1788s welcome to the nbpl my name is hip rain
1792s and I am joined by RunKeeper as we get
1794s ready to go into today's action in trios
1798s obviously ruined yesterday you were here
1799s for the uh solos you can kind of talk a
1802s little bit about that uh this is my
1803s first game back of the world it's been
1806s it's felt like the longest break ever I
1809s am so excited to be back and covering
1811s some of the racket goodness and
1812s obviously a whole heap of changes as
1814s well since previously we saw each other
1816s so we'll obviously cover that a little
1818s bit later but first of all how are you
1820s doing roon how are you feeling mate I'm
1823s doing fantastic you know I'm absolutely
1825s excited to be back there's no place I'd
1826s rather be like with my new rocket family
1828s of course that includes everybody
1829s watching from home and of course all my
1831s co-casters and the lovely broadcast team
1833s as well it's great to be back here in
1835s the nbpl it's great to be here for a new
1838s spring split and man you know if
1840s yesterday was any indicator of what
1842s we're gonna be seeing in this season
1844s things are going to get heated you know
1848s wbg spider came in last season and kind
1850s of threw a wrench into the words uh we
1853s saw of course a W's Mike unfortunately
1855s had to step away for a little while but
1857s he's back this season as well Group C uh
1862s for uh this particular bi-weekly is
1865s absolutely maddening wvg's fighter and
1868s aow's Mike in the exact same group so
1871s those two always going to be going head
1872s to head but yesterday it was Fang
1874s previously known as GBL Zen who came in
1877s and absolutely flipped the script on the
1880s league you know GBL is in come coming in
1883s to the first season last year was the
1885s defending solos world champion and we
1888s expected to see a lot out of him and he
1890s just underperformed all season kind of
1892s in the middle of the pack which is not
1894s where you expect to see the defending
1896s world champion however he is back with a
1900s vengeance two less players in every
1902s Lobby means four less kills and he
1904s dropped a 50 bomb for the first day of
1908s solos talk about setting the bar and the
1910s most BM we have ever seen in a single
1914s game of doraka goes top side where
1917s everybody can see him drops a legendary
1919s pole sword legendary repeating crossbow
1921s and a legendary Greatsword and just
1923s walks away and says I don't even need
1925s them come and take him
1928s the final fight comes down to alliance's
1931s Gin who's using the legendary pole sword
1933s does not matter thing just pulls it out
1935s on top absolutely insane taking a look
1938s at the groups here today is groups A and
1940s B going head-to-head in trios here and
1943s there's somebody I want to talk about in
1944s group a here and that's team te a quote
1949s unquote new team joining us this season
1952s but their roster is made up of the
1955s original J team that took the first
1959s world championship we're talking about
1961s lyd BBV txj we're talking about the
1965s pioneers of the counter monk comp that
1969s dominated the first world championship
1971s and of course you know J team's roster
1973s changing drastically in season two of
1976s last year and the new J team defending
1979s their world title and taking you know
1981s the championship well old J team and its
1984s members split up across the league kind
1987s of providing support to a bunch of
1989s different teams but now they're back
1990s together and it's like The Clash of the
1992s Titans they're in the same group it's
1994s gonna be old J team versus new J team
1997s and I can't wait to see it happen of
1999s course we're taking a look here there is
2001s a difference in the match order go going
2003s forward instead of two matches of War
2004s style and then a match of holleroth it's
2006s more style Hollow Roth more style and
2008s then for our last three games the same
2010s thing more style holleroth morsile I'm
2012s really excited uh for this sort of
2015s change up here I love going from one map
2017s directly into the next and then of
2019s course we have the break in the middles
2020s between games three and four and then we
2022s come back and we do it again Morris Isle
2025s has been such an aggressive map uh at
2028s least for solos I'm very very interested
2031s to see how things have changed in trios
2035s I have so many theories about potential
2037s comps and counter comps given the
2039s addition of Feria I just there's so many
2042s I don't know which one's actually going
2044s to be metal Jake I yeah I mean I just
2046s actually want to go all the way back to
2048s the teams we were looking at because
2049s obviously like you're saying te uh
2053s the J team of previous the J team that
2055s won the first uh World Championship
2057s obviously the defending J team are still
2060s here I think that in his own right was
2061s crazy when you've cast your mind back to
2063s Worlds to see that j-team took it and we
2066s had no expectations this was a team who
2068s we were done with we were like these
2070s guys they made it a World's sure but
2073s they have not been the team that we
2075s expected to be at the top uh also
2077s another really big thing to Matt to note
2079s is where's fbx they're gone and they've
2082s always been a solid team in that top
2085s kind of I for season one it was one to
2087s three but season two I think it was like
2090s between one and five they've always been
2092s a team who've been a threat to whatever
2094s Lobby they're in and always have that
2096s ability to uh off throw and maybe
2098s balance out balance in some in some of
2101s the group matchups so it's very very
2102s interesting to see now what the game is
2104s gonna look like with fpx gone obviously
2107s those players are still around they've
2108s just been split up all over the place
2109s vvv joining team te and returning to the
2113s original j-team roster
2115s um as this new team in the league so we
2118s still will have some of these players
2120s showing up I'm loving this new stage
2122s this is unbelievably cool I haven't had
2124s a look at this yet
2126s um just naraka stage is always sick
2128s though they're always so cool like the
2130s live Studios
2131s absolutely sick but we are getting ready
2133s to go into that first game of the day
2135s I'm not sure what to expect this is very
2138s much gonna be a day of furycrafting I
2140s I'm interested to see you know what
2142s everything's gonna look like obviously
2144s since last we had professional uh
2146s professional matches we've had the
2148s addition of Ferra to the match up you
2150s know with the Mets and talking about the
2152s V3 version which we're seeing a lot of
2154s solos players use in trios you're gonna
2156s be able to get in that met whether they
2157s did go for that or whether they decided
2159s to maybe opt into one of the other
2160s versions and have you know a little bit
2162s more sustainability on that Mech I'm
2164s very very excited to see what the meta
2167s is going to be looking like in what the
2169s hero selection is going to look like I
2170s think now with you know extra Heroes
2173s being added over time we are going to
2175s start to see more diversity within the
2177s team comps and you know maybe not just
2179s the uh the monk comps and the um oh God
2185s Yoto comps like they were like the two
2187s comps we saw in trios but in Worlds we
2189s started to see a few more kind of
2190s variations and
2192s different styles of comps you know I'm
2194s still waiting
2196s for this goddamn valda like the the
2198s valda cicada comp I we tried it in
2200s Trio's Moon and I know it works so I
2203s want to see that show up at some point
2204s well look you know so I I have my own
2208s theories about what's gonna come out
2209s this season and it all kind of revolves
2211s around Feria right uh Fifi as we like to
2215s call her for short uh she brings a lot
2218s to the table and I think the three
2220s variations we have potential to see here
2223s is gonna be one we're gonna see just the
2226s straight up counter monk comp right
2228s where Feria just comes in with Viper in
2231s tow and they use that comp to outright
2234s just counter all the other monk comps in
2236s the lobby we might even see a comp where
2239s Monk Is joined by Feria and fairy uses
2243s the V3 to buy the monk Extra Protection
2245s after his old he de-olds and just hops
2248s straight into the ferry at Mac right
2249s like that's a cool variation I think we
2252s might see today played out as well and
2255s the potential uh we might just see a
2258s straight up Ferry account so that they
2260s can run two different versions of comp
2262s and look at this here we go we're gonna
2264s see ewg jjh and xcg all running Feria
2269s into this Transformers comp and I'm
2271s willing to bet they're going to be
2272s running V3 Jake I I also kind of want to
2275s know um I do believe now I need to be
2277s corrected from wrong on this but I do
2279s believe that the teams now can't see
2281s what each other are picking going in I
2283s believe it's blind nowadays I think that
2285s was a change that was added going into
2287s season three uh I will get that
2288s confirmed off screen but if that is the
2291s case they can't just load in jump on the
2294s kind of the loading Island and then see
2295s oh there's a bunch of monks let's pick
2297s farrier like you are picking blind at
2299s this point it is interesting how all of
2301s these harriers feel like they are here
2303s to support the monk instead of
2304s inherently just a comp built around her
2307s I want to see this Viper comp with her
2310s because I feel like that would be very
2311s very effective I I feel for whatever
2313s reason they are deciding you know they'd
2315s rather Runners to support to keep the
2316s monk alive uh and I mean luckily for
2319s some of these teams there's only three
2321s farriers in the game so it's not like
2323s it's the most uh the most oppressive
2325s start uh we are still seeing the classic
2327s Yoto comp as well with the uh Wu Shen
2329s and the Viper uh I'm amazed we haven't
2333s seen that compote with Ferrier instead
2335s of the Yoto uh I feel that's like a very
2337s very good come to run into these monks
2339s as well because if you don't know the
2340s mech you can just peace out if you have
2341s the met you can go all in but here we
2344s are
2345s on to Morris Isle for our first game of
2348s trios of the year
2350s gonna see who's gonna be able to take
2352s you oh we have some stacked teams in
2354s group A and B
2355s and it is gonna be a very very Explosive
2358s Start
2359s yeah this is going to be absolutely
2361s insane I think what we're seeing here
2363s because a lot of these teams are running
2364s classic monk comp I think we're gonna
2366s see teams because of how the hero points
2369s work run a monk comp run the classic
2371s valda or sorry not valda but uh the
2374s classic Yodo Viper comp and then have a
2377s third comp which is a comp built around
2379s Feria to counter monk chops and then
2382s that way they don't have to worry about
2383s hero points is they have three different
2384s comps to just kind of jump through
2387s um and save those points for when they
2389s really didn't ever see the first fight
2390s of the day break out here between oug
2392s and OC oug quickly taking the upper hand
2395s here picking two of those hominations
2396s but XG picks up all three members one
2400s way but from the dagger comes in oh my
2403s goodness they almost come through with
2406s the first 1v3 of the seasons that would
2409s have been such a big stop and that way
2411s Austin k-i-l-a making themselves a fight
2414s here versus xcg one of the monk
2416s Transformations will come out in qgg
2418s throwing down that Yoto ultimate it's
2421s doing a somewhat caught up here in the
2423s air I say somewhat definitely caught up
2424s slammed into the ground losing some
2426s armor into the waiting hands Alex hang
2428s another grab into the into the slam
2431s shipping coming through unless he does
2432s get interrupted and xiaom actually gonna
2434s lose monk form and KLA able to win this
2437s fight here nice and easy down by the
2440s river though we are seeing a couple
2441s other fights breaking out as jdg do end
2445s out taking up pick onto TK there just
2448s fasting them away
2450s yeah jdg coming in strong early this
2453s season running that more classic uh monk
2455s comp here you can see they're running a
2456s kurumi anduition and this comp very much
2460s picked by these teams because it does so
2463s well into those Realms of Yang versus
2465s kind of that new school combo uh we saw
2468s coming out for the Transformers comp
2470s much of season two but as soon as realm
2472s of Yang made it way made its way into
2474s the meta we started seeing kurumi come
2477s back into the fold just because of how
2479s much healing she does bring to those
2481s individual fights where you don't have
2483s to worry about the potential of the
2485s third party and we see Gs are running
2487s that same comp as well with the classic
2489s uaishan and kurumi here using those
2492s cannons no surprises to see monks once
2494s again still running those cannons using
2496s the explosive radius to pick up as much
2497s rage as possible and there it is we're
2499s gonna see immediately as Xiao Tota goes
2502s ahead and monks up after landing a
2504s couple of those cannon shots now though
2505s stuck kind of in a weird place is
2507s actually able to get over that tree root
2509s and the remaining members of jhh just
2512s trying to keep their distance from this
2514s monk right now God Lee though here one
2516s of the best monks in the league buying
2518s himself a little bit of time here the uh
2520s their team of course are running the
2522s tamalk of that wind wall buying them
2524s enough space so that they don't have to
2525s worry about Joe Toto and GS needs to
2527s start thinking about how to get out of
2528s this fight he's going to walk straight
2530s into a poisoned mushroom here though and
2532s jjh actually has gs on the back foot now
2536s they still have ultimates to burn GS
2538s with no monk form available and the
2541s kurumi just trying to heal xiaotonou as
2543s they continue to keep things moving and
2546s look at this God League gonna position
2547s himself straight into the middle of the
2549s fight so he can Munk up as soon as the
2551s opportunity arises we are going to see
2554s that V3 come out from the ferry here it
2557s is and God Lee jumps into it this is
2559s exactly what I'm talking about Feria
2561s bringing that V3 and just the support
2563s for The Godly Godly knew he didn't have
2566s to Munk Up for this fight and is able to
2568s use the fairy old to cover for the team
2570s instead of having to burn his own
2572s ultimate and has it in case of the
2574s potential third party this comp has so
2577s much potential this season
2579s yeah this is a very very impressive
2582s comment you can see the power of that uh
2583s Second shot the primary uh being the
2586s kind of missile launcher but having the
2587s ability to just lock that in place and
2589s shoot those explosive harpoons so much
2592s Splash damage comes out for them you
2594s don't really have to be overly accurate
2595s and just so much power and now
2598s should be close towards how well they
2600s actually have that monk form of
2601s unavailable to them if they need it
2602s really really smart comp actually Godly
2605s right now just looking to finish up and
2607s here and may not be clinging to life for
2611s too much longer they are desperately
2612s trying to dash away but the grapple
2614s count is coming in he'll just be able to
2616s finish Anne up hitting them against the
2618s tree they did hold on for a fair amount
2619s of time there we are actually cutting
2621s over now to jdg who are seemingly on the
2624s chase of uh oug
2626s yeah they are okay you're just a way
2628s away from them but it looks like both
2630s these teams are also heading to a
2631s position where they can be closer within
2633s the circle and now the fight has already
2634s broken out both the monks are
2636s transformed up here as SS and LSR I'm
2639s just gonna be pushing pushing each other
2641s away but LSR actually losing a lot of HP
2643s already he may just go down before he
2645s can do anything they've got a little bit
2647s of healing coming in from the kurumi
2649s onto SS but now there's a Bane's breath
2651s raining down on these guys as well as
2653s the monk forms are lost oeg seemingly
2656s the owners of that Spain's breath they
2659s will be able to pretty much just quite
2661s handibly hold this fight for themselves
2664s as OGG are being bounced around in the
2666s breath
2667s jdg actually able to pick up a couple of
2669s members of oeeg and response there it's
2671s actually I think it's I don't know who
2673s owns this Bane's press
2676s okay so jdg so fun fact if you see the
2679s little uh papers spinning around them
2681s with the blue Earth that means they are
2683s the ones who own the Bane spread ah
2688s just found that out who would have known
2692s we're gonna see Kayla hey coming in here
2693s for a very clean third party though they
2696s are surfing this Bane though and I do
2698s believe this is the purple tier Bane so
2700s they're risking quite a lot Kevin how
2702s long this Bane is still up but they've
2704s been able to separate jdg away from the
2706s bay no KLA actually on the very edge of
2710s the bay and takes a hit at maximum range
2712s but they're able to turn it back around
2714s onto jdg and it was an absolute clean
2716s third party coming in from them yes jdg
2719s did have the Bane's breath there but
2721s they were so low after that fight with
2723s oug even though they had Bane's breath
2725s on their side they were just able to
2727s come in and clean up that fight now it's
2729s gonna be six eliminations of the belt
2731s here for KLA as we turn our attention to
2734s AOW Ping Tao here with uh two new
2737s members on his team so it's gonna be
2739s interesting to see how AOW makes the
2741s adjustment uh to playing with two brand
2743s new members and if they synergize well
2746s if two months was enough time for them
2748s to figure out that sort of synergy here
2751s for the pro league
2755s what's really interesting where like a
2757s lot of these teams not a lot of them but
2758s like a fair chunk of these teams have
2760s actually kept their rosters there really
2762s wasn't much change I mean you look at GG
2764s that's the exact same GG we had uh for
2766s season two and the world championship I
2768s believe the it feels like a lot of these
2770s teams they feel like they've got a
2771s working formula and instead of trying to
2773s mix things up and change things around
2774s they're actually quite happy to stick to
2776s what they got and I feel like a lot of
2778s teams fell into that trap of reforming
2781s coming out of season one into season two
2783s and it bit them in the back because when
2785s you swap your players around obviously
2787s there is a lot of potential with new
2789s rosters that's why we see teams suffer
2791s out certain teams are lower in the
2793s standings they don't have the
2793s performance they want obviously you want
2796s to be getting those um you want to be
2798s you want to be changing up the roster
2799s but I found it interesting where they've
2802s had a pretty long off season so lots of
2804s time to get acquainted and comfortable
2805s with each other but a lot of these teams
2807s felt comfortable keeping the rosters
2808s they've got and I mean GG definitely a
2810s team who you know
2812s they've always been on that that like
2813s edge of greatness they've always been
2815s one of our top teams but not the top
2817s team so it's almost at the point where
2819s it probably is better for them to keep
2820s what they've got and try and try and
2822s basically sort those issues anyway back
2824s into the game KLA actually looking to
2827s pick up even more kills they've had a
2828s really really good game of it so far I'm
2830s gonna have to portal out the problem is
2832s is they portaled right next to the Zone
2834s they are able to just move just out of
2837s the Shadow corruption and get themselves
2838s a heel back up after that fight did go a
2840s little bit wrong but now they're healed
2842s up and refreshed and out of the fight
2843s they're feeling comfortable to jump onto
2845s OC Slayer they find themselves in
2847s dangers a good little grapple hook
2848s actually comes in from Z Meng to make
2850s sure that Slayer doesn't get caught out
2851s and now qgg eats that Cannon shot right
2855s to the face and he is taking quite a
2857s little damage splashing in here from all
2859s of the long range for OC are going to be
2861s able to throw out onto him but for now
2863s it feels like they might just be dumb
2864s but wbg and GG find themselves inside
2868s the realm of Yang sleepwalker's already
2870s got one it's got miscarriage yeah can't
2872s quite get the slam down he's interrupted
2874s and Sleepwalk is going a little bit low
2875s here free for you trying to push him
2877s back both of these uh monks looking for
2881s the grass but unable to do so the
2882s traditional month Tom versus the
2884s traditional monk God just brawling it
2886s out here in the middle of that realm of
2888s Yang Sleepwalker unable to find that
2890s re-grab and wasn't able to get that slam
2892s but for free for yo it's starting to go
2894s a little bit low both of the monks are
2895s going to de-transform at this point and
2896s with the Transformations worn out it's
2897s gonna just come down so everybody
2899s playing without those ultimate up and
2901s available massive slam coming in though
2904s from Mist here as now it's on Fleetwood
2906s to try and save the day is GG have that
2909s man Advantage already taking a member
2911s out miskier just gonna heal themselves
2913s up while his team brawl out the rest is
2916s Jing and Sleepwalker low HP charging in
2919s with that pole sword from Miss Kia and
2921s he's able to take the win for his team
2923s yeah absolutely you know it looks like
2926s some of these teams have learned from
2927s their mistakes last season especially
2929s wbg wbg made a lot of mistakes coming in
2932s to these Realms of Yang with that
2934s Transformer comp last season where they
2936s would Munk Up but they would hold their
2938s UAE Sean old and end up getting double
2940s grabbed by the enemy monk comp even
2943s though they had the ability to make one
2945s player ungrabable and then they would
2947s end up losing those fights because of
2949s the double grab doing so much damage if
2951s you noticed it just before the Wall came
2953s down they immediately popped that you
2955s Asian alt so that they could come in and
2957s they weren't double grabbable right the
2959s kurumi being the only player grabbable
2961s by the monk there absolutely changes
2963s those fights up for the team it cuts the
2965s power of the monk in half in those
2968s particular instances and it's a very
2970s smart play coming out from wbg happy to
2972s see them learning from their mistakes
2974s from last season as we take a look here
2976s now to team at TK just on the side of uh
2979s even Thai temple up to the north side of
2981s the map here looking to hunt down a
2983s players here and I do believe is TK
2987s running Draco storm here
2990s thing
2992s um turn of events here I feel they must
2995s have gotten this from a box they weren't
2997s the ones fighting in realm of Yang
2998s correct no no they didn't uh reliang was
3001s uh xcg and Gigi so yeah that would have
3004s been from a uh Amorous blessing I assume
3006s but yeah you are right I mean because
3008s obviously there were changes Draco storm
3011s for pretty much the majority of last
3013s year was the only buff worth taking then
3015s when we got to Worlds and we had to run
3017s my yang we start to see changes that had
3019s gone to Mystic my and for Millions Birds
3021s might a lot of teams actually opted into
3023s those but it didn't feel like Dragon
3025s storm was bad or not really playable but
3028s it feels that nowadays most people just
3030s avoid that Draco storm it's not a bad
3032s buff to have right but it's not as good
3034s as the other two oh I mean the fact that
3037s uh miss it might now has the damage
3038s reduction which Draco storm used to have
3040s it obviously gives you the ability to
3042s kind of scout out without being seen
3043s yourself really really big might have to
3046s talk about that because battling wbg are
3047s finding themselves in a fight here both
3049s the monks have transformed ah a
3051s sleepwalker has got mailman against the
3053s wall here trying to get the cancer at PP
3055s maybe he might get slammed Sleepwalker
3057s will take him down they're making sure
3059s it's unable to happen double graph from
3062s Sleepwalker the damage is gonna get put
3064s onto the teams in the double slam Balor
3066s out
3067s yeah this is exactly what wbg needed
3069s here they're going to be able to pick up
3071s uh those Essences there from the Cairns
3075s and carry on get rid of that Yang
3076s depletion this puts wbg back into the
3079s game so we turn now to jdg who's on to
3082s team GGG GGG with that Vermillion Birds
3084s my ear uh but it looks like it's not
3087s doing them a ton of good here as they
3089s are down to just lxm here they wanted to
3091s take this fight they do pick up at least
3093s one elimination from this fight so they
3095s do put in work there with the vermilions
3097s they get some extra score onto the board
3099s but they are going to be forced to go
3101s respawn somewhere else and it's not
3103s quite the three eliminations they were
3105s looking for off the back of that buff as
3107s turning now to xcg here in the middle of
3110s celestra giving Chase to the last member
3112s of KZ here Jen goes extreme low goes to
3114s pop the yodel old but down on it very
3117s smart just backs off and immediately
3118s throws the cannon hit in but now KLA who
3121s has been making massive moves with third
3124s party's all game showing up here with a
3126s third party on to xcg and we're gonna
3128s see what other members go down John on
3130s extremely low here looks to be the last
3132s remaining member and that's going to be
3133s it and xcg not quite out of the fight
3136s yet because they do have that Vermillion
3138s Birds might but KLA going to be picking
3140s up a three more eliminations tying them
3142s with the likes of xcg I mean that's the
3145s thing is vermillion's birthday is a
3147s tough which is consequence free
3149s effectively because if you go down you
3151s don't really go down but there was a
3153s consequence here KLA now what you said
3154s have tied up on that score and they're
3157s not done they're hunting KZ right now
3159s fans in is currently being uh hunted
3161s inside that building Kelly I'm just
3163s gonna break away and redone with the
3164s rest of their team they do lose a player
3166s and actually swimming in in comes wbg
3168s cxd has thrown down the Viper Ultima but
3171s he is stunned and taken out by
3173s Sleepwalker we're able to find that
3175s pickup onto them in KLA now down I
3178s believe two of their members only got
3180s their Yoto left and they're in a real
3182s world of dangers you ran inside the mech
3185s here just hunting through the streets
3187s see if they can find their targets sad I
3190s need a couple of shots here on the side
3192s remember when you are in this V3 of the
3194s Pharaoh ultimate it isn't as tanky as uh
3197s as when it's safer using it in the in
3199s the uh f19 or the VTE V1 V2 complete
3203s there
3204s but that this has just been a graveyard
3207s look at all of the carrons around
3210s been an absolute Slaughter and it felt
3213s like you know when we lost two teams
3215s from the matches matches might feel a
3217s little bit slower because effectively
3218s the six less peoples have run into but
3221s this is still being an action-packed
3223s game these guys are hunting each other
3225s Fleet Walker the rest of the team are
3228s actually just gonna be looking to get
3230s themselves into this realm We're Young I
3231s feel like this is what the fight's about
3233s everybody wants to get there but wbg did
3235s just burn Jing's ultimate so I feel like
3237s they have no real interest in jumping
3240s into Aroma Yang when they don't know
3242s absolutely not we're going to talk about
3244s how Sleepwalker coming in there using
3246s that uh charge right click the uppercut
3248s there on the staff to cover wbg's Jing
3252s to buy him enough time to be able to pop
3254s that ultimate off there because even if
3256s he's not actually hitting somebody with
3258s that uppercut on the staff it will
3259s deflect those rain shots and with three
3261s other teams around looking to pick up
3263s the kill on Jing after the Resurrection
3265s comes through while he's low very very
3267s smart plays coming out from wbg
3269s Sleepwalker he's able to cover Jing Jing
3270s more than happy to just burn the old
3272s it's a reason Max up doesn't have to
3274s worry about being grabbed because he's
3275s inferior Mac right ferriumac also going
3278s to be pummeling big damage onto 330 and
3281s it staggers him here right can't be
3283s grabbed while he's in that particular
3285s mode on the max so 3 30. look at this he
3288s just jumps over the hand as well now he
3291s DMX he still has munkle right he can
3294s just come in here and God leak and monk
3296s up and there it is he gets double the
3298s transformational and we're going to see
3301s the Tamil come through so that they
3303s can't do anything about it 3 30 actually
3304s gonna push on to Godly though so he
3307s can't afford to make the slam come
3308s through and this is what we talk about
3310s with GG's 330 even at a disadvantage
3312s he's still one of the best one players
3314s in the league but he gets grabbed up
3315s here Venom tip on the repeating crossbow
3317s the slams gonna come through no he gets
3319s countered out of the slam he does find
3321s another pick on to GG's Alex said he's
3323s looking for the second base
3325s coming through it's big damage God lead
3327s going low but he's got the armor they
3329s look to clean this up and jjh now in a
3333s 3v1 Godly with a second barrier Mech
3338s comes through and they are going to take
3341s the realm of yang
3343s man I haven't seen someone cross the
3346s curse like that since Moxie Matt are you
3348s literally like the best monk in the
3350s league instantly grabbed like that was
3352s Moxie levels Acosta cursing someone dude
3355s ah you did him dirty but jjh are gonna
3359s get the Mystic Mike they are gonna win
3360s that realm of Yang uh I is there another
3364s really young or is there only one right
3366s now am I crazy there's only one so
3369s there's enough space for two teams to go
3372s in during stage one enough space
3374s um or sorry for four teams to go in
3376s during stage one enough space for two
3377s teams to go in during the same two
3379s Realms okay I am crazy yeah oh no that's
3382s a GS got one from from a uh Maura's
3384s blessing that's how they hit the Draco
3386s storm I was so confused for a moment
3387s there but GG now
3389s the disadvantage of the fact that
3392s they've got the uh the ramayan debuff on
3394s them they are three minutes 30 to hunt
3396s down a team and find themselves some
3397s kills so have to be very very aggressive
3400s off the back of this one you can see
3401s three three oh now looking to hunt down
3403s onto jdg he had a fair amount of damage
3405s off but kdg what kind of just
3407s gatekeeping the uh the ballista free for
3410s you gonna jump in he has that match
3411s available uh it's not the max sorry the
3413s uh the flesh Mech I guess it's gonna
3416s transform himself try and find the grab
3418s here but look at the repeating crossbows
3420s this is something we saw a lot at will
3421s it was teens picking up repeating can
3423s crossbows into monk just to get
3424s consistent damage onto them feeling very
3426s very comfortable is a LSR right now is
3429s actually going a little bit low Gigi 330
3431s trying to find the slam down onto one
3434s copy has been caught trying to get for
3436s that re-grab Miss gear almost finishing
3437s him up for copying low HP xcg stealing
3440s away the kill the musket shot but as
3442s long as they're able to get those Soul
3444s blue messages they will be able to
3445s survive for now but GG they now need to
3448s win another fight because they are being
3449s pushed up onto by xcg as this action is
3453s not done the soul blue messes is going
3455s to get taken by xcg as well so now an
3458s opportunity from GG has been denied with
3461s two minutes 30 left and the shots coming
3463s in from the ballister three Frio is in
3466s danger but he gets bumped back and sent
3468s away and that is jdg out as GS able to
3471s finish them off and we are down three
3474s teams already but GG I think they were
3478s denied pretty heavily there
3480s yeah GG absolutely getting Blitz down
3483s there the thing is GG still with that uh
3486s Yang depletion I do believe ticking it
3489s down onto them unless yeah there we go a
3490s minute and 56 seconds left remaining
3492s they need to find a fight and go ahead
3494s and get that Yang depletion gone it
3497s looks like 3 30 might have been able to
3499s get rid of it might have found a Karen
3501s to get a soul Bloom Essence off of but
3503s the rest of the team still ticking down
3505s as we take a look here 3 30 over here
3508s with the legendary staff continuing it
3511s to move across the map we take a look
3512s AOW up above we are zone three getting
3515s ready to collapse on to zone for a
3518s minute and 30 left remaining on the Yang
3521s depletion as you see in the left-hand
3523s Corner we take a look as Gigi gonna
3526s Force the fight here with the likes of
3528s AOW they really don't have the choice
3530s 330 with the flesh Mech back up yet
3533s again gonna be coming in here looking to
3536s pop onto the grabs here but Ping Tao
3538s gonna also popped that monkey in his
3540s face this year and they do have the uh
3542s old available as well so things start to
3545s turn sideways for AOW they are going to
3548s be able to deny the double grab pinktow
3551s actually finds the grab on to miss yay
3553s there from Team GG and 3 30 half health
3556s and dwindling is slowly dying out even
3559s though Ping Tao with only a blue weapon
3562s here for the transformation just not
3564s enough damage coming through from the
3565s likes of Team GG karumi using that
3568s tether to keep Ping Tao in the game and
3571s now GG miskia really the only one who
3574s has the only one option for saving uh
3577s Team GG here he's got to put in a lot of
3579s work to buy an opening for team GG so
3582s we're gonna see aow's
3584s um Wukong there it takes some huge hits
3587s from istia but just able to heal
3588s straight through it lxm coming in from
3591s GG there's other kids trying to lock
3593s some players down miskia taking some
3595s hits and we're gonna see the old D go
3597s down here and also get another
3609s is Out 3 30 is low it's a 2v3 330 goes
3614s down lxm versus the two remaining
3616s members of AOW alexm no place to go and
3619s AOW comes out on top and that's the Rama
3622s Yang for you it bites you in the back
3624s they got two Karens but one of them
3626s remember was taken I Believe by xdg and
3630s that just denied them so so hard the
3632s Morris blessing are just a swarm in it
3634s just got a big one uh swarm obviously
3637s being
3638s one of those really really solid late
3640s game ranged options it's kind of just
3642s Mega Cannon it's probably the best way
3643s to word it ewg I believe are the ones to
3646s pick up the uh the goodies in there got
3649s that golden armor on to uh one of their
3651s players to TYC
3654s I I'm not actually sure how you say that
3656s name I'm just gonna say two two I see uh
3658s but there you go with that Rama Yang
3660s we'll just be able to kind of spray down
3662s onto onto GS here
3664s still got 30 players left in the lobby
3666s it's if the games move very quickly but
3669s there's still seven minutes left almost
3671s eight minutes until the circle fully
3672s closes out so there's still plenty of
3674s time and it feels almost fitting that
3678s our first trios game is gonna end here
3680s at the shadow Jay mines it feels like so
3682s many trivia games always come to the
3684s shadow Jay mine I I don't know why I
3686s don't know why there's not like a code
3688s that leans in that favor it just feels
3690s like a lot of them do seem to end up
3692s here
3693s so it's going to be a very very exciting
3695s ending a lot of terrain to work with and
3697s nowhere near as many pharaohs as I
3699s thought coming into this I I'm surprised
3701s by the amount of just strictly
3703s traditional monk comps we've got versus
3706s you know the uh this is the amount of
3709s pharaohs coming in as like a answer or
3711s an addition to those monk comps
3714s yeah you know I think there's going to
3715s be a lot of experimentation going on and
3717s again I think some of these teams are
3719s running that traditional monk comp with
3721s the idea that they're going to run Feria
3723s as a completely separate Transformers
3724s comp right so that they can maintain
3727s those hero points and still get to use
3731s um you know the full-on monk comp as
3733s many times as they would like here so
3735s it's going to be interesting to see how
3736s the teams kind of shake things up
3738s because if you're putting Feria into the
3740s monk comp while I think it's very strong
3741s because the monk as we saw with the jjh
3744s they've just been able to go ahead and
3746s put Godly in that Mech all the time and
3749s not have to force them Uncle all the
3751s time and it served them very well they
3754s are sitting currently in third place in
3755s the lobby all of their members still
3757s alive here but it's gonna be heavy on
3760s the hero points because they can't
3761s really build an entire other comp around
3764s Feria to run with it
3766s they're going to be forced kind of into
3767s those two traditional comps and then
3769s maybe have to play kind of a wacky comp
3771s one game out of their six so they're
3774s really going to be banking on those
3775s Feria games to put as many points on the
3778s board as humanly possible uh going
3780s forward because of the way the hero
3782s Point rules work team teach K down here
3784s doing the classic uh uh mid game comp
3788s for the Transformers they're using the
3789s temi old to just go and buy themselves a
3791s box into the late game get that
3793s legendary armor and gear that they're
3794s looking for team ug kind of put
3796s themselves in time out in the corner
3798s over here as even though they're forced
3800s to burn the crew meal and sit there uh
3802s they are taking a ton of damage from
3803s range OG's the king who also played in
3807s solos yesterday here in trios getting
3809s bounced around team GS here taking a lot
3812s of damage from what looks like a
3814s Ballista they do finally find a corner
3816s they can sit in where they're not
3817s standing in the zone and that ballista
3819s looks like it can't hit them turning now
3821s to oug top side here with the monk comp
3824s unfortunately that temio block them from
3826s really being able to throw grabs out
3828s obg's SS is just going to be forced to
3830s De monk here looks for the reset they do
3833s have The High Ground which they
3834s desperately don't want to give up here
3836s but unfortunately they do have to waste
3839s the Ulta there because the teniel just
3840s keeps them from putting any pressure
3841s onto these other teams
3844s now I'm gonna be able to hail back up
3846s five minutes left and 29 players you've
3849s only lost one since we last talked about
3850s it all of these scenes spread out across
3852s the multiple kind of areas of
3854s verticality here at the shadow Jay mines
3857s this is actually
3859s a very hard one to be the monkey because
3861s there's so many uh there's so many
3863s opportunities to like find cover like
3865s exactly where TK are you know Monk's not
3867s really gonna be able to grab you without
3868s dropping down to your level
3870s so it I reckon for now it's gonna be
3872s very based on just that kind of range
3874s token harass as a xdgr gonna find
3876s himself in a fight here versus AOW pink
3878s Tau and Shannon have monked up for the
3881s moment as a atilly Sheldon walks into
3884s the face of uh GS and this here is just
3887s a battle for The High Ground
3888s if maybe they can knock uh pinktow back
3890s into the Zone they can do some chip
3892s damage to him but he seems to be
3893s standing far enough forward but he's not
3894s really going to get affected is that
3896s actually pinktow's able to knock a monk
3898s back into the Zone himself look at the
3899s damage going in on the tigato is uh
3903s looks like has found himself a grab
3905s Slayer also looking for a cheeky grab
3906s off in the side there's a Jato actually
3908s very low HP Slayer unable to find these
3911s grabs these opportunities as he D
3913s transforms himself has got the kurumi
3915s Teva and umbrella there to make sure
3916s that he's going to be nice and safe
3917s because you're just going to drop down
3920s to that low ground don't feel
3921s comfortable now that it lost that monk
3922s transformation
3923s everybody throwing out a lot of these
3925s Transformations but nobody really under
3927s any real threat here I'm gonna see xcg
3929s uh pharah going for the transform here
3931s get that Mech out and ready to kind of
3933s shoot onto these monks and stagger them
3935s as GS I've got themselves kind of with
3937s their backs to the wall against the uh
3939s against the shadow corruption lovely
3941s grab into double slam coming in from
3943s ewg's new player here there's a lot of
3946s damage reigning in back onto them as the
3948s uh ferret up in the sky floating around
3950s trying to get some shots off you've got
3952s double backs here also just raining fire
3954s down on that to these monks but with the
3956s kurumi satever and hail it does feel
3958s like these monks have a fair amount of
3960s Health to work thrown down into the
3961s ground there's good little stagger that
3963s is immediately gonna get grabbed by Ping
3965s Tao he's got one he's got two he's got
3967s the slam he's able to take one down
3969s meanwhile here in the low ground with
3971s the bats in the zone getting knocked
3973s back it looks like KZ are just in a
3976s whole world of her xcg absolutely
3979s ruining their day also taking out ewg
3982s xcg just coming in for an absolutely
3985s colossal number of kills up to the 14
3988s marks having a phenomenal game for
3990s themselves they're about to get the
3991s sandstorm available as well meanwhile a
3994s little bit lower down Sleepwalk is able
3996s to find himself a grab here onto one is
3998s gonna de-transform there's so many
4000s Transformers there's so many Megs and
4003s monks just going everywhere it's Carnage
4006s it's impossible to see us PP is gonna be
4008s put to bed by the king as he is slain
4012s and taken down 16 players remaining one
4015s minute left and there is the verticality
4018s is pretty much done and redundant
4020s sandstorms coming out as well to buy a
4022s little bit more space and block on the
4024s to these monsters yeah they need to be
4025s careful versus this pharamek here is
4027s going to de-transform and needs to get
4029s out in time looks like they're gonna be
4030s able to do so meanwhile on the low
4032s ground OG losing a phenomenal amount of
4034s Health as everybody like sharks like
4037s smelling blood in the water leaping
4039s forwards OG are able to just about live
4041s their way out for jjh not gonna be able
4043s to do do the same as they are eliminated
4045s from this game ACG sound and holding
4049s this High ground and using the cannon to
4050s just Farm up that rage so they can get
4052s the transformation through as ping town
4055s now on the low ground looking for the
4056s grabs onto AOW has got Jing will be able
4059s to finish him up with AOW able to find
4062s himself a wvg member here absolute
4065s Carnage with 50 seconds left 10 sorry 12
4068s players left in this game Ping Tao
4071s taking a fair amount of cannon shots
4072s here from Jordan who's 56 of the way
4075s towards getting that monk transformation
4076s he wants a little bit more time to
4077s Sleepwalker from wbg gonna go for the
4080s transformation on The High Ground
4081s looking for the grab unable to get it
4082s but look at the amount of damage and
4084s shots he's going to be taking it's just
4085s gonna decide
4086s he wants to drop to the low ground but
4088s he's there with pink Tower that's a
4090s pretty dangerous position as the
4091s sandstorm has come out finds himself a
4093s grab onto uh Knight HQ should just be
4096s able to get the slam down onto him but
4098s Sleepwalker going very very low on HP
4100s the Zone's got everybody closed up this
4103s probably is just going to the end
4104s Sleepwalker it's taking names he does go
4108s down but not before taking half the
4110s goddamn lobby with him pink towel being
4113s nailed here by acg's Knight HQ and xcg
4116s should just be able to take the W in the
4119s first game of the day
4122s I absolutely love this Jake I love when
4127s I have a theory about a comp that I
4129s think is gonna be very strong coming
4131s into the season and then a team like xcg
4133s just comes in and absolutely proves that
4136s theory right we were just talking about
4139s it before this game the Feria coming in
4142s and being able to use the V3 to cover
4146s for the monk instead of the second
4148s Transformer because what's better than
4150s having a second Transformer cover for
4152s the monk is being able to give the monk
4154s a second transformation and we see that
4157s come through the mech absolutely it you
4160s know it's turned into a Kaiju fight here
4162s in the entire systems it's it's
4164s literally just monks versus Mex baby
4166s it's it's it's the Power Rangers trying
4168s to fight off uh the big bad monster at
4171s the end of the episode you know
4173s transforming into the Megazord just
4175s going absolutely ham and xcg proved that
4178s they were the real Power Rangers at the
4180s end of this match just absolutely
4181s dumpstering all of these other monk
4184s teams and some of these classic you know
4185s monk players like 330 and wbg
4188s Sleepwalker they had a little you know
4191s highlights on their monkey or that of
4193s course being because they are some of
4195s those best monk players that exist in
4197s this league that's what they excel at
4199s doing but unfortunately into these other
4201s comps where Feria is able to cover these
4203s other monks it just was not enough
4206s no it was it really wasn't that was a uh
4209s that was a very interesting game
4211s actually just um I expected to see more
4214s Feria coming in and like you said
4216s there's probably gonna be with the hero
4218s points and stuff there'll be some teams
4220s who adjust and change the game plan uh
4223s I'm excited to see what game two looks
4224s like obviously you're not a horror off a
4226s different map I got a map where and then
4228s we talked to quite a lot of Worlds about
4230s actually it was how holler off is a map
4232s where it feels like more final circles
4234s don't favor monkman do but teams Out
4236s World still really favored using that
4238s month
4239s um but it feels like you know on Morris
4241s Isle there's a lot of fun on circus
4243s where monks can do but interestingly
4244s enough I don't think this was
4246s particularly the best Monk Final Circle
4247s because it was just so much verticality
4249s and so much cover they just kind of
4251s didn't matter because everyone was so
4252s big it was just so many big targets to
4254s shoot at but if they weren't fighting
4256s grabbed they were just punching of
4258s amongst it was it was it was a a Tavern
4260s Brawl for Monsters it was a um
4263s it was a very interesting game uh I'm
4266s interested to see you know whatever
4268s consists do arise or if we are purely in
4271s the Pacific Rim meta uh I like that and
4273s I think we will coin this
4276s if that is gonna be the state then you
4279s know maybe if I had to click it out or
4280s maybe monkeys looking out I've been
4281s saying monkeys looking out for well
4283s since I started casting this game uh
4285s that Hero has been dominant since day
4288s one uh but you know I think on the other
4291s hand you know I'm curious to see you
4293s know will yodo's have a place in the
4294s matter or are they are they kind of dumb
4296s now or there's just always too much I
4298s can deal with them you know the Monk's
4300s still being able to grab Yoto out of her
4301s ultimate means but she's not that great
4303s into the monk anymore uh for a while
4306s people used to think she was very good
4307s because of the ability to um
4310s the ability to kind of Dash away and
4311s Dodge but monks have just kind of got
4313s their timing down so they can pluck Yoto
4314s out of the sky now basically hassling
4317s her ultimate and making her redundant so
4319s it'll be interesting to see you know
4320s what changes happen What The Meta kind
4322s of shapes out to look like but here's
4324s the scores for our first game of trios
4326s xdg with 37 points they got 20 kills a
4332s 20 bomb to kick us off an absolutely
4336s killer game coming in from xcg AOW were
4340s just behind them uh with I said just
4342s behind them were massively behind them
4344s in second with 17 points and then wbg
4346s with that 14 points everyone else you
4349s know still points on the board no Donuts
4351s coming in for any of these teams but man
4354s what a game for xcg
4356s yeah absolutely xcg just coming out of
4359s the gate here and you know no surprises
4361s xcg was one of those teams that's always
4364s top three no matter what season we've
4367s seen them in right you know season one
4368s season two or worlds they're kind of
4370s always towards the top of the order in
4372s these matches their team you just can't
4374s sleep on they execute their decision
4377s making and their skills very well and
4381s sometimes it is more about that
4383s consistency and we've seen that as xcg
4385s was able to claim multiple bi-weekly
4387s finals off the back of getting there and
4390s just putting in consistent games and
4392s then having one big pop-off moment and
4394s today they just decided to come out
4395s swinging I mean we're in remember they
4397s won season two yeah they were they were
4399s all champions in season two everybody
4400s had I think it was WBZ won the first one
4404s and it was yzg who we had our attention
4407s on being the team to watch in season two
4409s and like the team that we're gonna take
4411s it all and wvg uh sorry xcg just came in
4415s huge they they look really really solid
4417s and um yeah they they took the they took
4420s the season to uh finals and and did win
4423s that season
4424s coming into Worlds again a pretty good
4426s performance from them it was obviously J
4428s team who denied them from being at the
4430s top as JT man absolutely kill a world
4432s championship but xcg are definitely not
4434s a team to ride off you know
4436s they might not be able to hold the world
4437s championship but they did win the last
4439s mbpl and they came in with something to
4442s prove today I mean that first game was
4444s then very much saying we are still the
4447s best team in the region we are the guys
4449s to watch it 37 points I mean I'm not
4452s gonna argue of a 20 bomb in the first
4453s game but here is our MVP for game number
4457s one is a link I always struggle this guy
4462s there I've got a ling hen but that is
4463s not how you say that name I'm sorry
4466s hang thank you uh 33k damage coming in
4470s seven kills 10 assists honesty
4475s 33k damage it's good
4478s but we still higher we can do better I
4480s want to see bigger numbers than a 20
4482s bomb but yeah I mean really good stuff
4484s in on that Tammy he's he is coming
4486s through as the MVP as the support player
4489s though right you know yeah he is there
4491s just to buy the monk some safety to buy
4494s Feria you know some safety so that all
4496s those rain shots don't come through so
4498s that they can block the other monk hands
4500s and he still manages to put seven
4502s eliminations on the board and 10 assists
4505s that's like 88 kill participation here
4509s in the first game for the support player
4512s yes he's out here doing his job dropping
4514s the old but also making sure he's
4516s pumping out extra damage so that as soon
4519s as those other players are ready to
4520s secure kills they can drop those kills
4523s very easily and that's what makes a very
4526s very good support player here in the
4529s nbpl you can't rest on the fact that
4531s okay I popped my ability I'm good now I
4533s just kind of float around you have to be
4535s out there putting in work if your monk
4537s lands grabs you need swapping through
4539s those range weapons and putting in
4540s damage so that they can secure those
4542s kills if you're fairly a monk or pops up
4546s and manages to fling somebody across the
4548s map you need to be ready to Grapple in
4550s and follow up and have those whiffs also
4553s to buy yourself and exit back out so you
4556s can regroup with your team and if you
4558s notice when we were watching xcg that's
4560s exactly what the temmie was doing
4561s anytime a kill got very low he would
4563s actually separate from his team to
4565s secure the kill use the F to buy himself
4567s some space and then regroup with the
4570s team he was going out and making sure
4572s that the work that his two damage
4574s dealing players were putting in was
4576s paying off and because of that they walk
4578s away with the 20 mom and a 37 point game
4581s one
4583s phenomenal of game number one coming in
4585s from xcg uh I mean what can I say that
4587s sandstorm's got hands I guess like
4589s Landing so much work for his team and
4592s you know it's nice to see the supports
4594s get their uh get their MVPs because
4596s typically those kind of players uh don't
4598s really get that but really really big
4600s stuff coming in from them I'm excited to
4602s see what game two looks like because
4603s obviously we're going to holler off
4605s um
4605s I've I've I feel
4608s I prefer barrier on this map to the Monk
4611s on this map if that makes sense so maybe
4612s we might see the solo various comps come
4614s out in this game or you know the idea in
4618s my head is very much you run what you
4619s run with Yoto but you just put Faria in
4622s instead of area and instead I'm excited
4624s to see you know is this gonna be the one
4626s because because the difference is is
4627s that Mech has quite a lot of Mobility
4629s versus the monk the monkeys
4631s what what is the limiting factor of the
4633s monkeys the monkey is slow it's clunky
4635s it can't go through doors it doesn't
4637s jump very high I mean we did see one
4639s Vault over that big tree route the
4640s beginning of the last game but
4641s realistically you know monkeys monk is
4644s limited by his like a Mobility very I
4646s Can Fly the back of the men can take off
4648s and just hover above the fight and kind
4650s of rain Rockets down on everyone so when
4652s we get on to holler up I'm curious to
4654s see what the what the game looks like
4655s and I feel like if we just see more of
4658s the same that might answer the question
4660s of is this a little bit broken I'm going
4662s to tell you the answer right now yeah
4664s yeah it's it's it's it's a bit
4667s unreasonable at the moment uh but you
4669s know I have been complaining about monks
4671s since day one I think I think the guy
4673s the guy needs the guy needs humbling I
4676s know you're a big monster ever and so
4677s you know you might not want to hear this
4678s but yeah I think well the big thing with
4681s monkey is he requires
4683s he he requires support to pop off though
4686s right honestly if he doesn't have his
4688s team are you trying to tell me the
4689s supports are broken is that what you're
4690s trying to say no no it's not monk it's
4693s the support the support to make him
4695s really strong it's it's no it's the
4697s supports that enable the monk to be
4700s strong right because the monk by himself
4703s like you said he has issues he's slow
4705s he's clunky he doesn't have alert a lot
4707s of verticality it's very hard to get
4709s those hands around terrain he
4713s to be able to enable his grabs and he
4715s needs people to cover for him because
4716s when he comes out of the old he's
4718s extremely vulnerable that's why we see
4720s Faria coming in giving her Mech to the
4722s monk player right that's why we see
4724s temmie use an entire old just to defend
4727s the monk even while the monk is in his
4730s old he needs to be defended or a kurumi
4733s tether tethering and healing him the
4735s entire time right we saw it yesterday we
4738s actually had a player lock in a monk for
4740s game number six and he just gets
4743s obliterated right he doesn't pick up a
4745s single elimination and he's like the
4747s first player to go out in the game
4748s because monk by himself can't enable his
4753s own you know damage to come out he needs
4756s to be able to pick up those double grabs
4757s and if he can't when he picks up the
4759s single grabs he needs somebody else to
4761s be pumping damage onto that so that he
4763s can guarantee the kill with the first
4765s slam because it's very hard to get that
4769s slam out and pick up the immediate
4770s regrab we do see these Pro players do it
4773s pretty often but you're talking about
4775s some of the best players in the world
4777s and they are just playing the hand that
4780s they've been dealt so to speak uh he
4783s needs that enabling to be such a good
4785s hero and that's why Feria coming into
4788s the meta has been so good because she
4790s gives him a better option to cover that
4793s d-transformation right we we saw it you
4796s a Sean's great but you Asian's only
4798s covering you by jumping on you and
4801s trying to keep players off of your face
4802s where Feria goes here just have another
4804s transformation you know it's like going
4807s from Godzilla to mechagodzo at the end
4810s of the day
4812s oh man
4814s it was weird because obviously when
4816s fairy got announced I was like
4818s I I'm not sure how I feel about the
4820s novel Transformer Transformers are
4821s already a problem are we just giving
4823s another one and I didn't see the V3 at
4825s the time so I was like oh she kind of
4827s counters him this is cool this is
4829s actually an answer to Transformers where
4830s there's just like another Transformers
4832s comp as well
4834s I I'm not sure how I feel about them
4836s joining forces this is this is this is
4838s probably the worst case scenario now
4840s like but it is a cool it is a cool idea
4843s and a way to kind of keep the monk alive
4844s and I guess you know
4846s and they will use every tool in their in
4848s their uh wheelhouse to keep monk alive
4850s that is that is the game plan I'm
4853s wondering if we'll see like the return
4854s of the just unicorns because for a long
4856s time before
4857s um
4858s before we Chen
4860s joined uh the Yoto teams you had Justina
4864s it was Justina Viper and then Yoto and
4867s the idea was you just crowd control the
4869s hell out of uh out of Monk and his uh
4873s and his teammates but they can't keep
4875s that to say nothing and Yoto is free to
4877s fire because I think the biggest problem
4878s like I said was when Yoto old mom could
4881s just clock around the sky like picking
4883s an apple off a tree and then just slam
4884s him on the ground uh like like they're a
4886s rotted apples so having the Justina in
4889s there
4889s you lose the safety of the wuchen to get
4891s you out of a bad fight but at the end of
4893s the day you also have the capability to
4895s basically just permal lock the monk down
4897s because if I remember right monk has
4899s like uh he has like the he can be Frozen
4902s more for longer I believe or more
4905s commonly not commonly or uh
4909s more times in a row than other people
4911s can because of his size due to Justina
4913s so there is a world where these comps
4916s could just return or does the world
4918s where we just see more uh Pacific Rim
4920s and I think that might be the game
4922s yeah it looks like we're gonna see a lot
4924s of these comps and look at the
4925s adjustments here many of these teams now
4928s swapping the ferry in to the comp right
4931s and continuing it to bring in the temi
4934s to cover for both of them because it
4936s just buys you so much space to be able
4938s to block all the other monks from even
4941s being able to throw hands at your team
4943s it's so good for this particular comp
4946s and I think we're gonna see quite a lot
4948s of this coming through we do still have
4950s four games after this and you can only
4952s play this comp so many times because of
4954s the hero Point rule so I do think we are
4957s going to potentially see some other team
4959s comps come in but most of these teams
4962s probably not going to opt to swap into
4964s them until of course they're kind of
4965s forced to buy that hero Point rule
4967s because uh if it ain't broke don't fix
4969s it exactly
4971s I still want to put a uh a complete side
4973s tangent in here but also I want to vote
4975s for KLA to have the best logo or icon of
4978s the uh of the league
4979s a big fan of the Kawana what can I say
4982s it looks like as we all take a look at
4984s the spread of where people are dropping
4985s obviously with 14 teams these Maps can
4988s look a little bit less scattered
4990s um a little less clustered but there is
4992s a fairly large class cluster down at
4993s Imperial Village so a bunch of teams
4995s over here and actually right in the
4996s center of the map xcg I'll find
4998s themselves in a fight Slayer gets
5000s roundhouse kicked off the top as giannon
5003s pops the Bell and the unable to grab
5004s himself an item Ming with the pole sword
5006s probably just gonna make easy work of
5008s him and down goes one of the members
5009s already oh see winning the fight for
5013s this area pretty whole-handedly here as
5015s uh xcg are able to get the revive off
5017s potentially here actually are able to do
5019s so instantly grapple in and they can
5021s just Farm down them for extra points
5023s because he is not going to get healing
5024s or anything done in time he's got no
5025s weapons he's managed to grab a shield at
5027s best but he is in danger as he is
5031s desperately trying to climb up the wall
5032s and get away has now got a musket to
5033s work with as a xcg now I'm just trying
5036s to heal up their uh their downed member
5038s who went down straight away
5040s yeah matab here is a very interesting
5042s spawn for a lot of these teams there's
5044s so much verticality it's very easy to
5046s end up griefing yourself with
5047s positioning when so many teams spawn
5050s here you kind of can get yourself locked
5051s and corridors are bad positions where
5053s other teams just have an overview on you
5055s and you have no vision on them but xcg
5058s has been able to escape the halls there
5060s I love John on coming here using the
5062s Bell to actually cover for an ihq who've
5064s got parried out of that charge right
5066s click from the great sword but Jowan
5068s comes in and says now you're not gonna
5069s get that repost we're going to let an
5071s ihq get that weapon back up and there we
5072s go they finally get that charge right
5074s click that they're looking for a Slayer
5076s trying to win the 1v2 here and ihq gonna
5079s miss that charged right click but it
5081s will let the overlord rip there and to
5084s pick up the elimination but now we're
5086s gonna see if variomet come in has aow's
5089s Ping Tao shows up xcg gonna be forced to
5092s go ahead and monk up here and we do see
5094s another Mech filler sitting down below
5097s somebody's gonna be able to drop into
5099s that very soon and get things rolling
5102s question is is it xcgs there it is it is
5104s gonna be xcgs down on gonna go ahead and
5106s use that transformation to come through
5108s on to the Mac AOW trying to give xcg the
5113s business here but xcg's having none of
5115s it at the back of a huge performance in
5118s game one they are ready to just keep
5120s things rolling links in here very very
5122s low they need to tap very soon there it
5124s is an ihq covering getting the tap up
5127s sorry giannon coverings so the Knight HQ
5129s can get the tap and get their player
5131s back into the game xcg here has seen two
5134s of their members die they've been able
5136s to cover pickup eliminations and get
5138s those resurrections all of them still
5140s with their basic Resurrection available
5143s here it looks like xcg is more than
5146s ready to continue pushing onto this
5148s looking for those eliminations and it
5151s looks like lingington very low but AOW
5153s holding on for tier life here as Tong
5156s just keeps moving this was talking about
5158s there's so much verticality here so many
5162s little nooks and crannies to go into
5163s sometimes you can end up griefing
5165s yourself and we'll see Tong here come
5167s down to the bottom where it's very very
5168s open and there's not a lot of exits
5170s available there's a lot of lines of
5172s sight it's hard to slip away when you're
5174s in the bottom of top like that and we
5176s see them get eliminated there by the
5178s likes of xcg with seven eliminations
5181s under the belt already
5182s and GG looking to see if they can find
5185s the opportunity to come in and maybe
5187s third party this fight Miss Kia waiting
5189s in the wings there goes the mech
5191s transformation on to Jen actually it's
5193s gonna be Jen in the mech switching out
5195s onto Malvern now just using that
5197s stationary stance to try and get those
5199s Harpoon shots off he's actually just
5201s gonna load up onto the high ground and
5202s just rain down now onto Mountain
5205s bowder picking a fair amount of damage
5208s here but still GG I'm not pulling the
5211s trigger I'm jumping in ewg have the uh
5213s the flank onto gen here Jen's gonna
5215s d-mac and immediately get swarmed here
5218s and it looks like GG are going to say
5220s it's opportunity they want to come in
5221s with a third party Jen able to find one
5223s already for their team as GG's 3-30 is
5226s gonna get bought back here comes the
5228s Yoto ultimate one slash on to three
5230s three oh second slash as well they
5232s should just be able to finish up 3PO
5233s nice and easy the Wu Shen out GG wants
5236s nothing to do with that a really
5238s misfortunate third party and it
5239s backfired horribly for them
5242s yeah absolutely ewg here still looking
5245s up over the hill here Allen to KLA
5247s waiting to see if they're going to take
5249s this engagement or not they are down a
5251s couple of ultimates though so they need
5252s to be very careful Scala looks to have
5255s all of their ultimates available to them
5257s here in order to see qgg here taking
5259s some rain shots from ewg but ewg still
5262s not really willing to risk the push onto
5264s this here qgg their Transformer with the
5267s purple armor here we are going to see UW
5269s G takes a massive rain shots uh and be
5273s forced to go ahead and throw those
5274s wuchen wind walls down to buy themselves
5276s the space to get a reset and KLA here
5279s doesn't want to try to force this fight
5281s they only have one elimination under
5282s their belt but they want to continue
5284s looking for gear and looking towards
5286s these Realms of Yang which are getting
5288s ready to spawn as Zone one collapses
5290s down on to zone two take a look now to
5292s jdg JDT uh Kopi still with the white
5296s armor there looks like they're
5298s struggling to find some more gear for
5300s the team wbg over here year in plumed
5303s Castle looking at to find maybe an exit
5307s from this fight here with the likes of
5309s AOW or sorry no that's team GS I
5312s apologize in the background here but wbg
5315s finding a little bit of Loot on the wins
5317s and GS also looking to back off the
5319s action seems to be cooling down as we
5322s head forward here into Zone one
5324s collapsing on to zone two those Realms
5327s of Yang like I said getting ready to
5328s come through and Hyper important
5329s especially for all these Transformers
5331s teams who are so reliant on the gear to
5334s make their Transformers work right you
5336s know the monk transformation the HP
5338s being based on what tier of armor that
5340s they have and of course the amount of
5342s damage that they do with the single and
5344s double slams being based on which weapon
5346s they have in hand when they transform
5349s and what tier that weapon is so these
5352s Realms of Yang not only buy them a space
5354s where they can just fight freely without
5356s the worry of third party they
5358s immediately get their olds back which is
5360s exactly what the Transformer comps are
5361s looking for but they win those Realms of
5363s Yang they also get that purple set of
5366s armor a purple weapon and some other
5368s goodies that they desperately need
5370s moving forward into the match to kind of
5372s fuel that Transformer comp
5375s yeah absolutely
5377s does feel like
5379s it's probably going to get a bit of a
5380s back seat in the action until these
5382s Roman yangs come up curious to see what
5384s teams do take that fight got 90 seconds
5385s so not too long until those do come
5388s forward and we actually see TK and OC in
5390s a fight here both of the uh monks have
5392s gone to the transformation they throw
5394s down the mech as well so that is going
5396s to be up and available to them and for
5398s now
5399s does just feel like Slayer kind of
5400s gatekeeping TK away for the moment
5402s looking for the grab they actually able
5404s to get one there a lot of damage in zeng
5406s I mean zeng's gone no they're able to
5409s interrupt Zhang's able to just about get
5411s out see Man On The Run finally going
5413s down Ali able to get them as another
5415s grab coming in sad is honestly on point
5417s with these now looking to stop Slayer
5420s slams do come down though and now it's
5422s on to them to try and get onto that Mech
5424s as quick as possible I don't know who
5425s owns it but it doesn't look like sad's
5428s even that fast for now so I don't think
5429s it's gonna be his as OC desperately
5432s trying to win this fight out as TK has
5434s to somehow
5436s well find the last two kills and they
5438s should be able to do so
5439s nice job there from OC to try and get a
5441s little bit of additional damage on the
5442s side get the counter off gets a whole
5444s bunch of follow-up damage just getting
5446s the armor recovery but honestly really
5448s clean stuff coming in from this OC
5450s player sad switching out to the cannon
5452s trying to sustain up at the moment it
5453s looks like the rest of TK are gonna be
5455s able to come in and eliminate OC from
5457s this game
5459s yeah really smart plays here by team TK
5461s though sad here letting those blue rip
5464s multiple times into the face of that
5466s player and OC and actually getting
5468s punished for it if this had been an
5469s equal fight earlier on where sad wasn't
5472s transformed up there that could have
5473s cost them pretty heavily but it does
5476s mean right now TK is Sans monkey so
5478s they're not gonna be able to head in to
5480s these Realms of being it looks like KLA
5481s is going to be going up against GS and
5483s team KC going to be going up against the
5486s current Lobby leaders xcg we're gonna
5488s see this fight between KLA and GS go
5491s down the instantaneous transforms coming
5493s through there from the monks the mech
5495s pillars also going to land there to
5497s cover the monks when they come out
5500s I want to see you in the hands of qgg
5502s but Q at GG uh gonna take a ton of
5505s damage here GS already gonna grab the
5508s mech now qgg going to grab his mcnality
5510s he's been forced out of the
5512s transformation unfortunately Cala on the
5514s back foot is yck has been eliminated but
5516s they will pick up the elimination onto
5519s the other monk player here so KLA needs
5521s to be careful and there it is gets
5523s pushed into the wind wall the temmie
5526s buys the elimination onto kla's Monk and
5528s GS is back into the fight and will win
5531s the realm of Yang and it looks like KZ
5533s also takes the realm of Yang from the
5536s likes of our current Lobby leaders xcg
5539s so xcg now gonna be on a four minute
5542s timer they need to go ahead and find
5544s themselves some of the Soul Bloom
5546s Essences very quickly if they want to
5548s stay in this game
5551s blessing in the middle of that so
5552s they're rocking the Draco storm
5554s feels kind of very short cooldown is is
5556s the Morris blessing boss shorter as
5558s Draco storm just really short now
5561s uh Draco storm has always been slightly
5563s shorter than the duration of the Buffs
5565s that's the significantly shorter though
5568s really really short but we'll see maybe
5570s those you can do something with it still
5571s yeah a good combat buff to have
5574s for now
5576s I was just watching oh AOW
5580s because they are just going to Traverse
5581s around and try and find himself maybe
5583s some other loot currently only really
5585s rocking blue weapons and a few Blue
5587s Shields and stuff so they definitely
5589s want to get some better gear put
5590s together
5591s wpg might be looking for a
5594s quick jump onto KZ but obviously with
5596s the millions birds mate okay Z
5598s definitely feeling a little bit more
5600s comfortable right now
5602s I've got those ultimates up and
5604s available as well so it'll be very hard
5606s to actually take a fight versus KZ in
5608s the current standing and honestly this
5610s game this second game definitely feels a
5612s lot more relaxed a lot more uh calm than
5615s that first game the first game was
5616s Carnage man I hate to cut you off here
5619s do you see what xcg is doing
5621s no
5622s so xcg went and let two of their players
5626s just go ahead and die and bought rebirth
5628s charms to resurrect them to get rid of
5631s the Yang depletion
5634s oh that's really big
5636s that's a really big brain
5640s so AOW in a fight here versus jjh but
5644s look it's just disengage for the moment
5646s we are going to see the mech
5647s transformation come out from Godly jdg
5649s are also in the area reigning damage
5651s down paint out low HP already the
5654s sandstorms coming up to try and buy some
5656s spaces Pink's house gonna jump into the
5657s Met because he lost way too much health
5659s is gonna need to find a way to sustain
5661s an above shooting through the middle of
5663s the sandstorm Godly Landing those
5665s beautiful little Harpoon shops there's
5667s pink towels taking a lot of damage d-mac
5669s comes in the Rockets coming in from
5670s Godly able to do some serious damage
5672s once again uh shifting to that uh
5675s that more immobile stance than getting
5678s that secondary shot off jjh I just gotta
5681s back away and it looks like for now
5682s nobody's gonna go down from that fight
5684s everyone's just gonna cool it and calm
5687s yeah now jjh here again running that new
5691s comp you know it served them well last
5693s game they put on a quite a significant
5695s amount of points unfortunately you know
5696s that chaotic final Circle just made it
5698s hard for them to clutch out uh but they
5701s did do very well especially in the realm
5703s of Yang fights uh into the likes of like
5705s team GG and 330 now turning to KLA who's
5708s going on to team GS here that look at
5712s this is so good the monk just taking
5714s massive shots here Xiao Toto going
5717s extremely low and ykc I love this coming
5719s out from them immediately just DMX
5721s follows it up and says you're not
5723s getting away they do have the
5725s vermillions bird but GS just does not
5727s care as they continue to Blitz through
5730s the life bars of KLA KLA down to a
5733s single member that they are going to
5735s lose and look at this now GS has the
5737s resources to be able to uh buy or no
5741s wait gel Toto the sorry I misspoke it GS
5744s was the team with Vermillion Birds might
5746s hear so El Toto uh going to be able to
5749s go ahead and resurrect here and they
5751s actually turn that on to KLA love to see
5754s it
5755s yeah they're able to uh also eliminate
5758s KZ there so okay La sorry okay only with
5762s the three kills not gonna be getting
5764s anything more than that so not
5765s particularly the greatest game for them
5767s right now though xcg are still leading
5769s the charge they've got nine kills under
5771s their belt they're quite comfortable in
5772s the setting and I mean all they need to
5774s do is get another 11 and they've got
5776s another 20 bomb sorted honestly not
5779s without not outside of the Realms of
5780s possibility ACG are looking phenomenally
5784s put together they've been very
5785s productive off-season and have really
5787s really worked on kind of getting
5789s everything exhausted for themselves and
5791s our back of a Vengeance after the world
5793s championship look at the defender their
5795s domestic title here at the mvpl just a
5798s little bit of a little bit of shopping
5799s grabbing some soul Jades for themselves
5802s see what ones they can get unfortunately
5803s even if we are shown uh my Chinese is
5807s not good enough to read and I buy my
5808s Chinese isn't good enough to read I mean
5810s my Chinese is non-existent I can't speak
5812s it
5813s have no quick look at that we've got two
5814s Roma yangs spawning up kzr near one the
5817s other one is up on the other side there
5819s is a draco storms blessing spawning up
5821s and wow
5822s if only I knew what they had but they
5824s looked pretty good that's a that's a
5826s pretty kitty team xcg
5828s definitely set up right now with some
5831s significant tools for this game
5835s yeah xcg in a very good spot yet again
5838s with nine eliminations under their belt
5839s already they really are looking to set
5842s the pace here in the first bi-weekly
5845s split for our spring split of the season
5848s and team GG here now uh one of those
5851s teams that usually is setting the pace
5853s uh struggling to find their place here
5856s in this new uh transformation meta uh
5859s are they debating or no it looks like
5860s the realm of yanga filled up in their
5862s face so they're not gonna be able to get
5863s in it's going to be wbg versus a team at
5866s KC going head to head here inside the
5869s realm of Yang Sleepwalker and hazy
5872s you're gonna immediately monk up here we
5874s are going to see the mech immediately
5876s come out Jen just saying I'm just gonna
5877s go ahead and get in and we will see temi
5880s old for Tammy old said this mechs not
5883s buying a lot of space oh look at this
5885s though now the mech shots coming through
5887s the side of that 10 mule they're able to
5889s find the angle they're looking for and
5890s Hazel here just absolutely getting
5892s pummeled and this is what we talk about
5894s when we say very just able to counter
5896s the monk yeah look at this they can even
5897s cancel out the grabs there because they
5900s do stagger off of those bigger Cannon
5902s shuffles keep the monk from going
5904s forward wbg Sleepwalker here very low
5907s trying to buy a space that is a two V2
5909s as KZ and wbg have both lost a member
5912s Sleepwalker actually gonna be able to
5914s get a pot off here as we do see Jing buy
5917s him just a little bit of space but
5918s immediately going to see that armor oh
5920s no right off of him Sleepwalker sent
5922s flying there hazley with a huge nunchuck
5925s combo now on to Jing and that's going to
5927s be it KZ is going to come out for the
5929s second time in the realm of Yang that
5931s was such a clean fight from them as well
5933s fight for a moment that it had gone bad
5935s but it did just not they played that
5937s super well uh it looks like they're
5940s probably gonna let himself a missing my
5941s TK actually got the Draco storm in the
5944s middle of that and there's the Mystic
5945s map for KZ
5946s meanwhile jdg uh I mean there you go
5950s that's some of the monk problems is uh
5951s again little immobile I can't climb
5953s walls so it's just gonna get stuck down
5955s and once they de-transform they actually
5957s do look to join up with the rest of this
5959s fight is bowder right now our current is
5961s just taking shots pinktow looking to try
5963s and find the bow shots onto Mountain
5965s very low HP one more bow shot oh it's
5969s just gonna slide in and that is gonna be
5971s zombukong able to take that kill for the
5973s side of AOW putting AOW on the board
5976s finally as they were down they haven't
5979s been able to find any kills in bowder
5981s just being their opportunity to find
5983s another one are they going to see moon
5984s in the purple Bush are they going to let
5987s him walk away they actually do just walk
5989s away from it
5990s so Moon might be able to resurrect his
5992s team off the back of this
5993s yeah AOW trying to keep things on the
5996s move they are down a player uh right now
5999s so they're going to get them back in to
6001s the game Sorry not AOW my my apologies
6004s no yeah aw what am I talking about uh
6006s baldah here malmon actually going to get
6008s the resurrected Moon and lion gonna come
6010s through and they do go ahead and get
6013s that tether out as we turn our attention
6015s to team TK and GG and GG a little on the
6018s hunt here looking to pick up some more
6020s eliminations as they are only uh one
6024s elimination in here and team Gigi
6025s typically a team that likes to take
6027s those aggressive early fights pick up
6029s those eliminations and carry them into
6030s the late game they're finding themselves
6032s in a situation they're not familiar with
6034s and not very comfortable with either
6036s look at this by the way we talked about
6037s how it multiple the Monk Is pinged out
6039s though over here making him look like
6041s King Kong swinging through the streets
6044s of New York but he is unfortunately
6046s caught out separated from his team and
6048s ewg able to pick up an easy elimination
6051s on to the likes of Bing Tao
6054s yeah a little bit of Parkour coming in
6056s from pinktow but um unfortunately he did
6059s slip and fall so not gonna be able to
6061s stay alive for too much longer was taken
6063s down by ewg and that's their sixth kill
6066s of the game so they're pretty happy with
6067s that one wbg right now hunting TK the
6071s catcher Ali mid air is asleep he
6075s needs to chase up there is a no alt Zone
6077s token down so that could cancel stuff
6079s out as Ellie gonna get the mech in to
6081s try and save the day get the knock back
6083s immediately gets demecked I didn't see
6085s what happened there but they were taken
6087s down a sleepwalker the rest of wbg can
6090s now push up onto TK in the no old Zone
6093s that was what did it uh totally missed
6095s the no also and getting popped instantly
6097s canceling the fire amongst the sad is
6099s going to transform here Jing does still
6101s have the mech to drop here for wbg 3-0
6103s getting himself in a little bit of
6105s danger
6106s that's gonna be one slam potentially
6108s coming in onto AK they just get her
6111s vertical strikes here by PP he's able to
6113s pick them up and with GG coming in as a
6115s potential third party the BBG maybe you
6117s need to be a little bit careful looking
6119s just to step away they have that healing
6121s available the Sleepwalker as well if
6122s necessary wbg now pushing up onto TK and
6126s sad desperately trying to get away but
6128s now
6130s is able to do so but we are going to see
6132s the tether coming in from the Viper to
6134s look to lock down multiple people GG
6136s able to take down wbg eliminating people
6140s left right and Center AOW were knocked
6144s out of the game now we are seeing the
6146s Pharaoh shots coming in from the mech
6148s form and that is another kill over the
6151s GG
6152s yeah team GG here is able to pick up
6156s some of those eliminations that they
6158s desperately wanted here again a team
6160s that very early likes to pick up those
6162s eliminations to be able to bring them
6163s into the late game so now finding
6165s themselves in a comfortable situation
6167s Jing trying to get those rain shots off
6170s there so they can at least pick up
6171s another elimination here from Team GG
6174s before they go down but taking this
6176s fighting Zone they're not going to be
6177s able to find that elimination that they
6178s were looking for on to miskia and team
6181s GG will be picking up the final
6183s elimination there on to wbg as they get
6187s sent back to the lobby Gigi just gonna
6189s take their time and pick the bodies here
6191s it is only zone three so the Zone tick
6193s not really going to be doing two
6194s terrible amounts of damage to team GG as
6198s they get ready to press back out of the
6200s Zone KZ here with a surprising
6202s performance as they've been able to win
6204s both of the realm of Yang fights here
6206s and currently have six eliminations to
6210s their name it's sitting here waiting for
6212s zone three to collapse on to zone four
6214s and we're gonna see those first sets of
6216s uh morrissa blessings show up with the
6219s legendary armor which would be an
6221s absolutely massive pickup for this team
6223s here as that gold armor would go a long
6225s way towards helping keep hazley alive
6228s going in it to the late stages of the
6230s game and it looks like they actually do
6233s find another team on the other side as
6235s we get to see one of our weather
6236s anomalies we love to see here the meteor
6239s shower as the stars come down and
6240s actually pick up some damage on to ewg
6244s we love these new weather phenomenons I
6247s kind of wish that we had some of these
6249s coming through on to Morris Isle as well
6251s Jake yeah yeah I mean it's kind of it's
6253s like a pretty Bane's breath I mean bass
6255s press not ugly but it's like a prettier
6257s brain's Breath Right
6258s yeah yeah exactly yeah it literally is
6261s it's just nobody controls it so you're
6264s all in danger and it's not quite as
6266s clustered as well I believe so yeah yeah
6268s that's all about it as well is uh when
6271s they come down if you don't get hit by
6274s them you can actually go over and break
6275s them to pick up some more rage for your
6277s meter as well
6278s I did not know that that is actually
6281s news to me man I uh honestly sometimes I
6284s mean like the fact I only just found out
6286s how to know who has Bane's breath
6288s probably shows you a lot I mean of
6289s course if this game played it enough I
6291s should know that but apparently
6292s apparently my brain doesn't work that
6294s smart uh speaking of which there is a
6296s Bean's breath down at the moment
6298s um it's not owned by xcg but it is about
6301s to timeout so they are feeling pretty
6302s comfortable uh not to go for it
6304s interestingly
6306s um
6308s it's actually weird because you're
6310s talking about the kind of weather
6311s effects one of the best things about
6313s holleruff is the like the diversity of
6315s the different kind of weather effects
6316s and what they do I would love to see
6318s some of them added in I feel like adding
6320s the sandstorm and the snowstorm might be
6322s a little bit hard to uh
6324s at the Morris oil but I think there are
6326s some really cool ones we could see
6328s coming in there's uh I mean I just can
6329s see a replay of xcg taking a fight there
6332s versus jjh and kind of how this went
6334s down it looks like the Pacific Rim comp
6337s was able to just absolutely walk over
6340s them cutting back to life though ewg are
6344s getting a couple of shots thrown into
6345s them the wind walls aren't going to buy
6346s them a little bit of Health there but I
6348s must get shot from The High Ground able
6350s to take down the Iran as his Karen is
6353s being basically watched over as xcg they
6356s just look to try and find the shots onto
6358s them the moment they go for that revive
6359s GG are also in the area and GS have
6364s actually tied up with the members of xcg
6366s on the kill front so both of these teams
6369s desperately trying to get something
6370s exactly GS overtake them as they take
6373s out you run Iran was just resurrected
6375s and then immediately take him down as
6377s well
6378s so Gs are able to get himself on the
6381s on the Forefront
6383s of the uh
6385s of the uh kills for the moment
6387s yeah GS doing very well this game in
6390s their uh what do we call this the
6393s Pacific Rim comp is that we coined it as
6395s Jake I like that quite honestly uh but
6397s yeah really showing how well this comp
6400s comes through unfortunately for jjh when
6402s we cut back to that replay there this is
6404s their second time running that
6406s particular comp and it's the likes of
6407s xcg who continues to give them the most
6411s trouble on that comp and it means
6412s they're not really going to be able to
6413s pick up the points that they wanted to
6415s while using all of those hero points
6417s because they've run that comp back to
6419s back twice now team GG here trading at
6422s shots with the likes of GS GS trying to
6426s deny them at the box but really GG in a
6428s great situation to be able to actually
6430s go pick up the Moore's blessing just
6432s killing next to them they do need to be
6434s careful of those shots pushing them back
6436s into the rolling pin we're gonna see
6438s that Yodo F3 come through to buy them a
6440s little bit of space there they do get
6441s the gold armor but miss you walks right
6443s into the rolling pin of death and is
6445s going to take quite a bit of damage but
6447s they do have cover here so they can roll
6449s back in and go ahead and take the full
6452s recovery and it doesn't look like GS
6454s wants to push onto it Alex M very low
6457s that was xcg starts to push this fight
6459s from behind and GG regretting moving on
6463s to that box now as they are pinched
6465s between the two leading teams in our
6467s current Lobby GS and xcg ewg looking
6470s like they pick up an elimination onto
6473s kz's Feria which is going to leave Casey
6476s and quite the pickles now team GG coming
6478s in with a massive Viper stun isn't
6481s actually going to be able to find too
6482s much off of it GG going to be forced to
6484s use the wooch and old but not HQ still
6487s able to pick up the rain shot onto GG's
6490s 330. it is absolutely gonna delete them
6493s from across the map Gigi Burns two
6495s ultimates and their last player with an
6497s ultimate available finds themselves
6499s eliminated they're trying so hard to
6501s cover in this corner but it looks like
6503s they're not going to be able to find it
6504s in ihq sitting up top here absolutely
6507s pummeling down
6508s doing tons of damage here in the Feria
6512s Mech and xcg pick up their 10th
6515s eliminated game the 10th elimination of
6517s the game and will find themselves tied
6519s with ewg and team GS moving in to zone
6523s six we have just a few minutes left
6526s remaining in the game here and it's a
6528s three-way tie
6530s yeah a whole bunch of teams all running
6532s for the Forefront here but we are going
6535s to see a team get eliminated in the
6537s middle of all of this down to just the
6539s six good grab coming in and that is the
6542s end of our KZ member HCG desperately
6544s trying to avoid the Dodges and the grabs
6547s coming in from gs's ewg keeping Pace
6550s both the teams not 11. this is a high
6552s kill Lobby everybody is going to be
6554s scoring high here ewg sliding in with
6557s the Viper lockdown to try and pin a
6559s bunch of people in place and GS will
6561s lose a member ewg now pulling ahead to
6563s the 12 kill mark and they will protect
6566s the character make sure there is not
6568s going to be any resurrections available
6569s the rolling pin is still off to the side
6572s of this Zone as well I want the zone to
6574s end of The Rolling Pin give it to me
6576s give it to me game I want it so bad
6579s as uh xcg just trying to find a few
6582s shots but I'll see in the ultimate
6583s coming out from the Tammy just to buy a
6585s little bit more space for the moment
6587s three minutes left until this game does
6590s come to an end and everybody is playing
6592s at nice and tempered waiting to farm up
6595s that rage and get those ultimates back
6596s we also have the no alt Zone just off to
6599s the side as well there's a lot of stuff
6601s that can still impact this game it's
6603s oug's jinyu on the run low HP is able to
6607s sustain and get the pots off and heal
6609s themselves back up surprisingly jinyu is
6613s going to be able to survive for now the
6615s only standing player for their team as
6617s well so nobody there to cover for them
6619s if they're gonna get himself in any
6621s danger but they are able to hold for the
6623s moment and getting jumped onto ewg
6625s they're thrown out the Yoto ultimate
6627s they're able to pick up one you ran
6628s actually able to secure that kill for
6630s ewg and they're starting to pick up the
6632s tempo a little bit here they're starting
6633s to find a few additional kills for
6635s themselves now xcg they're transformed
6637s they've got the Met available to them
6638s that's going to be the end of oug
6640s knocked out of this game Knight HQ 14
6643s players back Jalen transformed into that
6646s monkey comp and there goes the no old
6648s Zone to cancel out all of the
6649s Transformers that is a rough time for
6651s all of this to come out just fresh off
6653s that transformation he won't have it in
6655s the next two minutes as xcg gonna try
6658s and push up forward the rolling pin
6660s slowly rotating just off to the side the
6663s no alt Zone also going a little bit
6665s there as it looks like ewg they just
6667s lose a member there goes y'allure taken
6669s out for the moment as xcg are gonna push
6671s up into the side of the Zone The Rails
6673s are on the edge of this Zone as well
6675s they're gonna force them back the
6677s rolling pin comes in
6682s taking them down GG losing their life as
6686s well the rolling pin delivers it giveth
6689s at it take of away as xcg are going to
6694s win another game back to back baby
6698s oh my good Lord Jacob back to back W's
6703s if you remember in season two there was
6705s a little bit of a curse if you walked
6707s away the MVP for game one of the day it
6711s kind of seemed like it messed with the
6713s rest of your day and you could not
6716s perform on the same level uh following
6718s that but xcg coming in here with the
6720s back to back MVP first place finishes
6723s here and I do believe if not mistaken
6726s that was 18 eliminations almost another
6728s 20 bomb Jake they are gonna be
6732s so phenomenally high in the scoreboards
6734s off the back of this really really big
6736s stuff coming in from xcg a phenomenal
6740s performance from these guys they're
6742s gonna be very very happy with themselves
6743s off the back of that one but man
6746s xcg I guess new year new curses because
6749s that that is not the curse anymore uh it
6752s turns out if you win the first game you
6754s apparently just win the second one with
6756s almost as many points
6758s really really big games coming in from
6759s xcg I guess the question is is there's
6762s still four games left had they run out
6763s of gas in the tank or you know have they
6766s got more that they can potentially throw
6767s down
6770s I will say as a quick note before we go
6772s into like looking at the points a bunch
6774s of teams scored this time though I think
6776s there's a massive difference is X
6779s dominated game one and it was just not
6781s close this time it was a lot closer a
6784s lot closer
6785s yeah going into that final Circle we had
6787s three different teams with 10
6788s eliminations of the belt it was a
6789s three-way tie between xcg ewg uh and I
6793s do believe team GS return eliminations
6795s each but we have to talk about that no
6797s old Zone parked in the end here also
6800s with the rolling pin of death right
6802s there on the edge of the circle we we
6804s literally expected the Kaiju fight to
6806s break out and it was like one player
6808s walked over and said we're not doing
6810s that today it is skill or nothing and I
6813s love to see the likes of xcg shoving
6816s players into the zone taking that fight
6817s and going I might eat this rolling pin
6820s but you're gonna die to it I don't care
6822s they did it with flair they wanted the
6824s style points they walked away with the
6826s rolling pin elimination and I just I've
6828s got to give it to xcg they came into
6830s that final Circle and said we don't need
6832s ultimate we're just gonna roll you with
6833s pure skill alone I I think what was
6836s probably the most frustrating for some
6838s of those teams is they were waiting for
6839s that monk moment they're like this is it
6840s I got a monk pop pop like it just
6843s instantly instantly denied I no old
6847s zones
6848s normally you don't see them have that
6849s much impact like they do a little bit
6851s and like you can't a KBC team Skirmish
6853s in it I don't think I've ever seen a
6854s final Circle where like it had that much
6856s impact and like you said it just came
6858s down to Mechanical skill and not relying
6860s on abilities and that was the
6862s Transformers game but the Transformers
6864s did nothing in the end like it really
6866s didn't come down to that Transformers it
6867s came down to how well those teams just
6870s played the core mechanics of the combat
6872s system in this game
6873s really really good stuff for xcg they're
6875s going to be very happy with two wins now
6877s back to back and obviously had to see
6879s how many points they put together like
6880s you said you think it was about 18 kills
6882s at the end of that game I guess we'll
6884s see when the scoreboard comes up but
6885s also keep in mind a bunch of teams
6888s scored today and in that game so I think
6891s this game this game has potential to be
6894s a really high scorer across the board
6896s and I think it's it's gonna be a good
6898s one I I'm happy to see that I I'm also
6900s happy not to see
6902s one team just score higher than
6904s everybody else and then just hold it
6905s over everyone else they're kind of
6906s mourning it for the whole day sitting at
6908s the top of the scoreboard I've been like
6909s you can't catch us so it doesn't matter
6911s like we'll just sit up here you know the
6913s the fbx classic that one you know they'd
6916s get like 100 points and then just do
6917s nothing for the rest of the day
6919s well you know I think xcg here has
6922s cemented themselves and I did call it 18
6923s eliminations another 33-point game and
6926s while we see ewg pick up a 22 point game
6929s and GS with a 16.9 you have to remember
6931s xcg came out of the first game with a
6933s 20-point lead over everybody else right
6937s so coming into this game now they have
6939s at least another 10-point lead on that
6941s there's a 30 point gap between xcg
6945s potentially and even the second place
6947s team in the overall standings that's an
6950s entire games worth of points if somebody
6954s were to have a massive pop-off game
6956s right because I mean look at here this
6957s is an 18 kill game and they're walking
6960s away with 33 points with a first place
6963s finish another team would have to have a
6965s Repeat Performance like this just to
6967s catch up to xcg and xcg would have to do
6971s literally nothing in the next game I
6973s think xcg is gonna keep their pedal to
6976s the metal and coming into the next game
6978s I'm willing to bet they're gonna perform
6979s exactly the same way they did during
6982s games one and two no I
6984s I've got the expectation let's not cast
6986s The Curse cost to curse them yeah
6990s I've always went there for a moment
6991s already only two games in so much action
6993s but uh our voice is given out but yeah
6995s xcg Kim Biden remember they lost a
6999s player immediately the first death of
7001s this game was an xcg member I believe it
7004s was uh yeah it was yelling he went down
7007s right at the beginning of the game they
7009s got him up and then they just pick up
7010s some weapons run outside and just murder
7013s five people like they just absolutely
7015s butchered outside and like I said it was
7018s it was a scary Hot Drop for them to be
7020s taking but they took it they they were
7022s confident in it and
7024s yeah you can paint yourself into edit
7025s into the into a corner but they kind of
7027s just painted other people into a corner
7029s absolutely kill a game coming in and at
7032s the end I mean you gotta love this
7034s rolling pin action flattens four people
7037s gets the kill onto uh ttyc as well and
7042s really really good stuff from xcg
7044s they're gonna be very happy and I wonder
7046s who's gonna get MVP this game uh I think
7048s we might have a fairer MVP
7051s I think we might just as well and I mean
7053s very smart even though they lose to KC
7056s in the realm of Yang they come in with
7058s that huge big bang brain play right
7060s where they go out they let two of their
7062s members die and oh excuse me just buy
7065s them back immediately and of course like
7068s you said it is gonna be the very um MVP
7070s here nyhq with 10 eliminations 28 000
7073s damage and seven assists that is
7076s literally what 95 96 Guild participation
7080s here for 9 HQ absolutely well deserved
7083s MVP coming here for xcg I you know what
7087s I we haven't seen a triple bomb in a
7090s long time do you think xcg's gonna be
7092s able to pull out yet another MVP here
7093s today Jake
7094s I want I hope so I I think we had a
7097s hatchet for a while uh you know what we
7099s haven't seen ever
7101s one team win all day we've still never
7103s had it
7105s could that do today am I getting ahead
7107s of myself yes
7110s am I gonna hold on to this hoop yes am I
7113s maybe a little bit delusional absolutely
7115s yes uh I really I we haven't seen a six
7118s bomb ever that would be
7122s oh man that'd be so GG let's just be GG
7124s for like all of the teams in the league
7126s they'll be like how how do we catch up
7128s on this by weekly if you've won six
7130s games in their first day I'm well ahead
7132s of myself we're only two games in we've
7134s still got you know a whole bunch more to
7135s go we've got two more SL coming up uh
7137s we've only got another hauler off
7138s another Morris Isle hold off was
7140s interesting
7142s um
7143s I think that that was the most
7145s the most mechanically weird final Circle
7148s we've seen in a while I think the last
7150s time we had like a weird final circle of
7152s like similar to this was on horror off
7155s as well I can't remember exactly where
7156s it was but it's where you have that land
7157s bridge and then a massive a massive dip
7161s and like everybody was kind of hiding in
7162s the dip from the monks who were standing
7164s on the land bridge uh
7166s that was another really weird one
7167s horrock just delivers on Final surface
7169s room it just gives us some really really
7170s soft ones oh absolutely but ladies and
7173s gentlemen we're gonna jump to a short
7174s VCR before we come back in and lock in
7176s for game number three
7179s [Music]
7191s thank you
7194s of course it has it looks like the king
7196s is going to be able to find out the
7197s combos but Jin is able to hit a
7200s beautiful beautiful Parry on to the king
7203s Jin trying to hold on but the King has
7205s now let him go without a fight he's not
7206s making it easy to get the full finish
7207s here beautiful hits on each side here as
7210s he pops the queue
7217s out of this but unfortunately tybal
7220s dropped it kaibel needs a single hit and
7222s he's trying on to Wang Wang Lan finds
7226s his gear which into charge left foot Kai
7228s bound into a single shot here Wang Liang
7230s Liang gonna opt to go for the pot here
7233s he's not gonna be able to find a kaibal
7235s continuing to pressure comes in gonna be
7237s forced to stop the push one Clank is all
7240s he needs the elbow
7243s [Music]
7248s absolutely doesn't care gin so slow even
7252s with the legendary pulsar and he gets
7254s some huge hits on to Fango Fang just
7256s needs to find the neck when the elbow
7258s comes through waiting with the F here
7260s Fang finds the elimination eight
7262s eliminations in the first place
7271s some damage in on this other Fighters
7272s Wang leeang getting this fight off here
7274s with Julian both of them pretty much
7276s dangerously low here getting caught in a
7277s bad situation as the ulti comes out
7279s actually claims two here beautifully in
7282s unawang danger
7285s [Music]
7295s [Music]
7308s [Music]
7319s [Music]
7331s thank you
7333s [Music]
7349s thank you
7352s [Music]
7358s foreign
7367s [Music]
7395s split we're two games deep in today's
7397s trios and man what a day it has been
7400s already xcg is on a tear you know we
7404s don't most days we don't even see a
7407s double dub coming out from a single team
7409s it's always a different MVP almost
7411s across all six games we do have some
7413s where we see it and we've almost never
7415s seen a hat trick but xcg today is really
7418s in rare form quite honestly and I'm
7422s willing to bet we're gonna see at least
7424s a hat trick coming out of this team
7425s today Jake I am going to quickly go back
7427s to my notes from previous seasons and
7429s see where our last hat trick was uh fbx
7432s xpx uh week eight did it that was the
7436s last time we had a hat trick they won
7437s three games at the end of the day there
7439s you go oh yeah the last three games I
7442s remember that yeah games yeah yeah but
7443s other than that like it is incredibly
7446s rare and
7448s interestingly because you feel like when
7450s you come into uh when you come into the
7453s a new season there's normally like a
7455s shaky bit there's not many teams who
7456s look shaky I don't feel like there are
7459s teens dealer shaky right now at least in
7460s B and C obviously we haven't seen group
7462s a so we don't really know you know what
7463s J team and uh oh God tztk I can't
7467s remember their name now
7472s and we haven't seen like you know what
7474s these teams look like but realistically
7476s you know a lot of our
7478s a lot of our like top performing teams
7480s and even some of our kind of like more
7481s middling teams have stayed together as
7484s as as one unit so there hasn't really
7487s been that shaky stage and interesting
7489s because season two versus season one was
7492s very it was very different because
7493s season one and two they were so close
7496s together and teams changed rosters but
7498s they look so shaky coming throughout the
7500s entirety of season two and I think maybe
7502s that suits some of these teams and maybe
7504s for some teams they felt for their
7505s season two rosters were just better so
7507s they've stayed together as these season
7508s two rosters and I I think it it's gonna
7512s make for a less uh shaky start to the
7514s season
7515s I think it's gonna make for a uh
7518s gonna make a more interesting uh season
7520s three I'm very sad to see what the
7521s spring season looks like anyway before
7523s we get going with our third game of the
7525s day we actually spoke to ewgs your rant
7527s so let's see what he had to say
7532s um
7536s [Music]
7555s foreign
7580s a year on there giving us a little bit
7582s of insight to how he felt about coming
7584s in and of course you Ron coming into the
7586s world championship moving over to solos
7588s uh for the first time for ewg and you
7591s know he performed exceptionally well for
7594s his first time into solos as a
7596s professional player coming through and
7598s taking third place in the world
7600s championships against the likes of some
7602s of the best players we've ever seen I
7604s mean wbg spider one of those players
7607s absolutely you know dominating and try
7609s hard up there in those top four as well
7612s really shining a light on to n a so
7615s euron was not up against light
7617s competition so taking third place he
7619s should be very proud of himself Jake
7621s yeah he absolutely should uh it's a
7623s quick note I think this is the problem
7624s for GS has been having he's using his
7626s mic his uh Mouse upside down
7628s you can't see it now but his hand is
7630s covered but he's spinning his mouth
7632s upside down that might be uh might be
7634s why yeah that's not hey hold on Mouse
7635s mate that's that's the problem you guys
7637s have been having gotta you gotta put the
7639s mouse flat on the mouse mat make sure
7641s that the Laser's pointing down
7643s just a quick tip for you guys at home
7645s there but yeah no honestly yes you know
7647s one of our newer teams actually haven't
7649s looked all that bad if I'm gonna be
7650s completely honest I think typically when
7652s you have new teams join they're either
7654s like cracked and they just completely
7656s blow open the game or I kind of just a
7658s sad like it's probably the best way to
7660s win it I like just sad
7662s um I'm trying to think of like who we
7664s had join in season two
7666s um but we had a team join and they they
7667s just they just did
7672s it's interesting seeing as well I think
7674s these are the bottom graphic where you
7676s can see you know the hero selections and
7678s like the teams that they play the
7679s percentages obviously going to be a
7681s little skewed at the moment because
7682s we've only got two games to go off but
7684s in a couple weeks time it's gonna be
7686s really interesting to see you know what
7687s teams favor and what they want to play
7689s because we have some teams last season
7691s who uh
7692s who would favor certain comps over
7694s others I think I can't remember who we
7695s had like a team who like basically only
7697s wanted to play yoso comps and kind of
7700s avoided monk comps at all costs
7702s um so be interesting to see you know
7704s what teams favor and also
7706s with new uh Heroes coming out in the
7708s next uh I don't know when they're coming
7710s out but they're coming out they'll be
7712s new Heroes coming out at some point so
7714s I'm gonna be excited to see you know
7715s what what they do to the meta and stuff
7717s as well yeah so akkas will actually be
7720s coming out on the 16th uh which is going
7723s to be a whole lot of fun the new hero uh
7726s it's gonna be really interesting to see
7728s what he does to The Meta because I mean
7730s Feria obviously is shaking up the meta
7732s quite dramatically right and even last
7735s season uh and in the world championship
7737s we saw Jay team experimenting with
7739s Takeda running that comp on the
7741s nighttime map uh for Morris Iowa because
7744s they had access to the fireflies all the
7745s time and actually winning games with it
7748s as well catching some of these teams by
7750s complete surprise and I'm willing to bet
7752s before the day is out we're going to see
7754s some Takeda coming through into these
7757s final games of the day but right now
7758s we're gonna lock in as we head in to
7761s game number three here and it promises
7764s to be an exceptional one if xcg
7767s continues to keep the momentum that
7769s they've been able to build in these
7771s first two games they might bulldoze
7773s through the competition here today well
7775s let's say well hero select is going to
7777s give us the hero point system that we've
7779s got to keep in mind you can see the
7780s numbers on their screen right now and
7782s where they're spending it that's a lot
7784s of Yoto there's a zeping in the game
7786s there's a cicada in the game okay I'm
7790s here for this this is a little bit
7792s better
7794s I'm liking this no no cue balls here
7797s well there are a few actually quite a
7799s lot of teams are still running the monk
7800s but
7801s that's okay to zipping and Matari team
7804s coming in from OC
7807s they haven't been the most
7809s um the most convincing team to me if I'm
7812s gonna be completely honest but I am
7815s interested to see what this team can do
7818s um there's a lot of survivability a lot
7820s of Supply factors in here
7822s they could be a real nuisance they could
7825s also just get Monk crabs and it's
7827s unfortunately an option but this could
7829s be a really really interesting uh Team
7831s put together here and it will be saving
7833s up on some points off the back of this
7835s you know I want to take a look here at
7837s ewg as well kind of running a secondary
7840s Transformers comp with a running UA Sean
7843s with a temmie and the Takeda coming
7846s through it it's gonna be interesting to
7849s see whether it's the Takeda or the
7852s Eurasian who's the front kind of man of
7855s that team gonna be taking the
7856s engagements and popping in because most
7858s Eurasian players play him as a support
7860s for the monk right covering the monk
7863s during his transformation but there's
7864s nobody to cover in that particular comp
7866s so is it going to be you as Sean for ewg
7869s who takes those engagements and pushes
7871s in and has Takeda and temi cover for him
7874s or will it be Takeda taking the
7876s Forefront for ewg
7878s but we'll have to find out as we get on
7880s to game number three whole bunch of
7883s teams have already loaded him right next
7884s to each other xcg obviously being one of
7887s the teams to watch here rocking
7889s something a little bit different with
7890s the Matari Monk and Decatur
7894s but for now just just gonna be grabbing
7896s some loot it looks like wvg actually
7898s took a fight
7900s because the help No Maybe I'm Wrong
7902s maybe they did all PP already with the
7904s uh purple armor that's actually quite
7906s scary already rocking that purple armor
7908s speaking of which Casey had purple armor
7910s as well as they are looking to finish up
7912s some of these members here on the OC
7914s they'll see they've actually already
7915s been able to pick up one kill for
7917s themselves Slayer dodging backwards
7918s better maybe looking for the potential
7920s third party here but KC okay Z sorry
7922s doing a lot of work to Slayer Slayer
7924s just trying to avoid up against grapple
7926s canceled and is unable to do too much
7927s powder looking to try and get the
7929s Revival of the mountain should be able
7931s to do so slide in and save the day as we
7933s do see wbg's Jing going down in the
7936s middle of this is Battle now getting
7938s jumped on to malman may just be another
7940s kill over the GS if they're able to put
7942s together a second or first kill for
7944s themselves
7946s unfortunately taking a bad end of this
7948s trade
7949s yeah bauda able to slide in here and
7952s find the resurrection makes the chaos
7953s but GS playing very smart sitting inside
7956s the building there waiting to see uh if
7959s that fight was gonna turn into their
7961s favor they see the opportunity to come
7962s in onto a Resurrection on a low player
7965s capitalize onto that kill and then also
7967s find another player from Team bound
7969s turning back to team OC over here trying
7972s to use those witchen win walls to maybe
7974s buy their player back but it doesn't
7975s look like it'll be able to as KZ and GS
7978s come in for the engagement here we see
7980s the Viper coming out here from a team GS
7982s the counter Viper old from the other
7984s team coming through though and
7986s unfortunately for them kz's Viper didn't
7988s get stunned by the initial Viper they
7990s were behind the wall here so that vipero
7992s will come through and goes extremely low
7994s but the good old coming through Yoda
7996s will for yodel here is Casey's gen also
7998s popping theirs is going to turn their
8000s attention onto Ann and with the three
8002s strikes coming through Jen gonna buy
8003s some space with the Yodo F3 turning on
8006s to jail Toto trying to find those
8009s elimination here with the great sword
8011s you is gonna go down Jen will find the
8014s eliminations they're looking for here
8015s they're gonna pop back looks like hazely
8018s goes down and they do not have the time
8020s to cover as team OC comes in for the
8022s potential fourth party and both of the
8025s team's GS and Casey You're Gonna Lose a
8028s member here that they're not going to be
8029s able to buy back you see both of them
8031s leave their Cairns and go look for the
8033s resurrection so they can meet back up
8034s with the rest of their team
8037s that's like it's gonna be the game plan
8038s for now
8040s oug leading the charge right now with
8042s five kills under their belt xcg unable
8045s to find a single one and in fact all
8047s going for the resurrection so xcg
8049s obviously losing a fight pretty hard
8051s somewhere
8052s does bite them in the back a little bit
8053s as uh Jenny G and OG are gonna see each
8056s other looks like for now though the wind
8058s walls up oh EG should be feeling pretty
8060s comfortable to actually Advance here
8063s onto xiaohui is uh he is one grapple
8066s away from getting himself tethered up
8068s and it looks like jdg looking to take
8070s the fight they're gonna go down for the
8072s monk transformation LSR able to look for
8074s these grabs has got one can I get a
8077s second unable to fully connect onto it
8079s but we'll get the slam out onto SS they
8081s do put the wind wall up but the second
8082s grab is gonna get blocked out for the
8084s moment does grab it can he find the next
8086s one going for the Viper unable to do so
8088s and now he's gonna get himself stunned
8090s SS dodging away beautifully onto this
8093s and LSR needs to de-transform able to
8096s just about get himself picked up in
8097s responses o u g are gonna be slammed
8101s here now it's down to one last member
8103s the king is gonna transfer his Karens
8105s out and maybe he can get a revive off in
8108s time but G DG are gonna be hunting for
8111s blood did they spot them they jumped up
8113s I don't think they did they looked that
8116s they are able to just about a void out
8117s from the middle of that one is sad
8118s meanwhile down at shipwrecks is gonna
8121s get himself taken out
8122s yeah turning over to jjh here into
8125s shipwreck team TK down to a single
8127s member AK trying to pop the karumial but
8129s just it butchered in this corner there's
8132s not really any place for them to go
8133s we're gonna hear the Perry come out TK
8136s though absolutely gonna get Blitz down
8138s here by the Bane's breath but jjh also
8142s going to be losing a member to that
8145s Bane's breath coming through actually
8147s buys TK's last remaining member enough
8150s space to get away from that fight now
8153s turning her attention to team at KLA
8155s here as they move through the forest
8157s looking for the next potential set of
8160s victims and they've locked on to team at
8162s jdg LSR in the distance Kopi also in the
8165s distance trying to find some pots off
8167s here will get the heels off but now
8169s finds themselves in a sandwich between
8171s all three members of KLA Kopi trying to
8174s get back to the rest of their team gonna
8176s use the umbrella to teleport up towards
8178s them jdg does manage to find a little
8181s bit of a regroup as oud comes in for the
8183s third party though looks like KLA is
8186s going to be more than happy to peel off
8188s from this fight and leave the remaining
8190s members of
8191s jdg2-o-u-g oug trying to close the
8194s distance here onto Kobe Kobe able to use
8196s the ultimate here and the umbrella to
8198s buy themselves a little bit of space but
8199s is it going to be enough they're looking
8200s to get that teleport back to the
8202s umbrella but oud is not going to give
8205s them time to get that F button off if
8207s all three members just pressure down
8209s onto them and they can't get the
8210s teleport off and that is going to be it
8212s there for that member of team jdg
8215s is going to be them unfortunately is uh
8218s on the run from KLA
8220s we'll be going down maybe unless they
8223s can make a miraculous Escape uh ykc
8226s actually got caught on a branch so
8230s should spot out LSR who's honestly is in
8233s that pole arm Tech really really well to
8235s just put as much distance oh sorry spear
8236s Tech there's much distance between them
8238s as possible on that run the meanwhile
8241s back down towards ship race it's a
8243s little bit further up we are seeing TK
8245s finding himself in an altercation versus
8248s jjh who just wuchen oh safety don't
8252s really want to be dealing by the uh is
8255s in the middle of their transformation so
8257s I'm just gonna step away for now Roma
8260s yangs should be coming up in relatively
8262s short period of time
8264s that's probably where we're going to see
8265s a little bit more action is LW get
8268s himself on the board interestingly been
8270s a very quiet game from xcg so maybe we
8273s did curse them roon maybe uh maybe the
8276s curse comes in a little later is that
8278s AOW actually able to get himself up to
8280s five kills jdg have been eliminated
8282s unfortunately with their five kills so
8283s that is gonna be it for the modified
8285s points they're gonna be able to get off
8286s this game number three AOW still going
8289s strong same with oug who have seven
8291s kills under their belt right now ewg are
8294s gonna jump into a skirmish here with AOW
8296s hitting them against the wall Ping Tao
8298s being staggered back as the sandstorms
8300s coming out this is really really rough
8302s at AOW
8303s in the zone in the sandstorm need to be
8306s super careful already lost a member
8309s that does look like they're not quite
8310s done for this fight they want to see if
8312s they can pick up a kill onto ewg I say
8313s looking to pick up even more than one
8316s potentially here Asia Lou a is gonna go
8318s down oh see I see coming in with the
8320s third party on the pistol able to take
8322s this one away and now AOW in for a world
8324s of hurt it's OC looking to deal with
8326s Ping Tao pink tau's being just juggled
8329s Back Against The Wall taken out OC
8331s Slayer slays Ping Tao and a beautiful
8335s third party from them yeah now turning
8337s her attention to KLA yck here in the
8340s monkey is able to get the grab onto
8342s oug's King here now able to pick up
8344s xenyu as well the support coming through
8346s the team with the rain shots we're gonna
8347s go for the slam here but actually get
8349s canceled out of it as zinyu is able to
8352s go ahead and Pop That e quick enough to
8354s get out of the grab but not quick enough
8356s to buy themselves their freedom as the
8359s remaining members of KLA follow up on
8361s the Escape victim uh from yck and pick
8364s up the elimination
8366s oug down to a single remaining member
8368s and we're gonna see the those Realms of
8370s Yang starting to come through and it
8371s looks like team GG and bowed uh the only
8373s two teams able to make it into the realm
8375s of Yang here for the first set of Realms
8377s Yang they're gonna be going head-to-head
8378s a lion with two seconds to get some pots
8381s off though quite low as they got into
8383s this realm GG's 330 coming to the
8386s backside not immediately monkeying up is
8388s going to lose quite a bit of their armor
8389s as they go ahead and finally pop monk
8391s into the middle of that team here we're
8393s gonna see maumon follow suit now on to 3
8396s 30 and 3 30 is just getting blitzed with
8399s long swords as those slashes come
8400s through from range and do a ton of
8403s damage 330 trying to stand in the alt
8406s here from the kurumi but it's not going
8408s to be enough as he just continues to get
8411s shreddeds lion TT gonna use the big
8413s ballista there on top of their
8416s transformation into the back to push
8418s them out of the kurumi healing Circle
8420s 330 goes extremely low balda still down
8425s a member though and the healing from
8427s kurumi managing to buy 3 30 the space to
8431s get some heels of his own back off here
8433s and the fight has turned into the favor
8435s of Team GG now that malmon is down and
8438s that 3 30 has been able to get a full
8440s recovery off moon goes extremely low he
8443s goes Airborne but no place to go and it
8445s is now a 3v1 in the favor of team at GG
8449s who will Blitz Down lion TT and they are
8452s gonna take the victory there and it
8454s looks like in the last couple of seconds
8455s TK KLA were able to find the other realm
8459s of Yang here and TK down a member find
8463s themselves on the back foot as sad is
8464s going to be D Monk and the uh
8466s instantaneously follows up on it sad
8468s goes extremely low is going to be picked
8470s up by Q G G and now a single member left
8475s remaining for team TK Ali fighting
8478s desperately in their uh on old but it's
8480s not going to be enough it's qgg follows
8482s it up and continues to keep Ali
8484s staggered down and it's going to be KLA
8486s who comes out on top
8487s really nice stuff coming in there from
8489s both of those teams it was interesting
8491s watching through 300 because it felt
8493s like he was done it felt like he was
8494s completely doomed but somehow he was
8497s able to hold on long enough that kurumi
8500s healing just being so effective and
8503s able to turn the tides of that fight
8504s because so much was used on him
8507s and he didn't go down he dodged it all
8509s he stayed alive he kept that tether
8511s going and able to just hold on Fast
8513s you've got three teams now with the
8515s millions first mate running around the
8517s map so that's nice and scary for
8519s everybody to deal with and uh wbg have
8521s found you a uh KLA both of these teams
8525s have Birds might so it's kind of like a
8527s a nothing lost fight for these guys
8528s they'll get the kills sure they won't
8530s get the gear but you know they're not
8532s going to lose anything for losing or
8534s winning this fight really it just points
8536s to themselves right now as PP trying to
8537s get those cannon shots off on to these
8540s members almost
8541s got that ultimate fully charged up here
8544s on the Wu Shen he's gonna catch a
8546s knock-up on to uh one of the members of
8548s wbg given the pressure going for the
8550s moment on to ykc he's low HP has to be
8553s forced into the transformation remember
8555s they've got that ultimate available to
8557s them so if this does start to go a
8559s little bit bad they can just alt out
8561s with the uh with the Wu Shen as Jing
8563s able to just about avoid away PP not
8566s gonna get himself caught out for the
8567s moment trying to get a whole bunch of
8568s additional damage onto this stunned up
8570s monk ykc low HP low armor double grabs
8576s double slams that's gonna be one birth
8578s to White popped PP now being staggered
8581s back as KLA looking to finish up the
8584s last couple of members there goes the
8585s next one
8586s a wbg they lose that hot fight pretty
8589s whole-handedly and will be losing their
8591s Birds might xcg and Baldo right now two
8594s teams with donuts not the same
8597s performance coming out from xcg as the
8599s previous two games yeah no not
8602s whatsoever here TK playing this is very
8604s smart as well right we saw in that last
8606s fight there as well KLA you know they
8608s got very very low uh in that monk
8610s transformation and they get stunned out
8611s but the kurumi able to come and cover
8614s the stun coming through from the Viper
8617s with the ultimate as they were able to
8619s escape the stun and then teleport back
8621s in onto the monk these traditional monk
8624s comps really coming back into the fold
8627s like they did in the world championship
8629s here and even finding themselves viable
8632s outside of the Realms of Yang but jjh uh
8635s here coming in blitzing down team TK but
8638s the third party also coming through from
8639s Team GS who is going to find a massive
8642s Viper stun as they pick up the
8645s elimination onto jjh's Reign you trying
8648s to cover for the rest of the team get
8650s away here find some space with that
8652s dagger a little bit of burning still
8654s going on but you able to back off as now
8657s at jjh looks to try to be coming back in
8660s but OC is gonna push them off of this
8663s fight and now it's OC pushing on to team
8665s GS looking to clean up you here and
8667s we're gonna see the Wu Chen ult come out
8669s and that's gonna buy them a lot sorry OC
8672s enough distance to get the Reese set
8675s here as OC sorry not OC oh my goodness
8679s as OC tries to pressure on to gs's you
8682s there but GS will get the full reset you
8685s get date you're right yeah
8689s sometimes this sometimes it's a struggle
8691s we're gonna say too many G's too many
8693s G's
8694s Odyssey there are so many G's in this
8697s goddamn League it's something that's
8698s driven me x's and G's all of our teams
8701s have X and G in their name it drives me
8703s goddamn mad and they're all they're all
8705s just letters give me like give me team
8707s Lions or team
8709s team turnip like where are these guys
8712s it's all x's and G's man it's it's hard
8714s my advice to any uh any teams that want
8718s to be joining the nbpl or any of the
8720s other naraka leagues give yourself a
8723s distinct name
8724s give yourself you know
8726s don't be don't be uh
8728s don't be an abbreviation I want team
8730s onion I want team turnip
8733s I want you know
8735s big energy that's what I want
8738s [Laughter]
8746s on it
8748s interesting how honestly this game is
8751s about third Pace as well the first game
8753s was so fast-paced and oh no
8755s acgnan you can't be going out on a donut
8758s mate you need to get a kill for your
8760s team it can't go like this wbg Jing
8762s trying to finish up a member Knight HQ
8765s dodging away desperately avoiding as PP
8768s actually did go down to balder in the
8770s meanwhile as a KLA and KZ able to secure
8774s themselves a couple of fights a couple
8775s of kills versus each other they're all
8778s going to see the Morris blessing come
8779s down and bowder they're gonna be the
8781s ones to pick it up getting himself up to
8783s four kills now it's just xcg who are
8786s killless so they are not having the
8788s greatest performance for themselves so
8790s far
8791s you know very interesting to see the
8792s performance coming out of xcg to be fair
8794s though they aren't on that comp that
8796s they were so dominant you know in during
8799s the first two games they're running a
8800s variation though and they're still using
8802s points for monk as I do believe jonon is
8804s running monk for that particular or this
8807s particular comp that they're playing so
8809s it's interesting to see that they're
8811s willing to uh use the extra points just
8814s to run Monk on another comp that they
8816s don't feel is as viable as the ferry
8819s account they were running in games one
8821s and two uh KLA here knocking some people
8824s out of that no old Zone and able to pick
8826s up the elimination there onto cases hazy
8828s that said xcg still in the game they are
8831s losing members though Ling and 10 goes
8834s down immediately as if to just cast or
8837s curse them because I said their names
8838s they're going to lose it two members
8840s that are now down to just their Takeda
8843s here bow down moving across the map
8846s about like you said four eliminations
8848s finally under their belts here as they
8850s get ready to head in to our mid to late
8853s game it is zone three getting ready to
8855s collapse on to zone four in the next one
8857s minute and 33 seconds here team GG in a
8862s very similar situation as they were a
8863s last game with only a couple of
8865s eliminations under their belt heading
8867s into the late game but this more
8868s traditional monk com a place where GG's
8871s 330 is quite comfortable and they have
8873s the gear to back this comp up right
8875s miskia here obviously has the legendary
8878s nunchucks so he's going to do quite a
8879s bit of damage when he transforms into
8881s uaishan and of course the monk with
8883s purple armor and there's a legendary uh
8885s nunchucks as well it's going to be doing
8887s it quite well as becoming these final
8889s circles jjh is two Lee here just
8891s absolutely butchered down by the
8894s remaining members of wbg a little bit of
8897s a BM coming in from uh Julie there with
8899s the poison Splash he's like look I'm
8900s gonna make you burn some resources if
8902s you pick up the elimination on me here
8904s but we love to see it come through it's
8906s all in good fun right Jake poison Splash
8908s is genuinely the most Petty uh Soul Jade
8911s in the game it's like it's a soldier you
8914s you kind of lose a slot on your soul
8916s Jade because like you you don't have a
8918s combat Soldier or something it's it's
8919s the this is when I die I'm just gonna
8921s flip you the middle finger like that's
8923s that's what it does I know technically
8925s in trios it's better than solos because
8927s in Trio is putting that poison Splash
8929s they turn the tides of the fight and you
8931s might be able to get resurrected but in
8933s those cases just pure spiteful there uh
8935s GG with this Mystic Mike right now are
8937s just kind of keeping an eye on everybody
8940s down uh on the low ground of some wings
8943s rest
8944s ing to see you know who's in the area 29
8948s teams are still left
8950s xcg only down to their Takeda though and
8953s they are potentially going to be going
8955s out on a donut here considering the
8958s start they had for today technically
8959s they could afford it but it would be
8961s very disappointing to see them go out on
8963s that donut you know we at the moment
8964s it's a round of quick maths about a 30
8967s point lead to xcg over anybody close to
8970s them so
8972s they are set up they they can afford to
8975s have a bad game but I don't think they
8977s want to have a bad game I think they'd
8978s like to at least get a couple of points
8980s or a point on them all on the uh on the
8982s board nobody's had a donut so they'd be
8985s setting records for the year the first
8986s team to get a win the first team to get
8989s 20 kills the first team to get zero
8991s points it you know they could be they
8993s could be taken off a whole bunch of
8994s things here if they if they do end up
8996s going for that uh for now though you
8999s know low is saying slightly having a bit
9000s of a performance in battle routine I'm
9002s gonna keep my eye on because
9003s they were Moxie's team to watch coming
9005s into season two and they let her down
9008s they did not have a good season they
9009s were one of the worst teams in the
9012s league and coming into this season it's
9014s not been an amazing performance in the
9015s first two games it's only two games so
9017s you know there's room to grow there's
9019s room to make mistakes but
9021s eyes are on them to see you know are
9023s they going to be performing better than
9025s previously before is that wbg uh Jing
9028s right now being hunted by OC oh see
9032s gonna get the shots in for the bow from
9034s the on The High Ground and uh I think
9036s for Jing he might be in a bit of danger
9038s here uh already down one of his
9040s teammates so could just be looking to
9042s join them unfortunately it's gonna throw
9043s down the Yoto ultimate
9045s partly for Mobility partly for damage
9047s but with the both shots coming in all
9049s it's gonna take is one more of those is
9051s Jing taken out by Z Meng
9054s yeah those bow shots absolutely massive
9056s coming in through there of course when
9058s you've got the scanner shot and those
9060s fire arrows it's so much damage coming
9062s through because it's hard enough to
9064s avoid those bow shots when you have
9066s scatter shot but if you charge up to
9068s those fire arrows even if the two side
9070s arrows miss you the splash damage that
9073s comes out from the fire hitting the
9074s ground around you still hits you for the
9077s initial damage and re-ignites you on top
9080s of it so you're taking that fire tick
9081s for even longer right it's one of my
9084s favorite combos to run personally when
9086s I'm running the bow and if you can get
9087s burst arrow on top of it you can
9089s absolutely Blitz entire teams as a solo
9092s player from range so OC really set up to
9096s succeed with that particular bow set up
9098s for their players there and you see just
9101s how quickly the damage came out for them
9102s valda once again on the back side at top
9105s of the order over here on the map just
9107s looking for some High Ground here we're
9109s gonna see some cannon shots it looks
9110s like come out lion TT trying to do some
9112s pistol shots as well just trying to keep
9114s that rage built and make these other
9116s teams waste resources at GS here with
9118s quite a few eliminations under their
9120s belt but they haven't been able to find
9121s the armor they're looking for they
9123s haven't been able to get into those
9124s Realms of Yang or secure those uh Morris
9127s blessings and they're going to actually
9128s be fought off of this one by team bow
9131s down because they have the temulk to
9133s come through with the sandstorm to just
9136s buy them this box for free nobody can
9138s really contest that unless they also
9140s have a temmie so that Viper comp isn't
9143s really going to be able to do anything
9144s into this and I was going to walk away
9146s with some significant gear upgrades for
9149s their team
9154s coming through here we're going to see
9155s those bows shots coming in from a team
9158s OC trying to land them down on the
9160s mountain and look at you can see how
9161s much that fire tick does those bow shots
9163s didn't land directly but maumon losing
9166s most of the extra Health that they have
9169s here just to the fire tick coming in
9171s with a massive Cannon shot on to TK's AK
9174s and now it's just gonna push into this
9177s battle with a significant Advantage here
9179s AKA able to find some healing and get
9182s back into it looking to push
9185s HCG setting records the first season
9189s trios of the year
9190s to get a zero pointer first 20 bomb
9194s first zero points first win
9196s but not first hat trick I'll have to try
9199s again for that later
9202s all right still that title's still up
9203s for grabs oh my word that Zephyr
9208s sometimes Zephyr just catches you off
9209s guard it's horrendous you're like oh why
9212s can't I move oh I've been zephyred
9214s amazing
9215s one of those one of those very very fun
9217s abilities
9219s not not fun to be on the other side of
9221s anyway uh 10 things remain 27 players
9224s there's actually less players than
9226s previously I think
9227s at this point last time we had about 30
9229s players so actually they're pretty good
9232s on the uh on the on the
9235s kill score I guess without kills that
9237s took me a moment to cook there it's in
9239s the meteor coming in I see on right now
9241s meteor is very effective because it's a
9243s very open area so getting those
9245s basically straightforward shots on the
9247s cannon gonna be very very powerful
9249s meteor one of those uh one of those
9251s soldiers we don't see enough I love
9252s meteor uh bouncing shell I think can
9256s sometimes kind of a little bit uh
9258s because sometimes you're like you're
9259s bouncing shot and you're like you you
9261s could land the shot but you're just the
9262s bouncing The Bouncing messes you up but
9264s have seen some cool angles with meteor
9266s bouncing as well to kind of get inside
9268s buildings and get that Splash damage
9270s down but everybody right now
9272s just playing Treehouse here like Bart
9274s Simpson trying to see if they can
9276s remain king of their tree house for the
9278s moment you know this honestly reminds me
9280s of we've got we've got the team in the
9282s middle and both teams on the other sides
9284s raining cannons down do you remember the
9286s game worms yes this is exactly what this
9290s makes me think of with the cannon shots
9291s just coming in they're they're taking
9293s turns taking pop shots at the team
9296s sitting in the middle there that's
9297s exactly what this feels like Jake oh
9300s up that's I love it I absolutely
9302s love worms well this is like one of my
9304s favorite games as a kid
9314s worms in
9316s that's a brilliant game
9318s I like all the words of British
9321s who made that decision he went you know
9323s what the worms used to be Brits I don't
9325s know if it's a British company that
9326s makes worms I actually have no idea who
9327s made it but
9329s man
9331s takes me back to my PS1 and that does
9333s yeah yeah it does and again here it was
9336s just these cannon shots coming out and
9338s this is all about getting these teams to
9340s burn resources right as well as
9341s maintaining that rage so that if you are
9344s the team that gets caught out you have
9346s those ultimates to fall back onto when
9348s you get pushed onto and it's very
9350s important for these teams to continue to
9352s do that and especially you know burning
9354s resources seems like it's not really
9356s that important especially if you're
9358s playing you know pubs or normal in the
9360s game right because there's almost always
9362s stashes around for you to pick and stuff
9364s but here coming in these final zones
9366s there's no shops left in the zone and
9369s all of these little things have been
9371s picked through by these teams right the
9373s only time you're going to get a restock
9375s is when you eliminate other players so
9377s making these players burn through
9379s resources is going to leave them in a
9381s situation where they potentially don't
9383s have anything and it can't re-shield up
9386s in a crucial moment even if they can
9388s find the space to do it and then also
9391s why likewise if other teams are in need
9392s of resources they may eliminate some of
9394s these teams and if you've been burning
9396s through them they're going to find
9397s themselves with a little kind of shocked
9399s Pikachu face when they go to loot those
9401s bodies and there's nothing there for
9403s them
9404s no absolutely it's gonna be uh it's
9406s gonna be a little rough on that front
9407s but four minutes left 26 players left
9410s and uh it feels like the worms have been
9412s forced out of their High grounds and now
9415s back down to the low ground wow speaking
9417s is really hard but apparently what oh my
9419s word
9420s I'm beatboxing not talking here
9423s apparently and
9424s SS phone down the Viper ultimate doesn't
9426s actually connect it onto anybody oh ug
9428s still continuing to pick up some kills
9430s they're trying to catch up with KLA I
9432s believe those accountable just came out
9433s but we are going to see an answer from
9435s the Yoto ultimate SS oh it's breaks able
9438s to get away to safety and everybody now
9440s falls down onto this low ground a couple
9442s of Transformers have thrown down those
9444s Transformations here is sad looking for
9446s the grabs not able to find them
9448s unfortunately as ykc looking to try and
9450s get a kill actually TK getting the push
9453s back they may actually lose AK in the
9455s mean Wireless ykc is being thrown into
9458s the zone and grab has come out from stat
9460s into the double slab beautiful stuff but
9463s he is burning he is ticking Ping Tao
9467s with the Tactical nuke locking the
9469s entire Lobby in place either doesn't
9472s capitalize and get himself one kill with
9474s the vertical strike but now oug coming
9476s in for a bit of Revenge looking to find
9478s pinktow but he scrambles he squirrels up
9480s the top of the tree so he can get
9482s himself a bit of a hill and malman gets
9484s one grab maybe looking for a second but
9486s may just also go for the slam instead
9489s the lion TT takes down jjh's Reign and
9493s this action is going to be building so
9495s there's still 22 players with three
9497s minutes left in the game
9499s yeah absolutely insane I I can't get
9503s over the Tactical nuke there from
9504s McDowell it's been a long time since
9505s we've seen a good nuke come in typically
9508s what we see coming into these final
9509s circles are like vipers who are the last
9512s remaining member of their team and they
9514s drop down and they get a Lobby stun but
9516s they you know they have nothing to
9517s capitalize on it their whole team's gone
9519s but we see Ping Tao come in his full
9521s team there doesn't even need the team to
9523s capitalize he just instantly picks up a
9525s kill and then squirrels away before
9527s anybody can pick up the elimination on
9529s Doom we're gonna see here about us lion
9531s TT knocks back all of Team KZ up top
9535s sends him flying into the Zone making
9537s them take tick damage that poisoned
9539s shroom though actually going to come in
9541s and eliminate lion DT he's using that
9545s armor to just block these shots but
9547s there it is the mech's gonna go down
9549s lion TT gets pushed into the Zone
9551s there's no place to go OC's gonna pick
9552s it up oh you G's SS coming in with the
9555s Viper looking to secure to somebody but
9556s the matario he's gonna keep it from
9559s coming coming through counters the Viper
9561s Old Pink Town looking for another one we
9564s are going to see the blue Channel
9564s completed up Kelly's qgg Ping Tao here
9568s for AOW putting in work in the final
9571s Circle KLA down to two members left
9574s remaining alive but 17 eliminations
9577s under their belt it's gonna be double
9579s slam onto Slayer and another player
9583s coming in here ykc picks up yet another
9586s slam on to CXC or sorry Honda Godly here
9590s and KLA goes to 18 eliminations it's so
9595s funny because it's like I was like
9596s there's three people on the ground but
9597s it says there's 17 people and it just
9599s cuts to this and it's just everybody
9600s jumping it's just complete aerial combat
9603s right now everybody holding onto the
9605s tree for dear life they don't want to be
9607s on the ground they don't want to be
9608s doing the monks but bowdo he is a monk
9611s and he wants to find the grab KLA are
9613s two kills of getting that 20 bomb for
9615s themselves they have all three members
9617s up as well they are sitting pretty ykc
9619s has been not to the Zone this you need
9621s to find an opportunity to heal back up
9622s to squirrel Vision to see how all our
9624s little squirrels are doing they're
9626s fighting they're holding they're doing
9627s as best as they can up in the higher
9629s ground 15 seconds left oh sorry 15
9632s players left 30 seconds left as
9634s everybody is going to get forced down
9635s Ping Tao coming in with another tactical
9637s new trying to see if he can capitalize
9638s on I don't think he was able to get too
9640s much he did get himself one kill and
9641s teams are getting eliminated left to
9644s right and Center AOW they're just taking
9647s names off it's a Death Note everybody's
9650s getting locked yes coming in I've never
9651s locked out onto everybody the health
9653s bars are evaporated KLA taking people 24
9657s kills what on Earth was that it's 25
9661s bomb from KLA
9665s all right okay KLA coming in saying we
9668s don't care how far ahead xcg is this is
9673s our lobby you can go ahead and get out
9675s of here the traditional monk Cubs still
9678s alive and well here in the nbpl as KLA
9682s absolutely dumpsters the final Circle
9685s here in game number three they see all
9689s the little flying squirrels up top they
9691s perch up on the ground and say we don't
9693s care if we've got squirrels we're gonna
9695s take care of this pest problem oh my
9698s what the koalas don't need the tree
9700s apparently absolutely huge stuff coming
9704s in from Kaylee 25 kills
9706s a phenomenal Odyssey we have had some
9710s insanely high scoring games in our first
9712s three games of trios this is promising
9715s to deliver as a season already
9718s phenomenal stuff coming out from the bit
9721s of a change from the first actually it
9722s was the Pacific Rim Comfort one so again
9726s as you can see uh is this again AOW if
9730s you're using each other's mic mices mice
9732s mouse
9733s using each other's mouth mice
9736s then you're not gonna have an easy time
9737s but there we go okay hello playing it
9740s nice and cool thumbs up I haven't
9742s learned who which other players are who
9743s yet unfortunately you're a really really
9746s good game coming in from those guys and
9748s man
9749s xcg probably sweating a little bit off
9752s that one okay maybe that point lead is
9755s fairly closable we probably should play
9756s to win in the game four
9758s you know AOW there I think it's Ping Tao
9761s who grabbed the other player's Mouse
9763s there I think that's his way of saying
9765s you know what if you're not going to
9766s capitalize on all these tactical news
9768s take your mouse I'm gonna play for you
9771s real quick so that I can pick up some
9773s eliminations off of these massive stuns
9775s because I'm gonna tell you right now if
9777s I'm aow's pink Tau every one of those
9779s massive stuns he picks an elimination
9781s off of and it's almost like his team
9783s could sleep they they don't realize
9785s what's going on and like I don't know if
9787s the communication fell apart or whatever
9789s AOW picks up a fairly decent score line
9793s in this game but if the rest of the team
9795s had been paying attention like I said
9797s this is the first time in a long time
9798s we've seen a Viper come in with those
9800s massive tactical nuke stuns yeah and
9804s have the full team there the full team
9806s just almost feels like they're asleep
9807s and don't come in and capitalize on them
9809s though yeah no absolutely I I I think
9812s you know you might need to turn into
9813s monk himself and grow an extra set of
9815s arms as well but yeah no I totally agree
9818s it
9819s the most criminal one was that first one
9821s he jumps down looks like eight or nine
9824s people up gets a charge vertical strike
9826s off gets a kill then the whole Lobby
9828s drone jumps on him he squirrels up the
9830s tree and I don't know where LW were it
9832s felt like they were just you know
9834s picking their nose in the tree having a
9835s bit of fun for themselves but yeah I
9837s think the second time was a bit better
9838s they did jump down with him and AOW
9840s capitalized on some kills but I honestly
9842s feel like yeah this could have been AWS
9845s game because I believe KLA were the team
9848s who got one of the teams he got locked
9849s down in that big first one if those guys
9851s are not taken out suddenly one of the
9853s biggest threats in the lobby is gone and
9854s that could have been AWS but you know
9856s this is all you know speculation this is
9858s all Captain hindsight stuff coming in
9860s from us so you know the sugar would us
9862s did come forward but ping pow did have a
9865s good game and I mean
9866s pink Tower is up there for me with the
9868s likes of vvv as one of the best uh
9872s uh vipers there we go a complete profile
9875s there the hero's name there uh one of
9877s the best vipers in the uh in the game
9879s right now so you know expectations are
9882s they got they are gonna find these
9883s opportunities these windows to find
9885s those really really big lockdowns so
9888s yeah big stuff from him I'm excited to
9890s see you know maybe AOW they are a team
9893s who've kind of always been middle I'd
9895s like to see maybe this could be a season
9897s where they show us a little bit more
9898s than that as uh we will have a look at
9900s the scoreboard I love when it comes out
9902s this trapdoor this is such a cool this
9904s is such a cool stage I I think season
9906s three stages better than any of the
9907s other ones we've had anyway 45 points
9910s for KLA what the hell
9913s that's massive yeah absolutely huge game
9917s here when you get that many eliminations
9918s and you get that multiplier for first
9920s place I mean they turn 25 kills into 40
9924s points and then of course you get the
9925s five ranking points as well this is a
9927s huge game for likes of KLA I do believe
9930s our largest scoring game last season in
9934s terms of eliminations was 29
9937s eliminations so KLA trying to come up on
9940s to that number I don't think we got the
9942s 30 bomb I think we got very very close
9944s as I'm looking at my notes Here with a
9946s 29 bomb so KLA trying to work their way
9948s there and it feels like every game the
9951s score lines are just getting bigger Jake
9953s yeah no they really are it it just feels
9956s like it's getting
9957s scarier and scarier for any team who's
9960s playing in group uh group a because like
9963s right now they're like okay we got a lot
9965s of catching up to do already
9967s and there's still three more games left
9969s to go and that's what's that Lobby so I
9972s worry there's an element of like group a
9974s might struggle to score this High just
9977s because of how many good teams there are
9978s I think there'll be such a large like
9979s skill spread but it actually might be
9981s hard to catch up but it was all the
9983s individual scores and how everybody did
9985s on their own in that game just really
9988s solid stuff coming in 34k damage 11
9991s kills from uh
9993s ocg I assume when we get the MVP card
9996s with it but this is you know it was a
9999s weird stuff because I believe AOW I
10001s still lost the fight pretty hard early
10002s beginning of the game
10004s get a real number on all of the teams
10007s yeah depends coming out the ocean
10012s why Casey
10014s phenomenal game here but qgd he was the
10018s star of the show he really worked
10021s absolutely
10024s look at this this is such a huge bags
10029s they're just not there capitalizing on
10031s anything comes through again another
10033s massive stun able to pick that one up
10035s the wee Channel buying most of that one
10038s team out but I do believe there was
10039s another stun that comes in from AOW
10041s right here yeah and he's just gonna pick
10043s up quite a bit and then at KLA here
10046s though it's still just capitalized
10048s because they're still alive what a final
10051s Circle that was there I do want to
10053s hearken back to earlier in the game
10054s where KLA the monk gets stunned out by
10057s the Viper up on top of that rock we just
10059s saw it there in the replay huge shout
10061s out to the kurumi because the kurumi
10064s manages to break line of sight from the
10065s Viper and while they break line of sight
10068s they throw the umbrella back to the monk
10070s as soon as the Viper ends the TP back
10074s onto the umbrella and drop the old so
10076s that even though the monk is just being
10078s completely focused down by the other
10080s team ykc doesn't get eliminated the
10083s healing is just too strong for them to
10085s kill through and they're able to make
10087s make it happen but of course no
10089s surprises here qgg gonna be the MVP with
10092s a total of 34 000 damage 11 kills and 10
10097s assists that's 21 kill participation out
10101s of 25 that's sitting in the 86 kill
10105s participation range for a game with a 25
10107s bomb absolutely massive for the steam
10110s yeah really really big stuff I GGG
10112s played phenomenal though in KLA you know
10115s one of our new teams to the uh to the
10119s tournament I guess I have bring up me
10121s and you mate are our heads aren't
10123s working today are they uh but yeah no
10125s obviously Kelly a fresh a fresh face hit
10127s in the league and getting 25 kills in
10129s their third game uh I believe game one
10131s and two were pretty good for them as
10133s well maybe not um xcg level was good but
10136s they're gonna be reeling them in I I'd
10138s love to look at the overall scoreboard
10139s at some point and to see you know where
10141s we're sitting on that and how people are
10143s going to be looking because yeah that is
10145s a if your ex xcg right now you're you're
10148s probably sweating a little bit because
10150s you were comfortably ahead of everyone
10152s else and then a 40 bomb gets dropped and
10154s you're like ah we're interested we're in
10156s danger that you know the route it's the
10158s Ralph will give me yeah Chuckles I'm in
10159s danger because they're just seeing
10161s another team just get 25 kills and
10164s absolutely slam a Lobby and a whole
10166s bunch of other teams are also scoring
10168s high at least consistently scoring well
10170s so it's one of those things where game
10173s four we need to see xcg step up but
10175s anyway it's time for us to throw it over
10177s to Jaeger standing by with our players
10179s for an interview after that game
10183s hey guys welcome to post game interview
10185s this is and now I'm standing here
10188s with the king from the team oug and let
10190s him say hello to our audience
10197s and first I have a question because we
10200s know that you take a video for mbpl just
10203s before the match so I'd like to know
10205s how's your feeling like being an actor
10207s and on set you think who is the best
10211s actor on setup
10218s um
10222s foreign
10245s because it's like the first time to be
10248s like an actor and take the like video or
10251s like a small movie and he think onset is
10254s very hard for everyone because sometimes
10256s a little part we need to practice a long
10259s time and try a much time several times
10262s to photo it and they are very hard and I
10266s think the best actor is like all of us
10268s are just like the same but I think being
10271s an actor is very interesting way and
10273s experience okay so let's move on to the
10277s next part is answer for treasure okay
10281s you guys can see a question on the
10283s screen and if you know the answer just
10285s type it in the chat box and after our
10289s player counting three two one we will
10291s take a screenshot and the lucky guy will
10293s be whispered so today's question is
10296s which team is leading the second board
10299s now um
10340s okay so he said um for this these uh
10345s these things they all have very good
10347s performance and for the correct answer I
10350s will tell you later okay so I'll play
10352s our player is prepared and let's start
10354s counting
10356s three two one screenshot
10359s okay so people
10362s into your mailbox and
10364s guy you will be whispered
10367s now the correct answer
10369s correct answer yeah and because the king
10372s said he think every team today is very
10375s good performance and the thing he thinks
10378s performs the best today is xcg and also
10382s our correct answer is xcg okay so I also
10386s have like
10387s um more questions like for you because
10389s we know for last seasons you are doing
10392s the solo game and why you like transfer
10395s to the trolls game and how how's that
10397s feeling is
10405s um
10410s foreign
10424s so the king said actually you really
10428s want to try in the trails game like in
10430s the last season but at that time they
10432s don't have change because in the team
10435s they already have the true skin player
10437s and now he have chance to try the trolls
10440s game and he thinks it's very fun okay
10442s now truth when you get that some
10444s patterns
10449s so I would like to say good luck to the
10452s king and we will take a break and be
10453s right back later
10459s foreign
10480s [Music]
10496s foreign
10523s [Music]
10525s idea
10532s foreign
10544s [Music]
10553s [Music]
10563s foreign
10569s foreign
10587s [Music]
10615s thank you
10616s [Music]
10642s foreign
10646s [Music]
10671s thank you
10674s hello everybody and welcome back sorry I
10677s got completely caught off there we have
10679s the scoreboards for you guys here so as
10681s you can see these currently are the 14
10683s teams that have been playing OCR at the
10686s bottom of the ladder uh unfortunately
10689s for them I think there's no one here I'm
10692s not unexpected to see but let's look at
10694s the top 70 points including a zero point
10697s game from xdg in the first three games
10699s absolutely huge uh KLA currently on 58
10703s points and then oug on 38 points
10706s still a pretty significant lead for ACG
10709s right now pretty significantly
10711s yeah xcg's having a very good day you
10713s know game three here like like you said
10715s they can afford to have one bad game and
10719s here's the thing as long as you
10720s consistently play throughout the day and
10722s you have one or two pop-off games that
10725s consistency can be enough to take you to
10726s the end so even though xcg had a bad
10728s game here if they come through and even
10731s have you know top five finishes for the
10733s next three games realistically nobody
10737s can catch up to them yeah absolutely I
10739s think that's that's the uh
10741s that's kind of the major problem right
10743s now for some of these teams obviously
10744s you know there's still more games to go
10746s there's more days to play before we get
10748s to those bi-weekly finals so there is
10750s still room in other places to catch up
10752s it's just today it's it's if all they
10755s really need is just a couple more good
10756s decent games and then they should be
10757s A-Okay but KLA TV cop really rule off
10760s you know they had a maybe a bit of a
10762s slower start a 10 three-point games but
10764s then coming in on that 45-point game
10766s really closing the Gap and actually
10768s buying themselves a very comfortable
10769s position to push forward I mean some
10771s teams don't even get 40 points in a
10773s bi-weekly at all for the whole thing so
10776s for them to actually be on 45 points off
10778s a single game you know pretty big for
10780s them on that front I'll keep my eye on
10782s them see if it was maybe a fluke maybe
10783s some of the other teams had been forced
10785s off you know like xcg or forced off
10788s their like more comfortable comps and
10789s maybe felt a little bit more weak where
10791s uh Kayla whatever I actually played uh
10795s the the team that everyone else has been
10796s playing you know this this pharaoh and
10797s monkey comp so I guess we'll just give
10799s our eyes across the rest of the day and
10801s see how it's gonna look I'm excited to
10803s see what the uh what the hero select is
10804s gonna be going into this game so we've
10806s got a another motorcycle coming up and
10808s then after that we're going straight in
10809s to horrock for game five so a bit like
10812s the beginning of the day two games back
10813s to back and well I think all that really
10815s does is we saw for uh xcg that Tempo
10819s really suits them actually you know
10821s winning a game and then basically almost
10823s instantly getting into the next game you
10824s have very little down time
10826s kind of did them some favors I think you
10828s know that Tempo probably really helps
10829s but also it goes the other way if you're
10831s a Wonder team who's had a rough game and
10833s he kind of barely gets time to detox and
10835s cleanse your mind as you go straight
10837s into another like high intensity game it
10840s can be a little bit hard I guess
10842s yeah I mean absolutely Tempo definitely
10845s carries through and when you have such a
10847s short time between games it's very easy
10848s to keep that same adrenaline going keep
10851s that same communication going you know
10853s you you kind of when you lock it in with
10855s your teammates like that you have to get
10857s into that zone right when there's so
10859s little time between games it's very easy
10861s to stay in that zone you don't get off
10864s the stage you don't get away from your
10865s computer you're literally just still
10867s there with your teammates going okay
10869s we're here we're locked in let's get it
10872s for the next game and like you said it
10873s served xcg very well for the first two
10875s games
10876s and here we are we have our biggest
10878s break between games three and four we're
10880s coming back we're going to Morris Isle
10882s again
10882s and I want to talk about team KLA you
10884s know I think a little bit had to do with
10886s some of the teams kind of came off their
10887s comfort comps a little bit
10889s but our first and second final circles
10892s really didn't favor that more
10894s traditional monk comp whatsoever you
10896s know our first final Circle being in the
10899s shadow Jade mine and there were all
10900s those different little Terraces where
10902s people were on lots of space for people
10904s to maneuver and Feria really had the
10907s opportunity to shine there because she
10909s can maneuver jump up in the air get
10911s those shots down on the monks well the
10912s monks are going to be struggling to get
10914s those grabs and if the monks come from
10916s that High Ground to the low ground to
10917s try to get the players who are huddling
10919s hiding away from them all of a sudden
10921s those players have so many more movement
10922s options to go top side while the monk is
10925s going to struggle to go back up and then
10927s into our second Circle we had that no
10929s alt Zone pop where the final moments
10932s those monk teams were very much looking
10934s to kind of ride that transformation out
10937s through those final circles and had it
10940s completely denied from them but the
10942s third circle was much more typical of
10945s like a season one final Circle for those
10948s monk comps where there's a couple of
10949s trees but it's very much a wide open
10952s area they can get a lot of those grabs
10954s off and we saw KLA doing exactly that
10956s right every single time they came down
10958s to the ground the little squirrels would
10959s come down and they would just scoop up
10961s two of them and all of a sudden you
10963s would watch them they picked up from
10964s like 16 eliminations all the way up to
10966s 25 off the back of that monkey oh just
10969s to bop bop bop bop it would go down they
10972s would kind of scurry away for a little
10973s bit but the squirrels didn't want to
10975s leave the trees so KLA just gets to take
10977s that full reset gets the old back up and
10979s as soon as it comes back up those
10981s numbers just keep climbing
10983s absolutely well we're getting close
10985s towards that here at select so we'll use
10987s what the cops are going to be looking
10988s like obviously power points are going to
10990s be a big thing to watch some teams as
10992s you noted in the previous game
10994s took away the fire and then replaced it
10997s with something else but kept the monks
10998s so they're burning a lot of points on
10999s that punk uh which is always something
11001s you're gonna kind of got to keep in mind
11003s is you know
11004s is
11006s like how many times can you play a cop
11007s per day you know as a second per day you
11010s know how many times can you then recycle
11011s that hero into overcomes uh before you
11014s need to kind of really change everything
11015s up and can these teams play more than
11018s just these woncons because at the moment
11020s as you can see xcg they're two games on
11023s this very complex on your screen and
11025s fake rushed it it looks so so good but
11029s then they don't play this comp they have
11031s to play an iteration they had a cicada
11034s in there and
11036s it didn't work it just it just flat up
11039s didn't work for them they scored zero
11040s points they had a really bad game they
11042s lost the first fight they took at the
11044s beginning of the game used their
11045s resurrection and then played nervous and
11047s on the back foot and then ended out
11049s dropping the game due to that so uh you
11052s know are they gonna go back to Old
11054s Faithful here are they gonna try
11056s something else are they a wonkoff team I
11058s think that's the real question I've been
11059s the best teams and the teams that are
11061s capable of playing whatever comp they
11063s are given I think that was what was so
11065s powerful about the likes of fpx uh back
11069s in the day because fbx were a team who
11071s you know they could just play multiple
11073s different comps they were very good at
11075s the Yoto comp they could still play the
11076s monk cop very well xcg they they won
11080s season two we know they're a capable
11082s team
11083s so I'm curious you know how prepared
11085s they were maybe that game was just an
11086s off thing and I guess we'll find out
11087s this game you know if they have a good
11089s game on a different team than the
11090s previous two then I think it's fair to
11092s say okay game three was just a uh he got
11095s on the road I guess so quite honestly I
11099s I didn't like that particular comp that
11101s they put together it didn't really have
11102s any Cadence uh they don't synergize well
11105s whatsoever Takeda and Matari kind of
11108s work well together because Matari can
11110s lock opponents down with the backstab
11112s but I mean the monk just doesn't really
11114s fit in there right yes he can grab
11117s players that Matari is locking down with
11119s the backstab but she only gets two of
11121s those teleports and has to burn our
11123s ultimate for it it's a lot to commit for
11126s potentially maybe one grab out of the
11129s Monk and Takeda just doesn't really do
11131s anything to buy the monk any protection
11134s so it was interesting to see that xcg
11137s brought the monk into that comp I feel
11139s like they literally could have run any
11140s other hero they could have run zip or
11142s anybody like that and been fine but
11145s that's not what happened xcg here
11147s xiaoman once again locking the monkey
11149s now they're going to a more traditional
11151s comp right where they're bringing in
11152s kurumi and of course
11154s on here but the problem is is they've
11156s run monk three times today they're gonna
11158s start running very very low on those
11161s hero points to be able to continue to
11164s pick these Transformer comps and you
11166s know they've already run Feria twice so
11168s it's not like they can turn to another
11169s comp and run Feria in that comp either
11172s this may come to bite them in the
11175s backside later today as we get into
11178s games five and six OC going to be
11179s running that uh fairy aversion of the
11182s Transformers comp here but also their
11184s third game running monk a lot of these
11187s teams still kind of crutching that
11190s Transformer comp and I want to talk
11191s about wbg because this is another comp
11193s why are we running monk with Takeda and
11196s z-ping it just doesn't make any sense
11198s you can literally run any other hero and
11200s and the Credence and tempo of that team
11202s is so much better monk just does not
11205s synergize with the Takeda no not at all
11209s but uh that's what's been locked in
11211s there's a few teams who are currently on
11212s 10 hero points uh so they are burning
11214s through those points fairly quickly so
11216s by game six we could see some you know
11218s just vowders and stuff purely off my
11220s factory burnt all of their points uh but
11223s you know there's still room to kind of
11224s rocking the Yoto and stuff like that as
11225s well but here we go in to game number
11229s four back to Morris Isle once again
11232s there's a fairly large cluster I believe
11234s towards the shadow Jay mine it's either
11236s uh KZ and KLC just off to the side of
11240s the sun Wings rest as well but game four
11243s and KLA after honesty the most just
11247s Monumental start to the game
11249s currently looking to grab himself some
11252s gear and get himself into this fight
11254s nice little blue dagger there picked up
11256s as Casey jumping onto klas uh White KC
11260s he's got himself pin against the tree
11262s for the moment trying to get the damage
11264s off on to these members
11266s thoughts in a way but ykc is just being
11268s jungled around the team are behind him
11269s some space at the moment they've
11270s actually been able to secure themselves
11271s one kill already fans in now getting
11274s very low HP that was a lot of damage
11276s that just landed onto him and they
11277s should just be able to finish him up
11279s he's trying to get away he's getting
11280s those three charges down but the cannon
11282s shots coming in he gets a bunch of
11283s damage off in KLA able to secure
11285s themselves a second kill are they gonna
11288s be able to get that third yes they do
11289s off-screen three members down already at
11293s a really solid start to KLA once again
11295s you know I Gotta Give it to ykc here
11297s swapping to the cannon in the face of
11300s the threat of those nunchucks with the
11301s meter dump potentially coming out is
11304s absolutely a massive risk and he makes
11306s it work in his favor there as he does
11308s enough damage and is able to hot swap
11310s back to the dagger and I think uh we saw
11313s a little bit of a panic come out there
11314s because the other player had that blue
11316s charge on the nunies and decided to tap
11318s Dodge away after the damage from the
11320s cannon came out if they had let that rip
11322s into the face of uh KLA they might have
11325s actually picked up that elimination but
11327s the damage being so much I think they
11330s were just kind of caught off guard there
11331s ug coming in now speaking of catching
11333s teams off guard onto team OC we do see
11336s the mech come down from Team OC though
11338s and SS absolutely locked down here in
11341s the sandstorm no place to go ug is going
11344s to lose one of their members the king
11345s also stuck here within the sandstorm and
11348s Fifi just pummeling down onto them OC
11352s will pick up all three eliminate Asians
11356s here and oug even though they have the
11358s elements prize I misspoke zinyu just
11360s popped up on the map they only pick up
11361s two eliminations there but still oug
11364s with the element of surprise comes in
11366s and gets absolutely destroyed by team OC
11369s yeah really nice little fight therefore
11371s I see six kills right now GG actually
11374s have found KLA here they haven't got the
11377s sandstorm up available to them
11379s let's see how the others are doing on
11381s their ultimates as well it doesn't look
11382s like Alex M at least has his they might
11385s just be hunting KLA here
11387s yeah they will now probably see them
11389s come into views the grapples do land in
11391s and now okay trying to see if they've
11394s got the ability to hold on and maybe
11395s take the Skirmish here take this fight
11397s for themselves and get themselves up to
11399s those six kill marks but now though a
11401s lot of damage lands onto qgg he's
11404s chunked already gonna be forced to go in
11406s for the transformation on the uh Shen
11407s into the Terracotta Warrior getting one
11409s slam down onto Miss Kia Miss Kia is low
11411s HP he could be in danger through for you
11413s buying some space on his own for the
11415s moment as he is chunked as well KLA just
11419s keeping this unrelenting aggression up
11421s as missed here does get healed in the
11423s nick of time and cxd now in danger for
11425s qgg coming with a great slam to save the
11427s day as cxd trying to heal up just trying
11430s to keep the sustained over Alex M is
11432s just juggling him he's knocked up his
11434s Airborne he's dodging everything he's
11436s vulnerable towards him somehow CXC is
11439s able to hold fast as way Casey uh has
11442s gone for the uh transformation to see if
11445s he can find himself a grab but
11446s everybody's on the wrong side of this
11448s tree for him he needs to be able to
11450s reposition to try and save the day three
11452s for you plucked out the tree and this
11455s should just be a free and easy kill for
11457s these guys and they're able to get
11459s themselves another one in the pocket
11462s Miss care has healed up and now jumping
11464s out onto ykc he hasn't got the
11466s transformation does of the Bell quick
11467s armor swap stolen away to give himself a
11470s little bit of life is Miss Kia losing a
11472s fair amount of Health the bell's gonna
11473s get popped they're gonna knock him with
11474s the uppercut into the mushroom
11475s potentially not even needed kill number
11478s five for KLA
11480s okay KLA coming out very strong here
11483s into that particular column uh miskia
11485s the Takeda playing the very beginning of
11488s that fight very well using the old to
11490s shove the kurumi out of the old giving
11492s them extremely low but unfortunately
11493s their team gets a little bit separated
11495s and decade is just not able to get the
11498s follow through to get those last hits
11499s onto the kurumi and once they get
11501s separated at Gigi's 330 actually finds
11504s himself completely separated from his
11506s team trying to go Skyward to get away
11508s the monk picks up a huge grab and 330
11511s being uh the monk player that he is he
11513s just knows that it's over right we see
11515s the vertical long sword slash come in
11516s the slam followed up by another vertical
11518s long sword slash he just doesn't get to
11520s play the game he's completely deleted
11522s there and then mischia almost as if to
11524s make a little bit of a misplay for some
11525s reason comes back into the fight after 3
11528s 30 is already dead misky was gone there
11531s um I need to turn my attention now
11532s because jdg coming in LSR with a huge
11535s Viper old actually going to be coming
11538s through Kobe's gonna pick up Casey's
11540s again and jdg here looking to clean up
11543s the rest of this fight onto KZ Halsey
11546s going extremely low standing in that
11549s Yodo F3 taking a ton of damage does find
11551s a double grab though is looking for the
11553s opportunity to get another but is gonna
11555s get picked up and now Casey's fast can
11557s gonna be the last player there and jdg
11559s will clean up this fight
11561s yeah really nice fight for them on that
11562s front but now j h sorry taking himself a
11566s fight versus wbg already rain's taking a
11569s fair amount of damage PP unloading as
11571s much as he can there is oh that's a lot
11573s of damage coming in from the cicada
11575s ultimate able to absolutely rip a hole
11578s through the health bars Sleepwalkers
11580s forced into the transformation already
11582s he's got low teammates and scattering
11585s jjh you're just gonna kite away from
11588s Sleepwalker trying to get a grab through
11589s the door and out the window on the other
11591s side for JJ H now with the man Advantage
11594s they don't care about the monk they've
11595s put enough distance and they're just
11597s outpacing wbg slee Walker's got to the
11600s other side of the building and JJ are
11602s already gone they're already the other
11603s side of the building again trying to
11605s find a grab through that window can't
11607s quite line up the shots unfortunately
11608s there for Sleepwalker as a bit of a
11610s wasted ultimate unfortunately Jing now
11613s getting juggled as he gets caught out by
11614s the grapple hooks dodging backwards for
11616s the moment that could actually be the
11617s opportunity for wbg Sleepwalker comes in
11620s with the poles sword and mops up the
11623s three members jjh are out of here
11627s yeah Sleepwalker coming in with that
11628s Pulsar that saves that fight for wbg we
11631s saw exactly what I was talking about
11633s into that fight is that the monk really
11635s just he doesn't follow the tempo of the
11637s rest of this team right we see the Z
11640s ping and Takeda aggressively push and
11642s the fight is forced so fast and far away
11644s as soon as the monk just goes ahead and
11646s transformed that Sleepwalker can't do
11648s anything now Sleepwalker does come back
11650s in because he's such a skillful player
11652s is able to find a two-man
11655s um fully charged uh pole sword
11657s horizontal slash there picks up some
11659s huge damage and flips that fight back on
11662s its head but that Tempo almost
11664s eliminated them there in that fight they
11666s burnt so many ultimates and if it hadn't
11668s been for Sleepwalker just being such a
11670s good player I think they lose that fight
11671s Jake
11672s no no I totally agree I think
11675s you know I actually will give credit
11677s though to jjh on their ability to
11679s basically avoid Sleep Walker while he
11681s was in Monkey like they just they
11682s outpaced him super hard and this is
11684s obviously one of the drawbacks of Monk
11685s Is you can sometimes find yourself in a
11687s three versus two just because your monks
11689s transform and the other team have run
11691s away and you just can't do anything
11693s other than trying to pressure up it's a
11695s little awkward though once he
11696s untransformed comes in and does some
11698s work AOW also speaking of doing some
11700s work able to secure themselves their
11702s first two kills of the game Ping Tao
11703s honestly has been one of my players of
11706s the day I think he's been playing Super
11707s well today it's been really really fun
11709s to watch and I say that and then he
11711s comes in just gets a massive chunk of
11712s damage done on to uh the last member of
11715s TK here and should just be able to
11717s finish up even less we're gonna see the
11719s sickest 1v3 not when you get counted the
11722s king are knocked out of this game and
11724s that's two teams now already eliminated
11726s before Roma Yang the Roma Yang now has
11729s only just spawned up looking at them we
11732s got wbg versus xcg I I hope to God we
11735s see that one that's the one I want to
11737s watch the other one's got KLA in it but
11738s yes thank you observers all right this
11741s one is going to be unbelievably sick
11743s both of the monks instantly transforming
11745s off the bat here just to try and get
11747s this damage uh try to see if they can
11750s find the grasses they are avoiding each
11751s other already uh Ling Ting hang actually
11754s loses a fair amount of HP peep he's been
11756s knocked back able to just about tuck and
11758s roll away from that grab that could have
11760s come in Sleepwalker able to get one onto
11762s elixing hang we'll be able to get the
11764s slam down as well so big chunk of the
11766s Decatur ultimate comes out as well
11767s getting a massive chunk of damage down
11769s onto these guys as it looks like xcg are
11772s currently in a bit of a scary situation
11774s but Knight HQ loses his transformation
11776s as well and now the transformation is
11778s down it's all about how they can play
11780s out this fight wbg able to cash in on
11783s one kill and should be able to get the
11784s next one as well knocking up and it's an
11787s easy three for o in favor of wbg
11790s yeah wbg plays this really well and
11793s unfortunately for xcg the kurumi places
11795s that old in a really poor spot and
11798s allows herself to get grabbed up there
11800s and the target acquisition from wbg or
11803s sorry not from wbg but from xcg just
11806s isn't that great right we see them all
11808s in the Eurasian and instead of the UA
11810s Sean going to the monk as soon as the
11812s kurumi gets grabbed up to stagger the
11814s monk back to buy his space for their
11816s kurumi to escape he's just hard focused
11819s onto the Takeda who can use that alt to
11822s actually stun and push him back the
11824s target acquisition needed to change as
11826s soon as the kurumi gets grabbed and it
11828s just wasn't there KLA coming in though
11830s while I'm talking about this and just
11831s cleaning up GS they're going to win
11833s their realm of Yang as well and xcg
11836s finds themselves in a very peculiar
11838s situation once again where they need to
11840s get rid of this Yang depletion to get
11842s back into the game you know it feels
11845s like exactly what you were talking about
11847s they were very very comfortable on the
11849s Feria version of this particular comp
11852s and it almost feels like they might have
11854s been crutching it for the first two
11856s games given the fact that they do not
11858s want to run a comp without monk in it
11860s for some reason and it's coming back to
11863s bite them right you know they're on the
11864s traditional monk comp but clearly
11866s nowhere near as comfortable on this comp
11868s as they were with the Feria version of
11871s this Transformer com yeah um
11874s maybe maybe it's just a little bit of an
11877s inflated comp in the way but it it just
11879s does so much it covers so many problems
11882s for the monk but for now so I actually
11885s watching KLA once again having a killer
11888s game Nine Kills already in this game
11891s they're looking to keep the pressure up
11893s and make that into 10 as uh GS right now
11896s and a little bit of danger we did see a
11898s couple of people at the xcg they did the
11900s same thing with the Bane's breath they
11901s just went down they're gonna have those
11902s rebirth jumps and get the revives off
11904s but that's all off screen on screen KLA
11907s have just picked up their 10th kill and
11909s might just be gifting over the 11th over
11911s to KLA as they are able to just about
11914s jump away as qg keeping the pressure up
11917s on his Uhn as well he's got the uh
11919s ability to run down the slam comes in
11921s onto Anon that's gonna be it the 11th
11923s kill for KLA a really really solid
11927s couple of games coming in and look at
11929s the total points now KLA they are 0.7
11933s points behind xcg off two games
11937s yeah I mean kle you're really putting in
11940s the work and it looks like this could be
11942s a back-to-back for KLA as well well and
11945s you know that's kind of bad for the rest
11947s of these teams in the league because if
11949s two teams are able to pick up the back
11951s to back it means very few of these teams
11954s are going to be close in points to
11955s either of those teams and you know they
11958s would have to come in and do a back to
11959s back themselves just to get there and
11961s then the rest of the league is going to
11963s be extremely far behind right KLA and
11966s xcg with 70 points are both 30 points
11969s ahead of anybody else here already
11974s yeah absolutely well right now
11977s 26 players left wow we have lost a lot
11980s of players
11981s this has been a Fastback Rune I did not
11982s realize like how quick Pace this has
11984s been but I guess we've already got two
11985s teams eliminated xcg they have a player
11988s eliminated sure they got the rebirth
11991s charm trick off but uh
11993s it did still come at the cost of a
11994s player and this again for xcg this could
11998s be another donut
11999s they could they could we were talking
12001s about will they get the hat trick on the
12003s first day they might they might get the
12005s Hat Shake but with the zero point hat
12006s trick it's a world where they could
12008s happen here
12010s we'll have to see for now though jdg I'm
12013s starting to fight versus a wbg wgbg just
12016s lost their uh for Millions first mate so
12020s they're actually they've lost some of
12021s their their combat capabilities here
12023s won't have that that bailout card as a
12026s sleepwalker getting staggered just
12027s before he goes in for the slam it looks
12029s like jdg coming in good stun potential
12031s for a lockdown to multiple members Jing
12033s may just pay the ultimate price LSR
12036s seems to be staggered himself whoop and
12038s they're out nice and safe to safety but
12040s KLA may just be able to jump in and
12043s finish them up
12044s I I've got to give it here to wvg uh
12047s coming in at PP on the Takeda has
12049s covered for this team so many times
12052s again I really don't like this
12054s particular comp that they're running
12055s simply because of the fact that the the
12057s tempos don't really match each other
12059s right it's very hard to make this comp
12061s work together in a cohesive way but PP
12064s every time a bad third party comes in a
12068s Viper stun comes in he's able to
12070s separate from the team come back in and
12073s guarantee the team safety by using that
12076s Takeda ultimate and I love to see Takeda
12078s played this way he's being played in
12080s almost more of a supportive role rather
12082s than kind of this aggressive initiating
12084s role but he's capable of doing both
12086s right so he's able to just use that alt
12089s to come in and buy the space for his
12091s team to get away there and because of
12093s that wbg lives to fight another day Jing
12096s doesn't get picked out and here we see
12098s they're being chased by jdg it looks
12101s like Zhao Hui here able to actually pick
12104s up Jing and at wbg gonna get buried
12107s Sleepwalk are going to use the Bell to
12109s get the pole sword back but immediately
12110s followed up with a long sword slash
12112s there's no place for Sleepwalker to go
12114s and there it is wbg the comp finally
12117s comes back to bite them in the rear
12119s there the Decatur trying so hard to
12122s cover for the team but he just has no
12124s gas left in the tank after covering for
12127s him the first time and that's going to
12129s be it as we now move into the realm of
12131s Yang and KLA going head to head with ewg
12133s yeah KGG actually holding on that
12136s transformation for a bit for the moment
12137s they do get a lot of damage onto the
12139s monk qxc uh Z sorry there's a lot of
12142s damage as well off on the back side as
12144s it looks like jealous in a real danger
12147s here KLA won their first Romel young and
12151s it looks like they're looking to pick up
12152s their second GGG comes sliding in with
12155s the transformation on the Terracotta
12156s Warrior getting as much damage down to
12158s ewg as possible jalore is gonna get
12160s picked up we do see there was a response
12162s though from Iran who's transformed
12163s himself
12165s ykc able to get himself healed back up
12168s by the tether here but they are gonna
12170s fire up the damage onto their monk
12171s finishing it up and there's only one
12173s member left in your ran he'll be losing
12175s transform fairly soon longsword slash is
12178s there
12179s and KLA with a beautiful fight the
12182s second Roma Yang as well of this game
12185s just gonna grab what they can probably
12187s gonna miss it Mike there's a golden pot
12189s um spear in there is not spear what's
12192s the other thing staff that's the word
12194s perfect as well the Transformers right
12197s now now they are gonna be rocking some
12199s seriously good gear golden armor and
12201s both are golden weapons on both of their
12202s Transformers looking for that golden
12203s armor as well and they are gonna be an
12206s Unstoppable team they're gonna have a
12207s lot of kills I mean we we've got to talk
12210s about the fact that it's also only zone
12211s three so that's the second realm of Yang
12213s they have 14 eliminations under the Bell
12216s right now KLA is sitting with 17.3 game
12219s score already many of these other teams
12222s haven't even seen a 17 scoreline for
12224s their entire first three games so KOA
12228s coming in here absolutely putting in
12231s work and the thing is is xcg needs to be
12235s worried about this now because uh yeah
12237s they have already support up to them
12239s yeah they've been they've been
12241s completely surpassed and KLA looks to be
12243s having an absolutely dominating second
12247s game here back to back xcg down on
12249s actually looks like they're about to be
12251s picked up here by ewg uh to take care
12254s just using that tap Dodge to get through
12256s the grabs I spoke too soon he tapped on
12259s just one grab and then immediately gets
12261s picked up giannon gives up on even
12263s trying to get the second grab here on to
12266s year on and just oh my God hates the
12268s slam does finally find one on the Heron
12270s but Iran about to break free he has to
12271s slam can't even make it as the rain
12274s shots come through ewg here are going to
12276s be able to lose at least one of those uh
12279s takedowns from the Yang depletion that
12282s they have because of that but they still
12284s need to find at least one more to keep
12286s themselves fully in the game here too
12289s tick playing that very very well the
12291s rain shots coming through from Xiao Liu
12293s as well just it absolutely blitzing
12295s through down on and I do believe that
12298s might be it for xcg uh they were
12300s eliminated off the back of that that was
12301s their final member the other crazy thing
12303s is KLA so uh basically son the death
12306s word because ewg were looking for that
12308s fight because they had the Roma young
12309s because they lost the KLA let's say
12312s in a way it is kla's fault but bowdo
12315s able to find a killer to Iran here from
12317s ewg do you think he's gone for the uh
12320s transformation has been able to grab
12322s lion maybe he can grab man unable to do
12325s so it's still looking for it again
12327s dodging away is going to get stunned a
12329s lot down bowder feels like they just got
12331s this fight in the bag it's too thick
12334s it's gonna get counted taken down ewg
12338s they're out of options they're out of
12340s time and that is them eliminated bowder
12343s honestly fighting back seven kills on
12346s the board wait it's 10 minutes and we've
12348s only got 17 we've got 16 left 17 players
12351s this is so fast paced yeah this has been
12355s an absolute bloodbath from start to
12357s finish I don't think we've had a single
12358s moment to kind of take a rest but this
12360s might be the first respite we've gotten
12362s all day and it's KLA KLA doesn't really
12365s need to go out and force anything here
12366s they have 14 eliminations under their
12369s belt and the placement points alone have
12371s already made this a 20-point game for
12373s them they've already surpassed xcg and
12376s they just have more Lobby and more kills
12380s to pick up here
12381s yeah I mean I think xcg actually got
12383s another donut as well maybe they might
12385s have got placement points I don't know I
12388s think they walked away with point five
12389s points and it was just in placement
12391s points project so like yeah xcg really
12394s has a lot of work to do here and I I
12396s don't know what's going on with the
12398s decision to continue to bring the monk
12400s into these comps
12402s um and denying themselves because it
12404s feels like they're kind of just signing
12405s their death warrant not only are they
12407s having bad games here but they're
12408s spending so many of their hero points to
12411s try to almost it feels like they're
12413s crutching on the monk right they were so
12416s happy with those first two games with
12417s Feria in the comp and instead of just
12419s swapping to another comp where they
12422s don't expend a ton of hero points so
12424s they potentially come back and play that
12426s Faria comp again and have a third big
12428s game they've been so afraid to get off
12432s of the monk that they have cost
12434s themselves the hero points where I don't
12437s think they can run that initial comp a
12439s third time anymore
12441s I don't think they can yeah they've got
12443s 10 points left and I can't remember the
12445s maps on the uh on the hero Point
12447s calculation I need to get that sent to
12448s me actually so I can figure that stuff
12450s out but for now they are gonna be
12453s probably scratching ahead and figuring
12454s out what the hell they're gonna do as uh
12456s you can see pink Town's got the meteor
12457s and dancing shell this is literally I
12459s was talking about earlier so that is
12462s it's really oppressive taking long range
12464s fights into meteor because it's just the
12466s cannibals go straight at you
12468s there is no fall off
12471s just carries in a straight line and it
12473s is uh comes quite quick there's quite a
12475s lot of damage when they hit as well
12476s slowly but surely will add up we can see
12478s the uh Morris blessing is gonna be
12481s spawning as well a couple of teams are
12483s set up KLA actually don't seem to be
12485s that interested in moving over to the
12486s Morris plastic I think they're just
12488s playing for play some points now and
12489s looking to tidy up whatever happens at
12491s the end but there's the Morris blessing
12493s don't know what's inside it yet the
12495s Bane's breath has also come down on it
12497s so
12498s that is going to be a nuisance and it's
12500s actually not AOW who owned the Spain's
12503s brat so
12504s he's just feeling a little careful this
12507s lead into the game in Immortal World
12508s there's no Bane's breath available so
12509s these are all just gonna be wild beans
12511s breath it just happened down onto the
12514s edge of the box here uh and AOW more
12517s than happy to just capitalize on it dig
12518s it Ping Tao here making the proper
12520s decision you put the gold armor onto the
12522s Viper and to be fair Ping Tao has kind
12525s of been putting AOW on his back ear it
12528s seems like every time we turn to a fight
12530s if they're winning the fight it's off
12532s the back of the place that Ping Tao
12534s makes and just the raw skill Ping Tao
12536s brings to that particular comp and I
12539s mean the two players that pinktow is
12540s playing with are two new players we
12542s haven't seen before so maybe there's you
12545s know a level of skill we haven't seen
12547s come out of them and pinktow just hasn't
12549s given them that opportunity to shine yet
12551s but at the moment it certainly does look
12553s like Ping Tao is kind of putting AOW on
12556s his back
12557s absolutely well
12559s seven minutes left this is the thing
12561s when you do have a high Tempo game
12563s typically they do then cool off for
12565s quite a while because
12567s there's just no one to tell anyone to
12568s run into there's no real fights for
12570s people to take then there's no third
12571s party opportunities people normally now
12573s they'll say okay we'll play it nice and
12574s safe I say this and then OC walk face up
12578s into KLA and they are just going to
12580s trade out with the uh with the ranged
12582s shot from the Cannons actually ykc gets
12584s shot in the back of the head by an arrow
12585s I believe as well so okay maybe a little
12589s bit of danger for now but if these guys
12591s are just gonna be trading out there
12592s isn't no alt Zone that could get popped
12594s here as well
12595s could be a pretty scary
12598s look at this Zephyr just coming through
12601s like a rocket
12603s [Laughter]
12607s efforts are always kind of wild there it
12608s looks like he's not running the tracking
12610s list he's just running this rate was
12612s there any I love the The Confidence from
12614s the temi to just throw the Wisp and be
12616s like hey it's something
12618s love a shot
12619s you miss every shot you then take what
12622s can I say that's not true
12625s uh
12627s yep just kind of chilling as a AOW again
12631s sitting up top here taking these rain
12633s shots and kind of pummeling them and
12635s like you said when when you have such a
12637s fast tempo game coming into late game
12639s here things are going to die down quite
12640s significantly because nobody wants to be
12642s the team who uh initiates and pushes
12645s into a fight early because those two
12648s teams are gonna become the target of the
12650s lobby and at many of these other teams
12652s are just gonna have an easy time at
12653s capitalizing on those two teams fighting
12656s and they're not gonna have to burn a lot
12657s of resources to potentially pick up some
12659s kills speaking of picking up kills
12660s though off camera about us Moon picking
12662s up an elimination onto oug zinyu with a
12665s massive bow shot from downrange
12668s yeah he's able to land that one but for
12670s now
12671s a little bit more I think I think that's
12673s going to move over grab them or as
12675s blessing it's the second one for him
12677s potentially
12678s I think he gave the uh the golden weapon
12680s over to one of his teammates but
12683s there's so many cannon shots coming in
12685s it's really hard for these guys to
12686s actually properly contest this and
12688s actually it looks like aw are just gonna
12690s back off us
12691s the best weapon inside to be honest with
12693s you but the golden armor very desirable
12695s especially for like secure uh KLA who
12698s have got themselves that um that
12701s Transformer comp they're gonna actually
12702s send multiple people in the more his
12704s Blessing isn't gonna get popped in AOW
12706s are gonna get the golden armor out I
12708s don't even know if they're gonna take
12709s the golden weapon to be honest it might
12711s not even be that worth it Kijiji could
12713s take it for at least the Transformations
12714s giving him a little bit more damage to
12716s work with but he might not give the
12718s opportunity because AOW advancing
12720s forward taking a serious amount of
12722s damage in response here actually I was
12724s just gonna jump out to safety with the
12726s Wu Channel
12728s yeah AOW here able to find a little bit
12732s of comfort in this tight sort of uh
12734s ending circle here Zone fives collapsing
12735s on to zone six that wall buying them
12738s just a little bit of space but they do
12739s need to be careful as the Zone soon to
12742s push them out here and at jdgoc looking
12745s to push in and capitalize on it pink
12746s towels just gonna come out and
12748s immediately throw the old and I'm not
12749s sure who holds it first it looks like
12750s it's gonna be pinked out and jdg might
12752s pay the price here the wu-chan although
12755s gonna come through and save jdg from
12758s sure destruction
12761s that was a rotten Escape
12764s heartbreaking for AOW
12767s Kayla are quite happy they're just like
12769s they're just gonna hold ultimate until
12770s the circle gets even smaller they're
12772s just gonna play this Higher Ground
12773s they're wait watching everybody else
12775s burn their ultimates it is buying them
12777s some space but about actually able to
12778s find a kill there qgg does get one with
12781s a cannon in response so another kill up
12783s to 15 right now but powder actually in
12786s range of catching up with Klan
12789s they're probably a little bit nervous
12790s about that one we'll have to keep our
12792s eye on this because AOW zunru Kong is
12794s gonna get locked down by the ultimate
12797s from oug here from the Viper and the
12800s mukong may just burn out to the Zone he
12802s does go down
12804s an EG also find himself a nice little
12806s cubby where they can just go and recover
12807s themselves some help as uh we're the
12810s ones to get that kill OC also getting a
12814s kill as well in the meanwhile on the
12816s kill feed down to 11 players remaining
12819s in this game
12821s yeah I mean we got to talk about KLA
12824s here by the way more than happy to just
12826s rest on the number of kills that they
12827s got and not hyper push in I say that a
12829s cxd just lands a massive bow shot on to
12832s Bow Down's Moon and it's funny because
12834s the last time I literally just said that
12836s it was valdost moon landing the bow shop
12837s from across the map and picking up a
12839s kill onto outh looks like uh cxd more
12842s than happy to return the favor on to bow
12845s down here is a KLA has 16 eliminations
12849s under their belt one of the only full
12851s teams left remaining here they've got
12853s monk they have kurumi and of course they
12856s have you Aisha on all their olds
12858s available to them because they've just
12859s been sitting in the back here and
12860s throwing those rain shots capitalizing
12862s on these other teams just kind of duking
12865s it out with each other which is kind of
12867s interesting given the fact that KLA
12869s really is the threat here uh in this
12872s Lobby for all the players oug trying to
12874s go Airborne here aow's Ping Tao up top
12877s in this tree and that's a scary place
12879s for Ping Tao to be when they're playing
12880s Viper
12884s 10 players left two minutes left
12887s seeing the Viper Stone coming out from
12889s pinktow is able to connect onto one of
12891s the members of yck that's the KLA sorry
12893s yck ykc sorry being the one who gets
12896s caught out there but kurumi Teva will
12898s mean that he is going to be sitting
12899s pretty see a transformation breakout
12901s Kelly honestly just playing this super
12903s patiently they are gonna throw the
12905s transformation down now they feel
12907s comfortable they're gonna step up and
12908s try and see if they can get themselves a
12910s 20 bomb put together but immediately a
12911s grab comes down onto one of their
12913s members Meng is grabbed in response
12915s pinged out not gonna get caught zayman
12917s actually just able to hold for a little
12918s bit longer Pink House grabs mid-air by
12921s ykc now looking to get himself another
12924s kill to the team as Ping Tao bleeding up
12926s a is able to hold it's fast another slam
12928s comes down and that is the 17th kill
12931s here picked up for KLA Slayer has
12934s transformed he's got the mech and he's
12935s gonna use it to buy himself some time
12937s while he's not in monk form a pop back
12939s into the Zone a lot of damage still and
12941s that should just be a member of KLA
12943s taken down and taken out of this one
12946s only one understanding it is going to be
12949s their monk who hasn't got the
12950s transformation available Slayer gets
12952s stunned for the brief second there
12954s there's still five players left and
12955s there's still three teams left in this
12958s game Canada they hold a Slayer
12960s desperately trying to get the kill look
12962s at ykc hiding in the bush hiding in the
12965s distance Slayer gonna get himself kill
12967s here for his team and now it's on to ykc
12970s to see if he can pick a miracle kill for
12972s his team a miracle one versus three he
12975s has the health bar but the flamer doing
12976s a lot of damage he gets counted he gets
12978s booted into the Zone he won't be able to
12981s survive this one staggered back and OC
12983s will take him down
12985s OC does manage to take them down but I
12988s do believe with the amount of kills that
12989s they were able to put together it might
12991s be KLA it's gonna be pretty tight here
12994s but KLA may still be walking away the
12996s MVP here as they go out in second place
12998s with 17 elimination
13002s yeah it is KLA taking game number four
13006s only two teams have taken the W today
13008s xcg and KLA but kele with this win are
13012s quite comfortably in first place but we
13015s did say the same thing about xcg after
13017s their second Wednesday Navy someone else
13020s is going to step up to the plate but
13022s phenomenal game coming in from these
13024s guys not quite that 20 bombing game
13025s number two but still a
13027s Monumental amount of poison they didn't
13029s take first place they didn't get all of
13031s the uh the kill multiplier points
13032s available from birth
13034s but even so a really really solid game
13036s from these guys the New Kids on the
13038s Block honestly hitting hard in our first
13042s day of trios
13044s yeah and KLA really coming in here and
13046s surprising us all and I mean xcg has got
13049s to be sweating bullets right now you
13053s know I mean not only did they come in
13054s and just have a massive performance for
13056s the first two games but now they put two
13059s almost zero point games back to back on
13061s the board and burnt crucial hero points
13065s that they needed if they wanted to run
13067s that Comfort comp that was able to
13069s secure them so many points to begin with
13071s and KLA has not done that for themselves
13074s and even surpassed the performance of
13077s xcg no absolutely absolutely it's it's
13081s definitely a worry now for HCG KLA
13084s honestly looking like a team to watch
13086s now I am very excited to see you know in
13089s later weeks how they fare versus some of
13090s the other teams you know your likes of
13091s the world champion J team or previous
13093s world champions now te who were the JT
13097s members at the time uh I'm very excited
13100s to see how they fare versus some of
13101s these other teams and you know some of
13103s these really really strong groups but I
13105s mean they're farewell versus xcg who did
13107s win season two of The mbpl so you know
13110s they're already passing quite a few
13112s tests and taking off quite a few boxes
13114s but yeah xcg great start to the day
13117s really bad middle uh there's still two
13119s games left to go there's still time for
13120s them to make a recovery and we'll be
13122s going on the holler very very soon as
13124s well so they don't get much breathing
13125s time this is what we're talking about
13126s these are the first two games and game
13128s four and five are basically back to back
13130s there's a couple of minutes in between
13132s well you know we run all the graphics
13133s and show you all the points and
13134s everything but then we get basically
13136s straight into the action so for these
13138s guys it's now a point where they're like
13140s okay we've got to make a recovery we've
13142s had two bad games and very losing time
13144s to kind of recover in between them
13146s hey I'm interested to see what xcg is
13149s gonna do in terms of comps here right I
13151s one they obviously can't run that
13153s Comfort comp anymore right they ran it
13155s twice the hero points would absolutely
13157s bankrupt them and they would actually
13159s end up losing points right they might be
13162s able to run the monk a single more time
13165s but they would have to run it with two
13166s Heroes they have not run all day and I'm
13169s I'm gonna call it right now if I see xcg
13172s locking the Monk and just two other
13174s random Heroes
13175s I I don't think the game's gonna go well
13177s for them quite honestly it feels like
13180s they're crutching that monk pick and
13181s they are hurting themselves so bad for
13184s it listen
13185s without a monk I'm just saying I've seen
13188s it before it's so stupidly good because
13191s you can grab them out from the air
13192s that'll spear them and then you slam
13195s them it's guaranteed every time 100
13196s we'll get your money back uh
13199s it's exactly I mean that's an option but
13201s no I I totally agree with the core point
13203s I feel like it's now time for xcg to go
13205s okay we need to move on from
13206s Transformers we've lented it it worked
13208s at the beginning of the day it hasn't
13210s worked in the sale end of the day
13211s I don't know if they can pick Fair as
13213s well far as well because what they play
13215s they played
13216s two games on that and then four games a
13219s month now I believe so I feel like it
13221s might just be time for the Yoko concerts
13223s to come out for them and maybe see if
13224s that works I mean the yoticon is a tried
13227s and tested and I feel like they don't
13229s really have any other options at this
13230s point so
13231s we can talk about that when we get into
13233s the game let's celebrate another win for
13235s KLA though they do walk out with a
13239s 31.8 point game
13242s yeah they are very comfortably ahead
13243s then OC actually fairly close behind
13245s them with 14 kills and did get those uh
13248s ranking points as well in their favor in
13250s 27.4 and then Fowler do take that third
13254s but where are they xcg 0.5 points and
13257s the King unfortunately getting
13260s themselves a donut in that game number
13262s four
13263s yeah now this scoreboard is not looking
13266s variable at all for xcg right now you
13269s know they built themselves a very
13270s comfortable leader in the start of the
13273s day but some the the cracks have shown
13276s something has caused these players uh to
13279s kind of lose that momentum to lose that
13281s sort of um what's the word I'm looking
13284s for confidence that we saw coming out of
13286s them in games one and two and I mean
13289s they have the option they could have
13291s just run the ferry account a third time
13294s and potentially had another pop-off game
13296s but like we said they really kind of
13299s shot themselves in the foot here trying
13302s to just hold on to that monk you know
13304s it's it's like a baby who really wants
13307s their Binky and just don't want to let
13309s it go it's time to let it go okay
13316s let's go
13318s what does it mean that's the name of my
13320s dog
13326s also known as The Pacifier Jake
13330s a dummy is what we call them oh my
13333s goodness
13336s it's
13346s it's a pacifier it's the last two games
13348s here because they have absolutely
13349s pacified uh xcg well I I don't know I
13354s feel like xcg have been the pacifier
13355s because they suck
13356s [Music]
13360s be real bro it's not been a great couple
13362s of games for xtg KLA has been on fire
13366s they've been super super good really
13369s really good stuff on the van I'm excited
13370s to see it again we're gonna get that mvp
13372s I didn't see the thing is a moment ago I
13375s actually was not paying attention
13376s because I was trying to figure out what
13377s Binky was
13379s um Kijiji got our previous MVP so maybe
13382s again I don't know I didn't actually see
13384s the most damage for KLA that time uh but
13387s we still got two games left to go the
13389s hat-trick is still technically
13390s achievable for KLA if they win this next
13393s game uh
13395s do you know what the largest amount of
13397s wins in a day is for a team I feel like
13399s it's four it's four yeah
13403s that's not possible for Carolina they
13405s can't beat they can get F4 but they
13406s can't get a uh can't get a five with
13409s that four in a row though
13410s I don't think it was four in a row but
13412s it was four for the day and we're gonna
13414s come in yeah it's gonna be cxz here and
13416s you know what cxd played a hack of a
13418s game here uh on to the gurumi and look
13421s at this 23
13423s 000 damage and 12K healing five kills
13427s six eliminations still a fairly High
13431s kill participation here for cxz for the
13434s likes of the team at KLA and I mean it
13437s burst Arrow storm stride thunderstorm
13438s fire arrows and Scatter shot this is
13441s exactly what we're talking about he also
13442s had Target lock here he literally had
13444s what I consider like The Infinity
13446s Gauntlet for the bow right burst Arrow
13448s makes your shots explode scatter shot
13451s gives you three arrows so you get the
13453s triple explosion anybody caught in that
13455s explosion is set on fire by the fire
13457s arrows and Target lock instantly means
13460s that their stamina bar is completely
13462s depleted and has to re-tick back up it's
13465s so hard to get away from that particular
13468s combination once they've landed a shot
13470s on TVJ uh it's not gonna lie I was just
13473s looking at the uh the pictures there I
13476s love I love that smiling like there it
13478s is look at that cheeky smile look at
13479s that cheeky smile I'm I'm fed up all
13483s right so I've got a few things I've got
13484s a few bones to fit with our naraka pro
13487s league players and teams first of all
13489s stop using letters especially actually X
13491s and G and second of all stop posing like
13494s this
13496s I don't want it I like I like I like the
13499s I like the holes and stuff The Smiling a
13501s little bit of inventive posing that's
13503s how you stand out I don't want any more
13504s like
13506s or like the hands uh I can't remember
13508s what other ones they do like hands
13509s together that's another one
13511s stop it give me give me some give me
13514s some good poses some good stuff
13515s Jake wants his ooVoo poses coming out
13518s from his Pro players I don't want to
13521s lose this no I don't want that just give
13523s me like give me like funny poses I want
13526s do you know what we should do we should
13527s do a parody all of the NBL casts mvpl
13530s casters we should do a parody of uh of
13532s like the player poses and stuff make our
13534s own make our own name make our own team
13536s and then do like a pose of us all we'll
13538s be called x c x g
13543s like that anyway game number five I'm
13547s just buying time I just find time
13549s I know I know I'm at the stage now where
13552s it's early enough in the morning for
13554s roon but like the delusional phase comes
13556s in so I can just say stuff and make him
13557s laugh oh my God that's where we're at
13560s what time is it uh it's it's six a.m
13563s over here for me but I'm I'm ripped and
13565s ready to go my dude I'm at game five I I
13568s want the hero selection I'm so ready for
13571s it because I swear if xcg locks monk in
13575s and two random Heroes they haven't
13577s played I'm gonna walk offset I'm just
13580s gonna throw my headset I'm done with xcg
13583s like at the at the beginning of this day
13585s I was ready to look at xdg and be like
13586s they're gonna build a dynasty today
13588s after those first two games and then now
13591s I'm just I'm done with it I'm done I
13592s just I just want to know I uh off the
13595s game two was like this is it we're
13597s getting a six game winning streak it's
13598s happening immediately
13601s immediately it's like you know that that
13603s member that the guy who gets out of the
13605s uh he gets out of the um camper van and
13608s just like slams into the wall holding a
13610s drink because he's drunk it's that
13611s that's what happened they just they just
13612s slammed on the wall immediately as soon
13615s as they said that never has a Caster
13617s curse happened even worse I mean you
13620s cursed them at one point I cursed them
13621s at one point they've been double cursed
13623s and uh xcg I hope you can recover I am
13627s sorry for what we've done to you it is
13628s our fault but uh yeah but I care later
13631s though let's go to these guys looking
13632s super good I think oug have been
13634s surprising as well I think these guys
13635s look pretty decent
13638s AMW have been looking a little bit good
13641s as well so there's been a few teams that
13643s are starting to step up before we get
13644s into game number five we're
13646s the players
13648s without everything coming into our new
13649s season of The League
13656s foreign
13699s foreign
13712s how he felt about the world championship
13714s there and coming back here to the league
13717s of course wbg here Sleepwalker you know
13720s not not somebody to sleep on so to speak
13723s Jake as he is been touted as one of the
13726s top three monks in the league and I do
13729s have to give it to him they played very
13730s much an unorthodox calm last game and
13733s Sleepwalker and PP just you know PB
13736s covering for the team using that Takeda
13738s old
13739s seeing the bad third parties coming in
13741s it's like he has 360 Vision he's got
13745s eyes in the back of his head right every
13746s single time a bad third party came
13748s through PP was able to peel away from
13750s the team come back and peel for the team
13753s utilizing his old there and it
13756s definitely bought them out of some
13757s sticky situations and Sleepwalker just
13759s being such a good monk player even
13761s though he doesn't you know carry great
13763s momentum with that particular comp was
13766s still able to make some things happen
13767s yes they go out in the middle of the
13769s match but I'll be quite honest playing
13770s into that comp I expect him to go out
13772s much earlier than they did I'm trying to
13775s now rack my brain on like who I think
13777s all the top monk players I it has to be
13781s three three I think he's a phenomenal
13784s one it's I think it's three it's three
13786s three oh Sleepwalker and Eagle yeah
13788s those three have been wait there's
13790s another one there's another one other
13792s than Sleepwalker who I'm missing here
13793s and it's really gonna annoy me
13796s ah might be it might just be
13799s uh
13801s yeah 330 eagle
13803s yeah it might just be Sleepwalker you
13804s know I'm trying to think if there's
13806s anyone else oh no uh
13809s Tian uh
13812s 101 Tien is
13814s a great monk player but unfortunately we
13817s only got to see him for the one season
13822s yes you are correct
13824s good point whoa game five I am I'm just
13828s gonna pass this over the road because I
13830s want to see his reactions
13832s I'm I'm watching xcg like a hawk I'm I'm
13836s like right now I need I need production
13838s to just go past the mic to xcg's coach
13841s and explain to them how bad they need to
13843s not pick Monk where are you xcg I see
13845s you up top down on if I see you lock
13848s that Monk
13849s it's not gonna be a good okay thankfully
13852s they're going to a freaking they're not
13855s running the milk that's all that matters
13857s you know what's funny everyone else is
13860s running among look at this Lobby it's
13862s just fire a monk everywhere and I tell
13865s you why Pharaoh really suits this map we
13868s talked about this but there's so much
13869s verticality it's typically not a good
13871s monk map but the ability that now to fly
13874s and shoot above in your transformation
13875s State on the on the uh with the Mech
13878s she's so so good on horror off man she's
13883s so goddamn good on horror off the
13885s ability to give your monk a Mech so that
13887s he can fly up top and then transform and
13891s grab people like
13893s yeah I mean the Pacific Rim comp this it
13895s feels like I mean you got like intense
13897s weather effects you got like the the
13900s Pacific Rim element this is very much a
13902s specific room map man like I love it all
13904s we need is like heavy rain we just need
13906s heavy rain and like the next map needs
13908s to be like a modern city or like a
13910s futuristic city
13911s you know we were talking about this meet
13913s Dobby yesterday I would love to see like
13915s an underwater kind of city with like
13917s some big wet caves and stuff where
13919s there's like no sky but it's still like
13921s a big giant cave and there's this
13924s massive City underwater and like tunnels
13926s filled with water you can go through and
13928s stuff I really feel like water is just
13930s the element we're missing from naraka
13933s right now we're on these islands
13935s surrounded by it but we haven't really
13937s had it involved in the maps yet and I
13939s think it would be a great place to go
13941s but speaking of places we're going we
13943s are going to hollow Roth and like you
13944s said this is the Pacific Rim meta and
13948s we're gonna see how well these kaijus
13950s and robots go head to head
13952s yeah a whole bunch of teams are dropping
13954s in the same spot there
13956s that is gonna be our Bloodbath
13959s over in the East I am so excited to see
13962s this bit game number five we're Kicking
13965s It Off
13966s there's a OC right now are just in the
13970s area with TK all the kings there's a
13972s already Sleepwalker has opened us up
13974s with a kill we were just talking about
13976s how he's a good Monk and starts It Up
13978s For the Kill so
13979s you know what you might be right
13982s he definitely didn't transform for that
13983s kill he just killed them as a like
13985s mechanical skill
13988s yeah we're gonna see here TK sad seven
13990s looking to get a little bit of gear here
13993s just moving very quickly through matab
13995s and again this is a place we talked
13996s about that verticality really comes into
13998s play here there's a lot of little
13999s corridors there's a lot of space for
14001s movement options to come in here and
14003s then here this is just a bloodbath right
14005s you've got double ballistas on either
14007s side it's quite literally just a kill
14010s box and you see that coming through here
14012s as these ballista shots rain down
14015s on to all of these members from multiple
14018s different teams and ewg here looking
14020s like they're trying to be the team who
14023s claims the puzzle here and we might
14025s finally get to see that red armor go on
14027s to a monk this season Jake we've
14029s literally not seen red armor in
14031s professional play ever it's never
14034s happened unless it happened yesterday
14035s which I don't think it did I've never
14037s seen it I saw red armor for the first
14038s time when I played the new and Moxie
14040s recently I I even haven't even seen it
14042s that much so
14044s we'll see how this is gonna work out
14046s um
14047s I'd love to see some red armor on a
14049s Transformer I really would so that's a
14052s very uh anime looking Terror here with
14055s the blue hair
14056s I guess it's Mex I guess it's a specific
14057s room what can I say uh PP currently
14060s being jumped onto by Iran ewg it will
14062s actually pick up that kill Jing trying
14063s to go for the revive as a Iran is a jinx
14067s you gotta you gotta take out the the guy
14069s before oh my word okay well he's gonna
14070s get himself heavily chunked and trying
14072s to resurrect this is the desperation
14074s here from Jing is just
14077s is this monitor off or something okay I
14081s I am flabbergasted but we just saw that
14084s to be honest with me well to be fair
14087s here the two of his teammates are dead
14089s right in this particular situation you
14091s don't want to try to escape and run off
14093s into the distance because all you're
14094s doing is giving the enemy teen
14096s information about where your team is
14098s heading to respawn right and potentially
14100s you still die on the way anyway it's
14102s better to stick in the fight and try to
14105s make something happen and die anyway and
14107s then your full team can coordinate and
14110s respawn somewhere else without giving
14112s away information to the enemy team right
14114s because the last thing you want to do is
14117s run off say Northwest right get caught
14120s out by this team trying to go in the
14122s direction of where your team's
14123s respawning and then all of a sudden okay
14125s they go well odds are they're respawning
14128s Northwest here's where a resurrection
14130s altar is we clearly have the advantage
14132s because they lost that fight with the
14133s gear that they had now they're going to
14135s be behind in gear we just go take that
14137s bite again
14138s what the fair argument that is a fair
14140s argument
14141s Well for now if we have a quick look at
14144s the uh the old scoreboard we can see
14145s that again a pretty significant lead KLA
14148s did build or build over xcg but ACG are
14151s finally on the board they've finally
14152s done something early they've got
14153s themselves a kill and they always say
14155s KLA haven't actually been able to pick a
14156s kill up for themselves aw now on their
14159s second kill of this game cover this
14160s thing in fifth there's a fairly big
14163s deficit between third and second right
14165s now I'm in 47 points to 72 points is the
14168s difference but some of the kind of note
14170s is o u g o c a o w e w g you know these
14175s guys have been scoring pretty
14176s consistently across the day they've not
14177s been scoring high but they've been
14178s scoring consistently which is the key
14180s thing for these guys so definitely
14182s starting to kind of keep your mind on
14183s and keep your eye on as we go later in
14186s to uh into today's action to see whether
14189s or not these guys
14190s uh we'll be throwing you know just these
14193s consistent points to the last two games
14195s and see where abouts that place is them
14197s or if they just have a pop-off game
14198s because consistency plus one pop off is
14200s better than a few pop-offs and then just
14203s bad games
14205s yeah absolutely and I mean clearly here
14207s I I like this piece coming out from KLA
14210s right they've built a significant lead
14211s and they're playing smart I wouldn't say
14214s that they're playing slow or struggling
14216s because they haven't lost a fight early
14218s on right I think they can just Pace
14220s themselves through the these last two
14222s games and they easily come out on top at
14225s the end of the day here because of their
14227s performance in the last two games and
14229s because of how xcg has performed for
14232s themselves here speaking of which taking
14233s a look into this fight we've got almost
14235s a three-way fight here between Calais GG
14238s and jdg and KOA more than happy to just
14241s kind of back off and monitor this fight
14243s from the side
14244s they really want to look for that third
14246s party opportunity and I love this this
14248s is such good decision making or or macro
14251s play coming through from this team
14253s because they don't have to waste
14256s resources trying to get into the fight
14258s and they can make the best decision
14260s possible about when to engage right the
14263s monk clearly sees them from jdg GG
14265s doesn't want to come out into the monk
14267s so KLA gonna push up a little bit now
14269s because they do see the monk is gone
14271s they're just going to kind of surf on
14273s the edge of this Bane I'm not quite sure
14274s whose Bane this is yet maybe we'll see
14276s it might be jdgs but from the looks of
14278s the way they backed out of this it's
14280s probably not because that would have
14282s bought them a little bit more safety for
14284s a team to push in and take a fight there
14285s jdg now is going to find themselves a
14288s quite separated LSR up on the hill three
14292s members of KLA on them we're gonna see
14294s qgg gets sent over the edge but LSR
14297s still quite separated and now jdg will
14301s be throwing gabane's breath out this is
14302s jdg's Bane and KLA my might need to
14305s rethink this engagement that ykc here
14308s already monked up though fully committed
14310s is going to get the slam onto Jo Hui but
14313s Joe Hui continuing to give it Chase ykc
14317s not in the best of situation Stuck In
14319s The Zone constantly taking ticks can't
14321s push on to jdg does get the re-grab
14324s though this will no he doesn't have time
14327s to get the slam off KLA misses the
14330s opportunity to flip this fight on his
14331s head and now GG coming in for the third
14335s party KOA was playing this fight so
14338s patiently they waited for the monk to go
14340s down on the side of jdg they waited to
14343s see if GG was gonna push Gigi didn't
14346s push and then KLA finally pushed and GG
14349s ended up being the team that played this
14351s the most patiently waited for both teams
14354s to burn ultimates and now have come in
14356s for the third party and it looks like
14358s team KLA and jdg will both be paying the
14361s price for being a little too quick on
14364s the trip sugar here
14366s I don't think La expected another Baines
14368s breath to come down I think that's what
14370s really caught them off here was they
14372s felt the Bane's breath is gone they
14374s didn't know who placed it but in their
14375s heads oh wow xcg are out uh in the head
14379s they assumed that somebody else was
14381s going to uh there wasn't going to be
14383s another base rep to come down and it
14384s just absolutely ruined them for it they
14387s still had their revive so it's not the
14388s end of the world uh and luckily for them
14390s xcg went out after two kills so
14394s they are you know not being contested on
14397s first at least in this game
14400s yeah jdg still alive here somehow even
14402s though GG came in on to the third party
14405s and jdg had actually pushed out of their
14407s own Bane's breath and been in the zone
14409s so long they've somehow managed to force
14412s GG off and look at this GG is actually
14415s being forced to push into the zone to
14418s get away from jdg and jdg somehow
14422s still in the zone have not let
14425s themselves take too much Zone depletion
14427s here the kurumi the healing for these
14430s Zone fights really paying dividends for
14433s team jdg as they are able to force it GG
14436s out of that fight and a jdg will live to
14439s see another day yeah they've got eight
14441s kills by the way they've had like a
14442s really really good game actually wbg are
14445s looking to get himself enough Skirmish
14447s here with ewg as the Roman Young comes
14450s in I believe wait did they both go in oh
14453s they both went in
14456s so they are ready to Brule against each
14458s other here
14460s let's see how this one goes down
14462s Sleepwalker gonna open it up the
14463s transform same coming in from two two as
14467s they are looking to shine these grabs
14469s onto each other the mechs actually come
14470s out from Jing as well so already early
14473s Mech being thrown down just trying to
14475s absolutely rinse through the health bar
14477s and stagger on to the monkey can't get
14479s the slam dad is just getting railed by
14481s the Harpoon a grab comes in from
14483s Sleepwalker they've got the mech damage
14485s as well into the slam that's gonna be
14487s one that already taken down though for
14489s the side of ewg and this fight has just
14492s gotten infinitely harder Sleepwalker
14494s Will D Transformers he ran also
14496s endangered but another Harpoon shot
14497s coming in from Jing he is just
14499s absolutely taking names with this
14502s secondary fire absolutely killing them
14506s an ewg will probably end up losing this
14509s unless you Ryan can pull off a sick
14511s outplay not gonna happen that's gonna be
14514s the Morris blessing over to the side of
14517s wbg meanwhile KLA off their refresh now
14521s looking for some revenge on that third
14523s party able to secure themselves a kill
14525s into lxm yeah 330 as well also going
14528s down this time KLA they have the man
14531s Advantage they have the power Advantage
14532s they're not being third party they're
14534s not being jumped onto no Bane's breath
14536s no unfair stuff as they take out GG and
14539s eliminate them from the game
14541s in response to what happened earlier
14543s yeah okay only making it known that they
14547s were not happy about that third party
14548s there from a team at GG and more than
14551s happy to pick up their first three
14553s eliminations of the game here and like
14555s you said earlier xcg's out early with
14557s just two eliminations under the belt
14559s there's nobody even in range to threaten
14562s KLA right the biggest points we've seen
14564s today was a 45 point game if oug was to
14568s get a 45-point game right now they would
14569s be one point ahead of KLA and KLA is
14572s still in this game we're gonna see now
14575s here they pick up Moon they're looking
14577s for the second grab but they're not
14578s gonna be able to find it so they are
14579s just gonna take the slam not able to
14581s find the re-grab the alt is Gonna Come
14583s Out KLA in a bit of a precarious
14585s situation here baldaw really starting to
14588s put the pressure on to ykc ykc into the
14591s ultimate though is gonna find the
14592s healing that he's been looking for this
14594s whole time is gonna de monk with the
14596s armor malmoth though gonna catch the
14598s Perry on to ykc but doesn't want to risk
14601s following it up there given the
14603s positioning of ykc's teammates here ykc
14607s with the tether on them from the kurumi
14609s the constant healing keeping them in the
14611s fight the communication coming out from
14613s ykc and the likes of KLA here is very
14616s very good but they need to be careful
14617s jjh coming over the hill here for the
14620s third party both battle and KLA could
14623s potentially be eliminated here to the
14625s third part of qgg goes so low is forced
14628s to take the armor swap into a white
14630s armor but it's not enough as the
14631s blistering Edge from the pull sword on
14634s Godly Burns through their HP and just
14637s completely ignores the new set of armor
14639s they pick up in jjh will pick up
14641s multiple eliminations here one on to KLA
14645s and one on to team balda and balda will
14648s also go down here gonna be forced to use
14651s their Resurrection
14652s yeah we're gonna have to see uh whether
14655s or not the side of uh KLA kale yeah KLA
14660s are going to be able to grab themselves
14661s a rebirth charm It looks like they have
14663s because that's exactly what's appeared
14664s at the top of the screen so it's not the
14666s end of the world they only lost one
14667s member they will be able to pick them
14669s back up ewg able to get rid of the diva
14672s from the Romanian completion uh after
14674s losing their fight to wbg so they are oh
14678s wait only one of them okay no no no that
14681s I can't tell I think they're all okay
14683s either way it's done they're sorted uh
14687s kl8 is still in this game after getting
14690s you know third party has been the bane
14692s of their game they've been constantly
14693s getting jumped on by multiple different
14695s teams and it has kind of paid a price
14697s for them on that front but this is a
14700s very weird kill spread if you look at
14701s the scoreboard jjh have nine kills you
14705s got uh three kills on TK you got eight
14707s kills on jdg like The Kill spread is
14709s very spread and a lot of people are
14710s getting kills this game so this is a
14712s fairly high scoring game and what this
14714s means is for xcg who only got two kills
14716s and were taken out as the first team in
14718s the game they are going to be sweating
14720s because the gaps that they built in the
14722s first two games is
14723s quietly and quickly catching up on them
14727s and eventually that massively they built
14730s themselves won't be there and they'll be
14732s overtaken or teams will be proving right
14734s down their neck yeah absolutely I mean
14737s xcg has just put themselves in the worst
14739s possible situation after those first two
14742s dominating first games and honestly it
14745s doesn't look like it's getting better it
14747s it feels like not only is is the team
14750s comp falling apart for them not only
14752s have they made poor decisions in terms
14754s of you know the hero select and costing
14756s themselves points but now the mental of
14759s the situation right is just getting to
14761s them they're they're communication's off
14763s they're not winning fights uh they're
14765s losing almost every Hot Drop that they
14767s take in the last two games and then they
14770s go out early this game as well as last
14772s game and it's really causing them to uh
14775s kind of just suffer in that mental area
14778s and costing them multiple points that
14781s they really need to stay alive here and
14783s right now now they are barely holding on
14785s to second place so many teams now within
14788s spitting distance of the massive lead
14790s that they built in those first two games
14792s and just being able to overtake them
14795s whereas KLA even though they've had some
14797s bad engagements due to third parties
14799s have continued to play very well and
14803s execute that communication well they
14806s were able to pull out of that third
14807s party very quickly the monk in the
14809s kurumi were the two players that they
14811s needed to get out seeing as the kurumi
14813s actually had enough dark type coins
14815s there to just go and buy their teammate
14816s back their other teammate stays in to
14819s keep the other team from engaging onto
14821s them as they split off balda loses the
14824s rest of their members and that KLA is
14826s just going to be able to go buy back one
14828s of their teammates and you're gonna see
14830s they're probably gonna do that right
14832s about now right because you've got these
14833s Realms of yangub it's much easier for
14836s them to slide in to a shop now because
14838s multiple teams are away from them on the
14841s map they have an idea of where teams
14843s have pushed to trying to get to those
14845s Realms of young so they know what shops
14847s and what Resurrection altars are going
14849s to be safer for them to push into I'm
14851s willing to that we see that Resurrection
14852s come through very soon jjh here coming
14854s in to fight team TK inside the realm of
14857s Yang and there it is there's the rebirth
14859s charm exactly as I called it sad just
14862s getting blitzed down here both with a
14864s repeating crossbow and the Fifi said
14867s trying to get something but not able to
14869s find anything as just the continuous
14871s Fire coming through from Godly there and
14874s this is it Godly out of the freaking
14877s transformation with the mecca into his
14879s own transformation and it's just
14881s Mechagodzilla into regular Godzilla no
14884s place to go team TK is gonna be
14887s completely tko'd by the likes of jjh I
14891s prefer flesh Mech that's my favorite now
14894s I'm gonna stick with that one golden
14896s Katana in there they're gonna get
14897s himself missed it might as well and
14899s there's also I believe oh there's
14901s someone's already grabbed the purple
14902s armor but either way they're gonna be
14904s quite happy with that one gonna come
14905s over to a wbg who found himself in a bit
14907s of a skirmish here with bowder bowder
14909s line TT loses the transformation and
14911s loses his team he is out of this game
14914s fully eliminated at this point wbg
14916s racking up even more kills up to that 10
14919s Mark now maybe looking to go for the
14920s full 11 because they've got themselves a
14922s fight with uh TK who fresh off a loss
14925s need to try and find these Soul blooms
14927s can they get one they should be able to
14928s grab one for now that's one recovery are
14931s they gonna be able to get the others is
14933s actually it looks like wbg doing their
14934s best to try and turn this one around sad
14936s keeping the pressure up but with a man
14938s down this is going to be very hard for
14939s wbg to pull off look and see if they can
14942s get the scale rush off Fleet Walker
14943s slides in sad losing his armor quite
14945s quickly Ali actually has only the gray
14948s armor so he is health bar will be
14950s forfeited fairly soon Sans transformed
14953s trying to see if he can save the day
14954s here asleep Walker is going to get
14956s pushed back but Jing is just going to be
14958s absolutely flacking away at that
14959s Hellfire to make sure that there is no
14963s way you can find a boom for a grab and
14964s Jing's gonna transform as well to make
14966s sure that this is extra bad for them
14968s slam down Ali loses a whole bunch of
14971s Health the shots should just be about
14972s enough there it is to finish it off sat
14974s on the stairs sad caddy slide away yes
14978s he can but it comes at an ultimate price
14981s oug are eliminated off screen as well
14983s and it feels the wbg will be able to
14986s pick up their teammate and they just win
14988s yet another fight more kills in their
14991s pocket
14992s and they are up to 12 kills now
14995s yeah this is absolutely huge uh for wbg
14999s and jjh as well you know I we got to
15002s talk about the fact that jjh played this
15004s comp into game one right this Pacific
15006s Rim comp and they were actually doing
15009s very well but it was xcg who managed to
15011s kind of eliminate them towards the final
15013s Circle and they didn't have a big
15015s pop-off game because of it now here with
15018s xcg completely lacking into our fifth
15022s game of the day jjh goes back onto the
15025s Pacific Rim comp that they were doing
15027s well on and are starting to have that
15029s pop off they were really hoping to have
15030s in game number one clearly showing just
15034s how strong this comp really is for the
15037s likes of these different teams and I'm
15039s happy to see it come through honestly
15041s the ability to give the mech to other
15044s players was such a strong design
15046s decision uh on the dev team here at
15049s foreign rocket Slayer there miss timing
15051s a Perry but is going to be able to use
15052s the transformation to kind of cover the
15054s data image that he takes but OC on the
15057s low ground with GS up top here with
15059s massive ranged weapons Slayer trying to
15062s cover for the rest of his team but
15063s Sleepwalker is going to Munk Up and it
15065s leaves Slayer in a very precarious
15068s situation he's got no place he can climb
15070s up he's got Sleepwalker following him
15071s and all these teams that are up top just
15074s taking rain shots at him Slayer really
15076s just has nowhere to go Sleepwalker
15079s taking a little bit of that attention
15080s but the rest of GS more than happy to
15082s follow through and pick up that
15083s elimination on to OC Slayer you will be
15086s the one who picks it up with a bow shot
15088s yeah lovely little pickup there
15090s she'll sleep well because a little bit
15092s upset he wasn't able to pick that kill
15093s up but he's gonna be all right as xiaohu
15096s he's gonna head up to the top of the
15098s bridge get himself away but I think he
15100s fumbled a little bit there should just
15102s be able to slide in and secure himself a
15103s kill though onto this final OC member
15105s nice and easy a couple more ticks and he
15108s is done though
15109s so who can heal back up with the saw
15111s Bloom Essence as well
15114s and it's just gonna head back towards
15116s that zone meanwhile sleepwalker now the
15119s only remaining member of wbg will be
15122s joining them in game number six because
15124s they are out of this one knocked out and
15127s we are down to 20 players 10 minutes
15128s left so there was a moment where I felt
15130s like this game was actually starting to
15131s slow down and move at a more tempered
15134s pace and then in the last like five
15136s minutes this game is just kind of
15137s exploded in action I mean you can see on
15140s the left side of the map uh left side of
15142s the screen how many teams have already
15144s been knocked out KLA you said this
15147s earlier but they are doing it very well
15149s they are playing this game
15150s not aggressive not overreaching because
15152s they know they've got the lead they know
15153s they're comfortably in the lead so
15155s there's no point especially after losing
15157s the fights they lost but they should
15159s carry on trying to pick fights unless
15161s they can find a good third-party
15162s opportunity they're rather play for
15164s placement points and then Prime mop-up
15166s kills at the end of the game now GS have
15169s got themselves in a fight with ewg
15171s already has been grabbed out slammed
15174s down as there's gonna be another grab
15176s from xiaohu here they're gonna be able
15177s to get a whole bunch of damage off the
15179s scale rush off the wall onto him as well
15181s looking for that second grab should just
15183s be able to get him but the mech comes in
15185s and the knicker time to save the day jdg
15187s are gonna look to try and slide down
15189s with the third party opportunity here
15191s reigning hell but they actually do find
15193s Xiao who's separated they do get a shot
15195s there from I believe a Ballista on The
15198s High Ground no that was the mech spear
15200s coming in from you actually able to
15203s secure that one and jdg able to pick up
15205s Anne as well in response a couple of
15208s kills picked up for both teams all
15210s around the bot all around the place
15211s there 17 players left for eight teams
15218s KZ over here using that Tamil to go
15221s ahead and lock it down this Moore's
15223s blessing and this is gonna be huge for
15225s them given their current gear situation
15226s yeah the monk really needing an upgrade
15229s is going to go into that legendary armor
15231s and he looks like or somebody looks like
15233s they picked up the legendary flamer
15234s there kind of interesting that KZ
15237s actually isn't the one who takes the
15238s legendary flamer just because he can hot
15240s swap to it uh before he transforms to
15243s get the damage bonus on to the monk but
15246s maybe opting it to give it to the
15248s Eurasian in their Transformer comp here
15250s so that he has a little bit more damage
15252s to cover the monk let the monk be kind
15254s of a big body for the team here to
15256s absorb a little bit of damage
15258s GLA up top here like you said very
15261s playing it very well Slow Rolling this
15263s Lobby to the point where they're like
15265s okay we know we have a significant lead
15267s we do not have to take unnecessary
15269s fights we don't have to force
15271s unnecessary fights if a situation just
15274s is not a given Advantage for them given
15276s how hard some of the fights they have
15278s encountered due to the third parties
15280s that they face to this game they can
15282s just choose to back away from it because
15284s they don't have to have an exactly like
15287s massively explosive game here in game
15291s number five to maintain their lead and
15294s that's a nice comfort blanket to have
15296s right it allows you to play smarter and
15299s come back into game number six with
15301s still having that level of comfort right
15304s if they had gone out early similar to
15307s xcg they could have found that Gap that
15310s they had closing very quickly but
15313s instead they're gonna play smart so that
15315s going into the final game of the day
15316s they continue to maintain gain that sort
15319s of lead and that security blanket for
15321s themselves if you will
15322s yeah absolutely well see uh with the
15325s repeating crossbow and the Cannons just
15326s searching for some people and this is
15328s still very much within the realm of
15329s possibility but they can still win this
15331s lobby as well they just need to kind of
15333s wait for these final circles I mean the
15334s problem they're going to have on that
15335s front is a lot of the players especially
15337s the ones on the top of the of the
15339s scoreboard right now are playing very
15341s aggressive in this game and hunting down
15343s for every little fight they can as uh
15345s you run you're gonna eat a whole bunch
15346s of those repeating crossbow shots there
15348s uh just chunk him out fairly heavily as
15350s uh jjh
15351s try trying to find some cannon shots
15354s across the way over as you ran honestly
15358s every time I look at him he is getting
15359s slammed his health bar is low qgg may
15362s actually take this opportunity to jump
15363s forward decides to bounce away from it
15366s thinks it might be best not to risk
15368s going down here remember five kills is
15370s plenty for KLA they're gonna be very
15372s happy with this one you know once you
15374s get their multipliers and everything and
15375s placing points depending on where they
15377s place they could get themselves in a
15379s very comfortable position but for now on
15380s the edge of the zone you can see the
15383s Morris blessing will be spawning up a
15385s new one
15386s should be contested by these teams it
15388s feels like jjh are the team who can be
15390s able to get it they are fairly well set
15392s up although they have to be careful with
15393s these uh
15394s spreadshot fire arrows coming down but
15396s there is some golden armor in there
15398s there's some juicy uh Soul Jades as well
15400s and that flame for other stuff
15401s attention's gonna be towards uh that
15404s that Mora's blessing now for these guys
15406s but for now Godly just shooting up some
15408s cannon shots trying to buy some space
15409s for his team
15411s should be able to do that they finally
15412s got the Morris blessing of the golden
15414s gear over for them say jjh already
15417s having a good game it just got better
15420s yeah very interesting there uh licks in
15423s there waiting super long to pop that uh
15426s temi to cover the box and you know I can
15429s see maybe not after the first or second
15431s shot but after about the fifth or sixth
15432s shot it's time to just go ahead and drop
15434s the Tamil and take the box I mean that's
15436s why you run temi in the comp to begin
15439s with is to secure those late game Wars
15441s blessings to get those armors for your
15444s Transformers comp there's no point in
15446s just trying to save the old and not
15447s using it for the Box especially while
15449s you're under Fire just secure the box
15451s that's what he's put into the comp for
15453s and speaking of teams you know playing
15456s specific comps we're talking about KLA
15458s kind of sitting on on those five
15460s eliminations and being happy with it but
15462s one of the other things to take note
15463s here is they are playing that more
15465s traditional monk comp and that monk comp
15467s is a late game final Circle cop that's
15470s where they're looking to pick up their
15471s eliminations so they don't have to worry
15474s about eliminations in the early to mid
15476s game as long as they have managed to
15477s actually pick up what they're looking
15480s for in terms of gear and they definitely
15481s have so KLA can still pop off and have a
15485s phenomenal game as we move into the
15486s final Circle 14 players left alive this
15488s is zone five collapsing on to zone six
15491s and I want you to take a look at this
15492s positioning here for KLA if you remember
15494s in our last game on Morris Isle they
15496s were positioned very similarly right
15499s they had that rock where they had that
15500s little Edge they could just come and
15502s repair stuff and they are playing
15504s textbook the exact same game that they
15506s played on Morris Isle here on to hollow
15510s Roth and this just happens to end up
15512s being a very favorable Circle for a
15515s traditional monk comp
15516s absolutely and that's looking thing I
15519s was going to note on as well is
15520s typically when you have a final circle
15522s on this map it's not particularly that
15524s monk favored this is a dream monk setup
15528s Kelly still holding fast they're not
15530s going up they're waiting for all of the
15531s mechs to Chance the transform and here
15533s we go Transformations coming out ykc can
15537s he find the grabs just gonna shove back
15539s jdg for now looking for the grabs onto
15542s the members hasn't been able to find one
15544s is set on fire unfortunately for now
15546s they're still trying to find these grabs
15548s unable to fully connect them there's one
15550s already for KLA they're gonna get onto
15552s koopy repeating crossbow standard monk
15555s stuff there popping them into the zone
15557s and making sure that kill is gifted over
15559s he is burning but with the kurumi Teva
15561s he's gonna be nice and healthy we'll
15563s lose the transformation now but that was
15565s one kill gonna head over get that Soul
15567s Bloom grab another as much energy as
15569s much rage as possible before the next
15571s transformation as soon as a tornado
15573s coming out actually here is Godly going
15575s into the transformation himself trying
15576s to see if he can find onto these members
15578s members of KLA looks like they are able
15581s to disengage away from this high ground
15583s for now okay up to six kills jjh though
15586s are absolutely ruling this lobby with 14
15590s kills under their belt there's still 10
15592s players there's still plenty of
15593s opportunities for jjh to catch
15596s themselves into that elusive group of
15599s the 20 bomb which we've already had two
15601s teams get and with the Transformer with
15602s the primary carry getting caught from
15605s the KLC they are okay hey sorry they are
15608s in danger they're able to heal him up
15609s and keep him alive Godly now
15611s transforming on The High Ground gonna
15613s just spray down into the corner where
15614s KLA are hiding for the moment but with
15616s the Harpoon coming in that secondary
15618s shot just doing so much damage bopping
15620s into the Zone jjh gonna push up for more
15623s to see if they can get the damage off
15625s another great shot coming in from that
15627s secondary fire on to the members of jdg
15630s here and that is a great shot to xiaohui
15632s able to secure a 15th kill here for jjh
15635s we're seeing another transformation as
15637s LSR is able to get himself up onto the
15640s higher ground I'm going to call him
15641s loser because that's what his name's
15642s going towards getting himself a grab
15644s onto qgg gonna slam him down as well
15647s forcing him onto that low ground now
15649s we're seeing more people go in for
15651s Transformations there's so many people
15652s and oh just plucked from the low ground
15656s loser able to find himself the grab
15658s absolutely fantastic Dudley is gonna get
15661s himself grabbed and responds slammed
15662s into the Zone gonna pop the bell for the
15664s moment because ykc trying to find
15666s another grab but he does g transform and
15668s honestly KLA not being able to find the
15670s kills they want in this late game here
15672s still eight players left and hazely able
15675s to hold on to this High Ground Godly
15677s being forced back to just a moment is a
15679s way away from getting his monk
15680s transformation back up and available for
15682s him but JJ H pushing up onto these KLA
15685s members they're actually staggering qgg
15688s into the Zone he's gonna be able to move
15690s his way out safely but ykz in danger
15692s Here Comes Chewie jumping in with the
15694s Mech transformation switching in to the
15697s secondary fire catching up to 17 kills
15700s now I believe for his team absolutely
15703s phenomenal late game for these guys and
15705s just early game they've had a really
15707s Stellar Morris Isle making it 18 kills
15710s they're going for the 20 bomb they're
15711s gonna join the likes of xcg and KLA on a
15715s 20 bomb the day an absolutely big one
15718s Godly also transformed slamming down 19.
15721s they are one away from that 20 bomb and
15725s jjh have had an absolutely killer
15728s performance on holler off in game number
15730s five as they are putting more numbers
15732s more kills under their belt and it is a
15735s absolutely beautiful game for jjh
15739s yeah textbook here for jjh and I do
15742s believe it's going to be a 21 bomb for
15744s the likes of them and a first place
15745s finish and I want to talk about the
15747s moment that absolutely secures this
15749s Lobby for jjh they already had a ton of
15752s eliminations under their belt but KLA
15754s was perched up in the perfect place
15757s for a Transformers comp jdg pushes onto
15761s KLA forces the transformation out of KLA
15764s KLA able to pick up an elimination from
15767s it and go to the back side KLA feels
15770s like okay we're safe we did this last
15772s game we're going to be able to just
15773s maintain this little corner but jjh is
15777s watching jjh held on to their olds for
15780s that precise moment and as soon as KLA
15782s no longer has the transformation
15784s available for themselves it's jjh who
15786s pushes up onto the rock we see an
15788s instantaneous monk transformation from
15791s God Lee who scurries KLA away giving jjh
15794s The High Ground to be able to secure
15797s multiple eliminations and then
15800s immediately Godly mix up as soon as that
15803s transformation goes Bob's KLA out of
15805s their new hiding space and KLA is just
15807s scattered and separated and it's jjh
15811s who's able to fully capitalize on the
15813s rest of the lobby after being able to
15815s take out their biggest threat
15818s for me is it felt like jjh controlled
15820s the tempo of that game like that final
15822s Circle was very much theirs and they
15824s were
15825s what is that what's the head of the
15826s orchestra called conductor they were the
15828s conductor of that of that final Circle
15830s and they can drop the pacing the
15832s rotations the movement you know it felt
15835s like KLA played that game right in the
15837s way they wanted to but jjh just seemed
15839s to have an answer for it they seem to be
15840s a step ahead of them and at the end of
15843s the day that just costs uh that cost KLA
15845s that game unfortunately but you know
15847s also I think that game was the first
15849s game this uh trios at least where third
15853s partying felt like a thing again it felt
15855s like a lot of the fights in our first
15856s four games were relatively isolated with
15858s the old third party but like this game
15860s was very much defined but like one team
15862s started a fight and then another team
15863s coming in and I thought what was really
15865s interesting versus what we've seen in
15867s previous Seasons when it comes to third
15869s parties was teams recognizing when an
15872s outer third party and it was way more
15874s thought out it was way more kind of
15877s um strategized as a third party I mean I
15880s I heart my mind back to the KLA one uh
15883s where they tried to third party Gigi and
15885s a current the other team was uh maybe it
15887s was Casey I can't remember but they were
15889s trying to third party onto these onto
15890s this team and they played it really well
15892s but they just got caught off by the
15894s Bane's breath it felt like
15896s the team they went into would knew that
15898s there was a third party coming so they
15899s held their veins breath they didn't use
15901s it initially in that in the 1v1 they
15903s knew a third party would show up and
15905s they knew they could turn the table
15906s tight tables tied uh Tides with the uh
15909s with the Bane's breath
15911s it was honestly it's just
15913s one of the best third parties I've seen
15915s it looks
15917s it's a very slow tempered fight and very
15920s drawn out but it was so well thought out
15922s and everybody every team was kind of
15924s like trying to put each other in check
15926s in that fight and yeah they were the
15927s first team to suffer for it because GG
15929s they turned it back around with another
15931s amazing third party but here we go here
15934s is the scoreboard for our game number
15936s five obviously we know jjh are gonna be
15939s number one there with a 20 bomb and a 37
15941s point game it is rare to see a 20 bomb
15944s game come out we've had three today and
15946s we've had 25 as well I believe as well
15948s we've had so many high scoring games
15951s today
15952s yeah absolutely I mean yeah 25 did come
15955s through and again that's very rare I do
15957s believe the record is a 29 elimination
15960s game for trios and keep in mind
15963s there are
15964s six less players that's potentially 12
15968s less kills in the lobby for these teams
15971s to be picking up and we're still seeing
15974s games that are coming close to reaching
15976s the records from last season right yeah
15979s I I can't understate the importance of
15982s the fact that there's two entire teams
15985s less and I say realistically six kills
15988s right because they are oh excuse me
15990s gonna use that resource they're gonna
15992s use that Resurrection
15993s and then go in but it's potentially even
15996s more kills from that because we have
15997s seen teams before let teams pick
15999s resurrections so that they can Farm
16001s eliminations off of the team just
16004s getting those resurrections and the
16006s player being low right yeah so it could
16008s be potentially even more than six
16011s eliminations that these teams are
16013s missing out on from there being two less
16015s teams in the lobby and they're still
16017s dropping 20 bombs back to back I think
16022s that's a very very explainable reason
16024s for why this is happening and as he goes
16027s down to third party I think a lot of the
16029s uh a lot of the fights that we've been
16031s seeing in previous Seasons sometimes
16033s you'd see teams you just didn't want to
16035s fight early because there was always a
16037s threat to somebody who is around with
16039s two extra squads missing the map is
16041s already quite big then you take away two
16043s other teams it feels like people start a
16045s lot more spread out or you have two
16047s teams dropping in one place and then
16048s everybody another two teams dropping in
16050s a different place so teams are more
16052s willing to take these fights early uh
16054s than they used to be I think sometimes
16055s you had like you know at least three
16058s teams per Lobby who would just grab Loot
16060s and not want to fight until mid game
16063s and I think now because of this we are
16066s starting to see more early action which
16068s means there are Vibes are being used so
16069s the kills are staying hot and I think
16071s that's why this is happening this way I
16073s might be wrong but that's that's my
16074s theory on it
16078s yeah I was gonna say you know because
16080s realm of Yang also has changed the
16081s pacing of the game yeah dramatically
16083s right because we're talking about those
16084s teams that don't want to take fights mid
16086s game because Transformer comp again it's
16088s so reliant on gear and the only way to
16090s guarantee the gear the Transformer comps
16092s needed used to be securing those Morris
16095s blessings right which is why we saw the
16097s tummies just lock into those comps so
16100s hard but now you have Realms of Yang
16102s where you just don't even have to worry
16103s about the third party and you can still
16105s secure that level of gear but I want to
16108s take a moment here to go ahead and just
16110s talk about Chewie here the MVP for jjd
16113s obviously coming through on the the
16116s ferry and again this comp served them
16117s very well in game one but xcg was just
16119s able to come through and dominate that
16121s Lobby and unfortunately J JH just didn't
16124s find the game that they wanted there but
16126s we're gonna see here six kills and eight
16128s assists for Chewie there from jjh and I
16132s mean with xcg being eliminated in this
16135s Lobby and them coming back to that
16137s Comfort comp that they enjoyed in game
16139s one so well the new comp that you know
16142s we theorized about three different
16144s potential comps this being one of them
16146s and this comp clearly the favorite comp
16148s by all of these teams and it has worked
16151s well for jjh and now that xcg has
16154s completely lost their momentum they have
16157s been able to come back onto the comp I
16159s think it was a clear decision right
16160s because for the two games after the
16162s first game they were like we need to see
16164s if xcg is Just Gonna Keep dominating the
16166s lobby if so maybe we need to think about
16168s changing our Tempo or comp and then as
16170s soon as they fell off and started doing
16172s poorly they decide okay game five we're
16174s gonna bring this comp back and see how
16176s it does and it pays off for them with
16178s dividends it's not that they had a bad
16180s game one it's just that xcg had a better
16183s game one yes absolutely I think that's
16185s the key thing to note is ACG you know
16188s they had a really really good game on
16190s but I don't know also at the same time I
16192s don't know what's happened it's as if
16194s they they just run out of energy of the
16196s second game you know that that loss
16198s going zero points on game three
16200s seemingly seems to have shattered their
16202s mental they've in the last two games
16205s point five points that's it it's not
16207s been a good doe fancy G anyway uh I
16210s believe we're going to a break and we'll
16212s be back with game at number six our
16214s final game of the day so we'll see you
16216s in a moment

16435s ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the
16436s rocker blade point of pro league I'm
16438s your host and your Caster the Rune
16439s keeper joining me today it's been an
16442s absolute pleasure to have my boy hip
16444s Reign here with me and man what a
16447s kickoff to the spring split here these
16449s Trio games have been insane xcg I really
16453s thought was coming in after those first
16455s two games and you even you felt it too
16458s you were like man I could see them
16459s winning all six games today and all of a
16463s sudden they just they fell apart they
16465s crumbled in game three and I think after
16468s that it has gotten so bad to their
16470s mental they've just not been able to
16472s bring it back I don't know what you're
16474s talking about I definitely didn't think
16475s xcg were gonna win at all I I don't know
16478s where you got that information from your
16480s sources have lied to you
16484s it's been a rough day for scg let's be
16486s real it's been a real rough day for them
16488s maybe they can make that Miracle
16490s recovery at the end of the day uh
16492s they've had a little bit of a break in
16494s between game four and five now so
16495s they've had a bit of time to recover I I
16497s love this new pacing for the show and
16499s for the way the game runs because you
16501s know you basically shave like a bad hour
16504s and a half off the day
16506s but what the hour and a half is normally
16508s used for is recovery is for planning
16510s it's for talking you know
16512s while we'll be filling the air and
16514s chatting to you guys and you'll be
16515s watching adverts and videos and stuff
16517s the players backstage are going okay
16520s what worked Why didn't it work they
16521s don't have that much time now in between
16523s it's it's they have that time now in
16525s between the days to prep but like in
16528s while they're live while they're on
16529s stage they've basically got to figure
16531s out what the hell is going wrong for
16532s them and then fix it in a very short
16535s period of time that was like a three
16536s minute break you know a little bit
16538s longer for them they probably got like
16539s eight minutes worth of Break Time
16540s realistically to get to get prepped so
16543s it is
16544s it's it's harder for them to kind of get
16546s their stuff together speak to their
16547s coaches and figure out what they're
16548s going to be planning and playing going
16549s into the sixth game but they've had some
16552s time
16553s you know if they got an answer I figured
16556s it out it's xcg strategy get eliminated
16558s early and you've got 25 minutes of prep
16560s time that the other teams don't have
16562s Jake oh my word genius right although
16566s I'm pretty sure they just have to sit
16567s there and watch the game I don't think
16568s they can walk off stage no but they can
16571s still talk with one another
16572s Trey Trey Bobby frustrating for the
16576s coach again
16584s uh no I'll see what they pick I'll see
16586s what they pick coming into this I think
16588s they have
16589s about five or six hero points left I
16591s remember the first time you pick it
16592s doesn't cost anything so they have some
16594s Heroes they can afford to uh pick
16597s actually they might not have spent any
16598s points last game
16600s I can't remember now no no they spent
16602s zero points last game uh because it was
16605s all heroes they had yet to play uh I I'm
16608s not sure don't quote me on this they
16611s could potentially play monk if they play
16612s two Heroes that they just haven't
16614s touched all day and it's the same thing
16617s I said last game if they if I see Jean
16620s on lock-in monk I'm gonna lose my mind
16623s Jake there's absolutely no world where
16627s it is acceptable for them to go back and
16630s try to play monk with two random Heroes
16635s no I I agree with you as much as I kind
16637s of want to see valda Monk uh I agree
16639s with you I think that would be uh
16643s yeah yeah
16645s we'll see I guess I guess we'll just see
16648s when we get into Heroes like we can see
16650s what what they uh
16652s what they decide to lock in here but man
16656s on the other side I think it's it's we
16658s should probably talk a little bit about
16659s JJ H right Mike
16661s these guys have been kind of sleeper all
16663s day and then just hop off in game number
16666s five and it was just intelligent play
16668s they played it really really smart
16669s really well so I'm excited to see their
16672s performance coming into this game six
16674s obviously I still on KLA as well because
16676s I think if anything they've been the
16678s most consistent team of the day at least
16680s on the top end of the table I think it
16682s seems to be consistent at the bottom end
16683s of the table as well but I think KLA
16685s have been the most consistently you know
16687s decently performing Team all day so as
16691s we get into the hero select let's see
16693s what they're going to be picking up here
16695s eyes on xcg to see what they've got in
16698s their pocket I'm also trying to find KLA
16700s in the bottom oh they've both gone for
16703s the same team the zipping Matari Tammy
16706s team there's a bunch of Monk uh monks
16708s still getting picked up here
16710s by these guys and actually interestingly
16712s KLA have used more hero points today
16715s than xcg have
16717s you know I'm looking at these comps and
16721s I'm actually happy to see xcg picking up
16722s this comp this is a very similar comp to
16725s the one that we saw J team trial with
16727s Takeda and worked very well and
16729s specifically on the Morris Isle night
16731s map because there are more fireflies
16734s available to them this is the first team
16736s comp that they've picked up that feels
16739s like they're actually trying to make a
16741s strategic decision and not just throwing
16744s stuff at the wall because they're
16746s panicking after their first two games
16748s yeah absolutely well
16750s we are loading through onto Morris Isle
16753s for our final game
16757s everybody's starting roughly around the
16759s same area so expect them to Skirmish and
16762s find each other KLA are down by
16764s right I can't see who dropped with them
16767s who'll be spawning up there as well but
16770s there is a bunch of teams all in fairly
16773s close proximity to one another so this
16775s could get bloody very fast
16778s oh yeah this is going to be a very
16781s intense game xcg needs to come out of
16783s the gate and they need to W key this
16785s Lobby they just don't have a choice
16788s anymore after how poor their performance
16790s has been over the last three games if
16792s I'm xcg I'm looking for KLA and I want
16795s to eliminate them early right look at
16797s this 102 points on KLA xcg 30 points
16802s behind jjh even after commanding game
16806s though because they had four kind of Mac
16808s games to start the day off still in
16810s third place but still many points behind
16813s xcg as we see team at GS here going
16815s head-to-head straight with wbg they're
16817s gonna pick up the elimination onto
16819s Sleepwalker looking here on Jing but
16821s Jing gonna turn a massive Harry on to
16823s gs's and Jing coming in with the charge
16825s left click on the katana there goes for
16827s it again but Ann gonna get the Clank off
16829s there keeping GS into the fight wbg Jing
16832s gonna be forced to back off as AOW shows
16834s up gets the grab and the elimination on
16837s to gs's Toto and AOW is going to pick up
16841s a couple of eliminations here early on
16844s into the first game and the rest of wbg
16846s waiting in the wings to see if aw he's
16848s gonna back off of this so they can pick
16850s up the resurrection and not have to use
16852s an early one but all of Team GS can be
16854s sent back to Soul Alton
16857s yeah going straight back as a KZ pinned
16859s against the wall here the Bane's breath
16861s takes out two
16864s oh that was beautiful you ewg just got
16868s punished counted the bell comes down
16872s but the Bell does toll As ewg lose all
16876s three members that was a phenomenal
16879s veins breath but I know it's random but
16881s it was a phenomenal men's breath
16882s regardless cutting over to jjh winners
16885s of our previous game Godly going in for
16887s the transformation here trying to see if
16889s he can grab pink towel able to do so
16890s looking for the second grab as well the
16892s tether is on the pink Tower one Slam in
16894s can he find the re-grab is gonna be the
16896s question I'm able to land that one or
16898s the second one either it looks like
16900s they're gonna keep the pressure up they
16902s do get the double grab the double slam
16904s Dudley fights the third grab as well
16906s whole bunch of additional damage into
16908s the slam chutung grabbed once again and
16912s down he goes JJ hates kicking it off in
16915s style xcg though they are here with
16918s force six kills under their belt they
16920s want to catch up to KLA who have found
16922s themselves in a fight here versus OC
16924s securing themselves their first kill of
16926s the game making it a second as well
16928s actually as OC sliding in maybe more
16931s people here all bones breakfast their
16933s veins breath I'm getting I'm getting
16934s excited for nothing here but they do
16936s find XI Meng and oeg also in the area
16939s yeah KL needs to play this very
16941s carefully they picked up the elimination
16943s there onto OC they want to make sure
16944s that OC can't come get this Resurrection
16947s but this is OC's Bane's breath so we're
16950s seeing qgg here doing a lot of Bane
16952s surfing just trying to stay on this body
16954s and keep OC from being able to pick up
16957s the resurrection in the safety of the
16959s Bane's breath and qgg man he knows what
16961s he's doing here he knows how to avoid
16963s the Bane's breath there there's a little
16965s bit of luck if that Bane's breath comes
16967s down right Square in the middle of qgg
16969s obviously there's nothing you can do
16970s they do get the time out there onto the
16973s player from OC and another player from
16974s OC actually getting picked up by oug and
16977s now we'll see down to a single member
16979s there's no hope really for this Bane's
16981s breath to be able to save OC here with
16984s both of these teams watching them now
16985s that said Z Meng there gonna pick up a
16988s massive Perry into a repos but it's just
16990s not enough the damage comes through it's
16993s big damage but oug has the numbers
16995s Advantage here the Bane's breath wears
16997s off and OC is going to get sent back to
16999s the soul altar
17000s yeah absolutely lovely stuff going in
17002s from that side so oeg
17005s now look at the hunt down jdg
17009s seeing if I can find the opportunity to
17011s get them they're not they're going to be
17012s able to do so though unfortunately
17014s stepping away KLA actually are fairly
17017s close in the area and could come in as a
17019s third party there actually pincering in
17021s right now on jdg they play this smart
17024s they might be able to get themselves a
17025s whole bunch of kills and actually catch
17026s up
17027s 2xcg who right now
17030s aren't leading the charge
17033s in the kill front at least anyway with
17035s six kills is uh looks like KLA I I'm not
17038s feeling it they just want to back off
17039s you know they've they've got themselves
17041s 104 points xcg haven't even got fully to
17044s the 80 yet so they're feeling
17045s comfortable as long as they have a good
17047s game here they can at least end today in
17049s first
17050s yeah absolutely boundar here actually
17052s finding themselves engaged with GS now
17054s as well a really clean Viper coming out
17056s onto gs's and and GS has already been
17059s back to the soul alter once here this is
17061s a fight they don't want to see
17062s themselves losing but Baldock continues
17064s to separate but Joe Toto from downtown
17067s with a long range grab actually turns
17070s this fight back in the favor he does
17072s find another Grabber but thank you
17074s with the old is Gonna Save the team
17077s there GS looked to be completely
17080s separated there but Zhao Toto finds a
17083s grab from quite literally the other side
17085s of the football field and is able to
17088s bring them back into the fight GS lives
17091s to fight another day well xcg now being
17094s hunted down here by GG trying to finish
17098s them up
17099s in a bit of danger gets over the wall
17101s but it looks like Knight HQ will lose
17103s his life is GG able to pick up living
17105s thing sorry trying to also get away he's
17108s been bopped down onto that low ground
17109s where he has no nowhere to run there
17111s just grapple stunning him TK also in the
17113s area kind of using that uh the rubble
17116s there kind of as a maze to hide in as
17118s xcg are able to chase off and actually
17122s split apart GG here miss Kia is in
17125s danger and may just give his life over
17127s as TK come in with a beautiful third
17130s party and they're able to take this kill
17132s for themselves
17133s yeah TK finds a really good third party
17136s here picks up multiple members of Team g
17140s g xcg looks like they were able to get
17143s one of those resurrections off but now
17145s they're gonna have to face the ire there
17146s of teammate TK bowdah able to pick up
17149s all three eliminations on GS but
17151s unfortunately that's team GS completely
17153s eliminated from the final game of the
17156s day here and TK also going to be picking
17159s up xcg xiaon as well xcg with seven
17162s eliminations under their belt gonna be
17164s sent back to the soul alter but this is
17166s a much better performance from xcg this
17168s is what I expect to see hyper aggression
17171s early use that Resurrection as a
17174s resource right you've got it you might
17176s as well fight as long as you've got it
17178s they do end up you know losing all three
17181s members here but all three have
17182s resurrections and they have seven
17184s eliminations to show for it
17187s and they've they've had a uh they've had
17190s a very very good game six a massive
17193s recovery and a needed recovery as well
17195s because they have I mean frankly they've
17198s just been underperforming there's no
17199s other way to word it Roman yangs are now
17201s going to be spawning up any second now
17203s so expect to see a little bit more
17205s action coming out I say a little bit
17206s more we've had honestly you've been
17208s blessed today with some very high impact
17210s High action games in KLA they know they
17213s need to put some points on the board so
17214s they're going to jump in they do get hit
17215s by the poison mushrooms unfortunately so
17217s that dot is Gonna Hurt Sleepwalker has
17219s gone for the transformation wbg trying
17221s to see if they can turn their tides of
17223s this fight as qgg is losing so much HP
17226s throwing down the ultimate but he's
17228s slams Sleepwalker we'll finish him up no
17230s the healing comes in The Poisoned
17232s shrimps popped again into the grab qgg
17236s is dunzo as PP secures the kill and KLA
17241s will lose another player so they are
17244s just gonna have to look for those
17245s rebirth charms because there is no way
17247s they're gonna recover from this
17249s yeah I know they do lose uh kind of the
17252s integral part of that team right again
17253s we talked about coming into the game how
17255s important the night time on this map is
17257s for the that particular comp because
17260s you're able to feed into the old of
17262s Takeda and make sure you have it for
17264s every fight the rest of that team comp
17266s really supporting the aggression from
17268s Takeda the way that it's built here and
17271s unfortunately without Takeda they're not
17273s really going to be able to take any
17275s fights to their advantage they kind of
17277s lose the the person that that comps are
17279s built around they now need to find that
17281s Resurrection charm and get them back in
17282s jjh here gonna find their well in to a
17286s realm of Yang and this is the only
17288s downside for xcg right xcg can't really
17291s take these Realms of Yang after you know
17293s coming back with only wipes they're
17295s gonna be forced to go look for gear
17297s elsewhere but we are watching a fight
17298s breakout here between ewg and GG and the
17302s realm of Yang 330 gonna stand on top of
17304s this crew meal he was able to find one
17306s grab but not able to capitalize on a
17308s kill here miss you're gonna be forced to
17310s go ahead and pop the old as well you Ron
17311s going to go ahead and stagger 330 before
17314s he can get the slam but doesn't cover
17316s the second slam and because of that too
17319s tick here going to go very low and Misty
17321s you're going to be able to find the
17322s elimination lxm caught out a little bit
17325s here but it's not going to be enough as
17327s you Ron it finds himself in a situation
17329s where he has to potentially win a 1v3
17331s for the second game in a row and he's
17334s not able to clutch it out as team GG
17336s comes out on top
17337s really really nice stuff there from
17339s James team GG gonna grab themselves the
17342s uh Vermilion Birds might head back onto
17345s the map and see what damage they can do
17346s got four kills now for GG they're a team
17349s who you know interestingly when we
17352s watched them last year they were always
17353s this kind of like third place team they
17355s were never never the top team they were
17357s always you know always the bridesmaid
17360s never the bride I think was what I once
17361s said about them
17363s and there's a scene with serious
17365s potential but I don't really understand
17366s what seems to fall short for them
17370s but maybe maybe this year we'll see some
17372s growth but for now
17374s like they kind of they're kind of
17375s actually not having the greatest day
17377s they've got 40 points it's been a pretty
17379s rough one but then again it's been a
17380s high scoring day in in GG's defense
17382s there's been some pretty Bonkers numbers
17385s turned out I mean when
17387s 14th Place is 27 points that's not a lot
17390s but I've definitely seen more teams have
17394s lower than that by game five before so
17397s yeah absolutely
17399s it's been a very high scoring day a very
17401s high scoring day very high scoring ewg
17404s here actually fighting around onto OC
17405s Slayer here and textbook we just see
17407s that repeating crossbow turned onto the
17409s player into two ticks hand here two tick
17411s actually gonna be able to pick up one of
17413s those uh oh my goodness my brain just
17416s died uh the soul Bloom Essence so you
17419s can get rid of that Yang depletion but
17421s ewg desperately needs to find some more
17424s they're gonna find it the second one
17426s here and I do believe only one player on
17428s their team now has that Yang depletion
17430s so they can just buy it back
17431s realistically if they need to GG here
17433s with that Vermilion bird might pushing
17435s into jjh jjh also ironically the other
17439s team uh with the Vermillion available so
17442s GG going to pick up some eliminations
17445s there but jjh not really going to lose
17447s too much to it we still in the key uh C
17449s in the kill feed TK picking up a couple
17452s kills on to xcg and I do believe that
17455s could be it for xcg they're down to a
17457s single player Left Alive bow down coming
17459s in out for a massive third party here
17461s lion TT trying to make something happen
17462s here with that yellow but the Viper stun
17464s comes through from bow down actually
17467s stops Gigi's 330 in his tracks we're
17470s gonna see lxm actually just slip through
17472s the hands of GG's 330. can't get the
17475s slam onto malmont actually gets out of
17477s there we're gonna see the TP Come Out 3
17480s 30. tries to turn that fight on its head
17482s even though they were the ones who get
17484s third party there but thankfully Baldock
17487s has the luchan old to buy them freedom
17490s because 330 almost made that a bad
17493s decision for the likes of the other team
17496s yeah absolutely well meanwhile okay like
17499s have been able to revive their uh decada
17502s KGG right now
17504s about to get the ultimate back up and
17506s available to him as well as he's chasing
17507s onto ewg
17509s go over the grapple locks quick switch
17511s to the pistol to get a bit of damage off
17512s but those repeating crossbows are a
17515s nuisance at the best of times when you
17517s sit there eating that are just gonna
17518s recover their weapons not gonna get the
17520s shield back yet
17521s despite doesn't seem completely done ewg
17523s feeling eager to turn it and try and see
17525s if they can punish QA KLA for
17528s overstaying for over greeting
17532s it does look like
17535s a little bit of damage off
17538s chasing on but it's been a very
17540s staggered fight voice is going again
17542s very staggered fight as uh GGG gets
17546s himself chunks a lot of Health but I
17548s gotta remember he's the main damage
17549s dealer and he's dealing the damage that
17552s was beautiful the mech transformation
17553s comes out and he just breaks away that
17556s was phenomenal from qgg to hold his own
17559s versus those two there yeah kujiji
17561s played that extremely well used that to
17563s get all exactly how you should and what
17565s happens a lot of times with the takatas
17567s you'll see they'll pop that ultimate and
17569s they'll back out he sees the opportunity
17571s he's got a three-man all he knows he has
17573s control of the neutral he says I'm gonna
17575s come in with the the charge right click
17577s here from the Greatsword guarantee the
17579s big damage and that's gonna buy me more
17581s space than just trying to run away ever
17584s will right if they have to stop to try
17586s to burn resources get their armor back
17589s up they're gonna think twice about
17591s giving Chase to me and that's exactly
17592s what happens and now they're finding
17594s themselves winning the fight into ewg
17596s off the back of qgg really just playing
17599s hyper aggressive with that ultimate
17601s knowing exactly how he can turn that
17604s fight catches three people out with a
17606s charge uppercut from the great sword and
17607s then immediately backs away knows what
17611s he can get and doesn't push for more no
17614s that was really really well played for
17615s him quickly gonna go back and uh snuck
17617s up on grapples because he was only down
17618s to one after that fight so uh just get
17621s himself back up to that nice 18 Mark he
17622s also got himself a long sword I think he
17624s feels way more comfortable with
17625s something like a long sword on the
17626s cicada than uh with that great sword
17628s although he did do some brilliant work
17630s with it but it's just gonna switch out
17632s and uh
17635s now we'll see what KLA can do that is
17638s their third kill of the game again
17640s kind of had a bit of a quieter tail end
17643s of the day but you know again
17644s consistency has been key for these guys
17646s they have been
17647s really on the ball like at least scoring
17649s something every game and then they have
17651s the two pop-off games like I said
17652s earlier you want like a couple of
17654s pop-off games and then some consistent
17656s games rather than loads of pop-off games
17658s and then no scorer games
17660s hear the rubber young wbg will be taking
17662s a fight versus k z so let's see the
17664s transformation is coming out the mech
17666s can get picked up as well if they want
17667s to take it they're actually holding off
17669s on the moment as uh as he goes to the
17671s transformation grabs Jing immediately
17673s he's gonna be able to get a bunch of
17675s damage off with the bow and the slam
17677s Jing it's chunked looking for the
17679s re-grab unable to fully connect he's
17680s actually going to transport as Jen jumps
17682s into the mech what happened there they
17684s just lost the Mecca and all of their
17686s health immediately Jen's gonna get
17688s grabbed by Sleepwalker and that should
17690s just be the end of gen here Sandstorm
17692s down they're gonna get popped able to
17694s just about avoid for a little bit longer
17696s but they're getting chased on to Lings
17697s Amber also finish it up with the
17699s Terracotta Warrior now all of the
17701s Transformers have pretty much timed out
17703s as it's a man down for KZ and they need
17706s to somehow find a way to make this work
17708s for them but they do have Jing uh sorry
17710s Jing still on the transformation it's
17711s gonna D transform out with the uppercut
17713s it should just be the counter they
17715s needed Jing has no weapons to work with
17718s switches to the pole sword tries to get
17720s that snipe off and there it is wbg find
17723s the way the win
17725s yeah wbg playing that very well if you
17727s notice Sleepwalker standing where he can
17730s deny access to the pillar for the
17732s Transformer Fifi making a bit of a
17734s mistake drops the pillar and goes okay
17737s I'm just gonna push into that when we
17738s push into the fight but the rest of wbg
17741s actually pushes them back off the pillar
17743s Sleepwalker stands behind it not in
17745s range to be knocked back if somebody
17747s actually gets to the pillar and drops
17749s the mech but close enough that he can
17751s deny access to it with the threat of the
17754s grabs they then go behind the pillar
17756s he's forced to push forward and they
17759s come out and try to NAB onto the mech
17761s but as soon as they NAB onto the mech
17763s they realize how low their HP goes
17765s because of a rain shot that comes out
17767s they're forced to d-mac to try to get
17769s away and then their Monk Is Able
17771s Sleepwalker just throws those hands
17773s picks up the Fifi and that's all they
17775s wrote for team KZ
17779s just massive absolutely massive play
17781s coming in from them on that front
17782s there's a bowder finding themselves
17785s engaged on by KZ remember KZ have got
17788s the uh the realm of Yang debuff on them
17791s the depletion
17792s founder they've been pretty good in the
17796s tail Ender today to be honest they've
17797s been picked out quite a few kills here
17798s and there yeah I'm just gonna back off
17800s though as KZ
17802s trying to chase onto bowder obviously
17805s the timer is ticking away they've got
17808s I believe how long have we got three
17810s minutes left on on that before
17812s they unfortunately will fall victim to
17816s the depletion and it actually just feels
17818s like balder I'm overly interested in
17819s taking a fight it to me feels like they
17822s are just playing this nice and uh nice
17824s and relaxed and just backing off at the
17826s moment so we cut over to GG we find
17828s himself in a fight here versus OC
17831s ultimate has been years of the uh
17833s Eurasian for the transformation let's
17835s say GG just gonna
17838s disengage for now from OC
17841s yeah GG here though still wanting to
17843s keep OC you know in distance where they
17846s can see what's going on and it looks
17847s like one of their members actually
17848s really separated here yeah Gigi's
17851s instantaneously gonna capitalize on this
17852s no way they're gonna let z-pin get back
17854s to the rest of their team and the rest
17856s of OC just gonna be forced to leave
17858s sleeping there if they turn around
17859s they're really just feeding another kill
17861s into the machine that is team GG it's
17864s great to see GG finally having kind of a
17867s pop-off game because they really were in
17869s season one of nbpl last year they were a
17872s team to be reckoned with 3 30 one of the
17874s best monks in the league
17876s popped off almost every final Circle
17879s regardless of whether Gigi actually won
17881s the game or not
17883s they always kind of put points up in the
17885s board and were towards the top they were
17887s one of the teams to keep an eye for and
17889s it kind of sadly towards the end of
17891s season two and the beginning of Worlds
17893s they just fell off pretty heavily last
17894s year malmondi here from about coming in
17896s with the Tactical nuke unfortunately
17898s it's more like an extremely tactical
17901s nuke where it just targets a single
17903s player but it happens to be KLA cx-z and
17906s that is gonna be a player eliminated
17908s here from KLA and unfortunately from KLA
17912s the zone is pushing in they don't really
17914s have the option to try to get cxd back
17917s into the game here with so many teams
17920s around and the threat of this Zone tick
17922s going to zone four as soon as it fully
17924s collapsed they're gonna need to go ahead
17926s and get deeper into the island and just
17928s let cxe stay where they are
17931s about to pushing up onto them able to
17933s pick up one kill there for themselves is
17935s AOW actually on that third party may try
17938s and just gate keep them on the way in or
17939s at least get a bit of Splash and Chip
17940s damage off pinktow gonna run in just
17942s grab what he can if he needs anything
17943s from this uh Karen and it's just gonna
17946s head back into that zone aw though just
17949s be a little bit careful because there
17950s are people in the area
17954s I can't believe this look at this KLA
17956s the absolute mad LEDs run back into the
17959s Zone with the threat of a third party
17961s into fourth party looming over their
17963s head and they actually get cxz back into
17965s the game
17966s oh my word what how did they pull that
17969s off
17971s absolute mad Lads we turned the camera
17974s away for him for two seconds and it's
17976s like the scene in uh Lord of the Rings
17978s where he's looking at Gandalf and he's
17980s like fine keep your secrets then
17982s [Laughter]
17986s struggling in the resource front right
17988s now
17989s um they got a couple of weapon repairs
17991s they got no grappling hooks it's a k l a
17994s definitely struggling a little bit on
17997s that front so these final winning versus
17999s another team and maybe grab some goodies
18000s or
18001s just find a shot do a little shopping
18002s yeah that's also an option I guess
18005s probably could do with some better armor
18007s though so they probably should take out
18008s a team and get some purple armor for
18010s themselves because right now the Blue's
18011s on just the one member not particularly
18013s the best
18015s well if you see here they're coming in
18016s they're looking to try to secure this uh
18018s Morris blessing I don't think that they
18020s know bow da is waiting in the wings here
18022s but they desperately need to try to
18024s contest this the problem is that they
18026s don't really have any sort of ultimate
18028s or ability to cover this and
18030s unfortunately a bane is gonna come down
18032s onto that as well it's gonna make it
18035s twice as hard for them to secure it
18036s under the fire of another team when they
18038s don't have a temio yeah absolutely
18042s see the cannon fire coming down
18044s across the way eight minutes left on the
18047s clock twenty or 27 players okay actually
18049s oh my God they don't
18052s oh they got away with it they got the
18053s gold armor but why Casey just lost his
18057s entire health bar to that Cannon shot
18059s and there's the Bane's breath coming
18060s down that's rough that's real real rough
18063s for KLA
18065s seriously uh
18068s seriously having a bit of a tough one to
18070s be honest I think it's probably the best
18071s way to learn it it's just been a bit of
18072s a toffee the tail end of this uh the
18075s tail end of this day for them
18078s yeah absolutely I give it to KLA though
18082s they're playing very very smart and
18085s strategic right they know where their
18087s positioning is in terms of the point
18089s order and they don't have to force
18092s fights yes they could come in and secure
18094s an even bigger lead given that there
18096s will be one day where they don't get to
18098s play uh with how the groups shake out
18101s right but they already have enough of a
18103s lead where realistically it's actually
18105s better for them to just eek out as many
18109s points as possible by playing safe
18111s rather than risking the biscuit they've
18113s already earned the fact that they don't
18116s have to risk things it's better to just
18119s go ahead and kind of slow roll it at
18120s that point compared to looking at a team
18123s like xcg who had to take risks in this
18126s game and they were able to get some big
18127s points on the board but unfortunately
18129s those risks stacked up and were able to
18132s come back and bite them eventually to
18134s the point where I think they're down to
18135s a single member left live unless they've
18137s been able to find that re birth term for
18140s their team and xcg needed to have a big
18142s pop-off game here in the sixth and final
18144s game
18147s yeah they really did but unfortunately
18149s at the moment not gonna be happening
18153s 25 players left though
18156s all right we're at the buccaneer phase
18157s it didn't feel like we've had a
18158s Buccaneer phase really today but this is
18161s definitely the buccaneer face the old
18162s pistols and cannons
18164s Splash damage each other down
18167s no no we trained the we traded the
18168s buccaneer phase for the worms Armageddon
18170s phase today yes oh we did have a
18172s Buccaneer face but it was the worms
18173s version it was Buccaneer face featuring
18176s pirate worms Oh God I'm gonna have to
18179s play some worms
18181s we're gonna we're gonna have to we're
18182s gonna have to stream that one of these
18183s days Jake I am so down to stream worms
18185s of you dude I'm so down Kayla here
18188s significant upgrades for themselves by
18191s the way here yeah with the legendary
18192s armor into this they were actually able
18194s to secure that Morris blessing amidst
18196s it's like every time we turn the camera
18198s away from KLA we were just talking about
18201s how I don't know they were gonna secure
18203s that when they have no ability or olds
18204s to cover the box and a Bane's breath
18207s comes down without looking over their
18208s face we turned back to KLA they have the
18211s box they have the legendary armor
18213s they've got the legendary flamer and
18215s it's just like really what's going on
18217s Cala every time we turn the camera away
18219s all of a sudden we find you in a better
18221s position than we left you in
18224s absolutely well okay they actually now
18226s starting to pick up some kills speaking
18228s of which they are definitely in a better
18229s position now taking names taking health
18232s bars
18233s absolutely beautiful stuff KLA get
18236s themselves up to six kills now and
18238s suddenly springboard themselves up the
18240s standings even further or at least in
18243s this game they're at the top of the
18244s standings as it is
18245s we're definitely growing the gap between
18247s them and xcg wider and wider right now
18251s okay
18253s fantastic turnaround in there last
18255s couple of moments he's still got five
18257s minutes left 19 players and 19 so just
18260s have a look at them there's quite a few
18262s people who are down players or the last
18265s man standing for their team so that
18267s number of amount of teams left may just
18270s drop off fairly quick I say that as OC
18273s are eliminating
18275s yeah and it's KLA picking up their
18276s seventh elimination of the game here
18278s this is what Kelly was trying to do last
18281s game they were playing a late game team
18283s comp and they wanted to just passively
18285s make it into the late game see if they
18287s could secure a couple of kills and just
18289s kind of eke out those points now they're
18292s playing an aggressive comp so into this
18294s late game here where there's so many
18295s players left alive it's very easy for
18297s them to slide in use this decada and
18300s look at this Takeda literally just used
18301s their old not but a couple of seconds
18304s ago and they're already back here that
18306s you're able to utilize their knowledge
18307s of where the fireflies are able to pick
18310s up those Soul Bloom Essences from the
18312s Cairns and get that ultimate back online
18314s very quickly and he uses it so
18317s aggressively we watched earlier as he
18319s was using it to hit stun players into
18322s hot swapping into the Flames breath to
18324s get the fire tick on them and then
18326s follow up with the long sword while the
18329s fire tick just continues to do free
18330s damage for the likes of KLA we're gonna
18333s see your jjh is a Godly here jjh another
18336s team has been putting in work in these
18337s last couple of games pick up wbg's
18340s Sleepwalker and get the elimination as
18342s if to say we don't care actually you
18344s know it's KLA ykc comes in and steals
18347s the elimination of jjh with the katana
18351s off the back of the slam on to
18353s Sleepwalker jjh not happy about that but
18356s kale hey going in jjh does find wbg's PP
18360s though and look at this qgg here just
18362s putting in work with the flamer
18364s unfortunately no old available tombs
18366s very quickly coming back though is it 53
18369s here gonna find time to find a repair
18371s sitting here in the straw like an
18374s absolute mad lad hiding in plain sight
18377s qgg just continues to barbecue the lobby
18380s here with this legendary flamer that has
18382s been able to get his hands on look at
18383s this just pushing in here on to jjh not
18386s a care in the world he's like I'll I'll
18388s front man for the team I don't care jjh
18390s does however pick up an elimination
18395s of you pushing into qgg here's the thing
18397s though is qgg doesn't have his ultimate
18400s as soon as we see another old come back
18402s out it's gonna be disastrous GG who's
18404s been having a very good game here
18406s unfortunately he finds 3 30 getting
18407s slammed but 330 gonna be able to find
18409s the monks transformation right into the
18411s middle of team at jjh
18414s oh my goodness no TK goes down at jjh
18420s I'm able to pick up another elimination
18422s but he needs to be careful with GG's 330
18424s waiting in the wings KLA holding on for
18427s dear life all three members still alive
18429s here eight eliminations in the boat AOW
18431s shoots hung picking up an elimination
18433s onto qgg qgg finally sticks his neck out
18437s too far and it's AOW who chops off his
18440s head Ping Tao goes in for the double
18443s grab but rain dies before the grab comes
18446s through so he doesn't get the bonus
18448s damage his team actually comes through
18450s and griefs the potential double kill
18453s from Ping Tao does fine another double
18457s grab though and picks up the elimination
18458s Audrey GG's miskia here trying to find
18461s the ground desperately on to 3 30 3 30
18463s just trying to Blitz through pinktows
18465s the HP bar here but we're gonna see the
18467s old come out from kurumi and AOW finding
18470s themselves in a massively advantageous
18473s situation is 3 30 comes up again with
18476s the monk coming down looking to maybe
18478s out root AOW picks up uh two members of
18483s AOW and gets a double slam for an
18485s elimination another double slam and this
18487s is why 330 is one of the best monks in
18490s the league double slam wait to double
18492s slam can he find another pick no he
18495s doesn't but Godly gonna take a ton of
18496s damage goes for the read grab finds the
18498s reasons gets another slam on to Godly
18502s Godly is gonna go down GG absolutely
18505s coming in here with huge elimination 17
18508s eliminations on the back of gg3
18511s performance here KLA picks up AOW shoot
18515s tongue and it's cxz versus two members
18518s of Team GG can he pull this off he's
18520s denied them the 20 bomb can he steal the
18523s win I doubt it looking for the counter
18525s Shields gone he's on to just raw Health
18528s he's zeping though so he's Immortal gets
18530s a count on the fruit Rio puts him into
18532s the Zone massive chunk of Damage Done to
18534s three for you CXC keeping himself
18536s sustained up here does jump into the
18538s Zone take a bit of damage but through
18539s for yo once again bopped back how is cxe
18542s holding he's looking for the counter
18543s once again can he find the opportunity
18545s all taken away to keep him healed up for
18547s the moment looking for the damage but no
18549s he's grappled he's tethered there's no
18551s way he can do this down he goes GG find
18555s the win
18557s oh my goodness this is what I wanted to
18560s see from the final game here tmgg 330.
18563s showing us why he's one of the best
18565s monks here in the league
18567s it also feels good not to cast a custom
18569s because I said in that game I was like
18572s man they've always been like a team
18573s who've been like solidly third I want to
18576s see more from them and they do step up I
18578s was worried I was going to curse him
18579s that game they played phenomenally well
18581s at the end of that and you were right
18583s three three oh he is just cracked up man
18586s he's so so good at it dude really really
18590s killer stuff coming in from these guys
18592s really really solid game coming in from
18594s GG and that is going to be their first
18596s win of the spring split here for 2023
18599s and
18601s another team who has got themselves a
18603s win it was almost a 20 bomb it was so
18605s close we always had 420 bombs today
18607s would have technically been fired if you
18609s count the one that was over 20. yeah
18612s that's how enough today was so many high
18614s scoring games
18615s today was absolutely insane I Gotta Give
18618s a Little Bit of a shout out here the KLA
18620s is cxz to be in that situation that high
18623s stress its final game of the day your
18625s 1v2 and almost pulls it off right
18630s absolutely just finding the Perry coming
18633s in of finding the slashes off of the
18636s long sword with the soul Jade there to
18638s knock them back creating the distance
18640s does finally get caught out
18641s unfortunately by that set of dual blades
18643s and by the time he's out of that he's
18645s able to throw the bubble but he's so low
18647s he just has nowhere to go he's got no
18649s gas left in the tank but CXC really
18652s pulling out all the stops there in the
18654s very end and does deny team GG the 20
18656s bomb
18657s yeah I mean if that's the big thing he
18659s did deny that 24 but like
18661s Klo okay sorry a team but I really got
18665s my eye on them I think these guys have
18666s caught my attention you know they are a
18668s new team to the league and they stepped
18670s up today they were consistently good
18672s their pop-off games were really pop off
18674s xdg definitely 18 to keep your eye on as
18677s well I think there was definitely some
18679s maybe just like burnout issues where I
18681s think they went very hard at the
18682s beginning of the day lost the game and
18684s then it seemed like they struggled to
18685s recover from that but let's be real
18687s these are guys are still technically
18689s defending their title here at the mbpl
18692s so don't write them off by any means
18694s they are still a solid team I just think
18696s you know they've had some time off they
18698s didn't win World they came in big then
18700s lost after that and I think maybe it
18701s scattered them a little bit so as we go
18704s across the next couple of weeks I expect
18705s to see xdg become more consistent uh I
18708s hope to see them become more consistent
18711s I think there's a few people you got to
18712s keep your eye on I think KLA obviously
18714s are a big one as a new team I think jjh
18716s honestly looking a lot looking a lot
18719s better from what we've seen previously I
18720s think there is definitely a DCI on
18722s another team that I think
18724s didn't do an amazing today but like they
18727s kept showing up with the odd really good
18728s moment it's about it I think Banner a
18731s team who would like just CR like they
18734s were just like the team that you would
18736s always see at the bottom like if you saw
18738s a battle to take a fight you knew that
18740s was just three points to whoever was
18741s fighting them like they were just
18742s guaranteed kills but like they feel like
18744s as a team but Skirmish and fight now
18747s they seem way more consistent they're
18749s still definitely stuff to work on for
18750s about that but I think they're a team to
18752s watch purely because there's definitely
18754s been a remarkable improvement from uh
18757s from our last season of omidio going
18759s into the spring season yeah absolutely I
18761s you know what's funny is I think valdost
18763s suffers the opposite issue of every
18765s other team in the league whereas every
18766s other team in this league has extremely
18769s good uh just Precision gameplay but not
18773s great decision-making typically has very
18775s good decision making but lacks a little
18778s in the Precision which is why they take
18780s good skirmishes and pick up eliminations
18782s and keep points on the board but don't
18784s come out on on top in all of those
18786s skirmishes but speaking about coming out
18788s on the top team GG with an 18
18790s elimination game he'll walk away with a
18793s 33.8 game score two off that is so sad
18797s for them KLA though still 17 points
18800s keeping themselves quite comfortably at
18801s the top of that table jjh 15 points as
18804s well so another good game from jjh get
18806s definitely a team to keep your eyes on
18808s him where are xcg currently an eight off
18810s the back of that one so not awful if
18813s they had just scored like this all day
18814s including their like two big pop-off
18816s games they'd probably be at the top of
18818s the tables but it unfortunately wasn't
18820s the case but oh my word 29k coming down
18823s from through Frio I have I'm gonna
18826s Hazard again that's probably gonna be
18827s rnvp coming out from this game yeah
18829s absolutely clean stuff and this was a i
18832s this fans breakfast beginning again the
18834s two the double kill base rep onto ewg
18836s that is going to be the saddest saddest
18839s face I think I need I needed I need to
18841s talk about this moment because that was
18843s actually ewts
18851s is boxed into a corner all three members
18855s of ewg are triggering stone form on that
18859s couple great sword he has in his hand
18861s they're trying to actually just kill him
18864s with kick damage before he can release
18866s the stone form because there's three of
18869s them dogging him down one of them
18871s accidents gives him an opportunity to
18874s release and the thing is is every single
18876s hit onto stoneform counts as a fully
18879s charged State for the great source so
18881s after the first three when he lets that
18884s stone form finally rip it's a horizontal
18886s stone form it's a three charge purple
18889s Greatsword to the face of the entire ewg
18893s team and he's able to pick up two
18895s eliminations would have got the third
18897s but the Bane's wrath actually hits him
18899s out of the rest of that spin that's
18903s something that keeps him from picking it
18905s up it was a massive moment I didn't want
18908s to go back and correct you in the moment
18909s because there's so many other things
18910s going on but just huge ewg the last
18915s remaining member of that team who are
18917s praying to the Stars when that Bane's
18919s breath came down and hit him but funnily
18921s enough he armors swaps into a white
18924s armor to give him enough armor to then
18926s pick up the third elimination on the ewg
18928s anyway and ewg just has to hunker away
18932s and whoever it was gave him the opening
18934s to let that stone form rip ewg is just
18938s like you know this is your fault right
18940s interesting uh lxm was MVP for that game
18943s not through for you uh I guess you give
18945s it to your support sometimes I mean he
18947s did I didn't see the healing numbers but
18949s it was probably pretty mad Assuming he's
18951s playing kurumi there really really big
18953s game coming in from GG that is I did not
18956s realize that was how that play went down
18957s I just it was flashing colors on my
18959s screen face press shooting down and my
18961s brain my brain just exploded with hype
18964s at the idea of like a Bass Pro killing
18965s too but
18966s so really really well played really good
18969s game
18970s I think
18972s let's talk a little bit before we get
18975s into like the rundown of everything I
18977s think actually when we look at um how
18979s season two went because remember the
18981s beginning of season two all the teams
18982s were
18984s struggling there was there were some
18985s teams who didn't look as good I think
18987s wbg was the big one like obviously won
18989s the first split and then
18992s kind of entered it going into the second
18994s split uh we had a whole bunch of like
18996s teams who fell apart during that during
18998s the season one and season two and it
19000s felt like oh it feels like the play had
19003s like the quality of the play and the
19005s players are kind of diminished between
19006s season one and season two coming to
19008s season three complete opposite I feel
19010s like everybody is playing Super good
19012s like teams UI previously have written
19014s off just look infinitely better and I
19016s think it's decision making I think the
19018s mechanical stuff looks better I think
19020s the honestly we're in for a really good
19021s season just off this Thursday I think
19023s we're in for an incredible season and I
19026s think honestly that we literally touched
19028s on this uh quite earlier is the fact
19030s that the teams didn't feel the need to
19033s completely rearrange the rosters yes
19037s no I completely agree I think that I
19039s think that very much comes down to it
19040s anyway I
19041s we have Jaeger standing by for an
19043s interview so we'll throw it over to her
19045s and see what she has to say with our
19046s players
19050s hi everyone this is Jager and welcome to
19052s post game interview and now I'm standing
19055s here with xiana from team xcg and let
19057s him say hello to our audience
19065s so because today is the new is the new
19068s season the first day for the Charles
19070s game and I would like to know how is it
19072s going for you and
19073s um for the whole match today which team
19076s you think is the best they have the
19078s performers
19095s [Music]
19097s um
19101s so actually for today I think at the
19103s beginning we are really aggressive but
19105s like for the rest of the game we are not
19108s so strong today and for the team I
19111s really I think they are really good is
19113s kala and Gigi both their two teams are
19116s very good today okay so let's move on to
19119s the next part and serve for Treasure
19122s okay so now we can see a question on the
19125s screen now this is
19135s okay so um we will if you know you guys
19139s know the answer just type it in the chat
19141s box and if after our player counting
19145s three two one and we will take a
19147s screenshot So the lucky guy from the
19150s screenshot will receive our whisper okay
19153s so today our question is which one is
19157s the new hero's name
19161s foreign
19186s I know this name for the new hero and I
19189s think it's very handsome and not only
19192s handsome because he is also very cool
19194s and I think he will very good at solo
19196s game okay
19201s okay so I think we were prepared and
19205s let's counting let's start it
19209s screenshot okay thank you thank you and
19213s let's talk about the correct answer now
19228s so the correct answer is
19231s because who
19232s and we are going to have the expansion
19235s match in Sunday and you can you guys can
19238s have the live show at that time so
19246s um At Last I would like to know because
19248s today we saw that you you said at the
19250s beginning of the game today like game
19252s one game two you guys are really strong
19254s so I would like to know what you think
19256s why you guys can won at game one game
19259s two nothing yeah
19271s foreign
19283s okay so I
19285s we can be very aggressive is because a
19287s lot of team just change their teammate
19290s but we still be together and I really
19292s have confidence in this season okay
19298s thank you for today's interview and we
19301s will get back to our casters
19303s inspect
19306s Jaeger thank you so much for yet another
19308s incredible interview there with xcg and
19311s I mean it's what a story for them today
19314s Jake in general you know they come back
19316s in and like you said trying to defend
19319s their domestic title right because they
19321s were the team that walked away the
19322s winners of nbpl season two uh they went
19325s on to Worlds they performed fairly
19327s decent worlds but obviously they didn't
19329s walk away the champion that's gonna be
19330s Jay team who defended their world
19332s championship title but coming in today
19335s they came in fairly confident like they
19337s said they kept the same team comp and
19339s this was something we were talking about
19340s earlier and uh just a couple minutes ago
19342s as well is the teams actually felt so
19345s much more confident coming into the
19347s season who hadn't changed their rosters
19349s around so much going into the beginning
19351s of season two we saw a ton of teams
19353s completely shift their roster and I mean
19355s it's to the point right now that the
19357s original J team at the beginning of
19359s season two was split into different
19361s teams the entire roster was on a
19364s different team and now coming back into
19365s this season it seems like they've
19367s figured out hey Comfort is better than
19370s just kind of changing players around as
19372s J team basically the original roster
19375s reformed a whole new team we didn't get
19377s to see them compete today but it seems
19379s to be the answer is comfort from any of
19381s these teams taking a look the overall
19382s leaderboards here unfortunately the king
19384s all the way at the bottom with
19386s 37.8 but like you said we've seen some
19388s teams not even put 25 points on the
19390s board in a single day yeah exactly like
19392s it's it's crazy how high scoring today
19395s was like I mean when lost plays at a 14
19398s point game and that's like considered in
19401s some of the games that was like second
19402s or third in points like that's how good
19404s this day was for points it was
19407s it was phenomenal really really high
19408s scoring day KLA are going to be at the
19410s top though pretty confidently as well
19412s good 40 points or almost 50 points
19414s actually over xcg in second and then
19417s jjhu honestly found their footing in the
19420s end of the day they really came alive in
19421s their tail end of the day and a 37 point
19423s game as well had that 15 point game like
19426s they had a really really solid showing
19428s and then GG uh criminally always third
19432s place team actually coming in fourth
19433s today at the end of it
19435s um you know I think there's some I think
19437s there was some kind of like getting used
19438s to everything again it's been it's been
19440s quite a while since they've played in
19441s the studio for some of these teams and
19443s some of these players and for some
19444s people with their first time
19446s um so it's it's interesting to see you
19449s know how this is going to kind of settle
19451s I think this bi-weekly by the end of the
19453s bi-weekly when we're into the finals I
19455s feel like the oh we're fresh back isn't
19458s going to be an excuse anymore like I
19459s feel like you can have the this these
19461s like two weeks to get yourself set up
19463s and prepared and then after that it's
19466s very much a matter of uh getting it
19468s getting back into it and being on the
19470s fly but this is coming over tomorrow be
19472s going back to the solos if we go to
19473s Morris isle at the beginning of the day
19475s and holler off same same as normal same
19478s as normal Morris Morris holler off
19479s Morris to close it out uh but make sure
19481s you do join us for that one that is the
19482s solos from the sounds of things solos
19484s have been kind of bangers as well I
19487s think honestly spring season is off to a
19490s absolutely rocking start we got some
19492s really really good games coming up oh
19494s yeah absolutely and tomorrow you
19496s definitely do not want to miss it's
19497s groups A and C going head to head and
19500s two players to keep in mind in group C
19503s are gonna be wbg spider and the return
19505s of aow's Mike these are two players who
19509s got to clash at the very beginning of
19511s the season and everybody thought this
19513s was going to be the two players going
19516s Head to Head Toe to Toe and
19518s unfortunately Mike had to take a little
19520s Hiatus from the season he's back now and
19523s he's got a full season ahead of him to
19525s go head to head with wbg spider and
19527s spider might be king of the world right
19529s now but aow's mic is very quickly
19532s looking to Dethrone him so it's going to
19534s be some intense battles coming in
19536s tomorrow for our first six games with
19539s both of these players back and man what
19542s a group group seek can you imagine being
19544s a solo player in group C with both Mike
19546s and spider you just gotta kind of be
19548s lamenting your day just a little bit and
19550s again guys ladies and gentlemen the new

19597s much I want to see what this dude's kit
19599s gets I mean keep in mind Z thing also
19601s changed Solo's meta really big like the
19604s last few Heroes will be very impactful
19605s in the state of the game
19609s there but uh they they were saying he
19612s actually looks like he will shake up
19613s solos that was his prediction going into
19615s it and I know he's a tree is player but
19617s like he has a I think he's qualified in
19619s a way to talk about solos but yeah so it
19622s does it does look like uh we are gonna
19625s have we are gonna have you know another
19627s meta shake up which I've always thought
19629s I I very much for things not growing
19631s stale I like it when things change uh I
19633s like what pharah has done to The Meta I
19635s also don't like because she's kind of
19637s just bossed up monk more I was hoping
19639s she was going to be the hard counter to
19640s monk but you know
19642s this is the world related I guess but
19643s yeah I I I'm excited to see what what
19646s he's gonna do and obviously make sure
19648s they joined room to late later uh this
19650s evening to see what he plays uh how how
19652s he plays but also do you join us for
