3178s	good morning everybody and welcome to
3181s	what is going to be one of the last mvpl
3185s	broadcasts of the summer season in fact
3188s	after today dunk we only have three more
3192s	days left before we say goodbye to mvpl
3195s	and get on the next road to Jacob I'm
3198s	got Moxy I'm going to be joined by the
3200s	one the only Dunkin Donuts and we have
3203s	the absolute pleasure of for the first
3205s	time this season bringing you all of the
3207s	solos action I am so looking forward to
3210s	this this is the solos prefinal so all
3213s	of these players are going to be playing
3215s	six matches and then once they finish
3217s	those six matches they're going to have
3218s	to wait until next weekend just like you
3221s	before we find out who is going to be
3224s	walking away the nvpl summer solos
3228s	Champion absolutely and uh after after
3232s	the first day of the week I was sad to
3235s	hear that uh quite a few of the of the
3239s	players that we've been supporting did
3241s	not manage to make it in I believe you
3242s	said that Frost ofus and wangang weren't
3244s	able to make it into these pre-finals
3247s	into the the big ones at the end of it
3250s	all very sad to see but it is what it is
3255s	you know it happens sometimes it's just
3258s	not your day but you know what it could
3260s	be your day today ladies and gentlemen
3262s	as you have the opportunity to get your
3264s	hands on some twitch drops as per usual
3268s	so make sure to get your account linked
3270s	to your Twitch account that your Nora
3272s	account linked to your Twitch account go
3274s	to the top right of your screen click on
3276s	your little icon and it will give you a
3277s	drop down menu that says drops and
3279s	rewards you can go to inventory you can
3281s	check and make sure that you've got your
3283s	progression going that it's progressing
3285s	the drops there and then once it's done
3287s	you can claim it from that window as
3290s	well but back to nraa Moxy what do you
3293s	think we're going to be seeing today as
3295s	things have changed with moved over to
3297s	the newer patch much sooner than I
3300s	anticipated I was not expecting us to be
3302s	moving over to this patch this week I
3306s	thought we were going to have a bit of a
3308s	longer longer time between the between
3311s	you know last last week because we had
3314s	we had the old old patch for a couple
3316s	like a few bi-weeks and then we swapped
3319s	to the the newer season patch for one
3321s	by-weekly and now we're on the next
3323s	thing and it's already next patch as
3325s	well it's just happening
3327s	I mean definitely we're going to be
3329s	seeing some big changes in terms of the
3331s	kyin but we will talk about that in a
3334s	minute because we have to talk about the
3335s	players that we're going to be seeing oh
3337s	my goodness we had six players qualify
3340s	from the points they were able to put
3342s	forward in their by weekly finals that
3343s	was T25 spider Mike Rano and Fang as
3347s	well as xan Yuan and then we had the
3350s	last trans qualifiers and like you said
3351s	those last trans qualifiers were
3354s	absolutely heartbreaking not only did we
3357s	not get to see um wangang and frost ofus
3360s	not manag to make it through it also
3362s	came down to the absolute wire if you
3366s	were there on the day you know exactly
3368s	what I'm talking about you know the
3370s	absolute heartbreaking match that was
3372s	game number six where it came down to a
3374s	Justina 1 V one against star and action
3378s	and action was able to MVP but
3380s	unfortunately was not able to pick up
3383s	enough points to OU star's position as
3386s	that and last player to qualify and it
3389s	really was just oh it was so sad because
3392s	they didn't know who was actually going
3394s	to be qualifying until the very very
3397s	last moment in fact we actually got to
3398s	see the moment where star realized that
3400s	even though he hadn't been able to MVP
3402s	he was through and the sigh of relief
3404s	that he gave the S of relief that all of
3406s	those players gave was Monumental that
3409s	being said some players cut it
3411s	incredibly close to the wire and other
3413s	players did not I'm talking of course
3416s	about J L's AIS who walked away with not
3419s	one not two but three MVPs in fact it
3423s	got to the point where Seb one of the
3425s	casters on the desk literally put not
3428s	just his money on the line he put his
3431s	beard and his hair on the line he bet
3434s	that if AIS got a single other MVP after
3438s	picking up those fre backto back if it
3440s	got a fourth he would shave his bait off
3442s	and if he managed to MVP all six he
3444s	would shave his entire head
3447s	all of his hair absolutely gone but for
3450s	those players it was a little bit of a
3452s	breeze in comparison to some of those
3454s	others but they also got the chance to
3457s	experience playing on that patch that
3459s	you've talked about dqu we had the kyin
3460s	Nerf coming through we've had the Hardy
3462s	Nerf coming through and we've seen a
3464s	little bit of a
3466s	Resurgence of the vda in fact we were
3468s	seeing triple volders running around and
3471s	I think that might be a big differential
3473s	point between some of these players in
3475s	terms of scores that they can pick up
3477s	today because some players anticipated
3479s	vda coming back into meta and
3481s	immediately started practicing her and
3483s	then other players even gave interviews
3485s	where they said that they didn't think
3487s	that she was very good and unfortunately
3489s	probably haven't been putting as many
3492s	hours into learning her one of those
3494s	players being actually the one who's
3496s	leading the rest of the pack in fact we
3497s	saw his MVP stance for overall amounts
3500s	of damage done for the entire season as
3502s	a whole T25 he did an interview where he
3505s	said that he didn't think valda was
3507s	going to be good and with the meta going
3509s	the way it has I'm a little bit
3510s	concerned that he might not have put as
3512s	much hours of practice into that hero in
3515s	compared to some of these other players
3517s	very true but as you've made me aware of
3520s	M he has been putting a little bit of
3522s	time Into the Fire Dog so I love to see
3525s	so we might be seeing a little bit of
3527s	tet today and I'm not I'm I'm only a
3530s	little bit capping right now because but
3532s	the thing is it's actually one of those
3534s	times where it's pretty likely that we
3537s	might actually see him as not like the
3540s	as you said the the kylin Nerf coming
3542s	through you know it's kylin was a menace
3545s	not only to everybody in the meta but to
3548s	Taka specifically as well because he was
3551s	he was just like you lose initial
3553s	neutral a little bit you get forced to
3556s	use your alt you're cook mate it's just
3558s	not happening you're not going to be
3559s	able to do anything about it
3561s	unfortunately but uh yeah it's it is
3564s	what it is it or rather it was what it
3567s	was and is no longer the
3569s	case but we're going to be going in
3573s	today and uh waiting to see what they've
3575s	brought out for us as you said valda is
3578s	an extremely uh prominent pick nowadays
3581s	we've been seeing these players pick her
3583s	up playing triple valer that sort of
3585s	thing in these lobbies she's definitely
3589s	become a much bigger pres as uh yeah
3593s	quite frankly I think one of the main
3594s	things that was holding her back was
3595s	just that the Kylie was there you know
3597s	if there were if you you need to replace
3600s	kylin now or at least perhaps one of
3602s	those games with something because kylin
3605s	is not as big of a present as he was
3608s	before so what are you going to replace
3609s	him with replace him with valda perhaps
3611s	because valda offers a very similar um
3615s	very similar utility in end game as
3617s	you're able to win those heal off
3619s	situations effectively if you're able to
3621s	make it to that end game which although
3623s	I think is rather absurd that it's been
3625s	happening it has indeed been happening
3629s	yeah also I didn't really I didn't
3631s	really catch what was I was sort of
3633s	wrapped up in my my my waffling about
3635s	valder and all of that sort of thing
3637s	what was it that we were looking at just
3638s	before Jacob Mainland qualify analysis
3642s	um so that's the points that these
3644s	players have been able to pick up in
3646s	their bi-weeks to be able to qualify
3648s	them into those jcup Mainland qualifiers
3652s	coming for no surprises that Mike is
3654s	going to be leading the charge even he's
3657s	already automatically qualified to Jacob
3658s	because he won the spring
3661s	season I thought you were going to say
3663s	because he won last year but uh well no
3667s	if that was the way that it worked then
3669s	we would have seen a different lineup
3671s	towards Jacob last year especially when
3673s	it came match that is true that is true
3676s	absolutely but we're going to be jumping
3679s	into the game relatively soon Moxy and I
3681s	think we're kicking it off with a
3684s	nighttime perori I believe and it
3688s	definitely will be an interesting one um
3692s	as kylin was actually one of the more
3695s	popular picks on this map you know we've
3697s	talked about it in trios I it's
3699s	definitely been a very popular solo pick
3702s	as kylin does extremely well in those
3704s	endgame situations and those end game
3705s	situations don't necessarily change that
3708s	much obviously they do change somewhat
3710s	because there's far less players in the
3713s	area less potential value for knocking
3716s	people around and sending them flying
3718s	down the hill but it still is a very
3721s	very um handy utility to have in the
3724s	back pocket you know being able to knock
3727s	well the heing guard as well is is one
3730s	of the things like that 4 seconds of
3732s	just total immunity from all damage to
3736s	be able to win those heal off situations
3738s	which is one of the reasons why the
3740s	valda was doing incredibly well the last
3743s	time that we got to see her in play that
3745s	was I think when a lot of these players
3747s	because we hadn't seen valer in the meta
3748s	for a very very long time some of those
3752s	players I never had to deal with valda
3756s	in end games for the Target priority
3757s	listing or it happened so long ago that
3761s	I think some of those base foundations
3763s	of dealing with the valda kind of got a
3766s	little bit left in the dust now that
3767s	that dust has had time to settle I'm
3770s	pretty sure we're going to be seeing a
3772s	lot of these players trying to Hawk the
3773s	valer down a lot faster or not even even
3776s	go for the kill as such but just apply
3779s	as much pressure as possible to force
3780s	the V2 because that's all you have to do
3782s	before the Zone claps Force the ultimate
3784s	you don't have to go out of your way you
3787s	don't have to over aggress and put
3788s	yourself into position where the entire
3790s	Lobby turns on you you just have to make
3793s	sure that the V2 is not going to be
3795s	active as that zone closes so that the
3797s	VA can automatically have that massive
3799s	boost of being able to win that heal off
3802s	situation but we're going to be having a
3803s	look and seeing what these players are
3805s	going to be coming through with we have
3807s	we should note still seen kylin it's not
3811s	like in trios where the kylin Hardy
3813s	zipping composition wasn't picked a
3815s	single time in the trios lcq was not
3818s	seen once but we are still seeing kylin
3821s	uh in solos however these players have
3824s	moved over from the V2 to the V1 which
3827s	wasn't as affected by the nerves coming
3829s	on through Hardy however has also still
3832s	been seeing a massive amount of play
3834s	time in solos given the fact that he was
3837s	mostly nerfed in terms of his triers
3838s	utility a lot of these players were
3840s	already utilizing the V2 over the V1 so
3843s	that Cube not being there as frequently
3847s	when you cancel out of the ultimate
3848s	early and having that punishment of
3851s	having to lose extra rage to be able to
3853s	set that one up is not F anywhere near
3856s	as impactfully as it is in solos as
3859s	we're already going to be seeing the
3861s	double pick of the vda coming through
3863s	T25 is actually going to be going for
3865s	the zip which is something that we've
3866s	seen both Mike and Starfield onto very
3870s	very strong in terms of kite presence
3872s	especially if you don't put yourself
3873s	into a r of Yang if you're worried about
3876s	these players who do have Yang depletion
3877s	trying to hunt you down you do still
3880s	have all of the kite potential that is
3882s	available for the zip plus potentially
3885s	Mike is also going to pick up that zip
3887s	in which
3889s	case well we know how the end games go
3892s	in the current matter yes the uh the the
3895s	sort of family method as it's been
3897s	referred to somewhat in that characters
3900s	that are well if you're playing the same
3902s	characters you do find yourself sticking
3905s	together somewhat as it ends up simply
3908s	being the optimal decision to make you
3911s	know you if you are if you're sticking
3914s	out like a sore thumb in endgame when
3916s	you're on your own and you get focused
3919s	down by certain characters or groups of
3921s	characters as you know if you're if
3924s	you're the old one out you're easy to
3926s	Focus down there's no like hiding hiding
3928s	away in the in a group of characters
3930s	that are all the same can't swap your
3933s	weapon to sort of costume change as it
3935s	were um and I'll go into that a little
3938s	bit more later but it's it it's it's
3941s	definitely the optimal choice although
3943s	it does look a bit Goofy and a bit silly
3945s	how it ends up looking almost as though
3947s	it's Duos as opposed to solos it's it is
3952s	what it is you know it's where this sort
3954s	of uh the solo game mode ends up going
3957s	to some extent in especially in these uh
3961s	with these sort of like rulings and all
3963s	of that sort of thing it becomes very
3964s	hard to stay alive on your own you have
3967s	to oran's on
3969s	V2 wait aran's on Liam we we've got Liam
3974s	V2 sphere V2 interesting interesting
3980s	thingss on the V1 which is what we
3983s	normally see like there was a a bubble
3987s	of time where these Liams went for the
3989s	V2 and then everyone figured out how to
3992s	counter it and everyone went back to the
3995s	V1 so I'm going to be very interested to
3998s	see whether or not that is going to find
4000s	any form of value especially inside the
4002s	ram of Yang like that V2 being able to
4004s	pick those players and deposit them
4006s	outside of those Ram of Yang passes as
4009s	well as going into a r of Yang in a 1 V
4011s	one and getting to find your extension
4013s	follow-ups from that V2 connection is
4015s	going to be really advantageous but that
4019s	is if you're able to land the V2 because
4021s	as we talked about it took about a week
4023s	and then everyone figured out how to get
4025s	away from it and everyone just went
4028s	right back to V1 like the V2 never
4029s	existed in the first place yeah it's it
4033s	so here was the here was the here was
4035s	the thing at the at the very beginning
4036s	when the V2 the sphere ultimate was uh
4040s	was sort of coming into play was coming
4042s	into meta especially in Solo Q we would
4044s	see it a lot more often and I believe
4046s	that the reason why at the very
4048s	beginning we still weren't seeing it in
4050s	nbpl was that in nbpl multi-way fighting
4054s	so you know in mvpl a lot of the time
4056s	you have to make your character choices
4059s	and ability choices around your ability
4062s	to actually fight within a crowd of of
4066s	of players you know it's not always a
4068s	one versus one it's a one V1 V One One V
4071s	One V One V one it just keeps going on
4073s	depending on how many people are in the
4074s	area and one of the reasons why I
4076s	thought that V2 wasn't so popular was
4078s	that V2 didn't perform so well in those
4080s	multi-wave fight situations whereas V1
4084s	did perform that little bit extra it
4086s	gave you that little bit extra where you
4088s	would throw down the aura on the floor
4091s	and it would still have an effect after
4094s	it's been thrown out but if you miss
4095s	that sphere you are done for and
4097s	speaking of being done for it looks as
4099s	though T225 might be done for oh my
4102s	goodness the combo coming out from w
4106s	bang what on Earth was that oh he gets
4110s	the next offut grapple bump extension
4113s	into the RMV H that's the problem with
4117s	zip just lacking a combo break if you
4119s	get juggled up into the like that on
4121s	that terrain there's nothing you can do
4122s	the Fang has utilized his combo break on
4125s	the Liam gets the uppercut connection
4127s	onto fpx ver who does manage to find a
4130s	gray armor reset to swap into as Fang
4133s	swaps on over to that pistol however the
4135s	m
4136s	finds the long sord into great sort of
4139s	weapon swap Bang's going to take
4141s	advantage of that third party to slip
4143s	away and grab that blue armor but now he
4145s	has to deal with jl's AIS coming in for
4147s	the intrusion with that spare has thrown
4150s	in the F1 on that Liam sets in the
4152s	charged R&B with that fan trying to turn
4155s	the pressure onto the other players that
4156s	he can look to scale rush back into
4158s	another armor reset but they're not
4160s	going to be letting him he does come
4162s	through with the ultimate finds the
4163s	connection onto fpx is first but he just
4166s	has to keep himself trying to move out
4167s	of the situation as right now it's just
4170s	a matter of disengaging and allowing ver
4172s	and AIS to turn onto each other
4175s	instead indeed is he going to the
4177s	Firefly Fong you went past it bro where
4181s	are you
4182s	going it always hurts me so much when
4186s	players of this caliber just walk past
4188s	fireflies what are you doing you can
4191s	hurt an extra 50% on your alt but no I I
4195s	understand but still anyway regardless I
4198s	we'll have to we'll have to have to see
4200s	if I mean it's possible it was already
4202s	taken who knows I feel like now from
4204s	dunk make a U-turn when possible you
4207s	have not arrived at your
4210s	destination I mean you need sat up half
4213s	the time to navigate Imperium and that
4215s	is exactly where DG F has tried to
4217s	disengage himself off to so he can break
4219s	the ankles speaking about breaking the
4221s	ankles Wang is on a mission to break
4223s	every single zip in this Lobby he heard
4226s	about the 16 relas zip lobbies with zaap
4228s	the zip campaign and he is making it his
4231s	mission to punish these players these
4234s	Heroes who don't have the combo break in
4236s	these extensions he's making it look so
4238s	clean he is indeed and surprising as
4242s	well as zipping although we talked about
4245s	the fact that she doesn't have that
4246s	combo break available and if she does
4248s	get caught in that combo she can just
4250s	simply fall over keill over and die
4253s	unfortunately for the zipping but the
4256s	the thing when it comes to zipping is
4257s	that they do perform extremely well in
4259s	offs spawn situations but uh oh off oh
4263s	speaking of oawn situation star deciding
4266s	to go for the armor swap instead of
4269s	simply just pressing that V button and
4272s	using the ultimate you know it's uh it's
4275s	certainly a Gamble and it could have
4277s	ended up going his way but unfortunately
4279s	instead of going for that alt he Ops to
4281s	go for that uh for that armor Swap and
4284s	gets heavily punished for it off of that
4286s	scale Rush very nice from uh from that
4289s	player there to be able to lock him down
4291s	and it was it was looking pretty rough
4293s	as well and speaking of looking pretty
4295s	rough arano in very very tight situation
4299s	though he might be able to turn this
4301s	back around the scale Rush coming
4303s	through into the 211 on the Hang sword
4306s	arano double scale Rush combo starts
4309s	Moxy yeah and Sh wasn't expecting the V2
4313s	yeah no he was not EXP the VT this is
4316s	really smart for Morano because he's
4318s	waited for these players to expect the
4320s	V1 to come out from the Liam and you
4322s	don't know the variant mixup until
4324s	you've actually potentially got grabbed
4326s	on up and that's going to add an
4328s	additional wrinkle to aran's realm of
4331s	Yang fights as Mike still with gray
4334s	armor on this ZIP if he's able to get
4336s	purple armor he's going to be incredibly
4337s	tanky but until then he's going to be
4339s	very very vulnerable that's why he's got
4340s	the fan in the back pocket so he can H
4343s	into these scale rushes as quickly as
4345s	possible possible but wbg spider does
4347s	have the purple armor that Mike 100%
4350s	would want are we going to see the Zips
4352s	both of whom lost their hot Drop fight
4355s	go into the realm of Yang spider's
4357s	already got his hands on Dreadful whale
4359s	oh my goodness this Hardy is absolutely
4363s	St you must have been going through so
4365s	many Quest SCS like Imperium has so many
4368s	quests that you can do around this area
4371s	and I think a lot of these players being
4372s	very worried about taking fights in this
4374s	basing because that war about the red
4376s	long sword and giving over that
4378s	potential extreme weapon to these
4380s	players before the first realm of Yang
4382s	means that the space is a little bit
4383s	more free for spider to come and go as
4385s	he pleases and just Gap through find
4388s	those Scrolls and pick up as much money
4389s	as he wants cuz speaking about not
4391s	expecting no one's going to be expecting
4393s	dread whale this early in the
4395s	game yeah no absolutely unless they
4398s	spotted out from afar here you know they
4400s	see that they see spider just shing
4402s	shing just like dashing around with his
4405s	Dreadful wh like oh okay maybe okay
4407s	there's a Hardy with Dreadful at this
4409s	early in the game got to be careful and
4412s	that is going to be a very nice uh
4415s	utility for spider throughout the entire
4418s	game as Dreadful whale although it's an
4420s	extremely useful combat tool it is extra
4423s	is extraordinarily useful when it comes
4426s	to endgame situations and sectioning off
4428s	pieces of terrain for you to be able to
4431s	hold on to and call your own so you can
4434s	deter onslaught aggression from other
4436s	players trying to take it away from you
4439s	and also just to uh completely cut
4442s	through all of those range projectiles
4444s	that may be coming your way this as
4446s	though spider is delaying his Yang entry
4449s	for the moment but we do have X1 and ss1
4453s	I feel like these two teams are always
4456s	going head-to-head Moxy I could have I
4459s	if we were to look at some kind of stat
4461s	I reckon we'd see these two teams going
4463s	head-to-head far more often than any
4465s	other team
4466s	yeah paced on that valer comes through
4467s	with the F2 gets caught up into the one
4471s	two uppercut extension into charge R be
4473s	on the stff from Wang in fact go so low
4476s	he comes out with that V2 now Wang is
4478s	going to go for the Hardy ultimate to
4481s	put pressure onto Pace who's trying to
4483s	come through with the spacing on the
4484s	charg R&B on this long SW for out one
4486s	space still has one to try and find a
4488s	connection onto the hard trying to find
4490s	the spacing to avoid the triple charge
4491s	burn damage coming on through from this
4493s	Hardy ultimate before putting himself
4495s	behind those pillars to dodge out and
4497s	wait for the duration of this ultimate
4499s	lovely spacing from Pace just sitting on
4501s	the charge in the long s now but he does
4504s	have to utilize that combo breaker into
4506s	the long so doesn't manage to find the
4507s	uppercut extension however with the hard
4510s	able to utilize the combo break of the
4512s	F2 to break away from the fight Pace
4514s	incredibly low we're going to see the
4516s	pistol Swap come out and that's going to
4517s	be more than enough damage to be able to
4519s	lock up the victory as the other realm
4521s	of gang fight is still going to be
4523s	ongoing it's going to be the exact same
4525s	match up from the hardies end however
4527s	he's going to be up against the kyin
4529s	with the V1 Canan Yuan live the duration
4532s	of SP his ultimate especially now that
4535s	he's not going to have that killing
4536s	guard to try and keep himself alive any
4539s	longer this is going to be tough but it
4541s	looks as though he's making it work as I
4544s	say that though eats a big old chunk of
4547s	damage from that dagger dagger doing so
4549s	much chip damage with these onews able
4552s	to take shanan down to critical health
4554s	is going to a very tall order to
4558s	actually make it out alive Janan though
4560s	he does find the opening with that blue
4561s	Focus scale Rush gets him the combo for
4563s	out the combo break spider going for the
4565s	jump par a little bit too early and
4567s	Janan is going to pull it out of the bag
4570s	out of nowhere turning it around
4573s	spider oh my goodness that is rough that
4577s	is an absolute tilter if I've ever seen
4580s	one ladies and gentlemen when you get
4582s	your opponent so so low you have full ad
4585s	advantage and they just they just hold
4588s	that little bit extra you know just a
4590s	little bit longer you
4592s	like just release it let me Parry you
4596s	especially when it's the charge lmv on
4598s	those F blades cuz the second that you
4601s	get hit by that blue and you haven't
4602s	pared it you know the purple's coming
4604s	for the followup afterwards and spider
4607s	he already burned the combo break he he
4609s	knew the writing was on the wall the
4611s	second he didn't manage to Parry that
4612s	first stage of blue is past going to be
4615s	going pretty low in terms of that blue
4617s	armor Janan with this legendary fan
4619s	managing to just melt away as we are
4621s	going to be seeing face try to come
4623s	through with the slaps to set up the
4624s	Stagger combo break is going to be
4626s	utilized from the kyin and to make sure
4628s	that the extension from the long to is
4630s	not going to be attained as face
4631s	unfortunately not able to find the
4633s	bubble connection will not be able to
4635s	get pry into any long extension from
4639s	this next cycle of valda utility as both
4641s	of these ultimates are going to be
4642s	invested however this is what valda did
4645s	not want to see happen you said earlier
4646s	that some of these Heroes struggle in
4648s	the multi-wave fight valder is one of
4650s	them and as a result the second and all
4652s	of these players show up to third party
4654s	with their own Yang depletions past has
4656s	to
4657s	disengage he certainly does does he know
4659s	where the firly is though Moxy I don't
4661s	know if he does I don't know if it's on
4663s	his mind but if he would to go up the
4665s	hill just a little bit he could maybe
4667s	find it for himself or perhaps utilize
4669s	one of these air these air jump pads the
4672s	sort of Fung fungi on the ground in this
4675s	area but it doesn't look as though he's
4677s	going to be able to and speaking of a
4679s	multi-way fight good Lord how many
4681s	players do we have here 1 2 3 four five
4685s	minimum I reckon andanan there we go
4688s	exactly what I was talking about using
4689s	that air jump pad to his advantage to
4691s	try and disengage immediately pressing
4693s	crou to get down to the ground again and
4695s	try and Juke these players but there are
4697s	so many players so many vultures
4699s	circling him is going to be extremely
4701s	hard to disengage regardless of the fact
4704s	that he does have that f in his
4705s	inventory to utilize well for that
4708s	disengage on the scale rush but
4710s	unfortunately he's not able to
4712s	regardless though he does have that
4713s	familian bird M so he is still safe he
4716s	is not down for the count just yet
4718s	however the save might not be said for
4721s	AIS as he has Yang depletion a minute
4724s	left on Yang depletion no armor to his
4727s	name c between two players here it's not
4729s	looking too good for him the Matari Dash
4731s	is going to come through he does find
4732s	that armor swwa guiding away holding the
4734s	R&B lmbb into the Dodge not able to
4737s	survive though verse takes him down
4740s	unfortunate for our boy but very
4743s	fortunate for verse as that is going to
4745s	take him all the way up to five
4747s	eliminations spider now with Yang
4750s	depletion still has plenty of time try
4752s	and find this kill up against drg Fang
4754s	especially given the fact that he has
4755s	that Hardy ultimate but he is going to
4759s	reposition towards this next Yang fight
4763s	in the hopes of being able to collapse
4764s	onto a player that's more easily
4766s	jumpable upon as he's going to put the
4768s	pressure down onto arano arano remember
4770s	is running the V2 not the V1 variant of
4773s	that Liam ultimate is SPID still trying
4775s	to put pressure onto D's Fang has no
4778s	idea now which Liam he's potentially
4782s	fighting as we're going to be seeing
4784s	Fang trying to just kite away that's not
4787s	what spider wants he's only got 50
4789s	seconds left he's going to go for the
4790s	jump lmvs with this H trying to use the
4793s	scale rushes to keep up with F's
4795s	movement but this is one of the things
4797s	that has set Fang apart from all of the
4799s	solo players so far this season his
4801s	ability to Fred in and out of these
4804s	fights and it's brought the attention of
4807s	another player Fang goes down does fight
4809s	to get the bloom yes he does the
4811s	connection with the R&B from the HS up
4813s	guarantees that shuang managed to get
4816s	away from the body and spider while he
4819s	didn't get the kill got the soul blim to
4821s	continue in this lobby as T25 is going
4824s	to be going head-to-head with wuang
4827s	wuang taking a matter of moments to set
4829s	up the two n before this fight begins
4831s	cuz going up against the zip he's going
4832s	to need every bit of sustain he can get
4835s	absolutely but let's see it T225
4837s	applying the pressure finds the scal
4839s	entry but it's blue F Focus held through
4842s	here by those nunchucks wo Fang sending
4845s	out the horizontal blue oh beautiful
4848s	hold Dodge into lmbb catch off the back
4850s	of that R&B release there from T225
4852s	these R&B's are crazy my friend friend
4855s	what are you doing I will say though oh
4858s	there it is that's why that's why he's
4860s	sending them he's got the HEPA in the
4862s	back pocket manages to find the the HEPA
4865s	confirmation onto wuang salvaging the
4869s	fight salvaging the neutral here but
4871s	good googly mli is it still going to be
4874s	a tough one but he finds the opener out
4876s	of nowhere coming out of the sky
4878s	unfortunately he goes for that Carousel
4881s	combo against the Yang wall
4883s	unfortunately though it does not connect
4885s	and now tt25 is on the defensive the
4888s	hard ultimate trying to apply as much
4890s	pressure as possible applying this fire
4892s	tick as well it's going to be extremely
4894s	hard for T25 to survive he finds the he
4897s	though the heal's going to come through
4899s	so low HP the focus the whole Dodge into
4903s	the sap T25 he's coming back from the
4906s	brink can he live here he swaps to those
4909s	golden nunchucks I'll take that thank
4911s	you very much dropping down looking to
4914s	see if he can find the opener again
4916s	still sustaining so much health to his
4920s	name look at this health bar ticking up
4923s	and up wo Fang he was in Advantage at
4925s	the beginning but can he clutch this up
4928s	there's not very much time left five
4930s	four 3 two one is he going to take him
4934s	down he is oh my God the the flipflop in
4940s	this Yang fight was insane Moxy this was
4943s	not oh my my goodness that was 1 second
4948s	one that was a one second B one second
4953s	timeout coming on through oh my goodness
4956s	both of those players getting so very
4959s	desperate you can see both of them
4960s	anticipating the other would thr the
4962s	blue both looking for the Parry what a
4965s	real of Yang fight unfortunately that is
4967s	going to put K under that Yang depletion
4971s	verse going incredibly low he's not
4973s	going to be ready though from that Soul
4975s	alter to try and take the pressure away
4978s	from this Matari and capitalize on the
4982s	fact that versus had to invest
4983s	absolutely everything to try and break
4986s	away from the player hounding him down
4988s	which is currently Mike Juan also in the
4990s	mix with that daggle we just saw
4992s	assassin's lunch coming on through as
4994s	he's utilizing the charge lmv to keep
4998s	Pace with them Atari and catch her
5000s	before she can break the ankles and just
5003s	break off into the distance since Mike
5005s	not going to be able to find the kill
5007s	has been able to pick himself up a
5008s	legendary dagger and legendary armor and
5011s	that is going to mean a lot of
5012s	sustainability that is going to be
5014s	available for the zip is he going to be
5016s	the only zip that manages to make it to
5018s	the end game we'll have to wait and see
5020s	as T5 losing that Yang fight now means
5024s	he has four minutes to try to instigate
5027s	a fight going in zip very very good to
5030s	kiting away from a fight but
5031s	unfortunately lacking that burst
5033s	potential especially lacking a lot of
5036s	those combo break utilities can struggle
5039s	when she has to inate one as we are
5041s	going to have a look back at the replay
5043s	and see exactly how Mike was able to
5045s	find the upgrade cuz he won against ewg
5048s	Zano he certainly did I we saw him with
5052s	that golden armor after taking down that
5055s	Matari there scale rush comes through
5057s	arano he's been using this 211 on hang
5060s	sword quite a lot lately I'm not sure
5063s	why he's opting to use this is opposed
5065s	to Simply doing the grapple combo
5067s	speaking of grapple combo Mike tries to
5069s	catch that Carousel reset against the
5072s	wall here unfortunately the grapple does
5074s	go wide though arano is sending out that
5076s	sphere to try and catch Mike but the
5078s	jump lmbs are too much and arano goes
5082s	down that is an interesting thought that
5084s	I I want to try and discuss with a few
5086s	people I don't know it's it's certainly
5089s	an odd one why bother going for a
5092s	211 on a on a hang sword when your
5096s	grapple combo is is simply one of the
5098s	most reliable grapple combos in the game
5101s	and not only that but that grapple bump
5103s	itself does give you that little bit
5105s	extra damage as well so it's it's not
5108s	even like you're up against a her who
5110s	has combo break and you're trying to
5111s	bait the combo break to be able to go
5114s	for the better combo no I I do agree I
5117s	think Arana was just under a lot of
5119s	pressure because he knew that up against
5121s	the zip if you let that zip go for even
5123s	a moment you saw what happened when T5
5126s	was able to break away he was like two
5128s	hits away from death and then just fully
5130s	toed all the way back and you have to
5132s	remember too his opponent had tuna which
5134s	was constantly PR for the entire
5136s	duration of that fight it's just that
5139s	zip sustainability especially given the
5141s	fact that it's Mike that you're up
5143s	against you really and you know that
5146s	it's going to be Mike because Mike has
5148s	this identity this season of going for
5151s	the zip first game it's his comfort it's
5154s	the way that he's sort of settles
5155s	himself into the day to be able to deal
5158s	with his mental which he himself has
5160s	admitted is a little bit less than it
5162s	has been in the past so you know that
5165s	you're going to be going up against the
5167s	strongest player in solos who's the
5169s	defending mvpl Champion and World
5171s	Champion and I think that additional
5173s	pressure just made AR make a little bit
5175s	of a faux power in terms of the decision
5177s	making I the thing is it's it's also
5180s	that oh wait wait a second oh we got so
5185s	close to
5187s	theit he he oh he has another sphere I
5189s	was about to say does he find the next
5191s	one it looked as though he was going to
5193s	but unfortunately not he does not find
5196s	the confirmation it looks as though he
5199s	might find a fight here with tt25 he oh
5202s	okay the Mind Game there he expects the
5204s	cancel on the last oh my goodness out of
5208s	nowhere he sees Mike fade in with a blue
5210s	Focus just boom insta Parry back to my
5213s	fight but it looks as though he's going
5215s	to be backing up into the storm here as
5217s	unfortunately he just simply has not
5220s	enough
5222s	time but yep luckily for T225 he's going
5226s	to find himself that Soul Bloom and
5228s	cleanse that Yang depletion very nice
5231s	turn of events for T25 it's sad to say
5234s	though looking looking at T25 he looks
5237s	pretty scaled up he's he's been playing
5240s	well we've seen we've seen him do
5242s	extremely well in that Yang fight
5243s	unfortunately he didn't go his way but
5244s	he's had he's had zero elimination so
5247s	far in this game zero absolutely nothing
5250s	that's the danger with zip though
5252s	exactly EXA lacking that burst potential
5255s	as well as every single time we see a
5256s	zip get one of these targets low in a
5259s	multi-wave fight something like a kylin
5261s	Ori or even the Matari with the F2 is
5264s	just able to come through and find that
5265s	last hit and it doesn't matter if you've
5266s	been the one fighting a player for over
5268s	a minute if you don't get the last hit
5270s	you don't get that kill K as spider on
5273s	the Hardy is trying to come through with
5275s	this Kat against yanan has already been
5276s	able to force out that ultimate the V1
5279s	from the only kyin in the lobby spider
5281s	is going to be coming on through with
5283s	his ultimate now taking to the sky
5286s	trying to set up that burn damage to
5288s	catch this kylin and it's going to be
5291s	Mike who's able to walk away with the
5293s	kill Mike with the pistol shot NOS that
5296s	he would struggle in the Close Quarters
5299s	One V one when it becomes that multi-way
5301s	action and just sits on the sideline
5304s	with the p still waiting waiting to take
5306s	advantage of a player going low and
5308s	because of this he's up to three kills
5310s	now indeed look at this though tg5 I'll
5314s	take you all on the hardies he's taking
5317s	it Taking it upon himself to just take
5319s	the one versus two fight it seems as
5322s	neither of these Hardies looks to really
5324s	go for the other as it would be
5327s	counterintuitive to do so T25 taking
5330s	upon himself to try and fend off both of
5332s	these players and doing so extremely
5334s	well but unfortunately he did get caught
5338s	eating a lot of damage there eating all
5341s	of that Shield going all the way down
5344s	thankfully though he's managed to make
5345s	his way through the edge of that Moon
5348s	Bane over to this Cliff side and now
5351s	utilizing those dagger scale rushes is
5353s	going to be able to break away somewhat
5355s	and ice off some of this pressure T25
5357s	though he's getting caught on these
5358s	buttery rocks he's trying his best to
5359s	disengage is becoming harder and harder
5362s	as it's the pressure is mounting just
5365s	getting worse and worse but it
5368s	looks Mike to the rescue get off my
5371s	zipping
5373s	friend it is the two hes versus the two
5377s	Zips ex and in the meantime Shang on the
5380s	matar is just waiting to see if he can
5382s	take advantage of either of these
5384s	players going low as both of these Zips
5389s	know that letting the hardies wait for
5392s	their ultimates to come through an end
5394s	game is not what they want to occur the
5397s	Hardy is one of the Zip's biggest
5400s	counters in solos because of that burn
5402s	damage attached to that V2 25 with that
5406s	dagger goes for the overh hold on the
5407s	charge lmb is trying to lead the hardies
5410s	into the matui as well because it's in
5413s	the matar's best interest to take the
5415s	hardies down too Hardy being so
5418s	oppressive in the end game plus with the
5420s	burn damage but also that knockback
5422s	potential to push these players into
5424s	that additional corruption six damage
5427s	should mean that all three of these
5428s	other players not on this hero want to
5430s	try and remove these threats and that's
5432s	exactly what Mike and spider are trying
5434s	to get shuang to look at as well but
5437s	td25 with that dag having to get up
5439s	close a lot closer than he wants to
5442s	shushing seeing a target load comes in
5444s	with the F2 hoping to find that kill as
5447s	Mike sees his fellow zip going low and
5450s	now turns on to td25 in the hopes of
5453s	being able to confirm that kill as it is
5456s	absolutely everybody trying to get this
5459s	last
5461s	hit absolutely the the Betrayal coming
5464s	through it is uh you know hey the Family
5468s	Matter or not if you're that low HP you
5471s	are going down regardless as it is a
5474s	kill is still a kill no matter what the
5477s	situation it looks as though he is going
5479s	to be uh he he did pressure him down but
5482s	unfortunately wasn't able to close out
5484s	the the K T25 able to fend off the
5486s	aggression and now Mike looks as though
5488s	he's on the receiving end of a
5491s	considerable amount of damage but again
5494s	might be able to break away and
5496s	disengage going up the cliff side using
5499s	these dagger scale rushes we talk about
5502s	it time and time again it's just one of
5504s	those things that you always want to
5505s	have in your back pocket in this
5508s	competitive environment as it offers you
5510s	unrivaled utility in these situations it
5513s	looks as though TD again is eating quite
5515s	a lot of pressure from the hardies here
5518s	an extremely hard matchup to some extent
5520s	you could say because the combo break on
5523s	Hardy gives him so much probility and
5525s	it's just it's a cool down that you know
5528s	it seems as though it's up almost all
5530s	the time even though it is still
5531s	relatively long and is still like equal
5535s	in terms of a lot of other combo
5536s	breakers in the game it is just so so
5538s	good now spider verticality too yeah
5542s	even though our end game has cliff and
5545s	we see everyone with things like the
5547s	dagger or the fan in the back pocket so
5549s	they can set the skoures up if they need
5551s	a break away from the fight that Hardy
5553s	ultimate is just making it so much
5555s	easier for spider and wo Fang to just
5558s	come through with that V2 and catch
5560s	these players low when they are trying
5561s	to find those scale rushes with the burn
5563s	damage of their triple charge as we
5566s	could potentially go all the way to that
5567s	heal off but that is not going to
5569s	benefit anyone other than the hard eats
5571s	spider going low is going to have to
5574s	utilize that combo break reposition does
5577s	get knocked up into that corruption
5579s	damage with the dagger damage coming on
5581s	through but comes through with the
5583s	investment of the mid dump onto shuang
5585s	he anticipated that he would be low
5587s	enough that these players were try and
5588s	collapse onto him and went for the
5590s	primature metad to catch whoever tried
5591s	to come through and speaking about
5593s	catches he catches the par now on T25
5595s	who comes on through with that Z sustain
5597s	ability to B back into the zone as Mike
5600s	with a massive Parry finally confirms
5603s	the kill onto one of the hotties and
5605s	tips the scale into the favor of the two
5608s	Zips left indeed I will say one thing I
5611s	wanted to I wanted to know earlier I'm
5613s	not going to go into the full
5614s	explanation and just as it does take a
5617s	little bit of time but one of the
5618s	interesting things is that for the
5620s	Matari in this situation it is actually
5622s	more beneficial for her to focus the
5624s	zipping and it seems counterintuitive
5626s	and it's exactly what I thought you what
5627s	you were saying earlier how it's better
5629s	for the Matari to look Focus down the
5632s	the the the KY or the T the hardies but
5635s	on it's actually it's actually the
5637s	opposite interestingly and I'll go into
5638s	why a little bit later on but for the
5640s	moment we've got these last few moments
5642s	coming through Mike on the low ground
5644s	looking to try and stay as topped up on
5647s	that HP as possible now going to be
5648s	popping the ultimate taking a little bit
5649s	of fireti but he might be able to negate
5652s	some of it it looks as though he's
5653s	pretty much full HP and May in fact come
5656s	out on top here in that heal off
5657s	situation T225 takes the hit there
5660s	eating a lot of damage this poison
5661s	Splash is going to be coming through and
5663s	it looks as though chuang and Mike are
5665s	going to be Saved by the Bell or rather
5667s	chuang is going to be Saved by the Bell
5670s	as I think Mike definitely had a bit
5673s	more HP there and would have survived in
5675s	the long run but we're going to go for a
5678s	draw in terms of placement but it's not
5680s	a draw in terms of MVP X1 wuang is going
5685s	to be taking the cake for game number
5687s	one ladies and gentlemen our first MVP
5691s	of the day it's going to be wo started
5695s	the game countering the zip ends the
5698s	game countering the zip Mike still going
5702s	to be happy with the amount of points
5703s	that he was able to pick up though he
5705s	was able to come through with a good
5707s	chunk of kills as to was Shang td25
5711s	unfortunately is probably the worst off
5714s	in every single one of those last
5717s	players standing even though he manages
5719s	to outlift so many plays without a
5721s	single kill he's going to hardly be
5724s	picking up any points at all and that is
5727s	him having burnt his zip pick to come
5731s	through and try to play alongside Mike
5734s	with those hero piics in the hopes of
5736s	just keeping each other alive prolonging
5738s	that potential of being able to costume
5741s	change and break away from some of those
5743s	engagements that's going to be one that
5745s	is going to be felt for the entire rest
5748s	of the duration of the day as we can see
5752s	that uh everyone made sure that any VA
5754s	is in the lobby dunk didn't make it to
5757s	heal off everyone has now got that
5759s	additional win condition do not allow
5762s	the vder to come through with that V2
5765s	because we had that constant sort of
5767s	push and pull that seaa of power between
5770s	things like the Hardy and the zip that's
5772s	all thrown out of the mix if we have a
5774s	valda but speaking about throwing into
5776s	the mix we're going to be throwing you
5777s	in Chad into the first question of the
5780s	day and it is going to be a doozy these
5783s	questions
5784s	have been getting progressively more
5788s	difficult as the days have gone on how
5791s	many kills did ewg's orano get in game
5795s	number one was it A4 was it B3 was it C2
5800s	or was it D1 get your answer into twitch
5803s	chat and you'll be able to get your
5805s	hands on a Sumer split random gift
5808s	indeed don't be that person who misses
5811s	out on having won their prize stick
5814s	around to make sure you find out who is
5817s	the winner if it if it's you or if it's
5819s	somebody else wish them congratulations
5822s	but another congratulations here we're
5824s	taking a look at the scoreboard of the
5826s	the first game of the day woong in the
5828s	lead but only by a small margin 6.5
5832s	coming out on top ui's Mike with six fpx
5835s	verse with 5.5 chuen with five zanan
5839s	with three arano with 2.5 spider with
5842s	two T225 with 1 .5 AIS with one Fong
5847s	with 0.5 and then past and star at the
5849s	bottom unfortunately with 0 points
5852s	thankfully though T25 does pick up a
5854s	little bit you know with those placement
5855s	points it's but it's it's crazy to see
5858s	that he's not able to get more points
5860s	considering how many good fights he had
5863s	speaking of unfortunately this was
5864s	probably the worst fight he had
5866s	throughout the entire game just getting
5868s	absolutely Chef to Perfection by Wu Fong
5872s	here on this on this early game drop
5876s	with this insane um terrain combo here
5879s	as well something I talked about a
5881s	little bit te star just a little bit a
5883s	little bit greedy I think there opting
5885s	to go for the armor swap instead of
5887s	opting to Simply using that ultimate we
5890s	got Al Ian also another thing to mention
5892s	these are of course the replay sponsor
5894s	to you by a thunder robot um but uh just
5898s	too excited looking at this Nora
5900s	gameplay the turnaround here oh my God
5902s	this real of Yang Mox this one was
5906s	crazy it was literally like 0.2 seconds
5911s	left that was insane though that the
5914s	charge R be on the staff like if if TD5
5917s	had found that jump F we would have gone
5920s	to timeout for sure I don't know I mean
5922s	if he found that Parry because nchu is a
5924s	single hit Parry attack he may have been
5927s	able he potentially had enough damage to
5930s	kill him maybe cuz he picked up those
5931s	gold nunchucks so it's either but a it's
5934s	hard to say it's a it's in a different
5937s	timeline
5938s	yeah unfortunately it's in a different
5941s	timeline entirely as it is going to be
5943s	the timeline that Wang is going to be
5946s	picking up his fifth MVP that we find
5948s	ourselves in with the F2 and V2 load out
5951s	but that hard
5953s	2,759 damage helped in a large part by
5957s	the sheer amount of resets that we saw
5960s	coming through the fight against those
5962s	two Zips in end game coming in clutch
5965s	and you can see he went into this
5968s	expecting to be fighting Zips if you
5970s	look at everything that he brought in
5972s	he's got blistering Edge which is fire
5975s	tick damage on the P sword he's got
5977s	rupture galob and Flame breath which is
5980s	fire tick damage on the cannon and he's
5982s	got tuna for that constant
5984s	sustainability proc to have that taking
5987s	away even if he's sitting inside the
5989s	ultimate or using that combo breaker
5991s	he's always making sure that he's making
5993s	him himself as hard a Target to turn
5996s	onto as possible that if other players
5998s	get pressured around him even if he has
6001s	to look for those movement resets just
6003s	like the zip he's still going to be able
6005s	to move and keep replenishing that
6007s	Health pool as he goes as opposed to
6010s	making himself a Sitting Duck only being
6012s	able to settle for the Crouch spam when
6015s	you burn a shield or Vitalia indeed he
6018s	was absolutely stacked my obviously you
6023s	know know he played it extremely well
6025s	but good Lord was he putting himself in
6028s	a position to win that game you know the
6030s	blistering fire damage as he said he had
6032s	the rupture Gill he had the tuna he had
6034s	everything everything he could possibly
6035s	want the pole sword as well to be able
6037s	to pull out I'm assuming he had if uh if
6040s	for the is you know it's extremely
6043s	possible and in fact it is actually I
6045s	think the highest percentage chance for
6047s	you to get one of these Cliffside end
6049s	games on peroria to have a pul sword in
6052s	the pocket to be able to pull it out and
6054s	scale Rush up and down that terrain as
6056s	pul sword although it's not the fastest
6059s	alongside great sword it's not the
6060s	fastest it is the most damaging scale
6063s	Rush allowing for pretty sort of very
6067s	very fast Burst followup as well you
6069s	know it's not the fastest like dagger or
6071s	fan but it can net you a lot of value in
6074s	those endgame situations especially if
6076s	you can turn around and pull out a
6077s	blistering Edge out of nowhere as well
6080s	but that was our first game of the day
6083s	and we're going to be going into our
6084s	second relatively soon Moxy and I'm
6087s	curious to see what we're going to be
6088s	seeing moving forwards as things have
6091s	changed up certainly we talked about it
6092s	a little bit earlier how the the Kyer
6095s	Nerf came through although the the Hardy
6097s	Nerf was more directed towards the trios
6100s	environment it is still certainly enough
6102s	to solos in that the if you do use your
6106s	ultimate and then you cancel it you
6109s	still have to wait those 15 seconds
6111s	before you can passively or actively
6114s	gain rage obviously if you pick up a
6116s	soul Bloom that's a different story
6118s	however if you if you look to do damage
6120s	or or if you're taking damage or just
6122s	simply generating it over time you're
6124s	not going to be able to do so for 15
6127s	seconds after you've canceled the
6129s	ultimate so it does make a difference
6131s	but it's not as big of an impact as it
6133s	has been in triers as we saw we did oh
6136s	actually we didn't see very much Hardy
6138s	or kyin yesterday in those Trio games
6141s	which it's just crazy how one one or two
6146s	things just being adjusted or being Nerf
6148s	poof these characters just disappear it
6150s	is it can be it's just that cut and dry
6153s	at times with these characters and with
6155s	these compositions as certain things
6156s	make things make characters make weapons
6159s	whatever it might be work and uh very
6162s	very strong and then as soon as that
6164s	specific thing gets uh gets taken away
6167s	or adjusted it can mean the the the just
6170s	the The Disappearance of of a said thing
6173s	but going into this next game as you
6175s	said earlier it's uh they've definitely
6178s	adjusted none of the valers made it to
6180s	end game thank you like
6185s	I short ran I I was sat here watching
6189s	the games the other day watching the
6191s	valers yeah we were just look watching
6193s	just seeing these valers make what are
6195s	you
6199s	doing yeah yeah what's going on did we
6202s	forget Val her exist
6205s	it was it was it was when it was the
6208s	dagger I was like he had a dagger and he
6211s	was just going for free lmv off of
6213s	spirit assassin's Lun and I was like
6215s	yeah it's it's over he's he's obviously
6217s	going to win the heilo situation but you
6219s	can tell that a lot of these plays have
6221s	adjusted not just to stop the valders
6224s	from winning that heal of situation but
6226s	also to win against valer inside realm
6227s	of Yang cuz like that is one of the
6230s	things that sort of has been a reason
6232s	why VA hasn't really seen a lot of play
6235s	even uh when we had like the V2 came
6238s	through with her rework what a year ago
6241s	because we saw her in solos uh in the
6244s	solos Lobby all that time ago and then
6247s	it got changed and nerfed but one of the
6250s	the main reasons that we stopped really
6252s	seeing the vda other than just the
6254s	duration and also the amount of extra
6256s	Health that she was able to get getting
6258s	nerfed was the fact that she didn't get
6260s	as many spits she wasn't able to to
6263s	throw them
6264s	as frequently so a lot of the time even
6266s	though you still have access to the free
6268s	spars you don't actually get the full
6269s	hit of those free Spears because you
6271s	have to space them out since when you
6273s	throw one if it connects onto a player
6275s	they become immune they get locked out
6276s	of it just as they do to any other form
6279s	of CC but another reason why we didn't
6281s	really see valda in solos is that even
6284s	in the One V one not only does she
6285s	struggle in the multi-weight she
6287s	struggles in the One V one because it's
6288s	so easy for these players to Simply
6290s	Dodge
6291s	it a lot of the time when we see that VA
6294s	of V2 come through even inside the realm
6296s	of Y it's so rare that we actually get
6298s	to see this big connect because they
6299s	either tap Dodge it or they focus
6302s	through it and they're just able to
6304s	especially if it's a Justina like it's
6307s	such a hard match up into a Justina into
6310s	a Tami the vder really does struggle
6313s	against certain Heroes that a lot of
6315s	these players have started switching
6316s	over to especially now that the hero
6319s	points aren't going to be able to be
6320s	spent as frequently on the kin as uh
6324s	they had been in the
6325s	past no you're absolutely right and I
6328s	think that the the the biggest Nerf that
6330s	that came through for valda was that she
6334s	she couldn't throw those Spears back to
6336s	back because there were there was there
6338s	was the you basically had the ability to
6340s	throw one and then immediately animation
6344s	cancel and throw a second one which made
6346s	it extremely hard to dodge but once they
6348s	removed that interaction it became much
6351s	easier to deal with valer and then she
6354s	became she she just sort of got left in
6356s	a state where the the duration wasn't
6358s	wasn't long enough for for it to be
6361s	worthwhile and there were just other
6363s	characters that were simply the more
6366s	more optimal choice in those situations
6369s	um but it's yeah it she's certainly be
6372s	uh become a lot more prevalent now and I
6374s	think it's largely to do with her F just
6377s	having that quality of life buff
6379s	essentially where before her F bubbles
6383s	would couldn't stagger players out of
6385s	gold Focus right you you couldn't if if
6388s	you were to get parried or if there was
6390s	just a gold Focus attack coming your way
6393s	and you threw down your bubble with with
6395s	F1 or
6396s	F2 they would just go through it but now
6400s	that it staggers them out of it it makes
6403s	the the getting parried and that sort of
6405s	thing a much better experience as you
6408s	can avoid that followup fully as your
6411s	bubble is going to stop them in their
6413s	track
6413s	and then of course those extra couple
6415s	seconds on the valda ultimate giving you
6417s	the ability to fully utilize all three
6420s	Spears because before unless you use
6423s	them exactly back immediately getting
6426s	all three out at least in solos you got
6429s	like two exactly yeah and then you
6431s	wouldn't really be able to get the third
6433s	one but now having the ability to use
6435s	all three if you want but also just 2
6437s	seconds although on paper it doesn't
6439s	sound like very much in game when you're
6442s	when like it feel feels a lot like a lot
6444s	more you feel it you certainly you get
6446s	to sit as well in in the spare hold
6449s	animation a lot longer cuz that's that's
6452s	another thing like when the duration was
6454s	shorter there was this the sort of
6456s	expectation that if you wanted to be
6458s	able to get the most amount of spars
6460s	utiliz in your ultimate you had to
6462s	immediately throw them so when a player
6465s	saw you go for that animation and it is
6467s	a very obvious animation there is no
6470s	weapon in the game where you have a
6472s	javel and held over one shoulder so you
6475s	know exactly what is coming through and
6477s	you would just see it and be able to
6479s	dodge it but now you can actually sort
6481s	of sit in that animation much longer and
6484s	utilize it to either avoid getting
6486s	staggered or you can go into the Mind
6489s	Games and you can sort of hold that
6491s	spear animation wait for them to
6493s	preemptively go for the Dodge and then
6495s	catch them just as in the way in the
6498s	past well like you said you didn't have
6499s	that lock out every time you throw a
6501s	spit so you were able to go for the back
6503s	to back and it was sort of uh if you
6506s	dodged one you dodged into the next one
6509s	as opposed to dodging one then dodging
6512s	the second then dodging the third and
6514s	then all of the front of the ultimate
6516s	has been removed entirely something else
6518s	I think is another reason that vder is
6520s	starting to benefit both in solos and
6522s	trios is the nunchuck change with how
6525s	fast that metad dump can come through
6528s	being able to catch onto those players
6530s	when they are stuck in those vder CCs is
6533s	absolutely massive in fact a lot of the
6535s	time when we do see the followup with
6536s	the valda it's either into the full
6538s	meter dump or it's into the long sword
6541s	Carousel indeed and it's you can sort of
6544s	uh you can do these TOS or these pseudo
6546s	TOS with valder ultimate as well
6549s	especially with the with staff where you
6551s	can do that lunging attack into the
6553s	followup R&B and then you go for the
6555s	grapple cancel or even I think you can
6558s	actually just do it off the off the back
6560s	of the the end knockback animation you
6562s	throw another spear catch them and then
6564s	just do it all over again and it can it
6566s	definitely although it's not a fullon to
6569s	it does a considerable amount of damage
6571s	and in all likelihood you're going to be
6573s	taking down your opponent but enough of
6576s	that let's take a look at these
6578s	character picks so far we've had Hardy
6581s	and Liam both banned out off the back of
6584s	these few picks now in this final uh
6587s	fifth
6588s	or the second last rather fifth uh round
6592s	selection we have arano picking up the
6594s	zipping here Fong still deciding we are
6598s	going to be going over to Sunny hollo
6601s	and no surprise he's going to be picking
6604s	up that Matari a certainly a comfort
6607s	pick for Fong and for quite a few of
6610s	these players spider going to be picking
6611s	up the tamul a extremely solid character
6615s	and actually a pretty decent uh decent
6618s	matchup into Matari I believe as your
6621s	combo break being such a low coold down
6624s	it allows you to essentially match the
6627s	um the the the cooldown of matar's F and
6630s	allow you to um escape and potentially
6633s	if you find that catch with the Wisp
6635s	since Matari lacks the ability to to
6638s	combo break out of things even even
6641s	though if you were in a whisk you
6642s	couldn't use a combo break afterwards in
6644s	that combo that that you can uh get the
6647s	confirmation from the Wisp you can't
6649s	break out of it you can definitely to
6651s	some Matari with Tomas
6653s	if you're a if you're a connoisseur if
6656s	you're vers in the uh in in the Sandy
6659s	boy ways you you perfectly plac down
6662s	your ultimate here's a quick tip
6663s	actually for you at home if you are a
6665s	tomol enjoyer or if you're not and
6667s	you're thinking about trying him if you
6669s	catch a player with that sand Wisp from
6671s	your F and then you position yourself
6673s	right next to them and then you use your
6676s	ultimate in a in just a in the opposite
6679s	direction so that you're sort of
6681s	parallel with them when you use it when
6683s	the AL comes down the player that was in
6685s	the Wisp is going to be put inside the
6688s	sand wall on its cast so you can then
6691s	you utilize that stagger and if you're
6693s	running V3 you get another wisp you
6695s	throw it down and then you just do it do
6697s	a massive to back to back yeah that you
6700s	can constantly reset with those sandwich
6702s	that's what we've seen actually in
6704s	regards to the
6705s	HTI a lot of those Hardies whenever
6708s	they've either gone for ultimate
6709s	activation or combo breaker they've been
6712s	like they've been finding them elves
6713s	back to back to back to back to back
6714s	just re whsp especially inside those
6716s	realm of Yang 1 V ones where you don't
6718s	have to worry about being interrupted
6720s	but unlike vda tamy really benefits in
6723s	the multiway fight because his CC isn't
6725s	broken by one hit granted we are on the
6727s	patch that means that vda CC isn't
6729s	broken by grapple H but unfortunately
6734s	even if like a straight pistol shot
6736s	comes through from some of these other
6737s	players and you are always going to be
6739s	in a multi-way fight unless you're
6740s	inside a r of Yang which is another
6743s	reason why Tammy just pretty much does a
6745s	lot of what vda does in terms of that
6747s	lockdown but Bas we're going to be
6749s	having a look and seeing what all of
6750s	these players are going to be dropping a
6751s	lot of these players going to be headed
6754s	up north over towards Imperial so that
6756s	area of the map is going to be
6758s	incredibly contested as we are going to
6760s	be seeing a and Pace going almost
6762s	immediately Head to Head T25 on that
6764s	Liam loading on up pace however has find
6767s	himself a blue Spear and the confidence
6770s	to train and T this fight even though he
6772s	current has no armor he's going to be
6775s	looing over towards T5 still hasn't been
6777s	able to pick up even a gray set so said
6780s	we're going to be headed over to
6781s	Imperial and just behind it over towards
6784s	waterfall to have a look at orano on the
6787s	zipping currently weaponless has
6790s	utilized one F1 to get that free tap
6793s	Dodge and break away does manage to find
6794s	the staff gets the next reset of the F1
6798s	to dodge away and put himself onto that
6800s	wall to scale rushan just disengage
6803s	until he's just picked through some more
6805s	of those troves and find himself at a
6807s	better Advantage when it comes to lowed
6809s	as the first fight that we actually
6811s	going to be seeing being taken is going
6812s	to come against spider and Fang spider
6815s	on those fist blades Fang already having
6817s	find himself a purple fan so SP going to
6820s	have to be careful that he doesn't get
6821s	caught out by the Char lmb because
6823s	that's already all of his armor removed
6826s	sits in the lmb of the Fist blades
6828s	thinks better off it cancels out of it
6830s	to put himself onto the rooftop and try
6833s	to reposition to just create a little
6834s	bit more distance between himself and
6836s	that matus he is going to be able to
6838s	find the one two into Corner lck F
6841s	utilizing that F2 spider is going to be
6843s	able to come through with the combo
6844s	breaker into ultimate this is the V3
6846s	it's not going to be used to find a re
6849s	whisp extension it's going to be used to
6851s	create space that spider has a chance to
6852s	heal back up before the fight picks up
6855s	again indeed oh he finds it though that
6859s	wisp confirmation just on the dash in
6861s	fong in danger oh my goodness spider
6866s	pulling it back sends the Wisp I'm not
6868s	sure if if he if it clashed or if it
6871s	just caught the mataria as the mataria
6873s	was dashing in or if he deliberately
6875s	threw it down in front of him predicting
6878s	that the the Matari would Dash in in
6881s	that moment and trying to catch him
6882s	there regardless he's able to come back
6886s	from the brink and clutch it up in that
6888s	situation Fong thrown for a a loop sand
6891s	in his eyes he's not happy about that
6894s	one but uh Spider definitely going to be
6897s	pretty pleased with themselves you know
6899s	picking up a kill off the bat as to mul
6901s	in that area is pretty solid as there's
6903s	a decent amount of loot to be had you're
6905s	going to be able to loot up and come
6907s	over here and potentially look for a
6908s	timing attack on all of these players
6910s	fighting in Imperial Village we have
6913s	wufong and ver going head-to-head doing
6916s	at the valda ditto the valda mirror
6919s	Shenanigans where they're just
6920s	constantly sending these Spears back
6922s	back to back and armoring through each
6925s	other's Spears wuang now in a bit of a
6927s	bad spot our MVP from the previous game
6931s	forced to try and kite away verse
6933s	unfortunately I think there was a bit of
6935s	a movement error or a grapple mishap as
6938s	he's not been able to keep Pace with Wu
6941s	Fong and now he's broken away almost
6944s	entirely and is going to be getting it
6947s	somewhat or not perhaps not a full oh he
6949s	is he's getting a full reset here
6951s	getting that double shield heal but ver
6954s	catches him on this small building for
6956s	use that combo break though ver he got a
6959s	taste of his own Menace and he's been
6960s	send back oh my goodness you that's not
6964s	what you want you use your combo breaker
6966s	get out of danger and then immediately
6968s	get put back into the combo wufong
6971s	absolutely cooking here catches him with
6973s	that with that running lmbb
6975s	unfortunately not able to get any follow
6977s	up off of that one verse goes for the
6979s	Parry Force you combo breaker yet again
6981s	he's now going to be trying to break
6983s	away looks for the counter grapple but
6985s	not able to find it unfortunately he
6986s	does find an armor swap here though goes
6988s	for yet another Parry woong is just in
6992s	this guy's head living rent free catches
6996s	him with the scale Rush R&B Tech Chase
6999s	and woong he's looking in form today
7003s	Moxy Mike and Aran now going head
7005s	to-head arano getting mik incredbly low
7008s	is going to force the Hardy into using
7009s	that ultimate to try to break away
7011s	almost went down to to the Slow Burn of
7013s	the first Zone corruption damage of H
7016s	low that Hardy has gone now mik though
7018s	is going up into the sky to play on high
7021s	going to cancel out of that ultimate go
7023s	for a full reset does have the full
7025s	meter dump to come on through Miss times
7028s	however that perus and does not have the
7031s	opportunity to look for the power that
7033s	he's wanting so has to use the combo
7034s	break to just break away from that fight
7037s	both of these players Miss timing their
7039s	power but arano able to come through
7041s	with the fist blade follow through Mike
7042s	finds the uppercut does he manage to
7044s	find the extension orano on the zip is
7047s	going to throw in that F so that he gets
7049s	the extra movement go head to-head
7051s	against Mike can come through with the
7053s	fist blades faster and will finally be
7055s	able to claim that kill but in
7058s	comparison to the first lobby of the day
7060s	that we saw in pedor these fights have
7062s	been going much more slowly and we
7064s	haven't really even seen all the much
7066s	third party action coming through that
7069s	might all change up however as we are
7070s	about to hit second gear with first
7073s	round of Yang and it contests coming
7076s	online indeed looky here te star looking
7081s	uh absolutely scaled to the teeth two
7085s	purple and one gold the golden spear
7088s	here for T EA and then on top of that
7091s	he's going to go over to that Rift
7093s	dealer and purchase himself a cheeky
7097s	purple armor to boot he very very scaled
7100s	up here instead I'm not sure if he had
7102s	any kills I didn't actually happen to
7104s	take a look but going for that uh that
7107s	salvation Podium drop securing that
7110s	legendary weapon you know usually we
7112s	typically see characters like Z or
7116s	potentially Hardy or kylin going for
7120s	that drop as opposed to something like
7122s	the zipping zipping typically works
7125s	better in those multi-way early game
7127s	fights you go for the hot Drop and look
7128s	to try and get as many kills as you can
7130s	early on utilizing your your sustain and
7134s	your ability to use your ultimate
7136s	earlier than 100% at 70% and uh just
7140s	living through everything as players
7142s	typically don't really have the the
7144s	damage to truly burst you down as in
7147s	Immortal War you can't you can't expect
7150s	to be finding High tier Weaponry off the
7153s	rip as often as you would in a normal
7155s	rank game but we've uh definitely gone
7158s	past that point we're going to be going
7160s	into the realm of Yang Moxy ASC versus
7164s	X1 you want to Wang take it
7168s	away versus vda who is going to be able
7171s	to come away with the win both of these
7173s	players just going for the ranged
7174s	weapons to try chip some of this armor
7177s	away before the fight properly can start
7180s	the pillars and the skish is going to be
7182s	interested but it is going to beanan
7183s	who's able to find the connection into
7185s	skish into jump lmb with those fist
7188s	blades as well as the purple frame of
7190s	the charged lmb managing to just catch
7193s	the vder at max range he's making sure
7196s	that this vder is not going to be able
7198s	to find that long sword Carousel combo
7200s	coming on through combo breaker has been
7202s	invested Wang now finding the grapple
7204s	bump into uppercut extension into
7207s	horizontal catch will be able to keep
7210s	the juggle going and Jan yuan is going
7214s	to fall before he can even cast his
7216s	ultimate there te star on the zip is now
7219s	going head-to-head against Kayla's T25
7222s	star has got one kill on the board T5
7225s	using that blow Focus to armor through
7227s	the uppercut extension that star was
7229s	searching for as the con generic
7232s	attempted to come through the grapple B
7234s	into horizontal follow from the zip the
7238s	ultimate as well to dodge out of the
7240s	Liam ultimate but T25 is going to be
7242s	able to teleport back behind the pillar
7244s	and by the spacing as S com through with
7247s	that zip sustainability and has a
7249s	significant lead in terms of overall
7251s	health as T25 is an absolute sliver away
7255s	he's going to go down to saw just
7257s	dropping on his head with the jump lmb
7260s	mid air that is rough to see
7263s	unfortunately T25 not able to capitalize
7266s	on either of his oric swords from that
7269s	ultimate oh my goodness though we'll
7271s	talk more on that in a moment woong
7273s	absolutely gaming right now catching
7276s	arano on that building getting that
7278s	Parry into the huge followup here and
7281s	trying to chase down arano trying to
7283s	chase down this zipping maned to break
7285s	away into this this uh these buildings
7289s	into this group of uh of terrain making
7293s	it all that much more difficult for
7294s	wufong to actually hold him down
7297s	especially as a zipping with that extra
7298s	little bit of stamina on that F
7300s	activation but instead we're going to be
7302s	going over to
7304s	T225 fighting for his life alongside
7307s	shanan both of these players with Yang
7309s	depletion T225 thankfully able to
7312s	that heal off able to get that reset and
7316s	then immediately capitalize on the or
7318s	sword activation there now turning it
7320s	around both of these players don't have
7322s	any activations on their ultimate
7324s	remaining T225 at a slight Health
7325s	disadvantage he does have these
7327s	nunchucks and he's doing a good job of
7329s	denying a lot of pressure from the F
7331s	fist blades both of these players now
7333s	getting that full reset G25 with the
7335s	slight overhaul Janan eating a chunk of
7338s	damage T25 going for that jump par but
7340s	getting hit in the back getting punished
7342s	for it goes for the pistol shot and now
7344s	looking for the reset again but sh one
7346s	looking to deny looking to try and force
7348s	the issue but unfortunately is going to
7350s	pay the price forced to use that combo
7353s	breaker T225 certainly in Advantage
7355s	State catches him does he catch him on
7357s	the Rock he does indeed does not release
7360s	that horizontal block sends the lmb tech
7364s	Chase on the rolls catches him on the
7367s	wake up and takes him down tt25 is going
7371s	to be the one to walk away from that
7373s	fight but who's walking away from this
7375s	one Mony cuz this one looks a little bit
7377s	hectic y there are three players
7380s	currently embroiled with another one on
7383s	the sidelines waiting to just seize the
7386s	opportunity spider is going to utilize
7389s	the launch on that staff to carry
7391s	himself out of this fight does still
7394s	have that Vilan Birds might but we are
7396s	past the minus 45 seconds left on the
7400s	buff doesn't want to risk the fight
7402s	going too long especially up against
7404s	that zip where the fight does have the
7406s	potential of lasting until that buff has
7408s	worn out and he goes down as familian
7411s	birs might runs out he's got 19 seconds
7414s	left he's literally just going to let
7416s	the kill come through to guarantee that
7419s	he continues in this Lobby any longer
7421s	and he risk dying after the buff had one
7425s	I especially with the third player of
7428s	shuang waiting in the wings to find that
7430s	third party star already on four kills
7433s	and something to note as well is that
7435s	star zipping games in the past have been
7438s	absolutely Stellar he has mvpd with this
7441s	character on this map for good reason as
7445s	we're going to have a look at a replay
7447s	jl's AIS versus wvg spider on that tamy
7451s	versus Liam spider tries to come in
7454s	through forces the combo break now from
7456s	that Liam a going to be putting himself
7458s	into the sky swaps over to that before
7461s	thinking about dropping down for the
7462s	charged R&B spider backs off which
7464s	allowed the bow swop to come out but
7466s	spider now with the charge vertical
7468s	baits the red Flash and turns directly
7471s	onto AIS with the lights the second that
7474s	he sees the red finds the interruption
7476s	with the scill rush as well a tries to
7478s	come in through with the oric sword triy
7481s	to look for the scar connection from
7483s	both of these players now Dodges away
7485s	before the T can find that whis but the
7487s	ultimate is going to lock him down
7489s	entirely now doesn't have any use of his
7492s	abilities left and spider is going to be
7495s	able to catch him inside the sand walls
7498s	and walk away with the wind tamy one of
7501s	the best heroes in those One V one Yang
7504s	fights for a very good reason cuz even
7506s	if you don't get caught by the utility
7509s	the amount of space that it denies to
7511s	these players can win you the fight
7513s	regardless absolutely there's combo
7516s	breaks on such a low cool down making it
7518s	extremely hard to make use of what you
7520s	have in your kit at times
7522s	if you're not careful you're just not
7524s	really going to be able to get any value
7526s	at all and it it does I feel like it
7529s	does come down to the to the tal not
7531s	making like glaring mistakes but that
7534s	being said because of the the cool down
7536s	being so low means that you can make
7539s	certain mistakes you can do that sort of
7541s	you can get away with that sort of thing
7543s	at times but we're going to be going
7545s	into this real of Yang star against T225
7548s	I believe this is the rematch as well
7551s	star with this golden Spear and now
7554s	golden hso 225 getting chased down with
7558s	the scale rushes star swapping between
7560s	these two weapons switching up that
7562s	Tempo looking to find this jump lmbb
7565s	this aerial lmb opener into the
7567s	potential frame trap into lmb into that
7570s	uppercut combo T25 does find the oric
7573s	sword activation does get the follow up
7575s	into that slight heal T25 finding the
7577s	overhaul not able to get that punish
7579s	with that upper combo then getting it
7582s	immediately scale rushed by star who
7584s	managed to make it all the way up the
7585s	pillar oh the double tap Dodge into the
7588s	pillar there from tt25 able to then
7591s	immediately punish that lmbb from Star
7594s	but speaking of punish star finds the
7597s	parry and then punishes that combo break
7599s	from T225 star is just reading him like
7603s	a book right now the sustain coming
7606s	through making it so hard to feel as
7609s	though you're actually getting anywhere
7612s	as as a Liam in this situation you just
7614s	don't really have enough tools to really
7617s	take her down unless you find yourself
7619s	some burn damage you're not going to be
7621s	able to take her down all that well
7623s	unless they make some very big mistakes
7627s	yeah and I mean I think like knowing
7629s	that if you let the zip just go for
7632s	anything short of one second she's going
7634s	to just immediately find those gares off
7636s	of the pillar into the next F1 reset
7639s	it's putting a lot of pressure onto
7640s	these players plus there's that siren
7642s	song whenever you're playing the Liam if
7643s	you have your F available it's okay to
7645s	throw the blue you're not going to go
7647s	punished and it's it's leading a lot of
7650s	these players into going for a lot more
7652s	of these Focus right commits that these
7654s	players not on the Liam are taking
7656s	advantage of and punishing is that is
7657s	star now up to five kills and counting
7661s	in potentially six if he rematches up
7664s	against the same Liam T5 is not going to
7667s	want however on Yang depletion to take a
7670s	fight against the zipping especially not
7672s	a zipping with Phantom step which is an
7676s	absolute nightmare combination if you
7679s	have ever been on Yang depletion and you
7682s	run into a zip with wave roll on your
7685s	glyphs and Phantom steppers a soul my
7688s	goodness but he might run into spider
7690s	never mind he doesn't check the
7691s	invisibility Bush and instead of running
7693s	into spider runs directly past him as
7696s	he's currently trying not to make it
7698s	look too obvious that he's looking to
7700s	seek a player out because then everyone
7702s	is going to know that he's on Yang
7703s	depletion he can't let everyone in this
7706s	Lobby understand the desperation that he
7708s	is under he has to wait and hope that he
7711s	scouts out a fight that is currently in
7713s	progress unfortunately for him there is
7715s	a fight currently in progress It's just
7717s	behind him he's already kited this puff
7720s	and he's not going to run into any of
7722s	the plays because of this unless he full
7724s	double backs that is rough he might be
7727s	able to make it round all the way back
7730s	around but we'll have to see for the
7732s	moment we've got almost every single
7734s	player in the lobby here 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 I
7738s	think it is everyone except for
7742s	um we just saw him oh he he's arrived
7745s	okay so it's every single player that is
7748s	insane ver being put under pressure here
7751s	forced to use that combo breaker on
7752s	these blue halberts not the best spot to
7755s	be in at this point but thankfully does
7757s	break away here a little love tap to
7759s	that player in the building you get on
7761s	my away I just want to heal leave me
7763s	alone I'm going through the window and
7764s	he does exactly that now able to heal up
7767s	and get back into the to the thick of it
7771s	T225 lurking on the edge here seeing if
7774s	he can find a way in with some of these
7776s	pistol shots and tell as who might be
7779s	low in this situation but it looks as
7781s	though it might in fact be him eats an
7783s	R&B Focus there on this drop down not
7786s	the best the entry into this Skirmish
7790s	unfortunately but no followup is going
7791s	to be coming through however chuang is
7793s	in a very bad spot himself literally on
7797s	a pixel of HP it looks as though spider
7801s	sends the cannon shot in and hit
7804s	building he wait he did I think either
7807s	he got the bloom but he just got it
7809s	denied the fact that his portra is still
7811s	orange means that he got it denied there
7813s	was another play I believe it was ug's
7816s	Mike who was able to just close up the
7818s	distance a little bit faster and T5
7821s	thanked every everything on being able
7823s	to pick up that bloom ver now is going
7825s	lower and lower still has the combo
7827s	break he's potentially going to go down
7829s	but yet again T25 is just not close
7832s	enough to get the bloom he gets denied
7834s	it by SS one's pace and he is not going
7838s	to be happy about that one because he
7839s	invested everything the ultimate the F
7842s	absolutely everything that he had
7844s	available he's not got to turn onto this
7846s	Matari in the hopes that he can do
7848s	enough damage and catch pce out Matari
7851s	one of those characters who doesn't have
7852s	a combo break he's going to come through
7854s	with that F2 to reposition as T5 has 1
7857s	minute 13 seconds to try to find this
7860s	kill and unlike the other times he can't
7862s	put himself onto the sidelines because
7864s	he's now had two blooms stolen out
7867s	beneath his noses since he was too far
7870s	away when the kills came through sadly
7873s	that means so that he's the one that
7875s	everyone in this lob is turning on too
7877s	he put himself onto the sideline because
7878s	he's so far behind in terms of equipment
7881s	he's got the blue armor if he tries to
7883s	take this one V one fight even if he
7885s	finds the kill onto Pace he's going to
7887s	go down incredibly quickly afterwards
7890s	and I don't think there's really any way
7892s	outside of a miracle that he's going to
7895s	be able to escape this as I say that
7898s	pace go so incredibly low but they're
7900s	still on top of it did he get the bloom
7903s	he got it T5 gets the bloom he didn't
7906s	get any of the equipment but he has the
7909s	staff he's going for the full up got
7912s	spam just to distance himself from the
7914s	fight but his position has been revealed
7916s	Duncan even though he's been able to
7918s	recover his health he's still getting
7921s	chased relentlessly down by everybody
7924s	else in this lobby as wo Fang is hot on
7928s	his heels and not going to let him
7931s	Escape for free he's not letting him go
7934s	for free indeed but oh my goodness T225
7938s	you absolute machine you I sry face
7942s	after that completely emotionless this
7945s	guy
7946s	is oh my goodness just he's off the
7949s	peries he's just gaming he's locked into
7952s	all hell he does not care he is uh
7957s	he good Lord what a what a clutch there
7961s	the Parry coming through the and then I
7965s	I think it was the the R&B Focus he just
7967s	sends out on that terrain and I'm oh my
7971s	God he he I was watching it just come
7973s	back here come back here baste get back
7976s	here humari give give me that Soul
7979s	finally finds it w the return of
7981s	aggression insanely insanely well played
7984s	by tt25 and now it looks as though he's
7986s	fully fully recovered although he is
7988s	being pressured he's been forced to use
7990s	his ultimate but he's uh he's found a
7992s	he's found a friend in does St no star's
7996s	got Aurora burst by the way which is how
7999s	he was able to just walk away for free
8002s	with that Spirit Well contest yeah there
8004s	it is he waited for the zone as well to
8006s	try and just hostage situation these
8008s	players in to that corruption damage or
8011s	potentially the Hang sword follow
8013s	through his T5 is still being pressured
8017s	by the rest of this Lobby we've got a
8018s	twin shot boun shell coming through from
8021s	one of these cannons on the other side
8023s	as well as T25 literally just having to
8025s	spam the offer card on that staff and
8028s	keep himself moving he's putting himself
8030s	directly into the Moon B puff as well in
8033s	the hopes that it's going to deter these
8036s	players from trying to catch onto him
8037s	the garish will be able to find the ZIP
8039s	into the one two light Stager lock down
8041s	manages to go for the overhaul charge
8043s	RMB into the purple frame two to catch
8046s	the zip as well and St has taken enough
8048s	damage that he backs away from this
8050s	fight and T5 is able to get a little bit
8054s	more breathing room as none of these
8057s	players want to risk going too low
8060s	because of that ban bre even saw on that
8063s	zipping cuz he has locked in try get
8065s	that overall MVP he's got five kills
8068s	he's got a legendary long sword
8070s	nunchucks hang sword and Aurora breast
8073s	if we go to heal off this Zing even
8077s	though Wang is still around on this vda
8079s	might be able to land the silence before
8081s	the vda can use the V2 to win the kill
8085s	multiplier indeed another another player
8088s	or another couple players who looking to
8089s	try and make it all the way to this end
8091s	game game are woong and spider neither
8095s	of these players have any interest in
8097s	wandering around and getting focused
8098s	down by star star is just constantly on
8101s	the hunt looking to see if he can find
8104s	oh a little bit of betrayal over there I
8105s	just saw spider uppercutting W get out
8107s	get out of
8110s	here but star he's just on the hunt as
8113s	he does have that white tigers prowess
8115s	he knows he has that golden armor swap
8118s	ready to go in a moment's notice as it
8120s	is it is locked for every other player
8122s	in the lobby nobody else can go over
8124s	there and grab it for themselves it is
8126s	his own personal armor swap waiting to
8129s	be picked up whenever he needs it so he
8133s	has a full agency to just do whatever he
8136s	wants and play extremely aggressive
8138s	especially considering that he is on
8140s	that zipping so he's going to have that
8141s	inherent sustain combined with the white
8143s	tet prow and combined with the fact that
8145s	he has the armor swap he just has no
8148s	cares in the world he can just do
8150s	whatever and that is ex what he's
8152s	continuing to do now looking to try and
8153s	pressure down wuang the optimal Target
8156s	it is indeed the valda the valda that
8158s	should never make it to end game another
8161s	reason why wuang was hiding away in that
8163s	bush as he did not want to get focused
8165s	down leading up to this point and he
8167s	knows that if these other players see
8169s	him you know they they've certainly
8171s	started catching on but you can't be
8173s	allowing B to get the end game as that
8175s	V2 those of you at home who don't know
8178s	V2 gives you a massive Shield and it's
8182s	not just armor you know it's a shield
8184s	that acts as HP so if you make it to
8187s	those end zones if you're in the storm
8189s	and you activate your ultimate that's
8192s	2,200 Shield or 2,200 effective bonus
8196s	Health that you can utilize to
8198s	essentially just stay alive in that
8200s	situation that's the V2 that got forc
8203s	there it is blue thing had to burn the
8207s	V2 we've still got 2 minutes and 40
8209s	seconds he's going to be out of his
8211s	ultimate in a moment or two he might be
8215s	able to build another one but now that
8217s	these players have seen that valda seen
8220s	those Spears being thrown they're going
8222s	to be looking for the pressure it looks
8224s	like wuang is going to try and pressure
8225s	another player who's a little bit lower
8228s	in terms of the hierarchy of loot in the
8230s	lobby and the hopes that it turns
8232s	everyone else onto them instead but Mike
8234s	able to come through with the charge L&B
8236s	on that dagger will be able to connect
8237s	onto the VA of wuang having chased out
8241s	the Intruder is now going to be able to
8242s	give himself a little bit of a reset
8244s	inside that t before swapping on over to
8247s	the P utilizing the charged R&B is
8249s	getting to run around with that Focus
8251s	armor as it looks like no one really
8254s	wants to take a fight until the heal off
8257s	starts to begin everyone more than happy
8260s	to just Zone everybody else away from
8263s	them as we can see the charged R&B is
8265s	the cannon shots every single one of the
8268s	charged rmvs from spider coming on
8270s	through with this staff but star is
8272s	going to be the one benefiting the most
8274s	out of this this end game as well as
8278s	that jump par on to spider who was being
8280s	a little bit too over eager with the
8283s	legendary sta Focus H Wang is going to
8285s	Showcase one of the Jes that he had in
8287s	the back pocket being Cavalry Bloom as
8289s	he forces OG's Mike into investing that
8292s	Hardy V2 so that he can go into the sky
8294s	and Dodge away from just being swept
8297s	Into the Storm of that corruption damage
8300s	but now that his UL has been forced he's
8302s	going to have to get pretty aggressive
8304s	otherwise these players are potentially
8305s	going to turn onto him no one is still
8308s	focusing the VA down Wang is 63% of the
8312s	way to his next ultimate and SAR is not
8314s	going to let that stand out comes the
8316s	Hep finding the connection onto the valo
8318s	wo Fang does try to find another
8320s	connection onto the Cavalry Bloom it's a
8322s	little bit too telegraphed though he's
8324s	shown it in the pocket one too many
8326s	times Mike will be able to find the
8327s	parry and whing his will KN stop onto
8330s	that legendary pord s going incredibly
8332s	low these players spotted out the zip
8334s	they know that he has a reverse in the
8337s	back pocket and spider Returns the favor
8339s	of the Parry all that time ago and tries
8342s	to make sure that Aurora bre does not
8344s	see puru but unfortunately dunk is what
8347s	we for it has happened Wang with the
8349s	damage and the pr that he's been able to
8351s	find has B the V2 back into the mix he
8354s	finds the SP connection onto ug's mik he
8357s	takes himself away from the other two
8358s	plays to pick up the soul blim and get
8360s	the heal fre reset cuz he knows he's
8362s	still going to be able to win the heal
8364s	off at the very tail end of this game
8367s	goodness the last hit
8369s	onto lives K's T25 and the moldo walks
8374s	away with the
8377s	win oh my goodness
8382s	T225 my guy he thought it was over he
8386s	thought the clock had ticked down to
8389s	zero I believe he just he just stood
8391s	there he just he thought it was over he
8394s	thought that he wasn't going to be able
8395s	to take any damage and so he just
8397s	thought okay just hands off the keyboard
8399s	oh wait oh
8401s	no and then he gives up a kill and
8405s	woong comes out on top with the
8408s	valer back to back is that
8412s	the I think gets the MVP will St gets
8415s	the MVP but he got so many kills he was
8418s	on four and then he got the kill on to
8421s	Mike he got the kill
8424s	on to
8426s	TD5 like remember all of the fs that we
8430s	talked about at the beginning of the
8431s	broadcast where we were like we we we
8433s	can't keep letting the vda just sit on
8436s	the V2 in the Healer situation and
8440s	that's why like he was able to remove
8443s	himself from the fight he had so much HP
8445s	because he had the V2 that he was
8447s	literally able to meander on over to
8450s	Mike body and pick up the soul Bloom to
8453s	get the health reset and then he could
8456s	just throw the next Spear and get the
8458s	last hit on another player and get
8460s	another Soul Bloom reset and then live
8463s	the entire duration while still being
8466s	able to find the kill onto K's T25 this
8469s	is why we said that vder is so immensely
8472s	strong inside those heal off situations
8475s	but let's see whether or not tradition
8477s	is going to continue actually you know
8479s	what compared to question number one
8481s	this one's a little bit easier how many
8483s	players chose valder in game number two
8486s	was it A1 was it B2 was it C3 or was it
8491s	D4 and if you know the hero rules in
8494s	terms of those picks and bands in phases
8497s	for solo mvpl you can already entirely
8501s	raise one of those answers which makes
8504s	it even easier but oh my goodness we we
8508s	please we have to stop seeing it it
8511s	looked like it was going so well they
8512s	saw the vder they forced the V2 and then
8515s	they just led her progress back into
8517s	another ultimate
8519s	entirely yep I don't know I feel I think
8522s	all of the players in that end and in
8525s	that end game got a little bit
8526s	complacent they saw the valder ultimate
8528s	get popped early on and thought okay
8530s	that's fine okay she's she's out of the
8533s	picture now we're fine but he knew that
8537s	all he had to do was continue to do as
8539s	much damage as possible and try and get
8542s	that Al back and he was just he was just
8545s	an absolute fiend running around doing
8548s	sending out these Cavalry blooms blooms
8550s	yeah and just he fully regen it by the
8553s	end and I think that that was the
8554s	problem the all got forced out a little
8556s	bit too early the timing was a little
8558s	bit off even though Star had the right
8559s	idea it ended up not working out
8561s	unfortunately but taking a look at the
8563s	scoreboard Wu Fong with 11.4 game score
8567s	what a day he's having so far game
8569s	number two game number one both MVPs
8573s	definitely a much bigger lead in this
8575s	game than there was last game as there
8577s	was only a. five lead from the previous
8579s	one but spider coming in second with 6.5
8582s	star on six T225 on four AIS on 2.5 past
8586s	on two Mike on 1.5 uh orano and Fong on
8590s	one respectively and then verse and
8592s	chuang on
8594s	0.5 a uh pretty decent oh a decent chunk
8599s	separating first and second but not that
8601s	big of a difference uh from second
8604s	downwards but here we are looking at the
8606s	total standings of uh of game one and
8610s	two combined Fong unfortunately is just
8613s	not having a good day only 1.5 points on
8616s	the board and then you look at the other
8618s	end X1 woong two MVPs
8623s	17.9 spiders in second with
8625s	8.5 that's insane that is actually a
8629s	massive gap for Wong good on you big dog
8632s	that is exactly what you want on yeah I
8635s	mean he's been performing really well in
8637s	the regular season but he's struggled in
8639s	the bi-weekly finals so it's really good
8642s	to get to see him overcome his nerves
8644s	and if he does sort of fall back into
8646s	that mindset he has a little bit of a
8648s	safety bubble because as you can see in
8650s	the top right of all of these boards
8652s	these players carry 20% of the points
8656s	that they were able to pick up for the
8658s	entire six games that they play from
8660s	today forward into next week's Grand
8663s	finals as we're going to see how game
8665s	number two played out with these replays
8669s	brought to you by Thunder robot and
8671s	spoilers a lot of it is going to be
8673s	woong coming through this VA one versus
8676s	one was absolutely crazy it was so clean
8680s	as well as the fact that remember it
8681s	started with both of those vas going for
8683s	the V2 and just armoring through both
8687s	managing to frame perfect councel each
8689s	other's Spears but wuang just showcasing
8692s	his Pros with that long sword to be able
8695s	to extend off of every single hit that
8699s	he's able to find his te star coming on
8701s	through with his hang sord extension
8703s	onto tt25 after burning out that combo
8707s	break as Wang scale rushing to jump
8710s	Barry onto ewg's arano making it look
8714s	absolutely gorgeous this was the moment
8715s	that T5 was able to find his Miracle
8719s	recovery that parry and getting to turn
8723s	the entire Lobby's attention onto Pace
8726s	on that Matari who did not have a com
8728s	break and wasn't able to break away and
8730s	here's the moment where went wrong for K
8733s	and oh right for the boulder the spear
8736s	comes through and like you said there
8738s	just like that little moment of standing
8741s	and then there's that attempt of a Dodge
8743s	forward but the damage has been done the
8746s	vda was able to build into another V2
8750s	and it will be another vder MVP
8752s	animation on our screen it is going to
8756s	be Wang's sixth MVP of the season but
8759s	Crosley for him it's going to be his
8761s	second of the day coming through with
8764s	the wins backto back with
8768s	2,811 damage but look at the heal stats
8771s	too
8774s	11,703 he had so many recet
8777s	opportunities yeah for sure I mean the
8780s	Val ultimate although it's although you
8783s	you pop it when you're when you you do
8785s	get reasonably low you know I don't know
8788s	I feel like you shouldn't really being
8790s	allow you shouldn't really be allowed to
8792s	heal up while your Al is active you know
8795s	it can it can act as a cover for you and
8797s	you allow you to continue fighting but
8799s	healing up while it's active is a little
8801s	bit a little bit sus G and I think that
8804s	that was definitely what happened when
8806s	he had his ultimate forced out you know
8808s	he had his ult forced out in that end
8811s	zone or leading up to it and then for
8814s	some reason the rest of the players in
8815s	the lobby decided you know it's fine you
8819s	know he doesn't have it up anymore yeah
8820s	who cares you know let's not why but
8823s	instead why didn't they just focus him
8825s	down and take him down and then
8826s	completely eliminate the threat going
8828s	into those uh those last moments but
8830s	regardless speaking of moments we're
8832s	going to be going to a short break for a
8834s	short moment we'll be back for our third
8837s	game of the day very very shortly so
8839s	don't go anywhere we will be back very
8842s	shortly
8844s	[Music]
8868s	[Music]
8870s	h
8911s	[Music]
8920s	[Music]
8927s	w
8929s	[Music]
8931s	he
8952s	[Music]
8969s	[Music]
8976s	hello and welcome back we are back I'm
8979s	joined by the lovely Moxy I'm dunking
8982s	donuts and we are going to be heading
8983s	into our third game of the day very very
8986s	soon and it has been rather explosive
8990s	especially from woong X1 Wu Fong who a
8993s	player who as you said Moxy during the
8995s	break you told me that he had to go
8997s	through lcq those last chance qualifiers
9000s	and now coming into today with these
9002s	pre-finals he is showing up very very
9006s	well a showing a very dominant
9008s	performance so far I mean we saw it
9011s	multiple times in the realm of Yang and
9014s	outside that he just had his opponent's
9017s	number he just he was just reading them
9019s	like a book catching them on everything
9022s	and I don't know what's changed but
9024s	whatever it is he's uh you know don't
9027s	change back keep it up keep it going as
9030s	we are going to be taking 20% of these
9033s	points from these players in today's
9035s	games these preos points so to speak
9038s	forwards into the big finals next
9042s	weekend so the more points you managed
9044s	to accumulate today the better yeah I
9048s	mean I think a part of it is just the
9050s	fact that he was able to experience this
9052s	new patch a little bit faster than some
9054s	of these other players right cuz if you
9057s	think about it he's been able to MVP but
9059s	he's mvpd with Heroes that we've seen
9062s	have changes he's MVP with the hottie
9066s	he's MVP with the valda valda obviously
9068s	having really big changes coming for uh
9071s	and allowing that V2 much more power as
9075s	well as Hardy having a little bit of
9078s	difference in terms of the timing that
9079s	you have to have coming inside and
9082s	outside of your ultimate uh in terms of
9084s	being able to Fred back and in and out
9087s	of those fights and I think like just
9089s	having that opportunity to sort of
9091s	acclimatize himself to new end game as
9095s	well as positioning and that sort of
9097s	Target priority list which has since had
9100s	a big mixup because we have to remember
9103s	we didn't have a single kyin in that
9106s	final Zone and I think that was one of
9108s	the sort of straws that broke the camels
9110s	back why those players were so reluctant
9111s	to fight there was no kyin to force the
9114s	immortality field out early so as you
9116s	were saying like in the break a lot of
9119s	those players just didn't really want to
9122s	pressure the issue the one player that
9124s	we did see pressure the issue was star
9127s	because he thought that on the zip he
9129s	would have enough sustainability that he
9131s	would be able to aggress onto a player
9134s	Force the other players around him to
9136s	look at that player and then he would be
9139s	able to slip out of the fight remove
9140s	himself from the situation before he
9143s	then got turned on to with the
9145s	additional uh move and Dodges that
9147s	you're able to find with that F1 usage
9150s	and unfortunately for him it just it
9152s	didn't work out like that he got a
9154s	little bit too aggressive he tried to to
9157s	put the pressure onto the vder and he
9159s	just got immediately disintegrated
9161s	because of uh wuang being able to find
9163s	that massive power against him but the
9166s	second the zipper died everyone sort of
9168s	simmered back down and went back to just
9170s	just guarding their own Corner more than
9172s	happy that they had the potential of
9174s	winning Koff allowing that V to BU back
9176s	into the V2 much faster than I think a
9179s	lot of those players were actually
9181s	expecting is while we have seen these
9184s	players having to keep a track of
9185s	ultimates in the past it's not quite the
9189s	same as being able to count percentage
9191s	for percentage every single hit of
9193s	damage and every single bit of damage
9195s	done to a player to accurately be able
9198s	to tell when that ultimate is coming
9199s	back online
9201s	indeed it's I it's just surprising to me
9204s	I think that yeah we I mean we've talked
9207s	about it a bit now but yeah these these
9209s	players opting to go back and defend
9211s	their own Corners I think that's yeah I
9213s	think it it just simply was that there's
9215s	a little bit of nerves go going around
9217s	you know these players just not willing
9219s	to to take those risks players just
9221s	don't want to take the initiative as it
9223s	can spell disaster for them as well you
9226s	know the you might be the one to force
9228s	out the the important cooldowns from
9230s	from specific targets but it can also
9233s	mean that you end up getting focused
9235s	down afterwards as you may have to
9237s	commit your own resources and that's not
9239s	what you want you don't want to be you
9241s	know uh committing things that you don't
9243s	need to or that you that you need moving
9246s	forward into the game but regardless
9249s	we're going to be going into our third
9250s	game of the day and we're going to be
9252s	going over to a daytime Morris Isle I
9256s	believe uh we've already had the first
9259s	and second round that now the third is
9261s	going to be coming through arano going
9263s	to be picking up the valda Fong on the
9265s	AOS a definitely a solid pick coming
9269s	through especially on mors Isle on uh on
9272s	daytime I feel like this is actually one
9273s	of the one of the better picks we've
9275s	seen Mike do so well with it in the past
9277s	we've SE quite a few players do
9279s	extremely well with this
9281s	character the the the question is though
9284s	that I I I wait I'm waiting to see is
9287s	whether or not he's going to opt to go
9288s	for the F1 or the F2 on the acos as
9291s	we've seen quite a few players just just
9294s	just swap between the two then no one
9296s	seems to know or no one seems to stick
9299s	to one option over it seems like it's
9303s	the F2 that has been preferred as of
9306s	flate but I think that's just so you can
9308s	get your your free confirmation to
9310s	something like an uppercut as well as
9313s	having yeah having that range too to be
9316s	able to try and track down some of those
9317s	low Health targets I wonder though if he
9320s	went for that acus in anticipation of
9323s	either Mike and spider going for the
9325s	acus cuz we've seen that in the past
9327s	Mike does as you say like playing the
9330s	acos on Morris aisle and there have been
9333s	days that have passed in this season
9336s	where Mike and spider have been on acus
9338s	at the same time on this map just as we
9341s	saw a lot of those players pushing
9343s	towards things like the zip in
9344s	anticipation of Mike picking the zip for
9347s	game number one unfortunately no other
9349s	Acres is going to be pix Fang is going
9351s	to be on his own he's going to be opting
9353s	for the F1 rather than the F2 as we do
9357s	have ver opting for the combo break of
9359s	that Justina on the F2 V1 which has been
9363s	something that fun actually ironically
9366s	enough has brought in utilizing the
9369s	combo break on the Justina to get
9370s	himself into a lot of those multi-wave
9372s	fights as well as being able to break
9375s	away when he bites off a little bit more
9377s	than the Justina kinchu
9380s	indeed uh surprisingly though we're
9382s	actually going to get two kyin here both
9385s	uh not and oh actually I was about to
9387s	say both of these players go for V1 but
9388s	that's not the case I believe that Mike
9391s	is actually going to stick to the V2
9393s	interestingly and I'm very interested to
9395s	see how well he's going to perform with
9397s	this pick as quite frankly I haven't
9400s	been able to really tell how big the
9403s	enough has has been for kylin as I've
9406s	just not seen him in my games I've not
9408s	seen him although I have Haven really
9410s	played all that much in the past few
9411s	days as I've been a bit under the
9413s	weather that's why I also missed the lcq
9415s	but it's still you know after the after
9418s	the Nerf I didn't see kylin at all I
9419s	think I saw one of them in in two days
9422s	worth of I still see him in deos he's
9426s	he's still around in Deers with uh ZIP a
9429s	lot and like especially given the fact
9431s	that they minimize the dash distance on
9433s	his V2 it it sort of allowed the zip to
9436s	be able to keep up with him much better
9437s	but that is in group play as opposed to
9441s	solo play so you are still going to be
9443s	able to use your dashes to chase in some
9444s	of these targets but nowh near as much
9447s	as you had in the past especially
9448s	multiway fighting as we're going to be
9450s	seeing spider and Pace going head
9451s	to-head off of the rip Pace looking to
9453s	try and find these parries does man to
9455s	land one Focus hit onto spider make that
9458s	two as spider is able to work out the
9461s	timing of when pace is going to commit
9464s	we go for the back to back fre Pits on
9466s	the focus he does find the Parry but he
9468s	unfortunately does not find the kill
9471s	speaking about finding bong has already
9473s	been able to find himself purple armor
9476s	on this AOS hasn't taken a fight just
9479s	yet looks like he's going to go for a
9480s	little bit more of a slow bur in terms
9483s	of the loot that he's picking up as pace
9486s	is going to try and take this fight
9488s	we're going to see the F1 invested the
9490s	chared R&B on the fan now comes on F as
9493s	Pace actually commits the full hit the
9497s	backto back focus strikes from that Tel
9500s	with the follow up being sent out it is
9504s	so unusual that we actually see those
9506s	being sent through we weren't expecting
9509s	it Fong definitely wasn't expecting it
9511s	as all of that purple armor
9514s	evaporates yeah indeed and this is
9517s	actually pasted playing off of the Buffs
9520s	that were made to Katana the the R&B the
9524s	the vertical Focus followup after a a
9526s	focus attack has been buffed so that
9528s	it's just so much faster now and to see
9532s	it actually catch him off guard multiple
9533s	times there it certainly speaks to how
9536s	much of an improvement it has been or it
9539s	has made for Katana here or OG's mik it
9542s	looks as though he's still making V2
9545s	kylin work here able to secure his
9549s	second kill of the game Mike heaing up
9552s	extremely quickly so far in our third
9555s	game just now going for that reset going
9558s	to be disengaging healing up and
9561s	potentially looking to uh to slow down a
9563s	little bit but perhaps not as he's
9565s	spotted out this Skirmish taking place
9567s	here between Chong T25 and Fong T25 able
9572s	to secure the kill for himself here
9574s	finding the elimination onto chuong
9576s	chuong going down I believe he still has
9580s	his second life available so he's not
9582s	down for the count just yet Mike looking
9585s	to get involved here finds the Parry the
9588s	180 eyes in the back of his head
9590s	swapping over to that spear sending the
9593s	vertical blue Focus one charge the
9595s	single hit Focus attack to be extremely
9599s	optimal here and to make sure that no
9601s	combo breaker comes through to deny some
9604s	of that follow-up damage off of that
9606s	Parry Mike now forc to find looking to
9608s	try and disengage now Wong is coming
9611s	into the mix as well having complet that
9613s	ultimate looking to see if he can make
9615s	something happen the Parry coming
9616s	through Mike gets it turned onto him but
9619s	he immediately disengages with that
9621s	combo breaker able to deny that damage
9624s	and I think that wuang also has to break
9626s	away or at least for the moment he finds
9629s	a par on to T25 that vertical blue Focus
9632s	coming in yet again and T225 is now on
9635s	the defensive yeah combo breaker from
9637s	the hard invested finds the Parry on to
9639s	Mike unfortunately does go incredibly
9642s	low but he does manage to with the Parry
9644s	damage from Mike turned the players
9647s	attentions temporarily off of him not
9649s	enough to get a full reset because the
9651s	ultimate was not available as it now
9653s	becomes a One V one wuang versus Fong
9656s	pong going to come through with that a
9658s	ultimate finds one grab onto woong tries
9661s	to find those tiger clo to set up
9664s	manages to go for the double jump right
9667s	over Wang's hits does still have one
9670s	grab manages to find that second
9672s	connection unfortunately gets griefed
9675s	out of the follow through by the terrain
9678s	of wh now with the or sword and that
9680s	longl lasting ultimate is able to find
9682s	the uppercut connection with those dual
9684s	hals but F scaring with that fan man
9687s	just to put himself through the window
9689s	frame onto those rocks into the grapple
9692s	into horizontal movement continuing Oho
9695s	cleanly we praised it on holl off we're
9698s	going to praise it again unfortunately
9700s	though he is going to get stunned in
9702s	place by the Liam and that leads into
9705s	the CH R&B on the hang on the hirts does
9708s	come through with the F1 but but is not
9710s	going to be able to break away from the
9711s	fight long enough for wuang to be able
9714s	to pick up that kill as Pace just trying
9717s	to finish off this fight against Juan
9719s	Yuan on this hard has the burn damage
9722s	going through manches to find the triple
9724s	charge connection and Jan Yuan will fall
9728s	and take his place back onto one of
9731s	those Soul alter repositions as we saw a
9734s	little bit of a slower burn in game
9736s	number two but it looks like everyone is
9738s	back to fighting right off of the rip
9741s	before these first real of yank spawn up
9743s	in game number three indeed speaking of
9746s	we have AIS and aano scrapping it out
9749s	here AIS in a bit of a a oh he's in the
9751s	danger zone he gets taken down there by
9754s	arano a critical HP situation
9757s	unfortunately not able to disengage
9760s	arano finding him with that quick fan
9763s	upper cut and taking him down close by
9767s	looks as though Mike has been looting up
9769s	in the storm trying to recover his game
9772s	currently with two
9775s	eliminations kill leader at the moment
9778s	on that kylin perhaps going to be uh
9780s	wandering over to the realm of Yang or
9783s	perhaps instead looking to find himself
9786s	a purple armor in the shop although I
9789s	will be surprised if it's still there at
9792s	this point as the the macro strategies
9796s	the uh the the big picture decision
9798s	making from a lot of these players will
9800s	lead them to try and secure that purple
9803s	armor earlier or as early as possible as
9806s	there's only one in the shop available
9810s	is this Deja Vu we just saw exactly the
9813s	same kiting path take place twice in a
9815s	row for verse chuong trying desperately
9819s	to lock him down but this slippery
9821s	Justina the ice just falling off him
9824s	he's trying his best to find him but
9827s	he's just getting it turned around and
9830s	fully denied ver oh there he is he was
9833s	behind him the real of real of Yang
9837s	indeed what do we have here mon we got
9840s	X1 and ss1 again I swear to I oh my
9844s	goodness again take it away Moxy it's
9847s	looking pretty even so far it is
9849s	definitely looking pretty even in terms
9851s	of L both of these players come through
9853s	with peram against the Hardy Wang able
9856s	to find the scaron to charge R&B thinks
9858s	hopping over to the pistol mag find
9860s	another connection into the charge R&B
9862s	has to utilize the combo breaker to
9863s	break away from that confirmed offer cut
9865s	extension finds the power up against
9868s	Pace to force the combo breaking now
9869s	coming through from the hard he's going
9871s	to B into the ultimate as Wang tried to
9874s	use the ultimate to catch onto him to
9877s	chase where that combo breaker led the
9879s	Hardy into ending up both of these
9882s	players now getting a full reset as Wang
9886s	charges up the pole sword doesn't manage
9888s	to find the con now he gets the first St
9890s	hit of the R&B connecting onto Pace as
9893s	he drops out of the Hardy ultimate
9895s	around the edge of that pillar Wang does
9898s	get parried but manages to keep himself
9900s	in play with the F ability coming in
9902s	through from that Liam puts himself onto
9905s	the very top of this pillar zoning away
9907s	the Hardy potentially looking to find
9910s	that chase Connection in with the scale
9912s	Rush man just to get one Shield pot off
9915s	with 35 seconds and both of these
9916s	players looking for the connection the
9918s	hard looking for the Parry a little bit
9920s	too early Wang with the overh hold will
9921s	be able to find the connection now he
9923s	has to deal however with the hord pace
9925s	is going to go for the overh hold into
9927s	the horizontal try to find the uppercut
9929s	connection but it's going to get dodged
9930s	away from with the combo break coming
9932s	through but wuang managing to find the
9935s	win overall with the overh hold he does
9939s	indeed wuang is gaming today Chad he's
9943s	gaming three kills three eliminations
9947s	under his Bel already he's
9950s	I I don't know what else to say no words
9952s	wufong is feeling himself and he is
9955s	definitely keeping up that momentum the
9958s	question is will it last as we've seen
9960s	time and time again in trios and in
9962s	solos players doing extremely well and
9965s	then all of a sudden falling short
9967s	running out of gas and just running on
9970s	fumes at a certain point and they it
9973s	just sort of ends up falling flat but
9975s	the bigger lead that he can create for
9976s	himself early on the better but with
9979s	we're heading on over to celestra ug's
9981s	mic in a bit of a sticky situation on
9984s	white armor but not very much of it only
9986s	a sliver of armor available to him
9990s	having been chased down by multiple
9992s	players here and now it looks as though
9994s	T225 is going to be picking up that
9996s	chase trying to find Mike oh a nice
9999s	little purple fan coming out of a weapon
10001s	rack quick tip again chat ladies and
10004s	gentlemen these Little Weapon racks that
10007s	you see sitting around just all over the
10009s	map if you break them there is a chance
10011s	that you get a purple weapon out of them
10013s	I don't think I've ever seen a legendary
10015s	one but you can definitely get an epic
10017s	Rarity a purple Rarity weapon out of
10020s	these weapon Rags so it's always worth
10022s	it to destroy them as uh you could get
10026s	get lucky and get a decent upgrade for
10029s	yourself as we just saw TTV 5 able to
10031s	pick up that bubble fan but moving on
10033s	over we've got ss1 fpx zq verse arano
10037s	and juanan all all circling in this area
10041s	Pac seemingly the target Moxy but is he
10044s	going to make it out alive as it's not
10046s	looking too good for him oh he's got
10048s	Yang defle too he does have the ultimate
10051s	he's going to come through with it now
10052s	but there are so many players in the
10054s	area Dodgers one make that two Justina
10057s	dashes make that three this Justina is
10061s	absolutely desperate to connect onto
10063s	this Hardy we also in the area
10066s	unfortunately for T25 he's not he's
10070s	still over towards ceras Janan with the
10073s	Yang depletion is forced into the zone
10076s	to try to take chase down where exactly
10079s	this Hardy has ended up now that that V2
10081s	has burned on through they'll still have
10085s	that Val V2 isn't in the greatest shape
10087s	when it comes to equipment however so
10089s	he's going to have to be very careful
10091s	about how he enters the fight doesn't
10092s	want to be on the front line wants to be
10093s	on the rooftop goes for the drop down
10095s	charged R&B does manage to take a player
10098s	down doesn't get the kill confirmation
10100s	but crucially managed to pick up the
10103s	bloom he's going to utilize the combo
10104s	break swaps over to the cannon puts
10106s	himself a little bit closer to that zone
10108s	in the hopes of being able to disappear
10110s	unnoticed when these players turn on to
10112s	everybody else who was still on that
10114s	front line fight has the VA V2 might be
10116s	able to confirm the kill onto verse he's
10119s	gone incredibly low no ewg Zano yet
10122s	again is going to be able to find the
10124s	kill confirmation but xan Yuan has found
10128s	all he needed he's got himself into a
10130s	purple invisibility Bush he can
10132s	potentially break away unnoticed from
10134s	all of these players as she talked by T5
10136s	able to find a purple Rarity fan
10138s	unfortunately for him he needs to find a
10141s	legendary Rarity Soul blo because these
10143s	players in celestri can kite and kite
10146s	and kite can he find the kill or is he
10149s	going to be the one to go down J's ALS
10152s	will go down but unfortunately for T5 is
10156s	just the same Deja Vu is on H the kill
10160s	comes through but he's not close enough
10162s	spider grabs the bloom directly in front
10164s	of him and he just goes out almost
10166s	immediately afterwards spider with the
10168s	grapple bump extension might be able to
10170s	find another kill on to shushan he's
10172s	definitely looking for it with the
10173s	investment of that Matari F2 but now
10175s	he's up against the zip who has that
10177s	sustain as well as the cliff side to
10178s	scale Rush away from the fight he does
10181s	indeed looks as though we might be going
10184s	back to neutral for the moment spider
10187s	canceling that ultimate to be able who
10189s	have that F2 ability that F thrusting
10193s	attack available to him if need be but
10197s	it looks as though it's not going to be
10199s	needed and now we're going to be heading
10200s	over to the realm of Yang X1 wufong the
10205s	uh the MVP for the day so far quite
10208s	literally as he's gotten two MVPs so far
10212s	in our first two games game number three
10213s	and is looking pretty good for him so
10215s	far as well ver going to be going up
10218s	against him golden f eating a chunk of
10220s	damage on the drop down after this
10221s	grapple verse replying sending that one
10224s	two o woong sends that horizontal uh
10228s	that nunchuck stone for release with the
10231s	R&B in the opposite direction able to
10233s	get a little bit of Chip damage as well
10236s	but uh not all that much to capitalize
10238s	on their verse and wuon going back and
10241s	forth trading out Shield HP ver does
10245s	find him with this R&B Focus clipping
10247s	him and on the drop down catches that
10249s	jump R&B now verse still holding this
10253s	fan R&B trying to bait those pares
10255s	manages to get one now the ultimate the
10257s	oric sword is going to be coming out
10259s	catching him beautifully oh my goodness
10263s	Wong you machine catches him off of that
10267s	old activation hold dodging the
10269s	knockback catches catches him put him in
10272s	that combo and taking him down or going
10274s	into the second round of Yang it is
10276s	almost over I believe as xuan is in a
10279s	dire situation but he's turning it
10281s	around star getting caught on this with
10284s	this combo with this honga now looking
10286s	for the heal te star trying to deny this
10289s	reset sending those cannon shots at the
10292s	pillar as it does do Splash damage
10294s	through this terrain star getting caught
10296s	in the air though the grapple bomb into
10297s	the R&B into the R&B Focus as well star
10300s	he's pulling out the CLE what are you
10302s	doing no put it away pull out your sword
10306s	buddy you want turning it around oh you
10309s	can see his face on the camera he did
10312s	not mean to pull out the
10314s	cannon shanan will be able to find the
10319s	kill and come out the winner and
10322s	potentially picking up which buff does
10324s	he offer white tiger part no Draco storm
10327s	going to be picked up for either of
10328s	these players even though it does
10329s	refresh your ultimate as we're going to
10332s	be seeing tar and fpx is verus now hit
10335s	with Yang depletion having to track
10338s	around hoping to run into these players
10340s	good news for them Zone has pushed
10342s	everyone out of celestra unfortunately
10345s	for them there is not a lot of players
10348s	left in this Lobby we are down to seven
10352s	and they're probably all going to be
10354s	stacked on top of each other because
10356s	everyone is going to be trying to take
10358s	advantage of the aggression that Yang
10360s	depletion is going to be putting these
10362s	two players in the lobby under as you
10365s	can immediately see Star shows up to
10367s	money spot and gets to turned on to
10369s	almost immediately by the two players in
10373s	the vicinity both Wong andan Yuan who
10377s	are the current buff holders so he does
10381s	not want to take a fight against these
10384s	two players with white Tiger's pass and
10387s	has to keep himself moving he's still
10388s	got four minutes but he's going to have
10391s	to just kite and hope that he runs in to
10394s	a better Target as we have one vder in
10398s	the L still on the actually we have two
10400s	volders in the lobby still foran as well
10404s	as AR which are two players that you do
10406s	not want to take a fight against vers
10408s	going to be able to find ug's Mike on
10410s	this Justina does still have that
10412s	ultimate he's losing a lot of his shield
10415s	to the damage coming on through from
10416s	OG's Mike so much so that he's actually
10418s	forced into a full reset and Mike is
10421s	able to come through with the lmb on
10424s	that dagger could have been way worse
10426s	because that terrain was on the slope
10427s	thankfully for vers just going to be a
10429s	swap over to that Cannon so that Mike
10431s	doesn't find any extra juggle frames
10434s	coming on through from the downhill but
10437s	he's not going to be able to find the
10438s	power on to the charge R&B on the fan
10440s	has to utilize the combo break now comes
10441s	on through with the V2 versus going to
10443s	throw through the F2 to make sure that
10445s	he gets a little bit of a recet
10446s	opportunity as well as taking down some
10448s	of the duration of that KY ultimate
10450s	before he comes through with his V1 get
10453s	clipped though by the kylin V2 doesn't
10456s	get clipped by the spirit walk does
10458s	manage to you like one of those Justina
10459s	dashes to avoid that fall for but it's
10462s	been two minutes on this Yang depletion
10465s	he's about to run out of the ultimate
10467s	he's going so incredibly low his health
10469s	bar is getting affected by the
10471s	corruption six damage he's had to go for
10472s	a gray armor reset and Mike is able to
10476s	come on through with so much damage
10478s	pressuring from both of these players
10480s	bur however with one last catch onto the
10483s	kyin was able to try and come through
10485s	with that charged R&B on the fan Mike
10488s	sensing that versus Under too much
10490s	pressure has figured out that this is a
10492s	play on Yang depletion and has gone into
10494s	fight or flight mode and he has much
10497s	preferring the L puts himself into that
10498s	building to be able to get the full R
10500s	off looks for the Parry has the combo
10502s	break so even if he M times the red
10503s	there is absolutely no punishment tried
10505s	to scare her through the window
10506s	unfortunately gets clipped a little bit
10508s	on the door frame but he is in full kite
10510s	mode he knows that ver doesn't have the
10513s	ultimate he knows that ver doesn't have
10515s	the time to just back off the fight and
10517s	go for the reset and Mike is more than
10519s	happy to take full
10521s	advantage absolutely another reason as
10523s	well to why he's trying to force this
10526s	reset I imagine is simply because he
10528s	knows that verse went for this armor
10530s	swap but oh my goodness it we looked as
10533s	though we were maybe getting a reset but
10535s	no verse a little bit of a movement
10538s	error couldn't deny the heal and then
10539s	got caught in a very bad situation Mike
10541s	with a beautiful shift Parry on this fan
10545s	Focus release catching him and picking
10548s	up that elimination there taking him up
10551s	to three but uh as I was saying the
10553s	another reason why he was trying to
10555s	force this reset I believe is because
10557s	when you recognize your opponent has
10559s	used an armor swap downgrading himself
10562s	to a lower armor tier than you have if
10565s	you force the reset and you're able to
10568s	get the full reset you put yourself in
10570s	an effective Health Advantage State as
10573s	if if uh his opponent were to go for
10575s	that reset if verse were to go for it
10577s	he's only going to be able to heal up
10579s	that white armor whereas he's going to
10582s	be able to full heal a purple armor
10585s	giving himself a huge Advantage so nice
10588s	little nice little food for thought for
10590s	you in the chat if you're ever in that
10592s	kind of situation if you've got better
10594s	armor go for that reset if you can as
10596s	it's going to give you that big
10597s	Advantage but speaking of advantage and
10601s	disadvantage te star is definitely not
10604s	in an advantage state for right
10607s	now 20 I seconds and counting on the
10610s	Yang depletion he's happy to just go
10612s	into the zone and it's fitting just like
10614s	the stars in the night sky have
10616s	technically died it's just taking
10619s	millions of years for it to reach we're
10621s	going to be able to see Star
10623s	unfortunately burn out to that Yang
10626s	depletion taking himself out of the
10628s	lobby before some of these players can
10630s	find a kill as Johan will be able to
10632s	find a par onal wuang all of these
10635s	players trying to contest The Spirit
10637s	Well no one wanting the Mystic mod and
10639s	the Ultimate Reset that it provides to
10642s	go to anyone in this Lobby Mike very
10644s	much wanting that loot so that he can
10646s	immediately upgrade to the level of
10649s	everybody else around him as vda still
10652s	sitting on the V2 no one confident in
10654s	being able to create the spacing we
10656s	should remind you that these Spirit
10658s	Wells do despawn after 180 seconds if a
10661s	player is not able to pick them up
10663s	speaking picked up Mike is put onto the
10666s	floor someone just walked with a
10668s	legendary fan as Spider comes on through
10671s	with the full meter jump orano in the V2
10675s	is still going to have enough sustenance
10677s	to keep himself in the front line
10678s	contest for the spirit world even having
10680s	to go through that midad jump but he
10682s	hasn't been able to utilize any of the
10684s	ultimate to heal himself back up in
10687s	terms of the armor that he lost and
10689s	that's going to provide Jan Yuan Prime
10692s	opportunity to pick up that Spirit Well
10694s	pick up all of that loot as well as
10696s	automatically get the V2 back online
10700s	with the grab of the Mystic M these
10702s	players having sensed that The Spirit
10704s	Well was going to be picked up by
10705s	another player have since vacated the
10709s	premises and the hopes that they've
10711s	created enough distance between
10712s	themselves you don't have to out run the
10714s	player behind you you just have to run
10717s	faster than the player that they can
10718s	potentially turn on to as OG's Mike is
10720s	going to be utilizing that kyen V2 not
10723s	to put himself into a fight but to avoid
10725s	one the Bane's breath almost stoping
10729s	ewg's arano in his tracks it's going to
10732s	be ascan Yan who has them up against the
10735s	corner risks a full head of the ban
10738s	forward and wbg spider risking even more
10741s	goes into the fight Matari versus valda
10744s	in the middle of the Baines bre to try
10746s	to keep juanan a little bit more
10749s	occupied D I was going to go on to talk
10752s	about the the family meod coming through
10754s	there is Janan and uh and and the other
10757s	valda I think orano who who were
10760s	essentially protecting each other almost
10762s	on this Spirit Well proc W able to
10765s	secure it for himself and not really
10767s	looking to focus down orano even though
10769s	he was in a pretty bad spot and could
10771s	have very easily been taken down there
10773s	but as soon as it got to a certain point
10775s	Janan was very willing to turn and
10778s	backstab the fellow valda in that
10781s	situation as a Rano took a ridiculous
10784s	amount of damage from those multiple
10787s	Moon Bane hits making
10790s	extremely it's too too delicious of of
10795s	of a kill to try and to to not go for
10798s	and he does pick it upan now under a bit
10802s	of pressure being pressured down by Mike
10804s	Mike realizing that he wants to try and
10807s	focus down these valers in this
10808s	situation especially considering that
10810s	he's trying to force someone else into
10812s	that get that lobbied situation you know
10815s	you you you're trying to force somebody
10817s	into uh into getting lobbied by the rest
10820s	of the players there but unfortunately
10822s	it's not gone his way and now he's been
10824s	forced to swap to a white armor and
10827s	might be receiving a considerable amount
10830s	of pressure from these other players in
10831s	the lobby as I believe he is the only
10833s	kylin and is certainly a good Target to
10836s	take down early on as uh in those heal
10839s	off situations K kylin does do extremely
10842s	well but it looks as though Matari is
10844s	going to be the one who to go down first
10848s	and actually this this brings me back to
10850s	uh to to a thought I had earlier on that
10853s	I wanted to continue talking about at
10855s	some point Matari getting taken down
10857s	here it's very telling and it's very
10860s	it's the perfect example of what I was
10862s	going to refer to earlier on in that
10864s	Matari is actually a u very good Target
10867s	to focus down first in these end zones
10871s	how if you force out that F cool down
10874s	she ends up being very very vulnerable
10876s	and very easy to eliminate but
10879s	interestingly enough in that in that
10881s	first game when we were talking about it
10883s	I I personally was under the impression
10885s	that in that kind of situation you would
10887s	you would want to be focusing down the
10889s	uh the hardies as the Matari but Raven
10892s	told me that or he he made me aware that
10895s	it's in fact better for the Matari in
10898s	that sort of situation to I believe
10899s	Focus down the zipping as in those heal
10902s	off situations although the the the
10905s	hardi has such a huge Advantage with
10907s	that with that fire damage
10908s	you're actually able to deny a lot of
10911s	that a lot of hard's pressure in those
10914s	end zones with Matari as your dashes
10917s	especially in Ultimate are going to um
10921s	prevent the hardies from doing what they
10923s	want to do uh and flying up into the sky
10925s	you know you can you can Dash up there
10927s	pull them out of their ultimate Dem the
10930s	hardi and deny them from being able to
10932s	make full use of their o of their
10935s	abilities and Ohan you
10939s	that's that that ends up being the case
10941s	but yeah genuine 5,000 IQ that was very
10945s	happy to do this that have been picked
10947s	up from the spirit well and he spirited
10950s	it away into that warehouse for
10952s	safekeeping he's the only one that could
10954s	have gone for it because he was the one
10956s	that got that buff but he has been
10958s	forced into using that V2 early 1 minute
10962s	and 30 seconds left is going to be a lot
10964s	harder to build the VA V2 back into the
10966s	mix as opposed to wuang who got to hold
10968s	2 minutes and 40 seconds andanan knows
10971s	that he is going to be coming under a
10973s	lot of pressure Mike with the kylin V2
10975s	going to be utilizing those dashes gets
10977s	the home run to send the vder into the
10980s	corruption six damage and we have a one
10982s	versus one can Wong come back with the
10985s	backto back to back MVPs he's got the
10989s	four kills he just has to win up against
10991s	Mike Mike doesn't have that V2 anymore
10993s	Wang's able to come through with the one
10995s	two on the fist Blades of course this
10996s	the combo break out from the kyin now as
10999s	wuang also doesn't have his combo break
11001s	but he'll have his online a lot faster
11003s	than Mike has the first place utilizes
11005s	the tap Dodges to keep himself ahead of
11007s	where this kin could potentially be
11008s	doesn't find the power that he's looking
11009s	for tries to come and through the charge
11011s	R&B gets hit into a lot of the damage
11014s	with these nchu Burns for the combo
11016s	break neither of these players having
11018s	those ultimates W looking for the jump
11020s	lmbs with the fist blades but Mike able
11023s	to come back on through with the kyin
11025s	comat break to send wuang back into the
11027s	Zone forces him to SC back into the
11029s	corruption D and mik is able to catch
11034s	him what a from Mike the facing that he
11040s	fored the risk that he took utilizing
11044s	that combo break aggressively rather
11046s	than defensively to understand that even
11049s	if the corruption damage did not kill
11052s	the Liam it would force the Liam into
11055s	having to invest so much of that
11057s	movement and S stamina into escaping the
11060s	storm damage and returning back to him
11063s	and he could just camp with the
11064s	nunchucks the second that Wong landed in
11067s	his
11068s	lap that was so unbelievably well played
11072s	by mther fully utilizing that uh those
11076s	those nunchuk horizontal holds you know
11080s	nunchuk has been buffed recently but the
11083s	the horizontal hold hasn't been touched
11086s	and it's something that nunchuk nchu has
11089s	uh has available to them it's somewhat
11092s	unique although it can be compared to
11094s	the gray sword and pord stone form it's
11097s	a much it's very it's different in
11099s	certain ways and in a lot of ways makes
11101s	it a lot more versatile and a much
11105s	better tool at your disposal and oh my
11108s	goodness he put it to work there having
11110s	velocity and trigger on a single soul
11113s	Jade as well off of those changes that
11115s	were made to Soul Jades quite a while
11117s	ago now you know when you have velocity
11119s	trigger uh it's just the pressure is
11123s	sometimes just insurmountable you can't
11125s	you cannot break through it at times and
11128s	some Sometimes the best solution is just
11129s	to Simply throw out focus attacks but
11132s	even then you're risking so much
11135s	especially in those those uh those very
11138s	like shoulder-to-shoulder situations in
11141s	those end zones throwing those Focus
11143s	attacks with the risk of it just being
11145s	dodged and ey framed and then you
11146s	getting punished on the recovery or
11148s	getting parried by Nunchucks of a weapon
11151s	that has a single hit Parry followup you
11155s	know it is very difficult to come out on
11159s	top in that situation regardless of the
11161s	fact that Mike was actually at a huge
11164s	Health deficit but as you said he did a
11166s	very good job of playing around his F
11169s	cooldown forcing the Liam into the Zone
11172s	making it very hard for him to come back
11174s	in and it's just full panic mode and
11177s	Mike takes full advantage of the
11179s	situation and making kylin V2 still look
11182s	pretty good not going to lie he comes
11185s	out on top there I'm not sure how many
11187s	kills he had exactly at the very end um
11191s	but it was five they both had like four
11194s	going into it and then it would
11196s	literally have been MVP decided on uh
11200s	who was able to win that 1 V one there
11202s	it is there's your confirmation wufong
11205s	denied the free ped MV
11208s	by Mike who's able to come ahead in
11210s	terms of that last one V one that
11213s	absolute Juggernaut of a match that goes
11216s	to show that Mike mechanically is a very
11219s	strong player but it's not just his
11220s	mechanics it's his macro as well being
11223s	able to take full advantage of the
11226s	spacing full advantage of the zone and
11228s	his surroundings as well as just the the
11231s	F1 every single time we saw it being
11233s	invested from the kyin it was able to do
11236s	so many d different things it wasn't
11239s	just breaking away from an extension and
11241s	more damage it was making sure to put
11243s	the Liam under even more pressure so
11245s	that he wasn't able to utilize his combo
11248s	break aggressively it was really smart
11251s	stuff coming through from Mike which
11252s	goes to show why he is the current
11254s	defending Champion not just of the Nora
11256s	blo pro league but also of the world
11259s	indeed but taking a look here at the
11260s	total standings unfortunately it's very
11263s	sad to see that Fong is still sitting at
11265s	the bottom in that bottom spot but he
11268s	good for Wu Fong he managed to create a
11271s	significant enough of a lead at the
11273s	beginning in those first two games and
11276s	uh in game three still do pretty well
11279s	six six points for game number three
11281s	that's only. five less in his first game
11283s	and that was an MVP a sign a a
11287s	significant performance from wuang
11288s	especially considering that he came into
11290s	this having gone through lcq the last
11293s	chance qualifiers he may have not made
11295s	it in for today's games but he did and
11298s	he is showing up with ferocity doing
11302s	extremely well uh unfortunately not able
11305s	to secure a third MVP in a row but hey
11308s	you know who who is doing a extremely
11311s	good job in this game here was Mike
11314s	we're taking a look at the replays
11316s	brought to you by Thunder robot uh arano
11319s	and J AIS in this situation AIS on a
11322s	sliver of Health trying to break away
11325s	not able to do so and uh it looks as
11327s	though this this was the uh the demise
11329s	of Fong here T being taken down by
11332s	spider unfortunately on that acost a
11335s	lonely AOS in this game as we talked
11337s	about earlier perhaps he was uh was
11341s	hoping that spider and Mike might be op
11343s	to go for an acos game in uh in this
11347s	game number three but it wasn't to be
11350s	Mike on that kylin and spider on the
11353s	Matari speaking of spider on Matari in
11356s	that end zone there getting
11358s	focused down getting caught in a in a
11360s	Terrain extended combo very unfortunate
11364s	situation as he does get that F forced
11366s	out and uh regardless of popping that
11368s	ultimate he's just not able to do
11370s	anything Mike able to then clutch it up
11372s	at the very end pushing wufong into the
11374s	Zone with that F and fully capitalizing
11378s	on his positioning very nicely done
11380s	indeed yeah you can see the Camp attempt
11383s	too coming on FR like he forces the
11386s	scale Rush he has to go Ariel to get
11389s	back into the Zone because if he just
11390s	tries to go for the Dodges back in he
11392s	goes into the the meter dump coming
11395s	through from Mike and no surprises Mike
11398s	had dragons R which is how he was able
11400s	to get those meter DS as frequently as
11403s	he was inside that 1 V one as well as
11406s	sap Soul Jade there's the velocity
11408s	Untold that dun mentioned Phantom step
11411s	as well like this is just Phantom step
11414s	yeah this is a stacked Soul Jade nchu
11418s	coming on through they only did
11420s	4,564 damage of the
11423s	19,700 that he did total and uh that is
11426s	only a little bit more than both the F1
11430s	and the V2 coming through from the kyin
11433s	but sometimes St it's not about the
11434s	numbers it's about the amount of
11436s	pressure that you're able to apply onto
11438s	your opponent and I think like something
11440s	that you were saying to me before the
11442s	broadcast is speaking to like why Mike
11444s	is finding it as comfortable to be able
11446s	to utilize the nunchucks in comparison
11448s	to some of these other players he didn't
11450s	interview this season where he was
11453s	talking about the meta moving into an
11455s	ability Focus as opposed to a weapon
11457s	Focus to be able to walk over the
11459s	overall winds and you said that non
11461s	chokes you don't think have ever been
11463s	bad it's just that things came across
11465s	that were better so it makes sense that
11467s	Mike who's been able to rely on those
11469s	weapons and has been in the scene for a
11470s	very long time is able to return to
11473s	those nchu because he's still familiar
11474s	with them that being said we are very
11476s	familiar with throwing over to an
11478s	interview after game number three we'll
11480s	catch you with the second half of the
11482s	day after
11484s	this hi everyone welcome to the post
11487s	game interview am Leah so this time we
11489s	have ewg arano coming to our interview
11491s	so please say hello to our audience
11495s	first okay welcome so the first question
11498s	will be so it was your ideas or your
11502s	coach's idea to play VA in game three
11512s	oh so it's
11514s	ours idea okay so let's move on to our
11518s	answer forer please because this
11520s	question is about game three so how many
11522s	kills did E run get in the game three a
11526s	2 B 3 C 4
11531s	D5 so please
11534s	count 3 2 one okay screenshot everyone
11538s	so what's the
11540s	answer C yes the uh the answer is C is
11545s	for well you know so for the first three
11549s	games we can see uh WF have a really
11552s	like surprise performance today so how
11554s	do you think about
11564s	him a I think he's like uh perform
11568s	pretty great so in game three at the
11572s	last Circle we can see Mike and wolfen
11574s	have a oneone like situation at the time
11578s	uh if we just if we don't talk about any
11580s	skills like f or ultimate about the hero
11583s	only talk about the weapon how they
11585s	think about like a nonu phased uh fast
11590s	blade
11607s	[Music]
11614s	also we don't talk about
11618s	[Music]
11619s	the uh why
11625s	[Music]
11629s	oh I think it's just half and half uh
11631s	because of uh F play have the Dutch the
11634s	special Dutch and nonu have the like you
11638s	can to avoid some uh range weapons
11641s	attack so I think it's just have to have
11644s	okay well so this time we come came to
11647s	our like PR finals we all know your get
11651s	not only one time the second place for
11653s	the uh by weekly final of solos so do

11676s	competition
11678s	oh okay I just want to try my best to
11681s	get more points in the pr final because

12054s	[Music]
12084s	hello everybody and welcome back to the
12086s	second half of the day for the nraa
12089s	blade Point summer solo pre-finals I am
12093s	got Moxy I have the pleasure of being
12095s	joined by Duncan and dun we have three
12099s	more games to play to see which of these
12102s	players and how many points they're
12105s	going to be able to bring with them to
12108s	next week's Grand finals we've seen
12110s	wuang manag to get backto back MVPs
12112s	we've seen Mike able to come through and
12115s	win out the third game we've seen the
12117s	Resurgence of the valda we've seen the
12119s	potential potential circumstance of the
12122s	kyin V2 still either being okay to be
12126s	played or it's just that Mike is that
12127s	good a player and we've also seen a lot
12130s	of questions coming through in terms of
12132s	hero proos of meta whether Hardy or Liam
12136s	or valda is that that Premier pick but
12139s	what do you think we still have in store
12141s	as we head into the second half of the
12143s	day well I will say there's probably
12147s	going to be a Target pick at least once
12149s	today I'm banking on that I think
12151s	there'll be one at least perhaps T225
12155s	you know I've seen you bring it out
12156s	before perhaps you'll bring it out again
12159s	although the last time it didn't go so
12161s	well as he got caught in a pretty rough
12164s	situation with Yang depletion in cestro
12167s	with all the players just throwing
12169s	cannon shots his way inside a building
12172s	was uh was pretty uh was pretty
12174s	unfortunate but you know what else is uh
12176s	being thrown at your way
12179s	he you got some drops remember to have
12183s	your nraa account linked to your Twitch
12186s	account so that you can get your hands
12188s	on all of those goodies all of the the
12191s	drops that uh you can uh you can get
12193s	your hands on exclusively here at the uh
12197s	the nvpl by weeklys and all of that good
12200s	stuff uh and to make sure that you do
12202s	have it linked go to the top right of
12203s	your screen click on your icon and go to
12206s	the menu that says drops and Rewards or
12207s	you can go to inventory and you can make
12210s	sure that you are progressing your drop
12212s	campaigns and also that is exactly where
12214s	you have to go and claim the drop no
12216s	matter how long you've sat there and
12217s	watched if you don't actually claim it
12219s	it's not going to be sent to your
12220s	in-game
12221s	May yeah and I mean some of those are
12224s	exclusive one weekend only drops so you
12227s	better make sure that you do have those
12230s	linked because that's the only way that
12232s	you'll be able to claim them except I do
12235s	believe some of them do have a very very
12237s	small percentage of showing up inside
12240s	the uh the boxes where they do the
12242s	events where it's like literally every
12243s	single cosmetic has a small chance of of
12247s	showing up uh but that is the only other
12249s	way if you miss one of those weekends
12251s	like if you missed the the weekend with
12253s	dragon grave I hate to tell you but
12255s	there's absolutely no way that you're
12257s	ever going to be able to get your hands
12260s	on that character Banner but we're going
12263s	to be figuring out who's going to be
12264s	getting their hands or at least he's
12265s	going to be getting a higher likelihood
12268s	of getting their hands on the overall
12271s	solos trophy as we get ready to head
12274s	into game number four because it being
12277s	pre-finals these players are going to
12279s	after they've played all six of their
12281s	games take 20% of the total points
12283s	they've picked up throughout the day
12285s	every single one of them not just top
12286s	six all 12 of these players are going to
12288s	be carrying those points forward to give
12290s	them an advantage into next week's Grand
12295s	finals that or it's going to give them
12298s	well a line of catching up to do because
12300s	some of these players are having a
12302s	little bit of a struggle of a game day
12306s	unfortunately and speaking of one of
12308s	those players is drg's Fong who I mean
12312s	it's definitely surprising that he's not
12315s	doing so well today you know leading up
12317s	to this point in multiple bi-weeks he's
12319s	been doing extremely well uh like having
12323s	those massive games H I don't know what
12325s	it is you know it could just not be his
12328s	day everyone has those days it happens
12331s	to the best players you just have an off
12334s	one you got a you got a headache you got
12336s	you you you're hungry you're hangry
12339s	you're tilted you didn't sleep enough
12340s	whatever it might be you know it can
12343s	happen and you can have a rough one but
12346s	hey Fong if if he's he's been around for
12349s	a very long time if uh if anyone can do
12351s	it you can and I believe that he might
12354s	surprise us going into the next three
12356s	games and we're at that halfway point
12358s	there's still plenty more Nora left to
12360s	be played um as we love to say and uh
12365s	here are the mvpl cars uh but who knows
12369s	who knows we'll have to wait and see for
12371s	the moment the stars of the show are
12373s	certainly x1's wufong and Mike coming in
12377s	in the third game and securing that mvp
12380s	and even even though he he didn't have
12383s	an MVP up until that point he' certainly
12385s	been putting some numbers on the board I
12387s	think I'm not sure if it was his first
12389s	or his second game where he got uh a
12393s	decent number of points I think it was
12394s	around six or something it was his first
12397s	yeah his first game okay yeah yeah cuz
12399s	remember it was he was on the zip and he
12402s	got I believe it was either four or five
12404s	kills because he picked zp on pedor and
12408s	it was Kim and T5 versus the two hotties
12412s	uh in that end game but unlike T5 Mike
12415s	was able to find the spacing as well as
12416s	the range weapon shots to be able to
12418s	come through and actually connect those
12420s	last hits to be able to get those kill
12422s	eliminations to come indeed it's it is
12426s	what it is you know uh one ZIP does well
12429s	one ZIP does not uh however I doubt
12432s	we're going to be seeing any zipping in
12434s	this oh actually that I that we are
12437s	going over to peroria yet again we could
12440s	still we could still see a zipping looks
12444s	as though Fong is coming to the stage a
12445s	little bit late perhaps he's just
12447s	perhaps he is feeling under the weather
12449s	who knows perhaps not but uh perhaps
12452s	there was a q at the L or something who
12454s	knows but uh he is sat down he is uh
12458s	definitely yeah I don't know it's
12461s	sometimes it's hard to tell whether or
12462s	not a player is loged in or simply just
12466s	neutral you know whether or not
12468s	someone's actually like very focused in
12471s	and ready to go or if they're just
12474s	they're not necessarily indifferent I
12476s	feel like that's not the right word but
12478s	neutral is a slightly better game face I
12481s	I would say whether or not they have
12483s	like that cool calm and collected game
12486s	face that doesn't really betray a lot of
12489s	emotions jdg Shang has has a very good
12492s	cool Cal and Collective game he does for
12494s	sure uh as we are going to be headed
12497s	like you said into game number four
12499s	which is indeed going to be taking us
12501s	back on over two pador this is going to
12502s	be morning due so no increased firly
12505s	spawns just the normal basic ones as
12508s	we're going to have a look and see what
12510s	these players are going to be locking in
12513s	with they can only have a maximum of
12516s	three of the same heroes in this lobby
12519s	with the way that these phases uh get
12521s	turned through and we're not really
12522s	seeing a lot of double picks coming
12525s	through that was one of the big
12526s	surprises we saw the the double pick
12528s	Liam uh and we saw a couple of double
12530s	picks of valders but a lot of these
12533s	other players have been 5050 split in
12535s	terms of the players that they have
12537s	placed into the same phases with so for
12539s	instance if star picks Liam no one else
12541s	in this Lobby can pick Liam however if s
12544s	doesn't pick Liam and off for something
12545s	like the Hardy then shanan T25 would be
12548s	able to potentially pick up the Liam as
12550s	well now we are going to see the double
12552s	picks coming through so Pac are going to
12554s	be both opting for Li wib that OU and T5
12557s	both going to be opting for the Hardy
12560s	and then AIS well we talked about it
12563s	he's going to be coming on through with
12564s	the zip for him is verse going to be
12568s	locking the zip or is he going to be
12570s	showing something a little bit spicy or
12573s	it's going to be a tamy coming on
12575s	through personally I feel like I would
12577s	probably prioritize the tamy over the
12579s	zip especially given the fact that they
12581s	can see the heroes that have been banned
12583s	they know that Hardy has been double
12585s	picked they know know that the V2 is
12587s	going to be on the board and that fire
12589s	tick is so detrimental for the zip
12592s	sustainability that 50% healing
12594s	Effectiveness cut where the the zip just
12597s	doesn't have the same ability to cleanse
12598s	it as frequently as the karumi is an
12601s	absolute killer in those One V ones
12604s	against the real of yangang so no
12606s	surprises we've only got one ZIP we've
12609s	still got two tamies as well as the
12613s	potential of a valder pick coming on for
12616s	but arano and Fang are going to be
12617s	opting for the kylin and the Justina so
12621s	one valda one zipping two Liams two
12625s	Hardies one kylin and we also have two
12630s	volders to come through in this Lobby a
12633s	good mix of Heroes alongside those two
12637s	tamies yeah I will say with this uh with
12640s	these uh round selection phases the the
12643s	the diversity within lobbies is is
12647s	certainly uh increased you know over if
12650s	especially if you compare it to previous
12653s	years where at times we we would just
12655s	simply see lobbies filled with exactly
12658s	the same character you you do you
12659s	remember the the 16 man siipping lobbies
12662s	oh my goodness yes I remember I I
12665s	remember the 16 Yoto lobbies going even
12669s	oh my
12670s	goodness oh my goodness the yo Justina
12676s	splits and it would just come down to
12679s	like 9 all alting as the zone closed and
12683s	it would sound like you were in an echo
12684s	chamber because you would just hear one
12686s	Al go off next ultimate go off next
12687s	ultimate go
12691s	off the yo sound
12696s	just it just uh just a an absolute a
12700s	gaggle of Y hum wait things on the V2
12703s	for the kylin oh okay okay so perhaps V2
12708s	I mean see this is the thing like I
12710s	haven't really had a chance to play
12712s	against V2 kyin since the ner so I can't
12715s	really say whether or not it's not worth
12718s	picking anymore but it is like it's
12721s	possible that the Nerfs done to kylin
12723s	were simply uh like just enough to make
12727s	him balanced you know make him worth
12730s	picking still but just not oppressive
12732s	you know like I know it's worse than
12735s	it's it's wor in true is because the
12737s	Hardy Nerf coming on because in true
12741s	that there have been teams that have
12742s	been practicing still with the zip still
12745s	with the kylin but with the vder instead
12747s	of the Hardy K have been scrimming that
12750s	one but uh that's for trios matter and
12753s	this is solos and we're going to be
12755s	having a look and seeing where exactly
12757s	all these players are going to be
12758s	dropping no surprises that arer is going
12760s	to be hotly contested for the vulpine
12763s	Ence as we know that jdg both their
12765s	solos Andre's players love to drop into
12769s	that spacing and try and get their hands
12770s	on that fall Essence as quickly as
12771s	possible but it's making them a little
12772s	bit more predictable and we are starting
12774s	to see more and more players contesting
12777s	those particular spots as everyone you
12779s	can see them running now just trying to
12781s	figure out where those funer coins are
12783s	going to
12785s	be indeed let's see here what we have we
12789s	have quite surprisingly quite a few
12791s	players dropping in this uh rather
12793s	isolated area not all not that big of a
12796s	of
12797s	of a POI but it's uh certainly peaked
12800s	the interest of these players as we see
12802s	past taking down verse in a very quick
12806s	fashion here able to catch him with the
12809s	scale Rush we've seen quite a few quite
12811s	a few players uh taking full advantage
12814s	of scale rushing as I I don't know I I
12817s	feel like it's just not we've not seen
12818s	it as much scale rushing is become much
12820s	more of a mobility and uh a sort of a a
12824s	poking tool or kiting tool as opposed to
12827s	a combo starting thing you know like
12830s	it's something that has been around for
12831s	so long but it's we've not really seen
12833s	it I I mean I don't know I haven't seen
12835s	it happen this much this many times but
12838s	it's certainly been uh been netting
12841s	quite a lot of value for a lot of these
12842s	players but we've got a fight here
12844s	that's been uh going for a decent amount
12846s	of time here OG's Mike and past and Mike
12849s	predicting that past is going to come
12851s	around the corner able to catch him with
12854s	that dragon slayer past is just not
12856s	ready for it expecting him to try and
12859s	kite away in the opposite direction and
12861s	potentially find a reset but no Mike is
12864s	ugly as we all well know he's ready he's
12867s	happy to take the fight and send that
12869s	dragon slayer right on through yeah I
12872s	mean Tammy's combo breaker there is very
12874s	little punishment even if you mispredict
12876s	the Parry coming on for in terms of that
12878s	timing is Wang is going to utilize his
12881s	combo break now on that Justina could
12883s	potentially opt into utilizing that
12884s	forbidden deal but he's 7 sent away from
12886s	his ultimate there's too many players
12888s	around in this fight he wants to have
12890s	that get out of jail fre card in the
12892s	back pocket he's going to go down
12895s	however before the V1 can balen up and
12897s	now we're going to get to see the Hardy
12899s	going head to-head against jg's shuang
12902s	on that valan looking for the Dragon
12904s	Slayers utilizing it to close up the
12906s	space utilizes the combo breaker early
12909s	and that is going to cost him Shang
12912s	tried to come through with the predict
12913s	charge lmb manages to pop the bidden
12916s	seal andan Yan oh no the huus the hot
12921s	wings have been clipped like a he falls
12923s	to the sky but it's the vder who's the
12925s	one that might potentially Dr beneath
12927s	the waves thean yuan is able to come
12930s	through with a huge hit of damage from
12931s	the Char vertical on that Spear and now
12934s	we go back into the neutral tries to go
12936s	for the Dragon Slayers nunchuck now
12938s	comes on through from the vder with the
12940s	overh hold into that horizontal Tech
12943s	Chase Shan looks for the jump doesn't
12945s	man to find it thought that he was going
12948s	to go for the earlier spacing given that
12950s	the overhaul had come out previously now
12953s	manages to find the armor swap like you
12954s	said King back into that forbidden seal
12956s	that the vder doesn't want to fight into
12958s	because she has access to the V2 the F2
12961s	is going to come through the juggle
12963s	managing to be found Jan Yuan making
12966s	sure that his back is constantly to that
12968s	forbidden seal so if the V does come
12970s	through with that ultimate he's going to
12971s	be able to kite the duration of those
12973s	Spears coming on out the over comes 21
12976s	not feeling comfortable in terms of the
12978s	Parry timing he's going to throw the
12979s	combo breaker for looks for the Parry on
12982s	the cliff side before putting himself
12983s	into the scill to go for the reset over
12985s	to that pul to mix up the timing wants
12988s	to come through with the couch of the
12989s	vertical anticipating the valer chasing
12991s	after him but the vder does not play
12994s	into his hands and now he has to utilize
12996s	that P sword to scush away doesn't
12998s	manage to pull the Vitalia off does
13000s	manage to get enough damage done though
13002s	to BU back into that V2 and away he f
13006s	we're going to see a reset come through
13009s	we are indeed this fight has been going
13011s	on for so long at this point thankfully
13014s	for zanard he is able to break away at
13016s	least for a uh short time able to get
13019s	somewhat of a reset but immediately
13022s	pressured by verse verse coming in
13025s	applying that pressure immediately
13027s	getting a huge chunk of his shield taken
13031s	off forced to use that combo break and
13033s	to disengage somewhat but now having
13035s	reset set and he's looking for a way
13038s	back into the fight oh a beautiful Parry
13041s	coming out from xan Yuan he has been
13044s	sending these parries and definitely
13047s	finding a lot of success but
13049s	unfortunately he's not going to be
13051s	coming out on top here as chuang does
13053s	come in from the back with those nunchuk
13056s	with that nunchuk R&B with that single
13058s	hit catching him and taking him down
13061s	verse now I'm not going to lie that was
13064s	a little bit I think I think CH Ang a
13066s	little bit too excited there he was I'm
13067s	going to go through the sand wall oh oh
13069s	no what have I done immediately gets
13072s	punished for a rather optimistic play
13077s	there not sure about that one I feel
13079s	like that was certainly a bit too a
13081s	little bit too aggressive as if you do
13084s	get caught in that sand wall if you're
13085s	if the if the tul you're chasing has a
13088s	wisp ready to go you are trapped good
13090s	sir you are not getting out of that
13092s	alive perhaps he he was hoping to to get
13096s	his his ultimate off he wanted to Dodge
13098s	in buffer the AL activation and try and
13101s	knock him out of his heal or something
13103s	along he was he was also denied a little
13107s	bit of spacing because the the temis was
13108s	from behind him so he already had to
13111s	utilize the blue Focus to not uh get
13113s	sweps up into the CC of the first whsp
13116s	and then that sort of left him with a
13118s	decision of either try to go through the
13121s	windall or camp with the the full meter
13123s	dump as a jl's AI is going to get the V
13127s	Point Essence fpx is verse slipping
13130s	through was not able to steal it away
13133s	from the zip that would have been
13135s	highway robbery he' been able to make it
13139s	off with that Soul Jade as it dropped
13141s	onto the map as speaking about highway
13143s	robbery who's going to be able to steal
13145s	themselves into a realm of Yang spider
13149s	with that vder V2 is going to commit the
13151s	SPs onto fx's verus will be able to find
13154s	a commitment but tamy with that combo
13156s	breaker is going to be able to find the
13158s	Wisp connection onto the vda spider now
13160s	just trying to find any form of Val that
13162s	he can with the VT before it falls
13164s	through does have that Yang pass so
13166s	he'll be able to get his ultimate back
13168s	when he walks into the realm of Yang
13170s	fight as it's going to be ug's Mike
13173s	against SS one paced indeed it is and
13177s	Mike has somewhat of an advantage with
13179s	that purple armor does find the whole
13182s	Dodge catch onto Pace off of that R&B
13185s	release but oh he almost finds it again
13188s	but unfortunately not able to the first
13190s	one having been mitigated by that combo
13191s	break Mike now getting caught on the
13193s	exit using his own combo break but
13195s	immediately getting punished for it Pace
13197s	oh the Miss input coming through he
13200s	caught him with the combo extension
13203s	teleported over but accidentally sends
13206s	out a Parry instead of that that RMB
13210s	light into full combo Mike then able to
13213s	get that reset with the ultimate usage
13216s	and disengaging Pace now breaking uh
13219s	breaking into that bubble of Mike with
13223s	that Al activation yet again Mike losing
13226s	quite a bit of his shield here oh very
13229s	nice little uh line here from Mike I'll
13232s	talk about it in a moment but Mike
13234s	sending out another Focus attack getting
13236s	shift parried getting hit in the back
13238s	those nunchuk Parry followups are deadly
13242s	indeed the combo break being sent back
13244s	Wass Mike taking a little bit more chip
13246s	damage but he finds the way in he
13249s	catches Pace slipping with that
13251s	horizontal into the full combo and takes
13254s	him down Mike he had advantage to start
13257s	off with which was quickly taking away
13262s	but he clutches it up in the end
13264s	regardless uh something to note wbg
13267s	spider is going to be winning his real
13269s	of Yang that took place simultaneously
13272s	taking him up to four eliminations a
13275s	certainly leading the charge at the
13278s	moment as kill leader but we're coming
13280s	on out of the realm of Yang taking a
13282s	look at
13283s	JIS chasing down X1 wuang wufong
13288s	unfortunately not having the best game
13290s	here after having had such a stellar
13293s	performance so far today yeah he is on
13296s	that Justina so he's definitely hoping
13298s	that there's going to be some multiway
13300s	fighting coming for in a matter of
13302s	moments manes to find the scale Rush
13304s	onto an unsuspecting a kis into full
13307s	follow for charged R&B on that H wind as
13310s	zip is in flop state is going to be
13312s	immediately disengaging so that he can
13314s	start regenerating that Health on the
13316s	move with the F1 finds his anticipation
13319s	SC but wuang has a combo break in the
13322s	form of that F2 to break away before any
13325s	consequence can be felt now goes for the
13328s	overhaul Crouch cancels out of it Wang
13331s	not read into it did not throw out the
13333s	red Flash and did not get PRI into the
13335s	light stack stagger because of this both
13338s	of these players trying to find that Opa
13339s	connection areas will be able to find
13341s	the extension with with the charg r MBS
13344s	managing to mix up the timings catching
13347s	onto the se's going to have another F1
13349s	shortly got the armor resap but he's
13352s	being Corner locked throws in that F1 to
13355s	back away from the fight as the third
13357s	party comes through and with that
13359s	additional movement off of the cast of
13361s	that F1 as has been able to break away
13363s	from the fight for the most part but
13364s	this Justina knows that the zip is low
13367s	knows that the zip is going to be down
13369s	that ultimate and is trying to just keep
13372s	this connection onto her but a with so
13374s	many stories of this buing to play
13377s	around as well as fpx is verse just
13380s	constantly biting at the heels of the
13382s	Justina behind him slipping away like an
13390s	eel it's not looking too good for ewg
13394s	arano here as he to break away
13396s	momentarily but immediately runs in to a
13400s	couple other players Mike though is
13403s	going to be the one to take him down
13405s	running around with this golden hang
13408s	sword dominating the competition on this
13411s	tamul he finds his next Target spotting
13415s	out drg's Fong who immediately
13418s	recognizes the threat and is going to be
13419s	looking to disengage as he does have
13422s	that disadvantage in terms of loot that
13425s	blue armor and blue dagger as well Mike
13430s	trying to make full use of his uh
13433s	Vermilion Birds might buff but
13434s	unfortunately not able to get that
13437s	little bit extra a little bit extra
13439s	coming out of the of the buff there but
13442s	no matter he's still about to be pretty
13444s	happy with that as he still is on three
13447s	eliminations and did get himself uh an
13450s	extra kill during that buff as we can
13453s	see there on the right side of the
13455s	screen just had that graphic pop up
13457s	showing us how many eliminations Mike
13460s	was able to pick up during that buff But
13463s	Here we are now taking a look at a quick
13464s	replay from the other real of Yang that
13467s	we saw spider was able to succeed in for
13471s	himself T25 unfortunately getting
13474s	parried there that 180 Parry beautifully
13477s	done by spider grappling up to the sky
13480s	does he find the spear stagger no he
13482s	doesn't tt25 flying up and down and all
13486s	around spider trying his best to apply
13488s	some fire tick with that assault smolder
13491s	as well as catch him with this spear but
13494s	it is not to be he's not really able to
13496s	do so T25 dropping down with that spear
13498s	R&B does not find it the Clank comes
13501s	through he does get a Parry though
13504s	spider catches him on the secondary
13506s	release T25 trying to fade back with
13508s	those fist blades but not able to the
13510s	R&B Tech Chas is too much and he is
13512s	taken down spider now might potentially
13516s	be taking down another of hardies in
13519s	this Lobby did actually have to try and
13522s	find the tech Chase onto one of the
13524s	hardies who had that Yang pass already
13526s	in the pocket so they're going to be
13528s	going directly through into the portal
13530s	as it looks like we're going to be
13531s	getting asan versus ss1 Pac yet again
13537s	Pac with that blue bow going to be
13539s	swapping on over manages to find the
13542s	Parry to open with this Kitana does have
13545s	that combo breaker on the Liam is going
13546s	to be investing it just now both of
13549s	these players looking for the spacing
13551s	with the katana into the pistol swaps
13552s	coming on out now Froman Yan he's going
13555s	to come in through with that Hardy
13556s	ultimate look to keep up the pressure on
13559s	face so that he doesn't have the luxury
13560s	of time for finding a reset on some of
13563s	this missing armor behind that pillar
13565s	he's going to utilize one of those
13566s	teleports in the ultimate to just remove
13569s	himself from the position he find
13571s	himself in waiting for the duration of
13573s	this Hardy ultimate to be done that he
13574s	is getting increasingly low the skish
13577s	attempted to catch into the focus strike
13579s	does not find the opening that he was
13582s	looking for Jan Yuan with that constant
13585s	pressure from the burck able to swap
13587s	over to the pistol and find the last hit
13589s	of damage necessary as fx's ver not
13592s	going to be able to find the
13593s	continuation of the charged lmv on the
13594s	staff because of that Justina F2 being
13597s	called into play doesn't get frozen out
13600s	by the dash is able to frame Focus
13602s	through it comes on through with the T
13604s	ultimate just unfortunately falling a
13607s	foul of one of her biggest counters in
13610s	the One V one the tamy ultimate making
13612s	it so much harder for those dashes to
13614s	find the spacing that wuang has been
13617s	looking for the jump lmbs from verse
13620s	getting so much damage but he gets
13622s	caught up into the hungo follow through
13624s	on the R&B flop State and verse now is
13627s	the one on the back foot both of these
13629s	players taking a little bit of downtime
13631s	but ver with the longer reach with that
13634s	staff trying to come on through the
13635s	focus break yet again on that F will be
13638s	able to put himself behind the pillar 30
13640s	seconds left just in looking for that
13642s	scale Rush is going to be able to find
13644s	the connection and woong with the pistol
13648s	SWA with the scale Rush forcing him away
13651s	from the pillar into the pistol damage
13653s	will be able to win the 1 V one that was
13657s	beautifully done insanely well played it
13660s	was looking very rough there for Wu Fong
13663s	for a second there but he's able to claw
13665s	it back from the brink and clutch it up
13668s	in the realm of Yang securing himself
13669s	that golden armor and golden weapon
13672s	along with the white Tiger's prowers but
13675s	here moving on out of the realm of Yang
13678s	these players who've been fighting it
13680s	scrapping it out outside looks as though
13683s	drg's Fong is again on the back foot not
13687s	looking as though it's a uh good
13690s	situation for him however he's managed
13692s	to break away from this fight for at
13696s	least for the moment buying himself a
13697s	little bit of time but it looks as
13699s	though he's ran straight in to fpx Z Q's
13704s	verse who happened to be walking by
13707s	immediately denying that grapple from
13710s	drg's F but thankfully he's able to
13712s	break away far enough that no other
13716s	grapple is going to come through to deny
13718s	his Escape making his way over to that
13720s	Rift dealer and luckily finding himself
13723s	a blue armor although the Chase has not
13726s	been uh followed through upon all that
13729s	aggressively for the moment he is still
13732s	able to conserve some resources for the
13734s	moment looks as though he's still in a
13737s	bit of a a bad spot he did have the
13741s	presence of mine to ring that Bell
13744s	denying the the the the the ringing of
13747s	the Bell from any of these other players
13750s	once they uh they came over to uh to him
13754s	in that uh in that area denying them the
13756s	ability to track him down buying himself
13760s	some more time to regenerate some of
13762s	that old charge and uh and simply just
13765s	uh live a little bit longer ss1 paste
13768s	looks as though he was chilling for a
13770s	moment went for a quick dip in the
13772s	Mercury River uh is is now back on the
13775s	move it's a little chilly in in Autumn
13779s	the water is is not quite as warm as the
13782s	hot springs
13785s	but oh it's it's going to be heating up
13788s	in terms of pressure in a moment cuz
13790s	both he uh and verse are currently under
13794s	Yang depletion now can both of them tell
13798s	both of them are going to be taking a 1
13799s	V one unfortunately it's not going to
13801s	remain a One V one for a little bit
13804s	longer as you can see all of these
13805s	players converging on the mini map we
13809s	find the players on the Y defle we find
13810s	the players having to take a fight Pace
13812s	going to have to come through with that
13814s	ultimate to position entirely just
13816s	trying to teleport away in the hopes of
13819s	isolating or just just taking a kill
13822s	away from these players in this Lobby he
13823s	is so very low he's going to put himself
13826s	directly into the path of those
13828s	jellyfish manages to get one Vitalia off
13831s	FX verse is going to be taking a lot of
13833s	damage Pace does go down verse is close
13836s	enough to see it and get the soul Bloom
13839s	the question is is ui's Mike going to
13843s	let this go or is he going to play
13847s	bouncer before verse can make his way
13849s	back into the Zone Mike managed to spot
13852s	the t's rotation and that is well rather
13856s	fortunate given the fact that they're
13858s	both on the same
13860s	Hero true true oh it's a fellow Sandman
13865s	okay buddy um you don't want to be the
13869s	only tul in the end in in end game you
13872s	don't want to be the only player on a
13874s	certain character in an end zone as we
13878s	talked about earlier they're both on V3
13881s	too as well right so yeah they're going
13882s	to be able to play off of each other
13885s	because of that mechanic yeah if for
13887s	those of you at home who don't know
13888s	about this mechanic when you have V3 as
13892s	tamul you're able to run on over to the
13895s	sand wall and have your have be given
13898s	wisps by the sandb right and you can do
13901s	that not only with your ultimate but
13904s	with enemy ultimates as well make
13907s	creating this uh this very goofy
13911s	interaction it's it's just Eternal it's
13914s	like 24/7 Tami whisps that's all the
13916s	weather forecasters whatever that be for
13919s	the sandstorm is coming through it's
13920s	going to be active it's not even with a
13922s	chance you just you know that it's going
13924s	to be coming out as we know that
13926s	merciless Havoc is going to be coming
13927s	through from
13928s	ascan showcasing that one as everyone
13931s	gets ready for the show in tell of Soul
13933s	Jades so that uh they can show off what
13935s	exactly they have to try and hold the
13937s	spacing down to guarantee that they get
13940s	Spirit
13942s	Well The Spirit Well is going to be
13944s	heavily contested as you can see xan
13947s	yuan is uh is trying to section off this
13951s	area for himself but immediately forced
13953s	off of it all of these players trying to
13955s	group up and consolidate themselves in
13959s	that small space but it's going to be
13961s	made extremely difficult by this
13963s	merciless Havoc as it's just one of
13965s	those Jades that is so good at uh at
13968s	keeping the the terrain and the space
13971s	for the user a diving in with that
13974s	dagger looking for that dagger lmbb
13976s	Focus the threat is there but Janan is
13978s	going to try and deny this Threat by
13980s	immediately popping that ultimate and
13982s	fully committing it to this Spirit Well
13984s	capture now canceling that ultimate
13986s	going down to the ground going to see if
13988s	he can make something happen goes for
13990s	that lmbb release on the dual blades but
13993s	not really finding too much and now
13995s	looks as though he might be forced off
13997s	of it spider ultimate very low not very
14002s	much HP underneath that valda shield and
14004s	he's getting forced off now in a very
14006s	bad spot it looks as though Mike might
14008s	be picking up the chase spider drops an
14010s	armor perhaps as a bluff to try and
14012s	pretend as though he found an armor swap
14015s	in a very bad spot now Mike going to be
14017s	taking full advantage of this going to
14019s	try and utilize that ultimate to fully
14022s	lock him down but he's not able to do so
14024s	just yet spider he's still on his feet
14026s	no ultimate to uh at his disposal and he
14030s	has very very small Health pool to work
14033s	with the these other players coming
14036s	through the Rampage coming through he
14037s	just Dives in I'm not going down to you
14039s	Mike not you going down to somebody else
14042s	instead yeah Mike more than happy to
14045s	commit that semi ultimate to guarantee
14047s	the kill onto the VA because the only
14049s	good valer in a heal of situation is a
14051s	dead valer to the non valder players Jan
14054s	Yan to come through with another Merc
14056s	Havoc Camp unfortunately does not have
14058s	the opportunity to build into that
14059s	golden stage froz it out directly
14062s	towards the player when it's still on
14063s	the blue and does get it parried however
14065s	no one is able to pick up the staff so
14068s	he's just immediately able to pick it
14070s	right back up and we go right back to
14072s	contesting but enough about the players
14074s	contesting Moon BS the side of the H on
14076s	on the contest action too and sends the
14079s	AOE and my question is D has it been 180
14082s	seconds yet because so far no one has
14085s	actually picked this well up we could
14086s	see it despawn
14088s	entirely we could indeed but I don't
14091s	think these players are going to let
14092s	that happen they're constantly trying
14093s	their best to make their way in but oh
14096s	no I think that player just went down no
14100s	no he didn't T5 is alive he's still
14102s	alive oh my goodness eating double hits
14105s	from the Moon Bane now xan yuan is back
14108s	in Action going for that second round on
14111s	his Hardy ultimate going to be diving in
14113s	trying to hold this down but it's not
14115s	being Made Easy by wufong who is
14117s	standing strong on the low ground with
14120s	that dual blades OCTA SL Jade going to
14123s	be making it extremely difficult and
14125s	there it is Moxy fully times out and
14128s	fully despawns oh that's so unfortunate
14131s	so many of these players used their
14132s	ultimate thinking that they had that one
14134s	unlocked Jan yuan is a Hardy without an
14137s	escape Ro he has the combo break but he
14139s	has to just break away from this fight
14142s	into the Zone he goes in the hopes these
14145s	players aren't going to spot him out
14147s	where he ends up only he currently knows
14150s	he's going to be incredibly quiet as
14152s	unfortunately T5 still low because of
14154s	those Moon Bane hits does get spotted
14156s	and taken down by fpx is verse shanian
14159s	having been able to heal his Vitalia
14161s	backup has not been able to go for a
14164s	shield reset nor has he been able to
14165s	find a shield swap because of that
14167s	Spirit while despawning he's still stuck
14169s	with the same legendary armor that he
14171s	had when he contested it more than 180
14174s	seconds AG go but with the Zone having
14176s	moved and a lot of these players rotated
14179s	no one spotting the Hardy being low yeah
14182s	that
14185s	O Okay that was
14188s	clutch thank you mortal Defiance pop oh
14192s	no unfortunately he he he didn't have
14194s	Vine
14196s	Ence that is rough to say the least poor
14201s	poor guy just getting caught by by the
14205s	by the sort of the beams on the ceiling
14207s	there he grapples into the Zone but it
14210s	just gets eclips on the ceiling forcing
14213s	him to lose that mortal Defiance and it
14216s	was just the normal Mortal Mortal
14217s	Defiance I think he was under the the
14220s	heel reduction as well for having been
14222s	in the zone as long as it was so it was
14225s	it was such a small percentage I believe
14228s	Jail's AIS still has the the vulon Ence
14232s	uh in the back pocket we'll have to wait
14233s	and see he did pick up originally I'm
14236s	not sure if he's since burned through it
14239s	though well but if he if he hasn't then
14242s	he's definitely in a good spot to uh to
14245s	win this out or at least stay alive and
14248s	that is exactly what he wants as he
14250s	hasn't been able to pick up any
14251s	eliminations unfortunately trying to
14253s	hold on to this corner within this
14255s	building denying the the pressure by
14258s	Fong with this cannon aiming it directly
14262s	at the wall hitting him with that Splash
14264s	damage and now Fong might end up being
14266s	focused down because of this going to
14269s	the sky now Force to use that kylin
14271s	ultimate to try and deny some of this
14273s	pressure or at least apply some of it in
14275s	turn to the other players who are trying
14278s	toh Focus him down Fong trying his best
14282s	to stick to this High ground and heal up
14285s	just a little bit while he still can
14288s	while he still has that invulnerability
14291s	on his ultimate available to go but now
14294s	it does finally time out he does have
14296s	this dagger although it's blue is going
14299s	to net him enough pressure to deny Wong
14303s	the drop down potential here as he could
14305s	send that lmbb Focus that horizontal
14308s	Focus that catches any player above him
14311s	verse with the mercus that he must have
14313s	picked up from Jan yuan is just pushing
14316s	all of these players into that zone
14319s	damage into each other knew that Fong
14321s	was there had seen the kylin go for the
14323s	drop down at the tailand of that V2
14326s	tries to come and through of the mercus
14327s	pushing him into Zone even further but
14331s	we still have both of these tamies in
14333s	play dunk if the V3 comes out it's going
14336s	to be whisp reset whispy set whispy set
14339s	and that's exactly what everyone has to
14340s	be so nervous about versus making it
14343s	even harder for these players to keep
14345s	themselves into the middle of the zone
14346s	so when the Tami ultimate comes through
14347s	everyone's going to be on the wrong end
14349s	of the window everyone is going to be
14351s	stuck in place eating all of that
14353s	corruption take damage
14355s	can you find the ultimate placement to
14357s	slice it directly through the storm
14359s	damage everyone putting themselves
14361s	preemptively over the top of where they
14363s	think the Tami ultimate comes through
14365s	both of the Tami ultimates are going to
14367s	come out to form a huge figure of Aid
14370s	and here it is whisp reset whisp reset
14373s	into full Focus trade follow through the
14376s	dashes from x1's Wang however with the
14379s	Justina who is anticipating the T the
14381s	ultimate is able to keep himself ahead
14384s	Ed of the CC and we do see not a single
14389s	player reed to win that multiplayer it
14392s	is going to be a draw between the
14393s	Justina and both of the tamies however
14396s	that is more than enough points for
14398s	wuang to be able to pick up his third
14401s	MVP of the day it may not be
14404s	consecutively it may not be the back to
14406s	back to back but wuang has still been
14409s	able to do something that not a lot of
14411s	players in the league have three MVP
14415s	in one day not at all bad coming through
14419s	from him yes not too shabby from woong
14423s	my guy I said it earlier this man is
14427s	gaming he's having the day or the series
14430s	of his life right now seemingly just
14435s	he's just uh it's the same thing that
14438s	happens when some players just have a
14440s	bad day you know some players just have
14442s	a really really good day
14444s	and uh they just have everyone like
14448s	written on the back of their hand they
14449s	just have the notes they they know they
14452s	know what you're thinking they're living
14454s	rent rentree in your in your brain you
14458s	know they just know what you're thinking
14459s	you know you're going to do this you're
14461s	going to do that and I am going to cook
14464s	you up and Wu Fong hey he was able he's
14467s	been able to do it multiple times I will
14468s	say though in that End Zone it could
14470s	have gone many different ways and
14473s	thankfully he was able to fully utilize
14475s	that Justina ultimate and uh and
14478s	capitalize very well on those freezes
14482s	and uh picking up quite a few
14484s	eliminations in those last few moments
14486s	and surviving until the very very end I
14489s	do believe though that as you said that
14490s	I don't think there was anyone who
14493s	secured that first place placement but
14495s	you know what you could secure for
14497s	yourself at home ladies and gentlemen
14498s	you could get your hands on a summers
14500s	split random gift box especially
14502s	considering that this uh this uh
14504s	question is on the easier side I would
14506s	say as we were just talking about it was
14508s	just on screen who won game number four
14511s	today was it a k k a T225 was it B fpx
14517s	zq verse was it C O's mic or was it dx1
14523s	woong make sure to get your answers in
14525s	the chat to have a chance at winning
14527s	yourself a summer split random gift box
14530s	and to stick around to make sure that if
14532s	you are the lucky winner that you don't
14533s	miss out on claiming your
14536s	prize I will be honest when I saw those
14539s	two tamies left as well as the zoning
14542s	that Janan was able to to pick up with
14544s	that merciless Havoc I was like for sure
14546s	this is going to be a Tami one like for
14548s	sure they're going to be able to just
14550s	push everyone to the edges and then when
14552s	the storm closes in they can all with
14554s	everybody else have been denied the
14556s	ability to sit in the middle in the eye
14558s	of the storm of that semi ultimate but
14560s	massive credit to all of the players
14562s	left in the lobby they they identified
14565s	that there were two tamies they knew
14566s	that they couldn't try and put pressure
14568s	onto one tamy because the other one
14570s	would immediately whisper if they tried
14572s	to get too overaggressive so they did
14574s	the next best thing they went for
14576s	instead of preventing the ultimate they
14578s	went to curb the impact of the ultimate
14581s	when it came through when that zone
14583s	collapsed and both of those T ultimates
14585s	get got dropped every single one of
14587s	those players took advantage of the
14590s	rooftops that had been aranged to
14593s	Grapple the themselves into the sky and
14595s	stay as high above the ground as they
14597s	possibly could so that they were
14599s	suspended above the cut off of where
14602s	that simil ultimate is able to connect
14604s	onto those players and grab them down so
14607s	major plays coming through from everyone
14609s	in the lobby to make sure that it wasn't
14611s	just a Tami MVP through and through
14615s	there's X1 there it is that puts him up
14618s	to a total of
14620s	31.7 points and we still have game five
14623s	and game six to play through he is very
14627s	much looking to be one of the favorites
14630s	moving in to next week's Grand
14633s	finals absolutely he's going to be
14636s	coming in with quite a few points as uh
14639s	you can see in the top right 20% of the
14642s	total points will be carried over into
14644s	the grand finals and wufong you know so
14647s	far he's been he's managed to
14649s	accumulate just over how much about six
14653s	points six something six something we're
14656s	doing mats live but I I think I did it
14659s	right I think I got it I think it is
14661s	about just over six points that he's
14663s	going to be taking forward but uh we
14666s	still got another two games left to be
14667s	played so it could potentially end up
14670s	being more than that but here we are
14672s	taking a look at some replays brought to
14674s	you by Thunder robot the early kills
14677s	being picked up there ss1 Pace able to
14679s	pick up an early kill of Spawn and then
14682s	this whole uh this whole situ ation here
14685s	with vers and chuang chuang just getting
14688s	a little bit too aggressive he didn't
14689s	have Al available then actually my my
14692s	pot my reasoning in that situation as to
14694s	why he might have chosen to do that I
14697s	now have no clue why he chose to run
14699s	into that sand wall it does not really
14701s	compute with me I don't know why he
14703s	opted to do that trying to deny the heal
14706s	but it's it's that kind of thing you
14708s	know you you have to respect the sand
14710s	wall if you get stuck in it you can you
14713s	you just can't do anything it's this was
14716s	gorgeous this was beautiful yeah the
14718s	pistol rush and then the pistol shot to
14721s	capitalized once they'd been chased away
14723s	from being able to hide behind that
14724s	pillar here is the moment that W like
14726s	you can see everybody knew it was going
14728s	to be tamy ultimate overlapping everyone
14731s	put themselves above that ultimate so
14733s	that wuang when he came through instead
14735s	of Dashing with the Justus ultimate over
14737s	it he could Dash down into it and
14740s	connects onto all of those players who
14742s	have been forced to take cover and hard
14744s	at the very epicenter of the Tei
14746s	ultimate so is not getting stuck in CC
14749s	inside that wall and that decision
14752s	making allowed wuhong to just connect
14754s	onto multiple players and immediately
14757s	follow through you can see even though
14759s	he was able to come through with four
14761s	kills he didn't do a major chunk of
14763s	damage he only did
14766s	15339 as opposed to some of the
14768s	statistics that we've been seeing for
14770s	his other MVPs and it's just because he
14772s	was very very smart about what when he
14774s	took the initiative to close up the
14776s	distance and go for those hits yeah no
14779s	he he literally got every single kill in
14782s	that end zone there were five people
14784s	alive including him and he got the
14786s	eliminations onto each one of those
14789s	other players picking up all four of
14792s	those liims in those final moments and
14794s	as you said he did he did he he did
14797s	about 15,000 damage overall throughout
14799s	the entire game but to pick up those
14801s	kills at the very end all he did was a
14804s	small small amount of damage with those
14807s	Justina dashes as the Justina Dash
14809s	itself does a tiny bit of damage but
14812s	that's all he needed as none of the
14814s	other players were able to do damage to
14816s	the other players uh in that short time
14819s	frame and it just allowed him to pick up
14822s	all four of those Limbs and clutching up
14824s	for that third MVP of the day as he said
14828s	not back to back but still an impressive
14830s	feat to say the least I believe that
14833s	there's only been a few players who've
14835s	managed to secure that many MVPs on a
14837s	single day I think the the the best
14840s	performance ever I think was from spider
14844s	a while ago I can't remember when Jacob
14847s	qualif was it Jacob qu it was it was
14850s	Jacob regular group stages it was five
14853s	five MVPs in one day yeah no I mean
14857s	that's that's pretty bongers and but hey
14860s	maybe Wu maybe Wu is able to match it
14863s	he's he's one MVP away from being able
14866s	to to match he can't get the six because
14869s	Mike did deny it in game number three
14871s	but he can potentially still match
14873s	spiders record if he's able to get
14875s	another MVP in both game five and game
14878s	six and I mean when you see him in his 1
14881s	V ones and the spacing that he's able to
14883s	find like we get to see a sort of
14886s	evolution of the realm of yangs where a
14889s	lot of players wouldn't really utilize
14891s	the pillars then we saw the scale rushes
14893s	uh of involve with everyone
14895s	understanding if there's like 30 seconds
14896s	left on the clock and you don't have the
14898s	ability to turn the fight around you you
14900s	just kite you basically are just like if
14902s	if I don't win you don't get to win
14903s	either we're both going to be under Yang
14905s	depletion we're both going to have to
14906s	get incredibly aggressive and the lobby
14908s	is going to just dial up in terms of
14909s	aggression but as of late we're seeing a
14911s	lot of these players capitalizing on the
14914s	spacing that scar rushing behind those
14917s	pillars forces you and instead of scill
14919s	rushing to connect onto players behind
14921s	the pillar and putting yourself into a
14923s	position where potentially with the blue
14925s	charge of scill rush you get parried
14928s	we're seeing players utilize the gray
14930s	charge of scill rush to just deny that
14933s	heal reset especially if we have uh
14936s	things like Advanced heal in play like
14938s	it can be so important of being able to
14940s	chase those players away from those
14941s	pillars and make sure that things like
14943s	tunar is not able to to proc and give
14945s	them a leg up in terms of that overall
14947s	sustain and then they just kite them
14949s	into the more open space so that you can
14951s	just go for a little bit of a hop jump
14953s	into a r to into something like a musket
14955s	or a pistol and find that last little
14957s	bit of damage necessary to be able to
14959s	find the kill and we're not just seeing
14960s	it from one player we're seeing it from
14962s	multiple so you really can see that it's
14964s	not just one player pushing the meta
14967s	forward it's sort of everyone in mbpl
14969s	has realized how important and impactful
14971s	denying the pillar resets is in terms of
14974s	the 1 V one power absolutely and denying
14978s	it is not so easy you know it's there
14981s	there's been a sort of meta that's uh
14983s	that's a curred where like getting
14985s	around the pillars and going for these
14986s	heels it's it's sometimes it can just be
14988s	so so difficult to really Chase players
14991s	down around the pillar uh but being like
14995s	effectively being able to do so uh
14998s	certainly gives you a leg up an
15001s	advantage in the um in in in these realm
15005s	of Yang situations but or you just
15007s	Cannon or you just Canon exactly that's
15009s	one of the op one you literally just
15012s	utilize the AOE of of the Cannon and I
15014s	think like that is one of the reasons
15017s	why T25 has been struggling today cuz
15019s	like looking back at the success he was
15021s	able to find his first MVP his first
15024s	bi-weekly finals win in the last
15026s	bi-weekly week of regular season how
15029s	however a lot of the impact that he was
15032s	able to find came through from The Meta
15034s	that he was able to establish in his 1 V
15037s	one Yang fights because when a player
15039s	would go behind the pillar he wouldn't
15041s	scale rush to chase them out he wouldn't
15044s	put himself into a more aggressive
15046s	position where he would close up the
15048s	distance and potentially get caught out
15050s	by a weapon attack coming his way he
15053s	would have a cannon in the back pocket
15055s	with rupture Gale and he would utilize
15057s	the AOE to connect onto the player
15059s	regardless of whether or not they were
15061s	waiting to catch on to him and then
15063s	utilizing the momentum that he was able
15064s	to build up from that advantage in the r
15067s	of Yang and all of the loot that he was
15069s	able to pick up and the Buffs that he
15070s	was able to pick up he would bu and
15073s	scale much faster and hit his power
15075s	spikes much quicker in regards to some
15077s	of the other players in the lobby now
15080s	when we look at him I don't think he's
15081s	won a single R of Yang fight
15085s	today it's it's sometimes it just it is
15089s	what it is it just happens you're just
15090s	not not able to I feel like I brought
15092s	this up countless times but I'm going to
15094s	continue bringing it up chat because
15096s	it's just it's it's an undeniable truth
15099s	that sometimes you just things just
15101s	don't go your way and you can't always
15104s	have things go your way um you you you
15108s	everyone
15109s	is they have their off days you things
15113s	also there's an element of RNG as well
15115s	you know you go into the realm of Yang
15116s	you you you end up in a bad we uh weapon
15119s	matchup situation a bad character
15121s	matchup situation a loot disadvantage
15124s	whatever you know things can happen that
15127s	uh are out of your control and the best
15130s	thing that you can do is just to try
15131s	your best to uh deny those situations
15135s	from ever occurring and mitigating the
15138s	certain RNG factors within the Battle
15141s	Royale uh um like world or or the within
15146s	the Battle Royale scene but it's it
15149s	comes down to consistency as well like
15151s	trying your best to make it so that you
15153s	are consistently able to do well and I
15156s	will say that that does speak to cuz you
15159s	know a lot of people in the past have
15161s	told me Battle Royale games can never be
15163s	competitive and I always disagree
15165s	because if that's the case then why is
15167s	it that certain players are able to
15169s	consistently do well it's because
15171s	they're able to mitigate those RNG
15173s	factors that a lot of people think are
15175s	insurmountable when they certainly are
15178s	not but hey you we we're jumping in to
15182s	this next game enough of that that sort
15185s	of uh that in-depth talk I do love it
15188s	but we've got a game to play Moxy we've
15191s	got these character picks coming through
15192s	and hardi valda and Liam are all banned
15195s	out already yeah we've got one AAS on
15198s	the field as well let's see what Jan
15202s	yuan is going to op so he's going to go
15204s	for the damage control pick which is
15206s	going to be the
15207s	Tami seeing as well that T5 picked that
15210s	Justina as we talked about it is going
15213s	to be very strong to counter Justina
15215s	however Pac are also going to be opting
15218s	to go for the Justina themselves so
15220s	we're going to be seeing a lot of dashes
15222s	potentially we see the V2 come through
15225s	although it does look like a lot of
15226s	these justinas are Fielding towards the
15229s	V1 so that they can have more dashes as
15232s	opposed to the V2 which is limited to
15235s	just the two even though in terms of
15237s	solos multi- fights the V2 can find more
15241s	value with the AOE freeze that occurs as
15244s	so we are going to have to wait and see
15246s	which of these load outs is going to be
15249s	coming on Bru there are potential couple
15251s	of Mix-Ups we've already seen a couple
15253s	of these Liam fi towards the V2 over the
15255s	V1 for that surprise Factor we've
15257s	already discussed the fact that both the
15258s	AOS F1 and F2 are entirely uh viable it
15263s	is going to be the F1 V3 coming in for
15265s	from xan Yuan on that semi so whisper
15268s	resets for days paast is going to be
15271s	opting for the V2 on that Jena alongside
15274s	star T5 however is going to be
15277s	prioritizing more of those dashes and
15279s	going for the V1 option as AIS is going
15282s	to be putting into the F2 for the AOS so
15286s	that raw to confirm into the extension
15289s	as opposed to the F1 with the damage
15291s	ruction and knock
15293s	back indeed so I wanted to I wanted to
15297s	talk about this a little bit earlier
15298s	when we were watching I think it was
15301s	Fong who was uh who was playing AOS on
15304s	the daytime Morris Isle game that we had
15307s	in game number three he was playing F1
15310s	acos and there was a moment where it was
15313s	perfect L demonstrated how F1 can be
15315s	very very useful and can be very good as
15317s	you're able to get a lot of value out of
15319s	the damage reduction but then there was
15321s	another situation where it was again
15322s	perfectly demonstrated that the F1 can
15325s	be mitigated so well as the startup time
15330s	the startup of the of the ability is
15334s	it's not the fastest in the game
15336s	certainly not the fastest but it's not
15338s	slow by any means either however if
15341s	you're expecting it to come out you're
15342s	able to react to it pretty well and
15345s	you're able to dodge the knockback from
15348s	it and then immediately look to uh
15351s	punish the option selection from the
15353s	aass option selection for those of you
15356s	at home who don't know what I mean is
15358s	that uh it's the option selection is
15362s	that is is quite literally the what the
15365s	words mean you know you're selecting an
15367s	option from the options that you have
15369s	the option selection refers to the idea
15372s	of deciding what to do once something
15375s	occurs so option selection in terms of
15377s	wake up when you get up off the ground
15380s	your option selections are typically you
15382s	know um wake up roll into into tap Dodge
15385s	for example wake up into hold Dodge blue
15389s	you know all sorts of different things
15390s	so catching the option selection from an
15393s	acos after he uses his F1 is something
15396s	that you can do very effectively if you
15398s	catch them off guard especially in those
15401s	uh those um sticky situations where it's
15404s	it's all or nothing and one HP but
15406s	speaking of those All or Nothing
15408s	situations it looks as though JIS has
15410s	been oh my goodness he's been put in one
15413s	very very quickly and it's already over
15416s	as purple dagger purple dagger off the
15420s	rip able to immediately burst him down
15423s	one of the first troves this early in
15426s	the game purple dagger oh and he finds
15428s	the power against the Rano into the lmb
15432s	combo breaker does come through from the
15433s	hard so Mike was not able to find the
15435s	full uppercut extension into Soul break
15437s	follow through that he was looking for
15439s	swaps on over to those dual blades for
15442s	the tech Chase hunt down manages to find
15444s	the grapple bump extension as well R
15448s	taking so much damage has got his
15451s	ultimate ready and online but he just
15453s	has to full disengage as he understands
15456s	the loot disparity between himself and
15458s	Mike we might as well be on a different
15460s	map entirely with how stacked mikers in
15463s	comparison we're playing Hol off but
15465s	Mike is currently playing pedor T5 is
15468s	unfortunately caught on Hol off between
15471s	two players who both have him in their
15473s	sights Dodges one of those Val spe
15475s	throwouts Shan Yan manages to find the
15478s	connection onto FP L but he's going to
15480s	eat the one two light stagger lock down
15482s	from the spear to try and get that kill
15485s	does manage to frame through one of the
15488s	dashes T25 looks for the jump into lmb
15491s	butan with the small ch
15493s	is going to be able to shut down a lot
15495s	of the options that the Justina has
15497s	especially since TD5 does not have any
15499s	of those dashes left and is that the
15502s	salty run back from fx's verse I don't
15504s	believe it he's come back into the fight
15506s	with the
15508s	V2 he has indeed a very aggressive
15512s	Choice here from verse thinking that he
15515s	can come back into the fight and pick up
15518s	a an elimination or two and he I believe
15520s	he was able to grab that elimination
15522s	onto T25 however he's now put himself in
15525s	a bit of a bad spot as he is at a
15528s	disadvantage in terms of alt charge and
15532s	armor well total potential armor he had
15535s	Lo he had the the initial armor
15537s	Advantage there Janan hadn't opted to go
15540s	for that reset just yet however it looks
15543s	as though that has now changed and
15546s	they've gone back to neutral at least
15547s	for the moment we'll have to see how
15550s	that fight progresses I believe that uh
15553s	fpx verse will probably look for the
15555s	disengagement as that's the safer option
15557s	having already used his second life
15560s	we're heading on over to plume Castle
15562s	spider in an engagement between oh with
15565s	with woong oh my goodness the fist
15567s	blades Dodge the perfect demonstration
15570s	of how unbelievably good this dodge can
15573s	be but spider he's making oh my goodness
15577s	he made it look easy there able to catch
15580s	him beautifully done by spider and the
15583s	poison Splash was a bit spooky there
15586s	thankfully spider able to get that able
15589s	to get that Soul Bloom and uh quickly
15593s	deny the the the spookiness from the
15595s	poison Splash oh you know he would have
15597s	been so salty that was so many players
15600s	around on that mini map if he was able
15602s	to find the kill and then got taken so
15603s	low by poison Splash that someone just
15605s	scill rushes through and manages to find
15608s	the hit speaking about salty Mike's
15610s	going to be salty cuz he went down off
15611s	screen so he's going to have lost that
15612s	per dagger as we are going to be seeing
15615s	te star trying to come on through up
15618s	against SS one's Pace looks for the pick
15621s	up into the grapple bump charge R&B from
15624s	those Hal justina's both utilizing their
15626s	ultimate but the V2 will be able to find
15627s	the connection onto ss1 space into the
15630s	follow for charged R&B those hits are
15633s	such a good weapon to follow up those
15635s	Justina frees because of high fast that
15637s	charge rmp comes out and the amount of
15639s	damage that it does even if you're able
15641s	to escape the FES with the distance that
15644s	it has you cannot cross through the
15647s	charged R&B of the hits because of how
15649s	wide that actual cone of damage comes
15652s	out from as this is a replay as we I
15655s	believe hadang able to come through this
15658s	I I hate to be the spoiler St dies to
15660s	the slaps you know it's coming oh
15663s	goodness no dying to
15667s	slap live on broadcast is not what you
15671s	want
15674s	what is that that's so get off
15677s	[Laughter]
15681s	me he really got himself a weapon and he
15685s	still died to the slaps don't worry my
15687s	friend we've all been there am dying to
15689s	the slap that is rough indeed it's the
15693s	slap is so good it's so good the single
15696s	hit the the tracking on it the the9 spe
15701s	I'm telling you it it needs to be
15702s	treated like Focus like it needs to be
15704s	taken out of solos keep keep it in trios
15707s	but take it out of solos cuz that blue
15709s	Focus for free without a power
15712s	opportunity I don't know I feel like
15715s	it's it's almost I feel like it's it
15718s	might even be the opposite you know
15719s	because of in solos at the very least
15721s	it's typically something that's only
15723s	going to come out in a one V one
15724s	situation making it slightly more
15726s	manageable but if you're in a situation
15727s	in a one versus two even for only a
15730s	short period of time if one player pulls
15732s	out the slap and the other is just p is
15734s	attacking with weapons you know it can
15736s	be very very difficult to manage and
15738s	actually come out with your life as the
15741s	the slap will deny you from being able
15743s	to Parry and then your your teammate can
15745s	come in with a focus or just with light
15747s	attacks but enough of that wbg spider is
15751s	currently being
15753s	pressured considerably by verse verse
15756s	now popping that valda ultimate
15758s	desperately trying to deny spider this
15761s	realm of Yang entry but spider he wants
15763s	it he knows he can kite this out he's
15766s	been able to do so rather effectively so
15770s	far but now is he going to go into the
15772s	realm of Yang or is he going to chase
15773s	him down Yang yeah definitely the safer
15775s	option leaving the Yang Circle to chase
15778s	that down is probably not the best idea
15781s	and uh going into the realm of Y giving
15782s	yourself the opportunity to take a fight
15784s	and then if you lose come out with uh
15786s	with a rebirth is definitely the better
15788s	option now it's going to be Justina with
15792s	the V1 from T5 up against the AOS a
15795s	already utilizing the F2 but T5 does get
15798s	parried with those fist blades goes for
15800s	the double jump to avoid any follow for
15803s	damage once he's out of that flop state
15805s	has to utilize the F2 now puts himself
15807s	onto the pillar doesn't go for the scar
15809s	goes for the jump lmv managing to
15811s	connect onto AOS who looked for the
15813s	interruption one dash is going to be
15815s	invested however a with the tiger grab
15818s	is going to be able to Gold frame
15820s	forward doesn't manage to Gold frame out
15822s	of the second te able to come through
15824s	into the grapple bump into second
15825s	grapple bump into to jump and be into
15828s	freeze the Justino ultimate and AIS gets
15832s	left Frozen in the
15835s	cold that is uh that is rough but very
15839s	nicely done by T225 playing around those
15842s	dashes extremely well the first one
15845s	being negated by the Tiger but
15847s	immediately recovering and finding the
15849s	value from the secondary Dash in to that
15853s	freeze into the reset and here we jump
15855s	on over to Tar who was definitely on the
15858s	front foot in this situation when do we
15860s	swapped over the dictating the pace of
15863s	that fight having full advantage in
15865s	terms of effective Health able to take
15868s	down spider in that situation and secure
15871s	that realm of Yang Victory but here on
15874s	the outside looks as though tt25 is not
15876s	slowing down he is trying to chase down
15879s	JD G's uh chuong who's now found himself
15884s	kiting around this ballista Tower one of
15887s	those really good spots to kite on but
15890s	it's still it might be a bit rough if
15893s	he's if another player shows up here or
15896s	if T225 looks to fully commit and Rush
15898s	him down with that ultimate as he is in
15902s	well well within his right and ability
15904s	to do so as he does have that Vermillion
15906s	BS might so even if he does go down
15908s	having utilized his ultimate a bit too
15910s	early he's going to come back to life
15913s	with that Vilan bird might but instead
15915s	of that we're going to be taking a look
15917s	at a a a a rematch between a wbg spider
15922s	and te star looks as though spider is
15925s	actually on the front foot here as
15927s	opposed to how it was in the realm of
15928s	Yang forcing out that Justina ultimate
15930s	relatively early although he lost some
15932s	of his armor still in Advantage State te
15936s	star coming back on in very willing to
15938s	take the fight as he has that vilon bird
15940s	might spider beautiful catch Beau
15943s	prediction and Reed onto te star
15946s	catching him on that uh oh does he the
15950s	no get he doesn't he catches him does
15953s	such a good job but now it's all to
15955s	waste as verse comes in and steals the
15958s	soul blo away Moxy oh that's SL of hand
15963s	oh that's SL of hand and then he gets
15965s	caught up into the vder V2 spare as well
15968s	and to add insult to injury to add salt
15970s	in the wound that is T star who revived
15974s	at the soul alar right next to where the
15977s	fight is going on he's identified that
15980s	spider is the player that he defeated
15983s	inside realm of Yang and thus he's going
15985s	to be on Yang deflation and has to keep
15987s	the fight going which means third party
15989s	opportunity for this Jena spider with
15992s	the jump lmb catches onto fx's verse
15996s	trying to go for the light attack lock
15998s	down has to be careful because there is
15999s	a third party coming into play from jdd
16001s	shuang who's looking to try and get in
16004s	between these two players spider doesn't
16006s	have his ultimate anymore does have the
16007s	combo break but fx's vers is looking to
16010s	kite into the city of Tang to break away
16013s	from Los of all of these players in the
16016s	area and cut noise can he managed to
16020s	escape the focus of spider before Yang
16023s	depletion takes this Liam down spider
16025s	swwa on over to the fist blade so he can
16028s	get the damage hits in a little bit
16029s	faster as well as try to push in with
16032s	these jump lmb's understanding that
16034s	verse is literally just going to
16036s	continue to kite on infinite away from
16039s	him one two do we manage to find any of
16043s	the lock down the jump lmbs verse
16045s	looking for the jump har he doesn't
16047s	manage to find it has to utilize the F2
16049s	to escape before spider can come through
16051s	with the punishment but time is a luxury
16053s	that is not on spider's side and
16056s	unfortunately for him if he doesn't find
16058s	this kill soon he's going to be out of
16060s	this Lobby whether or not he can lock
16062s	the V down no way this is so intense
16067s	spider he's doing an extremely good job
16070s	of catching of staying on fbx versus
16074s	heels but as I said that he does break
16077s	away and finally managed to find a
16080s	little bit of breathing room to get a
16081s	reset but spider the timer is ticking
16084s	down almost left oh he's on 35 seconds
16087s	and counting he's found his Target yet
16089s	again but the problem is that verse the
16091s	longer he kites away the longer he
16093s	survives the more time he has to
16096s	regenerate that ultimate and if he does
16098s	manage to get that ultimate back on line
16100s	he is not going to be going down within
16103s	within this time and I believe spider
16106s	might now be contemplating the simply
16109s	letting himself die to that Yang
16111s	depletion and going quietly into the
16113s	night into the storm it looks as though
16115s	that's exactly what is going to happen
16117s	here spider is going to oh I think
16123s	he's he's he's giving a kill over to
16126s	Liam I believe I believe I think that's
16128s	what just happened I'm not really sure
16131s	but he does he's like all screw this
16136s	Val have
16138s	it oh that's so unfortunate this however
16142s	this is a match I've been waiting to see
16143s	for a very long time because Stars R of
16146s	Yang fights have been absolutely
16147s	exemplary and he is going to be going up
16150s	against Mike it is going to be the
16151s	Justino V two we're going to see both of
16153s	these players exchanging Skywalk blows
16156s	with those dual blades Mike on the Liam
16158s	still holding on to this combo break
16160s	comes on through with the hit s going to
16162s	be utilizing the F2 cancels out of it
16164s	early to try and just get a little bit
16166s	of tempo again Mike manages to find the
16168s	jump par the Liam having to use the F to
16171s	be able to recover one dash has been
16172s	invested unfortunately the thing about
16174s	the V2 is you only get two dashes star's
16176s	only got one left he goes into the oric
16179s	gets stunned out utilizes that next V2
16183s	Dash but panics and sends out the focus
16185s	strike without having been able to
16187s	connect onto the freeze now he's gotten
16189s	pared puts himself onto the top of that
16192s	pillar swaps and over to the p with the
16193s	charge R&V look try and come through
16195s	with that SC rush but Mike is able to
16197s	come through a little bit faster with
16199s	the charged R&B into the grapple bump
16201s	into the de blade follow through and
16204s	Mike is going to be able to win out the
16206s	real of in the meantime we've still got
16209s	the Justina versus the tmy charge El on
16212s	the dagger into the V1 fre catches on
16215s	toan butan with the Parry will be able
16218s	to find a charge lmb into Soul break of
16220s	his own does T25 have any of the sustain
16223s	necessary goes for the jump lmb reset
16225s	gets another Freeze from the V1 and
16228s	comes on through with the win and it's
16230s	backto back real of Yang wiins batito
16232s	do5 who might be playing a frost based
16234s	hero but it's currently on absolute
16237s	fire absolutely I like that one Moxy
16240s	that was a good one that was that was an
16243s	excellent one there but you are
16245s	absolutely right tt25 he is gaming on
16248s	this Justina a very I feel like this is
16251s	this is kind more of his kind of
16252s	character he loves his fastpaced
16255s	characters Justina is certainly one of
16257s	them the V1 definitely is his kind of uh
16262s	his kind of play style and he's doing
16263s	extremely well with it unfortunately he
16265s	did lose his golden dagger in the RM of
16266s	Yang which Juan is now making full use
16269s	of as taking this fight against te star
16272s	the freeze comes through oh but chuang
16275s	out of nowhere in the wings just comes
16278s	in with that pistol shot denying the
16280s	elimination and I believe get the bom
16283s	though yeah T225 got the bloom instead
16286s	and oh he's in all and to get stuck in
16289s	the sand W the armor SWS coming through
16290s	for one1 he's still alive but it's not
16293s	looking as though it's going to last for
16295s	very much longer the the Liam ultimate
16298s	coming through the dash coming in
16299s	unfortunately T25 I believe went for
16301s	another Dash but he didn't have one at
16303s	his disposal so he ended up using an F
16306s	there his all just timed out not able to
16309s	pick up the kill unfortunately but uh
16312s	it's not a bad spot to be in regardless
16314s	he does still have those two kills he is
16317s	still in a good spot with the and the no
16321s	tamy left either to to have to deal with
16324s	if we do go to those final Zone Mike now
16327s	going to be taking the fight against K
16329s	25 who as you pointed out does not have
16331s	the ultim I think he died early to try
16334s	and save some of that rage as you can
16336s	see that he does have a lot of it back
16340s	on that V1 he knew that there were a lot
16342s	of players in the area and didn't really
16344s	want to find himself going down after
16347s	the ultimate had warn through as Mike
16350s	has the exact same idea see that there
16352s	are too many players around back off
16354s	goes for a little bit of a reset before
16356s	coming back in with armor fully healed
16359s	when for the red flash of Parry doesn't
16361s	manage to time it two5 though coming
16363s	under pressure supped to utilize that F2
16366s	to try and make up for all of the damage
16368s	of range weapons coming through from
16369s	these players but the Justina gets sent
16371s	up into the sky Mike with the swap onto
16374s	the cannon almost found the confirmation
16376s	Kill Shot onto T25 who does have that V1
16379s	back into the mix and he's going to
16381s	utilize one of those dashes to full
16383s	break away from this fight still has two
16386s	left here his name is utilizing the
16389s	ceiling hang interaction to set those
16391s	sces up with that legendary fan as
16393s	quickly as he possibly can so that he
16395s	still has those dashes if more of these
16397s	players start trying to chase onto him
16399s	now he's only got one left goes for
16401s	another scale Rush still hasn't been
16403s	able to break away the grapple
16404s	connection has been found onto Mike
16406s	holds him in place long enough for Shan
16408s	to come through with the Char R&B on
16409s	that staff the second that justtin out
16411s	of the F2 every single one of these
16413s	players is going to be directly on top
16415s	of him T5 has been forced into armor
16418s	swapping out of the legendary Into the
16420s	Blue losers the fan to the Parry coming
16423s	through from Mike loses all of the armor
16426s	to every single bit of pressure coming
16428s	through from these players no one wants
16430s	the Justina to live long enough to get
16433s	to the third party heal off potential
16436s	coming on a and the F2 is going to try
16439s	and just keep 25 a little bit alive
16442s	longer but the writing is on the wall he
16445s	will fall the Justina has been removed
16447s	and with that kill taken away everyone
16450s	splits off to their own separate
16452s	space indeed they do they're all uh
16456s	recovering now healing up resetting
16459s	making sure that they have their
16460s	resources topped up Mike heading on over
16464s	to the shop immediately chuong just
16467s	immediately going past him looking to
16469s	potentially re agress onto some of these
16470s	other players or just to to get a lay of
16473s	the land moving forwards into these
16476s	final moments of the game and it looks
16477s	as though multiple players have uh have
16481s	had some handshake agreements that
16483s	they're not going to be focusing each
16485s	other down as they would be
16488s	counterintuitive as they uh if they were
16490s	to uh to do so they themselves would end
16494s	up getting focused down by the remaining
16496s	players in the lobby looks as though
16499s	chuong and Mike have some have have such
16503s	an agreement and are going to be moving
16506s	so basically in unison around the map
16510s	rotating though yeah there's the double
16513s	vder over there the double Liam and I I
16516s	believe there's a hardi as well in the
16518s	lobby yeah aano on the hardi so these
16522s	Liams probably going to try their best
16524s	to to force out these cooldowns from the
16527s	from the valers and the Hardis but they
16530s	uh they can definitely find themselves
16532s	getting focused down so that's why
16533s	they're sticking together in this
16534s	situation as uh I believe these valders
16539s	and this hardi are very happy to take it
16541s	to a situation because they definitely
16544s	going to take it to cont Spirit Well
16547s	because both of these Liams I have
16549s	legendary armor is one of the advantages
16553s	that they have over the vder so if it
16554s	does go through in that suain fight
16557s	these vaers are going to be forced to
16559s	using the V2 a lot faster than these
16562s	Liams and now we are going to see both
16564s	of these players just playing full
16567s	gatekeep right now for protection of
16570s	that Spirit well Mike with that ramp
16572s	utilizing the purple frame Focus so that
16574s	he doesn't get par does get dropped down
16576s	onto byana with stanson into the charged
16580s	R&B so that silence is going to be
16582s	making it a little bit harder for some
16584s	of those players who rely on those
16586s	abilities to keep themselves held into
16588s	that space however the Liams were the
16590s	ones who were going to secure that
16592s	Spirit well Mike has been able to pick
16594s	himself up white tiger for as well as
16596s	that loot locked legendary set of armor
16599s	and now he's going for the full pressure
16601s	onto the party got the assault smolder
16603s	on that grapple attack orano already
16606s	going to be forced into throwing in that
16609s	Hardy V2 just trying to lose his
16613s	pursuers amongst all of the space left
16616s	in this Zone can he break away better
16619s	yet can he lead them into the vaers in
16622s	the hopes that the vaers will take the
16624s	fight against the Liam there's the
16626s	sansin he tried to go through for the
16628s	follow up but Mike is able to find the
16631s	parry and believe he made off with the
16633s	staff as well so orano might have to S
16635s	it but I don't think he has the weapon
16637s	left to use it no I perhaps not he swap
16641s	he does swap over to the fan here try
16644s	and use that uh extremely fast scale
16646s	rush to break away and find the reset
16649s	that he needs looks as though he's gone
16651s	for the double back and it's actually
16653s	gone unnoticed as the oh my goodness the
16657s	Liams are preoccupied by taking down
16660s	these valders and there it is ver is
16663s	actually going to eat the double or
16665s	maybe even triple Moon Bane hit
16669s	completely denying the uh the ultimate
16672s	there unfortunately for him he's just
16674s	not able to get it off he does just get
16677s	bursted down
16679s	instantaneously and now Fong is the only
16681s	valer left alive and is going to be
16683s	tasked with trying to stay as
16686s	inconspicuous and Mike has a valiant
16689s	challenge scroll so that he can the
16692s	position of these other
16694s	players yep that is so so rough
16699s	as for sure like both arano and Fong get
16704s	to see that red circle so they do have
16706s	some understanding of where Mike is
16708s	going to be approaching them from but
16710s	this is going to give them absolutely
16712s	zero rest F there is no place of safety
16716s	they can currently hide there's a couple
16718s	of invisibility bushes but they're still
16720s	going to get picked up by by those
16722s	valian chall Scrolls coming on through
16725s	as you can tell that with that one Mike
16726s	has been able to spot out what ewg's
16728s	arano was arano just holding on to that
16731s	World Wind spout animation for as long
16733s	as he possibly can trying to just har
16736s	some of the damage from the cannon of
16739s	the Liam who's not in the front line
16741s	goes for the full scale Rush Mike
16744s	chasing him down this is one of those
16746s	faces that these players can just skill
16748s	Rush continuously back and forth from
16751s	which is really good news for the hard
16753s	as he's going to do absolutely
16754s	everything that he can to try and
16755s	survive into that heal of situation the
16757s	hopes of being able to utilize this V2
16760s	and knock these players into that
16762s	corruption tick damage especially with
16763s	that burn pressure as drg's f is not
16767s	going to want to be taking a fight
16768s	against the hard they may be on
16770s	different Heroes but both these players
16772s	cannot take a fight against each other
16774s	because then they're forced to utilizing
16775s	their ultimate Fong unfortunately is
16777s	going to be forcing utilizing his
16778s	ultimate regardless Mike with the
16780s	pressure is able to take more than
16782s	enough Health to force Fong's hand and
16785s	with that V2 press it out Mike's job is
16788s	done the vder doesn't have the ultimate
16790s	for heal off and he moves back into
16792s	trying to find the head onto the Hardy
16794s	might come back and haunt him though
16796s	because Fong with the spit found the
16797s	drop down into blistering Edge follow
16800s	through but unfortunately that's all his
16802s	V2 is going to be able to pick him up
16804s	and OG's Mike still had that legendary
16806s	armor in the back pocket that he had
16808s	from picking up that Spirit Well all
16810s	that time ago goes for the armor Swap
16812s	and is right back into the mix indeed
16816s	and on on top of all of that he wasn't
16818s	forced to use that ultimate either so
16821s	it's he's still in uh the driver seat
16824s	he's still going to be policing this
16827s	lobby as he has been doing so having had
16831s	that the that white Tiger's prowess buff
16833s	to his name and then also that red
16836s	Bounty giving him full information on
16839s	where these players are he's very happy
16842s	to just continue to do exactly this so I
16845s	believe he also may have Aurora burst in
16848s	his back pocket with that golden hang
16850s	sword I'm not too sure we'll have to
16852s	wait and see he's been he's been
16853s	swapping between the uh the Hang Sword
16856s	and the dual blades so uh we shall see
16860s	as the game progresses onwards Fong
16863s	going Skyhigh with this golden pul sword
16866s	trying to stay in the sky out of danger
16869s	from the uh from the death that lies
16872s	below the rupture Gale orb acting as
16876s	such a annoying and tedious force to be
16880s	reckoned with here constantly chipping
16882s	down your health forcing you to use
16885s	those valuable resources that you have
16887s	in your inventory Fong now immediately
16890s	getting pressured by Mike again the
16891s	Rampage coming through the combo break
16893s	being forced out dipping into the zone
16895s	for a moment Fong does find rest bite at
16899s	the top of this Tower able to Keel for a
16901s	moment but immediately again getting
16904s	pressure applied to him by Mike with
16907s	this Rampage with this hung sword F now
16909s	in a very sticky situation the cannon
16912s	doing so much Fong scale rushing upwards
16915s	but is he going to be allowed to heal up
16917s	yet again I don't believe he is the
16919s	combo break comes through Cho chuong
16922s	with that fan R&B forcing him out
16924s	forcing him off this terrain the rupture
16926s	Gale flame Breath Again coming through
16928s	cutting these heals in half and he only
16930s	has one Vitalia left to his name one
16932s	healing Barry Moxy it is not looking
16935s	good for Fong he's 20% away from the
16938s	ultimate can he hold on he's got the fan
16940s	he's looking for the scale Rush The
16942s	Flame breath does manage to connect onto
16943s	him though and his hell far is going to
16945s	tank he makes one desperate Last Stand
16948s	to come through with the combo break and
16949s	maybe do enough damage with the charge
16951s	vertical and that Fant bu into the
16952s	ultimate but Al last it's not to be and
16955s	now it is going to be two Liams versus
16957s	one Hardy before we see both Liams face
16961s	off Rano does still have that V2 he's
16963s	going to hold on to it for as long as he
16964s	possibly can potentially it isn't even
16967s	the 1 V one it might just go all the way
16969s	to the heal off you are indeed correct
16971s	Aurora burst is going to be in play Mike
16973s	just standing solemn on the very low
16976s	ground preventing either player from
16979s	getting into the safety away from that
16980s	corruption storm damage as Mike uses the
16983s	teleport on that ultimate to put himself
16985s	back away from the corruption damage to
16987s	give himself the advantage of winning
16989s	against these players that have already
16991s	been BR low got the soul Bloom reset
16994s	from his Fallen Liam's body and with
16998s	that will be the last player standing
17001s	Mike walks away the second MVP for him
17005s	of this day indeed is it just all X1 and
17011s	ug today Mike and wuang just dominating
17015s	able to secure the MVPs no other players
17018s	managed to get their hands on an MVP so
17020s	far today although many have come close
17023s	they just simply haven't been able to
17025s	just push it over the edge and secure it
17027s	fully but uh hey we'll see perhaps uh
17031s	perhaps Mike will come in for the uh
17034s	with in the final game of the day with
17035s	another MVP and it will be 33 who knows
17037s	they're definitely competing for each
17039s	other at the moment in first and second
17041s	spot but the question is was that enough
17044s	for Mike to overtake wuang on the total
17048s	leaderboard it may be as he did have a
17051s	few few kills quite a few kills
17053s	unfortunately for fog that was probably
17055s	his best game so far today he had three
17058s	eliminations when he did finally go down
17061s	in the end but uh still he wasn't able
17064s	to fully capitalize on those
17066s	eliminations he accumulated for himself
17069s	and it's it's rough you know you you you
17071s	finally get a good game and you just
17073s	can't get full value you know you can
17075s	get a decent amount but you just can't
17077s	fully capitalize and get as much as you
17080s	really want
17082s	yeah I mean it's really unfortunate but
17084s	speaking about what you want what you at
17086s	home in chat are going to want is to
17089s	answer this question because you're
17091s	running out of opportunities to be able
17093s	to do so which player used AOS who in
17096s	game number 5 was it a K's T225 was it B
17101s	fx's verse was it C jil's AIS or was it
17106s	D te start get your answers into chat
17110s	and if you have it correct you might be
17112s	walking away with one of the Summers
17113s	split random gifts and I say you're
17115s	running out of opportunities we're
17117s	running out of Summers split streams
17119s	dunk this is about to be the last game
17123s	of solos pre-finals then we have six
17125s	games of trios pre-finals tomorrow and
17128s	then we only have 12 more matches of the
17132s	mvpl summit season before we get ready
17135s	to prepare for Jacob we do indeed
17139s	speaking of preparing for Jacob there is
17141s	a small announcement that I think would
17145s	like to make but we'll make it in a
17147s	moment as we do have a good look at the
17150s	scoreboard off the back of that game
17152s	Mike coming in with five eliminations
17154s	and that first place finish with three
17156s	ranking points taking up to a total of
17159s	nine game score ewg arano coming in in
17164s	second with 7 points five kills as well
17166s	chuong on five 6.5 total Fong on three
17170s	elimination but as I said not able to
17173s	fully capitalize on those few
17174s	eliminations he did manage to get only
17176s	netting himself 4.5 total points K T225
17180s	hang it a pretty solid game winning both
17182s	of his yangs but just getting caught in
17184s	a bad spot after uh after the real of
17187s	Yang in that Yang depletion situation
17190s	getting it taken down out in the open
17192s	not where you want to be unfortunately
17194s	but thankfully for Fong he has taken
17197s	himself up off the bottom of the
17199s	leaderboard now climbing up just a a
17201s	little bit taking him up to the 10th
17203s	spot and uh but hey this is what I
17205s	wanted to see this is what I wanted to
17207s	check woong having his first bad game of
17211s	the day gives room for Mike to catch up
17214s	and close that gap between himself and
17216s	wuang 31.7 for wufong and the ug's Mike
17221s	on
17221s	30.5 in second and a considerable gap
17225s	between second and third with spider on
17227s	22 arano on 15.5 another chunky Gap
17231s	and verse on 15 and chuong on
17235s	13.5 but very it it has felt all you
17239s	know it has felt really good for for
17241s	wufong and Mike today we definitely had
17243s	our eyes on them they've been performing
17245s	extremely well uh but it still felt
17248s	pretty competitive so far today I would
17249s	say Moxy uh as we're about to take a
17252s	look again at some of these replays
17254s	brought to you by Thunder robot a very
17257s	nice outplay there from spider take it
17260s	away Moxy unfortunately Pace I remember
17262s	seeing his face here he was not very
17264s	happy about this was absolutely gorgeous
17268s	just oh the grapple bump into jump
17271s	juggle with lmv into red Dash from the
17274s	justtin here's the moment that spider
17276s	got griefed out of picking up a soul
17279s	Bloom by alone valder you just see the
17282s	valda pop up a little bit of the
17285s	shoulder on the right side of the camera
17286s	screen before spider was able to grab
17288s	that bloom as we're going to be having a
17290s	look now at Mike's realm of Yang against
17293s	tea getting to come on through with the
17296s	grapple bump extension there T25 winning
17298s	his second round of Yang jump lmb stting
17301s	up the next St of that V1 before Mike
17304s	comes through with the Rampage and is
17306s	able to catch onto that Tami
17308s	unfortunately T5 just getting zoned away
17311s	into that corruption damage into the
17313s	follow through catch of that Liam
17316s	ultimate and you can see that a lot of
17318s	the stress is starting to get to some of
17319s	these players on the stage
17321s	yeah absolutely you can see it on the
17323s	phase of T225 there he was not happy
17326s	about that
17327s	one especially off the back of having
17329s	won the the most recent bi-weekly final
17333s	to come into this and not be in that top
17335s	six bracket is certainly a a an an
17340s	impact to his mental state you know like
17342s	when you when you do well and then you
17346s	have and then you you're expected to do
17348s	well in the in the upcoming series or
17350s	upcoming games and then you don't it is
17353s	very very rough to uh to deal with
17355s	mentally but taking a look here quickly
17357s	at these stats from Mike a huge
17360s	performance from him at I think his 11th
17363s	MVP and that's That's Mike having not
17366s	had the best split either you know
17369s	that's kind of
17370s	crazy it may well be the 12th if he
17373s	continues with the momentum that he's
17375s	been able to pick up and I think that
17377s	was the reason why we saw like so much
17379s	pain in t5's face that was his best game
17382s	so far of the day like you not only did
17384s	he win his two Ram Yanks but he was also
17386s	coming in with a lot of lot that being
17389s	said we'll be coming in with game number
17391s	six right after this short break
17396s	[Music]
17407s	[Music]
17411s	no look
17417s	[Music]

17641s	[Music]
17650s	hello and welcome back ladies and
17652s	gentlemen I am Dunkey donut one of your
17654s	casts alongside the lovely Moxy we are
17657s	going to be bringing you the sixth and
17660s	final game of the day very very soon as
17664s	these players are getting ready to go
17665s	into the last game of the day and uh
17669s	although it's not one of those finals
17671s	days it is it is the prefinal so the
17674s	more points you take uh will take home
17677s	today the more points you're going to be
17679s	taking forwards in the grand finals next
17682s	week 20% in fact so the more points the
17685s	better the that little cushion that
17688s	gives you the allows you to have
17689s	potentially a slower start in the in the
17691s	grand finals or just having there just a
17693s	few extra points that can mean the
17695s	difference between taking home first
17697s	place and uh and not you know it can
17701s	really be that slim of of a difference
17705s	that decides such a massive result but
17708s	here we are taking a look at woong
17711s	sitting back talking with his coach
17713s	strategizing for the final game of the
17715s	day a player who has done extremely well
17719s	today Moxy three MVPs so far two in a
17723s	row and then there was a quick break
17725s	where Mike got himself his hands on an
17727s	MVP and then he picked up another one uh
17730s	this fifth game that would just happened
17732s	he did it was his worst game so far
17734s	today his only zero point game what uh
17739s	hey is he going to be able to recover is
17741s	question yeah speaking as well about why
17743s	it's so important that these players do
17745s	well in the pre-finals they're going to
17748s	be under the match point eligibility
17749s	system so even though they're only
17751s	taking 20% of points forward uh you were
17754s	doing the maps a little bit earlier
17755s	about the points that like Wong had
17757s	already been able to pick up being ared
17759s	by the six Mark and he still has a
17762s	couple like he still has this game to to
17764s	go before we fully divide up that 20%
17767s	Match Point eligibility cut off in solos
17770s	is 28
17772s	points so if he's able to put together
17775s	something like eight points he only
17777s	needs
17779s	20 to be able to come through with that
17782s	mvp eligibility and then that puts so
17785s	many more of these players into that
17788s	extra level of stress where they don't
17789s	just have to think about their own
17791s	performance they also have to think
17792s	about circumventing another players
17795s	performance which can be a lot and we do
17799s	see Time After Time After Time
17801s	players just folding beneath the
17803s	pressure of having to have those two
17805s	conditions constantly spinning those two
17808s	plates for every single game after a
17810s	player has been able to hit MVP
17811s	eligibility
17814s	status this is yeah I mean like
17818s	being with the with this new rule set
17820s	it's certain players have have like
17823s	excelled with it and some players
17825s	haven't some players have even voided
17827s	the the dislike of the new system as it
17830s	does end up putting you in that
17833s	situation not only with um with match
17836s	point being well with match point being
17837s	a factor and then also the the game
17839s	points being different now that only the
17841s	first place player gets that kill
17843s	multiplier it it's it's a lot has
17845s	changed from how it used to be and uh
17849s	certain players especially in recent
17851s	times in this split have not been able
17854s	to make those adjustments and haven't
17857s	have they just been they've had their
17859s	sort of crown taken away from like
17861s	leading up to this most recent split we
17864s	had Mike and spider it was Mike and
17866s	spider show it was rare to see any other
17869s	player other than these two Come Away
17871s	with a bi-weekly win but now it's become
17874s	more and
17876s	more uh obvious and clear to these
17878s	players that it is very very possible
17881s	absolutely as I think spider took one
17884s	biweekly win this split but the other
17887s	three were different players it wasn't
17888s	Mike or spider yeah we we had shishang
17892s	we had a
17894s	T5 they were able to find their and past
17896s	as well yeah past yeah it's in Mike did
17901s	not get a single he didn't get a single
17903s	by weekly final one no he did not and
17906s	it's also strange to see I will say that
17910s	it's almost been a curse where a player
17912s	has one by-weekly finals and then in the
17916s	following bi-weekly not even qualified
17919s	not even qualified for B finals which is
17921s	crazy to think about yeah well
17924s	we both Pac and um Shang had to go for
17929s	Last Chance
17932s	qus yeah and last chance qus even though
17935s	I did miss it I've heard that it was a
17938s	doozy it was not a uh it was it wasn't
17942s	relaxed to say the least it was nail
17945s	biter apparently I was I was in bed
17948s	resing up but uh yeah I I did hear about
17952s	it I Al I was also very sad to hear that
17956s	um Frost ofus and wangang didn't make it
17958s	in to these pre-finals unfortunately it
17962s	is what it is you know I said this
17964s	earlier it happens it happens and uh
17967s	perhaps we will see them again in
17969s	Futures I'm sure we will but for the
17972s	moment we've got our game six coming up
17974s	Moxy and if there was a game for it this
17978s	is it for taka to be picked nighttime
17981s	Morris isle is one of tak's best maps
17984s	and I would not be surprised if we saw a
17986s	player bring it out but then again you
17989s	know it's it's pretty hit or miss it can
17991s	be pretty rough as we've seen in the
17993s	past when it has been picked up it's
17995s	rarely done all that well and whether or
17998s	not you're willing to risk it is the
18000s	question what do you reckon Moxy I mean
18003s	so many of these players have picked up
18005s	Tammy as a sort of connector in terms of
18008s	hero points I don't know if we'll see
18011s	the tker uh like you said we have seen
18014s	it we've seen a singular tker the entire
18019s	nbpl summer season T we've seen more
18022s	than that we've seen more than that oh
18024s	yeah no we finals but not in by weekly
18027s	finals but I think we've seen either two
18029s	or
18030s	three but there's there's definitely
18033s	more favorite Heroes that
18037s	uh that these players will will
18040s	prioritize even though I I know you were
18043s	so excited for the F2 buff to come
18045s	through where it blocks both ranged and
18049s	mow weapons but I mean Justina and tamy
18054s	and vda finding her way back into the
18056s	mix even though kylin has sort of not so
18059s	much been fully eliminated from solom
18062s	meta but is is definitely a rare sight
18065s	in comparison to his earlier uh pickups
18068s	in this season just mean there a couple
18070s	of other Heroes that these players can
18072s	burn through in terms of points I mean
18075s	it's I will say that the F2 F2 buff was
18078s	predominantly a change that was
18080s	impactful for trios but we still haven't
18083s	seen him in trios and and although it's
18086s	it's possible we may do considering that
18088s	kyen Hardy zipping composition has just
18091s	disappeared out the window so C too that
18096s	yeah that's true true actually we
18099s	haven't really talked about it at today
18100s	we've been very preoccupied but Syra the
18103s	newest character ladies and gentlemen
18106s	has recently come onto the test server
18109s	for uh for the N test server and uh
18113s	she's definitely pretty interesting as a
18116s	say the least if you haven't also
18118s	checked it out do so but after this game
18121s	of course as we're going to be jumping
18122s	in very soon but do check out the
18124s	official Mara YouTube channel as they've
18127s	released a trailer for the newest
18130s	character for Cyra and uh she's
18132s	definitely going to be changing things
18134s	up I think when she does finally hit
18136s	live servers but we'll have to see in
18139s	what state she does finally arrive and
18141s	I'm also very sad to say that there was
18143s	not a fire dog picked up here in our
18146s	final game of the day you know it's uh
18150s	it's not the most common pick and it's
18152s	certainly not done all that well when it
18154s	has been picked up so it's that
18157s	inherently is somewhat of a deterrent
18158s	for players to try him out
18160s	and but I do think that with kylin going
18164s	so of somewhat out of the mattera now
18166s	he's certainly much more viable you know
18169s	looking at these character lineups right
18171s	now it's not the all of these characters
18175s	I would say except perhaps Hardy is a
18179s	pretty even matchup for taka it's but
18183s	that's the thing and the main thing when
18186s	it comes to character picks in mvpl in
18188s	this competitive environment in solos is
18191s	more focused on whether or not a
18193s	character can do well in multi-way fight
18196s	situations that's to say that whether or
18199s	not it a character can perform well
18201s	survive come out on top with some kills
18204s	at least you know in those situations
18206s	where there's four people fighting in a
18208s	in a small area you know and tker is one
18210s	of those characters that unfortunately
18212s	just does not do that he's not able to
18214s	do it very often as long unless there
18216s	are multiple other characters that
18219s	inherently don't do all that well in
18221s	multiway situations which is not a very
18224s	common situation to find yourself in yes
18227s	it should be noted as well that we do
18229s	have two Liams but we have one using V1
18232s	and arano back to his Shenanigans with
18235s	the V2 to come through although given
18239s	the fact that he's already used that
18240s	once I'm not sure if these players will
18242s	be expecting it a little bit more now so
18245s	we're going to be having a look at x1's
18247s	weing on this Tammy potentially going
18249s	head to-head early on against either Jan
18251s	Yuan or Mike in that multiwave fight
18256s	Lu's Mike with the F2 is going to Ken
18258s	over to the Bell get a better idea of
18260s	his surroundings there's the F2 into the
18263s	uppercut extension guaranteed with those
18265s	nonu to come for he's kiing out the
18267s	fight as well so if he finds an uppercut
18269s	extension he's going to be able to get
18271s	more jump lmb juggles coming out as W
18274s	and will be able to get a little bit of
18276s	Health deter onto M with the charge r&
18279s	be back back to back he's able to catch
18281s	Mike with that one before juanan can
18284s	come through and threaten to steal away
18287s	that kill w will be able to find the
18289s	Parry as well as janian look to release
18291s	that focus and Clank against the charged
18293s	lmb and Wang now able to find another
18296s	uppercut connection into the jump lmb
18299s	extension finds two kills very quickly
18302s	off of the
18303s	rip is this going to be it Moxy is wuon
18306s	going to come away with the fourth MVP
18309s	of the day or is it not going to happen
18312s	we will have to see I don't want to make
18314s	any predictions as to cast to curse the
18317s	uh the the goat of the day undeniably
18321s	considering he has the most MVP so far
18324s	and is currently sat at top the mountain
18327s	of this leaderboard here with
18330s	33.7 but oh oh wait wait a minute wait
18336s	past okay okay I see you spicy I was I
18341s	was about to say bit of a blunder there
18344s	Pace just uh muscle memory you know just
18347s	uh ruining his combo but no he pulled
18349s	something crazy out of the bag that I
18351s	was not expecting a nunchuck grapple
18355s	combo but I believe that he wasn't able
18357s	to to fully to fully execute it and in
18361s	fact ended up actually catching the
18362s	Dodge of that player out of that F3 very
18367s	nicely done regardless though but now in
18369s	a bit of a tough situation running up
18372s	against chuong who's just stealing all
18374s	of his weapons and he's got him so low
18377s	HP forced him to use this ultimate past
18380s	is in a dire situation it is not looking
18382s	too good for him Pace I armoring through
18386s	this oric sword activation However
18389s	unfortunately he does not have enough
18391s	time on that ultimate to stay alive and
18396s	uh and survive the tech Chase from that
18399s	player from Chong and he is going to get
18402s	taken down here but heading on over we
18404s	got X1 Wu Moxy is going to go down he
18408s	has no res it is the rematch wufong was
18412s	able to take Mike down off of the rip
18414s	Mike doesn't have that F2 doesn't have
18416s	any of his armor either neither does
18419s	wang though both of these players trying
18422s	to find that in the charge are and
18424s	looking for the max range Parry on it
18427s	it's going to throw in that semi
18428s	ultimate looking to isolate but Mike
18430s	still going to be able to come through
18431s	with the charge R&B to force the F out
18435s	will be able this time around to change
18438s	the history and come out with the win do
18441s	we see wan go for the salty
18444s	RB cuz he he was thinking about it he
18447s	was hovering around that Soul alter on
18449s	the mini map he knows that uh Mike does
18451s	not have that revive that's we're going
18454s	to be having look at ewg's AR looking to
18456s	try and drop down from the rooftop with
18457s	the charged R&B anticipating here seanan
18461s	on that door frame exit doesn't find the
18463s	uppercut connection will be able to find
18465s	the par of for the combo break from the
18467s	tum we are going to see the attempt at
18469s	the V2 catch misses the first one still
18472s	has another to and he's going to go for
18474s	the UT ex grapple bump extension into
18477s	charg R&B and then when the tmy is in
18480s	the Flop State on the ground and cannot
18481s	Dodge the V2 cast he will be able to
18484s	find the scoop and the subsequent
18487s	kill very nicely done by now picking up
18491s	his second elimination andanan being
18493s	fully eliminated from the lobby as well
18496s	that is not what you want at all oh my
18499s	goodness no way look at stars just
18503s	cheeky grin on his
18505s	face that's going to be clipped 100%
18510s	that's going to be clipped that's why I
18511s	prefer the F2 the
18517s	F1 he's just having the T of his life to
18521s	Star is just gaming oh my goodness what
18524s	a meme honestly they using the F2
18529s	to sign oh my goodness that is that's
18535s	content right there that's C if you can
18537s	get a back to back with either another
18540s	sign post or a fire cage drop down with
18542s	that
18543s	F2 oh my goodness but 100% that that is
18547s	being clipped yes that's clipped and
18549s	[ __ ] that is ready to go that's going
18551s	into the Montage
18555s	l two viable options as opposed to the
18559s	F1 Mike not going to be able to find the
18562s	F2 connection onto either a sign post or
18564s	a player as it does look like w better
18566s	of going for the salty run back he's
18568s	instead going to be trying to chase down
18570s	K T225 on the VA for out the charge
18573s	vertical on that long to is going to pay
18575s	for it up into the air we go and it's on
18578s	the slope so we get an additional juggle
18580s	into the R&B and T5 not going to be able
18584s	to utilize any of the VA V2 duration to
18587s	get a heal off cuz he did not have the
18589s	combo break available Wong just making
18592s	it look oh so clean with every single
18595s	one of his extension so far today does
18597s	he get it again no spider is able to
18599s	come through with the F2 to deny the
18602s	chain I I I will say that that was uh at
18605s	first I was I was surprised that T225 at
18609s	that low HP decided to use that ultimate
18613s	but uh then immediately recognizing that
18615s	he didn't have very much time left on
18617s	his rebirth choosing to cancel his
18619s	ultimate once he was in that combo to
18622s	then uh let himself go down and make use
18625s	of that rebirth that he had available to
18628s	him but oh my goodness wo ging no way he
18632s	gets that grapple bump but unfortunately
18634s	not able to fully follow up and then
18636s	gets caught on The Buttery Rock no
18641s	no that's rough well I guess rock paper
18645s	scissors or I get
18646s	rock paper rock still comes out on top
18650s	as OG's Mike sends himself to the top of
18653s	that R of Yang try and Chase down J's
18655s	AIS combo break has already been used
18657s	but Mike is able to catch the tail end
18658s	of it with that AOS F2 and we go right
18661s	back into the neutral NE of these
18663s	players investing their ultimate just
18666s	yet Mike losing a lot of that purple
18668s	armor that he's goes for the overh on
18671s	the lmb goes for the cancel out of it
18673s	the second time around for AIS with the
18674s	dual blades will be able to catch him
18676s	with the spacing the next hit off that
18678s	F2 is going to be available Mike with
18680s	the scar not going to be able to find
18681s	the r he was looking for went for the
18683s	wind gust light attack try and knock the
18685s	Hardy away from him and doesn't get the
18687s	opportunity to even come through with
18689s	that
18691s	V2 unfortunate for Mike there he went
18694s	for the gamble he went for the heal
18696s	instead of just alting and potentially
18699s	denying that engage from the hardi
18701s	unfortunate for him we going over to a
18704s	separate round of ewg orano in a bit of
18707s	a bad spot against verse does use that
18710s	first Spar on that V2 ultimate now verse
18713s	armoring through that vertical blue
18715s	Focus there from arano with that
18718s	ultimate activation and now looking to
18720s	try and chase him down arano does not
18722s	have very much time left on this ultim
18724s	is going to have to try and use that orb
18726s	sooner rather than later there it is
18728s	unfortunately though he's not able to
18729s	find the confirmation does not get him
18732s	inside that sphere and now oh just
18735s	barely breaking away using the combo
18738s	breaker to survive and kite away for a
18740s	second but not able to uh scale Rush
18743s	away in time and verse is going to catch
18746s	him clipping him with that grapple lmb
18749s	on the back of that pillar and securing
18751s	this realm of Yang Victory picking
18753s	himself up a golden spear as well going
18756s	to be doing a lot of work for him with
18759s	that ultim as it does scale off of that
18761s	weapon Rarity to Star now in the uh in
18764s	the cave up against ss1 Pace ooh very
18768s	nice little bow shot to reset that
18770s	stagger it looks as though star is still
18772s	on the front foot past just running
18774s	around picking up these armor swaps
18776s	instead of popping that ultimate and
18778s	then not only that but he will have some
18781s	fireflies on the outside of this cave I
18784s	believe unless all of them have been
18786s	picked up already which would be
18787s	surprising the St
18791s	oh no oh Into the Fire cage combo breaks
18795s	out of it oh my goodness this game is so
18798s	ugly I love it he still gets hit by it
18801s	though he gets hit by both the fire cage
18803s	burn and the poison damage coming
18805s	through from the toxish room oh SAR is
18809s	so so unbelievably low does have that
18812s	Aus ultimate will be able to dodge away
18815s	from the next grab coming through with
18817s	that attempt but Mike is here for the
18819s	third party star does have the spacing
18821s	to give himself with that dragon sword
18824s	that is just continuously charging up
18825s	the meter dump on those non Chucks and
18828s	because of that we'll be able to break
18829s	away all of these players just griefing
18832s	everybody in this small claustrophobic
18834s	space with the poison shoms and that's
18836s	going to be perfect positioning for that
18838s	Justina to come through can spider find
18840s	the dashes that he's looking for star is
18843s	going to see that there are too many
18844s	players close to him goes for the full
18846s	MEP but almost goes into the poison
18850s	go into the poison Splash Mike now with
18853s	the AOS Ultimate Looks to try and find
18855s	the catch on to Pace as he comes through
18857s	and out of that vder ultimate he is so
18860s	low managed to get an armor reset but
18862s	Mike is able to find the tiger grab into
18864s	him will be able to find the connection
18866s	onto the V and everything that pace was
18867s	looking to reset with that armor has now
18870s	been denied entirely spider looks to
18872s	find the kill will be able to grab it
18874s	but Mike is able to get the better priz
18876s	he didn't want the kill he wanted the
18878s	soul Bloom object objective achieved
18881s	Mike repositions before the players turn
18883s	on to him and spider is the one left
18886s	between everybody else thankfully for
18888s	him he's got vilon bird SM his Lobby
18890s	will continue the same cannot be said
18892s	for one of these other players if they
18894s	go down though every single player with
18896s	familian bird Smite has now lost the
18899s	buff and we go back into
18901s	neutral we certainly do indeed wbg
18905s	spider though bound to be happy off of
18907s	that as he managed to pick up two
18909s	eliminations with that Vermillion Birds
18912s	might buff as the the more the more
18915s	eliminations you can pick up during that
18916s	buff the better and he's able to pick up
18918s	two there picking up to three
18920s	eliminations total fpx verse as well in
18923s	that situation has three eliminations
18926s	looking pretty good for him but here we
18928s	are taking a quick look at the replay
18930s	from the realm of Yang that spider we as
18933s	we now know did come out Victorious of
18937s	the quick bow shot off of that R&B Focus
18939s	take on the grapple combo spider you
18942s	know o he goes for the hold dush for as
18944s	does get caught by that horizontal focus
18946s	on that staff spider now getting check
18949s	chased down Pace with that ultimate oh
18951s	the V2 coming through able to catch the
18954s	freeze oh beautiful Crouch coming in
18957s	from spider denying that combo start
18960s	from the staff setting out this hang
18962s	sord lmb focus into that freeze into the
18966s	scale Rush spider just oh oh this is
18969s	this he wins this by the way what on
18972s	Earth spider one HP goes for the scale
18975s	Rush doesn't see oh no way no shot this
18981s	guy what HP in a dream he's just able to
18986s	come out and clutch it up taking that
18989s	dub I believe that he he caught that he
18992s	caught the Vala on the startup animation
18994s	of a jump lmb and now obviously you
18997s	might think Hey where's Clank but at the
19001s	end of the day there is the on certain
19003s	attacks the startup animation of them
19005s	are is different so if certain attacks
19008s	have faster start startup animation than
19010s	others and jump out and be on staff
19012s	although it is pretty Speedy it's not
19014s	the fastest in the book and with that
19016s	that hang sword scale Rush he's able to
19019s	catch him before it fully activates
19021s	denying the Clank into that combo
19024s	beautifully done by spider very nice
19026s	play Oh dun Rob get an absolute triat
19029s	it's x1's Wong versus Mike inside the
19032s	realm of Yang Wong with that H sword on
19035s	the T he Dodges the AOS F2 for coming on
19039s	through Mike is able to find the focus
19042s	tried to go for the follow through but
19044s	Woon was ready it might come out faster
19046s	but he's still got the T to be able to
19047s	go for the Parry the combo break was
19049s	invested from the TMI but Mike is able
19050s	to come through with the chase down of
19052s	the a a grab but Mike gets caught out
19055s	inside the T ultimate and woong now
19058s	finds the grapple bump into horizontal
19061s	puts himself back into his ultimate
19063s	however to get the reset off Mike is
19065s	also able to find a shield potion at the
19067s	same time both of these players now
19069s	rightside of the ultimate both still
19070s	have access to the fs if need be Mike
19073s	does not have a lot of his armor left
19076s	will be able to find the horizontal into
19078s	grapple bump but will not be able to
19079s	find the charge R&B follow through on
19082s	flop because the tmy had that F ability
19084s	to just break away from it that's the
19087s	Tam's ultimate breaking through now
19089s	though as Mike looks to try to come
19091s	through with this facing Katana versus
19093s	hangon what's going to be able to come
19095s	out on top Mike is able to find the
19096s	juggle against the invisible wall look
19098s	to try and find the punishment W's able
19100s	to find the horizontal into grapple BMP
19103s	into R&B into LM when Mike is still on
19107s	the floor and woong walks away the
19111s	winner that's insane I knew I saw it
19115s	come through so one when you're that
19117s	close to the wall on those grapple R&B
19120s	Focus combos if you're that close the
19123s	second hit of the of the R&B focus on
19126s	Han sword sometimes doesn't come through
19128s	and hit and I in that specific situation
19131s	I saw it not hitting and I was wondering
19133s	what his option select was going to be
19134s	so he W he wented the wake up roll into
19137s	the F2 which obviously is somewhat safe
19140s	A lot of the time but can be rather
19142s	telegraphed in those one HP situations
19145s	it feel it's almost obvious that that's
19146s	what they're going to do so he just goes
19148s	for those jump
19149s	knowing that even if he does get clipped
19151s	by that he's just going to come down and
19153s	hit the floor and no combo going to come
19155s	through very nicely done by woong taking
19158s	out Mike in that R of Yang but as we
19161s	come out of this R of Yang te star gets
19163s	caught just between a rock and a hard
19165s	place all of these players surrounding
19167s	him Mike now in a similar situation
19169s	himself catches the Parry AIS eating a
19172s	lot of damage from these purple
19174s	nunchucks Mike popping that ultimate
19176s	going to try and catch AIS out of the
19178s	air
19179s	with that tiger grab but it doesn't look
19181s	as though he's going to be able to keep
19182s	up with him unfortunately and now
19184s	looking to go for this reset AIS trying
19186s	to find this acost who he knows has used
19189s	ultimate he found him though the tiger
19191s	grab comes through up against the wall
19193s	Mike has pryo he's looking to try and
19196s	focus him down burst him down as fast as
19198s	possible goes for that overhaul on that
19199s	F2 but he's getting it focused down
19202s	instead of the hardi the scale rush
19204s	comes through and woong's going to claim
19206s	the kill here it's oh my goodness six
19210s	eliminations Moxy five people alive it
19213s	is getting spicy in here oh looking like
19217s	Wong is going to be picking up his
19219s	fourth MVP he's got white tigers Pro us
19224s	for another minute and every single one
19227s	of these players in the lobby knows that
19230s	there are players who were running
19231s	around with that buff they don't want to
19232s	be taking the fights especially given
19234s	that we've seen all of the players with
19236s	Y depletion now been taken out looks
19238s	like everyone's going to be kiding over
19240s	towards that ballista Tower was anyone
19242s	able to get on top of it before everyone
19244s	got over to The Blind Side doesn't seem
19247s	like anyone has been caught out it came
19249s	a little bit close just saw a short
19251s	whistle P versa's head as jdg Shang BS
19255s	himself up onto that high ground but for
19257s	now especially given the fact that we
19259s	don't have any play of Yang depletion
19261s	try and force a fight so they can get
19263s	those Soul blims it might be quieting
19265s	down that being said spider is going
19268s	incredibly as they are trying to
19270s	pressure this Justina as well as every
19272s	other player close to them so that one
19274s	of them has to move themselves away from
19277s	the endless kite of ballista with those
19280s	scale rushes out into the open to act as
19282s	more of a Target as fpx is ver now is
19286s	the one who puts himself on top of this
19288s	Tower we've got just under 10 minutes
19290s	remaining X1 Swang still has that white
19294s	tiger PR is going to be running out in a
19295s	matter of moments but he's just checking
19297s	to see where some of these players are
19299s	potentially going to be hiding into the
19302s	ballista Tower he goes just clearing the
19304s	space making sure that there isn't a
19306s	player who squirrel away with blue armor
19309s	or purple armor a little bit behind in
19312s	terms of loot disparity he is the only
19315s	tamy left however as we're going to be
19317s	seeing a lot of these players turning
19319s	onto fpx is ver it looks like who is
19322s	going to be the target priority coming
19324s	through from these players everyone
19326s	understands how hard it is to be able to
19328s	lock the hard down if he has that V2
19331s	available to reposition himself but my
19335s	goodness D we've got a tam in the mix
19337s	we've got a Justina in the mix we've got
19338s	a Hardy in the mix all we're really
19340s	missing is a vder to be able to put the
19344s	pressure on those final Zone heal off
19346s	moments indeed and I think that we have
19350s	I think it's a it's going to be a an
19353s	interesting one I think that the two
19355s	Hardies are going to likely end up
19357s	trying to stick together
19359s	as they are certainly going to be the
19361s	optimal Target to focus down for the
19363s	rest of these players in the lobby uh
19366s	but it's it's an interesting one because
19370s	they're not very close to each other at
19371s	all and it looks as though this uh this
19375s	Liam is was very happy to just not
19378s	really bother with the with the Justina
19380s	even though that that is another
19382s	significant threat in this end zone as
19384s	we saw before in the uh in game number
19387s	four with w
19389s	is all I think like we won't see actual
19393s	fighting until the spirit worldall
19395s	contest comes first like no one wanted
19397s	to actually commit to a fight in case
19399s	their ultimates got forced now Spirit
19401s	wall is coming into play if the contest
19403s	is longer than 180 seconds they despawn
19405s	it so even if they're not the ones who
19407s	are able to walk away with the buff as
19409s	long as they can prevent a more optimal
19411s	hero from picking it up that is a a
19415s	certain win condition achieved as it is
19418s	going to
19420s	that Spirit Well about to spawn on up
19422s	Wong with merciless havoc in the back
19426s	pocket in Prime position especially on
19429s	that Tami to hold this down is anyone
19433s	going to D that forward and contestas he
19435s	hasn't even needed to Al once he just
19438s	gets it for free yep no need to Al if
19442s	you've got merciless Havoc he is very
19445s	happy to hold on to that Al especially
19447s	considering that I don't think think he
19449s	thought chuong of the Liam was going to
19452s	be willing to commit to deny that Spirit
19455s	Well there as it's just it's just not
19457s	really worth it in that situation you
19460s	you don't want to get altered by a tamul
19463s	who has an armor swap ready to go if he
19466s	does catch that that Spirit well with
19468s	all of these other players going to be
19469s	turning out very soon as a Liam you end
19472s	up in a pretty bad spot if you have your
19474s	ultimate forced out early on although
19477s	yes you can kite it out with those
19479s	teleport it's not what you want going
19481s	into the end zone as not having Ultima
19484s	is going to make you a very very
19486s	vulnerable Target and speaking of being
19488s	a vulnerable Target it looks as though
19489s	spider might be in a bit of a bad spot
19491s	having used his combo break ability now
19494s	the Hardy Al is going to come out he
19496s	might get forced onto right now the AL
19499s	comes out from spider he is running that
19501s	V2 unfortunately now only using one of
19505s	those dashes only having one left in the
19508s	back pocket it's going to be a tough
19511s	task to make it out alive this is that
19513s	secondary Dash the Boone Bane is coming
19516s	down spider trying to fend off this
19519s	Onslaught I'm not sure if he's going to
19520s	make it out alive though Moxy as this is
19523s	uh this is tough the cannon the flame
19526s	breath the Wang coming in with that
19530s	Target oh my goodness he's alive that's
19533s	insane yeah his life just flashed before
19536s	his eyes I'm pretty sure it really did
19538s	life just flashed before my eyes I saw
19540s	that grapp and I was like he's 100%
19542s	getting caught between one of those Moon
19544s	beams he's trying to do absolutely
19546s	everything he can he's the only justtin
19547s	in this Lobby the players saw him with
19549s	the V2 they know that he's going to be
19551s	out of dashes the only way that he could
19553s	have stopped from just being pursued
19555s	relentlessly was to take his chances and
19558s	just zigzag in and out of moon Bane he
19560s	didn't go through Moon Bane once he went
19562s	through it
19564s	twice which is absolutely crazy but
19567s	because of that play he was able to stop
19569s	a vast majority of these players from
19572s	sticking and committing to that fight
19574s	and it is going to give him a little bit
19577s	of an opportunity to just disappear into
19580s	one of the spaces that they don't expect
19582s	him to be reset potentially swap over to
19585s	the ranged weaponry and take advantage
19588s	of the fact that at the moment no one
19590s	really wants to start a fight because if
19591s	they start a fight all of the rest of
19593s	the players are going to be sucked into
19595s	it and they're going to look for the
19597s	third and fourth and fifth party and
19598s	even if you're the one that finds the
19600s	kill into the Justina as we've talked
19601s	about in the past it's not worth it in
19604s	the long run to forgo that opportunity
19607s	of having the kill score multiplyer and
19608s	more kills afterwards to just murder
19611s	goggle onto a player in front of you
19613s	which is why at the moment everyone is
19615s	more than happy to just play around each
19617s	other's
19620s	spacing this is going to be interesting
19623s	how we see this progress I'm still
19625s	surprised that spider is alive that is
19627s	just crazy to me the fact that he made
19629s	it out alive made it through the moon
19631s	bane just by the the the hairs on his
19634s	chin you know he's just barely making it
19637s	through actually insane that he lived
19640s	but because he makes it through that
19642s	Moon Bane he does deny a lot of the
19645s	pressure as no other player is willing
19647s	to take that that trip through the moon
19650s	Bane and risk eating those double hits
19652s	that we've seen take players so so low
19655s	so far today and in the past Wang
19658s	speaking of getting low he's getting
19659s	lower and lower being pressured by this
19662s	cannon with flame breath constantly Wang
19665s	he is on the defensive trying to heal up
19667s	and so is Chang who's also right next to
19670s	him I believe that's also fire arrows
19672s	coming out from J AIS it's again
19676s	pressuring him down it looks as though
19677s	this is turning into somewhat of a two
19679s	versus three situation where
19682s	Wang uh Wang um chuong and uh and spider
19689s	are all sort of playing on one side with
19691s	the hardies on the other the the hardies
19694s	having full advantage in endgame
19696s	situation with those that heal off uh
19699s	that heal off Advantage with the fire
19701s	damage on their ultimat but also it
19703s	seems as though they both have fire
19705s	damage on their range weapons here AIS
19708s	having that fire arrows and
19712s	um the wait who wait there he is verse
19715s	that was it verse with the flame breath
19718s	on the
19719s	just applying so much pressure to the
19720s	rest of the lobby they they have full
19724s	agency to just do whatever they like
19726s	right now although they have to be very
19728s	careful as these other three players are
19730s	very willing to focus them over anybody
19734s	else oh spider had to use the F2 to
19738s	escape that Dragon Roar and this is the
19740s	fight we're going to see it now ai gets
19743s	forced into using that ultimate first
19745s	has to be careful that he doesn't stay
19746s	in the zone too much is going to take a
19748s	a lot of damage and temporarily gets
19750s	grounded and that's going to be enough
19753s	verst turns onto him gets the last hit
19757s	with the cannon and now it is going to
19760s	be a One V One V One V one with those
19765s	kills having come through and some of
19766s	those ultimates as well as combat
19767s	Breakers being forced looks like
19768s	everyone is either going to pick up
19770s	resources from the body so that they
19772s	have a better chance of living to the
19774s	heal of situation or they're going to
19777s	wait for things like the temp ultimate
19779s	just as we saw on that game of holl off
19781s	and play reactive instead of
19783s	preventative burus running around the
19785s	charg rmbs on that pul does he have
19787s	blistering attached to it he's
19789s	definitely got the cannon out putting
19791s	pressure onto Wong on that tamy spider
19794s	looking to come through with the charged
19795s	R&B on that staff has to be careful that
19797s	he doesn't utilize it too much get it
19799s	parried just as we saw previously in the
19802s	game flame is indeed going to be
19804s	attached to that Cannon coming on
19805s	through from the hardies we see the fire
19807s	tick slowly start to melt away at Wu's
19810s	Health takes a huge hit of damage from
19812s	the vertical swing of that pul as he
19815s	comes out of the corruption six damage
19817s	has to for a win that combo break
19818s	ability is still sitting however on that
19821s	ultimate goes for the stone form Force
19823s	onto the Hardy to pressure vers even
19825s	Clos away from the Tami ultimate further
19828s	into that zone so that Wong is the only
19831s	one not taking corruption damage at the
19833s	moment but just as before the Justina
19836s	saved the ultimate goes for the Dash up
19839s	and spider living above everybody else's
19843s	head comes through with the V2 but the
19845s	Liam save their ultimates as well the V1
19849s	the oric is able to find the teleport
19851s	spider will be able to out live one but
19854s	it's jdg shuang that gets the last love
19857s	Liam was able to come through with the
19860s	last standing but was it enough for the
19863s	MVP or is that honor going to go
19866s	potentially over to f PX given we are
19870s	currently looking at his player cam
19873s	there it is indeed verse on the hottie
19876s	was able to come through with the
19879s	overall highest score of game number six
19883s	indeed unfortunately it would have been
19885s	woong as they ended up with the same
19888s	number of kills but Wu Fong goes down
19890s	just before unfortunately like all the
19894s	pressure coming through from those fire
19896s	soldiers on the Range weapons meaning
19899s	that he didn't have any healing berries
19901s	any Vitalia to his name in those last
19904s	moments not able to heal up and just
19906s	forced in a into a very bad spot uh try
19910s	forced to use Al tried to find something
19913s	with the ultimate just not able to do
19915s	anything and just getting caught between
19917s	a rock and a hard place and that sand
19920s	wall that he put down himself he's just
19922s	not really able to do it unfortunately
19924s	no fourth MVP for wuang so uh to it is
19929s	it's it it was close it was definitely
19931s	very close he was in a really good
19934s	position to take it but unfortunately
19936s	the fire Soul Jades was simply too much
19939s	for him to deal with and he just had all
19942s	of his resources chipped away at
19944s	throughout that entire endgame situation
19947s	and that's why fire damage is so
19949s	important in these uh in these
19951s	competitive environments as you're able
19954s	to come out on top in the resource wall
19957s	you know it's not just about winning the
19958s	actual hand-to-hand fight winning the
19961s	resources war is very very important
19965s	that you can essentially put yourself
19969s	ahead of everybody else by simply having
19971s	more resources than the other players
19973s	and as we saw there it made the it made
19975s	the difference for Wong he couldn't
19977s	survive long enough because of that
19979s	specific reason yeah I mean we even saw
19982s	the the two Hardies like that got broken
19984s	up almost immediately because Veris
19987s	realized if he was able to remove the
19990s	other Hardy a body would be dropped in a
19993s	place that had already been picked clean
19995s	up resources and that's the only way
19997s	when you go to those End Zone scenarios
20000s	the only way that you're able to come
20002s	through with those resources is either
20004s	you're on holl off and we have a wether
20006s	effect come through uh and all of the
20008s	troves get replenished that way or a
20010s	player gets dropped and you're able to
20012s	get on top of the body and pick for
20014s	everything that that they had uh access
20017s	to and we've been seeing that happen a
20019s	lot today actually it's it's not just
20021s	these players prioritizing The Kills
20023s	when they see like another person who's
20025s	on the same hero as them going low they
20027s	want those additional resources so that
20030s	they can be in the best possible
20031s	position to survive and Outlast
20035s	absolutely everybody else cuz you can
20038s	see how close it actually was in fact
20043s	both of them have the same game score
20047s	verse and w
20049s	TI
20053s	7.5 okay so I think when this sort of
20057s	thing happens I think it ends up coming
20059s	down to which player has more damage
20063s	overall overall damage because yeah in
20067s	terms of points they are technically the
20068s	same although verse did survive longer
20071s	you know even though they have the same
20073s	ranking points he did technically
20074s	survive longer so perhaps that's the
20077s	deciding factor but if it's not that
20079s	then it probably comes down to the
20080s	damage that they dealt in that game
20084s	regardless I mean woong you you got an
20087s	MVP in spirit you know if it's not
20089s	official you basically did it you almost
20092s	did it uh and definitely big uh big
20095s	congratulations to him having performed
20097s	so so well today and I believe coming
20100s	out comes out on top as we will see in a
20103s	moment as the uh the top six will be
20105s	revealed to us so currently looking at
20108s	the bottom six unfortunately for a few
20111s	of the thing is though it's not it's not
20113s	horrendous when you look at the bottom
20115s	six in in a bubble but then when you
20117s	look at the top six it's kind of crazy
20119s	how big of a difference it is you know
20122s	X1 wufong with
20125s	39.2 and then you're looking at the
20127s	bottom of the leaderboard where a player
20128s	has eight points it is kind of crazy how
20131s	big of a difference that is and it's
20133s	just yeah it goes to show how the how
20137s	flip-floppy it can be if you just have a
20139s	bad day uh and usually this hasn't
20141s	really been in the case for a while now
20144s	throughout this entire split we've seen
20146s	very very competitive lobbies where the
20148s	split between bottom and top is not that
20151s	big yeah but no I mean X1 honestly
20155s	they've been really impressing me these
20158s	past couple of weeks both their solos
20160s	and their trios players we're going to
20161s	have a look back at game number six for
20164s	you by Thunder robot this was T5 coming
20167s	on through on that BDA able to find the
20169s	kill early on against star with all of
20173s	these weapon swaps coming through Wong
20175s	here we go the backto back kills ascan
20178s	Yan just getting locked continuously
20180s	into stone form before Wong is able to
20182s	get behind him into that offer cut
20184s	confirmation extension is ss1 Pac also
20188s	on the V with the F connection catch a
20191s	little bit of an error but still able to
20193s	sort it out even as the train attempted
20195s	to grief
20196s	him indeed arano this was very nicely
20200s	done by him but extremely rough foran
20203s	Yuan uh as he that was his second life
20206s	there but oh my goodness T I forgot
20208s	about it the ridiculous F2 from the acos
20213s	with the sign oh my goodness that was
20216s	that's that's that was hilarious that
20219s	was that was beautiful that was
20221s	beautiful to watch I will say it was
20224s	obviously really
20225s	rough for on the receiving end of that
20228s	but still very nice as a spectator to
20231s	see that go down and then here the the
20233s	damage coming through from those fire
20236s	tick jads making it impossible to come
20239s	into that final moments those final
20241s	moments with full health and it was just
20244s	anyone's game at that point even though
20246s	the hardies have Advantage with the fire
20248s	damage on their ultimates they still can
20251s	get put into bad spots where they can't
20253s	really do all that much and the Liam is
20255s	in fact the one that comes out on top at
20257s	the very end there in terms of placement
20259s	but verse fortunately for him was able
20262s	to pick up enough kills six eliminations
20265s	and come out on top in as MVP on that F2
20269s	V2 hardi with 265,000 damage and uh look
20275s	at that the majority of it coming out
20277s	from Canon no surprise I will say
20279s	rupture Gale flame breath it does damage
20283s	yeah we're seeing it in solos we are
20285s	seeing it in CHS and we're seeing verse
20287s	take his seventh MVP of the Season very
20290s	good stuff coming through from him it's
20293s	really funny as well cuz like you look
20294s	at the replay and how that final Zone uh
20297s	played out there were so many players
20298s	panicking trying to get onto the right
20300s	side of the Tami ultimate trying to
20302s	avoid the Justina V2 ultimate and then
20304s	you just have JD D shuang on the cannon
20307s	like 2 met away from everybody else just
20309s	like okay couple of hits of flame breath
20311s	maybe that will be enough to get these
20313s	last couple of hits because every single
20315s	bit of tick damage that that flame
20317s	breath does potentially has that last
20319s	percentage of players health for you to
20320s	pick up those kills but speaking about
20322s	picking up we'll be picking up with the
20324s	rest of our commentary on the other side
20326s	of this
20329s	interview hi everyone welcome to the

20644s	see where all of these players are going
20646s	to be coming in terms of those points
20649s	that they bring with them into the grand
20651s	finals for next week 20% remember of the
20654s	points that they've been able to pick up
20656s	AIS Fang Pace T5 Janan Anda
20659s	unfortunately all not having the
20660s	greatest of performances but they have
20662s	more than enough time to bring it back
20664s	in line Rano shishang verse all managing
20668s	to have a little bit of a better
20669s	performance coming in at around five
20671s	points ahead of everybody else however
20674s	it is spider Mike and woong rookie for
20678s	the summer season you heard it in his
20681s	interview he was a little bit nervous
20683s	coming on for it took him a little bit
20685s	of time to adapt to all of the pressures
20687s	that came with performing live but my
20690s	goodness what a time to hit your stride
20693s	coming through with the second half of
20695s	this season managing to just absolutely
20699s	stomp through these last six games with
20701s	a
20702s	39.2 total score picked up of the entire
20706s	day if he doesn't have nerves next week
20709s	if he's able to perform at that level of
20712s	quality he is 100% going to be one of
20715s	those players to watch but speaking
20716s	about watching we're going to be having
20718s	a look at the schedule for the
20720s	pre-finals of trios which is going to be
20723s	gracing your screens
20725s	tomorrow indeed it's uh it's I mean it's
20728s	going to be probably as exciting as it
20730s	was today tomorrow especially as they've
20733s	had a little bit more time on the newer
20735s	patch with kylin and hardi not being the
20738s	the everpresent composition that it has
20741s	been for a while now has been one of the
20743s	Staples and now has just disappeared
20745s	Into Thin Air so it' be interesting to
20747s	see what these teams are going to be
20749s	bringing out instead in those games that
20752s	they would have potentially been playing
20753s	kylin hardi zipping and yesterday I
20756s	believe we I I heard from you Moxy
20758s	saying that we saw Cannonball come into
20760s	the mix again M yo yeah Yoto Faria Yan
20766s	you know kind of crazy that mvpd as well
20769s	to to see a com that disappeared for so
20771s	long come back in and do so well is is
20775s	definitely interesting to see and it
20776s	makes you wonder why it was gone for so
20779s	long and I mean obviously it makes sense
20781s	as there were other things that were
20782s	slightly better but for it to do so well
20785s	so quickly coming back in is is is
20788s	interesting is is food for thought for
20790s	sure we only saw one Cannonball
20793s	composition though but whether or not
20795s	we'll be seeing more Cannonball
20796s	composition you will have to wait and
20798s	see it's not a long wait it is just
20800s	tomorrow but unfortunately that is all
20802s	that myself and Duncan have time for so
20805s	thank you everybody who tuned in to the
20807s	solo pre-finals nraa blade point will be
20810s	back with the pro league triers
20812s	pre-finals tomorrow until then take care
