| 2216s | [Music] |
| 2225s | what's going on ladies and gentlemen |
| 2228s | welcome back to the rocket blade Point |
| 2229s | Broly I'm your host and your guest to |
| 2231s | the ring keeper joining me tonight is my |
| 2233s | boy Raven Raven how we feeling today |
| 2236s | coming into the solos |
| 2238s | thank you people I'm excited to see |
| 2240s | spider versus Mike these are the two |
| 2243s | goats of naraka new school versus old |
| 2246s | school Mike being The naraka Prodigy |
| 2248s | that he is spider being the Terminator |
| 2250s | you just can't stop this guy you can't |
| 2252s | get out of his web he just absolutely |
| 2254s | nukes the lobby and it's just fireworks |
| 2256s | every time you see these two |
| 2258s | oh yeah I'm very very excited to see |
| 2260s | these two players going ahead to head |
| 2262s | there's a lot of players uh to keep our |
| 2264s | eyes on it today as we head in to our |
| 2267s | solos I do believe this is our last day |
| 2269s | of solos as well before we head into our |
| 2272s | bi-weekly final so today is going to |
| 2274s | determine who our players heading to |
| 2276s | that bi-weekly final is going to be and |
| 2277s | it's going to be very very exciting it |
| 2279s | promises to be an explosive day of |
| 2282s | naraka and man what a good day it's been |
| 2284s | you know we get the new patch today of |
| 2287s | course we come in we get some more nbpl |
| 2289s | today I don't think we could ask for |
| 2290s | more in terms of the naraka community |
| 2292s | for all of the content that we get here |
| 2295s | uh for naraga I'm excited for so many |
| 2297s | things you know I'm gonna be heading off |
| 2299s | immediately after nbpl to go play with |
| 2301s | the new patches well akko's getting some |
| 2303s | new abilities uh we we talked a little |
| 2305s | bit about this uh coming in here before |
| 2307s | we got things started uh how we feel |
| 2309s | those uh that F3 and V3 are gonna affect |
| 2312s | them in terms of solos and trios and I I |
| 2315s | think we're gonna see some akkos uh |
| 2317s | coming through for sure or whether it's |
| 2320s | going to be in trios or solos is still |
| 2322s | yet to be determined you know this is |
| 2325s | the thing I love about the nbpl that we |
| 2327s | don't get to talk about enough here uh |
| 2329s | on the show is the kind of micro meta |
| 2333s | that develops throughout these different |
| 2334s | bi-weeklies because you come in at the |
| 2336s | start of the week and you have an |
| 2338s | expectation and of course there are |
| 2340s | these meta picks and these meta Heroes |
| 2343s | that a lot of these players are going to |
| 2344s | be playing but some people always coming |
| 2346s | in trying to Pioneer new things trying |
| 2348s | to bring new things into the meta and we |
| 2351s | get to watch that develop throughout the |
| 2353s | week how these people react to these new |
| 2355s | hero picks coming in these new |
| 2357s | strategies coming in uh and it just is |
| 2360s | so drastically different some days from |
| 2363s | what the actual meta in either n a or CN |
| 2365s | is uh that it just becomes its own |
| 2368s | little microcosm here in the nvpl and I |
| 2371s | think one of the ones that we've seen a |
| 2373s | lot of moving forward has been the valda |
| 2375s | pick coming through we were just talking |
| 2377s | about the sort sort of trick these |
| 2379s | players have figured out with the F3 the |
| 2382s | ability to just kind of use that and uh |
| 2385s | lock themselves into one of those |
| 2386s | grapple combos right yeah the other |
| 2390s | really really interesting thing I think |
| 2391s | Wang Wang and Fong I've always been like |
| 2394s | the leaders of innovation you always see |
| 2396s | the Terminators like T225 Mike and uh |
| 2400s | spider they just go they go they get in |
| 2402s | the Yang and they're just suplexing the |
| 2404s | lobby but if you're not those three like |
| 2406s | what is your strategy and like there's |
| 2408s | 14 other there's what 11 10 other |
| 2410s | players what are they doing and Wang |
| 2412s | Ling is always uh been that guy who's |
| 2415s | innovated picking a |
| 2417s | non-traditional picks on certain Maps |
| 2419s | wherever the whole map is zipping you |
| 2421s | see him going to cada and I was I was |
| 2424s | like why is he doing this turns out |
| 2427s | Decatur just dominates zipping in Yang |
| 2430s | and normally his Takeda versus spider |
| 2432s | 225 Mike he loses but when they're on |
| 2436s | zipping different story so you're seeing |
| 2438s | these really really interesting |
| 2439s | counterpicks that people are doing on |
| 2442s | the days that uh people don't normally |
| 2443s | think about the day times everyone |
| 2445s | always thinks about fireflies I want to |
| 2446s | get my oh I want to get that Tarka |
| 2448s | infinite going I want to get out there |
| 2450s | get oogly get some kills but we see the |
| 2453s | the big brain players like Wang Wang and |
| 2455s | a Fong if you're looking to figure out a |
| 2458s | way to win if you're not the best |
| 2459s | fighter those two are great players to |
| 2461s | watch |
| 2462s | oh yeah absolutely Wang Liang doing one |
| 2465s | of my favorite things coming into our uh |
| 2467s | first bi-weekly uh this season here for |
| 2470s | the spring split uh where he was just he |
| 2472s | walked around with a pair of nunchucks |
| 2473s | in his back pocket at all times dagger |
| 2475s | was like the prevalent Meadow we saw uh |
| 2478s | players like Fang who literally just |
| 2480s | were like I'm going to commit to nothing |
| 2482s | but dagger all the time even if I've got |
| 2484s | a legendary Katana in my back pocket I'm |
| 2486s | gonna use a white dagger and it was Wang |
| 2489s | Liang who started carrying those |
| 2490s | nunchucks around because the nunchucks |
| 2492s | have a very high win rate uh into dagger |
| 2495s | believe it or not I think it's something |
| 2496s | like a 78 win rate uh for nunchucks |
| 2500s | versus dagger which is pretty darn |
| 2503s | substantial and Wang Liang not only is |
| 2505s | somebody who knows how to play nunchucks |
| 2508s | very well you know during his very first |
| 2510s | season in the nbpl uh he came in and |
| 2512s | absolutely dominated lobbies both on |
| 2515s | Takeda and with those nunchucks uh it |
| 2517s | was off the back of those performances |
| 2518s | he was able to do some crazy things |
| 2521s | during season one so just see him like |
| 2523s | you said adapting some of this sort of |
| 2525s | not even new tech but this decision |
| 2527s | making to just come in and be like okay |
| 2529s | hey look everybody's running dagger |
| 2531s | nunchucks wins into that yes I might not |
| 2534s | be preferring to play nunchucks right |
| 2536s | now but if I see the dagger I'm just |
| 2537s | gonna pull him out of my back pocket and |
| 2539s | do what I do best we're gonna we're |
| 2541s | gonna take every sliver of Advantage we |
| 2544s | can take and make it work for us here |
| 2546s | and that's what I'd love to see again |
| 2547s | we're talking about that microcosm of a |
| 2550s | meta that these players are developing |
| 2552s | here in the nbpl where you go out in |
| 2556s | regular ranked some of these things |
| 2557s | might not work as well in regular ranked |
| 2560s | especially like you know you're talking |
| 2562s | a difference in a Lobby of 60 players |
| 2564s | versus the lobby of 14 to 16 players |
| 2567s | where the decision-making really makes |
| 2571s | so much more of an effect on these |
| 2574s | players because into a Lobby of 60 |
| 2576s | you're gonna have people in ranked who |
| 2578s | just don't care they're going to be |
| 2579s | playing who their favorite hero is |
| 2581s | whether it's meta or not here are in |
| 2583s | this sort of microcosm you have to min |
| 2586s | max absolutely everything and at the end |
| 2589s | of the day that's what we love to see |
| 2591s | coming up in new players taking a look |
| 2592s | here at the average points per game |
| 2595s | we're gonna see uh JT's action sitting |
| 2597s | at the top at |
| 2599s | 7.6 average points per game following |
| 2602s | shortly behind them T225 Wang Liang and |
| 2605s | aow's Mike keeping that level of |
| 2608s | consistency we love to see uh coming |
| 2612s | through from these players like we talk |
| 2613s | about this all the time uh consistency |
| 2615s | and how important it is |
| 2617s | at the end of the day because like you |
| 2620s | have players who are big pop-off players |
| 2623s | the problem being is that they're very |
| 2625s | feast or famine they either have very |
| 2627s | good games where they have very bad |
| 2629s | games when you're a consistency player |
| 2631s | all it takes is that one big game on top |
| 2635s | of consistent performances to Skyrocket |
| 2637s | you to the very tippity top of the pack |
| 2639s | Raven |
| 2640s | oh yeah what I really really love about |
| 2643s | that list is you see demo right next to |
| 2646s | spider now demos it's his first time in |
| 2649s | the league and now he's not exactly |
| 2650s | having a mic performance but he's |
| 2652s | definitely performing really really well |
| 2654s | when he's hanging right there with |
| 2656s | spider and the one thing I really like |
| 2658s | about uh demo is he plays a very very |
| 2660s | consistent game I know he was playing |
| 2663s | with high ping coming over to CN |
| 2666s | and playing that loping a lot of people |
| 2668s | were doubters of whether or not he could |
| 2670s | do it but I would say because of his |
| 2672s | consistent strategy like you were |
| 2673s | talking about he's able to hang in with |
| 2675s | the best of them and find really good |
| 2678s | kills against some of the the best |
| 2679s | fighters in the game now sometimes |
| 2681s | they're third parties but I've seen demo |
| 2683s | uh doing some great armor versus purple |
| 2685s | armored like being the hero that we |
| 2687s | deserve being one of the first |
| 2689s | foreigners within the league I think |
| 2691s | demo is doing really really great and |
| 2693s | it's unfortunate that we won't see him |
| 2694s | today but I'm excited to see how he does |
| 2697s | against all these top players in finals |
| 2699s | because the weeklies are very very |
| 2701s | exciting but finals it's clutch time |
| 2703s | where all their strategies that they |
| 2705s | kind of work out in this microcosm they |
| 2707s | they iron out all the details they test |
| 2709s | some things once they're already |
| 2710s | qualified but seeing the final draft is |
| 2714s | the beautiful naraka that I live for |
| 2716s | personally and right there Wang Lang the |
| 2719s | innovator himself using the nunchucks uh |
| 2722s | a lot of people |
| 2724s | get really disappointed by the dagger |
| 2726s | meta that they see in solos but |
| 2727s | nunchucks and staff weapon swap is the |
| 2731s | answer to dagger if you're having a hard |
| 2733s | time versus dagger like RunKeeper was |
| 2735s | saying these two weapons have a high |
| 2737s | percentage against dagger and it's |
| 2739s | mainly you're just able to deal with the |
| 2741s | fact that dagger is just barraging you |
| 2744s | with these light attacks over and over |
| 2745s | and over and it seems like they're just |
| 2747s | getting away with everything but what |
| 2749s | staff and nunchucks do really really |
| 2751s | well is they catch them you catch that |
| 2753s | little sneaky dagger trying to get away |
| 2755s | because nunchucks just has like a scoop |
| 2757s | a lot of scooping attacks really really |
| 2759s | fast uh staff just lunges really really |
| 2762s | far forward so when those dagger players |
| 2764s | are trying to dagger Dodge over and over |
| 2766s | trying to get away from you you're able |
| 2767s | to catch them |
| 2768s | and have a ton of success what you're |
| 2771s | seeing in a lot of this meta that's |
| 2773s | evolved in the nbpl is this relationship |
| 2776s | where you've got players like Fong who |
| 2777s | will literally drop every other weapon |
| 2779s | gold weapons flexing on the rest of the |
| 2781s | lobby that he's he has a monogamous |
| 2783s | relationship with the dagger and he has |
| 2786s | so much success with the dagger X in |
| 2788s | right now who's doing super super well |
| 2789s | also a really really big dagger player |
| 2792s | but you're seeing like the OG's like |
| 2794s | Panda man Mike uh Wang lank who are more |
| 2797s | Specialists who were like |
| 2799s | specialize in multiple weapons they can |
| 2801s | use every single weapon and make it work |
| 2803s | even with all the Nerfs to Target you're |
| 2805s | seeing Panda man still double Tarka |
| 2807s | you're seeing Mike double tarker and |
| 2809s | they're still taking |
| 2811s | every single fight they can on these |
| 2814s | Nerf characters supposedly Nerf |
| 2815s | characters and still having a ton of |
| 2817s | success at the top of the league |
| 2822s | I was gonna say a big part of that too |
| 2824s | is |
| 2825s | um corn rocket mechanics right like you |
| 2827s | said some of these players are very |
| 2829s | specialized characters like we talk |
| 2831s | about thing or right he loves loves |
| 2834s | loves loves the dagger to his own |
| 2836s | detriment right and you look at a player |
| 2839s | like that and yes they have good core |
| 2841s | mechanics but the question is do they |
| 2843s | have great core mechanics you turn back |
| 2846s | and you look at somebody you know like |
| 2848s | Panda man or Mike and you're talking |
| 2849s | about two players who course core |
| 2851s | mechanics are the best of the best right |
| 2854s | you can put any weapon and any hero in |
| 2857s | their hands and they're going to excel |
| 2859s | in 90 of those situations and that's why |
| 2862s | those players are so very good and why |
| 2865s | they can take Heroes like Tarka who like |
| 2868s | you said has been nerfed multiple times |
| 2870s | and still perform on a hero like that |
| 2873s | because at the end of the day their core |
| 2874s | mechanics are so good |
| 2877s | yeah 225 Mike spider are definitely the |
| 2881s | players that I say that that have great |
| 2883s | core mechanics and a lot of people say |
| 2885s | that like rank is not the same as |
| 2888s | tournaments but you're seeing like Mike |
| 2889s | is a ranked demon so was Chu Zheng like |
| 2892s | he choosing is a rank one uh normal rank |
| 2896s | one not a mortable rank one from CN and |
| 2898s | he's this is one of his first times in |
| 2900s | the league as well and he's having a ton |
| 2902s | of success as far as fighting styles so |
| 2904s | there's a definitely |
| 2906s | a lot to say that you can learn from |
| 2909s | using every single weapons and working |
| 2910s | on the pure fundamentals of the game and |
| 2913s | how it translates from weapon to Weapon |
| 2915s | It's really just like a personality that |
| 2917s | you kind of fall in love with the one |
| 2919s | thing I really love about naraka is that |
| 2920s | even though certain weapons are meta a |
| 2923s | lot of weapons can still compete there |
| 2925s | are very few 80 20s in the game where |
| 2927s | it's just like hopeless if you run up |
| 2929s | against it the only one I can really |
| 2930s | think of in the game is dagger versus |
| 2932s | great sword or pull sword but every |
| 2934s | other matchup is winnable as long as you |
| 2936s | have really really good core mechanics |
| 2938s | good reading ability and a good feel for |
| 2940s | the game you can find Opportunities to |
| 2942s | win even at low hit points like uh |
| 2945s | dagger isn't as oppressive as people may |
| 2948s | think it's just |
| 2949s | in these really really tough lobbies |
| 2952s | daggered really helps you survive that's |
| 2955s | where dagger really excels over other |
| 2957s | weapons it's scale Rush is a super super |
| 2959s | fast you're just able to zip and zag off |
| 2961s | walls it's just ramen noodles everywhere |
| 2964s | just instantly getting out of certain |
| 2965s | situations and and you have more energy |
| 2967s | or more stamina so you're able to dodge |
| 2969s | way more than any other weapon so those |
| 2971s | being a factor into it makes dagger one |
| 2975s | of the best solar weapons right now |
| 2977s | um but doesn't mean that other weapons |
| 2979s | aren't that good especially off spawn |
| 2982s | having good core mechanics off spawn is |
| 2984s | where these other players shine if uh |
| 2986s | you're a weapon one trick you never know |
| 2989s | what you're gonna get i'll spawn I'll |
| 2991s | spawn is a box of chocolates |
| 2993s | all spawns are absolutely crazy speaking |
| 2995s | about spawning taking a look at the |
| 2997s | sponsor a very Eastern uh map here is |
| 3000s | where you're not going to see a lot of |
| 3002s | the players heading towards the West |
| 3004s | we're gonna see one drop here in |
| 3006s | celestra a couple of people uh heading |
| 3008s | up towards a lovely Sun Wings rest but |
| 3011s | the majority of players uh heading to |
| 3013s | the direct East here and it looks like |
| 3015s | we're going to be off to a straight |
| 3017s | Banger this guy ladies Fang here already |
| 3019s | finding themselves engaged you're gonna |
| 3020s | pop at the bubble immediately against uh |
| 3023s | xcg's Wang Liang Wang Yang more than |
| 3025s | happy to just go ahead and back out of |
| 3027s | this fight gonna find himself a blue |
| 3029s | dagger here unfortunately no armor yet |
| 3031s | for Wang Lang and this has been quite |
| 3034s | the hot Drop he knows there's a lot of |
| 3036s | players nearby and he needs to go ahead |
| 3037s | and find that armor as soon as humanly |
| 3039s | possible especially as we see Fang who |
| 3041s | went the opposite direction uh used that |
| 3044s | bubble to get away he was going to find |
| 3045s | himself a set of purple armor which |
| 3047s | means he's going to be on the hunt very |
| 3049s | quickly for many of these players he's |
| 3050s | got a massive Advantage uh over these |
| 3053s | players who are still running around |
| 3054s | with no armor speaking of which Wang |
| 3055s | Liang waiting nearby and it looks like |
| 3057s | Feng wants to actually go into that |
| 3059s | fight but j-team's action |
| 3062s | apple and say no gonna Force Fang to go |
| 3064s | ahead and pop the bubble immediately |
| 3066s | here and Feng's gonna be forced out of |
| 3068s | this fight with Wang Liang action |
| 3069s | doesn't really want to take the fight as |
| 3071s | soon as they grapple into Fang and |
| 3072s | realize uh the purple set of armor there |
| 3074s | then he just decided to go ahead and get |
| 3075s | out of Dodge but aow's Mike a player who |
| 3078s | does not care about the disparaging |
| 3080s | armor is going to continue to pressure |
| 3082s | on to them until uh he sees a couple of |
| 3085s | these other players winning the distance |
| 3086s | and this is uh this is what we talked |
| 3088s | about Mike's decision making very good |
| 3090s | he very aggressively pressures onto that |
| 3092s | and within a quick second that makes the |
| 3094s | determination that the third party is |
| 3096s | going to come in if he continues to |
| 3098s | pressure that fight as we turn now to |
| 3100s | wbg spider and jdg's Chu Zhang spider on |
| 3103s | the Justina here able to lock some hits |
| 3106s | in on to Zhang and gonna completely lock |
| 3109s | down and be forced to burn the ultimate |
| 3112s | here to stay alive the Perry coming in |
| 3113s | from spider jujang lets a blue rip in |
| 3116s | his face and unfortunately spider on the |
| 3118s | read will be able to pick up the Perry |
| 3119s | and the elimination |
| 3121s | what a great Kill from spider and this |
| 3124s | is what I was saying uh Spider |
| 3126s | definitely not afraid to choose |
| 3128s | different picks with uh the Morris map |
| 3131s | right now with fireflies on the map he |
| 3133s | actually chooses to go to Cena and what |
| 3135s | we're seeing right now is a lot of the |
| 3137s | counter play happening in the league |
| 3139s | right now is going for third party |
| 3141s | characters Matari you're seeing a ton of |
| 3143s | Ataris from the top five players where |
| 3145s | they're choosing to stay and lurk around |
| 3147s | the groups and look for these |
| 3148s | assassination plays matar being one of |
| 3151s | the best characters to come in get a |
| 3153s | quick kill and you're able to just |
| 3155s | teleport out and stay safe the entire |
| 3156s | time |
| 3158s | the other the other strategy is going |
| 3160s | very very defensive on this map and |
| 3162s | playing like ego right now with this big |
| 3164s | kill on him Atari with zipping where |
| 3166s | you're able to just tank these |
| 3168s | annoying flies on the wall |
| 3171s | I'm gonna pick up all these kills now |
| 3172s | we're seeing wbg spider versus Wang Lang |
| 3174s | these two are the heavy weights of the |
| 3176s | league spider Wang ylang no |
| 3179s | no strangers to the high pressure |
| 3182s | situation spider forcing the situation |
| 3184s | and Wang Lang's choosing to take the |
| 3185s | defensive option to just get in his Mech |
| 3188s | chill out a little Steve spider over |
| 3190s | commits his alt and see if we can get a |
| 3192s | shot off goes with a long shot but |
| 3194s | spider is able to dodge out and get out |
| 3195s | of Dodge dodging the shot from Lang Lang |
| 3198s | ready to take this fight though wanting |
| 3201s | to take out his competition here and |
| 3203s | this is like a defining factor of the |
| 3205s | top players of the league they are not |
| 3207s | afraid to take out their competition now |
| 3209s | Mike coming in seeing Wang Lange looking |
| 3211s | for the assassination play and kaibao |
| 3214s | and joining into this herd now we just |
| 3216s | got a bunch of people on Wang Ling |
| 3218s | trying to survive the Lobby's Focus |
| 3220s | right now throwing out focus attacks it |
| 3223s | might be inevitable that he's going to |
| 3224s | be taking down Mike just taking every |
| 3226s | opportunity to get anyone low Kai Bowen |
| 3229s | the background getting absolutely mauled |
| 3231s | by Mike picking up a huge kill batari |
| 3234s | pig coming in Big Mike actually picking |
| 3237s | Matari as his opener and having a ton of |
| 3239s | success coming into the league a lot of |
| 3241s | the league that actually copy Mike |
| 3243s | opening up with Matari just because of |
| 3244s | this assassination play that you're |
| 3246s | seeing where Mike now chasing the white |
| 3249s | armor Wang Lang with spider right on his |
| 3251s | tail |
| 3252s | oh but spider picking up the Paragon |
| 3254s | Mike ignoring my completion being like |
| 3256s | I'm gonna take this kill get over here |
| 3258s | Wang Ling they're both looking to pick |
| 3260s | up this kill to get an early lead to |
| 3262s | snowball this Lobby now another player |
| 3265s | joining in the full Wang Wang looking |
| 3267s | desperately for a place to escape this |
| 3269s | focused fire Mike holding a gun to Wang |
| 3272s | Lang's head but spiders able to pick up |
| 3274s | a huge kill using that nunchuck Perry |
| 3277s | now Mike and spider the two best players |
| 3280s | in nbpl this is what I tuned in to watch |
| 3283s | these two players that go at it but X in |
| 3286s | the current leader of the lead showing |
| 3288s | them that hey there's a new lock on new |
| 3291s | kid on the Block we're trying to |
| 3293s | Dethrone you two and now Mike and spider |
| 3295s | ignoring the new kid on the Block just |
| 3298s | going over to the tree houses Mike not |
| 3301s | letting spider get away let's fight here |
| 3303s | finding the armor resets and Mike with |
| 3306s | the ginormous Perry but spider still has |
| 3308s | his cooldowns up able to pop his old is |
| 3311s | he gonna go for the kill and he's |
| 3313s | actually going to pressure Mike he's |
| 3315s | there's no backing out with spider he |
| 3317s | does not care he's willing to take a |
| 3319s | spider down to get him off while xen |
| 3322s | looks for the kill steal ends up being |
| 3325s | the kill himself though now X in under a |
| 3327s | ton of pressure forced to Polo ult and |
| 3330s | now spider making his Escape now Mike |
| 3333s | finding a low HD Target now |
| 3335s | unfortunately that's excellent he's |
| 3337s | trying to get away but that sticky stuff |
| 3338s | ends up taking him down not able to get |
| 3341s | away what a play by Mike |
| 3345s | look this is this is something we talk |
| 3346s | about all the time right and it's |
| 3347s | something wbg spider really excels at |
| 3349s | when you're in those sort of situations |
| 3351s | where you've just become the focus of |
| 3353s | the lobby a lot of these players will |
| 3356s | just try to run away and nobody in these |
| 3359s | lobbies are going to let you get away |
| 3360s | when you're low the the chase is going |
| 3362s | to remain on which you see players like |
| 3364s | wbg spider do is they realize they need |
| 3367s | to turn that Focus onto somebody else if |
| 3370s | they stand any chance of escaping and |
| 3372s | that's what we see spider do he |
| 3374s | immediately turns that attention onto |
| 3376s | action gets action low everybody else |
| 3379s | there realizes oh hey we're gonna have |
| 3381s | to burn less resources to eliminate |
| 3383s | action here turn our attention away from |
| 3385s | wbg spider let's pick up the free |
| 3387s | elimination on to action and that by |
| 3389s | spider the time and space that he needs |
| 3392s | to get away and that's we see him do it |
| 3395s | time and time again and it's why I love |
| 3397s | spider as a player is he knows how to |
| 3400s | play uh a bad situation when third |
| 3402s | parties come through and that's exactly |
| 3404s | what we see him do aow's Mike here |
| 3406s | waiting for this realm of Yang to come |
| 3407s | through and we're going to see that he's |
| 3408s | going to be going head to head with gs's |
| 3411s | T225 here this is going to be a very |
| 3413s | good fight these are two very explosive |
| 3415s | players getting ready to go ahead to |
| 3417s | head inside this realm of Yang we do see |
| 3419s | Mike with a little bit of Advantage here |
| 3420s | he's got the purple armor over the blue |
| 3423s | armor here uh coming through from T225 |
| 3425s | goes for the bow shot it doesn't look |
| 3426s | like he's able to connect onto it will |
| 3428s | come in with some huge opening combos |
| 3431s | onto T225 uh catches the light attack |
| 3433s | and then animation cancels back into |
| 3435s | another light attack uh most of a full |
| 3437s | combo into T225 as T225 comes down from |
| 3440s | the arrow T225 will find a reset onto |
| 3443s | the armor though as Mike is forced to |
| 3445s | back off and do the same now we're gonna |
| 3448s | see the invisibility coming in from both |
| 3450s | of these players unfortunately aow's |
| 3452s | Mike actually forced to use the teleport |
| 3454s | to get away here which means he can |
| 3456s | extend his combos with it all he can do |
| 3458s | is teleport back while he's in the |
| 3460s | ultimate unfortunately T225 starting to |
| 3462s | take control of the situation yet again |
| 3465s | shreds the armor off of Micah for a |
| 3467s | third time and Mike looking for the |
| 3469s | reset yet again comes in on to the |
| 3472s | nunchucks though and is able to find the |
| 3473s | arms right onto T225 into a mini meter |
| 3476s | dump all his audit two to five follows |
| 3478s | it up immediately doing a ton of damage |
| 3480s | now trying to come in with the jug of |
| 3482s | Perry that's gonna be it as aow's mic |
| 3484s | will be your winner of our first realm |
| 3486s | of Yang as he can please let's d225 out |
| 3490s | of existence man what a follow-up from |
| 3492s | that meter dump into the aerial jump |
| 3494s | Perry from Mike man what a clean fight |
| 3497s | we see coming through here Mike of |
| 3499s | course could be taking that Vermillion |
| 3501s | Birds might just start things off and |
| 3503s | we're ct225 looking to find a place to |
| 3506s | reset and looking for somebody to |
| 3508s | eliminate looks like uh he's got his |
| 3510s | eyes on wbg spider we'll see how that |
| 3512s | plays out for him as he heads towards |
| 3515s | that next Resurrection we've got a |
| 3517s | couple of codes up on the screen for |
| 3518s | those watching at home you can head over |
| 3520s | to steam and redeem these codes to get |
| 3522s | yourself a free copy of naraka Blade |
| 3524s | point if you haven't already uh this is |
| 3527s | your time to go ahead and lock one in |
| 3528s | 2225 gonna take that Resurrection here |
| 3530s | and it looks like he's heading in the |
| 3532s | direction of uh or well I thought he |
| 3535s | said in the direction of the spider but |
| 3536s | he's changed course here uh he needs to |
| 3538s | find somebody if he wants to be able to |
| 3540s | get rid of this Yang to police he's got |
| 3542s | three minutes and that 30 seconds to |
| 3544s | find his next Target as we turn back to |
| 3546s | Mike who's now going head to head with |
| 3547s | Wang Liang |
| 3548s | the uppercut on the nunchucks though |
| 3551s | absolutely taking control of this |
| 3553s | situation onto Mike has used the F here |
| 3555s | but still has the ultimate available and |
| 3558s | then Mike wading in the wings here just |
| 3560s | trying to find an advantage oh my God |
| 3562s | we'll get a massive Perry into the |
| 3563s | corner and so many players show up the |
| 3566s | mech forced to come down from Wang Liang |
| 3568s | as the massive third party into fourth |
| 3571s | party just forces Wang Liang to pop the |
| 3574s | ultimate he's able to survive though |
| 3576s | because of the knockback coming in from |
| 3579s | the V3 pillar here Wang Ling able to |
| 3581s | find a little bit of a reset but not a |
| 3583s | full reset as all three of these members |
| 3585s | Panda man T225 oh my goodness it looks |
| 3588s | like the entire Lobby is showing up just |
| 3590s | to give Chase to xcg's Wang Ling |
| 3595s | makes it to this Tower here this Tower |
| 3598s | is one of the best places in Morris to |
| 3601s | actually get away from your opponent |
| 3602s | because you're seeing multiple levels |
| 3604s | here actually this spot right here is |
| 3605s | one of my favorite positions to actually |
| 3607s | kite everyone there's a little pocket in |
| 3610s | that rooftop you're able to just go in |
| 3611s | circles over and over and it's really |
| 3613s | really hard to figure out which level |
| 3616s | you're actually on we're seeing all the |
| 3618s | best dealers here we got Panda man out |
| 3620s | here we got kaibao out here Panda man's |
| 3623s | Justina all pop Mike out here getting |
| 3627s | the double meter Panda man looking to |
| 3629s | take down Shen Yuan shenuan with his old |
| 3632s | Pompton Takeda |
| 3634s | it's gonna have to survive but we're |
| 3636s | seeing a little bit of some pts over |
| 3638s | here handyman getting peeled off of his |
| 3641s | Target |
| 3643s | Mike popping his old he still has the |
| 3645s | buff ends up committing his own even |
| 3647s | though he has a resurrection this might |
| 3649s | end up biting him later on when he won't |
| 3652s | have his defensive cooldown to keep him |
| 3655s | safe in this situation double Downing on |
| 3657s | how tricky the Serene is you're able to |
| 3659s | survive now Kai Bao getting the |
| 3662s | unfortunate end of this stick but able |
| 3664s | to push Mike off with a big Perry |
| 3667s | knocking Mike's HP down to half but |
| 3670s | Mike's Not Afraid at all even though |
| 3672s | with zipping's big ultimate heal taking |
| 3675s | away |
| 3676s | Kai bounce Health getting bigger and |
| 3678s | bigger but now two two five coming in |
| 3681s | bending it all on blue but kaibao |
| 3684s | betting it all on red pushing two two |
| 3686s | five off but now Target's getting |
| 3688s | switched left and right the hunter now |
| 3693s | becoming the hunted Mike at 1hp able to |
| 3696s | use his F3 to break some angles |
| 3699s | unfortunately still counts he has the |
| 3701s | red zone and he will be coming back for |
| 3703s | some more but now Panda man finding some |
| 3707s | action with 225 on his last leg with a |
| 3710s | gray armor finding himself the target of |
| 3713s | the lobby Kai Bell and Panda man trying |
| 3716s | to steal this kill Cabo ends up taking |
| 3718s | the kill on two two five now turning his |
| 3720s | attention to kaibal |
| 3723s | but Mike coming back to the action |
| 3725s | knowing that everyone's cooldowns here |
| 3727s | has been used up and with so much of |
| 3730s | this fighting going down Mike able to |
| 3733s | bring back his Alt |
| 3735s | knowing that he's full safe he can |
| 3737s | actually Chase signed cowbell baiting |
| 3739s | out his Perry kaibao under a ton of |
| 3742s | pressure ending up having a second oh |
| 3744s | but Mike matching his old continuing the |
| 3747s | pressure Panda man denying the exits and |
| 3750s | kaibal gets the door shut on him and his |
| 3752s | lob his game is over and back to the |
| 3755s | lobby for him |
| 3757s | oh man it's so unfortunate for our |
| 3759s | employee there as Panama is able to |
| 3762s | slide and secure the goal I want to talk |
| 3763s | about Mike here for a second he's using |
| 3765s | a really interesting piece of tech um |
| 3767s | that I love to see and it's something |
| 3769s | that's difficult to execute uh in the |
| 3772s | middle of frantic combat but we see him |
| 3774s | do it like three times in that last |
| 3776s | fight before he's forced to use that |
| 3777s | Vermillion Birds might to get the |
| 3779s | resurrection where he uses the teleport |
| 3781s | to go aerial at the very top of that |
| 3784s | teleport there is a tiny tiny window |
| 3788s | where you can tap Dodge and use that tap |
| 3791s | Dodge to actually start charging up a |
| 3794s | blue Focus attack so you can fall to the |
| 3796s | ground fully charged in a focus attack |
| 3799s | and he does it with a legendary long |
| 3801s | sword and catches those vertical slashes |
| 3803s | like three times in that fight I love to |
| 3806s | see that little piece of tech coming out |
| 3808s | from Mike it's something you don't see |
| 3810s | uh typically a lot unless players are |
| 3812s | scale rushing and the fact that he's |
| 3814s | doing it off the top of the teleport is |
| 3815s | just huge uh unfortunate here Wang Liang |
| 3818s | actually looking to go for the realm of |
| 3820s | Yang but just misses it by literally a |
| 3824s | millisecond here so unfortunately we |
| 3826s | aren't going to get a second realm of |
| 3828s | Yang fight here but Wang Liang Against |
| 3830s | All Odds still in this you know he was |
| 3832s | completely caught out in that corner uh |
| 3834s | when Mike landed that Master Perry but |
| 3836s | he's able to use the pillar and get his |
| 3837s | old and use his old to get out there |
| 3839s | with some tricky positioning uh so he's |
| 3842s | going to stay in it unfortunately for |
| 3844s | Wang Lang there's only 10 players left |
| 3845s | alive in this Lobby and he's got zero |
| 3848s | elimination so he needs to start finding |
| 3850s | some momentum under his belt pretty |
| 3852s | quickly here TK's xxy here on the run as |
| 3855s | Shen Yuan giving Chase xxy trying to |
| 3858s | return the favor here on it to some |
| 3860s | musket shots unable to connect on him |
| 3862s | and Chen Wan just coming in and catching |
| 3864s | out these light attacks putting in work |
| 3866s | on to xxy xxy using the pillar a little |
| 3869s | early here uh wants to just try to go |
| 3872s | ahead and take control of this situation |
| 3873s | as soon as possible but realistically |
| 3876s | this is exactly which anyone wants to do |
| 3878s | he wants to bait that alt out as soon as |
| 3880s | possible he hasn't committed his |
| 3882s | ultimate or his F ability yet you can |
| 3884s | just go ahead and let xxy take a full |
| 3886s | reset here and I send you on once the |
| 3888s | full commit to this fight as soon as |
| 3889s | this ultimate's gone Shen Yuan just |
| 3891s | crashes in and can take control of this |
| 3894s | massive fight all over again xxy very |
| 3897s | close uh to running out of that ultimate |
| 3899s | charge here there it is he's going to go |
| 3900s | out of the mech wants to go on to Shen |
| 3903s | you on but it's going to be forced away |
| 3904s | we're going to see Firehouse come |
| 3905s | through and Shen Yuan not gonna give up |
| 3907s | this Chase he was able to bait the |
| 3908s | ultimate out early enough that he's |
| 3910s | hyper committed to this you see the F |
| 3912s | come through just to extend the combo a |
| 3914s | little bit to get some extra damage onto |
| 3915s | xxy we will see shenyon back off just a |
| 3918s | little bit uh trying to look for a reset |
| 3920s | as Panda man comes in for the third |
| 3921s | party with the bow shot denying both the |
| 3923s | reset and putting genuine in quite a bad |
| 3926s | situation genuine actually uh making a |
| 3928s | misplay as he tries to go up the tree |
| 3930s | here not quite able to get into the |
| 3932s | clubhouse he's gonna find himself on the |
| 3935s | receiving end of some pain as Alliance |
| 3936s | Jim coming in with a massive bow shot |
| 3938s | setting the ground on fire underneath of |
| 3940s | him is going to do some health tick to |
| 3942s | Shen you on Panama and gonna back off |
| 3943s | after he's forced to use the F2 to get a |
| 3946s | little bit of armor back there and send |
| 3947s | you on with the ultimate unfortunately |
| 3949s | is being forced to just burn that |
| 3952s | ultimate to survive in that given that |
| 3954s | situation Shen Yuan was on the hunt for |
| 3957s | xxy there and it could have been |
| 3959s | disaster for xxy had Panda man not |
| 3961s | showed up and uh saved the day if you |
| 3963s | will uh kind of griefing Shen Yuan uh |
| 3967s | tried to pick up the elimination but not |
| 3968s | quite able to find it as we take back |
| 3970s | and take a look here's wvg spider in the |
| 3973s | early game going against jg's at Chu |
| 3975s | Zhang here uh with the dagger this is a |
| 3978s | spider doing what spider does look at |
| 3979s | this the hot swap into the bow with a |
| 3982s | very quick pick up there uh onto one but |
| 3984s | j-team's action just waiting in the |
| 3986s | wings here able to pick up the |
| 3988s | elimination on to spider |
| 3989s | and unfortunately sends spider back to |
| 3993s | the lobby J team's action only that |
| 3995s | single elimination on spider |
| 3997s | under their belt but I mean action got |
| 3999s | to be feeling fairly good about that |
| 4001s | actions had a good performance this week |
| 4003s | in the bi-weekly and every point he's |
| 4005s | able to get over W players like wbg |
| 4008s | spider uh is it just a massive increase |
| 4011s | in his odds of being in that top three |
| 4014s | space heading into the bi-weekly final |
| 4016s | aw's Mike here uh just using that long |
| 4019s | sword there you're gonna see him use |
| 4021s | that left click Tech just to create a |
| 4023s | little bit of space while buying himself |
| 4025s | just a little bit of safety across those |
| 4027s | rooftops Kelly's Fang here hanging out |
| 4029s | by the no old zone now we're gonna see |
| 4031s | here it is j-team's action who very |
| 4033s | close to the tippity top demo |
| 4035s | unfortunately doesn't get to play today |
| 4036s | and continue putting points on the board |
| 4038s | uh and action very very close to already |
| 4041s | overtaking demo at the very top of the |
| 4044s | leaderboard uh interesting to see the uh |
| 4047s | White repeating crossbow coming out here |
| 4049s | though Raven I think this is a little |
| 4053s | bit adventurous for a strategy I would |
| 4055s | say he might have venom tips he might be |
| 4057s | looking for some finesse in the end game |
| 4059s | and you're seeing a lot of really |
| 4061s | interesting veteran plays Panda man |
| 4062s | doing a lot better in this weekly and |
| 4065s | accent doing a lot better and what I'm |
| 4067s | seeing is they're actually Target |
| 4069s | selecting a lot of the the top players |
| 4071s | who go in the Yang now normally you'd go |
| 4074s | after the the player who was lower hit |
| 4076s | points but when you spot someone with |
| 4078s | the actual buff you know that player has |
| 4080s | a ton of loot from winning Yang and if |
| 4083s | you're able to pick up that kill when he |
| 4085s | accidentally overextends where you saw |
| 4087s | spider over extend and you almost saw |
| 4090s | yeshuan overextend uh it's a really |
| 4094s | really smart play to go after this kill |
| 4096s | pick up the gold weapons pick up the |
| 4098s | good Jades off of them and take out the |
| 4100s | person snowballing the lobby once you |
| 4102s | chop off the the head honcho of the |
| 4105s | lobby now you can be the strongest |
| 4107s | player in the lobby and no one's going |
| 4108s | to want to fight you and if you're |
| 4110s | dictating the lobby having the best loot |
| 4113s | now you get the target select in end |
| 4115s | game uh right now as we're what we're |
| 4117s | leading into so that you're not the one |
| 4119s | getting focus a lot of Battle Royale is |
| 4122s | these small little tactics that allow |
| 4124s | you to not be the focus on the lobby |
| 4127s | because as long as you're not getting |
| 4129s | hit someone else is getting hit and |
| 4130s | that's how you get more points in these |
| 4132s | very very stacked end games uh a lot of |
| 4135s | the these players traditionally you |
| 4138s | would see a lot of like the big DPS |
| 4140s | characters like Takeda parka coming out |
| 4143s | but now you're seeing this different |
| 4145s | strategy this season where these these |
| 4148s | characters like zipping getting buffed |
| 4149s | and Feria being into the game where now |
| 4152s | you're seeing a defensive meta evolving |
| 4154s | where instead of being a really really |
| 4156s | great Dueler you're trying to drag it to |
| 4158s | this late game you're trying to drag |
| 4160s | people to the deep end where you can |
| 4162s | drown them with your Superior abilities |
| 4164s | while the Zone ends up ticking away |
| 4167s | these very very skilled players and |
| 4169s | you're rid of that's why you're seeing a |
| 4171s | ton of success from exit |
| 4173s | this week and Wang Lang this is like his |
| 4175s | Mo as a player he's not really a gang |
| 4177s | player he's not really known for his |
| 4179s | explosive style but he is known for just |
| 4182s | dominating when it counts getting into |
| 4184s | finals and racking up those points |
| 4186s | getting one or two kills is actually |
| 4188s | really really big in the league it is |
| 4191s | extremely hard to get a kill on the very |
| 4193s | best in the game like what you're seeing |
| 4196s | here in accent's movement their ability |
| 4198s | to just |
| 4199s | hold this space not taking risks keeping |
| 4202s | their head on a swivel making sure that |
| 4205s | someone isn't using some crazy Jade |
| 4208s | using cannons like you're seeing Mike |
| 4210s | here with a cannon poking you getting |
| 4212s | Death By A Thousand Cuts with a cannon |
| 4215s | trying to get you lobbied so he can jump |
| 4218s | in and seize that kill at the last |
| 4220s | second |
| 4221s | setting up for this end game Wang Lang |
| 4223s | on Feria this this is where he even |
| 4226s | though he doesn't have many kills Feria |
| 4229s | is the strongest character in this |
| 4231s | current meta at the end game the fact |
| 4233s | that she has this Mech a basically a |
| 4235s | second life that you cannot get her out |
| 4237s | of when that zone closes in and there's |
| 4239s | a tiny Circle usually you can just run |
| 4242s | away hide from the moving ballista but |
| 4244s | when she goes into turn form and you got |
| 4246s | nowhere to run it is free farm for |
| 4249s | barriers that's why you're seeing a lot |
| 4252s | of these players no shame in hiding in |
| 4254s | these bushes just because if you're on |
| 4257s | Takeda the second the zipping horde gets |
| 4260s | us a sign of shenua he cannot recover |
| 4263s | and get heals not like characters like |
| 4265s | Atari here and now you're seeing |
| 4267s | a lit a bit of blood in the water Mike |
| 4271s | testing probing for this weakness blue |
| 4274s | armor in end game is a big Target but |
| 4278s | Panda man on Justina getting poked |
| 4282s | just a little bit his armor stripped |
| 4285s | but he's able to find a cheeky position |
| 4287s | against this Haystack you're actually |
| 4289s | able to clip in and hide but Mike a |
| 4292s | veteran knows all the tricks all the |
| 4295s | little hiding spots ego finding kinnamon |
| 4297s | pushing him into the zone and getting |
| 4299s | the scalers to secure the kill |
| 4301s | abandonment not making it to end one of |
| 4305s | justina's weaknesses oh my goodness |
| 4307s | jails you go here really doing Panda Man |
| 4310s | Dirty here just comes around the back |
| 4312s | side of the building there knowing the |
| 4313s | abandonment's gonna be coming around and |
| 4314s | finding himself in a low position and |
| 4316s | unfortunately like you said one of the |
| 4317s | weaknesses there for Justina is that F |
| 4319s | ability into the end game when you're |
| 4321s | forced into the zone is a kind of a |
| 4324s | detriment to yourself because you want |
| 4326s | to sit there and hold that F2 uh on |
| 4328s | Justina so you can recover as much armor |
| 4330s | as a humanly possible but when you're |
| 4333s | inside the Zone especially these late uh |
| 4336s | zones in zones five all the way to seven |
| 4338s | you're just taking so much damage if |
| 4340s | you're HP is low you can't afford to do |
| 4343s | it you basically spend the ability to uh |
| 4346s | almost like a monk Bell right you use it |
| 4348s | just to get one hit off of you and then |
| 4350s | you're forced to cancel it because if |
| 4351s | you sit in the zone you're just gonna |
| 4352s | end up killing yourself even if you get |
| 4354s | the armor back you're gonna keep taking |
| 4355s | that HP damage Wang Liang here uh in a |
| 4358s | kind of terrible situation on the inside |
| 4361s | of this building and there's is no place |
| 4362s | to go he's got three different cannons |
| 4365s | taking shots on him if he's near the |
| 4366s | wall over by the hay bales we have Jin |
| 4368s | just taking shots through the wall we |
| 4370s | have another player throwing bow shots |
| 4372s | inside and then we have the bounce shell |
| 4374s | also bouncing around at all the perfect |
| 4376s | angles inside that building there really |
| 4378s | wasn't a place for Wang Lang to go he uh |
| 4380s | signed his death warrant just a little |
| 4382s | bit uh by finding himself walking inside |
| 4384s | that building there he looked to get |
| 4386s | away but too many players here with the |
| 4388s | ranged weapons and the Soul Jades to |
| 4390s | just keep the pressure onto wagley and |
| 4392s | keep him from doing anything xxy here |
| 4394s | finding himself like you said the target |
| 4396s | uh that blue armor looking |
| 4399s | extremely juicy to all these players |
| 4401s | here who are more than happy to just |
| 4403s | start blitzing onto people alliances gin |
| 4405s | forced to go Airborne here he's gonna |
| 4407s | try to get some shots off while he's top |
| 4409s | side but he's used both jumps he needs |
| 4412s | to now try to find some of these pots |
| 4413s | he's gonna find an armor pot here uh |
| 4415s | he's gonna find a health pot here and |
| 4416s | miraculously the rest of the lobby seems |
| 4419s | a little preoccupied with xxy and |
| 4422s | Alliance gin after taking the huge jump |
| 4425s | on the mech is not only going to find |
| 4426s | the full reset but starting to find some |
| 4428s | success in terms of damage turning |
| 4430s | around on to xxy xxy gonna be forced to |
| 4432s | burn their ultimate as well and that |
| 4435s | they're trying to not become a Target |
| 4437s | they want to do exactly what alliance's |
| 4439s | gin just did and Jin it now the one who |
| 4442s | ends up being the target xxy gonna be |
| 4444s | forced to take the armor stands here uh |
| 4446s | gets a shot off but unfortunately does |
| 4448s | not find uh the time and to get a reset |
| 4451s | in terms of pots here goes extremely low |
| 4453s | there's a ton of players here we're |
| 4455s | gonna see them go to the backside here |
| 4457s | just the tiniest bit of area but |
| 4460s | unfortunately it looks like they were |
| 4461s | taking Zone tick the whole time they |
| 4463s | were standing there so they're forced to |
| 4465s | burn through the health Bots we see Shen |
| 4466s | Yuan get forced into the Zone by AWS |
| 4468s | Mike neighbors Mike gonna eliminate |
| 4470s | shenuana from the lobby here but I am |
| 4473s | surprised that uh xxy still breathing |
| 4477s | after that encounter Jen bought him a |
| 4479s | little bit of time and then he went |
| 4480s | Airborne came back down was super low |
| 4483s | and unfortunately uh he just was able to |
| 4486s | find the back side of that building find |
| 4488s | the reset while the rest of the lobby |
| 4490s | started to get distracted by I do |
| 4491s | believe Jason's action who now finds |
| 4493s | himself quite low here and this is what |
| 4496s | we talk about all the time the sharking |
| 4497s | that takes place in these lobbies as |
| 4499s | soon as the lobby realizes the player is |
| 4501s | low that player loses the ground that |
| 4504s | they've been able to take for themselves |
| 4505s | the rest of the lobby smells the blood |
| 4508s | in the water and they descend to like |
| 4510s | sharks looking into Feast xxy there's no |
| 4513s | place for them to go right here the |
| 4515s | cannon shots ringing through on both |
| 4516s | sides of the bow shots come through as |
| 4518s | well the fire tick we see coming through |
| 4519s | as well xxy knows it's over they turn on |
| 4523s | to kla's Fang hoping to try to pick up |
| 4525s | at least one elimination before the end |
| 4527s | but it's not going to be enough as aow's |
| 4529s | Mike's able to flip the script on him |
| 4530s | jjh's Reign also going to pick up the |
| 4532s | elimination on to j-team's action with |
| 4534s | the bow we're down to your top four |
| 4535s | players a lady and gentlemen AOW is a |
| 4538s | mic versus the likes of ego Feng and uh |
| 4542s | I do believe the last remaining player |
| 4544s | over there is rain uh who's gonna come |
| 4547s | out on top at the moment aow's Mike with |
| 4549s | five eliminations under their belt we |
| 4551s | talk about this pretty often you were |
| 4552s | talking about an earlier Raven uh with |
| 4554s | how few kills really are happening here |
| 4558s | in terms of uh players in the pro league |
| 4560s | five kills typically being the average |
| 4562s | for the most kills in the lobby so aow's |
| 4565s | mic really doesn't need to take any of |
| 4567s | these fights right now as he already has |
| 4569s | five eliminations under his belt he just |
| 4571s | wants to take those as high as he can |
| 4573s | even if he can't pick up another |
| 4574s | elimination he just wants to get a much |
| 4577s | placement points as he can at this point |
| 4580s | yeah Mike is looking to survive here and |
| 4583s | get that fatty multiplier as far as |
| 4586s | placement points but he's going to get |
| 4587s | pushed out by the plague of zippings |
| 4589s | everywhere ego Fung |
| 4592s | trying to survive get that last win for |
| 4596s | the maximum amount of placement points |
| 4599s | Matari not going to win the heel off he |
| 4601s | he needs to make something happen but |
| 4604s | ego is playing at the edge of the Zone |
| 4606s | perfectly Fong ends up getting buried |
| 4608s | and puts in the zone but rain is able to |
| 4610s | pump get a huge step and gee a lot of |
| 4612s | his hit points fog now popping old it's |
| 4615s | coming down to that last new situation |
| 4616s | ego trying to get as much damage on the |
| 4620s | phone as possible but fog is able to |
| 4622s | pick up the bloom and get a massive heal |
| 4625s | while this Alters up and takes the win |
| 4628s | good job Fung this is what I mean by |
| 4632s | thong he's just he's just solid he's |
| 4634s | only solid like Wang Ling |
| 4637s | this is this is a new strategy I think |
| 4639s | we I see coming out a lot of these Pro |
| 4641s | players they're not looking to pop off |
| 4643s | during these zipping games these zipping |
| 4645s | games have started to just become |
| 4647s | consistency games for them whereas like |
| 4649s | as long as you can play you know zipping |
| 4652s | for a single game it's one less Euro you |
| 4655s | have to worry about as long as you can |
| 4657s | put some consistency points up on the |
| 4658s | board yes a 6.6 isn't a huge game for |
| 4662s | Fang considering that he takes first |
| 4664s | place here or sorry I think it'll be a |
| 4667s | five-point circuit so I think it's four |
| 4668s | points for first place in solos |
| 4670s | um isn't a huge game in terms of points |
| 4673s | but it's a huge games in terms of |
| 4675s | consistency it's one game where you can |
| 4678s | come in you can play zipping and go okay |
| 4681s | cool if I'm gonna have a semi-bad game |
| 4685s | at least I put points up on the board I |
| 4687s | can get this hero out from underneath of |
| 4689s | me it meets one of my hero requirements |
| 4692s | because in solos we have to play a |
| 4694s | different hero every single game we can |
| 4695s | only play the same hero twice a single |
| 4698s | time let's get the zipping game over |
| 4700s | with let's just put points on the board |
| 4702s | I don't have to go out and Hunt kills it |
| 4705s | doesn't have to be a good game because |
| 4707s | as long as the rest of my games are |
| 4708s | consistent and I have that one pop-off |
| 4710s | game that's all I need to put myself in |
| 4712s | that top five player range |
| 4716s | yeah exactly Fong his strategy and just |
| 4719s | like a lot of players when you start |
| 4721s | these tournaments it's six games so a |
| 4724s | lot of these players you you're kind of |
| 4726s | you're coming into this game's cold so |
| 4728s | Fawn chooses to a very defensive |
| 4730s | character where if he doesn't have a |
| 4732s | great game that's fine because zipping |
| 4734s | is able to get out of a ton of really |
| 4736s | really sticky situations same as Matari |
| 4738s | same as Feria so if you're not firing in |
| 4740s | all cylinders you're not having the best |
| 4742s | mechanical game |
| 4743s | these characters are going to cover |
| 4745s | these flaws so that when you warm up |
| 4747s | when you start heating up in the |
| 4749s | championship rounds round three round |
| 4750s | four clutching up for round five and six |
| 4753s | now you can bring out your very very |
| 4755s | mechanically heavy characters like Tarka |
| 4757s | Takeda |
| 4759s | uh valda all these characters that don't |
| 4762s | have a ton of defensive capabilities and |
| 4764s | don't have the second life but what they |
| 4766s | do have is crazy offense where if they |
| 4769s | hit you once you can just die for it and |
| 4772s | when you see that opportunity and you're |
| 4775s | in that flow of State you're going to be |
| 4776s | able to capitalize and take every single |
| 4778s | Advantage later on and |
| 4781s | what you're seeing is just a ton of |
| 4784s | really really really beautiful naraka |
| 4786s | evolving as the league goes on longer |
| 4789s | and longer and longer I just love to see |
| 4791s | a Room Keeper |
| 4792s | oh yeah you absolutely do as you take a |
| 4794s | look at the scoreboards for game number |
| 4795s | one here it's gonna be Jail's ego in the |
| 4797s | top with four eliminations and a second |
| 4800s | place finish is gonna buy him enough |
| 4801s | multiplier to get a 9.4 game score aow's |
| 4804s | Mike even though he goes out uh in |
| 4807s | fourth place is able uh to take second |
| 4810s | place overall with a nine a point game |
| 4812s | score because of the five eliminations |
| 4814s | under result J team's action who goes |
| 4817s | out uh even earlier than that do believe |
| 4819s | goes out in fifth place has three |
| 4820s | eliminations and because of that |
| 4822s | multiplier we'll be walking away with a |
| 4823s | 5.7 game score and Fang again who was |
| 4827s | our our winner of game number one comes |
| 4830s | out in first place uh the four ranking |
| 4832s | points gonna buy him a lot of space as |
| 4835s | he only gets 1.6 from the kill points |
| 4838s | jdg's chujang here this fight with wbg |
| 4840s | spider such a clean fight this is |
| 4842s | something we talked about with his |
| 4843s | nunchucks as well the tech Chase on |
| 4845s | those nunchucks being able to left-click |
| 4847s | into the tap Dodge right click it just |
| 4849s | you can chase down so many players |
| 4851s | doesn't even really matter if they're |
| 4853s | trying to run away on dagger and that's |
| 4854s | why we see those nunchucks being so |
| 4856s | popular here this was so clean for Mike |
| 4858s | as well where he's able to just come top |
| 4860s | side here go down into the jump Perry |
| 4863s | just cleans up onto T225 wbg spider here |
| 4866s | also uh has a really clean kill onto |
| 4869s | jdg's chujang here but unfortunately |
| 4870s | gets cleaned up immediately after that |
| 4872s | aow's Mike here again uh finding |
| 4875s | multiple eliminations in this final Zone |
| 4878s | here of these players who are sort of |
| 4880s | going low and you talked about that uh |
| 4882s | early in the day Mike kind of having |
| 4883s | that really good play style where he's |
| 4886s | able to come in for those uh third |
| 4887s | parties and just kind of snipe these |
| 4889s | kills away uh from other players he |
| 4892s | knows where to be in position he knows |
| 4894s | the amount of damage that he can do and |
| 4897s | he knows when hey this next thing that |
| 4899s | I'm going to do is exactly enough to |
| 4901s | pick up the elimination and you see that |
| 4903s | patience in him he'll slide in and wait |
| 4905s | to make things happen but we're gonna |
| 4907s | see you for our first time here ego |
| 4910s | picking up his first MVP of the spring |
| 4913s | season as he picks up four eliminations |
| 4915s | 11 |
| 4917s | 000 almost 12 000 damage five thousand |
| 4919s | of that damage coming through from the |
| 4920s | staff uh we talked about that as well |
| 4922s | staff kind of being one of those weapons |
| 4924s | a little more favored into being able to |
| 4926s | deal uh with the dagger Raven |
| 4929s | yeah ego running the strategy uh versus |
| 4932s | the veterans playing that defensive |
| 4934s | strategy not really having to have the |
| 4936s | craziest mechanics you can play zipping |
| 4938s | you can play third party situations able |
| 4941s | to just shark around finding weakness |
| 4944s | letting other people do the heavy |
| 4946s | lifting and finding his way to the top |
| 4948s | uh getting MVP on and nipping is just uh |
| 4951s | just goes to show you that anyone can |
| 4953s | win all these players are super super |
| 4955s | skilled and it's not just Mike and |
| 4958s | spider dominating the lobby even those |
| 4960s | players have weaknesses where if they |
| 4962s | overextend they can get picked off by |
| 4964s | anyone in the lobby and that's what you |
| 4966s | saw spider overextending near the money |
| 4968s | spot on decino dominating to choose them |
| 4971s | but then immediately getting third party |
| 4973s | same thing Mike on the other hand one of |
| 4976s | the only strong duelers surviving the |
| 4978s | end game what you saw from Mike he did |
| 4980s | say when he joined the league that his |
| 4981s | his spacing and his rhythm was off he |
| 4985s | felt like from playing rank so much |
| 4986s | where he was able to just roll all these |
| 4988s | different casual plays his rhythm was |
| 4991s | very different than what it's like to |
| 4992s | play in the pro league and now he's |
| 4993s | showing a lot more respect to these |
| 4995s | other top players not ever becoming the |
| 4997s | focus but when he sees opportunity he |
| 5000s | seizes it he uses his mechanics over all |
| 5002s | these other players his crazy blink out |
| 5004s | of line of sight Perry winning him that |
| 5007s | Yang fight it was super spicy that's one |
| 5009s | of the things that nunchucks has over |
| 5010s | every other weapon as unlike other |
| 5012s | weapons when you get a Parry you get the |
| 5015s | full damage it is a full one shot it's |
| 5017s | not a two-hit combo it's just a full one |
| 5020s | shot so playing against dagger when you |
| 5023s | get that Perry he takes away almost half |
| 5025s | of your complete Health that's why you |
| 5027s | see nunchucks use way more than a lot of |
| 5030s | other weapons off spawn just because |
| 5032s | when you get that pair you actually get |
| 5034s | rewarded off of it unlike the other |
| 5036s | weapons |
| 5037s | yeah it's a it's such a huge follow-up |
| 5040s | you like you were saying there's a lot |
| 5042s | of weapons like especially like the |
| 5043s | Greatsword as well like you get the |
| 5045s | repossess technically a one hit but to |
| 5047s | get that full damage you need to have |
| 5048s | that perfect timing where you're able to |
| 5050s | animation cancel it with the jump into |
| 5052s | the right click and it leaves you pretty |
| 5053s | vulnerable to other players and in solos |
| 5057s | you don't want to leave yourself |
| 5058s | vulnerable ever and you were talking |
| 5060s | about Mike uh his positional and how |
| 5062s | well he's able to read these sort of |
| 5064s | situations where he doesn't make himself |
| 5066s | the target but he's able to slide in and |
| 5069s | capitalize on the work that other |
| 5070s | players have put in we seem to do that |
| 5072s | twice in the very end Circle we see ego |
| 5074s | knock uh Shen yuan into uh the edge of |
| 5077s | the circle and it's like aow's mic comes |
| 5080s | out of nowhere he just slides in and he |
| 5082s | patiently holds the slash until |
| 5084s | shenuan's within kill range he lets the |
| 5086s | rest of the lobby put in the work he has |
| 5089s | the patience and the position he puts |
| 5091s | himself there and then patiently waits |
| 5094s | for the rest of the lobby put in the |
| 5095s | work so that he can clean up the |
| 5096s | elimination and then he slides out like |
| 5098s | he was never there we see him do it |
| 5100s | again later on to j-team's action who |
| 5102s | gets caught out in a bit of a sticky |
| 5104s | situation and he just slides up and you |
| 5106s | see him hold that blue he knows he's not |
| 5109s | going to be parried on that blue because |
| 5110s | all attention is on J team's action |
| 5112s | nobody's looking at him and he just |
| 5115s | waits till actions within kill range |
| 5117s | lets the vertical blue go on the long |
| 5119s | sword slash and of course with that |
| 5121s | legendary long sword he knows exactly |
| 5123s | how much damage he's gonna do he knows |
| 5125s | when somebody's in that kill range as |
| 5127s | soon as he connects he can immediately |
| 5129s | start to step away before the body even |
| 5132s | touches the ground because he knows he's |
| 5133s | already picked up the elimination he |
| 5136s | could know that with his eyes closed at |
| 5137s | that point and it's where aow's Mike has |
| 5140s | really been excelling lately is in that |
| 5142s | patience and that positional |
| 5146s | another thing to note from my stellar |
| 5149s | play is that most people think uh when |
| 5151s | you're when you're playing the rocket |
| 5152s | the only thing about character |
| 5153s | countering so Mike was using long sword |
| 5156s | in that end game and one of the benefits |
| 5157s | of using longsword is when you when you |
| 5160s | do your focus attacks it is it goes |
| 5162s | pretty much as far as the range attack |
| 5164s | and if you get parried at max range it |
| 5167s | doesn't drop your weapon and a lot of |
| 5168s | the time sometimes you don't even get |
| 5170s | hit by the two hit from someone's Parry |
| 5172s | punish so Mike being very very uh |
| 5175s | Innovative here using that long sword |
| 5178s | not only for its Rarity but probably for |
| 5180s | its range on montari that it's the |
| 5182s | perfect like hit and run weapon out of |
| 5185s | all the weapons that you can possibly |
| 5187s | use it is one of the best mobilities |
| 5190s | next to dagger using that lnb to skirt |
| 5193s | around with its huge lunging animation |
| 5196s | and using that long long beam to keep |
| 5200s | everyone at Bay also because of |
| 5202s | longsword's buff like most people don't |
| 5204s | realize is this but longsword hits as |
| 5206s | hard as great sword when you two charge |
| 5208s | it for most of naraka's existence |
| 5210s | longsword I'll only had a one charge now |
| 5214s | you can actually double hold long sword |
| 5216s | and when you actually know it's very |
| 5218s | safe like you were saying to release |
| 5220s | your focus attack you are super rewarded |
| 5223s | for it and in these end games where |
| 5225s | everyone |
| 5226s | has these huge Health pools from scaling |
| 5229s | up uh having a ginormous really really |
| 5233s | safe Focus attack is invaluable Mike is |
| 5237s | actually showing probably where the meta |
| 5239s | is gonna head during these end games |
| 5241s | where you have these hit and run |
| 5243s | strategies where you're able to space |
| 5245s | out kind of keep everyone at Bay be like |
| 5249s | hey hey are you cool we cool like look |
| 5252s | over there and you're just holding Blue |
| 5254s | over and over and it's like hey hey are |
| 5256s | you trying to Parry me hey baby let's |
| 5259s | get this guy over here let's just let's |
| 5260s | let's just bet it all on Blue on this |
| 5262s | guy over here and kind of just |
| 5263s | reposition put not being monkey in the |
| 5266s | middle be on the outside and throw these |
| 5269s | uh long sword beams from max range it's |
| 5271s | really really cool that he's doing this |
| 5273s | oh yeah absolutely and you know this is |
| 5274s | something we we've started to see in |
| 5276s | trios as well uh that's making its way |
| 5278s | over to solos is these players not only |
| 5280s | holding their ultimates but because |
| 5282s | obviously you don't want to expend your |
| 5283s | ultimate uh until you absolutely have to |
| 5285s | but players even finding themselves in |
| 5288s | really detrimental situations where |
| 5290s | they're super low like we caught Mike uh |
| 5293s | being super low and instead of old thing |
| 5296s | he decides to just go airborne and try |
| 5298s | to stay airborne because as soon as you |
| 5300s | pop that ultimate you actually make |
| 5301s | yourself a Target in these final circles |
| 5304s | and these players know that as soon as |
| 5306s | you're a Target in a final circle like |
| 5308s | that nobody's taking their attention off |
| 5311s | you it is do or die at that point so the |
| 5313s | longer you can keep yourself out of the |
| 5315s | Limelight the longer you're gonna say |
| 5317s | stay alive the longer you stay alive the |
| 5319s | more points you make the more |
| 5321s | opportunities you have to slide in and |
| 5323s | pick up eliminations as other players |
| 5326s | find themselves being the target of the |
| 5328s | lobby but we're going to take a look |
| 5329s | here at some of the hero selections |
| 5331s | coming through very interesting to see |
| 5332s | where you see Jay team's action bringing |
| 5334s | valda invalda uh slowly making her way |
| 5337s | into the competitive meta here a lot of |
| 5339s | people have a lot of things to say about |
| 5341s | that even myself included in the past |
| 5343s | we've seen a couple players almost kind |
| 5345s | of gag pick valda in uh and I've given a |
| 5348s | lot of players uh grief for taking that |
| 5351s | uh F1 valda a very good ability for |
| 5355s | extending into sort of these Touch of |
| 5357s | deaths on valda but what we've seen is |
| 5360s | to their detriment many players trying |
| 5362s | to throw it down like it's a yodohime F3 |
| 5364s | and by themselves space to Pop pots but |
| 5367s | in this pro league it just doesn't fly |
| 5369s | everybody knows that when you're in that |
| 5371s | bubble you're just completely vulnerable |
| 5373s | to rain shots unlike the yodohime F3 and |
| 5376s | these players can hot swap to a weapon |
| 5378s | in under half a second and immediately |
| 5381s | you're gonna find yourself deleted and |
| 5383s | you know you go from a bad situation to |
| 5385s | a word because you were trying to get a |
| 5387s | pot off while you're in the bubble and |
| 5389s | all of a sudden you you know three or |
| 5390s | four bow shots bring out two of them |
| 5392s | connect and now you're in a worse |
| 5394s | situation than you were before so we've |
| 5396s | seen some ball to start to come in and |
| 5398s | utilize that uh F3 and stop trying to |
| 5401s | use the Bubbles as protection uh except |
| 5404s | for when they find themselves locked |
| 5405s | down in a gold focus and need to escape |
| 5407s | and then are able to follow up onto some |
| 5410s | damage looks like we take a look at |
| 5411s | where these players are going to land as |
| 5413s | well we're gonna see quite a few players |
| 5415s | hot dropping straight into plume Castle |
| 5417s | a lot of players off to the east of |
| 5419s | plume Castle as well and these are the |
| 5421s | typical players I like to watch because |
| 5423s | they kind of set the tempo as we see |
| 5425s | these major fights break out in these |
| 5427s | high loot areas like bloomed Castle it's |
| 5429s | the players who spawn nearby who are |
| 5432s | able to freely go and pick up as much |
| 5435s | loot as they want and then find |
| 5436s | themselves these massive third-party |
| 5438s | fourth party opportunities onto these |
| 5440s | sort of fiestas that take place uh in |
| 5443s | these highly contested spawn areas Raven |
| 5446s | thank you |
| 5447s | yeah and what you're seeing here the the |
| 5450s | platform or grief platform as I like to |
| 5452s | say there's two ballistas around here |
| 5454s | and it's very very scary taking an |
| 5456s | offspawn fight there because if you're |
| 5457s | not on there a lot of time you just get |
| 5459s | an explosion to the back but here Fong |
| 5461s | actually picking up the fireflies here |
| 5464s | be able to pop alt off spawn and this is |
| 5466s | where Takeda is really really strong |
| 5468s | you're seeing Wang Lang also running the |
| 5470s | same strategy and unfortunately X and |
| 5474s | getting |
| 5476s | absolutely bodied by Fong the double |
| 5479s | Takeda Duo taking him down he was trying |
| 5482s | to compete for these fireflies but |
| 5484s | Takeda is just way stronger than valda |
| 5487s | when it comes to having that old matchup |
| 5489s | and now Wang Lang gonna get thrown down |
| 5492s | by the F3 Fong trying to secure this |
| 5497s | kill but this this pillar right here is |
| 5500s | extremely good for kiting Fong able to |
| 5504s | possibly break some angles create some |
| 5506s | space to get away from funk's pressure |
| 5508s | Wang Lang |
| 5510s | going changing levels going up going |
| 5513s | down trying to break the sound cue to |
| 5516s | get away from Fong Fong's already going |
| 5518s | the wrong direction but able to pick up |
| 5520s | where Wang Lang is trying to sneak away |
| 5522s | to Wang Ling now retreating into the |
| 5525s | town but using The Buttery rocks oh the |
| 5528s | Rocks getting stuck in a bunch of |
| 5530s | animations not able to get away fog has |
| 5532s | them at the ropes and Wang Ling trying |
| 5535s | to push him up for a little bit of space |
| 5537s | but on clink he gets taken down and fog |
| 5540s | winning his off spawn situation with two |
| 5543s | skills now spider actually picking |
| 5547s | Matari normally in the spawn on Hall |
| 5549s | routes he was one of the first players |
| 5551s | to pick Yoda now going against shenyon |
| 5553s | on the Yodo now Yodo not having a good |
| 5557s | matchup versus Matari and you're seeing |
| 5559s | it go down that F3 getting nerfed not |
| 5561s | having a ton of time to heal and now the |
| 5564s | staff one of the best weapons to chase |
| 5566s | him down and spider able to pick up the |
| 5568s | kill and Shen you want tossing him back |
| 5570s | to the lobbying with Yodo not being able |
| 5572s | to scale that value of that pick is |
| 5574s | going to be going down now we're back at |
| 5577s | the grief platform anyone can show up |
| 5579s | and pick up a beliefsa kill they're both |
| 5581s | at 1hp but Kai bounds able to pick up |
| 5585s | his health with a arm upon he greedily |
| 5588s | commits to it and is taken down by egos |
| 5590s | ghosts getting staggered repeatedly and |
| 5593s | now egos prize for all of this checking |
| 5596s | that coveted chest to pick up some gold |
| 5599s | weapons leading into end game having a |
| 5602s | gold weapon onto Keda getting shoves |
| 5605s | with that goes is going to give you |
| 5606s | chunky chunky Focus attacks now we're |
| 5610s | going to metab |
| 5612s | if you would think that playing in metab |
| 5615s | you would have a ton of Mobility uh |
| 5618s | options but because of these really |
| 5620s | really flat walls and all of these |
| 5622s | little areas you actually get caught on |
| 5625s | everything here and this is something |
| 5626s | about holograph that's very different |
| 5627s | from Morris even though it the map feels |
| 5630s | very very big what you end up seeing is |
| 5632s | a lot less people getting the end game |
| 5634s | just because a lot of the places that |
| 5636s | you end up trying to run away from uh |
| 5638s | you're not able to get away from your |
| 5640s | opponent it's really easy to track |
| 5642s | people down on Hall Roth that's why you |
| 5644s | see |
| 5645s | these very very defensive characters |
| 5647s | like Yodo and Matari coming out they're |
| 5649s | trying to get the end game they're |
| 5651s | trying to use it to Reign to their |
| 5653s | advantage to try to get at least bare |
| 5655s | minimum some placement points and this |
| 5658s | at plume Castle this is the home of the |
| 5663s | runners anyone who has good mechanics as |
| 5666s | far as running this is their home you've |
| 5669s | seen matari's shaking and baking all |
| 5672s | around all these different Corners using |
| 5673s | her blink to get second lives |
| 5676s | but this is one of the interesting |
| 5677s | matchups after this season with matari's |
| 5680s | change to Cato versus matar where do you |
| 5682s | think that that falls and who do you |
| 5684s | think is favored in that matchup |
| 5685s | RunKeeper I mean realistically I I think |
| 5688s | uh that Decatur is going to be favorite |
| 5690s | of that matchup right one of the few |
| 5693s | characters that as long as he's already |
| 5694s | popped his old into the fight that is |
| 5696s | actually able to sort of escape the the |
| 5699s | follow-up Matari backstab because Matari |
| 5701s | will be able to teleport onto him and |
| 5703s | get the backstab in but then the ability |
| 5705s | to extend the combo sort of Stripped |
| 5708s | Away from you is decade is just able to |
| 5709s | press the F in your general direction uh |
| 5712s | and it makes those teleports lose so |
| 5715s | much value uh for Matari but it really |
| 5718s | does come down to whether or not Takeda |
| 5720s | has already popped to that ultimate it's |
| 5722s | very similar to the Viper matchup in |
| 5724s | that aspect right if you're on Takeda |
| 5727s | and you find yourself getting stunned |
| 5729s | out by Viper and you've already got uh |
| 5732s | the ultimate popped you're pretty safe |
| 5734s | because any follow-up that's going to |
| 5735s | come onto you while you're stunned |
| 5737s | you're actually still able to throw that |
| 5739s | ultimate out and shove people away from |
| 5741s | you and buy yourself that space so it |
| 5744s | sort of shuts down the Viper ultimate |
| 5745s | very similar case in my opinion with |
| 5748s | Matari as well is Matari is really |
| 5750s | looking to play aggressively especially |
| 5752s | into early to mid game right Matari is |
| 5754s | that hero that yes wants to survive to |
| 5756s | late game but you can really Excel as a |
| 5759s | Matari player and most of the MVPs we've |
| 5761s | ever seen on Matari are people who go |
| 5763s | out aggressively in the early game and |
| 5766s | the early mid game and take fights and |
| 5769s | to use that sort of double teleport |
| 5771s | right where you're able to grab those |
| 5773s | backstabs extend Combos and just lock |
| 5775s | one person down she excels at doing that |
| 5779s | she excels at being able to keep players |
| 5781s | from kind of kiting you around into the |
| 5784s | potential third parties and Matari also |
| 5786s | very very great as soon as she's able to |
| 5788s | finish up a fight if she's able to do it |
| 5790s | without the threat of a third party |
| 5792s | because she does it so fast she can just |
| 5794s | go find a place to hang out until the |
| 5795s | ultimate comes back up and then find |
| 5797s | herself into the late game with three or |
| 5799s | four kills under her belt and then she's |
| 5801s | just sitting really pretty very similar |
| 5802s | to what we saw Mike do last game right |
| 5804s | Mike comes in for a lot of third party |
| 5806s | parties cleans up these eliminations and |
| 5808s | then just backs out goes away from the |
| 5811s | fight and once he gets to that mid to |
| 5813s | late game we see Mike start fighting a |
| 5816s | whole lot less because he's just now |
| 5818s | trying to make the most of the points |
| 5820s | that he's already accrued for himself |
| 5821s | speaking of points being accrued from |
| 5823s | himself we're going to see Mike |
| 5824s | immediately go for the realm of Yang Jay |
| 5826s | James action and wolves kaibao going to |
| 5828s | miss the opportunity to go in and kaibal |
| 5829s | literally uh just getting blitzed around |
| 5831s | here by accident is actually catches |
| 5833s | multiple free initiations off the blues |
| 5836s | uh into this fight here is going to |
| 5838s | continue to pressure on to wolves wolves |
| 5840s | looking for the opportunity to catch |
| 5842s | that charge left click on the dagger try |
| 5843s | to take control of the fight but |
| 5845s | struggling with their mechanics into the |
| 5847s | katana here there we go we're going to |
| 5849s | see that backstab the terrain actually |
| 5850s | uh going to cuck wolves kaibal just a |
| 5854s | little bit here as he's not able to get |
| 5856s | the follow-up that he was looking for |
| 5857s | because the terrain uh kind of goofed |
| 5860s | his footing up he will be able to find a |
| 5862s | reset here as Jay team's action misses |
| 5863s | the ultimate though he does not find the |
| 5866s | secondary backstab he was looking for |
| 5868s | here because it looks like his old runs |
| 5870s | out just before he's able to get in and |
| 5872s | pop that off but with the full reset |
| 5874s | here wool skybell might find himself uh |
| 5877s | in the winning Situation off the back of |
| 5878s | the very on to action action able to |
| 5880s | cancel out of it though using that F3 |
| 5882s | beautifully here on the Volta to get |
| 5885s | away from the repercussions from the |
| 5886s | dagger uh keeping themselves alive |
| 5888s | they're gonna see that Katana strike |
| 5890s | come out actually connects it onto |
| 5892s | wolves guy about gonna be the vertical |
| 5894s | charge there from action and just barely |
| 5896s | catching the head on Wolf Sky about aoow |
| 5897s | Mike here we go we just talked about |
| 5899s | this this is exactly what Mike does he |
| 5901s | finds his beautiful third-party fourth |
| 5903s | party opportunity slides in picks up the |
| 5905s | elimination takes all of your hard work |
| 5907s | and turns around himself able to even |
| 5910s | after stepping into the bubble find the |
| 5912s | Perry back on to j-team's action and |
| 5914s | it's gonna pick up double eliminations |
| 5916s | what a huge play coming out from aow's |
| 5919s | Mike |
| 5920s | Mike one of my favorite players to study |
| 5923s | unlike most players in pro league the |
| 5926s | average Perry for most of these solo |
| 5928s | players is actually less than one |
| 5930s | there's only three or four players who |
| 5931s | have an average of one pair a game and |
| 5933s | it's because these players are so tricky |
| 5936s | with their attacks that it's very rare |
| 5938s | for you actually to predict when they're |
| 5940s | going to throw a focus attack now Mike |
| 5942s | uh one of the best duelers in the game |
| 5944s | actually takes a line that most players |
| 5946s | are not really doing Mike is always |
| 5949s | ready to deny the one charge Focus |
| 5951s | attack just because most players want to |
| 5953s | play safe want to just hold blue in |
| 5955s | front of your face Armor All potential |
| 5957s | lights |
| 5958s | and so the naturally the first thought |
| 5961s | is like all right well I can just run up |
| 5963s | and hit you for the the first |
| 5964s | interaction I can just come up Focus |
| 5966s | attack you but Mike completely denies |
| 5968s | that line where most of the players are |
| 5970s | looking for that Focus attack while Mike |
| 5971s | bets it all on red every single fight |
| 5974s | you're seeing him run up get these |
| 5976s | ginormous parries on these players as |
| 5978s | he's picking down two two five this is |
| 5980s | why I think Yodo is not really good in |
| 5981s | the meta right now she just cannot |
| 5983s | survive with zipping Faria all these |
| 5986s | characters that can push her out of her |
| 5987s | F3 he does have the buff though did it |
| 5990s | run out though |
| 5992s | he ends up getting tagged by Wang Ling |
| 5994s | everyone is jumping into this absolute |
| 5996s | dog pile Wang Ling gets out of there |
| 5999s | just explosions going around all around |
| 6000s | him able to push spider off of him |
| 6002s | spider trying to cast his web to pick up |
| 6005s | some kills everyone rotating around this |
| 6008s | giant wall this Wall of Death fog |
| 6011s | getting stuck on all these little Cliff |
| 6013s | parts and Wang Ling able to break |
| 6015s | contact from everyone now Mike has a |
| 6018s | minute and 20 seconds on this buff he's |
| 6020s | willing to push the envelope he doesn't |
| 6022s | care he's throwing out long swore beans |
| 6025s | that gold long sword doing a ton of work |
| 6027s | he's not even bothering trying to stop |
| 6029s | and heal he's just looking for the last |
| 6031s | hit |
| 6032s | now it as his buff to starts weighing |
| 6036s | down one minute left he can get this is |
| 6038s | where our last experienced player May |
| 6040s | tunnel vision and not realize that his |
| 6042s | buff is running out as as I said this |
| 6044s | fog now with the enough space ends up |
| 6047s | salvaging uh purple armor he did have |
| 6049s | blue armor before now most even when |
| 6052s | they see these engagements they're |
| 6053s | looking for the kill but a win and these |
| 6056s | Pro players books is also making sure to |
| 6059s | Alpha of body and get all of the loot |
| 6062s | off of this now when in the Mortal War |
| 6063s | you don't get as much loot so every body |
| 6065s | is super valuable getting those |
| 6067s | refreshes getting those sold ones and |
| 6069s | get back your ultimate and get the heals |
| 6073s | necessary to transition from mid game to |
| 6075s | end game Mike has 11 seconds on this |
| 6078s | buff he wants to die here will ego have |
| 6079s | the presence of Mind did not kill him |
| 6081s | Mike is really really pushing it he's |
| 6083s | threatening the needle if he doesn't die |
| 6085s | here he may end up dying and being sent |
| 6088s | to the lobby oh with five seconds left |
| 6090s | he manages to tactically get his fun |
| 6093s | really smart play my mic |
| 6095s | yeah this is huge by aows Mike 14 |
| 6098s | seconds left on that ego had to make the |
| 6101s | decision whether he was going to pick up |
| 6102s | the elimination or not as soon as the |
| 6104s | second player shows up Mike finds |
| 6106s | himself in a really secure situation to |
| 6108s | try to go ahead and just use that buff |
| 6111s | get himself dead we see him tap dodging |
| 6114s | into attacks even he knows that yes he |
| 6117s | has the ultimate and that's going to buy |
| 6118s | him a little bit of safety but what's |
| 6120s | more safe than that is being able to |
| 6122s | just maneuver across the map and can |
| 6123s | entirely respawn somewhere else for free |
| 6125s | he he went through the trouble of |
| 6128s | getting that buff he might as well use |
| 6129s | that buff and that's what we see him do |
| 6132s | there I love it because as soon as the |
| 6134s | second party comes in he knows that uh |
| 6137s | the other player there has no choice but |
| 6139s | to try to secure the Kill from away from |
| 6141s | him or he's just giving up free points |
| 6143s | at that point Mike just keeps forcing |
| 6145s | himself in his face finally says all |
| 6147s | right fine I'll kill you Mike go ahead |
| 6149s | take your little respawn I'll take the |
| 6151s | points Mike played that very very well |
| 6153s | huge presence of mine and again Mike let |
| 6155s | me he said we're watching the replay of |
| 6157s | his realm of Yang there and Bets it all |
| 6159s | on red all the time we see him jump |
| 6161s | Perry so often as a player such a huge |
| 6166s | huge part of his toolkit |
| 6168s | and this is something you and me were |
| 6170s | talking about uh during the break the |
| 6172s | different types of parries and why we |
| 6174s | see so many jump parries versus Crouch |
| 6178s | Perry's or other sorts of parries inside |
| 6180s | the nbpl is the larger hitbox that that |
| 6183s | jump Perry actually provides because |
| 6185s | when you're jumping the hitbox from the |
| 6188s | Perry actually extends below your player |
| 6190s | model so when you're jumping that |
| 6192s | extended area is visible because it's |
| 6195s | outside of the ground buying you even |
| 6197s | more safety in being able uh to connect |
| 6200s | those parries and that's why we see so |
| 6203s | many players trying to utilize those |
| 6205s | here in the nbpl Shen you on here |
| 6207s | engaged in a fight with uh seven or |
| 6209s | sorry with jails ego and ego trying to |
| 6212s | use that ultimate to buy himself some |
| 6214s | space here but genuine playing this very |
| 6216s | very smart he's keeping the pressure |
| 6218s | onto ego without ever putting himself in |
| 6220s | a situation where he has to eat that |
| 6222s | ultimate and then the follow-up see he's |
| 6224s | gonna eat the ultimate but he's not |
| 6225s | close enough for ego to follow up so ego |
| 6227s | doesn't get uh any sort of Advantage out |
| 6230s | of it except time and now the genuine |
| 6233s | realizes ego doesn't have the ultimate |
| 6234s | he can just come in full commit to this |
| 6236s | he sees the opportunity to go for the |
| 6238s | grapple extension we'll take it goes |
| 6240s | into the F3 ego forced to use the F just |
| 6242s | to get out of it and shenyon still has |
| 6244s | ultimate here if he can continue to keep |
| 6246s | the pressure onto ego ego is going to |
| 6249s | find himself eating at least one of |
| 6250s | these slashes from the Yoda ultimate and |
| 6252s | Shen Yuan though has shrimped so much |
| 6254s | damage and armor off of ego he's trying |
| 6256s | not to force the usage of the ultimate |
| 6259s | he's looking for a good opportunity just |
| 6260s | to clean up this elimination and keep |
| 6262s | the ultimate in case of third parties |
| 6264s | coming through but he's let ego get two |
| 6268s | full resets now and Shen yuwon has got |
| 6270s | to know that ego's ultimate is starting |
| 6272s | to build up and the longer he commits to |
| 6275s | this fight without picking up the |
| 6276s | elimination the greater the threat of |
| 6279s | that third party is gonna come in so the |
| 6281s | question for Shen yuan is do I go ahead |
| 6283s | and burn the ultimate or have I |
| 6284s | committed to this fight for too long |
| 6286s | that if I burn it now I'm just gonna |
| 6288s | find myself dying to third party and |
| 6290s | Chen Yuan still just has the blinders on |
| 6293s | continues to commit to this fight and |
| 6295s | like we said the potential third party |
| 6297s | waiting the wings alliance's gin nearby |
| 6299s | if jyn has seen either of these two |
| 6301s | players he's just going to be waiting |
| 6303s | for one of them to get low before he |
| 6305s | pressures into it genuine in the F3 |
| 6308s | there trying to buy a little bit of |
| 6309s | space for themselves as ego uses their |
| 6312s | own F to grief them out of the F3 keeps |
| 6314s | them from getting the pot keeps them |
| 6316s | from getting a reset here we go T225 |
| 6317s | going to come in here's the third party |
| 6319s | this is the danger of holding that |
| 6322s | ultimate uh in trying to bait out the |
| 6324s | you know uh kill without using that |
| 6327s | resource trying to protect yourself from |
| 6329s | the third party the longer you make that |
| 6331s | fight take because you're unwilling to |
| 6333s | spend that resource unwilling to spend |
| 6335s | that ability the bigger the risk of |
| 6338s | third party is and genuine basically |
| 6339s | just almost forced completely out of |
| 6342s | this fight now because the third parties |
| 6344s | come through he's committed almost two |
| 6346s | full minutes of this game to this hunt |
| 6348s | on to Ego and he hasn't been able to |
| 6351s | find any sort of positive ground into |
| 6354s | the fight whatsoever Raven |
| 6356s | that's very very insightful of just how |
| 6359s | Shenron misplace a misplayed that whole |
| 6362s | situation he had ego against the ropes |
| 6364s | and this is something that I talked to |
| 6366s | tryhard about about why why are people |
| 6368s | even playing Yodo and and even with |
| 6372s | takeda's alt down and that pressure and |
| 6374s | with the old advantage |
| 6376s | all right shenuan still was super super |
| 6379s | hesitant and it's just that value off |
| 6381s | yodel and the threat of Takeda F3 that |
| 6386s | whole time while he was chasing uh ego |
| 6388s | he's just waiting trying to Goat out |
| 6390s | that F3 because when Takeda uses that uh |
| 6394s | grab of his he's not able to interrupt |
| 6396s | yodo's strength yodo's strength is to be |
| 6399s | able to reset or use her f3s in an |
| 6402s | offensive situation putting it down |
| 6404s | creating tons of pressure by this the |
| 6406s | spinning F3 creating a ton of |
| 6409s | opportunity to land a focus attack to go |
| 6412s | for very very risky parries that after |
| 6414s | he guards you from everything but if |
| 6415s | Takeda has his F3 up you cannot go for |
| 6418s | that play a lot of your kit is just |
| 6421s | denied but where Yoda really really |
| 6422s | shines and this is something that 225 |
| 6424s | has made work is if Yodo gets the end |
| 6427s | game Wang Wang was the pioneer of that |
| 6430s | tragedy he was the goat of Yodo end game |
| 6432s | getting tons of kills using that all to |
| 6434s | get the last hit but now fong in one of |
| 6437s | the worst positions for Takeda the |
| 6440s | multi-way fight but the good thing about |
| 6442s | Takeda in these big fights over Tarka |
| 6444s | and every other bursting character is |
| 6446s | he's able to maintain his alt he when he |
| 6449s | cancels his old he keeps a ton of that |
| 6451s | energy for another fight so even though |
| 6454s | he pops out there to stay alive to kind |
| 6456s | of shove everyone back and be like hey |
| 6457s | hey hey this is not a free kill if you |
| 6460s | come after me I'm willing to all in you |
| 6462s | uh he's able to cancel it later bluffing |
| 6465s | the all in actually and now as you're |
| 6467s | seeing he's at 91 percent old he's about |
| 6469s | to have his alt back up he's about to be |
| 6471s | super safe and he gets this his free |
| 6474s | button that just gets everyone off and |
| 6476s | no one wants to be the one receiving the |
| 6478s | ghosts from a dagger Fong |
| 6483s | circling around mike always lurking with |
| 6486s | that gold long sword I'm I'm really |
| 6489s | liking that Mike is using uh all the |
| 6492s | different weapons to their best |
| 6494s | capabilities a lot of the time people |
| 6496s | get stuck in the meta and they feel like |
| 6498s | it's very stale but it's because they're |
| 6500s | not innovating you're seeing for even on |
| 6502s | the biggest stage Mike all these top |
| 6504s | players using multiple weapons depending |
| 6507s | on the situation now you're seeing him |
| 6508s | with the dagger the tried and true meta |
| 6511s | but this is just something that he's |
| 6513s | using for now but when you go into Yang |
| 6515s | 225 having that staff out versus thongs |
| 6519s | dagger Takeda staff being one of the |
| 6522s | best matchups you can possibly get verse |
| 6524s | dagger that weapon swap off staff is |
| 6527s | just so powerful you grab that staff you |
| 6529s | get that stagger and you send them |
| 6531s | flying into a pole store he's looking |
| 6533s | for it this whole time able to get that |
| 6535s | one charge way better than Spear and |
| 6537s | he's able to launch him and get the huge |
| 6539s | combo just a massive amount of damage |
| 6541s | and Fong on his strong dueling character |
| 6544s | gets taken down by something you can do |
| 6546s | on every single character |
| 6548s | it's just amazing what these players are |
| 6550s | able to do roomkeeper oh yeah absolutely |
| 6553s | enemy you know this has been a little |
| 6555s | addition to the meta uh coming into the |
| 6557s | spring split here for the new nbpl |
| 6559s | season is we've seen that weapon swap |
| 6562s | start to come through and it's it's kind |
| 6563s | of interesting right this was something |
| 6565s | that um was actually pioneered in the N |
| 6568s | A meta a long time ago we saw weapon |
| 6571s | swaps into these big pull sword |
| 6572s | greatswords to just do massive tons of |
| 6575s | damage once you're able to land the hit |
| 6576s | confirm uh with something much smaller |
| 6579s | like uh the staff or the dagger right |
| 6581s | now we see it coming into the CN meta |
| 6584s | just because you're able to secure so |
| 6585s | much guaranteed damage |
| 6587s | with a very well-timed hot Swap and for |
| 6590s | players like this right whose mechanics |
| 6592s | are so strong it's very very easy to |
| 6595s | make sure you don't mess that up right |
| 6597s | if you're if you're sort of a casual |
| 6598s | player or somebody who has weaker |
| 6601s | mechanics that hot swap might trip you |
| 6603s | up into the middle of a combo but for |
| 6605s | players like this it's just it's not |
| 6607s | something you're going to see them you |
| 6609s | know dropping right they might |
| 6610s | occasionally drop something like a torca |
| 6613s | infinite but a hot swap into another |
| 6615s | weapon no you're never gonna see the |
| 6617s | mistime that and not have that sort of |
| 6620s | core mechanic come through speaking of |
| 6622s | mechanics here we're actually going to |
| 6623s | see aow's might going head to head here |
| 6625s | with wbg spider two of these sort of uh |
| 6627s | All or Nothing players is I like to call |
| 6630s | spider aow's Mike the original player |
| 6633s | sort of pioneering that play style and |
| 6636s | you know I talk about this all the time |
| 6637s | with spider |
| 6638s | um spider when he came into the second |
| 6640s | season of nbpl last year one of the |
| 6642s | reasons he was so dominant was he was |
| 6644s | able to force the rest of the lobby to |
| 6647s | play at his Tempo to play at this sort |
| 6651s | of do or die kind of play style where |
| 6654s | he's just gonna continue to stick to you |
| 6657s | like uh hot glue and uh continue to |
| 6660s | pressure you and force you to either win |
| 6662s | the fight or die |
| 6664s | um since then so many of these players |
| 6666s | have been able to adapt to that very |
| 6667s | similar play style uh aow's Mike coming |
| 6670s | back has kind of slowed spiders momentum |
| 6673s | down pretty drastically because he was |
| 6675s | one of the players uh before he took his |
| 6678s | six-month Hiatus that was just able to |
| 6680s | keep that level of pressure going in a |
| 6682s | Lobby and now that the lobbies have |
| 6685s | adjusted to that playstyle coming out |
| 6688s | from spider and then of course Mike |
| 6689s | coming back who also uh one of the |
| 6692s | pioneers of that play style it kind of |
| 6695s | has slowed that strategy down |
| 6697s | significantly for both of these players |
| 6700s | as they see them take this more |
| 6702s | defensive play style because the lobby |
| 6705s | doesn't care about playing at that tempo |
| 6707s | anymore they've just gotten so used to |
| 6709s | it and it's it comes back to that micro |
| 6711s | meta we talk about seeing all the time |
| 6713s | right these players are you play so many |
| 6716s | games against each other when they're |
| 6718s | not here playing in the nbpl they're |
| 6721s | screaming against each other right or |
| 6723s | they're going and playing in ranked and |
| 6725s | they're going to be running into each |
| 6726s | other in ranked so these little |
| 6728s | microcosms sort of appear in terms of |
| 6732s | that sort of tempo and these players |
| 6734s | figure out how to play against things |
| 6736s | and that's why we see these meta shift |
| 6739s | from week to week is because they're |
| 6741s | constantly in a vacuum playing against |
| 6744s | one another so they have to come up with |
| 6746s | the next thing and you'll see that come |
| 6749s | through a lot for these players the |
| 6750s | players that are sort of pioneering that |
| 6752s | next new thing are the ones that |
| 6754s | typically end up doing well during the |
| 6756s | week and we're seeing that right now |
| 6758s | with aow's mic right this sort of uh hit |
| 6761s | and run play style that he has where |
| 6762s | he's just like okay early to mid game |
| 6764s | I'm gonna look for these third to Fourth |
| 6766s | party opportunities or I'm just gonna |
| 6768s | look to hyper commit to a fight pick up |
| 6771s | an elimination and then back off and |
| 6773s | rest for a long while till I have the |
| 6774s | ultimate so that I can safely either go |
| 6777s | commit to another fight or slip into |
| 6779s | another fight and pick up that |
| 6781s | elimination and get out and because Mike |
| 6784s | seems to be towards the top of the order |
| 6786s | of pioneering uh that sort of play style |
| 6789s | right now we see him starting to Excel |
| 6791s | and climb to the top of the leaderboard |
| 6793s | and I mean if you look at it right now |
| 6795s | he's sitting with a 56.4 over J team's |
| 6798s | action who's got a |
| 6800s | 51.3 and I mean again it's whoever's |
| 6804s | coming in and pioneering the next new |
| 6806s | thing that typically starts to do well |
| 6808s | in these Meadows Raven |
| 6811s | yeah exactly looking at this what I was |
| 6814s | saying earlier that Hollow Roth is this |
| 6816s | huge map and traditionally The Meta was |
| 6819s | ah let's play zipping let's just get |
| 6821s | away it's a lot of flat areas use the |
| 6823s | shield to like deny grapple stagger it |
| 6825s | feels really really fluid unzipping to |
| 6827s | get around but now what you're seeing is |
| 6829s | this Yodo meta going into these end |
| 6832s | games and what's something something |
| 6834s | that's interesting on this map is all of |
| 6836s | these buttery rocks this type of terrain |
| 6838s | is super prevalent all around holleroth |
| 6840s | and a character that is able to hold |
| 6843s | these these little Ledges is actually |
| 6846s | Yodo and because Yoda alt is so good |
| 6850s | when the circle finally closes it heals |
| 6852s | you a little bit it does a ton of damage |
| 6854s | all you have to do is find a piece of |
| 6857s | real estate in this end game and just |
| 6859s | hold the line you're just trying to hold |
| 6861s | the line not trying to take a chunky bow |
| 6863s | shot to the back of the head not try to |
| 6865s | eat a big pair you're just trying to |
| 6867s | armor through all these really really |
| 6870s | Kiki flanks that you're seeing these |
| 6872s | mataris and zippings trying to probe for |
| 6874s | weakness and I really I see two two five |
| 6876s | coming out on top here if no one |
| 6878s | pressures him uh see anytime you see a |
| 6881s | Yoda in these end games you see a ton of |
| 6883s | really really good options uh Target |
| 6885s | selection from these Chinese players |
| 6887s | it's something they have really really |
| 6890s | disciplined down because you want to |
| 6891s | take out your biggest competition you |
| 6894s | want to get the most points you want to |
| 6896s | slow down Mike you want to slow down two |
| 6898s | two five and what you're seeing here is |
| 6900s | a lot of players are challenging the |
| 6901s | throne they realize that these top |
| 6903s | players they're mortal they bleed just |
| 6906s | like the rest of us and as long as you |
| 6909s | blank them they don't have eyes on the |
| 6911s | back of their head it might look like it |
| 6913s | with Mike Laney crazy jump parries uh |
| 6915s | with spider just having this |
| 6917s | impenetrable wall of neutral in front of |
| 6919s | you but all of them bleed and with 225 |
| 6922s | finding his his position at the lobby is |
| 6924s | realizing wait a second a Yoda was alive |
| 6926s | we got to get him out of here we gotta |
| 6929s | stop you're seeing cannon shots being |
| 6930s | peppered on the 225 all the radius but |
| 6933s | 225 finding a sliver of a home to Camp |
| 6937s | inside of this is something I saw demo |
| 6939s | do on his debut found a sliver where no |
| 6942s | one else could challenge him on Tarka |
| 6944s | but cannons end up poking through the |
| 6946s | wall 225's tricky position might not pan |
| 6950s | out for him gin with the flame breath |
| 6952s | Cannon absolutely grieving his game it |
| 6955s | was looking so good so smart and big |
| 6958s | brain by 225 but he ends up getting |
| 6960s | outplayed by gin's choice of carrying a |
| 6963s | cannon into end game now we're seeing |
| 6965s | spider knowing that 225 had that gold |
| 6967s | armor he's wondering if he could sneak |
| 6969s | in there and pick up that gold armor |
| 6971s | pick up that bloom unfortunately gin |
| 6974s | denying that play knowing that if spider |
| 6976s | gets its Advantage he will have a worse |
| 6979s | chance of solidifying this game now this |
| 6982s | is something the old Matari Meadow where |
| 6984s | you can blink into the sky and |
| 6986s | constantly stall using grapples over and |
| 6989s | over and over denying the focus fire |
| 6991s | Mike finding a nice little platform |
| 6993s | staying safe but this flame breath ends |
| 6997s | up being the decider in these end games |
| 6999s | it just keeps chipping away at your |
| 7002s | health it does so much damage that flame |
| 7005s | breath is one of those meta Jades that |
| 7006s | is slept on |
| 7008s | with Mike and finally try going to the |
| 7011s | dead center holding the center not not |
| 7014s | waiting for this heal off taking it to |
| 7015s | the rest of everyone poking everyone |
| 7017s | down trying to chip their health down so |
| 7020s | he has the white Health Advantage going |
| 7022s | into this end game he pops his heel off |
| 7024s | a little bit early making sure he's |
| 7026s | topped off but spider staying at the top |
| 7028s | trying to stay in the zone for as long |
| 7029s | as possible but that flame breath is |
| 7031s | chipping everyone down Mike throwing out |
| 7033s | the blues buzzing it all on Blue trying |
| 7036s | to survive getting the last hits but |
| 7039s | ends up getting hefted by Jin Jin using |
| 7042s | this Jades to his pure Advantage ended |
| 7044s | up taking the win over everyone a rare |
| 7047s | win from Atari versus all the zippings |
| 7050s | in Yodo being the lobby really really |
| 7052s | well played by Jin |
| 7054s | oh man what a what a great final Circle |
| 7057s | here you talked about the target |
| 7059s | acquisition of course Mike gonna be |
| 7060s | walking away the MVP here he had so many |
| 7062s | eliminations going with this final |
| 7063s | Circle I don't think there was any |
| 7064s | question of it and then he's just able |
| 7066s | to pick up more you talk about the flame |
| 7067s | breath too you talk about it's a kind of |
| 7070s | sort of slept on Soul Jade in these sort |
| 7072s | of final circles flame breath is so big |
| 7075s | if you notice he takes the risk Point |
| 7078s | Blank |
| 7079s | to hot swap to the cannon in the face of |
| 7082s | every other player left in this Lobby so |
| 7084s | he can get one good Cannon shot off onto |
| 7087s | all of them that flame tick every single |
| 7089s | time the tick comes through it puts him |
| 7092s | as the last player who's done damage so |
| 7095s | if somebody gets forced into the Zone by |
| 7098s | another player and then the flame tick |
| 7100s | ticks before the Zone tick ticks in and |
| 7103s | kills them it's not the player who |
| 7105s | forces them in the zone who actually |
| 7106s | picks up the elimination it's aow's |
| 7109s | might who will get the elimination those |
| 7112s | ticks making sure that you're almost |
| 7115s | always the final source of damage onto a |
| 7118s | player before the kill comes through |
| 7119s | from The Zone tick in the very end is |
| 7122s | why that Soul Jade is so good in a final |
| 7125s | circle like this because you can find |
| 7126s | yourself securing multiple eliminations |
| 7128s | and we see that happen aw's Mike gets |
| 7130s | two eliminations there one of which he |
| 7132s | doesn't touch after the cannon goes |
| 7134s | through he's forced into a situation |
| 7136s | where he ends up getting himself |
| 7138s | eliminated because of that Cannon tick |
| 7140s | but he doesn't really care because he |
| 7142s | picks up two more eliminations because |
| 7144s | of it even though other players are |
| 7146s | putting in the work and he already had |
| 7148s | enough eliminations coming into that |
| 7149s | point where the multiplier was just |
| 7151s | gonna be huge for him being one of the |
| 7153s | last uh six players left alive AOW Mike |
| 7156s | plays that very smart we see Jen also |
| 7158s | coming in with the cannon able to just |
| 7160s | grief T225 |
| 7162s | almost every time we see a player take |
| 7164s | that sort of sliver that we see 2225 |
| 7166s | takes they get punished for it it's like |
| 7168s | they forget in their in their brain that |
| 7171s | oh hey there's weapons that are capable |
| 7173s | of actually damaging me through these |
| 7175s | walls they're like all they're thinking |
| 7177s | about they've got their blinders on |
| 7178s | they're like we've got safety I can pot |
| 7180s | up here people can't shoot me oh wait I |
| 7182s | forgot explosions are a thing they can |
| 7184s | absolutely uh Peg me down through the |
| 7186s | wall and they get to track your health |
| 7188s | bar too that's another thing it's not |
| 7190s | like they're just pelting the wall at |
| 7192s | random as soon as they get that first |
| 7194s | tick of damage on you they know where |
| 7196s | you are behind that wall they can just |
| 7198s | continue to track you and as long as |
| 7200s | they find another tick of damage on you |
| 7202s | in the next 10 seconds they just get to |
| 7205s | keep you infinitely pinned down and |
| 7207s | that's what we watch happen to T225 like |
| 7210s | you said spider also wanting to try to |
| 7212s | sort of capitalize on that if he can but |
| 7214s | he's not able to get in and get the |
| 7215s | armor and he knows that if he puts |
| 7217s | himself in that box he's never getting |
| 7220s | out of it so wbg spider making a good |
| 7222s | call there but yeah look at this aw's |
| 7224s | mic goes from four eliminations to six |
| 7225s | he does indeed pick up two eliminations |
| 7227s | off the back of the flame breath on that |
| 7229s | Cannon he finishes out in a third place |
| 7232s | here is able to get a game score of 11. |
| 7235s | alliances gin and T225 gonna be |
| 7237s | following shortly behind at a 10.4 for |
| 7240s | alliance's gym but T225 even though he |
| 7242s | has four eliminations unfortunately |
| 7243s | doesn't get the kill multiplier he's |
| 7245s | looking for because he does get |
| 7247s | eliminated in that cheeky little room he |
| 7249s | found himself in so he goes out with a |
| 7251s | game score of 6.6 and this is gonna |
| 7253s | Skyrocket Mike all the way to the top of |
| 7256s | the leaderboard |
| 7259s | yeah two two five hat really really |
| 7261s | dropped the ball he had the opportunity |
| 7264s | and character set up perfectly for this |
| 7266s | end game and something that I I always |
| 7268s | hear every day when you take the 225s |
| 7271s | line that is not very ugly meaning you |
| 7274s | want to be with the crowd there is |
| 7277s | safety in numbers and when you're out |
| 7279s | there showing your presence he had gold |
| 7281s | armor he had Yodo he had great Jades he |
| 7284s | could have easily muscled the rest of |
| 7285s | the lobby and fought them off if they |
| 7287s | try to focus fired him and if anything |
| 7289s | he could have got value off his alt he |
| 7291s | ends up dying for fruit for free while |
| 7294s | Chinese players say bay does not |
| 7296s | ultimate at all just stuck in the corner |
| 7298s | the worst way to die the the shameful |
| 7301s | ratting in a corner with gold armor you |
| 7303s | just hate to see that and it's just not |
| 7305s | ugly if he was out there I'd guarantee |
| 7308s | if he was out there and jyn started |
| 7310s | canning him all he had to do was be like |
| 7311s | hey you're all in me I got more chips |
| 7314s | than you we're gonna all in you let's |
| 7316s | jump on his forehead and you just start |
| 7318s | releasing the Blues just flying through |
| 7320s | the skies releasing every blue attack |
| 7322s | and you get buried no problem F3 you're |
| 7325s | gonna Lobby me now no problem old and we |
| 7327s | keep that Armor high and we get a little |
| 7329s | bit of heals from doing that next time |
| 7331s | that player may think twice about hey |
| 7333s | you're gonna try to get me lobbied hmm I |
| 7336s | remember last time that guy he got ugly |
| 7339s | on me he just jumped on me and he just |
| 7340s | let it all go he let he bet it all blue |
| 7342s | on me and I was like what's going on |
| 7343s | here I don't want to hit that guy next |
| 7345s | time I'm going to stay away from that |
| 7346s | guy that guy's like Mike he's just he's |
| 7348s | just crazy he's just out there going |
| 7351s | crazy if you even remotely look at him |
| 7353s | and what you've seen in a lot of these |
| 7354s | lobbies is like there is almost like a |
| 7356s | reverence when it comes to Mike and |
| 7358s | spider and you're seeing some of these |
| 7360s | these newcomers who are actually having |
| 7362s | a ton of success not having that |
| 7363s | reverence they want to Dethrone them I |
| 7366s | mean you're seeing GBL sin renaming to |
| 7369s | Fong which literally means top of the |
| 7371s | mountain he opened up the season and was |
| 7373s | like nah you guys aren't at the top I'm |
| 7375s | at the top get on the bottom line |
| 7377s | Mountain I am the goat even though I |
| 7378s | have and one uh the worlds yet I will be |
| 7382s | winning this ndpl now and next worlds |
| 7384s | and that's the type of confidence you |
| 7386s | need to take in these lobbies if you |
| 7387s | want to see success all these guys are |
| 7390s | extremely competitive and extremely |
| 7391s | skilled but it's these small margins |
| 7393s | that make the difference between being |
| 7395s | great and good |
| 7396s | oh yeah I mean absolutely at the end of |
| 7399s | the day it really comes down uh to the |
| 7402s | overall decision making for a lot of |
| 7404s | these players and like you said these |
| 7405s | players that are kind of afraid to take |
| 7407s | these engagements with people like wbg |
| 7410s | spider or aow's Mike actually continue |
| 7412s | to find themselves falling lower and |
| 7414s | lower on the leaderboard yes you need to |
| 7417s | respect every player in the lobby you |
| 7419s | need to treat every player as a threat |
| 7421s | but if you come in trying to make all of |
| 7424s | your decision making around not wanting |
| 7427s | to fight some of these top players you |
| 7428s | just find yourself following it |
| 7430s | completely behind but we've got a short |
| 7432s | video for you guys before we come back |
| 7434s | and lock in for game number three so |
| 7436s | stick around because we're going to be |
| 7438s | right back |
| 7439s | foreign |
| 7452s | yes who's getting new gear |
| 7455s | joke's on you it's me |
| 7466s | like kudumi needs a new outfit |
| 7475s | thank you |
| 7509s | foreign |

| 7587s | foreign |
| 7591s | [Music] |
| 7607s | welcome back ladies and gentlemen as we |
| 7609s | take a look at the overall scoreboard |
| 7611s | here we see uh ewg's you run all the way |
| 7614s | at the bottom unfortunately not |
| 7615s | competing today so no opportunity to put |
| 7617s | points on the board what was kind about |
| 7619s | this is I don't know what's going on |
| 7620s | with the Wolves this season Raven they |
| 7623s | were so confident they are my favorite |
| 7626s | team I've got a signed jersey from the |
| 7628s | whole team on my |
| 7630s | walls there's actual pain I don't know |
| 7633s | what it is they came into Worlds this |
| 7636s | year and they looked like they had |
| 7638s | learned from all the mistakes that they |
| 7639s | made in season two of nbpl and |
| 7642s | unfortunately now that we're back from |
| 7644s | Worlds where they had a fairly decent |
| 7646s | performance and we're back in the |
| 7648s | regular season of nbpo they're making |
| 7650s | all the same mistakes that they made |
| 7652s | last season I don't know what's going on |
| 7654s | because this is not the same team wolves |
| 7656s | that I love to cheer for I I don't know |
| 7659s | where they've crumbled and Fallen apart |
| 7661s | but they need to they need to pull it |
| 7662s | together here |
| 7663s | taking a look at some more of these |
| 7665s | players uh TK uh xxy interestingly |
| 7669s | enough uh able to put a couple of points |
| 7672s | on the board today but looking to have a |
| 7674s | similarly paced day uh to his day one |
| 7677s | given the amount of points he's put on |
| 7678s | the board in his first two games we're |
| 7681s | gonna see if he can make something |
| 7682s | happen here |
| 7683s | it it's very unfortunate we see TK kind |
| 7686s | of changed their players around every |
| 7688s | once in a while and they continue to |
| 7690s | have this sort of bottom of the |
| 7691s | leaderboard performance as we head |
| 7693s | towards the top of the leaderboard I |
| 7695s | know a lot of people uh a little upset |
| 7698s | that our boy demo from teamit KZ here |
| 7701s | has kind of been dethroned from the top |
| 7703s | but realistically I think we all knew |
| 7705s | coming into the day you know demo had |
| 7707s | some very good consistency games he was |
| 7709s | able to get himself to the top after two |
| 7711s | days but it's not like somebody J teams |
| 7714s | action or AWS mic or even GS who had 40 |
| 7717s | Point days on their first day here |
| 7719s | coming in realistically on their second |
| 7721s | day we expect to see that sort of |
| 7723s | similar performance coming out from |
| 7725s | these players probably in the 40 to 50 |
| 7728s | point range especially aow's Mike if he |
| 7731s | continues to land Perry's the way he has |
| 7733s | he picked up three uh Perry's last game |
| 7735s | and every single time he lands a Parry |
| 7737s | he's picking up an elimination and we |
| 7739s | talked about this uh during game number |
| 7741s | one that two to three eliminations is |
| 7744s | absolutely huge in solos again the |
| 7748s | average number of top kills in a game is |
| 7751s | five and that's typically a single |
| 7753s | player picking up five eliminations |
| 7755s | right so if you've got two or three |
| 7757s | eliminations on your belt and you go out |
| 7759s | in these top three top four sort of |
| 7763s | situations you're sitting pretty good in |
| 7765s | terms of overall points versus everybody |
| 7767s | else uh in these games but then you have |
| 7770s | players like AWS Mike who just doesn't |
| 7771s | care picks up six eliminations in the |
| 7773s | first place finish uh we've got a uh |
| 7775s | quick question for you guys uh those of |
| 7778s | you viewing at home uh if you want to |
| 7780s | pick yourself up one of these lovely |
| 7782s | Treasures which player below is not in |
| 7784s | the top three so far is it uh a GS is |
| 7787s | t225b aow's Mike C J team's action or D |
| 7792s | wbg spider if you I'm not even gonna |
| 7795s | give you guys a hint because if you |
| 7796s | don't get this we literally just looked |
| 7798s | at the leaderboard and talked about |
| 7799s | these three players |
| 7801s | um I I'm just sorry if you do get it |
| 7804s | make sure you uh take a look at your |
| 7806s | Whispers here on Twitch because you're |
| 7808s | going to get a sent a lovely whisper |
| 7809s | here on Twitch uh with some codes to go |
| 7811s | and pick yourself up as some goodies as |
| 7812s | we get ready to lock in for game number |
| 7815s | three uh are you expecting to see any |
| 7818s | changeups from The Meta uh here in game |
| 7821s | number three Raven or is it just gonna |
| 7822s | be more of what we're used to uh for |
| 7825s | solos |
| 7826s | now this is what I was saying that some |
| 7828s | people start off really really slow but |
| 7830s | after you get you you get in your first |
| 7833s | game you get in your second game now |
| 7835s | it's time to lock in get ugly start |
| 7838s | actually performing off spawn like you |
| 7840s | were saying like the top kills in the |
| 7842s | lobby is three to five and what you're |
| 7844s | seeing a lot of the drama of the lobby |
| 7846s | at the top end these guys are coasting |
| 7848s | once they get to a certain points once |
| 7850s | you're above around 35 points you know |
| 7851s | you're probably gonna make it to finals |
| 7853s | so you can kind of experiment kind of go |
| 7855s | through the motions and save some of |
| 7857s | your strategies for finals but for the |
| 7859s | guys who who are on the edge we saw last |
| 7862s | week for the last qualifier railgun able |
| 7865s | to dramatically get a ton of kills off |
| 7869s | spawn and leverage that all the way to |
| 7871s | end game to get that juicy juicy |
| 7873s | multiplier but it starts out by going |
| 7875s | for those kills fortune favors the Bold |
| 7878s | you must find some type of trick in |
| 7881s | order to get these kills on people and |
| 7884s | when these players have better mechanism |
| 7886s | doesn't matter as long as you counter |
| 7888s | pick the right at the right time each |
| 7891s | day is very different each round is very |
| 7894s | different people's mental rise and they |
| 7896s | fall but if you stay true to whatever |
| 7898s | strategy you devise you can find these |
| 7901s | fights and net these kills and still |
| 7904s | bring back a shambles game there is no |
| 7906s | reason to ever give up and you see it |
| 7908s | from even the bottom people in the the |
| 7911s | league right now these players find a |
| 7913s | way sometimes that game five that game |
| 7915s | six when you're at game three this is |
| 7917s | not even the halfway point you've got |
| 7920s | way more naraka to play and depending on |
| 7923s | what the weather is like is what you're |
| 7925s | going to see as far as this meta shift |
| 7927s | I'm really curious to see what type of |
| 7930s | characters you guys want to play this |
| 7932s | time around we saw Justina from the goat |
| 7934s | himself spider kind of kind of being the |
| 7937s | innovator Reinventing himself and now |
| 7940s | like spider had a lot of motivational |
| 7942s | issues coming out of his worlds when he |
| 7944s | didn't know whether or not he wanted to |
| 7945s | compete and part of that love for naraka |
| 7948s | is like you have to keep innovating you |
| 7950s | cannot get stagnant all these guys want |
| 7952s | it real bad there isn't a lot of room at |
| 7955s | the top and what what is this Rune |
| 7958s | keeper |
| 7960s | I see exactly what you see uh not only |
| 7963s | are we gonna see quite a few targets |
| 7964s | coming through which we always love to |
| 7966s | see but we're gonna see a lot of voltas |
| 7967s | coming through it's it's water versus |
| 7969s | fire we haven't seen this since season |
| 7972s | one of nbpl the Volta Tarka split Lobby |
| 7978s | and this is very very interesting |
| 7980s | because these guys coming into the new |
| 7983s | season of mbpl they no longer get to see |
| 7986s | the hero selection uh going into the |
| 7989s | game so all these players are locking |
| 7991s | these heroes in blind right and |
| 7994s | typically if you're a Tarka player |
| 7997s | you're gunning for the Realms of Yang |
| 8000s | because you have a high high win |
| 8002s | percentage in Solo's realm of Yang but |
| 8005s | if you're a very good Volta player |
| 8008s | you actually have a better chance of |
| 8010s | winning a realm of Yang into a Tarka |
| 8013s | player because all you have to do is get |
| 8015s | the Tarka low enough to bait out his |
| 8017s | ultimate you counteract with your own |
| 8019s | ultimate and you completely shut down |
| 8022s | Target's ultimate if you get caught in |
| 8024s | that wave as Target G it actually |
| 8026s | cancels your ultimate you do get to keep |
| 8029s | a little bit of old charge but you are |
| 8032s | not gonna find that ultimate again |
| 8034s | inside that realm of Yang and that valda |
| 8037s | has completely shut you down we actually |
| 8039s | go to Five voltage it's five voltas five |
| 8042s | tarkas what an interesting Lobby this is |
| 8045s | gonna be Raven |
| 8046s | the Squirtle Squad has assembled man I I |
| 8050s | still have nightmares about the old |
| 8052s | valda meta where even if you got a Perry |
| 8055s | you got Touch of death valda was so |
| 8058s | crazy with the amount of stuns she had |
| 8060s | off her F3 and now we're seeing another |
| 8063s | rise of it I I can't only imagine as The |
| 8067s | Meta evolves and people become |
| 8069s | accustomed to the fact that if you light |
| 8070s | attack and get a stagger on valda he can |
| 8073s | actually just F3 and jump cancel grapple |
| 8076s | you and win like I I really want to see |
| 8078s | this Tech be kind of showcased I saw it |
| 8081s | uh the previous week |
| 8083s | and I'm wondering what these other top |
| 8085s | players are going to do Mike actually |
| 8087s | ends up choosing double Tarka a lot of |
| 8089s | the time in this five character pool and |
| 8091s | he's gonna find this is what I was |
| 8093s | looking for he did choose Viper at first |
| 8095s | but he switched off we're seeing the |
| 8098s | classic water versus fire dagger versus |
| 8102s | long sword not really favorable for |
| 8103s | longsword this is a big pain in the butt |
| 8106s | were you looking for that stagger but it |
| 8108s | just never comes you're just sitting |
| 8110s | there trying to look for this nice tooth |
| 8112s | looking here but you're seeing the F3 |
| 8114s | bubble and using this I kind of like F1 |
| 8116s | to sit around but Mike with the veteran |
| 8118s | play overholds and takes him down the |
| 8121s | old school still beats the new school |
| 8123s | get back to the lobby you have a second |
| 8125s | chance but now choosing another ring |
| 8127s | demon showing Mike what it's like to be |
| 8130s | ugly on ranked with the balda ranked |
| 8133s | demon character and just walks through |
| 8135s | Mike like he was paper just absolutely |
| 8137s | shreds him and now the current leader |
| 8139s | Xin coming in with the staff you're |
| 8143s | seeing the a sticky staff impossible to |
| 8145s | get away from that triple hold Dodge |
| 8147s | chasing down two Zone where you going |
| 8149s | sucker looking to try to get away |
| 8151s | dumping all of his energy trying to |
| 8154s | create some space but exiting hot on his |
| 8156s | tail a little bit of a movement era |
| 8158s | losing track getting his to get a heel |
| 8160s | on the rooftop X and listen in really |
| 8163s | really clearly using his dolphin sonar |
| 8165s | power looking for him trying to find him |
| 8168s | but choosing in a cheeky position under |
| 8170s | looking for the scale works but ends up |
| 8172s | getting clipped by XXX right click |
| 8174s | sending him for a ride but now a third |
| 8177s | party coming in kaibao hey he wants to |
| 8179s | party too we're talking about those |
| 8181s | third parties we're all here to party |
| 8183s | now |
| 8184s | the hunter becoming the hunted choosing |
| 8187s | trying to find some space trying to |
| 8189s | survive looking for the scale Rush |
| 8191s | looking for any amount of space to |
| 8193s | survive but that staff is reaching far |
| 8195s | finally gets the water gun shoots his |
| 8198s | bubble beam it's not gonna do much he's |
| 8200s | delaying the inevitable |
| 8202s | Against All Odds he actually makes it |
| 8204s | out disappears up the tree no X seems at |
| 8207s | one HP |
| 8208s | taken down by the Squirtle Squad but |
| 8210s | he's able to dodge the wave surfing away |
| 8213s | dodging the spear able to survive this |
| 8216s | is why exit is currently the leader |
| 8218s | finding a way to survive in places he |
| 8221s | shouldn't and now choosing wondering |
| 8223s | what the heck happened here how did that |
| 8225s | Tarka get away alive I thought we had an |
| 8228s | agreement we're both on team water but |
| 8230s | exit trying to evaporate kaibel with his |
| 8233s | old with just a great armor but the |
| 8236s | three-band Zone strips every one of the |
| 8239s | ability to use their ultimate now Kai |
| 8241s | Bell getting a crazy man so Perry comes |
| 8244s | on the roof and kicks exit right in the |
| 8247s | mouth go back to the lobby use your |
| 8249s | second life we're here to stay though |
| 8251s | and kaibao hoping to climb the ladder to |
| 8253s | secure his spot to make it to finals |
| 8256s | look Raven I swear after watching this |
| 8259s | fight wolves kaibao has got to be a |
| 8262s | listener of Beastie Boys because he |
| 8264s | literally came into this and said you |
| 8266s | gotta fight for your ride to party and |
| 8268s | party he did as we see these Valdez |
| 8271s | starting to tear the lobby up it was |
| 8273s | crazy though because we saw uh might |
| 8275s | come in pick up an elimination almost |
| 8277s | immediately on Tarka into one of these |
| 8279s | Valdez and then the valdo squad the |
| 8281s | Squirtle Squad as you called it showing |
| 8283s | up to clean mike up trying to clean up |
| 8286s | uh wolves kaibal as well uh and man it |
| 8289s | just going absolutely crazy actually |
| 8291s | does manage to find and clean up uh |
| 8293s | action finally after a crazy turn of |
| 8296s | events and look at this now the vault is |
| 8298s | going absolutely insane I do believe |
| 8300s | that's one Yodo here uh rain playing at |
| 8303s | yodohime into this Lobby is going to be |
| 8305s | quite interesting because Yodo another |
| 8307s | one of those Heroes whose ultimate very |
| 8309s | vulnerable uh to the valda ultimate as |
| 8312s | well can just be picked up right out of |
| 8313s | it after the first slash of course |
| 8316s | having that protection for the first |
| 8318s | Slash from things like uh monk grab and |
| 8321s | the valdo but immediately after that |
| 8322s | first slash all bets are off for |
| 8325s | yodohime so very interesting uh I I'm |
| 8328s | questioning how well this is going to |
| 8330s | work out for uh jjh's Reign this game |
| 8333s | Shen Yuan trying to give Chase's on to |
| 8334s | aow's Mike here Mike of course with that |
| 8336s | purple armor gonna lose quite a bit of |
| 8338s | it actually ends up into the |
| 8340s | truck purple Focus during touchdowns |
| 8342s | immediately cancels out Mike's ultimate |
| 8344s | with their own ultimate it's gonna come |
| 8346s | in no way they missed that Spears the |
| 8348s | catcher to the mic into the bubble the |
| 8349s | touch of death and that's gonna get |
| 8350s | ladies and gentlemen your AOW Mike |
| 8352s | eliminated from the lobby |
| 8356s | put one on the board for |
| 8359s | squirrel Squad now Panda man the initial |
| 8362s | Charizard of the tarkas back when Tarka |
| 8365s | was not Mana you saw Panda man using |
| 8368s | taco no matter what he became meta |
| 8370s | started using Tarka anyway doing the |
| 8372s | pogo stick staff being a meta slave |
| 8374s | himself you're seeing Tarka getting |
| 8376s | nerfed out of the meta you still see |
| 8378s | Panda man representing the fire Squad |
| 8380s | the little charmanders everywhere the |
| 8382s | underdog now getting juggled by the |
| 8384s | filthy Matari ends up getting taken down |
| 8386s | by farm and his dishonorable dagger but |
| 8389s | akil's a kill Banner band gets sent back |
| 8393s | to the lobby now Shen Yuan getting |
| 8395s | kicked off Ben actually doing the |
| 8398s | picking up another Squirtle accent |
| 8400s | trying |
| 8402s | actually put Charmander trying to go on |
| 8405s | another bottle we're getting water |
| 8406s | versus fire dagger versus long sword |
| 8409s | terrible matchup another Tarka a victim |
| 8412s | of this counter a victim of water |
| 8414s | absolutely obliterated by the spear poor |
| 8419s | tacos everywhere there's not many left |
| 8421s | standing is valda the actual counter to |
| 8423s | Tarka a lot of people say that because |
| 8425s | of tarka's infinite uh he's kind of op |
| 8429s | but if you know the answer to Tucker if |
| 8431s | you're in the know |
| 8432s | Taco is not as good as people say he is |
| 8435s | he is very vulnerable to other combos he |
| 8438s | is vulnerable getting blown up there are |
| 8440s | other characters that put you in the |
| 8441s | infinite it's just not with the katana |
| 8443s | it's hidden it's hidden with these this |
| 8446s | dark magic of staffs daggers Jades Tarka |
| 8450s | still can get exploded he is not the |
| 8452s | only one with that in his Arsenal now |
| 8455s | we're getting choosing in the zone this |
| 8457s | is somewhere where the Squirtle Squad |
| 8458s | excels she can suffocate you with her |
| 8460s | all she can do many things with her |
| 8462s | bubble the ton of questions but are we |
| 8464s | seeing some Baldo on valda hatred |
| 8468s | we're seeing choosing actually able to |
| 8471s | get away so unless you're being one of |
| 8473s | the trickiest places to chase someone |
| 8474s | there are just so many different |
| 8476s | rooftops that you can use so much |
| 8477s | Mobility but now Kai bow ego not |
| 8480s | traditionally in the Yang not trying to |
| 8483s | bet it all on Yang trying to avoid Mike |
| 8485s | but with Mike getting taken down All is |
| 8487s | fair game now ego we got valdo versus |
| 8490s | Matari and this is another counter |
| 8492s | matchup Matari able to Blink through a |
| 8495s | ton of valda's Kit this is a classic |
| 8497s | matchup ego with the big Perry following |
| 8500s | it up putting a ton of pressure on |
| 8501s | kaibao not hesitating to use a result |
| 8505s | but ends up getting perfectly waived |
| 8507s | there's now a brief moment where ego has |
| 8509s | to decide how he's is he going to |
| 8511s | continue pressuring or is he gonna back |
| 8514s | up he continues the pressure he |
| 8515s | continues to bet it all and he takes |
| 8517s | down kaibao with a gray counter pick |
| 8520s | going into the arena and taking down a |
| 8524s | free Squirtle invisible mataris |
| 8528s | looking to show its rain we got Fong on |
| 8530s | Matari as well |
| 8532s | uh xxy trying to make something happen |
| 8536s | it's a one last hit situation who's |
| 8539s | going to choke and Fong with the clutch |
| 8542s | rainshot ends up securing it the veteran |
| 8545s | showing he is cold under pressure |
| 8548s | oh my goodness dude this is a wild game |
| 8552s | all of these valdas into Tarka is insane |
| 8556s | again they no longer get to see uh the |
| 8560s | hero picks during the uh hero selection |
| 8563s | process from the other players so us |
| 8566s | coming into a five Tarka five uh Justina |
| 8569s | or sorry five uh valda Lobby already |
| 8572s | insane enough but the fact that valda |
| 8575s | just kind of hard counters these Target |
| 8577s | players if you know how to play into |
| 8579s | them correctly and US finding this Lobby |
| 8582s | absolutely insane we're seeing some |
| 8584s | crazy huge upsets here including onto |
| 8587s | aow's mic immediately is the ultimate no |
| 8590s | hesitation lets the ultimate burn and |
| 8593s | this is something we talked about spend |
| 8595s | the resource if you have the ultimate go |
| 8598s | ahead and use it and clearly in this a |
| 8601s | huge uh counter heavy lobby with all of |
| 8604s | these Valdez and the tarkas the Valdez |
| 8606s | have no qualms spending that ultimate |
| 8609s | and just making it happen here and I |
| 8611s | love to see it we're going to see a TK's |
| 8613s | xxy trying to come in and get something |
| 8615s | off the box they're not quite able to |
| 8616s | find what they were looking for is they |
| 8618s | take a ton of cannon shots kla's thing |
| 8620s | coming in looking to lock this up onto |
| 8622s | xxy xxy though unfortunately comes down |
| 8625s | here and is also going to find another |
| 8627s | player down below so they need to be |
| 8629s | very careful because they too are |
| 8631s | running a massive risk of third party |
| 8632s | then just trying to get as much damage |
| 8634s | off as they can with the cannon while |
| 8636s | they're Airborne here I'm gonna swap |
| 8637s | into the dagger we're gonna see uh jh's |
| 8640s | ego coming in as well xxy on the back |
| 8643s | foot and I love to see the swing just |
| 8645s | gonna back up use the teleport to create |
| 8647s | space because he too goes low and |
| 8649s | doesn't want to end up being the Target |
| 8651s | xxy no way to reset right now as they |
| 8654s | continue to be Chase Fang finds their |
| 8655s | reset and is pressing on to xxy xxy |
| 8659s | going airborne here trying to use the |
| 8661s | scale Rush on the nunchucks there to |
| 8663s | create a little bit of Distance by |
| 8664s | themselves from protection from all of |
| 8666s | these rain shots chasing them as well |
| 8668s | again with the scale rest as wbg Spider |
| 8670s | now the one in close pursuit to xxy xxy |
| 8673s | able to create a little bit of distance |
| 8675s | as these other players begin to grief |
| 8677s | each other trying to keep them from |
| 8679s | securing the elimination onto xxy xxy |
| 8682s | able to slip away here needs to be very |
| 8686s | careful though they have two minutes |
| 8688s | before Yang depletion kills them so they |
| 8690s | need to look to find an elimination |
| 8691s | gonna have to find that reset and find |
| 8693s | their way back in to this Fiesta that's |
| 8696s | breaking out down here by the waterfall |
| 8698s | massive Perry coming through Willis |
| 8700s | kaibel just gonna slip away but Kayla's |
| 8703s | Fang not willing to let it happen seize |
| 8705s | kaibel slip into the underside that |
| 8708s | Abyssal War gonna come through that |
| 8710s | dagger Soul Jade able to clean up onto |
| 8713s | wolves kaibao who didn't expect the |
| 8715s | Abyssal War to come through and that's |
| 8716s | going to be it as we see kaibao gets |
| 8719s | sent back to the lobby |
| 8722s | it's xxy still has his Yang depletion |
| 8726s | and this is this is a tough part of |
| 8727s | newer players into these veteran lobbies |
| 8730s | is like time to kill is really really |
| 8733s | important and now xxy getting juggled by |
| 8736s | fond one of the veterans there is no bad |
| 8738s | Jade for dagger that Abyssal or a |
| 8740s | comboing perfectly with the backstabs |
| 8743s | now if xxy what spider was Mike you're |
| 8747s | noticing a difference of tempo with |
| 8749s | experience comes with |
| 8752s | really really great game sense your your |
| 8755s | ability to read these situations and |
| 8757s | understand when you're overextending and |
| 8759s | not overdoing it you don't want to you |
| 8761s | don't want to overcook your steak you |
| 8763s | you want that nice medium wear when |
| 8764s | you're looking at your opponent he's |
| 8766s | kind of you see a third party situation |
| 8768s | but if you go in you're just gonna |
| 8769s | overcook it and end up being the steak |
| 8771s | for someone else that nice juicy piece |
| 8773s | that everyone's trying to slurp up and |
| 8775s | xxy ends up being a victim of that now |
| 8777s | Fong on his Matari this is his comfort |
| 8779s | pick as a dagger connoisseur playing |
| 8782s | that |
| 8783s | legit Matari dagger backstab play like |
| 8787s | it's literally part of commit he's |
| 8788s | playing it to the Sea and now Wang Lang |
| 8790s | in his traditional defensive role on a |
| 8793s | zipping Wang Wang liking to get to end |
| 8796s | games but these are the situations that |
| 8798s | defines him as a player you cannot kill |
| 8801s | him in these transitional phases in this |
| 8803s | mid game at this Tower with a dagger |
| 8805s | you're seeing these really really fast |
| 8807s | scale rushes and his ability to circle |
| 8809s | now 225 probably has the most horsepower |
| 8813s | I'd say in the lobby he is by far the |
| 8816s | riskiest player in nbpo he just bets it |
| 8818s | all on Blue if you watch 225 in any of |
| 8821s | his engagements he's releasing the |
| 8823s | second he gets him that range that nice |
| 8825s | little bubble range he pokes your bubble |
| 8827s | with two Blues he is not afraid to |
| 8830s | double down just because most players |
| 8831s | are just not willing to really open up |
| 8833s | with a Perry now going in to gang you |
| 8838s | love to see it spider the goat himself |
| 8840s | using something not normally seen ever |
| 8843s | that pull sword heavy weapons really |
| 8846s | really slow going against a long sword a |
| 8848s | hard counter to Pulsar but you're seeing |
| 8851s | spider the optimal weapon swap getting |
| 8854s | that oh 150 damage going for the wave |
| 8858s | and making Shen Yuan look like a snack |
| 8862s | spider takes up that point showing |
| 8865s | everyone why he's a goat why he's the |
| 8867s | World Champ making it look easy |
| 8869s | this this is the thing with valda too |
| 8872s | right like if you're gonna be playing a |
| 8873s | hero like valda you're looking for that |
| 8876s | zero to 100 you have to not be afraid of |
| 8879s | committing your ability committing your |
| 8881s | ultimate and knowing that you can get |
| 8884s | somebody basically to death's door |
| 8886s | instantly and that's where wbg spider |
| 8889s | really shines as a player we talked |
| 8891s | about this before right forcing the |
| 8893s | lobby to play at your Tempo and this |
| 8895s | sort of valda All or Nothing Tempo is |
| 8898s | really where wbg spider excels right |
| 8901s | that's the sort of tempo that uh |
| 8904s | made him have such an explosive uh you |
| 8908s | know uh welcome to the scene as an nbpl |
| 8911s | player that shocked everybody else |
| 8913s | because we were in such a sort of stall |
| 8915s | meta uh at the time and it was wbg |
| 8918s | spider who just said I am more than |
| 8919s | happy to All or Nothing everybody in the |
| 8921s | lobby send you on here trying to do the |
| 8923s | same throws the bubble out goes for the |
| 8925s | uppercut combo there on the long sword |
| 8927s | which can be quite deadly as you're able |
| 8929s | to follow it up with the grapples and |
| 8931s | continue the juggle uh given the right |
| 8933s | scenario but Jail's ego immediately |
| 8935s | going to commit the teleport get that |
| 8937s | single frame of golden Focus to get out |
| 8940s | of the long sword uppercut and just |
| 8942s | deconnect from the bite says I wanted |
| 8945s | nothing to do with this wbg spider here |
| 8947s | coming on to rain |
| 8949s | rain will find the single pot before |
| 8951s | spiders able to find the hits here with |
| 8954s | the dagger on terrain looks to go in |
| 8957s | onto the pole sword is a little afraid |
| 8959s | of rain letting that uh stone form |
| 8963s | release there and uh backs off not quite |
| 8965s | able to find what he wants rain finds a |
| 8967s | hit and then rain will finally release |
| 8968s | the stone form after wgbg spider finally |
| 8972s | tries to commit onto it takes quite a |
| 8974s | bit of damage from it as well spider and |
| 8976s | Rain both gonna take a full reset here |
| 8978s | spider eight seconds until that F3 |
| 8980s | bubble comes back available to him and |
| 8982s | he just needs rain realistically to |
| 8985s | commit into the close range fight if |
| 8987s | spider can get ranged uh to commit to |
| 8989s | that fight and then it is able to use |
| 8991s | the F3 to extend into a touch of death |
| 8994s | there's not much rain can really do |
| 8995s | about it ego on the receiving end of |
| 8997s | jdg's jujangi are going to turn around |
| 8998s | with the vertical Focus coming off of |
| 9001s | the long sword the teleport to get out |
| 9003s | of the wave this is one of the reasons |
| 9005s | Matari uh finds their way typically into |
| 9008s | the again in ranked play because we see |
| 9011s | a lot of these valda players in ranked |
| 9014s | and Matari able to use that teleport to |
| 9015s | break away from the wave able to keep |
| 9018s | ego alive here but not able to keep them |
| 9020s | alive from the rain shots coming in from |
| 9023s | very quickly hot swaps into the bow and |
| 9026s | picks up an elimination taking a look |
| 9027s | Kayla's Fang top side here just uh |
| 9030s | keeping things casual up on the ballista |
| 9031s | see spider cone down below we'll find a |
| 9033s | massive Perry with the follow-up and is |
| 9036s | able to avoid the bubble with the |
| 9038s | jumping double left click on to spider |
| 9041s | knows the valdemeta knows where the |
| 9043s | bubbles are gonna come out thing Blaine |
| 9046s | is so clean on wbg spider as we do go |
| 9048s | into ballista watch we see players |
| 9050s | typically able to keep it moving here |
| 9051s | keep it alive and smarter trying to do |
| 9053s | the same thing but p225 without the |
| 9056s | meteor actually able to get the Reed on |
| 9058s | the cannon shot and we're eliminate wbg |
| 9061s | spider |
| 9064s | Fong making Spider just look like a bug |
| 9067s | just squishing him absolutely with that |
| 9069s | dagger on a Bissell oil it always it |
| 9071s | never surprises me how just clean Fong |
| 9075s | is there's almost no women to believe |
| 9076s | breathe when he has his dagger on top of |
| 9078s | you something that was really |
| 9079s | interesting in that that valdo managed |
| 9081s | an ego ego actually pump faked his Spear |
| 9084s | four times and burning all of the |
| 9087s | matari's stamina and actually predicted |
| 9090s | his Dodge with a crazy spear that was |
| 9092s | nuts I've never seen someone pump fake |
| 9094s | four times before throwing the spear and |
| 9097s | actually hitting matar with so many |
| 9099s | resources that Matari has to be reeling |
| 9102s | after such a silly death now two two |
| 9104s | five on that Tarka representing team |
| 9107s | fire can he survive with all these |
| 9110s | voltas leading to end game valdo |
| 9111s | actually has the advantage because when |
| 9114s | she goes into her ultimate she gets a |
| 9116s | second Health pool now two to five ooh |
| 9118s | looks like he's gonna get a clutch here |
| 9119s | sending choose in to the to the lobby |
| 9123s | with an infinite at one HP the gray |
| 9125s | clutch the classic Tarka infinite |
| 9129s | the infamous Tarka infinite just you |
| 9131s | hate to die that way it's one of the |
| 9133s | worst feelings to get stuck in an |
| 9135s | infinite combo by Tarka it's one of the |
| 9137s | oldest combos in naraka but now 225 |
| 9141s | using the tried and true dagger though |
| 9143s | even though Katana is really really good |
| 9145s | with tarker all in actual neutral tacos |
| 9148s | or katanas actually one of the worst |
| 9151s | weapons in the game it has a lingering |
| 9153s | Focus attack that parries just catch it |
| 9156s | it can't really move very quickly its |
| 9158s | scale Rush is respectable it leads to a |
| 9160s | ton of combos but its ability to move is |
| 9164s | complete cheeks like you cannot move |
| 9166s | with katana it is one of the slowest |
| 9168s | weapons to move around as far as sliding |
| 9171s | around now long sword on the other hand |
| 9174s | is one of the fastest weapons and you're |
| 9176s | seeing choosing kind of searching around |
| 9179s | making sure the shop is safe he wants to |
| 9181s | scale up and something new about this |
| 9184s | season uh |
| 9185s | roomkeeper that I notice is that a lot |
| 9187s | of these players because we're actually |
| 9189s | getting to end game and having these |
| 9191s | defensive end games you're seeing like |
| 9192s | Wang Ling Pioneer Health Jades over |
| 9195s | melee Jades sounded very very different |
| 9198s | that we haven't seen and traditionally |
| 9199s | melee Jade's like allow you to survive |
| 9202s | through tons of damage increasing your |
| 9204s | overall health pool but because a lot of |
| 9207s | these end games and these super tough |
| 9209s | libraries end up coming from also range |
| 9211s | Health ends up double Downing from melee |
| 9214s | damage and rage damage and you're seeing |
| 9216s | it here Wang Wang is an absolute tank |
| 9218s | the whole Lobby is on him and he's just |
| 9220s | swatting them away like flies he doesn't |
| 9222s | care you can't kill me it doesn't matter |
| 9224s | if you talk at all I'm zipping I got |
| 9226s | nine lives I'm literally a cat I know |
| 9229s | that Ackers was just released the game |
| 9230s | but zipping is might as well be a catch |
| 9232s | he has nine lives you cannot kill this |
| 9234s | character it frustrates everyone she |
| 9236s | just gets a run away for free forever |
| 9238s | now we're getting choosing binding 225 |
| 9241s | with no armor |
| 9242s | now the lobby recognizing that 225 |
| 9244s | doesn't have all any super vulnerable he |
| 9247s | cannot break the next stagger this is |
| 9248s | one of the weaknesses of Tarka he |
| 9250s | doesn't have a combo break now Fong |
| 9252s | putting him in the op dagger combos how |
| 9255s | many Abyssal are now fog not not gonna |
| 9259s | lose his Target here 225 trying to use |
| 9261s | this building to survive dagger having |
| 9264s | great Mobility he's looking to survive |
| 9266s | he's at one HP any type of burning |
| 9268s | effect will take him down he's talking |
| 9270s | he's normally trying to burn others but |
| 9272s | in this case bong is turning the pain |
| 9274s | onto this Tarka running away with white |
| 9277s | armor he's looking to break some angles |
| 9279s | he's looking to go through some windows |
| 9280s | but Funk cannot be |
| 9283s | Dodge he is on retire he's out for blood |
| 9286s | 225 ends up eating a huge Focus attack |
| 9290s | by Wang Wang and |
| 9292s | Fong there is just no Escape Wang Lang |
| 9294s | was the hunted before now the hunter |
| 9297s | he's just an absolute unit prune keeper |
| 9300s | oh absolutely wagglyang able to clean up |
| 9302s | uh that elimination onto T225 T225 man |
| 9305s | like you said this is one of the |
| 9307s | weaknesses of tarco right like Tarka has |
| 9309s | that uh infinite potential he's able to |
| 9312s | catch a player out but he doesn't really |
| 9313s | have uh the ability to break away from |
| 9317s | combos when he doesn't have his ultimate |
| 9319s | right he doesn't have uh that sort of |
| 9321s | golden Focus that get out of jail free |
| 9323s | card uh if you will and we see him in a |
| 9326s | really bad situation he's forced to take |
| 9328s | an armor swap into a white armor which |
| 9330s | is exactly where you don't want to be as |
| 9333s | a Tarka he uses that building to stay |
| 9335s | alive for so long but there's just so |
| 9337s | many players in this small space he |
| 9340s | doesn't feel like he can just break away |
| 9342s | and go out towards the edge of the |
| 9344s | circle uh not only because the players |
| 9346s | are just going to have so much line of |
| 9347s | sight on him given where these final |
| 9349s | circles are starting to collapse but |
| 9351s | also he needs to get back into that |
| 9353s | purple set of armor yes he hot swaps |
| 9355s | into the white armor just to find some |
| 9357s | survivability for a little while but he |
| 9359s | knows who he goes into final Circle and |
| 9361s | white armor these zippings are just |
| 9363s | gonna out heal him into Oblivion right |
| 9366s | and the only opportunity he has to |
| 9368s | survive is with a set of legendary armor |
| 9370s | or purple armor so he tries to make his |
| 9372s | way back around the armor and is just |
| 9374s | completely denied uh by all these |
| 9376s | zipping players in the lobby here Wang |
| 9378s | Liang top side here has only picked up |
| 9380s | one elimination but still holding on |
| 9383s | strong here as we get ready to head into |
| 9385s | the end game Kayla is Fang with six |
| 9387s | eliminations in the belt and this is |
| 9389s | what I talk about Matari one of the |
| 9391s | Beautiful Things uh about watching these |
| 9394s | micro Metals perform is watching kind of |
| 9396s | these Heroes shift uh from the the |
| 9399s | playstyle that they are right Matari |
| 9401s | back in season one was a mid to late |
| 9404s | game hero right she didn't really want |
| 9406s | to do anything in the late game you were |
| 9408s | playing Matari for survivability what we |
| 9410s | see now is she shifted she's very much |
| 9413s | wants to take these aggressive fights |
| 9415s | early to mid game and put as many points |
| 9417s | under the belt as she possibly can and |
| 9420s | then play the survivability into late |
| 9422s | game that's what she's looking to do |
| 9424s | she's looking to just get those |
| 9426s | eliminations early we see those hit and |
| 9429s | run tactics that these players have |
| 9430s | started to evolve and we see how well |
| 9433s | that paying off for players uh like Fang |
| 9436s | right especially somebody like Ben who |
| 9438s | has the dagger and this is the other |
| 9441s | thing when you're playing Matari it's |
| 9443s | very similar to that pacing we talked |
| 9445s | about uh with valdo right you're very |
| 9448s | much looking to just go ahead and burn |
| 9449s | your kit use the ultimate to get those |
| 9452s | backstabs into the combo extensions so |
| 9454s | you can secure the kill we watched Fang |
| 9456s | do that to wbg spider literally dropped |
| 9460s | onto spider and uh kind of squash spider |
| 9463s | like they were a fly instead of the |
| 9465s | spider Fang literally just making it |
| 9467s | look easy now I'm gonna find themselves |
| 9468s | all the Wang Liang Wang taking a ton of |
| 9470s | damage the burnt tick coming through as |
| 9471s | well is gonna help Fang be able to get |
| 9474s | some more damage onto Wang Liang while |
| 9477s | that ultimate is trying to heal through |
| 9478s | some of that Wang Lang no no bubble |
| 9481s | extremely low there's no place for Wang |
| 9483s | Lang to go finds himself blitzed into |
| 9485s | the corner has both of these players |
| 9486s | chasing the only hope for Wang Liang |
| 9488s | here is that Jin griefs Fang away from |
| 9491s | it he's not able to fight and Fang comes |
| 9493s | in with that huge legendary souljate on |
| 9495s | the dagger the Pride's fall is able to |
| 9497s | get the grab into the suplex onto Wang |
| 9501s | Liang Wang Ling able to find the bubble |
| 9503s | again but he's so low it's the last |
| 9505s | three players left in the lobbying knows |
| 9508s | this is going to come down to a 1v1 it's |
| 9510s | actually Fang who's able to secure the |
| 9513s | elimination out from underneath |
| 9514s | alliance's gin and gin unfortunately |
| 9516s | gonna suffer massively here they have |
| 9518s | the ultimate Fang however has ult |
| 9520s | available as well as soon as they get a |
| 9522s | single backstab in there it is they |
| 9525s | still have another one they go back in |
| 9526s | sure enough that's all that's gonna take |
| 9528s | care of his friends with Aid |
| 9530s | eliminations and a first place finish |
| 9533s | [Music] |
| 9535s | absolutely spectacular by Fang he |
| 9539s | chooses Wang Lang to get him lobbied |
| 9541s | knowing that zipping is going to outlast |
| 9544s | him and Tarka the enemy of my enemy is |
| 9547s | my friend tatarka jumping in to join in |
| 9551s | the third party a I'd rather get second |
| 9553s | place rather than third place we're |
| 9555s | gonna lose to this unit this zipping |
| 9557s | Menace this Abby absolute Shield block |
| 9560s | we do not want to go down to him let's |
| 9563s | take this honorable duel afterwards now |
| 9565s | I don't know about Tarka pole sword |
| 9567s | versus dagger Matari that sounds like a |
| 9570s | losing matchup |
| 9571s | he tries to get illuminated with it but |
| 9573s | Funk the reason why dagger is actually |
| 9575s | one of the strongest weapons in solos is |
| 9578s | its ability to dodge you can light |
| 9580s | attack and immediately iframe whatever |
| 9583s | attack your opponent does and not only |
| 9585s | that you can immediately Dodge right |
| 9586s | after that imagine a tap Dodge on crack |
| 9590s | with no downside normally when you're |
| 9593s | playing naraka you're trying to weave |
| 9595s | you're not trying to take damage uh |
| 9597s | you're trying to use tap dots one of the |
| 9599s | first pillars of like getting better to |
| 9600s | the game is using and utilizing tap dots |
| 9603s | but what you learn very quickly is that |
| 9605s | other Ubers out there just stay on top |
| 9607s | of you and send you for a ride every |
| 9609s | time you tap Dodge and you just you just |
| 9611s | add a loss but the answer is dagger it's |
| 9614s | just like you don't need to learn a ton |
| 9615s | of tech all you got to know is that you |
| 9617s | can light attack with dagger and Dodge |
| 9618s | out for free over and over and you're |
| 9620s | seeing it from Fong right there even |
| 9622s | with tarko and ALT he struggled to get a |
| 9625s | hit on Atari he to the point where Fong |
| 9627s | held his utility to the very end he |
| 9630s | didn't they need to own he could have |
| 9631s | been instant altered and absolutely |
| 9633s | murked the tarcope but he just played |
| 9635s | with his food he just chopped them up |
| 9637s | put them in the salad he just did it |
| 9639s | very lean and clean taking him down just |
| 9642s | didn't made it look easy keeper oh |
| 9645s | absolutely and I mean one of the other |
| 9646s | great things about the dagger as well |
| 9648s | and this is one of the tips I try to |
| 9650s | teach new players all the time is |
| 9652s | typically when you're being chased by |
| 9653s | another player your instinct is to tap |
| 9655s | Dodge away from a player because in your |
| 9658s | brain you're like okay I want to create |
| 9659s | space I want to get away from this |
| 9661s | player but actually tap dodging towards |
| 9664s | your opponent or through your opponent |
| 9666s | nine times out of ten is actually going |
| 9668s | to create more confusion and more space |
| 9671s | for yourself especially if you're being |
| 9673s | grappled onto by another player tap |
| 9676s | dodging in the direction of the grapple |
| 9678s | rather than away from it buys you so |
| 9681s | much more space and one of the nice |
| 9683s | things about the dagger like you said is |
| 9684s | you can left click onto an opponent and |
| 9687s | then immediately tap Dodge through them |
| 9690s | by using that dagger Dash and not only |
| 9693s | does it buy you those iframes to just |
| 9695s | walk through whatever they throw at you |
| 9697s | but it creates so much space puts you |
| 9699s | behind them creates this level of |
| 9702s | confusion this you're playing those Mind |
| 9704s | Games right and the dagger excels at |
| 9708s | capitalizing on those mind games and we |
| 9709s | see Fang here man this is a huge game |
| 9711s | eight eliminations in a Solo Lobby is |
| 9717s | absolutely massive especially with the |
| 9718s | first place finish a 16.8 our highest |
| 9722s | kill Lobby was during season two wbg |
| 9725s | spider broke his own record from an |
| 9728s | eight kill to a 10 kill with a first |
| 9730s | place finish |
| 9731s | and that was when there were 16 players |
| 9733s | in the lobby so realistically four more |
| 9736s | kills available in the lobby |
| 9738s | now we're down to 14 players in lobbies |
| 9741s | instead of 16 players four less kills |
| 9744s | available in the lobby Fang still walks |
| 9746s | away with eight eliminations in the |
| 9748s | first place finish a 16.8 game score |
| 9751s | this is gonna Skyrocket Fang towards the |
| 9754s | very top of the overall standings |
| 9757s | yeah Fang just ahead of the meadow right |
| 9760s | here traditionally when you think of |
| 9762s | these nighttime games like you see tacos |
| 9764s | you see the Squirtle Squad coming out |
| 9766s | five tarkas five Valdez you're seeing |
| 9768s | these these Touch of deaths coming out |
| 9770s | 225 with the one HP infinite but ahead |
| 9774s | of all of this is actually the the |
| 9777s | infinite Touch of death killer Matari |
| 9779s | you cannot kill me with the changes that |
| 9781s | they gave her she has so many ways to |
| 9783s | avoid those Touch of deaths and a lot of |
| 9786s | the touch of deaths require very |
| 9788s | predictable openers and a lot of people |
| 9790s | just kind of fall into the Trap over and |
| 9792s | over give it to them but |
| 9795s | what you do when to in order to survive |
| 9797s | Touch of deaths you fight it with fire |
| 9799s | and that's what you're seeing Fong do |
| 9800s | he's just taking any single dagger jig |
| 9803s | he possibly can and he's like I'm not |
| 9805s | afraid I'm not afraid of the touch of |
| 9806s | death I'm I'm in here I'm getting googly |
| 9808s | we're just doing it we're throwing Blues |
| 9809s | we're throwing lights you can't hit me |
| 9811s | look at the instant lights into double |
| 9813s | Dodges over and over this Tarka even |
| 9815s | with blistering basically turning pole |
| 9818s | sword into a crazy long sweat Beam not |
| 9820s | able to get any value fungus just in and |
| 9823s | out prancing around him like this Deadly |
| 9826s | Assassin barred singing songs about your |
| 9828s | death just making it look so easy just |
| 9832s | it's absolutely beautiful to see now |
| 9835s | when you see the whole Lobby doing it |
| 9837s | stops becoming beautiful but when you |
| 9838s | see one player do it and kind of trick |
| 9840s | the whole Lobby into playing a different |
| 9842s | touch to death character man that's the |
| 9844s | stuff I live for a Room Keeper just a |
| 9846s | step |
| 9847s | look at this MVP card here I feel like |
| 9849s | we're looking at the trios MVP card 24 |
| 9853s | 000 damage eight eliminate Nations |
| 9855s | coming through here and nineteen |
| 9858s | thousand almost twenty thousand damage |
| 9860s | of that coming through this dagger no |
| 9862s | surprise honestly to see that much uh |
| 9865s | damage coming through from the dagger |
| 9866s | when it's uh Fang coming through from |
| 9868s | KLA this man is quite literally the |
| 9871s | dagger demon and man that final fight |
| 9874s | there uh really showcased exactly what |
| 9876s | we were talking about with the dagger |
| 9877s | being able to land those light attacks |
| 9879s | he can just jump backwards and then |
| 9881s | immediately tap Dodge through that |
| 9884s | follow-up wave coming through from the |
| 9886s | pulse or that blistering Edge you talked |
| 9888s | about turning it almost into a |
| 9890s | long-range long sword slash there but |
| 9893s | the dagger able to use that dagger Dash |
| 9895s | just to clean up that distance just to |
| 9897s | iframe through it get in their face and |
| 9899s | do a ton of damage or if they're already |
| 9901s | in their face just walk right through |
| 9903s | them and completely ignore anything that |
| 9906s | that pull sword is gonna do you're out |
| 9907s | of the reach there and then again we get |
| 9910s | to that fight and unfortunately we see |
| 9912s | the Tarka is already at half Health Fang |
| 9914s | is still holding on the ultimate and |
| 9916s | both of their TPS realistically that's a |
| 9918s | double combo extender as soon as he |
| 9921s | lands one to two of those it's enough HP |
| 9924s | to just win that fight we see him hold |
| 9926s | on to it I I think it's just Fang doing |
| 9929s | what Fang does right there's a lot of BM |
| 9931s | that we've seen from Fang this season |
| 9933s | and I think Fang goes into that fight |
| 9936s | and goes all right Target's half Health |
| 9937s | doesn't have ultimate here I'm I'm just |
| 9940s | going to see if I can win the fight |
| 9941s | without having to use my ultimate he |
| 9944s | does finally take a hit and decides okay |
| 9946s | you know what maybe I don't BM him here |
| 9949s | I'm gonna use the ultimate finally pulls |
| 9950s | out the ultimate gets the double |
| 9951s | backstab into the combo extensions |
| 9954s | That's All She Wrote but man I love it |
| 9956s | this is such a clean game coming out |
| 9959s | from Fang and just the utilization of |
| 9961s | Matari and playing hyper aggressively I |
| 9965s | love love the changes that we finally |
| 9967s | got for Matari this backstab has been |
| 9970s | one of the nicest things for this |
| 9973s | character this character used to be a |
| 9976s | stall meta character people used to |
| 9978s | complain so heavily about mataris and |
| 9981s | solo lobbies and God why do I have to |
| 9983s | chase this Matari halfway across the map |
| 9985s | she gets multiple teleports I can't |
| 9988s | catch her I can't grapple her and now |
| 9990s | instead you're seeing these Matari |
| 9992s | players become these active snowbally |
| 9995s | I'm going to fight you to the death |
| 9998s | characters because they're able to take |
| 10000s | those backstabs aggressively extend |
| 10002s | Combos and make things happen but |
| 10005s | speaking of making things happen we're |
| 10006s | going to throw things over to an |
| 10008s | interview before we come back and lock |
| 10010s | in for game number four so don't go |
| 10012s | anywhere |
| 10018s | and now I'm standing here with T225 and |
| 10021s | I can say hello to our audience |
| 10031s | so we know two to five you're really |
| 10033s | good at Tarka and I would like to know |
| 10036s | what you think the most important thing |
| 10039s | that when playing Tarka now um |
| 10048s | [Music] |
| 10054s | so I think uh using the Tarka the most |
| 10058s | important things is to find the correct |
| 10061s | time to use your skill and if you have |
| 10064s | used the skill then you can use the |
| 10066s | weapon and cooperate the skills that's |
| 10068s | why I can have very high damage by using |
| 10071s | Tarka okay let's find let's move on to |
| 10074s | next part answer for treasure |
| 10087s | okay so you guys can see a question on |

| 10322s | exactly what went down here the double |
| 10324s | grabs Pub in hunky taxi and that is one |
| 10326s | hell of a plan immediately finishing |
| 10329s | that one up |
| 10337s | there we go we're gonna see that |
| 10338s | legendary Soul Jane coming to kakaichi |
| 10340s | flips the script onto year on year on |
| 10343s | one HP in a dream trying to find it oh |

| 10364s | of yang |
| 10366s | foreign |
| 10368s | [Music] |
| 10400s | foreign |
| 10405s | [Music] |
| 10456s | foreign |
| 10459s | [Music] |
| 10478s | [Music] |
| 10488s | foreign |
| 10493s | as we take a look at the current |
| 10495s | standings uh on the leaderboard |
| 10497s | unfortunately oh my goodness my boy Kai |
| 10500s | bow from wolves continuing to fall uh |
| 10503s | further and further in the standings uh |
| 10506s | not happy to see that coming to for |
| 10508s | fruition but it is what it is uh TKS uh |
| 10511s | xxy unfortunately a zero point game as |
| 10513s | well not gonna see any movement here uh |
| 10516s | on the overall leaderboard a Jail's ego |
| 10519s | though having a much better day too than |
| 10521s | their day one as they've already been |
| 10522s | able to outpace their day one after just |
| 10525s | three games the question is will they be |
| 10527s | able uh to continue that sort of pacing |
| 10530s | uh going into the next three games uh of |
| 10533s | course we're gonna see Kayla's Fang here |
| 10535s | climb much much higher off the back of |
| 10538s | this last game again that's 16.8 that's |
| 10541s | more than uh half of their total points |
| 10543s | for the day here as they're able to lock |
| 10545s | themselves into quite a strong position |
| 10547s | number eight Kayla's Fang basically |
| 10550s | guaranteeing at this point that they're |
| 10553s | going to be heading into the bi-weekly |
| 10555s | final the question is how high can they |
| 10557s | climb up the leaderboard uh before we |
| 10559s | head into that final we still have three |
| 10561s | games to go today and Feng seems to be |
| 10563s | running in rare form unfortunately wbg |
| 10567s | spider |
| 10568s | continues to fall lower and lower on the |
| 10572s | leaderboard there's actually a world in |
| 10574s | which wbg spider does not go into the |
| 10577s | bi-weekly final if he continues to play |
| 10579s | the way that he's been playing today |
| 10581s | whereas aow's Mike has no such |
| 10583s | reservations as he's had quite the |
| 10585s | explosive day currently all the way |
| 10587s | sitting at the top of the leaderboard 21 |
| 10588s | points under his belt here for day two |
| 10591s | after only just three games looking to |
| 10594s | have another 40-point day and well on |
| 10597s | the way to making it happen and GS is |
| 10598s | T225 not as strong a day as he had a day |
| 10601s | number one with only 11.9 points under |
| 10604s | his belt and unfortunately j-team's |
| 10605s | action uh kind of resting on his Laurels |
| 10608s | a little bit is day one a 45.6 point day |
| 10611s | but thus far after three games only |
| 10614s | seven points uh that he's put up onto |
| 10617s | the leaderboard and you know we kind of |
| 10618s | talk about this typically even in you |
| 10621s | know consistency game where you're just |
| 10623s | looking to put a couple points on the |
| 10624s | board you're realistically trying to be |
| 10626s | in that five to six point range so seven |
| 10629s | points across three games is not a good |
| 10632s | performance whatsoever for Jay team's |
| 10634s | action |
| 10636s | yeah exactly one one of the things that |
| 10639s | go into this especially at the halfway |
| 10640s | point is your mental and your resolve |
| 10642s | something that tryhard told me he got to |
| 10644s | fight all the best players at Worlds I |
| 10647s | got to watch a lot of it and Coach him |
| 10649s | through it uh the hardest players he |
| 10651s | actually fought were 225 and spider he |
| 10653s | gives a ton of respect to them and he |
| 10655s | didn't get the fight against Mike as |
| 10657s | much but those are the three players |
| 10659s | that actually challenged tryhard and he |
| 10661s | was actually even if not better right |
| 10663s | before his final game he actually fought |
| 10665s | against spider and beat him in three |
| 10667s | band before that final Lobby and ended |
| 10669s | up not going the air but spider tried to |
| 10671s | get a little mental Edge on tryhard and |
| 10673s | try hard 100 made that backfire uh but |
| 10677s | something about 225 that a lot of people |
| 10679s | don't know is that you see this crazy |
| 10681s | performance from him from day one but |
| 10683s | when you see him go into these really |
| 10684s | really tough lobbies he's one of my |
| 10686s | favorite players to watch because he |
| 10687s | just bets it all he just always sends |
| 10689s | out the Blues he's the most googly |
| 10692s | player inside of the MVP album but his |
| 10696s | men pencil is a little bit weak when |
| 10698s | something goes wrong you can see it |
| 10700s | visibly and I watch a ton of the pros |
| 10702s | povs you hear verbal frustration from |
| 10705s | 225 and even though I consider him one |
| 10708s | of the best fighters he still has a |
| 10710s | little bit of growth to catch up to Mike |
| 10712s | and spider as being cold as ice and just |
| 10716s | absolutely terminating the lobby no |
| 10718s | matter what in every situation not just |
| 10720s | when everything's going right and |
| 10722s | something that I always I say that |
| 10723s | defines the great players it's not when |
| 10726s | you should win that matters it's what |
| 10729s | defines you as a player is all the |
| 10731s | situations that it looks like you're |
| 10732s | down and out that you shouldn't win and |
| 10734s | you find a way to win that's what these |
| 10737s | guys are showing on this biggest stage |
| 10739s | and even though some of these players |
| 10741s | some of them are completely out of range |
| 10744s | it's probably gonna be 37 to call but |
| 10745s | some of these players were at like 18 or |
| 10747s | 19. this is where railgun showed and |
| 10751s | proved himself that it doesn't matter if |
| 10753s | he's down by 10 15 20 points he can have |
| 10757s | these explosive lobbies if he just gets |
| 10759s | momentum going on for him this is |
| 10761s | something that newer players need in |
| 10763s | order to have pop-off games is momentum |
| 10765s | you don't need mental resolve when |
| 10767s | everything's going right when every |
| 10769s | decision you make feels like you can't |
| 10770s | make a wrong decision |
| 10772s | you can snowball out of control and |
| 10774s | bring back your game there is no reason |
| 10776s | to ever quit |
| 10778s | as long as you got a chip as long as you |
| 10780s | got a seat at the table you keep on |
| 10781s | betting you use those resources you |
| 10785s | don't leave anything left on the table |
| 10786s | even if you get one kill getting one |
| 10789s | kill is better than zero kills scared |
| 10791s | money don't make money if you got the |
| 10793s | Jades if you got the loot you need to go |
| 10796s | and leverage that and get some value out |
| 10799s | of it that's something that demo did |
| 10800s | really really good in his debut in nbpl |
| 10803s | he showed a lot of Veteran play I mean |
| 10806s | he was at Worlds he is one of the best |
| 10808s | southeast Asia players demo showing |
| 10812s | really really what it all that hard work |
| 10814s | pays off not being |
| 10816s | one of a native Chinese player and able |
| 10819s | to still play on the Chinese server with |
| 10820s | 100 ping he's able to develop his |
| 10822s | mechanics his strategy and his mindset |
| 10825s | and bring it on the biggest stage and |
| 10827s | perform now going into this next game |
| 10830s | what do you think uh the players are |
| 10833s | gonna adjust in his next game |
| 10835s | I'm expecting to see some more Target |
| 10837s | coming to this game I think we're gonna |
| 10838s | see some more aggression they're going |
| 10840s | to see some more hot drops this is |
| 10841s | typically the point in the day where a |
| 10843s | lot of these players like you said uh if |
| 10845s | you're on the lower half of this you |
| 10846s | know you need to have an explosive game |
| 10848s | and that means you need to be fighting |
| 10850s | from the very start to the very end you |
| 10851s | need to be looking to pick up as many |
| 10852s | eliminations as you can I'm gonna |
| 10855s | immediately be wrong and instead of |
| 10856s | mortarco we're gonna get a lot more |
| 10858s | Ferry it looks like we're going to go |
| 10860s | into our variage heavy Lobby here we're |
| 10863s | going to see a couple of zippings coming |
| 10865s | through as well a couple of matares and |
| 10868s | I do believe one yodohime but again I |
| 10870s | expect to see a lot more hot Drop coming |
| 10872s | through I expect to see some very |
| 10874s | aggressive uh early fights coming |
| 10876s | through from the these players as well |
| 10877s | who are looking to pick up those |
| 10879s | eliminations like you said and you know |
| 10881s | this is something we talked about in |
| 10884s | trios me and Jake last week during our |
| 10887s | Trio's Excursion is many many of these |
| 10890s | players know how to play the game when |
| 10893s | they're ahead you talked about that |
| 10894s | momentum right |
| 10896s | when everything's going right for you as |
| 10898s | a player it's very easy to capitalize on |
| 10901s | that sort of headspace that sort of |
| 10903s | momentum because the things that you've |
| 10906s | been doing are working and it's sort of |
| 10908s | that mentality of if it ain't broke |
| 10909s | don't fix it whereas most of the players |
| 10913s | in the league don't know how to |
| 10915s | successfully play from behind they don't |
| 10918s | understand how to make adjustments when |
| 10922s | the things that they've practiced the |
| 10924s | things that they came into the day |
| 10926s | expecting to do and expecting to help |
| 10929s | them succeed are no longer working that |
| 10932s | sort of adjusting on the Fly adjusting |
| 10934s | when a fight doesn't go your way and |
| 10938s | figuring out how to come out on top the |
| 10941s | ability to play from behind is something |
| 10943s | that is heavily underrated in this |
| 10946s | league and the players that are able to |
| 10949s | do that are the ones that exceed very |
| 10952s | very well here in the league one of |
| 10955s | those play players being players like a |
| 10959s | j team's action he's not having a great |
| 10961s | day today but we saw during his first |
| 10963s | day of this bi-weekly he constantly |
| 10967s | found himself being third party and on |
| 10970s | the receiving end of situations where he |
| 10973s | just typically wouldn't come out on top |
| 10975s | he was Sans abilities Etc but was able |
| 10978s | to make the adjustments to come out on |
| 10980s | top and that's why he's sitting so high |
| 10982s | on the leaderboard as he's very weird |
| 10984s | interaction coming out here between |
| 10986s | afw's Mike and xcg's Wang Ling he gets |
| 10988s | the Perry actually falls off but the |
| 10990s | repost locks his animation in so it |
| 10993s | pulls him back top side uh Wang Liang |
| 10995s | here going to back off away from this |
| 10998s | fight very quickly uh some interesting |
| 11001s | interactions coming out here in this |
| 11002s | white Wang Ling able to find the charge |
| 11004s | right click here on to aow's mic gonna |
| 11006s | use the F immediately back up Mike gonna |
| 11009s | catch the Perry yet again oh my goodness |
| 11012s | this is what we talk about on the |
| 11013s | nunchucks it's so much damage on that |
| 11017s | follow-up it's a single hit you don't |
| 11019s | have to have that second hit where it |
| 11021s | can be interrupted aow's mic catches the |
| 11024s | massive Barry there on to Wang Lang |
| 11025s | instantly follows it up with a top Dodge |
| 11028s | into that right click to be able to land |
| 11031s | that check Chase picks up the |
| 11033s | elimination now turning your attention |
| 11034s | to wbg spider going head-to-head with |
| 11036s | Kayla saying is able to find quite a few |
| 11039s | hits here on to Fang instantly and this |
| 11042s | is kind of uh ironic because this is |
| 11045s | just down below the ballista where last |
| 11048s | game we saw Fang come off the top of the |
| 11050s | ballista and completely delete spider |
| 11052s | with the dagger spider now turning uh |
| 11055s | that interaction onto Fang in almost the |
| 11057s | exact same place on the map and it |
| 11059s | starts blitzing through Fang's armor |
| 11061s | thing able to find an armor swap into |
| 11062s | the white armor wants to compressor on |
| 11064s | to spider here spider though with the |
| 11066s | purple armor in quite the advantage in |
| 11068s | the situation as well with the purple |
| 11070s | dagger that said Fang he sees that |
| 11072s | purple dagger he's going to be hungry to |
| 11075s | pick that up and take take that away |
| 11076s | from wbg spider I don't think he's going |
| 11078s | to run away from this interaction |
| 11079s | anytime soon other to to look for a |
| 11082s | reset spider |
| 11084s | continuing to chase your Fang actually |
| 11087s | able to get top side though use the |
| 11088s | dagger Dash and create some space we're |
| 11089s | gonna see spider coming to the jump area |
| 11091s | and oh my God the repost the end of the |
| 11093s | follow-up or jump into the right click |
| 11095s | doing so much damage onto Fang because |
| 11098s | of that purple dagger they're gonna be |
| 11099s | forced to burn the ultimate here not |
| 11101s | gonna be able to find these flashes on |
| 11103s | the spider will find one goes topside |
| 11105s | just to create a break from the line of |
| 11108s | sight so he can try to get one pod off |
| 11109s | its fighter not letting it happen the F3 |
| 11111s | coming out spider will find a way to |
| 11114s | overcome the F3 is able to come in lock |
| 11118s | them down and pick up the elimination |
| 11121s | nah I've been saying it all along |
| 11124s | Kyoto is a troll pick in these lobbies |
| 11127s | she just you just get no value from it |
| 11130s | with the Nerf to her F3 you just don't |
| 11132s | get that much time to heal and everyone |
| 11134s | knows the grapple kick you out of it you |
| 11136s | see that that F3 where normally you |
| 11138s | would get two heals zipping just Shield |
| 11140s | up and kick you out and sometimes you |
| 11142s | can just kick you out without the shield |
| 11143s | now you're seeing two two five on ego no |
| 11147s | armor This Is The Moment of Truth one of |
| 11149s | the things I love about watching Mike is |
| 11152s | he always bets it red in these |
| 11154s | situations there is a mind game that |
| 11155s | happens when you feel like your opponent |
| 11158s | you can't hit them even though they |
| 11160s | don't go red you're seeing ego he gets |
| 11162s | he gets a big pair even though he Burns |
| 11164s | Burns two two fives cooldown goal laps |
| 11167s | out it doesn't matter 225 has it in the |
| 11169s | back of his head if I try to focus |
| 11171s | attack this guy he's going to Parry me |
| 11173s | this gets in your head when you're |
| 11175s | fighting your opponent and ego shows him |
| 11177s | that he will be going red over and over |
| 11179s | he bets it all on red and he takes two |
| 11182s | to five down and like I was saying two |
| 11184s | two five The Gambler himself always |
| 11186s | sends two Blues ego with a great match |
| 11189s | up there just throwing double Perry back |
| 11192s | to back picking up that easy kill and |
| 11194s | Mike opening up again with the Perry |
| 11196s | with the kick to the forehead showing |
| 11198s | everyone why nunchucks was meta for so |
| 11200s | long that Perry is just so much damage |
| 11204s | normally you need a sap to get damaged |
| 11206s | but not with nunchucks you just sit |
| 11208s | there and you camp with lnb you throw |
| 11210s | Perry's out Bonks don't matter we're |
| 11212s | just getting ugly we're sending Blues |
| 11214s | now you're on the ropes Mike bets it all |
| 11217s | on red making Feria look easy you're |
| 11220s | just coasting through this lobby with |
| 11223s | this Mech this second life making it to |
| 11225s | end game winning and yang there's a |
| 11228s | saying right now in Yang Rune keeper you |
| 11230s | just you either |
| 11231s | Ty or you win with Feria it's complete |
| 11235s | grief inside the arena what do you think |
| 11237s | about how the arena is set up right now |
| 11240s | I feel like it shapes how The Meta is |
| 11243s | evolving as far as doing characters and |
| 11245s | everyone doesn't like seeing that uh |
| 11249s | last hit situation where you just wait |
| 11251s | out your opponent and both of you die |
| 11253s | what do you think they should change to |
| 11255s | make that interaction a little bit more |
| 11256s | fun |
| 11257s | you know it really kind of comes down to |
| 11260s | the meta right we go through these |
| 11261s | shifts in The Meta like we have the |
| 11263s | target meta in season two and or sorry |
| 11266s | during worlds right and we saw so many |
| 11269s | of these stall characters fall out of |
| 11271s | favor inside the realm of Yang I don't |
| 11273s | think it's at the realm of Yang in |
| 11274s | particular needs to change it's just |
| 11276s | during the stall meta you're going to |
| 11278s | find characters that are capable of |
| 11280s | stalling out those Realms of Yang and |
| 11282s | that's the the sacrifice that they they |
| 11284s | kind of make going inside the realm of |
| 11287s | yang right but you actually see a lot of |
| 11289s | players adapting towards this sort of |
| 11292s | play style right you see mataris who are |
| 11295s | just opting to not even go for realm of |
| 11297s | Yang because they're these early to late |
| 11299s | Game Heroes and they know that their win |
| 11301s | rate's going to be less inside the realm |
| 11303s | of Yang because they are a stall hero |
| 11305s | and typically when they go inside the |
| 11307s | realm of Yang unless they're just |
| 11309s | getting hyper hyper aggressive and kind |
| 11311s | of risking at all |
| 11313s | so what they do instead is they go look |
| 11315s | for these players who are coming out of |
| 11317s | the realm of Yang who have depletion |
| 11320s | because you can kind of track it right |
| 11322s | you see where these Rome of yangs are |
| 11324s | spawning on the map you see that you go |
| 11325s | okay where's the nearest respawn Point |
| 11328s | realistically that these other players |
| 11330s | if they die in realm of Yang are going |
| 11331s | to go to and then you can kind of go |
| 11333s | camp those respawn points not only can |
| 11335s | you pick them dry of resources while |
| 11337s | they're fighting inside the realm of |
| 11339s | Yang you can then just kind of Camp |
| 11341s | around outside of them and when they |
| 11343s | spawn you know the sort of pathing that |
| 11345s | these players are going to take you play |
| 11347s | against them all the time and you're |
| 11348s | able as those less |
| 11351s | kind of duelist characters those more |
| 11354s | just early game aggressive characters to |
| 11357s | wait for those players to come out come |
| 11359s | to you and pick up the elimination |
| 11361s | outside the realm of Yang and we've seen |
| 11363s | that shift coming through where players |
| 11365s | are actually not favoring our second set |
| 11368s | of Realms of yang right we see all these |
| 11370s | players fight aggressively to try to get |
| 11373s | in the first set of Realm of Yang and |
| 11375s | then many many of the players just |
| 11376s | opting to avoid the second realm of Yang |
| 11378s | all together because of it so I think as |
| 11381s | we see the meta shift more away from the |
| 11384s | sort of defensive meta and I think |
| 11386s | that's going to happen right we're |
| 11388s | playing on an older patch here of course |
| 11390s | some of these newer patches have really |
| 11392s | kind of uh brought some more of these |
| 11395s | aggression type characters back into the |
| 11397s | meta so we're gonna see less of those |
| 11399s | stall tactics in the realm of Yang as |
| 11402s | The Meta shifts away from it and we just |
| 11404s | give it a straight Mech fight here |
| 11405s | between jdg's jujang and uh gssd225 T225 |
| 11409s | trying to go Airborne trying to keep it |
| 11411s | going here unfortunately wasn't able to |
| 11413s | find anything out of it and Chu Zhang |
| 11415s | able to find a little bit of a reset and |
| 11417s | just aggressively presses on to T225 and |
| 11421s | man that's interesting just to see two |
| 11423s | tooling mechs inside the realm of Yang |
| 11425s | coming through here but Chu Zhang able |
| 11428s | to come out on top and get that |
| 11429s | Vermillion Birds might |
| 11431s | we just as we were talking about the |
| 11434s | stall meta going into those mechs uh |
| 11437s | chusang able to just he plays ranked all |
| 11440s | the time he gets in there he's probably |
| 11441s | grieved a ton able to Edge out 225 by |
| 11445s | winning out the mech battle and just |
| 11446s | absolutely blasting him sending him back |
| 11448s | to the lobby now he has to deal with |
| 11450s | Yang depletion now axon able to use the |
| 11454s | anti-alt zone to his Advantage but Kai |
| 11457s | Bao with the presence of mind to Zone it |
| 11459s | out and get away but it's delaying the |
| 11463s | universe in has his cooldowns he's |
| 11466s | lurking in the shadows looking to take |
| 11468s | down this kill now we're having two of |
| 11469s | the strongest players in the league |
| 11471s | spider making Wang Wang remember that |
| 11474s | you are only good in end game taking him |
| 11477s | down in the mid game denying Wang Lang's |
| 11479s | end game before he can snowball and go |
| 11481s | become an absolute unit now exit looking |
| 11485s | to hold his lead |
| 11487s | showing everyone in the league that he |
| 11489s | is now someone to be feared within |
| 11492s | finals Kai Bao trying to clutch it up |
| 11495s | trying to do it for Rune keeper trying |
| 11497s | to take wolves to the championship he |
| 11500s | still can do it anyone can do it in this |
| 11503s | Lobby these guys are all super skilled |
| 11504s | now choosing |
| 11506s | pressuring Kai Bao looking the party |
| 11509s | third party fourth party choosing double |
| 11513s | buff this is not looking good for kaibao |
| 11515s | being stalked by two buff players with |
| 11518s | two lives now he's in one of the |
| 11520s | infinite kite spots that you can just |
| 11522s | run in circles forever this is one of my |
| 11524s | favorite places to run away if you have |
| 11527s | a bounty on yourself if you get to this |
| 11529s | spot you will never ever die as long as |
| 11532s | you kite effectively now T225 in the |
| 11535s | mech surrounded by gin surrounded by |
| 11539s | spider spider looking to put two two |
| 11542s | five in his web this is where 225 |
| 11544s | struggles in the clutch |
| 11547s | when he has momentum he does super well |
| 11549s | but when he's under pressure you're |
| 11551s | seeing what it looks like when the goat |
| 11553s | is after you the constant pressure of |
| 11556s | spear not letting 225 breathe at all now |
| 11559s | jyn tagging in looking to see what the |
| 11562s | Vibes are looking at just looking for a |
| 11564s | cheeky kill but spider hearing the |
| 11567s | footsteps from behind knowing that he |
| 11569s | doesn't want to over commit to this |
| 11571s | fight knowing that 2-2-5 is a wild beast |
| 11574s | that cannot be contained he will throw |
| 11576s | Blues he will fight back he will go all |
| 11579s | in he is not scared at these moments now |
| 11584s | 225 turning gin into the target but gin |
| 11587s | fighting back getting a big Perry |
| 11589s | slowing down spiders assault spider |
| 11591s | reconsidering his options now 225 not |
| 11594s | afraid to go all in he only has a minute |
| 11597s | and 30 he needs this kill Yang sickness |
| 11599s | is ticking he needs to find some type of |
| 11602s | Leverage he knows this failure can go |
| 11604s | into his smack he doesn't have a Mech |
| 11606s | himself he knows spider is lurking in |
| 11608s | the shadows looking to make him his prey |
| 11611s | now spider chasing two two five with |
| 11614s | only a minute left |
| 11616s | 225 needs to make something happen but |
| 11619s | it's a chunky head shop from the champ |
| 11621s | to Champ takes him down with a huge ball |
| 11625s | shot making two two five look like a |
| 11627s | snack now jyn really testing his limits |
| 11630s | one and see if spider is willing to go |
| 11633s | but some wisely runs away from the goat |
| 11636s | himself |
| 11637s | oh man T225 he ate to see it man he |
| 11640s | really is he he's like a mini spider |
| 11642s | right he's feast or famine the spider |
| 11645s | finally starting to realize by the way |
| 11648s | that he doesn't have to have these All |
| 11650s | or Nothing games he can play consistency |
| 11652s | games and then find his pop-off game |
| 11655s | unfortunately as I say that we see |
| 11657s | wolves Kai pal uh eliminated it from the |
| 11660s | lobby here I'm gonna pour one out for uh |
| 11663s | Teen Wolf over here but uh yeah you know |
| 11666s | it T225 suffering from that same thing |
| 11668s | that spider struggled with for so long |
| 11670s | that feast or famine he's either having |
| 11672s | a really good game and able to carry |
| 11674s | that momentum throughout the day where |
| 11676s | he has bad games wbg spider on the other |
| 11679s | hand who suffered from that for so long |
| 11681s | I feel like learned so much from our |
| 11683s | last bi-weekly final uh because during |
| 11686s | that bi-weekly final instead of being |
| 11688s | feast or famine he was able to find some |
| 11690s | level of consistency in games and |
| 11693s | because of that when he finally had his |
| 11695s | big pop off game that he typically has |
| 11698s | it meant for so much that he was able to |
| 11700s | walk away our bi-weekly champion and |
| 11703s | that's huge for wbg spider it shows the |
| 11706s | level of growth that he's had as uh not |
| 11709s | just a player but as a person as well |
| 11711s | right mental is one of those things |
| 11712s | that's very hard for these players to |
| 11714s | overcome especially for younger players |
| 11717s | like wbg spider it's where younger |
| 11720s | players typically tend to struggle and |
| 11723s | why you see them be this sort of feaster |
| 11725s | famine play style |
| 11726s | speaking of which we're going to see if |
| 11728s | he feasts or famines here as he does |
| 11731s | take the risk of going into our second |
| 11733s | realm of Yang and finds himself head to |
| 11735s | head with jdg's chujang and XU Jiang |
| 11737s | putting in the schmooz on wbg spider |
| 11740s | actually hasn't committed the F hasn't |
| 11743s | committed the pillar we're gonna see the |
| 11744s | pillar or no sorry the F come through |
| 11746s | finally from Chu Zhang the chu Zhang |
| 11748s | wants to keep it going the pillar comes |
| 11750s | down he doesn't get the knockback he's |
| 11751s | looking for and this could be the |
| 11753s | turning point is wbg spider gonna be |
| 11754s | able to get a lot of mileage out of this |
| 11757s | reset Choo Zhang if he tries to go for |
| 11759s | the reset spiders got the cannon to just |
| 11761s | kind of blister him down here he's |
| 11763s | trying to find that reset and spider |
| 11765s | just wants to continue to pump the |
| 11766s | damage out spider hears him go for the |
| 11769s | Cannon Mode and crucially doesn't just |
| 11771s | stand behind the pillar because these |
| 11773s | cannons can still hit not back on the |
| 11775s | pillar though we will see jujang find |
| 11778s | three huge shots as Spider finally comes |
| 11781s | from Airborne is able to catch that |
| 11783s | Airborne shot follow it up with Pete |
| 11787s | stuns on the spider and Chu Zhang able |
| 11790s | to find the victory here spider plays |
| 11793s | this right believe it or not because as |
| 11795s | soon as you hear that Cannon come out |
| 11796s | you do not want to try to hide behind |
| 11798s | the pillar because that cannon with the |
| 11801s | explosion radius can just knock you free |
| 11803s | from the pillar and you end up getting |
| 11805s | multiple shots Spider goes Airborne |
| 11808s | because it's so hard to land those shots |
| 11810s | directly on an Airborne Target as uh |
| 11813s | Faria but Chu Zhang apparently he's got |
| 11816s | to practice he must have been an aim |
| 11818s | trainer this week because he just |
| 11819s | catches spider right out of the sky |
| 11821s | follows up all of the shots immediately |
| 11824s | realizes the opportunity d-mex pressures |
| 11826s | on the spider and picks up the |
| 11828s | elimination we're gonna see the fight go |
| 11830s | back to back here a spider and Chu Zhang |
| 11832s | fighting outside the realm of yang this |
| 11834s | time and spider with that Yang depletion |
| 11837s | jujang has got that Mystic might he's |
| 11839s | got 25 damage reduction he's got his old |
| 11842s | backup this could be an easy elimination |
| 11845s | for Chu Jang if he plays it right right |
| 11847s | doesn't want to play top side here |
| 11849s | though knows there's no old Zone down |
| 11851s | below and this is the right call this is |
| 11853s | going to keep spider from being able to |
| 11855s | use that old unfortunately as he heads |
| 11857s | towards it the no old zone is going to |
| 11859s | go down so now xujang forced to take |
| 11862s | this fight out in the open and wants to |
| 11864s | just keep waiting the timer out here he |
| 11866s | knows spider has Yang depletion and |
| 11869s | spider sees another player and wastes no |
| 11871s | time saying you're just going to run |
| 11873s | away from me and try to get the timer |
| 11874s | out the heck with that xujang I'm gonna |
| 11876s | immediately turn on to another player |
| 11878s | stop chasing you stop wasting my |
| 11880s | resources in my time and try to keep it |
| 11883s | moving Jail's ego doesn't want uh any |
| 11886s | part of this is trying to create some |
| 11888s | Escape as well but it's funny because |
| 11891s | now it's Chu Zhang who's coming back and |
| 11893s | griefing ego and then might buy spider |
| 11895s | the opportunity they needed to pick up |
| 11898s | that Soul Bloom and get back in the game |
| 11901s | continuing to keep the grief onto Jail's |
| 11904s | ego looking for that lockdown with those |
| 11906s | grappling hooks spider wiping the armor |
| 11909s | clean off of ego ego gonna be forced to |
| 11912s | drop the pillar and go into the ultimate |
| 11914s | here and back away from this fight and |
| 11916s | this is pretty optimal for Chu Zhang |
| 11918s | because XU Xiang doesn't want Spider to |
| 11921s | be able to pick up an elimination and |
| 11923s | can just back away from this fight and |
| 11925s | let the barrier Shea here on ego just |
| 11928s | stall out spiders time he doesn't even |
| 11930s | have to kill spider realistically he |
| 11932s | just has to drag this fight out long |
| 11935s | enough to keep spider from picking up |
| 11936s | the elimination ego continues to try to |
| 11939s | get away from this he's found the full |
| 11940s | reset gonna turn around with the cannon |
| 11942s | knows the mech's gonna DMACC soon so |
| 11944s | she's gonna go ahead and back out oug's |
| 11946s | Panda Man shows up and goes on to Ego |
| 11949s | here spider has no choice but to |
| 11952s | continue the chase here and this is a |
| 11954s | risky proposition for spider with how |
| 11956s | many players are showing up he has to |
| 11959s | keep the pressure on he only has a |
| 11960s | minute and 30 seconds he's trying to |
| 11963s | lock onto a Target he wants ego he feels |
| 11967s | like ego is the target for him here but |
| 11970s | we're gonna see Panda man and of course |
| 11972s | jujang continue to grief spider out they |
| 11976s | do not have to win this fight they just |
| 11978s | have to keep spider stalled for long |
| 11981s | enough chuzhang gonna take a hit from |
| 11983s | spider but doesn't care a spider |
| 11985s | continues to try to lock onto ego and |
| 11988s | ego just keeps baiting the fight out |
| 11990s | longer and longer Spider goes in expects |
| 11993s | xujang to throw the blue but he or sorry |
| 11995s | ego to throw the blue but he does not |
| 11997s | and spider just throws a Parry out |
| 11999s | spider down to 52 seconds before Yang |
| 12002s | depletion goes away tries to get the |
| 12004s | read on the ego by going around the |
| 12005s | outside but xujang going to come in and |
| 12007s | yet again keep the grief up on spider |
| 12009s | here he knows he doesn't have to win the |
| 12011s | fight 40 seconds for spider but spider |
| 12014s | able to catch an uppercut combo might be |
| 12015s | able to find what he's looking for |
| 12017s | unfortunately XU Jang has the mech and |
| 12020s | can just continue to stall this fight |
| 12022s | out we're gonna see for the first time |
| 12025s | ever a zip thing going to lose to their |
| 12028s | own stall matter not able to find what |
| 12032s | they're looking for 20 seconds left on |
| 12033s | the board and spider is no closer to an |
| 12035s | elimination than he was when he came out |
| 12038s | the realm of Yang with four minutes to |
| 12040s | spare spider realizes what's going on |
| 12042s | tries to go for the Zone doesn't want to |
| 12045s | give the elimination to Chu Zhang but |
| 12046s | Chu Zhang now able just to keep the |
| 12048s | pressure up spider taking so much damage |
| 12051s | runs for the Zone Chu Zhang will pick up |
| 12054s | the elimination from the Yang depletion |
| 12056s | and wbg spider gets griefed to death by |
| 12060s | jdg's choosing |
| 12063s | oh my goodness choosing with the |
| 12067s | absolute domination on spider spider |
| 12070s | literally dying to his ego chasing ego |
| 12073s | around but going in that second Yang |
| 12076s | with a huge Advantage was super |
| 12078s | egotistical by spider knowing that this |
| 12081s | was a heavy fairy a Lobby and that Chu |
| 12083s | Zhang seems I I about all the players |
| 12086s | I've watched throughout these NP pill in |
| 12088s | the past few weeks XU Zhang has the best |
| 12090s | fairy of match-up he does he handles the |
| 12093s | turret perfectly he doesn't over commit |
| 12095s | and he gets out of it now true thanks |
| 12098s | showing why ranked demons are ranked |
| 12100s | demons hitting ego with the infinite |
| 12102s | nunchuck grapple combo you hate to see |
| 12105s | it every character has Touch of deaths |
| 12107s | but choosing showing an absolute |
| 12109s | Surgical Clinic that this guy is playing |
| 12112s | Super optimal no room for mistakes |
| 12116s | knowing that spider had his buff spider |
| 12118s | ends up chasing choosing and choosing |
| 12121s | with the presence of Mind knowing it's |
| 12122s | fine here and it's one of his most |
| 12124s | difficult competitions just ices him off |
| 12127s | and spaces him out and spider ends up |
| 12129s | having to to choose a different Target |
| 12132s | choosing absolutely stalls out and |
| 12135s | decimates spider's strategy there with |
| 12138s | almost zero risk of dying now Panda man |
| 12142s | on the rare rare he's like a fish out of |
| 12146s | water on a Mac you just never see |
| 12148s | panaman on these defensive characters |
| 12150s | he's just known for his |
| 12153s | heavy heavy offensive play oh man and |
| 12156s | panaman in a bush you hate to see it now |
| 12159s | accent looking around |
| 12161s | on his Matari this is uh this is one of |
| 12165s | the mistakes I would say some of these |
| 12166s | players are making playing Matari into |
| 12169s | these heavy defensive characters you're |
| 12171s | not getting that assassination bonus |
| 12173s | leading into these end games your |
| 12175s | transitional horsepower to solidify |
| 12177s | these kills all these characters have |
| 12179s | essentially second lives zippings heal |
| 12181s | it hurt V1 end up getting buffed last |
| 12183s | patch so it heals for a billion and |
| 12186s | fairy is V3 Mech being a instant I win |
| 12189s | neutral button and a second life |
| 12192s | I don't see X in really getting a ton of |
| 12195s | value off this pick even though he's |
| 12197s | gotten some good kills off spawn but in |
| 12200s | this end game he's it's gonna end pretty |
| 12203s | soon |
| 12205s | 's action here you also got to keep in |
| 12207s | mind he's got three eliminations under |
| 12208s | his belt we talked about that average |
| 12210s | being three to five he just needs to |
| 12212s | play Survival at this point right |
| 12215s | yeah of course it's just surviving when |
| 12218s | Feria and zippings are all around |
| 12219s | there's five people in the lobby it's |
| 12223s | probably going to heal off because no |
| 12224s | one can has enough horsepower to get a |
| 12227s | really kill maybe you poke one of these |
| 12229s | farias down but these fairies since it's |
| 12231s | a zipping Lobby we're able to scale |
| 12233s | inside the realm of Yang now Jin with |
| 12236s | his buff his 20 reduction ends up taking |
| 12240s | a big bow shot but he's going to be able |
| 12242s | to go into his Mech he's played so |
| 12244s | greedy though and doesn't go in his neck |
| 12246s | and ends up taking a huge L from all |
| 12249s | these range attacks just |
| 12252s | not going into the mech I can't believe |
| 12254s | he doesn't go in that was just such a |
| 12256s | big misplay he tries to use his Mech to |
| 12259s | dodge the shots and use it as a pillar |
| 12261s | to line a sight but the lob at this |
| 12263s | level these guys do not miss the Crouch |
| 12265s | dance everyone at this level is starting |
| 12268s | to hit these shots you're seeing a level |
| 12270s | of perfection that we did not see in the |
| 12272s | previous seasons of naraka it's really a |
| 12274s | beautiful sight to see roomkeeper |
| 12277s | oh yeah I mean absolutely this is |
| 12279s | something uh during my brief stint as a |
| 12281s | coach that I really mentioned to a lot |
| 12283s | of these players was the need to go do |
| 12286s | some aim trainer yes naraka blade point |
| 12288s | is a melee BR but when you're talking |
| 12291s | about competitive Pro level play being |
| 12294s | able to very quickly hot swap to a range |
| 12296s | weapon and land those shots is so |
| 12300s | important |
| 12301s | you're gonna be able to clean up so many |
| 12302s | eliminations and remove threats from |
| 12304s | Lobby |
| 12305s | at the snap of your finger because of |
| 12308s | how quick those projectiles can come out |
| 12311s | given what weapon you're rocking we |
| 12313s | actually saw this uh last week a lot xcg |
| 12316s | almost every time we turn to them one of |
| 12319s | their players had a musket with uh I |
| 12322s | believe it was armor Pierce and slow |
| 12324s | shot they were cleaning players up left |
| 12327s | and right and they never had to make |
| 12329s | their team a Target because they were |
| 12331s | cleaning up players without having to |
| 12333s | use their monk transformation at range |
| 12335s | because the musket was just picking up |
| 12337s | the eliminations at range and they |
| 12339s | literally just kind of go into the final |
| 12340s | Circle always have alts available to |
| 12342s | themselves and because those rain shots |
| 12345s | are able to clean up the kills they |
| 12347s | don't have to worry about forcing those |
| 12349s | olds to get the eliminations that |
| 12351s | they're looking for we're gonna see Shen |
| 12352s | you on here using that two knots Old |
| 12354s | Jade he's at full health here but |
| 12357s | clearly wants to have that buff heading |
| 12359s | into the next uh set of this map because |
| 12361s | we are getting ready to have zone six |
| 12363s | claps on to zone seven and this is where |
| 12365s | things are going to get a little bit |
| 12366s | tighter for all of these players four |
| 12368s | players left alive here at Jason's |
| 12369s | action Luigi's panaman battle Shen Yuan |
| 12371s | and of course jdg xujang Chu Jiang man |
| 12373s | the the fight into wbg spider like we |
| 12377s | said we talked about it and then almost |
| 12380s | as if to prove our Point uh you know the |
| 12383s | fact that these players are have been |
| 12385s | opting not to take the second realm of |
| 12388s | Yang because of how risky it is in the |
| 12391s | traditional in the transition phase from |
| 12394s | the end of mid game into the start of |
| 12396s | late game and we see wbg spider even |
| 12399s | though he has five eliminations under |
| 12400s | his belt the last thing he should be |
| 12402s | doing is taking the risk of taking that |
| 12405s | realm of Yang because he already has the |
| 12407s | eliminations he just needs to take them |
| 12408s | to late game unfortunately he decides to |
| 12411s | it does not pay off in his favor and |
| 12413s | it's Chu Zhang who like literally |
| 12415s | capitalizes on it so hard he's able to |
| 12418s | just burn out wbg's fighter and keep him |
| 12421s | from being able to pick up an |
| 12422s | elimination by griefing him for the full |
| 12425s | duration of that gang depletion we're |
| 12426s | going to see here oh geez Panda man |
| 12428s | gonna become the target of the lobby is |
| 12430s | multiple range shots ring out onto Panda |
| 12432s | man look at this panaman every single |
| 12434s | time he stops to take an attack onto the |
| 12436s | other player top side he just gets bowed |
| 12439s | down in the back unfortunately another |
| 12442s | bow shot from Chu Zhang tujang gonna go |
| 12444s | to Five eliminations right now and just |
| 12446s | cleaned up Panda man that was so |
| 12449s | unfortunate he tried to get the armor |
| 12451s | down to protect him from those rain |
| 12453s | shots could not find it in time as Chu |
| 12456s | Zhang keeps the pressure strong and this |
| 12460s | is what we were talking about XU Xiang |
| 12462s | excels at keeping the pressure up on |
| 12465s | players never letting them have a moment |
| 12468s | to breathe no matter what it is that |
| 12470s | they're doing and look at this because |
| 12472s | he's used those ranged weapons he's not |
| 12475s | the target J team's action is fighting |
| 12477s | shenyu on Chu Zhang able to just sit |
| 12479s | here take a full reset relax action |
| 12482s | looks like he might be out of armor pots |
| 12484s | he was in a situation he could have |
| 12485s | easily really healed the armor up that |
| 12488s | he had there but unfortunately he |
| 12490s | doesn't seem to have those armor pots to |
| 12492s | make that happen oh he's gonna go in |
| 12494s | onto the body gonna find some armor |
| 12496s | powders though and gonna look to finally |
| 12499s | find a little bit of a reset here for |
| 12501s | himself and this is uh we Jake calls it |
| 12504s | the uh the buccaneer phase right as |
| 12507s | we're heading from mid game into late |
| 12508s | game we see all of these players really |
| 12510s | start to heavily poke each other down |
| 12512s | and if you haven't played in a |
| 12514s | tournament at this level especially if |
| 12516s | you haven't touched a mortal War it |
| 12518s | might seem confusing to you because most |
| 12520s | players typically feel like they almost |
| 12522s | have this infinite reservoir of |
| 12525s | resources or pots to themselves but in |
| 12527s | the Mortal War loot is very very scarce |
| 12531s | for these players right and especially |
| 12533s | as you head into late game most of the |
| 12536s | places these circles are going to |
| 12537s | collapse on the map have already been |
| 12539s | looted there's not going to be this sort |
| 12540s | of option or I guess I should say a box |
| 12543s | conveniently nearby where you can buy |
| 12545s | buy resources for these players going |
| 12548s | into these late games the only place |
| 12550s | they're going to find them are on bodies |
| 12552s | and we'll see Jay transaction just |
| 12553s | chilling Airborne he's just trying to |
| 12555s | buy out the time but xujang gonna armor |
| 12557s | up top side keeps himself in the zone |
| 12560s | comes down and decides he just needs to |
| 12561s | put some pressure on get her hit onto |
| 12563s | anybody gonna pick it up onto eggs and |
| 12565s | there's nothing Shen Yuan can do into |
| 12567s | this oh my goodness Choo Zhang gonna go |
| 12571s | to seven eliminations in the first place |
| 12573s | finish this is gonna be a huge game for |
| 12576s | jdging |
| 12578s | he plays this game absolutely perfectly |
| 12582s | you can keep her from taking out the |
| 12584s | goat himself spider to playing this end |
| 12586s | game perfectly you were saying that this |
| 12588s | Buccaneer mode what all these other |
| 12590s | players were doing they were starving |
| 12592s | chuzang was playing a Siege game I call |
| 12594s | these defensive lobbies every daytime |
| 12595s | with fireflies Siege lobbies that it's |
| 12598s | all about burning your opponent's |
| 12600s | resources and being the last one last |
| 12603s | one to drown and Feria she's just the |
| 12605s | battleship ship and end game she just |
| 12607s | survives over all the damage she has |
| 12609s | something to line a side with she can |
| 12611s | make you lobbied and all in you you just |
| 12613s | don't want to poke the bear and choosing |
| 12615s | plays a such a perfect game able to use |
| 12618s | his bow to Perfection able to get giant |
| 12621s | hits that actually matter too many |
| 12622s | players do a lot of heavy lifting for |
| 12624s | other players but Shu Zhang uses every |
| 12627s | resource around him every single ability |
| 12630s | you saw showcase that she was that used |
| 12632s | the future is super bright for these new |
| 12635s | competitors like shoes like like |
| 12636s | everyone talks about about Mike talks |
| 12639s | about spider talks about T225 but |
| 12641s | chuzang has been on my radar and out of |
| 12643s | all the players that I watch povs off I |
| 12645s | always have choosing's POV onto the side |
| 12648s | and as the weeks go on he gets better |
| 12651s | and better in that game if you want to |
| 12653s | know how to play fairy yet just go back |
| 12655s | and re-watch choose eggs decision making |
| 12657s | in every step of the way when he's |
| 12659s | defensive it's smart when he's offensive |
| 12662s | it's smart when he's not doing |
| 12663s | everything it's smart but he's always |
| 12665s | active he's always has his Destiny in |
| 12668s | his hands he's always looking to take |
| 12670s | advantage of every little bit that he |
| 12672s | can ego ends up being his Pawn to take |
| 12675s | down spider normally spider probably |
| 12677s | beats choosing but spider gets a little |
| 12680s | bit overconfident to his own |
| 12682s | optimize and goes in the Yang that's |
| 12684s | what I was saying is like you can't go |
| 12685s | into Yang when you see a bunch of |
| 12687s | fairies in your lobby it's either Thai |
| 12690s | or lose like you can't beat her she's |
| 12692s | going to stall you out and he perfectly |
| 12695s | pokes him to get a three-charge turn |
| 12697s | hits him with the three piece gives him |
| 12699s | the family meal gets out of Mech and |
| 12701s | kicks him straight back to the Yang |
| 12703s | depletion and then follows up with fully |
| 12706s | humiliating spider and complete defeat |
| 12708s | takes us all of his clothes off takes |
| 12710s | all of his loot off and runs into the |
| 12713s | the shadow in pure defeat like a spider |
| 12717s | has to be reeling and like thinking |
| 12719s | about how choosing completely outplayed |
| 12722s | him in this situation |
| 12724s | oh yeah and I mean look the thing is the |
| 12727s | spider tried to make all the right |
| 12728s | decisions right like I said as soon as |
| 12730s | he hears the armor come up he goes |
| 12732s | airborne right it's very hard for |
| 12734s | fairies to land those shots but again |
| 12736s | chujang's got to have been training on |
| 12738s | those range shots because he's able to |
| 12740s | catch him out of the air just follow him |
| 12742s | up give him the three piece and I I |
| 12743s | misspoke it's six eliminations not seven |
| 12746s | but still a 13.6 game uh for Chu Zhang |
| 12750s | wbg spider has five eliminations takes a |
| 12753s | third place finish off the back of a 7.5 |
| 12755s | J team's action not a bad performance |
| 12757s | here JT's action |
| 12759s | at the top of the leaderboard he can |
| 12761s | kind of Glide his way through these next |
| 12763s | two games because he picks up an eight |
| 12765s | game score here realistically even if |
| 12767s | action has two zero point games |
| 12769s | he's still gonna be top five uh top at |
| 12773s | the end of this and that's exactly where |
| 12776s | you want to be going into these |
| 12777s | bi-weekly finals uh we kind of talked |
| 12779s | about uh this a little bit in trios but |
| 12782s | a lot of these teams kind of saving |
| 12784s | themselves if you will uh for the |
| 12787s | performance in the bigger stages |
| 12790s | ug being one of the teams that seems to |
| 12792s | be pioneering this they'll play not |
| 12794s | passively during the week but they play |
| 12796s | Just for consistency they're always |
| 12798s | looking to sneak into that first and you |
| 12801s | know that second third or fourth place |
| 12803s | finish give just enough points so that |
| 12805s | they guarantee they qualify for the |
| 12807s | bi-weekly final and then they go and |
| 12809s | play their mind out in the bi-weekly |
| 12811s | final it's like they're saving it all up |
| 12812s | they're keeping that energy they don't |
| 12814s | want to overextend and exhaust |
| 12816s | themselves taking a look here by the way |
| 12818s | at how powerful the parries off the |
| 12820s | nunchucks are this is something you and |
| 12822s | me have talked about a lot today just |
| 12824s | the ability to clean up that repost |
| 12826s | doing so much damage and being so safe |
| 12828s | for the nunchucks and then of course you |
| 12831s | have such a good follow-up this is |
| 12832s | insane that sort of grapple into uh |
| 12835s | infinity with the nunchucks we talked |
| 12837s | about here where it's very hard to |
| 12839s | escape this right you have to almost |
| 12841s | know how to stand up into that blue |
| 12845s | frame to get away from it but on low |
| 12847s | latency loping like we have here in the |
| 12849s | mbpl it's very hard to time that out as |
| 12853s | fast as those nunchucks Hits come |
| 12854s | through and of course we're seeing two |
| 12856s | Zhang here do exactly what fairy Shades |
| 12858s | do uh in the final Circle just able to |
| 12861s | completely live uh through the damage |
| 12863s | kit coming through after transforming up |
| 12865s | into the mech and we are gonna see our |
| 12867s | MVP of course B uh Chu Zhang here for |
| 12871s | jdg with 19 |
| 12873s | 000 damage and six eliminations |
| 12877s | [Music] |
| 12878s | absolutely dominating this lobby with |
| 12881s | almost 20K damage choosing was active |
| 12884s | the entire time dictating the pace of |
| 12886s | the lobby a lot of the times when you |
| 12889s | get the kill lead in the lobby and you |
| 12891s | get to scale up more than anyone else |
| 12892s | having these really really strong Jades |
| 12895s | having a good weapon if you if instead |
| 12897s | of hiding and taking the opportunity to |
| 12900s | dictate the pace of the lobby choosing |
| 12902s | who gets lobbied using the buff |
| 12904s | perfectly not over committing you're |
| 12906s | seeing an expert master class from |
| 12908s | choosing and he made spider look lost |
| 12912s | like his spider was completely broken by |
| 12914s | chuzang's play this Lobby |
| 12917s | it's every whoever is choosing coaches |
| 12920s | definitely prepared him perfectly for |
| 12923s | this daytime day in these defensive |
| 12925s | lobbies it's all about outlasting your |
| 12928s | opponent now the cool thing about Feria |
| 12930s | instead of zipping you get this really |
| 12933s | really interesting fighting and unlike |
| 12935s | zipping where you have this shield and |
| 12937s | you're able to just run away over and |
| 12939s | over and you just see like holding Blue |
| 12940s | camping with nunchucks in the past fairy |
| 12943s | at least has like a Goomba stomp you can |
| 12945s | just like drop something on their head |
| 12946s | hit them and then you get these Rock'em |
| 12948s | sock'em robots able to jump up and down |
| 12950s | especially with like the the new skins |
| 12953s | with Feria with the cyberpunk and the |
| 12956s | super kawaii outfit like it is really |
| 12959s | amazing that naraka to this day keeps |
| 12961s | adding new characters that are actually |
| 12963s | really interesting and I'd say out of |
| 12964s | all the metas I've played and I've been |
| 12966s | playing since the rocket beginning every |
| 12968s | single tournament this is probably the |
| 12970s | most balanced meta that we've seen in |
| 12972s | naraka there there are certain |
| 12973s | characters that have a little bit of |
| 12974s | edge but it's not so one-sided where |
| 12977s | it's like only one strategy winning |
| 12979s | you're seeing multiple strategies on the |
| 12981s | biggest stage work so if you're looking |
| 12983s | again competitive now is the time there |
| 12986s | is no better meta than this one any |
| 12988s | character can kind of work in this meta |
| 12990s | yeah I have to absolutely agree this is |
| 12992s | something I talked about uh when Feria |
| 12995s | kind of came out I feel like on release |
| 12998s | she was the most balanced hero uh that |
| 13001s | we've seen added to the game right |
| 13003s | typically we've either seen Heroes come |
| 13005s | in that are extremely overpowered or |
| 13008s | extremely underpowered and need to be |
| 13010s | buffed uh a lot up on release I mean |
| 13013s | akos being one of those Heroes that came |
| 13014s | in kind of underpowered almost |
| 13016s | immediately uh we see a patch come |
| 13018s | through and kind of Rectify uh the power |
| 13021s | scaling on akos but fairy ashay when |
| 13023s | she's added to the game finds herself in |
| 13026s | a very good place uh we do see a little |
| 13029s | bit of meta where they're able to kind |
| 13030s | of abuse the uh pillar uh on the V3 when |
| 13034s | the V3 finally gets added to the game |
| 13036s | but of course that wasn't there during |
| 13038s | release |
| 13040s | um but she really does bring so many |
| 13042s | interesting interactions to the game uh |
| 13045s | she shook up the Transformer metal we |
| 13047s | kind of see |
| 13048s | um that uh Pacific Rim meta that we we |
| 13050s | like to call it where it's Monk and |
| 13052s | Feria and the fact that the monk can |
| 13054s | kind of hop into the giant Mech after he |
| 13057s | de-transforms he's adding this whole new |
| 13060s | layer to how these Transformer comps |
| 13062s | interact with one another and how they |
| 13065s | interact with other teams as well |
| 13068s | um temi being added to that comp as well |
| 13070s | and then just again in solos she comes |
| 13072s | in and she's a hero that we all knew off |
| 13075s | the rip okay she's gonna be good in |
| 13076s | trios and then she finds her place in |
| 13078s | solos she's very good in solos but she's |
| 13080s | not so domineering that she takes entire |
| 13084s | control of the meta and we love to see |
| 13086s | that man taking a look here at XU Jiang |
| 13088s | xujang looks really happy right now |
| 13090s | typically we cut to Chu Zhang and he's |
| 13092s | kind of got this I don't I don't call it |
| 13094s | a dead look but he's got a stoic look on |
| 13096s | his face but if you look he's got the |
| 13098s | the little smile in the corner of his |
| 13101s | mouth he knows what he just did to wbg |
| 13103s | spider and I'd be willing to bet he pops |
| 13106s | off again next game if I did that to one |
| 13109s | of the Front Runners of the league the |
| 13111s | player that everybody you know talks |
| 13114s | about and he does spider absolutely |
| 13117s | dirty not only does he win the realm of |
| 13118s | Yang fight but then the ability to for |
| 13121s | four minutes keep spider from being able |
| 13124s | to lock down a single player whatsoever |
| 13126s | and then forces him to die to Yang |
| 13129s | depletion man that's gotta feel so good |
| 13132s | for a player like shujang |
| 13135s | yeah you would definitely choosing to |
| 13137s | see that he is feeling himself and when |
| 13140s | you have spider like top players are |
| 13143s | extremely salty about running it back |
| 13145s | they remember every single fight they |
| 13147s | get in it's almost like chess players |
| 13149s | where they remember a certain sequence |
| 13151s | like I I've talked to try hard before |
| 13152s | and if you ever kill him he remembers it |
| 13154s | if there's a boss somewhere he remembers |
| 13157s | every single decision that you make and |
| 13159s | all these young players especially at |
| 13161s | the highest level these guys remember |
| 13163s | exactly what you did to them and they're |
| 13165s | ready to run it back and get theirs |
| 13167s | again I'm excited to see like this is |
| 13169s | one of my favorite logs to see having |
| 13171s | Fong 225 Mike spider the big |
| 13175s | heavyweights go at it and still like the |
| 13177s | crowd favorites like Panda man Wang Ling |
| 13179s | in there the only person that's missing |
| 13181s | from this Lobby that would make this |
| 13183s | Lobby even more hype is demo we need a |
| 13185s | little bit of demo in here and I I still |
| 13188s | I'm betting Rune keeper I have an |
| 13190s | ongoing bed where do you think demo lies |
| 13192s | I have him in the top five |
| 13193s | what do you think all right he's very |
| 13196s | close to being shoved out of the top |
| 13198s | five right now um so I don't know what |
| 13201s | do you think |
| 13202s | in finals uh are we talking the |
| 13206s | bi-weekly final or are we talking about |
| 13208s | the weekly oh in the bi-weekly final I |
| 13211s | mean |
| 13212s | demos shown a lot of improvement coming |
| 13215s | in as a player I think he still has some |
| 13216s | work to do uh he's kind of got his |
| 13218s | consistency unlocked now right I think |
| 13221s | uh this first week is gonna be a |
| 13224s | struggle for him in the bi-weekly finals |
| 13226s | I'm kind of placing him in top eight |
| 13228s | which is not a bad place to be your |
| 13231s | first time coming in because yes he's |
| 13233s | played against a lot of these players in |
| 13235s | the CN uh servers right but he's done it |
| 13238s | at high ping he's got a lot of adjusting |
| 13241s | to do coming to the finals if he can't |
| 13244s | find the big pop-off game that he's |
| 13246s | looking for on top of his consistency |
| 13248s | games |
| 13249s | he's going to kind of struggle uh to |
| 13252s | keep up with some of these other players |
| 13253s | who can always play consistently |
| 13256s | and then find those big pop-off moments |
| 13258s | but demo is a player is very very |
| 13260s | capable I think he's he'll be able to do |
| 13263s | it I just don't know if he's going to be |
| 13264s | able to do it in this first week because |
| 13267s | of it being such a big adjustment period |
| 13270s | for him that said I'm still extremely |
| 13272s | proud of Deemo as a player coming in |
| 13274s | after watching his struggle uh in the |
| 13278s | world championship because I know he did |
| 13280s | not have the performance that he wanted |
| 13282s | to have in Worlds to see him come back |
| 13285s | his first week in the nbpl now that he's |
| 13289s | here he's playing for team KZ and it |
| 13291s | performs so well and so consistent |
| 13295s | consistency is the thing that so many of |
| 13297s | these players struggle to find that's a |
| 13300s | huge foundation for demo I think if you |
| 13302s | can build off of that Foundation he's |
| 13304s | easily going to find himself being one |
| 13306s | of the top players in the league |
| 13309s | the ah kind words you got for DMO I |
| 13312s | believe in him I think uh it is |
| 13314s | different playing for top three what |
| 13315s | we're seeing in this weekly for those of |
| 13317s | you don't know uh there is still |
| 13319s | incentive for all these players to |
| 13320s | continue making points because you take |
| 13321s | a percentage of that into finals uh but |
| 13324s | the top 14 and I'm qualifying and like |
| 13326s | roomkeeper was saying before some of |
| 13328s | these players might be keeping some |
| 13330s | cheeky strategies some counter play and |
| 13332s | we're seeing a little bit of |
| 13333s | experimentation gin on the rare Viper |
| 13336s | pick you almost never see Viper ning |
| 13339s | inside competitive play she struggles |
| 13341s | with survivability and unfortunately she |
| 13344s | ends up getting taken down by Fong with |
| 13346s | that deadly dagger |
| 13350s | what do you think what do you think he's |
| 13352s | trying to accomplish with this Viper |
| 13353s | Room Keeper |
| 13355s | so I'm not sure which version of |
| 13356s | abilities he's running here if I was |
| 13358s | personally going to run Viper into solos |
| 13360s | believe it or not I would actually run |
| 13362s | the V3 the silence coming in from the V3 |
| 13365s | if you're able to lock an opponent down |
| 13367s | and start winning the fight and hit them |
| 13369s | with the silence before somebody like uh |
| 13372s | efaria can get to their Mac or the |
| 13374s | zipping is able to get their bubble out |
| 13376s | you actually just lock them in this |
| 13378s | position where oh hey I'm losing neutral |
| 13381s | and I don't have any tools to take |
| 13383s | neutral back and you very quickly kind |
| 13385s | of hit and run some of those players and |
| 13388s | make something happen unfortunately for |
| 13390s | alliance's gin here he spawns directly |
| 13393s | next into Fang doesn't find armor and |
| 13395s | Fang not only finds armor but also finds |
| 13398s | a blue dagger and that's exactly the |
| 13400s | position Fang wants to be in early game |
| 13402s | and I think any other player would have |
| 13404s | struggled just as hard to make anything |
| 13406s | happen uh into Fang given the same |
| 13408s | circumstances but I think the Viper it's |
| 13412s | an interesting pick that I've wanted to |
| 13415s | C experimented with in solos simply |
| 13417s | because of the silence and the thing is |
| 13420s | is you need to be a player that has a |
| 13423s | very strong command of neutral to make |
| 13426s | it work but if you can make it work you |
| 13429s | can absolutely lock players down and you |
| 13432s | play it in this early to mid game sort |
| 13435s | of cycle right you're looking to be |
| 13437s | somebody who wins fights early to mid |
| 13439s | game outside the realm of Yang puts |
| 13441s | those points on the board and then just |
| 13443s | survives to late game the big problem |
| 13445s | being that when you're experimenting |
| 13447s | like this and you're the only Viper in |
| 13449s | the lobby keeping track of you if you |
| 13452s | get low is so easy to do you know when |
| 13455s | you're in a Lobby full of Z things or a |
| 13458s | Lobby full of mataris and you're a |
| 13459s | Matari or zipping and you break line of |
| 13462s | sight sometimes it's hard to keep track |
| 13464s | of you just because you turn around and |
| 13466s | there's three other zippings there and |
| 13468s | for these guys they're seeing the same |
| 13470s | Cosmetics across the board wbg spider |
| 13472s | here actually Landing a massive Parry |
| 13474s | into dragons might super clean he's able |
| 13476s | to pick up the elimination on the AWS |
| 13478s | Mike he's got to be happy about that |
| 13479s | trying to turn it around on to kaibao |
| 13482s | um |
| 13483s | sorry backs to what I was saying though |
| 13485s | I think Viper part has potential to find |
| 13488s | themselves into the meta but it's going |
| 13490s | to be on very specific players who just |
| 13492s | have a strong command of that neutral |
| 13494s | Raven |
| 13497s | true um especially like this is one of |
| 13500s | the things I was talking about as far as |
| 13501s | neutral that when these defensive |
| 13503s | players like on daytime holler very |
| 13505s | spread out one of the tricks that I've |
| 13507s | been seeing a lot of the the really |
| 13509s | really strong neutral players is that |
| 13511s | you just need a little bit of horsepower |
| 13513s | to take down zippings and now you're |
| 13515s | seeing spider uh coming out with the |
| 13518s | Tarka on traditionally a situation that |
| 13520s | you don't really see these bursting |
| 13522s | characters even to the point where he's |
| 13524s | using Fireball and it's it's v25 he's |
| 13526s | still on multiple pumpkins at this |
| 13528s | kaibao at kaibao and because they're all |
| 13532s | these zippings running around you have |
| 13534s | to run into a Tarka inside Yang where |
| 13536s | Tarka is super dominant he only Falls |
| 13538s | victim to isolated plays now spider |
| 13542s | not having the traditional F1 on Tarka |
| 13545s | but kaibal showing spider what his |
| 13548s | neutral is about but Strider able to get |
| 13550s | land a combo extension with the fireball |
| 13552s | making absolutely decimating kaibel with |
| 13555s | the clutch Fireball being super hard to |
| 13558s | play it's just |
| 13560s | spider but making it look super easy I'm |
| 13562s | excited to see what spider does inside |
| 13564s | Yang and hopefully he makes it the end |
| 13566s | game with that fireball now ego also |
| 13569s | taking on to this strategy Tarka on this |
| 13572s | defensive round finding gin now this |
| 13574s | Tarka really beat Viper no he actually |
| 13577s | doesn't this is one of the reasons that |
| 13578s | fireball is actually really good F1 ends |
| 13581s | up getting countered by vipers silence |
| 13584s | you you press F1 and you end up just |
| 13586s | getting a free Tech Viper just gets a |
| 13588s | free Tech Chase because you're not able |
| 13590s | to defend yourself now xxy with a pick |
| 13594s | in my opinion that is very troll Yodo |
| 13597s | super countered by Tarka super counted |
| 13600s | by zipping he when you're the only |
| 13602s | character inside the game it is very |
| 13605s | easy to get picked from the pack and |
| 13607s | with all these players knowing exactly |
| 13609s | who the big threat is uh they're gonna |
| 13611s | see this Yodo and they're gonna know |
| 13612s | it's xxy so she uses her own she's not |
| 13615s | going to be able to disappear into the |
| 13616s | crowd she's gonna have to play this |
| 13618s | super super safe in order to survive |
| 13619s | drive this Lobby of piranhas and sharks |
| 13622s | the second she starts bleeding these |
| 13624s | players are going to get her out of here |
| 13625s | especially the tarkas with with spiders |
| 13628s | Fireball on deck and F1 able to counter |
| 13631s | yodo's F3 this is a really tough pick to |
| 13634s | make work but xxy is going to attempt to |
| 13637s | do it fighting attacker ends up getting |
| 13638s | punched for it but able to break the |
| 13640s | combo since she has |
| 13643s | the advantage of armor it looks like |
| 13645s | she's willing to poke and see what this |
| 13647s | is about but she ends up choosing the |
| 13649s | wiser option ending the stall looking to |
| 13651s | get to an end game waiting for everyone |
| 13653s | to get into Yang and one of the big |
| 13656s | advantages of Yodo is actually she's |
| 13659s | able to play for boxes using her F3 to |
| 13661s | guard it as she loots up the boxes in |
| 13663s | the end of the scale but it looks like |
| 13664s | xxy is very happy of where he's at now |
| 13667s | Mike someone not happy where he's at |
| 13669s | wants to always get in he's looking to |
| 13672s | get into Yang he doesn't care that there |
| 13674s | are tarkas Mike Mike's entrance into |
| 13677s | Yang is one of the highest in the league |
| 13680s | only uh compared to 225 both of them |
| 13683s | always go in the Yang and they have |
| 13685s | around a 50 win rate they're just always |
| 13688s | willing to flip it that was that's what |
| 13689s | makes them so exciting to watch now |
| 13691s | spider the goat as well as Fong having |
| 13693s | the highest win rates in Yang almost at |
| 13695s | 80 percent these guys are extremely |
| 13697s | calculated When It Go comes to going in |
| 13699s | the Yang spiders with the counter pick |
| 13701s | of Tarka not having the the gamer finger |
| 13704s | to get in with the e but finds Mike this |
| 13706s | is the matchup I love to see spider |
| 13708s | versus Mike the two best fighters inside |
| 13711s | the league Mike running into Zone hoping |
| 13713s | that spider is not willing to follow but |
| 13715s | spider does not care he's willing to go |
| 13717s | all in he's willing to take out the zip |
| 13719s | and he does have Fireball but Mike able |
| 13721s | to get the armor swap one of the best |
| 13724s | armor swappers in the league remembering |
| 13726s | every single armor but spider using this |
| 13728s | Fireball perfectly chipping down Mike's |
| 13730s | Health Mike's heel trying to pick him up |
| 13733s | ends up picking up a bigger heel but |
| 13735s | he's under a ton of pressure using his |
| 13737s | instant scale rush to make a little bit |
| 13739s | of space but spider one of the best aims |
| 13740s | of the week's league as well using his |
| 13742s | bow not letting |
| 13745s | might go this Tower in the zone Mike can |
| 13748s | only kite for so long before he has to |
| 13750s | go back to the Zone able to throw in r b |
| 13752s | but ends up getting bonked in the head |
| 13754s | and spider picks up a critical kill on |
| 13756s | his rival letting everyone know that |
| 13758s | just cause he got outplayed last Lobby |
| 13761s | does not mean he will be outplayed this |
| 13762s | Lobby this is what Champions are made |
| 13764s | out of now choosing one of the new |
| 13768s | players in the league trying to cement |
| 13770s | himself as one of the Premier players in |
| 13773s | the league he's looking for that raise |
| 13774s | he's looking to show all these top |
| 13776s | players that they're not Immortal shoes |
| 13778s | ain't playing this is one of actually |
| 13780s | the best places for Ontario to play |
| 13782s | because of all the threat of the |
| 13784s | ballista he's able to she's able to |
| 13786s | actually Dodge a lot of this threat now |
| 13788s | gin on viper I'm curious to see if he |
| 13791s | can make this pit work now the problem |
| 13793s | with Viper when she gets lobbied how |
| 13795s | does she survive |
| 13797s | she looks like she actually has the buff |
| 13800s | so she's able to all in one of these |
| 13801s | players |
| 13802s | now Matari being one of the biggest |
| 13804s | counters Wang Lange not having a great |
| 13807s | day ends up getting taken down by the |
| 13808s | double charge gin now showing everyone |
| 13811s | that vibrate might be viable and The |
| 13814s | Meta ends up silencing kaibao but kaibao |
| 13816s | with the brutal weapon swap combo ends |
| 13819s | up taking jyn down but it doesn't matter |
| 13821s | he has another Riz now a third party |
| 13823s | coming in Shen you on not having the |
| 13826s | same amount of impact this day but he's |
| 13829s | still staying active he's still looking |
| 13831s | for kills finding this weak Target Kai |
| 13833s | Bao though just decimating his last |
| 13836s | topic Target with the staff and pole |
| 13839s | sword combo ends up forcing the ferry |
| 13841s | away not wanting the smoke and abs happy |
| 13844s | to Alpha his Loot and scale up looking |
| 13847s | to play some end game |
| 13848s | this is this is one of my favorite |
| 13850s | things and why I was a Viper main for a |
| 13853s | while Viper forces you because she |
| 13856s | doesn't have these extrenuous tools in |
| 13858s | her kit to just Escape these sort of |
| 13861s | situations where you find yourself on |
| 13863s | the back foot she forces you to have the |
| 13867s | best bass mechanics in the game you |
| 13869s | don't you don't get this free sort of |
| 13871s | gold Focus out of everything you don't |
| 13874s | have an old that buys you you know an |
| 13877s | extra life or Freedom away from a fight |
| 13880s | so mechanically you just have to make |
| 13882s | sure you're always on top in the fight |
| 13884s | and we see jyn doing that where they're |
| 13886s | able to pick an elimination |
| 13887s | unfortunately kills a thing as I'm |
| 13889s | talking about this gets a massive musket |
| 13891s | shot onto wvg spider and picks up the |
| 13893s | elimination and that's going to be it |
| 13895s | for spider who gets sent back to the |
| 13897s | lobby that said spider |
| 13899s | these last two games even though he gets |
| 13901s | bodied by chujang in the last game much |
| 13903s | better in terms of uh kill points for |
| 13905s | wbg spider |
| 13907s | that momentum starting to shift a little |
| 13909s | bit and this is what he did during the |
| 13911s | bi-weekly final right he actually |
| 13913s | struggled in his first three games and |
| 13915s | then every subsequent game after the |
| 13918s | third game he started putting more and |
| 13920s | more kill points on the board and even |
| 13922s | though he wasn't dominating those |
| 13924s | lobbies and getting to the end and |
| 13926s | getting those first place finishes those |
| 13928s | consistency games bought him into that |
| 13932s | first place where he was just finally |
| 13934s | able to lock it all down and I mean wbg |
| 13938s | spider learned so much from that and |
| 13940s | clearly running that same strategy back |
| 13942s | here today as he just needs to qualify |
| 13945s | and get into the bi-weekly final so that |
| 13949s | he can pop off the way he's used to |
| 13950s | doing Wang Liang over here looking to |
| 13953s | pick up on this bounty but ouija's Panda |
| 13954s | actually gonna scare him off just a |
| 13956s | little bit as we go back to the realm of |
| 13958s | Yang here we're actually gonna see how |
| 13960s | Viper ends up winning this fight in a |
| 13962s | two tt25's uh zeping here the old comes |
| 13965s | through looks like they're actually |
| 13966s | running do you believe this is the one |
| 13969s | of the old very interesting decision |
| 13970s | here gets the full lockdown onto zipping |
| 13972s | zipping does have old though so yeah |
| 13974s | it's gonna burst as soon as jyn tries to |
| 13976s | go all out here but the Perry comes back |
| 13979s | in and this is what I just talked about |
| 13981s | with it playing Viper if you're playing |
| 13983s | Viper you have to have the cleanest core |
| 13987s | mechanics in the game you don't have |
| 13989s | abilities that just buy you out for free |
| 13991s | and gin showing just how clean their |
| 13994s | core mechanics are as they have picked |
| 13996s | up four eliminations on viper here today |
| 14000s | Raven |
| 14001s | gin actually getting really big Perry on |
| 14004s | 225 now I love 225 to death but uh he'd |
| 14009s | be throwing too many Blues out just |
| 14010s | betting it all on double Blues just not |
| 14012s | respecting and I feel like Jin having a |
| 14016s | really good match up there now people |
| 14017s | say it in all fights matchups make ex |
| 14020s | like really exciting fights and when you |
| 14023s | have a player who's willing to throw |
| 14024s | blues and a player willing to throw red |
| 14026s | so you're going to see fireworks every |
| 14027s | single time and now you're seeing Kai |
| 14029s | Bao getting a double charge r b and then |
| 14031s | getting a great Tech Chase into the |
| 14035s | overpowered pole sword staff combo both |
| 14039s | of the new weapons both super strong and |
| 14041s | both actually combo each other and now |
| 14043s | we're seeing a little bit of value out |
| 14044s | of this Johto world not able to get the |
| 14046s | last three piece in the end does Kai |
| 14049s | does the Yoda wrists going in ends up |
| 14052s | doing a bunch of bow shots Kai bow two |
| 14054s | can Jive in trying to survive |
| 14057s | versus his Yodo ends up popping out with |
| 14060s | no all to save this Yodo she's gonna |
| 14062s | have to survive kaibal's burst kaibal |
| 14065s | looking for this last little bit using |
| 14067s | his burn damage to his Advantage |
| 14069s | nunchucks a really really good stall |
| 14071s | weapon able to go in a gold focus and |
| 14074s | style out any everything except a punch |
| 14076s | now Tarka having that the punch the |
| 14079s | people's elbow poking xxy to death |
| 14083s | X is y looking for a little bit of room |
| 14085s | ends up trying to get trapped by the F |
| 14087s | and F3 cannot come out any sooner and |
| 14090s | X's wife is able to get a couple white |
| 14092s | heels off to stall this out he's gonna |
| 14094s | have to clutch this up this is what |
| 14095s | defines you as the player he gets the |
| 14097s | uppercut combo putting kaibal against |
| 14098s | the wall kybell bets it all on red ends |
| 14101s | up getting red like a book now xxy with |
| 14103s | a little bit of room to breathe what is |
| 14104s | he gonna do with it he needs some |
| 14106s | pressure here he has kaibao against the |
| 14108s | ropes he's gonna get another big read |
| 14110s | and gets the uppercut and takes him down |
| 14112s | this is what defines you as a player |
| 14115s | it's not the moments that you should win |
| 14116s | it's the moment that you shouldn't win |
| 14118s | and xxxy shows why he should have a seat |
| 14121s | at finals |
| 14123s | you know we talked about the nerves |
| 14125s | coming in for Tarka right and one of the |
| 14128s | big nerves uh that clearly kaibao here |
| 14131s | doesn't take into account while he's in |
| 14133s | this fight uh with xxy is the fact uh |
| 14136s | that every time you go for that people's |
| 14138s | elbow when you're in the tarco ultimate |
| 14140s | it does burn up rage and you see he |
| 14144s | actually kind of overplays his hand a |
| 14146s | little bit if you wait for the perfect |
| 14148s | timing in the F3 from Yodo you only have |
| 14150s | to Elbow them once to keep them from |
| 14153s | getting the pot off but wolves kaibao |
| 14156s | ends up elbowing them twice gets a |
| 14158s | little bit greedy and then as soon as |
| 14159s | they come out of the uh F3 elbows again |
| 14162s | he ends up burning so much of the rage |
| 14165s | in his ultimate just to counter the F3 |
| 14168s | when he only needed to realistically |
| 14170s | throw the one elbow to keep uh xxy from |
| 14174s | getting any amount of healing coming |
| 14175s | through and because of that he's not |
| 14177s | able to follow up and Chase he only gets |
| 14179s | one extra elbow out of it before his |
| 14181s | ultimate Goes Down And if he had been |
| 14183s | able to hold that ultimate like you said |
| 14185s | he could have used the elbow to actually |
| 14187s | counteract uh the gold charge coming in |
| 14189s | from the nunchucks but it's alliance's |
| 14191s | gin who comes in and reads xxy like a |
| 14194s | book is going to get rid of the Yang |
| 14195s | depletion and goes to five eliminations |
| 14197s | on a Viper as we turn back to our second |
| 14200s | realm of Yang and we're gonna see uh |
| 14202s | what goes wrong for alliance's gin here |
| 14204s | is they do lose this realm of Yang about |
| 14205s | our Shen one gen one just using the |
| 14208s | pillars to their advantage to get away |
| 14209s | uh from that Viper the one here the |
| 14213s | Perry coming through someone actually |
| 14214s | getting the legendary Katana out of |
| 14217s | alliance's hand here and who quickly |
| 14219s | flips that fight gets to keep the katana |
| 14221s | as well because he carried it can't pick |
| 14223s | it from a corpse that's not there but |
| 14225s | you can pick it up off the ground so it |
| 14226s | shouldn't won that said Alliance Jin |
| 14228s | able to come back in find the |
| 14230s | elimination onto xxy and is back in this |
| 14233s | game Against All Odds on viper ning with |
| 14236s | five eliminations in solos |
| 14240s | it's really amazing what Jin was doing |
| 14242s | in that fight he's actually going full |
| 14244s | off meta normally most players don't |
| 14246s | like the J jabbing it turns staff into |
| 14249s | something similar to like nunchucks with |
| 14251s | velocity except it has a ton of ending |
| 14254s | lag and in fighting games you want to |
| 14256s | have really really fast moves but what |
| 14258s | uh he does perfectly gin actually Max |
| 14262s | Reigns jabbing like from from like |
| 14264s | downtown pokes the Yoda right in the |
| 14267s | face pushing him into Yang and I'm sure |
| 14270s | like after that when these players are |
| 14272s | so good at pattern recognition seeing |
| 14274s | the same looks over and over and when |
| 14276s | you see someone utilize a j that's not |
| 14279s | commonly used it has to shake you a |
| 14281s | little bit especially seeing the Viper |
| 14283s | like all these players are are things |
| 14285s | that vibrate as a troll pick this guy's |
| 14287s | gonna be a free kill but with five kills |
| 14289s | Jin is showing that this is actually not |
| 14291s | a troll pick and he might be sending a |
| 14294s | new meta on holleroth daytime now this |
| 14297s | this pick normally you're going to be |
| 14298s | running into a ton of defensive |
| 14300s | characters you're gonna run into a ton |
| 14301s | of zippings a ton of fairies who are |
| 14303s | just trying to play end game so the |
| 14305s | matcha viper versus Yodo viper versus |
| 14308s | zipping viper versus Feria uh it's |
| 14310s | actually it doesn't look that bad on |
| 14312s | paper only zipping looks a little bit |
| 14314s | atrocious but if you're able to find |
| 14316s | these isolated fights that jyn is doing |
| 14319s | able to get into these end games able to |
| 14321s | find positions in Yang he's finding a |
| 14325s | ton of value now we're icing off into |
| 14329s | that transition in the end game where |
| 14331s | all these players are kind of just Pro |
| 14333s | probing using that Target lock one of |
| 14335s | the tricks of the trade is actually |
| 14337s | using the target lock to check people's |
| 14339s | Health Port A lot of times that players |
| 14341s | will actually grapple onto a player but |
| 14344s | you can actually check their uh Health |
| 14346s | by just Target locking |
| 14348s | using that tilde key to check everyone's |
| 14350s | hit points to see what kind of armor are |
| 14352s | you dealing with are you blue armor |
| 14354s | because if you're a blueberry we're |
| 14355s | about to eat some blueberries in the Zen |
| 14357s | games now with only six players left |
| 14360s | it's not it's not as spicy but two two |
| 14363s | five on the belisa sending mortars from |
| 14367s | the heavens shenuan now getting focused |
| 14370s | on the edge of this three-band Zone he's |
| 14372s | gonna have to go into his Mech but he |
| 14374s | can still take damage from the ballista |
| 14376s | Fong seeing the weakness this is a huge |
| 14379s | misplay by send me one can he survive |
| 14381s | we've seen jyn come back from this |
| 14383s | terrible situations Ken Shen you want to |
| 14385s | come back from this situation giant |
| 14387s | beliefs that sensing ground gets from |
| 14389s | above getting focused fired by bows from |
| 14392s | all ranges and T225 getting the easy |
| 14395s | easiest kill of his life Panda man |
| 14398s | gearing up his position two two five |
| 14400s | sees where those arrows comes from |
| 14401s | blowing him up out of that bush now two |
| 14404s | two now Panda man hiding behind the rock |
| 14406s | 225 findings some easy kills looking to |
| 14411s | secure and Alpha his kill what kind of |
| 14414s | loot we're working with what kind of |
| 14415s | Jades this farrier has now Fong just |
| 14419s | like Wang Lang known for their scaling |
| 14421s | known for playing their end game well |
| 14422s | this is one of the tricks of the trade |
| 14424s | getting these boxes unlike normal mode |
| 14427s | in Mortal Ward these end game boxes are |
| 14430s | stacked with loot look how many gold |
| 14432s | Jades there are look how many gold are |
| 14434s | how much gold armor there is on there |
| 14436s | this on these defensive games the name |
| 14438s | of the game is having enough heels to |
| 14440s | survive the lobby now 225 after his |
| 14444s | first kill we were saying before that he |
| 14447s | struggles with his mental when things |
| 14449s | are looking Grim is he able to bounce |
| 14452s | back when he has all the aggression he |
| 14454s | is in the driver's seat unfortunately |
| 14456s | this time Panda man is in the driver's |
| 14458s | seat but doesn't want to commit |
| 14460s | ends up retreating back to his Bush and |
| 14463s | rock willing to play this end game two |
| 14466s | two five |
| 14467s | has his tuna looking to just play He |
| 14470s | Love choosing playing this super wisely |
| 14474s | man what what character do you think |
| 14476s | wins in this heel off with Feria |
| 14477s | matarian zipping Room Keeper if you |
| 14479s | would have to bet who are you taking who |
| 14481s | are you putting your money on in this |
| 14482s | round |
| 14484s | uh it's gonna be really interesting I'm |
| 14486s | still I'm still watching alliances gin I |
| 14488s | think honestly the Viper coming in could |
| 14490s | be very very crucial to this final Zone |
| 14493s | if they're able uh to keep all eyes off |
| 14497s | themselves and then make it to that very |
| 14499s | last final Circle where Zone Seven is |
| 14501s | collapsing and they can stun these |
| 14503s | z-pings uh out into the The Zone |
| 14506s | crucially uh making sure that they get |
| 14508s | that uh healing cut coming in onto them |
| 14511s | so that when they pop their ultimates |
| 14513s | it's not going to do as much and jyn can |
| 14515s | maintain that sort of middle position |
| 14517s | especially holding on to the F so that |
| 14520s | they can sort of f them back out into |
| 14522s | the Zone when they start to get |
| 14523s | pressured onto I think Jin might be able |
| 14526s | to make something happen I'm a big fan |
| 14528s | of just playing the early game like Jin |
| 14531s | has done and instead running the V3 over |
| 14534s | the V1 onto Viper just for the ability |
| 14537s | to fight while you're silencing players |
| 14539s | down they've clearly opted for the V1 |
| 14542s | and if I were to take V one I would be |
| 14545s | looking to make a play like that in the |
| 14547s | late game where I'm just able to get you |
| 14550s | know that sort of tactical nuke we talk |
| 14552s | about in trios on viper but you're |
| 14555s | having to do it in solos and it's that |
| 14557s | critical moment right it's the same |
| 14558s | thing like if you're playing a Feria |
| 14560s | where you're looking to get that huge uh |
| 14563s | pillar off in the the final moments |
| 14565s | where the Zone's collapsing and knock |
| 14567s | multiple players into uh the Zone we're |
| 14571s | gonna see Viper trying to do the same |
| 14572s | thing and crucially for these other |
| 14575s | players uh the Matari will have an |
| 14578s | answer in their ultimate but everybody |
| 14580s | else is gonna be forced to try to step |
| 14583s | into the zone to try to find an |
| 14585s | invisibility Bush or find a way to break |
| 14587s | line of sight and either way uh we we're |
| 14591s | gonna see our lovely Viper here get a |
| 14593s | little bit of uh mileage out of that |
| 14596s | ultimate and potentially pick up a |
| 14597s | couple of eliminations it just is going |
| 14599s | to come down to very crucial timing and |
| 14601s | it definitely comes down to as the Viper |
| 14604s | player not being caught out before then |
| 14606s | jyn looking to go for that tactical nuke |
| 14608s | we talked about unfortunately we see |
| 14611s | many many vipers suffer from this all |
| 14613s | the time where they're trying to get the |
| 14615s | read on the positionals from players |
| 14616s | down below and unfortunately they just |
| 14618s | burn the resource and don't get anything |
| 14620s | out of it we saw that a lot in trios |
| 14622s | last week and this is not the play I |
| 14625s | would have made if I was a lion's gin we |
| 14626s | were just talking about you don't want |
| 14628s | to make yourself a Target in this Lobby |
| 14630s | and what does alliance's gin do they |
| 14633s | make themselves a Target by trying to go |
| 14635s | for that tactical nuke and almost |
| 14637s | immediately are punished for it they're |
| 14639s | looking for some space to try to make |
| 14641s | something happen but T225 follows up man |
| 14643s | gin I I wish I could be there to Pat him |
| 14647s | on the back and just be like bro this is |
| 14650s | exactly what I just told you you |
| 14651s | shouldn't do uh unfortunately that's |
| 14655s | man again you can't make yourself the |
| 14657s | target that's kind of been the |
| 14658s | conversation all day today and jyn tries |
| 14661s | to go for the Tactical nuke and uh |
| 14663s | unfortunately makes himself a big Target |
| 14665s | and finds himself eliminated from the |
| 14667s | lobby man I saw the Stars the lining I |
| 14670s | was like Wow Rune Keepers manifesting |
| 14672s | this perfectly getting focused fired on |
| 14674s | Matari he's about to get hit the one |
| 14676s | counted a Viper getting eliminated and |
| 14679s | then and then he bets it all he bets it |
| 14682s | all on the Tactical nuke he goes for it |
| 14684s | all I respect it fortune favors the Bold |
| 14687s | unfortunately he comes out super short |
| 14689s | hits nobody and immediately gets focused |
| 14692s | by by Panda man Panda man wisening up |
| 14695s | being like wait a second there's someone |
| 14696s | here that doesn't look like the rest of |
| 14698s | us who let this Viper to the party this |
| 14700s | guy has to be taken down now Panda man |
| 14702s | shown exactly why he deserves to be here |
| 14705s | trying |
| 14706s | to set himself up nicely leading into |
| 14709s | these finals with some extra kills but |
| 14711s | Fong messing menacingly following the |
| 14714s | spooky pole sword who decided to have |
| 14717s | the ability to triple charge a great |
| 14720s | sword with absolutely the the openness |
| 14724s | of Pulsar you rarely see it in solos but |
| 14728s | something to point out here Fong is out |
| 14730s | of resources if he takes any white white |
| 14733s | Hill damage he's not going to be able to |
| 14735s | heal he needs to play this perfectly if |
| 14737s | he plays this perfectly he's a favorite |
| 14739s | to win this Lobby barrier being the |
| 14741s | strongest heal off character |
| 14744s | he probably has blistering with his |
| 14746s | pulse or it's the main reason that a lot |
| 14748s | of these players are playing with just |
| 14750s | like nunchucks uh when you get a Perry |
| 14752s | with pulse order Greatsword you do a ton |
| 14755s | of damage even if your opponent has a |
| 14757s | gold F he is still going to take a |
| 14760s | massive amount of damage a lot of the |
| 14761s | time over a thousand damage now leading |
| 14764s | into this we got choosing playing Super |
| 14767s | Optima it looks like he has the opj of |
| 14770s | this season he has flame breath on a |
| 14773s | cannon trying to make panda man the |
| 14776s | target of the lobby Panama trying to |
| 14778s | find a spot to heal but choosing |
| 14780s | peppering him with the flame breath |
| 14783s | chipping away at his at his health two |
| 14785s | two five probing for weakness Panda man |
| 14788s | okay a cornered animal trying to fight |
| 14791s | off the lobby showing everyone he's |
| 14793s | willing to throw these Blues he's |
| 14795s | holding his face perfectly with Fong |
| 14798s | sitting on the the top side we're going |
| 14800s | to heal off folks who's going to take us |
| 14802s | we got aetheria and three zippings |
| 14806s | I I still think Fong is in the perfect |
| 14808s | place to secure this win he's playing |
| 14811s | Super safe using his range perfectly |
| 14813s | Panda man getting eaten alive by Fong's |
| 14817s | triple charge that pole sword doing a |
| 14819s | ton of work two two five sending the |
| 14821s | first blue we're gonna see the second |
| 14823s | blue he's willing to send it |
| 14825s | looks like he's gonna back off but fong |
| 14827s | in the best position just against two |
| 14830s | other players there's absolutely no |
| 14832s | reason for him to lose lose this |
| 14834s | situation he goes into Zone denying the |
| 14837s | bloom wisely knowing that dippings get |
| 14839s | an extra heal off this Bloom he doesn't |
| 14841s | have he does ends up picking up two |
| 14843s | white heels he meets the top of his |
| 14845s | health going into the Zen game two two |
| 14847s | five four support uh use on Tuesday and |
| 14849s | with all down this should be a layup for |
| 14852s | Feria all she has to do is stall just a |
| 14855s | little bit longer these two are making |
| 14857s | massive errors giving this up playing |
| 14859s | for second and third choosing looking |
| 14861s | for juicy scale Rush pull sword off |
| 14864s | scale Rush doing a basic Focus attack so |
| 14867s | much damage throwing scale rushes up and |
| 14870s | down two two five trying not to be a |
| 14872s | victim of this full sword that claimed |
| 14874s | this previous opponent's life now |
| 14876s | playing for second and third these two |
| 14878s | zippings trying to grief each other but |
| 14880s | with blistering against things sending |
| 14882s | these oh actually it's matarian zipping |
| 14885s | settings choosing on fire taking him |
| 14888s | down with a massive hit 225 Force into |
| 14890s | Zone setting up blue Focus scale Rush |
| 14893s | making it look easy there's no chance |
| 14896s | for T225 and shoes on clutches it up |
| 14899s | with that barrier pick playing it |
| 14901s | perfectly what a great day that choose |
| 14903s | thing is happening having today |
| 14906s | oh man what a final finish here Kelly's |
| 14909s | Fang gonna come out on top here in our |
| 14912s | fifth game of the day but man I I'm so |
| 14916s | sad for alliance's gin Jin doing so well |
| 14920s | on this off meta Viper pick and then |
| 14923s | almost immediately does exactly what |
| 14926s | we've talked about all day today you |
| 14929s | don't want to make yourself the target |
| 14931s | you don't want to bring attention to |
| 14933s | yourself not only does he pop the |
| 14935s | ultimate and go for the Tactical nuke |
| 14938s | making himself a giant Target but he |
| 14940s | gets zero mileage out of it because he |
| 14943s | misreads where the players in the lobby |
| 14946s | are going to go and it is so unfortunate |
| 14950s | that we see Fango or sorry that we see |
| 14952s | uh our alliances gin go out the way we |
| 14956s | do panda man more than happy to come in |
| 14958s | and clean it up though because wait a |
| 14959s | minute there's a Viper here let me just |
| 14961s | go ahead and get them out of this Lobby |
| 14963s | what a what a final Circle what a game |
| 14966s | Raven just the fact that we get to see a |
| 14969s | Viper pick come through and do so well |
| 14973s | sometimes sometimes that's what it takes |
| 14975s | when you have when you feel like you |
| 14976s | have nothing to lose you enter like a |
| 14978s | flow state where you're willing to just |
| 14979s | play your game not really worry about |
| 14981s | the outcome because you figure like oh |
| 14983s | I'm picking an off meta pick but I think |
| 14985s | it could work if I find the right looks |
| 14986s | and jyn ends up playing really really |
| 14988s | confident and finding like really clutch |
| 14990s | kills in in moments that he shouldn't be |
| 14993s | winning he ends up beating out a lot of |
| 14995s | the meta picks and even though that |
| 14997s | Viper not doesn't end up clutching it |
| 14999s | even though she could possibly win that |
| 15001s | end game Panama ends up picking her off |
| 15003s | like I saw the vision I saw the Matari |
| 15005s | going out you were calling it play by |
| 15007s | play and choose in if he gets taken out |
| 15009s | he's not gonna be able to envis and then |
| 15011s | what answer do we have for Viper and I |
| 15012s | was like wait a second is Viper really a |
| 15016s | possibility if this matter right now it |
| 15018s | is holler out there's a lot of space out |
| 15020s | there there's a lot of buttery rocks |
| 15021s | there's not much place to uh to hide |
| 15024s | from that that Viper nuke as you call it |
| 15026s | but somehow jyn just makes the most |
| 15029s | atrocious play and all ins off the top |
| 15032s | robes like I I saw it I saw the greed |
| 15035s | was it was just such a greedy play room |
| 15038s | here like I I don't understand like why |
| 15041s | he would go for that I guess he figured |
| 15043s | that eventually you get picked off so I |
| 15044s | kind of respect it I feel like you |
| 15046s | should do their old address like look |
| 15048s | before you leave if you look before you |
| 15050s | leave he might have gotten a little bit |
| 15051s | more |
| 15052s | yeah I mean look at this he walks away |
| 15054s | with an 8.5 game score second place |
| 15056s | finish literally all he does is he just |
| 15058s | doesn't ult there right he was in a |
| 15060s | position nobody knew where he was he |
| 15063s | could have just walked himself in to the |
| 15066s | very final Circle that huge fight in the |
| 15068s | end and popped that Viper's done and |
| 15070s | there's not much anybody else could have |
| 15071s | done here but unfortunately Alliance Jin |
| 15074s | does himself dirty and Kayla's Fang |
| 15076s | gonna be the player who comes out on top |
| 15078s | with five eliminations in a first place |
| 15079s | finish and that means he's gonna walk |
| 15081s | away with a game score of 12 and this is |
| 15084s | what we talk about this is like the the |
| 15086s | perfect average stat line for a first |
| 15089s | place finishes that 12 point game where |
| 15091s | you're able to get those five |
| 15092s | eliminations a first place finish you |
| 15095s | get that multiplier going to eight |
| 15096s | points off of kills four points off of |
| 15098s | ranking points Fang probably like you |
| 15101s | can't be more happy than this right Fang |
| 15103s | had a huge game earlier they were able |
| 15105s | to pop off |
| 15107s | uh eight eliminations coming out in |
| 15108s | first place now coming in with a five |
| 15110s | elimination game |
| 15112s | first place finish Fang just continuing |
| 15114s | to slowly climb that ladder right his |
| 15118s | first day during the bi-weekly not a |
| 15120s | great showing thing all of a sudden |
| 15121s | coming back he's found his stride and he |
| 15124s | continues to put big points on the board |
| 15126s | taking a look here this is where we see |
| 15128s | Mike just get absolutely parried by wbg |
| 15130s | spider into the dragon's Rush Mike then |
| 15132s | uh turning on to Kai bow here man the |
| 15135s | fireball Tarka common in clutch |
| 15137s | alliances gin here man again really Jin |
| 15140s | able to find these crazy eliminations |
| 15143s | that you wouldn't think Viper would be |
| 15145s | able to come out on top for and here |
| 15147s | we're gonna go to the realm of Yang |
| 15148s | where Jin finds a massive Ferry onto |
| 15150s | T225 and just is able to continue to |
| 15153s | clutch it up then finds himself losing |
| 15155s | the second realm of Yang into Shen Yuan |
| 15157s | but after he loses this he immediately |
| 15160s | is able to go out and find that |
| 15161s | elimination uh on to xxy get himself |
| 15164s | back in the game uh now these These are |
| 15167s | huge these ballista shots uh coming in |
| 15169s | and quite literally if you're caught out |
| 15171s | in the open like that that's just a free |
| 15173s | elimination for some of these players |
| 15175s | Fang here that blistering Edge putting |
| 15177s | in so much work knocking T225 way into |
| 15180s | the Zone scale Rush coming through I |
| 15182s | mean realistically as soon as you get |
| 15184s | knocked back by that massive uh |
| 15186s | blistering Edge sd225 there's not a |
| 15189s | whole lot you can do you're forced to |
| 15191s | just run down the barrel of fang to try |
| 15193s | to get back in the zone and Feng's not |
| 15195s | gonna let you get back honestly is we're |
| 15199s | gonna take a look here Fang with his |
| 15200s | eighth MVP of the spring split season 17 |
| 15204s | 000 damage and five eliminations |
| 15208s | you love to see Fang coming back to his |
| 15211s | dominant form ends up playing all that |
| 15213s | situation perfectly you see two two five |
| 15216s | in that clutch moment I mean I think |
| 15218s | you're right Room Keeper that there's no |
| 15220s | way he's able to live in that situation |
| 15222s | like a bank plays it perfectly space it |
| 15224s | up or he's charging a scale Rush I'd |
| 15227s | like to see 225 just like in those |
| 15229s | really tough spots to just go for it to |
| 15231s | go go for the Perry at least try to live |
| 15235s | in that situation and find a way to win |
| 15237s | that stream and maybe he has a sap and |
| 15239s | he turns it around right there and Fong |
| 15240s | ends up uh trolling his game because he |
| 15243s | did put his alt down in the center like |
| 15244s | he assumed that he had it in the bag and |
| 15246s | what better way to show uh fun that a if |
| 15250s | you overextend on me like don't come out |
| 15252s | with me down and out and that's |
| 15254s | something that T225 really needs to to |
| 15256s | show in this uh coming up games if he |
| 15260s | wants to be the next champion at Worlds |
| 15262s | he ended up getting second |
| 15264s | doing super super well just absolutely |
| 15266s | decimating the the nervousness of the |
| 15268s | lobby that that heavy blue Focus play |
| 15271s | style most of the players never want to |
| 15273s | commit never want to risk anything but |
| 15275s | 225 is just the the gambling boy man |
| 15279s | himself my man is willing to send Blues |
| 15281s | he's a free bird flying through the blue |
| 15283s | skies he'd love to see it man |
| 15285s | oh yeah absolutely but we're gonna show |
| 15288s | uh sorry we're gonna throw to a short |
| 15290s | video because we're gonna come back and |
| 15291s | lock in for our sixth and final game |
| 15321s | thank you |
| 15367s | foreign |
| 15378s | [Music] |
| 15392s | foreign |
| 15394s | [Music] |
| 15417s | standings not a whole lot changing here |
| 15420s | Raven |
| 15423s | um it breaks my heart every time I see |
| 15426s | ewg say everyone she just doesn't get |
| 15429s | another chance at this you'd like to see |
| 15431s | her in this Lobby hoping to get |
| 15433s | something going but we do see xxy |
| 15437s | fighting for this spot fighting to try |
| 15440s | to make it to the finals this is the |
| 15441s | clutch Moment Like if he can get that 12 |
| 15444s | points I think he's in Striking range |
| 15446s | same thing with ego yeah it looks like |
| 15449s | the uh getting in the finals is going to |
| 15452s | be around 39 points Shaw not able to |
| 15455s | really |
| 15456s | uh it doesn't have his Destiny in his |
| 15459s | own hands he already has two games |
| 15460s | played or two days played as same with |
| 15463s | railgun so both of these players could |
| 15465s | possibly get pushed out if rank 15 and |
| 15469s | 16 have a great day but Wang Lange |
| 15471s | coasting uh to a victory not having the |
| 15475s | best day with 5.2 points but absolutely |
| 15479s | dominating day two so he's secure making |
| 15482s | it to finals uh Panda man always one of |
| 15486s | the crowd favorites being the the Tarka |
| 15487s | Maine that we all love and enjoy to |
| 15489s | watch able to hold his middle ground now |
| 15492s | Jin climbing the the boards with that |
| 15495s | Viper pick oh man I'm excited to see |
| 15498s | whether or not other people follow suit |
| 15500s | on a Viper pick on a defensive day just |
| 15503s | trying to lock down to those defensive |
| 15505s | capabilities now with spider at 27 |
| 15508s | points having a really strong |
| 15509s | performance of the day 27 points is |
| 15511s | nothing to scoff at like any anything |
| 15514s | above 25 you're easily the T year one of |
| 15517s | the league Fong coming back to form |
| 15519s | having a pop-off day he's probably gonna |
| 15522s | end the day with the 40 points and now |
| 15524s | getting more points going into finals is |
| 15527s | really important these some these |
| 15529s | players end up carrying some of these |
| 15530s | points going into it now choosing one of |
| 15533s | my favorite players currently in the |
| 15535s | league showing that he deserves to be |
| 15537s | here he's been top five in the finals |
| 15540s | top five in the weekly showing of really |
| 15542s | solid performance and it looks like |
| 15544s | roomkeeper he's really falling into a |
| 15546s | stride I saw a lot of really really |
| 15548s | optimal play from him today in really |
| 15551s | really tightness uh |
| 15552s | moments making the correct decisions and |
| 15555s | against the veterans Mike spider 225 |
| 15560s | Wang Lang he choosing is just playing a |
| 15562s | really really good game of naraka today |
| 15565s | oh yeah absolutely ever since his first |
| 15568s | day uh coming into the new season has |
| 15571s | been a player that I've personally been |
| 15573s | watching is he he's grown so much in |
| 15577s | such a short period of time and shown |
| 15579s | that he's very very capable of hanging |
| 15582s | with the top players in the league and I |
| 15584s | mean man I don't think we have a better |
| 15585s | example of that than game number four |
| 15588s | where spider overextends he goes into |
| 15591s | that realm of Yang I mean realistically |
| 15594s | I'm gonna call wbg spider out here he |
| 15596s | had no business going into the second |
| 15598s | realm of Yang he had five eliminations |
| 15600s | under his belt he already had all the |
| 15603s | gear he could possibly want to go into |
| 15605s | late game he's playing a defensive hero |
| 15608s | that realistically 90 of the time ends |
| 15611s | up tying inside the realm of Yang and |
| 15614s | into a Feria if he runs into one ends up |
| 15617s | losing most of the time uh I don't know |
| 15620s | what the decision making uh or the |
| 15623s | thought process fighter was having there |
| 15624s | but definitely only a massive player |
| 15626s | mistake coming out from them there |
| 15628s | before we continue that train of thought |
| 15630s | though don't let our audience make the |
| 15632s | mistake by not answering this question |
| 15634s | because you definitely want to lock |
| 15635s | yourself in some of these lovely |
| 15637s | Treasures while you can and the current |
| 15639s | question is who is leading the |
| 15641s | scoreboard right now is it 80 uh is it a |
| 15643s | jdg xujang bgs is T225 C aow's Mike or D |
| 15648s | J teams action this should be a fairly |
| 15651s | easy one we literally just showed this |
| 15652s | leaderboard uh I'll give you a hint |
| 15655s | they've been uh at the top of the |
| 15657s | leaderboard for most of the day uh today |
| 15660s | so hopefully you guys can get this one |
| 15662s | locked in but back to the wbg spider and |
| 15665s | of course jdg's xujang Chu Jiang not |
| 15667s | only makes the right decision to go into |
| 15669s | the realm of Yang because he is running |
| 15671s | that Feria he knows he has a fairly good |
| 15674s | uh chance of coming out on top given |
| 15676s | what he's seen popping the kill feed and |
| 15679s | the current Heroes that he's seen |
| 15680s | running around but he also denies wbg |
| 15684s | spider from being being able to find |
| 15687s | that Soul Bloom to get back in the game |
| 15689s | he literally locks his sights onto wbg |
| 15693s | spider as he comes out the realm of Yang |
| 15694s | gets spider to chase him as soon as |
| 15697s | Spider turns around and starts chasing |
| 15699s | onto another player you can feel the |
| 15702s | grin come across Chu Zhang's face |
| 15704s | because it's almost guaranteed to be the |
| 15707s | wrong decision because now XU xen can |
| 15709s | turn his attention to just griefing |
| 15712s | spider and keeping spider from being |
| 15715s | able to pick up that elimination and |
| 15717s | that's what we see happen spider gets so |
| 15720s | focused now on giving up this hunt on |
| 15722s | jujang trying to lock down another |
| 15724s | player that XU Xiang is just completely |
| 15727s | free to do whatever he wants to keep |
| 15730s | spider from securing anything as soon as |
| 15732s | Spider runs off towards the Zone Chu |
| 15735s | Zhang not knowing the timer knows the |
| 15738s | timer he goes oh spider's running |
| 15739s | towards the Zone all I have to do is hit |
| 15741s | him because he's about to tick down to |
| 15743s | Yang depletion he Max up throws the head |
| 15746s | down on the spider spider runs out into |
| 15748s | the Zone ends up dying to the Yang |
| 15750s | depletion but Chu Zhang already has the |
| 15753s | hit out on him is able to very easily |
| 15755s | secure the elimination and secure the |
| 15758s | body because spider runs away from the |
| 15760s | middle of the map hiding the body from |
| 15762s | the rest of the lobby making a second |
| 15765s | player mistake because he just continues |
| 15768s | to feed into Chu Zhang and make that |
| 15771s | machine even more well oiled that game |
| 15774s | is going to go down in the history books |
| 15776s | of the nbpl for a hot minute and you |
| 15779s | know spider is still reeling from it |
| 15783s | oh if I was spider I would be steaming I |
| 15786s | would already be thinking about finals |
| 15788s | oh that's what we're doing that's what |
| 15791s | we're doing Tuesday if you're gonna try |
| 15793s | to Dethrone me you're gonna get some hot |
| 15795s | drops I wouldn't be surprised if spider |
| 15798s | and his team goes back into the Bots |
| 15800s | figures out exactly how chuzang is |
| 15803s | playing his early mid and end game and |
| 15806s | he's gonna take the fight to him he |
| 15807s | knows that |
| 15809s | only had those situations because uh he |
| 15813s | can't take spider head-on now the ferio |
| 15815s | versus sibling matchup that's definitely |
| 15816s | a my bad by spider he should know better |
| 15820s | than that he is a defending Champion uh |
| 15823s | making these really really egotistical |
| 15825s | places and uncaras uncharacteristic uh |
| 15829s | Mistake by spider usually he's a |
| 15831s | Flawless machine with zero mistakes even |
| 15835s | in neutral when when you think about |
| 15837s | blue red Dodge it seems that spider |
| 15840s | always guesses correctly and for him to |
| 15843s | make such a rookie mistake going into |
| 15847s | Yang on dripping on a defensive round |
| 15849s | where he has no business trying to burst |
| 15851s | seferia just see raw mechanics uh |
| 15855s | choosing hard punishments for this but |
| 15857s | as a competitor I know spider is going |
| 15861s | to be casting that web and he has his |
| 15863s | sights locked in on Tuesday now leading |
| 15866s | into game six on a daytime Morris |
| 15869s | usually the players here |
| 15872s | kind of what you feel as a competitor |
| 15874s | you're kind of burnt out you're kind of |
| 15876s | ready to just like get it in try some uh |
| 15879s | interesting things I don't think Fong is |
| 15881s | staying on this monk moonkeeper I see |
| 15883s | this monk right here if he stays on my |
| 15887s | man is feeling himself 100 completely |
| 15890s | 100 fog stays on this monk we've seen |
| 15892s | him do it in the past 2225 thinking |
| 15896s | about doing the same thing right now and |
| 15897s | look at this jjh teased me he teased me |
| 15901s | with the temmie Tammy for a while the |
| 15905s | counter pick to Target G was something I |
| 15909s | really wanted to see come in the nbpl |
| 15910s | then we see Target G Nerf the need for |
| 15913s | temmie to come in and counter pick darka |
| 15915s | sort of died off but it looks like jjh |
| 15918s | was gonna lock it in they did not |
| 15920s | unfortunately it does look like La Fang |
| 15922s | is gonna stay on the monk we've seen |
| 15924s | Fang do this before look Fang's |
| 15927s | guaranteed to go to the bi-weekly final |
| 15929s | and he's top five now the point |
| 15932s | difference between top five not that big |
| 15934s | of a deal realistically from the points |
| 15936s | that get carried over into the bi-weekly |
| 15938s | finals 100 we see Fang do this and I I |
| 15942s | can't wait to see the pic come out he's |
| 15944s | not even he's not gonna play the same |
| 15945s | hero twice he said the heck with it I'm |
| 15947s | playing a different hero every single |
| 15949s | game today day and this is just more BM |
| 15952s | coming out from Fang right |
| 15954s | it's it's gonna be my favorite player If |
| 15957s | he if he does monk Perryville I'm gonna |
| 15960s | go crazy |
| 15962s | on someone and people sleep on |
| 15964s | Perryville like it actually is super |
| 15968s | super annoying because it's a frame one |
| 15969s | Perry it starts up when you cannot see |
| 15972s | it and if you accidentally light into it |
| 15974s | you get uppercuted for it it's one of |
| 15977s | the most ridiculous ability but where |
| 15979s | monk kind of falls short isn't one of |
| 15981s | these defensive lobbies you got berries |
| 15982s | and zippings running around |
| 15984s | I hope Fang like survives the end game |
| 15986s | because I'd love to see him get in there |
| 15988s | and get oogly in that end game I want to |
| 15990s | see a double grab Room Keeper |
| 15992s | I I it'd be very interesting to see you |
| 15995s | know we haven't seen in a long time |
| 15996s | healing Monk |
| 16000s | true yes you have the big have the big |
| 16004s | weak points when you're in the healing |
| 16005s | monk which is why we typically don't see |
| 16007s | it but into solos if you make it to |
| 16010s | final circle on this monk pick and |
| 16012s | you're running healing monk |
| 16013s | realistically if you can land grabs that |
| 16016s | could buy you the victory that you're |
| 16018s | looking for you could potentially out |
| 16021s | heal the zippings we're gonna see if it |
| 16024s | comes down to that though as we turn |
| 16025s | immediately to jajang oh my goodness |
| 16027s | just doing xxy completely dirty with a |
| 16030s | snap but xxy coming in with the Perry on |
| 16033s | the nunchucks such a huge damage around |
| 16035s | audit choose Zhang but we're gonna see |
| 16037s | rain actually come into grief xxy and |
| 16040s | xxy is going to find themselves |
| 16042s | eliminated and jdg's XU jang's gonna |
| 16044s | live to see another day about us genuine |
| 16046s | coming in looking to pressure rain now |
| 16048s | heavily rain will find a little bit of |
| 16051s | that F2 action but not enough as Shen |
| 16053s | Yuan continues the hunt here the purple |
| 16056s | dual blades or sorry blue dual blades |
| 16058s | doing a ton of damage that purple farmer |
| 16060s | buying him so much safety as Shen Yuan |
| 16062s | picks up an elimination but jdg shows |
| 16064s | back up for the third party he's able to |
| 16066s | get the reset wants to come in is |
| 16068s | threatening into the space caution you |
| 16071s | want on the bluff you're gonna see the |
| 16073s | pairing come in from Chu Zhang on to JG |
| 16076s | sorry uh Jail's ego ego immediately |
| 16079s | flipped out of the fight and his Shen |
| 16081s | Yuan who continues to go low is going to |
| 16084s | keep the chase up his ego wants to |
| 16086s | pressure this fight the bow shots coming |
| 16089s | in is Xi Jiang now wants to grief the |
| 16091s | kill away the mech does drop down and it |
| 16094s | looks like xujang and ego gonna be |
| 16096s | forced out of this fight but XU xen |
| 16097s | keeps the pressure coming goes inside to |
| 16100s | completely avoid the shots here but Xin |
| 16102s | Yuan able to find the explosion on to |
| 16104s | Chu Jiang xujang now forced to finally |
| 16107s | back out of this as Shenron looks to |
| 16110s | find the full reset they were hoping for |
| 16112s | with this Mech transformation |
| 16116s | gen you on Note with no alt Jin on a |
| 16120s | meta pick unfortunately I was really |
| 16122s | hoping to see another Viper kit pick |
| 16124s | from Jin and with white armor I'm seeing |
| 16126s | a lot of ambition poking this area even |
| 16129s | though you're unzipping he's willing to |
| 16131s | take this fight and he he throws a red |
| 16133s | out looking for shenuan to throw that |
| 16136s | Focus attack out but now ego on Tarka |
| 16138s | coming in sensing weakness using that F |
| 16141s | to deny all the damage but Jin gets ends |
| 16143s | up getting picked off by choosing |
| 16146s | instead choosing having a great day |
| 16148s | always there looking to capitalize on |
| 16151s | the Lobby's mistakes now he's out of |
| 16152s | there ego gets the alpha the body |
| 16154s | looking to pick up a couple heals and |
| 16156s | scale up |
| 16157s | now with this Tarka pick you don't |
| 16160s | really have the benefit of all these |
| 16161s | fireflies rain on Justina this looks |
| 16163s | like a comfort pick and when you're on |
| 16165s | you're comfortable magical things happen |
| 16167s | unfortunately you're against choosing |
| 16169s | the player that has been playing |
| 16171s | perfectly having a perfect day on Feria |
| 16174s | looking for that overhold but ego |
| 16176s | spotting this Justina hey we see an off |
| 16180s | meta pick that's what we target this has |
| 16182s | to be a weaker player this has to be an |
| 16185s | easy kill ego chasing down |
| 16189s | this Justina trying to make some space |
| 16193s | but 225 now joining in the action three |
| 16197s | top players all going at it trying to |
| 16199s | get and secure the Girl by choosing ends |
| 16202s | up backstabbing taking this kill on rain |
| 16204s | the gamble doesn't pay off now shenju on |
| 16207s | coming in with the purple armor spots |
| 16210s | ego unfortunately ego doesn't get to use |
| 16213s | his alt offensively he has to use his |
| 16216s | all to run he puts on his Nikes he's |
| 16219s | trying to create space but it is |
| 16221s | celestra he's bumping into all the |
| 16223s | buildings finally he gets the heel off |
| 16225s | it looks like they're gonna give up the |
| 16226s | chase on this charcoal he gets to Live |
| 16228s | Another Day |
| 16232s | I would say this is huge for ego being |
| 16234s | able to survive this but like you say I |
| 16236s | know exactly where you were going to go |
| 16237s | with this by the way jdg's choosing top |
| 16241s | form today just absolutely an insane |
| 16243s | player and the patience from chujang |
| 16245s | have you noticed every elimination he |
| 16248s | picked up this game he backs away from a |
| 16251s | fight lets other players put the work in |
| 16255s | for him and then slides in to pick up |
| 16258s | the elimination the decision-making |
| 16260s | coming through from zhujang |
| 16262s | absolutely insane Raven working smarter |
| 16265s | not harder I like I like this you like |
| 16267s | to see it now Fong on the monk I'm |
| 16271s | rooting for him to win soon get out of |
| 16272s | here we need to see this Monk and end |
| 16274s | game don't do it to him this is a crowd |
| 16275s | pleaser bond with the BM on the monk |
| 16278s | pick telling everyone he doesn't need |
| 16279s | his last game he doesn't need points |
| 16281s | leading into finals he's still going to |
| 16283s | be top of this mountain he gets the |
| 16285s | armor reset now dagger versus long sword |
| 16289s | this is his comfort pick this is his |
| 16291s | baby his dagger his one true love ends |
| 16294s | up using the rooftop to be a sneaky monk |
| 16297s | now Mike the original now Mike hasn't |
| 16299s | had a great second half for the day we |
| 16302s | haven't seen him in as many highlights |
| 16303s | as we normally see him Mike usually |
| 16305s | coming in with the fire now in this time |
| 16308s | coming in with the water looking to |
| 16311s | drown some opponents and now we're going |
| 16313s | back to Ego in celestra running away |
| 16315s | from the ultimal Gainer choosing having |
| 16318s | a perfect day having great Target |
| 16320s | selection knowing that this taco has no |
| 16323s | alt back to xxy he needs to have a good |
| 16325s | game he's kind of on the cusp but this |
| 16328s | is looking for brownie points to show |
| 16329s | that in good form that he can do better |
| 16332s | maybe next week uh X in and Maita |
| 16336s | lurking on the outside this is one of |
| 16339s | the uh strengths of zipping she's |
| 16341s | actually able in these early zones to |
| 16343s | sit in zone for a really long time |
| 16345s | because of her extra heels because of |
| 16346s | her own she's really not in the danger |
| 16348s | of getting hard held at zone now Mike |
| 16351s | and exit going fully at it and getting |
| 16354s | third party by xxli with the cannon |
| 16356s | looking to deny getting the soul blue |
| 16359s | there's an overex section by x x and |
| 16363s | trying to survive this situation he has |
| 16365s | his all ticking away but now xxy over |
| 16368s | committing and we have found the monk he |
| 16370s | has a second life everyone's fighting in |
| 16372s | the zone we don't care it's the last |
| 16373s | round we're going out with the bang exit |
| 16375s | trying to make the Zone he's made a |
| 16377s | mistake he doesn't want to be here |
| 16378s | anymore but unfortunately Fong is here |
| 16381s | to capitalize on this mistake and xxy |
| 16384s | ends up getting to Live Another Day |
| 16388s | yeah xxy gonna break away here |
| 16390s | unfortunately can't actually push down |
| 16392s | this hill as multiple players waiting in |
| 16394s | the wings and man what a bloodbath we've |
| 16397s | already had here in our sixth game at |
| 16400s | Jail's ego here gonna pick up some |
| 16402s | dandelions uh looking at all these |
| 16404s | players going into the realm of Yang he |
| 16406s | just decides to take the time to go and |
| 16407s | take the repair he doesn't want to |
| 16409s | pressure and do it giving how many |
| 16410s | players are there he knows he can find |
| 16412s | himself in a bad situation uh if he |
| 16414s | tries to pressure onto it wbg spider |
| 16416s | gonna be going head to head with gs's |
| 16418s | T225 both of them gonna go Airborne |
| 16420s | using that little grappling trick on the |
| 16423s | wall there to get themselves as high up |
| 16425s | as seemingly possible in its Feria |
| 16426s | versus Feria here T225 already burnt the |
| 16430s | pillar and burned their abs spider's |
| 16432s | still holding onto the boat spider gonna |
| 16433s | drop their pillar now just trying to |
| 16435s | play T225 keeping them away from their |
| 16437s | own pillar if they can control the |
| 16439s | neutral they win this but spider |
| 16441s | unfortunately not able to keep T225 from |
| 16443s | getting the pillar will find a heel |
| 16445s | before they go up into their own like |
| 16447s | T225 able to find the first big shot out |
| 16450s | onto spider but spider with the heel |
| 16452s | Advantage can just sit here and take the |
| 16454s | trades T225 gonna armor up at seconds |
| 16457s | before wbg spider meaning he takes |
| 16460s | control of the trades with those cannon |
| 16462s | shots gonna stagger spider twice spider |
| 16464s | not trying to make the same mistake that |
| 16467s | he made into jdg xujang last time knows |
| 16469s | that these shots are coming out but it's |
| 16471s | just gonna move horizontally so that he |
| 16473s | doesn't end up falling victim to this |
| 16475s | huge cannon shots coming through T225 |
| 16477s | losing control of what little control |
| 16480s | they did have in the fight the spider |
| 16481s | looks to come back but T225 with the |
| 16484s | nunchucks gonna find a little bit of |
| 16485s | quality but spider with the pistol able |
| 16487s | to quickly flip the fight on its head |
| 16489s | and wbg spider comes out on top in your |
| 16492s | realm of yang |
| 16494s | man that's unfortunate for 225 this was |
| 16496s | a really big fight for him to take down |
| 16499s | the goat himself spider but spider |
| 16501s | showing exactly why he is a goat with |
| 16503s | the clutch pistol shots he doesn't take |
| 16505s | the risk he knows 225 is a crazy Gambler |
| 16508s | he doesn't want to be close anymore |
| 16509s | after eating two Blues to the chin and |
| 16511s | ends up backing off and just clutching |
| 16512s | up with two very clean pistol shots one |
| 16515s | other thing that's really impressive |
| 16517s | about spider that a lot of people don't |
| 16520s | give him credit for is I I come from a |
| 16522s | long lineage of FPS and Counter-Strike |
| 16524s | being a professional Counter-Strike |
| 16525s | player back in my day and seeing the |
| 16528s | level of aim that spider is able to |
| 16530s | actually have in this game it really |
| 16533s | shows that |
| 16534s | what uh good aim can do for you it is I |
| 16537s | think the difference between Mike |
| 16539s | Mike and spider being the top two |
| 16542s | players is the actual aim Mike |
| 16544s | phenomenal neutral 225 phenomenal |
| 16547s | neutral as you're seeing it here just |
| 16548s | throwing Blues choosing recognizing that |
| 16552s | the blues are being said bets it all on |
| 16554s | red now choosing but at one HP but 225 |
| 16557s | with the constant pressure able to take |
| 16560s | him down as I was saying before though |
| 16562s | the phenomenal aim of 225 and spider |
| 16565s | they're definitely in A League of Their |
| 16566s | Own as far as like finding these clean |
| 16569s | shots and in Morocco you have infinite |
| 16571s | movement uh opportunities it is really |
| 16573s | really hard to shoot people where you |
| 16575s | essentially have to guess where someone |
| 16577s | is going to move because weapons if you |
| 16580s | swing it blocks a shot if you dodge it |
| 16582s | iframes the shot if you double jump |
| 16585s | you have two different jumps to get away |
| 16587s | your movement is highly unpredictable |
| 16589s | now Shen you one absolutely lobbied by |
| 16592s | all three of these players absolutely |
| 16595s | burning this Mech in less than five |
| 16597s | seconds getting DMX I don't know if he's |
| 16599s | gonna be able to live this situation he |
| 16600s | does end up getting a Perry but the |
| 16602s | cannon from xxy ends up joinking the |
| 16605s | kill in this Mirage of players and now |
| 16607s | thong with the monk hold you love to see |
| 16609s | it Rune keeper like why are we going to |
| 16611s | see any of these little grabs you can't |
| 16612s | really tell what only he has because he |
| 16615s | does have the amazing Transformer skin |
| 16618s | this beefy monk showing his alphabeness |
| 16621s | this chat of the lobby showing everyone |
| 16623s | that the points don't matter that the |
| 16625s | love for naraka matters even with his |
| 16628s | dagger doesn't care what anyone else |
| 16630s | thinks I'm sending to the skies looking |
| 16632s | to get this heel off |
| 16634s | now Fong I hope he lives in this |
| 16636s | situation he does have this house and |
| 16638s | tree to work with he has xxy chasing him |
| 16640s | xxy not the most experienced player with |
| 16642s | chasing is he gonna lock down one of the |
| 16645s | veterans of this game even though Fong |
| 16648s | is on a monk I'm really curious to see |
| 16650s | if Fong is running Perryville keeper I |
| 16653s | want to see it happen |
| 16654s | look if if I'm falling here honestly he |
| 16657s | makes the right decision with the |
| 16658s | ultimate right he just uses it as a |
| 16661s | reset and then is able to break line of |
| 16662s | sight as immediately after he demunks I |
| 16665s | agree with the decision now he's got xxy |
| 16667s | on the Run phone by the way I love this |
| 16669s | he's just on to zepings In the Zone |
| 16672s | typically you would never want to fight |
| 16674s | zaping his own much less on to the T on |
| 16677s | the high but he's got the Assassins |
| 16679s | Legend fun just does not care whatsoever |
| 16682s | gonna skill diff the whole lobby while |
| 16685s | playing dead High ego here on the |
| 16687s | receiving end it's a massive ballista |
| 16689s | shots coming in from Wang Liang and |
| 16692s | Panda man more than happy to count |
| 16694s | capitalize on those ballista shots |
| 16695s | coming through locks ego down this is |
| 16698s | where you don't want to be if you're a |
| 16700s | Target you've already popped your |
| 16701s | ultimate find yourself on that uppercut |
| 16703s | from the katana you know the infinite's |
| 16705s | coming unfortunately Panda man doesn't |
| 16707s | even need to go for it as the first |
| 16709s | damage coming in from the uppercut more |
| 16712s | than enough to secure him the |
| 16713s | elimination he just cancel the hold on |
| 16715s | to some of that charge man what a place |
| 16718s | uh for panda man to find himself there |
| 16720s | and Fong with two eliminations on Tian |
| 16723s | High seems top six he's top six on Buck |
| 16727s | right now I look this is where I geek |
| 16730s | out a lot of people don't know this |
| 16731s | because you know you pop over in my |
| 16734s | streams and stuff and typically you're |
| 16735s | gonna see me playing uh you know Viper |
| 16737s | you're gonna see me playing Takeda and |
| 16739s | Tarka I used to be a Dirty Dan High main |
| 16743s | back in the day during all of the closed |
| 16745s | alphas and betas I was one of the top 10 |
| 16748s | high players uh during release and I as |
| 16751s | soon as they started nerfing him I had |
| 16754s | did I just fell out of love with him but |
| 16756s | he's still a character that always has |
| 16758s | this massive love in my heart so to see |
| 16761s | one here and Solo's just absolutely |
| 16763s | going crazy no way no way he goes for |
| 16766s | the realm of Yang he doesn't get it I |
| 16769s | wanted to see it so bad Fong absolute |
| 16772s | mad lad many dude he's a player after my |
| 16775s | art he really is oh my God the Assassins |
| 16778s | coming in just does spider dirty spider |
| 16781s | gonna let him get away with it Ops for |
| 16783s | the reset Fung oh my God please Morty |
| 16786s | and high in solos |
| 16788s | uh I was hoping that Fong had a better |
| 16791s | gamer figure but we have Panda man you |
| 16793s | were saying your First Love monk Tarka |
| 16796s | was my first love I've been watching |
| 16797s | panda Man Forever he's been |
| 16800s | in my cross as one of the Premier Taco |
| 16803s | players now even though I don't really |
| 16805s | like playing Tarka anymore the infinite |
| 16807s | being a little bit boring to me it still |
| 16810s | has a soft place in my heart to see the |
| 16812s | Fire Dog going at it cleaning up T225 |
| 16816s | and man I just I want to see T225 rise |
| 16820s | to the occasion you love to see that |
| 16821s | that Cinderella story where a player is |
| 16824s | able to over overcome his demons and |
| 16826s | take his rifle spot at the top but |
| 16828s | unfortunately there can only be so many |
| 16831s | players at the top and right now we have |
| 16834s | spider at the top playing a really |
| 16837s | really strong game |
| 16840s | with this Moon band coming in man you |
| 16843s | know what what actually happened to me |
| 16845s | you have you ever seen in Pro play |
| 16847s | someone died to one of these uh random |
| 16850s | Moon Bays yes absolutely we see it all |
| 16853s | the time especially in solos people will |
| 16856s | just completely ego these Moon bays and |
| 16859s | they go oh hey I'm a pro player you know |
| 16861s | I know how to surf the moon Banes and |
| 16863s | then they find themselves getting hit by |
| 16866s | one Moon Bay and they weren't expecting |
| 16867s | like off camera from behind and then it |
| 16870s | juggles them consecutively into like the |
| 16872s | second and third one and then all of a |
| 16874s | sudden they find themselves completely |
| 16876s | eliminated and we've cut the spiders |
| 16879s | face before when it's happened to him |
| 16881s | and the look on his face is just pure |
| 16883s | disappointment you're like what have I |
| 16885s | done to myself it's so great when you |
| 16888s | see it happen hey you know what it |
| 16889s | reminds me of it reminds me of the very |
| 16892s | beginning of season two when we had more |
| 16895s | zile uh finally coming into the meta and |
| 16897s | the players coming into it and so many |
| 16900s | players dying to traps because they did |
| 16902s | not know the map because they were |
| 16905s | forced to play more style for so long |
| 16906s | even though Hollow Roth was out they |
| 16909s | weren't competing on Hollow Roth so they |
| 16911s | weren't practicing the map so when we |
| 16913s | had that very quick shift over so many |
| 16916s | players just had no idea what to do |
| 16918s | about the traps what was a trap or |
| 16920s | wasn't I loved watching that it's such a |
| 16923s | great moment for us viewers and makes me |
| 16926s | feel a lot better because For the First |
| 16927s | Time I died to a random Moon Bane and if |
| 16929s | spider died to a moon Bane that |
| 16932s | definitely softens the blow to the ego |
| 16933s | just uh sometimes you just get really |
| 16935s | unlucky but T225 trying to change his |
| 16940s | look but we have is that thong on monk |
| 16942s | looking to hunt down spider on the monk |
| 16944s | I just can't believe this man is on Tien |
| 16948s | Hai looking to grief all these strong |
| 16950s | players there's just like a lose-lose |
| 16952s | situation when you run into his dagger |
| 16955s | monk you want you know that you should |
| 16957s | kill him but you it's not that easy to |
| 16960s | kill him because he technically has a |
| 16961s | second life you need to have multiple |
| 16963s | players help you take him down and and |
| 16966s | Fong is not making it easy he's weaving |
| 16968s | in and out he's playing that dagger |
| 16970s | perfectly looking for the assassination |
| 16972s | play I would have to be a little bit |
| 16974s | trolled and peeved if I'm a spider in |
| 16976s | 225 with this Chan High Flex with the |
| 16980s | Assassins lunge looking to get in but |
| 16983s | now 225 on spider his his rival looking |
| 16987s | to take that big spot away from spider |
| 16989s | as the premiere and BPL fighter 225 with |
| 16994s | longsword rarely do I see him run long |
| 16996s | sword in nbpl I'm curious to see if he |
| 16998s | throws his similar Gambit of a double |
| 17001s | throwing 0.9 folks attacks over and over |
| 17004s | just trying to get that Focus attack in |
| 17006s | as soon as possible what this is |
| 17008s | actually really rare goonkeeper were we |
| 17010s | seeing spider actually slow down he's |
| 17012s | actually done with this shenanigan like |
| 17015s | Fong seeing a monk poke him in the back |
| 17017s | over and over chasing 225 in a circle it |
| 17020s | looks like after a long day of nbpo even |
| 17023s | spiders a little tired of the |
| 17024s | shenanigans he's just like you know what |
| 17027s | realistically No One's Gonna Die here |
| 17029s | I'm done with this you guys are just |
| 17031s | burning my resources you're seeing tt225 |
| 17034s | with three white heels two blue heels |
| 17036s | he's looking to still get it in spider |
| 17039s | finally sees him come out looking |
| 17041s | to trap225 he knows that 225 loves |
| 17045s | throwing those Blues I wouldn't surprise |
| 17047s | me if spider gets a big Parry on him but |
| 17049s | two two five he doesn't care if he gets |
| 17051s | buried even if you hit him once twice |
| 17054s | three times he's still gonna get oogly |
| 17056s | and throw more folks attacks now Funk |
| 17058s | jumps back into his almost coming out of |
| 17060s | the Shadows with his assassin's lunch |
| 17062s | forcing spider to go into his Mech |
| 17065s | spider getting absolutely trolled by the |
| 17067s | lobby now a cannon player looking to get |
| 17069s | that flame breath spider able to |
| 17071s | disengage getting some heals off in this |
| 17073s | Mech looking to get a breather but the |
| 17075s | lobby will not let him go spider not |
| 17078s | looking to go out without a fight he's |
| 17080s | gonna go out on his shield he's willing |
| 17082s | to throw those one HP Perry's but T225 |
| 17086s | end up dying to Yang depletion not able |
| 17088s | to pick up a kill here |
| 17090s | but Panda man coming up that crowd |
| 17093s | favorite Tarka and we we have fun with |
| 17096s | the tree monk looking to get that double |
| 17098s | gram under no pressure showing us what |
| 17101s | he he's all about he's about that Joy |
| 17104s | he's looking to get a grab on spider |
| 17105s | spider |
| 17109s | looking to Just Tab dots over and over |
| 17112s | funk he's gonna keep trying try trying |
| 17115s | again spider with a disrespectable tuna |
| 17119s | in his face saying you can't get me here |
| 17121s | now spider looking to take down |
| 17127s | ends up putting spider in a tough |
| 17129s | position spider running away this is |
| 17132s | something that is on uh overlooked at |
| 17134s | spider's game his ability to get out of |
| 17136s | his sticky situation but he's not able |
| 17139s | to it with the dagger oh Shanghai |
| 17142s | ends up taking spider and now they're |
| 17144s | getting a huge Prairie on Panda man |
| 17146s | Panda's confused we gotta we got an |
| 17148s | assassins lunge tan High going crazy in |
| 17150s | the lobby |
| 17152s | along with the F1 now |
| 17155s | Panda man with the target putting a ton |
| 17158s | of pressure on fog he doesn't have all |
| 17160s | he needs 15 he has these rocks the |
| 17163s | kaidon panda man sick of the shenanigans |
| 17166s | he's looking to put thong in the dirt |
| 17168s | for his trolling monk but fog it doesn't |
| 17171s | matter what character is it on as long |
| 17173s | as he has the dagger he's a threat to be |
| 17175s | messed with he still has he still has |
| 17177s | his belt up he's able to keep kiting |
| 17179s | this enraged Tarka looking to get this |
| 17182s | Tian High out of this Lobby it's a 1v1 |
| 17185s | for the lobby you never would expect |
| 17187s | Fong to get this far into this end game |
| 17190s | he's the crowd please he has his own up |
| 17192s | he's unfortunately in a tooth Wick and |
| 17196s | doesn't get his monk alt out and Panda |
| 17198s | man able to close out the day with a |
| 17201s | gray kill Panda man with that Death |
| 17202s | Stare unamused can high easy but even |
| 17206s | Panama can't make a smile what is his |
| 17208s | name thinking |
| 17212s | oh my goodness Fang coming in with the |
| 17215s | TN High I wanted I wanted the TNI MVP so |
| 17219s | bad he was one kill away from it but can |
| 17220s | man gonna be walking away our MVP for |
| 17223s | game number six on target here Matt this |
| 17227s | is a soul Jade I feel is heavily slept |
| 17230s | on uh by so many players the Assassins |
| 17233s | lunge on the dagger not only does it do |
| 17236s | so much damage if you're able to connect |
| 17239s | on it but the extra range that it gives |
| 17241s | the dagger on the follow-up you're able |
| 17244s | to just instantly use that dagger Dash |
| 17246s | into that Assassin's lunge just come up |
| 17249s | on these players from distances they |
| 17251s | don't expect with the dagger it's one of |
| 17253s | those things that I love so much about |
| 17256s | naraka blade point because you get so |
| 17259s | used to fighting these weapons in |
| 17261s | certain ways right you learn the |
| 17263s | distances you know where you're safe |
| 17264s | where you're not safe all of a sudden a |
| 17268s | player picks up a soul Jade you're not |
| 17270s | used to seeing we talked about it |
| 17271s | earlier with jabbing right where you're |
| 17273s | able to just create this sort of new |
| 17276s | space and you go oh I'm safe at this |
| 17277s | distance all of a sudden that full range |
| 17280s | jabbing or that full range assassins |
| 17282s | lunge connects onto you your whole plans |
| 17285s | out the window you're playing on the |
| 17287s | back foot now and your mental is in a |
| 17289s | terrible position because you're just |
| 17291s | like I knew how to fight this and now I |
| 17294s | don't because I was not expecting that |
| 17296s | extra range or I was not expecting that |
| 17298s | shift up that comes through some of the |
| 17300s | Soul Jades and it's one of those things |
| 17301s | you only get from naraka blade Point |
| 17303s | you're not gonna get this from other |
| 17306s | Battle Royale type games or other you |
| 17308s | know FPS games yeah you can pick up an |
| 17310s | attachment for your gun but |
| 17312s | realistically at the end of the day it |
| 17313s | doesn't change how that weapon you know |
| 17317s | operates too terribly much in into you |
| 17321s | playing into it anyway but in naraka you |
| 17324s | have these rhythms memorized you have |
| 17326s | these ranges memorized you have the |
| 17328s | optimal what's the optimal answer to the |
| 17331s | charge left click from the dagger |
| 17332s | memorized because when you're in those |
| 17334s | situations that muscle memory is what is |
| 17337s | going to serve you well it's how you're |
| 17339s | able to capitalize and come out on top |
| 17341s | of fights that you otherwise should not |
| 17343s | but as soon as a soul Jade comes in and |
| 17347s | changes that momentum changes up the |
| 17350s | spacing that that weapon creates it |
| 17352s | feels like you're fighting an entirely |
| 17354s | different weapon and if you don't have |
| 17357s | it memorized because you've not fought |
| 17359s | it a lot all of a sudden you find |
| 17361s | yourself going oh what am I supposed to |
| 17364s | do into this and then you find yourself |
| 17367s | getting eliminated by it and I love to |
| 17370s | see Fang just take that to the absolute |
| 17372s | extreme comes in on Tien High finds the |
| 17374s | Assassin's lunge that he's looking for |
| 17376s | and just capitalize on it time and time |
| 17378s | time again goes to second place with |
| 17381s | three eliminations on monkeys easily |
| 17384s | gonna be second place overall in the |
| 17386s | lobby man what a game we got treated to |
| 17388s | for game number six Raven |
| 17391s | hi I absolutely love today Fong and it |
| 17394s | was beautifully said about naraka and |
| 17396s | just what what naraka has over FPS games |
| 17399s | and just fighting games in general like |
| 17401s | I've competed in every single genre of |
| 17404s | Esports and the one thing I really |
| 17405s | really love about naraka and fighting |
| 17407s | games in general is you really really |
| 17409s | get to know your opponents every single |
| 17412s | player here has fought against each |
| 17413s | other over and over and over and it's |
| 17415s | not like an FPS game where you can just |
| 17417s | sit back land a kill very safely the |
| 17420s | most |
| 17421s | famous and rock players are known for |
| 17423s | getting in there for getting for mind |
| 17426s | gaming their opponent and there's a |
| 17427s | satisfaction of boy Yi as Chinese |
| 17430s | players like it's a college where you |
| 17432s | just have the read on your opponent and |
| 17434s | Fong sending a message to the lobby |
| 17436s | going into finals that he is back to |
| 17439s | form that he doesn't need any of the |
| 17441s | meta characters that all he needs is a |
| 17443s | dagger and he is just a giant threat and |
| 17446s | I know everyone in the lobby after |
| 17449s | seeing that Tien Hai like there's a |
| 17451s | moment where you just see something |
| 17452s | troll where there's a slight pause and |
| 17455s | fog took advantage of it where he |
| 17456s | everyone's just like wait a second is |
| 17458s | this a monk is it a Shanghai okay can we |
| 17460s | get this guy out of here and he's like |
| 17462s | no he's killing me he has assassins what |
| 17464s | is this like dagger just has no weak |
| 17466s | Jades and Fong just sends a trolling |
| 17469s | message to everyone in the lobby just |
| 17471s | like watch out this finals this month |
| 17473s | might be coming out and if you let me |
| 17475s | get my favorite my My One True Love My |
| 17477s | dagger you let me get any of these Jades |
| 17479s | I am a force to be reckoned with you |
| 17481s | better watch out and everyone has to be |
| 17485s | going to the backs of the Playboy like |
| 17487s | did that guy just really play channel |
| 17489s | did I just watch Tarka |
| 17492s | and |
| 17493s | monk go to the final two on a daytime |
| 17497s | Morris like what are we doing guys like |
| 17500s | what do we do the mind game that fog |
| 17503s | sent to this Lobby is just amazing and |
| 17506s | you love to see Panda man showing |
| 17509s | everyone that he is still a force to be |
| 17510s | reckoned with with that Tarka and hit |
| 17512s | that that Scout Room Keeper I would say |
| 17514s | out of all all the stuff like looks and |
| 17517s | the poker faces I would hate to have |
| 17519s | Panda man at the poker table that that |
| 17522s | is just like an absolute Death Stare oh |
| 17525s | absolutely I mean Panda man's got to be |
| 17527s | happy about this by the way Panda man |
| 17529s | unfortunately last year I mean his |
| 17532s | second MVP of the Season congratulations |
| 17534s | to him unfortunately last year he failed |
| 17537s | to make it into Worlds by a single point |
| 17540s | it literally came down to the last game |
| 17543s | of qualifiers and the last kill in the |
| 17547s | lobby he I we got to watch him and man |

| 17564s | watch and US casters you know we fell in |
| 17566s | love with him just as much as the |
| 17568s | audience did he is at the end of the day |
| 17570s | above everything else panaman is a |
| 17572s | showman he comes out and puts a show on |
| 17575s | every single game that he's in and we |
| 17578s | love to see uh here today you know he |
| 17580s | was already qualified for the bi-weekly |
| 17582s | final this week but to cap the week out |
| 17584s | on an MVP for himself he's got to be |
| 17586s | feeling really good right now and you |
| 17588s | know this is something I think he needs |
| 17590s | as a player he's got to remember uh that |
| 17593s | even though he didn't make it into |
| 17595s | Worlds he is probably one of the most |
| 17597s | enjoyable players to watch and he proves |
| 17600s | time and time again that he's one of the |
| 17602s | most skillful players we watched him |
| 17604s | during season two of the nbpl trade with |
| 17607s | wbg spider when spider was arguably at |
| 17610s | the top of his game it seemed like every |
| 17613s | game game we would come in it would be |
| 17615s | kaibao and spider going back and forth |
| 17617s | kaibao would pick up an elimination on |
| 17619s | spider spider would go and respawn come |
| 17621s | back pick up an elimination onto kaibao |
| 17623s | kaibao would uh come back start fighting |
| 17626s | spider again and then it would come down |
| 17628s | to a 50 50 who won and even in the final |
| 17631s | moments of that last season of nbpl |
| 17634s | where spider comes out Champion it |
| 17637s | literally comes down to the last kill |
| 17638s | between a fight with panda Man and |
| 17641s | spider so I think realistically you know |
| 17644s | panaman just a great player happy to see |
| 17646s | it happen here but we're gonna throw |
| 17648s | things over to Jaeger for an interview |
| 17650s | before we come back and look at the |
| 17651s | final scoreboard for this bi-weekly |
| 17653s | solos |
| 17657s | hey guys this is and welcome |
| 17660s | and now I'm standing here with Mike and |
| 17662s | let him say hello to our audience |
| 17671s | so first I would like to know how's your |
| 17674s | feeling because it seems like today we |
| 17676s | can finish the match like seven minutes |
| 17679s | earlier |
| 17684s | [Music] |
| 17690s | okay I'm very happy today because we |
| 17693s | finished the match early today and I'm |
| 17696s | going to eat the dinner with our solo |
| 17698s | player together okay let's move on to |
| 17700s | next part answer for treasure |
| 17704s | hello |
| 17714s | okay so we can see a question on the |
| 17718s | screen and if you know the answer just |
| 17720s | type them in the chat box after our |
| 17723s | player counting three two one we will |
| 17725s | take a screenshot and the lucky guy will |
| 17727s | be whispered okay so let's see today's |
| 17729s | question |
| 17731s | today's question is who is qualified to |
| 17734s | the bi-weekly final now |
| 17752s | um |
| 17759s | okay so I recognize who just qualified |
| 17763s | to the bi-weekly final and I think that |
| 17765s | player at the beginning of the bi-weekly |
| 17769s | final it seems like it's very stable and |
| 17771s | improved a lot in this double week and I |
| 17774s | think our players prepared in it's time |
| 17777s | for us to Counting now do the my mind |
| 17785s | screenshot okay the lucky guy will be |
| 17788s | whispered and it's time for us to find |
| 17790s | out the correct answer now my mind |
| 17798s | yes so the correct answer is |
| 17803s | okay so we like today we saw a lot of |
| 17806s | fever in the solo game and I would like |
| 17809s | to know how Mike comment on this hero |
| 17812s | and do you have any recommend to us like |
| 17815s | the skill and ultimate to bring in the |
| 17818s | solo game and trolls game today |
| 17846s | [Music] |
| 17863s | foreign |
| 17870s | [Music] |
| 17889s | and it's very fit to this stable player |
| 17892s | to get more score in match and for the |
| 17895s | skills and ultimate I think in the solo |
| 17898s | game I can recommend everyone to use the |
| 17901s | F1 V3 and in the trolls game I think F |
| 17904s | F3 and V3 is more fit to the trolls game |
| 17908s | because for its V3 it has silence and it |
| 17911s | can just like using the Vipers V2 okay |
| 17927s | thank you Mike for today's interview and |
| 17929s | we will get back to our customers |
| 17933s | foreign |
| 17936s | welcome back thank you Jaeger so much |
| 17938s | for the wonderful interview |
| 17939s | man what a blessed day we've had here |
| 17942s | Raven a |
| 17944s | so many incredible moments and games |
| 17947s | I love naraka blade point so so much as |
| 17953s | a game and it's like every time I come |
| 17956s | back to cast naraka every single week I |
| 17959s | think to myself you know there's moments |
| 17961s | that are just never going to be outdone |
| 17965s | and then we come into a day like today |
| 17967s | and we just see these incredible moments |
| 17970s | take place get absolutely blown out the |
| 17972s | water Fang playing Tien high in this |
| 17974s | last game getting second place picking |
| 17975s | up three eliminations just completely |
| 17978s | skill-diffing people uh without |
| 17980s | assassins lunge playing those mind games |
| 17983s | uh game four where we see jdg's Chu |
| 17986s | Zhang not only capitalize on spider |
| 17989s | making mistake in realm of Yang but then |
| 17991s | literally hunting him down and making |
| 17994s | sure that he dies to gang depletion in |
| 17996s | the most humiliating way possible I mean |
| 17999s | it just some incredible moments today |
| 18001s | from start to finish every single game |
| 18004s | went absolutely wild that's what I love |
| 18008s | so much about naraka is every time I |
| 18011s | think it can't get more exciting these |
| 18014s | Pro players come in and prove me wrong |
| 18015s | Raven |
| 18017s | yeah I absolutely roomkeeper I'm so |
| 18020s | happy that Mike's back in the game I was |
| 18022s | a little sad that a lot of the OG's uh |
| 18025s | either retired or went back to stream |
| 18027s | dalheli but with choosing showing what |
| 18030s | the league has to offer and there's |
| 18032s | up-and-coming talent and demo I think |
| 18034s | there's still a really really bright |
| 18035s | future for nbpl I'm excited to see what |
| 18039s | these finals brings we're seeing a lot |
| 18040s | of new new ideas new Concepts so we're |
| 18043s | not in that stale meta I think naraka |
| 18045s | has done a great job spicing up the |
| 18048s | rules not letting people fall into their |
| 18050s | one tricks we're seeing a lot of |
| 18052s | different weapons normally and every |
| 18054s | other meta we've seen in naraka it's |
| 18056s | usually been like one weapon what you |
| 18058s | saw here like even though dagger is very |
| 18059s | strong uh you're seeing a lot more long |
| 18061s | source that was kind of the new thing |
| 18063s | that I saw today that I didn't see |
| 18064s | elsewhere that that max range range |
| 18067s | Focus attack being super good in endgame |
| 18069s | plus all that Mobility uh I'm super |
| 18072s | happy where the game is going right now |
| 18073s | even though uh the bottom |
| 18076s | 15 players don't get to go to finals a |
| 18078s | value and effort from all these players |
| 18080s | they're all really really strong players |
| 18082s | now most of these plays aren't veterans |
| 18084s | it takes a lot to do this at a very high |
| 18087s | level to have the consistency that you |
| 18089s | talk about all the time it's not about |
| 18091s | those big big swings that matter |
| 18094s | unfortunately uh your team kaibao I was |
| 18098s | rooting for kaibouts and wolves to kind |
| 18100s | of turn it around they just got to go |
| 18102s | back to the drawing boards a respectable |
| 18105s | around 20 points just around like uh |
| 18108s | halfway there and I'm sure after a |
| 18110s | little bit of work uh wolves can |
| 18112s | definitely bring it back and make it to |
| 18114s | finals in this next bi-weekly xxy right |
| 18117s | on the cusp that has to be heartbreaking |
| 18119s | and I know Shaw was sweating it watching |
| 18122s | this game very closely able to clutch it |
| 18125s | up at 14th and railgun having a great |
| 18129s | week again that Cinderella story he's |
| 18132s | one of the up and coming talents new to |
| 18134s | the league but still being able to show |
| 18136s | himself at these finals recce demo neck |
| 18141s | to neck uh demo was ad rank uh number |
| 18144s | one but going into this final day we all |
| 18146s | kind of expected him to drop off but 27 |
| 18149s | points and 20 points are two super super |
| 18152s | solid score points and I'm excited and |
| 18154s | I'm betting that he's gonna be in the |
| 18156s | top five now at the top of the mountain |
| 18159s | though Fong even though he's not at the |
| 18162s | top he's at the top in my heart playing |
| 18164s | that Tien High dagger not caring at all |
| 18167s | and Mike just the crowd favorite I've |
| 18171s | been watching Mike from day one I've |
| 18173s | known about him before he was even the |
| 18175s | league there was The up-and-coming |
| 18177s | Prodigy who was too young to play at the |
| 18179s | first world but everyone knew he was the |
| 18181s | best player in the game I don't know if |
| 18183s | it ever will be repeated that a new |
| 18185s | player will come to mvpl and absolutely |
| 18187s | dominate Mike not being here last season |
| 18190s | showing everyone that he will always be |
| 18192s | one of the best solo players in the |
| 18195s | raqqa still at the top to going into |
| 18199s | the last I only barely behind T225 now |
| 18203s | I'm hoping that T225 finally breaks his |
| 18207s | curse finally overcomes his demons like |
| 18210s | I I love to see players overcome and |
| 18213s | Inspire that all the other players |
| 18215s | knowing that just because everyone |
| 18216s | counts you out just because some people |
| 18218s | may think you have a weak mental you can |
| 18220s | overcome and adjust and evolve and grow |
| 18223s | now spider even though he didn't have |
| 18227s | the best day today he will always be one |
| 18229s | of the most consistent and best fighters |
| 18231s | in the game now I think a lot of a lot |
| 18234s | of rare in his armor seeing shoes |
| 18237s | and get the best of him spider usually |
| 18239s | gets the best of everyone and people |
| 18241s | only get lucky versus him but shoes eggs |
| 18243s | showing that luck was not a factor in |
| 18246s | any of these equations not killing |
| 18248s | killing spider not once not twice but |
| 18250s | three times and forcing spider in a |
| 18253s | submission that he would rather just die |
| 18255s | and ends up still getting last hit by |
| 18257s | choosing that has to be lingering in |
| 18260s | Spider's mind when you're at the top you |
| 18262s | have to wonder do you still have it can |
| 18264s | you still keep going it's one thing to |
| 18267s | get there but can you hold it |
| 18269s | this is this is the thing with wbg |
| 18271s | spider and I talk about it all the time |
| 18273s | and I know spider fans hate me for |
| 18275s | bringing this up but spider is a feast |
| 18278s | or famine player as soon as he has a bad |
| 18282s | game where he struggles is not in his |
| 18285s | mechanics it's not typically in his |
| 18287s | decision making it's his mental he falls |
| 18290s | apart for a player like jdg's Chu Jang |
| 18293s | to just skill dip him not once but three |
| 18296s | times in the same game that is the sort |
| 18299s | of thing that spirals wbg spider out |
| 18302s | onto these sort of losing streaks where |
| 18304s | he starts to have bad games where he |
| 18306s | starts to make bad decisions and I think |
| 18309s | chujang knew that because the worst |
| 18312s | thing for spider when I typically see |
| 18315s | spiders start to fall apart is when he |
| 18317s | dies off riff Choo Zhang targets out the |
| 18321s | places he knows where spider likes to |
| 18323s | spawn is able to catch spider out early |
| 18325s | eliminates him early forces spider back |
| 18328s | to the soul alter spider then it starts |
| 18331s | to have that spiral of mental that I |
| 18333s | think Chu Zhang knew he was going to |
| 18336s | have after he picks up that elimination |
| 18338s | he goes into the realm of Yang is able |
| 18340s | to find Spider there knows that spider |
| 18343s | you know we're having that mental spiral |
| 18346s | we died off rip makes the poor man's |
| 18348s | decision to go into that realm of Yang |
| 18350s | and Chu Zhang is waiting there to |
| 18353s | capitalize on it once he realizes it was |
| 18356s | spider that he eliminates for the second |
| 18357s | time Chu Jiang has no intention of |
| 18361s | backing off of that it wants to Ram his |
| 18364s | mental into the dirt does exactly that |
| 18367s | and here's the thing is I think there |
| 18368s | were opportunities for jdg's Chu Jiang |
| 18371s | to just eliminate spider when he had the |
| 18373s | Yang depletion outright in the fight |
| 18376s | right but Chu Zhang decides that's not |
| 18380s | what I want to do what I want to do is |
| 18382s | continue to pressure his mental knows |
| 18387s | that the mental is where spider's |
| 18388s | weakness is |
| 18389s | continues to just Hound spider down does |
| 18394s | not allow him to find the position to |
| 18397s | find that Soul Bloom to get rid of that |
| 18399s | Yang depletion and then as if to add |
| 18402s | insult to injury as soon as Spider goes |
| 18405s | to run off in the zone curl up and die |
| 18407s | like we see some of these players doing |
| 18409s | instead of fighting and going out on his |
| 18412s | shield what do we see Chu Zhang do he |
| 18414s | makes up he takes a long range shot tips |
| 18417s | him in the toe and says yeah you can go |
| 18419s | curl up and die in the zone but I'm |
| 18421s | gonna pick up that third elimination on |
| 18422s | you and we see spider just completely |
| 18425s | defeated like you said there's like a |
| 18427s | little trail of Soul Jades where spiders |
| 18429s | just like man really I'm just throw it |
| 18433s | all away I'm walking out of the Zone |
| 18435s | this game's a complete and utter wash |
| 18437s | and I think Chu Jiang did all of that on |
| 18440s | purpose 100 he knows that's where |
| 18443s | spider's weakness lies is in the mental |
| 18445s | and he knows if he can get under |
| 18447s | spider's skin that it's going to help |
| 18449s | his chances his odds going into the |
| 18452s | bi-weekly final because the big question |
| 18455s | is now is not if spider is you know |
| 18458s | going to the bi-weekly final because he |
| 18460s | clearly is is can he reset from the |
| 18463s | mental pounding that jdg's Chu Zhang |
| 18466s | gave him in game number four or will he |
| 18469s | suffer like we've seen wbg spiders |
| 18471s | suffer before going into the bi-weekly |
| 18474s | off a set of bad games and just |
| 18476s | continuing to perform poorly |
