
7281s | not the best but you could still do it |
7283s | and then when it comes to like |
7284s | Minions that have no tribe type you |
7286s | probably don't want to hold those |
7287s | because they only help you progress the |
7290s | summon Quest requirement |
7292s | goodbye |
7294s | okay that makes that makes a lot of |
7295s | sense |
7296s | and then obviously if your opponent |
7297s | stayed stayed on one and has a whole |
7299s | like their meal house or something you |
7301s | might have to just play stuff to stop |
7302s | yourself getting beaten up yeah times |
7305s | 115 gold |
7308s | um thinking that's probably not the pick |
7311s | for sleepy |
7312s | um but there are dragons in so |
7314s | technically you could start backing a |
7316s | text with that but I think |
7318s | he might not even be in a game if he |
7321s | picks that one like uh he'll probably |
7324s | just die before the Smoking Gun I will |
7326s | say I I see chat like often complaining |
7329s | I'll look 100 gold 90 gold it's so much |
7331s | it does add up quickly if you cycle |
7333s | things through especially if there's um |
7335s | pirates in and Elementals you you can |
7338s | get through a lot of gold in return but |
7340s | yeah 115 does seem to be pushing your |
7342s | luck yeah when you buy Minions that um |
7345s | give you money back um it's likely to do |
7348s | it but 115 if you're not like Milhouse |
7350s | or |
7351s | um Fred Sky works I think it was way too |
7354s | much |
7356s | fun very nerfed Quest as well |
7360s | yeah that's true |
7362s | carry on |
7363s | uh looks like Eastland doesn't really |
7365s | have the best stuff too honestly but |
7368s | maybe the random Max might be the way to |
7370s | go I see one Battle Cry in the shop if |
7372s | it could also be alter ego but that |
7374s | refresh uh 10 times Quest requirement is |
7377s | very harsh because typically you're not |
7379s | rolling too much and having the tavern |
7380s | refreshed |
7382s | yeah an alter ego very much is sort of |
7384s | early or mid Game Quest I think later on |
7386s | the the plus seven plus seven becomes |
7388s | not irrelevant obviously if you've got |
7390s | some sort of demons going on maybe but |
7391s | yeah it's pretty rough |
7394s | yeah I'd say it's uh it's pretty decent |
7397s | in this lobby with Max and uh demons in |
7400s | you can stack those um plus seven |
7402s | percent plus pretty quickly but yeah |
7405s | maybe not the the best one to go for in |
7407s | the spot |
7409s | foreign |
7418s | this is the part about gopher it feels |
7420s | so awkward to play as a hero um he's |
7422s | gonna have seven goal next turn and |
7424s | buying a minion here probably costs five |
7425s | but what do you do with like the |
7427s | remaining two two gold you have |
7430s | yeah |
7431s | you'll go to it's something that's made |
7434s | Battlegrounds really cool right now like |
7436s | before it was just learn how to be |
7438s | efficient and chill play the game pick |
7440s | some good cards but now you've got to |
7443s | still do all that and factor in the |
7445s | quest so sometimes just having two gold |
7447s | left over |
7448s | because there's so much else going it |
7450s | just happened to us mortal players like |
7453s | it's like I forgot to be efficient |
7455s | because I was worrying too hard about my |
7457s | quest or too hard about my triple or too |
7458s | hard about something else there's so |
7460s | much going on now so much making it up |
7462s | as you go along it's a lot less |
7463s | formulaic |
7465s | yeah I think you're bringing up a good |
7467s | point before when you mentioned that |
7469s | like the top 20 Heroes had fewer pairs |
7471s | didn't cost any goals I think right now |
7473s | the state of Battlegrounds |
7475s | um those are just Heroes that you want |
7477s | to be picking because they help you |
7478s | complete the quest easier right because |
7480s | you don't have to worry about you know |
7482s | awkwardly spending gold on hero Powers |
7484s | you just buy Minions that help you with |
7486s | your quests and then you get a quest |
7488s | that's you know sometimes even better |
7491s | than your hero power |
7493s | yeah absolutely and it's also just costs |
7495s | money a lot of the time if you're trying |
7496s | to spend 150 in Gold you're buying and |
7498s | selling minions or you know just joking |
7500s | there but you're buying minions to play |
7502s | Battle cards you're buying minions to |
7503s | get death battles you're buying minions |
7505s | to put things in your hand or to improve |
7507s | deep minion stats a lot of the time |
7509s | um one or two hero Powers maybe help |
7511s | with that like Guff but in general |
7513s | spending money pressing a button |
7516s | not where you want to be if you're |
7517s | completing your quest so it shows how |
7519s | important the quests have been |
7521s | yeah and the case of Guff too it's like |
7524s | an interesting comparison you spend two |
7526s | gold for you know a static amount of |
7528s | stats you could get that same thing for |
7532s | free with like ritual dagger or red hand |
7534s | right kind of like |
7536s | yeah kind of um you know really |
7540s | yeah it makes this a hero Powers a lot |
7542s | less valuable |
7546s | yeah I could just chill here yeah I like |
7549s | it |
7554s | so he's gonna go for a six drops seems |
7556s | like in this Lobby you could hit Eliza |
7560s | or fell back potentially and he's also |
7562s | gonna get a um a prize material power |
7564s | too |
7566s | take a look at what his quests was |
7569s | it's not quite up yet but uh the only |
7572s | one that isn't yeah typically |
7575s | yeah it's about to say though if he had |
7577s | Secrets since then um it'd be a bit |
7578s | unfortunate because he might not get it |
7581s | before his discover but |
7584s | also interesting that he's he's in |
7586s | fourth place at the moment so you know |
7588s | playing safe would be your natural |
7590s | instinct but no he's he's gonna go for |
7592s | six and still play Battlegrounds you |
7594s | know as he's used to us as you should |
7596s | play |
7597s | yeah the second interesting Dynamic |
7600s | where if everyone is trying to play safe |
7601s | then maybe you don't play safe and you |
7604s | try to like Edge out people by going for |
7606s | riskier line and then you come out on |
7608s | top because everyone's |
7609s | everyone was you know settling yeah yeah |
7611s | safe placement there's less competition |
7613s | for you in terms of who's going for |
7615s | first yeah that makes a lot of sense and |
7617s | a lot something that makes a lot more |
7619s | sense now is going for that six anyway |
7622s | because his quest is to increase minion |
7624s | stats 20 times |
7626s | so he's got the double Earl in place he |
7628s | doesn't want to take the the triple for |
7631s | now he wants to I don't know what the |
7633s | reward is |
7636s | oh it's Alter Ego so having the double |
7638s | URL in play he's not he's completing the |
7641s | question could it be quickly basically |
7642s | yeah and he might even get it done uh |
7645s | the turn after he takes a six drop |
7647s | but one thing I want to bring up here is |
7648s | penguinsan was at a 60 life with an |
7651s | incredibly strong uh Quest that this |
7654s | ritual dagger |
7656s | um and he's in the top of the |
7657s | leaderboards right now too he's um 11 |
7659s | points so I'd say payment sign is |
7662s | playing perfectly towards what his game |
7664s | plan should be which is securing a um a |
7668s | placement just enough to to secure him |
7671s | um advancement at this group |
7673s | yep didn't see his other choices but |
7674s | again just just taking it here with a |
7676s | million health is also part of that |
7679s | um meanwhile on the other side of it |
7681s | here we go with that six drop Quest must |
7683s | be nearly complete I think to go for |
7684s | this yeah four more needed so that will |
7687s | be completed next turn yeah I'm quite |
7690s | worried for sharosa though and I did um |
7693s | miscalculate it's turn seven not turn |
7696s | eight so you'll only be getting his |
7697s | prize next turn this board is really not |
7701s | too strong here he had the staff two |
7702s | minions which are Minions that rail |
7705s | could have ended up buffing we need to |
7706s | take Amanda Queen which doesn't really |
7707s | give him any direction |
7709s | so no not the best spot for him golden |
7713s | amalgam hidden behind this burn so I |
7715s | assume the choice is bran or Tony at |
7717s | this point depending what the other |
7718s | Pirates are |
7719s | I believe the our teammate did have a |
7721s | gold Grabber so it could have even been |
7724s | a Tony pick there to try to Golden it |
7726s | but I think without any help on his |
7729s | board to proc The Avenge maybe not |
7732s | this brand is also yeah very good in |
7734s | this Lobby I'd say with the amalgam and |
7736s | the murlocs in |
7738s | well it's not freezing this that's |
7740s | something |
7741s | um I'd be very tempted to freeze this |
7742s | with the poison and the |
7745s | golden pirate there |
7749s | I think with this Menagerie Mayhem Quest |
7751s | he's probably looking to find Divine |
7754s | Shields to buff up and this amalga's |
7757s | already so high attack he feels like he |
7760s | probably doesn't need to |
7762s | um actually get a poison he'd have to |
7765s | find numeral octopo poison I think if |
7766s | you want to take that line |
7768s | oh is this already gold as well that |
7770s | explains |
7775s | um stressa oh |
7777s | not the best ones I think in this case |
7779s | you're usually looking for on the house |
7780s | or |
7781s | I forget the name but there's one that |
7783s | helps you |
7785s | um level up quickly by giving you six |
7787s | goals immediately |
7789s | yeah I forget the names of the next one |
7790s | you made |
7791s | it's the one that levels up quicker by |
7793s | giving you six goals yeah |
7796s | that's that's exactly that one I |
7799s | couldn't think of it I got halfway |
7800s | through a sentence and realized hang on |
7802s | this is just going to repeat exactly |
7804s | what I've just heard |
7805s | yeah but assistant's position isn't too |
7809s | bad here actually he's just gonna buy um |
7811s | different tribal minions too uh help |
7814s | with his Samantha Queen and he gave it |
7815s | taunt too so it's very likely to get |
7816s | Divine Shields oh but um you sleep here |
7821s | just managed to collect almost all of |
7823s | the two accounts I think he has one two |
7825s | three four he's just missing a five drop |
7827s | because he skips um |
7830s | basically in a five to get a six drop |
7831s | off of this |
7833s | micro mummy triple looks like |
7835s | it's just sneaky strong right with |
7838s | double America Eliza and some stuff |
7841s | yeah I think he's incredibly strong |
7843s | actually |
7844s | um he has a lot of like in combat |
7847s | strength with the Eliza and with this |
7849s | prize parametric but |
7851s | he doesn't really have a strong way to |
7853s | improve the stats on his board for the |
7854s | next turn besides his hero power which |
7856s | granted does give him like 10 tennis |
7858s | stats to turn with his five uh tier |
7860s | counts but the quest is going to start |
7862s | spewing out Max as well so if you get to |
7865s | six he's going to be able to just ride |
7867s | the back of this board for a couple of |
7869s | turns while the mechs start to pile up I |
7871s | think |
7872s | yeah if he wants to do that he may also |
7874s | opt just to stay on five and maybe find |
7877s | some annoying marches for these amalgams |
7880s | maybe find some Scallywags for Eliza or |
7883s | yeah just find a brand to buff his |
7884s | things up there's a lot of directions he |
7887s | could go down |
7888s | uh yeah I'm very curious my mic again |
7891s | I'm |
7892s | a little bit all over the place |
7893s | sometimes but I like to go to Six here |
7895s | because you might get the modules anyway |
7897s | with the friends along the way so I |
7899s | wanted to double my chance of getting |
7900s | good stuff counting Busters good stuff |
7902s | yeah |
7903s | yeah would be really good |
7906s | it's a strong board that you can get |
7907s | away with it is what I'm thinking |
7910s | oh this is a strat that I'm really |
7913s | interested in I like this uh stone |
7915s | called the Terry ghosts that you can |
7918s | find Terry Gus at any point and make |
7919s | them golden permanently for free because |
7922s | by the way uh the tear Gas Works and the |
7925s | cool thing about this strategy too is um |
7927s | you can passively scale so much just |
7929s | from the web Smugglers the nether Drakes |
7933s | the funds promo Drake too he scales |
7935s | historic very very quickly imagine |
7938s | that's what cons would go for here on |
7940s | tier four |
7942s | how do you I mean here it's obvious you |
7944s | you've got no choice but with Amber |
7946s | Guardian are you |
7948s | interested in forcing on how it goes or |
7950s | do you just tend to let it happen |
7953s | um I think you just tend to let it |
7954s | happen because you can't really afford |
7956s | to sell off all these dragons that |
7957s | you're scaling with the um another Drake |
7959s | yeah |
7961s | I've seen people sell like on different |
7964s | Boards of this sort of more |
7966s | your developing boards if you liked |
7968s | people sell off decent dragons just to |
7970s | get a shield until it goes and I |
7972s | understand players are good but |
7973s | sometimes that just feels a little bit |
7973s | wasteful where this again Colin's hand |
7977s | is kind of forced but |
7980s | you've got plenty of time |
7982s | yeah I think in this case |
7985s | um |
7986s | cons is kind of like is |
7989s | he has a mix of two strategies that I'd |
7991s | say dragons have right now for early |
7992s | game uh one of which is like Tarik and |
7995s | promo and the other one is nether Drake |
7997s | and wolf Smuggler and he could be |
8000s | prepared to switch over to the tariken |
8001s | promo one if he gets Turk but I think |
8004s | for right now he's pretty solid in one |
8006s | strategy while just keeping this taric |
8007s | in case |
8010s | in that case you know you probably don't |
8012s | want to slap your other dragons oh but |
8013s | he did get the yeah |
8016s | good yeah how did he get another |
8020s | it's insane he got another Eliza and he |
8022s | got a Tony what if that Fringe along the |
8024s | way isn't mixed but he's Pirates or |
8025s | something |
8027s | I think maybe the amalgam got tripled |
8029s | there and he triples to Eliza and then |
8030s | rolled into Tony |
8033s | but wow |
8035s | scuff was so strong he didn't even get a |
8038s | um a golden process Tony |
8041s | the definition for so problem |
8045s | s is now in deep trouble he was relying |
8047s | on having two turns to |
8049s | what he's doing and now he's got to make |
8051s | it work immediately |
8052s | yeah so now either or Collins could |
8055s | potentially die but |
8058s | yeah and that would throw the lobby open |
8060s | because they're the two players on eight |
8061s | points |
8063s | right yeah so that would really give |
8068s | um sleepy focusing a really good chance |
8070s | of getting out of this into the finals |
8074s | yeah and the funny thing here is Alex at |
8076s | the very top of the standings and |
8079s | this could be that scenario where he |
8080s | said right like if people just right |
8083s | magic placements |
8085s | they would be the two players who'd have |
8087s | to come like last and next to last would |
8089s | be Collins and um if they shared it last |
8093s | got 0.5 Points each that would actually |
8095s | be a part of that I think |
8097s | yeah and the tiebreaker might make us at |
8100s | our team who doesn't make it through |
8108s | I think he got eight for a win for some |
8110s | reason oh yeah so we got seven 7.5 yeah |
8113s | it's not enough then I mean my bad yeah |
8115s | I spent the whole day typing in stats |
8117s | that add up to eight so eight was on the |
8119s | brain because first for seven points is |
8121s | eight yeah my bad |
8123s | yeah |
8124s | um but let's just say here really gotten |
8127s | his Strat to come along |
8129s | I don't even know if he's gonna have |
8130s | enough time to finish out this turn |
8132s | depending on |
8134s | if he gets a like a highly valuable |
8136s | murloc here like a um |
8139s | a lookout yeah |
8143s | there it is yeah just freeze it and |
8146s | waste to Gold just make sure you get it |
8148s | one way or another yeah you're less |
8151s | concerned about the gold and Flame we're |
8153s | concerned about just staying alive here |
8156s | but yeah it is a very safe play to solve |
8160s | the brand here for the tunnel Blaster |
8161s | when you're not sure they're going to |
8162s | have Divine Shields |
8164s | very much underrated skill that um |
8169s | happens in Battlegrounds is the skill of |
8171s | just okay which is my priority I've run |
8172s | out of time because we're so used to |
8174s | talking about perfect play or correct |
8176s | plays when it comes to constructed |
8178s | and in Battlegrounds it's very hard to |
8181s | do that if not impossible so |
8184s | just knowing when okay look this term is |
8187s | going to be a bit of a botch I'm going |
8188s | to run out of time this is the best |
8190s | thing I can do with my last three |
8191s | seconds is a huge scale as Collins goes |
8194s | out there in eighth place |
8196s | um it's a huge skill that these top |
8197s | players have all got is when to do |
8200s | something with your time and when to |
8201s | just bail |
8203s | yeah and I'd say that um it's time the |
8206s | turn timer gets shorter probably the |
8208s | most important thing to do is just not |
8210s | think about how much gold you have at |
8211s | all and just focus your time on |
8214s | positioning your minions to maximize um |
8217s | combat effectiveness |
8218s | which is always hard to do because |
8220s | you know |
8222s | you have so much money to spend you're |
8224s | going to want to spend it but in these |
8226s | cases like this positioning is the most |
8228s | important thing you can do yeah and it's |
8230s | an ego thing as well right it's like I'm |
8232s | a top player why am I running out of |
8234s | time I shouldn't be running out of time |
8235s | on a normal looking turn I don't count |
8238s | part APN Pilots or something obviously |
8240s | um so you've got to check your ego a |
8242s | little bit and just go no this is this |
8244s | is what I can do this is what I've got |
8245s | left |
8247s | yeah it kind of helps to watch these |
8249s | tournaments too like there are going to |
8251s | be turns where people just run out of |
8252s | time and it's gonna see how they handle |
8255s | it and the good players will uh |
8258s | they'll handle it well |
8260s | oh my God nearly there |
8262s | yeah we were talking about how you know |
8264s | Exodia kind of shifted to me and Max a |
8267s | little bit but this is pirate Exodia and |
8270s | the compos |
8271s | coming along like usually there's gonna |
8274s | be more |
8275s | um khadgars and Barons on the board but |
8278s | yeah right now he could pivot over uh |
8282s | completely to khadgar's if he finds it |
8284s | but for now I like the the mech um |
8286s | additions they're gonna get so much |
8288s | attack with the Eliza prox |
8290s | yeah and this should keep him alive for |
8292s | a long time |
8294s | um easily also yeah again we talk about |
8296s | the positions because it is game three |
8298s | he's he's pretty safe if he doesn't have |
8300s | a disaster and this isn't a board that's |
8301s | having a disaster anytime soon most |
8303s | likely |
8304s | I guess on 16 something weird can always |
8307s | happen with a cleave but |
8308s | yeah looks like because it's shirosa |
8312s | it's kind of going for like a mix of a |
8316s | bunch of strategies he has this Buster |
8318s | and the Kang Wars but sadly for him |
8322s | it's not going to get too much value off |
8324s | of the kanglers |
8325s | yeah this is one of my boards oh look |
8327s | I've got a powerful card let's see what |
8329s | I can do with it all at once obviously |
8331s | I'm sure he got there by a different |
8332s | route to me but yeah |
8334s | yeah we saw a lot of this actually in |
8336s | the last game too where um when the |
8339s | players was playing like a buster in a |
8341s | kangaroos with like two mechs it's just |
8344s | something that you're holding on to |
8345s | you're hoping you can transition into |
8347s | but you know it might never actually |
8349s | happen |
8353s | is out and Collins is out |
8357s | both players on eight points so that |
8359s | means that says to say uh Burger Gene |
8361s | sleepy all in with a chance now of |
8364s | getting on to Sunday Stacy say with this |
8367s | is ongoing fluggle Board of Relentless |
8371s | numbers |
8372s | um what could he do to improve this how |
8373s | can you go about getting some Divine |
8374s | Shields or something for this board |
8377s | um I think he's probably just going to |
8378s | continue to go for stats here it'd be oh |
8381s | we got the browse blessing |
8384s | all right |
8385s | uh I think Divine Shields probably |
8388s | aren't a priority because he already has |
8390s | the Blaster which I imagine he'll play |
8391s | down at the end of the turn here |
8394s | um |
8396s | and yeah I mean I think his turn is |
8399s | basically over but rogoshine still has |
8401s | quite a few The Cook's book |
8404s | with these mechs and the magnetics are |
8406s | quite pulling but I think |
8409s | that was uh rugby chain might not have |
8411s | enough attack on his deflectors I could |
8413s | be wrong here though because there is a |
8415s | module in hand that could be pretty big |
8417s | to attach but you never feel too good |
8419s | about attaching a taunt to your deflecto |
8422s | yeah and TJ's chosen is a really |
8424s | important one here because these are the |
8426s | two players best placed to take |
8429s | um Collins or serious spot |
8432s | are these are the next two in the table |
8434s | so |
8436s | if they can eliminate one one another |
8438s | here that would be a big deal for both |
8440s | players uh the winner of this fight a |
8443s | very good chance of pushing the other |
8444s | one out and taking a spot in the finals |
8446s | won't be guaranteed but |
8449s | it's a pretty big deal yeah |
8452s | I feel like the stats answer says said |
8454s | it may just be enough here these Leroy's |
8458s | are gonna do nothing because of the |
8460s | Blaster Blaster is one of those cars |
8463s | we've seen have an insane impact on |
8465s | these combats |
8468s | and once again I believe I picked too |
8470s | soon I was pretty sure that Ferguson was |
8471s | going to get there but that blaster's |
8473s | just blasted him out of the tournament |
8475s | pretty much yeah it was likely does not |
8478s | getting researchy there |
8480s | yeah I think the the gold gripper |
8484s | unfortunately is not quite big enough |
8486s | here there's 95 HP on the world leader |
8489s | but we've done it you said that um yeah |
8492s | the best plan here of course yesterday |
8493s | was just to to keep building stats good |
8496s | job he did because he didn't end up with |
8497s | that much by the end of it in terms of |
8499s | extra stats on at least one of those |
8500s | minions and put smoke machine out and |
8503s | not only does Focus you can go out but |
8505s | that puts as they say even closer |
8507s | do that top four which would put him |
8510s | through to tomorrow yeah and Penguins |
8513s | sign is out too and here was the leader |
8517s | um it looks like then he'll have 2.5 |
8521s | points with that so have 13.5 which I |
8524s | think sounds should be enough yeah |
8527s | well he's going sleep he's gonna |
8529s | probably need to win this Lobby I should |
8530s | think |
8532s | oh so here's uh |
8535s | I really like this strategy or the |
8537s | combination of |
8539s | um Quest rewards here so he has smoking |
8542s | guns gives five attacks and Minions on |
8543s | board and with anime bribe so basically |
8546s | every single minute he sells is just an |
8548s | extra five attack to his minions |
8550s | and that's how he is able to come up |
8552s | with these uh like this really high |
8554s | attack uh bronze word in the |
8557s | the papa |
8559s | and if he can take you down this could |
8561s | be one of the the puzzle box questions |
8562s | for the day as well with |
8565s | um he's only on tier four |
8567s | oh my god eastlife um oh wow wow got a |
8571s | golden character out of nowhere |
8573s | like you do no help out of his quest |
8575s | Yeah just something that happens |
8577s | um and esleaf was the second place |
8579s | player with 9.5 so |
8581s | I think penguins are an easily for |
8583s | probably secured here and then |
8586s | sleepy and just say might just be at the |
8589s | the remaining two |
8591s | yeah it's looking like it actually |
8593s | um |
8594s | yeah I'm not going to do I am going to |
8596s | do it so colleges shoes you're both on |
8597s | eight at the start of this so they're |
8599s | both on 8.5 now sleep who's on 5.5 it |
8603s | only actually needs |
8604s | what three and a half points |
8608s | because they've done so badly yeah so |
8609s | sleepy and um says they say both in a |
8612s | really good spot |
8615s | a little bit |
8617s | if you may not make it feel this is here |
8620s | but I think he needs third |
8623s | yeah there might be twice like a lot of |
8625s | stats on the board here |
8629s | oh I'm also losing actually you never |
8632s | lose this and don't die if you lose as |
8634s | you almost certainly died aren't you |
8635s | because you've lost stuff |
8638s | I think so I think Eastlake wouldn't die |
8640s | but sleepy would definitely |
8645s | is so big |
8647s | yeah like this is where the golden cow |
8650s | guy really shines like it just copied a |
8652s | 17 attack |
8655s | s why not |
8657s | yeah it seems like the number of stats |
8660s | is kind of overwhelming on Easter side |
8661s | and because of um the tricks there's |
8664s | only getting attacked from a gun and not |
8666s | HPA I don't think this is gonna be oh no |
8669s | I need to go two of these minions that's |
8671s | not happening yeah so sleepy might be |
8673s | out then if he gets four points for that |
8679s | they'll put them at 9.5 still maybe |
8683s | enough though |
8687s | we'll see at the end |
8691s | and then our team are putting up a |
8693s | strong performance very interesting to |
8695s | see how he is up to oh |
8698s | he's having a really good game |
8703s | yeah he just quietly made some gigantic |
8707s | murlocs and |
8710s | yeah he must have had like a war leader |
8713s | or um a King burger at some point with |
8715s | these um |
8717s | this younger guys because they have |
8719s | quite a bit of stats on there |
8720s | by themselves too |
8724s | it seems like his build is mostly |
8726s | finished for now I can't see how many do |
8728s | you want to replace except for the Manta |
8729s | because he has another one |
8731s | but you could also just replace a murloc |
8733s | with a manted for an extra Divine Shield |
8735s | advantage |
8737s | cool |
8738s | yeah it's a little funny also the |
8740s | monashi Mayhem does nothing on that |
8742s | board since everything has poison except |
8744s | for the uh |
8746s | yeah what it does do of course um should |
8749s | go without the same I'm just gonna say |
8750s | it anyway what we're filling in is just |
8751s | you know it buys you the time to get |
8754s | that poison it's giving them the attack |
8756s | earlier in the game to |
8758s | have some poison but now like you say |
8761s | it's completely useless |
8763s | yeah I |
8765s | I feel like warden's been doing very |
8768s | very well uh in these tournaments uh it |
8770s | got first and that first game that we |
8771s | played we saw and then I'll team it top |
8774s | three already |
8777s | but |
8778s | yeah this is |
8780s | a matchup where um |
8783s | also unsure of what's gonna happen here |
8785s | there's so many high-tech Pirates here |
8787s | but there's also some HP on this side |
8790s | yeah you're going to need the |
8792s | discoveries to take down probably two of |
8794s | the murlocs |
8796s | um and then the rest was just tried |
8797s | obviously |
8798s | you can see one for one pretty much |
8800s | yeah yeah you can just hit the right |
8803s | things which I think they're going to do |
8805s | oh that nine HP one can get sniped by |
8808s | when this guy works |
8810s | and if it doesn't it might not be 27's |
8813s | in danger as well that's the part yeah |
8817s | it's pretty fortunate also that the |
8819s | shield end up going on the stealth unit |
8821s | so this guy can't pop it but it seems |
8823s | like it'll be oh 79 it was just enough |
8827s | just enough |
8832s | oh and then |
8834s | yeah seems like farting Got The Ghost |
8836s | and didn't lose to them |
8839s | um so at this point |
8840s | basically |
8841s | um I'd say and Altima have almost the |
8845s | same board except for ltmus is better |
8848s | with Manta Queens giving the Divine |
8850s | Shield Advantage so that means this to |
8851s | say is more likely to have to run a |
8853s | tunnel blaster |
8855s | and Altima also has a golden selfless |
8858s | too so he should be Altima should be |
8860s | favored in that matchup but |
8862s | again it's going to be hard to judge um |
8864s | the matches between pirate Exodia and |
8866s | murlocs I'd say |
8869s | eastleaf probably has an advantage |
8871s | against the Altima death because our |
8872s | team hasn't had the time that has |
8875s | to accumulate as much stats |
8878s | yep |
8880s | I know Timmy stuff is a lot bigger |
8883s | though this 200 928 |
8887s | yeah I think here we're going to see an |
8889s | interesting play where maybe alexemia |
8891s | plays this annoy module on its own |
8893s | without attaching it to a Mac just to |
8896s | stop Scallywags from summoning |
8898s | um so what happens is |
8900s | um if a scalog doesn't die then there's |
8902s | no space to summon additional ones |
8904s | though this module is actually a very |
8906s | good option of stuff that is often to |
8909s | choose that over the zap because |
8912s | um with Gus hero power it's very easy to |
8914s | change the attack totals of um Baron and |
8918s | kaggar to get them out of range |
8920s | I do and I do it myself as well like I |
8924s | try and stop this from going off with |
8927s | small taunts but I do feel that it is |
8930s | often just a a gesture that only lasts a |
8933s | small amount of time it doesn't make as |
8934s | much difference as you think because |
8936s | eventually they blow it up and then the |
8938s | next one ends up starting to get killed |
8940s | anyway like this this is exactly how I |
8942s | mean and then |
8943s | passingly starts |
8946s | oh well in this case if cargo got |
8949s | snapped here instead of um the baron I |
8951s | think a significant amount of strength |
8953s | to be taken off from |
8955s | the uh on the board but oh in this case |
8958s | it'll be an even trade again another tie |
8963s | I think I think we might see a lot of in |
8965s | these upcoming fights |
8969s | but now it's the murloc mirror match |
8972s | um so I'm gonna go with my original |
8974s | prediction that alitama probably has the |
8977s | edge here |
8979s | yeah |
8980s | there's not too much I think |
8982s | you can really do like he's just looking |
8984s | for a triple on the baron and if he |
8987s | wants to he can maybe try to |
8991s | prevent his um like maybe try to take |
8993s | out the small taunts that are blocking |
8995s | the skywag |
8997s | you'd have the choice there to as he's |
8999s | against the ghost to take the scally |
9000s | golden and look for two more he thought |
9003s | about that very briefly |
9005s | um the chances are that doesn't happen |
9006s | of course but if you want to have the |
9008s | third Skully you've got to get the |
9009s | golden along the way |
9011s | yeah one thing that people do do is they |
9014s | can play a 20 uh two Tusk and make one |
9017s | of their um scalabax golden and then |
9019s | they don't have to find two more they |
9021s | just have to find one more scary to fill |
9023s | up a board |
9024s | and I think that's something that would |
9025s | be valuable because |
9027s | um even though you have a full boards |
9028s | this guy likes maybe blocked |
9030s | you are potentially getting more value |
9033s | off of having an additional scallywag |
9039s | trying to get those numbers up but um |
9042s | yeah |
9044s | yeah I think at this point it's just to |
9047s | say and um eastleaf I mean they're |
9048s | already |
9050s | potentially locked in so they may need |
9052s | to get another placement but |
9054s | at this point |
9056s | um |
9057s | I think for the most part our team is |
9059s | Alan and easily offensive today are are |
9061s | both end but of course you know |
9063s | they're competitors and they just want |
9064s | to win anyways |
9066s | even if it nothing's on the line |
9069s | yeah absolutely |
9072s | well |
9074s | yeah it seems like |
9076s | there's not enough uh Minions on this |
9079s | side it's one of the drawbacks of having |
9082s | to run a tunnel blaster |
9084s | you know if the burden of running |
9086s | televises on you that's one less minion |
9088s | you can play that actually has an impact |
9089s | on the other minions |
9092s | you should be embarrassed you go out |
9095s | murloc as flurgle |
9097s | yeah that's the funny thing about Circle |
9099s | you can get so much stats on your |
9101s | minions but then because your flogo |
9104s | murlocs are in the lobby and sometimes |
9106s | it doesn't even matter how big you are |
9107s | you could just lose to a one-two poison |
9109s | yeah you got a way to be um |
9112s | yeah you really have to weigh the |
9115s | benefits of getting more stats versus |
9116s | using all of your resources to roll for |
9119s | more powerful End Game Cards like golden |
9121s | Southwest and golden Baron |
9124s | yeah |
9125s | yeah it's always weird to know when to |
9127s | stop building stats and when to go for |
9129s | in-game cards especially in this very |
9131s | peculiar Lobby where it is you know the |
9133s | two huge murlocs but also this pirate |
9135s | Exodia |
9137s | where I think people have got a lot |
9140s | better estimating the size of pirates |
9142s | and |
9143s | what to do about them but it's still a |
9145s | lot of guesswork a lot of the time for |
9146s | most people I think |
9148s | yeah and in this case like he he did |
9151s | have to do both he had to play for stats |
9153s | and also play end game so it's a |
9156s | terrible position to be in |
9161s | Okay so |
9163s | oh |
9165s | he finally found the golden Baron after |
9167s | all this time |
9170s | but he's gonna have to freeze it I'm |
9172s | still gonna be okay hero powering every |
9174s | single turn |
9175s | the stats do kind of matter on these um |
9179s | Eliza's in the uh the caggar and the |
9181s | baron |
9182s | but it also feels a bit bad to spend two |
9184s | of your goals when your only job is to |
9187s | roll for a baron and uh khadgar |
9191s | oh in this case our team have found the |
9193s | void alert and if he wants to you can |
9196s | play a module as well to maximally block |
9198s | the um all right |
9200s | yeah so one interesting thing you can do |
9202s | in the spot to play around it is try to |
9204s | play a ghoul on the prior side and kill |
9207s | off the taunts with the ghoul because |
9209s | you can do that with the golden |
9210s | Southwest or the golden Baron it'll deal |
9212s | nine damage and they'll kill off both |
9214s | the boylord and module yeah I think this |
9217s | is a bit different to when I was saying |
9218s | before they always seem to find a way |
9219s | through when you've got two things in |
9221s | the way that's when things get a bit |
9223s | sketchy because if |
9225s | two of these galleys end up not dying |
9228s | which didn't happen here then |
9230s | the ball starts getting all choked up |
9232s | and yeah absolutely then I think the the |
9234s | pilots get into trouble |
9236s | yeah in this case the perfect thing that |
9238s | happens where now the chain of scales is |
9240s | gone but unfortunately for our team here |
9242s | he didn't have the same scaling |
9244s | abilities as the flow goal |
9247s | but this may still end up being a tie |
9251s | for him |
9252s | yes |
9254s | because there's just so much tank on the |
9256s | skies yeah but in this case now |
9260s | um easily if it's gonna get stronger |
9262s | with his golden Baron and our team is |
9265s | kind of capped out what he can do he can |
9267s | always find another void Lord or a uh |
9270s | module but that comes at the drawback of |
9273s | selling off a golden selfless or a big |
9275s | murloc |
9276s | uh at this point I think Eastlake now |
9279s | has initiative over this matchup |
9284s | uh |
9286s | uh got a decision to make with this um |
9289s | this huge |
9291s | amalgam I guess in case he wants to get |
9292s | like a third void Lord or something out |
9294s | there |
9296s | yeah that's the that's the one thing |
9298s | that I think he may need to keep because |
9300s | if you only have small taunts right that |
9303s | can be played around a little bit but if |
9305s | you have like one big time in it and a |
9307s | bunch of small tarts |
9309s | a little harder |
9310s | but um what I was talking about before |
9312s | with the |
9313s | um Blaster if it does sell off the big |
9317s | amalgam it may be possible that blast |
9320s | doesn't go off it hits into |
9322s | android model but I think in this case |
9324s | this is where |
9326s | um |
9326s | the Menage Mayhem is actually working |
9329s | against aoteam |
9331s | um mod uh a blaster is always going to |
9333s | go off because the attack on these small |
9335s | taunts get bigger |
9337s | like it's actually hurting him to have |
9339s | this um |
9343s | yeah it's so hard to do anything you |
9346s | look at zap and gold and zap in their |
9348s | cards you feel this should help you take |
9350s | out a Batman but of course they just |
9351s | take out the scallys and like you say |
9354s | it's there's not a lot else going on |
9356s | here so yeah oh this is another good |
9358s | Tech too so yeah playing a zap too |
9361s | to snipe off one of these small taunts |
9363s | and it's just gonna keep getting worse |
9366s | and worse I think for alitama as |
9368s | easily can find way more cars to help |
9371s | with this matchup than I'll take McCann |
9375s | and yeah if he had the choice I think he |
9377s | would actively choose to not have a |
9380s | quest reward anymore |
9385s | it's really weird |
9387s | yeah but uh this is um |
9390s | dignificantly more brutal than we saw |
9392s | last time around now he put the zap at |
9394s | the front |
9395s | yep it still probably won't be too much |
9398s | damage taken here though oh never mind |
9400s | there's there's more whenever I think |
9402s | it's over there's always more scary |
9404s | summons to come |
9406s | it's actually a chance this is just 30 |
9408s | damage I don't think it is because I |
9409s | think that oh no you're right there's |
9411s | always more yeah |
9414s | when uh the cowgirl and the bearings are |
9417s | golden there's just so much |
9419s | but it's finally over and actually it's |
9421s | a lot closer than I even expected |
9423s | there's only one minute surviving |
9426s | let's do it again |
9428s | one more time yeah it'd be cool to see |
9432s | um the persistence from East Leaf easily |
9434s | has a little more options to go for |
9440s | so also in the like |
9443s | on the set of easily if you could go for |
9445s | a lira as well but I think it's |
9448s | a lot less consistent in the sap is like |
9450s | maybe just end up skipping it but no |
9453s | choose the chicken anyways |
9455s | just in case it's useful |
9458s | yeah kind of out of ideas as well so |
9461s | yeah I actually get amazed studying the |
9464s | tunnel blaster for an option but the |
9466s | scallions are out of range so what's the |
9468s | point I really would have liked the |
9470s | tunnel Blaster actually because it would |
9472s | kill off |
9473s | um the module and the further but the |
9476s | one drawback to it is |
9478s | then the voiler just summons one threes |
9480s | which actually do block Skully so the |
9482s | more I think about it it might not be |
9484s | all that appealing |
9488s | like it might just be actively |
9491s | um hurting your chances to uh to win |
9493s | this next combat you know what's nice I |
9495s | think is Alex even gonna change anything |
9496s | because it looks like our team is now |
9498s | not favored you know quite strongly it's |
9501s | going to be ties or losses most of the |
9502s | way so |
9504s | yeah she's trying to work out what |
9505s | alatima might do in in response but it |
9507s | feels like other team who's |
9509s | is caught in this track where the only |
9511s | thing he can do is get rid of one of his |
9513s | big minions but if you get to his big |
9515s | minion he has got a big minion anymore |
9516s | so |
9518s | easy if just decides not to even go that |
9520s | route |
9521s | yeah and actually one thing I just |
9523s | noticed was he sold off this app because |
9525s | it doesn't actually technically snipe |
9528s | the annoying module anymore because you |
9530s | know my mother gets uh three attack or |
9532s | four attack I think which |
9534s | um the zap would only be able to pop the |
9536s | shield and then it would die |
9539s | yeah you decided that the zap is just |
9541s | not helping anymore |
9543s | but potentially the elite Roy could |
9546s | because |
9547s | um it's not blocked by Shield as Zapp is |
9551s | in this case |
9554s | not quite blocky enough in here |
9557s | again it's unclear how many more are |
9558s | gonna summon but I think |
9560s | it's a tie again it's a tie yeah five on |
9563s | five |
9565s | so it's all about |
9567s | so when we watch the next fight |
9570s | um the skellies do they Dodge the |
9573s | eventually they'll Dodge the selfless |
9575s | and then when they don't hit the |
9577s | selfless until late in the fight that's |
9578s | the fight that easily fall win |
9581s | yeah like if that stuff is just dies a |
9583s | little earlier and then the sky |
9585s | someone's good to pop Shields then uh |
9587s | wins yeah or if he dies very late and |
9591s | Ali Timo doesn't get |
9593s | many poison murlocs out of it so |
9597s | yeah |
9599s | um how does alatimo ever win |
9602s | um our Timber has to get really lucky I |
9604s | think on these fights and for the summit |
9607s | to be really really minimal but at the |
9609s | same time like because he doesn't have |
9611s | that much HP on this young Rico other |
9613s | talks van he's not really trading more |
9616s | than two for one on like on those two |
9618s | minions |
9620s | so is it worth him maybe getting another |
9622s | selfless and trying to High Roll that |
9624s | way |
9626s | um I think |
9627s | probably not I think the boilers are |
9629s | still where you want to go and you've |
9631s | actually we can see our team is |
9632s | replacing the boilers that gained attack |
9634s | from the quests with new ones that have |
9637s | lower attack |
9639s | it's come to this |
9641s | yeah |
9642s | um I'm curious to take that that |
9645s | um that voice or not take it but like |
9647s | just keep that shop Frozen because he |
9649s | might have to do the exact same thing to |
9650s | turn after yep so it might as well just |
9653s | keep it like the zap isn't going to do |
9655s | anything I don't really know what else |
9656s | he's looking for besides Maybe |
9659s | module but I think boylord is just the |
9661s | superior small talk here |
9664s | this little box people who went over |
9666s | I've definitely won their puzzle box uh |
9668s | prediction |
9669s | yeah it's now turned 20 at all yeah this |
9672s | is the first game that it was it past |
9674s | 20. I I haven't been paying enough |
9676s | attention but I just noticed how long is |
9679s | this this is definitely long so yeah |
9681s | yeah they're both just maybe not even in |
9685s | range of ducks |
9687s | be a while |
9689s | um it looks like this could be out of |
9691s | this fight |
9692s | but |
9693s | it really depends on where this hit goes |
9696s | if it goes into the 1-3 |
9698s | oh no it didn't |
9703s | right |
9705s | and this time oh but it's helpless yeah |
9708s | this time the scally sniped it |
9710s | okay it looks like our team I lost them |
9714s | also high margin yes we have to go again |
9719s | you might not even die the next uh he |
9721s | might die he's gonna die next time |
9722s | because I think the Minimate can take |
9724s | his nine from kaggar being the remaining |
9726s | minion surviving yeah it'd have to be an |
9729s | incredibly weird setup for it to be a |
9731s | scally that survived I'm sure it's |
9733s | possible because everything seems to be |
9735s | possible in this matchup but yeah |
9737s | maybe we just get to see all 500 billion |
9740s | iterations of this matchup played |
9742s | because that seems to be the way it's |
9743s | going right now is there a term limit |
9745s | like if it gets to turn 60 does the game |
9747s | right I think so I think it's past turn |
9749s | 40 though I doubt that the scheme is |
9751s | gonna reach it |
9753s | I hope it gets it's only there for if |
9756s | people are I think intentionally trying |
9758s | to uh draw the game out but now that |
9760s | these players are doing that they're |
9761s | both trying their hardest to have an end |
9764s | to this |
9767s | uh but I think we may see the exact same |
9770s | boards as before like nothing's really |
9772s | changing |
9774s | um like the only thing our team you can |
9776s | do is increase the HP of the murlocs but |
9779s | you can't do it to a point where it's |
9781s | actually impactful enough where they're |
9782s | big enough to take hits from these |
9785s | Eliza's and Baron and kaggar |
9788s | anything weird East Leaf can do other |
9791s | than put a zap back in if he finds one I |
9794s | guess |
9796s | um so the only thing that I can think of |
9797s | is this is like a really really crafty |
9800s | strategy but it would be selling off on |
9802s | these elizas because you technically |
9803s | don't need to and playing two Blaster |
9806s | and then also buffing the HP on your |
9808s | scalawags to be above seven which they |
9811s | already are right and then trying to get |
9813s | Blaster to go off to kill off the |
9816s | boilers and the second Blaster go off |
9817s | and collect the one threes and that way |
9819s | your skellies are on Unstoppable like |
9823s | they don't get blocked by anything |
9824s | because all the small towns are dead |
9827s | what's happening now oh this is this is |
9831s | a great Tech |
9832s | um so if |
9833s | our team had managed to snipe in Eliza |
9836s | then he could have maybe stopped the |
9837s | onslaught of buffed up skellies but you |
9841s | got the worst hit so I think it might be |
9843s | over now for him |
9845s | there's nothing left to block over the |
9847s | um |
9849s | yeah there's a lot of scully's work |
9850s | still to come he's gonna now start |
9853s | taking down the murlocs |
9857s | yeah the only thing I could block it is |
9859s | actually the |
9864s | oh this might put take his Divine Shield |
9866s | off one of them as well |
9868s | okay it's like |
9871s | it is finally over |
9874s | East leaf |
9876s | getting it not nothing that I would |
9879s | never have predicted that |
9881s | oh yeah easy for the Guff hardly using |
9884s | the ability later on as well |
9886s | um you made the point it was quite handy |
9890s | in what I'm going to call the middle |
9892s | game whatever that was in making sure |
9894s | the lights were big enough to survive |
9896s | for a couple of turns and some of the |
9897s | other things and buffing up the baron |
9898s | for a couple of turns but |
9900s | for the last six terms once had no hero |
9903s | power the other ones had a quest that's |
9904s | trying to hurt them it's been quite |
9905s | weird to watch |
9907s | yeah |
9908s | um because did also just kind of get |
9912s | like he got hand fed there Pirates of |
9914s | their Camp too like his two early |
9916s | triples were both Eliza and then he |
9918s | found Tony the same turn he got the |
9920s | second Eliza so lucky for him like he |
9923s | managed to find a strategy pretty early |
9925s | on and his quest is your power all right |
9928s | his quest is here part did help them you |
9930s | know get to that point as well but they |
9932s | definitely weren't pivotal parts of the |
9933s | strategy at the end his punishment for |
9936s | playing Pirate Exodia was having to |
9937s | watch that for 22 turns |
9940s | yeah but you know he's uh now happy he's |
9944s | solely made it through the next round I |
9946s | believe yeah and we will find the exact |
9949s | standings just a moment of a quick recap |
9951s | Collins was winner of our first lobby of |
9955s | the day but then with a mediocre second |
9957s | Lobby and you know coming joint last in |
9960s | game three probably hasn't made it |
9962s | through to tomorrow |
9964s | um didn't quite get stabilized this time |
9966s | around |
9968s | yeah it's a bit of a shame |
9971s | but you know you can still keep his head |
9974s | uh keep his head up and I'm sure |
9976s | there'll be more chances for him in the |
9977s | future yeah he'll be back he's one of |
9980s | those players you cannot keep away for |
9982s | sure uh penguin going down there in |
9985s | equal fifth place but having a great |
9987s | tournament so far |
9989s | leepy took the sire needing a win to |
9993s | qualify did get himself into that top |
9996s | four maybe enough we'll wait and see |
9998s | with shiroza and Collins struggling |
10001s | there |
10003s | yeah |
10005s | it's turned 16. |
10007s | I know we went through so many rounds it |
10009s | tends to happen I feel like when there's |
10011s | more locks in there's always a lot of |
10013s | very narrow winds or ties because of |
10016s | um how evenly things trade with each |
10018s | other like usually you know your minutes |
10020s | just go one for one and |
10022s | they drag on and on and there's a |
10025s | head-to-head thing as well in the uh the |
10026s | puzzle box how many turns of head to |
10028s | head wall there well that was all of |
10029s | them just in one go |
10033s | and there we have the standings sleepy |
10035s | has snuck into the top four |
10039s | oh |
10042s | wow any good results one top four and |
10046s | some mediocre mess early on and Sleepy's |
10050s | crept into Sunday |
10052s | yeah I feel really uh a good friend I |
10055s | mean because he like did try to win |
10057s | games but he didn't manage to get there |
10059s | but he still played very well um with |
10062s | what he was offered and yeah like that's |
10064s | all you have to do like you don't have |
10066s | to have any flashy results you can just |
10068s | get okay results and to get there |
10071s | every time I feel like he's had sort of |
10073s | the opposite side of this as well where |
10075s | he he's not got through in previous ones |
10078s | and you know has played well in the |
10080s | process so |
10082s | um nice to see him sneaking through |
10084s | there |
10086s | um but alatimu also at the end there |
10088s | only that second place was showing us |
10089s | what he can do always worth remembering |
10092s | in any tournament you watch if |
10093s | somebody's having a bad day they got to |
10096s | that tournament through coming top 16 on |
10099s | ladder and then going through two |
10100s | lobbies of the other people who've come |
10102s | top 16 in ladder just to get on the |
10105s | screen so don't judge people by what you |
10107s | see for the three games you see on |
10109s | screen you judge the fact they're |
10110s | actually here in the first place but |
10112s | with that group a has come to a |
10116s | conclusion so we're gonna take a break |
10118s | now a much needed break I suspect and |
10121s | get on setting up Group B we'll see you |
10122s | in about 10 minutes |

11047s | the week for doing that and I nearly did |
11049s | it myself but I am better I know where I |
11052s | am I'm at home talking about Lobby |
11054s | Legends |
11055s | um group a is over with that dramatic |
11057s | ending with sleepy finding a way into |
11059s | the top four and that means that we move |
11061s | over now to Group B where we are going |
11065s | to have the reigning Champion rim goso |
11067s | and the people's Champion xqn amongst |
11070s | other people |
11071s | um could you highlight some of the |
11072s | others for us Lee because obviously |
11074s | they're the two that are going to pick |
11075s | out easily |
11076s | um yeah so we have Peter Babbitt who is |
11079s | number one in a right now I think by |
11081s | over 500 MMR or something and here's one |
11086s | of the young priorities of the scene as |
11088s | well he's still in high school I believe |
11090s | he even mentioned he might be playing |
11091s | this tournament |
11092s | from his high school because it is |
11094s | Friday |
11095s | uh so he's one of my favorites running |
11098s | for |
11099s | um |
11100s | Matsuri is |
11102s | um like and he's a Japanese streamer who |
11105s | streams mostly on America's server and |
11107s | he's known for having multiple 24-hour |
11110s | streams like that's just his thing and |
11113s | all his streams they're titled test too |
11115s | and I'd say he's also a fan of the he's |
11118s | so many other people too |
11120s | awesome imagine it was also one of the |
11123s | first Japanese players to really make |
11125s | their Mark didn't take much longer |
11127s | before like 25 others followed but |
11129s | necessarily was the sort of the first |
11131s | one I think right in Battlegrounds to |
11133s | really get going |
11135s | um I think so after he started streaming |
11137s | I started noticing a lot more Japanese |
11139s | players when um I was playing streaming |
11142s | my own games |
11144s | um like he might have just been the |
11145s | Pioneer that made the Japanese scene as |
11147s | strong as is right now |
11150s | yeah and I agree with you on better |
11153s | um a slightly different style of play as |
11155s | well I I feel at least |
11158s | um somebody who if Sleepy's one end of |
11161s | how to learn to play Battlegrounds |
11162s | Babbitt is the exact opposite end of how |
11165s | to play Battlegrounds are both equally |
11167s | valid I would say |
11169s | uh feel free to correct me if you think |
11171s | that's wrong as well I'm happy to be I |
11173s | think I'd still stays probably a little |
11175s | more balanced and um but like he he just |
11178s | doesn't really get that many bad |
11181s | placements you kind of have to be super |
11182s | good at that if you're gonna be |
11183s | contesting number one or being number |
11185s | one as long as he has just um yeah he's |
11188s | got to learn both ends of the spectrum |
11191s | there we go the fantasy team for group |
11193s | BR picks both going for execute and of |
11195s | course you're going for the Rainy |
11198s | Champion a bit about it um pretty |
11200s | sensible stuff I'm going for lighting |
11202s | who is in his second tournament now I |
11205s | blow second final stages at least in a |
11207s | row and Matsuri for the reasons I just |
11209s | came up with as well so this is a strong |
11211s | group I like all of these picks |
11215s | yeah it's um |
11218s | I don't know I don't know if I'd say one |
11220s | is you know stronger than the other one |
11222s | but |
11223s | um I think we have a little more varied |
11225s | picks at least for this time always |
11226s | sharing X commanders last time I think |
11228s | we both had sleepy and Collins |
11231s | um but yeah I mean it's like it's also |
11235s | harder to kind of pick the players that |
11238s | we don't know as much about which but |
11240s | it's kind of been the case with some of |
11241s | these Lobby Legends where the names |
11243s | aren't as familiar and they're from |
11245s | maybe like different regions as well but |
11248s | um yeah I wouldn't be surprised if um |
11250s | the players that we didn't pick also |
11252s | just made it through as well not as well |
11254s | known but |
11255s | still rightfully deserve to be here |
11258s | yeah I've even ghostly last time winning |
11259s | uh we were told beforehand thanks Mayo |
11262s | for the help that um goes to very much a |
11265s | player who likes to sort of feast or |
11267s | famine with the play and that showed off |
11269s | last time around sort of had a couple of |
11271s | pretty bad games but also some very good |
11273s | ones and also obviously in the check |
11275s | format winning or lobbies what you've |
11276s | got to do and got that done so it's nice |
11279s | for that narrative to come out here's |
11280s | the other narrative for the people who |
11282s | still don't believe that executing is |
11283s | good at tournaments this is his what |
11286s | third or fourth finals in a row now now |
11289s | remember to get into this tournament |
11291s | kids |
11292s | you have to get top 16 on your server in |
11295s | executions case that's like every server |
11297s | but okay then you have to play against |
11299s | all the best people in the world and |
11301s | come top four out of eight over three |
11303s | lobbies no sample size bam get it done |
11306s | or go home then you have to do that |
11308s | again and then you get on broadcast and |
11311s | the worst that he has done is get |
11313s | knocked out in the second of those |
11315s | phases that's the worst he's done so for |
11318s | the people who still don't believe that |
11319s | experience is good at tournament because |
11320s | there's this myth that goes around that |
11322s | explains no good at tournaments you're |
11324s | wrong and you're idiots and you should |
11326s | feel bad and we're going to watch xqn |
11328s | take this Tournament down there you go |
11330s | yeah I think I kind of share that as |
11332s | well |
11333s | um like he's just been so consistent you |
11335s | know placing well on these qualifier |
11337s | rounds I think this definitely could be |
11340s | uh his time to shine through |
11342s | he said keep knocking away at it and |
11344s | you'll get it but after I call all our |
11346s | viewers idiots what they can do is |
11349s | obviously still pick your fancy team for |
11351s | Group B and get picking on the bandwagon |
11355s | on turn one two three and four and try |
11357s | and get more points than me and then |
11358s | we'll see who the idiot is so yeah have |
11361s | fun hope you're having fun with the The |
11363s | Tavern buddy on Twitch and see how many |
11366s | points you can get click on the bottom |
11367s | get your name register for the high |
11368s | scores and see who does the best at the |
11370s | end of the tournament so there was a |
11372s | reason to insult you all after all |
11375s | yeah and I mean if uh you do place |
11378s | higher than Lorinda then you can call |
11379s | him an idiot |
11381s | that's the first one absolutely |
11383s | at Lee Lewis nydia there you go |
11386s | I don't want to deal with I don't want |
11388s | to see it I can see that for years |
11390s | all right let's have a look what else is |
11392s | happening are we getting close to a game |
11394s | sometimes we are |
11396s | yeah uh there's one thing I also want to |
11398s | add for um as well one other fact uh |
11402s | that you may not know about him was for |
11404s | the last live Legends the one that he |
11405s | won and every single stage of that |
11408s | tournament qualifier to the finals he |
11411s | placed first in his group so four times |
11413s | he was the top uh scorer so it's |
11417s | incredibly impressive and |
11419s | um yeah I'm looking forward to see how |
11420s | he'll play this one now you've said that |
11423s | I'm gonna have a look I know that is |
11424s | true I'll have a look how he did within |
11426s | the |
11428s | within the groups within the groups if |
11430s | you like |
11431s | so on day one he came first second and |
11435s | sixth to do that part of the group |
11438s | is stage two win |
11441s | [Music] |
11444s | why are my notes so terrible somebody |
11447s | help me |
11448s | no my notes are terrible |
11453s | don't have to wait because I can't |
11455s | scroll to the right part quickly enough |
11458s | actually it's only live on earth there |
11459s | we go got it uh yeah second third and |
11461s | fourth in stage one you came |
11464s | and that goes against The Narrative of |
11466s | it being right it's getting first yeah |
11469s | and first second and third with 18 |
11472s | points in the second stage okay so |
11474s | that's first a second or third a second |
11475s | or third and a fourth a first or second |
11478s | and a sixth okay that's a lot of numbers |
11480s | that are very low |
11481s | and nine games basically you only got |
11484s | one score that was uh not top four under |
11487s | the Sixth yeah only one fourth and the |
11490s | other seven were all top threes against |
11492s | these players |
11495s | and that was his first Lobby Legend as |
11498s | well as I believe it was his first love |
11499s | religions unless he's under another name |
11501s | somewhere |
11502s | uh not a bad start |
11504s | I think mayor also mentioned he was |
11506s | pretty good at um kind of these new |
11508s | metas so that was like literally three |
11511s | or four days after a quest came out so |
11514s | now maybe the other players a little |
11516s | more on you know the same level of |
11520s | knowledge in terms how to play The Meta |
11521s | so it may be different like |
11524s | um yeah maybe other traits could prove |
11527s | to be more important like you know |
11529s | quickness of play and like kind of the |
11531s | technical |
11532s | um like minor parts of play yeah there |
11536s | are players definitely who sort of fly |
11540s | out with their own thought processes and |
11542s | others who are very good at sort of a |
11544s | bit slower picking it up from other |
11546s | people putting you all the best |
11547s | information together but weaving it all |
11549s | together very well which are you Lee I'm |
11552s | gonna put you on the spot which sort of |
11554s | play would you say you are creative or a |
11556s | grinder |
11559s | um I'd say I tend to do reasonably well |
11561s | when new meters can come out and I |
11565s | definitely have a little bit of grinder |
11567s | mentality to me as well I've had to |
11570s | choose one I guess probably more of a |
11573s | creative type like I also like to watch |
11576s | a lot of different uh players as well |
11578s | and try to you know learn from the best |
11581s | of what they do |
11582s | now that's absolutely key um even even |
11585s | at my level of play sort of picking out |
11587s | what I can from different players is far |
11589s | more important than sticking to the same |
11591s | one I think if you stick the same player |
11593s | and try and copy them you'll do okay but |
11594s | you'll never do any better than that |
11595s | player because you're just copying one |
11597s | player so why would you ever be better |
11599s | than them so stealing things from all |
11602s | kinds of people gives you a better |
11603s | chance of being more rounded I think and |
11605s | also |
11607s | finding the style that gels for your own |
11610s | play as well it's no use watching I'm |
11613s | going to keep picking over pick it watch |
11614s | sleepy all day long if you don't have |
11616s | that attitude or watching xqn all day |
11619s | long if you haven't got xqn's brain it's |
11621s | not gonna work and if you had Excellence |
11623s | brain what would you pick here Lee |
11628s | yeah I want to look at the tribes out |
11632s | um but I assume Beast might be in if um |
11635s | X can pick this one try to get an early |
11637s | Alley Cat token to swap and make some |
11640s | triples |
11641s | uh but we see again in this tire pick |
11645s | have we seen sire in every game today or |
11649s | definitely in at least two of the others |
11651s | I think that has been in every game yeah |
11655s | it's just one of those picks where oh my |
11658s | God wisdom ball with only by 10 minutes |
11661s | I think you have to right that's perfect |
11663s | yeah |
11665s | at all right it'll give you a good |
11668s | chance of giving you a Battle Cry role |
11669s | or something for your second Quest or |
11671s | whatever |
11672s | oh yeah if that works like that that |
11674s | would be incredible too just your first |
11676s | Quest helping you get there oh that'd be |
11678s | I don't think it would check the quest |
11680s | but it might I wouldn't put it past them |
11681s | but even if it doesn't it will do things |
11683s | that kind of line up with quests just |
11684s | naturally |
11686s | yeah wow wisdom ball is it's magical who |
11689s | knows how it works |
11691s | I mean we never worked out how real |
11693s | zephyrus worked in hundreds of years of |
11695s | trying |
11696s | um so yeah I can imagine that |
11699s | a piece of code must be even more |
11701s | magical yeah |
11703s | okay so hop off after that start wasn't |
11706s | that surely up to here |
11708s | yeah okay yeah |
11710s | uh he might go for this double Tipper |
11712s | then I think we saw sleepy asked to do |
11714s | this in game one but it didn't work out |
11717s | to offer him |
11718s | um I personally am not really that much |
11721s | of a believer in the double Tipper right |
11723s | now at least with the question because |
11725s | when you have double Tipper you kind of |
11727s | just want to level up and you also want |
11730s | to float gold which doesn't really help |
11732s | you uh complete quests and I do think |
11733s | quests are really important to um get |
11736s | online early and work towards |
11739s | just a reminder once again as it is new |
11741s | bandwagon is in progress right now so |
11744s | you can pick your player and change your |
11746s | mind for the first three or four turns |
11747s | first four turns but you do lose points |
11749s | if you keep changing your mind so |
11751s | something to bear in mind |
11754s | yeah I think I'm gonna go for |
11758s | uh half here just because we saw the um |
11762s | the Wonder Bar |
11765s | yeah I went for xqn of course I'm |
11767s | imaginative like that |
11770s | yeah because I saw xqn |
11774s | oh is it a double Chrome wing on uh |
11777s | repeated here with the scabs |
11780s | I don't know if this means I'll go into |
11781s | dragons but um it's probably heavily |
11784s | incentivized to take this uh red wealth |
11788s | I'm kind of curious as well |
11790s | um |
11791s | how xqn is doing with his game because |
11794s | whether or not he has a token I think |
11796s | it's going to make a big difference in |
11797s | his play right |
11801s | of course he does interesting he's gonna |
11804s | go for this early triple but |
11808s | this is one of those things where it's |
11810s | kind of an xqn uh play style thing where |
11812s | he'll usually ought to be a little |
11814s | greedier so we could see this uh Papa |
11816s | being held for another two or three |
11819s | turns potentially if he wants to go for |
11820s | a four drop or five drop off of the |
11822s | discoverer |
11824s | yeah plus you got the excuse to hold it |
11825s | anyway with the quest so all sorts of |
11827s | choices going on there yeah crazy makes |
11830s | a lot of sense here too with this uh |
11833s | Barton leveling up to tier three |
11836s | foreign |
11846s | stuff like cookbook is really pulling on |
11849s | her because you can just read by the |
11850s | same meaning over and over and apply a |
11852s | buff to it |
11853s | all seems like the same minion over and |
11855s | over yeah it takes the Smoking Gun with |
11857s | the battle cries there because he's |
11858s | gonna be playing the same minion over |
11859s | and over so that's super easy though and |
11862s | also jandis if you want to be greedy |
11864s | with her sometimes just gets a little |
11866s | bit low on minions early on so getting |
11868s | the plus five not long minions but low |
11870s | on quality |
11871s | yeah um getting the plus five might just |
11874s | help preserve that Health total to be |
11875s | greedy with those triples when they come |
11878s | this is like a really easy teal tiger |
11881s | Sapphire activation just adding six |
11882s | cards you're already doing that with uh |
11885s | your first quest of buying minions |
11887s | so I can imagine that it's probably a |
11890s | heavy consideration the two quests that |
11892s | are a little situational do though eight |
11894s | parts Elementals and I think increased |
11897s | Quest increase friendly stats is |
11899s | probably a little hard without a spawn |
11900s | on board already |
11902s | you know mentors with stolen gold don't |
11905s | gel either obviously because it's start |
11906s | of combat you can't do any hogger |
11908s | trickery or anything so |
11911s | yeah I think the all the main |
11913s | applications would be |
11915s | um Eliza 22tesk and then maybe at light |
11918s | spawned Elementals for in combat it's |
11920s | not like completely useless but um yeah |
11924s | it's not as easy as the other ones |
11927s | and did you have the catch for what um |
11930s | half end up going for here he might have |
11932s | chosen |
11933s | stalling gun |
11943s | I think Hmm I think it'd be a lot easier |
11946s | to do it now because he has the whoop |
11948s | Smuggler and the double another trick he |
11950s | might have |
11951s | um I might get six procs on this you can |
11953s | see |
11959s | um |
11961s | but yeah it looks like we're in the |
11963s | will be trying to reconnect |
11966s | um join us shortly again |
11968s | but you know it seems like hop did end |
11970s | up going for the |
11975s | 10 out of 30. hey sorry about that um I |
11978s | don't have any pictures just for a |
11979s | moment but I'm back so I'll catch up |
11980s | with what's going on in just a second |
11981s | with you what did I mean I was just |
11984s | trying to figure out what um a quest |
11986s | um |
11987s | half end up having I'm still honestly |
11990s | not too sure |
11993s | okay sorry about that yeah what happened |
11995s | but thankfully it didn't happen for long |
11997s | at least for me yeah |
11999s | um yes got we'll find out shortly |
12002s | I think xqn will probably end up holding |
12006s | for five drops here he ended up getting |
12008s | the Alley Cat super late so |
12010s | normally if you get Alley Cat on turn |
12012s | one or turn two you can hit two triples |
12014s | next turn |
12015s | but he has zero actual tokens on his |
12018s | board now |
12019s | you can just make it up with the uh the |
12021s | pup bot triple |
12023s | and did we see oh God excuse me good |
12026s | yeah of course he went for the battle |
12027s | cries I remember now I'm back |
12029s | okay everyone goes to seems to be |
12032s | tripling into a four |
12037s | very early and |
12039s | yeah I thought we can't take it was |
12041s | never a hard one to uh right you never |
12044s | said about that one |
12046s | interesting enough is also on the status |
12048s | Elemental too not the most attractive |
12050s | miniature Ball but |
12052s | uh it also has kind of good Synergy with |
12054s | Varden |
12056s | um |
12056s | zero power because maybe you can make a |
12058s | triple off of |
12060s | like say this |
12061s | um amalgam right now |
12063s | very very high chance he copies one of |
12066s | these in the next turn |
12068s | yeah weirdly he's got the 18 minions die |
12072s | for his quest so |
12075s | um that's not happening for a long long |
12077s | time |
12078s | yeah and sort of victim Specter which is |
12080s | also a good Quest reward for |
12083s | um pardon again it just makes triplings |
12085s | so easy |
12089s | Peter Babbitt going for 7 15 for |
12094s | um alter ego |
12096s | so in this lobby with Max you can try to |
12099s | go for |
12100s | just buy magnetic minions or he could |
12103s | just |
12104s | um you know if he finds good opponents |
12106s | to steal from you can just do that and |
12107s | ignore his quest as well but |
12110s | also the questroid does work with his |
12111s | hero power right doubles down on that |
12114s | yeah first look at picture today |
12118s | um board full of |
12121s | simple value cards I want to call it |
12125s | oh the tank |
12127s | um tank is very very attractive here and |
12129s | she might opt to pick the pair but now |
12132s | he just goes for the roll |
12135s | um so this is an interesting option then |
12137s | you can go for a taunt to secure more |
12139s | value on the piano tank or you can just |
12142s | go for the deflector on the Menace |
12144s | I think it'll go for |
12146s | here to see where to put it okay okay I |
12149s | like this yeah so now he's making sure |
12151s | that his tank will stay relevant |
12154s | uh because it's a reset for the defecto |
12156s | and then |
12158s | yeah like it'll still be good early game |
12159s | too because it deals five |
12164s | you got a mama and you got a baby crush |
12166s | with 30 life too he took way less damage |
12168s | than I expected for someone who held a |
12171s | golden pop bot for |
12173s | something like forever yeah returns yeah |
12178s | we'll complete the quest next turn |
12179s | that'll take away any lingering doubts |
12181s | of his minions attack as well I think |
12183s | it's next time that's just made up but |
12185s | it feels about the right time |
12187s | maybe he won't yeah |
12190s | and what's that Smoking Gun too |
12193s | um it just adds even more |
12195s | direction for this Beast comp like |
12198s | you're already going to be playing a lot |
12199s | of token into the mod bear so you just |
12201s | gets so much more oomph with every |
12203s | single uh Beast tokeny summon in combat |
12205s | so I imagine we'll just see xq on |
12207s | probably end up sticking with beasts and |
12209s | maybe looking for a reanimating redler |
12212s | to swap with the hero power |
12215s | it looks like he's in a pretty good spot |
12217s | although again |
12218s | you know this used to be a great gen to |
12220s | start and it's as things have changed |
12223s | maybe my um Radar's off a little bit but |
12225s | it does feel like a pretty good start |
12227s | even though yeah I just want to talk |
12230s | about that combat too uh because the mom |
12232s | bear got sniped he lost that combat 15. |
12236s | it's um |
12238s | yeah his baby Christmas to summon a |
12240s | 13-13 to kill off the top cleanly but |
12242s | instead both minions ended up dying |
12245s | so it's actually a little bit in the |
12248s | danger zone now yeah absolutely the |
12250s | first player had a blow cap |
12254s | and yeah I think he has no choice but to |
12256s | roll a little bit but he does have |
12258s | another five drop coming to him right |
12260s | now |
12265s | um and yeah you still need to fill up |
12266s | his board too so I think this is the |
12268s | most You're Gonna Roll if he wants to |
12270s | have a full bird |
12272s | oh interesting |
12275s | I'm not |
12277s | not quite sure why he sold off the um |
12280s | the Blaster so soon |
12282s | because he did have space to play the |
12285s | The Alley Cat moves on me she's gonna |
12288s | get the battle crys he needs if he wants |
12290s | them |
12291s | yeah you can buy the bronze word and you |
12294s | can choose between my car and |
12296s | bronzewater in here |
12298s | I think the bronze word might be a |
12299s | little stronger for now because it does |
12302s | summon another differential minion but |
12303s | the Macaw is more in the direction that |
12305s | he wants to go down |
12309s | this technical no messing around I'm |
12312s | gonna live I'll be fine |
12314s | yeah I mean he has no reason to think |
12316s | he's gonna die like he did get pretty |
12318s | unlucky in the last fight but I think |
12321s | it's super unlikely he'll take another |
12322s | 15. it's turned seven and he's he's got |
12325s | Mama Bear and stuff to back it up going |
12328s | on yeah he's pretty unlucky to take 15. |
12330s | yeah but now he might play a little |
12332s | different as compared to if he was at 16 |
12335s | life where right you would have no |
12337s | chance of dying |
12339s | so here is that |
12341s | um strategy you talked about but so he |
12343s | has used the tippers to |
12346s | get to five |
12348s | he's gonna start taking damage now this |
12349s | it needs to work pretty soon |
12352s | funny enough to |
12354s | um I'm pretty sure he tripled Alley Cat |
12356s | like |
12357s | and the last few turns because the star |
12360s | was Tipper Tipper and then he froze for |
12362s | a settlemental so the next few turns he |
12364s | bought three Alley Cats when he had zero |
12367s | of them uh on turn three |
12369s | and it worked out for him I mean he has |
12371s | a theater now |
12374s | gonna be interesting to see this blue |
12376s | con if we can have a look |
12378s | um Lighting on the next turn though |
12379s | because there was no me there the |
12382s | Specter already ready and it's turned |
12385s | seven is it too late to start no meeting |
12388s | or is it gonna be okay here because he's |
12389s | got high health |
12390s | I think it's a pretty good strategy to |
12393s | go for especially if you can find light |
12395s | spawn you can use this hero power to get |
12397s | additional Adventure procs |
12399s | and he already yeah he does have |
12402s | a lot of bench cards already he has |
12404s | light spawn for more scaling on |
12406s | Elementals and he also has crocos to |
12409s | make sure he stays strong while he |
12411s | scales these though |
12413s | yeah I'm saying that lighting probably |
12416s | has a very very good uh path forward |
12418s | here |
12420s | oh and he's |
12423s | doing the thing I wouldn't do and that |
12424s | is you know not being crazy greedy still |
12427s | taking the time to put this taunt in the |
12429s | way and just do some sensible |
12430s | Hearthstone things yeah basically his |
12433s | board I think is kind of |
12436s | um locked in right now like he has |
12438s | scaling with the Nomi and the light |
12440s | spawn he has Croc and a beast for |
12442s | strength and then the Todd to kind of |
12444s | make sure both those things work out and |
12446s | he has two spots too it's like |
12448s | Elementals for Nomi |
12450s | What's Happening Here it has got |
12452s | Avengers record basically |
12455s | Peter must have played against |
12457s | um |
12458s | lighting at some point because he has |
12460s | yeah exact same board except for his uh |
12463s | cigarettes instead |
12466s | which he's had for forever |
12468s | yeah and we saw him pick up the tank um |
12471s | off of |
12472s | the one player that got the four drop I |
12474s | forget it feels I think it's room gosu |
12476s | the Varden |
12478s | yes it was yeah yeah so if uh Peter |
12482s | Babbitt can be lucky enough to play |
12484s | against uh lighting again sometime soon |
12486s | but basically be able to steal like a |
12489s | board full of Elementals it's obviously |
12490s | very good when you know you're just |
12492s | trying to Triple Elementals to get |
12494s | strong and then also all the scaling |
12495s | that they had |
12497s | his name is Q in |
12499s | yeah now he's gonna play against a very |
12501s | very strong xq1 with Smoking Gun and a |
12504s | ton of B summons with the macaws |
12507s | yeah no sniping in a mama bear this time |
12509s | because it's hidden properly like it |
12511s | should be |
12512s | yeah this is the benefit of having such |
12514s | a big |
12515s | um |
12516s | forget the the toga from Alley Cat this |
12519s | is so big and all you can do is find a |
12520s | time to protect stuff yeah the tabby cat |
12525s | wow that's a lot |
12528s | yeah unfortunately I don't think there's |
12530s | anything that Peter wants to steal |
12532s | unless he wants to make a beast pivot |
12533s | but |
12534s | these directions already kind of little |
12536s | determined like it seems to be |
12538s | Elementals but perhaps he plays against |
12541s | another Beast player in this upcoming |
12543s | term you could make the decision to |
12545s | Pivot over to uh beasts |
12548s | but Harry definitely got this next fight |
12552s | hey back to VP |
12554s | and |
12556s | it's the worst version of what xqn's got |
12558s | going on at the moment |
12560s | yeah his quest is also the worst version |
12563s | of executions Quest |
12565s | basically yeah |
12568s | yeah another Mama's probably was looking |
12569s | for or a crackalisk yeah crushes |
12573s | it's fine yeah continues the plan of |
12575s | being slightly worse version of xq |
12577s | intervals |
12579s | yeah um this is something I think we see |
12582s | a lot of in these Beast lobbies a lot of |
12585s | people just end up playing the same |
12587s | thing and you know the better version of |
12589s | that thing will win yeah and right now |
12591s | it looks like yeah executing is probably |
12593s | the best beast player in this Lobby |
12597s | imagine |
12599s | oh oh wow oh this is the ball with the |
12601s | uh yeah it got the effect of uh copying |
12605s | the entire board |
12607s | and obviously it's very good but uh it's |
12612s | really awkward like he doesn't have |
12614s | anything he particularly wants to sell |
12615s | off except for |
12617s | maybe The Smuggler if he chooses he |
12619s | doesn't want anymore |
12621s | anyone who's crazy enough to pick yes on |
12625s | will somebody win with wisdom boots I |
12627s | think this is your one chance |
12630s | and yeah I think you were uh you were |
12632s | one who picked up I did yeah I'm crazy |
12635s | let's go for it |
12637s | starting to regret my decision a little |
12639s | bit because it doesn't |
12642s | something crazy about happened here it's |
12643s | exactly |
12647s | yeah and it seems like |
12650s | um Peter Babbitt had to go a little bit |
12652s | more in on Elementals rather than trying |
12655s | to get more bench with the uh let's Park |
12658s | which is quite a good job of it can I |
12660s | win this one yeah |
12662s | that was the transition term right so |
12664s | you expect to lose the transition turn |
12666s | to some degree yeah with damage cap |
12668s | being on too it's like you know might as |
12671s | well just lose as hard as you can but |
12672s | increases as much strength as you can |
12674s | for the next turn which he did by I |
12676s | think getting maximum value off of the |
12678s | light spot too like his light spot is |
12679s | the last one needs to die |
12682s | foreign |
12692s | might be a little too slow so I'm |
12695s | thinking maybe just want another Dina |
12696s | here |
12698s | it is you can call him out I'll forget |
12701s | him |
12703s | yeah and um I guess I'm a hot fan but |
12706s | yeah |
12706s | um |
12707s | at this point he has so much passive |
12710s | scaling with all the end of turn instead |
12712s | of combat uh dragon effects this point |
12715s | he may just want to try to use wisdom |
12717s | ball to get more triples of the copies |
12719s | of minutes he already has so I could see |
12721s | razor Gordon promo Drake being |
12723s | um tripled maybe in the future |
12727s | is it worth taking his tarek like |
12730s | probably is like so maybe you don't |
12732s | commit to an adenas but you just play |
12733s | one Edina and you scale double taric and |
12737s | razor Gore |
12738s | and you might have to remove the |
12741s | upstairs now but you can get a free HP |
12745s | on this Reservoir if you play it first |
12747s | and there we go we see that's quite an |
12750s | interesting selection of cards |
12754s | you know what effect that is exactly in |
12756s | uh with the ball |
12759s | how would you get that exact selection |
12761s | the middle three are obvious well not |
12763s | obvious but they're utility right yeah |
12766s | Peggy I have no idea and obviously the |
12768s | Terex base on your board but exact how |
12771s | the Peggy ends up there I don't know |
12774s | it's so strange because I've seen like |
12776s | the tech card um roll which is like |
12778s | Baron like zap Uther Leroy |
12782s | um Baron yeah and I've seen like ones |
12784s | that help you with the comp you already |
12786s | had but that was extra random selection |
12788s | of cards |
12790s | yeah maybe the ball gets a bit confused |
12792s | and yeah |
12794s | Peggy's the weird one like the other |
12795s | four just makes sense to some extent the |
12798s | Peggy is like when is that ever useful |
12799s | unless you've got Pirates maybe yeah |
12801s | maybe it gives you a chance to change |
12804s | comp |
12806s | but hey maybe you don't like these |
12807s | amazing dragons maybe you want to play |
12809s | Pirates here yeah it's like a hedge you |
12811s | get one dragon and one random tribe a |
12815s | few scary cards |
12817s | but that's the story that we're saying |
12819s | where basically |
12821s | um the scabs or rookity is a worse |
12823s | version of guns built |
12826s | and yeah something like the Highlight |
12828s | too is um |
12829s | it seems like a student's pivoting over |
12831s | to a cauldron build instead of the build |
12834s | he was before which was like a mod bear |
12836s | essential builds I think it's something |
12838s | we see a lot of in these tournaments |
12840s | where |
12841s | it's kind of hard to improve as a just |
12844s | like be summon |
12845s | um comp so some sometimes you pivot over |
12848s | to a different Beast comp which is like |
12849s | leapers or culture build |
12853s | we'll be there see didn't quite have it |
12856s | going on nearly but |
12858s | um the excretion Switcheroo working well |
12862s | first look at emo |
12864s | um who's leading the lobby at the moment |
12867s | on this Deathwing |
12869s | yeah and |
12871s | me actually even be competitive against |
12874s | what uh excuse doing he also has a good |
12877s | strategy like we saw on sleepys I think |
12880s | last game |
12881s | super sleepy had Smoking Gun and animal |
12884s | bribe in this case it's anima bribe and |
12886s | definitely hero power |
12887s | every single mini cell has an additional |
12889s | 2 attack from the death and hero power |
12891s | that's why he has so many high attack |
12893s | mechs right now |
12895s | before one thing I really like about the |
12897s | quest at the moment is |
12899s | um like what you've just described there |
12901s | there's so many instances that you can't |
12903s | memorize them all there's so many little |
12905s | sort of synergies between quests and |
12908s | Boards like this is a fairly obvious one |
12909s | but the more you play the more you |
12911s | discover weird stuff that you didn't |
12913s | expect to see uh that works with the |
12916s | quests |
12918s | I like that like we can always be |
12920s | surprised by new combinations of hero |
12923s | powers and quests |
12926s | and yeah this is |
12927s | um |
12928s | it's just like such a strong board to |
12931s | play to like all the all the Minions are |
12933s | super high attack good Divine Shields |
12935s | and because execute pivoted over to |
12939s | um the more golden based build instead |
12941s | of the token one I think he's gonna be |
12943s | disadvantaged here like here |
12946s | he'll be fine yeah a huge hide which |
12948s | just magically appear in the middle of |
12950s | the board it'll be okay there could be |
12951s | uh |
12954s | let's see |
12956s | the good thing about |
12958s | um the situation though is Mexican |
12959s | probably won't end up dying because the |
12963s | weakness of the strategy does very |
12964s | little damage |
12966s | right and it's interesting actually |
12968s | you're saying about you know the |
12968s | weakness of the strategy not doing much |
12970s | damage because that is something |
12972s | very much overlooked in |
12975s | Battlegrounds in general and it matters |
12977s | a lot tomorrow with the check format |
12979s | when you're trying to stop someone from |
12980s | winning a lobby as well oh my God here |
12983s | we see um kind of nightmare situation |
12986s | where baby Crush gets attacked over and |
12988s | over and yeah it's actually a tie it's a |
12991s | tie that feels like a robbery |
12994s | a little bit yeah |
12996s | lighting goes out oh no |
13002s | yeah I think it may have been the issue |
13004s | of there's a lot of stats on the board |
13005s | but not enough actual strong minions |
13010s | or xqn with yeah it's the ghost oh |
13015s | Hydra parrot oh my goodness it's just |
13019s | about everything |
13020s | yeah and one interesting thing too is he |
13023s | opted to not use his hero power to try |
13024s | to swap into a free because he wants the |
13026s | Marburg buff and in this case if you got |
13030s | um |
13030s | Uther you know you can swap that instead |
13032s | which is going to be a great play he now |
13035s | will have a big Hydra like he predicted |
13037s | also super relevant obviously that he um |
13040s | targeted the Hydra in the shop before he |
13044s | gets buffed by the mama bear to get the |
13045s | extra plus five |
13047s | yes and that would be a 2020 |
13050s | and he can do it |
13052s | um with another Hydra in the shop they |
13053s | can't do it with the same one that he |
13054s | just bought because it'll be already a |
13056s | 2020. |
13057s | I think we saw what happened to lighting |
13060s | here got an idea what might have |
13062s | happened to him oh that's the worst |
13064s | feeling when you play against a test |
13066s | here's a better version of you you get |
13068s | killed by them and then they basically |
13070s | feed off a few corpse yeah I think |
13072s | that's exactly what happens |
13075s | like Peter got this golden know me while |
13077s | being on tier four I'm sure two of them |
13080s | were from hero powering and then one he |
13082s | probably tripled into with uh these two |
13085s | golden Elementals |
13087s | and well that's it set for better |
13090s | there's no |
13092s | no murloc so what can beat him here big |
13095s | big beasts if I'd say um probably a |
13098s | leapfrogger build or if xqn can get more |
13102s | pieces for that culture build say Baron |
13104s | and more premium base he might have a |
13107s | chance but |
13108s | I think Peter might be the favorite to |
13111s | win this game now because he has so much |
13113s | scaling and Elementals have a lot of |
13115s | tech cards that can |
13117s | um help beat some of those comps that |
13118s | you listed |
13120s | yeah obviously the death Wing is doing a |
13123s | pretty good job here actually fighting |
13124s | him as well |
13126s | yeah it's actually uh oh wow I lost |
13130s | wow wow wow that didn't feel like a loss |
13133s | but now he's going to go nutty of course |
13134s | with the golden Nomi and the Frozen |
13136s | shot he's gonna steal a cyclone as well |
13142s | oh Ty wait |
13144s | yeah I always say so executing oh my God |
13148s | what's Happening Here |
13150s | the the Spartan is |
13153s | U okay so xq died to okay yeah so yeah |
13158s | it's the picture if TJ could you just |
13160s | switch away briefly because the um the |
13163s | picture's blown up awesome thank you |
13167s | it wasn't executing well spotted there |
13170s | executing did actually die in that fight |
13171s | you can switch back now at your leisure |
13173s | TJ is cool |
13177s | but yeah I'm looking at the the vardance |
13180s | board it's |
13181s | pretty interesting okay let's solve that |
13183s | we're gonna get it |
13185s | such a collection of random stuff |
13188s | we saw here I'm taking that uh amalgam |
13191s | triple off of the Golden State's earlier |
13193s | on and he just happened to find a golden |
13194s | gold Gerber to to go with it but it's |
13198s | not really like a first place build I'd |
13200s | say |
13202s | but it's also not weak at all too |
13206s | um in this case I'd say with the the |
13208s | unstable cool or the um tunnel blasters |
13211s | that stabilize the shield situation I'd |
13213s | say probably Rim goes to |
13216s | interesting decision for emo here in the |
13218s | long run |
13219s | um |
13220s | chance to make a giant putt bot because |
13223s | at some point these 22 attack things |
13226s | just aren't big enough anymore so making |
13227s | it giant feels attractive yeah I thought |
13230s | he might do that |
13232s | yeah I don't know how big the fact is oh |
13235s | what the that's massive oh |
13237s | now I wish I could switch my pick |
13238s | because |
13239s | I didn't see how big it was |
13243s | what a shame |
13245s | uh but the issue that Emo's running into |
13247s | is he doesn't have a reset for the |
13249s | defectors yet so it's okay any reset |
13252s | value here it may still be um |
13256s | Mr Beer room ghost's Victory here |
13260s | yeah |
13261s | he's smaller minions get value traded by |
13264s | everything else |
13265s | you could actually take a lot here |
13267s | because the um |
13270s | yeah I could do a lot of damage but as |
13272s | it happens it didn't end up doing that |
13274s | and the funny thing is |
13276s | um you must hear a pirates working |
13278s | against them right now those plus three |
13280s | attack on which token Beast just |
13282s | did not help them at all |
13288s | kind of got his uh Advantage like just |
13291s | removed from the tunnel blaster |
13293s | the Huff with the wisdom ball sort of |
13296s | really got going well and then it hit a |
13300s | wall and I found this with the wisdom |
13302s | boy it's really good for |
13305s | the first couple of times it helps you |
13307s | and then it doesn't know what to do |
13309s | because it's already helped you get your |
13311s | comp but it just keeps offering you |
13312s | triples of things you don't want triples |
13313s | of and so on because right you haven't |
13315s | tippled them for a reason |
13318s | like basically a half um |
13320s | it's already kind of capped this comp |
13322s | the only minion he has that he wants the |
13324s | golden is this taragosa |
13327s | how much money is he just giving him I |
13329s | think it's so much |
13332s | it rolled the other three and then it |
13334s | put the two um totalans on there |
13336s | afterwards as well the way it did it |
13337s | it's just giving him like a million gold |
13339s | yeah I kind of wonder if the play is to |
13342s | roll a little bit with the turtleian on |
13344s | board so you can copy that potentially |
13346s | around the effects it's like a small |
13348s | thing but I think it would help you get |
13350s | a little more money to play with |
13353s | in this case |
13355s | I think probably half needs a tunnel |
13358s | Blaster oh he found the triple this |
13361s | could be a gas car maybe |
13363s | at this point there might not be much |
13365s | else you want like you definitely don't |
13366s | want that in a Dina triple |
13368s | yeah |
13370s | yeah but he's opting to go for a little |
13371s | more scaling with the um price promo |
13374s | Drake |
13375s | not the not the worst thing but it's |
13377s | also just not very impactful for this |
13380s | fight and we're already at the top four |
13381s | stage so |
13383s | it's going like that typically it |
13385s | doesn't matter very much |
13386s | I feel like he's got in the um the |
13388s | situation where it's not great but also |
13391s | there's nothing better so do the not |
13393s | correct thing |
13395s | yeah |
13396s | um in this case |
13398s | yeah it seems like the dragons probably |
13401s | won't get through here he has the nasty |
13403s | combo of uh a taunted mackerel with a |
13407s | bunch of divine Shields so |
13408s | basically a lot of uh offsets got a |
13411s | little bit negated there |
13413s | just by uh the necklace they need to |
13417s | just get decent hits in the right places |
13419s | just to not take a lot of damage here |
13420s | and hasn't got them |
13423s | yeah Winston bar personally couldn't get |
13426s | there |
13427s | and yeah I think it feels playing a |
13428s | different |
13429s | um comp that enabled him to scale more |
13433s | with Whistler ball hits he'd be in a |
13434s | better spot but dragons don't really do |
13436s | that it feels like Elementals murlocs or |
13438s | Pirates I think he would yeah be in a |
13441s | much better spot |
13443s | there's going to be Emo who has |
13446s | to set up the |
13449s | the cursive Mercury which you don't see |
13451s | that much anymore I don't think you see |
13453s | it a lot of course versus what must be |
13455s | some absolute giant Elementals by now |
13458s | the elements are Boris to be insane and |
13460s | um I think Peter knows very much that uh |
13463s | the opposing board is going to have a |
13465s | lot of divine Shields so I think Peter |
13467s | is going to have a tunnel Blaster and a |
13469s | bunch of really big |
13471s | um Elementals it should be favored here |
13474s | but anything can still happen with uh |
13476s | deflector if it manages to get multiple |
13478s | resets which email could enable with |
13481s | this mummy |
13482s | um it could still be Emo's game |
13485s | yeah 8847 is a lot it just depends |
13487s | exactly how huge these are |
13489s | yeah and one thing I want to point out |
13491s | as well is even if there's a ton of |
13494s | blaster on the end because email has a |
13495s | 7-3 Harvest column if tunnel Blaster |
13498s | hits these uh defectors get reset |
13500s | immediately so he doesn't have to |
13502s | reposition to play around tunnel Blaster |
13504s | he's okay just doing this |
13507s | spot |
13508s | yeah it's also opting to not level up |
13510s | even the cost zero because I think he |
13512s | just wants the fun magnetic to make big |
13515s | with animal bread |
13517s | I think the mid hundreds like 150 150 is |
13520s | kind of the eyeballed cutoff Point here |
13523s | if these Elementals about 150 150 I'd |
13525s | say that's balanced give or take there's |
13527s | a very rough number pulled straight out |
13529s | of my bottom but yeah any bigger than |
13531s | that I'd fancy bitter to be in a better |
13533s | spot |
13535s | um yeah I mean it is not |
13537s | that big but this Wildfire is gonna you |
13540s | know take up the macro and the reset too |
13542s | which is super important emo needed that |
13547s | in this point the Cyclone just cleans up |
13549s | everything yeah crazy |
13553s | and I believe that's uh enough if he's |
13557s | tier five |
13559s | no |
13561s | no |
13563s | but yeah the issue is um emo can't |
13565s | really improve that much you can only |
13567s | make a bigger deflective magnetic in the |
13569s | shop while beater |
13570s | has 90 90 Elementals in the shop right |
13574s | now you can um replace like this molten |
13578s | rock with a bigger minion right you can |
13580s | try to make a triple as well there's |
13581s | just so many ways for him to improve |
13583s | he's also holding this um this pair of |
13586s | amalgam too to Triple for double stats |
13589s | on it |
13592s | okay and yeah just going for a little |
13595s | more strength the magnetic that got |
13596s | buffed up by Alter Ego so again same |
13599s | position but |
13601s | yeah like beaters just has upper hand |
13603s | here |
13605s | getting the use of his shield first up |
13607s | before everything gets shielded up |
13610s | um is there any way you can use I mean |
13612s | you can roll past it so the answer is no |
13614s | but why can't you use a selfless in this |
13615s | position is it just not worth it |
13618s | um I'd say it's not worth it because if |
13620s | you're gonna play a selfish you might as |
13622s | well just play a big omelette from the |
13624s | shop right um You can give a shield to a |
13626s | big Elemental but you'd prefer to have a |
13629s | big Elemental than a shield because the |
13632s | shield can easily pops by small mech |
13634s | minions but an element has to be killed |
13636s | off completely and every single |
13638s | Elemental on this board I think |
13640s | basically trades two for one with um |
13642s | EMA's board except for that one big |
13644s | Defector |
13646s | it's yeah it's more like when you have |
13648s | golden surface or when you only have |
13650s | minions |
13652s | if you only have like poison Minions |
13654s | that can right trade then you want to |
13656s | protect those but if the minutes that |
13658s | you buy are bigger than your opponents |
13659s | you might just take a million |
13661s | should you make sense |
13663s | all right putting it back |
13667s | yeah |
13669s | oh wow yeah he did get rid of his |
13672s | Harvest gone reset though he made I |
13675s | think he had some of the big um cycle |
13677s | instead but it's not gonna be enough the |
13680s | beader ticks down at this first Lobby |
13683s | yep |
13685s | pretty easily after he got rolling it |
13687s | looks like he won a fairly close one we |
13689s | never we didn't get to see it |
13690s | unfortunately but in the sort of the |
13691s | know me off uh must have been quite |
13693s | close early on but then obviously that's |
13697s | that he then got the golden homie from |
13699s | the fight and was just a numbers game no |
13702s | murlocs in the lobby so numbers good um |
13706s | xqn didn't quite get the comp built with |
13708s | the beasts and no one else really was in |
13711s | danger challenging so bitter with a |
13713s | great start I think is the first time |
13715s | we've seen him you should know this but |
13717s | uh I think for the second time he played |
13720s | in a previous one I think he made the |
13721s | finals of that one |
13723s | yeah he did because spot and that was in |
13726s | the third one so |
13729s | the fourth yeah sorry and um we can |
13733s | check off the puzzle box of will a |
13735s | player win a game without reaching the |
13736s | tavern tier 6 beta won it I believe on |
13739s | tier four you'd only have to go to tier |
13741s | five oh wow yeah |
13743s | good point |
13745s | um Elemental is obviously one of those |
13746s | reasons to do that uh Pirates APN Parts |
13750s | tends to go to six at the end doesn't it |
13752s | because you've reduced the tab and so |
13753s | often that you just get zero Mana go to |
13755s | tier six because you can yeah that's |
13758s | absolutely shop size yeah you have so |
13761s | much money that like at the end of your |
13764s | turn you might as well just love the |
13766s | look because what else are you gonna |
13767s | spend it on |
13768s | you have like uh just way more money |
13770s | than you can spend and it makes your |
13772s | shop bigger just to make it even more |
13774s | sort of choice for you because you're |
13776s | looking for self-rises and things so you |
13778s | want the bigger shops |
13779s | uh fewer roles and so on so yeah |
13783s | um I do uh |
13785s | yeah I do want to give a shout out also |
13787s | to Emo's deathly in this game |
13790s | um I feel like it's always a good hero |
13792s | for these tournaments it's not flashy at |
13794s | all but it very frequently gets top two |
13797s | or top three and that's kind of happened |
13799s | here right like you had a game plan of |
13801s | um creating some big Divine children |
13803s | ends with resets |
13805s | but the scaling wasn't quite there to |
13807s | beat the first place player but it was a |
13809s | very very convincing second place |
13811s | yeah |
13813s | um normally I find with Heroes like |
13815s | Deathwing that when you start losing you |
13817s | keep losing but he he went out in front |
13819s | like you would and only slowly really |
13822s | started losing his health after that |
13824s | point really was very strong throughout |
13826s | like you say he's probably never winning |
13827s | at the end but you know very nicely done |
13830s | so death Winger hero I I've always found |
13834s | difficult to play that was a very |
13835s | destructive game to see yeah it's like a |
13838s | different way of thinking about the game |
13840s | like instead of stats mattering as much |
13843s | you kind of think of it as like early |
13845s | game how many minions are you gonna have |
13847s | fight for you because they very |
13849s | frequently just trade one for one with |
13851s | early minions so it's more about like |
13853s | how much can you summon versus how much |
13854s | stats can you make |
13856s | and when you do mix that you just add |
13858s | them to you know your best minions |
13861s | riding Champion Rim goes through there |
13863s | getting that tie for third place the |
13866s | Highlight there apart from the obvious |
13867s | of bit about it winning it so |
13870s | um on for another third place we talked |
13872s | about how many times he didn't come in |
13874s | outside the top three already well |
13877s | there's another one so that's now |
13881s | I don't even know because we didn't even |
13882s | look at his finals but yeah in all the |
13884s | qualifying things that would be eight |
13885s | times out of ten |
13887s | um top three |
13888s | uh but we are going to see how he does |
13890s | in the next one in just a moment we're |
13892s | going to get that set up we're going to |
13894s | take a break and we're going to be back |
13895s | in about three minutes so don't go |
13897s | anywhere and have a think about who |
13899s | you're gonna pick for your bandwagon |
13901s | game number five |

14100s | welcome back everybody to Lobby Legends |
14102s | Castle northria we're now in group b and |
14106s | about to get to the halfway stage if you |
14107s | can have a half of three as we move into |
14110s | game number two |
14112s | um anything of note from game one Lee |
14115s | um whether it's to do the players or the |
14118s | builds we saw |
14120s | um yeah I think it was pretty um it was |
14123s | a pretty standard sort of game where I |
14125s | feel like a lot of people were going for |
14127s | mid-game strategies and it mostly did |
14130s | pretty well but you know if everyone |
14132s | goes for it you know there's going to be |
14133s | some people that fall off that's what we |
14135s | saw with the scabs repeating last |
14139s | even you know falling short of top four |
14143s | but then yeah we did see like some |
14145s | successful versions that too with Emo's |
14147s | Deathwing and then at the end |
14149s | um it was like a scaling sort of cop |
14151s | that won the lobby but I do also have |
14155s | some of that like I probably think that |
14157s | the test here power stealing you know me |
14159s | and light spawn is something to do with |
14160s | it yeah absolutely sorry I'm trying to |
14163s | work out who the one in four people are |
14165s | that didn't pick xq in |
14168s | you rebels like it's it's a lot of the |
14171s | favorites I feel like the uh the big |
14172s | streamers on on Twitch like exclusion |
14175s | Peter and Missouri |
14177s | and then Rim goes to coming at a close |
14179s | uh fourth as well yep no I see lighting |
14181s | getting a decent percentage there |
14183s | someone we don't know much about but we |
14186s | saw in play last time so nice to see um |
14189s | returning players getting the pick but |
14190s | yeah Rim goes to also like joking |
14193s | excretion Jokes Aside with him goes to |
14195s | 35 that's at a very low number of picks |
14199s | this this person is good at uh |
14201s | Battlegrounds yeah I'll see if you can |
14204s | keep up with strand of only leading the |
14206s | lobbyists as well |
14208s | yeah absolutely and I think we're going |
14210s | to get into the game pretty quickly this |
14212s | way around I don't know why I said that |
14213s | because that's always the wrong thing to |
14215s | say absolutely stupid but |
14218s | um let's see if we can gosu can get yet |
14221s | another top three okay that was a 3.5 |
14224s | but we're not going to argue |
14231s | yeah I think I'm also just gonna look |
14232s | out for Emo's performance as well since |
14235s | I do know that um he was the only one of |
14238s | the four Chinese players would not make |
14239s | it around but he has a very strong start |
14241s | so far |
14243s | uh is ticket is a pick here I I don't |
14246s | like tickets but I know that good |
14247s | players do tend to like tickets yeah I |
14250s | think it's ticker this year you can um |
14252s | get Secrets since then and there's nagas |
14253s | in but I'll beat it goes for the rocking |
14257s | issue which I would have never uh |
14259s | yeah I really thought of but just to |
14261s | reword this position it has gone for |
14264s | eight armor right |
14267s | um also I think |
14269s | yeah I don't know I don't know what the |
14271s | reasoning here is |
14273s | um |
14274s | yeah the extra armor does help with the |
14276s | quest but there's no Mexicans you can't |
14278s | buff up like uh macro deflector too much |
14281s | although with the recent change you |
14283s | probably want to hear a power |
14284s | um higher tour minions and this is a |
14287s | Finley pick with berov akazam and I |
14291s | think it was um |
14294s | it's okay |
14295s | takes us for the beer off yeah |
14298s | I always like better off with the nagas |
14300s | in |
14302s | yeah I mean I like bow of a lot I've |
14304s | just found it like you're saying earlier |
14305s | it's got easier I found it a lot harder |
14306s | to predict what's happening at the |
14307s | moment because my patterns are all |
14309s | broken |
14311s | um before you knew that Reno was going |
14313s | to stay on one try and hit a triple go |
14315s | to four blah blah blah you what people |
14316s | gonna do on giving turns but now the |
14318s | quests anyone might do anything at any |
14320s | given time I know that's not true but |
14322s | that's how it feels |
14324s | yeah I'd say like the one thing is like |
14328s | sometimes you just see one person to |
14329s | their quest one person didn't |
14331s | and then you'll just tend to yeah for |
14333s | the one who has the quests that's like |
14335s | the one thing I think that may be easier |
14336s | but then when they both had the quest |
14338s | done and you don't know exactly when |
14339s | they got it done because it's hard to |
14341s | track that then you're kind of shrug and |
14343s | you know just pick a hero for me this is |
14346s | a galacond because galicom is going to |
14348s | sell one for sure and might have might |
14350s | do anything yeah I kind of feel like |
14355s | um |
14356s | it might be either of them because I |
14359s | think they both tend to hear power on |
14360s | one |
14362s | though it could be actually though |
14364s | galicorn has fewer cars to choose from |
14366s | because they can't refresh the |
14368s | thing so myev's the better pick then |
14373s | um they actually get a choice of cards |
14374s | are they actually get a refresh |
14377s | yeah I think that does make sense |
14380s | yeah yeah |
14385s | but yeah it looks like |
14387s | um yeah my app was the better pick here |
14391s | kind of interesting I don't I don't |
14393s | think we're invested here powered one so |
14395s | that's the one thing as well if you |
14397s | don't hear a pattern one on Maya then |
14398s | you are just stronger than galakron but |
14400s | if you both hear power then you're on |
14402s | the same um |
14405s | obviously yeah and what we didn't see |
14406s | there was you know lighting would have |
14408s | gone through |
14409s | yeah just checking what they had on the |
14411s | board and it would have a better idea if |
14413s | there's Beasts for instance for the |
14414s | tokens and so on but yeah |
14416s | yeah so one thing that I was in a series |
14420s | um |
14421s | this may have is kind of like a pick for |
14423s | Rim ghost's playstyle I think might have |
14426s | got a little bit worse with Quest then |
14427s | because you don't necessarily want to |
14429s | force a tier 6 triple immediately right |
14431s | so I mean if you're a greedy player that |
14434s | likes to win a lot you know Maya is |
14436s | still a perfect pick for you |
14438s | the Huff just took it |
14440s | yeah you took uh Kath uh Catherine here |
14442s | with two Weavers I I always like these |
14445s | like unconventional galatron picks it |
14448s | really showcases you know a player's |
14449s | ability to be flexible and this is just |
14452s | a good example of that yeah he also half |
14454s | did come equal third in the first game |
14456s | which may be an influencer here |
14459s | um meaning that he'll quite happily take |
14460s | a fourth place here which you know this |
14463s | is a sort of such a high Tempo start |
14465s | he's in for a good chance of being in a |
14467s | good spot |
14468s | yeah I also like |
14470s | um demons a lot right now since a lot of |
14473s | the quests kind of buff up the sharp and |
14474s | demons eat sharp so you can see half |
14477s | maybe picking a quest reward that fits |
14479s | that playstyle |
14485s | do any of these stand out for you |
14488s | um I mean anime bribe always stands out |
14490s | triggering five death battles though |
14492s | could be really awkward depending what |
14493s | was in the shot I shops uh tier one so |
14496s | it won't be |
14497s | I think I don't want the other two I |
14499s | think I take the bribe and see where I |
14500s | end up and then try and buff my shops |
14502s | later on with overseers and then just |
14504s | make my bribe crazy |
14506s | yeah I think he also doesn't have a |
14508s | great board to buy that turn |
14511s | um but I could see him also maybe going |
14513s | for a tiny henchman if he just wants to |
14515s | secure top four because he mentioned he |
14517s | did |
14518s | um right place three third fourth |
14521s | uh smoking guns declining |
14524s | no shame this is your last chance for |
14528s | the bandwagon you've got 50 seconds left |
14530s | everybody |
14532s | if you want to change your mind because |
14534s | you don't have to change your mind |
14535s | change your mind does cost you points |
14539s | maybe you saw something you hated or |
14540s | something you really liked |
14543s | I'm gonna go for execute on this time |
14546s | just because I'm a fan of the bulletin |
14548s | pick |
14551s | wow |
14554s | all in on demons there's gonna go pretty |
14556s | well |
14556s | yeah I mean I think it just makes sense |
14558s | at this point I like that um Girl Crown |
14561s | can easily search for the important |
14563s | demons as well you can go for |
14566s | um |
14568s | you can go for like a fell bat or um a |
14571s | doomsayer off of the hero power and |
14573s | really snowball those demons |
14577s | oh yeah executing here with the hold on |
14579s | both minions |
14582s | uh I understand the hold on the Mind |
14585s | muck but |
14586s | I'm wondering what he's trying to hold |
14588s | the sparring partner for if he gets |
14590s | maybe a impossible trickster you can |
14595s | taunt up that but it may just be best to |
14598s | play the the taunt for the sake of |
14600s | having an extra 3-2 it was a costume a |
14603s | costly hold though |
14605s | yeah like it's just so hard to anything |
14611s | particularly useful but |
14614s | see some of the quests already Matsuri |
14616s | on the prakon has spent 40 gold for |
14618s | getting Naga so very clear Direction |
14621s | there without having to go out of his |
14623s | way next to you and just rolling down |
14626s | for |
14628s | demons |
14629s | feels like so much potential on his |
14631s | board with the snail cavalries |
14634s | with the volunteer power but |
14636s | not able to hit a single spell craft and |
14639s | I think that was five shops you saw |
14643s | and not even a buff up either |
14646s | seeing an entire minion right |
14649s | yeah so it is in the same spot as it was |
14653s | before like he only bought one mini in |
14655s | that turn |
14657s | um yeah it'll be interesting to see what |
14659s | his quest is soon because it's probably |
14662s | the deciding fact on whether or not he |
14664s | wants to |
14667s | wait oh he's selling off everything just |
14671s | to get it done |
14673s | this Quest is Battle cries okay |
14676s | I'm really curious what this reward is |
14677s | like that was |
14679s | this is a lot |
14681s | and he's refusing to play the oh that's |
14684s | because Red Hands okay spelling Point |
14686s | okay yeah that makes sense okay yeah if |
14688s | your requirement is just uh |
14690s | play Battle Christ then yeah it makes a |
14693s | lot sense to roll down for it |
14694s | even so that was an absolutely painful |
14698s | turn he's stuck on Tavern two |
14700s | this is gonna be |
14702s | such painful losses like the board just |
14705s | gets sniped by Red Wolves |
14708s | me take |
14709s | oh God it's the full port of damage |
14711s | you're nearly 15. not quite yeah you |
14716s | know I integrate my uh my pick a little |
14718s | bit on |
14720s | skewan but uh you can always turn it |
14722s | around |
14723s | oh especially that picked area |
14726s | it just shifted away but um you can swap |
14729s | the sparring partner with the trickster |
14731s | and then even ton it up with the spark |
14733s | part in hand so it kind of did pay off |
14736s | having the tie in hand for that long |
14738s | let's have a look at the state of this |
14739s | brand that TJ's dug up for us I've got a |
14742s | feeling it's going to be |
14744s | pretty crazy yeah this is such a strong |
14747s | cooked book |
14748s | um he's only got buy 10 minions and it's |
14750s | cooked books so he's just gonna buy |
14752s | money here and run it all through |
14753s | yeah you can buy this Warren of all this |
14756s | is awesome money and then maybe buying |
14758s | an argon to buff up in the future since |
14760s | he has a brand built I could see him |
14762s | signed the 2-3 here and buying both |
14764s | those minions |
14766s | but he made stuff to hold maybe the |
14768s | amalgam in hand as well |
14770s | and this is early enough right like |
14771s | cooked book is one that you've got to be |
14773s | careful of because if it gets a bit gets |
14775s | away from you you're only using it |
14776s | really as a put instance fell back bait |
14780s | or cars of such nature but here it might |
14782s | be early enough just to go straight up |
14783s | I'm a Nomi go |
14786s | uh yeah it's one of those strategies |
14788s | where you kind of want to stay down but |
14791s | I feel like sometimes it's bad as well |
14793s | because if you go up and you're able to |
14795s | hit cards that are free or like cheaper |
14797s | like roof Explorer and look out then you |
14801s | can release the snowball Cook's book and |
14802s | I think we might see um the brand go for |
14805s | that later just uh maybe in the future |
14807s | when he's completed his quest |
14810s | magazine here |
14812s | um Quest completion is uh fins along the |
14816s | way with Naga with spending 40 gold |
14819s | and Naga been pretty dangerous when |
14821s | you're getting two of them every turn |
14822s | because they synergize probably better |
14823s | than any other subscribe apart from |
14826s | murlocs I would say yeah I'd say so |
14828s | because some of them give you a spell |
14830s | and then some of the scaling cards are |
14832s | you know play spells or spellcraft |
14835s | but um yeah unfortunately not the best |
14839s | Quest requirement for brewcon I feel |
14841s | like broken is very strong right now |
14843s | specifically because some of the quest |
14845s | requirements are like summon or you know |
14847s | have random in his diet which brukandas |
14849s | Sawa the elemental |
14851s | um |
14852s | question yeah it is one of the highest |
14855s | win rate Heroes |
14856s | yeah and um interestingly enough on |
14859s | Peter Babbitt's side he chose the tempo |
14862s | Quest reward and the tempo um |
14865s | like composition too he has bird buddy |
14868s | with a bunch of beasts |
14870s | yeah and has done it on turn six with |
14873s | the because armor right this is what we |
14875s | were talking about at the start |
14877s | yeah |
14878s | and he's probably just gonna go for a |
14880s | safe top four and I like the fact that |
14883s | his build can easily transition to a |
14885s | leapfrogger build too because he has |
14886s | cira and rat pack already |
14890s | yes looking good for Peter to finish |
14892s | strong following his first place |
14896s | what is this |
14898s | this is tier four so it's not quite as |
14901s | bad as it looks |
14903s | but I mean this doesn't look very good |
14905s | either yeah this is |
14906s | one of those Heroes that |
14909s | I think you pick sometimes in these |
14910s | Lobby Legends tournaments but you're |
14912s | never really happy to do it it's just |
14914s | like |
14915s | well I just don't wanna |
14917s | have a bad placement so I'm gonna play |
14919s | this hero that you know |
14921s | yeah it doesn't top eight but doesn't |
14924s | really do much better than that |
14926s | though what's his plan from here stay on |
14928s | four try to be murlocs hope |
14931s | yeah I think the game plan might be to |
14934s | stay on four and try to make poison |
14937s | murlocs because it is a good Lobby for |
14940s | it or he might just level up to five and |
14942s | try to find life anger brand like he's |
14944s | very well suited to Menagerie right |
14946s | because |
14948s | um mythrex got removed which is a menage |
14950s | unit that scaled up tribes |
14953s | um he may be incentivized to stay down |
14955s | instead |
14957s | yeah interesting to see how he goes he's |
14959s | got a couple of nice murlocs if you |
14960s | count the amalgam as well executed what |
14963s | are you doing |
14965s | excuse me |
14969s | yeah oh rentals so uh interaction you |
14973s | talk about unexpected interactions the |
14975s | other day render with red hand is really |
14977s | cool |
14978s | yeah Randall red hand render what like |
14980s | your charge is pretty good |
14983s | but I'm not concerned for xqn here this |
14987s | trickster is so big it might not die in |
14990s | time |
14991s | but |
14994s | the currency like if it did die it's |
14997s | fine I think it just kills everything on |
14999s | the board actually |
15000s | yeah he has positioned backwards right |
15002s | like backwards positioning so that the |
15004s | the biggest thing is at the end to give |
15007s | it maximum chance to still be alive when |
15009s | the trickster dies yeah you see a lot of |
15012s | that when uh trickster is turning up |
15013s | you've got your small Spinners in France |
15015s | they'll die and that's still the the |
15017s | trickster buff |
15019s | but yeah hey he's kind of just holding |
15022s | on here I mean he does have potential |
15023s | now |
15025s | um with that spell craft in hand you can |
15027s | play spark after a minute and swap it |
15029s | with another one and then |
15031s | um it's not you know a temporary buff |
15033s | it's a permanent buff |
15035s | so imagine we'll see that |
15037s | what even happened to |
15041s | the guy that gives the taunt though |
15045s | um it's been swapped onto the Twix yeah |
15047s | all along okay yeah he swapped it and |
15051s | then it was a 2-3 and I think we just |
15052s | sold it because you said at the time |
15054s | before the mass sale that he had to do |
15056s | that ended up you know making sense |
15058s | you're saying what's he holding it for |
15059s | this was the plan even back then this is |
15061s | what he wanted to do yeah that was the |
15062s | critical information |
15064s | oh but Kitty with the cookbook |
15067s | exhibition finally he has so much cards |
15070s | in his hand too |
15073s | oh perfect he's looking for a few weeks |
15076s | to buy to enable Cook's book 45 seconds |
15081s | gonna use all of them |
15083s | yeah the um |
15086s | I think at this point you can just make |
15088s | a full pivot to murlocs while staying on |
15091s | tier four buying model cards and then |
15093s | getting the value off of a Cook's book |
15095s | giant swole finger had a hard bit the |
15098s | swirl things is always like Oh no just |
15099s | the ordering but he's got there when he |
15101s | got rolling he took a moment to make |
15102s | sure he got his brain in order and now |
15104s | it's just flying |
15107s | God |
15109s | but yeah the issue with this is |
15111s | um I don't know how valuable the actual |
15113s | Cook's book uh Buffs are because it's |
15116s | not like you can play by Nick minions |
15118s | and get those stats for for free you |
15120s | kind of have to just continuously |
15122s | replace your board |
15123s | but |
15125s | yeah it doesn't matter right he's just |
15128s | gonna see if it works |
15130s | um it will allow him to not be fully |
15133s | murlocs like if he ends up with a load |
15134s | of big murlocs but find something else |
15136s | he wants to take instead he can just |
15137s | play it ready built like an amalgam or |
15139s | something later on |
15141s | yeah I could also see tripling murloc |
15144s | battle cries and then just keeping those |
15146s | triples on board because they're so big |
15147s | from the uh the Buffs |
15150s | but yeah we see um |
15152s | yeah the uh what's it the queen wag |
15155s | toggle I think she got her uh Quest and |
15158s | it's evil twin but |
15161s | kind of thinks she's just gonna die like |
15163s | what is the evil twin even copying on on |
15165s | that side I don't think uh scale much |
15168s | yeah |
15170s | yeah it could be this uh murloc |
15173s | uh he's in the position now where |
15177s | he's going to play the the lookout and |
15179s | make sure he Buffs the 14-12 when he'd |
15182s | rather Buffy amalgam because he needs |
15184s | the 1412 to be twinned |
15186s | right but even then I don't think it's |
15188s | enough |
15190s | and this is just so sad to see because I |
15192s | think um this worker had 10 armor as |
15194s | well as the pick and she basically you |
15198s | know didn't get early quests didn't make |
15201s | use of her early strength |
15203s | um you know maybe just bad mashups and |
15206s | you know she has like basically no |
15209s | future |
15210s | no absolutely stuck and again |
15213s | in position now where I think emo will |
15217s | strongly consider selling this amalgam |
15220s | um |
15221s | but because he's trying so hard to make |
15223s | the |
15224s | 1512 the striker copy with a twin passed |
15229s | up a perfectly good swolfe in there |
15233s | which isn't enough because he would die |
15235s | if he took it but he's in this weird |
15237s | spot now yeah I could see also email |
15240s | trying to look for a talks fan so it'd |
15243s | be okay to |
15244s | um copy the |
15250s | this is just so sad I'd be surprised if |
15253s | he makes it through this turn |
15255s | he's against the blue con as well I |
15258s | think so yeah |
15260s | pecan has |
15264s | um honestly not the scariest sport |
15266s | either but you can see is via the Croc |
15270s | West oh and the uh the welfare is to |
15272s | snipe the poison |
15273s | oh maybe emails his life no return then |
15277s | the wind Fury amalgam actually does do a |
15279s | lot of work here yeah |
15280s | but you also be careful about that Croc |
15283s | dudes |
15284s | very very closely reaching scary amount |
15288s | of stats and the interaction might |
15289s | happen where it just keeps tacking and |
15291s | killing minions for free |
15293s | it's not quite the case here though yeah |
15296s | a little bit off but it could still |
15299s | happen if it hits the 1193 |
15301s | uh not quite |
15304s | I was really close to getting out of |
15306s | control if you've gone to the tutus wow |
15308s | yeah it's just such a strong unit in |
15311s | these early game turns |
15314s | oh and then we can see half um he got to |
15317s | choose anima Brad which is really really |
15319s | what he wanted to do with this um Weaver |
15322s | setup so he can get out of this Weaver |
15325s | and |
15326s | probably put it on to a more strong in |
15328s | it like um a Divine shelter of felt that |
15331s | if he hits that yeah |
15334s | the Uther is also quite good here too |
15337s | um you can get this that's permanently |
15339s | onto maybe this overseer or the bronze |
15342s | Warden |
15344s | but it's a little awkward I think |
15345s | there's a lot of uh money that needs to |
15347s | be spent to buy out this entire shop |
15350s | yeah one thing you consider here as well |
15351s | no it's actually I think Earth is still |
15353s | just a pick |
15355s | yeah but grandma wasn't that bad too |
15358s | it's probably a little bit stronger than |
15359s | minion for well actually yeah yeah yeah |
15361s | I can see it it makes sense all these |
15364s | Buffs working in harmony to get yourself |
15365s | a giant murmur |
15368s | yeah it's just always nice that Mama |
15370s | kind of Beats poison it's in a weird way |
15372s | at least early on in the game where it |
15374s | trades one for one and it makes a |
15375s | residual minion obviously later yeah |
15378s | it's so huge that's not the case right |
15380s | but if you do happen to play against it |
15382s | bro that's a bunch of small poisons then |
15385s | uh |
15393s | oh my god he has so many high quality |
15396s | battle cries and they all have poison |
15397s | too how fast he's going is he just |
15399s | making numbers |
15402s | well I could say for sure that he knows |
15406s | it has to be dead now it's just no way |
15409s | it's my bandwagon pick please |
15414s | is killing it and he can freeze the shop |
15417s | for more money too |
15421s | oh my god let's see what the sticker |
15423s | stack does here wait he even got the |
15426s | verse on he got everything going on |
15431s | instant refill of his hands of six |
15433s | minutes I |
15435s | yeah I don't really think |
15437s | yeah good luck guess you can lose that |
15439s | much because it's also in tier six too |
15441s | so you can simultaneously play for the |
15443s | end game while having enough stats to be |
15445s | everyone else |
15447s | sold a baron at some point during that |
15449s | time |
15450s | uh uh it could be possible cars are |
15454s | flying yeah who knows what they said on |
15456s | them |
15457s | yeah just just numbers go up and emo |
15461s | yeah comes to a untimely in the game he |
15464s | will want to forget ever happened but |
15467s | luckily Matsuri did drop as well with |
15470s | them |
15471s | so |
15473s | I do last time |
15475s | yeah Matsuri is basically two points now |
15478s | it's gonna be hard for him to come back |
15480s | into this |
15482s | lighting with yeah this build that seems |
15486s | to just be fine but never really get |
15488s | anywhere |
15490s | I'd say it's one of those like pretty |
15492s | solid top um top four boards but hard to |
15495s | get past that it seems to run into |
15497s | trouble to continue improving like |
15499s | exactly where we're at now yeah you |
15501s | could gold in the mama bear but does |
15502s | that even do anything like you don't |
15504s | want to go on the Hydra the high Mains |
15507s | kind of too big that it kind of lives |
15509s | here now yeah |
15513s | the issue with this sort of build is |
15516s | there's very few cards that can improve |
15518s | your board it's like goldeneying a baron |
15521s | Macaw and maybe a golden and Mama Bear |
15524s | besides that you can't really buy |
15527s | anything else that improves when you |
15528s | compare that to like Rim ghost's cop |
15530s | which is Sia murloc sea Battle Cry buy |
15533s | it and then just scale out of control |
15535s | it's |
15537s | really easy to fall behind to those sort |
15539s | of compositions especially if you don't |
15541s | um yeah if you don't like just Crush |
15544s | everyone early |
15545s | if even goes he's decided that he has |
15547s | enough numbers he's now just Gathering |
15549s | selflessness who knew that would happen |
15551s | yeah I think at this point he doesn't |
15553s | have to buy any more murlocs that aren't |
15555s | generating money he just has to look for |
15558s | gold and stuff for some golden beer and |
15559s | maybe Uther as well |
15562s | connected just so much money it's just |
15565s | free money yeah he might buy the |
15568s | sperlock because I guess why not |
15572s | and he just to spend the coins too |
15574s | because he's going to get a full hand at |
15575s | murlocs |
15576s | okay you did switch up the positioning |
15578s | but yeah the way it was was the America |
15580s | is gonna get more murlocs off of the |
15582s | lookout it'll just be Overkill oh this |
15585s | is the big fight now and one that xqn is |
15589s | not looking in a great position for but |
15590s | he's gonna get loads of device Shields |
15593s | and loads of um hell this is like an old |
15595s | style c'thun build |
15597s | yeah it basically is but I think he |
15599s | needed a poison to be competitive here |
15601s | maybe with two poisons instead of the |
15603s | tricks there he'd have a chance but even |
15605s | then |
15606s | when it's like five Big murlocs versus |
15609s | your two it's hard to to get any further |
15611s | than that yeah and he's gonna find |
15613s | himself in another poor result to be |
15617s | fair we did see sleepy earlier get |
15619s | through with only one top four |
15621s | executions gonna have to emulate that |
15622s | he's gonna be hoping other people go out |
15624s | alongside him |
15627s | yeah |
15630s | I think it was just him unfortunately |
15633s | um I'm kind of curious to see what the |
15635s | what lightning is doing then |
15642s | hate you Bob so much |
15645s | Bob thinks he's helping but he's not |
15648s | he's not I know he's like whenever you |
15650s | see that message it's like ah Bob I've |
15654s | played before please stop being kind all |
15656s | right these players too yeah exactly |
15658s | that's like thanks Bob |
15662s | have they played enough of these |
15663s | tournaments that they've seen that |
15664s | message enough times that it just |
15666s | bounces off now all right here we go |
15667s | that was a blessing |
15670s | yeah so repeat is kind of a worse |
15673s | version of uh Rim girls it looks like |
15677s | but that's pretty significant here |
15678s | because the amount of stats does matter |
15681s | um |
15683s | like the difference between whether or |
15684s | not I can live a Hydra hit |
15687s | I'm gonna wait to see if the golden |
15689s | Baron gets hit |
15691s | yeah I'm just gonna press the lighting I |
15693s | I've got faith he's going to hit the |
15695s | Batman |
15696s | instead of God though yeah yeah that's |
15699s | what they're saying like I wasn't sure |
15701s | if that's how much Faith I've got he |
15703s | doesn't need gold he'll be fine |
15706s | hey dear yay |
15709s | um yeah I'd say maybe if um |
15712s | oh my God he also has the the win period |
15715s | Hydro too |
15717s | I was gonna say maybe if the the murlocs |
15719s | are a little bit smaller but yeah big |
15722s | enough to take the Hydra hits |
15725s | our perception we've got barov's |
15727s | blessing on barov who isn't bear off but |
15729s | is Finley |
15731s | picking somebody else while we're |
15733s | picking on the bow of |
15735s | very confused I'll get hybrid anyway |
15738s | yeah the brand too you're saying uh |
15741s | Brand's blessing before anything too |
15743s | yeah yeah definitely um yes I was I may |
15746s | have done that today as well so that was |
15749s | brand blessing |
15751s | um but actually it's a lot closer than I |
15753s | anticipated I think maybe if lightning |
15755s | uh lightning lighting went first it |
15758s | could have been his win |
15760s | but um unfortunately the Hydra is able |
15763s | to clean up I think with Baron with the |
15765s | baron gold or Buffs it might not have |
15767s | been enough though |
15771s | and this looks like Hoff is out |
15773s | unfortunately losing to gosu it's no |
15776s | surprise yeah we're ghosts are just |
15779s | having the best day of his life I mean |
15782s | yeah well I don't know he has a lot of |
15784s | best days of his life that's the problem |
15785s | he's already a champion the reigning |
15788s | Champion yeah so he's just doing what he |
15791s | does |
15792s | yes the day in the office for him and uh |
15796s | yeah |
15797s | like he has everything he wants he has |
15799s | the highest life turtle in the lobby |
15801s | which means that even if he loses he's |
15803s | not going to be limited he has more time |
15805s | to play |
15806s | uh like tech cards around him and |
15809s | he just has way too many stats for |
15811s | anyone to beat him on that because no |
15813s | one is Lee progress in this um Lobby so |
15816s | all you have to do is beat uh I think a |
15818s | poison cop and he already has gone stuff |
15821s | is he has Uther or the baron as well |
15825s | so many tools I guess that's my next |
15827s | question I think he's about to answer |
15828s | like when do you sell the brand |
15830s | when when is enough enough |
15833s | I think when you think that an opponent |
15835s | will |
15837s | be competitive with you with poisons if |
15839s | you think they don't have many poisons |
15840s | at all you don't really need to solve |
15842s | the brand but if they have poisons you |
15844s | need to make sure every minion counts in |
15846s | that matchup right so that's when you |
15848s | sell it but we know he knows he's |
15850s | against beasts it's |
15852s | um he doesn't he might not know it but |
15854s | it's um Leaf progress piece who has no |
15856s | chance of beating this at all but if he |
15859s | thought maybe there was a um a |
15861s | leapfrogger built he could play a zap or |
15865s | a ghoul to maybe or a tunnel Blaster |
15867s | maybe try to beat it but he doesn't have |
15869s | to self the brand here the brand is |
15871s | actually good because it gives him more |
15873s | stats with the standard stack look how |
15875s | tiny these things are |
15877s | yeah and he even sold out some of the |
15879s | beasts here to play poison in Leroy so I |
15882s | would be surprised if rimkusa ended with |
15884s | a tunnel blast here to negate the |
15886s | strategy |
15888s | um and yeah so now the tunnel Blaster |
15890s | makes sure |
15892s | is Leroy and his meta Queen can't do |
15894s | anything |
15898s | and now you can solve the tunnel Blaster |
15900s | to continue to |
15901s | get free money to find the cards that |
15905s | can help him in the matchups where he |
15907s | walked this office brand |
15908s | for right now like this is not because |
15911s | it's such a Slaughter |
15913s | 46 attack hide which just bounces off |
15916s | and yeah yeah the other sad thing is |
15920s | um murlocs usually don't do that much |
15922s | damage because the murlocs are pretty |
15924s | like low tier but in this case it's a |
15926s | six drop of five drop on a four drop so |
15928s | lighting takes a fourth place here |
15933s | and beater with the top three again so |
15936s | you know I was really surprised by the |
15938s | rocking issue pick but um he's just |
15940s | managed to stay along for stay alive for |
15943s | this long it better and then go through |
15945s | doing it really well once again so |
15950s | yeah but I think he'll meet his match |
15952s | here against Rim gosu so |
15955s | you know a first and third he's in an |
15957s | incredible spot right now |
15961s | um in this case maybe his the play he |
15964s | can make is to try to find a Leroy |
15968s | or make it so this um |
15971s | this gas goer can summon as many minions |
15974s | as possible |
15977s | yeah that's not a thing I've tried many |
15980s | times when I'm in the spot to hit like |
15982s | four leroys but unfortunately I haven't |
15985s | gotten there yet I think my record was |
15986s | two leroys and |
15988s | it did not give me the victory |
15989s | unfortunately right but you're just |
15991s | going to sort of full-on |
15993s | yeah and this is what I'm talking about |
15995s | what he's doing in fact he's literally |
15996s | just setting up for Gasco to give him |
15998s | like four leroys |
16001s | and he's trying to find a LeRoy too like |
16004s | he saw him and needs to get more gold so |
16005s | you can |
16007s | wait |
16010s | I know what I'm doing it's okay |
16013s | fine yeah I think this good technical |
16016s | you went to if he um summons maybe four |
16019s | syrats off his gas griller and then has |
16022s | the reborn space too he can technically |
16025s | win this as well yeah this frog is going |
16028s | to do some work right yeah yeah I'm just |
16030s | gonna keep I think there's a chance |
16032s | foreign |
16034s | oh but this is the other Tech choices |
16036s | really interesting so he has golden |
16038s | Macaw and blaster so if Peter Babbitt |
16040s | was um like a full-fledged Leaf Frogger |
16043s | comp |
16043s | his board would just die to |
16046s | um the tunnel Blaster but yeah it's not |
16049s | a real uh here we go |
16052s | okay Tilly rise |
16054s | uh I think he's unfortunately out of |
16058s | contention then |
16061s | there's always hope always hope this is |
16064s | over but I'm enjoying it no well it's |
16067s | always nice to see the Live program |
16068s | animations though you could just pretend |
16071s | like it's more than one product going |
16073s | from the this the crocos |
16079s | guess what I think he's gonna kill |
16081s | somebody else as well let's have a look |
16084s | there's kill cat this game must be |
16086s | incredibly High |
16088s | yeah it's just one of those games where |
16089s | you know after about nine turns who is |
16093s | very likely to win the lobby |
16095s | yeah |
16097s | this looks like a different game this is |
16098s | like a fair board game that he's playing |
16101s | right this is just some cards |
16103s | yeah this is like what most live Legends |
16106s | I think compositions look like it's just |
16108s | a bunch of fair cards and then if you |
16111s | have one person that you know got a game |
16113s | as ghost room goes to |
16115s | it's funny to repeat it kind of noses |
16117s | over he got up to maybe you know get a |
16121s | drink of water or go to the bathroom he |
16123s | knows might as well save some energy for |
16125s | the next game |
16126s | you you refer a couple of times this is |
16128s | what Lobby Legends |
16130s | um boards look like and this is kind of |
16132s | what my boards look like except the |
16133s | numbers are sort of halved |
16136s | um are yours different is it because |
16137s | you're playing against some weaker |
16138s | players so you get to finish proper |
16140s | compositions more regularly when you're |
16142s | playing on ladder yeah I'd say um on |
16145s | ladder you get more wiggle room to |
16148s | basically |
16149s | um you get more wiggle room to complete |
16152s | full comps whereas in these lobbies you |
16154s | don't really have that time |
16156s | um to do it because your opponent is |
16157s | going to be stronger every single turn |
16159s | so you don't have to left total or the |
16160s | time so you have to go for |
16162s | a safer strategy that's interesting My |
16166s | Level sort of yeah what is currently |
16168s | seven and a half 8K something like that |
16169s | at the moment |
16171s | um none of us have the time because |
16173s | we're all bad right so |
16175s | it's sort of the same as playing Lobby |
16178s | Legends again except against people of |
16180s | my own |
16182s | standards do look like this well not |
16184s | like this like the top board yeah |
16188s | and we see him goes to yeah he managed |
16191s | to transition out of the tunnel Blaster |
16192s | into the golden Southwest like he played |
16194s | this really well he |
16196s | played the correct tech cards against |
16198s | every opponent and yeah like it was I |
16201s | felt pretty hard for him to not get |
16202s | first place but they still have to |
16205s | finish everything off like you have to |
16207s | um right still play correctly towards |
16209s | the end yeah and you're impossible to do |
16211s | that |
16212s | yeah he seems to do a really good job |
16214s | and you know if he hadn't there was a |
16216s | chance of losing this there's a lot of |
16217s | poison coming in his way blah blah blah |
16219s | I realized there wasn't but in some |
16221s | worlds with a little bit less deep on |
16223s | this than he may have but look at how |
16226s | many Shields he's managed to produce |
16227s | what |
16229s | yeah a shield or something in this |
16231s | particular fight nine something like |
16233s | that yeah and one thing I guess I'll |
16235s | nitpick on a little bit was I noticed he |
16237s | shielded his Baron but I think uh he |
16240s | could have also shielded the golden |
16242s | surface because if there was a blaster |
16244s | the surface would die and the Macaw |
16246s | would be |
16247s | pointless it might have been like yeah a |
16250s | little bit better to Shield that |
16251s | yeah because if I was gonna go off okay |
16253s | that's interesting as well |
16255s | um but I I do like to hear the nitpicks |
16258s | as well I'm just going to cut you off |
16259s | because that was the end of that game |
16260s | but that's um it's always nice to hear |
16262s | the exact the tiny things you have to |
16264s | think about to improve but another win |
16266s | for him gosu to go with you know several |
16269s | last tournament and a third place |
16272s | earlier today he's going to be looking |
16275s | good to have our first back-to-back win |
16277s | a long way to go he's still going to |
16278s | play the rest of this and tomorrow but |
16281s | um might be our first really big chance |
16283s | for a back-to-back winner in lobby |
16285s | Legends yeah I believe it was the only |
16287s | time a Lobby Legends winner has made it |
16290s | back to a tournament or like um |
16293s | yeah I made it back to the finals so |
16295s | yeah it could be the case I mean he is |
16297s | in good form today so we believe it |
16300s | yeah Derek and I was sort of asking |
16302s | questions about who's going to be the |
16303s | first one to win the first person to win |
16305s | two Lobby Legends um and it was a lot |
16307s | less clear but yeah we can go through in |
16309s | position to to do that and it will |
16312s | happen I mean |
16313s | the pool of players who's getting here |
16315s | is a decent size but it's not infinitely |
16318s | large there's only |
16320s | there are some players who are good |
16321s | enough to keep qualifying over and over |
16323s | again so we will see somebody win two of |
16325s | these |
16326s | yeah I mean even to make it to the first |
16328s | step you have to be a very uh like |
16331s | skilled and you have to put in a lot of |
16332s | time as well to be a top 16 finish |
16335s | [Music] |
16336s | yeah and it does lend itself to the same |
16339s | people qualifying for the top 16 as well |
16341s | because the seasons are different to the |
16343s | months so |
16346s | the people who sort of top 60 at the end |
16347s | of one month have got a good chance of |
16349s | doing it again the month after even even |
16351s | if somebody new comes along who's great |
16353s | they've still got to sort of make up |
16354s | that lost around anyway |
16356s | right yeah like work put into one month |
16358s | will carry over and |
16360s | like I think right now at what Peter |
16363s | babatomar is he has like 14.5 |
16367s | 000. if he literally didn't play |
16368s | Hearthstone or Battlegrounds again for |
16370s | like two months I think he's still |
16372s | qualify for the next two oh wow Elijah |
16374s | it's just insane |
16375s | there we ah there is that |
16378s | um standings with ghosty bits above it |
16381s | basically through it felt like oh why do |
16384s | I do that every time we've got to say |
16385s | they're three name enough about survey |
16388s | uh got trouble ahead but definitely can |
16390s | still get through with seven more points |
16392s | and then a scrap going on for the other |
16395s | places but xqn once again at the bottom |
16399s | end of things on camera |
16402s | um which I'm sure will stir people up a |
16404s | little bit needing just one good Lobby |
16407s | though and should overtake everyone |
16408s | ahead of him if he does get that first |
16410s | or second place you would imagine |
16412s | yeah but the pressure is definitely more |
16415s | on him now to get a first or second |
16418s | whereas in the last Lobby I think sleepy |
16420s | was in the same position as xkun but the |
16423s | close the scores were way closer than um |
16426s | hexagon has and sleepy did end up making |
16428s | it through with what was it like a |
16430s | fourth place like he didn't even finish |
16433s | particularly highly but it was still |
16435s | better than even above him so sleepy was |
16438s | actually in a worse position going into |
16439s | it but then the two people who were |
16441s | third and fourth came equal last they |
16445s | both top 80s so suddenly it was like oh |
16447s | yeah Sleepy's just got finished top four |
16448s | whereas that's unlikely to happen again |
16452s | um so we are gonna get that one set up |
16454s | for you and once again for the last time |
16456s | today just gonna take a short break and |
16459s | we'll be back with the end of today's |
16461s | Lobby Legends and of course you people |
16464s | who are placing all your |
16466s | um challenges and sorting out what they |
16468s | can do on the tavern buddy find out |
16471s | who's got the most points as well by the |
16473s | end of the day so we'll see you all in |
16474s | three minutes for the conclusion of |
16476s | today |
16476s | [Music] |

16642s | [Music] |
16674s | welcome back to the end of day one of |
16678s | Lobby Legends although there is only one |
16680s | game left there's still a lot of |
16682s | unfinished business in group b xqn |
16686s | trying to repeat Sleepy's performance of |
16689s | having a couple of poor games and then |
16691s | going through not sure he set out to do |
16693s | it that way but that's the way he's |
16694s | gonna have to do it and here to continue |
16697s | dissecting the action for us is Lee and |
16700s | Lee I'm just gonna do the thing where I |
16701s | put you on the spot is xqn going to get |
16703s | into the top four or not |
16706s | um so watch a little bit of his |
16707s | qualifiers for this tournament as well |
16709s | he was also in a spot I think maybe |
16713s | around one where he was kind of in the |
16715s | bottom two or bottom three and then he |
16717s | managed to pull it out |
16720s | um but I don't know it's the issue I'd |
16722s | say at least what this one is the points |
16725s | a lot more polarized towards the top |
16726s | Peter and go sewer not guaranteed but |
16729s | they basically have to do very little to |
16731s | guarantee their finish so I think it'd |
16734s | be a lot harder for xqn to go to First |
16736s | here but I'm still rooting for him |
16737s | because he was one of my picks as well |
16739s | yeah and here we are with Him goes to |
16742s | um a interesting selection of Heroes |
16744s | here I'm a big omu fan but omu obviously |
16747s | um costs has zero armor and Tess has the |
16750s | seven arms you agree with this |
16753s | um I'd say also an abyss Mech lobby as |
16755s | well you probably want to play test just |
16757s | because it's so easy to steal |
16760s | um those pieces that kind of work on |
16762s | both of them right like Macaw and baron |
16764s | are both played in Mech death riddle and |
16766s | bista throttle |
16767s | and yeah I just tend to to favor |
16771s | Tess in a in a Lobby where you just want |
16773s | to play like you know some cards like |
16775s | Baron and macaw that you don't have to |
16777s | actually scale with you just buy them |
16779s | right and for the last time today just |
16782s | gonna remind everybody get your |
16783s | bandwagon picks in and we please know |
16787s | that's the last time let's talk about |
16788s | that for today I hope you've enjoyed |
16790s | playing with the The Tavern buddy |
16793s | and obviously direct feedback somewhere |
16796s | but not at me I'll find out where later |
16797s | on |
16798s | I'm gonna go for |
16801s | repeating here it's because Malibus is |
16803s | one of my favorites the tabish is a |
16806s | really interesting pick here that uh |
16808s | just noticed actually |
16811s | um so you might not know this because |
16813s | you're good at this game but tavish is |
16817s | the rank one and it won't be for you is |
16820s | the rank one best hero right now on Asus |
16823s | replay |
16824s | yeah I've noticed a lot of people |
16827s | um I know the reason |
16830s | um |
16831s | I don't know it doesn't come out |
16835s | like that's the reason why it doesn't |
16837s | come first but it doesn't come eighth |
16839s | but it comes first you know a reasonable |
16841s | amount of the time because it's got nine |
16843s | armors so it gets good quests so it can |
16845s | come first it can do it but it just |
16848s | doesn't come out it's got like a really |
16850s | incredibly low eighth place rate and the |
16852s | rest is kind of normal for everything |
16853s | else |
16855s | um and the reason this is something that |
16857s | you won't have identified with is |
16859s | obviously there's a lot more to high MMR |
16862s | play than not coming eighth you have to |
16863s | actively come first second third and |
16866s | tavish doesn't particularly do that but |
16868s | because it doesn't come eighth it boosts |
16870s | the average position up for Mortal |
16872s | players like significantly so it's the |
16876s | most successful hero |
16877s | there's like one other Theory I have |
16879s | about it is maybe because |
16882s | um beasts seem to be kind of dominant at |
16884s | least in latter it hasn't really been |
16886s | dominant in this tournament that because |
16888s | they're dominant |
16890s | um this hero power is really strong |
16891s | against that sort of thing like if you |
16893s | forget to place your Baron not right and |
16895s | they shoot right they just kill your |
16897s | Baron or your mama or your bird buddy |
16899s | you like it I like it a lot yeah that |
16902s | makes a lot of sense too |
16904s | yeah |
16905s | um |
16906s | executing here with the israela and if |
16909s | you actually got two tokens and another |
16911s | really good hero power track with the |
16913s | pup bot but |
16915s | usually you lock you like try to line up |
16917s | a triple on Israel but he opted to level |
16919s | up instead I think probably partly |
16922s | because he didn't want to buy either |
16923s | these other Minions on the board |
16925s | but it's gonna be interesting to see if |
16927s | you can still find a triple while going |
16929s | up above uh tier one |
16931s | also interesting that he chose to play |
16932s | the minions um going into the quest here |
16934s | with battle crys and such like available |
16937s | um yeah xcode tends to use Health quite |
16941s | extravagantly but this time he's decided |
16943s | to tighten up on it |
16944s | yeah especially also when he's in the |
16947s | position where he kind of needs to get a |
16949s | first or second |
16950s | um |
16951s | yeah |
16952s | could have been a a nice hold if he |
16955s | managed to get a you know a quest that |
16958s | requires this play minions |
16960s | I think sometimes yeah |
16962s | all people |
16964s | have the thing of um what else has |
16967s | happened today maybe just don't fancy |
16968s | taking your chance once or he took a |
16970s | chance earlier ended up taking nine |
16971s | damage twice sometimes yeah uh |
16976s | yeah but the funny thing about that one |
16977s | is |
16978s | if you give your right Mouse minute |
16980s | stealth and then you attack with it |
16982s | you're not gonna have styles it's like |
16984s | kind of not the best choice on this year |
16987s | specifically but it's by four minions so |
16990s | it might it might just be the the pick |
16992s | still just for the HP it's just really |
16994s | funny to think the mask is a fell back I |
16997s | wonder if matsui's tempted to try and |
16999s | force it even though it's an expensive |
17002s | 735 is not ridiculous like if you accept |
17006s | you're not getting it until you would |
17008s | normally get to fail back and just take |
17009s | it for the effect and the guaranteed |
17011s | throwback and just play |
17013s | reasonably sensibly maybe pick up an |
17015s | extra death battle or two along the way |
17017s | yeah I think the pick here might be |
17019s | Rachel dagger just because the quest is |
17021s | play for beast and Demon and those cards |
17024s | tend to have death riddles so it kind of |
17025s | synergizes with your game plan of ritual |
17028s | dagger right |
17030s | he might not actually have any Beast or |
17032s | demons to buy it now my argument would |
17034s | be if you're playing death metal beasts |
17036s | or demons you might as well for someone |
17037s | 35 minions |
17039s | yeah but I think again it's like it's |
17041s | just too slow bad enough absolutely so |
17044s | he agreed with all of that basically I |
17046s | went for the the sensible option I guess |
17049s | yeah but oh my God it's just |
17053s | can't stop laughing at how so serious |
17055s | like you put stuff on it and then |
17058s | immediately it attacks |
17060s | yeah he's just gonna use it for HP I |
17062s | think he's gonna get a lot of um |
17065s | he's going to get a lot of gems out of |
17067s | it as well |
17069s | around I thought he'd swap them around |
17071s | and just make sure he gets a million |
17072s | gems off this thing |
17074s | oh yeah I mean he might end up giving |
17077s | that road Force some HP later uh once he |
17080s | gets a theater is parasol active |
17082s | right |
17085s | yeah it looks like |
17087s | um |
17088s | yeah I don't know you can't you can't |
17090s | really do leapers |
17092s | um with his hero power he still can but |
17095s | it's way way worse I might uh see him |
17098s | just like |
17100s | he might just play a normal cop and use |
17101s | it for HP that's something it's just |
17103s | like you you complete so easily with |
17105s | just the by four |
17107s | or whatever the |
17109s | you just get the plus eight health on a |
17110s | few things early on and just be bad |
17112s | pyramid yeah I mean |
17115s | but technically if I'd say it's better |
17117s | pyramid because this 8 HP return is more |
17119s | than pure messages |
17121s | not too bad right they just use that |
17123s | Tempo to to progress |
17126s | yeah the one cool thing I can see about |
17128s | that uh combination is sometimes you |
17131s | want to buff up tricks there but if you |
17133s | stealth it you know then it's not gonna |
17134s | die but you can immediately unstealth it |
17137s | with the parasol |
17141s | and yeah looking at the um Fulton here |
17144s | he managed to pick up a single |
17148s | Starcraft is not getting that much stats |
17150s | but I think he's not gonna have too hard |
17152s | of a time since his pup Bots are already |
17154s | all five attack |
17157s | um stolen gold we haven't seen stolen |
17159s | gold that much today but I'm sure we'll |
17163s | see plenty of it still |
17165s | yeah I mean stone cold is a really |
17168s | powerful uh quest for beast in |
17171s | particular but yeah I don't know why it |
17174s | hasn't really been an option for these |
17177s | last few games |
17178s | seeing a lot of comps that would benefit |
17180s | from stall gold but they just don't have |
17182s | to have it so it could just be um |
17185s | they weren't offered it |
17188s | yeah I think he's got a lower offer rate |
17190s | than it used to have now thank goodness |
17191s | yeah and hard to do as well it's a I |
17195s | think a bucket three um Quest reward |
17197s | most of the time which tends to be the |
17199s | hardest one |
17202s | yeah I noticed that the buckets are are |
17204s | different in my recording of it all but |
17206s | I've worked out if they're |
17208s | always the hardest in ascending order or |
17211s | not of difficulty but yeah yeah but oh |
17213s | my gosh so Remco sir already has Richard |
17215s | dagger and he got three Buffs already |
17218s | he's in let's say a very very commanding |
17222s | position right now |
17223s | and his but like all he needs to do is |
17225s | probably not finish top eight or top |
17228s | seven so |
17230s | he's achieving that um that plan rather |
17233s | well |
17234s | and yeah I think he's a very smart |
17236s | player despite the fact we've built up |
17238s | his risk reward thing and the the reward |
17241s | seems to come up a lot of the time but |
17243s | yeah I think he's just very smart in |
17245s | general |
17246s | yeah in this case it doesn't really make |
17248s | sense to try to push for a first at all |
17250s | and yeah you don't have to |
17252s | India or even seeing him stay down to |
17255s | tier two for an extra turn just to |
17257s | secure some more death riddles |
17264s | oh we see PT with the uh leap Froggers |
17271s | let's buy Six minions okay and then he |
17273s | gets teal tiger Sapphire |
17275s | it's pretty funny like it's not a very |
17276s | hard quest to do but the reward is also |
17279s | kind of underwhelming as well and I see |
17281s | you get |
17282s | um |
17283s | a fell bat which is right now in a prime |
17287s | position to do so |
17288s | yeah it's only good unless you get the |
17290s | favorite for like about three game three |
17292s | turns somewhere in the middle of the |
17293s | game and that's it seems to be very |
17296s | specific very small window of |
17298s | opportunity unless again you can break |
17300s | it later on |
17301s | yeah |
17303s | um I'd say what the changes they made to |
17304s | Demons it's a little more valuable now |
17307s | just because there are other demon cards |
17308s | that you eat from the shop but yeah for |
17311s | the most part it's still the the same |
17313s | idea okay how about it's the nuts if you |
17315s | don't it's not |
17317s | I really like the demon |
17319s | um tidy up as well they were sort of |
17321s | pity underwhelming all over the place |
17322s | class they didn't really know what it |
17324s | was trying to do before and they got |
17325s | sharpened up and nice |
17328s | uh minion type now with its own sort of |
17331s | theme going on properly I'm a big fan |
17334s | yeah the eating from shop I think was |
17336s | probably one of the coarse mechanics |
17338s | they introduced |
17339s | um and like they're able to build on it |
17341s | too with the quests without quests I |
17343s | feel like it'd be yeah a little |
17346s | underwhelming |
17350s | now which direction do you want to go |
17352s | because here's three more directions you |
17354s | can go in |
17355s | yeah |
17357s | um |
17359s | kind of wonder if you just take |
17360s | something that's strong right now and |
17362s | hero power at next turn to try to hit a |
17364s | better card |
17365s | but so if you want to go for a direction |
17367s | right now you take the Omega Buster and |
17370s | you can even try to hero power your |
17372s | Warden of old on board to try to get him |
17374s | a car or de facto |
17376s | um I think it's probably not worth the |
17378s | try to scale with dark is Elder |
17380s | um with your current board and then it |
17382s | mama is probably not strong enough but |
17386s | okay |
17388s | yeah because it doesn't matter what you |
17390s | pick if you're just gonna hear a pirate |
17393s | I've already said no to you okay |
17396s | I think Arkansas is something he's |
17399s | probably happy with |
17404s | no |
17405s | oh wow and the super power leap Frogger |
17407s | to try to get it to die for the hyena |
17411s | let's try it like doing everything you |
17413s | can to increases odds for this fight |
17416s | I found seven I can't work out this is |
17418s | an awful board but it's going to be a |
17420s | good board very very rapidly right |
17422s | yeah I mean that's just kind of what |
17424s | happens when you go for a tier six like |
17427s | you're gonna have an offer board besides |
17429s | your tier 6 minion |
17430s | that's why I think most in most of these |
17434s | tournaments like people don't tend to go |
17436s | for a tier six literally because it's |
17438s | such a high risk if you end up |
17440s | uh failing but in this case you know the |
17443s | PT kind of needs to to go for a little |
17446s | bit of riskier line |
17448s | yeah and it's good to see it we have |
17450s | I've seen players sort of not do that I |
17453s | mean some of these tournaments where |
17454s | they're going oh yeah I'll just happily |
17456s | not win the tournament okay well |
17458s | you do you |
17460s | yeah and then interesting enough so |
17463s | Peter Baba's questions have 45 funny |
17465s | men's die for ghastly mask with Charlie |
17468s | and it's actually doing a really good |
17471s | job of staying healthy while taking such |
17473s | a greedy Quest |
17475s | all right that's also part of the reason |
17476s | why I picked it Mama too to help him |
17478s | with that |
17479s | and now look what he's picking up |
17481s | there's just a good Tempo stuff this is |
17485s | going to carry him for a long time |
17486s | yeah something I like about Peter's play |
17489s | too like he just very quickly bought |
17491s | cards so he has maximum time to position |
17494s | um he doesn't spend too much time |
17496s | thinking about it when he knows it's a |
17498s | good play |
17501s | oh and we're gonna see the light thing |
17502s | here that goes really perfectly with his |
17505s | um Miss Quest reward if you can get life |
17508s | Fang and Charlie on board his passive |
17510s | scaling is to the roof |
17513s | yeah and |
17515s | has picked up a decent set of Menagerie |
17517s | stuff as well |
17520s | yeah no xq and I don't know I think he |
17524s | has to set up to necessarily win but his |
17527s | board is not bad at all |
17530s | this is a board that you know you can |
17533s | just AFK fraternity you wouldn't want to |
17534s | because you get overtaken pretty quickly |
17536s | but he's he's in a good spot |
17538s | yeah like I think that's the issue at |
17541s | least like you can have a good board |
17543s | where it passively scales and you like |
17544s | AFK but it's hard for you to win with |
17548s | that sort of thing when other players |
17550s | could be actively using their gold to |
17552s | get stronger and you're just like |
17553s | rolling for one or two cards to maybe |
17555s | get stronger but you know for the most |
17558s | part you don't get stronger |
17560s | all right nobody in danger of dying |
17562s | right now which is again a feature of |
17565s | this current meta game |
17566s | um the the length of games is pretty |
17569s | long at the moment |
17570s | yeah and we see our ouch |
17574s | yeah repeatedly found two more bears |
17576s | immediately after and then he here |
17578s | powered his orgaso and Samantha it's a |
17580s | pretty pretty good turn I'd say |
17582s | yeah the police are taking out xqns one |
17585s | decent minion of course he will be |
17586s | looking to move those gems across onto |
17589s | one of those Shields now like |
17591s | immediately |
17592s | gets the chance another gem sweater is |
17595s | definitely what he's looking for but |
17598s | yeah I'm really scared for |
17601s | those taxi fights I could just don't |
17604s | think he has enough lights at all to |
17606s | get there |
17608s | I can take this magnetic at least to be |
17610s | a little bit stronger on one of his um |
17613s | one another |
17616s | yeah maybe not enough gold to spend here |
17618s | though |
17620s | I don't even think you can take |
17624s | yeah you can take the monkey but it |
17626s | loses the stats on Teal tiger |
17631s | um |
17634s | right now yeah yeah and it's a Divine |
17637s | Shields but you're still quite sad about |
17640s | this whole thing |
17642s | I mean at this point you might as well |
17644s | just put the other gems which one right |
17646s | yeah like you put it on the you've got |
17649s | to judge which of those whether you want |
17652s | a large one or two medium ones there's |
17654s | always a tough question in this game I'd |
17656s | say like if you're trying to win the |
17657s | fight you probably put it on the smaller |
17659s | one to make it more useful but if you're |
17661s | trying to win |
17662s | and he's taking a spot to create a |
17664s | little bit you can put on the bigger one |
17665s | because there's a chance you might sell |
17666s | off the smaller one to have space for |
17669s | something better I'm not sure what's |
17671s | better here this this border xqns this |
17673s | looks quite tight |
17675s | yeah I'd say this is probably better |
17679s | just because it's stolen gold |
17681s | um |
17682s | like here's a golden crocus and a golden |
17684s | brown oh yeah yeah that's plenty isn't |
17686s | it yeah yeah and I don't think there's a |
17689s | cleave on his end |
17692s | no the stolen gold I was I was |
17693s | overlooking that I think it was |
17695s | reasonably close without it because the |
17697s | tank was shoot off some Shields but yes |
17698s | absolutely this should be pretty large |
17700s | yeah it's interesting enough as well |
17703s | that um lighting is opt-in to go for the |
17706s | Macaw after the suret so he only wants |
17708s | to proc the golden Croc |
17710s | thank you |
17715s | but yeah it's um today potentially still |
17719s | Lightnings lightings |
17721s | um Victory here I don't know it's really |
17725s | big though with this um this product it |
17728s | gets an extra 12 12. yeah it's more |
17730s | about whether Mexican can survive I |
17732s | think |
17734s | yeah did that hit that's a really good |
17737s | hit |
17738s | yeah |
17739s | it's still so close no not quite and |
17743s | actually execute right here right |
17746s | assuming that he's on five on this yeah |
17748s | I don't see why he wouldn't be then yes |
17749s | he's dead yeah I don't know |
17753s | and xqn once again |
17756s | day one of the finals but once again in |
17758s | the finals |
17759s | yeah and now people can |
17763s | start dying at a quicker rate because |
17764s | the damage cap is lifted |
17766s | don't know who'd have the potential |
17768s | though I'm kinda |
17770s | curious to see how Rim Garcia was doing |
17772s | later on because he had the ritual |
17774s | dagger and I wonder if he fell off um |
17776s | soon |
17778s | and Lighting in a pretty good spot |
17781s | um to just sneak into that top four |
17784s | between lighting half emo and |
17788s | um vipino |
17789s | the four players really in with a Chance |
17791s | of taking two slots if we give him go |
17794s | some better |
17795s | pretty much guaranteed through now |
17798s | at this point like I'd say it's probably |
17801s | guaranteed just from the game State and |
17803s | how well their heroes are doing yeah |
17806s | but it's kind of the same thing |
17810s | this is like exactly what I I see a lot |
17814s | of uh in my games that I play with the |
17815s | dagger basically you stay on tier two |
17818s | you get tier two death riddles and then |
17820s | you just level up and find a baron and |
17822s | triple stuff |
17823s | like exactly because this board it's all |
17826s | teardrops except for this Baron and he's |
17828s | gonna triple some of them like the |
17830s | Southwest |
17831s | and he's even in a position to make a |
17834s | leapfrog or pivot if he wants to that's |
17836s | why I imagine he's picked up the leap |
17837s | Frogger and the macaw I mean that's what |
17839s | we do we know me right except on a |
17841s | different scale you know you make your |
17842s | big minions and you triple them so yeah |
17844s | it makes sense to stay on tune get some |
17846s | good triples where you're getting this |
17849s | very early Tempo car and then level up |
17853s | like a lunatic yeah and this case is a |
17856s | little different just because you're |
17857s | only scaling four for a turn like it's |
17859s | pretty static but with the Nomi you can |
17861s | potentially scale like 10 10 on your |
17863s | Elementals sure yeah but you're doing |
17866s | this so much earlier as well yeah yeah |
17869s | like this is |
17871s | it's just such a good spot like it's not |
17873s | only early game strength it's also |
17874s | scaling it's just gonna fall off but |
17877s | I guess a trade-off you'd make a lot of |
17879s | time gladly |
17883s | but yeah beater also he got his uh he |
17887s | got his Charlie you know with 35 life |
17889s | I'm really impressed |
17891s | no stress once again it might not be |
17894s | enough this uh Harvest column doesn't |
17896s | have quite enough attack to deal with |
17897s | everything but |
17900s | um he still has a quite a few Minions on |
17902s | this board I can deal with I think this |
17904s | fight bodes well for him even if he |
17905s | loses it though like I know you're |
17908s | against the test so that's not quite so |
17909s | straightforward because Tess is going to |
17911s | hit triples and get big but if you're |
17913s | holding tests to this already and now |
17916s | you've got |
17917s | your mask is active |
17919s | uh I'd want to be a better situation |
17922s | here |
17923s | yeah |
17926s | all right here's half getting the ghost |
17929s | um and very appreciative to the player |
17931s | currently in third place in the |
17933s | standings so really needs to survive as |
17935s | long as possible yeah and we see another |
17937s | ritual dagger board as well with a bunch |
17939s | of tier two buffed up minions and he's |
17942s | also trying to change the Libras but |
17944s | he's a lot more committed to it with the |
17946s | elite Frogger and the bearing on board |
17948s | already |
17950s | um so I imagine it'll probably just roll |
17952s | for the baron and triple of the zero |
17955s | power you can also triple Macaw and buy |
17958s | Reborn Radler for there we go |
17960s | stuff yeah |
17961s | I asked to decide whether he wants to |
17963s | freeze for it and just weighs two gold |
17964s | because he's against the ghost |
17967s | yeah if |
17969s | um |
17970s | if you're kind of ambitious you could |
17972s | buy it but the risk of dying is really |
17975s | high I wouldn't risk it yeah |
17978s | like the best car you could sell the |
17980s | worst credits off is like |
17982s | the bird buddy but that provides a lot |
17985s | of strength to this board yeah dying |
17987s | over two gold here is absolutely |
17988s | criminal as well when he's in such a |
17990s | good position |
17992s | yeah it's a composition also doesn't |
17994s | value the gold that much like |
17997s | I feel like it's you know you either hit |
17998s | the cards that you want or you don't |
18000s | like you don't need like the gold |
18003s | doesn't necessarily linearly equate to |
18005s | Stats it's like you know it equates to |
18007s | to Chances though doesn't it so if you |
18009s | waste two gold when you're cursing later |
18011s | on that you didn't hit you or whatever |
18012s | then you've wasted two rolls yeah |
18015s | whatever |
18017s | but it's like a little less important |
18019s | let's say especially when like that |
18020s | triple is Barren which exponentially |
18022s | increases your um your odds opening |
18025s | again I absolutely know that you are the |
18027s | person who at least originally knew all |
18029s | these stats off my heart rate for |
18031s | different tiers and different |
18033s | um dance of hitting things so I know I'm |
18035s | talking to the right person here |
18037s | yeah I uh I did do a lot of just |
18040s | calculating those early on I was |
18042s | learning battlegrounds |
18044s | but it looks like beater is gonna take |
18046s | down |
18047s | um who is this again lighting |
18050s | yeah that's a big deal lighting |
18052s | um in sixth place going into this so |
18054s | that would um put lighting basically out |
18056s | as well yeah so xq and lighting her out |
18059s | and then Matsuri |
18062s | honestly probably is out as well |
18065s | Ellie is what emo repeating and Hoff |
18068s | fighting for the last displacements yeah |
18070s | yeah |
18072s | so he wins the lobby but for now we |
18074s | won't worry about that |
18076s | yeah |
18077s | at this point yeah even if Mastery got |
18079s | seven points |
18081s | um I think it's impossible for him to |
18083s | make it because repeating an email will |
18084s | still pass them |
18089s | yeah half with the uthers while the play |
18091s | on zap |
18092s | I am glad that we're gonna see a worldly |
18094s | progress game today like I think it's |
18096s | that's a good mix of uh |
18099s | compositions this game this uh this day |
18102s | yeah you said we'll see in fact we've |
18103s | seen sort of fewer than we expected to |
18105s | some degree I think we've seen a couple |
18106s | of people sort of get halfway there and |
18108s | then either change direction or just die |
18111s | is the first real go at it and |
18114s | this isn't in the clear yet either half |
18116s | really struggling to |
18119s | decide between do I want to survive one |
18121s | more turn or do I want to win this Lobby |
18123s | like |
18127s | this um |
18129s | yeah this Rat Pack seems pretty good you |
18131s | can go for that to get more piece of |
18133s | summon |
18135s | um and then I remember this room ghost |
18137s | room ghost is trying to Pivot over to |
18140s | frogs himself so he's going to be very |
18142s | glad to see this board and he also has |
18144s | the time to change over now as well |
18147s | what's the purpose of the the bot in |
18150s | first place here |
18152s | um I'm gonna be golden but |
18155s | oh it's not gonna be gone because um oh |
18157s | no it doesn't have a wrong place star |
18159s | Gods yeah |
18160s | yeah I guess |
18163s | if maybe it wants to try to have the |
18166s | bomb die first |
18168s | name something |
18169s | it's like a pretty small |
18172s | difference I'd say oh also needs to get |
18175s | the death battle out of the way |
18177s | and doesn't want to sell his 22-22 |
18181s | yeah I guess so |
18183s | you're gonna take away oh bomb Oh not |
18187s | not quite close enough to sniper oh |
18190s | I thought he sniped it yeah |
18192s | I still think Hoff is really a favorite |
18194s | here |
18198s | yeah but is your favorite next time when |
18200s | him goes his steals all this stuff |
18202s | maybe not there could be a funny |
18204s | situation where |
18206s | um |
18208s | ends up keeping this bomb and playing my |
18210s | car on the bomb and the bombs show up |
18213s | the entire report I would love to see |
18215s | that because I don't think he's willing |
18217s | to solve this bomb anytime soon |
18220s | size of it the monster bomb |
18223s | yeah oh you're taking a snipe on it it |
18226s | could |
18228s | be half his loss here |
18231s | um |
18235s | yeah |
18236s | always always go difference or whatever |
18239s | I say |
18240s | yeah |
18241s | it's hard to say is there I feel like |
18243s | because uh The Rat Pack can't trade |
18246s | twice with this it's probably yeah |
18252s | yeah the rat had it covered by two |
18254s | health and I think that made a |
18256s | significant amount of difference here |
18257s | yeah dude |
18260s | but |
18261s | yeah like the difference between having |
18263s | your brain sniped like one turn before |
18267s | after is huge this comp scale is |
18269s | exponentially so yeah even extra two |
18271s | turns could mean like hundreds and |
18272s | hundreds of stats I swear so often when |
18275s | I get like three open shots at |
18277s | somebody's uh Baron who just miss all |
18279s | three I'm like come on that's not how |
18281s | one in seven one in six and one in five |
18283s | work when you multiply them together why |
18285s | does it never ever hit all right about |
18288s | blessing time you know how this works by |
18290s | now take your pick |
18293s | um on the extension and who you think's |
18295s | gonna win this exact fight |
18299s | so the things I look out for at least |
18301s | when I play against leapers is like how |
18304s | many tech cards they have to beat it I |
18306s | want to see if Matsuri goes for a triple |
18309s | here and hits a zap or a |
18312s | very brief he doesn't hit it I think I'm |
18313s | gonna bet on leapers though |
18316s | I'm going for Matsui because I just want |
18319s | to see somebody's bam and get sniped so |
18322s | I don't know how he's going to snipe it |
18323s | also he's got a really massive minion on |
18326s | the right hand side there |
18328s | it looks like he'll |
18331s | it's taking a while to take this I feel |
18333s | like |
18334s | too long |
18337s | wait this oh maybe this is a nice Tech |
18340s | against it to stop um the death rails |
18342s | from dying |
18343s | I like this as well |
18345s | okay |
18347s | but I think with the uh the Macaw he can |
18349s | kind of play around it a little bit |
18353s | if he knows it's there |
18357s | all right let's see how the fight goes |
18359s | it's not bad to watch |
18361s | because yeah it looks like the Frog's |
18363s | not gonna die so this pecan needs to |
18365s | proc um the Frog at least once otherwise |
18370s | yeah there's just not enough uh |
18372s | the feet off of |
18374s | oh one fail |
18377s | but the macaws aren't dying either which |
18378s | is the drama because as well oh that was |
18382s | that was super unlucky so now the makas |
18385s | need to die in order for more procs to |
18387s | go |
18388s | there is solver still one more chance |
18390s | for the elite father to die |
18392s | yeah |
18394s | yeah that uh could actually be enough |
18398s | depends |
18400s | yeah yeah he did about to not die there |
18404s | oh and that was a terrible hit from |
18405s | Matsuri as well |
18408s | yeah but now I think it's time for pipe |
18412s | it |
18413s | ah |
18415s | oh |
18417s | it might not be enough actually |
18422s | got there |
18424s | oh is it a tie let it be a known oh no |
18427s | it is a tie yeah sorry which I think in |
18429s | uh we all everyone wins then right |
18431s | everybody wins we'll we'll get points |
18435s | awesome |
18436s | that's a weird fight it felt like mostly |
18439s | had like three chances to win it missed |
18441s | them all and still tied yeah I didn't |
18443s | took the tie at all |
18445s | just always surprised that what um all |
18448s | the progress bills can produce |
18450s | yeah that last um death sort of went up |
18452s | by 40 40 or 50 50 to snatch the ties |
18455s | like okay you've really that many |
18457s | times sure good luck |
18460s | oh my God and uh mysterious to play |
18462s | against yet another leapfrogger build it |
18466s | um |
18467s | but room guess who's a lot weaker than |
18470s | um off was because he doesn't have |
18472s | golden Baron |
18473s | yeah I feel like he should have but |
18475s | obviously he just hasn't had anything |
18476s | after the attempt to Steals and yeah |
18480s | it's also important no he didn't level |
18482s | up to tier five even though it costs |
18484s | four he's just waiting to Triple I guess |
18487s | into it with this macaw Maybe |
18490s | yeah also it doesn't matter it's not the |
18491s | top four by the way so I mean |
18494s | yeah it happens this placement doesn't |
18496s | matter like he's already secured but |
18498s | maybe he wants to |
18500s | to win anyways oh of course that's yeah |
18503s | the play I don't know him very well we |
18506s | had a short interview with him last time |
18507s | but the |
18509s | the sort of players that like to be all |
18512s | in on winning lobbies they don't want to |
18514s | not win the lobby they just want to keep |
18515s | going |
18517s | yeah and there's no uh games at this too |
18519s | so you don't have to like you know you |
18522s | can maybe like just say oh I don't |
18524s | really care about winning this I'm gonna |
18525s | rest up for the next games like you can |
18528s | just go to sleep after this one |
18530s | yeah absolutely |
18533s | uh we see Peter here with um pretty good |
18536s | Tech against the Fergus build he has a |
18538s | Winfrey first and then the zap the |
18540s | delayed zap is the important thing to |
18542s | note here |
18543s | it means he has a higher chance of |
18544s | sniping Barren because the Beast can get |
18548s | busted by Leaf Frogger and then the |
18549s | bearing can be exposed but that's not |
18551s | what happened here invite |
18553s | it might be the case that Peter loses if |
18555s | Barons gets sniped like right now |
18558s | against types right now and it didn't |
18562s | okay yeah this is too much |
18564s | they're all gonna be like a hundred |
18566s | hundred now |
18568s | because it was also there's only two |
18570s | minions left like it's so much that |
18573s | I can stop |
18578s | yeah well don't get any more minions I |
18581s | can't bear to watch more frogs the good |
18584s | thing is Peter can easily take a ground |
18587s | still though like all he needs is a cave |
18589s | Hydra and I think it's buffed up enough |
18591s | by lyfang and Charlie to kill off the |
18594s | board like he already has the wind free |
18595s | too so he just needs to um to get that |
18598s | one I'm parked |
18600s | you lied to me you said there'd be a |
18602s | hundred a hundred not 300 300. yeah but |
18605s | I said that like four four deaths ago |
18608s | that's true I was just trying to yeah be |
18611s | facetious this evening because I've seen |
18613s | so many frogs we didn't see many at all |
18615s | actually today but we may well see a lot |
18617s | more tomorrow to be fair yeah I hope we |
18619s | see it more for the fans |
18621s | yeah I'll get progressively more more |
18625s | angry about not hitting Baron |
18628s | but yeah we see um I think REM ghostly |
18631s | lost the Mastery but he stays live at |
18633s | one and now this is the mirror match |
18635s | so I'm cute I'm I'm curious to see |
18638s | what'll happen here |
18641s | um I see him because he picked up Menace |
18643s | and Marshall I think maybe for the |
18645s | purpose of trying to stall the deaths on |
18648s | um offside so he Watts |
18650s | Leaf Frogger to die as late as possible |
18653s | and that's what the small town is for |
18654s | and I imagine the one ones from the |
18657s | Menace |
18659s | and he knows that he'll always find uh |
18661s | Baron so yeah that's exactly what he's |
18663s | doing he is |
18664s | literally just delaying um the hits on |
18667s | his stuff as long as possible |
18670s | I'm kind of wondering if you could delay |
18671s | it even more then by putting the 2 4 |
18673s | first but it might not necessarily die |
18675s | and he still have space to summon like |
18677s | another one one |
18679s | so this seems pretty pretty solid |
18681s | the one issue I have with this is our |
18684s | four beasts gonna be enough though |
18686s | especially when them have taunt to like |
18689s | it'd be a different story if maybe the |
18690s | high man was a syrup but |
18693s | it's so easy for the baron Digger sniped |
18695s | here yeah that was gonna be my next |
18697s | question is so there's nothing I get the |
18698s | delaying to some extent but you're |
18700s | costing yourself a lot of |
18704s | um attacking the business of while |
18706s | you're waiting yeah and uh unfortunately |
18709s | he doesn't get the block here |
18713s | oh it's my car is going to park and with |
18716s | it |
18717s | actually no Pro no LeapFrog products in |
18720s | the first one but he did hit delete |
18721s | program on the second process of the car |
18723s | what's the reason for only playing six |
18725s | Minions on the other side |
18728s | um I think maybe he just didn't have |
18729s | another piece to play because I think he |
18731s | tripled the Macaw late and then maybe he |
18733s | didn't have any money to play anything |
18735s | else |
18736s | also I think if you have another Minion |
18738s | like that isn't helpful for your build |
18741s | you might even just want to not play it |
18742s | because it could take up a space of a |
18745s | beast summon from your board so it's |
18746s | just better to play six |
18750s | and I think um he also knows that he's |
18752s | the player on zap or cleave |
18755s | so he just yeah there's no need to to |
18758s | play around that with the a sub Union |
18760s | ouch that's I mean it was the end anyway |
18762s | but definitely the end I don't know why |
18764s | I ouched |
18765s | nice to see the tests losing to the |
18768s | thing that Tesla's trying to steal from |
18769s | especially in a situation where it |
18771s | doesn't matter too much |
18773s | and the good thing is in a lift program |
18774s | mirror too you know usually someone dies |
18777s | so you always feel you'll feel a little |
18779s | happy |
18781s | yeah Focus losing |
18784s | yeah I don't hate on Focus like I said I |
18786s | just got um I just don't ever hit the |
18788s | barrel but you've already showed me |
18789s | things like I should be positioning my |
18791s | zap in better places and |
18792s | trying to make sure I maximize my chance |
18795s | of hitting the baron so we'll get |
18796s | plentiful chances to see how people can |
18798s | do that over the next day or so tomorrow |
18800s | yeah and there's just a lot of tech |
18802s | cards you can play too I like the |
18804s | Blaster one the most just |
18806s | killing all the the Beeson one hit |
18809s | yeah that's just like super cleave |
18812s | yeah but oh my God Matsuri |
18815s | that's why he has the cleave he has the |
18817s | wind Fury |
18819s | he has a lot of strong minions too |
18823s | I'm not sure what else you can look for |
18825s | here |
18827s | should be good process this board it |
18830s | sees the parrot on the other side of the |
18831s | West where's the Frog |
18834s | you know you could play that card |
18836s | without a leapfrog |
18838s | I've seen so many of the the combo |
18845s | yeah this is the Hydra |
18848s | one of those cheeky looking boards that |
18850s | we were talking about before or it's |
18852s | like just a lot of fair stuff right like |
18854s | it wasn't anywhere close to um |
18856s | Rim ghost's last last game where it was |
18859s | just |
18860s | absurd amount of stats |
18862s | it's like everything looks kind of fair |
18863s | here like he still has that pashmar from |
18866s | ages ago yeah just the one huge nugget |
18868s | but even so |
18870s | yeah but I gotta say Matsuri has a huge |
18872s | Advantage here because you can um win |
18875s | Fury this |
18877s | cave Hydra and it can attack twice |
18879s | because attacks first off of the the |
18881s | hero power and then the next attack |
18883s | after it'll be another win for your |
18885s | hydro hit so it should be pretty easy |
18887s | um win for him we have yeah Divine |
18889s | Shield as well so |
18891s | yeah I also like the module to do again |
18894s | delay the um delay program from dying |
18896s | potentially |
18899s | here we go |
18901s | uh |
18903s | oh I guaranteed when but it's like |
18908s | also kind of basically |
18912s | like when you when you simultaneously |
18913s | kill that many beasts they don't have |
18915s | time to to spread out the Buffs they |
18917s | just you know yeah that's distracted |
18920s | like you need more more Beast to LEAP |
18922s | onto and there's none left anymore |
18925s | yeah they don't get the chance to yeah |
18927s | the bird doesn't get the chance to |
18929s | the big ones and so on because they're |
18931s | spread out everywhere so it's always a |
18933s | small number two even though it wasn't a |
18934s | bird but yeah |
18943s | um the Frogger board |
18946s | nah not quite |
18948s | I would have loved to see that though |
18949s | yeah we've had like a seven turn heads |
18951s | up and a zero turn heads up in the same |
18953s | day if that had happened |
18956s | but we'll have to see Matsuri and beta |
18959s | um |
18960s | yeah I mean Peter doing a great job of |
18964s | just basically past scaling and then I |
18966s | think tacking as well as he could |
18967s | against uh lead progress |
18971s | uh how many times you say the word |
18973s | Frogger in the last like 15 minutes it's |
18975s | a lot of many times oh I love saying it |
18979s | just rolls off the tongue for me |
18985s | amazing okay yeah and actually just one |
18988s | thing note too Peter did end up going |
18990s | for the tunnel Blaster plus um Baron |
18993s | combination to kill off uh be |
18995s | simultaneously |
18996s | but I don't know if I'll keep that for |
18998s | this round maybe he doesn't need the |
19001s | baron anymore |
19003s | you could see just the the Eternal |
19005s | Blaster being enough |
19007s | you'll cycle one of them through right |
19009s | for this double Divine Shield you know |
19011s | it doesn't matter that much I guess |
19012s | against the frogs but |
19013s | yeah I mean now he's up against uh |
19015s | Mastery there isn't that frogs |
19018s | oh yeah just completely |
19022s | frogs on the brain yeah okay |
19024s | yeah frog was finals frauds |
19028s | um |
19029s | but yeah |
19031s | it's basically I think a lot |
19034s | yeah I think um if Peter can't deal with |
19038s | this uh what's it called the corrupting |
19041s | moment on well then yeah like it's |
19044s | gonna be tough for him it's like oh dude |
19047s | this glow scale here at least and maybe |
19048s | sell the um |
19050s | the module even I'm not sure Macho are |
19053s | the |
19054s | Wrangler would be a fine cell I think |
19059s | okay he wants an extra buff on his Hydra |
19065s | yeah having the Divine Shield making |
19067s | sure it gets the two attacks when you're |
19068s | not quite sure what you're up against |
19071s | oh my God double shielded uh Blaster is |
19075s | really interesting |
19077s | I think probably to deal with mantid and |
19079s | oh really it's actually it does it deals |
19081s | will be Road pretty well oh all right |
19082s | what if if they had died |
19085s | maybe not this might actually be |
19086s | relevant as well Matsui um is in with a |
19089s | Chance inclusive emo is seventh place I |
19091s | think but hopefully getting through the |
19093s | day |
19094s | yeah essentially |
19098s | um |
19100s | we need to be aware that it could happen |
19103s | yeah I think if this cage out gets the |
19105s | hit again |
19106s | straight in the middle oh right in the |
19109s | middle |
19110s | he does get this uh console consolation |
19113s | win well it might not be a consolation |
19115s | win he has gone to nine points now |
19119s | let's overtaken xqn it's overtaken |
19122s | lighting |
19125s | yeah we have to wait and see on that one |
19127s | it's it's clear we were saying that it |
19130s | shouldn't be possible but |
19132s | the order that people went out might |
19134s | mean that it's okay yeah I think |
19137s | um let's just mention that if material |
19139s | wins he takes the tiebreaker with Ruby |
19142s | because Ruby doesn't have a first Well |
19144s | yeah if it's tied but there's always um |
19147s | with the live action stuff always leave |
19148s | it up to the admins because I don't I |
19150s | make the mistake of trying to calculate |
19152s | it then getting in a mess and then |
19153s | saying oops I'm sorry |
19155s | um but yes there is a chance that |
19156s | Matsuri has got through day two and we |
19159s | will have to wait and see kind of hope |
19161s | he has because that was a pretty good |
19162s | performance there to |
19165s | tiptoe through with a just a selection |
19168s | of cards they're my favorite build the |
19170s | cards build |
19171s | yeah uh he had to change it every single |
19173s | round for different opponents to some |
19176s | degree |
19177s | I mean he did it with some really good |
19179s | cards too though like he had a win Fury |
19181s | hijab that was pretty sizable and he |
19183s | couldn't remember done that was massive |
19184s | and I have no idea how it got that |
19186s | massive probably I'm guessing the |
19188s | Wrangler though with the pashmir |
19191s | yeah it gets big pretty quickly hey the |
19194s | second you're golden it it just gets |
19197s | large I know |
19199s | quite I think I think most of my post in |
19202s | Discord look how unlucky I am losses are |
19204s | to exactly huge murmurdon early on |
19207s | yeah it's also a shame when it's the |
19209s | only minion the only men surviving and |
19211s | then you have just enough life to die to |
19214s | it |
19214s | 10 life 11. yeah exactly because you |
19217s | take 10 or 11 damage and it's it's just |
19220s | huge you can't kill it |
19221s | or some particularly cruel people who |
19224s | know there's no murlocs in or whatever |
19225s | early on they get really early they're |
19228s | just taunt it up and let all of you like |
19230s | the old rock days |
19231s | yeah but your whole ball into it and you |
19234s | just take 27 or something on Terminal it |
19238s | feels awful like why why did you do this |
19241s | to me because your stupid thing's gonna |
19242s | get leroid or poisoned later and there |
19244s | we have it confirmation Matsuri |
19247s | overtaking Rippy right at the end there |
19249s | the tiebreaker being who has the best |
19252s | single game and Matsui with a win has |
19255s | the best single game so |
19257s | finds a way to to do the sleepy I guess |
19261s | and |
19262s | sneaks up after a terrible start into |
19265s | fourth place |
19267s | ouch |
19270s | wow yeah I so what had to happen you're |
19273s | like I thought it was really difficult |
19275s | for muscle to make it I think we thought |
19276s | the rupee had already gone out when Ruby |
19278s | hadn't or going around emo hadn't gone |
19280s | out I think we |
19283s | had a lag not in reporting but in what |
19286s | we saw |
19288s | and we got the one player going out I |
19289s | think |
19290s | and then yeah it also kind of as a |
19292s | factor of I think beating Ram goes |
19294s | through doing so well right the rest of |
19297s | the players they don't have that many |
19298s | points to to take from so nine I mean if |
19301s | you look at the bottom players in lobby |
19303s | three they're just all done terribly |
19304s | right |
19305s | yeah there's the final for tomorrow that |
19310s | is our lineup the Rainy champion of him |
19312s | go through there once again says to say |
19314s | who we've seen over and over again there |
19316s | once again but also some of the players |
19319s | that we know and love |
19321s | um that's silly in particular better |
19322s | about it |
19324s | um penguin's son who was here last time |
19325s | CeCe it's just a great line I want to |
19327s | name everybody let's say eastleaf as |
19328s | well because he's my fantasy team |
19331s | because he's the only person I haven't |
19333s | mentioned |
19335s | there we go |
19336s | he's gonna win |
19339s | um I don't know I think now it's a tie |
19342s | between beta and room room ghost with me |
19344s | they are just so dominant in this Lobby |
19346s | and |
19347s | they um they didn't really also like |
19350s | give up as well our Coast on the last uh |
19353s | that last game when they maybe could |
19354s | have they like just took it all the way |
19356s | at the door they clear both really |
19358s | hungry just to win it and they had the |
19361s | skills to do so |
19362s | no absolutely |
19364s | um difficult lobby as well and they just |
19366s | looked Head and Shoulders above the |
19368s | others I think throughout that Lobby |
19369s | again sample size of three is a terrible |
19372s | thing but let's have a look how we did |
19375s | in our predictions |
19377s | ah |
19380s | wow |
19381s | you can talk about this I don't want to |
19383s | talk |
19384s | uh but yeah it looks like the only one I |
19388s | missed on was the lowest HP one which |
19391s | was |
19392s | um under over 4.5 that's kind of |
19395s | yeah surprised to see that no one really |
19396s | you know crushed it through but yeah |
19399s | there were some dominant performances we |
19402s | didn't see a single Mastermind game so |
19404s | yeah like I said I like massanoien but I |
19407s | think also the chances of it being |
19408s | picked and then winning is kind of low |
19409s | but I really would have liked to see it |
19411s | play it it's such a fun hero |
19415s | um The Tavern tier six we had that with |
19418s | um |
19419s | I think |
19420s | that's that one game right just uh be |
19422s | this game yeah so this looks pretty |
19424s | close the last game Mastery won but he |
19427s | leveled up at the last turn so |
19430s | yeah he just barely managed to get there |
19432s | in tier six and then the wisdom ball we |
19435s | saw I think one game but it didn't quite |
19437s | reach its potential with um the dragon |
19439s | pick unfortunately from Picos Eastlake |
19442s | maybe I think we might have seen it |
19444s | twice but only once where it got going I |
19446s | think xqa might have ended up with it in |
19448s | one game but he had he was dying as he |
19450s | picked it I think |
19452s | yeah but what's up |
19454s | I think we saw a lot of like 90 games |
19457s | yeah |
19458s | yeah don't forget you can check your |
19460s | scores as well on the on the app by |
19462s | clicking at the bottom of the screen I |
19464s | believe |
19469s | there we go there's the scores I don't |
19471s | look at one of them |
19472s | absolutely Massacre but it is only day |
19475s | one thankfully yeah catch up tomorrow |
19478s | and spoilers like Lee forgot to click |
19481s | bandwagon about half the time so I only |
19483s | won that by default as well |
19486s | it's always so hard to remember because |
19488s | there's so much stuff going on but |
19492s | yeah the um |
19494s | and I was still uh it's still a fun |
19496s | addition though I like that one just |
19497s | gotta remember next next time |
19499s | yeah I think TJ pictures out some |
19501s | fantastic blessings as well I think most |
19503s | of them were pretty |
19504s | um down to the wire especially the later |
19506s | ones with TJ sort of had a look at a few |
19508s | of them um they were pretty tough to |
19510s | call I would say that because you got |
19512s | them right and I didn't uh but yeah |
19514s | let's have a look at your score see how |
19515s | you're doing compared to me which would |
19517s | be like amateur standard and if you're |
19519s | beating Lee then I think you'll say your |
19521s | Pro standard except you'd remember to |
19523s | click even more than leaded that's where |
19525s | we're at today |
19526s | and if you do end up winning you know or |
19529s | beating either of us definitely mention |
19530s | in the chat and brag about it absolutely |
19534s | so that is the end of the first day just |
19536s | very quick clearly how have you found it |
19537s | you enjoyed yourself |
19539s | uh yeah I enjoyed it a lot |
19541s | um I feel like the games didn't actually |
19543s | go as long as I expected |
19545s | um there's only one game where it like |
19547s | really took a long time for the heads up |
19549s | that product study in murlocs |
19551s | um most part yeah pretty like a lot of |
19554s | varied strategies it's not Elementals |
19556s | win it's a particular win we saw murlocs |
19559s | we saw |
19561s | um maybe not Max exactly your base but |
19565s | it doesn't sound like that weird build |
19567s | that monster you had at the end Rose |
19568s | Cape Hydra and mermaidon |
19572s | yeah I mean I guess it just kind of goes |
19574s | to show that anything's kind of viable |
19575s | like even the constant mentioned that |
19577s | didn't win beast and mechs they still |
19579s | did fantastic today in terms of |
19581s | guaranteeing um spots for players |
19584s | yeah and going to tomorrow of course we |
19587s | will have a look to see those comps that |
19589s | can win the lobbies as soon as people |
19591s | get to 20 points they will be having to |
19594s | win to win the event so that will be |
19596s | exciting times but that is as done for |
19598s | day one we will be back to the same time |
19601s | tomorrow I believe with some more |
19603s | extension questions for you as well |
19604s | though I'll get that confirmed as we go |
19607s | live tomorrow but thanks for tuning in |
19608s | and we'll see you at the same time in |
19611s | tomorrow evening |
19613s | see all tomorrow |

19790s | close oh that's so cute |
19800s | he is only on um tier four as well so |
19803s | he's not guaranteed to kill Zito here |
19805s | guaranteed to take the win guaranteed to |
19808s | knock him out as well at seven damage |
