583s	thank you
586s	hello and welcome to the first ever
589s	World qualifier open here
592s	with relations of return joining me
594s	today for this fantastic series of games
597s	is going to be none other than former
598s	World Championship Mr TFT himself Mr
601s	Allen over here how are you doing today
603s	we have a fantastic series of matches
605s	how are you feeling good morning gems
607s	I'm feeling fantastic the series will be
610s	absolutely amazing we have so many good
613s	players in the top cut we I can't wait
615s	to cover those matches again that's a
618s	first open so like every player had a
621s	shot at it and yeah that should be
624s	amazing series
625s	yeah that is that is true it all the
628s	players over the past couple of uh since
630s	yesterday have had to play up to about
632s	nine rounds of matches uh throughout the
634s	entire day so slightly different to what
635s	we've had previously where we've had the
637s	seasonals this time it is unscheduled
639s	they had to play nine rounds of matches
641s	to qualify and all the matches follow
643s	this exact same format for the most part
645s	uh players bring three different decks
647s	with no duplicated Champions no
649s	duplicated region combination no more
650s	than one deck without any Champions at
652s	all they ban one of those decks and they
654s	can't use it again after winning and of
656s	course there's the timer for each round
659s	that gives a lot of strategies people
660s	can utilize we can see the strategies
663s	where you pick Comfort Peaks where you
665s	bring stronger speaks or you just go
667s	with the target balance so we'll see
669s	what players brought yeah so after those
671s	nine rounds we got our top 64 players
673s	that had made it through the pricing and
675s	the point system are as follows if you
677s	come for uh 35 to 64 you get the three
681s	points all the way up to first place
682s	which also gives you a nice 5K USD and
686s	an invite to the world's uh itself if
689s	you take the whole tournament so players
691s	are really going to be looking to try
692s	and get that first place and try and
694s	maximize their points to increase their
696s	odds of qualifying for worlds
698s	yeah most definitely we already have one
700s	world qualifier from the Apec region and
703s	we're about to see today who is going to
705s	qualifying from above emea and na so
709s	like you had a First Peek into the
712s	players who's your first bet your chance
715s	ah this is tough I'm gonna be a little
718s	biased and go with my own practice
719s	partner Juno just because but it's clear
722s	by us do you know he's been playing
724s	fantastically
725s	um he's a very strong player and I'm
727s	really hoping he does well all right
729s	we'll be jumping into the a game and
732s	we'll be having tilted against a ghoster
734s	driver Battle of the Germans
737s	we've already the game that starts with
740s	the match going it's Echo Jinks against
742s	Tristana bundle oh looks like there is
745s	an overwhelming attack already coming
747s	from the echo Jinx and yeah well it's
749s	the unlevel decar attacking which is
750s	actually unusual at turn five because
753s	like when this guy Champion comes on
754s	turn four it's automatically leveled in
756s	my experience yeah I mean I think I from
758s	what from what we can gather from this
760s	tilty took that advantage of knowing uh
762s	there's not potentially wasn't
764s	potentially much removal one goes to
766s	driver's side and just slammed it and
767s	he's getting very very uh
770s	favorable position here he manages to
772s	get a jinx level up I don't is Echo Echo
774s	didn't even level up either right yeah
776s	so how far away is it
778s	I think it's one off now and unusual
781s	level up Jinx on turn five in this deck
784s	it's very rare but we see double drop
786s	border on the board like those also in
788s	my experience like those come by default
790s	on turn two you have three of them
792s	I mean there's also the chance that uh
794s	those reporters were drawn because that
796s	would explain the such an empty hand as
797s	well yeah most definitely like if there
799s	were if they were predicted if any we
801s	would see probably Echo level up by now
803s	but since they are on board he's
805s	probably just hand drone which is an
806s	awful experience ecology Explorer
809s	because the way you want to get them out
810s	is from your deck not from your hand
813s	yeah and let's pass the shot though is
815s	gonna remove this drink tilty wasn't
817s	able to to find maybe something like a
820s	uh get excited to get a rocket or
822s	anything like that so that's gonna give
824s	Ghost Driver a little bit of a sort of
826s	breathing room here uh is that 5 HP and
829s	there is a voices coming down which is
831s	gonna be tough on the next swing
834s	um but is starting to be able to build
836s	up that board
837s	yeah so here killed it was looking most
839s	likely for the Chrono break so if you
840s	could resurrect his uh Jinx and
843s	stabilize the board from there again
845s	there is a lot of burn in the deck
848s	Blaster driver is at 5 HP so they're
850s	linguistic shots and there are Rockets
851s	to close the game the questions can you
853s	find them fast enough to actually do
856s	that again you have a pretty strong part
858s	you have elusive coming down with the
860s	voices on the board so if you manages to
862s	find something like a Mystic shot with
863s	that uh blocking then we might see
866s	little from the beauty
868s	of the ground I mean clock clean Chrono
870s	break uh all will do it another Jinx
872s	potentially could do it um uh there's a
875s	lot of options here for tilted I mean
876s	even in the prior Township uh as you
878s	mentioned Chrono break would have done
879s	it but in the second Jinx would have
881s	also done it because it would have
882s	generated a rocket yeah most definitely
884s	so we'll see probably starting with the
885s	clock link to have a man up so you like
887s	he can follow up with the echo Origins
890s	if they are drawn because again a
891s	reminder clock link this comes by one uh
895s	mana and the cards that he predicts and
897s	draws
898s	so we might see here a little tilt it is
900s	thinking if he wants to predict first
902s	with the Buckeye but if you want to play
905s	this uh as a second card probably to
907s	find a proper top deck for the next
909s	round and we see Jinx fine that's a
911s	really really big one
913s	yeah you have to play the predictor at
915s	the end because if you play the predict
917s	from the clock link it will traffic your
918s	deck and you won't get the card that
921s	you're trying to get and predicts is
922s	such a powerful uh tool for this deck
925s	what they really want to do is control
926s	their draw turn after turn
929s	um to make sure they can set themselves
930s	up to be in the most optimal situations
932s	a bit unfortunate tilted hasn't uh been
935s	able to get to the corona breaks because
937s	obviously Echo isn't leveled so there
938s	aren't any I don't believe
948s	but yeah you're right there was no out
950s	of the Chrono break and that that this
952s	is a very interesting turn because there
954s	are few uh angles you can take as a jinx
957s	player you can hear just go for predict
959s	and just try to set up a rocket for next
961s	turn but you also have to stay alive so
963s	I think his best bet is try to connect
966s	with the clock link do you see there is
970s	no response with elusive on that clock
972s	link you see there is no Buster shot you
974s	are almost certain that uh if the
976s	cluster had a answer to that clothing it
979s	would have came down because again there
982s	you'll see the visible two cars from the
983s	custom driver so if this connects you
986s	have to just stay alive the next turn
987s	and then connect with the rocket or the
989s	potential distinction object is there
991s	any particular reason you don't swing
992s	with more tilted hick is removing the
994s	you want to you do want to kind of get
995s	rid of some of these impacts right
996s	because that's how you die from just
998s	like if he has like again there are two
1001s	covered cars you don't know about
1003s	and I'm really surprised that uh Dr
1006s	driver choose not to oh yeah we see
1008s	Mystic shot he chose not to play around
1010s	the Mystic shot in the hand or top deck
1013s	from the
1014s	that makes sense because we didn't get a
1016s	chance to see the predictor he must have
1017s	predicted the Mystic shot and known that
1018s	would be enough
1019s	yeah and and also like it doesn't matter
1021s	what he predicts he still can play a
1023s	card into the Jinx therefore he has
1025s	still a baron in the hand all he needs
1027s	to do is just not die next turn and also
1030s	gospel driver choose not to play elusive
1032s	in that the manner of the protecting
1034s	himself from the elusive hit so he had
1037s	an option to play around it he chose not
1038s	to he had a different game plan there
1040s	and he got punished for that
1042s	yeah I mean it's it's tough uh it's a
1045s	tough matchup in general because when in
1048s	general what usually ends up happening
1049s	is the Corona breaks with the consistent
1051s	attacks will end up actually withering a
1054s	lot of the the Tristana Dex board and
1057s	then they're forced to block a lot of
1058s	the time in this case we didn't see that
1060s	happen we saw just straight out burning
1061s	elusives but in general that's how that
1063s	matchup ends up going
1064s	we'll see if you're a mirror liner
1066s	perhaps we don't know but they may be
1068s	practiced together we see a few changes
1070s	here like we see a Teemo in the Trista
1072s	builds list in the opposition to tilt it
1074s	who just runs and Nars and three
1076s	standards only but pretty much the same
1078s	lineup one player choose to ban Echo
1080s	Jinx second players so definitely they
1082s	have different game plans uh for their
1085s	own and we have remaining from the
1088s	Tilted that we stand a Nerf himself and
1090s	he has to beat only one of the decks to
1092s	go to next round
1094s	yeah I had to put uh tilty there in a
1097s	good position to have uh to take this
1099s	because two Chances with this bilgewater
1102s	list should hopefully be enough
1105s	yeah we see that we started already on
1107s	the opening uh blastcon is probably the
1111s	worst cut in the deck but you want this
1113s	because it's a multi-region yeah at
1114s	least three throw away grandfather they
1116s	face the most definitely the best one
1117s	elusive is also the best one and you
1119s	hold the three standard you will just
1120s	call the premium cards uh That Swing the
1123s	early game by producing a lot of early a
1126s	lot of all which further discount your
1129s	bundle Gunners which is your power card
1131s	in combination with prize fights it's
1133s	such a devastating
1135s	character to play against look in the
1137s	mirror yeah do you think uh gross is
1139s	going to go for the double trade-off
1140s	here I think so and then both players
1141s	are probably going to expend one of
1143s	their pings here to just remove their
1145s	opponent's units and this is going to be
1146s	back to square one
1148s	yeah so already tilted shown that he has
1150s	a fast spelling defend he chose not to
1152s	play it right away but you have to do it
1154s	this round because there is a Shepherd
1155s	potential punish next turn and then the
1158s	elusive doesn't die to Pink so you have
1160s	to remove it this turn and the same goes
1161s	for roster driver you should be opted to
1163s	remove the elusive this turn to play
1165s	around the weapon but the gospel driver
1167s	just choose not to so there is a
1169s	potential punish here
1171s	again does get the bundle city mayor
1174s	here oh he just goes out in the open
1176s	okay
1177s	yeah I mean actually yeah it's the same
1179s	but it also gives your opponents you
1182s	pass the action over right so then you
1183s	can see what your opponent potentially
1184s	does yeah it's better technically
1186s	you see an extra card and you get to do
1189s	a soft pass by passing an action with
1191s	the slower's hospital
1193s	yeah which I quite like I think that's
1195s	fantastic From Grace because now he
1196s	knows there's a bundle in on the board
1197s	campaign instead of going uh abandoned
1200s	city Mary himself can go for the fake
1202s	grandfather fade plus uh The Owl and go
1204s	for a swing and guess what this is a
1206s	very interesting play because you had
1208s	two approaches you can ramp the board
1209s	faster or you can choose to play mayor
1213s	and have a better Mana but the gospel
1215s	driver probably has some more experience
1216s	into this matchup and he knows Mana is
1219s	not an issue in this matchup uh like
1221s	overall you'll be looking for the
1223s	trading your board and pushing damage is
1225s	more important than ramping the Mana so
1228s	because you can feel the board way
1230s	easier uh in opposition to dealing the
1234s	damage because there there will be a
1236s	point where there is a stallmate and
1238s	only joins with like elusive weak attack
1240s	or just trading favoritely with like a
1243s	bundle Gunners with three impact will be
1245s	attacking yeah and also delaying it by
1247s	turn isn't the biggest thing is you can
1248s	just you can play Battle City man this
1250s	turn along with the second uh Fey right
1252s	uh you get the second round further fade
1254s	down and then you're fine because it's a
1256s	one cost you develop the white board and
1257s	the next one you have more clocklings
1259s	and Tristan and whatever you want to do
1261s	at this point I think custom driver
1262s	wants to plan out to develop Tristana
1264s	into Shepherd for his next uh swing uh
1269s	next time he can do that so
1272s	while that is great look how big these
1275s	owls are gonna get
1277s	yeah so there are two lines you can take
1278s	you can go with the All City or you can
1280s	go with Tristana into weapon
1285s	we have also like the shepherd weapon is
1287s	so big in this matchup like you you
1289s	mainly look for either overwhelmed
1291s	weapon if you get to put it on Tristana
1292s	or you look for like a quick attack on
1294s	the all in this matchup because it's
1296s	very hard to remove all due to this
1298s	battle shield and the nature of the
1299s	beings
1303s	because there is no uh opponents to
1305s	stand on the board so the risk of the
1306s	Buster shot is lower but when he gets
1309s	punished for the bastard shot usually
1311s	players opt to play Tristana after she's
1313s	leveled up to avoid losing to master
1316s	shot
1317s	uh yeah I mean it's definitely trying to
1319s	get that weapon Smith down
1321s	um from Ghost to drive and obviously got
1323s	punished for going that line
1325s	um there was there was a consideration
1328s	potentially to to not obviously go that
1331s	line as we spoke about but now uh ghost
1334s	drive opting or going for the Allen so
1335s	that the grandfather Faye going just for
1337s	the three damage I think just goes okay
1338s	three damage is a good enough threshold
1340s	to attack with it I think he planned to
1342s	play Timo in case of blast cone that
1344s	that was his alternate plan because he
1346s	was like I'm pushing like if he has no
1348s	blast cone I have very good attack
1349s	anyway and I want to get the swing
1352s	distance regardless so he because he had
1354s	the ultimate play where he could play
1356s	grandfather into all which is
1357s	technically more damage on the board but
1360s	again it's weak to blast cold which is a
1362s	great defensive fool with barrier
1365s	and that is overwhelmed on nah that is
1367s	not what goes the driver wants to see
1370s	yeah and there is your interaction on
1372s	the gospel driver hand that's really
1374s	really bad because like you have just
1376s	units like and you're starting to take
1378s	the damage now from the album weapon
1380s	because it breaks the through the
1382s	blockers so you can't just jump block an
1384s	R forever yeah the next thing is Ghost
1386s	Driver hasn't drawn any of the other key
1388s	cards in this matchup that help him win
1390s	there's no price fights there's no
1392s	bandal Gunners there's no any of the
1395s	sort of pink combos to use with price
1397s	fights
1398s	um
1399s	yeah from next turn yeah from the king's
1402s	court from next turn but yes it's the
1403s	only the one and that is unfortunately
1405s	not gonna necessarily be enough
1408s	this matchup is about preserving hpe and
1411s	also like you have a board space issues
1413s	so you look for those trades obviously
1416s	yeah you in this map you just block
1417s	every day you've got like a million
1419s	units in your hands both players have a
1420s	million you just save HP save or here's
1424s	a Shepherd is there's the overall
1426s	overwhelm let's go baby
1429s	that is exactly what goes to driver
1431s	needs to have a chance in this match
1432s	unfortunately there is an answer on
1434s	tilted side
1436s	yeah so uh tier to choose not to use a
1439s	ping earlier and to get generate another
1443s	Pocky stick with another I think it's
1446s	due to the fact that his hand is quite
1447s	heavy and he wants to catch up on the
1449s	board so he was opting more for the ramp
1452s	from the Mana than getting more value
1455s	out of the Pocky stick and he choose not
1457s	to play he chooses to keep hockey stick
1459s	in the hand for the
1461s	um for the combat in case of open attack
1464s	I'm completely fine with this I think
1466s	it's fine uh the slow spell is a little
1468s	bit clunky in this matchup
1470s	um to do one thing so getting that out
1472s	now is fine and keeping that Pokey for
1474s	something at sort of fast speed maybe a
1476s	response to a price by or something
1479s	similar
1480s	yeah but that's a Kings card coming with
1482s	the fish fight and price fight in hand
1484s	this attack will be pretty major uh
1487s	coming from the gospel driver
1490s	and we see the mayor in response oh the
1493s	blast cone is not too bad
1495s	yeah he choose to go for it for to get a
1497s	barrier
1498s	because he expects there will be one
1500s	more pass priority from the gospel
1501s	driver to develop fish walk yep
1506s	yeah unfortunately the blood count
1508s	cannot block uh King's Court I believe
1510s	only Now is really gonna have to block
1512s	this
1513s	I think you just take the damage from
1514s	the king's part because there is a good
1517s	chance there will be prize fight coming
1518s	on the Nars so he cannot block it as
1520s	well
1523s	depends if Gusto driver opts to go for
1525s	for damage or he opts to go for the
1529s	um
1530s	for the board so the reason also a great
1534s	power if not does die hit I mean not
1536s	most likely gonna die here but the
1538s	getting that overwhelm uh weapon back
1540s	into the hand allows for him to re-equip
1542s	it on something like the band all
1543s	gunners
1545s	yeah most definitely you uh gospel
1548s	driver has no real good refill just yet
1551s	so like if he if this board strides off
1553s	uh yeah we have some car to draw but
1555s	again next turn is looking into the
1557s	green for the Guster driver while tilted
1559s	trend is looking for a pretty solid
1561s	Refuge
1563s	questions just tilted get oh tilted just
1565s	passed it doesn't go up for the Pokemon
1566s	team mode just saying okay I can have
1568s	some shrooms in my deck the the odds of
1570s	drawing them are going to be quite low
1571s	and I'm just going to deal with that
1574s	I think what's the deal that he's
1576s	valuing that he knows that there will be
1578s	no other cocky generation and he wants
1580s	to have that as an option in combination
1583s	with the prize fight it will take off
1585s	the key targets
1589s	again this grandfather face gonna allow
1591s	this bundle Gunners to drop down all the
1592s	way to four which is fantastic
1595s	um he's got the blast cone again which
1596s	will drop it down to three
1598s	uh which is going to be such a great
1600s	turn Kings Court off the top yeah this
1604s	is just rocking the top the assistant is
1605s	so premium it's packed with only good
1608s	stuff and he has amazing weapons to
1610s	follow up quick attack we mentioned at
1613s	this that's out of the game those are
1615s	the premium weapons in this matchup
1617s	and I mean there is there is a line here
1620s	from tilted sideway he can preemptively
1623s	use the price fight here to allow the
1625s	king's court to hit him for seven
1626s	because right now there is no blockers
1629s	that can block Brash on the side of
1631s	ghost to drive it's in hand as well
1633s	yeah but again we have to keep in mind
1634s	there is Samana opened for us to travel
1636s	so even if you go for the price fight
1638s	here there is a good chance you lose out
1640s	on the like the development and uh but
1644s	there is a chance you can just utilize
1645s	the price fight on your all because it
1648s	has the spell shoot so it doesn't get
1651s	punished with a potential pings
1654s	I mean we're gonna uh right now guys a
1657s	tilted should know there isn't anything
1658s	right for two Mana in this deck that
1660s	yeah
1661s	there shouldn't be anything so this lion
1663s	will now be fantastic
1666s	is this a potential little with one
1669s	price fight
1671s	over overwhelm
1675s	that all becomes the brush after the
1677s	price fight as well
1680s	so this is 7 10 11 plus 213 not quite
1686s	it's really close it's really really
1689s	close
1691s	turn
1693s	um you give overwhelm to blascon right
1697s	that's a very good question I think so
1700s	the problem is the blast cone is
1702s	removable technically and you want to
1705s	commit your like again your hand is
1706s	heavy like you want to be able to
1708s	utilize your mother properly and you
1710s	want to close the game the next swing
1713s	it well it is removable it would be
1715s	ghostrobo's last two cards uh two Mana
1718s	it'd have to be a price fight combo with
1719s	a ping
1721s	yeah but that goes on the anyway it goes
1724s	on the king's card anyway oh he's just
1728s	gonna give Brash to it instead and then
1730s	play overwhelm on a third unit
1736s	or triple Brash plus over one that
1738s	should be it there's Pokey in hand too
1742s	the overwhelm will be pushing on The
1745s	Wire that's pushing another two
1747s	so that's 6 7 14 17 that's exactly
1751s	Italian
1753s	so let's see if tilt it goes for it
1754s	because that's gonna be game when he's
1756s	going for it oh no that's one of because
1758s	yeah it's one off but when there is a
1760s	Pocky stick which will give you little
1761s	yeah that's 17.
1764s	Tilden says it and it should be rough
1767s	because there is no counter Play From
1769s	The Gospel driver
1771s	yeah I mean now that the ghost Drive is
1773s	tapped out that this will be uh tilted
1776s	taking this
1777s	beautifully played by deal that seemed a
1780s	little
1785s	and down to one finished type of the
1787s	Poke stick beautiful turn
1789s	thank you masterful plate yeah it's
1793s	unfortunate though that ghoster didn't
1794s	have any sort of interaction pretty much
1797s	all that game right he wasn't able to
1800s	find any of those key cards that helped
1802s	sort of in the trade-offs uh the same so
1805s	to sort of help stabilize or even just
1807s	push the extra bit of damage got
1808s	punished by the Buster shots
1810s	twice on both of his tristanas which was
1812s	really unfortunate
1814s	um and that's probably where the game
1816s	started to fall really downhill for him
1817s	overall clean serious from the field
1820s	like very well played recognizing the
1823s	winning patterns ahead of the time yeah
1826s	people are players are getting way
1829s	better at the game over time we can see
1831s	the jump in the play year by year uh
1835s	yeah and unfortunately because it is a
1837s	top 64 single elimination that will be
1839s	the end
1840s	coaster driver so that is his run done
1844s	unfortunately and tilted we'll be moving
1845s	on to the top 32 and uh ghost will be
1848s	getting those three points we've been
1849s	seeing he's still going to be happy
1850s	there's points uh which are in scarcity
1852s	to be able to get so even just getting
1854s	those three is going to be fantastic I
1856s	mean we have to give the ghost away this
1857s	is the one of the most if not the most
1859s	consistent players he was back to back
1861s	in almost every if not every season as
1863s	before and now he qualifies to all the
1866s	other Evie Top Cut events the man is
1868s	absolutely mad man he is a beast in
1871s	terms of competitive play he's the prime
1873s	example of consistency which is
1876s	fantastic and we are going to be hopping
1878s	into another match here in the top 64.
1881s	uh we'll wait and see who it is and it's
1883s	at least I got the Cs against uh shulu
1885s	Flippy
1886s	oh that is another three Stana into
1889s	atrox Queen vein I would believe
1891s	and we have that's a very empty hand
1893s	from the vein atrox deck which is
1897s	unusual in this matchup because again
1899s	you have a lot of Premium trades with
1901s	like quick attack weapons usually but
1903s	again the deck struggles if you don't
1905s	draw your needs or if you don't draw
1906s	weapons in the correct order
1908s	yeah from from just looking at this it
1910s	was most like his stuff like a fleet
1911s	feather tracker right just trading off
1913s	maybe a valid without any weapons the
1916s	Top Decatur is not bad that's fantastic
1918s	that's exactly what uh at least I've got
1920s	the Cs really wanted and it is one one
1922s	so this is the final game for this match
1923s	for these two players oh but the three
1925s	Stella will be connecting to the face
1927s	with quick attack and there is no
1928s	counter play to that
1932s	you have to sacrifice vein or eight
1933s	rocks or she's coming downtown for cold
1936s	and damage
1939s	I mean it is well it is 10 damage you do
1941s	heal two next time instead like no no
1944s	foot behind it oh send it send it down
1947s	baby there is no fault behind Trading
1951s	I mean next time you do have the uh
1954s	atrox uh Champion spell which is
1956s	fantastic to remove if you want to so
1958s	you can swing in if they don't block you
1960s	still have the option to remove Tristana
1962s	it's not ideal
1964s	um but it gives you that option there
1966s	this is a very interesting turn because
1968s	he can opt to use the quick attack or
1971s	the tumble on the eight rocks flip the
1974s	weapon if we use the weapon to heal up
1976s	put a quick attack on the eight rocks so
1979s	he can start healing up he chooses to
1981s	use it on the vein instead
1985s	is to leveling oh she's leveling this
1988s	turn
1991s	that's that that does potentially pose a
1994s	problem however though
1996s	um as we can see
1997s	it has look how many blood scones he has
2000s	in his head he could block for days
2001s	right he plays barrier barrier
2006s	I don't think you care about blocking I
2008s	think you just jump block and you put
2010s	impact on those
2011s	again you go for detail next turn I
2013s	don't think you care about blocking at
2014s	all you just jump it
2018s	you play the you just block with the
2020s	grandfather Faye here and just double up
2023s	thinking if it's yeah it's got other pay
2026s	for sure blog because they attack the
2028s	additional damage on the attack isn't as
2030s	relevant as the impact yeah you kill if
2032s	you keep all the impact
2035s	okay double blocks yeah I mean he has a
2037s	full development anyway
2042s	yeah losing a single impact here is fine
2043s	keeps his health a little bit on the
2045s	safe side
2047s	is to just kill Tristana with badge
2050s	better oh no wait you can't you can use
2051s	it on the edge rocks yeah I think it
2053s	might be just to take down the Tristana
2054s	oh he chooses not he keeps it for the
2056s	combat
2058s	but when if he does it in the combat
2060s	when he's taking all the impact damage
2063s	yeah that's five straight up impact
2065s	damage yeah so like I'm not sure what's
2067s	what's the plan here and how the cars
2070s	like at least I got this yes condemned
2073s	that is perfect doesn't matter
2077s	yeah yeah it stops it stops the impact
2079s	yeah yeah but I'm looking at like you
2081s	are standing still at million impact
2082s	damage right there
2084s	you remove six of it though
2086s	yes on the board
2090s	so you use aatrox spell here first right
2093s	using aatrox spell here uh I think just
2096s	about keeps you alive
2100s	you heal too you keep atrox on the board
2104s	it's interesting turn
2111s	she's gonna I mean he can't Scout he
2117s	oh that's a very interesting sequencing
2123s	then he has he can utilize the strike
2126s	again this way
2129s	okay okay I can see that you utilize and
2131s	then you can resurrect atrox next turn
2134s	but you need a unit you need this badge
2136s	bar to be alive next turn then
2138s	because you need to close the game
2140s	somehow
2142s	where's you you can utilize the strike
2144s	again that is absolutely flippy um
2147s	doesn't just open right and develops so
2150s	it's I like it because they'll play
2151s	around uh an additional development
2154s	um but if there is the open attack it
2156s	shouldn't matter that much
2159s	I mean if you can just sacrifice eight
2160s	drops in the front of the other impact
2163s	and he can condemn uh with the other
2166s	unit
2167s	so this way you are preventing pretty
2169s	much
2171s	six eight nine impact damage and you
2174s	prevent uh for a generation of the
2176s	Pokemon
2177s	oh that's another oh he went for The
2180s	Wider board he didn't choose to go for
2182s	the impact for the grinder you want to
2184s	close the game now
2187s	yeah is that is that enough to survive
2189s	though from at least I've got this yes
2191s	so close so at this point you know that
2194s	opponent has another vein probably and
2196s	that's a condemn like you have to have a
2198s	reader at this point that like if a
2199s	point is passing here that has to be
2201s	another spell because like obviously you
2203s	would develop a unit right so you know
2205s	this is a strike spell most likely you
2207s	know it's not a fish fight because it
2209s	would have dropped down it could be plus
2211s	two plus two from there at least I got
2213s	this yes
2214s	or it can be condemned
2216s	or second vein which is also a condom
2220s	yeah and I like the ordering here uh on
2223s	the blocks because you don't want to
2225s	give Nara a poke stick here
2228s	um
2229s	yeah you can Phantom block this way you
2231s	could have also done it on the 3-2 but
2233s	effectively it's the same amount of
2234s	Damages if they get a poke stick
2237s	yeah but you don't want to give them
2239s	cardrow
2241s	like it's another card for no absolute
2244s	reason maybe he wants to opt so keep a
2246s	condemned and just uh ignore Tristana
2248s	for now
2250s	you don't you can't I mean
2253s	the thing is you need this yeah like you
2255s	need this batch better and you need to
2257s	plan your next turn
2258s	you also have to hope there's no prize
2260s	fights as well
2262s	you have to hope that last card in
2264s	slowly flippy-san isn't a press fight
2266s	the problem is like how do you win you
2268s	if you do those you lose your vein you
2270s	lose your eight locks you lose this
2271s	badge bear you have no board like you
2274s	like you have no units well like you're
2276s	the only thing you'll have is the dark
2278s	in next turn attacking for eight
2279s	throwing Q2 cards I mean if it draws
2282s	units then you're happy but yeah it's
2284s	still I mean it just needs to be two or
2286s	like if those new needs to be three or
2288s	less cost because again if you want to
2290s	be having Commander to play them no
2291s	sorry yeah I mean vane survives so we
2294s	have that oh there is a ping in there
2297s	that's definitely connecting on that
2302s	yeah and now you're in an issue where
2304s	you need to win the game somehow and you
2306s	are starting at impact damage you are
2308s	staring at probably potentially uh two
2311s	wider board so you have one blocker
2313s	against four attackers coming out at you
2315s	next attack from the shoulder hand I
2318s	mean there was a consideration obviously
2320s	from Lulu to not kill the vein just so
2323s	that the uh the dark in unit can't come
2326s	down
2328s	I think you have to kill Zane I don't
2330s	like if you again if there is a darking
2332s	coming down again it will come down
2333s	anyway because you just flip the weapon
2335s	with the eight trucks and when you
2336s	develop so it comes down really no
2338s	nonetheless
2339s	the only question is if you're gonna
2341s	what you're gonna draw if you're gonna
2342s	draw spells oh it's a it's a tough game
2345s	fish fight is playable
2349s	but you are looking mostly for the units
2351s	in the spot
2356s	there's another eight trucks that is
2358s	huge uh
2360s	yeah it utilizes the origin stops the
2364s	block of of Gnar to trade in any way
2367s	capacity with like fish fight pings that
2369s	sort of stuff
2370s	the important part is to force a block
2373s	here because you for you present little
2375s	so again if you're low roll on the draws
2378s	and you don't get units or you get some
2381s	too expensive units like the vein or
2384s	badge better now you can't play them
2386s	that's the downside of developing weapon
2387s	but the Ops on the upside you are
2389s	forcing a block so you are potentially
2392s	getting one less attacker which is as
2395s	good as getting another uh Blocker in
2398s	the spot and we see a badge Bearer but
2400s	that's huge value for zero
2403s	yeah the follower is very big at having
2405s	that block and being able to block out
2408s	Nar on the attack
2410s	yeah his at least I've got the Cs able
2413s	to potentially stabilize here there is a
2416s	price fight is
2420s	yeah that's you have this one with
2423s	overwhelm yeah
2425s	like and if he chooses not to block Nar
2427s	no he can't he has to yeah it's just
2429s	straight up living with him on that
2430s	price right
2433s	well played really well set up little
2435s	here again uh there was potential
2438s	veteran sequencing maybe from the at
2440s	least I got CS keeping both badge bear
2442s	and vein alive and just taking an extra
2445s	point of the damage instead and making
2447s	your opponent uh make a choice you which
2449s	one he wants to kill because if he kills
2451s	the vein then upon can get an aetrox uh
2455s	by playing the world under next turn if
2457s	he chooses to play kill Badger when
2459s	there is a vein of the generation of the
2461s	spell and that can keep attacking Q
2463s	where both two swings presenting her
2465s	little so you have to block her out yeah
2467s	and also you have to actually while uh
2469s	if you were able to keep an extra unit
2471s	alive yes you take one more that time be
2473s	potentially block war of the turn after
2478s	all right we'll be jumping into the the
2480s	break and waiting for the next round

3516s	and we are back everyone for the next
3520s	round here at the world's qualify open
3522s	for those of you guys who are just
3524s	tuning in you just missed our top 64
3528s	rounds of matches where we had a great
3530s	series of matches between tilted and
3533s	ghoster Driver here where a ghoster
3535s	driver was able to win a comfortable two
3537s	uh tilty was able to win a comfortable
3538s	2-0 against ghoster driver with Echo
3540s	Jinx and here's Chris uh Vandal City and
3544s	on top of that we also had uh schlu
3546s	flippy win against at least I got this
3548s	the Cs where we saw his aatrox vane lose
3552s	against a vandal Tristana list fantastic
3555s	matches that we saw in the round top 64
3557s	and we are going to be going into the
3560s	top 32 in just a moment
3563s	yeah this was a very high level series
3566s	because again we I we have to mention
3568s	that like people are getting better and
3571s	better over time and there was like a
3573s	very clean sequencing and the line of
3575s	the place taking the winning lines
3577s	players stopped playing around every
3579s	possible cards in the deck and they are
3581s	just going for the win which is the
3583s	important part so really we can
3585s	appreciate those lines and uh plays as
3588s	the spectators
3590s	yeah it was fantastic and speaking of
3593s	fantastic matches oh boy have we got
3596s	guys got for you a fantastic next round
3599s	for the top 32. I'm Gonna Keep it a
3602s	little secret for now just have to say
3604s	um apologies for the start late or start
3606s	on the first round uh we had to go
3608s	straight after APAC so we had to jump in
3610s	a little bit late but unfortunately that
3611s	unfortunately that is it so now every
3614s	match we should be good to go and try to
3615s	give you as much action as possible if I
3618s	had some Karma set a game playing the
3620s	finals so like it took a bit longer than
3623s	expected
3624s	that is true and we are going to be
3626s	hopefully looking at the decks for our
3628s	next match shortly and it is going to be
3631s	between uh salty Simon here who's
3634s	brought the Fizz uh Samira the Bando de
3638s	martio version and Echo Jinx here what
3641s	are you thinking about these decks here
3643s	those are this is pretty much a standard
3645s	lineup you were going into open because
3647s	those decks on their own are so strong
3650s	and can just win by like you don't care
3654s	about what's Upon A doing you are just
3655s	playing your own game and you don't care
3657s	what they do and you just have a such a
3659s	powerful swing uh Echo Jinks having
3661s	their Echo level on four five and
3664s	getting the drawing into the Chrono
3666s	break on top of having either Jinx or a
3669s	voice on the board who are building up
3671s	the board with Tristana into Champions
3673s	intro Champions League just swinging
3675s	twice with that Scout or fish Samira
3677s	just smacking you a bunch of times and
3679s	when playing monkeys back to back and
3681s	just burning you down yeah the only
3683s	interesting card I can see is the
3684s	one-off chain vest in the bandwidth list
3687s	which is I quite like
3689s	um plays around sort of Pinks from other
3691s	decks and can potentially win uh and
3694s	help winning sort of mirrors and that
3695s	sort of stuff that's a very good one-off
3697s	card especially in the open declares
3699s	because it gets into your opponent's
3701s	mind and to some people make the like
3704s	you can have a read that upon have it
3706s	you can Bluff it that you have it and
3708s	you also make sometimes opponents play
3709s	around it which is not the most optimal
3712s	line so having one of chain first which
3714s	is a great value especially for cards
3716s	like even at ristana where like in the
3718s	Tristan Amir or against Echo Jinx where
3720s	this one extra point of the tough where
3723s	there are coming multiple instances of
3725s	damage it's already prevent I think two
3727s	points of damage for one point of mana
3729s	and that's that better speed yeah it's
3731s	also fantastic into the bundle mirror as
3733s	well because they run a lot of one
3735s	damage pings and you can use that just
3736s	to negate those and keep a bit more of
3738s	the board presence alive so I like it
3741s	and as you mentioned it's a fantastic
3743s	sort of one-off tech and
3745s	we're going to see his opponents soon
3747s	the reason I said this is a fantastic
3748s	matchup because it's solely Simon as we
3750s	know fantastic play has been around the
3751s	block for years he's played in countless
3754s	tournaments made it to Top Cut as well
3757s	and his opponent also in that similar
3759s	vein is she who and we everyone knows
3762s	she who at this point fantastic player
3764s	from Poland Allen's former teammate
3767s	you've played with him loads you know
3769s	what he likes to play and he's
3770s	definitely brought a little bit of shihu
3772s	spice here oh That's a classic just
3774s	close your eyes and bring what I like to
3777s	play this time he at least brought a
3779s	good Dex that actually wins the game uh
3782s	the action Pantheon is a more of a spice
3785s	deck but again you already locked
3786s	yourself into Samira piece the usual
3789s	choice is Samira Pantheon which is just
3790s	as it has a stronger level of the
3793s	pattern place and then action Pantheon
3796s	but again if you are comfortable and you
3798s	bring Samira fees and you want to still
3800s	play a Pantheon and which is excellent
3803s	into the all the three standard decks
3806s	with the having a decent board presence
3809s	and combat tricks and then going into
3811s	the echo Jinks with all the specials
3814s	making the quicksand all the combat
3816s	tricks uh not really effective into you
3819s	yes such a good cards to have in in this
3821s	sort of meta our quicksand and hush
3823s	there's so many decks where it does
3825s	fantastic against
3826s	um it does great into Echo Jinx
3828s	especially the hush it does great
3829s	interface Samira for the elusives if you
3831s	have to deal with them or even uh you
3833s	can hush some of I guess if you
3834s	absolutely need to you can hush the
3835s	monkeys
3837s	um it's fantastic into Samira itself
3838s	it's just an all-round fantastic premium
3841s	cars right now in the current meta
3844s	has the access to right of negation
3846s	which is excellent into the Samira fees
3848s	because the current Samira fees doesn't
3850s	have the top end that it had before
3852s	which is like a Spam of The Parables
3855s	with the Shelley and now instead it goes
3859s	leans towards early drops we're having
3861s	triple elegant Edge and triple Jack
3863s	departure and when it looks to get an
3866s	early monkeys to just stop close the
3868s	game and those right of negations are
3870s	pretty crucial and you can throw them
3871s	consistently consistently by having
3873s	multiple products in the deck that is
3876s	the first American Buckeye or popping
3877s	the actions Landmark at
3881s	two copies
3882s	are actually way way
3885s	more efficiently drawn into that matchup
3888s	because you can look for it
3890s	yeah and also you have to consider she
3892s	was running a slightly uh I guess more
3895s	aggressive list there's no Inferno uh in
3898s	this deck no I uh of nakaka Boris in
3900s	this deck which we've seen some other
3901s	players bring in the Fizz uh the Vista
3904s	muralist which
3905s	um helping the sort of the longer slower
3907s	matches so it's very much a more all-in
3909s	variant here from shoe oh shuku is all
3911s	about the face yeah we see even that far
3914s	more going in we see the monkey business
3916s	oh here he's in the business with that
3921s	yeah it's looking fantastic if he was
3923s	able to get the sort of the early game
3925s	plan is activating uh that will be it's
3929s	just it's Steamrollers right if you get
3930s	them early game Monkey Business not only
3932s	do you get to push for a little bit of
3933s	damage you also get a Blocker on the
3934s	following turn and vice versa you can
3936s	generate a block and then an attacker on
3938s	the next turn if you get the perfect
3940s	activators which is just so premium I'd
3942s	love that card in this list obviously it
3944s	isn't always optimal because sometimes
3946s	it can end up being a dead card you are
3948s	heavily reliant on drawing Samira
3950s	warning shots uh and stylish shots
3953s	um to be able to make full use of that
3955s	so your classic uh your classic play
3958s	pattern is either if you attack on two
3960s	butchered elegant match or if you're
3963s	attacking on free it's just Samira into
3965s	double battery with elegant Edge and
3967s	you're just coming down for 11 while
3970s	dealing with one we're embarrassed with
3972s	the some warning shot or the flare from
3975s	the Samira and then like if you sneak in
3978s	six damage here oh double monkey got
3980s	your back
3981s	yeah
3982s	yeah one other thing we have to also
3984s	discuss as well from shoes this is the
3985s	amount of number one off to hear in
3987s	here's a in his uh in his Pantheon list
3990s	which which could play a potential issue
3993s	because it will impact consistency uh
3995s	we're gonna be moving to the pick and
3996s	ban phase now and hopefully see what
3999s	these players are going to be banning
4000s	what your predictions Alan what do you
4001s	think the target bands for both of these
4003s	players are going to be
4005s	Echo Jinx is an excellent uh into the
4008s	whole Simon lineup so the expected
4011s	[Music]
4014s	and in terms of who
4017s	it's probably Echo drinks as well the
4020s	deck is just consistent in terms of what
4023s	it does due to the all the predicts and
4026s	like it can be very high rolly if you
4028s	don't have any responsiveness on top of
4030s	that like in terms of when you play it
4031s	against uh fish Samira the right of
4034s	negation uh stopping your potential data
4036s	with the monkeys it's also very annoying
4038s	yes and while that right is also just a
4041s	one-off because of the Exchange number
4043s	of predicts in that deck uh salty Simon
4046s	can obviously elect to take that earlier
4047s	in the game should he see it if they've
4049s	got enough prediction hand they can go
4050s	okay I'm gonna take this tonight in
4051s	preparation and they have tons of
4054s	opportunities just to search for it
4056s	yeah definitely and the action Pantheon
4059s	is pretty well packed with the early
4062s	drop units so it should be battling well
4064s	into the action Jinx so there might be
4067s	opt into buying the champion strength
4070s	deck but again Champion strength deck
4072s	like into Vista Mira it should be too
4074s	slow to matter against Echo jinx it
4077s	could be a factor because Echo drinks
4080s	does not close the game that fast as the
4082s	other decks and against and Pantheon uh
4086s	actions should be excellent into the
4088s	Champions rank deck having two rides
4090s	that you can predict into and the whole
4092s	like way that trip yourself that wins is
4095s	on the backbone of the champion string
4097s	if it doesn't roll or it gets negated
4099s	like it Attack Just falls apart usually
4101s	because it doesn't have the power level
4103s	yeah and it's one issue as well with the
4106s	Champions track it doesn't the minimum
4107s	turn it comes down is usually turn six
4110s	um against stuff like this mirror
4111s	usually by that point you'd hope Fitz
4114s	and mirror will have at least what four
4115s	or five maybe even six blunders
4117s	activated
4118s	um which will just generate enough
4120s	blockers usually to either survive the
4122s	turn or just straight up do lethal from
4125s	the last breaths from the monkeys
4127s	it's very hard to trade with Samira fees
4130s	as a three standard X due to the one of
4133s	the One Drops is fearsome which is
4136s	problematic for you if you don't throw a
4138s	grandfather and the other one is free
4140s	free and your whole deck is too damaged
4143s	or two free and it's just like it's
4145s	awkward to deal with those and when you
4147s	have to spend money on the pinks to
4148s	finish them off it's just a rough for
4151s	the Tristana to handle the pressure
4153s	early without while maintaining a board
4155s	and if you happen to draw like double
4157s	Champion strap on top of it while you
4159s	having to battle with the board suddenly
4162s	your hand becomes very bricky in the
4165s	opposition to the beach water versions
4167s	which can trade the board and still
4169s	maintain the pressure of the bundle
4171s	Gunner's being more of the copies in
4173s	that than the champion strong version
4175s	yeah it's gonna be interesting to see
4178s	how this match plays out and where these
4181s	bands do eventually end up going
4184s	on that note do you reckon who do you
4185s	reckon is more likely to take it because
4187s	the matchup overall is gonna potentially
4189s	depending on the band to be very close
4190s	potentially even see a mirror here I
4193s	think Simon will lose twice with the
4195s	champion of strength deck
4197s	oh that's a bold bold claim Simon's not
4200s	gonna be happy to hear that I mean she
4202s	can win the first match based on the
4203s	outside left over but I think the the
4207s	fall will be the champion struggling
4209s	because it's just weak to to all that
4211s	the sheikho's decks
4214s	yeah I mean I suspect is the same thing
4217s	however though as we saw in APAC we saw
4219s	the demacia champion strike deck version
4221s	do actually incred pretty well uh making
4223s	it all the way I think there was a
4225s	couple in the semis so interesting to
4227s	see uh the very the decisions being made
4229s	by both these uh the players brought
4231s	here today so I'm elected for the
4232s	demartia version some detecting for the
4235s	bilgewater version what do you think why
4236s	do you think some people would choose
4237s	the demacio here like Simon has over the
4239s	bilgewater
4240s	the problem with the I mean you can
4242s	choose damasia because you have a bigger
4244s	power spike in the mid game and you can
4246s	just win the game based on the drawing
4249s	Champion strength and especially if
4250s	there is a lot of people who don't want
4252s	to play it on screen and this is the
4254s	deck you don't see on the latter that
4255s	often it is only anyway I don't know
4257s	about the N A but you don't get enough
4260s	practice into this deck making you not
4263s	being aware how you should pilot into it
4265s	you should be forcing all the trades you
4267s	can to strip their board to weaken the
4270s	champion strength and instead the
4273s	players hope to do just a slow value
4275s	trades and then opponent just take oh
4277s	I'll take the 10 to the face and I'll
4279s	just present you my Champion strength on
4281s	full board next turn so the crucial is
4283s	to pres serving an opponent's turn four
4286s	turn five big damage spikes with your
4289s	full board even if your units are not
4290s	ready efficiently there is also a bluff
4293s	Factor there is also top deck factor
4295s	that you can draw pinks you can draw a
4297s	removal that will even though if you
4299s	drew if you trade it in the future
4301s	you can still finish off the swings
4303s	later and the pawn doesn't have to be
4305s	and there is a good chance opponent will
4308s	not be blocking if they have Champion
4309s	strip they'll just soaking the damage
4311s	and you'll be looking for you'll be
4313s	looking to finish off the opponent later
4314s	on
4318s	how about that this action Pantheon as
4320s	you mentioned we spoke up a little bit a
4321s	little bit out earlier it's so the
4324s	slightly weaker version of the Samira
4326s	equivalent
4327s	um but as we said you get access to to
4330s	um
4331s	sharima which is fantastic because that
4334s	gives you the access to predicts as we
4336s	mentioned it's which will help sort of
4339s	the
4340s	Kitty right so the consistency is one of
4342s	those key things in the in a deck we see
4344s	predicts uh super perfect for trying to
4347s	find and control your draws over the
4350s	next couple of turns by giving you that
4351s	option of one of three uh and stuff like
4354s	that is gonna be fantastic against uh
4356s	all three of Simon's decks hopefully
4359s	um and we see the bands coming here as
4360s	you mentioned there's the echo Jinx
4362s	being banned on the side of salty Simon
4365s	yeah the circle taking down that deck
4367s	because again that's the most high rally
4368s	deck and there is the least introduction
4369s	you can have with it and Simon decides
4372s	to band The Samira fees again all the
4375s	bands from the Simon are pretty
4378s	uh
4379s	pretty uh accurate like again Echo Jinx
4384s	I would be probably the best choice
4386s	based on the matchup table but again he
4388s	might be more comfortable into playing
4390s	that matchup and Samira piece I will
4393s	find out during the game also noting on
4396s	the action a Pantheon side like there is
4398s	there are upsides and downsides you have
4400s	access to as you mentioned that oh we
4402s	have the echo Jinx actually banned from
4403s	the Simon site which uh yeah we expected
4406s	and we're jumping into the game and we
4408s	have this Samira mirror El classic
4411s	two drawers powder pandemonium let's go
4415s	on top of that it's obviously who can
4417s	get this sort of the early game damage
4418s	as we can see from she who he managed to
4420s	get the warning shot activator here oh
4422s	no it's time two so use the the stylish
4424s	shot cool
4425s	yeah so there was a counter play from
4427s	saldi Simon if you could have stopped
4428s	the damage and he could have presented
4431s	himself the 3-2 both players would be
4433s	down a stylish shot but same if Simon
4437s	didn't have the uh Fury the to one here
4441s	then he would probably opt last turn for
4443s	the steady shot into the three two to
4446s	the night from the circle the stylish
4448s	shot but since he had a good play for
4450s	the Sterner he opted more for the play
4452s	himself and getting stylish shot back
4455s	yeah I mean she has also got a great
4457s	option here with the pirouette uh can
4460s	pretty much shut down this entire turn
4462s	which I really like you don't
4464s	unfortunately get the plunder unless you
4466s	decide to throw away one of your stylish
4467s	shots but
4468s	you do have to try and force an action
4471s	here from Simon obviously we have that
4473s	all out that we can see which is going
4474s	to protect
4475s	uh premium you have a perfect answer
4478s	from the Simon the all-out to get that
4480s	stylish shot again there was a different
4482s	counter play where you let the fury die
4485s	and you just play monkey and you attack
4486s	with monkey and you get the mystery shot
4488s	because there is everyone like usual
4489s	trade
4490s	and both players drawing somewhere wow
4495s	the game is like no player will be left
4497s	behind this was a fair match you are
4499s	both drawing equally well you say that
4502s	but Simon's got powder in his head yeah
4505s	[Music]
4508s	but Simon did get a really awful
4510s	world-class card so I guess it's even
4512s	out oh that's a neat yeah I think that's
4515s	an easy pass from Simon you just have to
4517s	take like if you actually go past you
4520s	are happy if he and after he is Max you
4522s	you just probably uh smacks down the
4524s	Samira and fast and then you go into the
4526s	next turn
4528s	yeah usually in this matchup you you
4530s	want to be the player to play Samira
4531s	second nearly always
4538s	you need to go for Challenge and it does
4539s	match up you need to be removing those
4541s	units especially elusives
4544s	but now that he played steady shot there
4546s	is a good chance he'll opt to challenge
4549s	the three two instead and leave the
4551s	Lucifer on the ball just to get stylish
4553s	on the back
4554s	yeah I'm not too upset with this move I
4557s	mean the punish obviously uh is very
4560s	unlikely here to happen because I mean
4562s	what all out and you've got the backup
4564s	all out in hand too you call me The Buff
4566s	side the shots hero you don't come with
4567s	just one like I get uh I don't like
4569s	playing around the cards here
4571s	like he's playing around the the like he
4574s	knows that one two cards one is one
4576s	cause the random generic spell second
4578s	one is Thai shot so you know there are
4580s	three cards in the Simon's hand that you
4583s	don't know about and she who played
4584s	around all out plus a ping which he
4586s	which would make him play around like
4588s	generated Hair Plus one random Katina
4590s	like pretty much just warning shot and
4592s	he could have like pushed one damage and
4594s	level up some era easier this turn I I
4596s	just don't like not using second size of
4598s	the and playing around the potential
4601s	blogs
4602s	again Simon just going for the power to
4604s	pay pneumonia and recognizing look this
4606s	is the turn where I can remove a lot of
4608s	shiru's board presents I've got all out
4611s	as as a backup if I need to to remove a
4613s	unit and I get to just swing in for a
4615s	lot of damage it's not the like the
4617s	optimal powder pad ammonium but it is a
4620s	fantastic uh turn here because look at
4622s	chiu's hand it's just nothing
4625s	I mean he can level Samira this turn
4629s	and he can even save her from The All
4632s	Out
4635s	because if the someone chooses to play
4637s	oh he chooses to go for the double save
4639s	to that next turn but that will be
4642s	punished by all out so she could choose
4643s	to play around all out last turn but she
4646s	choose not to play around this time for
4647s	some reason
4649s	I guess because when they saw there
4650s	wasn't an all-out on the prior turn
4652s	um I mean he didn't have a good activate
4654s	or last turn uh without committing
4657s	slightly shot and if you commit stylish
4668s	keep that but that's only if he can put
4672s	oh it's exactly yeah no no it's just
4674s	little
4677s	well yeah that's a classic fisa Mira
4680s	whoever gets to play the uh
4683s	pandemonium yep on five with a good
4685s	amount of the procs is usually what they
4687s	want to take and it's just like the
4689s	amount of the units attacking you is so
4691s	overwhelming where you just cut like you
4693s	don't have enough blockers with the fish
4694s	Samira yeah usually the only other sort
4697s	of option you have is you've developed
4699s	your own board that can block most of
4700s	the powder pandemonium then on the next
4702s	time you play your own but that only
4703s	works if you hadn't taken a lot of
4705s	damage prior to that turn and in this
4707s	case they've been just enough damage
4709s	from Simon just to push for the exact
4711s	lethal yeah the thundermanium is pretty
4713s	much what the finishes the games so like
4715s	uh play like you don't want to draw into
4718s	it early you don't keep it in opener but
4720s	you want to draw into it later on never
4721s	know
4722s	yeah now we see the pantheon action list
4726s	from she who has water on two it was
4729s	just fantastic Desert Jewel also great
4731s	here just to start chipping away at the
4733s	board here of soy sun which is
4738s	a pretty good hand of himself because
4740s	it's looking like a champion strength uh
4744s	turn seven
4747s	so he just needs to stay alive by by
4749s	then and hope there is a no right of
4752s	negation
4754s	the question is now do you develop
4757s	Your Dragon here or do you just start
4759s	going for the desert Jewels or even
4762s	yeah I think it's fine because
4765s	I think you pass here and see what upon
4767s	develops yeah and you just take the five
4769s	and then develop weapon afterwards I
4773s	mean next hand we have five mana on the
4775s	side of shihu can develop auction again
4777s	and then go desert Joe
4781s	yeah you're probably
4783s	trading down the
4785s	action you value Dragon more than the
4787s	action because he can outgrow Champion
4788s	strength yep
4791s	yeah and on top of that obviously you do
4793s	want the palace here to start taking
4796s	down the landmark
4797s	um because it's a fantastic card for
4799s	multiple reasons obviously you get the
4801s	predict for the draw but sometimes you
4803s	can just summon the fight you can just
4804s	summon the 5-2 to deny an attack which
4806s	is also great
4808s	that's a five five dragon with the
4810s	keywords coming down this that that that
4812s	Dragon will be more important than
4814s	plenty on this match and there is uh
4816s	Tristana coming down now she's gonna be
4818s	slow early growing but there is a desert
4820s	uh
4821s	her down
4824s	yes that is if we assume there's not
4826s	going to be a straight up open right
4827s	because the unfortunate problem with the
4829s	desert strike is that it is a slow spell
4831s	so I mean you're happy for the open
4833s	attacks next turn you just block out and
4835s	you just take what that's barely 10.
4837s	it's fine you're fine easy 10 it's fine
4840s	yeah
4843s	she who opting for the heel which I like
4845s	get that down now uh Sooners later
4847s	because it does only heal one per turn
4851s	um and it does heal itself which is
4852s	fantastic and I'm assuming we're going
4853s	Shepherd's Authority and just yep going
4855s	all in for 11 straight up damage
4859s	yeah so the receptions you give up on
4861s	the dragon here to just get that to get
4864s	the the crystal out you can just go for
4867s	the Desert Jewel and hook and for no
4869s	form up here if you're shihu I mean I
4872s	don't think you have much of a choice I
4874s	mean I guess you can block there and
4875s	keep the dragon alive yet but
4878s	I think that's ready
4881s	I think you have to just take a risk in
4882s	this spot and pray there is no form up
4884s	because
4886s	like you you'll be trading with that
4888s	shyvana no matter what you don't have a
4890s	challenger right now in the hand like
4892s	you like you have to give up a unit for
4895s	that that's right
4896s	unless you hope to draw another action
4898s	if you draw another action when you can
4900s	use the grappling hook on the dragon and
4903s	the locker but again you have only one
4905s	left in the deck
4907s	yeah and with eight Planet though sorry
4909s	Simon unfortunately is one off from
4911s	being able to play championship in this
4913s	term which I think would have been what
4914s	he's looking for yeah easy rights of
4917s	negation here you know what's coming on
4919s	the following turn here from shihu and I
4922s	think you've developed this auction here
4923s	uh get the next Landmark going and then
4926s	you can start desert striking to start
4927s	getting that uh like we mentioned that
4929s	those two rides are actually very very
4931s	more potent because you have the
4933s	predicts to get to access them for with
4935s	Buckeye and the action landmark
4939s	and the question is does she I think do
4942s	you just go for the swing first I with
4943s	the with the dragon I think you do right
4945s	I mean you're swing with action as well
4947s	there's no downside
4949s	uh I'm trying to think is there a punish
4952s	just on a block form up technically on
4955s	Teemo no shut your form up here on
4958s	defense
4959s	you keep formal for a little
4963s	you want to trade you want to block with
4965s	your units because you have more units
4966s	in hand you want to just develop more
4968s	units
4971s	and he chooses not to go for the deserts
4974s	right let's turn it anyway so he just
4976s	wants to develop oh wow Scott is very
4977s	good
4978s	Scout's fantastic he gets two strikes
4981s	here
4982s	um gets that action uh second sort of uh
4987s	card off the landmark which is huge
4988s	because they'll allow him to draw two
4989s	more cards keep everything a lot cheaper
4991s	I think this is fine because I think she
4993s	was expecting the champion strike next
4995s	turn so the idea is obviously starting
4997s	Sam's gonna Champion strength uh tap
5000s	himself out for a manner which will then
5002s	allow the desert jaw to be uh effective
5004s	in removing Tristana and starting
5007s	someone can develop two units still and
5009s	hold the Mana for the next turn that's a
5012s	very good pickup from the Meyer probably
5014s	the best one tough seems great here
5016s	quick attack is great when you're
5018s	attacking turns but tough is fantastic
5019s	for the next thing yeah it's tough for
5020s	the yeah exactly
5023s	again the Twister is an issue because
5024s	like she's still on the board growing
5028s	and yeah
5030s	you can't deal with it I mean the upside
5033s	is you will have a window to develop
5035s	Pantheon now with the shield to block
5037s	her out if you choose to oh I think like
5041s	there is an argument to make to use to
5043s	sacrifice a unit here to progress The
5046s	Landmark to go for little next turn
5050s	there's also something to worry about is
5052s	that Teemo is actually leveled up here
5054s	there's something we haven't actually
5056s	smoking about uh Teemo is now going to
5058s	start doubling shrooms um the first
5060s	couple of hits the team are usually not
5061s	too worried about but the Dublin can get
5064s	really really painful here for shihu
5066s	very quickly especially if if she who
5069s	goes for the draw of the warlord's
5071s	palace
5072s	so I think in this spot if you're a
5074s	shiko you just take down Tristana and
5076s	you can't lose the game
5078s	oh he's scared of he's really scared of
5081s	this team I'm really surprised he
5082s	doesn't name him the Tristana like the
5085s	only way you lose is three standard
5087s	damage and the buffing more impact units
5091s	you have little next turn with or you
5094s	clear the opponent's board
5099s	this is really really interesting
5101s	decisions here from shihu because as
5103s	we've said you get you got the pantheon
5105s	available on the next turn
5106s	um but I don't like this line from shiru
5109s	personally because it's neither away
5110s	right it doesn't use the density will
5111s	either Tristan or Tiba
5114s	I mean he has some game plan there like
5116s	maybe his plan was to bait opponent to
5118s	attack with our units but again there is
5121s	no shot he's attacking because it's a
5122s	champion stranger deck yeah I don't like
5124s	this because you end up taking not only
5125s	the four damage from the impact from
5127s	Tristan
5128s	double the shrooms
5131s	so he prepares panty on uh yeah yeah
5133s	there's the the shroom trainer started
5137s	and yes so someone should be dead here
5139s	on the sea levels the on the Chicago
5141s	Laurels the punt keywords because you're
5144s	gonna give the pantheon the Scout weapon
5147s	you're gonna give it a spell shield like
5149s	this Pantheon would be fully jacked
5151s	going in twice
5153s	it really depends on what keywords right
5155s	because salty Simon in theory could just
5157s	uh play Champion strength and defense
5159s	like this
5161s	mm-hmm
5166s	and now I mean there is no response you
5169s	can do now so you probably need to just
5171s	jump a jam see the keywords first
5175s	I mean team right now is hitting hitting
5177s	fish
5178s	yeah I think you're right I think you
5180s	have to see if you hit that elusive
5184s	um
5191s	you killed your Simon no matter what
5193s	because the dragon can kill it
5196s	you can kill okay you can kill that I
5199s	think you can kill the Tristana with the
5201s	pantheon with Shield
5203s	if you give it plus you can yeah and
5205s	here's argument so hit the if you play
5208s	the spell from the Warlords Mark hard it
5212s	gets plus free damage you can even put a
5214s	gem on the drag on this way so it grows
5217s	uh further
5219s	you can block even the all-cut van
5222s	you can also destroy to make everything
5224s	cheaper so you can still you are not
5226s	drawing here with the Timo smoking you
5227s	so much there
5229s	oh he just forgot to go for the draw of
5232s	the gets an action spelled
5235s	oh I think you yeah vulnerable I you
5238s	don't know why he kill is the Teemo
5239s	because he has elusive Pantheon or you
5241s	can just kill the Tristana maybe he
5244s	doesn't know he can kill tristanda with
5245s	the spell because again Pantheon gives
5248s	you the if you cast the pantheon spell
5251s	on the Tristana with the gem if he goes
5254s	to 10 damage
5261s	still with the
5264s	I mean the other option is just trying
5266s	to block just on the next 10 take four I
5268s	don't know if I like taking four impact
5270s	because you're taking what four five six
5272s	impact this turn
5275s	the thing is you can block with partly
5277s	on the Teemo yeah so like it's like
5279s	there is no need to attack here with the
5282s	pantheon
5284s	like there is no need to attack here at
5286s	all because of the vulnerable I think
5287s	he's a tunnel division a bit on the
5289s	vulnerable and he doesn't see the other
5292s	line he could have taken he can still
5294s	take it because there is still argument
5296s	and there is still and he targeted
5298s	Pantheon already this turn yeah it's a
5301s	bit too slow to do it now though right
5303s	because everything in his hand currently
5304s	slow speed
5305s	um had to do it fast to stop the attack
5308s	which is a bit unfortunate
5311s	goes for the damage instead of a unit
5313s	removal wants to keep that barrier
5321s	let's see how it plays out for him I
5323s	mean again you are taking what six uh 16
5326s	Pakistan yeah that's a lot especially
5328s	when you you have a lot of shrooms in
5329s	the deck
5330s	and I think if he didn't attack and
5332s	opponent attacks you can present like if
5334s	they are talking correctly you can
5335s	present them little this turn so Simon
5337s	would need to think a bit about the
5339s	attack
5341s	choosing not to keep the healing okay
5345s	I'm not sure how I feel about this
5347s	especially with just the number of
5348s	shrooms in deck it will only take a few
5350s	to finish the game here
5352s	you need to keep action alive so you can
5355s	utilize the strike so that's that's
5358s	seven most certain that you cannot trade
5360s	the action so I think blocking with the
5363s	One Core gives you more HP wait wait
5366s	what
5367s	did he just run out of time
5372s	[Laughter]
5378s	no not like this that's the that's not
5382s	how we wanted to do that series then
5386s	okay I think who is not gonna stream up
5389s	today and I think he's not gonna be
5392s	reading Twitter or twitch chat for next
5395s	week oh that was brutal
5398s	timer got him and he couldn't make up
5400s	his mind on the blocks and do you think
5403s	do you think he realized the mistake you
5405s	were talking about with the gem and not
5406s	removing justana and then maybe got a
5409s	little bit sort of in his own head a
5411s	little bit and then wait and then spend
5413s	a bit too much time worrying about that
5414s	instead of just trying to survive like
5416s	he knew that he can kill Tristana this
5418s	turn like and that was his plan he was
5421s	just thinking what blocks what uh the
5423s	most efficient way and how he wants to
5425s	remove the units and to jump block
5428s	and uh yeah just getting blown out there
5431s	by the timer pretty much on the Rope
5435s	we'll be jumping right into the next
5437s	series when shiku dropping O2 to Simon
5440s	Congress I want to get into next round
5441s	and then we have spikes against dagger
5444s	we have some oh that's seraphin Karma
5447s	deck
5448s	and probably the we have the and the
5451s	nine month spell in the hand but it was
5453s	probably generated from the bar and we
5455s	are producing probably Karma SI set
5459s	from the opponent from the spikes
5463s	so it should be technically favorite for
5465s	the SI Karma due to the if there are
5468s	wrecking there's the deck just more
5469s	Champions more resurrecting sets which
5471s	are essential in this matchup
5474s	yeah and obviously as we just saw that
5477s	there's one Karma being removed from
5479s	dagger's side which is fantastic in this
5481s	matchup you just want to uh the premium
5484s	so this match will really revolve around
5486s	removing the premium cards of seraphim
5487s	and Karma
5489s	um on the side of dagger and then Karma
5490s	on the other side right you really don't
5492s	want the value chain of the doubling up
5494s	of spells happening for either side and
5496s	you also want to sort of retain your
5498s	protection spells a lot of the time so
5500s	there's a lot of time you keep your
5501s	recalls
5505s	yeah I mean that becomes a problem later
5508s	on when you also start filling up the
5510s	spell stack
5511s	um if you start tripling up uh your
5513s	opponent can potentially just never
5515s	respond which is also great yeah that's
5517s	excellent oh that usage of the like so
5519s	here dagger decides to push the damage
5522s	uh he chooses not to keep the threat of
5525s	the killing the karma and he just goes
5528s	in and also spikes has the karma in the
5530s	hand but he knows he can't develop it
5532s	into that many cards and surfing on the
5534s	board because she just dies too easily
5537s	and you have no way of protecting but
5538s	when we see tag out top deck so you can
5540s	slam the safely Karma and then have a
5542s	steel protection if you choose to if
5544s	opponent Goes On The Stack you can feel
5547s	four of them yourself yeah the thing is
5550s	there isn't really great options here on
5552s	dagger's side
5554s	um I mean you draw the top deck some
5556s	films you can deal with it I like
5557s	baiting out uh first the protection
5561s	spells by playing the what was the name
5563s	of that spell I keep forgetting uh the
5566s	buried in us very nice there you go like
5568s	that's a very smart debate from dagger
5571s	because he knows if there is and like if
5573s	there is a tagout that comes out deny
5575s	then he can just come in with some films
5577s	and spikes realizes that going smartly
5580s	with without the Dugout but now you are
5583s	weak to After Shock you can re-kill that
5585s	Karma being turned into the tomb with
5587s	just a simple Aftershock yeah while that
5589s	is true you have a read if you're dagger
5591s	that there is no aftershocks because you
5593s	have these two bars that have probably
5594s	been sitting on the board for plenty of
5596s	turns and if there was an Aftershock you
5598s	probably would have gotten rid of them
5599s	on the first bar later at this point of
5601s	the game doesn't matter as much but when
5602s	you see the first bar you do want to
5603s	potentially get rid of it right there
5604s	and then
5606s	to remove the human needs like I like
5610s	keeping this removal for karma I should
5613s	be better and also you you are looking
5615s	to draw the cards with the recall here
5618s	on the probably your coupling uh so yeah
5620s	that's definitely a good play here to
5622s	just cycle your deck and find the better
5624s	cards from your deck you look for if the
5626s	dagger didn't play finding Kurama should
5628s	be very very good here
5645s	there you go that's four cards with
5648s	seraphin
5649s	four coins but the coins has been
5652s	playing already this game so he cannot
5653s	double them
5655s	oh look at this cards oh it's beautiful
5658s	so beautiful
5660s	yes draw more well that is beautiful
5663s	look what Spike's true as well the next
5665s	turn it spikes is surviving this turn
5668s	yeah just about you present little you
5670s	definitely present little here
5676s	and then obviously we're gonna see the
5678s	Palm coming down here from spikes to
5679s	survive
5681s	I'm not sure if I like committing this
5683s	on the because there is there might be a
5684s	recall there might be no problem like
5686s	you have to think if you're a dagger if
5688s	there is recall to stay alive then what
5691s	do you want your opponent to recall you
5694s	want them to recall your clock link
5698s	yeah clock clean seraphim both would
5700s	work because they both just generated
5701s	ready
5703s	let's
5705s	interesting
5708s	so he goes for little this turn
5711s	I would have probably transformed the
5713s	clock link since you have protection for
5715s	it anyway
5716s	and you just push an extra damage and I
5719s	just re recall like yeah exactly
5722s	and the next time spikes has karma
5725s	coming back with no sort of interaction
5727s	he gets the attack took good so he can
5729s	go straight into that place your bets
5731s	yeah so we'll see is basically still in
5734s	the game
5735s	yeah it really depends on what draws
5737s	that place your bets give spikes here
5742s	because it might look dire right now but
5744s	there's a straight up poor draw coming
5746s	here with a tons of Mana available for
5748s	spikes
5752s	I'm thinking if you like I'm not sure if
5755s	a Duggar plays a cat pursuit of
5757s	perfection
5758s	and it's probably active by this point
5760s	looking at the size of the decks and we
5763s	see another place your birds oh and said
5766s	holy Spike historic everything and when
5769s	cheap removal for the Seraph in holy
5771s	he's a gamer
5773s	so the ordering here you have to
5775s	maximize your coin so I like this
5777s	playing set first then you can maximize
5779s	your coins then place them play the next
5780s	place your bets spikes the sort of he's
5785s	kind of the face of karma set right at
5787s	this point he was the player at the
5789s	beginning of the Season playing the most
5791s	games I think he hit rank one on a
5793s	letter with just Karma said obviously he
5794s	played the pnz version there now he's
5796s	playing the SI version but he is
5797s	extremely familiar with this deck So
5799s	based off the amount of the coins you
5801s	have here as a spikes you'll probably
5803s	play you you'd attempt to play the first
5806s	the two mother removal on the seraphim
5808s	uh so you can generate more coins
5811s	also yeah you're gonna coin out here uh
5814s	oh that's a lot of mother
5816s	Queen place your bets
5819s	oh you're gonna draw you're gonna okay
5821s	yeah you definitely commit first with
5822s	tag out to deny the information you
5825s	don't need to do the
5827s	um the place or best just yet
5829s	and now you're gonna probably place your
5830s	bets in a response and look for a
5833s	another removal potentially or like
5836s	sales Decker did not a deny another tag
5838s	out
5840s	you are not looking for the units you're
5841s	looking for the good spells in response
5843s	there is nothing
5844s	there's just coins you can play of
5848s	Ah that's unfortunate because karma is
5852s	how spikes will try to win this game
5855s	really wants the doubling up on these
5856s	spells here the question is how many
5858s	karmas has he left in the deck is there
5860s	other rekindlers have any Karma died or
5862s	they got all obliterated like there is a
5864s	lot of things we are unaware we jump
5866s	into the middle of the game but uh there
5869s	is some potential for spikes but we've
5870s	seen that the second Karma that dies
5872s	right so another thing to consider is
5874s	the clock
5875s	the clock here
5878s	because this is game one it's fine now
5880s	25 million it's it's fine and this game
5883s	is not ending anytime soon uh sometimes
5886s	we'll have to consider that the problem
5888s	dagger has is the amount of the cars
5890s	there is some there will be generating
5891s	three cars from the barodextrin oh maybe
5895s	he coins out bar now
5897s	oh let's go he's digging
5900s	oh that's a two generation just generate
5903s	another free cards why not with some
5905s	WinCos potentially let's go
5907s	and this is again you said it wasn't
5910s	ending anytime soon I mean I said that
5912s	but you said it was going to end there's
5913s	gonna be plenty of time I I kind of
5915s	disagree here this is not looking like
5916s	it's ending any moment soon so players
5919s	will have to potentially worry about
5921s	that for their upcoming rounds I mean
5923s	the fingers uh dagger is losing cold
5925s	water stone and like depends what he
5928s	finds from the celestial Trifecta and
5929s	depends what the kind of interaction
5931s	will spikes has and like the problem he
5934s	drew the sentries and he needs to cycle
5937s	the centuries ASAP because those studies
5939s	are not presenting little like dagger
5942s	will not be attacking anytime soon into
5944s	those so you have just batch of cardrow
5946s	on the board that you cannot really
5948s	utilize
5952s	yeah I mean that gets surviving fine I
5954s	mean the the problem with spikes doesn't
5956s	actually end the game quickly right this
5958s	set is going to be really slow burn
5961s	um the spikes needs to recognize okay
5963s	spikes needs to recognize he needs to
5965s	attack with the two one here and he
5966s	needs to develop another two one he
5968s	needs to threaten like there is no point
5970s	bluffing at this point with two cards in
5972s	hand that are unvisible like you need to
5974s	be good drawing from those centuries
5977s	there is no shot you can possibly keep
5978s	them on the board you need to cycle hand
5980s	ASAP oh there is a set
5984s	but let's see what options we get here
5987s	for the celestials oh would you like
5989s	zero Mana zero mother or zero Mana there
5991s	are some few choices you can make
5993s	I mean I quite like zero Mana here yeah
5994s	I think I would go with the zero one as
5996s	well now the question is is
5999s	okay this is an interesting choice
6001s	though because you have a choice of you
6003s	have the choice of comet to remove the
6005s	set but you could also try to find one
6007s	of your champions
6009s	yeah but it's pretty like fine like
6012s	removing the set is probably better
6018s	and here we go the food that's done but
6021s	the problem is if by using yeah you
6024s	cycle set here you put it to the back
6026s	you expect it to draw it back but you
6029s	are not drawing cards anytime soon and
6031s	if this set dies
6033s	you are out of the challenges like it's
6035s	looking bad for the spikes because again
6038s	he's just ran out of resources that's
6040s	that's it and it's gonna be really tough
6044s	um has to rely on this set to keep
6045s	generating uh the uh zero cost
6048s	obliterate to try and win here so the
6051s	reason he kept Sentry last turn is to
6054s	have an option to generate another
6055s	obliterate the stern uh and he chose not
6058s	to go like you choose to go for the more
6060s	control approach than uh going to what
6064s	to deal more damage and try to draw
6066s	cards so that's not like the problem is
6069s	like you have to play Vengeance to
6071s	generate like like think about it you
6073s	have to play Vengeance to generate
6074s	showstopper and like if you're playing
6076s	Vengeance you are playing Defenders on
6078s	the meaningful Target so there is a very
6080s	little chance opponent will develop
6081s	another thread you can show stopper so
6084s	yeah you have in your mind the process
6086s	that yeah this entry I'll use to
6088s	generate a showstopper but there
6091s	wouldn't be any good targets for
6092s	showstopper if you use Vengeance anyway
6094s	so just pushing more damage attempting
6096s	more damage to cycle those sentries was
6098s	potentially better two turns ago
6101s	and we are hitting round 18.
6104s	oh yeah I'm just getting started yeah
6106s	we're just getting
6108s	um there is no answer here for spikes to
6110s	protect the
6112s	set so unfortunately it's going to be
6113s	obliterated and as you mentioned we've
6115s	been seeing the Champions being
6116s	obliterated so if there was a card like
6118s	rekindler available they're not getting
6121s	summoned
6122s	yeah it's looking pretty tough oh that's
6124s	not a best generation but you get to you
6127s	definitely recall yourself and you just
6128s	cycle another card you draw another zero
6131s	mother card if it's a card draw you just
6132s	drop the game it's excellent you have
6135s	also reviews
6136s	we've seen a seraphin shuffle we've seen
6138s	two setup and shuffled so we know there
6141s	is at least
6142s	just generate workouts it's all good
6145s	perfect
6147s	perfect but do you want to you play your
6149s	next turn right you just there's no
6150s	there's no rush to play yeah I mean you
6152s	I think I would play this Darren because
6154s	you get to re you the thing is you don't
6156s	want to remove the two ones so there is
6158s	no cycle and like you want to keep
6161s	shuffling your setup in
6164s	I like removing a bar because this
6166s	threatens uh for the
6169s	this threatens having uh what's called
6172s	generation
6175s	choose not to shuffle the seraphine
6178s	I mean you have a second one in hand
6180s	right so you just play it you're fine
6182s	um you want to generate the show stopper
6185s	here if you are dagger right
6187s	um you know exactly what's in their hand
6190s	you can use this little uh it's very
6192s	close because you can heavy metal here
6195s	yeah you don't have metal but you are
6197s	not pushing enough it depends where you
6199s	draw right you can still draw
6201s	um
6202s	so he's skipping this for the I mean
6204s	wait
6217s	there is a chance that dagger has no
6219s	Champions left
6220s	of how many cards are left in the deck
6222s	that's the next three yeah three for
6225s	dagger
6227s	so like we don't know the amount of the
6229s	cards that Spike has but he's playing
6231s	very safely like he he's not threatening
6235s	like he didn't want to threaten little
6236s	oh also four cards in the spikes deck so
6241s	we know that dagger is gonna be decking
6243s	out first unless he has a way to shuffle
6245s	the cards he should not okay we know
6248s	that sentries so keeping in mind that
6250s	there are centuries you can force
6251s	opponent to draw
6252s	but the question is do you do that now
6255s	yeah because you have an option to
6257s	remove the anything that the spikes
6259s	placed here
6261s	unless it's set in which case you don't
6263s	have it you don't have a way of removing
6265s	it
6267s	true
6271s	now what
6272s	you know you just lose yourself I mean I
6275s	don't know why he doesn't do it next
6276s	time why why why did he choose to do it
6278s	on on the not having attack token yeah
6281s	that's why I was like you wait a turn
6282s	then remove them because not only do you
6285s	give them an extra draw if you know they
6287s	have to play a champion to then
6288s	reshuffle again you can wait affirm to
6292s	play the champion and then remove it or
6294s	whatever you let's assume there is only
6296s	one Karma and one set in spikes deck
6298s	left uh so he cannot win because uh
6302s	tiger all has to do is just pass
6305s	and he wins by one card
6307s	wait let's let's dagger draws wait
6312s	okay
6315s	uh
6321s	he could generate showstopper at the
6323s	stern Yeah by recalling if you recall
6325s	your own set you generate shirts set and
6327s	then yeah you get to Open Swing for
6329s	lethal
6342s	I'm not sure if the sixth Mana is enough
6344s	here
6348s	because he played bunch of cards at
6349s	zerobana
6352s	he played two Mana for sure two four
6355s	five ten he can do 10 at least I'm not
6357s	sure if there was another tomato play
6358s	this turn
6360s	um didn't actually know didn't think
6362s	that could have played Queen then play
6365s	the recall then play the coin again
6367s	right no yes but again yeah that's
6369s	that's another one Mana yeah so that
6372s	would be still 11.
6374s	but yeah he played soccer she played
6376s	this done yet yeah so we'll see the
6378s	oblit rate of the set and open attack
6380s	with the little
6383s	this is this is set mirrors basically it
6386s	goes It goes around nearly 20. yeah but
6389s	I think play is fighting for individual
6391s	resources and to see who wins
6397s	so unless he has a baron and uh in the
6401s	hand
6401s	then he's just decking out because she
6404s	choose to draw there to protect his unit
6407s	also the problem is this unit is not
6409s	present oh okay
6413s	there is a potential definitely not it's
6416s	definitely it's not it's not either of
6418s	them really oh Monkey Business uh
6420s	Celestial blessing okay they're both
6422s	pretty good yeah monkey blessed sync is
6425s	probably better
6426s	plus one plus one right could be great
6429s	you could spread out your damage
6431s	oh he lost did I get lost
6437s	because there is a deny you are alive at
6440s	one
6443s	so we Palm the set here take six
6448s	yeah take seven because you play
6450s	blessing
6453s	man this is just game one for everyone
6455s	this is just the first match between
6457s	these two players there's 50. they could
6459s	have went to the Tie by the way
6464s	but he went for the win you can't blame
6466s	dagger here she went for the winning
6467s	line but again he should be aware of
6470s	every card that spikes has because like
6473s	that's those are open deck lists you
6474s	should be aware of exactly all the cards
6476s	and if he knows it's a problem deny
6478s	that's a losing play
6483s	I mean you haven't seen the noise right
6485s	this entire game so the chance I mean
6486s	you know exactly you know exactly cards
6489s	left in the spikes deck because again
6491s	those are open deck lists you know all
6495s	the cards if you kept track of opponents
6497s	what he played across the game and yeah
6499s	you just you could have tied the game at
6501s	least if not win the game if you choose
6503s	not to draw he had like dagger had an
6505s	option to struggle another sarafine he
6507s	had an option to give opponent two cards
6509s	and Rose which he did and when he choose
6512s	to draw himself so he could have been
6513s	ahead by two cards and he was not dying
6516s	he if he went for the fatty game plan he
6520s	was way ahead on that plan especially if
6522s	he knew there is no more karma left in
6524s	the deck because we didn't know we
6525s	didn't see all the Karma die so he had
6527s	pretty much he'll set it in stone to win
6530s	the fatigue plan he was at 18. all he
6533s	had to do Shuffle Karma the story shut
6535s	up in and not draw with the guiding yes
6538s	we saw the last card spikes Drew was a
6541s	comma by the way the last card in the
6543s	deck was a cover yeah but he cannot
6545s	Shuffle another camera so this card is
6546s	irrelevant and you know there are
6547s	problems deny so that karma is not doing
6550s	much you can just keep removal for karma
6552s	and you're fine
6553s	yeah and we have a look at the bands
6555s	here we saw actually uh the bandel deck
6558s	that was banned there between the two
6559s	players and now they're going to be
6560s	hopping into game number two between the
6563s	two of them with what 15 12 minutes left
6566s	on the clock
6568s	it's fine it's fine it's fine you say
6571s	that I mean hopefully the matches will
6572s	be a bit quicker now because they're
6573s	faster decks and the mirror the worst
6575s	mirror is out of the way
6577s	sarafin said is not the fastest decks
6579s	out there yeah yeah it takes a bit to
6581s	finish the game the slow decks playing
6583s	against each other obviously um where it
6586s	makes it a little bit more difficult but
6587s	speaking of fast games uh there might
6590s	not be another first game there might be
6592s	another very slow game between uh the
6594s	Heimer Jace here and the karma set
6597s	yeah most definitely we see another
6599s	Karma set approach and it's against
6601s	Hymer Jace right
6603s	oh yeah this might take at least eight
6606s	to ten rounds at best at worst 20.
6610s	there's definitely a chance
6613s	um I guess usually what happens in this
6615s	matchup is it should be favored for the
6617s	set lineups
6619s	um just because you could you have
6622s	efficient removal for heiman they don't
6623s	have many protection spells it's not
6626s	that great for set seraphin due to the
6628s	like it based it's based on the nature
6630s	of the event of the hammer Chase if they
6633s	get the free 2 then Buffs one one to all
6636s	the tech cards I don't remember the
6637s	cards you probably know better what's
6639s	the card name
6640s	oh oh that's unfortunate
6645s	yeah so anyway three two the three Coast
6647s	Buffs ever all take all the tech cards
6649s	by one that's a premium card in this
6651s	matchup and you should hard Mulligan for
6653s	it the High mirror doesn't matter Jace
6655s	doesn't matter and none of the six
6657s	monospas matter you need hard Mulligan
6660s	for the plus one plus one to everything
6662s	because then it makes all your cards
6664s	significantly bigger threats and doesn't
6667s	allow opponent to cheaply remove them
6670s	and the problem that the deck has the
6673s	all the units are very
6675s	volatile
6677s	very squishy against all the removal
6680s	that is set set up in karma can present
6684s	so you want to buff your threads to more
6688s	of a significant HP
6692s	yeah it's it's gonna be
6695s	tough here because look at dagger's hand
6698s	right now Tech has a lot of options
6699s	can't just keep passing this is the song
6701s	no it is not a hand where you want to
6703s	pass with that guy this is the hand
6704s	where you need to cycle look for bar
6705s	this is definitely the tower where you
6707s	just play clock link to search the bar
6710s	for the steering six we obviously know
6713s	there is an Aftershock in the hand but
6714s	like again you have to play to your outs
6716s	like you cannot be playing uh around the
6718s	all the cards and they can assuming
6720s	Spike food open pass because this is a
6722s	perfect spot for open passing because
6724s	you are up to Mana you're down to Mana
6726s	so you want to burn your opponent's
6727s	banner and we see bar six Mana bar let's
6731s	see if he opted for it he already
6733s	features the student yeah of course but
6735s	again that whole point of playing the
6736s	clock Link in the deck to find that six
6738s	Mana bar find the unnerd version the old
6742s	good six mother bar we know that all of
6744s	us regret the Nerf on it it's seven Mana
6746s	now I know that all the twitch chat and
6748s	the YouTube Community would love the bar
6750s	to be six months again am I right
6768s	I'm never backing you up on this one I
6770s	think pirate seven is perfect it's fine
6772s	we can even buff it to five just
6774s	experimentally
6776s	just see what happens
6783s	enjoy your days
6785s	no we cannot allow that to happen
6792s	free you get your power play so early oh
6794s	look at this getting the flash bomb
6796s	server you're just deleting the 2-1 and
6798s	that's very good because dagara has no
6800s	good removal in hand because just bunch
6801s	of value cards but nothing to remove so
6804s	if you'd be taking this steep damage
6806s	taking those flash bombs Reggie is
6809s	pretty significant and we see the most
6811s	important card draw from the spices
6813s	there you go
6816s	there you go hextech Handler from spikes
6818s	being drawn gonna allow him to get that
6820s	buff plus one plus one buff you're
6822s	mentioning across all the Macs
6824s	that is absolutely amazing card in this
6826s	matchup and they should single hand Leaf
6828s	who push the match up in the favorite of
6831s	the spikes and uh Duggar wow spikes
6834s	decided to take an open pass that's very
6836s	surprising given that you want to be
6839s	presenting here for us and you draw
6841s	literally the perfect thread and you
6842s	have Heimer in hand like
6844s	like not developing a Handler here is a
6847s	bit sassy
6849s	next time it's activated right that's
6851s	the next question yeah if you played
6852s	formula he played formula
6859s	now we can see the bar six Mana which
6861s	can be taken out by Aftershock obviously
6863s	but still you go for it every time
6866s	you develop a blocker you develop a
6869s	thread so like even if opponent deals
6871s	with the uh with the bar with the
6872s	Aftershock you still have a free free
6874s	body that can deal with the Handler now
6878s	yeah I mean there's a chance you could
6880s	uh use cell Harvest potentially as well
6882s	to remove but again you're not that's a
6885s	very good pretty knife yeah
6889s	I mean the players are taking their
6891s	sweet time we have eight minutes on the
6892s	clock and five again in the red timer
6895s	this is they are taking a lot like are
6898s	they aware I mean this is more of an
6900s	issue for um daggers and spikes by the
6903s	way
6904s	um yes bikes oh true spikes will take
6906s	his sweet time if he can
6908s	um because that spikes could try to win
6909s	in this match try to think calmly he's
6911s	fine if he wins as long as he wins this
6913s	match
6915s	I mean
6917s	you're like
6919s	like they go to timeout and given that
6921s	the player the player who won the game
6923s	won wins the whole series if it goes to
6926s	timeout even if it's 1-1 in the series
6930s	I honestly I do not know I have to we'll
6933s	have a production to double check on
6935s	that but I'm pretty sure that that was
6938s	the thing in the past where player who
6939s	won the game wanted a series if they die
6942s	then if it goes to timeout the player
6944s	one wins so there is potential
6946s	Shenanigans with the clock normally what
6949s	happens is the clock happens becomes an
6952s	issue in game three it's not often an
6954s	issue in game two oh we have a coffee
6957s	who won the game one wins the whole
6959s	series if it goes on the timeout
6963s	so again
6964s	time is definitely a resource
6967s	yeah I mean they have a bit more than
6969s	seven minutes remember they have another
6971s	what five minutes five yeah yeah five in
6973s	the red but again 12 minutes and like
6975s	those decks are like
6977s	there will be another Heimer Jace match
6979s	like if like assuming spikes loses like
6982s	finishing in 12 minutes
6984s	the games that just barely started none
6987s	of the players played the champion there
6989s	is I would say it's like 80 chance it
6992s	goes to timeout from this spot
6995s	yeah it really depends if the players
6998s	start ramping up their speed of turns
7000s	because
7001s	um if it does go to timeout this game
7003s	spikes is in a really bad uh spikes
7006s	actually no he's fine no matter what
7007s	right no yeah spikes isn't a very good
7009s	spot because she won game one uh dagger
7013s	has to start speeding up but the problem
7015s	with speeding up however is it makes you
7017s	prone to making more mistakes so it's
7019s	going to be really really tough if a
7020s	dagger to sort of find the perfect lines
7022s	every turn
7024s	spike is taking his sweet time ever ever
7027s	pass here the dagger is so we can see
7029s	he's speeding up with the the place
7030s	realizes that he needs to push that uh
7033s	place and he's uh yeah he'll be
7036s	attacking more more often and the spike
7038s	has a pretty good hand to just stay
7040s	alive because he can threaten removing
7042s	all the champions We it's already one
7044s	deny and yeah that's a all you need to
7048s	do is just develop primer when opponent
7050s	develops a threat they remove your
7052s	Hammer you remove the airfryk and you
7053s	develop another seven two so yeah
7058s	yeah I mean spikes doesn't look like
7059s	he's winning this match so it's gonna be
7061s	really tough there's so much removal on
7063s	dagger's side but dagger knows he I mean
7066s	I think dagger knows the timer like it's
7069s	just
7070s	look like
7072s	we should
7074s	spike is just like the playing timer
7076s	here like clearly like there is no shot
7077s	he fought about playing a play he's
7079s	thinking about playing Jace here or or
7082s	the removal for the EV every single
7085s	action dagger too like there's no not a
7088s	possible chance there is a chance you
7089s	think about playing JT or not right the
7091s	performers if you play Jace here uh you
7093s	can't play Heimer plus a big spell next
7096s	turn what I'm referring to he took the
7098s	three actions to rope to think about the
7101s	jsplay yeah
7106s	this is so tough for dag dagger really
7109s	has to like
7110s	speed everything up try and go for uh
7114s	try and Rush down really but he's
7116s	playing a deck that doesn't do that
7118s	tomorrow it's not up at this point it's
7120s	not up to the dagger house like at this
7122s	point it's on the spike side if you
7124s	decide to to slow play like stagger they
7127s	can't do anything it's just the nature
7128s	of the matchup that went in the game one
7130s	and like whoever won the game one is
7132s	just now in the driving scene and be
7134s	chilling
7136s	yeah and this this attack here from
7138s	spikes is again just going to keep
7139s	passing sort of actions over to dagger
7142s	um make him take more turns I mean
7144s	there's a consideration to developing
7146s	Albus here and just swinging
7149s	um and just trying to put pressure up
7150s	your spikes but you again spikes's hand
7152s	is very reactive right so
7155s	um in general spikes is gonna just want
7157s	to keep oh Sparks does not care at all
7160s	about the damage like spice wingcon is
7162s	not the damage at this point you know by
7165s	all means and like all he has to do is
7167s	just pass priority we've taken little
7169s	time
7171s	oh and like dagger cannot be taking
7173s	those turns he should be aware that he
7174s	needs to win this game ASAP and he needs
7178s	to speed under the game too because like
7180s	if he's gonna be slow playing this and
7182s	trying to go for like normally those the
7184s	lines the both players would be taking
7186s	would be completely different but given
7188s	we have an uh timer in the play like
7191s	dagger should be extremely aggressive
7194s	and if not playing around anything and
7196s	Spike should be playing extremely
7197s	defensive because he just needs to stay
7199s	alive for as long as he can and because
7202s	of the it doesn't matter the outcome of
7205s	this game doesn't matter for him yeah I
7207s	mean Dagger from next turn onwards has a
7209s	chance to to win because obviously the
7211s	karma will be active
7213s	um we'll really want to try keep like a
7215s	lot of these like Mystic shots uh just
7217s	for Nexus damage at this point instead
7220s	of removal ideally
7222s	um
7222s	the question is do we try to remove the
7225s	timer here with the explet I think you
7227s	do
7229s	I think in this spot with playing Heimer
7231s	is a bit of a misplay because you just
7232s	wait for opponent to play a threat then
7235s	you play Heimer so you can respond with
7236s	vengeance to a possibility when opponent
7239s	wants to kill your unit
7242s	yeah and this the the will of Ionia here
7247s	um is equally as good if not better well
7251s	dagger because your Avengers here for
7253s	sure to have the two blockers show me
7255s	that again
7258s	yeah I mean you're gonna get two
7259s	blockers but what's fantastic obviously
7260s	is spikes doesn't even clearly
7263s	necessarily care about the blocks right
7264s	spikes could just go for the win with
7265s	the elusives potentially
7267s	um obviously it doesn't he doesn't know
7269s	that we see that there's a course thick
7270s	Rift
7271s	um but that's in conjunction we'll have
7274s	to be with a seraphine to double up if
7276s	we get even cheaper
7280s	[Music]
7282s	it's unlikely but it's just a defensive
7286s	tools at this point
7290s	like also I think developing them now
7293s	like I would develop just one and wait
7295s	for the attack if there is nothing
7296s	happening I just I wouldn't mind burning
7298s	one because again you don't care about
7300s	them you don't care about the damage
7302s	the dagger that you probably want to try
7304s	save as I mentioned this Mystic so
7306s	you're probably gonna use high notes uh
7307s	with yeah this Mystic is sex to the face
7310s	yeah
7315s	wait a second did he just cow stick
7323s	never mind
7326s	I don't know why he's removing that he
7328s	has a little acoustic for next time
7329s	that's discounted all he had to do is
7332s	just after shock he swings for five here
7335s	and then sets up six with colors because
7339s	oh wait chicken karma that's five hold
7341s	up yeah so you could just set up the
7343s	lethal right now yeah he has little
7344s	Excel true that's a very good point yeah
7348s	no
7352s	thank you savage 16 damage told me
7357s	there we go no 15 15. it's a level it's
7361s	15 damage exactly
7364s	and the only punish is there isn't even
7367s	it's just pacing darkness is the only
7368s	healing yeah that's why I mentioned you
7370s	don't develop both elusives you just
7372s	pass off the blink one one as a blocker
7374s	because you just yeah they just get
7376s	removed for no reason and if opponent
7377s	passes you are happy because again
7379s	you're like you are not going for little
7381s	this turn and you get you got time trick
7383s	as well which is fantastic there's a
7385s	search trade for more if you need it
7390s	and splittering Sun spinner that's just
7392s	everything dagger needed and with seven
7395s	five seconds left of this clock uh
7400s	five minutes left on the clock in that
7403s	the five minute is that the red timer is
7405s	an overtime
7406s	so you just missed their place yeah and
7408s	there's no answer
7409s	and now this next game both players
7412s	we're moving to speed Rune Terror
7415s	I mean from the dagger side yes
7419s	spikes I uh sincerely doubt uh no it
7423s	does uh it will be whoever's got more
7425s	time left because it's game three
7427s	are you sure about that yeah yeah it's
7429s	game three
7441s	okay when did they change it it's the
7445s	timer Rule's always been
7447s	um that that the game one winner will
7448s	matter if it's we're in game two end of
7450s	timer but if game three it's purely on
7452s	who has the most time left at the end of
7454s	game three
7455s	oh so it's gonna be it's gonna it's one
7457s	one
7459s	and it's gonna be speed runetera here
7462s	they're gonna have to pick them up oh
7464s	that's cool man I thought they decided
7465s	basically no no speed router here Alan
7469s	speed runterra both players are gonna
7471s	have to play as far as statistically
7472s	possible the trade minimize the timer
7475s	loss here
7478s	you could think that predict will play
7480s	faster because it's like an Acro that
7482s	it's not but they can spend loads of
7484s	time on every time predicting exactly
7486s	and the camera is just play on it play
7488s	on you don't need the decision you have
7490s	it's just on Reggie when you play
7491s	pharaohs which cut you manifest
7494s	so yeah is in a downside of the matchup
7498s	it's gonna be crazy tough here football
7500s	so that's a bit of intimacy for me
7503s	because I was sure that the player that
7505s	won the game won wins game three if it
7507s	goes to time out on game three but it's
7509s	basically it's based on the game two
7511s	time out like the uh
7514s	it's all right yeah yeah it's just
7516s	purely whoever whoever spends the least
7518s	amount of time in this game that's a
7520s	cool that's cool then
7522s	it is unfortunate for spikes because he
7524s	really needed to win that last really
7526s	needed to get that win
7529s	I mean this matchup it should be pretty
7531s	good for the high Mercedes normally
7534s	mobile you have is
7535s	sued
7539s	and like you have a good units early on
7541s	you have a challenger days you can
7543s	stabilize very very easily into uh Echo
7547s	drinks on you like there needs to be
7550s	pretty much a very good opener with some
7552s	drop borders coming early plus the right
7554s	of negation on like 105 seats to secure
7557s	possible lethal or the important
7559s	presence
7560s	or just straight up Corona brick right
7562s	that's the next your next best option oh
7564s	yeah that's an extra copy of right of
7566s	negation pretty much just more damage on
7568s	top yeah exactly
7576s	so we've been given a little bit of an
7578s	update where uh it it seems as if spikes
7582s	has won that match probably due to the
7584s	timer
7586s	we don't know exactly what the cause is
7588s	uh it could be dagger not checking in or
7591s	leaving we don't know
7592s	um but unfortunately maybe Q was not at
7594s	work maybe maybe he fought the same as I
7596s	do because I'm pretty confident that it
7598s	used to be different and
7601s	no no wall no way we don't need it out
7604s	we don't know unfortunately we're just
7605s	gonna have to take it for what it is we
7607s	know that spikes has now taken that win
7609s	which is unfortunate
7611s	um and it does mean spikes does make it
7613s	to the top 16 he's going to be super
7614s	happy about that
7616s	um to be unfortunate about the situation
7618s	but unfortunately he does get the points
7619s	and he's gonna be happy about that for
7620s	himself
7622s	um yeah the game one was absolutely a
7623s	blast to watch we could have seen the
7626s	different lines that the players would
7627s	have taken and at the end going in the
7630s	favor of the spice and yeah looking
7632s	forward for the next games anyway guys a
7635s	quick break before the next rounds we'll
7637s	be back shortly
7673s	thank you
7680s	foreign
7697s	[Music]
7711s	[Music]
7713s	foreign
7729s	[Music]
7735s	[Music]
7759s	all right
7787s	and we are back from a very short break
7791s	but we're going to be bringing you the
7793s	top 16 matches here for the first ever
7796s	worlds qualifieds and what a day it's
7798s	been and we've had some fantastic
7800s	matches how are you feeling about them
7803s	today
7804s	I am so happy the level play level of
7807s	play went up because in the in the past
7811s	we had some
7813s	experimental lines uh in the the bigger
7816s	tournaments but now players are playing
7818s	very very well it like they stopped
7822s	playing around every possible card in
7823s	the deck and they are just playing to
7825s	your wins which I want to highlight so
7827s	much because players tend to start
7829s	playing like uh the less experienced
7831s	ones around the car so many cars for up
7834s	to no reason again the game is about
7836s	winning not playing around every
7838s	possible card in the deck which I'm
7840s	really happy to see yeah and for our
7843s	next match here in top 16 we do have
7846s	badge attack versus white raw it is
7851s	looking fantastic here badge attack has
7853s	been having a great match twicking out
7854s	slowly Felipe who we saw earlier on uh
7857s	in the tournament against that at least
7859s	I got this yes unfortunately got knocked
7860s	out here against badger
7862s	how are you feeling about this matchup
7864s	everyone knows Badger badge has been
7865s	around the block here in runtera he is
7867s	probably
7869s	I would argue outside of you and the
7871s	face of sort of emaa compared to seeing
7873s	he streams a lot he's a fantastic player
7874s	and we see him consistently making
7877s	top Cuts in tournaments well at least
7879s	you don't recall creeping the oldest
7881s	player around here he isn't yeah
7884s	technically he's playing cool he's
7886s	playing quite long but also white rice
7889s	are quite a grind a ladder grinder and
7890s	he's doing well in the previous season
7892s	also I'm looking forward to his
7894s	performance on the at this tournament
7895s	via having another Deep Run we know that
7898s	he won already won seasonal so let's see
7901s	if he can take it down once again while
7903s	that is going to be our match uh the
7905s	weather is going to be our match that
7907s	we're gonna be watching Top 16. look at
7908s	the other half we see tilted who made it
7910s	all the way through which is fantastic
7911s	we haven't seen him for a while a German
7913s	player that came through and here we see
7915s	the the other side of the top 16 where
7917s	we see cope Robo Master a top Masters
7920s	player you see him around all the time
7921s	and do know uh one of my favorite for
7924s	the tournament I'm super happy he's made
7925s	it all the way up to this top 16 wasn't
7927s	my favorite for this uh how are you
7929s	feeling about this side oh this side
7932s	looks pretty slacked as well I know you
7934s	wanted to pronounce the spikes upon that
7936s	name go for it man we've got
7941s	when I saw that name I see it I see them
7943s	on ladder all the time I just think
7945s	that's right in my head and obviously
7946s	again up against spikes uh you a fellow
7948s	UK player a fellow uh I have to root for
7951s	spikes uh because he's been around the
7954s	block I've done loads of practice with
7956s	him in the past he's such a strong
7957s	player
7958s	yeah we have also a joke
7962s	in another uh top 16 they're going to
7966s	the Top Cut and strive against bokki and
7969s	vladestini against Camilla also a very
7972s	very good players will have a quite a
7975s	serious and amazing finals like all of
7978s	those players are amazing we'll be
7980s	hoping and checking out the lineups of
7982s	the players now uh Baya decided to Bro
7985s	bring his standard favorite fish Samira
7989s	and Tristana Timo uh is it Nar version
7994s	no no
7996s	what's that oh just three timos okay
7998s	it's just three teams okay and kaisa
8002s	Garen oh that is a spicy Listerine badge
8005s	you're probably trying to uh Target I'd
8008s	assume maybe more the Samira list that
8010s	sort of stuff playing a bunch of like
8012s	demacia high HP unit interesting
8014s	um maybe Target the karmas a bit with
8016s	that a little too
8018s	um also interesting to note he's running
8019s	a single copy of Vanguard Sergeant as
8022s	well in the team of Leicester not only
8023s	will he have access access to Champion
8025s	strength uh but uh for the Ford demacia
8027s	too yeah it's it's pretty good and uh
8031s	we'll see how the white lineup will go
8033s	against us uh he's bringing himself also
8036s	fish Samira Echo Jinx and action
8039s	Pantheon it looks very similar to the
8042s	sheikhus lineup and at least it looks
8044s	very similar as well I would say even
8046s	carp car the same looking by one-offs
8051s	uh
8052s	yeah it looks like exactly the same
8054s	we've seen from the shihu yeah even with
8057s	the further yeah maybe they inspired
8061s	each other a bit before going before
8064s	going into the top cut
8067s	yeah
8068s	and we see Mr miraban and Champion
8071s	strike
8072s	now one thing to note those were she
8075s	who's lists because I'm seeing a Swain
8077s	allowing now and an aatrox Quinn on the
8080s	side of White Rock oh yeah we just had a
8082s	wrong screen we have a completely
8084s	different lineup uh yeah we have a queen
8087s	eight rocks we see the band of probably
8089s	Champion strength version because you're
8091s	like the whiter was anticipating the ban
8094s	on the champions league and he banned
8096s	this Samira so bio will have doubled
8098s	like double damasia lineup going into
8101s	the Elias Wayne I'm not sure how this
8104s	matches into the damasia versions I
8107s	would imagine the amount of the special
8108s	Shields that both decks via has is quite
8112s	significant which will should overcome
8114s	the Sweeney lawyer and the on the other
8117s	hand you have we have eight rocks vein
8119s	Queen the problem is the deck has a
8121s	strong LED but once there is a board
8123s	established from the Vistana attack the
8126s	Champions frame just completely shots
8128s	down the eight rocks and then on the
8130s	other side we have the kaisa G4 and
8133s	garden
8134s	all of those there like all of those
8136s	Champions match X exceptionally well
8138s	input the Swain oh we have the Sweeney
8142s	band in fact not the champion strength
8144s	those trippios are very good into the
8147s	eight-rox queen vein because they just
8148s	outside them the quick attack the German
8150s	coming with the barrier it's very
8152s	efficient into other Champions decks and
8155s	we'll see how it deals with the Swarm
8157s	into potential Champion strength but
8159s	again via I didn't quite catch if there
8161s	was a right of negation but that could
8163s	come in class for the champion strength
8165s	matchup
8166s	yeah it's going to be interesting
8168s	there are two rights of negations by the
8171s	way in badges list so it makes perfect
8173s	sense it wasn't a Champions tank upon
8176s	but it was in fact sweny lawyer and
8178s	instead because again you have a good
8180s	counter play into the Champions track
8182s	and I wouldn't be surprised if you
8184s	stitched the rights of negation you keep
8185s	it even opener because that's such a key
8187s	card in the matchup because you do not
8190s	lose the board and like there will be
8192s	like there is a point where it reaches
8194s	soulmate and the only way to break the
8196s	stallmate for the three standard deck is
8198s	a champion strength and that's where a
8199s	right of negation comes in clutch
8202s	yeah the only issue I think for white
8203s	rail would be this vein aatrox list is
8205s	probably going to have the biggest issue
8207s	here uh ideally they kind of want uh
8209s	white round really kind of wants to play
8211s	I guess the vein aatrox list into the
8214s	Garen j4 list a little bit and this kind
8218s	of the vice versa for Badger he wants to
8220s	kind of play
8221s	um his uh Garen j4 into the Teemo
8225s	Tristana right because he has those
8226s	rights so it's good depending on what
8229s	deck they decide to go for first it
8230s	could be beneficial for one or the other
8232s	there are some cans that uh atrox vein
8237s	Queen can steal away potential like
8240s	Valor we form up and the stairato weapon
8245s	it can just steal away the game still
8248s	away in the game when they try to remove
8249s	the Valor with like an ink and you just
8252s	double challenge remove two units from
8254s	the Vistana board
8256s	and suddenly you have no board over two
8258s	turns to remove anything anyway we
8261s	should be heading to the games shortly
8265s	and we have the champion strength
8267s	against Champion strength against Garen
8269s	Kaiser action we see gardening opener
8273s	avoid Blaster Mr Hunter and cataclysm we
8276s	might see a full movie gun to look for
8278s	the a bit earlier curve to look for the
8280s	evolved level up kaisa and potentially
8282s	write obligation drone and we see an
8284s	excellent care from the White Rock you
8286s	have literally the best you would have
8288s	hope or you have the team of development
8290s	into a grandfather include the owls into
8293s	the weapon into child to strength
8296s	yeah that's looking fantastic for white
8297s	raw
8298s	um the the owls are fantastic because
8300s	they're just annoying for Badger uh
8303s	they're just three ones most a lot of
8305s	the time that trade very efficiently
8307s	into a lot of uh the Evolve units
8310s	because usually they end up being around
8311s	sort of three HP a lot of them outside
8313s	of the wood loss of the overwhelm unit
8315s	which is fantastic and I will it's just
8318s	you can just trade away here and you'll
8320s	be fine if your bedroom white right I
8321s	mean you don't need to this turn it's
8322s	still a couple of turns away from evolve
8324s	actually uh being
8327s	active so for those of you guys who
8328s	don't know they have to play uh six
8330s	different keywords on their cards to get
8332s	the evolvement I'm never lucky
8336s	ah that would be such a content if this
8338s	was a scout
8339s	uh so here whiter realizes this matchup
8343s	is about it's not about his HP it's
8345s	about the Badgers HP so he chooses or to
8348s	develop the best possible threads to
8351s	apply as much damage as he can right now
8354s	and he knows she'll have a board space
8356s	issue and that one is training
8358s	efficiently because once we see evolve
8360s	this to one is not trading with the one
8362s	ones because they become 33 so you won't
8365s	take the trade as soon as you can and
8367s	the only downside to that is like you
8370s	[Music]
8372s	then you have no good blocker for the
8375s	free one spell shield
8376s	and also what's great is by the way that
8378s	development right around because it's
8380s	open deck lists uh knows there's nothing
8382s	like a badger bed to be worried about so
8384s	it can just develop straight into it and
8386s	because the his elusives are always
8387s	going to be safe yeah exactly so there
8390s	was no effort of the only downside by
8392s	transcend is there is no wire to run the
8395s	Mana
8397s	no mayor but we'll start to get this L
8400s	generating going the question right now
8402s	really becomes is uh do you just take
8406s	this seven I think there is a point now
8409s	where you should consider a trading
8412s	like I would I would love to see like an
8414s	old development to stop the special unit
8416s	from attacking because you do it would
8418s	not have attacked most likely
8421s	and it looks like waitara opts to use
8424s	Champion strength next turn uh without
8428s	Scout if he goes for the open attack
8433s	yeah the Kaiser level up coming here is
8436s	going to be crucial because those Buffs
8438s	are going to be great will allow
8440s	um Badger to block a bit more
8442s	efficiently can has double cataclysm in
8445s	the next turn as well
8446s	um to try and start chipping away a
8448s	little bit at White Ras board
8451s	the issue of White Rock has if there
8453s	will be oh he cannot be possibly open
8455s	attacking here I don't mind this because
8457s	you have two more units you have two
8459s	more units you can play Oh but I think
8461s	the problem is he has no great blockers
8464s	and like him buyer shouldn't be taking a
8466s	block on over well because he needs this
8468s	overwhelm for the Kaiser to finish the
8470s	game next turn and like now if the
8473s	Buster shot comes down you just lost
8475s	your wincon
8476s	to close the game next turn so buy it
8479s	blocking here
8481s	might be a potential misplay depends
8484s	what his game plan is for the next turn
8485s	but I would love to see him just close
8488s	the game with one of the old he what he
8490s	could have done next there and he's not
8492s	dying
8493s	I think to Champion strength
8495s	he could have taken overwhelm if you see
8499s	Champion strength you can take out one
8501s	fine just talk you just top deck another
8502s	overwhelm I mean you didn't have the
8504s	amount to close it
8505s	if you play this you don't have Mana for
8508s	the katakis for double Qatar quest in
8510s	this time and that was your way to close
8511s	the game well you might not have enough
8514s	Mana for double cataclysm your opponent
8516s	doesn't have enough manual Champion
8517s	strength so you actually push quite a
8519s	bit of damage here yeah so this should
8521s	be a wrap for the buyer with the amount
8524s	of the damage presented
8526s	you should be taking out Teemo exactly
8529s	so he removes the overwhelm blockers
8532s	uh I'm not a fan of that I think the
8535s	second Ultimo is better straight up I'm
8537s	coming for you I mean you can just cater
8538s	to the master and it's not a big deal
8543s	yeah but the Timo can block more
8544s	overwhelmed damage now and you could
8546s	have denied that over one block the
8548s	stern like there is no absolute no
8550s	reason you need that three three four
8552s	and like the only thing
8555s	this is the champion strength version so
8557s	you don't have to worry about stuff like
8559s	the price fight into the pink there is
8562s	like nothing that I think can really
8564s	kill Isa or deal with Isa so you should
8567s	be having a wrap
8569s	a little anyway if you pull the team up
8572s	and you thought you clean the you win
8574s	we've just attacked it is the overwhelm
8576s	damage right now
8579s	yeah I mean this is looking pretty much
8581s	like you mentioned white Rush should be
8584s	losing this match
8586s	um this is what Badger really wanted
8588s	though right he by the looks of it
8590s	wanted to bring this deck to beat these
8593s	demacia uh trist lists with the denies
8595s	may put himself in a very favorable
8597s	position here he's down to one HP and as
8600s	we know we can see the cataclysm coming
8602s	down here from Bayer and there's nothing
8604s	to stop it
8606s	hmm
8610s	yeah so white Russ set up your Champion
8612s	strength for the next turn detail but we
8615s	obviously know that's not gonna be good
8616s	enough because there will be a little uh
8620s	not quite coming out is it because it
8622s	doesn't hit the face
8624s	oh no it does hit the face yeah because
8626s	it's lower HP than uh because it's lower
8628s	HP so it's the second priority yeah and
8631s	even if they hit Teemo as well it would
8632s	still be enough to approach one damage
8634s	overall so yeah
8636s	pretty clean game the top Tech
8638s	overwhelmed sealed the game there I
8640s	think without the top deck it might be
8642s	tough to Winter
8644s	but
8647s	if you want to be the best player
8649s	sometimes you just have the top deck in
8651s	the right moment I'm just thinking if
8652s	that was like if you ever you know that
8654s	from experience you know that from
8656s	experience sometimes you just have to
8657s	top deck at the right moment
8660s	I'm just thinking like what was the game
8661s	plunder if you don't up the cover when
8663s	to win the game from the buyer's side
8664s	but well as you were to say it didn't
8667s	matter
8668s	well you still cataclysm and remove the
8670s	Teemo right so it would have been in
8672s	still kind of fine
8673s	yeah yeah you would kill the Teemo but I
8676s	there is way more things on the board
8678s	that you have to be worried about and
8680s	like opponent is not going to be
8681s	blocking as much because you don't have
8682s	the overwhelm on the Kaiser anyway going
8685s	to the game too we have we see already
8687s	Champion strength in the hand and attack
8689s	token on six so those two things
8691s	together are very very important
8695s	yeah and on the side of Bio we see a
8697s	bunch of form UPS uh they're primarily
8699s	going to be used to maybe sort of get
8701s	some better Early Trades to keep his
8703s	board to keep his board side a little
8705s	bit alive or to push a little bit of
8707s	extra damage however
8709s	it really does depend on what this
8710s	weapon Master hits and we see goes for
8713s	the the Mana I believe right you know
8715s	the quick attack is very good because it
8718s	helps you push the damage or take out
8720s	the blocker you can just freely swing
8721s	with it it's probably the best in this
8723s	situation
8725s	yeah it's a fantastic option the other
8726s	options would be overwhelm I believe or
8728s	Scout those are the those are the three
8730s	premium ones
8732s	I'm a bit surprised he took that lightly
8734s	that to one damage without thinking
8736s	about blocking it
8739s	because again you have to like HP is a
8741s	resource but you have to respect that
8743s	resource even yeah so he's thinking that
8746s	he's attacking on turn six but when open
8750s	are good opponent can set up his own
8752s	board this morning and that allows him
8754s	to counter Champions so like you should
8757s	have that in by that yes you should be
8759s	prioritizing on keeping elusive but you
8762s	should also be respecting your HP
8764s	yeah I mean we're getting close to that
8766s	champion strength turn from both players
8767s	they both have that as an option
8770s	um
8771s	the quick attack
8773s	as you mentioned it's going to be huge
8775s	in the champion strength turns because
8776s	the uh the Champions even if you sort of
8780s	respond with the champion strength you
8782s	have this one unit who's just going to
8783s	Chip Away
8784s	yeah so the thing is buffers needs to
8787s	keep six months for the next turn so
8789s	like whenever one player is Checkers
8792s	second one contemplate it with the
8794s	Champions right because the second best
8796s	answer if you don't deny it is just
8798s	either remove your needs or player out
8800s	of your strength
8802s	yeah I mean you have the options uh
8804s	buyers actually got a couple of
8805s	interesting options you can obviously
8807s	not play Champion strike and go for
8809s	something like a group shot try Whittle
8810s	down the board but that unfortunately
8811s	doesn't really work well in sort of the
8813s	long term you still end up losing most
8815s	of it and you can see form up here uh
8817s	being used by buyer to preserve his
8819s	board recognizes next turn is a
8821s	potential Champion strike turn I need to
8823s	potentially counter it
8825s	the problem with this trait is white
8827s	truck cannot develop through your needs
8829s	and keep the money off for Champions
8832s	track so that play was a bit that the
8836s	block there
8838s	might be a bit off if because like if
8841s	you do the block here you should be
8842s	blocking content tool as well
8845s	yeah the the problem by it happened
8847s	actually has this turn a little bit is
8849s	obviously
8851s	um whiterard gets the scouts with the
8853s	elusive that you can't do anything about
8854s	so that's a straight up 10 damage but it
8857s	doesn't get the Scout with the eight
8858s	attack damage here as well either just
8860s	gets a single attack there
8861s	but fire will get 8 damage a quick
8864s	attack as well unit so it's not too bad
8865s	and
8869s	I'm thinking if it's ever a play to
8872s	swing with anything else here from there
8875s	what you definitely jump you jump so you
8877s	can jump yeah it's completely look at
8879s	your hand you got like 100 ounce it's
8883s	fine
8888s	there is bundle gutters so like his game
8892s	plan
8894s	I think this is fine you'll find trading
8897s	a lot of this off
8899s	because you have so much refill yeah you
8902s	have the refills for you right off
8906s	yeah
8908s	way more resources you have like yeah
8910s	you can just grind upon it out
8912s	and like you want to develop Tristana
8914s	into those all also operating office is
8917s	definitely correct yeah just purely
8920s	number of units right so white rocking
8922s	just blocks the days here
8923s	um and you know there's no threat of a
8925s	second Champion strength coming down
8926s	this turn so uh your life tote was most
8929s	likely going to be fine
8930s	um there is a little bit of impact
8931s	damage coming down here let's see what
8933s	wardrobe can we get
8938s	it's an impact at least so that's four
8940s	damage coming through
8945s	yeah that's uh a lot of damage
8950s	yep two off
8952s	was there a there was no way for buyers
8956s	[Music]
8957s	you have to block more because you just
8959s	like to impact
8961s	you have to blow you have to stay at a
8963s	higher HP yeah the only benefit
8964s	obviously you go Tristana and then
8968s	uh you want to set up
8971s	as million a million different back
8972s	damage time right so you've got your
8974s	style and just start playing out
8981s	he gets back he gets bundle Gunners down
8983s	to zero
8985s	yeah it should be a little from water
8987s	unless there is some interaction from
8989s	buyer we've seen No Interruption and
8992s	that's also a team mode that will not
8993s	connect because there are group shots
8995s	are not bad but you can also kill his or
8999s	no he cannot kill his own unit with
9000s	group shot unless he double casted so he
9003s	can stop three standard damage
9007s	and he needs to keep he needs to keep
9009s	alive he's impact cards
9012s	so much impact holy moly
9015s	one two three four plus so he can be no
9019s	he can't be at one because he has no
9020s	blockers so he's just dead
9023s	yeah I don't think there's an answer
9024s	here oh buyer which is unfortunate
9026s	because by it looked to be in a okay
9028s	spot but this is the issue if you don't
9030s	have Champion strength on your attacking
9032s	turn you have to play defensively in
9033s	this matchup
9035s	it's not great though
9037s	I think the champion didn't matter that
9039s	that elusive to drop matter it's the
9041s	amount of the alcat generated this much
9043s	of matter
9044s	because like if you look how many times
9046s	did the uh want to elusive connected and
9050s	generated all cards it was two or three
9051s	across the across the game so like just
9054s	having those units trading of opponents
9056s	three units is absolutely massive
9060s	so buyer can remove
9065s	istana
9073s	I mean she can just double block weight
9075s	you can just double shoot Vistana
9077s	technically and then block the other one
9079s	but
9080s	still dead
9082s	no matter what
9083s	I don't know why he overweightened the
9085s	better card because this way he is
9089s	forcing to fight us
9091s	okay if you just kill the Tristan or he
9093s	started to block the other one I don't
9095s	think it makes a difference yeah but I'm
9096s	just saying like the damage
9099s	he does the shows his hand he could have
9101s	just shown like you can look at this
9102s	point
9104s	like I mean you know that from the
9105s	double group show anyway it's irrelevant
9107s	white Rod takes game one up again uh
9109s	against fire here um
9113s	third series
9115s	which is fantastic
9116s	um we get to see more Rune Terror action
9118s	which is always what we want to see and
9120s	we get to see this match up here uh with
9123s	with the vayne atrox Quinn up against
9125s	the Champion's strength and as we spoke
9126s	about it a little bit earlier Champion
9128s	strength is probably the most important
9131s	card here
9132s	um and you can just completely blot the
9135s	game against white raw however there are
9137s	opportunities that we can see from right
9139s	raw as we see the dark in hop is
9141s	fantastic blocking Badger bear is
9143s	fantastic to deal with the L Generation
9146s	Um it's been able to combine those maybe
9148s	with like a Valor uh maybe a couple
9150s	other cards and to try and stall out to
9153s	get to the aatrox term
9156s	so in terms of like if the both players
9159s	break there where there is a world where
9160s	Champions strike attack can win without
9162s	Champion strength Blackberry cristana
9164s	smoking a bunch of times since the eye
9168s	drops deck doesn't have that many good
9169s	blockers
9172s	but we see this is a premium hand like
9175s	that's what we talked about the Valor
9177s	with uh the heart which is very
9180s	important but the problem is for this to
9183s	risk this play you need to have some
9185s	sort of backup like warm up because if
9188s	opponent has a ping you just committed
9190s	for Mana
9192s	and
9193s	lost you just lost like all the temple
9197s	so if you ever choose to like in this
9199s	spot you obviously don't go for it
9201s	because I lose if you can just reply
9203s	better then you can you can stabilize
9206s	the board and start presenting six per
9207s	turn and you have an excellent buffer of
9210s	two two times that can take out one like
9212s	broken block twice
9214s	yeah you have the uh the Fisher kit to
9216s	start chipping away and removing stuff
9218s	too which is fantastic and there is the
9220s	chat the second Champion straight from
9221s	fire which is uh not ideal
9224s	um but not unwelcome right because you
9226s	can play one clear out the board and
9227s	play out another one on the following
9229s	turn what we have to notice is just that
9233s	which makes Champions strength way
9236s	better because after like attacking turn
9238s	earlier doesn't let opponents stabilize
9240s	enough or clear your Port enough
9242s	and it's very very premium yeah and also
9246s	now with the HP weapon the zero two is
9249s	going to be great because that will
9252s	allow this Valor to potentially get a
9254s	trade or two here
9256s	so what's via looking at he just wants
9258s	to block minimum he just wants to
9260s	develop the
9262s	just wants to develop units to get the
9265s	value out of the
9268s	let your assignment done so all things
9269s	is just a full board for the next turn
9272s	and we see a fish fight in the hand
9274s	which will probably look to remove a
9275s	unit tester under the next turn
9278s	yeah because you know buyer is going for
9279s	the the Stray up Champion strength
9281s	that's like that's like the first action
9283s	of the next turn
9285s	the shield so like this way it doesn't
9288s	allow a white ride to attack very
9291s	efficiently into you because then again
9294s	you crush one unit into the shield
9297s	so it chips away the damage I also
9300s	really like that fish hook on the the
9301s	mayor to the right because it hadn't had
9303s	its effect
9305s	um being used of discounting the units
9307s	so it stopped by actually developing one
9309s	more additional unit that turn yes it's
9311s	an excellent point
9314s	and that's a champion strength from four
9316s	units which is not a spottedness of 3.5
9318s	units here so that that was a very good
9320s	turn from white raw uh realizing that he
9323s	needs to remove as long as units as he
9325s	can and now
9328s	he needs to get rid of like something
9331s	yeah he needs to start from removing at
9335s	least one unit so you probably want to
9337s	remove the seven six as it's best
9339s	started and you want to probably set up
9341s	removing another unit after the combat
9344s	there's a consideration to remove the
9347s	alcat just because it has spell shield
9348s	and you have potential but you don't
9350s	have an interaction right now
9353s	like you have to plan your next turn and
9355s	what are you killing now like there is a
9357s	chance you can drop the finances
9361s	are trading you can choose the atrox and
9364s	the block with one unit and then not
9366s	block the rest
9368s	and you can try to start swinging at the
9371s	next turn uh back to getting HP back and
9374s	just hope there is no checklist right
9375s	and you can come back on the back of the
9378s	eight rocks
9379s	yeah I mean aatrox is going to be the
9381s	card that will
9383s	um pretty much win right around the game
9385s	however there's there really is there
9386s	are interesting uh choices here on both
9390s	sides because the blocking here does
9391s	mean you lose your a trucks trucks
9398s	yeah you just take this block and ignore
9400s	the rest so the play for the next turn
9403s	is play vain play as The Defector and
9407s	you can start the problem is you don't
9410s	have Mana for the vein tumbles you might
9413s	be tumble you might be you need to
9417s	threaten upon end that's a fight by then
9421s	it doesn't matter I think at this point
9424s	you need to present oh he goes with the
9426s	eight trucks actually
9428s	so I think important was to present
9431s	opponent 12 with The Defector the stern
9434s	so he doesn't get like he doesn't get to
9437s	keep his board I mean from this line it
9440s	seems like the fact is not coming down
9441s	but aatrox is gonna tumble right with
9445s	the quick attack
9446s	I mean
9448s	with the quick attack you're fine right
9450s	you can put you can quit the quick
9452s	attack on eight drops but you don't get
9453s	the reason you risk it here you can
9454s	still lose it to like double group shot
9456s	like
9457s	is to use like so many resources okay
9460s	now you can't yeah it's just it seems
9463s	like you can't really get the vector now
9464s	because you've gone for that attack
9466s	already so it's a you're kind of putting
9468s	yourself in this yeah this is the line I
9470s	don't necessarily agree with the light
9471s	but this is the line where I was uh
9475s	because there's a tap out right it's
9477s	fine
9478s	yeah no no it's okay but like I'm
9480s	thinking about your next turn like
9484s	also like buyer didn't prepare a
9485s	champion string for the next turn even
9487s	though he had an opportunity too
9491s	yeah well he has double my own play now
9493s	there's only one of my own play
9495s	I mean that's what two impacts coming in
9497s	through
9499s	um there's two heels of those kind of
9500s	negate each other
9502s	you probably give up your a trucks here
9504s	I believe
9506s	if you are white rare
9509s	very well
9514s	okay electing to give up the vein okay
9516s	this is also fine
9526s	that's a pretty good play that's a very
9528s	good sequencing for the group shot blind
9532s	to threaten little and that's gonna be
9534s	oh no there is a condom still okay yeah
9536s	he can use that single condemn here on
9539s	aatrox too on the three one right wait
9541s	oh no he's doing this to play around
9543s	another group shot another group shot
9548s	ah
9550s	it's it does save two HP
9552s	I thought I don't like
9554s	but you're saving
9556s	cards you're saving four effective two
9559s	two HP by just group shooting the three
9560s	one right so you should just do it
9561s	anyway if they grouped up the three one
9563s	again that's four damage removed
9570s	and he now gets another eight rods which
9572s	allows him to hit back and I'm not
9575s	setting up champions league for this
9576s	turn for Bio might be the losing play I
9579s	mean I think Bayer has to just open
9581s	Champions strength on the next I mean
9583s	yeah if you're a full developer board
9584s	and fuel Champions which might just be
9586s	enough because uh White Rod's gonna have
9588s	too many actions to do anything about it
9590s	right so if white Rover goes what
9591s	Defector into Champion strength so
9594s	that's it that's game now
9598s	I don't know why not develop weapon like
9600s	playing to what top deck
9602s	spread in the top deck yeah just a
9604s	threaten I guess yeah
9605s	because now white rice what we're gonna
9607s	play the aatrox spell which is a bit too
9609s	expensive and then Badger plays yeah
9612s	defected again too slow because he's
9614s	just playing yeah he could actually
9615s	Scout with The Defector and he could uh
9625s	that you need to keep up man at this
9626s	time probably
9632s	if that's enough though
9635s	oh if you buy a blocks here he needs to
9638s	block oh that's a really good time yeah
9640s	and then the catch comes in with the
9641s	quick attack which is huge that's a
9643s	really huge but will it matter there is
9645s	an eight seven overwhelm which cannot be
9648s	taken out by the eight drops
9652s	yeah but you only take you can block
9653s	with The Defector and and atrox or
9656s	something else right you can not take
9657s	the impact you don't take the impact
9659s	damage you can kill late rocks to not
9660s	take the impact damage block p87 and you
9663s	should in theory be fine
9667s	that's pretty good
9672s	parallel
9674s	this is such an interesting match
9675s	because we thought it was pretty much
9677s	all over at that turn with the champion
9678s	strength I mean he took out a lot of
9681s	units from Bayern before so and he had
9684s	an option to try to pretty well and they
9686s	trucks with the healing coming clutch
9687s	it's just like just not setting up the
9690s	Champions League The Turning before was
9692s	a bit weird line like like he set up a
9695s	turn like this steering with champion
9697s	strength but I think he's just
9698s	significantly worse I'm not sure if I
9701s	like that line as much yeah because you
9702s	take you take the one extra damage this
9704s	is better keep the impact I mean he'll
9706s	figure it out yeah
9710s	and you take uh only a little bit here
9712s	but you heal up so it kind of doesn't
9714s	matter
9716s	so remember when I mentioned that he
9718s	should have developed weapon on elusive
9721s	he couldn't kill the with eight of
9724s	Lucifer because eight of us would have
9726s	died
9729s	uh yes no Lucy would be no no no because
9734s	uh have two more damage
9736s	and when I close dies from the strike
9738s	from the if he does the
9746s	yeah it would be fine yeah you're right
9751s	ear mats as we know the uh we we rely on
9756s	the eye to do our maths yeah we put one
9758s	because I focused on the third before
9760s	buyer one he just got another attack and
9763s	he just won all right nice
9766s	the Congress devaya
9769s	clean play and she had just a bit
9771s	different game plan what I would have
9773s	preferred to go with but again it worked
9775s	out for him so definitely worth it yeah
9778s	he managed to remove the whole board and
9780s	then he obviously has the open attack
9781s	with like a two units on the board and
9783s	there's no interact that deck has no
9785s	interaction without having units on the
9787s	board the vein a truck's list is reliant
9789s	on doing combat tricks uh to remove
9792s	stuff yeah the trip the champion
9794s	strength into uh Queen atrox is uh
9798s	better than the binge water because you
9800s	get those massive bodies that can break
9802s	through and there is a side of few
9804s	interaction cards there is not much a
9806s	truck Swain can do besides removing with
9809s	like The Valor uh to like two blockers
9812s	and for potentially fish fight the turn
9814s	before the champion strength which will
9816s	quite rather exceptionally well but
9818s	again it was not enough even though he
9820s	had lost the premium turns it was not
9822s	enough to to stop a buyer from just
9824s	coming after him and yeah that's just
9827s	how it is right it's does that matchup
9829s	is uh a tough uphill battle for the vein
9833s	a trucks it's kind of like they're
9833s	always kind of on the back foot for the
9836s	majority of that game just looking for
9838s	little trades here and there trying to
9840s	keep themselves alive for that champion
9842s	strength turn
9843s	and we have a fantastic next match lined
9846s	up for you guys we have duno uh versus
9848s	Robo master and we're hopping in here
9850s	and it looks like a bilge water Tristana
9852s	list up against the Samira Pantheon
9857s	oh we see the Samira taking down the
9860s	Tristana that's a very very big trade
9862s	but there is coming down
9866s	we're usually pretty good for the
9868s	pantheon Samira and we can see that the
9871s	Samira is leveling up pretty heavily
9873s	into the match
9876s	and there are power plays that that
9879s	sorry that do not has but the problem
9881s	with this tire is super awkward because
9883s	duno has literally three unplayable
9885s	cards for this turn maybe like he'll
9888s	play equipment to remove equipment like
9890s	the replay the signpost remove equipment
9892s	but that's about it like his stand is
9895s	super dead the the bundle gun is
9897s	expensive he cannot play both it's just
9900s	looking grim
9902s	yeah and the score is one one so duno
9904s	has to win right here and which is a bit
9906s	upsetting for me because I did say I
9907s	wanted Juno to make it all the way
9909s	through no
9911s	find the winning Donald doesn't have to
9913s	win as best you know what's my fan
9916s	favorite my Caster choice at the
9918s	beginning of the event so but this hand
9920s	bias here this is disagrees with you
9924s	that understand is clearly oh you are
9926s	not winning buddy
9931s	this game has had to be in horrific
9934s	draws for doodle It's 106 and you played
9937s	and you had Meyer in play so that means
9939s	you generated one you have to normally
9941s	draw two cards that are mostly followed
9944s	that's a very low roll
9946s	does get the the draw from the puzzling
9950s	um which is it's normally used as the
9952s	deny but do not hear uh Optics use it
9954s	for the sort of the Draw slash equipment
9956s	removal
9957s	um which again just shows how desperate
9960s	of a situation this is like you have
9962s	nothing to spend your mother you you
9964s	keep a unit alive
9966s	it's all right
9968s	nothing fancy but it's a play you can
9970s	make
9971s	yeah I mean it does get the pie toss but
9975s	the problem is now samira's leveled
9977s	samira's gone up to three HP it's been
9978s	healed right back up and now your
9980s	Samurai is attacking a bunch of times
9982s	yes exactly you are now scared of the
9985s	the consistent or multiple attacks
9989s	coming here from Sumerian you can give
9991s	it over one this turn too
9994s	so first dunov I think he wants to check
9997s	first if there will be coming down the
9999s	boat this turn before a robo master code
10002s	like before openmaster wants to commit
10003s	to the spell sheet perhaps to Samira he
10005s	wants to check out if there is like a
10007s	boat to play around I don't think you
10009s	ever commit that special right you just
10010s	go over one
10012s	oh I think uh and then you got the spell
10014s	as a backup
10016s	oh I think spreadsheet is better because
10018s	you like if you take out the opponent's
10019s	Pawn you never lose you don't need to
10022s	kill a bonnet you can just kill his
10024s	whole board and when you attack him in
10026s	one turn
10028s	it's an option you don't have to go for
10030s	it but like keeping uh like like how
10033s	opponent can remove Samira bastard shot
10035s	and that's it and like some prize fight
10038s	plus ping
10039s	and yeah their only option is literally
10041s	pressed for that plus Pig and there's
10043s	double spell shield so and do you want
10045s	to have spell shield for the combat
10047s	later if your Pawn tries to do something
10048s	sneaky
10052s	impact so like you'd rather have a
10054s	combat trick in your hand than the unit
10056s	that can provide the style sheet which
10058s	you cannot remember
10062s	forever my friend
10064s	and Samira is going to be very close to
10067s	getting the rally here because you what
10069s	you really want if you are Robin Masters
10071s	to rarely remove the boat because that
10073s	boat can spiral out of control the other
10075s	units you're not that worried about
10077s	uh but having the access to a lot of
10080s	price fights is going to be a problem
10083s	we'll see here
10085s	if you love The Boat it's just a matter
10087s	of what Robo Master chooses to use the
10089s	cards to rally on
10092s	keeping challenges probably smart but
10095s	also keep in mind I would be pretty nice
10096s	you could technically challenge another
10098s	like you could put a challenger on the
10100s	33 to take out something else you know
10103s	that doula's hand was very awkward uh if
10106s	you put him
10111s	on the bundle Gunners because how the
10114s	game played out like blasters he
10115s	developed One Union to sign for post
10117s	combat that sounds very weird you
10120s	already know that he had a boat so you
10122s	know that the rest of the cards is very
10124s	likely to be something expensive and you
10127s	know those are probably not spells
10129s	so like there is a good chance
10131s	troublemaster knows that it's a bundle
10133s	Gunners in the hand and one random car
10136s	that he's unaware of
10138s	that it's more expensive than five mana
10141s	and it's not a unit that there is a good
10143s	chance that the robots are discussing on
10145s	the double Vote or double bundle left in
10148s	the hand or like one of the other and
10151s	another
10152s	yeah dinner recognizing this price fight
10154s	kind of just needs to remove the spell
10155s	shield from Samira because you are
10158s	desperate to maybe try find another
10159s	surprise fight or some other way of
10161s	removing this mirror on the following
10162s	turn
10163s	um
10164s	other than that you are basically
10166s	relying on this bandwagon is to try and
10168s	win you this game
10173s	task you put on the little bundle
10176s	Gunner's back
10178s	that bundle scanner is yeah you are
10181s	looking at Samira that's smacking you
10183s	every turn
10185s	yeah I mean it's the other option is if
10187s	you're submit if you're broken Master
10189s	you can just play the lodestone As the
10191s	dark in itself nah no way you definitely
10194s	rally the stone you do not let Upon A
10197s	Brief you keep pushing here is the only
10201s	way you could lose this game
10204s	if you're a robot monster quick attack
10206s	to increase the attack is all right
10210s	pot of pain is potentially not enough No
10214s	it should be fine too you go for an
10216s	impact because you look at the point of
10218s	damage the component is blocking now
10220s	every time and this triggers not a level
10223s	up
10226s	you definitely go for the impact
10228s	I mean that is if you even get a chance
10232s	to I mean you have to present something
10234s	like it's not like like you you can
10237s	concede as well but like if he's just
10239s	making an electrician play oh I don't
10242s	know if I necessarily agree with this
10244s	I mean you just you you kill your
10246s	opponent it's fine oh you're going well
10248s	in Def cool yeah
10255s	take their boat or bundle Gunner and you
10258s	know there is one more random card
10261s	and yeah he's literally finishing his
10263s	opponent into Paris this way I mean
10265s	isn't it potentially really close to
10266s	Stone as well
10269s	he's dying
10273s	unfortunate though because I was really
10276s	really looking forward to Juno making it
10278s	but I don't yes you're right I don't see
10280s	a way what do you know to turn this game
10282s	around
10284s	foreign
10302s	but we're just gonna be playing out the
10304s	Motions you know we've seen this in
10305s	rentera historically where
10307s	um usually the state of the board ends
10310s	up being like this for like a turn or
10311s	two
10312s	um because what happens is usually the
10313s	board Centric deck loses the board
10316s	um and then on the other deck sort of
10318s	takes the turn or two to finish it off
10320s	that's a top deck but oh that order
10323s	straw Pantheon you get to finish it off
10324s	this turn no I mean it doesn't matter
10326s	like what he does it's over yeah
10329s	Well turns out that Riot can take away
10332s	from Robo Master timelines and the men
10334s	will simply not care if he'll come back
10337s	swinging with another deck I mean he he
10340s	was the timeline ins connoisseur for
10343s	years wasn't he oh
10345s	like that he was they would
10348s	always it was always noisy timelines
10349s	even when timelines wasn't good yep that
10352s	was the most timelines enjoyer I've ever
10355s	seen
10357s	and unfortunately I mean you have to
10359s	recognize sometimes when your favorite
10360s	deck just isn't cut out anymore I mean
10364s	he had a good success with it yeah he
10366s	did but had to move on right with
10369s	rotation and everything
10371s	that was it yeah
10373s	[Music]
10375s	the board he has he can rally with the
10379s	Samira pretty sure it's a two out of six
10382s	he can play his whole hand it's just how
10385s	he chooses to do so
10387s	is just doing a little coping here
10392s	before we have a rub
10395s	you know just hoping there isn't a rally
10397s	but we we all know there's oh no this
10399s	was rubblemaster poor soul he's bming
10403s	him
10406s	and that is the rally
10415s	congratulations to Robin Musser as I
10416s	said top eight here at the first ever
10419s	sort of Worlds open which is fantastic
10422s	um still has potential for more but that
10424s	at least secures them a decent number of
10427s	points as well as uh the sort of the
10431s	nine points as well as sort of getting
10432s	themselves into the the pricing so that
10435s	is fantastic for them they they've at
10436s	least secured a minimum amount of
10437s	pricing of the 250 dollars
10440s	yeah like again pretty clean lines and
10443s	that we've seen out of Tristana today
10446s	huh
10447s	I mean we were expecting it and it'd be
10451s	silly not to bring it right it's such a
10453s	powerful Deck with many different
10455s	variants
10456s	um there were options obviously to try
10458s	and Target other lineups that had while
10460s	running it as an option but why why
10464s	change something that's not broken I
10465s	mean a cool thing to note this I think
10467s	is like the power level of the decks if
10469s	we take like pristana Samira patio
10472s	Samira face Echo Jinx guarant Kai so we
10475s	have a lot of decks that are very good
10477s	and there is no clear like oh this deck
10479s	power levels every other deck there are
10482s	even Karma said when where Karma was
10484s	additionally unplayable for two three
10487s	years and now it's actually people are
10489s	bringing like I was the one bringing
10491s	them as a meme to the tournaments and
10493s	now people are playing in this deck as
10495s	on the competitive level that warms my
10498s	heart
10499s	I mean you there was a number of periods
10502s	of time throughout the terror history
10504s	where Karma was very strong
10508s	not often not often I'll give you that
10511s	but there were periods if you go all the
10513s	way back there was the original Karma
10514s	Ezreal at the beginning sort of the beta
10517s	area it was barely playable
10520s	and then you had the go hard iteration
10522s	which kept talking oh
10525s	tournament
10531s	it depends on the when we're talking
10533s	about the pack of costs the Packer uh
10535s	the pack your bags costs change right if
10537s	it's before pack change oh before it was
10541s	decent yeah exactly see there you have
10543s	to remember the amount of changes that
10544s	have happened through our entire history
10545s	where they're all weeks and sort of
10547s	moments where pretty much every champ
10549s	has had sort of its time to shine apart
10552s	from apart from one or two but
10553s	unfortunately that's gonna be it we're
10554s	gonna hop to a short break and when
10556s	we're back we will have some more action
10558s	for you guys later

11321s	thank you
11323s	and everyone welcome back we are here
11327s	with me gems and Alan here yet again
11330s	going through
11331s	so much fantastic Rune Terror action and
11333s	what you guys just missed was a
11335s	thrilling top 16 match up here between
11339s	all uh the Fantastic winter plays we've
11341s	been seeing we just had a buyer versus
11344s	white bra where badge attack was able to
11346s	win 2-1 and on top of that we had Robo
11349s	win against duno with another very solid
11352s	2-1 victory
11356s	I took a peek in the chat and Chad was
11359s	screaming missed little I'm actually I
11361s	didn't see it but there is a chance
11363s	there was a potential little for the
11366s	atrox player this was the turn where he
11368s	could have technically played the world
11371s	in there and try to swing for little
11372s	with catch but there is a 7 HP unit we
11377s	can swim potentially for 11. and that's
11382s	not enough that's for so that's one of
11384s	little anyway
11385s	so no that was that didn't look like a
11388s	little against Champion strength but
11390s	again Robo mastered the white rather
11393s	know that there is a champion string so
11394s	he could have technically presented a
11396s	little and if there is a champion
11397s	strength well that's unlucky I suppose
11400s	yeah it was a fantastic series of
11402s	matches here and then we saw just some
11404s	very sort of straightforward standards
11406s	Samira Pantheon play where Samira popped
11409s	off and we just saw a million attacks
11410s	happening every single turn so we were
11411s	clearing up the board which allowed for
11414s	Rover to win there quite comfortably and
11417s	wow it's great runetera we've seen some
11420s	fantastic play overall throughout this
11422s	day and we're going shortly into our top
11424s	eight which is again gonna be stacked
11427s	I've had a brief look at it during this
11429s	break but it is a stacked top eight as
11431s	we can see
11434s	so we can see Bucky versus kamillari 30
11437s	Simon vs Anna felly's cope Robo Master
11440s	versus spikes and by buyage attack
11442s	versus tilted
11444s	oh we have some great Series going here
11446s	bokeh camillary definitely two known
11448s	players Grinders and they keep making
11452s	deeper runs into those tournaments uh
11455s	Simon just being salty and being in the
11458s	top cut finally breaking through the top
11460s	32 round
11461s	uh robomaster without his timelines
11464s	getting through against spikes and went
11468s	by again still The Tilden die after a
11470s	short break and making it to a fruit to
11472s	top eight it's impressive yeah I mean
11475s	from this top eight who do you reckon
11477s	has the capability to go all the way
11479s	through because quite a lot of them do
11480s	but who do you think they're actually
11481s	gonna do it
11484s	hmm all of the players are good uh I
11487s	don't know much of the
11489s	I'm sorry I I I butchered that one I
11494s	know yes
11495s	I don't know much of the of the player
11498s	so I um and the rest of the players are
11501s	pretty capable by the way I think has
11502s	the most experience in competing in the
11505s	in the environment but he also plays too
11507s	fast so he can go both ways tilt it
11510s	looked very clean today I think I was
11512s	most impressed with how tilted played we
11514s	didn't see much Bucky today and
11516s	I'm curious how how the day goes for him
11519s	and his lines
11522s	and yeah camillary might be also the
11525s	Dark Horse of the tournament because we
11527s	didn't see him much yet but uh maybe
11529s	that's that's the open but that's the
11531s	beauty of opens uh you get players you
11534s	don't know about appearing and getting a
11535s	chance to make it all the way through
11536s	like I know fairies we've not seen them
11538s	in the competitive circuit before
11541s	um and they've had a chance to make it
11542s	through beautiful thing but we're going
11543s	to be hopping into our first top eight
11546s	match of the day and it's going to be
11547s	Bucky versus camillari and let's have a
11550s	look at Bucky's list that they've
11551s	brought there is the na Justina uh
11555s	bundle list we have the Fizz Samira and
11559s	on top of that the vein vein Queen atrox
11562s	here with one of judgment oh
11566s	that's the anti-champion strength attack
11569s	that's uh that's a very spicy one huh I
11572s	mean it's not necessarily just
11573s	anti-champion strength it's just
11575s	anti-bando swarm right
11577s	yeah but against it's not a good card
11580s	into the bilgewater because you just
11583s	lose to a price fight plus pink and
11586s	there are six beings that fast space
11587s	that are free prize fights and when
11589s	there is a Kings card that gives you one
11591s	so like I wouldn't Advantage there is a
11593s	five punch Pablo
11595s	and that can generate you on so and
11597s	there is signpost so again there is a
11600s	lot of counter play to the judgment and
11602s	against Champion strength they do not
11604s	have manager to do anything afterwards
11606s	where you can just slam judgment or you
11608s	can at least Bluff judgment and the
11611s	opponent has to make a call do I call or
11613s	do I pass
11615s	yeah the fifth mirror is looking like a
11617s	pretty standard Fitz and mirror list
11619s	um has got an inclusion of heavy metal
11621s	in there thumbless do run it some of the
11623s	stove probably just to play around any
11624s	sort of equipment decks maybe pen to
11626s	mirror that sort of stuff
11628s	um can be quite handy can be used again
11630s	in the band or mirror just to remove two
11631s	HP there's a lot of two HP units in that
11634s	deck so
11635s	um overall looking fine there
11637s	um I mean that the fisa Mira book is
11639s	presenting is very greedy because we see
11642s	double in Fair now we see one eye of
11644s	negative we see Triple Barb so there is
11647s	a lot of
11648s	there is a lot of card draw and we'll
11650s	see how it matches against the camillary
11652s	lineup
11654s	yeah and we can see there's the team of
11656s	Tristana from camillary as well uh
11659s	another Fizz
11662s	um Samira here as well as the echo Jinx
11665s	that we've been seeing throughout the
11666s	day too so very similar sort of uh
11668s	strategies from both kind of players
11669s	differing in on that third deck here
11672s	we see just the Classic goldface lineup
11675s	just go white go face this summer just
11678s	being the fastest with again we see
11680s	that's the triple jacked battery again
11683s	just trying to go early turn two turn
11686s	three with double triple development
11687s	with those splendors and then trying to
11690s	close the game with the powder
11691s	pandemonium and when we have a coaching
11694s	is a bit slower establish the board with
11696s	the voice of the reason with the Chrono
11697s	brace as a Chrono break as a backup or
11700s	right of negation and uh another
11703s	Tristana a bit the slower version of
11706s	triple gander's Kings card just a bit
11708s	more consistent than the champion
11710s	strength because it doesn't rely on you
11712s	holding the board for the champion
11714s	strength and you can make efficient
11716s	trades across the game and finish up
11718s	with those price fights cast on the
11720s	impact units on attack
11723s	yeah so initial Impressions what do you
11725s	think who who do you reckon it's got
11727s	uh I mean it's gonna be tough right it
11729s	just depends on where these potential
11731s	bands are going to end up between these
11732s	two players because two of their lists
11735s	are very similar uh with some minor
11737s	differences obviously as we can see with
11739s	the the Bucky side had the greedier
11741s	version of the fifth Samira well as
11743s	camerari doesn't have Inferno and other
11746s	stuff could play a role in this in terms
11748s	of being able to dig for additional
11751s	powder Panda minions or could end up
11753s	falling a little bit behind right
11754s	because they draw The Inferno when they
11756s	don't want it and then they're facing
11757s	the aggressive versions let's just
11759s	slamming powder pandemon I think the
11762s	Buns should be very straightforward
11763s	because like I think Camilla should just
11765s	get rid of the aatrox queen because all
11768s	of his uh matchups doesn't pair well
11770s	into it I suppose Echo Jinx has a tools
11773s	to deal with it but within the quicksand
11775s	and the
11776s	one Mana spell but again it's not the
11780s	optimal ones and on the bulky side he
11783s	should be buying that one will match up
11785s	because if there is a chance like also
11788s	Echo Jinx does a very well link with
11789s	Samira and the three standard and then
11793s	it has a decent side like the the
11796s	matchup against vain aatrops is like the
11800s	most close so like again yeah exactly
11803s	those ones we see because movie players
11805s	realize those are that they are possibly
11807s	the worst mess-ups and then we're gonna
11809s	have just mirrors
11812s	yeah I mean the mirrors will end up
11814s	potentially being I mean we might not
11816s	even see a mirror there's a chance like
11818s	the opposite decks play against each
11820s	other depending on uh how they choose to
11822s	choose their their first deck I'm a
11824s	proponent of just 50 50. just choose one
11827s	at random doesn't really matter oh it
11829s	does better I am a believer that it does
11832s	matter
11833s	really you can get into your opponent's
11835s	hand yeah
11836s	but this is the problem you end up with
11837s	just going back and forth all the time
11838s	to the point you might as well have just
11840s	gone 50 50. it depends if you have
11842s	history with your opponent or if you are
11843s	aware of your opponent and his violent
11845s	big strategies oh there there it does
11848s	matter there is somebody
11850s	if you know they just pick 50 50 then oh
11854s	true like if you know I mean yeah even
11856s	the opponent is just like uh close the
11858s	eyes slum at the deck then yeah sure
11861s	that's why it's the best strategy
11863s	because you then you get yourself out of
11866s	that with sort of back and forth
11867s	nonsense
11870s	sure
11872s	I like getting it's a little bit like no
11875s	you can't do that you can't the only
11877s	especially in this one there's a double
11878s	mirror right you either want mirror you
11880s	don't and you're gonna have to decide
11882s	whether you want mirror based on your
11883s	Tech choices camillary might be wanting
11885s	the mirror because they've got that
11887s	extra Teemo for example and they why if
11889s	they do draw their one-off Teemo that's
11890s	going to be hugely beneficial in the
11892s	mirror
11893s	I think the Nar version should be
11895s	technically better because you have that
11897s	extra Wallop in the deck when you have a
11899s	narrow board and in the mirror it's
11901s	pretty significant to have adjusted etc
11903s	for it because when the opponent has a
11905s	banner on the board you're having that
11907s	an extra Wallop in the deck and it's all
11909s	often and oversight because when you
11912s	take a screenshot of a balloon stack you
11915s	see there is no like in the for Freeman
11917s	interaction but people often forget that
11920s	there is a champion spells in the deck
11921s	and an extra narrow on the board
11923s	actually becomes a wallop
11925s	so those those are the things that
11927s	matter and it's a great card in the
11928s	matchup right because you just get to
11930s	play it on the Tristana
11932s	to deny the attack or other unit
11934s	potentially
11936s	yeah and in the fifth mirror lies this
11938s	we saw that there was some change
11939s	differences between the two of them do
11941s	you reckon The Inferno list uh is in a
11945s	better spot or do you reckon I what I
11947s	think the the more greedy list of sort
11948s	of rushed out the more Rush down list
11950s	should in theory have a better
11952s	opportunity
11954s	um I mean at least it's too slow I think
11955s	for the the mirror because like the turn
11958s	you developed Inferno like the turn
11960s	after upon and just play pandemonium and
11961s	you just die you just fell over
11964s	because like the the castle they're
11965s	gonna throw off your internet don't
11967s	matter and you spent four Mana
11968s	developing one four and opponents could
11970s	spend for my life he developed double
11972s	three three and a three two if you're
11974s	some if they had a solid hand and they
11976s	just run you down and you have while you
11978s	are tuning with your one for in The
11980s	elusive on the board
11983s	it's gonna be super interesting to see
11984s	where these uh sort of matches play out
11987s	because as we said it most likely going
11989s	to end up being two mirror matches
11992s	um
11992s	unless obviously we see the the obvious
11995s	different interesting choices but again
11997s	it's going to be how well these players
11999s	understand the mirrors that's going to
12000s	help them win do they know uh the
12003s	premium cards to Mulligan 4 in those
12005s	mirrors to take that win for themselves
12009s	no we might see the first maybe
12010s	something Samira into there
12013s	and matchups so where it's I think it's
12017s	pretty much favorite for the fisa Mira
12019s	due to the fact that you have a premium
12021s	units which has three free tool for some
12024s	that we know that if he's the Three Star
12026s	attacks cannot really handle early on or
12029s	pretty well and you have a bunch of
12031s	those things that don't really work well
12033s	against those pc3332 and like if you
12036s	take a turn to like block it once when
12038s	you can bring it down it takes a lot of
12040s	all of your resources which you want to
12042s	spend on developing but if you manage to
12045s	stabilize then the problem is when you
12048s	star down at pandemonium which you just
12050s	they can take out your whole board after
12051s	you stabilize and the opponent still
12053s	pushes the damage against Steel
12055s	so and the problem if you start off the
12059s	Tristana if opponent chooses food like
12061s	it's better to I think to go with the
12063s	VISA Mira because worst case you get
12065s	mirror best case you get the favorite
12067s	matchup so there is no reason to start
12070s	over there with the twist animation
12071s	because there is a thread there is an
12073s	option into queuing it worst matchup so
12076s	like just three snow look there is no
12079s	upside of killing with the Tristana and
12082s	then queuing with Samira so you just
12084s	that's why it's not 50 50 which we run
12086s	when we actually have one you queue up
12088s	assuming you are feeling uh comfortable
12091s	and going into the matchup of Samira
12094s	fish into three stand up in favor
12096s	if you don't if you think it's about all
12098s	the matchups are 50 50 when yeah it's
12100s	it's irrelevant you can just
12106s	first would should be correct and we
12109s	should see if it's under a mirror
12112s	yeah it's going to be interesting to see
12114s	how this plays out
12116s	I mean we we've been discussing this
12118s	throughout the day how these matchups go
12120s	and as you mentioned here we can see it
12122s	now it is that mirror and look at these
12125s	players this is the problem we mentioned
12127s	with The Inferno I'm not sure if bocky's
12128s	uh mulliganed away those cards here all
12131s	of those are in his hand
12133s	um most likely going to want to Mulligan
12134s	them away or throw them away and redraw
12136s	if that's an option
12138s	um but on the side of calamari he's got
12140s	two of the key cards
12142s	Bucky has an excellent opener after
12144s	Moody Uganda like he has all the premium
12146s	cards meanwhile camilari has to think
12149s	how greedy does he want to move
12152s	and there is a world where you could
12154s	keep pandemonium potentially but you are
12156s	not attacking on turn one so it becomes
12159s	worse since you can't just jump it and
12161s	get good trades on 25 so I think it's
12163s	worth
12164s	to just Mulligan it away to build up a
12167s	stronger board
12168s	at the present a bit more damage and get
12170s	more plunders early on
12171s	and now this is going to be sort of the
12173s	the sort of
12175s	I love this sauce like it's like a
12177s	jeweled standoff moment with both
12179s	players on turn two
12181s	cannot develop those mirrors really uh
12184s	because if you developers you have to
12186s	develop a camillary here because your
12187s	turn like you have to start plundering
12189s	like you don't like that this handle
12191s	does not want to slow play you have very
12193s	good turn to development you have very
12195s	good turn free so you definitely do not
12197s	slow play
12200s	here you can just make a decision if you
12202s	want to attack with Samira or not
12204s	usually you don't right to threaten the
12207s	do you stop Bucky from developing and
12209s	playing his own spirit
12210s	I think pushing damage is better here
12213s	because like what like
12215s	think about the threat like even like
12216s	you can just develop seminar next turn
12218s	like it's not like he's burning Cabana
12220s	it's not stopping anything it's not
12222s	punishing anything you just didn't deal
12224s	any damage this turn
12226s	the only thing it would be at the
12230s	downside is if opponent has nuts hand
12231s	with like triple development post Samira
12235s	but again
12236s	I don't think it's worth playing around
12238s	I think it's better just to jam it and
12242s	go with it and obviously booking being
12245s	Ferris is a superior in this measure
12247s	because not only you get to a swing with
12249s	Samira 23 but you also get to have a
12251s	potential swing at turn five with uh
12255s	pandemonium hockey chose not to open
12258s	attack he does not respect a stun at all
12262s	and taking out Samira in this matchup is
12265s	pretty important
12267s	yeah the the play not playing around
12269s	pirouette I mean it you don't
12271s	necessarily need to play around it too
12272s	much by the way because you can just
12274s	play your monkey business and then give
12276s	that
12277s	um
12278s	Challenger you don't necessarily have to
12279s	do on Samira
12282s	yeah definitely but the the value is of
12285s	the Samira because it denies opponent
12287s	clarity
12289s	and if you do it on the monkey or
12292s	anything that doesn't have the quick
12293s	attack you just give opponent a card and
12295s	especially I draw a card before the deck
12297s	such as fish Samira because drawing
12299s	didn't want to the face it's like we
12302s	have already six of those copies cards
12304s	in the deck so it's like just giving an
12305s	extra resource yeah now with this
12308s	development here from calamari as Bucky
12310s	you probably go for this attack here you
12312s	don't develop any monkeys at all uh you
12314s	want to have backup for the all-out just
12316s	in case
12318s	yeah most definitely uh you take the
12321s	other trade and yeah Bucky will be the
12324s	driving seat after this well especially
12326s	with powder pandemonium in hand right
12328s	that's the key card here
12330s	um whereas cameras we saw had decided to
12333s	Mulligan it away
12334s	um so it has to kind of maybe try fight
12336s	a little bit for this board here before
12337s	that pandemonium comes down
12340s	we're gonna make an argument that the
12341s	camera can play another Samurai to take
12344s	down the Pocky but the problem is Bucky
12345s	is leveling up Samira next turn so it's
12348s	not a really an option since you can't
12351s	really deal with the hack that kaminari
12354s	can doesn't have any pump perhaps he's
12357s	gonna take a pump from the body we buy
12360s	after swindling he can develop some Iraq
12362s	he can warning shots Swindle into the
12364s	all out and this way he would have an
12367s	option to fight the Samira back
12369s	and we'll see what the lines he chooses
12371s	because there are a lot of lines that
12372s	kaminari can go for he can go with the
12374s	oh he chooses not to develop Samira uh
12378s	can't go for the fury here see what
12380s	spell he gets well before deciding
12383s	I think not taking out Samira
12386s	is the
12388s	and it's a very low percentage of the
12390s	time you can actually win the game if
12393s	you take this line that camillary took I
12396s	think I mean this is we've been talking
12398s	about bad one drop spells uh that we saw
12401s	earlier on these uh Furies have just
12403s	been giving extremely big Duds for the
12406s	most listen it's not as bad as a snap
12408s	job
12411s	I'll take jettison every day over
12414s	Snapchat I can just play it to level up
12416s	yeah I guess that's true yeah you can
12418s	just throw it away
12421s	I'm not a fan of doing this line I think
12423s	the the Swindon line was a bit better
12426s	because it allows you you're like okay
12428s	you do not threaten Samira because like
12430s	you have no Mana to pump and like you
12433s	can take out the elusive that's your
12435s	only threat and you just ignore Samira
12437s	but like ignoring Samira
12440s	does not win you the game at this point
12442s	like you need to have a back to back
12444s	like for this line would be only better
12446s	if you top deck back to back pandemonium
12450s	again how how pandemonium what should be
12453s	at what like fourth at the moment
12454s	somewhere around there for camillary
12456s	it's not too high it's no vocabulary is
12460s	like two I think but I think pocky's a
12462s	little bit higher
12463s	monkey is at two three four three at
12467s	least
12469s	I mean you can steal your own powder
12471s	which is going to be fantastic here
12475s	I'm gonna at least allow him to counter
12478s	it from Bucky side
12488s	it really depends on how many stacks
12489s	there are on Bucky's side we've seen
12492s	three maybe
12494s	yeah this is the time for the fish
12496s	probably and just
12499s	developing the just going for the rally
12502s	potentially on the subura right now you
12506s	are at two out of oh yeah
12509s	so unless it's a sun no you cannot like
12513s	even for generate a card
12516s	you could just go powder a pandemonium
12519s	just to get the board clear keep your
12520s	whole board alive
12525s	I mean you your only punish I guess
12528s	would be a counter pounder uh I think
12531s	that's I think that's the play but when
12533s	if you do this you don't I don't think
12535s	you are starting with fees no
12538s	I mean it's not bad because you can
12541s	challenge the Samira with your own
12542s	Samira
12543s	and then you get to uh you can challenge
12547s	with the monkey yeah the other unit and
12550s	when you get
12552s	you should swing with the fury here as
12554s	well if you're Bucky yeah the elusive
12557s	um you're fine if that trades into a
12558s	fizz
12560s	no no no you don't want to empty your
12562s	opponent's part when they have
12563s	pandemonium
12565s	you're emptying near that board anyway
12567s	with this attack
12569s	if they want to if Kevin Lowe wants to
12571s	can just block an empty his board
12573s	it's fine then because otherwise you
12576s	give him efficient trade that's why they
12578s	don't have a good trade
12580s	thank you like and it's not like coming
12582s	Larry is winning if you play Sunday
12583s	morning
12588s	it's it's yeah how close is uh it's a
12591s	mirror here
12598s	it's a mirror we'll go up to
12600s	three two we haven't seen that many
12603s	cards played in cameras side don't think
12605s	camera can bump it up enough so that's
12609s	it Bucky probably goes for the all out
12611s	of here just to remove some mirror
12614s	[Music]
12619s	what was his name that he pumps the all
12623s	the One Drops
12625s	this Chuck yeah
12629s	so like the fact that it can take down
12632s	the whole board next turn might actually
12634s	be important and the fact that it didn't
12637s	push much damage so far
12639s	it might be actually very close uh to
12643s	Nutella for the camillary because we do
12646s	not see we might need to see the double
12648s	counter play from the pandemonium to
12651s	just stay alive
12652s	yeah I mean Bucky I don't think it's
12655s	going to be leave for any point but this
12656s	book he can just play powder themselves
12659s	no it's not a winning play but it was
12662s	cold war then there is fees uh hitting
12664s	your face
12666s	the other options you can just play the
12667s	elegant Edge yeah
12674s	at this point
12675s	like you do you cannot throw it away
12677s	here
12678s	and this I don't think there's even five
12680s	monkeys I think it's four monkeys yeah
12682s	and this all becomes an issue because uh
12686s	Bucky didn't attack with the fury
12688s	because if he attacked with the fury if
12691s	there was a block there that kind of
12692s	helped a little not by much because now
12695s	they're taking four from Fizz the other
12697s	option would have been to play not play
12699s	their own Fizz just play powder Panda
12700s	momentum wipe out calamari's board and
12702s	then they would have kept most of their
12704s	board alive
12707s	they're tough it's a really tough choice
12708s	because there's a lot of damage here
12709s	from Cameroon
12713s	encounter Pandemonium the stern
12719s	so technically I mean camillary can just
12723s	block not attack with everything like
12725s	this
12726s	yeah
12728s	but like
12730s	you do attack here you are trading a
12732s	unit like it's like if he doesn't rally
12735s	now if you take this attack then he's
12737s	gonna abuse it next turn
12741s	I mean the Samir is dying so I don't
12744s	think you're that worried I mean Samira
12746s	will rally on on combat in combat
12749s	uh you mean the jettison's enough yeah
12751s	cool
12754s	we see that a at the market on her so
12758s	that means she's one of to level up I
12761s	mean to Rally the stern
12764s	that means you know that writing is
12767s	going to happen but you also want one
12768s	less monkey to appear right so if
12770s	there's that consideration of taking one
12772s	less damage from a monkey
12774s	I don't like this attack at all
12778s	Bucky just was
12782s	eight more damage
12785s	or like a force a Triton like like what
12787s	what are you doing with this free tour
12789s	of the board like Bucky didn't rally
12792s	Bucky didn't rally by the way I know
12794s	because he didn't have to
12796s	because it's not the turn you want to
12797s	use pandemonium
12799s	like there is no reason to pandemonium
12801s	now you can just use it next turn
12805s	like and you are taking more damage this
12807s	way because you didn't thread attack
12809s	with other monkeys like you I don't know
12811s	that was
12812s	weird play
12816s	oh just draws A Swindle to to win
12821s	but it doesn't
12823s	it's five damage
12826s	no he can't take the pun oh he can't
12829s	yeah oh yeah he plays it yeah
12833s	player is not enough
12834s	that's it I mean just take the Buster
12837s	switch as a blocker for free too it's
12839s	fine
12841s	oh or you do not take the butter
12846s	the one it's just off it's just short
12849s	it's too short right which is not enough
12854s	why did Cameron not get the butcher
12857s	I'm not sure
12860s	super confused there
12863s	at 8 13.
12866s	I mean it's kind it's kind of a right
12869s	it's kind of irrelevant really because
12871s	obviously you're gonna be able to
12872s	develop one unit anyway so I guess
12874s	that's probably why they just went for
12875s	the flare
12876s	I mean it does matter because you had
12879s	this way you could present little an
12881s	open attack this way you can't
12883s	because what he had to do if he develops
12885s	butcher now when he develops the shark
12889s	and he opened attacks for little now he
12892s	has to trade shark and he doesn't have
12894s	open attack
12896s	you have to use with a whirling death
12899s	here to survive if I'm correct no you're
12900s	at one if you block her with the short
12902s	film
12904s	five plus eight
12907s	that doesn't I guess that protects his
12909s	unit
12911s	so it's the same temperature so that's
12913s	still one of
12915s	but you want to play around a one-off
12917s	because that's the simple that's just a
12919s	I mean now that you put yourself into a
12921s	situation where you don't have little on
12922s	Open Swing you probably have to play
12924s	around it
12927s	because you you give yourself you can
12930s	you can still do a lethal swing because
12932s	you can play the tail stones right the
12934s	buff up Fizz and you'll be fine
12939s	I guess you yeah you can go for that
12941s	which which would also set up an open
12943s	later which isn't it's the same scenario
12946s	really
12947s	um so you have a choice of Welling death
12949s	here or the the sharp and resolve I
12951s	believe it's called to buff it by three
12953s	plus plus three plus two I mean it
12954s	doesn't matter which one you choose I
12956s	mean you have to decide if you play
12958s	around or anything or not like you have
12960s	to you know that one card is a random
12961s	card generated from Bucky site I think
12963s	if you're familiari you have to just
12964s	take a guess it's a brick like it's
12967s	unplayable
12969s	oh and we've skipped ahead
12972s	to the next turn no no he's the same
12974s	thing
12977s	foreign
12981s	[Music]
12994s	oh that must have been what we didn't
12996s	see before right the replay must have
12997s	given us that
13001s	wait did I must calculate is this little
13003s	no okay there is this hand was from
13006s	something else I think that that was
13008s	just dancing he didn't have Olive
13011s	and that's game yeah that's a game
13013s	though yeah so they did go for that
13015s	result the buff is set up the open on
13016s	the next turn and there wasn't a draw
13018s	from Focus side to win so camilleri does
13021s	take game one that was a little bit
13024s	intense it was very very close and as
13027s	you mentioned there you had some
13028s	disagreements on the ordering and the
13031s	conditions like you if you're actually
13033s	develop Er When you double
13037s	for little you're at the same HP you
13039s	just have two wrinkles on the board it's
13041s	just and the opponent can develop
13043s	elusive after attack because he has to
13045s	he has one card that hit object and if
13048s	it's elusive or it's like Feast when you
13050s	don't have little and if you have shark
13052s	you have little on open this way
13054s	it gives you more opal options I
13056s	completely agree
13059s	to the next game it was I mean it's a
13061s	cool series it's very complex matchup
13064s	it's very skillful especially in the
13067s	Mulligan part like Mulligan is so
13069s	important to this matchup I just can't
13071s	stress it enough
13072s	I mean in a lot of matchups You could
13075s	argue that as well right
13077s	knowing what to Mulligan is sort of one
13080s	of the key runterra skills
13085s	the game ends by turn five so your hand
13089s	quality needs to be way higher on
13092s	average than any other deck because the
13094s	other gay other games go past there in
13097s	five years where this game is usually
13099s	finishes by turn five
13101s	yeah and we see camillary going for the
13103s	Blast code here with the barrier just
13105s	trying to sort of uh slow down this game
13108s	a little bit by stopping the Samira
13110s	getting rolling stopping the attacks
13113s	um trying to maybe search a little bit
13115s	through their deck try to see what they
13117s	can get and
13118s	um start to build this board because
13120s	that's kind of how the camillary deck
13122s	will work because you really want to
13123s	just slow down this match
13125s	yeah definitely like kamilari had the
13128s	choice to either pass and just don't
13130s	matter just play a shield to prevent the
13131s	attack like like he could have baited
13134s	maybe the Challenger or something
13137s	just burned Focus manner
13140s	but overall going for the shoot is
13141s	probably on turn three a better line
13145s	yeah I really like this attack too
13147s	um there's a consideration to pluck with
13149s	in in Inferno but not a big it's you're
13153s	worried about price fights a lot from
13154s	Bucky side so you can't really risk that
13157s	so bookies premium cards are like you
13160s	can double up Samira here so we see
13163s	there is a signpost but this is one of
13165s	those hands where you don't even need
13167s	pandemonial to finish like this one of
13169s	those hands where you can just wrap the
13170s	game
13171s	Samira leveling up
13173s	if there is no kill on Samira we see
13176s	there is an option to go for it
13179s	but I mean Community doesn't go for it
13181s	there's an option to Swindle another
13183s	signpost right so you could uh because
13185s	we're getting up to what turns six you
13187s	could play you can potentially have nine
13189s	Mana available to signpost the signpost
13200s	yeah pythos is better for like the turn
13202s	now so I I do see that line like I don't
13205s	start just removing stuff I don't think
13207s	you care about the pandemonium because
13209s	you don't have board space for it like
13211s	picking cards that maybe will be good in
13214s	few turns or give you or you pick a card
13216s	that gives you immediate value now I
13218s	think it's just better especially that
13220s	you can develop Samira you can remove
13222s	some board like you have very very good
13225s	hand if you are a bulky and camdari
13228s	doesn't have to powder have a hand
13230s	okay and just consistent plunder draws
13232s	here and thunder activators are going to
13235s	be huge because as you mentioned Bucky
13237s	gets to keep a nice big board here can
13239s	start swinging with it with it and then
13241s	on top of that there's the powder
13243s	pandemonium as a backup
13245s	oh that's a bit too late to go for
13247s	display this place should have been done
13249s	way earlier
13251s	the pilots fight us into the second
13253s	point of the pythons there's an Ola in
13256s	hand from Pocky and I think that's just
13259s	yeah as well as the last one so that's
13261s	gonna completely stop this
13264s	this time anyway Samira is not not
13266s	getting removed
13273s	not sure what kamilari is going to do
13275s	this is a really really tough position
13278s	oh
13279s	yeah
13280s	like it's just in front of the room
13283s	million cards and all of those cards
13285s	were good and playable
13287s	that that Inferno was the reason why you
13289s	would play in China in the first place
13291s	it's just too good the only
13293s	consideration now is he cannot play the
13295s	monkey business right if you um you can
13298s	Samira alive to allow yourself to start
13300s	rallying on the next couple of turns
13303s	about the monkey business it's just a
13306s	car that's fitting it can it's the worst
13308s	cutting the deck so it just can
13310s	disappear
13313s	I mean I agree it's probably the worst
13316s	part in the deck outside of
13319s	um just the
13321s	warning shot so that occasionally can be
13323s	a bit of like a bit meh but you need it
13326s	because it's basically just one thought
13327s	I can't throw it away I'm like stylish I
13330s	like stylish a lot more I don't I feel
13332s	this is Sami Ryan hunt I don't think you
13334s	okay the solo
13337s	oh no that's not what you want to see I
13339s	mean you just cursed it to give a one HP
13341s	to Samira properly but then you draw by
13345s	doing that you draw another card you're
13346s	gonna throw away you Shuffle back the
13348s	Samira that you just drew to the deck
13350s	and you level up your Samira to Rally
13352s	like I it's it's okay because like any
13355s	again you won't hear something right to
13356s	HP it was actually very good though and
13359s	you don't care about that battery just
13360s	splitting it can go away
13363s	and blocky right now has got how many
13366s	away a couple of cards away from being
13368s	able to do it but shouldn't be too big
13371s	of an issue this game
13373s	unless we see the double card here
13376s	yeah he needed to go for the samiraki
13378s	because like this is getting out of
13380s	control slowly
13382s	yeah I mean camilleri's hand is kind of
13384s	forced right Justin is not really
13386s	winning the game here the the king's
13388s	court is a bit too slow still can't come
13390s	down
13392s	uh what if you drew a burst or fast
13396s	spell he could have a plurality this
13399s	turn
13401s	one of the character rally here
13403s	yeah because you needed to fight us plus
13406s	another spell yeah
13408s	so far
13410s	yeah it's still not the worst case
13412s	scenario here for Bucky because I guess
13414s	we can see has plenty or can use the
13417s	fifth spell to Rally next turn
13419s	um
13420s	should they want to and then powder
13422s	afterwards so it's looking all right
13428s	okay I'm thinking how do you you save
13432s	your pythony's block with butcher here
13435s	so this is
13440s	yeah the other option is you just set up
13443s	power to pandemonium next turn then you
13445s	just give up your fizz
13447s	why fees why not give up on The Inferno
13450s	I mean I I agree uh both are fine you
13453s	have a second and final
13455s	damage just keep fees in hand and when
13457s	you have little second fish you swing
13460s	twice with the fees I don't know this
13462s	block with this is super sassy
13464s	no yeah it the other the other options
13467s	obviously they're just trying to set up
13468s	as wide as they bought with the powder
13469s	pandemonium next turn and just remove it
13471s	but now that they've played a face I
13473s	don't necessarily agree we have free
13474s	floating you go to seven plus three you
13477s	have 10 Mana yeah you are drawing some
13480s	cars oh okay you can just be God Gamers
13483s	another mirror plus plus a warning shot
13487s	activator which is perfect
13490s	he's that I mean there's a buster shot
13492s	here that removes the mirror but then
13495s	um yeah the powder pandemonium just
13498s	comes down and there's no
13500s	there's a signpost but I'm trying to
13502s	think is there a way of surviving
13507s	you can't just develop your units right
13509s	and be fine
13511s	technically he might be alive like there
13514s	is just for little next turn for the
13515s	camillary
13517s	if he doesn't die now
13523s	oh that's a throw that Bucky's draws on
13527s	these all-outs have been fantastic
13530s	and yeah yeah I think you could just go
13532s	oh yeah put it onto one you don't put it
13534s	on the Free tour
13536s	uh to play around any pings yeah that
13538s	would be ideal because then that allows
13540s	you to play around another python but
13541s	you can also just rip the powder
13542s	pandemonium here oh I don't like this
13544s	line
13545s	pretty sure you play rally here
13550s	uh you oh yeah you can rally with the
13553s	telstones yeah yeah
13561s	and here we're pushing for rally
13565s	yeah I mean it was the same play if you
13567s	didn't kill the Fizz the prior turn you
13569s	would have had just it would have been a
13570s	bit cheaper
13572s	Rocky would have had lethals around me
13575s	because you can use you can just use the
13577s	rally on Inferno
13580s	I mean you have little as well it
13582s	doesn't matter both are a little I'm
13584s	just thinking if the now more powder is
13586s	a little
13588s	I mean we're getting to dangerous
13592s	territory here on the Camilla side right
13593s	uh camillary hasn't been able to get any
13596s	prize fights is the big problem
13599s	um because that's all that would really
13601s	have been needed but and this turn is
13603s	not going to be enough
13605s	from camillary to actually sort of end
13607s	this game which is a bit unfortunate
13610s	is not it
13614s	I mean he can present little
13617s	but like we know there is a counter play
13619s	I mean are they even presented really
13622s	properly presenting lethal fun or they
13624s	can just block uh yeah no no you you use
13628s	price right now before combat on The
13630s	Inferno
13631s	[Music]
13633s	yeah yeah I mean you're gonna have to go
13635s	for it but
13637s	still not ideal because Bucky could just
13639s	play another Inferno yeah but like again
13641s	you present lethal but if you don't know
13643s	about the another Inferno it's not that
13644s	many units that can block brush in this
13647s	matchup
13648s	and the Buffs
13657s	no bacon brush first on the trees
13662s	come on
13664s	instead of little
13665s	you know there is you are dead next turn
13667s	if you don't presents
13672s	I mean it's tough when you're in this
13673s	position obviously you can't see the
13674s	opponent's hand I mean it doesn't matter
13676s	like you know there is a pandemonium in
13678s	hand you know there is shark you know
13679s	your death next turn literally in the
13681s	boots you have to go for little now if
13683s	they have it well I'm lucky I I guess I
13686s	go next oh wait wait
13689s	am I crazy doesn't this card give it the
13691s	brush to this Nana yes am I missing
13693s	something you're not missing anything
13695s	now
13700s	you want to give Brash to Tristana so
13702s	you can swing it doesn't it's just only
13704s	on followers maybe it's only fun
13705s	followers and I'm missing something
13707s	maybe it doesn't work on shuffle
13710s	just an alley it doesn't matter you just
13712s	you can give it to Tristana
13718s	hopefully Cameron is the mistake here
13723s	quick conceived
13725s	well swing into closet
13729s	hmm
13731s	because yeah now this this block just
13734s	happens in camera
13735s	um Bucky is kind of happy with this yeah
13739s	Bucky just wins this turn by the way
13741s	yeah you double block play powder
13744s	and you win
13747s	and fight us his own unit to save as you
13749s	want HP
13751s	no but he just win this 10 if you double
13752s	if you just remove your whole board yeah
13754s	that's fine just powder
13757s	he's just gonna summon kegs I mean all
13760s	of it works more powder here is
13761s	fantastic a box is pretty much got this
13764s	game in the back it's little like you
13766s	have
13767s	it doesn't matter what he does he could
13769s	just someone mark his flare and that's
13770s	yeah
13772s	or he can do this like it's little in
13776s	every possible way
13779s	monkeys come down and this is gonna be
13781s	gay in number two going over to bokki
13784s	which is going to equalize that score
13786s	one a piece and I believe that leaves us
13788s	with the Bando Tristana mirror as our
13791s	final match between these two players
13796s	foreign
13799s	would you reckon the sort of the game
13801s	plan going in for the next match between
13803s	these play two players is going to be
13804s	because it is the bundle mirror and we
13807s	both know how that could be played we
13809s	played it a million times I'm just I'm
13811s	just I I got stuck
13813s	I was like
13815s	like why
13817s	what if he doesn't know or what like
13818s	what happened there
13819s	I mean it might be the pressure right
13822s	you have to consider this is high stakes
13824s	now we are now getting into this
13825s	category where uh you you really really
13828s	get a huge but uh sort of
13830s	burst of points rinterra points for
13832s	World qualifications you get the prize
13834s	money increases
13836s	um a single elimination so the stress on
13839s	these players is very high right here
13840s	yeah I get it but you have one
13842s	cards in your hand you have two units on
13844s	the board like yeah those thoughts with
13846s	kings cup can be completed but when not
13849s	when you have like two cards and two
13850s	units on the board you have a limited
13852s	amount of the options actions you can do
13854s	you have like two times two two times
13855s	two actually seven eight decisions you
13857s	can possibly make attack spell and
13861s	that's it and on which one you do that
13864s	okay so let's go into the next game I
13866s	just got started because I couldn't
13867s	possibly understand it in my bed all
13870s	right we have the mirror and can we see
13873s	mayor there is no mayor but there is
13875s	double grandfather which is a really
13876s	premium unit and double elusive which
13878s	can just give you so much value overturn
13881s	and this battle Gunners will be so cheap
13883s	probably it has zero because the day
13885s	after the king's court so come here has
13888s	a premium hand in the position to the
13890s	Poke I think Pokey he's got his uh kinda
13893s	low he has the one grandfather but the
13896s	rest of the cards are very junky
13898s	yeah it's not ideal I mean Bucky is
13900s	going to really want to try and go wide
13902s	as early as possible to uh activate this
13905s	group shot because what you really want
13907s	to admit in this matchup is that groups
13908s	up to the two right
13910s	um there's such a number of good cards
13912s	uh sort of Premium cards he can hit for
13914s	two as you can see like The elusive
13915s	Commandos the grandfathers it's just
13918s	tons of them all existing throughout
13920s	this game so you're gonna be super happy
13921s	if you can start getting those accents
13923s	um that's how Bucky is gonna have to try
13925s	to have sort of a chance in here because
13927s	we can see from obviously kamillari's
13929s	hand has tons of refill opportunities
13931s	can just keep blocking understands uh
13933s	the value of just blocking away keeping
13935s	their board unit low they know they have
13938s	plenty of refill here
13942s	so we see that the whole community's
13945s	hand is units so at this point HP is
13949s	important and cavillary knows that so
13951s	he's trading his elusive into one
13953s	because it's just worth it due to the
13956s	fact that you can just refill four days
13958s	so you don't want to take any damage I
13960s	would even consider trading with the
13962s	free feeder because of the nature of
13965s	your hand I also love just playing The
13967s	Double L here instead of the Elusive and
13970s	just start putting this pressure down
13972s	um
13975s	definitely but the problem is now the
13977s	the the the that barrier unit comes down
13980s	the sitcom
13983s	the name of the those units are always
13986s	buffering me the sit cone I think it's
13988s	called with the plus can blascon oh
13990s	blast Conor sitcom name
13993s	but I still think you still go for the
13995s	attack right you just oh yeah for sure
13996s	so just want to put as much damage as
13998s	you can here there's seven being uh
13999s	threatened which means that Bucky does
14001s	have to start uh getting rid of some of
14004s	their own units and to prepare the outs
14006s	are appearing unit you kind of want to
14007s	block because you can't really use your
14009s	spells to Ping them away
14011s	um but the obviously the issue with them
14013s	is that they're generated so it's like
14014s	permanent value here you have to keep my
14017s	work here so you have a decent next turn
14018s	you develop all with the portal
14023s	and this is a matchup just like who can
14025s	get the most sort of early chip damage
14027s	um against the the opponent's Nexus and
14030s	then you go for the big price fight
14031s	turns later on I think it's Maury who
14033s	draws Tristana into the good top end and
14035s	if the tree sound doesn't die it's her
14037s	up
14038s	so yeah the question is did you go for
14040s	the Tristana you go for the price fight
14042s	combo here
14043s	um oh you don't even have a pink so you
14046s	can't even do that this uh this poro
14048s	here actually a little bit of a problem
14050s	because it's going to start generating
14052s	units and value so Camilla it's gonna
14054s	have to block it yeah you do just block
14055s	it I mean you're a very happy blocking
14057s	here because you have the you have
14059s	Tristan on board you want to give a
14060s	giveaway on the units because you'll be
14062s	just redeveloping and buffing anything
14064s	everything else and you have a solid
14066s	refill you have a tunnel into the
14068s	elusive next turn which is quite so
14071s	pretty solid and yeah you just take away
14074s	the units you take the five five you
14075s	block display just blocking pattern is
14078s	very very good you do take six damage uh
14080s	yeah eventually could be relevant yeah
14082s	yeah you take it it's HP is a resource
14084s	and I think your Hunt is good enough to
14087s	wrap the game
14089s	um yeah it is good enough but if you
14090s	consider the next uh you're not most
14093s	likely gonna end in next turn you're
14094s	going to be very close but you're not
14096s	ending it next time which then gives
14097s	Bucky an additional turn uh with the
14100s	Vandal Gunners at while you're at 11 HP
14103s	which is a very scary number
14106s	I mean you have a pretty solid refill
14109s	you have three standard in play if
14110s	opponent has no price fight plus pink
14112s	that Tristana is going downtown and
14115s	there will be a lot of uh
14117s	impact damage got older you do not do
14120s	the blocking here definitely oh
14122s	that's that's yeah I don't know about
14124s	that one see because you lose that
14126s	surprise fire I don't like this at all
14128s	you the other way you force opponent to
14130s	have a pink and this way you just give
14132s	up your three standard for random prize
14134s	fight
14136s	like I think like camera I just forgot
14138s	the price fight exists
14141s	like this this was his wincon like
14143s	giving out the Twisted this might be
14144s	just the game here because of uh losing
14147s	the Tristana and also like
14151s	trading there like losing price fighter
14153s	like with this hand like if you look at
14155s	this hand this hand was killing bulky on
14158s	the next swing with the
14161s	price fight potentially
14164s	or in another swing with Tristana if
14166s	there is no way of removing three and
14168s	also even if they he didn't have the
14169s	prize fight then it could be Buster shot
14172s	which takes out this summer like you
14173s	never ever block the rooftop you just
14175s	you just take one worst case if you
14177s	don't want to if you don't want the to
14180s	block it yeah the matchups changed now
14182s	completely especially in this book is
14183s	also drawn their own now which means
14185s	he's gonna get uh another discount on
14187s	the Bandu Gunners and has
14190s	um
14191s	you can't just block with the owl here
14193s	you're kind of fine with that
14195s	you can also just double uh commit all
14198s	your pings here
14200s	I'm thinking if it wasn't correct just
14202s	to develop a weapon there was a line
14204s	where you could commit weapon on the
14206s	mayor and say okay uh I'm gonna check if
14209s	you have pink and I I could he could
14211s	block with mayor because mayor is
14213s	unneeded now so he could potentially
14215s	just trade away Meyer for the pink
14218s	and put a weapon there and then develop
14220s	now afterwards
14223s	do you try to remove nigh here to stop
14225s	the Pokey generation it's a very big
14227s	middle to do so I mean you'd like you do
14229s	you can pick your own Union but the
14231s	problem is yeah you removed you deny
14233s	opponent pocket Pocky but you lose a
14237s	unit so now the question is do you value
14240s	uh Pocky over the unit there
14244s	now that's the question but like given
14246s	he went for this line where he wants to
14249s	develop oh this is going to be
14252s	interesting yes though so that's a cool
14254s	alternative line uh he just take to take
14257s	out opponent's snare
14259s	yeah I actually quite like this because
14260s	you can take out the opponent's now or
14263s	uh just pull it to the side and try and
14265s	get if you draw like a price fight here
14267s	depending on the draw
14269s	um on Bucky side you have your band
14271s	organized plus price fight
14275s	that's a pretty solid hand you can play
14277s	out a whole hand almost if you're a
14279s	bulky the important cards at least
14285s	yeah you can put the Mana weapon on The
14287s	elusive start generating some value get
14288s	and even you can group shot in call but
14290s	if you need to
14291s	and then you can develop under Gunners
14293s	this turn
14295s	looks pretty good and on the camillary
14297s	side
14298s	there are a lot of options here at the
14300s	promise if you place a king's card he's
14302s	committed to showing that I have no more
14304s	mana and I have only just a little
14308s	um prize fight but when you represent a
14310s	pink with the
14312s	and here like if he plays it post five
14315s	he gives a tell to boki that he has no
14318s	one up mana pink because if you have one
14320s	Mona pink you slap the boat you do not
14322s	pass priority so at this point if you
14324s	are bulky you should be able to tell
14326s	that the there is no uh combo with the
14330s	price fight because there is no there is
14332s	absolutely zero reasons to pass there
14333s	because you can lose Nar to that fast
14337s	priority for no reason
14340s	and this is such a good attack from
14342s	bulky gets the one Mana back so has the
14344s	group shot available too
14346s	um should should Bucky need it but it
14349s	most likely just gonna be a double block
14350s	here
14352s	um
14352s	I don't think camilleri can afford to
14355s	take the three I mean you just kill the
14357s	three three it's fine
14359s	like you just use your Nara or whatever
14361s	to strike with the free
14365s	I mean this is a very good parent for
14368s	what's happening I mean it's a great
14370s	attack from Bucky but what the big issue
14372s	I guess for pocket though is
14374s	um the general just sort of the value
14376s	right Bucky is slowly starting to run
14378s	out whereas uh camilleri still got
14380s	refill in hand
14383s	we're gonna see some
14385s	good units coming down but the problem
14388s	is those humans can't really at the only
14390s	unit that kind of comfortably attack is
14392s	gonna be uh tenor
14395s	I mean you get both tenno and bandogan
14398s	is down next turn which is I mean I mean
14401s	Gunners can only attack because there
14402s	are other units just attack and they
14404s	just lose the value trade for no reason
14409s	yes we still still not ideal here but
14414s	so you couldn't Theory attack with the
14416s	three one two
14418s	but Ben oh there we see Maya mayor is
14420s	perfect here for camera he's gonna allow
14423s	more options discount some cards Fey
14426s	folk is an interesting choice for the
14428s	following turn this turn unfortunately
14430s	he's gonna be a little bit I mean you're
14431s	definitely be faithful
14440s	my order was so massive getting
14443s	correctly for next and they're getting
14445s	the discount Plus getting the tenor into
14448s	Gunners it's absolutely
14450s	absolutely beautiful turn for the
14452s	camillary
14453s	and at this point you can't give him
14456s	Pocky stick so you have to swing into
14458s	nuts that's for sure
14461s	yeah the Poke stick is yeah I think full
14465s	swing girl with rest is okay you kind of
14467s	have to block if you're Bucky you can't
14469s	afford not to oh yeah of course the
14471s	question is how do you block you group
14472s	shot the three one most likely here yeah
14475s	um just to keep to say for HP and you do
14477s	want to
14478s	I don't know if we keep the bundle
14481s	Gunners if we block I guess we do block
14482s	with the bundle Gunners too no the
14484s	blocks are fine
14486s	and Bucky is going to be pushing on the
14489s	open next turn
14491s	um six damage so he's a little bit short
14494s	I think Bucky should play to top the
14496s	king's card and if you place to kill a
14498s	top decks King's card he used to block
14500s	tenor
14501s	and then he can use the get the brush on
14505s	the bundle Cutters and he has a little
14507s	extra technically
14510s	yeah but as we can see we know cameras
14512s	generated a block of brash
14514s	um
14515s	I mean so far Bucky has little on a
14519s	on the next swing three three seven
14523s	but not quite we poke you the Nexus here
14525s	just a draw right
14529s	okay
14532s	now to not give them an action next turn
14534s	to play an extra unit right I mean you
14536s	can draw another unit that's discounted
14538s	and you can swing with four units
14541s	that wouldn't be it
14543s	uh it's a price fight so that's an extra
14545s	three damage with Pablo so that's still
14547s	really good that's six
14550s	um that's lethal it's lethal yeah
14553s	um not including signpost obviously
14556s	I think I hope uh
14558s	if you first Nexus
14560s	cards but maybe he wants to have that
14562s	option
14563s	uh to use it on the unit
14573s	I hope that you would go next to the
14575s	spoken to see that row
14579s	because King's Court would be better
14580s	drop here than the Pablo oh camillary
14583s	not developing I guess it doesn't really
14585s	matter
14589s	okay there's I mean she wants to draw
14591s	with signpost
14592s	maybe no he doesn't want to draw
14596s	that's a card row that's a perfect
14599s	cartoon from Bucky
14601s	uh that sounds gonna have uh impact
14604s	just push another bit of damage force a
14607s	blocker there uh which is going to be
14609s	inefficient as seven attacking people
14611s	[Music]
14614s	it's only got a single impact right now
14616s	which isn't ideal
14618s	um but it's enough it's enough yes
14624s	yeah so that's like there's nothing to
14626s	do like he can he yeah he I mean he'll
14628s	design he has to signpost in the combat
14631s	for the prize fight and when he is down
14633s	to two HP
14635s	but if you full attacks when he has
14637s	detail so he like all hiboki has to do
14639s	oh no he doesn't his or still you can do
14642s	the Vlog they can block everything yeah
14644s	yeah so it's it's it's but you want him
14646s	to block with the five two you want them
14648s	to block with the Gunners yeah they have
14651s	you have to force it so you have to
14652s	attack
14654s	the thing is we know camillard's got
14656s	four impacts in hand next time yeah
14658s	we'll Scout weapon if he gets it
14661s	oh yeah the Scout workman's a complete
14663s	this turn too wait wait
14668s	if and if there's a price fight or
14670s	something that's yeah that might be it I
14672s	mean that's it doesn't the students just
14674s	for for impact on its own yeah yeah when
14678s	you just swing twice yeah exactly that's
14679s	what I'm thinking yeah you win if there
14682s	is nothing to the top deck from Bucky
14685s	but do you play at this time did you
14687s	play next or you play next time you have
14688s	no mother to play this turn you need to
14689s	use the the samples
14693s	and you get to draw a card too which is
14694s	great
14697s	yeah it doesn't matter like you just
14698s	need your scouting today
14704s	I mean it's got two units I think always
14706s	dying right I don't think there's a
14709s	that's a goodness I don't think there's
14710s	a world where let's get you hit stays
14712s	alive and group shot not ideal like that
14716s	it's fine
14718s	you can get rid of the the the the the
14721s	Elusive and then you can I think you'll
14723s	get rid of elusive now so like this this
14726s	takes away I mean it doesn't matter
14728s	because if there is a top Decker group
14730s	shot he could kill his own unit in front
14733s	of faithful and like this way you you
14735s	force you to block uh your first Bucky
14737s	to block Tristana eventually if there is
14739s	a top deck group so I mean that never
14741s	really works because there's the owl in
14743s	hand I mean if he looks without first
14745s	time and then after using group shot on
14748s	his old him to block with Tristana
14750s	yeah on the second swing so like the pro
14753s	point is to kill Tristana if the top
14755s	deck is old
14757s	if the top deck is group shot or like
14759s	pythos or whatever I mean I think
14762s	Camilla is all in on that oh never mind
14764s	he just price fight if that's that it
14767s	oh that's not that oh he's that
14770s	that's it it's coming that it goes for
14771s	it Kevin already has it
14773s	does camera I think I think camera you
14775s	just have to go for it right
14777s	I mean he didn't go last time I don't
14780s	know if he'll go this time I like the
14782s	time I know I like the team at first
14784s	um fish for information yeah yeah and
14786s	now he knows it's it's little
14790s	and now they are perfect they go for the
14792s	Furious Facebook they get before impact
14795s	they get them out oh kamalari is gonna
14799s	be our winner
14801s	semi-finals
14803s	unfortunately for Bucky that is it
14807s	Ben the bet the bundle city mayor
14809s	generating more impact units here for
14812s	kamalari to take this match
14816s	oh slam that bad boy in yep it's slotted
14820s	boys ready
14822s	mushroom is already angry and he's about
14824s	to smug
14826s	and Teemo by the ways to swing it in oh
14829s	emergency attacks accidents
14831s	don't jinx it now don't do not jinx it
14835s	oh Pocky book is in despair that's
14839s	exactly one over little but oh
14843s	he's sad
14844s	hey it's super unfortunate for Bucky
14846s	because the bucket managed to just try
14849s	and stabilize for so long it was trying
14851s	to set up so many good turns here yeah
14854s	it coming out here the premium opener in
14856s	the opposition to Bucky Bucky had a poor
14858s	hand and he managed like he got a he had
14860s	a good top decks yeah he nearly turned
14862s	it around even with starting with the
14864s	poor open in response to camillary just
14866s	unfortunately Vandal city mayor was just
14869s	too good of a generator for camillary so
14872s	managed to get that extra eight damage
14874s	by her impact securing that match uh
14877s	congratulations to Camilla making it to
14879s	the semi-finals hey sit down with a
14881s	style yeah just coming with left coming
14883s	through right and at the fall no X was
14887s	fall
14890s	Journey unfortunately is over but it
14892s	should be still proud did a fantastic
14894s	trip here straight into the top eight
14896s	and camillary will be going all the way
14898s	through to the semi-finals top four
14900s	well played both players
14904s	oh here is the top eight bracket that
14906s	we're seeing now so we've got Camilla
14907s	versus Anno felius I know felius beating
14909s	salty Simon 2-1
14912s	an underdog here in the series uh I mean
14915s	the player with don't not know about
14917s	at all yeah clear Underdog making all
14920s	the way through the same if he's super
14921s	interesting him knocking out salty Simon
14923s	uh one of the players we would have
14925s	thought is a sort of a favorite here
14927s	um to make it through at least to the
14929s	semis and then Spike's also being
14930s	knocked out by Robo master so we've got
14932s	tilted vs Roma Master on the other side
14934s	and yeah is out
14938s	classic
14939s	Baya
14942s	ah this is shaping up to be a fantastic
14944s	tournament this is absolutely fantastic
14947s	and we're going to be hopping to a short
14949s	break and when we're back we're going to
14951s	be having our semi-final matches ready

15393s	we are back everybody with what will be
15397s	our first set of semi-finals but for
15401s	those of you guys all tuning in my name
15402s	is gems joining me obviously is the
15404s	former Champion Alan here we've been
15406s	having a fantastic day of runeterra
15408s	action and we just came away from a
15410s	fantastic series here between Bucky and
15413s	camillari essentially two kind of sort
15417s	of mirror matches mirror lineups because
15418s	the bands canceled out the different
15420s	decks between the two of them and it
15422s	unfortunately ended with Bucky being
15424s	knocked out 2-1 against camillary
15427s	I mean one of the men had to take it
15429s	down like you can't like both players
15431s	cannot win obviously and that was pretty
15433s	amazing series back and forth we had two
15435s	mirror matches uh that were showing us
15438s	the strength of the decks honestly and
15441s	like how to play play out them with even
15444s	worse hands and how to play out even
15447s	though kamilari had a better hand a book
15450s	you managed to fight back in the game
15452s	three uh pretty pretty well yeah it was
15455s	a fantastic showing of just the sort of
15457s	player skill between the two of the uh
15459s	the two of these players
15461s	um and as we saw the match ended with
15463s	spectacular fashion with the Scout
15466s	impact for damage to clean it up here
15469s	for camillary and no no it was team was
15471s	putting the Marshall to the deck finish
15473s	in the game hello
15477s	on the right
15479s	people was on the right so the game was
15481s	ended before Timo swung
15484s	listen animation went off
15486s	you don't know
15488s	nothing
15490s	and we're going to have a look here at
15493s	our uh brackets here of our semi-finals
15495s	we had a sort of brief chat here before
15497s	the break but again we have camillary
15498s	versus anaphylius on the top side here
15500s	and Coke versus the robot Master versus
15503s	tilted which will be our featured match
15505s	for today uh here in the semis out of
15508s	these two and how are you looking
15509s	forward to this we've been mentioning
15511s	tilted he's a really old uh player in
15514s	terms he's been around the block here
15516s	took a long break to come back and his
15519s	first stroke in a while straight into
15521s	the semis how are you feeling oh he's
15523s	like I I'm not washed I'm gonna show
15526s	those Gamers who is the true king here
15528s	coming back swinging to our wink half of
15531s	the field man
15540s	probably the most interesting list
15542s	because it's an Ionia
15544s	oh
15547s	oh I didn't see that
15549s	no we didn't see this before properly um
15552s	it is an Ionia version Oh I think that's
15554s	that's the version from this popular
15557s	from the Sean Paul on the EU that that I
15560s	haven't seen that I'm looking forward to
15561s	try that on the ladder but it looks very
15563s	cool with syncopation like you have so
15566s	many ways to uh trick your opponent into
15569s	link with your twist onto the Nexus just
15572s	swap her in play flurry of the feast
15574s	boom 20. what you gonna do about it you
15577s	also have a card like will of the
15579s	ironingo in the list too and ghost
15581s	um will have I only can be used in the
15582s	sort of the defensive matchups if your
15584s	opponent's playing a key card like their
15585s	own Tristana or if Pantheon maybe
15587s	doesn't get spell Shield or something
15589s	like that you can Will it give yourself
15591s	an extra turn to get those attacks in
15593s	and ghosts for those sneaky sort of
15595s	again the sneaky uh sneaking wins where
15598s	you attack with a bunch of impact with
15599s	like bundles bundle Gunners for like
15601s	eight damage with elusive wine of
15603s	silence is pretty cool it's a it's a
15605s	perfect one off to this deck it's just a
15608s	slam it on six with a bunch of units
15612s	get that as well as if you maybe do
15614s	start to run out of gas a little bit you
15617s	have that as backup just in case so it's
15620s	great but the second deck as we can see
15621s	here is the Swain and lowie we haven't
15623s	actually seen much of this
15625s	decked yeah it was banned
15627s	um so this is going to be very
15628s	interesting to see if uh whether or not
15631s	this does get banned the stack in
15633s	general hasn't seen too much playing in
15635s	the tournament so it's gonna be
15636s	interesting to see how well it plays out
15638s	here in the current weather currently
15639s	obviously must be doing fantastic
15640s	because robo's been getting all the way
15642s	to the semis with this lineup wait I
15643s	just realized we've seen the robots
15645s	tourist game yeah but he didn't throw a
15648s	single Ionia card sauce
15651s	let's check what's the activity brought
15653s	it to us again oh we have some here's
15655s	the bilge I'm more of a standard lineup
15657s	this is Samira and echoing so like this
15661s	is the the lineup that basically was
15663s	believed by many including me that's
15666s	just the best standout deck to go into
15668s	day one and that just is just soaking
15671s	consistent you're gonna how you can
15673s	outskill a lot of players and I'm happy
15676s	to see the Tilted text even today too
15678s	and to proves people that's like like
15680s	just bring a good lineup for they too
15681s	don't care about Target matchups don't
15683s	care about strategies just bring good
15685s	decks alone and we I mean we've seen
15687s	that consistently in the past throughout
15689s	tournament sometimes just bringing three
15690s	good decks ends up being the best
15693s	strategy consistently making it to the
15695s	to the Finals over prior tournaments and
15697s	uh overthinking can potentially end up
15701s	being a detriment for some players and a
15703s	benefit to others but in this case just
15705s	sticking with what you know on top of
15706s	that is also super beneficial you're
15708s	comfortable you know how to play these
15710s	matchups you've played the time and time
15712s	again rather than trying to change it up
15714s	last minute you played already nine
15715s	rounds with these decks you know how
15717s	they work in every in most scenarios
15719s	just stick with them
15721s	yeah um I can't wait to see more of the
15725s	um
15726s	rubber Masters Swain iloi because we've
15729s	seen it banned and it's kinda it's kinda
15732s	the ladder deck I feel that for the most
15734s	part I haven't seen it much at the
15736s	tournament play and I want to see how it
15738s	fares into the
15740s	the more of the classic lineup but it's
15742s	pretty good you have a lot of bombs that
15744s	are early especially if you draw Idol uh
15747s	it and into Elion four that's a real
15749s	deck but I feel like if you don't get
15751s	Idol the text starts to struggle because
15754s	like you need to have this reliable
15756s	source of the tentacles generation and
15760s	if you don't the deck starts falling
15762s	apart if you just like slam Eloy or a
15765s	center on turn free without much of a
15767s	board this
15768s	band's actually really interesting
15770s	because if your Robo Master you're
15773s	bringing this sort of unique spice it
15775s	means tilty has to think extra hard
15776s	about what the worst matchups are for
15778s	him
15779s	um because I feel like you're still
15781s	going to kind of be okay into the Ionia
15783s	version for the most part
15786s	um but do you consider Banning maybe
15787s	pants a mirage or the allowing Swain
15790s	what are you scared of if you're tilted
15791s	it's very tough decision here
15794s	I'm looking I mean you definitely banned
15797s	from fish Samira if you're a robot
15798s	Master because the deck is just faster
15800s	and like if there is a bun on Pantheon
15802s	Samira I don't have really good matchups
15804s	you have because technically one off and
15807s	you can choose little with like Samira
15808s	into damage up but I think this Samira
15812s	might be the ban from Robo master I'm
15815s	not sure on the matchups like I don't
15817s	like again I didn't play any any of
15820s	those like except Samira Pantheon the
15822s	bigger extent uh but Robo monster could
15826s	also just ban Echo drinks because it's
15827s	the most consistent decks out of all and
15829s	it's the scariest when it High Rolls
15831s	yeah the thing is you have to consider
15833s	obviously is that the echo drinks has
15834s	cards such as quicksand available to it
15836s	which is going to be a premium card
15838s	against uh practically all three decks
15840s	of Robo Master you can use it on the
15843s	Samira the pantheon the Swain the illawi
15845s	the Tristana if there's anything
15846s	patience or ghosts right you can remove
15848s	the Imp you can remove so much uh
15851s	positive effects
15853s	um that is a little bit scary of a card
15855s	for Roadmaster deal with so maybe we do
15857s	just see Diego jinxpad I mean like
15859s	that's like play that's like burning
15861s	deck just because it has a right of
15863s	negation
15864s	if you've got three decks out of
15867s	uh have a trouble against it you can you
15869s	might want to consider it
15872s	hmm definitely interesting one I'm not
15875s	sure the Buns here like who
15877s	I think it's definitely not a Bantry
15879s	Stana Nar that's what I'm starting it's
15882s	between Samira or Echo Jinx and from the
15886s	Tilted side
15888s	oh might be Pantheon Samira Bond if he
15892s	expects Echo jigsbad is definitely
15893s	Samira
15896s	but maybe he'll ah it's tough man it's
15900s	super tough I think I think uh this this
15902s	match could be potentially determined
15904s	right here depending on what they choose
15905s	the band and the players have to spend
15909s	their full sort of a minute or so when
15911s	they have a choice here to figure out
15913s	what do they want to ban because I mean
15915s	obviously they have a chance to look
15916s	through the deck list try to figure out
15918s	uh what cards they're most scared of
15920s	that sort of thing if there's any Tech
15922s	choices they have to be afraid of and
15924s	then try to decide from there it's gonna
15925s	be an incredibly tough decision
15927s	especially when you play these
15929s	non-standard lineups it's not standard
15931s	lives make spanning you have to be very
15933s	comfortable with what your game
15935s	knowledge overall is and where you think
15937s	your net your positives and negatives
15939s	with your matchups are gonna be
15942s	like the more I think about it the more
15944s	I would like to see a bun on the fish
15946s	the Samira Pantheon because the way that
15949s	this deck can interact with your special
15951s	units and like your face is way more
15955s	efficient than enough other decks other
15957s	dogs need to use spells on your units
15959s	and like you do like that's kinda
15962s	inefficient so like I think getting rid
15964s	of the Samurai that makes the most sense
15965s	if you assume that your Decks that
15968s	you're gonna be playing is Visa Mira and
15970s	the Tristana bundle
15974s	if you assume that Echo drinks is bad so
15976s	I wouldn't be surprised if we're gonna
15978s	see just a few Samira Pantheon one and
15981s	the echo Jinx based on the leftover
15983s	matchups and
15985s	that might leave us with the swaini LOI
15987s	we got that we're gonna see finally on
15989s	the stream I mean there's also a
15990s	consideration that verbalmaster's cup to
15992s	bonus on the Swain allowing in to fix
15995s	the mirror right we look at the the deck
15997s	list there's stuff like heavy metals
15999s	feathers pirouettes tentacle smash which
16002s	can and triple Mirai Warden uh as like
16006s	sort of additional blockers potentially
16007s	although it was amazing where he's
16009s	smacking Q45
16013s	you try to cut space on this fees yep
16016s	good luck
16017s	all right we'll see
16019s	Robo Master playing Sweeney Lowry
16021s	against trees to build water so the next
16023s	two we that we expected to stay around
16025s	and when we have a premium hand from the
16027s	Tilt it having all the early game
16029s	development that you really hope for
16031s	that's literally the best possible hand
16032s	you would hope for and when the robots
16034s	are coming literally the best possible
16035s	hat as well having a idol on one and Eli
16038s	in four Swain on five eleven a cup on 36
16040s	with the uh flock this is absolutely
16043s	premium hands from both players the only
16045s	thing you could have asked for maybe was
16047s	another like maybe one of the oh there's
16049s	the heavy metal
16050s	problem solved
16058s	what the
16061s	it's absolutely the craziest head I've
16063s	ever seen from this deck
16065s	I mean it happens right this is It's a
16067s	card game you end up having this as an
16069s	issue the three three tentacle is going
16071s	to be uh fantastic and we are just being
16073s	told on what the bands are so we know uh
16077s	now that the Samira Fizz was banned and
16079s	the Samira so Samira no one wanting to
16082s	play against Samira right now
16084s	oh man but I I I'm shocked like I'm
16088s	looking at this hand I can't believe
16090s	what I see like I'm seeing coming down
16093s	on four I'm not sure if she's not
16095s	leveling even here on the swing like
16097s	what are you gonna do like you're
16098s	staring down at is how much is it seven
16101s	six overwhelm and the five five was she
16104s	12 level up or no 16 it's 12. she's
16108s	leveling a cup
16111s	oh 15. okay she's not leveling up it's
16115s	okay it's fine it's close it's oh she's
16117s	going sorry no no no no no no actually
16119s	it's plus two it's one off yeah it's
16121s	close
16123s	it's very very close uh and then next
16125s	time would be Robo Masters trying to
16127s	swing
16129s	wow
16131s	sway leveled up
16137s	like the set is illegal like what's
16140s	going on
16142s	and tilted just obviously what is tilted
16145s	out here has to have tilted absolutely
16147s	needs a price fight combo oh look
16149s	another removal that's that's that's
16151s	pretty good
16154s	really had was a prize fight combo which
16156s	doesn't have access to right now I mean
16159s	all you can do is just develop a little
16161s	one to a loser yeah it's fine I'll
16163s	develop my Emperor it's fine
16167s	turning out to be a potentially very
16169s	quick game here from robomaster and we
16172s	could see why Robo Master's been doing
16174s	so well in this tournament
16176s	um this deck yeah yeah tilted nose next
16179s	turn that is it the good play are you
16182s	like eye proof like kilos
16185s	save mental say yeah if you know the
16187s	game's gonna be over I mean until it
16189s	didn't really have any way to stop uh
16192s	the Swain there at 7 HP didn't have a
16194s	price fight ping combo didn't have any
16196s	way to stop but lowie that next turn was
16199s	gonna be Swain was gonna decimate the
16201s	whole board with the three damage AOE
16203s	and then moving straight into the quick
16205s	game two and this is the sort of not
16207s	really a mirror mirror we've got the
16209s	Ionia version versus the bandal both
16211s	doing weird combat tricks
16213s	um we've got the prize fights of one
16214s	side and we've got the syncopations and
16216s	ghosts on the other side
16219s	man that game oh sweet all right let's
16222s	see eye on your version oh I'm looking
16224s	forward to Ionia version
16226s	it's supposed to be very good into
16228s	mirror what I've heard
16231s	yeah and this is just unfortunately
16233s	because it doesn't oh he could counter
16235s	that play with the price like he choose
16237s	to keep it like there was just like
16238s	there was an option to think about it
16240s	but here's another elusive so it's fine
16242s	you just draw pythos I mean I think you
16245s	wanted to keep the combo cards for the I
16248s	think you want to keep them for just the
16250s	what's called uh for the combo pieces
16252s	yeah I think it's for the bigger units
16254s	you have to right because the problem
16256s	with this matchup is that uh often you
16260s	you're just going to be trading units a
16261s	lot of times so you need the price
16263s	fights to sort of win the match
16265s	I'm not sure about developing now all I
16268s	think saving Commander with the because
16270s	oh okay you can just stop like another
16271s	unit that you can play so I was thinking
16273s	about playing my orders turn into all
16274s	and you save other because otherwise if
16276s	you develop minor now you don't utilize
16278s	his effect but if any if you know that
16280s	you're gonna top deck or generate card
16282s	you can play that would be pretty handy
16285s	going for the barrier this turn stops
16287s	the attack from broken Master which I
16289s	don't mind it's quite good um because
16290s	you know in this matchup they you don't
16292s	have to worry about sort of price fight
16294s	Shenanigans you have to worry about
16295s	other Shenanigans from this thing wait
16297s	next we have the distance we have
16299s	Tristana and next then we're gonna see
16301s	Mayo sorry Mayo silent coming down there
16305s	so that looks that looks pretty solid
16307s	well Simon is great it doesn't really
16309s	matter that much because
16313s	um the attack attack threshold on Robo
16315s	monster Side High Enough
16316s	I mean the tutu turning free too that
16320s	one to Turning two free does matter
16324s	those feelings matter
16326s	and you drove two cards on top
16330s	do this this is a full swing I mean I
16332s	like this because you know
16334s	uh you have more refill in hand you have
16338s	now you have Tristana you have plus kind
16339s	you're looking pretty okay here
16342s	um
16344s	like low on the units like he needs to
16347s	be here
16348s	[Music]
16351s	uh maybe he doesn't like because
16354s	you can Kilted can also choose to remove
16358s	trustana hair should they want to
16360s	um they can use the the combo the price
16363s	fire into the pythos I mean sorry ski
16366s	there's syncopation they already want to
16369s	come by your yeah like they want to
16371s	throw a combo and like there is a reason
16373s	to Rubble Master like look if this was
16375s	for a bluff it's a it's a goddamn
16377s	good bluff uh because you kept your
16380s	special unit which is technically
16382s	trading with other unit later on but
16384s	this way you could have potentially
16385s	beloved syncopation that you want to
16388s	keep it to swap with Tristana so and you
16390s	you still keep a blocker and the one
16392s	just use two cards for and not even
16393s	removing your uh all
16396s	that would be genius bluff if that's
16399s	what the robot master plan was I mean
16401s	it's not necessarily a fluffy just might
16402s	be planning around it right he's just
16404s	taking he's playing it safe it's not
16406s	really a I mean he could have blocked
16408s	with like he could have presented
16410s	prevented the damage by blocking with
16413s	all uh and like this that all is not
16417s	even attacking because you don't have a
16418s	good attack with it right
16420s	so you keep it open for the the like
16424s	it's blocking anyone later on and by
16427s	keeping it you basically play around the
16429s	removal yeah he had another audience he
16431s	could swap with but that unit would die
16433s	from the same combo and you would
16435s	preserve the old cut
16436s	and you can still use that unit later
16438s	and there we go we see the sync control
16443s	yes oh that's if tilted doesn't block
16447s	here no you don't feel that you keep it
16449s	to protect your earrings from combo
16452s	as much unless you can present literally
16455s	it's not worth
16456s	or set up little in two turns
16460s	I mean the same default is going to be a
16462s	bit difficult for Ruby master in this
16464s	matchup um without I think ghosts or
16467s	elusive
16468s	um the other options of his generating
16469s	loads of impacts and yep there's that
16471s	buster shot shuffling another Tristana
16472s	back
16473s	uh just does not want to deal with na at
16477s	all and tilt it feeling a little bit
16479s	pressured here maybe feeling forced to
16481s	use this to generate a poke stick to
16483s	remove the Tristana I mean that's a very
16485s	good talent for tilted like you get the
16487s	you get to utilize now you get to
16488s	utilize the
16490s	um you got to kill three Sada like so
16492s	robot master was not planning to protect
16494s	her at recite at all he just wants to
16496s	take out then I just wanna like he sees
16498s	that he's in the advantage so he doesn't
16500s	mind
16501s	simply the second one
16504s	yeah unfortunately though
16506s	um did we see in Robo Masters there's a
16509s	buster shot there
16511s	can try to remove this uh uh Tristan
16514s	okay obviously you can't do it straight
16516s	away you have to do two actions yes I
16518s	mean you take the damn you lose the unit
16520s	I think you just developed our body here
16524s	and you just jump block her and it's
16526s	okay question what do you develop
16527s	because you don't really want to
16528s	development
16530s	like he can't blow
16533s	attacks him a free Pocky
16539s	well this is I mean this could
16540s	theoretically so tilted has a few
16543s	options
16545s	was developed the other option was just
16547s	develop a weapon on
16550s	on Tristana with the weapon Master uh
16553s	get the plus one HP or tough or
16556s	something
16557s	splits slightly too faster he should
16559s	consider using on the Stark Pocky stick
16562s	to remove one attacker he should
16564s	constantly I'm not saying he should have
16565s	done it but consider at least to remove
16567s	one blocker because then you force
16569s	opponent to jump block Tristana with
16571s	either signing or the other carton but
16573s	he has way better swing as well see this
16575s	is why I'm not a fan of this line I
16577s	think they should have played the weapon
16579s	first I'm just done all right
16580s	you get to develop weapon Master give a
16582s	unit impact your son gets another impact
16584s	you protect yourself from Buster shots
16586s	yeah I'm pretty sure developing there
16588s	was better I don't know like
16591s	I I'm not sure I was the thought
16592s	processor to develop after combat and
16595s	like if you go into the combat I would
16597s	consider Walking On The Stack but with
16599s	the king's court object that Pocky
16600s	became infinitely a better to answer
16603s	that we stand up well that is true we
16605s	know Roman Masters deck is all about
16607s	those sneaky combat tries to singapation
16610s	the will of Ionia can come in clutch
16612s	here the deny as well depending on the
16614s	ordering all of which can
16618s	in a fantastic spot the problem is he
16622s	put himself in this position where he
16623s	might need to use syncopation before
16625s	opponent to commit prize fight with
16626s	Pocky because if he blocks Nar with just
16629s	a boat and when he makes the good trades
16632s	and when the Tilted passes
16635s	and when you might be in the rough spot
16638s	where you have to use your sinkhole
16640s	early
16642s	because like I'll just let's block the
16644s	just block the nerve with the boat now
16646s	and block the other like why not force
16648s	opponent to do like you do not force any
16650s	cars by doing display
16653s	yeah I mean the curb is going to be kind
16655s	of quite happy there just to take that
16656s	right and then yeah play pasta shot here
16659s	remove the king's court
16661s	can also try
16663s	I mean yeah I think you just removed the
16665s	the king's court here with bust the shot
16667s	you have will of Ionia next turn for
16669s	Tristana should meet should she need to
16671s	as well as a deny backup
16677s	tilted kinda has to go for the combo
16679s	here
16680s	I mean you just utilize probably knife
16681s	here if you're a robot monster United
16683s	though
16687s	I like this just to sort of delaying it
16689s	doing it in stages getting a brush
16691s	really good that's a good play
16695s	and just passing yeah yeah
16699s	that's a good very good play
16705s	yeah I think this is gonna be
16706s	interesting from
16708s	uh tilt decide how tilted looks to try
16711s	and close out potentially this turn so
16713s	we have obviously the three damage
16715s	coming from oh do you do you just go
16719s	wide with the the Eye of like a horse is
16721s	that there was a consideration there
16722s	right but I mean
16724s	the the top deck is also fantastic you
16727s	mentioned this a few batches ago where
16729s	uh if you draw the second nah uh when we
16732s	had the X if you run three Nars with no
16734s	teemos you get the access to those
16735s	wallets and that wall up here is gonna
16737s	be fantastic to deny uh impact here
16740s	and you can sync a patient here
16742s	defensively if you need to
16744s	yep
16745s	is amazing
16748s	because we still have mother for Will
16750s	and uh and uh well oh wow that's another
16753s	good row yeah for the star in the butt
16755s	overall you probably just go for the
16757s	iron Boris right here because it's it's
16759s	Focus speed uh there's no response it's
16762s	another unit wide uh that hits for two
16764s	which makes it very very difficult
16768s	you'll definitely develop
16777s	so nah you can Will to stop threes
16782s	attacked you can wall up to stop another
16786s	three you're still taking six damage
16794s	you have Brash on the three ones which
16796s	then I can't block that
16800s	you can't develop enough here to defend
16802s	yourself
16803s	um group shot doesn't yeah that's I
16805s	think that's game I think
16807s	uh tilted's gonna even out this match
16809s	bring it to a nice one one here between
16811s	the two and we should in theory be going
16813s	to a game three
16816s	ah this Series has been so good these
16818s	matches have been absolutely fantastic
16820s	popped here from both sides and
16821s	unfortunately this syncopation version
16823s	for rubbermaster handsome panned out
16826s	this game
16828s	does play not life still
16831s	he should have blocked I mean that
16833s	opened at least but like you like if
16836s	there is a future attack with Tristana
16837s	first there is no there's none of that
16840s	it's just flurry or face will denying a
16842s	patient goes there's no there's no life
16844s	still here at all
16846s	nothing to worry about from there unless
16847s	there's something randomly generated
16849s	somehow
16852s	foreign
16871s	we do get to see a game three here and
16873s	tilt it
16875s	as as I've been told to say
16879s	champion of the the university League
16881s	here in Germany oh nice uh back again
16885s	fantastic unileega winner uh go
16888s	potentially gonna be making it to the
16891s	Grand finals if they're able to take
16892s	this match final game
16895s	let's see how it plays out Rob monster
16898s	tilted
16900s	we see the classic
16901s	one free in opening that's money got
16904s	away let's see
16906s	oh I would go with the predict here for
16908s	the future like yeah I guess you get
16910s	Mana like you don't want to draw into no
16913s	so it was better like I didn't see the
16915s	attack you predict this turn it's fine I
16918s	mean the problem is obviously the you
16921s	don't have Echo you don't have enough
16922s	predicts yet you've drawn two now
16925s	um
16925s	you can still play you played the
16927s	ancient prep here first right
16931s	uh uh yeah to just have information
16934s	you definitely played to get your from
16937s	your decade borders
16940s	current amounts are fantastic just a 2-3
16942s	can block a unit I don't know with this
16945s	hand I think I would go for the
16947s	peripheral pre-science
16949s	you swing you play the I would play the
16953s	one Mana domestic shot and next time you
16955s	you Pro You can predict another low cost
16958s	new level Jinx installed
16960s	I mean I just like having units against
16962s	the Vandal deck right it's the same
16964s	function really
16966s	um you don't yeah so you can get Federal
16968s	presidents now you can Buckeye again all
16970s	of them pretty cheap depends how
16972s	aggressive you want to be on this Jinx
16973s	level up
16974s	I mean I like traveling drink on four
16977s	and the coming mother for rocket
16983s	so yeah you can play the two drop you're
16985s	gonna be one Mana short of doing that
16987s	though oh no you get the better back
16988s	from the reward sheets you're fine yeah
16990s	you can still go for it yeah yeah you
16992s	just need to pick foreign
16995s	and you get leveled up Jinx on four such
16997s	this is like such a uncommon line from
17001s	this deck because a lot of the time that
17003s	you're looking for is for that echo on
17005s	four so you can get that crota break
17007s	shuffled in I mean the world the best
17009s	Robo Master play is just play con
17011s	Blaster pass
17013s	yep yep not great um this is looking
17016s	really really rough for rubber master
17018s	um didn't get any of sort of the early
17020s	game generation cards you want
17023s	um the elusives and even if robust was
17026s	able to do that there's a Mystic shot
17037s	I mean do you as tilted yeah I think you
17040s	can just go there's a slap yeah of
17041s	course how do you even think that's a
17043s	decision yeah you just flip her and
17046s	you're laughing at your opponent you
17048s	missed out oh just get the drop order
17049s	and then get a Time trick for next time
17051s	yeah it's true Patrick's fantastic
17055s	um
17056s	not only that quicksand is fantastic
17058s	yours
17060s	yeah you don't need it yeah
17064s	you need to empty your you need to
17066s	literally up key your hand to get Rocket
17068s	well like there is zero points into
17070s	going for the quicksand because you
17071s	can't cast it even and this open attack
17073s	is just gonna be enough right
17077s	um I mean there will be will yeah it's
17079s	forced to will the Jinx which is really
17081s	not what you want to do
17083s	you're a debt
17085s	you take so much damage this time
17087s	there's the time trick there is oh man
17090s	there's voices and it's leveled up not
17092s	even from Echo it's from Jinx normally
17094s	you want the echo to guarantee the
17095s	voices level up but this way around is
17098s	just super uncommon in this matchup and
17100s	it's gonna Spell absolute disaster
17103s	oh because now what happens is
17106s	rubbermaster has to block
17108s	um Jing uh it has the will uh the voices
17110s	of blocks yeah
17112s	yep he's dead you have to block Jinx and
17115s	will voices I believe
17118s	10 because now you're in rocket range I
17121s	don't yeah I don't like this because
17123s	what else he can do like it's just like
17126s	you are just dead and
17132s	yeah because tilty keeps short time
17134s	tricks
17135s	it's fine doesn't matter you just draw
17137s	the echo you draw get excited from the
17141s	the zinc spell it's fine there you go
17143s	cling to go again if you want
17147s	you chill
17148s	like you are not losing game from the
17150s	spot like I don't know like there would
17152s	need to be a spirit Refuge to come back
17154s	from this game and then no quicksand
17156s	from the uh
17157s	there's no shot like if you lose from
17161s	this spot you just delete the deck
17163s	to be weirded out we know there's no
17165s	Spirits Refuge or even anywhere to
17166s	really gets good for a future
17168s	um on the side of brother Master
17170s	that have sort of interaction we know of
17173s	a syncopation ghost and will there's
17175s	obviously flurry of fists but we're not
17176s	really worried about flowers oh that's
17178s	that's useful
17179s	break on the top okay the current a
17182s	break you just start attacking from next
17184s	time onwards and that should spell This
17186s	Disaster for Roper master and tilt it
17188s	would be most likely our first finalist
17192s	that we know of
17198s	today some this series had the most
17200s	disgusting openers I've seen in a long
17203s	time
17204s	for both sides as well that's the thing
17206s	oh look at that top deck that's pretty
17208s	handy
17209s	both sides had an amazing open in two
17212s	different matches which is a fantastic
17215s	to save but this is unfortunately a card
17217s	game and the variance does happen is a
17221s	gamer that's why you break those decks
17223s	because those decks do you dirty and
17225s	there is nothing opponent could have
17227s	done you just can't see it go Nick this
17229s	is exactly
17231s	guilted that made the game one winning
17233s	play he conceded to save mental save
17237s	mental ended up in winning him the next
17239s	games is
17240s	I mean that that does that is a
17243s	completely viable strategy and it's
17245s	proven to be uh perfect for him because
17248s	sometimes you just don't want to spend
17250s	time planning out turns you know you're
17251s	going to lose right you know you're
17253s	losing just
17254s	go top right hit that surrender button
17256s	move into the next game
17258s	and it will be uh just fantastic series
17261s	from him I mean congratulations to
17263s	Tilton is our first finalist of the day
17265s	and we're going to be helping you
17266s	hopefully to the second semi now to see
17267s	who our second finalist is going to be
17269s	and it's nofelius versus cameri and
17272s	we're seeing a Samira level up right now
17273s	games were so quick that we can just
17276s	watch some seconds like this feels like
17278s	the uh the birthday let's go
17282s	okay this is a Samira level up but if
17285s	we're just looking at card hand and card
17286s	that's a turn for Samira level up oh
17290s	yeah while that is true the card quality
17293s	in both sides hands are really small uh
17295s	because they had their own Bob uh chain
17299s	here they didn't have many cards what is
17300s	this there in the fire look at this
17302s	board what's going on monkeys everywhere
17305s	why are they playing so fast monk is
17308s	everywhere
17310s	holy
17315s	well there is monkeys I mean anaphylase
17317s	has a really tough choice here do they
17318s	go for more draw do they go for that
17320s	Samira
17323s	Samira for sure
17325s	you don't your hand quality is really
17327s	bad are you sure you want to go for that
17328s	you have another card though for the
17329s	next turn and your candy is not bad it's
17331s	really good what do you mean you have
17333s	all out you have Swindle you have really
17335s	good hand to go with Samira how is this
17337s	bad
17338s	it's really good like the next stand you
17341s	get to kill opponents Samira you can
17343s	check your opponent's hand like it's Top
17345s	Gear
17347s	like I would say that I don't feel this
17350s	is ahead in this spot oh you do yeah
17353s	that's also pretty handy
17355s	but pretty sure you
17359s	you it's a Swindle you need to you need
17361s	to act you don't really want to spend
17363s	oh I like this just scouting right just
17366s	trying to see what cards are in hand and
17368s	this that should give you a huge sort of
17369s	tip that there was one Champion I
17371s	believe right they only saw two cards
17373s	yeah yeah
17377s	like he knows that he's drawing this
17379s	turn
17381s	so like he needed to get the discount
17382s	anyway and he just doesn't care about
17384s	the
17386s	the stylish shot steady show shot was
17388s	just an inner neighborhood
17390s	I like that he played the one that he
17392s	swindled to not give her information
17393s	about his current fan because of an
17396s	opponent would literally know that he
17397s	has another all out that's a very good
17399s	kind of play
17401s	heads up
17404s	I mean and now camillary has to make a
17407s	educated guess
17409s	has another one in the hand I mean I
17413s	think you it's not you don't really want
17416s	to commit both right you kind of just
17417s	wanted to play a second Samira right I
17419s	don't it's the second Samira is this
17421s	nothing allowed I thought it was a
17422s	second Samira because then he saw two
17423s	cards with this window
17426s	I mean also it's a mirror yeah but you
17429s	know there are two cards random there
17431s	could be another Swindle that would
17433s	destroy you so it's probably better to
17435s	just let it go
17441s	and at this point anopheles knows the
17444s	whole camillary hand two cards are a
17447s	heads up visible
17448s	and the other one you've seen through
17450s	the Swindle and yeah no level up on some
17453s	ground just yet but he'll be able to do
17455s	that the next turn well that is true I
17458s	feel is losing most likely that's the
17460s	mirror on the backswing the next time
17463s	um and those are okay cards but not it
17467s	might be a little bit late both players
17469s	on the here are looking for is just
17471s	second and third copies of powder
17472s	pandemonium I mean if camilleri greets
17475s	and develops the hero that you need a
17478s	conference wins I mean I don't I don't
17480s	think you ever really want to be greedy
17482s	because pirouette exists right
17484s	yeah that's what I'm saying like if you
17485s	go greedy it's it's uh it's yours said
17490s	it's very risky just because there's so
17492s	many cars there's a number of cards here
17493s	that can punish you for that there's the
17495s	random generated spell
17496s	um from the fury there's obviously
17498s	pirouettes that can just stun the Samira
17501s	here
17502s	yeah you'll definitely open here
17506s	and you rally next turn the problem with
17507s	Samira
17511s	he's thinking about it
17514s	yeah I like that he goes for open attack
17517s	he push three damage it's okay it's not
17520s	fantastic you get to save a potential
17522s	plunder trigger if you need to
17524s	um not bad not great but not bad
17530s	I don't think they're in fair enough uh
17532s	in the camillary deck so there is no
17534s	point saving it for the future like
17535s	potential internet up there yeah
17541s	possible monkeys which might want to
17545s	preserve the
17547s	elegantage
17549s	yeah I checked the NFL uses list there's
17551s	no Infernus on NFL either it's the
17553s	jagged past Master version
17556s	um it's going very aggressive
17563s	do we get a rally how close
17569s	the rally rules have been fantastic here
17571s	because you get to trade away a little
17573s	bit more oh is fantastic yeah
17577s	I mean I know trust me I as a fellow
17579s	Scouts player
17582s	as a former Scout main performance
17586s	campaign nowadays
17589s	attacking is the best way to win
17592s	oh this game like unless there is some
17595s	gutier top decks on anopheles side I
17598s	don't see how is he how much damage is
17600s	an affiliate swinging for here so yeah
17603s	it's not enough you can you can stylish
17605s	shots
17606s	uh all out for five dollar shot six and
17611s	the second stylish shot I mean yeah
17615s	and we've already seen them both play
17616s	one so
17618s	great kill for the actual attack I don't
17621s	think you can afford using gilk here
17625s	the only question out of this has if he
17627s	attacks with the full board or not
17631s	I don't mind this because you know
17633s	they're most likely gonna rally right
17634s	the problem is if you're full swing you
17637s	lose two monkeys
17646s	you know they have the board you don't
17648s	know if they have monkeys
17651s	it's just a matter of knowledge right
17653s	you know what cards they have and don't
17654s	have you know you've seen yeah
17662s	oh I don't like this
17665s	that's a sassy play this is extremely
17669s	questionable because it gets punished by
17671s	another rollout
17673s	I mean I I get why he wants to do that
17676s	but
17678s	he like I think he's putting the monkey
17681s	uh into his head too much
17685s	like
17687s	he knows there is one card generator
17689s	that wasn't played so maybe he's playing
17690s	that jettison or snap job
17693s	yeah I mean they do they're always one
17695s	top deck then one off from dying on
17697s	monkeys anyway right
17699s	um they're gonna be on seven I think
17702s	you're slum all out here so you can set
17704s	up Mike little if you top black monkey
17709s	is a choice right I think they just have
17711s	to go for it I mean technically you
17718s	hit game it should be six already so he
17720s	has little annoy feet objects monkeys so
17722s	he could technically keep the all out
17726s	we've seen at least four or five
17727s	Thunders and when we started watching
17730s	this could be S6 yeah because you have
17733s	little but you have stylish shot in the
17735s	hand so and if he's dies or yeah he dies
17738s	as well
17742s	so Fizz dies does generate the another
17744s	blocker here and the thing is we've
17747s	allowed like if you don't draw monkeys
17749s	when you have little with the oh I do
17752s	hate this oh you don't need this you
17754s	need to win the game
17756s	oh I don't like playing this now I think
17758s	you keep this for the yeah because the
17760s	camera you can
17763s	this camera even want to remove it now
17765s	or wait a turn oh no he'll just Camilla
17768s	will just attack twice later in the next
17770s	turn yeah and he'll remove both
17774s	but there is a stun oh oh well that's a
17778s	bit unfortunate because wait there is
17780s	Swindle hold up
17783s	hold up
17785s	and because camillari left the full
17787s	board
17788s	I mean anaphylius filled up his board
17790s	yes one off
17794s	camera an offense is one off because
17796s	they developed a unit
17805s	that's just it right then why not can't
17807s	think
17808s	because he counter monkeys now he can
17811s	stun Samira he's what is they just went
17813s	off it's mirror gets to attack again
17815s	afterwards I mean yeah you have the
17817s	monkeys they attack you can't even you
17820s	have to stance the mirror afterwards
17826s	you you do six damage and NFL is gonna
17829s	yeah
17831s	I finished those block hold on if you
17834s	stunt Samira now
17836s	I mean I think it's just a stalemate and
17838s	it goes to the next turn there's a wait
17840s	there's a chance kind of kamillari just
17842s	does their own pirouette beforehand
17844s	right you remove two no you're just
17846s	attacked twice this turn
17850s	you should remove two monkeys don't you
17855s	no you just win
17859s	not because you lose to another monkeys
17862s	you've seen only three cards in the hand
17864s	you don't see all oh you know now you
17866s	know because you've seen all out
17869s	yeah you've seen the hand with the
17870s	Swindle right yeah yeah but he didn't
17873s	see one card he's in only three cards
17875s	but he's seen all out so he knows he
17877s	doesn't have another monkeys and they
17880s	know that the the stun is generated
17881s	spell right so you should be fine
17890s	yeah so a camera you should have
17892s	here
17895s	so he doesn't know
17908s	you have to block with the two one
17910s	there's still four attacking that's
17913s	that's a good play because now like you
17915s	can utilize the stun that's a very good
17917s	play
17918s	that's why you don't stand before there
17924s	see it's done now you know the full hand
17927s	of camillards you can now
17930s	um one damage plus stun it's over it's
17933s	little
17938s	the all-out has to come down here to to
17942s	have another blocker and that's still
17944s	gonna be it
17954s	how did you see that with one off I
17957s	think I don't get it how is this one off
17958s	ever
17961s	I wasn't playing around the stunt
17963s	um
17964s	no also one of foreign
17968s	she needed to lose fees to have a little
17971s	yeah that's why I said he was he was uh
17973s	he needed the unit to die
17976s	the term before
17979s	yeah GG
17984s	and we have our second Grand finalist
17988s	here at the place is it
17993s	I thought the screen was showing the
17994s	other videos was uh one zero maybe I
17997s	maybe I tricked
17999s	maybe he did but we'll find out yeah
18001s	it's one one okay it is one one oh it
18003s	didn't trip there you go okay I mean
18006s	it's like it just shows how quick these
18008s	matches have been going right uh the
18010s	first best of three we played was three
18012s	round three matches finished super
18014s	quickly and we're only just now reaching
18015s	game three in the other zombies
18017s	yeah
18019s	I mean the fact that you topped the
18021s	wincon at the opponent takes takes the
18023s	swing code for himself is pretty bad as
18026s	well
18026s	Sweden is a cool card
18028s	and the name fits you just Swindle out
18030s	the dope on it
18032s	I mean it's one of those cards that
18035s	historically you either love it or you
18037s	absolutely hate it what do you mean hate
18040s	it hello well if you're playing the
18042s	mirror right it's it's one of those
18043s	cards that can when you're what you got
18046s	a sort of you maybe you haven't drawn
18048s	your own pounder yet like what we saw
18049s	there you have a poor quality hand so
18051s	window can help you get the cards you
18053s	need in the mirror yeah
18057s	not if you're the opponent
18059s	so what do you mean they just spent no
18061s	no you just spent one or two Mana to
18064s	draw a card you're set to super happy
18065s	with your opponent no opponents spent
18067s	Mana to only draw a card without any
18069s	effect
18070s	hey what commonly happens is that card
18073s	they get usually win okay
18076s	anyway
18079s	all right looking at the hand
18082s	that's out of combat tricks
18084s	oh let's see if he oh the Classic Fish
18087s	bit with warning shot
18091s	yeah this is the this always happens and
18094s	the problem is you can bait this even
18095s	without winning shot uh I think the
18097s	great players usually to go for it
18100s	um purely because they you they have to
18103s	they use a warning shot which means
18104s	there's one less activated for other
18105s	cards in the next turn I'm pretty sure
18108s	oh this is on you only use the group
18111s	shot here if uh
18114s	if they don't have attack token
18117s	and they developed fees on turn one it's
18120s	us
18122s	like there is no shot
18124s	that they don't have a warning shot in
18127s	this spot if they develop fees that's
18129s	it's so incremental in this matchup on
18132s	turn one
18133s	like it only makes sense that it's a
18136s	warning shot because they didn't have
18138s	attack token why would he develop it on
18140s	the 101 to have yeah father Fury but
18142s	again it's not worth the risk you would
18144s	like you would only do that if you have
18147s	the warning shot in the hand so it's
18148s	just a bait that's so obvious
18153s	when you say that some players will
18154s	still play this will still play the face
18156s	right that's the thing while it might be
18158s	obviously
18160s	like that even in tournament Players
18163s	will know because if you know your
18164s	opponent
18165s	um is someone let's say you for example
18168s	you can just play it right because you
18170s	know Alan's never gonna fall for it even
18173s	though you don't have the warning shot
18175s	I mean but what's the upside of like you
18178s	have to think about it what's the upside
18179s	of playing turn one face when you don't
18181s	have attacked
18183s	you just don't do it
18186s	I mean there might not be any but again
18187s	you're assuming in like the optimal
18190s	optimal strategy right the the advantage
18194s	obviously of playing citizen that time
18195s	is you open swing on the next turn get
18197s	to save a plunger trigger right
18201s	I mean the deck is full packed with the
18204s	planter it's not like the deck doesn't
18205s	have struggle having plunder triggers
18208s	it's more about throwing plunder cards
18210s	so you could like event activators
18215s	again this is not ideal final failures
18218s	um anaphylase
18219s	how the pandemonium is fantastic but
18221s	there isn't many uh plunder cards out
18223s	pure wet hair camillary has to sort of
18226s	utilize this neck now this time here um
18232s	basically build as big of a board as
18234s	possible
18237s	interesting handful I mean from the hand
18239s	of feeling it's like that's there's
18240s	nothing going on for him
18244s	he has to slow play this game but he
18246s	already pushed decent amount of damage
18248s	with this like this game it might look
18250s	like a bad hand but it's actually a good
18252s	hand he can push a lot of damage
18254s	especially this piece is representing
18256s	six on next swing
18258s	that's just a power fist though right
18260s	Fizz is just like one of the most uh
18263s	strongest sort of elusive units elusive
18265s	to absolutely so good look at what he
18268s	can do he can start off party on two one
18270s	see what happens uh he if he other he
18273s	takes he can take the five to six damage
18275s	if he opens open attack you are super
18276s	happy and when you just develop you have
18279s	to assume they're gonna develop here uh
18281s	then what you do you play pirouette on
18284s	Nexus install whatever you need unless
18286s	it's like the Teemo that you want to
18288s	remove
18289s	and when you develop the plunder and
18291s	next turn you open with the focus shot
18294s	with the stylish shot you attack with
18296s	two units open blocks the other unit and
18298s	you use this spell and you attack again
18299s	with another stylish shot
18302s	this is like this is such a tricky and
18304s	each Checkmate because it's literally
18305s	from the monument turning seven
18308s	look this is literally over
18311s	I mean it might isn't it just over
18312s	potentially next turn how close are they
18314s	just from the next time no
18317s	I don't think so but he didn't have
18318s	enough thought if he had only three
18320s	triggers we will be playing this now
18324s	and I'm pretty sure like you'd rather
18326s	commit fees there and uh you can even
18328s	rally with fizz next turn yeah that's
18331s	what I am saying that you should be
18332s	running next turn
18335s	but again if the an affiliate Swings
18337s	with three two it'll be sassy but he
18339s	can't take the damage possibly Camilla
18340s	so he has to block even if you suss out
18342s	the there's another fees you cannot
18345s	possibly
18346s	uh skip the block on three two I mean
18350s	it's in their punish obviously of
18352s	removing the unit from like a ping combo
18354s	with price fights
18356s	yeah I mean like there's it's fine it
18358s	happens
18362s	already right so
18366s	um you know there's the slow spells I
18368s	mean you can oh you can take you can
18370s	understand some information yeah
18372s	this could be little with actually now
18374s	with this window top deck it might be
18376s	monkeys turn because now you get four
18378s	monkeys
18380s	four monkeys is a big diff because you
18382s	get to opponent has no why not have
18384s	enough action point so develop and get
18386s	rid of your unit
18388s	I mean you should I think I think you
18389s	keep this window for the to protect fish
18393s	from dying and use are you swing with
18397s	everything and if any oh he goes for
18399s	monkeys okay is this four monkeys
18401s	already
18402s	I mean we're about to find out so
18405s	oh sure it's free
18408s	maybe he wants to keep Swindle to
18410s	protect his oh it's far yeah which is
18413s	fine okay you don't necessarily need
18414s	this window yeah and this way you get to
18416s	keep Fizz alive should you need to oh
18419s	the Teemo blocker is a bit unfortunate
18423s	I mean it's fine you're still swing like
18425s	that email you just dies to the fees
18428s	anyway
18430s	um you pull the face and blockers so you
18432s	get to swing for another three here
18436s	yeah yeah for sure
18439s	and that's you can block Teemo so Teemo
18443s	you can block three you're taking uh
18446s	you're dead
18449s	and you know you can take another damage
18451s	from the opponent because they have the
18453s	the spell the ghost face yep they get a
18456s	slightest shot back in hand which is
18457s	unfortunate
18459s	so that is
18461s	wow it's over what what uh theories here
18464s	we've had today everyone and affilios is
18468s	gonna be
18469s	ah second finalist here up against
18473s	tilted
18474s	an Underdog Story that we've of a player
18478s	I don't see either we just don't know
18479s	about the player like it might be just a
18481s	player on the different account that is
18483s	pretty good at the game it might be just
18485s	a good player from other game that he
18487s	plays Frontera on the on the tournaments
18489s	and he doesn't play ladder at all and
18491s	he's just a good player we don't know if
18493s	it's Underdog but uh like we're just
18495s	unaware of the player but he looks so
18497s	far pretty strong in terms of lines that
18499s	he's taking
18500s	I mean that's the beauty of opens though
18502s	right uh so with with the
18505s	immune system even then the old you
18507s	don't necessarily need to be in uh
18509s	Masters rank to even compete and we
18511s	completely see players like I know
18512s	fairies all making it all the way to the
18514s	Grand finals
18517s	and that's gonna be a wrap
18520s	yeah fantastic fantastic series here
18523s	um from both of these players and we're
18525s	just gonna go through the motions see
18527s	this stylish shot before we set up and
18531s	get ready okay it's a priority like I'm
18533s	Larry yes called incomposite
18537s	right there
18538s	fantastic match though it's gonna be our
18541s	second Grand finalist here
18543s	for the first ever the world's Open
18546s	qualifier and gonna secure themselves a
18549s	nice Hefty amount of money and run
18551s	Terrapins and q1 like based off the the
18554s	turn one bait like without debate the
18557s	game would be Infinity harder if he
18558s	didn't make opponent waste card for the
18560s	fees and Mana for absolutely no reason
18562s	if you just kept the card then Mana if
18564s	you would be looking so much healthier
18566s	into this match
18567s	it's just like having group shots in
18569s	this match is such a much such a big
18571s	difference because it deals too uh after
18574s	like digital turn two turn four turn
18576s	three
18577s	so
18578s	yeah well played bait sometimes works
18581s	and it just rewards you for the good
18583s	play yeah and NFL is up against tilty as
18585s	we can see in our bracket we've been
18586s	watching the a lot of these players
18588s	throughout the day tilted has been
18589s	playing phenomenally and the Phillies
18591s	similarly he's been playing fantastic
18592s	taking out some incredibly strong
18594s	opponents on the way here for our first
18597s	ever Grand finals
18599s	we're going to be hopping to a short
18600s	break and when we're back it will be the
18603s	grand finals

19092s	and we are back everybody from our break
19097s	and what a fantastic semi-finals we just
19101s	experienced it was electrifying we saw
19104s	some fantastic open plays we saw Alan
19108s	losing his absolute call on this match
19111s	that we take on your screen here oh that
19113s	was a cool game well Roadmaster got such
19115s	an insane fantastic uh opening start
19118s	there but unfortunately wasn't able to
19119s	capitalize on that 1-0 Victory uh We've
19122s	tilted eventually coming back in to
19125s	finish it to one on top of that we also
19127s	had the camillary versus edofelles which
19130s	was a fantastic match here going two and
19133s	one against uh camillari what a series
19137s	I mean yeah the I mean I yeah I lost it
19140s	at the game one I was I was shocked uh
19144s	having that kind of opener is just
19146s	illegal but then tilt it really
19149s	swing back like it was pretty impressive
19152s	series by tilt it like he played it very
19154s	very cleanly in the first one and then
19157s	going to Annie Feliz oh I'm butchering
19159s	that so badly but it's fine it's fine he
19161s	won't mind I know philis surely it's
19164s	fine now into camillary and we've seen
19166s	pretty like even what the series were
19168s	pretty sure the place were quite good
19171s	and uh yeah just like a little mirror a
19174s	little monkeys here and there uh coming
19176s	in for pink one pink one and here and
19179s	there and then we had the anopedics
19184s	closing up the series with uh
19189s	going up against the trees deck just
19192s	clutching it up with the fees yeah that
19195s	fizz putting in so much work in that
19198s	third and final match-up it was
19200s	fantastic and
19202s	can't wait to see how our finals will
19204s	Shape Up
19205s	such fantastic matches overall it's been
19208s	it's been a pleasure it's been a
19210s	pleasure to cast with the island and
19211s	this is our how weak the Journey of how
19213s	we got here we saw Eric felios making
19216s	his way through time and time again tons
19219s	of very strong players knocking out
19220s	salty Simon kamillari and now is up
19222s	against tilted and tilted on the same
19224s	similar boat going knocking out Badger
19226s	knocking at Robo Master making their way
19228s	all the way here to our grand finals for
19231s	the first ever World Open qualifier here
19233s	for Legends of router I cannot unhear
19235s	whether you say Badger I like I'm
19238s	hearing Batman he's Bachelor
19242s	bro
19243s	like a few of them might be jacked but
19245s	he ain't knocking off a bench bear like
19248s	it's a Boris it's a homie he can't be
19250s	knocked off
19253s	and then we're going to be hopping into
19254s	the deck list here for the final time of
19256s	today for emea and Anna felis as we can
19260s	see here has got that Quinn aatrox uh
19263s	vein has also brought that Echo Jinx and
19265s	the Fizz Samira for their third and
19267s	final list I think he has very good
19269s	lineup to go into the twist matchups and
19273s	like clearly you can see those decks
19275s	because Queen again Queen uh has that
19278s	veiner has that issue into the champion
19280s	strength but it's the unpopular one and
19282s	also you can have Hyrule openers we can
19284s	you can deal with that and we've seen
19286s	before the series were very close for
19289s	the I believe white raw where he almost
19291s	came back into the game after Champion
19293s	strength and we have the like this
19295s	Samurai is obviously decent because of
19297s	the nature of the twist decks being just
19300s	too slow and you get to kill them and uh
19303s	the butcher the elegant Edge just being
19304s	amazing across the whole day into all
19307s	those trees the units that are just
19309s	inefficient in blocking there and Echo
19311s	Jinx is just being such a Powerhouse
19313s	that was usually banned and whenever it
19315s	wasn't bad it completely ran down
19318s	through the opponents and they couldn't
19320s	do anything it's just it's just
19321s	stampeded them
19323s	yeah overall pretty standard lists
19325s	across both all across all these lists
19327s	here from Anna Phillies just been
19329s	playing clingy uh not making too many
19331s	mistakes and uh and playing
19333s	fantastically overall uh We've also seen
19336s	tilted if I remember correctly here uh
19337s	tilted had brought a very similar sort
19339s	of brought the standard best three decks
19341s	sort of thing as we can see here a very
19344s	similar sort of vein to uh anaphylis
19346s	except for the third deck here being the
19348s	bandel Tristana I think on the Phillies
19352s	uh has a pretty good match up here
19355s	because all he has like he just buys
19356s	Echo Jinks and when his veiner Queen
19358s	he's got into both the both of these
19360s	decks and okay yeah it's good into both
19363s	because it's a build water version and
19365s	when you have fista Mira which is good
19367s	into obviously it's a mirror and then we
19370s	have the twist so the twist should be a
19372s	weak point for the Tilted and that
19374s	should be here the end of this victim
19377s	yeah that is what we're expecting
19379s	however as we know that might not be the
19382s	case these players are going to be using
19384s	everything at their disposal to try win
19387s	this Grand finals and secure themselves
19389s	a place for the one oh we were a winner
19391s	we're pretty accurate with the bounce
19393s	across the day so far and the Peaks uh I
19396s	think not too many mistakes in terms of
19399s	our predictions so who do you put the
19402s	money on on this series well if we go in
19404s	for by judging exactly what you'd
19406s	mentioned on the terms NFL is in theory
19410s	should be favored but
19413s	because it's me and I have to I have to
19415s	back the German community I'm going for
19417s	tilted
19419s	I mean definitely if an ophelis is just
19421s	like a tournament player and he just
19423s	comes in uh win bunch of money and peace
19426s	out and tilted by have more experience
19428s	in just pure and match-up wise and
19431s	that's where he could catch up a bit uh
19434s	but again we cannot uh discredit an
19437s	office because just because we don't
19438s	know him and so far he put up a solid
19441s	fight that yeah uh we'll see what he has
19444s	from the finals cooked up for us yeah I
19446s	mean I've been saying it time by time
19447s	again it opens this is the beauty of it
19449s	right you get to see new players come
19452s	through make their statement No make it
19455s	all the way to the Grand finals
19457s	nonetheless and show them look I we are
19460s	here we're here to mean business aiming
19463s	to secure their place in the in the
19464s	world's qualifies and that is what is so
19467s	brilliant about these opens there is
19469s	such a huge gap between top one top two
19471s	oh hey I wouldn't like to put myself
19475s	into some of those players it's uh it's
19477s	definitely a high stakes at this point
19479s	and you're so close you feel the grasp
19482s	already of that spot because like your
19485s	money is nice but having that guaranteed
19487s	spot in the walls or that early and you
19489s	don't have to worry about it in future
19491s	or it's way nicer yeah but even though
19494s	even just coming in second security a
19496s	tremendous number of points right you
19498s	get like uh plenty that you might just
19501s	be able to get enough to get through on
19503s	that season's top pointer owners
19504s	potentially yeah but when you have to
19506s	put effort to get there and now
19508s	otherwise if you just win here yeah I'm
19510s	chilling I I'll see you guys in seven
19512s	months
19514s	later on
19516s	so go back into the pick and bansy
19518s	obviously
19519s	um we we're both expecting the echo Jinx
19522s	to be removed yeah
19525s	uh no neither side particularly wants to
19529s	deal with it
19530s	um but is there a cons we know that
19533s	that's most likely what's going to be
19535s	the case but is there any consideration
19536s	to Banning one of the other lists for
19539s	maybe a tech Choice within the lists I
19542s	mean there was not much of a tech
19543s	choices from the idol of the decks and
19545s	it's just I think it's a very
19547s	straightforward uh it's like the classic
19549s	lineups people just brought that are
19552s	they were confident on I think like any
19555s	in terms of spice lineups what you could
19557s	bring is uh that lineup that the
19559s	counters technique your boundaries and
19561s	you try to counter Echo Jinx and Samira
19564s	fish with some sort of PNC lineup and a
19567s	side lineup uh in terms of like a Karma
19571s	Set uh said Samira as a set not the
19576s	cellophane yeah the sort of the Ionia
19581s	deck and one more probably maybe Heimer
19584s	Jace but then that's not the strongest
19587s	into the other meta decks so
19593s	we'll see how it like that the most
19595s	consistent tags uh just showed up to be
19598s	the best so for the players in the top
19600s	cut not the counter lineups which some
19602s	players brought
19604s	yeah I mean one deck I was probably out
19607s	of this entire lineup was the vein
19610s	aatrox uh Quinn uh surprised me to be
19613s	performing so well for nflies
19615s	um it's been doing fantastic this film
19616s	it's a strong deck but considering the
19618s	field of what we've been seeing
19620s	throughout the day it's definitely been
19621s	sort of like the surprise factor of
19624s	doing so well
19626s	I mean so for a lot of people it's just
19628s	a comfort Pig like they used to play the
19629s	decks a lot and they're like the deck is
19631s	still doing well it does still has some
19634s	good matchups so like yeah why not bring
19635s	it like I know the deck I know how to
19637s	play the matchups I'll just bring the
19639s	deck I feel like I'm there is this new
19641s	cool kid in the school called Tristana
19643s	and bills
19646s	I'm not touching any of those I'm
19648s	bringing my old good vein eight rocks
19651s	baby
19653s	I mean yeah Comfort is a very important
19657s	crucial component to bring him decks to
19659s	tournaments a lot of players uh will
19662s	Overlook that sometimes
19664s	um and end up being a little bit
19665s	punished when they aren't on something
19667s	they're comfortable with because things
19669s	like nerves can impact your decision
19670s	making
19672s	um the stress you know there's a lot of
19674s	things and being on a comfortable pick
19675s	means you're less likely just to make
19677s	mistakes you play and just and in
19679s	general card games in general about
19681s	trying to minimize the amount of
19682s	mistakes you make and the most
19683s	consistency is usually in the long term
19686s	gonna be the what pans out for you
19688s	and the most important is usually just
19690s	playing to win like a lot of people do
19693s	make a play but they don't recognize
19695s	that they have to win somehow afterwards
19697s	it's not about sometimes surviving a
19699s	turn it's also about winning the third
19701s	afterwards because if you put into
19703s	possible position where yeah you survive
19705s	another turn but then how do how the
19707s	hell do I win this is where it gets
19709s	awkward and this is where you get the
19711s	most percentage extra out of from
19716s	yeah I completely agree and that also
19719s	factors into that consistency right so
19721s	if you're playing consistently you can
19722s	you're gonna recognize more often than
19724s	not those turns where you do switch to
19727s	going for the win when you do switch you
19729s	change your good man okay I need to win
19730s	here how do I win how do I instead of
19732s	playing how do I not lose and we've been
19734s	seeing that for more than these players
19735s	they've been uh playing fantastically
19737s	showing us exactly how these decks
19739s	should be played
19740s	um fighting it back and forth throughout
19742s	countless countless struggles here uh to
19746s	get us here in our grand finals what if
19749s	tilted fooled everyone if he wasn't he
19750s	was in fact not only playing for a whole
19752s	year but he locked himself into practice
19755s	jumper and he's just was just drumming
19757s	games for all year now just to come back
19759s	and claim the title for the first world
19762s	qualifier in the meama he was just in
19764s	the Time Chamber he just came back
19766s	stronger than ever
19769s	yeah he's just he's been leveling
19770s	himself up in secret yeah and now he's
19773s	about here to pop off
19776s	and showing us exactly why he's such a
19778s	fantastic player
19780s	which deck do you like the most from
19782s	those uh on the screen I mean I've been
19785s	I've been pretty much playing nearly
19786s	everything on this list uh from both
19789s	these plays probably the Decker played
19790s	at least recently it's probably the way
19793s	nitrox Twitter played a lot of that when
19794s	it was at sort of its prime
19796s	um I would say my favorite deck to play
19799s	um probably the echo drinks just because
19803s	um I being able to sort of plan your
19805s	turns ahead has been fantastic that
19807s	using those utilizing the predicts it's
19809s	a lot of choices uh in terms of uh
19812s	decision making and every turn because
19814s	you have to make a key predict decisions
19817s	every single turn to try find your your
19820s	cards on those key turns right so you
19823s	want your Echo one four you want more
19825s	predicts on turns one to three sort of
19827s	thing to set up that Echo level up on
19829s	four it's it's a fun game
19831s	um play style that other decks don't
19833s	necessarily have
19837s	the second she got a weaker you follow
19841s	the meta the classic metaphor talk just
19844s	oh this deck is so interesting it has a
19846s	predict here there's some of the
19848s	decisions yeah play Brave Echo play
19851s	voice go face Chrono break yeah much
19854s	decisions
19855s	I I was gonna say I also played a little
19857s	bit Samira too oh
19859s	you're priced I
19863s	started it
19866s	was not Echo Jinx maybe something right
19869s	there and it's literally just those
19871s	three and comments and comma set too
19873s	when it looks good oh
19876s	all right we see the balance from the
19877s	both players we have Echo jinxban and
19879s	surprisingly Echo jinxban no one
19882s	expected this
19884s	I mean yeah we we spoke about it is just
19887s	the safest ban on both sides
19889s	um for both players and what it's going
19892s	to be now is looking to see what decks
19894s	both of these players decide to queue up
19896s	with first
19897s	listen would you ex if I told you eight
19899s	months ago that Echo will be the most
19901s	bad deck in the tournament would you
19903s	believe me no not even a little bro this
19905s	was the meme of the memes it was
19908s	unplayable absolutely garbage deer like
19911s	I know and that's that's the beauty of
19913s	rotation right oh wait wait okay the
19917s	beauty of rotation right it allows
19919s	potentially his old archetypes the scene
19920s	you'd like
19922s	uh we get to see uh Decks that maybe
19925s	were weaker get get to be in the
19928s	spotlight because we saw them were
19930s	changed no no you can just change his
19932s	mind he buttons
19936s	I'm changing my mind is fine and we see
19940s	the NFL Jinx coming out here from nflies
19943s	yeah and we see
19946s	the orkish opener with double elusive
19948s	spawning a bunch of all cards and having
19951s	the removal and thank you for having a
19953s	good two three stunner so like a deal
19956s	that needs two more units uh the multi
19958s	color to get the Tristana level up
19961s	looks pretty good so now the question is
19964s	can we find Echo can we fight Vixen so
19968s	an Affiliates into a few more combo
19970s	pieces com by combo I mean just like the
19972s	answer pieces to Tilted to stop at this
19975s	hand
19976s	yeah I also don't mind this for many
19978s	felly's uh
19979s	choosing not played the current monster
19981s	here to um
19983s	potentially just go for the scrolling
19985s	sand oh she just developed
19987s	yeah perfect the screen science
19989s	fantastic stops the owl generation uh
19992s	basically that Phillies wants to just
19993s	sort of slow down the match a little bit
19996s	um get to that key turn four and give
20000s	more opportunities I guess to start
20002s	developing this board it's got a
20003s	fantastic open on the next turn should
20004s	they want to go for it too just to put
20006s	it for a push for a little bit of damage
20007s	that looks like a skip I don't think he
20009s	won't like he could pick a one drop
20011s	here potentially to fix the curve and he
20014s	went for the one drop on the finish so
20016s	we could ex but there was a potential
20018s	skip there just try to find a call
20019s	because we have enough predicts it will
20021s	never let up at this point and the hand
20022s	is pretty good on its own and we see
20025s	Tristana development
20027s	yeah this current event is going to come
20028s	down really going to be looking for
20031s	another drop order development I don't
20034s	know if you necessarily go for this Jinx
20035s	it's probably a skip purely because you
20038s	are not getting the Jinx level up
20041s	at any sort of reasonable pace
20044s	oh definitely you're not going for the
20045s	jinster it's always keep you're just
20047s	full swing
20048s	you need board space anyway
20050s	but look at this look at this classic
20052s	situation just double drop order turn
20055s	the turn three and all of them were came
20057s	from the hand
20059s	really really going to be looking for
20061s	that Echo now because you have voices in
20062s	hand
20064s	um needs the option and also the clock
20067s	link here is fantastic allows the block
20069s	oh it's very fantastic yeah it's gonna
20072s	be answered however from tilted side but
20075s	it's a fantastic option here for NFL
20077s	East to potentially find like a Mystic
20080s	find the echo as we've been speaking
20081s	there's a number of fantastic options
20083s	here it finds the Echo and Echo is a
20085s	three cost I don't know if you remove it
20088s	I think you just developed to draw to
20089s	that pass
20091s	like the pro or you attack with just all
20093s	the all of them I definitely don't play
20095s	removal here because it's like you're
20096s	not slamming double removal into that
20098s	and the thing is you have double group
20099s	shots so like those group shots can just
20101s	take it out this turn like it's way more
20103s	efficient to pass there and you have a
20105s	bastard shock so you can stabilize of
20107s	that board the points we have no
20109s	blockers and they're just like those two
20111s	two are smoking you those two damage
20113s	units
20115s	yeah and NFL has to probably destruct
20117s	this Echo is probably going to get
20118s	removed however that is not really a big
20121s	concern in this list you want the voices
20122s	of the Risen activated so you can start
20124s	swinging in for a huge amounts and you
20126s	want those Chrono breaks the key card in
20128s	this matchup where you can try and get
20131s	multiple attacks available to you here
20135s	um I'd love that you can swing with the
20136s	tutus here maybe the two three and maybe
20139s	play another quarter months try find
20141s	that uh Corona break from the following
20143s	turn
20145s	think tilted should consider playing now
20148s	on stack group shot to fish for
20151s	information if there is a Mystic shot
20153s	before attack
20154s	so he knows if he wants to play seconded
20158s	group shot now or like the oh
20161s	is not to play group shot at all this
20163s	turn because like this would allow like
20165s	yeah this gives me better grades but the
20168s	other play would allow him to have an
20169s	open swing with all those one twos and
20172s	develop a generate a bunch of the all
20175s	Cuts yeah so that was the alternative
20177s	Line This is the best part is the NFL
20179s	has got that scrying sense which will
20180s	allow you to keep an additional unit
20182s	alive let's make cookies should they
20184s	choose to which I think they probably
20186s	will go for because I don't think they
20187s	hit anything great on the last predict
20191s	I don't think a block with three Stana
20193s	here that's because those are domestic
20196s	shots like if you block anything you
20198s	drop a block drop border if you are
20200s	tilted maybe he has a read there is no
20202s	mystic shot but
20204s	I don't know about this one block input
20206s	this is like if this three Santa dies
20208s	it is silver oh goes for the Jinx game
20212s	plan instead predicted that Jinx most
20215s	likely on the prior turn which means
20217s	we'll probably get voices this time play
20219s	out all your predicts to guarantee your
20221s	next top and your next drawing I mean
20223s	you just love quicksand now like you
20225s	don't have to do anything here
20228s	I mean yeah you don't have to do
20229s	anything now because the predicts are
20230s	super cheap because setting up for that
20232s	Jinx on the next turn
20234s	yeah I think you just pass if you run
20235s	the Phillies here
20242s	and I mean this is also a
20245s	playing uh predicting
20247s	full swing yeah no no no oh that was a
20250s	full swing he cannot block anything
20252s	could uh
20255s	I mean it depends if they have a Chrono
20258s	brick or not right there's a potential
20259s	they have a current outbreak it doesn't
20261s	do anything but the Chrono break doesn't
20262s	do anything you're not like it doesn't
20264s	do anything on the other sport you're
20265s	fine if they caught a break
20268s	because you just developed you have two
20270s	units to develop afterwards
20272s	that would be very weak Chrono break
20274s	you'll be happy to see it
20276s	and you can use this to stop I guess an
20279s	L being generated
20280s	there's the corona break
20283s	but you don't necessarily want Chrono
20285s	break next turn
20287s	um because you you're not you're gonna
20288s	play Jinx right Jinx is not most likely
20290s	gonna die it's gonna survive
20293s	I I would not block at all if you get
20296s	Chrono break next turn you could just
20300s	yeah yeah you had five attackers
20302s	technically
20304s	okay I guess he's just leaving the board
20306s	for the
20308s	so foxes is very useless now
20311s	but again those units are just dying to
20314s	the at this point of the Miss to the
20316s	Jinx
20318s	yeah it's gonna be Jinx Rockets to try
20321s	and close out this game for nflies
20323s	there's the corona break we'll have to
20325s	play that to develop to level up jinx
20328s	um and most likely just go for a full
20330s	swing here hope for this voice is to die
20332s	so you can at least get to generate some
20333s	value
20340s	yeah but I'm saying from the theater
20342s	perspective I don't like this play
20345s	because
20350s	you can
20352s	I guess you can dump it you can block
20353s	voices here not not remove it so you
20356s	block it with just one of your elusives
20358s	here it doesn't matter yeah you block it
20361s	with the one one for sure
20362s	because you you know if they have a
20365s	Chrono that it's gonna be lift any away
20367s	from a jinx
20368s	because I don't think you play all cut
20370s	you just pass
20372s	yeah there's no need to
20374s	um you are basically I mean right now
20377s	interface is full information right
20378s	because there's no hands uh on either
20380s	player's side
20382s	um
20384s	oh that's a quick scent quick sense
20386s	great
20387s	um keeps you alive on the next attack I
20389s	think it is most likely quicksand
20393s	I don't know how to agree Deco here
20396s	you are drawing two parts like
20399s	quick sense the way you survive right
20401s	and you're gonna win just in general
20403s	from all these Rockets every turn
20407s	and you just need to play around the one
20409s	your biggest problem which is this
20411s	tristano and you end up getting a
20412s	perfect solution for that
20416s	so tilted probably wants to hear the
20420s	and this has to be blocked too this is
20422s	so good for nflies yeah yeah it's fine
20424s	you just blocked uh with a grandfather
20428s	oh wow
20429s	wait
20432s	okay
20437s	not sure why this way can we get
20439s	overwhelmed
20442s	because overwhelmed does you can't quick
20444s	send the overwhelmed
20449s	on the fist
20452s	I mean everyone wasn't an option anyway
20454s	so that's
20455s	that's a bit unfortunate
20456s	yeah
20466s	if you pick a quick attack there then
20468s	even if you use a squeak someone she
20471s	still has quick attack from the weapon
20473s	but again there is a Mystic shorter than
20474s	a threat so it's like you have to choose
20476s	what you play
20480s	it depends what how many copies we've
20481s	seen in the beach right
20483s	um but then the downside is obviously
20485s	the predicts make it very difficult
20486s	because it gives NFL is much more
20489s	um control over the draws than normal so
20492s	as we can see here we're gonna see this
20494s	quicksand come down remove the impact
20497s	and quick attack I mean just a question
20499s	for block of jinx here I think it says
20502s	okay you know the four hands I think
20504s	it's fine I mean the only question is
20507s	yeah I like this one so you don't let
20510s	them have the
20512s	you don't let them have a normal card
20516s	s you remove the entire board you get
20519s	you have opener
20522s	yes looks like a rub yeah I know Felix
20526s	playing fantastically
20531s	yep there is a surrender game number one
20534s	here going to enter palace with this
20535s	Echo Jinx and that is that is why you
20538s	ban it Alan that is why you bang it I
20541s	mean yep I mean that was not that big of
20543s	a high roll but
20545s	but just just reasonable game yeah
20548s	nothing too crazy the only line I didn't
20550s	like is it was just tilted killing uh
20552s	Jinx before she levels up I know what he
20554s	did it's a line he just said not to play
20557s	around the cards that's okay and he just
20560s	assumed that if there is a Chrono break
20561s	I guess I lose and it's okay
20568s	yeah exactly
20572s	oh boy oh boy this is uh this is this is
20575s	exactly what you've been complaining
20576s	about all day
20578s	I mean like it's she's normal it's okay
20581s	it's normal yet
20584s	there's no units on tilted side oh he's
20587s	there oh he's dead
20590s	oh boy this is uh this might be a very
20593s	very quick game to hear from nflies and
20596s	we might just be crowning our first open
20598s	Champion here
20599s	this is an absolute insane opening here
20603s	right if that would be there to be fair
20605s	not the first
20609s	the world champion
20614s	yeah I mean the game looks so doomed for
20617s	him like yeah you go for the first time
20619s	and you just full swing and like it's
20621s	like yes it can't have any blocks it's
20623s	just yeah it's such a powerful turn
20624s	against the bundle
20627s	seven damage done done two with a powder
20630s	pandemonium up on the next um
20633s	defensive or next attack as well so next
20636s	turn you play so this time's gonna be a
20637s	Samira into uh
20640s	in the past probably and the next turn
20642s	you just swing
20645s	oh boy this is fantastic
20648s	I mean not if you're tilted
20651s	I mean if you're tilted you just your
20654s	eyes drawing playable stuff which is
20655s	fantastic to try and stabilize
20658s	um You probably have to kind of attack
20660s	with the owl here
20664s	you're really worried about I guess
20665s	powder pandemonium
20669s	no you're you're worried that you're
20671s	dying in two turns like even without
20673s	pandemonium
20675s	oh that's a very good hand
20679s	oh stylish shot
20682s	into butter first to find a little soft
20685s	pass
20690s	now you have a stand oh that's looking
20693s	pretty good yeah you can stand here on
20695s	the barrier
20697s	deal with an extra damage to the Nexus
20699s	yep
20701s	look at the hand first why not
20703s	oh my thoughts another one damage to the
20706s	face
20708s	um you can after the second part yeah no
20710s	no what you can do is you can pop the
20712s	spell shield here off the clock thing
20714s	nah you go face
20716s	isn't it isn't it like one more damage
20720s	because you use Challenger this turn on
20722s	the spreadsheet
20724s	do you even care just why do I push the
20726s	extra damage right
20728s	I mean you deal this way more damage
20732s	if you pull free one opponent has no
20734s	Fierce and blocker and he has to trade
20736s	his good units inefficiently with butter
20739s	it's just over like
20746s	yeah he had to kill this and now without
20750s	bastard shot like he couldn't deal with
20752s	the board now he can trade and I'm
20756s	pretty sure you're not pulling anything
20758s	and you just uh at the swing Queen with
20761s	everything you trade free to with it all
20762s	and like you call you trade your whole
20764s	board
20767s	it's looking very very tough okay so he
20770s	decides to push free damage I don't hate
20772s	this because it puts him in the little
20774s	range
20776s	it depends but we know powder
20778s	pandemoniums uh
20781s	four or five somewhere around there
20783s	one two three four four you have in hand
20788s	one two six damage it's he's dead it's
20792s	little
20793s	yeah it's just spread out over a few
20795s	turns so the only option tilted has is
20796s	to try and win as soon as possible
20800s	yeah until this not winning this turn
20802s	most likely I think it's gonna be really
20804s	tough uh
20807s	that's one two five Mana
20814s	one two five
20817s	this yeah it's little all he needs to do
20820s	is he's replaced pythons on a random
20822s	stuff he can even ping his own unit if
20825s	he wants
20826s	go face play the monkey and just trade
20830s	the board
20831s	you can play stylish shot plus monkey
20833s	this time as well to generate another
20835s	damage it's pretty good
20837s	I mean yeah you can do this it doesn't
20839s	really matter but yeah
20845s	and we can see
20847s	tilted coming to that realization that
20851s	this might be an anaphylis might just be
20855s	the first well I think I liked damaging
20859s	the three two more because it indicates
20862s	that he can party this later or
20864s	something or he can use the other one
20866s	and it forces more the attack into you
20869s	and you want to trade you won't like
20871s	opponent to attack you so you can play
20873s	monkeys you have more ball space you
20876s	need five spots on the board so like if
20879s	you want him to attack with both of the
20881s	Nar and 32 so you have a little next
20884s	turn
20896s	losing power losing internet and from
20899s	the breaking phone so he cannot finish
20901s	the game is then on the out that is true
20904s	we don't know what country they're from
20905s	so that is a potential he's visually
20909s	that there is nothing he can do like and
20911s	like I don't know if you see this a kid
20913s	did exactly the line he had to take
20915s	it's a wrap
20919s	wow he just needs to execute properly
20921s	from the free cards he has in hand
20926s	what a quick
20929s	2-0 game here from nflies
20932s	oh look at that that's that's pretty
20934s	good
20935s	you just do this you play both oh you
20937s	can't even play both because of Mana
20940s	oh well you just played it they have to
20942s	she played he played the one that's like
20944s	just to make upon it see the other one
20946s	so he concedes faster look at this Giga
20949s	shot play he's like yeah
20951s	said it
20953s	tilted the second sees the Power
20954s	dependent moment is gonna happen it's
20956s	gonna probably concede and we will have
20959s	crowned off burst world's open Champion
20961s	here with Anna felly's he's been doing
20964s	fantastic we're just gonna go through
20966s	the bloody motions here wait to see this
20968s	powder Panda moment here calm down and
20971s	that is you know see it with the Shen
20973s	emotes are out GG will play from both
20976s	sides and our first name Open winner get
20979s	guaranteeing themselves the plates all
20981s	the way to Worlds taking first place and
20984s	the 5 000 pound prize pool is Anna
20986s	fairly and what a fantastic series of
20988s	matches we've seen throughout the day
20990s	and what a journey that player has had
20992s	throughout the whole tournament to get
20994s	there they had to play against so many
20995s	Fantastic other players and it's been a
20997s	fantastic series here from everyone
20999s	involved everyone played fantastically
21001s	today
21002s	I mean the unknown player takes it all
21005s	like just plays the day one runs it for
21008s	the whole day qualifies day two and just
21010s	beats everyone
21012s	very very well played from what we've
21014s	seen we didn't see much of the games he
21016s	just like every game we've tuned in he
21018s	was just taken down one by one player
21020s	like no regrets
21025s	they saw the lines they saw your lines
21027s	Island they saw everything on how to
21029s	play uh and by listening psychic getting
21033s	Allen's thoughts they they managed to
21035s	play perfectly
21037s	she did the band different oh no wait
21039s	that was tilted Panic difference
