| 952s | ER back but doesn't want to hold out too |
| 955s | long and give Mika the opportunity to |
| 957s | find any sort of reset here Mike finding |
| 959s | work though with the staff here hung |
| 961s | really trying to put in the work with |
| 963s | the dagger though Mike unfortunately |
| 965s | missing that first backstab on the |
| 967s | teleport finds the second one but it's |
| 969s | canceled out by the old |
| 985s | thank you |
| 999s | ended up working out for Kayla as long |
| 1001s | as we turn back here see yeah look at |
| 1003s | this it's the uh perspective here for |
| 1006s | Zhang Yu who picks up both of the |
| 1008s | elimination |
| 1015s | crazy with that Soul scratch going in |
| 1017s | circles over and over |
| 1019s | like turning in circles over and over |
| 1022s | it's because he has his great attack |
| 1024s | Jade and now Jin |
| 1031s | [Music] |
| 1034s | I'm gonna have to wait and see how he |
| 1036s | was how he responds in game three this |
| 1038s | is a quick replay from a little earlier |
| 1040s | action here with the standard grapple |
| 1042s | infinite here gets two gets three onto |
| 1044s | DG Shaw gets four that's massive gets |
| 1047s | five |
| 1055s | now gonna continue to get aggressive |
| 1057s | with the grapple jump L and B's there to |
| 1059s | pick up more damage you to come back |

| 2048s | foreign oh what's going on ladies and |
| 2051s | gentlemen welcome back to the Rock blade |
| 2052s | Point pro league I'm your host and your |
| 2053s | Caster this evening the Rune keeper |
| 2055s | joining is going to be the lovely Dunkin |
| 2057s | Donuts as we get ready to head in to our |
| 2060s | third and a final day of Solas before we |
| 2062s | head into the Bi weekly final and it's |
| 2064s | been a very very interesting week of |
| 2067s | solos some absolutely uh crazy things |
| 2070s | coming out of the week you know wpg |
| 2072s | spider does with wbg's fighter does uh |
| 2075s | during his day one and day two but it's |
| 2077s | actually uh Lucy zhangyu who comes in |
| 2080s | and has a killer performance in his |
| 2083s | first day out during the solos this week |
| 2086s | walking away with a |
| 2088s | 48.2 game score for a single day he |
| 2092s | currently resides in the second place |
| 2094s | after only playing one day the only |
| 2097s | player who's played two days and is |
| 2100s | above him right now is wbg's fighter and |
| 2103s | there's a lot of room for Zhang Yu to |
| 2105s | cover that ground today in his second |
| 2108s | day Duncan |
| 2109s | absolutely zhangyu is looking to take |
| 2112s | the cake for himself today he is sitting |
| 2115s | on that 48.3 points however as we know |
| 2118s | everyone can have a bad day speaking of |
| 2122s | kaibao sadly doing extremely well on his |
| 2125s | first day and then not getting above |
| 2127s | double digits on his second so |
| 2130s | I mean who knows who knows it may have |
| 2133s | been The Stroke of Luck because you or |
| 2136s | maybe he's he's on a roll maybe he's |
| 2138s | coming in today and he's gonna he's |
| 2140s | gonna collapse some cheeks he's gonna |
| 2141s | get oogly boogly but uh we will see I |
| 2145s | mean we're definitely having an oogly |
| 2146s | boogly day today we have the we have |
| 2149s | people such as jiangyu of course we have |
| 2152s | T225 we have Mike we have fun Fung |
| 2156s | sitting on what is it 25 points so |
| 2161s | 25 is is is respectable you know an mbpl |
| 2165s | everyone's everyone's correct you know |
| 2167s | so respectable maybe he can come back |
| 2169s | today bring out a big big day for |
| 2171s | himself maybe 40 points something who |
| 2174s | knows but uh I mean we've all I think |
| 2177s | there's there's a few people who are |
| 2179s | sitting pretty right now who are pretty |
| 2181s | comfortable with their standings they've |
| 2183s | I think they've secured those top spots |
| 2186s | for the uh for the finals so some some |
| 2190s | players definitely not gonna be uh too |
| 2192s | worried but uh there's a few that I |
| 2195s | think might be you know like some of |
| 2197s | these players at the bottom of the |
| 2198s | leaderboard xxy ego |
| 2201s | genuine some of these players where they |
| 2204s | played only one day but they still need |
| 2207s | to come out today and perform make sure |
| 2209s | that they don't choke make sure that |
| 2211s | they don't uh they don't make too many |
| 2213s | mistakes and they play consistent |
| 2216s | um but we'll have to see I'm I'm excited |
| 2218s | to see what we have today I'm not sure |
| 2219s | if we're going to be on a different |
| 2220s | patch than we were last week but uh and |
| 2223s | I can't remember if we saw any a costs |
| 2225s | last week but uh anyway did we do you |
| 2227s | remember yeah so we saw two it goes |
| 2229s | picks uh this last week uh and we should |
| 2232s | we're still gonna be on the same batch |
| 2234s | because it's still um the same bi-weekly |
| 2237s | right so we never changed patches in the |
| 2239s | middle of the bi-weekly for consistency |
| 2241s | but we did see two aqua's picks coming |
| 2243s | through we're gonna take a look at the |
| 2245s | schedule coming up as well right now you |
| 2247s | can see uh who took those bi-weekly |
| 2249s | finals in the bi-weeklies previous of |
| 2251s | course wbg spider with the back to back |
| 2253s | and solos team te uh during the second |
| 2256s | bi-weekly and Jay team with our third |
| 2258s | bi-weekly and we are approaching very |
| 2260s | quickly our fourth bi-weekly this |
| 2262s | weekend and it's going to be interesting |
| 2264s | to see who comes out on top uh in terms |
| 2267s | of that solos a lot of people |
| 2270s | you know looking at wbg spider and aow's |
| 2272s | Mike expecting Mike potentially to come |
| 2275s | in and take it back and spider and Mike |
| 2276s | to have the back to back but there's a |
| 2278s | lot of players still potentially in the |
| 2280s | running to be able to take those |
| 2281s | positions as we do take a look at the |
| 2283s | overall uh leaderboard here you know we |
| 2285s | were talking about this uh previous to |
| 2287s | The Graphic coming up here but you know |
| 2289s | uh xcg's Wang Liang not performing as |
| 2292s | well this week during his day one as he |
| 2294s | did uh during the last bi-weekly so |
| 2296s | maybe he can pull something out of his |
| 2298s | hat coming here into his second day |
| 2300s | there's a player I do want to talk about |
| 2301s | we uh didn't mention though jdg's Chu |
| 2304s | Zhang with a 32.4 quite the respectable |
| 2307s | score for a single day a 30-point score |
| 2310s | line seems to be the average towards |
| 2313s | their top end of players and Chu Zhang |
| 2315s | has been a player that has kind of been |
| 2318s | a bane for some of these top players you |
| 2320s | know we got to watch him absolutely |
| 2322s | obliterate wbg spider uh just before the |
| 2326s | last bi-weekly uh final uh where he |
| 2329s | actually just comes then he's able to |
| 2331s | kill spider I think three or four times |
| 2333s | in the same game he catches him off rip |
| 2335s | uh catches him in the gate of gang |
| 2337s | catches him in the second gate of Yang |
| 2339s | fight |
| 2340s | um and then kills him again uh outright |
| 2343s | just by timing wvg spider out literally |
| 2346s | just griefs him to death uh for the |
| 2350s | entire period of his Yang depletion |
| 2352s | spider every time he tries to lock onto |
| 2355s | somebody he would just come back in and |
| 2356s | keep spider from looking for the kill so |
| 2358s | Chu Jiang is definitely a threat uh |
| 2360s | moving forward here to take a look like |
| 2362s | you said T225 could be playing today of |
| 2364s | course Zhang Yu gonna be playing today |
| 2365s | you know |
| 2366s | Zhang Yu is going to be very interesting |
| 2368s | to watch because this is a player that I |
| 2371s | never ever keep out of the running |
| 2374s | there's a moment I always go back to in |
| 2377s | season one with Zhang Yu where it comes |
| 2380s | down to three players in a final Circle |
| 2383s | Zhang Yu is forced to take the 1v1 with |
| 2387s | another player he ends up killing that |
| 2390s | other player has like two ticks of HP |
| 2392s | left literally if he clanks twice he |
| 2396s | dies he goes into that fight not being |
| 2399s | able to reset because obviously the |
| 2401s | other person was just waiting for the |
| 2403s | fight to end so they could slide in and |
| 2405s | take the scraps from that fight and |
| 2408s | Zhang You Against All Odds clanks once |
| 2411s | in the fight and manages to win the |
| 2414s | fight with no ability or ultimate |
| 2416s | available to him with just like the |
| 2418s | ultimate cleanest comeback you see wins |
| 2421s | the lobby wins the MVP for that game as |
| 2424s | well and ever since the moment I've sort |
| 2426s | of had my eye on zhangyu and he |
| 2428s | typically does have these big performing |
| 2431s | moments this last uh day that he did |
| 2434s | earlier last week the cleanest day we've |
| 2437s | seen from zhangyu in a while I mean you |
| 2439s | you put up almost 50 points on the board |
| 2440s | here in solos and I think the record is |
| 2443s | 52 points for a solos day that was back |
| 2446s | during our last seasons when we had 16 |
| 2448s | players in the lobby that's a potential |
| 2451s | of four more eliminations per Lobby |
| 2454s | across you know six games so for him to |
| 2458s | come in and have a 48 Point day on a |
| 2461s | Lobby that has 14 players and almost |
| 2463s | break back into that 50-point range |
| 2466s | absolutely huge for any player going |
| 2469s | forward so all eyes are going to be on |
| 2471s | him and of course I'm gonna be keeping |
| 2472s | my eyes on jdg's Chu Zhang because again |
| 2474s | he's proven time and time again that he |
| 2477s | knows how to get in the head of these |
| 2480s | top players and make things happen and |
| 2482s | he's in a very stable position at 32.4 |
| 2485s | is a very respect respectable score for |
| 2488s | a single day |
| 2489s | no absolutely right absolutely 40 |
| 2492s | I mean I'm it's kind of mind-boggling |
| 2495s | but bubbling |
| 2497s | to say the least I mean do you happen to |
| 2501s | remember how many kills exactly that was |
| 2502s | because |
| 2504s | that's an insane number of points uh |
| 2506s | like people you must have won quite a |
| 2510s | few games that day okay with having a |
| 2512s | substantial number of kills like oh yeah |
| 2515s | he had an average of eight points per |
| 2517s | game he had three MVPs and in between |
| 2521s | those three MVPs the one game he didn't |
| 2523s | get an MVP he literally missed out on |
| 2526s | being the MVP of that game by a single |
| 2529s | elimination which would have given him |
| 2531s | four MVPs in a single day and he would |
| 2533s | have broken the record for most MVPs in |
| 2537s | a Solo's day |
| 2539s | that's that's that's insane I mean he's |
| 2542s | definitely bound to be happy with |
| 2544s | himself he's down he's definitely gonna |
| 2547s | be he's gonna be feeling himself today I |
| 2549s | think to come away with that kind of uh |
| 2552s | performance on the on his initial first |
| 2554s | day of the of the bi-weekly and then to |
| 2557s | break it on the next day it's it's |
| 2560s | unlikely I mean is this always possible |
| 2562s | you know he might be in his head he |
| 2563s | might be wait did I did I really deserve |
| 2566s | that day did I Really Deserve those MVPs |
| 2568s | I need to come up I need to come back |
| 2570s | today and and show me that that there |
| 2573s | wasn't luck that I that I that I deserve |
| 2575s | these these points that I deserve the |
| 2577s | recognition you know he's it's it's a |
| 2580s | hard it's a hard position to be in when |
| 2582s | you're under so much pressure to perform |
| 2583s | like this |
| 2585s | um but we are going to have to wait and |
| 2588s | see today we are starting off with a |
| 2592s | firefly map I think I uh it's a little |
| 2594s | bit hard to tell I had to examine the |
| 2597s | picture in the in the graphic that we |
| 2599s | had I'm pretty sure that our first game |
| 2602s | of the day is going to be fireflies |
| 2605s | so yeah I do believe it's dusk going |
| 2607s | into the first game on more style which |
| 2609s | means we're probably gonna see a lot of |
| 2611s | those Justina picks uh being locked in |
| 2614s | that we've started to see uh last week |
| 2616s | and the week before that in terms of |
| 2618s | solos especially because it is a firefly |
| 2621s | map right we've seen time and time again |
| 2623s | if Justin is able to land on fireflies |
| 2626s | and get those fireflies it's almost like |
| 2628s | being a Takeda where it doesn't even |
| 2630s | matter if you get your hands on a weapon |
| 2632s | you're able to use that ultimate to stun |
| 2635s | people out lock them down and just clean |
| 2637s | up those eliminations it kind of soft |
| 2641s | buys you a little bit of safety against |
| 2644s | hot dropping into the map and not being |
| 2646s | able to find the weapon you're looking |
| 2647s | for early on because your old is able to |
| 2651s | uh buy you so much ground and give you |
| 2653s | so much coverage and Justina in fact |
| 2655s | actually has a little bit more coverage |
| 2657s | than Takeda whereas decade is able to |
| 2659s | use that old to buy himself that safety |
| 2661s | into neutral not only can Justina lock |
| 2664s | somebody down and get stun out on them |
| 2666s | but if need be and they find themselves |
| 2668s | in a situation uh where they need to |
| 2670s | retreat they have all three of those |
| 2672s | dashes to create a huge amount of |
| 2675s | distance to get away from everybody else |
| 2677s | that is true I that is very true and I |
| 2680s | I'm I've been an advocate for justina's |
| 2683s | versatility |
| 2685s | um using that V1 having those dashes |
| 2687s | it's one of the most versatile ultimates |
| 2689s | it's an extremely extremely useful |
| 2692s | ability however I do have to say I |
| 2695s | because of the fact that Takeda will |
| 2697s | keep his ultimate charge if he doesn't |
| 2700s | actually use the activations of his |
| 2703s | ultimate I do find myself still finding |
| 2706s | that cicada is a bit the safety you know |
| 2709s | like if you're playing Justina |
| 2712s | you'll probably using one dash of the |
| 2714s | red so usually you're probably going to |
| 2717s | have two dashes to get away and two |
| 2720s | dashes although it is quite a long way |
| 2723s | it's maximum maximum around 55 meters or |
| 2727s | something along those lines I remember I |
| 2730s | figured out exactly how long the dash |
| 2731s | was a while back and I'm pretty sure |
| 2734s | it's 28 meters in a one dash and uh |
| 2738s | that's quite far but I mean it is quite |
| 2741s | far but you know that's that's a couple |
| 2744s | of grapples so oh yeah well realistic |
| 2747s | you will be able to get that reset but |
| 2748s | with cicada you pop the old |
| 2751s | and then you just run you can heal while |
| 2753s | with that pressure available to you I |
| 2756s | remember initially Takeda wasn't able to |
| 2758s | heal and throw out one of his ultimate |
| 2760s | activations but then at some point they |
| 2763s | changed that I can't remember when and |
| 2765s | now he can he's very safe he's always |
| 2767s | got that pressure where it doesn't need |
| 2770s | to be like there are fewer conditions |
| 2772s | that need to be met for him to be able |
| 2775s | to do something with it you know Justina |
| 2777s | needs to make sure that you're that that |
| 2779s | when you dash through they're not in |
| 2781s | blue Focus to get the freeze you can get |
| 2783s | the Stagger out of the blue Focus you |
| 2786s | can Dash through a blue Focus Target and |
| 2789s | then immediately cancel the dash with a |
| 2791s | light attack potentially leading into a |
| 2793s | combo and then if you're fancy you can |
| 2796s | go for another Dash in the middle of the |
| 2798s | combo reset it get that freeze get that |
| 2801s | damage you know but it is it is more |
| 2804s | difficult I would say however I do think |
| 2806s | it is extremely versatile ability and |
| 2808s | after the Buffs I mean I've been saying |
| 2810s | Justina is going to be coming back |
| 2812s | absolutely well I mean half the lobby |
| 2814s | here uh proving exactly what I said we |
| 2817s | were going to see Justine is off the rip |
| 2819s | this has sort of been the trend and |
| 2820s | we're seeing seven justina's come in and |
| 2823s | no surprises we're gonna see a lot of |
| 2824s | these players looking to spawn towards |
| 2826s | where some of those fireflies are you |
| 2828s | see uh jjh and bowed out literally |
| 2830s | spawning uh right next to where they can |
| 2834s | grab some fireflies it looks like |
| 2835s | they're trying to grab some blue early |
| 2836s | and move into those sort of firefly |
| 2838s | positions you're gonna see a couple |
| 2839s | players off to the right uh doing the |
| 2842s | same and some of the other players |
| 2843s | looking to pressure uh into those |
| 2846s | fireflies after grabbing gear no |
| 2847s | surprises AWS Mike look at this already |
| 2850s | gonna find a purple long sword off of |
| 2851s | the rip here Mike more than happy about |
| 2854s | that situation giving how popular the |
| 2856s | long sword has started to become in |
| 2859s | solos here especially in the early to |
| 2861s | mid game turning now to J team's action |
| 2863s | who's gonna get frozen out immediately |
| 2865s | uh by TK's uh xxy here and xxy gonna be |
| 2869s | forced to go ahead and burn those JJ |
| 2871s | teams I should know in a really good |
| 2873s | position goes to go in but we're gonna |
| 2874s | see xxy find that purple armor Swap and |
| 2877s | buy a little bit of safety for |
| 2879s | themselves wants to immediately turn |
| 2880s | onto J team's action able to find one |
| 2883s | hit but not able to find the follow-up |
| 2884s | action gonna come in catches the |
| 2886s | uppercut there xxy able to get some of |
| 2889s | that armor back using that F2 there just |
| 2891s | to buy a little bit of space turns it on |
| 2893s | to action action now finding themselves |
| 2895s | in quite the predicament gonna use that |
| 2897s | bubble though here and this is where |
| 2899s | unfortunately Justina starts to fall off |
| 2902s | a little bit in these longer engagements |
| 2904s | versus zeping because zeping that bubble |
| 2906s | comes back on such a short cooldown and |
| 2909s | you're able to use it to take control of |
| 2911s | neutral just standing here on the other |
| 2912s | hand looking to find the F back will |
| 2915s | find it back going to walk in to the |
| 2917s | charge left click there from the dual |
| 2919s | blades on the action gets a little bit |
| 2921s | of the armor back though after coming |
| 2923s | out of that f |
| 2924s | perfect timing for xxy here as that |
| 2927s | ability comes back from the cooldown |
| 2928s | goes for the uppercut unfortunately |
| 2930s | misses it due to terrain action finds |
| 2932s | the Perry and that's gonna be it for xxy |
| 2934s | holy moly he was so close too clutch to |
| 2939s | get up there I'm not sure if he didn't |
| 2940s | have Vitalia or what but he chose to |
| 2942s | heal his armor even though he's got F1 a |
| 2945s | bit of a blunder if he did in fact have |
| 2947s | that Vitality available but it's |
| 2948s | possible he didn't Mike here now caught |
| 2951s | between two players having about 60 to |
| 2953s | 70 percent of his ultimate available not |
| 2956s | really uh looking to take this fight |
| 2958s | since he's lacking those uh lacking that |
| 2961s | armor he eats a huge blue Focus for Wang |
| 2964s | Liang shredding off that entire armor |
| 2966s | but is able to pick it back up again |
| 2968s | with his F1 manages to catch him with |
| 2970s | the r b on the long sword a very tricky |
| 2973s | attack to avoid but he does get taken |
| 2976s | down sadly by by taking a considerable |
| 2979s | amount of range damage what was that |
| 2982s | Wang Liang happy with himself not |
| 2984s | getting his kill stolen away by shenuan |
| 2986s | here Shen Yuan bro |
| 2990s | you're running Fireball |
| 2993s | into a Justina game I'm I I have to |
| 2997s | disagree I you it can be done but I am |
| 3001s | uh I have to disagree my friend we are |
| 3003s | back now on to action versus choosen |
| 3006s | action having lost all of his armor and |
| 3009s | the majority of his help he does get his |
| 3011s | ultimate available just at the last |
| 3013s | second but he's unable to pop it and |
| 3015s | plus he only had that 70 so he would |
| 3018s | have only received a uh a certain amount |
| 3022s | of healing no mortal Defiance parts are |
| 3024s | there for him sadly rain running the |
| 3027s | timog |
| 3028s | respectable Spooner would be proud Reign |
| 3032s | getting a huge Parry for himself having |
| 3033s | already popped his F has no combo break |
| 3035s | available gets caught by that lmb on the |
| 3037s | nunchucks it's full combo he sends out |
| 3040s | that F onto ego stuck in the wall he |
| 3043s | manages to send him oh my Lord holy |
| 3045s | Eagle just managing to prevent himself |
| 3048s | from getting staggered by that uh buy |
| 3051s | that whisp dashing out oh no he |
| 3063s | oh my goodness the ego they're actually |
| 3065s | almost loses that fight because of the |
| 3068s | tree there he mistimes the ultimate and |
| 3071s | catches himself out onto the tree |
| 3073s | doesn't catch the freeze there but like |
| 3075s | you said because of the overhauled able |
| 3076s | to come out on a top there oh my |
| 3080s | goodness it's just rain not gonna be |
| 3082s | happy about that outcome whatsoever |
| 3084s | returning your attention now to Calais |
| 3086s | Fang bang unfortunately either being |
| 3088s | forced into the white armor swap here |
| 3090s | were not able to find better armor for |
| 3093s | themselves yet a little on the Run |
| 3095s | trying to pressure away turning now to |
| 3097s | aow's Mike Mike also on the white armor |
| 3100s | here after a respawn uh losing a life |
| 3103s | early here Mike going to play a little |
| 3106s | bit more passively until they find some |
| 3107s | armor here very typical of aow's Mike |
| 3111s | that they continue to keep the pressure |
| 3113s | up even after dying early if they're |
| 3115s | able to find that armor unfortunately |
| 3118s | not in that position yet and we are |
| 3120s | halfway for Zone one collapsing on to |
| 3122s | zone two which means those Realms of |
| 3124s | Yang gonna be coming forward very soon |
| 3126s | so if you're in the position like aow's |
| 3128s | Mike or uh Fang you're not going to be |
| 3130s | able to pressure into those uh realm of |
| 3133s | gang fights especially uh if you're on |
| 3136s | those Justina picks uh as we have some |
| 3139s | other players in the lobby who are |
| 3140s | playing at that Feria and it's going to |
| 3142s | be very hard for Justina to come out on |
| 3144s | top of that inside the realm of Yang |
| 3146s | Juventus is reki trying to keep zhangyu |
| 3149s | inside the Zone here but Zhang you more |
| 3151s | than happy to stay this side of the zone |
| 3154s | and go ahead and get that armor healed |
| 3156s | back up there Ricky gonna pop the Bell |
| 3158s | trying to keep eyes on the Oshi zhangyu |
| 3160s | and Zhang Yu trying to go very wide |
| 3163s | around the outside edge of the circle |
| 3164s | there we're gonna see here about uh Shen |
| 3166s | you on popping that turkle but gonna use |
| 3169s | it to disengage from kla's Fang here and |
| 3171s | Fang more than happy to let him do it uh |
| 3174s | as he also not really happy with his |
| 3176s | given armor and a weapon situation but |
| 3179s | that all very quickly getting ready to |
| 3181s | come off of cooldown at 95 if he's able |
| 3184s | to get even a single hit on about us and |
| 3186s | one here he will likely generate enough |
| 3188s | rage to go ahead and get that old back |
| 3189s | and Fang could find himself in quite the |
| 3192s | favorable position if he can track down |
| 3194s | Shen Yuan yet again and here we are |
| 3197s | those Realms of Yang starting to come |
| 3198s | through it looks like juron and ego |
| 3200s | looking to pressure onto this gate here |
| 3203s | as they continue to trade blows with |
| 3204s | each other uh looks like uh GD and TK |
| 3207s | also going to be pressuring one of these |
| 3210s | Realms of Yang Wang looking to come in |
| 3212s | and do the same and towards the north |
| 3215s | western side of the map we're going to |
| 3217s | see about four players descending onto |
| 3219s | one of these Realms again it's going to |
| 3220s | be very interesting to see what players |
| 3223s | get in and who gets punished for |
| 3224s | pressuring onto these Realms gang so |
| 3227s | hard no absolutely I um I would like to |
| 3231s | say something real quick send you one my |
| 3233s | boy you are in nvpl you know you are |
| 3237s | playing Target and you are right next to |
| 3241s | a you're in a location where there are |
| 3244s | three available fireflies I initially |
| 3246s | thought that the reason why genuine |
| 3248s | disengaged around in that direction was |
| 3249s | because of those fireflies but no my my |
| 3252s | man is literally just oblivious to it |
| 3256s | um said what's the point in playing |
| 3257s | Firefly map if you don't know where they |
| 3259s | are Serge but uh here we are in the |
| 3261s | realm of Yang AOW Mike getting |
| 3263s | overholded forced to Parry xxy canceling |
| 3267s | it out going for the grapple bump and |
| 3269s | managing to catch him with it Mike going |
| 3271s | for that that staff uh South poster |
| 3274s | weapon sword but failing the pulse will |
| 3276s | connect going for this scale rush trying |
| 3278s | to beat how the Parry manages to do so |
| 3279s | xxy going for the hold into release |
| 3284s | Mike oh my okay this is this is a dirty |
| 3288s | combo I will talk about it in the moment |
| 3290s | but here we have reki both players in |
| 3294s | Justina ultian you it goes for the |
| 3296s | overhaul doesn't cancel the grapples |
| 3298s | tries to bait him into that oh |
| 3302s | manages to get that F1 off managed to |
| 3304s | recuperate some of that armor goes for |
| 3306s | the lmb the red flash he gets turned |
| 3308s | around gets hit in the back manages to |
| 3310s | catch the L B uppercut brother Ricky |
| 3312s | he's chilling literally he's got that F1 |
| 3315s | available wrecky |
| 3318s | managed to avoid the uh the stone form |
| 3320s | so to say from jiangyu on that nunchucks |
| 3323s | managed to catch him takes him down |
| 3325s | extremely low both players one HP a |
| 3327s | Clank will do it but no |
| 3329s | both players get griefed and get take |
| 3334s | him down |
| 3335s | unable for one of them to come out on |
| 3338s | top but here we have |
| 3340s | X run getting taken down by that dual |
| 3343s | blades |
| 3344s | j-team action |
| 3347s | I think he's pretty he's pretty happy |
| 3349s | with himself managed to get that purple |
| 3351s | armor he's playing zipping he's got the |
| 3353s | F2 gets that bubble on I think he's |
| 3356s | gonna just try and buy some time he's |
| 3357s | gonna try and space out he's not looking |
| 3359s | to take this fight with fun fun having |
| 3362s | come in a little bit late yeah I think |
| 3364s | he's chilling too he's he's okay okay |
| 3366s | bro all right all right you're playing |
| 3368s | zipping I I will just I'll loot the body |
| 3370s | you're right dude see you later |
| 3376s | take the full reset not wanting to go |
| 3379s | back into that purple army especially |
| 3380s | when when you realize that you're |
| 3382s | fighting into the zip they pop the |
| 3383s | bubble to create that much distance |
| 3385s | you're you're not playing an optimal |
| 3387s | hero to really do something about that |
| 3389s | and you're already playing from behind |
| 3392s | they let you go like I'm very surprised |
| 3395s | honestly to see the armor Swap come |
| 3396s | through and actually not pressure that |
| 3398s | given that long literally had no armor |
| 3400s | whatsoever if you're falling you're just |
| 3402s | thanking the sweetenerocket gods that |
| 3405s | you decide to back away there and you're |
| 3407s | able to find any sort of reset in that |
| 3409s | situation whatsoever but you know I want |
| 3412s | to hearken back to what we saw during |
| 3414s | the realm of Yang and we we see that |
| 3416s | staff confirm into the uppercut hot swap |
| 3419s | into that hole sword doing so much |
| 3422s | damage in that initial fight and that's |
| 3424s | something you know that we see a lot of |
| 3426s | here in the nbpl and it's gonna be very |
| 3428s | interesting because so many of these Pro |
| 3430s | players have adapted to that new meta |
| 3432s | and with the patch that I actually just |
| 3434s | re uh released today we actually see |
| 3436s | that being pretty heavily nerfed uh so |
| 3439s | many of these players can be forced to |
| 3441s | going back to just uh playing those |
| 3443s | regular weapon uh combos moving forward |
| 3445s | oh my God a massive Perry coming out |
| 3447s | here from xxy into the re-hit confirmed |
| 3449s | this is something I love seeing on the |
| 3452s | great sword and I know Duncan you uh |
| 3454s | like me Greatsword enjoy her uh you know |
| 3457s | absolutely well about being able to uh |
| 3459s | hit that Parry into the repost and then |
| 3461s | immediately animation cancel it by |
| 3464s | jumping into the right click and |
| 3465s | confirming that extra jumping right |
| 3467s | click into huge damage love to see it |
| 3470s | coming out here from xxy absolutely I uh |
| 3473s | you are exactly right my friend I am a |
| 3476s | great sword enjoyer and uh yes no the |
| 3479s | jump r b managing to get that damage off |
| 3482s | on the follow-up very very true does |
| 3484s | manage to get you quite a bit a bit of |
| 3486s | damage there but I'll talk more about |
| 3488s | that in just a moment as we have Ricky |
| 3490s | here getting pressured swaps off the |
| 3493s | blue armor 2 ohm empty purple |
| 3496s | thinking that he may be able to escape |
| 3498s | but uh ends up having to swap back as |
| 3501s | he's continued continuing to get |
| 3504s | pressured but here we have rain on the |
| 3507s | Tomato popping that ultimate fun stuck |
| 3510s | inside that ultimate using that F1 just |
| 3513s | buying some time fun not looking as |
| 3516s | though he's oh as I said I was about to |
| 3520s | say he's not looking too pressured here |
| 3521s | but he sends the blue rain managing to |
| 3524s | catch it with that jump Harry doing a |
| 3527s | considerable amount of damage to him |
| 3529s | along with the third party fun getting |
| 3531s | peppered by Pistol shots left and right |
| 3533s | Foster uses ultimate to try and |
| 3536s | disengage |
| 3537s | oh okay Ricky now having uh been being |
| 3541s | under pressure earlier not managing to |
| 3544s | escape it seems Yang Yu managing to pick |
| 3546s | up the kill for himself Cheng Yu just uh |
| 3549s | walking past xxy not not really looking |
| 3552s | to uh to do anything with that he's got |
| 3554s | his kill he's happy he's looking to uh |
| 3557s | continue rotating accelerate his lead |
| 3560s | but uh not looking to get too ugly in |
| 3562s | celestra as you all well know if you get |
| 3565s | a bit too oogly boogly in celestra you |
| 3568s | will get third party by The Horde of uh |
| 3571s | of players that uh simply just surround |
| 3576s | you in this in this area it's extreme |
| 3578s | really hard to deal with if you're the |
| 3580s | one that that's in a fight that's |
| 3582s | starting a fight unless you get a |
| 3584s | considerable lead at the very start |
| 3586s | you're at a huge risk of getting third |
| 3589s | party and just getting absolutely grief |
| 3591s | griffed |
| 3593s | especially in nvpl where that is exactly |
| 3597s | what every single player is trying to do |
| 3599s | wedding again optimal did any of you see |
| 3602s | that show he dropped his he dropped his |
| 3604s | health Soldier this is something that I |
| 3607s | love to see a little bit of Min maxing |
| 3609s | he's looking to heal up his health and |
| 3611s | he's trying to maximize the amount of |
| 3613s | value he gets from his Vitalia not |
| 3616s | looking to waste any resources |
| 3617s | whatsoever and it's it's it's exactly |
| 3620s | what you're gonna see from Wang Liang |
| 3622s | Liang he's been that player that is uh |
| 3625s | always been about Min maxing and and his |
| 3628s | macro macro being is just sort of |
| 3630s | General understanding of the game as a |
| 3634s | whole answering those uh those big |
| 3636s | picture questions how am I gonna get to |
| 3638s | the late game how am I going to survive |
| 3640s | in late game the man has uh has |
| 3644s | definitely proven to us that Health |
| 3645s | Jades are considerably important when it |
| 3648s | comes to end game being able to survive |
| 3650s | that just tiny bit longer with the extra |
| 3653s | Health it's it makes the difference and |
| 3656s | he showed up showed it to us time and |
| 3657s | time again and it's always really cool |
| 3659s | to see I am a big enjoyer of these kind |
| 3662s | of uh this kind of thinking this kind of |
| 3664s | macro if um it's it's very very fun for |
| 3668s | me to see and I love to see it in mbpl |
| 3669s | there's always the flashy there's always |
| 3672s | the flashy combos the uh the small |
| 3675s | picture stuff so to speak you know the |
| 3676s | micro your combos your your Dodges your |
| 3680s | your mechanics all of that stuff but |
| 3681s | when it comes down to macro it's always |
| 3683s | lovely to see as it requires a little |
| 3685s | bit more brain |
| 3687s | oh yeah absolutely we're gonna see here |
| 3689s | uh xxy going had to head to Jason's |
| 3691s | action here for the second time this |
| 3693s | game as both of these players look to |
| 3696s | trade off here you know xxy |
| 3698s | unfortunately losing this fight last |
| 3700s | time they engaged and action did not |
| 3702s | have as good a gear as he has now with |
| 3704s | that legendary long sword here that he |
| 3707s | was just able to get from the second set |
| 3708s | of uh of Realms of Yang coming through |
| 3710s | as he went completely uncontested inside |
| 3713s | the realm of Yang and all these players |
| 3716s | see xxy going low and look to start |
| 3718s | sharking here xxy though able to create |
| 3721s | a ton of distance here just by using |
| 3723s | those grapples and a little bit of that |
| 3724s | movement attack not being forced to burn |
| 3727s | their ultimate leaves them in a very |
| 3729s | good situation as all the other players |
| 3731s | start to look to engage on each other |
| 3732s | xxy just more than happy to get away |
| 3735s | from that situation |
| 3737s | with a little bit of the uh the armor |
| 3740s | trailing Tech here trying to position |
| 3742s | that armor in an optimal place for |
| 3744s | himself so that he knows where he has a |
| 3746s | second purple armor you can fall all |
| 3747s | back onto and look it looks like he's |
| 3749s | trying to get it into this corner oh |
| 3751s | it's not going to be quite as visible |
| 3752s | for other players we're going to turn |
| 3755s | back here to a fight that breaks up |
| 3756s | between aow's Mike and badass Shen Yuan |
| 3758s | earlier new on gonna use that fireball |
| 3761s | to go ahead and get the burning onto the |
| 3763s | Justina here and you know you kind of |
| 3766s | gave him a little bit of Hector about |
| 3767s | using that fireball but one of the |
| 3769s | reasons that we can see parka's uh |
| 3772s | overcome Justina back in the day was the |
| 3773s | fireball through the F1 there but |
| 3776s | unfortunately it's just not enough as |
| 3778s | they had to abuse Mike is quite the |
| 3780s | skilled player and that legendary Katana |
| 3782s | is something that's very hard to uh |
| 3785s | overcome when you start taking so much |
| 3787s | damage from it there |
| 3789s | um |
| 3790s | always interesting to see and we |
| 3792s | actually seen players it's kind of |
| 3793s | ironic because aow's Mike has piloted |
| 3796s | that fireball Tarka uh extremely well in |
| 3798s | the past being able to catch people out |
| 3800s | and fully extend combos with the |
| 3803s | Fireball and aggressively win lobbies |
| 3805s | that way so kind of funny to see him |
| 3807s | around and dumpster onto atarca who's |
| 3810s | trying to do the same and you know when |
| 3813s | your aow's mic you kind of see that and |
| 3815s | go look man I pioneered this don't don't |
| 3816s | be trying to do this to me I know how |
| 3818s | this works true true no um you're |
| 3821s | absolutely right how there is there is |
| 3823s | one thing that I'm not sure you if you |
| 3824s | are aware of not many people are in fact |
| 3826s | aware of this it is a a sort of very |
| 3829s | like a very unknown thing but um when it |
| 3833s | comes to anti-healing that's um the |
| 3836s | anti-healing effect that is inflicted on |
| 3839s | the People by things such as fire and |
| 3842s | whatever what have you the if the fire |
| 3846s | damage if the effect if the anti-healing |
| 3849s | effect is not applied to the to your |
| 3853s | target before their healing starts then |
| 3857s | it does not actually cut the healing so |
| 3860s | as you said before with that F1 it is |
| 3863s | something that tarkas have been using |
| 3865s | for |
| 3867s | sorry excuse me a long time now to try |
| 3870s | and uh mitigate the healing from |
| 3872s | justina's F1 unless they actually get |
| 3875s | the fire applied to them before they |
| 3877s | press that button before they press F1 |
| 3881s | it's not going to do anything for them |
| 3883s | the healing is still coming out as full |
| 3888s | um and it doesn't do anything it might |
| 3890s | burn them it might burn their health bar |
| 3892s | a little bit but it's not going to cover |
| 3894s | that healing which is uh something that |
| 3896s | a lot of people don't actually realize |
| 3897s | you have to make sure that you get that |
| 3899s | fire damage onto the person that you're |
| 3901s | trying to uh that you're that you're |
| 3904s | going for before they go for that |
| 3906s | healing ability because uh otherwise |
| 3908s | it's not gonna do anything it's so it's |
| 3910s | also something that you need to make |
| 3911s | sure that you're doing against things |
| 3912s | like zipping because if you if you apply |
| 3915s | the fire damage as they heal |
| 3917s | then doesn't do anything but if for |
| 3919s | example they have their mortal Defiance |
| 3922s | prop and you've inflicted fire damage |
| 3924s | onto them before it procs then it will |
| 3927s | cut the healing considerably but here we |
| 3930s | have who is this xxy and Wang Yang Wang |
| 3932s | Liang going into the warehouse |
| 3934s | collecting his pre-prepared like his one |
| 3938s | I prepared earlier purple armor I'm |
| 3940s | ready to deal with any situation my guy |
| 3943s | the macro man he is he is Turbo big |
| 3947s | brain and I love to see it it is it's |
| 3949s | it's just it's just lovely to see it's |
| 3952s | like I I can't stress enough how much I |
| 3955s | enjoy watching good macro Min maxing all |
| 3957s | of this sort of thing rain here opting |
| 3959s | to commit his to monk ultimate for that |
| 3962s | box managing to secure himself the gold |
| 3964s | armor |
| 3966s | um upgraded from Blue a substantial |
| 3968s | upgrade for himself and since he has |
| 3971s | this three band Zone there's no alt zone |
| 3973s | right next to him he's able to head on |
| 3975s | into it and essentially just mitigate |
| 3977s | the fact that he just used his ultimate |
| 3980s | to uh to secure that gold armor but the |
| 3982s | the rest of the lobby is not happy about |
| 3985s | it he's getting peppered from everywhere |
| 3988s | every single person in the facility is |
| 3992s | what is happening |
| 3995s | this man is is on the is on the high |
| 3999s | seas he's a pirate and he's getting |
| 4001s | attacked by every Canada |
| 4007s | look this is this is something we've |
| 4010s | seen coming forward in uh the nbpl these |
| 4013s | smaller Huts typically end up sort of |
| 4015s | being these death traps for players |
| 4017s | looking to escape and get some sort of |
| 4019s | healing off because cannons have become |
| 4021s | so prevalent that explosion damage and |
| 4024s | people able to do things like fire |
| 4025s | arrows there's really no place you can |
| 4028s | go inside that small space that you can |
| 4030s | escape the splash damage coming through |
| 4032s | from the Cannons you know these Huts a |
| 4035s | little bit bigger you sort of have |
| 4037s | corners that you can go around you can |
| 4039s | kind of make these work but in general |
| 4041s | the Huts really have just become these |
| 4043s | sort of death traps every time we see |
| 4045s | players head into those Huts looking to |
| 4048s | uh get some sort of heal off while the |
| 4050s | lobby has their attention on those |
| 4052s | players we see them get punished for it |
| 4054s | extremely heavily uh by cannon fire |
| 4057s | we've seen it in final circles even |
| 4058s | where players have been able to Edge out |
| 4061s | in these small zones behind walls and |
| 4063s | stuff and still just end up getting |
| 4065s | pummeled by cannons uh it's really |
| 4067s | something that the players haven't |
| 4069s | managed to find an adjustment to yet |
| 4071s | because they're so used to finding that |
| 4073s | safety and comfort inside these sort of |
| 4076s | uh spaces where they can get away and |
| 4077s | not be punished for it but in the nbpl |
| 4080s | you're just not going to find that sort |
| 4082s | of safety yeah oh my goodness AOW Mike |
| 4085s | it's a lot of damage coming in from |
| 4087s | those Katana charge clicks Mike gonna |
| 4089s | use that F1 there gets a little bit of |
| 4091s | armor back but it's taking Zone tick as |
| 4093s | he goes |
| 4094s | trying to keep it alive here with that |
| 4097s | legendary Katana does not want to give |
| 4099s | that away as close as he is to the end |
| 4101s | circles here or this game It Feels So |
| 4104s | pressured that he's going to burn the |
| 4105s | ultimate there and use those charges to |
| 4108s | get away and start healing here and this |
| 4110s | is a smart decision by my given exactly |
| 4112s | what we were just talking about he could |
| 4114s | have tried to pressure back into that |
| 4116s | building but as you saw he immediately |
| 4118s | gets turned on to the ranged weapons |
| 4119s | turned onto Mike he starts taking a ton |
| 4122s | of damage he's forced to create distance |
| 4124s | and go find a place out in the open to |
| 4126s | heal and it's a smart play for Mike |
| 4128s | given how heavily he was punished for |
| 4130s | going inside that Hut no you're |
| 4133s | absolutely right he was he was under a |
| 4135s | considerable amount of pressure by Fong |
| 4138s | who has quite literally it seems every |
| 4140s | dagger Jade I think he had never step I |
| 4143s | think he has |
| 4144s | um I'm not sure if he has Assassin's |
| 4146s | lunge but he definitely has the Pride's |
| 4148s | full a uh a huge Jade to be having at |
| 4151s | this kind of point in the game managing |
| 4153s | to give yourself that healing if you if |
| 4155s | you ever happen to need it so to speak |
| 4157s | and he's got merciless oh my Lord eagle |
| 4161s | eating the brunt of that Soul Jade |
| 4164s | eating all that damage and CT getting |
| 4166s | shocked in the back by the oh my God |
| 4169s | Mike managing to pick up a kill for |
| 4171s | himself |
| 4173s | a little bit unhappy but he does get |
| 4175s | that Soul Bloom I think he's uh I think |
| 4177s | he's all right he's definitely in a good |
| 4178s | position to uh come out on top of this |
| 4181s | game considering that he does have prize |
| 4183s | full he does have merciless both Jade's |
| 4186s | extremely useful to have in this in |
| 4189s | these kind of end zones Jades of Destiny |
| 4191s | if you will as Raven likes to call them |
| 4194s | shout out to my boy |
| 4197s | um but yes I found it just looking to |
| 4200s | buy this time put out a little bit of |
| 4202s | pressure with those Jades when he has |
| 4204s | the opportunity to do so Mike continuing |
| 4207s | to use these fire arrows to his |
| 4208s | Advantage able to apply a considerable |
| 4210s | amount of pressure fire damage is |
| 4213s | invaluable |
| 4214s | when it comes to uh to uh these kind of |
| 4217s | end zones these these high pressure |
| 4219s | situations when the zone is starting to |
| 4221s | take down and you can attack somebody's |
| 4223s | Health directly you are you are you're |
| 4227s | very happy being able to do this burn |
| 4229s | all the resources as Fung has had to do |
| 4232s | so he has no Vitalia left to his name |
| 4235s | he's gonna have to try and find some way |
| 4236s | of healing his health maybe he manages |
| 4238s | to pick up a little bit of Italia from a |
| 4240s | body of a uh |
| 4242s | of a fallen enemy but it doesn't look |
| 4244s | like he's gonna be able to uh have any |
| 4247s | room to breathe Force uses F1 swapping |
| 4249s | over to the dagger to be able to use |
| 4251s | that uh Superior movement to his |
| 4254s | advantage |
| 4255s | trying to stay on the Move having that |
| 4257s | leather step having that extra stamina |
| 4258s | extremely handy but he's still getting |
| 4261s | peppered Mike getting a little bit of |
| 4263s | clothes testing the waters backs off |
| 4265s | just a tad melting that fell strong has |
| 4268s | managed to heal up his armor |
| 4271s | prideful goes into the stone form does |
| 4274s | not opt for the Parry just tries to back |
| 4276s | off |
| 4277s | yeah |
| 4280s | Fun's really in a difficult situation |
| 4282s | here given the lack of Vitalia and the |
| 4284s | pressure uh being put on the phone by |
| 4286s | the rest of the lobby gear you see them |
| 4288s | every time they try to stop to get any |
| 4289s | sort of healing off uh even onto their |
| 4292s | armor so many of these players just |
| 4294s | looking to Pepper him down with those |
| 4297s | Arrow shots and we saw the one time he |
| 4299s | was able to get a shield pot off he |
| 4301s | actually takes five different uh Arrow |
| 4303s | shots to the body here now forced to |
| 4305s | just use that merciless Havoc to try to |
| 4307s | create space but it's going to be |
| 4309s | difficult for vong given that Zhang Yu |
| 4311s | also sitting up top here has that |
| 4313s | merciles havoc and can equally do the |
| 4315s | same it actually catches Jason's action |
| 4317s | out into it and chidi's yoka yoga here |
| 4320s | just trying to use the zip F2 to create |
| 4322s | some space Oh My Goodness Fong here this |
| 4325s | is really unfortunate and this is why we |
| 4328s | talk about how important keeping those |
| 4330s | resources for end game is here Fong |
| 4333s | constantly being pepper down has no |
| 4336s | Vitalia left so when he gets forced out |
| 4338s | into the Zone like that is taking armor |
| 4341s | damage that entire time from Zhang Yu |
| 4343s | but it's the Zone tick that ends up |
| 4345s | killing him because he's not at full HP |
| 4348s | if he'd had full HP he potentially could |
| 4350s | have popped his ultimate after he was |
| 4352s | released from that merciless havoc and |
| 4354s | altered back into the Zone but because |
| 4356s | he was already so low because he didn't |
| 4358s | have the Vitality to get that Health |
| 4360s | back OC zhangyu able to take extreme |
| 4363s | advantage of the situation just pushes |
| 4365s | him into the zone and picks up the |
| 4366s | elimination Zhang Yu goes to three |
| 4369s | eliminations here as we're down to our |
| 4370s | top six players left remaining alive |
| 4372s | aow's Mike and J team's action trying to |
| 4375s | play a little bit of that old school |
| 4376s | naraka tree Point here wants to maintain |
| 4379s | that High Ground wants to not be the |
| 4380s | focus in Jang you hear more than happy |
| 4383s | to continue to throw this merciless |
| 4385s | Havoc out |
| 4386s | not really worried about being buried as |
| 4388s | you can just turn that blue attack away |
| 4390s | and then instantly turn the Havoc back |
| 4392s | the Havoc coming in here oh my goodness |
| 4395s | Zhang Yu using the terrain to the |
| 4397s | advantage there gets set up on the pole |
| 4399s | Waits For That optimal moment to come in |
| 4401s | there with the merciles Havoc doing a |
| 4403s | ton of damage to Wang Liang who's forced |
| 4405s | to come top side and pop the mech here |
| 4407s | he's just looking to get a heal up he's |
| 4409s | able to get a Vitalia off his armor |
| 4411s | though gonna be suffering when he comes |
| 4413s | out of this Mech form trying to create |
| 4414s | some pressure here he will find an armor |
| 4416s | pot here for himself inside the Mac he's |
| 4419s | gonna find another one as all these |
| 4420s | players look to get away here |
| 4423s | yeah Wang Liang here though the huge |
| 4425s | problem here is this old about to run |
| 4427s | out and he's not going to have it for |
| 4430s | those final moments of the Zone here and |
| 4433s | that's exactly where you want Ferry is |
| 4435s | to have it is for these final moments |
| 4437s | it's very unfortunate for Wang Liang who |
| 4439s | now finds himself in a very difficult |
| 4441s | situation trying to use those grapples |
| 4443s | to keep himself Airborne all these |
| 4445s | players looking to |
| 4455s | Mike picks up Wang Liang Mike gonna be |
| 4459s | coming out on top here with five |
| 4460s | eliminations in a first place finish |
| 4462s | here in game number one |
| 4467s | [Music] |
| 4475s | oh my God he did an extremely good job |
| 4478s | there of managing to keep his ultimate |
| 4481s | till the very last second he was holding |
| 4485s | his own he was holding his ground inside |
| 4487s | that final Zone as it got that as it got |
| 4491s | smaller and smaller |
| 4493s | is F1 to literally just sit there and |
| 4496s | not really care about anybody else |
| 4498s | surrounding him and then he pops his own |
| 4500s | at the very last second has an abundance |
| 4504s | of health and just Juju |
| 4510s | I think it was two or three kills at the |
| 4513s | very end the the target acquisition from |
| 4515s | Zhang Yu and aow's mic was very very |
| 4518s | good as well they see the last vario |
| 4520s | they're in the lobby in Wang Yang both |
| 4523s | of those players pressure onto Wang |
| 4526s | Liang and force him to burn the mech |
| 4528s | before those final Zone moments it could |
| 4531s | have been a hugely different game had |
| 4534s | Wang Liang still had his ultimate in |
| 4536s | those final moments able to just take |
| 4538s | control of that space use that Cannon |
| 4540s | and knock players away knock Justina |
| 4542s | around but it is aow's Mike who comes |
| 4545s | out on top because of the target |
| 4547s | acquisition from himself and OC's Zhang |
| 4550s | you and in the very end AOW Mike that F |
| 4553s | absolutely gorgeous he recognizes the |
| 4556s | pinpoint accuracy of where the middle of |
| 4558s | that circle is F's up and just says I'm |
| 4560s | gonna sit here for the full duration I |
| 4562s | don't care what anybody else has done I |
| 4563s | have grabbed the middle of the circle in |
| 4566s | a Lobby full of justina's nobody can |
| 4568s | take that away from me if you want to |
| 4569s | come F next to me you're going to be in |
| 4571s | the zone before I am which means I'm |
| 4573s | gonna have more Health coming out of |
| 4575s | this |
| 4575s | that's exactly what AWS might because |
| 4577s | and like you said able to hold on to |
| 4579s | that ultimate until the very end so when |
| 4581s | he comes out of that F he can just start |
| 4582s | freezing people locking them down Mike |
| 4585s | able to pick up some extra eliminations |
| 4586s | will be walking away with the MVP for |
| 4589s | game number one here very clinically |
| 4591s | played by aow's Mike such a great game |
| 4594s | and this is something I talk about all |
| 4596s | the time that a lot of other players |
| 4597s | struggle with aow's Mike as a player who |
| 4601s | like you like to say likes to get oogly |
| 4603s | he likes to go in he likes to be |
| 4605s | aggressive he likes to take fights but |
| 4608s | he is also a player who understands when |
| 4612s | it's time to start Slow Rolling when you |
| 4615s | have four eliminations after zone three |
| 4618s | you have absolutely no reason to fight |
| 4621s | we see Mike not even looking to go into |
| 4623s | the second realm of Yang he doesn't even |
| 4625s | look to pressure fights he's just |
| 4627s | playing the range game he's trying to |
| 4629s | make himself not a Target he's trying to |
| 4631s | burn other people's resources and just |
| 4633s | get to late game you have four |
| 4635s | eliminations already the average number |
| 4638s | of top eliminations in solos is five if |
| 4642s | you have four eliminations already |
| 4643s | there's no point in fighting just go to |
| 4646s | the final circle make the most of those |
| 4648s | points and it's aow's Mike who |
| 4650s | understands that extremely well and I |
| 4652s | apologize he picked up one more |
| 4654s | elimination I didn't see that extra |
| 4655s | elimination he finishes with a first |
| 4657s | place finish and six eliminations which |
| 4659s | means he's gonna be walking away with |
| 4661s | 13.6 game score also very notably OC's |
| 4666s | Zhang Yu first game back today three |
| 4669s | eliminations |
| 4671s | goes out with a 5.2 takes a second place |
| 4673s | finish and this is what zhangyu did the |
| 4676s | other day he was either second or first |
| 4679s | place almost every single game so even |
| 4682s | though he didn't pop off in the final |
| 4684s | Circle it's Mike who comes out on top |
| 4685s | he's got to be very happy about his |
| 4687s | performance Wang Liang here |
| 4689s | unfortunately you know he's going to |
| 4691s | take third place here he does get Five |
| 4692s | Points not a terrible game for Wang |
| 4694s | Liang but because he was forced to burn |
| 4696s | that old early this isn't the pop-off |
| 4699s | game that he was looking for on Feria |
| 4703s | as we've all as we all know as we've |
| 4706s | said countless times consistency |
| 4710s | 5.2 is nothing nothing to be uh to be |
| 4714s | ashamed of 5.2 is a solid performance |
| 4717s | coming out second in total in game one |
| 4720s | definitely something to be happy about |
| 4722s | not not nothing too fancy you know but I |
| 4725s | feel like Xiang Yu he's he's consistent |
| 4728s | he's he's he's getting those decent |
| 4731s | games he's not he's not falling too far |
| 4733s | behind he's not doing anything uh too |
| 4736s | risky he's got he's got everything he |
| 4738s | wants you know he comes out he comes out |
| 4741s | in a pretty solid position for game one |
| 4744s | after having done six so extremely well |
| 4746s | on his first day I don't think we saw |
| 4749s | this earlier a shiny one using an |
| 4751s | attacker against the Wu Chan I forgot he |
| 4753s | had a woodchuck in this Lobby |
| 4755s | I did see it when we were going in but I |
| 4759s | completely forgot he was even in the |
| 4760s | game |
| 4762s | um but yeah no this this is tragic |
| 4765s | literally just unable to do anything |
| 4767s | about that not having any Vitalia to his |
| 4769s | name |
| 4770s | yeah he literally just sits there in his |
| 4773s | end just just happy as can be just |
| 4778s | doesn't really care it picks up two |
| 4779s | kills at the very end extremely well |
| 4782s | done by him and yeah as you said the |
| 4784s | like the fire errors and the the fact |
| 4787s | that he had Katana you know I mean |
| 4788s | Katana is not the best weapon when it |
| 4790s | comes to uh sort of space control so to |
| 4795s | speak unless you have something like |
| 4796s | salt you're not going to be able to |
| 4799s | um put down too much pressure but he |
| 4801s | manages to achieve that with the fire |
| 4804s | arrows like toasting everybody in his |
| 4807s | sight and just uh forcing them to back |
| 4810s | off asking them to use those resources |
| 4812s | that are so dear to you when it comes to |
| 4815s | those kind of situations |
| 4816s | oh yeah absolutely I mean again Mike |
| 4819s | Plays this really really well the big |
| 4820s | thing in a Lobby full of Justine is is |
| 4822s | understanding that if you can take |
| 4824s | control of the pinpoint middle of Zone |
| 4828s | Seven as it collapse and pop your off |
| 4830s | you force every other Justina to take |
| 4834s | Zone tick over you because you're able |
| 4836s | to control that space with just your |
| 4838s | body they're forced to f up around you |
| 4841s | and as soon as that zone starts to come |
| 4844s | in and touches them they're taking Zone |
| 4846s | ticks you are not Mike recognizes the |
| 4849s | win condition in a Lobby full of |
| 4851s | justina's finds himself in that position |
| 4853s | finds that he still has his old so as |
| 4855s | soon as the zone is fully collapsed he |
| 4857s | can just start freezing players out and |
| 4860s | able to come in and pump out extra |
| 4862s | damage onto them and that way when the |
| 4864s | zone does eliminate them it's aow's mic |
| 4866s | who picks up those eliminations he gets |
| 4868s | two extra eliminations because of it |
| 4870s | it's six kills a first place finish this |
| 4874s | is really just a textbook Justina game |
| 4876s | you know this |
| 4877s | this Harkens back to season one nbpl |
| 4880s | last year when Justin was very meta in |
| 4882s | solos this is typically what you would |
| 4884s | see happen if you were a Justina and you |
| 4886s | were able to find control of the center |
| 4888s | of that Circle in those final moments |
| 4890s | you were typically able to come out on |
| 4893s | top |
| 4894s | um and it's very interesting to see The |
| 4896s | Meta sort of swing back in that |
| 4898s | direction currently I love how wildly |
| 4901s | The Meta has shifted the season and you |
| 4904s | know next week when we come back in for |
| 4906s | rep change after these bi-weeklies we're |
| 4909s | actually gonna be on the updated patch |
| 4912s | for akko so I expect to see akkos coming |
| 4914s | in and starting to throw some flies in |
| 4917s | that ointment as well and then even |
| 4919s | after that when we get to the most |
| 4921s | recent batch which will probably happen |
| 4923s | uh either at the end of the season or |
| 4926s | potentially next season we have some |
| 4929s | huge changes to valda happening as well |
| 4932s | and we've already yeah start to slip |
| 4935s | into the meta the meant the changes |
| 4938s | revolved of this patch the bug fixes for |
| 4941s | her ultimate like massive buff going |
| 4944s | forward for valda as well so the meta is |
| 4947s | only going to continue to just diversify |
| 4949s | and keep changing throughout this season |
| 4953s | and next season and we love to see that |
| 4955s | it's something that's so great about the |
| 4958s | nbpl |
| 4959s | is even when we stay on the same patch |
| 4961s | and there's not big changes we don't |
| 4964s | typically see a static meta for the most |
| 4966s | part because these players are always |
| 4969s | looking to eke out every single bit of |
| 4973s | efficiency that they can find we see |
| 4975s | these sort of meta shifts the hero |
| 4977s | changes and different things like that |
| 4978s | happening you even pointed out Wang |
| 4980s | Liang in this last game doing something |
| 4982s | uh quite interesting where he drops the |
| 4984s | health Soul Jade so that he can heal his |
| 4987s | health to full with the Vitalia pick the |
| 4990s | soul Jade back up and fun fact if you |
| 4993s | pick up a health sold Jade when your |
| 4994s | health is full you automatically get the |
| 4997s | full effect of the bonus HP from that |
| 4999s | Health Soul Jade |
| 5001s | yeah he's very Min maxing being very |
| 5004s | efficient he goes okay hey if I heal |
| 5006s | with the Vitalia it's not going to heal |
| 5007s | that full extra HP just drop the soul |
| 5010s | Jade finish the heel I'm at full health |
| 5012s | pick it back up now I get that little |
| 5013s | bit of extra healing and like you said |
| 5015s | we saw how devastating it is to make it |
| 5020s | to end game and not have Vitalia because |
| 5022s | that's exactly how we see Fango out Fang |
| 5025s | if he had had Vitalia if you'd been full |
| 5027s | health very easily when that merciles |
| 5029s | Havoc it stopped hitting him he could |
| 5031s | have popped his old bin back in the zone |
| 5033s | he might not have survived for super |
| 5035s | long but he would have survived longer |
| 5037s | and sometimes even one position |
| 5039s | difference makes a huge difference in |
| 5043s | the amount of points that you're getting |
| 5044s | so that's why we see often so much of |
| 5049s | these players just peppering each other |
| 5051s | sort of during this Buccaneer phase as |
| 5053s | Jake likes to call it uh in those final |
| 5055s | zones heading into zone six and seven is |
| 5058s | because they are trying to burn |
| 5060s | resources trios a little bit different |
| 5063s | yes you're trying to burn team resources |
| 5065s | but you're also trying to maintain rage |
| 5068s | for your different Heroes so that you |
| 5070s | have those ultimates going forward in |
| 5071s | solos it's very much feast or famine in |
| 5074s | terms of resources in the ending circle |
| 5076s | there and these players know it and we |
| 5079s | watch form just get blistered with |
| 5081s | arrows that entire time he runs out of |
| 5084s | Vitalia he's able to get the spaces he |
| 5086s | can heal but he can only heal that armor |
| 5088s | and because of that he just gets |
| 5090s | absolutely shredded when he gets caught |
| 5092s | out by zhangyu |
| 5094s | um no are you absolutely right I when |
| 5096s | you were talking about |
| 5097s | um when Fong manages to run out of |
| 5100s | Vitalia I'm |
| 5103s | as quite frankly there's no real way to |
| 5105s | tell unless we might would |
| 5108s | comb through the footage of the last |
| 5110s | game |
| 5111s | um but I'm not sure exactly how much |
| 5113s | Vitalia he had to begin with because one |
| 5117s | thing that is a little is a pretty handy |
| 5119s | tip when you're playing F1 Justina is |
| 5123s | that you oh well I mean not just F1 |
| 5126s | Justina but let's say F3 Wu Chen or even |
| 5130s | potentially zipping you know like maybe |
| 5133s | not zipping but mainly those two the |
| 5136s | fact that your ability heals your armor |
| 5139s | for you means that essentially you can |
| 5142s | take fewer armor powders than you |
| 5145s | normally would on another character and |
| 5147s | take more Vitalia something that like a |
| 5150s | lot of people don't realize the uh the |
| 5154s | number of like let's say resources that |
| 5157s | you take or specifically what you take |
| 5159s | is affected by the character that you |
| 5162s | choose and the abilities that you choose |
| 5164s | to play with those characters so because |
| 5167s | you're running F1 Justina you have this |
| 5170s | F although it's on a long cooldown you |
| 5172s | have this F available to you that's |
| 5174s | gonna heal a whole bunch of armor for |
| 5177s | you and you don't have to expend any |
| 5179s | resources whatsoever so you can take |
| 5181s | let's say you normally take two stacks |
| 5183s | of Italia which is four stacks and |
| 5186s | effectively 1 000 Health you can take |
| 5189s | six |
| 5190s | six vitalias or maybe or three Stakes or |
| 5193s | four Stacks you know you have if you've |
| 5195s | unlocked all of your slots you'll have a |
| 5198s | lot of space available to you so |
| 5201s | I'm not sure if he did choose to do that |
| 5203s | and he he quite literally just burned |
| 5206s | through all of that Vitalia or if he'd |
| 5209s | not really thought of this and not |
| 5210s | actually |
| 5211s | um thought of it in a moment which is |
| 5213s | it's completely normal you know like |
| 5214s | sometimes you don't think about these |
| 5215s | sort of things especially funny high |
| 5217s | pressure funny enough I remember exactly |
| 5219s | so when he goes into that building and |
| 5221s | starts being pressured by all the fire |
| 5222s | arrows he's actually sitting on six |
| 5224s | armor pots and two Vitalia so he's |
| 5227s | actually running more armor Bots than |
| 5229s | Vidalia in that given situation and you |
| 5232s | know sometimes it's a hard mentality to |
| 5234s | break right typically on most other |
| 5236s | characters that's the space you want to |
| 5238s | be in but even going into end game I |
| 5241s | feel like you should be running more |
| 5242s | Vitalia given how much Zone tick you're |
| 5244s | potentially going to be taking and uh |
| 5247s | like you said it would have been much |
| 5249s | better if he was running more Vitalia |
| 5251s | over the shield Bots sometimes you can't |
| 5253s | help it though sometimes you're forced |
| 5255s | to take what you can get off the bodies |
| 5256s | especially that late into the game |
| 5258s | there's not that many shops left |
| 5260s | available |
| 5261s | um but still it it came down to him just |
| 5264s | lacking the resources speaking of which |
| 5266s | as we take a look at going into this |
| 5267s | game we're going to see a lot of zip and |
| 5270s | yang as we head over to holleroth and |
| 5272s | this is a pretty standard for this we |
| 5274s | typically see a lot of ferias and uh |
| 5276s | Zips coming through here uh and that's |
| 5279s | exactly what we're seeing we're seeing a |
| 5280s | lot of Zips we do see one I don't or no |
| 5283s | yeah we do see one barrier coming |
| 5284s | through from Zhang Yu uh Jin or action |
| 5287s | from J team going to be running that |
| 5288s | valda pick you on running the Yodo Hime |
| 5292s | pick here not sure how I feel about |
| 5294s | yodohime solos anymore you know Yodo |
| 5297s | used to be extremely dominant uh in |
| 5300s | solos during season two especially after |
| 5302s | the massive buff uh to their ultimate |
| 5305s | but now not only have they since |
| 5307s | received multiple different Nerfs but |
| 5309s | players also drastically uh increase |
| 5312s | their ability to be able to avoid those |
| 5315s | ultimates being able to get the read on |
| 5318s | the opponent you know it threw people |
| 5319s | off when that ultimate shifted and |
| 5321s | people could kind of hold the timing of |
| 5323s | it now but these Pro players they they |
| 5326s | adapt very very quickly and now it's |
| 5330s | still pretty difficult in a 1v1 to hit |
| 5333s | those Yodo slashes onto a solo Target it |
| 5337s | doesn't really do you a lot of good to |
| 5339s | go into the realm of Yang as Yodo |
| 5340s | because of how easily they are avoided |
| 5342s | and unless you're coming in on a third |
| 5344s | party or you make it all the way to |
| 5346s | final Zone you're not gonna get a lot of |
| 5348s | mileage out of that yodohime ultimate |
| 5351s | hmm no you're absolutely right that is |
| 5354s | uh it is definitely not that easy to |
| 5356s | pull off I remember when spider pulled |
| 5359s | it out unexpectedly in I'm not sure if |
| 5362s | it was the first or the second bi-weekly |
| 5364s | but he pulled it out nobody expected it |
| 5367s | and he dominated but then even even |
| 5370s | though he did that even though he sort |
| 5373s | of brought it back into play even spider |
| 5376s | has stopped playing Yoto because he just |
| 5378s | he like he realized that it's just not |
| 5381s | really worth it at the end of the day |
| 5382s | and also I'd like to comment on the fact |
| 5384s | that young |
| 5385s | chose to play taka in this Lobby are you |
| 5389s | insane you masochist what is wrong with |
| 5393s | you bro it's not it's not the pick bro |
| 5397s | it is not what you want to do in this |
| 5399s | kind of Lobby |
| 5400s | I'm finally picking up Ricky here not |
| 5402s | not all that much to say to be honest it |
| 5404s | looks like Ricky just did not have that |
| 5406s | armor available and got caught in the |
| 5409s | in The Unlucky situation speaking of |
| 5412s | which young now |
| 5413s | gets Parry sadly Beijing you unable to |
| 5417s | uh really do anything there both players |
| 5419s | were pretty low contesting this grief |
| 5422s | platform as I like to call it ballista's |
| 5424s | on both sides just it's literally just |
| 5428s | the place to get grieved the place to |
| 5431s | get |
| 5432s | absolutely roasted by the Ballista |
| 5436s | um so not not my favorite place in the |
| 5438s | map but here we have Mike versus |
| 5440s | choosing Mike giving a tasty hole Dodge |
| 5443s | into Parry there on to choosing choosing |
| 5446s | getting sent flying manages to get his |
| 5449s | F2 off gets the armor swap as well and |
| 5451s | he gets the jump Barry Mike sending the |
| 5454s | blue on the nunchucks does he have a |
| 5456s | spare weapon available he does he gets |
| 5458s | the armor swap Tuesday now on the Run |
| 5460s | has that blue armor looking to heal it |
| 5463s | up gets a chunky RMB Bonk on to Mike |
| 5466s | Mike now on the back foot |
| 5468s | having lost his armor choosing swapping |
| 5470s | armors yet again has ultimate available |
| 5472s | to him Mike forced to use his gonna try |
| 5476s | and heal up as much as he can goes for |
| 5479s | the whole trick doesn't buy it uses the |
| 5481s | alt to uh armor through not take that |
| 5484s | option he uses the nunchuck stone form |
| 5486s | to block that blue doesn't release as |
| 5488s | quite frankly wouldn't do anything |
| 5490s | zipping F2 hog choosing manages to get |
| 5493s | the half charge knocks him away just |
| 5495s | slightly managed to buy a little bit of |
| 5497s | time to heal up a little bit more from |
| 5499s | his ultimate mic doesn't believe he'll |
| 5501s | turn it around sends the blue Focus |
| 5504s | choosing doing it again only gets half |
| 5507s | of it about though choosing still at a |
| 5509s | health disadvantage Mike I'm quite |
| 5511s | surprised he still hasn't used his F2 |
| 5513s | wants to get that F2 out as soon as |
| 5515s | possible so that he can get it again |
| 5517s | maximize that value my boy you don't |
| 5519s | need to stop holding it just use it |
| 5523s | but |
| 5527s | I don't know |
| 5531s | oh my goodness |
| 5534s | you know what's really funny about this |
| 5536s | fight too is aow's mic makes the mistake |
| 5538s | with that set of nunchucks first right |
| 5540s | he sees the F2 coming out from the other |
| 5542s | zipping feels pressured into constantly |
| 5545s | using that charge right click to try to |
| 5547s | Tech Chase so that he can hit through |
| 5549s | the bubble with the F2 there ends up |
| 5552s | getting parried for it Chu Zhang picks |
| 5555s | up the nunchucks ends up dying to the |
| 5558s | exact same mistake that he was able to |
| 5560s | take advantage of earlier in the fight |
| 5562s | unfortunately we are going to turn here |
| 5564s | to a three-way fight where xxy getting |
| 5566s | picked up by Valdosta new on genuine |
| 5568s | going to use that F3 here not gonna get |
| 5570s | a ton of mileage out of it again this is |
| 5571s | something we talk about with yodohime |
| 5573s | you know not only has the duration of |
| 5576s | the F3 really been cut you know from |
| 5579s | Five Seconds to like three seconds here |
| 5582s | but these players know how to knock |
| 5584s | yirohime's out of that F3 now and that's |
| 5587s | exactly what we see Ricky do uses the |
| 5589s | grapple to come in from an angle and |
| 5590s | lock him down here shinyu on gonna go |
| 5592s | extremely low here the back step comes |
| 5595s | through oh my goodness this is the worst |
| 5597s | place to be if you are Yoda you may if |
| 5599s | you're recky able to find another |
| 5600s | backstab you are going to be eliminated |
| 5602s | that's exactly exactly what we see |
| 5605s | happen as ventus's recce will pick up |
| 5607s | the elimination on dishen you on we turn |
| 5609s | back our attention now to aow's Mike |
| 5611s | going to head to head here with Kayla's |
| 5612s | Hong Fong using that dagger to great |
| 5615s | effect here Mike goes to pop the bubble |
| 5617s | and I love the read from Fong to realize |
| 5620s | that the bubble's about to come out so |
| 5621s | they use the charge uppercut to catch on |
| 5624s | to Mike with the blue and because of |
| 5627s | that they're able to just follow it up |
| 5628s | grief that kill out with the dagger and |
| 5631s | Mike's gonna be forced back to the soul |
| 5632s | altar |
| 5634s | yes you are absolutely right Mike he |
| 5637s | does actually there is one thing that |
| 5639s | I've noticed that Mike loves to do and I |
| 5641s | think that's probably why he was holding |
| 5642s | his F2 in the previous fight but he |
| 5645s | loves to go like when when his opponent |
| 5648s | is just holding in front of him he goes |
| 5650s | for the F2 into Parry which is very nice |
| 5652s | but here we have yonkey on that Tarka |
| 5655s | getting pressured by Wang Liang but Wang |
| 5657s | liang's getting griefed he sends the |
| 5660s | blue not even trying to hit him hit the |
| 5662s | third party but he gets parried forced |
| 5666s | to use his F but we all know uh since |
| 5669s | the buff to F3 he has plenty of time to |
| 5673s | make a bit of distance between him him |
| 5675s | and his opponent manages to get that uh |
| 5678s | double heal off gets the blue Focus |
| 5680s | release as well and he's managing to |
| 5682s | turn it around onto is that rain that's |
| 5685s | rain rain on the zipping but Wang Liang |
| 5687s | he's sitting in the zone he doesn't have |
| 5690s | the survivability this rain has and he |
| 5692s | just gets taken down by that zone tick |
| 5696s | very unfortunate for Wayne Liang he did |
| 5698s | an extremely good job of staying alive |
| 5700s | there but rain managing to come out on |
| 5703s | top |
| 5704s | um but yes no you're you're absolutely |
| 5706s | right Mike does get caught by that blue |
| 5708s | and it's it's something that he does try |
| 5710s | and do he goes for the F2 bait because |
| 5713s | every in this in this kind of setting |
| 5716s | you know in when when you're talking |
| 5717s | about like the best players everyone's |
| 5720s | very well aware of the fact that to hit |
| 5723s | a zipping once she is used F2 you have |
| 5726s | to Blue Focus or Parry there blue |
| 5729s | essentially you can light into them but |
| 5731s | you're not getting any stagger so it's |
| 5733s | it's kind of a mind game and essentially |
| 5736s | it's it's a mind game that is |
| 5738s | essentially infinite because if if you |
| 5741s | know that I know this that but you know |
| 5743s | that I know that you know that you know |
| 5745s | that I know the it's it's it can go on |
| 5747s | forever so at the end of the day it is |
| 5749s | somewhat of a 50 50 and it just comes |
| 5752s | down to player Instinct and um which is |
| 5755s | it which is it's always really cool to |
| 5757s | see but uh but yeah it's it's a 50 50 at |
| 5761s | the end of the day a lot of the time and |
| 5764s | I find that |
| 5765s | like this is something actually that |
| 5768s | who be well I learned this a very very |
| 5771s | long time ago and it was something that |
| 5773s | helped me a lot in meraka it sort of |
| 5776s | unlocked my potential it made me realize |
| 5780s | that the truth a good player is able to |
| 5784s | determine and like see |
| 5787s | when 50 50 or like because the game is |
| 5790s | 50 50s in certain situations and a lot |
| 5793s | of them |
| 5794s | to be able to pick and choose which ones |
| 5796s | you want to take which ones are |
| 5798s | beneficial for you to take is the mark |
| 5801s | of a good player but here we have auw |
| 5804s | Mike versus the farrier versus Yang Yu |
| 5807s | having taken a substantial amount of |
| 5808s | damage Yang you getting a huge Parry on |
| 5812s | to Mike with that gold star |
| 5815s | crazy amount of damage coming out there |
| 5817s | Yonk Now versus Exxon the the ex-lovers |
| 5822s | here Velda and Tarka going at it and |
| 5826s | they EX in managing to catch him on that |
| 5828s | back dash catching him with that |
| 5830s | nunchuck lmb and going into the combo |
| 5833s | and taking him down |
| 5835s | he did manage to avoid the valdo but |
| 5838s | still so I was not really able to do |
| 5840s | anything I would say it looked like |
| 5841s | young might actually come out on top |
| 5843s | there because in that situation that's |
| 5845s | the worst place you can be as a Tarka |
| 5847s | forced to pop your ultimate before the |
| 5848s | valda does because the valda has the |
| 5850s | ability to take your ultimate completely |
| 5852s | away from you uh and we see him actually |
| 5855s | get away from the wave and he has to |
| 5858s | predict that right you can't do that on |
| 5860s | read and get away from the wave so the |
| 5863s | prediction comes through he gets away |
| 5864s | but unfortunately he's just not able to |
| 5866s | come out on top and take control of the |
| 5868s | neutral and since he loses the neutral |
| 5870s | you lose the fight and that's what it's |
| 5871s | all about you're playing footsies man |
| 5873s | and in naraka if you can't control your |
| 5875s | neutral uh That's All She Wrote Zhang |
| 5877s | you here uh with that Vermillion Birds |
| 5879s | might looking for where this player went |
| 5882s | not quite able to find them but it's |
| 5883s | gonna actually come top side and find |
| 5885s | Yankee and aow's Mike looking to get |
| 5888s | into a fight here and both of these |
| 5889s | players forced to commit to this fight |
| 5890s | because they both have Yang depletion |
| 5892s | and sitting in the wings here now is of |
| 5894s | course uh our lovely boy from OG zhangyu |
| 5898s | who has that Vermillion Birds might so |
| 5900s | he's more than happy to get in the |
| 5901s | middle of this fight and just mix it up |
| 5903s | with these two players who are desperate |
| 5905s | to get rid of that Yang depletion and |
| 5906s | now we have the fourth party coming |
| 5908s | through as well as we see Kelly's fun |
| 5910s | show up and this is an even better |
| 5913s | opportunity or Zhang Yu to pick up some |
| 5915s | more eliminations here because again |
| 5917s | he's got that Vermillion Birds might |
| 5918s | even if he loses a life here he's still |
| 5921s | sitting in a really good situation he |
| 5924s | just can keep pressuring onto Mike and |
| 5927s | these other players and he's not going |
| 5929s | to give it up anytime soon Mike coming |
| 5930s | down and Mike and young again they are |
| 5933s | in a position where they can't afford to |
| 5935s | step away from this fight they have to |
| 5937s | continue to sort of participate in this |
| 5939s | fight club whether they want to or not |
| 5941s | because they have to get rid of that |
| 5943s | Yang depletion where that's going to be |
| 5945s | the game for them here ball coming in |
| 5946s | able to catch up some huge damage there |
| 5949s | but Zhang Yoo capitalizes on the pillar |
| 5952s | coming down and and now gets to come in |
| 5954s | looks to pick up the elimination onto |
| 5956s | Mike as well zhangyu not worried about |
| 5958s | this again has that Vermilion Birds |
| 5960s | might not looking too wasted as people |
| 5963s | pressure him he's gonna be able to get |
| 5964s | into his pillar keep himself alive here |
| 5967s | needs to get away gonna use the jump to |
| 5969s | go top side trying to get where he can |
| 5971s | put his back to Mike here so he can get |
| 5973s | some healing off unfortunately he's |
| 5975s | gonna be forced to end the ultimate |
| 5976s | early but it's gonna be okay because he |
| 5979s | has that Vermillion Birds my aow's Mike |
| 5982s | just barely able to pick up the soul |
| 5984s | Bloom and get rid of that Yang depletion |
| 5987s | I was going to say did he manage to get |
| 5990s | it as it was make or break for him since |
| 5993s | after that fight it was very unlikely he |
| 5995s | was going to be able to get any sold in |
| 5997s | without just full ooga boogering |
| 5999s | somebody who's close by would have been |
| 6002s | extremely hard situation to be in but |
| 6004s | here we have Xin managing to catch T225 |
| 6007s | with that scale rush into uppercut combo |
| 6009s | doesn't manage to secure the pole sold |
| 6011s | swap due to the right to the to the |
| 6013s | terrain sadly T225 now on the Run |
| 6016s | playing that zipping managing to heal up |
| 6018s | Xin trying to make something happen but |
| 6021s | he's just getting peppered and this is |
| 6023s | this is one of the considerable problems |
| 6025s | with valda is that you very have very |
| 6027s | few means of uh of resetting whereas |
| 6030s | zipping can quite literally just run and |
| 6034s | heal at the exact same time and has very |
| 6037s | little problem doing exactly that |
| 6039s | getting that heal of getting the reset |
| 6040s | action managing to find T225 now hiding |
| 6044s | in that bush T225 not having the |
| 6046s | ultimate available to him |
| 6048s | it looks like we're swapping over to |
| 6050s | Mike and Fong Mike I think he was |
| 6052s | looking for the Parry there but he |
| 6054s | doesn't manage to get it from getting |
| 6055s | that r b blue focus on to Mike doing a |
| 6058s | considerable amount of damage Mike |
| 6059s | having to pop his ultimate Fung still |
| 6061s | holding onto his sensor blue Mike |
| 6063s | managing to narrowly avoid his phone now |
| 6066s | going for the downgrade going for that |
| 6068s | purple two blue armor swap oh no Fong |
| 6072s | does get caught in his ultimate |
| 6074s | activation gets uppercuted by Mike he's |
| 6078s | still on the offensive though goes for |
| 6079s | the backstab but he gets caught yet |
| 6082s | again Mike now pulls out the pistol |
| 6084s | trying to take him down but fog has |
| 6087s | armors everywhere he stops yet again to |
| 6091s | a white although he has now gone from a |
| 6094s | purple to a white armor not what you |
| 6097s | want here as Mike now had the freedom to |
| 6100s | heal up the purple armor that Fung |
| 6102s | initially had |
| 6103s | not having ultimate either it's not a |
| 6106s | great situation to be him be here get |
| 6109s | the scale Rush onto Mike but gets caught |
| 6112s | combos loses all of his armor yet again |
| 6115s | having to swap back and the fourth time |
| 6118s | Mike gets the half charge gets the |
| 6121s | uppercut gets the jump lnb into r b Fong |
| 6123s | now effing away another armor Swift gets |
| 6127s | lmb interval gives Ellen beat into |
| 6129s | uppercut chords on the terrain and he |
| 6131s | can't do anything about its sticky stuff |
| 6135s | it feels impossible to escape sometimes |
| 6138s | Mike using it to his Advantage taking |
| 6141s | down Fung with the with that purple |
| 6144s | stuff it's it's I feel like staff is one |
| 6148s | of the most most irritating weapons to |
| 6151s | deal with especially when zipping is |
| 6153s | using it because staff is extremely good |
| 6157s | at controlling space it's a very campy |
| 6159s | weapon allows you to play very uh very |
| 6162s | safe going back and forwards holding |
| 6165s | continuously has extremely good movement |
| 6167s | and if you ever look to half charge and |
| 6170s | the Zippy's got F2 there's nothing you |
| 6173s | can do the pressure is is insane and um |
| 6176s | although dagger is also extremely good |
| 6180s | um on zipping I feel like staff is a |
| 6182s | little bit more annoying for me |
| 6183s | personally considering the uh the weapon |
| 6186s | swap shenanigans that you can do but |
| 6188s | here we have |
| 6189s | or x x run versus Mike Mike getting that |
| 6193s | uppercut yet again X1 getting caught on |
| 6195s | the wall doesn't manage to get away |
| 6196s | though Mike now had a huge Health |
| 6198s | Advantage X1 trying to wait it out |
| 6202s | trying to keep her ultimate as long as |
| 6204s | possible managed to get the F2 into |
| 6207s | scale Rush Oh a huge scale Rush manages |
| 6210s | to get the catch the blue Focus as much |
| 6212s | as lands onto the ground exorando or |
| 6216s | managing to get saved by the Mortal |
| 6217s | Defiance passive on her ultimate |
| 6220s | goes for the jump gets caught by the lmb |
| 6222s | goes for an R Bonk slams down onto Mike |
| 6225s | Mike oh and Mike manages to check Chase |
| 6229s | it perfectly I think that was a slide |
| 6231s | lmb there |
| 6233s | very nicely done sadly extra one not |
| 6236s | managing to make it out alive here Mike |
| 6239s | just ugly boogly pressure for days not |
| 6242s | looking to back down it did look pretty |
| 6244s | good at a certain point getting that |
| 6246s | scale rush into the blue Focus was uh |
| 6250s | was very nicely done but to no avail |
| 6252s | here |
| 6254s | okay taking a look back now on to |
| 6255s | j-team's action because he picks up an |
| 6257s | elimination on to xxy about us shenuana |
| 6260s | comes in here on the Yoda you may pick |
| 6261s | trying to find some pressure here on to |
| 6264s | action able to catch the grapple into |
| 6267s | uppercut combo here on the katana |
| 6268s | putting a ton of pressure on to JT's |
| 6271s | action engine really returning the favor |
| 6274s | here catches the wave as well if he can |
| 6276s | land the spear that's gonna be it for |
| 6278s | senyon and this is what we talked about |
| 6280s | I mean look she just doesn't have any |
| 6284s | advantages left in Solo and now J team's |
| 6286s | action gonna pick up another elimination |
| 6288s | their action with four eliminations |
| 6290s | under their belt already this game but |
| 6292s | man that's what we were talking about |
| 6293s | with yodohime man even as much pressure |
| 6296s | as Shen Yuan created in that given space |
| 6298s | there was just nothing they could do uh |
| 6301s | given the follow-up from action the wave |
| 6303s | it what's Yodo supposed to do in that |
| 6305s | situation aow's Mike here on a bit of a |
| 6308s | back foot as we see Vince's recce can |
| 6310s | create a ton of pressure here both of |
| 6313s | them trading blows with the staff Mike |
| 6315s | with the swap for Ernie from the staff |
| 6317s | in it to that full sword just making fun |
| 6320s | of damage coming out and this is you |
| 6321s | know this is what we were talking about |
| 6322s | earlier there's a reason why that is |
| 6325s | being nerfed right you you think about |
| 6327s | the hitstun that comes through from the |
| 6329s | weapons like the staff and the follow-up |
| 6331s | damage that the staff can create the |
| 6333s | staff already does quite a bit of damage |
| 6336s | when you're able to create that hits |
| 6337s | done in the follow-up Zhang you gonna |
| 6338s | pick up another elimination here as well |
| 6340s | and go to four tying it up with aow's |
| 6343s | Mike and J team's action |
| 6345s | um but being able to hot swap from the |
| 6348s | hit confirm into staff you were never |
| 6350s | meant to be able to hit stun confirm |
| 6353s | into Greatsword or pull sword damage you |
| 6356s | just weren't able like it's it's not |
| 6358s | designed for it to happen that way right |
| 6360s | that said we talked about how these |
| 6362s | players will eke out every bit of |
| 6364s | advantage that they can get here in the |
| 6366s | pro league so while that still exists |
| 6368s | before uh the new patch here these |
| 6371s | players are going to use that as much as |
| 6373s | possible able to get that extra damage |
| 6376s | to pick up those extra eliminations and |
| 6378s | that's exactly what we see happening |
| 6379s | there Jason and Jang Yu now looking to |
| 6382s | trade blows we are down to our top five |
| 6384s | players left remaining in the lobby |
| 6385s | action just taking a ton of damage from |
| 6387s | this legendary staff no place to go |
| 6389s | Zhang Yu goes to five eliminations turn |
| 6391s | around and catches Mike Mike and Zhang |
| 6394s | Yu both with that poison on from the |
| 6396s | poison Splash there as they continue it |
| 6398s | up we're gonna see a huge pillar come |
| 6400s | down oh my goodness zhangyu takes |
| 6402s | control of this fight against Mike Mike |
| 6404s | able to find the F2 is gonna pop the new |
| 6406s | old Zone here zhangy wants to keep the |
| 6409s | pressure up Mike takes so much damage |
| 6411s | but zhangyu going to keep on the hunt |
| 6413s | here wants to eliminate Mike while they |
| 6416s | have the opportunity this is a potential |
| 6418s | six elimination for Zhang Yu and would |
| 6422s | make them the front runner in the lobby |
| 6424s | aow's Mike able to find multiple spaces |
| 6427s | to get some pots off there accidentally |
| 6429s | cancels that POD at the last second but |
| 6432s | will have enough time to find another |
| 6433s | help fight here as the Fight Continues |
| 6435s | to break out between Zhang Yu and aow's |
| 6438s | Mike Mike trying to use that F2 to their |
| 6440s | advantage we're gonna see the charge |
| 6441s | left click coming out of the staff |
| 6443s | though starting to Pummel Mike Mike not |
| 6446s | ready for it doesn't have the Perry |
| 6447s | available there as he overholds and |
| 6450s | we're gonna see now zhangyu keeping the |
| 6452s | pressure on Mike four seconds till that |
| 6455s | F comes back off of cooldown Zhang Yoo |
| 6457s | gonna try to do a little cheeky too now |
| 6459s | there but sees might start to pressure |
| 6460s | back doesn't want to risk it goes for a |
| 6462s | regular pot here is now away from the no |
| 6464s | hold Zone can yet again extend with the |
| 6466s | ultimate but does drop the extension so |
| 6468s | Zhang you gonna lose a little bit of |
| 6470s | mileage there from that uh the massive |
| 6473s | jump Perry coming in for Mike Mike |
| 6475s | finally able to find the Perry into that |
| 6477s | set but zhangyu where the purple stuff |
| 6479s | waiting in the wings will use that |
| 6480s | weapon swap into the pole sword to |
| 6482s | create a ton of damage but now that |
| 6484s | they're outside of the no old Zone Mike |
| 6486s | also with the old able to get a ton of |
| 6489s | HP back Jen you try to find enough |
| 6491s | charge to get the ultimate back they're |
| 6493s | so close they just need to find that |
| 6495s | pillar hit to be able to come out on top |
| 6497s | they miss the connections and are going |
| 6500s | to be forced to take the transformation |
| 6501s | otherwise they might end up losing this |
| 6504s | fight oh my goodness what a fight |
| 6506s | between Jang Yu and aow's Mike |
| 6509s | holy moly playing how many times did |
| 6514s | they use their old I think that was |
| 6515s | three pillars from zhangyu that's a 150 |
| 6520s | Rage that's insane but at the same time |
| 6524s | Mike I I feel like he was one HP so |
| 6528s | often managed to stay alive there with |
| 6531s | that zipping healing zipping sustain so |
| 6533s | here we are back again back for round |
| 6536s | two Mike now taking the initial damage |
| 6538s | losing about half of his armor but does |
| 6541s | manage to space out somewhat and it |
| 6543s | looks like he's gonna be able to get the |
| 6544s | part off looking for that reset |
| 6546s | taking a quick breather back to round |
| 6549s | three manages to get the lmb into |
| 6552s | uppercut forcing jiangyu into using his |
| 6555s | F1 breaking out the combo Mike getting |
| 6557s | slightly overheld there goes to the lmb |
| 6560s | into blue holes Yang Yu not opting to |
| 6563s | release but he does the second time Mike |
| 6566s | now goes for the F2 into jump and Ops 2 |
| 6570s | yet again go for the reset as quite |
| 6572s | frankly he is literally just chilling |
| 6574s | all he needs to do is burn out all your |
| 6578s | resources and eventually he will take |
| 6581s | you down but here we are swapping over |
| 6583s | to choosing and Wang Liang Wang Liang |
| 6587s | now pretty low does have ultimate |
| 6589s | available no armor to speak of though |
| 6591s | he's looking to try and get that armor |
| 6593s | swap can he do it no he can't he forced |
| 6597s | to teleport back to his original |
| 6599s | destination and just gets caught by |
| 6601s | Jiang Yu that's tragic Zhang Yu now |
| 6605s | getting that uppercut into weapon swap |
| 6607s | over 1 400 damaged fog |
| 6612s | Chang you pressuring trying to get this |
| 6616s | zipping I don't think he's going to keep |
| 6619s | going though Mike tags in doesn't look |
| 6622s | to try and fight the zipping I mean like |
| 6626s | you just at some point it just feels |
| 6628s | like you're just like he's been fighting |
| 6630s | Mike for about five minutes now I think |
| 6632s | he's probably a bit frustrated he's like |
| 6634s | nah dude all right see you later I'm |
| 6636s | gonna go reset real quick Mike picks up |
| 6639s | the fight |
| 6641s | managing to armor through that blue |
| 6643s | Focus doesn't take all that much damage |
| 6645s | manages to get the part off zhangyu now |
| 6648s | pressuring yet again |
| 6650s | this is definitely zhangyu's game |
| 6653s | how many kills is that I think that's |
| 6654s | five Mike also sitting on five uh |
| 6659s | I'm reading that correctly yep every |
| 6662s | player using the Star by the way |
| 6664s | choosing using them using that dagger |
| 6667s | yeah it you know Eugen you backed away |
| 6669s | from that bite as well as uh he sees the |
| 6671s | two Zips start to go at it and if I'm |
| 6673s | Chang you honestly I'm not trying to |
| 6676s | fight two zepings who are just gonna be |
| 6678s | in a heel off against me here you let |
| 6680s | them Focus each other out and that way |
| 6681s | you can just focus on the singular |
| 6683s | zipping but unfortunately not going to |
| 6686s | find himself uh in that situation just |
| 6688s | yet it's xujang able to get away Michael |
| 6690s | will come in and find shujang though and |
| 6693s | we're gonna see now as jangy looks to |
| 6695s | come in for that third party opportunity |
| 6697s | is able to pick up the elimination |
| 6699s | that's two he's picked up from Mike here |
| 6702s | returning the favor when from when Mike |
| 6705s | was able to pick up that elimination |
| 6706s | earlier zhangyu unfortunately forced |
| 6708s | onto the katana he's got his backpack |
| 6710s | here not where you want to be in the |
| 6711s | fight against the staff we will see some |
| 6713s | big combos coming in the gravels coming |
| 6715s | through trying to find the hicken from |
| 6716s | here but Zhang Yu really not in the best |
| 6719s | position here another Grandpa uppercut |
| 6721s | combo coming in from Zhang you Michael |
| 6723s | gonna be forced to use the ultimate here |
| 6725s | Zhang you're gonna use the pillar trying |
| 6726s | to finish before Mike can make it happen |
| 6728s | they're coming through with the app as |
| 6731s | well just wants to eliminate Mike before |
| 6732s | the healing can come through trying to |
| 6735s | keep the pressure up even at the time |
| 6741s | comes out on top yet again |
| 6745s | oh my Lord |
| 6753s | and I'm right there you see the power |
| 6756s | that zipping has yeah the the F2 the the |
| 6760s | immunity to stagger having that staff to |
| 6764s | literally just |
| 6765s | it feels like because when you have this |
| 6768s | F2 you're literally just eliminating an |
| 6772s | option in neutral and neutral like like |
| 6775s | the the footsies between players the |
| 6777s | like you're removing an aspect which |
| 6780s | creates a very like specific mind game |
| 6783s | that is extremely hard to deal with |
| 6786s | sometimes especially when you're under |
| 6787s | pressure and you're trying to take |
| 6790s | somebody down who's well literally just |
| 6792s | one HP it's like is he going to release |
| 6794s | this am I like Mike managing to do like |
| 6798s | he I think he was trying to do this one |
| 6800s | two three into grapple cancel so he was |
| 6803s | canceling the animation of the blue |
| 6805s | focus at the end of his one two three |
| 6811s | he wasn't buying it at all he was whole |
| 6815s | dodging behind him going for that lmb |
| 6817s | every time and manages to catch him and |
| 6820s | take him down extremely low but Mike |
| 6823s | having that healing available |
| 6826s | it's just it's just insanely huge as |
| 6831s | long as you can stay on the move you're |
| 6833s | going to top yourself back up you've got |
| 6835s | that sort of speaking that and it's |
| 6838s | insanely good when you're trying to |
| 6841s | fight in these like really tight |
| 6843s | situations you have that available to |
| 6845s | you and you know that you can take these |
| 6847s | sort of 50 50s and Mike being the ugly |
| 6850s | boogler that he is he sends those blues |
| 6853s | and he takes down jagu zhangyu although |
| 6857s | he came out I think how many kills like |
| 6860s | six kills at the very end there with |
| 6862s | second place he's definitely happy with |
| 6864s | the performance |
| 6871s | and you know it's really unfortunate |
| 6874s | um that we see Zhang Yu get parried |
| 6875s | there and he's forced into the katana |
| 6877s | because of the katana specifically fell |
| 6880s | out of favor in solos because of Z pen |
| 6883s | Yang the healing that comes out from her |
| 6885s | ultimate there's no way when you |
| 6888s | re-watch that fight Zhang Yu never drops |
| 6892s | pressure on Mike right he's always hit |
| 6894s | confirming into damage on Mike but |
| 6896s | because Mike has the ultimate going for |
| 6898s | XI ping the katana doesn't have any |
| 6901s | moves that deal damage rapidly enough to |
| 6905s | actually cut through a z-ping's ultimate |
| 6908s | you can actually sit there and just wail |
| 6909s | on a z-ping in their ultimate with a |
| 6911s | katana regardless of what blue Focus you |
| 6914s | throw out from the katana what combo you |
| 6916s | fully extend into into an uppercut or |
| 6919s | what and a zipping will heal straight |
| 6921s | through it you need something like the |
| 6924s | staff that was parried out of Zhang use |
| 6925s | sand to actually come out on top we |
| 6928s | actually see a lot of players who play |
| 6930s | into zping running the staff looking to |
| 6933s | get that charge left click off the staff |
| 6935s | because those Jabs that come out they |
| 6937s | come out so fast they actually deal |
| 6939s | damage two ticks between each one tick |
| 6943s | of the z-ping hole and that actually |
| 6945s | allows you to get an advantage over the |
| 6948s | healing on the ultimate and secure an |
| 6950s | elimination with the charge left click |
| 6953s | off of the staff unfortunately janyu |
| 6955s | only has the katana left meaning that no |
| 6957s | matter how well they realistically play |
| 6959s | that fight into Mike as long as Mike has |
| 6962s | the ultimate available they come out on |
| 6965s | top and that's what we see happen |
| 6967s | zhangyu again 12.6 second place six |
| 6970s | eliminations this is a big game for |
| 6972s | Zhang Yu but they've got to be |
| 6974s | frustrated fighting that many z-pings in |
| 6978s | a final Circle who literally just have |
| 6980s | it get out of jail free card they're |
| 6981s | able to pop that F and go you don't get |
| 6984s | to play half the neutral against me now |
| 6986s | you you like you said you're forced to |
| 6988s | either Parry or throw a blue to take |
| 6991s | control of that fight or you're forced |
| 6993s | to let the zipping run away and take a |
| 6994s | full reset and have to burn resources |
| 6997s | yet again in that fight and it's not |
| 7000s | where you want to be Zhang Yoo is gonna |
| 7002s | be looking for blood in the next game no |
| 7006s | you're absolutely right it is so |
| 7007s | unbelievably frustrating to feel like |
| 7010s | you're just not doing anything and |
| 7013s | you're just slowly getting outlasted |
| 7015s | time and time again having that constant |
| 7018s | healing available to you and then |
| 7020s | like one of the main reasons why we need |
| 7023s | to have this or why we are having the |
| 7026s | pulse sword into oh no sorry staff a |
| 7030s | great sword Interpol sword is because it |
| 7033s | allows these characters that don't |
| 7035s | actually have all that much kill |
| 7037s | pressure |
| 7038s | to have that kill pressure you know like |
| 7041s | it's like you you create a character |
| 7043s | that's based around survivability but |
| 7047s | then you have this specific mechanic |
| 7049s | that allows them to manage that like it |
| 7051s | allows them to Output a considerable |
| 7054s | amount of damage and have insane kill |
| 7056s | pressure by just using this one weapon |
| 7059s | Swap and it's it's extremely strong and |
| 7062s | that's one of the reasons why we're |
| 7064s | still seeing like while we're seeing |
| 7065s | these uh these zippings actually come |
| 7068s | out and put a lot of kills onto the |
| 7070s | board here and it's it's it's so hard to |
| 7073s | play you know like zipping it feels like |
| 7075s | you're constantly fighting and |
| 7078s | scrambling for that one opening where |
| 7080s | you can do as much damage as you can and |
| 7083s | then they just have this F2 to |
| 7085s | the majority of the time to mitigate all |
| 7088s | the Stagger and then if you do happen to |
| 7091s | make one mistake and they have staff and |
| 7094s | a pulse sword you're taking over a |
| 7096s | thousand damage |
| 7098s | it just feels so hard to deal with and |
| 7101s | choosing though it does an extremely |
| 7104s | good job of |
| 7106s | um of uh of staying alive managing to |
| 7109s | not waste so many resources I mean |
| 7111s | that's one of that's the main reason why |
| 7113s | he stopped going for uh choosing I think |
| 7116s | at the end the the gold armor zipping |
| 7120s | but in the top three like he he saw he |
| 7122s | got him low but he just thought nah like |
| 7125s | this isn't worth it I have very few |
| 7128s | resources left over so the if I continue |
| 7132s | to chase this and I don't kill him in |
| 7134s | the next like five to ten seconds I'm |
| 7137s | stuck I can't do anything I'm not gonna |
| 7140s | be able to heal because I don't have the |
| 7141s | resources to realistically stay alive |
| 7143s | for all that long I don't want to have |
| 7145s | to waste my ALT too early on into the |
| 7147s | final Zone and he's just he's forced to |
| 7150s | go and get those resources because |
| 7152s | zipping doesn't care she doesn't have to |
| 7155s | but it's it's yeah |
| 7157s | it's it's really unfortunate and you |
| 7160s | know Zhang you really played that fight |
| 7162s | extremely well again given the fact that |
| 7165s | the only backup weapon he had to fall |
| 7167s | back onto was the katana there's just |
| 7170s | not a whole lot he could do you can't |
| 7172s | give up the pressure on the zipping to |
| 7175s | go back and pick up your staff because |
| 7176s | his purple staff was laying behind him |
| 7178s | on the ground the problem is if you give |
| 7180s | zeeping an inch you give Z ping a mile |
| 7183s | his only chance of winning was to |
| 7186s | continue to pressure Mike hold the |
| 7189s | neutral and hold the advantage in the |
| 7191s | neutral until that all ran out he |
| 7194s | literally lost control of the neutral |
| 7196s | two ticks before Mike's old Runs Out and |
| 7199s | because of that Mike's just able to |
| 7200s | swing the fight turn it back on to him |
| 7202s | any other hero and Mike is dead there |
| 7205s | realistically we saw Zhang Yu literally |
| 7208s | just control the neutral of that fight |
| 7211s | once he got him in that first uppercut |
| 7213s | combo from start to finish we see the F2 |
| 7216s | come out and save Mike Mike then again |
| 7218s | gets sent back up into the uppercut |
| 7220s | combo he's forced to pop the ultimate to |
| 7222s | stay alive and there's just nothing |
| 7224s | Zhang Yu can do about it but we're gonna |
| 7227s | throw to a short video before we come |
| 7229s | back in lock in for game number three so |
| 7231s | we'll see you guys very shortly |

| 7416s | foreign |
| 7438s | drastically changed so much and that |
| 7440s | being like even if he goes to the |
| 7442s | bi-weekly and wins this bi-weekly final |
| 7444s | because of his performance earlier this |
| 7447s | season in the nbpl |
| 7449s | he's forced to go and play in rep change |
| 7451s | anyway so at the end of the day |
| 7453s | realistically there's nothing for him to |
| 7455s | lose to try out these sort of different |
| 7457s | play Styles and clearly he's found his |
| 7460s | rhythm he's found his Groove where he's |
| 7462s | coming out he's playing more |
| 7463s | aggressively he's taking these fights |
| 7465s | and I think he's found that confidence |
| 7467s | that he lacked that he used to have in |
| 7470s | season one and season two of The nbpl |
| 7472s | because he used to very confidently take |
| 7474s | these fights again I hearken back to |
| 7477s | that moment during season one where he |
| 7478s | was able to come out on top of this |
| 7481s | massive fight in a 2V1 scenario in a |
| 7484s | final Circle where he finishes up a |
| 7486s | fight literally has two ticks of HP has |
| 7489s | no ability no ultimate and is going up |
| 7492s | against a yodohime who has both he's not |
| 7495s | only able to completely mitigate the |
| 7498s | ability Dodge every tick of the ultimate |
| 7500s | he clanks once a second Clank in that |
| 7503s | fight kills him and he is able to zero |
| 7506s | to 100 the other player with Noah |
| 7508s | ability no ultimate available to him and |
| 7511s | come out on top zhangyu is a player that |
| 7514s | I always keep my eyes on so it's nice to |
| 7517s | see the sort of return to form where he |
| 7519s | has this confidence and clearly he's |
| 7521s | able to take these fights with other |
| 7522s | players and make things happen uh and if |
| 7524s | you guys want to be able to uh take some |
| 7527s | fights you might want to get your hands |
| 7529s | on some of those juicy Cosmetics because |
| 7530s | we all know having the best drip in the |
| 7533s | game uh helps you uh with your mental |
| 7536s | and we've got a question for you that |
| 7537s | might help you do that how many kills |
| 7539s | did Zhang you get in game number two is |
| 7540s | it A4 B5 C6 or D7 lock your answers in |
| 7545s | chat and make sure you're paying |
| 7546s | attention to your inbox here on Twitch |
| 7548s | because if you are selected you're going |
| 7551s | to get a little message here on Twitch |
| 7553s | and that you're gonna get some goodies |
| 7554s | to take over to your naraka blade Point |
| 7557s | account and you don't want to miss out |
| 7559s | on goodies because |
| 7560s | the naraka Cosmetic team does not miss |
| 7564s | as we take a look we're two games deep |
| 7566s | today as we look at the overall |
| 7569s | standings Wang Liang with eight points |
| 7571s | up on the board for his first two games |
| 7572s | on at PACE to outpace his day one |
| 7575s | performance looking much better than he |
| 7577s | did day one in this bi-weekly so |
| 7580s | hopefully Wang liangai continues to |
| 7582s | Trend in that direction for the rest of |
| 7585s | the day and walks away with a much |
| 7587s | better day one than he did uh previously |
| 7590s | this week uh jjh's Reign a little |
| 7593s | honorable mention uh some great moments |
| 7596s | coming out from this player in games one |
| 7598s | and games two not the points he was |
| 7600s | looking to make but this is sort of |
| 7602s | where jjh's Reign struggles is making it |
| 7605s | to that late game so he has these really |
| 7607s | big moments but he just unfortunately |
| 7609s | doesn't have the decision making uh or |
| 7612s | the positional to be able to make it to |
| 7614s | those late game spaces as we take a look |
| 7616s | at the middle of the back here T225 this |
| 7619s | is a player everybody expected so much |
| 7622s | out of after their performance in the |
| 7625s | World Championship uh and unfortunately |
| 7627s | they continue to find days where they |
| 7629s | struggle like this they'll have those |
| 7631s | big pop-off days like they did day one |
| 7633s | with a 35.4 game score and then here |
| 7636s | they are in day two two zeros back to |
| 7639s | back and this is uh unfortunately very |
| 7642s | characteristic of T225 as a player so |
| 7645s | hopefully they'll be able to bring it |
| 7646s | back in those final four games taking a |
| 7648s | look here OC Zhang you already 17.8 |
| 7652s | points for the day very quickly |
| 7654s | approaching wbg spiders first place |
| 7656s | position he's got four games to do it |
| 7659s | he's very realistically going to be able |
| 7661s | to overtake wbg spider AOW Mike having a |
| 7665s | very good day as well two back to back |
| 7667s | uh first place finishes already at a |
| 7669s | 27.2 game score very likely also going |
| 7673s | to climb over wbg's spider as we take a |
| 7676s | look jdg's Chu Jiang the only other |
| 7678s | player here towards the top end of this |
| 7680s | leaderboard with a 4.6 for the day |
| 7684s | and uh unfortunately we talk about |
| 7686s | characteristics like T225 this is very |
| 7688s | characteristic of jdg's jujang he'll |
| 7691s | have a very big explosive day and then |
| 7693s | if he doesn't bind his footing in the |
| 7695s | first game or two he very typically |
| 7697s | doesn't have a great second day so maybe |
| 7699s | Tuesday and can bring it back maybe 2225 |
| 7702s | can bring it back only time will tell |
| 7704s | Duncan no I have I have faith in T225 |
| 7708s | this guy |
| 7712s | I feel like he's he he's comparable to |
| 7716s | Mike in that way that he like when he's |
| 7718s | when he's feeling himself |
| 7720s | he just doesn't care and he just he just |
| 7723s | he's in your head |
| 7725s | and you like you know he's there you |
| 7728s | know he's in your head and it's just |
| 7730s | it's uncomfortable you know like this |
| 7733s | guy he's |
| 7734s | he feels Unstoppable when he's got his |
| 7737s | when he's got his footing but um yeah |
| 7741s | it's it's definitely it's definitely not |
| 7743s | his kind of he doesn't perform all that |
| 7746s | well when he's |
| 7748s | like when he's not got the first few |
| 7750s | games uh not got the first few games |
| 7752s | under his belt like not gotten too many |
| 7754s | kills but he's always been consistent |
| 7756s | and he's not like uh |
| 7759s | like uh and all that love a spot in the |
| 7763s | leaderboard right now he's eight so he's |
| 7766s | not he he's he shouldn't be sweating you |
| 7768s | know he shouldn't be nervous or anything |
| 7771s | like that he all he needs to do is focus |
| 7774s | up and try and get himself a few good |
| 7777s | games so that he can take as many points |
| 7779s | as he can into the finals |
| 7782s | um and also just for the for the sake of |
| 7785s | uh of Performing extremely well and |
| 7788s | coming out on top and showing that he is |
| 7790s | a threat to be reckoned with it's uh |
| 7793s | it's exactly what you want to be doing |
| 7796s | in these kind of lobbies as |
| 7797s | realistically if you're not |
| 7800s | asserting some kind of dominance |
| 7803s | some people are gonna think they can |
| 7805s | walk all over you and that's not what |
| 7807s | you want to be allowing in this kind of |
| 7810s | in this scene as quite frankly if |
| 7813s | someone sees you as an easy target |
| 7815s | you're always going to get focused on |
| 7818s | but here we are going into the next game |
| 7821s | I don't think this is a firefly map I |
| 7824s | think we're getting we've got first game |
| 7827s | fire flap fireflow map and game five |
| 7829s | against six |
| 7831s | if I remember correctly I'm not too sure |
| 7833s | although we will see it in just a moment |
| 7836s | I'm not |
| 7837s | I don't think we're gonna see anything |
| 7839s | too spicy we might see an a castle too |
| 7842s | because |
| 7843s | I actually am of the opinion that Acosta |
| 7845s | is reasonably well on non-firefly maps |
| 7850s | with his V1 with his although he doesn't |
| 7854s | have F3 right now with F1 and F2 |
| 7857s | available to him he can make a lot |
| 7860s | happen and especially against farriers |
| 7863s | well as I'm talking about Feria we've |
| 7866s | got quite a few of them here barrier |
| 7868s | still probably the safer pick it costs |
| 7871s | realistically without the F3 that was |
| 7874s | introduced |
| 7876s | um that's not on the patch that they're |
| 7878s | currently playing on |
| 7879s | it's not as strong the F3 |
| 7883s | having been having been out for one |
| 7885s | patch has already been adjusted and |
| 7888s | nerfed so |
| 7890s | it's extremely powerful and it goes to |
| 7893s | show that considering the Nerf so |
| 7895s | perhaps we're not going to see it we |
| 7897s | might see it in the next in the next |
| 7899s | week when they play on the patch that |
| 7902s | just got changed today but perhaps not |
| 7906s | for now considering that everything else |
| 7909s | is is is is tested tried and true |
| 7911s | farrier you know there's there's no need |
| 7915s | to do anything else farrier feels just |
| 7917s | like the pick when it comes to daytime |
| 7919s | Maps a lot of the time as you have |
| 7922s | essentially so many lives so many |
| 7925s | chances with that F1 being one of the |
| 7928s | best combo breakers in the game as you |
| 7931s | are not only doing damage but you're |
| 7933s | clanking the opponent of the opponent |
| 7934s | that you f away from as in if they are |
| 7938s | doing an attack it will force them to do |
| 7942s | the Clank animation where they swing |
| 7944s | backwards so to speak and uh it's |
| 7947s | extremely extremely useful the |
| 7949s | cooldown's not too long and then having |
| 7951s | this V3 available to use it not only as |
| 7954s | a safety net but as a combo extender |
| 7957s | starter and even potentially as a as a |
| 7961s | wall to hide behind as we've seen in |
| 7963s | Trio's quite a few times barriers are |
| 7966s | just using their pillar to hide behind |
| 7968s | and get that reset off when they do need |
| 7971s | to do so you know we talk about Min |
| 7973s | maxing right and that's part of that |
| 7976s | mid-maxing that we talk about all the |
| 7978s | time please tell me Mike sees the purple |
| 7980s | armor up above him yeah |
| 7982s | there's no way he okay okay I was gonna |
| 7985s | be very disappointed if Mike walked away |
| 7988s | uh from that purple armor but no we talk |
| 7990s | about Min maxing and these players |
| 7991s | trying to get the maximum out of |
| 7992s | everything and fairy pillar is one of |
| 7994s | those abilities that you can min max a |
| 7998s | lot right like you say you can find even |
| 8000s | alternative uses for where you're able |
| 8002s | to use that pillar to block space uh |
| 8004s | from Heat players from you know getting |
| 8006s | through a doorway or even using it to |
| 8008s | block uh projectiles hiding behind it so |
| 8011s | you can get those resets you're looking |
| 8012s | for T225 here off to a good start |
| 8014s | unfortunately Jason's actually gonna |
| 8016s | turn it around with a massive uppercut |
| 8018s | onto T225 and man |
| 8021s | T225 I'm not sure what's going on with |
| 8024s | the mentality today but unfortunately |
| 8025s | definitely not the best performance |
| 8027s | we've seen coming through Zhang Hui |
| 8029s | gonna go immediately onto the armor swap |
| 8031s | here as Vince's record continues to |
| 8033s | create pressure but Zhang you more than |
| 8035s | happy to continue to trade blows with |
| 8037s | Ricky Ricky looking to come in onto him |
| 8039s | we see him use that stop jump up onto it |
| 8042s | so he can counteract the uh grapple hook |
| 8044s | coming through from recce unfortunately |
| 8046s | Ricky able to continue to find small |
| 8048s | amounts of damage onto Zhang Yoo Zhang |
| 8050s | you though coming in almost able to take |
| 8052s | complete control of that situation Rocky |
| 8054s | forces used the app to keep himself from |
| 8056s | going into the death thralls and zhangyu |
| 8059s | immediately able to flip that fight on |
| 8062s | its head after he's baits the F out and |
| 8064s | takes an elimination early Zhang Yu |
| 8067s | keeps it rolling here in game number |
| 8070s | three he shows no signs of slowing down |
| 8072s | anytime soon Mike more than happy to |
| 8074s | just till top side here he's got full HP |
| 8077s | full armor and we see Jason's action |
| 8079s | down below just looking to threaten |
| 8081s | space with the scale Rush Mike more than |
| 8083s | happy to want to come in and try to |
| 8085s | cancel the healing here from exiting |
| 8087s | action able to get that pot off trying |
| 8089s | to create a ton of space with those dual |
| 8091s | blades Miss times the Perry though Mike |
| 8093s | able to get that charged vertical off of |
| 8096s | the long sword is going to do a ton of |
| 8097s | damage to Jason's action action coming |
| 8099s | top sign finds that other blue set of |
| 8101s | armor he knew was there immediately into |
| 8103s | the armor swap follow-up with the old |
| 8105s | into the backstep to do a ton of damage |
| 8107s | to aow's Mike looks to come inside |
| 8109s | potentially find some more pots and |
| 8111s | resources for himself that's exactly |
| 8113s | what he's gonna find he's gonna keep |
| 8115s | fighting here if he has the opportunity |
| 8117s | without us anyone extremely low here |
| 8119s | versus jdging genuine a player here that |
| 8123s | we've talked about all day has struggled |
| 8125s | to find any sort of mileage nothing he |
| 8127s | can do here the second backstab comes |
| 8129s | through he has no way to counter that |
| 8132s | walks out on top AOW Mike going |
| 8134s | extremely low J team's action keeping |
| 8136s | the pressure up Mike forced to use that |
| 8138s | pillar doesn't find the knockback from |
| 8140s | the pillar but will find |
| 8142s | terms of HP from the pillar and action |
| 8145s | going to keep the pressure up keeps |
| 8147s | those musket shots coming from range but |
| 8150s | never giving Mike the opportunity to |
| 8152s | create any sort of pressure on to Jay |
| 8154s | team's action action going to let him |
| 8157s | find the reset here because he knows as |
| 8158s | soon as that ultimate Burns through that |
| 8161s | he's going to be able to come out on top |
| 8163s | of this fight yes Mike has that purple |
| 8165s | army but action with the confidence |
| 8167s | wants to keep the pressure going comes |
| 8170s | in finds the charge left look off the |
| 8171s | dual blades almost instantly minces the |
| 8173s | arm off of Mike Mike going to find the F |
| 8176s | just in time to keep a single tick of |
| 8178s | armor there from j-team action puts him |
| 8180s | in the corner and says Mike it's time to |
| 8183s | go to timeout |
| 8185s | exactly as you said it he's got that |
| 8188s | confidence to extend this fight and |
| 8190s | continue pressuring Mike and he did |
| 8192s | exactly that and it looks like he's |
| 8194s | feeling himself and doing exactly the |
| 8196s | same thing coming in and just getting |
| 8199s | absolutely melted losing all of his |
| 8202s | armor but he's playing zipping so he |
| 8205s | regenerates all of it to quickly then |
| 8207s | get remove the once again but again it |
| 8211s | doesn't matter zipping gaming Xin forced |
| 8214s | to pop his material using those |
| 8216s | backstabs to try and bypass the blue |
| 8218s | Focus bypass the neutral and essentially |
| 8220s | try and take prio for himself however |
| 8223s | zipping is not having it zipping has |
| 8225s | that F2 available your light attacks |
| 8227s | mean nothing to me boy and the best sin |
| 8230s | is forced to try and get a reset here |
| 8233s | managed to find one of one blue pot who |
| 8236s | turns around and just sends the blue |
| 8238s | focus on those purple duel blades such a |
| 8240s | huge amount of damage but doesn't manage |
| 8242s | to secure the tech Chase and Fong takes |
| 8245s | him down on that Dodge holy moly |
| 8248s | extremely well done but from Bang |
| 8251s | the action doesn't stop though we're |
| 8253s | moving on over to zhangyu and Mike Mike |
| 8256s | has managed to find himself yet another |
| 8258s | purple armor he's got that Spear and |
| 8261s | pawn sword goes for the swap but doesn't |
| 8263s | manage to secure the kill just yet |
| 8265s | although he does manage to force out the |
| 8268s | ultimate from zhangyu and looks to looks |
| 8271s | to go for the reset instead as he |
| 8273s | doesn't have his ultimate available |
| 8274s | doesn't have those resources in |
| 8276s | abundance |
| 8278s | but it looks like he's found another |
| 8280s | player here GD young K looking to try |
| 8283s | and pick up a kill for himself this game |
| 8284s | he's got blue armor but he does have |
| 8286s | that purple dagger goes for the blue |
| 8288s | Focus release knowing that Mike is on |
| 8291s | the wall but he doesn't manage to catch |
| 8292s | him Mike running low on resources I |
| 8295s | think he's yes he's definitely gonna try |
| 8298s | and find some resources for himself I |
| 8299s | think he's heading over to that shop but |
| 8301s | here we have grecky now being fresh by |
| 8304s | Wang Liang forced to use the ultimate |
| 8306s | extremely low HP we don't know what |
| 8309s | armor he has just yet |
| 8314s | is that white |
| 8316s | I do believe how it's blue it's blue |
| 8318s | yeah it's blue yeah like not the best |
| 8320s | position to be him especially |
| 8322s | considering that he only has a white |
| 8324s | weapon unless he was parried oh yeah he |
| 8326s | was married he was parried has that blue |
| 8328s | staff pulls that out looking to try and |
| 8331s | use the staff momentum and movement but |
| 8334s | off to go for the dual blades instead |
| 8336s | perhaps you pick them up off the floor |
| 8338s | just then Wang Liang using that pole |
| 8340s | sword that r b sends the stone form and |
| 8343s | Spins it around when he sees the red |
| 8346s | extremely powerful pick |
| 8349s | also being able to redirect pretty much |
| 8351s | every single one of its blue focus is |
| 8353s | extremely useful when trying to bait out |
| 8355s | these parries but here we have the third |
| 8357s | party exin coming in sees it zipping and |
| 8360s | farrier I'll go for the ferry thank you |
| 8363s | very much Ferry I can't heal permanently |
| 8365s | can't frustrate me into Oblivion let's |
| 8369s | go for another although let's be honest |
| 8371s | very is extremely annoying to deal with |
| 8373s | as well but he did see that the ferry is |
| 8375s | old had been used |
| 8377s | but it doesn't look like Wang Liang is |
| 8380s | gonna let him have this for free he's |
| 8382s | going to continue to pressure they're |
| 8383s | just tag teaming in and out here moving |
| 8386s | over onto the Yang fight Mike getting |
| 8389s | overheld getting eating that blue Focus |
| 8393s | barrier versus Matari here choosing |
| 8396s | opting to pop the old reasonably early |
| 8398s | Mike manages to catch him on the Dodge |
| 8400s | backwards into the old sword swap gets |
| 8403s | backstabbed obviously go for the V3 does |
| 8405s | he get the blue Focus he does and he |
| 8408s | gets the jump LMP to finish him off at |
| 8411s | the very end there very nicely done by |
| 8413s | Mike |
| 8414s | you know I'm I'm usually a uh aggressive |
| 8417s | Matari lover I love to see mataris going |
| 8420s | in for the backstabs but unfortunately |
| 8422s | into Feria that still has oh when you're |
| 8424s | that low you're actually just hurting |
| 8427s | yourself right typically I want to see |
| 8429s | those teleports go in I want to see you |
| 8431s | aggressively extend combos but when |
| 8433s | Feria has that pillar the problem is |
| 8435s | coming out of backstab barrier just gets |
| 8437s | to press Z sends you flying and when |
| 8440s | you're that low the hit confirmed coming |
| 8441s | off pillar is an absolute death sentence |
| 8444s | we're gonna see T225 here looking to |
| 8446s | finally find a little bit of space here |
| 8448s | was able to hit xxy with the pillar |
| 8450s | follow it up with a huge uppercut combo |
| 8452s | off of the long sword the Perry does |
| 8455s | come through but both of them are gonna |
| 8457s | go down to the timer and find themselves |
| 8458s | with Yang depletion T225 not happy about |
| 8461s | that whatsoever still struggling to find |
| 8464s | their first elimination of the day not |
| 8466s | of the game of the day |
| 8470s | has not picked up a single elimination |
| 8473s | or placement all day so T225 really |
| 8477s | struggling to make anything happen so |
| 8479s | close to it he actually had control of |
| 8481s | the neutral looked to be the one coming |
| 8483s | out on top of that fight but gets timed |
| 8484s | out due to the uh Yang timer there very |
| 8489s | unfortunate we're seeing you on here |
| 8490s | trading blows onto aow's Mike Mike |
| 8493s | coming in following it up with that |
| 8494s | legendary stop but getting a staff |
| 8496s | turned on to them Shen you on trying to |
| 8498s | keep it moving here as multiple players |
| 8500s | coming in looking to find some rain |
| 8502s | shots on other players anyone actually |
| 8504s | gonna be bought safety here by Young K |
| 8507s | who sees aow's Mike does not see Shen |
| 8509s | you on yonkey gonna continue to pressure |
| 8512s | aow's Mike but we are in celestra this |
| 8514s | is where things get sticky for so many |
| 8516s | players so many surfaces to scale rush |
| 8519s | off of so many places for these players |
| 8521s | to escape Mike finds a blue armor the |
| 8523s | armor swap into as well turns the fight |
| 8525s | immediately on to Yankee Yankee gonna be |
| 8527s | forced to back out of it Mike going to |
| 8530s | let him because he wants to armor swap |
| 8531s | back into that purple armor get it |
| 8533s | healed up and uh get himself back in the |
| 8536s | position he was in and not lose that set |
| 8538s | of armor Mike the king of finding those |
| 8541s | extra armors when he needs to keep five |
| 8543s | here indeed looks like he has been able |
| 8545s | to find an elimination somewhere but he |
| 8547s | needs to find another one uh if he wants |
| 8549s | to get rid of this Yang depletion uh I |
| 8552s | didn't see him pick up that elimination |
| 8553s | so he does finally have an elimination |
| 8555s | for the day he needs to find a second |
| 8557s | though if he wants to keep this game |
| 8558s | going action gonna get sniped from |
| 8560s | downrange and it's Zhang you who picks |
| 8563s | up the elimination does Zhang Yu keep |
| 8566s | our boy to do five from getting uh he |
| 8568s | sold them I'm not quite sure oh my God |
| 8570s | he was able to get it T25 goes so low oh |
| 8574s | my goodness Zhang you just barely |
| 8576s | holding on his T25 blitzes through the |
| 8578s | HP bar there with that long sword those |
| 8581s | slashes coming through zhangyu forced to |
| 8583s | try to keep the pressure up now gonna go |
| 8585s | for the Cannon Mode here needs to find a |
| 8587s | way to get some resets T225 just |
| 8590s | resetting in his face and Zhang Yu |
| 8591s | hasn't popped a hill yet we'll find one |
| 8593s | heal go for the cannon shot not able to |
| 8596s | find the knockback looks for another pie |
| 8598s | you're gonna opt to heal the shield for |
| 8600s | the second time gonna find yet another |
| 8602s | one here he tried to go for the kingdom |
| 8604s | mode but the old's gonna run out zhangyu |
| 8606s | comes out isn't it situation T225 not |
| 8609s | happy at all about the steal kill being |
| 8612s | stolen from him but he did find that |
| 8615s | Soul Bloom he was looking for continues |
| 8617s | to pressure onto zhangyu and zhangyu |
| 8619s | more than happy to let the fight |
| 8621s | continue to play out he's got those dual |
| 8623s | blades looking to lock T225 down with |
| 8626s | that charge left click you get a ton of |
| 8627s | damage coming out gt25 though with the |
| 8630s | staff trying to find those optimal |
| 8632s | weapon swap combos we talked about |
| 8633s | before jangyu able to catch him out in |
| 8636s | that charge left click doing a ton of |
| 8637s | damage the pillar coming through from |
| 8639s | the players here but xxy |
| 8642s | looking to find an elimination because |

| 8690s | players xxy and T225 and this time xxy |
| 8695s | gets the soul Bloom off of zhangyu's |
| 8698s | elimination and keeps himself alive |
| 8700s | zhangyu keeping the hopes and dreams of |
| 8702s | these players alive and then turning |
| 8704s | around and crushing them |
| 8708s | holy moly the damage was insane Zhang |
| 8712s | Yoon |
| 8714s | xxy both Villas coming out xxy does it |
| 8718s | he's not commissioned after his spinner |

| 8731s | from those farriers we saw so many olds |
| 8733s | so many kills stolen so much damage |
| 8738s | Jesus that was nuts but here we are |
| 8741s | moving on over to the Yang Wang Liang |
| 8745s | actually opting to go into Yang as |
| 8747s | zipping which |
| 8749s | to be honest in a farrier Lobby |
| 8752s | I would uh the Parry to 1v1 |
| 8755s | respectable I respect the these guys |
| 8759s | their bodies you know they're they're |
| 8761s | boys everyone in everyone in these games |
| 8764s | they know each other they fight each |
| 8766s | other on a day-to-day basis Wang Liang |
| 8768s | though opening up the blue Focus release |
| 8770s | gets parried by Mike but has that |
| 8773s | ultimate and F2 available on zipping |
| 8775s | it's managed to stay topped up he does |
| 8778s | get overheld though Wang Liang losing |
| 8781s | all the help that he just regenerated |
| 8782s | and again gets blue focused Mike's |
| 8785s | sending all the blues goes for the jump |
| 8788s | Harry with that very uh well-known line |
| 8791s | you send both Blues get them into |
| 8793s | parrying oh get them get them to try and |
| 8795s | release to try and match you |
| 8797s | oh Mike yet again getting overheld just |
| 8801s | a little bit |
| 8803s | and but there it is the if you see his |
| 8807s | face |
| 8809s | if you see his face in the cam he's just |
| 8811s | chuckling to himself I bet you he just |
| 8814s | looked over to Mike and he was just like |
| 8815s | everyone |
| 8818s | dude stop sending those Blues stop |
| 8822s | creeping bro what are you doing the mic |
| 8824s | just looks over at him |
| 8828s | oh goodness I love it I love it one |
| 8831s | thing I wish we could see more of you |
| 8833s | know like the the relationships and the |
| 8835s | the the friendships and the the memes |
| 8838s | and the joking around between these |
| 8840s | players I think that would be so funny |
| 8841s | to see because it's definitely something |
| 8843s | that they do and Wang Liang though a |
| 8846s | pre-prepped soul Bloom here's one I |
| 8848s | prepared earlier Wang Liang never goes |
| 8850s | into Yang without a soul bloom in his |
| 8852s | pocket so here we are moving on over |
| 8855s | Mike |
| 8857s | both play wait is that both players with |
| 8859s | with yankov or is that the Bounty I |
| 8861s | can't tell |
| 8865s | for a second oh my God taking down rain |
| 8869s | by the way I want to talk about the fact |
| 8870s | that we're down to uh six players at the |
| 8873s | start of zone three and we have OC |
| 8876s | zhangyu with five eliminations in his |
| 8879s | pocket already like that oh my goodness |
| 8883s | Zhang you and Mike really just cleaning |
| 8886s | these lobbies up today like quite |
| 8887s | honestly in both games it's been aow's |
| 8890s | mic in first place and Jang Yu hot on |
| 8892s | his heels but right now Zhang Yoo in a |
| 8895s | pole position here with two eliminations |
| 8896s | over top of aow's Mike six players left |
| 8900s | alive in the lobby these players when |
| 8902s | you're this early into the game and you |
| 8904s | only have six players left remaining you |
| 8907s | can afford to take fights the the third |
| 8910s | party risk is extremely minimal zhangyu |
| 8913s | here with the legendary nunchucks going |
| 8914s | on about us and you shouldn't go on here |
| 8916s | unfortunately the third party is |
| 8917s | available here from Mike and the |
| 8919s | question is just Zhang you or might pick |
| 8921s | up this morning |
| 8922s | you tries to get it but no it's gonna be |
| 8925s | Mike who comes in gets the Perry picks |
| 8927s | up the legendary nunchucks as well |
| 8929s | genuine or sorry Zhang Yu not happy |
| 8932s | about this sin you are not happy about |
| 8933s | it either because he's eliminated but |
| 8934s | Zhang you so mad that he lets himself |
| 8937s | get third party the kill taken away from |
| 8939s | him gonna be forced to make up here |
| 8941s | knows that he's just gonna have to take |
| 8943s | the reset here he can't really do |
| 8945s | anything to pressure Mike in the given |
| 8947s | situation because Mike still has |
| 8949s | ultimate still has abilities available |
| 8951s | and was able to get that Perry into this |
| 8953s | legendary nunchucks zhangyu just needs |
| 8955s | to back away from this fight as far away |
| 8957s | as he can and not let Mike create |
| 8959s | pressure onto him as a player and it's |
| 8962s | kind of interesting to see all of these |
| 8964s | players so close to each other given how |
| 8966s | much space still exists on the map we're |
| 8969s | still zone three just now collapsing on |
| 8972s | to zone four and all of these players |
| 8974s | for some reason all in the same space |
| 8977s | um no yeah for sure I mean Zhang Yu I |
| 8980s | think the main reason why he opted to go |
| 8982s | in this direction was because this |
| 8984s | specific Temple this building on the |
| 8987s | edge of celestra is is one of those |
| 8989s | spots where you can just kite for days |
| 8992s | you can there's countless Windows Ledges |
| 8996s | little crevices the building itself on |
| 8999s | the inside is massive there's so much |
| 9001s | space to move around in and it's just |
| 9003s | one of those spots that if you're under |
| 9005s | pressure If you manage to make it to |
| 9007s | this like to to one of these specific |
| 9009s | locations you can manage to stay alive |
| 9012s | for far longer than you would have been |
| 9015s | able to in an open space it's just like |
| 9018s | the tower up next to Eventide Temple the |
| 9021s | the one with about four different levels |
| 9024s | with the little gap between the roofs |
| 9026s | just the ability to stay on the Move |
| 9029s | constantly and being able to get the |
| 9030s | reset maybe recharge your ultimate what |
| 9033s | have you you know these kind of spots |
| 9036s | are exactly the spots that you need to |
| 9038s | be aware of in this in these high |
| 9040s | pressure high pressure games high |
| 9043s | intensity games because if you don't |
| 9045s | have this kind of knowledge you're more |
| 9048s | than likely going to get shipped and |
| 9051s | picked apart by the lobby as everyone's |
| 9053s | looking to come in and vulture kills and |
| 9055s | get those low effort points for |
| 9057s | themselves but Mike here what's the |
| 9060s | zipping and it's on The Chase |
| 9064s | yeah Mike Mike is just absolutely hungry |
| 9066s | here but I mean it's literally just this |
| 9069s | back and forth dance today between aow's |
| 9071s | Mike and OC zhangyu it really feels like |
| 9074s | the rest of the lobby just can't compete |
| 9076s | with these two particular players and |
| 9078s | zhangyu not in bad for him he's been |
| 9080s | second every single game consistently |
| 9083s | putting points up on the board he's |
| 9084s | already moved past uh wbg Spider in |
| 9087s | terms of points Zhang Yu also able to |
| 9089s | come in finds the legendary armor here |
| 9091s | from the box more than happy about his |
| 9094s | position in life also going to be able |
| 9096s | to find another legendary weapon to |
| 9098s | replace the legendary weapon he lost to |
| 9100s | the Perry uh from aow's Mike earlier it |
| 9103s | chills on the box waiting to see if the |
| 9105s | Matari is going to TP back |
| 9107s | Everybody Looking For the Kill and |
| 9110s | zhangyu with a snipe from quite |
| 9113s | literally downtown into the Matari who's |
| 9116s | invisible goes to six eliminations |
| 9119s | already oh |
| 9123s | players oh |
| 9125s | and AOW Mike absolute monsters |
| 9129s | dominating and decimating these lobbies |
| 9132s | can nobody Dethrone these two players |
| 9135s | today what in the world was that zhangyu |
| 9139s | literally that shot like one in a |
| 9142s | billion shots |
| 9143s | invisible she just teleports She's So |
| 9147s | Far Away Zhang Yu just comes in with the |
| 9149s | complete confidence oh my goodness Mike |
| 9152s | and Zhang you looking to go head to head |
| 9155s | here need to be very careful though |
| 9156s | there are four players left alive if |
| 9158s | this fight breaks into third party |
| 9161s | potential both of these players could |
| 9162s | find themselves in a poor positioning |
| 9164s | Zhang Yu in that positioning right now |
| 9167s | is juventus's recky looks to show up XI |
| 9169s | Jiang Yu is low wants to capitalize on a |
| 9171s | zhangyu with that legendary long sword |
| 9173s | has also picked up that Phoenix blast |
| 9176s | Soul Jason so much damage coming out on |
| 9178s | the mic |
| 9185s | is an absolute monster today Rocky picks |
| 9189s | up the soul balloon but does not care |
| 9191s | oh my gosh |
| 9194s | ain't eliminations what am I watching |
| 9206s | the damage the man has built different |
| 9211s | Asian does not care the film explores |
| 9216s | the oh my I mean long so Phoenix plus it |
| 9220s | does so much damage you just it's it you |
| 9225s | get hit by that you're getting |
| 9227s | obliterated but here we have the final |
| 9230s | fight Jiang Yu versus Wang Yang zhangyu |
| 9234s | manages to catch Wang Liang in that |
| 9236s | grapple longstone infinite but drops it |
| 9238s | on the third the third confirmation |
| 9241s | sadly Wang liangzhou manages to catch |
| 9244s | the blue Focus release from zhangyu |
| 9246s | managed to catch that double that double |
| 9248s | hold Parry Zhang Yoon now on the back |
| 9251s | foot and he bring it back here pop pops |
| 9254s | the pillar holds blue doesn't |
| 9256s | immediately dive into his mess and he's |
| 9258s | now on the back foot |
| 9260s | nothing |
| 9264s | does it doesn't even matter Zhang Yoo so |
| 9269s | I ate eliminations in a second it like |
| 9271s | usually clearly the MVP look Wang Ling |
| 9274s | gonna be happy about picking up the |
| 9276s | elimination but this game alone sets OC |
| 9281s | Zhang Yu on Pace to beat his day one |
| 9285s | what an explosive game from OC zhangyu |
| 9289s | oh my goodness and when we saw it when |
| 9293s | we saw his face coming out of that game |
| 9295s | just now I think that's the most emotion |
| 9297s | we've seen on a single playing space in |
| 9300s | mbpl for a very long time but a man was |
| 9304s | smiling he was happy with himself I am I |
| 9308s | am a bit surprised that Mike opted to |
| 9310s | Greed and not go for the mech not go for |
| 9314s | that uh a transformation there he opted |
| 9317s | to just sit there and hold the blue not |
| 9319s | expecting Xiang Yu to just ugly boogly |
| 9322s | send the phoenix bustler like I think he |
| 9325s | was gonna go for uh a Clank perhaps or |
| 9328s | something or maybe he expected him to go |
| 9331s | for the double hold and went and was |
| 9333s | like prepping to go for uh double charge |
| 9336s | Parry |
| 9337s | but I don't know I mean it was a bit |
| 9339s | greedy for my for Mike definitely still |
| 9342s | happy with his performance he's still |
| 9343s | been doing extremely well today |
| 9345s | holy what a game dude a banger dude this |
| 9352s | is the thing with Zhang Yoo too zhangyu |
| 9354s | came in swinging today out of the gate |
| 9357s | and zhangyu is a player that as the day |
| 9360s | goes on only gets better this is |
| 9362s | something we've seen from zhangyu as a |
| 9364s | player in general not even just this |
| 9366s | week as he's swapped his strategies but |
| 9369s | as a player he suffers the most during |
| 9372s | games one in game two where he kind of |
| 9374s | has a little bit of that rust he's |
| 9376s | trying to warm up he's trying to get |
| 9378s | that rust off of him and throughout the |
| 9381s | day his score typically goes up right so |
| 9384s | here we are game three he's already had |
| 9387s | two second place finishes very decent |
| 9389s | points on the board for both of those |
| 9391s | games comes in almost you know goes to |
| 9393s | nine eliminations in first place finish |
| 9395s | goes into eight unfortunately Wang Liang |
| 9397s | able to come out on top it seems like |
| 9399s | Zheng Yu really the mental of fighting |
| 9402s | so many z-pings today is I think what |
| 9404s | bogs me down in that moment he drops the |
| 9406s | pillar doesn't opt to go in the pillar |
| 9408s | wants to keep that pressure up and |
| 9410s | unfortunately there's just been so much |
| 9412s | zeping in his face today he he kind of |
| 9414s | misreads that situation gets the long |
| 9417s | sword infinite turned on him and he does |
| 9418s | end up losing there but again eight |
| 9420s | kills in the second place finishes a |
| 9421s | huge amount of points for a solos game |
| 9424s | and he's still very happy with his |
| 9426s | performance here and I think we're only |
| 9428s | going to continue to see aow's Mike and |
| 9431s | OC Zhang you clean lobby after Lobby |
| 9434s | today nobody has been able to touch |
| 9437s | these two guys in terms of the amount of |
| 9439s | score that they have been putting on the |
| 9441s | board today these players are absolutely |
| 9444s | cracked out of their mind today |
| 9447s | and obviously with the parries as well |
| 9450s | they would just just turning around it |
| 9454s | felt like completely blind as well maybe |
| 9456s | he heard it in his ear heard the charge |
| 9459s | and just instantly turn around jump |
| 9461s | Harry in war in a huge amount of damage |
| 9465s | as well to have Phoenix blast Longs a |
| 9468s | gold long sword imagine if he'd had |
| 9470s | hepta imagine oh my goodness |
| 9474s | it was over he would have definitely won |
| 9477s | that game I think the main reason why um |
| 9481s | why he ended up losing at the very end |
| 9483s | there was because he was trying to |
| 9485s | maximize the amount of damage that he |
| 9486s | could put onto the Zippy because he knew |
| 9488s | that as soon as he ended that combo the |
| 9491s | zipping was going to use her F2 to space |
| 9494s | out and potentially get a reset so he |
| 9496s | was trying to get as much damage as he |
| 9498s | could going for the third |
| 9501s | um uppercut grapple cut cancel on the |
| 9504s | long sword grapple uh infinite is |
| 9507s | actually the one of the harder ones is |
| 9509s | you have to Grapple a little bit further |
| 9511s | than on the other on the on the first |
| 9514s | two as it's you're essentially pushing |
| 9516s | them further and further away from you |
| 9518s | when doing the combo so you have to make |
| 9521s | sure that you space it extremely well |
| 9523s | well otherwise it will drop and it |
| 9526s | exactly it's exactly what happened he |
| 9528s | manages to drop it off he doesn't get |
| 9530s | the correct grapple timing and like if |
| 9533s | he'd stopped after the second one and |
| 9536s | simply gone for the blue Focus he |
| 9538s | potentially could have come out on top |
| 9540s | there but oh my goodness it's very |
| 9542s | understandable you know like when you're |
| 9544s | fighting a zipping you want to try and |
| 9547s | maximize the the damage that you put |
| 9549s | onto the Zippy before they can use their |
| 9551s | S2 because otherwise it just feels like |
| 9554s | a kite Fest like it's just non-stop holy |
| 9558s | look at that that was tasty |
| 9562s | this replay reel is literally just the |
| 9564s | best of Zhang Yu mama here we're gonna |
| 9566s | cut the mic picking up this elimination |
| 9568s | on uh it's a rain but I do believe the |
| 9570s | rest of this is just gonna be zhangyu |
| 9572s | absolutely that snipe was so clean |
| 9575s | and then he comes in here and again Mike |
| 9577s | really reads it he comes in and he lets |
| 9579s | the left click rip into zhangyu charging |
| 9582s | it Phoenix Blast for a second time we |
| 9585s | see Ricky actually pick up the soul |
| 9587s | Bloom there and pajangyu able to come in |
| 9589s | and completely clean the clock oh my |
| 9593s | goodness what a disgusting display |
| 9595s | coming out from you in this game oh |
| 9601s | he's a happy bunny he's very happy with |
| 9604s | this 15.8 game score it's insane |
| 9609s | it's actually insane what do we have the |
| 9612s | Sky Force Phoenix plus Target lock oh my |
| 9617s | God Target lock is is so so strong it's |
| 9622s | so hard to deal with this Jade is if |
| 9625s | you've ever encountered a player who has |
| 9627s | aim |
| 9629s | it's just it feels so ah you're just |
| 9634s | stuck there and you're just desperately |
| 9636s | scrambling to do anything about it but |
| 9639s | the |
| 9640s | holy moly Zhang Yoo pulling out a huge |
| 9646s | game |
| 9647s | do you actually a quick question do you |
| 9649s | know the um the record for the highest |
| 9652s | point game in a Solo game so last season |
| 9655s | when there were two more players |
| 9657s | available so 16 players in the lobby |
| 9659s | instead of 14. uh wbg Spider picked up |
| 9662s | 10 eliminations and a first place finish |
| 9664s | uh and currently still holds the record |
| 9667s | for the most amount of eliminations the |
| 9670s | most amount of points uh picked up in a |
| 9672s | single solos game it's gonna be very |
| 9674s | hard for anybody to beat that uh given |
| 9676s | the fact that we are now going to a 14 |
| 9679s | player Lobby instead of a 16 player |
| 9681s | Lobby and realistically we talk about it |
| 9684s | there's four less kills available uh |
| 9687s | because of course you have that early |
| 9689s | resurrection and very rarely do these |
| 9691s | players not utilize that resource in the |
| 9694s | lobby right they're looking to pressure |
| 9695s | as many fights as they can while they |
| 9697s | have that rebirth available trying to |
| 9699s | stack as many points as they possibly |
| 9701s | can |
| 9702s | um so typically two less players means |
| 9705s | four less eliminations and a lot be so |
| 9708s | it's kind of hard to get to but zhangyu |
| 9710s | here gets very very close if you had |
| 9711s | been able to pick up that elimination |
| 9713s | onto Wang Liang he would have been one |
| 9715s | kill short of tying the record in a |
| 9717s | lobby with two less players which |
| 9719s | honestly would have felt like a |
| 9721s | record-breaking game given the fact that |
| 9724s | there were two less players in the lobby |
| 9725s | yeah to achieve that |
| 9728s | on a lot in lobby where there's two left |
| 9731s | well four less total eliminations to be |
| 9733s | had it's it's Quite a feat you know like |
| 9736s | you have to be coming out swinging you |
| 9738s | have to be like having the game of your |
| 9741s | life you know it's |
| 9744s | it's a sight to see he he's definitely I |
| 9747s | was worried I remember saying at the |
| 9749s | very beginning that I was worried that |
| 9751s | he would come in today having performed |
| 9753s | extremely well in the last on his on his |
| 9756s | previous day thinking oh I need to I |
| 9759s | need to make sure that I do well you |
| 9761s | know I need to make sure that |
| 9762s | last last week doesn't look like a fluke |
| 9765s | you know I I I I can perform I can fight |
| 9770s | and scrap it out and with the best of |
| 9772s | them you know everybody and that's he |
| 9775s | wasn't worried he's not worried he's |
| 9777s | feeling himself but anyway we are going |
| 9779s | to be heading over to a quick interview |
| 9781s | and we will be right back game four |
| 9785s | thank you |
| 9788s | hey guys this is Yeager |
| 9790s | [Music] |
| 9794s | only Hello to our audience |
| 9798s | is |
| 9803s | so first we know that you're using the |
| 9805s | the PE in the game three and I know like |
| 9808s | some audience they have the different |
| 9810s | ideas and I would like to know how one |
| 9812s | Leon comment on this hero no show since |
| 9814s | I always |
| 9820s | um |
| 9833s | [Music] |
| 9846s | so in my opinion I think this hero is |
| 9850s | really fit to the speed of the match |
| 9852s | because it's like it has less attack in |
| 9856s | the skills like compared with other |
| 9858s | Heroes but it can be very good at |
| 9861s | survive and save save to the end of the |
| 9864s | game and it's very hard and very |
| 9866s | important to our players so that's why I |
| 9869s | think Japan is a really strong hero in |
| 9871s | the matches |
| 9878s | so let's move on to the next part answer |
| 9881s | for treasure you guys can see a question |
| 9883s | on the screen and if you know the answer |
| 9885s | just type them in the chat box after our |
| 9888s | player counting three two one we will |
| 9891s | take a screenshot and the lucky guy will |
| 9893s | be whispered okay so let's see today's |
| 9895s | question |
| 9897s | question is who is leading the |
| 9900s | scoreboard now 18 years |
| 9929s | foreign |
| 9948s | I just asked him one layer because in |
| 9951s | the end of the game three it seems like |
| 9953s | Xiang Yu and one they have one-on-one |
| 9955s | fighting at the end of the game so how's |
| 9957s | feeling he's feeling for Changi and he |
| 9960s | said he thinks xiangyu today is really |
| 9963s | confident because he needs to do the |
| 9966s | repeat charge and it seems like he has |
| 9968s | something new to show and have less |
| 9970s | pressure now and it's the time for us |
| 9973s | and for him to show himself okay I think |
| 9976s | our player is prepared and let's start |
| 9979s | counting now to the London guys |
| 9985s | three two one screenshot okay it's time |
| 9990s | for us to find out the correct answer |
| 10006s | okay so we are going to have to buy |
| 10009s | weekly final but for one now maybe it's |
| 10011s | a hard time for you |
| 10012s | um because it seems like you're like |
| 10014s | like um before the game three you're |
| 10016s | like 14. yeah and I would like to know |
| 10019s | how's your feeling and like how you will |
| 10021s | adjust in the rest of the game |
| 10024s | which is |
| 10043s | foreign |
| 10050s | [Music] |
| 10081s | thank you for today's interview and we |
| 10083s | will take a break and be right back |
| 10085s | later |

| 10356s | [Music] |
| 10372s | welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the |
| 10374s | rock of Blade Point pro league as we |
| 10376s | take a look we are at the halfway point |
| 10377s | and we're going to be looking at our |
| 10380s | scores thus far today unfortunately uh |
| 10383s | for many a fan watching at home Casey's |
| 10387s | Master demo has uh fallen into 15th |
| 10390s | Place which means he will not be heading |
| 10392s | into the bi-weekly final uh demo we love |
| 10395s | you brother hopefully we get to see you |
| 10397s | uh coming strong during the repcage and |
| 10400s | make it into the season final and if not |
| 10403s | we wish you luck in Season Two Brother |
| 10406s | uh Yankee unfortunately having a pretty |
| 10409s | stuff day as well with a 4.4 overall |
| 10411s | score for the day in the middle of the |
| 10413s | pack we're taking a look at the Players |
| 10414s | here who are at risk of being eliminated |
| 10418s | and one of those players is alliance's |
| 10421s | gin holding on to that 11th Place |
| 10422s | position but uh these other players |
| 10425s | still have three games to put points on |
| 10427s | the board two of those players being |
| 10428s | Wang Liang and kele's fawn two very top |
| 10432s | tier players here so Jen if is watching |
| 10434s | right now has got to be sweating bullets |
| 10437s | and unfortunately for gs's T225 |
| 10439s | continuing to struggle today a 1.7 in |
| 10443s | game number three they had two fat zeros |
| 10447s | per game one and two and while they were |
| 10450s | able to find a single elimination this |
| 10452s | game Unfortunately they fell victim to |
| 10454s | the Beast that is ocg look at this he's |
| 10457s | only played three games today three 33.6 |
| 10461s | points on the board aow's Mike just a |
| 10463s | couple more points on the board 34.7 but |
| 10466s | of course oshijang Yu had a blistering |
| 10469s | day one for himself with a 48.3 game |
| 10473s | score he's currently sitting at the top |
| 10474s | of the pack outpacing wbg's fighter at |
| 10477s | an |
| 10478s | 81.9 and he still has three games to go |
| 10482s | Duncan I know he has |
| 10486s | I I think he might break the record |
| 10488s | today I mean this guy he's |
| 10491s | like he doesn't care I I one thing |
| 10496s | though when when you mention two two |
| 10497s | five he's having he's having a bit of a |
| 10500s | hard time however I like you could see |
| 10504s | it I I talked about earlier when he gets |
| 10506s | his stride when he gets into his stride |
| 10507s | when he gets going he's really hard to |
| 10510s | deal with and in that one moment in that |
| 10512s | last game he had already gotten a kill |
| 10514s | he was fighting in that sort of two-way |
| 10516s | then became a three-way fight he got the |
| 10519s | soul bloom after he had his kill stolen |
| 10521s | and then he got he got he was feeling |
| 10525s | himself he was back to his Peak |
| 10528s | Performance he was sending the long |
| 10530s | sword win slashes he just stood in place |
| 10533s | and sent three back to back and took |
| 10536s | down the enemy player so low they were |
| 10539s | forced to old and sadly he didn't come |
| 10541s | out on top there he only had the blue |
| 10544s | armor he was a bit of a disadvantage and |
| 10546s | it just I mean it is what it is but like |
| 10549s | he's like when he gets when he gets when |
| 10552s | he gets going he gets going yeah |
| 10556s | c225 is one of those players again I |
| 10559s | think we all expected huge things out of |
| 10561s | c225 given his performance in the world |
| 10563s | championship I don't think anyone |
| 10565s | questions whether T225 deserves to be |
| 10568s | here or has the skill to win right |
| 10570s | unfortunately for him as a player he is |
| 10574s | one of those players like when wbg |
| 10576s | spider first came on the scene he was |
| 10578s | very feast or famine it's only very |
| 10580s | recently that spider has started to |
| 10582s | figure out how to find those middle of |
| 10584s | the road games and find that level of |
| 10587s | consistency a player like T225 is old |
| 10591s | wbg spider where he's extremely feast or |
| 10594s | famine he has really big pop-off games |
| 10597s | he's able to come in and again he had |
| 10599s | like a 30 point day right on his first |
| 10602s | date so that's a very respectable score |
| 10604s | that's a top end of the leaderboard sort |
| 10607s | of score for a one day uh player but the |
| 10611s | problem is is is now he's coming in he's |
| 10613s | not been able to find the momentum he's |
| 10615s | wanted in his second day and he lets |
| 10618s | that get to him he's not able to find |
| 10621s | any sort of bearing when he has a bad |
| 10623s | game so that's that sort of feast or |
| 10625s | famine play style we talk about all the |
| 10627s | time and T225 suffering from that that |
| 10630s | said he's still very new to the league |
| 10632s | right it took wbg spider all of season |
| 10635s | two all of the world championship and |
| 10638s | most of this season to sort of figure |
| 10641s | out how to overcome that feaster famine |
| 10644s | play style to find those sort of |
| 10646s | middling games so T225 definitely still |
| 10649s | has uh the time to overcome that and |
| 10653s | he's not a player who's going to be |
| 10654s | going home anytime soon |
| 10657s | um no you're absolutely right it none of |
| 10660s | these players look at it and look at the |
| 10661s | drop down now these players are looking |
| 10663s | to go down quietly they all want to come |
| 10666s | out swinging they all want to show how |
| 10669s | ugly they can get you know a holy moly |
| 10673s | Jiang Yoo has been decimating people |
| 10676s | left and right it feels like he's just a |
| 10681s | Titan that is like this where has this |
| 10686s | man been this whole time like where has |
| 10689s | he been it's just he just woke up and |
| 10693s | chose violence today he and then in the |
| 10696s | in the previous week he woke up and he |
| 10699s | was just I'm ready |
| 10702s | he's gonna take everybody down and I'm I |
| 10707s | love to see it I love to see players |
| 10710s | that haven't all I mean he's definitely |
| 10713s | been a really well performing player in |
| 10716s | the past but so far in the past in the |
| 10720s | past three bi-weeklies he's not been |
| 10722s | putting too many points on the board |
| 10725s | correctly if I'm wrong but I don't think |
| 10727s | he's had a single day's performance that |
| 10730s | even comes close to what we've been |
| 10733s | seeing in this bi-weekly so I don't know |
| 10736s | what he's done and as we heard in the |
| 10738s | interview there with Wang Liang that |
| 10741s | he's he sees that he's feeling a lot |
| 10744s | more confident with himself I mean he's |
| 10746s | I think bringing out |
| 10748s | these new things that |
| 10751s | that people haven't seen before or also |
| 10753s | we heard so I don't know what exactly |
| 10758s | it is that he's doing it's it's possible |
| 10761s | that it's quite frankly just the sheer |
| 10764s | confidence you know when you're feeling |
| 10767s | confident with yourself with your |
| 10770s | ability with your |
| 10772s | like ability to read situations and just |
| 10777s | your general |
| 10779s | uh for the lack of a better word Aura |
| 10782s | you know the the presence that you exert |
| 10785s | in the game it's very hard to overcome |
| 10790s | this mental Edge so to speak because |
| 10793s | that's what it is when you go into a |
| 10795s | fight with this kind of attitude you |
| 10798s | have a mental Edge over your opponent |
| 10800s | unless you're going up against somebody |
| 10802s | like Mike or potentially spider |
| 10805s | potentially Wang Liang even all of these |
| 10808s | players who I feel have this kind of |
| 10811s | mental attitude and tone so to speak |
| 10815s | when they go into fights in these kind |
| 10817s | of games and it's very hard to deal with |
| 10821s | oh yeah and I mean I want to take a look |
| 10823s | here sorry not to take away from your |
| 10826s | point here as we take a look at the hero |
| 10827s | picks though we're looking at a very |
| 10829s | Tarka valda Matari heavy Lobby and this |
| 10834s | is a very very interesting setup for a |
| 10838s | lot of these players you know valdo |
| 10840s | really able to cancel Tarka out of his |
| 10843s | ultimate Tarka really able to capitalize |
| 10845s | onto mataris and matari's able to use |
| 10848s | that backstab to capitalize and come out |
| 10850s | on top of fights typically uh against |
| 10853s | valda so we we've got a little bit of a |
| 10855s | rock paper scissors in terms of the hero |
| 10857s | select going here I think we saw one |
| 10859s | Takeda a couple of zepings but |
| 10862s | realistically most of this Lobby being |
| 10864s | mataris Valdez and tarkas is going to be |
| 10867s | a very interesting breakdown and look |
| 10869s | all the way down here we're gonna see a |
| 10871s | ton of these players heading towards the |
| 10873s | south side of the map as four players if |
| 10875s | his drop immediately on to one another |
| 10877s | as we take a look over at Shadow Jade |
| 10879s | we're gonna see genuine and Fang |
| 10880s | dropping down looking to take all of |
| 10883s | that juicy loot in that golden loot Zone |
| 10885s | being on Shadow Jade that's a lot of |
| 10888s | loot for two players to potentially comb |
| 10890s | through and there's a lot of little |
| 10892s | crevices and places to maneuver |
| 10894s | throughout that space so it's gonna be |
| 10896s | interesting to see how that fight breaks |
| 10898s | out as we turn our attention now dosi |
| 10901s | Zhang you uh front running player this |
| 10905s | man has been absolutely on fire a demon |
| 10909s | if you will here in these lobbies him |
| 10913s | and aow's Mike really just sweeping |
| 10915s | these lobbies under the rug and almost |
| 10918s | every single ending Zone has turned into |
| 10921s | a fight between OSI zhangyu and aow's |
| 10924s | Mike yeah no I I would like to say |
| 10926s | appoint something else real quick Zhang |
| 10929s | Yu went for a firefly that very few |
| 10932s | people are aware of and it's lovely to |
| 10934s | see as I am the Firefly encyclopedia as |
| 10937s | many of you may know |
| 10939s | I know the the exact location of every |
| 10943s | single one of them I am a big advocate |
| 10946s | for their utilization |
| 10948s | um but yes indeed here we have Fong on |
| 10952s | that Takeda going into Shen Yuan |
| 10954s | managing to catch him on the way down as |
| 10958s | he falls to the ground having canceled |
| 10960s | out the F1 bubble with his F3 gold Focus |
| 10964s | he just goes straight through it just oh |
| 10968s | and catches him out extremely nicely |
| 10970s | done by Fong there but here we are on |
| 10973s | the edges of celestra |
| 10975s | choosing and x-run |
| 10979s | scrapping it out here extra run with |
| 10981s | that Cannon trying to apply some |
| 10982s | pressure from range but choosing looks |
| 10985s | like he's managing to stay at a safe |
| 10987s | distance Mike going for the overhold |
| 10990s | into the double stage Parry but doesn't |
| 10992s | manage to get it gets overhauled even |
| 10995s | then forced to pop his ultimate forces |
| 10998s | out the old of the opposing taka as well |
| 11001s | instead of going for the reset Ops to go |
| 11003s | back in |
| 11005s | oh we guess the punch goes into f x in |
| 11009s | looking to back off now neither target |
| 11011s | has F available |
| 11013s | Mike's looking to try and make something |
| 11015s | happen as he altered although it was |
| 11018s | only a few moments before action it |
| 11022s | still makes the difference so if you get |
| 11024s | caught |
| 11025s | at the end of your ultimate and the |
| 11027s | opposing target has a couple seconds it |
| 11029s | can be the difference between life and |
| 11031s | death in these kind of lobbies Mike now |
| 11035s | heading over to let to celestra not |
| 11038s | really looking to extend that fight with |
| 11040s | the taco yeah no not whatsoever |
| 11042s | unfortunately you burnt your ultimate |
| 11044s | you're you're in a poor position in |
| 11045s | terms of armor celestra might not be the |
| 11048s | best place I was actually about to say I |
| 11051s | don't think it's the place he should be |
| 11052s | to be honest with you yeah you know very |
| 11055s | typically a ton of fights breaking out |
| 11057s | he has white armor he has no ultimate |
| 11059s | it's not where you want to be as a |
| 11060s | circuit we turn over we see Wang Liang |
| 11062s | getting eliminated here in this fight uh |
| 11064s | with jails ego and ewg Jew Ron ego the |
| 11067s | one picking up that elimination forced |
| 11069s | to use the ultimate there does get a |
| 11071s | backstab off is gonna look to up the |
| 11073s | pressure away here uh get a potion or |
| 11076s | sorry get a shield bought off there uh |
| 11078s | get a little bit of a reset as the |
| 11081s | Lester really is turning into this |
| 11082s | massive fighting Huron comes in with |
| 11085s | that's very on the young guy here |
| 11087s | follows up with the jump right click as |
| 11089s | well now looking to come in with the |
| 11091s | katana continuing to give Chase Geron |
| 11093s | really wanting to pick up an elimination |
| 11095s | here as they've struggled to find too |
| 11097s | much in the space of eliminations today |
| 11099s | so jiron wanted to keep the pressure but |
| 11101s | unfortunately the third party coming |
| 11103s | through from jdging going to keeps you |
| 11105s | run from pressuring this elimination on |
| 11108s | Dion Kai and it's more than happy to |
| 11111s | pick up where she left off coming in |
| 11113s | putting a ton of damage out onto young |
| 11115s | guy young guy can be forced to use that |
| 11117s | up trying to get some of that armor back |
| 11119s | here goes and throws two parries but is |
| 11121s | not punished for whipping either of |
| 11124s | those parries very very lucky there |
| 11126s | given the space if they were in Kaley's |
| 11128s | pong here finding themselves head to |
| 11129s | head with events and recce the only |
| 11132s | Takeda in the lobby here zeping going to |
| 11135s | pop the bubble trying to hold on to the |
| 11137s | fight bang able to pop the ultimate and |
| 11139s | find the elimination Ben goes to two |
| 11142s | kills and sends it the Z pain packing |
| 11146s | absolutely there we are moving on over |
| 11150s | to Mike having upgraded from white to |
| 11154s | blue armor now almost has his ultimate |
| 11156s | available not a bad spot to be in |
| 11159s | considering that Yang is about to come |
| 11162s | up so I think |
| 11165s | the majority |
| 11167s | are probably going to opt to stay in |
| 11169s | celestra as we have quite a few mataris |
| 11172s | I think the mataris are going to try and |
| 11173s | stay in celestra where they are |
| 11176s | strongest but here we have Fong |
| 11180s | scrapping it out with a sin here exiting |
| 11182s | on the Tarka |
| 11184s | has somewhat of a Health Advantage due |
| 11187s | to the purple armor manages to get the |
| 11189s | catch |
| 11190s | doesn't have the pole sword swap doesn't |
| 11193s | take the full potential damage Fung |
| 11196s | still on the run though has ultimate |
| 11199s | available goes for the armor swap but |
| 11201s | exit turns around gets the lmb canceled |
| 11203s | out by the F3 |
| 11205s | trying to back it away here x in not |
| 11209s | looking to take too much of a risk |
| 11212s | who uses the ultimate to armor through |
| 11216s | the uh blue Focus scale Rush there Xin |
| 11219s | using his ultimate to break out of the |
| 11222s | Stagger shortly afterwards and now on |
| 11224s | the Run |
| 11225s | I'm not sure but I really hope he knows |
| 11228s | where the Firefly is yeah action really |
| 11231s | not in a great position he was forced to |
| 11232s | go ahead and pop the ultimate there is |
| 11234s | still forced to keep going so he's |
| 11236s | burning that charge down and the Decay |
| 11238s | to their phone if you notice popped his |
| 11239s | ultimate as soon as the target popped is |
| 11241s | right he didn't want to find himself in |
| 11244s | a situation where he could get infinited |
| 11246s | and he couldn't potentially pop his own |
| 11248s | ultimate so he just goes ahead and burns |
| 11250s | it Ops to go for the chase is unable to |
| 11253s | successfully find the chase so we're |
| 11254s | gonna see that he ends the ultimate |
| 11256s | early there trying to keep a little bit |
| 11257s | of that charge when we are heading into |
| 11259s | zone two almost completely collapsed on |
| 11261s | sorry Zone one almost completely |
| 11263s | collapsed onto zone two meaning those |
| 11265s | Realms of Yang getting ready to come |
| 11267s | through and many many of these players |
| 11269s | looking to take an aggressive stance |
| 11270s | onto those Realms of Yang we're to see |
| 11273s | Mike here shenuan Kaylee's Fong all |
| 11275s | looking to try to pressure this face so |
| 11277s | that they can get inside the realm of |
| 11280s | Yang and this is exactly where Mike |
| 11282s | wants to be he's on Tarka a very |
| 11284s | aggressive character character very are |
| 11286s | you able to win these sorts of Realms of |
| 11288s | Yang unfortunately uh he's gonna have it |
| 11291s | taken away from him here and now just |
| 11292s | needs to turn his attention on to shiny |
| 11294s | one and shenuan really in a bad |
| 11296s | situation as aows might get able to use |
| 11298s | the tech Chase on those nunchucks to |
| 11300s | follow up and get a clean elimination |
| 11303s | there without even having to use his |
| 11305s | ultimate and we'd see no ultimate coming |
| 11307s | out from Shen Yuan not the place you |
| 11309s | want to be uh if you're playing valda |
| 11311s | here in The nbpl gales Fong going head |
| 11315s | to head here with uh GSS t2225 d225 on |
| 11318s | the target pick here we're gonna see |
| 11320s | Fong trying to go ahead and bait the |
| 11322s | ultimate out here doesn't want to burn |
| 11324s | his if he doesn't have to he does |
| 11326s | finally find the ultimate and is in a |
| 11328s | position where he's going to be forced |
| 11329s | to use it we're gonna see Tarka more |
| 11331s | than happy to go ahead and trade the |
| 11333s | ultimate back they're gonna use the F to |
| 11335s | armor through the lovely merciles Havoc |
| 11338s | there and find the hit he needs to |
| 11340s | clutch up the fight Wang Liang Gonna Pop |
| 11342s | the ball to Old a little prematurely all |
| 11344s | in the Target you're not able to find |
| 11346s | with the white armor here trying to |
| 11349s | really turn this fight on |
| 11351s | absolutely going ham with these dual |
| 11354s | blades finds the follow-up hit confirm |
| 11356s | into the tech Chase finds the neutral |
| 11359s | return and Against All Odds Wang Liang |
| 11362s | comes out on top against j-team's action |
| 11364s | holy mostly |
| 11366s | the damage so one thing I'd like to talk |
| 11371s | about |
| 11372s | although today with this most recent |
| 11375s | patch with the new season |
| 11378s | uh staff spear into great sword pole saw |
| 11382s | is getting nerved the weapon swap is |
| 11384s | getting nerved however |
| 11387s | other weapon swaps still exist just like |
| 11391s | way League literally just showed them |
| 11395s | the the lmb katana grapple cancel uh the |
| 11401s | uppercut into dual blade swap RMB and |
| 11406s | then with the follow-up RMB as well |
| 11408s | doing it massive damage and although |
| 11412s | it's not as |
| 11414s | let's say easy to execute as your staff |
| 11419s | uh staff and spear into pulse order |
| 11421s | Greatsword it is still devastating |
| 11424s | damage and realistically once you put in |
| 11427s | the time to learn it it is not all that |
| 11429s | difficult to do and I think that that is |
| 11432s | probably where the meta is going to go |
| 11434s | but uh here we have a bit of a scrap um |
| 11439s | from ego |
| 11441s | Mike I think as well in the wings on |
| 11444s | Taka |
| 11445s | and wait who is that I can't tell is |
| 11448s | that shenuan or choosing |
| 11450s | they're wearing Liang I can't read I'm |
| 11453s | sorry my eyes aren't so good but here we |
| 11456s | have Mike now aggressing onto Fong |
| 11458s | bonking him in the back with that |
| 11461s | nunchuck r b Fong |
| 11464s | manages to cut through those arrows Mike |
| 11467s | having spaced out looking for the trap |
| 11470s | with his F1 doesn't manage to get the |
| 11472s | confirmation though as Fong is man is |
| 11475s | able to use that dagger movement to his |
| 11477s | advantage and stay in a safe position we |
| 11480s | are moving over onto Wang Liang |
| 11484s | having been pressured by T225 on that |
| 11487s | taka feels forced to use his ultimate |
| 11490s | doesn't manage to get the connection |
| 11491s | though and is now getting griefed by the |
| 11495s | merciless from fun fun coming in and |
| 11498s | absolutely decimating Wang Liang but |
| 11501s | doesn't manage to secure the kill him |
| 11503s | for himself Mike now |
| 11505s | still open available T225 trying to make |
| 11507s | something happen with the remainder of |
| 11509s | his old timer I'm not sure if he's gonna |
| 11511s | be able to do all that much so far now |
| 11514s | catching the activation |
| 11516s | with a huge amount of damage bone marrow |
| 11519s | extremely low and he gets taken down oh |
| 11524s | my Lord my voice |
| 11528s | also gets taken down thankfully he does |
| 11531s | have that Phoenix Bloom buff |
| 11534s | this is this is exactly what AOW Mike |
| 11536s | needs if he wants to take that first |
| 11537s | place unfortunately Zhang Yu eliminated |
| 11540s | pretty early in this Lobby and you know |
| 11542s | you're you're bound to have that happen |
| 11544s | right the thing is you're not gonna be |
| 11546s | on top of every single game Shang Yu has |
| 11548s | a bad game this time but because aow's |
| 11550s | mic is nipping at his heel this is the |
| 11553s | perfect opportunity for Mike to start |
| 11555s | pressuring this Lobby his toughest |
| 11558s | opponent has already been eliminated if |
| 11560s | he can pick up enough points to catch up |
| 11562s | the first place he might be able to take |
| 11564s | that first place away from aow's Mikey |
| 11567s | we actually see here how zhangyu goes |
| 11570s | out zhangyu on the ball to pick here |
| 11571s | just getting put into the corner by T225 |
| 11574s | c225 coming back finding them on the |
| 11576s | resurrection and is going to do it again |
| 11579s | they actually get caught out in the |
| 11580s | turgle which will cancel the charcoal |
| 11582s | but Zhang Yu still looking to pressure |
| 11585s | the fight Target able to find the F able |
| 11587s | to find a little bit of a hit confirmed |
| 11589s | coming around with that charge left |
| 11590s | click on the staff and here we go into |
| 11592s | the uppercut hit confirmed with the |
| 11594s | staff the ball up into the bubble Zhang |
| 11596s | you go so low and we're gonna see here |
| 11599s | we talked about in the past about why |
| 11602s | Volta picks not super viable uh and it's |
| 11606s | something we see Valdez do time and time |
| 11608s | again is throw those bubbles try to use |
| 11611s | those bubbles as if it's something like |
| 11613s | a Yodo you may have three and they |
| 11615s | always fall victim to a hot swap into a |
| 11618s | ranged weapon while they're trying to |
| 11620s | heal in the face of an opponent who |
| 11622s | can't just aggressively pressure the |
| 11624s | bubble and unfortunately it's like they |
| 11627s | forget about it right it's like oh hey |
| 11629s | I've got the safety of my bubble and |
| 11631s | then a ranged weapon comes through and |
| 11633s | they go oh yeah I don't have the safety |
| 11635s | of my bubble so unfortunate to see uh |
| 11638s | Zhang Yu go down to that but it does buy |
| 11641s | Mike some much needed space to try and |
| 11644s | create some pressure in terms of the |
| 11646s | score line onto osti zhangyu no you're |
| 11650s | absolutely right and although we |
| 11652s | although you did mention that valda is |
| 11654s | able to shut down Tarka by canceling his |
| 11657s | ultimate I do I do feel as though that |
| 11660s | in an extended fight Target does end up |
| 11663s | coming out on top as although the |
| 11665s | ultimate does get canceled if he does |
| 11667s | get hit by that wave one it's reasonably |
| 11670s | easy to predict a lot of the time and at |
| 11673s | the same time when you get your ultimate |
| 11676s | canceled on Parker it's not going to |
| 11678s | zero you're still gonna keep whatever |
| 11680s | you had left over at the moment of |
| 11683s | cancellation but here we have T225 in |
| 11686s | Yang versus Wang Liang Wang Liang now on |
| 11689s | then a very bad spot here doesn't have |
| 11691s | alt available |
| 11693s | reasonably greedy to go into Yang here |
| 11696s | with no ultimate but he does get chunked |
| 11699s | down severely after that blue Focus |
| 11702s | scale Rush |
| 11708s | what |
| 11710s | see did you see that uh-huh I I think he |
| 11716s | got him in his toe or something I did |
| 11718s | not see his I didn't see him poke his |
| 11721s | head around that pillow I'm not gonna |
| 11722s | lie yeah I may have just missed it but |
| 11725s | this is something me and Raven were |
| 11727s | talking about last week with the pistol |
| 11728s | and why we see a lot of um Pro players |
| 11732s | specifically in solos end up favoring |
| 11734s | the pistol is it actually has that that |
| 11737s | wide shot right and you don't need to |
| 11740s | connect with all of the shots to be able |
| 11743s | to get a read on somebody you can throw |
| 11746s | that wide shot out and it's almost like |
| 11748s | fishing right if you're able to keep |
| 11751s | some damage on them you're able to keep |
| 11753s | Vision on that HP bar you know where |
| 11755s | they are and in this case a little bit |
| 11758s | different you're just able to catch |
| 11759s | somebody with that wide shot around that |
| 11762s | pillar just kind of tickle their toe a |
| 11764s | little bit and when you're as low as |
| 11766s | Wang Liang is in that given situation |
| 11768s | unfortunately all you need is a little |
| 11770s | toe tickling uh to find yourself |
| 11772s | eliminated T225 looking to go in head to |
| 11774s | head here with Jason's action this is |
| 11777s | interesting we're seeing uh teaching you |
| 11779s | five use a little bit of tech that was |
| 11780s | actually uh heavily nerfed on Tarka that |
| 11784s | jumping right click uh with the staff |
| 11786s | that we saw a lot of during uh the World |
| 11789s | Championship where Tarka was just able |
| 11791s | to Elbow into the jump right click uh |
| 11793s | with sphere or stop follow up with huge |
| 11797s | amounts of damage very hard to get away |
| 11798s | with D2 D5 able to land two of those |
| 11801s | hits onto J team's action despite the |
| 11803s | Nerf coming through I think uh action |
| 11806s | just didn't expect to see that coming |
| 11807s | out of atarca given the uh Nerfs that |
| 11811s | made it so much harder to land the uh |
| 11814s | follow-ups after the first one their |
| 11816s | aow's Mike now pressuring on to T225 |
| 11819s | though T225 with that pull sword in hand |
| 11821s | not really in an optimal situation might |
| 11824s | want to look to go back to the staff see |
| 11826s | if he can find that Connect into the |
| 11828s | weapon swap but uh apparently wants to |
| 11831s | keep fighting with it and this is this |
| 11833s | is this is why you don't see people uh |
| 11835s | engage with that legendary pull sword is |
| 11838s | uh because it is very very variable and |
| 11841s | Mike gets the read and is able to find |
| 11843s | the very Oddity survive T225 has a |
| 11846s | backup one in the pocket though |
| 11849s | [Laughter] |
| 11853s | is a backup armor to go along with it |
| 11856s | although it's a downgrade he still has |
| 11859s | some armor left over nicely done |
| 11862s | managing to stay alive there |
| 11865s | um but there's a couple points I would |
| 11867s | like to to talk about though the with |
| 11869s | the pole sword yes I I completely agree |
| 11872s | it is very periable however I feel as |
| 11875s | though it's it's either possible that he |
| 11878s | didn't expect Mike to Parry or he just |
| 11881s | like didn't manage to get the input in |
| 11884s | because you can turn all of Paul swords |
| 11888s | blue Focus attacks so if he'd turn the |
| 11891s | initial swing in the opposite direction |
| 11893s | and then spun it back around for the |
| 11895s | second or perhaps the other way around |
| 11898s | he probably could have avoided getting |
| 11900s | Parry there entirely but I'm not sure |
| 11902s | what really happened there rather |
| 11904s | unfortunate Wang Liang a rare occurrence |
| 11907s | bumping into those little uh sort of |
| 11911s | platform of rocks on the crane in this |
| 11914s | desert area getting knocked down but not |
| 11916s | getting stunned as it is one of those |
| 11918s | things that just doesn't stun not like |
| 11921s | the signs in celestra but here we have |
| 11923s | Wang Liang decimating his health for |
| 11927s | holy moly has no armor to speak of now X |
| 11931s | in on the back foot getting pressured by |
| 11934s | everybody surrounding him and forced to |
| 11936s | use his ultimate he does ought to go |
| 11938s | back to his purple armor as it did have |
| 11940s | a sliver of armor left over and he's |
| 11942s | going to have to heal it up regardless |
| 11944s | since the blue was empty so |
| 11946s | realistically you might as well go back |
| 11948s | and pick it up but here I'm not too sure |
| 11951s | if he's gonna make it out |
| 11953s | I don't think it's possible that the |
| 11955s | Firefly area that is kind of kiting |
| 11959s | towards is still in the zone but I'm not |
| 11961s | sure if he's gonna be able to pick any |
| 11962s | of them up as it's highly likely they've |
| 11964s | been taken already at this point in the |
| 11966s | game and yes certainly he does get taken |
| 11969s | down by Wang Liang yeah very very |
| 11973s | typical of the turtle oh my goodness |
| 11976s | jjh's rain oh |
| 11980s | my God Wang Liang picks up the |
| 11983s | elimination onto J team's action almost |
| 11986s | immediately regrets chasing as hard as |
| 11988s | he does |
| 11990s | he didn't that's what he died that's |
| 11993s | what he died too he died |
| 11995s | that was so unfortunate |
| 11998s | uh the pistol shot from rain allowing |
| 12000s | him to do just enough damage to get that |
| 12002s | elimination as well just oh my goodness |
| 12005s | the problem was like he just couldn't |
| 12007s | get to the soul bloom in time oh oh you |
| 12011s | hate to see it |
| 12014s | so close to buying himself back into |
| 12016s | this game and just can't find it |
| 12018s | who uh has struggled all day finding his |
| 12021s | way into this game finally here he's got |
| 12023s | that merciless Havoc you're trying to |
| 12025s | put in some spaces he's able to pick up |
| 12026s | that legendary armor does find the armor |
| 12028s | swap into the purple armor here though |
| 12031s | not wanting to give him the space to get |
| 12034s | back to that legendary armor d25 just |
| 12037s | gonna give it up needs to be careful |
| 12038s | though as he's looking to do it |
| 12040s | jjh comes in and picks up the armor and |
| 12042s | doesn't realize that the armor is so low |
| 12045s | though starts taking both shots oh my |
| 12047s | goodness next to the base there's no |
| 12049s | place to go he gets hit with multiple |
| 12051s | bone shots and the fire tick going to |
| 12054s | cut that healing for jjh's rain rain |
| 12057s | really into |
| 12058s | look at how little HP he gets back from |
| 12061s | popping that first healthbot thankfully |
| 12063s | Advanced till putting in work keeping |
| 12066s | rain alive here as that fire tick really |
| 12070s | cutting into the healing of those Bots |
| 12072s | now we're gonna see yonkai coming |
| 12074s | through and it's like this armor is |
| 12076s | absolutely cursed every player who picks |
| 12079s | it up finds themselves being dogged down |
| 12081s | by the lobby |
| 12083s | I was about to say he's picked up the |
| 12085s | custom |
| 12087s | that was extremely unfortunate but yes |
| 12089s | as you said that advanced heel managing |
| 12092s | to keep him alive getting a huge amount |
| 12095s | of value since he had so much of a |
| 12098s | health pool to heal up with that |
| 12100s | advanced heal Advanced heel comes in |
| 12102s | some clutch when you've got gold or even |
| 12106s | red armor although we don't see it very |
| 12108s | often Mike getting that Parry doesn't go |
| 12111s | for the repost Ops to just pick up that |
| 12113s | good stuff nice and I'll take that thank |
| 12116s | you very much |
| 12117s | he doesn't care I'll just have the |
| 12119s | weapon thank you that's all right and |
| 12121s | then he follows up after after having |
| 12124s | taken a little bit of a reset chilling |
| 12126s | he's got his gold stuff |
| 12128s | still rushing he's Tech chasing and he |
| 12131s | takes him down oh no wait tt25 manages |
| 12134s | to steal the kill away from Mike rain |
| 12138s | getting taken down the cursed armor |
| 12141s | quite literally young K now |
| 12145s | unzipping here |
| 12147s | I think probably zipping would be the |
| 12149s | one character that might be able to |
| 12150s | survive with the cursed armor so uh |
| 12153s | definitely I was gonna say perhaps not |
| 12156s | the best idea considering that it's |
| 12157s | empty and you're between two people but |
| 12159s | zipping you know might as well I think |
| 12162s | that she literally just got completely |
| 12164s | ignored as well Mike just does not care |
| 12167s | he's on he's he's going for T225 he's |
| 12170s | like you stole my kill bro give me my |
| 12173s | give me my points dude |
| 12175s | but T25 managing to pick up that kill |
| 12177s | for himself definitely nice to see |
| 12180s | considering he's not had the best of |
| 12182s | days |
| 12190s | legendary staff a legendary pole sword |
| 12193s | legendary dagger I mean Mike just has |
| 12196s | options for days here and he's got that |
| 12198s | merciless Havoc as well to go with the |
| 12201s | staff you know he's gonna do a ton of |
| 12203s | damage he's able to catch somebody out |
| 12204s | with it is pressuring hard onto T225 |
| 12207s | T225 trying to find a position to hold |
| 12210s | it together but the candid shots coming |
| 12212s | through getting absolutely griefed by |
| 12214s | the rest of the lobby teaching you five |
| 12216s | six eliminations of this but look at |
| 12218s | this six himself just holding on for |
| 12222s | dear life but unfortunately that's gonna |
| 12224s | be it for T225 as Mike is able to find |
| 12227s | the elimination with the bow shot Mike |
| 12229s | picks up his third elimination of the |
| 12230s | lobby oh my goodness starts bumping out |
| 12233s | tons of damage here with that legendary |
| 12235s | Staffing that merciles Havoc onto the |
| 12237s | zipping yoga here trying to make |
| 12240s | something happen here we're going to |
| 12241s | continue to just have that bubble popped |
| 12243s | here by that staff Mike coming in with |
| 12246s | the ultimate trying to pick up a new |
| 12247s | young guy but actually the terrain being |
| 12250s | Mike's worthiest enemy here not able to |
| 12252s | just follow up into that sort of |
| 12254s | infinite given the verticality of the |
| 12256s | terrain here and yonkai knows it wants |
| 12258s | to keep the pressure on to Mike wants to |
| 12260s | keep Mike from finding any advantage he |
| 12262s | can but Yom Kai finds the flat ground |
| 12265s | and because of that aow's mic will be |
| 12268s | able to stick to him with that sticky |
| 12269s | step and pick up the elimination Mike |
| 12272s | goes away with a first click finish in |
| 12274s | four eliminations and it's gonna walk |
| 12276s | away your MVP no wait a minute maybe |
| 12278s | Mike is under MVP maybe it does it does |
| 12281s | no |
| 12284s | let's go boy he comes out swinging |
| 12288s | finally it's good to see I'm glad and |
| 12293s | I'm glad it was on a talking game |
| 12294s | because I I like folks if you didn't |
| 12296s | know |
| 12300s | definitely doing a really good job there |
| 12302s | I feel like quite a few of his kills |
| 12304s | were uh sort of kill steals just cheeky |
| 12309s | little pistol shots you know |
| 12314s | um very nicely done very very good |
| 12316s | performance from him uh considering that |
| 12318s | he's not had the best to start the day |
| 12321s | being able to overcome or essentially |
| 12325s | maintain good mentality going through |
| 12328s | into the following games is always |
| 12330s | really good to see and it's something |
| 12332s | that you're going to see from these |
| 12334s | veteran players from these |
| 12337s | experienced gods in the nvpl being able |
| 12341s | to stay level-headed and not tilled as |
| 12345s | we all know tilt is never a good thing |
| 12348s | although to be honest sometimes when I |
| 12351s | get tilted it makes me play better |
| 12353s | because I'm just so angry and I just get |
| 12357s | really ugly |
| 12360s | sometimes you you throw some things you |
| 12363s | normally wouldn't when you're in those |
| 12365s | situations sometimes that actually plays |
| 12367s | to your advantage we saw that uh earlier |
| 12369s | with c225 in the game before where it |
| 12371s | just throws the three blues back to back |
| 12373s | gets a ton of mileage out of it |
| 12374s | unfortunately it doesn't pick up the |
| 12376s | elimination but you can actually end up |
| 12378s | just like we don't see it too often in |
| 12381s | nbpl but one two threes coming out from |
| 12384s | uh players in ranks and stuff you can |
| 12386s | catch people off guard especially at |
| 12388s | high tiers of play they don't expect to |
| 12390s | see a one two three come out you hit him |
| 12391s | with the one too and they're like oh |
| 12392s | okay they're gonna go back to neutral |
| 12394s | you just send the blue and they're like |
| 12395s | wait Did they really just do that to me |
| 12397s | hold on |
| 12399s | you're not you're not prepared for it |
| 12401s | mentally you're just like wait a minute |
| 12402s | there's no way they just did that I I |
| 12405s | I've fallen victim to that too many |
| 12408s | times I'm ready |
| 12409s | I'm just I I'm playing against somebody |
| 12411s | they just they just do some really |
| 12414s | stupid stuff and I'm just |
| 12416s | I'm just stunned and I I just my brain |
| 12420s | turns off and I can't handle the the |
| 12423s | oogly boogly this |
| 12425s | but it's actually one thing that uh |
| 12429s | Rings tried and true many a time and |
| 12433s | that that's it if you want to beat a |
| 12436s | more experienced player |
| 12438s | just do stupid stuff because if they |
| 12442s | don't know what if you don't know what |
| 12443s | you're doing they don't know what you're |
| 12444s | doing so you can just flip it and live |
| 12449s | with me with it but here we have it T225 |
| 12453s | coming out on top with that mvp 11 |
| 12456s | points |
| 12458s | very nice Definitely the game he needed |
| 12461s | I think very he's very very happy about |
| 12464s | his performance in this game this is the |
| 12465s | game he needed to get himself uh back |
| 12467s | into the day to to be start feeling |
| 12470s | himself going into games five and six |
| 12471s | here unfortunately Oshi zhangyu does get |
| 12474s | eliminated early and it's by c225 T225 |
| 12477s | really uh causing a lot of Havoc here |
| 12480s | for our boy Oshi Zhang Yu and it |
| 12483s | actually gives aow's Mike a chance to |
| 12485s | catch up to Zhang you and might be able |
| 12488s | to take back that first place position |
| 12490s | now is it's going to be extremely tight |
| 12493s | and you know it's really unfortunate |
| 12495s | that we see zhangyu go down so early in |
| 12497s | this game but typically speaking you're |
| 12500s | going to have at least one bad game |
| 12502s | realistically out of six games very |
| 12505s | rarely do we see players have just six |
| 12507s | good games back to back to back |
| 12510s | um so this is kind of par for the course |
| 12512s | what you would expect from these top |
| 12514s | players oh |
| 12517s | again you know somebody somebody brought |
| 12519s | up curve in the bullets there it's like |
| 12520s | the movie Wanted where they just kind of |
| 12522s | yeah |
| 12525s | love to see it coming through from T225 |
| 12528s | T225 uh able to find so many of those |
| 12530s | third-party opportunities if we get up |
| 12532s | by the way this is where things go |
| 12533s | entirely wrong We're Young Yankee using |
| 12535s | that verticality to really throw Mike's |
| 12538s | old off there if you notice as soon as |
| 12540s | yonkey hits flat and ground Mike has out |
| 12543s | it's over nothing to do with that Z |
| 12545s | thing so just go ahead and get out of my |
| 12547s | lobby as we take a look here did you do |
| 12549s | Vive walking away uh with the MVP here |
| 12553s | for game at number four 17 000 damage |
| 12556s | six eliminations two parries in this |
| 12558s | game thunderstorm merciles Havoc uh |
| 12560s | really good Soul Jades here look at this |
| 12562s | thunder called this plays a huge role in |
| 12565s | the number of eliminations that we see |
| 12567s | T225 get today he has 4K damage from |
| 12570s | bissells most of his damage coming from |
| 12572s | the staff but at the end of the day |
| 12574s | realistically like you said most of his |
| 12575s | eliminations weren't from fighting they |
| 12578s | were from these cheeky little pistol |
| 12581s | shots that he's just able to get off on |
| 12583s | these sort of third parties and pick up |
| 12585s | those eliminations even in the fight |
| 12586s | that he does take him of Yang it's off |
| 12589s | the back of the pistol that he picks up |
| 12590s | that elimination against Wang Liang and |
| 12593s | like again you're just like how does he |
| 12595s | hit that shot but it's one of those |
| 12597s | things with the pistol man that spread |
| 12599s | is so unpredictable sometimes especially |
| 12602s | at close range or around a corner like |
| 12605s | that you'll just have a bullet go |
| 12607s | sometimes where it really shouldn't |
| 12610s | and it's so interesting to see T225 put |
| 12613s | that mechanic to work absolutely pick up |
| 12616s | a ton of eliminations and you know hey |
| 12617s | what's funny is Wang Yang with the Yang |
| 12620s | depletion goes through picks up an |
| 12621s | elimination is forced to go up onto his |
| 12623s | ultimate to try to get away so he can't |
| 12626s | get to the soul Bloom and then teach you |
| 12628s | two fives just like pops him with the |
| 12630s | pistol and it's like okay cool you can |
| 12633s | go now Yang to please he picks up the |
| 12636s | elimination and it's like bye have a |
| 12637s | beautiful time see you and why you know |
| 12640s | Wang Liang I I wish we'd cut to like a |
| 12643s | superimposed of Wang layang's face |
| 12644s | because you know he had to be so |
| 12646s | frustrated about that turn of events |
| 12648s | you're able to pick up the elimination |
| 12650s | but you're not able to push forward and |
| 12653s | get that Soul Bloom to buy yourself back |
| 12655s | into the game you're almost full health |
| 12657s | you're in your ultimate you should be |
| 12658s | safe and you still just poop out of |
| 12661s | existence and that's |
| 12663s | that's the misery of it that's why we |
| 12664s | see so many players not go for that |
| 12666s | second realm of Yang and I think that's |
| 12668s | what we saw happen with Wang layang |
| 12670s | right you talked about how he came in he |
| 12672s | didn't have his ultimate available which |
| 12674s | is kind of griefing yourself but |
| 12676s | realistically we've seen Wang Liang take |
| 12678s | that second set of Realm of yang so many |
| 12681s | times and go uncontested I think in Wang |
| 12684s | liang's head he is in a position where |
| 12686s | he really needed to just sort of go okay |
| 12689s | I'm gonna go in here I need to get some |
| 12691s | better armor I need to find myself into |
| 12693s | the late game if I go uncontested |
| 12695s | because so many players are avoiding the |
| 12698s | second realm of Yang it's just free |
| 12700s | armor it's a free buff for me I'm in a |
| 12702s | good situation unfortunately it turns |
| 12705s | against him in this particular instance |
| 12707s | where it's not a free realm of Yang he |
| 12710s | doesn't have the ultimate available |
| 12711s | there's just nothing he can do and then |
| 12713s | as if to just remind him hey this was a |
| 12717s | bad decision he gets griefed coming out |
| 12719s | of the realm of Yang trying to find that |
| 12722s | Soul Bloom gets timed out to it and you |
| 12724s | can bet money Wang Liang is gonna think |
| 12727s | twice about heading into that second |
| 12728s | realm of Yang after that game yeah no I |
| 12731s | absolutely it's it's you what the point |
| 12734s | that you made about so many secondary |
| 12737s | yangs going completely uncontested it's |
| 12740s | very true that there are a lot of people |
| 12742s | who now as going into second Yang is so |
| 12746s | much more of a risk than going into the |
| 12748s | first Yang due to the fact that there |
| 12751s | are far fewer players at that point in |
| 12753s | the game meaning that you are far less |
| 12756s | likely to get a fighter get that Soul |
| 12758s | Bloom and then on top of that at that |
| 12760s | point in the game |
| 12762s | everyone's sort of tiptoeing around not |
| 12766s | looking to necessarily go into position |
| 12769s | one and take that fight and aggress |
| 12772s | themselves but to try and find the low |
| 12776s | effort kill and vulture those points |
| 12778s | with with very little risk so |
| 12782s | because you're because you have the Yang |
| 12785s | depletion you're forced to do that and |
| 12788s | forced to take that role of the |
| 12790s | aggressor unless you get extremely lucky |
| 12792s | so it's definitely very hard to deal |
| 12796s | with that is a lot of the time unless |
| 12799s | the lobby is completely packed with |
| 12800s | people you're very unlikely to get that |
| 12804s | Soul blue yeah absolutely we've got a |
| 12806s | short video uh for you guys and then |
| 12808s | we'll be back to lock in for game at |
| 12810s | number five so don't go anywhere foreign |
| 12813s | [Music] |
| 12822s | [Music] |
| 12855s | typically being there to help and uh how |
| 12858s | euron wasn't there so they you know they |
| 12860s | started humming to themselves and I like |
| 12862s | to hear these strategies because we talk |
| 12863s | about how important mental is for a lot |
| 12865s | of these players so it's good to hear uh |
| 12868s | that not only do they have their |
| 12869s | teammates supporting them from behind as |
| 12871s | well but they have their own sort of |
| 12873s | methods uh to uh buy that sort of |
| 12876s | mentality back after a rough game |
| 12879s | um but I wanted to go back onto the |
| 12881s | point uh you were talking about earlier |
| 12882s | with the these sort of second realm of |
| 12885s | Yang and another big reason being |
| 12887s | that that first realm of Yang it's so |
| 12890s | worth taking that risk because if you |
| 12892s | can get |
| 12893s | that Vermillion Birds might you can |
| 12895s | aggressively go take fights and have a |
| 12898s | massive safety net if you get eliminated |
| 12900s | it's kind of whatever you get to respawn |
| 12902s | you get to keep all of your gear |
| 12904s | realistically all you're doing is giving |
| 12906s | somebody an extra point that you don't |
| 12909s | care too much about because you were out |
| 12911s | there fighting for the potential to pick |
| 12913s | up extra points uh whereas the second |
| 12916s | realm of Yang you're looking to pick up |
| 12918s | Mystic might and in solos very very |
| 12921s | different from trios coming out of uh |
| 12924s | zone three there's not a lot of brawling |
| 12927s | that is going on because that potential |
| 12929s | for third party from other players is so |
| 12932s | drastically high so even if you have |
| 12935s | that Mystic might you're able to track |
| 12937s | players down but you're at a stage of |
| 12939s | the game where it's very very risky to |
| 12943s | sort of all in other players even if you |
| 12945s | have that 25 damage reduction you don't |
| 12948s | have the safety net of the Resurrection |
| 12950s | it's almost not worth it to go out and |
| 12953s | pressure these sort of other fights so |
| 12955s | that information that you're getting |
| 12957s | from the Mystic might realistically |
| 12958s | going to waste when you come out of that |
| 12961s | realm of gangster the risk reward not |
| 12963s | really worth it Duncan well I completely |
| 12966s | agree and then not only that not only |
| 12969s | the fact that like of everything you |
| 12972s | just said but although it does give you |
| 12975s | information on people within that 100 |
| 12978s | meter radius once you get close enough |
| 12982s | to other people they know you're there |
| 12984s | because as you've most of you have |
| 12987s | probably seen in game when a team does |
| 12990s | have the Mystic Mike buff they |
| 12993s | emanate a sort of Aura and it it comes |
| 12998s | out from them as like the radius it goes |
| 13001s | outwards from from where they are in |
| 13005s | this in a circular in a circle and you |
| 13007s | can both hear it and see it through |
| 13010s | terrain so it becomes almost a |
| 13014s | disadvantage in some situations when |
| 13016s | let's say you've got the buff and you've |
| 13020s | been in a fight and for whatever reason |
| 13023s | you need to get a reset and you're on |
| 13025s | the back foot it becomes much easier to |
| 13028s | actually track you the person with that |
| 13031s | buff because of the buff animation the |
| 13035s | fact that it's very obvious where you |
| 13038s | are once the |
| 13040s | I can't I don't know the word to |
| 13042s | describe it the the UAV wave or whatever |
| 13045s | is or whatever you want to call it comes |
| 13048s | out and uh gives you that information |
| 13050s | but yeah I I don't know I don't think |
| 13054s | it's gonna be worth it to ever |
| 13056s | prioritize going into second Yang |
| 13058s | however as we did talk about |
| 13061s | second Yang does often go uncontested so |
| 13065s | if you're able to wait until the last |
| 13068s | second |
| 13070s | oh to go into that second yang |
| 13073s | and you can check on the map as well if |
| 13076s | you hover over the symbol for the realm |
| 13079s | of Yang how many players have gone into |
| 13081s | the Yang and how much time there is left |
| 13085s | on the uh on the entrance essentially |
| 13089s | like how long you have left to go into |
| 13091s | the realm of Yang so you can potentially |
| 13094s | time it very well if you go down to the |
| 13097s | wire if there's nobody in there you go |
| 13100s | in and instantaneously you win the realm |
| 13103s | of Yang and you get that Loop yourself |
| 13104s | but that's not something that you can do |
| 13107s | easily in a Lobby like this because |
| 13110s | people are going to be lurking around |
| 13112s | and it's highly unlikely that you're |
| 13114s | going to be able to sit there and wait |
| 13116s | until the very last second and go in |
| 13119s | young contested oh yeah I mean it's a |
| 13122s | huge risk across the board here as we |
| 13125s | turn to our match five though of course |
| 13127s | we're heading back over to hollerock |
| 13129s | jjh's rain already on the back foot as |
| 13133s | no surprise OC Zhang you just putting |
| 13135s | the business to Rainier rain able to |
| 13137s | find an armor swap though Zhang you |
| 13140s | gonna miss time the Perry but finds a |
| 13142s | Perry on the second one on to jjh's |
| 13145s | Reign and OC Zhang Yu is on the board |
| 13147s | and back in this game that is not what |
| 13151s | you want to do you send the blue you |
| 13153s | don't want to follow it up not with |
| 13155s | katana it is rather |
| 13158s | let's just say but here we are moving on |
| 13161s | over to T225 surrounded by players on |
| 13166s | that Matari with the blue pole sword |
| 13168s | trying to make something happen he gets |
| 13170s | the bug though |
| 13172s | does he manage to swap targets though I |
| 13175s | don't think they're gonna let him go I |
| 13176s | don't think they're gonna |
| 13178s | split off yeah sadly T225 although he |
| 13181s | did do a considerable amount of damage |
| 13183s | to that other party he wasn't able to |
| 13186s | swap the attention of the people who |
| 13189s | were chasing him shiny one now no armor |
| 13191s | to speak up does manage to get the lmb |
| 13193s | confirmed into mid Dodge lnb goes for |
| 13197s | the uh jumping lmv combo the jumping |
| 13200s | horizontal attacks in the air not the |
| 13204s | most optimal of combos however he does |
| 13207s | manage to uh equalize the health pool so |
| 13210s | to speak but here we have X run coming |
| 13213s | in for that third party having used F |
| 13215s | already but does manage to get a huge |
| 13217s | amount of damage doesn't get the |
| 13219s | uppercut Shen you are now on the back |
| 13221s | foot forced to use his his V3 pops down |
| 13225s | that pillar and immediately jumps into |
| 13227s | the mech so that he can try and reset it |
| 13229s | doesn't have a Vitalia though he's not |
| 13232s | going to be able to get the full reset |
| 13234s | sadly although it doesn't look like he's |
| 13236s | getting pressured no it looks like he's |
| 13239s | gonna go uncontested in fact that's |
| 13241s | rather fortunate |
| 13246s | the fact that they had no Vitalia uh |
| 13249s | could have been a huge detriment to them |
| 13251s | but you know this is the thing is you |
| 13253s | can't always see what your opponent has |
| 13254s | or doesn't have you see the mech come |
| 13256s | out most of the time you're just gonna |
| 13258s | assume they're gonna be able to get that |
| 13260s | reset so sometimes you have to make that |
| 13262s | decision to back off and not continue to |
| 13264s | pressure it Juventus is wrecky here |
| 13266s | though more than happy to keep the |
| 13268s | pressure up on to xcg's Huang Liang Wang |
| 13271s | Liang looking to get in a position to be |
| 13272s | able to use this explosion but |
| 13275s | unfortunately |
| 13276s | directly underneath them just able to |
| 13279s | complete really avoid and if you noticed |
| 13281s | Ricky actually Ducks uh uses the Crouch |
| 13284s | key there so that their hitbox is lower |
| 13287s | we we talk about that uh optimizing your |
| 13290s | gameplay here and recce knows exactly |
| 13292s | what they're gonna try to do there |
| 13293s | they're gonna try to get that explosion |
| 13295s | through the wall unfortunately for Wang |
| 13297s | Liang as they de-transform jdg's chujang |
| 13299s | waiting around the corner here and Wang |
| 13302s | Ling no gas left in the tank no F |
| 13305s | ability uh left available for them as |
| 13307s | they just used it to Zhang |
| 13309s | extremely easy very surprised that |
| 13312s | xujang popped ultimate for that quite |
| 13314s | honestly we see the F come out they knew |
| 13316s | they had no oh my goodness Vince is |
| 13317s | Ricky gonna get turned on here Ricky |
| 13319s | playing akazooie here yeah I was gonna |
| 13322s | say I hadn't noticed it before he's on |
| 13325s | the vehicles yeah so interestingly |
| 13327s | enough two acos in the lobby we haven't |
| 13330s | seen recce play it yet this patch uh and |
| 13333s | you know ako's not in a great state here |
| 13335s | there was a lot of quality of life Buffs |
| 13338s | that came out uh after this patch that |
| 13341s | we're playing on or akosui that really |
| 13344s | made him viable as a character |
| 13346s | Unfortunately they are playing on |
| 13348s | release akkos who doesn't have those |
| 13350s | benefits so it's very hard for these |
| 13353s | players to really find any sort of |
| 13355s | mileage here and you're seeing that come |
| 13356s | out as Ricky just trying to find |
| 13358s | anything all these players looking to |
| 13360s | aggressively go ahead and eliminate them |
| 13363s | from the lobby they know that they're in |
| 13365s | a vulnerable state recce going to be |
| 13367s | forced back to the soul alt already as |
| 13369s | jdg's tujang comes in and finds that |
| 13371s | elimination genuine on here very very |
| 13373s | low the fire ticket coming through and |
| 13376s | now we're gonna see the cannon Jack |
| 13377s | coming Chu Zhang gonna pick up a third |
| 13379s | elimination with a snipe here that's |
| 13382s | three eliminations two Zhang's been able |
| 13385s | to find from these sort of third-party |
| 13386s | situations aow's Mike not having any of |
| 13388s | it though coming in with that staff Mike |
| 13391s | really really favoring the staff this |
| 13393s | season because of the ability to hit |
| 13395s | confirm into those weapon swaps that we |
| 13397s | constantly see Mike on zipping yet again |
| 13400s | here saving those zipping pegs for the |
| 13404s | hollow Roth Maps is quite the favorite |
| 13406s | hero for this map xujang really starting |
| 13408s | to turn the fight around Unfortunately |
| 13409s | they aren't able to hit confirm because |
| 13412s | of the F2 it leaves Mike available to |
| 13415s | get that charge left click from the |
| 13416s | staff off and Mike takes control of the |
| 13419s | fight not only from the healing but the |
| 13421s | fact that they just can't do anything |
| 13422s | about the hit stun and this is why |
| 13425s | zipping is such an absolute Terror you |
| 13428s | get to heal you get to keep pressure up |
| 13431s | you're able to just completely ignore |
| 13434s | white attacks like they don't exist |
| 13435s | there are reasons why players dislike |
| 13438s | this hero they drag a fight out and they |
| 13442s | really take control of neutral in ways |
| 13445s | that other Heroes just are not capable |
| 13447s | of doing but somehow Choo Zhang minutes |
| 13450s | is to find a way to come out on top |
| 13454s | again Mike I feel like he's greeting |
| 13458s | with his F2 he's too he's too stubborn |
| 13462s | he keeps trying to save it for that F2 |
| 13465s | into Parry he keeps trying to save it |
| 13468s | till the last second when in reality if |
| 13471s | he literally just uses it on off cool |
| 13474s | them he's going to get so much value as |
| 13478s | zippings F2 the cooldown doesn't start |
| 13481s | once the effect has expired it starts |
| 13485s | the moment you throw out the blossom or |
| 13488s | whatever whatever it's called you can |
| 13491s | throw it out |
| 13492s | the cooldown will start and you in fact |
| 13495s | like you don't even have to pick it up |
| 13496s | the moment you throw it out but the |
| 13498s | cooldown still starts meaning that you |
| 13500s | can min max a lot with the uh with the |
| 13504s | zipping F2 Shen you on here although I'm |
| 13507s | not sure if he did take that kill I |
| 13509s | think he did he does lose a considerable |
| 13512s | amount of his health and is forced to |
| 13514s | use his ultimate although two kills on |
| 13516s | the board now after having just picked |
| 13518s | up that second one not too bad of a spot |
| 13521s | although I'm not sure if he's gonna be |
| 13523s | able to make it out alive he does have |
| 13524s | there are quite a few fireflies there's |
| 13527s | fireflies to the west and the East right |
| 13530s | here so if he's aware of them he could |
| 13532s | potentially kite towards that direction |
| 13534s | but it looks like he's opted to go |
| 13536s | towards these buildings as we all know |
| 13538s | buildings are extremely handy for kiting |
| 13541s | celestra catching and catching catching |
| 13544s | a celestra catching a zipping and |
| 13546s | retiring celestra is impossible although |
| 13548s | she's he's playing farrier it's still it |
| 13551s | still gives you quite a big advantage |
| 13553s | and here we have Xiang Yu and chuzang in |
| 13556s | the realm of Yang Jiang you having |
| 13558s | already popped alt chuzang as well |
| 13560s | having popped his ultimate I'm not sure |
| 13562s | if he has any of his dashes available it |
| 13565s | looks like he does and he gets the |
| 13566s | breeds getting a pretty considerable |
| 13569s | amount of damage but choosing tons of oh |
| 13571s | sorry gen you turns it around and guess |
| 13573s | the grapple combo into the Jubilee swap |
| 13576s | RMB blue and Zhang you taking down |
| 13579s | chuzang in the realm of Yang extremely |
| 13582s | nicely done there you know what's funny |
| 13584s | that's twice now in Realms of Yang we've |
| 13586s | seen that exact weapon swap combo uh we |
| 13589s | were talking about before and it's a |
| 13591s | very difficult combo to pull off |
| 13593s | compared to the staff in the pole sword |
| 13596s | or Greatsword so Zhang Yu putting it in |
| 13599s | an absolute work there finds their |
| 13600s | second elimination there this game has |
| 13602s | that Vermillion Birds might and this is |
| 13604s | where zhangyu is very comfortable being |
| 13606s | able to pressure the lobby as much as |
| 13609s | humanly possible Vince's recce here over |
| 13612s | in bloomed castle and you're gonna see |
| 13614s | that Sandstorm blowing through here but |
| 13616s | recce really happy about the turns event |
| 13619s | uh with this Sandstorm coming through |
| 13621s | because it means all of these treasure |
| 13623s | troves for the duration of that weather |
| 13625s | event are reset meaning that Wrecking he |
| 13628s | can come through here and it plumed is |
| 13630s | typically a place that has a lot of loot |
| 13632s | but is also looted very very early on |
| 13634s | into Hollow Roth but because the |
| 13637s | sandstorm resets those Pros is able to |
| 13639s | come in here and find tons of loot for |
| 13641s | themselves able to just continue to do |
| 13644s | uh that sort of space where they're just |
| 13647s | able to get resources they're going to |
| 13648s | need for late game unfortunately Gail |
| 13650s | Jose Calais Fang and a couple other |
| 13652s | players show up and are going to ruin |
| 13654s | his fun so to speak as uh they're not |
| 13657s | going to let him do that looting for |
| 13659s | free he's going to be forced out of the |
| 13661s | space not going to be able to find too |
| 13663s | much more here inside of plume Castle |
| 13666s | absolutely and right there actually as a |
| 13669s | as we talked about earlier do you |
| 13671s | remember when I told you about how if |
| 13673s | you don't apply the fire damage before |
| 13676s | the the person that you're trying to do |
| 13679s | exactly that to starts a heal like an |
| 13682s | ability heal or just an armor path or |
| 13685s | whatever whatever have you and it |
| 13688s | doesn't actually cut their healing |
| 13690s | and fun here just managing to get his |
| 13694s | pot started before the flame breath came |
| 13696s | in and does manage to get that portal |
| 13698s | and does manage to survive I feel like |
| 13700s | mainly because of that fact but how many |
| 13704s | people is this |
| 13706s | one two three full |
| 13710s | a fifth maybe six six people in this |
| 13714s | tiny little area Fong now on the back |
| 13716s | foot as well |
| 13718s | how's that blue dagger available his |
| 13720s | favorite weapon no surprises he does |
| 13723s | manage to turn there managed to do a |
| 13725s | decent amount of damage |
| 13727s | and uh prevent himself from getting |
| 13729s | focused down but you're okay here |
| 13730s | extremely low and sends the blue Focus |
| 13733s | Zhang Yu having that Phoenix Queen buff |
| 13737s | felt very comfortable going for that |
| 13739s | Parry wasn't all that bothered as he |
| 13741s | knew that he would make it out alive |
| 13744s | even if he died just then Rocky bouncing |
| 13747s | around trying to figure out which one of |
| 13749s | those armors has anything left in it |
| 13753s | it looks like he's older but it's now |
| 13755s | expired and he's on the Run has the |
| 13757s | dagger movement to keep him alive but he |
| 13761s | is getting pressured by multiple players |
| 13763s | it's going to be quite a hard Escape The |
| 13765s | Great Escape of Ricky can he do it on |
| 13768s | the acos surrounded by farriers and |
| 13770s | justina's |
| 13772s | yeah this is to make a decent on his |
| 13773s | face sorry because it's one of those I |
| 13775s | was gonna say this is one of the big |
| 13776s | detriments to being an acos on this sort |
| 13779s | of release patch is one you have to be |
| 13782s | sprinting to get that bonus movement |
| 13785s | speed from your jump in Ultimate and you |
| 13787s | can actually end up double jumping and |
| 13790s | canceling yourself out of the movement |
| 13792s | speed uh from the akkos |
| 13795s | um ultimate there so you find yourself |
| 13797s | in a situation where it's very hard to |
| 13799s | pull off are you sure that that's this |
| 13801s | patch |
| 13803s | there were three patches there was the |
| 13805s | acos release |
| 13807s | yes this is Acres release patch so is it |
| 13811s | okay yeah so there's no Buffs you have |
| 13814s | to be sprinting to be able to use jump |
| 13817s | um it's just there were so many quality |
| 13819s | of life changes after release akkos |
| 13821s | um that really made his ultimate much |
| 13824s | more viable and it's why we haven't seen |
| 13826s | a ton of these ocos players and it's so |
| 13829s | hard for these players to really |
| 13830s | capitalize on anything because you |
| 13832s | there's just no mileage to really be |
| 13834s | gained from that ultimate unless you're |
| 13836s | using it to just grapple on and extend |
| 13839s | some of that big damage out and he also |
| 13841s | of course doesn't have access to that V3 |
| 13844s | and F3 either so you were to see him |
| 13847s | using that here and that F2 has such a |
| 13850s | slow startup time you can actually just |
| 13852s | tap Dodge away from it so we haven't |
| 13854s | seen an akas actually land that F2 |
| 13856s | except once in this entire match here |
| 13859s | wait was that F2 there were two acoses |
| 13863s | I'm not sure I'm sure that one of them |
| 13866s | definitely was running F1 which was the |
| 13868s | slam defensive one uh it might have been |
| 13872s | uh F1 I may have misspoke on that one |
| 13874s | not sure unfortunately because yeah it's |
| 13876s | it's yeah no I agree like in these kind |
| 13879s | of scenarios though like it's hard to |
| 13881s | choose between the two I find like it |
| 13884s | can be difficult and as we all know now |
| 13888s | F3 on release is somewhat of elimination |
| 13893s | it's it's uh it's extremely hard to deal |
| 13897s | with and it is getting nerfed thankfully |
| 13899s | and uh I mean it's it definitely needed |
| 13903s | it it is it happens you know something |
| 13906s | gets released that's that's a little bit |
| 13908s | too strong and it quickly gets nerfed |
| 13911s | thankfully but uh yeah not having that |
| 13913s | available makes it so that it's rather |
| 13915s | hard to actually choose what you're |
| 13916s | going into these games with as F1 |
| 13919s | doesn't it does offer some reset |
| 13920s | potential but F2 being the combo F |
| 13924s | doesn't really give you that same safety |
| 13927s | however here we have Wang Liang versus |
| 13929s | Yang Yu in the realm of Yang Wang Yang |
| 13932s | and jangyu both having popped their |
| 13934s | ultimates both playing gold nunchucks |
| 13938s | that both have gold nuggets Wang Liang |
| 13941s | though does have that pillar available |
| 13943s | he does get the Parry bait gets him in |
| 13946s | the uppercut combo but oh sadly he |
| 13949s | doesn't manage to fetch him off farrier |
| 13951s | jumping into that Mech managing to stall |
| 13953s | only 25-ish seconds left on the clock is |
| 13958s | going to be able to burn through that |
| 13960s | Mech |
| 13962s | I think he has he's managed to do it I'm |
| 13964s | not sure what range weapon he had but he |
| 13966s | definitely did a considerable amount of |
| 13967s | damage but he gets the overheld Jiang Yu |
| 13971s | eating that dagger lmb blue into Soul |
| 13975s | break |
| 13976s | oh no you know I have to really disagree |
| 13980s | with Zhang Yu's uh choice of going into |
| 13984s | the second realm of Yang here as much as |
| 13986s | I love showing you as a player and |
| 13988s | they've really shown how dominating they |
| 13990s | can be today they have three |
| 13991s | eliminations under their belt and |
| 13993s | they're playing Matari into a Lobby full |
| 13996s | of Feria |
| 13998s | is just either going to make you tie |
| 14001s | that realm of Yang or win the fight |
| 14003s | against you because you're not able to |
| 14005s | use your backstab |
| 14007s | to gain any sort of advantage against |
| 14009s | Ferry ultimate I don't understand why |
| 14011s | Zhang Yu would make the call to go into |
| 14014s | the realm of Yang given how many varias |
| 14017s | are in this Lobby and you already have |
| 14019s | three eliminations in your boat you're |
| 14020s | really just kind of griefing yourself at |
| 14023s | that point given what we were talking |
| 14024s | about earlier with those sort of second |
| 14027s | rounds of gang it's not worth the reward |
| 14030s | for the risk it's such a high risk |
| 14032s | proposition there's seven players left |
| 14034s | in lobby zhangyu now needs to find an |
| 14037s | elimination very quickly uh apparently |
| 14039s | luckily for them they are very good at |
| 14041s | finding those eliminations you Rondo |
| 14042s | going for the infinite here on to that |
| 14045s | unfortunately will drop it due to |
| 14048s | terrain that old comes out is gonna go |
| 14050s | up here zhangyu is going to be forced to |
| 14052s | wait it out will not be able to get the |
| 14054s | extra backstab because of the ability to |
| 14057s | hold on to that old Jew Ron here will |
| 14060s | find a armor swap into a blue but it |
| 14063s | doesn't really matter for Zhang Yoo |
| 14065s | Zhang Yu risks it all in the realm of |
| 14068s | Yang and learns absolutely nothing |
| 14071s | because they come out and find the |
| 14073s | elimination they're looking for taking |
| 14075s | them to four eliminations tying them for |
| 14077s | the first place here in game number five |
| 14080s | yes indeed that is extremely unfortunate |
| 14083s | they're going up against those gold |
| 14085s | nunchucks is rather devastating the |
| 14089s | damage is is just it it hurts it hurts |
| 14092s | so much and uh we see exactly that come |
| 14097s | to pass here sadly as you are not |
| 14099s | managing to stay alive there and Zhang |
| 14101s | Yu managing to pick up that Soul Bloom |
| 14103s | to prevent his death from the Yang |
| 14106s | depletion |
| 14107s | um definitely I I completely agree with |
| 14110s | you though that is definitely not the |
| 14111s | play going into second Yang already is |
| 14114s | risky but when the lobby is full of area |
| 14117s | I don't know dude there's a roll |
| 14119s | yeah no honestly he griefs himself |
| 14122s | there's no reason |
| 14125s | you're going into two second realm of |
| 14128s | guy in a Lobby full of area you just |
| 14130s | you're absolutely grieving yourself |
| 14132s | speaking of being great for the Wang |
| 14133s | Liang getting griefed here by the Tarka |
| 14135s | with the staff on the edge of Zone here |
| 14137s | trying to hold it down on this Matari |
| 14141s | and not able oh no sorry Ferry I |
| 14143s | misspoke here as we see the Met come |
| 14145s | through xxj gonna be forced to retreat |
| 14148s | off the back of this Wang Ling look at |
| 14150s | this come on you what were you doing you |
| 14153s | knew that shot wasn't going to go |
| 14154s | through and hit xxy here the you know |
| 14157s | this is the difference we were talking |
| 14158s | about how grief those Huts are in Morris |
| 14161s | Isle these houses on the other hand lots |
| 14164s | of space to maneuver lots of places to |
| 14166s | get away from the sort of explosions |
| 14168s | Wang Yang looking to go for it again xxy |
| 14170s | just goes through the window more than |
| 14172s | happy to come back out unfortunately |
| 14174s | finds himself getting hit by that second |
| 14176s | shot and he's stuck in the zone as well |
| 14178s | Wang wants to pressure this while he can |
| 14179s | coming in with those legendary chunks |
| 14181s | legendary nunchucks versus legendary |
| 14182s | nunchucks and Wang Liang can overhold |
| 14185s | there because he has the F available he |
| 14187s | knows it uses the F to take control back |
| 14190s | of the neutral after the overhold fails |
| 14191s | and finds himself coming out on top |
| 14194s | that's going to be it for xxy did you |
| 14197s | see the that is oh it's so painful |
| 14202s | without alt is just rather useless |
| 14206s | certainly his F although a lot of people |
| 14210s | find it rather difficult to deal with |
| 14212s | when it comes to this kind of level of |
| 14214s | play these players aren't going to let |
| 14216s | you hit them with it you know like you |
| 14218s | not only do you have to get the person |
| 14221s | to hit into your F1 |
| 14224s | you have to actually reactivate it to |
| 14228s | and then you get to do something you |
| 14230s | know like then you get to apply the burn |
| 14231s | and potentially do an attack but there's |
| 14234s | there's it's far more conditional than a |
| 14237s | lot of other urbanities however I mean I |
| 14240s | completely agree that once you hit F1 it |
| 14243s | can be devastating but the fact that you |
| 14245s | actually have to meet these certain |
| 14247s | conditions to get that it makes it far |
| 14250s | more difficult to use in in this kind of |
| 14253s | environment which is an extremely |
| 14256s | important factor when it comes to Pro |
| 14257s | play you know |
| 14259s | ease of execution is always going to be |
| 14263s | a factor that's why I remember back in |
| 14265s | the Justina wuchen meta we would see a |
| 14269s | lot more Justina than we would see Wu |
| 14271s | Chen even though realistically wuchan |
| 14274s | was just as strong as Justina Justina |
| 14277s | was being seen much more often due to |
| 14280s | the fact that she was just easier to |
| 14282s | Pilot easier to execute what like you |
| 14286s | could get to your objective more easily |
| 14288s | than you could do with wuchan which is |
| 14290s | always going to be a factor since |
| 14292s | realistically we're not we're not robots |
| 14294s | we're not AI we make mistakes we are |
| 14298s | human and if there's less room for error |
| 14301s | it's always going to be a better choice |
| 14304s | when it comes to these kind of high |
| 14306s | pressure situations you know |
| 14309s | um but quickly back to Tarka when in |
| 14312s | that interaction there inside that |
| 14313s | little house |
| 14315s | he was literally just overholding and |
| 14318s | trying to essentially bait the Parry but |
| 14322s | because of farrier F the farrier was |
| 14324s | able to run up hold blue go for first |
| 14328s | charge Parry |
| 14330s | and then use the F so |
| 14333s | during that time the Tarka was not only |
| 14336s | taking damage from Zone but had also |
| 14338s | taken a chip bit of Chip damage |
| 14340s | initially and then eats the the farrier |
| 14344s | F1 which also does damage it's it's |
| 14348s | essentially an unwinnable situation and |
| 14350s | that's one of the reasons why Tarka has |
| 14352s | not been seen all that much recently as |
| 14355s | quite frankly without his ultimate he |
| 14357s | can suffer very hard but |
| 14361s | um and now that his ultimate has been |
| 14363s | nerfed not only the fact that you can no |
| 14366s | longer punch people when they are on the |
| 14368s | ground once you've knocked them down |
| 14371s | as long as it's flat Terrain |
| 14373s | and not only did they Nerf the stamina |
| 14375s | back to its original state but they also |
| 14378s | nerfed the duration of the first Harker |
| 14381s | ultimate the V1 from I think it was 40 |
| 14385s | seconds to 32 seconds so a substantial |
| 14388s | Nerf and it's uh definitely it's |
| 14392s | starting to Showcase here as we've seen |
| 14395s | far far fewer attackers than we were |
| 14398s | towards the beginning of the season of |
| 14401s | bi-weeklies and uh especially in |
| 14404s | contrast to last season the difference |
| 14406s | is is evident to see realistically I |
| 14409s | mean people are still playing him but |
| 14411s | they're not double picking him they're |
| 14412s | playing him every so often they're |
| 14414s | they're picking him maybe once maybe not |
| 14417s | even at all because at the end of the |
| 14419s | day there are better characters which is |
| 14423s | sad because I enjoy talking so much but |
| 14425s | it is |
| 14427s | unless your name's Panda man in which |
| 14429s | case you double pick Tarka anyway |
| 14436s | regardless but yeah you have to you have |
| 14439s | to be extremely Versed and experienced |
| 14442s | On Target to make him worth playing |
| 14444s | realistically otherwise it's just not |
| 14446s | it's just not the play yeah it's been |
| 14448s | really interesting to see the |
| 14449s | adaptations for Target too as well like |
| 14451s | we said we talked about uh that fireball |
| 14453s | sort of finding it space here which is |
| 14456s | kind of ironic because previous to the |
| 14458s | Nerfs to the F it was actually Fireball |
| 14460s | Tarka who saw some Hefty Nerfs even |
| 14463s | though he didn't see that much play and |
| 14466s | now that that uh F and the elbow have |
| 14468s | both been nerfed as well |
| 14470s | um you see a little more of that |
| 14471s | fireball coming out you see people like |
| 14473s | aow's Mike able to actually you know |
| 14476s | secure hits and extend combos off of |
| 14479s | knock-up with the fireball to not only |
| 14482s | just get a free ton of damage from the |
| 14483s | fireball uh to put out some of that |
| 14486s | healing from some of these other |
| 14488s | characters uh like zipping Yang but also |
| 14491s | he's able to extend the those combos off |
| 14495s | of following up with the fireball into |
| 14497s | even more damage and that's why we've |
| 14500s | started to see a lot of these targets |
| 14501s | not play the blackout version of the old |
| 14503s | that gives you multiple Fireballs but |
| 14505s | running Fireball over uh the F just |
| 14509s | because you're able to get some of that |
| 14510s | extra damage out and extend combos |
| 14512s | potentially if you use it in an |
| 14514s | aggressive state right if you end up |
| 14517s | using the fireball in a defensive State |
| 14519s | you actually find yourself uh pretty on |
| 14521s | the back foot as Tarka doesn't really |
| 14524s | ever want to play that way unless you're |
| 14527s | playing some weird version of trios but |
| 14528s | let's be honest you're not playing Tarka |
| 14530s | into trios if you're playing |
| 14532s | professional level naraka |
| 14534s | um so you're not going to see that sort |
| 14536s | of Fireball turkey coming through |
| 14539s | um but it's been really fun to see like |
| 14542s | these variations and adaptations from |
| 14544s | the players uh given how many changes |
| 14547s | have happened to Tarka uh since the |
| 14549s | world championship even during the World |
| 14551s | Championship you know we saw that elbow |
| 14553s | so into right click with like the staff |
| 14555s | and spear being oh so prevalent not |
| 14557s | being nerfed out uh it changing how the |
| 14559s | spear was favored as well spear used to |
| 14562s | be a weapon that was extremely favorite |
| 14564s | in trios even and because of the Nerfs |
| 14566s | to this ear to kind of account for Tarka |
| 14569s | uh we actually saw the spear start to |
| 14571s | fall out of favor in trios as well so he |
| 14574s | really is a hero that I think will |
| 14576s | always sort of have an impact on the |
| 14578s | Meta Even if he himself is not meta yeah |
| 14582s | I I I I I agree with that there is like |
| 14586s | as you were saying it is interesting to |
| 14587s | see these adaptations and this viable |
| 14590s | utilization but it's like I I have to |
| 14594s | say like whenever I see the talk of fire |
| 14596s | will come out in nbpl |
| 14598s | I can I can say so I could safely say |
| 14601s | that that person is either |
| 14604s | I don't I don't know like they're just |
| 14607s | trying to be it's it's almost like |
| 14610s | you know how I said earlier if you don't |
| 14612s | know what you're doing they don't know |
| 14614s | what you're doing it's kind of feeds |
| 14615s | into that sort of thing because no one's |
| 14617s | but a lot of people aren't gonna expect |
| 14619s | it to come out and if you manage to get |
| 14621s | that one uppercut combo and then |
| 14624s | Fireball extension it can be devastating |
| 14627s | but realistically the the trade-off |
| 14631s | from not having F1 is isn't worth it |
| 14635s | like taka already without without |
| 14637s | ultimate is extremely vulnerable |
| 14642s | because he has you literally have |
| 14645s | nothing he won't have any defensive |
| 14647s | capabilities and in situations where |
| 14651s | you're being pressured by so many people |
| 14653s | and in certain lobbies when certain |
| 14655s | characters have the ability to combo |
| 14658s | break with the air for soft combo break |
| 14660s | that sort of thing it's it becomes |
| 14662s | almost impossible to really do anything |
| 14665s | so you're making you're taking a huge |
| 14668s | huge risk for Fireball but it can |
| 14671s | potentially pay off as we have seen But |
| 14673s | Here we have the final Zone and Zhang Yu |
| 14676s | with 225 both being forced to pop old |
| 14679s | T225 having fresh at him substantially |
| 14682s | but Jiang Yu getting picked off by Wang |
| 14685s | Liang having teleported up into his face |
| 14687s | and simply eating a whole bunch of |
| 14690s | damage and getting taken down sad to say |
| 14693s | considering that we were hoping to see |
| 14696s | Zhang Yu break some records today the |
| 14698s | past couple games have not been the best |
| 14701s | uh you know four four eliminations did a |
| 14704s | fifth place finish is really not a bad |
| 14706s | game whatsoever like for for any other |
| 14709s | player they're extremely happy with it I |
| 14711s | mean this final Circle really really |
| 14713s | wonky unfortunately zhangyu just finds |
| 14716s | himself kind of at the midst of the rest |
| 14718s | of the lobby he's the one who ends up |
| 14720s | going low and then just the Cannons |
| 14721s | coming through and everything we're |
| 14723s | actually here holding on able to find an |
| 14725s | elimination |
| 14726s | finds a second |
| 14728s | two kills with the first place finish on |
| 14731s | August Huey and this is the thing Wang |
| 14733s | Lang Lang's just chilling at the bottom |
| 14734s | the whole time he's letting the rest of |
| 14737s | the lobby do the work he knows he's |
| 14739s | playing a sub-optimal hero he's just |
| 14740s | like look I'm playing for points I'm I |
| 14743s | I've got to play three different Heroes |
| 14745s | today I'm gonna play akos in one of the |
| 14747s | games and I'm just gonna play for |
| 14749s | survivability maybe I'll find something |
| 14751s | in the end and sure enough he does but |
| 14752s | it's all gonna go down to Wang Liang |
| 14754s | because Wang Ling is able to find six |
| 14756s | eliminations and that sort of third |
| 14759s | place a finish that's gonna be enough to |
| 14761s | get him the overall MVP for this game |
| 14764s | but man |
| 14774s | and managing to secure himself I think |
| 14778s | two two maybe three kills at the very |
| 14780s | end there just being able to directly |
| 14783s | damage the health bar as they were |
| 14784s | already extremely low from the zone very |
| 14787s | nicely done rather clutch Jade coming in |
| 14790s | oh my goodness yeah now look and even if |
| 14793s | you're saying you you can't be mad about |
| 14795s | this game you have four eliminations and |
| 14797s | a fifth place finish for a fourth place |
| 14800s | finish I can't I can't remember it's |
| 14802s | either fourth or fifth you're still in a |
| 14805s | really good space in terms of points |
| 14807s | right especially because aow's mic was |
| 14810s | eliminated much much earlier uh in that |
| 14813s | space so Mike was able to play a little |
| 14816s | bit of catch up last game because Zhang |
| 14818s | Yu got eliminated with a zero point game |
| 14820s | and now we kind of flipped the script on |
| 14823s | that and it's Zhang Yu who's able to |
| 14824s | create more space over aow's mic because |
| 14827s | Mike has a bad game and this is what I |
| 14830s | was talking about earlier realistically |
| 14831s | statistically speaking If your player |
| 14834s | coming into a six game day you're gonna |
| 14837s | find yourself having at least one bad |
| 14839s | game doesn't matter how good or how |
| 14841s | consistent you are as a player you're |
| 14843s | gonna find that space where you're not |
| 14844s | having a consistency game or a really |
| 14847s | big pop-off game so zhangyu has one and |
| 14850s | then we turn around and Mike finds his |
| 14852s | one for the day you know all's right in |
| 14855s | the universe balance does exist we see |
| 14858s | these players coming in having both of |
| 14860s | them have had four really good games and |
| 14863s | one poor game it all comes down to the |
| 14866s | last game whether it's gonna be aow's |
| 14868s | mic or uh OC zhangyu who comes out on |
| 14871s | top in terms of uh the placement points |
| 14873s | for going into the bi-weekly vinyl Zhang |
| 14876s | Yu has still had an incredible day I |
| 14878s | think he's at another 40-point day for |
| 14881s | himself which is just really really big |
| 14884s | considering the fact that the average |
| 14886s | top end scores we see for players for |
| 14889s | six games is 30 points being able to |
| 14892s | come in and overcome the average not |
| 14894s | once but twice in the same week it's no |
| 14897s | wonder he finds himself at the top of |
| 14898s | the leaderboard right now |
| 14900s | absolutely I am I'm definitely I'm very |
| 14903s | excited to see how the final game of the |
| 14906s | day day plays out but yeah as you said |
| 14909s | Zhang Yu coming out third overall in |
| 14912s | terms of points with 7.1 not too shabby |
| 14917s | not too shabby at all T225 coming in |
| 14920s | second place 7.8 Wang Liang taking the |
| 14923s | cake with 12.5 seven eliminations to his |
| 14928s | name very nicely done recce oh actually |
| 14931s | he must he only got one kill at the end |
| 14933s | there I thought I saw it too I must have |
| 14935s | seen this one too as well perhaps it was |
| 14938s | the Hill Feed thing where you get the |
| 14941s | kill but then it then says eliminates |
| 14943s | afterwards perhaps that was it as uh |
| 14946s | they changed the the kill feed not too |
| 14949s | long ago and sometimes it mixes me up a |
| 14951s | little bit but yes not a bad game four |
| 14954s | points from placement one from his kill |
| 14956s | or 1.6 from his kills 5.6 and not a bad |
| 14960s | showing at all especially considering |
| 14962s | that he was on that acos of this clip |
| 14965s | right here Zhang almost getting cooked |
| 14969s | but uh sadly rain sending out that blue |
| 14973s | that is not what you want to be doing |
| 14974s | you can't you can't ever let the the |
| 14977s | second click come out from the katana |
| 14979s | when you let that blue rip the the first |
| 14981s | blue is so risky the second one's almost |
| 14984s | you're just guaranteed to be fair it's a |
| 14986s | troll isn't it this is nasty Zhang |
| 14989s | you coming in here with the fairy and |
| 14990s | this is the thing you know if you're |
| 14991s | young in that |
| 14994s | specific situation right you're kind of |
| 14996s | forced to throw that blue you can't |
| 14998s | afford to Clank in that situation |
| 15001s | because your HP is so low a Clank kills |
| 15003s | you as well you have to throw the blue |
| 15006s | and hope they misread the 50 50. it's |
| 15008s | really all you can do in that situation |
| 15010s | so you can't blame Yong for letting the |
| 15013s | blue rip there and finding himself |
| 15014s | getting buried because it's it's do or |
| 15017s | die in that particular situation if you |
| 15019s | take it back to neutral you just risk |
| 15021s | getting clanked again you've got the |
| 15023s | zone to your back you're already charged |
| 15025s | for the blue you gotta let it fly and |
| 15026s | hope for the best |
| 15028s | yeah I agree but it's very true it does |
| 15030s | come down to that 50 50 where the |
| 15034s | thought process behind that situation is |
| 15038s | the I Can't Remember the Name Escapes Me |
| 15041s | Now I can't remember who exactly but the |
| 15045s | the blue Focus coming out at the very |
| 15047s | very low HP the opposing player has that |
| 15051s | safety net with the Phoenix print bar so |
| 15055s | he could have one of two like ideas in |
| 15059s | his head one being if I go for this |
| 15062s | Parry |
| 15063s | and I get punished for it and get put |
| 15066s | into a combo |
| 15067s | I'm not going to end up dying in the end |
| 15070s | because I have this buff |
| 15073s | however so he can be comfortable going |
| 15077s | for that Parry because realistically |
| 15079s | when people are low HP yes you are more |
| 15083s | likely to send out those Blues because |
| 15085s | it can do more damage but |
| 15087s | it's not always the case if you can't |
| 15090s | bait people into thinking this way a lot |
| 15092s | of the time in right solo queue for |
| 15093s | example A lot of people are simply going |
| 15096s | to assume that you will send the blue |
| 15098s | when you're very low and it's one of the |
| 15100s | easier ways to bait parries when you're |
| 15102s | extremely low HP but in this kind of |
| 15104s | level it's like |
| 15107s | he's really low so and I've still got |
| 15111s | this buff so I could just sit the whole |
| 15114s | blue and send the one charge if he sends |
| 15116s | that one charge into me he clanks he |
| 15119s | probably dies if he tries to overhaul me |
| 15121s | he dies if he parries me and I I do |
| 15126s | happen to get low I still have the |
| 15127s | safety net so it's kind of a lose-lose |
| 15130s | situation regardless I mean he had to |
| 15133s | set I think he the better option would |
| 15135s | have been to try and go for the light |
| 15138s | but it is what it is you know it's a |
| 15141s | hard chance to make when your backs to |
| 15143s | the wall unfortunately you know you've |
| 15145s | already started charging the blue you're |
| 15147s | kind of committed to it and when you |
| 15149s | you're literally one tick from Death in |
| 15151s | the zones pressuring on you you can't |
| 15152s | afford to hit confirm into the light and |
| 15155s | try to shove into that full combo there |
| 15157s | because as soon as the Zone pushes onto |
| 15159s | your back foot tickles your little toe |
| 15161s | there you're gonna die to that tick |
| 15163s | damage so just in a situation where |
| 15165s | you're very forced to throw that sort of |
| 15167s | blue but speaking of throwing things |
| 15169s | we're gonna throw things over to a short |
| 15171s | video before we come back and lock in |
| 15172s | for a sixth and final game of the day |
| 15174s | don't go anywhere |

| 15297s | ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the |
| 15299s | dragonblade Buena pro league as we take |
| 15300s | a look at the scores heading into our |
| 15303s | sixth and final game for the day we see |
| 15306s | players like in jjh's reign |
| 15308s | unfortunately falling down into the |
| 15311s | bottom 14 meaning they will not be going |
| 15313s | uh to compete in the grand of finals for |
| 15317s | this weekend or sorry the bi-weekly |
| 15320s | finals not the grand finals uh that said |
| 15321s | they do still have one more game to play |
| 15323s | they could find themselves moving back |
| 15325s | into that top true 14 space if they have |
| 15328s | a good game time will tell taking a look |
| 15332s | at the middle of the back alliances gin |
| 15334s | Sweating Bullets right now this is |
| 15336s | exactly what I talked about where you |
| 15338s | you know you've got players like Fang |
| 15340s | Wang Liang underneath of you you're |
| 15343s | gonna find yourself following some |
| 15345s | positions pretty quickly given that they |
| 15347s | still have games to play sure enough |
| 15349s | bang is just on the cusp of not making |
| 15353s | it or sorry gin is just on the cusp of |
| 15356s | not making it into the my weekly vinyl |
| 15358s | here literally sweating bullets if I'm a |
| 15361s | lion's gin right now J team's action |
| 15363s | kind of having a Repeat Performance a |
| 15366s | very middling performance which is not |
| 15369s | to be expected of J team's action |
| 15370s | typically we've seen Jay team's action |
| 15372s | coming in and tearing through the season |
| 15374s | but uh he's not been able to find that |
| 15376s | same sort of momentum that said has |
| 15379s | qualified for every single bi-weekly and |
| 15381s | that is very very important |
| 15384s | um making sure you're putting those |
| 15386s | points on the board to be able to |
| 15387s | qualify for the World Championship you |
| 15390s | can be middle of the road as long as you |
| 15391s | make it to worlds in a absolutely pop |
| 15394s | off aow's mic already with a 49.5 for |
| 15398s | today has had a very exclusive day beat |
| 15401s | zhangyu's record but zhangyu no slouch |
| 15403s | today either breaking that 30-point uh |
| 15407s | threshold into 40 points already |
| 15410s | still ahead of aow's mic by about seven |
| 15414s | points give or take here so Zhang you |
| 15416s | comfortably sitting in that potential |
| 15418s | first place position and I don't think |
| 15420s | we're gonna see them come into game six |
| 15422s | and play any slower than they've played |
| 15424s | all day long so the odds that zhangyu |
| 15427s | walks away with another zero point game |
| 15428s | very very low uh coming out from Zhang |
| 15432s | Yu so it's gonna be really interesting |
| 15434s | to see how the sixth and final game goes |
| 15436s | because for most of the day there's been |
| 15438s | Zhang Yu and aow's Mike just completely |
| 15440s | walking over these lobbies no absolutely |
| 15443s | I'm bro I I hope Zhang Yu comes out with |
| 15447s | an absolute Banger of a game in our |
| 15450s | final game of the day as I'm it would be |
| 15453s | amazing to see to see him come out and |
| 15456s | break all the records I mean thing is |
| 15458s | that Mike he's about to hit 50 points |
| 15461s | then you what what was the the record |
| 15463s | that you told me earlier I remember I |
| 15465s | thought I think the the record for a day |
| 15467s | in solos is 58 points uh wait yeah and |
| 15471s | that was during a 16 person lobbies so |
| 15475s | Mike working his way in that direction |
| 15477s | he would need to have an absolutely pop |
| 15480s | off of a game to make that happen here |
| 15482s | uh definitely not uh against the |
| 15486s | possibilities of happening you know |
| 15488s | aow's Mike has had plenty of pop-off |
| 15490s | games he's an absolute demon and you |
| 15493s | know it helps we came into today there's |
| 15495s | two demons clearly in this these two |
| 15498s | particular groups going ahead to head |
| 15500s | that being OC Zhang you and aow's Mike |
| 15502s | but they get to sort of have a little |
| 15506s | bit of an easier time today given the |
| 15508s | fact that some of the other top players |
| 15511s | that they had to have those big |
| 15512s | performances they've already had aren't |
| 15515s | in these lobbies there's no wbg spider |
| 15517s | for them to compete against that makes |
| 15519s | it way easier to put some points up on |
| 15521s | the board for these sort of top times |
| 15523s | players and that's why we've seen them |
| 15524s | absolutely dominating today as we take a |
| 15527s | look here we got a quick question for |
| 15528s | everybody in chat who won game five is |
| 15530s | it a xcg's wang Liang B Genesis t225c |
| 15534s | aow's mic or D Oh Sees Zhang you lock |
| 15537s | your answers in chat make sure you're |
| 15539s | paying attention to your Whispers here |
| 15541s | on Twitch because somebody's going to be |
| 15543s | selected who answers this correctly |
| 15545s | you're gonna get a whisper you're gonna |
| 15546s | get some goodies over in naraka and you |
| 15549s | know how we love our naraka goodies |
| 15551s | indeed all the Aesthetics all the all |
| 15556s | the oh my Lord the the skin team the art |
| 15560s | team as you said earlier quite rightly |
| 15563s | they do not miss |
| 15566s | although |
| 15567s | what is this cabbage dog skin that |
| 15571s | they've just finished |
| 15573s | I mean like it's you're either Gonna |
| 15577s | Love it or you're gonna hate it it just |
| 15579s | looks so goofy it's so funny I mean I |
| 15584s | kind of like it because it's very Troll |
| 15585s | and it's a really good meme but at the |
| 15588s | same time it's like |
| 15591s | but yeah it's it's great to see like |
| 15594s | they they've been they I love how they |
| 15597s | they like to joke around with it as well |
| 15598s | they brought it out like goofy skins in |
| 15601s | the past like the twin Tails hairstyle |
| 15603s | for example the uh The Knife and Fork |
| 15606s | dual blades you know all of these funny |
| 15609s | skins it's it's really nice to see that |
| 15612s | um it's not all seriousness you know |
| 15614s | it's not all like beautifully crafted |
| 15619s | artwork and the and the outfits they can |
| 15621s | they can have a good time they can have |
| 15623s | a joke around as well and uh it's lovely |
| 15626s | to see speaking of you're getting |
| 15629s | serious I think these players are gonna |
| 15631s | get a bit more foreign |
| 15636s | what is this graphic that we have here |
| 15638s | in the bottom right I don't think I've |
| 15639s | seen that one before did you happen to |
| 15641s | catch that I think it's disappeared now |
| 15643s | sadly so the graphic that was down there |
| 15645s | before is uh how many points they are |
| 15647s | behind uh the players who are ahead of |
| 15650s | them right if you're taking a look here |
| 15651s | you can actually see so Shen Yuan uh and |
| 15654s | you know these are the players that are |
| 15656s | behind them how many points they are |
| 15658s | behind so like Shen yuan is minus 23.6 |
| 15662s | points behind Reign realistically the |
| 15665s | only uh two players in the bottom half |
| 15669s | or or the very bottom that have any |
| 15671s | chance of overtaking alliance's gin and |
| 15675s | taking a place in the bi-weekly final uh |
| 15677s | being young K and jjh's Reigns those two |
| 15681s | players could have an explosive game and |
| 15683s | find themselves qualifying to head into |
| 15685s | the bi-weekly final uh time will tell as |
| 15688s | we getting ready to lock in for game |
| 15690s | number six right now we're gonna see |
| 15692s | what these Heroes look like and we're |
| 15694s | gonna see how these players adapt to the |
| 15697s | changes going forward here it's gonna be |
| 15700s | interesting to see what those hero picks |
| 15702s | are given we've seen a lot of things |
| 15704s | come through Shen you on here oh my |
| 15706s | goodness look at this I get it send you |
| 15708s | on there's no real hope of you going to |
| 15710s | the bi-weekly final it's game number six |
| 15713s | but but really we're going to trolls |
| 15722s | real chance for Shen Yuan to qualify for |
| 15724s | the bi-weekly final have some fun in |
| 15727s | game six I you know I we can call out |
| 15731s | the TN High pick but we saw Fang last |
| 15734s | week pick Tian High |
| 15737s | and win a Lobby |
| 15739s | like |
| 15741s | okay yeah |
| 15745s | it hurts I know I noticed Satan solos it |
| 15749s | hurts as an XT and high main I |
| 15751s | completely understand what okay here's |
| 15756s | my reasoning you know like this is why I |
| 15758s | don't really like to see this |
| 15760s | it's not necessarily about |
| 15763s | like it's potential it is simply the |
| 15767s | fact that this this character is not |
| 15770s | picked for a reason and it is only |
| 15774s | picked when people are quite literally |
| 15778s | just trolling either because they've |
| 15780s | already secured a spot four finals all |
| 15784s | because they have no chance of doing |
| 15786s | that and if you've already secured a |
| 15788s | spot for finals then I'm it's okay fine |
| 15791s | that's you're chilling fine that's all |
| 15793s | right but if it's because you haven't |
| 15795s | secured and you have no chance of doing |
| 15797s | so and I feel like it's kind of troll |
| 15800s | you know like at the end of the day it |
| 15803s | feels like you're giving up more than |
| 15806s | you're just trying to have fun with it |
| 15808s | because in reality you're far less |
| 15810s | likely to have fun on a character that's |
| 15812s | not good in solos and a character that |
| 15815s | is when playing solos realistically you |
| 15818s | know like it's kind of grief and then on |
| 15821s | top of that because it's grief because |
| 15823s | as it's vulnerable because it's not good |
| 15826s | you are probably going to end up feeding |
| 15830s | kills to other players who |
| 15833s | if you hadn't picked that character |
| 15835s | probably wouldn't have gotten those |
| 15837s | kills and you know that's that's kind of |
| 15838s | the main reason why I don't think it's |
| 15841s | something that should really be done you |
| 15843s | know |
| 15845s | later this way if if you're here you |
| 15847s | might as well enjoy the games that |
| 15848s | you're playing though and we have seen |
| 15850s | it function well before it's it's |
| 15853s | definitely not optimal right but we have |
| 15855s | seen players pick sub-optimal characters |
| 15858s | and still come in and perform at the end |
| 15861s | of the day so I mean sometimes you you |
| 15865s | want to experiment you want to try |
| 15867s | things I think realistically the day we |
| 15868s | do know it's kind of a troll pick I |
| 15871s | don't think tni's ever going to find his |
| 15873s | way into the meta no matter how much you |
| 15875s | experiment with him even though Perry |
| 15877s | Bell uh there are some there are some |
| 15880s | Believers in the Perry Bell uh currently |
| 15882s | because of the way you're able to use |
| 15885s | the Clank off the berry Bell to extend |
| 15887s | into some Combos and things you're |
| 15889s | basically just using the ultimate as a |
| 15890s | reset on TN High |
| 15892s | um but these players do get to play |
| 15894s | whatever they want here uh oh my God |
| 15896s | don't get here do you see that combo |
| 15898s | yeah the tech Chase there on the katana |
| 15903s | extremely well too knowing |
| 15905s | where your target is knowing that |
| 15908s | they're positioned against the side of |
| 15909s | the wall they can only tap Dodge |
| 15911s | realistically in two different |
| 15912s | directions as long as you get the read |
| 15914s | you see exactly what happens there T225 |
| 15917s | gets red on all three of his top Dodges |
| 15920s | there and is able to just be completely |
| 15922s | blitzed through despite the fact that |
| 15924s | he's in his ultimate you are on here |
| 15926s | suffering quite a lot from Wang Liang |
| 15928s | here with that fireball Tarka again |
| 15930s | we're seeing a lot of that fireball |
| 15932s | Target come through and you know we talk |
| 15933s | about troll picks and stuff this is a |
| 15935s | pick that is definitely experimentation |
| 15937s | and not trolling though right those sort |
| 15939s | of fireballs being able to buy you that |
| 15942s | space where you can do things duang |
| 15943s | Liang unfortunately does miss this |
| 15945s | Fireball here uh into J team's action |
| 15948s | typically if you are going to be using |
| 15950s | that fireball you want to use it how I |
| 15951s | used it earlier where you're able to |
| 15953s | catch them into that uppercut combo and |
| 15955s | follow up with the fireball he throws it |
| 15957s | a little premature early here just |
| 15958s | trying to create a little bit of panic |
| 15960s | in space not getting any mileage out of |
| 15962s | it that said turns around with these |
| 15963s | dual blades |
| 15965s | W's mic and just puts the blitz down |
| 15967s | comes in here we're gonna see the |
| 15968s | teleport back the fireball comes through |
| 15970s | not gonna be able to find it Mike though |
| 15972s | in a very strong position here because |
| 15974s | he can use those teleports aggressively |
| 15976s | to lock onto Wang Liang Wang Ling trying |
| 15978s | to create distance to avoid that exact |
| 15980s | scenario is able to keep it going but |
| 15983s | now has j-team's action pressuring on to |
| 15986s | him and Wang Lan gonna very quickly find |
| 15988s | himself in a bad position finds the |
| 15991s | armor swap though into action can he |
| 15993s | find the uppercut doesn't quite find the |
| 15996s | uppercut he's looking for Wang Liang |
| 15997s | able to find the return uppercut though |
| 16000s | with the dual blades and put down Wang |
| 16003s | liang's action turning that fight on its |
| 16006s | head |
| 16006s | oh my Lord there right there showcase |
| 16010s | perfectly viable not really offering all |
| 16013s | that much for it Mike simply just tap |
| 16016s | Dutch did like literally it just it can |
| 16019s | just literally do nothing for you on |
| 16022s | occasion and that at the end of the day |
| 16024s | is what makes characters and abilities |
| 16027s | good in naraka how well they can deal |
| 16029s | with situations and the number of |
| 16032s | situations that can be dealt with with |
| 16034s | those abilities and characters but here |
| 16036s | we have zipping who has the ability to |
| 16040s | deal with seemingly countless situations |
| 16043s | X in now getting grapple lmbed on gets |
| 16047s | hit by the first part of the blue Focus |
| 16049s | which is then canceled by ego as he did |
| 16052s | not expect to actually land it almost |
| 16054s | gets caught in a combo but uh action |
| 16057s | doesn't manage to continue it extin |
| 16060s | sends the blue into the lmb and again |
| 16063s | ego cancels the blue Focus this time not |
| 16066s | losing out on any value X in trying to |
| 16068s | make something happen trying to force on |
| 16071s | to Ego to try and swap the target from |
| 16074s | himself to Ego |
| 16076s | which is rather odd considering it looks |
| 16078s | like he's already managed to do it even |
| 16080s | though realistically I'd say accent |
| 16082s | should still be the target for Mike Mike |
| 16086s | perhaps a bit confused gets chunked down |
| 16089s | there eats about I don't know 400 damage |
| 16092s | almost losing almost all of his white |
| 16094s | armor gets overheld but has that F3 |
| 16098s | available to get out of Dodge does |
| 16101s | manage to get that uppercut combo |
| 16103s | doesn't manage to extend it though I |
| 16105s | think that may have been due to the to |
| 16106s | the terrain going ever so slightly |
| 16109s | upwards preventing him from getting that |
| 16111s | blue Focus confirmed after the grapple |
| 16113s | cancel Mike go for it again |
| 16116s | he he makes a mistake he missed inputs |
| 16120s | but it doesn't matter ego chunks him |
| 16122s | with the pistol as well Mike's now on |
| 16124s | the Run trying to use his F3 what did he |
| 16127s | just do I'm not too sure what he just |
| 16129s | did I think he tried to swap something |
| 16131s | or pick something up almost perhaps by |
| 16133s | accident but uh he does have that res |
| 16136s | available so he is going to be able to |
| 16138s | go away and get that reset ego and |
| 16140s | Action Now fighting in the zone zipping |
| 16144s | the one character that can pretty much |
| 16146s | do this safely ego |
| 16148s | sends out the rmd bomb but gets avoided |
| 16150s | by Xin sends out the lmb grapple cancels |
| 16153s | it |
| 16153s | X in oh he eats another one |
| 16158s | uh ego so right here this was an |
| 16160s | extremely nicely done by accent to still |
| 16163s | Parry this even though he'd seen ego |
| 16166s | cancel it countless times he still went |
| 16169s | for the Parry as potentially he assumed |
| 16172s | the ego would actually send it this time |
| 16174s | because he was attempting to mind game |
| 16176s | him into believing that he wouldn't send |
| 16178s | it in the end |
| 16180s | yeah AWS Michael looking to come back in |
| 16182s | here for the third party in action |
| 16184s | probably gonna fall victim to this |
| 16186s | giving he was forced to swap into the |
| 16188s | white armor here is on to that zipping |
| 16191s | and you know you talk about zeping being |
| 16193s | realistically one of the only characters |
| 16194s | who can safely take these fights in the |
| 16197s | zone and I just want to say zeping |
| 16199s | turning CN players into EU players since |
| 16202s | 2022. |
| 16206s | I don't know if you've ever watched the |
| 16208s | EU broadcasts uh from back in the day EU |
| 16211s | players love to fight in the zone I mean |
| 16214s | we do at times that is true I'll give |
| 16217s | you that I'll give you that it does |
| 16219s | happen more like quite a bit I will have |
| 16222s | to say |
| 16223s | um often a result of poor Target |
| 16225s | selections |
| 16228s | we've watched like six man fights break |
| 16230s | out in the zone in EU and it's like zone |
| 16232s | three and like there's no reason they'll |
| 16235s | literally like be inches from the zone |
| 16237s | and they just sit there and take the |
| 16238s | fight in the zone nobody wanting to give |
| 16241s | up neutral for even half a second to |
| 16242s | step into the Zone EU players really |
| 16245s | being some |
| 16246s | ugly boogers |
| 16248s | indeed I was about to say EU likes to |
| 16252s | get ugly however sometimes it's not |
| 16256s | always optimal ugly boogly because |
| 16263s | just oh that's just not a very good not |
| 16266s | very uh |
| 16268s | pretty smooth brain I think let's just |
| 16270s | call it that you know oh my God we've |
| 16272s | got the mech bite here in the realm of |
| 16274s | Yang Vince's recce jdg2jang going at it |
| 16277s | we're gonna see Chu Zhang off to the |
| 16279s | cannon first to buy themselves a little |
| 16281s | bit of pressure but now that Ricky has |
| 16283s | done it jujang can't really reposition |
| 16285s | here it's gonna be Sans armor but does |
| 16287s | have a little bit of an HP buff but now |
| 16289s | we're gonna see the turret come back out |
| 16291s | jujang able to find an armor pot though |
| 16294s | we'll find themselves in a huge |
| 16296s | Advantage Ricky tries to pressure with |
| 16299s | that huge cannon for a little too long |
| 16303s | causes themselves to fall behind and XU |
| 16306s | Zhang able to come out on top in the |
| 16309s | realm of yay yes indeed Ricky just |
| 16313s | miscalculating how much of his ultimate |
| 16316s | he had left over he had a sliver of it |
| 16319s | left over and opted to try and go for |
| 16321s | the cannon shot but then realized oh oh |
| 16325s | no I don't have time for this and his |
| 16327s | heel was cut short by his ultimate uh |
| 16331s | timing out like it's just not what you |
| 16333s | want very unlucky it does happen as I've |
| 16336s | said we're all human mistakes were made |
| 16339s | it is what it is but here we have a |
| 16341s | young K now trying to disengage using |
| 16345s | the staff Mobility |
| 16348s | trying to space out as much as possible |
| 16350s | xxy |
| 16352s | coming in hot both players go for the |
| 16355s | jump Harry Theon K managing to equalize |
| 16358s | the health so to speak but still being |
| 16362s | hunted |
| 16364s | it looks like it was mainly because of |
| 16366s | the fact that they know yonke has no |
| 16368s | ultimate |
| 16369s | Perhaps Perhaps not I'm not really sure |
| 16372s | it's possible that they're choosing to |
| 16374s | go for yonkey because of the fact that |
| 16376s | he that she has no ultimate but perhaps |
| 16379s | not perhaps simply because of the fact |
| 16382s | that they're playing Fair uh they're |
| 16383s | playing Matari and the other player is |
| 16385s | playing farrier meaning that since |
| 16387s | you're playing farrier you have that |
| 16389s | second life you have the opportunity to |
| 16392s | go into that Mech which can essentially |
| 16394s | just mitigate all the risk |
| 16397s | um all of a sudden engagement |
| 16399s | but here we have choosing taking down |
| 16402s | Mike has that gold Katana I'm not sure |
| 16404s | if he I don't know he got it from Yang I |
| 16406s | thought he'd parried it for a second but |
| 16408s | he did he did get it from Yang himself |
| 16411s | now up against ego ego getting caught by |
| 16415s | Zhang Yu dagger lmb blue |
| 16419s | but it doesn't look like much is going |
| 16420s | to come of it as ego is indeed playing |
| 16423s | the farrier able to stay on the move and |
| 16427s | continuously reset and has essentially |
| 16429s | just been allowed to leave the fight and |
| 16431s | here we have everything everything |
| 16433s | happening all at once recce XY Mike |
| 16438s | choosing Reign and jiangyu all in the |
| 16441s | same spot it feels like the entire Lobby |
| 16443s | is here Ricky trying to put some damage |
| 16446s | out with those uh with those storms with |
| 16449s | that turret it looks like he's going to |
| 16451s | have to try and turn around and get |
| 16452s | those heels off before his ultimate gets |
| 16454s | chipped down |
| 16457s | okay we're gonna take a look here |
| 16458s | Vincent zareki really on the back but |
| 16460s | like you said trying to create some |
| 16462s | space here trying to find some resets |
| 16465s | with those pots uh interestingly enough |
| 16467s | they do turn back into the fight after |
| 16470s | finding the reset trying to get some |
| 16472s | mileage out of the ultimate that they |
| 16473s | were forced to cast here but you're |
| 16475s | gonna find themselves yet again in a |
| 16477s | pretty poor position uh given the fact |
| 16480s | that their ultimate ends so soon and |
| 16482s | they're actually just in the middle of |
| 16484s | this absolute Blitzkrieg All Eyes still |
| 16488s | on reki recky making a massive |
| 16491s | miscalculation they were out they were |
| 16494s | full reset and for some reason knowing |
| 16497s | that their ultimate's gonna go down they |
| 16499s | turn back into the middle of the pack |
| 16501s | just because they wanted to get mileage |
| 16503s | out of your ultimate I I see players |
| 16506s | fall victim to this all the time here in |
| 16509s | the nvpl where they're forced to burn |
| 16511s | their ultimate to get out and they're so |
| 16514s | worried about playing 100 percent |
| 16517s | optimal that they turn back around into |
| 16520s | these fights once they're able to find a |
| 16522s | reset and it looked to gain mileage off |
| 16526s | of that ultimate look to play oh my God |
| 16529s | oh my goodness Zhang you just |
| 16532s | obliterated |
| 16534s | ego from downtown with the pistol as |
| 16537s | Mike locks them down oh my goodness |
| 16540s | Zhang use out of the lobby |
| 16542s | no |
| 16545s | the record |
| 16547s | I mean still has the Banger of a day |
| 16550s | right yeah but the nation here they have |
| 16553s | a 40-point day like and it's just sad to |
| 16557s | see them go out that way and I mean |
| 16559s | where was ego look at how far away ego |
| 16563s | is on the map |
| 16565s | Eagle literally those shots with the |
| 16567s | pistol from downtown |
| 16573s | like it's because it was pistol that he |
| 16575s | died as well because pistol is a |
| 16578s | multi-hit projectile it meant that he |
| 16581s | was able to pop the Moto Defiance buff |
| 16584s | essentially and still do more damage |
| 16587s | because once if if the if one of the |
| 16590s | pellets pops the |
| 16593s | the Mortal Defiance then the other |
| 16596s | pellets will still do full damage |
| 16599s | so essentially it mitigates a lot of the |
| 16602s | healing from that passive from the |
| 16604s | zipping ultimate but here we have Mike |
| 16607s | versus fong in the realm of Yang here |
| 16610s | Fong has a somewhat of a disadvantage |
| 16612s | due to the armor being blue but does |
| 16615s | have that F1 estate hopped up does it |
| 16618s | look to take the the 50 50 the obstacle |
| 16621s | you old instead armoring through the |
| 16625s | scale Rush Mike forced to use his old in |
| 16627s | return still has that Health Advantage |
| 16630s | but fun is doing an extremely good job |
| 16632s | of doing just enough damage to stay stay |
| 16637s | in this fight stay more pressure so to |
| 16640s | speak he does still have one of those |
| 16642s | dashes I think as he still hasn't |
| 16644s | canceled his life and he gets the trees |
| 16646s | on to Mike Mike having that F3 available |
| 16648s | though is able to immediately Port back |
| 16650s | but instantly gets text chased by fun |
| 16653s | although he does get caught by the long |
| 16655s | sword r b it doesn't matter because he |
| 16658s | can solve combo break he does it again |
| 16660s | and Mike's on the gravel he doesn't get |
| 16663s | both hits boom heels for the Parry |
| 16669s | oh my God |
| 16673s | Mike almost misplays this too right if |
| 16676s | you're the Matari in this situation you |
| 16679s | actually have a huge Advantage into |
| 16681s | Justina because if Justina pops their |
| 16683s | ultimate and you pop yours every time |
| 16686s | the Justina dashes at you you can |
| 16688s | actually teleport at them and the |
| 16690s | backstab will completely keep you from |
| 16692s | not only being frozen but mitigate the |
| 16694s | damage while allowing you to extend into |
| 16697s | a combo Mike uses those teleports |
| 16699s | defensively instead of offensively to |
| 16702s | teleport away and almost runs out the |
| 16706s | timer inside the realm of Yang because |
| 16708s | of it is it able in the last couple of |
| 16710s | seconds to come back with some huge |
| 16713s | plays with the long sword there but Mike |
| 16716s | very much risked losing his position |
| 16719s | there xxy here uh in the replay getting |
| 16722s | taken down by gs's T225 and T225 is |
| 16726s | gonna be much happier with their |
| 16728s | performance in these last three games |
| 16729s | than they were with their first three |
| 16731s | turning now on to Gallery Fong Fong |
| 16733s | taking a ton of damage here not in a |
| 16736s | great position either we're going to see |
| 16738s | some of that fire come through from the |
| 16740s | elbow on T25 to continue to burn Fong |
| 16743s | through that F keep the damage coming |
| 16746s | bong forced to really take a fight here |
| 16748s | once they find a reset if they can find |
| 16751s | a reset because they do have that Yang |
| 16753s | depletion and they're gonna need to find |
| 16755s | themselves picking up a soul boom very |
| 16757s | soon turning some damage on to T225 |
| 16760s | there with the dagger trying to play it |
| 16761s | safe though because of the threat of |
| 16763s | Tarka here Tarka of course having ended |
| 16765s | his ultimate looking to get that rage |
| 16767s | back and get that ultimate back up very |
| 16769s | soon onto Fong pong not able to find the |
| 16772s | Reese said that they were looking for a |
| 16774s | c225 keeps the pressure on they just |
| 16777s | have to keep running through celestra |
| 16779s | here and every second they spend running |
| 16780s | is the second that Yang depletion is |
| 16782s | ticking down we're gonna see the Fire |
| 16784s | come on the pistol shots coming out yet |
| 16786s | again see them getting picked up here |
| 16788s | literally forced to burn the ultimate |
| 16790s | just to get away they've got two minutes |
| 16792s | and 20 seconds to find an elimination |
| 16794s | that they haven't even been able to find |
| 16796s | or reset and the aow's Mike will find an |
| 16799s | elimination onto TK's xxy in the |
| 16803s | meanwhile jjh does rain forced to press |
| 16806s | through the edge of the Zone here as |
| 16808s | well we'll find a corner to get a little |
| 16811s | bit of a reset in and luckily a lot of |
| 16813s | fights breaking out in celestra means |
| 16815s | there will have cover from the sound of |
| 16817s | them healing they will find the full |
| 16819s | reset that they were hoping to find when |
| 16821s | they managed to get into that corner |
| 16824s | no absolutely that assault smolder doing |
| 16828s | so much work and yet Fung still managing |
| 16832s | to make it out alive but yes as you said |
| 16834s | he's going to have to find that Soul |
| 16836s | Bloom if he wants to stay alive having |
| 16838s | that Yang depletion ticking away he's |
| 16841s | not in a vest he's not in the best of |
| 16843s | sports right here he does engage onto |
| 16845s | T225 at the edge of celestra forcing out |
| 16849s | his ultimate but immediately disengages |
| 16851s | as quite frankly if that's all you |
| 16853s | really need to do against darker most of |
| 16855s | the time if he pops his old and you have |
| 16857s | a means of Escape you just burn his old |
| 16860s | timer down and he eventually just |
| 16862s | becomes rather useless q225 being |
| 16865s | pressured by the entire Lobby it seems |
| 16867s | Mike trying to chase him down having |
| 16869s | popped his ultimate |
| 16871s | Ops to use it the off the uses effort to |
| 16875s | go back like essentially just stop |
| 16878s | chasing completely wrong now managing to |
| 16881s | soft combo break out of the long sword |
| 16883s | toothpick Mike in a really bad spot has |
| 16886s | no buff available has already been |
| 16889s | expired or used has no old and very |
| 16892s | little help to speak of bong on the |
| 16895s | chase trying to make something happen |
| 16896s | but it looks like he got caught up on |
| 16898s | the other side of the crevice wasn't |
| 16901s | able to immediately chase him down he's |
| 16903s | running out of time he's got 30 seconds |
| 16905s | to make something happen he's trying to |
| 16908s | aggress onto anybody who's close enough |
| 16911s | trying to send the blues I'm not sure if |
| 16914s | he's gonna have enough time here |
| 16916s | can he do something oh no he cannot it's |
| 16920s | already over oh this is something I want |
| 16923s | to talk about thong briefing himself |
| 16925s | here yes he has a purple dagger but |
| 16927s | let's be honest if you're in a situation |
| 16929s | where you need to pick up an elimination |
| 16930s | quick dagger's the last weapon you |
| 16933s | should be using honestly why not make |
| 16936s | the adjustment play staff hit confirm |
| 16939s | you know into a pull sword even if it's |
| 16941s | a blue pole sword that you're confirming |
| 16943s | into you're pumping out so much damage |
| 16946s | over even a purple dagger you see |
| 16948s | actually aow's Mike here picking up |
| 16950s | their fourth elimination on the J team |
| 16951s | section while I'm talking about this but |
| 16953s | Fong |
| 16954s | really refuses to play off of dagger |
| 16958s | during the first week of mbpl |
| 16960s | I gave Fung so much because he would opt |
| 16964s | to let legendary weapons go just to |
| 16968s | fight people with white daggers and Fong |
| 16970s | still I hate to use the term crutching |
| 16973s | but he's quite literally crutching the |
| 16976s | dagger we never see Fong not on the |
| 16979s | dagger it's like he's not confident to |
| 16982s | fight with anything else and that's a |
| 16984s | problem as The Meta shifts away from the |
| 16987s | dagger which it drastically has in the |
| 16989s | nbpl Fong has not shifted with it and it |
| 16994s | has caused him multiple grievances time |
| 16997s | and time again and when you have that |
| 16999s | Yang depletion you need to look for |
| 17002s | quick turnarounds especially when |
| 17004s | there's so few players left in the lobby |
| 17006s | you need to guarantee you can pick up |
| 17009s | that elimination and you're really just |
| 17011s | briefing Yourself by continuing to play |
| 17013s | only the dagger in that situation I mean |
| 17017s | I do agree but at the same time as like |
| 17020s | as a player as my myself I'm a big Great |
| 17024s | Soul player I've played Greatsword since |
| 17027s | day one |
| 17028s | and it's not necessarily that I don't |
| 17032s | feel confident using other weapons as |
| 17034s | I've actually put in a considerable |
| 17036s | amount of time trying to learn other |
| 17038s | weapons since well for a while now uh |
| 17042s | because of what you said basically just |
| 17043s | essentially limiting myself to one |
| 17046s | weapon is never going to be a good thing |
| 17048s | but at the end of the day I still find |
| 17050s | myself being able to do more with the |
| 17054s | dagger than I can with other weapons |
| 17056s | simply because of the experience and the |
| 17059s | expertise you know that you gain from |
| 17061s | playing a weapon so much and getting so |
| 17065s | much experience on that weapon to a |
| 17068s | point that you essentially become it's |
| 17070s | Le it's much less of |
| 17073s | being a one-trick or crutching and more |
| 17075s | about being a specialist like it gets to |
| 17079s | a certain point where it's less about |
| 17081s | being a one trick or or Crunch and more |
| 17085s | because you are just simply going to do |
| 17087s | more with that weapon you know it's it |
| 17090s | does I do agree though that you do kind |
| 17093s | of have to |
| 17094s | like you can't just always play the same |
| 17096s | thing because yeah sometimes you're not |
| 17099s | gonna get that weapon or sometimes |
| 17101s | you're not going to be able to |
| 17103s | use that weapon in the way that it needs |
| 17106s | to be used to be effective you know yeah |
| 17108s | and there's a there's a difference |
| 17110s | between being like a ranked player or |
| 17112s | even an immortal War ranked player and a |
| 17115s | pro player in the nbpl as well though |
| 17117s | right like if you're right declared and |
| 17120s | and you're a one trick you're one |
| 17122s | tricking a single hero or you're one |
| 17124s | tricking a single weapon I wouldn't even |
| 17126s | call it crutching right you're you're on |
| 17128s | your comfort pick like you said this is |
| 17130s | where I'm able to do you know the most |
| 17132s | this is where I'm comfortable this is |
| 17134s | where I'm confident but when you're in a |
| 17137s | space like the nbpl here where we talk |
| 17140s | about players like Wang Liang and stuff |
| 17141s | who are looking to min max everything |
| 17145s | they can get out of a Lobby if you're a |
| 17147s | player like Fang and you're not looking |
| 17150s | to min max because you are one drinking |
| 17152s | a weapon like the dagger you're not |
| 17155s | doing yourself any favors and |
| 17157s | realistically to be a pro player at this |
| 17159s | level you have to be able to Pilot every |
| 17163s | single hero and every single weapon just |
| 17166s | as effectively as everybody else right |
| 17168s | at the end of the day your decision |
| 17170s | making is what wins and loses you games |
| 17173s | right when you're at this level of skill |
| 17176s | there's very very minimal difference in |
| 17180s | the the macro or or skill level of these |
| 17183s | players at the end of the day right you |
| 17185s | know you might be able to pick up that |
| 17188s | infinite with the long sword combo a |
| 17190s | little more consistently than other |
| 17192s | players but we're talking minute amount |
| 17196s | of percentages I as I'm talking by the |
| 17199s | way unfortunately we have the most |
| 17201s | tragic death as uh the teleport back |
| 17204s | into the zone and the Zone tick kills |
| 17206s | you they thought they had enough time to |
| 17208s | get in the zone you're okay |
| 17208s | unfortunately doesn't find that space |
| 17211s | But man what a killer game from all the |
| 17213s | players involved here like having a very |
| 17215s | good game unfortunately getting |
| 17216s | eliminated and gee wait a minute |
| 17219s | [Music] |
| 17221s | get eliminated there too The Zone they |
| 17223s | come out on top with an MVP |
| 17226s | back at the top 14. |
| 17229s | I can't wait to see the leaderboard |
| 17232s | I know Mike did have quite a lot of |
| 17235s | kills and I'm very curious to see if he |
| 17238s | manages to take it all or I mean it |
| 17241s | depends really like it depends how many |
| 17243s | players yonkey had because if young gay |
| 17245s | had |
| 17246s | 12 plus then Mike still had a chance |
| 17249s | realistically to actually break the |
| 17251s | record because I think he only needed |
| 17252s | about 10 maybe 11 points to break the |
| 17256s | record but hey wait what is this |
| 17260s | wait is that it I think that's what |
| 17262s | we're looking at right now |
| 17264s | so OC Zhang you uh across two days puts |
| 17267s | together a 1992 so he broke a record |
| 17270s | yeah he does he did most points for two |
| 17274s | days I do believe a huge huge record for |
| 17278s | OC Jiang Yu a great turnout by both |
| 17281s | Zhang Yu and aow's Mike I mean these two |
| 17285s | players absolutely dominant all day |
| 17287s | today and you know we come into the last |
| 17290s | game here and unfortunately OC Zhang Yu |
| 17294s | not quite falling uh where he wants to |
| 17296s | in this particular game he kind of goes |
| 17298s | out in the middle of the pack he picks |
| 17300s | up a couple of eliminations at least not |
| 17301s | quite trolling himself like he did in uh |
| 17304s | some of the previous games but you know |
| 17306s | aow's Mike also having another |
| 17308s | consistently good performance here in |
| 17310s | this game and that's kind of what it |
| 17311s | comes down to is these two players they |
| 17313s | had one bad game each and at the end of |
| 17316s | the day it's that level of consistency |
| 17318s | where these players were you know either |
| 17320s | top one or top two almost every single |
| 17322s | game and even their quote unquote bad |
| 17325s | games they were still kind of in the |
| 17327s | middle of the pack so you can't really |
| 17329s | complain at the amount of points that |
| 17331s | you're able to put on the board here OC |
| 17333s | zhangyu will be going in first place |
| 17335s | first seed for the bi-weekly final and I |
| 17338s | want to see Zhang you take this by |
| 17340s | weekly final I know that regardless of |
| 17342s | the fact whether he takes the bi-weekly |
| 17344s | final or not he's going to be forced to |
| 17345s | go play in the rep jage but I hope he |
| 17348s | has learned that confidence is key we've |
| 17352s | seen OC zhangyu playing on a much more |
| 17355s | back foot than we're used to seeing |
| 17356s | again in in season one he was |
| 17359s | confidently taking bites that were big |
| 17361s | huge disadvantages for him you know |
| 17364s | again I I will hearken back always to |
| 17367s | that clip of him coming out on top where |
| 17369s | he finishes that fight he's literally |
| 17371s | two ticks away from death and is somehow |
| 17373s | able to zero 100 his opponent Against |
| 17376s | All Odds you're in a situation where it |
| 17378s | is do or die like you obviously wouldn't |
| 17381s | take that fight in an optimal situation |
| 17382s | but when your final Circle and you're |
| 17385s | down to two players you're forced to |
| 17386s | take that fight zhangyu has the |
| 17388s | confidence to do that and come out on |
| 17390s | top it's nice to see a return to that |
| 17392s | level of confidence and it proving to be |
| 17396s | the selling point for Oshi jangyu as a |
| 17398s | player if he comes in and confidently |
| 17400s | takes fights he dominates those fights |
| 17403s | he does he really does he's definitely |
| 17406s | come out today and showed everybody that |
| 17409s | he is back he's back to play he's back |
| 17412s | to win and he's back to break those |
| 17415s | records as he broke Mike's previously |
| 17418s | set record of |
| 17421s | 89.2 or something I think it was on it |
| 17424s | on two days in a bi-weekly I find out I |
| 17428s | think I think it was a whole point on |
| 17430s | Top was it I think I think that's Mike's |
| 17432s | overall score for this week is an 89.2 |
| 17435s | but OC Zhang Yu hits that 90. uh and it |
| 17439s | just was it a little bit further than |
| 17440s | Mike yeah Mike very close to walking |
| 17442s | away in that first place position he |
| 17444s | comes down very very tight between these |
| 17448s | two players and I think Mike actually |
| 17450s | coming close to breaking a record if not |
| 17452s | breaking a record as well but it's Zhang |
| 17454s | Yu who just barely creeps ahead in terms |
| 17457s | of overall points uh for a bi-weekly |
| 17460s | here into 2023 I don't know if that's a |
| 17463s | record break for a total bi-weekly uh |
| 17466s | compared to last year but again we will |
| 17468s | count it as a record for this year |
| 17470s | because there's two less players in the |
| 17472s | lobby realistically that's four less |
| 17474s | kills four kills less than a Lobby is a |
| 17478s | huge amount of points if you're able to |
| 17480s | take those four kills to a first place |
| 17483s | finish you're talking about the |
| 17485s | difference between |
| 17487s | I think it comes down to Like A 5.6 |
| 17490s | extra points once you get the multiplier |
| 17492s | involved on top of it it's a huge amount |
| 17495s | of extra points missing from the lobby |
| 17497s | so being able to break the record for |
| 17499s | the season still a huge huge deal for |
| 17503s | both of these players but zhangyu just |
| 17505s | able to creep a little bit more than |
| 17508s | aow's Mike is Mike gonna be walking away |
| 17510s | with a 7.1 this game |
| 17513s | Zhang you uh towards uh where is zhangyu |
| 17518s | on am I there he is there he stands for |
| 17521s | the 1.2 not a great performance in this |
| 17523s | game but because of his overall |
| 17524s | performance from the week just creaming |
| 17527s | out on top you don't got here though |
| 17528s | with 11 game score |
| 17530s | I don't know but that might be enough to |
| 17534s | put him in 14th Place so that he |
| 17536s | qualifies for the bi-weekly final we |
| 17539s | will see when we take a look at the |
| 17541s | final scoreboard for the week here for |
| 17543s | Solace man what a crazy day of games |
| 17547s | I mean so many things to break down and |
| 17550s | analyze today as well we saw a lot of |
| 17553s | these weapon swap combos come out we saw |
| 17555s | a lot of decision making coming through |
| 17558s | and we really got to break down some |
| 17561s | great |
| 17562s | decision making and macro coming out |
| 17565s | from these players throughout the day |
| 17567s | here this is what I talked about with |
| 17568s | the teachers T225 ends up against the |
| 17571s | wall where he doesn't have too many |
| 17573s | decisions when it comes to top dodging |
| 17575s | and yunkai able to get the read every |
| 17578s | single time keep that massive combo |
| 17580s | going just huge it seems actually here |
| 17582s | with the dual blades putting in work |
| 17584s | Wang Liang just getting uppercut here |
| 17586s | and followed up one to with the dual |
| 17588s | blades and then aow's Mike here against |
| 17590s | Kayla's phone the extension off of this |
| 17593s | infinite coming through he misses the |
| 17595s | second blade there and just keeps the |
| 17597s | pressure up onto Fong and again |
| 17599s | literally two seconds away from timing |
| 17602s | out almost comes back to bite him in the |
| 17605s | arse there like I said because he |
| 17607s | teleports defensively instead of |
| 17610s | offensively and you know this is |
| 17611s | something I get onto mataris all the |
| 17613s | time is you need to be using the |
| 17615s | teleports into backstab offensively |
| 17618s | because they don't buy you enough safety |
| 17621s | realistically for you to be used using |
| 17623s | them defensively |
| 17625s | yeah absolutely right it is I mean it is |
| 17628s | slap three is definitely somewhat of a |
| 17631s | defensive ability inherently because |
| 17634s | if you use it when you old and you try |
| 17637s | and get the backstab off it I mean you |
| 17639s | need to make it count because you'd only |
| 17642s | get one unless you manage to use it like |
| 17646s | extremely quickly you're not gonna get |
| 17648s | more than one but it may be two |
| 17652s | um during your ultimate as there's just |
| 17654s | quite simply not enough time so yes I I |
| 17658s | completely agree but because he picks F3 |
| 17661s | he's |
| 17662s | somewhat forced to try and make them |
| 17664s | count as much as possible and if thong |
| 17666s | doesn't allow him to use it to its |
| 17669s | maximum potential as you said to |
| 17672s | um mitigate the freeze and mitigate the |
| 17674s | dash then he's forced to kind of use it |
| 17677s | in that way it's yeah but you are right |
| 17680s | you have to try and use them |
| 17681s | aggressively you have to try and use |
| 17682s | them as as optimally as you can so to |
| 17686s | speak but yes I I want to see the |
| 17688s | overall leaderboard I can't wait to see |
| 17690s | it I I'm really I'm really uh praying |
| 17695s | that uh Yankee actually manages to make |
| 17698s | it into the top 14 because he definitely |
| 17700s | pulled it out the bag in their final |
| 17702s | game and it would be lovely to see you |
| 17705s | know it's gonna be Bittersweet and yeah |
| 17707s | we're taking a look here yeah a new |
| 17708s | record for the nbpl solo day here |
| 17711s | zhangyu with a |
| 17713s | 90.2 and the last record was mine yeah |
| 17716s | 29.1 so the question is okay so Mike's |
| 17720s | got to be so close to matching his |
| 17722s | record here as well because I mean then |
| 17725s | he's so close to matching jangyou in |
| 17729s | terms of that 90 points he must have |
| 17730s | just missed it by one maybe two kills uh |
| 17735s | in this last game for himself there but |
| 17736s | man it's still a huge accomplishment for |
| 17738s | OC's uh zhangyu just a great day in |
| 17741s | general uh and like you said I as |
| 17744s | Bittersweet as it would be to see |
| 17746s | alliance's gin not make it into the |
| 17748s | bi-weekly final because Alliance is a |
| 17751s | team as a whole both the solo player and |
| 17754s | their trios team re really have shown us |
| 17756s | how much they've grown since they've |
| 17758s | come to the nvpl they realistically came |
| 17760s | in in season one did extremely poorly |
| 17764s | they had a whole roster swap going into |
| 17766s | season two that new roster struggling |
| 17770s | having a ton of growing pains and then |
| 17772s | the more they've played doing a great |
| 17774s | job but we're gonna throw things over to |
| 17776s | Jaeger for a quick interview before we |
| 17778s | come back and take a look at those final |
| 17780s | scoreboards |
| 17781s | foreign |
| 17817s | foreign |
| 17821s | very excited |
| 17828s | get 100 score today so |
| 17831s | um so what do you think so after the |
| 17834s | game matches you have the 90 scores and |
| 17836s | what do you think more you want to |
| 17838s | adjust |
| 17852s | foreign |
| 17860s | so in my opinion I think I still need to |
| 17863s | train one-on-one fighting because |
| 17865s | sometimes I only like vote in the 101 |
| 17868s | fighting and I will train it in later |
| 17870s | okay I think it's time for us to move on |
| 17873s | to next part answer for |
| 17876s | treasurement |
| 17883s | so you guys can see a question on screen |
| 17886s | and if you know the answer just type |
| 17888s | them in the chat box after our player |
| 17891s | counting three two one we will take a |
| 17893s | screenshot and the lucky guy will be |
| 17895s | whispered so it's time for us to check |
| 17898s | today's question so who failed to enter |
| 17902s | to the bi-weekly final now |
| 17916s | so before we find out the correct answer |
| 17920s | I have a question so how you feeling for |
| 17922s | this like the whole week |
| 17935s | [Music] |
| 17937s | so I think in this bi-weekly double week |
| 17940s | I think I find the speed for myself and |
| 17944s | it's really fit to the matches and |
| 17945s | really fit to me okay I think our |
| 17948s | players prepared and let's start |
| 17950s | counting |
| 17955s | three two one screenshot okay the lucky |
| 17959s | guy will be whispered okay yeah our |
| 17962s | correct answer today is |

| 18054s | T225 in that and then we just watch uh |
| 18057s | yonkai walk into the blender on top of |
| 18060s | it so much damage coming out from those |
| 18063s | dual blades he immediately picks up the |
| 18065s | kill in tt25 yonkai it was so funny too |
| 18068s | because T225 comes out we see you pick |
| 18071s | up an elimination T225 is able to get |
| 18073s | the soul Bloom to buy himself back in |
| 18075s | the game he's like yes I'm here yonkai |
| 18078s | shows up is desperate to get a soul |
| 18080s | Bloom T225 gets picked up by Zhang Yu |
| 18084s | and yet again zhangyu gifts a soul Bloom |
| 18087s | on a silver platter with another person |
| 18090s | with Yang depletion and then immediately |
| 18093s | strips all hopes away from that player |
| 18095s | yet again it's just like sure you can |
| 18098s | have the soul Bloom from my elimination |
| 18101s | it's not gonna be it's gonna be a |
| 18103s | short-lived celebration but you can have |
| 18105s | it if you want it and event he really |
| 18108s | tears that Lobby apart Wang Liang in the |
| 18110s | end you know we talk about how important |
| 18113s | decision making is too and it's |
| 18115s | literally the decision to try to min max |
| 18120s | we talked about how important it is to |
| 18123s | really maximize everything that you do |
| 18125s | but sometimes we find players in the |
| 18128s | nbpl doing so to their own detriment we |
| 18132s | see the pillar come down from OC Zhang |
| 18135s | Yu Knox Wang Liang off of him realizes |
| 18139s | the Z thing really wants to try to |
| 18141s | maximize the pressure and the Damage |
| 18143s | realizes he's low but instead of jumping |
| 18146s | into the mech to buy himself the reset |
| 18149s | wants to keep the pressure going wants |
| 18151s | to get the maximum amount of the old |
| 18153s | tries to keep the pressure up ends up |
| 18156s | losing control of the neutral because of |
| 18159s | that and it's that decision that Split |
| 18162s | Second decision to not jump into the |
| 18164s | mech that realistically costs him the |
| 18167s | fight against Wang Liang and even though |
| 18169s | he does have that very explosive game he |
| 18172s | puts the most points on the board in a |
| 18174s | single game today because of it he does |
| 18176s | lose out on picking up that ninth |
| 18178s | elimination and that first place finish |
| 18180s | realistically because of that Split |
| 18182s | Second decision and you know we talked |
| 18185s | about it in this last game as well we |
| 18187s | see that Mech come down we see the |
| 18190s | player get the full reset and rather |
| 18192s | than walk away in an optimal position |
| 18195s | where they're out of the middle of the |
| 18198s | pot they're trying to get every single |
| 18202s | ounce of uh you know optimization that |
| 18206s | they can get from having that ultimate |
| 18207s | popped |
| 18209s | and they end up walking into a death |
| 18211s | zone uh and here it is sure enough |
| 18214s | alliance's gin will be pushed down into |
| 18218s | 15 places |
| 18219s | super unfortunate I look it it's |
| 18222s | bittersweet I'm super happy that a |
| 18224s | yonkai able to get their first MVP of |
| 18227s | this season and super happy to see them |
| 18230s | qualify for the bi-weekly final |
| 18233s | Bittersweet though because the Lions is |
| 18235s | gin again aligns the team that's shown |
| 18237s | they have made a drastic amount of |
| 18240s | improvement for jyn to not make it into |
| 18242s | this bi-weekly very very Bittersweet |
| 18245s | we're gonna see yonkai all the way up in |
| 18246s | 12th Place because of his performance |
| 18248s | here a 22.2 uh Point day for them a |
| 18251s | total of 36.7 points realistically at |
| 18254s | the bottom end of the uh players |
| 18257s | qualifying here but stands a chance to |
| 18260s | continue to climb that leaderboard and |
| 18262s | put some of those points up on the board |
| 18264s | for qualifying four worlds which is |
| 18267s | massive you need as many of those points |
| 18270s | for you and your team as humanly |
| 18273s | possible so yonkai right now you you |
| 18276s | know his coach has got to be patnam on |
| 18278s | the back and telling him you know great |
| 18281s | job today taking a look here it's going |
| 18282s | to be OC Zhang Yu with a 48.3 and a 41.9 |
| 18287s | for a total of |
| 18290s | 90.2 points uh aow's bike actually does |
| 18294s | break his record it was at 83.1 |
| 18296s | that was the record before he gets into |
| 18299s | eight sorry an 89.1 he gets an 89.3 but |
| 18303s | it does matter because jangyu breaks |
| 18305s | above that said aow's Mike with a |
| 18308s | 56.6 the most points for a single day |
| 18312s | put on the board so AWS Mike also having |
| 18314s | a really really good showing today but |
| 18319s | we we show my favorite thing in the |
| 18322s | world here that being how important |
| 18325s | consistency is I know chat hates when I |
| 18328s | use the c word uh but it is off the back |
| 18331s | of consistency and consistently |
| 18334s | performing Pretty amazingly that OSU |
| 18337s | Jiang Yu just edges himself out against |
| 18340s | the competition against aow's Mike and |
| 18342s | walks away with the record for the most |
| 18345s | points put up during a bi-weekly for |
| 18347s | solos year in the 2023 spring split so |
| 18351s | congratulations to OSI zhangyu |
| 18354s | congratulations to aow's Mike as well |
| 18356s | for putting up the most points on the |
| 18358s | board for a solo day uh a really really |
| 18362s | huge performance coming out from these |
| 18364s | two players and you know if I'm wbg |
| 18368s | spider I'm seeing this and I'm |
| 18369s | realistically looking and going okay |
| 18371s | these are the two people I need to |
| 18374s | Target coming into this bi-weekly final |
| 18376s | because he was sitting in that first |
| 18378s | place Pole Position coming into the day |
| 18380s | but he did not have the same level of |
| 18384s | performance that Zhang Yu and AOW us as |
| 18387s | Mike had throughout this week so spider |
| 18390s | he's got a little bit of work to do |
| 18392s | coming into the bye weekly final T225 |
| 18394s | able to move up into that fourth place |
| 18397s | position as well off the back of some |
| 18400s | very very strong games today he came in |
| 18402s | looking really weak today but T225 one |
| 18405s | of those players that even when he has |
| 18406s | weak games is able to find that space to |
| 18410s | have those pop-off games and make it |
| 18411s | happen we're gonna be back tomorrow |
| 18413s | ladies and gentlemen for trio so don't |
| 18415s | miss it we've got six more games left in |
| 18417s | trios for this bi-weekly before we head |
| 18419s | into the Bi weekly final so you're going |
| 18422s | to come and make sure you see who |
| 18424s | qualifies for the bi-weekly final for |
| 18427s | trios as well those six games promise to |
| 18430s | be just as explosive as the solos have |
| 18433s | been because trios have also been |
| 18435s | popping off this week and players and |
| 18437s | teams doing absolutely crazy things we |
| 18440s | we saw a 1v3 scenario earlier this week |
| 18444s | in trios as well when Moxie was casting |
| 18447s | just a great week for naraka Esports in |
| 18450s | general these players and teams really |
| 18452s | coming out and uh pulling out all the |
| 18455s | stops this week if you will Duncan |
| 18458s | indeed I mean pulling all putting out |
| 18460s | all the stops is exactly what happened |
| 18462s | today zhangyu Mike breaking records left |
| 18465s | and right putting putting crazy numbers |
| 18469s | on the board and looking good doing it |
| 18472s | and I I upload them and thank them for |
| 18476s | an extremely exciting cast today an |
| 18479s | extremely exciting day of naraka which |
| 18482s | is always lovely to see that's why we do |
| 18484s | it that's why we watch that's that's why |
| 18487s | we love it you know to be able to see |
| 18489s | these insanely good players these |
| 18492s | consistent gods of naraka go out scrap |
| 18497s | it out and put those numbers on the |
| 18499s | board and it's |
| 18501s | the one thing that I do I think is |
| 18503s | missing which I would love to see is a |
| 18505s | little bit more banned for between them |
| 18506s | because I know since I've seen because |
| 18509s | I've watched I've watched the POV of |
| 18512s | Mike |
| 18513s | um whilst he's playing in the mppl and |
| 18516s | this guy does not stop talking I think |
| 18519s | it might be that the similar thing that |
| 18521s | you were talking we were talking about |
| 18522s | earlier where |
| 18525s | do the players I can't remember exactly |
| 18527s | who it was would hum to themselves to |
| 18530s | keep them calm and keep like uh keep |
| 18532s | keep from panicking so to speak and it's |
| 18535s | I think Mike's coping mechanism to just |
| 18539s | pretend like he's streaming the game you |
| 18542s | know for views and just having fun with |
| 18544s | it because this guy he's just memeing |
| 18547s | left and right I remember not all that |
| 18549s | long ago I have a clip in infiniting |
| 18553s | somebody and then whilst doing it going |
| 18556s | yeah boy |
| 18558s | yeah Ainsley Harry and me yeah boy |
| 18563s | um |
| 18564s | it's so funny to see I love it oh |
| 18567s | absolutely |
| 18569s | uh you know that's gonna be it from us |
| 18571s | today though ladies and gentlemen like |
| 18572s | you said we were absolutely blessed with |
| 18574s | some insane naraka today I expect to see |
| 18577s | the same tomorrow but me and Duncan are |
| 18579s | gonna sign off thanks for having us as |
