227s	good evening OverWatch fans it is
229s	finally time for the calling all heroes
232s	Challengers Series championship I'm your
235s	host Ash and we are back with an
237s	action-packed weekend of OverWatch to
240s	but I'm not going to be the only one
241s	bringing the action for you guys here
243s	I've got to introduce our lovely casters
245s	C tiny shiny how are you guys doing tiny
249s	shiny you kick us out first oh Ash it is
253s	absolutely wonderful to be here not only
256s	as a fan of OverWatch but as a fan of
258s	calling all heroes itself this circuit
260s	has been going on for nearly 10 months
263s	and it let us all to this point $220,000
266s	on the wine I can't wait to see what
268s	goes down I'm so so excited for it I
271s	mean this was our very first like proper
274s	season of calling all heroes CB that
276s	we've had to witness and it's all
278s	culminated down to this weekend here on
281s	championships absolutely I'm I'm so so
284s	so excited to get to be here not just
286s	because of the competition but because
287s	of what calling all heroes means to me
289s	and to everybody else here I I mean I
291s	don't think it's an exaggeration for me
293s	to say that calling all heroes is my
295s	home and it's a home that has been built
297s	with the hard work from so so many
299s	people from from all across the
300s	OverWatch Community every every role
303s	Talent players and the like and it's a
306s	home that was built for a lot of these
307s	marginalized gender players and talent
309s	that haven't always had the easiest time
311s	finding a home elsewhere in Esports so
314s	yeah it's a competition it's a fierce
316s	competition at that but it's also a
318s	celebration of all of that passion so I
321s	want to thank everybody for coming out
322s	and welcome you all to our home as we
325s	kick this thing off it's amazing to see
327s	how much it's grown like since like the
329s	first Inception in 2022 right and we
332s	have to talk about also how everybody
333s	ended up getting here in the first place
336s	what this season really ended up looking
338s	like overall because we did have three
340s	Majors three minors and one lcq and Tiny
345s	we're looking over at the calling all
346s	heroes Challengers circuit it's five
349s	teams joining us through those circuit
351s	points yes five teams that have
354s	qualified through three Majors three
356s	minors just as you said Ash and those
359s	individuals have made it to these
360s	rosters putting them in those various
362s	seated spots and I think the one that we
364s	got to highlight coming into this
366s	specifically has to be timeless ethereal
368s	coming away with five out of the six
370s	event titles they're looking straight
373s	down the path to take away the seventh
375s	in the championship yeah it's undeniable
377s	the performance that Timeless ethereal
379s	put out there but we also have to give
381s	that Kudos over to some of our lcq
383s	winners here CB I know everyone was
386s	super excited for VT blue team we're
389s	going to be seeing later on today so we
390s	don't want to talk too much about them
392s	quite yet to spoil anything but kenoi
395s	also a fan favorite coming back into the
396s	fry Hey and I think coming out of lcq
399s	kunoichi is the big story and a definite
401s	fan favorite team that a lot of teams
404s	players fans everyone's going to have
406s	their eye on kunoichi to see what they
408s	do as they try to be the ones to Vive
410s	for that adorable Tracer Corgi trophy
413s	that will be gifted to the winning team
416s	that's the thing the prizing everything
418s	that we're playing for this weekend well
420s	not we but the players the ones that we
422s	are I'll play for one of those trophies
424s	I'll take one I'll take get me in there
426s	I'll play for Corgi Tracer we were all
428s	hyping up not even just like Corgi
430s	Tracer but the space for that you get as
433s	a participant like how sick is this
436s	prizing coming in for the 2023 2024
439s	Championship here you're looking at
441s	obviously the winning team of everything
443s	gets the trophy the Tracer Corgi it's
445s	adorable number one two colors SLE then
449s	you Al get the MVP trophy on top of that
452s	and we've seen some pretty insane plays
454s	throughout this entire season so I can't
457s	wait to see what we have in store here
458s	for this weekend alone
461s	tiny absolutely I mean not only that but
464s	and we have incredible prizing to give
466s	away throughout this event a total of
469s	$20,000 split across all of our teams
472s	amounts to see below are awarded per
474s	player for each place that they end up
477s	getting and you know there's really just
479s	so many question marks so many things
481s	that can happen changes that have come
483s	into rosters throughout this that we
484s	really can't tell you right now who's
486s	going to come away in what spot no we
488s	definitely can't and I know the praising
490s	it was broken down into the per player
492s	kind of segment there but when you're
493s	looking at the overall prize pool it is
496s	that sweet sweet pot of 20 grand on the
499s	line to be split up overall and when
502s	we're talking about what we're playing
504s	for we also have to think about where
506s	we're playing I know the map Pool is
508s	going to be the same as what we saw in
510s	lcq but not all of these teams
513s	participated in that last chance
515s	qualifier CB some of them had to deal
517s	with a bit of a different prize pull
519s	that we saw for major 3 the those
521s	changes being over towards the
523s	categories of escort push and control
526s	one thing I can tell you from experience
528s	though is that the teams that didn't
530s	have to go through lcq have been
531s	practicing these Maps time and time
533s	again and if you have a look at what
535s	what kind of maps we have here
536s	especially if you look at hybrid you got
537s	Kings roow Midtown we're kind kind of
539s	forcing a very brawl heavy meta across
543s	the board here escort is going to be a
544s	bit of an anomaly with both circuit uh
547s	circuit Royale and Route 66 kind of
548s	having their own things going but for
550s	pretty much every other map we're kind
552s	of sticking to one specific style of
555s	play that all of these teams have been
556s	grinding out pretty much ever since that
560s	you know ever since we went off air for
561s	major 3 no for sure and Tiny I want to
563s	get your thoughts on this as well when
565s	we're looking at this map Pool as far as
567s	is there any specific map that's coming
569s	back into the pool right now that you
572s	have your eyes on with some of these
573s	swaps
574s	out as CB said before you really got to
577s	be looking at escort that's circuit
579s	Royale Route 66 these are the two maps
582s	that we likely will not see this brawl
584s	style that's it's kind of at the in
585s	agreement across the board with one
588s	exception that we'll touch on later
590s	circuit Royale Road 66 heavy towards
592s	snipers that poke and really can lead
595s	lead his extra challenge especially with
596s	a lot of games potentially going to five
598s	Maps yeah I'm I'm interested to see
601s	which ones are definitely going to go
602s	the distance this weekend specifically
604s	today the first day that we have here
606s	for C championships but not only are
610s	these players the ones playing out for
611s	some prizing here everyone in chat gets
613s	a little bit of of a piece of the pie if
616s	you will as far as those twitch drops go
619s	we've got to talk about these sick sick
622s	incentives to be watching this stream
625s	right now and the little de decals that
627s	you get in game here CV I I I think
629s	these might be some of the the best
631s	drops that we've ever done I mean you
633s	know take nothing away from the the
634s	contender skins but yeah these are heat
636s	these are adorable I you know I've got a
638s	twitch window up where I'm like farming
640s	the drops over here to get these for
642s	myself I want to be rocking I think that
644s	lower one with the hearts there I think
646s	that's going to be my new uh my new
647s	title going forward or my new name card
649s	going forward here no these are absolute
651s	gas but when we're when we're
654s	considering everything we also have to
655s	head straight into this game we do not
657s	want to wait to get the weekend truly
660s	started so we already introduced how
662s	these teams got here but we also got to
664s	talk about this double elimination
666s	bracket format that we're seeing for
668s	this weekend all of the majors the
670s	minors they were all in that group stage
673s	into playoffs but we're starting
675s	straight out into double liim which
677s	changes things up a little bit here tiny
680s	yeah absolutely a lot of these teams
681s	you're heading straight out into it
683s	there's no group stage those seats are
685s	already decided so while each Squad will
688s	have an extra life should they drop a
690s	game it's going to be a difficult run up
692s	through a potential lowers bracket to
695s	Cloud themselves potentially reaching
697s	those grand finals once again we have a
699s	lot of matchups with the potential to be
701s	close today especially the one we're
703s	starting with oh absolutely looking
705s	towards this first match up timeless
708s	Celestial versus Vancouver Titans blue
710s	is going to be a pretty interesting one
713s	I think CB looking at Timeless Celestial
715s	this team has performed so consistently
718s	but when we looked at Major three into
720s	the lcq VT blue have made grand
724s	improvements over the course of the
726s	season I mean having a look right here
728s	at Timeless Celestial first of all
730s	they're a team that kind of feels like
731s	they have a bit of a chip on their
732s	shoulder especially you know with not
734s	making the playoffs in major 3
737s	everyone's always talking about the
738s	success of their sister team Timeless
740s	ethereal but you know we're forgetting
742s	that some of the players like Street
744s	Lord like the mer and like snower have
747s	at times been an integral part of
749s	Timeless ethereals success you know when
752s	ethereal went on that crazy run through
754s	minor three snoer was the hit scan DPS
757s	that led them through the entirety of it
759s	I mean you know we can't forget the
761s	history of some of these players we
763s	can't forget the talent that this team
764s	has history is written by The Victors
767s	and Timeless celesti you want to write
769s	that history in the Stars they're
771s	definitely the favorite I think in this
773s	particular match up but again that
774s	Improvement tiny when we're looking over
776s	at VT blue as we introduce this roster
779s	up next they have improved so much over
782s	the past couple of events breaking that
785s	uh curse that they had a little bit
787s	finally hitting that one of those higher
789s	finishes this team has been around since
792s	the very beginning of calling all heroes
794s	and it has been nothing but Improvement
797s	every single time we've seen them on
799s	this stage fighting their way through
801s	the lcq made it to the Grand finals but
803s	ended up dropping that 3 against kunichi
807s	so they're not kicking this off perhaps
809s	on the best Note yet this is a squad
811s	that is well practiced They Know Each
813s	Other Well they have the competitive
814s	experience to fight toe-to-toe with the
817s	team such as Timeless Celestial well we
820s	don't have to wait too much longer I am
822s	going to let you two really get straight
825s	into this matchup I cannot wait again
828s	every single match here is a best to
830s	three uh so a best of f or first of
833s	three a best of five if you will but uh
836s	tiny shiny CB take it away
841s	oh thank you so much Ash for the lovely
845s	kickoff we have today first match
847s	Vancouver Titans blue we'll be taking on
849s	Timeless Celestial map already in CB
852s	Antarctic Peninsula our first
854s	destination of the day and again
856s	Antarctic Peninsula is one of those Maps
858s	where it's going to heavily enable that
860s	brawl Centric style I expect to see a
862s	lot of ratra potentially some Arisa
864s	coming out cuz I know that's something
865s	that some teams have been dabbling in
867s	for the most part but on pretty much all
869s	three points I don't expect a whole lot
871s	of variation coming out from either of
872s	these teams I think more or less it's
875s	going to be pretty consistent with what
876s	we've seen so far what we saw a lot
878s	through lcq ex you know save for the
881s	surprises we saw over in lcq but yeah
884s	most more or less what we've uh what
886s	we've already come to know from these
888s	teams nothing really should change again
891s	control maps are just leaned into
894s	running full force at each other hitting
896s	each other in the head whether that is
898s	with an axe or maybe some pummels of
900s	ratra that we will have to wait and see
903s	there's only been very slight variations
905s	to the current meta yet a lot of squads
907s	have settled on more of this junker
909s	Queen variation CB we talk about kind of
911s	the importance I want to highlight the
913s	tank matchup that we're going to get
915s	today it will be cat for Vancouver
918s	Titans blue and Street Lord likely
921s	coming in for tank on the ESS Celestial
922s	Team all right we're going to kick
924s	things off here on labs and I have a
926s	little bit of a fun tidbit about
928s	Vancouver Titans Blu that I've been I've
930s	been itching to share so what is going
932s	to be on the symmetra to start things
934s	off and is going to teleport the team
936s	out of Spawn that's a pretty standard
938s	thing that pretty much everyone does uh
940s	you know how a lot of these teams though
942s	they'll they'll say things like 3 2 1
944s	fighting to try and get themselves
945s	focused up for a match
947s	right VT blue they don't do that they
950s	have a different ritual actually so what
952s	is going to be there ready to teleport
954s	and everybody else on VT blue is going
956s	to start singing the TP song do you you
959s	want to know the lyrics to the TP song I
961s	definitely do now let's hear it they all
964s	chant except for what TP TP cha
969s	cha
970s	magic boom bo boom boom and then they
974s	all get the teleport they're focused up
976s	and they're ready to go and just like we
978s	said it's going to be the ratra matchup
980s	to kick things off soier and may on both
982s	sides keep a close eye on what these
985s	Mays bring to the dance nolar and McMan
988s	have so much control
989s	over the way the battlefield shall
991s	evolve a nice one thrown up actually
993s	from snar first that's cat cut off a
995s	little bit lonely that's shortly broken
998s	on through though L of these main cool
1000s	Downs once they start to go away CB it's
1002s	difficult for teams to decide how
1003s	they're going to take the fight in what
1005s	direction so we need to wait and see are
1007s	they going to back off a little that's
1009s	what time of slush are doing they're
1010s	going towards that objective now able to
1012s	be contested McMan and kqa battling it
1016s	out nice walls separating the Lucio and
1018s	VT blue have won the Battle of the Mind
1020s	nobody has yet to fall but time
1023s	Celestial will not let this objective go
1024s	down without a fight they're playing so
1027s	slow so cautious respecting each other's
1030s	play style and you absolutely love to
1031s	see it from these teams that they're
1032s	waiting for these major ultimates and
1034s	Waller easily winning the race to the
1036s	app Matrix time cesti have the back even
1038s	further around this corner and yet
1040s	everyone is still on their feet nobody
1042s	wants to be the first to make a mistake
1044s	you can really feel the pressure of the
1045s	entire weekend is everybody is just
1047s	trying to jockey for position and not be
1049s	the first one to fall Claire's matx
1051s	sorry immortality field already gone and
1053s	now the pick's going to start coming for
1055s	Timeless Celestial and that was a Zur
1057s	wrapping up around The High Ground as a
1059s	matter of fact charging up these rail
1061s	shots in BT blue they're cred in the
1063s	corner they got to say bye-bye to that
1065s	first count and VT blue are going to
1067s	come out of it with a pretty healthy ult
1068s	Bank they've got nearly everything here
1070s	and only 15% on the board for Timeless
1072s	Celestial who were able to get the cap
1073s	towards the tail end of that fight
1075s	looking for VT blue to try and utilize
1077s	this blizzard advantage for mman
1079s	hopefully if they're able to get it in
1081s	time before snaz has has a chance to
1083s	catch up and toss one of her own
1086s	in biggest thing to watch out for things
1089s	are about to get even colder here in the
1091s	Antarctic Peninsula but VT blue they
1094s	have the ult advantage they just need to
1096s	act on it first otherwise time Celestial
1098s	will be there to meet it ant Matrix out
1100s	first what sliding in taking control of
1103s	extra space across the long ways of the
1104s	objective there's that blizzard we've
1106s	been talking about both of them as a a
1107s	matter of fact neither getting too much
1109s	done but midman was cut off Street Lord
1112s	able to find them and auray sitting on
1114s	The High Ground all rail shot fired in
1116s	the back that's a second going down the
1118s	annihilation getting a whole lot of
1119s	nothing time of celestial still in
1121s	control and on this map specifically but
1123s	on a lot of these Maps what you're going
1125s	to see is you're going to see the Lucio
1126s	split off with the soldier so that you
1128s	can have someone like Azure over ping an
1130s	angle like that where VT blue are going
1132s	to have to try and play the opposite
1134s	High ground but you have the Lucio there
1135s	to provide the healing provide the speed
1137s	get azer out if it gets a little bit too
1139s	hot that soj has to try and relocate in
1141s	this instance the overclock comes
1143s	through the kills come through and BT
1145s	blue are starting to run out of time 80%
1147s	and Ticking were in one fight territory
1149s	and that ult ADV Advantage they had for
1150s	the last fight is done and gone going
1153s	have to be a hero play from what we know
1155s	that she has it in her it just needs to
1157s	matter can to get to The High Ground no
1158s	that's n mag BL can a baller just shuts
1161s	down the overclock the last tool that BT
1163s	B had in their Arsenal now it's just
1165s	Streeter going through the purple Trends
1167s	draining the life away as Timeless
1170s	Celestial walking away with a clean o on
1173s	laps and it feels like I said like VT
1175s	blue are kind of walking on eggshells
1177s	like they're afraid to be the first ones
1179s	to make a mistake so they don't want to
1180s	be the ones to make the first move and
1182s	that's giving time of celestial the
1184s	opportunity to try and be that one that
1186s	makes the first move that sets the tempo
1188s	even right from the get-go they position
1190s	themselves back towards the point so
1192s	that VT blue had to fight through them
1194s	to get to the objective and sure they
1195s	were able to kind of get in there use
1197s	some may walls to force time the
1199s	celestial back get themselves a little
1200s	bit of positioning it didn't really
1202s	matter once the amp Maes from mer came
1204s	through and once the rest of the kills
1205s	started coming through four time of
1206s	celestial and VT blue just really never
1209s	had an opportunity to buy themselves
1211s	back into it save for that one point in
1213s	time where again McMan was ahead in
1215s	blizzard charge but VT blue wasn't able
1217s	to leverage that it took too long
1219s	because they didn't want to go in you
1221s	know too
1222s	headstrong no and that's really an issue
1225s	with control points and brawl comps in
1227s	general right A lot of it is can you use
1229s	this speed to catch your opponents off
1231s	guard and because both teams are so
1233s	cautious it's just waiting for somebody
1235s	to make an error that can be capitalized
1238s	upon Vancouver Titans blue their wall
1240s	coming out first if they get the
1242s	rotation over to the objective Tim of
1244s	celestial standing as strong as ever
1246s	it's the same old waiting game that we
1248s	got a glimpse of back on the beginning
1250s	of labs vtb they're actually getting a
1253s	decent amount of cap on the point
1254s	somebody's got to get over quickly from
1256s	ESS Celestial the thrat throwing the
1259s	tendrils at each other now the fist
1261s	start to come out BT blue they're scared
1262s	they're backing up just slightly the
1265s	health though for Street Lord incredibly
1266s	low can they manage to get back to
1268s	safety yes all of the cool Downs are
1270s	available yet a small mistake BT blue
1273s	now in control of that objective that
1274s	percentage ticking up even if it's a 4v4
1276s	kqa has to make up for the loss of their
1279s	tank because there's no way the time are
1281s	going to find a way to fight this
1283s	objective head on out that big monster
1286s	in the way but who needs that if you got
1288s	a z right fire on the rails from the
1289s	back line This Time Around It is VT blue
1292s	that are the ones that position
1293s	themselves on the point and force ESS
1295s	Celestial to play into them but the fact
1297s	that sosler was able to get that pickoff
1299s	onto McMan towards the very end shows
1301s	the importance of the May in these
1302s	compositions even though Street Lord
1305s	fell the May is arguably more important
1307s	than the tank in some of these
1309s	situations especially on a really tight
1310s	and narrow map like Icebreaker here
1312s	where the May walls are everything and
1314s	ESS Celestial will able to capitalize
1316s	off that an early pick off onto cler 2
1318s	me once again M McMan just going to have
1320s	to throw it in reverse the rest of V
1322s	blue pump their braks and we're back to
1324s	walking on eggshells as they're getting
1326s	walked on oh this is a problem and me
1328s	timeo Celestial they're pushing the
1329s	advantage right now and the blizzard got
1330s	thrown out from McMan that's worst case
1332s	scenario for BT blue right now they're
1334s	staggering terribly because the zuray is
1336s	just taking them out one by one the
1338s	bleeding has to stop here and I don't
1340s	think it's going to cuz have a look at
1342s	that ult bank there's a lot of
1343s	instruments of torture online for time
1345s	Celestial they can definitely bleed VT
1348s	blue dry if they want to we're going to
1350s	have to have an Eco push here from BT
1351s	blue as hopefully they can get one or
1353s	two of these ultimates out and try and
1355s	match up their own old Bank they're
1356s	getting close but McMan throwing out
1358s	that blizzard is definitely putting them
1360s	at a disadvantage they have to try and
1361s	even that out somehow some way sosler
1364s	not going to let it happen no it's not
1366s	going to be now the blizzard isolating a
1367s	couple of these players what you are a
1369s	dead woman but no snaz get sent off the
1372s	map can't swim in The Frigid Waters of
1374s	Antarctic Peninsula clal SES still in
1377s	control of this objective but slightly
1379s	less so than before VT blue identified
1381s	the opportunity pumping every remaining
1383s	resource that they can into this fight
1385s	it is a must-win situation if they get
1387s	another opportunity they're not going to
1388s	find one like this Timeless Celestial
1391s	their old tank has been depleted there's
1392s	one in the back seat BT blue once what
1396s	can return from the spawns there is a
1397s	chance for this to happen they might not
1399s	even need it with the run that cat has
1401s	bringing out her clocks Claire dies
1403s	towards the end though so that's an
1404s	opening for ESS Celestial to come back
1406s	in BT blue have to find a way to shut
1408s	the door on them and it looks like they
1410s	might have but with sosler back in The
1412s	Fray Timeless Celestial they can make
1414s	their own doors they actually are going
1416s	to do just that I mean look at them
1418s	they're pushing incredibly aggressively
1419s	not having their tank on the field now
1422s	GT Blue they're going to have to hold
1424s	this one out it is one fight territory
1426s	for Timeless Celestial and what has the
1428s	tool to shut it out down we need to see
1430s	it now the more that you're allowing
1432s	Street to do the less likely you can
1434s	come back is incredibly low looking for
1436s	just one final blow but the shots
1438s	they're not not fair time of celestial
1440s	wisely hiding around the corner and now
1443s	BT blue they're going to have this win
1444s	this one high and dry nothing against
1446s	the double damage and healing that poer
1448s	is outputting the Timeless out match in
1450s	terms of the resource game get the flip
1452s	back on over VT blue they're hanging
1454s	around in this fight is important that
1456s	they cannot stagger if this goes on
1458s	through time of Celestia looking Prime
1459s	to take the MX Nostalgia giving them the
1461s	wave of resurge and sound barrier into
1464s	play someone has to be isolated timeo
1466s	Celestial they're sticking to each other
1468s	like glue and tearing BT blue apart
1471s	player after player Street Lord with the
1473s	nail in the coffin will be the
1475s	annihilation timeo Celestial up with map
1478s	number one it seemed like when they
1480s	needed it most Nostalgia did come up
1482s	with the sound barrier but I mean you
1484s	had to try and capitalize on you had to
1486s	use that over Health to pounce on
1488s	anybody from time to Celestial and get
1490s	the kill and they weren't able to do so
1491s	I mean even if that fight had dragged on
1493s	a couple more seconds kqa would have had
1495s	a sound barrier as well and I think time
1497s	celestial would have just walked away
1499s	with that one and it's another you know
1502s	kind of situation where it feels like a
1504s	failure to execute for VT blue a failure
1506s	to take that initiative be the one to
1508s	try and set the tone because they feel a
1510s	little bit afraid of making mistakes you
1513s	know they they're a team that has busted
1514s	their ass to get here and of course they
1516s	don't want all that work to be for
1517s	nothing they don't want to go in and
1519s	play dumb but you also have to play you
1522s	know you have to play aggressively you
1523s	have to play fast you have to play like
1525s	your game you have to make the other
1527s	team adapt to you and right now they're
1529s	just putty in Timeless Celestial hands
1532s	it does make you wonder if that loss in
1535s	the lcq had affected their confidence CV
1539s	this is not the team that we're used to
1540s	seeing out of Vancouver Titans blue
1543s	normally they can come out with a game
1544s	plan and look confident while doing it
1546s	but as you said they are being shaped
1548s	and molded by Timeless Celestial right
1550s	now they're getting walked on absolutely
1552s	and now that time of celestial we
1554s	definitely saw it towards the end of
1555s	Icebreaker once they started to realize
1557s	that btb they didn't have that
1559s	confidence they got more aggressive they
1561s	were taking more space and that Tempo
1563s	entirely in their control and we're
1566s	still capable of seeing some hero plays
1567s	coming out like that one Boop from
1569s	Nostalgia I can't even stress enough how
1571s	important that Boop was onto snoer to
1573s	knock her off of the uh off of the map
1575s	immediately after she used the blizzard
1577s	you come in get that Boop and taking out
1580s	the enemy May giving yourself all the
1582s	space in the world for your team to walk
1583s	right through you even see snoer like
1585s	gets the kill onto what but you trade
1588s	soj for a May again May is critical in
1591s	these brawl compositions you'll take
1592s	that any day of the week even if you
1594s	have to give up a DPS to do it
1595s	absolutely VT blue Capp the point off of
1597s	that but they just don't have enough
1599s	tools to hold it and we also need to
1603s	mention the Aur Factor look at that 21
1607s	and one throughout the course of this
1609s	map if this doesn't tell you what
1611s	happened during Antarctic Peninsula I
1613s	don't know what does seeing the supports
1615s	never going down CB I mean this just
1617s	shows that btb were really struggling to
1620s	get their foot in the door and and part
1622s	of the way that you play this ratra
1623s	composition is you know again we're
1625s	still kind of jocking for the May walls
1627s	but what you want to do is if you pop
1629s	the Nemesis form you want to be able to
1631s	walk on a backliner particularly the
1632s	Baptist and just try and get a quick
1634s	assassination kill with that Nemesis
1636s	form but cat has was never able to get
1639s	that done and I think that also kind of
1640s	goes to show just how how how afraid VT
1644s	blue feels to really go in and try and
1646s	commit for something like that because
1647s	that's like an Allin kind of play
1650s	absolutely and you know you have to have
1652s	that level of confidence at some point
1654s	you need to realize that there is no
1656s	Escape Route it's either you win or you
1657s	don't but if you never take the chance
1659s	to begin with that there's nothing to
1661s	happen right you're just going back to
1662s	the spawn rooms you're resetting and
1664s	running it back over and over and we
1665s	need to see that Tempo change Vancouver
1668s	Titans blue have picked Kings Row to be
1671s	their second map with the way that this
1674s	is structured CB I mean they really need
1677s	to step up their pedal on the tempo a
1680s	absolutely we have to find some more
1681s	opportunities for cat to go in and try
1682s	and get some of the kills onto the
1683s	backline again it didn't really feel
1685s	like BT blue ever made that kind of
1687s	opportunity for themselves that they
1688s	ever really took the initiative to do
1690s	that but on the flip side we also do
1692s	have to talk about Timeless Celestial
1694s	because again like I said at the you
1695s	know at the top of the show when we were
1696s	introducing them they are sick and tired
1699s	of being overlooked compared to their
1700s	sister team Timeless etherial a lot of
1702s	the players on this team were integral
1704s	parts of Timeless ethereal success
1706s	throughout the entire season this is an
1707s	extremely talented Squad that we cannot
1710s	and should not write off and VT blue
1713s	they they have to play a little bit
1714s	better if they want to try and topple
1716s	someone like
1717s	this it's going to be on King's Row they
1721s	can start to change that Tempo around
1724s	and this map can be just as devastating
1727s	to play against azur needs to be kept in
1731s	check a lot of these fights that were
1732s	staggered out or that vtb lost a player
1735s	immediately you know who was the culprit
1737s	little Aur on that Soldier just arming
1740s	up those charge shots off of cat finding
1742s	a player in the backline more often than
1745s	not B blue quite a bit to look at as
1748s	they head into King's Row and I I talk a
1751s	little bit about nostalgia's hero plays
1753s	but I mean when you're going up against
1755s	someone like azer who's just kind of
1756s	popping off with that sojourn that's
1758s	going to put a lot of pressure onto your
1759s	own sojourn what who we have seen
1762s	capable of having you know having just
1765s	as good a hero plays but that's a lot of
1767s	pressure to ask that of a player
1769s	consistently that's not the kind of
1770s	thing that someone should always be
1772s	asked to do you as a collective should
1775s	be able to come together and set your
1777s	team up for that kind of success what
1779s	shouldn't have to rely on the entire
1781s	team to do all the heavy lifting it
1782s	should just be like you know it's done
1785s	you know we we have the space that I
1787s	need to hit these
1789s	shots blue haven't been able to provide
1792s	it so far with them being on the defense
1795s	you got to see them dig their heals in a
1796s	little bit more give what that space to
1799s	work we know that she's capable of it CV
1801s	we've seen it from her time and time
1803s	again it's just a matter of can VT blue
1807s	push time Celestial far enough apart to
1810s	get make those opportunities possible
1812s	time Celestial they have the opportunity
1814s	to set the pace on the other hand here
1817s	CB they can keep up with that momentum
1819s	from last map we might be seeing one
1821s	quick
1822s	run we very well might snaza going to
1825s	open it up with a Widowmaker pick but
1827s	she's definitely not going to stick on
1828s	this going to go and swap back over to
1829s	the may very important by the way we saw
1831s	a little glimpse of it but what and
1833s	Nostalgia are posted up on what you're
1835s	currently seeing is the upper right hand
1837s	side that High Ground where you know
1839s	this Duo is going to have a good shot
1841s	over the choke and on the other side
1843s	you've got McMan who is ready to try and
1845s	set up a wall as Sim of celestial
1847s	rotates around the statue looking for an
1849s	opportunity for cat to pop that Nemesis
1851s	form and get a kill on either a squishy
1852s	or pressure down streetboard it's all
1855s	waiting for that positioning against s
1856s	has to stay alive nope you will not be
1858s	getting out of that one but the trade
1859s	for McAn is there aurite was sitting
1862s	right behind Street Lord finding that
1864s	shot what had to drop out down from The
1866s	High Ground find someone in their spot
1867s	snar uh-uh this belongs to me the trade
1870s	will come through while they are even
1872s	for now look how much closer those
1874s	attacker spawns are Timeless Celestial
1877s	they can just get a soft reset where BT
1879s	blue they got to back the heck off get
1881s	their DPS back in the game and AZ was
1883s	able to take that high ground with both
1885s	kqa and the merer up there and I mean
1888s	that's a really typic difficult du or
1889s	duel for a what to win when you only
1891s	have Nostalgia there what do I say kqa
1894s	is full on contesting The High Ground I
1896s	mean look at the way that time with
1898s	Celestial they're splitting they're
1899s	covering all of their angles and BT blue
1901s	they've been effectively shoved off the
1903s	point now have to fight their way back
1904s	in much more difficult to do and Matrix
1907s	helping just a little bit time of
1908s	celestial health bars are going that's
1910s	to til them Aller built on Up of their
1912s	own the placement absolutely wonderful
1914s	giving auray all the room in the world
1917s	to do what they do best and
1921s	that's a lot a lot of head clicking
1923s	going on right now McMan staggered out a
1926s	little bit there but they are inevitably
1927s	going to fall just so ESS Celestial can
1929s	get the cart going but they're not
1931s	content with just that they're all going
1932s	to try and hold forward deny any sort of
1935s	space take all of Street space for
1936s	themselves actually no looks like
1938s	they're content to hang tight at this
1940s	corner here probably set up sosler for a
1942s	wall and maybe Street Lord go in with
1944s	the annihilation if needed have to see
1946s	how they decide to to play this one out
1949s	as you're ready going to try and bait VT
1950s	blue in little slide back now see if VT
1953s	blue takes the bait
1955s	here VT blue there's a couple options
1958s	where they can hold around this corner
1960s	but they get too far off they still
1961s	don't see him Street Lord is sitting in
1964s	the back how are they letting this
1965s	happen surprise surprise peekaboo Street
1967s	Lord is here to dominate the streets of
1969s	Kings Row that's the May wall coming on
1972s	up but it doesn't do a whole lot then
1973s	having a dead May on the field BT blue
1976s	this is their chance to start to
1977s	stabilize and they are certainly taking
1979s	it to the max getting a hold here around
1982s	this bookstore would be ideal and that
1984s	now seems to be the case yeah ends up
1986s	being a little bit greedy there snaz
1988s	goes in for the blizzard but she falls
1990s	courtesy of nostalgia who's once again
1991s	got sn's number there and that's huge
1993s	for VT blue cuz they're able to do it
1995s	without investing any major ult of their
1997s	own they're about to have a hefty ult
1998s	Bank McMan has their own Blizzard at
2000s	Timeless leals now going to have to play
2002s	into and going through this Archway and
2004s	into these streets that's where the
2006s	blizzard is going to be a key ultimate
2008s	ability that you're going to want to
2009s	keep an eye on also keep an eye out for
2011s	what there's not a whole lot of flank
2013s	angles for her here but if she's able to
2015s	find one maybe get nestled in really
2017s	deep and Pop That overclock we might see
2019s	some hero plays coming out of her if
2021s	they need it oh no what's not even going
2023s	to be alive the blizzard has to make up
2024s	for it h Celestial they're feeling just
2027s	as warm as they had a cup of hot
2028s	chocolate ready to steam on forwards
2030s	stopping the momentum the Clare window
2033s	is enough to Halt that thas Celestial
2034s	will be wise to play those corners
2038s	spoiler on the cart there I know
2040s	right you got that a that a custom mod
2043s	there snaza let's go all right VT blue
2045s	though still going to try and jocky for
2046s	this position but the card has made a
2047s	lot of progress this time of celestial
2048s	and they're going to go for a little bit
2049s	more with Mer's
2051s	window window is going up with that may
2054s	wall enough to effectively allow VT blue
2057s	Escape back towards that third objective
2060s	the only ones that have it are dulia
2061s	who's even further back in the spawn
2063s	rooms cat popping the annihilation just
2066s	to stay alive andu going down he there's
2068s	still a chance for The Blue Team to
2070s	stabilize in this event cat all that
2072s	they can do is hold this barrier up in
2074s	front of them hoping for more players to
2077s	get back reinforcements yes they are
2079s	coming in the elimination potential is
2082s	not there what has to find for rhythm at
2084s	some point today all it takes is
2086s	Annihilation pop from Street Lord and
2087s	this fight becomes really darn difficult
2090s	to go ahead and win the Mega pack grab
2092s	these tendel aren't stopping and this is
2095s	looking to be a second Objective C
2097s	boundary headed on
2100s	through and that's that's such a good
2102s	play for Street Lord but that's exactly
2104s	what I'm talking about they understand
2106s	that cat's only Lifeline is CLA back
2108s	there on the Baptist and Street Lord
2109s	knows that they just walk right on that
2111s	backline put the pressure out and even
2112s	invest the annihilation to keep
2114s	pressuring the backline and there's not
2116s	a damn thing that CLA can do about it
2117s	and there's nothing that cat can
2119s	realistically do to stop it cuz they
2120s	have to keep holding the cart so once
2122s	all that's done once you have the
2123s	backline pressured Timeless Celestial
2125s	they just secure the point in a neat
2126s	little zip lock bag they've got 3
2128s	minutes to try and get the full cap here
2130s	VT blue starting to dig their heals in
2132s	though a pick with on the onto kqa with
2134s	an icicle that's a good start they have
2136s	to and they need to take as much as
2139s	possible in order for this to be
2141s	maintained it's a decent amount of time
2143s	they're going to have to hold this out
2144s	with all those ultimates gone here VT
2146s	blue need to be careful with their
2147s	resources I mean they about to have a
2150s	lot of resources of their own here but
2151s	that hasn't always given them the
2153s	advantage thus far I'm looking to see
2155s	McMan if they're going to go Ahad and
2156s	pop this blizzard here soon knowing that
2158s	timeus Les doesn't have a whole lot for
2159s	it they are they going to fall it's
2162s	Azure oh but the blizzard it's massive
2164s	hits onto both the tank and the baller
2166s	that's enough to even it up aurite
2168s	you're not pushing up without a tank
2170s	you'd be absolutely mad to do so needs
2172s	to back off and reset snar would get
2175s	nearly far enough away because the McMan
2178s	blizzard changed the game and that's
2180s	value right there one ult one fight one
2182s	minute off the clock two more to go you
2184s	keep this up VT blue you might have
2186s	stopped this card just as you need to
2188s	but Timeless lesal now they have a sound
2190s	barrier coming up so all of the tools
2192s	that VT blue are going to have are going
2194s	to be easily matched a lot of pressure
2195s	is going to be on kqa here but it is an
2198s	opportunity for Timeless Celestial to
2199s	maybe wether the storm that is a coming
2202s	from the Vancouver
2203s	Titans UT blue their goal is to win this
2206s	fight using as few resources as possible
2210s	wor what they can out of the attacking
2212s	team cat in a dangerous situation booed
2215s	on back sound barriers in play on either
2218s	side now what potentially hit the
2220s	eliminations gets first time that duel
2222s	is W for the day and you're going to
2223s	want to see even more of that going on
2225s	forward is frozen up and ends up falling
2228s	icicle to the Dome BT blue now there in
2232s	a bit of trouble cat bailing them out
2234s	leashing the claws and the reach has
2236s	extended only a minute remains in time
2239s	of celestials Tim that was an expensive
2242s	fight for VT blue though ran their pants
2244s	ran their pockets so deep they forgot
2245s	they're wearing pants they don't have
2246s	any ult left time the celestial going to
2248s	have two big ones in the overclock and
2251s	the annihilation and you you don't even
2253s	have Nostalgia around try mitigate any
2255s	of the damage or speed boost yourself
2257s	out of it you can see timeo Celestial
2258s	now going to March forward with that
2260s	Annihilation they're going for it as
2262s	soon as one goes down they know the rest
2264s	should fall like dominoes as B BL
2266s	Retreat into the spawn room there is no
2268s	way out they used all of their ultimates
2270s	in that last fight and now you have to
2273s	get yourself back out what picking up
2274s	the Widowmaker hoping to catch somebody
2275s	by surprise pop shot in and out but can
2278s	a contest happen no it's a Boop on
2281s	through Street Lord continues to lock
2283s	down the spawns the players have a
2285s	crumbled and the cap will happen and I
2288s	got to give it to Street Lord I called
2290s	out that fight where they went onto the
2291s	backline to take down CLA put the
2293s	pressure in onto the backline knowing
2295s	there was nothing that cat could do
2296s	about it they do the exact same thing
2298s	there towards the tail end of the fight
2300s	when the stakes are even higher when you
2302s	have to have your tank on the payload to
2303s	try and get the contest the lifeline is
2306s	always going to be that Baptist if the
2307s	Baptist is dead the the ratra will soon
2311s	follow and you can even kind of see just
2313s	the sheer difference in what street Lord
2315s	is doing compared to cat here 19 and one
2318s	for Street
2319s	Lord and that's to be expected these two
2322s	tanks have incredibly different play
2325s	styles that we've been seeing Street
2327s	Lord isn't I'm not afraid of anything
2329s	I'm going to go throw punches at you if
2330s	I end up dying I trust my team to come
2332s	back whereas cat is playing a lot more
2335s	passive waiting for what to hit get a
2337s	shot or MCB to put up a great wall
2339s	before something happens and we're
2341s	seeing the the results of those two
2343s	Styles not only within the current score
2346s	of the map but those statistics as well
2348s	especially being on the attack BT blue
2351s	they need to find their Rhythm can't be
2353s	scared to cats all the time you need to
2356s	strike Celestial where it hurts the most
2358s	shout out to shout out to CLA though by
2359s	the way for having exactly 10,000
2361s	healing I mean that's uh that's very
2363s	satisfying to see just one z0000 Z real
2366s	really good stuff there but it's also
2367s	kind of illustrating just how much
2369s	resources she's putting into cat and
2372s	it's not really working it is slowing
2374s	the pace down but they weren't able to
2376s	get the cart into OT the cap still comes
2378s	through for Timeless Celestial and now
2380s	VT blue like they're going to have to
2382s	take this into Extra Innings if they
2383s	want to win this map and take us you
2385s	know to a nice even 1-1 here once again
2388s	looking at the positioning same deal you
2390s	got Azure and kqa playing over the split
2392s	with the soier Lucio on The High Ground
2394s	while everyone else jockey around the
2395s	statue but time celest are playing a
2397s	little bit more forward than BT blue did
2400s	and it's already paying dividends you
2402s	have so many opportunities to use the
2404s	May walls defensively when you're
2405s	playing up this far in CL of celestial
2408s	they're essentially guaranteeing another
2410s	fight that BT blue have to get you saw
2412s	them try to rotate around this High
2414s	ground with both McMan and Nostalgia
2417s	neither of which were able to get
2419s	anywhere looks like uh it looks like
2421s	Azure has kind of pulled back a little
2424s	bit as well as kqa so there's a little
2426s	bit more space for VT blue to try and
2427s	come in on this High Ground Nostalgia
2429s	going to take it now the entirety of
2431s	time of celestial playing back in this
2432s	Archway means VT blue can get themselves
2434s	set up on the point we also have what on
2437s	this extreme flank High Ground angle kqa
2439s	has to try and take her out but look she
2441s	still has OverWatch over the entire
2443s	point right now yeah what is in control
2445s	of The High Ground and kqa is not the
2447s	best one to keep her in check and ends
2450s	up going down for it time of SL Shield
2452s	they don't have a way in Street Lord
2453s	knows it the time to strike it manag to
2455s	take a bolt McMan and Cat throughout all
2458s	of the chaos what has done her job to
2460s	clear The High Ground get the yes rest
2462s	of the team unable to receive the
2463s	assistance in the amount of damage has
2466s	crumbled and now she's high and dry like
2468s	you can see all the the spam damage
2470s	coming in her way she can't really get a
2471s	good angle she has the rail shot and
2473s	maybe able to find an angle to use it or
2474s	maybe slide in from behind try and catch
2476s	somebody who's coming out from the
2477s	Arches but she has to play safe until
2479s	the rest of the team is back now we got
2480s	dueling and mat is coming out BT blue
2483s	back on the point what once again in
2485s	position can she find anything
2487s	what has the entire High Ground of Kings
2490s	Row under lock it she just doesn't
2492s	manage to find these shots find these
2494s	angles and BT blue are stuck in this W
2497s	ground McMan though tucking out the
2498s	blizzard manag to catch anybody no that
2501s	one does not yet it's the space BT blue
2504s	needed to push on up and they managed to
2506s	break through the barrier unlocking this
2509s	payload phase it and it all comes down
2511s	to what being able to hold that position
2512s	for as long as she did despite kqa
2514s	coming up to try and dislodge her wasn't
2516s	able to do so she stays alive and stays
2518s	a constant threat that time of celestial
2520s	they can dedicate some resources to try
2522s	and deal with but unless she unless
2524s	she's permanently extinguished and sent
2526s	back to spawn with the rest of her team
2528s	she's always going to be a threat and
2529s	you can't let the rest of vblue just
2531s	walk right in and set that pinch back up
2534s	so when you see that McMan throws out
2536s	the blizzard there towards the end it's
2537s	not even as deep as I would have liked
2538s	to see it but you still have what in a
2540s	position to capitalize and BT blue are
2542s	able to crack point a they're also able
2544s	to break through that Archway they might
2545s	even get straight here with a great wall
2547s	from
2549s	McMan Wall comes on up and it's going to
2551s	block a lot ofur shots very important KN
2554s	how deadly this player can become as
2556s	soon as the overclock is L and she still
2558s	manages to find what the trade-off is
2560s	there cat finding significant value even
2562s	Frozen up within the blizzard time of
2565s	celestial they knew how to counter out
2566s	the ultimate but they don't have the
2568s	players to make it happen losing a Zur
2570s	early on it's a devastating blow V blue
2573s	are finding the momentum they are riding
2575s	that wave of success and and taking more
2577s	space but they were only able to have
2579s	Nostalgia on the cart that whole time
2581s	now they're getting three on the payload
2582s	but that's giving ESS Celestial an
2584s	opportunity to come back for this last
2585s	second push here at this corner and this
2586s	is where it gets really difficult for
2589s	Vancouver Titans blue what is once again
2590s	on a flank angle will the overclock find
2592s	anything it has to or VT blue have
2594s	stalled out it gets noar that is a
2596s	perfect pick to go through Street Lord
2598s	on the other side though has marched to
2599s	the back of the team continuously
2601s	finding CLA in times that you don't
2603s	think that it should be possible now the
2605s	annihilation getting pop Street Lord is
2607s	doing way too much time of celestial
2610s	should be sent back to the spawn at the
2612s	rate they're going with the tank Pawn
2614s	cat there's no fear pushing on up just
2617s	need to get these couple of players down
2619s	and they need to do it fast but no the
2620s	baller and auray tag teaming it once
2622s	again every single time an at Matrix
2625s	comes out it is always at least one of
2627s	lim from Aur I think McMan also tried to
2630s	pop the blizzard there but I think it Ma
2631s	Jax towards the beginning there before
2633s	Street Lord po that Annihilation I think
2634s	they were trying to get them out of that
2636s	annihilation with the blizzard but it
2637s	didn't hit the ground before McMan did
2640s	and even though it seems like that ant
2641s	Matrix from the mer was a little bit
2643s	excessive cuz you only really got two
2645s	kills with it you can afford to invest
2646s	something like that when the other team
2648s	has made a Fool's investment like that
2651s	blizzard now BT blue this is their
2654s	chance I mean Thom Le they got nothing
2655s	in the tank is at Matrix could just be
2658s	the thing that is needed to push the pad
2661s	over the edge what once again in control
2663s	of that high round Aur goes down BT blue
2666s	they're to a strong start nice wall to
2668s	isolate Street Lord and the confirm the
2670s	imination has to go through but no what
2672s	is the one that falls instead it's just
2674s	these icicles from snar arguably one of
2677s	the best maze that we have within coo
2680s	Heroes right now is keeping BT blue back
2683s	at times that they should be winning
2685s	fight CB hey and you know what's crazy
2687s	about sosler we'll get to that in a
2688s	second because cat's going to go ahead
2689s	and pop the annihilation B blue don't
2691s	want to end this fight just yet
2693s	Nostalgia is holding on to the sound
2694s	barrier might opt to pop it but not get
2696s	the they get themselves by the mer
2699s	blizzard comes out from sosler and his
2701s	fight should be done in DED for VT blue
2704s	this should be done in theory but F blue
2706s	they're not backing off they're still
2708s	trying to push on top when time
2709s	Celestial they have the sound barrier
2711s	there's not enough support on the other
2713s	side to continue pumping the resources
2715s	on in mman still thinks it's winable
2716s	though a Bard going on out to get some
2718s	Su right yes all right ft blue I'm sorry
2721s	I ever doubted you but you need to get
2723s	these next eliminations the baller has
2724s	not gone down this entire time and T
2726s	Celestial are alive because of their bti
2729s	player he needs to be the number one
2732s	target for this objective now that they
2734s	end up falling the point is capped with
2736s	2 minutes for the final objective but my
2739s	goodness was this struggle boss to get
2740s	here I'm starting to like what I'm
2742s	seeing out of VT blue though they're
2743s	getting more Scrappy and some of these
2745s	plays maybe they're a little bit
2746s	desperate but they are working they are
2748s	bearing fruit and they are able to get
2750s	that cap despite at at least two
2751s	different points that fight looking like
2753s	it should have been completely done over
2755s	with lost go back to the drawing board
2757s	come back for another round but now you
2759s	got two more minutes to try and get
2760s	through Street space here they still
2761s	have S they still have momentum but they
2763s	don't have McMan aay I'm telling you CB
2767s	as soon as auray gets going she's not
2770s	stopping until she's dead that's a third
2772s	out of just a real gun alone I mean to
2775s	win these fights completely in the
2777s	neutral I mean time Celestial they're
2778s	building up this incredible ult bank
2780s	that it's going to be very difficult to
2781s	stop look where sosler is playing by the
2784s	way on the Symetra with a nice little TP
2787s	being real sneaky now you even got
2789s	Street playing up really far with the
2791s	annihilation if needed but how are they
2793s	going to get snar out of this little
2795s	corner here I don't think they do to be
2798s	totally honest with you I mean snar is
2799s	locked up in so many things H Celestial
2802s	told that they're going to have to give
2803s	up on their symmetra and the rest of
2805s	their team the nice part about taking
2806s	this hold Incredibly Close is the
2808s	payload has not moved at all and
2810s	guarantees at least one more contest
2812s	coming through yeah potentially two
2814s	because the's going to move a little bit
2815s	slow VT blue are going to get all three
2817s	on there and get around this next corner
2819s	here but you're going to have maybe a
2820s	fight at this corner and then a stagger
2822s	fight in OT and you're going to have the
2825s	ults to match VT blue so time the
2826s	celestial haven't exactly set themselves
2829s	up for success but have at least set
2830s	themselves up for parody here snaz are
2832s	going for another cheeky teleport play
2835s	going to go ahead and invest the photon
2836s	barrier isn't actually able to get
2837s	teleported to The High Ground but this
2839s	does mean the time of SL you want to
2840s	start applying the pressure VT blue
2843s	going to back off they're going to kite
2844s	but they don't have a whole lot of time
2846s	left no I mean it's not the end of the
2848s	world with they cap in over time but it
2849s	needs to be a cap not having mman is a
2851s	blow what evening out the playing field
2854s	just enough find the success with the
2856s	overclock yes she can that's a z going
2858s	on through just before the sou barrier
2860s	hits the ground BT blue they're in this
2862s	it's cat versus Street Lord the battle
2864s	of the annihilations the colorful Pils
2867s	capturing the entirety of both of their
2869s	screens Street Lord still stands with
2871s	the ultimate it has to end soon the
2872s	contest can continue nickman returning
2875s	with an ace in their pocket blizzard
2877s	coming on out that's the tank locked up
2880s	and Frozen all the effort thrown in to
2882s	keep Street Lord alive how are they
2883s	still on their beat K8 and the baller
2885s	are absolutely nuts to keep this one
2888s	alive now you have time of celestial in
2890s	a point behind and at Mak just you can't
2892s	ask for more what on the Widowmaker
2894s	you're not going to do anything
2895s	contesting a part one payload might be
2897s	nice but if you can't contest this T
2900s	bake will run on down time of celestial
2902s	now up on Match Point it it's so Scrappy
2906s	and it's definitely a sign of
2908s	improvement from VT blue like we have
2909s	seen from them all season long but it's
2911s	still not enough because Timeless
2913s	Celestial they're feeling themselves
2915s	right now they are confident they know
2917s	how to play this game and they are
2918s	playing it to Perfection they are
2919s	bending but they are not breaking they
2921s	know when to kite they know when to back
2923s	up and they knew that they had the
2925s	opportunity to take that fight at the
2926s	corner and still have time for that
2928s	later stagger fight that would
2930s	inevitably bleed together actually into
2932s	just one really really long fight
2934s	especially thanks to that pickoff onto
2936s	what just as she was coming out of that
2937s	overclock she was able to find yeah one
2939s	pick but that spawn Advantage it it
2941s	feels like the olden days of assault
2943s	where you need to find more than one you
2945s	need to find all five or you might as
2947s	well have not have found a single one
2950s	you get Azure that comes back you know
2952s	does does more damage does what what
2954s	they've been doing pretty much all game
2955s	long and ESS Celestial they take King's
2958s	Row but we're getting a little bit
2961s	closer and it's still VT Blue's map pick
2964s	it is it will be their final one of the
2966s	series regardless if they win it or not
2969s	flash point must be the turning point
2972s	for Vancouver Titans blue otherwise
2974s	they're going to find themselves in a
2976s	very early losers bracket spot no team
2979s	wants to find themselves in after round
2981s	number one but before we get there we're
2983s	going to head to a quick break get some
2985s	water and we'll see you back for more
2987s	clal Heroes
2992s	[Music]

3123s	[Music]
3144s	there
3147s	Timeless Celestial firmly in the
3149s	driver's seat right now against
3150s	Vancouver Titans blue and I mean they're
3153s	showing just how big that chip on their
3155s	shoulder is again they didn't even make
3157s	playoffs for major 3 and we may have
3160s	forgotten a little bit about them but
3162s	they are making sure we never forget
3164s	their names again absolutely not timeall
3168s	Celestial have been on another level
3171s	when it comes to this game we get to
3173s	look back on Kings Row and see exact L
3176s	how that happened two main components
3178s	going into this here it was aour and I
3181s	want to take some time to highlight the
3183s	merer on the bti time and time again
3187s	they appear or really they don't appear
3189s	they're a silent hero that just doesn't
3191s	die we don't see them in the kill feed
3193s	neither positively or negatively and
3195s	that's honestly a great thing for the
3196s	Baptist time of celestial have so much
3199s	more sustain in this fight because CLA
3201s	has been the main target for them
3203s	anytime a rush goes on through get the
3206s	remains uncap and like I like I was
3208s	saying like you have Street Lord who's
3210s	constantly popping the Nemesis form and
3212s	knowing when it's an appropriate time to
3214s	go in and try and punish CLA and you can
3216s	see so many times she's under pressure
3218s	from directly from the enemy ratra and
3220s	it's like what do you do when there's a
3222s	ratra in your face you don't have any CC
3224s	that you can deal with it Street Lord is
3226s	having all those opportunities do a no
3227s	small part to the maer's ability to stay
3230s	alive and in turn to keep them
3233s	alive now it's becoming a consistent
3236s	matter of resources you can see those
3239s	come on in while the deaths on the board
3241s	might look the same the impact that it
3244s	had was nowhere near as close I mean we
3247s	got to look at that tank one more time
3250s	the value that cat is getting versus
3252s	Street Lord and it's not a matter of
3253s	damage in fact cat had more damage
3256s	compared to that of their opposing tank
3258s	but Street Lord's positioning their
3260s	initiative that was being taken was just
3262s	over the moon you can do all the damage
3265s	that you want but if bodies ain't
3267s	hitting the floor all you're doing is
3268s	charging up the enemy support SS and
3270s	yeah mer was definitely getting a fair
3272s	bit of those as was CLA but you know
3275s	again Timeless Celestial were getting a
3277s	lot more value a lot more bodies we're
3279s	hitting the floor at their will and if
3282s	that Trend continues we're going to be
3284s	seeing five bodies for Vancouver Titans
3287s	not hitting the floor but dropping down
3289s	to that lower bracket where they
3291s	definitely don't want to be this early
3293s	four teams got to go down there you
3294s	don't want to be one of them and this is
3296s	one of the most hotly contested matchups
3298s	in our first round you got to set the
3300s	pace here you got to dig your heels and
3302s	start that reverse sweep and Sasa is
3304s	going to be where they choose to make
3306s	that
3307s	stand surasa one of the maps that we may
3310s	see a change within the lineup a lot of
3314s	teams have veered towards a junker Queen
3317s	when it comes to flash points to have
3318s	that extra burst of speed with that
3320s	commanding Shout with how this has been
3322s	going so far does ESS Celestial really
3325s	even need to pull the trigger to make
3327s	that swap if honestly it's on Vancouver
3330s	Titans blue to decide how they want to
3333s	take Sasa going down to the losers
3335s	bracket would be absolutely devastating
3338s	for them avoiding it at all costs I
3340s	think Sasa is the way to take it surasa
3344s	is H is not one of the nights of the
3345s	round table I'm too familiar with but it
3347s	is a map that I know both of these teams
3348s	are very familiar with especially
3350s	Vancouver Titans blue and when we move
3351s	over to push and flasho it's where we
3354s	kind of have the opportunity to see some
3356s	of those junker Queen Centric
3357s	compositions start to come into play and
3360s	where things kind of shift a little bit
3362s	away from the brawl sometimes but not
3365s	always because we do also have the
3367s	rather sticky matter of over the past
3369s	week or so orisa coming into favor a
3371s	little bit more who has a lot of that
3373s	same assassination potential as a junker
3375s	Queen but with the ability to utilize
3378s	the the javelin spins the spear throws
3380s	to try and Bully the enemy tanks back to
3383s	try and sustain a little bit more than
3384s	perhaps a jker Queen would be able to
3386s	with the aid of her fortify so it's
3389s	something that I think we are slowly
3390s	trending towards I don't know if either
3392s	of these teams are you know firmly on
3394s	board that particular ship just yet
3396s	we'll have to find out once the doors
3398s	open and you know VT blue hopefully
3400s	still singing that TP song as loud as
3402s	they possibly can because it's you you
3406s	know no like you need to get the you
3408s	need to win here you need to start that
3409s	reverse sweep right here so we'll see
3411s	what they come out here with what flavor
3413s	of tank matchup are we getting
3416s	The Vibes must be high for Vancouver
3418s	Titans blue going down 20 as start is
3422s	never a feel good and having to get a
3424s	reverse sweep against a Timeless
3426s	Celestial who has yet to falter quite a
3429s	daunting task to look at and what better
3432s	thing to do if you're not winning with
3434s	what you currently have changed the game
3437s	cat currently teasing that junker yeah
3440s	Timeless Celestial though they're not
3442s	taking the bait but they're also not
3443s	riding the new wave of the AR like I
3445s	mentioned it looks like again they
3447s	there's still chance them to change it
3448s	think it but I think uh I think they
3451s	don't want to think it through all that
3452s	much I think they're going to go with
3453s	what they currently have that's going to
3454s	stick with the ratra composition so
3457s	we're going to have ratra versus junker
3460s	Queen now this is what going to be
3461s	interesting so you're not going to have
3464s	the Lucio splitting off with the soier
3466s	as much as you're going to have the
3467s	Lucio splitting off with McMan on the
3469s	Genji there and that's how this Jer
3471s	Queen comp controls space flip side of
3473s	that though is that snaz has the ability
3475s	to both wall off the enemy junker Queen
3477s	and put the enemy Genji in check so you
3479s	have to try and find a way to negate
3481s	that play into angles that aren't going
3483s	to be advantageous for Maze walls and go
3485s	for some of those assassination attempts
3487s	with the junker Queen May ever the more
3490s	deadly this composition BT blue I mean
3494s	they're playing safer than they are
3495s	before this time it is warranted they
3498s	got this first cap without really much
3500s	to show for it though bit of a rough
3502s	start cat needs to get in there start
3505s	get that play dirty you're not going to
3506s	have to stall just to do it it's that
3508s	flank we were talking about the Genji
3510s	separating with the Lucio not having
3511s	that Lucio anymore McMan falling shortly
3514s	after 3v2 the 3v5 and then the two going
3518s	in the backline hasn't quite been off to
3520s	the start btv1 they get the kill on the
3522s	street Lord there but they've already
3524s	given up the cap and nearly half of the
3525s	point if they lose cat here they might
3527s	not get a chance to flip it the entire
3529s	Squad is back and squared up and Street
3531s	Lord still not back so this an
3532s	opportunity for VT blue but they have to
3534s	seize it there there's a Gracie and snaz
3536s	that's how you open it up heing the day
3539s	but the mher stands in their way Aur and
3542s	Moler the duo to do it every time that
3546s	ESS Celestial need to pull something out
3548s	of their back pocket they are a reliable
3551s	Duo that they can always land back on
3554s	and it's going to get them up to likely
3556s	100% VT blue there's a couple players
3559s	that are dancing around but none of them
3560s	seem to be wanting to contest this point
3563s	no there there there should not be a
3564s	touch here at all it is going to go
3566s	straight towards Timeless Celestial so
3567s	VT blue going to have to save cla's ksun
3570s	rush for an advantageous fight on the
3571s	next point which it does look like BT
3573s	blue might be the first to get their me
3575s	hooks into if they're able to they're
3577s	also going to have a lot of s that they
3578s	can go ahead and couple that with but
3580s	time of celestial building up to some
3581s	big ones here but as we move away from
3583s	the first point here we're going to get
3585s	into areas where mikin can try and take
3587s	more advantageous angles this is another
3590s	point that I think is going to favor the
3591s	May here but if B can take it then they
3593s	are playing with house money the rest of
3595s	this map certainly have speed on their
3598s	side early KSU Raja bye-bye sosler the
3600s	May was the one that time Celestial
3602s	needed to stay alive and slar going down
3605s	a lot of those hopes have diminished BT
3608s	blue there an heftier investment both of
3610s	ksum Rush and Dragon Blade to close out
3612s	but it's just what can get done and what
3614s	do has to get a pick on this overclock
3616s	give me some reason to believe it's okay
3618s	couple staggers here and there all right
3620s	you go ahead and take them uh yeah but
3623s	they lose Nostalgia and that's really
3625s	bad cuz the Sal was coming up on that
3627s	sound barrier and you definitely would
3629s	like to have that now that you're down
3630s	with down what you only have the Rampage
3633s	for cat do you even invest it it looks
3634s	like they are going to but can they
3636s	clean up this kill it's only on to
3639s	Street Lord and with nostalgic going
3641s	down once again VT blue are better off
3644s	just giving up this objective and coming
3645s	back with another chance only the sound
3648s	barrier is what they're going to have
3649s	heading into time of celestial long
3651s	building and again you needed that sound
3653s	barrier like literally yesterday that
3655s	should have been pop the second that
3656s	what fell so you had at least some
3658s	staying power in this fight so that
3659s	everybody could have gone in and maybe
3661s	capitalized and maybe you wouldn't have
3662s	even been forced to use that Rampage
3664s	from cat but you reused it you didn't
3666s	get anything for it and now despite
3668s	having 50% on the board you're still not
3671s	in control of the point ESS Celestial is
3673s	going to match that easily they have
3675s	ults of their own CLA nearly Falls just
3677s	trying to get in and streight Lord going
3679s	to go in for another assassination with
3681s	the with the Nemesis form is able to
3683s	find one is forced to back up but time
3685s	Celestial have all the space they need
3687s	look at the difference in where Timeless
3689s	Celestial are playing and holding versus
3691s	where VT blue are they're holding up all
3693s	the way at these choke points where BT
3695s	blue was playing back on the objective I
3697s	mean it's just more time that they're
3699s	able to grab CB and a big difference in
3701s	these play Styles as one time on
3702s	Celestial
3703s	Maps where does VT blue come in here
3706s	though they have a little bit of time
3708s	but they have to try and get a touch
3709s	here yeah it's probably going to have to
3711s	be Nostalgia going for a touch again AZ
3712s	going to go and pop the overlock just to
3714s	try and H them off with the
3716s	can't get oh stuck up on a wall and made
3719s	a Splat in the M of s aasa courtesy of
3723s	azuay is going to have a reverse sweep
3725s	on top of a reverse sweep CB for VT blue
3729s	to keep themselves in the upper bracket
3731s	well the good news though is because
3732s	Nostalgia wasn't able to get the touch
3734s	you didn't put yourself in a situation
3736s	where you're forced to really invest
3737s	anything so you're coming up to a pretty
3739s	hefty old Bank of your own the bad news
3741s	is that time Celestial still have
3742s	blizzard potentially the highest impact
3745s	in the current meta time of celestial
3747s	now have two points like you said you
3749s	got to get that reverse sweep on top of
3750s	the reverse sweep you're going to have
3752s	to try and play with the skun rush to
3754s	build up to the overclock build up to
3756s	the Dragon Blade and secure the point
3758s	and not let it go ever
3760s	again I'm a Celestial though they the
3762s	ones to act first wizzard from snaz
3765s	Nostalgia sound Barry just a little bit
3767s	too late it keeps most players on their
3769s	feet and blue they're not in control
3772s	Street Lords can just walk on you
3774s	courtesy of lovely Annihilation
3777s	controlling the streets Time and Time
3779s	game name very fitting and you trade
3781s	your two alts there you trade that
3782s	blizard and that Annihilation for both
3784s	your support ultimates so now you have
3785s	the sound barrier now you have the ant
3787s	ma now you can control space and make
3789s	the fight take longer get yourself into
3790s	that one fight territory and potentially
3792s	secure it VT blue again still have the
3794s	katsune rush they now have an overclock
3797s	and a dragon blade how does McMan use
3799s	this Dragon Blade though knowing that
3801s	there is a sound barrier on the other
3803s	side I think they're hoping to force it
3805s	out with the King R but without CL I
3807s	mean you don't want to even pop that
3808s	dragon blade in the first place ideally
3810s	what getting a pick maybe that helps you
3813s	just don't have sustain having Nostalgia
3815s	as the only support with this Lucio you
3817s	need to play it slow and safe start
3819s	contesting this objective and hope you
3821s	can get your support line back intact
3823s	because it will be final fight here and
3825s	now and the blade might not even come
3827s	out BT blue there in dangerous territory
3829s	find Celestial on the brink of pushing
3831s	back in clear holding that momentum just
3834s	slight
3835s	cat now with that Rampage in hand will
3838s	she need to pull it out she won't have
3840s	to likely unless the d off the map we
3843s	not even going to see a street Lord
3844s	coming back on the her nobody expects
3847s	the stound barrier in place what can
3848s	only do so much with the health bars the
3851s	enemy are quadruple your own V blue have
3854s	fought so hard to get up to this point
3856s	yet they're unable to convert in the
3858s	final hour falling apart in the moments
3862s	on Sur of Vasa they one more chance the
3865s	Rampage getting them back to the point
3866s	even uses a Mobility cool down for the
3869s	touch that is short to come to an end
3872s	Timeless Celestial Timeless as ever
3875s	they've made that comeback after not
3877s	making the after not making those
3879s	playoffs and will continue on in the
3880s	upper bracket that last fight was almost
3883s	everything that Vancouver Titans blue
3885s	needed you had Timeless celesio playing
3887s	for that off angle and it opened the
3888s	door for BT to sneak in and flip the
3890s	point in their favor but while they had
3892s	it in the palm of their hands they did
3894s	not not capitalize in fact they couldn't
3896s	capitalize because they still didn't
3898s	have CLA who died just trying to get in
3901s	the resources weren't there and when
3903s	they finally were when it was all on the
3905s	table for VT blue Tyler Celestial
3908s	flipped the table and walked away with a
3910s	three dub there looking dominant despite
3913s	King's Row being pretty competitive
3915s	surasa looked to be anything
3919s	but can we get a time check on that map
3921s	like was that even 10 minutes to be told
3924s	I don't even think it was like that was
3926s	so fast the junker Queen you wanted to
3929s	switch some stuff up going back to Jes
3931s	you understand it Vancouver Titans blue
3932s	they had the right idea you're not
3934s	winning the tempo game with the ratra
3936s	comp change it up cool that wasn't the
3938s	answer they fell apart even further once
3941s	it came about and McMan couldn't stay
3943s	alive long enough Nostalgia wasn't able
3946s	to get these sound barrier timings in
3947s	cat can't you can't face into a junker
3949s	or into a ratra that has the backing of
3952s	a May and at the end of the day van
3954s	Titans blue fall under the might of
3957s	Timeless Celestial and you can call it
3959s	nerves because of the slow start it's
3961s	definitely not what you want to see if
3962s	your Vancouver Titans blue I mean this a
3965s	team that has busted their ass since the
3967s	very beginning of calling all heroes to
3968s	get here they have constantly been
3970s	grinding and growing together as a
3972s	collective getting better and better
3974s	stronger and stronger every day they are
3976s	no strangers to adversity but they got
3979s	dealt a healthy dose of it today and
3981s	it's not it's not over there's going to
3983s	be a chaser too now they are going to
3985s	have to fight through the lower bracket
3987s	if they want to make a Deep Run if they
3988s	still want a chance to cement their
3991s	legacy at the top of calling all heroes
3994s	while Timeless Celestial some of their
3995s	players have done so before as members
3997s	of Timeless ethereal they look to do so
3999s	under a slightly different name and this
4002s	is a hell of a way to
4004s	start Vancouver Titans blue right now is
4007s	going to have to have one heck of a run
4010s	through the losers bracket there's a lot
4012s	for them to learn coming away from from
4014s	this first initial series and we need to
4017s	see more control we need to see more
4018s	confidence coming out of them where is
4021s	the team that is well practice where is
4022s	the team that has this extensive trust
4025s	in each other to convert we didn't see
4027s	them pumped to play yet today CL
4030s	Celestial was there they showed up
4032s	proved the doubters wrong and are
4034s	continuing to push that on forwards
4037s	through this upper bracket hanging on to
4039s	that extra fight it's it's definitely
4041s	something that you love to see if you're
4043s	a Timeless fan because you you know
4044s	you're always going to be looking at
4046s	Timeless ethereal again like we keep
4047s	alluding back to but having two dominant
4050s	Timeless teams is everything that this
4052s	North American Dynasty can possibly want
4055s	everywhere you look it's been Timeless
4057s	in North America be it flash Ops be it
4059s	calling all heroes be it anything else
4060s	in between whether your cat who's
4062s	looking looking looking at sleeping with
4064s	the fishes there courtesy of that little
4066s	punch there from Street Lord good God
4068s	what a what a like heartbreaking way to
4071s	sometimes you forget that there's even
4072s	like a pit there that you can fall into
4074s	until you're dealt a until you're dealt
4076s	a pretty good reminder there I don't
4079s	think I can count on two hands how many
4081s	times I've personally fallen into that
4083s	pit cat and well you got at least one
4085s	under your belt now and H what a way
4088s	what a way to end up going down it's not
4090s	the last that we'll see a Vancouver
4092s	Titans blue or Timeless Celestial yet
4095s	today but that is the end of our number
4098s	one match gameplay we do have a lot to
4101s	break down over the course of this
4102s	series we're going to come back to you
4104s	with our host and some extra analyst
4106s	surprise guests to go over what just

4298s	welcome back everybody what a first
4301s	matchup coming out here for this 3 and0
4304s	win for Timeless Celestial versus VT
4307s	blue again I'm Ash and I've got tiny
4309s	shiny who is just casting and we have a
4312s	new face joining us on the desk as well
4314s	arietta welcome to the calling all
4316s	heroes broadcast how are you feeling I
4320s	am feeling pretty good thank you so much
4322s	for having me here I feel very honored
4324s	to be here well we're stoked to hear all
4327s	the analysis that you're going to get to
4328s	bring to the table with all of the
4330s	coaching experience that you have and
4332s	just uh all the information that you get
4334s	to like plant into my brain that is
4337s	severely lacking in that OverWatch and
4340s	so but tiny this last matchup was
4343s	difficult I think it was a bit
4345s	heartbreaking to see BT blue end up
4347s	coming out um in that 0 and3 loss
4350s	Timeless Celestial looked very good and
4352s	bblue they did start to have a bit of
4354s	that F comeback a bit of that fight
4356s	coming through there on Kings Row but
4358s	weren't quite able to pull through like
4361s	here's the thing I love VT Blue from
4363s	from the very first time that I was on
4364s	this broadcast and even before that I
4366s	mean this team has been around
4368s	participated in every single event so
4369s	far and to see them faced with such a
4372s	challenge at the start of the
4373s	championships is a blow nonetheless and
4377s	you know you really got to look back to
4379s	this initial map I mean this is where it
4381s	all started who was in control of that
4383s	Tempo it was Street Lord for Timeless
4386s	Celestial cat was barely able to get a
4388s	word in with how solid kqa and the mer
4391s	were just pumping the support into their
4394s	tank no they absolutely were and also
4397s	ARA we talked about it a little bit in
4399s	the green room and you had something to
4401s	say about how Timeless Celestial were
4403s	just able to set themselves up for
4404s	success and how difficult it really was
4406s	for VT blue to deal with that time and
4408s	time again yeah absolutely um Timeless
4412s	celestials uh defensive setups in
4414s	particular were so tight um allowing
4417s	azer to just output a ton of pressure on
4420s	angles um and that just gave them a
4422s	passive advantage to to manage their
4424s	cool Downs a lot better um in each and
4426s	every fight so absolutely their set
4428s	setups were
4429s	fantastic yeah it was absolutely
4431s	stunning to see how they were able to
4434s	just consistently coordinate in that
4436s	kind of regard but this is also
4437s	something that we expect coming out of a
4439s	team from Timeless Celestial their
4441s	results speak for themselves in that
4443s	kind of sense but we also can't forget
4445s	that this is a double elimination
4446s	bracket here tiny so BT blue they are
4449s	going to have to kind of lock in on that
4452s	mental to try and make that lower
4453s	bracket
4455s	run VT blue they're an experienced
4457s	competitive team I don't doubt their
4459s	ability to reset mentally coming into
4463s	another
4464s	match but we need to find some sort of
4466s	proof especially ending on such a sour
4468s	note as Sasa was that team just fell
4472s	aport towards the tail end they know
4474s	what works for them I want to see them
4475s	back on that ratra composition it will
4479s	depend on the opponent that they end up
4480s	facing next which I believe will be
4482s	either wisp Embers or kunoichi which
4485s	certainly can shake up the game it'll
4487s	definitely be really interesting in that
4489s	kind of regard but it a pretty quick
4491s	matchup and I know that a lot of these
4492s	players are rearing to go into their
4495s	next match as well we do have a little
4496s	interview actually coming in for you
4498s	guys get a chance to speak to one of the
4500s	members of Timeless Celestial kqa phon
4504s	it in here how are you feeling after
4506s	that
4507s	win uh can you hear me yeah I can okay
4511s	yeah yeah uh I'm feeling pretty good um
4513s	I was really excited for our match today
4515s	so I'm glad we were able to when
4519s	it yeah you guys looked really
4521s	comfortable today I mean this is
4522s	something that we expect out of your
4525s	team I think just like looking at past
4526s	results and the performance that your
4529s	team is able to Output so consistently
4532s	um I'm curious about how you guys kind
4535s	of like prepared for championships did
4538s	you did your team do anything different
4540s	knowing that it was going into
4541s	Championship weekend as opposed to the
4543s	regular season um I mean well going into
4546s	Champs we started double blocking a lot
4549s	more we did a lot of vods after scrims
4551s	and we were like basically like really
4554s	only talking about the game coming up to
4557s	Champs okay nice and just being able to
4559s	focus on your own game in that kind of
4561s	sense too um on your Lucio pick as well
4564s	you were able to play a lot of
4565s	disruption as far as just trying to even
4568s	cut off what in some situations I'm
4571s	thinking mainly about like King's Row in
4573s	that kind of sense um are those kind of
4575s	like set plays that you guys have as far
4579s	as looking to isolate those particular
4581s	fights or is it more of that kind of e
4582s	and flow as you're in the game itself um
4586s	well we always knew like on our first on
4590s	our first point attack we you know like
4592s	we'd always practiced like clearing
4594s	their soge off The High Ground um but
4596s	throughout the map like after first
4598s	point it's mostly just like uh I guess
4602s	like Split Second just like I uh so or
4606s	may come with me I want to go on these
4607s	guys kind of thing yeah okay nice always
4610s	got those Cs and lock in that kind of
4612s	sense um
4614s	but I'm also curious like this is going
4616s	to be a pretty long weekend three-day
4618s	event right for the championship series
4621s	so is there a specific team that either
4624s	you in specific or your entire team even
4626s	if it's been a point of discussion that
4628s	you're looking to play up against and
4630s	looking forward to a matchup against in
4632s	the
4633s	future um I think at least for me
4636s	personally I definitely want to play
4638s	against uh Wiest bembers uh they're a
4640s	team that I really want to play against
4642s	and is there a reason for
4645s	that
4646s	um no I don't think so I think well I
4650s	guess I guess what I'm I guess what I'm
4652s	thinking about the bracket I feel like
4654s	uh they're going to be one of our closer
4655s	matchups so I'm really excited to play
4657s	against them and hope to play against
4658s	them well fingers crossed for you that
4661s	you definitely get that opportunity um
4664s	but I know it's just like the start of
4666s	this of this weekend and whatnot so I
4668s	don't want you guys to give away too
4669s	many secrets so I'm going to keep the
4671s	interview a little bit shorter in that
4673s	kind of of regard so you guys have more
4675s	to surprise us with later because I'm
4677s	hoping to be able to interview you guys
4679s	again um whether it's you or another
4681s	member but for sure as far as it goes is
4686s	there anyone that you want to shout out
4688s	any thank yous that you want to say on
4690s	stream right now um I would like to give
4694s	a big thank you to my coach goldfish um
4697s	he's he's been a big help with our team
4699s	and with me so I wanted to thank Mr
4702s	goldfish
4705s	big thanks to mixer old fish that's a
4707s	sweet shout out there but kqa it was
4710s	really nice being able to chat with you
4711s	and congratulations again on your first
4713s	win here within the upper bracket
4714s	quarterfinals we do have more OverWatch
4718s	coming in though there's two more series
4720s	to come in after this we're heading down
4721s	to the lower bracket right after a quick

5044s	welcome back everybody to the calling
5045s	all heroes Championship weekend I'm Ash
5049s	again joined here by tiny and CB and
5052s	that was a quick initial best uh or
5055s	three 0 there for Timeless Les deal for
5058s	that best of five to start us off for
5060s	today but we have to take a look to see
5061s	how the rest of the bra has panned out
5064s	here and are any of these results
5067s	surprising to you CB uh honestly no cuz
5071s	this is pretty much exactly how I
5072s	expected it all to shake out you're
5073s	getting like the higher seeds winning
5075s	pretty much every single matchup here
5077s	the only one that I felt like was hotly
5079s	contested would have been the one we
5081s	just watched Timeless Celestial versus
5082s	Vancouver Titans blue but like Michael
5084s	wave and Timeless ethereal those are two
5086s	of your top three unfortunately for
5088s	those two they're on the same side of
5089s	the bracket so yikes they're going to
5091s	collide a lot quicker than I think think
5093s	they want to you got uh you know wisp
5095s	Embers another one of that top three you
5097s	know the upper echelon someone who's
5099s	always been there who has the
5101s	opportunity to just kind of skate by not
5103s	having to deal with another member of
5105s	the top three but they're going to have
5106s	to go through Timeless Celestial and
5108s	that's kind of where we are with the
5109s	upper bracket everything is kind of to
5112s	be as to be
5114s	expected no it definitely is and kind of
5117s	funny that we also get now the
5118s	opportunity I hadn't taken a peek at the
5121s	bracket and how things panning out
5123s	before that interview with kqa but now
5125s	we know that they're able to actually go
5127s	head-to-head with wisp Embers right off
5129s	the gate tomorrow unfortunately we're
5131s	not heading into those upper semi-finals
5133s	quite yet but ask and you shall receive
5136s	exactly right but tiny that also means
5139s	that now we're heading into these
5141s	matches where we're going to start to
5142s	say goodbye and into lower bracket round
5146s	one you've got on the top side that's
5148s	inarizaki X10 Goku versus Fable and then
5151s	below that is going to be VT blue versus
5153s	kenoi what are your expectations here I
5157s	expect these to be infinitely closer
5161s	from what we have seen in the entirety
5163s	of the upper bracket realistically uh
5165s	even looking at that all of them were
5167s	thros across the board in araki X1 Goku
5171s	and Fable heading it off I feel like
5173s	these two teams are on a very even skill
5175s	level especially when you look at a lot
5177s	of the play Styles they adapt and I want
5180s	to take a moment to talk about inner
5181s	oaki here because they're a team that
5184s	came up as of late they're very much a
5186s	newcomer breaking through in the lcq
5189s	with this incredibly fast-paced style
5191s	that pushes teams to their limits and
5194s	has gotten them up to that qualifying
5196s	spot despite not playing in a lot of the
5198s	other events no absolutely and CB you
5200s	got the opportunity to actually with
5202s	tiny see those matches for the lcq here
5205s	so you can give us a little bit more on
5208s	that particular team as we head into
5210s	this best of Five series yeah like like
5212s	I tiny covered most of it to be
5214s	completely honest like this team
5215s	seemingly came out of nowhere they were
5218s	very suddenly a contender they kind of
5220s	sneaked away with a a major three
5222s	playoff spot that nobody really thought
5224s	that they were going to take because you
5225s	know we didn't know who this team was we
5227s	didn't really know what they were about
5228s	they had a couple of veterans that had
5230s	been around for some of the other
5231s	iterations of like mid- tier teams but
5233s	then suddenly they come together with
5235s	this Collective and they come together
5237s	they hit hard they hit fast they take
5239s	that playoff spot and yeah sure they
5241s	have to qualify lcq but it feels like
5244s	almost like a given when you look at
5246s	their performance in major 3 right like
5247s	they are going to be the team to qualify
5250s	you look at their DPS line you look at
5252s	Kuna you look at Persona there's a lot
5254s	of Talent on this roster and there are
5256s	potential Dark Horses to make deep runs
5258s	in this bracket Unfortunately they have
5261s	to do it from the lower half of said
5264s	bracket that's a tough thing is the fact
5266s	that there is now we're in the zone of
5268s	the second chance and you're cut if you
5271s	don't make it here within this best of
5273s	five we're going to go and take an
5275s	introduction over towards these actual
5277s	rosters so I know we were just talking
5280s	about in araki X10 Goku but now it's
5282s	time to say hello to these players if
5284s	you're not so familiar with them
5286s	especially if you missed out on that lcq
5289s	tiny especially when you look at this
5291s	team you need to highlight the DPS Duo
5294s	of all time Persona and kuna exploded
5298s	from the scene Persona doing a lot of
5300s	time with the team Peru World Cup team
5303s	is this upand cominging hit scan
5305s	superstar that just adds this this extra
5308s	punch this extra factor that izaki needs
5310s	to close at fights where kuna is an
5312s	allaround consistent player that is a
5315s	very good supporting role to somebody
5317s	like Persona and even can take that
5319s	Spotlight away when it's needed while
5321s	these two may be the ones under the
5323s	spotlight for the majority of this
5324s	team's performances it is an allaround
5327s	group effort to pull out some of these
5330s	plays that we're seeing from them yeah
5331s	without a doubt I mean it's OverWatch
5334s	right it has to be that team effort you
5336s	have to be cohesive and there's no
5338s	opportunity to really hard carry in
5340s	these kinds of situations but we have to
5342s	see who they're also facing up against
5345s	here looking towards Fable CB this is a
5348s	team that everyone is familiar with
5350s	within calling all heroes they ended out
5353s	the regular season at that fourth place
5355s	finish without within circuit points
5358s	that is and uh I'm looking over at Avery
5361s	here on that I know we're hovering the
5363s	sigma as far as like the the hero that
5367s	we're showing off but they have been
5370s	popping off at least from what I
5372s	remember from major 3 I I mean Avery
5375s	specifically has been popping off but
5377s	overall as a collective the story of
5379s	fable has a you at times been one of
5382s	hardship the Quest for their story book
5384s	ending has often felt have them it left
5387s	them feeling as though they've just come
5388s	up a little bit short and I think no one
5390s	embodies that quite like a they're their
5392s	own biggest critic they always want to
5394s	prove themselves and be better than they
5396s	were before and they are still trying to
5399s	make that to make that happen to make
5401s	that come to fruition they have one last
5405s	chapter in their story left to right and
5407s	the quill is in their hands will they
5409s	get the fairy tale ending they're hoping
5410s	for or will it be a cautionary tale
5413s	that's up to them to decide but we're
5414s	already in the lower bracket so you
5417s	better get writing oh yeah that I mean
5420s	that is for sure right and all things
5422s	can considered too it's when you're
5424s	looking towards this matchup you've got
5425s	your eyes on Fable the fact that okay
5428s	according to history this is the team
5431s	that should be winning but again A Dark
5434s	Horse on the other end of things and
5436s	looking over at Antarctic being this
5438s	first map that we're going to be seeing
5439s	here tiny how are you
5441s	feeling and from consistency's sake you
5445s	need to be taking Fable very seriously
5449s	in this matchup I mean they've been
5451s	around longer they are are the
5452s	established name and on paper they have
5455s	the upper hand what this is going to
5457s	come down to is if inner aaki ex and
5460s	Goku can manage to catch them off guard
5462s	with this incredible fast-paced gameplay
5465s	that's one of the few ways that they're
5467s	going to be able to overcome such a
5469s	strong star studded roster as Fable well
5471s	I'm looking forward to seeing if they're
5473s	able to make the adaptations on the side
5475s	of fable or if inarizaki will continue
5478s	to sweep us off our feet but we've got
5480s	to get cold and chilly so I'm going to
5482s	head off and let you guys take over to
5484s	Antarctic
5487s	Peninsula every time you think winter is
5490s	over or it's getting a little better we
5492s	get thrown right back into Antarctic
5494s	Peninsula but today is Groundhog Day fun
5497s	fact spring should be coming early so
5499s	I'm holding out hope for that one but
5501s	for now we will return to the frigid icy
5505s	glaciers that we see ahead of us CB we
5507s	got a taste of this map earlier in the
5510s	day I don't know about you but I'm
5512s	picturing a very similar style of
5514s	gameplay you mentioned Groundhog Day and
5516s	I sure hope that that's not the case for
5518s	fable constantly reliving the same
5520s	nightmares over and over again I'm
5522s	really hoping that they're able to break
5524s	free from that because again I talk
5526s	about Avery as being potentially not
5528s	even potentially Avery is the most
5531s	underrated tank player in all of calling
5533s	all heroes you see time and time again
5535s	it just feels like they want to win more
5537s	than everybody else in the lobby but in
5539s	terms of putting it together and in
5541s	terms of doing so with the rest of the
5543s	Fable rosters that have come and gone it
5546s	hasn't always worked out but it has done
5549s	enough to get them this far and just
5551s	maybe to get them a little bit farther
5554s	we're going to antartic Peninsula and
5556s	like we said it's probably going to play
5557s	out very similarly to our previous
5559s	matchup except this time we're starting
5562s	off on Su level this is one of those
5564s	Maps where you kind of can do a little
5566s	bit of dive if you're feeling a little
5568s	spicy with it I don't know if either of
5569s	these teams are really going to I know
5571s	in our II had a pretty spicy dive
5573s	composition in the last major but we
5575s	didn't see a whole lot of it in lcq I
5577s	think they're still sticking to the
5579s	brawl style compositions Fable on the
5581s	other hand though I'm curious as to
5582s	whether or not Avery is going to stick
5584s	on that ratra or pull out their Old
5586s	Reliable Sigma that they have become
5588s	known
5590s	for Avery is incredible at that Sigma
5593s	it's not exactly something you typically
5595s	want to play into a ratra this would be
5598s	the only exception yet with what is
5600s	being teased in the spa rooms looks like
5603s	we're going to be going to good
5604s	oldfashioned mirror with the TP of Arya
5609s	to get these fights started out quickly
5612s	be battle for high grounds early on in
5613s	Antarctic fin keep an eye on Arya and
5616s	Persona who again in this composition
5618s	are going to be split off with the
5619s	lucios most likely if these teams are
5621s	playing at the optimal way and looking
5623s	for an angle to try and hit a big rail
5625s	shot on the other side though the ma are
5627s	going to be just as important Minnie and
5630s	kuna looking for a good wall kuna I
5632s	think has already used theirs and didn't
5635s	get a whole lot for it wow and this is
5637s	the this is the battle it's the walls
5639s	right the maze are so much control over
5641s	this series and many giving Fable that
5644s	elimination essentially on a silver
5646s	platter wonderful start yeah that's
5649s	going to be uh that's going to be Fable
5650s	just able to get that first cap there
5652s	pretty much all for nothing almost
5653s	losing fiery there that would have been
5654s	uh would have been pretty disastrous but
5656s	no still able to hold strong and this is
5659s	looking pretty good for fable to kick
5660s	things off with and it just kind of goes
5662s	down to kuna getting punished for using
5664s	that wall a little bit too early not
5666s	really sectioning anybody off but just
5668s	sectioning off Able's Retreat and
5669s	they're like okay we don't need to
5670s	retreat we're just going to bring the
5672s	fight right to
5673s	you oh not at all Fable are giving inaki
5676s	a taste of their own medicine
5678s	Chuck-E-Cheese usually see a lot more of
5680s	it on the junker Queen ra Macha we
5683s	haven't even gotten the opportunity to
5685s	get a taste what they bring to the table
5688s	for this fight they'll be approaching
5689s	The High Ground knowing Arya is a threat
5692s	she'll able to drop down safe and sound
5694s	plenty of healing coming her way for the
5696s	soj may already out from mini freeze
5700s	beam dead onto chuckecheese has plenty
5703s	of support Lov ant Matrix on either side
5705s	Panther will have one of their own up
5707s	momentarily in com up with a overclock
5710s	that orya has been holding on to would
5712s	be wonderful but we don't even need to
5713s	see it it's just a single punch to send
5716s	inar Zaki xtone Goku back to spawn so
5719s	kuna goes for the same wall as they did
5721s	last time again but this time they're
5722s	able to get The High Ground for it the
5724s	only problem is that when love Pops the
5726s	ant Matrix they're controlling the side
5727s	of the point that they already kind of
5730s	have control over so fa are able to just
5732s	kind of kite it back wait and pop
5734s	Panther's window and clap back with that
5736s	essentially win the point with no
5738s	ultimates used except for the easiest
5739s	one in the game to get now they've got
5741s	the four other ones that they need to
5742s	close this one out but they've lost mini
5744s	who was holding on to that blizzard it's
5746s	not over just yet Babble have all the
5749s	stocks to pull on out we already got two
5752s	being pressed through and oraki X andu
5754s	realize they need the answer but it
5755s	doesn't reach Chucky Chee ma s barrier
5758s	oh that is devastating for them to go
5760s	through kuna is still committing this
5762s	one out if the trade can come through
5764s	Fable are going to have to pull out a
5766s	retreat inaki X Goku have plenty left to
5769s	St here on suble the question is how
5772s	many resources does it take nearly all
5774s	of them but Fable because mini fell
5777s	early still has that blizzard that Fable
5780s	can come back with and leverage to
5781s	either try and get control of this High
5783s	ground or try and force presence onto
5785s	the point and then you have
5786s	Chuck-E-Cheese with the annihilation
5788s	what a lot of teams are doing is
5789s	actually using the blizzard to counter
5791s	the annihilation if you're not able to
5793s	move around cuz you're Frozen that
5794s	Annihilation is going to expire very
5796s	very quickly we're going to have to see
5798s	how Fable have scouted out the ult
5800s	economy and what play they want to go
5801s	for or if they just want to straight up
5803s	kill
5804s	kuna that works too hit your shots who
5806s	needs ultimate if Arya is just going to
5808s	tear through in aaki oh what a way to go
5812s	on down Chuck-E-Cheese has this
5813s	Annihilation but no opportunity to use
5815s	it the support completely absent from
5818s	the tank the last one standing on the
5820s	objective or rather fallen on the
5822s	objective Fable overtime taking on down
5825s	contest is going to be present for some
5827s	time maybe you can get an at Matrix up
5829s	from L if it goes long enough that's
5832s	asking for quite a bit especially with
5835s	the player Advantage Fable have on sub
5838s	level they're ready to push it up to map
5840s	Point first Point fa are looking pretty
5843s	good we still got a ways to go but I'm
5845s	liking what I'm seeing out of them out
5846s	the gates though but let's have a look
5848s	at anaraki X10 Goku kuna is a player
5851s	that we highlighted someone who is very
5853s	flexible I've seen them play everything
5855s	from Tracer to Genji to Widowmaker and
5857s	pound on absolutely all of them but may
5860s	is just a different breed it's a
5862s	different set of skills from a lot of
5863s	your other Flex DPS Heroes and kuna's
5865s	may hasn't looked the best we had one
5868s	really bad wall one kind of okay wall
5871s	and a couple instances of getting picked
5873s	first and you can't be having that when
5874s	you are I cannot stress this enough the
5877s	most important piece in this ratra
5881s	composition you need to be staying alive
5883s	if your support goes down well
5886s	rip the rest of your team there's no
5888s	setup to come on through need to change
5890s	that Tempo now Persona and kuna have not
5893s	managed to make a mark Arya and Mini
5895s	have been dominating their respective
5897s	DPS matches and getting to this
5900s	objective first with the tele qu going
5902s	to force inaki x and Goku to get a
5904s	little bit creative with the approach
5906s	they decide to take rushing up the
5908s	stairs me are going to get walled off by
5909s	mini you go backwards well Avery has
5912s	turned you into a punching bag raki
5915s	still playing out on the sides of the
5917s	map once these cool Downs fall that will
5919s	happen but with rail gun that had a cool
5921s	down you hit those shots any day of the
5923s	week Persona got one on the board being
5926s	that may especially he mentioned how
5928s	important that hero can be the
5930s	composition andiz are taking that to
5932s	another level my go every time we see
5935s	this m oh yeah no Persona is definitely
5937s	not done going to get some cleanup kills
5939s	there so long Avery see you later every
5942s	time we see this map play out it always
5944s	goes for that High Ground versus High
5945s	Ground push to try and get you know that
5947s	just jockey for that position on The
5949s	High Ground but it's often times the
5950s	first team that makes that rotation to
5952s	get the soj set up right where you see
5954s	where Persona is right now never mind
5956s	going to go ahead and slide back with
5958s	the rest of the team okay make me look
5959s	like a fool but the first team that gets
5961s	set into the point will often have that
5963s	Advantage cuz they can get the shots on
5965s	the other team as they're playing into
5967s	your hands and now an our Zak x 10 Goku
5969s	already at about 40% and climbing and
5972s	they're going to have s the slow fables
5974s	roll
5975s	here they need to use them well though
5979s	that timing up L ant Matrix online R the
5983s	speed position that's a nice May wall
5985s	the force tank back down to the low
5988s	ground araki they're backing off
5989s	regrouping loved all the support in the
5991s	world has done a great job despite the
5993s	rest of the team falling mean Arya put
5995s	out these huge bursts of damage you
5997s	cannot expect your back teeth to heal
6000s	and with putting those resources those
6002s	limits to the test Fable ready to Surge
6005s	back into the point maab didn't want to
6007s	give it up though committing the sound
6008s	barrier towards the back and I mean at
6011s	the end of the day that's just an
6012s	ultimate down the drain a little bit
6014s	more percentage at that boss raki X10
6017s	Goku stayed a lot longer than they
6019s	should I I think using the sound barrier
6020s	there is kind of though cuz you do get
6022s	yourself up towards that one fight
6023s	territory and you're going to have more
6025s	s to try and win that out that said
6027s	though you definitely would like to have
6029s	the Sal barrier to counter out either
6030s	min's Blizzard or arya's overclock Arya
6033s	versus Persona is the the battle I'm
6035s	going to be looking at here because
6036s	you're going to have Arya already kind
6038s	of set up again on that split with fiery
6041s	looking for an angle looking for
6043s	somewhere where she can pop it safely
6044s	and maybe make a couple heads roll and
6046s	araki have to try and pressure her
6049s	out Arya isn't going to let that happen
6051s	she's just going through a no new angle
6053s	to all together the blizzard forc out as
6055s	well Fable dumping ultimate into this
6058s	fight inak are somehow managing to stay
6061s	on their feet with Lov and Ma pulling
6063s	out absolute heroics but m l is in huge
6066s	heap of trouble AR go down but no she's
6068s	off the map oh the slippery slops caught
6071s	her off guard and Persona is in to clean
6074s	up the rest and the slippery slope
6076s	fallacy ain't such a fallacy anymore is
6078s	it AR slides right off the map there and
6080s	yeah and X10 Goku with just that one
6083s	little misstep and a little bit of
6084s	cleanup that comes out courtesy the
6086s	annihilation from Chucky Cheese able to
6088s	take the point back and again one fight
6090s	territory Fable only have one more shot
6092s	at this and they bet the whole house on
6095s	that last fight and now they're looking
6097s	a little uh a little sore for shelter
6100s	here that's a nice way of putting it
6102s	right uh you know you're not looking
6105s	you're really really not and oraki X10
6108s	Goku this is their fight to supposedly
6110s	win but cight CL it's ultim needs to
6112s	stay alive and mor tality field
6113s	guaranteeing it goes down and we won't
6115s	see anything from the for the remainder
6117s	of the battle kazaki though they need to
6120s	manage to clear Fable one way or another
6123s	and Persona is just the person to put on
6126s	the job of the soldier gam playay
6129s	stepping it up here on round number two
6131s	Labs going over to inaki and we have got
6134s	ourselves a full map of Antarctic
6136s	Peninsula I think Labs you get a little
6138s	bit more angles for the soj to play than
6141s	did on suble level and you can kind of
6142s	see Persona coming up ahead in some of
6144s	these games in in some of these
6146s	exchanges and despite Arya having a
6148s	great performance on the soan again I
6150s	think it does kind of come back to that
6152s	one fight there where someone leaves a
6154s	banana peel towards the edge of the map
6156s	and she just kind of slips off and yeah
6158s	suddenly uh Suddenly It's not really
6160s	working out for fable anymore and that's
6162s	the momentum of fable gone they look so
6165s	good on suble Lev but now as we go on to
6167s	Icebreaker the ball feels like it's a
6169s	little bit more in an araki's Court
6171s	what do they do with it though we'll
6173s	have to see it doesn't look like they're
6175s	going to go for the CRA teleport play
6177s	Like Fable is going to so Persona is
6179s	going to get set up a little bit early
6180s	at the cost of the rest of the team
6183s	being a little bit late to the party as
6185s	Fable are already going to have control
6187s	over The High Ground that overlooks the
6188s	point and I don't even think Persona is
6190s	going for an off angle though so that
6191s	might actually just be a mistake to not
6193s	go for the TP they are going to take
6194s	early positioning on the point though
6196s	looking to try and play the same style
6197s	that we saw on Labs where being the
6199s	first person to put your feet on on the
6201s	point set you in an advantageous
6203s	position we'll see if Fable is able to
6205s	make this uh see if they're able to
6208s	crack the defense a little bit quicker
6209s	this time around yeah they do make it
6211s	over the ice ball at least Avery does
6214s	once that falls the rest of the team
6215s	will soon reveal themselves both of
6218s	these Nemesis fors out on the field me
6222s	utter scraps can be on fora or kuna as a
6224s	matter of fact to make that first mark
6227s	on through inaki X and Goku heavily
6230s	relying on their def DPS Duo get the P
6232s	the neutral I think I don't want to call
6234s	you out but I think you just said
6235s	persona at one point in time did the DPS
6238s	the duo name it's their Duo name yeah
6240s	yeah they did the DBZ Fusion Dance
6242s	Persona and kuna they're one m and ex
6245s	let's talk about kuna specifically real
6246s	quick let's SP them back up and look at
6248s	kuna's old charge compared to Min right
6250s	now nearly doubled and I think in large
6252s	part because of that early pick off
6253s	there onto Avery who by the way is now
6255s	lagging behind chuckecheese in terms of
6257s	ult charge one fight and araki are
6260s	they're already firmly in the driver
6262s	seat right now there's no way are going
6264s	to expect the blizzard coming but they
6265s	might not need
6266s	to absolutely not that was Arya and mini
6270s	pulling it out oh but ARA stays a little
6272s	bit too long look how close she was to
6274s	building up that overclock and now inaki
6277s	can essentially come out the blizzard
6278s	was invested and that's just it what a
6281s	change of tempos and suev what is with
6284s	this an Matrix here Panther what do we
6286s	do that's a little I don't know that one
6289s	I think by the time that popped it was
6290s	just pan and fiery and I don't think
6292s	that's a really good investment I mean
6294s	you know ant Matrix is kind of a
6296s	throwaway ultimate sure but that doesn't
6297s	mean you literally throw it away I think
6299s	you hold on to that especially looking
6300s	at loved who's going to have one of her
6302s	own on the other side as well as again
6304s	the aforementioned Annihilation and the
6305s	sound barrier your only Advantage if
6308s	you're Fable is the fact that you're
6309s	coming up on your blizzard and Arya is
6311s	ahead in charge of the overclock it's
6313s	going to have to be these DPS SS that
6314s	make the difference for fable otherwise
6317s	we're in one fight territory already and
6318s	our Zak ex and Goku might just take this
6320s	for
6321s	map and Mini have done it before the
6325s	support ultimates in the back Lan though
6326s	I mean inaki have bases covered should
6329s	they have the proper reaction time to do
6332s	it the window is going to force this to
6334s	a one fight territory and help for
6337s	danger close to an overclock of their
6339s	own Fable they need to be scared there
6341s	isn't time to be scared you need to walk
6343s	in and pull out the stop M it goes down
6345s	the blizzard still making an appearance
6348s	and it catches Chuck-E-Cheese without
6350s	that ultimate fable flip the point back
6352s	on over and force inaki x and Goku off
6355s	of the objective at a very expensive
6358s	cost and one that Persona thinks that
6360s	isn't enough even putting their own
6362s	overclock into play you don't play in
6363s	front of that ARA no you need to respect
6366s	persona's aim hitting those shots is
6368s	solely going to flip the objective back
6370s	on over overtime Wick is burning down
6373s	Fable are struggling to make these
6374s	touches come through it's mini on the
6377s	Tracer well was on the Tracer at the
6379s	very least fur's getting nowhere near
6381s	the point in araki X10 Goku this is the
6384s	surprise Factor this is the momentum and
6386s	star power that has gotten them to these
6388s	championships and I think no one is more
6391s	surprised about that than Minnie who
6392s	went through to try and pop the blizzard
6394s	but didn't live to get any followup on
6397s	it and because that pick came through so
6399s	quickly the rest of fable felt like they
6401s	had to try and invest to make up the
6402s	difference so Arya pops the overclock
6405s	you've got fiery popping that sound
6406s	barrier suddenly everybody's used all of
6409s	their ultimates and all araki ex and
6411s	Goku have to do is kite it play back
6414s	come back in with Persona overclock and
6416s	it's just academic at that point because
6417s	there's nothing Fable can do they have
6419s	to play on the point where in OT they
6421s	have to try and keep it in contest can
6423s	they even do so well not if Persona has
6425s	anything to say about it and Persona
6427s	definitely had some
6429s	words words maybe a whole paragraph a
6432s	whole story I no Persona clearly is not
6435s	done yet even it took a little bit for
6437s	them to get warmed up to show us what
6440s	they can do on that soier we hyped them
6442s	up for before this match for a very good
6445s	reason Fable they started off on this
6447s	map strong Arya had this better
6448s	positioning Persona couldn't get angles
6450s	that was a large Factor by inaki
6453s	struggled to break through these initial
6456s	choke points that we see now once we
6458s	start to look ahead towards these next
6460s	map Persona had a time to shine I mean
6463s	just looking at this clip here shot
6465s	after shot poured in and Fable really
6468s	couldn't get much of a recovery I'm glad
6470s	we could see this again cuz this just
6471s	makes me smile Arya I'm sorry we are
6473s	laughing and enjoying your pain but it's
6475s	all it's all with you we're laughing
6477s	with you not at you thank you for that
6478s	signing star moment Fable they struggled
6481s	to get a comeback literally after that
6483s	moment whether it was the Tipping Point
6484s	or not inaki X10 Goku pulled themselves
6487s	together Persona in particular and just
6490s	ran away with labs and I think the story
6492s	line going forward here might end up
6494s	being Persona versus Arya because both
6496s	of them did Shine at various moments but
6499s	it is especially the tail end their
6502s	Persona that starts to Edge out just a
6504s	little bit more getting more of those
6505s	picks and you can see 28 and3 versus 16-
6508s	7 despite arya's heavy damage you know
6512s	it's kind of indicative just of you know
6513s	in araki winning more fights winning the
6515s	map that those stats are going to be a
6517s	little bit higher but it's still is
6519s	going to show just how much of an impact
6520s	Persona is having in this head-to head
6524s	that's scary to look at Persona I didn't
6528s	think the difference was that big these
6529s	numbers are saying otherwise and
6533s	everything else is relatively even
6535s	across the board there's not these
6536s	incredible levels of variance going
6539s	through it's literally that Arya versus
6541s	Persona matchup they both have the
6543s	capability to play at some of the
6545s	highest levels just Persona being more
6548s	consistent across that map and is going
6551s	to have to be on the minds of fable as
6553s	they move on their second choice
6555s	definitely going to be firmly on the
6556s	minds of persona it can't be Persona n
6558s	grata you definitely have to be thinking
6560s	about Persona the whole time and
6561s	especially AR as that head-to-head keeps
6563s	going and that does kind of also come
6566s	down to the rest of the team to set
6568s	these sojourns up for Success get them
6570s	the angles that they need get the lucios
6572s	there with them as we're seeing a lot of
6573s	these teams playing these splits as we
6575s	go into Midtown though we might not see
6578s	as much of the sojourn split as we did
6580s	before definitely we'll still see
6582s	inklings of it on streets phase here
6584s	fables map pick maybe this is an
6586s	opportunity for them to bust out the
6588s	sigma though maybe it's optimistic but
6590s	but maybe it's possible I don't think
6594s	the brawl went all that bad honestly
6598s	there was just some like small intricate
6600s	things like especially with positioning
6602s	where we look where maab and Persona
6605s	were at times on these more off angles
6607s	that weren't really contested or they
6609s	didn't take certain areas of the
6611s	objective and really gave themselves a
6613s	much harder job moving on forwards
6615s	midtown's GNA put that to the test Sigma
6618s	Avery's best hero and probably the best
6620s	Sigma player actually no the best Sigma
6622s	player that we have currently within the
6624s	Championships and is a viable option as
6627s	it extends this poke phase I I think
6630s	it's easy to call uh Avery the best
6631s	Sigma player because there's not really
6633s	a whole lot of Sigma players left like
6635s	we go back to we go back to minor 3 and
6637s	even major 3 to a lesser extent there
6639s	was a lot of good s like Sigma was a
6641s	very stacked role and I think Avery even
6644s	amongst such a stacked role stood out on
6647s	that hero but as we transitioned more
6650s	towards the ratra towards the Arisa the
6652s	junker Queen and all these other tanks
6653s	started coming into the fold and sigma
6655s	started to become more of just a circuit
6657s	Royale exclusive pick we're not really
6660s	seeing as much noise from Avery as I
6663s	think we need to to Really you know
6665s	cement themselves as an elite tank here
6667s	in calling all heroes I still believe
6670s	that they are capable of it and if we
6671s	see the sigma come out here or if we
6673s	don't see the sigma come out here you
6674s	know we almost definitely will if we uh
6677s	manage to bring ourselves all the way to
6678s	escort you expect to see the the circuit
6680s	Royale pick come out here but you know
6683s	on on Midtown I think it's an option I
6686s	still don't know if it is the best
6687s	option cuz I think most teams just want
6689s	to go for the staying power of the ratra
6692s	the ability to mitigate all the damage
6693s	and survive being walled off by an enemy
6695s	M the assassination power that you get
6698s	from popping that Nemesis form and just
6700s	walking on an enemy Baptist I think
6702s	that's just kind of the way the game is
6704s	currently played at the tank level and
6706s	you know we've seen teams teams we'll
6709s	probably see a little bit later
6711s	go off meta and find success and maybe
6713s	that's something that Avery might want
6714s	to consider on maps where it's
6716s	advantageous for them to do so if you
6719s	all checked in on the lcq this wouldn't
6721s	be the first time we would see Sigma on
6724s	the map of Midtown so Fable will be
6727s	starting out on the defense I believe so
6730s	we'll get an idea what direction they'll
6732s	be going there and uh well for actually
6735s	they'll be on the attack so we won't
6736s	know just yet in azaki X10 Goku on the
6739s	other hand they're sticking with same
6740s	thing zero reason to switch and honestly
6744s	keeping Persona and kuna on some of the
6746s	best heroes that we've seen out of them
6748s	and you're not complaining about that
6749s	yeah if it ain't broke don't fix it if
6751s	you're Fable though if it ain't broke
6752s	you got to break it I'm I'm I'm curious
6754s	to see if Arya is going to stay on the
6756s	uh on the Hanzo pick there I know it's
6758s	an attack resp Spa that might not stick
6760s	but that could be something a little bit
6762s	interesting if it stays by the way hey
6764s	shout out to Liz if you're in the chat
6765s	this one's for you arya's got your back
6767s	she'll uh she'll bust this one out here
6769s	for you I me it might actually be a
6771s	little bit better than the sojourn if
6772s	you actually want to go that route we'll
6774s	see if she walks out with it or it's
6775s	just for the Sonic have a little look
6778s	see here making sure there's no spawn
6780s	hold yep and uh and and there's a swap
6782s	sorry
6783s	Liz we did what we
6785s	could this may be sad I'm personally
6788s	happy Hanzo tree chunks down Midtown I'm
6791s	fine with that itaki X and Goku in a
6794s	full mirr match up now this map has a
6796s	lot more room for flanks look at Arya on
6798s	this little bit of an off angle that has
6800s	a full wall kuna had to commit to block
6802s	off the soj Fable now at an advantage if
6805s	mini had managed to prop one up ideally
6808s	behind Chuck-E-Cheese or another squishy
6811s	notice the distance that they're taking
6813s	between each other right now so they
6815s	don't have to necessarily fight at these
6817s	Close Quarters points and especially
6819s	with Avery being in trouble only matter
6821s	of time until somebody Falls and Arya is
6824s	the culprit you didn't keep the Flank In
6826s	checked and they're punished aizaki X10
6828s	Goku crumbling after losing the main
6831s	support and likely the rest of their
6834s	members it's not even entirely about
6836s	putting the Flank In check granted Arya
6838s	definitely needs to be kept in check
6839s	right now but the fact that kuna
6840s	invested the wall to try and cut Arya
6842s	off rather than lock down the choke the
6845s	rest of fable were able to just walk
6846s	right through the door and suddenly
6847s	you're no longer playing for that choke
6849s	you're playing on the point and you're
6851s	practically handing Arya an angle where
6853s	she can get a shot on your backliner and
6855s	it's just a matter of time you know over
6857s	a long enough timetable she will hit
6859s	that shot onto loved and she does and
6861s	with 5 minutes that's a hell of a
6863s	timetable to get yourself through Street
6865s	space that's a scary timeable to look at
6868s	if who are the defense right now those
6871s	ultimates may be building up online
6873s	Panther already has one of their own and
6876s	especially with this High Ground being
6878s	the most valuable real estate there is
6881s	above the Midtown Tunnel and araki ex
6884s	and Goku they're going to hold on to it
6886s	as long as possible Fable are going to
6888s	take their time moving around this
6890s	corner and ideally it's going to be Arya
6892s	or Persona to find that shot both of
6894s	them holding on to a decent amount of
6896s	charge in those rail guns themselves not
6899s	putting these ultimates out has allowed
6901s	inaki X1 Goku to build up to several of
6905s	their Fable they suffering because of
6908s	this late decision they have made mayw
6910s	going on out attempting to block the ant
6912s	Matrix doesn't do a whole lot raki
6915s	holding High ground and continuing to
6918s	take this slow approach and they're
6919s	going to slow face down even further
6920s	blizzard CS love the May though keeps
6923s	them alive you need a lot more than that
6926s	this is all qes being pressed for for
6928s	razaki X10 Goku look they managed to
6931s	find Fable still entirely healthy as of
6934s	now an absolute ult up as a fight has
6936s	found nothing within the kill feed the
6938s	payload has continued to just inch its
6940s	way through the Midtown Tunnel CB and
6943s	mean it's smart play from Fable we're
6944s	not quite done yet though Aver going to
6946s	goe and pop the annihilation you can see
6947s	Chuck E she's mashing that s key as far
6950s	like as hard as they possibly can now
6952s	Arya has The High Ground to go ahead and
6954s	pop the overclock she's looking for an
6956s	angle almost takes down maob going go
6958s	ahead and get Tred out there takes down
6960s	kuna Persona going to fall and Fable
6963s	might just have the cap already think is
6965s	a hold 90 seconds to get three
6968s	eliminations on the entire point of
6970s	Midtown and it's only going to be four
6972s	through the second part I mean this is
6975s	just a speed run that Fable are doing
6977s	while they may be taking it slow they're
6979s	doing because inarizaki become unsure of
6981s	themselves and make mistakes like that
6983s	and it was smart play from Fable 2 as
6984s	well cuz Panther goes ahead and Pops
6986s	that ant Matrix to try and force
6987s	inarizaki to stop poking from The High
6989s	Ground they use that ability to get mini
6991s	up onto The High Ground pop the blizzard
6993s	suddenly fabl take The High Ground all
6994s	the while they're continuing to push the
6996s	cart now they're continuing to push the
6998s	advantage Arya I mean Chucky Cheese is
7000s	now pushing up daisies is what they're
7001s	doing and Fable they're like they're
7004s	just speed like you said they're speed
7006s	running it
7007s	here there's ax go I normally I would
7011s	say you got to slap bandaid on it uh no
7013s	your whole arm has been chopped off you
7015s	got to put a tourniquet on it or
7016s	something cuz this is not Okay Fable are
7019s	moving so fast with this ild have an ant
7022s	Matrix on The High Ground if they lose
7023s	another play I mean kuna and
7024s	chuckecheese barely hanging on to life
7027s	right now and you have the blizzard this
7029s	has to be the answer something has to go
7031s	down for fable they haven't lost a
7032s	player since the very start of this map
7035s	and it will be Avery or their May player
7038s	to fall next this the Stop and araki
7041s	needs to get themselves back on their
7043s	feet and prepare for a long hold 3 and
7046s	1/2 minutes still in the D yeah I mean
7049s	they finally have drawn blood but like
7051s	look how far the cart got before even a
7053s	single body on the side of fable fell
7055s	and even still you only got a couple of
7057s	them you still didn't even get the team
7059s	kill like you you definitely could have
7061s	wanted kind of wanted to get a little
7062s	bit more get yourself back in the game
7064s	here but now that they have the spawn
7066s	advantage and 3 minutes in the time bank
7067s	to kind of bleed out they are are
7070s	looking pretty good but have a look at
7072s	that ult bank from Fable they got
7074s	everything a fairy tale could possibly
7077s	want everything plus some that's an
7080s	Annihilation from Avery marching on
7082s	forward when you're a mantra
7084s	everything's a punching Bagless Persona
7086s	takes out your backline oh the support
7088s	is gone Persona back in hero form a
7091s	third and a fourth fifth not even an
7094s	option and they don't need it yeah it
7097s	turns out you know all the tools you
7099s	could possibly want can't prepare you
7100s	for someone just popping off like
7103s	Persona didn't even need the overclock
7105s	sure a lot of that might have been clean
7107s	up but it's still flashy it's still
7109s	skillful it's still exactly what
7110s	narazaki need in order to keep
7112s	themselves going now Persona going to
7114s	have to leverage that overclock cuz it's
7115s	the only tool and our isaki still have
7118s	Fable only expended the annihilation on
7119s	the previous one so they're going to
7121s	still have the ult advantage and our
7123s	Zaki have to try and do something about
7125s	it persona's up here on The High Ground
7127s	but constantly being checked by Arya
7130s	it's a nice angle in theory if you don't
7133s	have four players shooting at you at the
7134s	same time so Persona will be dropping on
7137s	down to the low ground overclock is out
7139s	cautious for the ant Matrix though that
7140s	would have been de head firey not hit
7142s	the ground and an exact millisecond
7144s	Fable using that ult Advantage moving on
7148s	through unafraid of anything that
7149s	Persona can pull out orya now overclock
7152s	of her own available lizards for first
7155s	thing to come on through that's one
7157s	isolated Frozen robot chese Falls to
7160s	bits and Arya now wants to pick up the
7162s	broom herself looking for it Persona
7165s	shall fall midair what a shot fables old
7168s	Advantage snowballing them way on
7171s	through the end is in sight is a touch
7174s	possible the swaps in our aaki rolling
7176s	on in with that mayw that will be the
7179s	end of it minute 19 to go on through not
7183s	only is inaki going to have to get a
7185s	full cap it has to be one with time on
7187s	the clock and it has to be yeah it's
7190s	going to have to be one with time on the
7191s	clock they did a good job of bleeding
7193s	out a lot of the time that they needed
7194s	to towards the tail end there because
7195s	again we had five minutes going into
7197s	streets phase and even though it was
7198s	smart and methodical and effective from
7201s	Fable it still took a couple tries to
7203s	close out this last phase here but still
7206s	looks very very dominant for fable I
7209s	mean you had a Persona over there on the
7211s	off angle with the overclock waiting to
7212s	pop it they do Fable has both the sound
7215s	barrier and the Ant majes to respond so
7217s	that Persona can't Peak or risk sacrif
7219s	icing their own head and even if they do
7221s	they're not going to find the one shot
7223s	because of all the over health and you
7225s	know without Persona able to have that
7226s	pop off potential you just wall off
7228s	Chuck-E-Cheese suddenly they're left
7229s	alone like a kid in a ball pit happens
7231s	to all of us we were all kids once what
7235s	I have some Chuck E cheese related
7236s	memories that like I've been regressing
7238s	since I was a young and doesn't matter
7240s	it's in the past it's in the past just
7242s	like Fable attack now we're living in
7243s	the present where narazaki have to try
7245s	and match it and I think it also does
7248s	kind of come back to an araki's kind of
7250s	failure to properly defend point a they
7253s	just let not only Arya get in and get in
7255s	on a flank but let the whole gang just
7258s	walk right through their front door put
7259s	their feet up on the the on the coffee
7261s	table and make themselves right at home
7264s	and it's not even that they're making
7266s	like these big glaring errors like it's
7268s	small things here and there where Fable
7271s	extend these fights longer in razaki
7273s	historically take it quick and you
7276s	you're in and you're out that that
7277s	that's as simple as it goes so the
7279s	longer that they go they're not as prone
7281s	to surviving this long they don't have a
7282s	plan B and C they only rely on the first
7285s	St because usually that ends up working
7288s	now they're going to have to show it on
7289s	the attack we hype it up so much they
7291s	catch some players off in this initial
7293s	WRA map they manage to convert yes
7296s	Persona that's orya out of the battle
7299s	it's very first pick don't have to worry
7301s	about the off angle pressure anymore
7303s	Kuna in a bit of trouble as the rest of
7305s	the team saving the dayak exu they're
7308s	making quick work with the first
7309s	objective now on the point and it's up
7311s	to persona for everyone else a taste of
7314s	your own medicine is a tough pill to
7315s	swallow and it's the same thing where
7317s	you have Arya over on that off angle but
7320s	this time she gets clipped by Persona
7321s	and again Fable don't really lock down
7324s	that choke point they do have another
7325s	chance to contest here though as they
7327s	did die relatively quickly but Avery
7329s	might be repeating history a little bit
7331s	here oh boy
7334s	Persona didn't have the chance to stack
7336s	some stats well here you go this will
7338s	definitely be a highlight at the end of
7340s	today's match regardless of the results
7342s	I mean inaki ex Goku they are moving
7344s	with an even greater time B than fables
7346s	if you can believe that persona's a
7348s	whole highlight ra right now and they're
7349s	not done look how far forward they're
7351s	playing right now trying to lock down
7352s	this High ground and not let Fable even
7354s	get set up for it you saw how difficult
7356s	it was for fable to crack it I mean they
7358s	did it very intelligently again on their
7361s	attack but you know in araki they don't
7363s	even have to think about it they just
7364s	have to occupy space and force stable
7366s	once again to fight into them and as
7368s	long as they're able to hold this and
7370s	keep the cart going they are in the
7371s	money right
7372s	now and they do lose out on The High
7375s	Ground as p as soon as goes through the
7377s	Midtown time and Fable who have zero
7379s	value playing on The High Ground and
7380s	araki know that look at this rotate
7382s	they're going to play in the tunnel wait
7384s	for fable to walk into them because they
7386s	have 1 2 three four little treats
7388s	waiting to give them and I'm not sure if
7391s	any really going to like them if it goes
7392s	the way I'm thinking here CB going back
7395s	up to The High Ground hang on they're
7396s	not done just yet they're playing some
7398s	mental of gymnastics they force Fable
7401s	down onto the low ground will take
7403s	advantage of them being scattered
7405s	essentially gaining this space for free
7406s	arya's like really really deep in right
7408s	now and naraki are trying to clear her
7410s	out like she's still back there but she
7412s	finally dealt with and now the
7414s	punishment comes through shuy cheese
7415s	with the annihilation wants to get over
7417s	this wall get value out of it but that's
7419s	going to push Fable
7421s	back pushes Fable back and no they're
7424s	going to be back way further now there
7426s	you need that sound barrier online look
7428s	at the onslaught of ultimates and razaki
7430s	have ready to Chuck at fables of sorry
7433s	sorry faces and they even show their
7436s	faces around the corner with Persona
7438s	charging up these shots the overclock
7439s	into Play It's arya's turn to answer
7441s	back w't even have the chance Cy and F
7445s	popping their ultimates respectively all
7447s	of the health in the world to pull it
7449s	off all the ultimates as a matter of
7451s	fact making an appearance against the
7452s	positioning of persona the Difference
7454s	Maker not even a big tool you can see
7456s	the pressure on The High Ground yes
7457s	people are trying to contest it but the
7459s	load is left all alone it's just holding
7462s	it out and with three players about to
7465s	regroup and collapse upon it it's not
7466s	going to be long fa are switching to
7468s	these stall picks understanding this was
7470s	a bloodb of a fight and one that they
7472s	can attempt clean up it would have been
7474s	a risky gamit for Avery to make this
7475s	swap had a few more members of anaraki
7478s	lift to tell the tail but they're making
7480s	swap well we have a wrecking ball on the
7482s	field now one Mouse a hamster here but
7484s	Avery is still getting work done with
7486s	the doomfist and narazaki they're no
7488s	longer in control of this point Fable
7490s	have reclaimed it thanks to this skull
7493s	swap oh that's brutal that's brutal you
7495s	reset your old charge and now you're on
7497s	a wrecking ball so you either roll back
7499s	to the spawns or now you're stuck on the
7501s	good old hamster I think you wish you
7502s	could roll back the clock to before you
7504s	made that Swap and just played for the
7505s	next one cuz you still had yeah two and
7507s	a half minutes to try and get back on
7509s	the point here it's rough mean
7512s	chuckecheese is barely hanging on to
7514s	life right now and you're still on the
7516s	hamster I mean this is just so much time
7518s	that you're losing finally the hamster
7520s	goes down I'm actually cheering for the
7522s	sake of inaki right now going back to a
7525s	reasonable composition fav themselves
7527s	still on the doomfist likely swapping
7529s	off because Persona isn't done yet I'm
7531s	sorry that's two looking for the third
7533s	the overclock was popped up getting it
7536s	my gosh a living High re that is who
7539s	Persona is and the Persona they're
7541s	developing for themselves I I do again
7544s	want to thank Chuck E Che for swapping
7546s	off of the wrecking ball back to the
7547s	ratra that is not at all what I meant by
7549s	ball pit that's not what I wanted to see
7551s	out from you but Persona popping off is
7553s	exactly what we keep wanting to see from
7555s	inarizaki and they've got three minutes
7557s	just like Fable did to try and capture
7559s	this point here and they have ults to do
7561s	it they've got a sound barrier they've
7563s	got an amp Matrix and they're definitely
7565s	going to have that blizzard long before
7567s	mini is even going to be on the same
7569s	tectonic plate as one and that might be
7571s	enough to get them to at least that
7573s	stagger fight towards the
7575s	end it's entirely possible right now and
7579s	highly possible through inaki X and Goku
7581s	regain that momentum and just smash
7585s	themselves through the gates of final
7588s	Central Station freeing them up has the
7590s	BL the perfect opportunity to throw it
7592s	down that will be one two three players
7594s	oh it's all so easy to hit them if
7597s	they're standing still and nothing that
7599s	they can do about it oh and araki ex
7601s	Goku that's one ultimate TB that's all
7603s	they needed to win this battle they
7606s	still got two in the tank and it's the
7607s	best Ultimate they could possibly asked
7609s	for cuz like you said they still got two
7611s	in the tank it might not be enough to
7613s	really drive it home but it is going to
7615s	make it difficult for fable to
7617s	capitalize cuz they're going to be
7618s	walking into love amp Matrix they're
7619s	going to have to try and kite that out
7620s	wait for that to go down and even once
7622s	that's down you have the sound barrier
7624s	all that over Health to try and chunk
7626s	through here comes the first phase
7628s	there's the sound
7629s	barrier able they're striking first but
7632s	do they strike better Arya can't find
7635s	the shots the immortality field in her
7637s	way and even then no players s within
7639s	her crosshairs fire to strike first Arya
7642s	backing it up with a second chy cheese
7644s	wants to try to make this one happen and
7646s	this looks to be a losing battle no
7648s	support available the ultimate goes down
7651s	the drain Fable get a barrier barely
7655s	barely managing to stop it for a couple
7657s	meters yeah it's uh it's real close less
7660s	than a meter in fact less than half a
7661s	meter away from disaster there that's
7663s	very cable so you're going to see mini
7665s	trying to lag behind to make sure that
7667s	maob doesn't go in for anything cheeky
7669s	early lamp from Panther I think that
7671s	might have been a fat finger I really
7673s	hope that's not a mistake that comes
7674s	back to bite Fable they still have some
7676s	ults to try and leverage if they need to
7678s	but so do inarizaki but they only have
7681s	one minute to try and drive this through
7683s	and remember they have to have time in
7685s	the bank if they want to go to Extra
7687s	Innings hey there's no immortality field
7690s	out there persona's like all right let
7691s	me get my hands dirty kuna we get the
7693s	first final blow everyone's so focused
7695s	on what the sold was doing you forget
7697s	about the rat marching on through your
7700s	front line oh you would have L to see it
7703s	that fat finger did come back to bite
7704s	them Z you were right and arak x and
7707s	Goku they're going to finish the map
7709s	with time on the clock we have way more
7711s	rounds ahead of this without the
7713s	immortality field Fable are very much so
7715s	pondering their mortality at the hands
7717s	of anaraki and yeah we're going to Extra
7719s	Innings only a minute in the time bank
7721s	for anaraki X1 Goku they'll be first up
7724s	to bat Fable getting a little bit of a
7726s	boost up to about a minute and a half
7727s	for them but pretty even overall and we
7730s	saw fast takes on both sides for the
7732s	first round so I mean first of all we
7734s	have to see that again from inarizaki
7736s	they have to be just as Swift as they
7737s	were the first time around and Fable
7740s	have to try and lock down that choke
7742s	point like neither team was able to do
7744s	the first the first time around we got
7746s	to try and stop the bleeding we can't
7748s	just be letting everybody right into our
7750s	Point all willy-nilly uncheck you know
7752s	we at least got to check their IDs first
7754s	like come
7755s	on you're not even supposed to be in
7757s	This Club come on get out of here
7759s	uhuh nope we only accept members of our
7762s	own team thank you very much this will
7765s	need to be a much better hold though you
7767s	are you are very right in that sense
7768s	fael and inaki struggled on their own
7771s	defenses particularly with these May
7773s	walls to properly utilize them isolating
7776s	players or stopping attacks they were
7778s	used defensively way too much and you
7780s	didn't get that value as soon as those
7782s	coold Downs were out it was just a rush
7784s	on forward from the attack simple Lucio
7786s	speed on in you punch a couple people
7788s	the point is theirs that narrative needs
7791s	to change or fable they want to have a
7794s	chance of even the scoreboard it was
7796s	also Arya that fell the first time
7797s	around she's going to have to be a
7798s	little bit more careful I think she
7799s	might even be playing a slightly no
7801s	never mind she's playing the exact same
7802s	angle she was before kuna going to do
7804s	the same wall they did the first time
7806s	but this time mini walls off the lrat so
7809s	araki can't go for the rotation that
7811s	they want to go through to try and get
7812s	themselves to the
7814s	point now they can't get that final spot
7817s	but Arya lands the shot Fable the
7820s	opening that they needed to happen you
7822s	don't have any Mobility for inner aaki X
7824s	Tung Goku it is important they don't
7826s	stagger themselves out continue to play
7828s	safe CU they'll have one last attempt a
7831s	full five sack of players in Midtown
7834s	Arya now has to play back here on top of
7836s	the point is she going to be able to
7838s	find another pickoff to completely stop
7840s	inarizaki in their tracks but Persona
7842s	has a very contestable high ground here
7844s	that can maybe find an angle onto Arya
7846s	and does also have Overlook over the
7848s	point which sojourn is going to strike
7850s	first who's going to strike hardest and
7852s	araki don't touch the point so we'll
7853s	never
7855s	know my brain my brain no no no no no no
7858s	no no no no no this did not happen it it
7860s	happened C why did this happen in such a
7863s	high level tournament inaki X10 Goku had
7866s	the opportunity well we never know if
7868s	they had the opportunity because the
7869s	game it just ended that's it that's that
7871s	you are going to have to be with a lose
7874s	draw scenario we are going to more maps
7879s	uh I mean Chucky I mean we've seen
7881s	apparently Chuck-E-Cheese does have a
7883s	very regrettable affinity for Mobility
7885s	heroes in the tank department so failed
7887s	to utilize the uh the mobility that
7890s	ratra offers and hold the the uh I think
7892s	the D key just to get a little bit
7894s	closer to the point there where it's
7895s	actually in contest and you can actually
7897s	set Persona up to hit some shots but
7899s	they don't even have time to do so yeah
7902s	we're going uh we're definit I mean we
7904s	were going to go to more maps regardless
7905s	but this is now very much so Fable map
7908s	to win win all they have to do is get a
7910s	singular solitary tick and if it goes as
7913s	quickly as it did last time and araki
7915s	are in trouble and if they don't contest
7918s	the point they're they're definitely in
7920s	trouble they're absolutely in trouble oh
7922s	yeah we got a we got a brief glimpse of
7924s	what that looks like thanks to inaki ex
7926s	and Goku um yeah thanks guys appreciate
7929s	it um please don't do that again Fable
7931s	now they're going to have a chance one
7933s	and a half minutes is still not a bunch
7936s	of time to work with it will give you
7938s	definely one fight maybe two coming on
7941s	out but they need to work quickly so
7943s	mini where is this wall going to go we
7946s	saw how kuna likes to use the walls to
7948s	go in but on the flip side where does
7950s	mini place it looks like it's going to
7952s	be the same place but Fable aren't going
7954s	through the LA M they just going to go
7955s	right around the fire truck and Arya
7956s	already has an angle once again she is
7959s	set up on this flank is she going to be
7961s	able to get another shot onto love like
7962s	she did before no it's Cuda oh that's
7965s	even worse that's even worse for anaki
7967s	oh you need your player Liv to section
7969s	them off it didn't even get to throw one
7971s	up in front of arya's face B this is
7974s	their time to shine kuna moving over to
7976s	the far an attempt to surprise players
7979s	coming on back Chuck-E-Cheese following
7981s	this point presence is going down onto
7984s	the DPS and raki X10 Goku last strings
7987s	they have standing even those are being
7990s	CAU to Pieces the bird wings clipped B
7994s	are going to be evening up the score in
7997s	our series one of peace oh CB we got a
8000s	game on our hands and you know and araki
8002s	are going to be kicking themselves for
8003s	that C9 we will never know what their
8006s	offense was going to look like we will
8008s	never know just how far they could have
8009s	taken the ball and ran with it because
8011s	they didn't even get a chance to hold on
8013s	to it there Fable completely take it
8015s	away from them it's now in their Court
8017s	sure when we go to our next map it's
8019s	going to be an araki's map pick but they
8021s	definitely felt like they had a better
8023s	shot going into this
8025s	one you would think I mean you look at
8028s	this game and you see here that inar
8030s	oaki we're just struggling on the
8032s	defense I mean Fable didn't have the
8034s	brightest moments either but at the same
8037s	time these are two teams that excel at
8040s	running full force at each other and on
8043s	these attacks when they are forced to
8045s	walk into each other it's great but when
8047s	you have to actually set up to defend
8048s	we're like What do we do again I want to
8050s	push my wkey but maybe I shouldn't push
8052s	my w key and then they get indecisive
8053s	and you know we end up in situations
8055s	like that yeah and it like
8058s	defending is very difficult as well when
8060s	you have a sojun On Your Flank who
8062s	constantly have angles on your backline
8064s	or indeed you know angles on Duna who's
8066s	just walking face first into it does not
8068s	expect to get rail shots of the Dome at
8070s	all it is actually it was actually fiery
8072s	that ended up cleaning that one up but
8073s	it's still just kind of looked like kuna
8075s	walked through that door and stepped on
8077s	a rake that was just waiting for him
8079s	there like Arya like definitely popped
8081s	off you saw Persona as well just like
8083s	you're looking at right now popping off
8084s	getting nearly team kills on their own
8088s	it's still soj for soj shot for shot bar
8091s	for bar but this time it's Arya that
8093s	comes out a little bit ahead doing no
8095s	small part to some key missteps that
8097s	came out from anaraki X10 Goku they need
8100s	to get in step if they want to stay in
8102s	this
8103s	match in I mean this has to be a step up
8108s	from this team in order to match the
8110s	tempo Fable are outputting right now a
8112s	lot of the times it looked like that
8114s	Fable was in control they have a more
8116s	well-rounded team whereas inaki X1 Goku
8119s	sure they got really far through this
8122s	point they made a really quick work of
8124s	the first objective and second but a lot
8126s	of that was due to Persona like
8128s	literally killing three or four people
8130s	you can't be relying on that every
8132s	single time I mean Persona a highlights
8134s	as ever 20 final blows out of 30
8137s	eliminations and continuing to put up
8140s	performances such as that it's great but
8142s	it can't be the only thing that eraki
8144s	rying on I like how even in defeat
8146s	though Persona is still kind of standing
8148s	Head and Shoulders a top the rest of the
8150s	DPS line like Arya is still very close
8153s	like at their damage numbers you have
8155s	less than 1K separating them and like
8157s	five final blows or sorry five oims that
8159s	separate the two of them Arya having a
8161s	lot more deaths it look like she's
8162s	getting caught out a lot more so you
8165s	know maybe uh maybe anaraki are doing a
8167s	better chance of keeping her in check
8169s	than I initially thought but maybe a
8171s	little bit more is needed cuz she's
8172s	still finding a ton of value while she's
8175s	alive yeah lucky for them they are going
8177s	to have an opport opportunity to find a
8179s	little bit more before we head into our
8181s	next Maps we'll be heading to a brief
8183s	intermission don't go anywhere plenty
8185s	more calling all heroes still round out

8335s	[Music]
8376s	facing elimination from championships is
8378s	a uh it's definitely a lot of pressure
8381s	but it seems as though both of these
8382s	teams are thriving under that pressure
8384s	they do not want to be the first to bow
8386s	out of this tournament and they are
8388s	showing it especially Persona on the
8391s	side of an araki X10 Goku but despite
8393s	that Fable are able to take Midtown and
8396s	take us to a map number three it's an
8398s	araki's map pick it certainly is and no
8401s	matter which one they pick even though I
8403s	have a feeling go it's going to be this
8405s	is going to be a map type inaki has the
8408s	ability to shine this squad they move
8411s	fast they get in they get out allow
8413s	Persona to slice through a couple of
8415s	people you pick sasao in love to see it
8419s	I mean this is this is exactly where
8421s	they needed to be they had control and
8423s	flash point under lock it's map types
8426s	that are slower that will lean a little
8428s	bit more towards Fable surasa oh this is
8431s	this is inaki written all over you say
8434s	that but I I mean looking at Midtown I
8435s	almost kind of feel like Fable have kind
8437s	of adopted that fast-paced play style of
8440s	their own especially Arya who sometimes
8442s	is moving too fast for her own good but
8444s	as long as she's taken a couple people
8445s	down with her it's kind of worth it
8447s	every time right like she's getting a
8448s	lot of value we have to keep an eye on
8451s	the Arya versus Persona 1 V one because
8453s	these sojourns are dictating the pace
8455s	for their entire team the May
8456s	head-to-head is still ever important as
8459s	it's always been and will continue to be
8461s	throughout this meta but these two soj
8464s	players are redefining that just a
8466s	little bit getting the spotlight shown
8467s	on them and Persona could lead the
8470s	charge to getting anaraki back in this
8472s	game and getting them the victory
8474s	sending Fable out
8476s	early I I don't think doesn't matter if
8478s	Persona could lead the charge it's
8480s	literally Persona has been leading the
8482s	charge at times Persona has been the
8484s	charge Char is the
8487s	charge literally like you can't
8489s	understate their impact enough right and
8492s	how many times did we see Persona
8495s	getting like three or four final blows a
8497s	fight a little bit more than you would
8499s	usually see from a player at this level
8502s	of gamep playay so it's something that
8504s	Fable needs to keep under lock
8506s	especially with a map that's just flasho
8509s	it's so open there are countless types
8511s	of rotations that you can take with the
8514s	lucios and the so and it's going to be
8516s	Arya versus Persona while Arya has had
8519s	great positioning herself as he said
8521s	sometimes just a little too quick for
8522s	her own good I'm a little bit curious I
8525s	mean we're going to talk a lot about
8526s	quickness again when we're talking about
8527s	anaraki X10 Goku CU like we said that's
8530s	how they like to play because of that
8532s	and because we're on flasho I'm
8533s	wondering if we're going to see any
8536s	adjustments any Chang changes to the
8538s	composition or if both of these teams
8540s	are going to stick with the ratra we saw
8542s	Vancouver Titans blue try and fail to
8544s	leverage the junker Queen composition
8546s	and that seems like the kind of thing
8548s	that maybe inarizaki might be interested
8550s	in but maybe they're not fully committed
8552s	to it looks like both teams currently
8554s	are flashing the ratra composition which
8556s	is interesting we'll have to see how
8558s	this ends up playing out but maybe this
8561s	will fa favor favor Fable since we're
8566s	don't worry about it oh I'm full of FWS
8568s	most of which I can't say on broadcast
8570s	but this one fa favored very much so in
8574s	this composition or maybe not it still
8576s	feels very even still neither team has
8578s	really come out ahead in in this
8581s	head-to-head and as much as you would
8584s	like to say that one team oh you have
8586s	the upper hand it's not the case it's
8587s	it's really not with Fable adapting the
8590s	way that they have to how and razaki
8593s	have decided to Pace their gameplay I
8595s	mean it seriously is a toss up a CO flip
8598s	will come out on top Market of course
8600s	it's a very defining objective for how
8603s	the rest of flash point will go getting
8605s	a momentum boost on this map type is a
8608s	massive indicator of who will end it
8611s	with the most in the bag narazaki not
8614s	going to be able to get to the point
8615s	first it will be Fable they had that
8617s	symmetric TP they rotated Around The Far
8619s	Side mayw well though is already
8622s	disposed of the chance that narazaki
8624s	could pull off if yet they're opting to
8626s	extend this poke phas they were Lely
8627s	trying on Persona to find a pick off
8629s	they know that someone's hiding in that
8631s	corner and Avery shall be punished for
8634s	it even if Persona off the edge of the
8637s	side Fable not enough prate percentage
8639s	throughout all of this neutral so it's
8640s	not the end of the world if they end up
8643s	giving up this objective something
8645s	that's a little bit interesting though
8646s	in that first fight though was that
8647s	Persona was not on any sort of off angle
8650s	with the lucier like we usually see with
8651s	some of these compositions Persona was
8653s	just in the backline also pumping out
8655s	the damage thankfully that early pick
8657s	off on Avery comes through so you're not
8659s	really relying on Persona to pop off but
8661s	maybe now that naraki are in control of
8663s	the point you'll be able to set Persona
8665s	up and bait Fable in through one of the
8667s	various choke points back into this
8669s	point you can already see they're
8670s	playing a slight off angle but still
8672s	relatively grouped with the rest of the
8674s	team as Fable are going to go ahead and
8676s	try and take this approach through the
8678s	uh the top part of the point
8680s	here going to move around it's not bad
8683s	you're on the even playing field uh but
8686s	regardless of where approach icicles
8688s	still do hurt especially if you receive
8690s	them between the eyeballs uh so Fable
8693s	yeah you're not pushing without your
8694s	sojourn and will'll have another crack
8696s	at this objective assuming they don't
8697s	lose anyone else I mean yeah they're
8699s	playing with fire kuna still definitely
8701s	wants to take a couple bodies if they're
8703s	able to but yeah Fable don't want to
8704s	show themselves they're going to take
8705s	another opportunity at it but they might
8706s	have already shown their hands as that
8708s	they're going to be going through this
8709s	particular Archway that you see kuna
8711s	already kind of has locked down ready to
8713s	put a wall up but it is actually going
8714s	to section off Avery canar Zaki follow
8716s	up
8719s	the blizzard going on through and
8720s	getting loved best pickoff that you
8722s	could ask for if you're a fan of fable
8725s	right now they need to push it on
8726s	through Arya as the overclock in order
8728s	to do it all the resources are expens
8731s	inaki running on fumes and they're not
8733s	going to have much to run on here as
8735s	soon as Arya is done with them not
8737s	seeing the end of market quite yet yeah
8740s	99% though so araki they're going to
8742s	have another fight where they can come
8743s	in and if they are able to win that
8745s	fight outright they do they they do win
8747s	the first point here and they're going
8748s	to have a lot of ss to do it Fable are
8750s	realistically only going to have the
8752s	annihilation and the sound barrier to
8753s	drag it out to 99 for themselves but
8755s	they have to win the fight somehow so I
8757s	think you're going to be looking at Arya
8759s	to try and find a kill or try and force
8761s	out an ult early from an araki you can
8764s	already once again see she's on an off
8765s	angle but fiery isn't actually with her
8767s	so she might be at risk of getting
8769s	caught out here was actually important
8771s	that FY stays with the team just for the
8773s	reason that sound barrier is in play if
8775s	you're Fable you need to be expecting
8777s	inter saki have multiple ultimates up
8779s	online all of them require a sound
8781s	barrier to counter them out the three
8784s	popped with the sound bar the cushion is
8786s	present fa up to nearly full health
8789s	unless we a who is in a pit of suffering
8792s	right now the mayw well at their back
8793s	immortality feeling doing its job
8795s	perfectly now that all the fireworks the
8797s	dust has settled it's back to this
8800s	neutral game and raki ex and Goku have
8801s	looked better every single time this has
8803s	come out because of Chuck-E-Cheese
8805s	because of persona and with how low
8807s	Fable health bars are dwindling slowly
8810s	flip is going to come on through and
8813s	Fable can't convert on the remainder of
8815s	Market giving it over to inak it's mini
8818s	that falls first and losing your May is
8820s	absolutely awful especially considering
8822s	Panther was about 2% away from that a
8825s	matrix that potentially could have
8826s	bailed Fable out of that and bought them
8828s	back in even after mini had fallen but
8830s	without the ability to section off with
8832s	the walls to slow the pace of the fight
8834s	on your terms Panthers just can get
8836s	walked on by Chuck-E-Cheese by the rest
8838s	of anaraki does inevitably fall and will
8840s	have that ant Matrix now but loved has
8843s	made up the difference it's now matched
8845s	and kuna is going to have a blizzard
8846s	here and not only that narazaki are the
8848s	first team to get their meat hooks
8851s	firmly in control of the point
8853s	here this is inaki fight to win IM is
8857s	put out in a spot that really can't be
8859s	used but every catches that flank out
8862s	onto Persona that was incredibly
8864s	aggressive from them and a big error
8866s	that in DOI are going to pay for here
8868s	momentarily the blizzard will have to
8870s	come out kuna catches the tank up at the
8873s	cost of their own life and it's just
8876s	another ultimate going down and raki
8878s	everything was laid out for them they
8880s	just they just stand red carpet the
8881s	beard off like no I want more they got
8883s	aggressive and here they are feeling
8886s	deficit oh that's such a great play from
8888s	Avery though to go for that early kill
8889s	onto Persona who has been the consistent
8891s	thorn in Fable side always on those off
8893s	angles always finding the big picks with
8895s	the rail shot Avery takes that soj out
8898s	and suddenly Fable don't have to be
8899s	looking over their shoulders trying to
8900s	find where that sj's next rail shot is
8902s	going to come from they just got to
8904s	worry about what's in front of them and
8905s	it's a full five course meal they eat an
8907s	araki up take the point 35% for narazaki
8910s	the blizzard comes out from mini Fable
8912s	they're still hungry oh bble is still
8915s	hungry and they are gobbling them right
8918s	up that's two down only the blizzard
8920s	committed and this is fa they're known
8922s	for their ultimate management the
8924s	discipline that they showcase is matched
8926s	by very few squads big reason why there
8929s	is consistently in the chance and
8930s	they're about to have all of their
8931s	ultimates save for that blizzard that
8933s	mini expelled to try and get that fight
8934s	win there and we're about at one fight
8936s	territory for this point here so in
8938s	araki they're going to be looking at
8940s	Persona to try and make a play right now
8941s	but you can look at the health bar for
8943s	Persona already in check from Fable they
8946s	know where Persona wants to try and play
8948s	and they're going to try and lock that
8949s	one
8951s	down pretty far out here oh Min is in
8954s	big trouble the sound be rearing on
8957s	forwards Ora and the rest of the team a
8959s	chance to fight on through they went so
8962s	early and razaki still have two big
8964s	ultimates to pop on out and this is the
8966s	time to pull out all the stocks
8969s	Chuck-E-Cheese clearing the objective
8971s	Avery feeling that Annihilation timer
8974s	even further able they're not out of it
8976s	yet they bought their time they're
8978s	waiting the resources to be exhausted
8980s	while it is a risky play it is one that
8982s	will pay off in the long run and just
8985s	like that CB we all TI
8987s	it was actually kind of almost a mistake
8989s	from Fable though because you saw the
8991s	antrix and the overclock came out on an
8993s	angle that they thought inarizaki was
8994s	going to walk into but they just kind of
8997s	you know circumvent that go around the
8998s	other way get the early touch there but
9000s	despite that Fable are able to buy
9002s	themselves back in with the annihilation
9004s	and just through sheer Brute Force but
9007s	now you're down ultimates you don't
9009s	really have all the tools you need
9010s	you're going to have min's blizzard sure
9012s	but have a look at Kuna not that far
9014s	behind and you still once again have to
9016s	worry about Persona who's been a little
9018s	quiet this map but again will probably
9021s	have some words to say here if given the
9024s	opportunity and you don't want to give
9025s	Persona the opportunity because it ends
9028s	in tragedy espcially for fable right now
9031s	will be on the objective first palace a
9034s	very open map can play around there's
9036s	these four little pillars on the side
9038s	and you got to be cautious you're
9039s	approaching Avery oh that is a cold
9042s	welcome that inaki are giving here if
9045s	enemy player able did capture the point
9048s	though and the trade out this one is
9050s	still anybody's game of getting Frozen
9052s	up mean the health bars are relatively
9054s	low and able are free to push on up even
9057s	further to build that percent yeah and
9058s	araki went all in to try and catch Avery
9060s	out there and sure they win that battle
9062s	but they lose the war they lose the
9063s	point Fable gets the early cap they
9065s	trade out Chuck E Chi so a tank for a
9067s	tank and with the the positional
9069s	Advantage they're able to just press
9071s	inarizaki further and further back away
9073s	from their own spawn by the way mind you
9075s	is the way that that one ended up
9076s	playing out as you can see the overhead
9078s	so there wasn't even the opportunity to
9080s	try and extend that fight and get
9081s	chuckecheese back in you just kind of
9084s	had to die and give it up and that's
9086s	only one fight and have a look at how
9088s	many more naraki have left in for this
9090s	point hint it's this
9093s	one this one and the only one better
9096s	make it good andak no oh Persona shut
9100s	down man The Matrix o the damage that
9104s	can't be dodged oh talk about being
9106s	being quiet your shut down being senses
9108s	the words don't even Escape their mouth
9111s	inaki x t Goku oh they're pulling out
9114s	brutality fields and the sound barrier
9117s	attempt to stall this one out even
9118s	further but Arya stands in the way ever
9121s	strong never moving never breaking she's
9124s	been a little bit quiet it's been
9125s	Persona in the game but here she is
9128s	proving that she too has a voice within
9130s	this map and it's giving Fable the room
9133s	to work the room to dominate here on pal
9137s	is the most one-sided Point we've seen
9138s	thus far and it very well could lead us
9141s	to the last one and Persona does get
9142s	their receipt onto Arya there but Arya
9145s	served a gag order there we were talking
9146s	about Persona needs to speak up have
9147s	some words to say Arya says nuh-uh
9150s	silence just shuts down shuts down the
9153s	overclock completely with a one single
9155s	rail shot through an ant Matrix one that
9157s	by the way Panther is already two-thirds
9159s	of the way back up to and Fable are on
9161s	map Point here for surasa and like you
9164s	said you said that this might favor an
9166s	our but it does not look like it flash
9168s	point is looking very much so like
9170s	fables to
9171s	win this has been this has been a mess
9173s	and oraki Goku the longer this game or
9176s	this map rather has gone on the sloppier
9179s	than it has looked in terms of their
9180s	team play their coordination completely
9183s	out the window doesn't even exist in the
9185s	first place I'm starting to genuinely
9187s	dealt that how this is going minaki and
9189s	Goku they got the ultimates but I'm
9192s	still not confident they can win the
9193s	next fight CB yeah i' link i' I've said
9195s	it about a thousand times Ross all of
9197s	our casts and ult Advantage doesn't mean
9198s	a damn thing if you're not given a
9200s	chance to use it and they definitely get
9201s	an opportunity to hit any of their cues
9203s	they're going to have a lot of them but
9205s	it's not going to matter all that much
9207s	when you're constantly playing into
9208s	Fable hand Panther can just go ahead and
9210s	pop an amp Matrix up here on from
9212s	whatever angle and araki tried to go and
9214s	play from but Panther actually forced
9216s	down so an araki do have a Way Forward
9219s	they almost take down mini that's a lot
9220s	of resources expelled for fable o that's
9223s	a ton going out and at the price of min
9227s	not a good look this is an araki's
9229s	chance put themselves back in the game
9231s	make me eat my own words previously
9234s	that's going to start with clearing that
9235s	objective Fable are still getting an
9236s	impressive amount of percentage here on
9239s	this point and the problem is with that
9242s	Flip's going to come through here x and
9244s	Goku they are nowhere near safe in fact
9247s	territory mini gets a little bit greedy
9249s	there actually going to come back on the
9250s	Tracer but I don't think that's going to
9252s	stick for all that much longer like let
9253s	him go back and make the swap to the May
9255s	once uh once tracer's been dealt with
9257s	come on get out of here all right now
9259s	likely going to hopefully swap back over
9261s	onto the may but the rest of fable is
9263s	actually already in position to try and
9265s	fight this again Arya Falls and F's
9268s	going to follow as well Fable I mean
9271s	they still have some time to play with
9273s	but they just wasted a ton of it and it
9275s	goes back again to mini being really
9277s	really greedy there getting caught out
9279s	and then the ice block and the
9280s	immortality field both being forced just
9283s	to try and keep your May alive and it
9284s	doesn't actually work out and now like
9287s	Fable they don't have the ult advantage
9289s	that they need they don't have the
9290s	positional advantage that they need
9291s	they've kind of just lost everything
9294s	they have to rely on arya's overclock
9296s	versus personas to get themselves back
9298s	in onto this point and close this one
9299s	out and araki is a scrappy team you
9302s	don't want to give them the opportuni to
9303s	buy themselves back into this
9305s	map they will rely they operate like
9308s	clockwork in azaki they're there with
9311s	the Hammers of busting things up they
9314s	need to make it happen here quickly zi
9316s	while they have the overtime clock
9318s	burning it might not last for long over
9320s	clocks on both ends and it's CA who hits
9324s	the D first able we still have an an
9326s	Matrix waiting in the back pocket it's
9328s	even more pressure applied to the tank
9330s	Chuck-E-Cheese can't sustain themselves
9332s	on the objective araki have time pull a
9335s	reset chuckecheese there's no need to do
9336s	anything rash right about now Waits your
9339s	turn get everybody back and the best
9342s	chance cuz otherwise Fable in control of
9344s	this objective mat Matrix not getting a
9347s	whole lot there won't be any more big
9348s	abilities this fight as Chucky Seas has
9351s	something to say about it saved up all
9354s	of their tickets for this exact moment
9357s	Annihilation comes on out the big
9359s	purchase of the day Arya goes down kuna
9362s	looking to freeze the competition into
9364s	place while that doesn't find much the
9367s	results for inaki is the same going all
9370s	five rounds here on flash but that was
9373s	two real big money ults that anaraki
9375s	would have liked to have going into this
9377s	next Point here that they're not going
9378s	to have to try and get first control
9379s	here Fable still has the blizzard and
9381s	they're coming up to annihilation of
9382s	their own two ultimates that an araki
9384s	had to use just to keep themselves alive
9387s	in this map and that's exactly what
9388s	happens when you're constantly behind
9390s	the eightball when you're not in control
9392s	they're going to have to try and get
9393s	there first they're going to have to try
9395s	and leverage again Persona getting onto
9397s	an early off angle to save off the
9398s	pressure that Fable can apply with min's
9401s	blizzard here where is this blizzard
9403s	going to go and are they even going to
9405s	need it do coing walls come out from
9407s	either side no blood yet kuna might have
9409s	be the first to get caught out kuna is
9411s	in trouble right now goes way too far
9413s	out that's a greedy play from the May
9417s	and at least you get the blizzard out of
9418s	mini you could say if you want to be
9420s	really generous right now in a raki
9423s	you're not winning this battle it will
9424s	be Fable getting the first ticks of
9426s	percentage here on Gardens you have to
9429s	come back in against a pile of Al and
9432s	greedy is really the only way that you
9433s	can say that you can call that about for
9436s	for trying to go for a really aggressive
9437s	angle to get a good wall there gets
9439s	caught out mini just has to go in with
9440s	the blizzard and again that's one ult
9442s	one fight win it's as clean as can
9445s	possibly be from Fable and they're going
9447s	to have a lot to try and make this fight
9449s	Go the Distance yeah and araki are going
9450s	to have ults of their own but more ults
9452s	usually is going to mean a longer
9453s	bloodier fight that's going to get
9454s	fabled at least to that 99 here going to
9457s	Wi pop The Ant mrix and kuna is already
9459s	dead don't stand in front the pict with
9461s	the soldier and kuna you will get shot
9464s	and it's going to hurt oh that's one way
9466s	to go six speed under inaki X1 Goku you
9469s	got to get a reset and you need to do it
9471s	quickly they don't have the player they
9473s	get out right surely they T they take
9476s	down Arya though so it's kind of even
9478s	and araki are going to have an
9479s	opportunity to get back in here you
9480s	don't have to worry about arya's
9481s	overclock but you will have to worry
9483s	about it coming in from an off angle
9485s	late into this fight so you have to try
9486s	and be swift here Here Comes Love's ant
9488s	Matrix Persona is looking for any one to
9490s	peek their heads through it but no
9492s	peeping Toms today going to have to try
9493s	and take a more aggressive angle
9496s	both the maze fall first 4v5 and sound
9499s	bear teams on an even playing field get
9501s	it Fable who sits on top there are on
9504s	the throne so close to taking control of
9507s	this map inaki need to stay on the
9509s	objective we do not need a repeat of
9511s	Midtown please and thank you all the
9513s	ultimates are gone chuckecheese once
9515s	again there is their time to shine too
9518s	late though for Arya still alive the
9520s	damage being pumped through there's
9521s	nobody else for able to shoot except the
9524s	tank the health Burns on down it's kuna
9527s	coming back from the early grave and
9530s	blizzard here could be the game changer
9532s	and it has to be for the sake of inaki
9534s	they don't want to go up on m point they
9536s	don't want to do it just yet but they
9537s	get off the point no CB it happened
9540s	again no way defining a map is solved by
9545s	the simplest of errors fael are going to
9548s	walk away with surasa and are one map
9551s	away from knocking inaki
9554s	out I I am in shock because that is I I
9559s	I that is potentially the most
9561s	heartbreaking way to lose a map and you
9562s	know you've lost both of your Maps now
9564s	do in no small part to pretty egregious
9567s	C9 I think if you had stayed alive a
9569s	little bit longer and kept that point in
9571s	contest you would have been able to
9572s	build up to kuna's Blizzard and you know
9574s	Fable were already making the swap over
9576s	to some fast Heroes you already had like
9578s	the Tracer coming out uh and L of the
9580s	May so you could have potentially bought
9582s	yourself back in built up the momentum
9584s	and even won the whole map outright but
9586s	but they're not able to do so because
9588s	there's just too much pressure from
9589s	Fable there's not enough staying power
9591s	for inarizaki they take one step back
9593s	and the overtime Wick Burns a lot faster
9596s	than you thought it would than you were
9597s	ready for and you only have one more of
9600s	those that can happen before you're done
9602s	before you go home empty empty-handed
9604s	and that is the worst possible way to be
9608s	sent
9609s	packing oh my God CV I said at the
9611s	beginning of the fight you're not going
9613s	to see n this right I said it before it
9615s	happened why would I do that I mean
9617s	inaki X1 Goku at this point you could
9620s	have won that right that was such a
9622s	winnable battle that we just never get
9624s	to know the end of and when they're a
9627s	team that is fighting to too with Fable
9629s	and there aren't these massive
9631s	indicators of who comes out on top and
9633s	yet you're losing fights for reasons
9635s	completely within your control it it's
9638s	brutal this has to stop inner aaki you
9641s	are on your last limb heading into push
9644s	it's not going to be an easy map type
9646s	who Fable have found this level this
9649s	Dynamic level of control over the tempo
9651s	that they're taking where inaki they
9653s	rush in with plan a they don't have a
9655s	second they don't have plan b or c
9657s	whereas Fable they do these fights go
9659s	longer and the longer they go the more
9661s	often we see Fable come out on top and I
9664s	mean look at Persona a lot more like a
9667s	lot more quiet than we're used to seeing
9669s	it was definitely Arya that got the
9671s	better of this exchange this time around
9673s	and potentially a microcosm of this
9675s	whole series is we still have that back
9677s	and forth between the two hit scan DPS
9679s	on either side right now in the entire
9681s	series the macro it feels like uh like
9684s	Fable are in the driver's seat but it's
9686s	not done and dusted it's not in the bag
9688s	they haven't completely walked away with
9689s	it there's still an opportunity for
9691s	narazaki to buy themselves back into it
9693s	just like there was on that last point
9695s	on surasa just then but they can't make
9699s	the same mistake they can't slip up the
9701s	same way they did the same way they did
9702s	on Midtown they have to try and correct
9705s	this play leg that is just weighing them
9707s	down let Persona pound and you know you
9710s	can win if Persona gets the better of
9712s	Arya if you just take control away from
9716s	Fable there can't be any more mistakes
9718s	like that here on outs whether it is a
9721s	C9 or something even bigger when you
9724s	look at a push map those are the least
9726s	forgiving map types that you are going
9728s	to see in the entire game of OverWatch
9731s	you get off to a bad start you get
9733s	forward your opponent gets forward
9734s	spawns unlocked suddenly you're figh at
9736s	your spawns gate you don't walk back
9738s	from that nine times out of 10 and if
9741s	inaki are still crumbling they're still
9743s	feeling that pressure from that loss on
9745s	Midtown the C9 there a C9 on surasa you
9749s	can't let that plague you from a
9751s	competitive standpoint you need to keep
9752s	your mental strong because it is not
9754s	over until it is over and I I think the
9757s	worst part of this all is regardless of
9760s	what push map we choose I feel like the
9762s	weight of the world is going to be on
9764s	persona's shoulders just because of the
9765s	way this is all shaken out right cuz I
9768s	feel like esperansa doesn't really favor
9770s	may all that much so you might even see
9772s	some swaps that come out of the flex DPS
9774s	there coloso you're going to be looking
9776s	for the hit scan players to Leverage The
9777s	High grounds and that's where it's going
9779s	to come into play for Persona as well
9782s	also in that narrow Corridor in the
9783s	center so whichever route we go you're
9787s	kind of relying on Persona everybody
9789s	else does need to you know shape their
9791s	ship up but it like coliseo is where
9794s	we're going to go so it looks like
9796s	that's what it's going to be gonna have
9797s	to try and leverage that High Ground try
9799s	and put the weight onto Persona and hope
9802s	that they can come up with it but you
9804s	you you have Arya on the other side who
9805s	on surasa was getting the better you
9807s	have Fable who are in the driver's seat
9808s	right now they've got the momentum
9810s	they've got everything they need and
9811s	araki you don't want to go home you
9813s	don't want to be the first to duck out
9815s	and you definitely don't want to do it
9816s	like that I for some the
9821s	poor there's so much pressure on their
9823s	shoulders and it is not fair in the
9825s	slightest that Persona of all players
9828s	has to be the one to show up but it's
9831s	just the reality of the situation was
9834s	not a good performance on surasa
9836s	whatsoever and that's where we saw those
9839s	weaknesses those chinks in the armor
9841s	bble were driving their spear into to
9844s	take down the Beast and now is on to the
9847s	final boss the Fable manag to take inaki
9850s	out for one last time it will be the end
9853s	their run within the calling all Hero
9856s	circuits so when we go to push here
9859s	because it's coloso I don't actually
9861s	expect too many compositional switch UPS
9863s	I'm expecting ratas out on either side
9865s	again I don't think there's any reason
9867s	to change up anything on either side you
9869s	still want to play in a way if you're an
9871s	araki that can set Persona up for
9873s	Success like we keep on saying if you're
9875s	Fable if it ain't broke don't fix it
9877s	you're still firmly in control this map
9879s	more so than ESP pansa I think plays
9881s	into Aver's hero pool so yeah I would be
9885s	shocked if Fable came out with any sort
9886s	of surprises unless maybe again Avery's
9889s	like ah I can bust out all reliable
9891s	Sigma and again you can kind of get away
9892s	with that here if you're if if you
9894s	really want to it doesn't look like
9896s	that's the route that they want to go it
9898s	is going to be that ratra duel again so
9901s	expect a slow methodical fight in that
9903s	long hallway that opens up the map where
9905s	the bot's kind of sitting and then
9907s	expect the sojourns or sojan on one side
9910s	and Hanzo on the other maybe unless
9912s	Persona goes for a swap there we go
9913s	that's more like it to try Leverage The
9916s	High Ground on either side once we start
9918s	to push past the archways out into the
9921s	open outside of that
9923s	hallway oh boy you you said slow and
9926s	long oh you guys have not seen colos yet
9929s	my goodness these fights will literally
9931s	go on for 2 minutes straight and the
9933s	robot will never leave the Coliseum
9936s	within the entire map it is possible and
9938s	the way that these two these two teams
9940s	are currently stationed facing each
9942s	other I'm not going to be shock if we
9944s	see an outcome similar to that about the
9947s	control of The High Ground these flanks
9948s	will the and Arya versus maab and
9951s	Persona with Difference Maker can they
9954s	tell that no neither are playing off on
9956s	an angle within the Coliseum inaki ex
9959s	and Goku are slightly more hesitant to
9962s	peek their heads out from around the
9964s	corner and these are why these fights
9966s	just go on forever it's already nearly
9968s	been a minute CD neither team wants to
9970s	even touch the bot right now for a brief
9972s	Split Second and araki did but yeah but
9974s	you know as soon as you to walk out to
9976s	get control of the bot you're suspecting
9977s	yourself to a potential May wall and
9979s	that's the last thing that you need now
9980s	the are going on a flank to try and
9982s	leverage it Arya is going to take the
9984s	fight right to persona's front door maab
9986s	is going to fall but you've already lost
9988s	fiery that's not a terrible trade for
9991s	either team how do they leverage not
9994s	having the speed though especially if
9996s	you're in aaki at this point you would
9998s	be relying on maab like zo we go and you
10001s	don't have that anymore so now they're
10002s	stuck within this Coliseum getting a
10004s	little bit of push progress
10006s	in the robot both Lucio now back in the
10008s	fight and this is where things are going
10009s	to start to get interesting ultimate now
10012s	coming up online that's a wonderful May
10014s	wall from mini oh that's the tank C off
10016s	Chuck-E-Cheese looking for a way to
10018s	escape now Minn damage between that
10019s	Matrix is a terrible spot to be oh that
10022s	is one dead man and the blizzard is
10025s	nowhere to be found 1% away from it too
10028s	that was and you can even see where mini
10030s	was postured that Fable really wanted
10032s	that blizzard to try and drive this one
10033s	home but without that and with a May on
10035s	the other side kuna going to wall Avery
10037s	off Avery trying to hold on kuna is
10039s	going to throw in the blizzard and this
10040s	might be the end for Avery it is the end
10043s	for ravy is as cool as a frozen or Mao
10046s	looks you are a popsicle and you will be
10048s	punched CU apparently that's fun have to
10049s	try it sometime Fable though are not
10051s	giving up on the fight I mean in araki
10054s	they didn't respect arya's presence on
10056s	The High Ground and as a result they're
10058s	likely not going be able to leave the
10060s	Coliseum I there's an Arya again on this
10062s	part this is why this this map as a
10064s	whole is so
10065s	when you players like AR and Persona
10068s	just control these nobody else can get
10070s	to and you're not going anywhere and you
10074s	can already see Arya trying to play The
10075s	High Ground to not allow Persona to take
10078s	the same angle that she took when she
10079s	was on the other side this might be
10081s	enough to get Fable at least comparable
10084s	push percentage here as the bot's going
10085s	to get real close to the bar that
10087s	anaraki set but they've already got some
10089s	soldiers on the ground ready to try and
10091s	stall it out a wall comes out to try and
10093s	section off Avery with the
10096s	oh yeah that is going to be the ratra
10099s	Frozen on up immortality field and sber
10101s	together not even close to enough
10104s	chuckecheese to stand on his feet Arya
10106s	now on clean up Duty bringing out the
10109s	broom wiping the blood clean from the
10112s	Coliseum and araki ex1 Goku turning this
10114s	bot around I mean that defies a little
10116s	bit more time off of the push a lead
10119s	small as this one though will soon be
10121s	flipped I it is going to get Fable the
10123s	lead but the fact that the bot went away
10125s	and got taken that far back means once
10127s	again anaraki have an opportunity to set
10128s	up on this High ground and now Persona
10130s	is going to be in the driver seat as
10132s	Arya can't hold it Avery's even up here
10134s	to try and deny it and keep the bot
10136s	progress going Fable they still don't
10138s	get the lead before Chuck-E-Cheese goes
10139s	in for the touch and araki they're
10141s	holding on to this lead by the Skin of
10143s	Their Teeth it's now gone I mean they
10145s	don't have their tank it it is going to
10147s	be gone as simple as that Puda though
10150s	pulling out some heroic play without
10152s	pther I mean Avery you got to pull out
10154s	all stops getting that in your favor
10156s	even a small lead is a lead within
10159s	itself and H wonderful plays from Avery
10162s	knowing their own limits and now this is
10165s	where things get serious and araki have
10167s	to try and come back here quick and not
10169s	let Fable get the checkpoint cuz on
10171s	coloso the checkpoint works twofold it
10173s	doesn't just give your team the forward
10175s	spawns but it also completely locks the
10177s	other team out from leveraging this high
10179s	ground that is so so important on this
10181s	map you can see right now they're going
10182s	to go in for the contest not let Fable
10184s	get it and
10185s	going think better it they don't want to
10187s	take the fight where naraki have that
10188s	Advantage they want to take it back to
10190s	the more neutral ground here yeah it's
10192s	very very smart play and maybe even Bait
10195s	and araki all the way in so where you
10197s	can see Panther is already on The High
10198s	Ground you got to believe that Arya
10200s	might be looking to try and take
10202s	position up there as well once the bot
10203s	gets a little bit
10204s	further it is a risk that Fable are
10207s	taking but it's a calculated one at that
10211s	so you do like to see it the neutral
10213s	ground is spot to fights and uh not not
10216s	if your soier is losing a head and is
10218s	currently rolling around in the streets
10220s	of Alo now inaki X10 Goku need to get
10223s	more eliminations off of this
10224s	Chuck-E-Cheese pulling out the ultimate
10227s	as well you got to stop it you need to
10229s	win this fight quickly and you need to
10230s	do so cleanly able are going to do their
10232s	best to prevent that from happening with
10234s	a couple tools of their own jumped out
10236s	onto the battlefield usually the later
10238s	ultimate the later sound barrier in this
10240s	case is the one that shall win and
10242s	inarizaki are taking that down to a te
10246s	but it is incredibly costly and I think
10248s	crucially mini tried to use the the
10250s	blizzard to stop Chuck-E-Cheese from
10252s	using the annihilation but they weren't
10253s	able to pin them down so Chuck-E-Cheese
10255s	was able to sneak away even get the
10257s	immortality field and some healing to
10259s	stay alive in the fight now in arzak X
10261s	and Goku have the lead and it's a now
10263s	the onus is on Fable to go in for that
10265s	same contest and deny the checkpoint but
10267s	it's looking to be kind of inevitable
10269s	here can Fable stop it it's very close
10272s	but looks like they do have it in
10273s	contest right now but there's no wiggle
10275s	room oh Persona that that's a massive
10278s	pick the overclock was what Fable needed
10280s	to get back into this objective with
10282s	that going down robot hits that next
10285s	Point CB oh no Fable are in a very
10289s	difficult spot right now col it with the
10291s	least forgiving out of all the
10292s	unforgiving push maps that there can
10294s	possibly be able winning this fight it
10297s	has to happen there is no question if
10299s	this doesn't go through inaki ex Goku
10301s	might as well be close to walking away
10303s	with this series on the own but but it's
10306s	mission accomplished though they get the
10307s	checkpoint Fable can't they can't defend
10309s	from that High Ground any longer and
10311s	they also bleed off a bunch of the clock
10313s	so we're down to three and a half
10314s	minutes where Fable have to try and get
10316s	the checkpoint of their own and that
10318s	additional progress they're going to
10319s	have to worry about the butt scratch as
10321s	well they're going to have to worry
10322s	about kuna's blizzard and they always
10324s	have to worry about Persona where are
10326s	they lurking what angle do they have are
10328s	they going to just pop another rail shot
10330s	through Love's ant Matrix like they've
10332s	been doing over and over again where's
10334s	Arya going to be play cuz she can't risk
10336s	getting caught out like she did before
10338s	all of these intricate pieces need to be
10341s	pulled together make one beautiful
10344s	picture le for fa right now
10347s	AR shot there's the overclock to pull it
10349s	on out then mortality Fi not keeping you
10351s	alive Persona you still Peak the angle
10353s	you two loved oh Fable and Arya the
10357s	positioning the question that we already
10359s	knew the answer to Arya knows where she
10361s	has to be at any given moment this is
10364s	the cons to fight one for spawns
10367s	canceled Fable have a shot to turn it
10369s	back yeah but they're still going to
10371s	have to get the bot over to the
10372s	barricade get it pushed they might not
10374s	even get the checkpoint here before
10375s	naraki have a chance to touch and
10377s	they're going to do a whole lot of
10378s	Hands-On play here with all these SS
10380s	they're coming up with Coulda used the
10381s	blizzard in the last fight that's the
10382s	only tool they needed they got a full
10384s	tool box that just about everything else
10386s	they could possibly want mini and sorry
10388s	ARA trying to lock it down Arya with a
10391s	huge pick off there this is the go
10392s	button for fable they can take the lead
10393s	here oh they're going to take the lead
10396s	there is no question about it losing a
10398s	fight this close to the objective I mean
10401s	that's going to be Point CA after you
10403s	get through this watch track page you
10404s	can see how close that golden check mark
10406s	is C there's less than 2 minutes
10408s	remaining right
10410s	now AR finds the angle there mini with
10412s	the blizzard just to freeze up
10413s	Chuck-E-Cheese and you take that cuz
10415s	that's going to give you the lead that's
10416s	going to do the same deny and araki from
10418s	ever being able to use this High Ground
10420s	again and now we're just in this root
10422s	force fight that's going to drag out
10424s	that's going to take a long time Fable
10426s	they only have a sound barrier but
10428s	because they have the lead and because
10429s	the clock is now on their side they
10431s	don't care about no ult Advantage they
10433s	just want to bleed and araki dry and
10436s	they're looking to do I mean that's
10438s	going to be the lead cap anything from
10440s	here is just extra sauce you're throwing
10442s	on top of it but now being on the move
10445s	you got to reset Fable can take another
10447s	fight at Mid this is actually be at
10449s	least two full engagement in razaki need
10452s	to take in order to grab the lead
10455s	a late pick off there on to loved might
10457s	be kind of big macabra is going to have
10458s	to go all the way back to go for the
10459s	taxi there which is going to make it so
10461s	Persona can't really get set up on any
10463s	sort of flank angles but that said that
10466s	fight was still won with only lov's ant
10468s	Matrix and our isaki still have four big
10470s	ultimates and Fable are still playing
10472s	catchup they can go ahead and get
10474s	themselves back on the bot to stop you
10476s	know Fable or sorry stop anaraki from
10478s	making too much progress from getting
10479s	too close to home where this fight's
10481s	going to happen so it's going to happen
10483s	back here in the center and that's good
10484s	good for fable because if they make this
10486s	take a long time they still have another
10488s	fight even if they lose to try and get
10490s	it back in their favor and this is a
10491s	fight you are okay with losing but who
10493s	cares about losing if you could just win
10495s	in the neutral ARA popping out the
10497s	overclock she's just on a whole new
10499s	level when it comes to this map she got
10501s	leveled they she did get leveled that is
10503s	true but inaki this is the key Point
10505s	Fable while they're not up in numbers
10508s	right now they're actually pretty darn
10509s	even they're about to be up with
10511s	chuck-e-cheese's health bar scrambling
10513s	barely taking above it loves is doing
10515s	their darnest to keep them alive in vain
10518s	this is the overtime clock hitting Fable
10520s	they can taste the victory right around
10523s	the corner the blizzard thrown out onto
10525s	the objective it catches Avery off yet
10527s	there's not nearly enough damage to take
10529s	them out of the battle Fable oh they are
10533s	still in this series and it is about to
10536s	come to a quick close ex they can throw
10539s	everything that they want to at this
10542s	objective but at the end of the day the
10543s	dragon has been slain fa's chapter may
10546s	have ended for this game but the story
10548s	is not over yet well their story isn't
10552s	over but one team story certainly is the
10554s	team we pegged as a dark horse to make a
10556s	Deep Run has been sent off to the glue
10558s	factory courtesy of Our Heroes Fable and
10561s	our biggest hero has to be Arya all of
10565s	these plays You know despite getting
10566s	caught out was able like desite getting
10568s	caught out sometimes was constantly
10570s	making big plays like this leveraging
10572s	The High Ground keeping Persona in check
10574s	and doing all she could to give her team
10576s	the victory here Fable they take it it
10579s	was close it was Scrappy and it actually
10581s	almost went the way of inarizaki towards
10584s	the end there kuna had a blizzard that
10586s	got yeeted in from like 50 yards away I
10589s	saw the icon at the top I was like a
10591s	blizzard came through but I don't see it
10593s	and like three or 4 seconds later oh
10594s	there it is it hit the ground but Fable
10597s	they just vacate the point they don't
10598s	have to play into that blizzard and you
10600s	know they just go for the kills they
10602s	smell blood they know they have the
10603s	advantage they just just press it they
10605s	go who's our first victim going to be
10606s	kuna you threatened our Throne it's you
10609s	buddy they go in for kuna they go in for
10611s	loved and they just systematically
10615s	dismantle inarizaki I'll never not be
10618s	impressed by the macro play we see from
10622s	Babel right now I mean their ultimate
10624s	management their positioning is
10627s	incredible their ability to kite and
10629s	make decisions in a split second keeps
10631s	them in games and in fact wins them out
10634s	and that what we saw today inner razaki
10636s	are used to rushing in and have forcing
10638s	their opponents to react while Fable
10640s	they're okay with reacting because they
10642s	have these amazing coms to come on
10645s	through through a plethora of
10646s	experienced players that know what to
10649s	expect out of this meta it's not a brand
10651s	new thing that you're playing against at
10653s	all and of course Arya pulling out
10656s	everything she was just on a whole new
10658s	level like I've never seen her play just
10661s	as good as she did on this map of coloso
10664s	and same thing back on Sasa I want to
10667s	see more of that Fable can make a run
10669s	with Arya being as good as she is I'm
10673s	glad we get to see the stats here cuz I
10674s	was just going to bring them up Persona
10676s	10 and seven versus Arya 23 and five it
10681s	was Arya running away with it in this
10683s	sojourn head-to-head that we've been
10684s	keeping track of all series long and
10686s	it's when it counts that she steps up
10689s	and takes control of the series take
10691s	nothing away from Persona I think if
10692s	anaraki had won the series person would
10694s	absolutely be our MVP without a doubt
10697s	without a doubt in anybody's minds but
10699s	even looking past Arya on the side of
10701s	fable look at mini look at Avery look at
10703s	everybody coming together as a
10705s	collective on this map to be firmly in
10708s	control of it throughout the entirety of
10709s	it to play it smart to play it right and
10712s	to play it to set Avery up or sorry well
10714s	yeah Avery as well but Avery and Arya up
10716s	for success and Arya knocked it out of
10719s	the park absolutely I mean Fable have
10722s	been one of the teams that have never
10724s	quite been at the top but they've been
10728s	in like this upper middle level that
10729s	have like quietly been climbing their
10732s	way up the ranks and now they find
10734s	themselves here in the championship
10736s	participating in every event as well
10738s	they're wellknown faces within the
10740s	calling all heroes tournament and with
10742s	them being here their run isn't over yet
10746s	and well it was great to have inaki
10748s	around for the short time that they did
10750s	we do have to bid them farewell but
10753s	lucky for us we still have more to break
10755s	down after this game we'll have aryaa
10757s	and Ash returning to talk about this
10760s	first elimination match that we had so
10762s	don't go anywhere you got some breakdown
10771s	[Music]
10783s	right
10791s	[Music]
10805s	[Music]
10822s	[Music]
10901s	[Music]
10911s	[Music]
10925s	[Music]
10933s	la
10935s	[Music]
10940s	[Applause]
10942s	[Music]
10958s	and araki popped off on that first match
10961s	up that we saw between them and Fable
10963s	but but Fable they started to ramp up as
10966s	the series went on Welcome Back
10969s	everybody again we are down into the
10970s	lower bracket so unfortunately we do
10972s	have to say goodbye to inarizaki ten
10974s	Goku for now uh within the championship
10977s	series at the very least but I mean
10980s	arietta it was still quite the Banger of
10983s	an entire series at that yeah absolutely
10986s	um Fable definitely started right out
10988s	the gate very explosively on Antarctic
10991s	Peninsula um but inarizaki EX U was able
10994s	to adapt pretty quickly um catching them
10997s	out on a couple of Team fights and
10999s	making some way for hero plays from
11001s	Persona in particular um it was
11003s	definitely a very exciting match to
11005s	watch it really was and CB I mean you
11007s	were right there in the frey of things
11009s	right I we got to get your thoughts on
11012s	like the series overall when we're
11014s	considering that um and not just that
11017s	but also Persona versus Arya like the
11020s	soier head-to-head was wild throughout
11023s	this entire match up yeah Persona versus
11025s	Arya feels like it was the head-to-head
11027s	that dictated the pace of the entire
11029s	series and right out of the gates like
11031s	we were saying it was Persona over and
11033s	over again that was getting the better
11034s	of Arya but towards the end of the
11037s	series especially on surasa and then
11039s	again on coloso we started to see it tip
11041s	more in arya's favor and that was all
11044s	that Fable really needed to try and make
11045s	up the difference that you know that
11047s	little bit that they needed to try and
11049s	take control but fell just a little bit
11051s	short of Arya was the differenc maker
11053s	for this team no doubt and the thing is
11056s	is while Arya was the Difference Maker
11058s	for this team again we're doing a
11060s	head-to-head for a reason right here
11062s	arietta Persona was lighting things up
11065s	especially in those first three maps
11067s	that we saw but I think what Fable ended
11070s	up doing really well was really looking
11072s	to isolate Persona in a lot of these
11074s	fights early on to deny that kind of
11076s	Firepower yeah absolutely um Arya was
11080s	definitely denying Persona certain
11082s	angles that uh persona wanted to take um
11085s	and also just the um you know planning
11088s	on the side of fable was just a lot
11090s	tighter allowing them um a lot more
11092s	space and opportunities to pick apart in
11095s	araki X10 Goku um so they couldn't pull
11098s	out the hero plays that they wanted
11100s	to yeah definitely difficult in that
11103s	kind of sense but again we also have to
11104s	keep in mind CB that Fable is the squad
11106s	that's that's been together longer
11109s	compared to but like between the two of
11110s	them of course and so they had that
11113s	longer standing history in that kind of
11115s	sense meanwhile in aizaki Tang Goku I
11117s	think when you look at the way that they
11119s	were trying to play it was relying a bit
11122s	more on some of that individualistic
11124s	Firepower and just not having that same
11126s	kind of synergy level because they
11127s	haven't had that same amount of time
11130s	yeah and when you get kind of pushed
11131s	into that position where you don't have
11132s	the same Synergy to rely on and you're
11134s	relying on hero plays from the likes of
11136s	persona that's something that like you
11137s	guys said is exploitable you just don't
11139s	let Persona do things like what you're
11141s	seeing them do right now on your screen
11143s	is as long as this doesn't happen you're
11146s	probably just going to be fine and you
11148s	know Fable like you mentioned they've
11149s	been together a lot longer they have a
11151s	lot more Synergy as a unit and the
11154s	narrative I've kind of burdened them
11156s	with has been that Avery is the most
11157s	underrated tank player they always feel
11159s	like they want to win more than anybody
11161s	else in the lobby and I want to
11162s	highlight one thing I feel like changed
11164s	in this series everyone felt like they
11166s	wanted to win just as bad as Avery did
11168s	this time
11169s	around I mean you have to have some fire
11172s	lit underneath you when you are in that
11175s	lower bracket when you're at risk of
11177s	elimination consistently to make it all
11180s	the way there but looking at the bigger
11181s	picture here as well arietta we have to
11184s	consider the way that Fable we're
11186s	actually looking to set each other up in
11188s	a lot of these macro plays yeah you
11190s	could absolutely see um just the
11193s	cohesion um and the planning from Fable
11196s	especially on Sasa where Ari was able to
11200s	get several picks through Panthers
11202s	windows and it was just such a clean
11204s	setup that tells me that they're
11206s	absolutely communicating the way they
11208s	need to um to pull off those uh plays
11210s	early
11211s	on yeah really stunning the way that
11213s	they're able to be cohesive in that kind
11215s	of sense for sure here CB and I think
11218s	that is at the end of the day the
11220s	biggest Difference Maker was just that
11223s	ability to coordinate on the Fly and
11226s	that's what's going to set your sojan up
11227s	for Success like you saw those pop off
11229s	plays from Arya that's kind of the
11230s	Difference Maker there and potentially
11232s	why we didn't see Persona able to get
11234s	set up again because it's like yeah
11236s	persona's being pressured out but it's
11238s	also the Synergy of fable is allowing
11241s	Arya more opportunities more doors that
11243s	she can walk through and just make
11245s	herself at
11246s	home that's the thing the number one
11249s	player that you're going to be looking
11250s	towards as far as being able to even
11252s	give the backline the opportunity to
11253s	make those plays has got to be the tank
11255s	player so we've got Avery on the line
11257s	for a little interview here so we're
11259s	going to go over and say hello but now
11263s	Avery hello how are you doing
11265s	congratulations on your win here in the
11267s	lower
11272s	bracket oh I I can actually hear no
11275s	you're good can you hear now I was like
11276s	is that me yeah I can hear you now how
11278s	are you doing good good very happy to
11281s	win congratulations I mean okay I'm
11284s	gonna actually start off with a pretty
11286s	intense question here from CB actually
11289s	so she was wondering how badly do you
11291s	want to prove yourself because we saw
11293s	the way that fa was able to pull things
11295s	together towards the
11297s	end uh I guess simply just very badly I
11300s	I want to win I want to prove myself I
11302s	want to bring my my teammates up and um
11306s	yeah I don't I very badly want to prove
11308s	myself we can definitely see it in the
11310s	server it's paying off in that kind of
11312s	sense I'm actually curious are you the
11315s	head caller for fable right now or um is
11320s	there I just tell me a little bit about
11322s	like the structure within like your
11324s	calling of course OverWatch is very
11325s	fluid in that kind of sense but there
11327s	tends to be a main
11328s	voice yeah we don't really have like a a
11331s	main caller because especially in this
11332s	meta it's so everyone's trying to get
11335s	their own value and so um we all try to
11338s	call what we need uh especially like
11341s	Arya I think Arya stepped it up a ton in
11343s	the calling Department because it's so
11344s	much of this meta is what does Arya need
11347s	to do to or need from the team to
11349s	succeed and she's just been doing great
11351s	with that so it's it's kind of a
11353s	everyone thing we all plan our own SS
11355s	and whatnot but uh definitely shout out
11357s	to Arya she's stepped it up a lot no
11359s	that's awesome I feel like I guess out
11362s	of curiosity this comes a little bit
11363s	from aretta actually from the desk uh
11366s	the you're mentioning now the alt usage
11369s	and what not was that a lot of Arya
11371s	especially in this past series calling
11373s	for like those windows to be used and
11375s	everything like that because we saw a
11376s	lot of synergy as far as the way that
11378s	you guys were using those ultimates to
11380s	set up for really big plays within
11382s	fights to turn the tide
11385s	uh yeah I think it's something we've
11387s	just drilled a lot like if we want a
11389s	window we wait for Arya to have a rail
11391s	gun and because that's just a one shot
11392s	through the window so uh yeah it's
11396s	that's kind of a second nature at this
11397s	point we' we've practiced it a lot and
11400s	that's just how we like to use our
11401s	window
11403s	so love to be able to hear that just
11405s	like the fact that it just becomes
11407s	vessel memory almost in that kind of way
11410s	and whatnot and I'm also curious like
11413s	who are you looking forward to playing
11415s	right now I know that there's a lot of
11417s	pressure being in the lower bracket
11420s	having elimination on the line now that
11422s	there are no Second
11424s	Chances yeah uh I don't know exactly who
11427s	we're going to play tomorrow I don't
11428s	know like what match up we're depending
11429s	on but uh we just want to make it
11431s	through and we want to play VT blue
11432s	again because we we always I think we've
11435s	beat them once and it wasn't in playoffs
11437s	but we we always like lose but it feels
11439s	like we've always been making it closer
11441s	and closer as we get on so we want for
11443s	the final Tournament of the year we want
11444s	to fa face them and we want to beat them
11447s	the fingers crossed because they're
11448s	actually the next matchup that's coming
11450s	up after this I think they're they're
11452s	down the lower bracket right now they're
11453s	going to be heading up against kenoi
11455s	coming up next so we'll have to see who
11457s	end up having to face up against
11459s	depending on the winner of that series
11461s	but I'm also curious about how things
11465s	worked on your end there for fable we
11468s	saw in that first map in araki they
11470s	started off really hot very aggressive
11472s	over on Antarctic but you guys were able
11475s	to kind of just immediately kind of flip
11478s	that switch into the following series
11480s	sure there were some tighter Maps but it
11482s	felt like you never really slowed down
11486s	there as a team and were just able to
11488s	continue pushing
11490s	forward uh we we I think maybe there
11492s	were some nerves in the first map um you
11496s	you don't because we won the first round
11498s	and then um it feels like we're we
11501s	struggle a bit on that second round uh
11503s	the big open one and so maybe that that
11505s	got we got in our heads a little bit but
11507s	we do know we know how to play against
11508s	these fast teams and that's a that's a
11510s	big shout out to SNR who's been coaching
11512s	us um as much as he can we he really
11516s	like tries to drill it um because we
11518s	started off you know a couple weeks ago
11520s	we were losing like every map in scrims
11522s	and just gradually getting better over
11524s	time so we know how to deal with those
11526s	fast comps we just kind of had to
11527s	remember we got to play our game we
11528s	gotta you know lock in and so we I think
11532s	uh after that first map we we we're very
11535s	confident and we knew how to play the
11536s	match up that's awesome I mean kudos to
11539s	you guys to be able to like just shake
11540s	that off in that kind of regard heading
11542s	into the remainder of this series but
11544s	congratulations again on this win here
11546s	in the lower bracket and wishing you a
11548s	nice rest for the remainder of tonight
11551s	as you guys head into Saturday's games
11554s	but before we go do you have any shout
11555s	outs or thank you that you want to say
11557s	on stream before I head
11558s	off I guess just my whole team they're
11561s	all uh they work super hard and they're
11564s	all super talented and underrated I
11566s	think um we were all I think Super
11569s	motivated to win this game especially
11571s	because we saw people predicting us not
11573s	to um and so we were just my whole team
11576s	they really stepped it up today and um
11579s	they deserve to be on people's
11581s	Radars that's such a sweet thank you um
11584s	thank you so much for taking the time
11585s	Avery for doing this interview with me
11588s	and wishing you the best of luck heading
11589s	into tomorrow to you and Fable yeah
11592s	thank you so much
11595s	oh what a lovely little interview always
11597s	love being able to chat with the players
11599s	and seeing where their heads are at as
11601s	we continue on with this weekend long
11603s	series but we do have to head to a quick
11607s	little break but we'll be back with more
11609s	OverWatch in just a
11620s	[Music]

11919s	it's time for our last matchup of the
11921s	day here on the over watch calling all
11923s	heroes Challenger Series Championships
11926s	we're heading back into round one of the
11929s	lower bracket just flipping over to the
11931s	other side let's see how we ended up
11933s	getting here throughout today because we
11935s	started things off with that upper
11938s	border finals and then heading into that
11940s	lower bracket we just saw Fable take it
11942s	three to one versus inarizaki tangoku
11945s	which unfortunately we have to say
11946s	goodbye to them but now we get to
11949s	revisit tiny Vancouver Titans blue who
11952s	saw earlier today up against the fan
11955s	favorite in kenoi and not this isn't the
11957s	first time that these two teams have met
11960s	this is a complete runback of the grand
11962s	finals in lcq now if you have been
11966s	paying attention to anything that
11967s	happened during the lcq H and you're a
11969s	little bit sick of our mirror matchup
11971s	boy do I have a treat for you this match
11974s	is going to be something special that we
11976s	haven't seen all day today and it might
11979s	just be the thing that the Vancouver
11980s	Titans need to get themselves back on
11982s	Pace
11984s	that's the thing though it's you're
11986s	talking about this being the rematch
11988s	last time it was that three and0 on the
11991s	side of kenoi winning that one out so CB
11995s	when we're looking over at this VT blue
11997s	Rosser do they have it in them to come
12000s	back mentally in that kind of regard I
12004s	wish I had an answer for you on that one
12006s	for their sake because I've spent a lot
12007s	of time with this team studying them
12009s	their every move I you know I'm good
12011s	friends with a lot of these players and
12013s	I very much so love this team and I'm
12015s	rooting for them to succeed but their
12017s	mental has at times been tested it was
12019s	tested pretty much every tournament
12021s	leading up to lcq they seemed like the
12024s	favorites to win lcq but then kunoichi
12026s	comes out of nowhere and ends up taking
12028s	the top spot and now VT blue and
12031s	kunoichi are meeting again in the losers
12033s	rounds here it's going to be a test of
12036s	their mental for sure at the very least
12039s	though I know it was that difficult
12041s	match that we saw coming out for VT blue
12044s	earlier today up in that upper
12046s	quarterfinal where they did end up
12048s	losing 0 and three up against Timeless
12050s	Celestial but they've had a little bit
12052s	of a break at the very least to look to
12054s	refresh themselves being that second
12056s	matchup here down into the lower bracket
12059s	we also have to say hello to the team
12061s	that they're facing up against and Tiny
12064s	this team uh especially a couple
12069s	okay literally just
12075s	she want she wants that Corgi trophy
12077s	what was that in sync sigh from
12080s	you we're just that on we're we're that
12083s	in syn t tell we're on the same page
12086s	well well I mean kunoichi is also going
12088s	to be quite in sync despite their quite
12090s	discordant comps I believe uh Mike Tyson
12092s	once said Everybody's Got A Plan until
12095s	you get punched in the mouth and I mean
12098s	they came through with some punches in
12099s	lcq that no one saw coming and all of
12102s	the best laid plans went belly up but
12104s	the question for me when it comes to
12106s	this team is now that we've had some
12109s	time now that everybody saw the ball
12111s	Pharmacy comp that we saw them do in lcq
12114s	have they been planned for once again
12117s	and how many more punches does this team
12119s	have in
12120s	them hey I mean it's a big question
12123s	right but when you've also got es on
12125s	that Lucio option helping with that
12128s	movement in a comp like the one that you
12130s	just mentioned that can be tough to deal
12133s	with especially when you're just trying
12134s	to focus on playing your own game but
12137s	we're heading over to Le Jang Tower
12138s	first up tiny tell me a little bit about
12141s	your expectations now that's going to be
12144s	fun leang da the first time we're not on
12146s	Antarctic Peninsula and I can tell you
12148s	exactly why kunoichi they like to get a
12151s	little bit silly with it and this is
12152s	where things get fun they pull out a far
12155s	an Eko a mercy they play to skiest
12157s	strengths as one of the best Mercy
12159s	players that you will see in the world
12161s	in terms of of mechanics they're playing
12163s	to her strengths they get a ball they
12165s	get a tracer they get this Lucio they're
12167s	playing these highly mobile heroes that
12169s	are difficult to pin down and just that
12172s	element of surprise the disruption
12174s	factor that they have throws even the
12176s	best most coordinated teams off guard
12178s	and Le Jang Tower especially on Gardens
12180s	and Night Market is just the place to
12182s	pull it out well we're gonna have to see
12184s	if kenoi can pull out the win while
12187s	having fun or VT can put a stop to their
12190s	crazy me movements as we Le J Tower you
12193s	two take it
12195s	away oh man you you got to go got to
12197s	love some good old OverWatch Shenanigans
12199s	seeing you and I have been in this exact
12201s	same position three times in the lcq all
12205s	three matches we casted that day
12207s	involved kunichi taking this map on do
12212s	they pull it out like yeah tell me you
12213s	already know what I'm expecting I I want
12215s	to hear it from you too oh they're
12216s	absolutely going to pull it out on
12218s	probably all three of the maps here and
12220s	by the way this was Vancouver Titans
12221s	blue M pick I don't know if like you saw
12223s	that on the graphic there yeah blue
12227s	chose this they chose their fate here I
12230s	think to make a statement I hope to make
12232s	a statement to just take kunoichi take
12235s	everything they love the map that they
12236s	hold so dearly in that they've been so
12238s	dominant on and that dominance comes
12241s	with good reason you look at their
12242s	roster and you look at this backline of
12244s	es skiest and you're think okay a Lucio
12247s	player and a mercy one trick you you
12250s	might think that like skiti on the Mercy
12252s	is a limitation because you have to play
12253s	around that Mercy but in lcq it wasn't a
12257s	limitation it was a vehicle that allowed
12259s	her DPS players to shine so keep a close
12262s	eye on either barcode or essel whoever's
12264s	got the blue beam attached to them
12266s	because they are going to make some
12268s	noise and especially here on control
12270s	center to kick it off it's going to be
12272s	essel that's going to have skiest
12274s	Services well for the time being but I
12277s	do want to flip the tables a little bit
12279s	and look at what Vancouver Titans blue
12281s	are doing there is a substitute number
12283s	one phone will be joining the lineup in
12285s	place of McMan to start us out maybe
12288s	just a teleporter in the symmetra could
12289s	be sticking on it it is Leong Tower
12291s	after all but having what on the ash I
12294s	mean btb they have plenty of experience
12297s	playing kunichi and clearly they know
12299s	what's coming but do they know ball is
12302s	the question cuz eay is coming out on
12304s	the wrecking ball and is actually going
12306s	to play for this little Mega health pack
12307s	play the coast here and lock VT blue
12309s	down but I like the composition that VT
12311s	blue playing I think it does a good job
12313s	of keeping a lot of the individual
12315s	players on kunoichi in check the
12317s	question though is are they going to be
12319s	able to secure those kills deny the
12321s	reses and hold space there's a lot of
12324s	things that you just put on that to-do
12326s	list and with how Vancouver Titans blue
12328s	have played today alone I generally
12330s	question whether that can be
12331s	accomplished and you need to start by
12333s	pinning players down the dynamite kill
12334s	on SK and E following up is a great
12337s	start granted control center here CB is
12340s	going to be the weakest point for
12342s	kunichi especially if you're going to
12344s	lose SK right away EV is actually going
12346s	to swap over off of the juner queen so
12348s	right away kunichi Shenanigans are done
12350s	they're going to swap over they're
12351s	keeping the Farmery but they're not
12353s	getting a whole lot of value out of the
12355s	wrecking ball actually no they're not
12356s	even going to keep the Farmery they're
12357s	swapping over to a rush composition with
12359s	a junker queen and a kittyo and hey the
12363s	kittyo already paying off phone gets
12365s	caught out phone got caught out plus
12367s	some didn't expect SK giving her a
12369s	smooch on the head nope not a good way
12372s	to say good night Vancouver Titans blue
12374s	now are backing off the point off just
12376s	one elimination CB this isn't exactly a
12378s	new look for kunichi either yeah they
12381s	are they are thriving in the chaos like
12384s	we've seen inklings of this in the past
12386s	during lcq we're not seeing a whole lot
12387s	of barard right now cat making damn sure
12390s	of that VT blue got to press his
12391s	advantage while they have it and they
12393s	got to do so very quickly at Matrix a
12396s	nice tool to pull out push that you can
12398s	Eevee off the point this objective is
12400s	going over to you but but the Eevee
12402s	there a good old robot Butler should be
12404s	the thing to save the day or at least
12406s	replace cat for the time being I mean
12409s	terrible to lose your tank in a match
12411s	such as that and now what is getting a
12413s	little bit of that attention barode is
12414s	now returned to the fight any advantage
12416s	that btb had is completely lost they
12419s	waited too long CV we're getting a
12421s	little bit of a glimpse back into what
12422s	we saw in that quarterfinals round and
12425s	the thing is like what is on the Ash and
12428s	that was specifically to try and stop
12429s	elel on the far but now the kunoichi is
12431s	not playing that what value does the ash
12433s	really give you here not a whole lot
12435s	there's no real high ground on this that
12437s	you can leverage with a hit scan like
12439s	that you're going to have C being
12440s	sectioned off by elel phone has to try
12442s	and match it but are they going to be
12443s	able to and that's El going down and
12446s	that's a rampage literally to get back
12447s	to the team it just happens to hit on a
12449s	cat a bonus as a matter of fact Kun hgl
12452s	you commit one ultimate lose the fight
12455s	that's not the end of the world for them
12457s	they're going to get themselves up to
12458s	about 75ish percentage especially with
12461s	how long e is able to stay alive here
12464s	Vancouver Titans blue they made a couple
12466s	of swaps but how long is this really
12468s	going to sustain I mean as long as
12470s	you're able to lock down the choke you
12471s	can keep this up I mean what was
12473s	definitely going to struggle the longer
12474s	that VT blue were forced to play through
12476s	that choke but once they break past that
12478s	and kunoichi have to play on the point
12480s	suddenly it opens up the angles get a
12481s	little bit more FL
12483s	and needs to watch those angles because
12485s	they can bite just as hard as she
12489s	can she's not a support she is a DP yes
12492s	and down goes the S barer Nostalgia it
12494s	will never hit the ground the sweet song
12496s	Vancouver Titans needed to escort
12498s	themselves to viory is no longer view
12501s	button is hit SK once again in the kill
12504s	feed oh man it's just such a treat to
12507s	see her on the Lucio on the KIRO no
12509s	matter what she has such an impact on
12511s	this roster and Nostalgia definitely
12513s	looking back to a better time a byon era
12516s	where they still had that sound barrier
12517s	cuz El's going to have this blizzard and
12520s	as soon as VT blue walk through through
12521s	the choke point here you got to believe
12523s	it's going to come out it's already
12524s	being leveraged and it's split phone off
12526s	getting a little Frosty out here and
12528s	phone has no friend left to keep them
12531s	alive Luigi they're pushing their
12533s	advantage they know that they're close
12534s	SK is running a mark through the
12536s	backline the objective is contested and
12538s	it is by a lonely Nostalgia who wishes
12541s	that they had a friends to accompany
12543s	them kunoichi on the map that they are
12544s	not favorite at all they're taking it
12547s	away whether it's night market or garden
12549s	from here C I fear for vancou Titans
12552s	blue yeah this definitely puts VT blue
12555s	in a situation where now they have to
12557s	win not one but both of the the the sub
12561s	the sub points here on leang Tower that
12563s	favor the pharmacy composition from
12565s	kunichi but the question for me though
12566s	is are kunichi even going to bust that
12568s	out looks like the answer is yes of
12570s	course at least to start out with why
12572s	wouldn't they if you're going on Night
12574s	Market where you can just you know kind
12575s	of hover around the coast around the
12577s	point pepper in all of the Rockets
12579s	Through the Windows get big damage VC
12581s	blue though I think expecting that to
12583s	come out have gone back to their counter
12585s	composition they have to be a little bit
12587s	more clean with it though they can't go
12589s	axing sound barriers that are going to
12591s	come back to bite them later and they
12593s	definitely definitely need to keep what
12596s	safe what is going to be the one Anchor
12599s	Point that Vancouver Titans can rely on
12601s	and want Thor in the side of elel and
12605s	skti this battle it going to be
12607s	difficult to get difficult to get close
12610s	by playing this position I mean cat is
12612s	going to have a very difficult time
12614s	locking anybody on Kuni down if you're
12616s	doing chip damage here and there what
12619s	that is the biggest threat kichi cgl
12622s	right now and there's no need for them
12624s	to play necessarily within that
12625s	objective they know how split Vancover
12627s	Titans blue is right now and what going
12629s	down that is essentially the green light
12631s	means to go for elel just barraging his
12634s	Rockets down onto unsuspecting BT blue
12636s	players and this is exactly what we were
12639s	afraid of and and part of the problem
12641s	problem too though is that to even try
12643s	and get a shot onto eless what has to
12645s	try and play a really really wide angle
12647s	that VT blue have to set her up for so
12649s	that means they're playing far away from
12651s	the point looking on from afar while
12653s	kunoichi have all the control of it they
12655s	need they wait to actually capture it
12657s	which might be a little bit of a mistake
12658s	percentage wise but it's not one that
12660s	they're going to get punished for and
12661s	they're still going to be able to hold
12662s	this positioning be able to hold it for
12664s	now and like there's so many small
12666s	things that go into place for kunichi
12668s	that even losing SK here isn't the end
12671s	of the world she gets back so quickly
12674s	and you have all the stall time to be
12676s	able to push this objective to gain more
12678s	percentage the recall is out of phone so
12680s	they need to get the heck out of here
12682s	unless you want to go down first so btb
12684s	now they're finally on the objective
12686s	they made it there but they're yet to
12687s	actually win the battle and that is
12690s	going to be a major problem for them
12691s	pulse bomb out from Barco it grabs CLA
12694s	uhoh that's big big trouble now btb they
12697s	don't have their main support and they
12699s	lock down a few more players on the end
12701s	and SL barrage on the objective it grabs
12703s	one puts bone incredibly low still
12706s	trying to contest this one out as close
12708s	as btp got to the flip CB it's not going
12710s	to come it takes too long to try and pin
12713s	down any of these really slippery
12715s	players and even though they do take
12716s	down eay it's not enough especially when
12718s	you lose CLA and lose all of your
12720s	staying power so 62% and Counting I mean
12723s	VT blue it's going to be a long fight so
12726s	realistically they only have one more
12728s	they're going to start to build up to
12729s	some ultimate here but phone is dead
12731s	phone will get back quick she's on
12732s	Tracer so that's not a huge loss but it
12735s	is still time that you are quickly
12737s	running out of and if you lose Nostalgia
12739s	you might just run out completely oh
12741s	Nostalgia hanging on for dear life this
12744s	the one ultimate fight that btb are
12746s	going to get and they don't have a take
12747s	to take it CB it's just falling apart
12751s	utter disaster has struck the couver
12753s	Titans blue it's got to be a s barrier
12756s	to get yourself to the objective there
12757s	is no other way this is seemingly
12759s	possible SK is down again Bob sure
12761s	that'll do the trick Bob technically
12763s	isn't on the point actually that's not
12765s	counting it is phone that is capping the
12767s	objective but what hey your Bob still
12769s	did something that works out if you
12772s	could stop the res you kind of forgot
12773s	about that PSC the silent hero the
12776s	guardian angel the btb you can't ignore
12780s	the fight is never over on control this
12782s	is why you do not take K hgl to Leon
12785s	Tower you are putting yourselves at the
12787s	mercy of their speed their mobility and
12790s	the pure care you are subjected
12793s	to cats have nine lives but as long as
12796s	kest is in the backline of kunoichi
12798s	kunoichi have seemingly infinite lives
12800s	they forgot about the mercy they forgot
12802s	about the best Mercy in the game coming
12804s	through with the res onto elel who had
12806s	the barage and sends it home kunoichi
12809s	cgl take Liang Tower in very convincing
12813s	fashion and I have to ask myself why why
12817s	did we pick this map Vancouver Titans
12820s	blue we have had two other options where
12823s	you probably could have played you know
12825s	a similar composition but put elel at
12827s	more of a disadvantage and forced the
12829s	more grounded approach that we saw from
12831s	kunoichi on control center where you had
12833s	a little bit more back and forth but
12834s	nightm Market wasn't close and even if
12837s	VT blue had pulled out a miracle like
12839s	what's Bob almost did there for a split
12841s	second you still would have had to do it
12843s	again on Gardens for any other teams
12846s	that may be watching this map if you
12848s	face off against kunichi do not take
12851s	them to leog Tower by your own accord
12854s	you will lose oh my good I mean
12856s	Vancouver Titans blue I get it you want
12858s	to come out confident but it went wrong
12860s	literally from this moment as soon as
12862s	phone goes down right now kunoichi
12864s	swapped they're not on that main
12866s	composition you're used to seeing and it
12868s	just blew up in their face and there's
12871s	no sign of coming back granted that's
12873s	the nature of control point huichi they
12877s	go Zoom they have Lucio they got the
12879s	ball I mean the far the tra there's no
12881s	player that will get back like twice as
12883s	fast as anyone at Vancouver Titans blue
12886s	they take more fights they sustain the
12888s	current ones longer than anybody should
12890s	be able to do so and they win Maps off
12894s	the back of it and you could only hope
12895s	going to a more controlled style of
12898s	gameplay as you typically see in hybrid
12900s	Maps is the thing that btb can use to
12903s	get themselves back in the dri and and
12906s	like a lot of teams will look at this
12908s	comp that kunoichi is playing and
12909s	they'll say well we have to play a hit
12911s	scam that can keep the far in check and
12912s	that's what what does and it's a smart
12914s	pick to try and do so Ash is definitely
12917s	much better than sojourn at keeping a
12919s	far in check but the problem is first of
12921s	all ess's not really being kept in check
12925s	even if she is skti will be there with
12927s	the res skiest only died one time the
12929s	whole map by the way so that's another
12931s	little fun nugget for you there but
12933s	again even if you do manage to keep the
12936s	far in check the entire comp is chaotic
12938s	you still got to worry about SK with 14
12941s	kills to of her own back there you still
12942s	got to worry about the wrecking ball you
12944s	still got to worry about barcode and you
12946s	should be worried about barcode because
12948s	we've saw an lcq that she is she is a
12951s	threat she is somebody that we need to
12954s	be keeping an eye on and if your
12955s	Vancouver Titans blue you cannot forget
12957s	about her no and and they're learning
12960s	this firsthand well they should be
12961s	learning this firstand this is not your
12963s	first time playing this team on this
12965s	exact same compet composition and now
12968s	it's got to sink in you're doing the
12970s	same thing over and over again that's
12971s	quite literally the definition of
12973s	insanity Vancouver Titans blue are on
12976s	the brink of elimination from a
12978s	tournament that they have participated
12979s	in for so long they've worked hard to
12982s	get up to this point and they need to
12984s	pull out all the stops they got to take
12986s	this seriously you can't be going in
12988s	overconfident against a squad as kunishi
12990s	because they are just the team to
12992s	exploit that and there's another problem
12996s	I kind of see with Vancouver Titans blue
12998s	and I think it's a like a a long time
13001s	like about the whole team as a
13003s	collective all right is it takes them a
13005s	while from the start of the Season until
13007s	now to kind of come into their final
13008s	form to come together as a collective
13010s	and be the team that we all know and
13012s	love the problem is that takes a lot of
13014s	work which they are putting in that
13016s	takes a lot of scrims which I have
13018s	personally witnessed them doing I sat
13021s	for a double block with them literally
13023s	last night the problem though is no one
13025s	else in the world right now is scrimming
13028s	what kunishi is playing the Chung
13031s	Hunters are on a team anymore so you're
13032s	not going to get to go head-to-head with
13034s	them this is the next best thing right
13035s	here and you might think that you have a
13037s	plan but you don't ever really get the
13040s	opportunity to test that plan out until
13042s	it's game day and now hey it's game day
13045s	I just checked the calendar what do you
13046s	know and not only is it game day it's a
13048s	lower bracket elimination match where
13051s	Vancouver Titans blues fairy tale story
13054s	might come to a close they would be the
13056s	second of uh the second lcq team to fall
13060s	out you know kunoichi if they lose would
13062s	also be the same but they don't look
13064s	like they're in any shape to lose this
13065s	one right
13066s	now this is a rude awakening for
13069s	Vancouver Titans blue right now that
13072s	first map was a slap across the face you
13075s	you got to be awake get that coffee
13077s	going get punch in the mouth punch in
13080s	the mouth that doesn't feel good
13081s	Vancouver Titans blue you got to pull it
13084s	together they're sticking with what they
13086s	had expecting the far to come out the JQ
13089s	I mean
13091s	this just did not look coordinated
13093s	before I mean there's some pieces that
13094s	just did not operate together it it it
13097s	looks sloppy in kunichi they're able to
13100s	pull it apart and even if what they're
13102s	teasing right now is drastically
13104s	different from what was played on Leon
13106s	Tower it's just the composition that's
13108s	going to be able to separate these
13110s	players break that glue between them and
13113s	pull them off one by one yeah kunoichi
13115s	is actually going to swap back over to
13116s	the pharmacy composition I'm going to
13118s	give VT blue the benefit of the doubt
13119s	here because they will have the
13121s	opportunity to leverage some High Ground
13123s	that's going to put more pressure on El
13125s	and probably on barcode as well she's
13126s	going to swap back over onto the Tracer
13128s	and try and get access to pressure what
13131s	out meanwhile elel just pumping in the
13133s	Rockets already putting in a lot of
13135s	pressure look at that all charge already
13138s	ticking on Up's looking for the Target
13142s	they're flying a little bit farther back
13143s	she is playing slower right you're
13145s	respecting what's damage in the space
13147s	that she can take you call Force out
13150s	already Landing a n of all things on to
13153s	what I'm sorry but what happened
13155s	literally what happened to what during
13157s	that time to die to the honor of all
13160s	players as soon as what goes down I mean
13162s	there so much of a
13163s	liability you just break you bend over
13165s	backwards your back snapped in half and
13167s	elel Willows get a bit and you can see
13170s	how safe elel was playing over by the
13172s	statue that whole time until she sees
13173s	that what is down in the kill feed and
13175s	then she goes all right time to just uh
13177s	you know time to just go forward with it
13180s	time to to start taking some space he
13182s	just goes in completely uncontested and
13183s	the rest of VT blue have to fall back
13185s	they can't contest the point because now
13186s	there's nothing to stop this aerial
13188s	assault that's coming in from the
13189s	pharmacy here eeve is going to switch
13191s	over onto the Winston I think that's
13193s	another interesting wrinkle there still
13195s	kind of in a pharmacy dive sort of
13197s	situation but I mean could IGI keep
13199s	changing the question before Vancouver
13201s	Titans blue can even conceive of an
13203s	answer oh see you know what it is you
13205s	forgot their motto it's they can't know
13208s	what's happening if we don't know
13209s	ourselves that's the game that kigi are
13212s	playing right now whether there is
13213s	thought behind it or not it doesn't
13215s	matter as long as they're winning
13217s	they'll take any result they can get
13219s	under that title and it's about to get
13222s	crazy in here I's got a barrage online
13224s	can manage to stay out of the fire you
13226s	the pressure that is applied it takes a
13228s	hack it takes a dynamite and several
13230s	shots to take the bird out the wings
13232s	have been clipped the spawns right there
13234s	though vtb they're going to have to
13236s	rinse and repeat countless times I like
13238s	the swap from phone over onto the somra
13240s	though I think that's going to get a
13241s	little bit more pressure onto El there
13242s	and I also now kind of have to question
13245s	the Winston pick coming out from e but
13246s	with a nano boost no further questions
13248s	your honor oh you move on forward the
13250s	Matrix maybe question your decisions a
13252s	little and uh bye-bye monkey you go boom
13254s	H but so does what so that's okay elel
13256s	can move on up unafraid to use this
13258s	barrage spot the supports all looking
13260s	alone and juicy that's one down looking
13262s	for the second and she shall get it is
13266s	an absolute monster on the far I think
13269s	that was a Direct Hit rocket through the
13272s	translocator that was kind of bananas
13275s	there but I mean okay so you use the
13276s	Nano boost and you use the barrage
13278s	kunoichi they don't have a whole lot of
13279s	ultimates that can really drive this
13280s	rest of the way home VT blue are going
13282s	to have some pretty big ones sound
13284s	barrier the Rampage they're going to
13286s	have the Bob to stall out and they're
13287s	going to have the EMP how are they going
13290s	to capitalize on this EMP though is my
13292s	question and is essel and skiest more
13295s	importantly going to get caught up in it
13297s	I tell you right now SK or the target of
13300s	that
13301s	just like what is the target of 's dive
13303s	the Bob did manage to go out that's
13305s	something to work with so did the EMP
13306s	though the valkyrie is there yes he to
13308s	go to the sky and nobody is looking at
13310s	the good old monkers in your backline
13312s	nice n from from SK mind you Eevee just
13316s	can go in beat them all up and that's
13318s	going to be third Point unlocked with
13319s	nearly 5 minutes to push through that's
13323s	such a good play you use the Winston to
13324s	just completely cut what off so she
13326s	can't pop that Bob it's forced out in a
13328s	really suboptimal position completely
13331s	deny that high ground pressure Nostalgia
13333s	before they're able to build up to the
13334s	sound barrier and just continue to press
13336s	your advantage now the sound barrier is
13337s	on the field and the Winston is no
13339s	longer going to be as much of a threat
13340s	so yeah going to swap over to an ash of
13342s	your own and to a junker Queen and we're
13345s	going to pause and we're going to think
13346s	real hard about what's going to happen
13348s	next everybody squint start stroking
13351s	your chins and think with our big brains
13355s	what is going to happen next and then
13357s	stop thinking because there's no sense
13358s	in predicting it you can't predict k
13361s	you're so right though there is
13362s	literally no predicting on what is going
13365s	to happen I don't say it so many times
13366s	today I don't know what's happening if
13368s	we don't know ourselves I mean how much
13370s	work can you get I I I do want to give
13372s	credit though to swapping off
13374s	compositions on spots that you know
13375s	they're not going to be as favorable I
13378s	mean the change kunichi made will help
13380s	them a lot more in this third objective
13382s	and essentially kind of nullifies what
13384s	we were seeing from Vancouver Titans
13386s	blue they're going to have to completely
13387s	adjust their play style especially with
13390s	out on the May here and they're being
13393s	really proactive with the swaps and I do
13395s	really like that yeah that's the suzu
13396s	out cat now is the time to pop that
13398s	Rampage but not going to use it just yet
13401s	kunoichi giving a lot of space possibly
13403s	knowing that that Rampage is coming and
13405s	vancuver Titans L all the more happy to
13407s	just bleed out the clock but they bled a
13409s	little too hard and phone bleeds
13411s	out have the Rampage cat waited to long
13414s	to pounce and now it has to hit its Mark
13417s	barcode shall fall get cat it's looking
13420s	to see a similar fate L the healing can
13422s	be pumped in it's there and it's no he
13424s	get another res off this simply should
13427s	not be allowed right is doing everything
13431s	for this roster K rush now SK laying
13434s	down the red carpet the orange one
13436s	rather makunoichi to push on forwards
13439s	they're confident the snowball is
13441s	getting bigger and bigger and it's about
13443s	to crash at the bottom of the mountain
13445s	if Vancouver Titans blue don't have
13447s	anything to say DPS ultimates on the
13449s	board and anle is gone oh I take that
13451s	back she's right back up on her feet
13453s	it's a player disadvantage Feb oh they
13456s	can't keep this one going much longer
13458s	you can see them struggling to stand up
13460s	Claire shall fall victim of the Rampage
13463s	ebi one of the best juner queens that we
13465s	can see out of today's matchup and she
13468s	is showing us just why pulling them in
13470s	slashing them down to size Vancouver
13473s	Titans blue are looking like amateurs
13476s	compared to what we've seen from kunii
13478s	this game oh the point so close to being
13481s	capped staggers are impressive
13483s	nonetheless get the sound of the team
13485s	kill bell will ring in kudo's final
13488s	success two and a half minutes and a
13490s	full
13491s	cap there's one stat in particular
13494s	looking over here by the way shout out
13496s	to zeuser for all these real sick stats
13498s	we're seeing and we're probably going to
13499s	get a graphic for a little bit later but
13501s	right now I'm looking over here and I'm
13502s	looking at skiest zero deaths the way to
13506s	beat this composition that kunoichi is
13508s	playing seems so simple you either have
13510s	have to kill skiest so she cannot re and
13512s	you're down that healer or you have to
13515s	kill two members of kunoichi and make it
13517s	so that skiest has to break off from her
13520s	team and choose who she is going to heal
13522s	and that's when you strike that's your
13524s	window that's when you pounce to try and
13526s	take more blood and win more fights the
13528s	problem though is they haven't killed
13530s	skiest once and Vancouver Titans blue I
13534s	very rarely if ever are finding more
13536s	than one pick at a time it's usually
13538s	what coming through with a big pickoff
13541s	but VT blue can't Hold the space long
13543s	enough to deny the res they can't shut
13544s	skiest down essel e whoever it is is
13548s	always back in the fight before VT blue
13550s	even know what happened and they can't
13553s	capitalize on any of these frags they're
13556s	finding Vancouver Titans blue to put it
13559s	simply they're not stable it takes like
13562s	the smallest breeze on a summer day to
13564s	just knock them all over and that's a
13567s	big problem with kunichi move as fast as
13570s	they do you got to be able to Anchor
13573s	yourselves in if you're not going to
13574s	match that pace it has to be about can
13576s	you stay still long enough stay in the
13579s	same spot and allow yourselves to
13581s	capitalize and you're still going to run
13582s	out with this Sombra CB oh no
13585s	theef
13587s	okay I mean I kind of like that as just
13590s	a way to grief Eevee right now because I
13592s	mean if you if you get yeah you get one
13594s	kill on the attack here you can buy all
13596s	the space you need there and then you
13597s	still have what who's going to be
13599s	looking for an angle where she can
13600s	pressure out Ence skiti but that hasn't
13603s	really paid dividends and it really has
13605s	to they do take down eay though so
13607s	that's a start mhm yeah the reaper does
13610s	exactly what you needed to accomplish
13611s	Bone's job will be a lot more difficult
13613s	from here on out and you're you're on
13615s	monkey Duty right don't let the monkey
13617s	do things to your backline and uh yeah
13619s	you're good to keep on playing for the
13620s	day so Vancouver Titans blue on the
13622s	objective EV instantly swapping to back
13625s	to match that JQ a wise decision moving
13628s	on forwards expect what oh oh phone is
13631s	caught out the far tried to go on it's
13633s	has to get yourself out of there more
13635s	specifically phone now low HP kunichi on
13638s	the brink coming back in for a retake SK
13641s	sitting uncontested is a major threat
13644s	right now yeah she was contested briefly
13646s	but because phone is the one who has to
13648s	retreat and give ground there we go the
13649s	Sleep Dart misses and phone's going to
13651s	capitalize on it now as you're opening
13653s	you trade that it's going to be re but
13655s	you take down eeve oh you take down eeve
13656s	this the points all there yes you still
13658s	have bar code last please stay on the
13659s	point C is still winable elel was in the
13662s	sky or at least was the tank is back in
13664s	session or at least the support was back
13666s	in session it takes a ton of time for
13669s	Vancouver Titans blue these fights
13670s	they're Scrappy they're bloody and
13672s	they're messy and it takes all that more
13675s	effort to cap through a point
13677s	nonetheless having nearly 5 minutes is a
13680s	great change of pace for them and couver
13682s	Titans blue are slowly but surely
13683s	getting better and better at finding
13685s	weaknesses in kunoichi's comp and
13686s	exploiting them the only problem is
13688s	kunoichi keeps changing their comp Cod
13690s	is now swapping over onto the soldier
13693s	and she's going to have advantageous
13694s	angles and potentially you can even
13695s	break Sky off to to pocket her if you
13698s	really really want to what has a good
13700s	angle right here is forced to invest the
13702s	Bob to hold it uh that what Bob what are
13704s	we talking about I I don't see a bob
13706s	anywhere on my screen I only see a nan
13708s	evi walking through the back line scary
13711s	sight goodby cat evi as the serper claws
13715s	in this scratching fight and I can this
13718s	is a rough spot to be held at King's Row
13721s	just having this choke point not having
13723s	The High Ground I mean what can you do
13725s	right now not a whole lot cuz every time
13728s	you walk through that choke point you're
13729s	going to have to look up and find where
13731s	El's playing and you're when you're
13732s	looking up at elel you're not going to
13733s	be looking at barcode you're not going
13734s	to be looking at the nades that come
13736s	through for SK and you can see Vancouver
13738s	Titans they don't want to go through
13739s	this choke they want to try and get as
13741s	many people through The High Ground as
13742s	they want cler though can't really come
13745s	up there and is definitely susceptible
13747s	to some damage coming out from the juner
13748s	queen so that's more time being bled out
13750s	of the bank for Vancouver Titans blue
13752s	and they don't have a lot of it 3 and
13754s	1/2 minutes sure but again these fights
13757s	are long these fights are Scrappy you
13758s	have to pin members of kunoichi down
13760s	quickly and dispatch of them before
13762s	skiest can get any of them back I can
13765s	smell the barrage wants it waiting for
13768s	the chance and that's going to be the
13770s	over for the Rampage in first might go
13773s	down but cat loses the oh she lost the
13776s	ultimate I just realized that oh my gosh
13778s	oh BP uh they relying on that ultimate
13781s	to move on through Resurrection you have
13783s	it on to SK with the trade for I mean
13785s	that's honestly a chance for vtb to get
13787s	a quick reset here yeah but phone is so
13789s	deeply entrenched and has absolutely no
13791s	support right now nobody can help phone
13794s	and yeah they okay they're able to
13797s	leverage that to take down e though so
13798s	now VT blue can keep going a little bit
13800s	further they can start to make a little
13801s	bit more cart progress but the problem
13803s	is they're not going to be able to get a
13804s	whole lot before kunoichi are back at
13806s	full strength they take down phone they
13808s	finally deal with that Echo that was
13810s	lurking the lurker is gone and there's a
13814s	new ruler in the skies barcode leaping
13817s	up to
13818s	join into the aial pursuit and PB now
13822s	more in the control of
13824s	kunichi the barage on the line btb they
13827s	have ultimates of their own but have
13828s	been struggling to get a full five
13830s	regroup to actually make any decisive
13833s	progress the at Matrix helping clear
13835s	that space wonderful placement from CLA
13837s	Place incredibly far ahead to that
13839s	corner are not even kable only problem
13841s	is you forgot elel doesn't need to be on
13844s	the ground she's still going to be high
13845s	up in the skies that's side though
13847s	you've never been so angry to see a
13850s	labeled sign on your screen barcode
13853s	manages to get the pick off maybe making
13855s	up for some of that initial rage and CLA
13857s	going to this is it btb commit the
13859s	overclock you get the Nano out that's
13861s	not too bad yourselves yet you're not
13864s	winning this fight that's too many
13865s	ultimates too many players down you're
13867s	going to have to get a reset in and like
13869s	what do you do if your Vancouver Titans
13871s	blue to crack this because you have to
13872s	walk all the way through the entire
13874s	streets phase all the wild susceptible
13876s	to damage coming in from barcode from
13878s	essel even a little bit of spam damage
13880s	and some nades that are going to come
13881s	out from SK phone is going to keep
13883s	trying to circumvent it but every time
13886s	we take a fight here it's going to take
13888s	a long time to play out and Vancouver
13889s	Titans blue are almost out of it only
13891s	about a minute left they've got maybe
13894s	two fights in them and only a dead eye
13896s	to try and win one of them out that's
13898s	not a very big
13900s	ultimate nope if you get anything with
13903s	that ultimate I will be impressed with
13905s	you what
13906s	uh do we expect that to happen all right
13909s	there you go um that that's a dead eyee
13911s	for you everybody um not a good ultimate
13914s	to be able to use getting evi down that
13917s	is much more useful for btb they're now
13919s	on the Tracer will'll have what back in
13921s	the fight momentarily and phone is
13923s	putting in a lot of work on this Echo
13926s	and is having these Heroes popped in
13928s	while we need to get a counter because
13929s	it is absolutely insane how many times
13930s	it has happened making them has been the
13933s	reason BT blue have kept themselves
13935s	ahead in this series B in particular
13936s	finding their third final blow of this
13939s	fight alone elel needs to be the next
13942s	Target that goes on through the Rampage
13943s	help a little bit to slow that progress
13946s	eBay incredibly low get the healing from
13948s	ski the Valkyries pop the healing beams
13950s	attached everybody giving a big old
13952s	group hug handled by the yellow beam and
13956s	Vancouver Titans blue just like that it
13958s	was a minute and a half half and now is
13960s	down to 5 Seconds only one player in
13964s	sight Nostalgia gets the Final Touch in
13966s	overtime is there Vancouver Titans blue
13969s	their time has ended here on Kings Row
13973s	Kuno cgl up to match point on the verge
13976s	of knocking VT blue out of the
13979s	tournament we talked about the mental of
13982s	VT blue and how many times it has been
13984s	tested and it's definitely being tested
13988s	right now you said taking kunoichi to
13990s	Liang Tower was the definition of
13992s	insanity Ian VT blue are definitely
13994s	driving themselves insane trying to
13997s	crack this code and in doing so look at
13999s	this like this play right here from what
14001s	is the only time throughout the entire
14003s	map that skiest died one death to her
14007s	name the whole time and yeah of course
14008s	that's the fight that VT blue win but
14011s	that never happened the rest of the map
14013s	and like I keep saying you have to
14014s	either kill or get two kills
14017s	otherwise you you're not going going to
14019s	win the fight it's going to take too
14021s	long to play out she's going to keep
14023s	building up to valkyri over and over
14025s	again 11k healing for her and most of
14028s	that is like attached to essel but once
14030s	she gets that Valkyrie up and Pops it
14032s	suddenly all the healing to the entire
14034s	team you have to burst someone down
14036s	quickly and without what being in
14039s	position to do so that's just never
14041s	going to
14042s	happen you cannot emphasize enough the
14045s	value SK brings the kunoichi's RO
14050s	GUI and SK are one of the most skilled
14053s	support Duos that you can find out there
14056s	on their most comfortable bu picks and
14058s	kunichi they play that they base their
14061s	entire team around skd around SK because
14064s	they are just that dang good at the
14067s	video game kunu cgl are confident
14070s	Vancouver Titans blue what what do they
14073s	do do they know what to do does kunoichi
14075s	know what to do nobody knows what's
14077s	happening except for flasho is next next
14079s	and flash point will be the last chance
14082s	for Vancouver Titans blue to turn
14084s	themselves around and continue their
14086s	life through this tournament there's the
14089s	stat that I was talking about yeah have
14091s	a look and not only at cs's one death
14094s	which again is egregious for a team
14096s	playing against a mercy you have to be
14098s	able to punish her a little bit more but
14100s	skiest wrote the book when it comes to
14102s	the schement on Mercy she's not going to
14104s	be easy to pin down but somebody has to
14108s	otherwise you're going to keep seeing
14109s	score lines like the ones for barcode
14111s	and essel 27 and four for both of them
14114s	which DPS do you even focus on in my
14117s	opinion it's neither I think you have to
14119s	focus on skiest and trying to negate her
14121s	impact that you're having right now and
14123s	I asked when we introduced kunoichi I
14126s	said like we said Everybody's Got A Plan
14129s	until they get punched in the mouth how
14130s	many more punches do kunoichi have the
14133s	answer is at least two if there's a
14135s	third it's going to be a knockout blow
14138s	yeah right now huichi they're in the
14141s	driver seat Vancouver Titans blue
14143s	stuffed back in the trunk it's time for
14146s	them to get back on out stand up tall
14149s	for your last chance in New Or excuse me
14153s	in new junk City before we get there
14155s	we'll be heading to a brief break oh
14157s	actually no break no break this time I
14159s	can read I promise no breaks only gas
14162s	we're going we're send we got to send it
14165s	as we should we can't lose the momentum
14166s	in this series honestly I mean new junk
14168s	City Vancouver Titans blue picking this
14171s	what what's really your read here like
14173s	why would they try to pick this we've
14174s	only seen surasa so far today what's the
14176s	difference with new junk City to be
14178s	completely honest with you I don't know
14180s	because I have no clue how kudu ichi's
14182s	composition plays on new junk City
14184s	because it's like we saw it a couple
14186s	times yeah we don't even know what
14188s	composition they're going to play we saw
14190s	their their ball Pharmacy comp a couple
14192s	times in uh in lcq and even still like
14195s	it felt like a lot of the points where
14197s	it's indoors like the opening point in
14199s	like ducks and Refinery you kind of have
14202s	the advantage there cuz it's going to be
14203s	a low ceiling where the far can't really
14205s	get a whole lot of value but that's not
14207s	the only thing that elel is capable of
14209s	playing and again even if you negate
14211s	that you have to shut skti down because
14214s	she might just be on an off angle with
14215s	barcode pocketing the soier and suddenly
14217s	barcode is the biggest threat in the
14220s	lobby it's literally just a flip when
14223s	you saw that last game those stats it
14225s	took so if you counted up the
14227s	eliminations that both phone and what
14229s	had combined that was still like at
14231s	least five less than one of kunoichi's
14234s	DPS they're fighting on just another
14237s	level we're saying it again you're not
14239s	putting them down they're staying alive
14242s	and SK City needs to be Public Enemy
14244s	Number One for Vancouver Titans blue if
14248s	you get the if you get the angel down
14250s	things are looking a lot more grim and
14252s	kunoichi may have to re-evaluate their
14254s	game plan if we continue the way we're
14256s	going this is map three this is going to
14258s	be the last last map and Vancouver
14260s	Titans blue will be sent home you said
14263s	you got to get the angel down but I got
14265s	to feel like to Vancouver Titans blue
14267s	right now skiest is anything but an
14269s	angel she is a damn demon that they just
14271s	can't seem to get rid of there is not
14274s	enough holy water to deal with skiest
14276s	right now and they got to find some
14279s	right they got to find some answer to
14280s	pin her down or again just win the fight
14283s	so decisively that she cannot res that
14286s	her healing becomes mitigated her impact
14289s	becomes mitigated it's going to be such
14291s	a difficult task and when you're this
14293s	behind the eightball there's all the
14295s	more pressure coming out I'm looking at
14298s	Vancouver Titans bles comp right now
14300s	there is no symmetra there is no TP song
14303s	it is just aggression desperation and
14306s	trying to claw themselves back into it
14309s	actually phone going to swap over onto
14311s	the Catra maybe a quick little little
14313s	tee song maybe just the chorus and then
14315s	we're going to go right back into it but
14317s	the thing is going for that retrop play
14319s	isn't even going to give you an
14320s	advantage compared to kuni's composition
14322s	because it's 10 times as fast Kuni did
14325s	the T just just for Giggles honestly
14328s	like that don't gain much from doing it
14330s	to begin with and you get it out there
14332s	EV maybe gets a cool roll out to go
14334s	through and you're in the exact
14335s	situation you expect to be's going to
14337s	hover around the center of this Arena
14340s	Dome and Vancouver Titans blue you're
14342s	you're not going to do what cannot poke
14344s	her head out long enough to deal enough
14347s	damage to take her okay it l head shot
14349s	think
14350s	so you know what she probably deserved
14353s	that what down is the res coming through
14354s	thoughe seems like she's looking for it
14356s	is she going for it oh no it's paone
14359s	that's pinning down the mercy get you
14361s	lost all of your team so if it really
14363s	doesn't matter at the end of the day
14365s	here I it's still kind of what you need
14367s	to do if your Vancouver Titans blue
14369s	ideally you'd like to do it a little bit
14370s	less bloody and the Bloodshed hasn't
14372s	quite stopped as you just rolls right
14374s	over phone there but there was at least
14376s	a glimmer of what I want to see from
14377s	Vancouver Titans blue they do take down
14379s	elel and then they actually have the
14381s	positioning available to corpse guards
14382s	CU skti can't get the res off and in
14385s	fact they even punish skiest for going
14387s	for it but again when you're looking at
14389s	the pharmacy you're not looking at these
14391s	several threats on the ground and
14393s	barcode and EV are absolutely threats
14396s	that have yet to be dealt with and right
14398s	now one of those threats has a pulse
14399s	bomb she's going to be looking for a
14401s	backliner to put it on probably going to
14403s	try and put it on to what just to
14405s	completely shut down any chance of V
14406s	blue retaking here big on of DEA watch
14409s	out for the defense matrix it's a little
14412s	bit wide anyway so they're okay that
14414s	will be a stick on to evi but I mean you
14416s	got of a bajillion Health you can roll
14418s	out of there no problem whatsoever Point
14421s	still in favor of kunichi the contest is
14424s	beginning path swap to the diva allows
14426s	for a lot more mobility and applying
14428s	that pressure forces kunichi to stick in
14430s	one spot and potentially if super Titans
14433s	with a chance to nail down one of these
14435s	players with all the ultimates coming on
14437s	through all Bob can do is get a couple
14439s	mines out of the way but the big one
14441s	that's through is skti you get one
14444s	problem down what to say about the next
14446s	one barcode is running a mck through the
14448s	back line right now and elel is still
14450s	alive with 50 HP to spare checking out
14452s	the barrage defens does enough to keep
14454s	the kuo alive but it what cost Vancouver
14458s	Titans blue they got the point fli back
14460s	over they have a d to Diva the last one
14462s	to get there cat how long can you fight
14464s	in this pilot form give your team a
14467s	chance at Rec contesting has that Mecha
14469s	suit back online but no get impressive
14472s	with it SK takes her out oh a critical
14475s	mistake oh thankfully one the entire
14477s	team isn't punished for as arena is
14480s	still going on that was inches away from
14483s	disaster I don't know how elel even hit
14485s	that no look fadeaway shot on Nostalgia
14488s	there but that almost put the point to
14490s	rest but Vancouver Titans blue able to
14491s	hold strong and despite losing cat she's
14494s	on or Cat's on the diva so they are
14495s	going to get back fast phone going way
14498s	out of the way to try and geta what is
14500s	this du over here we're not on bomb
14502s	Flats yet get on out of here able to win
14505s	the DU eay wins it with a sliver of
14506s	Health outright phone will get back fast
14509s	but e will be back even faster what is
14511s	this game what is this game I mean what
14514s	is controlling the game right now that's
14515s	guesty gone this is the most she has
14517s	died within a map so far Vancouver
14519s	Titans blue this a significant
14521s	Improvement either of the two maps that
14524s	we've seen in this game just not enough
14526s	to stop so you deal with one threat
14528s	another one appears it's like fighting a
14530s	Hydra you cut off one hand and there's
14532s	just constantly more trying TOA in the
14536s	back uh btb as this is the best we've
14538s	seen from them I've loved it phone can
14540s	only do so much I mean that's are you
14542s	going to 3v one right now if you're
14544s	going to 3 one Tracer is the hero to do
14546s	it on and he got a sound barrier at your
14547s	back all right they're still very much
14549s	in this fight btb CB what they're doing
14552s	they're feeding into the chaos they're
14554s	going they're playing kunoichi's own
14556s	game they're making these fights longer
14558s	because they're making the return time
14559s	shorter picking these faster Heroes and
14562s	making them stall they're winnable
14564s	winnable winnable winnable is what
14566s	they're calling in the comms right now
14568s	keep themselves motivated throughout all
14570s	of this utter gigans that is happening
14573s	on the objective finally the dust shall
14576s	Shadow one Victor walks away from the
14578s	arena and it's
14579s	kunichi that was an absolute blood bath
14582s	phone almost comes through with the hero
14584s	plays and Nostalgia even invests the
14585s	sound barrier to try and give her the
14587s	chance to keep it going but it's not not
14588s	quite enough the Cavalry comes back and
14591s	even though Vancouver Titans blue have a
14592s	Cavalry of their own Claire gets picked
14594s	out and dissected by kunoichi that is
14597s	great Target prioritization that comes
14599s	out from the squad because that's all
14600s	the healing gone that Vancouver Titans
14602s	blue are relying on and now kunoichi are
14605s	going to take the first point take the
14607s	first positioning on bomb Flats hey
14608s	we're finally on this
14610s	point okay we are on a new point this is
14613s	where bombs are allowed bar Cod though
14615s	didn't do too much and Sky guess what
14618s	there's a a bird back in the sky Rising
14620s	Phoenix you might call her Kun cgl and
14624s	control the first point Vancouver Titans
14625s	blue nowhere to be seen they've been
14626s	stopped up at the choke this whole time
14628s	looking at the wrecking ball looking at
14630s	the Tracer I mean the Pure Element of
14631s	distraction CB and it was because what
14634s	got picked off immediately after finding
14636s	the kill on Elin how many times we got
14638s	to say itel gets resed what has no such
14641s	Lifeline CLA definitely needs a Lifeline
14643s	right now oh that we can say that for
14646s	asle too the defense makes some cats
14648s	been incredibly placed the resurrection
14650s	gets denied and there goes pesty
14653s	Vancouver Titans blue have looked a lot
14655s	better when their target prioritization
14657s	cat being on this Diva she is struggling
14659s	to stay within the mech understandably
14661s	given the
14662s	circumstances fine because it allows
14664s	what and phone to take that space while
14667s	the self-destruct is going on while cat
14668s	is making a dive your DPS have it
14671s	covered and Cat does the single most
14674s	important thing there and that is deny
14675s	the res coming out from skiest and
14677s	that's everything that's what Vancouver
14678s	Titans blue need to keep doing and I
14680s	kind of like the composition that
14682s	they're on right now because that means
14683s	cat can be the one to take the
14684s	initiative they don't have to worry
14686s	about a tank duel with e because EV
14687s	doesn't care about a tank duel she just
14689s	wants to roll over the backline speaking
14691s	of getting rolled over Barco just got
14693s	rolled over there by what that might be
14695s	reible but e is not nope that that
14698s	that's not happening at all and what has
14700s	been on a tear this map something has
14703s	woken inside her she's like I am not
14704s	going down this way we are not done yet
14707s	and it is paying off this
14709s	Ash and now players's going to have the
14712s	katun rush I'm not quite sure how much
14713s	value they're actually going to be able
14714s	to find with that but they are able to
14716s	keep an angle where what is Hello
14719s	barcode that shouldn't be aone that's a
14721s	pting GI toia and CLA are taking to the
14724s	great kichi they needed to wait in they
14727s	just found it marode sealing the deal on
14730s	this flight
14732s	28p to spare van Cooper Titans blue will
14735s	manage to get bomb Flats up to a single
14737s	fight territory and phone is still very
14740s	much alive hunting down a few more
14742s	players I mean btb they're hanging on
14744s	for dear life here CB it's Claire taking
14747s	some lives as well getting a receipt
14749s	there on to elel and yeah the supports
14751s	are back Nostalgia inv best the sound
14753s	Bearer e is going to fall this might be
14755s	Vancouver Titans Blue's point to win
14757s	despite the entry frags that came out
14759s	from barcode oh Vancouver Titans blue I
14762s	mean this is the comeback bone staying
14764s	alive and the return from the supports
14766s	moving quickly as they did allow them to
14769s	see through with the chaos through all
14771s	the explosions happening they find a way
14774s	through they lock themselves in see this
14776s	map really has the potential to go to
14778s	the distance it definitely does and by
14780s	the way kunoichi the only reason that
14782s	fight was as close as it was was because
14784s	of barcode and I mean The Observers kind
14786s	of did our whole jobs for us told the
14788s	whole story spectating what while
14790s	everyone's looking at elel no one is
14792s	looking at barcode and they should be
14794s	Feast your eyes on barcode and pH maybe
14796s	you know go back to elel for a split
14798s	second there kind of slipped up a little
14800s	bit but also watch out for barcode
14802s	because you know she's in the backline
14803s	lurking right now building up to that
14805s	pulse bomb looking for another juicy
14807s	backliner to stick it
14808s	to going to have it here in just a
14811s	moment and Kuni they got the first C for
14814s	Titans blue have gotten nowhere near
14817s	this objective realistically the Bob
14818s	will help here some space to begin with
14821s	it's a lot of out and it's not going to
14823s	get on through elel has plenty of
14826s	support to go on in until has something
14829s	to say about the resurrection though Sky
14830s	it got knocked out of the way that won't
14832s	happen this is where man super Titans
14834s	blue they've made the change they've
14835s	identified that number one thre Public
14838s	Enemy Number One is SK you take her out
14841s	kunichi will fail and by the way last
14844s	map we talked about skiest only having
14846s	one death right now she's got seven same
14848s	with SK as well and that does kind of
14851s	spell to me that Vancouver Titans blue
14853s	have figured this one out they just have
14855s	to keep skiest in check and they're
14857s	going to force swaps coming out of
14859s	kunichi now they can no longer put all
14861s	of their eggs into eless they're going
14863s	to have to have ski SD pocketing barcode
14864s	while the rest of the team plays in a
14866s	three stack using the May for leverage
14868s	but is that going to work against what
14869s	Vancouver Titans blue are playing right
14871s	now and with the ult they are
14873s	massing Titans blue this change isn't
14876s	going to be the best for their
14877s	composition there's nothing to stop
14879s	Eevee in her tracks ad Diva that's free
14882s	all charge going on through yeah don't
14884s	have any tanks yeah don't have any
14886s	support yeah this will be a very short
14889s	Liv Vancouver Titans blue cap here on
14892s	this map I won't be shocked though if we
14894s	see some swaps coming out pretty soon
14897s	after this reset goes through though
14899s	almost definitely I mean you're still
14901s	going to have one more chance to cap
14902s	this point though if your Vancouver
14903s	Titans blue you get yourself to 90%
14905s	we're only at 45 for kunoichi and you do
14907s	have the pulse bomb but I wouldn't be
14909s	surprised to see maybe some other swaps
14911s	actually they're going to get rid of the
14912s	pulse bomb altogether they're just going
14914s	for the ratra rush and this is great but
14917s	the problem I'm going to immediately
14919s	call out here is they gave up a lot of
14921s	ult charge and they're not going to have
14923s	a whole lot of tools here just Nostalgia
14925s	sound barrier maybe if the fight goes
14927s	long enough if they're not focused down
14930s	it's going to be kind of dicey it's
14931s	going to be real neutral and that's
14933s	where a pocketed barcode is deadly
14936s	making these swaps now and honestly that
14938s	might have hurt vancou for Titans blue
14940s	more than trying to stay on this comp
14942s	trying to St on their old composition
14944s	for one more battle this is it this is
14946s	the overtime time going on down it is an
14949s	isolation though I E does go down guess
14952s	he's hunting for the res there's no way
14953s	she man to get this off oh she does the
14955s	impossible Barco though and elel will
14958s	not be making a return throughout this
14960s	fight but Eevee is the one the only one
14963s	that is needed both supports at her back
14965s	all of the healing you could possibly
14967s	imagine pumped into one tank the Sala
14970s	even commits the St barrier into it it
14972s	is disappearing just in a snack in a
14974s	Flash evi just for good measure throw
14977s	the Rampage on out there unui cgl this
14980s	is them they're regaining their footing
14982s	and Vancouver Titans blue to go back to
14984s	the drawing board now this really is do
14987s	or die I mean they do find the kill
14991s	onto sorry yes they does find the res
14994s	over there onto eeve and while she's
14997s	trying to get that res off she's not
14998s	attached to barcode Vancouver Titans
15000s	blue punish that and get the kill onto
15001s	barcode but SK comes up huge with some
15004s	big kills off the back of it and they do
15006s	make the most of EV being brought back
15008s	especially with that Rampage towards the
15010s	tail end and how many times have we seen
15011s	this map that it comes down to phone and
15013s	Nostalgia clinging on for dear life to
15016s	try and keep Vancouver Titans blue in
15018s	the fight but it's just not enough
15019s	despite the blizzard being invested now
15022s	with a mercy pocketed overclock in the
15024s	backline barcode can get kunoichi an
15027s	early cap here but overlock doesn't get
15030s	anything and you ended up losing support
15033s	is limited and Vancouver Titans blue are
15035s	cleaning up this is what we've been
15037s	seeing is that hat and phone Tak down e
15040s	really early and kunichi they don't have
15042s	that anchor to play behind yeah now
15044s	they're not going to have that over
15045s	clock either they're not going to have a
15047s	whole lot of tools Vancouver Titans blue
15049s	though they have now made up for lost
15051s	time made up for all that deficit that
15053s	they got when they swapped they're going
15054s	to have the annihilation they're going
15056s	to have their own overclock phone's
15057s	almost going to have another blizzard
15059s	and now kunoichi when we're playing a
15060s	lot more close to home a lot closer to
15063s	what the meta actually is it's time to
15065s	see what they're really made of can they
15067s	finish this one out or do Vancouver
15069s	Titans blue still have some life left in
15071s	him phone definitely does not that mayw
15074s	well from elel was incredible not only
15076s	did it isolate phone but cat was stuck
15078s	on the other side taking a beating from
15080s	the junker Queen over the annihilation
15082s	had to make an appearance to keep the
15084s	tank on their feet slightly longer and
15087s	like all that hard work is instantly
15088s	undone SK is resed back on their feet
15092s	problem is lose healing for a short
15094s	amount of time Vancouver Titans blue and
15096s	a semi stable position what on The High
15099s	Ground overclock in play it might come
15102s	out here honestly it should come out
15103s	here especially how close this map is
15106s	they going compl no but kunai to the
15108s	Dome what was the chance to close this
15110s	one through El even committed the
15112s	blizzard on in evi back on the D Ki
15114s	should not be winning a fight such as
15116s	this one Vancouver Titans lizard they're
15119s	even chucking in pH is doing a ton of
15122s	work you literally cannot ask her to do
15124s	more than what is being accomplished by
15127s	this Flex s player you can't strain it I
15130s	can't strain it enough man Titans blue
15133s	are making this Scrappy the Trad back
15135s	and forth but the barcode Factor remains
15138s	Supreme she's checking players out one
15141s	by one Kuda cgl they wanted to make it
15143s	happened but the contest is finally over
15146s	we've gone to round number five of
15149s	course new junk city has to go the
15151s	distance Vancouver Titans blue it's not
15153s	perfect it is not clean but it feels
15154s	like they are figuring it out they're
15156s	finding their groove little by little
15158s	they get the early kill onto SK skiest
15160s	has to go back for the res to get her
15162s	back and while that's all happening they
15164s	take down EV and the Domino's all fall
15166s	but kunoichi by their very nature they
15168s	keep setting up more and more dominoes
15170s	to be knocked over and they almost buy
15173s	their way into capping that point
15174s	outright but they aren't able to close
15176s	it out despite bar code's best efforts
15179s	phone was just doing that much more and
15182s	is going to need to keep doing more as
15184s	we're on our fifth Point here we're in
15186s	the Ducks we going to be able to close
15188s	this one out the Ducks W really able to
15192s	get through the Titans blue went up
15194s	early but that's way too much aggression
15196s	could reach cgl they walked outside the
15198s	choke point and what was on a flank
15200s	angle that whole time oh a critical
15202s	mistake they had that point in the bag
15205s	but they just fumbled it the spaghetti
15207s	is everywhere and I mean you're going to
15210s	want to pick that one back up put it
15212s	right in your pocket there along with
15213s	that blizzard that El's holding on to
15215s	because phone is going to have one of
15217s	her own pretty damn soon and then you're
15219s	looking at the rest of the ult Vancouver
15220s	Titans blue they can get themselves up
15222s	to that 99% if they just stagger these
15225s	out little by little I say go with the
15227s	annihilation first use that to buy
15228s	yourself some time go with the amp
15230s	Matrix though and a nice icicle right
15232s	through the Dome is going to put that
15234s	blizzard charge to rest that's the
15236s	bassard pick to go through phone though
15238s	gets a taste of their own medicine barod
15241s	is still as strong as ever we haven't
15243s	seen Sky die a ton recently and CB look
15246s	at the change in gameplay kunichi are
15249s	able to live a lot longer than they
15251s	should be able to do so barode instantly
15253s	has that 30% damage boost in her back
15256s	pocket whenever it is needed Vancouver
15259s	Titans blue they're going to lose that
15260s	point control and have one more fight to
15262s	win to keep this in the series that's
15265s	kind of a fumble for VT blue cuz they
15267s	invest two ultimates and kunoichi like
15269s	they do get that early pickoff onto elel
15270s	but skti pops the the valkyrie and
15273s	that's the only ult that kunoichi need
15275s	because Barco just pops off while that's
15276s	going with all of the damage boost and
15278s	all the healing and VT blue they don't
15280s	have the resources to sustain any longer
15282s	without investing ultimates that would
15284s	have been thrown down the drain anyway
15285s	now they have to try and leverage them
15287s	to buy themselves back in here but the
15288s	blizzard is going to be matched for that
15291s	hits onto two players surely one of them
15293s	shall go down oh and the overclock get
15295s	shut down mid play kunc this is the
15299s	fight this is the ultimate fight that
15300s	you would have to win this one's got to
15301s	be high and dry for btb and they are
15303s	fighting an uphill battle no they have
15306s	to climb up the whole dang Mountain
15308s	and they have no equipment to do so
15310s	they're climbing shoes they left those
15311s	back at home they're making composition
15313s	swaps knowing that they don't have
15314s	ultimates to try and win this fight
15316s	outright wi they have to try and just
15318s	find a pick find a frag find a kill or
15321s	your hopes of going further in the
15323s	Champions go up in smoke the touch comes
15325s	out from phone but fors to translocate
15327s	out okay to get Alin off forong by
15330s	yourself the crossair of far code she's
15332s	still going the Rampage from Eevee
15334s	painting the crowd purple Vancouver
15337s	Titans blue they have led they have
15339s	taken their last breath here within the
15342s	calling all heroes scene their time is
15344s	done but the Cinderella run shall
15348s	continue one Cinderella run will
15351s	continue the other comes to an end cuz I
15353s	would have describe Vancouver Titans
15355s	Blues calling all heroes run as quite
15357s	the Cinderella Story a tale of what hard
15359s	work can get you if you just work if you
15362s	just grind and improve over time come
15364s	together as a team come together as a
15366s	collective but none of that really
15369s	matters because like we said the most
15370s	carefully laid plans all go Belly Up
15373s	When kunoichi comes through playing
15376s	whatever the hell they want getting away
15378s	with it and unless you can consistently
15380s	kill skiest or stop her from getting
15382s	value on that Mercy you just can't put
15385s	this team down for good and we saw that
15387s	time and time again we saw Vancouver
15389s	Titans blue start to pick up on that and
15392s	start to prioritize getting that Mercy
15394s	out of the sky more often than not but
15396s	it was too little too late a day late in
15398s	a dollar short and they don't have
15400s	enough to buy their way into another
15402s	round here in the lower bracket kunoichi
15404s	Cinderella story though like you said
15407s	continues as the spirit of chungu
15409s	continues to haunt this team uh you say
15412s	haunt I think the spirit has been fully
15415s	embraced it's their best friend it wins
15417s	them games we said this at the beginning
15419s	of the series you do not practice you do
15422s	not scrim against what kunoichi cgl is
15425s	playing partially what one kunoichi
15427s	doesn't scrim but two nobody else is
15429s	playing this meta because it's well I I
15431s	say meta it's not meta it is if you're
15433s	kunichi because it's your best hero it's
15435s	your comfort picks that they have
15437s	managed to Wrangle together in some sort
15439s	of like Patchwork form and make it
15442s	happen huichi keep themselves alive in
15445s	the tournament purely because of their
15448s	unpredictability and their skill their
15451s	individual skill on their respective
15453s	Heroes catching opponents off guard and
15456s	even destroying some of the best most
15458s	coordinated teams we have it really is
15461s	unpredictability because even if you
15463s	feel like you can predict that they're
15464s	going to come out with that trademark
15465s	wrecking ball Pharmacy composition they
15468s	can just switch it up on a moment's
15469s	notice and even if you know you manage
15471s	to predict that and they don't switch it
15473s	they can still switch up how they play
15475s	it you can't really plan for this team
15477s	and like you said scrimming against a
15479s	team that plays this is just a complete
15480s	nonstarter and that's kunoichi's
15483s	Advantage right anybody they go up
15484s	against has to try and solve the puzzle
15486s	in real time and that's not something
15489s	that you have the ability to do all of
15491s	the weeks and hours and scrim blocks
15494s	everything that you worked for doesn't
15496s	mean anything when you're playing a
15498s	completely different game when you're
15500s	playing kunoichi's game it's like you
15503s	Vancouver Titans blue they operate like
15505s	a grandfather clock and then you know
15508s	what kunichi do they bring out the
15510s	Hammers they go in and they hit the
15512s	thing and they keep hitting it until it
15513s	falls apart it crumbles and it cannot be
15515s	fixed they've done that to several teams
15517s	so far Vancouver Titans blue was just
15520s	another on that list and I got to tell
15523s	you CB well while we have a lot of
15524s	questions a lot of no unknown
15526s	surrounding kunichi we do have some
15528s	experts in the back pocket arietta and
15531s	Ash will be making an appearance once
15533s	again to break down the puzzle that was
15536s	our third game of the evening don't go
15538s	anywhere we got the analysis coming
15540s	right
15546s	up
15565s	[Music]
15571s	[Music]
15589s	[Music]
15613s	[Music]
15624s	[Music]
15638s	[Music]
15665s	w
15673s	[Music]
15695s	he
15697s	[Music]
15719s	[Music]
15725s	know
15729s	[Music]
15739s	what a way to end off our day here for
15742s	the first day of the OverWatch calling
15744s	all heroes Challengers championship
15747s	series and it was pretty interesting the
15751s	way things started off there arietta I
15754s	think it was very surprising that VT
15756s	took it to leion J tower on our first
15758s	map because I feel like that
15759s	unfortunately doesn't set them up quite
15762s	well for success in a best of Five
15764s	series yeah leang Tower is definitely
15767s	known as more of a brawl map
15769s	particularly a control center but you
15772s	know we got early picks from SK right
15775s	off the bat on that on that point um and
15777s	then sk's survivability on that point in
15780s	particular just provided the consistent
15782s	beam up time they needed to just
15784s	absolutely execute
15787s	yeah and I mean you were talking a
15788s	little bit about how they like to set up
15790s	as well in general um as far as being
15794s	able to find those openings that they
15796s	need to make the fights turn into their
15799s	favorit to
15800s	Ariana yeah their Dives are very
15802s	disciplined um they you know know how
15805s	exactly how to set up on angles on each
15807s	map despite you know whatever map
15809s	terrain they're working on um and any
15812s	any push that BT blue is able to throw
15815s	at noichi they were able to adjust
15818s	around um and counter rotate in a way
15821s	that they could um height that
15823s	aggression and then catch out BT blue
15826s	without
15827s	resources yeah almost moving like water
15829s	in that kind of sense with that Mobility
15831s	for them on the side of Ki just their
15834s	ability to respond in that kind of way
15835s	but tiny we also have to consider the
15837s	fact that VT blue also look to make
15840s	adaptations throughout this entire
15841s	series it was unfortunate that it seemed
15844s	like it was a bit of a slower start
15846s	before they really were able to find
15848s	that opportunity to walk in on trying to
15851s	take
15852s	down there was this extended trial
15855s	period in a way where Vancouver Titans
15857s	blue were just swapping to Hero after
15860s	hero after Hero trying to make something
15862s	land most of this was in the DPS
15864s	department and it really wasn't until we
15866s	got to new junk City where any of that
15869s	made much of a difference and phone
15871s	specifically want to give him a shout
15872s	out had one heck of a map there in new
15875s	junk City I mean a lot of that that
15876s	Tracer play that's why these fights were
15878s	close they were Scrappy because phone
15879s	was picking up one to two final blows
15881s	per fight and it's not something that
15883s	you often see from a tracer player
15886s	especially when your team is struggling
15888s	to push that ball on forwards at the end
15890s	of the day while those adaptations of
15892s	eventually started to stick it was too
15894s	little too late of a realization to make
15896s	any real comeback against migi and it's
15899s	funny that you mentioned phone too
15900s	because I wanted to highlight this
15901s	head-to-head between phone and barcode
15904s	specifically within that last map that
15906s	we saw on new junk City it was pretty
15909s	intense the way that these two DPS
15911s	players were looking to bring the
15912s	Firepower to the table but I felt like
15916s	barcode really started to heat up
15918s	towards the end of that last met
15920s	Marietta yeah absolutely um even though
15923s	new junk city is tougher for uh for
15926s	Mercy um barcode was able to at just
15929s	take opportunities to pop off on that
15932s	last map and um that made a huge
15934s	difference for kunoichi overall um
15936s	definitely a very very good showing from
15939s	barcode
15940s	there I'm even just looking at the fact
15943s	that like you have like 4.7 ultimates
15945s	used per 10 there on the side of phone
15947s	just looking to try and pump those out
15949s	and we're also looking at the fact that
15952s	in the grand scheme of things on new
15953s	junk City there arietta we had the fact
15957s	that there were those swaps coming out
15960s	for the heroes on the side of ET blue
15963s	but once kenoi were struggling to find
15965s	their footing they ended up deciding to
15967s	sacrifice a little bit of that Mobility
15969s	with some of those hero swaps yeah
15971s	definitely um you know I think VT blue
15974s	was able to recognize that um kunoichi
15976s	swapped off the Lucio um and tried to
15979s	you know utilize their brawl comp to get
15981s	onto those points faster on flasho but
15984s	unfortunately for them uh kunoichi was
15986s	still able to adapt to that brawl
15989s	composition and just um drain their
15992s	resources and execute on that
15994s	map and I know that you drunk City
15997s	wasn't the most favorable for SK skti so
16001s	we have to take a look at some replays
16003s	from earlier on in this series as well
16005s	because tiny the pharmacy gaml was
16008s	absolutely popping off the fact that you
16011s	have
16012s	Sky zero deaths at one point on Kings
16015s	Row in that first half and ending off
16019s	only two deaths in the first two matches
16021s	insane that's what you see from the top
16024s	level of Mercy players of course being a
16027s	big part of that always being up in the
16028s	sky as a friend to like hey I can help
16030s	lift you up and get her out of danger
16032s	and ski just showcases an absolute Mercy
16036s	Master Class I'm like chef's kiss
16038s	perfect I would not change a single
16039s	thing about what skiti did today having
16042s	two deaths over the course of two maps
16045s	that's absolutely unheard of especially
16047s	in this type of gameplay and it really
16049s	does show the potential that some of
16051s	these unconventional picks can
16053s	have the potential in it but also we're
16056s	talking a little bit about the trust
16057s	that you have to have as a team arietta
16060s	to be able to just know okay sky is
16063s	going to cook on the mercy if you let
16066s	her and the fact that they have to adapt
16067s	around in their play style in their team
16069s	compositions as well to that uh yeah I
16072s	mean an organized play there's
16074s	definitely an emphasis on um a certain
16077s	um I guess like pool of comps that teams
16080s	generally tend to play um because of you
16082s	know the advantages and disadvantages of
16085s	the um current patch but I mean kunoichi
16088s	put a lot of trust into skti um and that
16091s	trust was very well placed um skti is an
16094s	absolute Master at survivability on
16097s	Mercy um and even just the mid-fight
16099s	reses that she got on kings's row just
16102s	made a significant impact in their team
16104s	fights um and that's absolutely why um
16108s	kunoichi came out with the win
16111s	here man I can't wait to see if they can
16113s	continue to bring this Firepower into
16115s	tomorrow but but we do have an interview
16117s	on the line we are going to say uh I
16120s	believe tiny is going to be coming back
16121s	afterwards but goodbye to arieta and
16123s	thank you to her for joining us on the
16125s	desk and hello Kobe how are you doing
16127s	congratulations on your recent win hey
16129s	Ash thank you very much thank
16131s	you um well how are you doing overall
16134s	how's the team feeling after that last W
16137s	I mean it was a pretty wild series to be
16140s	honest yeah feeling great blood pressure
16142s	coming down for sure uh but yeah the
16144s	team is uh the team is very excited as
16146s	you might imagine uh part of part of our
16148s	big thing is is maintaining hype and
16150s	strong mental uh and and just there's so
16152s	much there's so much love and fun and
16154s	you know this this group is so great
16155s	because we just have a blast the whole
16157s	time that they're that they're playing
16158s	together too and obviously our
16159s	compostition kind of lends itself to
16161s	fast and and a lot of yelling in uh in
16163s	VC and and everyone's super excited yeah
16167s	definitely comes out with the hero picks
16168s	that you see in the server for real I
16170s	mean I feel like you can't have those
16172s	types of compositions and not have that
16174s	kind of attitude as a team going going
16176s	into things but a little bit curious
16178s	about the fact that okay everybody knows
16181s	cesty is this insane Mercy one trick
16185s	right but what is it like for the team
16187s	environment as far as how did things
16191s	come together in the sense of being able
16192s	to put that trust into her to be only on
16196s	that Hero at all times and if that was
16198s	something that you kind of had to build
16200s	towards or if it was kind of just like
16202s	okay we just believe in you from the
16204s	get-go uh well I mean it's 100% the
16207s	ladder right I mean she's the best in
16208s	the world of what she does that's that's
16210s	obvious right I mean was that was
16212s	showcased you know loud and clear
16213s	tonight but on top of that it just it it
16215s	it's we I we we always kind of laugh
16218s	internally about the uh the conference
16220s	like what are you going to do with the
16221s	mercy right or you're not going to have
16222s	this Lucio because Lucio Mercy isn't you
16224s	know Lucio is such a staple of the meta
16226s	uh and yet having a mercy player that's
16228s	as strong as guesse is is is an absolute
16230s	asset to the team and from day one we've
16232s	been super excited to cook around it uh
16234s	you'll notice almost all of our comps
16236s	rolve around one extremely strong pocket
16238s	uh that skti can play whether it's we're
16240s	playing a queen comp with barcode on an
16241s	angle and skti has the has the hard
16243s	pocket to allow barol to take ones or
16246s	just absolutely pop off uh and of course
16248s	you know having having a very very
16250s	strong if not one of the most talented
16251s	far players around also kind of helps
16253s	out so um you know we we've leaned into
16256s	it from day one like I said ski is point
16258s	blank the best Mercy in the world and
16259s	what she does and is an asset for the
16261s	team and not a
16262s	detriment absolutely love to hear that
16264s	because you know there is always that
16266s	risk of sometimes there are players that
16268s	can be a little bit skeptical about it
16270s	despite the results despite knowing
16271s	those things just because they're like
16273s	oh it doesn't really fit into you know
16276s	adaptability OverWatch is such a fluid
16278s	game in that kind of sense but it's
16279s	amazing to hear that that trust was just
16282s	there from the beginning and I feel like
16284s	it really does have to be that way from
16286s	the start in that kind of sense but um
16289s	overall on top of that you also have ese
16291s	who while an insane Lucio player looks
16294s	so comfortable flexing around all those
16296s	different supports and I to get your
16299s	thoughts on it too I personally think
16301s	that the Lucio while unconventional to
16304s	be paired with the mercy adds to the
16306s	fact that ski is so good with her
16309s	Mobility on the mercy it kind of just
16310s	adds the extra layer in that kind of
16312s	sense yeah it's great it's a it's an
16314s	unorthodox support comp but it's
16316s	actually very specifically intended uh
16318s	aside from of course SK and Lucio being
16320s	you know being kind of synonymous with
16322s	one another um it it it allows gu's
16325s	movement is so strong
16326s	that it allows the comp to not leave
16328s	anything behind right so when we're
16329s	playing an allout full dive where ski
16331s	andle are in the air eeve is diving a
16333s	backline right it means that we have a
16334s	tracer player on a flank but now all of
16336s	a sudden we're not leaving a support
16337s	player like a BAP or something more
16339s	traditional behind to be walked on and
16340s	we allow es to not also be forced to
16343s	heal by every mode so you have SK doing
16345s	things like going in with the dive
16346s	taking a whole separate angle be
16348s	becoming this whole separate Reddit
16349s	threat in and of herself uh which is
16351s	what she excels at right what she's
16353s	famous for uh and it gives teams fits
16355s	because they just they simply don't know
16356s	what to do right they have nothing to
16357s	walk so much of the of the modern meta
16360s	involves on them being able to ISO and
16361s	walk into something and take a brawl
16363s	whether it's Queen right or Ram instead
16365s	of the fact that they're they're left
16366s	with no really good targets and they
16368s	expend so many of their offensive
16369s	resources defensively that by the time
16371s	they're able to catch up to the fight or
16372s	the fight slows down enough to be able
16374s	to take a fight we have a significant
16375s	Tempo advantage in in our ahead of the
16377s	game so the Lucio Mercy you know while
16379s	it looks a little unorthodox it allows
16381s	you know two of the best support players
16383s	in the game frankly to play the heroes
16384s	they're most comfortable playing uh and
16386s	not only that it's you know from a macro
16388s	perspective it it works super well with
16390s	what we're trying to
16391s	accomplish and do you feel because it is
16394s	so unorthodox in that kind of sense is
16396s	there ever a difficulty in like actually
16398s	focusing on playing your own game
16400s	because of just how unique it is it's a
16404s	good question uh you know it's something
16405s	that this group has worked very hard on
16407s	right and that in order to in order to
16409s	accomplish it we you know the analyst
16411s	just spoke about setups and talking
16413s	about angles and maintaining exactly
16415s	kind of getting the fight that we want
16416s	that we're looking for um but also it
16418s	allows for so much individual values
16420s	that there's so much disruption and
16421s	craziness that the comp causes that it
16424s	we it simply creates a composition that
16425s	plays for so much individual value you
16428s	know even whether it's the front line or
16430s	or ES on a Reddit against a one V1
16432s	against something else right there's so
16433s	much ability to play in and out and so
16435s	much flexibility to play individually
16437s	that you know as long as we have the
16438s	setup that we're looking for and we have
16440s	the engagements in the fight that we
16441s	know we can win that we can engage with
16443s	the advantage as long as we maintain our
16445s	discipline about focusing targets and
16446s	timing our aggression there's never a
16448s	doubt there's never a doubt in our heads
16449s	when we're when we're jumping into a
16451s	fight absolutely love hearing that just
16453s	the the ability to maintain that kind of
16455s	confidence um so consistently and a
16458s	little bit of a fun question here I
16460s	guess I'm curious for you and the team
16463s	were you guys surprised that VT blue
16465s	actually picked Le Jang tower for that
16468s	first map because I think everyone on
16469s	the desk definitely was yeah a little
16472s	bit I mean we have experienced playing
16473s	against VT blue obviously we played
16474s	against them in the lcq um so they're
16476s	they're a strong team we knew coming
16477s	into it um you know I spent some time
16479s	today especially with the team ahead of
16481s	time talking about we expected you know
16483s	we're not a surprise to anyone at this
16484s	point right people people know what
16486s	we're going to roll out on uh literally
16488s	roll out on and uh you know we we had
16490s	some we had some stuff in the bag ready
16491s	to rotate in case kind teams like VT
16493s	blue and other teams that have played us
16495s	in the past have some did some VOD right
16497s	and have some planned adaptabilities for
16499s	us to rotate into so when they pick a
16501s	map like leang right or they come out on
16502s	a comp that's kind of agnostic to ours
16505s	um it's definitely a little surprising
16506s	that we didn't get to maybe take all the
16508s	tools out of the bag that that we were
16509s	hoping to be able to show but we're
16511s	super content to have them for later
16513s	when we need
16513s	them that's that's a really good point
16516s	to be able to just kind of keep that in
16517s	the back pocket and have that kind of
16519s	edge going into any future matches um
16522s	and also one last question sure is there
16525s	a specific team that you as the coach
16528s	are looking forward to seeing your team
16530s	in kenoi play up against here within the
16533s	championship series this weekend wow
16535s	it's that's a that's a great question
16536s	you know I mean I I I I I would say you
16539s	know I my answer might be changed from
16541s	uh from from from wisp tweeting at me
16543s	earlier uh after that i' love i' love
16546s	I'd love to i' love to rematch them and
16548s	show them what's up but you know of
16549s	course I think every team wants the
16550s	limit test right we've had so much
16552s	success and uh I think we would love we
16554s	would love to uh to make a statement and
16556s	uh and do what we could against Timeless
16557s	I think uh not not calling them out by
16559s	any stretch but every team loves the uh
16562s	every team loves the limit test right
16563s	and them being the favorite yeah I think
16565s	we could surpris some people okay okay
16568s	fingers crossed that we get to see that
16570s	that would be a banger of a matchup but
16573s	uh before we go one thank you so much
16575s	for your time to do this interview with
16577s	me and two shout outs thank yous
16579s	anything that you want to say on stream
16580s	while you have the opportunity to
16582s	everybody here uh no I mean you know I I
16585s	I think I think actually you know what I
16586s	say no but I'm I'm going to say yes I
16588s	think that I think our team and our
16589s	success is is is a strong example that
16592s	you know you don't just have to lock in
16594s	The Meta all the time for what you're
16595s	doing and that you know as long as
16597s	you're we we we've turned Comfort picks
16599s	and we've turned uh you know some some
16601s	comfort picks in theory by mixing that
16603s	together and and have found amazing
16604s	success on that and uh you know there
16606s	are no rules to the game and this is
16608s	what makes the game awesome right is
16609s	that you can go out and do stuff like
16610s	this and you know as a coach for us to
16612s	cook something up and then go out and
16614s	succeed on it um you know this is this
16616s	to me is is the game the game at its
16618s	highest at its Pinnacle and and we have
16619s	a blast while we're doing it too so very
16621s	very proud of the team for sure love
16624s	that hopefully it Sparks a little bit of
16627s	motivation for other teams out here
16629s	within calling all heroes to do a little
16630s	bit of that innovating within the server
16633s	but thank you so much kby for doing this
16634s	interview with me and good luck on your
16636s	matches tomorrow thank you thank you for
16638s	having
16639s	me okay now we get to actually bring our
16641s	casters back before we do our little
16643s	close out for the remainder of day one's
16645s	show so we're going to say hello back
16647s	again to CB and Tiny cie I got to get
16651s	your thoughts on that interview with
16652s	Kobe I mean I gotta I gotta shout out
16655s	Kobe for for that one right like the
16656s	guy's a mad scientist right like he's
16659s	just up in the lab cooking up he's got
16660s	the flask he's got the eye of n he's got
16662s	the mercy of skiest he's cooking up
16664s	things that should be frankly illegal
16666s	and he's going to have an entire Village
16668s	being the entire the entirety of the cob
16670s	braacket that remains with the
16672s	pitchforks and the the Torches outside
16674s	his door knocking it down trying to take
16676s	them down a peg but for now they're
16679s	content to just keep playing their game
16681s	it's Comfort picks that make everyone
16682s	else uncomfortable and the other thing
16685s	too is the fact that he's talking a
16687s	little bit about the fact that they had
16688s	some you know tricks in their back
16690s	pocket that they didn't even get to show
16692s	on stream today what are your thoughts
16694s	on that knowing that we might have some
16696s	more surprises for us in the future it
16698s	gives me all the more faith for huichi
16701s	to make a bracket run I mean hey it
16704s	didn't stop them in the lcq we all
16706s	doubted them they ended up in the grand
16709s	finals they ended up qualifying as the
16711s	six seed what's to stop them here if
16713s	they have even more things to pull out
16715s	that could be just as as fantastic if
16717s	not even better from what we've already
16719s	seen from them well the opportunity will
16722s	only continue to go on into day two and
16725s	hopefully three for any kenoi fans out
16728s	there but we also have to look over
16729s	towards how we got here today what the
16732s	the first day ended up panning out and
16734s	it was three O's across the board there
16736s	for that upper quarter final I know we
16739s	expected maybe a couple of those matches
16741s	to be a little bit closer but sweeps
16745s	there for those first matches of the day
16746s	there CB yeah and it was like we said
16749s	all kind of to be expected Timeless
16750s	Celestial versus Vancouver Titans blue
16752s	was the only one that we were kind of
16753s	scratching our heads and be like this
16755s	one can realistically go either way but
16757s	today was just not Vancouver Titans
16760s	Blues day and that really sucks to see
16762s	cuz again they worked so hard from the
16764s	very beginning to get here and get this
16766s	far and they will now join in our isaki
16768s	X10 Goku as two of our lcq teams and two
16772s	of our first teams as well to bow out of
16775s	the story here there are still six who
16777s	have more chapters in their story to
16779s	write from here on out but to those two
16781s	we must bid you
16783s	Ado yes unfortunate to have those
16786s	initial eliminations coming in here for
16789s	day one tiny but now looking at this
16791s	lower bracket we have kenoi and Fable
16795s	the ones moving on and I got to know I
16798s	mean we're looking at that inarizaki
16801s	versus Fable matchup I felt like at the
16803s	beginning of that series that one could
16804s	have gone I way there was definitely the
16807s	potential for that to happen I think at
16809s	the end of the day Fable is the team
16813s	that is more consistent and has this
16816s	higher level of macro planning that
16818s	forced in zaki's single strategy that
16821s	we've really seen from them so far to be
16824s	pretty much irrelevant and it defaulted
16827s	to how much can Persona get done in one
16830s	fight and how can we follow up on that
16832s	how can we give Persona opportunities
16834s	and eventually got to this point where
16835s	where Persona was just absolutely burnt
16837s	out couldn't give us any more left in
16840s	that series and they still had a stellar
16842s	performance throughout all of that and
16845s	at the end it was literally just Fable
16847s	being more consistent and having a
16849s	stable game plan to fall back of if they
16851s	ever needed
16852s	to that's the thing I think we've got to
16855s	consider the fact that this team also in
16858s	inarizaki had not been together all that
16860s	long there were those glimmers of
16862s	Brilliance coming out from them and
16865s	hoping that we get to see them cooking
16867s	into the off season hopefully into the
16870s	future of K and seeing how they can
16872s	continue to push forward in that kind of
16874s	regard but as now we head into tomorrow
16878s	there are going to be a lot more matches
16879s	to come but I got to give a big thank
16882s	you to Tiny shiny and C for joining me
16884s	on the desk it was a pleasure having you
16887s	guys listening to you guys Cass I know
16888s	you'll be back tomorrow and I know
16890s	arietta is not here but a big shout out
16893s	to her as a coach to come on for her
16895s	very first broadcast I think she did
16897s	fantastically I can't wait to hopefully
16899s	see her again in the future to provide
16902s	that analysis for us but thank you guys
16905s	also to everyone at home for watching
16908s	today to radiant for putting on this
16910s	broadcast alongside blizzard for calling
