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

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]
13274s	later

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
24691s	casting with you guys and being with you
24693s	sharing this beautiful nraa but
24695s	unfortunately we will see you next time
