| 963s | that's going to be enough a lot of high |
| 966s | tier minions that's gonna do it 21 |
| 969s | damage |
| 970s | be honest they win Lobby Legends murloc |
| 974s | guys |
| 980s | hello everybody and welcome to another |
| 984s | edition of hearthstone Battlegrounds |
| 986s | Lobby Legends my name is TJ I'm joined |
| 988s | by the one the only wearing his cable |
| 992s | knit sweater here on the broadcast it's |
| 995s | subtle how you doing subtle hey TJ sorry |
| 998s | Flamingo Friday is exclusively the realm |
| 1001s | of constructed events and must must stay |
| 1003s | there forever Flamingo Friday must be |
| 1005s | protected I take it very seriously |
| 1007s | unfortunately it is a not for The Whimsy |
| 1011s | of Battlegrounds but I am very much |
| 1013s | looking forward to The Whimsy of |
| 1015s | Battlegrounds it's been a while since |
| 1017s | I've actually been in front of the |
| 1018s | camera doing one of these events |
| 1020s | normally I am behind the scenes pushing |
| 1022s | some buttons controlling what you people |
| 1024s | are looking at and talking about but |
| 1026s | this time I get to talk some nonsense of |
| 1027s | my own and I'm very excited about it oh |
| 1030s | I love talking some nonsense that's |
| 1033s | actually one of my favorite things to do |
| 1035s | but this is Hearthstone Battlegrounds |
| 1036s | Lobby Legends hollow's end |
| 1039s | also referred to as Lobby Legends number |
| 1042s | eight we're nearing the end of the year |
| 1044s | in terms of the lobby Legends circuit uh |
| 1047s | but we'll give you a little bit of an |
| 1049s | overview of what we're going to be |
| 1051s | experiencing nothing's really changed uh |
| 1053s | we have a top 16 or 16 of the top Global |
| 1057s | Battlegrounds players they're going to |
| 1059s | split into two eight players lobbies |
| 1061s | today while they'll play three games |
| 1063s | each the top four from each of those |
| 1065s | lobbies will advance to the final |
| 1067s | tomorrow that final Lobby will con |
| 1069s | assist or will feature the check format |
| 1073s | which means that the first player to win |
| 1076s | a lobby while holding 20 or more points |
| 1079s | becomes the champion I I've grown to |
| 1082s | enjoy this uh this format because it |
| 1085s | gives us subtle two days of very |
| 1088s | different styles of of Battlegrounds |
| 1091s | play yeah it really splits day one from |
| 1094s | day two for sure and then it also kind |
| 1096s | of forces drama into day two right |
| 1099s | there's the suspense of not quite |
| 1101s | knowing when the tournament is going to |
| 1102s | end you know once you're through once |
| 1104s | you're three four five games in to the |
| 1106s | final Lobby the the tournament could be |
| 1107s | ending at any moment and then personally |
| 1109s | just my biggest my favorite thing about |
| 1111s | it is when you are doing this kind of |
| 1113s | points-based system as you have to do in |
| 1114s | an auto battle in Battlegrounds it makes |
| 1117s | sure that the player who wins the |
| 1118s | tournament wins the tournament on a |
| 1121s | victory right the moment is climactic |
| 1123s | and they actually have to get a win |
| 1124s | under their belt there's none of that oh |
| 1126s | I got seventh and I fell over the line |
| 1128s | to win the tournament you know which I |
| 1130s | think is slightly less impactful overall |
| 1132s | so check format is something that I have |
| 1134s | become a pretty big fan of as well and |
| 1137s | hopefully we are going to get another |
| 1138s | pretty hyped day too as we have been for |
| 1140s | the last uh several events in a row |
| 1143s | yeah I've grown to appreciate the drama |
| 1145s | uh once we start to get into like game |
| 1148s | six game seven game eight |
| 1151s | um uh on the final day once we get into |
| 1153s | that check format uh I I've still yet to |
| 1156s | see uh in one of the lobby legends that |
| 1159s | I've worked on like a six plus |
| 1162s | Bobby like six plus players having the |
| 1164s | lobby in check |
| 1166s | um I've each one I've done has been |
| 1168s | around the four or five Mark so I'm I |
| 1171s | want all eight that's what I want I want |
| 1174s | all eight all eight players that have |
| 1177s | the lobby in check so we just we know |
| 1179s | that it's gonna be the final game the |
| 1181s | drama that that would uh that would |
| 1183s | entail would be quite cool |
| 1186s | um but uh from the last Lobby Legends uh |
| 1188s | we do have some uh changes that have |
| 1191s | come into the fold subtle |
| 1193s | um some some minor some larger the |
| 1195s | addition of some new uh quests and Quest |
| 1197s | rewards a couple new minions added |
| 1199s | couple minions removed |
| 1201s | um and as of three or five hours ago |
| 1205s | evil twin but we'll get into that uh uh |
| 1208s | in a bit because right now we want to |
| 1210s | talk about the tavern buddy extension |
| 1213s | that's right we have an extension uh |
| 1217s | exclusive to uh Hearthstone uh |
| 1220s | Battlegrounds Lobby Legends these first |
| 1222s | one let me let me take a step back these |
| 1226s | are little games that you can play in |
| 1227s | the extension where you can earn points |
| 1229s | and move your way up the leaderboard |
| 1231s | throughout the broadcast uh over the |
| 1233s | next couple days these four little boxes |
| 1235s | that you see on your screen these are |
| 1236s | each individual game that you can play |
| 1239s | Within the extension Sato and I will be |
| 1241s | playing along throughout the weekend |
| 1242s | we're also going to be keeping track of |
| 1244s | our scores uh so you can match |
| 1246s | yourselves up against sodomy as well to |
| 1248s | see how you fared against the casters |
| 1251s | but why don't you uh at least do the |
| 1253s | first two then I'll do the last two |
| 1255s | because the last two are my favorites |
| 1256s | okay show we're starting things off with |
| 1258s | fantasy team three players per group |
| 1261s | that you are building a squad to amass |
| 1263s | points on you based on how they finish |
| 1265s | in that individual groups three players |
| 1267s | from Lobby a three players from Lobby b |
| 1269s | as TJ mentioned TJ myself will be doing |
| 1272s | the same thing and you get to see |
| 1273s | whether you can stack up your predictive |
| 1276s | skills your player knowledge uh against |
| 1279s | two people who are supposed to do this |
| 1281s | for a living so I think that is probably |
| 1283s | the most straightforward if you're |
| 1284s | familiar with any kind of fantasy draft |
| 1286s | in anything that you do in Esports or |
| 1290s | even in analog Sports then you will be |
| 1292s | pretty familiar with what that means |
| 1294s | puzzle box a little bit more unique to |
| 1297s | what we are doing predict the events of |
| 1299s | today's matches is what it says what |
| 1301s | does that mean essentially is a series |
| 1303s | of yes or no questions that are part |
| 1307s | flipping coins part Battlegrounds meta |
| 1310s | knowledge you know things like for |
| 1312s | example to spoil one of the questions |
| 1314s | that we'll get into in a little bit will |
| 1316s | a player in a game without a full board |
| 1319s | now there's a very particular reason why |
| 1320s | we put that in as a question that again |
| 1322s | we'll get on to later it's the kind of |
| 1324s | thing where if you know the game you |
| 1326s | might be able to reverse engineer some |
| 1328s | of that knowledge into getting more |
| 1329s | consistent answers from the puzzle box |
| 1330s | or you can just guess and see what |
| 1333s | happens in that situation either |
| 1335s | strategy is valid |
| 1338s | um I'm a big fan of some of the |
| 1340s | questions today in particular one of |
| 1342s | them which leads us to our next |
| 1345s | uh Tavern buddy little mini game |
| 1349s | bandwagon bandwagon you have to guess |
| 1351s | the winner of an individual game based |
| 1354s | on the first four turns this is going to |
| 1357s | be open during the first four turns of |
| 1359s | every game that happens over the next |
| 1360s | two days |
| 1361s | uh the catch here is that the earlier |
| 1365s | you guess your winner you input your |
| 1367s | winner uh you have a potential to gain |
| 1371s | more points so you know let's say solid |
| 1373s | and I both guess uh the same player on |
| 1376s | our bandwagon pick for an individual |
| 1377s | game but I guess mine on turn one and |
| 1380s | subtle guest is on turn two then I would |
| 1383s | get more points than subtle even though |
| 1384s | we both got it correct so high risk High |
| 1387s | reward uh play going on with bandwagon |
| 1389s | which if you're really confident that |
| 1391s | someone's gonna win |
| 1393s | you pick them early you get all those |
| 1395s | points and of course the final 10 party |
| 1396s | game is going to be barob's blessing we |
| 1400s | didn't mention it but our shot caller |
| 1403s | spectator whatever you want to call them |
| 1405s | uh for this weekend is going to be none |
| 1408s | other than Neil Lorinda Bond Neil will |
| 1412s | choose uh one uh combat basically one by |
| 1417s | phase uh two players pitted up against |
| 1419s | each other you're gonna see them both |
| 1420s | appear on the screen at the same time |
| 1422s | it's going to say broth's blessing at |
| 1424s | the bottom you have to choose just by |
| 1427s | looking at their boards in the bi phase |
| 1430s | who's going to win that very next round |
| 1432s | of combat if you guess correctly you get |
| 1435s | points if you guess incorrectly you |
| 1437s | don't get any points if they tie |
| 1439s | everybody gets points |
| 1441s | amazing I love when they tie |
| 1443s | I was doing hand motions and I was going |
| 1445s | to try and be more composed when it came |
| 1448s | back to camera because I don't I don't |
| 1450s | want people to see just how excited I |
| 1452s | get for to everybody uh but you call a |
| 1454s | little Glimpse I'm |
| 1457s | this big excited yes indeed and in |
| 1460s | general terms you should see that |
| 1462s | overlay on the on oh you should see that |
| 1464s | extension on your twitch overlay right |
| 1466s | now several of those things will be open |
| 1468s | uh the stuff or the staff tournament |
| 1471s | ones fantasy team and uh puzzle box |
| 1473s | should be available right now uh in-game |
| 1476s | ones will happen as they happen but you |
| 1478s | can go and take a look at that now and |
| 1479s | start to get a head start on some of |
| 1481s | those twitch extensions and again scores |
| 1483s | will be kept leaderboards will be |
| 1485s | maintained and the Caster scores will be |
| 1487s | shown at the end of the days as well so |
| 1489s | you can stack yourselves up if you've |
| 1491s | ever wanted an opportunity to prove that |
| 1493s | I don't know what I'm talking about and |
| 1496s | you in chat know more well this is it |
| 1499s | this is it I wish I was in chat |
| 1504s | okay well moving along uh here's the |
| 1508s | points distribution distribution uh |
| 1512s | pretty standard right for first you get |
| 1514s | 7.7 to get one hit to get zero even |
| 1517s | splits across the board of course uh if |
| 1519s | we do have ties it just splits the |
| 1522s | difference it takes the uh average of uh |
| 1525s | the the players that finish but for |
| 1527s | example if two players tie for third |
| 1529s | they both get 4.5 if there's a three-way |
| 1532s | tie for fourth they get three points |
| 1535s | because fifth would be the middle ground |
| 1537s | there so |
| 1539s | we will show you a graphic at the end of |
| 1542s | each round that shows how many points |
| 1544s | players have earned in that Lobby so |
| 1547s | don't worry if you can't keep up we'll |
| 1548s | keep up for you |
| 1551s | you can see the prize pool is being |
| 1553s | played for 50 000 in total ten thousand |
| 1558s | dollars going to the player who finishes |
| 1560s | in first and you see that is a steep |
| 1562s | jump from second to first which |
| 1565s | massively incentivizes kind of the high |
| 1567s | risk play that we are looking for uh |
| 1570s | check format we talked about how that |
| 1571s | incentivizes and in fact mandates you |
| 1573s | going for wins in individual games |
| 1577s | um but I think the the prizable |
| 1578s | distribution here does a pretty good job |
| 1580s | as well of just making sure that people |
| 1582s | are playing for that win but more so |
| 1584s | than that prize pool I think being able |
| 1586s | to call yourself a Lobby Legends winner |
| 1588s | over the course of this uh debut year |
| 1591s | for Battlegrounds Esports uh means a lot |
| 1594s | more than any amount of money can |
| 1596s | possibly do well that's not true if |
| 1597s | you're gonna win a billion dollars |
| 1599s | that's probably more important but |
| 1601s | somewhere along that scale there is a |
| 1603s | cut-off point my my number would be a |
| 1606s | lot lower than them yeah than a billion |
| 1609s | if you told me that atj I will give you |
| 1614s | a hundred and fifty thousand dollars if |
| 1617s | you agree that you'll never be able to |
| 1619s | to be a champion of anything in |
| 1622s | Hearthstone or all eternity would you |
| 1625s | take it I would |
| 1630s | listen |
| 1632s | low I think my number is significantly |
| 1634s | higher than it's somewhere between 150 |
| 1637s | 000. odds of actually becoming the |
| 1640s | champion of anything in Hearthstone is |
| 1641s | much higher than mine that's true yeah |
| 1643s | no that is so I figure you know the odds |
| 1646s | are low right I plan to you know be be |
| 1650s | doing Hearthstone stuff for as long as I |
| 1653s | can but the likelihood that I become |
| 1654s | champion of anything |
| 1657s | is pretty low though we have had some |
| 1660s | Caster competitions in the past some of |
| 1663s | which I have been the champion of so it |
| 1668s | would feel bad to give up those because |
| 1671s | that's |
| 1672s | encapsulated in that Clause so 150 000 |
| 1676s | from make up for that but here are the |
| 1679s | puzzle box questions for the day so I |
| 1680s | don't know what we were going to retort |
| 1682s | well I was just gonna say if you really |
| 1683s | think about it when I move from Pro |
| 1685s | Player to Costa that is essentially what |
| 1688s | I ended up doing right like I took an |
| 1689s | amount of money guarantees to guarantee |
| 1692s | that I would never actually be a |
| 1693s | champion in Hearthstone and I can |
| 1695s | confirm it was one billion dollars so |
| 1698s | that's where it works out |
| 1700s | you can't confirm |
| 1703s | oh okay uh solo mentioned earlier the |
| 1706s | puzzle box questions are open here if |
| 1709s | you want a little bit of guidance I'd |
| 1711s | you know recommend that you go with the |
| 1712s | left column uh of the answers uh you |
| 1716s | cannot go wrong with TJ's puzzle box |
| 1718s | answers we've learned this uh will a |
| 1721s | player wins the Jailer both saddle and I |
| 1723s | said no uh well all six winners use a |
| 1725s | different hero we've different here uh |
| 1727s | this one's a toss-up for me I just kind |
| 1729s | of is yeah uh well a player won a game |
| 1732s | without reaching Tavern tier six |
| 1736s | yes |
| 1738s | yes happens all the time |
| 1741s | um and it only has to happen once right |
| 1743s | will a player win a game right it only |
| 1745s | has to happen once so we'll saddle |
| 1747s | correctly pick a bandwagon winner on |
| 1750s | turn one |
| 1751s | absolutely not |
| 1755s | oh I even picking purely at random we're |
| 1759s | gonna play six games today and I would |
| 1761s | have a one in eight chance of doing it |
| 1762s | purely by chance so I have six shots at |
| 1765s | a one and eight which means |
| 1766s | mathematically I should get it right at |
| 1768s | least once on average and I think my |
| 1770s | picks will be better than average so yes |
| 1773s | the real protest here is that |
| 1775s | essentially I'm being nerfed by putting |
| 1777s | this into the puzzle box questions I'm |
| 1778s | now being forced to make my uh my |
| 1781s | bandwagon picks on turn one every game |
| 1783s | because you know they they fear my |
| 1785s | analytical knowledge if I got to |
| 1787s | evaluate the board state for more than |
| 1789s | one turn I don't think it's as simple as |
| 1792s | um a one in eight uh times six because |
| 1795s | you have to factor in uh your |
| 1799s | physical I can't it's gonna be me I was |
| 1801s | gonna say your lack of Battlegrounds |
| 1802s | knowledge |
| 1804s | I feel like uh it's it's even less than |
| 1807s | one and eight because you're more likely |
| 1810s | to pick the wrong one because you know |
| 1812s | anything |
| 1814s | is a not accurate B not even how |
| 1818s | statistics work but yes moving on will a |
| 1820s | player win without a full board in their |
| 1822s | final turn uh no I'm pretty sure we both |
| 1824s | had yes for this question up until |
| 1826s | specifically last night uh when a |
| 1830s | particularly uh impactful patch hit the |
| 1833s | game a hotfix was snuck in changing a |
| 1836s | khadgar evil twin scenario which I think |
| 1839s | would have almost guaranteed that we saw |
| 1841s | a winner without a full board and also |
| 1843s | was a big influence about winning games |
| 1845s | without going to turn six honestly |
| 1847s | because that caggar strategy is |
| 1848s | something you can do without going to |
| 1850s | turn six but with that being hot fixed |
| 1852s | out last minute the players have a very |
| 1855s | very rapid adjustment to be able to make |
| 1857s | as to what the metagame now looks like |
| 1860s | with that adjustment and we have had a |
| 1862s | minor adjustment to make on what our |
| 1863s | puzzle box picks are as well yeah a |
| 1866s | minor adjustment we did the exact |
| 1869s | opposite uh let's see that's a little |
| 1871s | bit more severe than a minor adjustment |
| 1874s | and then the final question will a |
| 1876s | player win a game with wisdom ball you |
| 1878s | gotta have faith in the last Lobby |
| 1881s | Legends it literally happened in the |
| 1883s | first game |
| 1885s | of the entire weekend Lobby won game one |
| 1889s | it happened |
| 1891s | um so I'm going with Yes again uh love |
| 1894s | wisdom ball and uh yeah I have faith I |
| 1898s | have faith uh there's uh you know so |
| 1901s | some high priority quests have have been |
| 1904s | added so maybe the pick rate of wisdom |
| 1906s | ball will change |
| 1908s | but I still feel like it's it's good |
| 1909s | we're gonna see players pick it and then |
| 1911s | it's just one and eight times however |
| 1913s | many Maybe |
| 1916s | yep and here is the eight that will be |
| 1918s | looking to be the one that picks up each |
| 1921s | individual Victory group a remember of |
| 1924s | course this is the pool of players that |
| 1925s | you are picking your fantasy team from |
| 1928s | for group a uh particular standout for |
| 1931s | me just looking at this group of players |
| 1933s | is say say he has been an absolute |
| 1937s | monster throughout the program this |
| 1939s | entire year is holding down a phenomenal |
| 1943s | top four win rate in the tournament as a |
| 1946s | whole up until this point has been a |
| 1949s | recurring performer has a first and a |
| 1951s | second overall under his belt as well as |
| 1954s | an additional top 16 and remember |
| 1956s | anytime these players appear on stream |
| 1958s | they've already gone through the ladder |
| 1960s | qualifying phase and an off-stream |
| 1962s | tournament to make it to this point so |
| 1964s | say say even showing up multiple times |
| 1966s | is impressive let alone picking up the |
| 1968s | results he needs so a player to keep |
| 1970s | your eye on for sure one of the real |
| 1972s | breakout stars of Lobby Legends this |
| 1975s | year |
| 1976s | well |
| 1977s | my breakout star for group a is Kurt |
| 1980s | that's right it's Kurt |
| 1986s | what |
| 1990s | smile TJ different |
| 1994s | Kurt |
| 1995s | previous graphic oh |
| 1999s | yeah same Curt different different photo |
| 2002s | um EJ's just such Aficionado he just |
| 2005s | noticed a disturbance in the Curt for |
| 2007s | another picture she noticed a |
| 2009s | disturbance in the Curt yeah |
| 2011s | um Kurt uh had a good start to the Gear |
| 2016s | um got into the top eight in the very |
| 2019s | first uh Lobby legends that we had raid |
| 2022s | leaders I think it was |
| 2024s | um since then hasn't actually made it to |
| 2025s | a broadcast phase of Lobby Legends but |
| 2029s | Lobby latency is the time to turn it |
| 2032s | around to Gap off the year and then cap |
| 2035s | it off again in lobby Legends nine |
| 2038s | uh with some dubs so uh we both have |
| 2041s | senior health uh senior health uh been |
| 2044s | um pretty consistent at least in sort of |
| 2046s | the the second half of the year with a |
| 2050s | broadcast appearance at least in the |
| 2052s | last Lobby Legends so |
| 2054s | uh should be fun should be fun both our |
| 2056s | fantasy teams are pretty solid but I |
| 2060s | have the current advantage |
| 2062s | you have the the not picking say say |
| 2065s | Nerf in fact on that side and there we |
| 2067s | go straight in with a bullet to Lobby a |
| 2072s | game number one we are looking at say |
| 2075s | say of course previous winner of Lobby |
| 2077s | Legend six runner-up in lobby Legends |
| 2080s | five and someone that I am picking to do |
| 2082s | very well yet again interesting choices |
| 2085s | here new when would be the one I would |
| 2088s | gravitate towards say say does seem to |
| 2090s | agree uh zarella I think historically |
| 2093s | has been an extremely high tier hero but |
| 2095s | I think personally is struggling a |
| 2097s | little bit in the current meta game uh |
| 2100s | ways to abuse gold right now I think are |
| 2103s | a little bit less important uh ways to |
| 2106s | abuse Tempo is generally what the meta |
| 2108s | is right now |
| 2110s | um and you know the the ability to buy |
| 2111s | an extra minion for two gold not quite |
| 2113s | as impactful as it has been in some |
| 2114s | previous meta games so we are gonna get |
| 2117s | some Panda action instead and this is |
| 2120s | going to be a Elise hey watch out L hear |
| 2125s | about |
| 2126s | yep yeah like it don't really don't |
| 2128s | really have uh to worry about the |
| 2129s | downside as much |
| 2132s | um because |
| 2133s | Master win |
| 2134s | and has a nice little uh shop with the |
| 2137s | Sun Bank and relax and be able to do it |
| 2139s | look at all those block chips oh gosh a |
| 2143s | double |
| 2144s | a little bit scary faulty Health hero |
| 2146s | being able to kind of take a ramp start |
| 2148s | in this situation like settlemental star |
| 2150s | or a sunbaking star start with your week |
| 2153s | in the initial fight because starting to |
| 2155s | take damage early at 40 Health uh when |
| 2157s | you're then going to get a very slow |
| 2159s | quest to complete which will probably |
| 2160s | bleed you some health as well always a |
| 2163s | little bit scary but uh don't think |
| 2164s | anything else was luckily worthwhile |
| 2167s | it's turn two oh no |
| 2171s | saddle did not get his bandwagon pick in |
| 2175s | on turn one so that's |
| 2177s | one out of six down for me in terms of |
| 2182s | uh puzzle box questions so if you |
| 2184s | haven't put in your post box which I |
| 2186s | don't know if it's closed yet but uh |
| 2188s | I don't even pick a bandwagon pick for |
| 2190s | turn one in game one so I was just |
| 2192s | waiting I put I literally put mine in |
| 2194s | instantly |
| 2195s | [Laughter] |
| 2197s | so |
| 2198s | I've never done this before TJ I'm too |
| 2200s | used to be switching perspectives I'm |
| 2202s | out of practice all right I'm sorry I'm |
| 2204s | sorry any any believers in chat I'm |
| 2207s | sorry I've let you down I will refocus |
| 2209s | trust me next game we're gonna nail it |
| 2211s | first try okay and it will be first try |
| 2213s | because I didn't even try this game |
| 2216s | I picked Kurt before Kurt even picked a |
| 2219s | hero |
| 2220s | no Kurt |
| 2224s | I'm a little bit regretful but still |
| 2227s | gotta have uh faith in in the Curt |
| 2231s | um c'thun's at least to me is not really |
| 2233s | like a a winning hero agrees yeah up for |
| 2237s | uh type of hero which makes sense |
| 2239s | actually for this group stage because uh |
| 2242s | like we both mentioned it's top four or |
| 2245s | bus right it's all you need to do is |
| 2247s | secure enough points to be in that top |
| 2249s | four because points are reset going into |
| 2250s | the finals tomorrow it doesn't matter if |
| 2252s | you finish in first or fourth uh it's |
| 2254s | the same outcome uh for you no seating |
| 2256s | no nothing so |
| 2260s | um did we see what uh I I was probably |
| 2263s | putting my bandwagon Pig what Olex uh |
| 2266s | initial Quest was I don't believe |
| 2270s | we started off on Master no end to see |
| 2273s | what that initial hero power was since |
| 2274s | we started there anyway so I don't think |
| 2276s | we got to see the dinastrius there we go |
| 2278s | six minions for shifter zarai which is |
| 2282s | not a bad first Quest not particularly |
| 2284s | difficult to complete and does give you |
| 2286s | some initial uh Tempo early on which is |
| 2290s | something you're generally looking for |
| 2291s | from that first and atheros Quest |
| 2293s | especially now taking an early hit again |
| 2295s | 40 Health Heroes taking damage early on |
| 2298s | is always a little bit worrying |
| 2300s | yeah but and I feel like that's a good |
| 2304s | question earlier because it increases |
| 2306s | the likelihood that you get a high roll |
| 2308s | series yes and uh can just run away with |
| 2312s | the game |
| 2315s | I've really been liking uh kidnap sack |
| 2319s | it's so good it's so good cooked book is |
| 2323s | also good but Place six Battle Cry |
| 2325s | minions is |
| 2328s | um pretty like anti-tempo |
| 2332s | yes normally unless the shop is |
| 2335s | incredibly kind to you it's a kind of |
| 2338s | cookbook that you're gonna start scaling |
| 2340s | like turn eight turn nine and even then |
| 2343s | that would probably involve like staying |
| 2345s | down levels yeah and if you're stuck if |
| 2347s | on turn nine the first thing your quest |
| 2350s | has done is given plus one plus one to |
| 2352s | the next minion that you buy you are |
| 2354s | probably bleeding to death at that point |
| 2356s | so probably a little bit too slow for my |
| 2358s | liking |
| 2360s | someone gonna die you think |
| 2363s | I think based on the fact that the |
| 2366s | lowest Health player is say say who's at |
| 2369s | 34 and the Damage cap is still on seems |
| 2373s | kind of unlikely yeah oh look at this |
| 2376s | star and I like this |
| 2380s | double patient scale and decent Tempo |
| 2383s | from the robors as well this is uh |
| 2386s | pretty good those the robors I think are |
| 2388s | going to allow uh |
| 2390s | uh basically |
| 2395s | stay ahead or even uh in most fights |
| 2398s | because they're they're big enough to |
| 2399s | where they're snowballing and getting a |
| 2400s | Bloodshed in every turn so you make them |
| 2401s | bigger which makes it more likely to |
| 2402s | keep getting blood gems and then you can |
| 2404s | cash in |
| 2405s | uh you know three four turns from now |
| 2407s | and get something big so I like this |
| 2411s | oh that is a nasty value trade and the |
| 2416s | end though is going to take the damage |
| 2417s | from a two drop here either way but yeah |
| 2419s | it's a decent board you have a nice kind |
| 2420s | of 50 50 split right a couple of greedy |
| 2422s | minions with the patient Scout so you |
| 2423s | can milk for Value but at the same time |
| 2425s | the road balls are fighting for Tempo a |
| 2428s | little bit to defend some health and |
| 2429s | ideally I thinking would be looking to |
| 2432s | get through those early fights without |
| 2433s | taking a significant amount of damage uh |
| 2435s | so an unfortunate loss there to the |
| 2437s | jandus in the end who was fairly strong |
| 2439s | for that turn yeah |
| 2441s | yeah at our first uh triple presented to |
| 2446s | us here |
| 2447s | uh oh wow actually no it's not it's the |
| 2450s | second triple because already has the uh |
| 2453s | the tabby cat uh tripled on board |
| 2457s | um so |
| 2460s | Ken |
| 2464s | what was it Pirates and quilbore powers |
| 2466s | and demons I believe Iris and demons |
| 2469s | okay |
| 2470s | well |
| 2472s | that's gonna be a ways away I feel |
| 2477s | I had a patient Scout whoa okay |
| 2482s | does that Banner board I guess to help |
| 2484s | with Tempo slightly but it's going to be |
| 2487s | a pretty weak board especially if Billy |
| 2489s | decides to Tavern up again next turn to |
| 2492s | try and find something big from that |
| 2493s | Alley Cat triple yeah and I I do think |
| 2496s | again it's always hard to it's always |
| 2498s | hard to predict how The Meta is going to |
| 2502s | function uh I know competitive |
| 2505s | environment compared to ladder but right |
| 2507s | now on ladder at high MMR The Meta is |
| 2509s | quite Tempo focused these kind of greedy |
| 2512s | scaling quests are often fully doubt |
| 2514s | there's like one player that hits in |
| 2516s | super high rolls and they beat everyone |
| 2519s | eventually but the tempo players bully |
| 2521s | everyone out of the lobby that's |
| 2523s | essentially how things go |
| 2525s | um so you can kind of see that right |
| 2527s | with cooking here with a massive board |
| 2529s | already has refused even to hold on to |
| 2532s | those patient Scouts for maximum value |
| 2534s | cash them out has taken a huge board |
| 2536s | state in general and you can compare |
| 2538s | that to what oleek is doing on the other |
| 2540s | side right like imagine these two boards |
| 2542s | fighting each other right now there |
| 2545s | would not be a happy outcome for olliek |
| 2548s | although those shift azerus are starting |
| 2551s | to pay out a little bit here yeah |
| 2556s | with a Peggy uh that could be |
| 2560s | quite interesting but looks like I hate |
| 2563s | leg day okay it looks like |
| 2567s | I'm gonna hold for a second but it's |
| 2569s | gonna take the triple for a five |
| 2572s | uh this is |
| 2574s | we could be looking at Pirates oh okay |
| 2576s | Vanessa Van Cleef that's not |
| 2578s | the pirate I was thinking of but uh |
| 2581s | still some good scaling going on |
| 2586s | it's also I mean agamis bait almost |
| 2589s | exclusively a hundred percent of the |
| 2591s | time uh don't argue with me TJ I know |
| 2594s | you're dying to right now |
| 2596s | oh but yeah no here's the thing |
| 2599s | on board exactly yeah bannable and the |
| 2603s | xerus into the pig probably makes it |
| 2605s | appealing here and this is kind of what |
| 2606s | I'm talking about this is almost again |
| 2609s | just the highest Tempo thing that oliet |
| 2611s | can do this turn and I think his |
| 2612s | understanding that he needs to go Tempo |
| 2614s | here especially going up against a |
| 2615s | kertras on the other side as I mentioned |
| 2617s | at the start of the turn he hadn't have |
| 2619s | done this this turn he was going to get |
| 2621s | brutally murdered by his opponent |
| 2623s | probably taking a full 15. it's still |
| 2626s | not pretty but he might be able to not |
| 2629s | get damage capped here with the uh the |
| 2631s | extra aggression he's gone for on the |
| 2632s | board |
| 2633s | yeah no this is a much closer |
| 2637s | in fact well I can't see okay |
| 2641s | I was thinking they might have been able |
| 2643s | to isolate one minute if had uh better |
| 2645s | trades but uh seven not too bad uh |
| 2648s | considering uh what oleak went into that |
| 2651s | turn uh with on his board |
| 2654s | yeah we gotta kidnap sack complete we |
| 2656s | got some murlocs going on |
| 2660s | foreign |
| 2665s | back to the hand |
| 2670s | decent board uh probably also is again |
| 2673s | going to get murdered by the incredible |
| 2675s | High Tempo kerchrist on the other side |
| 2676s | from kunking which seems to be the theme |
| 2678s | of these early fights |
| 2684s | king of pirates huh okay |
| 2688s | there's a Peggy |
| 2697s | what was the quest |
| 2700s | look |
| 2702s | uh five Battlegrounds for yeah plus |
| 2705s | three plus three only henchmen any |
| 2708s | henchmen now |
| 2711s | I was thinking about the swabby who I |
| 2714s | really need these battle cries |
| 2716s | I mean it's not ridiculous right if you |
| 2718s | don't think you're going to play Peggy |
| 2719s | long term uh swabby does theoretically |
| 2723s | give you some curved stuff to do next |
| 2724s | turn as well and activate the quest but |
| 2727s | I think it's a difference between you |
| 2728s | know tiny henchman yeah it's a nice |
| 2730s | quest to have but it's not one of those |
| 2731s | quests you're like okay I'm gonna |
| 2733s | revolve my whole game plan around |
| 2735s | completing this Quest and then it's |
| 2736s | gonna win me the game you know right |
| 2737s | which I think is a different situation |
| 2739s | where you might pick swabby there but |
| 2740s | instead uh just leaning into the parrot |
| 2743s | trickster combo just trying to dump a |
| 2745s | bunch of Health around on his board help |
| 2747s | fight for 10 per bit in the early game |
| 2748s | and I think so far you are seeing very |
| 2751s | very Tempo focused play from most of our |
| 2754s | players up until this point right you |
| 2756s | don't see people with four or five |
| 2758s | Minions on their board right now |
| 2759s | greeding to Triple into a six right |
| 2761s | which is something that you might have |
| 2763s | been used to seeing historically in high |
| 2764s | level lobbies that's not really |
| 2766s | happening at the moment unless Lorinda |
| 2769s | can show us otherwise but at players |
| 2771s | just playing their stuff completing |
| 2772s | their quests defending their health and |
| 2774s | just trying to play for Tempo is around |
| 2776s | as possible |
| 2783s | I'll do that now Victory but a victory |
| 2787s | nonetheless |
| 2789s | and uh I mean tiny hancherman could be |
| 2791s | good with the the trickster like you |
| 2794s | know you said not revolving the game |
| 2795s | plan around it but double my call with |
| 2799s | an already large trickster that tiny |
| 2801s | hamster can be completed soon |
| 2803s | uh could be looking at you know pretty |
| 2806s | cool board state with uh like Baron |
| 2809s | later on but |
| 2810s | we'll see that's still a few turns away |
| 2812s | because of five BattleCraft meetings I |
| 2813s | don't think this is had any progress on |
| 2815s | so it's gonna be a a little bit of time |
| 2818s | before we see anything happen Okay got a |
| 2820s | six here uh I get yeah Goldring |
| 2826s | quite good |
| 2830s | yeah all right keep on tripping |
| 2839s | uh those are not really it probably just |
| 2844s | gonna end up being a manted yep seems |
| 2846s | good to me |
| 2847s | uh senior health has repeated discover |
| 2850s | another hidden body the condition being |
| 2851s | friendly minions attack eight times so |
| 2853s | if he's playing death rally beasts he's |
| 2856s | basically just going to discover a free |
| 2858s | minion at the start of every turn is the |
| 2860s | way this is gonna work in practice from |
| 2862s | here yep |
| 2866s | oh |
| 2867s | pretty good start I mean I say start but |
| 2870s | it's turned heat so |
| 2873s | we're we're not like super far into this |
| 2875s | game we're gonna start seeing our first |
| 2876s | first deaths here soon it looks like |
| 2879s | it's going to be uh tattoo |
| 2884s | yeah I'm not sure if we've sent you to |
| 2886s | at all up until this point |
| 2889s | you two tattoo one of those yeah nope I |
| 2892s | haven't seen I like turtle there's two |
| 2895s | T's yeah Fair uh first appearance in |
| 2899s | population to any stage so pregnancy not |
| 2903s | having the best start here but uh I |
| 2906s | don't think we've seen Ted is bored at |
| 2907s | all so |
| 2908s | I could have some scaling going on but |
| 2911s | needs to do it fast uh because we're |
| 2914s | start where damage cap is uh not |
| 2917s | relevant uh below 15 so oh my gosh this |
| 2922s | hyena is going so hard right now |
| 2926s | okay it's a good trade that guarantees |
| 2928s | at least a tie no it doesn't the value |
| 2931s | trade on the final imp going to the left |
| 2933s | means that senior held is going to take |
| 2934s | some damage okay tattoo here is the |
| 2937s | wisdom ball player by the way this is oh |
| 2939s | yeah or puzzle box choices and does find |
| 2943s | himself on brand murlocs we didn't |
| 2945s | actually |
| 2946s | too much into the makeup of the lobby |
| 2949s | um it's weird the term murloc Lobby has |
| 2952s | kind of changed meaning a little bit |
| 2954s | over time normally you would just say |
| 2955s | that as Facebook this is a murloc Lobby |
| 2957s | I.E a Lobby that murlocs are in but I |
| 2960s | think specifically murloc Lobby has now |
| 2963s | come to mean Lobby that murlocs are in |
| 2965s | the beasts and mechs are not because |
| 2967s | those are the lobbies that murlocs kind |
| 2968s | of win for free uh be some mechs having |
| 2971s | the best chance to stand up against |
| 2973s | murlocs oh my gosh |
| 2975s | I was laughing at the uh the four I mean |
| 2980s | where's the bomb board yes what was that |
| 2983s | that specific puzzle box role by the way |
| 2986s | what it does is it rolls three minions |
| 2988s | and then I believe Phil's the last two |
| 2990s | spots with minions from the dominant |
| 2993s | minion type that you have on board so |
| 2994s | the fact that they were Primal fence is |
| 2996s | actually still absurdly lucky even |
| 2999s | without the uh even with factoring in |
| 3002s | that it's wisdom ball being giving |
| 3003s | beneficial roles |
| 3008s | yeah honchos here makes sense toxins are |
| 3012s | the premium you do not what okay I was |
| 3015s | gonna say you do not want that yeah I |
| 3018s | was going to pick a swarf in there just |
| 3019s | to have a strong report next turn is |
| 3021s | that 12 Health yes agreed but Google's a |
| 3024s | massive hit there though really |
| 3026s | surprised that the third toxin was taken |
| 3028s | though because it does mean that you |
| 3029s | only get |
| 3030s | one toxin Battle Cry in that situation |
| 3033s | which is a little bit strange uh did |
| 3036s | allow him to Triple into the burger |
| 3037s | which was of course a massive amount of |
| 3039s | stats overall |
| 3043s | yeah and because the less poison these |
| 3046s | traits aren't the best they are not no |
| 3050s | I think and let's get really dirty still |
| 3053s | should be fine here at least not uh yeah |
| 3056s | it's gonna be a tie yeah |
| 3058s | um but I I liked just picking up a swole |
| 3061s | fin at some point and that was offered |
| 3062s | it twice just to get a little bit more |
| 3064s | stats on the board wow and that's like a |
| 3067s | basically like a full murloc shop as |
| 3068s | well uh on the re-roll so |
| 3074s | I've been around all over the place here |
| 3075s | Kurt has the dream |
| 3079s | materializing ever so slowly is down at |
| 3082s | 12 health and this is not a great board |
| 3085s | for this stage of the game that mantid |
| 3087s | could do some work for sure uh but that |
| 3090s | is a little bit uh underwhelming in |
| 3092s | terms of total stats but still oh still |
| 3096s | needs one picky though |
| 3098s | the only scaling is coming from uh the |
| 3101s | the salty looters okay Eliza okay |
| 3106s | oh my God that's so much gold there's so |
| 3108s | much gold |
| 3110s | it really is yeah and the thing is like |
| 3112s | you say he needs a Peggy but when you |
| 3114s | hit four Hoggers it doesn't necessarily |
| 3117s | matter what you then do with the rest of |
| 3120s | your board right like people think you |
| 3122s | have to go Peggy salty looter Pirates |
| 3124s | whatever when you have infinite ogre you |
| 3126s | can buy any comp you want you just have |
| 3128s | infinite gold it's harder to build |
| 3130s | something else instead of just buying |
| 3132s | Pirates naturally which is what's going |
| 3133s | to ramp your gold anyway but the main |
| 3136s | part is just get four Hoggers and then |
| 3138s | you win you know you can do anything you |
| 3140s | want from that position |
| 3144s | oh my goodness the shops have been |
| 3148s | terrible okay it gets a poison |
| 3151s | it's pretty good |
| 3157s | well there's a Peggy in the shop |
| 3163s | it's just gonna get the buff out of the |
| 3164s | way now just to make sure that he |
| 3166s | actually gets it |
| 3168s | in some ways |
| 3170s | all conditioning on the scally as well |
| 3172s | because scally is the biggest dumper |
| 3175s | stats with the Eliza does end on hero |
| 3177s | power as well just to dump that extra |
| 3178s | few stats on board uh probably gonna |
| 3181s | work out if he does end up going |
| 3182s | infinitely he's going to have the spare |
| 3184s | Health uh spare gold at the end of the |
| 3186s | turn anyway to always do that so it |
| 3188s | makes sense overall that's a really good |
| 3190s | trade for Kurt by the way the the |
| 3192s | largest minion on the left-hand side not |
| 3194s | picking up a value trade in that spot |
| 3196s | it's huge |
| 3203s | a little tie yeah that is a tie yep okay |
| 3206s | that's a good thing I feel that's poor |
| 3210s | Kurt because now is going to be be |
| 3213s | scaling uh quite well in trickster oh no |
| 3216s | my fantasy team |
| 3220s | trickster |
| 3223s | I did also have senior held in my |
| 3225s | fantasy team though so we can call that |
| 3227s | one a wash at the very least |
| 3233s | yeah and that a new uh |
| 3239s | hitting nothing yeah but you can almost |
| 3242s | afford to hit nothing with jandus kidnap |
| 3245s | sack on brand murlocs because you |
| 3247s | already have a bunch of Primal fins that |
| 3250s | you can play just with that one Primal |
| 3252s | fin that you have on board |
| 3259s | yeah I'm gonna talk to in the Primal fan |
| 3261s | because you're gonna be keeping it here |
| 3262s | anyway it makes sense |
| 3266s | foreign |
| 3290s | it's really close the natural Divine |
| 3293s | shield on tattoo side but then having |
| 3295s | the selfless Heroes it really depends on |
| 3297s | whether zenu decides to put this |
| 3298s | selfless hero in which he does end up |
| 3301s | doing |
| 3303s | uh |
| 3307s | just like that did I do it right |
| 3310s | yeah |
| 3317s | I it it's like wait wait they weren't |
| 3321s | able to sing each other |
| 3332s | all right how does this work do we all |
| 3335s | get points yeah what happens now I mean |
| 3338s | broadcast I picked Tatu so |
| 3342s | pretty sure that means I get points uh |
| 3345s | well I picked I picked your new who also |
| 3348s | won so I'm pretty sure I get points as |
| 3349s | well so yeah everyone gets points |
| 3351s | everyone gets points yeah |
| 3354s | laughs |
| 3358s | that's that's the most Lorinda moment |
| 3361s | I've ever experienced in my entire |
| 3363s | existence yeah yeah I mean what could |
| 3365s | possibly go wrong right giving a 75 year |
| 3367s | old man a production console right |
| 3369s | [Laughter] |
| 3373s | give him a stream deck and say you |
| 3376s | figure it out |
| 3380s | oh |
| 3383s | ah meanwhile |
| 3387s | how to is now very much stabilized has |
| 3391s | picked up those uh Divine shield murlocs |
| 3393s | from the puzzle uh from the wisdom ball |
| 3396s | which is huge uh speaking of uh |
| 3399s | extension hopefully the uh for those of |
| 3402s | you who have bet yes on the wisdom ball |
| 3404s | winning again uh tattoo will continue to |
| 3406s | march on here |
| 3414s | delno fourth hogger for Kurt come on |
| 3422s | it's going on out here |
| 3426s | it's just marching on through this turn |
| 3431s | that's kind of what I mean right like |
| 3432s | big minion big minion and then poison |
| 3435s | scam everywhere else right he's not |
| 3437s | leaning too hard into the Pirates the |
| 3439s | Peggy is not even making the board State |
| 3441s | here he understands that particularly |
| 3443s | without going infinite in this spot he |
| 3445s | is better off just leaning a little bit |
| 3446s | harder into the poison scam as well |
| 3448s | which makes sense to me overall yeah |
| 3454s | and uh is going to be going up against |
| 3456s | tattoo so |
| 3458s | we saw tedu have a really good uh shop |
| 3461s | when we left the board and already had |
| 3464s | strong murlocs uh with Divine Shields so |
| 3469s | okay |
| 3470s | mannequin lives which is big |
| 3475s | [Music] |
| 3479s | we now have four attacks passes five |
| 3481s | attacks poison is left on everything |
| 3483s | which means this is a guaranteed victory |
| 3486s | on the other side but we're just the |
| 3488s | rockpool living Kurt is going to survive |
| 3491s | live to fight another day cooking's |
| 3494s | still just winning fights on this |
| 3496s | extremely Tempe Tempo heavy cartridge |
| 3498s | game up until this point have not seen |
| 3500s | him for a while and now there we are |
| 3502s | seeing these leaning a little more |
| 3504s | heavily into the Bell bat angle |
| 3507s | olig meanwhile has continued to live the |
| 3510s | dream with the uh the agam that I called |
| 3512s | bait early on |
| 3520s | and just about gets there gets that huge |
| 3524s | kill as well on say say knocking him out |
| 3527s | nice and early say say a player from my |
| 3530s | fantasy team player that I'm picking |
| 3532s | overall to do very well in this |
| 3533s | tournament going out in sixth place |
| 3534s | olliek now has picked up a big victory |
| 3538s | see what he is doing with this |
| 3541s | spellcraft Quest you would imagine has |
| 3544s | just been juicing the agum |
| 3547s | oh yeah |
| 3549s | I mean it depends right you can kind of |
| 3552s | wait and see how many blood gems you |
| 3553s | pick up on any individual term because |
| 3555s | it might even still just be better to |
| 3556s | kidnap sack the trickster in some |
| 3558s | situations right just to get the the |
| 3560s | golden Health buff flying around problem |
| 3563s | is you would imagine olliek has been |
| 3566s | dodging all the murloc players up until |
| 3568s | this point with this board because this |
| 3571s | board does absolutely nothing against |
| 3573s | poison murlocs it's just stats yep uh |
| 3577s | which I can appreciate I I love me some |
| 3580s | agam stats but uh with gem splitter |
| 3584s | being gone I feel like agum has |
| 3587s | uh I guess a ball of minions it's still |
| 3590s | fine in you know some lobbies I was I |
| 3595s | was talking as if this was golden Hammer |
| 3596s | it's no it's kidnap sack I'm being |
| 3598s | stupid my apologies |
| 3600s | they have the same oh no no they don't |
| 3603s | they're both spell crap but they're not |
| 3605s | on the same Market it's literally a sack |
| 3607s | saddle yeah yeah exactly it's a picture |
| 3609s | of a |
| 3611s | service looks like it could be used for |
| 3612s | kidnapping what an idiotic boob I am |
| 3616s | okay |
| 3617s | it's probably like for years yep no damn |
| 3621s | straight you know lorindo is a good |
| 3622s | friend of mine I just thought I'd do |
| 3623s | something dumb to get the heat of |
| 3625s | Lorinda ah yes |
| 3627s | little kind yep |
| 3633s | oh no |
| 3636s | [Music] |
| 3638s | 50 50 to survive at the end if the agam |
| 3641s | had gone left into the brand found the |
| 3642s | value trade and then would have traded |
| 3644s | one for one on the other side don't know |
| 3645s | what the odds were on the fight overall |
| 3647s | but certainly at the very end there |
| 3648s | there was a 50 50 to be found |
| 3650s | are two rolling down super hard now hits |
| 3653s | the tech cardboard which now includes a |
| 3656s | couple of new cards uh from the the new |
| 3659s | set that has come out but still the |
| 3662s | cards that you might just be looking for |
| 3664s | here uh tunnel Blaster is a thought |
| 3667s | obviously you do have a couple of divine |
| 3668s | Shields of your own oh oh running it |
| 3670s | back |
| 3672s | take two |
| 3673s | why'd this one be wrong okay this one's |
| 3676s | right I know this one's right |
| 3682s | um |
| 3687s | so I guess we're still calling this one |
| 3689s | right in terms of our data entry |
| 3692s | still only one selfless on on Kurt's |
| 3696s | side |
| 3697s | there's two million types for the minute |
| 3700s | Queen |
| 3701s | and kunking has the Leroy plus a |
| 3705s | selfless of his own plus a Divine Shield |
| 3707s | plus two poisons two working on my |
| 3710s | thought process here |
| 3713s | two mounteds on two minion types as well |
| 3717s | yeah |
| 3718s | in terms of the stats of the Minions |
| 3720s | that matter this 140 140 covers |
| 3722s | everything though so I do actually think |
| 3724s | this is a pretty good choice I think |
| 3726s | this is a very close fight good job |
| 3728s | Lorinda assuming they are actually |
| 3730s | fighting each other yeah assuming |
| 3732s | they're playing against each other |
| 3736s | the white man attacked on and right at |
| 3738s | the end but smack dab in the middle and |
| 3741s | it's a minion already with time so |
| 3745s | that's good though Divine Shield proc |
| 3748s | that was the one you wanted Leroy takes |
| 3750s | down a poison those trade one for one |
| 3752s | this Divine Shield is now going to |
| 3753s | guarantee do nothing unless it goes |
| 3755s | right no that's a big deal |
| 3758s | and that is going to spell disaster for |
| 3761s | our hero and Kung King is picking up the |
| 3764s | victory on this one eliminating Kurt in |
| 3767s | fourth place a valiant effort from uh |
| 3770s | TJ's favorite player in the tournament |
| 3773s | we still got Turtle left in near wisdom |
| 3775s | ball we could see it on the first game |
| 3777s | again sorrow |
| 3785s | you always have faith you always believe |
| 3788s | in the wisdom ball always believe in the |
| 3790s | wisdom ball |
| 3792s | oh a baron |
| 3794s | one step closer and with wisdom ball oh |
| 3798s | you get a baron every time |
| 3804s | he didn't even need to discover |
| 3817s | the walking Fort Valley oh |
| 3823s | wait what |
| 3826s | you tread on sacred ground oh just |
| 3830s | making board space I guess and doesn't |
| 3831s | want to sell the mannequin okay |
| 3839s | uh is it three more three murloc players |
| 3842s | uh yeah in the top three |
| 3846s | nope I forgot about no uh it's the I |
| 3851s | don't even know what you'd call this |
| 3853s | it's Menagerie I mean it yeah it's you |
| 3856s | can call it Menagerie it's still |
| 3858s | essentially poison scam right like three |
| 3860s | Minions on the border Leroy and poisons |
| 3862s | and then you can call the hundred |
| 3863s | hundred a functional poison you can call |
| 3865s | the Fel bat a functional poison if you |
| 3867s | want to look at it that way it's very |
| 3868s | similar to the board that Kurt built |
| 3870s | right where he had the massive hogger |
| 3872s | the massive salty looter and then just |
| 3874s | made everything else in else poison to |
| 3876s | fill in the gaps it's a very common way |
| 3878s | of playing the end game where you're |
| 3880s | gonna scale throughout the mid game and |
| 3882s | then you abandon all but your biggest |
| 3884s | two or three scaled minions to replace |
| 3886s | them very quickly with poisonous yeah |
| 3894s | decent Shields it means the baron has no |
| 3896s | chance of being able to Prock it there |
| 3899s | but I believe one of these tokens is |
| 3901s | gonna have to take that Divine Shield |
| 3903s | exactly okay that is a big deal |
| 3905s | the one of the poison goes down which |
| 3907s | means this is now going to be a dub if |
| 3910s | this goes right and it does as a win for |
| 3913s | kunking dealing 12 damage here to Janu |
| 3917s | but no deaths in this instance unless |
| 3919s | matu is going to shamefully die to |
| 3923s | Kurt's ghost which I don't think is |
| 3924s | going to happen no no chance |
| 3927s | zero chance oh my goodness |
| 3933s | I had you're just amassing tech cards |
| 3937s | here right there's not really too many |
| 3939s | ways to kind of improve this board |
| 3941s | considering you don't really want to |
| 3942s | sell off any of these minions |
| 3945s | yes you essentially you're pretty much |
| 3947s | done with your com if you roll another |
| 3951s | Divine Shield board from wisdom bull |
| 3953s | when you hit a murloc then you might |
| 3955s | pick up another Divine Shield pick up |
| 3956s | another toxfin replace one of these |
| 3958s | minions with existing Divine Shield but |
| 3960s | at that point you've kind of already hit |
| 3962s | diminishing returns on Divine Shields |
| 3964s | right too naturally on the board and |
| 3965s | then you're you have golden Baron golden |
| 3967s | selfless like that's already more Divine |
| 3969s | Shields than you possibly need so I do |
| 3972s | think tech cards are more the order of |
| 3975s | the day reacting to what your opponents |
| 3977s | are doing maybe looking for tunnel |
| 3979s | blasters in certain instances but |
| 3981s | because what we have is a full Divine |
| 3984s | Shield poison battle down at the end if |
| 3986s | you want to include kunking in that |
| 3988s | which I would uh I think tattoo is just |
| 3991s | in the best position I think tutu is the |
| 3994s | player everyone else has to Tech card |
| 3996s | around in this situation right because |
| 3998s | today is just done this is the board |
| 4000s | this is what you want |
| 4004s | tattoo is just has just one Hearthstone |
| 4007s | Battlegrounds |
| 4008s | play it at me |
| 4015s | oh these attacks are so good as well oh |
| 4018s | whenever you're selfless hero |
| 4020s | clears a Divine shield in a late game |
| 4022s | Divine Shield poison battle best feeling |
| 4025s | in the world |
| 4026s | oh yeah look at that |
| 4034s | lives lives okay everyone hanging on in |
| 4038s | there |
| 4040s | at last Church goes hello come on Cut We |
| 4045s | Believe |
| 4046s | oh |
| 4054s | okay |
| 4058s | we're like you to find the difference |
| 4060s | between these two pictures |
| 4065s | they are the same picture |
| 4068s | Golden Bear versus non-golden Baron |
| 4071s | which is the only difference and the |
| 4073s | natural Divine Shields as well from the |
| 4075s | wisdom ball rolls so |
| 4078s | um |
| 4079s | doesn't matter how many stats you have |
| 4081s | look at the day so sorry can we can we |
| 4085s | go back to genuine again please |
| 4089s | because that yeah okay that tunnel |
| 4091s | Blaster that John used roll past I think |
| 4092s | is a lot more interesting than the |
| 4094s | tunnel blaster on the other side for |
| 4095s | tattoo |
| 4096s | um because his tunnel Blaster could |
| 4098s | theoretically remove some of those |
| 4099s | Divine Shields I don't know how much of |
| 4101s | tattoos board Janu has seen because |
| 4103s | obviously those natural Divine Shield |
| 4105s | poison murlocs can take you by surprise |
| 4108s | if you don't know they're there |
| 4110s | um but Junior has to find a plan here |
| 4112s | because he's losing the Divine Shield |
| 4113s | battle so he has lots of options in his |
| 4115s | hand of Leroy even the gas coilers right |
| 4119s | can be useful in terms of being Divine |
| 4121s | chill poppers in certain situations can |
| 4122s | also drop additional leroys but he is |
| 4125s | certainly the one who has to play from |
| 4126s | behind here and Tech a little bit he's |
| 4129s | gonna go with the void Lord as his |
| 4130s | weapon of choice just for trying to bust |
| 4132s | some Divine Shields actually replaces |
| 4134s | the baron with it overall deciding that |
| 4137s | this void Lord is more valuable for |
| 4139s | divine Shield busting uh |
| 4142s | you're sacrificing two additional Divine |
| 4146s | shields in order to have at maximum the |
| 4148s | chance to get rid of or Divine Shields |
| 4152s | which never happens right usually it's |
| 4154s | like how many boardwalkers you're gonna |
| 4156s | get is if you get one Divine shield with |
| 4158s | the initial hit and then I I guess three |
| 4161s | but |
| 4162s | but I think what this was about right I |
| 4164s | think he had seen the board State |
| 4165s | significantly and he knew the size of |
| 4167s | the selfless so by putting the void Lord |
| 4170s | in the selfless actually hasn't propped |
| 4172s | yet but unfortunately the baron value |
| 4175s | traded |
| 4177s | he's actually got there that is such a |
| 4180s | sick play from John Yu with the the void |
| 4183s | Lord in the end just delaying the Divine |
| 4185s | Shield value to the point where he |
| 4187s | actually picks up a victory but guess |
| 4188s | what TJ it's only eight damage |
| 4192s | Kurt's ghost no |
| 4198s | laughs |
| 4202s | if only the uh the the like the AI I |
| 4207s | guess the ghost |
| 4208s | just at least press the hero power each |
| 4211s | turn you know |
| 4213s | yeah |
| 4214s | probably pretty big probably wouldn't |
| 4217s | make a difference though because at this |
| 4218s | point in the game stats don't really |
| 4220s | matter but |
| 4221s | just uh riding down Junior game one void |
| 4225s | Lord in my notes Lobby Legends graded |
| 4227s | coming to you very shortly |
| 4229s | yeah it's almost gonna do it in the |
| 4232s | break yep |
| 4242s | so we added another poison and we took |
| 4245s | away the selfless |
| 4248s | that was in but has another selfless I |
| 4251s | like this oh yeah talk about Divine |
| 4255s | Shield poppers |
| 4257s | Divine shield on the bowl of minions as |
| 4260s | well throw this away and got another |
| 4262s | Leroy the selfless hero I think is |
| 4264s | fairly irrelevant unless you get golden |
| 4265s | selfless I don't think it's worth a |
| 4267s | space on your board I think this is |
| 4269s | correctly played here from kunking just |
| 4272s | evaluating trying to get one big trade |
| 4274s | with the giant minion up first and then |
| 4277s | use the tokens that drop to pop some |
| 4279s | Divine Shields I think this is good |
| 4280s | ordering overall |
| 4283s | Yep this is the good order for him as |
| 4286s | well now the shields will go off the |
| 4288s | Leroy will kill the giant minion and now |
| 4290s | he gets some tokens to try and attack |
| 4291s | into Divine Shields |
| 4293s | Leroy's attacking into Divine Shields |
| 4295s | are also absolutely fine there you go |
| 4300s | and that's a DOT yeah easy win a lot of |
| 4305s | drama in the last one but this one |
| 4308s | didn't even need the reborn gas boiler |
| 4310s | which is uh interesting that was just a |
| 4313s | very solid uh Victory and now it's down |
| 4316s | oh how do you and Kun King |
| 4319s | tattoo has gone to six though which is |
| 4321s | important because that is another of the |
| 4323s | puzzle box questions tattoo was low |
| 4324s | level for most of this game which kind |
| 4326s | of goes hand in hand with the wisdom |
| 4327s | ball strategy uh but has gone to six now |
| 4330s | at this point which means both of our |
| 4331s | players left surviving are on Tavern six |
| 4333s | so can still get a yes on the puzzle box |
| 4336s | for winning with wisdom Ball but there |
| 4338s | will not be a yes in game one for |
| 4340s | winning without going to tan six |
| 4348s | literally the board has oh |
| 4352s | remember before when I said you'd hit |
| 4355s | diminishing returns on Divine Shields |
| 4362s | you have the burger here anyway so I |
| 4364s | don't think it's ever parrot right I |
| 4366s | don't think it's ever a power angle no I |
| 4368s | told his board literally hasn't changed |
| 4370s | no it's turned 16. yep these tech cards |
| 4375s | in hand have they've just been steadily |
| 4377s | growing none of them have been used it's |
| 4379s | just that situation like yeah maybe I'll |
| 4381s | need that I guess and yeah deciding that |
| 4383s | this is now the moment |
| 4384s | you're going to try and manipulate some |
| 4386s | of the combat RNG with a few taunts |
| 4394s | taunted Leroy I think always a nice |
| 4396s | Gambit to go for |
| 4398s | in top two catch your opponent by |
| 4400s | surprise with that taunted Leroy I think |
| 4402s | in this instance if your opponent's |
| 4405s | paying attention he knows you have |
| 4406s | taunted Divine Shield poison anyway |
| 4408s | which means they're unlikely to put a |
| 4410s | massive minion up front yeah it's gone |
| 4411s | for divine Shield theoretically up front |
| 4414s | I say theoretically that has not worked |
| 4416s | out at all |
| 4420s | like this the golden the or Not Gold the |
| 4424s | Green Point Gas Square could be easier |
| 4425s | because todo's stats aren't that high |
| 4428s | that's a really bad Leroy attack though |
| 4432s | Leroy taking out the minion that had no |
| 4435s | Health essentially if the Leroy had hit |
| 4437s | one of the 40 Health minions may have |
| 4439s | been okay selfless hero okay who takes |
| 4443s | out the big poison |
| 4446s | The Crawling juice |
| 4459s | out of nowhere we talked about gas |
| 4462s | coiler scams and we're normally thinking |
| 4464s | in terms of Leroy Jenkins specifically |
| 4466s | but it turned out with the Croc Rat Pack |
| 4469s | drop coming off the gas coiler actually |
| 4472s | just enough recurring stats to get there |
| 4476s | in the end and kunking shattering the |
| 4479s | dreams of not only tattoo but of all the |
| 4483s | wisdom ball Believers in game one |
| 4485s | because that was a devastating last |
| 4489s | minute reversal what an ending DJ |
| 4493s | foreign |
| 4494s | I mean how unlikely would it be for us |
| 4497s | to in for the second Lobby Legends in a |
| 4500s | row have will a player win with wisdom |
| 4502s | ball |
| 4504s | and then have it happen in the very |
| 4507s | first game both times with me picking |
| 4511s | yes both times |
| 4513s | so I'll take it I still have faith it's |
| 4515s | gonna happen |
| 4516s | uh just that house that the best chance |
| 4520s | we're ever gonna get it was the ball |
| 4523s | Believers it was so close but I mean |
| 4525s | shafts to cooking overall who uh by the |
| 4529s | way is in my fantasy team for group ah |
| 4532s | this board did not look like the winning |
| 4534s | board right when you looked at perfect |
| 4536s | golden selfless golden Baron full Divine |
| 4538s | Shield murlocs sorry full poison murlocs |
| 4541s | two of which having Divine Shield |
| 4542s | already then you look at cooking's board |
| 4544s | which has like a Nightshade matron on it |
| 4546s | you know right it didn't feel like it |
| 4548s | was the board that was going to get |
| 4549s | there but specifically picking the right |
| 4552s | options for the right fight uh in |
| 4554s | particular that void Lord pick up oh no |
| 4557s | that was your new sorry but the the |
| 4559s | reborn gas coiler picking up those extra |
| 4561s | that little bit of extra juice for |
| 4563s | dealing with Divine Shields I think |
| 4565s | that's something that good players |
| 4566s | demonstrate quite well in these late |
| 4568s | game poison battles yes poison battles |
| 4571s | can seem a little bit futile at times |
| 4573s | but the really good players |
| 4575s | can understand when a card like gas |
| 4577s | coiler void Lord all of these things are |
| 4580s | useful not only when to buy them but |
| 4582s | where to position them in your lineup as |
| 4585s | well to make sure that your small |
| 4586s | minions have the maximum chance of |
| 4588s | hitting Divine shields on the other side |
| 4589s | which is something that I think that |
| 4591s | cooking and genu did incredibly well uh |
| 4594s | in that late game battle which did go on |
| 4596s | for an extremely long time by the way |
| 4598s | yeah was that was that turn 20 or 219 |
| 4600s | something like that you know yeah very |
| 4603s | long uh first game whatever it was |
| 4607s | um but that you know that's the nature |
| 4608s | of this those uh uh murloc top fours |
| 4611s | because you're dealing such little |
| 4613s | damage uh even when you do win because |
| 4615s | it's usually only one or two minions and |
| 4617s | they're usually low Tavern tier still |
| 4619s | but uh very exciting uh first game for |
| 4623s | for this uh this Lobby a Lobby one uh |
| 4626s | Lobby one a |
| 4629s | um but we still have a lot more action |
| 4630s | to come we have two more games for this |
| 4632s | Lobby plus the entire uh second Lobby so |
| 4635s | five more left on the day plenty more |
| 4637s | chances for a player to pick wisdom ball |
| 4639s | and win and plenty more Champion or |
| 4642s | plenty more games |
| 4644s | uh for uh saddle to forget to put in his |
| 4647s | bandwagon on turn one so it's gonna |
| 4650s | happen at least one more time you're |
| 4651s | gonna do the subtle thing where you're |
| 4652s | like I'm so smug I'm gonna I have this |
| 4655s | really good point I need to say and |
| 4656s | they're gonna completely skip turn one I |
| 4658s | I wish I could argue with that but that |
| 4660s | is exactly what happened in game one yes |
| 4662s | yeah I know I've absolutely nailed me |
| 4664s | indeed I know I know but uh before we |
| 4667s | jump into that second game we are gonna |
| 4668s | have to go to a quick break but don't go |
| 4670s | anywhere more Lobby Legends action right |
| 4672s | after this |

| 4873s | welcome back to Hearthstone |
| 4874s | Battlegrounds Lobby Legends Hallows end |
| 4878s | we call it hollow's end because uh |
| 4880s | Halloween ended two weeks ago |
| 4882s | uh that's why it's called that I'm TJ |
| 4885s | joined by saddle once again and we're |
| 4887s | about to jump into game number two of |
| 4889s | floppy is it Lobby a is it a or is it |
| 4892s | one a it's a okay game two of Lobby a |
| 4896s | thank you very much soddle and uh |
| 4899s | fantasy team picks uh yeah no surprise |
| 4901s | that say say is up at the top given uh |
| 4905s | Stacy Says recent performances not even |
| 4907s | just recent performances but |
| 4908s | performances throughout uh the entire uh |
| 4912s | you're winning in lobby Legend six and |
| 4915s | um two other appearances on broadcast |
| 4916s | besides this uh honestly like you can |
| 4919s | tell the Battlegrounds audience is very |
| 4921s | different from the constructed audience |
| 4923s | right because the constructed audience |
| 4925s | would know that I am a prediction God so |
| 4928s | as soon as they saw Kung king's name on |
| 4930s | the screen under my picks they would |
| 4932s | have flocked the bandwagon on my choice |
| 4935s | overall uh but not good enough in that |
| 4939s | instance he was the lowest picked player |
| 4941s | so unfortunately 4chan |
| 4943s | picked up the victory in game number one |
| 4949s | well subtle you do not have |
| 4952s | two prediction trophies |
| 4955s | yes I do in your view of sight do you |
| 4957s | yes I do |
| 4959s | I have three in fact you got trophies |
| 4962s | too I thought I stole all of them no you |
| 4964s | big if you remember you only have them |
| 4966s | because they there was like a |
| 4968s | two-for-one deal on everything oh yeah |
| 4970s | no no it wasn't it wasn't the extra one |
| 4972s | you've never won any I've won the |
| 4974s | legitimate ones you've kept the copy of |
| 4976s | them all I remember actually one yes my |
| 4979s | memory said that I just stole all of |
| 4981s | them yes uh and kept them uh because I |
| 4985s | won once and we didn't have a trophy the |
| 4986s | time that I won |
| 4989s | um so that was unfortunate so to to |
| 4992s | avenge the fact that I did not have a |
| 4995s | trophy the time that I won I stole all |
| 4997s | of the trophies but yes you're right |
| 5000s | um when you buy trophies it's the same |
| 5001s | price to buy two |
| 5004s | and we figured that we might as well |
| 5006s | have a backup in case the first one gets |
| 5008s | lost broken stolen |
| 5012s | um |
| 5013s | and so I just took them so now I have |
| 5015s | two and I think I have a half prediction |
| 5018s | trophy as well somewhere |
| 5020s | broke on |
| 5023s | on something all right here we go get |
| 5025s | into the game |
| 5031s | uh this is a very |
| 5036s | I would say unique game in terms of hero |
| 5040s | choices |
| 5041s | a lot of mid-tier are mid to high tier |
| 5044s | armor Heroes yeah we also have a cookie |
| 5047s | and a garden at the bottom so |
| 5053s | yeah zairella a hero I kind of threw |
| 5056s | some Shader in the first game of this |
| 5059s | Lobby uh just something that my results |
| 5061s | have kind of gone fallen off a cliff |
| 5063s | with zirella was one of my best |
| 5065s | performing Heroes probably top 10 |
| 5067s | performing Heroes previously |
| 5070s | um and then in this meta game has just |
| 5071s | kind of fallen off a cliff again I feel |
| 5073s | like the ability to leverage gold and |
| 5076s | find weird curves because once I really |
| 5078s | did really well was level sneak in |
| 5080s | buying a minion while you're leveling |
| 5082s | for a little bit of extra value and then |
| 5084s | greed a triple into a five or a six very |
| 5086s | very quickly that kind of thing and it's |
| 5088s | the kind of gameplay that just doesn't |
| 5089s | really work super well at the moment you |
| 5092s | do tend to be more successful fighting |
| 5094s | for Tempo completing your quest staying |
| 5096s | down just a little bit just an extra |
| 5098s | turn on four or multiple turns on five |
| 5100s | that kind of thing |
| 5102s | um zarella for me just doesn't |
| 5103s | necessarily fit into that strategy so |
| 5105s | interested to see how senior health gets |
| 5107s | on with this one |
| 5109s | yeah |
| 5111s | I don't think we've seen too many like |
| 5114s | fantastic zarella performances in recent |
| 5116s | history of Battlegrounds Lobby Legends |
| 5117s | but |
| 5118s | uh definitely a hero that can get top |
| 5121s | four quite often |
| 5123s | we already had an interesting decision |
| 5124s | for cooking here uh taking the sunbaking |
| 5127s | relaxer that was buffed uh from the the |
| 5129s | Daryl buff instead of the picky eater |
| 5133s | um I mean sure it's sort of the same |
| 5135s | amount of tempo but some big and relaxer |
| 5137s | obviously uh has that incentive to be |
| 5140s | sold at some point |
| 5143s | um but I guess at the same time the |
| 5144s | picky eater is also going to get sold at |
| 5146s | some point uh so if you think of it that |
| 5148s | way you might as well think the two |
| 5149s | bullet jumps more stats over time |
| 5151s | precisely yeah it's a little bit weaker |
| 5153s | it's one one weaker in terms of tempo |
| 5155s | immediately but a full five or a five |
| 5157s | six neither of those cards is hanging |
| 5159s | around on your board long term so who |
| 5161s | cares right just take the one that gives |
| 5162s | you the extra bit of value in the long |
| 5164s | term |
| 5165s | oh |
| 5167s | murlocs are open and I see a Snicker |
| 5170s | snacks |
| 5173s | thicker snacks stickers snacks 14 cards |
| 5178s | to hand not that difficult especially |
| 5180s | when senior health has held on to a |
| 5183s | blood gem generator here firstly quills |
| 5184s | are in so that makes cards to hand a lot |
| 5188s | easier to begin with secondly does have |
| 5190s | the ability to add it straight away |
| 5193s | however knapsack four murlocs or beasts |
| 5196s | let's see one beast in the shop but uh |
| 5200s | none of the hand that were held on to |
| 5202s | I don't know I'm I in in a murloc Lobby |
| 5205s | I'm just kind of oh no next force gamer |
| 5208s | if there's murloc and like there was the |
| 5210s | hidden The Crafty hidden murloc there |
| 5212s | behind that if there's a Merlot kind of |
| 5213s | beast in that show up yeah you take you |
| 5215s | take kidnap it's like kidnap sack next |
| 5217s | turn a lot of the time right like this |
| 5219s | is it has to be the choice I fully agree |
| 5221s | with this |
| 5222s | yeah yeah well |
| 5224s | I disagree that's fine |
| 5228s | you're entitled to your incorrect |
| 5229s | opinions TJ that's fine uh they're not |
| 5232s | incorrect it's subjective it's fun |
| 5234s | it's fun your objective is winning my |
| 5238s | objective is |
| 5242s | winning the fun battle |
| 5245s | how's that going for you |
| 5248s | going great okay |
| 5251s | and speaking of going great genu has |
| 5253s | found the overseer on the three on three |
| 5256s | curve which is the absolute dream uh |
| 5260s | which way around exactly this happened |
| 5262s | which came from the cookie hero Pearl |
| 5263s | which came from the shop we'll never |
| 5265s | know unless Lorinda tells us uh but |
| 5267s | either way it's a they're married and |
| 5270s | then we'll never know because who trusts |
| 5273s | Lorinda Lorinda has confirmed we'll |
| 5276s | never know okay |
| 5279s | um |
| 5280s | but either way this is an incredibly |
| 5282s | High Tempo star a little unfortunate I |
| 5284s | would say to be fighting a Sneed at that |
| 5286s | point in time because one of the few |
| 5289s | s that would be able to combat with that |
| 5292s | and that is an insane pickup now |
| 5294s | Virginia as well munching on quill balls |
| 5296s | what is Hello what is happening |
| 5302s | that's the juice right what are these |
| 5304s | shops that's what we call it in the biz |
| 5311s | it's beasts or demons for snicker snacks |
| 5314s | okay fine |
| 5316s | oh |
| 5319s | icker snacks Snicker snacks |
| 5324s | I don't think we have a wizard ball in |
| 5326s | this game what is that teacher why do |
| 5327s | you keep doing is that some sort of |
| 5329s | advertising jingle what's happening |
| 5332s | um and advertising jingle for snicker |
| 5335s | snacks maybe wait a Snicker snacks a |
| 5338s | thing |
| 5339s | yeah it's a |
| 5341s | Quest reward in Hearthstone oh okay no I |
| 5346s | thought I thought when you answered that |
| 5347s | you were like yes it's from the |
| 5349s | television advert for snicker snacks |
| 5352s | I I mean |
| 5354s | it sounds like a thing America would do |
| 5357s | right is take Snickers and then find |
| 5358s | some way to like add 99 more processed |
| 5362s | sugar into it and then call them Snicker |
| 5363s | snacks and then sell them to children |
| 5365s | that I mean that sounds like a real |
| 5366s | thing that America would do I don't know |
| 5371s | speaking of America |
| 5377s | you're not saying it right |
| 5380s | I can't sorry I have to pronounce vowels |
| 5383s | I've apologize |
| 5391s | you really Gotta Get Down Low with the |
| 5393s | the r right like Kurt |
| 5400s | can you say the sentence Kurt sees an |
| 5403s | orange squirrel please |
| 5405s | Kurt she's an orange girl |
| 5409s | down deep with the RS thank you |
| 5413s | appreciate it |
| 5414s | yeah no problem |
| 5418s | all right look at that I hate sleep |
| 5422s | wow tell us how you really feel |
| 5426s | uh it just never ends |
| 5429s | it's true yeah |
| 5431s | I don't know how but it just never does |
| 5437s | like I get to a late game before against |
| 5439s | this need and I'm like all right I got |
| 5441s | him and then something pops out and then |
| 5444s | another thing pops out yeah big drops |
| 5447s | just dropping Leroy's all of a sudden |
| 5449s | yeah I was just about to point this out |
| 5451s | has a pretty dreamy quest for Snead as |
| 5453s | well 25 friendly minions die uh for |
| 5456s | start turn two round of murlocs is |
| 5458s | pretty huge for Snead that's very very |
| 5460s | quickly going to be completed likely |
| 5462s | we'll be getting two random murlocs at |
| 5464s | the start of turn next turn I believe |
| 5466s | was that 17 out of 25 we were looking oh |
| 5468s | yeah unless uh uh cooking is like really |
| 5472s | weak but this board actually isn't |
| 5474s | particularly strong surprise really |
| 5476s | hasn't taken any damage uh so far this |
| 5478s | game but I guess did have a good Temple |
| 5480s | start and then from there has been like |
| 5482s | taverning up |
| 5484s | um using a lot of the hero Powers here |
| 5487s | so thank you Lorinda who is letting us |
| 5489s | know that the cookie is holding on to |
| 5492s | that uh triple that we saw in shop a |
| 5495s | couple of turns ago so it looks like as |
| 5497s | I was saying not the most common thing |
| 5499s | in the world players to freeze triples |
| 5501s | and greet them for multiple turns in |
| 5502s | this meta game in my experience |
| 5504s | absolutely zero Armor Hero yeah but it |
| 5508s | looks like that is going to be the case |
| 5509s | with John you but it does kind of make |
| 5511s | sense because as we said the position |
| 5512s | that he is in he's monstrously strong |
| 5515s | with that double overseer and the blood |
| 5516s | gems that he's been getting every single |
| 5518s | turn as well so if anyone is in a |
| 5520s | position to be able to do that John you |
| 5522s | might be it |
| 5523s | yeah well |
| 5527s | uh continuing is Daryl with tiny |
| 5530s | henchmen so |
| 5534s | that could be a very interesting board |
| 5536s | in the in the next coming turns oh |
| 5540s | none of those are named Feldman |
| 5545s | oh there is |
| 5546s | pretty good |
| 5548s | out is good yeah but I not necessarily |
| 5550s | sure that quilboar is ever really a |
| 5553s | world that you want to be in but fight |
| 5555s | he does have the the duo already which I |
| 5558s | think is |
| 5559s | the highest Tempo option when you get |
| 5562s | dark days right Geo is the one that just |
| 5563s | grows ridiculously quickly |
| 5568s | really want a giant self of zero yes |
| 5571s | absolutely |
| 5576s | I don't wanna actually change my mind |
| 5582s | you sell one more right I think I think |
| 5584s | he's so won by the selfless roll one by |
| 5586s | one yeah looks good to me |
| 5589s | I liked uh nothing scares me uh cell two |
| 5593s | no cell three by the selfless and Tavern |
| 5596s | up |
| 5599s | I don't |
| 5603s | just start selling yourself you just |
| 5605s | have a giant selfless hero and then a |
| 5608s | minion that already has Divine Shield |
| 5609s | yep sounds good |
| 5612s | that's it that's the board and you're at |
| 5615s | Tavern tier three cool |
| 5618s | I like this Choice by the way small |
| 5620s | details but kunking deciding he well |
| 5622s | essentially not deciding what he wants |
| 5625s | to taunt right now you can taunt your |
| 5627s | selfless you can taunt a Divine Shield |
| 5628s | you can taunt something else these all |
| 5630s | have their relative merits based on late |
| 5632s | game decisions like everywhere |
| 5634s | everything else wants to go furthermore |
| 5636s | he guarantees the uh tiny henchman Quest |
| 5639s | on the Minions that are actually going |
| 5640s | to be super relevant so just all the |
| 5642s | small things being done right here from |
| 5644s | cook king so far and certainly does not |
| 5646s | need that extra minion on board because |
| 5648s | we are at the stage in the game where |
| 5650s | Daryl is just monstrously powerful just |
| 5653s | an order of magnitude stronger than |
| 5655s | everyone else in the game right now yeah |
| 5657s | especially with Daddy actually I could |
| 5660s | just |
| 5663s | um just stats stats on stats just |
| 5665s | pumping |
| 5666s | yep oh say say turns seven cookbook |
| 5670s | online |
| 5671s | okay |
| 5673s | do we have any Buffs yet |
| 5677s | we will find out very soon uh I mean I'd |
| 5681s | imagine there's one on the pup bot |
| 5685s | a bot is a 3-2 |
| 5688s | I don't know for sure I'm just what was |
| 5690s | the quiet the quest was friendly minions |
| 5692s | attack 16 times yeah so it would seem |
| 5695s | that any minion in his hand oh okay |
| 5697s | we're three plus yeah okay fine |
| 5700s | what plus five plus five already nice |
| 5702s | and plus five plus five on The Menagerie |
| 5704s | Mark sure |
| 5708s | pretty good going how's the brand as |
| 5710s | well which is massive right in terms of |
| 5711s | being able to generate some potential |
| 5713s | economy down the line |
| 5718s | although looking uh dragons are out so |
| 5722s | no murazoned potential |
| 5729s | and still find murlocs for economy |
| 5732s | though |
| 5736s | there you go |
| 5738s | I would like that exact shop please down |
| 5742s | a million and up a goal |
| 5747s | I'm just gonna freeze and just buy one |
| 5749s | and then |
| 5750s | Bell three by tads L3 okay no it gives a |
| 5756s | freeze okay |
| 5757s | could argue double cell Tad sell |
| 5760s | something else buy the deflecto |
| 5762s | especially since you have the rendel on |
| 5764s | board right now which yeah might do that |
| 5766s | which is not ideal because that doesn't |
| 5768s | get the cookbook buff and I think yeah I |
| 5770s | think States they say kind of wrinkling |
| 5771s | his brow there did not necessarily |
| 5773s | consider this eventuality uh the Rendell |
| 5777s | here kind of being as much of a |
| 5778s | detriment as it is a help at this point |
| 5780s | I kind of want to argue for the cell |
| 5783s | three by deflecto plan honestly |
| 5788s | still in a very strong position with the |
| 5792s | early cookbook already a lot of Buffs |
| 5794s | and what okay tattoos dead I don't even |
| 5797s | look at the health total |
| 5804s | Barden crashing and burning I think |
| 5807s | Varden one of the biggest feast or |
| 5810s | famine heroes in the game they can |
| 5813s | absolutely pop off if you are able to |
| 5815s | get some strong pairs or triples early |
| 5817s | and then do just gets stuck getting some |
| 5821s | fairly kind roles in the late game but |
| 5822s | when you miss as Varden you miss so |
| 5825s | incredibly hard like you have very high |
| 5827s | potential for your hero power to just do |
| 5829s | absolutely nothing over the course of |
| 5831s | the game and then you die which having |
| 5833s | not seen tattoo up until this point I |
| 5835s | would imagine is what's happened |
| 5839s | oh yeah |
| 5841s | Trickster |
| 5843s | on my fantasy team |
| 5845s | the red hand plus rag |
| 5850s | you know how much I love stats saddle |
| 5855s | it had a mackerel too yeah |
| 5859s | both of those things so |
| 5862s | I'm sure it'll be good to keep an eye on |
| 5863s | as this game goes on but it's also |
| 5866s | murloc lobby but macros are can be |
| 5868s | pretty good especially if you can get |
| 5869s | the macros to a pretty decent size |
| 5870s | whether it be |
| 5872s | rag or Greek spot later on |
| 5880s | yeah even ball of minions these days |
| 5882s | right as well is a massively impactful |
| 5884s | change that's hit the game recently |
| 5886s | essentially replacing amalcum with ball |
| 5888s | of minions which has become yes it's |
| 5890s | Tavern four so it's rarer it comes later |
| 5893s | in the game there's less of them that |
| 5894s | you find I think when you find ball of |
| 5897s | minions though in a shop it's good so |
| 5900s | much more often than a late game amalgam |
| 5902s | was in a lot of positions like amalgam |
| 5904s | was only ever really bought in the late |
| 5905s | game to put Divine shield and poison on |
| 5907s | a bowl of minions like if it's a pirate |
| 5910s | sick you buy it you know if you're |
| 5911s | playing infinite hogger it's insane if |
| 5913s | you're playing no me and you roll into |
| 5914s | it sick it's insane if you're playing a |
| 5916s | little Rag and you roll into it and say |
| 5917s | it's just a it's just a good card yeah |
| 5927s | again Sneed fights an absolute nightmare |
| 5931s | to predict I'm realizing now I should |
| 5933s | not have said that out loud because I'll |
| 5935s | give Lorinda uh ideas any any moment now |
| 5939s | uh we've got to see how many layers of |
| 5941s | death rattle that we do have in here |
| 5943s | there's none not enough yeah they went |
| 5946s | down early as I was beginning that |
| 5948s | sentence yeah then oh yeah needs to |
| 5951s | start finding some big stuff uh it does |
| 5955s | have the two random murlocs at the |
| 5956s | beginning of the turn so it can uh kind |
| 5958s | of beat these stats a little bit if you |
| 5959s | start getting that poisonous |
| 5962s | and so senior held on the on the zirella |
| 5967s | has actually uh started rolling with the |
| 5969s | leapfroggers okay |
| 5972s | and that is going to be a Barren |
| 5974s | surviving win as well so big damage |
| 5977s | coming through to genuine |
| 5983s | I'm actually really curious to see what |
| 5984s | uh |
| 5985s | um King's been up to uh because we |
| 5988s | haven't seen kunking since |
| 5990s | like turn five or turn six oh yeah okay |
| 5995s | that's the stuff |
| 5997s | pretty good |
| 6000s | all right you can leave now |
| 6002s | yeah floating the one there's nothing |
| 6005s | that you can do in that situation I |
| 6006s | don't think to spend that one gold |
| 6008s | efficiently obviously didn't see what |
| 6009s | got him into that position but no way to |
| 6012s | sell enough stuff you want to sell way |
| 6014s | more stuff than just two minions before |
| 6015s | buying that deflector so you're just |
| 6017s | gonna have to sit there and hold the one |
| 6019s | burned gold |
| 6021s | okay |
| 6025s | children the only thing that really |
| 6027s | factors yeah necrolyte just buffing |
| 6030s | minions along the way this is important |
| 6032s | this is good play from senior Hill just |
| 6034s | adding stats where possible to his |
| 6036s | minions uh reason being he if opponent |
| 6039s | plays tunnel Blaster against you uh you |
| 6042s | lose a massive amount of your board if |
| 6044s | you don't buff the minions you can lose |
| 6045s | all of your rats so rat packs and sewer |
| 6047s | rats and then if you don't have any |
| 6049s | death rattles left on your board the |
| 6051s | frogs don't have enough time to |
| 6053s | duplicate even if you have golden Baron |
| 6055s | and whatever else a lot of people still |
| 6057s | think that zap is the best counter to |
| 6058s | LeapFrogs it's not it is tunnel blaster |
| 6060s | in most scenarios and that's what senior |
| 6062s | held is currently in the process of |
| 6064s | playing around by just adding that |
| 6065s | little bit of stats here and there to |
| 6067s | his board yeah and to be honest there's |
| 6069s | not like that much to spend your gold on |
| 6072s | let's leap rockers anyway so you might |
| 6076s | as well be looking for those things |
| 6077s | early on in the game because you often |
| 6079s | find these times where you're literally |
| 6081s | just rolling for like one or two |
| 6083s | specific things |
| 6085s | uh in the later stages because once you |
| 6087s | reach a certain point it just gets |
| 6089s | difficult to improve your board you're |
| 6090s | just looking to hold on to text and |
| 6092s | increase your stats where you can |
| 6094s | now where these initial frogs land is |
| 6097s | going to be important so far so good |
| 6101s | yeah I mean decent outcomes so far |
| 6104s | four Curts basically you want as many of |
| 6106s | the frogs to go right as possible |
| 6108s | because it means that less duplicate |
| 6109s | over the course of the fight |
| 6112s | but I still think unless this Baron |
| 6115s | attack goes through immediately which is |
| 6117s | not going to because the sewer rap now |
| 6120s | gets to attack into the Divine Shield |
| 6121s | poison and summon the taunts |
| 6123s | it looks to me like the xirella is okay |
| 6126s | from here yep |
| 6128s | oh actually actually there's a void Lord |
| 6133s | 's a big deal because that means the rat |
| 6135s | does not now duplicate but it also means |
| 6137s | this Baron doesn't duplicate |
| 6140s | where does this attack go yeah it's not |
| 6141s | gonna be good enough |
| 6143s | a lot of damage though I think in the |
| 6144s | end with the not rat not splitting I |
| 6147s | think that rap would have split open if |
| 6148s | it wasn't for the void Lord in the end |
| 6150s | so just taking the three damage from the |
| 6151s | rat as opposed to the full board |
| 6155s | oh okay |
| 6157s | and you went in on the quote Wars |
| 6161s | uh held on to the darkley's Elder that |
| 6163s | he hit very early on |
| 6165s | uh with the uh the held triple dark |
| 6168s | glaze Elder |
| 6170s | duck got sticker snacks on the brain I |
| 6172s | know you taking the donuts now and like |
| 6175s | oh I could use a little bit of a sticker |
| 6178s | snack donut right now a little bit a |
| 6180s | little bit dark glaze on the top |
| 6189s | does have the luxury of fighting the |
| 6191s | ghost here as well so it can pretty much |
| 6193s | just set this up for the following turns |
| 6196s | all right |
| 6198s | is your red hand rag you were so excited |
| 6200s | about a couple of turns ago how are you |
| 6202s | feeling |
| 6202s | I'm feeling good got a ball of minions |
| 6205s | in hand with red hand |
| 6210s | that's the stuff right there |
| 6213s | also the stuff what I mean this board |
| 6216s | state is quite impressive what's more |
| 6217s | impressive is that trickster has a |
| 6219s | stable internet connection from the |
| 6221s | desert temple that he's currently |
| 6222s | streaming from which |
| 6230s | looks pretty cool it does |
| 6238s | Earth mystery |
| 6240s | house don't dig too far down or you'll |
| 6242s | find the TNT and that won't end well for |
| 6244s | anyone |
| 6246s | I |
| 6248s | how long has this ball of minions been |
| 6249s | in hand |
| 6252s | great question that is a fantastic |
| 6254s | question Brenda |
| 6257s | subtle would know if he was spectating |
| 6261s | Lorinda said great question |
| 6264s | oh the Leroy up first that's that's the |
| 6268s | kind of situation where if that happens |
| 6270s | to you as a streamer you go on a 45 |
| 6273s | minute rant about how you're being |
| 6274s | stream sniped right when you have met |
| 6276s | you have Metro on the far right and your |
| 6279s | opponent just has any form of brain yeah |
| 6281s | can't can't accept that absolutely has |
| 6283s | to be being streamed |
| 6284s | [Applause] |
| 6288s | this is so much damage coming through |
| 6291s | that deflecto's gonna have to do so much |
| 6293s | work |
| 6295s | okay the one one didn't bump The Shield |
| 6296s | that means there's a good chance here |
| 6298s | for this to clean up some of the damage |
| 6299s | does take the sixth drop and the five |
| 6301s | drop down with it in the end big big |
| 6304s | deal for trickster in terms of reducing |
| 6306s | damage at the end though yeah that was |
| 6309s | uh fortunate to say the least given how |
| 6313s | that looked right at the beginning |
| 6315s | maybe we'll get a look at ball minions |
| 6317s | but |
| 6318s | 17-17 okay whatever that was first turn |
| 6321s | whatever uh but does get talk spin |
| 6326s | so setting that up |
| 6328s | um buff could go on the talkspin though |
| 6330s | which is a little bit awkward for the |
| 6332s | red hand if you want to keep with the |
| 6333s | ball of Maintenance going I guess you |
| 6335s | could just put it on the board now if |
| 6336s | you find like an oil module but yeah |
| 6338s | because this road board is not doing |
| 6340s | much more so you have two easy cells and |
| 6343s | this is one of my biggest problems with |
| 6345s | red hand as a quest reward is there's a |
| 6348s | lot of Lobby like this Lobby setup is |
| 6350s | one of the biggest ones for it because |
| 6351s | it's Max and murlocs in a Mech plus |
| 6354s | murloc Lobby you buy most toxins and |
| 6357s | annoya modules that you see at any point |
| 6359s | right and then you just hold you just |
| 6361s | hold on to them until you're able to get |
| 6363s | those Divine Shield poisons down later |
| 6364s | but you know yes the annoyer module sure |
| 6367s | you can argue holding that in hand for a |
| 6368s | few turns is fine but in spots like this |
| 6370s | it can be a little bit awkward overall |
| 6372s | force you to use cards immediately or |
| 6375s | get weird Buffs senior Herald now |
| 6377s | speaking of weird Buffs does have the |
| 6379s | golden Baron rolling with this |
| 6381s | leapfrogger comp so he is looking like |
| 6383s | the player to beat in this one |
| 6386s | um but I wouldn't mind doesn't have to |
| 6388s | be right now but taking a look at say |
| 6389s | say again in the near future because we |
| 6392s | probably missed four or five turns of |
| 6394s | cookbook scaling now at this point so |
| 6396s | interesting to see where say has got to |
| 6398s | that's pretty good |
| 6405s | I was expecting bigger okay that's on |
| 6409s | the right track there we go that's a |
| 6410s | little bigger |
| 6413s | yeah that's fine |
| 6417s | they're just a poison Tad okay fine sure |
| 6422s | 27 and 28. |
| 6427s | in this thing |
| 6430s | this is as I knew on the |
| 6434s | what was originally Quail ball scaling |
| 6436s | that is no longer coil ball scaling |
| 6444s | but these poisons have gone down too |
| 6447s | early and the Battle Master will be able |
| 6449s | to solo from here |
| 6450s | so big damage for say |
| 6454s | yeah |
| 6456s | three uh interesting point shouldn't you |
| 6459s | it's just roast out at least for the |
| 6461s | time being it won't hold up but it does |
| 6464s | have tunnel Blaster so I feel like he's |
| 6467s | fine against everything else but here we |
| 6469s | go the golden Baron |
| 6471s | and leap Frogger yeah that one's already |
| 6474s | over yeah |
| 6479s | polyak being taken down as well |
| 6486s | gosh yeah no way back from here there |
| 6489s | was already no way back before we cut |
| 6491s | away for the death |
| 6494s | big damage as well from a leapfrog |
| 6497s | aboard normally finally Froggers at this |
| 6499s | point in the game is fine you lose |
| 6502s | because you haven't had time to set up |
| 6503s | your your counter Tech but you tend not |
| 6505s | to lose by much that was a monstrous |
| 6508s | beating in terms of how much damage |
| 6510s | Elite Frogger board does to you |
| 6513s | I'll do what I can all right good old |
| 6516s | Kurt |
| 6518s | hey watch out |
| 6527s | they were in a white man in hand |
| 6534s | are we gonna transfer the stats over to |
| 6537s | the Hydra I'd imagine with the Necro |
| 6539s | Light yeah so I suspect that the Hydra |
| 6544s | white Mane is the uh the plan for |
| 6548s | dealing with the leapfroggers yeah |
| 6558s | in that case do you even need to |
| 6560s | transfer the stats yet I guess you still |
| 6563s | do because the baron is quite large |
| 6567s | I don't even think I think it's even got |
| 6570s | 20 Health at the moment |
| 6574s | and it's just better to have the stats |
| 6576s | since the bald minions already has |
| 6578s | Devonshire poses anyway so |
| 6581s | it's quite it's a useful phrase on the |
| 6584s | other side there as well because it |
| 6585s | allows him to get out of white Main and |
| 6588s | then pick up a spare white Mane again |
| 6590s | for the future if he needs it again for |
| 6591s | another leap progress fight yeah |
| 6594s | and could pick up Leroy as well |
| 6597s | just to have a second one in case you go |
| 6599s | up against like Devonshire murlocs all |
| 6601s | right here we go oh put the weight main |
| 6603s | second from the left wants to go the |
| 6606s | opportunity does go second okay big hit |
| 6610s | big big hit and that from here could be |
| 6615s | 24. like this could be dead from this |
| 6617s | position oh yeah |
| 6620s | especially uh another white man should |
| 6622s | die well |
| 6626s | well |
| 6628s | you say that oh |
| 6630s | okay nope |
| 6633s | three three okay oh okay how much damage |
| 6637s | is left now Kurt is on six that's six |
| 6641s | twelve Seventeen twenty one twenty three |
| 6642s | still lethal it's still lethal that's |
| 6644s | gonna be enough wow the white man |
| 6647s | attacking putting it second from the |
| 6648s | left do you know how to even move the |
| 6650s | baron over to try and give protection |
| 6652s | against it but a nice little spot by |
| 6655s | Kurt and I mean senior held was really |
| 6659s | strong like really strong uh oh |
| 6662s | oh oh 18. |
| 6666s | [Music] |
| 6668s | oh the gas coiler always a scary moment |
| 6672s | when it comes down to those situations |
| 6673s | that was a lot of damage from the gas |
| 6675s | coiler but not enough |
| 6678s | if you want a golden deflecto |
| 6684s | yeah I don't think so from that position |
| 6688s | oh okay we're into a barrel of his |
| 6690s | Blessing they love to see it |
| 6700s | very very close one tons of stats Divine |
| 6704s | shield and poison on both sides |
| 6706s | I do think that cleave taunted Leroy |
| 6709s | interaction is something that we might |
| 6711s | need to look out for though |
| 6725s | I'm waiting I'm waiting to the last |
| 6727s | second to see where Kurt ends up putting |
| 6729s | this Hydra if he keeps it first |
| 6735s | double Leroy in hand as well which could |
| 6738s | be committed here I think because Kurt |
| 6740s | is at 17. |
| 6742s | will probably feel like he doesn't |
| 6744s | necessarily have to go all in this turn |
| 6746s | might just be sitting here no okay it's |
| 6748s | gonna go a little bit further dropper |
| 6749s | Leroy that's a big deal |
| 6753s | you go taunted Leroy here as well which |
| 6755s | I think is a big deal for the way this |
| 6758s | fight could pan out on the other side |
| 6759s | now |
| 6764s | oh we went for a different bearov's |
| 6766s | blessing choices I I I had to say typed |
| 6769s | in and changed it to Kerr on the taunted |
| 6771s | Leroy |
| 6773s | foreign |
| 6779s | the taunted leroys did not work out and |
| 6783s | that means that say say is gonna take |
| 6785s | this one down from here good job TJ |
| 6788s | uh it's not gonna be a huge amount of |
| 6791s | damage though |
| 6793s | gonna be a w though that means they say |
| 6795s | keeps on marching every extra turn you |
| 6797s | live with cookbook feels like a new |
| 6799s | lease on life |
| 6802s | oh |
| 6804s | and kinking one for that uh had the big |
| 6808s | Tempo start uh with Daryl tiny henchman |
| 6811s | but uh the scaling just wasn't there uh |
| 6814s | so uh he's gonna fall and was that 39 |
| 6817s | Health what two three turns ago yeah |
| 6820s | welcome tomorrow at all |
| 6822s | yep straight to the bottom so |
| 6827s | um and interestingly enough we we do |
| 6829s | have a murloc lobby but there's not |
| 6833s | really many pure |
| 6835s | uh murloc players that are in the top |
| 6837s | and in fact there's not that many poison |
| 6840s | murlocs in general we may start moving |
| 6842s | in that direction but in terms of a top |
| 6845s | four with murlocs this is less than we |
| 6847s | normally see yes and if you turn back |
| 6850s | time TJ if he could find a way uh |
| 6854s | thank you thank you TJ uh Raven never |
| 6859s | gets my Boomer power ballad references |
| 6861s | um |
| 6862s | I mentioned this in game one right it's |
| 6864s | like what is a Divine what is a murloc |
| 6867s | Lobby about and I think in this instance |
| 6869s | this is the Max Plus beasts murloc Lobby |
| 6872s | which is about as weak as murlocs can be |
| 6875s | in a murloc Lobby because traditionally |
| 6877s | massive deflectos like cooked book |
| 6880s | deflectos that can beat murlocs |
| 6883s | um and leapfroggers with Baron tends to |
| 6885s | beat murlocs as well uh depending on the |
| 6888s | tech cards that are available on the |
| 6889s | other side so I think a lot of people |
| 6890s | are kind of on uh scissors here which is |
| 6893s | the things that beat murloc and very few |
| 6895s | people are on paper which is the murlocs |
| 6898s | themselves |
| 6900s | what's Rock |
| 6903s | yeah it's not really rock paper scissors |
| 6905s | yeah it's it's scissors paper but then |
| 6908s | scissors and paper both be everything |
| 6910s | else that's available in the lobby so |
| 6912s | I'm not quite sure what that analogy |
| 6914s | would end up being sore rock yeah |
| 6923s | so darok instead of a rock right just |
| 6927s | loses to everything yeah yeah |
| 6935s | oh okay actually sold off the minion to |
| 6939s | make sure or ended with six to make sure |
| 6943s | that they would attack first to get the |
| 6946s | tunnel Blaster off and then attack yeah |
| 6949s | it was really cool actually kills wood |
| 6950s | would reset yeah tunnel Blaster Tech to |
| 6954s | so he gets to DaVinci back on his macro |
| 6957s | because it's a macro and then he had the |
| 6959s | guaranteed minion to die as TJ was |
| 6960s | saying I think that's a very very nice |
| 6961s | setup indeed still is going to take a |
| 6964s | small loss here though I think depending |
| 6967s | on how these trades go well it's a loss |
| 6970s | amount of work because that has uh |
| 6972s | microbots yeah but there was a way no |
| 6975s | something had to hit the Divine Shield |
| 6976s | right yeah so it was always going to be |
| 6978s | a loss that's right |
| 6983s | okay ah Kurt fell |
| 6987s | Kurt's down no there goes my uh down we |
| 6992s | never leave a cart behind |
| 6995s | I'm gonna just go and uh occurred every |
| 6998s | time for |
| 6999s | in wagon |
| 7002s | I'm realizing that Lorinda actually has |
| 7004s | a massive degree of control over my |
| 7006s | bandwagon picks because I'm kind of |
| 7008s | mandated to bandwagon on turn one |
| 7010s | because of one of the the puzzle box |
| 7011s | questions so basically whoever Lorinda |
| 7013s | shows us first if they have a decent |
| 7015s | start I'm picking them right like that's |
| 7017s | basically how this is gonna work I mean |
| 7019s | you picked CC say both times and I |
| 7021s | picked Kurt both times yeah but safe to |
| 7023s | say was our first POV both times is the |
| 7025s | thing I'm not necessarily just picking |
| 7027s | so say because I like say say even |
| 7029s | though we're the same |
| 7032s | same |
| 7034s | guide me |
| 7037s | everyone just hanging around with a with |
| 7040s | a white Mane in hand here and there |
| 7042s | making sure even with the LeapFrog is |
| 7044s | dead with senior health just getting |
| 7045s | absolutely smacked by the white man |
| 7048s | cleave earlier in the game |
| 7054s | very very useful card of course for |
| 7056s | dealing with deflectos as well which is |
| 7059s | largely what this Lobby has devolved |
| 7060s | into uh White Mains going up first to be |
| 7063s | able to deal with that deflecto problem |
| 7066s | yep |
| 7073s | I believe this means that SSA is |
| 7077s | fighting the ghost this turn so decent |
| 7079s | chance that cssa ends up in our top two |
| 7082s | who again is my bandwagon pick for this |
| 7085s | game |
| 7091s | double time |
| 7102s | oh it's um |
| 7105s | uh maybe no actually yeah what if oh no |
| 7110s | oh well you know no |
| 7117s | the real question here is Live question |
| 7121s | mark |
| 7122s | yeah Battle Masters still has a lot of |
| 7125s | work to do trickster is only on five it |
| 7129s | would be Metro Plus something else that |
| 7131s | would have to survive |
| 7133s | depending on now how this poison attack |
| 7135s | goes okay could be a tie don't hit the |
| 7139s | boys |
| 7140s | still alive though still alive yeah |
| 7147s | is bad news for our hero since you say |
| 7150s | not advancing up the rankings based on |
| 7152s | this ghost fight and it will now be |
| 7154s | trickster who is rewarded |
| 7158s | ah yeah magnetic |
| 7163s | Ally is just |
| 7165s | transitioned like six times because of |
| 7167s | cooking books every time we look at CCC |
| 7170s | it's just |
| 7172s | a different board |
| 7174s | will uncover |
| 7176s | [Music] |
| 7179s | I mean these stats are just |
| 7183s | monsters |
| 7189s | just has a taunted 90 80 golden Leroy my |
| 7193s | favorite part of this comp |
| 7199s | debate on the end of this turn as to how |
| 7200s | to play it so you could just play your |
| 7203s | module on the macro and then double sell |
| 7206s | the minions you have to prop cookbook |
| 7208s | once more you could just taunt the macro |
| 7211s | so there's this play which is taunt the |
| 7212s | metro and dropped the additional reset |
| 7215s | on the board and then there was also |
| 7216s | this play without playing the module on |
| 7218s | the macro and just playing the |
| 7220s | additional reset on the board all of |
| 7222s | which had has Merit uh giving the |
| 7224s | mackerel taunt isn't necessarily an |
| 7228s | upside in high level games like the |
| 7231s | infinite Divine Shield train scams a lot |
| 7233s | of people in lower MMR lobbies but |
| 7236s | higher MMR lobbies are so Leroy |
| 7238s | dominated when we get to this point in |
| 7239s | the game that's sometimes taunting your |
| 7241s | macro just means you lose your mackerel |
| 7243s | to the Leroy that your opponent has at |
| 7244s | the start yeah |
| 7245s | that's what that's where the 9181 |
| 7248s | taunted Leroy comes in yes |
| 7254s | fixed minion white Mane yet again which |
| 7256s | means double taunts on the deflectos |
| 7261s | still gets very very good trades with |
| 7264s | the deflectos though even with the |
| 7265s | Divine Shields and that is going to be |
| 7267s | an absolute spanking on the other side |
| 7270s | well |
| 7273s | um no actually |
| 7276s | Leroy is still alive even if this hat |
| 7279s | even if this gas cooler had reborn and |
| 7282s | summoned four leroys would still be a |
| 7285s | loss |
| 7287s | can you just hit just hit the Leroy it |
| 7290s | just |
| 7291s | okay thank you no it's alive oh my God |
| 7297s | all right |
| 7299s | oh no oh no oh no no I mean yes yes no |
| 7305s | exactly like this oh say say bandwagon |
| 7309s | pick turn one Believers in chat you are |
| 7313s | welcome it took me exactly one attempt |
| 7317s | because I didn't even try first game I |
| 7321s | literally forgot to do it one attempt |
| 7323s | one TJ |
| 7327s | this analytical mind of the century |
| 7330s | right here look at me bask in my glory |
| 7334s | this severely hurts my chances of |
| 7336s | getting that puzzle box question right |
| 7343s | I need uh I need a wisdom ball game to |
| 7348s | uh bring me back in the points |
| 7352s | uh what a guy |
| 7355s | what a guy |
| 7359s | yep |
| 7361s | that makes me even more mad that taru |
| 7365s | didn't win the first Lobby because at |
| 7367s | least we would have been tied on puzzle |
| 7370s | box points I'm getting crushed you are |
| 7373s | yeah |
| 7374s | um |
| 7375s | well my fantasy team did okay because I |
| 7377s | have trickster and Kurt and they both |
| 7379s | finished in the top four |
| 7381s | yeah you don't that's you don't have say |
| 7383s | say and you don't have Kung King and |
| 7386s | they're the two that have won the two |
| 7387s | lobbies and I have both of them |
| 7390s | that's a fair point |
| 7393s | I think we should just skip the whole |
| 7395s | thing at the end of the casters points |
| 7398s | [Music] |
| 7401s | really worried that TJ who you know |
| 7403s | doesn't play that much Battlegrounds and |
| 7405s | me that plays more Battlegrounds and |
| 7407s | constructed these days and TJ was just |
| 7409s | going to High Roll everything and |
| 7410s | absolutely stomp me in points which |
| 7411s | could still happen by the way there's |
| 7413s | still a long way to go but more |
| 7415s | importantly spell this myth okay okay |
| 7417s | fine I play a ton of Battlegrounds okay |
| 7420s | sorry let me rephrase TJ who's not |
| 7421s | terrible at Battleground |
| 7425s | um meanwhile getting away from us and |
| 7427s | focusing back on the far more important |
| 7428s | thing which is the players that we have |
| 7429s | in front of as you can see now that top |
| 7431s | three uh junior kunking and say in the |
| 7435s | top three Kurt now hanging on to that |
| 7437s | crucial fourth place which we'll be |
| 7438s | making TJ very happy right now one more |
| 7441s | one more game to play in lobby a to |
| 7444s | decide well that top four cutoff is |
| 7447s | going to be uh senior held in both of |
| 7450s | our fantasy teams I believe not looking |
| 7452s | too shiny right now |
| 7454s | yeah it was a good pick though senior |
| 7457s | health has some good results recently |
| 7459s | um but not doing uh so well today I |
| 7462s | actually really liked his position |
| 7464s | though in that previous game but just |
| 7466s | got white Mane Cleaves sniped |
| 7469s | um but outside of that could have had if |
| 7472s | it wasn't specifically Kurt with |
| 7473s | specifically that snipe right only one |
| 7475s | that had cleave in in the entire Lobby |
| 7478s | that could have changed if senior health |
| 7480s | was was still in there right especially |
| 7482s | with States they say with that giant |
| 7483s | cookbook I could have just picked one up |
| 7485s | along the way yeah um that could have |
| 7488s | easily gotten the top three I think if |
| 7490s | it wasn't just that scenario that |
| 7491s | happened to him and that's the big |
| 7493s | advantage of having the cleave alongside |
| 7495s | it right is you don't have to hit the |
| 7498s | baron with the white Mane if you have a |
| 7500s | cleave you're massively favored to put |
| 7502s | the bar put the baron in danger because |
| 7505s | they're not going to put it first |
| 7506s | they're not gonna put it second they're |
| 7507s | not going to put it third you're kind of |
| 7508s | mandated to have frog bird Etc like |
| 7511s | going along that first queue so it's |
| 7513s | basically fifth sixth seventh that they |
| 7514s | have to decide between most of the time |
| 7516s | and you can cover basically all of that |
| 7518s | with a clear Eve and a white Mane in |
| 7520s | sixth position as we saw there so yep |
| 7522s | rough one in the end for senior held but |
| 7524s | we do have one more game left again yep |
| 7527s | that is right |
| 7528s | um before we jump into that third and |
| 7530s | final game for this Lobby we're gonna |
| 7532s | have to go to a quick break but don't go |
| 7534s | anywhere four players uh that would be |
| 7537s | moving on to our final day on Sunday |
| 7538s | will be determined right after this |

| 7745s | Battlegrounds Lobby Legends Hallows and |
| 7747s | my name is CJ I'm joined by saddle once |
| 7750s | again and it's time to jump into our |
| 7752s | third game of Lobby a and uh saddle I'm |
| 7757s | doing pretty well today I'm proud of you |
| 7759s | thanks buddy appreciate it I mean my my |
| 7762s | entire career has just been searching |
| 7764s | for for validation from you specifically |
| 7767s | TJ so hearing you say that makes it feel |
| 7769s | like it's all been worth it |
| 7775s | that's all I'm gonna say |
| 7778s | I had to do that through gritted teeth |
| 7782s | TJ's actually shot down you you guys |
| 7785s | have no idea Loki how competitive TJ |
| 7788s | gets specifically |
| 7790s | as well so this is going very very |
| 7792s | painful for TJ at the moment I think for |
| 7795s | the sake of the broadcast you should all |
| 7797s | root for TJ's picks for the rest of the |
| 7799s | game because if he doesn't start |
| 7801s | climbing back into this I think we're |
| 7803s | going to have a very very hard very |
| 7804s | awkward time for the rest of this |
| 7806s | broadcast |
| 7808s | yeah I'm not competitive at all I'm just |
| 7811s | here for fun |
| 7814s | at least that's what I tell myself yeah |
| 7816s | your actions seem to portray something |
| 7818s | different though TJ however we are |
| 7821s | dealing with eight players who are |
| 7823s | phenomenally competitive Kurt here good |
| 7826s | player to look at first because Kurt is |
| 7829s | currently sat in fourth position so if |
| 7831s | Kirk can pick up another middling result |
| 7833s | it probably means he banks that four |
| 7836s | third kind of position overall in the |
| 7838s | game and I think that is why we see him |
| 7840s | moving towards that c'thune once again |
| 7843s | trying to shoot for that middle of the |
| 7845s | pack finish |
| 7846s | yep and uh I think I'm going to deviate |
| 7850s | from my instacurt uh bandwagon |
| 7853s | with the c'thun pick TJ I don't even |
| 7857s | have to pick turn one anymore I can wait |
| 7860s | did my job's done |
| 7862s | yeah well I'm still gonna pick turn one |
| 7863s | I've rewarded the Believers |
| 7873s | yeah I picked turn one I picked senior |
| 7876s | held okay I'm down |
| 7880s | just because senior holds in a position |
| 7882s | where it's first or eighth right |
| 7886s | has to go big because it's currently |
| 7887s | lost in points and uh needs |
| 7891s | at least six even to just overtake the |
| 7894s | current Force |
| 7896s | um though needs a win to even have a |
| 7899s | chance how dare you you're just gonna do |
| 7902s | this every time |
| 7907s | this is called defending a lead TJ |
| 7916s | wait what's happened here |
| 7922s | wait senior health may have an issue |
| 7923s | because sunyhound is still on one |
| 7930s | which senior held should not be |
| 7935s | oh well jokes on you saddle |
| 7938s | well we can still change we can change |
| 7940s | as often as we like |
| 7942s | uh yeah it looks like senior health had |
| 7944s | some DC issues may have missed term one |
| 7946s | which is a significant problem for the |
| 7948s | Lich curve in general that is a huge |
| 7950s | huge problem |
| 7956s | you still believe TJ |
| 7958s | yep still believe okay |
| 7964s | I believe in life after love |
| 7967s | we know what olliex first starting Quest |
| 7971s | is |
| 7974s | no |
| 7975s | I was too busy seeding at the fact that |
| 7977s | you're just going to pick the same |
| 7978s | bandwagon as me from here on out |
| 7986s | all right good uh tap into shop to hit |
| 7989s | didn't get an economy minion on turn one |
| 7993s | which means hitting Tad there is pretty |
| 7996s | ideal in terms of maximizing board power |
| 7998s | on turn three |
| 7999s | yep |
| 8000s | not too bad |
| 8004s | um obviously the whelp is not going to |
| 8006s | be doing much but |
| 8009s | at least it's the third minion right so |
| 8011s | mm-hmm |
| 8013s | um looking at the rest uh say with the |
| 8016s | Gale Wing but did not go three on three |
| 8025s | unless it just hasn't updated yet |
| 8027s | so you like it now must have been |
| 8030s | offered a very appealing looking Tab and |
| 8032s | two shop which can happen |
| 8034s | yeah Asian Scout looks like |
| 8037s | yep okay |
| 8040s | we're just gonna get the two so not as |
| 8042s | big of a spike but uh obviously that |
| 8045s | just can be made up for with the Scout |
| 8046s | so |
| 8048s | uh not really that big of a of a |
| 8050s | detriment and now it gets just the the |
| 8052s | clean |
| 8054s | has a board plus can double buy and get |
| 8056s | the Discover |
| 8057s | uh just on a two instead |
| 8061s | what would selfless |
| 8063s | okay |
| 8069s | all battle cries for hidden body murlocs |
| 8072s | in |
| 8073s | has to be a consideration |
| 8077s | yeah coming 10 minion in hand had in |
| 8080s | shop for Smoking Gun |
| 8082s | uh beasts max out however which makes |
| 8086s | Smoking Gun far less attractive this is |
| 8089s | the murloc lobby by the way on that note |
| 8101s | I'm not sure |
| 8106s | there's another antibodies obviously the |
| 8107s | most powerful but played for battlecrime |
| 8109s | minions unless you specifically go |
| 8112s | murlocs |
| 8114s | it's not going to do anything and |
| 8116s | forcing like that can be difficult |
| 8120s | um |
| 8121s | there's also just tournament State |
| 8123s | considerations right where similar to |
| 8126s | Kurt say say is currently in third place |
| 8129s | overall with nine points uh closest |
| 8132s | competitor from outside of the top four |
| 8133s | is trickster and tutu on six see if you |
| 8136s | can just pick up a fourth to fifth kind |
| 8138s | of position you probably fancy your |
| 8140s | chances of getting top four from here uh |
| 8142s | which maybe leads you towards even like |
| 8144s | tiny henchmen for example over going for |
| 8146s | another hidden body sure yeah |
| 8156s | patience girl you'd love to see it okay |
| 8158s | still worked out picks up the whim |
| 8161s | foreign |
| 8184s | a little bit awkward here you would like |
| 8187s | to buy the Tad but it doesn't really fit |
| 8188s | a the curve or B the hero power |
| 8192s | activation |
| 8193s | it is probably just War leader and level |
| 8196s | unless your quest is saying something |
| 8199s | different |
| 8200s | yeah |
| 8203s | trickster has spent 25 gold |
| 8209s | which Ted does offer zerus okay but |
| 8218s | spending four more here for 13 so you |
| 8220s | then have 12 remaining |
| 8224s | if you spend five more here instead then |
| 8227s | you have 11 remaining which is then much |
| 8230s | more completable next turn 10 remaining |
| 8232s | in fact right so you have 10 gold to |
| 8235s | spend sorry 10 gold to complete with |
| 8237s | eight gold to spend which is very |
| 8239s | achievable next turn so yeah actually |
| 8240s | like this staying down one turn actually |
| 8242s | makes this very completable next turn I |
| 8244s | think this is well calculated from |
| 8246s | trickster oh geez senior hold oh no yeah |
| 8251s | that's brutal it is |
| 8255s | Sledge if you're taking this much damage |
| 8257s | this early |
| 8259s | there's not much way to come back |
| 8262s | unfortunate |
| 8263s | for senior senior health who had the DC |
| 8266s | issues on term one with a very early |
| 8268s | game uh focused I mean at this point in |
| 8273s | competition like if you miss a turn or |
| 8276s | even a partial turn early on in the game |
| 8278s | oh you're done yeah you're done yeah |
| 8282s | we both continue to believe I don't know |
| 8285s | it felt kind of shady to change the pick |
| 8286s | at that point after the DC even though |
| 8288s | we could have done so we both stuck it |
| 8289s | out with senior held but yeah |
| 8292s | ah |
| 8294s | awesome did you change |
| 8297s | I did in private |
| 8302s | you sucker |
| 8306s | all right all right now it's too late I |
| 8309s | see I see how it's gonna be who did you |
| 8310s | pick |
| 8312s | uh let me just look |
| 8314s | say say turn two okay |
| 8319s | well I swapped instantaneously all right |
| 8323s | all right I see how it's gonna be you |
| 8325s | want to play it like this that's fine I |
| 8327s | do I do want to play like that so |
| 8329s | whatever you see in the in the group |
| 8330s | chat of me picking my bandwagon pick you |
| 8333s | don't even know for sure if that's what |
| 8334s | I'm picking yeah that's fine that's fine |
| 8336s | what it's fine yeah it's okay |
| 8341s | I'm not triggered |
| 8349s | what is going on here |
| 8353s | Smoking Gun teal Tire Sapphire yeah |
| 8356s | Smoking Gun Sapphire is a little bit of |
| 8358s | a strange combination uh doesn't have |
| 8361s | any kind of ghastly mask set up which is |
| 8364s | normally what you have when you see this |
| 8365s | kind of dragon board coming together |
| 8368s | [Music] |
| 8370s | but for now at least is just kind of |
| 8372s | getting carried by the power of Smoking |
| 8374s | Gun will be winning fights for the next |
| 8376s | couple of turns basically purely off the |
| 8379s | back of that Quest yeah I mean just pick |
| 8382s | two that are easy to complete right that |
| 8384s | offer some form of tempo |
| 8388s | oh senior held one |
| 8391s | imagine completed the victim specter |
| 8395s | scaling up imagine if I still lose |
| 8399s | somehow miraculously comes back and wins |
| 8403s | this game |
| 8404s | imagine |
| 8408s | egg on my face |
| 8413s | in a way I want that to happen |
| 8420s | looks like oleak is gonna hold here |
| 8423s | gonna grow Greed for a six uh looking at |
| 8426s | all the exposition he is currently in |
| 8428s | seventh on Four Points only a senior |
| 8430s | held below him so this makes sense right |
| 8432s | I talked earlier with the first couple |
| 8434s | of games of the lobby are going to be |
| 8436s | the more normal looking games when I |
| 8437s | said like players don't tend to do this |
| 8439s | too much in the current meta game greed |
| 8441s | freeze greed freeze level to four level |
| 8443s | to five take a six doesn't tend to |
| 8445s | happen that often uh however when |
| 8448s | there's only one game left in the lobby |
| 8450s | and you're on four points and you have |
| 8453s | to overtake a player who bare minimum |
| 8456s | has eight right now it's the kind of |
| 8458s | thing you're gonna have to do |
| 8459s | look at this subtle |
| 8462s | all right looking pretty good got a |
| 8463s | Peggy ball of minions and a brute yeah |
| 8466s | it'd be pretty good honestly if they say |
| 8469s | won this Lobby considering he's in my |
| 8471s | fantasy team and not in yours that'd be |
| 8473s | fine I'm okay with that yeah |
| 8478s | a very dumb choice for your |
| 8481s | like I mean like Ben you only get one |
| 8484s | choice uh-huh and it was that's one |
| 8488s | thing that I've done for as long as I |
| 8490s | can remember is |
| 8491s | when I'm in doubt I just copy you |
| 8494s | [Laughter] |
| 8500s | blame me for that |
| 8502s | no you're right I can't |
| 8504s | valid strategy |
| 8508s | and Senior hold is gone unfortunate |
| 8512s | ending |
| 8513s | that means that he is going to finish on |
| 8516s | uh 2.5 points overall here |
| 8519s | yeah pretty rough pretty rough |
| 8523s | commiserations of course not the way |
| 8524s | anyone wants to see anyone's tournament |
| 8526s | ending with that uh disconnect on turn |
| 8528s | one but |
| 8530s | unfortunate circumstances and we must |
| 8533s | continue the show must go on and we move |
| 8535s | on to olick who is back on this slightly |
| 8539s | strange combination of quests with the |
| 8541s | sapphire and The Smoking Gun and now is |
| 8543s | gonna find a way to make this six drop |
| 8546s | happen I presume favor |
| 8550s | by cell Gambler you have the strong arm |
| 8554s | in hand |
| 8556s | no reason not to |
| 8559s | um |
| 8564s | this is a very interesting choice |
| 8566s | especially given |
| 8568s | Olex current board |
| 8571s | none of these have any particular |
| 8572s | Synergy with what he's got going on |
| 8575s | but to be honest I don't even know what |
| 8577s | six drop would with this |
| 8581s | well he has a scally |
| 8584s | okay which does make the Eliza at least |
| 8587s | somewhat tempting yeah but I would |
| 8590s | imagine nadina would have been the the |
| 8592s | go-to there immediately just for the |
| 8594s | straight up if you get nadina you can |
| 8596s | just go to six next turn right and then |
| 8598s | the world is your oyster you can figure |
| 8599s | out what you're doing on Six from that |
| 8601s | point yeah it's so powerful with the |
| 8602s | Medina |
| 8613s | a good selfless |
| 8617s | [Applause] |
| 8618s | is what it is |
| 8623s | huge value trade on the Elisa uh Lisa |
| 8626s | Eliza from the ball of minions and then |
| 8628s | Divine Shield basically taking down the |
| 8630s | second biggest minions is not looking |
| 8632s | great although that has cleaned things |
| 8634s | up nicely |
| 8636s | and now if this can go right it does |
| 8639s | Soviet picks up a trade snatching a tie |
| 8642s | out of the jaws of defeat at the end |
| 8644s | there very nice good amount of protected |
| 8646s | health |
| 8649s | into a gambler nice |
| 8663s | this is quite a cool board actually got |
| 8666s | the double Peggy going on now the ball |
| 8668s | of minions in there |
| 8672s | I think would love a Peggy triple at |
| 8676s | this point sometimes Peggy triples are a |
| 8679s | downside because you don't then have a |
| 8681s | third pirate like sometimes you just |
| 8682s | have two peggies that are buffing each |
| 8684s | other but finding golden Peggy here |
| 8686s | would mean that every single buff is |
| 8688s | then guaranteed to go on the ball of |
| 8689s | minions which you can then cash out into |
| 8692s | selling onto something else later in the |
| 8693s | game |
| 8698s | foreign |
| 8704s | 's turn I would imagine next turn to go |
| 8706s | looking for that nadina triple or triple |
| 8709s | into an Adena I should say yep |
| 8713s | does already have the one permanent |
| 8716s | Divine shield on this golden tarragosa |
| 8718s | as it will be next turn |
| 8724s | but Nadine are still offering an |
| 8726s | enormous amount of Instant Power |
| 8733s | is just big |
| 8736s | real big |
| 8740s | it does have some uh decent scaling |
| 8744s | potential |
| 8745s | terracotta proto-drake but |
| 8748s | uh it is like capped |
| 8761s | a little chunk but that's the first |
| 8763s | damage then he's taken uh |
| 8766s | this game so |
| 8768s | should be still fine |
| 8770s | Kurt is hanging off by a thread oh there |
| 8773s | we go Odin hammer on Hulker as well |
| 8777s | meaning that Kurt only needs two Hawkers |
| 8781s | to go infinite total here which is |
| 8784s | massive |
| 8787s | thank you Lorinda for letting us know |
| 8788s | the uh tarot triple did not find the |
| 8790s | nadina |
| 8792s | but let's absolutely stay focused here |
| 8794s | for at least this turn see if Kirk can |
| 8796s | find this fourth hogger I believe it was |
| 8798s | Kurt in game one right who was looking |
| 8799s | for Hogan number four and never quite |
| 8801s | found it was just a little bit shy of |
| 8802s | being infinite the entire time and I |
| 8804s | believe that was also on c'thun if my |
| 8807s | memory serves me correctly it was yeah |
| 8812s | foreign |
| 8813s | pirate gamer nope |
| 8819s | yeah you know you just pick c'thune go |
| 8821s | pirates like c'thun Pirates is sick it's |
| 8824s | just one of those nonsensical things |
| 8825s | there was a thing that Lorinda used to |
| 8826s | say was it like zirella no zirella |
| 8830s | Pirates right is that what laurindi he |
| 8832s | can confirm is that the things like |
| 8834s | lorinda's uh zarella is good with |
| 8837s | pirates I never really understood what |
| 8838s | the point was yeah they're confirming |
| 8840s | that that is indeed the thing I still |
| 8841s | don't understand why |
| 8844s | oh you know who's good with pirates |
| 8847s | cut |
| 8848s | patches ah yeah no good one good point |
| 8852s | yeah |
| 8853s | that high level Battlegrounds knowledge |
| 8855s | coming through again TJ |
| 8856s | okay I was about to ask I was about to |
| 8859s | say Lorinda if you could be so kind |
| 8861s | considering this is the murloc lobby |
| 8864s | does anyone actually have the murlocs |
| 8867s | and uh as if they are living deep inside |
| 8870s | my brain we go to tattoo immediately who |
| 8874s | is setting up the kind of board that you |
| 8876s | want to be playing |
| 8877s | yep |
| 8879s | let's have an ice block up |
| 8882s | got a splitting image here is that a |
| 8884s | brand |
| 8885s | Brian |
| 8887s | rip |
| 8889s | glass |
| 8891s | and so it's gonna be a matter of how |
| 8894s | many of these poisons can survive |
| 8897s | be able to deal okay that's not great |
| 8902s | they're gonna be a loss here regardless |
| 8904s | gonna be an ice block going down here |
| 8905s | regardless |
| 8909s | and tattoo has to have a favorable |
| 8912s | matchup here I would say because he's |
| 8914s | still a turn or two away from having a |
| 8917s | fully fleshed out robust kind of setup |
| 8920s | I'll cut again just one hogarsh short of |
| 8924s | the pirate dream as bit the dust once |
| 8928s | more |
| 8931s | that's huge last time with c'thun as |
| 8934s | well where uh hit it just slightly |
| 8937s | started hitting |
| 8939s | what |
| 8941s | okay real quick the Curt death is |
| 8944s | for the rest of the lobby because Kurt |
| 8946s | was the player on the bubble Kurt was in |
| 8947s | fourth which is the cutoff for going |
| 8949s | through to the finals Lobby tomorrow uh |
| 8951s | so Kurt now finishes on nine points |
| 8954s | total which is now a stationary Target |
| 8956s | for everyone else to try and shoot for |
| 8958s | obviously that's not necessarily a |
| 8959s | guarantee because multiple players could |
| 8961s | overtake that but you at least have some |
| 8963s | idea of what you're doing uh secondly |
| 8965s | where I have no idea what you're doing |
| 8967s | is uh golden tortolan blue shell not a |
| 8971s | situation I found myself in I've |
| 8973s | literally never seen it |
| 8975s | I'm guessing it's 10 gold it is 10 gold |
| 8978s | yeah okay |
| 8981s | uh |
| 8982s | patches is good parts |
| 8985s | [Laughter] |
| 8988s | we're going over to special analysis |
| 8991s | from TJ's patches is good with pirates |
| 8994s | thanks TJ |
| 8997s | golden turtle and blue shell is 10 gold |
| 9011s | I like where trickster's head is at here |
| 9013s | looks to be starting to pick up some |
| 9015s | minions to transition into right |
| 9019s | eventually you're gonna want something |
| 9020s | you're going to want a majority of |
| 9023s | cleaves and divine Shield Minions on |
| 9025s | your board so you can potentially dump |
| 9026s | this uh ball of Minion stats somewhere |
| 9028s | meaningful does currently have the uh |
| 9031s | the Divine Shield Dragon putting the |
| 9033s | Divine shield on the fall of minions |
| 9035s | which makes it somewhat relevant right |
| 9036s | now |
| 9042s | this is a small possibility for oh no it |
| 9045s | wasn't it would have needed one more |
| 9046s | revenge for the double double golden |
| 9047s | Eliza |
| 9050s | um but to get one from the Tony so who |
| 9053s | wouldn't touch you did not find the |
| 9055s | match up needed as I said you can still |
| 9058s | see that board just a turn or two away |
| 9061s | from being a full poison murloc set up |
| 9063s | get to the point where you're then just |
| 9065s | buying Divine Shields when you have |
| 9066s | poison and everything and you are mostly |
| 9068s | set in most scenarios cartoon just could |
| 9071s | not find the leeway needed to get there |
| 9076s | and now I'm taking a look at cooking um |
| 9080s | this is one |
| 9082s | stop no look I can't pick Barrel's |
| 9086s | blessing in this situation because I'm |
| 9087s | too busy looking at Golden turtle at |
| 9089s | every single role like what am I |
| 9091s | supposed to do |
| 9093s | stop rolling golden blue shell I need to |
| 9096s | think |
| 9104s | going to see if a khadgar is hit oh a |
| 9107s | cat guard's in the hand okay yeah |
| 9109s | there's a cat guy in the hand it doesn't |
| 9111s | necessarily make the board State here |
| 9113s | though |
| 9115s | uh because you're not done with the Tony |
| 9118s | just yet right like ideally you would |
| 9120s | want that second Eliza |
| 9125s | there's also the Temptation at some |
| 9127s | point for olliek to just throw some |
| 9128s | fights so we can actually get 10 gold |
| 9130s | back from this turtle and these blue |
| 9132s | shells that he has in hand which is a |
| 9134s | little bit worrying when you're making |
| 9135s | this pick like that's a real thing I'm |
| 9138s | just saying that's a thing that you |
| 9139s | might consider doing |
| 9150s | okay I'm in |
| 9156s | yeah we both went with oliac |
| 9159s | seems like enough raw stats |
| 9162s | yeah the problem is the lack of taunts |
| 9164s | which makes it a little bit sketchy |
| 9166s | overall |
| 9167s | oh okay fine |
| 9171s | fine okay |
| 9173s | actually I was worried that the Divine |
| 9177s | shoe was actually gonna go on the scalpy |
| 9178s | back and then people get resets |
| 9181s | oh DaVinci absolutely disgusting |
| 9187s | yeah it looks like we're gonna be |
| 9189s | correct as uh only actually have a nice |
| 9192s | smooth Victory here now big chunk of |
| 9195s | damage one shouldn't use way so nicely |
| 9199s | done and uh these blue shells aren't |
| 9204s | are going to be active the rest of the |
| 9206s | game |
| 9208s | so now you have the bullet space right |
| 9210s | because you don't need this Tony anymore |
| 9211s | so now you have to start thinking about |
| 9213s | whether this cat girl comes into play |
| 9214s | but still because he's on Golden |
| 9216s | selfless this is kind of a variation of |
| 9219s | this build that is a little bit less |
| 9221s | common uh because you have a board space |
| 9224s | allocated to the golden selfless uh |
| 9226s | because you have double golden Eliza big |
| 9227s | stats Divine Shield Baron Etc anyway |
| 9230s | like this is now the pivot point right |
| 9232s | do you want second scally plus khadgar |
| 9234s | plus everything else or do you want to |
| 9236s | stick with the selfless build having |
| 9238s | less Minions on board you do still have |
| 9239s | the dragon that you can throw away |
| 9242s | as a board space which gives you a |
| 9244s | little bit more freedom like just |
| 9246s | straight up replacing the dragon with |
| 9247s | the second scally is more stats on its |
| 9249s | own right if that's the only change that |
| 9251s | you make to this board |
| 9254s | yeah Trickster |
| 9257s | woman Peggy available but |
| 9260s | it seems like trickster has been |
| 9264s | on the same board state for quite a long |
| 9266s | time but it is very strong there's a lot |
| 9268s | of stats as Divine Shields |
| 9270s | honoredly right now selfless |
| 9273s | we'll have that golden piggy next turn |
| 9276s | still no poisonous but the stats are big |
| 9278s | enough right now to wear |
| 9280s | it's not like a super rush |
| 9283s | but we'll probably look to that as the |
| 9285s | game progressives and then kinking is |
| 9288s | what is this is nothing like what is |
| 9291s | what is happening it is very much a |
| 9294s | Daryl board |
| 9295s | [Music] |
| 9297s | and to be fair kunking has 10 points |
| 9302s | um so having made it to fifth has |
| 9304s | already improved that to 13 right which |
| 9306s | is going to be a very hard total to not |
| 9309s | make it so yeah picking picking Daryl |
| 9312s | put making a bunch of 2020s and getting |
| 9314s | fifth uh seems like a pretty solid plan |
| 9316s | from kunking's perspective really |
| 9322s | it actually wasn't like that bad of a |
| 9325s | loss |
| 9326s | like a couple better hits and that could |
| 9328s | have been a tie you know |
| 9330s | I mean he's dead that's that's all that |
| 9332s | really matters uh yeah but I would say |
| 9334s | that was like you know 80 percent |
| 9337s | by 80 lethal how's it going out there |
| 9340s | well I mean it was almost always lethal |
| 9342s | if was it was it too low okay yeah he |
| 9345s | was he was at three okay oh it is always |
| 9348s | lethal it's always late to die |
| 9351s | um all right so let's just say has been |
| 9354s | taking some damage over the past couple |
| 9356s | turns this Porter sounds |
| 9358s | yeah there's a lot of just kind of hot |
| 9362s | podgepodge together boards here although |
| 9364s | now Zhang Yu has found the goods it |
| 9367s | feels like a couple of players have |
| 9368s | teased us with us but this is now truly |
| 9371s | infinite not on this turn though just |
| 9374s | straight up like ran out of gold yep |
| 9377s | absolutely gross |
| 9381s | you have to selfless Baron this right at |
| 9384s | least I suppose actually Justin Adina |
| 9386s | yeah because you have the poisonous on |
| 9387s | the ball of minions like nothing you |
| 9390s | should sell basically everything you can |
| 9392s | this turn to survive this fight because |
| 9394s | again you have infinite gold next turn |
| 9397s | theoretically right so it doesn't matter |
| 9399s | what you get rid of this turn you should |
| 9400s | be able to replace it with things of |
| 9402s | equal or greater value next turn so |
| 9404s | don't worry too much about the Peggy |
| 9405s | that you had just get it out there to |
| 9407s | try and survive the fight I think all of |
| 9408s | these decisions from Janu have been |
| 9410s | excellent at the end of this turn apart |
| 9412s | from the decision he made to not roll |
| 9414s | Pirates which seems pretty amateurish to |
| 9416s | be honest yeah |
| 9419s | come on |
| 9424s | but to say it wasn't like overwhelmingly |
| 9427s | strong but still uh quite powerful I |
| 9431s | believe there was a taunted Leroy |
| 9434s | um oh sorry no it was not taunted |
| 9438s | Alexis |
| 9444s | okay Divine Shields everywhere this |
| 9447s | Leroy is a big deal though okay poison |
| 9450s | hearing a Divine Shield though is very |
| 9452s | relevant |
| 9454s | however this 8080 is going to have to do |
| 9456s | an enormous amount of work and doesn't |
| 9460s | what Tavernier is that that's 12 damage |
| 9463s | total so Janu does survive and that's |
| 9466s | really all that matters here |
| 9468s | trickster going down in fourth let's |
| 9471s | hang out with Jean Yu for a turn here |
| 9473s | though and see what he can make of our |
| 9475s | first theoretical infinite gold |
| 9477s | situation there you go okay there's the |
| 9480s | shot |
| 9486s | what's going on out here |
| 9491s | oh scaling right now is the problem what |
| 9494s | what how was that an orgazord not a |
| 9497s | manted |
| 9499s | yes |
| 9500s | hello it's an extra gold potentially an |
| 9503s | extra two gold you have infinite gold |
| 9505s | what you don't have is poisonous minions |
| 9508s | to win new fights all right it's that |
| 9510s | infinite gold it's a lot of gold |
| 9513s | not infinite |
| 9515s | uh-huh |
| 9517s | you are technically correct which is as |
| 9520s | we know the best kind of correct oh yeah |
| 9528s | um is on the technicality |
| 9533s | seems to be unless the animations are |
| 9535s | significantly ahead of what we are |
| 9536s | looking at which I think they actually |
| 9538s | might be he seemed to commit with the |
| 9540s | strong arms ridiculously early from my |
| 9542s | perspective uh but yeah we haven't |
| 9545s | actually seen that happen yet so I think |
| 9547s | his animations are just significantly |
| 9548s | decent from what we're looking at which |
| 9550s | is fine tends to happen |
| 9552s | I I'd rather be in a position where I |
| 9555s | get the strong arms out of my hand |
| 9557s | rather than in the turn with them still |
| 9559s | in my hand so |
| 9561s | finds the brand grab that whole girl |
| 9564s | grab that Uther |
| 9566s | grab that man today please thank you |
| 9569s | thank you |
| 9571s | he didn't even use the orgasaurus fell |
| 9573s | craft i'm livid |
| 9577s | I'm so angry |
| 9582s | all right here we go this is the goods |
| 9584s | right here |
| 9593s | this is Exodia and a half |
| 9597s | somebody just missing the Golden's on |
| 9599s | the uh |
| 9602s | Chad |
| 9606s | oh that's a horrible trade and I think |
| 9609s | that is gonna be over |
| 9612s | oh wow two big minions left over I |
| 9615s | wonder if like an extra poisonous Divine |
| 9617s | Shield minion could have been relevant |
| 9618s | on this fight |
| 9620s | maybe an orgazoa |
| 9625s | so we are down to top two say versus |
| 9629s | oliac oleek on the Exodia pirate scam |
| 9632s | scally build |
| 9633s | and say say on whatever on Earth you |
| 9637s | want to call this |
| 9642s | I mean nadina comp essentially is what |
| 9645s | this is |
| 9646s | um |
| 9647s | so some texts here for say to be able to |
| 9650s | beat this does have the white mean |
| 9653s | yep just big deal |
| 9655s | however peace out max out which means no |
| 9658s | white main cleave potential |
| 9662s | yeah but you have like two chances right |
| 9665s | like kedgar and baron have both have to |
| 9668s | be I guess they don't have to be |
| 9669s | anywhere specific nope they really don't |
| 9672s | uh in Pirates the pirate Exodia so |
| 9676s | um it can be |
| 9680s | yeah exactly |
| 9683s | especially with this uh selfless taunt |
| 9686s | and the scallywag having taunt as well |
| 9688s | on the side of oleak this is a very |
| 9690s | difficult |
| 9691s | uh turn to navigate in uh yeah where |
| 9695s | these techs go theoretically if you did |
| 9698s | have a selfless taunted and your two |
| 9699s | scallies taunted well actually no the |
| 9702s | selfless is a problem if you just have |
| 9703s | two taunted scalies you could try and |
| 9706s | put Baron second and get away with it |
| 9708s | right |
| 9709s | but because of the selfless if the |
| 9711s | selfless gets attacked and then the |
| 9713s | scallys get Divine Shield you could then |
| 9715s | have your Baron attacking before the |
| 9717s | scallys actually end up getting |
| 9718s | developed so the one eight taunt is |
| 9721s | interesting hoping that maybe the oh |
| 9724s | [Laughter] |
| 9731s | my gosh that's like the worst possible |
| 9736s | outcome to just kick things off I would |
| 9739s | say it's attack though right so now |
| 9741s | oleek is going yeah okay with the Eliza |
| 9744s | that gets poisoned |
| 9746s | but I believe that is still going to be |
| 9749s | Infinity damage coming through oleek is |
| 9752s | on six so all he needs is Eliza plus |
| 9753s | Baron to survive and we are way way past |
| 9756s | that which means olliek is going to be |
| 9758s | taking this one down risky pick with the |
| 9761s | dinathrius Bold decision to go for |
| 9764s | scally build the Exodia Pirates but he |
| 9767s | does end up picking down the picking up |
| 9769s | the win and that means olliek with a |
| 9771s | full seven points on top of the four he |
| 9774s | started this game with will now go to |
| 9775s | 11. not sure what the final standings |
| 9778s | will look like overall but he certainly |
| 9780s | moved past the uh stationary post that I |
| 9783s | was talking about which is Kurt who went |
| 9785s | out on nine |
| 9786s | yeah |
| 9787s | uh which is unfortunate uh for for Kurt |
| 9791s | uh and for me but |
| 9795s | um and Stacy say didn't win so even with |
| 9797s | my Shady tactics I still wasn't able to |
| 9799s | get a bandwagon Bitcoin yeah so just to |
| 9801s | be clear on on bandwagon picks if you |
| 9804s | pick someone and they do really well |
| 9806s | they get into top two but then they get |
| 9808s | second which is obviously one place away |
| 9809s | from getting first uh how relevant is |
| 9812s | that to bandwagon picks again TJ |
| 9815s | uh |
| 9816s | uh it's completely relevant oh is it |
| 9819s | okay |
| 9821s | because you get to feel a little bit |
| 9823s | better |
| 9825s | that close to earning points okay fair |
| 9828s | enough |
| 9829s | but in terms of gaining points no not |
| 9831s | relevant at all |
| 9833s | right good to know |
| 9838s | it's a rough day uh |
| 9841s | for those three TJ fans out there |
| 9843s | we're like I really want TJ to win |
| 9848s | shout out to the three of you it might |
| 9850s | be only three people that want TJ to win |
| 9853s | there's a whole Army of people that want |
| 9855s | subtle to lose so they are still on your |
| 9857s | side by default you know that's true |
| 9859s | that's true |
| 9861s | all right there you have it uh George oh |
| 9865s | trickster the oliac win that top two the |
| 9870s | oliac victory picking up that one |
| 9872s | additional Point uh could have made the |
| 9874s | difference although if olly egg had got |
| 9876s | second he still would have been ahead on |
| 9878s | tie Breakers due to a six-point uh best |
| 9882s | individual result being the number one |
| 9884s | tiebreakers olliex still would have got |
| 9885s | there with the second place in the end |
| 9887s | uh but tricks are coming very very close |
| 9889s | both of those players trickster and |
| 9891s | oleic overtaking Kurt who is in fourth |
| 9894s | place going into Lobby three but there |
| 9896s | you see your top four going through uh |
| 9899s | two tomorrow to our final Lobby Janu say |
| 9902s | kunking and oleek |
| 9906s | taking first place in the group was not |
| 9909s | what I expected kind of quietly uh |
| 9912s | earning points uh I thought it was going |
| 9914s | to be safe to say just because maybe |
| 9915s | recency biased the last two games they |
| 9917s | seem to be dominating |
| 9919s | with a half a point up just with a five |
| 9922s | 5.55 just a really consistent |
| 9924s | performance uh to take first place but |
| 9926s | as we say at the beginning of the |
| 9928s | broadcast in that subtle just kind of |
| 9929s | said now but not quite as obvious as I'm |
| 9932s | about to it doesn't matter if you get |
| 9935s | first or fourth as long as you make it |
| 9937s | into that top four you go to Sunday and |
| 9939s | everything's reset and everything starts |
| 9941s | over uh tomorrow once we get into that |
| 9943s | final Lobby so uh congratulations to the |
| 9946s | players that made it and thought all |
| 9948s | none of my fantasy picks made it into |
| 9951s | day two oh that's weird I got two I got |
| 9955s | two of my fantasy team in in the top |
| 9956s | four that's that's quite a lot more than |
| 9958s | zero actually oh think about it isn't it |
| 9960s | big old goose egg yeah well not if you |
| 9963s | multiply it if you multiply zero and two |
| 9965s | you get zero so |
| 9968s | cool that's the rules yep yeah that's |
| 9971s | what that's what we agree too I'm |
| 9974s | bringing the ship down with me |
| 9976s | I'm gonna take this whole broadcast down |
| 9980s | I'll make my own Lobby Legends you might |
| 9982s | you've been trying to bring the |
| 9983s | broadcast down for about six seasons of |
| 9985s | America's Grand Masters and you haven't |
| 9987s | succeeded yet so I have a little faith |
| 9988s | that you'll manage it this time in a way |
| 9990s | I succeeded true actually like good |
| 9994s | point is there gonna be an America's |
| 9996s | Grand matters anymore you know what TJ I |
| 9998s | concede my point you are absolutely |
| 10000s | correct yeah and how many players from |
| 10004s | North America are competing in the world |
| 10005s | championship for constructed |
| 10007s | see if you think about it like that I I |
| 10009s | did kind of take it down all from the |
| 10011s | inside |
| 10012s | all right uh well that concludes Lobby a |
| 10015s | which means we're at our halfway point |
| 10017s | for the day everybody knows how much I |
| 10018s | love halfway points |
| 10020s | um we are gonna have to go to a little |
| 10021s | bit of a break but in that break we're |
| 10024s | gonna get uh Lobby B set up and we still |
| 10026s | have three more games uh with eight |
| 10028s | fresh new players to determine uh who's |
| 10031s | going to join the top four from this |
| 10033s | Lobby uh in our final day tomorrow so uh |
| 10036s | we'll be right back don't go anywhere |
| 10037s | more Lobby Legends right after this |

| 10660s | welcome back to hearthstone's |
| 10662s | Battlegrounds Lobby Legends I'm TJ |
| 10664s | joined by saddle |
| 10666s | the master of points and predictions and |
| 10669s | tap |
| 10677s | this makes hang on should we try that |
| 10679s | again there we go hey |
| 10681s | I I literally cannot let you win this |
| 10684s | one hey okay |
| 10686s | this is Dashi he likes being carried |
| 10689s | like a baby and he would not shut up |
| 10691s | during the break unless I cuddled him so |
| 10693s | here we are okay my cats are like 50 |
| 10696s | feet away |
| 10698s | battling with my competitiveness with |
| 10700s | soddle to have a cuter cat versus my |
| 10703s | professionalism on the broadcast to not |
| 10705s | have to leave for a good 20 seconds to |
| 10707s | get a cat |
| 10710s | all right I will repeat indeed I will |
| 10713s | handle Group B uh we have a couple of |
| 10716s | returning players who we might know |
| 10718s | fairly well pompata is a player that |
| 10720s | functioned very early on also a big |
| 10723s | performer in community tournaments that |
| 10725s | we have seen prior and during the lobby |
| 10727s | Legends as well uh is a very very good |
| 10730s | player indeed kid a player with a very |
| 10732s | different story a kid a player who I |
| 10735s | believe has tanked out once in |
| 10737s | qualifiers in lobby Legends 3 and also |
| 10740s | finished outright eighth after making it |
| 10743s | through to the broadcast in lobby |
| 10744s | Legends 2 I believe it was to the point |
| 10747s | uh where another player named themselves |
| 10750s | uh kid five which is essentially like |
| 10752s | saying like F's in chat for kid |
| 10754s | essentially as far as we understand it |
| 10757s | um so it's now having a moment of |
| 10759s | redemption hey let's see if we can hello |
| 10761s | I don't know if they understand monitors |
| 10763s | and cameras hello |
| 10766s | now you're a friend what's going on |
| 10770s | uh so using the twitch extension please |
| 10773s | vote for which cat you think is cuter |
| 10775s | and the winner will receive 1 000 points |
| 10781s | that's perfect very loudly I don't know |
| 10783s | if you can hear yeah mine is too |
| 10786s | mind's praying louder |
| 10792s | uh well I mean Hearthstone Esports has |
| 10795s | peaked really hasn't it |
| 10797s | oh it doesn't go up from here |
| 10802s | all right |
| 10807s | talk is through your fantasy picks TJ |
| 10811s | kid kraneko and gongi |
| 10814s | there you go |
| 10815s | I'm just got a Hearthstone pill current |
| 10817s | Echo picked him last time didn't do well |
| 10820s | so just statistics say that he should do |
| 10824s | well this time isn't that how it works |
| 10826s | cool yeah if that's what you want to |
| 10828s | believe we can go with it yep |
| 10831s | and then kid because I just copied your |
| 10832s | first pick |
| 10833s | nice |
| 10836s | a good reputation overall within the |
| 10839s | Chinese scene from what I am aware |
| 10841s | although he has been made fun of a |
| 10842s | little bit because of the |
| 10843s | underperformances in lobby Legends which |
| 10845s | is kind of a theme with my picks overall |
| 10848s | or something that pompata and kid both |
| 10850s | share I think they're both very very |
| 10852s | good very well respected players within |
| 10853s | their individual scenes but very similar |
| 10856s | records within Lobby Legends uh pompata |
| 10860s | with three appearances overall uh two |
| 10862s | tanking out in qualifiers and one eighth |
| 10865s | place uh no sorry pompata has an eighth |
| 10867s | place made it through to final day and |
| 10869s | then got eight in the final Lobby where |
| 10871s | his kid has two total appearances uh one |
| 10874s | uh tanking out in eighth and one tank |
| 10877s | out in sixth I believe overall so both |
| 10879s | underperforming in general when they |
| 10882s | make it uh to the broadcast and both you |
| 10885s | know not being the ever presence that |
| 10887s | like I say say are for example but I |
| 10889s | remember Watching pomparta Fairly |
| 10891s | closely he was a player I featured in a |
| 10893s | graded video as well and was fairly |
| 10895s | impressed with the way he played despite |
| 10897s | hitting eighth in that final Lobby on |
| 10899s | the last day so I'm expecting some big |
| 10901s | things from pompata and if nothing else |
| 10903s | he's from Japan which is a cheat code |
| 10906s | these days when it comes to being good |
| 10908s | at Hearthstone in various different |
| 10909s | disciplines yeah in every discipline it |
| 10914s | seems uh |
| 10917s | maybe with the exception of Arena |
| 10920s | uh who knows |
| 10922s | I feel like the uh the the old us of a |
| 10926s | has been pretty dominant in Arena |
| 10929s | outside of standard dachi for quite some |
| 10931s | time |
| 10933s | it's not outdated information stated |
| 10936s | still is usually Atop The leaderboards |
| 10940s | that used to be the thing that we used |
| 10942s | to say when stanudachi would make it to |
| 10944s | like a constructed event like five years |
| 10946s | ago ah it's great in Arena too |
| 10949s | still True to this day just waiting for |
| 10951s | sanyodachi to make an appearance in |
| 10952s | battleground's lobby Legends to get the |
| 10954s | hat trick |
| 10955s | I mean has done very well in community |
| 10957s | Battlegrounds tournaments as well you've |
| 10959s | given me an opportunity to talk about |
| 10961s | how great standard Archie is at |
| 10962s | everything which I will now take |
| 10964s | liberally but no not in this tournament |
| 10965s | so we probably shouldn't focus on him |
| 10967s | too much |
| 10968s | um absolutely just brought our cats for |
| 10971s | like five minutes |
| 10973s | yeah but our cats are here like they're |
| 10974s | they're part of the broadcast you know |
| 10976s | like that's very different well little |
| 10978s | do you know Stan |
| 10981s | yeah it's a cradling in my arms right |
| 10984s | now |
| 10985s | oh he's purring |
| 10989s | foreign |
| 11001s | um |
| 11003s | where were we |
| 11005s | oh yeah Japan |
| 11008s | um yeah that's also one of the reasons |
| 11010s | why I picked current Echo Korean echo in |
| 11012s | the I think it was the previous Lobby |
| 11014s | Legends yes it was I did make it into |
| 11016s | the final day uh but like super tanked |
| 11020s | on the final day like just absolutely |
| 11023s | had nothing going a very senior held |
| 11026s | from last Lobby Vibes uh in terms of uh |
| 11030s | uh like what he was trying to do just |
| 11033s | nothing was working and it's pretty |
| 11035s | reflective in like if you compare like |
| 11038s | current echo's win rate |
| 11040s | um to other players with similar amount |
| 11042s | of appearance appearances uh in lobby |
| 11045s | Legends to him where it's pretty low |
| 11047s | it's only slightly above uh 50 uh and |
| 11052s | very little wins |
| 11054s | um but that's that you know what that's |
| 11055s | supposed to mean that suppose Dark Horse |
| 11058s | I mean in general this is kind of a dark |
| 11061s | horse group if you look at just the |
| 11063s | total number of appearances between |
| 11065s | group a and Group B group a has 25 total |
| 11068s | appearances in lobby Legends you know |
| 11070s | say has six out of seven Kur five out of |
| 11073s | seven olliex six out of seven there's |
| 11075s | only 11 total in group b so between |
| 11079s | oleek and say say they have more Lobby |
| 11082s | Legends qualifications than the entirety |
| 11084s | of Group B put together so you have to |
| 11087s | look at that and say that this is like |
| 11088s | the dark horse group the less |
| 11089s | experienced group overall so I think |
| 11092s | it's a harder one to predict uh although |
| 11095s | 50 of your casting crew apparently found |
| 11097s | group a quite hard to predict as well |
| 11100s | um but I do think this is much more of a |
| 11102s | wild card when it comes to fantasy teams |
| 11103s | and of course for these players and and |
| 11105s | who's going to make it through to join |
| 11107s | the four players that we got out of |
| 11108s | group a |
| 11109s | yeah it's uh it's gonna be interesting |
| 11112s | to see how it plays out but I I know |
| 11114s | that I'm gonna struggle for sure with my |
| 11116s | uh my bandwagon picks |
| 11120s | um but honestly I would say that no |
| 11121s | matter what the a players were so |
| 11125s | I just tend to struggle period |
| 11130s | yeah indeed |
| 11132s | um overall uh I do think that kid is a |
| 11135s | player to keep an eye on overall though |
| 11137s | I do think that that need for vengeance |
| 11140s | from the slightly poor performances that |
| 11142s | he's had so far and a little bit of uh |
| 11144s | poking a fun that kid five then had who |
| 11147s | then went on to win the tournament with |
| 11149s | the name that was making fun of kid to |
| 11151s | begin with I think that's something that |
| 11154s | you probably would are going to want to |
| 11156s | uh put to bed sooner rather than later |
| 11157s | so hopefully that will be the case |
| 11160s | [Music] |
| 11162s | seems like right now we're just uh |
| 11163s | waiting for the lobby to get set up |
| 11165s | um |
| 11166s | uh of course we're moving to a new group |
| 11168s | so we got to get eight players organized |
| 11171s | in a test game in the lobby and then |
| 11173s | start an actual game so that's why Sato |
| 11175s | and I seemed to be |
| 11177s | uh just filling time right now because |
| 11180s | we are and uh |
| 11183s | uh let me prepare some topics for us to |
| 11185s | talk about what's your favorite hero |
| 11187s | soddle currently current metagame uh |
| 11190s | Milhouse always any matter basically it |
| 11194s | just is it's just the most boring answer |
| 11197s | how is Milhouse boring Milhouse is the |
| 11200s | opposite of boring at all times Milhouse |
| 11203s | is boring |
| 11205s | it's the same play patterns over and |
| 11208s | over and over again this is the |
| 11210s | beginning of time that's literally not |
| 11213s | true like the idea of Milhouse is that |
| 11214s | you can't just keep rolling for the same |
| 11216s | thing that you want to play every time |
| 11218s | you have to exactly same play pattern |
| 11221s | see what you're given |
| 11224s | ah |
| 11228s | all right next topic TJ we got |
| 11231s | you didn't even ask me my favorite I |
| 11233s | don't care that's why next topic come on |
| 11235s | I care okay what's your favorite hero to |
| 11238s | play in this current meta game teaching |
| 11240s | I don't have one |
| 11241s | oh I love them all equally |
| 11246s | but like your children and pets apart |
| 11250s | from the one who's just vomiting no |
| 11251s | which I won't confirm whether it's a |
| 11254s | child or pet my my kids yes I love them |
| 11257s | both equally but my animals no there is |
| 11261s | a definite ranking |
| 11263s | uh and uh I I mean I have literally one |
| 11267s | two three four five |
| 11272s | six animals within 10 feet of me right |
| 11274s | now |
| 11276s | but they don't understand English so |
| 11278s | that's true yeah I can rank them as as |
| 11281s | much as I want you can tell them |
| 11282s | whatever you want yeah but I do think in |
| 11286s | general just meta concerns |
| 11289s | a lot of my favorite heroes are less |
| 11292s | playable than they ever have been |
| 11294s | because I like greedy economy Heroes and |
| 11297s | the metagame right now doesn't really |
| 11299s | play Super well with greedy economy |
| 11301s | Heroes |
| 11302s | um togwaggle is uh a little bit of a |
| 11306s | struggle |
| 11308s | um power of is a little bit of a |
| 11310s | struggle these days like you can still |
| 11311s | high roll they still have the |
| 11312s | opportunity to be that one person in the |
| 11314s | lobby that High Rolls super hard and |
| 11315s | just goes off |
| 11316s | um but as we saw mostly from game one |
| 11319s | and game two in lobby a that we just saw |
| 11321s | like those kind of like culturous boards |
| 11324s | that we saw on like term five turn six |
| 11325s | turn seven right if you're too busy |
| 11328s | ramping economy you're just gonna get |
| 11329s | murdered you're gonna get 15 into 15 and |
| 11332s | then you know when you hit your six you |
| 11334s | suddenly just queue into someone that's |
| 11336s | completed stolen gold and you just die |
| 11337s | right like The Meta is very very Tempo |
| 11341s | focused these days |
| 11343s | um and it's kind of consistent scaling |
| 11345s | of stats just be big early and then |
| 11347s | continue to get bigger transition into |
| 11349s | some sort of poison plan later on in the |
| 11351s | game |
| 11352s | um which to me is a little bit |
| 11354s | frustrating because you know I like |
| 11355s | going crazy with the economy builds and |
| 11357s | doing things with lots of actions and |
| 11359s | APM Pirates and going through insane |
| 11361s | Elemental turns and all those kind of |
| 11363s | things which tend to be harder to |
| 11366s | achieve these days as opposed to just |
| 11368s | playing for pure Tempo and poison and |
| 11370s | early murlocs and picking up toxins and |
| 11372s | divine Shields and everything wherever |
| 11373s | you can so a lot of these like bid tier |
| 11377s | Quest Heroes like all the heroes would |
| 11378s | like four to five armor which tend to be |
| 11381s | very popularly picked overall are the |
| 11383s | ones that I also tend to find at least |
| 11385s | interesting a lot of the time but if |
| 11387s | you're trying to win they're the ones |
| 11389s | that you have to pick so I think that's |
| 11390s | kind of the the hard thing to defeat for |
| 11392s | a lot of players right now who are used |
| 11394s | to playing these super greedy economy |
| 11396s | Heroes |
| 11397s | yeah it seems like finding a mix between |
| 11399s | like your hero power level but also your |
| 11403s | uh your quality of quest rewards versus |
| 11408s | uh you know request requirement right uh |
| 11411s | seems to be the The Sweet Spot like |
| 11413s | picking a hero that's middling power uh |
| 11417s | but is like a higher armor tier so that |
| 11419s | way you know you get those uh easier to |
| 11421s | complete quests higher Tempo |
| 11424s | Etc I realized now thinking about it |
| 11426s | more about my favorite hero I just like |
| 11429s | the dopamine Rush of discovering Tavern |
| 11431s | tier three minions so AFK and Gail wing |
| 11436s | okay yeah sure |
| 11438s | our uh are two of my favorites I know |
| 11440s | AFK is not really a |
| 11443s | I actually think AFK is pretty popular |
| 11445s | but she's not good |
| 11448s | like a high a high pick rate when |
| 11450s | offered but |
| 11452s | um not a high win rate uh for AFK |
| 11456s | um I don't know why that is I don't know |
| 11458s | why maybe there it is the dopamine Rush |
| 11460s | of discovering Tavern tier 3 minions but |
| 11466s | um I also like c'thune and fluracle |
| 11469s | I think AFK got a little bit better as |
| 11471s | well with uh faceless disciple being |
| 11473s | thrown in the pool as well because you |
| 11475s | can end up like not only is it just a |
| 11477s | 6'4 which is one of the biggest things |
| 11479s | that you can discover on its own but you |
| 11481s | can then end up with uh four drop and |
| 11482s | three drop on the early turn as well |
| 11484s | like really high roll in certain |
| 11485s | situations in overseer two is a big one |
| 11488s | yep uh that uh lets you kind of make up |
| 11492s | the |
| 11492s | detriment of |
| 11494s | being AFK |
| 11496s | for your first two turns and then of |
| 11498s | course |
| 11499s | subtly fell into the ultimate trap |
| 11502s | Master win is everybody's favorite |
| 11504s | because it's all of them in one |
| 11507s | I I do like demand I do like no MTV |
| 11509s | fails is I for the same reason as I like |
| 11512s | the quest that allows you to pick a |
| 11514s | quest at the start of every time like I |
| 11516s | like Heroes where you start a turn and |
| 11518s | you feel like you have seven decisions |
| 11520s | to make immediately you know like those |
| 11521s | are the heroes I like to play |
| 11523s | um and generally economy heroes are that |
| 11526s | because the more money you have to spend |
| 11528s | the more you can buy sell things with |
| 11530s | Milhouse for example the more that |
| 11531s | translates directly into decisions but |
| 11533s | yeah if you have to pick a new hero |
| 11535s | power or pick a new Quest reward or |
| 11536s | whatever at the start of every turn as |
| 11537s | well uh then yeah I'm very much on board |
| 11540s | for that at the same time |
| 11544s | you ever play the you ever do the Reno |
| 11546s | challenge |
| 11547s | what's the arena challenge |
| 11549s | uh where if you play Reno and you gold |
| 11552s | in the first minion you buy |
| 11556s | no no I haven't |
| 11559s | oh yeah well that makes sense because I |
| 11560s | just made that challenge up right now I |
| 11562s | was gonna say I mean I made it up with |
| 11565s | two weeks ago right |
| 11569s | people do that with what with |
| 11570s | wrathweaver |
| 11572s | oh yeah but I'm talking to I'm talking |
| 11574s | about like you have to oh yeah yeah fine |
| 11578s | foreign |
| 11582s | Battlegrounds has broken out uh |
| 11585s | apologies for the delay I think players |
| 11587s | are a little bit slow in conceding the |
| 11589s | test game then we had a real Lobby and |
| 11591s | it disconnected and so we had to start |
| 11593s | all over again but now here we are we |
| 11595s | have a real live game of hearthstone in |
| 11598s | front of us uh sliders on Daryl is going |
| 11600s | to be going with the lady Vash and |
| 11603s | starting on the scally here |
| 11607s | I like it |
| 11609s | I like it I do |
| 11616s | yeah we got another c'thun it seems to |
| 11619s | be pretty high pick rate in the group |
| 11623s | uh stage just because you can |
| 11626s | pretty regularly hit top four or maybe |
| 11629s | not top four but you know like at the |
| 11633s | very least top six |
| 11635s | uh just because of you know raw stats |
| 11642s | but sometimes top six can be the |
| 11644s | difference between making it into that |
| 11646s | top four and not making it to the top |
| 11647s | four one that groups your tally |
| 11650s | yeah I think since the fairly recent |
| 11653s | change to c'thun to the hero power |
| 11656s | so that you don't actually have to use |
| 11658s | it on every turn to get the scaling |
| 11660s | going it has become a fairly reasonable |
| 11663s | daryl-esque pick right just a kind of |
| 11665s | mid-tier hero that can get some stats on |
| 11667s | the board early does have some upsides |
| 11669s | does have some Quest synergies that can |
| 11670s | really make things happen as well uh |
| 11672s | very again similar to Daryl although |
| 11675s | different since uh anima bribe has |
| 11677s | departed but still I think for |
| 11679s | tournament purposes and specifically for |
| 11682s | qualifying tournament purposes the idea |
| 11685s | of getting a hero that can get you |
| 11686s | thirds and fourths is really not too bad |
| 11688s | to go for |
| 11692s | there it is |
| 11703s | okay |
| 11704s | [Music] |
| 11709s | I'm like the greatest shop but I guess |
| 11714s | banking some money is not the worst |
| 11716s | thing in the world |
| 11717s | uh |
| 11720s | I'm always curious when players pick a |
| 11722s | tune how they're going to play the early |
| 11724s | game like how many hero Powers they |
| 11725s | actually weave in in the early game |
| 11729s | and it doesn't look like |
| 11732s | uh Seoul is going to be doing |
| 11734s | much of that based on the |
| 11736s | way this this start has gone |
| 11742s | oh okay |
| 11747s | this is a solid map start here |
| 11750s | already a triple lined up for |
| 11753s | I I didn't see which turn that was |
| 11755s | actually hero power but it looks like |
| 11757s | three turns from now |
| 11759s | and then also the second myrmidon Frozen |
| 11762s | in the shop are not frozen that one that |
| 11764s | one's also hero powered so just needs to |
| 11766s | find one more of those and they can |
| 11768s | start leveling oh geez okay okay |
| 11771s | interesting so you do now yeah I have |
| 11774s | the possibility well no you don't |
| 11777s | actually |
| 11779s | because you don't have the token on your |
| 11782s | board right now |
| 11783s | you can't get the third Alley Cat to |
| 11786s | generate a regular token while also |
| 11788s | tripling it |
| 11790s | oh yeah |
| 11794s | here's an issue |
| 11796s | all being pointed out to us by the way |
| 11798s | you did actually get a significant |
| 11799s | amount of points for the second place |
| 11801s | bandwagging pick it does actually go on |
| 11802s | a sliding scale so if you get uh if you |
| 11805s | pick a second place player you do |
| 11806s | actually get points for it |
| 11810s | which is a big deal considering I'm |
| 11812s | going to ask that question in the first |
| 11814s | week in uh got a different answer but |
| 11817s | maybe I'm just completely incorrect but |
| 11819s | cool considering I picked a player who |
| 11821s | finished eighth of that game that's |
| 11823s | quite a big deal for you |
| 11824s | yeah it's still nowhere close though |
| 11827s | so in this situation guy could I mean |
| 11831s | you could just like |
| 11833s | uh |
| 11834s | I can't |
| 11841s | I was gonna say hero power The Alley Cat |
| 11844s | and then you get the two triples |
| 11852s | but this is still fine you can still |
| 11854s | just keep Tabby tearing up eventually |
| 11856s | get the triple and probably find triples |
| 11858s | for the others as well so wow oh okay |
| 11862s | current Echo is just cashed out on a |
| 11865s | random |
| 11866s | I mean I like it uh I feel like we saw |
| 11869s | players punish so many times uh for |
| 11873s | being too greedy with the galicron hero |
| 11875s | power |
| 11876s | about previously I feel like especially |
| 11878s | in the current minute there's a lot of |
| 11879s | sixes that take too long to pay off yeah |
| 11883s | um if you need to like Tavern tear up to |
| 11887s | hit other strong Minions that synergize |
| 11889s | with the tavern tier six so I feel like |
| 11892s | there's less that are just catch-all uh |
| 11895s | good uh nowadays so I like the rental |
| 11897s | it's just good |
| 11898s | economy I guess to kind of move on up |
| 11906s | foreign |
| 11909s | oh wow okay decisions to be made here |
| 11911s | for sure as to whether this is a hero |
| 11913s | power or a freeze buy for gongi |
| 11917s | yeah looks like it is going to be the |
| 11919s | freeze buy option |
| 11925s | my intake was to hear a part of the |
| 11927s | selfless there but uh just because it's |
| 11930s | like always generally good |
| 11935s | um |
| 11935s | in a a |
| 11939s | lobby with nagas |
| 11942s | you know you can get that triple and hit |
| 11943s | like uh |
| 11946s | coil Fang |
| 11948s | oh it's called |
| 11951s | no |
| 11953s | yeah the spell crap spell craft is |
| 11956s | permanent like gives a permanent uh buff |
| 11958s | oh Creator Anglo Critter Wrangler yeah |
| 11961s | sorry |
| 11961s | I don't know why I thought coil thing |
| 11966s | that could be a good a good Boon to move |
| 11971s | forward okay victim Specter is actually |
| 11972s | complete so this is going to be just a |
| 11974s | lot of extra minions yeah I don't know |
| 11977s | for current Echo I don't love kernaku's |
| 11980s | positioning based on that as well |
| 11982s | because |
| 11984s | by having his imprisoner far right he |
| 11986s | now has the imprisoner token far right |
| 11989s | which you absolutely don't want to be |
| 11991s | the last thing that dies right under any |
| 11993s | circumstance it's not going to be but |
| 11994s | okay gets away with it gets a swabby |
| 11997s | that's pretty good |
| 11999s | foreign |
| 12020s | get in the first triple here |
| 12024s | um of a few |
| 12028s | and gonna go for a second as well |
| 12031s | yeah |
| 12032s | yeah it does have uh increased stats on |
| 12036s | the Quest for kidnap sack |
| 12039s | so getting these extra spell crafts |
| 12041s | immediately uh glow scale obviously not |
| 12042s | one of them but otherwise just having |
| 12044s | the three tridents to use this turns |
| 12048s | see how close he is to that Quest |
| 12051s | starts dumping these spellcraft |
| 12056s | so six seven eight and then nine from |
| 12058s | the mummy means that he completes next |
| 12060s | turn and gets the sack |
| 12065s | uh |
| 12067s | uh well close to it next turn right |
| 12070s | well you would presume he would need he |
| 12073s | will need to increase stats by one other |
| 12075s | method next turn right yeah they'll |
| 12077s | actually go to turn with the mummy |
| 12079s | but also he's gonna get the buffed |
| 12082s | Minion from the hero power added to his |
| 12083s | hand which is okay this one yeah yeah |
| 12087s | because that imprisoner was uh |
| 12089s | hero-powered |
| 12091s | uh and we'll come in the hand next turn |
| 12099s | okay |
| 12104s | this is quite the board it's just the |
| 12107s | snipe board it is yeah with full |
| 12110s | temperature |
| 12113s | this kind of similar to your Milhouse |
| 12114s | complaints though is kind of the deal |
| 12117s | with uh I was TalkBack or whack toggle |
| 12120s | one of them this this particular hero |
| 12125s | um I said talk about earlier whenever |
| 12127s | shut up I'm realizing now I said talk |
| 12129s | waggle earlier when I met gallyworks as |
| 12131s | well which probably didn't make any |
| 12132s | sense at the time and that just popped |
| 12134s | into my head but much like Milhouse he |
| 12136s | kind of stuck in that position where |
| 12137s | with your first and second hero Powers |
| 12139s | you're kind of stuck just taking what |
| 12141s | you're offered and trying to build |
| 12142s | something out of it so uh with the bombs |
| 12144s | and the jugglers this is just kind of |
| 12146s | what razamore has received so far up |
| 12148s | until this point |
| 12151s | now gets to Triple into a five to try |
| 12153s | and hopefully find some sort of |
| 12155s | Direction Mama Bear is |
| 12159s | dumb form of Direction it's a little bit |
| 12162s | counter synergistic with what he has |
| 12163s | going on right now but it's something |
| 12166s | that he can choose to play towards |
| 12169s | but on Blue Shell's Direction |
| 12173s | yeah especially if you save him up and |
| 12175s | hit that triple oh yeah |
| 12179s | which is just less gold than if you had |
| 12182s | got them all individually and sold them |
| 12184s | after a loss |
| 12189s | if that's your objective is gold |
| 12194s | sliders here on Vash beasts sure uh does |
| 12199s | have the quest by nine minions star of |
| 12201s | your turn get two random beasts so the |
| 12203s | mama bear will start cooking fairly |
| 12205s | quickly |
| 12206s | for an Echo looking for direction picks |
| 12208s | up a theater |
| 12211s | those currently have Divine Shields |
| 12213s | going does have the ability to uh hear a |
| 12216s | power into more of those in the future |
| 12218s | as well of course being on Tavern five |
| 12219s | already |
| 12221s | I do like this idea with galacrons right |
| 12223s | pick a six drop that gets better if you |
| 12225s | find more copies of it and theater |
| 12227s | definitely fits that bill because you |
| 12228s | can go fishing for six stars basically |
| 12230s | every single turn does have victim |
| 12232s | Spectra as well which can also help to |
| 12234s | duplicate those win conditions so I like |
| 12236s | this idea |
| 12239s | yeah a lot of potential being built up |
| 12242s | for Karen Echo just needs to |
| 12245s | start hitting |
| 12248s | mechano tank though is uh |
| 12251s | could make things a little bit awkward |
| 12253s | with the victim Specter but yeah it's |
| 12255s | shooting the theater next yep there you |
| 12257s | go so they're talking about the dust and |
| 12260s | it's gonna be a pop-up now not the ideal |
| 12263s | outcome has to be said for current Echo |
| 12265s | but still a good amount of gold to work |
| 12267s | with for the following turn |
| 12272s | lots of Mama Bear players that we are |
| 12274s | seeing so far too and potentially three |
| 12277s | I'm not sure if we saw if the third |
| 12279s | player actually ended up with the mama |
| 12280s | bear but I'm presuming they did |
| 12286s | yup confirmed that they did from Lorinda |
| 12288s | thank you very much |
| 12302s | oh |
| 12309s | it's not really a new it's not really a |
| 12311s | lead Frogger type board |
| 12313s | Mama Bear all right pumpada |
| 12317s | I put in the quest it is gonna be |
| 12319s | wisterball |
| 12324s | well hold on to your butts we've got a |
| 12326s | wisdom ball game on our hands |
| 12329s | we have mentioned it for a while this is |
| 12330s | one of our puzzle box questions again if |
| 12332s | you are just joining us if you haven't |
| 12334s | seen any of the last couple of Lobby |
| 12335s | Legends up until this point and if you |
| 12337s | are watching on Twitch you might just |
| 12339s | notice a little extension overlay |
| 12341s | hanging around in your video player with |
| 12343s | which you can play a variety of mini |
| 12345s | games uh one of which being puzzle box |
| 12347s | where you can answer a few little trivia |
| 12349s | questions basically yes or no uh |
| 12352s | questions based on anything you think |
| 12354s | will happen during the day and one of |
| 12356s | those is will a player win with wisdom |
| 12359s | ball which so far has not happened in |
| 12361s | our first three games of the day it was |
| 12363s | only picked once |
| 12365s | and taru |
| 12368s | and you got second |
| 12370s | it was close |
| 12373s | [Applause] |
| 12376s | uh Lorinda is now pointing out that |
| 12378s | gongi now also has a mumbbell on the |
| 12381s | board which means four of our players |
| 12383s | currently have a mama bear on their |
| 12385s | board |
| 12387s | I Kingdom for a test in this game |
| 12389s | honestly |
| 12396s | this is gonna be quite though ah |
| 12400s | actually |
| 12402s | not as Hefty of the loss as I thought |
| 12404s | but it's still a hefty loss |
| 12407s | not quite okay yeah yeah make a |
| 12411s | difference got capped either way |
| 12413s | yep running out of Health I was a kid |
| 12416s | all the way down to 12 L2 on the zarella |
| 12422s | yeah again zarella just a hero that has |
| 12424s | completely fallen off a cliff for me but |
| 12426s | it has been picked almost every game in |
| 12429s | this tournament so maybe my results are |
| 12432s | just an outlier and I'm overreacting to |
| 12433s | it hard to know but so far kid not |
| 12436s | really performing |
| 12438s | mirrored board |
| 12441s | ugh |
| 12443s | none of those |
| 12446s | what are those |
| 12453s | did you just take |
| 12455s | Oni and then find a Hoggard somehow you |
| 12458s | do have wisdom balls so hogar kind of |
| 12461s | immediately wins the game if you can |
| 12462s | stabilize but I think that's probably |
| 12463s | way too ambitious at 17 health |
| 12468s | well partner needs to find direction |
| 12469s | very quickly |
| 12472s | and we see here geobugi |
| 12475s | Oh Hang on we're back in five drops |
| 12478s | again |
| 12479s | a lot of garbage |
| 12483s | at least Baron is something like iron is |
| 12487s | something gives you a leapfrog a line to |
| 12489s | play towards yeah gives you some form of |
| 12491s | Direction |
| 12492s | and one more try |
| 12499s | the glow scores okay fine my Champion |
| 12502s | jinx |
| 12504s | is over |
| 12509s | that's the seven patient Scout board |
| 12513s | well kid who is in the danger zone right |
| 12516s | now looks to be living this one as far |
| 12520s | as I can see unless I am underestimating |
| 12522s | the power of Croc which you know can |
| 12525s | happen underestimate the Croc at your |
| 12527s | peril it is a monster of a card |
| 12532s | like it from here |
| 12536s | nope |
| 12538s | oh geez |
| 12543s | oh the sequencing as well with the |
| 12546s | second here okay taking out the four cap |
| 12548s | in the end is a very big deal but still |
| 12550s | gonna be damage capped regardless I |
| 12551s | believe yep |
| 12553s | 15 either way which means pompata is now |
| 12556s | the player in immense danger finding |
| 12559s | himself down at 2hp absolutely needs to |
| 12562s | find something to happen with that |
| 12563s | wisdom ball on this turn uh Lorinda if |
| 12566s | you please go back to pompata and see if |
| 12568s | you can find some way to rescue this on |
| 12570s | the last turn with that wisdom ball |
| 12573s | okay good start tripling again |
| 12577s | hey mama bear that's what everyone else |
| 12580s | is doing oh you can't beat him join them |
| 12586s | yeah sticks out on the board before |
| 12588s | rolling number one most important thing |
| 12589s | to remember when you are dealing with |
| 12591s | wisdom balls see that dupe roll is the |
| 12593s | one that you want it is the best one in |
| 12596s | almost every circumstance so make sure |
| 12598s | you curate your board into what you |
| 12600s | would like to see if you do hit that |
| 12601s | mirror roll |
| 12604s | foreign |
| 12606s | ER just hates all of these fives this |
| 12609s | game yeah |
| 12611s | yeah how many fives has he looked at |
| 12614s | like 11 or 12 five drops in total and |
| 12617s | just like the mama bear was the only one |
| 12619s | that's really done anything |
| 12621s | yeah and even then mama bear has buffed |
| 12624s | a single cave Hydra I mean it's gonna be |
| 12627s | big because of the Crocs |
| 12629s | I suppose that's unfair actually the |
| 12631s | double Croc uh is doing a lot of work |
| 12633s | it's just in comparison to like the full |
| 12635s | Mama Bear boards that everyone else has |
| 12637s | it's just not really getting there at |
| 12639s | the moment yeah it's really not |
| 12642s | um we've seen a couple other players |
| 12643s | start to take a considerable amount of |
| 12645s | damage current sliders both fallen down |
| 12647s | the standings quite substantially |
| 12649s | we got a quick look at uh Geo Boogie |
| 12654s | um and looked like was going for some |
| 12656s | form of of uh leapers |
| 12659s | but it also had a trickster mixed in |
| 12664s | there with the baron so uh ended the |
| 12667s | turn we saw with a giant like 130 130 |
| 12671s | Cape Hydra which was |
| 12674s | uh quite large quite substantial |
| 12680s | substantially beefed |
| 12682s | in these Divine shields resets on the |
| 12685s | deflectos are looking kinda Savage in |
| 12688s | this spot I do like the little Gambit |
| 12690s | that pompata has gone for with the Crocs |
| 12693s | up front and then the Divine Shield |
| 12695s | cleave in the back probably does give |
| 12697s | him the best chance of being able to |
| 12698s | take this one down but as far as I can |
| 12700s | see it that is an impossible position |
| 12702s | from pampata to now come back from and |
| 12705s | that means he is going down in eighth |
| 12707s | place in our first game unless there is |
| 12710s | a tie there is a tie okay 7.5 in the end |
| 12714s | for pompata as a spoilers kid is going |
| 12717s | to bite the dust here as well yep |
| 12721s | there you go Geo booty Spore that I was |
| 12723s | just talking about once again |
| 12725s | ah cave Hydra doesn't even well I came |
| 12727s | into play earlier on uh just about the |
| 12729s | damage on it but uh the golden Baron |
| 12735s | because that's not from any uh Quest |
| 12737s | reward because the question was red hand |
| 12739s | so that's just a natural golden Baron |
| 12747s | okay well |
| 12752s | this is a mama bear board |
| 12757s | technically yes |
| 12771s | gliders of course with the lady Vash is |
| 12772s | trying to lean into a theater a little |
| 12774s | bit but I think yeah has decided that |
| 12776s | that dream is probably dead here and |
| 12778s | he's gonna get out of them sharpish uh |
| 12781s | you can just use that hero power to go |
| 12782s | fishing for the glow scale spellcraft to |
| 12785s | try and get some permanent Divine |
| 12786s | Shields across your board if you can |
| 12788s | actually find a Natural Glow scale |
| 12790s | that's kind of the dream and just keep |
| 12792s | it on your board for a turn or two and |
| 12793s | have it dumping those Divine Shields |
| 12795s | into your hand yeah |
| 12800s | and I mean it's a lot of stats |
| 12803s | on the board that Mama Bear especially |
| 12805s | with Divine shield and reborn should be |
| 12807s | able to do some work with all these uh B |
| 12810s | summons plus the Croc activations The |
| 12812s | Avenge Activation so |
| 12815s | the sneaky amount of stats |
| 12825s | but gonna be going up against gongi who |
| 12827s | had a really powerful |
| 12830s | uh opening uh well quote unquote opening |
| 12834s | my ab opening |
| 12837s | which is all right I got a good opening |
| 12838s | but now I have to wait for him to come |
| 12840s | and wish it |
| 12843s | double Mama reborn Crush against |
| 12848s | Bingo Mama on the other side and the |
| 12850s | board space not really working out there |
| 12853s | in the end |
| 12854s | a little bit ugly on the trade with the |
| 12856s | crush but it is now going to come back |
| 12857s | with reborn and get to attack again |
| 12866s | foreign |
| 12878s | yeah especially with that attack |
| 12888s | oh oh the 15 the 15. |
| 12892s | oh how dare you take these |
| 12895s | oh those last few trades everything from |
| 12898s | attacking into the high main instead of |
| 12900s | every other Target onwards was the exact |
| 12903s | worst attack possible to end up taking |
| 12905s | 15 damage in that spot really really bad |
| 12908s | luck |
| 12909s | yeah raise them all falls as well |
| 12912s | the hands of geobugi so |
| 12915s | uh starting to get to the bottom of this |
| 12917s | Lobby |
| 12918s | or this game already |
| 12922s | this is a very powerful porn oh my |
| 12924s | goodness |
| 12929s | oh geez |
| 12932s | bear off's blessing |
| 12936s | okay this is good yeah this is a pretty |
| 12939s | good one this is like nearly impossible |
| 12941s | to evaluate yeah deflecto up first into |
| 12945s | taunted Leroy which is a 50 50 a huge 50 |
| 12948s | 50 as to whether this wins or loses and |
| 12950s | then Divine Shields against re-summons |
| 12953s | from mechs and death rattles and Crush |
| 12956s | really close |
| 12958s | I would not be surprised if this is like |
| 12960s | 41 to 59 largely defined on where that |
| 12964s | first deflector attack goes into the |
| 12965s | Leroy or not |
| 12972s | um |
| 12977s | uh what are we on |
| 12979s | E4 okay oh yeah |
| 12988s | oh we picked different all right I'm |
| 12992s | pretty sure we are just flipping a coin |
| 12993s | on this Leroy Leroy attacks |
| 12995s | [Music] |
| 12998s | disaster |
| 13005s | a lot of attacks to chew through the |
| 13007s | Divine shields on the right hand side |
| 13008s | though |
| 13012s | tack lines up quite nicely though yes |
| 13014s | that one does not light up very nice |
| 13016s | nicely but we'll get the extra Divine |
| 13019s | Shield I don't know I think uh solo |
| 13020s | still might have it |
| 13022s | yes still perhaps no no additional reset |
| 13026s | although this brings back a deflecto now |
| 13028s | armor bear goes down |
| 13031s | so unless this Crush goes absolutely ham |
| 13034s | from here which it might well still do |
| 13038s | yup that's gonna be a win the 18th yep |
| 13041s | yep so very close in the end oh oh I I |
| 13046s | feel like I picked the favored player |
| 13048s | which is all I can do in that position |
| 13050s | but all right well played |
| 13053s | I need all the points I can get Sato I |
| 13056s | think we both know that yep |
| 13060s | so if uh if gongy had gone first then |
| 13063s | obviously the Leroy does not hit the |
| 13065s | deflecto ever it just goes into one of |
| 13067s | the taunts on the right hand side which |
| 13068s | may have still been good it was still a |
| 13069s | good outcome killing a Divine short but |
| 13071s | I think the deflector was probably |
| 13072s | better and then even uh with solar going |
| 13075s | first the deflecto could have gone into |
| 13078s | the other torn instead so I feel like |
| 13080s | that was a favored fight for the mechs |
| 13082s | but no way of knowing for sure yeah |
| 13087s | foreign |
| 13093s | space to really cash this out it's |
| 13096s | double Mama getting buffed so |
| 13099s | I feel like making a board space to make |
| 13101s | this happen |
| 13103s | yeah ball the minions out |
| 13105s | yeah yeah I'm I'm fine with this |
| 13108s | that ball minions has not been scaling |
| 13110s | at all I mean it could be better later |
| 13112s | for uh |
| 13117s | what it's just absolute garbage six |
| 13119s | drops just since the introduction of |
| 13121s | walking four into the game I feel like |
| 13123s | those six drop discovers that are just |
| 13125s | nothing like literally nothing just come |
| 13128s | up way too often |
| 13131s | not to say walking Fork can't be played |
| 13132s | in some situations but it's something |
| 13134s | that you have to be built into already |
| 13136s | right like it's rare that you triple |
| 13138s | into a six and go oh a fort perfect I |
| 13141s | mean Apparition duplicates out of Fort |
| 13143s | for like four Turks yeah true |
| 13147s | yeah I think they added Uther and then |
| 13149s | the the number of outright whiffs on |
| 13152s | tripling into a six went down because |
| 13154s | you know if you didn't hit the |
| 13156s | synergistic minion you wanted you maybe |
| 13158s | probably hit a mantid or an Uther and |
| 13160s | both of those can be useful in in |
| 13162s | various situations and then they added |
| 13164s | in fought and now it's suddenly just |
| 13165s | like okay now now we're just getting |
| 13167s | like zap fought over and over again on |
| 13169s | every triple inter so it's yeah |
| 13174s | laughs |
| 13176s | this does not look like enough numbers |
| 13184s | I mean even if the the leaps had stopped |
| 13186s | there it would still be like |
| 13191s | just barely enough numbers |
| 13195s | even if the baron just like died right |
| 13197s | now just died yeah it still wouldn't be |
| 13200s | enough |
| 13201s | just stack Overflow deletes itself from |
| 13204s | the board carry on |
| 13206s | wait |
| 13208s | come on I was gonna say doubly right but |
| 13210s | then I forgot that there's gonna be the |
| 13212s | uh |
| 13213s | the hyena spawning from the high main as |
| 13215s | well oh my goodness yep still The Rat |
| 13217s | Pack death row that can go off as well |
| 13219s | with uh Baron being shielded not |
| 13221s | unlikely to occur and |
| 13224s | this is just a ridiculous amount of |
| 13226s | stats not gonna be 25 though |
| 13230s | got the Divine shoot off the baron |
| 13232s | though that's a wind |
| 13234s | it's in the most minor way possible yes |
| 13237s | still a win nonetheless |
| 13240s | crisp |
| 13242s | 18. |
| 13244s | and uh |
| 13247s | yes not fall to the ghost I remember |
| 13250s | last time we looked at this and it was |
| 13252s | like ah one theater with the potential |
| 13254s | to get more from victim Specter and from |
| 13256s | galicron to hero power uh he now has |
| 13258s | four of them perfect |
| 13260s | perfect |
| 13264s | it's good enough |
| 13265s | just a handful of neutral minions yeah |
| 13268s | well not full but there's enough |
| 13275s | parts of this victim Specter cards go |
| 13278s | yeah just keeping the taunts in the same |
| 13280s | place okay |
| 13281s | there's always a debate I don't think |
| 13283s | it's much of a debate but it's a debate |
| 13284s | that some people might have with you |
| 13286s | where if you keep hitting those uh |
| 13288s | taught minions because they're neutrals |
| 13289s | you buy them all anyway you can spread |
| 13291s | the taunts around because then if you |
| 13293s | find strong shell scavenger you're you |
| 13295s | that's adding a lot more stats to the |
| 13297s | board if you have multiple taunts |
| 13298s | everywhere but I think the downside of |
| 13300s | not being able to control attacks from |
| 13302s | Leroy's poison minions and particularly |
| 13304s | Cleaves in this Lobby right with uh |
| 13307s | beasts and mechs both available if you |
| 13309s | torn everything you are just asking to |
| 13312s | play against the person with a 200 200 |
| 13314s | cleave on the other side of the board |
| 13315s | and then you just lose right |
| 13317s | a limiting number of taunts is a good |
| 13320s | way to go about it |
| 13328s | and so the end game begins all of these |
| 13331s | Mama Bear Gamers that we have seen |
| 13333s | throughout the mid game are slowly |
| 13336s | transitioning out of a lot of this uh |
| 13339s | scaling or not scaling but all of this |
| 13341s | Tempo stuff that they've had up until |
| 13343s | this point starting to transition into |
| 13344s | Leroy's and poisonous minions but you |
| 13347s | can see with the way that panned out |
| 13349s | once the leroys and poisons all |
| 13351s | interacted with each other there is a |
| 13353s | very clear winner with the rest of this |
| 13354s | unless unless exactly that happens at |
| 13359s | least one more time |
| 13363s | okay well they're they're hitting all |
| 13365s | the other stuff first so yeah it's gonna |
| 13367s | need to be double Leroy to survive it's |
| 13370s | not the believer |
| 13373s | see there though look at that yeah |
| 13374s | pretty good yeah not bad but don't you |
| 13379s | will fall |
| 13380s | third place though very respectable |
| 13383s | and uh current Echo continues to scale |
| 13386s | up I don't remember what the oh is a pup |
| 13387s | bot right |
| 13388s | uh from the victim Specter I believe |
| 13390s | that died |
| 13392s | uh last see |
| 13395s | yep |
| 13399s | just a little pop |
| 13403s | all right so we have Jubilee who's |
| 13406s | playing the uh golden Baron leap |
| 13409s | Froggers versus current Neko |
| 13413s | um with just raw stats but I don't know |
| 13416s | if it's enough stats needs to I guess |
| 13419s | has to wipe me |
| 13420s | there it is |
| 13422s | double light a double white Mane now |
| 13425s | rolled the fours looking for the five |
| 13428s | specifically does find the second white |
| 13430s | man the problem with this is |
| 13432s | uh is that you you guarantee or where |
| 13436s | you you increase your chances of |
| 13438s | actually giving the baron torn but you |
| 13440s | guarantee that the baron is not the only |
| 13442s | thing you're giving taunt to right so |
| 13444s | you can still have this scenario where |
| 13446s | your first attack just goes into nothing |
| 13449s | just something random that you've |
| 13451s | taunted and then your second attack goes |
| 13452s | into the Rat Pack that they've taunted |
| 13454s | and then your third attack goes into the |
| 13456s | torn that comes out of the Rat Pack and |
| 13458s | then by that point you've lost anyway |
| 13459s | right because there's just too many |
| 13461s | death rails duplicating all over the |
| 13463s | place so this is far from a guaranteed |
| 13466s | win |
| 13470s | it looks like he might be slimming down |
| 13472s | the board space uh this way if you play |
| 13476s | one less minion than your opponents for |
| 13478s | example you'll actually end up taunting |
| 13479s | four things with the white man I like |
| 13483s | this small torn up front as well to |
| 13485s | delay yeah this is really really clever |
| 13487s | small taunt up front to delay the leaps |
| 13490s | from activating because I believe this |
| 13492s | is a ritual dagger leapfroggers on the |
| 13494s | other side right so the minions are huge |
| 13496s | Baron is massive did that annoyer module |
| 13500s | is going to delay the time it takes them |
| 13502s | to go off and allow enough time for |
| 13505s | these attacks to perhaps go into that |
| 13506s | Baron and deny it I think is the best |
| 13508s | chance that uh kuraneku has yeah |
| 13512s | we'll see how it plays out |
| 13522s | third |
| 13527s | wait so how do these attacks now work |
| 13530s | out there's reborn on the Frog so now |
| 13532s | this attacks in and dies the Frog |
| 13534s | attacks and then this attacks into |
| 13536s | something that spreads frogs already |
| 13539s | yes Yep this is not looking pretty |
| 13543s | nope |
| 13547s | Yep this attack spreads more frogs the |
| 13549s | baron has Divine Shields so it attacks |
| 13550s | and survives and now the next attack is |
| 13553s | just going to be spreading more frogs as |
| 13555s | well |
| 13556s | yeah really interesting battle there in |
| 13558s | the late game |
| 13559s | uh also relevant for puzzle box by the |
| 13561s | way because this uh White main strategy |
| 13563s | where you go minion down to increase the |
| 13565s | number of taunts is another common way |
| 13567s | that a player can win without having a |
| 13569s | full board which is one of the puzzle |
| 13570s | box questions |
| 13572s | but not looking like it's going to work |
| 13573s | out super relevant here |
| 13577s | nope |
| 13579s | nope does the Barons survive though but |
| 13581s | yeah that's Aaron needs to survive for |
| 13584s | this to be lethal |
| 13587s | fact I think |
| 13589s | depending on how big these now get okay |
| 13592s | they are big enough to cover so this |
| 13594s | will be exactly if the baron doesn't die |
| 13596s | and the baron doesn't die five plus five |
| 13599s | plus one plus one is going to be the 12 |
| 13602s | needed |
| 13604s | and that's gonna be game one |
| 13606s | yeah very nicely done by June Boogie |
| 13609s | there it's |
| 13611s | oh you always think when you're in that |
| 13613s | scenario like oh my goodness I can't put |
| 13615s | my bearing up fast because if I don't |
| 13616s | get the spreads quick enough and it |
| 13618s | attacks then I'm just not gonna have the |
| 13621s | stats but it had Divine Shield that was |
| 13623s | the big Difference Maker right afford |
| 13625s | him the opportunity to be able to put it |
| 13628s | really far up in the attack sequence |
| 13630s | and uh still not risk uh it going down |
| 13634s | understanding what the the loss |
| 13636s | conditions were |
| 13637s | not for himself in that scenario so very |
| 13639s | nice uh little game there and uh it's |
| 13643s | refreshing to not see uh murlocs once |
| 13645s | again |
| 13646s | yeah for sure uh very very interesting |
| 13649s | final fight indeed I think specifically |
| 13651s | multiple white Mains was something that |
| 13653s | would have been considered there with |
| 13655s | that positioning as you correctly point |
| 13656s | out that Divine Shield gave so much |
| 13658s | luxury but just deliberately throwing |
| 13662s | all of the the death rattle the |
| 13664s | re-summons at the end so they would all |
| 13667s | end up getting taunted it guaranteed |
| 13669s | that even after the baron Divine shield |
| 13671s | attack happened that then the baron was |
| 13675s | then safe because all of the taunts that |
| 13677s | your opponent has made on the right hand |
| 13679s | side are the Minions that you want to |
| 13681s | die because they're the ones with the |
| 13682s | re-summons that will then duplicate all |
| 13684s | the frogs so the earliest possible point |
| 13687s | they could have got through to your |
| 13688s | Baron is already after you know eight |
| 13691s | nine ten individual instances of the |
| 13693s | Frog death rattle have gone off and then |
| 13694s | obviously that's multiplicatively |
| 13696s | applied to Absolute nonsense with golden |
| 13698s | Baron down the line so a good attempt |
| 13701s | from the gallacron but not good enough |
| 13703s | in the end you see what our game one |
| 13705s | table looks like and for those of you |
| 13707s | keeping track at home my fantasy team |
| 13710s | for this group is kid pompatter and |
| 13712s | Sliders |
| 13713s | it's not gone well |
| 13717s | um |
| 13719s | was it slows |
| 13723s | yes I believe so |
| 13727s | yeah you're right sorry I thought it was |
| 13728s | reasonable for some reason oh no reason |
| 13730s | why was your bandwagon pick |
| 13731s | that's right in this game okay |
| 13736s | well I'm not gonna mention my fantasy |
| 13739s | team because I don't want to jinx it |
| 13742s | The Comeback might be on though TJ this |
| 13744s | is a great start for Lobby B for you it |
| 13746s | is it is got to keep it up though I I |
| 13750s | mean it's not a great start I'm a kid at |
| 13752s | my fantasy team |
| 13753s | it didn't do so well so I'm struggling |
| 13756s | I'm really struggling |
| 13757s | what do you have to say |
| 13759s | and trying not to my fingers are crossed |
| 13762s | underneath |
| 13762s | [Music] |
| 13764s | trying to make sure that uh |
| 13766s | I keep this uh this streak going |
| 13769s | um but we're cruising along four out of |
| 13771s | six games done on the day and uh which |
| 13775s | means we got two more left if you're as |
| 13778s | good at mathematics as I am but before |
| 13781s | we jump into the second game of Lobby B |
| 13783s | we are gonna have to go to a quick break |
| 13784s | but don't go anywhere more Lobby Legends |
| 13786s | action right after this |

| 13989s | welcome back to Hearthstone |
| 13990s | Battlegrounds Lobby Legends I'm TJ |
| 13993s | joined by saddle and uh we got another |
| 13996s | game on our hands in just a few moments |
| 13998s | so I'll game two Lobby B |
| 14000s | and I'm excited for this one I feel like |
| 14003s | we've had some uh some good games today |
| 14006s | um I don't think we've seen anything too |
| 14008s | crazy but we've seen a lot of solid |
| 14010s | technical play uh in the later turns oh |
| 14014s | what |
| 14015s | Rebecca was so far down last week really |
| 14019s | not last week last tournament yeah last |
| 14021s | tournament but I guess because this is |
| 14024s | the dark horse group |
| 14026s | and then recency bias being a player |
| 14028s | that they recognized from the last |
| 14029s | tournament yeah that makes sense yeah it |
| 14032s | does make sense yeah |
| 14034s | um so ah cool that's nice though I'd |
| 14037s | like to see it curl knuckle fans rising |
| 14040s | up and uh you know what the |
| 14043s | winner of the first game of this Lobby |
| 14046s | all the way down at the bottom of |
| 14049s | fantasy team pick percentage |
| 14052s | and it's a player with a very |
| 14055s | interesting story |
| 14057s | um |
| 14058s | qualified I believe or at least hit a |
| 14062s | qualified percentage on a free-to-play |
| 14063s | account like without the season pass |
| 14064s | meaning two Heroes as far as I |
| 14067s | understand it |
| 14068s | um and I believe even the name uh our |
| 14070s | pronunciation of it is horrible by the |
| 14073s | way but uh actually pronounced properly |
| 14075s | in Korean I think it just means turtle |
| 14076s | or tortoise and it's just one of the |
| 14079s | auto-generated names that you can get on |
| 14080s | a blizzard account |
| 14082s | so like this is this is a free-to-play |
| 14085s | warrior that we are dealing with right |
| 14086s | now who's absolutely stampeding all the |
| 14089s | way through to this point and has uh now |
| 14091s | picked up a Lobby win on the big stage |
| 14093s | as well so hats off yeah and look like a |
| 14096s | fantastic game specifically on those uh |
| 14099s | last couple turns uh from |
| 14102s | probably butchering the name completely |
| 14106s | now that you told me it's an actual word |
| 14108s | I I think I think Boogie is correct but |
| 14111s | I think the first setup was like yo or |
| 14112s | something as opposed to Geo but I'm not |
| 14114s | I'm not gonna try like my my career in |
| 14116s | pronunciation is not there you are |
| 14118s | welcome to try and look it up and get |
| 14120s | the confirmation if you want I can see |
| 14122s | it already I know the TJ starts where |
| 14124s | he's Googling things and that's exactly |
| 14126s | what we're looking at right now yeah I'm |
| 14128s | Googling it but I'm not even gonna begin |
| 14130s | to try nope I just like to call them Geo |
| 14134s | Boogie because it makes me think of like |
| 14138s | yeah it's what it's what geologists do |
| 14141s | at the party after they after they've |
| 14143s | finished a long hard day of looking at |
| 14145s | rocks and they just want to unwind you |
| 14147s | know kick off their shoes let down their |
| 14148s | hair they just do the Geo books yeah |
| 14151s | exactly yeah |
| 14153s | [Music] |
| 14155s | that's how they uh that's how they when |
| 14157s | they're studying volcanoes that's how |
| 14159s | they teach them to uh jump from |
| 14162s | Bolton Rock to molten rock |
| 14165s | they do the Geo Boogie |
| 14167s | [Music] |
| 14172s | well I'm gonna say I'm done so oh okay |
| 14174s | sorry I thought I thought it was gonna |
| 14175s | be a follow-up to that but yes hey |
| 14177s | follow it that's it a very good start |
| 14179s | and a very good name for geo Boogie |
| 14181s | indeed but certainly the likes of Caden |
| 14184s | pompata who died in a tie for seventh |
| 14187s | and eighth uh we talked a little bit |
| 14190s | about how generally the theme of this |
| 14192s | group is players that we haven't seen or |
| 14194s | players that we have seen briefly |
| 14197s | because they haven't had great |
| 14198s | performances when they've shown up and |
| 14200s | kid and pompata kind of fall into that |
| 14203s | latter group |
| 14205s | um and that's the kind of thing that can |
| 14206s | get overwhelming fairly quickly I would |
| 14209s | say if you start to get bad performances |
| 14210s | all over again |
| 14212s | uh so here we are looking at our |
| 14215s | geologist slash dancer slash turtle |
| 14218s | going with the tickets choice this time |
| 14221s | around which is fascinating to me |
| 14225s | because I would ascribe tickets to be a |
| 14229s | feast or famine type hero like a first |
| 14231s | or last type hero in very simple terms |
| 14233s | and that's not really what jeer Boogie |
| 14237s | needs right now right |
| 14239s | uh I guess what like ozomat would |
| 14242s | probably be the safe choice in that |
| 14244s | selection |
| 14245s | oh look at some stats real quick |
| 14248s | is what it is I like the ticket is |
| 14251s | all right we're going to start off with |
| 14252s | sliders here who's on the sir Finley |
| 14255s | ooh interesting probably brucan out of |
| 14259s | these three |
| 14262s | well that would be my pick yep |
| 14267s | oh yeah |
| 14270s | oh yeah |
| 14272s | I mean it's a shame that |
| 14274s | it it can't get much |
| 14277s | can't get attacked much on these early |
| 14280s | terms turns |
| 14282s | oh my gosh 6 a.m is hitting me hard |
| 14289s | oh look it's gonna get two |
| 14295s | nope only one |
| 14300s | looking at the rest |
| 14302s | are going for cookie we have a master |
| 14304s | win from Kid |
| 14309s | another Sneed raise them all picking |
| 14311s | yawg Jag Saron |
| 14315s | razor Mall had a |
| 14318s | not that great of a finish I believe it |
| 14320s | was what like a tie for sixth |
| 14324s | in the previous game |
| 14327s | which means should be shooting for a |
| 14330s | pretty high finish yeah not necessarily |
| 14333s | known for those crazy high finishes but |
| 14335s | does have a lot of potential for early |
| 14336s | tempo |
| 14337s | could smooth out the leveling curve |
| 14339s | quite a bit |
| 14343s | I was having just checked it out |
| 14345s | uh my representation of tickets does not |
| 14348s | appear to be accurate it is a fairly |
| 14351s | flat curve overall in terms of average |
| 14355s | Place well 4.6 placement on average but |
| 14357s | there's no like huge spike in first |
| 14359s | second seventh and eighth as I was |
| 14361s | describing it does seem to be a fairly |
| 14363s | flat curve hero in terms of getting |
| 14364s | third fourth fifth sixth uh so sure I |
| 14367s | take it all back this seems fine |
| 14371s | that was an emotional rollercoaster |
| 14373s | subtle it was |
| 14387s | oh TJ's favorite thing in the entire |
| 14390s | world |
| 14392s | foreign |
| 14393s | Sensei every time |
| 14397s | you're just playing a 2-2 this time I |
| 14399s | mean what you're gonna play a three |
| 14401s | three or a three one yeah true I mean |
| 14404s | probably the answer is you're not |
| 14405s | playing any of them this time because |
| 14406s | there's not really any point and you |
| 14408s | just hold it for next turn for the quest |
| 14410s | yeah because regardless you're not |
| 14412s | you're not winning the fight no matter |
| 14413s | what you do here funnily enough |
| 14415s | geomancer actually has ticks the most |
| 14417s | like Quest boxes yeah that is true |
| 14420s | Battle Cry and quilbore |
| 14422s | um but raw power it's the brute uh so |
| 14429s | this goes with raw power |
| 14431s | kind of have to honestly if you go three |
| 14433s | on three especially with the Zero armor |
| 14436s | Arrow you have to find some power |
| 14440s | somewhere |
| 14449s | uh secret stone is interesting with |
| 14452s | cookie but ten dragons or demons is just |
| 14457s | brutal |
| 14459s | absolutely not |
| 14461s | are you joking |
| 14464s | it's got to be Smoking Gun the other two |
| 14466s | are just almost impossible to complete |
| 14468s | yeah |
| 14471s | you roll sell this okay uh bronze Warden |
| 14474s | is a decent pickup here |
| 14477s | probably still even though it's a Divine |
| 14479s | Shield minion you're probably not uh |
| 14481s | using the other blood gem save that for |
| 14483s | next turn in case the uh likelihood that |
| 14485s | you don't find another Blood gem for the |
| 14487s | following turn comes up |
| 14488s | ah God such a shame too because secret |
| 14490s | Sandstone is just |
| 14494s | so good |
| 14497s | with any hero that has a hero power that |
| 14501s | discovers obviously cookie is not as |
| 14503s | good as |
| 14505s | um |
| 14506s | Elise scabs queen of sharks scabs yeah |
| 14512s | but you know once every three turrets |
| 14515s | you get two copies of something |
| 14517s | okay took a three on three curve from |
| 14519s | jabugi |
| 14523s | who has the initial prize in hands and |
| 14526s | Neil said it earlier don't blame it on |
| 14528s | the Geo boogie |
| 14530s | that's quite good |
| 14533s | big fan of that |
| 14537s | four three two one |
| 14541s | and um |
| 14543s | no it's not not until the end of combat |
| 14547s | so uh TJ did not get a bandwagon pick |
| 14550s | for this good to know |
| 14554s | no it's not till the end of combat it |
| 14556s | ends |
| 14558s | unbelievable |
| 14564s | scammed |
| 14566s | utterly scam it's not like I would pick |
| 14568s | it correct anyway yeah true |
| 14572s | I'm starting to get slightly concerned |
| 14574s | about how good your game one of this |
| 14575s | Lobby was though |
| 14577s | yeah you better be concerned I am I just |
| 14580s | said I am yeah you better be I mean I am |
| 14583s | though |
| 14584s | I know and you better be okay well then |
| 14587s | we agree |
| 14589s | all right we have just a two |
| 14592s | the double trickster board |
| 14602s | whiplash |
| 14610s | now that's a shop that is a shop |
| 14614s | now I want to get rid of this sunbaking |
| 14616s | relaxer I think |
| 14617s | actually you know what |
| 14619s | let me get rid of this is actually one |
| 14621s | of the better ones because of the curve |
| 14622s | next turn you buy buy sell and have six |
| 14625s | gold left |
| 14626s | what if you just get rid of the deflect |
| 14628s | I bought because it's got a menace death |
| 14630s | rattle on it and you lean full body into |
| 14633s | trickster parrot |
| 14637s | eh oh |
| 14641s | you just uh hero power the deflector bot |
| 14644s | and just nail it |
| 14647s | yeah |
| 14649s | it sounds like the best play to me |
| 14655s | oh really re-freezes The Alley Cat at |
| 14658s | the end of that time interesting yeah |
| 14661s | well like I said the uneven amount of |
| 14662s | gold right eight gold what do you want |
| 14664s | to have |
| 14665s | sure yeah okay I see it fine |
| 14679s | foreign |
| 14684s | Lorinda pedantically pointing out that |
| 14686s | eight is quite literally an even amount |
| 14688s | of gold and not an uneven amount of gold |
| 14690s | but we all knew what you meant even I |
| 14692s | was not going to pull you up on that one |
| 14694s | take a Neil but yeah so what this means |
| 14697s | now is I imagine this is by alicat |
| 14700s | freeze and level no he is actually going |
| 14703s | to go for it right now I imagine the |
| 14704s | damage being taken probably turned him |
| 14706s | off but yeah the Alley Cat freeze |
| 14708s | allowed options right because what you |
| 14710s | could have done is bought the Alley Cat |
| 14712s | leveled and Frozen again and then had |
| 14714s | two gold with the Alley Cat that you |
| 14716s | could sell for the next turn for |
| 14717s | additional flexibility which did make a |
| 14720s | lot of sense but uh is just deciding |
| 14724s | that uh nope he needs to start going for |
| 14726s | something |
| 14729s | foreign |
| 14733s | oh |
| 14738s | okay fine |
| 14744s | got a bird buddy |
| 14750s | huh |
| 14753s | there's another interesting board |
| 14756s | yeah baby Crush doing a lot of heavy |
| 14759s | lifting here for the sport you would |
| 14761s | think oh yeah still turns six that's a |
| 14765s | very early |
| 14767s | baby crush and that tends to absolutely |
| 14770s | destroy these types of early early mid |
| 14772s | boards so yep |
| 14774s | and uh looking at this one oh yeah |
| 14779s | sliders here on trigger six death |
| 14781s | rattles for sack |
| 14786s | which I would imagine is getting done |
| 14789s | if not hey uh it has not been done |
| 14791s | already it's already done oh he's |
| 14794s | already done now I was too busy looking |
| 14796s | at the spreadsheet indeed's been done |
| 14802s | yeah |
| 14803s | it's going to take a colossal beating |
| 14806s | here from this baby Crush board that we |
| 14808s | were just looking at on the other side |
| 14810s | okay how Master goes down |
| 14812s | is a positive might just prevent himself |
| 14815s | from getting damage captain |
| 14820s | just about |
| 14823s | saved one Health |
| 14825s | okay |
| 14839s | uh Jubilee also holding on to the uh |
| 14842s | free refreshes |
| 14846s | right until it gets a little hard time |
| 14848s | nope just kidding |
| 14851s | generally want to save it oh hello uh |
| 14854s | for a point that's relevant like you |
| 14855s | don't want to be rolling on Tavern two |
| 14858s | or three really that much I mean three |
| 14860s | with specific strategies but generally |
| 14862s | the higher you can get up into heaven |
| 14864s | before spending that the more impactful |
| 14865s | those roles are going to be so it does |
| 14867s | make sense |
| 14872s | this is four demons or dragons for |
| 14876s | another good body |
| 14878s | okay |
| 14884s | wall of minions is both a demon and a |
| 14887s | dragon |
| 14889s | but only counts for one yep |
| 14892s | also a saddle |
| 14895s | ah I'm nobody's minion TJ |
| 14900s | yes but if you were a minion you would |
| 14902s | have a minion type that's true |
| 14909s | it's like three Soul jugglers |
| 14914s | foreign |
| 14920s | oh nice okay |
| 14923s | how's the evil twin bristleback Brew |
| 14925s | inverted commas combo very common little |
| 14928s | thing that you'll see people going for |
| 14929s | in the mid game because uh versus |
| 14932s | BlackBerry does tend to lead you into |
| 14933s | positions where it's significantly |
| 14935s | bigger than every other minion on your |
| 14936s | board |
| 14939s | yeah we could be looking at another |
| 14940s | puzzle box question here |
| 14942s | um |
| 14943s | player win a game |
| 14945s | uh with not a full board and evil twin |
| 14948s | does count that's indeed |
| 14952s | so that's if raised mall is able to find |
| 14955s | a victory in this one we would |
| 14957s | almost automatically get it |
| 14960s | there's a possibility that he could just |
| 14961s | say forget the evil twin I need this |
| 14963s | specific Tech card right on |
| 14965s | yeah could but very unlikely yeah seems |
| 14969s | incredibly niche yeah I I don't think |
| 14972s | I've ever seen that happen |
| 14984s | looks like holding out here still on |
| 14987s | faulty health is gonna take on the house |
| 14989s | and greed it looks like he's gonna go up |
| 14991s | and look for the fell back next turn |
| 14994s | even after the lobby win in game one uh |
| 14998s | gilberg is still just deciding hey we're |
| 15000s | going for it two wins and I can put my |
| 15003s | feet up for game number three and just |
| 15004s | know him show up I can I can go I can go |
| 15006s | do the Geo Boogie with all my geologists |
| 15008s | they're playing game three |
| 15012s | it also has the Synergy with another |
| 15014s | hidden body |
| 15016s | holding on to the ball of minions too |
| 15019s | I can actually get two discoverers true |
| 15022s | yeah very very true |
| 15026s | foreign |
| 15045s | yeah I think so |
| 15048s | oh okay it's double bird buddy which is |
| 15051s | starting to uh |
| 15053s | out of style here real quick yeah you |
| 15056s | never underestimate the Croc you've |
| 15058s | definitely never underestimate the bird |
| 15060s | person |
| 15062s | that is a lot of Revenge not sure I love |
| 15067s | this ghast coiler positioning but |
| 15070s | there's no other real beasts like I'd |
| 15072s | like to have the gas coiler further up |
| 15074s | so that all the Death rattles from the |
| 15075s | gas coil reduce the avenge |
| 15077s | but if you're doing that which beasts |
| 15080s | are then getting buffed right there's |
| 15081s | nothing really left at that point |
| 15083s | because you want the baby Crush to |
| 15084s | attack early before it gets sniped a |
| 15087s | little bit awkward overall |
| 15092s | really good attack order though baby |
| 15094s | crush doesn't really end up doing that |
| 15096s | much but just the fact that gosh this |
| 15098s | board is weak yeah the Divine Shield |
| 15100s | gets sniped and then the undivine |
| 15104s | shielded minion based on the attack |
| 15106s | order just went straight in to the giant |
| 15108s | torn on the other side was uh was really |
| 15110s | bad news |
| 15112s | and that's it not even going to get |
| 15114s | through the main body of the gas coiler |
| 15116s | yeah this is Smoking Gun oh that is |
| 15119s | Smoking Gun okay hang on hang on uh hang |
| 15123s | on |
| 15123s | hang on pause pause pause |
| 15126s | never mind no oh that's it that's enough |
| 15129s | that's a win no it's not oh it's so |
| 15131s | close oh it was so close oh void Lord |
| 15135s | just the nine Health on the void Lord |
| 15137s | getting the double attack to go through |
| 15139s | the rat that was so very very close in |
| 15142s | the end yeah unfortunate for kuraneko |
| 15145s | after such a good start very very close |
| 15148s | though |
| 15149s | Smoking Gun coming in clutch |
| 15153s | um but that's definitely seemed like a |
| 15154s | situation where if current Echo had |
| 15156s | maybe a slightly better Quest could have |
| 15159s | transitioned into something but that |
| 15160s | board was just so weak |
| 15162s | uh it didn't really have like a super a |
| 15166s | reasonable direction to go uh it was |
| 15168s | just like uh |
| 15170s | a a giant Divine Shield taunt plus two |
| 15175s | Banner boards and that was it that was |
| 15177s | the whole thing got the ground Shaker in |
| 15179s | on the previous turn but it was only the |
| 15181s | banner boards that were buffing it so it |
| 15183s | didn't update attack by much |
| 15185s | that is not a bat |
| 15188s | it is a mounted Queen however though |
| 15190s | which as I was mentioning what last game |
| 15192s | is kind of the go-to consolation prize |
| 15194s | when you miss on the thing that you want |
| 15196s | that however as you may have noticed is |
| 15198s | a bat |
| 15202s | and despite these razor ghouls I think |
| 15204s | razigal was the reward Minion from the |
| 15207s | ghastly mask but the chalga and the Fel |
| 15211s | bat are going to be doing significantly |
| 15212s | more work here you would imagine oh my |
| 15215s | gosh oh this is oh this what a rush |
| 15221s | what a rush did you ever play siren meta |
| 15225s | TJ when when nagas had spiteful siren uh |
| 15228s | no okay if you want to see |
| 15231s | um I see numbers get bigger at end of a |
| 15233s | turn that is absolutely nothing to what |
| 15236s | siren did basically every game |
| 15244s | is it even enough |
| 15248s | it really isn't |
| 15250s | it's losing to a ghost quite badly here |
| 15254s | like really badly should really really |
| 15257s | badly okay |
| 15259s | if he'd have just like windmilled into |
| 15262s | the rat at some point that could have |
| 15264s | been an utter disaster oh yeah uh but |
| 15268s | dodged it and now the scaling uh you |
| 15271s | just AFK from here |
| 15274s | he's so far behind |
| 15280s | presumably he's just gonna roll down |
| 15283s | these elises |
| 15285s | there we go |
| 15288s | laughs |
| 15294s | gotta be amounted surely |
| 15297s | yeah you cannot lean into any more |
| 15299s | scaling than this at this point kid |
| 15301s | surely that calagos does not exist okay |
| 15305s | thank you |
| 15311s | walking four more end of turn let's get |
| 15314s | some taunts going oh I'm I'm taking the |
| 15317s | fort and I'm just holding it trying to |
| 15320s | find some sparring partners |
| 15321s | and everything else does kind of suck |
| 15323s | the the other option is just gas coiler |
| 15326s | for Tempo minion |
| 15327s | yeah |
| 15329s | going up against uh Gangi here so |
| 15336s | he I think it might just die |
| 15342s | I remember what gongi's board state is |
| 15352s | um wait do you say red hands I'm looking |
| 15354s | at ritual dagger yeah it's ritual dagger |
| 15358s | oh whoops I don't think I refresh my |
| 15361s | yeah virtual dagger with pretty big |
| 15363s | stuff |
| 15365s | yeah there's there's no way kids kids |
| 15368s | dead kid is just dead I mean it it was a |
| 15372s | rush it was a rush |
| 15375s | a lot of stats but |
| 15377s | even with like the banded Queen pick up |
| 15380s | not gonna be enough it didn't seem it |
| 15383s | was by 12 minions for a Razor Gore |
| 15386s | ghastly mask which in the circumstance |
| 15391s | this got better I mean double-mounted |
| 15393s | certainly helps a lot yes it is a decent |
| 15396s | Menagerie as well which means that the |
| 15398s | mantids are likely to get Juiced but |
| 15401s | this is double deflecto multi-reset on |
| 15404s | the other side and the deflectos are big |
| 15406s | enough to be relevant to basically every |
| 15409s | minion on the other side of the board so |
| 15411s | I'm not seeing it okay |
| 15416s | so the Bots are actually not terrible if |
| 15419s | they were like later in the sequence |
| 15421s | because they could be off to my Shields |
| 15423s | but |
| 15424s | yeah it kind of resigned back probably |
| 15427s | sees the zero percenter pop up |
| 15432s | okay zero hits into Divine Shields if |
| 15435s | there is a percentage chance this is |
| 15436s | what we're going to be looking at |
| 15443s | hello what's going on okay water last |
| 15446s | I'm confused Neil saw the future so |
| 15448s | Neil's like you guys haven't figured it |
| 15450s | out yet |
| 15451s | how did I get here where am I who's the |
| 15454s | president what day of the week |
| 15460s | all right kid does go down |
| 15463s | foreign |
| 15470s | I see the ghost has won two fights in a |
| 15474s | row is what Lorinda was showing to us I |
| 15476s | see oh there was methods to their |
| 15478s | members Ah that's such a bummer Karen |
| 15482s | Echo was on the cusp |
| 15487s | ense but a lot of times you know not |
| 15489s | indicative of the player's strengths |
| 15490s | because people see that they're fighting |
| 15492s | a ghost that died three turns ago and |
| 15493s | are and we'll make their board weaker |
| 15495s | and get a little greedy so yeah and you |
| 15497s | can kind of see what's happened here |
| 15499s | right is that your Boogie has looked at |
| 15503s | the ghost fight and gone okay well I |
| 15504s | have an option to get into some super |
| 15506s | greedy theater scaling in that case |
| 15508s | right and should still be fine to beat |
| 15509s | The Ghost and the ghost was actually a |
| 15511s | little bit bigger than anyone has been |
| 15513s | expected but this theater scaling on |
| 15515s | double ball have been of minions |
| 15517s | um kind of removes one of the downsides |
| 15520s | of Theater which is kind of feel like |
| 15523s | you have to go off on the first three |
| 15524s | minions you find dryer ends up being |
| 15526s | super duper slow but now you can just |
| 15529s | Cash Out These baller minions onto |
| 15530s | something else at any point throughout |
| 15532s | the course of the game but because of |
| 15534s | the nadina that your Boogie has as well |
| 15537s | there's a good chance that he just stays |
| 15539s | on these ball of minions for a very very |
| 15540s | long time from this point yeah |
| 15544s | oh wow a Golden Bird buddy yeah from |
| 15548s | pilford lamps |
| 15551s | had the two copies completed the quest |
| 15554s | and pompata is Off to the Races 38 |
| 15557s | health |
| 15559s | hello |
| 15560s | 38 Health pilford Labs |
| 15563s | this is terrifying it is yeah |
| 15567s | yeah |
| 15569s | let's do a tiger sometimes you could |
| 15571s | just accidentally get a bunch of triples |
| 15573s | with Pilgrim clamps |
| 15575s | oops I slipped and hit my air power oh |
| 15577s | cool three triples |
| 15581s | uh zap not really going to achieve |
| 15583s | anything here |
| 15586s | most of this board stay been picked |
| 15588s | apart already just the remaining Divine |
| 15590s | Shield minions to go really looks like |
| 15592s | pompata has more than enough to have |
| 15595s | this covered |
| 15597s | so pompata is at 38 Health with laps |
| 15601s | active and is a head-on Tempo from other |
| 15604s | players in the lobby is killing people |
| 15608s | yeah |
| 15610s | oh dear indeed |
| 15615s | I do still think that gonky's in a |
| 15617s | pretty good spot |
| 15619s | I think it was gonky with the mechs yep |
| 15622s | yes and uh slider's gonna fall as well |
| 15629s | down to the top four now |
| 15642s | we take a look at solar actually I don't |
| 15644s | mind I don't remember seeing solar at |
| 15646s | all this game oh that's why |
| 15649s | oh no that was razor Mall |
| 15651s | oh okay yeah SOLO is the player that |
| 15653s | found the four I remember yeah |
| 15659s | we fought gaming now we are where are we |
| 15663s | dropping boys |
| 15665s | [Laughter] |
| 15672s | does look significantly weaker than some |
| 15675s | of the other boards that we have been |
| 15677s | looking at though nah Solo's cranking |
| 15680s | 90s |
| 15681s | laughs |
| 15683s | oh have you seen his 90s cracked out of |
| 15687s | his mind dude |
| 15693s | how do you do fellow kids |
| 15695s | [Laughter] |
| 15698s | oh it looks like for us both like |
| 15701s | mid-30s |
| 15703s | genuinely play tons of fortnite when the |
| 15705s | game was that I know I played with you |
| 15707s | that's true yeah you did I forgot about |
| 15710s | that it was like one Championship where |
| 15712s | we'd all go cast |
| 15714s | and then we'd go back and play fortnite |
| 15716s | we'd go back into separate hotel rooms |
| 15719s | and then connect via the Wi-Fi to then |
| 15722s | Squad up and play fortnite yeah |
| 15732s | I I don't know how gongi |
| 15738s | can really get like too much bigger here |
| 15744s | yeah passive scaling from the ritual |
| 15746s | dagger is doing bits you know like yeah |
| 15749s | plus four plus four return to a |
| 15750s | deflector bot is massive right if you |
| 15753s | wanna |
| 15754s | there's I'm sure there's an equation for |
| 15756s | how to compare that to vanilla stats |
| 15758s | somewhere right but if you look at this |
| 15759s | other side of the ball that 25 25 |
| 15762s | imprisoner the other 2923 demon like you |
| 15765s | could add 12 12 to one of those and it's |
| 15768s | still probably stronger just to add 4 4 |
| 15770s | to a deflective bar right because of the |
| 15771s | Divide Shield because of the resets and |
| 15773s | everything else that you have going on |
| 15775s | um but the problem is the deflectos are |
| 15777s | also the least likely minions to die |
| 15779s | because of the way that this pans out as |
| 15781s | you're now starting to see in the |
| 15783s | situation so it is a little bit of an |
| 15785s | awkward spot for uh gongi to be in that |
| 15788s | tunnel Blaster is a disaster as well for |
| 15792s | solar oh no another one okay does get a |
| 15796s | Divine shield on a relevantly sized |
| 15798s | Minion from there but yeah not gonna be |
| 15800s | good enough unless some real magic is |
| 15803s | gonna happen with this last remaining |
| 15805s | Sneed minion |
| 15807s | Leroy's no leroys |
| 15814s | and that is six plus three guaranteed |
| 15816s | yep |
| 15819s | oh raise them all also falling so |
| 15824s | it's a clean sweep down to the top two |
| 15826s | players dropping |
| 15828s | consistently for the past three turns so |
| 15831s | down to pompada versus Gangi |
| 15834s | it is going to be pompado |
| 15839s | pretty powerful |
| 15840s | bird buddy board with double reborn I |
| 15844s | was about to say we haven't had a bronze |
| 15846s | blessing this might be the last chance |
| 15849s | funnily enough it's actually a pretty |
| 15851s | good one |
| 15852s | yeah |
| 15854s | close-ish |
| 15857s | that's really close actually |
| 15862s | this Baron is a little bit strange as it |
| 15865s | stands at the moment there's not really |
| 15868s | any board space to take advantage of it |
| 15870s | so yep just get it directly into the sea |
| 15873s | immediately see Bill from lips whoops |
| 15875s | triple the baron |
| 15880s | hey what's weird about that is like |
| 15881s | you're you're suddenly just one uh |
| 15884s | leapfrogger away from having a better |
| 15886s | comp than what you have from the rest of |
| 15888s | the entire game right or the golden frog |
| 15890s | but |
| 15891s | using to Discount the dream |
| 15895s | uh did pompata buy that white Mane I |
| 15896s | looked away for a second yeah yeah okay |
| 15898s | very relevant information as to whether |
| 15900s | how this fight is going to go I'm |
| 15901s | imagining |
| 15902s | is going left |
| 15908s | yeah I am currently there with you but I |
| 15910s | am waiting for this uh this final 20 |
| 15912s | seconds or so just in case uh pompasa |
| 15914s | decides to have some sort of absolute |
| 15916s | pilfered lamps disaster triple something |
| 15918s | take it off his board just play with |
| 15920s | three minions |
| 15923s | [Music] |
| 15925s | no white man okay |
| 15928s | I want the Leroy instead kind of serves |
| 15930s | a similar purpose in terms of getting |
| 15932s | rid of the getting rid of the deflectos |
| 15939s | yeah SOLO torn which means guaranteed |
| 15942s | that is going in takes it down |
| 15944s | immediately |
| 15947s | now it's pretty much just going to be a |
| 15949s | battle of stats the Imp bummer doesn't |
| 15951s | really get any kind of significant value |
| 15953s | however |
| 15957s | foreign |
| 15959s | HP |
| 15962s | on a 38 attack minion there's massive |
| 15966s | reborn gas coil oh wow okay well that's |
| 15969s | problematic |
| 15975s | oh |
| 15976s | [Music] |
| 15979s | my this is just as much nonsense I'm |
| 15984s | nervous TJ I'm nervous |
| 15986s | wasn't even that |
| 15989s | okay |
| 15991s | okay go left did not go loud the |
| 15994s | deflector attacks before it got reached |
| 15996s | that's true yeah that's a really really |
| 15998s | big deal |
| 16000s | problem is this gas coiler does not get |
| 16003s | outside 38 right actually it does |
| 16005s | because no no the bird body goes in |
| 16007s | which means this is going to trade one |
| 16008s | for one but yeah |
| 16010s | it's an entire Golden Girls entire gas |
| 16013s | coiler death rattle plus the Beast that |
| 16015s | come from it ah yeah kill him never |
| 16019s | worried |
| 16023s | all right we both collected some points |
| 16025s | wait that's 20. that is 20. no way |
| 16031s | okay cool six drop from the gas coiler |
| 16035s | stealing it down we were worried about |
| 16037s | pompata losing for our precious barov's |
| 16040s | blessing points but in the end massive |
| 16043s | scam it has to be said what was it six |
| 16045s | drop five drop Six drop and then a small |
| 16047s | minion coming off a a reborn gas coiler |
| 16050s | in that situation which is yeah pretty |
| 16052s | disgusting in terms of total damage in |
| 16054s | the end in a position where honestly it |
| 16056s | didn't even look like he was necessarily |
| 16059s | super favored to win the fight I think |
| 16062s | still favored to win the fight at the |
| 16064s | beginning but then he kind of resolved |
| 16066s | into a position where he didn't really |
| 16067s | look that favored anymore but then |
| 16069s | really really strong uh drops from the |
| 16072s | gas coiler not only to win the fight |
| 16074s | which probably would have done when we |
| 16076s | got down to that last point with the gas |
| 16077s | coiler but the crucial thing being six |
| 16079s | drops and five drops coming out to |
| 16081s | actually get the kill at the last moment |
| 16083s | absolutely disgusting yeah from this |
| 16086s | like Middle Point |
| 16087s | of of uh this round I I literally had no |
| 16091s | idea yeah look at this board and |
| 16095s | I don't think anybody could tell me |
| 16097s | confident I was that attack there like |
| 16099s | that deflector going into the 14 attack |
| 16101s | Rat Pack meant that the deflecto |
| 16103s | couldn't possibly attack again without |
| 16105s | dying and everything like there was |
| 16107s | there was one attack and two attack and |
| 16109s | three attack tokens all over the board |
| 16111s | and the deflecto went into a 14 attack |
| 16113s | Rat Pack and cost itself basically all |
| 16115s | of its Health to lose the uh the Divine |
| 16118s | Shield because otherwise we could have |
| 16119s | been dealing with a pretty different |
| 16121s | scenario overall yeah |
| 16125s | um but nicely done from pompada and uh |
| 16128s | 38 health and in the game at which is |
| 16131s | pretty insane |
| 16134s | um given that it's not really even a |
| 16137s | high Tempo hero and certainly not a high |
| 16140s | Tempo Quest |
| 16142s | uh just a solid game all throughout and |
| 16146s | uh there's our current standing so |
| 16147s | papada very poor start but with that win |
| 16150s | it's gonna sneak into the current top |
| 16153s | four standings |
| 16156s | um with gongi Geo Boogie Sola and papada |
| 16159s | at the top but razor mall and current |
| 16161s | Echo not far behind kid however |
| 16164s | incredibly far behind and we've also |
| 16167s | reached a point now where kid is almost |
| 16171s | mathematically eliminated uh very early |
| 16174s | it has to be Razer mall and pump pumpada |
| 16179s | actually basically the top four half or |
| 16182s | the bottom four in the next uh game has |
| 16185s | to be what sliders current Echo razor |
| 16187s | ball and pumpata like in descending |
| 16189s | order and kid has to win in order to |
| 16191s | have a shot |
| 16193s | and then yeah kid would be Pompa pompata |
| 16196s | would have a zero a 0.5 and a seven |
| 16200s | right yeah |
| 16202s | yeah I suppose it can still be done but |
| 16206s | it's looking absolutely dire for kid uh |
| 16208s | bring back kid five is uh what I say |
| 16211s | clearly kid five had it right all along |
| 16213s | up until this point just rocks up with a |
| 16215s | name making fun of kid and wins the |
| 16217s | whole tournament and then kid has the |
| 16219s | chance to run it back and it's looking |
| 16220s | like kind of a repeat of what we saw |
| 16223s | last time uh with kid plummeting out |
| 16225s | early so uh bad news for kid bad news |
| 16228s | for me since I had kid in my fantasy |
| 16231s | team as well my fantasy team not doing |
| 16233s | great in this group so far although I |
| 16234s | did have pompata who picked up a win in |
| 16237s | that one but still one more game to go |
| 16239s | left in the day |
| 16240s | that's right which means we're going to |
| 16242s | have to go to our last break of the day |
| 16245s | but when we come back we are going to |
| 16247s | have uh the conclusion to Lobby be here |
| 16250s | the final game and then we're going to |
| 16252s | end the day by revealing the top eight |
| 16254s | right who we're going to be seeing in |
| 16256s | that final Lobby tomorrow for that check |
| 16258s | format so don't go anywhere more Lobby |

| 16468s | we've approached the end |
| 16471s | of our day number one here of our group |
| 16473s | stage one more game left to go to decide |
| 16476s | who's gonna be playing in that top eight |
| 16478s | uh in that check format tomorrow Tuesday |
| 16481s | joined by saddle Simon bottle |
| 16484s | Welch |
| 16486s | Twitter handle at Seawall underscore |
| 16489s | dotle |
| 16491s | okay my follow |
| 16493s | great guy |
| 16495s | verified on Twitter in six different |
| 16498s | ways these days |
| 16502s | I'm verified in zero ways |
| 16506s | it's fine you can just pay for it now TJ |
| 16508s | don't worry the thing is |
| 16511s | like if anybody wants to try and |
| 16514s | impersonate me like jokes on them |
| 16518s | actually great great idea hold on |
| 16520s | changing myself to TJ Sanders I'm on |
| 16522s | this immediately |
| 16524s | yeah well the uh you can't change your |
| 16526s | name anymore |
| 16527s | oh yeah true so |
| 16531s | um stuck you're stuck as uh Simon soddle |
| 16534s | Welch at skew well underscore saddle |
| 16538s | for all of eternity |
| 16540s | um but here we go jump into the game |
| 16542s | right off the bat |
| 16543s | um |
| 16545s | I see nine armor and I just I just see |
| 16549s | the big number I'm like well I'm taking |
| 16550s | that one yeah six armor Finley though |
| 16553s | yeah sign me up Finley Finley is a |
| 16556s | literal cheat code in some instances you |
| 16558s | can you can get the broken hero Powers |
| 16561s | while having the armor total and the |
| 16563s | ease of quest completion of A6 Armor |
| 16566s | Hero which is very unfair in some |
| 16568s | scenarios of course you are at the mercy |
| 16570s | of what that discovered hero power is |
| 16572s | going to be but I think six armor Finley |
| 16574s | is very very hard to turn down |
| 16576s | yep |
| 16577s | hey we got a gallywix |
| 16582s | and a rat king |
| 16584s | cool |
| 16588s | oh this is I I this is a lot of cool |
| 16591s | heroes oh okay oh what's in what's out |
| 16596s | I see Elementals are in we got no |
| 16599s | murlocs no cool borers |
| 16604s | ah George's |
| 16609s | I think it's Lich King right right yeah |
| 16612s | yeah I like Lich King |
| 16620s | yeah I think if we had the exact |
| 16622s | opposite Lobby of this that would be a |
| 16625s | snap George yeah like literally reverse |
| 16628s | the tribes right murloc's ear and Max |
| 16630s | and beasts out that's insta George at |
| 16632s | that point |
| 16634s | um but with Beast Mex in Lich King |
| 16636s | plenty of Premium targets to reborn in |
| 16638s | that scenario of course usually uh Leroy |
| 16641s | is the premium Target to reborn uh We're |
| 16644s | not gonna see one of the best scams in |
| 16646s | the game by the way we mentioned it at |
| 16648s | the start |
| 16649s | um but just if people haven't been |
| 16650s | following recently if you've been |
| 16651s | following Battlegrounds enough to know |
| 16653s | the evil twin khadgar is a huge Scourge |
| 16656s | on The Meta game right now but not |
| 16658s | following enough to know that it was hot |
| 16660s | fixed last night in my time if you're |
| 16663s | right in that specific little niche of |
| 16665s | how much attention you play to |
| 16666s | Battlegrounds uh there you go kadgar |
| 16668s | evil twin interaction was uh hot fixed |
| 16671s | out last night uh Lich King with the |
| 16674s | reborn leroys is one of the best ways to |
| 16678s | scam of that with that outside of of |
| 16680s | mackerel if you can get a few stats onto |
| 16682s | your Leroy and then give it reborn and |
| 16683s | then evil twins spread it everywhere |
| 16685s | with khadgar it's beautiful |
| 16690s | doesn't work anymore |
| 16695s | better yet |
| 16699s | pick wisdom ball |
| 16703s | and win because I need a Winston ball |
| 16707s | you better have your eyes peeled for a |
| 16710s | wisdom ball it's the last game of the |
| 16712s | day can we have we got a brand with uh |
| 16715s | the juice |
| 16717s | if this really is the juice yeah |
| 16721s | what's the counter on I would imagine |
| 16723s | this is the fourth being bought |
| 16727s | if you were to buy the triple right now |
| 16728s | which is not ideal because you want to |
| 16732s | play the golden Naga with the brand |
| 16735s | right you don't want to play it |
| 16736s | beforehand |
| 16738s | you might just have to go for buy hold |
| 16740s | yeah which is fine you also get to see |
| 16743s | the quest |
| 16744s | yeah went for a freeze there yeah I do I |
| 16746s | do not like the freeze I I like buy hold |
| 16749s | significantly more than freeze in this |
| 16751s | spot so I do think this last minute |
| 16752s | diversion is a good choice just make the |
| 16754s | damage |
| 16755s | oh this is oh yeah this is good stuff |
| 16758s | right here and all you have to do is buy |
| 16760s | one Battle Cry next turn get the brand |
| 16762s | or imagine a Battle Cry Quest |
| 16765s | requirement too |
| 16767s | or even like add cards to hand |
| 16771s | you also well Elementals are Naga |
| 16775s | zerus oh okay but you get that right now |
| 16780s | there's a freaking Elemental there's a |
| 16782s | settlemental a uh anomaly which |
| 16785s | completes the brand and then the naga in |
| 16788s | your hand |
| 16790s | oh my goodness |
| 16793s | oh my goodness that's perfect that is |
| 16796s | literally perfect |
| 16805s | I'm gonna Tavern up two to get a three |
| 16808s | from this triple or are you still gonna |
| 16810s | hold |
| 16814s | I think I'm playing it |
| 16816s | you have to play it right because it's |
| 16818s | part of the quest completion oh yeah |
| 16820s | yeah to get those heiress yeah |
| 16823s | oh my gosh it's four coins |
| 16825s | [Laughter] |
| 16831s | um |
| 16835s | bird buddy let's take a bird person yeah |
| 16838s | yeah a little bit of tempo why not |
| 16841s | I think it's fine |
| 16844s | you also take show commander and that |
| 16846s | allows you to hold the water droplet in |
| 16848s | hand so you're just playing show |
| 16849s | Commander as your fourth minion there's |
| 16851s | a Naga instead of an elemental |
| 16854s | because otherwise you're otherwise |
| 16855s | you're golden efficient right oh you |
| 16857s | have two spaces on board my back I |
| 16859s | thought you only had one space unfort it |
| 16860s | doesn't actually matter that much |
| 16862s | but pixel Commander anyway uh even given |
| 16866s | that information so |
| 16875s | and the zeros train is a coming |
| 16883s | well we're doing the same one |
| 16888s | and |
| 16891s | oh that mean all right fine |
| 16896s | I I think turn five was on my screen |
| 16900s | before that came on but fine no not mine |
| 16903s | I'm lagging Florida internet |
| 16906s | I'm actually stalling turn three oh |
| 16908s | really how is it back there |
| 16911s | simpler times right turn three those |
| 16913s | were the days yep |
| 16918s | okay well we got a triple lined up with |
| 16921s | uh well double triple |
| 16925s | foreign |
| 16931s | next turn does have the Gambler to be |
| 16933s | able to make it happen as well presuming |
| 16935s | that was swapped into on one of the |
| 16937s | turns uh you have very little gold to |
| 16940s | actually be allocated to anything except |
| 16942s | buying back your alley cat so very |
| 16944s | likely that was just flipped into on one |
| 16946s | of the previous turns with the hero |
| 16947s | power |
| 16956s | oh honestly |
| 16958s | EJ's extremely late bandwagon pick has |
| 16962s | just been officially approved into the |
| 16963s | system cannot believe it getting away |
| 16966s | with murder here |
| 16967s | check mark emoji on Discord officially |
| 16971s | approved into this into the system look |
| 16975s | okay the people who are who are running |
| 16978s | all of this for us can tell you some |
| 16980s | wonderful stories about what it's |
| 16981s | possible to do by just typing things in |
| 16983s | Discord when technology fails you okay |
| 16986s | do not discount |
| 16993s | but just |
| 16996s | watched your Boogie just crash and burn |
| 16998s | from this point yeah yeah that looks |
| 17000s | just got super hyped I um if I had seen |
| 17004s | razamore's board I would have been |
| 17006s | tempted to diver away from the gear |
| 17009s | Boogie because that is a settlemental |
| 17012s | triple on a gallywix which is one of the |
| 17015s | best positions you can possibly be in in |
| 17017s | the entire game uh seller mental |
| 17020s | probably the best early triple in the |
| 17022s | game and then even more so on uh on |
| 17025s | galleywix because of the way the hero |
| 17026s | power works so very very strong position |
| 17028s | for Razer Mall overall |
| 17031s | ooh |
| 17034s | what was the quest |
| 17037s | cooked book |
| 17040s | Elementals are pirates though |
| 17043s | eight eight Elementals are pirates oh my |
| 17045s | goodness that's a again one out one out |
| 17049s | of eight currently if I saw that |
| 17050s | correctly which means uh yeah we're on |
| 17053s | turn six kids still has to play seven |
| 17056s | more Elementals or Pirates to get plus |
| 17060s | one plus one on the first minion that he |
| 17062s | buys cooked book is so incredibly slow |
| 17066s | yes it is massive when you can get it |
| 17069s | rolling but my goodness kid is so far |
| 17072s | away from making it happen here |
| 17075s | I respect it though in kids specific |
| 17077s | position |
| 17078s | it makes sense right Pirates are in go |
| 17081s | for cookbook hit hogar win game |
| 17085s | makes sense you can argue you don't need |
| 17087s | cookbook if you hit |
| 17089s | okay you can argue you don't need the |
| 17092s | cookbook part of that sentence if you |
| 17094s | hit hogar if you go infinite with hogar |
| 17096s | you're winning the game anyway because |
| 17097s | you're infinite that's a valid argument |
| 17098s | but kid has a fraction of a fraction of |
| 17102s | a fraction percent chance to qualify |
| 17104s | from this position and it all starts |
| 17107s | with him winning the game |
| 17109s | did you Boogie just zerus into an Eliza |
| 17113s | uh |
| 17114s | uh he's on four so he kind of faceless |
| 17116s | into it so I would presume so yes |
| 17121s | unless he tripled into a five and then |
| 17123s | faceless that into an Elisa which seems |
| 17125s | like a very unlikely play to make I |
| 17127s | would imagine that's what happened to us |
| 17129s | okay |
| 17130s | well that's pretty good |
| 17134s | that'll at least buy him some time to |
| 17136s | get rolling |
| 17137s | doesn't have to like get hard to build |
| 17140s | around it unless you go like Exodia but |
| 17143s | yeah meanwhile Tony |
| 17147s | I'm just gonna say where is Razer Mall |
| 17149s | in the standings right now raise them |
| 17151s | all is on Seven Points uh 0.5 off the |
| 17155s | cutoff which is currently pompata on 7.5 |
| 17158s | so tripling into a five here and taking |
| 17160s | a light Fang is just kind of an |
| 17161s | interesting decision that I'm trying to |
| 17163s | dig into the motivation for |
| 17166s | um and furthermore then trying to |
| 17168s | process what you do with 13 gold on this |
| 17171s | turn because instant Temptation when you |
| 17174s | have 13 gold is to press that level |
| 17175s | button you have a little bit of stats |
| 17177s | coming out with the light fan can pick |
| 17179s | up the high main to fill out the Beast |
| 17181s | slot in your comp as well but how |
| 17183s | interested are you in really going for |
| 17185s | the Gusto here and how much do you just |
| 17188s | want to sit and play like economy |
| 17191s | gallywix on Tavern 4. right just buy |
| 17194s | just buy sell Buffs the only thing that |
| 17197s | came into my mind when I raise them |
| 17200s | all's board is Snicker snacks Snicker |
| 17204s | snacks |
| 17211s | we go over to expert analyst TJ Sanders |
| 17215s | patches is good with pirates |
| 17223s | okay actually using the War gear is a |
| 17226s | magnetic oh watch watch watch watch |
| 17228s | watch |
| 17230s | I'm watching |
| 17233s | well you're gonna have to watch for a |
| 17235s | little bit but |
| 17236s | there you go oh oh yeah look at all |
| 17240s | those stats |
| 17242s | wasn't even that it really wasn't though |
| 17244s | yeah |
| 17246s | it's enough though looks big enough for |
| 17248s | this fight |
| 17249s | yeah |
| 17261s | big enough for this fight by some |
| 17263s | distance this is an absolute murder |
| 17266s | oh yeah damage cap one off |
| 17277s | um hello |
| 17278s | are you okay |
| 17282s | I mean |
| 17283s | That's Tony yeah okay I'm looking I'm |
| 17286s | looking at some of these other boards |
| 17287s | and I'm like okay this looks miserable |
| 17289s | but yeah it's turn eight I suppose this |
| 17291s | is a sign currently with the evil twin |
| 17294s | like Donald blaster's clearing up but |
| 17297s | like a lot of these players boards |
| 17300s | kid is at four it is at four yes |
| 17304s | glad you noticed |
| 17312s | ah okay |
| 17317s | cookbook is rolling book is rolling |
| 17320s | indeed yes |
| 17324s | wait what is the I'm very confused by |
| 17327s | that jandus hero power he he jandus hero |
| 17330s | powered a minion into the shop that |
| 17332s | doesn't really benefit from getting but |
| 17334s | okay he has a little rag okay I didn't |
| 17336s | notice the little rag that makes more |
| 17337s | sense because normally with jandy's |
| 17339s | cookbook you want to like throw a Divine |
| 17341s | Shield back into the shop and then buy |
| 17342s | it again for example |
| 17345s | um but in this situation with the little |
| 17346s | rag sure that kind of makes some sense |
| 17349s | yep |
| 17351s | but isn't enough stats to beat the |
| 17353s | double massive the evil twin salty |
| 17357s | looter it was a blaster on the other |
| 17359s | side as well |
| 17360s | how big was the salty it was it was |
| 17362s | about the same size as this little rag |
| 17364s | right roughly the same thing it was 22 |
| 17366s | but it's also c'thun hero power plus |
| 17367s | there was a couple pirates in shop it |
| 17369s | was a gambler in shop as well right yeah |
| 17372s | so it's gonna be what probably 25. |
| 17375s | 29. okay |
| 17378s | Philadelphia I think in the end for this |
| 17381s | to be a big win for kid |
| 17383s | [Applause] |
| 17386s | that's gone the wrong way though that's |
| 17389s | fine still win still a win so and |
| 17392s | cookbook's starting to starting to roll |
| 17394s | pretty nicely so |
| 17396s | kid might be able to claw his way out of |
| 17399s | this uh |
| 17401s | this uh eighth place spot but as we said |
| 17404s | still needs a lot to go right |
| 17406s | yes uh in this game in order to actually |
| 17409s | make it into the top four because it's |
| 17410s | coming into this with only 1.5 points |
| 17412s | absolutely needs a win |
| 17414s | and then also has to have some other |
| 17416s | players in the lobby |
| 17417s | uh oh my gosh |
| 17421s | crazy malls just destroying everybody |
| 17423s | how much was that three six ten |
| 17428s | nine okay well it wasn't quite lethal |
| 17430s | without damage cap but that was a ton of |
| 17433s | damage in that position |
| 17436s | and this is actually a big Tempo board |
| 17438s | that got murdered by the galleywix on |
| 17441s | the other side there now that you look |
| 17442s | at it |
| 17443s | oh a Croc |
| 17446s | third-person golden tank and Croc yeah |
| 17448s | this is so Tempo heavy like this is such |
| 17452s | an unfortunate fight for kid to be |
| 17453s | running into at this exact moment |
| 17461s | I think it's done so |
| 17464s | I mean there's a whole extra turn of |
| 17466s | cookbook oh you're not accounting for |
| 17468s | her |
| 17469s | whoa |
| 17476s | we got there's a lot of cool stuff going |
| 17479s | on here there is let's get the kid |
| 17481s | revealed though yeah this is what we're |
| 17482s | looking for Leroy |
| 17485s | Divine Shield back on the little rag no |
| 17489s | real significant upgrades in terms of |
| 17491s | like premium Minions that you found with |
| 17494s | cooked book though no additional Divine |
| 17496s | Shield or Eve or anything like that the |
| 17498s | Leroy's not even running into anything |
| 17500s | particularly good either uh there was |
| 17503s | like a taunted sorrowless and a taunted |
| 17505s | High main uh and that was it |
| 17509s | um like pretty small potatoes All Things |
| 17512s | Considered oh my gosh we got one |
| 17515s | and there's no bear in here though so |
| 17518s | it's just the khadgar oh no and it's |
| 17522s | tunnel Blaster Baron |
| 17524s | oh the stats shoot he's good yeah all |
| 17527s | right oh no he's talking about so far |
| 17528s | Road I didn't even see the baron yeah |
| 17530s | right yeah that Baron is disgusting |
| 17532s | that's gonna probably be lethal now from |
| 17535s | okay that's the attack that's the one |
| 17537s | you absolutely needed no not anymore |
| 17541s | too much |
| 17542s | close |
| 17544s | uh needed to uh kill the |
| 17549s | Wave Rider yeah so if you if the left |
| 17553s | salty looter had not attacked him to the |
| 17555s | one remaining big minion okay whoa kid |
| 17559s | gets there kid lives to fight another |
| 17561s | day and kid actually leveled to five on |
| 17563s | that previous turn that was the biggest |
| 17564s | problem that kid had is that he wasn't |
| 17567s | able to get to five really but three |
| 17569s | people have died and I don't believe |
| 17574s | that they are the three that kid needs |
| 17577s | them to be no but Potter was one of them |
| 17579s | yeah but |
| 17581s | sliders is still alive |
| 17584s | uh but sliders was lower |
| 17586s | true I just would have to go out in |
| 17588s | fifth right |
| 17589s | okay let me look let me look let me look |
| 17592s | all right |
| 17593s | meanwhile I thought it was at Five |
| 17595s | Points so Slaughter goes out in fifth |
| 17597s | that's three points kid would pass okay |
| 17599s | all right the dream lives the dream |
| 17601s | lives and uh Sola would yeah and |
| 17610s | no soul is safe now |
| 17612s | but the but also the problem is that was |
| 17615s | a three-way tie for seventh right so |
| 17617s | pompata actually got one whole point |
| 17619s | which goes to 8.5 |
| 17622s | oh my gosh it go to double tie Breakers |
| 17625s | if that's the case it would be kid and |
| 17627s | pompada both with a Seventh Place finish |
| 17629s | or not or kid pump parts would have the |
| 17632s | exact same record right zero points 0.5 |
| 17635s | points one point seven point |
| 17637s | oh my gosh I don't even know what |
| 17639s | breaker there all right this is |
| 17641s | officially the point we stopped trying |
| 17643s | to work this out because we're not gonna |
| 17644s | get anywhere back to what's actually |
| 17646s | happening it would still it would still |
| 17648s | have to be sliders going out in in uh in |
| 17651s | fifth to even matter right |
| 17657s | foreign |
| 17661s | so our our top uh four is actually set |
| 17665s | sorry to ruin the drama |
| 17673s | it's bored TJ what is happening |
| 17677s | oh my goodness |
| 17679s | it's just double Blaster Baron of the |
| 17682s | two big minions like nothing else is |
| 17684s | relevant at all blasters died too slowly |
| 17687s | it did yeah |
| 17691s | and now he's gonna get solar cooked here |
| 17693s | I believe |
| 17695s | yep yeah far too much damage on the |
| 17698s | other side |
| 17700s | did kids survive kid did survive kids |
| 17703s | doing everything he needs to even though |
| 17705s | TJ is saying it's seemingly irrelevant |
| 17708s | here you can always Bank on TJ Sanders |
| 17711s | being wrong yeah because kid now |
| 17713s | finishes 8.5 points uh if the win that's |
| 17717s | the maximum oh I can't talk anymore |
| 17718s | because I got to do the barrels Plus |
| 17723s | okay cooked book is at |
| 17728s | plus a lot and there's a Hydra as well a |
| 17732s | Hydra that can be bought multiple times |
| 17735s | here it also dumped some stats from the |
| 17739s | ball or now just pick up the magnetic |
| 17742s | this is a huge turn for kids |
| 17750s | tell the other pirate flip the Hydra |
| 17754s | sell whatever you flip into |
| 17757s | and then buy the Hydra and the Magnetic |
| 17762s | it's gone a little bit different here |
| 17764s | looks like he's not picking up |
| 17767s | the module okay there's not enough gold |
| 17771s | well he could have done if he did like |
| 17772s | he he bought |
| 17774s | the what did he buy he bought the the |
| 17777s | three-star pirate instead of the module |
| 17784s | there's a lure on the other side but |
| 17786s | currently it's not next to a taunt |
| 17787s | it is not no |
| 17793s | unless he moves it I'm probably going |
| 17795s | with kid |
| 17797s | I am absolutely waiting until the last |
| 17799s | second to see where that Leroy goes |
| 17801s | yeah |
| 17803s | okay |
| 17810s | try a kid tries to put the Leroy up |
| 17812s | front to expose the uh the meaty |
| 17815s | backline here |
| 17817s | that's the bet of |
| 17822s | I think so okay attacking into the |
| 17825s | cleave is relevant but the cleave gets |
| 17827s | to go multiple times again here |
| 17831s | all by one Health we worried about |
| 17835s | I was worried what are you worried about |
| 17838s | I was worried |
| 17840s | that was like the worst possible pad out |
| 17842s | I think and he still gets there |
| 17844s | kill him you know I do know |
| 17852s | that's first stats |
| 17856s | now this is how Battlegrounds is meant |
| 17859s | to be played |
| 17861s | just big meaty minions slapping meat |
| 17870s | there's a lot of goldens |
| 17874s | unless I had a Tony I did have a Tony |
| 17876s | for a few turns |
| 17882s | Cali please oh no what happened we don't |
| 17886s | want second scally I'm confused |
| 17889s | thanks for gold instead |
| 17894s | what's the final minion in that case |
| 17901s | tunnel blaster |
| 17903s | possibly yeah |
| 17906s | you can see that |
| 17916s | oh |
| 17924s | this time surely yeah okay fine |
| 17928s | okay |
| 17936s | it'd be like back Exodia versus Barney |
| 17941s | yeah they're both |
| 17944s | way away from yeah the actual perfect |
| 17946s | Exodia builds if you want to look at it |
| 17948s | that way but |
| 17950s | it is a timeline that exists |
| 17960s | foreign |
| 17963s | [Applause] |
| 17968s | never mind poisonous minion does the |
| 17971s | work for him |
| 17980s | distance |
| 17981s | oh yeah oh stop actually stop that's a |
| 17986s | big old GG |
| 17993s | all right you killed one the moral |
| 17996s | victory |
| 17999s | it'll still be the end of the road |
| 18003s | yeah brazemore goes down in fourth at a |
| 18007s | minimum |
| 18008s | that makes things a little bit more |
| 18010s | complicated I do think kid is uh uh |
| 18013s | mathematically eliminated now but |
| 18015s | there's some there's a room for sliders |
| 18018s | to actually move up in the standings I |
| 18020s | believe and maybe sneak into top four |
| 18024s | there's always room for sliders TJ |
| 18028s | he's gonna slide right up |
| 18035s | the power of Kamar taught me anything |
| 18037s | it's there's always room for sliders I |
| 18039s | need that we literally just had to go |
| 18041s | yeah we did it |
| 18044s | I mean that was six hours ago at this |
| 18045s | point but it was it happened today yep |
| 18054s | so I was like I'm done yep that's my |
| 18058s | board |
| 18061s | they're a presumed flurry of action over |
| 18064s | on uh kid's side instead yes indeed |
| 18067s | there is |
| 18074s | get the golden hugger after all uh |
| 18077s | finally Tony coming through |
| 18081s | that is now a 16160 |
| 18089s | what have I become |
| 18096s | that is big and you taught the Leroy |
| 18098s | right |
| 18100s | you're well it depends so if I see my |
| 18103s | opponent showing Max here I would taunt |
| 18105s | the Leroy to play around deflecto first |
| 18107s | but I don't know if sliders sorry if kid |
| 18110s | has seen sliders board recently and |
| 18112s | knows that there aren't deflectos up fun |
| 18115s | I would assume based on this play that |
| 18116s | he does |
| 18118s | that is a weird taunt otherwise you're |
| 18121s | expecting to see deflectos up from |
| 18123s | it's like the second weakest minion |
| 18126s | there's a rhythm to this |
| 18132s | that cleave did nothing |
| 18135s | literally |
| 18137s | absolutely nothing |
| 18139s | that Leroy did nothing with my Divine |
| 18142s | Shields |
| 18144s | okay that's a good attack now go into |
| 18146s | the Expo nope okay the ping pong begins |
| 18148s | okay that's good still plenty of Health |
| 18150s | remaining it's a tie it is a tie |
| 18165s | your Boogie cool just casually escaping |
| 18170s | the ghost this is like perfect Vanessa |
| 18173s | territory just a bunch of max players |
| 18174s | Vanessa just attacking 50 million times |
| 18183s | so he comes up here with |
| 18186s | or the sliders fight wow two Hoggers in |
| 18190s | a row just blown straight past |
| 18194s | way too late for that stuff right now |
| 18196s | yep |
| 18199s | oh okay kid has found Hawker number four |
| 18203s | which means kid is now infinite |
| 18207s | I just need to find some good minions to |
| 18209s | end on uh with the cookbook yup you want |
| 18214s | to find good minions to end on and you |
| 18215s | want to hit as many balls of minions as |
| 18218s | you possibly can in this situation |
| 18220s | there's some stuff |
| 18221s | I like but hello what it was like an |
| 18226s | infinitely sized Hydra no okay fine |
| 18234s | it doesn't have time for this subtle all |
| 18236s | right |
| 18240s | got Pirates to buy |
| 18243s | apparently he doesn't |
| 18250s | yeah I mean with the Rope burning |
| 18252s | there's an argument you're supposed to |
| 18254s | just flip a pirate back into the shop |
| 18256s | and then buy it back or they're actually |
| 18257s | the only pirate you can flip is the |
| 18259s | spare hogger which would mean if you're |
| 18260s | only then getting back uh too gold from |
| 18262s | buying it again you're not actually |
| 18263s | making a profit but theoretically if you |
| 18266s | have more time back there you could just |
| 18267s | flip a pirate back into the shop buy it |
| 18268s | again to make money and then have one |
| 18270s | more roll to then hit more Pirates and |
| 18272s | continue going but with the Rope Burning |
| 18273s | uh I think the play that |
| 18276s | uh kid made made the most sense |
| 18284s | okay well that tunnel Blaster actually |
| 18286s | did something yes it is |
| 18289s | oh that's the attack that is the attack |
| 18298s | foreign |
| 18308s | side but I think still plenty to have |
| 18311s | this covered |
| 18313s | that's definitely the attack for sure |
| 18315s | and just enough Health on the golden |
| 18317s | Eliza to win the fight but not nearly |
| 18320s | enough damage |
| 18321s | uh to kill sliders so this one will |
| 18323s | march on oh my gosh |
| 18328s | the biggest Hydra a gift for ashara |
| 18333s | where you sell every other minion and |
| 18335s | just have that Hydra |
| 18339s | that's the one you've won a Triple |
| 18342s | myrmodynamic |
| 18347s | it's a 750 750 okay |
| 18356s | oh yeah 50 before the ball of minions |
| 18358s | has even been sold that's true yeah |
| 18368s | what about a massive white man oh it's |
| 18370s | another one |
| 18372s | so many |
| 18375s | come on land on the Cleaves |
| 18379s | come on there we go |
| 18381s | [Music] |
| 18385s | it's another one to complete the set |
| 18387s | still has a ton of gold left |
| 18392s | we haven't mentioned I believe in this |
| 18394s | tournament is the um the server is |
| 18396s | chosen by essentially like the time zone |
| 18398s | of the events this is a designated |
| 18400s | Europe event I believe which means it |
| 18402s | will be being played on Europe uh so if |
| 18404s | this looks slow to you that's why a kid |
| 18407s | is some on some serious cross server |
| 18410s | action right now so even doing what he's |
| 18412s | being able to do right now with the |
| 18414s | infinite Hawker stuff is pretty |
| 18415s | impressive oh my goodness |
| 18419s | is so big |
| 18421s | oh my goodness |
| 18425s | it's one of those games where you just |
| 18426s | look up to the heaven and say bless you |
| 18429s | Bob for Banning murlocs this game |
| 18431s | because this is what you want to do |
| 18432s | let's be honest no one wants to play |
| 18434s | Poison murlocs this is what we want to |
| 18436s | do |
| 18440s | a crisp 32 |
| 18443s | and had about two thousand two thousand |
| 18446s | leftover stats on the board still to |
| 18448s | play with at the end of it |
| 18452s | yeah all the way down to four health and |
| 18455s | kid has clawed this one back and I don't |
| 18457s | think sliders is anywhere near big |
| 18459s | enough |
| 18461s | especially with the Cleaves if this was |
| 18463s | just big stats with no Cleaves then |
| 18464s | maybe like the mackerel ping pong could |
| 18467s | just go on forever |
| 18469s | so that'd be the chance replicating |
| 18472s | Menace |
| 18477s | okay by this point we're not trying to |
| 18479s | win the lobby we're trying to make the |
| 18480s | biggest Cleaves possible that's what |
| 18482s | about a cyclone no okay no no no that |
| 18486s | doesn't make cleave bigger TJ were you |
| 18488s | not listening yeah but it it oh magnetic |
| 18491s | no by the magnetic |
| 18499s | what is happening |
| 18501s | Neil got too excited he pressed the |
| 18503s | button yeah yeah it was lorinda's nap |
| 18505s | time he just fell asleep on the stream |
| 18507s | deck on another ball as well |
| 18511s | thank you |
| 18514s | triple still a minute left by the way |
| 18516s | yep |
| 18518s | oh yeah that's the laugh |
| 18520s | 300 300 Hydra now oh another magnetic |
| 18525s | by the last one though I don't think |
| 18527s | okay does buy this one |
| 18538s | oh don't give it torn now it's just |
| 18541s | gonna get anticlimactically leroid at |
| 18543s | the start of the fight come on we've |
| 18545s | played this game before |
| 18547s | he doesn't care oh I know |
| 18551s | cyclone |
| 18557s | stupid |
| 18562s | you're gonna make it even bigger |
| 18568s | oh this is what we ended to see this is |
| 18573s | Battlegrounds right here |
| 18575s | no Leroy the board's still exactly the |
| 18578s | same except there's no windshield on the |
| 18581s | macaw |
| 18582s | I mean honestly see this sell all your |
| 18585s | minions apart from the two Cleaves kind |
| 18587s | of angle if you really wanted to go out |
| 18588s | in style here |
| 18591s | don't clean embarrassing |
| 18598s | you're gonna kill one thing |
| 18604s | the corrupted memorandum that's a |
| 18606s | tripled 250 250 is almost no longer his |
| 18609s | biggest minion by the way with how |
| 18611s | insane that term I wonder if he just |
| 18613s | sold everything except for the murmurdon |
| 18615s | if he would still win |
| 18618s | probably not but there you have it kid |
| 18620s | claws away all the way back from a near |
| 18623s | defeat an eighth all the way to a first |
| 18626s | place finish from four health |
| 18629s | unfortunately I don't think it's going |
| 18630s | to be enough but at least kid went out |
| 18632s | in style and showed what he's capable of |
| 18634s | uh after a pretty rough first couple |
| 18636s | games in that Lobby |
| 18638s | um but yeah that's the happiest I've |
| 18641s | been to not have a uh a murloc uh game |
| 18646s | in uh in this Lobby because |
| 18650s | we would have never gotten that much |
| 18651s | excitement |
| 18653s | to be fair like if my looks are in you |
| 18655s | do you can still get in that same |
| 18657s | position but you play it very |
| 18658s | differently right like that's when |
| 18659s | you're then picking up the Cyclones and |
| 18662s | the deflectos and you're playing for |
| 18663s | divine Shields and resets and that kind |
| 18665s | of thing instead and sure you can have |
| 18667s | your giant Divine Shield cleave faux |
| 18669s | Reaper as well in that mix but kid just |
| 18672s | knew full well that poison wasn't really |
| 18675s | what he had to worry about at all so |
| 18677s | Divine shields were just not super |
| 18678s | relevant like honestly as soon as the |
| 18680s | stats got as big as they got the minions |
| 18683s | individually didn't really matter that |
| 18686s | much I mean just in the end just chose |
| 18688s | to lean super hard into the Cleaves |
| 18690s | because of uh Cleaves being pretty |
| 18693s | effective against Max overall against |
| 18694s | most kinds of Baron uh comp |
| 18697s | picking up Cleaves is going to get a lot |
| 18699s | of work done for you so yeah very nicely |
| 18701s | played for kid I'm glad that he had the |
| 18703s | opportunity to show us what he can do |
| 18704s | given the opportunity as I said it was |
| 18707s | an incredibly greedy cooked book to take |
| 18710s | even in the scenario he was in but the |
| 18713s | scenario he was in |
| 18715s | made it necessary right he had to get |
| 18717s | the win he had to have the near perfect |
| 18719s | pan out of everyone else getting the |
| 18721s | results he needed as well I don't think |
| 18724s | that is the reality and yeah in the end |
| 18726s | you see it is still some distance away |
| 18728s | but that at the end of it all is a very |
| 18732s | tightly contested group overall yeah so |
| 18735s | top four is going to be Geo Boogie gonky |
| 18737s | Sola and Sliders who barely just outrage |
| 18740s | them all uh on a tiebreaker uh which is |
| 18743s | the highest finish sliders with that |
| 18745s | second place |
| 18747s | uh in that last game uh secures it so a |
| 18751s | heartbreaker for razor Mall being that |
| 18753s | close having the points but not having |
| 18756s | the high enough finish |
| 18757s | but top four is settled so uh actually |
| 18761s | top two of this group was the two South |
| 18763s | Korean players which is uh |
| 18765s | uh pretty cool because a lot of times we |
| 18767s | see |
| 18768s | especially in previous Lobby Legends uh |
| 18771s | Japan doing quite well uh China |
| 18773s | oftentimes having at least one or two |
| 18775s | players in top four in each group and so |
| 18778s | uh South Korea is showing up and and |
| 18779s | doing some work and the dark horse group |
| 18782s | of uh Group B uh |
| 18786s | pretty cool neat to see |
| 18788s | yeah very very hard group to predict I |
| 18790s | think uh going into this one |
| 18793s | um as I think evidenced by neither of us |
| 18796s | doing super well with our fantasy teams |
| 18799s | I hope people in chat have done a little |
| 18801s | bit better with this one uh overall but |
| 18803s | I think I had well I had kid and pompata |
| 18805s | who had sixth and seventh I didn't have |
| 18807s | sliders who finished fourth uh TJ who |
| 18810s | did you who are your picks for this I |
| 18811s | don't uh gonky kid and kerneko so we're |
| 18814s | about even I think it's probably okay |
| 18815s | the points from our fantasy teams were |
| 18817s | pretty even because gongy was slightly |
| 18819s | ahead of Sliders but pompado was |
| 18820s | slightly ahead of current Echo we both |
| 18821s | had kid so I think you edged me out by |
| 18823s | half a point in terms of fantasy |
| 18826s | um but you edged me out by a million |
| 18830s | points in terms of literally everything |
| 18831s | else |
| 18832s | though |
| 18833s | we'll see how things uh shake out in |
| 18836s | terms of points but I think you're going |
| 18837s | to have a pretty substantial lead in The |
| 18838s | Tavern buddy Department there's the |
| 18840s | final Lobby |
| 18841s | uh a lot of excitement going into |
| 18843s | tomorrow |
| 18845s | um again outside of that last game with |
| 18847s | kid we didn't really see too many crazy |
| 18849s | things happen today |
| 18852s | um not a lot of the uh you know APM |
| 18856s | Pirates uh not a lot of super high |
| 18859s | European builds that had longevity |
| 18861s | and uh in terms of but in terms of |
| 18865s | mechanical play I felt like it was |
| 18867s | pretty solid all day long uh very good |
| 18869s | decisions from the the top players from |
| 18872s | each individual game in the later stages |
| 18876s | let's go baby the Clean Sweep |
| 18881s | actual Battlegrounds genius the only |
| 18884s | ones I got right were the ones that I |
| 18886s | agreed with you I mean that's how it |
| 18888s | works when I get them all right yes |
| 18891s | ah unbelievable |
| 18894s | unbelievable |
| 18898s | wow all six winners use a different hero |
| 18901s | yep uh because we had that one last time |
| 18903s | and it was no |
| 18906s | um so I just went with uh historical |
| 18908s | evidence |
| 18909s | so the reason I went yes on this |
| 18911s | occasion like I agree with you that one |
| 18912s | is kind of coin flippy but because the |
| 18914s | meta right now is so Tempo focused it's |
| 18917s | not like oh you know you get gallywix |
| 18919s | you win the game you get Milhouse you |
| 18920s | win the game so everyone's picking |
| 18922s | Milhouse everyone's picking galleywix |
| 18923s | you kind of just pick a Tempo hero of |
| 18926s | which there are like 60 in the game and |
| 18928s | then you play for Tempo so I felt like |
| 18930s | the chances of it being spread across |
| 18932s | six Heroes was pretty more likely than |
| 18934s | not and I feel like I should at least |
| 18936s | get partial credit for wisdom ball |
| 18938s | because there was a second please finish |
| 18940s | oh it's that's actually I liked I know |
| 18943s | that's actually uh really close I made |
| 18945s | up a lot in the barabs blessing picks |
| 18947s | because I won two two of them uh two |
| 18950s | additional ones than you I believe |
| 18951s | because I think there are 25 points a |
| 18953s | piece just a flat 25 points yep |
| 18956s | um I think I swept berov's blessing I |
| 18958s | got them all right |
| 18960s | um which carried me |
| 18963s | and it was just my group a that that |
| 18966s | beat me on the fantasy team and puzzle |
| 18969s | box and jokes on you puzzle box the only |
| 18971s | word temp what's a question |
| 18973s | that is uncomfortably close I do not |
| 18976s | like it |
| 18981s | all right |
| 18982s | I'm coming in hot tomorrow for some |
| 18984s | points Oh you mean I actually have to |
| 18986s | try again tomorrow |
| 18988s | yeah uh I'm curious to see how um uh the |
| 18993s | the chat did |
| 18997s | uh we are a little bit behind so they |
| 18998s | don't have full tallies |
| 19000s | um because of the delay |
| 19003s | but |
| 19004s | I'm going to take a look real quick |
| 19007s | how we fare against everybody else |
| 19009s | if you also got six out of six puzzle |
| 19012s | box questions correct then you may join |
| 19014s | me as a verified member of the |
| 19016s | Battlegrounds genius Club |
| 19017s | congratulations okay there was a there's |
| 19019s | a couple people that already have higher |
| 19021s | scores than you and the final tallies |
| 19022s | haven't even marked |
| 19023s | so |
| 19026s | um and me I'd be like top 25 that's not |
| 19029s | bad if I was on the leaderboard I do too |
| 19032s | terrible I'm doing the unfinished |
| 19034s | leaderboard that hasn't already had all |
| 19035s | the points assigned to it yeah but the |
| 19037s | last points assigned aren't enough to |
| 19039s | because the barrel yeah I guess it's |
| 19041s | just I guess it's a Barrel's blessing a |
| 19044s | little left to go but whatever |
| 19046s | we should both give ourselves a nice |
| 19048s | little pat on the back so I think we |
| 19049s | both did a fantastic job today in our |
| 19051s | predictions |
| 19053s | and uh only uh look for looking forward |
| 19056s | to tomorrow to see if I can make up |
| 19058s | that's a I'm a single bearov's blessing |
| 19061s | correct Choice away from passing you in |
| 19063s | points not great is it yeah I really |
| 19066s | felt like I was going to be further |
| 19067s | ahead than that but yeah a couple of |
| 19069s | barrels blessings let me down in the end |
| 19070s | but more importantly I'm more excited to |
| 19073s | see how our final Lobby is gonna pan out |
| 19075s | because I think we have a very |
| 19077s | interesting mix of players and it was |
| 19079s | kind of always going to be that way |
| 19081s | right because we have the players that |
| 19083s | we recognize who've kind of built their |
| 19084s | stories throughout the year from Lobby a |
| 19087s | that are coming through and then you |
| 19088s | know we called Lobby B the dark horse |
| 19090s | group which it kind of was because there |
| 19092s | weren't really any players who had |
| 19093s | massive success in lobby Legends in |
| 19095s | there |
| 19096s | um and they're kind of throwing up the |
| 19097s | wild cards for us to deal with so I |
| 19099s | think it gives us a very interesting |
| 19100s | Dynamic uh going into what Derek was |
| 19103s | referring to as Mega Lobby on uh on |
| 19106s | Sunday |
| 19107s | yeah |
| 19109s | um which should be fun yeah if you look |
| 19111s | at the historicals of the players from |
| 19113s | Group B that actually made it in |
| 19115s | all the players with significant |
| 19117s | experience in Hobby Legends were |
| 19119s | eliminated from that group |
| 19122s | so uh it's it's going to be cool to see |
| 19124s | how they go up against maybe some |
| 19126s | players with more experience at least |
| 19127s | playing in this uh the the final stage |
| 19130s | of a of a Lobby Legends weekend so uh |
| 19134s | but with that we've come to the |
| 19136s | conclusion of our day number one it was |
| 19138s | a fun day we had actually went pretty |
| 19140s | long we had a lot of long games a lot of |
| 19142s | late turns especially in that first |
| 19143s | group but we did get to see a lot of |
| 19146s | awesome Battlegrounds action of course |
| 19148s | we'll return tomorrow uh which will be |
| 19150s | same time same place for that final |
| 19152s | check format Lobby to determine our |
| 19157s | Battlegrounds Lobby Legends seven winner |
| 19159s | so with that for myself from saddle from |
| 19163s | Lorinda our spectator from the broadcast |
| 19164s | crew here thanks for watching and we'll |

| 19358s | Lobby Legends murloc guys |
