3629s bi-weekly trios qualifying into the
3631s bi-weekly finals we got all the teams
3634s today fighting it out scrapping it out
3636s to try and make it to this weekend's
3638s finals I am joined here with the ug the
3641s one and only number one Western coach
3645s cast he my boy my good friend The Raven
3647s plz how you doing Raven wonderful Duncan
3650s I'm happy to be here it's always a
3653s pleasure to cast with you brother but
3655s today trios last day like you said
3658s probably the last time that we will see
3661s this patch we're going be starting out
3663s the day with three holl off into three
3666s morrises man it's been a good time
3669s looking at this patch these phases and
3671s everything um but I'm not going to lie
3674s Duncan it's been a year of this and it's
3677s just uh it's been pushed to the absolute
3681s limit we got uh the modern day
3682s Cannonball kind of like the modern day
3684s Transformers for the first time we don't
3686s really see see monk in The Meta instead
3687s we see this faia Yuan and Yodo uh with
3692s the nice little ice pick variation with
3694s the Justina but first today for all of
3697s you guys tuning in if you're watching
3700s for 15 minutes you may receive some Tay
3704s 30 minutes for 200 for some spectral
3707s silk and 60 Minutes for an actual gift
3711s now on all the B weekly finals as long
3715s as you are here with us for 60 minutes
3719s you will this week be able to have the
3722s Champions chess here oo the champion
3725s bubble choice I have to lurk the channel
3727s as well to make sure we get this prize
3730s as well indeed one thing though to note
3733s is that if you don't have your account
3736s linked is in your nraa account linked to
3739s your Twitch account then you're not
3740s going to be getting any of these things
3742s none of these goodies so make sure to go
3744s and get it linked up and you can do that
3746s on the official Nora website you'll be
3748s able to link it through there and uh one
3751s one quick thing if you're unsure if
3753s you've got it linked click in the top
3755s right hand of your screen your little
3756s profile icon and it will give you a drop
3760s down menu that says drops and rewards
3762s you can click on that you can check if
3764s you've got it connected you can see if
3765s you're progressing those Drops make sure
3767s not to miss out on those goodies but
3769s another thing to make sure not to miss
3771s out on is today's series ladies and
3773s gentlemen we' got quite a few teams
3776s lurking in the bottom six right now all
3779s of them haven't played more than one day
3782s though so I imagine the majority of
3784s these teams are going to be moving up in
3786s the standings unfortunately for wbg
3789s though they didn't have the best day one
3791s their second day was a lot better but
3794s it's definitely not going to be enough
3796s to keep them in that bi-weekly final
3800s qualification bracket so to speak
3802s they're not going to be able to stay in
3803s as drg are right below them with less
3806s than a point difference and they've got
3808s today to play same thing with J team J
3810s team might be facing elimination as well
3813s we'll have to see unless all of the
3815s bottom six teams just absolutely Breck
3818s it
3819s today I expect J team to uh to also be
3824s just um eliminated but yeah as I know
3827s exactly what you're looking at and it's
3828s BBE sitting at top the leaderboard with
3832s 141 points damn yeah damn going into
3838s bi-weekly finals 2 they were in second
3841s place surprising thing wbg right on the
3844s cus like you were point they were the uh
3847s winners of the second bi-weekly and it
3849s looks like the lobby has adjusted to
3853s compensate for what wbg was pulling off
3856s during the second weekly now looking at
3858s the actual matches afterwards wbg even
3862s though they played super well uh they
3864s were running a lot of off meta with
3865s their Tessa Monk and their I their
3868s Justina uan Yodo versus the traditional
3872s Cannonball um they a lot of the times
3874s when Thea does come out it's used to
3877s counter vipers on a lot of the Firefly
3880s days so I'm wondering
3882s how and what the lobby did to account
3885s for that it's a lot of high risk High
3887s reward and it looks like their day one
3889s did not go as well as they would like
3892s I'm sure they'll they'll be bouncing
3894s back the exciting thing though is seeing
3896s BBE finally put it together the first
3898s two weeks uh I saw them do super super
3901s well on their Viper wo and Tessa their
3906s Attack on Titan variation and they've
3908s always been really really good at this
3910s super high execution play style
3912s something that they struggled with
3914s though was that nice super slow
3917s defensive play which um at the end of
3920s this meta it looks like with teada and
3923s um SI sand siphon and Cannonball being
3926s there you have to play very very
3928s methodical just cuz both these
3930s compositions need all three ultimates to
3932s finish each other off on top of the fact
3935s that there is a V3 vipers lurking around
3938s on the map with the phases being
3940s implemented into trios we pretty much
3943s have the same type of Lobby every single
3945s round we got four cannonballs or a
3948s justtina variation with ice pick for
3951s sand siphon and four Viper compositions
3954s so right now out of all the menow I've
3957s ever seen in trios for the past 2 years
3959s of competitive moraca it's probably the
3962s most volatile as far as being able to
3964s stay alive throughout the whole
3966s round indeed I was so as you started
3970s talking about that I was I was going to
3972s ask you what do you think BBE has done
3975s to get themselves to this point so we
3977s saw them at jaob and they W they
3979s obviously weren't doing as well as they
3981s are now they they've definitely stepped
3983s up their game and what what do you think
3985s that it was or do you think that it was
3987s that they just learned to play the
3988s slower game play a little bit more
3990s methodical uh in in sort of in general
3994s or do you think it was something else
3995s that they that they managed to figure
3997s out to allow them to compete at this
3999s level in in
4001s nvpl um I saw a couple highlights from
4004s their MVP rounds just uh watching the
4007s MVP rounds on my own and it looked like
4010s they were able to get a lot more value
4012s out of their Cannonball now normally uh
4015s when they play Cannonball they would
4017s they would simply just get outclass
4019s because a lot of the Vietnamese teams
4022s their variation where they run just CA
4024s uh they enjoy a lot they mainly play
4026s verse Viper but it's very very different
4029s um beating the world class uh sand sions
4032s the teos are very good at avoiding the
4034s burst on top of the fact off one or two
4036s shs they're able to finish you off
4039s um well just Cena variation really fell
4042s off so they had to adjust to playing
4044s Faria instead and and this slow very
4047s high execution play style with the F3
4050s variation instead where you have to play
4052s off of your teammates all three people
4053s have to be on the same page um is a lot
4057s different and I think the big difference
4059s is they realize that uh playing for Yang
4063s with Cannonball uh is kind of Hit or
4066s Miss so playing for the actual chest
4069s instead is where you can get a ton of
4071s value cuz most of your kills just like
4073s traditional Transformers comes in that
4075s endgame now in the modern day nraa 2024
4078s we're having like 20 people end games
4080s versus the 40 Man end games so monk is
4083s done unnecessary with that but the next
4086s best thing is having a constant faia
4089s laying down Siege to everyone else just
4092s shooting out mortars the entire time and
4094s controlling the space and distance with
4096s the constant threat of the Yodo coming
4099s out of Mech and absolutely decimating
4101s you so I think BBE finally figures out
4104s the tempo for their particularly
4106s Cannonball they're getting a lot more
4108s value but the same thing uh with teada
4112s and sand siphon a lot of the times the
4114s mirror match up is incredibly hard of
4116s who you went for I remember when IDC was
4119s practicing against them uh their main
4122s target focus with was either zipping or
4126s teada and I feel like the modern day is
4127s a lot more Dynamic and it really depends
4131s on how the teas end up matching up of
4133s who gets low and how quickly you can
4135s Target Target uh swap there the wind
4138s condition is very very different uh than
4140s it used to be so I
4141s think I haven't seen their heads up
4143s matching but then I'm guessing looking
4145s at their te teada matches in the past
4148s they probably ironed out a lot of
4149s details there and again transition that
4151s end game finding a lot more value as
4153s well um a lot of teada endgame is
4156s strictly making sure that you Outlast
4158s the other teada composition CU you can
4160s close out the match very easily when
4163s that tiny Circle goes out it's very hard
4166s for a lot of teams to survive just
4168s because of how oppressive the teada AL
4170s actually is four four V2 two second
4174s stuns like a like a Viper coming out on
4177s you on that end game with just uh an
4181s egregious amount of range Jades going
4183s down especially this is still the old
4186s patch on the new patch uh I imagine not
4190s as many teams are going to have those
4191s oppressive Jades but at least on this
4193s old patch there's usually at least
4196s uh four to five teams who are just uh
4199s Juiced to the Moon they're just so
4200s stacked with loot yeah absolutely you
4203s know your rupture Gil orbs your
4205s merciless havocs your what else HEPA
4209s even Cavalry Bloom even though it's a
4211s purple epic Jade you know if you have a
4214s teada as you said with his V3 four
4217s charges you know he's just running
4219s around he's cutting the grass he's got
4221s the lawn mower
4222s out and just running the the end game
4226s just server admin and just putting
4228s everyone in the dirt cutting them all
4230s down with the Cavalry Bloom and there's
4232s so many other things but yeah as you
4234s said with the new patch I'm not sure if
4237s any of you have gone and tried out
4239s Immortal War I do recommend that you do
4241s go play some Immortal War when it is
4243s active in your region ladies and
4245s gentlemen try it out it's a lot of fun
4247s it's very very different to normal rank
4249s it's very different one of the big
4251s differences that that was the case
4254s beforehand was that you could buy buy uh
4257s you could buy weapons in the shop and
4258s you could when you rolled for Jades when
4261s you bought the random Jades it would be
4263s purple Rarity minimum uh it was
4266s extremely important investment to make
4267s as a team when playing trios and Mortal
4270s War but one of the big changes that
4272s they've made in the patch that we're
4273s going to be playing on next week I
4275s imagine is that now you can't well it's
4278s way more expensive the way that you get
4280s money from kills is different now as the
4283s game progresses the longer time that you
4285s spent in the game
4286s the the more money you get for getting
4289s kills the the random Soul Jade is no
4291s longer purple Rarity minimum at least
4293s not for the basic one and then you can
4296s get the purple Rarity minimum but it's
4298s going to cost a lot more money and there
4301s aren't as many of them in the shop
4303s there's actually a limit to the number
4304s that can be bought all of that sort of
4306s stuff lots and lots of interesting
4307s things if you're interested in checking
4308s it out just go in jump into Immortal War
4311s usually it's in the evening afternoon
4314s time that it becomes available you do
4316s have to be a minimum rank to be able to
4317s play it but I do recommend it it's a lot
4320s of fun let's get Immortal War popping in
4323s the western regions ladies ladies and
4324s gentlemen but for now we're going to be
4326s jumping into our first game of the day
4329s and we have a lot of Cannonball we do
4332s have a sand siphon though coming out
4334s from wolves no not sand siphon sand
4336s forers sorry I'm so used to saying sand
4338s siphon it's sand forers instead we got
4340s the tamul FIA and tianhai composition
4344s coming out for wolves definitely a an
4345s interesting composition that seen some
4347s play in the past but we haven't seen
4350s this we haven't seen this played in a
4351s very long time I don't think at least
4354s not actively played by all that many
4357s teams not since God I don't even
4359s remember do you remember the last time
4360s it was played commonly uh I heard this
4363s week from Moxy that it made an
4365s appearance the sand did make an
4367s appearance last week I I must have not
4369s caught it but nope it didn't make
4371s appearance last week the only variation
4372s we saw was Tessa monk so it looks like
4375s uh wbg made this adaptation due to the
4378s phase rules that they would keep some of
4380s their points alive so they could have uh
4383s um
4385s their normal sand Sion with teada alive
4388s for match point when it goes eight
4390s rounds so this might be an adjustment
4392s that some teams are exploring this idea
4394s now the reason why San Mech kind of fell
4397s off was the old Viper with silence was
4401s just too much a pain to deal with just
4403s running into that consistently through
4406s that uh mid game and even in end game it
4409s did a really good job of executing you
4411s because you didn't have that uan wait we
4413s got two teams running it jjh are running
4416s it too yeah two teams are running it I
4418s was very surprised cuz I'm curious to
4422s see whether or not this composition can
4425s win um versus modern day sand siphon uh
4431s we never really got to see that match up
4433s fully flush out cuz generally whenever
4435s everyone ran sandc everyone was doing
4437s mirror compositions or Transformers into
4439s it so we shall see if this works maybe
4443s this is an adjustment as well on the CN
4445s scrim server um with the new talents now
4449s technically we are still on the old
4450s patch so this may be uh an old habit but
4454s we shall see if this minmax goes down
4458s sanme was used exclusively on Hol rooth
4462s because of these wide open angles and
4464s the ability to control space in that end
4466s game so I'm excited to see this Duncan
4469s finally something new something spicy
4472s something spicy I like it little bit of
4476s Sichuan tactics in the trios special
4480s tasty we got no T yet we'll get a we'll
4483s get a t game six cop man Wishful it's
4486s wishful thinking Duncan that we're going
4487s to ever see a tar
4489s in one day one
4493s day I mean thing is so I I mean this is
4497s this is very copium but with the new
4499s patch with the new glyph system and
4502s everything taka I mean I've been testing
4505s it out he feels a lot better to play in
4507s trios because he can run that full Stam
4509s along with the rage it's still not good
4513s but it could be one of just those turbo
4516s Niche picks that gets picked up in like
4517s a game eight of a finals or something
4519s goofy you know we'll know we we we'll
4521s never know until it actually comes along
4523s but for now we're going into our first
4525s game and
4526s JL find themselves in a scrap here on
4529s the Eastern side of the map up against
4531s jdg they lose two members trade for one
4535s but unfortunately they're not really
4536s able to capitalize on this lead jdg just
4539s getting immediately jumped onto by ewg
4541s ewg being one of those teams that kind
4544s of needs to step it up they need to have
4545s a pretty solid day today to be able to
4548s secure their qualification into the
4550s finals I think they were currently
4551s sitting yep at the all the way at the
4553s bottom in 18th Place with 20
4556s 25 points so they definitely need to
4559s secure themselves a 40 50
4562s 60 kind of day if they don't they it
4565s might be really really close it will
4567s definitely come all the way down to the
4569s onto the wire but we got we're moving on
4572s up to the north GG they lost a member
4575s they're going to see if they can find
4576s this cheeky little res here te lurking
4579s as well as drg and K this is an absolute
4584s this is going to be an absolute br all
4585s Raven this is going to be crazy oh no
4587s he's already getting jumped on alexm
4590s he's trying to get up off the floor the
4591s Tess all coming in to save him peeling
4594s for just a moment drg now on the on the
4597s back foot potentially the moon Bane
4598s getting called in by K we love Moon Bane
4602s at least there's only blue ones in a
4604s moral war that is one thing that if you
4606s don't enjoy Moon ban in in your rank
4608s games IM mortal War only the Blue Moon
4610s Bane can be bought and used in that game
4613s mode so if you uh you don't enjoy it
4616s like me then uh you can always avoid
4618s them for the majority of the game KLA
4620s picking up a kill onto x z 17s trying to
4624s chase down the last remaining members of
4627s drg woing 98 is going to be taken down
4630s and K picking up four eliminations off
4633s the rip unfortunately Duncan though even
4636s though they're blue moon ban they are
4637s basically golden Immortal War K known
4640s for their Moon Bane timing attack within
4641s the first minute running in with this
4644s giant timing attack is able to fly in
4646s pick up a kill now we're going to get te
4647s versus K two juggernauts of the lobby V3
4651s is going to be invested but the usan AL
4652s is going to counter the Viper old Yodo
4654s trying to create some space for his team
4657s the te's lyd on the test of former World
4661s Champs showing up to the party taking
4665s advantage of this Cannonball Faria
4668s vulnerable giving her Mech up to the
4670s Yodo but Leo is going to Port them out
4672s they are going to Grapple out and off to
4675s back off here unfortunately not able to
4677s find the burst attack not able to
4679s connect perfectly and execute one of
4682s them and this is one
4684s of the tough parts of being this Viper
4687s composition even though you get that
4689s second life you have four minutes to
4692s basically earn your next we're going to
4694s get ewg versus jdg ewg successful off
4697s spawn they need to have a big day right
4699s now Baria invested and moon Bane
4703s invested jdg with a nice
4705s disengage right here getting to the
4707s outside keeping most of thems alive but
4709s Faria from the top ropes Landing some
4712s oppressive shots and it looks like ewg
4714s is not going to give up on this play
4716s they still have the UA Shan all to their
4718s name ewg in Hot Pursuit but jdg is
4722s splitting up and they're ready over the
4724s mountain early Swan pretty tough not
4726s having a ton of grapples but ewg had a
4730s really really great timing earlier so
4733s they should be pretty staged
4735s unfortunately not for jdg jdg only at
4738s three grapples white armor on the
4740s Justina on this ice pick comp they do
4743s have double Al and if they do get
4745s invested on they can turn around and
4747s take down the scene but the name of the
4748s game on this map on
4750s hollo Triple ults everywhere it's very
4753s dangerous to invest your ultimates going
4755s into fights see a lot of these teams
4758s fighting for loot sitting on the outside
4760s trying to really narrow down their focus
4764s fire
4765s not trying to overextend we see jjh on
4768s the sand ma this is a team that I
4770s personally want to see what's going down
4772s we're going to find fpx here mon godl
4775s looking for the opener right now looking
4777s for that good positioning all we see is
4779s a temi here looks like fpx already did
4781s cting down so this is just a nice free
4784s pick up here can they hold on to the
4785s semi fpx shiao taken to the skies nice
4789s SC coming out trying to break line of
4791s sight but the monk is going to capture
4792s up catch up to him and denies the
4795s getaway stuck in the corner looking
4798s cooked my friend but the T Al is going
4801s to be invested nowhere to go goes right
4803s back into the monks loving arms and godl
4806s he's going to pick up a free kill with
4809s that
4810s RB definitely a nice little pickup for
4813s them a cheeky little kill they haven't
4814s picked up any kills beforehand and
4817s they're going to start looking to uh I
4819s would say definitely go into the realm
4820s of Yang here even though they're not the
4823s the traditional Transformers you know
4825s they still do benefit considerably from
4827s scaling they're the kind of composition
4829s that wants to run that end game
4831s situation they don't want to get caught
4833s out by by these vipers do you do you
4837s think so one thing you were talking
4838s about before was that the sand Mech sort
4842s of fell out of meta fell out of use as
4844s it was very difficult to deal with these
4846s Viper compositions and the the silence
4849s how do you think they're going to be
4850s able to deal with these V3 vipers that
4852s we're we're seeing in this game one
4855s wonderful question Jan easy peasy
4857s because
4858s V3 is a lot easier to deal with it just
4862s you have to be very very proactive now
4864s the name of the game versus Viper as
4866s long as you have good terrain you're
4868s able
4869s to uh Dodge a lot of the silence a lot
4872s of the bursts and as long as your Faria
4875s or uh Tami does not get stunned in the
4879s situation the V3 comes in as a Goomba
4881s stomp peeling off or the temi comes
4883s flying in in AB abolutely disrupts your
4886s burst in so you only have the duration
4888s of that V3 to come in the Tessa Al won't
4891s be able to follow up that's why the
4894s actual stun end up being a lot bigger
4897s when it came to executing teams a lot of
4900s teams in the past were using
4902s V2 uh and it wasn't Tesla at the time a
4905s lot of the times it was teada so the
4908s amount of St and Crown control was
4913s insane the Tesa Discovery was really
4916s only at this last jcup where everyone
4918s transitioned to V1 um people were
4921s writing like V3 variations with Tessa
4924s but it wasn't as prevalent with like the
4926s the 8sec sun you basically landed on
4929s people but we've moved on to V3 just cuz
4932s everyone's movement everyone's mechanics
4935s after playing naraga for this long is
4938s just too good to hold one person down
4940s you need that extra pair of Hands to
4941s Hold people down we're going to see
4943s looks like wolves the other sand Mech
4947s finding fpx is zipping fpx in a Struggle
4951s Bus situation not able to get much going
4953s now water having to invest her ultimate
4955s but getting caught out here and this is
4957s the name of the game for the sand ma
4959s finding these solos and Duos these
4961s weaker white armor teams before they go
4965s into Yang the also the great part about
4967s sandc is the Box playing for box a lot
4971s used to you got that t Al to block off
4972s all the damage and claim these morrises
4975s either in early and mid and even end
4979s game first second and that final gold
4982s box it gives you an excellent play cuz
4984s you can outmuscle a lot of the sand Sion
4989s teams but speaking of sand siphon we
4992s probably we get the pleasure of watching
4995s ug versus klaa both of these teams some
4999s of the best 3v3 Yang teams in you just
5002s being picked up by ug this season he's
5005s probably the best teada in the league
5008s right now I'd say mechanically we're
5009s going to get his PO taken to the skies
5012s with the gold fan what's he going to be
5013s able to do for us he does have purple Al
5015s online f1's going to be invested now
5017s he's diving in looking to get onto the
5020s fair me also going to be invested in
5022s noio can go nowhere but K 17s is able to
5026s go in but you see you just absolutely
5030s decimate him that brief moment of him
5032s going in the mech cuz he's so low he
5035s gets his knees shot up by the crossbow
5038s and you see 's excellent movement
5040s avoiding the Yan and Yodo all diving
5043s onto him and now it's his turn baby with
5046s the shoves against you we get a nice
5050s value shove onto the Yoda but the Yoda
5052s is doing a great job of fighting this
5053s off and now the
5054s you Oh you's you with the focus like
5058s like dun said but it's not enough great
5061s heal coming from you able to Bob weave
5065s and unlike before tees who got to do
5068s whatever they want are not thriving
5070s anymore you need to have that quick
5073s movement and U has an excellent amount
5076s of it known for his uh wuen on K A
5080s before he's able to take down his old
5082s teammates in deciding factors and ug's
5086s uh sand siphon is a force to be reckon
5089s with they have the only 30 bomb in the
5092s league and it was on their sand siphon M
5095s indeed I remember that that was an
5096s absolute Banger of a game but again
5100s lucky here fpx is just having an
5102s absolute M of a game this is not going
5105s well for them at all each player I feel
5108s like has just been caught out at one
5111s point or another just on their own
5113s trying to find some kind of way to get
5115s their their foot back in the door foot
5118s in the in just just let me in bro just
5120s let me play the game nah nah it's not
5122s happening all of these teams absolute
5124s vultures lurking waiting biting their
5127s time to find that opening on anybody
5130s anybody that they can find speaking of
5132s jdg has definitely managed to find an
5135s opening onto ewg here and ewg just seem
5139s to be falling apart unfortunately even
5141s after they've come out with a realm of
5143s Yang win with that Vermilion Bird's
5146s might they're taking this fight feeling
5149s they're feeling themselves but
5150s unfortunately this Z not z z Justina
5155s I saw the Zed thought it was no Z zeddi
5159s this Justina just dominating in this
5161s fight those dashes doing so much work
5164s able to lock down
5166s ewg and unfortunately they're just not
5168s able to get all that much value out of
5171s their Yang win again fpx i' it's just oh
5175s my God it's just rough man they are
5178s having they're having a bad first game
5181s hopefully I mean I think at this point
5183s it's safe to say that X is likely going
5187s to be taken out before we get the end
5189s game and they're probably not going to
5190s be able to get all that many kills if
5192s any but the thing that I'm wondering
5194s about is if they're going to be able to
5196s recover mentally from this first game as
5199s first game of the day going that
5200s horribly can be a bit of a can be a bit
5204s difficult to come back from as uh if you
5206s just just feel really really rough after
5209s that first one it's an absolute tilter
5212s and you just you just need to say okay
5214s it's just the first first game we've got
5215s five more games to play we can still do
5217s this we're chilling we don't have all
5219s that much to to climb up in the
5221s leaderboard they setting in 16th Place
5223s but with 48 points they only need about
5226s 20 to 30 points for the day to actually
5228s secure their place in by weekly finals
5231s but we're going to have to wait and see
5233s oh yeah and there it is they are
5235s eliminated from the lobby Tean taking
5238s down the final remaining member of fpx
5241s Alliance though they have this Yang
5243s depletion debuff they need to get in and
5245s fight this out they're forcing the fight
5247s in Plume Castle they're locked in in the
5250s caverns underneath the Tamal alts have
5253s been sent down the Wisps going all just
5257s just going crazy here this is an
5259s absolute chaos you walk in here you're
5261s getting blended to shreds K they want a
5265s piece they want a little they want a
5266s little snack they're coming in they to
5269s have that Yang depletion debuff and they
5271s don't have very much time to cleanse it
5273s only a minute remaining less they're
5276s committing the yo here ogss trying to
5279s make it out trying to disengage he pops
5282s that to mul but it's not going to be
5283s enough I imagine he doesn't have Al to
5285s keep him alive to lock down the enemy
5287s team and KLA managed to get
5290s one are they going to be able to cleanse
5292s all of them though Alliance Revenge
5294s coming into the mix as well along with
5295s bow all of these teams they need the
5297s soul blooms they need to cleanse this
5299s debuff Revenge getting held in the sky
5302s he's trying to move he's trying to play
5304s play the game but he's struggling he
5305s manages to get the zipping Al off
5307s surviving for just a little bit longer
5309s cxz 20 seconds and counting ewg now
5313s coming into the mix they see this fight
5314s they can smell the desperation they're
5317s coming in and cxz just can't do anything
5319s in the face of ewg ewg perfect timing B
5323s getting a huge heal off with that F1 on
5326s the teada don't blue Focus toada ladies
5329s and gentlemen not when he has this F1
5331s that heal doing so much for him but it
5333s doesn't look like he going could be
5334s enough he does get taken down I'm not
5337s sure if that was all Yoto all damage or
5339s what but that was a lot of damage he
5342s disappeared from the face of the Earth
5343s right there and ewg coming in pretty
5346s pleased with themselves picking up a few
5348s eliminations but now we're calming back
5351s down the Calm before the storm the Calm
5353s before the Yang and a few of alliance's
5356s members have made it out alive C before
5359s the Yang ewg does an excellent job right
5362s there the yo execution the name of the
5364s game is getting on top of your Target
5366s and getting maximum slashes off that's
5368s why everyone runs F2 in the modernday
5372s Yodo the F2 snaps you to your opponent
5375s and does a huge damaging slash on top of
5377s the fact that it is a gold Focus now jdg
5381s had a rough start off spawn getting
5382s timing attacked by DWG but now they are
5385s snowballing and controlling able to take
5387s down their Ops ewg in that first
5392s transitional part from early game into
5394s that first Yang will jdg be able to win
5399s this Yang a lot of the times we're
5400s seeing teams wait to that very last
5403s second to see who is going in to contest
5407s a lot of the times the second Yang is
5409s uncontested but we're seeing a a pretty
5411s big uh stacker here with 29 people alive
5416s but the by week the first week biweekly
5419s Champions and the second bi-weekly
5421s second place ug the Titan of a l another
5425s pleasure we're going to get another
5426s example for you showing us why hisada is
5430s forc to be wck when he's going to take
5431s this guy and Landing a nice lmb focus on
5435s the Yodo two Focus attacks in midair but
5437s jdg Justina zdi is activating getting
5442s nice double freezes going off T going to
5443s be invested the Yon B3 not able to get
5447s the justtina out of there she's going to
5449s push against the wall the king with the
5451s uppercut combo is going to get caught
5453s though and zdi putting the king into the
5456s Montage able to get another freeze the
5457s king getting connected on perfectly with
5460s the Yan and Justina is he going to be
5462s get away no way he can leave there but
5464s the Yodo on jdg down to one HP needs to
5468s survive right now you is trying to
5470s connect but he is getting peeled
5472s perfectly off he does connect gets the
5474s LMP into the assin life 2v one situation
5478s this happened at Worlds you almost could
5481s clutch it this time around can he do it
5483s he still has two shs to his name the
5485s clan comes down from the combo break of
5487s the Justino one more can he get this s
5490s he does get it was hit point situation
5492s gets the Parry oh youu the 2v one
5494s situation to into the R&B and jdg is
5499s going to get clutched by my man Oh you's
5503s you coming in big sealing the deal and
5507s this is why Duncan I say he's the best
5509s deor in the league my man the go gets
5513s the Parry switches that over one HP
5516s situation keeps up the pressure I'm
5518s wondering like why is he on the dagger
5521s we got assassin's lunge in the pocket
5523s that reverse Uno cour that Ace in the
5525s Hole and he's able to pull off some big
5527s damage when you do big damage Duncan
5529s you're going to get some
5532s kills absolutely that's that that's
5535s actually insane I mean thing is the one
5538s of the big reasons why he was able to
5540s pull that off in the end was was because
5543s he had his available right that he he
5546s was going up against three people that
5549s were a little bit scattered one of them
5550s was really low was looking to try and
5551s heal up try and stabilize the fight and
5554s they were trying to just lock him down
5556s initially without just healing up a
5558s little bit sending one to heal up
5560s sending two to heal up getting one of
5562s them to to hold them down just for a
5564s moment but the thing is they can't they
5566s couldn't really do that because of the
5567s teada Al and I'm not sure if it's
5569s because of the fact that he just didn't
5571s have teada Al to begin with going into
5573s the yang or if he opted to save it until
5577s the end I I would imagine that he just
5579s didn't have it initially and then just
5582s got it up as they were fighting in the
5584s realm of Yang oh Lane just barely
5587s getting that heal off just barely
5589s they're going to be running into another
5591s team as well wolves very close by we'll
5594s see if they uh if they fancy coming out
5596s of the Bush I'm not sure if they will
5598s but yeah I'm not sure if anybody I
5600s didn't I didn't manage to catch it I
5601s don't know if he had his alt at the
5602s beginning and just didn't use it or if
5604s he did use it used it very quickly and
5607s then did enough damage to regenerate a
5609s second ultimate that would be insane if
5612s that was the case but regardless of the
5614s situation extremely well played from
5618s you I feel like saying you it just feels
5621s so silly it's like you wait me no you
5624s you
5626s no we might have to find a different way
5628s of saying his name cuz it's going to get
5631s confusing uh but JL scrapping it out
5634s here fighting it out but unfortunately
5636s nothing's really going to come of it Wen
5638s Al is going to get used it's going to
5640s get utilized and the two teams are going
5643s to go their separate ways for the moment
5647s neither of them I don't think had the
5648s Yang depletion debuff so they are
5650s chilling for the moment but ewg looking
5653s in this bush but spotted out JL
5656s immediately popping that three band Zone
5660s Fox
5662s alter not looking to fight immediately
5664s not looking to take that initial
5665s position but you know who is z d i this
5668s Justina has been going crazy this game
5672s after that that 3v1 loss in the Ang he
5675s wants revenge he wants blood he's trying
5678s to close out these kills but again the
5680s wuen AL is going to come in and save
5682s this team from getting Frozen up by Z
5687s zdi zdi I think zdi is probably easier
5690s to say oh he finds the freeze though on
5692s the 330 I don't think he's going to be
5694s able to do anything with it though the
5696s Tessa Al going to be coming in locking
5698s him down for the moment oh he's getting
5701s shot by the range
5703s weapons managed to find a rock to hide
5705s behind but it's not looking too good
5707s they need to force this they have less
5710s than a minute remaining on that debuff
5712s they need to try and find an opening GG
5714s they're not looking to come out of this
5716s three bound Zone it looks as though jdg
5718s they're just going to have to heal up
5720s one more time and go for the full
5722s commitment here they find the Parry
5724s though unfortunately no capitalization
5726s the Wen F coming in to save him from
5728s that damage but that martial art hook
5731s will form whatever it's called the Jade
5733s the Dual halber Jade that we all hate
5735s getting hit by doing so much work that
5738s 330 again he's been hit again te though
5741s they're coming in for the third party
5743s the F3 from the Viper and the Tessa
5745s ultimate they're going to lock them down
5746s and take down the the I keep I keep I
5750s keep saying Z I'm about to say Z but
5751s it's just Dina Jesus jdg unfortunately
5755s they're not able to cleanse this Yang
5757s depletion the last remaining member
5759s still has it three two one and it's cook
5764s for
5766s jdg that 3v one loss in the Yang really
5769s cting them the game here unfortunately
5772s te coming away with a few more kills
5776s third party coming in from OG but I
5778s don't think they're going to immediately
5779s commit as fighting within the three band
5782s Zone can be a bit risky that's the
5784s problem with that ice pick composition
5786s now if they get if you get an isolated
5788s fight versus the Viper compositions you
5791s definitely have the win in the long run
5794s especially when all three alts are
5795s invested three offensive alts versus two
5798s offensive alts you usually win out but
5800s when it comes to these multi-way fights
5802s these 3v3 v3s we are in a battle
5805s royale the reason why wuen has been so
5808s prevalent throughout his introduction to
5811s the game is that ability to allow that
5814s gorilla Warfare to come in and out of
5817s situations and find these kills now
5819s we're seeing Wolves playing that nice
5821s slow and methodical way with the monk
5824s monk stacked to the teeth Juiced up with
5828s the gold armor ready to go transition in
5830s this end game and I always love game one
5833s Duncan cu the game one usually
5835s everyone's warming up everyone's ready
5837s to start out the day we're going real
5840s slow we got 25 people alive not like the
5842s old 40 Man games but still I look
5845s forward to these 25man end games and
5848s will we see a
5850s resurgent of Monk coming back into the
5853s meta for a while now we haven't seen
5856s monk in rank everyone avoids kind of
5858s playing this character because he's a
5859s sponge for the Yodo and
5861s faras but looking at
5864s ug's you the king SS transitioning this
5868s end game this is also where this team is
5871s exceptional now normally we talk about
5874s end games like the likes of GG and xtg
5878s known for their slow methodical play
5880s known for their slow uh te play where
5883s they're able to get here with so much
5885s loot but ug is coming out with this new
5887s style where they're winning yangs
5889s they're taking no they winning 1 v3s
5891s with their new player you they're
5893s absolutely dominating unfortunately for
5895s jjh they are going to be taking down
5897s their Faria does get taken down but
5898s Godly still chip in the chair we're
5901s still alive we still got air in our
5903s lungs we're looking for the grabs we're
5905s looking to get reloaded in here Alliance
5908s Lane though hiding behind this hill
5911s though looking peekaboo there's a monk
5914s over here looking for grab and zipping
5917s is going to get grabbed one grab do we
5920s get a two grab Tam all is going to be
5922s invested and they're going to turn it
5923s onto the monk absolutely shredding his
5925s leg but the new monk taken to the skies
5928s flying away only flying into ug's arm
5932s and he is going to get picked off first
5935s monk down can wolves prove the
5939s difference with their sand Mach still
5941s alive what do you think Duncan does the
5944s monk make it past this end game or does
5946s he get cooked by all of these sand oh
5950s wait a second oh you like I was about to
5954s say if they can they can hold some
5956s ground if they can find that little bit
5958s of real estate and just chill get a good
5960s positioning as this Zone starts to close
5963s smaller smaller than I do think so I do
5965s think they'll be able to do so they have
5967s that gold armor they're very stacked and
5969s not only that when when we saw the soul
5971s Jades on wolves before I went ooh
5975s because I saw two mortal Defan on the
5978s fer and the tamul so both of these
5980s players are going to have that extra
5983s life it's like they have zipping it's
5984s like they have a zipping so they are
5986s going to have that that little bit of
5988s safety if they do take some fatal damage
5990s they're going to stay alive they are
5993s very very stacked and it looks as though
5995s they're not receiving all that much
5996s pressure on the other hand though ug are
5999s definitely taking a lot of pressure from
6002s the lobby here they've got their back to
6003s the Zone drg trying to get them lobbied
6007s here trying to create some openings but
6009s it may have been a little bit too much
6011s for them they bit off a little bit more
6014s than they could chew and they are forced
6016s to use that wuen teleport to disengage
6019s wuen coming in so clutch this game oh
6022s you gz you he's took to the taken to the
6025s skies trying to stay in the air trying
6028s to not get Focus down and looks as
6031s though he may bought himself a decent
6032s amount of time here te seemed to be the
6035s next on the menu oh beautiful wuen TP
6038s that was actually perfect wen's popping
6041s off this game Crazy the Wen managing to
6044s iframe the charm from the enemy Tessa
6047s that was going to lock them all down but
6049s they able to iframe it but unfortunately
6052s they get teleported right into an the
6054s clutches of two enemy teams and Leo and
6058s their other player as well are going to
6060s be taken down the lonely Viper now he
6063s left with the with the the objective to
6066s either stay alive potentially get a res
6068s but it's going to be a tall order JL vbv
6071s taking a lot of damage as well another
6073s wuen teleport going to take them out of
6074s danger for the moment all the way to the
6077s top of the tree txj trying to find some
6080s space for them to drop down into but
6082s wolves as like
6084s as I said before if they're able to go
6086s uncontested if they're able to find this
6088s space to play with then they're
6090s definitely going to be able to run the
6091s lobby as it gets smaller and smaller
6094s this monk is going to be so unbelievably
6096s powerful going into this end game with
6098s the with the gold golden weapon golden
6101s armor he's going to be extremely hard to
6102s take down oh youzu the man who we
6106s thought would never die does finally get
6108s taken down unfortunately by wolves xem
6112s and ug now falling apart it seems
6114s another player getting taken down OG the
6116s king unable to use his ultimate before
6118s he gets sent back to the lobby and we
6122s got one remaining member of ug Left
6124s Alive and if we know them then I would I
6127s would not be surprised if he's able to
6129s stay on his feet until the very last
6133s moments but now as the as the end game
6135s progress do you think wolves got this
6137s you think I think wolves have cinched in
6139s the bark because Alliance is doing
6141s really really well with their blueberry
6143s armor their team play right now holding
6146s the ground on their side of the maps
6149s decimating way more stack teams we still
6151s have ewg to contest with right now but
6153s wolves on The High Ground absolutely
6155s dictating the pace right now wolv ZK on
6157s the fa laying down fire onto them but
6161s ewg does manage to get aaria to match
6164s them wolves ZK trying to force this FAO
6169s out of this force him into Zone they
6171s still have their monol on de once that s
6175s that Mech goes down for ewg wolves does
6178s have a chance and like I said the monk
6180s is coming to come out we got two
6182s Transformers baby ew's 14 going to get
6186s grabbed out now wolves looking to close
6188s out this Lobby 10 people alive Yodo all
6191s is going to get invested going onto this
6193s stacked monk but it doesn't matter he's
6196s going to grab grab him and abs mush him
6199s against the ground now Alliance Lane
6201s Alliance doing a good job before but it
6203s looks like they are in Shamel all of the
6205s sand Sion are in Shamel not able to find
6209s their footing but wolves able to
6211s navigate this end game perfectly they
6213s were only at three kills now they're up
6214s to seven another phom Mech coming out
6217s for wolves on EEG looking to find these
6220s kills 330 in the trees everyone in the
6223s trees not squirrels all in the trees but
6226s wolves on the ground they want fresh
6229s meat they want to pick up all these last
6231s kills ug's SS trying to ladder up trying
6235s to get some more placement points
6236s dodging
6238s weaving getting out of there flying to
6240s the sky again everyone in the sky we
6243s still got six players alive we got ewg
6246s GG and U all postering to try to outlast
6250s he is going to get sniped out of the sky
6253s great shot by Lee from
6257s ewg wolves still on the ground cooking
6260s everyone but ewg's Lee get getting that
6264s last skill securing that second place
6266s for his team is going to try to win this
6268s out has the mech in but wolves does as
6271s well can't out Z is going to win there
6274s he does pick up one more kill like
6275s Duncan said and it looks like wolves on
6279s the sand Mech bringing a composition out
6282s of the graveyard having a ton of success
6285s is going to take down game one of this
6289s third week by weeklys Duncan
6295s that shot from Lee midair with the F3 on
6301s that barrier that was beautiful that was
6304s the that was your kind of like 360 no
6306s scope kind of Montage kind of shot that
6309s was beautiful hey we love to see it the
6312s spiciness coming out and Wolves yeah
6315s they were able to do it they were able
6317s to have their back to the Zone hold that
6319s specific spot they got so much value out
6323s of their fer alts I saw them just
6326s constantly pumping out damage they had
6328s the fer online the mech online being
6331s used by zedk back to back to back and
6336s bullying the rest of the lobby
6338s preventing them from finding any
6339s entrances and they held the monk for so
6342s long and it's it's like if you see a
6345s team running that composition if you're
6347s in that end game and you see the FIA
6349s Mech has been is is online but you
6352s haven't seen the monk using is Ultimate
6354s yet then if you look for an engagement
6356s if you try and force them then you're
6358s going to just be met by the tianhai
6361s transformation and then immediately have
6363s to disengage or try and do something I
6367s mean they could have tried to get them
6368s lobbied but they just had that that
6371s solid positioning keeping them
6374s safe I don't know I just I don't think
6376s that they could really die at that point
6377s they had the Mortal Defan they had the
6379s gold armor the purple armors we have we
6381s had a few blueberries going into that
6383s that end game Who when they see a team
6385s like that they're just not going to try
6387s cuz it's very dangerous the tamul
6390s constantly throwing out whisps left and
6392s right beautifully done by Wolves ug I
6396s did say I bet we knowing ug he's going
6399s to be able to stay alive until that end
6401s game and he did stay alive for a very
6403s long time so they are going to be able
6405s to get a little bit more a little bit a
6407s little bit more out of their kills a few
6409s more points with that multiplier and the
6411s placement points as well very nicely and
6413s ewg as well I'm not sure how many kills
6416s they got in the end I think it was 10 or
6419s something they were on nine and then
6420s they got one extra kill in that end game
6422s in the 1v3 with the fer so I think
6425s coming out with 10 kills second place is
6427s a very solid start to the day for ewg
6430s and that's exactly what you want to see
6431s as well considering that they're sitting
6433s they were sitting in 18th spot but the
6436s thing is that may have only equalized
6439s them with the 17th position as they were
6441s very far behind sitting on something
6443s like 20ish points so they may have been
6446s able to equalize themselves and get them
6448s up to that 17th SPO is area but they're
6451s going to have to keep it up keep going
6454s into the rest of the series and see if
6455s they can actually make it into the
6457s bi-weekly finals yeah I think ewg will
6459s be able to pull it up momentum is key
6462s when it comes to these high pressure
6463s situations you're all the way in last
6465s place you got a game plan dialed in and
6467s they execute their uh game plan
6469s perfectly in that game one you see ewg
6472s able to clutch up that last kill sending
6474s actually ug's SS he was the one who hit
6477s him with that Faria F3 launching him
6479s into the Zone nice 360 no scope coming
6481s out but Beau beautiful beautiful stuff
6484s coming out in this end game we get to
6486s see the 1v2 clutch from ugu most people
6490s don't really realize this but uh for
6493s jcup finals it came down to
6497s te and KLA as well you actually was it
6503s wasn't it wasn't it was hlg but te and
6506s that's what everyone focuses on but KLA
6508s was written the running for first place
6510s as well you happened to be in a 1v3
6513s situation inside Yang and he was able to
6515s take down two of the players the last
6518s player did end up double pairing him to
6520s win it off so every time I see him in
6521s that clutch situation I know my man
6524s wants to win it wants to always show up
6526s for his team and I know he's capable of
6528s it this time around with the Assassin's
6530s lunge he he's able to get that snake ice
6532s Parry and follow up now something that
6536s I've seen that's that's diff changed
6539s because of ug is these end games
6542s everyone's end games has gotten a lot
6545s stronger now everyone's playing a little
6547s bit slower before everyone was trying to
6550s get ahead uh over invest and now people
6553s are realizing still going into endgame
6555s with those two or three kills you are
6557s able to still find a lot of traction we
6559s see alliance with their blue armor is
6562s able to cause a ton of damage and
6563s actually grief a ton of teams who are
6567s way more scaled with them now looking
6569s back at the MVP wolves lot of
6572s satisfaction on their face playing this
6574s end game perfectly jjh not able to
6578s navigate and keep their team alive but
6581s Wolves playing perfectly on that High
6584s Ground using that FIA Mech to constantly
6586s control space just like the other
6588s cannonballs but with Monk on Deck to
6592s follow up great play unlike the
6595s traditional Cannonball for sand Mech
6597s Tami actually goes into the mech over
6599s and over while the Faria builds ultimate
6602s and you're seeing the amount of damage
6605s from that Faria just building up that
6607s range damage going in like Duncan was
6609s saying ewg had a long way to go today
6611s they were starting out with 25 points
6613s but they get a juicy 17.9 starting today
6618s skyrocketing up to 40.1 now the
6621s threshold is going to be around 65 so
6623s they do need to have consistent games
6626s for the next five GG rare sight to see
6630s them all the way at the bottom but they
6632s only had a day one at 41 points 41
6635s points pretty insane uh 65 points to
6639s threshold so they're already two-thirds
6640s of the way there now looking at the top
6642s wbg they're just hoping they're crossing
6644s their fingers they don't have their
6646s Destiny and their own hands same thing
6648s with J team same same thing with JJ
6652s their spot In Contention but 5 to1
6655s another foreign team another Vietnamese
6658s team securing their way into finals it
6661s looks like now KLA jdg ug bow B doing
6665s really well this season I heard their
6667s xcg the xcg coach actually moved on to
6671s Bowa wolves also doing really good in uh
6675s week one now finally I think they had an
6678s inconsistent week on week two but now in
6680s week three pulling it back together
6683s showing their consisteny good googly
6684s mogly 118 points on a day one they
6688s basically double the amount of points
6691s needed to qualify going to the game
6693s three now going for points here still
6695s matters if you get in the top 12 because
6697s you still get to take
6699s 9% of your points going into the weekly
6702s finals now looking at the highlights
6704s Duncan what was your favorite play of
6708s this I don't know it's it's definitely
6710s between that FIA F3 and End Zone and the
6715s uh and the 1v3 in the realm of Yang I
6717s would
6719s say it's it's tough it's tough I think
6721s it was probably going to come down to 1
6723s V3 he played it so unbelievably well he
6726s was playing thing is with dagger in that
6728s kind of situation you know you have to
6730s be so careful with the Assassin's Lune
6732s you have to be locked in to actually be
6735s able to get that Parry off or to avoid
6736s it entirely then you lose some pressure
6739s so I think it definitely is going to
6740s come down to that 1 V3 I still don't
6742s know if it was that he just didn't use
6744s his or didn't have it to start with and
6747s that's why he had his ultimate to go to
6749s win that 13 the very
6752s end I don't know but regardless it went
6755s so unbelievably well for him this was
6757s very nice from ewg as well managing to
6760s get just that one extra kill you know we
6762s see a lot of teams when they get to this
6764s kind of point in the game that they'll
6766s just run into the zone and uh and go
6769s quietly into the night but he did not
6771s want to do that he wanted to see if he
6773s could get himself an extra elimination
6775s and he did manage it so good on you ewg
6779s you're going to need every little every
6782s every little scrap every every single
6785s elimination that you can to make it into
6787s bi-weekly finals and that is exactly
6789s what they have done in the first game
6792s but wolves the MVP the first MVP of the
6795s day and zk's first MVP of this split as
6799s well seemingly on the tamul not crazy
6803s amount of damage nothing too special you
6805s know but you know what's quite funny is
6808s the fact that the the the most damaging
6812s thing was his skills and ultimate so
6815s does that mean that he did 4,300 damage
6818s with the Wisp no he did it with the in
6822s the fa was that the fairy Al cuz sure I
6825s was I was going to say surely right
6827s surely he couldn't have been throwing
6828s out that many wisps um but he gets quite
6831s a chunk of damage out with that F mag
6834s and we we saw it in the end game back to
6837s back to back constantly getting that
6839s pillar down getting the value and doing
6841s uh doing work and it's it's lovely to
6844s see cuz wolves has been one of those
6845s teams
6846s that unfortunately in the past we've
6849s just not seen do all that well they've
6851s there's been glimmers of Hope here and
6853s there but they they they just weren't
6855s able to do it they weren't able to
6858s achieve what they wanted to all that
6860s many times but you know what time it is
6862s yet again again ladies and gentlemen our
6864s first answer for Treasures of the day
6866s you know the drill answer this question
6868s in chat put your answer into the chat
6870s and then a random person will be chosen
6872s out of the many you'll be able to secure
6874s yourself a Springs split random gift box
6876s and the question is how many kills did
6880s jdg get in game number one was it a 8 B
6885s 9 C1 or d11 make sure to get your answer
6890s in the chat ladies and gentlemen as well
6892s as keep an eye on the chat itself and
6895s your Whispers so that if you do win you
6897s don't miss out and uh it gets sent to a
6900s different person you don't want that you
6901s don't want to miss out if you happen to
6903s win it's uh it's it's it's it's a game
6906s of chance you want to get in although I
6908s have to say this is actually kind of a
6909s hard question I can't remember how many
6911s kills they had um but but yeah no one
6915s thing that I I wanted to ask you if you
6917s happen to know was did wolves wolves get
6920s a new coach this season because because
6923s I'm there's a big roster Shuffle this
6926s season a lot of teams went one way or
6929s the other um I I heard from one of the
6931s AOW members that a lot of a lot of is
6935s being switched up this next nvpl so uh
6938s it looks like wolves got the better end
6939s of the sck with their current roster
6942s able to shape up and show up I mean
6944s first by-weekly uh doing super super
6948s well in the top five again doing super
6950s super well in the third bi-weekly now
6953s the bi-weeks this is important setting
6955s up for finals but finals is really what
6957s matters in the qualifying round it's
6959s kind of nice you get the 9% of points
6961s going into to the actual finals but the
6964s finals is what set up the points for the
6965s big Grand finals of each nvpl season so
6968s even though wolves is doing well right
6971s now uh the pro league is extremely
6974s competitive the adjustments teams make
6978s and for what I've seen especially from
6980s Worlds is that macro game that map
6983s control ends up being so big right now
6985s so whatever wolves is doing right now
6987s the the lobby is going to dissect go
6989s back and look how exactly they set up to
6992s get that position cuz like I said before
6994s monk Faria Tami really really slow
6998s composition it really only hits that
7000s power Spike right at the end they were
7001s able to secure that gold armor for their
7003s Monk and if you notice the monk barely
7006s Ed in that end end game unlike jjh where
7009s their monk was forced to Ultimate um
7012s like kind of came kept the monk old uh
7014s on the back foot and mainly ran their
7016s offense through Tami on uh with the fch
7020s over and over to him now the cool thing
7023s about getting a monk to that endgame is
7025s that he is a little bit stronger than a
7027s Yodo as long as you get him to full
7029s health jates and that gold armor he is a
7032s force to be reckon with even with
7033s everyone shooting at him it is very hard
7035s to take him down especially with the
7037s support of atmi so really really good
7040s stuff from wolves and Innovative Strat
7043s too Duncan I love to see new stuff being
7046s brought out just when you think a meta
7049s is solved someone pushes the envelope
7052s takes a chance for this case wolves did
7056s their gamble does pay off and they're
7058s able to take that game one continuing
7061s their momentum because they got 118
7063s points on their previous day they could
7065s technically coast today uh let just be
7068s like whatever let's keep some of our
7069s strategies but they're still limit
7071s testing they're still seeing what's
7073s possible and we'll see if this monk
7076s composition still keeps doing well I was
7078s hoping that we would see wbg uh play
7081s today as well see if that Tessa monk
7083s still can survive after 3 weeks in the
7087s circuit in this competition did anyone
7089s figure out how to deal with Tessa alting
7092s their Faria and monk monk getting that
7095s easy DCH if you didn't know this and
7097s you're just tuning in the pro league a
7099s lot of high execution the most beautiful
7101s nle you'll see played um but in the
7103s Faria Mech monk is able to punch into
7108s the Faria as long as she's facing as
7110s long as she's not in turn mode that
7111s right click mode she can get DED and
7114s completely get her alt neutralized but
7116s what most people don't realize about
7118s Faria is the Monk and DCH also from
7121s behind pushing his arm through the
7123s actual Faria and Landing that grab and
7126s ding her so a lot of finesse exists with
7130s that monk V Faria it's just we don't see
7132s monks in this modern day so I'm always
7134s excited to see these Pros show up and
7137s show us some monks I'm wondering though
7140s OU super super good on their sand siphon
7144s uh with you going crazy on the teada but
7146s do they have a Transformers come cuz for
7150s the first time in this current meta we
7152s don't see Transformers but will
7154s Transformers come back in the future we
7156s ready see monk poking his head out of
7158s the hole saying hey hey guys we're still
7160s alive
7161s Wes resurrecting the comp bringing it
7164s through uh but will we see more monks in
7168s the future is the question I feel like
7170s you can never count out that character
7172s just because of how powerful the double
7174s grab is how powerful he is in endgame
7178s and how much influence he could have uh
7181s just carrying his team to victories uh
7184s inside Yang as well one of the most
7186s oppressive characters now with all the
7188s meta right now being fast quick to the
7191s point triple alting maximum Rush down
7194s will we see the Resurgence of this slow
7196s play cuz we're already seeing it a
7198s little bit on this hollow Roth and with
7200s the first three days being on this
7202s daytime hollo no fireflies I like to see
7205s this slow methodical play but first game
7208s is always really really slow everyone's
7210s warming up second game we're picking up
7212s the speed everyone's going to play a
7214s little bit faster we didn't
7216s see the Viper teams have a lot of
7219s success we saw te we saw JL in and out
7223s around plume Castle trying to find these
7225s assassinations plays but they just
7227s couldn't get it down the defense of all
7230s these slow compositions able to survive
7233s able to weather the storm of that V3
7237s Viper so will we see a Resurgence of the
7241s V2 and V1 Viper in the future cuz I know
7243s V3 Viper definitely does a really good
7245s job of locking down karumi in the new
7248s sand siphon she's actually very very
7250s vulnerable to the V3 Viper
7253s unlike the zipping who can use a lot of
7255s her Mobility initially to avoid the drop
7257s on but we shall see going into this game
7260s to this is one of my favorite parts of
7263s the modern day nraa the phasing new
7265s phase picks coming into the league it's
7269s a little bit confusing at first if you
7271s haven't seen phase rounds but basically
7274s you are put into a group randomly a b
7278s and c or first second and third and you
7281s rotate at as the rounds progress so A to
7284s B B to C C to a over and over and it
7287s just allows you to pick first and the
7290s point system has been reduced to nine
7293s now if I could quickly get this across
7295s you just cannot pick the same characters
7298s if you are in the later phases Phase 2
7301s and three so you generally See the s
7304s tier picks coming out in phase one so if
7305s you're looking for a composition to play
7307s you're looking for the right map to play
7309s it on looking at Phase One and what
7311s these pro teams are playing in phase one
7314s is a good indication of what the S tier
7316s picks and you're seeing that sand siphon
7318s coming out but we're seeing a new thing
7321s with the sand Mech
7323s usually uh for phase two you just see a
7326s clear shot of Viper wuen with Viper on
7330s V3 and F3 looking to get that big nuke
7334s out with the F3 looking to have that
7336s extra pair of hands to chase people down
7338s with the V3 and finally in phase three
7342s where're seeing mainly Cannonball or ice
7344s pick with the Justina variation as that
7347s last flick as that modern-day
7348s Transformer that plays
7350s slow yeah indeed I I'm surprised though
7353s that JJ and wolves are both opting to go
7357s they they're running it back they're
7358s going with the same composition as their
7360s first game wolves
7362s definitely I mean yeah if if it's if it
7365s ain't broke don't fix it you know
7366s they're going to go they're going to run
7367s it back and they're going to try and do
7369s the same thing again but as you said are
7371s they going to be able to get to that end
7374s game scenario as more of these teams are
7376s going to be picking up the pace we've
7378s got quite a few of those Viper Tessa
7381s wuen compositions who like to come in
7384s for those assassinations and they like
7386s they like to Skirmish they like to try
7388s and pick people off just jumping in and
7390s out of fights using that wuen Al we saw
7393s so much value come out from the wuen in
7396s that previous game these teams have been
7399s been practicing a lot they've managed to
7401s get that timing down very nicely we saw
7403s the perfect ey frame on the Tessa on the
7408s Tessa charm if frame meaning in I mean
7410s thing is some people say it's
7412s invulnerability frame or invincibility
7414s frame something along those lines
7415s regardless they managed to avoid the
7417s charm and uh go unscathed but
7420s unfortunately they did teleport into
7421s another team it is what it is it still
7423s happens but we're going to be jumping
7425s into our second game of the day ladies
7427s and gentlemen and one thing I wanted to
7430s uh one thing I wanted to talk about is
7433s that we've been so back in the day it
7436s was almost always always to mul running
7440s V3 so that he could go into that sand
7444s wall grab the sand wisps and throw them
7446s out and just continuously get value from
7448s that constantly throwing them out
7450s looking for those opportunities to lock
7452s somebody down and just burst them with
7455s range weapons or whatever or whatever
7457s they have available to them but time and
7460s time again we saw it initially get
7462s picked up towards the end of last year's
7465s second nvpl split and then get used
7468s quite a bit in Jacob where teams were
7471s opting to run the V2 the second
7474s variation of tulk's ultimate which
7476s instead of giving you those wisp when
7480s you walk through the wall it gives you
7483s passive increased stamina regeneration I
7486s think it is and this is something that
7488s at the time we thought this is
7491s essentially to help you in that sand
7493s siphon mirror where you want to you you
7496s have the edge over the enemy Tamal in
7498s that mirror matchup because you have the
7500s extra stamina and you're able to to just
7504s play around certain lines that you can't
7506s typically do unless you have the stamina
7507s to do so so but now it's almost become
7511s the standard it's almost become the
7513s standard that teams will opt to go for
7515s v2 I've seen it far more commonly than
7518s V3 or even V1 we saw V1 a few times as
7521s well do you think Raven that it's going
7524s to go back Circle back around to V3 at
7527s some point or do you think it's just
7528s always going to be down to that tulk's
7531s preference um the team that really
7534s pushed the modern day Teo is GG because
7537s they had the most dominant sand siphon
7539s for most of the Year speaking of GG off
7542s spawn we'll get back to the idea the
7544s main idea though is that V3 locks Tami
7547s from using his F correctly and with the
7549s modern day Tessa and Viper being so
7551s heavily executed you need to have your
7553s Tami ready to if frame using his F and
7557s less necessary for the damage his peel
7559s is necessary to survive that burst or
7562s you just get X now Yan ruins we're going
7564s to get JL versus drg JL former Champs
7569s being moved over to JL BBB and txj
7572s quickly
7573s making Z into mince me now Alliance
7577s popping with a great timing attack and
7578s now T is going to get taken down
7580s Alliance perfect timing their attack
7583s able to instantly execute two members of
7585s JL able to pick up two team kills over
7588s here now drg not down and out they have
7591s uh two members up and now jl's BVB we
7594s got a new scrap off both of them both of
7597s these two guys working together vvv
7599s known for his 1 v3s as well looking for
7601s the half Char R&B able to get that lmb
7603s off drg still fighting their way out of
7606s this versus Alliance and the first two
7609s teams will have their Revenge onto
7613s drg J's vvv still getting tons of value
7617s right now and it looks like the call has
7618s been made salty runbacks baby we're back
7621s in there JL coming in with the Vengeance
7625s you will not claim our Yan rins like
7628s this yon ruins and puzzle position both
7632s s tier locations for the amount of loot
7634s that you can get and that excellent
7636s rotation with these hell boards and now
7638s JL defending their Turf defend ending
7642s their loot this is our town get out of
7645s here now looking at down at the other s
7648s tier location this spot was highly
7650s contested every single weeklys KLA ug
7654s two of the strongest teams we're not
7657s letting ug get this for free anymore
7659s you're seeing the bista you're seeing
7661s the scrap off going down now fpx also
7664s jump in 521 used to be here as well but
7668s K will not let ug run away with these
7671s tournaments anymore Landing puzzle
7673s uncontested is just outrageous you get
7675s that free gold weapon for your team on
7679s siphon or on Cannonball and it's just
7682s really really tough when you're just
7684s giving you or this time uh this is
7687s something that's interesting about ug
7689s they Sub in their characters you
7692s sometimes plays their Yodo um and does
7695s not nice shot coming out from K K's bisa
7699s play the burn is coming in and flying F3
7703s from the Viper is going to take him down
7706s but
7708s OU fighting their way out of this
7711s they're still not down and out can they
7713s find another clutch the king with the F3
7716s is not able to get much value out of
7717s this clean clean play coming up from K
7719s but fpx is going to activate with this
7722s Moon Bane timing but the woen port is
7725s clutch chest out of line of sight and
7727s the hard grapple is GNA deny all of this
7730s Moon ban you love to see a dunan no moon
7732s Bane value yeah no moon Bane value I I
7736s have to say they jump the gun a little
7739s bit on that one I know I I'm not a fan
7743s of moon Banes in general as you may know
7746s but thing is like I can still recognize
7749s the value I can still recognize when
7751s when they've been used well when they've
7753s used poor they've been used poorly and
7755s that is definitely an instance of where
7757s they it was not used very well you know
7760s like they could have very easily just
7762s you know oh look wait what's on that
7764s team oh there's a wuen okay let's not
7767s use the moon Bane and just just wait a
7770s second see if we force out the AL first
7773s no no they're just like get in there um
7776s and it didn't really pay off
7777s unfortunately but thankfully for them
7779s they did manage to secure themselves
7781s that gold weapon from the puzzle box
7785s they able to go underneath if you don't
7787s know how to do this go underneath the uh
7790s the podium the platform
7792s and there is a uh a circular tunnel that
7795s on the walls beneath the statues it
7798s shows the direction that the statue
7800s above it needs to be facing for you to
7802s be able to unlock this puzzle and secure
7804s yourself some lovely little Loot and uh
7808s even some red armor red armor you can
7810s only get it from that puzzle box You
7813s Can't Always Get it it is still a matter
7815s of chance but if you do you uh you are
7818s going to be a very Tony boy I don't
7820s think that it's available in Immortal
7822s War though I don't think we've ever seen
7823s red armor in Immortal war and I'm pretty
7825s sure that it was just no it's just not
7827s possible yeah um but GG here heading on
7831s over to GG up in the north GG I have to
7835s say they've been uh they've not been
7837s they've not been having a good couple
7839s weeks you know this week they just
7842s they've just not managed to secure all
7844s that money all that many points you know
7846s 40 points is not great but uh especially
7849s in solos as well I'm pretty sure they
7851s just
7852s GG Shai's just not been having a good
7854s time unfortunately it is what it is some
7857s teams they just have bad weeks and uh
7860s it's it's strange because GG's been one
7862s of those teams that's just done so
7864s they've been a stable a staple team in
7866s the past they've been able to do
7868s consistently well getting those points
7870s consistently in the top bracket but uh
7873s something's just gone wrong however on
7876s the other hand we've got a lot of teams
7877s that in the past have not been able to
7879s do all that well and now are doing
7881s extremely well bower for example having
7884s that new coach must I didn't know that
7886s they got xg's coach it's definitely done
7889s a lot for them as Bower was one of those
7892s names back in the very beginning of nbpl
7894s that we would see talked about or he
7896s talked about a lot but all of a sudden
7899s it just sort of felt like they fell off
7900s the map and but but now they're back and
7903s it's good to see Bower just one of those
7905s solid OG names same thing with uh same
7909s thing with wolves wolves just weren't
7910s able to really do anything for a long
7912s time but now I'm pretty sure it must be
7913s a new coach I'm I'm pretty sure cuz I I
7917s I see this coach sort of on stage
7919s talking to the players a lot more when
7921s in the past I could have sworn that I
7923s just never saw him I've never seen him
7925s before he's uh he's always just there
7928s he's very involved he seems very engaged
7931s and uh it seems as though it's
7932s definitely paid off especially for panda
7934s man as well or cdy as he's now called
7937s he's been doing a lot better in solos so
7941s hey they're definitely doing something
7943s right yeah with the the new eight rounds
7946s and match point the coach comes in
7949s really really big and teams are being
7950s pushed to their absolute limit when it
7952s comes to their character picks in sules
7954s and their character picks in trios eight
7956s rounds is absolutely exhausting so
7959s consistency is the key your overall
7962s strategy does go out and shine and the
7965s most consistent teams will pull out
7967s ahead there's less luck as rounds go
7970s further and further and not only that
7972s you have to MVP now they're before teams
7976s could Coast kind of play a very safe and
7978s secure round let nraa come back to them
7980s but now teams have to invest in this
7983s very very aggressive play style where
7985s sometimes if things don't go your way
7987s you need to make things go your way
7990s Fortune does favor the B and GG is going
7993s to be fighting with the V3 invested GG
7995s playing very very slow and methodical
7997s sitting on the outside zipping trying to
7999s get executed on B2 is going to be not
8001s invested yet to K Al just invested and
8004s they're going to absolutely shred K
8007s unlucky for K running into this super
8011s super stack team and this is what I was
8012s saying earlier Duncan GG known for their
8015s slow methodical play known for knowing
8018s how to loot up the map now we talked
8020s about platform um and Yan ruins being
8023s one of the S tier locations looks like
8025s GG was posturing to go into Yang but KLA
8029s takes a shot of them takes their best
8031s shot
8032s to assassinate them before they're able
8035s to get into Yang now unfortunately for K
8039s teada was juice to the top able to fight
8042s off that execution just with a singular
8044s ult but we are going to see te going in
8047s now te's got a lot of heat for uh not
8051s showing up in previous rounds they are
8053s the world champions just two of their
8055s members did get split away but two
8057s members are still there and they issued
8060s the challenge and they rose up to the
8062s cation letting everyone know that this
8063s is still a championship team Tean going
8066s to the skies with the dagger looking for
8068s the lmb can he see that Miracle match
8071s just like you did earlier assassin's
8074s lunge on Deck flying in Yan peeling onto
8079s Han and now the Yodo is going to be get
8081s invested KY circle out but keeping her
8084s team alive Leo is taking so much damage
8086s right now just trying to stay alive with
8088s the Yodo push coming down Han as well
8090s T's going to get invested to neutralize
8093s some of this Faria pressure but now Tami
8095s is vulnerable as well but one player is
8098s taken down by drg great play from te
8103s with the perfect Al rotation able to
8105s pick up the kill but it's still not over
8107s yet youan still has a little bit of
8109s fight left him and but ehan with the lmb
8112s looking to get that Assassin's love
8114s activated but no more Transformers for
8117s drg the beginning of the end is upon us
8121s t
8123s chasing down Wen but he's trying to
8126s stall it out can he get the stall out 40
8128s seconds is pretty ambitious Dreadful
8130s whale is out on with the F1 trying to
8133s get that slam down but te looking
8136s surgical out here great play from Leo
8141s karumi so hard to play in this modern
8143s day nraa meta The Cannonball of the
8147s Faria of the Yodo shove pushing te in
8150s and out it's like being in a washing
8152s machine but karumi perfectly keeps her
8155s team alive and te is going to come out
8157s on top another adjustment we saw week
8160s one canonball fall short to S week two
8163s Cannonball shows up and absolutely
8166s dominates what will we get this week
8168s three
8169s Duncan well I mean we've already gotten
8172s something reasonably uh reasonably
8174s Caliente from wolves and
8179s jjo very
8186s was in know I'm joking we're not
8188s speaking Spanish not casted in
8191s Spanish I can't imagine casting in
8193s Spanish though that'd be kind of crazy I
8194s don't think I'd be able to manage it
8196s well Spanish is good but it's not that
8198s good uh however drg going we're going
8202s back into the action both Yoto alss now
8205s online brg up JL txj definitely one out
8210s in this sort of yo Al
8212s fight well we're going to see the far me
8214s come out now all the they're trying to
8217s find some openings but it's just going
8219s back and forth nothing is really
8221s happening here wfz though I'm not sure
8223s if he's going to be able to get all that
8225s much value out of this fch considering
8227s that he has to find the time to heal
8229s before he gets brought out of it but the
8232s thing is I feel like both of these teams
8234s are in for a nasty surprise a rude
8237s awakening GG CJs Crouch walking behind
8242s them sneaky sneaky and he's coming in
8245s he's Unleashed pulls out the the toada
8248s AL in immediately
8250s annihilating the members of
8252s drg and and JL here lxm is's not looking
8257s to let them go he's trying to find the
8259s uh find the chase down onto vvv and
8261s they've managed to do so vvv climbing up
8264s on top of this building man to buy
8266s himself a moment moment to breathe but I
8269s don't think he's going to survive this
8271s Zone oh he's hiding oh no he gets
8274s spotted out 330 manages to find him and
8279s it looks as though only two out of the
8282s six players here are going to be able to
8285s make it out alive for the moment JL
8288s definitely coming out the uh getting the
8292s bigger end of the stick there thankfully
8294s they're able to live and potentially
8296s they will be able to get a as I say it
8298s as I say it they buy the rebirth chart
8301s from the shop they're going to be able
8303s to get back their downed teammate
8307s thankfully for JL they are still in this
8310s game wolves I'm curious as to where they
8313s are right now and how it's going for
8315s them also one thing to note
8317s unfortunately as expected B not bwg
8322s wbg wbg has been eliminated they aren't
8327s playing today and they were sitting on
8330s very thin ice at the bottom of that
8332s qualified um top 12 and have been
8336s overtaken by drg unfortunately for them
8339s so they're not going to be going into
8341s the bi-weekly finals this week but hey
8344s you know they did they did very well
8346s last week just uh it just isn't that
8349s week you know it happens and
8350s wolves I do see them shopping in the
8354s city of Tang but we uh we don't have
8356s time for that jdg oh they don't have
8359s time at all though they don't have any
8361s time left the Yang depletion forcing
8365s them into an engagement against fpx here
8369s and they just get taken down quietly
8371s into the night fpx very happy picking up
8375s three eliminations but they are sitting
8377s on that blue armor they're going to have
8379s to try and find themselves a bit of a
8381s little bit of an upgrade heading into
8383s this end game they don't want to be
8385s blueberries going into that final Zone
8388s especially if they are running this sand
8391s s siphon one of those compositions that
8393s kind of does want a little bit more
8396s armor to play with but o jumping into
8398s the realm of Yang GG scrapping it out
8402s CJs popping that teada up midair getting
8405s the knock back into the followup jdg
8408s forced to use their woa and teleport to
8410s disengage but it's just they just
8413s immediately met with the onslaught that
8415s is GG there absolutely cook was up
8419s against the wall GG we you were saying
8423s and I've learned that they they me for
8426s the OG teams you could never count these
8428s guys out yeah they they had a solid
8430s first day and easily you're going to get
8432s over this Finish Line they're one of the
8434s most consistent teams and what they're
8436s what they're known for is getting that
8437s teada to Gold old that was first reble
8440s Yang getting your teada to Gold old
8442s requires a ton of planning a ton of
8445s effort and a ton of good looting so I'm
8447s curious going back to see what GG's loot
8449s path I'm going to have to mentally note
8451s this game two but first we got Alliance
8455s revenge laye on the Justina what can he
8458s show us a lot of this com is carried by
8462s their Justa thunder strike and ends up
8465s flying out trying to keep the monk lock
8467s down tamy Alon vested Justina perfectly
8470s going straight up getting out of this
8473s situation now jjh has the offensive
8476s Revenge with the Yoda while just trying
8478s to create some space and now Flames
8479s going into Mech nice
8482s job by Alliance to ice off a lot of this
8485s transformation pressure but all their
8487s burst was iced off now can they survive
8491s can they thrive in this situation when
8493s they're on the back foot they're Yan
8496s coming into uh Al a little bit late monk
8499s D transforming he needs to be able to
8501s hold down this monk now it's JJ's turn
8504s they defensive Godly does get slammed in
8507s midair one HP situation nice slam coming
8511s out from Alliance bow the Yan doing the
8514s work confirming the kills that midair
8518s slam really really difficult to land
8520s Alliance now has them against the ropes
8522s but they are going to lose one of them
8523s it's a 2v2 situation flames on the Tami
8527s buying some time for his teammates to
8529s make some plays Alliance bow really
8531s really low as well can jjh bring this
8534s back the momentum's going back and forth
8536s the drama is unfolding good scare coming
8538s out now b in a last F attack situation
8540s both of them in a last Focus attack
8542s situation the focus slide's coming out
8543s with the crouching lb is going to secure
8545s It 2 one situation but Focus slide
8549s 20 unusable neutral as brosis calls it a
8554s teammate of Alliance that Focus slide
8557s into crouching L on Port just doing
8560s massive damage securing the win Alliance
8564s is going to take that second round of
8567s Yang very nicely done from them but yeah
8570s as you said Focus slide un losable
8573s neutral just does so so much if you
8576s don't know what Focus slide is it is a
8578s jade that is only available in team
8581s modes it's it used to be it used to be
8584s in solos but they removed it because it
8585s was just too strong but it's still in
8588s team modes and it essentially gives your
8591s slide blue Focus so you can slide into
8595s somebody and knock them up it's not
8597s parryable you can you can blue focus
8600s into them and you can potentially stop
8602s them but it's just one of those things
8603s that's really hard to avoid at times
8605s especially in chaotic situations in
8608s trios and one of the best things to use
8610s alongside it is a pul sword or a great
8613s sword you just get that slide and
8616s immediately go into a slide horizontal
8618s it's free damage it's so so strong and
8622s uh I'm I don't know it's just it's just
8625s one of those Jades it's kind of like H
8628s it it just comes out of nowhere
8630s sometimes you're just not not expecting
8631s it and you just get absolutely cooked
8634s Alliance putting it to good use here
8637s absolutely we got a team oh they're
8639s going to be resing here and looks as
8640s though they might have spotted out
8642s Alliance that are close by and there it
8644s is the Yang depletion situation that we
8647s talked about the desperation you can
8650s smell it at this point in the game there
8652s are plenty of teams that sort of sitting
8655s a little bit back and just waiting to
8657s see if one of these Yang depletion teams
8661s goes full ug booger and just tries to
8664s run down a team as quite frankly that's
8666s that's just what they have to do
8668s especially on this new patch that we're
8670s not actually playing on just yet but
8672s it's it's just even it's sort of
8673s magnified in the in the next patch that
8675s we're going to be playing on next week
8677s but both monks the Monk on monk Godly
8680s taking a bit of damage initially gets
8682s the jump up onto this platform here gets
8684s a grab as well ZK is in the hand he does
8687s get slammed
8689s out definitely very good from godl not
8692s going for that greedy that greedy second
8695s grab to try and get the double slam just
8697s committing for that first slam getting
8699s the damage out forcing out those toog
8701s ultimates both of them are down now godl
8704s coming out of that transformation
8705s immediately jumping into that fch ZK
8708s having lost all his armor trying to heal
8711s up he's in the fch as well jjh they
8714s might be the grief factor that gets
8717s wolves killed here as we have Alliance
8719s waiting in the wings to engage at a
8722s moment's notice godl he's getting held
8725s in the Zone by the fer turret shots just
8728s managing to make it out it goes Sky High
8730s but the the burn damage though the the
8733s fire arrows coming in and cooking the
8735s remaining sliver of Health that he had
8738s available but here we are Alliance
8740s coming in the Justin Al has been popped
8743s XM just taking a bunch of damage
8745s avoiding the thunderstorm getting that
8746s silence but it's only 3 seconds it's not
8748s going to buy them all that much time
8750s having already lost a member wolves is
8752s on the Run zedk he's trying to get out
8754s of there a bit of a movement error there
8756s doesn't R&B slam to the ground but he
8759s may have broken ankles here jjh they're
8762s confused Flames still going oh Moran
8766s finds him in the building ZK on that
8768s white armor not very much effective
8771s Health to play with unfortunately he
8772s does get caught by the R&B but
8774s immediately goes into the sky the F3
8776s coming in though XM has come in to try
8779s and protect his teammate
8781s but unable to do so before he gets taken
8783s down but he does win the One V one in
8785s the end clutching it up for his team but
8788s unfortunately he's not going to be able
8790s to go for that res just yet he might be
8792s able to do so after he's healed up but
8794s that zone four does a lot of damage the
8797s anti-heal does so much he's not able to
8800s do it just yet but K as well going to
8802s pick up that kill onto Alliance Revenge
8805s it looks as though two members of
8808s Alliance got taken down as well they may
8809s have jumped the gun a little bit this
8811s third party has gone a for them as K
8815s able to come in and third party the
8818s third party they're on the chase though
8820s they found
8821s XM XM on that
8824s faer trying to disengage immediately
8826s running over to the other teams trying
8829s to run them into each other
8831s go q q G going for that ambitious
8835s uppercut oh my see that's what I'm
8837s talking about that's what we're talking
8839s about ch the focus slide gets the
8842s horizontal immediately slide lmb just
8845s destroys
8847s him fing lmb coming off K we got the
8850s third party we got the fourth party we
8852s got a nraa festival going down with the
8854s amount of
8856s Viper attacks just coming in Non-Stop
8859s that attack on Titan still to this day
8862s we're still finding the Titans alting
8864s we're still finding these kills going
8866s down even though the Viper slightly
8869s changes the same strategy still exists
8871s the hit and run style picking off these
8874s Titans in their mid game unfortunately
8877s for uh jjh and wolves the only two monk
8881s teams they find a way to grief each
8882s other so we will not be seeing that same
8886s sand Mech going uh to these end games
8889s and that's what I saying game one a lot
8891s of these teams not firing in all
8893s cylinders a lot of the Viper teams not
8895s able to break uh the slow defenses but
8899s as some of these teams open up as some
8901s of these uh sand siphons try to make
8904s things happen going into that mid game
8908s transitional periods with the Yang
8909s depletion situations we're seeing the
8912s Vipers converting on those fights every
8915s risk is super super risky in the modern
8920s day Naga you have to really calculate
8922s your positions and we're seeing GG
8924s navigate this perfectly able to get
8927s their teada CJs to that goal
8931s uh toada alt and having that nice big
8935s cannon going into this end game a lot of
8938s sand s in all of their offense runs
8940s through their teada similar to how in
8943s the mid game vipers go around they're
8946s looking for you to commit your ultimat
8948s the second any of these sand siphons
8951s their teada sees you invest Al They will
8953s be diving in to come in clear you up
8957s with their singular teada all eating up
8959s those Soul balloons where seeing te in
8961s this mid game perfectly getting lucky
8964s with this position and grabbing that
8966s gold armor for their uh teada one of the
8969s new additions uh this season Duncan is
8973s this 80% Moon Bane I like to call it it
8976s kind of forces everyone to the edge zone
8979s so you can't really hold uh the best
8981s position in the middle you can't sit
8984s what you say the middle is the best
8986s position because in the middle loation
8989s depends on that's true yeah I would say
8993s um the middle is a lowkey spot free
8995s gatekeeping being opened up fpx actually
8998s in the first J cup showing why in the
9001s middle it ends up being one of the
9003s safest cuz most of the teams on the edge
9005s aren't actually looking in they're
9006s looking to their left they're looking to
9008s their right so the middle ends up taking
9010s the least amount of pressure as long as
9012s you have some type of hard cover where
9013s you can ISO and look back out to the
9016s edge the middle ends up being a very
9018s very safe location but this 80%
9021s Moon Bane pushes everyone to the edge
9023s here so you end up having to play this
9025s end game where you have to find the best
9027s position going transitioning to this
9029s first moon Bane so you don't get forced
9031s down by these range attacks the name of
9033s the game here is holding on to your
9035s ultimates and forcing people to Al first
9038s now in one of these really really great
9040s positions we're seeing scale rushes
9041s coming out from the P sword coming out
9043s big and the assassination coming out
9046s great pickoff from k q GG with the scale
9050s Rush an absolute devastating attack that
9053s scale Rush confirming into the R&B we
9055s see the ewg in the house just holding
9058s their ground trying to stay out of sight
9061s out of mind the cannon shots ringing in
9063s from ug but it doesn't matter the
9065s attacks coming out with a we lose our
9067s Viper but we keep our team Alive Now
9070s transitioning to this end game really
9073s really interesting stuff we got a no old
9075s Zone end game Duncan who do you think is
9077s going to take
9078s it it's kind of uh kind of difficult to
9081s say at this point the chaos has started
9084s to ensue and just every team is
9087s scrapping it out wait what sorry going
9090s with GG they had going with GG I mean GG
9092s they are they are pretty closers baby
9094s they're closers baby but they noce see
9096s the deal for these end games but look at
9099s fpx here they have a really good
9101s position they're up on The High Ground
9103s there although ultimate High Ground
9105s isn't necessarily just the win condition
9108s that gets you these wins it is super
9110s valuable if you can play around it
9111s effectively ug not in the worst position
9115s they're trying to find these
9116s eliminations in this end game as they've
9118s not really managed to find all that many
9119s leading up to ewg Ling in that house the
9122s Viper Al has been popped ug is going to
9125s get staggered momentarily with that yo
9126s Al is going to be pulled out immediately
9129s Tessa Al has been loged onto ug the king
9133s and SS here I'm not sure if they're
9135s going to be able to capitalize oh no vvv
9138s drops down the king just surviving just
9141s avoiding it SS taking damage from the
9143s armor Pierce though and te lyd is going
9146s to pick up an elimination onto SS
9149s beautifully done the armor Pierce doing
9151s work there but look at fpx fpx they're
9155s just sitting pretty they're just raining
9157s range projectiles down onto the other
9159s side of the Zone I think they might have
9161s found themselves that God spot for the
9163s moment K and ug as well losing members
9167s JL vvv managing to find that elimination
9170s the armor Pierce again though doing work
9172s vvv taking a bunch of damage but the
9173s soul Bloom is going to top him back up
9175s ewg 9 over there in the back eating a
9178s bunch of damage getting logged down and
9180s fpx managing to pick up the kill just
9182s coming in coming in for a moment and
9184s then immediately disengaging heading on
9186s back to their spot to their little
9188s little home over there ug the king a
9191s sliver of HP as well te Leo going to be
9194s able to pick him up CJs in the sky
9197s trying to trying to stay in the but
9200s they've lost a member so GG even though
9202s they do have 12 eliminations they've
9204s lost a teammate and Dong Shing he's
9206s about to get ug he's getting in there
9209s popping that F1 the staff out he manages
9212s to get that confirmation onto han han
9214s goes down Don King he does he does get
9218s hit by this Parry by this Parry followup
9221s and unfortunately the three band zone is
9223s still active trying to buy some time I
9227s believe to I mean they just they can't
9229s use the RS no nobody nobody can do
9231s anything really it's just neutral play
9233s at this point they're just trying to
9234s stay together ewg4 does get taken down
9237s by dong Shing the jabbing doing so much
9240s cxz running straight into the corner
9243s here also getting picked up fbx doing
9245s work in this Lobby they were able to buy
9248s so much time leading up to this point
9249s they have all three members alive
9251s they're just running the lobby as it as
9254s they just they just don't have anyone
9256s that can contest them at this point
9257s they're playing together they're playing
9259s safe doing a good job water's lost some
9261s armor here but he does have that Soul
9263s Bloom to pick up get a little bit of
9265s Health back vbv with that Cavalry Bloom
9267s trying to make something happen but
9268s unfortunately not able to really do all
9270s that much now that the three band Zone
9272s has expired the alts come out dong Shing
9274s has popped that toada Al water getting
9277s taken down dangerously low vvv cleaning
9279s it up getting that kill the turret shots
9282s knocking these players into the Zone
9283s dong Shing he's trying to stay on his
9285s feet he does get knocked again and again
9288s one more what HP
9290s oh the M Defiance is going to save him
9292s though he doesn't have anything to work
9294s with he doesn't have his zipping to keep
9296s him alive GG 330 still alive txj and vvv
9301s it looks as though it might be a JL
9302s Victory here GG they're trying to get in
9305s the zone but they're not being allowed
9307s in txj managing to get a little bit of
9309s damage on the 330 but it doesn't look
9312s like it's going to matter why is he in
9313s the zone he just drops down from the
9316s from the safe Zone tries to get in there
9318s and just lets the to go into the into
9323s that small little bit of what what I'm
9326s not sure about that one bro I'm not sure
9328s about that one he's like really really
9330s great
9331s play from G there yeah your call out was
9336s almost there with FPS on The High Ground
9339s in that no old Zone it comes in huge but
9343s uh JL and GG Veterans of this end game
9347s you see Master Class even though they
9349s only have two members alive they have
9351s their two carriers Al they have txj and
9354s vbv those two together absolute monsters
9358s at the jcup finals but GG has their te
9361s up and when you have that te up with the
9363s gold Al and a zipping he can still do a
9366s devastating amount of work the enemy of
9368s my enemy is my friend so we see JL and
9372s GG team up against the stronger fbx fpx
9376s trying to find the kill onto the enemy
9378s tea ends up overextending ing not able
9381s to find the kill and unfortunately for
9384s them they run into the faia of vbv and
9390s txj BBV hit him with a one two and take
9395s down the critical te for fpx but those
9400s three teams fpx GG JL absolute Titans JL
9405s normally not up there but they have two
9408s of the world final
9410s vbv and txj to carry their name to carry
9414s their Banner Over The Finish Line what
9417s an excellent end game right there no no
9419s old Zone throws a wrench in everyone's
9422s game play right there like the the one
9425s house the one hard cover you just see so
9427s much action going down over there and uh
9430s unlike uh GGG fpx sitting on the outside
9433s kind of like playing it slow they
9435s control the Zone really really well with
9437s G actively poking seeing what what
9440s seeing if they can weaken one of the
9442s stronger teams unfortunately for
9445s fpx uh I feel like their target
9447s selection was a little bit off there
9449s going for the enemy teada the big threat
9452s that throws your team off in that end
9453s game is most likely going to be that
9455s faion Yodo cuz whoever they invest their
9457s alt into is probably going to get taken
9460s down there I think if fpx forces vvv and
9463s txj into the last Duo and don't let them
9466s uh dictate the tempo there they
9467s definitely take the round but again feel
9470s like uh fbx had that in the in the
9473s strats had that in the books the no Al
9475s Zone really throws off their Tempo so
9477s they're not able to capitalize on how
9479s well they positioned in that end game
9482s yeah true I think if if dong Shing had
9485s been able to actually make just actually
9488s utilize his Al more in that end game you
9491s know he would have been able to get more
9492s value for sure unfortunately the moment
9495s that the three band Zone goes down we
9497s have the fer Al we have the zipping it's
9499s just like he just wasn't really able to
9501s capitalize on his ultimate unfortunately
9503s potentially the play would have been to
9505s just try and hold on to it a little bit
9507s longer wait for that fch to go down but
9510s staying alive with the fch in play can
9513s be rather difficult so it's a bit of a
9516s tossup but we'll never know hindsight is
9519s 2020 but here we are yet again ladies
9522s and gentlemen the answer for Treasures
9525s you know the drill make sure to get your
9526s answers in the chat to have a chance at
9528s winning yourself a spring split random
9530s gift box and the question is how many
9533s players chose to Mulk in game number two
9537s oo was it a 2 was it B 3 oh I can't read
9541s the rest of the answers I didn't have
9543s enough
9544s time uh well you saw them you saw them
9547s uh but anyway we're going to the
9549s standings of that game the scoreboard
9551s from that game GG sitting on 16
9554s eliminations God damn 16 with that first
9559s place finish is going to net them a
9560s considerable number of points
9563s 26.4 four ranking points what a
9566s performance coming out from GG and we're
9568s just rushing through the screens right
9570s now got the the stats coming out from GG
9574s not a crazy amount of damage from any
9577s any of them in particular but solid
9579s damage across the board they're able to
9581s get these kills quick and clean seven
9584s eliminations on CJs here five for 330
9589s and and four for lxm doing work I mean
9593s there's nothing too surprising F1
9596s V2 you know actually I wanted to ask
9599s you we saw a little bit of F2 zipping
9602s coming out in
9604s solos it's never coming to trios I don't
9606s think but do you think this resurges of
9608s F2 zipping is going to is going to
9610s continue in solos or not really yeah
9613s definitely will because uh F2 is a
9616s really really good solution to AOS
9618s modern day AOS and and
9621s uh child just cuz the agos lunge it
9625s gives you another option to be able to
9627s fade that pressure and with the at least
9630s the modern day glyphs now on this patch
9633s uh it's actually a little bit weaker but
9635s with the current patch um I know in
9639s China Mike has shown constant videos of
9642s this that zipping is a s tier character
9645s she barely takes any damage when she
9647s Pops that uh V1
9650s now will Mike switch over he's still
9653s using F1 I believe just because the
9654s amount of healing potential it gives you
9656s but spider for a while now has been
9658s playing F2 and spider loves going into
9661s raml Yang when he's uh in there now in
9665s trios will we ever see F2 zipping uh
9668s pretty hard cell be considering you're
9670s trying to buff your teammates as much as
9672s possible and zipping role in the sand
9675s siphon is to keep her teada alive and uh
9678s generally F1 is going to keep him alive
9681s is he going to take some light attacks
9683s yes but he's mainly chunking a lot of
9685s damage and the F1 gives uh flat damage
9687s reduction and plus healing so it's
9690s always going to be a little bit better
9692s wolves still maintaining their top spot
9694s a mile ahead everyone uh
9697s B scratching the surface but not playing
9699s today ug probably has a chance to go
9703s through ug during all the weeklys doing
9706s super super well playing very very
9709s consistent
9710s and I'm seeing a great adjustment to
9713s their game play going into uh the third
9716s bi-weekly now the second by-weekly they
9718s were kind of just running their
9720s traditional strats uh getting away with
9723s murder essentially getting all of the
9725s loot and we see them there at the
9726s platform getting challenged again but
9729s this time with adjustments they're not
9731s just like getting timing attack and not
9733s realizing it but GG showing up big like
9738s I said I've been sing these guys for the
9740s past year they were the best siphon team
9744s now I believe ug has caught up cuz I
9746s just I I feel like even though GG
9749s navigates endgame better uh with ug
9752s picking up you mechanically just dueling
9756s wise uh their 3v3 overtakes GG uh
9760s unfortunately for them a lot of this
9762s game is not just fighting it's also this
9765s macro it's also this leveling up it's
9767s also this positional play we see a
9769s Master Class of why Gigi was the most
9773s dominant uh sand SI and why they
9775s dictated the meta with all of their
9778s picks with their change on Tami you
9781s pointed out before that all the tmis in
9782s the league were one running V3 uh gigg
9786s was the first team to start running V2
9788s Tami now they've moved on to even V1
9791s Tami for that extra two seconds normally
9795s when T's both all there's a lot of t on
9797s Tami action especially with the old Jade
9800s system where you had very little stamina
9802s so if the Tes were able to peel for
9804s their team you could ice off a lot of
9806s the pressure and we're seeing the MVP
9808s going down to CGS look at how stacked my
9812s man was tons of Health mortal Defiance
9816s with the fan 8K damage
9819s 4.4k with the twin shot bounce going
9822s into that end
9824s game canon just so pivotal in
9828s controlling Tempo in this end game
9830s you're seeing all of the teams picking
9832s up Canon but mainly the carry so a lot
9834s of that endgame GG able to keep their
9837s teada alt online doing tons of damage
9841s with that Cannon attack now
9842s unfortunately the no Al Zone stops GG
9845s from getting a lot more kills these guys
9847s very very active in end games they know
9849s how to control positions they know how
9850s to leverage every little bit of utility
9853s that they're able to squeeze out of
9854s their early and mid game and we're
9856s seeing a lot of um that m magic come
9860s back today on this game to Duncan hollo
9866s GG doing super super well I'm sad though
9869s sad about the monks griefing each other
9872s why do we have to take each other out I
9874s wanted to see some more interesting monk
9876s play of how it deals with this modern
9879s day but like I said before uh sanme all
9882s the monk teams kind of phased out cuz in
9885s in this mid game it's very very hard to
9888s to survive
9890s now don't go anywhere folks we're going
9892s to take a short break and there's still
9894s a lot more of nraa pro league trios
9897s ahead of us we will be right back after
9900s this short

10151s somay in game
10154s three and we are back ladies and
10158s gentlemen for for the third biweekly
10160s nraa pro league trios what an exciting
10164s day I am Raven plz I am joined by the
10168s great sword connoisseur the Tarka known
10171s around the world Mr Duncan Donuts today
10176s has been a beautiful day so far Duncan
10179s with the leaders kind of shaping up
10182s we're seeing the Old Guard bringing it
10184s back new faces at the top but I'm last
10187s time in the second bi-weekly finest we
10190s didn't get to see all of the Old Guard
10192s in there I always want to see the new
10194s faces base off to the Old Guard to
10197s really establish themselves to really
10199s let everyone know that a new guard may
10203s be happening with the roster changes
10205s this season being vast and massive
10209s coaches going different places teams
10211s going different places new rule set we
10214s got phases now in trios we got match
10217s point and this qualif though we're still
10219s in the qualifiers last day we're going
10221s to have solos tomorrow solo third week
10224s finals trios finals following that day
10228s so these teams are fighting to get there
10232s to earn their right to win one of these
10235s weeklys KLA doing a really really
10238s Stellar job today wolves really
10240s surprising me able to maintain their
10243s consistency I'm definitely a wolves
10245s hater that team always used to in the
10248s past just play play so passively not
10250s really taking any action unlike this
10253s team JL vvv with the classic chin up
10257s always so confident looking into every
10260s round him and
10262s txj an absolute unit of a Duo showing us
10266s in that last game why they were able to
10269s win this last world's jup but going in
10273s to this next game I'm loving what GG was
10277s showing us I definitely want to go back
10279s and check out what exactly they did cuz
10282s ug um
10285s and KLA have been absolutely dominating
10289s normally on their siphon
10291s teams also wbg unfortunately for wbg
10295s we're not going to see them today not
10296s able to contest uh they do get pushed
10299s out the second weekly finals wbg also
10303s plagued with inconsistency so we'll have
10305s to see in week four but first this week
10309s three we're still saying seeing that
10311s same type of picks but
10314s again wolves going against the grain
10318s we're seeing some Innovation coming out
10320s where they're saying like we don't
10322s believe wait
10324s what is the best C we're going to just
10327s still keep going Faria we think that
10329s Faria is a little bit you see what do we
10332s see the the Z Matari
10335s Zari wait a second JL coming up with new
10339s techn this has to be a troll pick are
10341s they actually going to lock in it's
10343s locked it's locked in bro no no more Z
10347s everywhere what is that currently a
10350s plagued in actual ranked if this works
10355s Duncan that's looking like the old
10357s Juggernaut strategy where you had Matari
10361s and zipping the original siphon comp was
10364s uh
10365s Matari um zipping buffing up to kada but
10369s in this instance Z I'm wondering why you
10375s oh so if you didn't know this matar's
10378s ultimate actually
10379s refreshes one of your skill cooldowns
10382s and if zy in her ultimate uses her first
10385s gold F and then goes in this she will
10387s have her next f up so technically if Z
10392s is pressuring teada she will have three
10395s combo breaks to continue staggering him
10398s over and over for the enemy team to stay
10400s on her Target interesting stuff coming
10403s out from JL so more Innovation Duncan oh
10406s my goodness this is definitely going to
10409s be
10410s a if I hope the the camera stays on them
10414s and I definitely will go back and watch
10416s this cuz we haven't seen a competitive
10419s variation of Z in Trio since the sea
10423s region ran Yan zipping zai when she
10427s initially came out remember that yeah
10430s all of the jam just because of how
10432s durable Z was and the amount of damage
10433s he was putting out but after the
10435s balancing Nerfs toning down her impact
10439s uh she pretty much was phased out of
10440s trios completely but JL dxj and vbv
10445s known for innovating where everyone in
10447s the league kind of stays on notice and
10449s waits to see what they do I'm really
10452s excited to see how this comp plays off
10454s because Matari good counter to uh Viper
10457s comps and if Z is going to get a triple
10461s gold F from Matari I see the theory
10463s behind it it could possibly he's running
10465s F3 I knew it so I was going to say F3 is
10469s pretty well we're just double commenting
10471s out of there oh if they're running F3
10474s then they're going to get the Matari
10475s Refresh on the F3 and they're
10478s just they're just going to Comet these
10481s toas just be like come here boy just
10485s flying him
10487s matar against
10490s how they win versus Yodo and Faria this
10493s is I don't see how it wins I feel like
10495s uh yeah the Y is going to be rough in
10499s just have their way with Z she has she
10501s has no answer to them the comet is just
10504s uh Aesthetics at this point she gets to
10507s fly through the air a little bit and
10508s enjoy herself but the the pain of the
10512s faia Yoda we'll see I I'm crossing my
10515s fingers that they show me an answer to
10517s this they are the world champion so if
10520s anyone can make something weird work I
10523s I've would been saying for a while now
10525s that with the current meta I believe
10528s there is another composition that exists
10529s that no one's thought about with how
10532s powerful Z is with how powerful like V3
10534s Justina is with how powerful Tessa is
10537s there's some weird variation that exists
10540s going in and especially with the new
10542s character dropping we're going to see a
10544s big music musical chair Shuffle in the
10547s future of nraa but first I'm excited to
10549s see this last game of hollow it's game
10552s three off spawn we're going to see klaa
10556s in
10557s Imperium basing off against Alliance a
10561s lot of the timing attacks happen in
10562s Imperium there's just so much good loot
10564s around here especially with it's high
10565s yield the northern part having so much
10568s loot multiple platforms having loot just
10571s outside having a ton of loot now no
10573s fireflies on gauge what we see looks
10575s like we have ug versus GG two of the
10580s strongest dueling teams two of the
10581s strongest macro teams but ug on their
10583s Tessa Viper looking for the opener right
10585s now Tessa going in the uh F3 of yan
10589s being invested on the Tesla damage
10591s reduction tickling everyone F2 from Yodo
10594s is coming out but the pressure from O is
10597s just too much they absolutely shred GG
10601s with that F3 Viper coming in hot uu on
10605s the woen man they make that look easy
10609s that was just slice and dice coming out
10613s from ug the Hang swword doing so much
10616s they were grouped up the vertical blue
10620s just oh decimating GG unfortunately for
10623s them they're going to have to go and
10625s find a rebirth somewhere else most
10628s likely but we're heading back on over to
10630s Imperium Village KLA fighting it out
10633s against Alliance Q G taking a bunch of
10636s damage here off of a Parry that wasn't
10638s even even meant for him but thankfully
10640s he's still on his feet they managed to
10642s buy themselves a little bit of time but
10644s ug are coming into the mix they are
10646s engaging like oh they just they just got
10650s beasts just going crazy just the jaw
10653s lock they are locked in and they are not
10656s going to be letting these players go
10658s Alliance bow he's trying to disengage
10660s but I'm not sure if he's going to be
10662s able to make it out of their line of
10664s sight has for the moment ug they
10667s recognize that there's other teams close
10669s by they don't want to get caught out
10671s chasing people down unnecessarily
10674s stabilized it's like it's just like
10676s tempered ugliness and I love it K
10679s they're coming in they're trying to find
10680s an opening them for
10682s themselves but all the Tessa Al coming
10685s in the Viper Al as well K oh no the bear
10689s trap catching qgg but it's not going to
10692s matter ug they're focusing all of their
10695s attention onto this karumi but
10697s unfortunately they're not able to take
10699s him down just yet manages to get that
10702s ultimate off and they're forced to
10703s disengage they're forced to try and step
10705s back for the moment the big Parry coming
10707s out from the wuen and it looks as though
10711s they're just going to use that ultimate
10712s to disengage Alliance bow where is he is
10716s he sitting in a bush or is he just hide
10718s he's just hiding behind a rock he's just
10721s sat there crouched hiding behind the
10724s rock trying to see if he can pick up a
10727s kill here or something I don't know
10728s what's going on but we've got the
10730s re-engagement coming out
10733s again oh Alliance the kick coming
10736s through he gets the kick onto the toada
10738s qgg he's so low here he's not able to
10742s stay on his feet Alliance they going to
10744s be just picking up the scraps here easy
10746s peasy lemon squeezy Alliance picking up
10750s three
10751s eliminations ohug plays that perfectly
10754s right there really dragging out the
10756s resources of K you see ug not wanting to
10759s invest their woin port until teada goes
10762s down now Alliance able to close that out
10766s but now we're going to get the rematch
10767s ug versus Alliance we you took our kills
10770s we're coming back Wen PO is going to get
10772s forced out but ug really really good at
10774s hunting going to try to sniff out
10776s exactly where Alliance went but wen's
10779s Port that was an stier Port all the way
10782s out in the so max range gets go away
10784s from there now we're going to get ewg
10786s versus JL inside Mets happen we're
10788s seeing the new comp the Z AL is already
10793s invested just this composition is just
10796s so for fun I I can't I want to see it
10799s work and it looks like te's pressure
10802s does get neutralized here and that's one
10804s thing that I think the com does a little
10806s bit better than um a traditional sand
10810s siphon is that you're able to disengage
10813s out of these Moon Bane situations cuz
10815s you're invisible when you're invisible
10817s you're not able to get counter grap and
10818s looks like JL is able to find their way
10820s out of here unfortunately ewg fresh with
10823s the triple old does capture see them on
10826s their exit strategy and they are going
10828s to get Dove on JL no alter name Tei Al
10831s going to get invested here on to Matari
10833s the good thing for Matari though he she
10835s can Port away so she is a great
10838s sacrifice here creating a ton of space
10841s for her team to get out of there t all's
10843s ready down can uh JL find a way back
10847s this is nice job by vvv great presence
10850s of Mind from uh JL to fade back to get
10853s to that bisa they don't have ultimates
10855s but they do have this ballista to their
10858s name and now ewg has to reconsider how
10861s they're going to enter on here no Tami
10863s Al to their name but they still have
10865s that teada all on the outside though
10867s investing into this would mean that they
10869s would be all in and it looks like uh JL
10872s is actually able to survive that
10874s situation as well great job avoiding the
10876s moon Bane pressure from t and then great
10879s job from avoiding the full triple old
10882s pressure from ewg now off the platform
10885s we're seeing ewg getting invested on
10888s into drg in these Canyons nowhere to go
10892s jjh also getting taken down Yodo getting
10896s juggled against the wall nowhere to go
10898s Flames now running for the hills can't
10901s go
10901s anywhere ewg on his heels with the
10905s shelves coming out where you going
10907s flames you're going down give me these
10909s points we're going to slurp this up and
10911s ewg on their quest to get the 72 points
10915s so goal post is moving Higher and Higher
10919s and ewg definitely has their work ahead
10922s of them if they hope to
10924s qualify for this third by-weekly
10928s finals absolutely we're heading on to
10932s the podium GG fighting against wolves
10936s here the thorny roller just come through
10939s again and again but they don't seem to
10942s care they're just going to keep on
10944s fighting ZK managed to attach himself to
10947s that ceiling able to avoid the thorny
10949s roller they're trying to chase down GG
10951s lxm he's immediately just full
10954s disengaging with those grapples along
10957s with his teammates and it looks as
10959s though they may have been able to make
10960s it out alive and disengage fully here
10964s but unfortunately I don't think EG is
10966s going to be able to do the same
10969s KLA coming in with that perfect third
10972s party the timing attack catching wolves
10975s with their pants down having just fought
10978s GG oh no but the re-engage again another
10982s timing attack coming out from Alliance
10984s here Alliance seeing all of this sort of
10986s scrap they know what's happening they
10988s know they knew there was a moon Bane
10990s here not that long ago all of the teams
10992s just coming on over to see what's going
10994s on they find them slipping they find KLA
10998s having committed their ultimates and not
10999s having the cool Downs available and they
11002s just take them down one by one it seems
11005s this lonely karumi trying to disengage
11008s trying to scale rush and grapple away
11011s 17s he's not going to be able to do it
11014s unfortunately and he does get cleaned up
11017s by Alliance but now ug coming into the
11019s mix the Tessa Al has landed onto
11022s Alliance Tessa Lane parrying just a
11025s little bit too early unable to prevent
11028s this pul or damage from coming through
11031s and the forced Wen Al is going to take
11034s them to safety for just a moment I don't
11036s think ug is aware of where they
11039s teleported to and engaging on this team
11043s in that in that space underneath the
11045s podium with the thorny roller in play is
11048s a bit dangerous I do think we have
11050s Realms of Yang up as well but none of
11052s these teams seem all that interested all
11054s of the teams just fighting around the
11056s podium they're ready to go in though I I
11058s said that it was a little risky they are
11060s ready to take that risk engaging
11064s immediately exactly trip getting onto
11068s the ceiling yeah the triple scale Rush
11070s coming in Alliance was actually set a
11073s nice trap there with this triple scale
11075s rush and I was like is are they going to
11076s fall for UD was like you got a triple
11078s scale rush we got the triple scale Rush
11080s what's up Flying V formation ducks fly
11083s together we're coming out there like you
11085s were pointing out Duncan realm of Yang
11087s we get another uh pleasure seeing JL in
11091s here with the zy can this beat siphon is
11093s the question we're going jdg toot I can
11097s even pronounce this on the teada Z is
11099s going to come out F3 going to be
11101s invested flying up he's going to get
11102s another F3 he is in the he is just
11105s getting put in the blender what can he
11107s do getting shoved left the right popped
11110s right now but we do have that matarial
11113s he can pick himself up right now will he
11116s be able to find the kill vbb able to
11117s pick up his Health up another shove
11120s coming out this sand siphon is very very
11124s Juiced up purple armor on everyone but
11126s JL is able to weather the storm and
11129s match right now now it's coming down to
11130s a neutral situation Dragon bro is going
11132s to come out by Fong controlling the
11133s space now BV takes the guy looks for the
11135s flame he's going to get it F3 is going
11137s to come out with the fly and the second
11140s BBV going crazy on the Z we still got B2
11144s on our zipping are we going to close
11145s this out jdg has a chance to come out
11148s vbb is popped right now he's going to
11150s keep up the pressure light attacks are
11151s coming out 1 V3 situation and are we
11154s going to get the first upset full
11156s blueberry team with the Z is going to
11159s take down oh my God it's tell me this
11163s isn't real what am I watching in 2024 Z
11167s Matari zipping oh my God this is going
11170s to go everywhere in rank this is going
11171s to be absolutely nuts Duncan oh god oh
11176s no oh no
11178s Comet Z flying in is the m special they
11183s watched the EU scrims they saw the zy
11188s pr any of you guys don't know the EU
11191s scrims for trios took place recently and
11194s we had Mido one of the the OG EU players
11199s he is uh he's definitely a z enjoyer
11202s along with his V3 Justina and he gets so
11206s much value out of these off meta picks
11208s it's it's actually crazy to see how much
11210s value he can get out of it um but yeah I
11214s I somewhat doubt that JL was uh was
11217s watching the EU Trio scrim I slightly
11220s doubt
11221s it it's probably something that they've
11223s been cooking up for a little bit
11224s themselves but hey JL with the F3 Z
11228s pulling it out showing what's up hey may
11232s maybe M wasn't smoking that copium you
11234s know maybe he was on to something all
11236s along ladies and gentlemen
11238s vvv he's looking to make something
11240s happen yet again committing both of his
11241s FS the Parry coming out but
11243s unfortunately the zipping not able to
11245s keep him alive just gets absolutely
11249s obliterated even with that gold damage I
11252s think they just they they could have
11253s committed more ultimates but I think
11255s they were just going to try and see if
11256s they could do something with just the Z
11259s and then he just instantly disappeared
11262s and they weren he wasn't able to stay
11263s alive unfortunately oh JL one thing very
11267s nice little turn around there with that
11270s Dragon raar managing to pick up that one
11272s elimination now in a 1v2 situation he's
11274s not going to be able to do this I don't
11276s think he can't prevent the res here he's
11279s using the ultimate interestingly enough
11281s he's going for the Dragon Roll he's
11282s trying to turn it around actually gets
11283s the confirmation but the Tessa s Tessa f
11286s is going to prevent it from continuing
11289s and ug going to be able to pick up
11292s JL what am I watching we cast the Cur
11296s now disappeared just that's what I'm
11299s saying z z is not a unit she is very
11302s very vulnerable first ug is going to get
11304s doed on by
11306s ew coming in hot with the T all
11309s investment ug is going to be able to
11310s pour it out of here nice counter play
11312s with the Wen denying that temi pressure
11314s and ug is going to try to make their way
11316s to the bush to the noal zone and fight
11319s this out surrounded by all angles we got
11322s wolves in here as well as jdg fighting
11324s on the outside ewg just got so many
11327s options to pick up off from it looks
11328s like they're going to pick from this
11330s Buffet of fights over here at the wall
11334s over here at the bridge wolves not
11336s seeing the oncoming danger lurking in
11339s the shadows that is ewg ewg making their
11342s way off looking for that Focus fire
11344s looking for that Ambush wolves
11346s recognizing wait a second something is a
11348s foot something is in the air is ewg the
11351s dmac is going to come down and now F1
11354s activating on the teada 9 looking to get
11357s that opener off tamy trying to close it
11359s close a distance hold down this great
11361s jump Parry coming on from Yan now ewg's
11364s 9 has to reel has to slow this down but
11368s jdg coming in the flank the hunters
11371s become the hunted now wolves activating
11373s as well another ncka Festival going down
11376s we got a third party we got a fourth
11377s party it's just a giant Festival all MOS
11380s pitting in R&B's coming out jg's to
11383s going to get deleted and ewg fading out
11387s of all this pressure finding their way
11389s back into this 80% on teada looking to
11392s get this Ultimate N did I F3 Z coming in
11396s hot jdg JL joining in the party we got
11400s vvv on the Z almost has Ultimate Sub the
11405s karumi is going to be investing her
11406s ultimate but JL staying active in this
11409s mid game they're not playing this slow
11411s at all this looks like to be a very
11414s active C countering the current meta of
11418s this V3 Viper and the siphon I would
11422s like to see this comp versus Cannonball
11424s and how it fares but looks like the
11425s fight selection coming out from JL with
11428s five kills it's looking to find these
11431s sand sions and these uh Attack on Titans
11435s when they're vulnerable and finding that
11437s F3 jump in when they can ewg somehow
11441s surviving all of that chaos with no
11444s ultimates good job to them they still
11446s have their work cut out for them they're
11447s still trying to qualify to go into this
11451s third bi-weekly
11453s finals indeed that was
11456s JJ going into the realm of Yang
11459s seemingly uncontested for the moment but
11462s yeah that is something that we've yeah
11464s it looks as though they're just going to
11464s go fully uncontested one of the main
11466s reasons that we we see this occasionally
11469s happening we see most teams looking to
11471s contest the first realm of Yang but the
11473s secondary realm of Yang is isn't always
11476s something that teams to go for as it's
11480s that it's later on into the game a lot
11482s of teams are very stacked and then some
11485s not so much some of these teams have
11487s blue armor speaking of we have ug with
11489s blue armor on two members ni to find the
11492s Tessa confirmation onto on to nine nine
11495s no ultimate to speak of and just gets
11497s cooked here SS as well though he's
11501s taking a lot of
11502s damage his teammate trying to peel for
11504s him they managed to find the peel and 14
11507s is also going to be taken down
11510s ewg in a very bad spot here it looks as
11513s though XG yeah he's the I I did think
11516s that one of them may have survived and
11518s that does seem to be the case but is he
11520s going to be able to creep his way into
11521s the
11523s Zone the anti-healing is starting to
11525s stack
11528s up oh no he's found they found him he
11532s does avoid the Tesa Al the V1 does Dodge
11535s away but he does get over held by Oh
11538s you's you the fans that was O that was
11542s rough Alliance coming in to pick up the
11544s scraps um but back to what I was was
11547s going to say there's there's far fewer
11549s teams and a lot of these teams are
11551s looking to go into that end game they're
11552s trying to stay alive and they're not
11555s looking to fight all that much going
11558s into the end game unless they are forced
11560s to do so if you're in that end game and
11564s you you've gone into the realm of Yang
11565s and you've lost and you have Yang
11566s depletion trying to force fights can be
11570s very detrimental to your to your game
11572s you just a lot of the time you might not
11574s be able to find teams who are even
11577s willing to entertain the idea of
11579s fighting or even just like playing the
11581s initial just of back and forth and
11583s you're forced to commit so so hard
11587s you're forced to overcommit a lot of the
11589s time and just just just go YOLO and just
11592s try your very best to actually get
11594s anything and a lot of the time there are
11596s a lot of teams that are are aware of
11598s this the Yang depletion situation that
11601s we talk about they're aware of this
11603s being a possibility and they're just
11605s waiting to see if there's a team lurking
11607s around trying to force fights wait for
11610s them to do so and then come in for that
11612s third party so you have to be very sure
11616s that you're able to either secure that
11620s realm of Yang win or potentially have
11623s soul blooms but that that's the thing
11625s though Soul blooms they're not are
11627s they're not ever present now once you
11630s kill somebody once you take them down
11632s they do expire after 2 minutes now I
11634s don't think it's on the patch that
11636s they're currently playing but it will be
11638s very
11639s soon fpx though we're going into Quick
11642s replay ewg up against fpx in the realm
11644s of Yang dong Shing getting tossed around
11647s hasn't committed the ultimate but now
11649s pulling it out having lost some armor
11653s the fair Al and the uan out all three
11655s members using their ultimates herey
11657s trying to lock down this deada and
11658s they're able to do so nine getting
11661s cooked dong Shing taking a lot of damage
11664s as well is that
11666s F1 no F2 F2 F2 what was I think that was
11669s F2 yeah when heed there Duncan when he
11673s saw F
11675s exciting off meta connoisseur Duncan FX
11679s is's going to be closing out this fight
11681s though winning the realm of Yang on
11683s their Cannonball versus ewg nothing left
11687s to do critical play coming out from fpx
11689s closing this out no no bad Blues only
11692s light attacks closing out that zipping
11694s nothing she can do to bring that fight
11697s back the
11698s fpx on The Cannonball now we saw them in
11701s game two play that end game perfectly
11703s you pointed them out on The High Ground
11705s absolutely out positioning the rest of
11707s the lobby now we're seeing them
11709s posturing going into this end game but
11712s this is what I was saying first game
11714s very very slow second game starts
11716s getting a little bit more heated and now
11718s going into game three we are starting to
11721s get up to that red hotness where all the
11723s teams are comfortable they know that
11725s everything is on the line right now they
11727s need to make this weekly finals
11729s everyone's comfortable we're seeing that
11731s Comfort level through the roof with
11733s JL trying out this Matari Z zipping
11738s composition a
11740s version of the siphon so the lineage of
11743s siphon we used to call siphon with kada
11748s the Matari zipping where you give that
11750s Matari all to the teada getting giving
11752s him an extra shove you just ran your
11755s entire offense through that and it was
11757s actually V1 zipping back in the day cuz
11760s every shove that teada does heals him
11763s for his damage now uh as the game has
11767s progressed Teo has been tuned down uh so
11771s his heal isn't as prevalent now before
11774s that even happened tamy ended up being a
11776s better partner
11778s for uh teada just CU it minimized a ton
11781s of the pressure from monks and also gave
11783s you the option of challenging these
11786s chests now fast forward to today fast
11789s forward to JL showing another variation
11793s going with a little bit of AIX here an
11796s old school
11797s remix changing out that te and putting Z
11801s instead with these V3 vipers going
11804s around in this mid game able to
11806s challenge these team so
11808s lowkey no one really knows that Z is an
11812s absolute Menace when it comes to these
11815s wuen Viper Tessa teams the
11818s transformation their Attack on Titan
11820s does not really qualify for dealing with
11823s Z composition we're going to see drg's
11824s WFC going to get taken down and ug is on
11827s an absolute tear they are just rolling
11830s through this lobby with you in the
11833s backline on the woen you got to imagine
11836s that these guys are super super
11838s comfortable you s wuin in the league by
11842s far I believe his ports are super on
11845s point but they're also so Dynamic that
11847s you're able to play so offensively it
11850s looks like JL just like in their
11852s Fashions able to play for these gold
11853s armors finding the great timing right
11855s now and te for more teammates you love
11858s to see it the salty runbacks both teams
11860s looking at each other bvv with the F3
11862s able to Comet his way out of but it
11865s looks like he's going to get connect to
11867s now forced to pop the ultimate forced to
11869s pop matarial in order to stay alive
11871s right now and this is what I was hoping
11872s to see can this team deal with
11875s Cannonball and I just didn't see in the
11877s answer and it looks like the answer is
11879s to just run away avoiding the situation
11883s all together JL managing to get out of
11886s sight out of mind all of te's coold
11889s downs inves is they still have Yodo all
11891s now they have to be careful with Wolves
11894s lurking in the background it looks like
11895s wolves is just that's a solo player in
11896s the bush so JL is still going to be
11899s under a ton of pressure from te the
11901s former teammates going in want to take
11903s this fight knowing that all the cool
11905s Downs are used
11907s te not able to great job kiting uh te
11912s over here JL taking The High Ground
11915s watching them counter grappling for
11916s their teammates and they will survive
11918s going into this end game
11922s woohoo indeed I want to see this in end
11924s game what can they I do as well show me
11926s the
11928s JL oh God this is it's it's a sight to
11932s see you know vvv on the Z actually
11936s actually doing well as well they they
11938s did get a little bit overconfident
11940s coming out of that realm of Yang when
11942s vvv just siph destroyed Z siphon see the
11947s thing is that's lowkey not actually a
11950s bad idea as one of the things that
11952s really prevents teada from getting value
11955s is the fact that Viper can pop that V3
11959s and keep him silenced for the duration
11961s or if they happen to be running F2 they
11963s can use the silence on that f as well so
11967s teada if he's silenced then he he can't
11969s do anything he can't use his ultimate
11971s whereas Z once she's used that ultimate
11974s once she's popped the AL she's able to
11976s just use it like any other weapon and it
11979s gives you so much pressure which is so
11982s so useful when you're when you're trying
11984s to fend off these these Vipers you know
11988s the the gold Focus just sending it out
11991s left and right the the fire wave from
11993s the V2 as well giving you so much uh so
11996s much AOE damage so much AOE pressure and
12000s like the tech Chase as well like you're
12001s never running away from a good z a good
12003s Z player they just chase you to the ends
12006s of the Earth especially with F3 if
12008s you're going to run F3 you know I've I
12011s fought m a bunch in solos with his F3 V2
12015s Z and it is not fun to play against
12018s especially as a t probably one of his
12020s worst machos but even then even if
12022s you're not playing tet even if you're
12023s playing something else it's still really
12026s rough you just play it full aggro you
12029s use the F3 to engage almost immediately
12032s use your ultimate and then you have
12034s another F3 if they try and disengage
12037s again but speaking of disengage
12040s GG they've lost a member here member
12044s 330 almost dead here almost time out
12047s they're trying to disengage they're
12048s trying to apply some pressure here
12051s making that they aren't the ones getting
12053s lobbied oh no fpx water may have gotten
12056s a little bit too close there not too
12058s sure about that one big dog he just sort
12060s of walks into them and just uh
12064s immediately gets destroyed throws down
12066s the pillar but is just not able to get
12069s into that F Mech unfortunately and lxm
12073s picking up another kill CJs oh SS finds
12076s it and gets him with that Cannon shot as
12079s well catches him healing catches him
12082s unaware and is able to pick up the
12083s elimination oh no jo what are you doing
12088s fbx they're just trolling they're just
12090s sort of wandering around without a care
12092s in the world to just walks into GG dies
12097s second one walks into the thorny roller
12099s almost dies forced to use his ultimate
12101s now but we're we're he's managed to he's
12104s managed to stay alive for the moment te
12106s now using that fch applying the pressure
12109s onto Alliance here Alliance bow so low
12112s he does get taken down
12116s V sorry I can't help but laugh what but
12119s look at that see that's the damage
12122s that's the Z damage right there ladies
12124s and gentlemen you throw out that V2 fire
12127s wave the chain wave what do they do they
12130s just get all grouped together and they
12133s just get absolutely cooked JL manag like
12137s they're going uncontested on this side
12139s of the
12141s Zone this is aough I see the theory I I
12144s definitely respect it but ug is
12146s absolutely rolling this Lobby already up
12148s to 15 kills surviving and thriving still
12151s on the outside right now they're just an
12153s assassination Squad moving so viciously
12157s across the map this roller though is
12159s making some nraa pizza some of these
12161s teams looking like pizza though fbx
12163s getting squished over and over looking
12164s like a pepperoni pizza out here just
12167s what happened to fpx with this roller
12169s going around we got JL on the outside
12170s but jjh on The High Ground on The
12172s Cannonball looking to control this space
12174s and hopefully get their faia active the
12176s game good job by jjh flame on the usan
12179s able to dictate a lot of this spacing
12181s right here ug trying to find their nook
12183s and cranny but unfortunately for them
12186s that attack on Titan not able to survive
12188s the situation a Titan
12190s alive taking up that space now ug still
12194s holding that a little bit of location
12196s over there but JJ
12197s is going to slurp that up will they be
12200s able to force ug out of here GG on the
12202s upside Staying Alive get with the F3 on
12206s the Z oh my goodness BBB what's going on
12210s over here does anyone need a little bit
12212s of cooking the the chains are out
12214s whipping this Lobby into submission
12218s vbb with this Z siphon absolutely
12224s decimating the third party what can you
12227s do no alter his a but Yan is going to
12229s come out able to slow down a lot of his
12231s pressure Han on y Yodo is going to get
12233s taken down by jl's txj and it looks like
12237s J JL with the Innovation up to 10 kills
12242s surviving on the edge Against All Odds
12245s is looking to clean up this Lobby te has
12248s one member who's really really low ly
12252s try to die to Zone but it looks like JL
12255s is going to get 13 kills and MVP and you
12258s see that big smile coming out from BBB
12262s he knows they've just changed the game
12265s forever big smile coming out from JL you
12269s think you've seen it all Duncan but
12271s still to this set this day Morocco pro
12275s league showing up and showing us some
12277s new stuff good stuff coming out from JL
12280s BBB txj and
12282s crew what on Earth did we
12288s watch v v you know I'm running this I'm
12291s running this tomorrow you're running
12293s this I'm running this
12295s tomorrow I see the theory this is crazy
12298s man this is so dumb they I thing is like
12302s that's the funniest the funniest thing
12303s is that they they they can't do anything
12305s into Cannonball but they cook everybody
12308s else if they see a cannonball they just
12310s run the other way for they see any other
12312s team they just immediately send it with
12315s that F3 and just get straight in there
12319s the Z doing so much work gold armor gold
12322s weapon Z it's so hard to deal with you
12326s know if you're it's it's also just
12328s something that's quite funny you're not
12330s ready for this going into the mvpl
12333s you're like okay we we've prepped
12335s against the the cannonballs we've
12337s prepped against Sans Sion we've prepped
12339s against against the the the Viper tasac
12342s comp okay we're ready and then you go
12344s into game and you run into a z I Matari
12347s zipping and you're just like what do we
12349s do man what am I supposed to do is this
12353s Duos like
12356s hello the F3 actually doing work though
12359s and hey I mean I've been I've been
12361s saying that it's it's not it's lowkey
12364s kind of good if you play it well wolves
12367s Kai bow tried it in solos not the play
12370s F3 in solos not the play however in
12375s trios because it's functions in a very
12378s similar way to Yoto almost Yoto with the
12381s F2 and the and the F1 being able to just
12385s knock up a player with that gold focus
12389s and also you're applying burn damage
12391s with and we we all know how strong burn
12393s damage is in trios I mean even in solos
12396s burn damage allowing you to access the
12399s health bar directly cut down healing you
12402s know it does it does a lot you are
12404s missing that combo break but if you've
12406s got a met har and a zipping to back you
12408s up you can do a considerable amount with
12412s the Z and uh having them Matari to give
12415s you a third F because if you if you
12417s weren't aware Z she uses her F then SS
12421s the ultimate will refresh her F cool
12423s down if the Matari were to then Al on
12427s top of that she would then have a third
12429s F to play with so it's just a Zai
12432s zooming in like a meteor just
12435s obliterating people applying fire damage
12439s the chain whips coming out it's it's
12442s rough it's hard to deal with it's very
12444s hard to deal with and they uh they
12446s showed how powerful it can really be
12448s it's it's great to see the off meta
12450s picks you know if for a while it was
12454s kind of just every game felt very syy
12456s you know even though we do have more
12460s variety we do have somewhat more variety
12462s than we used to because back in the day
12466s it used to be just one comp would Al
12468s almost be played by every team in a
12470s Lobby so you'd have a Transformers Lobby
12472s you'd have a a Viper Lobby you'd have a
12475s teada lobby but now we have some of each
12478s team in every lobby but it almost feels
12482s like every Lobby is the same now but now
12484s we're getting the crazy stuff coming in
12487s with the Z and hopefully more hopefully
12489s more hopefully the team a team has uh
12492s prepped perhaps a taret
12495s composition again very Wishful thing but
12498s to build off what you were saying you're
12500s you're right Duncan with the Yodo
12502s comparison of Z A lot of the modern day
12504s Yodo the tough part is getting value of
12506s her Al with uh her positioning
12508s everyone's really good at kiting so the
12509s F2 allows her to close the distance the
12512s F3 on the Z allows you to close the
12514s distance and stay on target cu the
12516s second that zy gets near you it's
12518s impossible to get away from her and if
12520s you manage to somehow peel her off get a
12523s focus attack when she's not holding gold
12524s Focus uh she has the second comment with
12527s the Matari able to lock you down so it's
12529s a full lock down composition for these
12532s wuen and um zipping compositions with
12536s the teada there's just nowhere to go as
12538s long as they can survive that initial
12539s Tami Al there is a lot of pressure
12541s coming down wi especially with matar's
12544s and Vis giving him uh giving the zy a
12546s lot of siphon in that durability from
12549s the lack of durability with the F3 we're
12551s seeing JL coming out on top surviving
12553s the Cannonball and getting at 22.2 now
12555s ug was crushing the lobby their
12557s assassination play is definitely
12559s something to look into for this round
12561s I'm going to note this mentally game
12562s three ug going crazy as well uh but txg
12567s Fong vvv you didn't know this two of
12570s these guys were on the world's finals
12572s team te these two got picked up from JL
12575s joined by Fong we're seeing 20 almost
12578s 25k damage coming out from BV and 20
12582s almost 25k damage coming out from txj on
12586s Matari Matari normally looked at as a
12589s support character but you're just you're
12591s seeing how devastating Matari can be
12594s with that Enis in the hands of a very
12597s strong player a lot of people think that
12599s character compositions make everything
12601s no it is the player behind the character
12603s that makes everything ewg so what their
12606s work cut out cut out for them 47.8 which
12609s there's still a lot of n to be played
12611s we're past that halfway point we're
12613s going to be going to the Morris next wbg
12615s looks like they are out but drg still in
12617s the running can they bring it through
12619s they're on that cusp at 70ish points
12622s it's going to be a tough day cuz the bar
12624s keeps moving up higher and higher lines
12626s holding the gatekeeping right now at
12627s 77.4 fpx right there with them at 77.6
12631s 521 they got to be crossing their
12633s fingers they got to hope that all these
12635s teams have a bad day moving forward xcg
12638s same thing 81.3 was looking comfy before
12640s not looking as comfy we'll see if the
12643s rest of these the bottom half of this
12644s Lobby can bring this back but JJ H
12647s having a tough day with their Innovation
12648s jdg doing really really good work off
12651s spawn but they're mid game they're a
12652s little bit struggling of keeping that
12655s consistent going with because just the
12656s ferocity of these third parties coming
12658s out from the likes of K JL uh not b o ug
12663s is just absolutely devastating now W
12665s started out today very very strong but
12668s this is kind of where I've seen them in
12669s the past tempering off now they don't
12672s have to worry 118 points on day one is
12675s absolutely insane so would it be
12677s surprising to me that they're just limit
12678s testing they're trying out different
12680s ideas they're keeping a little bit close
12682s to the heart going into this weekly
12685s finals but I got to say uh keeping your
12687s foot on the gas is really we're seeing a
12689s nice replay from vbb with the F3 coming
12692s flying in having so much fun the Cs are
12695s popping off this this siphon team was
12699s way more scaling with jdg had way more
12701s Loot and they just get upset in this
12704s realm of Yang versus this weiro there's
12707s no way you could have prepared for this
12709s first time I've ever seen this
12711s composition ever put together and on the
12714s outside look just flying around this was
12717s the killing blow they somehow muscle out
12720s the position of forcing these cannon
12722s ball teams out from their safe
12724s Edge BBB their play a little bit earlier
12727s getting that gold armor on and seeing
12730s that the intimidation they turn around
12731s they're like wait a second what is that
12733s a Zion ultimate and then the after
12735s flying in finding these extra kills and
12737s JL just on the low ground arming all the
12741s kills there's just no way you're going
12743s to be able to kill kill this team at
12744s this point so much durability with thei
12747s siphon off inis and the zipping heal now
12751s the question I really have is whether or
12752s not zipping was on V2 or V1
12758s just with Matari all the reason why we
12761s call this siphon is the amount of
12764s healing that it pumps out from the
12766s double support onto the main carry
12768s character and we're seeing vbv coming
12771s out with the 25k damage Sky Force as
12775s well so every time he's picking up a
12777s kill we're getting that full armor reset
12778s we also got rupture Gale with dragon
12782s breath keeping up that ultimate for that
12784s end game and that six MVP it's the
12786s reason why I've been stying this man
12788s ever since uh his first debut in the
12792s first world seeing on on fpx good stuff
12797s coming out from them I just I'm Blown
12799s Away Duncan that uh JL shows us some
12803s cool stuff you know I was I was a little
12804s bummed out with the old patch but now
12806s I'm hyped to see what else we got and
12809s just uh what the future of duraka kind
12812s of uh leaves us cuz now with with z and
12816s a 20% damage reduction and that F3 plus
12819s the skill cool down I just can't imagine
12822s a world where you can burst that
12823s character down now uh she's definitely
12825s going to be played in the future and
12827s we're going to see some craziness moving
12829s forward yeah absolutely it's the kind of
12831s character that if you just give her a
12834s little bit more than what she has she
12837s instantly becomes very very strong and
12839s hard to deal with you know if it's some
12841s of these some characters they have just
12844s like this one thing that if you were to
12846s bff or to just adjust slightly in their
12849s favor they instantly become much much
12852s stronger and Z is one of those
12854s characters that they've always just been
12856s been on the cusp of being extremely good
12858s and extremely viable and now I think but
12863s I think the reason she did receive a
12864s slight buff not that long ago I it was
12868s it was an odd one that sort of
12870s essentially made it so that she could
12872s use like there was there was less
12874s downtime between attacks that it was
12877s like a less endframe lag on after after
12881s certain animations that allows it to
12882s play a little bit more fluidly I think
12885s but uh yeah very exciting but for the
12887s moment we are going to be going over to
12889s an interview perhaps we'll hear a little
12891s bit about this Z who knows but we'll be
12893s back very shortly so don't go
12899s anywhere hi everyone this is jger and
12901s welcome to post game interview and now
12903s I'm standing here with water and let him
12904s say hello to our
12909s [Applause]
12914s audience okay so we know that in the
12916s game two I saw that you guys also Ed the
12919s Arona burst and we know that when the
12922s Arona burst just appear in our matches
12926s and a lot of player just don't like to
12927s use it but now it's like it's changed so
12930s I would like to know why
12968s okay so first of all because the Troll
12969s game we have more players in the matches
12972s and also because aora burst is the
12975s control
12976s range is really wide and it also can
12979s charge in the sky so that's why it have
12982s very high damage nowadays in the Charles
12984s game that's why we all like to use it
12987s okay let's move on to next part answer
12988s for
12993s [Music]
12995s Treasure so you guys can see the
12997s question on screen and if you know the
12999s answer just type them in the chat box
13001s after our player counting 3 2 1 we are
13004s take a screenshot and lucky guys would
13006s be whisper so let's see today's question
13009s which hero did fpx zq water used in the
13013s game
13023s three
13035s okay
13064s for
13068s [Music]
13073s for so I just asked him about in the
13076s latest game so what happens in the final
13078s Circle for their team and he just told
13080s me after he killed one player by the uh
13084s ranged weapon and he just because he
13087s didn't use the automate suddenly and
13090s that's why he just killed by other
13092s players and after that they only rest
13094s two person and they find the find a way
13096s maybe to survive to the end and also his
13099s teammate have found a good place and
13101s also kill someone
13127s [Music]
13135s okay and so after that we know his
13137s teammate just killed not so damaged by
13141s the ther roller and I would like to know
13143s why and he told me because at their
13145s their view they saw that maybe he can
13148s they can just save him up but they
13150s didn't see and focus on that there's a
13153s ther Rola there and just have Dam by th
13156s the roller okay I think all players
13158s prepar and let's start
13168s counting three two one screenshot okay
13172s and please find out the correct
13180s answer yeah the correct answer is B okay
13183s and we know this the last St the regular
13187s game and we because I I would like to
13189s know so are you worried about that you
13191s were qualify for the bi-weekly this week
13194s because we know so for last week maybe a
13196s little bit pity
13227s so now for us we don't have too much
13230s pressure because you know for the spring
13232s split it's really strange it likes the
13236s regular regular matches it's harder than
13239s by weekly final
13247s okay good luck to you and thank you for
13249s today's interview and we will take a
13251s break and be right back
13266s [Music]

13454s [Music]
13460s [Music]
13481s hello and welcome back ladies and
13483s gentlemen we are back and we are going
13486s to be going into our second half of the
13489s day the second half of today's Trio
13492s series the final day before the
13494s bi-weekly finals the last chance for
13497s these teams to qualify into that finals
13499s and I'm joined with joined by Raven the
13503s ugler my good friend uh I'm excited what
13506s do you do you think we're going to see
13508s more spicy things some more some more uh
13512s Z out of vvv perhaps you know we are
13516s going to the fireflies now Firefly map a
13519s lot more uh a lot more alt up time so
13523s who knows you know you know I me it
13526s wouldn't surprise me it wouldn't
13528s surprise me especially because on Morris
13531s you actually have a easier time
13533s surviving in that composition on Hollow
13534s Roth since it's so spread out and
13536s there's a lot of dead space between a
13538s good po that you can kite on and hide
13541s and save yourselves away from uh faia Al
13545s I wouldn't surprise me if JL pops this
13548s out more now technically uh siphon and
13551s Cannonball is a little bit stronger and
13554s I know I know the teams were definitely
13556s caught off guard like that with that um
13558s ug does a really good job of going
13561s around really slowing down the lobby and
13563s something uh that I noticed is that uh
13566s ug was able to pick off a lot of the
13568s cannonballs and as I suspected Z doesn't
13571s really have an answer to yon and Bara
13575s alting on top of her their solution is
13577s basically disengage use the comet to get
13580s out of there uh if anything invest that
13582s matar Al to go in viz and just hard
13584s Grapple out of that situations now a lot
13586s of the time uh these sand Mech teams or
13589s these Cannonball teams do not have
13591s grapple distance so it's very very hard
13593s for them to lock down uh opponents who
13596s choose to run away um theyve really only
13599s do well in hard commitment situations
13601s inside Yang and as a Zone closes an
13604s endgame so really really cool stuff from
13607s JL all of the reasons of why they were
13609s successful kind of checks out I saw the
13611s theory as soon as I saw it I was like
13613s wait a second jl's cooking something we
13615s got chefs in the kitchen we got a
13617s gourmet meal served to us game three and
13621s not only does it do well it actually
13623s MVPs the round and we see how it's
13626s played in all instances off spawn uh
13629s transitioning to that mid game Yang uh
13632s post Yang inside Yang and they do such a
13636s great job of beating out uh I believe it
13640s was jdg on the siphon that Sion team had
13643s double purple armor too so it was really
13645s tested versus one of the hardest and
13648s strongest compositions right now now you
13651s know what I think it was I think it was
13652s the dragon RAR so Dragon yeah because so
13657s I think it was the the zipping had the
13659s dragon roll one thing I think he just
13661s managed to catch them off guard with it
13664s even though they had that armor
13665s Advantage I think maybe that was what
13667s made it actually possible you know he
13670s was able to buy time with it he was able
13672s to lock a player down and it just I
13675s think it may have been the the factor
13676s that carried the fight you know I think
13678s it was definitely possible if they it
13681s would have definitely been possible even
13682s without the Dragon Roll but they would
13683s have had to have equal armor you know
13685s they wouldn't I don't think they would
13686s have come out on top if they didn't have
13688s it I don't
13689s think yeah I think with the the temo we
13692s see vvv barely get out of that situation
13695s the the mud in the wall that slow the
13697s ability to burst him like it's
13699s definitely really threading the needle
13702s but if you stack F1 onto him if you sack
13705s uh plus the mataro all he has to do is
13707s get a couple hits it maybe if he gets
13708s the F3 off that's enough to heal him
13711s back up to full on top of the fact that
13714s he is in viz so you don't really know
13716s what he's doing on Z I think that's a
13719s big component of the composition um
13721s still moving forward I still would like
13723s to see what happens when they face
13725s against Cannonball inside realov does
13727s the comp just fall over and they just
13730s lose uh cuz like I said stars align OU
13733s was going around picking off all the
13734s cannon balls they were having a stellar
13737s game on their Attack on Titan that Viper
13741s wuen uh Tessa especially with you on the
13743s wuen he's basically a frontlining DPS on
13747s the wuen keeping them safe and keeping
13749s them Super Active now unfortunately in
13751s that end game ug is not able to close it
13753s out not really the best type of
13755s situation for wuen teams the only
13757s situation where wuen teams are able to
13759s kind of Thrive is high tree situations
13762s where Wen Port can come up on top they
13764s can buy time and hold space up high and
13767s then come down and try to make
13769s assassination plays as Titans D
13772s transform but uh moving forward first
13775s Firefly day let's see if we still get
13777s some spiciness we saw a little bit of
13779s sand Ma on Hollow rooth is anyone or do
13782s we have any more chefs in the league as
13785s all I'm saying so last time we're
13787s playing on this meta I want the new meal
13790s I want this uh the specialty menu get
13793s surprise me guys the secret sauce give
13797s me that secret sauce give me the
13799s spiciness I wanted extra
13802s sauce I don't know if I want it par hot
13806s that's a little too hot for me we need
13807s to what you that's too
13810s spicy too spicy now you got to go spicy
13814s you got to go hard with you go home you
13816s got to get you got to get that spicy hot
13819s pot big
13820s thg we we tried I miss Hott with the pig
13824s I miss Hot Pot oh my God Hot Pot in
13828s China guys if you if you ever go to
13830s China you have to have Hot Pot you have
13832s to have the spicy one even if you're not
13834s all that into spicy food you have to try
13836s it especially if you go to changu changu
13840s oh my God oh my God it is Godlike but uh
13845s back to Nora back to Nora I'm uh very
13849s very hopeful that we see something
13851s interesting coming out in the in these
13854s next three games it doesn't seem all
13857s that unlikely it's not impossible
13859s because there is a lot there's quite a
13861s few of these teams that have already
13862s qualified and granted they want to get
13865s as many points as they can to take them
13866s forward into the bi-weekly final as you
13869s take a percentage I think you said 9% of
13871s the points into the bi-weekly finals
13874s with you so they do want to get as many
13875s points as possible however there are
13877s some teams that definitely can get away
13879s with limit testing you know live to
13881s limit tests boys live to limit test you
13884s just get in there try it out see how it
13886s goes you know it's possible that certain
13889s things could just actually be very very
13892s strong and no one's really thought to go
13894s for it at like this zic we see it do so
13898s so well securing that mvp yeah we had ug
13902s doing extremely well as uh alongside but
13905s they didn't come out MVP and JL just did
13908s an extremely good job of running that
13910s end zone getting those pickups with the
13913s Z with the cannon with that F3 flying
13917s in just going crazy and having a good
13920s time so not going to lie I think we
13923s might see something a little interesting
13925s but probably not the terer no matter how
13928s much uh how much I wanted to happen
13931s probably not the
13933s tarium yeah but I think something like
13936s the zai or potentially AOS or something
13939s along those lines could rear its head
13943s going into these next three games you
13944s know AOS I think is one of those
13946s characters as well that also can do
13948s extremely well in trios it just needs
13951s that comp it needs the right comp to
13953s really do to really do what it what I I
13956s believe it can do you know you got the
13958s pounces you got loads of pressure you
13960s got those tiger grabs with the V2 if you
13963s want to go V2 or if you V1 you got that
13966s triple tiger um pounce attack that just
13970s that staggers everything that as of
13973s recently although it's not the patch
13975s they're playing on did get buffed so
13977s they might be able they might they might
13979s be prepping it for next week and might
13981s try it out this week just for the hell
13982s of it you know who knows so I don't know
13985s what do you think would if if if not the
13987s Z what do you think could come out what
13990s spiciness do you think we might see
13992s Ren um considering it's Firefly days um
13998s the [ __ ] most spiciness we get is a
13999s Destina variation of Cannonball ice bitc
14002s comp uh that Justina uan um Yodo is
14006s because of the burst potential off spawn
14008s in mid game and and all the Yang
14011s situations like I was saying before it's
14013s very tough for the slow composition
14015s we're seeing that phase one all the
14016s siphon still coming out the karumi
14018s variations coming out uh they're very
14020s very slow because they a lot of the
14022s times they're running full discount they
14023s don't have grapple distance so it's hard
14025s for them to get away and uh the The Ice
14027s Pick with that justtina is able to close
14030s it out so if any of these compositions
14032s in the Yang depletion situations the mid
14034s game invest uh you see these just Cenas
14037s come in and dive and close it out and
14040s like what happening before we're seeing
14042s a lot more cannon ball show up now first
14045s by-weekly Cannonball didn't have a
14047s strong showing it was actually third
14049s pick most of the time uh and then second
14052s by-weekly I felt like it definitely
14054s overperformed more than siphon now we're
14056s seeing it even in phase two being picked
14059s some of these
14061s uh teams feeling very very comfortable
14064s on that nice slow methodical play this
14066s kind of modern day uh Transformers on
14070s the cannon ball there's a lot of
14071s examples uh going around right now so
14074s most of it is iron out we're still
14076s seeing um wolves and jdg going on that
14081s Viper team now phase three pretty much
14083s everything is available
14085s with the exception of siphon for these
14088s guys now we are on game four we only are
14091s limited we are limited by nine character
14094s points so now the 10i and zipping are
14096s worth character points so your pick here
14098s in phase three is going to be critical
14101s and generally when you go into a
14103s tournament you kind of know what you're
14104s going to pick game 1 2 3 4 5 and six but
14107s because of the phasing this mixes you up
14109s so you have to know three scenarios uh
14111s what you don't factor in is when a
14113s team's kind of go against the Grain and
14116s then you have the opportunity to maybe
14118s go your comfort pick again uh there's
14120s kind of a Tempo that comes to these
14121s tournaments six rounds you want to stay
14123s in Tempo you want no really surprises
14125s you just want everything to go according
14127s to plan so the question is do you take
14130s an opening when uh a better composition
14133s kind of opens up on the map that and the
14136s round that you don't really expect it on
14139s so going into game four we're past that
14143s halfway point there still a lot of nraa
14146s to be played faster nraa will be on deck
14149s we got fireflies everywhere on Morris we
14151s got a lot of kiting potential so we're
14153s going to see the lobby thin out a lot
14156s more not as many stacked end games
14159s because of the ability for these team to
14161s take risks with more risks comes more
14164s reward but at what cost it means the
14167s lobbies are smaller uh but you love to
14170s see this a lot of rules changing for
14172s this faster action less camping less
14175s positional game and more fighting
14179s Duncan indeed I still can't get over the
14182s fact that we are seeing F3 uian being
14185s picked up a
14187s lot do you remember when you and I
14190s talked about it a while ago like it was
14192s a while ago we talked about F3 uan and
14195s you just telling me nah that's just
14196s troll bro it's just grief and now
14199s finally it's getting picked up you know
14201s times change things change and finally
14204s teams are opting to go down team that's
14208s interesting Cannonball it's just that
14211s the damage reduction on the uan is
14213s absolutely insane and when teams are
14215s going with these heavy burst strategies
14217s it was a good counter to the anti-burst
14220s now still it weakens you in the the
14223s outer Battle Royale it also forces Yan
14225s into a very uncomfortable position that
14227s he's basically all utility when the
14230s traditionally Yan used to be a DPS
14232s character used to be frontlining now
14234s he's basically
14235s backline yeah yeah no just and then just
14238s looking to jump in with the peel you
14240s know acting as that sort of support
14242s character as opposed to the position one
14246s uh the F3 you it's for those of you who
14248s don't know what it does if you
14250s essentially it's a a a jump forward
14253s where you slam down in front of you and
14256s anybody who's hit by the AOE of the
14259s ability will have their damage cut in
14262s half essentially like their damage will
14264s be reduced by 40 50% or something along
14267s those lines and it does exactly as you
14270s said it it's a good counter into those
14272s Rush down burst comps that look to just
14275s one-hot you as quickly as possible and
14278s if you're playing in that far back
14281s position where your teammate is taking
14283s that position one and you see the enemy
14286s team look to immediately engage onto
14288s said teammate you can jump in with that
14291s F3 cut the damage down by half and
14295s immediately the fight is isn't as isn't
14298s as unwinable you know if if your if your
14301s teammate gets gets like if the enemy
14304s team's trying to burst down one of your
14305s one of your teammates it can be quite
14308s difficult to prevent it from happening
14309s considering the amount of burst that
14311s we're seeing in the current meta in in
14314s this environment teams are just able to
14316s completely delete you off the face of
14319s the planet you know we saw vvv just get
14321s absolutely deleted in his Z last game
14325s you know it's it's like thing you can
14328s disappear very fast time to kill is uh
14331s was is very low something that is also
14334s going to be changing as we move into
14336s next week as the new patch is going to
14338s be active for these teams Everybody's
14341s Health pool essentially got expanded the
14346s uh so Shield essentially got a buff
14349s where a white armor instead of it being
14353s 500 armor is now 600 7 uh 750 armor was
14358s your blue armor before and now it's 900
14360s Etc and each sort of little chunk of
14364s Shield is now 300 Shield so time to kill
14368s is going down next patch however because
14371s of all these glyphs and all of these
14373s changes it might end up being kind of
14376s the same to some extent however we also
14378s have the damage reduction from the
14379s glyphs coming in as well making certain
14382s characters just unkillable you know you
14384s know we got the zipping being zipping
14386s Tessa all these characters being a
14388s manace right now on live servers you
14392s know so I don't know who knows who who
14394s who knows next week things are going to
14397s change drastically and I extremely
14398s excited to see what happens the shop
14401s being overhauled entirely is probably
14403s one of the biggest things though or do
14405s you think it's going to be do you think
14406s it's going to change all that much in
14409s terms of Team objectives r i mean now
14413s you you can't you can't just roll Jades
14415s for 200 2,000 dark tide points anymore
14419s now it's way more expensive yeah I think
14421s we're we're moving to an arrow that I I
14423s thought the competitive seem needed less
14425s RNG and more deliberate choices that
14428s really separates people as far as
14430s strategies it looks more like what I
14433s expected in Naga like League of Legends
14434s or DOTA where you're trying to figure
14436s out what your build or is going to be
14438s and how you're going to invest now off
14439s spawn you're going to be able to
14440s transition to that armor and weapon uh
14443s generally you're not going to get hit by
14444s random Jade of destiny that just
14446s completely snowballs out of control so a
14448s lot more skill is going to be involved
14450s especially with the eight round change
14452s and the MVP as well as uh the soul Bloom
14456s change uh two minute Soul blooms instead
14459s of uh infinite Soul blooms makes going
14461s into the realm of Yang a lot riskier so
14464s if you are one of the strongest teams
14467s you have to weigh the pros and cons and
14469s going and when you go in why you go in
14471s so a lot more counter statting a lot
14473s more uh tactics coming out to the coach
14476s especially with the phasing mixing in
14478s when people are playing what on What map
14480s it's a lot to uh think for for just like
14483s an in-game leader you definitely need
14485s someone out of game to help tactically
14488s to organize all the different situations
14490s to find consisten consistency in it now
14493s a lot of people have gripes against
14495s Battle Royal saying whether or not uh it
14497s can be consistent that you don't know
14499s who you're fighting against and this is
14500s just the furthest from the truth in many
14502s other games uh the same TI one Pros have
14505s been at the top and even in the Rocka
14507s pro league most of the top five teams
14509s who have dominated that the GG the xcg
14512s KLA
14514s um uh te that domination has been there
14519s for since
14521s forever
14523s now the one like dark horse that kind of
14526s comes out of nowhere every single world
14527s is definitely J team and that's what
14529s keeps exciting about um a lot of the
14532s world is that anyone can win on that day
14535s um a lot of the times we get a new patch
14538s it's very volatile sometimes new maps
14540s sometimes like gamebreaking stuff like
14542s RL Yang being added but Morris getting
14544s added and you see that that opportunity
14547s that chaos allows new talent to find
14549s their footing to find uh their way up
14553s but you keep seeing over and over again
14555s the work ethic of these top teams
14557s finding a ways to consistently win so is
14560s Battle Royale random uh to a certain
14562s degree and I would say the future of
14563s nraa is is definitely getting be more
14565s consistent and I would say say the skill
14567s ceiling is actually uh increasing rather
14572s then decreasing in this mode where
14573s there's less RNG uh so it's a good time
14576s for everyone competing and even better
14579s for newer players there's still a chance
14581s for you guys to get in there we're still
14582s going to get the new map this year uh
14584s there's still another character around
14587s the corner and Matari and wuen are going
14589s to be reworked so we're basically going
14591s to have a brand new nraa by the end of
14593s this year with the new patch the new
14595s glyphs and everything I like all the
14597s changes uh having almost 10,000 hours in
14599s the game I'm loving everything that's
14601s changed somehow nraa still finds a way
14603s to keep this fresh even in the pro
14606s league seeing JL coming out with the ey
14608s even though I personally hate fighting
14610s against that character it's just it's
14612s always her turn she's just hitting you
14614s it's really hard to dodge especially
14616s unlike other characters she can vary her
14618s timings and sit on top of you uh she
14620s also has true comos and the big thing is
14622s she can actually Parry you the only
14624s thing I can imagine worse than that is
14625s somehow hottie became meta where hotti
14628s flying around swooping down on you
14630s keeping the pressure on you uh now I'm
14633s like really considering else who knows
14636s hard's getting changes too bro he's
14638s getting changes with Matari zipping
14640s buffing you anything is possible to the
14642s mood even maybe that tar Duncan that
14644s that's that's one thing that I saw
14646s double F possibly can keep you alive
14648s keep you active getting in the fight but
14650s still uh the fair on Yodo traditional
14652s Transformers shutting down a lot of that
14654s four fun that four fun composition but
14658s when the Transformers are away the four
14661s fun Gamers will play is what I say and
14663s right now Mon's extinct so there's a lot
14666s of possibilities when it comes to
14668s maneuvering around and finding these new
14670s compositions especially since a lot of
14672s the Vipers are running that F3 V3 which
14675s uh simplifies a ton of the execution for
14678s a little bit more burst on their end uh
14680s but I still think uh probably in the
14683s future with this new adjustment uh
14685s silence will be coming in to a factor
14687s cuz Matari being able to line a sight
14689s pop that invisible invisibility versus
14692s V3 Viper is really really strong but if
14695s you're looking to kick that Matari now
14697s that composition can't be so willly
14699s neilly can't just go in and know that
14700s they hard counter you it's more of a
14702s soft counter at that point they still
14704s have to
14705s play yeah no absolutely I think one of
14709s the one of the big things though that
14712s still needs to be considered even though
14714s we don't have the Monk and stuff like
14716s that we do have the uan you know he's
14718s still a big factor you know and that's
14720s probably that's the main reason why vvv
14722s with Z can't really do anything against
14724s Cannonball you know so I don't know what
14728s I mean certain characters can deal with
14730s youan pretty well like hardi even even
14732s though the funny thing is you mentioned
14733s hardi he can actually stagger Yan when
14736s he's in his ultimate so who knows hardi
14740s Z Matari goofiness who know who knows I
14744s don't know it's uh do you think hottie
14746s will ever come in uh it looks like we're
14750s having some um some tech diffic
14752s difficulty so we're going to be taking a
14753s a short break as they figure things out
14756s after that short break though I will
14758s answer your question Duncan but we will
14759s be right back after this short

15338s and we are back ladies and
15341s gentlemen Tech issues it happens to
15344s everybody it's uh it is what it is some
15347s uh equipment issues unfortunately but we
15350s are back now we're going to be going
15351s into our second half of the day
15353s reasonably shortly but back to what we
15356s were talking about before the break
15358s Raven do you think that hardi could ever
15361s really squeeze his way into trios here
15364s you know his ultimate is can be rather
15367s obnoxious at times and can deal with
15369s things like Yuan but do you think it's
15371s actually feasible
15374s I think with his current speed it's just
15376s too hard mainly because teada counters
15379s him and then with all the fairs with all
15381s the monks everyone here is top tier
15384s they're at the highest skill level right
15386s so how gets a lot of his value that you
15389s you can't really hit them in midair but
15392s these good players they're sitting there
15394s they're practicing every single day they
15395s can find the hits and with the the
15397s gutted of hottie they just slowed him
15399s down so much he already could barely um
15404s Target a really really skilled player as
15405s far as holding them down Landing those
15407s consistent gold attacks now if they
15409s change something in this kit that
15411s allowed him to maintain that pressure
15414s either reducing the time between attacks
15416s or increasing his damage cuz they nerfed
15419s his damage they also slowed him down I
15421s don't see a world where hottie really
15424s comes back but I know nraa always finds
15426s a way to to rebalance things uh they do
15429s a really good job of balancing different
15430s characters and bringing them back into
15432s meta uh it would be interesting I think
15434s in nvpl to see a bunch of flying hatties
15437s everywhere in trios especially like in
15440s solos it's kind of like ah Odie but in
15443s Trio seeing it being utilized with some
15446s type of anti-air I still think in the
15449s future nraa could expand mechanically to
15452s having more aerial attacks I think some
15454s of the most beautiful gameplay you can
15456s see in nraa is a lot of that highflying
15459s action it's the closest thing that I've
15460s ever seen to attack on Titan and I would
15462s like to like build on that idea but
15464s that's the only way I really see Hottie
15465s being utilized as a a realistic pick uh
15469s in an optimal fashion not just a for fun
15472s gaming
15474s mode yeah exactly I mean it's it I think
15477s that it's there's just so much that's
15481s not been discovered yet I feel like we
15483s Cannonball came in out of nowhere for
15486s Jacob last year and th those characters
15490s had been like been playable is those
15492s character had been in the game for so
15494s long but nobody had thought to combine
15497s those three specific characters and
15500s obviously the meta allows for certain
15503s things to be playable at times so it's
15506s possible that there's a Hardy comp out
15507s there that just needs a specific meta
15510s for it to be viable but I think that it
15513s it probably exists there's probably
15515s something out there that would would
15517s allow it to to come in and actually do
15520s very well you know Hardy the the amount
15523s of damage and the the peel is is pretty
15527s huge in in a lot of situations but we're
15529s heading right on in to our game number
15532s four ug scrapping it out versus klaa you
15538s and Q GG we're in a bit of a One V one
15540s there throwing hands using the fists
15543s trying to create an opening trying to
15546s get the the hanga that was on the ground
15548s one of them finally does and they do go
15551s down but immediately going back on over
15554s to fpx and Alliance fighting it out
15557s Alliance revenge on the back foot trying
15559s to disengage goes for the double jump
15562s into grapple dong Shing throwing those
15564s fan rmbs left and right the double hold
15567s Parry coming out onto water water living
15570s on just a sliver of Health he's still
15573s alive trying to run away dong Shing
15576s trying to peel goes for the jump Harry
15578s but unfortunately he does not get the
15580s timing and Alliance are going to be able
15582s to take fpx at the start of the game and
15586s now fpx they're in a bit of a precarious
15588s situation they're right on the edge of
15592s qualification they need to either get
15595s further up the leaderboard or just keep
15598s those below them exactly where they are
15601s you know te g g drg they're all trying
15605s to get into that qualification spot
15607s speaking of drg we have them fighting
15610s against
15611s jdg here member already down two and
15615s three three MERS of drg all of them
15620s wiped out by jdg only committing one
15624s Tessa Al and the Viper V3 doing so much
15627s and this is why we've seen the Viper V3
15630s come out and being and get a lot of play
15633s recently cuz it just you you just you
15635s just prevent everyone from being able to
15637s use anything he's just no one can use
15639s their abilities no
15641s one interesting position position here
15643s we actually have teada casting the moon
15646s B and zipping is going to get taken down
15648s but teada with Tami still a ton of
15650s pressure going to be popping out now
15652s kada didn't have Al right here so it
15654s does make sense for zipping to be on the
15656s background but she does get instantly
15657s blowed up before she can pop for v2 the
15659s moon Bane is going to come down um
15663s jjh with the Viper with the purple armor
15667s going to be big chilling right now they
15669s get their disengage and K does get the
15671s loot to themselves a big critical point
15674s we saw K they are the moon Bane Masters
15678s even at Worlds they just always have
15680s Moon Bane on their deck but first te
15682s versus jdd jdd been having a stellar day
15685s staying aggressive all the time but
15686s unfortunately for them they are going to
15688s get Triple Tesla all forcing out the
15690s wuen port but it's going to the the
15691s tether is going to reveal their position
15693s they do get stagger and te is able to
15695s close the distance no Al to their name
15697s though no ult on Tessa either so it's
15699s going to be a full neutral reset and it
15701s looks like te doesn't want to overcommit
15703s uh willing to back off here now let jdg
15707s recover and Firefly day this evening day
15709s looks like jdg is going to make their
15710s way to find some fir voice but down in
15712s mind we're going to get JL versus ewg
15715s ewg's member XG is going to get taken
15719s down Fong as well going to take down 14
15722s JL running through and claiming mind to
15725s themselves
15727s two siphon teams able to claim their
15730s locations and scale up in the situations
15732s now J vbb does have the purple armor but
15735s if you look at his ultimate at the
15736s bottom it is still white they want to
15738s make their way up to Gold Al ideally if
15742s you get to gold Al uh in first Yang you
15746s are good to go to win it oh my goodness
15749s but fpx triple purple armor and purple
15753s weapon all of those players on uh cannon
15757s ball do benefit Yodo yusan Faria all
15760s scale up in damage by having higher
15762s weapon Rarity and the armor as well
15765s bigger armor gives you more Mech armor
15769s going into it now Alliance all the way
15773s in the north still blue armor a big
15776s threat for siphon as long as you can get
15778s to that blue armor Point uh it really
15781s depends on what your Jades are you can
15782s have purple armor with no Jades I would
15784s take blue armor with full Jades all day
15787s we're getting GG as well known for the
15790s macro purple armor already on the f
15793s area big telling sign that Faria is one
15796s of the focus fire targets for Cannonball
15798s one of the weak points part of the wind
15800s condition it looks like Alliance is
15801s going to take a lot of damage Alliance
15803s bow on the teada one of the PRI targets
15806s for this canonball Yodo lxm staying on
15808s top of him looking for that execution
15810s looking for that slam he's not able to
15812s get it takes up too much damage he's
15813s forced to pop his Yoda wall defensively
15815s Yan doing his best to connect to a
15817s Target good job by zipping dodging this
15820s burst completely Alli Revenge doing Gods
15823s work avoiding all of this damage but
15825s still Yan with the nice Tech Chase able
15828s to get this slam now Revenge no Dodges
15830s to his name he's going to double jump
15831s away fly to the trees the counter to Yan
15834s trees Alliance bow going for a ride
15836s though getting juggled by the turret and
15839s the shots alexm is going to take him
15840s down now revenge and his teammate have a
15844s decision here do we keep fighting it out
15845s it looks like the disengage is called
15847s drg with the third party coming in hot
15851s no uh te allall to his name but no need
15854s Alliance Lane is going to get taken down
15857s now jdg as well a fourth and fifth party
15860s coming in hot now GG hot trying to get
15864s away from this situation using all their
15866s ultimates unfortunately in the north an
15870s unlikely situation where this location
15872s generally very very safe not many teams
15875s and we're seeing this counterplay like I
15878s was saying before Duncan everyone's
15880s hunting path getting scouted out and
15882s teams finding nice third party some
15884s fourth parties and getting these great
15886s timing attacks on rotation yeah
15888s absolutely this is something that has
15890s been talked about a lot something that
15892s you've talked about a considerable
15894s amount is these hunting and looting PS
15897s like these teams not only do they
15899s prepare themselves for just sort of
15902s individual scenarios and that sort of
15904s thing but they prepare themselves by
15906s trying to figure out other teams hunting
15908s pods and other teams loot Parts figuring
15911s out their rotations figuring out when
15914s certain teams are going to be
15916s where just by just by playing against
15920s them so much in scrims playing against
15921s them so much in these mbpl by weekly
15924s games and creating opportunities for
15928s themselves without the without the enemy
15931s team really knowing if it's if it's
15933s going to happen one game or another you
15935s know a team could very easily be just be
15938s waiting somewhere waiting to see if uh
15942s if if they if the their intelligence is
15945s correct you know like they uh they've
15947s they've scouted out that this certain
15949s team likes to do this specific rout and
15952s waiting to see if they can find an
15953s opening find that third party
15955s opportunity and it also speaks to how
15958s much like how difficult it actually can
15960s be and
15962s how a lot of people in the past have
15965s always thought that third partying it's
15966s just sort of like oh it's just easy you
15968s just see a fight are you lucky you just
15970s got to you got a free third parties blah
15972s blah blah but finding third party
15975s opportunities is a lot harder than
15976s people realize finding the correct
15979s timing and also engaging in the correct
15982s way is not easy you know you can try
15986s third party two two pro teams and just
15989s instantly get bodied you they just turn
15992s on you or you you get caught in the
15995s middle of all this like this uh this
15997s Crossfire between those teams and you
15999s can find yourself actually being the
16001s team that gets hunted down so it's not
16004s easy and finding those timings creating
16007s those opportunities for yourself is what
16009s makes a lot of these teams really really
16011s good and really hard to uh hard to deal
16014s with but we're going to be going into
16016s our first set of Realms of Yang we have
16020s K waiting to see if they will find
16023s themselves matched by another team few
16027s these teams lurking outside this realm
16029s of Yang portal trying to decide if they
16032s want to commit for it or not if they uh
16036s are going to get griefed on Entry fpx do
16039s manage to get themselves a spot inside
16042s realm of Yang facing off against K now
16045s two members of K do have blue armor but
16048s they do have Jades they have all their
16050s Jade slots unlocked they have quite a
16052s few decent Jades so it's not it's not a
16055s done fight just yet depends how this
16058s plays out if K taking to the skies but Q
16061s GG getting silence and getting
16063s absolutely obliterated almost just being
16067s instantly deleted but thankfully his
16069s zipping is there to keep him alive the
16072s zipping ultimate p uh proc the the F1
16075s coming in as well giving him that damage
16077s reduction allowing him to find the time
16079s to use his ultimate and stay on his feet
16082s the fer all in play here trying to get
16084s value the Yuan as well trying to create
16087s openings for his team dong Shing though
16089s he's out of that F all he's on the run
16091s now he has no no armor and very little
16093s Health to play with Q is trying to find
16097s him the F2 in the air managing to buy
16100s himself just a little bit more time but
16101s 17s is going to be quick on that bow
16104s shot catching him on that grapple
16106s attempt and now Yan in the 1 V2 there
16109s trying to stay alive but unfortunately
16112s not able to do so and K is just a matter
16115s of cleaning up this fight a beautiful
16117s double Parry coming in from water I have
16119s to say though is not much more that he
16122s can two after that one you get the
16124s double Parry but you're not on the deada
16126s you're not you're not really in a
16127s position to actually one V3 here and
16130s that is uh that is all she wrote for
16132s that team and K even though they had the
16134s two blue armors do come out on top here
16137s as you said before you'd much rather
16139s have blue armor and Jades than purple
16141s armor and no Jades and I completely
16143s agree you uh you know I mean the
16147s difference between blue armor and purple
16148s armor is only 250 you know it's not that
16152s much in the grand scheme of things and
16154s if you are trading that for a whole
16156s bunch of Jades I definitely go for the
16158s bunch of Jades you know Jades win games
16160s Jades of Destiny as like to go the yeah
16164s it's CRA It's Crazy K actually pulls a a
16167s wild play right there to is gonna go
16169s down and zipping comes in with a hero
16171s play and drops her armor for him to swap
16173s surv survives the burst really really
16176s dicey play good uh swap but it's not
16180s enough zipping able to tank the damage
16182s and able to fade away just because when
16184s teada is not being pressured he's going
16186s to get more value off each shove so
16188s something to incorporate into gameplay
16191s really really tricky stuff though that's
16192s really really tough to do cuz
16194s technically if your enemy sees you drop
16196s the armor they could just pick up the
16197s armor instead so counter play can be
16200s involved with the armor drop
16202s situation still really really cool stuff
16204s from them uh you never saw armor drops
16207s outside of Wen Port before a lot of
16209s fights going down and a lot and this is
16211s that discipline play I was saying like
16212s after this worlds I feel like ncka is
16214s going to go up everyone's playing these
16215s no Al zones perfectly red PFF is going
16217s to come down uh no Al situation coming
16220s but the the no all comes out at the last
16223s second and now V3 is going to be engaged
16225s a burst coming out from wolves K trying
16226s to find this hit here B2 from the
16229s zipping being invested Teo is holding on
16230s to his ultimate he's going to get
16231s juggled 100 to zero here ug coming in
16234s with a third party but he's still has V2
16237s up so technically will te invest into
16240s this or will they hold ultimate you on
16242s the and only he popped ultimate instead
16245s the te all is coming out and you see the
16247s offensive cap coming out from ugu
16251s getting tons of work here tons of value
16253s off each of shs Yoda what's going to be
16255s coming on everyone's piling in right now
16257s ug's SS thei under a ton of pressure but
16260s 's doing his best job to dictate the
16262s pacing of this third party situation
16265s stopping the usan from creating any
16267s pressure you doing an excellent job
16271s finding the opening here but the FAL ma
16272s is going to come out he has only one
16274s more shove to his name trying to keep
16276s his team alive trying to find this last
16278s hit the king taking a massive amount of
16280s damage on the zip and trying to stay
16281s alive now the disengage is going to be
16283s called they only have 36 seconds on
16285s their buff they either need to die here
16287s or get out looks like SS is going to get
16289s taken out by this Fara will you end up
16292s going down or fighting this he has to be
16294s careful right now 24 seconds on this
16297s buff he's looking for a kill he does
16299s find a kill on to Dong King
16303s inside the building now you chilling
16305s slurping up the loot fpx is getting
16307s picked apart by JL and wolves with the
16309s third party coming in hot youu is going
16312s to go down with that last 10 seconds
16314s left close close call by him but it
16316s looks like ug is going to be able to
16317s reset up this six kills but klaa and jgg
16321s having a massive game right now with 10
16324s kills each woo that's a lot of kills
16328s baby we're not even halfway we're about
16330s hting that halfway point in the round WG
16332s with the Yoda wall is going to be
16333s looking for
16335s K connecting to 17s but 17s able to kite
16339s out of distance and wolves coming in
16341s nonstop third party action going in the
16343s middle everyone has to be really really
16345s careful right now but wolves piling in
16348s blood is in the air these wolves are
16351s hungry 17s trying his best to survive
16355s fighting off the pressure from those
16357s wolves the all coming down from ewg just
16361s too much pressure coming out from the
16363s lobby and K is going to get deleted and
16365s wolves is going to make a way like
16368s Bandits indeed they're going to go back
16371s into the woods happy with their kill
16374s happy with the hunt and wolves also
16377s another team doing extremely well
16378s sitting on seven eliminations this game
16381s JL sitting on six ewg unfortunately
16385s they've only managed to find that one
16386s kill that they just picked up with that
16388s FC but they really need to try and step
16391s it up here they unfortunately after the
16394s first game where they secured what was
16396s it 18.6 points in the first game they've
16400s not they've not really managed to get
16402s all that many more points uh in game
16405s number two and three I think it was less
16406s than 10 that they've manage to get in
16409s those two games so they really need to
16411s make something happen in this game and
16413s moving forward if they have if they're
16415s going to have any chance of qualifying
16417s into the bi-weekly final again now we're
16420s going into the real of Yang a team going
16422s in uncontested for the moment it's
16425s possible that that could change at the
16426s moment's notice JL do find the pickup on
16430s their teammate one Fang been taken down
16434s been resed and now able to go and loot
16437s back up finding that purple armor jjh
16440s Godly out on his Lonesome a lonely blue
16445s armored Tessa is likely going to get
16448s found out and here it is the team drg on
16452s the hunt they've spotted him out this is
16455s one of those places where you can kite
16457s for a considerable amount of time you
16459s can just constantly Loop people around
16462s these caves in these Caverns however if
16465s the RG is uh is smart about it they can
16469s cut off the exits and just close in on
16471s him but I think the main thing stopping
16474s them from doing that right now is ewg
16477s coming in seeing the chase down and
16480s cutting it down going to potentially try
16483s and find a kill for themselves however
16485s I'm not sure if they actually have info
16488s on where this player has gone and drg
16490s they're just going to leave it for the
16492s moment they're going to go into the into
16494s the desert into the open Plains
16496s potentially look to go shopping find
16498s themselves some Jades from the shop ug I
16502s think they did go uncontested in the
16504s realm of Yang here sitting on seven
16506s eliminations with that Mystic might buff
16509s they're looking to go to I think they're
16512s going towards this moris blessing here
16514s they spot out Alliance I can only see
16516s two members alive or two members in
16518s front of them for the moment but they do
16520s have three members
16521s alive they managed to pick up this
16523s purple armor for themselves as well as
16526s this white Tiger's prowess
16528s buff pretty solid buff but I'm not sure
16531s how strong it actually is in trios I've
16535s it it can definitely be good but
16538s considering that the only real bonus
16539s that you get uh the majority of the time
16543s is the passive
16544s healing it's not the best trios buff
16548s unfortunately it does do very well in
16549s solos for specific characters but trios
16553s can be hard to find all that much value
16556s from it but godl again the lonely Tessa
16559s has been spotted out by a team Alliance
16561s trying to lock him down forcing out the
16563s ultimate he does find an armor swap here
16565s but it's only blue might only buy him
16568s just a little bit more time he's kiting
16570s around this building there's another
16571s team as well the Wisp lands though and
16574s the alliance do pick up another kill but
16577s that that is actually um a question
16579s Raven when it comes to White Tiger
16581s prowers do you think there's any there's
16583s any real reason to pick it up in trios
16585s as opposed to Mystic might for example
16587s in the realm of Yang because Mystic
16589s might it gives you that the the
16591s information it allows you to find those
16594s those solo players lurking at the edge
16595s of the map do you think it's ever worth
16597s it I feel like if you're looking to be
16600s aggressive uh and take a bigger risk
16603s then white tiger buff does come off a
16606s little bit better cuz it gives you a lot
16607s more sustain also it sets you up for the
16609s end game so it's a really really big
16611s greed play m m is definitely more
16613s conservative play that you're able to
16615s scout out teammates coming over now
16616s we're going to get another pleasure it's
16617s always a pleasure to see ug's you going
16619s at it especially versus JL two of the
16622s best dueling teams going out in it looks
16623s like you on the outside controlling the
16624s Temple of the fight looking for those
16626s shoves Fong going for a ride good peel
16629s coming out from youu
16632s you finding the kill onto Farm but it's
16634s a 2v2 situation but again you and his
16637s teammate taking it down SS holding him
16641s down you finishing up with the fight
16643s uppercuts going to come down toada in a
16645s tough position no more plays Left good
16648s flame coming out from you and ug just
16651s showing why they are the siphon team to
16654s be JL no slouch when it comes to this
16657s siphon mirror uh ug has been non-stop
16661s impressive me they they have the edge it
16663s seems like on everyone when it comes to
16666s this raw duel and I and I don't believe
16669s ug had this pressure before I just
16672s believe that you with his ability to
16676s quickly react to situations to
16677s mechanically perfect a lot of situations
16680s I'm surprised you isn't a solo player I
16683s feel like if he had more of an ego if he
16685s was a more confident player he probably
16688s been really successful in solos as well
16689s after meeting uh you in person he's
16693s actually a really really humble and shy
16695s guy really thought that no one thought
16697s much of him and I I had the uh the
16699s pleasure of sharing with him that most
16702s of us in the Western World actually
16703s think he was the best wo and little did
16706s I know that my man was cracked at every
16709s single character that he plays and we're
16711s seeing him carry ug to new heights as
16714s well as ug picking up Mike in solos ug
16717s just a force to be reckoned with both in
16720s solos and trius trios this nvpl season
16724s now looking over at wolves looking
16726s really really stack this
16729s team proven me wrong a little bit
16732s inconsistent will they be able to show
16734s up for this weekly finals we are in a
16737s third weekly finals will they be able to
16739s keep this momentum because again this is
16742s qualifiers a lot of these teams have
16743s been here over and over again we see the
16746s same teams dominating the situations for
16748s the first time in a long time we're
16750s seeing wolves up there
16752s as well into the top five this season
16755s can they keep it up though now looking
16757s at the Jades and everything going in the
16761s later half and surprisingly at 9 minutes
16764s we do have 25 people alive so a little
16768s bit of conservative play going down now
16771s at the Box JL fighting for the GG
16773s fighting for this no one is going to be
16775s getting this box for the ug is here as
16777s well Tam all's going to be invested but
16779s they have to be careful right now ug
16781s wants to put the pressure but txj with
16783s the Aurora bur forcing them off they
16785s looks like they are going to get the
16786s gold armor now no temp Al to the name
16788s but they still have the te will ug force
16791s the issue and look in Kaa is over there
16794s too is pretty dicey good job from J this
16797s is something that's overlooked of how
16800s spicy this team is they know how to play
16803s the chess situation so perfectly now
16805s unfortunately in the future we won't
16807s have the the chest we'll have the
16808s Thunderdome the
16810s new uh spring that everyone will fight
16813s in fight around but for now this box
16816s meta the last little bit the little bit
16820s of uh gatekeeping left in this this this
16823s gold armor is a big comeback mechanism
16827s within the game and has been for a while
16829s so as long as you make it to this end
16831s game a lot of these VAR stack teams
16832s don't really go for the the box cuz it's
16834s not worth it to them uh to double dip
16836s and possibly get hit but if you are a
16839s blue armor team getting that gold armor
16842s allows you to maintain your positioning
16844s a lot better especially if you're to get
16846s your main carry character Juiced up a
16848s little bit so they can survive a lot of
16850s the bursts going into this end game but
16852s surprisingly Duncan we got 24 people
16854s alive jdg is at 12 Wolves at 8 ug at
16858s seven so we thought the thre I I really
16862s thought the threshold was going to be
16863s around 70ish but it's looking like the
16867s bar keeps going up higher it's like
16869s opposite limbo it's like 80ish now
16871s thought it would be pretty low it's not
16873s low how low we can go how high is this
16875s going to go and it's looking tough for
16879s fpx and GG they still have two more
16882s games to go little bit of pressure you
16884s want to get over that line first but it
16886s looks uh not looking good for 521 in xcg
16892s I predict by the end of this at minimum
16894s fpx and GG are going to go across but so
16897s can drg they're doing really well this
16899s round with four kills transitioning to
16901s the end game as long as they can play
16903s their cards correctly play the Good
16905s positioning game they could find
16907s themselves getting across that finish
16909s line with this last push going into this
16911s end game absolutely you can see here GG
16916s a team that does need to make it over
16918s this uh this threshold they are
16920s extremely close now at this point only
16923s well just under a point difference
16927s between them and 521 if they're able to
16929s pick up one more elimination or just get
16932s one uh get one place higher in the
16935s placement they are going to be able to
16938s achieve that however drg again sitting
16942s on four eliminations they're only
16944s they're only four points behind that
16946s threshold as well so yeah as you said
16949s xcg and 521 are in the uh the danger
16952s seat the hot seat they are going to be
16955s uh sweating in
16957s the sweating in the in the back rooms
16959s they watching this play out hoping to
16962s God that these teams don't manage to
16964s find any more eliminations find those uh
16967s those MVPs and the thing is again after
16970s this game we've got two more games to
16973s go uh but so one thing I wanted to ask
16976s you you mentioned toal and to mention
16979s how uh they was this team was so good at
16982s playing these box scenarios now that the
16986s morus blessing is going to be
16988s essentially removed from a moral war and
16990s we're going to be having these Thunder
16992s does these sort of spirit Wells to play
16994s around instead as well as the caves that
16997s you can buy the key for in the shop do
16999s you think that that will I mean
17001s obviously tamul has value in lots of
17003s other ways and lots of other areas but
17006s do you think that that will end up
17007s seeing slightly less tool potentially
17010s it's is theoretically possible he does
17012s still have a lot of value in the neutral
17015s the ultimate is still extremely good the
17017s f is extremely good at not only not only
17020s in and of it self as being a combo
17022s breaker allowing him to if frame through
17025s certain things like Tessa ultimate Viper
17027s ultimate Etc but uh allows him to lock
17031s down enemy players if he secures the
17033s Wisp onto onto said enemy player but do
17036s you think that we'll end up seeing
17037s slightly less to mul because of the lack
17041s of a box situation to even be played for
17044s uh excellent question Duncan an
17046s excellent answer that you answered your
17048s own question by listing out I ESS
17051s strings and it's just he's such a good
17053s facilitator like you pointed out and you
17056s various stud EU known for their tumult
17059s play knowing that that character is
17061s absolutely busted especially in trios
17062s but going into the action ug's U
17065s activating this position wanting to get
17067s lock down 23 people alive so much action
17070s going on all the te activating across
17072s the map everyone has to hold their
17073s ground hold their spacing and you get
17076s shoved Away by alliance's Lane and that
17080s jabbing but the V2 is going to be
17081s invested they do have this building to
17084s keep them safe all the far is activating
17086s shooting um across the map peppering in
17090s looking at tons of damage from lxm
17094s peppering into this house right here
17095s everyone just trying to survive T's
17097s going to be invested ug desperately
17100s trying to find some breathing room but
17102s youu is going to be able to find a kill
17104s uh BBB doing a ton of damage as well but
17108s you does it looks like he has skyforce
17110s he able to get the kill and get go back
17111s back to full gold armor and he has his
17113s ultimate again he's sick of the bullying
17116s on this side shs are going to be coming
17117s out looking to get active here and
17120s create some space for his team the king
17122s is still alive but drg has been holding
17125s this corner the these two teams have
17127s been sharing off no one able to actually
17129s take hold of the situation but on the
17131s outside JL on The Cannonball doing tons
17136s of work control on the other side of the
17137s map ug is able to pick up their Tami
17139s though in this house just a little bit
17142s of room here keeping them alive you
17145s doing an excellent job the king doing
17147s his best to support his teammates but
17149s drg is going to be able to take down Z
17153s Wen drg trying to work their way up the
17157s leaderboards they at four kills they're
17159s trying to get over 80 points there teada
17162s is still alive but you thriving
17164s surviving he already pop two ultimat
17166s he's already at 75% he's going to take
17167s to the sky but on the other side JL is
17170s absolutely dictating the pace of this
17172s lobby with GG two of the goats of end
17175s game dominating their Lanes dominating
17178s their positions but ewg has something to
17180s say about it they have their FA Mech
17182s online ewg goes into the trees we got a
17186s fa Mech in the trees shooting down
17188s shooting at GG GG's going to activate
17191s their FA Mech 330 stopping the pressure
17194s 14 coming out with the AL trying to look
17197s for the kill onto lxm lxm trying to
17199s desperately survive here but he is going
17201s to get taken down by ewg's 14 11 players
17205s alive two people alive on ewg but in the
17207s skies We Got 's U we got Lane in the
17210s skies on the low ground though we got a
17213s triple Al JL with the tato Al gold armor
17218s gold Alt with the flamethrower bvv a
17222s pioneer of this strategy just saving his
17226s ultimate ready to start the cook he's
17228s ready to start the teada Habachi grip to
17231s deep fry everyone as they fall away from
17234s this tree but
17235s ewg's XJ in the theia mech trying to get
17240s some pressure going BBV weaving around
17243s cooking the faia inside the mech trying
17246s to deny the pressure BBB look at him go
17249s he still has ultimate to his game now
17252s taada or Yan activating trying to deny
17255s this pressure but vbv with the
17258s flamethrower seven people alive jl's
17261s been here here so many times before just
17264s a master class of cleaning up this Lobby
17267s you staying alive though with 12 kills
17269s that multiplier is going to be coming in
17271s big ggs going to get taken down 330
17274s trying his best to survive to the very
17276s end to secure that second place and you
17279s trying to outlast him but the ultimates
17282s from vvv going to be pushing him out one
17284s ditch effort you goes to this guy he's
17287s not able to do it but GG is able to
17289s clinch up that second place and GG JL
17293s and BBV making it look easy with that
17297s flamethrower to
17298s kada absolutely holy moly they were just
17303s they just had the positioning they had
17304s the positioning the golden flamebringer
17307s doing so much work if anybody steps even
17310s remotely close they are eating the
17312s Flames to the face and they going to
17315s burn down and JL again just being able
17319s to dictate that end game into their
17322s favor gg gg doing an excellent job of
17325s staying alive until the very end
17326s unfortunately for jdg they had 16
17329s eliminations by the end of that game but
17332s they just weren't able to stay alive
17335s they were on that wuen Viper Tessa one
17337s of those compositions that does lose
17339s some of its value going into that final
17343s Zone as wen's ultimate unless you have a
17345s lot of trees as you said earlier isn't
17348s really able to find that value he can't
17350s really do do all that much except
17353s potentially teleport his team onto the
17356s other side of the Zone which is already
17358s very small you know it's not the best uh
17360s not the best ability for that end game
17363s but that doesn't mean that it's not a
17364s good ability we've seen time and time
17365s again wuen getting so much value so far
17368s in this series and I mean throughout the
17371s throughout the this split of of nraa
17374s Blade point you know it's Wan is still a
17377s staple he still does so much for the
17379s team but unfortunately in that game he
17381s can't really do all that much definitely
17384s can't do as much as a teada let alone
17387s vvv on the Tada with that golden
17390s flamebringer just chefing it up like a
17394s like a Michelin style
17397s Chef getting those uh those spicy Cooks
17400s going you
17401s know B has been cooking all day on the Z
17405s has and now on the teada just just
17408s chefing it up cooking up everyone with
17410s that fire now one of far's weaknesses is
17413s the fact that even though she's in Mech
17415s she does take Health damage if she is
17418s getting hit by either flame breath with
17419s a cannon fire arrow with the bow or the
17423s flame the flamethrower that vbb showed
17426s and traditionally people think uh a lot
17429s of teada is this get that shoven get
17432s that Focus attack in but what's even
17433s better is getting that shoven and taking
17435s zero risk and B bursting out with that
17438s flamethrower has a giant spread nice AOE
17441s and it does deal with the current uh
17444s faia meta in there and you see uh JL do
17448s a perfect job now I'm surprised that GG
17451s in that situation doesn't try to force
17454s JL off cuz both of them were in the best
17457s positions and they kind of just like are
17459s picking off the rest of the pack but I
17461s feel like um for GG's position they
17465s could have secured this round if they
17467s were able to pick up JL but first we got
17470s a spring split random grips they are
17471s dropping for your question today chat
17475s which team is leading in the total
17476s scoreboard right now is it a BBE b o u c
17481s j l or d c d
17486s wolves make sure to keep an eye on the
17488s chat and your Whispers as well you don't
17490s want to have won the prize and then miss
17493s out on the reward I uh I think I I know
17497s the answer to this question uh but uh do
17499s you do were you paying attention now
17501s don't get baited now there's been a
17503s little bit of strategy going on some top
17506s tier you know nbpl level strategy going
17509s on in the chat certain uh certain
17512s viewers certain people have just been
17514s putting in the wrong answer deliberately
17516s and then baiting everybody else into
17520s spamming that answer and then when it
17523s comes down to that little 321 counter
17525s then they put in the right answer and
17527s then they secure the dub so think for
17530s yourself don't don't be a sheep be sheep
17533s yeah put in your own answer think for
17536s yourself we are you all capable you're
17539s all big brain Gamers you are nraa
17541s enjoyers after all but uh here we are
17544s taking a look at the standings off of
17546s that game JL coming in with that mvp 11
17550s eliminations 19.4 points sitting at the
17553s top what a performance they the thing is
17556s they off the back of that last game they
17560s were able to find that spot in the in
17562s the final Zone that just to just call
17564s home you know they in the previous game
17567s they they were holding the other side of
17569s the thorny roller they were able to just
17571s sit there and chill having sectioned it
17573s off having asserted dominance on the
17576s rest of the lobby and forcing them all
17579s out and then holding it down and then
17581s again here they were able to hold that
17583s Northern side of that the the upper side
17585s of that final Zone hold it down and then
17589s keep it with that flame bring
17591s keep every other team at Bay but here we
17594s are taking a look at the total standings
17597s ewg I mean they've still they've done
17599s better than their first day but still
17603s you know they need to they need to crank
17605s it up an arch if they have any chance of
17607s qualifying into the bi-weekly finals
17609s unfortunately for 521 they are going to
17612s be knocked down and they are not going
17614s to be in the bi-weekly finals as they're
17617s not playing today they can't they can't
17619s defend themselves they can't do anything
17621s about it it is what it is but another
17624s another team on the chopping block now
17627s is xcg TE literally 0.2 points behind
17632s them they are going to get knocked down
17633s to that 12th spot and then very easily
17637s potentially get knocked down into not
17640s playing in the finals this week however
17642s on the other hand if if you didn't know
17644s the answer you do now the answer to
17647s who's sitting at the top of the
17648s leaderboard is ug off the back of a very
17651s solid performance in that game so many
17654s teams were doing so well that game
17656s literally so many teams popping off
17659s getting a crazy number of kills the
17661s thing is it didn't it didn't really feel
17663s like it didn't feel like there were like
17667s it was going that crazy you know we we
17669s got to that 9 Minute Mark and there were
17671s still 25 people alive and leading up to
17674s that point we definitely had a very
17675s chaotic mid game for a certain amount of
17677s time but before that it wasn't too crazy
17681s it's it's more it's it's more
17682s interesting to know that a lot of the
17684s kills were Consolidated onto quite a few
17686s teams you know multiple teams having 10
17688s kills multiple teams having six to seven
17690s kills that sort of thing it's very
17693s impressive that a lot of these teams are
17694s able to find these opportunities but
17697s unfortunately for the other teams that
17698s are getting taken down they're just
17700s coming away with one like zero to three
17703s kills total and then getting eliminated
17706s before getting to the end game
17707s unfortunately but here we are back to
17709s the replay vvv doing God's work with
17712s this P sword with this flameer they
17715s having the Aurora burst on txj on that
17718s tul just sectioning off so much of the
17722s zone you can definitely see why they
17724s were able to hold this this part of it
17727s they have the merciless Havoc as well
17729s Jays of Destiny J's win games as you say
17733s so rightly
17735s so seen a back slot win a game I've only
17737s seen Jades and items win games and
17739s you're seeing it right there vbv and his
17742s team putting a master class of how to
17744s play that end game just uh when siphon
17747s activates right right not right when the
17749s circle right when the circle's tiniest
17752s is when they get that huge power Spike
17754s just cuz teada all pushing people to the
17756s zone and what does the most damage in
17758s this Zend game is actually the actual
17760s Zone you instantly go to Max corruption
17762s you take massive dot damage in it and if
17764s you're burning as well you can forget
17766s about any type of healing coming from
17768s your support players none of that
17769s matters so just massive amount of dot
17771s damage coming out with the amount of
17773s space control there's not really much
17775s counter when it comes to shoving other
17776s than if you're playing Monk and the
17779s tamies and FAS do a good job of picking
17781s off all the monks now we did see on
17783s round one a little bit of Monk play
17785s coming out but the teas prev and the
17788s teas and temis made monks go extinct
17792s traditionally and we're seeing exactly
17794s why uh these teams at the top GG JL are
17799s at the top with the perform performance
17801s from vbv one of the
17803s carries of uh te when they made their
17808s world's run to take down the
17811s championship they finally get over that
17813s hill and it's because of excellent play
17816s from bvv he's just so so so solid so so
17821s consistent you don't see any type of
17822s overextension you see him switch to his
17824s puler when he needs to you see him Dodge
17826s when he needs to he's not overextending
17828s he's facilitating for his t zipping to
17831s get kills and he's just sitting back
17833s with that flamethrower just setting up
17835s the barbecue deep frying a Lobby and let
17837s those let those points roll in JL
17840s showing exactly how it's done I'm glad
17843s to see uh txj and vbv in a new home and
17846s taking another organization to the top
17849s te is still doing really really well as
17851s well letting everyone know that they
17853s were half the team so instead of one
17855s really really fantastic teams we have
17857s the pleasure of seeing two wonderful
17859s teams kind of come together together and
17861s Ascend to that next level and like you
17863s were pointing out earlier multiple teams
17865s doing really really well Duncan in this
17867s uh time and something I noticed when I
17869s was at Worlds when we were competing
17870s that I was like man uh there are a lot
17872s of holes before in team's overall
17874s strategy and what I saw at world is that
17877s the holes are closing there's a lot of
17879s the skill skill Gap being closed in and
17882s a lot of the strategies are out there
17883s and the open and teams are taking this
17885s way more seriously that the the details
17889s or the devil is in the details every
17892s little bit counts the game is about
17894s inches and those inches turn into yards
17897s or for you and you use centimeters in
17898s the meters it just makes that space
17901s creation and you're seeing it with these
17904s new teams kind of putting it together
17905s we're seeing the venam teams put it
17907s together we're seeing BBE put it
17908s together we're seeing wolves put it
17910s together and if anything I love to see
17912s the game push to its app absolute limits
17915s the optimization is through the roof on
17917s this old patch we've been on this meta
17919s for almost a year so for optimizations
17922s to still be found for us to for JL to
17925s bust out the zy to counter this F3 and
17928s V3 Viper and a possible solution to uh
17933s siphon is amazing right at the end
17935s because I can only imagine if siphon
17937s just started out and people started
17939s running zy versus teada would the meta
17942s have evolved to what it is right now
17944s we'll see after this next patch how this
17946s kind of evolves whether or not Z can
17948s deal with the fact that uh everyone has
17951s 20% damage reduction who will want it
17953s for these bursting composition but I
17955s think it's beautiful that we're seeing
17956s lots of advanced tactics and a lot more
17959s thoughtfulness when it comes to
17960s decision-making uh with looting with
17962s fighting and every aspect of
17966s nraa yeah no absolutely so many changes
17969s coming in you know there's going to
17972s be I don't even know there's so many
17974s implications so many different changes
17976s you know the fact that um you can't get
17980s anything above blue rarity out of normal
17984s troves you know out of normal stashes on
17986s the ground you have to open a golden
17990s stash to get anything or to get anything
17992s purple you know you can't find those
17995s things just lying around as easily as
17997s you could before so it's going to mean
17999s that early game can potentially is
18002s you're not going to have as much it
18003s might inherently slow down some teams so
18006s looking to scale and feel more
18007s comfortable once they have decent loot
18009s but then again they're going to be some
18011s teams that thrive in this kind of
18013s scenario where they want to fight with
18016s white armors and white weapons they just
18018s want to go in head first and they have
18021s been able to practice in these kind of
18025s scenarios practice those low Health
18027s situations and it might also birth quite
18030s a few different team compositions you
18032s know certain team compositions do much
18035s better off spawn when they don't have
18038s these kind of things like Scaled Armor
18040s or scaled weapons and you know like for
18042s example Viper F3 Viper F3 even even with
18047s a white blue weapon you're still doing a
18051s lot of damage with that Viper F3 you can
18053s get a lot out of it and it's just like
18057s it's going to cut down the healing if
18058s you if the enemy team has a zipping you
18060s know if you don't have that much armor
18062s to start with you're going to get
18063s bursted very quickly and there's going
18065s to be I think potentially a shift where
18069s some teams will go will'll double down
18072s and try and look for that scaling
18075s earlier and then there are going to be
18076s some teams that double down the opposite
18079s direction and then try and go just head
18081s first get seriously ugly at the very
18084s beginning of each game but certain team
18088s comps are going to thrive in those kind
18090s of situations and certain team comps are
18093s going to thrive in the in the other way
18094s as well you know we're going to get Monk
18096s Buffs as well which is kind of
18098s interesting monk is actually getting a
18099s buff where going to be slightly more
18101s self-sufficient so when he leaps when he
18104s does that big jump he's going to slam
18106s down if he lands on top of someone it's
18108s secures him a grab so he's going to be
18110s more self-sufficient allowing for
18112s potentially his team not to have
18114s to facilitate him so much might birth
18118s new monk compositions potentially we're
18120s already seeing the sand Mech make a rear
18124s reappearance so who knows who knows
18126s maybe that is a hint to S uh to sand
18130s coming back back into the meta and the
18132s that thing that I talked about tal
18134s potentially dropping out because of the
18136s there not being any boxes anymore who
18138s knows it might it's he is very he is
18141s very good on his own so we don't know
18143s but we're going to be going into our
18146s fifth game ladies and gentlemen it looks
18147s like we've got a sub coming in is that
18151s our first is that the first female nraa
18154s trios player to take the
18157s stage uh it's definitely the first I
18159s don't know personally seen it and it's
18162s on the the shoulders of JL it looks like
18166s vbb and txj will be playing with her I'm
18169s curious to see what role she was playing
18172s now shaon uh was it solos but I don't
18175s recall ever a trios female player there
18179s might have been one more I I might
18181s recall one more I think there was one
18182s from EU I remember back in season one at
18185s the very beginning of NV in jaob yeah
18188s Hannah from EU
18191s with Alliance went to Worlds went to
18193s jaob and she played trios but since then
18196s I don't think I've ever seen another
18198s female trios inet play it's a bright day
18202s for the female players out there on the
18204s world stage JL taking a gamble to see
18207s whether or not mirror can carry the
18210s weight fight with all these guys out
18213s here now I think it's possible I've I've
18215s seen plenty of
18217s excellent players to see how she'll
18220s perform on this world stage though
18222s depending on her role now vbb and txj
18225s kind of have defined roles so I'm I saw
18228s I saw her on the big scene I was like
18230s wait a second is that is that a a woman
18234s a girl playing in the in the league like
18237s that is that is that a female unicorn
18241s Duncan it's definitely when it's out of
18243s there so we we see all the guys out here
18245s we see the hairstyles repres but for her
18248s to come out and represent and and show
18250s show up I'm curious how she's going to
18251s do on this world St now she probably
18253s earned the right to be here and
18255s definitely with vvb and txj in her
18258s Corner she might have the opportunity to
18261s shine here I'm hoping she does really
18263s well to open up the doors to show that
18265s anyone compete on this world stage uh I
18267s always I always kind of disagreed with
18270s uh the separation in Esports between the
18272s female Gamers and male Gamers I like to
18274s see that in nraa that we're all kind of
18277s integrated together to show that uh if
18280s you put in the work anyone can kind of
18281s do it so we'll see going this game f so
18284s we still get more spiciness that to me
18286s is [ __ ] seeing the potential uh female
18291s trios player cuz uh we got like 99%
18295s males one one girl hopefully we can we
18297s can get this this percentage down in the
18300s future more girls take up the mantle of
18303s leading their trios teams to Victory uh
18307s we're seeing ug chilling you look at my
18311s man always he always just looks a little
18315s bit nervous but he looks nervous when
18317s you see him in real life but in game
18319s he's an absolute demon just Relentless
18323s mechanically perfect and just really
18325s calm cool and collected just finding
18328s situations in that in that previous end
18330s game his team is just getting absolutely
18333s obliterated from long range by GG's faia
18336s they're dealing with drd they're trying
18338s to to uh save their teammate and youu is
18341s able to clutch up tons of points uh
18344s doing his best actually getting up uh SS
18347s their their Tami with the king and the
18350s King sacrificing his life to bring up
18352s the Tami Unfortunately they end up
18355s battling out and the pressure is too
18357s much from the outside teams that you was
18359s forced to take to the skies but you see
18361s him able to clutch up that critical
18365s critical placement points and multiplier
18368s so the name of the game if you're new to
18370s watching us in the pro league you are uh
18373s scored not just on the amount of kills
18375s that you get but your placement and with
18378s that placement comes a nice multiplier
18381s so there is a little bit of a mix that
18382s you go for now obviously you want to
18384s have tons of kills but past a certain
18387s point in the game it's all about
18389s placement just cuz the return on
18392s laddering up getting a little bit more
18394s placement and letting the kills come to
18396s you become very very obvious now that's
18398s why we do have end games in nraa we do
18401s have these 20 people small uh circles
18404s that end up happening it doesn't really
18406s go off to heal off anymore just because
18408s the level of aggression the level of
18410s ferocity these teams are able to bring
18412s uh it normally just comes down to one or
18415s two teams duking it out but we've had a
18419s lot of exciting play especially with the
18421s new rule set it's always come down to
18423s the wire it's literally for the two two
18426s weeks come down to one point no team has
18430s come out there and absolutely dominate
18432s it there's usually at least two or three
18434s teams on Match Point really really
18436s exciting stuff but going into game five
18439s a ton of these teams are under a ton of
18441s pressure this is the qualifying round
18443s they need to get over this bar and make
18447s it to the finals round so they have two
18450s more games I always call this the clutch
18452s round Championship round you want this
18455s game to go really well cuz the next game
18457s is going to be a game of desperation and
18459s very very very volatile so this is one
18462s of the last consistent games you can
18463s kind of get out of the lobby now if you
18466s can if you thrive in that highrisk
18468s situation where you love that Hail Mary
18470s game six is for you but generally game
18473s five is what decides who is clutching up
18476s now normally if this was a grand finals
18479s we'd be looking at the top three but
18480s since this is a qualifying round this is
18482s the clutch factor for those teams on the
18485s cus for those dark horses who are trying
18487s to ascend and establish them to show
18490s that they can be a consistent team to
18492s show that they belong and we're seeing
18496s more of the same thing as far as the mix
18498s did I see anything new we are see wa is
18502s the zy comp again JL coming out with the
18507s zom and M is stepping in on the zipping
18511s so good stuff that I I didn't think they
18514s could get any more spicier this
18515s definitely got spicier taging inmer to
18518s go into their new Z
18522s antier and siphon comp the zon the Z
18527s siphon comp coming in with that Comet Z
18531s I'm hoping that they do really really
18533s well off Spa no matter what it is a
18535s pleasure to watch to see vbv and txj do
18539s their thing still showing us new thing
18542s new things two years later still
18545s innovating after their world's win still
18547s pushing the meadow really really cool
18550s stuff yeah absolutely I am hyped for
18553s this and so I mean here's the thing one
18556s of the one of the reasons why I'm
18559s assuming m is getting brought in here is
18562s because JL is in somewhat of a
18565s comfortable position and this obviously
18568s you know bringing in like regardless of
18571s gender you know bringing in a new player
18573s to sub in for the team when they haven't
18576s been a staple team member for so like
18580s for the series so far you know bringing
18582s in a new teammate just to no she wasn't
18586s she wasn't she hasn't I don't think
18587s she's played at all she hasn't played at
18589s all so far in this series or even in the
18593s last couple bi-weeks I don't think I
18595s don't think I've seen her play so
18596s bringing her in here they're in a
18598s comfortable position already they've
18600s almost certainly secured qualification
18602s into the finals it is it's just one of
18604s those opportunities where you are you
18606s feel comfortable bringing in that that
18609s sub that that uh you know like I mean if
18613s it was if it was really clutch if it was
18615s in those if they were in that kind of
18617s situation where they need to get those
18618s points that you don't want to bring a
18620s variable in that you that hasn't been
18622s tested so to speak so this is the
18624s perfect opportunity for M to come in and
18626s show what she can do and I'm very
18628s excited to see how JL performs with this
18632s different third team member very
18635s exciting especially considering that
18636s they're on this Z composition Raven we
18639s have an opportunity here by the way we
18641s have an opportunity what are we going to
18644s call this
18645s composition you know you called it zon
18648s for a second there zon isn't it's not I
18651s mean call for sure it's siphon chain
18657s Sion chain siphon oh my God why are we
18659s then there's
18660s something there's something to be said
18662s about the the comet with the
18665s F3 like shooting stars star or something
18669s we're reaching now we're reaching for
18671s the Stars what are we talking about
18673s here reaching for the stars star siphon
18678s I'm I'm okay with common siphon as long
18680s as we keep siphon there because the
18681s origin of why we call anything siphon is
18684s because of the zipping uh teada that
18687s that ability to get that siphon as
18689s you're fighting and it looks like JL is
18692s going to be going with that Firefly
18694s strategy next to
18696s um oh God I just slipped my mind next
18699s some mind but it looks like they're
18700s going to be going for a timing attack
18702s into celesa but ug first versus K these
18704s two at each other's NE former teammates
18707s you showing his team what's up now you
18712s is going to get taken down early now K
18713s getting the best of a nice triple Char
18715s going to come down and the followup the
18718s Tessa Walt just too much to deal with K
18721s on the board taking down the leaders now
18723s off to the side te versus jdg another
18726s Firefly location justo also going to be
18728s invested to KO Al out tamy teada does
18732s have ultimate all the ultimates going
18733s down nonstop ultimate action shvs coming
18737s into the center Harry is going to come
18739s down slowing down Han struggled right
18742s now he does have one more shove to his
18743s name justo recognizing too is going to
18746s be able to get the kill 2v2 situation
18748s though white Perry coming out from the
18751s Justina and the freeze on the teol now
18753s 2V1 situation can L find a 2V1 clutch no
18756s he cannot the pressure from Justina is
18759s too Fierce too fast too quick and jdg is
18763s going to secure their off
18766s spawn very nicely done we're heading on
18768s over to celestra
18771s JL starting to close in close the gap
18774s between themselves and Alliance but
18777s recognizing that they are at a bit of a
18779s loot disadvantage here they all three of
18782s them on the white armor on the common
18784s armor Alliance on the other hand all
18786s have blue armor the blueberries they
18789s definitely at an advantage in this
18791s situation however this composition that
18794s we're seeing coming from JL does do
18797s extremely well into the Viper so if they
18799s play this correctly they could find the
18801s opening that they need M trying to find
18803s an opening with this fan trying to
18805s engage onto Revenge but get there it is
18807s M's first kill first kill her first
18811s appearance getting the kill on the team
18814s onto Alliance bow Get Wrecked son M
18817s coming in chasing these teams down
18819s Alliance having teleported into this
18822s building a Tessa Al coming through the
18825s zipping Al has been committed now to
18827s protect herself and her teammates M
18830s getting bounced around Alliance trying
18833s to lock them down but they're both both
18836s teams in a bit of a precarious position
18838s here one member already down Lane very
18841s low HP but the third party coming in
18843s from wolves the unsuspecting JL getting
18847s cooked by the Wolves the wolf has
18850s arrived picking up all of these
18852s eliminations even though they don't have
18854s the best
18856s armor they are sitting on some pretty
18859s solid Weaponry here having that purple
18861s long sword already for X XDM Wolves
18865s playing that Justina variation of The
18868s Cannonball comp getting a pretty solid
18871s start to the game with four eliminations
18874s sitting on the kill kill leader title ug
18878s though they come coming in and they're
18880s looking to try and take it away from
18881s them XM getting caught up by that Tessa
18884s ultimate the charm is going to be
18885s popping very shortly but he I frames it
18888s with that teleport beautifully done by
18890s the Yoto Here and Now ug are forced to
18893s immediately disengage having not found
18896s value from that Tessa ultimate they are
18898s forced to commit the wo Al to get out of
18901s their drg coming in for another third
18904s party trying to lock down wolves but
18906s wolves immediately exploding one of
18908s their team members
18910s and now the Wen Port is going to come
18911s out again wolves just fending teams off
18914s left and right each of these teams
18917s trying to get a piece but the wolf pack
18919s stays together and they are strong
18922s stronger
18926s together together strong definitely a
18928s wolves a group of Alphas indeed D
18931s absolutely able to fend off all of this
18934s assassination attempts great job from
18937s wolves inside seles and that's always
18939s the game of going into ceser just
18940s non-stop action going here with lots of
18943s line of sight light of lots of cutting
18945s potential so everyone's willing to take
18946s a risk here to find some kills now the
18949s good part about Justina and that ice
18951s pick variation is Justina is just so
18954s adaptable to terrain she can secure
18956s kills she can chase down Wen she can
18958s find those kills the same thing with Z
18960s on the jcom very adaptable in those
18963s situations can fight in multiple terrain
18965s situations and really ice off the
18967s pressure from that Cannonball now going
18969s over to shipwreck this is a nighttime
18973s day so fireflies Galore everywhere every
18976s single Firefly location is a guaranteed
18979s spawn unlike those evening games and
18981s we're seeing fpx scale up with the
18983s karumi variation of siphon still one of
18986s the modern day adaptations considering
18990s that uh a lot of The Cannonball matchup
18993s versus science siphon is going for that
18996s teada so that extra bit of durability
18999s that the F3 comes with can keep the
19002s teada alive now the downside of it is
19005s that Yodo and fio can push you out of
19008s that Kumi Circle so it's very very high
19010s skill on the Kumi to get maximum value
19013s out of their armor Circle to keep their
19015s team alive te as well on their siphon
19018s now interesting situation here te's
19020s strategy is to actually put the armor on
19024s Tami now I've seen ice piics actually go
19027s for Tami when it comes to the teada
19031s versus Ice Pick scenario the
19034s Justina as soon as she gets away from
19037s that Tami Al she hard punishes the Tami
19040s cuz usually they have their gold F down
19042s now we're going to get Alliance versus
19044s ewg mushrooms everywhere around everyone
19046s has to be careful not to get that poison
19048s onto them looks like teada is going to
19050s be the pr Target right now double triple
19052s t all coming out now Alliance bow doing
19056s his job the V3 is going to be invested
19057s they're looking for the kill right now
19059s onto the zipping they are going to get
19061s it now T versus te's all is going to be
19064s activated they have to be careful here
19065s Alliance bow needs to get a nice
19067s ultimate off he does get another double
19070s Tess all doing his job Alliance b coming
19073s in big and they're able to clean up this
19077s siphon oh my goodness great job by Alli
19081s Alliance right here perfect execution
19084s onto cphon and we're seeing exactly why
19087s that V3 is so powerful if the stars
19092s align you will be getting picking up all
19096s those kills normally uh zipping zipping
19099s getting countered by that F3 but
19102s surprisingly enough they are going to go
19104s down but fpx versus wolves right now on
19108s the side but Sam is just going to get
19110s absolutely deleted by the double toada
19112s and tamy the pressure is too much now
19114s can justtina bring it back she's going
19116s to get shoved off once can she find the
19117s opening again Double Dash going to go
19120s triple Dash she's moving she's cracked
19122s she's going outside of her mind she
19124s wants this last kill but good job from
19127s doning to slowly ease it off cool it off
19131s and wait for the Justina to commit
19132s shoving her off of that Focus attack and
19135s fpx is going to win that fight
19137s cleanly very nicely done there the Billy
19140s Billy Justina almost coming in clutch
19142s there but
19143s unfortunately wasn't
19145s able what 1 V3 situation yeah the
19149s Montage coming in music
19153s playing uh unfortunately he's not able
19155s to do all that much in that 1v3
19159s situation it is what it is it's a tall
19162s order indeed and wolves now unfortunate
19165s timing that they go down here they are
19167s going to be missing out on the realm of
19169s Yang whereas quite a few teams are
19171s posturing to go in here speaking of we
19174s have GG jumping in to this realm of Yang
19178s alongside
19180s jdg and we're going to be taking a look
19182s at this fight here quite a lot of loot
19186s here on the side of GG CJs already
19189s having that gold ultimate ready to go
19192s the purple fan on on loock he's popping
19196s that ultimate the Justina getting locked
19198s within that tamol c losing all of her
19202s armor oh the followup coming in here off
19204s of that dual halbert's knockup Justina
19207s just not able to get any unfortunately
19210s having not had any stamina going through
19212s that sand wall unable to really do
19215s anything unfortunately the uan trying to
19219s find as many opportunities to appeal for
19221s his team as possible but two now left on
19225s his Lonesome in the 1 V2 with that F2
19229s he's trying to do something he's
19230s fighting to the last but hey it's not is
19234s is kind of unwinable at that point
19236s unfortunately for them but we're going
19238s to the other realm of Yang JL scrapping
19242s it out against the alliance M getting
19244s caught up by this Tessa ultimate taking
19246s to the pillar scale rushing away popping
19248s that zipping ultimate for the team here
19252s Alliance doing a pretty solid job of
19255s taking txj down very low HP but the
19258s zipping L is still in effect and is
19260s going to be keeping him alive the Z Now
19263s M trying to find openings onto Revenge
19266s the damage from the Z as well the lock
19268s down it's so un un believably difficult
19269s to escape the zy pressure the fan cmbs
19274s there's nothing you can do and JL come
19276s out victorious in this realm of Yang
19279s picking up another three eliminations
19281s and the million Birds might cheeky gold
19285s Stu as well very nice I'm a fan she
19287s actually plays that situation perfectly
19289s on the zipping uh the the PRI her main
19293s your main job as support is to deny the
19295s burst onto your teammate and also deny
19298s getting bursted while still uh getting
19300s in there and doing damage now a lot of
19302s people when you look at other games like
19304s OverWatch support is looked at as like
19306s this healing class but in the rocket at
19308s least you're still doing damage you're
19310s still a lot a part of a lot of offense
19312s and even though position one has all the
19313s abilities it's up to the support player
19315s to kind of thread the needle to help
19317s defend situations and secure kills and
19321s we see mer perfectly scale Rush after
19324s getting Tesa aled after creating enough
19325s space for the flank and uh txa actually
19328s gets put in a really really tough
19330s situations and Mer comes over with the
19331s Peele able to keep him alive and secure
19335s the win by getting the teada kill really
19337s cool stuff coming up from jail and
19339s another siphon win this is definitely
19342s been the Wild Card the the wild mushroom
19344s that I did not expect wild mushroom more
19348s counters cuz cuz siphon has just been
19349s the most dominant confer in the last
19351s year now jdg with the B look that no
19353s it's V1 Justa getting the freeze off jdg
19358s zdi needs to F in the opening here T all
19360s is going to slow things down but the
19361s Yoda is going to be invested to ice down
19362s the pressure fpx doing a good job of
19364s avoiding this initial burst youan in a
19367s tough position right now can get bursted
19370s he has to be careful right now zdi is
19371s going to activate looking for the Double
19373s Dash is not able to get it no dashes
19374s left in this is going to be able to
19375s combo break the healing circle is just
19377s doing so much work maximum value coming
19379s out from this armor Circle but we're
19382s still going into the later parts and K
19384s is going to be showing up with the third
19385s party unlucky for both of these teams
19387s all ining their all and looking to
19390s secure more kills Don's going to go to
19391s the trees but
19393s czx on the Hot Pursuit everyone is up
19396s for grass but jdg is going to come out
19398s V3 from qgg is going to come out Kiki is
19402s under a ton of pressure one tri's going
19404s to come out looking for the tech Chase
19405s Tesla with the lmb trying to find the
19408s next opening where did this guy go Kiki
19410s just oh he disappeared didn't he man
19412s just teleported out what the heck was
19414s that lightning speed reflex is coming
19417s out from Kiki he does have dra for
19418s that's what was coming out he's creating
19420s with these kicks nice job to him he is
19422s in a last situation nice F coming out
19424s from cxz trying to secure this kill
19427s looking for the shot Kiki bobbing
19429s weaving we're out of here we're going
19430s straight up looking for the hit but he
19432s can't get away from 17 as this pistol
19435s able to secure the kill woo so much
19438s action going down there non-stop third
19440s parties and with this current meta it's
19442s just so dangerous to take these fights
19444s but
19444s over to the South we got te versus ew G
19449s V3 is going to be invested ewg with a
19451s triple Tesla Al on top of them jjh
19454s snowballing no Al left in name they fire
19456s their full shot no Al zone is going to
19458s be invested here now triple purple armor
19461s ewg nowhere left to run they have to
19463s hold their ground they have to fight
19464s back to the three situation though nice
19467s heals coming out from the Wen godl
19469s keeping up the pressure letting 14 zone
19471s out keep the pressure Flames is taking a
19473s lot of damage and on the outside
19475s multiple third parties potentially
19476s coming in GG with the triple Al showing
19480s up wants to take up the kills wisely uh
19483s JJ is going to give up the kills give up
19486s their fresh meat to the new wolves GG
19488s showing up securing some kills sitting
19491s in the no old Zone but GG known for
19493s their very disciplined play especially
19495s when they're on their s siphon they know
19498s that end game is where they get most of
19499s their kills they find a little bit of
19500s kills right there but they let it go
19502s they don't want to overextend the rest
19504s of the lobby is descending upon this
19506s absolute chaos just so much opport
19508s opportunity going out to all the teams
19510s JJ is able to get Flames up again and
19513s make their way into Zone cutting down
19516s their signature same thing with KLA this
19518s is a underutilized strategy Duncan that
19521s I see in ncka a lot especially even in
19523s other battle Royals uh the healing
19526s situation for these early zones if you
19527s look in the top right the shadow
19529s corruption is really really low so as
19531s long as you have decent white heels that
19534s heal your actual health bar you can
19535s reposition and find yourself way back in
19538s So taking RIS on theed aren't as risky
19542s as you should be in or out indeed we'
19546s still got so many teams fighting it out
19548s here xem getting taken down by Alliance
19552s here
19553s unfortunately of left out the the wolf
19556s pack has been separated unfortunately GG
19559s on the other side sandwiching wolves EG
19563s he's trying to stay alive he's using
19566s those nunchuks to his advantage using
19568s that horiz BL but unfortunately it's
19570s just not going to be enough doesn't
19572s block as much damage as it used to and
19574s wolves has been picked apart at the
19576s seams so many fights going down even
19579s though we had the realm of Yang coming
19581s up it looks as though GG are going to
19584s immediately rotate over to that realm of
19587s Yang portal and try to see if they can
19589s pick up that buff for themselves
19591s potentially go uncontested here JL seems
19594s as though they picked themselves up a
19596s white Tiger's prowess I'm not sure if it
19598s was was due to another Yang win or if
19601s they happened to get the the moris
19603s blessing lock down I think it was
19604s probably the moris here considering that
19606s they position very close to it ug very
19609s close by JL not looking for the
19612s engagement just yet oh no it looks they
19615s spotted them out here they've seen them
19618s they spotted ug rotating over towards
19620s this this spot over towards this zero
19623s ban Zone even though that might not be
19626s the destination JL is on the hunt
19629s they're looking to chase them down a bit
19632s split off at the moment txj he's he's
19636s got red in his eyes he is locked in and
19638s he's not going to let ug go quietly into
19641s the night that he's he's locked in he's
19644s still chasing his team's just so far
19647s behind but ug is scared to death like
19650s run he's coming the Matari is coming for
19655s us the Matari is chasing us down run
19659s boys ug they don't want that smoke they
19662s haven't really uh they haven't really
19664s been playing all that aggressively this
19665s game it seems they did get taken down
19668s early unfortunately and uh have just
19671s sort of been playing the scaling game
19673s I've only picked up one elimination so
19675s far this game it does look as though GG
19677s were able to secure that realm of Yang
19680s for free as I highly doubt that they
19682s picked up Draco storm after having used
19684s their ultimates in the realm of Yang
19686s they do go uncontested pick up the Draco
19688s storm and are on the hunt for some teams
19691s got quite a few teams sitting in
19693s celestra here as well kll a drg Alliance
19697s as well on the other side but none of
19700s these teams have actually
19702s uh engaged or committed any resources
19706s for the moment I think it's going to be
19708s a matter of uh waiting for the zone to
19711s move finding good positioning and then
19714s playing for the End Zone again we have
19717s 28 people alive
19719s quite a few a little bit more than
19721s before though there is still a little
19723s bit of time left until it hits 9 Minute
19726s Mark JL lurking around this moros
19730s blessing
19732s potentially look going to see if any of
19734s these team in the area going to try and
19737s pick up some scraps potentially the buff
19739s about to expire
19741s CJs closing in on
19744s them but no connection no no no commit
19748s from any of these teams it seems GG pick
19751s up the red Bounty they're looking for
19753s fights but they're just not finding them
19755s unfortunately that's one of the issues
19756s with Draco storm that you just can't
19759s really get all that much value if there
19760s aren't any teams looking to fight Mystic
19763s might being the more commonly used bath
19765s at this point in the game so that you
19766s can find those opportunities you can
19768s find those teams that potentially
19770s missing a member or two lurking on the
19772s outskirts and then chase them down with
19775s that defense
19777s buff it doesn't look o actually here
19779s looks as though ug may have spotted out
19781s ZK I'm pretty sure he's the last
19784s remaining member of wolves Left
19787s Alive thankfully for wolves they are
19789s sitting pretty at the top of the
19790s leaderboard I think currently sitting in
19792s second place so they're not they're not
19796s uh in any danger of not qualifying for
19798s the finals but they definitely want to
19800s get as many points as they
19802s can yeah with the with the jl's c I
19805s imagine moving forward more teams are
19807s going to run the counter for this cuz I
19808s feel like this is probably the most
19810s overrated composition within nvpl R the
19813s ice piit comp with Justina I just don't
19815s see how
19816s Justina survives versus any type of
19819s teada situations and the mirror match up
19821s so you're basically going for one
19823s matchup uh what JL has discovered that
19826s if you play this Z Matari um zipping
19830s composition you actually counter two
19831s compositions but you do get hard
19833s countered by the Transformer setup now
19836s because of that we may see a full
19840s rotation all the way back around to
19842s monks being prevalent cuz another comp
19844s that I see them having trouble with if
19846s that comp counters all the traditional
19848s sand siphon it's going to be extremely
19850s hard for them to come but first B3 is
19852s going to be invested ug with the nice
19855s execution onto K they miss out on the
19857s execution SS is going to get taken down
19860s good job from fpx to uh stop the
19864s pressure they look to land the shot from
19866s long range but good job from you to drop
19870s the armor onto SS now they both everyone
19872s on the team can fully recover are they
19874s going to willing to take this fight
19876s again really really cool stuff we saw
19878s armor swaps earlier today zipping
19880s becoming MVP we're seeing you and
19882s traditionally uh not as surprising of to
19885s play something that you should always do
19886s when you wuen port and you res a
19888s teammate is immediately drop your armor
19890s so your teammate can get picked up and
19892s doesn't get instantly fragged again uh
19894s just because the soul bloom in aortal
19896s war unlike normal rank heals you for a
19900s boat ton you just have so much heal
19902s coming from it as well as almost 50% all
19904s and especially down the line with the
19906s new patch with the new talents eating a
19908s soul balloon almost takes you up to 70%
19911s alt after getting a kill so lots of
19913s snowballing potential coming into nraa
19915s in the future but we're going to get fpx
19917s versus wolves ZK still trying to survive
19920s here fpx has been on the hunt for this
19923s last wolves matter but unfortunately for
19924s them they thought they were hunting the
19926s Wolves the real wolves is oh you G
19928s coming in with the third party again
19931s coming in hot fbx just seems to be
19934s fending off these nonstop third parties
19938s ug so ferocious when they come in Hit
19941s and Run they don't get what they want
19942s and they're just off into the Shadows
19944s off into the night like ninjas getting
19946s out of there we're going to see
19949s alliano playing this smart playing this
19952s wisely able to yoink a nice gold armor
19956s onto Lane onto their Viper making her
19958s extremely tanky so if you're not used to
19961s this current meta or uh seeing this
19964s variation of Viper the F3 actually
19966s scales with your weapon basically a
19968s giant AOE nuke that gives you a healing
19971s debuff as well as the V3 giving a giant
19975s AOE silence very a lot easier to execute
19978s tether is a little bit slow to connect
19980s to your opponent so they can reaction
19982s alt if they see the tether come out but
19985s still this actually free Viper to attack
19989s and lead the charge onto her opponents
19991s cuz she gets a massive amount of damage
19993s reduction as she CH uh chases her
19996s opponents so instead of two people
19998s trying to hold people down for a stagger
19999s you get a nice three player and normally
20003s if you're bursting someone down that
20004s stagger at the end of her ultimate is
20008s enough to get another Focus attack down
20011s so we're seeing why that V3 has been so
20015s successful but we're also seeing why uh
20018s Matari starting to be wild Matari on JL
20021s txj running that and having some options
20024s to counter it now going this end game
20026s I'm surprised actually Duncan that we
20028s got we got a little bit of a stack here
20031s 26 players those teams in the clutch
20034s round they need to get across and
20035s speaking of one of those teams getting
20036s across it's drre investing they find the
20040s kill onto Tessa jjh God lay was not
20043s going to be able to pop pop her ultimate
20045s to help slow down this pressure and now
20048s wuen is going to go down Flames with the
20050s Tessa Al on top going to get surrounded
20053s and absolutely could but he still he
20055s gets the sap the 1v3 situation is it
20057s possible Wen is going to be able to P
20059s out oh my goodness Flames with the big
20061s Parry brings it back he is going to why
20064s you te but he will get up going into
20069s Zone there's no way that he can get the
20071s follow up this team is going to be
20072s sitting on the edge and it looks like
20073s Wen does barely get in but Alliance
20075s right on the edge is going to see this
20077s team coming in will JJ be able to
20079s survive the can out with the F coming
20082s out from GG the titans of endgame are
20084s here to show up and let everyone
20087s unnoticed this game is theirs good Lord
20091s that guy
20092s disappeared literally the Tamal qu but
20095s that's what I was talking about earlier
20097s you know I was thinking it's possible we
20099s might see a little little less tal when
20101s the when the moris blessing gets removed
20104s but that kind of thing right there the
20106s value that I was talking about from the
20108s Wisps just being able to lock a player
20110s down and just completely 100 to zero
20113s them is so so huge zinu even with that
20117s damage reduction that you were talking
20118s about with the V3 unfortunately he's not
20121s able to stay alive he pops it to try and
20123s stay on his feet but it's just not
20126s enough ug forced to use that woen
20129s teleport but I'm not sure if they're
20130s going to be able to actually stay alive
20132s here it teleported into a I mean it
20136s teleported very close to a few other
20138s teams it's not looking too good for them
20141s again again I talked about earlier Wen
20144s losing quite a bit of value as you get
20146s further and F into that end game as you
20149s just can't teleport to a safe position
20151s really you can try and it looks as
20153s though they might have managed to do so
20156s but they're still under a lot of
20158s pressure from the surrounding teams
20161s trying to stay on their feet they're
20162s applying pressure in
20165s retaliation looks as that they might
20167s have the J to survive
20169s this spear dragon slayer going back to
20172s back trying to use it for the
20174s mobility very strong utilization of it
20179s we started to space out a little bit but
20181s OG still on the Run they do find a
20183s confirmation with the dragon slayer
20185s but only to force out that F from the
20189s tul tul now on the Run having lost a
20193s chunk of his armor but ug they're still
20195s being focused by a few of these teams
20197s few of these teams still not wanting to
20199s let them reset without pressuring them
20202s at least
20205s somewhat the zone is still quite open
20207s for the moment but I'm not sure it's
20211s going to start getting very hectic very
20214s soon JL again have managed to find
20217s themselves a very nice little piece of
20220s terrain a little bit of little bit of
20221s real estate little little place to to
20225s call home to settle down just to chill
20228s going it somewhat uncontested GG though
20230s they're not about that life they're not
20232s ready to settle down they're going
20234s straight in they're getting ugly CJs
20236s pulling out the bow shots but
20239s unfortunately wasn't able to get it for
20242s himself txj Snipes it away with the
20245s musket shot CJs having committed that to
20249s kada Ultimate trying to get as much
20250s value as possible 330 finding the kill
20253s onto jinu with that musket shot musk's
20255s going crazy in this end game lxm picking
20259s up a kill onto ug's U ug unfortunately
20262s just not able to really do all that much
20264s after that precarious situation they
20267s were forced into earlier on JL now still
20271s pretty pretty strong here they still
20274s pretty healthy txj is trying to get
20277s involved he's trying to find some
20278s openings onto GG he recognizes that GG
20281s has just use their cool downs but it
20284s doesn't look as though they're able to
20286s get all that much value unfortunately M
20289s and that wuen getting caught up by the
20290s Tessa ultimate here Alliance Revenge
20293s getting taken down by the musket again
20295s 330 he's just popping shots left and
20298s right picking up these kills ogss no
20301s armor but still alive vvv having been
20303s taken down unfortunately the Z just not
20306s really having that healing or that peel
20309s to really stay on their feet and that's
20311s kind of one of the main weaknesses of
20313s this composition you don't have that
20315s wuen wind wall you don't have the oo F
20318s you don't really have all that much to
20321s hide behind or use except for that
20323s zipping the zipping is the only factor
20326s that is just going to keep you
20327s alive M trying to do exactly that trying
20331s to get the rest onto their teammate onto
20333s bvv but continuously being pressured off
20336s txj now getting 100 to zero just getting
20339s bursted down M now the last remaining
20341s member of JL getting clipped by this
20344s Aurora burst trying to stay on her feet
20346s trying tooo moving right through the
20349s crowd managing to get up onto the high
20351s ground for the moment buying herself
20352s some time te now fighting it out against
20355s GG the karumi Al has been popped the
20358s toada AL as well GG lxm taken down so
20361s unbelievably low the zipping Al saving
20363s his life and giving him enough time to
20365s get that F off sends the Wisp into the
20367s crowd of people te and GG both caught up
20371s by this Tessa ultimate I'm not sure
20374s whose Tessa ultimate it is it might be
20376s alliance's Tessa still
20378s alive K as well has a a member remaining
20382s Tean though he is going to be taken down
20384s by that merciless or the all the the
20386s dragon roar sorry and it's looking
20389s pretty cooked I must say GG playing this
20392s end game extremely well they're not
20394s playing passive they're playing
20396s aggressive and it is paying off CJs
20399s still sitting at full HP has I mean he
20403s doesn't have his Al but he has that F1
20405s active SS he's getting cooked he's got
20408s the Tesa charm active and CJs gives him
20410s a moment o Bas oh oh you thought buddy n
20414s you're going down soon
20416s enough he's running into the Zone he's
20419s like okay bro okay bro I'm out of here
20422s see you later but they are not letting
20424s him go without picking up the kill and
20427s GG picking up the MVP for our fifth game
20431s of the
20432s day like I was saying Duncan the the
20436s OG's the best to do on the siphon once
20439s they get it going it the going gets good
20442s they find an MVP right here but the
20444s second I saw they were looted up they
20446s play uh end game just so meticulously
20449s just so perfectly uh going into that end
20453s game you just see them dictate the pace
20455s they know exactly when they need to
20457s engage they know exactly how to with
20459s their teada activating going through
20461s controlling the space making sure that
20463s they're not the ones getting lobbied
20465s that they're instead getting everyone
20467s else lobed first and GG is able to pick
20469s up a ton of kills and that's that's one
20471s of the things that I was very surprised
20473s JL was able to find an MVP with the Z
20476s just cuz Z is a little bit more
20478s committal when it comes to those end
20480s games the shoves uh that we saw from BBD
20483s when he was on to able to land burst and
20485s stuff really really good now Mir Mir
20489s unfortunately in that end game uh BBB
20492s does go and activate the the Z and the
20495s V2 was a little bit late so he ends up
20498s getting picked off txa tries to stall it
20501s out M with the good kiting but still not
20504s much room to kite in that end game just
20506s a cliff side end game with a singular
20509s High Ground that def definitely
20512s benefited more of the teada play style
20516s where you can find these nice wide open
20518s grounds keep that Ultimate rolling keep
20521s the uh teada nice and happy fat and
20524s juicy with this Soul Bloom so we can
20526s keep it going through all of it and
20527s that's where GG thrives they always find
20530s themselves with these great Jades these
20531s great range setups and they teada Juiced
20534s up and they know how to support him
20535s super well to control the lobby and pick
20538s off everyone and no surprises here GG is
20541s going to make it through the only
20543s surprising thing is when gii doesn't
20545s make it through just because of how
20546s consistent they are like I said Duncan
20549s uh the competitiveness of this Lobby
20551s it's not how many times uh if you can
20554s get up there anyone can get up there
20556s it's just when you get up there when
20557s you're studied can you sustain that cuz
20560s the amount of counter strategy that
20561s comes out when you're actually looked
20563s out is absolutely insane all these
20565s players insanely talented and we're
20567s still seeing that Gigi has not gone
20570s anywhere there's still a force to be
20571s reckoned with in the
20573s league absolutely you're absolutely
20576s right but again it is time for answer
20578s for Treasures ladies and gentlemen make
20580s sure to get your answers into the chat
20582s the answer to this question which player
20585s used zipping Ying in game number five
20588s was it a CD G CJs was it B
20592s ewg4 was it C JLM or was it D jjh Godly
20597s I think most of us know the answer to
20599s this question I have to say it's uh I
20602s think we talked about it quite a
20604s bit uh but make sure to get your answer
20607s into the chat when the countdown starts
20609s and you could be a lucky winner of the
20612s Springs split random gift box but make
20615s sure to pay attention once you put your
20616s answer in you don't want to be missing
20618s out on your rewards but back to the
20621s games we're going to be going into our
20623s sixth game relatively
20626s soon I'm interested to see if we see any
20629s more spicy compositions you know I I
20632s doubt that JL is going to be bringing
20634s out the zy comp for the the third time
20637s I'm not sure if mean they ran it twice
20638s so I'm happy yeah they ran it twice they
20640s run it they run it three times that's
20642s that's pretty wild that we're just yeah
20643s it pretty
20644s crazy like we're just showing our hand a
20647s little bit too much uh but the the
20650s antier strategy on this zy siphon is
20653s amazing and it's not even just anti-
20655s viiper because traditionally Matari is
20657s there to to play uh counter to Viper it
20660s looks like it does a really good job in
20662s siphon now one of the weaknesses that
20663s all Matari coms have is that endgame how
20666s are you able to sustain versus the
20669s Transformers around versus the teada and
20672s we saw a little bit of shortcoming there
20674s uh txj and BBB not able to find that
20678s Snowball Effect getting cut a little bit
20680s short now that's why I I debated on
20683s whether or not uh F3 was the best choice
20686s for Z for durability but I guess for the
20689s mobility and the memes like it's
20691s definitely maximum meme if I'm going to
20694s if I'm going to play that comp I want to
20696s go all the way and and te is known for
20698s that like vbb is known for that they
20699s used to run F1 Yodo back with Viper as
20702s well the uppercut into it and our team
20704s conquerors actually died to it and we
20706s were very very surpris uh that the F1
20709s opener was used into a silence and we
20712s just got instand debted super super fast
20714s with the silence we're seeing GG
20716s absolutely dominate right there almost
20719s equal damage all the heavy lifting being
20722s done by everyone on the team everyone
20724s around that 19k Mark but alexm on the
20728s Tami 10K that's no easy feat TMI is
20732s doing is kind of the unsung hero of this
20735s composition a lot of threading needle
20738s comes from the teming coming out with
20740s that good peel for the anti- burst and
20742s then perfectly putting down a circle so
20745s they can have that free pressure and
20748s also initiating looking for those FS uh
20751s that F1 comes out really really fast and
20754s sets up for easy pressure from long
20757s range now looking at the leaderboard ewg
20760s is having a decent day at 40.9 but they
20763s still got a 20po deficit going this end
20766s game they pretty much have to go pedal
20768s to the metal put everything on the line
20771s and try to make it past this like 84
20774s Point threshold now xcg another surprise
20777s seeing them not make it through um
20780s unfortunate same thing with J team the
20782s two-time Champions uh but generally in
20784s weekly J team kind of does pretty troll
20786s they just show up at Worlds but close at
20788s the edge drg is able to get across jjh
20792s is able to get across Alliance is able
20793s to get across GG no surprises there
20795s their siphon just too powerful having a
20797s monster day almost up to uh a 100 Point
20801s singular day surprising though jdg has
20805s been playing amazingly consistent today
20806s every single time I saw a fight I was
20808s impressed by their executions for today
20810s KLA uh just another standard top five
20813s Super solid team uh JL with the new comp
20818s still doing super super solid the
20819s innovators of the league uh Wolves at
20822s 447 still they did Super well the first
20825s day 40.7 is a still good day normally if
20829s they were going to get around 40.7 they
20830s would be on the edge they would have to
20832s do a little bit more but no surprises
20834s here ug probably the most consistent
20837s team overall as far as macro micro
20841s fighting looks we just we got the think
20844s we got the king got the baby face youu
20847s Ug just doing well zah with the crack
20850s going with the double triple for Quad
20852s dashes we're just cracked out of our
20854s minds caffeine through the roof we've
20856s been sipping on that tea now uh off
20858s spawn JL dominating Celestial Alliance
20861s though very very active with their Viper
20864s team especially on this night time the
20866s Viper teams be coming out of the
20867s woodwork just assassinating you out of
20870s the Shadows unfortunately for wolves
20872s fighting versus drg against the ropes
20874s Flames I remember this with the sap
20876s bringing that back but unfortunately for
20878s them the Juggernaut show up the OG's the
20881s big guns GG coming over rolling through
20884s dominating the situation we're seeing GG
20888s lxm with the Tami laying down the law
20892s with his musket taking shots across the
20895s map and that clutch game H that clutch
20897s Factor GG they got ice in their veins
20900s Duncan they're just making that look
20902s easy that is not easy those end games
20905s have to be incredibly calculated MVP
20908s four times to CGS look at my man's loot
20912s we got the Phantom set the glitch in The
20914s Matrix doing almost 12K damage with with
20917s that fan almost 6K damage with that
20919s Cannon just keeping his team Trucking
20922s along scooping up the kills and taking
20926s it down even with that HEPA uh doing
20929s most of his damage with the fan the fan
20932s being recently added the game definitely
20934s tra uh kind of mix up trios cuz
20937s traditionally uh spear long sword and P
20941s sword was used but fan kind of replaces
20943s two weapons in that uh yeah it does yeah
20946s it just good crowd control coming out
20948s from the focus attack good Focus attack
20950s and damage uh just good overall in
20953s neutral still one of the strongest
20955s weapons and we're seeing it there
20957s traditionally teada has played with a p
20958s sword but you're seeing a lot of the top
20961s uh teada switching over to fan and I
20963s thought that the same thing as well it's
20965s just you're able to actually out chip uh
20968s when all things are equal with the other
20970s teada and I just felt like you're a
20971s little bit more mobile now with this
20973s current meta they don't have full
20975s stamina or even a little bit of stamina
20977s they're usually running a full discount
20979s or full
20981s rage
20982s but folks we are finishing up that game
20985s from that Championship round GG popping
20988s off but we are going into game six but
20991s before then our last clutch round we are
20994s going to take a short break but we will
20995s be right back for some nraa proleague
20998s trios don't go anywhere
21014s [Music]
21024s by
21027s [Music]
21053s say what
21055s is
21058s Faith it's about shattering the
21062s cycle altering the rules of the game
21076s [Music]
21086s [Music]
21087s hey
21088s [Music]
21101s [Music]
21122s new challenges will be
21124s ignited and a new order is poised for
21128s reshaping
21168s he
21181s [Music]
21190s and we are back ladies and gentlemen for
21193s our last round for nraa pro league trios
21197s I am Raven pz and I'm joined by the
21200s great great great sword Mr Duncan donut
21204s the the Tarka himself and it's been an
21207s fabulous day Duncan of trios JL has
21211s blessed us with a new composition and a
21215s possible new meta the Z Matari zipping
21219s building off the foundation of that
21221s siphon composition the zipping and
21225s Matari a nice counter for those vipers
21229s and surprisingly a counter towards those
21233s teas now is it the composition is it the
21236s players cuz if anyone was to make this
21238s work it's always vbv coming up with the
21241s craziness they were one of the leaders
21243s with even Cannonball running that F3
21245s running that uh
21248s High rage Baria where she's just feeding
21250s the ultimates to txj a lot of the
21252s Chinese teams weren't really willing to
21255s run Cannonball and then we set them we
21257s saw them kind of set the meta and uh
21260s we've seen the league all say this
21261s they're just like you know what seems
21263s like a new combo we're just to let JL
21265s kind of iron out the details then we're
21266s just going to rip from them and we're
21269s seeing that that opportunity still going
21271s through Stay True to this
21273s day cool stuff though yeah no absolutely
21277s it's it's kind of something that has
21278s been present for a long time they're
21281s just some teams that are just the chefs
21284s you know and they just come up with new
21285s funky stuff and then everybody else is
21288s just like they're cooking they're
21290s cooking
21292s tasty a little salt perhaps you know
21296s just you know the original teada sand
21299s siphon comp for example that went
21301s through so many different variations we
21303s had
21305s teada tul Matari we had uh teada tamul
21311s monk we had teada zipping monk I think
21315s then we had we've had so many different
21317s versions and then finally we landed on
21320s the the sand siphon we know today with
21322s the deada toal
21324s zipping but yeah it's it's it's just
21327s like I mean I can't remember which team
21329s originally came up with that
21331s composition but uh yeah I mean it's it's
21335s just like that isn't it going to be a
21337s team that just comes up with a brand new
21339s composition just starts up with
21341s something ooly brings it out and uh this
21344s could be the beginning of uh of Z gaming
21347s in nvpl trios who knows who knows I
21350s think all we need all we need is
21352s pandaman to get put on a trio team and
21354s then we'll get a we'll get a fire dog
21356s comp at some point we'll get a t comp
21358s cooked up at some
21360s point I'm a just I'm just I just embrace
21363s the copium man you know like thing is
21366s obviously it's kind of as T tker is kind
21369s of as in a lot of matchups and uh if
21372s tamul just puts the sand walls around
21374s him puts him in the baby cage he's kind
21376s of screwed however one of the like
21381s there's always there's always
21382s possibilities you know there's things
21383s that can mitigate it you know like if
21385s you have a Yuan on your team as TKA you
21388s can just run through that to molal no
21390s problem there's there is there are
21393s possibilities and with the new season
21395s with everything changing with all all
21396s the with all the new glyphs the new the
21399s new setup for the for the spirit well
21402s instead of morus blessings you got the
21405s the cave as well there's going to be so
21406s many new things coming in who knows I I
21410s feel like taka could definitely Thrive
21412s with the right composition it's just
21415s again I said I I was saying this earlier
21417s there's going to there are going to be
21419s compositions that people haven't thought
21421s of and just H or perhaps the the
21424s compositions just just they require a
21426s certain meta a certain Lobby to be
21429s playable and as we saw with the Z
21432s composition it doesn't really do
21434s anything into Cannonball they just have
21436s to run away so if they're in a Lobby
21438s which isn't very Cannonball heavy then
21440s it can work same thing could be said for
21443s lots of different compositions that are
21445s a little bit off meta if they're played
21447s into a specific Lobby they can work you
21450s know tker in solos is still a pick that
21453s can only really be picked on a nighttime
21455s Morris Isle game
21457s because if you pick it on daytime Hol
21458s off you are in for a very rough time so
21462s who knows one of the things though that
21464s I have to say I think would make things
21466s a very very interesting a lot more
21468s interesting would be that trios n BPL
21472s Pro trios required you to play more
21475s compositions cuz quite frankly you know
21479s each each Trio's team member kind of
21482s just has to play three characters and
21484s that's it you know maybe four if they're
21487s pushing the boat out with something else
21488s but realistically they just have to play
21490s three characters whereas solos you have
21492s to play five minimum and it's just like
21496s seven now with the the current rule Set
21499s uh but oh yeah I agree with you as far
21502s as character matchups the harder part in
21504s trios though is the multi-way fights
21507s because uh in solos right you you know
21511s certain matchups you know certain 1 V
21512s one matchups but they're pretty
21513s straightforward once you understand you
21515s know the counter matchups you get 1 V
21516s one V1 situations right it gets
21519s extremely complicated in in trios
21521s because of the 3v3 action cuz you know
21524s each match up right everyone has this
21525s character versus this counter but when
21527s you add another team that in gets
21529s involved then one more and now you're
21531s managing ultimates and your target
21533s selecting it's extremely hard uh to play
21537s off this and it gets complicated really
21538s really fast so I agree with you I I do
21540s agree with you and I think to your main
21542s point is like we more variety makes
21545s things more interesting and
21547s speaking of interesting jjh resurrecting
21550s a comp from the deaths the traditional
21554s Transformers coming out in the last
21557s round how does traditional Transformers
21560s go into this modern era of um nraa we
21564s saw it pretty much go extinct now
21567s technically at Worlds no one was really
21568s playing Transformers ever everyone had
21570s given up on it and hlg who basically I
21573s would say worlds was a tie considering
21575s they lost by5 five did run double
21577s Transformers and manag to get big value
21581s off their Transformers as far as Yang
21583s and even endgame being only the singular
21586s monk so if four monks are able to get
21588s the end game do our end games look very
21590s very different especially if we're
21592s running counter strategy to these vipers
21595s the Vipers are going to have to go back
21596s to the drawing board if Matari are going
21599s to be on the table and so is Sans siphon
21603s going on notice cuz if they're not able
21605s to get that power SP if there it is
21607s actually true that zy Matari and zipping
21610s can beat them in Yang they're not going
21612s to get that critical power Spike by
21614s winning those uh first Yang and second
21616s Yang versus the other compositions if
21618s they're getting counter comped on the uh
21621s outside by this new composition so
21623s interesting stuff Duncan especially with
21625s the new talents I'm very curious how
21628s things go forward especially since this
21630s might be the last patch uh the last week
21633s that we see this patch going into this
21635s Trio
21637s finals this third biweekly finals we are
21640s on this game six ladies and gentlemen
21644s now the Kumi Circle we're seeing a lot
21647s of teams favor this drg ewg and I got to
21651s say I'm curious to see whether or not
21654s the Z composition can deal with the
21657s karumi variation cuz the burn damage
21660s definitely really really Nerfs uh
21662s zipping healing effectivess but unlike
21665s zy the karumi healing Circle does
21668s cleanse burn and she does have her F3
21671s which cleanses burn as well so will you
21673s be able to burst people with that zy get
21676s that crowd control going especially with
21679s the F3 uh it's it's going to be
21681s interesting moving forward they
21682s definitely had the surprise factor that
21684s gimmick Factor just the O what's this a
21687s reverse Uno by the way Matari exists
21690s haven't seen a Matari since the stone
21693s ages so cool stuff from JL we have we'll
21696s still see whether or not uh this
21698s composition will survive in the future
21701s but if anything uh it's been a pleasure
21703s to watch something new something fresh
21705s and I it's kind of weird to me to say
21708s that seeing a Transformer team is going
21710s to be fresh considering how old uh this
21714s composition is and how trios pretty much
21717s if you want to be a trios player you
21718s have to know this comp so it's been the
21720s staple and face of trios for so long
21723s yeah absolutely one thing that I wanted
21724s to note though when you were talking
21725s about the roomi Circle and how it fares
21728s up against the Z I don't see it being
21731s all that bad I think that Z in that
21733s situation can do quite a bit as when you
21735s have a karumi on your team you're
21737s looking to play inside that Circle but
21740s one of the things that Z does extremely
21742s well is when people are grouped up
21745s together she can get a a lot of AOE
21747s damage if she has that empowered V2
21750s attack and she has the the the fire
21753s chain wave then she can essentially hold
21756s all of them in a specific spot because
21759s not only does it hit all of them but it
21761s pulls them all into the center of the
21763s wave allowing your teammates to follow
21766s up with with uh I mean you know a pul
21769s sword R&B or whatever you might have at
21772s your disposal and uh especially if
21775s you're I mean if you're running F3 Z you
21778s can also throw it down into the middle
21780s of the karumi circle and knock all of
21782s these players out unless they're able to
21784s tap Dodge it in time so I see it doing
21787s it all right as you said the the burn
21790s damage would definitely be cleansed
21792s however I feel like Z aai's value has
21796s sort of moved away from the burn damage
21798s that she can provide and more to the the
21800s chase down and the uh the crowd control
21804s potential of the Z Ultimate ooh
21807s beautifully done here wa we have the zip
21809s we have the wait hold on we didn't
21812s notice this this is the old school
21814s siphon in Matari
21816s zipping to kada did you see this I
21818s didn't see it wolves running the the
21821s Matari we both missed it
21823s completely just completely clueless we
21826s didn't see the Matari toada zipping
21829s that's huge so this actually is kind of
21834s lowkey really really good for them
21836s because there's a lot of vipers in this
21838s Lobby and it's it prevents that the the
21843s big counterplay factor from Viper where
21846s she just pops that V3 and negates toada
21849s for a certain amount for for the
21850s duration of the ultimate preventing him
21852s from using any of his shs if Matari
21854s breaks line of sight then she can just
21857s Al and then teada can just have fun just
21861s y go have fun bro go have fun you know
21864s uh but then on the other hand let's say
21867s Matari gets focused down by the Viper if
21869s teada breaks line of sight for a moment
21871s then he can use his shove from behind
21874s terrain and peel for the Matari for a
21876s moment that sort of thing so it
21877s definitely is actually a pretty good
21879s comp going into this final game but
21881s we're going to have to see how it works
21883s out but for the moment we're heading on
21885s over to the mines JL fighting it out
21887s against ewg ewg getting loged down by
21890s this Tessa ultimate but they do have
21892s that teada ultimate online they are able
21894s to peel for themselves neither team oh
21897s there we go the first taked down coming
21898s out onto txj the port gets called for
21902s and the woen is going to take them to
21903s safety but ug coming in out of nowhere
21907s from the Sands they just pop their head
21910s up around the rock say hello Tessa sends
21913s out the fox the Kitsune is ready with
21916s the charm and locks down
21920s JL ohug the third party from
21924s ewg it's an absolute brawl at the moment
21927s the V3 coming out from Xin Yu and they
21930s getting so much value three kills now
21933s picked up ug trying to get as much as
21935s they can the staff juggle onto JG onto
21939s that onto that karumi trying to log them
21942s down he's able to do so in ewg they're
21944s having a rough time
21947s recovering JL he's on the Run vvv he's
21950s trying to make something happen but it's
21952s pretty much cooked at this point the F3
21955s from the Viper coming in not dodged
21958s you're eating a brick for breakfast my
21961s friend and we're heading on over to jdg
21964s versus drg
21966s Ki already been taken down two tick
21968s finds the dragon slayer onto woin the
21972s karumi is not going to be able to do
21974s anything about it wfz getting Tech
21978s chased by this Dragon Slayer by the
21980s spear the bong coming in going wide the
21982s whiff it doesn't look like it's all that
21985s good for this for this Tessa
21987s unfortunately but he does have his
21988s ultimate gets the confirmation and
21991s Dodges the fur and blast as well he gets
21993s his soul back but it's not going to
21995s matter and G are going to come out on
21999s top the the northern side Firefly is
22002s just so spicy over so committal these
22005s fireflies on the side there's not much
22007s you can do other than all in that
22009s situation fbx going around and this last
22012s day that's what I was saying is is very
22013s very hectic and if you're able to save I
22016s would say your viper composition for
22017s this last day you're going to have the
22019s best bet because you can avoid a lot of
22022s the dive bombs from the teams who are
22024s very desperate trying to make it pass
22026s that bar we're seeing that bar we're
22028s seeing that desperation coming from fbx
22030s drg desperately trying to hold their
22032s grounds hold that fivepoint lead but the
22036s top 12 is looking dicey right now only
22040s fpx is left they need to find some kills
22042s they know if they just play this wisely
22045s and safely they can get across
22046s unfortunately them they're going to run
22048s into the macro Gods themselves GG's
22050s going to open up they are going to get
22051s Triple Tesa Al no V3 to Viper's name
22054s though water going to get faded out by
22057s the F trying to come back and influence
22058s the fight for his teammates looking for
22060s the parry's not going to be able to get
22061s an overh hold going down not going to
22063s get it we're just getting cooked good
22065s job by lxm to not flinch other pressure
22068s to stare him down now fpx against the
22070s Rope scanon dmate get out of here do we
22073s have a second life or is it cooked for
22075s us and it looks like we're going to be
22077s eliminated in the top 12 is going to be
22080s solidified drg is able to fade their
22084s competition fpx
22086s unlucky not going to be able to make it
22088s through surprisingly enough with the
22091s other Titan xcg for this third bi-weekly
22094s but we still got 32 people alive in this
22097s Lobby still a lot of nraa to be played
22101s in this round but vipers are running
22104s wild we got ug's SS on the Tesa getting
22107s doed on by the
22108s Wolves Tesa all is going to come out he
22111s gets a nice two-piece from it he is
22113s getting poked in the back he is going to
22114s go back on to the the ballista this team
22117s is going to have a rude awakening as the
22120s shots are coming down cowy non-stop
22123s action they're desperately trying to get
22125s onto them but wolves Matari not able to
22128s get there in time is going to get blown
22130s up but a third party is coming out JL
22134s coming back with the Vengeance they
22136s reset with blue armor and white armor
22138s they lost initially here in mind and
22140s they will have their Vengeance onto ug
22143s jjh dinosaurs within this Lobby running
22146s the Transformers versus jdg on the Viper
22149s comom godl been playing monk all day
22153s can't get it going is going to get put
22155s down by monks Bane the crossbow lit up
22159s in the knees my man's old knees the old
22162s monk we can't handle it we are going to
22164s get taken down jdg looking real real
22169s Rich transitioning into this mid game
22173s Yang is coming up and so many teams
22175s actually inside the Zone rotating in a
22179s little bit late this bottom right of the
22181s map the mine just a graveyard for so
22184s many hopes and dreams for this Trio's
22187s finals
22189s unfortunately for fbx they aren't able
22192s to make it in the top left they did get
22194s taken down but first Yang is going to
22196s come up are we going to get some Viper
22199s action in Yang it looks like te is
22202s posturing to go win with the purple
22204s weapon on their y there looking pretty
22207s Juiced for this Yang fight is anyone
22210s going to step up to the plate and try to
22212s take this fight it's looking rough I
22215s don't know if I want to go but GG also
22217s the macro Gods on this C and give me a
22220s good VA to watch give me a good fight
22222s get in there GG or K I'll take either
22225s one of you let's see some more
22226s Cannonball versus siphon now
22230s traditionally these two teams have been
22232s going back and forth but who will take
22235s it this time we're going to get te
22238s versus KLA great fight going to go down
22242s is it is it a cannonball though on the
22243s other side I can't really tell it looks
22246s it looks like it we're going to get
22247s scale a nice grapple to this guy looks
22249s like zipping is going to be diving on to
22252s Leo on the outside trying to stay alive
22256s with the fan and does look like we're
22257s going to get a cannonball man up KLA
22259s looking to execute on to the fair
22263s initially the teada Q GG diving the
22267s teada uh the far immediately but
22269s immediately push off T is going to go
22271s down isolating that faia pressure Yan is
22274s trying to push him out of it qgg is
22276s going to make his way back to The Tam
22278s all Tami doing a ton of work onto the
22280s Faria but good job by Leo on the fa to
22283s peel off that pressure it's looking even
22285s right now as anyone's game Yan taking a
22288s ton of damage Yo's well is going to
22289s activate a little bit of a delayed
22291s execution from De but is delayed good
22294s and ready they waited they slow cook K
22298s leading their teada into a false sense
22300s of security he's put into the boiler
22304s slowly getting nice and Juiced up and it
22307s looks like te is going to be taking this
22309s o Focus line being revealed on losable
22312s neutral blistering Edge as well
22314s K realizing what they're up against te
22317s just scaled to the Moon right now with
22320s the Jade 17s Last Man Standing trying
22324s his best with the staff to make
22326s something happen but the focus slide is
22328s going to take his knees out for them and
22331s and te is going to take this first round
22333s of
22334s Yang very nicely done from te just
22338s showing the prowess of The Cannonball
22340s composition you know we talked about how
22342s the Transformers just sort of fallen out
22344s of meta and it feels like they just the
22346s dinosaurs that we just don't see anymore
22348s they've gone extinct and uh we
22350s occasionally see a lizard every now and
22352s then but uh I think it's it's to do with
22356s the Cannonball because it just it kind
22358s of functions in the lizard it functions
22362s in a very similar way to Transformers
22364s you know how it's it's not obviously not
22366s the same but it like when it comes to
22370s Cannonball it's a lot about that alt
22372s rotation and uh getting it I mean you
22375s can just go just go crazy and just use
22378s all three ultimates at the same time but
22381s it is a it is a lot about rotating that
22383s FIA and the Yoto Yoto using their
22386s ultimate going into the fer Al or or
22388s just Yoto using the fer ultimate and
22391s then going out and having Yoto Al
22393s immediately available fer then charging
22395s up the ultimate and then repeat that
22397s kind of thing I mean Transformers was a
22399s lot about rotating Al that you had the
22401s monk Al and then the Yan would cover for
22403s the monk when he comes out of all but
22405s it's just like the cannibal just kind of
22407s does kind of slightly just Does It
22410s Better You Know It kind of just does it
22411s better and then Tessa being used on that
22415s attack Titan composition that has kind
22417s of moved away from it being Attack on
22419s Titan it's kind of lost its identity
22421s somewhat considering that there aren't
22423s any Titans to attack anymore uh speaking
22426s of we have t Han popping that Yoto
22430s ultimate trying to get some value here
22432s but jdg doing a good job of avoiding it
22435s almost entirely Han pretty low HP looks
22439s as though two TI's going to come in get
22441s that Tessa ultimate Z zdi to take him
22445s down L yd as well going to go down
22447s shortly after and
22448s jdg picking up these eliminations
22451s getting those Soul blooms very nicely
22454s done from different Duncan I saw two
22458s Titans just get attacked right there
22459s immediately Faria gets
22461s executed I saw two Titans go down it
22464s looks like Attack on Titans still alive
22465s in 2024 don't get it twisted Viper I
22469s mean it's just it's kind of like it's
22471s still the same but it's like I get
22473s reaching for different strategies the is
22476s still the same we just get a little bit
22477s more stun a little bit more uh ultimates
22480s out of that 50/50 but the attack will
22482s still always be there and it's the only
22484s way to slow down the Titans it's kill
22486s them in that mid game and when they
22488s cannot transform it's why we coin the
22492s phrase Attack on Titan uh cuz if if you
22495s were back here in the old days where
22497s Transformers was the only composition
22500s the only thing that showed a chinka the
22502s armor which is why the initial J team
22504s was able to win was the Viper
22506s composition coming in and attacking
22508s those monks Against All Odds finding
22510s those kills onto the monks we're going
22512s to see K versus
22515s JL Tesla Al is going to be invented
22517s invested but JL is going to back off
22519s they don't want the smoke they're going
22521s to retreat into all this kiing but nice
22525s grapple coming out from qgd sh is going
22527s to come out V3 is going to be invested
22528s we got to hold our ground versus and
22530s zipping immediately gets deleted for
22533s leading the charge on fortunately for
22536s her not able to get peeled from her
22539s toada because of that AOE silence and
22542s now uh JL activating and catching that
22546s overextension playing a game of cat and
22549s mouse the mouse looking a little bit
22551s mousy but actually a lion waiting there
22555s to eat your house cat house cat being
22559s KLA unlucky to them good job by JL and
22563s the Parry is going to come out again
22565s another cat and mouse play vvv
22568s pretending he was vulnerable getting
22570s that big peris sap cxz in a 1v3
22573s situation T's going to be invested can
22575s he find the clutch like his former
22577s teammate you can do one over that's how
22579s it starts first hit's going to go down
22581s but Fong is going to deny the play with
22584s the grapple Perry JL letting everyone
22588s know this is how they do it still the
22590s Champs just a new
22592s name indeed JL doing doing God's work
22597s here and yeah I mean they do have two
22599s they have two of the two of the three
22602s Champs from te from that jup
22605s team looks as though we're going to get
22608s right back into the action though jdg
22610s jumping in with that Viper ultimate with
22613s the Tessa ultimates flying out as well
22616s zeddi though sending a rather bad blue
22619s Focus here getting parried but making up
22622s for it with a huge Parry onto that P
22624s sword and immediately turning it back
22627s around the wuen coming in with that F3
22630s able to heal up his
22632s Viper get them out of danger txj did get
22635s taken down there but wuen Port teleports
22638s them away gets that that Resurrection
22640s off now bvv trying to buy some time for
22643s his teammates to get that heal off sends
22646s out the Tessa ultimate two tick uses the
22648s F1 does manage to get his soul back from
22652s the lantern bvv is not happy about it
22654s though he sends out the Bonk is he going
22656s to catch him out of the air though they
22659s managed to hold onto him for just a
22661s moment but it's not looking too good
22664s going back and
22665s forth oh jdg looking to try and
22668s stabilize just for a moment the longer
22670s this fight goes on the greater the risk
22673s of a third party both of these teams
22675s know that if they get too low it could
22677s be very dangerous for them jdg do have
22680s their wuen port available so they are
22682s they are safer to continue fighting JL
22686s here and you can see that it's evident
22688s in the way that they're trying to chase
22690s them down JL forced to try and move
22694s through celestra try and maneuver around
22697s these buildings and prevent the
22699s engagement from being so easy but oh
22704s they're trying to force it regardless
22705s jdg but here comes the third party the
22708s Tessa Al coming in and the Wen Port
22710s there to save them exactly what I was
22712s talking about the longer the fight goes
22714s on the more risk of third party GG being
22718s that third party coming in with the
22720s Draco storm are a force to be reckoned
22722s with a very scary team coming in here
22726s not only are they a very good team but
22728s they have Draco storm and Draco storm if
22731s you've ever fought against it it is an
22733s extremely good dueling buff here just
22737s constantly sending out those lightning
22738s strikes preventing you from uh I mean
22742s from doing all that much at all you know
22744s it's also constantly healing them it is
22746s uh very hard to take down a draco storm
22750s team and unfortunately they weren't able
22752s to make it out with their lives two of
22754s them did but one of them does get taken
22756s down there but wolves now in a bit of a
22759s precarious situation they need to try
22761s and force a fight running that Matari
22764s zipping toada composition having lost
22766s the realm of
22767s Yang the realm of Yang the Yang
22770s depletion
22772s situation is starting to take place
22775s they're trying to find an opportunity to
22777s engage but they are in celestra it's
22779s just one of those places makes it very
22781s hard to lck certain teams down but they
22783s do manage to find one Soul Bloom
22785s cleansing one of the Yang depletions ZK
22787s getting locked up by the Tesa ultimate
22789s the parry's coming through GG doing so
22791s much but they are taking a lot of damage
22793s and wuen has been given the call to
22795s teleport them to safety they don't want
22798s to overcommit even though Draco storm is
22801s strong you can get bursted healing is
22804s not going to help if you get 100 to zero
22807s and that very nearly happened just now
22809s but wolves they can smell the blood the
22812s blood in the air the blood in the water
22815s the wolf pack is on their heels nipping
22818s at their ankles trying to chase them
22821s down here they spotted them out on top
22823s of the building but the Parry coming
22825s through from CJs and he gets absolutely
22828s destroyed XM disapp disappears from this
22831s plane of existence EG now taking all of
22834s his armor trying to disengage it is
22838s Matari and celestra so he is going to be
22840s able to
22840s maneuver but it's not going to be enough
22843s I don't think and EG does get taken down
22846s ZK now the last remaining member on the
22849s on wolves in a 1 V3 against UG and
22853s that's all she wrote wolves get
22855s eliminated in our sixth and final game
22859s the wolves have the blood in the water
22861s but the blood in the water is actually
22862s their own blood ohu and GG the OG's
22866s letting the new guys on the blog know
22869s that you're going to be hanging with the
22871s big leagues now we got you ONN we see
22873s you and we're not that impressed taking
22876s them down in quick Dead fashion now
22879s going into this end game 22 people alive
22882s last game of the day 10 minutes left
22884s vipers Galore picking off everyone but
22887s drg and te te last nonv team standing
22892s alone Cannonball team in this pack of
22896s Darkness with Viper Tessa running around
22899s laying and waiting just you wait Titans
22902s I can't wait for you to Ultimate
22904s everyone licking their lips for this
22906s last Titan team can we get this last
22909s kill going only Viper teams can really
22912s only grief Viper teams but uh I wonder
22916s if uh especially in solos right now a
22919s lot of the matchups as long as you're
22921s the same character there's like a family
22923s plan going on that you don't NE
22925s necessarily go for each other uh for
22927s these end games if the Titans get there
22929s when the siphon coms get there
22931s technically Viper teams have a really
22933s really hard time uh living so I wonder
22936s if in the future until they make an
22939s official rule on this will the Viper
22942s teams avoid necessarily attacking each
22944s other and start going for traditionally
22947s just the siphon teams because
22950s technically the siphon teams don't like
22952s going for each other at least in a raw
22954s battle cuz they will get picked off the
22955s second they commit it's really those
22957s Yang depletion situations that open up
22961s uh scenarios that teams start trying to
22964s actually go for each other now until
22966s that point we usually need range to for
22969s uh Force out cool Downs Force out
22971s ultimates and we saw the cannon shots
22973s coming out from ewg pressuring Alliance
22975s to bob weave get out of there and
22978s they're retreating into that nice hot
22980s breath of moon Bane that nice smelliness
22983s getting away from all of this hot action
22985s of these super scaled teas these sand
22989s siphon teams when you're running into
22991s that just twin shot purple is just not
22993s worth it we'd rather just get hit by
22995s Moon Banes but unfortunately for them ug
22998s known for their Bane surfing follows
23001s them in and finds Alliance uh struggling
23004s to get through through this Moon Bane
23006s nice pickoff coming out from
23008s ug the most consistent team the most
23011s dominant team and the current dominant
23013s team this weekly during the qualifies
23016s they won the first week they got second
23018s the second week
23020s arguably they tied I'm going to say it
23022s came down to literally the last kill so
23024s I'm going to I'm going to go with the
23025s tie even though uh wbg does take it
23028s where's wbg this week though not here ug
23032s still showing up the work still clocking
23034s in still popping the number still
23035s holding up rank one letting everyone
23038s know that they're going nowhere everyone
23040s adjusted to them but now they just
23043s adjust to all every one and they're
23045s coming in hot looking spicy for this
23049s last weekly now going into this last leg
23052s everyone slowing
23054s down dust is settled but it looks like
23057s ewg doesn't want to go into that good
23060s night up to
23062s 70.2 is there a world Duncan is there a
23067s world where they can fade these 20
23069s points calculating the mathematics here
23071s is there a world can they climb up here
23073s what do you think what's the we're
23075s looking at for ew to get
23077s through I mean it's pretty rough I'm not
23080s going to lie looking cooked it's looking
23083s pretty cooked I mean drg they're on the
23086s cusp right now they're at the threshold
23089s and they've lost two of their teammates
23092s so the I mean the Threshold at which
23096s they need to get to would be is is is
23100s somewhat set in stone at this point the
23102s likelihood of drg getting more points is
23105s is pretty low so ewg essentially needs
23108s to get another 19 points or 19.1 points
23113s technically so if they were to elimate
23115s people alive I see 19 kills 22 minus 3
23118s is 19 we just need to get every kill in
23120s the lobby
23121s Duncan I mean yeah they would have to
23124s get the majority of those we got to
23127s believe Duncan we got to believe I mean
23130s I do believe I am always one to believe
23132s but it is going to be rough is it's
23134s going to be hard to actually pull off
23137s unless they
23138s just I don't know man I don't know if
23141s it's really feasible you know like I'm
23144s all about that copium you know me you
23146s know advocating for taka you know I'm
23148s all about that copium and hopium but on
23150s brand I'm also I'm also a realist at the
23153s same time in a lot of ways so realistic
23155s copium you heard realistically realistic
23157s copium
23159s exactly but yeah realistically
23162s ewg has like 1% chance maybe I would say
23168s of doing this actually achieving this
23172s like they have to get every kill and
23175s it's already looking pretty rough
23177s they're already getting pressured by
23179s this Attack on Titan team they're
23181s sandwiched on both sides by
23184s jdg it's not looking too good already
23187s and the problem is is that the number of
23189s people left alive in the lobby is going
23191s to progressively get lower and lower get
23194s less unless as more teams start fighting
23197s it out on the other side of the Zone un
23198s unless they're able to just constantly
23202s be moving around the Zone picking up
23204s every single possible kill I don't think
23206s it's going to happen ug though losing a
23209s member this is probably one of the
23211s conditions that would have to be met for
23212s them to actually achieve it so I mean
23216s it's possible it's
23217s possible I don't know though JL looking
23220s pretty solid right now as well picking
23222s up another kill onto lyd
23226s and ewg are nowhere to be seen they they
23229s kind of the the the kind of play style
23233s the kind of strategy they need to be
23235s taking is just go absolutely pedal to
23238s the metal just go crazy and they have to
23240s just start running the lobby but the
23242s problem with that is that no team is
23244s going to let them really do this they do
23245s see an opportunity they're going in
23246s they're trying to take it but
23247s immediately they're getting Tessa aled
23249s they are inside the building so they're
23251s not in immediate danger for the moment
23253s although nine taking a decent amount of
23255s damage he's going to be taken more very
23258s shortly he's trying to apply pressure
23261s onto this team onto JL here the V3
23264s getting popped the wuen up being forced
23266s they do have the karumi circle to keep
23267s them topped up nine he knows that it's
23271s his job to try and make things happen
23273s he's trying to take every opportunity he
23275s can but it's just so difficult he knows
23278s that his ultimate's about to expire and
23279s that he's going to have to go into a
23281s slight downtime they're going to have to
23283s slow down for a moment they do do have
23284s the tul ultimate available but they
23286s don't want to overcommit they don't want
23287s to commit with the tul and then just
23290s immediately get peeled off by the other
23293s teams they are looking for this
23294s engagement he does have the Rampage but
23295s again wenel is going to come in and save
23298s the day for that team ewg I don't think
23301s they've noticed that Alliance is sitting
23302s inside this building Alliance playing
23306s the playing the stealth game here being
23309s as inconspicuous as possible and
23311s succeeding jdg losing a member now to
23315s and zdi both getting taken down ewg
23318s picking up another kill it's starting to
23321s look decent but again they've only
23323s managed to pick up one or two kills
23325s since since we started talking about it
23328s now three they're going to have to pick
23329s up every single kill left in this Lobby
23332s they're going to have to kill every
23333s single player nine he does apply that F1
23336s but he does get taken down the Aurora
23337s burst is too much and GG coming in and
23340s crushing the dreams of ewg only one
23343s member left Al now no ultimate available
23347s just yet either and Alliance are ling on
23349s the bodies it's not safe to Res he's
23352s forced to get out of the building maybe
23354s buy a little bit more time but I doubt
23356s the alliance are going to exit this
23357s building they know that if they leave
23359s they're going to be in the line of fire
23361s they know that they're going to be in
23362s the line of sight of GG who are just
23364s trying to kill every single player Left
23367s Alive 14 now locked up by the Tessa
23370s ultimate the Parry coming through as
23371s well taking a lot of damage and he's
23373s brought on the atten of alexm and there
23375s it is he does get taken down and
23378s unfortunately ewg it was a solid game
23382s eight eliminations but it's just not
23385s enough my friends and GG Now setting up
23388s to win this lobby with UG and jdg
23392s already back in the lobby back in
23395s spectator GG have the opportunity to
23397s take the MVP here they're
23399s getting quite they've gotten quite a few
23401s kills 10 eliminations and there it is 11
23404s Alliance bow eating a meteorite to the
23407s face and it looks as though is cooked
23411s Raven GG just run in the
23415s lobby and you're seeing exactly why GG
23417s is known for their endgame prowness
23419s they're their target selection there
23421s finding the right time ewg is not able
23422s to find the kills that they need to they
23424s invest all their ultimates and do not
23426s get any more ultimates cuz they don't
23428s get a kill for that Soul Bloom but GG on
23431s the other hand we're just rolling
23432s through the L with alexm finding more
23435s and more kills and just like that gg gg
23440s has been absolutely crushing the day is
23442s that three MVPs every time I been look
23445s looking in the mirror I'm seeing this
23447s this man with the white hair with the
23448s ggs I'm thinking GG are they back
23451s they're back they look like they're back
23453s now jdg also having a wonderful game and
23458s I was talking very highly about them
23460s earlier today just their a Non-Stop
23462s aggression really impressed me normally
23464s we don't see jdg that active or at least
23467s I don't especially in the VOD so we see
23470s a different side of them the real dog in
23472s them that wolf pack energy searching out
23475s the lobby going that you see the body
23478s language The Confident day pretty
23480s satisfied in what they do but you see GG
23483s nonchalantly these are Ice Cold Killers
23486s just another day in the office clocking
23488s in and clocking out we're seeing the
23490s goats right now ug thinking about it you
23493s see you you is like I need to carry more
23496s I need more weight on my shoulders just
23498s doesn't feel good if we're just not full
23500s hard carrying every situation but good
23504s stuff coming out from them and that's
23506s going to wrap it up with the game six
23509s Duncan I was hoping for some more
23511s spiciness the spiciness we got was not
23514s that spicy it was like pepper spicy we
23516s get the old school Transformers coming
23518s now getting suffocated in zoned by the
23520s Vipers and like I said that last game if
23523s you happen to save your viper pck you
23525s happen to get that phase two and you're
23526s able to go Viper uh you're going to have
23528s a good time cuz everyone is all in
23530s everyone is trying to make it happen we
23532s see the hopes and dreams of fpx come
23534s short they come up short off spawn ewg
23537s gets all the way to that end game with
23539s all of the cards in their hand they just
23542s kind of misplay they play the wrong card
23544s here the wrong card here and just gii
23547s just Scoops up all the chips takes it
23549s down with their Viper composition but
23551s ewg did have a fighting chance now it
23554s wasn't just 19 kills cuz placement with
23555s four points plus the multiplier is
23557s closer just they needed at least 10 they
23559s needed to close out the round with the
23561s placement and uh it was definitely
23563s possible I saw I saw a future that they
23565s could do it but when I saw their
23566s execution their their shot call for that
23569s last little bit uh they just don't get
23572s their teada going you need to make sure
23574s that you have the win conditions set for
23576s these end games to see a sequence of
23578s killing I'm going to kill this team then
23579s this team then this team we're looking
23581s for these opportunities we're looking
23582s for these uh spacings to seize the
23585s opportunity and get your destiny in
23587s their hands but ewg still a good showing
23590s for them they were right there in the
23592s cusp not everyone can make it only the
23594s top 12 can for this Trio final so good
23598s stuff from everyone today I love to see
23601s JL doing that work I love seeing OGG
23605s doing their thing even though I'm not a
23607s big fan of wolves still new faces coming
23610s up the inconsistently hopefully wolves
23613s can they s can they let everyone know
23616s that they are now a top five team that
23618s they the Old Guard will be put on notice
23621s every time I see this the Old Guard just
23624s smacks them all back down just get back
23626s down there what do you think you're
23627s doing we just need to do a little bit of
23629s VOD review on them okay downloaded see
23631s you later so we'll see going into those
23634s trios finals whether or not wolves uh
23636s can keep up this momentum but any
23640s surprises for you today Duncan
23644s I think the Z was probably the biggest
23646s surprise from JL you
23649s know it's it's spicy you know it it's
23654s it's i' I can definitely see value there
23657s I can definitely see value even with F3
23659s you know F1 might be the better pick if
23661s they were to try and play this
23662s composition more regularly it might be
23664s the better pick but then again F3 giving
23667s you that Rush down potential functioning
23669s almost like the Yoto can where you use
23672s the F3 as an engager you knock somebody
23675s up look for followup and then you can
23677s pop your ultimate again or you pop your
23679s ultimate and then use it again
23680s potentially as well the mobility on that
23683s F3 is very very strong and then pair
23686s that with the zipping and the Matari the
23689s siphon the life steal from the from the
23692s Matari ultimate and then that healing
23694s from the from the zipping it's
23697s definitely a forc to be reckoned with
23699s you know and I I definitely know how
23701s strong as Z can be I think a lot of us
23703s can
23705s it's it's very very good it can be very
23707s very good I think it it'll definitely be
23709s a composition that can only function in
23711s specific
23712s lobbies uh unless I I mean I don't know
23716s unless they would potentially swap out
23717s one of the one of the characters for
23720s something else that would allow them to
23722s then deal with Cannonball more
23723s effectively they're probably going to
23725s have to hope and pray that they pick it
23728s in a Lobby where there aren't all that
23729s many cannonballs and that there's just
23731s more
23732s vipers but then again you know as the as
23735s the as we go into the new patch the new
23738s new season patch things are going to
23739s change you know we might not see as much
23742s V3 Viper we might I mean who knows what
23746s we're going to see I think we'll
23747s probably still continue to see Sans
23749s siphon I think that that will probably
23751s be a staple for a very long time but the
23754s changes being made to monk the changes
23756s to the glyphs I think Transformers might
23759s make somewhat of a Resurgence or at
23761s least uh a sand forers or sand Mech kind
23766s of composition will probably be coming
23768s back in and again we saw sand Mech as
23770s well today so we actually saw quite a
23773s bit of variation quite a bit of
23775s diversity in the team compositions which
23777s is very nice to
23779s see yeah looking at the
23782s leaderboards you're not first you're
23784s last and wbg took that to heart they
23787s weren't first they were absolute last
23789s going into the finals but the qualifying
23791s teams drg getting across the Finish Line
23794s we got te former Champs making across
23797s the Finish Line it's just qualifying
23799s round that that doesn't matter what what
23801s Playing for Keeps is this next round
23803s only 9% of your points will be going on
23805s to the next so not a big deal right here
23808s for these top teams B BBE jdg JL wolves
23812s and ug BBE holding the mantle down
23815s holding the foreigners down letting
23817s everyone know the foreigners can compete
23820s even at the highest level level 4 CN
23823s still the lobby is on notice ug is back
23826s in top form it's not a fluke they're
23828s here to stay with you they are forced to
23831s be wrecking with JL they don't have all
23834s of their teammates from their final team
23835s normally this is them crushing it but
23838s still BBV txj doing work showing us the
23844s Z stuff now going into this last game we
23846s see wolves going around wolf packing
23848s around you know with the you
23850s know with the damage with the Matari the
23853s juggernauts coming now but still uh not
23857s able to fade through all the mataras
23858s just the hit and run of this last game
23860s is just really really tough to deal with
23862s uh GG on the other hand doing super
23865s super well finding these kills and this
23866s this end game right here this is just a
23868s a veteran play a finess right here
23870s coming out from SS switching to this
23874s alista midair where you going son gets
23877s some out of the a uh te Now versus KLA
23880s cannon balls out to kada uh I remember
23883s this fight they were lulling them into
23884s the corner now looking at this the
23886s attack on Titan kill still killing
23888s Titans 2024 doesn't matter 2 years later
23891s vipers still killing down the Titans we
23894s will find you we will crush you when you
23896s don't have ult up don't need silence
23899s we're following those kills GG with the
23901s Draco storm just unkillable with Draco
23904s storm without Draco storm calary balloon
23906s doing in work ewg their hopes and dreams
23909s alive going to set a flame by GG
23912s snuffing them out scooping them up and
23915s eating them like they're a snag GG still
23919s one of the ogs one of the veteran end
23922s games player they make it look easy it
23924s is not easy but jdg showing up just like
23929s wolves mon another another team is it
23933s their pop off team are they going to
23934s ascend this season is this leading up to
23938s a possible
23939s jdg top five finish at World Cup we
23943s shall see Tesla F1 V1 there's still so
23946s much nraa that is going to be played in
23949s the future new character new patch
23951s coming up how were the pros going to
23954s adapt to this I'm really really excited
23957s to see this and surprisingly Duncan
23959s normally when I looked at this old patch
23961s uh I've seen this just so many times
23966s over and over and over again and it was
23967s just like a rock that we just kept
23969s squeezing and squeezing for some more
23973s and more new stuff and today we did see
23976s JL show us a zy variation that I didn't
23979s know existed we also saw sandc come out
23981s that a possibility of playing even
23983s slower than Cannonball still kind of
23986s works on hollo but the question Still
23989s Remains can you fade the F3 V3 vipers
23992s running around assassinating now first
23994s day might be a good Contender if you
23995s want to play really really slow just cuz
23997s the lobby heating up everyone's sitting
23999s down we're all a little bit tight so
24001s finding that opportunity to play slow
24003s right there May pay off monks may be
24005s played on that first day I know at
24006s Worlds even on the first game it was a
24009s night time it was a full monk Lobby so
24012s maybe the tempo of the lobby May uh be
24014s considered in the future especially when
24016s you think about an eight game stretch
24018s going into the trios finals going into
24020s this weekend yeah no you are right
24023s it's I don't know there's a lot to be
24026s said today so many new things a little
24028s bit of variation here and there a little
24030s bit of spice I I will say I I was hoping
24034s for wolves to do better today based off
24037s of their first day having gotten 118
24039s points you know I was hoping for a
24041s little bit more hopefully today was just
24043s a rough day or potentially they were
24045s just taking it easy who knows hopefully
24047s they can come in this weekend in the
24048s finals and uh and just run it run the
24051s lobby but uh we're going to be going to
24053s a quick interview real quick we'll be
24055s right back in just a
24059s moment hi everyone this is jger and
24062s welcome to postgame interview and now
24064s I'm standing here with Scot and let let
24066s him say hello to our
24071s [Music]
24074s audience so first we would like to say
24077s congratulations team JJ finally qualify
24080s for the biweekly and I would like to
24082s know so how's your team so all the
24084s teammate how's your feeling right now
24086s and also so in the past we see a lot of
24089s team they just changed their teammate
24091s but for you uh your team didn't do any
24094s change so how you guys just consider
24096s about this
24133s okay so first I would like to say I'm
24135s really excited because we qualify for
24137s the byy weekly and so for the plan in
24140s the spring split for our team why we
24142s didn't do any change because we have a
24145s new teammate mura and our ambition now
24148s is to like him like more convenient and
24152s more like familiar with the trolls game
24154s in the matches okay let's move on to
24157s next part answer for
24167s Treasure okay so you guys can see the
24169s crash on screen and if you know the
24171s answer just type them in the chat box
24173s after our player counting 3 2 1 we will
24176s take a screenshot and lucky guy would be
24178s whisper so let's see today's question
24181s which hero did jjh God lay used in the
24184s game
24212s six okay so I just asked him about why
24215s they choose the hero combo in the latest
24217s game and godl just said cuz actually he
24221s want to choose another hero combo but
24223s all the teammate want him to choose the
24226s hero he really good at because they
24228s really have confidence with the hero in
24231s Godly hands okay and I think our players
24235s prepared and let's start counting now
24243s one two three screenshot okay let's find
24248s out the correct
24252s answer T High yeah the correct answer is
24255s T High yes okay and we know that
24258s upcoming by weekly for you is really
24260s important so I would like to know so in
24263s the past did you just reply all the by
24265s weekly and like your ambition this week
24285s okay so our ambition in upcoming by
24288s weekly is top
24293s five okay thank you for today's
24295s interview and we will get back to our
24297s casters
24303s back after that short little interview
24305s it's always nice to hear from the
24307s players I'm with Raven the expert the
24311s expert analyst from the arena he's been
24314s in there he's been in the he's been in
24316s the trenches in those games many of
24319s times and I wanted to ask you in your in
24322s your expert opinion do you have
24324s predictions for this weekend for the
24325s finals what would you say we should
24327s expect to see not only from trios but
24329s also from solos most
24331s likely uh I think there a really cool
24334s narrative happening this season between
24336s wbg and ug unfortunately for wbg their
24339s Trio seems not going to make it but in
24341s solos spider and Mike are always going
24344s at it they always going toeo toe and we
24346s can't forget our man t uh T225
24349s KLA he's always been there he's gotten
24351s back-to-back seconds at Worlds tough
24353s break for him but he really shines when
24355s it comes to these really really hard
24356s lobbies I think the way he plays neutral
24359s really benefits versus smart play the no
24361s mixup mix up really strong with him but
24363s Mike um with the new setup they the
24366s whole Lobby has to counter him cuz he
24367s was winning games in three or four games
24369s with the new match point now for
24371s trios uh I think it's more of a wild
24373s card this time around what everyone's
24375s shown is that if you let ug run away
24377s with it let their macro go in uh they
24380s will win this tournament outright I feel
24382s like right now their 3b3 is way stronger
24385s than most teams it's probably like 6040
24387s not a huge huge Edge where they're just
24388s a slam favorite they can still lose if
24391s they misplay a situation but with you
24392s that that extra horsepower I just don't
24396s see them really slowing down now that
24398s doesn't mean that GG klaa and JL are not
24402s hot on their heels I think everyone's
24403s going to be reeling from the fact that
24405s Matari can be used on some of these
24406s Viper days so people are going to have
24408s to consider like like I was saying is
24410s like a can Juggernaut come in we saw
24412s wolves run that old siphon com with
24416s teada being involved but if you can save
24418s some of your character hero points
24420s especially Going the Distance eight
24421s rounds you were saying you want some
24422s variety we're going to be seeing some
24424s variety moving forward and because
24427s Matari existing will f um F2 silence on
24432s viper be coming out so I predict a
24435s little bit of a shakeup will monks
24436s really show up I don't know if there was
24438s solid enough evidence with that feel
24440s like monk is still going to continue to
24442s be extinct uh but what's really really
24446s wonderful Duncan that all this off meta
24450s stuff just proves to show that maybe one
24453s day uh tar will be viable in all this
24457s with all the buff with all the nooks and
24460s crannies maybe it's just something that
24462s just so far out of the box it's out of
24465s this galaxy or something that no one's
24466s put together uh but there is a chance
24469s that somewhere somehow in some weird
24472s counter meta Tara could possibly use I'm
24476s not I'm not ruling it out completely but
24479s there is a possibility and if Tara does
24482s come into will we see The Return of
24485s Duncan Donuts in a different light a
24488s different Arena you did show uh blessed
24492s us all with your Tara gameplay in solos
24494s but if can I get a promise now if Tara
24497s comes to trios if we put that energy out
24499s into the universe you answer call will
24502s you answer the call Duncan and come to
24504s Tre
24506s uh hey yeah I mean if I got the right
24509s team
24510s yeah yeah I mean f hold him to it
24514s everyone in chat remember this day what
24516s is today May 3rd Dunkin Donuts agrees to
24520s coming back to come play no more just
24522s for a fun game we got him folks we
24524s caught him in 4k he's coming back to
24526s trios if T ever comes in The Meta so I
24529s will be hoping and looking for that t
24532s come we find back in there I'm going to
24536s find that somewhere in the diamond and
24539s the rof we're going to pick it out we're
24541s going to pluck it up we're going to show
24542s everyone that Duncan Donuts that we love
24545s to
24547s see hey well we're going to have to do
24549s some research see if we can figure
24551s something out I'm sure I I I'm sure
24554s there will be I'm sure there will be one
24557s day but here we are taking a look at
24559s next week's groups for the trios I I
24564s think this is for the trios we got OG K
24567s GG wbg te and 521 all in group a wolves
24572s jdg BB drg jjh fpx in group b JL Bower
24577s xcg Alliance ewg and JT all in group C
24581s group a looking kind of nuts I'm not
24584s going to lie group a is going to
24587s be that's going to be uh frightening
24589s when those teams are going up against
24591s that group a on the on the on the day
24594s that they do you know I mean Group B is
24595s pretty solid too Group C seems a little
24598s bit as though it's it's got a the
24601s majority of it seems as though it's got
24604s teams that unfortunately weren't able to
24606s qualify for the finals this week but you
24608s know hey I mean Group C got something to
24611s prove got something appr proove and uh
24614s you know it can always be flipped on its
24615s head you know we can we can always see
24618s those teams that unfortunately just
24619s weren't able to do as much this week
24621s come in come into the by in the fourth
24623s bi-weekly and just show up just turn
24626s turn it on its head especially with all
24628s of these changes that are going to be
24630s coming into play I'm pretty sure I mean
24632s initi we thought it was going to be the
24634s third bi-weekly that we were getting the
24635s new season patch but then we were told
24637s that it was probably going to be the
24639s fourth so I mean unless that changes
24642s which I hope it doesn't we uh we will be
24645s seeing all of these changes in effect on
24648s the on the nvpr stage which I'm very
24650s excited about yeah changes just like you
24653s said the the wave of changes I mean BB
24656s showing up doing work showing everyone
24658s that the foreigners can do and I finally
24660s I think they're finally finding the
24662s stride I mean w as well jdg as well so
24665s still a lot of competitiveness left in
24668s this league no one's just letting it go
24670s everyone's still fighting for every inch
24672s and this is still early on the season
24675s this is still the first season of nvpl
24676s we're still going to get up a follow
24677s season but for today that's going to be
24681s all for us folks I am Raven pz and I am
24684s joined by my brother my main man Mr
24688s Duncan Donuts uh it's been a pleasure
