2524s for you guys so be
2532s [Music]
2541s [Applause]
2545s prepared
2547s [Applause]
2554s welcome back to beautiful Shanghai
2556s ladies and gentlemen that's right we are
2558s live here in Shanghai to bring you the
2561s jcup pref finals I'm going to be hosting
2563s your Cas here today for your first three
2565s games the run keeper and joining me is
2567s the lovely Duncan Duncan it's been a
2568s pleasure to get to meet you in person
2570s and work with you here behind the desk
2573s but we are getting ready to head into
2576s the first day of pre-finals like I said
2579s but before we talk about pre-finals
2582s coming up of course we should recap
2584s everything that's happened in the group
2585s stages because it has been an absolutely
2588s wild ride from start to finish we came
2590s into day one of the solos group stages
2592s and wbg spider takes not one not two not
2595s three but four backto back MVPs from
2598s game number two all the way to game
2600s number five absolutely dominating
2602s performance coming in from him and we
2603s said there's no way coming into day two
2605s anybody can have Repeat Performance and
2608s uh yet again these players continue to
2609s prove as wrong Duncan as we see the
2612s lovely J team's action come in and do
2615s the same thing on his day he takes three
2617s MVPs almost four you can take a look at
2619s that score right there a 42.4 but A's
2623s Mike also has an incredible day two on
2626s that day one for uh action and he walks
2629s away with a
2630s 42.8 indeed Mike he is uh he was he was
2634s a little bit let down with his first
2636s days performance I feel like and he came
2638s in on his second day did very very well
2641s not as well as Spider did on his first
2644s day he had some competition you know you
2646s had those two players were neck and neck
2649s they were
2650s only4 points separate so Mike he's
2654s coming in with vengeance I think he's uh
2656s he's not going to go down quietly ladies
2658s and gentlemen you know Mike we's anuga
2661s he loves to get uh get in there and uh
2663s and get spicy well speaking of not going
2665s down quietly you've got remember as well
2667s these points are nice for them they
2669s qualified from the group stages here but
2670s they're going to be taking zero of those
2671s points on with them so the scoreboard
2673s doesn't really matter anymore they get
2676s they they got a couple little bragon
2677s rights there but bragon rights are not
2679s walking away with the trophy what's
2681s going to be important today are today's
2683s games though because they will get to
2685s keep 50% of the points that they earn
2688s during their six games today to take
2690s with them to Chang duu where the grand
2691s finals will go down so these games are
2694s going to count for quite a lot if you're
2696s able to to build a cushion up for
2697s yourself heading into jangu that's going
2699s to be a very nice position to be in
2702s Duncan and you know it's such a crazy
2706s crazy meta right now there's a lot to
2708s talk about including the new hero that's
2711s coming through we have to talk about
2713s hotti of course CN the boys kind of
2715s discredit him a little bit the na boys
2718s came over some of the EU boys and even
2720s some of the sca boys came in and during
2723s their scrims completely changed cen's
2725s mind on hottie as a hero in solos and
2728s now he's probably one of the most picked
2729s Heroes here in our solos you take a look
2732s at some of his abilities here he quite
2733s literally can take a flight ladies and
2735s gentlemen and I'll tell you what the sky
2737s dog himself you need a very big FES
2740s water for hottie oh absolutely he can
2743s come in with these gold Focus triple
2746s charges and just absolutely obliterate
2749s your health bar but here we are with a
2752s little bit of a comparison between this
2755s year's group stages and last year's so
2759s here you can definitely see that hardi
2761s has probably been the most picked up
2763s character at the moment and he's sitting
2765s at top the the little stats leaderboard
2768s as well in terms of MVP count average
2771s damage and average kills not in pick
2775s rate as tar G last year was picked up a
2778s little bit more than Hadi has been this
2781s year we still have we have fer and
2783s zipping still being extremely popular F
2787s having also received some Buffs lately
2788s it is it is very expected but yeah
2792s rather a big contrast last year we had
2794s tker running the show after he'd
2796s received that buff to his ultimate
2798s allowing him to punch more often send
2802s out that elbow it cost it costed less
2805s stamina and he had a pretty long Al
2808s duration but since then he has been
2810s reduced in
2812s power and hasn't seen all that much play
2814s I think we've only seen a little bit of
2816s a little bit of fire dog from Panda man
2819s you know he's been bringing out in his
2821s final games of each Series in the game
2823s sixes and he's been doing pretty well
2826s you know he's struggled a little bit at
2828s times he's picked up a few kills early
2831s but then depending on what the rest of
2832s the lobby is running it's rather
2835s difficult for him to make a lot happen
2837s in the first day he struggled to
2839s transition his early kills into the late
2843s game because all of these other players
2846s they were all playing her fighting
2848s characters and staying in the cities
2850s which taka frankly cannot do but here's
2852s another thing that I'm sure you all very
2855s well aware of at this point the fan our
2857s most recently added weapon into nraa has
2862s been making a big splash on the world
2866s stage on the J cup stage as it just has
2869s so much pressure it does so much damage
2872s and as we've been talking about quite a
2874s lot it's vertical blue Focus is able to
2877s come out so unbelievably quickly that
2880s the N is just it's instant it's a flash
2884s it's so unbelievably difficult to to
2887s counter to Parry or at the very least
2888s Dodge you know this is something we
2890s talking about again that charge darn
2891s coming in off the fan not only does it
2893s do so much damage it comes out so fast
2897s it is one of the most difficult moves in
2899s the game to Parry as well you can't use
2901s jump Parry against it which has been the
2904s most consistent Parry for a very long
2905s time time you now are either forced to
2908s tap Dodge Parry that shift Parry or use
2910s Crouch Parry against it and it's very
2912s very inconsistent when it comes to being
2914s able to Parry it so a lot of pressure
2917s coming in from the fan as you can see
2919s here from the group stage stats from
2921s 2020 on the other side of the screen
2923s there and at 2023 here fan coming in
2926s with a kill ratio of
2928s 25% even more over the dagger very
2931s slightly less damage overall from the
2933s dagger you take a look staff down below
2935s being compared against the njs as well
2937s and you know staff here with only an
2939s average damage of 12,000 but something
2941s very very important to note here is this
2943s staff is typically used to find control
2946s of that neutral you have those Dodge
2948s baits that you're able to do and once
2950s you're able to bait that out you can
2952s land that uppercut you can go into the
2954s weapon swap into something like a pole
2956s sword or a great swword and just do a
2958s ton of damage and this is the thing we
2960s see crazy combos all the time we see
2962s players practicing Heaven step is
2964s probably the one you guys home watching
2967s know best but the reason you typically
2969s don't see it so often in Pro play is in
2971s Pro play you have to be optimal and you
2974s have to do as much damage as fast as
2977s possible and that's why weapon swap has
2979s been around and will continue to stick
2981s around in the meta probably for a long
2983s time indeed no you're absolutely right
2985s in this current environment with these
2988s insanely good players they're not going
2990s to give you an inch they're not going to
2992s give you a millimeter a centimeter
2994s nothing they don't want to give you you
2996s anything but if you do manage to create
2998s an opening for yourself you're going to
3000s want to capitalize that as on that as
3003s much as you can and weapon swap is a
3005s great way to do it you're going to do a
3007s a crazy amount of damage with that swap
3011s especially if you manage to find
3012s yourself a gold pole sword or great
3015s sword out of that realm of Yang so it
3018s does a lot speaking of uh some very cold
3021s combos we have a quick video from frost
3024s ofers here with some of his highlights
3027s woo the man himself self yeah the hope
3030s of Na coming in here we're talking about
3032s a multi- regional Champion here who you
3035s know played a ton in na moved over to
3038s Indonesia took the championship there
3041s moved back to North America and then
3042s came here to took the championship and
3044s it's his first time here in the J cup
3047s and he's making it happen here take a
3049s look here of course these plays backs
3051s going against A's Mike and I do believe
3053s the one right after this we're going to
3054s see wbg as well really he's coming
3058s here against the best of the best in the
3061s nbpl that we have seen to date and he
3064s has proven time and time again that he
3066s can come out on top of these players he
3069s does not care what region you're from he
3071s doesn't care if you're the best from
3072s your region he is here to prove that he
3074s is the best in the world Duncan
3076s absolutely and here we are with that
3078s clip you were just talking about his
3080s realm of Yang fight with spider it did
3084s get equalized quite a bit but then Frost
3086s of is instantly into the Crouch cancel
3090s Dash from the Justina the gold fan doing
3094s so much damage obliterating his health
3096s bar spider takes to the skies but
3098s unfortunately he gets peppered down by
3101s those pistol shots here we are with
3104s frost ofus in celestra scrapping it out
3107s with the herd the herd of Fighters
3110s desperately trying to find a soul Bloom
3113s from the Yang depletion trying to pick
3115s something up
3116s hunting down Wang leang he's not letting
3119s him go he's continuing to Chase he does
3122s have a bounty it seems as well so hey he
3125s drops down comes in with a boom that
3127s stuff doing loads of damage Wang leang
3130s he's getting a bit desperate he needs to
3132s get away Frost ofus Pops that ultimate
3135s to respond and here Frost ofus
3137s demonstrates such such beautiful flight
3141s mechanics with Hadi just coming in oh
3144s yeah you know this is something I want
3145s to about with frost as well here he is a
3148s master at baiting out abilities here we
3151s go you see here he's actually going to
3152s bait the elbow out of pandaman here
3155s while he's on hottie that is Panda man's
3157s only out while playing Tara into hottie
3160s in this flight mode and what does frost
3162s ofis do he stutters steps on those
3165s charged left clicks to bait out pandaan
3168s to get it to throw out we see in the
3170s previous fight as well when he's playing
3171s Justina into wbg spider what does he do
3174s he kind of stutter holds the that R&B to
3176s make spider think oh I'm safe I can have
3179s a second to move away here I don't have
3180s to worry about the dash and then as soon
3182s as he thinks he's safe he cancels the
3183s animation boomy hits him with a dash he
3185s lands the freeze and that's all she
3187s wrote and this is something frostivus is
3189s very good about he knows how to get in
3192s his opponent's head speaking of other
3194s things that Frost is very good at he's
3196s very very good at picking up parry's 26
3199s parries during the solo group stages
3201s that's 26 paries in 12 games that is
3204s more than two paries per game that is an
3206s astronomical number and it ties wbg
3210s spider for the number of most paries in
3213s the group stage solos which is
3216s absolutely insane I mean you said it you
3220s know it's extremely impressive that he's
3222s able to put up those kind of numbers
3225s just like WWE spider our you know our
3228s last year's
3229s Champion well you know if we're going to
3231s talk about spider we might as well talk
3233s about spider WG coming in absolutely
3237s insane again back to back day one four
3240s MVPs take a look at the stats there it
3243s is look at this five MVP during the
3245s group stages that's almost half of his
3247s games he walks away with MVP you can
3249s take a look at his signature Heroes here
3251s hottie uh lovely zipping and taada no
3255s real surprises there given the fact that
3258s he was one of those players that had
3259s been counting hottie out he saw how well
3261s some of the other players were doing and
3262s him and tryhard had a little uh get
3264s together where
3266s was showing him some hottie tricks so
3268s spider very quickly picking up how
3270s aggressive hottie was going to be in the
3272s meta for him there but no surprise to
3274s see zipping sitting in the second
3276s position there zipping still very good
3278s in the meta and zipping was the hero
3279s that wbg spider came in and had his
3282s massive massive debut on during the
3284s summer split not this year but the
3286s previous year where he was able to break
3289s the record for most eliminations in
3291s solos but ladies and gentlemen speaking
3293s of breaking records we've got to break
3294s away for a minute before we come right

3522s solos forever I will love nraa forever
3525s but hey we're going to be going into
3528s some games rather shortly but first here
3531s is the the predictions for our first

3546s which is which of the following two
3548s players will achieve the highest score
3550s in this match I'm telling you right now
3551s put my money on Mike Mike is not going
3554s to sit back don't get me wrong he
3556s qualified he did pretty good in his
3558s qualifiers right but these points count
3560s these carry over towards heading to
3562s changdu for Grand finals if your aows
3564s Mike you are not going to let the
3566s disrespect that happened on day one from
3568s wbg spider repeat itself my money's on
3571s Mike hey I mean Mike he's definitely not
3574s going to want to go down with the fight
3576s today and get as many points as he
3578s possibly can but I I reckon spider is
3581s going to be coming in with a he's uh he
3584s doesn't want to he doesn't want to do
3586s the same either he wants to he wants to
3588s get in there oh he wants to get those
3590s dubs you know I would I would imagine
3591s that he'd he's he's planning to do it as
3595s best as he can as I'm sure all of these
3597s players are but hey spider's best we've
3600s seen what he can do he pulls out the
3603s backto back MVPs and I definitely am
3606s looking forward to seeing that if he
3608s manages to pull it off yet again but
3610s here we are all of the players that
3612s we're going to be playing today and in
3614s changu we have spider Mike Ean Akuma
3616s Frost of sha wangang pandan unique
3619s zeling T225 and Chu Zen all of the oers
3624s they're getting ready they're on stage
3626s they're sat in their chest nice and
3628s comfy take a little sip need a little
3631s sip of water you know a little sip of
3632s Red Bull perh whatever it might be you
3634s know any energy drinks hey they're ready
3637s to go and they are they're getting
3639s they're getting logged in they're
3641s getting locked in and I I'm I'm I'm I'm
3644s not going to be very surprised if we see
3647s a similar kind of character pick for our
3651s first three games oh yeah no absolutely
3653s again the new format we've got the phase
3655s selection it's three daytime maps on
3659s Hollow Roth we know where people like to
3661s go our first phase likely going to be
3664s three to four zings across the board
3667s here there's no fireflies so these guys
3669s are going to be saving those hotti pigs
3670s for later into the day if at all
3672s possible for those Firefly maps of
3674s course also Zing being very very popular
3677s on the hollow Roth map as well there's
3679s so much space and terrain for her to
3681s utilize a movement Tech to just get away
3683s and she's already one of the hardest
3685s characters to pin down so I like you
3688s said I don't think we're going to see
3689s too many surprises in terms of that
3692s because a lot of these players are going
3694s to be looking to go okay hey these three
3696s Hollow Roth games let's go in let's get
3698s as many kills as we can on the board but
3699s let's also remember that these aren't
3702s the games we have to really worry about
3704s players popping off super hard early
3706s game because there's no fireflies
3708s available for these guys there's going
3709s to be a couple little places they can go
3711s to try to get some old charge back they
3713s can go up to uan ruins they can look for
3715s that Firefly cage uh deep inside the
3717s ruins there and a couple of other places
3719s but for the most part these guys are
3721s going to be coming in and playing for
3723s survivability these first three games
3725s yeah no absolutely in those we've seen
3727s it quite a few times now the end game's
3730s getting reasonably stacked up you know
3734s quite a few players lurking Still Still
3737s Alive all the way at the end having not
3739s been taken down all that early and Mike
3742s he's he's logged in Panda man the death
3746s emotionless my guys ready they're all
3749s ready they've all got the they're all
3750s just like thumbs up yeah thumbs up boy
3753s but they're really thinking how am I
3755s going to demolish the rest of the lobby
3758s as soon as we get into the game and
3761s speaking of we are about to be going in
3763s ladies and gentlemen to our very first
3767s game of pre finals 2023 J cup we got a
3772s little bit of little bit of spider
3774s little his a oh his average kills 4.5 I
3778s think that was that is a pretty solid
3781s average to have you know that's average
3784s ladies and gentlemen that is uho pretty
3787s pretty good average points on his hardi
3792s 13.3 an insane number coming in from wbg
3796s spider here and again yeah I I don't
3799s think we can talk enough about the fact
3800s that Cen as a region completely counted
3803s hotti out of the meta
3806s these up
3808s to right so could you imagine if these
3811s guys had just sat off of hottie even
3813s after scrims and said no it's not going
3815s to be that good things could have
3816s drastically played out differently so
3819s it's not just these CN players these
3821s regular nvpl players defining the meta
3823s it realistically is players from every
3826s single region coming in trying
3828s everything out who are coming in and
3830s defining this meta and it is a meta that
3832s is constantly shifting Duncan I expect
3835s to see when we head over to Chung de
3838s some of these players pull some things
3839s out of the back pocket we're not
3841s expecting no I certainly hope so but
3845s we're going to have to wait and see it
3846s does look as though Mike might have had
3848s a haircut you know he's he's he's
3851s chopped off the the the little bits of
3853s the back you know on the sides he's he's
3856s getting streamlined he's he's ready you
3859s know he knows his head is going to be
3862s heated up with all the all the Raa
3865s gaming he's about to do he is fully
3867s focused he's got the glasses on he is
3870s ready and he's locked in I really hope
3873s we see something spicy from Mike because
3875s Mike hey he's coming in this year he
3879s wants he wants that title he wants to
3881s take it from spider oh absolutely again
3884s this is this is going to be the
3885s penultimate thing right we talk about
3887s wbg spider we talk about A's Mike
3889s there's been a question lingering over
3892s the nbpl there's been a question
3894s lingering over wbg spider head which was
3897s did Spider take the championship only
3900s because A's Mike was not here to compete
3905s this will finally put an end to those
3908s questions one way or the other we will
3911s find out who comes out on top or maybe
3915s we'll be uh very very surprised it'll be
3917s somebody else entirely who walks away
3920s with the championship this year indeed
3922s we have plenty of heavy hitters here
3925s today Akuma being one of them you know
3928s he always Creeps in he's always playing
3931s consistently well he's always getting up
3933s there he's not the he's not the Super
3936s flashy player at times but he he can be
3940s yeah I was say here's the thing drg this
3942s year man we we've sat down in the hotel
3945s rooms we've had some analysis between us
3947s as casters and we've been talking about
3949s drg and drg has been playing the long
3953s con all year both in solos and trios
3956s this is a team that came in and
3958s everything they did was absolutely
3960s unexpected they did crazy strats they
3963s were buying Banes early they were trying
3965s to shift the meta so that they could
3966s counter bu Banes away from other players
3968s and then it run out and buy soul Jades
3971s of Destinies and go yall can have those
3973s early Banes it's cool we're going to
3974s spend our money elsewhere um they really
3977s especially drg zaka here in solos have
3980s just done absolutely crazy everything
3982s from dropping legendary weapons out in
3985s the open and saying y'all can take your
3986s pick I don't care I'm going to run the
3988s dagger those sort of strats have
3990s completely left everybody confused as
3992s now coming into the group stages they
3994s played for consistency nothing but
3997s straight consistency so nobody knows
3999s what to expect out of drg's Akuma and
4002s that's exactly what they want here we go
4005s ladies and gentlemen here are going to
4006s be your phase one phase two and phase
4009s three pick so starting out is going to
4011s be J team's action and we're going to
4014s see who the other three players are
4015s going to be in just a second taking a
4017s look the the split cam between A's Mike
4020s and El's Frost ofis Frost ofis looks so
4024s comfortable man he just looks like he's
4026s in his element big chilling he's like
4028s it's just another day in nraa man I'm
4030s here to play games and have fun taking a
4032s look at J team's Action Now action
4035s looking absolutely locked in this man
4037s had a crazyy day one and here's our
4040s first round selects no surprises here at
4043s all we said to four zipping zipping
4046s going to be banned out here from the
4048s rest of the lobby triple fa is coming
4050s through no surprises at all here in phe
4052s 2 yet but drg zaka still has a selection
4056s to make and will we see the wild card or
4059s is Akuma still just playing for
4062s consistency here in the prease we are
4065s going to see teada nothing too crazy
4067s here we've got one phase left Faria and
4070s zipping both banned out zeldin yet again
4074s bringing the crazy picks in is going to
4076s be playing Z interesting zeling on that
4080s zy pick he definitely he definitely did
4083s reasonably well with it on the most
4085s recent day he took down quite a few
4088s Heavy Hitters early on with that Z
4091s including spider himself taking him down
4094s in the 1 V one so we're going to have to
4096s see how well he can perform again today
4099s we have 5 to1 unique and chuang both on
4103s the a cost pick and then we have Hardy
4108s as well coming in the lone Hardy of the
4111s lobby he's going to be standing out it
4113s might be rather difficult for him to
4114s make something happen but hey if
4117s anyone's going to make it happen is one
4119s of these guys oh yeah I mean GG Shaw
4122s this is a very interesting pick I did
4123s not expect to see Hottie game one
4126s whatsoever and now we're seeing GG Sha
4129s of all people locking in again like you
4131s said if somebody's going to be able to
4132s make it work GG Sha definitely is that
4135s person so he just needs to be careful
4138s not to get targeted out and hunted down
4140s here because like you said he is the
4141s lone hotti it is going to be very easy
4144s to keep track of him in terms of wait is
4146s that my hotti I'm hunting down because
4148s there's only one in the lobby as we get
4150s ready to lock in ladies and gentlemen we
4153s will get a brief second here to take a
4155s look at what abilities and ultimates
4158s these players are going to be locking
4159s and see if there's any curveballs being
4161s thrown at us before we get ready to lock
4163s in but right now it looks like standard
4166s Fair across the board nothing too crazy
4168s sticking out to me zelink again running
4171s that Z will be running the V2 F1 pretty
4175s standard across the board here what do
4177s you see it was a my I I I thought it was
4180s double acos but it was it was actually
4182s an A teada and an acos being picked up
4187s in the final stage pick there we have
4189s chuing and Akuma both on the teada so
4192s two teas one hudie and then one acos and
4198s also one Z the rest of the lobby is
4200s filled up with fers and zipping and you
4203s know what they love to do the fers and
4206s the zipping they love to fight together
4209s the herd the herd of zipping and faers
4212s lurking around those big verticality
4216s areas like your plume castle and metab
4219s just going in and out ready to go they
4222s have that Mobility they have that sell
4224s peel and uh hey they're able to stay on
4227s the move and they're very hard to take
4228s down especially as you were saying if
4231s they can blend into the rest of them
4234s absolutely it looks like zel and a drg
4237s zakumi here are going to contest Podium
4241s together here this is something we very
4243s rarely see here typically we only see
4245s one player go down that way but they
4247s want to take the contest as we take a
4250s look we're going to start things off
4251s with J team's action and wbg spider who
4254s drop right on top of each other spider
4256s unfortunately haven't been able to find
4257s a set of armor yet Mike in a similar
4259s situation here with T225 but T225 also
4261s with no armor no HP here T25 trying to
4264s find an armor to swap into went to set
4266s up the scale rush but doesn't find it
4268s Mike finds the RMB from the aerial
4270s position and is able to pick up his
4272s first elimination of this Lobby so Mike
4275s going to be sliding into first place
4277s xg's wangan coming up from behind but
4278s Mike finds a white armor a huge Parry
4281s though from wangang he misses the follow
4283s up though there off of the horizontal so
4285s he doesn't find as much damage as he
4286s possibly could there he had the soul
4288s Bloom tucked away M but the repair from
4292s wangang and wangang going to go into the
4294s long sword here wangang it typically
4296s does enjoy a little of the long sword
4298s here but Mike hitting him with the mix
4300s up there on the dual blades now wangang
4303s though able to find the elimination oh
4307s so unfortunate and wangle yang is going
4308s to leave the soul Bloom behind he's
4311s looking to head to that realm of Yang as
4312s we cut over here to Frost ofis going
4315s head to-head with jdg chuang indeed
4318s Frost ofis with a little bit of an
4320s advantage here in terms of effective
4322s Health but that has been very quickly
4325s equalized between the two of them Chu
4327s Zang actually a little bit healthier
4330s than Frost of us but Frost of us he does
4331s that have that F1 to keep him relatively
4334s healthy it's going to be coming off cool
4335s down very soon he's going to have to try
4338s and maximize the value here but he
4340s doesn't manage to get it out GG Shar
4342s coming in with that bow shot
4344s and the jump Parry there onto chuen
4347s swapping into that blue Focus as well
4350s picking up that purple dagger he's on
4352s the chase Chang he has the time to get
4355s one heal off and turns his turns his
4358s back onto GG sha gets the pick up he's
4361s gone for the ultimate conversion
4363s unfortunately he does waste that one
4366s furing Blast from the tea onto sha into
4369s that F2 but it looks as though he's
4371s going to be able to close out this kill
4372s as long as he can keep on top of GG sha
4376s G manages to get that jump onto the wall
4378s but The Buttery rocks preventing him
4380s from getting that second scale rush to
4383s safety but it looks as though chuang may
4385s have made a little bit of a mistake but
4386s so has Sha Sha takes his turn back he
4389s goes for the F2 he's going airborne he's
4391s trying to put some distance between
4392s himself and the tocada he's barely got a
4396s little bit longer left on his old timer
4398s but it's not going to be enough time he
4401s cannot buy that time unfortunately and
4404s he does get taken down by Chen oh no oh
4408s my g g sha very aggressive he's coming
4412s in he's he is not happy with that with
4415s that result he's coming in he knows he
4418s has ultimate available he knows that
4419s choang doesn't have his old up so he's
4422s going to try and take full advantage of
4424s this but he doesn't have very much to
4426s work with in terms of damage and there
4428s it is he gets cooked on the turnaround
4431s and Chen picking up another kill G GG
4434s Shaw little bit
4437s aggressive yeah I mean the the salty run
4440s back there G Shaw trying to come back in
4442s with the ultimate he miss times the read
4445s not once not twice but three times and
4447s we see CH Jang find Value out of it
4449s every single time drg's Akuma here now
4452s trading blows inside Bloom castle with
4453s ug's pandan pandan oh tries to go in for
4456s the blue but we see the conversion off
4459s of the F3 ladies and gentlemen there
4461s from Akuma and Akuma just puts the break
4464s down onto pandan the furin invested he
4466s will find a ton of value out of that R&B
4468s and pandan just needs to try to stay
4470s alive now the uppercut actually connects
4472s to pandaan pandaman will get to the
4474s bubble at the very least needs to go up
4476s looking for the scale Rush is able to
4478s find one is able to find two now Akuma
4480s trying to come in pandaan setting up the
4482s scale Rush yet again and I think pandaan
4484s might have broken the ankles of drg Zuma
4487s as we move cross side here to zeling
4489s with the legendary weapon legendary Z
4492s Ultimate here spider is going to get
4495s into the pillar here going to go for the
4497s cannon form potentially and zel just
4498s going to back away no spider wants to
4501s keep the pressure up here zel going to
4502s be holding on to that ultimate for a hot
4504s minute hasn't been given the opportunity
4505s to find the pot though spider will find
4508s most of a full reset here and
4510s unfortunately for zel that ultimate is
4512s going to come to an end zel though still
4514s in a very strong situation now knowing
4516s that spider does not have the pillar to
4518s fall back onto a massive Parry there the
4520s legendary Katana come out the F being
4523s invested by wbg spider spider with
4525s nothing in the tank now zel knows he's
4527s got such a strong Advantage into this
4530s fight here so much damage coming out
4532s onto spider spider holding though with
4534s the RMB there on the P sword the overh
4536s hold gets so much damage but zel makes
4539s it happen and zel two games running here
4542s on the Z wins the 1 V one into wbg
4545s spider zel think he's got a pretty tasty
4550s line cooking up with this zyck he's
4553s opting to to go for that Podium at the
4555s beginning of each game secure himself
4557s that legendary weapon so that he can
4560s take full advantage of his ultimate
4563s scale up that ultimate damage as fast as
4566s he possibly can and just try to use it
4570s as as as early as possible in the game
4573s so that he can I mean early on in the
4575s game when you're sitting on Blue maybe
4577s purple armor and not all that much in
4579s terms of Jades and
4581s resistances it's really hard to deal
4584s with a Zai who's doing Bonkers damage
4586s cuz they have a gold weapon in an
4588s immortal War Lobby no less it's crazy
4591s how much damage you can put out and with
4594s these Open Spaces it can be very hard to
4597s maneuver around and try and negate the
4600s pressure from the ultimate and zelden
4602s he's been putting in work he's been
4603s doing very well with it and also those
4606s paries were pretty pretty tasty from
4608s zeld he was reading spider's releases
4610s quite often and spider just he was he
4614s almost turned it around he almost
4615s equalized it completely but having that
4617s pole sword he just he wasn't able to uh
4621s to finish him off there wasn't able to
4622s do so but it looks as though spider he's
4625s gone away resed himself and found an
4628s elimination in the zone leaving that
4631s Soul Bloom there it looks as though he's
4632s going to be going into the realm of Yang
4634s no surprises here you leave yourself a
4636s soul Bloom you leave yourself that
4638s Safety Net in case things go AR and you
4641s can risk it and get yourself that purple
4644s armor and gold weapon but here we are
4646s the rematch this is so unfortunate for
4649s wbg spider he's all whites right now he
4651s does take a risk here going in on whites
4653s just hoping that if he wins he gets
4655s purple if he doesn't he's got the soul
4657s Bloom to fall back on to but literally
4659s the worst possible opponent for him to
4662s come into here inside the realm of Yang
4664s being zel who's on that gold weapon
4666s who's on that zick spider going to have
4668s a hard time here coming out on top he's
4670s able to find that but he can't find the
4671s reconversion there cuz the f is invested
4674s on the side of zel zel looking to go for
4676s the overh hold there trying to get some
4678s damage out needs to be careful spider
4680s there we go the Canon mode going to come
4681s out zel just trying to break away from
4683s it is able to dodge one is able to dodge
4684s two the third one as well being invested
4687s on the F the chains come out oh my
4689s goodness wbg spider getting cooked up by
4692s zel in the kitchen here on the zig Z
4695s look at these moves coming out Duncan
4698s the reads are insane on zel oh my
4702s goodness so much damage coming out from
4704s those chains as well we're going to see
4706s finally a cannon shot invested there
4708s where he can't Dodge but spider still
4710s hugely on the back but he just needs the
4712s Parry oh my goodness the wbg spider
4715s loses not once but twice to zel zel oh
4720s my goodness he has been on the ball here
4723s those Dodges were very very nice with
4726s that gold Katana in the pocket it's just
4729s one one decent opening when spider
4732s doesn't have his combo break can just
4734s that can just mean death gold Katana
4737s into white armor it is a very very
4741s difficult fight to have as Spider in
4743s this situation although he did do a very
4746s decent job he took him down relatively
4748s low he did manage to find the damage
4750s from his ultimate at the very end even
4752s with that white staff having his
4755s ultimate Scale based off of the weapon
4757s Rarity not having all that much damage
4758s but still taking off that armor still a
4760s good showing from spider but
4762s unfortunately he he wasn't able to deal
4765s with zel in this situation but heading
4767s on over to plume Castle another player
4771s that I would love to I love to talk
4773s about Wang leang Mr Astro brain himself
4777s the big brain macro gamer he's uhy he's
4781s he's he's chilling he's got two kills
4782s for himself he's got uh he's got that
4785s purple armor he's got that gold weapon
4787s in the back pocket I assume look at the
4790s scoreboard here we have chuen currently
4792s sitting at the top we haven't seen too
4795s well we saw a little bit earlier on but
4797s he's managed to pick up another
4798s kill quite a few kills on the board
4801s actually yeah absolutely a few more than
4803s I expected him and zel both sitting at
4806s three eliminations each zel's going to
4808s find a purple arm there we're going to
4809s cut back to the inside of the realm of
4810s Yang to Wang langang versus T225 here
4813s and man I love Wang langang he's such a
4815s good player can he get it out first here
4817s oh he was going to go for the cannon
4818s shot there we go tt25 not a whole lot he
4821s can realistically do here and now they
4823s just trade guns and Wang Lang's going to
4825s wait for tt5 to come in here needs to go
4827s Airborne but instead just decides to
4830s keep the pressure up oh my goodness I
4833s really love wangang I miss his Demon
4835s Days back when he was playing teada with
4838s nunchucks all the time dude the man is
4841s absolutely one of those players I will
4843s never count out because he comes in and
4846s is an absolute danger to society
4850s sometimes see take a look here drg's a
4853s Kuma on the backside here some purple
4854s armor holding on to the fan no surprises
4856s here zel giving Chase though here zel
4859s has 44 seconds left remaining here on
4862s that lovely Vermilion Birds might so he
4864s wants to take this fight at any cost
4866s possible here it's going to be
4867s interesting to see Katana into fan this
4869s is definitely you don't something you
4871s don't see often here and he has to take
4873s it no he's going to get flipped out
4874s there by the F3 thankfully the F3 no
4877s longer steals your weapon away from you
4879s so zel going to be happy about that at
4882s the very least deada ultimate getting
4884s invested here this is going to be pretty
4887s hard though the furin comes through zel
4889s no UL yet still holding on to it still
4892s has the f as well really trying to
4894s pressure into this and oh my God he gets
4897s the overh Akuma doesn't read it he
4899s doesn't throw the fo in he doesn't
4901s expect it and zel goes to four
4903s eliminations zel where was this during
4905s the group stages hey hey well I mean
4909s group stag is all about qualifying big
4912s dog you know once you're in the pregame
4914s three the pre-finals the in the grand
4916s finals then you can start Really Cooking
4920s he is here he did manage to make it but
4923s now he's starting to show up four kills
4925s under his belt off the rip in the first
4929s game Holo on the Z on Z no l z i mean
4933s thing is so we've talked about this a
4936s little bit recently how Z hasn't seen
4939s very much play at all a lot of players
4941s are just thinking that she's really
4943s ially not all that strong anymore
4945s although we saw her a considerable
4946s amount like throughout the year she's
4949s not been picked up so far all that much
4952s in in Jacob as she's just she loses out
4956s in quite a few matchups and it can be it
4959s can be rather difficult to find Value
4962s but hey zel he's been managing to find
4965s it all too easily it seems he's been
4967s doing an excellent job of it especially
4969s with his strategy to go for that Podium
4972s at the beginning of the game get that
4974s gold weapon get that high tier Loot and
4976s then as Z does so well with the scaling
4980s it's cooked you know he's able to go in
4982s and just take people down left and right
4985s because of the damage that he can output
4986s speaking of damage though chuang sending
4989s out that fan vertical blue and just
4993s absolutely cooking this poor AOS
4996s unfortunately for him it wasn't all that
4999s much he could do at that at that point
5001s Chang Des trying to get over to the
5004s realm of Yang he it looks as though he
5005s is going to make it but here we are
5007s again zeld dink versus xcg Wang leang oh
5012s my goodness this is going to be crazy
5014s Wang leang though with the legendary fan
5016s and zel still holding on to a legendary
5018s Katana I'm very surprised that he's
5020s performed so well with the katana into
5022s so many of these fans but now that
5024s mistake is going to cost him pretty
5026s heavily if he eats into that R&B onto a
5028s legendary fan but we're going to see if
5030s he's able to come out on top he's got
5031s wangang pretty good here wangang trying
5034s to get repositioned back by the pillar
5036s there cuz he doesn't want to take this
5037s fight away from it we're going to see
5039s here we go zel trying to go for the
5041s overh hold wangang still trying to
5043s pressure and play around the pillar zel
5045s going to go to the backside here there
5047s we go we will see him come out here he's
5049s able to find one pot unfortunately here
5052s will he be able to keep playing the
5053s Dodge game on the outside of the pillar
5055s zel taking a lot of damage here the F
5058s being heavily invested here he decides
5060s he wants to come out and try to make
5062s something happen here unfortunately the
5064s ability to come back from this is going
5066s to be very diminished here there's no
5068s damage reduction on the ultimate so zel
5071s might just lose this one out he only
5073s needs one shot wangang trying to find it
5075s and finally there it is oh my goodness
5078s zel comes out from behind the pillar and
5080s says you know what I think I had better
5081s luck dodging it outside from behind the
5084s pillar unfortunately he's so low already
5086s wangang just needs to find one shot and
5088s I'll give it to zel though he manages to
5090s play keep away for a long time indeed it
5093s was RA you can't really do all that much
5096s against those machine guns it's you can
5100s dodge a few but you can't Dodge at all
5102s and just slowly chipping away at that
5104s health bar they uh yeah it it was
5107s looking pretty cooked wangang taking the
5109s initiative creating that Health deficit
5113s having a little bit more himself and
5114s then immediately just jumping into that
5116s pillar and using it to like as probably
5120s the best position that he could have so
5122s negate the pressure from that Z Ultimate
5126s o zel immediately jumping over to the
5129s grief platform the podium engaging
5132s immediately onto T225 he almost got a
5135s hit with the ballista but wasn't able to
5137s do so T225 he is getting cooked by this
5139s Katana but he does find the armor swap
5141s onto that
5142s blue5 he goes for the pillow drop
5144s unfortunately he's not able to connect
5146s that blue Focus follow up on the knockup
5149s zelink is able to find that heal
5152s although it looks as though T225 is uh
5155s he's trying to find a disengage angle
5157s he's trying to find a way to get out of
5160s the situation now that he has used that
5162s pillar he doesn't want to get caught
5164s without the pillar close by he can't
5166s drop it down he's going to have to
5168s regenerate that ultimate if not he's
5171s going to have to stay here and it looks
5172s as though that's exactly what he's done
5174s he's headed back on over to the pillar
5176s zelic eating that blue Focus negating
5178s the first one with the F ability he's
5180s slowly chipping away at T225 HP
5183s zeld though he's getting cooked from the
5185s back wangen coming in with that gold fan
5188s forced to use that ultimate now T25 he
5190s managed to fight the heal he's gone
5192s Skyhigh he's still using the terrain to
5195s his Advantage doing an excellent job but
5196s unfortunately gets caught out of the sky
5198s gets knock down eats so much damage and
5201s zelink now he's now on the retreat he's
5204s done his job he's managed to find a
5206s little bit of a little bit of moment to
5208s breathe but it doesn't look like Wang
5210s liang's going to let him he comes in
5211s with the pressure they'll now forced to
5213s go into a very very dangerous tunnel the
5216s thorny roller could turn up at any
5218s moment W angang he's still looking for
5220s it finds the armor swap zelink gets that
5223s white armor but it's not going to last
5224s him very much wangang overh holding with
5227s that P sword zeling trying to throw out
5229s that aerial lmb trying to negate this
5232s pressure but it's very difficult Wang
5234s leyang sends the horizontal but turns it
5236s on the second swing avoiding that Parry
5238s from zeld dink looks as though we're
5240s going to go for a full reset zeld dink
5242s he doesn't want to let him get a full
5244s heal though as he only has that white
5246s armor to heal up wangan gets clipped by
5248s the thorny roller through the wall as
5250s well unfortunately but there it is he
5253s comes in with the whole dodge run up
5255s parry and Wang leang takes down zel in
5259s game one what a nightmare for zeling
5263s Faria being the only player he's able to
5265s find coming up is already terrible given
5267s the fact that he is playing Z it's very
5269s hard for you to keep Faria away from the
5271s pillar but but for wangang to show up
5274s and third party and the two faas to make
5276s an agreement to say hey look we're going
5278s to get rid of this ey out of this Lobby
5281s such a terrible situation to be as we
5282s turn back to A's Mike going head to-head
5285s here with a wbg spider spider coming in
5287s with the pillar spider having found the
5290s early Parry on into this fight here but
5292s Mike though going to reinvest there
5294s coming on in with the ultimate looking
5296s for some value here spider feeling
5298s pressured into the filler and Mike just
5300s going to go airborne and says cool you
5302s can take the full reset I'm happy to do
5304s the same going to end the ultimate early
5306s as well so he can start building the
5308s rage back up and start to pressure on
5310s over to spider spider going to go ahead
5312s and D Mech here looking to get away Mike
5315s will open with the R&B walking down from
5318s the top side of the rock here this is
5320s huge God that R&B does so much damage
5323s it's absolutely ridiculous and there's
5326s nothing spider can do he finds an armor
5327s swap but this is going to be it ladies
5329s and gentlemen one more Clank Mike can
5331s just continue to
5333s in here oh my goodness the armor swap
5335s yet again for wbg spider spider fighting
5337s for his life right
5339s now Mike just trying to get locked on
5343s ladies and gentlemen spider keeps it
5345s going here ooh that's going to be nice
5347s that's huge for aw's mik he can afford
5349s to take the damage trade there the F
5351s being reinvested so spider can go
5352s airborne and spider dropping back down
5355s but now needs to be careful cuz there's
5356s a ban breath being dropped on the middle
5358s here and spider says I'm just going to
5360s have to Bane surf here I've got to try
5362s to get this pressure off of me but one
5365s bad Bane position could spell disaster
5367s for wbg spider he's able to get aot off
5370s he's looking to find another he will oh
5373s no oh baby he's able to get away from
5376s the ban and wbg spider will live to
5379s fight another day sh Zang coming in he
5383s was trying his best to follow up on the
5386s spider but hey they got their lines
5388s crossed chuang and Mike just ending up
5391s griefing each each other unfortunately
5393s and spider somehow makes it out alive
5396s that fan scale Rush doing so much work
5399s getting him out of a really bad
5401s situation but speaking of bad situations
5403s it looks like Mike and chuang are again
5406s grieving each other Mike gets sent down
5408s the hill into the clutches of Wang leang
5410s T225 and spider he's going to have a
5414s very tough time escaping he's trying to
5417s make his way over to these rocks to the
5419s podium get these get these little bit of
5422s cover the buildings there are a couple
5424s armor swaps there as well to work with
5426s so if he does get put under a bit too
5428s much pressure he's going to be able to
5430s alleviate it somewhat he does still have
5433s his ultimate up as well it looks as
5435s though it may be all right for Mike he
5439s has found he's found the rooftop he's
5441s chilling he's vibing it is not the end
5443s of the world the triple faer collapse
5447s wasn't enough fortunately for Mike he
5450s still has this fan movement as well well
5452s catching the zipping with fan it's just
5454s oh it's like how what do you do trying
5458s to catch a zipping at all is trying to
5460s catch a zipping at all is so so hard
5463s especially in places like Bloom Castle
5465s going to take a look here wangang now
5468s trading some blows with jg's chuang
5470s chuang here they absolutely tearing this
5473s Lobby up as well four eliminations just
5475s like wangang and zelink but jjang here
5478s needs to be careful he doesn't have that
5480s ultimate to fall back onto and the lobby
5482s trying to lock him down here could spell
5485s disaster A's Mike taking some shots here
5487s but Mike very quickly going to find that
5489s ultimate have oh my goodness Mike now is
5492s going to be the one who everyone turns
5493s their attention on he's forced to go
5494s through the Zone here that zone tick
5496s going to buly very very quickly doing a
5498s lot of damage and immediately he's only
5500s in that zone for about 2 seconds and he
5503s gets the anti-healing effect dropped
5504s onto him very quickly now going to come
5506s in invest the F here he's got the ult
5508s running as well Mike has literally spent
5511s all the gas in his tank ladies and
5513s gentlemen just trying to get back into
5515s this game he might be able to end that
5516s old just a little early there it is it's
5520s so ridiculous he doesn't even use the
5522s full ultimate he's back to full health
5524s he gets to hold on to some of it h we
5526s got to love zipping JD G's chuang here
5528s on the backside forced to use the
5530s ultimate this is going to be it for
5531s chujang there's no possible Escape for
5534s him no possible way for it to C to to
5536s slip away and it's T225 who picks up the
5538s elimination and goes to one we've got
5541s one player left remaining with four
5544s eliminations it is a lovely Wang leang
5547s and everybody else in the lobby on
5549s one indeed so many kills have been put
5554s on the board but quite a few of them
5555s have only just yeah as you said quite a
5557s few on one kill four of them on one GG
5561s sh he's already been eliminated but he
5562s too had one uh yeah and there's three
5566s players with four kills as well three
5568s players with four kills unfortunately
5569s tuing yeah that was a little a little
5572s bit of a a little bit of a blunder I
5573s would say from Ching just getting
5575s getting caught out in the open and
5578s getting caught in a fight against a
5580s zipping who's going to be able to
5582s disengage far more easily than you are
5585s as a teada teada not having Mobility not
5587s having that self peel at least not in
5589s the same capacity as a zipping it's it
5592s seems like it was a bit of a mistake to
5594s even come close to that kind of
5596s situation in these kind of final zones
5598s with all the fairies and the zipping you
5600s want to try and stay hidden I would say
5602s you want to try and stay inconspicuous
5604s you don't want to get lobbied because
5607s hey when you get lobbied by all these
5609s characters it's hard to come away with
5612s that with your life yeah absolutely A's
5614s Mike here making the smart decision he
5616s wants to take this delay game he's
5617s playing zip and yang he's got that
5619s legendary Katana in the back pocket from
5621s zel and you know it's very interesting
5624s we don't typically see a legendary
5626s Katana getting used as much as zel was
5629s using it but he wanted to make sure he
5630s had it in his hand for when he popped
5631s the old ultimate and he performed quite
5634s well on it honestly uh given the current
5636s meta with the fan and these P swords and
5638s stuff his ability to utilize the katana
5642s to come in and win some of those fights
5643s was quite impressive wangang on the
5646s backside here with every legendary you
5647s could possibly want in the back pocket
5649s fan dagger pole sword legendary armor
5652s it's like a who's who of the the current
5654s best weapons meta for Solas oh my
5657s goodness huge hits coming out onto A's
5660s Mike Mike once again finds himself
5662s fighting for his life on the backside
5664s here wbg spider just pushing away and
5668s good lord I can't believe that pillar is
5671s still down below from when jujang went
5674s down it's just big chilling right there
5676s it my
5679s goodness Mike doing an excellent job of
5681s staying on the move he takes a
5683s considerable amount of damage but keep
5685s on TI it still still keeps going I think
5688s it it does speak to the fact that a lot
5690s of these players they aren't looking to
5692s commit too many resources if they can do
5694s a chunk of damage very quickly like Mike
5697s got bursted very very fast but then they
5700s didn't they didn't really want to fully
5703s commit they didn't want to fully follow
5704s up as they could get caught in a very
5706s bad situation Panda man though he's got
5708s his back against the Zone he's getting
5710s pressured by this fan Mike is on the
5712s other side pandan with a huge Parry
5714s though T25 a little bit of a blunder
5716s he's now put himself in the line of fire
5718s but it doesn't look like Wang Le Yang's
5720s all that interested Wang leang he is
5723s just he's just he's just looking through
5727s these pink rose glasses and he's looking
5729s at Panda man he wants to cook he wants
5732s to cook that zipping he wants to take
5734s down this zipping as it's one of those
5737s it's just zipping you don't want to take
5739s down the zipping as the fers you want to
5741s get rid of them bandam man oh finds a
5744s moment to heal but the Zone starts
5745s pushing him in he does eat a
5747s considerable amount of damage I think
5748s that I think there's an armor Pier
5750s somewhere I think he ate that damage
5751s from armor pits not from the Zone itself
5754s but he's getting pressured by spider
5755s spider looking to shove him off of this
5758s terrain The Buttery rocks the scale
5760s rushia bull area this is going to be
5764s very very nice for those pole sword
5766s users wangyang with that gold pole sword
5768s may be able to do a considerable amount
5770s Panda man does have that blistering Edge
5772s as well and it looks as though he might
5773s have gecko foot there so if he gets a
5775s big scale Rush a big a big blue Focus
5778s charge scale Rush he could absolutely
5781s obliterate the health bar of one of
5783s these players narrowly avoiding that R&B
5785s release from T225 T25 glad to see him in
5788s this end game he he does have one kill I
5791s want to see him pick it up as he is one
5793s of the big ERS of the the CN scene and
5797s hopefully he's going to be able to do a
5799s little bit better than he has done
5800s leading up to this point spider though
5802s he's not feeling too good about that one
5804s he ate a lot of damage he sends out the
5806s pillar manages to follow up with the
5808s blue focus on the katana and immediately
5810s jumps into the mech he's trying to find
5812s that kill is going to be a bit of a bad
5815s situation though as he's just used that
5817s Mech he's not going to have it for this
5820s final Zone collapse he's going to have
5822s to try and make it work he's going to
5824s have to try and get as much value as he
5826s can before it comes down to the final
5829s moments panaman going up into the sky
5831s but he's getting cooked he gets knocked
5832s down by the turret no follow up
5834s unfortunately for those far as pandaan
5836s he's still grappling up Mike as well he
5839s gets caught by the turret and another
5841s one getting knocked into the Zone
5844s desperately trying to stay inside the
5846s safe Zone but they're double stacked the
5848s double artillery he's just getting
5850s pounded into the Zone into the sandy
5852s desert eating a mouthful of sand pandaan
5855s trying to do as much as he can but he's
5857s not really much he can do but wangle
5859s Yang's going to come away the winner of
5861s this Lobby of our first game of the pre
5864s finals today Mr Astro brain himself woo
5869s xcg wangle God I love it what a way to
5872s kick things off here in the pre-finals
5874s Wang Lang is that player I talk about
5876s all the time you cannot count him out
5880s this man in his first season of nvpl was
5882s an absolute demon and sometimes he lets
5887s that demon back out indeed he does wang
5889s leang one of my he's he's he's just one
5893s of the big dogs and I have big respect
5895s for this guy I love this guy he's always
5898s he's always thinking 50 steps ahead
5900s playing 5D chess with Maraca he is an
5905s absolute Legend come and collected and I
5908s like the hair too looking pretty fresh I
5911s know
5912s righted know I know why you like
5915s him look wait look me and wangan got a
5918s we got we got a little love obsession
5920s with the color red okay you know so do I
5922s I love red still haven't done the hair
5924s yet one of the one of these days we'll
5927s convert you over to me and wangang ways
5929s here but we'll have to see about tight
5931s Circle here you know our prediction
5933s before this for our players was who
5935s comes out with the most points is it
5937s going to be A's mik or wbg spider I
5940s think spider gets eliminated one
5942s position before Mike does so I think A's
5946s Mike actually will come out on top in
5949s terms of the points here so very very
5952s interesting to see there was a lot of
5954s moments where Mike could have went down
5956s but he keeps his composure he keeps his
5958s cool spider actually almost puts the
5961s business to him he turns around he
5962s catches that R&B forces spider into the
5964s ultimate and unfortunately at that stage
5967s of the game worst possible thing spider
5969s can do is jump into that pillar but he
5971s has no choice if he wants to keep the
5972s game alive so very very unfortunate turn
5975s of events for spider as we take a look
5977s here the players this is God I love this
5979s our players enjoy each other's company
5982s so much they're all such good friends
5984s man yeah it's lovely to see it really is
5986s it it really emulates the nakaka
5988s community as a whole it's one of the
5990s most welcoming games gaming communities
5992s that I've ever had the pleasure to be a
5993s part of no truly same for me I have the
5997s nraa community I love you all you know I
6000s do and uh hey it's the same over here in
6004s China oh yeah absolutely it's so cool to
6006s see all of the all of the mvpl players
6009s just hanging out having a good time it
6012s was lovely I I wish I wish I could speak
6015s Chinese so that I could understand the
6017s banter that goes back and forth between
6019s them that would be that would be here
6021s content I would love to hear that one of
6024s one of these days Duncan one of these
6025s days we'll get there oh my goodness but
6027s you know again I mean a a great
6030s Community to be a part of like you've
6031s got big man dunk here absolutely you
6034s know I passed the torch of the great
6035s swword on to you and you ran with it
6037s dude back in the day if you were unaware
6040s Duncan and me when we first met I was
6042s showing him some of the old school great
6044s sword Tech and this man just was like
6046s Hey run it's cool I appreciate you
6048s showing me the gray sword but I'm going
6049s to come out here I'm going to show you
6050s what it get really
6052s [Laughter]
6054s 6,000 hours later oh my God yeah uh the
6058s great sword enjoyers we will always be
6060s Duncan I do we will always be the faith
6063s for the great sword I think we will
6064s always have a little bit of that copium
6066s in the back pocket there but uh I mean
6069s such a such a great game one for us to
6072s come in on here the way this played out
6074s man zel coming in that zic four
6078s eliminations if he had made it just a
6080s little bit deeper man I mean the
6081s situation he found himself in though
6083s very very unfortunate not only one
6085s fairish Shen in front of you when you've
6086s got to get rid of the Yang depletion
6088s that's already tough cuz she's going to
6089s just kind of bait that fight out for a
6091s long time but then to have Wang leang
6093s show up and you to get sandwiched
6094s between two faas like it's such a
6097s terrible situation to be in and he did
6099s an incredible job he goes down bat bot
6101s side he's able to find the armor Swap
6103s and just trade it out there with our boy
6106s um Wang leang and just back and forth
6108s back and forth and he almost comes out
6110s on top of that fight but speaking of
6112s coming out on top we can take a look at
6113s the leaderboard here for our game one
6115s xg's wangang no surprises here four
6117s eliminations in first place finish a
6118s game score of 8.6 K's T225 finds two
6122s extra eliminations in that final Circle
6124s to go to three and will walk away with
6127s that second place finish meaning he gets
6128s a 6.2 game score JD G's chuang and
6131s zelden both with four eliminations each
6134s of course chuang survives just a little
6136s bit longer so he gets to walk away with
6137s that 5.8 and zel gets to walk away with
6140s a game score of 4
6142s 4.9 man I mean these are such tight game
6145s scores across the board quite honestly
6147s four kills the maximum three players
6149s with four eliminations each this was a
6152s very good game one you're absolutely
6154s right I I didn't think that we'd have
6157s like once it got to that few players you
6160s know we had so many kills on the board
6162s there weren't all that many players left
6164s alive but then it just it just got
6166s stalled for so so long I thought we were
6169s going to have a not so populated end
6171s game but I was wrong it we had about six
6174s five to six play something around that
6177s in the end game all scrapping out that
6179s double stack with the faer at the end
6181s that was
6182s hilarious oh hilarious truly wangang
6186s here with his Tak down onto Mike Mike
6189s did a decent job but he just he just
6191s sent out those blue focuses and wangang
6194s was on the ball zeling his fight against
6197s spider so unbelievably close but look at
6199s that damage you see that damage it's
6202s just it was it was crazy just crazy
6205s damage crazy damage so so much and it's
6207s very very hard to deal with that sort of
6209s thing when you don't really have all
6210s that many J to work with it's just
6213s unique here just getting cooked by Chang
6216s Chang he did start that engagement on
6218s The Buttery rocks and uh unfortunately
6221s un wasn't able really to deal with it
6223s wangang though with a huge bar on that
6225s gold pole sword absolutely obliterating
6228s zel at the very last moment T5 here
6232s coming in if he does get the the knock
6234s back boom and then the double stack the
6238s little rushan nesting dolls if you will
6241s yes
6242s exactly oh you don't see that every day
6245s it's rather funny to see but wangle and
6247s coming away the MVP of our first game of
6251s the day ladies and Gentlemen let's take
6253s a look at these stats he was uh hey he
6257s was popping he had some good we saw his
6259s inventory remember he had the gold fan
6262s gold dagger and the gold pulse sword and
6265s gold armor hey
6269s 20,000 damage woo four eliminations
6273s three pares as well and then coming in
6276s 5K damage coming in from skills and
6278s ultimates as well he had the repair roll
6281s jabbing in the back pocket he had soft
6283s step there's the gecko foot we were
6285s looking for and the Juggernaut almost
6287s fully stacked here by the end of the
6290s game no doubt absolutely huge set of
6293s Soul Jades here for him absolutely but
6296s hey you know the drill speaking of uh
6299s sort after prizes you know hey answer
6303s for Treasures it is it is as we all have
6306s been going through for the longest time
6308s now you know the drill what's the
6310s players's highest kill in the match who
6312s had the highest number of kills in this
6313s match well either what it's the total
6316s number of highest skills was it 0 to 4 B
6318s 5 to 7 C 8 to9 or D
6321s 10 plus if you don't have the answer to
6324s this one I need you to wake up cuz
6325s you're asleep at the wheel we're at the
6328s preal doing what are you doing and also
6331s make sure that you keep those eyes open
6333s and you keep those eyes locked on to
6335s those Whispers And the chat so that if
6338s you do end up being that lucky winner
6341s the lucky one chosen out of all of the
6344s participants with that correct answer
6347s that you don't miss the message telling
6349s you that you have won
6351s and that you can go and get your goodies
6354s to take into game with you absolutely
6357s speaking of taking into game we're
6358s getting ready to head in to game number
6360s two very shortly this first game
6362s absolutely wild I'm expecting to see a
6364s lot of the same in terms of hero pick
6366s I'm expecting to see three to four
6368s zipping during that first phase and
6370s everybody else trying to figure out what
6372s they want to do probably lots of farious
6374s shen as well she's very favored on this
6376s particular map she also you know she has
6379s to scale into late game in terms terms
6381s of that weapon selection as well so on
6383s those Firefly Maps she doesn't do quite
6385s as well in the early game because she's
6387s able to get that ultimate online but she
6389s doesn't have the weapons to really back
6392s it up so for a lot of these players this
6395s is an optimal time to go ahead and get
6397s these Faria and zipping picks out so
6399s that they can utilize them the best they
6402s can and then when they get to those
6403s later games when they get to those
6405s Firefly Maps there's a lot of Heroes
6407s they could potentially bring in that are
6408s going to do very very well off of those
6411s fireflies especially if you're Panda man
6413s Panda man coming in of course is going
6415s to be looking to use that TKA early on
6417s here but we've got another prediction
6418s for you guys make sure you head over to
6420s the website you can also get there from
6421s your in-game client as well which of the
6423s following two players will achieve the
6424s most kills this match do you think it's
6426s going to be a j team section or B drg's
6430s Akuma uh I'm going to give it to Akuma I
6433s think Akuma is looking to pop off today
6435s you know he didn't really find the pop
6437s off game he was looking for here zel was
6439s able to kind of come in and uh do 30 a
6441s little early on there but I I got faith
6443s in drg zaka I do as well as you as we've
6447s talked about action he's been popping
6449s off lately so it could go either way
6453s yeah it is it could go either way there
6455s are only two choices but make sure to
6457s get those choices logged in on the
6460s website so that you have a chance of
6463s winning those jaob goodies ladies and
6465s gentlemen but here we are we are getting
6468s ready to go into our second second game
6471s of the day the first prefinal of Jacob
6477s ladies and gentlemen are you hyped I'm
6480s hyped I'm so ready give me some nraa all
6484s our boy Duncan over here looking like
6486s he's about to go to the next level he's
6488s to ascend Beyond Duncan to the next
6492s stage of Duncan Ultra dun Duncan's going
6495s to run in here with not one but double
6498s great sword double great sword
6502s as we take a look here plenty of these
6503s players looking to find their Ascension
6506s as well here as we lock in for game two
6508s you man man Panda man so happy to see
6512s Panda man here you know we I I want to
6513s take a moment to talk about panda man
6515s from last year you know last year
6517s pandaan comes in he's in rep chage and
6520s he misses the opportunity to come to
6523s Jacob by a single elimination less than
6527s a single point not only does he miss it
6529s on the final game he breaks records in
6533s that final game if I'm not mistaken it
6534s was
6535s 14 eliminations in a solos Lobby and a
6541s first place finish the man
6542s absolutely dominated that Lobby and
6546s still misses the opportunity by less
6548s than a point we cut to him it's such an
6551s emotional moment for pandam man he's
6553s crying on stage I remember vividly
6555s writing a letter for them to send to him
6557s to you know let him know how proud We
6560s were of him as a player and that we hope
6562s to see him next year and here he is you
6564s know he turned around and promised that
6566s he would make it this year after getting
6567s that letter and he stayed good to his
6569s promise not only did he make it here but
6571s he made sure he qualified for the finals
6575s so pandaan is going to be looking to
6577s come after these lobbies mark my words
6581s absolutely and hey you know me I am a
6585s big Panda man enjoyer he's going to be
6588s down on the third round round selection
6591s for these characters we have wangang
6593s T225 spider and Akuma all picking first
6598s now as you said I do expect we will
6601s likely see more of the same it's holler
6604s off it's daytime what are you going to
6607s what are you going to do it's it's it's
6609s very a zipping gaming you know yeah
6611s exactly well the thing is is if you if
6614s you ban out zipping from the rest of the
6616s lobby and only the phase one people can
6618s run it that means when you come back to
6620s these other players they haven't had an
6622s opportunity to run zipping into Holo yet
6625s so why would they not take that
6627s opportunity when given to them to come
6628s in and play zipping on the map that
6630s she's going to do best here we are round
6632s one selection no surprises triple
6634s zipping already coming in the lock for
6636s zipping so she will be banned out
6638s immediately here after phase one as we
6640s had into our phase two Heroes selection
6642s we will see one fairy Shen we will see
6644s two do we see the third one Banning Fair
6647s out from our hero selection there it is
6649s ladies and gentlemen Fair will be banned
6651s from your hero selection heading into
6653s your fourth phase we're taking a look
6656s here at our boy g g sha and GG Shaw it's
6660s going to be four across the board and
6662s four across the board so the only
6665s opportunity to see some of those
6666s interesting picks coming through is
6667s going to be right now ladies and
6669s gentlemen at the bottom we're going to
6670s see Hottie being locked in by A's Mike
6674s then we're to still see who our other
6676s three players are coming in taada being
6678s locked in by Frosty Boy
6681s we will see another hottie being locked
6682s in by ug's pandaan and J team's action
6685s will also be locking in hotti it is
6689s going to be hottie farious Shen and
6691s zipping gaming indeed it is Frost ofus
6696s is going to be the lone demon the lone
6700s toada of the lobby hopefully he's going
6703s to be able to actually find ways to
6707s create opportunities for uh isolated 1 V
6711s ones isolated 1 V ones is what he wants
6713s he's going to be looking to go to the r
6715s of Yang I I would assume he definitely
6718s is shown that he his his real of Yang
6721s win rate is pretty good it is pretty
6723s solid he did in fact the other day go up
6726s against aaria in the r of Yang as deada
6729s and he was he was winning all the way
6732s until the very end unfortunately be it
6735s you be it greed or just Tunnel Vision on
6738s a specific opening for his combo or for
6741s his strategy once the fer came out of me
6744s cost him the fight as he was immediately
6747s comboed and just sent out of the realm
6750s of Yang with an L unfortunately but hey
6753s Frost ofus he learns from his mistakes
6756s he's going to come in here and I'm
6757s looking for him to go go pretty crazy
6761s off the rip with the teada we we're
6763s going to have to keep our eyes peeled
6766s for Frosty Boy but yes hardi p end man
6771s Mike action he's all been all picked up
6773s the hardi for this game three four
6776s zipping wangyang Akuma spider tt5 unique
6780s shaing and zeld Dink are all on that
6784s faer all running what you would expect
6787s your F1 v3s for the fer F1 V1 for that
6792s zipping and still
6795s surprisingly no V2 for the honey now
6799s we've talked about this going to give
6801s you the quick rundown V1 25 seconds no
6804s fire does damage V2 20 seconds does do
6809s fire
6810s damage but does a little bit less base
6814s damage
6815s so it's a tradeoff the fire damage can
6818s be very beneficial into your fers
6820s accessing the health bar directly and
6822s your zipping as well since you can cut
6824s the healing can be very very useful
6827s however I I don't think we've seen a
6829s single one a single player go for the V2
6832s Hadi just yet this tournament but hey I
6835s can see what you're looking at I see
6836s what you're looking at there's a very
6839s about to get
6840s spicy get ooly booly ladies and
6843s gentlemen yeah these boys bringing the
6844s oo and the boo is W spider here we're
6847s going to cut to already with a blue
6849s weapon and some white armor under their
6850s belt they're going to go ahead and pick
6851s up some of those lovely dandelions as
6854s well they want to keep it cool and quiet
6856s because they know they hot dropped and
6858s speaking of hot drops wangang and 225
6860s extremely close look like it might be
6862s trading blows Frost of is waiting in the
6864s Wings nearby as well but none of these
6866s fights have broken out just yet and
6868s that's a huge surprise given the number
6871s of players that dropped on top of each
6872s other here we go A's Mike into pandaan
6875s oh my God the charged lmb into the
6878s charged R&B conversion Mike absolutely
6881s makes pandaan disappear wbg spider
6885s getting juggled up here by the lovely GG
6888s shot coming in heavy spider going to be
6889s able to will find the armor swap very
6891s quickly though to quickly turn back into
6893s this fight GG Shaw trying to break away
6895s here utilizing some of those scale
6897s rushes looking for the opportunity to
6899s get a reset will find it as wbg Spider
6901s say he wants nothing to do with this but
6904s sha is thinking about turning back into
6907s this fight the problem being is he
6908s doesn't have Shield pots but there we go
6909s ladies and gentlemen he finds a shop and
6911s very quickly remedies that situation as
6913s he turned now to tt25 and Wang Lang oh
6916s my goodness the charged lmb coming out
6919s of those dual doing so much work on to
6923s wangang wangang will find the charge off
6926s of the dagger into the uppercut but he's
6928s going to be forced to use the ultimate
6930s here he's got so little charge left on
6932s it his tt25 just starts to tear through
6934s him tt25 will go for the Parry will be
6937s punished for it off of the whiff and T25
6939s needs to look for the reset here Wang
6942s with the Parry though picks up the
6944s purple dual blades here but wants to
6946s keep taking the fight with the dagger
6947s will find the charge R&B into the ground
6950s slam here now turning into those purple
6952s dual blades he picked up off of d225
6954s d225 trying to make it happen here with
6956s the fan the uppercut coming in there we
6958s go ladies and gentlemen the grapple Rec
6961s combo from wangang as he picks up his
6963s second elimination beautifully done by
6966s Mr Astro brain Wang leang but here we
6969s are heading right on over to the little
6972s Oasis spider having taken down GG sha
6976s with a lovely little long sword combo
6978s and now 521 unique he's trying to
6981s aggress he's trying to find an Avenue to
6983s enter into this engagement but
6985s unfortunately he gets parried off the
6988s rip unique drops down that pillar takes
6991s a moment to try and potentially heal up
6993s or loot that body and find a slightly
6997s speedier weapon but it doesn't look as
6998s though it's going to be enough to oh
7002s it's not going to be enough to take down
7004s spider ladies and gentlemen spider he's
7006s cooking him up he's in the web and he is
7010s demolished by spider wbg spider picking
7014s up two kills so far this game very nice
7018s to see a little bit of a contrast from
7019s our previous game he did have one before
7021s but hey he's already beating out his
7023s first gam performance Mike now he's
7026s trying to pick up his second kill of the
7027s game he's found wangang wangyang he does
7030s have that purple armor he has a little
7032s bit of a Health Advantage and it as well
7035s he does have that purple fan he's going
7037s to be able to do a considerable amount
7039s of Dage it does make up for the fact
7042s that Mike has that very aggressive
7045s ultimate but we're going to be going
7047s over to frost of US versus Mike Frost
7051s has been forced to use this teada
7053s ultimate having lost all of his armor
7055s spider now dropping down armoring
7057s through that blue Focus release with his
7059s own
7060s ultimate Frost is trying to find a heal
7063s he does have that advanced heal as well
7065s this is going to come in very clutch for
7067s him here gets that read he catches him
7070s coming around the corner gets the
7072s grapple reset goes for the PO sword
7075s scale Rush as well unfortunately he's
7077s not really able to transition that into
7079s all that much Frost uses his F3 to armor
7082s through that situation negate the
7084s pressure and there it is the staff into
7087s uppercut weapon swap with that purple
7090s pul sword juicy damage taking down wbg
7095s spider turn now A's Mike still giving
7098s hunt here to J team's action both of
7101s these players on the hot P action not
7103s able to get away as A's Mike clutches
7106s out the elimination and is looking to
7108s leave the soul Bloom behind because
7109s Realms of Yang going to be coming
7111s through very shortly and Mike wants to
7113s have an out in case something doesn't go
7116s his way ladies and gentlemen cutting
7118s back across the map here to GG's Sha Sha
7122s here who was on an interesting pick at
7124s last game unfortunately did get
7126s eliminated earlier by wbg spiders so now
7128s he's just looking to try to loot back up
7130s here wangang waiting in the distance
7133s though that purple staff going to be
7135s huge if he takes his engagement with
7137s wangang but wangang uh looks like
7139s they're doing a little bit of weapon
7141s swap Rooney here is going to leave the
7143s purple ooh Port chilling in the corner
7147s going to drop the other weapon there
7148s just because it might be a smaller Vis
7152s waiting to see what's going to go down
7154s here between sha and wangang if anything
7156s but ladies and gentlemen we're going to
7158s see where those yangs come through very
7159s shortly Mike and wangyang back at it
7161s again at the top of the order here Mike
7163s looked to have been holding down wangang
7165s earlier and wangyang was able to break
7167s away and then we saw the fight break out
7170s between A's Mike and J team's action and
7173s of course Mike comes out on top of that
7175s and wangang here hungry to have a repeat
7177s performance from last game Mike is going
7179s to come over and see the body that he
7182s picked up earlier there that was J
7183s team's action doing a little bit of
7185s shopping there off of it for some
7187s resources for himself and still holding
7190s on to that Soul Bloom but needs to be
7192s careful if he gives that position away
7193s to another player like this player who's
7195s about to go down that Soul Bloom he has
7198s stashed might disappear and I don't
7200s think he saw this player no I think it's
7202s it's it's because it was origin coming
7205s back his body yeah he can't pick up the
7207s soul Bloom from his
7209s own y so we have quite a few players
7212s here looking to go into these Realms of
7214s Yang posturing to get on in there and
7216s get ugly booly we've got frost of us t
7219s five Akuma all lurking at the portal
7222s very close to plume Castle we have
7224s panaman and zel in the north gsha and
7228s Wang leang both looking to go in on the
7230s center one action and Mike it's a
7233s gentleman's agreement they both want to
7235s go in they both oh I'm not sure if
7237s wangley wait was it no sorry Shin I'm
7240s not sure if he managed to make it in but
7241s Mike certainly did and he is met with
7245s the demon of the lobby right now Frost
7247s of us on the tocada we're going to have
7249s to wait and see how this plays out but
7252s Mike he does have a little bit of a
7254s disadvantage in terms of effective
7256s Health Frost of Us opening up with that
7258s F3 managing to get a decent amount of
7260s Chip damage Mike very quick to equalize
7263s Frost sends out that vertical blue Focus
7266s Mike with a huge Parry gets that
7269s uppercut after the cancel Into the Blue
7272s focus and now he's going for the
7273s ultimate he's trying to take the
7275s initiative prus manages to hit him out
7278s of the air on that end tree and again
7281s reads it twice back to back Frost he
7285s only has one blade left remaining and he
7288s sends it out Mike baits it out he's able
7291s to force him to use it and it looks as
7294s though it might be over
7296s Mike sends him out sends him out without
7300s a soul Bloom and he's going to have to
7301s try and find one to stay alive yeah
7305s looks like GG sha also going to win his
7307s realm of Yang as it's going to be A's
7310s mik and GG Shaw who are going to be
7311s picking up that Vermilion Birds Smite
7314s and heading back out to the map here
7317s there we go you can see him popping in
7319s the top right hand corner there ug's
7321s pandaan of course going to lose his
7323s realm of Yang into GG sha so pandaan
7326s also going to be on the hunt for one of
7328s those Soul blooms as we packed back to
7330s frost ofis here Frost ofis coming into
7332s the Zone he might have a body stash if
7334s he's going to spawn this close here
7337s through the edge of the Zone Frost here
7339s we go no questions about it ladies and
7341s gentlemen spider that spider dropped I
7344s think yeah he's coming out he knows he's
7346s got one out here looking to see where it
7349s is he needs to be careful though yeah
7351s that heal cut going to take any time now
7354s he should probably drop a heal pot here
7356s very soon there it is wait is it there
7358s where's the body no it's not there Frost
7362s ofis oh no very unfortunate here turn of
7366s events for our Frosty Boy as we cut back
7369s to the winners of a realing bang AOW
7371s Mike going head to-head here with GG
7373s Shaw GG Shaw trying to come out and make
7375s something happen about equal here in
7377s terms of damage but now Shaw going to
7379s take a little bit of damage coming in
7380s the armor swap there for A's Mike Mike
7383s more than happy to take the armor swap
7384s here and continue the fight with GG Shaw
7386s sha trying to come back down here on the
7389s bottom side to get away from Mike but
7391s Mike going to keep the pressure up there
7393s we go Mike able to get the read there
7395s and finds the Clank on the whites now
7397s into the car the bow shot Ste from Akuma
7400s though Akuma comes in and finds an
7402s elimination and God this is why I love
7405s drg's Akuma he always shows up the
7408s weirdest times The Boy comes out of
7410s nowhere Mike on the back but going to
7412s take the armor swap yet again into the
7414s white DG zaka just putting the smoo on
7418s A's mik but action's going to run it
7420s back ladies and gentlemen comes in and
7422s finds it on to A's mik oh my goodness
7426s wait is that another run back GG shot is
7428s back again again everyone is very heated
7433s at the moment all of these run backs GG
7436s sha having had a bit of a I would I
7439s would have I would have said that he
7441s might have been a bit scarred off of his
7442s first game salty run back considering
7445s that he he immediately reses and then
7447s does in fact get taken down but he does
7450s not care he is in it he is playing very
7453s aggressive and hey it's not it's not so
7457s far it didn't go too badly this game
7459s Frost of us though he he is not in the
7462s best of positions he needs to find
7464s himself a soul Bloom sadly it did get
7468s his the one that he had stashed away has
7470s been picked up by another player here we
7473s are another player in a similar
7474s situation Panda does have that Health
7476s Advantage he's trying to take down
7478s spider though but spider with that
7480s zipping Mobility he's on the move with
7482s that fan as well the scale rushes is so
7486s Speedy so unbelievably hard to catch and
7488s keep hold of panda man he's still
7491s chasing though he's taking his time he
7493s looked to heal up real quick before he
7496s continued the chase it looks as though
7498s he's about to do so but Frost of us
7501s we've gone all the way back to our demon
7503s boy he's only got one minute remaining
7505s on that Yang depletion and he has exin
7508s in his sights exin forced to use that F2
7510s taking a little bit of damage he's
7512s trying to follow up it looks as though
7514s they may have oh action did he break the
7517s ankles I think he may have a Mike is now
7520s the focus Pro ofus almost gets that
7523s weapon swap combo but Mike using that F2
7527s able to disengage Mike committing the
7530s ultimate here I think he senses the
7532s desperation out of frost ofers and he is
7535s not about it he does not want to get
7537s grieved in this situation he does cancel
7540s the ultimate Frost ofs he knows he needs
7542s to find somebody to take down but it's
7544s not oh I don't think it's going to be
7546s possible and I think Frost ofus he's
7548s going going to take the L he's going to
7550s go and find himself a little corner to
7553s slowly fall over into the night so
7556s unfortunate for Frosty Boy here the the
7560s swap there by wangang as he runs through
7563s he loses track of which hotti is witch
7565s and there it is ladies and gentlemen
7567s Frost is going to lay on his sword so
7570s will ug's P both of them going to die to
7574s Yang depletion this is a rare sight
7576s indeed we very rarely see both players
7579s coming out with the Yang depletion dying
7582s together like that so very very
7584s interesting G of events as we get ready
7586s to move into our second set of Realms of
7588s Yang a lot of players postering to try
7590s to take these Realms of Yang A's Mike
7592s GG's Shaw of course JT's action as well
7596s it's going to be Mike versus sha ladies
7599s and gentlemen inside our realm of Yang
7601s and action versus drg's Akuma Mike here
7604s with the legendary long sword into GG
7607s Shaw's legendary n nunchucks I do
7609s believe it's hottie versus Faria and
7612s we're going to see how this match up
7613s plays out Mike going airborne here
7615s looking for some of those pistol shots
7617s is able to avoid the aerial R&B there
7620s coming in some damage being found here
7622s by GG Shaw but not enough as A's Mike
7625s finds a ton of damage conversion off of
7627s the long sword here goes for the overh
7629s hold is forced out of the neutral there
7631s as the Perry whff comes a little too
7633s late for him to capitalize on there we
7635s are going to see the Faria going up into
7637s me form mik going to get a full pot off
7639s here while taking a little bit of damage
7641s able to dodge backwards away here able
7644s to dodge again and mik going to look for
7646s some more of these pots he's able to
7648s find one the oh that's a lot of damage
7651s coming in though Mike able to find one
7653s more pot he needs to dodge this next one
7655s yet again he's able to dodge two he's
7657s able to dodge three Mike will find the
7660s full heal ladies and gentlemen and now
7662s he's got the ultimate coming in there's
7664s not much shot can do about this oh my
7666s God there's so much damage being ripped
7669s out and GG sha basically stands still as
7673s A's mic tears him apart oh my goodness
7678s that was that was obliteration right
7681s there from A's mic taking him up to four
7685s eliminations in this game very nice
7688s showing from him I'm glad to see it I'm
7690s glad to see the ugly Boer at it again
7694s and yes as it did look as though he was
7696s simply just stood still but that is just
7699s how much you can get off of that triple
7702s charge he perfectly timed it on his way
7704s out of that me and he just gets all of
7707s that followup it is quite frankly just
7710s really really really strong and it's
7713s that exactly why we've been seeing it
7715s picked up time and time again so far in
7719s this year's Jacob here we are GG sha
7722s with that Yang depletion he has joined
7725s the herd the herd of Fighters the
7728s zipping thingss and the faers and he's
7731s looking to try and pick up this Soul
7732s Bloom to cleanse that Yang depletion we
7733s have drg zaka who's won his realm of
7736s Yang Ling around GG sh takes a little
7738s bit of sh damage he may have been made
7741s into the target here but it doesn't look
7743s like they're going to be committing just
7745s yet we have aen who lost out to drg
7749s Akuma only on that blue armor oh he's
7752s found himself zel he's found another
7754s blue armor gamer but he takes a little
7756s bit of Chip damage on the entry F2 now
7760s he's trying to get a reset zel think
7762s with that musket manag to get a little
7763s bit more chip Z he's playing around he's
7766s playing footsies with these dual blades
7768s he does not have his ultimate available
7770s just yet so he is trying to buy a little
7774s bit more time before fully committing to
7776s this fight this is also a very dangerous
7779s place to be having a fight as you have
7781s these purple hands coming out of the
7784s ground out of the sand that if you step
7787s on or if you just knock in any way they
7791s send out this explosion that will
7794s silence anyone within a certain area of
7797s effect and if you get silenced at a bad
7799s time it can mean your demise yeah and
7802s it's a very long silence too I do
7805s believe it's the longest silence in the
7807s game if you run into one of them you'll
7809s be very surprised how long it actually
7811s locks you out of doing certain things as
7813s we take a look we cut back here to GG
7816s shotg Zuma going head-to-head here
7818s trading blows the both the winner of
7820s their respective realm of Yang they're
7822s going to back away though and try to let
7825s some of these other fights take place
7826s sha going to eat a huge scale rush
7829s though somebody getting pick up Zelda
7830s going to be picked up by JT's action
7832s action I'm not sure whether he was able
7834s to cleanse the Yang depletion or not oh
7836s my Good Golly g g sha coming in here
7840s looking to go top side the Yang
7842s depletion here on G G sha ticking away
7846s ladies and gentlemen he's got to find an
7848s elimination
7849s very shortly A's Mike out here looking
7854s for something as well wangang on the
7856s backside sha not really happy about his
7859s lot in life given here that A's might
7860s comes out on top of him in that realm of
7863s Yang and forces him to come out here and
7865s take these bad fights and unfortunately
7868s it is a Lobby full of hotties zipping
7870s and faras and he goes down oh my
7873s goodness two aows Mike Sal in the wound
7877s comes in says I'm going beat you in the
7879s Yang I'mma beat you out of the Yang AOW

7886s drg Akuma sitting on three as well as
7888s xgs Wang leang wbg spiders still in the
7891s lobby holding things down with two kills
7894s and of course xg's um sorry j team's xen
7898s also holding down to eliminations things
7902s getting very interesting as we are your
7903s top six zone three collapsing onto zone
7906s four which means we're going to see that
7907s first set of Mor blessings coming
7909s through with those legendary armors and
7911s many of these players going to be trying
7912s to lock into an J team's action though
7915s as we start talking about him we turn
7917s back he's so low he gets sniped out of
7919s the air wbg Spider goes to three as he
7922s sends action back to the lobby wangang
7924s and spider now trading some blows here
7926s wangan going to invest the F and back
7927s away drg zaka though coming in with the
7930s benic Descent Suns wbg spider reing
7934s ladies and gentlemen he's forced to
7935s invest the F and the ultimate just to
7938s try to get the full reset here T225
7940s going to burn the belt to get a little
7942s bit of information about the players
7944s around them spider going to start taking
7945s some shots here from T225 spider not
7948s wanting anything to do with this given
7950s that he just burnt his F and his
7951s ultimate and he's starting to find a
7953s little bit of Rage to build back in will
7956s break away from this fight but it's
7957s going to be A's Mike who finds the box
7961s and puts his hands on that legendary set
7963s of armor indeed and it looks as though
7966s he also managed to pick himself up a
7968s legendary pul sword we talked about it
7971s quite a bit at this point pul sword has
7974s become a staple in these end games to
7977s keep yourself alive as you can stay on
7979s the move and exert pressure
7981s simultaneously but in the kill feed just
7983s there I think we saw Wang leang taking
7986s down spider it may have been a third
7988s party situation Akuma also very low HP
7992s he could have come in and stalled it
7993s away but we will never know at least not
7995s for the moment Akuma narrowly avoiding
7999s being eliminated here as well wangang
8002s forcing him to use that ultimate he's
8005s now fully disengaged thankfully for
8007s Akuma wangle Yang going up to four kills
8011s four eliminations in this game and
8013s speaking of the number four we've only
8015s got four players left alive as well A's
8019s Mike topping the leaderboard right now
8022s with five kills and here we are we've
8024s got the replay it was in fact a third
8027s party situation wangyang catching spider
8029s trying to go through a window just overh
8032s holding and then catching him on the
8034s drop down there very nicely done by
8037s wangang in the right place at the right
8040s time the calculated time and there it is
8043s look wangang be in the kitchen cooking
8045s right now that's all I got to say this
8047s this man is one of those guys who walked
8049s in he opens up his jacket he's got the
8051s full spice rack on Deck you know what
8053s I'm saying he said I've come here to
8055s cook everybody wangang it back to back
8059s huge games already here in our
8061s pre-finals he's got four eliminations
8063s right now he's Top Four A's Mike with
8066s five eliminations and now the two of
8067s them trading blows here as we speak Wang
8070s Lang trying to get away here waiting for
8072s that F to come back on cool down will
8073s find it and just needs to keep things
8075s moving here while he lets his F do the
8076s work unfortunately he's going to eat a
8078s cannon shot a little bit of a movement
8079s error input there as he hits the side of
8081s the tree he's going to feel forced to go
8083s top side now he's feeling forced to
8084s invest the ultimate as well Wang Lang oh
8088s my good the whole Lobby hungry for the
8090s elimination there's really no place he
8092s can go he's caught out in the middle no
8095s way for him to break the ankles here
8096s he's got forced to keep the ultimate oh
8098s my god Phoenix Blast coming in through
8100s the door wangang gets put into timeout
8103s there's no place for him to go he's
8104s stuck in the 10 the SC he will get away
8107s oh my goodness Mike finds the
8108s elimination though it goes to
8112s six AOW Mike he is tearing it up in this
8117s second game of the day speaking of
8120s getting te up but Akuma oh he's getting
8123s focused down by T25 and by Mike here
8126s he's not got any armor just a tiny
8129s little sliver he does not have his
8132s ultimate to work with either the
8134s velocity Untold taking the rest of that
8137s armor clean off Akuma he's trying to
8140s escape he's trying to use these building
8142s he does manage to find oh no wait it was
8144s the Mike Mike managing to find the Parry
8146s with that long sword
8148s taking T225 out of the equation and then
8152s isolating Akuma for himself going up to
8155s seven
8156s eliminations sending out these Phoenix
8159s blasts left and right he just doing all
8162s the damage he can he does not care he
8164s has that F2 to cover if he does have his
8167s turn taken back and it's exactly what
8169s happens uses that F2 he loses a little
8172s bit of dam a little bit of Health but
8173s it's not it's nothing too big oh but
8176s that's a little chunky he eats a big
8180s chunk from those nunchucks from that
8183s velocity Untold and now he's getting Chi
8186s down by the pistol shots if he manages
8188s to make it into the tent he does in fact
8191s make it in he doesn't have too much to
8194s work with though he's just trying to get
8196s this full heal I imagine there it is he
8199s cancels the ultimate keeping about
8201s 25% he's going to look to try and
8203s re-engage very shortly so is T225 he
8206s does have the advantage he does have
8208s have that zipping Al to work with but it
8210s might not be enough especially if Mike
8212s is going to hit him with this beautiful
8214s terrain combo getting him off the roof
8217s into the
8218s carousel demolishing all of that armor
8221s T5 he's still on the Move he's trying to
8224s stay evasive he's trying to get out of
8227s dangers but oh my the Parry coming in
8231s from Mike the long sword sa with the
8234s gold long sword doing so much damage oh
8238s T25 he does find the armor swap he's
8241s still on the move is s out for the count
8244s he has no F to work with he has no way
8248s to Leever any of these oh my there it is
8253s and Mike with the grapple combo into
8255s Phoenix blast takes the second game of
8259s the day what I tell you A's mic was not
8262s going to take the disrespect of day one
8265s lying down once we got to the pre-finals
8267s here where it really matters AOW Mike
8270s picking up eight eliminations and a
8273s first place finish here ladies and
8276s gentlemen what a huge game coming in
8279s from A's Mike a big game yet again for
8282s xg's uh Wang leang though who is still
8285s is I think just now I think this kill
8288s edges Mike just above him now back into
8291s first place but wangang still having two
8293s big games back to back here keeping the
8295s consistency alive A's Mike happy wangang
8299s clearly not happy about this turn of
8300s events cuz he thought he was going to
8302s win this Lobby and then he all of a
8304s sudden just gets completely targeted out
8306s by the entirety of the lobby there's no
8310s escaping for him he even lands that
8312s massive scale Rush gets outside the 10
8314s and Mike is just waiting right there
8315s with the tip of that long s he's like
8317s you thought you got wait by no no no no
8321s I love that Mike and spider sat next to
8324s each other and they're just having a
8325s chat they're just having a n after the
8328s game you know just oh yeah but did you
8331s see this oh I hit him with this and that
8333s oh it was so funny man we love it we
8336s absolutely love it here oh what a good
8339s game number two this was ladies and
8341s gentlemen absolutely blessed we are here
8344s with some good nraa and this is just
8347s pre-finals yeah these these points
8349s absolutely matter for these boys but
8351s don't get me wrong you can bet when we
8353s go to our six finals games in Chang Du
8356s we are going to see some cra craz has
8358s come out oh yes oh yes indeed hey Mike
8362s how many kills is that eight kills eight
8365s eliminations coming through for A's Mike
8368s huge absolutely huge eight and a first
8371s place finish I do believe is 15 or 16
8375s total points for the game when we go
8378s back and look at the points and the
8380s conversion just huge coming in for Mike
8383s but Mike's not finished yet he's still
8385s got four games left to play today he's
8387s in first place now you can bet he's
8389s going to keep bringing the heat yeah no
8391s absolutely he is you know when he gets
8394s he gets into that mood you know when he
8397s gets into that really happy just like a
8400s you know when he's in that mood that's
8402s when he's uh when he's feeling himself
8404s he's having a good time he's having fun
8407s and it shows it really shows he's he's
8409s bopping off that flank that he did on
8412s Wang leang coming out the door he thing
8414s is he did that preemptively he knew that
8416s the other players were going to chase
8418s him into that little entrance at the
8420s back of the T so he went up and
8423s over came out the other side come in
8426s boom just completely cut off all avenues
8429s of escape and hey closes out that kill
8433s very very nice also getting that huge
8436s barri on the T225 preventing T225 from
8438s continuing the chase onto di Akuma
8441s taking drg Akuma for himself and then
8444s having that isolated fight afterwards
8446s even without his ultimate in that final
8449s engagement still able to come away with
8451s the dub very very nice to see yeah you
8453s know it's so one of the very few
8456s weaknesses that zipping has is once
8457s those abilities have been spent and
8460s burnt if you're able to catch them in
8461s something like a carousel that you can
8463s grapple extend in a 1 V one it's very
8467s hard for them to do anything about it
8468s they might as well just take their hands
8470s off the keyboard and mouse and wait for
8472s you to finish that combo out before they
8474s do anything and when you're that low
8476s into legendary long sword into Phoenix
8479s blast odds are you're never going to get
8481s to put your hands back on the controls
8483s no no no no definitely not imagine if
8486s he'd had hepor as well hepto would have
8488s been the icing on the cake but he did
8490s not he was he was just playing around
8492s with that Phoenix blast but there you
8494s have it ladies and gentlemen
8497s 14.2 points on the board for AOW Mike
8501s eight kills to his name Wang leang
8504s coming in second with 6.7 points four
8508s kills Akuma with three spider with three
8510s extan with two and then a few others
8513s we've got T25 shelle and frost all with
8516s one kill each Panda man unique chuing
8520s unfortunately weren't able to put any on
8521s the board it is what it is but uh hey I
8526s know for sure unique aggressive player
8530s unfortunately he's not able to make it
8531s happen right now but you know this is
8533s just our holler off oh yeah just our
8536s holl off game
8538s and hey you know it those those Gamers
8541s coming over from SCA they like to get
8545s ugly in in those Firefly scenarios with
8550s all of those aggressive
8552s characters look you can bet zel has
8554s something planned out for those Firefly
8556s Maps as well the crazy strategy coming
8559s out from zel game one I don't think we
8560s talked about it enough you touched on it
8562s dropping on Podium to guarantee he
8566s instantly scales to the the highest
8568s level damage he can for his ultimate and
8570s then it brings Z into the lobby huge big
8573s brain play like absolutely massive brain
8576s play as we take a look at the overall
8577s scores here you can see Frost of his
8579s unique GG Shaw rounding out the bottom
8581s of the table here J team's etion in that
8584s ninth position with a 3.4 earned in last
8587s game o ug's pandan holding on to eighth
8589s right now with a 4.6 deg Zuma with a
8594s 5.4 these guys right here a lot of work
8596s to do but it is two games deep we
8599s haven't headed into that second half yet
8600s as we take a look A's Mike here off the
8602s back of a 14.2 game score here for game
8605s number two will move into that first
8607s place position with a total game score
8609s of 17.6 Wang leang keeping the
8612s consistency strong in second place right
8615s now with 15.3 but crucially an 8.6 in
8618s game one and a 6.7 in game two k225
8622s currently in third place with a total
8625s score of 9.7 wbg spider in a position
8628s he's not really used to being in right
8630s now A 7.4 is not that strong of a place
8634s for wbg spiders but as is zeling off the
8637s back of a good performance in game one
8639s comes in here and is able to lock down
8641s 6.5 right now and is currently holding
8643s on to fifth place JD G's CH Jang was off
8646s to a tear in game one unfortunately this
8648s game was a complete Donut for him he
8651s walks away with zero points but this is
8653s a player who's very very interesting
8655s typically throughout the seasons for our
8657s first two years here jdg chujang has
8659s been one of those players we have not
8661s talked about a lot at all because he's
8663s always kind of in the middle of the pack
8665s and he's like he's not an at risk player
8667s but he's not a really strong player
8669s either in terms of his scores coming in
8672s now here coming into to our group stages
8675s and here in our pre-finals he really is
8678s looking like a totally different player
8680s he's just coming in and looking to Blitz
8682s lobbies yeah absolutely I'm I'm very
8686s happy to see k
8688s T5 getting up to the top of the
8690s leaderboard he's he's not in the top
8692s tw's position you know top two's both in
8694s double digit but uh hey it's good to see
8698s I'm a big fan of T25 fellow terer
8701s enjoyer he get up there get up there
8704s you're an OA you're the definition of
8707s aner I want to see it zel again he's
8711s managing to pick up a kill here very
8713s nice oh Mike Mike just
8718s it's so just watching this is It's it
8721s it's just cuz it's so new still it just
8724s it just almost looks a little silly just
8726s like zoom zoom just flying through the
8728s air trying to catch each other winged
8730s men just like chasing each other through
8733s the air here we are another one just SP
8738s oh just the snipe on action there yeah
8741s oh look at his face oh surprised AC's
8745s like I he's like wait a minute I didn't
8747s get away with that how in the world what
8751s what the what the what the
8753s heck oh my goodness and then AOW Mike he
8756s closes out this game so strong he was on
8758s four eliminations when there were five
8760s players left in lobby and he manages to
8762s find every single elimination on every
8766s single player left remaining alive and
8768s closed it out for a game score that was
8770s absolutely huge 14.2 as we take a look
8772s here 27,000 almost 28,000 damage eight
8775s eliminations three paries 15 no 16,000
8779s of that damage coming in from the long
8780s sword he's got razor Swift he's got
8782s Phoenix flash he's got whirling slash
8784s Juggernaut yet again rearing its ugly
8788s head here on the MVP's screen Ripple
8790s step and Phantom step and he's got that
8792s long sword sap that sap absolutely huge
8795s came in clutch in that fight with the
8797s zip in the end it did indeed it just
8799s does so much damage and you're hey the
8803s healing the chunky healing is beautiful
8805s but look at that 16,000 damage with the
8807s long sword 7.5 with the fan not all that
8811s much coming out from the ultimate there
8813s yeah the ploe blade is the weapon that
8816s hard uses in his ultimate that Gauntlet
8818s blade you know he's uh he's he didn't
8822s actually use it all that much it looked
8823s as though he may have used it to close
8825s out a couple kills but other than that
8827s it was mainly just that golden long
8829s sword putting in work with that grapple
8832s combo with the Phoenix blast off of the
8834s Phoenix blast as well you can typically
8836s get a
8837s halt Dodge into a vertical hit while
8840s they're still staggered on the ground
8842s and you can look to try and Tech Chase
8844s on their Dodge off of their wake up
8847s option very nice very very strong weapon
8851s and setup and he's he's hey he showed us
8855s how it's done but here we are yet again
8858s you know the drill ladies and gentlemen
8859s answer for Treasures make sure to get
8862s your answers into the chat of this
8863s question the question is which melee
8866s weapon did this match's MVP deal the
8869s most damage with we were literally just
8873s talking about this you should probably
8875s know which it is the the the possible
8880s answers are a dual halberts B staff c p
8884s sword or D others others yeah others oh
8888s my goodness ladies and gentlemen
8889s hopefully you were paying attention for
8891s this and just like hopefully you were
8892s paying attention for this you are paying
8894s attention to the Whispers here on Twitch
8895s because if you are the luy winner that's
8897s how we're going to be reaching out to
8898s you but before we come back and lock in
8900s for our third game of the day we've got
8902s a short video for you so don't go
8908s [Applause]
8926s anywhere

8986s spe
8992s [Music]
9000s [Music]
9015s for

9165s how
9176s [Music]
9190s [Music]
9195s just
9199s friends in real life and rivals on the
9202s battlefield a is Mike and wbg spider I
9205s think we can learn a lot from the
9207s relationship between these two players
9210s it's such a heartfelt story being here
9213s watching them getting to see how they
9216s perform on the stage and how they
9218s interact with one another Duncan I mean
9220s it really says a lot about us here at
9223s the nvpl here at the J cup here for all
9226s of the players in the community that is
9228s nraa there's no place in the world I
9231s could think I would rather be than to be
9233s here for Jacob no Community I would
9235s rather be a part of than the nraa
9237s community these guys are incredible and
9240s we're lucky to be a part of that Journey
9242s no absolutely I could not agree more
9244s with that sentiment I am hey on the same
9247s wavelength I completely agree best
9250s community I've ever been a part of and I
9253s I think a lot of us can say the same a
9255s lot of a lot of people can say the same
9258s but hey you know the drill you know the
9260s drill you have to get your predictions
9263s in for this coming game up on the
9265s website go to the website you can access
9266s it through the client as well you have
9268s to make sure to answer this question
9269s which of the following two players will
9271s achieve the highest survival rank in
9273s this match if identical the one with the
9275s most remaining HP will win will it be a
9279s frost ofis or B Wang leang Mr Astro
9283s brain or the the icy man himself make
9287s sure to get your predictions in this
9288s it's a this is this is this is a tough
9290s one right because Frost ofis hasn't had
9292s the two best games starting out here in
9295s the pre-finals but I expect to see him
9297s pick things up so this could very well
9299s be Frost's game that said on the flip
9302s side of the coin wanglang has been so
9304s consistent in the last two games coming
9307s in he's very much always at the top
9309s always in the end so I don't know chat
9312s this one I I'm agree with Duncan on this
9314s one we're going to have to leave this
9315s one for you guys to the side because man
9318s it's it's a tough choice as we take a
9319s look here we are getting ready to lock
9321s in for this third game zelink here as we
9324s take a look man this player has really
9327s really surprised me today I'm not going
9329s to lie I'm still reeling from his four
9332s elimination zy game in the very
9334s beginning he comes in he takes a pick we
9337s don't think of big brain Strat as well
9340s like you said dropping on the podium so
9341s that he can guarantee the maximum power
9344s scaling for that ultimate from the the
9346s rip and immediately going to look to
9348s take fights and win fights with it I
9350s mean huge huge plays coming from zelden
9353s this is somebody you know I criticized
9355s him during the group stages for double
9357s locking the Viper pick I think he's got
9360s some more stuff up to sleeve I'm
9361s interested to see what it's going to be
9362s Duncan no I completely agree it's it's
9365s definitely always nice to see a little
9368s bit of variety coming into these games
9372s into these lobbies as when you're
9374s playing at this level you do need to be
9377s playing the best possible characters but
9381s hey if you can mix it up just he catch
9384s someone slipping and not ready for
9386s something like the Viper or the Z you
9390s can come away with quite a lot of value
9393s as zel managed to do in our first game
9397s but here we are our third game of the
9400s day ladies and gentlemen our final Holo
9404s game of the day and also our final final
9407s non Firefly game of the day and let's
9410s take a look at these character
9413s selections we have zel choosing unique
9416s and sha all picking first now I Envision
9420s we'll probably see more of the same few
9423s zipping off the rib maybe
9425s some and then a few bits and balls you
9428s some Hardies maybe a te or to something
9431s along those lines yeah I was very
9433s surprised how much hottie we did get in
9434s the last match I really expected some of
9436s these players to save that hottie for
9439s these Firefly Maps so time is going to
9441s tell what that stage pick is going to be
9443s but here we are for your first phase and
9446s no surprise zipping being locked in
9448s already but are we going to see there it
9450s is oh a Tessa pick coming in from zel I
9452s really like this zel did exceptionally
9454s well on this Tessa pick in previous days
9457s this is a hero GG Shaw oh my goodness
9460s sha gonna be bringing the zyck in as
9464s well we're gonna see the lovely lovely
9467s fairish in getting double picked here
9469s but we still have zipping available
9472s nobody's been banned out yet here in
9474s game number three The Twist has been
9476s activated nobody saw this coming from GG
9479s Shaw zel I could potentially see that
9482s pick coming in zipping still available
9484s as we head into phase three farot will
9486s not be though we're going to see K T225
9489s locking in the takada wbg spider
9491s blocking in teada as well and who are
9494s the two other picks going to be nobody
9497s knows the number of uh Zips that have
9500s been locked in so these picks could be
9503s quite interesting another teada you know
9505s I was about to call it I was about to
9507s say I I bet we see Wang Le Yang's teada
9510s one of the big pioneers of taking a
9515s character like deada on one of those
9517s lobbies one of those games that you
9519s would typically see fers and zipping and
9522s that sort of thing and trying to sort of
9525s flip it on its head go for those Realms
9527s of Yang and trying to find these
9529s isolated fights because in terms of
9531s actual dueling potential if you manage
9534s to lock down some of these characters
9536s when they don't have an escape you're
9538s they're cooked you know teada will
9540s absolutely obliterate you so you got to
9544s be careful yeah and uh hey there's quite
9546s a few deers running around in this game
9549s we have a spider as well woo exciting I
9554s think it was T225 as well and in the
9556s last one as the also as teada but yeah
9559s not that much Hardy we had one Hardy at
9562s the very end yeah four fers I think it
9565s was wait what wait wait did pandaman
9569s pick t wait wait wait wait did he who
9572s where did that come from was a selection
9574s change man hold on the pandaman is going
9576s to be playing Turka into this Lobby
9578s hello what excuse me hold on heyo got to
9581s take a look here G Shaw on that Z will
9583s be running the V2 F1 no real big
9585s surprise is there in terms of the
9587s ability choices taking a look at zel
9589s who's going to be running V2 F1 on the
9594s Tessa yeah yep not surprising now we
9598s talked about this I talked about this
9600s with Moxy a little bit
9602s how Tessa or the zel was taking V2 to
9607s try and deal with these Hardies so if
9610s they do disengage fly up to the sky you
9614s can do a little bit of damage to that
9616s orange health bar meaning so that if
9619s they that's that's that much less damage
9622s you need to do to knock them out of
9624s flight but Panda man my boy rocking the
9628s Fire Dog on game number three I love to
9633s see it look I expected to see TKA I'm
9635s not going to lie but I expected to see
9636s TKA coming out from Pand man on these
9638s Firefly Maps where he can really utilize
9641s that ultimate to his Advantage he does
9643s have Firefly cages he could potentially
9648s immedate if he heads ruins there but is
9653s going to tell this is quite the
9655s interesting choice coming in from the
9657s panda man indeed it's
9661s definitely it definitely can work you
9664s know the lobby isn't completely chalk
9667s full of barers and zipping there's Tada
9670s there's a hardi there is obviously some
9674s zipping there's a a couple zipping I
9677s think were picked in the first stage and
9679s then we have four fers yeah and then we
9682s have a Tessa and a zy so Z isn't really
9685s the best match up for taka not so great
9689s all the rest of them are some of them
9692s are a little bit better than others it
9693s depends on the situation so for example
9695s with teada if teada doesn't have the
9699s ability to make enough space between
9702s himself and taka as in he doesn't have
9705s enough
9706s like room to move around so that he can
9708s waste taka's ultimate timer cuz that is
9711s one of the keys to coming out on top in
9713s the teada versus Taco match up instead
9715s of going for those situations where you
9717s look to read the punch timing you simply
9720s try and run down the clock just a little
9722s bit since your ultimate not only lasts
9724s longer but if you don't use the actual
9727s demonic blades the furance blast in
9730s during that ultimate timer you keep the
9733s rage yeah well not only that but into
9735s that mat up realistically if you're Tara
9738s the objective is to land a hit confirm
9740s into uppercut before they activate the
9743s ultimate because then he has no way out
9746s of the infinite there is just nothing
9748s that teada can do to get away and like
9752s you said it is all about timing you were
9754s trying to hold on to that ultimate as
9755s teada to buy yourself an opening so that
9759s you have those furin to buy yourself out
9762s of the potential infinite but because
9764s Tarka ultimate lasts as long as it does
9767s you have to run that clock out just a
9769s little bit so you don't end up in a
9771s position where you spend them too early
9774s and then all of a sudden you're still
9776s getting infinited anyway absolutely you
9779s can always potentially look for the the
9782s raw Dragon you know with the katana just
9785s straight up not what like not in
9788s Ultimate to start with you get that Uppa
9790s on the katana you activate the alt at
9793s the top of the Uppa animation pushes the
9796s player forwards catch them with the
9798s aerial lmbb instant Dodge cancel into
9800s the uppercuts and you just keep it going
9803s and prevent the ultimate from being
9805s activated completely but because you're
9807s doing it without having committed your
9809s ultimate before the uppercut it's it's
9812s sort of out of nowhere you know like
9814s it's the perfect transition into it and
9816s it's it's rather devastating if you're
9818s able to pull it off
9820s consistently however as a deada you
9824s should not get in you should not be
9826s getting infinite realistically you
9828s should always be using your
9831s ultimate right like before you even come
9834s close to it you have the Liberty to do
9836s that because your ultimate lasts longer
9839s and because you can keep the charge if
9841s you don't use the blades there's no
9843s reason not to use your ultimate agreed
9845s wholeheartedly as we take a look sha
9847s lock itting in here this game's going to
9849s be very very interesting I'm so excited
9851s for us to go ahead and get locked in and
9855s get going here I'm not quite sure uh why
9857s we haven't started just yet it looks
9859s like we are about to go ahead and move
9861s right on into the start of this match
9863s finally there we go okay pandaan not
9865s going to be on the TKA I think maybe
9868s there was a uh misinput or something
9871s during the selection phase and that's
9872s why we saw Pand tar he is indeed locked
9875s in on that ferious gen pick that he was
9878s locking ladies and gentlemen so we are
9881s going to go back to kind of the standard
9883s but we do have a lot more teada this
9885s time around we do have GG Shaw coming in
9888s and deciding that he wants to to run
9891s that Z and zel continuing with the
9893s interesting picks will be coming in on
9896s that Tessa indeed I think it's I think
9899s it's a pretty strong pick the F1
9902s allowing you to have not one but two
9905s instances of protection once you use it
9907s you then have those little Foxfire
9910s Flames floating around you for a certain
9911s amount of time that if you get hit you
9912s will knock somebody away it can be
9915s dodged but still it is very very useful
9919s the V2 being usable at 55% giving you a
9923s lot of skirmishing power able to dip in
9926s and out of fights out of populated areas
9929s high traffic areas allows you to fight
9931s and then with V2 as well you're going to
9934s be receiving that healing on the pop on
9937s the activation of that charm at the very
9940s end of your ultimate so that in itself
9943s can also be extremely handy in those
9946s later zones when you aren't all that
9948s topped up on healing can be very very
9951s useful in the heal off taking a look
9953s here drg Akuma yet again dropping on
9956s Podium this time though crucially he's
9958s not going to be contested by zel so drg
9960s Akuma going to be coming into this game
9962s pretty early on with probably a
9965s legendary weapon or a legendary set of
9968s armor under his belt time is going to
9969s tell as we get ready to kick things off
9971s here in game three taking a look in on
9974s to Wang leang
9976s looking to find a little bit of loot
9977s here but nothing too crazy off the rip
9979s for him here Frost ofus with that blue
9981s dagger under his belt also trying to
9983s just go ahead and get some loot there as
9985s we turn immediately over here to pandaan
9988s versus I do believe that's J team's
9990s action action with the armor Advantage
9993s here both of them on a blue dual
9995s halberts Pand man going to find that RMB
9997s coming in off of the Dual ho he finds it
9999s twice and all of a sudden that armor
10001s Advantage is not much of an advantage
10003s there for action action doesn't look
10005s like he's got the shield pot steal up so
10007s he's going to be forced into a white
10009s armor swap here just to keep the fight
10011s going here with panda man and Pand man
10014s very happy about this ooh coming in
10015s there with the lmb off of those dual
10018s halberts will have the pot to reset
10021s again action trying to find a health pot
10023s but again I don't believe he has any
10025s Shield pots here in the tank so he's got
10027s to take this fight one way or the other
10029s trying to come back in he catches him on
10032s the upper there he catches him again
10033s looks for the scale Rush misses it but
10035s will go back to the neutral here loses
10037s out to the N there but we will find his
10040s own coming off of the R&B from the Dual
10042s halberts will pick up that elimination
10044s and a purple set of armor a huge start
10046s there for U's pandaan as we see zel go
10050s down to 5 21's unique unique continuing
10052s the fight here with jg's chuang as well
10055s in quite a good position off the back of
10057s the still using white duel halberts here
10059s but got a little bit of an armor
10061s Advantage there into jdg CH Jen CH Jen
10063s looking for it but the R&B coming in off
10065s the Dual Howard's going to do a lot of
10067s favors for him unique with the F
10069s available GG sha going to show up and
10070s now unique wanting to break away from
10073s this fight shot going to pressure in
10074s onto this he wants to see if he can pick
10076s up the elimination the ultimate going to
10078s come into save CH Jang there and unique
10081s wants to turn back onto this fight
10084s absolutely he do he does not want to let
10086s chuen get away with this engagement not
10091s going so well for him he does cut noise
10094s completely though
10096s I think he might have gotten away with
10098s it he actually gets out without any
10102s without having lost any more Health he
10104s just completely cuts the noise no
10106s healing no nothing waiting biing his
10109s time very nicely done with the foresight
10112s to think hey they're going to be
10113s listening out for that heal I'm just not
10116s going to do anything at all and wait and
10119s it pays off and he comes away with his
10121s life fortunately spider over here in the
10124s zone So speaking of firefly cages spider
10129s where he just was it looks as though he
10131s did get taken down he has gone over here
10134s resed up in this area and gone over to a
10139s firefly cage that spawns right close to
10141s where he just was but hey there we are
10144s the fight between Mike and spider spider
10147s initially in a very very advantageous
10150s situation but he doesn't he doesn't
10153s panic and he turns around with almost
10156s exactly the same combo horizontal Uppa
10159s into that weapon Swap and Mike ends up
10162s coming out on top yeah Mike there
10165s utilizing that vertical terrain of
10168s course to his Advantage he's able to hit
10170s him down the hill so they he can get the
10172s follow up into the weapon swap there for
10174s that huge damage turning now to ug's
10176s pandaan pandaan still in a great
10178s position he was able to get that purple
10179s armor uh from that earlier engagement
10181s now a fight breaking out between A's
10183s Mike and xcg Wang the pillar invested
10186s here by Mike on to wangang wangang
10189s backing away he doesn't want to take the
10190s fight near the pillar this is clearly
10192s wangang trying to bait Mike away from
10195s that pillar he does not want to take the
10197s fight there he knows it's a bad
10199s situation the furin going to come up
10201s there the ultimate activated how many
10203s charges does he have we will see the
10205s first one will connect onto Mike Mike
10206s trying to get back to the pillar full on
10209s here he has managed to take it all the
10212s way back there and wangang doesn't
10214s really want to take this fight on top of
10216s this and sure enough I wangang B you
10220s baited him away from the pillar as soon
10221s as he went back I would not have taken
10223s the fight I know you committed the
10224s ultimate there but this is not going in
10227s the way you wanted to the third party
10229s coming in as well from zel zel able to
10231s pick up the elimination and takes it out
10233s away from Mike pandaman in the kill feed
10236s also going to pick one up on to frost of
10238s his Mike going very low and uh zel
10240s actually in such a power position here
10242s cuz he's going to be coming in with the
10243s ultimate mik no p pill available to him
10246s whatsoever and zel knows that so he's
10248s going to start looking to take this
10250s fight Mike wants to turn onto it but
10251s this could be very dangerous for him zel
10254s looking for the Parry will find it this
10256s time around Mike going to be forced to
10257s use the F and now they're in a really
10259s good position Mike turns back finds the
10261s no old pillar here if he wants to
10263s continue the Chase he has to chase out
10265s of the no old Zone zel looking to come
10267s in here will walk into that Katana lmb
10270s is able to back away find a little bit
10271s of damage but Mike really in control of
10273s this fight here those musket shots doing
10275s a ton of damage the third party getting
10277s ready to come through it's going to be
10278s 's Pand man looking to make something
10279s happen we will see the ult come through
10282s and successfully hit onto Mike and Panda
10284s man zel so very low here Mike doesn't
10289s really care about the state of that
10291s ultimate onto their back here zel with
10292s no charge left in the tank here at 55%
10296s sending him all the way back down to 8%
10298s and now going to be forced to move away
10301s A's Mike looking for him going through
10303s the bushes here hasn't been able to lock
10305s onto him he's going to check this
10307s invisibility Bush doesn't really see
10309s anything is going to keep his game
10311s moving here cuz he knows he's got to get
10313s that ultimate back online he can't
10315s continue to take these fights with the
10317s potential third party with no out
10319s absolutely and he is running dangerously
10322s low on on grapples there he has managed
10325s to pick up a few for himself so he is
10327s going to be pretty happy and he's likely
10330s going to be heading on over to this
10331s realm of Yang farer being one of those
10335s characters they're going into Realms of
10336s Yang is what you want to do it is
10338s definitely the play as more often than
10341s not you can usually Come Away with
10343s either a draw or a win since you're able
10346s to stall out for so long you can do so
10348s so much with that turret especially now
10351s after the most recent Buffs to Faria but
10354s here we are looking to go into the realm
10357s of Yang T25 Mike Akuma oh but Akuma and
10362s Mike don't manage to get in unfor
10364s fortunately Mike initially taking the
10366s brunt of that chip damage Akuma with
10369s that gold staff he's looking to chase
10372s him down Mike swapping over to that fan
10375s for that mobility and for that that
10378s reduced stamina cost on those Dodges X
10382s oh that was beautifully done coming in
10385s with that Parry canceling the Parry
10388s animation swapping into that blue Focus
10390s since it's a single hit able to do the
10393s maximum amount of damage Frost of with
10395s Assassin's lunch catches X in slipping
10398s oh the clmb unfortunately he's not able
10400s to get the pillar drop there but I think
10404s it might be cooked for Action unless
10406s he's able to find some kind of heal it's
10409s not a very good situation to be in so so
10413s so low Frost of is having a huge Health
10416s Advantage he's just peppering him down
10418s he's out the me and there it is Frost
10420s ofers picking up his first win in the
10423s realm of yang for the day very nice to
10426s see him picking it up a little yeah
10428s absolutely he played that so well around
10431s Assassin's lunge as well the whole time
10433s he continued to threaten that space with
10435s the charged lmb on the dagger never
10437s showed the Ace in his back pocket till
10439s he guaranteed he was going to be able to
10441s land it and from there he shoves them
10444s away from their own pillar keeping acen
10446s from being able to do anything acen does
10448s manage to finally get back to the pillar
10449s but at that point he's so low he ate the
10452s backto back assassins lunch there's just
10453s nothing he can really except stall for
10455s time and there's the Assassins one
10457s coming back in this time on to jdg Chu
10459s Jang chujang look at that by the way oh
10461s my goodness the tiniest little scale
10463s rush off the wall there Frost is really
10466s minid maxing here his micro onto jdg CH
10469s Jang the pillar going to be invested Chu
10471s Jang just trying to get away he's so low
10473s and frostfit going to keep the chase
10474s going unfortunately the pillar doesn't
10476s connect we're going to see chuang come
10477s over the top side there the F going to
10479s be invested Frosty going to keep the
10481s hunt going there he manages to find the
10483s Clank there off of the scale Rush to
10485s keep juang locked down and frosty just
10487s needs to find a couple more hits here
10490s the ultimate will be invested it's not
10491s been popped on the side of jujang yet
10493s but Frost of is more than happy to keep
10495s the chase going here juang will find
10497s some huge damage off of the scale rush
10499s though Frost is coming up doesn't want
10501s to give him the opportunity the F
10502s reinvested yet again the bubble oh my
10504s goodness no Frost ofus gets too greedy
10506s here and he goes down ladies and
10508s gentlemen the very bar might will go
10510s away that was crazy aggression coming
10513s out from fost of that is the frost of us
10516s I like to see he just got so so ooly
10521s booly and almost obliterated chuang but
10525s fortunately chuang was able to make his
10528s way around that terrain around those
10530s buildings using them to his Advantage
10532s staying alive and at the same time
10535s putting out just enough damage that when
10537s it came down to it he was able to take
10539s him down with one more combo but there
10542s we are wbg spider having taken down I
10545s think it was zel spider got the kill
10547s onto zel he's running into this
10550s engagement Akuma and Mike both in the
10554s vicinity spider losing all of his armor
10556s forc a swap over to that blue armor the
10558s staffs going back and forth he's just
10561s getting bounced around spider he's
10563s trying to get up onto this terrain he
10565s did have multi Defiance it did save him
10568s for the moment thankfully it did
10570s considering that he
10572s hasoo he I think he did have this spider
10575s won the real of Yang no no wait no I'm
10578s I'm I'm I'm I I swear I I could have
10581s sworn I saw that red tint around him
10583s thinking that he'd won realm of Yang I
10585s must be tripping my eyes deceived me so
10588s there's a bounty on his head is what
10589s your
10590s bount that that's what it was turning
10593s back to frost of his here who
10595s unfortunately he kept the oo coming but
10597s he didn't pick up the elimination he
10598s wanted to outside the realm of Yang he
10600s is on three eliminations currently
10603s though I think that he did pick up
10604s another one since from of yeah so he's
10606s finally able to find some feet under
10609s himself here in game number three and
10610s this is what I was talking about he no
10612s way was he going to have two bad first
10615s games and come into game three and look
10616s to play passively that's not Frost of
10619s his style here as we turn back to wbg
10621s spider who's still trading blows with
10623s both of these players over here akum I
10625s do believe this drg's Akuma and A's Mike
10627s sitting right here he does have the F
10629s and he's only got one left in the tank
10631s though and this legendary staff putting
10633s in absolute work spider do even get the
10635s F out he gets put in the corner drg zaka
10638s picks up his first elimination of the
10640s lobby very nice that golden staff doing
10644s work so so much damage there little
10647s there little chunks there's a staff
10649s right to the Dome it's very very very
10652s impactful not only on that helper but on
10655s the mental getting chased down by a
10657s staff can be very taxing it is rather
10661s frustrating to deal with at times Akuma
10664s and Mike going as it right here both of
10667s them equalizing the damage that they
10669s deal to each other and now both of them
10671s op to go for that reset Mike on two
10674s kills Akuma on one he's looking to try
10677s and get a couple more for himself he's
10679s got a good opportunity to do so here as
10682s well considering that it's a relatively
10685s isolated fight but Mike I think he's not
10688s really about it I think he's looking to
10690s try and disengage considering that yet
10692s again he's managed to run out of
10695s grapples you definitely want some
10697s grapples you know I I got to mention as
10699s well we have six players completely
10701s eliminated from the lobby and we are
10702s only zone two collapsing onto zone three
10705s as we get ready to head to that second
10706s set of Realms of Yang J team section
10709s here playing around the ballista sees
10711s that nobody's going to sit on the
10712s ballista so he's going to immediately
10714s push away Chu Jang waiting to head down
10717s here to see if he can get into that
10718s realm of Yang as it comes through and
10720s sure enough he's going to be able to and
10723s to see if somebody challenges him here
10725s inside the realm of Yang time we'll tell
10727s he's got 38 seconds it looks like it's
10728s going to be A's Mike who might take the
10731s exact same portal in after him but maybe
10733s Mike decides better of it as he decides
10735s to just completely Zone away he's going
10737s to come check the Bell here and see if
10738s there's anybody else waiting around it
10741s doesn't look like he finds anybody off
10743s the back of the Bell here so chuang
10746s might actually get this realm of Yang
10747s for free that would be rather nice for
10751s him although I think Akuma might be
10755s interested he's looking he might be oh
10759s go on go on son get in there he's
10762s thinking about the O he's thinking
10765s akuma's going to take it but it's going
10766s to be A's Mike going head to-head with
10768s drg's Akuma and KLA will be heading in
10771s pandaan versus CH Jang ladies and
10775s gentlemen all three of them basically
10776s entering at the exact same timeing to go
10779s Airborne here with the legendary staff
10781s looking to make some hits land on to our
10784s boy Mike not going to quite find them
10785s but Mike Will land into the staff and
10788s some huge hits coming in for Akuma we're
10790s going to see the pillar and the F
10791s invested already he's trying to come in
10793s and create some distance between that
10794s pillar and Mike it doesn't look like
10796s he's going to be able to get it here oh
10797s he does get the shove away here Mike
10799s knows he's going to have to back up into
10801s this pillar very soon Akuma trying to
10802s force away there is going to use the old
10804s activation to get away from the
10806s follow-up damage Akuma trying to get the
10808s heals off unfortunately he doesn't get
10810s the Dodge there this is the worst case
10812s scenario he's way too far away from that
10814s pillar only one shot oh my goodness Mike
10819s ends the career of a man inside the
10822s realm of Yang unfortunate for Akuma that
10826s was a bit of an that was a bit of a
10828s greedy play there I must say he opts to
10832s cancel his ultimate as opposed to just
10834s flying up into the air and using that to
10837s heal as one of the biggest strengths of
10841s FIA in the realm of Yang is that you're
10843s able to use the turret shots on the
10846s pillars and the wall and consider and
10848s the splash damage is what's going to
10851s secure you the damage as opposed to
10853s actually Landing the shot dead on to a
10857s player actually hitting the pillar that
10860s they're standing close to is what's
10862s going to net you success and uh Akuma if
10865s he'd just simply gone up into the air
10867s flown around a bit he would have been a
10870s very hard target to hit out of the air
10873s and un fortunately a little bit greedy
10875s trying to save that ultimate for the for
10877s the real fight after the F and Mech gets
10881s pulled out or gets gets finished yeah
10884s yeah he gets taken down unfortunately
10886s but it looks as though Chu Zang also
10888s having been taken down in the r of Yang
10890s he's got a soul Bloom stashed away
10891s somewhere he's gone very very far into
10895s the zone that is potentially even a
10898s little too far you might say there 700 M
10903s I think he there has to be a soul Bloom
10905s directly stashed between him and this
10908s Resurrection so but the problem is is
10911s yeah the heal is getting ready to come
10913s through he's able to get one heal off I
10915s don't know if he's going to be able to
10916s make it back
10917s here yeah it take a look here T225 for
10921s KLA who did win that real of Yang into
10923s Chang taking a fight here with J team's
10925s action trying to make something happen
10927s here with the dagger looking for it ooh
10929s is that assassin lung yet again coming
10931s in T225 it will find the furin will miss
10935s the follow-up charge to lmb
10936s unfortunately now T25 has got to back
10939s away from this 25% damage reduction
10941s looking to do a little bit of help here
10943s for him but he doesn't have the ultimate
10945s he has the one fuin left he sends it out
10947s unfortunately that is going to be it for
10948s the ultimate tt25 needs to break away
10951s and find a little place to go for a
10952s reset he's got a little hidey-hole up
10954s here as the Fight Continues to break up
10955s between drg zaka and J team's action
10958s indeed action trying to put in work with
10961s that fa doing as much damage as he can
10964s can before that ultimate is going to be
10967s taken down and there it is the timer tis
10970s away and he's now immediately back into
10972s the action engaging onto T25 another
10975s player who does not have his ultimate
10977s available looks like Akuma and Mike are
10980s on the hunt Akuma especially considering
10983s that he is in desperate need of that
10986s Soul Bloom to cleanse the Yang depletion
10989s does get shot in the back just there
10991s from frost ofous I think it is Frost
10993s ofous having been lurking somewhere I'm
10996s not sure where he's been but he's
10998s finally back in the action he's got that
11002s gold dual blades he's looking to try and
11004s find an Avenue to engage potentially
11007s come in for that third party T25 still
11010s not even at 50% of his ultimate ooh the
11013s Starfall coming in from Akuma locking
11016s down T225 for just a moment but it looks
11019s as though it's not going to net him all
11021s that much successful oh Akuma eats a lot
11025s of damage forced to use that F2 and now
11027s immediately into the ultimate as well
11029s Mike trying to shoot him out of the air
11031s but with no
11032s success T25 popping that zero ban not
11037s the zero ban the three ban Zone that Fox
11040s Tower making it so that any player who
11043s goes inside this Dome cannot use their
11047s ultimate they cannot use it at all so
11050s it's a it's a pretty decent spot to be
11053s in if you don't have an ultimate for
11055s yourself tt25 he's still being put under
11058s a considerable amount of pressure he has
11059s no armor he's trying to find a moment to
11061s heal but Mike is not going to let him
11062s and there it is he sends out that blue
11064s and Mike gets the parry and the kill
11067s pick up Akuma unfortunately though he
11070s comes over to the body but there's no
11071s soul Bloom he just sat in the zone Mike
11074s he's like what what's this guy doing
11076s what okay
11079s bye oh my goodness Akuma will go down to
11083s to A's mik here the Yang depletion 12
11086s seconds left remaining not a whole lot
11088s that he can do four players left
11089s remaining here as zone four won't be
11091s collapsing on zone 5 for another 60
11094s seconds but it looks like we're about to
11095s lose another one as J team's action just
11098s starts to obliterate jg's chuang here
11100s chuang still has the old in the F in the
11102s back pocket here but action just has got
11104s his number ladies and gentlemen chuang
11107s unfortunate here will come back in with
11110s a long sword of his own finds quite a
11112s bit of value but action is able to break
11114s away here keeping the chase going juang
11117s on the backside here still with ultimate
11119s tion going to look for the opportunity
11121s for a single pot here CH Jang will find
11123s a pot of his own and we will see Tower
11126s watch start to come in extion looked
11128s like he completely had Dr or sorry jdg
11131s chujang completely locked down there had
11134s his number but chujang able to break
11136s away off the strength of zipping Yang
11138s indeed able to get to that Tower make it
11141s making it to the tower is always what
11144s you want to look to do if you're in a
11147s rough situation being able to go round
11150s and round or up and down all around the
11154s tower it becomes extremely difficult to
11157s catch you especially is that zipping
11159s especially if you have a speedy weapon
11161s like fan or anything along those lines
11164s you are very very hard to catch action
11168s he's just uh he's getting a bird's eye
11170s view he's looking around he's trying to
11171s find himself a Target to potten
11174s you know send a little bit of a little
11176s bit of Cannon there way you know a
11177s little bit of damage potentially look
11179s for an opening try and get some damage
11182s in but here we are going over to a
11184s replay tp5 and chuang in the r with Yang
11188s tp5 with that Assassin's lunge catching
11191s chuang off the pillar oh and the furance
11194s blast is swapping over to the P sword
11196s for that vertical sprinting R&B would
11199s have caught a whole Dodge out very
11202s nicely done SHO Zen though man that we
11205s were just watching die in the realm of
11207s Yang now almost almost dead outside of
11211s the realm of Yang getting pressured by
11214s every single one of these players in the
11216s vicinity he's so unbelievably low he
11217s uses that F1 to try and keep himself
11219s alive just a tiny bit longer he's
11221s desperately trying to kite with this
11224s long sword with this Phoenix blast he
11226s does a considerable man of damage to
11228s frosters frosters does manage to come in
11229s and pick up that Soul Bloom but oh oh I
11232s thought Mike was immediately going to
11233s jump on Frost ofus but maybe not Mike
11236s he's more interested in the F he's
11238s coming in action taking a a crazy amount
11242s of damage forced to use that V3 forced
11245s to use that ultimate and it's already
11248s over Mike sends out the cannon shot and
11251s immediately repairs doesn't even look at
11254s it cool guys don't look at explosions
11257s and here we are ladies and gentlemen the
11259s 1 V one we've been waiting for A's Mike
11262s versus El Frost
11264s seven kills onto Mike can he make it
11266s eight or will frost ofus be able to pick
11269s up his fourth elimination of the game
11271s they've equalized their health Frost of
11273s going for those overh holds he's trying
11274s to find the entry but unfortunately he
11277s does get parried on the overh hold Mike
11279s catching him with some ship damage and
11281s there it is again Mike with another
11283s beautiful Parry catching Frost ofus
11285s breing him like a BG Frost ofis with the
11288s no mixup mixup
11290s unfortunately that's not going to trick
11292s Mike he a ugly Boer and he takes his
11296s second
11297s MVP of the day not only is it his second
11301s MVP it's his second eight elimination
11304s first place finish which means he's
11305s going to be walking away with another
11307s game score of
11310s 14.2 A's Mike is out here and he is not
11314s out here to play ladies and gentlemen he
11317s said he was coming for the title and he
11318s came in and I told you he was not going
11320s to let that disrespect from day one slot
11323s A's Mike comes in and finds his second
11326s MVP of the day the back to back that's
11329s two grand that's a whole lot of cheda in
11331s his pocket just for taking them MVPs
11333s here today absolutely and he is bound to
11336s be very happy with himself he slides the
11339s chair back from the desk and he's back
11342s in his little chit chat with spider he's
11345s like oh yeah so you saw this oh spider's
11348s like
11350s w oh my goodness Frost is not happy
11353s about this turnour of events this was
11354s shaping up to be his game he was there
11357s in that Lobby there was four players
11359s left alive Frost ofis is like all right
11361s I'm going to set up these kills I'm
11362s going to knock him down he sets it up
11364s what happens AOW Mike knocks it down he
11366s sets up the next one Mike says nope too
11369s late Cannon shot coming through I'm
11371s going to knock this one down again and
11373s then he goes all right at least I can
11374s win the 1 V one right and then like you
11376s said the no mixup mixup not being enough
11380s like you said Mike too much of an oo and
11383s the booger to come in and fall for what
11386s am I watching right now spider just like
11389s spider's like get out of here I'm
11391s supposed to be the one with the back to
11392s back MVPs what are you doing oh my
11395s goodness ao's mik with the backto back
11398s eight elimination first place finishes
11401s for double game scores of
11404s 14.2 that's a total game score from two
11407s games of
11412s 28.4 is pre-finals ladies and
11415s gentlemen these these these players they
11417s come they coming for that title they're
11419s coming to win they didn't come to play
11422s they came to win look again I mean my
11423s man A's Mike is walking in and he says
11425s look I've got all of the spices on
11428s display you know what I'm saying cuz I
11429s came to cook in the kitchen the
11432s San you know hey he's cooking up a oh
11436s yeah AB kills in both games doing an
11438s amazing job and the thing is I'm rather
11441s surprised that we're seeing these MVPs
11444s in the first set of games Mike usually
11447s he's he thrives in the chaos with all of
11451s these fireflies and all of these crazy
11453s characters these dueling characters but
11456s instead we're seeing him pop off in
11458s these first three games where you have
11460s your faers and your zipping and all of
11464s that usually it's spider spider does
11467s very well in this kind of environment
11470s but unfortunately he's not been able to
11472s find much traction so
11474s far maybe he's going to maybe the maybe
11476s the Flip's been switched you know maybe
11478s spider's going to come in with some
11480s crazy games in our second part of the
11483s day you know in our second half of the
11484s day with all these fireflies I'm very
11487s excited to see yeah look SP spider
11489s spider needs to make it happen here
11491s unfortunately you got to remember these
11493s games do count towards the grand finals
11496s you're going to be taking 50% of those
11498s points with you so spider if he wants to
11500s come out on top of his rival AOW Mike he
11503s really needs to find some traction under
11505s those feeds cuz yet again ladies and
11506s gentlemen that is eight eliminations
11508s that is a first place finish and a game
11510s score of 14.2 Frost ofus though will
11513s find his biggest game of the day here
11515s with three eliminations and a second
11517s place finish for a game score of 6.2 6.2
11521s that is pretty solid consistency ladies
11524s and gentlemen that is the name of the
11526s game we talk about it all the time you
11529s know the drill if you're consistent
11532s throughout the day you will more often
11535s than not end up sitting relatively
11537s comfortably at the top of the
11539s leaderboard but thing is Frost ofus
11542s hasn't been consistent today he needs to
11545s find a big pop off game like A's Mike
11547s has been able to find in the last two
11549s and this is the thing it's frostz
11550s definitely had set himself up for
11552s Success here and that's what he was
11554s aiming for but A's Mike is able to
11556s snatch it away from him to find another
11560s huge game as we take a look at the
11561s overall standings here are your bottom
11563s six ladies and gentlemen 5 21's unique
11565s GG sha J team's action Oh's Panda man in
11569s eighth we have o wn's zeling and in
11572s seventh we have drg's Akuma which means
11574s frost has moved relatively ahead he has
11577s moved out of the bottom six and he's
11579s heading into the top six I do believe
11580s he's going to be in sixth place off the
11582s back of this game we're going to see
11584s momentarily as we shift those
11586s scoreboards to our top six sure enough
11588s there it is Frosty baby here off the
11589s back of this game moves into six place
11591s for a total score of 7.7 wbg spider just
11595s ahead of him at a 10.1 just ahead of him
11597s as JTG sh Jang at 11.2 K's T225 ahead of
11601s both of them at 13 and with a huge
11604s consistency in their first two games xcg
11607s is Wang Lang with a game score of 15.3
11609s and that's even considering the fact
11610s that he walked away with a big fat zero
11613s this game but A's Mike yet again
11616s 31.8 total points after his first three
11620s games that is a total of 10 points per
11622s game average the man is coming out he is
11625s not coming to play more than double Wang
11629s Le Yang points so second place has less
11634s than half what first place that's that's
11636s crazy that's crazy Mike just hey he's
11641s he's shown why he did so well in these
11643s in the mvpl this most recent split he's
11646s been showing up he's just doing he's
11648s just having a good time you know he's
11650s chilling with spider he's he's having
11653s some banther he's he's vibing and he's
11656s putting up those big numbers on the
11659s board we got some nice little highlights
11660s here this was very nice from chuing
11663s managing to turn this very dire
11666s situation into a winning one picking up
11668s his third elimination frosters came in
11671s with that aggression but unfortunately
11673s he just wasn't able to hold him down he
11675s wasn't able to close out that kill
11678s unfortunately Xin cleansing this Yang
11680s depletion fortunately for himself Mike
11683s this was a very strange interaction Mike
11685s gets the kill onto tt5 and then Akuma he
11689s just sort of sat there looting the body
11690s in the zone and Mike's like wait you're
11692s still there okay he just sends him he
11695s sends him back to the lobby this was
11697s this was very nice for Mike and no mix
11699s up mix up boom he knows the blue is
11701s coming the vle aura and there it is Mike
11705s he doesn't fall for that he yeah no you
11709s know and this is funny because Frost
11710s vist got away with it during the group
11712s stages so I think Mike knew in his head
11714s that Frost was going to look for that
11716s Abyss Aura the second time like you said
11718s the no mixup mixup but Mike has done his
11721s homework he's been here watching the
11722s games and clearly he has learned the
11724s pattern of some of these players eight
11725s eliminations 23,000 damage five paries
11728s in this game what a stat mhm absolutely
11733s and not only five pares that was his
11735s fifth MVP taking him up to the spider
11740s level you know the level that spider is
11744s currently sitting on by himself now
11748s there are two players with five MVPs so
11751s far in this J Cup Tournament yeah
11754s absolutely they truly are Rivals spider
11758s and Mike they refer to each other as
11760s Rivals they're best friends they're
11762s having a great time but they are yeah
11765s yeah they're just right up there
11766s together you know just chilling vibing
11769s looking down and just hey you you coming
11771s up here boys you Frosty yo get up here
11774s bro yeah Frosty what you doing come
11776s on W where you guys at got here early to
11781s to to be fair Wang Lang is kind of on
11783s fire today those first two games hyper
11786s consistent he does find himself not
11788s having a great game in game three but
11789s this is something we discuss all the
11791s time right realistically in six games
11793s the odds of you having six hyper
11796s consistent games across the board very
11798s very low you are going to find one game
11801s where things don't quite go go your way
11803s and for Wang leang that one game not
11806s that big of a deal he's still sitting in
11808s second place and he put no points on the
11810s board in the last game that's how
11812s consistent his first two games were so
11814s moving forward you can bet Wang langang
11816s is going to find some consistency going
11818s to find some big pop off games because
11820s those were nonf Firefly Maps we're going
11823s to be heading into those Firefly Maps he
11826s hasn't busted out the teada yet either
11828s and teada is a hero that he is very well
11830s known for quite literally like I said he
11833s he's holding on to he might played it
11835s one time no did he play it one time I'm
11837s not 100% sure whether he did or not I'm
11839s not 100% sure but I'm sure we'll find
11841s out later yeah exactly I'm not sure if
11843s he's going to go for the double pick
11845s though even if he if he's cuz the Mets
11848s is kind of shifted you know a lot of a
11850s lot of players they're going for the
11851s double Hardy potentially double FIA even
11854s occasionally a double zipping you know
11856s we double Justina as well come through
11858s especially into these Firefly Maps
11860s Justina is such a strong pick into the
11863s early game especially cuz she doesn't
11865s have to scale off of her weapon so she's
11867s going to find so much value out of those
11870s early fireflies but ladies and gentlemen
11871s that is going to be it from me and
11873s Duncan we throw things over the EG and
11874s when you come back you're going to find
11875s two new casters right here at the desk
11878s take
11881s you hi everyone this is and
11883s welcome to post game interview and now
11885s I'm standing here with our player and
11887s like him say hello to our audience hello
11889s guys uh I'm
11890s Frost why well welcome welcome first
11893s leave us to our postgame interview and
11895s first cuz I think that you really did
11898s good job but when he come to the
11900s postgame interview room and he just told
11902s me he was not that happy so I would like
11905s to know why uh I was trying to change my
11909s strategy uh like the hero picks but uh I
11912s ended up using the same strategy and of
11914s course I ended up not doing too well in
11916s the first three games okay see so maybe
11919s we can looking forward to the rest of
11921s game cuz you have a better performance
11923s right yeah really looking forward okay
11925s so now we know today is the pre Grand
11928s Final so I would like to know compare
11930s with the group stage so anything
11932s different cuz we saw that there's more
11935s Hardy more players using Hardy now in
11938s the solo gam so how's your feeling uh I
11941s myself was also about to pick Hadi but I
11943s feel like he's not the best pick like uh
11945s for the first three games MH so uh I'm
11949s expecting even like more hardi picks
11951s like on the last three games
11953s yeah okay okay I see and I think it's
11956s time for us to move on to next part and
11958s so for
11960s Treasure so you guys can see the
11962s question on screen if you know the
11963s answer just type them in the chat box
11966s after our player counting 3 2 1 we will
11969s take a screenshot and the lucky go will
11971s be whisper so let's see to this's
11973s question which player got the most kills
11977s in this match so I think you know the
11980s answer but we don't tell the audience
11982s okay so I would like to know cuz in the
11984s end of the game three we saw that you
11986s fighting with Mike so I would like to
11987s know how's your feeling at that time and
11989s how you comment on this player you can
11992s just get higher and closer okay uh I'm
11994s not I'm not too happy with that fight uh
11996s I got paed two times which never should
11998s have happened and can
12000s we oh
12003s yeah uh I'm not too happy with that
12006s fight uh I should never have gone
12008s parried two times of course and I don't
12011s know maybe I I was panicking and of
12013s course Mike is a monster he he won two
12016s games in a row with like a lot of kills
12018s oh he's like a monster right yeah and I
12021s think you prepared and let's start
12023s counting okay uh 3 2 1 screenshot okay
12028s let's find out the correct answer please
12030s uh the correct answer is c yeah the
12033s correct answer is C and thank you and
12035s also we still have the rest of the game
12037s and I would like to know proa so today
12041s is the preg Grand Final so what's your
12043s ambition now in Shanghai uh for my
12046s ambition I would say I would try to get
12049s as much Point as possible for the finals
12051s and I'm aiming for maybe 25 to 30 points
12055s oh really high score and I think that's
12058s you are maybe different from other
12060s players cuz they are like their ambition
12062s most of the is the play but your
12065s ambition is the score the points in the
12067s matches okay and we looking forward to
12069s the rest of game and what we can say is
12071s cheer up okay thank you for today's
12073s interview and we will take a break and
12074s be right back
12077s later Frost is nuts ice cold Frost is a
12082s very very interesting player he's been
12084s able to play in multiple different
12086s regions Frost is a cross region Champion
12089s he knows how certain people are probably
12091s going to play in different areas he's a
12093s lovely guy he's got great energy and I
12095s think he's
12097s [Music]
12100s veryable my name is trus and I am from
12103s Indonesia my great grandparents were
12105s born in China as a native and my grandfa
12108s moved to Indonesia to marry my grandma
12110s they gave me a Chinese name uh lim
12113s shaolong as in a devoted
12116s Dragon I started playing raqa during the
12118s Chinese beta even before the global
12121s version came out I was playing with my
12123s friend M to practice before the game was
12125s released uh in total I have 4,300 hours
12128s in nakaka and I love nakaka because it
12131s is a skillful game that is why I love
12133s n and as a longtime player he's one of
12136s the few players that I actually would
12138s glean new strategies from and learn
12141s things about the game with every
12143s encounter that I had with him so I think
12145s it's going to be really exciting to see
12147s how he performs jakup this year it is my
12150s first time uh participating in jaob I
12153s missed previous jaob because of school I
12155s had to fly to either North America or
12158s southeast Asia during the qualifying
12160s tournament and I ended up
12162s my chance to go to Jacob even though I
12165s have won a harder tournament considering
12167s qualifiers was easier than what the
12170s tournament I have won the biggest
12172s tournament that I have won so far is
12174s celestal cup season 1 Asian challenge in
12177s Southeast Asia and
12183s then the fact that he's been able to
12186s perform at a very high level in all of
12188s these regions and all of these rank
12189s leader boards and all of that and these
12191s tournaments as well
12192s what he's been able to learn from all of
12195s these different players the timings of
12198s all different attacks and all that sort
12199s of stuff changes depending on that and
12201s it creates a deeper understanding in the
12204s game uh the biggest difference I think
12206s is that any when the stakes are high
12210s they play slower and less
12213s aggressive meanwhile for C no matter
12216s what the stakes are they will always
12218s play aggressive so for Frost ofis in
12222s terms of knowledge he definitely has a
12225s wider wider scale of an advantage than
12228s like I'm going to say at least more than
12229s half of the solo teams no offense to
12232s another half no offense to the other
12233s teams though I believe in everybody but
12236s having that much knowledge and to win
12240s both well I can always go back to the
12242s old old song from ludicrous move get out
12248s the way get out the
12250s way he's coming in strong and he's
12253s slaying everybody just be careful
12256s somebody that has that much knowledge
12257s and that much game sense in all
12259s different regions all I'm saying is if
12261s he's coming my way I'm going to try to
12263s lure him to another
12274s [Music]
12281s player
12288s [Music]
12336s [Music]
12345s hello everybody and welcome back to the
12348s nraa blade Point 2023 J cup pre-finals
12353s we're well you're definitely cleaning up
12355s today someone else has been cleaning up
12357s so far is Mike coming in with backto
12360s back MVPs I mean it's expected I mean
12363s Mike has been really really locked in
12366s because mind you this is just about
12367s points so obviously he's going to make
12368s sure that he maintains and gets as much
12371s points as possible knowing that those
12372s points are going to get cut in half and
12374s that he's going to have to stack the
12375s moment he flies and lands in jenu yeah I
12378s mean like Dobby has mentioned this is
12380s the pre-finals if you do not know what
12382s that means it does mean that all of
12384s these six matches that these players
12386s play at the end of the day the total
12388s score that they're able to accumulate
12390s will be like dbby said split into 50%
12393s 50% of those points they'll leave here
12395s in Shanghai 50% however they'll be
12398s fitting into the luggage and taking over
12400s to Chang do and that means for a lot of
12403s these players it's incredibly important
12405s to come in with a very good score
12408s because if you go to changu and you
12409s start off a little bit rough a couple of
12411s you know matches maybe don't go your way
12414s having those 50% of points to be able to
12416s fall back on to is going to be
12417s absolutely instrumental in being able to
12419s keep their mental on track especially
12422s knowing that you're going to be going up
12424s against some of the best of the best
12426s here for nraa and speaking of the best
12428s of the best make sure to follow us here
12429s at Tik Tok on Twitch on Twitter um @
12433s norac Esports there's a lot of different
12434s drops and also make sure you guys are
12436s already paying attention so far you guys
12438s probably have you guys have been
12439s answering questions throughout so we got
12441s some questions that we're going to be
12441s throwing you guys both predictions and
12444s after game questions as well and follow
12446s us on Kick as well coming up so so as of
12449s right now like you said back to backs
12450s for Mike just feeling it out doing super
12453s super well a lot of these players
12454s definitely keeping some composure Wang
12456s leang also really surprising us as well
12459s here I mean he's he's been he's been
12460s under the radar I I don't know if that
12462s was a surprise is the thing Wang leang
12465s is a very very smart player who's been
12467s able to play a whole lot of nraa and as
12470s a result he's very very keyed into how a
12473s lot of these other players like to play
12476s wherever or not they play incredibly
12477s aggressive or whether or not they play
12479s incredibly passive but you're definitely
12481s not going to want to be passive to that
12483s giveaway that just popped up on the
12485s lower half of that screen that QR code
12488s scan it it will take you to the page
12490s make sure that you're going to be able
12491s to enter it cuz that's going to be
12493s wrapping real soon absolutely here so so
12496s far um overall it's been really really
12500s strong but we do have another one that's
12503s going to be coming up news flash there
12504s goes the next question will the player
12507s who gets the most kills play as toada in
12509s this match is it going to be a yes or no
12511s this is the easy one oh this is the easy
12513s one I'm not going to say easy in terms
12515s of the guessing but y'all know who's
12516s doing well so the question is are they
12518s going to pick teada yes or no make sure
12521s to put your answers in chat I ain't
12522s going to say nothing I I'm I might be a
12524s fortune teller but I'm not a prediction
12526s teller you see what I'm saying I can't
12527s do both at the same time it really
12529s depends well I mean we can definitely
12531s give them a little bit more info to have
12532s to work with right we are moving away
12534s from holl off we didn't see a whole
12535s bunch of deaders there the one huge
12538s reason there were no increased fireflies
12540s now however we head to the second half
12543s of the day which means we're here
12544s replacing both Duncan and run but it
12546s also means that we head over to Morris
12548s Isle and that means back to back to back
12551s by for light increase map rate which is
12554s your favorite because there's a lot of
12556s aggression that comes with that I know
12559s it's perfect for that like the perfect
12560s hero to be able to play off of those
12562s fireflies is teada there are so many
12564s lines in teada fights that rely off of
12567s you having that ultimate to be able to
12569s activate to extend into being able to
12571s find things like the touch of death that
12572s and justtina as well I think justtina
12574s also falls really well we do see a lot
12576s of lot of Justina so we'll probably
12578s definitely see some justinas push
12580s heavily which a lot of people definitely
12582s pick those two as like their game five
12584s and game six picks because like they
12586s know they can use their aggression
12587s towards it a lot of their ultis have so
12589s much of an advantage as well not only
12591s from a offensive say standpoint but also
12593s defensive as well so you get kind of The
12595s Best of Both Worlds when it comes to
12597s playing these both characters so most of
12598s the time they save those for last I am
12602s expecting I don't know there definitely
12604s was some hotti pig say I'm expecting I'm
12606s expecting bit expect see a little bit
12608s Cosmo flying around you know give a nice
12610s little we we you know nice little
12611s haircuts to people you know what I'm
12613s saying someone's got their hands on the
12615s Hy extreme skin with that nickname
12617s forward I'm a little bit have you seen
12619s it he has a black hole in the middle of
12621s his chest all I'm saying is is let's
12623s just just just hear me out okay hear me
12625s outa this is to the producers if y'all
12627s can hear me hottie but as a hairdresser
12630s right like real clean real clean
12633s gorgeous long flowing 16in weave just
12637s absolutely
12638s laid would would it change with the
12640s extreme cuz like I mean all of our
12642s heroes do have extreme versions of like
12644s their ultimates right where you get that
12646s cosmetic and it changes the look of it
12648s until Yodo actually just got hers that
12650s changes the blade into being on fire
12652s would you give
12654s Hardy barbershop shars that would be so
12657s crazy actually that would be kind of
12659s cool that would be kind of cool I'm not
12661s going to lie I think that' be fire
12663s giving people haircuts hey be careful
12665s you might be next to the chair
12668s baby well we're definitely going to be
12670s seeing a couple of parties in the barber
12673s shop when they head into those realm of
12675s yangs he very much is and very quickly
12677s rising to prominence in The Meta I know
12680s the guys already mentioned this it's
12681s very interesting a lot of these players
12683s from CN actually had discounted party it
12686s had actually been the meeting of the na
12688s region players that gave the CN players
12692s reason to actually pick up and push
12694s party into that pit crate and as a
12698s result we are seeing some really fun
12700s things being UTI ized with him Mike has
12702s been impressing on the Hardy coming in
12705s with the Mind Games when he's going up
12707s against the teada you know making sure
12709s that all of those furin shelves are
12710s going to be baited out and then coming
12712s in with that one last triple charge to
12714s be able to connect in when he's not
12716s going to get clashed out of the sky by
12718s the furan shelf it's Point Season baby
12721s it's time to keep it locked and loaded
12722s and stay focused for a player like
12724s frostivus so far he's been in the really
12728s good position here sadly he's not really
12730s been able to up an insane amount of
12732s eliminations in these last two or two
12734s games but he's still in there terms of
12736s placement he's still able to last he's
12738s still able to find his Niche his little
12741s corner and still be able to fight and
12743s make sure that not a lot of people are
12744s seeing him as a Target to get picked off
12746s but now he needs to start getting some
12748s eliminations he's got three more games
12750s left to do it and question is how's he
12752s going to do that well one of our players
12754s who's definitely happy with that
12755s performance so far T225 had a little bit
12758s of a rough start to the day but was very
12760s very smallart not identified if he
12762s played to the late game when he was on
12764s that F on holl off he was able to
12766s capitalize off on the V3 as the Zone
12768s claps in and came up with a lot more
12770s kills in a very rapid fashion as we are
12773s going to see the players who are in
12775s phase one now moov down to phase three J
12779s team's action ug's pandaman El's Frost
12782s ofus and A's Mike all getting to pick
12785s their Heroes first as we head over from
12789s holl off to moris Firefly is now going
12791s to be increased spawn on the map
12794s aggressive hero picks for sure as
12798s everyone is going to want to fight right
12799s off the
12801s rip and that's what we want that's what
12803s we love that's what we appreciate that's
12804s why being in the third half is oh so so
12807s so sweet those moments being able to
12809s absolutely come through knowing that
12810s that aggression is going to be very
12812s strong off the rip and here comes the PS
12813s coming in as we get three hodies and a
12816s tul well hard is now immediately banned
12818s out tul is actually a very interesting
12820s pick to see and I I think we're going to
12821s see a lot of these players in phase two
12823s potentially pick up the tul yeah this is
12825s very much damage control on the hero
12827s right you have the combat breaker on
12829s your F you have the ultimate that a lot
12831s of the time really does ruin a lot of
12833s the opening of that Hardy ultimate if he
12835s go through the window or he does lose
12837s that flight for 3 second duration
12839s especially if he doesn't start right in
12841s the middle of it where he's just able to
12842s boost on out there's your pick of that
12845s Justina coming on forel immediately
12848s going to be locking that one safe in the
12850s knowledge that he's going to be up
12851s against a lot of those Hardies wanting
12853s to have those dashes to be able to keep
12856s up to distance and it does indeed look
12859s like GG Shar is also thinking the exact
12861s same as Z we're against unique field
12864s towards that Tessa and since far had not
12866s been majorly picked in phase two she's
12869s still going to be available for shuang
12872s to be able to grab up why don't I feel
12874s like I knew they were going to get rid
12875s of um howy or they were going to try to
12878s just something about it I was just like
12879s n they going to be a little rude they
12881s going do some out of out of the ordinary
12882s here but but that also means that
12885s Justina comes to play even surprisingly
12887s a a Tessa pick as well on top of it
12890s Tessa has been seeing a lot more play
12892s time actually off of the back of zel
12894s picking her up it'll be interesting to
12895s see whether or not we do see that Tessa
12897s since it isn't zelzel on that Justina
12899s whether or not the Tessa goes for the V1
12901s the V2 or the V3 the V3 is a lot more
12904s consistent in the fight that even if it
12906s doesn't catch onto a play you get that
12908s rage generated back and you actually get
12910s to keep thr V1 and V2 yes it only cost
12912s 55% but if you dodge it it does not
12916s actually immediately replicate the rage
12918s back the thing is V2 into these Hardies
12921s is really good it can catch them it
12923s doesn't stop the ultimate but if a hardi
12925s tries to use his Al to try and disengage
12927s and he's an absolute sliver that V2 snap
12930s the damage that it does is sometimes
12933s more than enough to be able to down the
12934s Hardy permanently and yet there it is
12936s unique following suit with zel's load
12939s out into that Tessa F1
12942s V2 definitely going to be a strong pick
12945s here for this game as obviously we're
12948s going to see some hotti picks coming in
12949s from panaman and Mike and frost ofus as
12952s well
12953s here we've got Justina
12957s V2 really yeah this is the surprise
12960s Factor this has been happening more and
12961s more I think it's losing the surprise
12963s factor a lot of these Justine that's
12964s actually deciding to take V2 into as
12967s well also going to V2 V2 is is really
12970s strong especially in those group fights
12972s towards the end but it can still be
12973s incredibly good to be able to lock those
12975s players down inside the real of Yang it
12977s does mean however that you get less
12979s dashes than the V1 variation as we can
12982s see all of these players going to be
12984s landing no surprises it's going to be
12988s fireflies everyone immediately wanting
12990s to get their hands on those alts
12992s definitely catching some of those
12993s fireflies here as we see AOW um smike
12996s and Akuma looks like they're going to be
12997s finding it out as well here towards this
12999s far right side a little bit past where
13001s Towers is but it looks like KLA xag
13003s Frost ofus 5 21's unique all have the
13006s same idea as we see wbg spider going to
13008s be in front of Select to the far far
13010s left here looks like he's going to also
13012s try to see if he can get some decent
13013s loot in these spawn locations as we see
13015s GG Shaw immediately Landing basically
13018s almost dead center of Tower and it's
13020s going to have hopefully maybe we can see
13022s a Ballista kill I mean that would be
13023s interesting as well just to see it but
13024s ladies and gentlemen game number four
13027s starts right now for the prelim finals
13031s this is it this is for just stacking up
13033s your points to see what we can do as we
13034s start to see immediately Frost and Wang
13036s going at it immediately tool trying to
13038s see if he can dip out of here was able
13039s to catch frus in a decent space here
13041s just so he has the opportunity to get
13043s away and now Wang langang creating that
13045s distance here has the point finds a
13047s weapon here but it might be a little bit
13048s too late as the F comes through
13050s beautiful diversion and then is able to
13052s come through slam down and get that
13054s staff elimination and the Finish to send
13056s him back to the resurrection yeah Frost
13058s ofus knew that wangang did not have the
13060s F combo to be able to escape a second
13062s time and continued to put pressure onto
13065s the tul as a result K T25 also in the
13068s areas we're actually going to see Mike
13070s and Akuma going head tohe head both of
13072s these players into that zone Akuma
13075s incredibly low Mike with the purple
13077s weapon already going to try and hold him
13078s there for as long as possible tap
13080s dodging backwards to make sure that he's
13081s going to be able to push on off we see
13083s the F2 from the Hardy now being invested
13086s so M can take the high ground and
13087s potentially look to drop down with a
13088s vertical Akuma not playing into it gets
13090s the one to Mike with the overhaul into
13093s Parry following it on up gorgeous lmb to
13096s try and keep a track of Akuma knowing
13098s that the F under pressure is going to
13099s use the F1 and try to break away Mike
13103s now looking to try and lock down this
13104s kill will be able to get the grapple
13106s cancel onto Akuma he needs to be able to
13108s drop this player because that body is
13110s going to be so far away from everybody
13112s that's going to be insurance policy late
13114s game the one two coming through from
13116s Mike catching Akuma he's going to leave
13120s the soul Bloom I guarantee it it would
13122s give him his Al but he's going to leave
13123s that bloom with how far away it is from
13125s everyone else's drop location he wants
13128s that insurance policy as we're going to
13130s see that Justina V2 coming into play sh
13133s with the staff catching Frost ofus
13135s overhead the triple charge threatening
13137s from the Hardy he can hold this as long
13139s as he wants and there it is that Hadi
13143s we've talked about this all for so much
13146s never have we really commented the
13148s strength of being able to hold that
13149s triple charge for as long as you can
13151s Frost of is now going to be dipping on
13153s out spider with the ult ultimate
13156s managing to through the had ultimate
13158s duration Frost ofus with the Parry
13160s however into the repulse damage spider
13162s no armor looking to try to break away
13165s Frost ofus gets hit into the west and
13167s spider swaps in the purple pulur to try
13169s and convert into a kill but he should
13171s maybe have tried to disengage instead
13173s because as a result even though he turns
13175s back in and finds such a huge opening
13177s off of the P sword he just doesn't have
13179s the health to be able to stand up one
13180s once the CC Runs Out Frost's timing was
13183s so well placed on that one here him
13185s being able to at least get out of jge
13186s fully knowing that he was actually going
13188s to drop that sand siphon he literally
13190s read that coming and he was able to get
13191s out of Dodge before he got caught in it
13193s now meanwhile shazen is able to catch an
13194s elimination onto K T225 and immediately
13197s starts to push onward to Pan Man barely
13199s giving him really much of an opportunity
13201s to try to reset here pops the F key
13203s maybe for the opportunity for the heal
13205s and decides to dip out popping the ulti
13207s panan is going to just usually just to
13209s be able to take that momentum and dip
13211s out as far as possible panan really
13213s playing that to the life ending moment
13216s that he needs to uses it for a fight or
13218s flight that is what you consider a fight
13220s or flight moment in there situation and
13222s it looks like Akuma is going to get
13223s quartered into the space unit it's going
13225s to be the one V one reset for Akuma and
13227s Mike all over again the Chase Begins as
13229s he starts to be able to capture him in
13230s each section here nice hits coming
13232s through as the blue is going to be able
13233s to tap him at least two or three times
13235s into this one nice strikes coming
13236s through from Mike as now Akuma is now on
13238s the run is able to catch him on the wall
13240s beautiful fq reset coming in from Akuma
13242s as now he's going to try to see if he
13243s can maneuver through this building
13245s giving himself the opportunity here Mike
13246s is still going to be able to move up top
13248s it looks like akuma's going to give this
13250s space and be able to try to see if he
13251s can dip away here is able to catch the
13253s dandelion here using that momentum and a
13255s little bit of that science to make it a
13256s little harder for them to catch up and
13258s it looks like he might be able to here
13259s as looks like unique is going to be able
13260s to come through it'sit the sand siphon
13262s but that's going to be unfortunate as he
13263s opens it starts right in front of the no
13265s Al Zone here and it looks like it's not
13267s going to be too much of an advantage for
13268s him here as he does try to see if he can
13270s complete with it regardless unique
13272s almost gets caught by this little
13274s tornado here but it's not going to be
13275s enough beautiful hit coming through from
13277s the fan unique struggling to try to see
13279s if he can capture a moment here as he
13280s was able to get a little bit of hits
13282s from the the Dual hirs but it's not
13284s going to be enough here nice scale rush
13286s trying to see if he can get closer with
13287s the connectivity and is he's able to as
13289s wangang is going to be able to get that
13290s beautiful double strike and that finish
13292s to knock unique out in this game number
13295s four now the one thing I do want to go
13296s back to is how well Frost ofus was able
13299s to read that and the same thing with A's
13301s might there's something about Frost he's
13303s locked in today he's had tough moments
13306s in some of these fights but nevertheless
13307s he's definitely ready for when those
13309s fights come and what's next Wang leang
13311s there with a really smart play as well
13314s going for that tul knows that the Tesa
13315s is trying to kite over towards the noal
13317s Zone tach has a really strange
13319s interaction with noal zones if you have
13321s your ultimate actually dropped on that
13323s location before the noal Zone comes
13325s through even if it activates as long as
13327s your ult ultimate is already on the
13329s field it does not immediately cancel it
13332s it is not the same as some of these
13333s other ults with like a teada or a t
13336s where you have that ultimate pop or even
13337s a hardi and you go into the old Zone and
13339s immediately lose all of it so really
13342s good stuff coming through from him also
13344s left the soul Bloom so he's going to be
13347s looking to try and secure himself a
13349s realm of Yang even though he's on a
13352s tumul who historically does struggle
13355s inside the realm of Yang K T25 also
13359s patrolling around the entrance of one of
13361s his Mike looking to try and push in
13363s through as well we do know that he's
13365s going to be playing incredibly
13366s aggressive wanting to scale to late game
13369s with this hardy hardy one of the heroes
13371s in nraa whose damage scales off of the
13374s Rarity of the weapon that you use when
13376s you pop that ultimate so looking to
13378s potentially try and find that grief onto
13381s some of these players dropping on
13382s forward as well as Frost Fus and spider
13384s all having the exact same idea who is
13388s going to be able to make it for J team's
13391s action might have to duel out GG sha for
13394s control of his pandan and Chang also
13396s circling each other no one's going to
13398s actively make a move until these portals
13401s actually spawn it is very much the
13403s gentleman's agreement no one wanting to
13406s actually have to use their ultimate
13407s before that fight Begins the time we see
13410s the grief the time we see any of these
13411s Els committed from these players who
13412s don't want to go through but want to
13414s stop others is only going to begin once
13416s those portal entrances spawn and there
13418s it is A's Mike not able to get him Frost
13421s ofus also denied Mike not wanting to
13424s take the fight going to utilize the F2
13426s to be able to run away from it trying to
13429s set himself up with the scale rush off
13431s of that wall will be able to find it as
13433s he is just right on out of there in the
13436s meantime right on in there is J team's
13439s action and wbg spider action coming in
13441s with those nunchuck spider able to find
13443s the opener chunking through a lot of
13445s that purple armor with the R&B on those
13446s hbers making it a lot more even given
13449s the fact that he's still running blue
13450s spider overh holding into the Parry
13452s going to utilize the F ability to try to
13454s drop below action will be able to find
13457s the whisp connection spider now doubling
13459s down into that fight with the ultimate
13461s looking to lock him down JT's actually
13463s going to do the exact same both of these
13464s tules now getting the whisp reset when
13467s they walk for each off's Ultimate Spider
13469s held in the whsp goes into the meter
13471s dump J team's action comes out on top
13474s rection reads that super well towards
13476s that end does not let the amount of
13479s damage that he is getting hit with to
13482s define the rest of how that game goes
13484s obviously still being able to hold it
13486s takes that strike holds for the lmb and
13488s then literally is able to absolutely
13490s decimate in seconds time and now the
13493s timer is set on wbg spider he's got the
13496s Bounty he's got four minutes left on the
13499s clock oh but is on
13501s action oh that that's crazy now that's a
13504s story book if I've ever seen it before
13506s immediately picks up a bounty the Bounty
13509s is the same person that he just lost two
13512s I need writers to write this script this
13515s needs to be made into a movie anyway
13517s back into it here as we see xen
13519s immediately fighting the out with Wang
13520s leang for numchucks absolutely putting
13522s in work here as the Perry is going to be
13523s able to come through nice little reset
13524s ends up actually stealing the fan from
13527s right in front of him here beautiful
13528s turnaround reset on GG Shaws he gets
13530s turned on immediately out of this third
13532s party a fourth party comes in with the
13535s Parry looks like the pistol trying to
13536s see if he can create something and now
13538s xgen wants some of that wants some of
13539s that booty com coming in from Sha he
13541s said no no no no no you want it in on
13543s this third party you going to get this
13544s third party but what you might not like
13546s is the result at the end of it trying to
13547s see if you can get him off the stairs
13548s here G Shaw now is deep in the hits of
13551s movement trying not to get caught up
13552s here and it looks like Exton is going to
13553s force this fight as the pistol shots are
13555s going to come through pops the F key
13556s immediately going to go for the heal and
13558s then immediately catches it with Justina
13560s throwing to the Arctic race hitting that
13563s ulti it is able to signify and dip out
13566s but it doesn't look like it doesn't
13567s matter here because spider is going to
13569s find him anyway keeps him up to right up
13572s to date with it all of the updates
13573s coming through you got to be be careful
13575s and be ready as now he's going to be
13577s absolutely coming through with this
13578s fourth party so many players inside of
13580s this section so many people trying to
13581s see if they can capture this one
13582s elimination both of them on red
13584s dangerously low GG Shaw caught in a
13586s tough situation has to try to see if he
13588s can retra as much as possible ends up up
13589s top it looks like he might have the free
13591s space here to be able to possibly pop
13593s his shield and dip out of here he still
13595s has to be able to hold strong there's at
13596s least six at least the seven players in
13598s this SP spider is still chasing as much
13600s as possible here hits him with the Dual
13601s hird is able to capture in a corner
13603s question is is that going to be able to
13604s hold someone El steal it he hits the
13606s scale spider it's going to get the
13607s elimination and prevents anyone else
13609s from getting caught but now he's caught
13611s on The Chopping Block he gets absolutely
13612s destroyed by getting carried by that by
13615s the tornado coming through and you have
13617s to be very careful here now he gets hit
13618s by the grapple on the scale rush off the
13620s wall ends up getting hit towards that
13621s has to be very careful he doesn't get
13622s upscaled by extion and now spider is on
13624s The Chopping Block as he has to be able
13625s to rotate this down pops open his ulti
13628s decent timing but it doesn't matter
13629s because Wang leg drops through and
13630s immediately is going to be able to get
13632s the elimination and eliminate spider
13634s with those dual hirs catches xgen mid
13638s air doesn't even give him the
13640s opportunity to try to retreat or at
13641s least try to get back and now exan is
13642s fighting Mike immediately going to find
13644s that Source pops the F key and is able
13646s to dip out of dip out of Dodge using
13648s that potti to be able to maneuver
13650s himself out of that situation knowing
13651s action is ready to try to capture
13652s elimination but he ends up getting hit
13654s with a beautiful head shot from Wang
13655s Lang with the bow now he's caught a
13657s tough situation no Shield beautiful
13660s clang coming through here as he's going
13661s to be absolutely getting juggled here
13662s the third party might come through from
13663s T25 but it's not going to be enough as
13665s Wang Lang is going to capture that
13666s elimination three eliminations deep and
13668s now he's fighting out with T225 both of
13670s them holding strong pops open the UL
13672s pops open the space to be able to dip
13674s out of Dodge's way and now he's caught
13676s on The Chopping Block both of them all
13678s going to try to see if he can scare
13679s russan looks like he's going to opt to
13681s go outside of the circle here just so he
13683s can separate from this moment pop his
13684s shield and maybe potentially go back in
13686s for that fight oh I think Akuma is still
13688s on theang depletion he is having to take
13690s this fight up against Frost us we're
13691s going to see the one two come through
13693s from the staff ofuma immediately going
13695s to disengage the potential jump
13696s horizontal follow up with the fer F1 1
13700s minute and 16 seconds left for these
13702s players to be able to try and lock down
13704s that s blim of OA out of the lobby Akuma
13707s with the iron be on the fan catching
13708s Frost ofus as he engaged into that fight
13710s going for the skish to be able to put
13712s himself on top of the roof and still
13713s continue pressure Frost ofus with the
13715s overh on the staff going to find the
13717s connection of the focus onto Akuma who
13719s tries to back back him up pan coming in
13721s for the third party lmb thrown out from
13723s Akuma as we see the Hardy ultimate now
13725s being utilized Akuma with 50 seconds
13728s left does not have the time to wait the
13730s Hardy ultimate out unfortunately he
13732s knows with the third party in the area
13733s he can't be seen as that low Target of
13735s voice They al turn onto him Frost ofus
13737s now incredibly low trying to use the
13739s movement on the Hardy ultimate to be
13741s able to keep himself away and keep this
13743s pressure up onto Akuma so that that FR
13745s party of pandaman turns on to him once
13747s the ultimate runs on through another
13749s player now drawn into this location
13751s Akuma 24 seconds left the wrong end of
13754s the R&B on the Dual H coming through
13756s from zel he's going to be able to find
13758s the kill Akuma goes down poison Splash
13762s going to be hitting zel but he does not
13764s care he has that kill he has another
13766s tally this is two to his name and this
13769s is Justina who didn't have to utilize
13771s that Al to be able to lock it down
13773s rovang also going to be spawning up in
13775s the area of s want to try and push into
13777s it however he knows that the hard in the
13779s area has has already utilized that
13780s ultimate and as a result he's going to
13782s put his attention onto a Target he knows
13784s is a lot more vulnerable might
13786s unfortunately work against him however
13788s zel loses all of that armor going to
13791s have to pop the ultimate trying to close
13792s up the distance finds the freeze into
13795s the r MB zel has one more Dash that is
13798s the trade-off with the V2 the area of
13801s effect freezes all of the players around
13803s it frost is able to find the cancel on
13805s the noal Zone but unfortunately zel's
13808s already been able to use the dash to get
13809s on top of him over into the second spawn
13812s of Realm of Yang is Mike and shuang
13814s going Toe to Toe Mike trying to be able
13817s to play around the F Cana does not
13819s manage to read in to one does not manage
13821s to dodge the second or the third Mike in
13824s the past matches was able to dodge every
13827s single throw of the fer Cannon but
13829s shuang makes it look so clean and hits
13832s everyone as pandan looking to headit
13834s onto action with that pistol swapping
13836s over onto the fan threatening the space
13838s with the potential R&B action overh
13840s holding going into the red flash pandan
13842s throws out the R&B action knows he's
13845s going to commit it a second time parries
13847s it on the return to Panda man's hand and
13849s we see the ultimate come on through
13850s pandaman with the Hardy trying to find
13852s the triple charge action taking so much
13855s damage off of these connections pandan
13857s looking to just Zone on out action
13859s taking cover inside his tul ultimate
13861s knows to pandan want to try and Chase
13862s onto the tul he's going to lose those
13864s wings and be grounded for 3 seconds so
13866s pandan instead opting to use it as a ret
13869s opportunity ultimate now remove Pine
13871s coming in with the long side looking for
13872s that jump horizontal to be able to find
13874s the damage and push extion far enough
13875s away that he can follow up the R&B on
13877s the long shot tries to find the topick
13879s doesn't manage however to get the
13881s uppercut confirmation extion overh
13883s holding to be able to dodge on out of it
13885s pan yet again with the R&B on the Hirt
13887s but aan able to be able to find the
13890s uppercut into grapple bumping section 10
13893s seconds left are any of these players
13895s going to be able to find the shot yes
13897s ation finds the kill with the range
13899s pandaman goes down beautiful timing
13902s though that could have got real Hasty 10
13904s seconds left from the clock here I got a
13906s little nervous I didn't know if anyone
13907s was actually going to be able to
13909s actually get that unfortunately in that
13911s moment here as we looking at Mike that's
13913s still super in that far side of the
13916s circle here definitely a little bit away
13919s from where the circle tick is and it
13920s looks like he was able to go and get uh
13923s that one Soul Bloom that we were talking
13924s about earlier such a far hike to be able
13927s to go and get that but it looks like he
13929s was able to though so he was able to pop
13931s it get a free one very much worth it
13934s here in this moment definitely did a
13937s fantastic job with that one as well here
13938s as it looks like n's going to try to see
13940s if he can rotate this in has to be very
13941s careful as jonzing trying to see if they
13943s can hold strong here as Zeeland no on
13946s the rotation Mike died to Zone
13952s tick that out of the lobby shuang with
13956s the he didn't have enough heals he he
13958s didn't have enough well I mean even if
13960s you stay in that zone with enough heals
13962s the heal cut reduction like the Zone had
13964s moved so far away from Mike's original
13966s spawn where he'd been able to drop Akuma
13969s even with the Hardy ultimate into the F2
13971s Mike literally had to pop the to be able
13974s to reposition come on Mike what are we
13977s doing here we can't be doing that he
13981s tried he also denied a potential kill
13983s going for onto some of these other
13985s players and you have to remember as well
13986s Mike has already been able to pick up
13987s two MVPs today he's on 30 3.4 points
13990s that is true that is true he can he can
13993s afford he can 100% afford to see whether
13995s or not he's going to be able to get away
13997s with a play like that cuz he knows if he
13999s goes in to just five players left in the
14001s lobby with Yang depletion he's the one
14004s that everyone's going to turn on to he's
14006s not going to be able to recover even if
14007s he gets the soul blo he's still going to
14009s go down immediately afterwards right
14011s that's exactly the situation that spider
14013s saw himself Landing so Mike makes a
14016s smart heads up play denies the kill does
14018s unfortunately go down however as a
14020s result and I do believe that's actually
14022s his double pick of Hardy now removed as
14024s well as we're going to see one of these
14026s other players does have that Yang
14028s depletion I do believe it is pandaman
14031s trying to just lock down one of these
14033s players into a kill unfortunately for
14035s him a lot of these Heroes who are left
14037s both the UL the fa and the Hardy have
14040s the means of being able to disengage
14041s themselves for the fight and when you
14043s have 2 minutes left it's going to be
14045s incredibly hard to be able to find that
14048s kill confirmation you're going to have
14050s to bait the combo breaker out of every
14052s single one of them before you can
14054s properly commit in but by doing that
14055s you're going to paint yourself a Target
14057s and show that the fight is going on
14059s pandan unfortunately not able to have
14061s enough time to sit back and wait trying
14063s to instigate a fight putting pressure on
14065s to Wang leang will be able to rip off a
14067s huge amount of armor pandam man's done
14069s enough he tries to back on out he gets
14071s intercepted however by T225 and that is
14073s a Hardy F2 now being utilized so pandan
14076s doesn't find himself caught in the
14077s middle unfortunately for him he still
14079s takes see a lot of damage coming through
14080s from the players around him goes into
14082s the V1 looking to try and find the lock
14084s down get stuck in the middle of the ult
14086s ultimate and unfortunately for him even
14090s though he gets the kill he doesn't
14092s manage to walk away unscathed he goes in
14095s to the wind wall into the Wisp and the
14097s Damage off of the back of it kills him
14099s k25 now going to take a lot of pressure
14102s coming on through from the player behind
14104s him crucially however ation not really
14106s going to want to try and take this fight
14109s because T5 still has that tumult
14111s ultimate and we are going to see him
14113s back off as a
14114s result what an insane moment coming
14117s through there were so much things that
14118s happened here within this last like 60
14120s seconds y to be honest the ulti coming
14123s through getting eliminated the hottie
14126s somebody absolutely destroyed k k T2 5's
14130s Health earlier though with a bow
14131s obviously was able to come through and
14135s heal up as well here it looks like he's
14136s going to be fighting shing shing really
14138s wanted to try to see if maybe he lure
14139s inside of the Bang's breath here but
14140s it's not going to be enough as Alber
14142s trying to see if to Connected misses the
14143s first one is able to hit the second the
14145s ulti comes through here Sans sion's
14146s going to try to see if he can slow down
14147s the movement looks like he's going to
14149s get caught off ex to towards the back
14150s definitely does not want to get hit oh
14152s end up getting hit but he's up too far
14154s nice scale coming through from there and
14155s it's not going to be enough Asin is
14156s going to find their fourth elimination
14158s of this game 13.8 now he's going to
14161s start focusing straight onto shazen
14162s shazen looks like he's ready to fight
14164s this out trying to wait for the charge
14165s on the blue M blue RMB on each side here
14168s waiting to see if they can catch the
14169s towards it it looks like they weren't
14170s able to though as exin is going to be
14171s able to hit him with the disappearing it
14173s almost catch something actually it does
14174s beautiful reset coming through from
14175s Ching is able to pop the totem trying to
14178s see if catch him with the ulti and
14180s immediately he's going to be able to
14181s find beautiful strikes to connect that
14183s as well here has to be careful as he
14184s calls up the ulti O exgen almost gets
14186s hit by the B breath goes right down the
14188s right down the waterfall and exgen out
14191s of there quickly as possible shazin has
14194s the opportunity though to go for the
14197s reset pops open the heel oh he's going
14199s for the moris going for the Morris
14201s blessing here legendary armor for free
14203s it's solos there's no L Bar the second
14206s that you're on top of that box you can
14207s open it up and pick up the upgrade Shang
14210s very smart good stuff coming through
14212s from him overh holding that fan it's a
14214s one V one these are the last two players
14216s left in the lobby they know as well that
14217s both of them do not have those ultimates
14219s available shank tries to PR the R&B
14222s wanting to have that scenery actually
14224s disguise and distort the hit box but
14226s action still finds the par sh lacking a
14229s lot of the legendary armor trying to
14231s find the lmb on the Dual halit to be
14233s able to just find the connection onto
14235s action and also carry himself away from
14237s any of that damage coming through on the
14240s low ground so he can cycle back into the
14241s F ability and utilize it to combo break
14244s out he gets stuck in the Wisp the F1
14246s just in time able to come through and
14249s save shuang from any conversion of that
14251s wisp cc into a combo string coming
14254s through from action this is just going
14256s to be a kite fight Shang with the
14257s grapple cancel coming with the
14258s horizontal we're going to the action
14260s able to find the grapple bump into R&B
14262s Shang an absolute sliver gets locked
14265s down action off of the damage that he is
14268s able to do able to build that ultimate
14272s up before the F Mech comes through stops
14276s the disengagement catches him on the
14278s wind hle stops all of the stamina and
14280s action walks away the
14284s MVP what a game for J team's action not
14288s only a game too but what a fine as well
14290s here this is definitely a game that he's
14291s been wanting to get he hasn't been lucky
14293s enough to get some dubs um on account of
14295s his insane run towards the prelims from
14298s earlier with this solo so definitely
14300s going to be very rewarding for him to
14301s finally get one here great eliminations
14303s great awareness coming in especially him
14305s fighting shozen in the back he plays a
14308s he plays a fantastic game um and
14310s obviously just reading that he reads it
14312s super super well toward that very end
14314s here but this game was wild Mike ends up
14317s dying outside of the circle risking it
14319s for the soul Bloon that he saved up
14321s waiting knowing that he has it for the
14323s next realm of Yang um there was so much
14326s that went down towards Z getting
14328s eliminated yeah unfortunately for M like
14330s the Zone's just not in his favor like
14332s he's purposefully lands as far away from
14335s everyone as he can but choosing one
14337s specific player to be able to Target
14339s down so that he can have that Soul blim
14341s in the back pocket but unfortunately for
14343s him when he actually needs to use it
14345s we've moved so far away that he just
14347s goes down to the Zone tick speaking
14349s about T25 he was so unfortunate he gets
14353s like you said he gets hit into that
14355s whisp the CC of the tul timate midair
14358s right and you would think surely there
14360s is no way that any weapon is going to be
14362s able to catch him unfortunately for T5
14364s the player that actually catches him in
14366s that whisp has jel halberts so he just
14369s goes for the uppercut and it catches
14371s t5's toes and as a result he just eats
14374s so much damage from a legendary set of
14378s hirts is actually crazy though obviously
14381s the way that they were able to hold
14382s strong here they did a fantastic job and
14384s they still have some more to go here as
14386s we still have two more games left but
14388s overall strong strong game in their
14390s strong in in game number four especially
14392s for some of these players exan obviously
14393s getting their dub A's Mike definitely
14395s able to at least capture like one or two
14397s eliminations prior but sadly just he was
14399s thinking I think he was thinking a
14400s little too far in the game he was
14402s thinking like 19 steps he should have
14404s been thinking maybe 15 maybe 10 I think
14407s he was too far ahead and I think that
14409s also cost him but I mean definitely was
14412s thinking smart just ahead of the game
14414s but I mean you can't blame him right
14416s when you think about the other players
14417s who had Yang depletion and and went into
14419s packs of players to try and find true
14422s one of those alums it wasn't just spider
14423s who fell to the curse of Yang depletion
14425s it was also pandaan 2o that's true which
14428s is also very surprising as well pandan
14430s was fighting he was fighting and holding
14432s on for a long time trying to see if
14433s maybe he can get lucky so I think he did
14435s manage to drop the player right and I
14437s think he might have been able to pick up
14438s the soul because when we cut to his PV
14440s he doesn't have young depletion what I
14441s think might have happened and this is
14443s incredibly unfortunate when pandan was
14446s looking for that kill he was on the
14448s middle of the tulture ultimate so as
14449s long as you don't go through that wind W
14451s right your Hardy ultimate is still going
14452s to be able to stick around I think to
14454s pick up the soul Bloom he had to walk
14456s just a little bit further forward and it
14458s actually put him into the windall which
14459s immediately canceled f for 3 seconds
14461s yeah I definitely did notice that
14463s especially with the ulti cuz we saw that
14464s happen a little bit later on here but as
14466s we look at the the scoreboard for this
14469s game decent score good eliminations five
14471s eliminations in total 10 up top here for
14473s xen Shen with four eliminations and two
14476s ranking points making him go up to a 7.6
14478s in second place Wang leang tying it up
14481s with Zeland dick and frost ofus all of
14482s them tied with three eliminations a
14484s piece 4.6 tied for both third and fourth
14487s and fifth rounding it out with Frost
14489s with 3.8 I'm really sad that we didn't
14492s get to see more of the Justina V2 I love
14495s the Justina V2 it's it's such a surprise
14498s fact to because everyone is expecting
14500s the V1 right it has more dashes so it's
14502s a much better option to be able to use
14504s to disengage the V2 only has two but
14507s where its strength comes in is when
14509s you're fighting towards late game
14511s because what essentially does is when
14513s you go with the Justina V2 the player
14515s that you freeze actually gets an AOE
14517s puddle of frost around their feet any
14520s other player who's in that Circle when
14523s they get Frozen instantly gets frozen
14526s too unfortunately when we did see the
14528s just V2 come through it only CAU onto
14531s one player it was a 1 V one and a lot of
14533s the time it was being used to disengage
14535s as well and that means that lacking
14537s those dashes is going to put you
14539s significantly behind in terms of
14541s survival compared to 2 V1 but speaking
14544s about behind we can have a look and see
14545s who exactly is behind in the leaderboard
14547s and who's out in front of the rest of
14550s the pack definitely tough here for a
14552s player like unique here who still has
14554s two zeros on the board technically three
14556s if you count the 0.5 in his game one
14559s ending in with a 2. 2.1 here but if you
14561s go up to the top obviously Mike in the
14563s lead here with that 33.4 a really decent
14566s Gap here almost almost being able to
14569s have the same amount of points as Wing
14570s Ling and Chang combin with that 19.9 and
14573s that 18.8 T25 with that 15.8 and zy with
14577s that 12.1 and our leader and or not our
14580s leader but at least our our game four
14582s winner 16.2 in J Team
14585s Action yeah action coming in doing
14588s incredibly good job managing to climb
14590s into the top five as a result of that
14592s last game and these points are going to
14594s matter Derby not only does it mean you
14596s have that cushion to be able to come
14598s into the finals day and not if you have
14600s a little bit of a poor game you're going
14602s to be able to recover and bounce right
14604s back it also is going to get into a lot
14605s of these players heads as we can have a
14607s look and see Frost ofus absolutely
14610s slamming down with that staff Mike with
14612s the F2 on the Hardy there just coming in
14614s for the reposition uppercut into Soul
14617s break Chase catching on to Akuma as this
14620s is where he dropped that body
14621s unfortunately for him the Zone did move
14623s a little bit further away Frost there
14625s catching on to GG sh Shang sits on that
14628s tree observing the fight between T5 and
14631s pandaman coming in with the charge
14633s vertical on the long sword able to catch
14635s on to T25 with the jump horizontal when
14638s he knows that they're low really good
14640s stuff coming through from him beautiful
14642s timing coming through
14644s there beautiful time excuse me beautiful
14646s time going up through there for that
14648s Elation here as we see zel trying to see
14650s if can push out towards crus we were
14653s talking about earlier Z just trying to
14654s see if he get get to closer to prus and
14657s he just sadly was not able to this is
14659s the move we were're talking about here
14660s the timing to be able to capture him off
14662s this back stretch and T25 comes out of
14664s nowhere and shreds B man to get the
14666s finishes and see you later exit hitting
14668s that third party here catching off the
14669s backstretch nowhere to really go and
14671s obviously just absolutely decimates T225
14674s towards the end of that fight where it's
14676s just now down to a 1 V one it's my
14677s favorites I love when it's just one V
14679s one there's nobody around and it's just
14681s monoi mono you and I he's going to be
14683s able to catch off the out before that
14685s slows him down and is able to push on
14687s keep that same aggression and form a
14689s finish with those du birs here extion
14692s it's still raining Pink Ladies and
14694s Gentlemen I love his pink lemonade it's
14696s actually really sweet delicious um and
14698s just as delicious his fourth MVP with a
14700s four Counter Strike 177,000 damage five
14703s eliminations and two HS at the top with
14706s the damage for 6700 100 on top of his
14709s insane or at least decently Soul J but
14712s with one melee resist Soul Jade 2 he
14715s definitely knew what he was doing yeah
14716s action very much a player who knows
14718s exactly what he's doing tul as well wins
14722s out the lobby on a Firefly's map as tul
14725s going up against these aggressive Heroes
14728s like the Hardy like the Justina is able
14730s to come out on top plays a lot of these
14732s other players aggression against them
14734s that's what he's able to take advantage
14735s of that's what tul is actually
14737s incredibly strong of being able to do
14739s right you sort of lie in weight you
14741s figure out when the best moment to throw
14743s out those wisps is going to be and when
14745s to say the best moment I mean the most
14746s inconvenient moment for the player that
14747s get caught in the middle of them and
14750s action is very good at being able to
14752s identify those situations identify that
14754s window which is incredibly small as a
14757s mulch right you throw that wisp you can
14759s do it from a really far distance so you
14760s don't have to worry about being caught
14761s in the crossfire to set it up as a
14764s result and you know what you guys are
14766s going to have to worry about the
14767s question coming up right now because
14769s only one person is going to be able to
14772s walk away the winner and we are running
14775s out of time which hero did this match's
14779s MVP use was it a mulch was it B EOS who
14783s was it C zai or was it D Hardy and you
14786s can immediately knock out two of those
14787s potentials cuz we didn't even see those
14790s Heroes locked
14791s in that's actually really interesting
14794s though for sure but allv variously it's
14796s been good throughout these games so so
14798s far here as we did we we was watching
14800s some of the games from earlier today and
14802s definitely seeing where some of the
14803s players mindset has been so far and even
14805s for a player like frost ofus Frost ofus
14807s is definitely definitely locked in I
14809s think we're I'm expecting we have two
14811s games left he's going to claim at least
14813s one dub today okay I feel it I'm
14816s throwing it out there here we go there's
14817s my first one I'm a bad man boom Frost is
14819s going to at least get one all he needs
14821s is one at least one dub one first place
14823s I'm going to say maybe I'll go seven
14826s kills really yeah we're going to get
14828s specific here oh you are going specific
14831s oh I feel like I need to match this
14833s now do you know what I feel like
14835s spider's moment is is still waiting to
14838s shine I think spider's walking with an
14840s MVP I think he's probably you know
14842s feeling a lot of pressure right you have
14844s to remember this is pre-finals this is
14846s where the points that you take forward
14847s actually really do count and something
14849s else that's going to be counting is the
14851s highest score between zel and unique if
14853s you think that you can count it
14855s correctly make sure to get into that
14857s game client and predict the future maybe
14859s you'll be better at it than this one
14861s over here hey I've been right so far at
14863s least listen some of my choices have
14865s been pretty decent so far okay and over
14867s time in nbpl also same thing has been
14870s very interesting in terms of some of the
14871s call outs some of the things obviously
14873s I'm not afraid to be wrong cuz that's
14874s the whole thing about prediction you got
14875s to be ready for when it is absolutely
14877s cheering you on and when it smacks you
14878s in the face so coming into this like I
14881s said there's been a lot of confidence
14882s from frost Frost is really playing well
14885s he's just been caught into either bad
14886s situations sometimes third parties CAU
14888s catch him up sometimes he doesn't know
14889s how to be able to juggle other times
14891s it's just that wke aggression maybe gets
14893s the better of him and he gets too
14894s anxious but I think him being able to
14897s read some of these moments I think this
14898s was definitely a better Improvement for
14899s him as a as a player and I think he's
14902s going to be able to lock it in game five
14903s and six yeah you have to remember as
14904s well all of these lobbies are what we
14906s affectionately call lobbies of death
14909s that is where all of the top players are
14910s now thrown into the same room and that
14913s means like you've said a lot of
14914s aggression a lot of these players are
14916s going to be going immediately all all in
14918s at the very very start especially with
14920s things like R Yang where you need to be
14922s able to guarantee that you drop one of
14924s those bodies to feel safe and secure
14926s actually entering into that fight
14927s because we' have seen time and time
14929s again what happens sometimes even you
14931s win a fight that actually happened
14933s earlier today Mike won a fight inside
14935s one of those realm of yangs I believe
14937s actually it happened so was it frost
14939s ofus as well where they both win fights
14941s inside realm of Yang and they both make
14942s sure that they have a soul blo secured
14944s and then the second that they actually
14946s take the second realm of yang and lose
14949s that fight and they try and backtrack to
14950s that body absolute moment of horror it's
14953s it's gone it's it's it's way out there
14956s or somebody found it and stole it and
14958s you're just like and that's worst case
14960s it was right there I it was right here
14964s it it was right I'm looking at it it was
14966s that was where the soul who took my soul
14968s blo unfortunately you can't bike lock
14970s Soul blooms so as
14974s a well it's really unfortunate too cuz
14976s it's worst case for a whole number of of
14978s reasons right if you're dropping a body
14979s and you've left one of those Souls the
14981s reason that you do it is because you
14982s don't think a lot of players are going
14983s to run over to it which means it's going
14985s to be in a very secluded area you only
14987s have 4 minutes to be able to find one of
14990s those souls and that timer it doesn't
14992s start when you find a soul alter it
14995s starts the second that you actually lose
14996s the realm of Yang and have to reposition
14998s to a soul alter so the entire time that
15000s your ghost your shade is actually moving
15002s to a soul alter that 4 minutes has
15004s already started and is slowly climbing
15007s down and if that body that you think has
15010s a soul blim is far away from where you
15012s revive that 4 minute doesn't have a
15015s pause it just relentlessly keeps rolling
15018s on so if you roll up to where you think
15020s that s is and find that it's gone you
15022s have about a minute to be able to figure
15025s out how to be able to take a fight and
15027s unfortunately we are in a meta where not
15029s only is there so much sustainability in
15031s places like hollo with the zip picks but
15034s there's so much Mobility Hardy is
15037s incredibly hard to be able to pin down
15039s you see these players they go incredibly
15041s low but if they're able to pull off
15043s their Al and just disengage that fight
15045s there's no way you can catch them you
15046s can't even try and chase them into the
15048s buildings like something like aaria
15050s who's going to lose the mobility of that
15053s Mech because if she wants to leave that
15054s room she actually has to cancel it early
15056s the same thing for like tenen high you
15057s can't go for the monk ultimate inside
15060s those buildings Hardy doesn't have to
15061s worry about any of that he gets to zip
15063s in and out of window sills and door
15065s frames absolutely for free meanwhile if
15068s it was me you'd see me screaming at the
15070s next player trying to get him to not
15071s touch that Soul B hey hey hey you no no
15075s that's mine no I'm going into the I
15078s swear don't touch it do not touch I I'll
15081s be right back if I see you touch it I'm
15083s putting you and me you you and me when I
15086s get out this portal that like that would
15088s be me like trying and that would just be
15091s my luck too right like I'm confident I
15093s go into this realm of Yang I lose and
15096s then I immediately come back out and the
15098s Soul Bloom's gone cuz someone took it
15099s and I'm like man as we look back here
15102s for the first round selections here
15103s trying to see if they can lock it down
15104s here we're going to be seeing the first
15106s round coming through from Wang Lang T225
15108s spider and Akuma Akuma very fun player
15111s that we witnessed over time here an
15113s amazing player we we've talked
15115s extensively he has been one of the few
15117s people that we have dissected player in
15120s and out over time throughout the
15122s entirety of not only just Jacob and npl
15125s entirely and he is somebody that we
15128s consider the Wild Card meanwhile when it
15130s comes to spider and Mike they're very
15132s very downright dirty sometimes to the
15134s book obviously very much to the book
15136s mainly for spider Mike he can definitely
15139s go off book sometimes sometimes um and
15142s as we're going to be looking in here
15143s looks like we're going to immediately
15144s see some hotties these are not some
15146s hottie
15148s fans well I mean these are probably
15150s going to be hotties who definitely want
15151s to have fan equipped with how good that
15153s weapon is proving to be in Solo Hardy
15156s immediately going going to be taken off
15158s the table yet again we are going to see
15160s the damage control come through shuang
15162s and sha picking up that ult zel going to
15165s be Fielding the Tessa knowing that he's
15168s going to be able to take that V2 find
15170s the connection onto the Hadis when
15171s they're in the open space unique coming
15174s in with the acos pick no hero Bann out
15178s coming through from the players in phase
15180s two as a result J team's actually no
15182s surprises he just got an MVP with tul
15184s he's going to be more than happy to run
15186s that one back I know Duncan is going to
15188s be incredibly happy where he's watching
15190s as ug's pandaman locking in his
15193s signature hero of the TKA Frost of Us
15196s coming in with that Justina and A's Mike
15199s also going to be mirroring unique on
15202s that acos this is going to be incredibly
15204s interesting to see how exactly having
15206s Aus available is going to play into
15209s those fights those One V ones against
15211s these Hardies you do have a lot of
15213s height with the tiger grab but again you
15216s only get two lunges if you're utilizing
15219s the V2 variation Hardy can just bait out
15223s the lunges before coming in with the
15226s actual connection of that triple charge
15228s something that we've been seeing a lot
15230s of these Hardies learning to be able to
15232s take down things like the Tada and also
15234s the
15236s tker very good to see where that option
15238s is going to be here we're going to be
15240s able to lock it in for our game number
15242s five so close to the end here and
15244s obviously for our solo so close to
15246s chendu I hope you got your bags ready I
15249s hope you got your ticket stamped and I
15251s hope you got everything else ready to go
15252s hopefully uh you know best not to bring
15255s your Baggers and stuff we'll have all
15256s that provided and to um as we're
15258s about to get ready to lock it in here
15260s for our game so far it's been very
15263s strong but let's see how strong are
15264s these picks oo V2 from frost ofus okay
15267s it's still going to be a blizzard in the
15269s area for that Justina Mike coming in
15271s with the V2 unique also opting for the
15273s F1 V2 load out on that acos I think all
15277s of these Hardies yeah running that F2 V1
15280s variation zel coming in with the
15281s signature V2 on the Tesla that a lot of
15284s these players have started picking on up
15286s and adopting as their own strategy F1 V3
15289s from all of these tumultous as well
15292s panaman no surprises it's going to be
15294s the V1 keep an eye on him whether or not
15297s he's able to get a katana staff or spear
15299s in the back pocket he's 100% going to be
15301s looking to take a r of
15303s young absolutely that aggression is
15305s going to be just as amazing here as
15307s ladies and gentlemen it's time to dim
15309s Down the Lights it's getting night time
15311s as now Frost it looks like ex is going
15313s to be immedately fighting this out off
15315s towards the tough side of celester here
15317s J xha singing and K is going to be
15319s landing inside of celestra itself as
15321s looks like A's Mike and spider fighting
15323s it out landing near each other as GG
15326s Shaw is going to have the whole section
15327s of shipwrecks expans to themselves to be
15331s able to absolutely find some amazing
15333s loot for them to continue their
15334s Onslaught and hopefully be able to get
15336s some decent points points on the board
15338s for themselves here as we see drg zaka
15341s going to be kind of more in the open
15342s space here but a little bit closer
15344s towards the mine that might not
15346s necessarily head over there towards that
15347s section here but there's still going to
15348s be a lot of a great loot for them to
15351s have here but let's see what happens as
15352s we fight this off here oh and actually
15354s Wang leang is going to be over there
15356s right right next to them saying what's
15357s up so this is going to be a good fight
15359s the top three definitely it's going to
15361s be fun to watch off rip now as we see
15363s Mike and wangling off that side we're
15365s going to see spider and K k25 T2 besides
15368s he wants to get a little closer to
15369s beautiful Parry coming through from Wang
15371s leg he's going to absolutely jugle Mike
15372s off the inside of this Hut immediately
15375s Mike is going to try to see if maybe he
15376s can time it right to go off to the
15378s inside here seeing if he can capture
15380s himself some decent resources here
15381s doesn't have anything to his name in the
15384s sense of heals and shields the question
15385s is is he going to actually come into
15386s this fight wangang dangerously doesn't
15388s have much Shield here he's going to use
15390s that as the opportunity here to close in
15392s this Gap nice hit though try to find him
15394s as FF keep coming in from hotti trying
15395s to see if he can close in this Gap he's
15397s wai for the opportunity for them to
15398s strike nice hit from the dagger
15400s beautiful strike goes down gets the
15402s finish and Mike gets the first
15403s elimination of game number five yep
15405s that's back to back we see Mike punish
15407s Wang leang with the lmb on that dagger
15410s catching him and anticipating the scale
15411s Rush as Akuma and zel go head to head Z
15414s with blue halber chasing into Akuma able
15417s to find the grapple bump into R&B Akuma
15419s no Shield takes it immediately to his
15422s health s coming in the one two into
15424s pistol swap off of R MB first stage
15427s stagger really smart stuff coming
15429s through from him clean Mechanicals
15431s didn't get to see whether or not he left
15433s that Soul Bloom Tessa not really the
15435s greatest in solos to try and take those
15437s realm of Yang fights because of the
15438s isolation means that the players have
15440s the time to be able to try and predict
15442s when the ultimate is going to come
15443s through as opposed to in the Overworld
15445s where a lot of the time it can get
15446s caught in the noise especially if that
15448s Tesla is coming in for a third party as
15450s Mike now trying to find the scash will
15452s be able to find the connection onto Pand
15454s man still great in armor as well by way
15457s Mike with that blue pistol trying to
15459s just chunk through any of the armor that
15462s pandan has to try and even that Stakes
15463s before the fight begins pandan knows
15465s he's going to get pressure holds the SK
15467s for as long as possible Mike with the
15468s grapple cancel though able to stop him
15470s from being able to find the disengage
15471s one two look for that uper cut pandan
15474s going to deny it we're going to see the
15475s terer ultimate now come on through
15477s pandaman thinking he has Mike entirely
15480s locked down Mike going to have to
15481s utilize the ultimate to break away from
15483s being held in corner Pand man able to
15486s get over the door but it's directly into
15488s unique who shows up for the third party
15490s this tet incredibly low thankfully for
15492s him still has the ultimate to be able to
15494s get that faster movement speed to try to
15497s disengage pandan will be able to find
15499s one heal still taking pressure the
15501s ultimate night removed going to use the
15502s elbow to be able to try and just body
15504s tank through Mike with the tiger grab
15507s going to find the connection pandaman
15509s still incredibly low free players on his
15511s tail know that this tet does not have
15514s any of their abilities to be able to try
15517s used defensively T25 also coming on him
15519s but it's spider with the staff who's
15521s going to be able to lock it down T25 now
15523s with the dagger fan throwing out the R&B
15526s spider flashing red in anticipation of
15528s the second connection we're going to see
15529s 225 froze out that R&B yet again spider
15533s Miss timing the Parry going to utilize
15535s the F2 to be able to break away from the
15537s repercussions of it as he puts himself
15539s on top and tries to find some of those
15541s resources T5 Rings about wants to get a
15543s read on how many players are still in
15545s the area before properly committing to
15547s this fight unique also in the area
15549s potentially coming in for that
15551s Interruption spider no armor incredibly
15552s low finds the Parry onto T225 who's
15555s going to utilize the F2 to break away
15557s spider looking to try and Chase with the
15559s one two wanting to make sure that he
15561s finds this kill onto T25 knows that the
15563s F2 is going to be on cool down spider
15565s getting aggressive comes in with the
15567s purple to be able to scoop T25 away from
15569s being able to hang onto that beam
15571s gorgeous stuff coming through from
15572s spider as well body blocking the exit of
15574s the building forcing T25 into taking the
15577s fight the F2 glider gets stuck on the
15579s door frame T5 able to turn the fight
15582s around of a huge Focus strike coming
15584s through with the dual blades spider now
15587s going to utilize that Hardy ultimate and
15589s we get a dog fight in the air as both of
15591s these Hardies incredibly low T5 backing
15593s on off once that reset spider knows that
15596s t5's ultimate went through first and
15599s wants to try and find this Chase he's
15601s got another triple charge he's not even
15602s going to charge it up to gold now just
15604s going in for the fast cut death by a
15607s th000 blades as Spider keeps the Hardy
15610s ultimate T225 all of the reset Health
15612s has been reset right on back spider
15615s chasing him into the Zone T5 able to
15617s come with the left R&B on those dual
15619s blades not able though to use the hyper
15622s armor and live through the damage coming
15624s through from spider staff as Mike shows
15625s up for the
15628s party timing coming in super well for
15631s Mike here almost a little bit earlier
15633s here he could have been able to actually
15634s steal that elimination away from spider
15636s here but spider keeping that same
15637s movement he's going to be able to dodge
15639s it on each side here the movement and
15641s the defense coming through is being so
15643s well used here in this moment here
15645s causing and creating that pressure for a
15647s Mike as now he's on the chopping block
15648s as he's going to try to see if he can
15649s separate goes on the inside here the
15651s juking coming in from the man himself is
15653s able to capture just a little bit of
15654s some heals just to keep it alive as he
15656s goes towards the inside finds a
15657s beautiful fkey just to be able to
15659s separate himself nice power slam from
15661s the Tiger Claw to be able to do it just
15662s enough here and now Mike is going to
15664s decide to back off this plays it really
15666s well grapple but spider is not going to
15668s let him go that easy still low here and
15670s he still has a massive opportunity here
15672s so obviously this is the point that we
15673s talk about here when it comes to both of
15674s them fighting this out and it looks like
15676s the staff is going to get repaired and
15678s spider decides to actually not fully
15680s commit to this well it was Zero
15681s durability Mike is going to be able to
15683s find the reset like you said R of yangs
15685s is starting to spawn on up however
15687s spider knows that Mike hasn't been able
15688s to move past him he is going to be able
15691s to try and keep a track of this acos the
15693s problem is that window of opportunity
15694s that spider had to be able to punish the
15696s acos has been removed he knows that Mike
15697s is going to be coming in with that
15699s ultimate so spider has to be a lot more
15701s careful about how he takes this fight
15703s especially when his V1 is still
15705s recharging Mike with the overh hold
15706s going to cancel a DI into the one two
15708s throwing out the lmb to get the spacing
15711s and push spider back spider taking that
15713s pressure going to try and meet my
15714s gorgeous ERS of that blue Focus From the
15717s staff to be able to not get stag back by
15719s the AOS F1 SPID however having to worry
15721s about that third party coming through
15723s the grapple connection of of unique
15725s going to be spent by the scers coming
15726s through spider off of that ceiling he
15728s has the V1 he's going to use it
15730s immediately he goes incredibly low going
15732s to utilize one of those swings to just
15735s keep himself carrying forward to get
15737s that recet opportunity puts himself on
15739s top of the building will drop into
15741s potentially cofin to open up that
15743s legendary Trove and find any of the
15745s goodies within blue armor going to be
15747s healed back on up as Mike finds a purple
15751s pistol upgrade realm of Yang spawning on
15754s through and here's the thing both Mike
15755s and spider have griefed them themselves
15757s any opportunity of being able to enter
15759s it the griefing is insane y'all talk
15762s about it before here once they start to
15764s focus each other they continue to focus
15767s it's a big cat and mouse game you got to
15768s be careful here in these moments here
15769s and so far they're still able to hold
15771s strong here as we got to see Frost and
15773s wangang inside the realm Yang here Canon
15775s shot trying to connect but it doesn't
15777s matter as the Alti Pops in for Wang
15779s leang beautiful defense trying to see if
15780s he can put it together here in Frost of
15782s us trying to see if he can get back to
15783s his blue fan here but sadly isn't able
15785s to he's a to getting juggled by the
15786s staff the ulti goes for the freeze is
15788s able to do a lot here with the pops goes
15791s through with the ulti to get out of
15794s Dodge and still is able to drop down and
15796s get one decent hit to get the
15797s elimination onto prus inside of the r
15799s here and after we look back on the
15800s outskirts Akuma is also flying away too
15803s as A's Mike trying to see if he can get
15804s some nice hits here and it looks like
15806s he's able to but he pops The Shield mid
15808s flight trying to see if he can close in
15809s this Gap here as Akuma just trying to
15812s get out of the way out of Dodge but he
15814s hits up just enough to be able to First
15816s ulti the end and now he's still going to
15817s be able to keep the pressure right onto
15819s him here tries to go off the outskirts
15820s here but it's not enough and A's Mike
15822s trying to see if he can scale rush it up
15823s towards the top side of this of this
15825s section trying to see if he can hold him
15827s and nice hits though on this one pops
15828s him with the F and trying to see if he
15830s can just dip out of here as quickly as
15832s possible just trying to separate and get
15833s a little nice little bit of some
15834s movement speed here and it looks like
15835s Akuma might have successfully just did
15837s that oh celestra HTI and salasa are a
15841s match made an absolute
15843s heaven so many buildings I when Akuma is
15847s here it becomes less heaven right Akuma
15849s the translation is
15851s demon it's it's a very very good name it
15855s is a very good name as Akuma is able to
15858s leave Mike behind unfortunately he's not
15860s able to leave shuang behind he doesn't
15862s have that Hardy ultimate either he does
15864s have the F2 back on cool down he's got
15866s that fan in the back pocket no surprises
15868s he is the dagger and fan demon as he's
15870s taking so much damage storm stri also
15872s kicking on in as Akuma utilizing this
15876s building I mean it's celestra and fan
15879s you get the fastest state of of scale
15881s rush and celestra has the most amount of
15883s buildings in tight Corners it's the
15885s reason why Hardy and celestra is such a
15887s pain to be able to lock down cuz again
15889s like we said when you go through those
15890s buildings you don't lose your ultimate
15892s you have to be careful that you don't
15893s get signed on the door frame if a player
15896s drops that on your head you do take the
15898s concussion and that will knock you out
15899s of slight as T5 overh holding going to
15902s be able to find the connection onto
15903s action look for the uppercut punish to
15905s try and land onto that SM with the F
15908s being thrown out we're going to see the
15909s ultimate from action being invested but
15911s T5 with the R&B able to catch him before
15914s he's able to break off onto the other
15916s side T5 still with the ultimate as well
15919s this is a body that is inside the Zone
15922s T5 going to leave it here especially
15925s since part of it is actually sort of
15927s obscured with the scenery as we're going
15929s to see zel with that V2 finding the
15931s connection into the uppercut lmb on that
15934s dagger trying to come through and take
15937s out GG sha who utilizes the whis to be
15939s able to buy himself a little bit of
15940s zoning space overh holding the lmbb zel
15942s misreads it has to utilize the F1 to be
15944s able to combo break on out throws out
15947s the next V2 iteration Shia wanting to
15950s try and find the interaction he knows
15952s he's going to take a massive hit of
15953s damage he does have the golden focus on
15955s the F to be able to break away so
15957s looking to try and find the punishment
15958s yet again into the lmb Sha with the
15960s wrong timing on the Parry going to
15962s utilize that ul Ultimate jumping past
15965s zel getting that potential reset
15967s blocking off the other hallway with the
15969s whisp so he can find the full reset
15972s opportunity inside his ultimate every
15974s time he go through that window while he
15975s gets one of those whisps back as we're
15978s going to see zal with the read NOS that
15980s show was around the corner catches him
15982s with the lnb SHA with the scale Rush
15984s looking to try and remove himself from
15985s the situation at least until that whsp
15987s comes back into cool down this is the
15989s mind game between the tul and the Tessa
15992s they looking to try and lock this kill
15994s down no sh does not have that ultimate
15996s to be able to stop and froze out the V2
15999s sha able to dodge it this time around
16001s however with the tap sha with the F
16003s going to carry himself a little bit
16005s further away the whsp left into position
16007s and yet again we see ring around the
16010s pillar both zel and sha not able to lock
16013s it down but sha finally bends the knee
16016s goes out waterfall entrance and
16019s repositions as it did look like it
16020s actually cost him a great armor swap as
16023s well he said you know what you you can
16025s add this this is all you I'm I'm I'm
16027s tired of you I'm out I'm I'm done we're
16029s not doing this no more okay you win you
16030s win you win you want the cave you got it
16033s I'm gone see you later sick of this
16036s meanwhile frost ofis on right on the
16038s outside here trying to see if they can
16039s claim something here they have 20
16040s seconds left on the clock but it's not
16041s going to be enough to do what he needs
16043s to as he just misses out on seeing Akuma
16046s as looks like he's going to decide to
16048s bow out and let the circle tick do the
16051s Dirty Work pops the ulti and his game
16055s number five is going to be over
16057s unfortunate for frost ofis here 11.5
16061s sadly wasn't able to get any
16062s eliminations into that game here and the
16064s realm of Yang wins yet again and the
16068s Yang depletion able to do enough to see
16070s to put that pressure onto him four
16072s minutes and sadly was not able to no way
16075s these run into each other
16077s again GG Shaw and Zeland just waiting at
16080s this out here as now he's going to go
16082s for the scale I feel like Zeeland dig
16084s like senses it like
16087s Zend dick knows like this man's around
16089s here somewhere GG shot chilling but it
16091s looks like he might have successfully
16093s got out of there
16094s though both of these players wanting to
16096s try and play towards those outer edges
16098s of the Zone they do have to be careful
16099s cuz the blessing is going to be spawning
16101s right there but that's why Z is
16103s positioning up he's wanting to see
16104s whether or not he can get it for free
16106s unchallenged he does still have that
16107s Tessa ultimate as well as T5 going to be
16110s trying to secure a real of Yang entrance
16113s in fact zel actually putting himself in
16114s the middle of it this is going to be so
16116s such an interesting match up Z so easy
16119s to dodge the V2 when you don't have
16121s additional pressure of all of these
16123s other players presences will he be able
16125s to find value with it 225 going aerial
16128s dropping down with that musket looking
16130s to try and find a connection of
16131s something like slow shot onto the Tes as
16133s we see the cannon come through from zel
16135s it's going to be the Focus ST coming
16137s through from the fan forcing the Tesla F
16138s early as a result he doesn't have it to
16140s combo break the R&B into vertical jump
16143s down going to be able to take so much
16145s damage off of heal bar V2 does connect
16148s on to T225 but he utilizes the ultimate
16151s to be able to break away from any
16152s potential followup coming through from
16154s the Tessa triple charge coming on for
16156s T25 holding it trying to bait Z into
16159s using the F1 too early he's not going to
16161s have it to be able to clash the Hardy
16163s out and T25 with the Mind Games plays
16168s the Tesla like an absolute fiddle in the
16170s meantime we have pandaman and Wang leang
16173s both Hardies going or rather Hardy and T
16175s going head to two head wly and
16177s threatening that space trying to bait
16178s out that utility from pandan early will
16180s be able to find it mixing the movement
16183s up then comes in with the true committ
16186s really smart stuff coming through from
16188s Al Hardis you love to see they've only
16190s really had this hero for less than a
16192s month man that timing though them being
16195s able to dish it out on both sides here
16197s especially with the hotti like you said
16198s for less than a month and look at them
16200s already using it to such an incredible
16202s Advantage here knowing when the strikes
16203s are and how you can be very very
16205s unpredictable with the charges when you
16208s can be able to push in and it actually
16210s leaves people absolutely stunned now
16212s back into it ladies and gentlemen
16214s panaman and Zealand dinks now has the
16217s same timer on the clock four minutes
16219s left to see if they can secure
16221s themselves an elimination or at least a
16223s soul Bloom maybe they can wait for
16225s somebody else to get eliminated and
16226s potentially be able to get eliminated
16229s then as well as the no ult Zone starts
16231s to fully and dive himself panaman
16233s fighting this out with the same person
16235s that also has a also has a real realm on
16237s them as well both of them trying to see
16239s if they can get some yank depletion off
16240s of their backs here the question is are
16242s they who's going to be the winner of
16243s that one as all of the all of the
16245s players start to come through here seven
16246s players inside of this circle here
16248s trying to see if they can create any
16250s type of advantage for themselves here as
16251s pan man's going to be able to go for the
16252s heal immediately T225 finds him trying
16255s to see if he can hit him with the
16256s musket isn't able to here as they're all
16259s going to start to separate and close
16261s themselves in towards the map here as
16263s Zeeland now on that chopping block here
16266s trying to find it as he gets decent hits
16268s here onto Ze onto panan here pan man
16271s trying to see if he can capture it here
16272s but it's not going to be enough as Z
16273s finds the stun and it's going to be able
16275s to back off this but immediately gets
16276s grappled on both sides here now both of
16278s them it's an absolute brawl both of them
16280s waiting for the opportunity and now of a
16281s sudden they strike Zend dick is able to
16283s get a beautiful hit but the Parry coming
16284s through on tt25 could be very helpful
16286s for him here the question is who snags
16288s the soul Bloom p man it's pandam man
16291s okay nice timing to be able to try to
16293s catch that one even with all that
16295s Madness coming through here still was
16296s able to find it but sadly was not able
16297s to get the elimination as he starts the
16299s back off here meanwhile T225 also
16301s finding this out Akuma has to be careful
16302s here he's getting sniped from outside
16304s with a musket and he has to be able to
16305s dip out of here as best and as fast as
16307s possible here nice hits coming through
16309s from the cannon it looks like the musket
16310s also was able to do some damage too but
16312s drg zakum is going to going to be able
16313s to get out of Dodge's way I take that
16315s back here as he's getting absolutely
16316s destroyed by pistols nearby here is all
16318s of a sudden when Wang leang comes out of
16320s nowhere here just like sir where are you
16321s coming from here both of them trying to
16323s charge striking Akuma just trying to dip
16324s out but it's not going to be enough as
16326s jdg finds the elimination gets the soul
16329s Bloom and dips out of Dodge meanwhile
16331s still trying to see if they can rotate
16333s this up this able to go back towards
16334s Tower up top oh
16336s no oh they they might have enough space
16339s not to make sure that they don't get
16340s caught it's Blind Side it's blinds side
16342s definitely Blindside for sure here that
16343s would have been insane if they were
16344s still rotating he was
16346s like still was able to actually capture
16348s somebody outside with a Ballista that's
16350s going to hurt especially with that fire
16351s tick you got to be careful wbg spider
16353s trying to see if maybe he can use this
16354s to his Advantage as well here
16356s here and even with that AAL timing here
16359s four players tied for for first here
16362s with the amount of elimination J shazen
16365s T225 and spider all with four
16367s eliminations a piece yeah sharp on that
16369s ballista going to be threatening that
16370s space pandaman By the way he didn't get
16372s the kill however he did get what he
16374s needed which was that Soul blim that's
16377s the reason why he is more than content
16379s to just let other players take uh down
16381s zel and then slip into position to be
16383s able to grab the bloom cuz now he's
16384s cured his y de doesn't have to worry
16386s about the 4-minute timer running on out
16389s Mike however has to worry about all of
16390s these other players in the lobby right
16392s now thankfully he is on Tower of that
16395s ballista able to utilize the kite
16398s availability with that scare Rush on the
16401s fan one of the fastest charging scar
16404s rushers in the game and there is so many
16407s places for him to be able to set those
16409s up around that base you can kite pretty
16412s much on infinite until the Zone pushes
16414s you away Mike taking even more pressure
16416s coming on through Wang leang with the
16418s Cannons not allowing him that clean
16420s reset to slip away unnoticed and find
16423s the full Vitalia onto that health bar as
16426s a result Mike has to kite back into
16427s ballist to put himself onto the beam and
16429s W leyang knows that there's a player on
16432s top wants to try and figure out where
16434s exactly Mike has hidden himself as T225
16437s legendary fan legendary nunchucks coming
16440s through for this Hardy that is going to
16442s be a lot of damage scaled into that
16443s ultimate as we do hear GG sha try to
16447s fire that ballist and land onto some of
16449s these players as the Zone pushes him off
16451s of that base wanted to clear the space
16453s knows that he's going to be potentially
16455s vulnerable in that rotation T5 also
16458s going to be rotating a little bit later
16460s than some of these other players moris
16463s blessing starting to draw the attention
16465s of everyone who wants the upgrades T5
16468s though doesn't need them he has two
16469s Legendary Weapons already as a result
16472s he's going to let everyone else fight it
16474s out and put themselves into that
16475s vulnerable position spider able to dip
16478s on top of that Morris blessing before
16480s the grapple cancel connects and stuns
16482s him out of it wakes away with the
16484s legendary armor you can see how quickly
16486s he went to that box because it's the
16488s only thing he grabbed he leaves the
16490s legendary long sword more than content
16492s to have that fan knows even if a
16494s legendary long sword is in play with how
16496s fast the fan R&B is able to come on out
16500s that long sword is not going to be able
16502s to have any say into those One V ones
16505s and especially with that vein bre coming
16507s in and cutting off a lot of these
16509s players no one wants to be caught
16512s out wouldn't want anyone to get caught
16514s out either In This Moment here as the
16516s veins breath absolutely surging all the
16518s way around Wang leang up top has that
16521s control of that top Hut here as wbg
16523s Spider just trying to go through his
16525s moves as well here trying to see what
16528s maybe he can oh he's double dipping he
16529s wants the long sword and he got it he's
16532s able to not only get that but also get
16533s the shield as well nice format to be
16536s able to try to do it like listen
16538s sometimes it's better to have it because
16540s listen sometimes you would rather have
16543s it than somebody else that's also
16544s fighting well he's a hard so he needs
16546s the weapon to be able to scale his
16548s damage in the ultimate that's very true
16550s also gives him that beautiful damage
16552s Advantage as well here into this as a
16554s smike is just doing some hunting
16555s practice here
16558s fart fart I don't think anyone's falling
16561s for it no one's no one's grappling
16563s nobody okay okay that's unfortunate at
16565s least I tried I tried Mike that's all I
16567s can tell you is that I there it is he
16569s missed okay it's okay coming back
16571s towards the top of it though I thought
16572s they shouted
16573s pull
16575s Paul there you
16578s go listen I haven't gone skate shooting
16580s yet I plan to I want to that's
16582s definitely one thing I want to I'm
16583s adding to my bucket list I piton clay
16585s pitchon shooting I want to do it so
16586s badly it looks really really fun um even
16589s with everything here listen there's a
16591s lot of first times okay first time
16592s casting here first time here first time
16595s with everyone here at the same time I
16597s mean you miss your opportunity spider
16599s just scoured off into the the center of
16601s the
16602s sky oh that's unfortunate but it's okay
16604s though there's going to be more times
16605s like this D as the circle's going to
16606s slowly close in here seven players left
16608s panaman still cing up really oh he has
16611s to say hidden you have to remember he's
16612s on TKA that's true so he's really lucky
16615s that building is there everyone doesn't
16617s know that pandaman is is still in the
16619s lobby though the second they see the
16620s tarer they're going to know it's pman
16622s they also are incredibly aware that they
16624s cannot allow a taret to be up to live
16626s He's not as much as a threat as if he
16628s was running Fireball then he really does
16630s become a Avid threat when the Zone
16633s collapses when you prioritize having the
16636s V1 and going for the infinite setup it
16637s it does unfortunately limit a lot of the
16639s value that you pick up into the late
16641s game but it also means that you have you
16643s know those Touch of death combos that a
16644s lot of these players if they don't have
16646s that combo break they're not going to be
16647s able to squirrel their way out of until
16650s they're down as we can see everyone just
16653s posturing up trying to find a safe place
16656s the only connection and commitment to a
16659s fight we're going to see at the moment
16660s is just range shots exchanged from afar
16664s no one wanting to overstep not until the
16666s Zone properly pushes these players into
16668s taking that direct
16671s duel Paul I'm just
16675s kidding so slowly 15 seconds left on the
16679s clock here for the circle as now we're
16681s going from Circle 5 to Circle six here
16682s so far these um these games have been
16685s really good so far still on that
16687s three-way tie between spider T225 and
16689s shazen this could be a massive pop off
16691s game for T225 he starts to close this
16693s out and he's able to do exactly what he
16695s needs to as well as um shazen as well
16699s shazen has yet to get himself a dub as
16701s well this could be really good for him
16702s as he's in second place with that
16704s 23.7 also 22.6 coming in from Wang Lang
16707s but he has that two elimination so far
16709s here so he could really see some uh
16711s absolute Advantage here well for the pop
16713s off so definitely a lot happening here
16714s as a SL Circle slowly starting to close
16716s in here well this should be spider
16718s popping off he's on four kills he's got
16721s legendary armor he's got legendary
16722s weapon he's on Hardy as well the
16724s question is have these players
16726s identified that there is an AOS that
16728s there is a cat amongst the pigeons cuz
16730s if they do see that acos it's going to
16732s get a little bit more different on how
16733s they're going to have the target
16735s selection no one really going to want to
16736s pop their ultimate and try and pressure
16738s into Mike if they know those tiger grabs
16740s are still going to be up T who do you
16742s Target first do you target the uh do you
16745s target the tker do you target the AOS so
16747s the tker is going to be a lot easier to
16749s be able to take down that's unfortunate
16751s for you pan I'm sorry unfortunately Mike
16754s however is coming under a lot of
16756s pressure these players they know now
16758s yeah there it is the Wisp trying to
16759s catch Mike the AOS has been identifi GG
16761s sh trying to turn the attention away
16763s from him and onto one of these other
16765s players Mike rotating away from that
16767s whsp now has run himself directly into
16769s spider as well we're going to see T5
16771s seeing that there's another Hardy they
16772s don't want to take that fight both of
16773s them though if they get pressured into
16774s utiliz the F2 or the V1 too early on
16777s they're opening themselves up to be
16780s targeted down the second that one of
16781s them fall spider unfortunately going to
16783s be held into position of that building
16785s with the Wisps coming on through Mike
16787s with the charge right click on that P
16789s just running around trying to create as
16790s much of a threat as possible and land
16792s some of these connections on to spider
16793s who's taking so much damage inside the
16795s building off of those range projectiles
16797s of Cannon coming through from Wang leang
16799s we are going to see Mike now trying to
16801s put pressure onto spider spider actually
16803s forced into the zone pandaan potentially
16806s noticing it out charging up the focus
16808s strike and keeping spider in position no
16810s mer of Havoc however attached to it so
16813s spider will be able to heal up in peace
16815s pandan still holding on to that balloon
16817s knows that he's going to be one of those
16819s targets that everyone tries to jump on
16821s the second that they realize one of
16822s these Heroes is not like the other as
16824s Spider looking to put even more pressure
16826s onto Mike sees that the AOS is still
16828s going to be in play Mike with the hyper
16829s armor on the right click on that P
16831s trying to just body through as much of
16833s the damage in this bully phas as
16835s possible yet again we have the Zone has
16838s pushed forward and moved these players
16841s into different areas of location but no
16843s one is wanting to be the first one to Al
16846s cuz if they do they know they're going
16848s to be the target everyone jumps on to
16850s Mike literally jumping onto spider the
16852s AOS Under Fire utilizing the ultimate
16855s tried to get the grabb and connect
16857s spider into the Zone corruption to
16859s damage doesn't manage to find the
16860s connection still has one of those grabs
16862s has to put himself center now and turn
16864s the focus onto someone else when the
16866s runs out he's going to be free to
16868s recover spider does get grabbed into the
16870s Zone has to bend the knee and take the
16872s moment to be able to find the re Shield
16874s as Sha is able to find the Wisp onto
16876s wangang and we're going to see the long
16878s shot start to come through from spider
16880s with the pressure onto the plays in the
16881s building oh man intense Circle here
16885s towards this spider was able to find
16886s some decent hits here but then wangang
16888s also in a very similar situation ends up
16890s getting sniped as well has to take his
16891s time and be careful here panaman also
16893s trying to hide so that way he doesn't
16894s get spot as well here as he's trying to
16896s get come on there's there's there's
16897s things right in front of you spider you
16899s can't shoot through that meanwhile he
16900s has to go through through the jumping
16902s method method here as he's going to try
16903s to see if he can get some hits as well
16905s here waiting for the opportunity for him
16906s to be possibly pop his heels as he's
16908s going to need to here but he knows that
16910s if he does at any moment a lot of these
16911s players are going to utilize that moment
16912s for them to possibly be able to get some
16914s hits on them as end that end with that
16915s damage here so much happening inside of
16917s this small circle here as they're just
16918s going to try to time this out here
16920s ladies and gentlemen this is where
16921s things get Hasty Circle S starts to
16923s close in right now this is where things
16925s get Hasty all at least two or three
16927s inside of the building sand ciper comes
16928s through nice hits coming in from T225
16931s absolutely shredders the rest of the
16932s shield here spider's going to hold on K5
16934s ends up getting elimination onto sha
16936s both of them going to be able to go out
16937s immediately into this one holding strong
16939s for as long as possible both Altis pop
16941s in beautiful time for each one as T225
16943s goes airb immediately is going to use
16945s his F and try to get some decent damage
16947s and send them outside of the circle here
16949s it's going to be a nice big aerial fight
16950s here sand siphon comes through pops open
16952s from the outside going inside with the
16954s shield here and trying to close the gap
16956s in a little by little here k225 ends up
16958s closing the Gap seven eliminations eight
16960s eliminations catches two k225 is going
16963s insane here now he's going to try to
16965s hold it off here for as long as possible
16966s Wang lay it but it's not going to be
16967s enough as he gets the Parry T225 closes
16971s out the game almost double digit
16973s eliminations and that's how you end the
16975s game five what that production Team all
16977s those months ago when we find out that
16979s we were going to Shanghai asked us if
16982s there is a player in solos that you
16984s think is going to walk away with the
16986s title many other casters said other
16988s names I said
16990s T25 I have had faith in this guy is
16993s Jacob from last year T225 coming in with
16998s that Hardy able to play the ultimate
17000s there's the smile we're yet to see that
17002s you know the staple smir come through of
17005s a successful MVP I don't think he's
17007s quite comfortable in his position in the
17010s leaderboard at the moment but really
17012s smart stuff coming through from t 225
17016s able to utilize the Hardy ultimate
17018s seeing the players going low around him
17020s finding the connection of those last
17022s hits spider unfortunately despite
17025s already having four kills legendary
17027s armor and Legendary Weapons was in a
17030s really rough spot he had no Shield
17032s potions left when that zone started to
17035s collapse when you said oh there are
17036s there's that fence in front of you
17038s spider was utilizing that fence as a way
17041s of deterring other players from turning
17042s onto him they could see that the armor
17044s was broken en they knew that it stayed
17047s broken it wasn't because spider wasn't
17049s able to find a reset opportunity it was
17051s that he had absolutely no chance of
17053s being able to find a reset because he
17055s didn't have the shield potions to be
17057s able to deal it so what he basically
17058s does is he utilizes the fencing as a way
17061s of being able to block a couple of the
17062s range projectors coming through but also
17064s that fencing interferes with combo
17065s strings so as a result if a player tried
17068s to openly challenge him out in the open
17070s space and look to be able to lock him
17072s down one of those combos they would
17073s unfortunately get stuck on the the fence
17075s and being stuck on that fence even
17077s though it's only about 0.5 seconds where
17079s you sort of clip into it it would mean
17082s too much of a window for all of the
17083s other players in the area to turn into
17085s him so as a result spider sticks behind
17088s it unfortunately for him however that
17089s does mean he's a little bit too close to
17091s the Zone when it starts to push him
17093s through so the second that we see a
17094s tulture ultimate come out and he gets
17096s stuck inside that wisp it's it's
17099s unfortunately from Z to 100 real fast as
17103s all of those players in the area they
17104s see the Zone collapsing they see the
17106s ultimates come through they know it's
17108s now on never and we have absolute chaos
17111s unfold and it's not often we get seven
17113s players left in one solo lobby as that
17116s zone starts to close on forward that
17118s very much felt like the same tempo was a
17121s trios Zone closing almost it was
17124s definitely a packed out Circle here in
17126s that final and obviously T225 popping in
17128s is such a great time to be able to not
17130s only be able to not only get the damage
17133s but send people out of the Circle
17135s letting the circle do the work and the
17137s Damage for him so that way he could
17138s prioritize some of these other players
17140s once he started to get through he ended
17142s up getting the last hits and the left
17143s laugh just absolutely calculating those
17145s kills more and more and more to stack it
17148s up in such a good time obviously being
17150s able to do that in that moment here and
17151s even pandaan actually surviving longer
17154s than spider I think pandan was the one
17156s that actually was able to no actually
17158s that was t22 actually ends up steals
17159s that elimination here so he almost
17161s cleaned out the entire seven six players
17165s he almost cleared him out I think there
17166s was one he might not have got but over
17168s than that he went insane I can't wait to
17170s see what the standings look like at
17172s least for this game for T225 that is a
17174s huge huge score coming in from him as
17176s you said before you wanted to see him
17179s pop off you want to see him get a good
17180s game and that's exactly what he did 10
17182s eliminations 17 points for his game
17184s score and a really strong closer game
17187s for T225 A desperate one at that yeah
17189s double digits like you said that was the
17191s game that he needed something that we
17193s have to talk about we've talked so much
17195s about how strong the fan is one thing
17197s that's really overlooked in what the
17199s speed of the R&B on that fan is able to
17201s actually bring to the table in solos is
17204s the ability to poach those kills
17206s incredibly quickly it does so much
17208s damage but the speed in which it comes
17210s out if you see one of those players
17211s stuck inside something like a tul whisp
17213s you wait for the opportunity for them to
17215s be sub 50% you for that R&B it has the
17218s distance so that you're not immediately
17219s in the fight you know they're stuck in
17221s the the CC of the whips so they're not
17222s going to be able to find the par it's
17224s exactly what T5 does he seees spider go
17226s low he Scoops up the kill with the R&B
17228s on the fan and from there he's able to
17230s convert into that late game I think he
17232s even makes off with a lot of the load on
17234s spider's body as a result as we can have
17237s a look at the standings and see what
17238s exactly game number five has meant to
17241s all of these 12 players what has shifted
17244s around we know that T25 is definitely
17247s going to be moving up a couple of those
17249s rungs unique still lagging behind on the
17252s bottom GG sha as well one of those
17254s players I definitely did not expect to
17256s see this load down Akuma too not having
17259s a great day Frost of struggling to
17262s pandaman with that tker unfortunately
17265s not able to find the targets and kills
17267s that he was looking for and there it is
17269s T225 off of a
17272s 17o game Maneuvers himself into second
17277s position behind
17280s A's Mike that has got to be such a
17282s breath of relief for
17285s T225 not only that too but a little bit
17287s of confidence going into chenu as well
17289s here knowing that you are right neck and
17291s neck with the top player here definitely
17293s even when you split those points you're
17295s still going to be right there and says
17296s hey what's up man I'm right here I'm
17298s ready to go let's play some nraa now
17301s surprisingly a little bit surprising to
17303s see wbg spider in sixth place this is a
17307s player that we saw drop four backto back
17310s dubs that we've seen from earlier so
17312s this is a little surprising to see him
17314s in in that top six and and actually
17316s struggling with some of his games here I
17318s think maybe probably some of his
17319s placements maybe in this moment he just
17321s hasn't had some decent spots here but as
17323s we look back at the replays here T225
17325s this was his game as we look at AA
17327s getting eliminated from zel D here
17329s inside of this space here still able to
17331s hold strongly for as long as he needed
17333s to here GG Shaw trying to find the hits
17336s here and he gets the elimination with
17337s the bow beautiful time jady G Shing off
17340s with fighting this out with zeel
17342s beautiful lmb just trying to continue to
17344s keep jungle for as long as possible same
17346s thing with X here k225 reading this
17349s moment here missing out on it seeing the
17351s moment here to be able to strike it
17352s beautiful Hits From The Fan trying to
17354s see to get back out of it but he hits
17356s the boomerang and says see you later
17358s buddy where do you think you're going
17359s look at jdg coming down from the heavens
17361s coming out of nowhere here and getting
17362s that surprise finish here with the
17364s pistol all the way up top here k225
17367s trying to see if catch it and this is
17368s when the the beginning of the end
17370s started beautiful strike waiting for the
17372s damage and obviously comes through and
17374s deals both of those eliminations inside
17376s of that final Circle here and obviously
17378s pops the ulti starts to go airport
17381s immediately catches the first of players
17382s from the outskirts here sending them
17384s outside of it this is when he sends one
17386s of the players out from that far section
17387s here both of them fighting this out the
17389s S been able to slow down some of that
17390s Mike ends up getting pared s off the
17392s opposer of the circle both of them
17394s struggling to get back in and that gives
17396s KT 225 a perfect way to fight that out
17400s and gets the jungle piece towards that
17401s sadly was not able to get El actually
17404s does
17404s yep and the amount of time to get the
17407s finish here and just cleans up and says
17409s my job here is done so he reads out that
17413s he's up against the P sword with
17414s blistering Edge and that they're going
17416s to want to utilize that blistering Edge
17417s to win the sustain up in the zone with
17419s the fire attck and you can actually have
17421s a look and see K5 stats sunanin pill up
17426s Arma piss on that musket burst arrow on
17429s the bow slow shot Sunwing now combined
17432s dual ring and also stamina strike but
17435s look at the damage coming through on
17439s that fan and I mean secondary damage
17442s also
17443s 4,400 coming off of the Hardy ultimate
17448s this is an ultimate that does not play
17450s around in terms of the damage that it
17453s does two successful counters as well
17455s coming through from T25 crucially one of
17458s those coming off of denying the
17459s blistering Edge on the P sword in that
17462s last one V one
17465s I feel that I feel come on wake up well
17467s here's the thing for a lot of these
17469s players right they didn't expect to be
17471s lagging this far behind because they had
17472s really good performances in the regular
17475s qualifications very true exen was one of
17478s those players he had an incredibly
17480s strong day two spider as well had an
17482s incredibly strong day one and this is
17484s the problem for these players they
17486s popped off but they did it a little bit
17488s prematurely as you definitely want to
17490s make sure that you are right on time
17491s with answering this question in chat
17494s which player earned the highest score
17497s this match was it A's Mike was it wbg
17500s spider was it K T225 or was it DJ DG's
17506s Sho
17508s shank I mean
17510s it's let me not say nothing let me let
17514s me just not say nothing cuz this is this
17516s is I'm not say the score line says
17519s enough score line says a lot absolutely
17521s here as we're going to be able to live
17522s this in we still have one more game left
17524s so far the aggression has been super
17526s strong reading these players has
17529s definitely been a little tougher as not
17532s only that here being able to watch that
17534s has been tough but on top of that you
17536s guys will be watching something else
17537s here as we get ready to lock in for our
17539s game number
17547s six teacher the water here is also
17551s contaminated the contamination is only a
17553s symptom
17558s to find the cause we must look
17583s elsewhere
17613s oh
17629s [Music]
17642s what
17684s [Music]
17699s [Music]
17722s [Music]
17732s h
17743s [Music]
17762s for

17791s [Music]
17803s [Music]
17828s [Music]
17852s what
17878s we love seeing the anticipation from
17881s spider knowing that there's a lot of
17882s pressure coming up to him here and now
17884s feeling that pressure now that he's
17885s placed in six so far for our prelims the
17888s players have been set we know who's
17890s going to can chendu and we know who's
17893s going to be absolutely duing it out both
17895s in solos and trios so all of our names
17898s are here now it's just all about how
17900s they're going to be placed when they get
17902s their point split in half heading to
17904s chendu but for you guys y'all got a
17905s question to answer and I hopefully y'all
17907s can be able to predict it which of the
17908s following two will achieve the most
17909s kills in this last match this is game
17912s number six this is for all the the
17913s marbles ladies and gentlemen is it GG
17915s Shaw or is it ug's pan a man put your
17917s answer in uh the client here for your
17920s chance to win something nice now this
17922s has been a really great couple of games
17925s here T225 pops off and just sweeps the
17930s competition into this last game here now
17933s for game number six this is for all the
17935s marbles everybody plans to come through
17936s everybody is going to do everything
17939s possible to capture and Garner enough
17942s points so that way they will feel good
17944s but for T225 he goes from being in that
17946s fifth sixth seventh place now he is
17949s directly behind Mike with one a one to
17952s two point difference yep second place
17955s has been secured but maybe it's
17957s temporary we don't know we still have
17959s one game to play for all of these 12
17963s players before they pack their bags and
17966s move on over to changu panaman not able
17969s unfortunately to put together a winning
17971s performance on his most prolific hero of
17974s that talker spider has got to be getting
17976s into his head a little bit at the moment
17979s right this is something that we were
17980s touching on before the break the fact
17982s that he was coming in one of his
17983s performance days was four MVPs back to
17987s back to back to back he was learning how
17990s to Hardy from try hard himself he was
17993s definitely looking like one of the most
17994s confident users of the new hero but it
17996s looks like potentially some of these
17998s players have actually held back on how
18001s much they knew how well they were able
18003s to Pilot hardi and saved it for this
18006s very
18008s moment definitely for this very moment
18010s here as we're get a chance to see game
18011s once winner Wang leang average kills 2.4
18014s almost 10K damage and a 1.2 average
18017s ranking points here so rank ranking
18020s currently for wangang here not too bad
18022s here but for a player like Akuma little
18024s bit of a shocking performance to say the
18026s least here so I have a theory about
18028s Akuma we've talked about you know how
18031s unpredictable he can be an MVP the most
18034s memorable games that we've seen have
18036s been when Akuma has gone for off meta
18038s Heroes right things like the karumi
18040s things like the VA F2 akuma's entire MO
18044s is being unpredictable he can't afford
18046s to show his hand now because there's
18047s still going to be so many days before we
18049s make it to Chang Akuma knows that he's
18052s already qualified yes he's not going to
18054s be you know coming in with so many
18056s different points but as long as he can
18057s play that prediction game yet again no
18060s one's going to know how to counter Strat
18062s into him so for a lot of these players
18064s it's sort of weighing up the risk of
18066s whether or not you want to actually
18068s expose your strategy here knowing that
18070s these points are going to move forward
18072s but it's only 50% of them for some of
18074s these players in their mind eye that
18076s justifies not showing all of their
18078s strategies holding a lot back so that
18081s there is not vods that prove what
18083s they've been doing and how they've been
18085s operating it that then is going to
18087s affect all of the other teams around
18090s them's decision making is oh my goodness
18092s cell's doing it we're going to see the
18095s Viper ning coming into solo nraa play
18101s definitely something we don't see often
18104s Zeal and dates really being that one you
18107s know we talk about certain things right
18110s we talk about it looks a vda hello G sh
18113s oh this makes me so happy he like last
18116s time we s think you're
18118s happy aalda excuse me dby I guarantee I
18122s have more hours on valda than you I
18125s started as a yodaman and then I that
18127s doesn't mean that that doesn't mean you
18128s don't appreciate as much as I do okay
18131s you don't bring her flowers every night
18132s you don't you don't sing to you don't sh
18134s serenade to her I'm kidding as as we get
18137s back into the game here so that's all of
18139s the noise in your hotel room
18142s I I knew you were going to do something
18144s like when the moon hits your
18148s eye like a Val V too that's a water Spar
18152s in your face that unfortunately only
18154s buys you one hit confirmation of CC
18157s which is the entire reason oh my
18159s goodness daby we're getting we're
18160s getting
18161s Matari from a
18164s see so this is this is actually been uh
18168s a sort of FY that Ravens had he's
18170s thinking that Matari is actually going
18171s to be really strong into things like
18173s hard and also well we know that Z's
18175s going to be playing into that Viper
18177s Matari with her ultimate immediately
18179s sidesteps any of the worry about it it's
18182s essentially Phantom St just on a much
18184s longer cool
18186s down question is is it going to be
18189s viable well the question is do you run
18192s into a realm of Yang as a Matari and
18193s verse up against a Viper cuz instantly
18196s that is going to be a huge point of
18197s frustration coming through I mean not if
18199s you can get out of the way and you know
18201s all you have to really have to do is get
18202s out of the way of the peripheral of the
18204s eye in reality well Matari doesn't have
18206s to worry about that Matari your ultimate
18208s steals
18209s you oh so that you really have the
18211s advantage this is a very interesting
18213s that's why the Viper that's why the
18215s Viper doesn't want to run into the
18216s Matari the Matari is going to be
18217s incredibly happy though because like if
18219s you go invisible it's going to be harder
18220s for these Hardies to be able to track
18222s you you can use the mobility of your
18223s blinks as well to play around the
18226s baiting out of the the hardies coming
18228s through with those triple charges where
18229s they essentially pull their punches
18231s until you fall for it and you utilize
18233s that ability a little bit too early
18235s that's the one real stress running into
18238s Hardies and realm of Yang that Al goes
18240s for so long the V1 variation I believe
18242s goes for 20 5 Seconds that is a huge
18246s majority of Realm of Yang up time that a
18248s lot of these players just don't have the
18250s time to be able to allow to just take
18254s down this is going to be a really
18256s interesting Circle here we have at least
18258s four different picks of things that we
18260s just was never expecting we have Kuma on
18262s Matari we have a Viper from zending
18266s zending definitely really binging out
18268s those those random choices he run Viper
18272s he's he's run Viper already this week I
18275s mean that's true but it's still kind of
18276s like oh I mean he's done it actually
18278s twice in in a session as wello which is
18281s also surprising double pick Viper was
18284s another thing that really surprised us
18285s as well here so zct definitely really
18287s being another wild card here so Akuma
18288s has to be careful yeah I mean Viper has
18291s a lot of actual mixups that you can do
18293s into your combo strings it it does
18295s require things like the F2 being
18296s available so that you can go for those
18298s jump cancels into Focus strike throwouts
18300s or things like Katana but you can use
18302s that to be able to hit confirm into
18303s another upper card and then that just
18305s keeps going and going and going F2 can
18307s actually be really strong the thing that
18309s you have to remember is that Hardy if
18317s he's okay uh it does look because of a
18321s couple of malfunctions coming on through
18323s that we are going to be starting to see
18325s the pick come through again I'm going to
18328s be really sad if we don't get to see the
18330s valos result but I believe that G I
18332s don't think they're switching up I think
18333s GG CH is actually going to roll with it
18335s mostly because we do uh we saw the wuen
18338s V2 variation come through from him a
18341s little bit earlier ago in this week
18342s which I absolutely adored cuz he
18344s actually utilized it just the way I
18345s wanted to see it which is Wen V2 into
18349s hit confirm into uppercut extension off
18352s of something like staff of spear into
18354s pul great sword hot Swap and it was
18356s absolutely as devastating as I thought
18358s it could
18360s be definitely devastating and look
18363s unfortunate though with some of the tech
18364s issues but sometimes that happens with
18366s everything you can't always have a
18367s perfect broadcast it just it means that
18369s we get more anticipation to see all of
18372s these Heroes come through cuz we have a
18374s lot of hotties we have valer we
18377s havei let's talk about this Matari let's
18380s talk more about this Matari you said
18381s it's going to be the advantage between
18383s him and a and a and a Viper obviously
18385s inside of the realm of Yang so if we
18387s come into some of the other players here
18389s and we still have a decent amount you
18391s said that they ALS that you think think
18393s Matari could also counter hottie well if
18396s you're able to find the back stab right
18398s that's the thing Matari has so much
18400s Mobility both inside and outside of the
18402s ultimate it's going to really be
18405s interesting to see whether or not she
18406s takes the retrace version of the blink
18409s which is essentially where you leave
18410s behind that silhouette you blink away
18412s and then you can actually recall back to
18414s it you can get into the minds of some of
18416s these HTI players maybe try and bait
18418s them into thinking that they're going to
18419s go for that blink back and they're going
18421s to have to then intercept with a triple
18423s charge it essentially becomes a huge
18425s mind game between both of those two
18427s Heroes it's something that makes Matari
18429s incredibly enjoying to be able to watch
18432s both his casters players and viewers at
18434s home because of the Avenues of escape
18437s and counterplay Matari brings to the
18440s table it's going to be interesting a
18442s Matari we haven't really seen a Matari
18444s so far in Solo play most of the time
18446s when it comes to you know Soul Matari
18448s most people think oh it's a Matari oh
18451s that's not really like you know really
18453s funny as well Matari used to be the
18454s absolute queen of solos matter which I
18456s which I was there for so yes I
18458s understand that so it's interesting to
18459s see that switch up over time obviously
18461s with more Heroes getting added to the
18462s game more stories to be told and
18463s obviously more combos more picks more
18465s ultis so even with that though still to
18468s be able to see that and noticing that at
18469s that time Matari just didn't seem that
18471s viable and now seeing that hotti is back
18473s and all of a sudden we're testing the
18474s Matari again it's not necessarily a test
18477s to see whether or not she works into
18478s hardi again it is a whole thing of hero
18481s Point rules in solos and you have to
18483s remember as well as the five hero Point
18485s rules you do where you have to play five
18488s Heroes different Heroes per game day at
18491s least you also have the phase changes as
18493s we are going to see that first phase go
18495s through no mixup a except one by valda
18500s we knew you so little as Frost of is
18503s going to be locking in with that Justina
18504s free hard is immediately taking him off
18506s of the table in Phase One Z sticking
18509s with that Viper we still wait and see
18512s whether not we get that Matari coming on
18514s through from drg's Akuma is he going to
18517s go back to those off meta Niche picks as
18520s wbg Spider and T25 going to be dropping
18522s in with that teada y there it is dog
18525s Zuma coming in with the Justina I would
18527s have loved to see the Matari come
18529s through do not get me wrong but
18531s unfortunately Matari had a time and a
18533s place and it is not December
18536s 2023 this is ah couldn't even get my VA
18541s I'm sad
18543s that was a moment that was a moment in
18544s time that was so much anticipation there
18546s just had to be a problem I'm sorry are
18549s going to be able to come back towards
18550s this one here looks like we're finally
18552s going to be able to log into our game
18553s here so let's check out these hero picks
18555s let's check out the v's and seeing what
18557s they pick as well for their players here
18560s so far it's been very good with a lot of
18562s different anticipation here and let's
18564s see if they have the opportunity for it
18567s here T25 also coming in with that te I
18571s believe that's his d double pick now
18574s going to be taken out of the way a
18576s couple of deers in the lobby a lot of
18579s hardies however we do see some tumultous
18581s and justinas as well will it be the
18585s traditional V2 that we now start to see
18588s all of these justinas start to run on
18590s through so if they get FR party they
18592s have the backup of the AOE freeze to be
18595s able to create that smoke scen and slip
18597s away behind the back of frost ofus going
18601s to be locking that one in in action on
18603s the Tessa V3 Tessa coming on through so
18607s guaranteed to be able to find those CC
18609s connections the trade-off being
18611s unfortunately that stun duration a lot
18613s less than both the V1 and also the heel
18615s a lot less than the V2 as we're going to
18618s see auma there it is V2 on the Justina
18620s Frost ofus also going to be locking F2
18624s V2 zel with the F2 V3 variation which is
18628s pretty much what you have to pick as a
18630s Viper into solos
18633s going to be interesting with the pick
18635s ratio here as we do see the pick rate
18636s coming in for 18% coming up from Zealand
18638s dink here this is going to be the final
18640s game and so far it's been really really
18642s high strung for a lot of these moments
18644s here and seeing as though Frost ofus is
18647s the last of our na region here this is
18648s going to be a decent decent landing spot
18651s here in sodas and the decent Circle
18653s that's coming in all the way around it's
18655s going to be a very interesting location
18657s here as we see A's Mike way off of the
18660s outskirts here same with xcg in the very
18663s far back section
18665s of the massive Tower and as K looks like
18668s he going to be off the hills as well and
18670s it looks like in that Center of celestra
18672s is going to be ug's um ug's wangang as
18677s it looks like we're still going to be
18678s rotating this in areas here but it looks
18680s like GG Shaw Landing very similar same
18682s with 522 1's unique and same with spider
18685s so a lot of people opting to keep kind
18687s of the same Landing spots where they was
18689s the first time let's see if that's going
18692s to be changing or doing anything
18693s different here as we're going to see the
18695s aggression immediately pop off here in
18696s our sixth and final game of the Rocka
18699s ladies and gentlemen this is what is
18700s going to determine what points and who
18704s is going to be leading the pack leading
18705s into our finals during the 16th and the
18708s 17th of this month for our grand finals
18712s for nraa blade point xcg is Wang leang
18715s and Mike actually Landing very close
18717s together I do believe that Kuma also
18719s going to be in the area Mike able to
18721s pick himself up he's got to be running
18723s luck Cliffs purple weapon purple staff
18725s and blue armor coming on through wangang
18728s overh holding to be able to force mik
18730s off of that pistol going to be coming in
18732s through with the staff one two we see
18734s the tul F now being invested wangle Ang
18737s able to break around the corner before
18738s the Wisp is going to scoop him up zel
18740s goes down off screen the first casualty
18743s of the match is Mike with the pistol
18745s going to force wangyang into holding on
18746s to the right click Mike able to find the
18749s Parry wangang utilizing the F ability
18752s catches Mike into that wisp he going to
18754s hold him in position looking to try and
18755s find the uppercut conversion off of that
18757s staff but Mike with the combo break of
18758s his own will be able to break on out of
18760s it Mike taking so much damage however
18763s off of all of that coming on through
18765s since he did not have the combo break
18767s afterwards looks to try and find the
18768s uppercut and wangang is going to do the
18770s exact same as Mike both of these players
18773s on the same hero with the exact same
18775s Escape strategy get stuck inside that
18778s uppercut utilize the combo break to be
18780s able to get away Mike potentially
18782s getting CAU into that topick going to
18785s use the F to be able to break off does
18787s catch Wang leang who Cycles back into
18790s the F yet again these tules are just
18794s going to continue going until one of
18796s them is able to find the combo string
18798s when the other doesn't have the F
18799s available and that time is now but
18801s unfortunately Mike is griefed out of the
18802s kill I said Akuma was Landing in the
18804s area and Akuma comes in with the pistol
18807s to steal the kill now unfortunately not
18810s going to have the combo break on the
18811s free shelf from utilizing that V2 Mike
18813s going to drop the tul ultimate Akuma not
18815s wanting to dash on through Justina into
18817s tul as a match up that Akuma knows he
18819s cannot win when ultimates are going to
18821s be available n tries to come and
18823s pressure Mike who's going to see the
18824s grapple connection and puts himself into
18826s the middle of his ultimate Akuma still
18828s not able to find the followup cancels
18830s the ultimate to regenerate 60% of that
18833s charge and try and win out the sustain
18836s fight as Mike with the grapple cancel
18838s immediately we're going to see trying to
18840s push on forward Akuma with the facing on
18842s the R&B on the Hal wanting to buy
18844s himself the time to be able to cycle
18845s back into the free shell form knows he's
18847s going to be vulnerable if Mike is able
18848s to find him into the uppercut conversion
18850s of the P sword that he has in the back
18853s pocket but the fight's gone on so long
18854s Derby we've got the third party coming
18856s through taking so long one of y'all got
18859s to get eliminated or at least y'all
18860s start to separate as Zuma now on The
18862s Chopping Block here a little bit low on
18864s Heels he's going to have to force to pop
18866s the F key and immediately does not
18868s actually use that to his Advantage here
18870s for the re Shield here only was able to
18872s go forward the quick reset Here and Now
18873s T225 trying to see if they can close in
18875s the Gap a little bit more waiting for
18877s the scale rush but that long sword is
18878s able to push them off the top SL side
18880s here he's got to be careful as now the
18881s third party starts to come in T225 is
18883s going to close in this Gap trying to see
18884s if maybe they can M it the ulti comes
18886s out but Mike is going to come through
18888s griefing that kill away from Mike yet
18891s again this is Mike's second time trying
18893s to see if they can get the elimination
18894s and sadly it's not going to be enough as
18896s now he decides to back off but T225 is
18898s deeply on the
18899s pursuit doesn't want to let this
18901s elimination go here definitely wants to
18903s try to close this out and sees the
18904s opportunity and getting the the
18906s elimination onto A's Mike nice hits
18909s coming through from the long sword
18909s beautiful reset trying to see if they
18911s can closing this Gap end up catching off
18912s the outskirt ends up getting third
18914s parted here towards the back with the
18915s repeated cbow T225 ends up getting his
18917s shield swapped here as Akuma is going to
18918s come through with that salty run back
18920s immediately finding out if they maybe
18921s can trying to see if he can jumbl with
18923s the staff staff hitting some decent
18924s shots here and now he's going to come
18925s back with the repeating immediately
18927s pulls out the long sword trying to see
18928s if they can close in the Gap Akuma is
18929s going to scale rush it all the way up
18930s top nice grapple trying to see if they
18932s close it hits him so far off this
18934s outskirt sets see you later buddy do not
18936s try to push on me I am not the guy you
18938s want to fight here and now it looks like
18939s they're going to back off their and go
18940s for the reset yeah 25 canceling the
18943s grapple so he doesn't get scooped into
18944s the purple like you said going to back
18946s on off and find that reset opportunity
18948s zel coming in with the F2 connection
18950s wanting to find the conversion overh
18951s holding onto that staff finds the Parry
18954s onto JT's action the repulse damage
18956s doing so much action having to utilize
18958s the F1 to look for the recovery one two
18959s uppercut conversion unfortunately no
18962s great sword or P to be able to increase
18964s the damage afterwards but action has
18965s been able to do enough takes enough
18968s damage onto zel that he permits the back
18971s away as jdg chushang coming in with the
18973s third party turns now onto the Viper a
18976s much more viable Target in solos to be
18979s tracked down and jumped on then that
18981s Tesla even if you're going for the third
18983s party and you know ultimates have been
18984s invested the Viper V2 of V free Vara
18987s costs 100% of it the Tessa only costs
18989s 55% shuang does not want to turn on the
18992s Tessa as a result and tries to track
18994s down zal who has to go incredibly High
18996s T25 by the way taking A's mic down off
19000s screen with the long sword T25
19002s incredibly close to being able to
19004s overtake the current leader as Spider
19006s Incredibly Close to going down wangang
19008s also in the area spider on that teada
19011s incredibly vulnerable to all of these
19013s Hardies able to utilize the movement and
19016s catch him no matter what rooftop he
19018s tries to run himself into spider holding
19020s the angle go to look to SC Rush away as
19023s unique's attention has been diverted
19026s suddenly it's Unique versus Wang leang
19028s and spider has a clean disengagement
19031s unique with the Hardy ultimate going to
19033s get hit into that tumult wind wall
19035s losing all of that stamina spider now
19038s reheal decides to come back on in for
19040s the purple that he armor swapped out of
19042s in that disengagement will be able to
19045s pick it on up and slides immediately out
19047s of that I do believe he utilized yep his
19049s ultimate it looks like he canceled it a
19051s little bit early to be able to save onto
19053s some of that rage knowing that there are
19055s players in the area so wanting to try
19057s and take these fights unique one of
19059s those targets that spider could
19060s potentially turn on to given the fact
19062s that he was able to burn the ultimate
19065s out from the Hardy spider however not
19067s wanting to find that full commitment
19069s onto a fight realm of Yang Incredibly
19071s Close to spawning up for both of these
19073s players no one wants to overstep until
19076s that portal pushes
19078s through meanwhile T225 looks like
19080s possibly might be getting some loot here
19082s as well here preparing for the realm of
19084s Yang here as he's going to close it in
19086s towards the circle waiting for it it's
19088s going to land directly in the center of
19090s it
19090s here timing it just so he can get it in
19093s here as the portal does come through and
19096s he's going to be fighting himself with w
19098s b g spider and looks like J teams ex
19102s ug's wangang um oh pain man this is a
19106s race both of these players do not have
19107s ultimate this is going to be interesting
19109s here to see who actually going to be
19111s able to sec secure the elimination here
19113s with none of them having the ultis here
19115s let's see how much damage they're going
19116s to create in order to get their ultimate
19118s here a minute left on the clock B and
19119s five should I say it looks like they're
19121s just going to try to go a little bit
19123s more towards the ranged weapons here
19125s Shield immediately trying to come
19127s through here c225 doesn't want to force
19129s this fight if he needs to here waiting
19130s for the UL to come through here as
19132s spider has a little bit of the advantage
19134s oh nice hits though to Ricochet onto
19136s spider spider now low on Shield he going
19139s to be a to go through it but Xin
19140s immediately has already won his R of
19142s Yang here 45 seconds left on the clock
19143s as he closes in here with the staff the
19145s staff is able to do a lot of damage here
19147s to get rid of the rest of the shield
19148s from
19149s spider pops the ulti here spider now
19152s having the advantage 97% and now he has
19154s a full 100 also is able to pop the ulti
19157s now both of them with the timing and
19159s also their ghost able to get the strikes
19160s going but it looks like it might have
19161s been a little bit too late for T225 here
19164s as the as Spider might have possibly pop
19166s the advantage here getting that early
19168s nice strikes to do what he needs to and
19169s spider is going to take that advantage
19171s claimed that elimination and the and the
19174s result in the real of Yang and that's
19175s what we were talking about earlier when
19176s we said so many of these lines from
19178s teada relies on the ultimate being up
19181s when both of those players took that
19183s realm of Yang as a teor without that
19185s ultimate they knew that they couldn't go
19187s for the active 1 V one they didn't know
19189s if the other teor had that ultimate they
19190s did not want to put themselves into a
19192s position of finding out so the range
19194s weapons came through and spider was able
19196s to come out on top JT's action now
19198s trying to find the connection onto
19199s pandan pandan going to punish the fact
19201s that action was in are a little bit too
19202s long ahead of him and is able to find
19203s the conversion into the lmb action overh
19206s holding on those blue to be able to stop
19208s pandan from finding the grapple lock
19210s down we're going to see pandaman with
19212s the overh hold on the lmb Tessa F1 now
19215s being forced both of these players
19216s taking the fight inside the no old Zone
19218s pandaman did not have the ultimate down
19220s before it came through as a result
19222s cannot use it now we're going to see
19224s action take so much damage the Clank
19226s coming through off of the Dual hits into
19229s the upper cut into the bump the
19233s rill halberts that's a combo string
19236s you're going to be seeing plenty of
19238s inside the jup 2024 has been proving
19241s absolutely killer as wbg spider has been
19244s able to cleanse himself of the araba
19247s didn't need to worry about cleansing
19248s himself of Y cuz he won T5 actually in
19251s the position of needing to drop one of
19253s these players unique definitely
19255s potentially one of those targets with
19257s the H ultimate however T25 has to take
19259s his eye off the lower Health player
19261s allow the reset to come through instead
19263s he's going to try and jump on
19265s spider interesting choice here as unique
19268s looks like he's going to decide to back
19269s off this here
19273s T25 try to see if he can close in this
19275s Gap here by spider trying to hold strong
19278s here as the num chops are able to do a
19279s much mass massive amount of distraction
19281s here and destruction gets destroyed by
19284s wbg spider spider able to close in the
19287s Gap beautiful Perry on a JD G and
19289s immediately he's going to try to see if
19290s he can get some amazing hits off of him
19292s here and stops him from popping his ulti
19294s before he can separate and get out
19295s spider two eliminations four deep into
19299s this game already is able to get the
19301s fine and do it exactly what he needs to
19303s as we find the Viper trying to see if he
19305s can time it for the stun here and the
19306s stun is able to do a decent amount of
19308s damage here but so does wangang and
19310s wangang is going to actually eliminate
19312s viper out of this game as well yep C
19314s unfortunately takes the fight against
19315s the tul who was looking to just try and
19317s push that Viper into the wind wall even
19320s though the V3 comes through he just
19322s doesn't have the armor to be able to
19324s survive that pressure coming on through
19326s there's a reason we don't see Viper in
19328s solos all that often and she works in
19330s triers when you have two players to be
19331s able to peel for her as well as things
19332s like the woa and wind wall to be able to
19335s dip in front of and get that Shield
19336s sustain ability alone unfortunately
19338s having that t snap it just unfortunately
19341s leaves that Viper way too vulnerable for
19343s players to be able to face tank down
19345s before the ultimate can properly come
19347s through and allow the Viper to control
19349s the narrative as we're going to see J
19351s team action able to walk away with the
19354s win earlier we're going to see with that
19357s Tessa
19359s V3 coming on through Frost ofus looks
19362s like he's trying to keep a track of some
19364s of these players around him playing onto
19367s that Justina the V2 rather than the V1
19370s variation coming through from him he's
19373s potentially just going to have to play
19374s the long con he's still on blue armor
19376s he's not really looking to make himself
19378s a Target he just wants to play for the
19380s final Zone CL to be able to lock down
19382s some of these players especially since
19384s you haven't been able to find those
19385s kills early on you don't want to try and
19387s take one of these R of yangs having that
19389s Yang depletion has just proven so
19391s detrimental for all of the players ever
19394s since Jacob
19396s started so far it's been very strenuous
19398s for some come some of these players here
19401s but for spider spider able to pop off
19403s here and really get the game that he
19404s needed to here as it looks like GG Shaw
19407s and Akuma finding this out here as well
19409s by themselves The Fan versus the fan
19411s here nice strik to be able to do it on
19412s to Akuma Akuma trying to see if he get
19414s back off this as just sea ulti starts to
19416s pop in question is does he use this ulti
19417s to separate does he use it to absolutely
19419s freeze out on GG shop looks like he's
19422s not able to here as he pops it and is
19424s able to catch the freeze and ends up
19426s backing off this trying to see if he can
19427s separate himself as the Bells start to
19429s come through same thing with the
19433s bows theistic kite yep he's he's cutting
19435s to Bas of ballista unfortunately he
19437s doesn't have any Dash left f is
19440s to
19442s unfortunate to catch it there as wangang
19443s is going to be able to catch Akuma in
19445s this tough situation here now he's able
19446s to try to see if he can dip out of this
19447s but it's not going to be enough as AKA
19449s officially out of this game the realm of
19452s Yang starts to come through yet again
19454s for one last try
19456s here Wang leang two eliminations deep
19459s here and it looks like wbg spider and
19460s extion fighting this out the rematch
19463s that we have been wanting to see so far
19465s here this is what I'm excited to see
19467s here as now even with that there they're
19469s both going to time it all the way up top
19470s here nice defens here trying to see if
19473s they can CL this out pistol shots trying
19474s to see if they can close it but it's not
19475s going to be enough as now it's just
19477s going to be duals versus the numu theti
19479s comes through onto a beautiful coming
19481s through onto spider spider is going to
19483s be able to get the beautiful Parry
19485s immediately hits up with the nin box of
19487s the ulti comes through so does the ghost
19488s able to stop the stun and get the finish
19489s and immediately he's going to be able to
19490s go for the reset spider still having
19492s more Shield though X trying to hold on
19493s for as long as possible but it's not
19494s going to be enough as they hit the combo
19496s and spider is able to get the Finish
19498s onto this and gets another win inside of
19500s the realm of and that's why teada is the
19503s worst match up for a Testa to take
19504s inside a r of Yang spider did you see it
19507s he actually gets hit by the V3 the te
19509s comes through into the Solen he utilizes
19511s one of the shoves coming through from
19513s his Al to push the Tessa away from
19516s stopping him interacting in the ear and
19518s stopping that te actually managing to
19521s snap and deal damage to him spider just
19524s utilizing the threat of that ultimate
19526s coming through from the deada action
19528s anticipating as a result the meter dump
19530s come through
19531s from the nunchucks goes to try and Clank
19533s it before it's able to hit into that
19535s golden charge as a result spider able to
19537s cancel out of the focus strike into a
19540s parry and unfortunately etion is just
19543s not able to find any turn around off of
19545s the ultimate activation either because
19547s of the fur and shelves letting spider
19549s regain control of all of that space very
19552s smart player coming through from our
19554s defending world champion of spider wbg
19558s he's known he used to be known for his
19559s zip I really do feel however like his
19562s Decor has just been absolutely improving
19564s ever since we saw it here last year is
19566s action now on the prowl has to try and
19569s drop one of these players he's been able
19571s to find Frost ofus who was trying to
19572s play out of sight out of mind
19575s unfortunately action's not going to be
19577s letting him away from this fight easily
19579s he needs that Soul blim to drop for him
19581s to continue in this Lobby GG sha also
19584s going to be showing on up for the third
19585s party most likely in a similar situation
19589s action now trying to turn onto the the
19591s Justina Frost of able to dodge away does
19595s get hit by the T utilizing the V2 to be
19597s able to control the spacing action going
19600s down Frost ofus able to stop the players
19602s from looking for the instant third party
19604s with the AOE free threatening both of
19606s them if they try to move on forward
19608s frosters holding on to the R&B on the
19610s long sword gets it immediately reflected
19612s back into his face by Sha Sha with the
19615s jump Parry able to stop frosters again
19618s from being able to regain control of
19620s that spacing and now it's a one V one
19622s Wang leang coming in dropping the smult
19624s ultimate over the body to be able to Lo
19627s through all of those resources and stop
19629s GG sha from continuing the fight
19631s unbelievable here so unfortunate for
19634s Frost getting double team in that
19636s situation here R was able to actually
19639s clean that up but sadly gets parried by
19641s both Wang leang here in that moment here
19643s trying to see if they can hold strong
19644s here meanwhile A's Mike 2 and A2 minutes
19647s left on the clock the desperation is
19649s going to start to set in for Mike here
19651s even though he is still leading the pack
19653s here with that 37.8 here still trying to
19655s see if they can close in the Gap here as
19657s now he's just going to try to see if he
19658s can close it in with the Dual hird here
19661s unique just trying not to get eliminated
19663s here he's down at the bottom of the
19664s barrel here 4.1 points won't be able to
19666s have too many points to his name as we
19668s head over to
19669s chenu but for Mike he's going to plan to
19672s slow down this a little bit more as
19676s unique going to use that opportunity
19677s potentially to hit the scale Rush maybe
19680s go for the shield here as he sees wbg
19682s spider spider sees him first though hits
19683s him with the pistol now he's going to
19685s try to see if he can rotate this out
19686s here is able to pop the full shield and
19688s now is going to use it towards the
19690s advantage here as a is going to be able
19691s to catch him beautiful F to be able to
19693s go for the reset here as he end up
19694s getting pared spider all the way up top
19696s dangerously low trying to see if he can
19698s get out of here as best as possible
19699s you're waiting for it and also the cops
19702s pops out though and now unique has the
19704s opportunity maybe dip out of here as
19705s best as possible but everybody knows
19707s he's dangerously low they're not going
19708s to let him go They're not going to
19709s they're absolutely going to absolutely
19712s push onto him this is about as worse as
19715s as a mother trying to get away from all
19717s of the solicitors here trying to get
19719s that extra Buck you have to be able to
19720s rotate this around as unique trying to
19722s hold on strong here the pistol St trying
19723s to connect it but it looks like A's Mike
19724s is going to be able to capture his first
19725s elimination second elimination of this
19727s game now he gets pushed by wbg spider
19729s this is the fight that we love to see
19730s here as Mike trying to see if he can
19732s boun back out this but spider wants that
19734s fight here he's going to try to see if
19735s he can close in the Gap here almost is
19736s able to hit him with the downward hit
19738s from the numchucks but he's just a
19740s little bit FAS with those dual halberts
19742s scaling Off the Wall trying to see if he
19744s can dip out here and he has completely
19745s lost wangang and GG Shaw GG Shaw is
19748s nowhere to be found and probably Wang
19749s Yang's going where' the boys go where'
19751s they go well spider knows this is Mike
19754s spider very much is familiar with Mike's
19756s movement pattern he knows how aggressive
19758s a player Mike is going to be so he's not
19760s going to let this tul slip away and
19762s spider trying to find that connection
19764s Mike very wisely kiting the fight onto
19766s the cliff Edge so the teada loses a lot
19768s of value off of the ultimate combo
19770s extensions Mike un fortunately having to
19772s put himself onto the low ground trying
19774s again to get back to that Cliff face to
19776s stop spider from being able to find the
19778s v he's going to utilize the app he's
19780s going to utilize the ultimate Mike
19781s dropping in with the tumult ultimate as
19784s well they've drawn the attention of GG
19786s sha also now coming into the area and as
19788s a result it does look like yep spider is
19790s going to allow Mike to leave he had a
19794s window of opportunity there's a reason
19796s that he actually turns off of Mike and
19798s starts chasing unique he identifies that
19800s Mike is pushing onto that kill so
19801s desperately that he has to be under Yang
19803s depletion and as a result he tries to
19805s find the kill onto the Hardy knowing
19807s that Mike in that timer is going to
19810s potentially go down to yank depletion if
19811s he doesn't manage to find the kill and
19812s the bloom unfortunately for spider
19814s because he puts that pressure on unique
19816s he forses the hard into utilizing the F2
19818s and it sends him directly into Mike's
19820s hands he's able to find the kill and
19821s able to pick up the soul BL as GG Shard
19823s going to be putting himself into the sky
19825s Hardy ultimate coming for a spider
19827s swapping on over to the pistol to try to
19829s chunk this hard down what a use of the
19833s V1 the tea sh catching sha midair able
19838s to knock him out of the flight deal
19840s enough damage to temporarily ground him
19842s spider not able unfortunately to
19845s translate it into a full kill but sha
19847s now entirely out of the ultimate fire
19850s damage though doing a lot in that moment
19853s here just so now he could be able to
19854s separate himself for enough time to be
19856s able to reheal and re Shield here try to
19858s see if he can get some extra shield as
19862s well for
19863s him knowing that in this moment it's
19866s definitely going to be the last of this
19868s game here spider leading the pack with
19869s five eliminations but let's not sleep on
19871s wangang with that four here this could
19874s be huge for spider if he ends up inning
19876s today with a dub as wangling is going to
19878s come through beautiful strong start here
19880s with that fan gold shield absolutely
19881s decimating beautiful Boomerang to be
19883s able to connect that one as well finds
19885s the gray shielding swap just to be able
19886s to get a little bit of a diversion here
19888s wangang not going to make it easy for
19890s spider to try to separate as he does
19892s have that gold Katana and now both of
19894s them on the end skirt trying to see if
19895s he can hit it nice defensive CL coming
19896s in from wangling wangling trying to see
19898s if he can hold on on to Misses out on
19900s the opportunity as he sees a scale Rush
19901s coming through from spider spider opting
19903s to the opportunity forit pops the ulti
19906s here trying to get the slow hits the
19907s grapple doesn't fully commit to it
19909s knowing that spider's probably waiting
19911s for him to be able to hit that
19913s potentially with the parry and now
19916s spider going to be able to head back up
19917s top here wangling is going toci side
19918s he's going to dip out of here
19921s not to get caught up here and I'm still
19924s curious spider and Shaw are gone I mean
19928s spider played that perfectly he knew
19930s he's coming under pressure because like
19931s you said he had to go for the armor swap
19933s onto the gray but he actually overh
19935s holds on the focus strike on that Katana
19937s and then cancels out of it to be able to
19939s frame through the Wisp coming through on
19941s the tumult and then he's also able to
19944s use the focus strike cancel to be able
19946s to carry himself outside of the tumult
19949s ultimate before it hits really good
19951s stuff coming through from him knowing
19953s inside and out the spacing and radius of
19955s the tul ultimate that wangyang is going
19957s to be potentially looking to lock spider
19959s down when he is viable and vulnerable
19962s for a kills we're now going to see
19964s spider with the ultimate activation of
19966s that te to try and lock sha down sha
19968s immediately maneuvering himself so he's
19970s not going to get those F and shelves
19972s pushing him into that zone corruption
19973s take damage spider has not canceled the
19975s ultimate okay there we go spider does
19977s indeed cancel the ultimate sees the
19978s opportunity to be able to get the jump
19980s on shot has been removed cancels out of
19982s it the second that he can to be able to
19985s save the ultimate generation of 80% of
19988s that ultimate he knows he's going to be
19990s taking pressure from all of these
19992s players in the area to cater when that
19994s zone claps has get so much value off of
19997s having those shelves knocking these
19999s players back into the corruption tick
20001s and as a result spider has to play
20002s incredibly quietly unfortunately for him
20005s however he's been spotted by Mike this
20007s is a player who's not going to allow
20008s spider to be able to find the reset he
20011s was fighting a teer earlier he knows
20013s that that teer is spider and he's not
20015s going to allow spider to slip away
20017s spider able to find a blue armor reset
20019s GG sha actually anticipating and
20022s intercepting Mike before he's able to
20025s find the lock down onto spider to much
20027s whisps going to be invested combo
20029s breaker used spider able to find the F
20031s connection onto Wang leang going to see
20033s the ultimate come on through are we
20036s going to see the fur and shells being
20037s utilized uppercut comes through baiting
20039s the tal out of that combo break early
20041s spider looking for the shove connection
20043s into that Katana going to go down to the
20046s purple scoop of the
20048s staff what a finish coming through
20051s spider's going to hold on to that fourth
20052s place position here for this game here
20056s but he does have those he does have the
20057s five eliminations here Wang leang trying
20059s to see if he can close in this Gap here
20061s beautiful hits coming through his GG
20062s Shaw gets absolutely sent forcing him to
20064s pop the ulti and decide he needs to dip
20066s out of here as best as humanly possible
20067s GG Shaw now in the air trying to see if
20070s he can dce back and forth between him
20071s and Mike as Mike get absolutely
20072s destroyed here in this moment here
20074s question is are they going to actually
20075s go for the Target here as it looks like
20076s they might be able to as wangang is
20077s going to use that as his Advantage
20079s beautiful hits off that and just like
20081s that wangang is able to capture his six
20084s elimination he could particularly win
20086s this game between him and sha and get
20089s this first place and be leading into the
20091s pack here coming into it and he might be
20093s able to as he forces the Alti GG Shaw
20096s with the Parry almost catches him on the
20098s outskirts he's stuck on the storm and
20100s it's going to shut down Wang leang in
20102s the final game but it does not matter
20106s because Wang leang is going to be the
20107s MVP of this final match is able to
20111s capture enough eliminations gets that
20113s second place maximizes his opportunity
20116s he gets the first game he gets his game
20118s number six and most likely he is going
20120s to be our number one winner leading to
20124s chendu that is a very happy Wang leang
20128s that is a huge contract
20130s I mean when we last saw him he was not
20133s happy at all he knew that he had all of
20135s the kills all of the loot load out to
20137s lead into converting into late game MVP
20140s and he was denied it by
20143s T225 however wangang now able to find
20146s the MVP played it absolutely perfectly
20149s yet again he sees spider and Mike he
20153s knows that they're going to try and
20154s grief each other he pushes himself into
20158s the middle of that fight denies Mike
20160s from being able to find the kill knows
20162s that spider is definitely not going to
20163s let him go this is a Deja Vu exact on
20166s the other side well wangang has been
20169s there before that's the thing he's a
20171s very smart player he knows how to play
20173s these players aggression and impatience
20175s against them and he does it time and
20177s time again he did it in mvpl season 1 of
20182s 2023 he does it right here right now I
20186s do how have to praise GG sha on how he
20189s played need that last 1 V one the fact
20192s that he utilized the F2 on the Hardy to
20195s be able to pick up enough verticality to
20199s cancel out of it early and find the jump
20201s Parry on drop down was an absolute piece
20205s of Art In Motion I love Hardy I love the
20208s fact that you can use him aggressively I
20211s love the fact that you can use him
20212s defensively the fact that you can
20213s immediately find yourself an opportunity
20216s to be able to go for the jump parries
20217s off of all of the F2 and pretty soon as
20221s well Derby the entire duration of your
20223s ultimate he's going to be able to Parry
20225s no matter what and he won't have to
20227s cancel his ultimate early to do it
20228s either oh absolutely as he was able to
20230s get that finish here did a fantastic job
20233s as Wang leang we've seen him bounce back
20235s from these moments before here and at
20236s the same time as I said he's been in
20238s that same situation except this time he
20241s is not on the chopping block it was Mike
20243s in that moment so I know that had to be
20245s a little bit of some sweet victory just
20247s a little bit just to be able to go okay
20248s I remember being caught in this
20249s situation before now how's it feel to be
20251s on the other side huh how's that feel
20253s huh wasn't so nice now was it Mike now
20257s obviously most likely he will probably
20260s end up taking that top slot because he
20261s was very very very close to A's Mike
20264s what a slow climb that's one of the
20266s things that that's the definition of
20268s playing the long game and in that moment
20270s that's exactly what he did here to take
20272s it all the way to the top here with six
20273s eliminations and a
20275s 10.4 game score for the men himself Wang
20279s leang to take it all the Way to the Top
20280s butt with spider five eliminations eight
20283s points as well ends up going in second
20285s place here Shaw with one elimination
20287s sadly but does get that 4.4 A's Mike
20290s with two eliminations and a 4.1 so still
20292s able to put up some points on the board
20294s and browning out top five three
20296s eliminations for exit with that 3.8 yeah
20299s xcd like you said wangang very slowly
20302s and steadily moving his way up the
20304s leaderboard all day that is very much
20306s xg's M Mo not just for Wang leang but
20309s for the team as a whole play
20311s consistently have a couple of good games
20314s have one amazing pop off Game and Watch
20317s as your score skyrockets as a result
20320s spider I do believe is also going to be
20322s moving up as a result of the match that
20324s he puts up in that last one he
20326s definitely I don't believe is making it
20327s into the top three but he's potentially
20330s breaking into the top five as we can
20333s move away from the potentials and see
20335s the definites this is the leaderboard
20337s moving in to the ground finals all of
20341s these players have played their six
20342s games of pre-finals the score that they
20344s have accumulated now over these six
20346s matches played today will be hared and
20349s half of those points will be taken
20351s forward to start off as their base when
20354s we kick off Grand finals in changu I
20357s can't wait for chenu this is going to be
20359s so intense you're going to feel the
20360s energy immediately coming into the arena
20363s I can't wait to see the anticipation and
20366s I can't wait to be able to cast these
20367s games cuz this is going to be very
20369s jam-packed this is going to be very
20370s intense there's going to be a lot of
20372s strategy there might be some random
20373s plays there might be some random picks
20375s there might be some random bands you
20376s never know but as accordingly these are
20379s going to be the points in total so 39
20382s points in total but only a a smik is
20385s going to take 19 of those points
20387s meanwhile
20389s 35.1 for wangley a 17.6 16.9 for T225
20394s that one game that one game put him in a
20398s score where he is three points behind
20401s the top score so I know he's got to be
20402s feeling good going into it and
20403s surprising jdg Zen 13.3 rounding on our
20407s top five is wbg spider our defending
20410s champ yeah like I've said though do not
20413s discount any of these players who are
20414s not in the first half of those standings
20417s there are a lot of days until we go to
20419s changu I feel a lot of these players
20421s don't want to reveal their hand too
20423s early a lot of nraa the second that you
20425s get predictable you immediately get
20427s punished we saw it happen in MVP Time
20430s After Time After Time some of these
20432s players start off doing amazingly well
20434s have such amazing pop of matches but
20436s they do the same thing one too many
20438s times and everyone figures out how to
20440s counter up against them as we can have a
20442s look at spider now coming up against
20445s shuang coming in with that R&B on the
20447s fan yet again we see that fan picking up
20450s the kill there's the Justina V2 Akuma
20453s unfortunately not able to utilize that
20455s to be able to disengage in time T5 now
20457s looking to lock Mike down side of that
20460s smult ultimate will be able to find it
20462s action taking a lot of pressure coming
20464s through from pandan cutting himself into
20466s that no Al Zone overh holding on those
20469s hits able to find the upper cut into
20470s grapple bump into RMB that does so much
20473s damage you can see how quickly it turns
20476s the tides of the fight speaking about
20478s quickly full meter jump coming on
20481s through from spider and in the blink of
20483s an eye T25 is
20486s gone just like that and just like that
20488s spider also able do the same thing on
20490s the just here cting on the outskirts
20492s right before he's able to take flight
20493s those airb spider's like where do you
20495s think you're going there buddy and
20496s that's when he calculates his top four
20497s now this is the same situation that a a
20500s Mike did to Wang Yang here but instead
20502s he ends up taking that moment here and
20504s successfully is able to do it he was
20506s able to hold on for a long possible
20508s second here but that that Parry was able
20510s to do enough to shut down wangang that
20512s timing couldn't have been any better for
20514s a player like GG Shaw but it doesn't
20516s matter though because he did he end up
20517s getting that win that that hype was very
20520s much there and he absolutely feels like
20522s he deserved and that's exactly what he
20524s did here as we get the tul yet again for
20526s a dub like we said three his third MVP
20530s 13,000 damage six eliminations
20532s desperation Soul release blistering Edge
20534s Soul shatter long handle weapon sa and
20537s Overlord with 5,000 almost 6,000 damage
20540s coming in from the fan I mean it's so
20543s interesting cuz a lot of the time when
20544s we were talking to players and coaches
20545s they refer to tul as a damage control
20548s pick but we're starting to see more and
20550s more MVPs come through on that tul a lot
20553s of the time it really does feel like
20554s these players who are able to utilize
20556s the aggressiveness of all of these other
20558s Heroes things like the hard things like
20559s the teada on that tul are able to
20561s actually find a lot more long-term value
20564s and Wang Le Yang that's his entire
20567s strategy in a nutshell allow everyone
20570s else to get aggressive around you and
20571s then
20573s profit checking out some of the final
20576s kill cams coming in from some of these
20577s players here is seeing the reactions
20581s from when they get eliminated into these
20583s games
20584s here and so far like I said there's a
20586s lot of anticipation there's a lot of
20588s stress there is a lot of hesitation
20591s going into some of these games here as
20593s you look at Wang liang's reaction to him
20595s at least losing that last fight but he
20597s still ends up getting that dub here you
20599s could tell there is a lot a lot of
20601s mental pressure a lot of stress leading
20603s up to this CU this is just for the point
20605s so I can only imagine how they're going
20606s to feel when they get on that grand
20608s stage and Chin do in next week yeah cuz
20611s you have to remember as well like we've
20613s said a lot of these players have already
20614s had pop off days so they're going to be
20616s starting to get into their own heads and
20618s go I was able to do it then why am I not
20620s able to do it now and that unfortunately
20624s is all of the preparation that you're
20626s going to be able to have the next time
20627s you play on the stage the next time you
20629s play with all of those players it's the
20631s grand finals there's no more practice
20633s there's no more pre-finals it is perform
20636s or go home literally literally it is
20640s perform well everyone's going home but
20642s one of those players who performs better
20644s than everyone else will go home with a
20645s very tasty Trophy and a lot of bread
20647s let's not forget this is a lot of money
20649s on the line okay like the trophy is nice
20651s it's very beautiful I'd love to have
20653s that in my room but it's about the bread
20655s okay there is a lot of money on the line
20656s that is a lot of chicken nuggets that's
20658s a lot of chicken sandwiches that you can
20659s have for a lifetime a lot of groceries
20661s you can also buy yourself potentially a
20663s new car you also get yourself a license
20664s that some of these you know players is a
20666s little young I don't know if they got
20667s their license yet they might not be
20668s whipping like that that's what I'm
20669s saying but coming from that there's
20673s still a lot of anticipation so hopefully
20675s like you said they're not throwing out
20677s their trap cards they're not throwing
20679s out their surprise moments they're not
20681s throwing out their reverse four reverse
20685s six reverse eight they haven't thrown
20687s them out yet and they're expected to
20689s absolutely throw those out and they have
20691s to throw out all of them in six games
20694s coming up next week in the grand finals
20696s now we're also going to be doing the
20697s same thing tomorrow for our trios
20700s because they also will be doing the
20702s exact same thing it's the prelim finals
20703s so they are also going to be
20704s accumulating their points and their
20706s points are going to be split in half as
20708s they also lead to Chin do so be sure to
20711s tune in tomorrow as well for that one
20713s that's going to be just as anticipated
20715s just as hype as this was today for our
20718s solos there's still going to be a lot
20719s left and then on top of that we and the
20722s rest of the casting team will be headed
20723s to chenu to cast The Grand finals for
20727s the J cup for nakaka blade point there
20729s is a lot of anticipation I hear there's
20731s some there's some powers to be that's
20733s also going to be there too I mean yeah
20735s also there's a huge anticipation about
20737s what the stage is going to look like
20740s it's I mean it's probably going to be
20741s big I I I feel like I can I think
20744s everybody can agree with me when this
20747s stage is going to be huge will it be as
20749s big as that I I'm not I would not be
20751s surprised at all I expect for it to be
20754s bigger than that and that's a big stage
20755s like if y'all was actually physically
20757s here and saw how big that stage was it's
20761s massive okay and I just want to be able
20763s to tell you just as massive as as that
20765s stage is there's a massive chance for
20766s you to win as well if you get this
20768s question right how many points did xcg
20770s wngland get today is it 20.6 is it 25.4
20774s is it 31.4 or is it
20777s 35.1 now hopefully you guys are paying
20780s attention cuz this one you could get
20781s wrong if you guys wasn't necessarily
20784s looking at the points yeah this is today
20787s overall not overall not not just last
20789s match this is today overall so make sure
20793s to get your answer into chat as quickly
20795s as possible cuz unfortunately this is
20797s your last opportunity at least today to
20800s be able to get your hands on those
20802s Cosmetics through this method and on top
20804s of that here even with xcg here like
20807s let's say top three very strong top
20810s three here surprising that spider is not
20813s in that top three in top five at least
20816s which is decent but still surprising to
20818s say that he's not in the top three he
20819s got so close he had two games where he's
20821s coming into final Zone claps with four
20823s kills unfortunately for him the last
20826s Lobby that he's in it's Mike and Wang
20828s leyang and wangang as we've already
20830s talked about knows how to take advantage
20833s of the aggression that spider and Mike
20834s show each other even though both of them
20836s do back off cuz they see that third
20838s party come through they've learned from
20840s the past when wangang has been able to
20842s essentially bait them into using that
20843s aggression against each other where they
20845s will chase after each other 5 minutes
20847s sometimes even longer until one of of
20849s them eventually goes down they do go for
20851s that split this time but enough had been
20854s invested in the fight that they were
20855s just two vulnerable targets to survive
20858s that third party pressure coming on
20859s through the second time that we see
20861s spider coming with four kills is when
20863s T225 pops on off spider unfortunately
20866s gets caught out because he tries to
20868s position around just not getting spotted
20870s not being pressured since he's lacking
20872s the ability to be able to heal up all of
20874s that legendary armor and he's the one
20876s when the Zone collapses and it's m
20878s ultimate first comes in that everyone
20879s turns on to as a result now even with
20882s that here there's still a lot coming
20884s through but obviously that was a tough
20886s ending for spider here obviously as you
20888s can tell from his face from that replay
20891s on his five of moments here same thing
20892s with Wang leang too they def I know Wang
20894s leang wanted that dub he had that a lot
20897s of stuff here but that's going to do it
20898s for me and Moxy here for our solos
20902s prelims finals like I said make sure to
20904s stay tuned tomorrow for that but this is
20907s going to be a wave of goodbye to us but
20908s we're going to going to send you over to
20910s Leah for our interview and we'll see you
20912s guys tomorrow for
20916s trios thank you our casters and hi
20918s everyone this is jger and welcome to
20920s post game interview and now I'm standing
20922s here with one Le and let him say hello
20923s to our
20929s [Music]
20930s audience so first we have interesting
20933s story we would like to share cuz before
20936s the postgame interview we saw that today
20938s have a lot lot of audience and fans of w
20940s land they just come here and support for
20943s you so I would like to know so what did
20945s they say and anything you want to say to
20947s the people support
20968s you
20985s okay so first of all all they want to
20987s like to say to me is cheer up in the J
20989s cup cuz today only the preg Grand Final
20993s and we still have the races in chungu
20996s and just see you in chungu and I would
20998s like to say
20999s thank you very much for support me and
21001s support my team xcg thank you and I will
21004s work hard okay so for the game six so we
21008s would like to say congratulation you got
21009s the MVP in the game six but I'm really
21012s interesting like after the matches
21015s you're like talking to the crew members
21017s so what are you talking
21027s about that's
21040s for yeah okay so because trun is just
21043s nearby me and we are talking about the
21046s one-onone fighting with sha at the end
21047s of the game and he said it's really a
21049s Pity cuz in the end of the game just
21052s killed by Sha and I would like to say
21054s because I don't know he had the soldier
21056s it's really a Pity but I will work hard
21058s the rest of game
21067s okay okay cheer up one and thank you for
21070s today's interview and we will get back
21072s to our
21074s casters appreciate you so much war that
21077s amazing interview for Wang leang our
21079s second place here uh overall for our
21082s points here and obviously he's coming in
21084s there with at least one point behind the
21086s top score so obviously his confidence is
21089s immensely High especially after that one
21091s pop off game but I know a player that's
21093s also just as happy T25 yes definitely
21096s you could see that he was taking a lot
21097s of stress a lot of pressure I know he
21099s was under a lot of pressure as well from
21101s his own self because you have to
21102s remember T25 Rose to prominence in the
21105s nraa scene the last jaob and as a result
21108s he really is thinking that he's going to
21110s be putting a lot more presence into the
21113s job and as a result a lot more pressure
21116s onto where he's ending in the
21117s leaderboard but he was able to to find
21119s that massive pop off game and I think
21120s off of that massive pop off game he
21122s takes something like 16 points with him
21124s into the grand finals which is a huge
21127s stress off of his shoulders
21128s unfortunately for some of these other
21129s players they still have to deal with
21132s that stress and pressure in fact all of
21134s our Tri players still have to deal with
21136s it because we are undecided on the
21138s amount of points they all bring with
21140s them in Chang D in fact we find that out
21142s tomorrow yes we'll be finding that out
21145s tomorrow here as we're going to see who
21146s is going to take the top spot as well
21149s for their points as they also will be
21151s deducted in half and be sure to be here
21153s for the 16th and the 17th as we will be
21155s crowning world champions of the J cup
21159s here from the rocket blade Point
21160s 2023 is spider going to be able to
21163s defend his title is Mike going to be
21165s able to steal it back and gain the
21166s throne is Frost it's going to be our
21168s first na world champion holder or is
21171s somebody else going to steal it from
21172s right under all of them at the same time
21174s is xcg going to continue their Onslaught
21177s for their s or is another team going to
21180s come in and seal it all the way away
21182s from them regardless we're going to be
21184s crowning a brand new Trio world champion
21188s on the 17th so be sure to be here for it
21191s as we're going to be showing tomorrow's
21192s schedule for our days and it starts off
21195s at night for our trios yeah immediately
21197s into increased Firefly rates coming on
21199s for fight backto back increased Fire Fly
21203s rates both Morris and holl off Dusk and
21206s night coming on through your favorites
21208s your I mean no my favorite star Knight
21211s but star KN wasn't pick oh that's
21213s unfortunate SAR Knight was not
21214s unfortunately pick so hopefully the next
21216s time it'll get picked on top of that but
21217s at least we still get a night time
21219s though that's true right so at least we
21220s still get the night time at least we
21221s still get the fireflies well I mean it's
21223s not as important on h rough as it is for
21225s Morris because you have Firefly cages
21227s through the map so especially a lot of
21229s those teams when they land towards youan
21231s ruins they actually want to land so they
21233s can go through the Enigma Rifts which
21235s actually carry them into a room where
21236s there are a couple of fireflies on the
21238s side
21239s but more importantly a firefly cage
21241s directly in the uh Center of that room
21243s where you're able to interact with and
21244s you actually get all of your R generated
21246s and it's more than enough for one person
21248s sometimes it's actually enough for about
21249s one and a half people so when TRS you
21251s can get like one and a half ultimate B
21253s help off of that alone well just as
21255s awesome as the Enigma Rift sounds
21259s because that sounds really dope I feel
21261s like I'm heading into a desolate future
21264s of like water and like lots of like very
21266s adorable animals um that also go right
21269s into the sky at least like just just
21271s hearing the name it just sounds very
21272s very very appealing um still even with
21275s that though make sure to follow us here

21334s that so far it's been a great day for
21336s some of our players here solos ended
21340s strong Mike in the lead second place
21343s Wang leang third
21345s T225 definitely surprising top three but
21348s ending that xgen and fourth and of
21352s course wbg spider in fifth yeah I mean I
21355s don't think a lot of people expected
21356s spider to be in the top five
21358s or rather if they did expect him in the
21360s top five they expected him at the top of
21362s the top five not in the lower half it'll
21365s be interesting to see what not trus
21367s follows that same pattern if teams try
21369s and hold on to their strategies they do
21371s risk losing out on those pre-final 50%
21374s carried forward points and especially
21376s for trios too tomorrow because there's
21378s going to be a lot of anticipation for
21379s trios there's a lot of that but for now
