3092s	uh man these games are going to be
3093s	killer Duncan they are indeed they are
3096s	going to be very
3098s	exciting it is of course the fin day for
3102s	the bi-weekly finals so it's last chance
3105s	for these players to get in get in the
3107s	get their points in and get qualified
3109s	for the bi-weekly finals a few a few
3112s	players you know they uh they didn't
3113s	make it last week they didn't make it
3114s	the week before you know are they going
3116s	to be coming back in in as uh it's it's
3119s	going to be a bit a bit bit of a feels
3122s	bad man if they don't certainly But
3124s	first you know the drill ladies and
3126s	gentlemen twitch drops are going to be
3129s	coming in it is not the bi-weekly finals
3131s	just yet so uh you got to you got a
3135s	little bit of time to make sure that
3136s	you've got your accounts linked but make
3138s	sure that you do get it done make sure
3140s	to get your ner account link to your
3142s	Twitch account so that you can get your
3144s	hands on these goodies especially in
3147s	advance of the biweekly finals as you
3149s	get those extra exclusive drops the uh
3154s	this weekend it is going to be this
3155s	Banner this uh backdrop for your card as
3159s	you load into gamer on your own or with
3162s	your friends but back to what I was
3164s	saying before few players they uh they
3167s	got to get lock in they got to they got
3169s	to get Rost of us
3171s	unfortunately he's had a bit of a rough
3174s	go of it but I believe in the boy I've
3177s	talked to him I I look forward to seeing
3179s	him pop off today also if I remember
3182s	correctly Wang leang didn't make it to
3184s	the to the previous bi-weekly finals is
3187s	he playing this week or is it k k k
3192s	playing yeah um you know it's really
3195s	interesting because wangan kind of came
3197s	back in speaking of you know somebody
3198s	asked about schedule earlier here's your
3199s	schedule uh for this week and following
3202s	forward of course we do start by weekly
3204s	four next week but again you don't want
3205s	to miss this weekend and Saturday and or
3209s	sorry yeah Saturday and Sunday we are
3210s	going to be having those bi-weekly
3211s	finals like Duncan said and you want to
3213s	make sure you get in and get those
3214s	special drops and then you can see as we
3215s	head into November you'll see our grand
3218s	finals and then our Chinese Mainland
3220s	qualifier for worlds we will take a look
3222s	at the standings right now here are your
3224s	bottom six uh these are the players who
3226s	have got a lot of work to put in today
3228s	if they want to qualify you can see we
3230s	were just talking about Kai ba coming in
3231s	and replacing wangyang for wolves this
3233s	week and Kai ba not off to a great start
3236s	either he is going to have to have an
3238s	insanely explosive day uh if he wants to
3241s	climb the ranks to qualify to even have
3244s	a chance to go into that bi-weekly final
3246s	and even if he does he will be at the
3248s	bottom of the pack so he's still going
3249s	to have a lot to work to do once he gets
3251s	to that bi-weekly final we talking a
3253s	little bit about Frost ofis and we'll
3255s	come back to that in a second as we
3257s	continue to take a look at the scores uh
3259s	Chu Jang having a good day Mike 23o day
3262s	you know for any other player I would
3264s	call this a good day right like I think
3266s	if you are able to put two 20 point days
3268s	up on the board you basically guaranteed
3270s	to qualify for the regular bi-weekly but
3273s	for Mike this is pretty slow honestly so
3276s	hopefully he comes in here it's going to
3277s	be his day two and have a really good
3278s	day you can take a look your top four
3280s	players here uh have already played both
3282s	of their days spider here having a
3284s	really explosive week a 25o day and then
3287s	a 33.6 wang in a really consistent spot
3291s	27.2 and 28.2 within one point of each
3294s	other arano also in the same space 22 .1
3297s	and a 22.7 as you take a look we can see
3300s	our map rotation for today and of course
3301s	it's going to be pror Hollow rooth
3303s	Morris Isle but really important of note
3306s	we're going to be starting with midnight
3308s	on game one and game six is going to be
3310s	night time so we're going to be starting
3311s	the day with fireflies and ending the
3313s	day with fireflies and this is really
3315s	important to strategy right Duncan
3317s	because you really need to plan around
3319s	these Firefly maps and as you take a
3321s	look you can see the players here but
3324s	again Frost ofis up top here you know
3326s	you touch on frost a little bit um and I
3330s	think Frost ofis as a player he he
3332s	definitely has the skill right we've
3334s	seen it happened we saw him pop off at
3336s	Worlds last year he did really well uh I
3338s	think he can make it into these
3340s	bi-weekly finals I think what he's
3341s	really struggling with right now is kind
3343s	of cementing his own play style now that
3346s	he's in the nvpl I think when he came in
3349s	Frost ofis played Frost this' game right
3352s	and it set a lot of these players on
3354s	unease and they were not really able to
3356s	adapt right off the rip I think now they
3359s	have started to adapt and frost ofis I
3361s	think is trying to adapt too hard to
3363s	other players play style rather than
3365s	just playing the nraa frost ofus as used
3368s	to playing when I look at him now
3370s	compared to when we looked at him in
3371s	Worlds before it it feels like he's
3374s	playing like other players like spider
3376s	or Mike and trying to adapt to their
3378s	play Styles but I really think his play
3381s	style that he he brought in in Worlds
3384s	and is used to I think he just needs to
3385s	bring that back and focus on playing his
3387s	game
3388s	Duncan yeah I mean thing is there can be
3391s	a lot of uh there could be a lot of
3393s	factors coming in you know as he said
3395s	that he's he's being forced to play a
3397s	different game than one he wants to play
3400s	things like that can certainly be a
3402s	factor on top of that mental is just
3406s	inherently one of the most important
3408s	things and it just wait Wang Yang wait
3412s	what oh well oh they've brought him in
3415s	to play today okay so I mean they you
3418s	can change your player out uh so it just
3421s	seems they were not happy with Kai bal's
3423s	performance in day one and I mean Kai
3425s	Bal is the bottom of the leaderboard
3426s	it's kind of understandable that you
3428s	know if Kai Bal comes in and has a
3429s	six-point day you might want to lean on
3431s	your other solos player right Duncan I
3433s	mean maybe yeah I mean that certainly is
3436s	a possibility however it's rare that
3437s	we've seen that happen before it could
3439s	be could in fact be the case that
3441s	perhaps Kai was unwell today or wasn't
3445s	was actually not able to play um but we
3448s	I mean we'll have to find out we'll have
3450s	to find out later if we can but um back
3453s	to what we were talking about Frost ofus
3455s	he's he certainly has the skill he
3458s	certainly has the ab the ability to
3461s	perform in this environment it is just I
3463s	think it just comes down to mental and
3467s	you know the I mean hey it's the it's
3469s	it's something that afflicts all Gamers
3473s	uh casual or hardcore you know burnout
3477s	is a factor right and uh when you get
3480s	burnt out or if you if you've just been
3483s	like even if you're not like overdoing
3485s	it people can get burnt out it happens
3489s	and uh burnout mental it's it's hard to
3493s	overcome and a lot a lot of players
3496s	suffer from this and uh but I mean thing
3499s	is you know one of the things that
3501s	separates the best players from uh you
3504s	know the the players who are almost
3505s	there is the fact that they can overcome
3508s	these challenges in these competitive
3511s	environments but speaking of competitive
3514s	environments we're going to be heading
3515s	into our first game's character
3518s	selection phase and to start it off
3522s	we're seeing double Liam double kylin I
3525s	wasn't surprised about the kylin but
3528s	Liam so you know this is something I've
3530s	been debating about all season Liam has
3532s	been the number one phase one pick he's
3536s	been banned out almost every single game
3538s	this season after round one select and I
3540s	disagree with it he has made maybe three
3544s	nvps the entire season I I don't
3548s	understand the logic but clearly there
3550s	is something that these players are
3551s	deciding that Liam is just like the
3553s	priority pick even though he's not
3555s	winning games for them see Liam is the
3559s	kind of character that I mean he's he's
3562s	a good consistency pick you know he's
3565s	not crazy broken he doesn't have I mean
3568s	he certainly does have pop pop off
3570s	potential but it's just it's not the
3573s	same as some of these other characters
3575s	and I think he is he's certainly a good
3578s	pick but he uh he I don't know I I I
3582s	don't know about paror you know peroria
3584s	he's all right but peror you would
3587s	typically want to see things like um
3590s	kylin hardi and uh Matari typically
3593s	being the the priority picks where
3596s	whereas to see Liam get double picked
3599s	instantly at the very beginning is
3601s	definitely rather odd I mean his the
3604s	Nerfs that he received making his his
3607s	alt less uh
3609s	oppressive let's just say um has
3611s	certainly made it a uh a lot harder to
3614s	to do like overly well with him he's
3616s	still good I mean his combo breaker is
3619s	the best combo breaker in the game as it
3621s	allows you to completely the negate the
3625s	damage from Parry not just the first
3627s	part of it completely negate all of it
3630s	and uh on top of that you get to keep
3632s	your weapon so it's it's an ex it's a
3635s	solid pick and I think it just it's a
3638s	good consistency pick because at the end
3640s	of the day as the rules have changed for
3643s	mvpl for solos you know we have a lot
3647s	more importance being put on kills as
3650s	only the first place placement player is
3653s	going to receive any kill multiplier for
3656s	those kills that they get in the game so
3658s	considering that securing that isn't
3660s	always necessarily possible you want to
3663s	be going for kills early on or you want
3665s	to be trying to get at least one maybe
3668s	two and uh Liam is certainly good for
3670s	one or two kills yeah I mean absolutely
3674s	see I I think I agree with you a lot on
3676s	this I've been saying all week I think
3678s	Liam is easily a top three character I
3680s	just don't agree with him being your
3682s	your must-have first round pick like if
3684s	you're in that first round pick that's
3686s	your priority pick that is uh I this is
3688s	my one opportunity to play this
3690s	character above every other character
3692s	and given the fact that Liam just isn't
3694s	securing those MVPs I don't think he's
3696s	the pick you take in that rounde I do
3697s	think he is either second or third round
3699s	pick but for a lot of these players this
3701s	is just been the the way it has been all
3704s	season it has been Liam first nothing
3705s	else um I personally think hottie and
3708s	kylin are the better first round secures
3710s	but we're going to go ahead and jump
3711s	into game number one here ladies and
3712s	gentlemen as we take a look where many
3714s	of these players are spawning on the out
3716s	side of the map here we're going to see
3718s	probably these players after taking
3720s	these early fights start to shift
3722s	towards that Center side of the map but
3723s	you're going to see te all the way to
3725s	the north side of the map completely
3726s	separated from everybody else so it's
3728s	going to take him a minute to find some
3730s	fights hopefully he's able to put
3732s	together some good gear before we see
3735s	that zone one completely collapse what's
3738s	he doing big dog he's going for that red
3740s	Soul Jade uh yeah true yeah he's looking
3744s	for the he's going to let himself die
3746s	storm to get that Soul Jade I'm telling
3749s	you now watch it watch him die into the
3751s	storm in the kill feed watch it's my
3754s	prediction as we head over we're to
3756s	start a fight off here between SS one's
3758s	Pace fun plus Fenix verse verse off to a
3760s	really good start with the Hong sword
3761s	here going to get the grapple extension
3763s	into some huge damage off the blue into
3765s	pistol shot follows up verse on absolute
3767s	fire right now Pace going to switch to
3768s	the fan here trying to break away from
3770s	this fight but verse sticking to him
3772s	really hard he will find the fan arm B
3774s	verse going to M time the Parry though
3775s	and pace going to get a huge opening
3777s	into the Parry as well there's nothing
3779s	no verse with the F will manage to stay
3781s	alive but he's on the Fist and there we
3783s	go as this one pace turns it around the
3786s	slap he almost had him he almost turned
3788s	it around but what a comeback from Pace
3792s	there what a nice fight and hey thing is
3795s	you know Liam he's he's good for a
3797s	couple kills he's also another thing
3799s	that I felt like I forgot to mention was
3801s	that he's a very good Comfort pick as
3803s	he's been picked up for a very very long
3804s	time and a lot of people have been
3805s	playing him but back to the action we're
3808s	right on in again with tt25 up against
3811s	GG sha tt25 managing to get that upper
3814s	gut combo with the matar F into an armor
3817s	swap as well GG sha in a bad spot now
3820s	manages to get his Ultimate Off cool
3822s	down now looking to re agress oh it's
3825s	going back and forth the stealth tg5
3827s	gets his ultimate as well and turns it
3830s	back around those purple nonnies doing a
3833s	lot of damage you know purple purple
3835s	weapon this early on is is extremely
3839s	dangerous when you're playing with white
3841s	armor and no Jades it becomes extremely
3843s	hard to survive in those kind of
3845s	situations but we get all the action
3847s	doesn't stop I love solos I haven't I
3849s	haven't casted solos in so long I love
3852s	it I love it you know I mean I love I
3855s	love I love trios as well U but solos
3858s	will always hold a special place in my
3860s	heart as I am a solos player first and
3863s	foremost but uh yeah it looks as though
3865s	these two players oh as going back and
3868s	forth playing a little bit of foot sees
3869s	Bower waiting in the wings action Bing
3872s	his time waiting for the opportune
3875s	moment to jump into this fight find the
3877s	third party situation wangang g go for
3880s	the R&B into the lmb followup gets the
3882s	cancel into the light attack the combo
3884s	break comes out from Shuan Wang is not
3887s	expecting the9 release and he's
3889s	expecting the second one the known mixup
3891s	mixup isn't going to work twice but
3893s	ation comes in and steals the kill thank
3897s	the Lord for Wang leang though as he
3899s	does manage to pick up that Soul Bloom
3900s	exin now in a bit of a bad spot he
3902s	doesn't have f up he doesn't have
3903s	ultimate there he is the Parry comes
3905s	through and the second Parry into the
3907s	soul room pickup chuang eating a lot of
3910s	damage Wang leang going to chase him
3912s	down the untrue the frame trap catches
3915s	him on the Dodge and Chen goes down oh
3920s	my goodness what a turnaround for
3921s	wangang there bin coming in to pick up
3923s	the elimination and he turns it onto
3925s	both of them with the backto back Parry
3927s	eliminations as we cut over to ug's Mike
3930s	who's going to be trading blows here
3931s	with SS one's Pace but Pace going to
3933s	slip away into the tunnels Mike not
3935s	going to bother to give Chase here as he
3937s	still wants to get some looting done
3938s	purple hangs sword in the back pocket
3940s	though really good this early on we were
3941s	just talking about how good those early
3943s	purple weapons are but no past is
3945s	actually going to come back after
3946s	finding the reset here into Mike Mike
3948s	though not having any of it going to get
3950s	a huge lead out of the gate here on the
3952s	past will find the hon sword back in
3954s	hesitates a little bit though going to
3955s	use the to try to recover control of
3957s	neutral Pace though into the armor swap
3959s	is going to get a full reset essentially
3962s	Pace coming back around with the fan
3963s	going to get a couple clean hits here
3964s	Mike though returning the favor again
3966s	that purple hon sword putting in a ton
3968s	of work for him here in terms of the
3970s	damage Pac with the RB and the fan into
3972s	the jumping R&B down on Mike Mike going
3974s	to be about the same HP but again that
3976s	purple Hong swword counts for so much
3977s	more every time it connects onto Pace
3979s	past is slowly falling behind as
3981s	alliance's Frost of shows up for the
3983s	potential third party pace is going to
3985s	take a lot of dam damage here not a lot
3987s	of places to go but Frost secures the
3989s	elimination and is now in the 1 V one
3992s	with Mike Frost ofus investing gf2 here
3994s	just to break away Mike going to use
3995s	that scale rush to give Chase here as
3997s	Frost ofis just looks to slip away here
4000s	Mike from above actually connects with
4002s	the vertical off of the Hong sword with
4003s	the scale Rush rease here Frost ofus
4005s	just continuing to try to break ankles
4008s	here rather than try to face down the
4009s	purple Hong sword but Mike has got his
4011s	number the F2 is back up off online
4013s	Frost will get away from more of that
4015s	damage but Mike is hungry for the
4017s	elimination and will continue the chase
4019s	down grapples coming in tight here Frost
4021s	ofus gets parried by Mike Mike goes in
4023s	huge there's the reg grapple I don't
4024s	think there's anything Frosty can do and
4026s	Mike picks up his third elimination of
4028s	the game and is off to an absolute tear
4031s	he is indeed he's out for blood today
4034s	hey Mike Mike I mean even even spider as
4037s	well in the past bi-weekly has not not
4041s	been too happy with their own
4042s	performance I would imagine considering
4044s	that they weren't able to hold on to the
4047s	crown for these bi weeklys for the
4049s	longest time they went somewhat
4052s	uncontested in their biweekly wins uh
4055s	and all of a sudden they started to
4057s	change and they are certainly it's a
4060s	little bit of a wakeup call they they
4062s	you know hey who knows could have could
4064s	be could be just a bad day could be a
4067s	couple bad days it could be mental could
4069s	be burnout who knows at the end of the
4071s	day but they are certainly on the ball
4074s	today Mike with three kills on the
4076s	zipping no less character that although
4079s	is extremely hard to take down doesn't
4082s	really have all that many uh that many
4085s	aggressive tools let's say however
4088s	speaking of aggressive tools Jan popping
4090s	that ultimate looking for the to combo
4093s	onto this kyin but not able to find it
4096s	forces out that combo break and now
4097s	being aggressed On by drg's Fun Fong
4101s	catches him jumping with the p sword
4103s	never jump against P sword my guy you're
4106s	going to eat a lot of damage if you get
4110s	clipped by that lmbb into R&B but it
4112s	looks as though Fong is going to get
4115s	griefed here by chuang jumping in he
4117s	wants to get into the real of Yang he
4119s	does not care that there is a player on
4122s	his way out with very low HP chuang
4125s	trying to secure this Yang pass going in
4128s	for the dashes does find the Yang pass
4131s	can he survive though I'm not sure how
4133s	much time there is left wait this is a
4135s	very dangerous situation sitation Chang
4137s	one HP situation goes up into the sky
4140s	and he's oh okay maybe not maybe I
4142s	should have commited this one he's on
4144s	the way out Fong decides maybe I can get
4148s	this kill maybe goes for the cannon shot
4150s	but unfortunately not able to find the
4152s	connection and is instead going to be
4154s	going into the realm of Yang and now we
4156s	have the fights taking place ug's Mike
4159s	up against past the The Grudge Match
4162s	Mike goes for the Parry doesn't manage
4164s	to find it gets clipped by the focus on
4166s	the way out Mike sending that9 release
4169s	onto paste taking a lot of his health of
4172s	paste choosing to save his ultimate for
4175s	Nora 2 finally using it now going to be
4177s	going for this release catches Mike off
4180s	of that Parry attempt doesn't find it
4183s	past so goes for the reactivation
4186s	interestingly as opposed to looking to
4187s	go for the combo and gets a little bit
4190s	of heal but it's not going to be enough
4191s	you're not going to be out healing that
4193s	zipping yeah absolutely crazy there
4196s	might coming out on top of as we head
4197s	over to wolves Wang land going to be
4199s	popping that ult here on hottie looking
4200s	to get that V2 off onto drg's Fong Fong
4203s	holding the space though waiting for him
4204s	to come around vong will get caught out
4206s	here we going to see that fire tick put
4208s	on even though we're going to see the
4209s	freeze come in he's going to reapply as
4211s	well wants to keep that fire tick damage
4213s	going through not give him any break
4215s	here the reg grapple into the Hong sword
4217s	combo bong on the back foot feeling
4219s	forced to pop the ultimate here he's got
4220s	one HP and a dream misses the freeze
4222s	here wangang needs one hit there it is
4224s	the R&B connection as W as wangang comes
4227s	out on top inside your second realm of
4230s	Yang ladies and gentlemen absolutely
4233s	huge for wangyang here going to be his
4234s	third elimination this game meaning he's
4237s	going to be right behind Mike who's
4239s	currently sitting at four wolves
4241s	swapping over to Wang Yang looking to
4243s	already put more points on the board in
4245s	game one than we saw from his
4247s	counterpart last week K Bal who only put
4250s	a Sixpoint day up on the board wangang
4253s	already matching half of that in his
4255s	first game of the
4257s	day indeed and not and only in the first
4260s	uh in the first 10 minutes of that first
4262s	game as well and looky here we've got
4265s	the repeat the run back pace and Mike
4268s	going at it yet again Pace with those
4270s	blue fist plays trying to do as much as
4272s	he can up against Mike's golden staff
4276s	popping that ultimate doesn't manage to
4278s	find the reactivation confirmation there
4280s	the third party is going to be coming
4282s	through as well Janan jumping in with
4283s	that pul sword hit Pace with a beautiful
4286s	grabs that golden staff and is
4287s	immediately on the retreat going to be
4289s	trying to get it out of there but has to
4291s	turn it back around as he doesn't have
4292s	the ability to disengage and now Janan
4295s	is going to be jumping in with that pord
4296s	R&B catching him on the side unable to
4300s	avoid the damage unfortunately past is
4302s	now fully eliminated from the lobby as
4304s	well Mike catches juanan on a bit of a
4307s	movement Arrow Janan turns it back
4308s	around with a staff R&B not expecting it
4312s	Mike going back and forth contemplating
4315s	the the armor swap no need he still got
4317s	quite a lot of Health to work with and
4319s	white Tiger's prowess as well
4321s	interestingly going for the white
4323s	Tiger's prowers in of instead of the
4325s	Vermilion Birds might on the first realm
4328s	of Yang now I think that this probably
4330s	simply because he is playing zipping and
4332s	he's going to be doubling up on that
4334s	healing and going to be essentially
4336s	unkillable with all of this sustain now
4340s	we've got a lot of players jumping in to
4343s	this party gate Crashers looking to find
4345s	their opportunity to steal away some
4347s	killan he is not is not looking good for
4351s	him he got poisoned T225 is going to be
4353s	able to pick up the kill there Mike
4355s	trying to finish it off but not able to
4356s	find it now T25 getting picked up by drg
4359s	Fong Mike grabbing that s blue denying
4362s	it from Fong Fong now in a unwinable
4365s	situation using his last Dash to try and
4367s	disengage going over to towards X Shin
4370s	catches him in his sight going to be
4372s	trying to chase him down with these
4374s	grapples f constantly trying desperately
4378s	running the
4379s	F1
4381s	interesting F1 Justina we've seen a lot
4385s	of that lately in solos believe it or
4387s	not it's been serving a lot of these
4388s	players really well Fong though in a bit
4390s	of a pickle here with a minute and 40
4392s	seconds left remaining for Yang
4394s	depletion it kills him here wolves
4396s	wangang nearby here too with the V2 if
4398s	he connects onto this I don't think
4399s	there's anything Fong can do here yet
4401s	but no verse going to steal the
4403s	elimination away from wangang wangang
4405s	only 17 seconds here left remaining on
4407s	this Vermilion he needs to make
4409s	something happen there he goes he's
4411s	going to go down so he's still going to
4412s	be in the game here but luckily he
4414s	didn't wait it out and end up getting
4417s	eliminated there so verse picks up
4419s	another elimination here and will go to
4421s	three going to tie it up with wangang as
4423s	well Mike sitting on five doing what ug
4426s	Mike does this is the Mike we're used to
4428s	seeing speaking of Mike uh almost
4430s	bumping into one of those jellyfishes
4432s	there he thinks better of it jump
4433s	cancels that grapple uh because those
4435s	jellyfish hurt they do about twice as
4439s	much damage as the regular mushrooms if
4441s	I'm not mistaken and it ticks down
4443s	really fast though we are getting ready
4445s	to set up for our second set of yangs
4446s	here it looks like te star with ticket
4448s	in hand waiting to head on in Mike just
4451s	doing a little bit of grubbing here
4454s	needs to get some extra items in the
4455s	back pocket before he comes over he is
4457s	going to try to contest Shu Jang here
4459s	get himself a ticket and find his way
4461s	into that realm of Yang if at all
4462s	possible chuang just playing Ring Around
4464s	the Rosie here still holding on to those
4466s	fist blades which you know nerfed this
4468s	patch pretty heavily here that's why
4470s	we've seen them fall out of favor they
4472s	used to be the go-to weapon uh at the
4474s	beginning of the game and we see much
4476s	less of them
4477s	now no absolutely I mean thing is even
4481s	though they have been NF although they
4483s	have had their power reduced somewhat it
4486s	is still the case that this weapon
4490s	simply because of the way that it has
4492s	been designed and the and the tools that
4494s	it has at its dispos Al it is most
4496s	likely almost always going to be a very
4500s	prevalent weapon pickup as you know the
4503s	the ability to hold Focus Dodge for up
4507s	to four times and then immediately
4509s	release or look to cancel making it
4512s	extremely hard to read what the what
4514s	your opponent is going to be doing is is
4517s	just so unbelievably good it's so so
4519s	useful and it's likely going to be a uh
4522s	a very staple weapon moving forward uh
4525s	in the in the future for nraa oh the
4528s	textbook very nice to see I love to I
4531s	love doing that it's a lot of fun I'll
4533s	explain it in a bit but Wang leang he's
4535s	being on he's the sky doing a pretty
4538s	good job of it as well wangang literally
4540s	a sliver of that orange HP just barely
4544s	avoiding any more damage able to stall
4547s	it out for a while but the problem is
4549s	now that he no longer has his ultimate
4552s	verse now in full advantage state trying
4555s	to take advantage of this but it's oh no
4558s	has it gone terribly wrong ver you saved
4562s	your all too long buddy you got to use
4565s	it and wangle turns it around oh my good
4570s	T star the receiving end of the ult here
4573s	from chuang that verse should have used
4575s	and star here with no ult in the back
4577s	pocket here unfortunately Chu Jang out
4579s	of ult as well now looking to find the
4581s	entrance we're going to see the F being
4582s	invested by star this is going to come
4584s	down to whoever ever takes control of
4586s	neutral next star if he gets it just has
4589s	a huge intro in but no the vulpine star
4594s	star oh my goodness all he needs is the
4596s	cannon shot there it is he was not
4598s	expecting that to come out oh my
4601s	goodness you'll love to see it this is
4603s	typically you know we typically see the
4605s	vulpine essence make it to like that
4606s	first set of Yang and then get popped
4608s	inside that Yang for that player to be
4610s	able to survive and keep keep the game
4612s	alive there but star here takes it all
4614s	the way to our second Yang here and it
4617s	pays off in Spades for him because
4619s	without that I'm pretty sure he dies to
4622s	that combo there from those fist blades
4624s	Duncan indeed that was uh I mean thing
4628s	is though it's I'm not really sure
4631s	whether or not it's he does it
4633s	deliberately because here's the thing if
4635s	you go for this red Soul Jade you and
4638s	you go into the first real of Yang you
4639s	risk losing it and although first round
4642s	of Yang is extremely extremely useful to
4645s	winning you know you get that V bite you
4647s	get whatever you like you get that early
4649s	gold weapon if you save it for the
4651s	secondary realm of Yang you could
4654s	actually be getting more value out of it
4657s	and at the sacrifice of not really
4659s	looking to get kills early on for the
4661s	first Yang avoiding the first realm of
4663s	Yang depletion situation and looking to
4666s	dominate the secondary one I'm not sure
4668s	if he does this on purpose but Food For
4670s	Thought regardless we're heading on over
4673s	to Chang and verse scrapping it out vers
4676s	on those golden dual halberts going to
4678s	be doing a lot of damage catches chuang
4682s	in the air off of that jump lmbb
4684s	constantly chipping him down with this
4686s	fire t on that flame breath for the
4688s	cannon verse going for the overh hold in
4691s	the neutral finds the Parry on chuang
4693s	chuang forced to use that combo break to
4696s	try and stay alive but the ballista is
4697s	in play action look at him he's Clos
4701s	he's as close to his monitor as he can
4703s	be he's looking he's trying to those
4705s	shots he finds them both as well verse
4708s	takes a lot of damage finds the dash
4711s	here verse now immediately forced to use
4714s	this uh ultimate to make sure that he
4717s	doesn't go down but can he find that
4718s	Soul Blum is he going to look for it
4720s	does he know that it went down just
4723s	outside of the Zone he's looking for it
4725s	he's trying to find it he needs it Yang
4727s	depletion is ticking him down he needs
4729s	to find this Soul Bloom can he spotted
4731s	out it's it's next to the river mate you
4734s	can find it I
4736s	so it looks as though he's going to be
4738s	giving up that oh is he I don't know I
4741s	don't know at this point he's going back
4742s	and forth he's trying to make the
4744s	decision whether or not he wants to go
4745s	on in but he does have this fight up
4748s	against him right in his face aen
4750s	looking to get aggressive with these
4752s	purple fist blades verse now having to
4755s	downgrade to that blue armor and no
4758s	ultimate available is going to be a hard
4759s	for fight for him going forwards action
4763s	just playing the neutral biing time
4765s	waiting playing extremely defensive
4767s	waiting for his F to come back off cool
4769s	down and there it is he finds it forces
4771s	out that combo break again from verse is
4773s	he going to be looking to try and push
4775s	this forwards or is he going to just try
4777s	and stall this out perhaps he's aware of
4779s	the fact that verse has that Yang
4782s	depletion he knows that all he has to do
4784s	is stall it out but instead verse is
4787s	trying to push forwards forcing out this
4789s	ultimate from Xin uses both of these
4792s	blinks and now the the the dash is going
4794s	to come through doesn't want to give it
4796s	up though he's grappling past grappling
4798s	after him the overhaul Mike's going to
4800s	be coming in exan does find the kill but
4802s	he does he find the soul blo he does
4803s	indeed Mike now getting juggled up
4805s	against The Rock he's trying to loot up
4807s	from the body he knows that he's not in
4809s	all that much danger of death as he is
4811s	on that zipping Ying but thankfully for
4814s	extion he is going to be able to find
4815s	that Sol Bloom and cleanse that Yang
4818s	depletion yeah we're off to an absolute
4821s	tear in game number one here we still
4822s	have 8 minutes and 4 seconds left
4824s	remaining in the match players left
4826s	alive exactly Mike here with five
4829s	eliminations B with three wolves Wang
4831s	langang with four to e with one they're
4834s	going to be your last four players here
4836s	in game number one and this has been an
4839s	absolutely insane game already the
4842s	levels of aggressions coming out from
4844s	these players is exactly what you would
4846s	expect here for a firefly map the fights
4849s	do not stop wangang here in a really
4852s	good position he's got that purple Pole
4854s	or sorry he's got that legendary P sword
4856s	and legendary staff here and we saw him
4859s	use that hot swap combo inside the realm
4861s	of Yang to completely flip the script
4863s	and come out on top against
4865s	insurmountable odds there as soon as he
4867s	caught the juggle there and his opponent
4869s	was unable to get that ultimate out it
4871s	was all she wrote once he went into that
4873s	weapon swap having both a legendary P
4876s	sword and legendary staff is very
4878s	dangerous for the other players in this
4880s	Lobby B action here with the legendary
4882s	armor holding on to those purple fist
4885s	blades here like you said having that
4887s	ability especially in final Circle right
4889s	to be able to utilize those Dodges and
4891s	just get crazy reads out really good we
4894s	saw it in the fight there with verse
4896s	where he was able to keep verse at Bay
4897s	for really long just because verse could
4899s	not really pressure into that fight we
4901s	saw verse trying to use uh the extended
4904s	lmbb there on the Dual hies just to get
4906s	clanks so that he could guarantee
4909s	getting in close before he gives the
4911s	neutral up there but it's really hard to
4913s	work around those fist blades that way
4915s	star coming in as we see here a lot of
4917s	these players looking to try to
4919s	guarantee The Spirit Well here for
4920s	themselves cuz this is going to be an
4922s	extra legendary armor in the back pocket
4924s	that nobody can pick up Mike trying to
4927s	be the one who claims it here of course
4928s	Mike being our favorite player here who
4930s	loves to have that extra armor in the
4933s	back pocket but all these players trying
4935s	to push him out of the circle it's going
4936s	to be a tall order given that he's
4938s	playing zipping here and he's got that
4939s	fan he's going to be able to create a
4941s	lot of space here and sustain for quite
4943s	a long time tear getting e an uppercut
4945s	combo there as wolves also starting to
4947s	take a lot of damage coming in from
4949s	those fist blades there on B's action
4951s	Mike very close to securing himself The
4953s	Spirit Well star not giving it up
4956s	without a fight though star going to
4957s	come in with some big damage but Mike
4958s	going to use that F just to kind of tank
4961s	all the way through it Master Perry
4962s	coming in from Star Mike a little bit on
4964s	the back foot now as he's getting it
4966s	from every direction Mike here down to
4968s	half HP he does have ult but the players
4970s	is going to turn their attention to The
4971s	Spirit Well m going to come in and just
4973s	pop the ultimate there look to hold the
4975s	space yet again he's not willing to give
4978s	this one up as he comes in with these
4980s	dual halberds creating a lot of damage
4982s	and space onto all of these players
4984s	there it is ladies and gentlemen mik
4985s	going to be the one who secures The
4986s	Spirit Well now he's back to full health
4988s	because of the ultimate he's got his ult
4990s	back online because of the spirit well
4992s	as well and he's got that extra armor
4994s	chilling in the back pocket here Mike
4996s	now coming in onto wangyang as we're
4997s	getting ready to see that last late game
4999s	Baines breath come through and Wang L
5001s	going to take a ton of damage here
5003s	forced to burn the ultimate yet again
5005s	and ladies and gentlemen bues Airborne
5008s	here looking for the reset and Mike
5010s	trying to aggress here wants to get as
5012s	much damage out wangl going to move
5013s	around the edge of the Bane breath
5015s	trying to create as much space Oh My
5017s	Goodness Bas actually going to come in
5019s	there with the tackle as well woles able
5021s	to get most of a reset unfortunately
5023s	with no ultimate he is still going to be
5025s	very vulnerable to the rest of the lobby
5027s	he's got to try to create some distance
5029s	that's why we see him swapping to the
5030s	dagger here looking to get those scale
5032s	rushes keep that movement going as much
5034s	as possible Mike on the grapple here
5036s	does not want to give the chase up
5037s	though and we're just going to see Wang
5039s	langang look to continue try to break
5040s	the ankles of everybody in this
5042s	Lobby we are indeed he's managed to make
5045s	it over to this rock formation and he's
5047s	going to be able to utilize this
5049s	extremely well to just constantly stay
5051s	on his toes constantly kite this out I
5054s	believe that this fight is just going to
5056s	end up going to end game
5059s	as none of these are over necessarily
5063s	except for perhaps
5065s	as he does have that buff available now
5068s	I wanted to quickly Circle back to that
5070s	Yang fight where I mentioned that well
5073s	well I exclaimed that oh very nice to
5075s	see on the fan parry and that I would
5077s	then explain it later on so what
5079s	happened was when you hold the
5081s	horizontal focus on fan horizontal being
5085s	you know it has a horizontal H hit box
5087s	not a vertical one therefore if you
5090s	crouch as you see the opponent you're
5093s	fighting against holding the fan
5095s	horizontal Focus attack you can Crouch
5099s	and simply just remain crouched and wait
5102s	as long as the fan player doesn't cancel
5104s	out of it and look to try and tag you
5106s	with a light attack for example you're
5108s	going to be able to just sit there sit
5110s	underneath that horizontal focus and be
5113s	completely safe if he does release it
5116s	and then immediately just Parry If he if
5119s	you see him release the focus attack you
5121s	can just Parry straight up it will make
5124s	you stand up and you will then
5126s	essentially just get a free a free Parry
5128s	onto this fan blue
5130s	Focus it's it's it's just one of the
5132s	most textbook punishes that you can go
5134s	for against somebody who is holding a
5137s	horizontal focus on fan quite a lot
5140s	however typically we don't see it very
5141s	often in Pro play as a lot of these
5144s	players are very well aware of this uh
5148s	of this interaction and will very very
5151s	rarely throw out the fan horizontal
5153s	Focus if they catch their opponent or if
5156s	they see them crouching in front of them
5158s	repeatedly because they know that
5159s	they're going to be ready for it they
5161s	know that they're going to be looking
5162s	for it but uh yeah no very nice little
5165s	tip for you if you see someone spamming
5167s	lmb focus on fan that's the trick for
5170s	you but uh you know who's going to have
5173s	to pull a trick out of a hat right now
5175s	Wang leang he in a very bad spot
5178s	absolutely no resources left in the back
5181s	pocket he has nothing at his disposal
5184s	going into the Hardy ultimate he's going
5186s	to have no he can't heal so all he can
5190s	do is look to try and aggress on these
5192s	players and that's exactly what he's
5193s	doing putting a lot of pressure onto
5195s	Mike now forcing out that ultimate
5196s	looking to try and cash him again
5198s	doesn't manage to find the fire tick uh
5200s	again unfortunately he's going to have
5202s	to look for the disengage but Mike is
5204s	turning his attention over to this fight
5206s	between Xin and star Xin having taken a
5209s	lot of damage from this engagement and
5212s	now star going to be focused down by by
5214s	Mike a little bit forced to have his
5216s	ultimate taken out now star goes for the
5218s	tiger grab doesn't manage to find it the
5219s	stealth making it extremely difficult
5221s	for him to catch a shin on these
5223s	teleports does find the jump attack and
5227s	does confirm the kill going into the
5230s	Zone but star he's extremely low and he
5233s	is going to be taken down oh look at
5235s	this though wangan comes in this is
5236s	absolutely huge for him Mike doesn't
5239s	have old the f is about to come back on
5240s	cool down but Mike not or sorry wangang
5242s	not having heals here being able to come
5244s	and get that Soul Bloom get the
5245s	elimination as well to tie it up with
5247s	Mike means whoever gets the next
5248s	elimination here will be walking away
5251s	your MVP wangang going to be taking
5252s	quite a bit of damage here question is
5254s	can he come out on the top against Mike
5256s	one of the top players if not the top
5258s	player here in all of the nbpl he's
5261s	looking for that opening but Mike is
5262s	going to be too smart with the F he
5264s	comes in no oh my goodness the tick just
5267s	too much there Mike able to use that F
5269s	just to armor through those attacks in
5271s	the end take control of that neutral
5272s	again and clean things up it's going to
5274s	be ug's Mike who comes out on top in
5277s	game number one with six eliminations
5279s	and a first place finish I do believe
5280s	for a game score of about
5284s	10.4 what a game from Mike he's coming
5287s	in he's sending a message on the zipping
5291s	Ying as well you know we we've seen
5294s	zipping be an absolute Menace you know
5299s	in in the past she's been
5301s	extremely extremely annoying to deal
5304s	with as we all know uh we all we all and
5308s	you guys remember I don't think anyone
5310s	can forget if they if you were playing
5313s	when zipping came out you know what I'm
5315s	talking about you remember thead knows
5319s	my Vivid hatred for zipping that said I
5322s	got to give Mike something here that I
5324s	this is something I haven't picked out
5326s	uh and I just realized in this game that
5328s	I think Mike was doing here I think Mike
5329s	is picking up the zipping specifically
5332s	as a counter to Liam we saw him do it
5333s	multiple times where he uses the
5336s	activation on the F and the activation
5337s	on the ultimate to actually completely
5340s	avoid the ults being thrown out by Liam
5343s	and just completely basically negate
5344s	Liam's ult we saw every Liam struggle
5347s	into their fights with Mike in this
5349s	particular game because of that and it's
5352s	really intelligent I don't think anybody
5354s	else is really kind of picked up on this
5355s	ability to use zipping to overcome that
5359s	Liam ultimate and Mike just doing it
5361s	like it second nature but speaking of
5362s	doing things like their second nature
5364s	answer for treasure is always second
5365s	nature cuz it's always right here on the
5366s	show who won game number one today I we
5369s	literally just talked about him if you
5371s	can't this is this is the trend though
5373s	this is the trend freebie first
5375s	question's always a freebie you know
5378s	it's always a freebie and then it just
5380s	gets much much harder much more evil as
5383s	the day goes on but yeah no who won game
5386s	one today a Mike hint hint B Star C
5392s	verse or D Bower action but yeah hey
5395s	thing is what you were talking about run
5397s	is a very is a very important note when
5401s	it comes to Liam and the changes that
5404s	have been made to him the Buffs the
5406s	Nerfs and something that I do I I have
5408s	talked about quite a lot on on stream
5410s	and just in general when discussing this
5412s	you know Liam was the kind of character
5415s	that when he was released right when he
5417s	was released in in in solos he initially
5420s	only had two charges on his ultimate two
5424s	of those oric swords as they're called
5426s	and now the problem with him initially
5429s	was everyone saw you know how this
5434s	character and then uh as time went on
5436s	people started playing him a little bit
5437s	more and then he got buffed and before
5440s	the buff I I said verbatim you know
5443s	actually before I continue that thought
5446s	taking a look at the scoreboard right
5447s	now Mike you are exactly right run 10.2
5451s	points for Mike of the first game that
5455s	is that's ugly right there wolves Wang
5458s	leang it coming in with seven
5461s	unfortunate I don't want to bring it up
5463s	but I also kind of feel like I should
5465s	that's more points than kyal got in six
5467s	games the other day that's a feels bad
5469s	for kyal it is what it is wolves wangle
5472s	and coming in clutch to save it for
5474s	wolves Bower X in third verse in fourth
5478s	both well 4.5 and four points
5481s	respectively te star on 3.5 225 on 2.5
5485s	Fang and Janan on 1.5 each and then the
5489s	rest with one point and only one person
5491s	got a zero in that game but hey Pac my
5496s	boy he needs to step it up a little bit
5499s	you know my guy
5500s	here wasn't Pace the winner of the last
5503s	bi-weekly final yes he he was the winner
5505s	of the last bi-weekly final again you
5507s	know you and me were talking about some
5509s	of the players this week before we got
5510s	things kicked off and again past
5512s	absolutely dominated the last by weekly
5514s	final but unfortunately he's coming to
5515s	this week he's been much much quieter
5518s	right so he's a player to keep I think
5520s	he's a player to keep her eyes out on
5522s	but when it comes to like players who
5523s	have consistently been doing well we got
5525s	to talk about Jean Yuan who didn't have
5527s	a great game one here but look at his
5528s	day one 26 points on the board that's a
5531s	massive day that's more points than Mike
5533s	put on the board in his day one in those
5536s	same lobbies with Mike now Mike here
5538s	obviously really explosive game here for
5540s	his game one a 10.2 huge game for him
5543s	coming in
5545s	killing it uh with this first game he
5547s	still has five games left to put points
5549s	up on the board the question is will he
5551s	be able to climb all the way to the
5552s	tippity top and be where Mike likes to
5555s	be heading into those biweekly finals at
5557s	the very beginning but first we're going
5558s	to take a look at the replays here from
5559s	game number one brought to you by
5561s	Thunderbolt indeed uh and while we're
5564s	going to be looking at this I'm going to
5566s	quickly continue that thought that I was
5567s	going through but what a fair coming out
5569s	from Wang leang this this engagement
5571s	very very nice this little so okay okay
5574s	so I have a little bit of a gripe with
5576s	this this is a bit bit silly you know he
5578s	goes R&B hold Dodge lmbb into Acca into
5582s	another lmb Uppa and now this although a
5586s	lot of you at home are going to think
5587s	that this is a is it's a it's a laggy
5590s	combos is just a it is just silly it
5593s	should be possible and realistically I
5595s	don't think it should be possible
5596s	however it is technically a frame trap
5598s	it catches you if you try and do the
5601s	wrong option selection when getting hit
5604s	by after that R&B but uh it is what it
5607s	is he does manage to catch him he
5609s	catches him slipping and then right here
5611s	he catches oh my goodness he catches
5614s	this guy
5615s	slipping you got bro you Sav it for next
5618s	game
5621s	L God damn but he does him dirty with
5625s	that one absolutely you know hey the
5627s	greed is bad you know greed is bad not
5630s	greed is not good greed is bad use your
5632s	ultimate use your cool downs and you're
5635s	going to have a much better time in
5636s	general but we're taking a look at the
5638s	zipping and we're going to be going back
5639s	to that thought after we take a look at
5641s	the MVP stats for ug's Mike here on the
5646s	zipping what did he have at his disposal
5648s	Rune what have we got 3,000 damage
5651s	damage yeah absolutely insane 28,000
5654s	damage coming from the melee weapons
5655s	over almost 12,000 coming in off of that
5658s	hon he's got burst arrow poison Splash
5660s	rupture Gale benic slow shot and another
5663s	rupture Gale
5664s	in the back pocket here and you know
5666s	this is something this has been a huge
5667s	Trend uh in solos right now where
5670s	everybody moving to that cannon that
5672s	Cannon being so important being able to
5673s	get that Splash damage and most
5675s	importantly that burn tick when they
5677s	combined rupture gaale with that burn
5679s	Soul Jade it was an absolutely massive
5682s	change to the overall meta because of
5684s	how important that burn tick really is
5687s	when it comes to the anti-healing that
5689s	has been added to burn uh earlier this
5692s	year it makes it so much harder for
5695s	players to come out on top especially
5696s	once you get to End Circle that
5698s	anti-healing combined with the Zone tick
5701s	is absolutely devastating we actually
5704s	saw uh earlier last week uh somebody put
5707s	up
5708s	28,000 damage with Canon alone they
5711s	basically spent the entire game with
5714s	just everything Canon they had all of
5716s	the Soul Jades they had assembled
5718s	essentially the Infinity Stones of
5720s	Cannon and had three cannons in the back
5723s	pocket and they just kept hit players
5724s	even in final Circle there's a moment
5726s	there's a player in their face I believe
5728s	it was Mike that was in their face
5730s	fighting them and they see somebody low
5733s	in zone tick Zone they just turn around
5734s	and meteor them and then go back to
5737s	fighting Mike push Mike away Cannon shot
5739s	him Mike comes in push Mike away Cannon
5741s	shot and they come out on top this this
5743s	is a meta that's you know being pulled
5745s	over from trios Canon has always been an
5748s	extremely important weapon in trios and
5751s	now we're seeing it trickle on over to
5753s	solos as well just just because of how
5755s	important that burn tick is and it being
5757s	combined with that rupture Gale Soul
5759s	Jade freeing up an extra slot in your
5761s	back pocket because realistically all
5763s	you need is rupture Gale and the the
5766s	burn Soul Jade to really get a lot of
5769s	value out of those cannons Duncan
5771s	absolutely I completely agree I was on
5774s	that canoon hype train very early myself
5778s	you know as soon as they combin those
5780s	jads I knew things were going to be
5783s	getting
5785s	uh but it's a it's very cool I like that
5787s	they combine the Jason the in the Jade
5790s	rework overhaul was one of the best
5793s	changes they ever made to the game and I
5795s	hey good job I I really I I feel like a
5799s	lot of people enjoyed it there a lot a
5801s	lot of changes were made that were very
5803s	very good however obviously as things
5805s	are you know nothing is perfect and
5808s	there are still a few adjustments that I
5809s	feel could be made potentially you know
5812s	rupture Gale flame breath could have its
5815s	it have its Rarity increased a legendary
5818s	or perhaps make it so that it's harder
5821s	to level it up because initially when
5823s	you first get that Jade you only have
5826s	the rupture Gale it doesn't give you the
5828s	flame breath off the bat and you have to
5830s	hit eight eight cannonballs eight and
5834s	now although that does seem like a
5836s	decent amount the end of the day it's
5838s	really not you know it's like you just
5840s	hit a few cannon shots you know
5842s	especially in trios for example
5844s	you know in trios you throw a cannon
5846s	ball into a team you hit all three of
5849s	them you just got that's three cannon
5851s	shots you know it's not that hard but
5854s	all all you have to do in solos
5856s	realistically is find a good third party
5858s	and sit on the edge of that fight with
5859s	the Canon exactly and you're going to
5861s	you're going to level it up very quickly
5862s	uh I I personally think one of the
5864s	things they could do is change it so
5866s	that I think Eight's fine for solos I
5869s	think for trios realistically double the
5871s	number take it to 16 and it it's
5874s	balances the Jade a lot better but you
5875s	know speaking of Jades we talked about
5876s	fist blades earlier in uh game number
5878s	one as well and fist blades like you
5880s	said I think is always going to kind of
5881s	be a Cornerstone weapon now and
5883s	typically what the meta has kind of been
5885s	is we see a lot of players early on in
5887s	the match lean on to those fist blades
5889s	right because when you talk about
5891s	weapons and their kits kit forkit no
5893s	soul Jades fist blade just kind of still
5896s	top dog right now realistically but once
5899s	you start to get those Soul Jades to to
5901s	back up some of those other weapons
5904s	start picking up those legendary weapons
5905s	from heading into the realm of Yang you
5907s	can't just backpocket the legendary
5909s	weapon and not use it that extra damage
5911s	can't be ignored you need to take all of
5912s	that money that you've been rolling
5914s	especially from winning those fights in
5915s	Yang you need to go roll Soul Jad and
5918s	look for you those Soul Jades of Destiny
5920s	as we call them those Soul Jades that
5922s	win you games uh and you know rupture
5924s	Gale being one of those Soul Jades right
5926s	so typically you see people kind of
5929s	start on the fist blades and then it
5931s	shift once you start to get to that mid
5933s	to late late game and you start to find
5935s	some of the Soul Jades that you really
5937s	need to kind of get your engine online
5938s	if you will yeah no absolutely however I
5941s	would like to note uh the fist blades
5945s	r&b. n this pretty much blue blue fist
5949s	blades point9 R&B does pretty much the
5952s	same damage as a golden long sword R&B
5954s	point9 so let's talk about that one take
5957s	that to the drawing board let's adjust
5958s	that perhaps a little bit but okay back
5961s	to what I was saying I want to get this
5963s	point out Liam Liam originally I said
5967s	this character is pretty good he's solid
5971s	he's balanced however the the in
5974s	comparison to other characters he's not
5976s	that good so he's not going to get
5977s	played and therefore Nora will likely
5980s	buff this character but the problem is
5983s	the only way they could necessarily buff
5985s	this character so that he's
5988s	good uh is going to make him overpowered
5992s	and that's exactly what happened I said
5994s	they're going to give him an extra
5996s	charge on his Al and he's going to be
5997s	broken and that's exactly what happened
5999s	he became the most one of the most
6002s	obnoxious characters for a very long
6004s	time and he became extremely extremely
6007s	popular in this solo meta in nbpl and
6010s	across the board in in ranked everywhere
6012s	every server everyone was playing him
6015s	and then you know they think okay how do
6018s	we Nerf this character they tried
6019s	nerfing him in multiple different ways
6021s	making it so that he couldn't uh he
6024s	could he had longer end frames on his
6026s	alt activation he couldn't do as much
6029s	with his with his swords in in terms of
6031s	comboing stuff like that none of it
6033s	worked and the reason why is because he
6035s	had three available and now if you think
6038s	about it in this way a character has
6041s	multiple tools and a lot of good
6044s	characters have multiple things multiple
6047s	tools that they can use to negate tools
6050s	from other characters so Liam he has
6053s	essentially five gold focuses or he used
6056s	to have five gold Focus frames where he
6058s	had his combo break no six in fact his
6062s	ult activation his three oric swords in
6065s	Ultimate and then once his ult expired
6067s	he had combo break again so six gold
6069s	Focus states that meant that almost no
6073s	character was able to stand up to him as
6075s	they couldn't match that number and so
6077s	they took it down to two and now what do
6081s	we have here four go uh well
6085s	fiveish four fiveish gold Focus states
6088s	that you can do with Liam and now
6090s	because of that so you mentioned zipping
6092s	earlier being able to essentially tank
6094s	through Liam and make it essentially
6097s	negate his ultimate pressure and that's
6098s	exactly right you know her her ability
6102s	to play the initial neutral extremely
6104s	well and extend it with that healing
6106s	means that she can get two FS or so off
6109s	before she needs to actually or before
6111s	the the Liam is going to use ultimate so
6113s	she can use use one F to to initially
6115s	start the fight forces out the combo
6117s	breaker has another F from when Liam
6120s	uses the ultimate and looks to use the
6122s	oric sword and then has the alt
6124s	activation which is also gold frames
6126s	which is going to protect it from the
6127s	second oric sword and then during this
6129s	entire time as long as she's playing the
6131s	chip battle she's going to be able to
6134s	take Liam's Health lower and lower and
6136s	lower whilst maintaining her health at a
6138s	high threshold meaning that it becomes
6140s	very difficult for Liam to actually take
6143s	down as dipping as he doesn't have any
6145s	inbuilt fire damage on his kit making it
6148s	that making it hard for him to cut down
6150s	that healing so he's going to need a
6151s	fire Jade if he can find one or he needs
6155s	to just completely just absolutely
6158s	dumpster the zipping and just read him
6161s	like an absolute book and and and then
6164s	win through the through like hard
6166s	initial neutral fight but other than
6168s	that it's going to be very difficult but
6170s	that's the point I wanted to make it's
6172s	it's a very it's it's an in-depth sort
6174s	of look at characters in their gold
6176s	Focus states and their their power
6178s	spikes within neutral which I think is
6180s	definitely a very interesting
6181s	conversation um and but one to be had
6184s	another day we've uh I've talked about
6186s	this while they've been choosing their
6188s	characters and what do we have here rude
6190s	I mean the the most notable thing here
6192s	is we're going to have a bunch of
6193s	hotties in this Lobby we're going to end
6194s	up having a triple hottie Lobby because
6196s	of the way the bands worked out but Wang
6198s	leang here going back to back hottie
6200s	here he's going to immediately out of
6202s	the gate end up using his double hero
6204s	selection meaning he has to play a
6205s	different hero every single game after
6207s	this as we are heading into Hollow rooth
6210s	and it looks like it's going to be the
6211s	classic we're going to have a lot of
6212s	people coming in we're going to have
6213s	three people here looking to contest
6215s	Podium everybody else spawning around
6217s	plume castle and looking to head
6219s	straight in to plumed Castle it's kind
6221s	of the same story that we get out of
6223s	celestra right uh a ton of people over
6226s	on Morsi will spawn directly around
6228s	celestra they'll start with those fights
6230s	as they win fights everybody will
6231s	migrate into celestra because of all of
6234s	the terrain that's there you have so
6236s	much accessibility to scale rush to
6237s	create movement so if something goes
6239s	wrong with one of your fights in
6240s	celestra you are much more likely to be
6243s	able to break away break the ankles of
6245s	those players and find an actual reset
6248s	so that's why we typically see that
6249s	happening uh with these sort of spawns
6251s	where everybody spawns around the
6253s	central location takes those early
6254s	fights and then Works their way into
6256s	those Central locations and we're to
6258s	start things off here with ug's Mike and
6260s	fun plus Phoenix's verse spawning in the
6262s	same area Mike not getting the best of
6265s	drops off of that though but he's going
6266s	to come down below start to find some
6268s	gear for himself vers down below with
6270s	the blue armor blue fist blades already
6272s	going to drop down onto Mike here Mike
6274s	going to lose most of his armor in that
6275s	initial drop down here tons of damage
6277s	coming in from the fist blades Mike at a
6279s	disadvantage here it's fist blade V fist
6280s	blade but Mike will find an armor swap
6283s	the Parry immediately makes that armor
6285s	swap pretty meaningless for him here as
6287s	we're going to see verse continue the
6288s	chase here Mike caught a little on
6290s	terrain here that's not something you're
6292s	used to seeing Mike with another armor
6294s	swap though the RNG Gods come through as
6297s	he opens the little pack there finds one
6299s	immediately and we're going to see verse
6301s	looking to have to take the armor away
6303s	again but it's going to be Mike who
6304s	finds control of the neutral this time
6306s	and rips the armor straight off of verse
6308s	verse into an armor swap though on to
6310s	the white and Mike going to break away
6312s	and verse decides you know what it's not
6314s	worth it and Mike with another blue
6316s	armor down below verse going to go down
6318s	will he see the blue armor no he gets a
6320s	huge Parry though turns it back but Mike
6323s	has the armor in the back pocket mike
6326s	always knows where the armor is
6327s	especially when he opens it ver is going
6329s	to have to break away yet
6331s	again oh my goodness it's just armor
6335s	swap Galore right here then extravagan a
6339s	bit of a clown Fiesta if you will Mike
6342s	now he's out in the open no armor swaps
6345s	for you big dog ver catches him on the
6347s	opener and catches him in the second
6350s	neutral engagement as well Mike now in a
6353s	bad spot going to be uh we're going to
6355s	be seeing the okay bye-bye we're going
6358s	to be seeing the Matari ultimate from
6360s	verse coming in with that teleport into
6362s	the fist blades kicks to the face taking
6365s	down ug's Mike in the initial engagement
6368s	here off the rip a bit of a contrast
6370s	from the previous game unfortunately for
6372s	Mike not able to stand up to him there
6375s	but he's going to have plenty of time to
6376s	recover going forward in this game
6378s	however we got a fight going on between
6380s	a past and Sha Sha catching past on the
6383s	exit of that F ability with that lmbb
6387s	into the uppercut very nicely done very
6389s	nicely timed and catches a kill for
6392s	himself very early on but looky here
6395s	speaking of clown Fiesta what is going
6398s	on juanan eats a eats a Ballista shot
6402s	from T225 going to be trying to get that
6404s	armor out the box but there's no armor
6406s	it's just a golden fan does find this
6409s	wisp onto Fong here ooh oh it's
6412s	dangerous oh it's spooky what is going
6415s	on here Fong gets H Again by the oh my
6419s	God the Wisp into the fan 211 combo
6422s	catches him with the R&B at the end
6424s	after the focus and Jan yuan's getting
6427s	away with murder here he's getting out
6431s	grappling away he's very happy with
6433s	himself he's seemingly emotionless but
6436s	on the inside he's just jumping for
6439s	jumping for joy right now golden fan off
6442s	the rim oh that's what you
6444s	want tul the only character who could do
6447s	that from that position as well needing
6449s	the ultimate there the whis to block
6451s	those direct shots as well because Wang
6454s	Lang hits him directly the Whi actually
6456s	eating those backto back shots there on
6458s	the edge of the wall for him and now
6460s	Wang leang over here trying to trade
6462s	things with Di's Fong Fong realizing
6465s	there's not a whole lot left in the Box
6466s	he's going to take what he can and go
6467s	ahead and get out of here wolves going
6469s	to come through and grab a couple of
6470s	resources pop the Bell so he knows where
6472s	he head to but we're going to pop on
6473s	over upon plus Fenix verse and GG sha
6476s	getting ready to trade blows here just
6478s	inside plume castle and verse with ples
6481s	oh no the constant uppercut Dash into
6485s	sha Sha's going to take so much damage
6487s	because of that but he does find the
6488s	armor swap into the white verse looking
6490s	for the TP here going to break away from
6491s	it going to look for the reset before he
6493s	goes back in but Shaw going to be able
6495s	to pick that blue armor back up so
6496s	they're both going to return to the same
6498s	state of armor and HP if he doesn't get
6500s	scale Rush on to canceling the pot here
6502s	shot going to be on the back foot but
6504s	going to find a huge iner there with the
6506s	fist plates and does it back on to verse
6508s	he says verse you did it to me now I'm
6509s	going to do it to you now verse trying
6511s	to use that F to get some extra damage
6513s	and Shaw really low here the ultimate
6515s	going to be invest but verse gets sent
6517s	flying here and this might just save sha
6520s	vers is got to find it oh there we go
6522s	Shaw with the perfect tap touch to get
6524s	away from the Greatsword H double charge
6526s	there Shaw still looking to live here no
6529s	my goodness the Liam old's going to be
6530s	enough here going to send ver flying yet
6532s	again verse no charges left on the
6535s	ultimate here there we go the yet again
6537s	the third party though might save versus
6539s	life for just a second sha wants the
6541s	elimination before he gets eliminated
6543s	vers is going to go down sha doesn't
6545s	fight it and Shaw goes down to give two
6547s	to te
6548s	star goodness we dropped down and the
6551s	whole crew is here it's a party down
6554s	there below the rocks and uh I don't
6557s	know if you want to be at that party
6559s	looks a bit sus G and we see two players
6562s	going down here that was very very close
6566s	I I I think that it was I don't know it
6569s	was it was it was a very tense situation
6571s	verse could have canceled his ultimate
6574s	there to try and get the the reset on
6577s	that F2 cool down but in those kind of
6580s	situations it's very very hard to uh to
6583s	manage to do everything and execute
6584s	everything perfectly unfortunately
6586s	wasn't able to get that kill for himself
6588s	I don't believe and he does go down in
6591s	the but in in the meantime let's take a
6594s	look at these kills on the board we've
6596s	got three players with two kills Janan
6599s	star and T225 we've got gigg sha on the
6602s	one elimination wait no yes GG sha on
6605s	the one elimination as well and we're
6607s	going to be preparing to go into this
6609s	realm of Yang ladies and gentlemen OG's
6612s	mic definitely going to be looking to go
6614s	in there as we all well know hardi is
6617s	one of those characters that just loves
6620s	the r Yang as he's extremely
6623s	extremely annoying to deal with in the
6625s	realm of Yang as you got that combo
6628s	break and you've got the ability to just
6629s	fly high in the sky have a good time and
6633s	make sure that the person you're
6634s	fighting against doesn't have a good
6636s	time but you know who's having a good
6638s	time right nowan Yuan he's got his
6639s	golden fan he's ready to go into the
6641s	realm of Yang and tamul I think is
6643s	actually a really good pick in this game
6645s	as we've got a lot of hardies in the
6647s	lobby and a if you're a tamul
6650s	connoisseur as I know there are
6652s	certainly a few of you out there you
6654s	know that there is a little bit of tech
6656s	that you can do against Hardy if you
6658s	place your ultimate correctly you can
6661s	catch him as he goes up in the sky when
6663s	he activates his ultimate and
6665s	essentially just you you just stagger
6668s	him out of it immediately with the sand
6669s	wall and you just you just throw sand in
6672s	his eye and he just doesn't have a good
6673s	time but we're going into this fight
6675s	Janan oh Split Second decision making
6678s	not able to find that uppercut off of
6681s	that fan uh wind push Jan using that
6684s	combo break does find the ultimate
6686s	activation into the Wisp as well past oh
6689s	it's dangerous he he tries to go for the
6691s	grapple lmbb to push him into the side
6692s	of the wall but not able to find it now
6694s	grabbing these whisps from the wall
6696s	interestingly we do have the V3 coming
6699s	out from shanan I forgot to mention it
6700s	earlier typically we see a lot of uh V1
6704s	coming out from tul these days as having
6708s	that combo break available whenever you
6709s	do want it is very very good you you you
6713s	need to be you need to be a true
6715s	connoisseur of the Sandman to make V3
6718s	work these days as stepping your toe
6720s	into the sand wall can be dangerous as
6722s	it prevents you from having that combo
6724s	break available but we're back to
6725s	neutral and Jan's eating a lot of damage
6727s	eating that fat R&B not fan R&B that
6729s	dual blades R&B is coming in and it's
6731s	coming in again Pace does not care he is
6735s	off the per he's emotionless he's just
6737s	sending them back to back and look what
6740s	he's got here he's going to be getting
6741s	ugly with these gold fist blades moving
6744s	forward in this game good Lord gold fist
6747s	blades Justina that is going to be
6748s	spooky ladies and gentlemen but what
6750s	else is spooky Rune Xin situation that
6753s	he's currently in is not looking too
6754s	good for him yeah Xin here he still has
6757s	ult in the back pocket here though so if
6759s	things get hairy he can opt to go for
6761s	that but de G's Fong with ult as well as
6764s	a hotti player you have to be very
6765s	careful about how you pop ult into this
6768s	kyin cuz kyin can catch you up out of
6770s	the air if they're able to jump up high
6772s	enough or land the gra you there it is
6773s	he's going to be forced to go into this
6775s	and we're to see Fong trying to get the
6776s	musket shots instead extion able to get
6779s	at least one heal off here and Fong may
6780s	have waited just a little too long to
6782s	come in here and try to catch him out
6784s	with the ultimate he thought he was
6785s	going to be able to do it off of the
6786s	musket shots though we are going to cut
6787s	back over it's going to be Jean Yuan
6789s	versus ug's Mike here and Johan Yuan
6791s	needs to pick up this elimination Mike
6793s	and him in a very similar situation it
6794s	looks like Mike not able to come out on
6796s	top inside that real of Yang sand wall
6798s	going to come through as well Mike
6799s	trying to come in here with the V2 going
6801s	to get some damage out on toan Yan tries
6803s	to go for the aerial whisp very hard to
6806s	catch there Mike will get an armor swap
6807s	he is going to be DED here though John
6809s	Yan keeping it going here doesn't look
6811s	like he gets the reor from the edge of
6812s	the wall wolves wangang waiting looking
6814s	for that third party opportunity Jean
6816s	Yuan trying to find those musket shots
6818s	on to Mike as well wangang looking to
6820s	come in here very shortly Mike going to
6822s	get some huge damage there onto Jean
6824s	Yuan going to pop the F2 as jeanan looks
6826s	for that Upper Cut Combo wangang holding
6828s	the scal the patience of wangyang right
6830s	now he's finally going to come in but
6831s	he's not going to find any into this
6833s	mixup as we see jeanan continu to get
6835s	pressure on to by Mike here W turns on
6837s	to wangang as well both of them going to
6839s	try to catch the elimination here Mike's
6841s	going to get a breather he desperately
6843s	needs but he needs to make sure he comes
6845s	in and secures this Soul Bloom if
6846s	wangang is able to pick up this
6847s	elimination on Dean you try to keep the
6850s	game alive he's going up with the whisp
6851s	here he's able to get top side Wang Wang
6853s	misses the hit he's just trying to keep
6855s	it up oh my goodness can he get away
6857s	jeanan one HP in a dream here everybody
6859s	in the lobby wants a piece oh my
6861s	goodness Wang misses it jeanan into the
6863s	armor swap he's still here ladies and
6864s	gentlemen Against All Odds in the corner
6866s	as well it looks like he's broken the
6868s	ankles no Mike comes in from behind
6870s	catches him out in the corner no place
6872s	for him to go Mike gets the elimination
6873s	Mike gets the soul Bloom and keeps this
6875s	game
6877s	alive that's so sad I always I I feel
6880s	bad a lot of the time but I also don't
6882s	because Tamal can be real menac to deal
6885s	with at times but it's always kind of
6887s	sad to see a tomog just getting
6889s	absolutely lobbied you know it is what
6891s	it is wangang is going to be next on the
6893s	menu as well Frost is going to be

6945s	Mike Mike off the back of a banger first
6948s	game 10.2 points is not able to rep at
6953s	that going forward into this second game
6955s	but now secondary realm of Yang is
6958s	coming along is coming in the chicken
6960s	goesa in the sky and you know it's ready
6963s	to fight it's ready to go past he's
6966s	heading right on over to I believe a
6969s	shop close by the realm of Yang wasn't
6971s	there but we're going to be getting a
6973s	replay of K's
6976s	T225 up against ug's Mike and I believe
6979s	Mike actually lost this realm of Yang
6981s	but let's see how it happened ug Mike
6984s	with a beautiful whole Dodge around that
6986s	R&B Focus From the long sword very
6989s	optimal I like to see it T225 gets the
6991s	Parry into another Parry getting that oh
6995s	the combo oh the the carousel into the
6998s	wall and there it is Mike doesn't even
6999s	get to use his ultimate very ultim
7002s	coming out from tt25 there you get the
7004s	Parry don't do the par Parry thing yeah
7007s	earlier I thought it was came out on top
7009s	of Mike but it was T225 who actually
7011s	comes out on top there p over here going
7013s	to be going head to-head here versus te
7015s	star trying to take the realm of Yang
7017s	here and past again an absolute
7019s	nightmare like you said right now he's
7021s	got those legendary fist blades on the
7023s	Justina it's just not a place you want
7025s	to be start will break in and it's going
7027s	to be T225 heading back to the real of
7029s	Yang for the second time here he's got
7030s	that legendary staff here in the back
7032s	pocket because of his win in his first
7034s	real of Yang against ug's Mike star and
7036s	them trading Arrow shots there you see
7039s	both their arrows actually connected
7041s	midair there so nobody going to get
7042s	damage off of that T225 trying to hold
7044s	the space but he will eat the scale Rush
7045s	here cuz he overc commits to that just a
7048s	little bit T225 now on the back foot the
7050s	purple armor completely shredded he's
7052s	going to eat the horizontal as well not
7053s	in a good space T225 forced to burn the
7055s	ultimate already star looking to clutch
7058s	things out here T225 needs to find some
7060s	good hits here he's able to find one he
7062s	needs to get a little bit more if he
7063s	wants to stay alive Here Comes Around
7064s	the Corner looking for the pot but T225
7067s	is going to get caught out here by star
7068s	star with the blade down as well T225
7071s	not in a good space he's going to get
7073s	one more charge off of the ultimate does
7074s	it no it's not going to be enough there
7076s	we go Liam going to come in there with
7077s	the blade and secure it out tt25 going
7080s	to have to head out luckily it is Yang 2
7082s	so he's going to have 5 minutes to find
7084s	himself that obl to get back in it but
7086s	we're cutting over to jg's chuang versus
7088s	drg's Fong inside the realm of Yang here
7091s	will kylin be able to come out on top
7093s	and this time Cho Yang going to run out
7095s	of ultimate here quite shortly there it
7097s	is Fong on the bottom here trying to get
7099s	a reset Fong able to get a pot off CH
7101s	Jang tries the pressure in and then
7103s	backs off that decision could cost him
7105s	it means that Fong's going to be one pot
7107s	up ahead of him here bong though going
7108s	to come in off the scale Rush catch a
7110s	little bit of damage there CH Jang with
7111s	the NES just trying to capitalize on
7114s	that space looking for those clanks and
7116s	then trying to take control of the
7117s	neutral there he walks into the Cal
7120s	Bloom there's nothing he can do and
7121s	drg's fall and comes out on top good
7124s	googly Moes the Cavalry Bloom coming out
7127s	of nowhere one of those Jades of Destiny
7131s	this H it's a
7133s	the lawn mower he's just out on the Sid
7135s	on mower got a beer in hand just having
7137s	a good time cutting the grass the Sun in
7139s	the sky sunscreen on his the music
7142s	playing in the background Cavalry
7144s	blooming around the place very nice very
7147s	I'm happy for him he's he's having a
7148s	good time right now and look who else
7151s	has had has golden fist blades got some
7155s	more golden fist blades in the mix te
7157s	star has also got his hands on some of
7159s	these uh these nightmare fuel weapons t
7162s	T225 as you said before he is going to
7165s	be uh he's going to be afflicted by that
7168s	Yang depletion but he does have 5
7170s	minutes now as it has been changed for
7173s	the secondary realm of Yang the Yang
7175s	depletion lasts for 5 minutes as opposed
7178s	to four I believe it was before uh it
7182s	definitely is a very nice change that
7183s	they made gives you the time that if you
7186s	want to take the immediate fight
7187s	initially you can and then you can you
7190s	have enough time to get a full reset if
7191s	you don't die and if you don't if you
7193s	don't get a soul Bloom you can get a
7195s	full reset and potentially get a second
7197s	alt off in within that time or what you
7200s	can do is also simply wait out the timer
7202s	on the Buffs of the players who did wi
7205s	win the realm of Yang and look to try
7206s	and take a fight once they've expired
7209s	looks as though Alliance Frost of us is
7211s	doing some optimal Bush gaming right now
7215s	recognizing that this is the Yang
7217s	depletion situation timing that people
7220s	are going to be out and about with that
7222s	yang depletion desperately looking for
7224s	some soul blooms and getting extremely
7227s	aggressive In This Moment In Time and
7230s	speaking of verse is uh is the subject
7234s	of that aggression at the moment
7236s	T225 lurking around te star d g Fong GG
7242s	sha ss1 Pace action for everyone is here
7246s	everyone wait actually one two three
7248s	four damn it God damn it the the camera
7250s	moved I can't count anymore
7253s	but there's a lot of people here that's
7254s	all you're going to know all luring
7256s	around this Tower verse thankfully
7259s	though he did have a a dagger in the
7262s	back pocket and the tower to work with
7264s	now if you're ever in a bit of a dire
7267s	spot in your solos or even in team modes
7270s	and you need to try and run away you
7272s	need to try and kite away from players
7274s	who are chasing you staying on these
7277s	towers is an extremely good uh extremely
7280s	good place to kite around as it's very
7282s	very very hard to lock you down however
7284s	once it gets to a point where there are
7286s	a lot of players around the tower
7287s	Chasing You The Avenues of Escape become
7291s	fewer and fewer and harder to find so I
7294s	believe that that's why verse opted to
7296s	disengage and try and uh find somewhere
7299s	else to to kite around but it looks as
7301s	though he might be getting spotted out
7303s	here Fong is just went into the room
7305s	that he was hiding in but we're moving
7309s	back on over to the tower ss1 pace and
7311s	te star scrapping it out here the golden
7314s	fist blade wielders of the lobby star
7318s	swapping over to the blue fan using it
7319s	for the scale Rush optimal optimal
7322s	unfortunately verse he wasn't able to
7324s	hide long enough he wasn't able to to
7326s	stay inconspicuous and does get spotted
7329s	out and does get taken down in the
7331s	meantime unfortunately for T25 he wasn't
7333s	the one who took him down neither was he
7335s	the one who took who grabbed that Soul
7336s	Bloom it seems he does take down chuang
7340s	out of nowhere but again not able to get
7342s	the soul Bloom and now he's 1 HP he's
7345s	got 1 second left the storm's going to
7347s	be doing damage and it's just oh it
7349s	doesn't even matter the cleave comes
7351s	through from Di's Fong and takes him
7355s	down oh that's so unfortunate for T225
7358s	there man he put in so much work there
7360s	just wasn't able to H his hand on the
7362s	soul Bloom yeah four kills absolutely
7364s	huge for him still going to be a good
7365s	game for T225 though as he does get
7367s	eliminated in seventh here he's going to
7369s	get himself at least uh you know four or
7372s	five points up on the board and that's
7374s	massive that's a good consistency game
7376s	for player like T225 especially
7378s	considering he's already up in eighth
7380s	he's basically already in that qualifier
7382s	range you need about 30 to 35 points to
7384s	guarantee that you qualify and he's
7386s	sitting right there on the edge of it I
7388s	think T225 is going to be pretty happy
7390s	with how this game plays out but we are
7392s	over to grg's Fong here we are down to
7394s	six players left remaining in the lobby
7396s	we're going to have zone four starting
7397s	to collapse on zone five here in the
7398s	next 45 seconds as our first late game
7401s	Bain's breath does come through here you
7403s	know a lot of arguments back and forth
7406s	about uh whether these Baines breath add
7409s	anything to our sort of play here for a
7412s	mortal War but I I I I I think we've
7416s	seen both sides of it right we have seen
7418s	these Ban's breath absolutely end
7420s	people's games but we've also seen
7421s	people in Pro playay utilize them to
7423s	absolutely save their games we had a
7424s	player uh I do believe it was Chu Jang
7426s	one game he was down he had like four
7428s	kills under his belt and then uh he's
7430s	just getting picked off by the entire
7432s	Lobby he's able to Surf that Bane get
7434s	away from it get a full reset and then
7436s	he comes back and he drops like a seven
7438s	kill game and first place because of it
7440s	if the Bane wasn't there there's just no
7441s	way that happens it it's rare but it
7444s	does happen where the Bane can actually
7445s	work out in the favor of players uh and
7447s	you do have decisions to make around it
7449s	as well right you have that Bane coming
7451s	in at the start of zone four and the
7452s	start of zone five you can't really like
7455s	you can commit to a fight but you have
7456s	to know committing to that fight that
7458s	that Bane may be dropping on your head
7460s	so you've got to play around that and
7462s	you either need to kill somebody very
7463s	very quickly or you need to accept hey I
7466s	can't overcommit to this I need to back
7468s	away but speaking of committing star
7469s	commits to The Spirit Well here he's
7471s	going to have an extra legendary armor
7473s	in the back pocket here to fall back
7475s	onto that nobody else can pick up it
7477s	also means he gets that white tiger
7478s	prowess and the reset and he's got some
7481s	extra goodies here so star needs to play
7483s	around this area and it looks like that
7485s	well smack dab in the middle of where
7487s	the next Zone's going to go so he's
7488s	going to have that gold armor to fall
7490s	back onto for quite a minute Duncan he
7493s	is indeed and yeah I that that that
7497s	reference to Moon Bane was a is a is a
7499s	reference to a conversation that you and
7501s	I had alongside Derby and marxy when we
7504s	were over in China in that in my hotel
7507s	room we're having a talk about Moon Bane
7510s	and about the the the whether or not it
7513s	was a necessarily a good or a bad thing
7516s	in general now I do think that's a as as
7519s	not all that much action is taking place
7521s	we can probably bring that up and have
7522s	that conversation as I so I was of the
7525s	opinion that in general Moon Bane it
7528s	it's it's it it can be a catalyst for
7531s	action but typically as we've seen a lot
7533s	in the past it is also somewhat of a of
7536s	the opposite you know it prevents action
7538s	from taking place a lot of the time as
7541s	unless someone gets directly griefed by
7543s	the moon Bane they're not necessar like
7545s	the like exactly what's just happening
7547s	right now Fong is eating moon Bane hits
7550s	and now he's become the target which
7552s	sucks for fun you know this really sucks
7555s	for him it's not fun and look GG sha
7558s	getting a bit
7560s	greedy okay jokes on you bro you're not
7563s	getting Fong bro you're going down and
7565s	now fog is eating another Moon Bane hit
7567s	and but he's on the other side and Xin
7569s	doesn't want to run through it he's
7570s	going to try but he might be in a bit of
7572s	a dangerous position you know and this
7574s	is just it's just a feels bad if Fong
7577s	had got unlucky there and he'd been the
7579s	one that got taken down and and G
7582s	hadn't gotten hit by that Moon Bane it
7584s	was pure RNG in that situation as to
7586s	whether or not it was going to come down
7588s	and actually and actually just ruin his
7591s	game I think he plays it really well
7593s	though honestly
7594s	because yeah he he gets forced into the
7597s	Bane actually because he goes really low
7599s	he had already kind of become the target
7600s	of the lobby but knowing you're playing
7602s	kylin and you have that ultimate where
7604s	you can't die during the duration of it
7606s	you can actually risk going into the
7608s	Bane and utilize it to your advantage
7610s	and that's exactly what happens he and
7612s	the other player both get hit out but
7614s	because he's in that ultimate it leaves
7615s	him in such a good place and he's
7617s	immediately just able to turn that
7618s	ultimate around turn it into a kill and
7620s	look he's turned the entire game around
7621s	for himself he picks up his fourth
7623s	elimination he's able to move to the
7625s	other side of the Bane where the other
7626s	players are not willing to risk it and
7628s	get a reset off of it this is one of
7629s	those rare occasions where the Bane can
7631s	actually be utilized to good Advantage
7633s	here we go this is the exact moment
7634s	we're talking about here star trying to
7636s	come in goes really low do die wait does
7640s	he actually oh he does die on top top of
7642s	it as well oh my goodness and this is
7644s	the risk you take STAR takes the risk to
7646s	go in Star it does not pay off for him
7650s	it's not always that we see it typically
7652s	what we do see is like you talked about
7654s	it it ends up being a catalyst for not
7655s	fights right because the players know
7657s	that they do have to play around those
7658s	bands coming in but when you get moments
7660s	like this I I enjoy seeing these moments
7663s	right because there's a lot of risk
7664s	reward bong goes in takes the big risk
7667s	to go into the Bane it pays off for him
7669s	but likewise we get to see the flip side
7670s	of that where star go goes in and none
7673s	of the risk pays off for him so it is it
7676s	is the duality of man it's the duality
7678s	of nraa sometimes you risk it all and
7680s	sometimes you come out on top other
7682s	times you get sent back to the lobby
7684s	yeah exactly the thing is so so let's
7687s	say for drg's f if he had because he got
7690s	hit by the moon Bane and that's what
7691s	made him a Target initially and he gets
7693s	engaged on and forced to go into the
7695s	moon Bane further now if Gigi star and
7699s	and I I can't remember who else it was
7702s	um um if Giga and star had had simply
7708s	just played a little bit safer you know
7711s	they they know that he's forced into the
7713s	moon Bean they know he's kind of screwed
7715s	and that he's forced to use his ultimate
7717s	they could have simply just waited a
7719s	little bit longer not opted to go in and
7722s	held him within the moon Bane in a
7724s	situation where he couldn't really do
7726s	anything and now and they greeted this
7729s	was more I feel like up to a bit of a
7732s	mistake and an unnecessary risk on their
7735s	part which resulted in them going down
7737s	as Fong obviously he was able to go into
7739s	that and know he can survive as long as
7741s	he uses ultimate once that expires he's
7744s	going to be put in a situation where his
7746s	alt is down and he's going to get
7748s	lobbied and his the initial the initial
7751s	thing that forced him into that
7752s	situation wasn't necessarily something
7755s	that was up to a mistake from him
7756s	perhaps he stepped the foot at the edge
7758s	of the Moon Bane and got clipped yeah
7760s	well it was it was fun who sent him into
7762s	the Bane Fong actually ripped his armor
7764s	off before he ever stepped foot uh in
7766s	the Bane he went into the Bane to avoid
7768s	being chased by the rest of the lobby
7770s	there he actually doesn't pop ult until
7772s	Shaw comes in as well so I think if Shaw
7775s	doesn't uh force him there because he's
7777s	surfing the Bane and set himself to the
7779s	other side of the lobby he just gets a
7780s	free reset so I think Shaw took the risk
7784s	and uh it didn't pay off for him there
7786s	cuz otherwise he just gets to walk to
7788s	the other side reset G Fong was the one
7790s	who initially was getting changed sha
7792s	was the one chasing
7794s	him was the one who got hit by the moon
7796s	Bane and then and then got chased into
7798s	the moon Bane by Sha Sha took an
7801s	aggressive an aggressive line and then
7804s	it didn't pay off because he he got hit
7806s	by the moon which was greedy I agree
7808s	with that well somebody forced Fong into
7811s	the Bane first is what I'm saying like
7812s	he actually didn't get hit with the Bane
7814s	originally he was half armor when he
7815s	stepped into the Bane he was already
7817s	being chased uh and then Shaw further
7819s	chased but we are on End Zone here we
7821s	can talk about Bane all day but right
7823s	now is in a good position P here taking
7827s	quite a bit of damage there from that
7828s	Hong sword will find a little bit of a
7829s	reset behind that tree actually players
7832s	missing an opportunity to go in
7834s	aggressive but you've got to be very
7835s	careful Hong down here with that hang
7836s	sword with that legendary Soul Jade in a
7838s	really good position because it's all
7840s	closing vertical and once they come off
7842s	that wall if he can stay on the bottom
7843s	here he's in such a phenomenal place he
7845s	can evict him from the top of the wall
7847s	as well Fong really going to put in work
7849s	here with that Soul Jade there's not a
7851s	lot players can do either if they come
7853s	up or down into it it is a bad day for
7856s	them look at this and it's closing
7857s	perfectly on him Fong just did such a
7860s	great place to capitalize he's going to
7861s	catch out Pace here he gets a free
7862s	elimination on that one as well and now
7865s	ation can't really do anything the ult
7867s	coming through from F going to give him
7869s	the opportunity to stay alive he's just
7870s	got to catch on to action keep the heals
7872s	from coming through he's able to avoid
7873s	all of that ultimate as well and there
7876s	it is ladies and gentlemen it will come
7877s	down to a two-way tie in the end but I
7879s	do believe drg Fong with the elimination
7882s	he packs away here is going to come out
7883s	on top he is indeed Fong bringing it in
7889s	from the depths there it was uh it was
7892s	looking a bit looking a bit spicy for
7895s	him but with that whole Moon Bane
7896s	situation he does come out on top and uh
7900s	he just he he ends up dominating the
7901s	lobby partially because of just the the
7903s	positioning that he chooses to take and
7905s	then that the um Aurora burst doing so
7908s	much work for him the terrain able to
7911s	secure that that spot right at the top
7913s	of that that that small Cliff we can as
7916s	we saw froster getting caught at the
7918s	bottom of it unfortunately not able to
7920s	get it get up the cliff The Buttery
7922s	rocks not able to get up there
7924s	unfortunately being held down there at
7926s	the bottom he did heal a little bit
7928s	perhaps he could have made it up but
7929s	unfortunately the Aurora bust was
7931s	waiting for him so he likely would have
7933s	gone down regardless but this another
7936s	thing to note look at look at look at
7938s	this this sportsmanship they're all just
7940s	hanging out having a good time am
7941s	chatting Smiles on their faces pats on
7944s	the back that's what I love to see in
7947s	nraa something that we don't see in all
7949s	that many Esports either you know a lot
7952s	of Esports is a lot of beef you know
7954s	just players shouting at each other from
7956s	across the
7959s	say coach is getting involved as well
7962s	but in Nora nah we're all vibing we're
7964s	all chilling there's a lot of spe
7966s	between players which I really really
7967s	like yeah I mean the camaraderie between
7969s	the players here it's it's something
7971s	very special about nraa at the end of
7973s	the day the these guys have a lot of
7975s	respect for each other and they're all
7977s	friends outside of the competition in
7979s	game all bets are off out of game we're
7981s	all going to be good buddies here and uh
7983s	quick question for you guys what hero
7984s	did K T25 using game number two is it a
7986s	tea B AOS C hottie or D uan make sure
7991s	you can lock your answers in for a
7992s	chance to walk away with one of those
7994s	sumers split random gift boxes you don't
7996s	want to miss out on all of those goodies
7998s	but man what a game this was you know
8000s	this was this was a perfect opportunity
8002s	I love when we start to talk about
8003s	something you know we start talking
8004s	about the moon bands and then
8005s	immediately the game just shifts in that
8007s	direction for us so we have the perfect
8009s	opportunity to talk about it yeah
8011s	exactly right and this was this was a
8013s	really interesting situation because we
8015s	we see the duality of those Moon Banes
8018s	coming through right the moon Bane
8020s	legitimately saves the game for Fong
8022s	here Fong is able to walk away with the
8023s	MVP because of it because of the way he
8025s	plays it because of the way everybody
8027s	else plays it and then you have te star
8029s	who goes in to greet it and
8031s	unfortunately his greed gets the best of
8034s	him here he cuts across that Moon Bane
8035s	he gets caught out by one goes to stand
8038s	up gets caught out by double again and
8039s	then just immediately goes down and
8042s	sometimes that's the way it plays it's a
8043s	highrisk high reward Shaw has the same
8045s	thing happen right he sees our boy Fong
8047s	break away Fong hasn't used the ultimate
8049s	yet and he's like n I'm not letting you
8051s	get away for free that is not happening
8054s	you're not going to cut to the other
8055s	side of this Moon Bane and just take a
8056s	free reset and have your ult for end
8058s	game and he immediately regrets that
8061s	decis
8062s	as he walks into a bane with Fong both
8064s	of them get hits Fong stands back up
8066s	Pops the ult both of them repositioned
8068s	get hit by the same Bane again and then
8070s	Fong just turns around hits him with the
8072s	ultimate cleans up the elimination and
8074s	because of that we're going to see Fong
8075s	here taking the lead here with five
8077s	eliminations he gets two ranking points
8079s	as well unfortunately no multiplier
8081s	because he does tie for first place uh
8084s	with baz's action there so he will only
8087s	be walking away with a game score of
8089s	seven but still a very resp respectable
8091s	game for drg f K's T25 another good game
8094s	yes he does go out with four
8096s	eliminations and he goes out in seventh
8097s	place but he takes second place overall
8100s	again this like I said very good very
8102s	consistent game for him SS one's paced
8104s	here will pick up three eliminations and
8106s	he will also get those 1.5 ranking
8108s	points to tie things up with K's 2225
8110s	for a game score of 4.5 and te star uh
8114s	who found himself being ended there by
8116s	the moon Bane still puts up four points
8119s	very good consistency game for him as we
8121s	go to take a look at the leaderboard
8122s	here wangyang will drop back down one
8125s	position still a big wall for him to
8126s	climb past climbing two positions though
8128s	moving up into 15th getting closer and
8130s	closer to being able to qualify
8132s	alliances Frost ofis here still a pretty
8135s	big wall to climb here he needs to find
8137s	himself a really good game but he plays
8139s	very well this game as well as we cut
8141s	back here B action climbing up now
8144s	making it into this qualifying range is
8146s	at that 23.5 just barely skirting into
8150s	the top 12 he needs to continue to play
8152s	consistent today if he wants to maintain
8154s	that qualifying position C star with a
8156s	7.5 for his first two games today
8159s	27.3 pretty happy with her is KLA T25
8162s	climbing another position as well as we
8164s	cut back we're going to see drg's Fong
8166s	moving up into that fourth place
8169s	position over jil's AIS here with a
8171s	total of 40 points on the board so far
8174s	still four games left to go indeed and
8177s	and something I did want to talk about
8179s	is that something that we that I I
8181s	talked to Raven and frost of us about
8183s	was that it it's it's because of the
8186s	rule changes it's a mental adjustment
8189s	that needs to be made where you have to
8192s	look at a you know a a two kill game a
8195s	three kill game as a good game you know
8199s	Five Points a fivepoint game is a good
8202s	game now because of the rule changes you
8205s	know it's the the time of when getting a
8209s	get like getting a 10-point game was a
8210s	bit more normal and a bit more you know
8213s	regular is over at this point as now
8217s	because of the the rule changes as only
8219s	the first place player with in the lobby
8222s	the one who lasts until the very very
8224s	end the last man standing is going to be
8226s	getting those uh those multiplier points
8230s	it's it just becomes you know like you
8232s	can't really expect to be getting all
8235s	that many and it's a mental adjustment
8237s	in that you have to be okay with getting
8241s	those points or getting that that many
8243s	points as you you know if you've been
8246s	playing for a long time mentally
8248s	speaking if you see that you got five
8250s	points in the game it's going to be oh
8252s	you know Five Points it doesn't feel
8253s	like much you you don't feel so good
8255s	about it but then in reality that's
8258s	actually a really really solid game
8260s	that's a solid game for you and as as we
8262s	see the total scoreboards you know
8264s	spider currently sitting at the very top
8267s	with 55 that's kind of a crazy score
8271s	line for him and uh you know but you
8273s	know players in fifth sixth you know
8276s	they're currently sitting on a 30 to 40
8278s	that sort of thing and if you think
8280s	about it each series is six games so if
8283s	you were to get let's say you get five
8285s	five points in every single game five
8288s	points every single game six games
8291s	that's what 30
8292s	points you know and then that's only one
8296s	series oh wait am I am is my mats right
8299s	no I can't remember oh my God never do
8302s	mats on stream CH never do mats on
8305s	stream but we're going to take a look
8306s	here de's f with the seventh MVP of the
8308s	Season 15,000 damage five eliminations
8311s	most of that damage coming in from the
8312s	Hong swword that Aurora burst sa uh the
8315s	sap Soul Jade V's grip calary Bloom and
8318s	Alchemy I mean Aurora burst really in
8320s	the end absolutely clutched it out for
8322s	him there he's on the side of the wall
8324s	in the perfect position he's literally
8325s	gatekeeping every player below him and
8327s	every player above him for free and when
8330s	he connects not not only does it do a
8332s	ton of damage coming off that legendary
8333s	Hong swword but it also casts that
8334s	silence onto him as well and leaves him
8336s	in a bad position for those final Zone
8339s	moment so it really comes in clutch
8341s	locks that game down and guarantees it
8343s	for him there so really congratulations
8346s	drg Fong because that was a well fought
8348s	game things could have went very poorly
8350s	for him but thinking speaking of things
8353s	going poorly unfortunately we are going
8354s	to take a short break before we come
8355s	back and lock in for game number three
8356s	which promises to be a banger so don't
8358s	go anywhere
8363s	[Music]
8410s	[Music]
8417s	[Music]
8427s	[Music]
8434s	[Music]
8443s	[Applause]
8448s	[Music]
8459s	[Music]
8459s	[Applause]
8467s	[Music]
8474s	hello and we are back ladies and
8476s	gentlemen and uh yeah don't do maths on
8479s	cast however yeah that anxiety of having
8482s	done the mental maths has subsided 6 * 5
8486s	is 30 and uh if you get six if you get
8491s	six fivepoint games in one series and
8493s	then get another six fivepoint games in
8495s	the next series that's 60 points that's
8497s	more than spider has right now you know
8500s	five points per game that's very very
8503s	solid but hey it's a competitive
8506s	environment it's nvpl solos it's not
8509s	easy to be getting f points per game and
8513s	uh as we've seen the players lurking on
8515s	the uh on the lower end of the
8517s	leaderboard have certainly been uh you
8519s	know struggling to find their footing
8521s	but it's not like they can't do it it
8523s	sometimes it's just like it's mental
8525s	it's character pick it's map it's you
8528s	know we are playing Battle Royale there
8529s	is an element of RNG in what you get
8532s	early on in the you know you choose a
8534s	square on the map you know there's still
8537s	a decent amount of space within that
8540s	square that you can drop you know you
8542s	get a good spawn within a square and a
8543s	bad spawn within a square perhaps so it
8546s	is there is always an element of that
8548s	but it is what it is it's the game we
8550s	play and speaking of Nora blade point
8554s	we're going to be going into our third
8555s	game very shortly and we're going to be
8557s	heading on over to moris Isle daytime
8561s	the OG map the original map that we all
8565s	know and love and I'm thinking I'm I
8570s	know was just uh thinking about what
8572s	we're going to be seeing in terms of
8573s	character picks I think well considering
8577s	the performance that we saw come out
8579s	from Mike on that zipping would it be uh
8582s	would it be odd to assume that perhaps
8584s	we'll see a couple zipping on this
8586s	daytime Mor game uh it'll be interesting
8589s	I think zipping definitely could serve
8591s	well on morile here especially if Liam
8593s	continues to be that priority pick that
8596s	players are looking to lock in and they
8598s	play around the Liam the same way Mike
8600s	did uh in our game number one uh
8602s	realistically though I think zipping
8604s	typically more favored on those uh
8607s	Hollow Roth Maps right I I think there's
8608s	still a little bit of favoritism there
8610s	from back in the day where it was like
8611s	oh we're going Hollow Roth well we're
8613s	locking in 16 ziings uh for some of
8616s	players that have brown for a hot
8618s	minute you say that however I think that
8621s	that's almost it's it might be more of a
8624s	moris angle as not only has zipping been
8628s	popular on hollo but ever since the the
8631s	addition of Hardy hardi is now a lot
8633s	more popular and Hardy with his V2 chat
8637s	if you'll remember has built in fire
8640s	damage meaning that it inherently
8642s	counters zipping healing making it
8644s	harder for her to get things done in
8647s	those engagements at times so perhaps
8650s	perhaps it's a perhaps a moris angle
8652s	however another character that is pretty
8655s	popular on morile is also Tessa Tessa
8659s	being a character that we've seen
8661s	come in and out of the solo meta but uh
8665s	as we expected Liam is going to be P
8667s	getting picked up here off the rip Frost
8670s	ofus and action are going to be picking
8672s	it up Mike are be seeing zipping surely
8674s	not double double pick zipping yeah no
8677s	we're seeing the kin also another thing
8679s	zipping although it's I mean you said we
8682s	talked about how it's relatively good
8684s	into Liam it is also relatively good
8686s	into kylin now that I think about it
8687s	considering that kylin although he can
8691s	just Loop and juggle people with his
8693s	ultimate and be an absolute Menace with
8697s	his old zipping if she's able to use her
8701s	healing and use her ultimate so that
8704s	it's consistently ticking during that
8707s	time no fire damage it's going to be
8710s	pretty difficult for the kyin to
8712s	actually burst down zipping during that
8715s	ultimate situation and then as soon as
8717s	she gets up she also has that extra
8718s	Dodge the extra bit of stamina with her
8721s	F ability so I think perhaps zipping
8724s	might be getting his slep on a tiny bit
8726s	but in we are in fact not going to be
8729s	seeing any zipping getting picked up
8731s	here in this moris isle game in fact
8733s	we're going to be seeing double Justina
8735s	coming out from T25 and sha uh and then
8739s	Fong and star are going to be picking up
8741s	the Matari we have a couple kylin a
8744s	couple Hardies and we do see one Tessa
8748s	there I'm not sure if I think it was
8749s	only the one Tessa correct
8751s	I'm not sure it's we've got one Tesla on
8753s	the board we have three Matari coming in
8756s	and this is uh I like Matari onto this
8759s	particular map to be fair a lot of
8761s	people before matar's rework this was
8763s	the map everybody was playing Matari on
8765s	anyway um but she just brings a lot of
8768s	pressure into solos I think she's a good
8770s	pick all around the Tessa is something
8772s	I've really not
8773s	been fond of this season we haven't seen
8776s	too many people pick up Tessa and
8778s	Tessa's performance has been really poor
8780s	in every single game uh that she's been
8782s	picked up in she used to be an absolute
8784s	Menace right uh having those two old
8787s	activations than being at 50% of course
8789s	those have been nerfed now you've got to
8791s	be at to 65% to get that old activation
8793s	out is it 60 I thought it was 65 I
8796s	apologize um but still you know her
8798s	being nerfed twice where it's been
8799s	updated cuz it went to like 55 and then
8801s	it went to 60 now uh it does make it a
8803s	little harder for her to get those ult
8805s	activations out and then on top of that
8807s	players have adjusted to being able to
8810s	play around test old the timing to be
8812s	able to actually iframe Dodge out of it
8815s	is so so generous it is very easy for
8819s	players of this skill level just to be
8821s	able to avoid it and even if they do get
8823s	caught out most of the time it just ends
8825s	up being a nuisance you see players
8827s	either very easily able to get down and
8830s	break away from it or send themselves
8833s	vertical so that when they do get
8834s	Charmed they spend most of that time
8836s	Airborne where they're just not able to
8838s	be comboed out onto so the test is
8840s	really just not getting a lot of that
8842s	ultimate in general yeah no absolutely
8845s	you're absolutely right Tessa is the
8847s	kind of character that it's it's hard to
8850s	to get that alt activation onto a player
8853s	especially of this caliber as it is
8856s	somewhat is pretty easy to dodge you
8858s	know if you're throwing it out in
8860s	neutral without anything to secure it
8862s	it's very it's very difficult to land
8865s	however you can always uh if you manage
8867s	to G win the initial neutral engagement
8869s	and you catch the you catch the combo
8872s	during that combo instead of finishing
8874s	it off with the typical combo Ender you
8876s	can throw your Tessa ultimate out and uh
8879s	and get that confirmation through the
8881s	combo essentially another uh one of the
8884s	best ways to get that another thing
8886s	though that I would like to know is that
8887s	when we're looking at character picks
8889s	right character picks they're not always
8892s	just because I want to play this
8894s	character or it's it caters to certain
8896s	play Styles and game plans within the
8898s	game similarly to how tree functions
8901s	Trio compositions have objectives so do
8904s	solo characters now Tessa being if we're
8907s	talking about Tessa Tessa works very
8909s	well in the third party similarly to how
8912s	well she does in trios with her with
8914s	Viper wuen and it works very well and
8917s	you can look to try and play the third
8920s	party game so to speak as Tessa in these
8924s	in this solo game in these solo games
8926s	and uh have quite a lot of success with
8928s	it as I mean we've seen it not do well
8931s	in the past as you said but we I do
8933s	believe we've seen it do relatively well
8934s	at times as well unfortunately Alliance
8937s	Frost ofus is not doing very well in
8939s	this initial fight going up against fist
8941s	blades with a long sword it's not where
8943s	you want to be and he does get taken
8945s	down off the rip we're going to be
8947s	moving over to ss1 Pac chuang and exin
8951s	all waiting to fight yeah you know you
8954s	talk about the objectives of playing
8956s	Tessa as well I think this is the
8957s	appropriate match to pick it up in as we
8959s	cut over to B action here and Chang
8961s	trading blows action here with the Hong
8963s	sword and this is one of those other
8965s	favorite weapons as well is going to be
8967s	those dual hiys right just because of
8969s	the the range on it sometimes it can be
8971s	very hard to read the exact range of the
8973s	R&B there on those hiys so you can
8975s	create a lot of space and players really
8977s	have to work to play around that spacing
8980s	or they can get caught out pretty easy
8981s	but this Hong sword right now absolutely
8983s	tearing through Chang Chang with the
8984s	armor swap into the white as SS one's
8986s	Pace continues to keep the pressure
8988s	going here chujang up the wall as he
8990s	continues to be grappled onto here and
8993s	paced plenty of these grapples he can
8994s	keep this Chase up all day CH Jang going
8996s	to get grappled out here unfortunately
8999s	for him Pac in there with the dash
9001s	through going to get quite a bit of
9002s	damage onto him chujang though going to
9004s	find another armor swap again Chu Jang
9007s	here he just knows where all these
9009s	armors are down playing like he's ug's
9011s	mic right now with the consistent armor
9014s	swap back to back here exen and of
9016s	course verse keeping the pressure up
9018s	though and now we're going to see
9020s	another player show up as well now it's
9022s	three players action getting grappled
9024s	onto here and going to take a little bit
9026s	of damage this might be what chuang
9028s	needs to find his way back into this
9030s	game here as these players start to
9031s	trade blows onto each other juu Jang
9033s	looking less and less juicy vers
9036s	deciding he's going to break away from
9037s	this he doesn't want to continue to
9039s	commit resources to this Chase now that
9041s	we see Chu Jang back to full HP full
9043s	armor we're going to see a no old Zone
9045s	being popped over here by OG's M K 225
9048s	might going to get cut in half here by
9049s	the big p swords swing from tt25 tt25
9052s	trying to stop Fang from getting outside
9054s	of the new old Zone tt25 going to come
9056s	up as well needs to be careful down on
9059s	that white armor he's looking up pretty
9060s	juicy Shaw going to come in tt25 going
9062s	to turn that away at the last second so
9064s	Shaw does not get the Parry off but tt25
9066s	still going to be taking a lot of damage
9068s	here as both Fong and Shaw continue to
9070s	keep the pressure up T225 down below
9072s	finds an armor swap will start to get a
9074s	reset going for himself here as Fong
9077s	turns his attention to G
9079s	Sha indeed it's nraa armor swap point
9082s	right now so we're seeing armor swaps
9085s	back and forth on all of these players
9087s	GG sha in that ultimate does find the
9089s	freeze onto T25 but unfortunately lands
9091s	on his head and it simply isn't able to
9094s	capitalize off of the freeze now does
9096s	freeze up both of these players is
9098s	immediately forced to try and grapple
9100s	away and look for the exit no armor swap
9103s	in here unfortunately for you my friend
9105s	and GG sha is going to be taken down
9107s	drg's F now turning his attention over
9109s	to T25 he's got that Marshall hexa
9112s	Harmony spear Jade that just
9115s	goes sends a message over ttt5 T225 but
9119s	T225 he is not afraid he's still
9121s	aggressing he catches him on the terrain
9124s	unfortunately the terrain though does in
9126s	fact prevent him from getting the full
9127s	combo Fong now on that Matari excuse me
9131s	is going to be dashing up to the top of
9134s	this uh of this uh structure I'm not
9138s	sure what you'd really call this it's
9139s	like a
9140s	I don't really know but a tower of of
9143s	sorts uh and does manage to break line
9145s	of sight and break the aggression of
9147s	2225 who was forced to go and grab
9150s	himself that blue armor heal it up but
9153s	drg Fong having now accumulated quite a
9156s	lot of his ultimate charge is going to
9158s	be looking to get back in there get ugly
9161s	and try and catch this fight onto T25
9163s	but T25 he's ready for it he's got that
9165s	big damage combo coming out from that
9168s	long sword into the swap with the P
9170s	sword catching him but it's not going to
9171s	matter drg's Fong has that Ultimate Off
9175s	cool down he has it ready to go and as
9177s	you can see hey you know ultimate for
9179s	you you know it's pretty hard for you to
9181s	win and drg's Fong sends a message
9184s	taking it three kills for himself off of
9187s	this early early part of the game a very
9190s	good start for this player but speaking
9193s	of frost of us who unfortunately did not
9196s	have the best start at the beginning of
9198s	this game now managed to recover found
9200s	him self a blue armor and some blue fist
9201s	blades but he's up against the mirror
9203s	match up Xin also pretty much exactly
9206s	the same load out he is taking quite a
9208s	bit of damage forced to use that
9209s	ultimate having lost his armor now found
9212s	a moment to heal it back on up but uh
9216s	we're going to be seeing the full
9217s	disengage action not interested in
9219s	chasing it down the real of Yang is
9220s	going to be spawning in soon he's
9222s	turning his sights over to that Rune
9224s	real of Yang is the name of the game yes
9228s	is especially in these lobbies you
9229s	really need to be able to scale into the
9232s	L game and taking that first Yang is so
9234s	important for these players to really be
9237s	able to scale up and start to find those
9239s	eliminations in the mid game especially
9241s	these Matari players as well having that
9243s	extra weapon that extra damage behind
9246s	being able to connect onto people with
9247s	your ultimate is so huge for so many of
9249s	these players wolves wangang speaking of
9251s	which in a really good place he's scaled
9253s	uh pretty well here with that purple
9254s	armor purple pole sword here as well
9256s	looking ah head in the realm of Yang
9258s	here on kyin we're going to take a look
9260s	back at the replay between an early
9262s	fight between wangang and te star here
9264s	star coming in there trying to find that
9265s	uppercut into the weapon swap but W's
9267s	going to use that F to take control of
9268s	it massive Parry into the dragons Rush
9270s	nees might there's basically nothing
9273s	star can do to get away from that and
9275s	wolves cleans up that early elimination
9277s	because of that he finds himself some
9279s	purple armor he gets that purple pole
9280s	sword as well sets him up for success as
9283s	we had into these first GS we've got
9285s	drg's Fong training blows with past here
9287s	fong in a little bit of a bad situation
9290s	here given how well his early game went
9293s	and Pace now trying to give Chase here
9294s	Fong though wants to turn it and play
9296s	aggressive I think this is smart you
9298s	need to be really aggressive here with
9300s	that Matari ultimate there we go the
9301s	teleport again no way and this is
9304s	something I say all the time I don't
9306s	think using Matari F and ultimate
9309s	defensively is ever a good idea I think
9311s	if you're in that situation you have
9313s	such ability to take control of the
9314s	neutral you need to just be aggressive
9317s	yes you're low yes the risk is very high
9320s	but I think you have a better chance of
9321s	surviving by either turning the
9323s	attention onto another player or in that
9325s	situation just taking the fight and
9326s	winning it outright as we head over to
9328s	around M Yang it's Frost ofus versus
9330s	wolves
9331s	wangang indeed it is let's see it frost
9334s	ofus taking a lot of damage off the rip
9337s	wangyang taking the initiative and using
9339s	his ultimate first using it early Frost
9341s	ofers responding in kind now trying to
9344s	play Ring Around the Rosie on this
9346s	pillar tap Dodge rolling around
9348s	unfortunately Wang does catch him doing
9351s	a chunk of damage and he's not able to
9354s	finish the heal around the pillar
9356s	wangang is going to find the elimination
9358s	onto Frost ofs and frost is going to be
9360s	afflicted with that Yang depletion we're
9361s	going to have to see if he can recover
9364s	moving forwards but here in the other
9366s	realm of Yang that we have going on te
9369s	star up against chuang chuang with the
9371s	bandoro goes to the ground with the jump
9373s	R&B te star finding that entry with the
9376s	scale Rush he's chasing him down Chang
9378s	has no armor now star just just sending
9381s	out all these hits left and right it's
9384s	so hard to disengage it's so hard to
9386s	find a way to not get hit in this
9389s	situation star Now using that ultimate
9391s	as well having uh having you know push
9394s	trying to push the aggression here push
9396s	the issue chuang is in a bad spot he's
9398s	taken quite a lot of damage not very
9400s	much orange armor left on this Hardy
9402s	ultimate and star makes it look easy
9405s	with the fist blades just oh my goodness
9409s	a fist blades if it's it I don't it's
9412s	it's such a cool weapon it is pretty
9415s	pretty damn strong but you know like
9417s	it's you can the cool thing about it is
9419s	that you can just do you just do Builder
9421s	bear combos you just just like L like
9424s	I'm going a press crouching get be now
9426s	and RB and a jmb and whatever you know
9428s	you just like just throw whatever in
9430s	there and usually it works and it just
9432s	looks so cool at the same time looks so
9435s	so cool it's very interesting fist
9437s	blades kind of break some of the core
9439s	mechan mechanics just a little bit with
9441s	being able to tap Dodge and maintain
9443s	that blue charge state but it does mix
9445s	things up it makes it quite interesting
9447s	as well I think it has one of the best
9448s	scale rushes in the game as well there
9450s	you see because of that scale Rush he's
9452s	actually able to dck the hottie and then
9454s	just follow it up with a a jumping super
9456s	fast scale Rush yet again to get the
9458s	elimination out of it and you love to
9461s	see that kind of change up because some
9463s	of the weapons have gotten pretty stale
9466s	uh over time and we see them kind of
9468s	being edged out by their counterparts
9469s	like almost always see fan over dagger
9471s	now nobody's running dagger unless they
9473s	have dagger specific Soul Jades right um
9476s	so it's a nice change of pace to see
9478s	those come in and really find their own
9480s	space and again I like the fact that
9482s	they're a very strong early game weapon
9484s	and then once you find some Jades and
9485s	stuff you kind of start to gravitate
9486s	towards other weapons you know unless
9488s	you find a legendary pair of fist blades
9490s	in which case you're rocking the
9491s	legendary pair of fist blades but still
9494s	I think overall a nice change for the
9495s	game speaking of a nice change of pace
9497s	though JD Shu Jang here giving Chase to
9499s	G Sha Sha trying to keep things alive
9503s	for himself here no eliminations just
9505s	doesn't want to take this fight as we
9507s	pass over to te star now and 's M Star
9510s	there with that Vermillion Birds might
9511s	wants to make the most of it wants to
9513s	find another elimination for himself
9514s	he's decided he's not going to chase mik
9516s	he's going to head back towards where
9517s	all these other players are going to be
9518s	gathering we're going to see that second
9520s	set of yangs getting ready to come
9521s	through here as zone two collapses all
9523s	the way down onto zone three Jean Yuan
9526s	treeside here vers down below drg Fong
9528s	also down below low here verse going to
9531s	come in here on to Fong with those fist
9533s	blades we were just talking about able
9535s	to get a couple of pieces in but verse
9537s	needs to take some time to get a reset
9539s	as Fong will find that full reset for
9541s	themselves as well wolves wangan going
9543s	to pick up the bounty on Dean Yuan as
9545s	this fight goes on and Fong being very
9547s	careful here he does have that ultimate
9549s	as Matari without your ultimate you are
9551s	fairly vulnerable and he sees that no
9553s	old Zone decides he doesn't want to
9554s	stick around and risk taking that fight
9557s	without his ultimate Jean Yuan on the
9559s	other hand more than happy to go ahead
9561s	and take this fight he knows that he
9563s	doesn't have that prolonged ultimate
9564s	it's just he needs to throw it out so if
9566s	he's able to get it out and then they go
9568s	and pop the old Zone they're not going
9569s	to find a lot of value out of it
9570s	unfortunately we do see verse tap
9572s	dodging through that there so he's not
9574s	going to find the connection on the
9575s	ultimate which is what we were talking
9576s	about there with that tessla it's a very
9578s	forgiving window for you to be able to
9580s	avoid that but now verse not going to be
9583s	able to avoid too much there he does get
9585s	away from that c Bloom which does end up
9587s	saving him so he doesn't get DME here
9589s	Frost is going to show up to the party
9591s	as well as he needs to get himself that
9593s	Soul Bloom to keep the game alive here
9595s	see that next set of yangs getting ready
9597s	to come through Frosty on the inside
9600s	here going to catch verse out and Fong
9601s	but keeps the pressure here going on to
9603s	verse verse with the F2 gets caught out
9605s	inside now F going to be caught out
9607s	there that Tessa will be coming through
9609s	as everybody comes in and says I'm going
9611s	to take my piece and get on out of here
9612s	verse though is going to take a lot of
9615s	damage no place to go so much damage
9617s	coming through it's going to go to Jean
9618s	Yuan but will frost be able to get the
9620s	bloom yes he does frost doesn't get the
9622s	kill but he keeps his game alive here
9624s	needs to be careful though is the ult
9626s	coming in from the kyin on Mike here
9628s	putting in a lot of work Mike though
9630s	little low on the HP needs to back away
9632s	Frost is going to find the reset Wang
9633s	leang going to come around the corner
9635s	and end the game here for Jean Yan as he
9637s	picks up his third elimination of the
9639s	game Mike heading on over decides he
9641s	wants to head into the realm of Yang
9643s	here he's going to pick up that ticket
9645s	players going to be hard pressed to keep
9647s	him from taking it given how long the
9648s	Yang's been up J bang on the inside here
9651s	of celester being forced to pop this
9653s	ultimate just to look for the reset
9655s	we're going to see musket shots coming
9657s	through left right and Center chuang
9659s	trying to get a little bit of damage out
9661s	find some value out of the ultimate
9662s	sides from the reset but those musket
9664s	shots tearing through him he's forced to
9666s	break completely away and head to the
9668s	Zone here just to look for a reset Shaw
9671s	star going to keep brace but
9673s	unfortunately for sha he will go down to
9676s	that Yang depletion and or sorry to
9678s	Jiang he will go down to the Yang
9679s	depletion sh picks up the elimination
9681s	and we head to the realm of
9682s	Yang indeed we do we' got the combo
9685s	coming out from wangang Catching Mike
9688s	slipping was that a quick slap a cheeky
9690s	slap coming out from wangang there I saw
9692s	that buddy you cheeky boy he goes for
9694s	the slap doesn't manage to find the
9695s	connection unfortunately we're both in
9697s	Ultimate at the moment Mike actually has
9699s	a few seconds uh he's going to have few
9702s	seconds of advantage on this ultimate
9704s	but is it going to be enough is it going
9706s	to mean anything if he's taken all of
9708s	this damage going back and forth
9710s	cleaving but Mike is using up a lot of
9713s	his health to do this damage he's just
9715s	going crazy with it but here we are now
9717s	on a sliver of HP wangyang did lose
9719s	quite a lot Mike sending those focuses
9721s	trying to send those lights out with the
9723s	fist blades and oh he reads the Parry he
9726s	reads the focus and Wang leang exclaims
9730s	and upset clearly about that situation
9733s	Mike claiming this realm of Yang
9736s	claiming that golden armor that white
9739s	tiger and that golden po sword or is a
9742s	great sword in Disguise as I like to
9744s	call it but it's going to stay a PO
9745s	sword it's going to stay hidden away for
9748s	the moment uh one day one day it'll Happ
9750s	one day it'll come out but uh wolves
9754s	wangang unfortunately in a bit of a bad
9757s	spot now with 5 minutes on the clock
9760s	with this Yang depletion him and Mike
9762s	just go past each other wyang has no
9765s	interest in going for the fight onto
9768s	Mike as not only is fellow kylin but he
9771s	is also a kylin with golden armor and
9775s	white Tiger's prowess and is going to be
9777s	an extremely hard target to take down
9781s	even though he doesn't know who he is
9782s	you know as these players aren't able to
9784s	actually tell who is who unless they
9787s	fully fully get eliminated by a player
9790s	so it doesn't he doesn't know it's Mike
9792s	he doesn't know who it is but he
9793s	certainly doesn't really want to be
9794s	taking that fight against him unless
9796s	he's absolutely forced to do so he's
9799s	sort of uh he's he's he's contemplating
9803s	the idea I believe he's just sort of
9804s	following Mike around at a distance
9806s	deciding whether or not he wants to
9808s	engage or perhaps he's just waiting to
9810s	see if Mike spots out a player and he's
9813s	just following closely behind to see if
9815s	he can find a third party and
9817s	potentially snipe away a soul Bloom but
9819s	they they're sort of walking in tandem
9821s	at the moment but we'll have to wait and
9823s	see about that situation so whether or
9825s	not Wang leyang is able to claim himself
9827s	a soul Bloom the moment though exin
9830s	rotating around in the in the south
9832s	south side of the safe Zone looking for
9834s	a player himself as he too has Yang dep
9838s	back over to wangang we they found the
9840s	Matari and Justina and it looks as
9843s	though Justina and Matari are going to
9844s	be the targets for uh for wangyang and
9848s	Mike here as uh you know they they don't
9851s	want to fight each other quite frankly
9852s	you know it's it's it seem so here's the
9856s	thing it looks sus G as hell however is
9859s	simply just it's just the way of the
9862s	game you know in solos if you are the
9865s	odd one out you are most likely going to
9868s	get focused down regardless of whether
9871s	or not it's necessarily the most optimal
9873s	character to take to take down as you
9876s	know it's it's very hard to is very it's
9879s	very easy to see when someone is on
9881s	their own if it's the only kyin and the
9884s	only only Liam only T whatever you know
9887s	it's hard to stay alive if you're the
9890s	only one as one of the finesses that a
9893s	lot of players use when in solos in
9896s	these environments is that quite frankly
9898s	you you're on default skins so you can't
9901s	tell people apart and the only the only
9903s	way that you really can is by what loot
9906s	they have on you know like what armor
9907s	they have what what weapon they're
9909s	holding in their in their hands at the
9911s	time and one of the finesses that a lot
9913s	of players do is that they swap weapons
9915s	and sort of costume change to prevent
9917s	themselves from getting focused if there
9918s	are other characters of the same the
9920s	other same characters in the lobby in
9923s	the area but if there's only one of you
9925s	it can be very hard to stay alive
9927s	unfortunately it looks as though Frost
9929s	ofus was eliminated was taken down in
9932s	that engagement the poor Liam there were
9935s	no other Liams in the lobby to help him
9936s	out he does get taken down but look at
9939s	here Xin the other Liam the now lone
9942s	Liam in the lobby is immediately getting
9944s	focused this trend is evident we see it
9948s	come we see it happen all the time
9950s	wangang now getting desperate in his
9952s	ultimate trying to find the kill onto
9953s	Xin trying to get that s Bloom not able
9956s	to do so just yet and now forced to take
9958s	this reset fortunately he does have
9960s	advanced heal so he might be able to
9962s	reset rather quickly however he's going
9964s	to have to get those uh get those
9967s	running shoes on and start chasing after
9969s	some of these players as he is running
9971s	out of
9973s	time yeah he needs to come back in and
9975s	apply that pressure onto ation knowing
9977s	that action doesn't have the ult here
9979s	this this is the perfect Target for him
9980s	to come on to even if he's not able to
9982s	secure the elimination he needs to stick
9984s	around this fight as closely as possible
9986s	and guarantee that tion does get
9988s	eliminated so he can get his hand on
9989s	that Soul Bloom he tried to pick up the
9991s	one from frost ofis there unfortunately
9993s	was not able to find it tion is going to
9994s	go extremely low wolves right here needs
9996s	to find it the scale rush comes in he
9998s	needs to pick up the elimination there's
10000s	the elimination Wang langang able to get
10002s	the soul Bloom unfortunately he goes way
10005s	too low in the cannon shot from T225
10007s	going to send him back to the lobby as
10009s	well very unfortunate wolves was off to
10011s	a tear here with three eliminations and
10013s	he needs another big game if he wants to
10015s	continue to climb the leaderboard here
10017s	so he has a chance to qualify for that
10019s	by-weekly he's got a lot of work to put
10021s	in given the position he's left into
10024s	because of uh Kai bal's poor performance
10027s	in his day one here ug's Mike going to
10030s	break away here more than happy to head
10032s	to the other side of the Bane and buy
10034s	himself quite a bit of respit as well as
10036s	a shop right here on the edge he does
10037s	have 43,000 dark TI coins this is the
10040s	time to go ahead and spend it right you
10042s	need to come in and make some decisions
10045s	go ahead and use that we've seen pretty
10048s	recently a trend of pro players making
10050s	it to end game with like 60,000 darktide
10053s	coins that they have no place to spend
10055s	it so Mike making really strong
10057s	decisions here he waits for that fight
10058s	to break out he tries to go in he tries
10060s	to capitalize on a kill he doesn't get
10062s	it what's the immediate next decision
10064s	okay hey we're heading into late game
10065s	here there's not going to be many
10066s	opportunities left to shop I need to go
10068s	spend these dark TI coins and turn them
10070s	into an advantage for myself in the late
10072s	game and this is some of that macro play
10074s	that some of these other players in the
10076s	league do struggle with and you see that
10078s	those players who do struggle with those
10080s	sort of very quick decision-making
10082s	skills typically are those players who
10084s	are middle to bottom of the pack so Mike
10087s	always there always knows what the
10089s	proper decision is and he wastes no time
10091s	making them whatsoever speaking of which
10093s	Mike yet again setting himself up for
10095s	Success here trying to come in trying to
10097s	secure that extra set of legendary armor
10098s	for himself here inside the spirit well
10100s	not to mention as well yeah the Parry
10103s	from Shaw there comes in is going to
10105s	force Mike out here as all these players
10107s	continue to fight over the spirit well
10110s	and you know we talk about those changes
10111s	coming through for Mortal war that have
10113s	changed things up pretty drastically
10114s	Spirit Well really being one of those
10116s	things it adds an extra buff into the
10118s	late game it adds that extra set of
10120s	armor you can fall back onto nobody else
10122s	can come in and pick up those resources
10124s	this is typically where if players are
10126s	going to be low in resources in the game
10128s	you start to see that coming through so
10130s	having those extra resources to fall
10131s	back onto that you don't have to hold in
10133s	your back pocket can be absolutely
10135s	gamechanging
10136s	Duncan absolutely you know having having
10139s	all of these resources ready to go when
10141s	you're going into this end game is
10142s	exactly what you want you definitely
10144s	don't want to be going into endgame with
10146s	just only a few little healing berries
10149s	and and armor Pounders you know we saw
10151s	that in game number one for Wang Le Yang
10153s	when he was on that Hardy he'd been
10156s	forced into engagements and he'd been
10158s	forced to use all of his resources and
10160s	by the end he was in a really bad spot
10162s	where where he had no heals whatsoever
10165s	fortunately though because of the way
10167s	that it played out he was able to
10168s	survive and secure second place however
10170s	it was looking very bad for him at a
10172s	time there and it's just not the spot
10174s	that you want to be in in this
10175s	environment but speaking of not being
10179s	the spot you want to be in T225 is in a
10181s	bit of a bad spot here getting focused
10184s	down by a lot of these players does eat
10186s	a lot of damage there from drg's who's
10189s	now reaging finding him within the
10191s	house5 goes for the dash doesn't manage
10193s	to connect it on that V1 as well
10195s	interestingly TR is he going to be able
10197s	to get the soul blo no he is not and the
10199s	more wait more of Def fights coming out
10201s	425 though still alive still kicking and
10205s	GG sha no interest in going for T225
10208s	he's going for the
10210s	Matari I have to say I feel like this is
10213s	uh it be it' be it makes more sense to
10217s	kill the guy who's just had his m div
10219s	Pro then to try and go for a Matari
10222s	who's just going to dash away but uh Hey
10225s	decisions were made and it looks as
10227s	though T225 is going to be getting a
10230s	full reset here now drg's
10232s	f with that white tiger prowess he seems
10236s	very happy with the situation going to
10238s	be using that tuna perhaps not the best
10240s	spot to be doing it my friend yeah let's
10242s	Okay move on over and find a different
10244s	spot he's grappling over there can he
10247s	find a jump R&B okay you to no he's not
10250s	going to bother he no need he's got
10252s	white tigers prowers why does he need
10253s	tuna although I will say that if you do
10256s	have white tet prowers and tuna the
10259s	combination of these two I'm pretty sure
10261s	they stack so you just end up being
10264s	extremely hard to kill as you're
10266s	constantly
10268s	healing um but yeah no he's not OP not
10271s	opting to go for it he's just he's just
10273s	vibing no no need chilling he's trying
10276s	to aggress onto these justinas who seem
10278s	to trying to fend off the aggression
10281s	from the Matari and the kyin they don't
10283s	want to be singled out because they know
10286s	that they very well will be singled out
10288s	they will be uh they will be torn apart
10291s	by this Matari and by this kylin also in
10293s	this situation kylin becomes a pretty
10297s	solid Target to focus down in this
10299s	situation as when it gets to that heal
10300s	off situation he's not going to go down
10303s	to that zone tick he's not going to die
10305s	to the storm damage when he has his
10307s	ultimate active at least for a few
10310s	seconds Mike catching drg F and T5
10313s	within this blue Focus he wanted to go
10315s	for T25 he's going for him now the
10317s	ultimate does get forced out from the
10318s	Justina T225 dashing through the Matari
10321s	not able to find the freeze just yet
10322s	does find the Stagger though T25 does
10324s	find the Stagger now onto Mike with the
10326s	freeze dashing through a little bit of
10328s	damage comes through and now he's
10329s	dashing away he's looking for the heal
10330s	he's looking for the reset F not going
10332s	to let him do it the dash through into
10334s	the nunchuck combo the dragon ra is
10335s	coming out he's trying to find him he's
10337s	chasing him down no more dashes for T25
10341s	unfortunately now sitting inside that F
10343s	it's not going to heal him though it's
10344s	only F2 only the combo break Mike now
10346s	coming online with that ultimate is
10347s	going to be pulling the trigger
10349s	unfortunately does not find the kill he
10350s	does get the soul Bloom though drg's F
10352s	going to find the kill with that musket
10354s	shot and now GG sha is going to get
10356s	focused down Mike gets frozen takes a
10358s	lot of damage from this fan R&B and now
10360s	he's on the retreat he's going to look
10362s	to try and find a reset is he going to
10364s	be allowed to do so run cuz that is the
10367s	question right now yeah I mean if you're
10369s	smart you definitely don't let the
10371s	Skyland make it to the end of the lobby
10372s	and you definitely don't when you get
10373s	Justina froze out here but Mike still
10375s	holding alive here a little bit of grief
10376s	coming but Fong going to clean up that
10378s	elimination very quickly Fong goes to
10380s	seven eliminations and now it's a 1 V
10382s	one versus sha and he opens it up with a
10383s	massive Parry sha with the freeze but
10386s	he's going to have his weapons Stripped
10387s	Away very quickly here by Fong Fong
10390s	still holding on here to the ultimate
10392s	there it is sha no place to go
10395s	unfortunately for him Fong an eight
10397s	elimination game with a first place
10399s	finish here is going to come through
10401s	with a ton of points on the board what a
10404s	huge MVP for drg's
10406s	Fong absolutely Fong absolutely gaming
10411s	right now very happy for himself is that
10413s	the second one no wait is that his wait
10418s	who was MVP in game two it was Fong
10420s	wasn't it uh yes it was Fong who came
10423s	out back to back for him yes sir and
10427s	with an8 kill game we haven't seen a a
10430s	uh game above seven kills in quite a
10433s	while here you know you were talking
10435s	about earlier that a fivepoint game is a
10437s	pretty substantial game this is going to
10440s	be an extremely substantial game for
10442s	drg's Fong and this is something I've
10445s	been talking about all season when it
10446s	comes to drg's fun have you noticed the
10448s	difference in his play style that has
10450s	been happening here every ever since we
10453s	made the change to our new format in
10455s	terms of scoring uh where you have to
10457s	get that 30-point threshold what has
10459s	Fong been doing he's been looking to
10461s	grief other players and that has cost
10463s	him so many games over the last couple
10466s	of weeks deg's Fong has started to shift
10469s	back to just playing Fong's game just
10471s	playing the type of nakaka that Fong
10473s	wants to play rather than focusing on
10475s	what other players are doing and he's
10477s	been finding huge success because of
10480s	that and I love to see it because I've
10481s	talked about it for a while I said if
10483s	bong just comes in and plays his game
10485s	instead of worrying about what everybody
10487s	else is doing he does extremely well so
10490s	clearly I think I think his coach has
10491s	been listening to me on broadcast and be
10493s	like you know what we're going to take a
10495s	queue from The Room Keeper over here and
10496s	you're going to go and you're going to
10497s	play your nraa and because of that he's
10499s	doing so well and I love to see it but
10501s	speaking of doing well make sure you
10502s	guys are paying attention to doing well
10504s	on these answer for Treasures because
10505s	you don't want to miss out on your
10506s	opportunity to get yourself one of these
10508s	Summers split random gift boxes how many
10510s	players chose kylin Jang in game number
10511s	three is it A1 B2 C3 or
10515s	D4 go ahead and lock your answers in I
10518s	will give you a little little bit hint
10519s	only one single hero uh was locked in
10522s	three times and the winning player was
10524s	playing them so that's your hint here
10526s	for your third question of the day I
10530s	like that hit not not giving too much
10532s	away there keeping it close to the best
10535s	and uh yeah make sure to get your
10537s	answers into the chat and don't be that
10539s	guy who puts his answer in and then
10541s	wanders off to go get a snack or go to
10544s	the L you know stick around make sure
10547s	that if it is you that win
10549s	if it is you that comes away with the
10551s	prize that you are are there to claim it
10553s	my friend don't be that guy however back
10556s	to NOA talk what a game from Fong truly
10560s	you know he was
10562s	absolutely tearing through the lobby and
10565s	speaking of here it is eight
10567s	eliminations 9.6 kill points as he did
10571s	secure that first place he gets that
10573s	multiplyer getting himself an extra 1.6
10576s	going up to 12 .6 combining those
10580s	ranking points as well a very very good
10583s	game and huge a huge contrast from the
10586s	second place as well T225 got three
10589s	kills and he was he he ended on 4.5 you
10593s	know that's that's pretty that's that's
10596s	a big difference big difference this
10598s	this is the thing when you clean up
10599s	eight eliminations from the lobby that's
10601s	half that's more than half the players
10603s	that are in the lobby right it is an
10606s	astronomical amount in terms of of solos
10610s	uh and again a 12.6 is insane when you
10613s	think about the fact that you need to be
10615s	around 30 to 35 points to guarantee that
10618s	you qualifi 12.6 points in one game is
10623s	insanity it is a huge game for drg's
10626s	Fong and he already was towards the top
10629s	of the leaderboard this game is going to
10630s	Skyrocket him and send him even further
10632s	on up we also see Frost ofis moving ever
10635s	closer to qualifying he just needs to
10638s	put some more points up on the board and
10640s	he will get there this week T225 uh not
10644s	not quite where he wants to be he does
10646s	drop one position here down into Seventh
10648s	Place 32.2 but he is above that crucial
10651s	30o threshold to guarantee his
10653s	qualification so he will most likely be
10656s	heading on in to those by-weekly finals
10658s	and here you go drg Fong going to be
10659s	moving another position forward into
10662s	that third place with a
10663s	52.6 and he still has three games left
10666s	to play today if he's able to put even
10669s	six points on the board he will tie wbg
10671s	spider if he puts a 6.1 up in the next
10674s	three games he will be moving into that
10677s	crucial first place position heading
10679s	into the bi-weekly final later this week
10682s	indeed and the thing is yeah it's uh
10684s	although this is simply qualification
10686s	for those bi-weekly finals it does a lot
10690s	percentage of those points do get
10692s	carried forward into the finals with you
10695s	and now with the new rule set you know
10698s	with the with the match point rule set
10701s	having those extra few points can quite
10703s	frankly mean the difference between you
10705s	taking the whole tournament uh early or
10708s	or not you know it can really be very
10711s	very important for you so getting as
10713s	many points as possible is always going
10715s	to be on your mind you know qualifying
10718s	is obviously the primary objective
10721s	however getting as many points as
10722s	possible is always going to be the
10724s	secondary most important thing but
10726s	taking a look at these fights at these
10728s	replays at Mike this was this was spicy
10732s	you know that Parry I I mean I don't
10735s	know I feel like this Parry was a little
10738s	bit this this Focus was somewhat
10740s	telegraphed you know in that kind of
10743s	with that spacing Mike was at the space
10745s	where if he had released it I'm not sure
10747s	if he would have actually gotten clipped
10749s	by the focus attack and most likely he
10751s	would have been able to hold Dodge in
10753s	and go for that Parry or he could have
10755s	he could have hold Dodge back waited to
10757s	see if he was look if he actually did
10759s	release it and then look to Parry on
10760s	reaction in that situation it was much
10763s	more in Wang liang's uh favor to look
10766s	for an overhaul situation and try and
10768s	play reactive as to what Mike might do
10770s	in that in that engagement but here we
10773s	are taking a look at the MVP Mr Fong
10777s	himself
10779s	27 and a half th000 damage coming out
10783s	from him with eight kills and wait what
10786s	is that 22 wait damage Dage with melee
10790s	weapons
10793s	22222 a very very nice number to look at
10796s	there spear 8.5 th000 nunchuck 8,000
10800s	dual blades 4.3 feeling very happy with
10803s	that tuna as well in the back pocket
10806s	alongside that white Tiger's prowess
10808s	that he was able to secure for himself
10810s	staying very healthy and very very
10813s	topped up on that Health pool but uh a
10816s	little replay on those faces right that
10818s	just Fong looking very happy very very
10824s	chuffed yeah Fong Fong's a very
10827s	interesting player right you know we we
10829s	talk about the history of deg's Fong you
10831s	know he we called him the dagger demon
10833s	for so long this is a player that would
10836s	like he would have legendary weapons in
10837s	the back pocket and be crutching a white
10839s	dagger for the longest time and again we
10842s	go back to talking about him just
10843s	needing to play his game and not kind of
10845s	crutch daggers and stuff in the past him
10847s	making those changes and improving and
10849s	then he turned into this player who just
10851s	looked to grief other players out I I
10853s	vividly remember there being a game
10855s	where Mike squirel away sets of purple
10858s	armor and it was Fong who would like
10860s	fight him away from it come back in
10862s	Squirrel the armor away from Mike put
10864s	Mike in positions like he would fall
10865s	back and Mike would be like cool I've
10867s	got an armor right here and come back
10868s	and be like where's my armor bro and
10870s	then just immediately turn and look at
10871s	Fong and not be able to find it but
10873s	ladies and gentlemen we are going to
10874s	take a short break before we come back
10875s	and lock in for game number four don't
10877s	go anywhere cuz we're going to see if
10879s	Fong can do it and come back with the
10880s	back to back to back MVP you're not
10882s	going to want to miss out we'll see you
10883s	guys soon

11339s	welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the
11340s	Rock blade Point pro league summer
11343s	season of course we are on our by weekly
11345s	3 I'm your host jcast the Rune keeper
11347s	joining me is my boy Duncan the beard
11350s	Bros if you will bringing it back in
11352s	here as we're going to take a look over
11353s	don't forget you got to make sure you
11355s	have your Twitch account linked so you
11357s	can get these all some drops and make
11359s	sure if you miss anything this week Miss
11362s	today or tomorrow you don't want to miss
11364s	our Saturday and Sunday shows cuz we're
11366s	going to our bi-weekly three season
11368s	finals so that means you're going to get
11369s	that awesome dragon's grave background
11372s	and you don't want to miss out on those
11374s	those are onetime drops if you miss them
11376s	they're never going to come back ever
11377s	again so get yourself some goodies make
11379s	sure you come in and cheer on your
11381s	favorite competitors here during our Bi
11384s	weekly finals but first we've got to
11386s	head back in and head into game number
11388s	four cuz we got to figure out who
11390s	qualifies for a by-weekly Duncan indeed
11393s	we do and there are quite a few players
11396s	lurking just below the threshold of that
11400s	12th Place spot few of those being you
11403s	know I think Wang leang still hasn't
11405s	managed to to make it up there yet Frost
11408s	of us hasn't paced hasn't interestingly
11410s	enough considering that he was the uh
11413s	the champion the victor of our previous
11417s	bye weekly solos not not uh not last
11420s	week necessarily but the week before and
11423s	uh yeah to see him lurking down in the
11426s	depths is quite the contrast you know
11429s	it's quite the contrast to what we what
11431s	we were what we expecting of him moving
11435s	forwards off the back of that win in the
11437s	previous bi-weekly however it is what it
11441s	is as you must as you must say you know
11444s	you got to have that mentality as to not
11447s	get tilted and not allow yourself to uh
11451s	to just spiral downwards as that will be
11455s	the death of you it will it will mean uh
11458s	that you likely won't be able to recover
11460s	so staying positive as uh is definitely
11464s	the way to go and what one should strive
11467s	for sha having a little bit of a joke
11469s	with his coach there smile on his face
11472s	he's not he's not in the hot seat so he
11474s	definitely can be all Smiley and happy
11477s	however wanging Yang looking very locked
11480s	in having I'm not sure what's going on
11482s	there on the side but he's uh he's
11485s	looking to get back into the game he's
11487s	looking to get
11489s	aggressive my guy sits very low in his
11491s	chair not going to lie I I I I mean
11495s	everyone sits differently you know there
11497s	a little bit higher up in the chair Mr
11498s	past he's uh he's looking very he's
11501s	looking very locked in the Miss oh my
11503s	goodness past he look he I can imagine
11506s	if this guy gets angry he would be be
11508s	very scary to go up against uh in and
11511s	out of game but let's see if he can make
11513s	it work in game as he certainly needs to
11517s	uh get the ball rolling so to speak if
11520s	he's going to have a chance of making it
11522s	to this bi-weekly final but another
11525s	thing to say is that we're going to be
11526s	going over to
11529s	peroria daytime morning du so that means
11532s	that there are no fireflies out in the
11535s	world out in the PLS not be able to find
11538s	any fireflies however those Firefly
11541s	cages the the rage charge stations are
11544s	still going to be in play and in fact
11546s	there is a secret Firefly in uh in
11550s	peroria that not many people know about
11553s	I think I might in fact be one of the
11555s	only people who really knows about it as
11557s	I the Firefly
11559s	Cur nice to meet you you got you got to
11563s	you got to get them TCO SS going you
11564s	know what I'm saying dun only way to do
11566s	that is
11568s	exactly you got to get them you got to
11570s	you need it it's just it needs to be
11572s	done but there is a a little I'll I'll
11575s	I'll uh I'll I'll let you guys all in on
11577s	it the uh there is a small little area
11580s	to the west of Imperium not the one with
11584s	the the triple layered building the one
11586s	to the south of that there's a cave or a
11589s	room that's underneath that that area
11592s	that you have to break one of those
11594s	breakable trees to get into you break
11597s	the tree and you send it in the
11599s	direction of the breakable wall there's
11601s	a firefly in there and it sometimes
11604s	spawns even on daytime Maps however it's
11607s	not a guaranteed spawn so it is
11611s	sometimes there however it's not always
11612s	there but that is one of the only
11614s	fireflies that is actually on the map
11616s	when it is daytime but taking a look at
11619s	these uh these character pcks what do
11621s	you think in run going into this game I
11623s	mean it's you know the meta has kind of
11625s	been solved at this point uh it's pretty
11628s	much exactly what you expect to see
11630s	you've got the hottie band the kylin
11631s	band The Liam band coming through as
11633s	well uh we are going to say Jean Yuan
11635s	here on the temi you know we talked
11636s	about uh tumul in game number one this
11639s	is a character just given the way that
11641s	his kit plays out right that I don't
11643s	think is ever going to not find a viable
11646s	space in the meta right do I think he is
11648s	going to be a top tier like must pick
11651s	dominant character no but I think he's
11653s	always going to find success you're
11654s	always going to see MVP games happening
11656s	with him his ability to deny area his
11659s	ability to reset the whips off of the V3
11662s	just his ability to create spacing as
11665s	long as you know how to play him you're
11667s	not like aggressively diving into like a
11670s	fight of four or five people happening
11672s	all at once on tamy unless you're diving
11674s	in to just like secure a Kill by
11676s	throwing your ult out locking him down
11677s	real quick and then picking it up I
11679s	think tamy always going to be just a
11681s	viable pick no surprises here to see him
11683s	on the F1 V3 as well and it's johanan
11686s	it's going to be a second time picking
11688s	him here today A lot of the MVPs that he
11690s	has found has also been on Tami as well
11694s	so no surprise to see him taking the
11695s	double pick here star also going to be
11697s	on their double pick as well going to be
11698s	playing Matari for the second time today
11702s	I don't think there's any big surprises
11704s	across the board here in terms of
11705s	ability verse going to be taking the F2
11708s	over the F1 there uh on the Justina but
11710s	pretty standard I think you see kind of
11713s	equally the F1 and F2 when it comes to
11715s	those Justina picks coming through uh we
11718s	had seen some Liams believe it or not
11719s	actually running V2 uh Mike was one of
11722s	those Liams who did run V2 last week um
11725s	but not seeing it here today uh
11728s	everybody kind of sticking with that F1
11729s	V1 there for those Liams coming in going
11732s	to be very interesting I want to see if
11734s	Mike can climb the wall this game right
11736s	I want to see if we can get that Liam
11737s	MVP cuz we have seen so very few of them
11740s	in solos uh for this season
11744s	Duncan yeah true and uh just a quick
11747s	note on the on the V2 for Liam it's uh
11751s	it had its it's had its time in the
11753s	Limelight you know it was it was there
11755s	for a little while the Spheres that you
11756s	throw out it was it was pretty solid and
11760s	uh was actually starting to get picked
11762s	up but then I believe it did receive
11764s	Nerfs however I'm not sure if they are
11767s	in fact playing on the patch that it has
11769s	been nerfed I don't think because if
11771s	they were then that would mean that
11774s	valder had been buffed in thatat so I
11778s	don't think they're on it however one of
11780s	the reasons why I think originally even
11783s	when it was actually considered pretty
11785s	good was the fact that the reason why
11787s	they weren't playing it was that
11789s	although it is good it's not that good
11791s	in competitive play compared to ranked
11794s	as it doesn't function as well as V1
11798s	does in multi-wave fights now when you
11802s	throw out the sphere if you catch
11804s	somebody with it then great you're going
11806s	to be able to do a considerable amount
11808s	of damage them potentially just infinite
11810s	loot them with the double sphere however
11814s	if you miss the sphere if you miss one
11816s	of them you are in for a bad time as it
11819s	it's once you throw it out it's gone
11821s	whereas with V1 you throw it out it puts
11824s	that Dome that sort of circle on the
11826s	ground that you can then play around
11829s	even once you've missed the initial
11831s	activation or the initial confirmation
11833s	of it so it does V1 does function much
11836s	better in a multi-way fight situation
11838s	which is very common place within nvpl
11841s	solos but back to the fighting back to
11844s	the action wolves Wang leang up against
11847s	verse unfortunately getting over held
11850s	here having lost some of most of his
11852s	armor finding an armor Swap and then
11854s	managing to break away but not for very
11856s	long as verse was quick on the chase
11858s	down now verse up against paast past
11861s	with the unarmed swap gets the cheeky
11863s	slap onto him and verse now in a bit of
11866s	a bad spot no F available not for
11868s	another 4 seconds and counting paste
11870s	trying to make something happen before
11871s	this comes back off cool down verse
11874s	though he is going to be getting his
11875s	ultimate up very soon and there it is
11877s	gets the grapple combo though no need to
11879s	Al no need for f gets the scale Rush
11881s	opener and there it is ver with two
11884s	quick eliminations off the rip yeah
11887s	absolutely huge there for verse man talk
11889s	about an HP and a dream here Mike
11891s	clearly being able to find an armor swap
11893s	there now trying to get a little bit of
11894s	a reset as both B da and our boy G's
11897s	Fong trying to close in onto Mike here
11900s	Mike not off to a great start in this
11902s	particular game here Fong with a huge
11905s	armor and weapon Advantage here on to
11907s	Mike action up top going to walk into
11909s	the R&B there from those dual how birds
11912s	though Fong coming in here oh my
11913s	goodness going to get some big damage
11914s	there onto Mike Mike going to use the F
11916s	to negate some of it and break away here
11918s	going up top side does not want to stay
11920s	into that particular fight but does want
11922s	to keep the pressure up here onto action
11924s	not allowing action to get the heal
11926s	through here the old going to come
11927s	through as well the Perry comes through
11928s	the F yet again but not quite enough
11931s	Mike with the ultimate going to save
11932s	himself a little bit but now he is in a
11934s	bad positions ladies and gentlemen there
11936s	we go it's going to be invested here
11937s	he's going to catch Fong out with it but
11939s	Mike needs to look to break away from
11941s	this fight unless he's got an armor to
11942s	swap in here things could spell disaster
11945s	for him there it is he's got half a
11947s	white armor to swap into I believe this
11948s	was an armor he swapped out of earlier
11951s	to get into a full white one but it's
11952s	going to be immediately Stripped Away
11953s	Pawn coming here on the oos will catch
11955s	the V the F coming in from Mike in the
11957s	very last second to save him into yet
11959s	another armor swap Mike has got him in
11962s	the back pocket ladies and gentlemen
11964s	smoke him if you got him he says but
11965s	he's going to be caught out by the V2
11967s	yet again here huge damage as well as
11969s	pistol shots coming in Mike really low
11971s	here the F not on back for another 4
11974s	seconds being pushed into the corner the
11976s	F going to come up very shortly he needs
11977s	to make something happen a Perry coming
11979s	in from bur the attention turned away
11981s	for just a second but Fong not going to
11982s	let it go away Mike forced to burn the F
11984s	yet again though trying to come in and
11986s	find the arm and he finds another one
11988s	there's a blue s right there as well
11990s	Mike finds yet another armor swap but
11992s	bong keeps the pressure up Mike keeping
11994s	it alive one HP in a dream just trying
11997s	to keep it going the RNG God smile on
11999s	Mike yet again as he keeps going here
12001s	but Fong look for it the freeze comes
12003s	through but it catches fog not Mike will
12006s	finally go down to fog with the
12007s	horizontal the terrain not playing into
12010s	Mike's favor so unfortunate that was
12013s	absolutely crazy Mike keeps the dream
12015s	alive for so long
12017s	that was that that was clutch if
12020s	anything if anything ever has been
12022s	clutch that was it Mike with those armor
12026s	swaps making it all the way over to the
12028s	floating pile that had only just spawned
12031s	in by the way he must have known that it
12033s	was coming up and he went on over right
12035s	there opened up both of the gold troves
12037s	and luckily was able to grab that white
12040s	armor and then into the blue armor after
12042s	having that one shredded by the Dual
12045s	halberts R&B very nicely done by Mike
12047s	unfortunately not able to disengage or
12050s	get any kills off of that either but it
12053s	is what it is he put up a fight Mike's
12055s	not going down without a fight you know
12057s	Mike we all know Mike this guy is an
12059s	absolute oer but I was going to say you
12061s	got to appreciate him keeping it ooly
12064s	absolutely past wangle Yang going up
12067s	against each other fighting around this
12069s	this floating pile another floating pile
12071s	situation here past losing some of his
12073s	armor wangyang has lost some of his
12075s	health and a little bit of his armor to
12077s	and they are somewhat equal in terms of
12078s	effective Health however neither is uh
12082s	is looking to disengage just yet Pace
12084s	does get the full reset but as I say
12086s	that pace why you going to do me like
12088s	that bro I just I just looked I just
12090s	said neither of you are going to look to
12091s	disengage and you just immediately run
12093s	away okay bro he's he's out of there
12095s	he's not he's not up for it he's not
12097s	he's not he's not looking for it he's
12098s	not looking for the smoke however verse
12101s	certainly is my guy is on five
12103s	eliminations already we've been in the
12106s	game for all of two minutes and this man
12109s	has already gotten five kills coming in
12112s	and sniping away this kill onto
12115s	jani1 he is off to an absolutely massive
12119s	start this game verse he's not playing
12122s	around right now on this Justina V1 no
12125s	less but heading on over yet again this
12128s	fight between past and Wang leang is
12130s	still going down past has yet to
12133s	regenerate enough rage to get his
12134s	ultimate online however Wang leang
12136s	certainly does have his Al but
12138s	unfortunately due to the terrain he goes
12140s	for that Tod combo but not able to find
12142s	it his oric sword gets griefed by that
12145s	little platform he's still on the chase
12146s	though he still has one left to go he
12148s	get sends it out mitigates the damage
12151s	from that R&B Focus past sends out the
12153s	F2 catches him the sky doesn't get the
12155s	full Focus release though the combo
12156s	break comes out from Wang leang now Wang
12158s	leang forced to take a step back and
12161s	look to heal up his armor as he knows
12164s	very well that pace is going to be
12166s	looking for the this reagg however
12168s	unfortunately looks as though he has no
12171s	grapples to his name so chasing down
12173s	Wang leang in this situation is going to
12175s	be very very difficult and I don't think
12178s	it's going to uh I don't think it's
12180s	going to happen as Wang leang has
12183s	immediately dipped just got run for the
12186s	hills headed on over to this Yang where
12189s	Mike was waiting but unfortunately since
12191s	Mike is waiting there he's not going to
12193s	be looking to contest him as he has no
12195s	ultimate either and there wasn't that
12197s	much time left however Mike certainly is
12199s	going to be getting contested and verse
12202s	is going to be that person the man with
12205s	five kills on the board already is he
12207s	going to keep it rolling Runa or is he
12209s	going to fall flat against Mike we're
12211s	going to find out the grapples as the
12213s	fight goes Airborne looking for those
12214s	pistol shots not quite going to fight
12216s	him Mike on the disadvantage here though
12218s	with the blue armor blue weapon vers
12220s	with a purple hang swword and that
12222s	purple armor in the back pocket five
12224s	eliminations he is on a roll Mike though
12227s	off of being eliminated there off of so
12229s	many armor swaps actually comes in
12230s	Fairly decently geared given the fact
12232s	that he was eliminated where he was just
12234s	before this Yang though will find that
12237s	uh F activation coming in there now and
12239s	we're going to see verse come in the
12241s	staff putting a little bit of work here
12243s	for Mike but ver still very ahead trying
12245s	to use that cannon that metal we were
12246s	talking about during game one there
12248s	trying to get that damage off will find
12249s	some more of that damage onto Mike every
12252s	single time going to go for the Clank
12253s	yet again goes for the overh but Mike
12255s	knows it's coming tries to go for the
12257s	punish not quite able to find it though
12258s	the hot swap into pistol just for some
12260s	chip damage verse doing a really good
12262s	job of just keeping the chip going he is
12264s	able to find some big damage in there
12266s	but goes into the R&B there off the
12268s	staff forced to use the F there and Mike
12270s	now knows he doesn't have the F
12271s	immediately tries to go for the massive
12273s	weapon swap will find it again ver needs
12275s	to be careful here if he needs to pop
12276s	the ultimate before it goes down there
12278s	it is the going to come out very close
12281s	to Mike just being able to completely
12282s	flip the fight oh my goodness now he
12284s	gets griefed out he lands on Mike's head
12286s	the Goomba stomp keeps him from being
12288s	able to capitalize but he will find it
12290s	this time he doesn't he waits too long
12292s	verse griefs himself not once but twice
12295s	in this fight off of this ultimate he
12296s	gets both freezes but he doesn't get
12298s	anything from either of them if he loses
12300s	this fight he only has himself to play
12303s	but no Mike walks into the overh hold
12305s	and verse against the odds turns it back
12307s	around oh my god I've said it so many
12313s	times stop doing 211 please the Love of
12318s	All that is good 211 is not worth it
12322s	unless you can literally do it with your
12325s	eyes closed it is never worth it Mike
12329s	has him he has him in the he has the win
12333s	in his grasp and he throws it away
12336s	because he goes for the 211 he would
12338s	have killed him if he'd simply done the
12341s	standing lmb R&B C lmbb combo he would
12344s	have been dead and he would have won
12346s	that r of Yang but instead he went for
12348s	the 211 combo as for some reason the
12352s	majority of solo players have this
12354s	compulsion to do this and and just and
12357s	just drops it he drops it and and then
12360s	loses the Yang in the end fortunately
12363s	verse did drop uh did drop his
12366s	aggression as well he doesn't get the
12367s	doesn't get the freeze punish but still
12370s	you know that could have all of that
12372s	could have been mitigated by simply just
12373s	doing the more consistent combo and the
12376s	thing is 211 with nunchuck is 100% worth
12381s	doing if you can because it does quite a
12383s	lot more damage however sta 211 unless
12387s	you're able to get the mid Dodge RMB
12390s	light attack followup after the R&B
12393s	Focus actually doesn't do more damage
12396s	than the standing light attack combo it
12398s	doesn't it just doesn't do the doesn't
12400s	do as much damage and considering the
12402s	consistency of the standing light attack
12405s	combo I feel like it's just far more
12407s	worthwhile although
12410s	unfortunately Mike looks pretty tilted
12412s	that's that's a that's that's very rough
12415s	to to have gone down in the realm of
12416s	Yang due to a mistake like that and then
12419s	to get eliminated from a Ballista hit
12422s	Frost ofus pulling out the The Cheeky
12425s	tricks catches the ballista shot onto
12428s	Mike and you can see Mike he literally
12431s	he just didn't even bother getting up he
12433s	just lay there and accepted his fate
12435s	because it was quite frankly an
12437s	unwinable situation especially off the
12440s	back of that early game situation where
12442s	he was so unbelievably low managed to
12445s	clutch both of those armor swaps and
12447s	then still dies but it is what it is ver
12451s	he's still gaming look at this guy he's
12453s	a machine right now six eliminations 45
12456s	seconds left on the vilon BM so he's not
12458s	too bothered about going down here he
12460s	does put up a fight but there's no use
12463s	in extending the inevitable here it
12465s	rather go down use the buff and uh and
12468s	come back stronger and fully healed Jan
12471s	Yuan though not uh not one of those
12473s	players with that Vilan BS might if he
12475s	does go down here he will be down for
12478s	good and it looks as though that may be
12480s	an eventuality at this point as he is
12482s	currently surrounded on all sides by
12484s	these players exen 23 seconds and
12488s	counting left on the Yang depletion he
12490s	needs to find this elimination right now
12492s	otherwise he's going to be going down to
12494s	that Yang depletion is going to be r is
12496s	going to be a tilter if he does the
12498s	grapple whiff not like this the grapple
12501s	doesn't go through does he find him six
12505s	5 4 3 2 1 and no he's going down oh
12512s	that's so much pain I felt that in my
12515s	soul good Lord oh no and against the
12520s	odds xanu on here keeps the the game
12522s	Alive by the way yeah I love it I
12525s	absolutely love it
12527s	in the previous fight we watched three
12529s	people go down by the way Jean Yuan
12531s	catches a fourman wisp in that previous
12534s	fight where we see gigg Shaw uh die as
12536s	well as a bunch of those other players
12538s	right here on this front side you can
12539s	see the body is laying right there that
12540s	fourman wisp costing two players their
12542s	entire game there as we head over though
12545s	now it's going to be fun plus Fenix vers
12546s	JTG Shu Jang looking to head into this
12548s	realm of Yang and I do believe uh Chu
12551s	Jang here with the ticket into the Yang
12552s	is just chilling on the other side of
12554s	the wall vers trying to come in and
12556s	grief this out a little bit but I do
12558s	believe it's open already if he wants to
12560s	head inside Chu Jang can just go ahead
12561s	and head right into that realm of Yang
12563s	but he's looking to just grief this out
12565s	on to verse verse could to be forced to
12566s	back away here he's got those dual blade
12569s	there with the hook skins here really
12572s	great skin as we head to the realm of
12573s	Yang s this one's Pace versus drg's Fong
12576s	going head to-head here Pace going to go
12577s	Airborne here Fong of course the backto
12579s	back MVP from the last two games it also
12581s	looks like Alliance and jdg going to be
12584s	heading into your other realm of Yang a
12586s	huge scale Rush there coming off the top
12588s	rope there with the p sword going to
12589s	initiate the fight onto Pace Pace going
12591s	to turn around with the dual blades
12592s	though he's going to miss the Parry
12593s	though saon going to take quite a bit of
12595s	damage there now going into that Al form
12596s	looking to go ahead and take the
12598s	aggression here on to Pace Pace going to
12600s	ult back here looking for that
12602s	opportunity to go in he's going to get
12604s	the read Fong Miss reads tries to go in
12606s	and now Pace going to capitalize huge on
12608s	this oh my goodness and into the V
12611s	followup bong just going to take it all
12613s	there misses the v as well this is an
12616s	absolute disaster for drg's Fong tries
12618s	to go in for the F2 doesn't find the
12620s	connection and Pace almost all the way
12622s	back to full health Fong one HP and the
12624s	dream just looking to go in but the
12625s	double scale is doing a ton of damage
12627s	here he's looking to set up the third
12629s	decides he's going to go for the pot but
12630s	pace is going to get off first he is
12631s	able to get the pot off gets the Clank
12633s	around the corner go looks for the scale
12634s	rush but the uppercut off of the dual
12635s	blades and that's going to clean it up S
12637s	this one pace takes your R of Yang that
12640s	was so beautifully played chat take
12642s	notes take notes ladies and gentlemen
12645s	ss1
12648s	that was beautifully played he read him
12650s	like a book very very nicely done and
12653s	that's that's the acos mirror the AOS
12655s	mirror is one of the most telling in
12658s	terms of uh whether or not you truly
12661s	understand the matchup and what a you
12664s	know what a what a demonstration from
12666s	Pace there to show just how vers he is
12669s	on that matchup but looky here Frost
12672s	ofus off the back of that ballista kill
12675s	onto Mike he goes into the realm of Yang
12677s	and here it is thank you production
12679s	thank you very much for that one Frost
12681s	of us winning out this realm of Yang
12685s	taking down chuang with that kylin pick
12688s	oh my goodness what are you going to do
12690s	chuang you got the man with the sword
12694s	it's just I mean who
12697s	wait okay okay
12699s	Frost okay the teleports it's all good
12702s	though he's still invulnerable I'm still
12704s	immune to your Damage Big Dog
12706s	and he's not too bothered about it he
12708s	takes him down in the end and then after
12711s	the r of Yang finds himself a uh a tul
12715s	aan Yuan on the tul and eliminates him
12719s	fully as well Frost us up to four
12721s	eliminations are very nice to see from
12723s	him but back to drg's Fong the two
12727s	players with Yang depletion right now
12729s	scrapping it out Fong trying to chase
12731s	down chuang have he used his ultimate
12734s	just barely missing that tiger grab with
12738s	the last second on his ultimate not able
12741s	to find the confirmation and now he's on
12743s	the
12744s	defensive can he can he get away here
12747s	get to get the full reset he gets
12748s	somewhat of a reset Cho looking to
12751s	aggress goes for the musket shot misses
12753s	both unfortunately grappling finds the
12755s	F2 opener is he going for a ride gets
12758s	the two11 into the double jump B and be
12760s	very nice does get caught by the F2
12763s	though looks for the jump to try and
12764s	mitigate it not able to find it un
12766s	unfortunately F now with the scale rush
12768s	into the soft true uppercut doesn't find
12771s	it chuang's ready for it now trying to
12773s	re agress on the chase having avoided
12776s	some of that damage has slight Health
12778s	Advantage these grapples though going
12780s	wide he's catching them but it's not
12782s	going to is not allow to fully chase him
12784s	down yet and now we're getting the full
12786s	reset yet again Chang going for the
12788s	scale Rush doesn't find it the F2 comes
12790s	through but it clanks essentially
12791s	against the F2 Chen canceling that Parry
12794s	attack going up for the 211 combo gets
12797s	the double jump B into the Trap it procs
12799s	f gets knocked back the the blue Focus
12801s	release the0 n gets avoided gets I by
12804s	chuang he sends out the grapple doesn't
12807s	opt to go for the for the grapple a
12809s	assist though doesn't get his grapple
12811s	grief this time and manages to chase him
12814s	down and take him out chuang with that
12818s	poison Splash you better get in the zone
12819s	soon Buddy and there it is he's back in
12821s	and he's safe taking himself up to two
12823s	eliminations very nice to see yeah
12826s	absolutely huge here for CH Jang we are
12828s	down to seven players left remaining
12830s	live zone three gets ready to collapse
12831s	on to zone four we cut over to ss1 paste
12834s	here the legendary armor and a set of
12836s	legendary nunchucks here as we see 2225
12839s	pressing over as well uh little bit of a
12843s	Slowdown here as we are getting ready to
12844s	head into zone four which means we are
12846s	going to see that first late game Banes
12848s	breath come through so the players not
12850s	wanting to heavily overcommit here but
12852s	if you notice it is all the bottom of
12854s	the pack right now who are Left Alive in
12857s	this Lobby frosted was the four
12859s	eliminations this could be the game he
12861s	needs to make it into that qualification
12864s	he's not been able to qualify for a Bi
12865s	weekly All Season he has constantly been
12868s	right where he is right now just on the
12871s	cusp of it so he desperately wants to
12874s	make it happen for himself here and he
12875s	is having a really good game here for it
12878s	if he can make it to these final circles
12880s	he might be able to make that
12882s	qualification happen ss1 Pace though
12884s	currently holding on to a strong
12887s	position in the lobby there with those
12889s	purple NES per or sorry uh legendary
12891s	nonnies and that legendary armor
12893s	unfortunately for Pace though only one
12895s	elimination under his belt and he is so
12897s	far down he would need this game and two
12900s	more really explosive games I do believe
12903s	to qualify at this point and it's sad to
12905s	see cuz he was your last champion for
12907s	your bi-weekly T225 back up on the
12910s	ballista here the F2 trading blows with
12913s	the ballista shot there Pace playing
12915s	that out really well Pace sh why he was
12917s	the bi-weekly Champion there that is
12920s	such a fun interaction to see you love
12922s	to see it coming through tt25
12924s	unfortunately we say the ballista is
12926s	already good for one tt25 buddy ballista
12928s	already got one this game sh here going
12931s	to be on the receiving end of the F2 yet
12933s	again and Pace just keeps it moving with
12935s	those NES doing so much damage here to
12938s	sha he does miss the uh grapple
12940s	aggression onto the lmb there though sha
12942s	forced to burn the ultimate though going
12943s	to go Airborne going to cancel the
12944s	ultimate out here on the edge wants to
12946s	hold on to as much of that old charge as
12948s	possible and it does look like he's able
12950s	to get most of a reset here's trying to
12952s	get that last Shield pot off he does get
12953s	it off but it's going to take a little
12954s	bit of Clank damage there the advanced
12956s	heal though going to put in work for him
12958s	though because he eats that Clank and a
12960s	little bit of damage before the advanced
12961s	heal has time to proc so he's going to
12964s	get that full reset back in that Soul
12966s	Jade doing a lot of work for him there
12968s	as he's able to maintain 50% of the old
12971s	charge wolves wangang just chilling down
12973s	below does not want to be on the
12974s	receiving end of the ballista and GG sha
12975s	now trying to try his luck up here on
12977s	the ballist got to be careful about how
12979s	many of those repair kits you spend if
12981s	you're not able to land those hits he
12982s	does catch one directly on to Chu Jang
12984s	and it does so much damage there chuang
12987s	now going to be aggressed on to by the
12988s	rest of the lobby wangang everybody
12989s	coming in and sha just waits for him to
12991s	come in says bring me that delivery Jan
12994s	going to find a white armor swap though
12996s	keeping his game alive here not the best
12998s	of positions to be in trying to get a
13000s	pot off here will back away but
13002s	immediately going to have that armor
13003s	shredded away here sha coming in he's
13006s	going to immediately pop back into the
13007s	purple armor decides he wants to get
13009s	that upgrade going back up a little bit
13011s	of risky business here though because
13012s	that purple armor no armor on it right
13015s	now but ju Jang able to get down below
13017s	get into the Zone find himself a place
13019s	to get the reset Frosty so low here he's
13022s	in the as everybody turn it on to him
13024s	Frost of is trying to hold on for dear
13026s	life here Pace though with the F2 no
13028s	place to go and Pace sends him back out
13030s	the lobby unfortunately but now pce on
13032s	the receiving end verse Verso place to
13034s	go the freeze comes through good night
13036s	ss1 Pace you might send Frost ofus back
13038s	to the lobby but versus sending you to
13040s	join him this is why you don't commit to
13044s	a fight Frost ofus getting forced onto
13048s	by pace and by these other players
13050s	putting him in a very very rough spot
13053s	forc to use his all and then just past
13057s	goes down with him and both of these
13059s	players who are currently trying to get
13062s	into that top 12 spot and now eliminated
13066s	from the lobby and just lose their
13069s	chances at potentially getting that
13070s	first place finish to get the extra
13073s	points from that multiplier that is very
13076s	sad to see indeed as uh now we're down
13079s	to four players verse on seven
13082s	eliminations wangang unfortunately on
13085s	zero T225 on one and GG sha on four we
13089s	got the double Hardy and then the
13091s	Justina Liam as we can see Wang leang
13094s	and verse not interested in fighting
13097s	each other as the other two Hardies in
13099s	the lobby certainly are more the more
13102s	optimal Target to go for here as they uh
13107s	they can be extremely hard to deal with
13109s	going into these heal off situations as
13111s	they do have that fire damage connected
13114s	with their kit with their ultimate and
13116s	they're able to apply it very
13118s	effectively and very efficiently making
13120s	it much easier for them to pick up kills
13123s	going into that end game situation and
13126s	uh not only pick up kills but also
13128s	survive as they're able to fly high in
13130s	the sky and stay out of Harm's Way
13133s	however verse also on the Justina is
13135s	able to do some somewhat similar he is
13139s	very interested in taking down these
13140s	Hardies as as quickly as possible
13143s	forcing out these ultimates GG sha
13144s	taking a lot of damage forced to use
13146s	that F1 F2 combo breaker trying to
13149s	disengage ver wangang a little love tap
13152s	there oh don't I'm not trying to hit you
13154s	GG sha is the target
13156s	the staff lunging away trying to
13159s	disengage goes for the overh hold into
13161s	the cancel with the hold Dodge but verse
13162s	catches him with that grapple lmb and
13164s	now the ultimate's coming online for the
13165s	Justina verse is going to look to try
13167s	and chase him down but not able to
13168s	immediately do so and he's now turned
13170s	his attention over to
13172s	T225 and uh and wangang there alongside
13176s	him essentially making it very hard for
13178s	anyone to get fully focused down and
13181s	taken out for the moment verse saving a
13183s	lot of his ultimate charge along with
13186s	sha and it's somewhat of a stalemate
13188s	Rune yeah this is very very interesting
13190s	this kind of devolved into a little bit
13192s	of a 2v2 when we actually started this
13194s	fight it was Shaw giving Chase to T225
13196s	the two hotties trying trading blows but
13198s	verse and wolves wangang here deciding
13201s	that they want the hotties out of this
13202s	Lobby like you said going to those sort
13204s	of heal off situations that ultimate
13206s	being exceptionally crucial when it's
13208s	that V2 being able to put that burn tick
13210s	and anti- heal onto these players first
13212s	trying to come in here trying to land
13213s	this Cal Bloom there we go he's going to
13215s	catch it but every single time the
13216s	hottie has got that F2 back up online
13219s	sha going to half yet again woles
13221s	wangang now being aggressed onto Anders
13223s	if he wants to have a chance to actually
13225s	like win-win this Lobby he has to come
13226s	and help Wang theang out here because of
13228s	the way that Target aggression comes up
13230s	if it's two hotties and him left in the
13232s	lobby verse is going to be the first one
13233s	targeted out here so you see him come in
13236s	and kind of save wangang just a little
13238s	bit verse trying to catch the freeze
13239s	here misses out on Sha needs to be
13241s	careful using that ult we're going to
13243s	see the old invested on the other side
13245s	the fire tick actually going to be
13246s	applied to sha by tt25 verse going to
13248s	take a little bit of fire take damage as
13250s	well tt25 no ultimate left remaining the
13252s	freeze going to come through not quite
13253s	able to connect all no to the freeze and
13255s	capitalize on it ver still wants to keep
13257s	the pressure up nobody wants this fight
13259s	to end he's going to walk into those
13261s	dual hoies though take quite a bit of
13262s	damage wangang trying to set something
13264s	up here he does have a meter so he can
13266s	go for the meter dump there if need be
13268s	verse coming to the edge here with the
13269s	pistol looking to trade some shots T25
13271s	going to walk into a little bit of
13272s	damage wangan coming in onto sha massive
13274s	Perry going on to T2 five the follow up
13276s	the F2 invested yet again these hotties
13279s	always with that F2 up sha going to get
13281s	the Parry but wangang with the F on Liam
13283s	able to get away from it vers going to
13285s	get sent Airborne here as now he
13287s	continues to try to pressure tt25 tt25
13290s	with no UL very very low sha trying to
13293s	cover going to pop the ult here just to
13295s	try to keep the double hotties alive
13296s	here but he's got to be careful how he
13297s	goes in no sha picks up the elimination
13300s	he decides you know what I'm going to go
13301s	ahead and take it I'm in the old might
13304s	as well now verse down below trying to
13306s	demme the hottie here with those pistol
13308s	shots sending them flying where to see
13310s	wangang doing the same sha able to get
13312s	most of a reset unfortunately with no
13314s	ultimate going to be very vulnerable to
13316s	these two players who want to eliminate
13317s	from the lobby legendary Chucks coming
13319s	in we'll see a little bit of the Trigger
13321s	action coming through sha not able to
13323s	find control of the neutral the way he
13324s	wants to those NES providing a lot of
13327s	support here for the cannon from verse
13329s	they want this hottie out of the lobby
13331s	goes in misreads the Parry here shot
13333s	misreads the Parry gets punished but has
13335s	the F2 to break away turns back around
13337s	with the RB on the Dual H the C Bloom
13339s	coming in doing a lot of work here
13340s	wangang picks up the elimination but now
13342s	he's extremely vulnerable here at the
13344s	hands of verse no place to go no
13347s	ultimate online he needs a single tick
13349s	if he can get the freeze here though
13350s	beforehand That's All She Wrote ladies
13352s	and gentlemen it's going to go down to
13354s	fun with Phoenix's verse with eight
13358s	eliminations good lordy good googly
13361s	molyes eight eliminations from verse and
13366s	you know although we would have liked to
13368s	see a few more in he had five in the
13372s	first two minutes there wasn't really
13374s	all that much need to get too aggressive
13377s	as securing that first place finish with
13380s	that many kills already from five he
13382s	could have literally sat in a bush the
13384s	entire game and and as long as he
13387s	secured that first place finish would
13389s	have likely come out on top as the
13392s	MVP but uh hey he was still he was still
13395s	game and he was still looking for a few
13397s	extra unfortunately not able to find too
13399s	many more but still three more taking
13402s	him all the way up to eight kills that
13405s	is going to be a big game that is going
13407s	to be quite a lot of points I think wait
13411s	we had uh didn't drg's F also have eight
13413s	in the previous game it's the first so
13415s	that's going to be another 12 long time
13418s	yes it will be and 12.6 we got to see
13422s	Duos on the pro stage we love the way
13426s	that this final fight devolved out right
13428s	cuz very easily the other hottie could
13430s	have turned in T225 onto GG sha and
13433s	really turned this into a 3v1 scenario
13435s	but he knew his only chance of staying
13437s	alive post that was fighting it out
13440s	working with the other hotti so you
13441s	literally see like teams form and it
13444s	being a very interesting 2v2 we haven't
13447s	seen that on the professional stage I
13449s	believe ever and it works out really
13451s	well for us as viewers right you get to
13453s	see it go but finally we do see GG sha
13456s	c2225 go low he's forced into the
13458s	ultimate he goes you know what I've got
13459s	to take what I can get he sends the
13461s	other hottie out of the lobby and sure
13463s	enough he is immediately turned on to
13465s	the next Target and eliminated but
13467s	speaking of tur it on is something you
13468s	don't want to miss out on this question
13469s	so turn your attention this way how many
13471s	kills it ug Mike getting game number
13473s	four is it a0 B1 C2 or D3 you really had
13477s	to be paying attention to this one if
13479s	you want to figure this one out and make
13481s	sure you get your answers in quickly cuz
13483s	you don't want to miss out on the chance
13484s	to get yourself that summer split random
13485s	gift box indeed you do not and uh make
13489s	sure to stick around that if you are the
13491s	winner you will be added in chat and
13493s	likely whispered on Twitch so keep an
13496s	eye on that as well but th hey we said
13499s	it you know first one's a freebie as
13501s	they get as as with the day goes on you
13504s	know they get a lot harder it becomes a
13506s	lot more difficult to uh to get these
13509s	answers correct but hey back to uh the
13512s	Nora talk and the uh the Duos that
13516s	essentially that took place in that end
13518s	zone and I've talked about this quite
13521s	extensively in the past and
13523s	although it seems rather ridiculous you
13527s	know it is simply the way that solos
13530s	will typically end up going if you're
13533s	talking about a battle royale that has
13535s	characters you know in a different
13537s	Battle Royale where there's no
13538s	characters and it's just whatever you
13540s	find in the world it it doesn't work
13543s	like that however as soon as you do have
13545s	character
13546s	incorporated into the the the Battle
13548s	Royale Design This somewhat becomes an
13551s	eventuality as certain characters will
13553s	do better certain characters will will
13555s	do worse in endgame situations and they
13559s	they end up being forced to do this sort
13561s	of thing to survive it becomes the more
13564s	optimal choice to do things like what we
13567s	just saw so that you can actually give
13570s	yourself the best chance of uh of
13572s	winning or doing the best that you can
13574s	but here we are taking a look at the
13576s	board if you didn't know what the answer
13578s	to that question was it was in fact a0
13581s	unfortunately Mike although he played
13584s	extremely well unfortunately was not
13587s	able to secure a single elimination in
13589s	that game however on the other hand
13591s	verse able to pick up those eight
13593s	eliminations taking him up to 12.6 a
13596s	absolutely massive game from him very
13599s	good to see from him and I'm betting
13602s	he's very happy with that one taking a
13604s	look at the tot stands for the day fat
13607s	milk and unique unfortunately aren't
13609s	playing today and unfortunately did not
13611s	put up enough points on the board to
13612s	qualify however past wangyang Frost ofus
13616s	and exin are all in still are still all
13619s	In Contention to qualify for the
13622s	bi-weekly finals uh taking a look in the
13624s	top 12 right now Chang stanan sha T25
13628s	and verse all in that uh that sort of
13632s	middle six threshold that middle six
13634s	area all six of them are playing today
13637s	as well so everything can change we've
13641s	still got a decent amount of nraa left
13642s	to be played two more games in fact as
13645s	that was only our fourth game of the day
13647s	Mike although he didn't have the best
13649s	game although it's only the only real
13652s	the like game that he's likely going to
13654s	be happy about was his first game of the
13656s	day he's still in top six sitting in the
13660s	in that sixth spot with 37.7 wbg spider
13664s	still sitting at the top Fong looking to
13667s	try and take the top of the mountain for
13670s	himself as it having the most points is
13672s	going to give you the most Advantage
13673s	going into that bi-weekly finals as you
13675s	do take a uh percentage of those points
13678s	and I believe it's not 10% and it's not
13681s	15% I'm pretty sure it's 12 a 12% or
13684s	something like that um of the points
13686s	that you take that you accumulate in the
13688s	group stages that you take forwards into
13690s	the bi-weekly finals but taking a look
13692s	here at these replays sponsored by
13695s	Thunderbolt we've got a lot of uh a lot
13699s	of oiness taking place Frost of us
13701s	taking that realm of Yang win looks as
13703s	though he did was that his I'm not sure
13705s	if that was the second realm of Yang
13707s	replay or if that was off of the first
13709s	realm of Yang but Frost of also finding
13711s	this elimination onto shanan outside of
13713s	the r gang it is still very sad that
13717s	unfortunately the uh I don't know who
13720s	necessarily aggressed the fight
13722s	initially however both past and frost of
13725s	us ended up getting taken down here and
13728s	uh that's not what that's not what you
13730s	want to be doing although past was
13731s	desperately looking for as many kills as
13733s	he could as he'd only managed to get one
13735s	going into that end game you know it's
13738s	it's not the best idea to let yourself
13740s	die in in that situation you don't want
13742s	to be going down just for the the chance
13745s	of getting one more kill it's not worth
13747s	it it's not worth it at all as we very
13749s	well saw he did end up going down Mike
13753s	that uh irritated expression Frost of us
13755s	as well
13757s	that's it's like what is this what is
13759s	what are you guys doing why are we doing
13761s	this why are we fighting you know that
13763s	that's the those are the thoughts going
13765s	through his head right
13767s	now yeah very very interesting way this
13770s	game ended out but it will be verse who
13772s	comes out on top of here in the end
13773s	208,000 damage is fourth MVP of the
13775s	season eight eliminations and 23,000 of
13778s	that damage coming in for melee weapons
13780s	most of it being those dual blades he's
13782s	got the hepto detach the Octo slash the
13784s	uh desperation but most importantly he's
13787s	got that Cavalry Bloom you would think
13789s	with all of those legendary Soul Jades
13790s	right that he would be leaning more
13792s	towards those he' pull the long sword
13793s	out go for that hepto attach maybe the
13795s	OCTA slash there instead and going on a
13798s	pair of dual hiys but that Cav Bloom
13800s	even though it's only a purple Soul Jade
13802s	it's one of those Soul Jades of Destiny
13804s	we talk about not only are you able to
13807s	catch people out because you can change
13809s	the spacing on how that charged lmb is
13811s	coming off of those dual blades but in
13814s	Endzone scenario like this if you're
13816s	able to catch somebody with that Cal
13817s	Bloom you can physically push them into
13821s	the zone and force them to take that
13823s	zone tick and it also sends them flying
13826s	off the end of it it's an absolutely
13828s	huge Soul Jade that allows you to buy so
13831s	much space and play very aggressively
13833s	Duncan yeah absolutely Cavalry Bloom
13836s	it's one of those JS that is extremely
13837s	hard to Parry you know it as you can
13840s	just with dual blades and dual halberts
13842s	it has that mechanic where you you hold
13845s	hold the horizontal focus and you can
13846s	move around with it and then release it
13848s	at any moment however obviously while
13850s	you're running around you don't you're
13852s	not protected by Blue focus in terms
13855s	you're not protected from light attack
13857s	stagger as you are when you normally
13859s	hold blue Focus so it is a little bit a
13862s	little bit dangerous but it creates the
13863s	situation within neutral that you can
13865s	run around hold with it and as long as
13867s	your reactions are on point if someone
13869s	like looks to try and uh and sort of
13872s	cover that distance and break the break
13874s	the B
13875s	and look to try and fade in catch the
13877s	Stagger you can release the focus attack
13880s	and uh and just catch them slipping and
13882s	when it comes to Cavalry Bloom because
13883s	the animation startup for that hold is
13886s	no different from the usual one it
13888s	becomes a a guessing game you know it's
13890s	a surprise Factor when someone just
13893s	randomly throws out Cavalry Bloom and
13894s	you're not ready for it with the spacing
13897s	that you set for yourself yeah
13899s	absolutely and then again the it's so
13903s	utility heavy right being able to force
13906s	players into other positions when you
13908s	when you take a look at this game a lot
13910s	of players come in and look at this game
13911s	and go oh this is this is a fighting
13913s	game there's it's very similar to those
13915s	style of mechanics and stuff and they
13917s	think about those 1 V ones but it is
13920s	still at its core and heart a br game
13923s	and positioning is extremely crucial in
13926s	winning games so being able to
13928s	physically force your opponent into a
13931s	position that is poor for them is such a
13934s	huge advantage and utility to have in
13936s	your kit absolutely I mean even in in
13940s	fighting games there is of course like
13942s	spacing and and and positioning within
13944s	the fighting game you know the the foot
13946s	Seas so to speak but it is taken to a
13949s	very different level in Nora as as the
13951s	as a Battle Royale as you said you being
13953s	able to uh push your opponent into the
13955s	place that you want them to be you know
13957s	you can push them into a corner or off a
13960s	cliff you know in an end zone situation
13963s	you can throw them out of the Zone
13965s	perhaps with that knockback and uh just
13969s	get far more value out of the out of the
13972s	focus attack that you normally would if
13973s	you didn't have that Jade or if you
13975s	didn't look to try and force them into
13977s	that position in the first place so yeah
13980s	absolutely I do agree and it's uh I mean
13984s	Cavalry Bloom one of the Jades of
13986s	Destiny as a reason for it it's one of
13990s	those JS that I'm not really sure
13992s	whether or not it should become a Golden
13995s	Jade I I don't think it should but yeah
13999s	at the same time it doesn't feel as
14001s	though it's a is an epic Jade perhaps
14004s	you know what run you know what there's
14006s	a lot of Jades like this perhaps we
14009s	create a new Rarity of
14011s	Soul perhaps nraa can look into creating
14015s	an entirely new Rarity or keep the old
14019s	Rarities and just make all the gold
14021s	Jades that we have currently into red
14024s	Rarity Jades
14025s	and then turn a bunch of those purple
14027s	Jades that are a little bit too strong
14029s	to be purple Jades but not necessarily
14032s	strong enough to be legendary Jades and
14034s	make them into legendary Jades I think
14036s	that would actually that's big dunk out
14040s	here in the kitchen cooking ladies and
14042s	gentlemen thought of this as we head in
14046s	to game number four here though or sorry
14048s	game number five here no surprises we're
14050s	going to see double Liam picks coming in
14051s	from verse and Chu Jang followed by the
14053s	double kylin picks expected double
14055s	hottie to come in now of course de star
14057s	going to come right in and drop it in
14059s	deg's Fall thinking about it though
14061s	Fong's like am I going to do it I am
14064s	going to do it the double hotti going to
14065s	come in so we're going to see triple
14067s	bands from our first three phases now
14069s	heading into our round four selection
14071s	tt25 GG Shaw tt25 going to be taking the
14074s	Matari but sha wants to come in on that
14077s	Justina pick and freeze up the lobby as
14081s	we get ready to head into our round five
14084s	of here
14085s	selections the choices are getting
14087s	Slimmer and Slimmer but Justina and
14089s	Matari still available Frost ofus got to
14091s	make the decision here Frost is of
14093s	course a big Justina enjoyer when we
14096s	went to Worlds his Justina was one of
14098s	the talks of the town if you will and
14101s	sure enough he's looking to lock that
14103s	Justina pick in and there it is it's
14105s	going to be a three Justina Lobby Mike
14108s	and wangang on that round six selection
14111s	no surprise to see Mike go for Tami here
14114s	a lot of Mike's MVPs this season
14116s	actually come in on this T pick so it's
14118s	going to be interesting to see how it
14120s	goes for him and then the Matari still
14122s	open for wangang and he's going to lock
14124s	that in as we head into our game number
14127s	five we're heading back to hollow Roth
14129s	here and it's going to be very
14131s	interesting to see how things play out
14135s	uh if you were coming in to hollow Roth
14137s	on this game five and you're one of
14139s	those players in the bottom of the
14141s	barrel trying to climb your way up right
14142s	now Duncan do you go and contest Podium
14145s	this early
14146s	on well it depends on the character I
14150s	would say it's it it's probably it is
14153s	somewhat character dependent as a lot of
14156s	characters as some of you at home may
14158s	know scale their abilities scale
14161s	depending on the weapon Rarity that you
14163s	have so for example for kylin kylin's
14167s	damage when he's in his ultimate form is
14171s	scaled depending on the weapon that he
14173s	has in his hand
14175s	when he activates his ultimate so having
14177s	a golden weapon having a very high tier
14180s	weapon early on would be extremely good
14184s	for them it' be a very big Power Spike
14186s	for ayin and for for characters that
14188s	have this interaction same thing can be
14191s	said for hardi the same thing can be
14193s	said for Z although there are no Z in
14195s	this Lobby Z as we saw at Jacob the
14198s	players who were opting to play Z I
14200s	always remember zeld dink was uh was one
14203s	of the ones who who did did this in in
14206s	one of the I can't remember if it was I
14207s	don't think he made it to the finals at
14210s	Jacob I I can't remember exactly it's
14212s	been a long time at this point but one
14214s	of the things that he did do was he
14217s	started going to this Podium on the zic
14220s	every time he was on Z and trying to
14223s	secure that golden weapon and it worked
14225s	very well for him and it's something
14227s	that was picked up by a lot of players
14229s	that if you're able to secure yourself a
14232s	golden weapon early on uh on on
14235s	characters such as Z Hardy kylin you're
14238s	going to have a very big Advantage going
14240s	forwards however as a lot of players
14242s	have now called on to this it becomes a
14245s	lot more of a contested drop at times if
14248s	there are a lot of characters like that
14250s	in the lobby as we can see now wolves
14252s	Wang leang I I didn't manage to catch
14255s	the other the other two players in the
14257s	vicinity are looking to contest this
14260s	drop but looking here we've got the the
14263s	four-way split C
14265s	of these players who I believe are all
14267s	in that bottom six and are going to be
14270s	needing to have a big game in this game
14273s	number five to try and secure their
14275s	qualification into that bi-weekly fight
14278s	yeah wolves like you said Wang Lang
14279s	dropping there on that Podium as he
14282s	wants to secure as much Advantage for
14284s	himself as possible in this match like
14286s	we were just discussing Mike over here
14289s	as well you know Mike on off of a zero
14292s	point game here on to Tami this is one
14293s	of those picks again that he's found a
14295s	lot of MVPs on opening a huge salel onto
14298s	GG sha here with that R&B there off of
14300s	the staff they're going to find a Clank
14302s	there but Mike needs to be very careful
14304s	here Shaw with those purple dual blades
14307s	a huge weapon Advantage for himself here
14309s	into the fight with Mike he will finally
14311s	find a clean intro into the fight there
14313s	tries to go for the slap Mike punishes
14314s	so he's forced to go ahead and pop the F
14316s	here Mike goes for the jump PA but
14318s	completely Miss times it here he going
14319s	to take a lot of damage into an armor
14321s	swap to get more shredded goes for the
14323s	Wisp there unfortunately get the top of
14325s	the Train the Parry is huge for Mike
14327s	here he's going for the followup damage
14328s	needs to go back there we go those
14330s	purple dual blades going to put him in a
14332s	much better situation and then finds a
14334s	blue armor swap as well the aggression
14336s	about to come out heavy here for Mike as
14338s	the advantage shifts heavily into his
14340s	favor he walks into the lmv there from
14342s	the white dagger but it's not going to
14343s	do a lot of damage sha looking for the
14346s	reset Mike going to take the opportunity
14348s	to take one as well Shaw onto the backs
14351s	side of the building here Mike not going
14352s	to give any chances he's going to take
14354s	the full reset he says I want every
14356s	little bit of HP and armor that I can
14358s	get here walks in to the lmbb there
14361s	taking a little bit of damage but will
14362s	return the favor and Shaw again that
14365s	weapon Advantage being heavily in Mike's
14366s	favor now unfortunately Mike gets the
14368s	misread will Clank off the ice but still
14370s	in a great place to whisp through the
14372s	window denies Shaw the option to go
14374s	through sha will find an armor swap but
14376s	immediately sees it shredd it gets the
14377s	freeze onto Mike but Mike has an
14379s	opportunity here if he can get to the
14381s	edge of his wall here there it is he
14382s	gets sent through Shaw no place to go
14384s	but he needs to take this reset before
14386s	he goes for the whsp backs up goes for
14388s	the whs back to the neutral yet again
14391s	both of them going to have to find
14392s	resets here unfortunately Mike no pots
14394s	he doesn't even have small ones here so
14396s	Shaw going to find a huge Advantage for
14398s	himself and Mike wants nothing to do
14400s	with it going for the scalers trying to
14401s	break the ankles here looking for that
14403s	armor swap unfortunately the RNG Gods
14406s	Not on his side this time around he's
14407s	going to lose those purple dual blades
14409s	that he took from shot him again with
14411s	and sha keeping the pressure up here
14413s	there's not much space for Mike to go
14415s	he's trying to hold on to everything he
14417s	can't gets parried again and ladies and
14419s	gentlemen GG sha flips the script back
14422s	onto ug's Mike and secures his first
14424s	elimination of the game you can see the
14427s	frustration on Mike's face cuz that
14430s	Parry came through he knew he shouldn't
14432s	have sent that one or at the very least
14434s	sent it in the opposite direction so
14436s	that there was no chance of it getting
14438s	parried unless a jump Parry came through
14441s	and had uh and he led out on the meleim
14443s	assist coming in and tracking it for him
14446s	unfortunate indeed for Mike as he didn't
14448s	have those uh didn't have those armor
14451s	parts wasn't able to heal himself
14453s	up whereas GG sha did indeed have those
14457s	armor pots and also that's that last
14459s	armor swap that white armor swap just
14462s	before the uh the alt situation came out
14464s	there was very unfortunate for Mike but
14466s	hey he's uh he's definitely been one to
14470s	fully utilize armor swops in the past a
14472s	little bit of a taste of his own
14473s	medicine perhaps but we're heading on
14475s	over to the podium salvation Podium
14479s	drg's Fong is currently being targeted
14481s	by all of these players and I believe
14483s	that that may be simply because he uh he
14487s	does have that golden star he got put in
14489s	a bad spot and had his ultimate forc
14491s	down now as we have three players
14493s	circling around him setting out those
14495s	grapples trying to create the opening
14497s	trying to knock him down and disrupt
14499s	this kiting path that he set up for
14501s	himself however saying that this is one
14504s	of those situ one of those areas on the
14506s	map that is extremely good for King away
14509s	However unfortunately looks as though F
14510s	has made a bit of a mistake ADV verse
14512s	able to catch him and punish that
14515s	mistake finding that scale Rush away and
14518s	picking up that golden staff for himself
14521s	taking him up to three eliminations as
14523s	well verse is gaming right now off the
14526s	back of that eight kill game he's not
14528s	looking to slow down three eliminations
14530s	already in this Lobby Chang now giving
14532s	this power toan Janan does have ultimate
14534s	available but not looking to use it just
14536s	yet as he recognizes he is very likely
14539s	going to be taken down here regardless
14541s	not wanting to waste that ultimate as it
14544s	wouldn't it wouldn't really be all that
14545s	worth it for him in his eyes chuang and
14548s	verse now scrapping it out chuang does
14550s	have alt advantage two charges on the
14552s	oric sword having picked up a soul bloom
14554s	during his ultimate has regenerated some
14556s	of that charge and now had full agency
14559s	to take care of this fight however verse
14562s	recognizing that immediately fading back
14564s	back looking to ice off the pressure and
14566s	disengage able to do so going to be
14569s	heading on over to the shop and picking
14571s	himself up a purple armor from the dark
14574s	tide Rift dealer very happy as now the
14576s	Realms of Yang are going to be coming
14578s	through and he's preparing himself to uh
14582s	to try and accelerate this lead that
14584s	he's gotten himself considering that
14586s	he's found himself that golden weapon
14588s	and is going to be having a significant
14590s	Advantage moving forward yeah absolutely
14593s	now over T Chu Jang here doing just a
14595s	little bit of shopping before these RS
14597s	come forward we see verse sitting in the
14599s	middle here likely the player with the
14601s	ticket looking ahead in as we pop over
14602s	to wolves wangang wangang here needs to
14606s	make something happen for himself so
14607s	he's going to head into this realm of
14609s	yang this is the best opportunity he has
14610s	to take a good clean 1 V one get himself
14612s	an elimination get himself some score on
14615s	the board to potentially start to carry
14617s	him later into the game as we see verse
14619s	here just using this kite path to move
14621s	around here the scale Rush is going to
14623s	buy him a lot of leniency while he waits
14625s	for this 40 seconds to pop so he can
14629s	head into the realm of Yang and you know
14630s	40 seconds doesn't sound like a lot of
14632s	time but it is a long time having to
14635s	kite away from some of these other
14637s	players if you want to make yourself
14639s	into this realm of Yang unfortunately
14642s	for our other player there verse just
14644s	spends so much of that time moving away
14645s	that they decide they don't even want to
14647s	bother trying to fight for it looks like
14648s	maybe they're going to head towards
14649s	another realm of Yang Pac here looking
14652s	head in as well s is one pce to
14654s	eliminations to his name already off to
14656s	a bit of a good start for himself here
14658s	and past has got a lot of work to do he
14661s	would need like two 10-point games if he
14665s	wants to qualify uh to head into the
14667s	bi-weekly final and it's not undoable
14670s	we've seen at pce do it before but it
14672s	looks like it's going to be wangang
14673s	versus SS one's past here two players
14675s	again duking it out trying to climb up
14678s	so they can get that qualification spot
14680s	here in the realm of Yang as things kick
14682s	off Duncan
14684s	they do indeed kick off and we have
14686s	wangang Pac a two of these players both
14689s	of them need to qualify or are looking
14692s	to do so and need to get the ball
14694s	rolling in this game wangang on the
14696s	Matari up against this kylin pick from
14699s	past avoiding that cleave there and
14702s	unfortunately not able to find the
14703s	Stagger there with that F2 as Pace does
14706s	avoid it but does find quite a bit of
14707s	damage now teleport comes through but
14709s	wangan gets punished for it the slash
14711s	comes in Pace doing a little bit of
14713s	damage to that health far but wangang
14715s	does have one more Dash unfortunately
14717s	goes wide paced now no longer does have
14719s	that immunity from the ultimate the
14721s	Clank comes through it does a little bit
14722s	of damage and this the quick chase down
14725s	with that H sword R&B is going to finish
14728s	him off wangang able to secure the realm
14732s	of Yang Victory here and now heading on
14734s	over to ug's mik and fpx verse up
14738s	against each other the tul against the
14740s	Liam both of these players have now
14742s	fully utilized their ultimate Mike
14745s	catches that half charge off of that lmb
14747s	entry verse sends the blue focus into
14750s	the horizontal block Mike sends the
14752s	release No mixup mixup just sends that
14754s	Focus attack goes to the jump Harry
14756s	catches him with it verse does get oh my
14759s	good no M stop it stop it this is
14763s	illegal stop doing two one please please
14766s	stop it look he went and then practiced
14768s	it afterwards after he won the RO stop
14771s	doing it you just stop it stop
14774s	bad mik stop doing the 211 and also
14777s	another thing verse I saw him practicing
14779s	the 211 as he was waiting for that 40
14782s	seconds before the real of Yang as he
14783s	went in you know guys you just stop it's
14786s	not worth it please just do the normal
14790s	combo and it will be better in the long
14793s	run this is this is something that I've
14795s	had gripes with for a very long time the
14797s	idea of doing fancy combos although the
14800s	211 has become very common place at this
14803s	point it is still a combo that
14806s	has it allows for the possibility of
14809s	dropping it you know optimal combos
14812s	optimal uh optimal things in games in
14814s	Nora especially are things that have
14817s	lower like lower chance of failure you
14820s	know if there is less room for error you
14823s	are inherently going to be doing more or
14826s	you're going to be having less less
14828s	situations where it does fail and that
14830s	is always going to be the more optimal
14832s	decision it's just
14834s	there's no there's no there's no
14836s	argument there I don't think quite
14837s	frankly if something gives you less room
14839s	for less room for mistake then yeah you
14842s	know it's it's the better option however
14844s	Mike here does find that 211 he does get
14847s	it but again that would have he would
14849s	have done because he didn't get the
14850s	whole do or the mid Dodge R&B afterwards
14853s	again he would have done more damage if
14855s	he' simply done the light combo he does
14858s	go for that F into the sky there tries
14861s	to find the was onto wangang
14862s	unfortunately doesn't find the
14863s	connection as wangang is able to
14865s	immediately scale Rush away does have F2
14867s	available but this terrain is not
14869s	beneficial but is not beneficial for
14871s	Mike either on this chase down he's
14873s	trying to find it it's very very
14875s	difficult to catch a Matari with a fan
14877s	or a dagger on these towers but Mike is
14880s	making it work he sends the blue wolves
14882s	Wang leang he's not ready for it he does
14885s	get taken down however with that vilon
14887s	birds might it's not the end of the
14889s	world he is not down for the count just
14892s	yet you know it you you given Mike a lot
14895s	of grief for the 211 but as much as I am
14897s	an optimal player speaking of optimal
14899s	Jean Yuan here with a really good
14901s	grapple extension there into the RMB
14903s	unfortunately oh my goodness the jump
14904s	Parry onto Fong as well Fong looked like
14907s	he was in a really good position there
14908s	but jean Yuan turns it around on him
14909s	with the flip the old coming through
14911s	though Jan's got to be really careful
14912s	here he does have that ult in the back
14914s	pocket if things turn sideways there it
14917s	is he's going to go up can he find the
14918s	dash for the DME he's not going to find
14920s	it quite yet he's going to go for the
14922s	grapple refollow up here can he find it
14924s	no he misses it yet again Fong doing his
14927s	best just to stay away he will find the
14929s	hit there gets the dag Fong away here
14931s	the old going to be Ended as well comes
14933s	back in for another one jean Yuan trying
14935s	to keep the pressure the armor swap
14936s	going to come through yeah he just goes
14939s	down below now back to the neutral game
14941s	between these two players JN trying to
14943s	find the lmb there unfortunately oh my
14945s	goodness the dagger for dagger not going
14947s	to be in this favor as we see the
14949s	legendary Soul J it come through jeanan
14951s	with the scale Rush top side wants to
14953s	come up trying to keep falling away from
14954s	that purple set of armor will be able to
14957s	get a little bit of the pot off there I
14959s	do believe no he actually cancels it as
14961s	we cut over it's going to be K's tt25
14963s	and fun Plus Phoenix is verse verse
14965s	going to be taking the teleport there a
14967s	little bit of damage straight away from
14968s	tt25 tt25 trying to break away from this
14971s	though will catch another one onto verse
14972s	verse with that old activation his y T25
14975s	is trying to create the distance there
14977s	verse going to decide it's time to just
14978s	go ahead and take the reset throws the F
14981s	out there he not going to find the
14982s	connection we're going to see wolves
14983s	Wang langang heading over that realm of
14985s	Yang as T25 comes back in you can hear
14987s	the squeaky chicken nuns come through
14990s	the Perry going to come through one old
14991s	charge left there for verse verse taking
14993s	a little bit of damage they going to be
14994s	forced to pop the F now trying to turn
14995s	on T25 and verse in a bad situation
14998s	wolves Wang land gives up the Yang
15000s	potentially to come over he wants this
15002s	elimination on verse he knows he needs
15004s	the points if he's going to make
15005s	something happen here verse trying to
15006s	turn it on to T225 but the fan is too
15009s	much as it comes in and catches him with
15010s	two of the fan RBS wolves will find his
15012s	third elimination of the game look at
15013s	going to make it four on to T225 tt25
15016s	overc commits to this fight a little bit
15018s	with Wolves being here doesn't have the
15020s	ultimate forced to run here wolves now
15022s	coming in he gets a little bit of damage
15024s	there but not enough to stop tt25 from
15025s	making the move he's going to come in he
15027s	says I'm going to invest the ultimate
15028s	this is my opportunity to get a fourth
15030s	elimination goes for the teleport just a
15033s	tick onto him but not quite enough he
15035s	needs to figure out where he's gone to
15036s	there it is ladies and gentlemen the
15038s	overh hold there he needs one more hit
15039s	and wolves Wang Yang will find four
15041s	eliminations he goes to 24 4.5 he still
15045s	got his work cut out for him though if
15046s	he wants to qualify as we head to the
15047s	realm of Yang it's ug's Mike versus ss1
15050s	past it is indeed and Mike is gaming
15053s	he's doing the two onone he's getting
15056s	the damage off so I think he's you know
15058s	he told he said that I'm given him a lot
15060s	of grief you know it's Mike you know he
15062s	knows that if we were if him and I were
15064s	in a room and we're having this
15065s	conversation I'd be like dude you know
15067s	that there's no need no need no need to
15070s	do combo that's that's going to that's
15071s	going to be that's you're going to risk
15074s	failing you know it's better to just do
15076s	the basic combo that has zero chance of
15079s	failing and that you're you're going to
15081s	secure a kill you know in the previous
15083s	game it really meant the difference he
15085s	lost the realm of Yang when he had the
15087s	kill in the bag because he did that
15089s	combo and it dropped it wasn't it was
15092s	the it was the suboptimal choice it is
15094s	what it is and uh you know as
15096s	competitors you know you have to
15098s	recognize this fact you have to look to
15100s	try and do the most consistent thing to
15104s	secure Victory and to secure points and
15107s	uh Mike speaking of securing Victory
15110s	certainly does just that finding the
15112s	kill onto paste he ran the neutral
15115s	engagement at the beginning there he had
15116s	full agency at the start to fully
15119s	dictate the pace of the fight and comes
15121s	out on top but now Alliance Frost up
15124s	against Chang having gotten quite a lot
15126s	of damage onto Chang on the pillar with
15129s	those jump lmbs Frost of is now coming
15131s	on line with that ultimate pulling the
15132s	trigger Chang is going to be using that
15134s	combo breaker to try and break uh break
15137s	away and put a little bit of a space
15138s	between him and frost ofers Frost of
15140s	holding on to those dashes not looking
15142s	to try and send one out without securing
15145s	that Focus afterwards he sends it out
15147s	unfortunately though because of the
15149s	multi- hit from this blue Focus attack
15151s	he was able to reactivate that oric
15153s	sword and now the second one does come
15155s	out but it times out and frost of us
15157s	looks for the second Dash doesn't manage
15158s	to get the confirmation but he's still
15160s	in the driver's seat he's still running
15162s	this yang he's got the full agency to
15166s	chase down chuang carefully patiently
15169s	waiting for the opportunity to jump in
15171s	and do that damage not getting too
15172s	greedy Frost us with the Crouch into the
15175s	Parry very nice Chang now with that
15177s	combo breaker is going to be breaking
15178s	out taking no damage whatsoever but
15179s	there's only 6 seconds left on the clock
15181s	5 4 3 2 take him down now or is going oh
15187s	[Music]
15189s	no so sad to see
15193s	is pain if you've ever had this happen
15196s	to you you know how painful that
15200s	is is bound to be feeling that pain
15203s	right now as we move over to OG's mik
15206s	going head to-head here with SS one's
15207s	paced Mike the legendary armor and staff
15210s	putting in work already a good intro
15211s	into the fight here is going to go for
15212s	the old immediately going to make it
15214s	pretty hard for kylin to maximize the
15217s	efficiency of that all he is able to
15219s	slip through here though and turn things
15220s	back around as Mike goes for the
15222s	followup here Mike going to head back in
15224s	look for the whisper resets going to go
15225s	in for the heel while he has the
15227s	opportunity paced slowly that all going
15230s	to be timing out here so Mike has the
15232s	ability to re aggress onto this fight if
15234s	he wants to just needs to find another
15236s	good intro into the fight and sure
15237s	enough he's going to find some good
15238s	damage Pace already forced to burn the F
15240s	there with the followup here now Mike
15242s	has a massive Advantage into this fight
15244s	here Pace going to take more damage
15246s	stuck in the zone as well with the
15247s	follow-up jump lmb is all he needs Mike
15251s	making it look easy here versus ss1 Pace
15254s	as he finds his fourth elimination of
15256s	the game as we head towards the later
15259s	end this game seven players left
15261s	remaining alive Mike with two legendary
15264s	daggers in the back pocket to back that
15266s	up here we are zone three collapsing
15268s	onto zone four which means we're going
15270s	to see that first set of late games Bain
15272s	breath get ready to come through as we
15273s	cut back to alliance's frost ofus versus
15275s	jg's chuang here both of them with the
15278s	Yang depletion cuz chuang baited the
15280s	fight out for so long versus Frost and
15283s	frost of as you can tell is not happy
15284s	about this situation whatsoever he's
15286s	looking to send him back to the lobby
15288s	and keep his game alive Duncan indeed he
15291s	is and is he going to be able to manage
15293s	it because on this sort of terrain it is
15296s	not going to be easy to hold a player
15298s	down especially when they have a fan in
15301s	hand it is going to make it extremely
15303s	difficult Frost of is still on the chase
15304s	down though the long sword does have
15306s	extremely good mobility and he is still
15309s	chasing him the pressure is immense the
15311s	pulse sword swap to be able to scale
15314s	rush and get all that much extra damage
15317s	if he if need be and at the same time if
15320s	he finds that freeze he's going to be
15321s	able to chunk him down immediately the
15323s	oric sword comes out Frost of takes a
15325s	little bit of damage he is not in all
15327s	that much danger yet however he only has
15329s	a few seconds left on that ultimate and
15331s	in fact instead of chasing this down
15334s	he's instead going to be taking a moment
15336s	to get that full reset and uh
15339s	potentially recharge some of that
15341s	ultimate as
15344s	it's not the best idea to try and
15346s	overcommit in this situation as there
15347s	are plenty of players out there and
15350s	waiting for people to do exactly that
15352s	looking for that third party opportunity
15354s	Chang now getting caught in the zone the
15355s	lmbb into the delayed R&B Focus Frost of
15358s	us finds the kill finds the soul Bloom
15360s	he's going to be cleansing that Yang
15361s	depletion and making it out with his
15363s	life however as I say that there are
15366s	plenty of players lurking around they
15369s	might be able they might look to try and
15371s	focus down Frost of us assuming that he
15374s	doesn't have his ultimate available
15376s	however he does in fact do he does in
15378s	fact do have his ultimate that was
15379s	English uh he does in fact have his
15381s	ultimate available so he's not in that
15384s	much danger for the moment and things
15386s	are starting to settle down yeah this is
15389s	absolutely huge for frost of as he is
15391s	right there on that threshold if he can
15394s	secure one or two more eliminations make
15395s	it the late game here it could be huge
15398s	for him in terms of making that
15400s	qualification happen wolves wangang in a
15403s	very similar situation still a little
15405s	bit of a higher mountain to climb here
15406s	and frost ofis plays this really well
15409s	you know you talked about uh him taking
15411s	the opportunity to back away there and
15412s	you made a really good point as soon as
15414s	the rest of the lobby turn their
15416s	attention onto Chu Jang Frost ofis can
15418s	let the lobby do the work for him right
15421s	he can take this opportunity he can
15422s	reset if he stays out in the open with
15425s	his armor so low and them seeing that
15427s	his old deactivates he runs the risk of
15430s	the attention turning onto him the lobby
15432s	turning to him instead what he does is
15435s	he backs up he plays patiently he knows
15437s	that chuang is not going to give up
15440s	without a fight he knows he has plenty
15442s	of time to get a heal let the lobby do
15444s	some of that work for him before he
15446s	comes in to clutch it up and that's
15448s	exactly what he does he plays it really
15450s	smart and this is something I talk about
15451s	all the time with it you know you see
15454s	players run away very often in this game
15456s	when they get low but it's the players
15458s	who are able to successfully turn the
15460s	attention of the lobby onto somebody
15461s	else by being aggressive Rive and
15463s	getting them low when they least expect
15465s	it that are typically really able to
15468s	break away from those scenarios you you
15471s	have some players who are very quickly
15472s	able to just you know get away from
15475s	fights but very rarely does it happen
15477s	where it's just one player chasing
15478s	another and the player running away is
15481s	able to Escape right you have to get the
15483s	lobby to turn their attention to
15485s	somebody else so that you are not the
15487s	target you cannot be the little fish in
15490s	the big
15491s	pond absolutely right it is
15494s	some people refer to it as just simply
15496s	having Aura you know it's you know when
15500s	you when it comes to the this these kind
15502s	of situations where you're looking to
15504s	not get lobbied yourself and to try and
15506s	get somebody else focused down by the
15508s	rest of the the players in the lobby you
15511s	know you have to play as though you have
15514s	full advantage you have to give off that
15516s	Vibe the aura if you will that you are
15519s	the stronger player that you are the
15521s	player with the advantage so that you
15524s	yourself do not then get focused and
15526s	Mike is one of those players who is very
15529s	very good at doing exactly that just now
15531s	we saw that Mike got hit by a by a focus
15535s	lost about 500 of his of his armor got
15538s	knocked down right next to wangang on
15540s	the Matari and wangang just completely
15542s	ignored him because he was under the
15545s	impression that Fong the person that had
15547s	been was being chased by Mike was the
15549s	one in the you know immediate danger
15551s	could was in the sort of kill kill
15554s	threshold a potentially killable
15556s	threshold so again he was the one being
15558s	focused and Mike
15560s	goes like unnoticed just the no
15563s	aggression onto Mike as there he he's
15565s	just giving off this Vibe where if you
15569s	go for him is not it's not worth going
15570s	for him it's worth going for the player
15572s	that this guy is chasing Mike now
15574s	forcing out this ultimate from the Hardy
15575s	immediately using his own ultimate to
15577s	try and catch Star as he climbs into the
15580s	sky going higher and higher now the
15583s	ultimate does expire extremely quickly
15586s	as when you go too high in the sky with
15588s	this Al you start consuming much more
15590s	rage very quickly the star losing his
15593s	ultimate not able to keep it going does
15596s	end up going down on this Cliff side to
15599s	drg Fong unfortunately for Mike not able
15602s	to pick up the kill himself as well as
15603s	the fact that both of them get hit by
15605s	the moon B no not like this oh my god oh
15611s	poor Mike get done in by the moon Bane I
15615s	mean you know we do see the hottie fly
15617s	off into the moon Bane trying to break
15619s	away there both Fong and Mike dive in
15622s	that's the risk you take but
15624s	unfortunately for Mike it is Fong who
15625s	comes out on top this time and that does
15628s	come down to complete RNG that is one of
15630s	those situations where it is just feels
15633s	bad bro wolves wangang coming up top
15635s	here both him and Frost ofis getting
15637s	closer and closer to that threshold four
15639s	players left remaining alive Frost ofis
15642s	if he can clean up the rest of this
15643s	Lobby might actually finally break in
15646s	and be able to move into that top 12 to
15649s	qualify for the bi-weekly this season
15651s	John Yuan wolves wangyang down below
15654s	wanglang still a big climb to make but
15657s	because he has four eliminations already
15659s	he does have the potential if he picks
15661s	up three more eliminations here cleans
15663s	up the rest of this Lobby uh with that
15665s	multiplier on top of it to actually
15668s	Skyrocket as well and make it happen but
15671s	it's going to come down to the next kill
15672s	here will it go to frost this will it go
15674s	to wangang or does it go to somebody
15676s	else in the lobby we're going to cut
15678s	back and take a look at the replay here
15680s	you can see the Bane hitting both of
15681s	them out here Fong trying to come in and
15683s	look at this there it is the very TI toe
15686s	poor Mike's face there the Bane comes in
15689s	and tickles his big toe for the cleanup
15692s	and again that is truly a feels bad that
15696s	is where the Bane suffers the most
15699s	wolves wanglang down here breaking away
15701s	able to get a couple of resources off of
15703s	the body here using that legendary soulj
15706s	just to buy some space here on the side
15708s	of these buttery rocks this is a very
15709s	interesting final Circle by the way we
15711s	talk about The Buttery rocks all the
15712s	time and these are some of the most
15714s	buttery of rocks when it comes to nraa
15716s	Duncan they certainly are and I'm
15719s	thinking now that as it's going to be a
15721s	Cliffs side end game that whe whether or
15724s	not these players have a pul sword or a
15726s	great sword in their inventory as quick
15729s	tip you know if you're on this kind of
15731s	terrain P sword and Gra sword although
15733s	it's not necessarily the fastest scale
15735s	Rush as that title goes over to dagger
15738s	and fan it is by far the most damaging
15741s	and if you do catch someone with it you
15742s	are going to be uh chunking them out
15745s	significantly as well as it also knocks
15748s	the person back very very far and I do
15750s	believe that Frost ofus who is currently
15753s	still alive does have a golden pul sword
15756s	in his inventory one oh my goodness
15759s	going for the heal immediate 180 jump
15763s	onto that Focus attack very very nicely
15766s	done negating some of that pressure that
15768s	is being put onto him but not for very
15770s	much longer Fong takes up the mantle
15772s	looking to reagg Janan in a dangerous
15774s	position no stamina trying to disengage
15777s	goes to the uh the side of the cliff
15779s	trying to use these dagger lmbb focuses
15782s	to stay airborne but it's not working
15784s	for him it's extremely hard to stay
15787s	alive here shanan does take a hit but
15789s	Frost ofus coming in with that pulle
15791s	scale Rush did didn't I say it rude I
15794s	said it the the the scale rush comes in
15797s	but Frost ofus in fact opting to swap
15800s	over to the dagger to try and use it to
15802s	scale Rush upwards as quickly as
15805s	possible and get this reset off he might
15807s	drop down and try and grab that pul
15809s	sword in a moment but we'll have to wait
15810s	and see as especially considering that
15813s	we're going to have to see where this
15814s	Zone goes does it go up the cliff or
15817s	does it go down to the flat because that
15820s	is going to make the biggest different
15822s	move different moving forwards Frost
15825s	ofus now with that purple armor the odd
15827s	one out so if you will is definitely
15830s	going to be the one Focus potentially
15832s	here however wangyang has a different
15835s	idea he's heading over to the hardi as
15837s	he knows the hardi is going to be a
15839s	menace in that end zone with that
15842s	ultimate Frost ofus immediately jumping
15844s	onto the Matari forcing out that
15845s	ultimate not looking to play favorites
15848s	and go for this Hardy as he knows that
15851s	he actually doesn't have a problem with
15852s	hard going into this end game yeah
15854s	absolutely not wolves Airborne here
15856s	trying to use the grapples just to stay
15857s	up as much as possible we're going to
15859s	see Fong turn his attention over to
15861s	frost ofus because of it frost ofus
15862s	doing his best to stay alive but that
15864s	purple armor being a little bit of a
15865s	detriment here the final zone is
15867s	collapsing here on the top side of the
15869s	cliff there we go absolutely huge damage
15872s	for Fong there off that legendary Jade
15874s	Frost has tried to get the ult up but
15876s	unfortunately he dashes in there and a
15878s	Falls victim to drg's Fong Wang langang
15881s	here trying to break away but he gets
15882s	his toes tickled doesn't matter where he
15884s	goes down no he holds on for dear life
15886s	he actually will come in get that
15888s	multiplier but the game is going to go
15890s	to drg's Fong he's going to be walking
15894s	away for your no wait hold on maybe I
15896s	lied no it does it goes to woles wangang
15899s	he does find that fifth elimination oh
15902s	my goodness wanglang here with the first
15905s	place finish the question is is it frost
15907s	ofis or is it wanglang who move into the
15910s	12th Place position we're going to have
15912s	to wait and see based on the multiplier
15914s	cuz I do believe that's five
15915s	eliminations for wolves Wang Lang and
15917s	that puts him dangerously close and so
15920s	is alliance's Frost ofus he is indeed I
15925s	I don't want to I don't want to say
15926s	anything just yet as it's not decided
15930s	however I do believe that Frost ofus may
15933s	not have made it in off the back of that
15935s	it's he's extremely close extremely
15939s	extremely close but I don't think that
15941s	that was enough points to get himself
15943s	into that top
15945s	12
15947s	what the camera just going to him he
15950s	looks right into the lands and Just
15953s	[Laughter]
15955s	Smiles oh myness you love to see
15959s	it we we talk about Wang Lang we're
15961s	talking about one of the original oers
15963s	right his season one the very first
15966s	season of pro league wangang just wanted
15969s	to fight man I remember him playing
15970s	teada nunchuks this dude took every
15974s	fight he did not care it was all gas no
15978s	breaks and you'll love to see it it's
15980s	really bit of return to Old Wang leyang
15983s	if you will I feel like post that first
15984s	season heading into Worlds and stuff
15986s	Wang leang kind of disappears out of
15989s	that conversation even a little bit at
15991s	the beginning of the year here but
15992s	coming into this season Wang Lang back
15995s	to being that demon who is just like I
15997s	will take fights I do not care and he
16000s	does it really well too he doesn't do it
16002s	to his own detriment like we see some of
16004s	these other players do he's just able to
16006s	keep the aggression going and making
16008s	things happen and speaking of keeping
16009s	things going we're going to move right
16010s	on into our next answer for Treasure how
16013s	many players chose hottie in game number
16015s	five is it a zero B number one C two or
16018s	D number three I'm going to give you a
16019s	hint we talked about this during the
16021s	hero selection phase so I hope you had
16023s	your ears open cuz that will give you
16026s	your answer here and your chance to win
16028s	that Summers split random gift box
16030s	indeed and make sure to keep an eye on
16032s	The Whispers And the ads within the chat
16035s	so you don't miss out if you do happen
16036s	to be that lucky winner but back to uh
16039s	back to the the games the the games that
16042s	we've had what a series so far honestly
16045s	it's it's game number five it it's just
16048s	it's it's flown by it's so much so much
16051s	a great you know hey time flies when
16053s	you're having fun and we certainly are
16055s	having fun here aren't we run it's it's
16058s	been an excellent series a pleasure to
16062s	watch and cast and uh hey it's not over
16065s	just yet we've got one more game coming
16068s	through and it's going to be the decider
16070s	will frost of us be able to make it into
16073s	that top 12 has wangang in fact already
16076s	made it into that top 12 we will be
16078s	taking a look at those standings very
16080s	shortly I imagine as uh we're all dying
16084s	to know we're all dying to find out who
16087s	has made it in and uh Hey I just I I I I
16091s	want to know I
16094s	give to me give give me the we need to
16097s	speak it is an absolute pleasure to have
16099s	you back on the cast desk with me on
16101s	solos you know at heart I'm always the
16103s	trios player that's where I shine and
16106s	still continue to play but it's always
16108s	great to have your Insight here in solos
16109s	as well Duncan and here we go we're
16111s	going to take a look Wang leang with
16112s	those five eliminations in a first place
16114s	finish he going to get himself a game
16115s	score of nine this is crucial for him
16119s	they're they're bleeding us dry here by
16121s	the way Duncan this scoreboard great we
16123s	need to see the overall scoreboard we
16124s	need to see did wangang climb the
16127s	impossible wall he was at the bottom
16130s	just before last game he has absolutely
16133s	been putting in the work he is hungry he
16135s	wants to qualify and I mean man he has
16137s	had an impossible task to do today I I
16140s	hate to gripe on one of our other
16142s	players cuz Kai baau a phenomenal player
16144s	he's been with Wolves for so long but he
16147s	did not leave Wang leang an easy task
16150s	today six points over for six games has
16153s	made it very hard for wangang to climb
16157s	this leaderboard and qualify for team
16159s	Wolves yeah absolutely and yeah as you
16162s	said it is it's nothing against Kow he's
16165s	been an OG for a very long time but yeah
16167s	it did not make it easy but look at that
16170s	Wang leang doesn't make it in literally
16175s	I I we're going to cut to the the middle
16177s	six in a
16178s	moment so so close Frost of us also extr
16182s	extremely close going up to 28 action on
16184s	24 Pac on
16186s	21.5 all four of these players are
16190s	fighting to the very last scraping their
16194s	way in wait 29 wait wasn't he on wasn't
16196s	Wang leang on 21 29 as well yes so
16200s	they're both tied but chuang will be in
16203s	the position above because he's done
16204s	more damage Duncan which means if you
16207s	are ti on
16209s	points uh it's it's either kills or
16211s	damage I can't remember yeah I think
16213s	it's I think kills take priority and
16215s	then it's damage though I think I'm not
16217s	100% sure we'll have to find out but
16219s	yeah no you're right
16221s	it's it is so tight now the thing is is
16223s	chujang is still playing today right so
16226s	for him to come through he is got to
16229s	fight for his life in this next game
16231s	Star though on The Chopping Block as
16233s	well star needs to be very careful these
16235s	other two players are only two points
16237s	behind him those two players being Frost
16239s	ofous and of course our boy Wang leang
16242s	so the these four players here right
16244s	around the qualification line are going
16246s	to be coming in and have got to be very
16248s	careful there it is by the way dear G
16249s	Fong finally overtaking wbg spider for
16253s	that first place with a total points of
16257s	60.1 God damn he is uh he's certainly
16261s	having a good day 28.6 so far and you
16265s	know his first day
16267s	31.5 an absolutely immense performance
16270s	coming out from him this second day that
16273s	he's playing you know hey depending on
16275s	how this uh this game six goes could
16277s	potentially break his uh his record from
16280s	the previous day and take him even
16283s	higher and that's certainly is
16285s	definitely what he wants as it's going
16287s	to give him another maybe a point or two
16291s	moving forwards into the bi-weekly
16292s	finals but here we are taking a look at
16294s	these replays from the game verse able
16297s	to uh to catch Fong on his Escape not
16301s	allowing for the Escape here and taking
16304s	him down into this in this realm of Yang
16306s	as well
16307s	wolves I was about to say wolves KY
16309s	wolves wangang taking down that kylin
16313s	and chasing him with that hang sword R&B
16316s	very nicely done and here coming in for
16318s	this third party with those fan rmbs
16320s	eliminating that player heading on over
16322s	to Mike in the realm of yang this was uh
16326s	this I well I will say this was a very
16329s	dominant performance from Mike in that
16330s	realm of Yang and then here we have
16333s	somewhat of a a rematch catching him
16335s	with this uh this R&B focus and just
16338s	dictating this the pace of this fight he
16341s	uh he he definitely did a very good job
16343s	of mitigating the ultimate entirely from
16346s	that kyin as he was able to catch him in
16348s	the ultimate unfortunately not able to
16349s	finish him off immediately but still
16351s	coming out on top and then here Wang
16353s	leang in the very last moments able to
16357s	stay alive having had just a little bit
16360s	more health and there's the smile I was
16362s	talking about you know it reminds me of
16366s	that sort of cat emote that that
16368s	everyone has on their 7 TV I swear to
16371s	God it look exactly like it but here we
16373s	are looking at the stats for Wang leang
16376s	in from that game number five
16379s	13 almost well 13.8 th000 damage coming
16383s	through 3K from the spear almost three
16387s	from the fan and then a little bit from
16389s	the cannon not too much damage but then
16391s	again you know if as long as you are
16395s	killing people and taking them down with
16398s	with precision and and taking them down
16401s	quickly you know you're not going to be
16403s	accumulating all that much damage a
16405s	person with full purple armor and full
16407s	health is only around 2,000 HP so you
16411s	know it's not that much as long as
16414s	you're taking them down quickly and
16417s	decisively and that was certainly the
16419s	case for Wang leang here able to pick up
16421s	five elimin in that game and uh get all
16425s	that much closer to qualification for
16427s	the bi-weekly final it's it's very very
16430s	close we this is one of the the closer
16435s	game number sixes that we uh that we're
16437s	going to be uh we're going to be having
16439s	here but for the moment we are going to
16441s	be going over to a short break before
16443s	game number six so go get your snacks we
16446s	will be right back for our final game of
16449s	the day
16451s	[Music]
16459s	w
16460s	[Music]
16484s	[Music]
16499s	w
16506s	[Music]
16513s	[Applause]
16519s	[Music]
16521s	[Applause]
16525s	[Music]
16536s	you
16545s	[Music]
16547s	oh
16549s	[Music]
16576s	[Applause]
16581s	[Music]
16607s	hello and welcome back ladies and
16609s	gentlemen after that very short break
16611s	we're going to be jumping into our final
16614s	game of the day very soon and it's uh
16617s	it's All or Nothing go hard or go home
16620s	for these four players sitting in that
16623s	bottom six bracket for the moment
16625s	they're going to be fighting their
16627s	hearts out to make sure that they get
16629s	their their seat in the bi-weekly finals
16632s	at the uh on Saturday on Saturday in
16635s	fact in two days and not tomorrow
16637s	tomorrow is the final day of trios group
16640s	stages and then after that we've got the
16642s	solo bi-weekly finals for this bi-weekly
16645s	and then the day after is trios it's
16647s	solo trios solo trios um but hey I'm
16651s	very excited to see what we're going to
16653s	what we're going to be blessed with in
16655s	this final game perhaps uh you know if
16658s	there was ever a time to pick tuck
16660s	morile fireflies is that
16666s	game it's not it's not horrendous at the
16669s	moment to be fair no but it's not the
16672s	most optimal no I think TKA is one of
16674s	those Heroes right now you could come in
16676s	I think Turka would be just like a
16677s	consistency game right you come in you
16680s	go hot and heavy out of the gate on a
16681s	firefly map you look to secure like
16683s	three or four kills early and then just
16686s	make the most out of the rest of the
16687s	game that you possibly can cuz early on
16689s	it's pretty easy for you to find those
16691s	solos and G M that t really wants
16693s	especially when Yang is up and available
16695s	for you as well uh but once you get past
16698s	Yang the game just gets exponentially
16700s	harder for Tara going forward so I I
16703s	don't I I wouldn't hate to see a Tarka
16705s	at all I love me some Tara coming in I
16707s	don't think it would necessarily be a
16709s	bad pick now if you're in those in those
16711s	four range where you're like two points
16713s	between those four players whether you
16715s	qualify or not I don't know if you pick
16717s	T at this particular game but for some
16718s	of other players
16720s	absolutely well I I I don't know if I
16724s	agree with that I think that although
16726s	Tara is in on those Firefly Maps
16728s	especially you know you can make
16730s	something happen early on with fireflies
16732s	however even with your ultimate you know
16735s	you can still get very effectively kited
16739s	by a lot of characters and by simply
16741s	just just simply the existence of
16743s	terrain can just mitigate your pressure
16746s	considerably so although yes I do agree
16749s	you should try and get at least one
16751s	maybe two kills early looking to go for
16754s	that realm of Yang fight is actually I
16756s	feel like more of the priority as in
16759s	that in the realm of Yang you have the
16761s	opportunity to to have your isolated one
16764s	versus one fight and against quite a few
16766s	of the characters that are being picked
16768s	up at the moment you can do pretty well
16771s	you know taka in fact does he he only
16775s	has a few problem matchups at at the
16777s	moment and then the rest of them are
16779s	either only slightly T favored or you
16782s	know a bit of 50/50 you know it's it can
16785s	go both ways and those being you know
16787s	taka does do does have slight advantage
16791s	against uh Tessa for example especially
16794s	in the realm of Yang outside of the
16795s	realm of Yang not so much because Tessa
16797s	can kite very effectively especially if
16799s	they've got their hands on a dagger or a
16801s	fan and they have a building to work
16802s	with uh Matari within the realm of Y as
16806s	long as you don't hard lose the initial
16808s	neutral you can uh you can uh very
16812s	easily just
16813s	completely uh completely 100 to zero her
16816s	with an infinite potentially or or even
16818s	not you know you can play you could
16821s	somewhat play a little bit of the
16822s	neutral but it is a bit dangerous
16824s	considering uh depends on the weapon
16826s	that they have at their disposal however
16828s	things like Hardy kylin are certainly
16833s	problem matchups for taret you know
16835s	Hardy just negates almost all of the
16838s	pressure unless you completely win
16840s	neutral early it's going to be tough
16842s	kylin as well even if you do win neutral
16845s	initially actually uh actually just
16848s	taking him down and finishing the kill
16850s	off because of kylin's immunity during
16852s	his ultimate becomes extremely difficult
16855s	and finding that opening even when he's
16856s	in an Al is in his ultimate can be
16858s	extremely hard so I I don't know but
16861s	getting the ball rolling with taka
16863s	although you call it a consistency game
16866s	I would say that it can of course be a
16867s	consistency game if you're able to get a
16869s	few kills early however if he gets the
16872s	ball rolling and he gets extremely
16875s	stacked he can pick up quite a few kills
16877s	in early mid game and somewhat in the
16881s	transition to end game as long as he
16883s	wins the realm of Yang if he loses then
16885s	he's completely cooked but if he wins
16889s	then uh that is certainly quite a uh
16892s	quite a good um you know accelerant for
16895s	takka but
16899s	oh our boy is happy going be in the T
16903s	pick here and Johan Yan one of those
16906s	players in contention to fall out of uh
16909s	favor here and potentially not qualify
16911s	he is one of those four players so the
16913s	taret pick does come through our boy
16916s	Duncan comes in on solos and wills it
16919s	into existence ladies and gentlemen
16921s	Frost us pick it as well come on Big Dog
16923s	I want to see it I want to see it buddy
16927s	you know what would be an interesting
16928s	pick to see I would honestly love to see
16930s	like a wuen pick come through it's been
16932s	so long since I've seen a good wuen in
16934s	solos Frost is though going to be
16936s	locking in the hottie cuz it is
16937s	available and I can't blame him if
16939s	you're round six selection and Hotties
16941s	available you absolutely take this pick
16943s	especially cuz Frost ofus was the player
16946s	who went to CN last year doring world
16949s	and showed the CN Pros hey hottie is a
16951s	viable hero I remember I remember
16954s	everyone was everyone in China didn't
16956s	seem to think that hardi was good I all
16959s	of us from outside of China who went to
16962s	China for for Jacob we were all of the
16965s	opinion that hardi was extremely good
16967s	and then when we got there all of the
16971s	the CM Pros were of the opinion that he
16973s	wasn't all that good at all and frost
16976s	ofus uh May them aware that that was not
16980s	the
16981s	case he he took the old Fly Boy to
16984s	scrims and Cen changed their mind very
16986s	quickly and here it is ladies and
16988s	gentlemen we're going to be taking a
16990s	look at the abilities I don't see see
16991s	any surprises uh realistically across
16994s	the board here um some F2 V2s on the
16996s	justinas F1 V2 on the oos here I think
17000s	AOS really like the f1's really nice I'm
17002s	kind of moving in favor of that F2 I've
17006s	seen a lot of things happening with it
17008s	and players just really being able to
17009s	extend some good combos out and find a
17011s	lot of value off of it and we're going
17012s	to see Mike uh clearly agrees with me as
17015s	he's going to be running the F2 into
17017s	this Lobby on his ao's pick as well
17019s	Duncan o
17024s	um I'm excited for this game I am very
17027s	very excited
17029s	I thing is we've seen Jan Yuan pick up
17031s	tarer quite a few times unfortunately
17034s	though as we can see right here his
17036s	average points being 1.8 they have not
17039s	gone all that well for him however that
17042s	being said I do believe that he's picked
17044s	tker on quite a few different Maps other
17047s	than morile Firefly and if you're going
17050s	to pick Taka morile Firefly is the one
17053s	to go for peroria Firefly is also all
17056s	right it's it's decent but morile is
17059s	typically the better choice as you uh
17062s	it's just it's just the way the map is
17064s	the the terrain situations the open
17066s	space and also the the the the pois
17070s	being you know not too far away from
17072s	each other so that in certain situations
17074s	where you have to disengage and you have
17076s	to run away you can do so if you make it
17079s	to those pois you know you make it to
17081s	cele estra you're kiting for days if
17083s	you've got something if you've got
17085s	something like a dagger or a fan to to
17086s	scale Rush away with you know it's going
17088s	to be hard to hold you down as it would
17090s	be for any character so definitely the
17093s	map to pick up taka on but we will have
17096s	to wait and see how things go moving
17098s	forwards for the moment we're taking a
17100s	look at Wang Le's loot path off the
17103s	start of the game and over to jdg chuang
17107s	and T225 in close proximity to each
17109s	other along with verse as well nobody's
17113s	oh actually as I was about to say that
17114s	no one's maned to get their hands on
17115s	anything too too ugly TD5 has found
17119s	himself a pair of purple fist plates
17122s	that's what you want off the rip if
17124s	you're if you're in a Solo game you want
17127s	some purple fist blades as they are
17129s	going to be uh netting you potentially
17131s	the most value early on however T do5
17135s	having having said that he's going to be
17136s	getting a lot of value out of these fist
17137s	blades does take quite a bit of damage
17139s	initially from
17142s	first having used that F1 to give
17144s	himself that damage reduction negating
17147s	quite a bit of this incoming damage5 now
17149s	on the Run we use that F F1 to keep hold
17153s	of those purple fist blades and not take
17155s	all that much damage does get grappled
17158s	after but no immediate followup just yet
17161s	oh here we go as move over to wolves
17163s	wangang OG's Mike on the receiving end
17165s	of some big pain here he is able to find
17168s	the armor swap going to take some more
17169s	damage here wolves wants this
17170s	elimination desperately this one
17172s	elimination would go ahead and bring him
17174s	into qualification he's not going to
17175s	find it though it's going to be sha he's
17177s	hungry though going to come in trying to
17178s	turn it onto sha he throws that fan R&B
17181s	just a little too much we saw in the
17182s	last game he threw it back to back three
17184s	times there he's finally going to get
17186s	punished for here from GG sha might be
17188s	over punish as the Liam commits the
17190s	ultimate and now wolves super low
17192s	doesn't have the old charge yet there it
17194s	is the kylin AL going to pick up that
17196s	elimination and now wolves wangang
17199s	doesn't have the safety net of that
17200s	early game Resurrection under his belt
17203s	here so he's got to be very careful he
17206s	knows he needs some eliminations here to
17208s	get onto the board and stay on the board
17210s	but he also has to play around te star
17212s	jdg is Cho Jang sha here really really
17215s	low though may have overcommitted with
17217s	the UL here now though he finds a huge
17219s	combo onto Pace with the downhill
17221s	there's nothing Pace can do and sha
17224s	secures his third elimination of the
17227s	game what a what a catch though he takes
17230s	the ever slight little bit of damage
17233s	from that half charge and he takes a
17235s	prio in the fight juggling him down the
17239s	hill very very nicely done he redirects
17242s	the combo as well I believe he goes
17244s	behind him deliberately to make sure
17246s	that he can juggle him down the hill and
17248s	catch the uh the full combo and we got
17251s	the the fight between Frost ofus juanan
17254s	and exan Frost ofus being the Target in
17257s	this situation does get the Parry onto
17259s	Janan but Janan immed medely using that
17262s	ultimate and looking to try and chase
17263s	him down on top of that he immediately
17266s	ran over to the Firefly grabbed it and
17269s	now has plenty of time on his ultimate
17271s	to play with interestingly Frost ofus is
17274s	actually on V1 Hardy with the cube as
17277s	opposed to V2 which we typically see in
17279s	solos and drops down the cube outside of
17282s	that building and then goes on through
17284s	creating a situation where Janan was
17287s	going to struggle to chase him down as
17289s	if he chases through the building Frost
17291s	ofus will simply be able to use the cube
17293s	to get to the other side and uh it will
17296s	prevent him from being able to chase him
17297s	down fully now we've got an engagement
17299s	between wolves chuang and T225 Rune
17304s	who's coming out of this one alive as
17306s	it's looking pretty dangerous for T25
17309s	yeah chujang on the hunt here with that
17311s	hotti ultimate activated he's just got
17313s	to get the read unfortunately he doesn't
17316s	have the read on T5 this is what we
17317s	talked about players coming into
17318s	celester there's so many ways so many
17320s	different p that you can take while
17322s	breaking line of sight sometimes it can
17324s	be extremely hard to chase these players
17326s	down but wolves wangang is still on it
17328s	and wolves here getting really
17330s	aggressive considering the white armor
17332s	here and the fact that he doesn't have
17334s	the safety net but he knows he has got
17336s	to put points on the board to make
17338s	something happen here to qualify Frost
17340s	is going to get froze out here by bad
17342s	action Frost of is still in it still
17344s	does have the resurrection Rost is
17345s	likewise though going to get parried
17347s	here unfortunately that said he is able
17349s	to get a sword back up but wolves
17350s	wangling going to come in looking for a
17352s	huge combo here he's going to and look
17354s	for the freeze here Frost ofis 3% away
17357s	from Al un fortunately W not able to
17359s	catch him just yet he does get the
17360s	freeze though before Frost ofus can get
17361s	the hold up and woles will secure the
17364s	elimination Frost ofus though hope still
17366s	alive he does have his early game
17368s	Resurrection now wolves though did he
17370s	overcommit does he sell himself short
17372s	here cuz he is qualified right now but
17374s	only by a single point if he gets
17377s	eliminated here it opens the door very
17379s	easily for tuang or for AIS to Reelin
17383s	him from qualification so wangang got a
17386s	lot of shoving to do here inside
17388s	celester using this Temple to break some
17390s	ankles as much as humanly possible
17392s	players lose line of sight of him and it
17394s	looks like he's going to get the reset
17395s	he wants ver in the kill feed here going
17396s	to pick up the elimination on to pace
17398s	and that's going to send Pace completely
17399s	out of the lobby which means Pace does
17401s	not qualify for the grand
17404s	finals that's so sad to see past having
17407s	been the bi-weekly solo champion in the
17410s	previous bi-weekly does not qualify into
17414s	this bi-weekly finals very sad to see
17417s	and is bound to be weighing heavily on
17420s	his mind and his mental now that the you
17424s	know off the back of that it can it can
17426s	be really rough however you know it is
17428s	it happens very regularly someone who
17431s	who who ends up succeeding in in a very
17434s	like to to a great extent you know by
17437s	either winning the a bi-weekly final or
17440s	just by doing it extremely well in a
17442s	game it it can be it can get to your
17444s	head it can be like you know you can be
17447s	you can be one of those people who it
17449s	like helps you once you've done well you
17451s	you start feeling yourself you start you
17452s	know the adrenaline's pumping you're
17454s	feeling really good you're feeling
17455s	confident however there are a lot of
17457s	people who also when they get to that
17459s	state they're uh in a very bad spot as
17461s	the pressure just gets to them and they
17463s	they feel as though they need to perform
17465s	to try and uh represent the fact that
17467s	they didn't just get lucky or something
17469s	for example but in this situation right
17471s	now we're in a very very dire position
17473s	wangang is literally one HP the alt
17476s	comes through the dash comes through
17478s	uses both immediately to try and
17480s	disengage he's going to look to try and
17482s	get a reset off try and heal up his
17484s	health but this is not looking good for
17486s	him he is in a position to kite
17489s	extremely well and effectively as there
17492s	are so many little nooks and crannies
17493s	within this Temple makes it extremely
17496s	hard to uh to find players if they cut
17499s	noise and uh yeah it looks as though
17502s	Wang leang may have locked out and he
17504s	may have bought himself time that he
17507s	needed to get that reset Frost ofus
17509s	grappling in goes for the hold Dodge
17511s	past him verse eats the Parry from the
17513s	nunchucks doing all the damage in one
17515s	hit verse now in a bad spot no armor to
17517s	speak of less than a full HP Frost ofus
17521s	is on the Chase he needs these kills if
17523s	he wants to qualify this is looking
17525s	pretty scary for verse as he does not
17529s	want to get taken down here he wants to
17531s	get as many points as he can Frost of us
17533s	though he needs this elimination Rune
17536s	and it looks as though he's not going to
17537s	be able to find it yeah this is what we
17540s	talk about with celester we head in the
17541s	realm of Yang te star versus K T225 tt25
17544s	getting absolutely blitzed through here
17546s	by the kyin the old on Liam active but
17549s	unfortunately doesn't look like he's
17550s	going to have the blades available to
17552s	keep it going star taking a lot of
17554s	damage here but he is going to actually
17556s	go down as the old times out at the
17558s	perfect time for T25 to pick up the
17561s	elimination here with those purple fist
17563s	blades he's going to take the armor swap
17565s	from the box as well and secure himself
17568s	a legendary dagger as we get ready to
17571s	head into zone two collapsing on to zone
17573s	three in the next minute and 45 seconds
17574s	we're going to pop back over to frost
17577s	ofus and verse going head to-head yet
17579s	again verse a little bit of an advantage
17581s	into the fight here Frost ofus able to
17583s	find the armor swap Into the Blue here
17585s	trying to break away doesn't want to
17587s	overc commit to this fight here he knows
17590s	he has to keep his game alive at the
17592s	bare minimum if he is going to end up
17596s	qualifying here for the biweekly is
17598s	verse now trading blows of T225 giving
17600s	Chase here with the grapples first on
17602s	the backside here with the fan using it
17604s	for the movement here as we see T225
17606s	very aggressively taking a line here at
17608s	first he is not slowing down for
17610s	anything this purple fist blades really
17613s	strong for him he's able to come in he
17614s	avoids the fan here he will M time the
17616s	Perry though verse going to find some
17617s	good cleanup the Perry comes through
17618s	there from verse T225 with the F though
17620s	on on Liam able to just break away from
17622s	that keep his weapon in hand as well
17624s	scale Rush coming in the fist blades in
17626s	with the grapple into the jumping lb as
17628s	well verse now topside trying to break
17630s	away as he's the one on the back foot
17632s	here using this building to break line
17634s	of sight here not a lot of places you
17636s	can cut noise though but a armor swap
17638s	will do him a little bit of good till
17639s	most of that armor completely Stripped
17641s	Away Now stripping the armor from T225
17643s	both of them looking for another control
17646s	of the neutral here F invested on the
17647s	side of T225 you going to see F coming
17649s	in from burst he will landed getting
17651s	some of that damage reduction looking to
17653s	come in in the back pocket if he really
17656s	wants to pressure this kill but he's
17657s	going to decide to come back pick up
17659s	that purple armor so he's not at a
17660s	disadvantage in terms of armor before he
17663s	looks to continue the fight as we head
17664s	over to GG Shaw ug's Mike Mike trying to
17667s	find an entry into this fight with that
17669s	F2 onto sha not quite going to get there
17671s	sha though with the ult still ticking up
17673s	Mike looking to make something happen
17675s	we're going to see one of the charges
17676s	coming through there Mike with these
17678s	legendary dual blades here with it
17680s	really Tomb Raider skin still continuing
17682s	the chase here Shaw's going to find his
17683s	old ending here Mike trying to come in
17686s	will find a huge R&B there off of the
17689s	dual blades there doing a ton of damage
17691s	there onto Sha Sha gets juggled downhill
17694s	and ug's Mike finds his third
17696s	elimination of the game as he goes head
17698s	to-head now with drg's Fong he does
17701s	indeed and Mike is just the goat on his
17704s	AOS it's his anchor pick we see him do
17708s	this all the time he just always finds
17711s	the ability to perform extremely well on
17715s	his AOS pick every single time however
17718s	as I say that is not looking too good
17720s	he's up against drg's Fong who's just
17722s	sent two backto back focus R&B's and he
17726s	is going to be taken down with that
17728s	kylin ultimate but hey OG's Mike he did
17731s	have that vilon birds M he's not going
17734s	to be going down just yet he still has
17737s	that Spirit form that he's going to be
17738s	going over and resurrecting himself Rel
17740s	relatively soon potentially preparing
17743s	himself to go into the next set of
17745s	Realms of Yang wangang now finds this
17748s	finds this opportunity try and engage
17751s	onto drg's Fong as Fong does not have
17753s	his ultimate available definitely an
17756s	optimal un optimal moment to try and
17759s	take a fight wangang recognizing that
17762s	F's trying to make it over to where the
17763s	Firefly spawns and he does in fact get
17765s	it Fong now does have ultimate wangang
17768s	having sacrificed all of his armor to
17770s	try and get this kill and try and take
17772s	advantage of this ultimate not being
17775s	online is now in a very bad position
17778s	trying to disengage trying to find some
17779s	more of reset forcing out that combo
17781s	breaker from Fong Wang leang now finding
17784s	the moment finding the chance to heal up
17787s	is immediately going to be looking to
17788s	Grapple away heading right on over to
17790s	where Frost of us is waiting at this Ram
17791s	of Yang going to try and run right past
17794s	him and hope that the that drg's F does
17798s	not look to chase him down as he he
17801s	might be enticed by the realm of Yang
17804s	and certainly is here as he's trying to
17805s	get Frost ofus out of here but Frost
17807s	ofus 37 seconds here with those
17810s	nunchucks this is a favorite weapon of
17811s	frost you know we talked to him in an
17813s	interview at Worlds and he felt like the
17815s	weapon was kind of underrated and we do
17817s	see very often now many of these players
17820s	who have turned favor towards the
17821s	nunchucks here in the solo play for
17824s	professional play Frost ofus able to get
17826s	a little bit of a reset here he doesn't
17828s	have to fully reset here he just has to
17830s	keep it alive for another 14 seconds so
17832s	he can go inside he will burn the
17833s	ultimate here as well so he can just
17835s	chill out inside this Yang portal all he
17838s	has to do is go touch the very middle
17841s	here in the next 4 seconds he'll get his
17843s	ult reset full heal everything and sure
17845s	enough Rost is going to do exactly that
17848s	more than happy to deny it there and get
17851s	himself into the real of Yang looks like
17852s	it's going to be ugi's Mike versus fun
17854s	Plus Phoenix verse in one R of yangang
17855s	T225 and frost ofis in the other as we
17858s	get ready to head in Frost ofis on the
17861s	blue nunchuks blue musket here T225
17864s	though with I I do believe that's a
17865s	legendary dagger there in his back
17867s	pocket Frost of is going to be pretty
17869s	behind in terms of the weapon here but
17872s	he does have those NES again this is one
17874s	of his very favorite weapons the F2
17876s	being invested immediately as we see the
17878s	lmb trying to come in from tt25 we're
17880s	going to see the trigger come through
17881s	with the immediate followup this is one
17883s	of the things that we talk about being
17884s	so good with the nunchuks being able to
17886s	get that follow up off of the trigger
17888s	unfortunately that's all he gets he gets
17889s	a Parry but it is Liam though so that
17891s	Perry not going to do him a lot of good
17893s	here feeling forced to burn the ultimate
17895s	already looking for the reset as we see
17898s	so many range shots coming in from
17899s	downtown Frost of is trying to get a
17901s	reset before he goes in here he is not
17903s	on that V2 so he does not have that burn
17906s	tick available to him he's got to make
17907s	the most of this reset as he can going
17909s	to throw the cube down as well before he
17911s	starts to come in and make something out
17913s	of this here he's going to get a little
17914s	bit of TI damage there onto T225 but
17916s	T225 that old burning now this is smart
17919s	plays here by FR using the cube to get
17921s	away the F or sorry the Parry coming in
17923s	here Frost going to be forced to use the
17925s	F to get away now Frost with the Parry
17927s	as well but T225 with the Liam f as well
17930s	T225 doing his best just to chunk down
17933s	Frost ofus but Frost ofus finds two
17935s	three rmbs off of the fan here T225
17938s	going to find himself in the same boat
17940s	that Frost ofus is Frost ofus coming in
17942s	hot here they have 30 seconds before
17945s	this real of Yang times out and frost
17946s	ofus desperately needs this he F coming
17948s	in Miss times the Parry but he's able to
17950s	avoid the lmb there from the dagger with
17953s	a skin of his teeth he needs one more it
17955s	goes in the next control of neutral it
17957s	goes to whoever can fight it frost oh my
17961s	God takes
17965s	it oh my God that was one of the
17970s	most oh that was one of the most awesome
17974s	fights to watch truly that that was top
17979s	tier nraa right there truly the I
17981s	there's just nothing left to say it
17983s	speaks for itself you
17986s	saw
17987s	how how intense fight was the mixups the
17991s	no mixup mixups the the multiple fan
17994s	R&B's being sent out there it's h T25
17998s	not believing that he's going to send
18000s	that Focus attack it just oh my
18004s	goodness truly a spectacle yeah Peak
18007s	nraa is what that is when it comes to
18009s	solos man that was was such a great
18011s	fight that one's for the record books
18013s	for sure over to ug's mik now trading
18015s	blows here with te star the F2 coming
18018s	through here not going to find the intro
18020s	he wants into the fight off of it but
18021s	he's able to find some damage here off
18023s	of these du blets oh my goodness and
18025s	there it is RKO out of nowhere ladies
18028s	and gentlemen the man comes in with the
18031s	dagger picks him up and sends Mike
18035s	flying oh my
18037s	goodness oh my goodness it's getting so
18040s	ugly Rune this is getting extremely
18043s	close Frost ofus with Yang depletion
18046s	zero eliminations needs to find quite a
18050s	few kills if he wants to fully secure
18053s	his qualification into this bi-weekly
18054s	final here but for the moment we're
18056s	taking a look at this engagement between
18058s	Mike Star Verse uh I think there's one
18062s	other person looking around T225 there
18064s	he is with that golden armor and the
18066s	buff te star trying his best to stay
18069s	alive it's not being made easy at all by
18074s	all of these players trying desperately
18076s	to find those extra eliminations that
18078s	they want it oh oh oh my goodness we cut
18082s	away just as that that just as that
18084s	potential situation happened the dagger
18087s	lmbb Focus could very well have clipped
18090s	star on that scale Rush when he was
18092s	looking to disengage but fortunately he
18094s	is able to make it out in time before it
18097s	comes through and stays alive does find
18099s	a moment to heal up is still alive and
18103s	kicking although he is uh oh wait no I
18106s	as I say that he's immediately getting
18108s	aggressed on but again manages to break
18111s	line of sight not looking to cut noise
18114s	and heal just he's going to be healing
18117s	it's very very intense there's so many
18119s	players lurking around if he Ops to heal
18122s	he immediately reveals where he is to a
18125s	a player close by T225 now taking it
18127s	upon himself to try and chase him down
18129s	star scale rushing upwards trying to use
18132s	the building to his Advantage the
18133s	terrain is making it easier for him to
18135s	kite but considering the number of
18137s	players in the vicinity it is not very
18140s	easy overall he is still being chased
18143s	down Frost ofus finds him going to be
18145s	looking to try and uh and catch up to
18148s	Star as he's also been found by verse
18150s	star up against The Buttery rocks it's
18153s	not going to be good if he stays down
18155s	there he does manage to break away he's
18156s	going up he does find the white armor
18158s	swap armoring through he's he's still
18160s	alive Frost of us now using his ultimate
18162s	to try and confirm this elimination he's
18164s	going to look to try and claim this kill
18166s	star scale rushes up makes it to the
18168s	building tries to scale Rush again but
18169s	not able to do so the F comes out the
18171s	combo break Frost ofus loses his
18173s	ultimate immediately by the third party
18176s	Chen coming in with that that halbert's
18178s	R&B Focus making it extremely difficult
18180s	for frost ofus to stay on the chase down
18183s	and now the cube comes out and he's
18184s	going to be forced to disengage this is
18187s	oh this is ridiculous Rune this is rough
18190s	this is so unbelievably rough bro trying
18193s	to make it happen here everybody
18195s	overstaying here as we go into Zan four
18197s	as well meaning that first late game
18199s	Baines breth going to come through and
18200s	drop right on the head of all of these
18202s	players and it takes
18205s	tose everybody overstay of the fight TJ
18208s	gets hit as well this is what we're
18210s	talking about with these main bre
18212s	sometimes when these players get locked
18213s	in on that fight locked in on that
18215s	elimination the Bain breath can come in
18217s	this is the decision made by the lobby
18220s	star now in such a tight position if INF
18223s	Frost ofus can find elimination if he
18225s	can go in and get one of the Soul blooms
18227s	that just went down inside the B bre he
18229s	can keep his game alive oh my goodness
18232s	we watch one two pop and frost ofis here
18234s	28 seconds there's still a soul Bloom
18237s	available out there Frost ofus needs to
18239s	find it instead he's going to try to
18241s	turn onto one of these fights here and
18243s	it could spell disaster Frost you need
18245s	to go look for that Soul Bloom it's on
18247s	the field baby unfortunately he's got 40
18249s	seconds left remaining he's looking for
18252s	anything he can Frost of is fighting to
18254s	keep the game alive and he decides he's
18256s	going to go out on his own terms looks
18258s	like ladies and gentlemen no he's going
18260s	back in 30 seconds left Frost said we
18262s	don't go out that way we go out fighting
18265s	boys and girls looking to come in here
18267s	on the kyin this is going to be a hard
18268s	fight for him to take here but he's
18270s	going to go out fighting if he goes out
18271s	at all
18272s	Duncan oh my God I'm so sad I'm so sad
18278s	he's sending all the R&B he knows it's
18281s	over he knows it's cooked he's not
18284s	killing Fong here there is no chance the
18287s	Yang depletions ticking down and frost
18289s	of us is going to go down oh it's so sad
18294s	it's so so sad again just just barely
18299s	falling short of bi-weekly final
18302s	qualification literally two points away
18305s	two points is all that he needed to be
18308s	in that top 12 spot but but he just
18311s	can't manage it it just it is just not
18313s	in his favor and he gets taken down by
18316s	the Yang depletion especially after the
18318s	fact that for him to have had that Yang
18320s	depletion in that Yang fight it was such
18323s	a close fought fight between him and
18326s	T225 so unbelievably well played from
18329s	both of these players but unfortunately
18331s	just barely just barely gets eliminated
18335s	and it is what it is Frost of us hey it
18339s	is is what it is Buddy wangang in a
18343s	difficult situation right now though
18344s	speaking of which wangyang he is tied
18347s	with chu Jang but because chuang just
18349s	got an extra elimination there even
18351s	though there one elimination each in
18353s	this game I do believe Chu Jang has more
18355s	eliminations over all for this by-weekly
18357s	so wolves Wang leang is not currently
18360s	within qualifier range is there's no way
18363s	he lets this sck out on himself right oh
18365s	my goodness I thought wolves was going
18367s	to let that happen there now in a worse
18369s	position as 's Mike comes down on the
18371s	AOS pick and WS doesn't have ult
18373s	available he used it to get away from
18375s	this earlier fight and Mike knows it so
18377s	he's going to keep the aggression
18378s	rolling here and yet again the late game
18381s	Baines breath is going to come in and
18382s	cut off most of the space that wangang
18384s	has here to escape unless he wants to go
18387s	surfing Mike trying to come through the
18389s	F2 no and wangang also doesn't
18393s	qualify oh the pain oh these two players
18397s	Wang langang and frost is trying so hard
18400s	they get so close yet so far
18404s	Duncan I'm
18406s	depressed I'm I'm very sad right now
18409s	this is this is truly heartbreaking for
18412s	these players they fought their hearts
18415s	out and it just wasn't to be it wasn't
18418s	to be frost ofus and wangang Ean and
18422s	past are all fully eliminated none of
18425s	them are going to be making it to the
18426s	bi-weekly final thankfully for chuang he
18429s	is safe now there is no way that any of
18432s	the players whove been eliminated could
18434s	get any more points so he is in fact
18437s	safe for the bi-weekly finals he is in
18441s	and uh now we're just playing for the
18444s	points going to see if we can get as
18447s	many points as possible to carry
18449s	forwards into to the bi-weekly finals as
18452s	I think about 12 1 half% of the points
18454s	you accumulate in group phase carries
18457s	forwards and every little helps every
18459s	small
18460s	every Point can make the difference
18462s	especially with this match point uh rule
18466s	set that we now have being implemented
18468s	in in these final settings looks as
18471s	though Mike has been aggressing onto
18473s	this kylin forcing out that ultimate and
18476s	now is trying to disengage somewhat
18480s	struggling though he's taking a lot of
18481s	damage the rest of the lobby recognizing
18484s	it as well Mike fading in looking to try
18486s	and uh catch this Parry not able to do
18489s	so responds with with with an R&B focus
18492s	on those dual
18493s	blades icing off this pressure di F
18496s	though on five kills trying to stay
18498s	alive but not able to do so does go down
18500s	to Mike Mike going to pick up another
18503s	elimination taking himself up to five as
18507s	well and now we're left with three
18509s	players alive T225 Mike and um and
18515s	choing oh my goodness what a game this
18518s	has been this has been heart wrench
18520s	Duncan oh my goodness Chang here caught
18522s	in the RMB there off the sa forced to
18523s	use the F2 to break away goes for the
18525s	scal rush trying to get away here Mike
18527s	goes in with the F2 though Chu Jang
18530s	still holding on to the ult here needs
18532s	to look for a reset before Mike comes
18534s	through and stops and sure enough Mike
18535s	is going to come through Chang going to
18536s	be forced to pop the ult here in a very
18539s	difficult position trying to break away
18541s	here doesn't want to drag T225 into the
18544s	fight as well knowing how low he is here
18546s	but needs to get the attention away from
18547s	himself speaking of which there's T225
18549s	juang coming through here with the V2
18552s	opting to go for that fire tick damage
18554s	just trying to turn the attention onto
18556s	anybody unfortunately he is going to Dem
18558s	here as the ult comes to an end and T225
18560s	going to keep the pressure up a huge
18562s	Parry though but it doesn't matter T225
18564s	with the F but he finds immediate Rec
18565s	control of the neutral and makes it
18567s	matter as he does a ton of damage on to
18570s	T225 and Mike sees it wants to come in
18573s	the ult going to be sending Mike flying
18575s	here as he looks to go for the reset top
18578s	side is is chuang who is without old
18580s	Mike knows it so he's going to come in
18582s	and look to turn things his Direction
18584s	T225 with the bow shots from the top as
18586s	well knowing the players vulnerable Mike
18589s	trying to get control onto chujang will
18591s	catch the scash into the F2 the F2 going
18593s	to be invested on chujang now the
18595s	uppercut coming through but might going
18596s	to get canceled out here by T225 T225
18599s	finds the uppercut on to chujang CH Jang
18600s	and FL Mike comes in finds control with
18602s	the R&B the huge Perry from chuang but
18605s	the follow up from T225 the RKO comes in
18608s	it keeps chujang from getting the follow
18610s	up of his own now tt25 looking to come
18612s	in with that uppercut does catch him off
18614s	of the ceiling and there he goes ladies
18615s	and gentlemen CH jang's down it's T225
18618s	versus ug's Mike it is indeed and both
18621s	of these players want to take this dub
18623s	for themselves cg25 getting caught by
18625s	the lmb into the uppercut no huge
18627s	followup due to that little sign post
18630s	getting in the way Mike now popping that
18631s	ultimate pulling the trigger on that
18633s	this cool down looking to try and
18635s	confirm this kill as fast as possible
18637s	T225 did not have ultimate to begin with
18640s	but will soon have it catches him on the
18642s	end of his combo break with the tiger
18645s	grab I'm not sure if he if he intended
18648s	that or if he predicted the combo break
18649s	coming through but still catching that
18652s	there that was a magnificent play from
18655s	Mike and it looks as though it's just a
18657s	formality at this point the storm stride
18659s	is going to come through and eliminate
18662s	him and Mike is going to be coming in
18665s	with game number six
18667s	MVP to end on of the day he he book
18671s	ended the day with MVPs first game MVP
18676s	final game MVP bro what what an
18680s	emotional game of nraa that was that was
18683s	a roller coaster my friend it really was
18687s	I I I oh you see the the look on Chen's
18691s	face here he I think he
18693s	was yeah he's Brea he's breathing a sigh
18696s	of I'm not okay I'm not okay Five Points
18701s	Five Points is all that separates me I'm
18703s	in I'm
18705s	good I think at the very end I think he
18708s	he wasn't he didn't know if he qualified
18710s	or anything like that you can see the
18712s	look on his face that he was so sad or
18715s	he was uh he was not looking very happy
18717s	but he he then he then the the
18720s	realization as the camera panned over to
18723s	him he knew that he did in fact manage
18725s	to to to make it in but oh
18731s	yeah we haven't seen a qualifying round
18733s	like this in a long time usually going
18735s	into game six we kind of know who is
18738s	qualified and there's people who like
18740s	they have a shot right but it's it's
18742s	pretty drastic how far away they are
18744s	from it they have to have like one of
18746s	the most amazing games they've ever had
18748s	in their career to make it happen so the
18750s	odds are very very low going into this
18752s	game we had four players we had two that
18754s	were qualified above the 12 Mark and two
18757s	under and all four of those players were
18760s	within two points of each other meaning
18762s	this last game was so crucial for all of
18765s	them and man they were put through the
18768s	ringer in this one from Frost's
18770s	incredible fight in the realm of Yang
18773s	that literally just comes down to an
18776s	instant between him and T225 wangang
18780s	gets the kill that he needs to bump up
18782s	but then chuang gets a kill and because
18784s	of chujang having more eliminations
18786s	during the bi-weekly slipping in front
18788s	of him and and all he has to do is outs
18792s	survive ju Jang but unfortunately he
18794s	gets targeted down by the lobby and it's
18796s	Mike who comes in and eliminates him
18798s	right there I'm sure when he goes and
18800s	looks at the scoreboard after this he is
18802s	screaming if you're wangang right now he
18805s	had such a crazy Hill to climb because
18810s	of only being at six points from Kai
18812s	Ba's earlier performance this week the
18814s	fact that he gets so close has got to be
18817s	so heart-wrenching and then Chu Jang
18819s	like you said said in the end the look
18821s	on his face is just one of defeat he's
18822s	like there's no way I didn't make it in
18825s	and then his coach comes over and tells
18826s	him hey you made it in 0. Five Points
18828s	and he just the relief washes over the
18831s	man's face just
18833s	oh he he gives himself one of them Goose
18836s	fraas you know what I'm saying he just
18838s	brings it in locks it down chuang does
18841s	qualify but man this is when you see
18844s	some of the best nraa it's absolutely
18847s	insane and that's why we see that crazy
18849s	fight between tt25 and frost ofis inside
18851s	the realm of yang right Frost ofis
18853s	playing his heart out but here you go
18855s	ui's might going to be your MVP this
18856s	game secures a first place finish seven
18858s	eliminations for game score of
18860s	11.4 oh my goodness what it's it's crazy
18864s	to me that Frost of us didn't get a kill
18866s	in that game as well you know he just he
18871s	tried so hard from from start to finish
18874s	you know the beginning he was caught
18876s	caught between Shuan Yuan and uh another
18880s	player I can't remember who it was uh
18882s	out just just uh just outside of
18885s	celestra forced to try and go into
18888s	celesa to use it as a kiting position he
18890s	manages to make it away and then there's
18893s	a fight between him ex it was action
18895s	action and Janan and then Janan goes
18898s	down to action but Frost ofus had been
18900s	involved in the fight I'm not sure if he
18902s	was the initial aggressor or not but Ean
18905s	picks up the kill Frost ofs couldn't get
18907s	it and then he gets focused down Wang
18909s	leang turns up commits his ultimate
18912s	takes him down in a in a really bad spot
18915s	the scale rush into weapon pickup that
18919s	had been dropped by Frost ofus into the
18921s	combo it was just rough it was such a it
18924s	was such a hard situation and then the
18927s	Yang a very hardfought fight that both
18930s	of them deserve to win but unfortunately
18932s	only one could and there and or neither
18935s	in fact if it had gone down to to to no
18938s	time but regard we are taking a look at
18940s	the total standings for the day drg Fong
18943s	is going to be a top the Tower with his
18947s	666 total points taking forwards 8.6
18951s	points into the bi-weekly finals spider
18954s	7.6 wufong 7.2 Mike with seven orano
18957s	with 5.8 and ver with 5.7 moving
18960s	forwards oh oh my goodness I'm I'm
18964s	emotional that was emotional yeah right
18967s	right there we got to take a look back
18970s	though to some replays here from game
18972s	number six brought to you by Thunderbolt
18974s	Fong coming here picking up multiple
18976s	eliminations early on here with this
18977s	kylin all now Shaw turning things around
18980s	here on to paste in this early game
18983s	things looked pretty desperate here for
18985s	Shaw but this right here look at this he
18987s	tanks the damage to go in gets that
18989s	combo down the hill and once you lock
18991s	somebody into that if they don't have a
18992s	gold Focus to get out that is all she
18994s	wrote you clean up the elimination
18996s	taking a look back there on to Frosty
18999s	Boy
19000s	super sad to see him eliminated the way
19001s	he was as we go into the realm of Yang
19002s	Mike versus jeon Mike super low here
19005s	Mike though able to get that saw this
19008s	yeah oh my goodness absolutely crazy
19012s	this is what I talked about you know
19013s	when we were talking about the hero
19014s	selection the oos picks Mike agreeing
19016s	with me on the F2 I really have become
19019s	an F2 believer Duncan oh I agree I I
19023s	think the F2 is extremely good for AOS I
19026s	I I talked to Raven and I asked him do
19028s	you think
19029s	which one do you think is objectively
19031s	better and uh he he was of the opinion
19034s	that F1 as long as you're neutral is
19037s	very good then F1 is the better option
19040s	however if your neutral is somewhat
19043s	lacking in any Department really F2 can
19045s	be better as it essentially I mean a lot
19048s	of people refer to them as as as neutral
19050s	skips as they essentially hand you the
19054s	opening on your opponent if you use it
19056s	and it lands you know so it thing is at
19059s	the same time I I think that if your
19062s	neutral is already very good then you're
19064s	going to be you're likely going to be
19066s	able to use the F2 to your advantage
19068s	much more and push advantages it just I
19071s	think it does largely depend on your
19073s	play style and uh somewhat the
19076s	characters that you're going up against
19077s	in terms of matchups but hey it's uh I
19081s	don't think there's necessarily one
19082s	that's better than the other I think it
19084s	just depends but hey Mike puts it to
19086s	good use and gets a seven kill game
19091s	23,000 damage absolutely gaming with
19094s	those door blades as well 11,000 damage
19097s	on those with the storm stride in the
19099s	back pocket
19101s	too what a game what an emotional roller
19104s	coaster we've just been through I I I am
19108s	emotionally
19109s	drained I I
19114s	am you know you know oh man we also got
19118s	to talk about you know you about Mike
19119s	book ending the day with MVPs as well
19122s	but that was his sixth MVP of the Season
19125s	which is extremely uncharacteristic for
19128s	Mike you're you're usually talking about
19130s	you know a single bi-weekly the man will
19133s	put up six MVPs so six MVPs for the
19136s	entirety of the Season Mike needed today
19138s	he he realistically for his mental
19140s	heading into the bi-weekly heading into
19143s	by-weekly four uh after this uh
19146s	bi-weekly finals later this week he
19148s	really needs needs to catch some
19150s	momentum to get himself back into the
19151s	head space because after this it is time
19155s	to look to qualifications and time to go
19156s	to world so Mike can't be out of his top
19159s	shape Mike can't be in a bad mental
19161s	state as we pre to had into Worlds
19163s	that's the worst possible space for him
19164s	to be being our reigning Champion so he
19168s	needed today to get himself to that
19170s	proper head space to kick things back in
19172s	and go hey I'm ug's mic you ain't
19174s	stopping me yeah absolutely he's he
19178s	certainly needs the the reup on his
19180s	mental as I I mean even not only in the
19184s	in the bi-weeks but also I believe I
19187s	just watching his vods and and from his
19190s	streams and things like that he's he was
19192s	definitely off off his game for a while
19195s	after the the the blunders early on and
19199s	uh I think it it definitely put a strain
19202s	on his mental going into these uh into
19204s	these series however hopefully he's
19207s	recovering spider certainly seems to
19209s	have recovered considering his
19210s	performance on his two days of solos but
19214s	we only time will tell we will have to
19216s	be waiting until the solo biweekly
19218s	finals which is taking place not
19220s	tomorrow but the day after right here on
19224s	the on the Nora blade Point twitch
19225s	Channel
19227s	but oh my goodness it's it is I I want
19230s	to I I mean past isn't in it so he can't
19233s	win now uh I wonder if it's going to go
19236s	back to either Mike or spider as they're
19239s	they're coming back up from the from the
19241s	sort
19242s	of not so good at least in their eyes
19245s	you know considering their performance
19247s	in the past they certainly will not are
19249s	not happy with their performance so for
19252s	them they are they're they're they're
19254s	annoyed and they want to get that crown
19256s	back for themselves but we will have to
19258s	wait and see there's still plenty of
19260s	players who are going to be playing in
19262s	the bi-weekly finals who certainly have
19264s	a chance uh moving forward I I mean I
19267s	was going to say you you have to look at
19268s	ewg aano uh he's up for my most improved
19271s	player this year he's absolutely come in
19274s	at the start of this season I don't know
19275s	what happened in the off season uh we
19277s	had uh quickup right and he absolutely
19280s	pops off during that and then comes into
19282s	this season he's been absolutely killing
19284s	it his consistency has bar nun been
19287s	better than everybody else's consistency
19289s	this season which says a lot because you
19291s	typically have a player like UGI Mike
19293s	who's just always consistent so a Rono
19296s	is somebody you can't count out usually
19299s	would also be talking about Jean Yuan
19301s	unfortunately he's going into this
19302s	bi-weekly at the very bottom he
19304s	struggled this week but he is a very
19306s	good player who came in this season
19308s	really popped off and showed us a lot uh
19310s	and then you also we got to talk about
19312s	de G's Fong right Fong he has shifted
19314s	gears man he is away from griefing
19316s	players and he is just playing his nraa
19319s	and because of that right now s tippity
19322s	top 66.6 points for this bi-weekly
19325s	absolutely crushing it again we talk
19326s	about five points per game being a
19329s	really strong game the man has got more
19332s	than five points every single game uh
19335s	for this season or for this bi-weekly
19338s	and again bong's done really well this
19340s	season all the way across the board I
19343s	feel like he has shifted that mentality
19344s	he shifted gear he said look I'm done
19347s	griefing Mike I'm done worrying about
19348s	what other people are doing in this game
19350s	I'm worried about me and mine and taking
19353s	home the dub and that mentality shift
19355s	has served him really really well so he
19358s	is going to the man to beat I think
19360s	heading into her bi-weekly 3 well I I
19364s	yeah I struggle to disagree with you
19366s	he's definitely been putting uh been
19369s	putting work in you know I remember the
19370s	old Fong where he were I remember the CU
19374s	the it sticks out in my memory where he
19376s	had a whole bunch of golden weapons in
19379s	his inventory and then he went and sat
19382s	on top of the Gate of the the temple
19384s	celes and dropped them all there and
19388s	then hel on to his daggers in his
19390s	inventory and just dropped a bunch of
19392s	golden weapons you there a gold great
19394s	sword gold whatever you know he just
19396s	dropped them there cuz he wasn't going
19397s	to use them and he I think he did it to
19399s	send a message uh and he certainly did
19403s	it's it's stuck in a lot of our memories
19405s	for a very long time you know there
19408s	there's very little BM between the
19410s	players here in the rocket you know we
19411s	talked about it a little earlier at the
19413s	end of game two where we see the
19415s	camaraderie between these players
19416s	there's a lot of really good
19418s	sportsmanship that goes on here uh
19420s	inside the nvpl between these players
19422s	you know when we were over in China last
19423s	year we got to see a lot of it again
19425s	when they're on the stage they're locked
19427s	in the game all bets are off there's no
19429s	friendships on that stage but as soon as
19431s	the game is over these guys are right
19434s	there for each other man and again very
19437s	rarely do you see BM like that but Fong
19440s	comes in he breaks the mold a little bit
19441s	as a player and says look I am here to
19444s	mess for everybody which is why we see
19447s	him grief players for for so long but he
19450s	is finally starting to learn that hey
19452s	maybe what I'm missing out on is this
19454s	camaraderie maybe I need to stop trying
19456s	to grief other players and just worry
19458s	about what the heck I'm doing and it is
19460s	certainly working out for him I mean
19462s	I'll never forget you know T225 last
19465s	year was right there he was he could
19468s	have walked away the world champion
19470s	there unfortunately Mike eliminates him
19473s	from the lobby and then spider finds
19475s	that next elimination to bump T225 down
19479s	and then we see Mike yet again come in
19482s	he clutches up another elimination and
19484s	Mike skyrockets himself to the top the
19486s	leaderboard off of that by killing
19487s	spider walks away your world champion
19490s	but when he's announced world champion
19492s	rather than immediately walk off stage
19494s	to go take that huge title for himself
19497s	what do you see him do he runs across
19499s	the stage to K's T225 and he gives that
19502s	man a massive hug and lets him know hey
19505s	man you did an incredible job and that
19509s	is a level of sportsmanship you just
19510s	don't see an orts man yeah you you
19513s	really don't I I I I will say though I I
19516s	think fun although he's he's certainly
19519s	he's certainly a little bit of a troll I
19521s	think that he does it with in in good
19525s	yeah yeah it's like it's like your
19527s	friend who will just just grief you like
19530s	a troll and then just laugh and just be
19535s	like and then you just can't help but
19537s	laugh with him even know he's just
19539s	annoyed you it's just it's a little bit
19543s	of banter back and forth but here we are
19546s	taking a look at the players that are
19548s	going to be playing in the bi-weekly
19549s	finals here we've got drg's Fong wbg
19552s	spider X1 wuang ug's Mike ewg orano fpx
19558s	zq verse k225 GG sha j l a i s a e
19565s	juanan t e star and JD G CH Zen I want
19570s	to see more I want to see more fire dog
19573s	from muu one we didn't really see very
19575s	much of it in that game but I want to
19577s	see some more perhaps in the finals who
19580s	knows I mean it is it is different from
19582s	the group stages there are there is the
19585s	possibility that it could be an eight
19587s	game series as opposed to six games
19590s	which we uh which we usually have or it
19592s	could potentially even be less it could
19594s	be four as we've seen that happen but
19597s	we're going to be going over to a quick
19599s	interview to end off the day and we'll
19601s	be we'll be back afterwards for closing
19606s	statements hi guys thanks for winning
19609s	and welcome to the post game am Leah so
19611s	this time we have Frost so please say
19614s	hello to audience first uh hello guys uh
19616s	I'm Frost s from Team Alliance okay such
19619s	a long time haven't haven't saw you on
19622s	our interv well it's like I'm so sorry
19625s	you didn't get into this Times by weekly
19627s	final but you know for for us for all
19631s	the
19631s	audience we thought like frost div
19634s	didn't get into the by weekly final is
19637s	kind of
19639s	impossible so uh also for the first and
19643s	second by weekly competition so we may
19646s	be curious about is there anything
19649s	happened to you or is just because of
19650s	the patch or something else uh first of
19654s	all I I don't really like the current
19657s	state of the game and also the new
19660s	scoring format is also pretty brutal so
19663s	it's very hard uh basically only top one
19667s	matters even if you get maybe four kills
19670s	it doesn't really matter if you don't
19672s	get first place so it's pretty hard all
19675s	case just because of that uh anything
19678s	else that's it what what is there
19681s	supposed to be no I don't know I just we
19684s	I I just want to say like we all want to
19687s	to have a good performance and good
19690s	grade in the competitions so maybe
19692s	there's still like one five weekly
19695s	competition which is the fours by week
19698s	anything any plan for this or for the
19701s	qualified competition uh well right now
19703s	I will focus on lcq first uh but so like
19708s	for the fourth by weekly it's more for
19711s	me to experiment and maybe try other
19714s	things okay so it's I I will focus on
19717s	lcq for
19719s	okay so I just want to say like we are
19721s	waiting for you always okay thank you
19724s	and for the end of the interview uh
19725s	please move on to our answer for
19727s	Treasure okay and this time our question
19730s	is which hero did Alliance Frost use in
19734s	the game six a b Justina C Liam AOS so
