| 723s | welcome to the overwatch league the |
| 725s | qualifiers are done the wait is over the |
| 727s | summer showdown tournament is finally |
| 729s | going to begin you know what puckett |
| 731s | isn't the only new face on the summer |
| 733s | showdown broadcast we also have the |
| 734s | archbishop of na contenders here in |
| 736s | heurix as well give us your sermon i've |
| 739s | been waiting come on |
| 742s | yeah it's been some time since i've seen |
| 743s | some apac matches that you know started |
| 745s | my career a little bit you know getting |
| 747s | started in korea and china and |
| 748s | everything and since then i've really |
| 751s | i've been invested in a sure but |
| 752s | archbishop may be overselling it i won't |
| 755s | take credit that much yeah i'll let you |
| 757s | live |
| 758s | we can you can move diagonally that's |
| 759s | good i mean that's a lot of different uh |
| 760s | position you go |
| 762s | uh all four directions diagonally so |
| 764s | we'll see how things move on for today |
| 766s | as we have our first round in the double |
| 770s | elimination bracket here you know |
| 771s | guangzhou shanghai dragon soul dynasty |
| 774s | philadelphia fusion our top four from |
| 776s | the eastern division now finally got the |
| 778s | battle out for our third title of the |
| 780s | year so far |
| 782s | yeah this should be awesome to see |
| 783s | because we do seem to have in you know |
| 786s | we have some setup already shanghai |
| 788s | dragons feels like the top squad |
| 790s | obviously number one seat coming in but |
| 792s | you know they only drop the single map |
| 793s | they're gonna be taking on the guangzhou |
| 795s | charge here in our first match but that |
| 797s | second match there i think could be |
| 799s | really entertaining seoul dynasty fusion |
| 801s | there's a lot of questions with regards |
| 803s | to where those teams actually fall right |
| 804s | now after week 18. |
| 807s | and um you know it's getting competitive |
| 809s | out here as well because shanghai |
| 810s | dragons and dynasty they did play so |
| 811s | there was a three and zero but you kind |
| 813s | of feel that dynasty had more to show |
| 814s | but they had more to give and both |
| 816s | dragons and dynasty had kind of that |
| 818s | feeling of having more to show since |
| 820s | we've seen them in the mid season |
| 821s | madness tournament where truth be told |
| 824s | they probably did you know underperform |
| 825s | a little bit they didn't quite perform |
| 826s | up to expectations that we really set |
| 828s | out for them uh but also sort of new to |
| 831s | the tournament stage of the quantum |
| 832s | chart shoot they haven't been in a |
| 834s | tournament since the 2020 season or |
| 836s | season three is two years ago uh the |
| 838s | only surviving member of that squad is |
| 840s | kroll who actually remembers winning the |
| 841s | summer show downstairs he's actually won |
| 843s | the tournament before summer showdown |
| 845s | comes back again charge didn't do so |
| 847s | great last year they didn't do so great |
| 848s | in the first two stages of this year |
| 850s | either here x but now i think they're |
| 852s | making a bit of a comeback |
| 854s | yeah it is interesting that the summer |
| 855s | showdown that they participated in back |
| 857s | then was actually their best performance |
| 858s | that this team has ever had and now here |
| 860s | they are with another opportunity |
| 862s | against i mean realistically the best |
| 864s | team certainly i think the favorite but |
| 866s | you look across this team and i i start |
| 868s | to see some some things that i like |
| 871s | personally you know coming from |
| 872s | contenders i love these kind of rebound |
| 874s | stories i like these stories of |
| 875s | development as well and one that i |
| 878s | really like especially with regards to |
| 879s | rebound is ernie is you know seeing |
| 881s | xerneas come back over and i think fly |
| 884s | under the radar as a truly productive |
| 886s | force for this this squad i think |
| 888s | i certainly seems like a standout to me |
| 892s | yeah i mean i think in their previous |
| 894s | matchup versus the chengdu hunters right |
| 895s | there was a lot of comparison there |
| 896s | because you have a lot of uh members of |
| 898s | the ex chengdu hunter squad of last year |
| 900s | that being zernigas far away and jimmy |
| 902s | kind of outperforming the counterparts |
| 904s | on the other team and you know of those |
| 906s | we always kind of felt like at least in |
| 907s | my opinion and xerneas was a stronger |
| 909s | player compared to nietzsche he got a |
| 910s | lot more game time to competing last |
| 912s | year he was kind of cut from the roster |
| 914s | for other reasons right and now he's had |
| 916s | to make a run through continuously he |
| 918s | joined ultra prime academy which is the |
| 920s | academy team they're going to charge |
| 921s | he's made it back in the overwatch |
| 922s | league to look like one of those top |
| 923s | main supports again or at least on the |
| 925s | trajectory to becoming you know that |
| 927s | sort of play that he was regarded for |
| 929s | last year so look at their opponents |
| 931s | though that's going to charge have quite |
| 933s | the mountain to climb today certainly |
| 935s | not an easy task to go up against the |
| 937s | shanghai dragons at the best of times |
| 938s | and writing champions from 2021 but you |
| 941s | already knew that this team has had all |
| 944s | of you know the wins under the belt that |
| 945s | they needed so far in this qualification |
| 947s | this qualification stage six and zero |
| 949s | haven't dropped a single series they |
| 950s | only dropped by the way |
| 952s | one map and that was to the philly |
| 953s | fusion they actually nearly had a |
| 955s | flawless stage |
| 957s | yeah i mean them in stolen for some |
| 959s | reason fusion just loves to play spoil |
| 960s | to those golden stages but yeah this is |
| 963s | a team |
| 964s | third place finish and kickoff clash i |
| 966s | mean in isolation that feels like a good |
| 967s | result but |
| 968s | it's the shanghai dragons and then you |
| 970s | look at mid-season madness and they had |
| 972s | that exit when they did and it's like |
| 974s | okay |
| 975s | they did go pretty they did do pretty |
| 976s | well but again it's the shanghai dragons |
| 978s | we are expecting more and it finally |
| 980s | feels like now again with that 18-1 map |
| 984s | score not dropping a single set |
| 985s | throughout the entirety of the |
| 986s | qualifiers it feels like the dragons are |
| 989s | back to being the dragons yeah |
| 991s | absolutely i kind of felt like that was |
| 993s | happening in the previous stages as well |
| 994s | like kickoff clash they started slowly |
| 996s | but they sort of got into it by the time |
| 997s | we got to the tournament uh they looked |
| 999s | very strong off the back of most |
| 1001s | importantly who are you which is again i |
| 1002s | think that the key player the spare head |
| 1004s | of this entire team currently in this |
| 1006s | tournament as well uh let's see some |
| 1008s | madness looked a little bit shaky he had |
| 1010s | some good hopes going into the actual |
| 1012s | tournament but you know a lot of that |
| 1013s | wasn't realized and i think with |
| 1014s | shanghai dragons as well they they sort |
| 1016s | of had that realization they got uh you |
| 1019s | know the wake-up call from their exit in |
| 1021s | the mid-season madness tournament and |
| 1023s | and i think they wanted to do better |
| 1024s | they knew they could do better it's been |
| 1025s | a bit of an interesting year for the |
| 1026s | dragons given that they haven't looked |
| 1028s | as dominant as their 2021 selves uh but |
| 1030s | maybe |
| 1031s | now in summer showdown like this has |
| 1033s | been the closest that we've seen to 2021 |
| 1036s | dragons |
| 1037s | yeah it's interesting it's interesting |
| 1039s | to see the kind of scale between both of |
| 1041s | these two teams right where we we know |
| 1043s | the the height of shanghai dragons we |
| 1044s | know what they're capable of obviously |
| 1047s | the the absolute pinnacle of what we |
| 1049s | expect to see in this region but on the |
| 1051s | other side you know of course they're |
| 1053s | kind of going through their growth |
| 1054s | stages but on the other side charge very |
| 1055s | much the same and i think this is a |
| 1057s | question of ceilings here and i think |
| 1058s | we'll probably say that a lot about |
| 1059s | charge going through this tournament |
| 1062s | bracket because look i mean charge they |
| 1064s | didn't start too hot as you mentioned |
| 1066s | earlier on that |
| 1068s | it's it's really about a rebound for |
| 1069s | them wholesale and i think while we |
| 1072s | compare them to a team like dragons do |
| 1074s | they have that kind of height in them |
| 1076s | i'm not sure but potentially down the |
| 1078s | line how do they skill against some of |
| 1079s | these other squads obviously it starts |
| 1081s | here if they could do well here and make |
| 1082s | a statement then i mean all's well will |
| 1085s | be well right for for the charge because |
| 1087s | if you could do it against |
| 1088s | what seems like the best team |
| 1090s | then certainly smooth sailing and going |
| 1092s | forward |
| 1093s | and they weren't even by the way the |
| 1095s | lowest seed coming into this tournament |
| 1097s | i believe they were seeing three right |
| 1098s | they had a four and two record fusion |
| 1099s | came with two and four they are the |
| 1101s | fourth c shanghai being the first seed |
| 1103s | they had choice they had opponent |
| 1105s | selection uh which is the i guess the |
| 1107s | prime benefit of being the first seed |
| 1108s | and they chose the charge over the |
| 1110s | fusion i think that speaks volumes in |
| 1112s | terms of what their preference is they |
| 1114s | being the shanghai dragons here they |
| 1115s | would rather play the shang that rather |
| 1117s | play the charge at four and two um than |
| 1119s | the philly fusion at uh two and four i |
| 1121s | think maybe maybe that's about fusion |
| 1123s | kind of having their own upswing towards |
| 1124s | the end of the qualifier here and fusion |
| 1126s | has been a bit of a bogey team for |
| 1128s | shanghai in the past especially this |
| 1129s | year shanghai probably feels a lot more |
| 1131s | comfortable going up against the the |
| 1133s | charge i mean you look at their match |
| 1134s | history they are currently on a five |
| 1137s | match win history |
| 1138s | uh streak versus the charge which goes |
| 1141s | all the way back to the last time that |
| 1142s | charge actually beat the dragons and |
| 1144s | here's a fun fact your people will |
| 1146s | remember this one it was the summer |
| 1148s | showdown finals in 2020 four and two |
| 1151s | that was from going to charge won their |
| 1153s | first and so far only title and i'm sure |
| 1155s | that many guangzhou players fans and |
| 1157s | everybody attached to guangzhou finally |
| 1158s | remembers that tournament and that time |
| 1160s | and ever since then looking to recreate |
| 1162s | that magic and well this has been the |
| 1163s | closest so far in two years that they've |
| 1165s | had to do that but that was the last |
| 1167s | time that they actually beat the dragons |
| 1169s | all the way back in 2020 summer showdown |
| 1170s | finals |
| 1171s | yeah and i mean just to reiterate as |
| 1173s | well we have to also bring up the fact |
| 1175s | again that |
| 1176s | right after that that was their last |
| 1179s | actual tournament showing realistically |
| 1181s | that they've had since then so i mean it |
| 1183s | has been some time for charge but they |
| 1184s | are on an upswing and a lot of that i |
| 1186s | think can be comprised of the fact that |
| 1188s | they have had this injection of newer |
| 1190s | talent it seems like things are going |
| 1191s | well and again it's just a question of |
| 1193s | where their ceiling is at are they able |
| 1195s | to build up quickly enough off of some |
| 1197s | of their successes in in previous weeks |
| 1199s | in the kind of latter half of the |
| 1202s | qualifier stage to be able to contend |
| 1204s | with a team that has been profoundly |
| 1207s | strong i i think surprisingly to a |
| 1209s | degree but also unsurprising in the fact |
| 1211s | that it is again the shanghai dragons |
| 1213s | and we kind of expect this from them but |
| 1215s | we haven't seen that and now they're |
| 1216s | back in stride but |
| 1218s | charge i think moving into this series |
| 1220s | obviously with the meta as it is and i |
| 1222s | think we're going to have a lot of |
| 1224s | discussions during the map about what |
| 1226s | this method looks like and the the the |
| 1227s | strengths of both of these teams their |
| 1229s | identities as well i think establishing |
| 1231s | that early on is going to be key for |
| 1233s | them because dragons have certainly done |
| 1235s | that especially when you look at their |
| 1236s | roster right because back in mid-season |
| 1239s | madness there was a lot of movement with |
| 1240s | regards to their roster now it feels |
| 1242s | like they're locked in both at the |
| 1243s | roster level and at the compositional |
| 1245s | level and strategy level and that's |
| 1246s | gonna be hard to contend with yeah both |
| 1248s | teams are feeling locked in as far as |
| 1250s | the rosters goes we'll be getting to |
| 1252s | match very shortly but for now you know |
| 1253s | as we sort of wait for map one to begin |
| 1255s | and also take a look at our map set as |
| 1257s | well uh and we're also into the sort of |
| 1259s | stage where teams can pick and choose |
| 1260s | maps |
| 1261s | after they do lose them |
| 1263s | it's been |
| 1264s | three zero three zero the last two games |
| 1266s | that dragons have had against the wonder |
| 1268s | charge a single map given away uh there |
| 1271s | was a more contentious game at the start |
| 1273s | of the year that was in kickoff clash |
| 1274s | regular season it was week four charge |
| 1276s | got two maps off of the dragons so they |
| 1278s | had been at least a little bit more back |
| 1279s | and forth even this year even with the |
| 1281s | prior charge roster before they're |
| 1283s | rebuilding coming into this particular |
| 1285s | tournament so there may be a little bit |
| 1286s | of hope there uh and and you talk about |
| 1288s | ceilings right that's going to be a bit |
| 1290s | of a topic for us in terms of how far |
| 1292s | can the charge go because uh we've seen |
| 1294s | some of these other teams at their peaks |
| 1296s | we know how good they have been how good |
| 1298s | they are uh with the charge i feel like |
| 1299s | there's still a little bit more to show |
| 1301s | they did go down as mentioned on three |
| 1302s | versus dragons this qualifies stage as |
| 1305s | well with jimmy with xerneas |
| 1307s | but |
| 1308s | maybe they've improved since then maybe |
| 1309s | there's a little bit more there because |
| 1310s | they started to get a lot more |
| 1311s | comfortable towards the end of the |
| 1313s | qualification stage that's when they got |
| 1315s | some of their better wins over their joe |
| 1317s | compatriots in hangzhou as well which is |
| 1319s | a very important game for them um and |
| 1321s | four and two i mean that's easily been |
| 1322s | their best record for some time so you |
| 1324s | know the question will be what is the |
| 1326s | ceiling of charge and what even is a |
| 1329s | marker of success here obviously |
| 1331s | breeding drags will be nice but if they |
| 1332s | even take maps off dragons does that |
| 1334s | mean success |
| 1336s | yeah i mean it certainly feels like that |
| 1338s | that has to be the case because not many |
| 1340s | teams have really done it again really |
| 1341s | only the fusion have done it because if |
| 1344s | they have some weird knack at just |
| 1345s | playing spoiler i'm not sure what what |
| 1347s | it is about the fusion and i think |
| 1348s | that's probably a key to why i like to |
| 1351s | give them |
| 1354s | it's all about the hopium but look i |
| 1356s | mean dragons they certainly they made a |
| 1359s | decision here they went for guangzhou i |
| 1360s | think a lot of that comes into the fact |
| 1362s | that as much as there is an unknown |
| 1364s | quantity about guangzhou charge there's |
| 1366s | also the fact that they are somewhat of |
| 1368s | a known entity you know what you're |
| 1369s | getting there obviously the the height |
| 1372s | the ceiling that's the major question |
| 1374s | and concern that i think we're gonna be |
| 1376s | looking at but throughout i think |
| 1378s | certainly guangzhou makes sense to |
| 1380s | shanghai and i'm looking to see shanghai |
| 1382s | really settle in here |
| 1385s | oasis first up for |
| 1387s | the map series here chosen by the |
| 1388s | shanghai dragons it's the highest scene |
| 1390s | and the following match will be chosen |
| 1391s | by the loser |
| 1392s | i don't know if there's going to be any |
| 1394s | particular map preferences i mean |
| 1396s | paradiso is obviously in the pool and |
| 1399s | some teams have preferred that |
| 1400s | especially the teams that will enjoy |
| 1402s | playing the dorado but herrick's here we |
| 1403s | go finally we are beginning the game our |
| 1405s | first official match |
| 1408s | a map starting in the summer showdown |
| 1410s | tournament again the qualifiers are over |
| 1413s | the tournament begins |
| 1414s | there's gonna be city center here |
| 1416s | everyone playing exactly what you would |
| 1418s | expect don't get better by the who are |
| 1420s | you echo it's gonna be standard jokes |
| 1423s | yeah definitely gonna be exactly what |
| 1425s | we're gonna see probably through and |
| 1426s | through there might be a couple of |
| 1427s | little |
| 1428s | changes that we do see probably more at |
| 1430s | the dps level than any if anything at |
| 1432s | all but already out of the gates look to |
| 1434s | see where these shout cooldowns get used |
| 1436s | that's the primary indicator of who's |
| 1437s | gonna have tempo control in these fights |
| 1441s | and also you have to look at you know |
| 1442s | the early damage being done there as |
| 1443s | well specifically onto cronks or zuni is |
| 1445s | getting low jimmy copping a bit of hate |
| 1447s | you talk about early shout usage once |
| 1448s | already come through from the charge and |
| 1450s | immediately trade jimmy for easy yaki |
| 1452s | it's still a four versus four scenario |
| 1454s | but they're healing a little bit better |
| 1455s | on the charge off the back of that |
| 1456s | choice a1 will execute who are you and |
| 1458s | that typically will be enough for me who |
| 1460s | are you down it's a pretty big deal |
| 1461s | that's still alive though can be a bit |
| 1463s | of an issue saved by the shot their |
| 1464s | choice want to believe went down to |
| 1465s | something like one hp really really |
| 1467s | close call white is still not yet over |
| 1469s | the cap is open no one really has an |
| 1471s | advantage |
| 1473s | looks like shanghai dragons looking for |
| 1475s | that early contestant charge not gonna |
| 1477s | let this one go you can see krong |
| 1478s | working that angle trying to get a flank |
| 1480s | open for his team while lip is getting |
| 1483s | pressed |
| 1484s | ooh four hp and it gets the hedgehog |
| 1486s | destroyed and detroit that should be the |
| 1488s | start now of dragons walking forward |
| 1490s | further executions who are you on |
| 1492s | towards jimmy and the fight is all but |
| 1494s | done lip living on four hb what's |
| 1496s | everything in there i mean if lip dies |
| 1498s | and troy gets the kill and said it could |
| 1499s | have been a very different fight dragons |
| 1501s | the first ones camping |
| 1503s | yeah i definitely think for the dragons |
| 1504s | it kind of was bookended by lips |
| 1506s | performance there right like equalizing |
| 1508s | that opening pick that |
| 1510s | lip got initially with the head shot |
| 1511s | from the railgun then also just finding |
| 1513s | that kill in the choice of one i think |
| 1515s | completely shut that fight down so |
| 1517s | obviously i respect the lip for getting |
| 1519s | the job done for his team because |
| 1520s | otherwise that could have gone horribly |
| 1522s | awry for a team that is looking to |
| 1524s | dominate i think this series and they're |
| 1526s | going to be dominating at least in terms |
| 1528s | of old charge here who are you up to |
| 1529s | jimmy but lips already copy overclock i |
| 1531s | mean this fight should all be done in |
| 1532s | dust as early as not even closer to pop |
| 1534s | the sound there i don't think he would |
| 1535s | have done that anyway given already |
| 1537s | losing players on mark there's a bit of |
| 1539s | a canyon of a damage difference between |
| 1541s | lip and jimmy so far also a uh a life |
| 1544s | difference given that lip is one of |
| 1546s | three players on the dragons they |
| 1547s | haven't actually died it's a lip void |
| 1548s | legit gone and zero deaths jimmy's died |
| 1550s | three times he's been a bit of a target |
| 1552s | and lip is exceeding damage above jimmy |
| 1554s | by about 1.9 k it's interesting too that |
| 1557s | jimmy is the target don't often see |
| 1558s | sojourns being the primary go-to target |
| 1560s | but jimmy's playing a little bit |
| 1561s | aggressively here and he might be caught |
| 1562s | again |
| 1564s | there's double sound barriers coming on |
| 1566s | through but choice one's played will |
| 1567s | catch lit before each one can save it so |
| 1569s | that is to be uh the time that will make |
| 1571s | a bit of a difference here five versus |
| 1572s | four we talked about was deathless for |
| 1575s | this stage and in terms of being alive |
| 1577s | in this map and that will finally go |
| 1578s | down |
| 1579s | a later rally from easy i could be |
| 1581s | popped to match far away but another |
| 1583s | player down i believe far away might |
| 1584s | have even got the boot kill to lead you |
| 1585s | gone so that's a five to three |
| 1587s | continuing one always even with dragons |
| 1589s | respawning lips back in the fight but |
| 1590s | who won't use that instantly krong |
| 1592s | cleaning up the rest of the members it |
| 1593s | should be the foot coming on through |
| 1595s | very shortly dragons might exceed 90 but |
| 1597s | they will lose the fight |
| 1600s | shanghai dragons fall into the wayside |
| 1601s | but the good news here for the dragons |
| 1603s | is that they made that sustain happen |
| 1605s | for so long i mean obviously a kind of |
| 1608s | later rally from izayaki |
| 1610s | certainly not enough to keep lip up |
| 1611s | right but dragons they certainly feel |
| 1614s | good about what they got there they got |
| 1615s | the score up to 95 now it's all about |
| 1617s | getting into that building stage |
| 1618s | certainly you don't want to have picks |
| 1619s | like that go out you're giving away |
| 1621s | economy to the enemy charge |
| 1624s | it's very much a different story for |
| 1625s | them while they're obviously trying to |
| 1627s | prevent dragons from turning things they |
| 1629s | also have to make sure that they remain |
| 1631s | efficient in their economy here more |
| 1632s | than anything on top of the timings with |
| 1634s | the shouts and trying not to overextend |
| 1636s | because you know lift can find ahead |
| 1639s | i don't know if this will be over |
| 1640s | extension or not but it will be |
| 1641s | aggression being shown by the charge |
| 1643s | dragons don't actually really want to |
| 1644s | buy this boy being hit by the rampage |
| 1646s | isn't going to respond with his own |
| 1647s | obviously no support ultimates on board |
| 1649s | for either team here is going to be at |
| 1650s | least one punish out from isiaki this is |
| 1653s | the dangerous part for charging we talk |
| 1654s | about it could it be over extension now |
| 1656s | it does start to really look like it |
| 1657s | jimmy wants you to save the raid but |
| 1658s | he's got a healing he's on below half hp |
| 1661s | and this is going to be a cleaner bit |
| 1662s | too often it's used by the charge and |
| 1664s | dragons walk away with the fight with |
| 1666s | and they're at 95 so once they flip this |
| 1668s | one charge to come back immediately |
| 1670s | cron's on the ball |
| 1672s | i started to wonder here if choice of |
| 1673s | one can even touch and in fact he goes |
| 1674s | down so now they don't even have the |
| 1676s | genji they don't have to touch along |
| 1677s | with it and 150 there for the dragons |
| 1679s | getting an early lead |
| 1681s | i think partially as expected but charge |
| 1684s | looked good there there were some great |
| 1685s | moments obviously caught overextended |
| 1687s | just a little bit towards the spawn |
| 1688s | trying to get a little bit more value |
| 1690s | than they really deserved to get at |
| 1692s | certain stages and dragons they're just |
| 1694s | not a team that's going to let that fly |
| 1696s | yeah i mean it's not uncommon that we |
| 1697s | see |
| 1698s | uh you know spawn camps happen i think |
| 1700s | maybe it's a little bit rare in oasis i |
| 1702s | don't know if it happens a little more a |
| 1704s | little bit more often in |
| 1705s | a can tinders from what you've seen but |
| 1707s | uh you know it's very risky on some maps |
| 1710s | and on some portions to go for that kind |
| 1711s | of play krong diving in with the team |
| 1713s | they at least got the one kill but they |
| 1714s | failed to get anything afterwards |
| 1716s | dragons could just go back and spawn get |
| 1718s | their health back in re-aggress get a |
| 1720s | couple of punishers and just entirely |
| 1722s | turn that so for charge they were |
| 1724s | looking for a lot there but they didn't |
| 1725s | get too much done |
| 1728s | loving the aggression still though with |
| 1729s | charge i mean you see choice of one |
| 1731s | really taking some of that forward |
| 1733s | position away getting space for his team |
| 1735s | allowing them to take up the high ground |
| 1737s | that's good for charge that means they |
| 1739s | are still confident in this matchup |
| 1741s | which is huge for them |
| 1743s | these are gone now gonna be the first |
| 1744s | target so we had dragons got a losing |
| 1746s | remember early on city center that will |
| 1748s | happen again but this time charge do not |
| 1749s | lose any further members of their own |
| 1751s | which likely will end up in a pretty |
| 1752s | clean |
| 1754s | sweep of kills krong staying alive very |
| 1757s | important for the guangdong charge |
| 1759s | struggling to maybe get further than a |
| 1760s | couple kills here but uh they'll at |
| 1762s | least get the cap that's the important |
| 1763s | thing for the charge you know they might |
| 1764s | not get the full cleanup but they will |
| 1766s | start with a percentage |
| 1768s | establishing yourself early on after the |
| 1770s | neutral fight is huge i think a lot of |
| 1771s | that really kind of feeds into what we |
| 1773s | were talking about already with choice |
| 1774s | of one getting a lot of |
| 1776s | forward position taken away from the |
| 1778s | dragons to get stuck into these spots |
| 1780s | where they can get aoe pressured down |
| 1781s | that's where the carnage really comes |
| 1783s | alive as well for players like chrome |
| 1786s | oh boy's on a bit of uh hp |
| 1788s | deficit at the moment compared to his |
| 1789s | counterpart in particular zones looking |
| 1791s | for a plentiful number of boots who are |
| 1792s | you just flying back on shanghai dragons |
| 1795s | for the most part have been allowed to |
| 1796s | freely rotate on the high ground what |
| 1798s | can i do with that a little bit of |
| 1799s | damage and choice one has been healed |
| 1800s | look at folks now troy importantly has a |
| 1802s | blade coming online it might just be a |
| 1804s | beating player engage |
| 1805s | dj god has to sound very nearly ajax |
| 1808s | someone has to be very careful very low |
| 1809s | hp responded to by xerneas no for the |
| 1812s | ultimates from the dragon just because |
| 1813s | they've got nothing to use he's yaki |
| 1814s | likely to go down here it's not a choice |
| 1816s | with two in the fight and the dragons |
| 1818s | just have to give it up the timings |
| 1819s | we're just slightly off lip was just |
| 1821s | slightly off from the overclock who are |
| 1823s | you 25 away from the blade izaki i think |
| 1825s | it's just percentage points away from |
| 1826s | the rally and the slight ultimate |
| 1828s | difference from the charge will be |
| 1829s | enough |
| 1830s | i think at least for the dragons here |
| 1832s | obviously staring down the barrel of 60 |
| 1835s | for the charge you start to wonder okay |
| 1837s | was there at least a silver lining there |
| 1838s | and i think there was and the fact that |
| 1839s | xerneas did pop the sound barrier just |
| 1841s | to help bolster the blade now that's one |
| 1844s | defensive utility that you don't have to |
| 1846s | worry about moving forward at least |
| 1847s | before you have the opportunity to get a |
| 1849s | flip it was feeling like a big blade |
| 1851s | engage for me as well as just thinking |
| 1852s | that you're looking at |
| 1854s | how much it was going to cost the charge |
| 1855s | to be able to secure that one but they |
| 1857s | have 80 percent |
| 1858s | little pop the overclocker who are you |
| 1860s | that suddenly get the damage done he's |
| 1861s | got two on his own call it three as |
| 1863s | shanghai dragons could even pull the |
| 1864s | play if they want to but everyone's dead |
| 1866s | so no need for it three out of the five |
| 1868s | kills there the overclock didn't end up |
| 1870s | being a fact it doesn't need to be |
| 1872s | allows the dragon shanghai dragons to |
| 1873s | walk on forward and four they go 90 for |
| 1876s | the charge though is a very strong lead |
| 1879s | i think though dragons have the capacity |
| 1881s | to turn this around though right because |
| 1882s | you have the blade there's a rally there |
| 1884s | for far away and they're gonna you have |
| 1886s | to try to try to layer both the rally |
| 1889s | and the shout probably just to stay |
| 1891s | alive talk about considering okay what |
| 1893s | kind of lethality can you get out of a |
| 1894s | blade typically not much in this meta |
| 1897s | but it's who are you i think they're |
| 1898s | gonna need both of those resources to |
| 1900s | get through this offensive pressure that |
| 1902s | they're about to see and i'm also |
| 1904s | looking at the tanks here as well |
| 1905s | because we're getting towards rampage |
| 1906s | territory and uh that obviously comes in |
| 1908s | a little bit late on a control map and |
| 1910s | for boyd it might not come at all in |
| 1911s | this fight jimmy's just deleted him who |
| 1913s | is a difficult choice to make and he |
| 1915s | will choose to still go for the blade |
| 1917s | he's gonna try and make the hero play |
| 1918s | happen but he's just shut down i don't |
| 1919s | know if that was the correct call from |
| 1921s | who are you it's like basically 2v5 |
| 1923s | chimney pulls an overclock it's a lot of |
| 1924s | damage the shanghai dragon is now left |
| 1926s | one thing five percent left to go for |
| 1928s | the touch and charge in position to |
| 1930s | equalize here on oasis map number one a |
| 1932s | charge |
| 1933s | touch a touch from the dragons rather |
| 1935s | will come through in time |
| 1936s | can they keep it going though barely |
| 1938s | literally gone has been really sneaky |
| 1940s | about it there is still a rampage |
| 1942s | teacher was finally taken down by jimmy |
| 1944s | and is there more is there more from the |
| 1946s | shanghai dragons in the extremities of |
| 1948s | the spikes jimmy which are gone so far |
| 1950s | blade deleting who are you rampage |
| 1953s | coming through both sides cronkite choi |
| 1954s | being hit big time so we talked about |
| 1956s | the trailer rampage dragons have |
| 1958s | actually come through despite losing who |
| 1959s | are you |
| 1960s | one of the big things there too is krong |
| 1962s | was backed out of the fight so shanghai |
| 1964s | dragons had their junker queen whereas |
| 1967s | charge did not looks like this is gonna |
| 1969s | be a flip here for the dragons they're |
| 1970s | gonna get back into the swing of things |
| 1972s | and they've at least to a degree reset |
| 1974s | the economy which is important for them |
| 1976s | because they have still a mountain to |
| 1978s | climb in some of this score percentage |
| 1980s | to be able to find a way through and |
| 1983s | maybe still get a 2o and i think one of |
| 1985s | the big things here is utilization of |
| 1987s | these supports we see some of that |
| 1988s | layering already happening in this |
| 1990s | series between those resources |
| 1992s | shanghai dragons have to be efficient |
| 1994s | more than anything |
| 1996s | that was looked like it was signed |
| 1997s | sealed and delivered for the guangzhou |
| 1998s | church to take us to a desired |
| 2000s | university |
| 2001s | we might still yet go to university will |
| 2003s | take a lot more effort now and despite |
| 2005s | going to a charge starting well in that |
| 2006s | fight |
| 2007s | couldn't quite continue and convert on |
| 2009s | the further members of once more choices |
| 2011s | one will get who are you down it's the |
| 2013s | first half of the shanghai dragon sound |
| 2015s | comes through regardless it is the final |
| 2016s | fight both teams equalizing that |
| 2018s | regarding the act with the actual rally |
| 2019s | far away doesn't quite have it yet can |
| 2021s | that be enough left onto overclock as |
| 2023s | well jimmy's already dead this is going |
| 2025s | to be equalization while you're coming |
| 2026s | back from with two jagged blade finds |
| 2029s | both how is that even happening goes to |
| 2030s | charge |
| 2031s | four versus three low hp on the support |
| 2034s | line the dragons have only got who are |
| 2035s | you left so we talk about equalizing |
| 2037s | going to university charge look like |
| 2039s | they'll make that happen |
| 2041s | nice little cherry on top as well for |
| 2042s | krog three jagged blade kills there in a |
| 2045s | single fight and you can see there |
| 2047s | another pick on to lift just at the very |
| 2049s | end obviously doesn't mean much but a |
| 2051s | lot of the picks that we're seeing from |
| 2052s | charge have meant so much more than that |
| 2055s | i mean charge consistently finding some |
| 2057s | of these opening picks against the |
| 2059s | dragons a team that generally seems very |
| 2061s | composed in some of these pre-fights |
| 2063s | some of these rotational plays even in |
| 2065s | neutral engagements as well |
| 2067s | charge have found a way to catch dragons |
| 2070s | out which is something that we don't say |
| 2072s | really often |
| 2074s | my goodness |
| 2076s | really making this one competitive today |
| 2078s | as let's take a look |
| 2080s | this could be the double jacket blade |
| 2082s | kill coming through it just goes through |
| 2083s | both i mean |
| 2085s | collette with the plate take those |
| 2087s | two low players lined up for you a third |
| 2090s | one as you sort of mentioned |
| 2092s | yeah i mean that's the kind of heroics |
| 2093s | you want to see out of krong but also |
| 2095s | choice of one taking who are you down |
| 2097s | right off the rep but who are you i |
| 2098s | think did twice in a row at the |
| 2100s | beginning of two fights |
| 2101s | really hurts the dragons chances of |
| 2104s | making a deep run in that particular |
| 2105s | fight i mean given that they still |
| 2107s | really made a competitive dragons |
| 2108s | looking pretty hot for a while when lip |
| 2110s | called the overclock and now maybe one |
| 2112s | of these two genji's it's gonna be troy |
| 2113s | on you |
| 2115s | again can't be having that happening |
| 2117s | there obviously a lot of just kind of |
| 2119s | latent pressure being applied to both |
| 2120s | genjis but the shanghai dragons firing |
| 2122s | back now after losing their genji they |
| 2124s | go ahead and take away the junker queen |
| 2126s | that's an advantage |
| 2129s | certainly an advantage for now exactly |
| 2130s | falling though kind of equalize in terms |
| 2132s | of george playing your numbers both the |
| 2135s | gears will fall joy has just been you |
| 2137s | know he's been a part of every single |
| 2138s | one of these kills he's been him on the |
| 2140s | kill fee final blows coming on in |
| 2143s | so point is open no one's really taking |
| 2145s | advantage of that just yet charge first |
| 2147s | ones on said point 5v5 to come through |
| 2150s | so a lot of early skirmishing in terms |
| 2151s | of players down charged with the cap but |
| 2153s | all players have arrived |
| 2156s | cheering on dragons really would like to |
| 2158s | have gotten a little bit more value out |
| 2159s | of that krong pick find the kills onto |
| 2161s | jimmy and choi extend this a little bit |
| 2163s | out so that he can get control but |
| 2164s | instead charge somehow find a way back |
| 2166s | and you can see the flank coming in from |
| 2168s | boyd trying to work that off angle |
| 2172s | that's going to be the shanghai dragons |
| 2173s | you know popping the early ultimates |
| 2174s | look at the support line of the charge |
| 2176s | they don't quite have anything to match |
| 2177s | with just yet it's the extra tempo beat |
| 2180s | from dj gotten boyd walking forward with |
| 2182s | full confidence major carnage swing and |
| 2184s | despite troy having a advantage on the |
| 2187s | blade no opportunity to use that in that |
| 2188s | last fight |
| 2191s | i think charge have certainly |
| 2193s | relied a little bit on choi getting some |
| 2195s | of those first picks deleting who are |
| 2197s | you from the equation entirely taking |
| 2199s | him out and the blades have also been |
| 2201s | very consistently lethal in a meta where |
| 2204s | there's so many defensive utilities to |
| 2206s | prevent that lethality but charge still |
| 2208s | find a will still find a way it's all |
| 2209s | about baiting some of these cooldowns |
| 2211s | out they've already got the sound |
| 2212s | barrier he could get through a rally for |
| 2213s | sure and now joy can come on through |
| 2215s | easy if he dies here we'll be over two |
| 2217s | supports down dragons no responses here |
| 2219s | who are you not even gonna pull through |
| 2221s | the hero blade this time around a five |
| 2223s | and zero wipe for the charge and off the |
| 2224s | blade alone as one me was two support |
| 2227s | ultimate shelved away for a rainy day |
| 2228s | and they even got the extra rally from |
| 2230s | izaki |
| 2231s | yeah that's probably the most important |
| 2233s | aspect is that now they're way ahead in |
| 2235s | economy or at least for now to be able |
| 2237s | to continue this progression that they |
| 2240s | have all they have to worry about at |
| 2242s | this stage is making sure that they |
| 2243s | don't get picked out by whoever you were |
| 2245s | lit |
| 2247s | now this is charged once again going |
| 2248s | close to dragon spawn not quite there |
| 2250s | though and even though they're not quite |
| 2252s | there troy maybe he was a little bit too |
| 2254s | far forward lip gets the punishment here |
| 2256s | a lot more ultimates being thrown in |
| 2257s | this void three-man rampage i mean it's |
| 2259s | looking good but |
| 2261s | still waiting to get a couple more picks |
| 2262s | in here it's taking a long time this is |
| 2264s | where the double support offense of the |
| 2265s | charge really come into fact that who |
| 2267s | are you now that the cleat and the rally |
| 2269s | have dissipated just looking for the |
| 2270s | flags they aren't quite getting it done |
| 2272s | so far now we got following down chrome |
| 2274s | summer falls off the map and it's still |
| 2276s | fairly even you'd like to have seen the |
| 2277s | opportunity to use that rampage that's |
| 2279s | gonna be the case |
| 2281s | shanghai dragons eventually will come |
| 2282s | out of here you'll notice that choi also |
| 2283s | came back on the tracer but it doesn't |
| 2285s | really help shanghai dragons they get |
| 2287s | the initial punish of detroit and they |
| 2289s | continue the fight it takes a while to |
| 2290s | get the win |
| 2291s | i think the probably most pivotal part |
| 2293s | of that fight the fact that krong just |
| 2295s | fell off the side of the map obviously |
| 2296s | yeah rampage would be huge but also just |
| 2298s | the presence of a junker queen when you |
| 2300s | have that chaotic breakdown in the fight |
| 2302s | where you are gonna be going you know |
| 2303s | three v three four v three three before |
| 2305s | whatever it may be you need the junker |
| 2307s | queen to be that pillar and they're also |
| 2309s | gonna need lee jae gone on the other |
| 2310s | side both lucio's already dead okay well |
| 2313s | left just gonna have to save the day now |
| 2314s | they've actually done a ton of damage |
| 2315s | who are you still gonna get done despite |
| 2317s | losing legion god who are you up for a |
| 2319s | 5k the eight's available now stolen by |
| 2321s | lip but they'll get the fight when |
| 2322s | that's the important thing for the |
| 2323s | shanghai dragons what was that coming |
| 2325s | through as charge popped in the extra |
| 2328s | rampage they got the opening picker so |
| 2330s | it looks like they have everything going |
| 2331s | for them while you just says no |
| 2333s | look at the timing of this too both |
| 2335s | support also the exact position that |
| 2336s | charge were in earlier now dragons are |
| 2338s | in but they're much higher on the score |
| 2340s | line there 80 percent so they can extend |
| 2342s | this fight out where charge have to kind |
| 2344s | of build have to be careful here and i |
| 2346s | think dragons if i was them i would play |
| 2348s | this aggressively as soon as charge |
| 2350s | comes in make that pivot make that |
| 2352s | rotation with both of your supports and |
| 2353s | just cancel this one out well one of |
| 2355s | them's gone that's one support ultimate |
| 2357s | off the table easy he should be |
| 2358s | pressured now his fighter fight terry |
| 2360s | treats the dragon it's gonna do so much |
| 2361s | to hold on before the rally must be |
| 2362s | popped and there it is still some low hp |
| 2365s | on charge though dragons they get troy |
| 2367s | down strong survive through it should be |
| 2369s | now with the overclock |
| 2370s | for targets he did actually |
| 2372s | connect to the floyd but white survives |
| 2373s | on whatever that is critical for the |
| 2375s | dragon success because now lee jungle |
| 2377s | comes in with the sound bearing it's |
| 2378s | looking healthy for the dragons charge |
| 2380s | i've fallen by the laying side so many |
| 2382s | players though so many players down who |
| 2384s | are you pause the blade and that will be |
| 2385s | the blade that sends the charge down on |
| 2388s | the first map dragons lock it up they do |
| 2390s | lose that guardians but they will secure |
| 2392s | oasis |
| 2394s | i mean come on easily one of the most |
| 2396s | dominant teams coming into this |
| 2397s | tournament especially in clutch moments |
| 2399s | you look back to their last series that |
| 2401s | they had and really defined by clutch |
| 2403s | moments i think |
| 2405s | predominantly and you look now at what |
| 2407s | we're seeing here and guacho charge had |
| 2409s | some pleasantly surprising moments i |
| 2411s | think choi sawan had honestly some of |
| 2414s | the best genji play that i've personally |
| 2416s | seen obviously you know coming into this |
| 2418s | i had my expectations between who are |
| 2420s | you and choi and it feels like choice is |
| 2423s | doing a lot for the charge really |
| 2424s | establishing presents really making sure |
| 2426s | that they're taking space away from the |
| 2428s | dragons putting them in uncomfortable |
| 2430s | positions and i think a lot of that |
| 2431s | comes from the head of the spear and i |
| 2433s | think in a lot of ways that's joy |
| 2436s | and despite krong being the longest |
| 2437s | serving member on the charge it does |
| 2438s | feel like choice juan has been the |
| 2440s | franchise player leading the squad for |
| 2442s | quite some time now over the course of |
| 2444s | two years in charge they made oasis |
| 2446s | competitive couldn't quite get the win |
| 2447s | it will be their map choice coming up |
| 2449s | next but we are gonna take a quick break |
| 2450s | when we come back map number two of our |
| 2452s | opening series the summer showdown |
| 2453s | tournament will be here |
| 2456s | [Music] |
| 2468s | it's |
| 2477s | [Music] |
| 2541s | [Music] |
| 2550s | [Music] |
| 2575s | [Music] |
| 2620s | [Music] |

| 2669s | [Music] |
| 2680s | so |
| 2686s | [Music] |
| 2691s | [Music] |
| 2695s | an intense first showing here from |
| 2697s | charge and shanghai dragons in our |
| 2698s | opening match of the summer showdown |
| 2700s | tournament as uh if that was a lot |
| 2702s | closer than we probably expected here |
| 2704s | here x given that oasis went to all |
| 2707s | three rounds and not a single hundred to |
| 2709s | zero found within any of those uh i |
| 2711s | think we had like you know 80 plus |
| 2713s | percent on both teams for almost every |
| 2715s | single round and even on the first one |
| 2717s | you know charge got 50 so charge are |
| 2719s | doing probably a lot better than people |
| 2720s | gave them credit for |
| 2722s | yeah i think i'm just gonna say it |
| 2724s | they're doing better than i even gave |
| 2725s | them credit for coming into this and i |
| 2727s | think we need to start maybe |
| 2728s | reevaluating our expectations i mean |
| 2730s | coming into this we already did know |
| 2731s | that the only two losses this team even |
| 2734s | really had at four and two were i mean |
| 2736s | kind of the expected two best teams |
| 2738s | coming into this they had a great |
| 2740s | turnaround since injecting some of that |
| 2741s | newer talent coming in and maybe this |
| 2743s | was kind of written on the wall all all |
| 2746s | along and we're only just seeing kind of |
| 2748s | the impacts now that we're seeing them |
| 2749s | up against what is expected to be the |
| 2751s | best team or at least |
| 2753s | what is the expected best team right |
| 2756s | yeah and while as far as expected best |
| 2758s | team goes they do actually when that |
| 2759s | first map still so as far as the |
| 2761s | scoreline is looked at |
| 2763s | all par for the calls for the shanghai |
| 2765s | dragons as we head into map number two |
| 2766s | this one is uh the choice of the quantum |
| 2769s | charge |
| 2770s | and uh spoilers it is going to be hybrid |
| 2772s | midtown has been selected here we'll see |
| 2775s | how things go noting that on the charge |
| 2777s | side of of of gameplay choi has been the |
| 2779s | standout he's been a stand-up for some |
| 2781s | time i would have said that he's been a |
| 2782s | standout on the team for two years |
| 2783s | running now but in this meta it is a |
| 2785s | genji meta this guy was playing the |
| 2787s | genji even last year in various |
| 2789s | situations where genji wasn't considered |
| 2791s | that good and now when against overwatch |
| 2792s | 2 and genji is amazing joy is showing us |
| 2795s | value and especially against some of the |
| 2797s | top tier games we have in the world |
| 2799s | where again personally consider who are |
| 2800s | you to be the number one genji and some |
| 2802s | of that value gets shown and how clutch |
| 2804s | he has been and how strong his |
| 2806s | performance mechanically in the neutral |
| 2807s | has been but troy getting a number of |
| 2809s | those first blood specifically onto who |
| 2811s | are you has been a tipping point |
| 2813s | yeah i think that's been the most |
| 2814s | interesting thing here for me at least |
| 2816s | is seeing that there's obviously a |
| 2819s | very |
| 2820s | high amount of influence that these |
| 2823s | genjis have in this region specifically |
| 2826s | you look at you know my wheelhouse |
| 2828s | talking about na talk about eu i mean |
| 2830s | there's obviously a lot of focus on brig |
| 2832s | there's obviously a lot of focus on the |
| 2834s | junker queen as well but it feels like |
| 2836s | between these two teams it is certainly |
| 2838s | a battle of the genjis who are you i |
| 2840s | don't know how much you buy into the you |
| 2841s | know the whole uh you know hairpin thing |
| 2844s | the power up that vicky was talking |
| 2846s | about last week but who are you |
| 2848s | very solid genji obviously one of the |
| 2850s | best if not i mean you can make the |
| 2852s | argument that he is the best genji but |
| 2854s | right now it feels like choi is battling |
| 2857s | that out in a big way and shanghai |
| 2858s | dragons already working their way |
| 2860s | through i'm questioning can who are you |
| 2861s | stay alive against choi are they going |
| 2863s | to find him again |
| 2864s | we'll see if they can make the rotation |
| 2865s | happen first and foremost couple of |
| 2867s | dragons members are kind of caught out |
| 2869s | here in the open |
| 2870s | and if while he was indeed the best well |
| 2872s | troy can't be that far behind especially |
| 2874s | in this fight now joining us on to avoid |
| 2876s | and joining one |
| 2877s | and then ej gone dragons get cleaned up |
| 2880s | there's gonna be a five zero cleanup |
| 2881s | that looks like lit might have to get |
| 2882s | out with his life i don't think charge |
| 2884s | will chase further for this but i do |
| 2886s | like to see that as dragons try and push |
| 2888s | on through for the rotation charge and |
| 2890s | decept straight away |
| 2892s | so much of this charge team seems so |
| 2895s | centered around the genji and i think a |
| 2896s | lot of the teams in this region |
| 2898s | certainly feel the same about their |
| 2899s | player in that role but charger just |
| 2901s | getting so much value out of getting |
| 2903s | someone low like lip like who are you |
| 2905s | right now and then executing so fast |
| 2908s | that there's no possible way that |
| 2909s | shanghai dragons can actually react to |
| 2911s | it |
| 2912s | 12 years now very critical one hp taken |
| 2914s | down by xerneas they swarmed the boss |
| 2917s | and is there gonna be any response i |
| 2918s | mean krong is low but dragons there we |
| 2920s | go they do get their response on across |
| 2922s | that it's gonna be a genji four jump |
| 2923s | between trey that will play with the |
| 2924s | attackers and this is where boyd gets an |
| 2926s | opportunity to pop off as while cron is |
| 2928s | not in his way |
| 2929s | losing easier both rigs |
| 2932s | lost in this fight and the respawners |
| 2933s | they gotta go in the favor dragons they |
| 2935s | have the much closer response now they |
| 2937s | have the much greater damage and the |
| 2938s | kills the rest of the charge will fall |
| 2940s | this might even just be a cab straight |
| 2942s | away because as krong comes back in the |
| 2944s | rest of his members are too far off |
| 2947s | yeah not a lot of time left for zarya's |
| 2949s | to get back into position they're gonna |
| 2950s | require that speed as well just to get |
| 2951s | there so this is given away and i think |
| 2953s | a lot of that fight really boils down to |
| 2955s | the fact that shanghai dragons despite |
| 2957s | losing a player the trades that they |
| 2958s | made after especially with the junker |
| 2960s | queen going down krong falling out early |
| 2962s | there dragons are just gonna have that |
| 2964s | pillar that they can rely on in the |
| 2965s | shout for the drunker queen the damage |
| 2967s | the everything else that dragons can do |
| 2969s | with that still on the field |
| 2971s | now charge i'm looking at chrome i'm |
| 2973s | looking at who are you those are certain |
| 2974s | focus targets look at that headshot |
| 2975s | coming through from left disgusting |
| 2977s | stuff joy though pulls out the blade |
| 2979s | regardless sound barrel will block up |
| 2980s | most of the damage save lip four versus |
| 2983s | four so far the extra railings now both |
| 2984s | popped on both ends why are you not |
| 2986s | quite on top of the play but with chrome |
| 2988s | going down xerneas couldn't save him |
| 2990s | charge only of three in this fight jimmy |
| 2992s | of joy |
| 2993s | thank you they're here one of them is |
| 2994s | still coming back from spawn you have |
| 2996s | troy going towards the dragon spawn this |
| 2998s | will be a cleanup for sure and dragons i |
| 3000s | get to walk on for charge have to back |
| 3002s | out |
| 3004s | and i think ideally for them they also |
| 3006s | want to make sure that they're not |
| 3007s | losing bodies here because that just |
| 3008s | extends |
| 3009s | the progression of this payload that |
| 3012s | that dragons can actually pull out of |
| 3014s | course |
| 3015s | all supportops |
| 3016s | off the field now but dragons they win |
| 3018s | that fight and they come away ahead in |
| 3020s | economy as well i mean come on |
| 3023s | that's what makes dragons just so |
| 3025s | different it feels like because they're |
| 3026s | able to put themselves in these types of |
| 3028s | scenarios where they have significant |
| 3030s | advantages |
| 3032s | well they uh you know they deflect out |
| 3033s | the choice of one blade |
| 3035s | they match the sound barrier and rally |
| 3037s | observing symfonic and then they won the |
| 3039s | fight without using any further |
| 3040s | ultimates and dps or voids ram pictures |
| 3042s | has come on now |
| 3044s | charge looking for spacing but will go |
| 3045s | through first and foremost on the |
| 3047s | overclocking immediately fights value |
| 3049s | charge at the stage trying to match with |
| 3052s | jimmy and jimmy's gone as well lip is |
| 3054s | just doing way too much at charge |
| 3056s | they're on the back foot and that foot |
| 3057s | looks broken to me easy hockey with a |
| 3059s | couple more and the dragons it's a one |
| 3061s | for one alt trade you talk about economy |
| 3063s | and even when shanghai dragons use alts |
| 3066s | charge still match and they still lose |
| 3069s | yeah i mean one oh one fight win that's |
| 3071s | the kind of thing that separates great |
| 3073s | from the great test you can see charge |
| 3076s | piling back in they're investing on this |
| 3078s | one |
| 3079s | it's a big rampage with crown credit for |
| 3081s | that one well you actually put into the |
| 3083s | dirt with it as well because so genji |
| 3085s | can't really afford to heal up when |
| 3086s | you're ant to get out you're in a little |
| 3088s | bit of a rough spot so the blade is not |
| 3089s | getting high as valley frog taking a |
| 3091s | bunch of damage now that the dragons do |
| 3093s | have a better time to sustain themselves |
| 3094s | and with that cap comes and kills come |
| 3096s | in as well two more often still to play |
| 3098s | through they won't need them they'll |
| 3099s | save them for c and cronk lucky to have |
| 3102s | his life saved here the hunt is on |
| 3104s | dragons want him down and they might |
| 3105s | just get him to because cj comes flying |
| 3107s | around the corner the sound barrier on |
| 3109s | the sound barrier the sound wave that's |
| 3110s | the official name for boop we'll push |
| 3112s | them backwards and dragons easy push |
| 3114s | coming |
| 3116s | charge setting back up you can see of |
| 3118s | course supports coming back online that |
| 3120s | means that this should ideally come down |
| 3122s | to you know some longer extended fights |
| 3125s | that's what we're looking to see however |
| 3127s | this kind of hasn't followed that script |
| 3128s | we're seeing |
| 3129s | time and time again just opening picks |
| 3131s | up and you can see who are you pressured |
| 3132s | same thing with choi here a lot of focus |
| 3135s | on trying to find something early and |
| 3136s | they get it |
| 3137s | yep that's big league sure gone doesn't |
| 3138s | save his teammate either so sound |
| 3140s | barrier only got to be good onto four |
| 3141s | members so far dragons why should use |
| 3143s | that to disengage they won't push four |
| 3145s | further forward so i guess gets to save |
| 3148s | his sound barrier for now we'll have to |
| 3149s | use that to block at the rampage from |
| 3150s | boy that's up next for the shanghai |
| 3152s | dragons |
| 3154s | it's now charge kind of taking control |
| 3156s | of the driver's seat |
| 3158s | thanks to choi in large part at least |
| 3161s | but dragons they're building into some |
| 3162s | things that i think are going to be |
| 3163s | dangerous especially with that pick |
| 3164s | there you still have to worry about lift |
| 3167s | that's the thing right dragons with five |
| 3169s | prong low hp lip is still doing plenty |
| 3171s | of damage and you'll get that kill the |
| 3173s | cronk the rally coming on through |
| 3176s | pretty comfortable for the shanghai |
| 3177s | dragons at this rate charges for any |
| 3179s | trades you know they don't have to burn |
| 3180s | their double support ultimate so they'll |
| 3182s | take the fight loss they'll take the |
| 3184s | rally from izaki but it is going to be |
| 3186s | the final defense now |
| 3187s | and i think this is all going to come |
| 3189s | down to tempo in this potential last |
| 3191s | fight with over two minutes on the clock |
| 3192s | still here who are you has played |
| 3194s | there's two supports on the side of |
| 3195s | charge they have their shot of course |
| 3196s | that they can utilize as well but |
| 3198s | they're playing aggressive and they're |
| 3199s | trying to find a pitch so they can |
| 3200s | stabilize early here |
| 3202s | kron is just so endangered look at many |
| 3204s | headshots on him double rails i believe |
| 3206s | it's a double support for a charge but |
| 3208s | it's not enough that everyone's just |
| 3209s | dying inside this rail everyone's dying |
| 3211s | inside the dragon's damage coming |
| 3212s | through it's a complete wipe and then |
| 3214s | what feels like one attempt from the |
| 3216s | shanghai dragons to get the sea push |
| 3218s | down i know there was that one fight |
| 3219s | where they did disengage with the sound |
| 3221s | bear that was the only fight they |
| 3222s | actually lost on c otherwise |
| 3224s | it's just a completely free push through |
| 3226s | 150 in the time bank locked up for the |
| 3229s | shanghai dragons now looking pretty |
| 3230s | comfortable i mean you talked about the |
| 3232s | economy the entire way through felt like |
| 3234s | it was in the hands of shanghai dragons |
| 3236s | yeah i think there was probably one |
| 3237s | solid moment there where charge felt |
| 3240s | like they were potentially in control of |
| 3241s | that and oh guys |
| 3243s | okay |
| 3244s | we're showing someone that's like the |
| 3245s | brig tech but like just completely |
| 3248s | ramped to oblivion did he get pooped as |
| 3250s | well i'm not too sure that |
| 3252s | i'm not sure i did i mean definitely the |
| 3254s | scalability of the verticality rather uh |
| 3256s | that comes from right the timing there |
| 3259s | certainly came from his own rampage but |
| 3261s | [Music] |
| 3266s | they say one of the biggest weaknesses |
| 3267s | of the jungle queen is that uh she has |
| 3269s | no verticality well i guess if you can |
| 3271s | just sort of angle yourself from the car |
| 3273s | the right way |
| 3274s | you can't fly up |
| 3275s | that's the one |
| 3278s | of course 150 on the time bank uh |
| 3281s | certainly feels good for dragons |
| 3282s | especially coming off of a map win |
| 3284s | already but a hotly contested one this |
| 3286s | one i think feels more in line |
| 3288s | with at least the dragons expectations |
| 3291s | certainly for themselves and one thing |
| 3293s | that i am noting as well is a little bit |
| 3294s | of an adaptation something that we saw |
| 3296s | early in the control map that we just |
| 3299s | got through was who are you really |
| 3300s | positioning forward getting caught up by |
| 3301s | choice of one we've seen it a couple |
| 3302s | times here on this map but they're |
| 3304s | reserving that a little bit now pulling |
| 3306s | choice of one into them and then |
| 3308s | allowing dragons more time to deal with |
| 3311s | kron because certainly i think that's a |
| 3313s | differentiating factor between these two |
| 3314s | teams who are you as the focus for |
| 3316s | charge whereas kron is the focus for |
| 3318s | dragons |
| 3319s | we've seen kron take a bunch of damage |
| 3321s | early in fights and this time we'll be |
| 3322s | certainly a sport in the wayside very |
| 3324s | far ahead of his team i mean we know |
| 3325s | teams like to push in that direction for |
| 3327s | a |
| 3328s | uh rotation and with |
| 3330s | zurich is down so early there's no speed |
| 3332s | bridge but you have wrong they can shout |
| 3334s | your team out and crawl themselves take |
| 3335s | them down against this is gonna be a |
| 3336s | number of kills three i believe so far |
| 3339s | and on top of that a late stag on the |
| 3341s | chrome that's gonna cost them time |
| 3344s | time is gonna be key here because |
| 3347s | time means that you're of course going |
| 3349s | to be losing out in some of your economy |
| 3351s | if you can progress through this map |
| 3352s | there's a lot of building that needs to |
| 3354s | occur here and if you're losing bodies |
| 3355s | early like they did with xerneas you're |
| 3357s | going to fall way behind in those really |
| 3361s | key cooldowns like sound barrier that |
| 3363s | dragons are going to have massive |
| 3364s | advantages and they can start rolling |
| 3366s | through some of these ultimates that's |
| 3368s | going to be |
| 3369s | very visible looks for a charge |
| 3372s | in previous you know occasions what |
| 3374s | we've seen choice 1 kind of at least |
| 3376s | match or exceed who are you in many |
| 3377s | cases for the play that's not even |
| 3378s | happening now with krong dying on |
| 3380s | rotation it's more of the same here |
| 3382s | dragons can even just play with their |
| 3383s | food a little bit they don't have to |
| 3384s | kill everyone straight away they will |
| 3385s | just |
| 3386s | take their pickings one by one it's a |
| 3388s | mantra charge smorgasbord for the |
| 3390s | shanghai dragons will allow three to get |
| 3392s | away |
| 3393s | they probably could have gotten a little |
| 3394s | bit more there but they're being |
| 3395s | respectful they're being disciplined |
| 3396s | they don't want to over chase they don't |
| 3397s | want to spawn camp pretty hard to do |
| 3399s | that as the defending team here in |
| 3400s | charge losing other fights nearly two |
| 3402s | minutes gone yeah but they literally |
| 3403s | don't want to do exactly what charge |
| 3405s | kind of baited themselves into back on |
| 3407s | oasis right it's this exact same kind of |
| 3409s | situation and they can keep finding |
| 3410s | these pigs again through the rotations |
| 3413s | there's some rotations that are not |
| 3414s | working out charge they just can't get |
| 3416s | players across they might have to think |
| 3417s | about another way to do this they even |
| 3419s | slightly stagger out crown them |
| 3421s | like in time is a factor and we said two |
| 3423s | minutes gone now it is officially two |
| 3424s | minutes gone we talked about dragons not |
| 3426s | really going for a spawn camp they |
| 3427s | thought about it here they got real |
| 3428s | close towards the charge spawn i think |
| 3430s | better of it charge by the way haven't |
| 3431s | found a single option it's been more |
| 3432s | than two minutes not one ultimate |
| 3434s | available for the charge |
| 3435s | and i think that's why dragons did kind |
| 3437s | of toy with the idea of playing more |
| 3438s | aggressively they know that they're |
| 3440s | ahead big time in terms of the old |
| 3443s | charge they can click tab right now and |
| 3445s | just see it so it's a little bit easier |
| 3447s | to visualize those kinds of things with |
| 3449s | regards to old tracking now |
| 3451s | but longzhou charge i think now |
| 3454s | certainly slowing the pace a little bit |
| 3456s | and i think that is much better for them |
| 3458s | because they can build you can see them |
| 3460s | closer just a little bit dragons dragons |
| 3463s | don't mind if charge slow things down as |
| 3464s | charges time that's taken down at the |
| 3466s | moment they're happy about that i mean |
| 3467s | dragons nearly have the full christmas |
| 3468s | tree up |
| 3469s | five lights as void is waiting for the |
| 3472s | rampage slightly hit a choice hit of |
| 3474s | cronkite choice he was about to get the |
| 3475s | blade but it's taking quite some time i |
| 3478s | don't know that charge will go for a |
| 3479s | long rotation here charge might just |
| 3480s | want to go for a quick engage use some |
| 3482s | ultimate slips already pulled out the |
| 3484s | overclock charge will do well to not get |
| 3486s | caught by this time rounding the pulse |
| 3488s | of the health and here we go who are you |
| 3490s | want some damage you want some frags |
| 3491s | what's choi first and foremost because |
| 3493s | you know troy is the target he has been |
| 3495s | the carry member for the charge two |
| 3496s | members caught by the rampage and this |
| 3498s | blade is all forfeited as the guangzhou |
| 3501s | charge can't do anything with their |
| 3503s | three ultimates shanghai dragons head |
| 3505s | five |
| 3507s | i love that so much from dragons too i |
| 3509s | think |
| 3509s | good news for charge is |
| 3511s | 30 seconds left you have at least |
| 3514s | something dragons completely reset their |
| 3517s | economy all the way down to scratch but |
| 3519s | jimmy still has that overclock could |
| 3521s | have potential to turn this around but |
| 3523s | they have to touch still they have to |
| 3524s | make their way through and choke that |
| 3526s | dragons have caught them time and time |
| 3527s | again |
| 3528s | look at this dragons are gonna play in |
| 3529s | the trade this is very rare teams don't |
| 3531s | do this so what is the response from |
| 3533s | charge can go straight forward towards |
| 3535s | the point itself should make his first |
| 3537s | blood on lip for this fight which is |
| 3538s | nice to see krong about to get the |
| 3539s | rampage as well that will be important |
| 3541s | we'll probably end up having to burn |
| 3542s | that despite it being a five versus four |
| 3544s | dragons not full |
| 3546s | any other members being killed by jimmy |
| 3548s | in fact jimmy's a 101 hp who are you |
| 3549s | just solos and what is going on there |
| 3551s | who are you just decides that jimmy is |
| 3553s | going to die and the shoulders are wrong |
| 3555s | gets quite heavy here only boycott you |
| 3557s | want more from that rampage a choice one |
| 3560s | might still just deliver more as the |
| 3562s | guangzhou charge have a five versus |
| 3563s | three advantage they'll get that extra |
| 3565s | kill ej gone and they will be able to |
| 3567s | get the point but it costs them all of |
| 3569s | the time on a cost them the two |
| 3570s | ultimates as well and even then |
| 3573s | they were losing members |
| 3575s | i think one of the big things too that |
| 3577s | has me a little bit concerned for the |
| 3578s | charge moving forward you know you want |
| 3580s | to be hopeful that we got a great series |
| 3582s | here and that charge are |
| 3584s | really in their element |
| 3585s | off of the 4-2 great great setup but |
| 3588s | with dragons already pushing it they've |
| 3589s | lost krong |
| 3590s | oh no |
| 3592s | yeah well charge is trying to get a |
| 3593s | little bit far forward there right they |
| 3594s | want to get aggressive versus dragons |
| 3596s | and once again somebody does get |
| 3597s | punished when we see charge walk on for |
| 3599s | them it's a namesake right they're |
| 3600s | trying to charge on ford but shanghai |
| 3602s | dragons will have none of that |
| 3604s | two minutes to go through and |
| 3605s | immediately this is where you would like |
| 3606s | to see charge get a bit of momentum but |
| 3608s | they're sort of sent back to spawn in a |
| 3609s | reset as the door closes |
| 3611s | and the fire truck has gone through |
| 3613s | dragons control the space |
| 3617s | to see if they can actually kind of |
| 3619s | choke out choice of one and deny him |
| 3621s | some of that forward aggression because |
| 3623s | as we've talked about choi loves to take |
| 3625s | some of that space away look for |
| 3626s | pressure onto his you know |
| 3629s | opponent across the island who are you |
| 3631s | and try to shut that player down and |
| 3633s | create an opening but even when they get |
| 3634s | picked dragons are really good about |
| 3636s | turning fights being down a member |
| 3638s | choice lucky that's why you already |
| 3639s | assisted that dash but lip is still |
| 3641s | looking for tigers nearly caught ahead |
| 3643s | there sound bear being popped regardless |
| 3645s | and that's charged looking for the |
| 3646s | comeback they only wanted to turn a |
| 3647s | little bit re-engaging now boy you found |
| 3649s | his timing just has to deal with the |
| 3651s | fireway rally troy got his place shut |
| 3653s | down by left disgusting rail shot and |
| 3655s | now who are you there's unimpeded |
| 3656s | there's a lot of charge members out for |
| 3658s | the picking |
| 3659s | once krong we'll get chrome who are you |
| 3661s | says he'll die and he will go down will |
| 3663s | they walk further forward because this |
| 3665s | is prime territory for a spawn camp and |
| 3667s | the only member down is izuki but that |
| 3669s | might be important dragons might not be |
| 3671s | able to spawn kept with four they need |
| 3672s | five alive |
| 3674s | is that a deflection |
| 3675s | yeah big time dragons still have leisure |
| 3678s | guns sound very which is huge but i |
| 3680s | think the big thing there is two |
| 3681s | concepts baiting and layering you saw |
| 3683s | where you pulled the blade out they |
| 3685s | already had the rally invested now you |
| 3687s | bait out the sound barrier they layer |
| 3689s | those two ultimates together charge |
| 3691s | immediately lost someone despite |
| 3694s | utilizing both of those resources and |
| 3695s | now dragons have both a fight win a |
| 3698s | massive advantage in time and a massive |
| 3701s | advantage in economy and the fact that |
| 3702s | they can utilize the sound baron to play |
| 3704s | aggressive with 10 seconds left on the |
| 3706s | clock they can end it i mean void will |
| 3708s | get rampage in this fight there's no |
| 3709s | doubt about that as long as boyd doesn't |
| 3710s | die he will have a rampage here if he |
| 3712s | does die dragons have so much space to |
| 3714s | play through charge have not made any |
| 3716s | considerable distance on the payload |
| 3717s | they're even barely getting into the |
| 3718s | underpass choice solar pushing for now |
| 3721s | dragons being patient they can go for |
| 3723s | the rampage at any point i don't know if |
| 3725s | they've read the old economy or charged |
| 3726s | correctly but they could even tempo |
| 3728s | before there's nothing really to counter |
| 3730s | out from the charge side who currently |
| 3732s | are just waiting for the jimmy overclock |
| 3735s | make no mistake this is the final |
| 3737s | portion charge they want to move forward |
| 3739s | but it is so risky to see how timid they |
| 3741s | are in this fight |
| 3744s | just hoping praying for any kind of pick |
| 3746s | charge have been good about finding them |
| 3748s | but they will absolutely require one |
| 3751s | oh no they see nine okay well that |
| 3753s | literally happened unlucky i guess |
| 3757s | that's the most like anti-climactic oh |
| 3760s | no they just |
| 3761s | they see nine uh that happened so |
| 3763s | dragons here's what happened here's what |
| 3765s | eric's way as well i'm gonna paint the |
| 3766s | picture right here the uh the guangzhou |
| 3768s | charge |
| 3769s | they uh you're walking in with their |
| 3771s | fantasy rpg party they walk into the |
| 3773s | dragon's dungeon and then they just uh |
| 3775s | they leave actually i think we're a |
| 3777s | little under leveled for this raid uh |
| 3778s | they tried to push that payload forward |
| 3780s | i don't know who stepped off i think it |
| 3782s | was choi's job to keep pushing he might |
| 3784s | have stepped off but it was just done |
| 3786s | it was dragons waiting out jimmy's |
| 3788s | overclock and they're like wait on the |
| 3790s | overclock and then go |
| 3791s | and then the game just ended |
| 3793s | i can't believe that |
| 3795s | yeah i felt like we were kind of |
| 3796s | building into this you know great |
| 3798s | potential climax charge pushing in and |
| 3801s | maybe being able to find something they |
| 3802s | were looking for the pick but instead |
| 3804s | they found the end of the map and |
| 3807s | unfortunate for them to go down o2 and |
| 3809s | it's it's serious point already for the |
| 3810s | dragons |
| 3812s | yeah that is really rough for the |
| 3814s | guangzhou charge i think they were |
| 3815s | already in a pretty tough position to be |
| 3817s | in but you like to see them at least |
| 3818s | take the final fight see if there's |
| 3819s | anything left in there not going to |
| 3821s | happen dragons kept through the entire |
| 3823s | map with a pretty reasonable time bank |
| 3825s | in the going to charge and now down zero |
| 3826s | and two in the series shanghai dragons |
| 3828s | at match point in our opening match of |
| 3830s | the summer showdown tournament don't go |
| 3831s | anywhere possibly the final map coming |
| 3833s | on right after |
| 3837s | this ends now |

| 4076s | i know king charles iii just got |
| 4077s | inaugurated but king charles then ninth |
| 4079s | just made an appearance on our broadcast |
| 4081s | here in the overwatch league for the |
| 4082s | summer showdown day one |
| 4084s | tournament on midtown an overtime push |
| 4087s | goes awry for the guangzhou charge and |
| 4090s | unfortunately they got no one to blame |
| 4092s | but themselves that was pretty egregious |
| 4094s | it didn't look like they had a lot of |
| 4095s | chances to win that map here x but at |
| 4097s | least they would have had a chance have |
| 4098s | they continued pushing on four i was |
| 4100s | really looking forward to how that fight |
| 4102s | could have gone for them |
| 4103s | yeah and on a map and really a meta that |
| 4105s | is just so dependent on snowballing and |
| 4108s | momentum |
| 4109s | i mean there's nothing to say i think |
| 4112s | that charge if they found a way to get |
| 4114s | through point b that they couldn't have |
| 4115s | at least finished the map and given |
| 4116s | themselves an opportunity to to force a |
| 4118s | draw or any just something to help set |
| 4120s | them up long term but either way charge |
| 4123s | unfortunate i think a little bit of a |
| 4125s | deflating loss there at least a little |
| 4127s | bit but you have to kind of scrap that |
| 4129s | you just have to move on you have that |
| 4131s | time now to kind of figure out okay |
| 4132s | where do we want to take this series we |
| 4134s | obviously know that |
| 4136s | shanghai dragons have made some |
| 4137s | adaptations obviously they're not |
| 4138s | catching who are you out as much early |
| 4140s | in some of these pre-fights yes they're |
| 4142s | getting some picks but dragons they stay |
| 4144s | so composed in the mid-fight that even |
| 4146s | when they lose someone early they're |
| 4147s | still able to find krong and then have |
| 4148s | that advantage and the fact that they |
| 4150s | have their pillars still on the floor |
| 4151s | with void being the only junker queen |
| 4154s | still alive |
| 4156s | let's move forward now uh map chosen for |
| 4158s | number three is going to be circuit |
| 4159s | royale coming through from the ground |
| 4161s | charge side and despite oasis looking |
| 4164s | competitive i would argue here midtown |
| 4166s | looked |
| 4166s | less than competitive given that it took |
| 4169s | until the ot for charge to even get the |
| 4171s | cap onto a i mean how many failed |
| 4172s | rotations that they have until they just |
| 4174s | said screw it we finally found |
| 4175s | alternates like |
| 4177s | three and a half minutes deep into this |
| 4178s | attack let's just use our ultimates hope |
| 4180s | for the best that actually worked out |
| 4181s | remember shanghai dragons at one point |
| 4184s | had five ultimates they did win that |
| 4185s | five ultimate fight but you know when we |
| 4187s | came back uh further forward from that |
| 4189s | charge |
| 4190s | managed to rack up a little bit more |
| 4192s | push things further into beep that's |
| 4194s | when things fell apart so if they can |
| 4197s | gain some real distance now on circle |
| 4199s | royale that would be pretty good it will |
| 4201s | be dragons once again attacking charge |
| 4203s | defending |
| 4204s | as we've seen already in this series and |
| 4206s | as we've seen really throughout this |
| 4208s | entire stage and throughout this entire |
| 4209s | meta a lot of this is defined by and |
| 4212s | certainly on this map in particular |
| 4214s | defined by spawn holes you're going to |
| 4215s | see virtually every hold here or sorry |
| 4218s | every spawn here is defendable |
| 4221s | and right out of the gate charge is |
| 4222s | going to look to do that shanghai |
| 4224s | dragons we have seen some teams offer |
| 4226s | some swaps to try to break these spawn |
| 4229s | holds but shanghai dragons the only |
| 4230s | thing that they're changing is the ash |
| 4232s | and this is i think the statistically |
| 4234s | most dominant ash pick |
| 4236s | lip right |
| 4238s | uh actually i have no idea i will have |
| 4239s | to check the stats on that one but i do |
| 4241s | not verify it look at that he is |
| 4243s | okay well you know i'll trust you on |
| 4245s | that one we'll call it |
| 4246s | statistically the best ass show fight |
| 4248s | that we've seen and for the charge |
| 4251s | we'll still try and just not quite spawn |
| 4254s | camp anymore but play the opening corner |
| 4256s | right that's the next defendable |
| 4257s | position you'll notice that lift will go |
| 4259s | straight off of |
| 4260s | exogen once the spawn camp is gone okay |
| 4263s | oh jimmy does kill lee jaegon just uh |
| 4265s | full shanghai dragons to walk backwards |
| 4266s | a bit |
| 4268s | shanghai |
| 4269s | losing that player as we've seen you |
| 4272s | know a few times throughout this series |
| 4273s | it's all about composing yourself making |
| 4275s | sure that you can try to find some |
| 4276s | pressure and they find it oh man |
| 4279s | oh jimmy i think it took a rail there as |
| 4281s | well from left i mean that's just the |
| 4282s | power of the surgeon coming on through |
| 4283s | and you know once you're no longer |
| 4285s | defending or trying to get out of a |
| 4286s | spawn hole you're just opening the gates |
| 4288s | and now they're kicking the doors right |
| 4290s | arm down it's a big cleaner far away |
| 4292s | will trade lead regard he's the only |
| 4293s | player that's actually died in the |
| 4294s | shanghai dragons two now but it doesn't |
| 4296s | matter he respawns quickly he's a lucio |
| 4298s | hook back into the flight dragons |
| 4300s | getting some real good push on now |
| 4302s | and that's something a little bit |
| 4303s | different from the shanghai dragons as |
| 4304s | well i mean typically you see them |
| 4306s | pressuring out krong that gives |
| 4307s | allowance for void to step up take space |
| 4310s | away and then they can kind of out |
| 4311s | pressure just have that delta |
| 4313s | advantage |
| 4315s | instead they went for the instantaneous |
| 4316s | pick that looked more like charges play |
| 4318s | style actually |
| 4320s | well now who are you has the blade |
| 4322s | zunius has the beating response so it's |
| 4324s | very important well you have to be |
| 4325s | careful it needs to be healed on top |
| 4328s | wants to come out immediately troy was |
| 4330s | low he has been saved each again |
| 4331s | actually matches what choices has a |
| 4333s | timing here but they might not be able |
| 4334s | to do anything about it if frog is dead |
| 4336s | enjoy to follow |
| 4337s | 99 that's a heartbreaker charge |
| 4340s | to give this one up and with that |
| 4341s | they'll have to give up the point as |
| 4343s | well they'll be lucky to save even these |
| 4345s | two members jimmy he will be forfeited |
| 4348s | he is the only one surviving uh oh |
| 4351s | what's this krong got the bad spawn |
| 4352s | that's really unlikely |
| 4355s | i think at least some good news for |
| 4357s | charge is that a lot of this down time |
| 4358s | here okay this does not feel as good |
| 4361s | this this does not feel as good now that |
| 4363s | you're losing more bodies to this spawn |
| 4365s | and as we talked about we said look |
| 4368s | every spawn here is holdable and that |
| 4371s | doesn't discount the fact that you can |
| 4372s | do it on offense too |
| 4374s | look how deep the dragons are |
| 4376s | are they attacking sea or bear it's hard |
| 4378s | to tell this thing they have someone |
| 4379s | pushing it apparently yeah exactly they |
| 4381s | are pushing feet that's the thing though |
| 4382s | they're so deep on the scene they they |
| 4385s | are doing an offensive spawn camp now |
| 4386s | that's right you see the deep in this |
| 4387s | ball game attackers though not so much |
| 4390s | ultimates coming through now who are you |
| 4391s | getting killed regardless of all of that |
| 4393s | troy wants to save the day dodge is out |
| 4394s | of rail importantly the defense is gone |
| 4396s | now and with that his life will be |
| 4398s | forfeit which white did actually get |
| 4400s | void down so |
| 4401s | that was a pretty even beginning this is |
| 4403s | now no longer even the shanghai dragons |
| 4405s | we don't have any junk queens on board |
| 4407s | but shanghai dragons with four as |
| 4409s | they've had this entire time it's more |
| 4411s | than enough |
| 4413s | charge just investing so much in those |
| 4414s | early fights and if they can get a very |
| 4417s | decisive win with their investment early |
| 4419s | on then they do well but oh and here you |
| 4422s | go |
| 4422s | yeah that's what we're learning for like |
| 4424s | jimmy pops the overclock immediately |
| 4426s | gets slipped down so i'm trying to get |
| 4427s | out and dragons overstaying their |
| 4429s | welcome they wanted to get very |
| 4430s | aggressive on towards the c spawn point |
| 4432s | and |
| 4433s | they're going to charge now a great |
| 4434s | ability to defend but jimmy gets stuck |
| 4436s | on the geometry there i think he might |
| 4438s | have is that a bug i have no idea but it |
| 4439s | is unlucky |
| 4440s | and what that dragons they've turned |
| 4442s | this fight around who are you |
| 4443s | consolidated |
| 4444s | jimmy starts to fight for the charge but |
| 4446s | who are you ends and that's the cap as |
| 4447s | well |
| 4449s | shanghai dragons move forward and again |
| 4452s | it just comes down to that same story |
| 4454s | right charge come through they're hot |
| 4456s | right off the start if they can get some |
| 4458s | value they can win the fight but |
| 4459s | unfortunately for them dragons are |
| 4460s | playing that long game they're trying to |
| 4462s | bait you forward they're looking for |
| 4463s | that disengage opportunity and once they |
| 4466s | catch you there they are looking to turn |
| 4467s | the fight with that pivot they can |
| 4469s | invest their shout turn things around |
| 4471s | find a pick and start establishing some |
| 4473s | dominance midway through a fight i think |
| 4475s | charge just kind of keep i don't want to |
| 4477s | say falling for it but they're playing |
| 4479s | into it a little bit right i would |
| 4481s | describe it as dragons kind of |
| 4482s | disengaging well and then being able to |
| 4484s | regroup their respawners and charge them |
| 4485s | to convert off initial picks right |
| 4487s | they're not shy about getting first |
| 4489s | picks we've seen jimmy get that kill to |
| 4490s | lift |
| 4491s | they can't do much more than that boy |
| 4493s | fails rampage that's gonna entirely go |
| 4495s | why there might have been boot no idea |
| 4496s | sound barrier from zonius regardless |
| 4498s | just for the tempo he has a charge walk |
| 4500s | on four that's exactly what they need |
| 4501s | this is the first time the charge will |
| 4503s | successfully win a team fight dragons on |
| 4506s | the run |
| 4507s | back to their roost |
| 4509s | and uh a full disengage that's not gonna |
| 4511s | be turned around |
| 4512s | yeah no way to collate when you lose |
| 4514s | three of your bodies and you lose the |
| 4516s | pillar as well and the junker queen |
| 4518s | so shanghai dragons they back up but |
| 4520s | they're looking for that next |
| 4521s | opportunity sound bear is still online |
| 4522s | they're gonna have rally there as well |
| 4524s | so they should have an advantage in |
| 4525s | terms of just being able to press |
| 4527s | forward have that pressure delta in |
| 4529s | their favor and look for those picks |
| 4532s | oh there's a peg yep troy down that's |
| 4534s | what you want if you're dragging |
| 4535s | trolling 80 percent as well and effects |
| 4537s | continue once dragons get one they will |
| 4539s | get the second and further from that |
| 4540s | fairly easy who are you |
| 4542s | cleaning them up and slow burn kills |
| 4545s | also at least slow down the payload but |
| 4547s | it's a five to zero sweep here not a |
| 4549s | single member of charge could at least |
| 4551s | trade on the dragons and now dragons |
| 4553s | look forward |
| 4555s | i think one of the big things there as |
| 4557s | well as just pure economy win for them |
| 4559s | right i mean not having to utilize |
| 4561s | either of those supports that we just |
| 4562s | mentioned on top of the fact that they |
| 4563s | have great titles |
| 4565s | as well and another pick |
| 4567s | that's the power railgun once again lip |
| 4569s | i mean i don't you you talked about his |
| 4570s | ash i don't know if you got the sojourn |
| 4572s | stance for me as well sound bear |
| 4574s | sound bear not quite be popping here it |
| 4575s | is now the counter the dragon play from |
| 4577s | choice f juan but it doesn't matter what |
| 4579s | 20 does everybody is dying at me zoning |
| 4581s | it's dead in that fight this is going to |
| 4582s | be the cap charge just cannot get a frag |
| 4585s | boy's done too much here lip has done |
| 4587s | too much to open up the fight choice |
| 4589s | blade is not even going to be enough to |
| 4591s | save the guangzhou charge it's been |
| 4593s | enough in previous maps in previous |
| 4595s | situations versus any other team but |
| 4596s | versus the shanghai dragons i'm not |
| 4599s | going to call it a speed run but 153 is |
| 4601s | damn quick |
| 4603s | yeah especially on this map in |
| 4604s | particular this is a map where it's so |
| 4606s | easy to get hung up there's a couple of |
| 4608s | corners that are very difficult to get |
| 4610s | beyond especially if a defense knows how |
| 4612s | to maneuver and rotate |
| 4614s | you know you look at b and that like s |
| 4616s | curve that you have to get up the higher |
| 4617s | ground you have to push through maybe |
| 4619s | not as |
| 4620s | devastating the high ground aspect at |
| 4622s | least in this meta but even still |
| 4624s | some difficult geometry and you asked |
| 4626s | for some sojourn stats and i do have |
| 4627s | some i think you know looking back at |
| 4629s | the grav bag from you know |
| 4631s | weeks 15 through 18. the main thing that |
| 4634s | i remember seeing there and that's yeah |
| 4636s | that's unfortunate the uh |
| 4638s | baggage cart there |
| 4641s | you go |
| 4642s | anyway continue please |
| 4644s | but |
| 4644s | the i think the main thing that i |
| 4646s | noticed about those stat lines for |
| 4648s | sojourn especially when we talk about |
| 4650s | lip really hitting his stride now on it |
| 4652s | is that he had a major standout stat |
| 4654s | line that i think people aren't talking |
| 4656s | enough about and that is solo kills per |
| 4658s | 10 and the fact that you have someone |
| 4660s | that is able to just outright delete |
| 4662s | someone on their own and and it wasn't |
| 4665s | like a little bit |
| 4667s | literally double the average and well |
| 4669s | above the second place person i mean i |
| 4672s | think it was like 1.06 and i think |
| 4673s | second was somewhere around like the |
| 4675s | highest point sixes i mean |
| 4679s | the way i read into that stat line of |
| 4681s | solo kills is is also first place now we |
| 4683s | don't have a state line for first place |
| 4684s | we really should get one of those if we |
| 4686s | can but they don't currently exist the |
| 4688s | reason why i say first bloods is because |
| 4690s | as troy gets void down guess let's see |
| 4693s | points falling apart is the fact that |
| 4695s | when you get a solo kill technically on |
| 4697s | a surgeon it's like the opening |
| 4699s | railroads |
| 4700s | lift killing jimmy multiple times |
| 4703s | and dragons despite losing members like |
| 4705s | okay i was going to say they're still in |
| 4707s | this one then now it's time to back on |
| 4708s | it they need five |
| 4709s | charge yeah jimmy will swap over towards |
| 4711s | the sojourn as well as they did in the |
| 4713s | opening with troy getting who are you |
| 4715s | down as soon as dragons had five can |
| 4717s | they instantly lose |
| 4720s | all about another picks richard's all |
| 4721s | about starting early |
| 4723s | setting an advantage |
| 4725s | dragons on the other hand looking for |
| 4726s | their footing and looks like they do |
| 4728s | have it here three minutes on the time |
| 4729s | bank so |
| 4731s | not much |
| 4732s | required from charge at least just yet |
| 4734s | but dragons i think they're going to |
| 4736s | start asking |
| 4738s | this could be where they really put |
| 4739s | their foot down right so early shout has |
| 4741s | been expanded here look there it is |
| 4743s | that's what we're talking about actually |
| 4744s | that wasn't a rail kill but in case you |
| 4746s | get it |
| 4746s | jimmy does get a kill for who i use it's |
| 4748s | a one-for-one trade so far krong for who |
| 4750s | are you i mean both are really important |
| 4752s | members here i think charge |
| 4753s | they have the slightly closer respawn |
| 4755s | distance they can't really afford the |
| 4756s | taxi so you don't see zunis going back |
| 4758s | for cronk just yet |
| 4760s | troy wants to play it in but you need |
| 4761s | the player advantage and i guess player |
| 4763s | advantage technically generated kron |
| 4765s | comes back as off there's any time to go |
| 4766s | for the blade it is now no sound bearing |
| 4768s | from legion as he's still at 94 and |
| 4770s | still respawning charles can just force |
| 4772s | this fight to happen |
| 4774s | yeah i think they they expect legion |
| 4776s | going to have this barrier i think |
| 4777s | luckily for dragons they're gonna have |
| 4778s | time to build it but he's not gonna get |
| 4780s | it he's not gonna get it jimmy's too |
| 4782s | good today he's just sniped them down |
| 4784s | that's gonna be a free fight |
| 4787s | i mean |
| 4788s | stepping up since stepping in right i |
| 4790s | mean that is jimmy's story through and |
| 4793s | through he came in has definitely looked |
| 4795s | like a really strong talent especially |
| 4797s | when you talk about |
| 4799s | trying to pair up with someone like |
| 4800s | choice of wand especially in this meta |
| 4802s | here and you can already see dragons |
| 4804s | pushing into troy there but with jimmy |
| 4806s | having that overclock available how can |
| 4808s | he stand up to lift lip's going to have |
| 4810s | one himself who can get the better fire |
| 4812s | power off |
| 4813s | i mean this has just been a big |
| 4814s | turnaround for jimmy right because it |
| 4815s | was lip getting those first blood so |
| 4816s | many times so far on the other end when |
| 4819s | uh dragons were attacking both of the |
| 4820s | clocks as you mentioned is going to come |
| 4822s | on through one cleaning up easy |
| 4824s | there sound barrier now being matched on |
| 4826s | both ends of the player who are you |
| 4827s | that's looking to be the difference |
| 4829s | maker just can't quite go through all |
| 4831s | the shielding and jimmy finds the |
| 4833s | hedgehog who are you so when all is said |
| 4834s | and done jimmy gets the better of their |
| 4836s | opponents and surely continues he gets |
| 4838s | to kill the void as well this is falling |
| 4840s | apart for the dragons we talked about |
| 4841s | them maybe putting their foot down on b |
| 4843s | b is not looking too healthy for the |
| 4845s | dragons not at all and now you see some |
| 4847s | of that like spawn camp type action |
| 4849s | coming through as well for the charge |
| 4851s | gonna be backing off not looking as |
| 4853s | aggressive as the dragons but you see |
| 4855s | here dragons with the brown they're |
| 4856s | gonna be forced to utilize this in the |
| 4858s | pre-fight |
| 4859s | yeah and who i use even on the tracer |
| 4861s | recall's gone by the way so |
| 4864s | okay well charges |
| 4866s | oh they're trying to wait out the winner |
| 4867s | that makes sense yeah they are going to |
| 4868s | wait out the rally here but i'll tell |
| 4869s | you something though it does allow |
| 4871s | dragons to reclaim space i don't think |
| 4873s | it's the worst thing in the world it's |
| 4874s | quite an expensive way given that you |
| 4875s | have to pop an entire ultimate to just |
| 4877s | get the space back but coming out of the |
| 4879s | choke positioning is not comfortable |
| 4881s | either so we'll take that if you are |
| 4882s | dragons |
| 4885s | i think on top of that as well dragons |
| 4887s | having the tracer on the board as well |
| 4888s | charge are comfortable with this they |
| 4890s | know that they've waited out the rally |
| 4892s | and they don't have to deal with a genji |
| 4895s | this time void will connect last time |
| 4897s | the rampage left wanting this time he'll |
| 4899s | get wrong choice down low as well but |
| 4901s | not quite dead far away being the next |
| 4903s | target and dragons this is what i'm |
| 4904s | talking about right here x they might |
| 4906s | have used an entire rally literal zoning |
| 4909s | rally by the way that's a good mean but |
| 4910s | um off the back of it they get map |
| 4912s | control you can't underestimate how |
| 4915s | powerful map control is because if you |
| 4916s | are the team trying to come out of spawn |
| 4918s | and fighting through the choke of b to |
| 4919s | get back on the payload that's hard but |
| 4921s | when you have actual position to play |
| 4922s | with suddenly things become a lot easier |
| 4925s | yeah on top of that that fight win is |
| 4926s | critical because think about how long |
| 4928s | it's gonna take to get those rotations |
| 4929s | in back to the objective and think about |
| 4931s | also the lethality that you have to face |
| 4933s | in those rotations on top of the fact |
| 4935s | that who are you had enough time to make |
| 4937s | that spot back over the genji |
| 4939s | it's a big one from kron and it needs to |
| 4940s | be a big one because they need to get |
| 4942s | dragons off the board here to kept beach |
| 4943s | like 59 towards the plate he might still |
| 4946s | have to pull it through because the |
| 4947s | numbers do not look good for the charge |
| 4949s | they're one ahead but they need a lot |
| 4951s | more than that the blades looking good |
| 4952s | now two players caught on the wayside |
| 4955s | and a final member being |
| 4957s | taken down that's who are you on the |
| 4958s | side the shanghai dragons despite it |
| 4961s | looking like a good big defense the |
| 4963s | guangzhou charge |
| 4964s | not to be deterred not just yet the |
| 4967s | extra blade from choi required and it |
| 4969s | does the d |
| 4970s | and now we move into the final section |
| 4972s | of the map and this is i think a haven |
| 4974s | for choice right we we always talk about |
| 4976s | how choi is looking to try to take space |
| 4978s | away kind of be that head of the spear |
| 4981s | for the charge and this is a map where |
| 4984s | dragons are going to be taking away |
| 4985s | space as much as they can rotating |
| 4987s | together but if troy can actually find a |
| 4989s | nice angle to work with here he could |
| 4991s | continue to potentially find some of |
| 4992s | these opening picks again |
| 4994s | the dragon's trying to push through the |
| 4995s | choke at the top of the stairs here as |
| 4997s | well it's looking pretty difficult |
| 4999s | they are somewhat through but instantly |
| 5001s | zaki's gone so that's the rally taken |
| 5003s | off the table easy can't quite match far |
| 5004s | away and with that the dragons yeah |
| 5006s | they're not going to throw in any extra |
| 5008s | ultimates here no sound barriers they're |
| 5009s | just going to allow the charge to |
| 5011s | collect big skills 5-0 wipe exactly what |
| 5013s | the charge need dragons unfortunate |
| 5016s | can't quite engage there and this is |
| 5018s | really dangerous territory now i don't |
| 5020s | think charge can match 153 but they can |
| 5022s | definitely cap |
| 5024s | question is can they break through the |
| 5025s | dragon's advantages that they kind of |
| 5027s | have i mean you see the both of those |
| 5029s | support holes the fact that they can |
| 5031s | layer those now they can force that they |
| 5032s | can reset certainly but they also have |
| 5034s | respawn advantage and that could be huge |
| 5036s | especially when you pair it with the |
| 5037s | blade from who are you it's just going |
| 5038s | to be up a little bit faster than choice |
| 5041s | so very critical that's only got to get |
| 5043s | to the speed off because who are you is |
| 5044s | going to be looking for those kills |
| 5046s | jimmy as well he's been brilliant for |
| 5048s | those first picks |
| 5049s | has the overclock available |
| 5052s | 146 now there's still time to cap and |
| 5055s | charge they can play patiently if they |
| 5056s | want to again they can't match 153 we've |
| 5058s | accepted that vapor can they get more |
| 5060s | than that here comes jimmy now he wants |
| 5062s | some blood and the dragons will come on |
| 5064s | through they might just deliver that one |
| 5065s | who are you with the blade boy takes |
| 5068s | down krong it's already not looking |
| 5069s | great for the charge zoning speed can |
| 5071s | only do so much there's some decent |
| 5073s | trades though jimmy and choices one |
| 5074s | flying two on the opposite end it's |
| 5076s | three versus three the extra rounding |
| 5077s | from isiaki could equalize things and |
| 5079s | give dragons a bit of an advantage |
| 5081s | they've only got two members alive but |
| 5082s | here actually talked about the respawn |
| 5084s | advantage can that come through for the |
| 5086s | shanghai dragon's charge can't get any |
| 5087s | more kills it stops now they are |
| 5089s | resetting |
| 5090s | just took too long unfortunately for the |
| 5092s | charge dragon stabilized that rally |
| 5094s | helped him do it |
| 5096s | and now dragons without resources i |
| 5098s | think this looks a lot better for the |
| 5100s | charge but even still that respawn |
| 5102s | advantage you cannot count that out |
| 5103s | despite the fact that the blade is ready |
| 5105s | for choi and we've seen him get those |
| 5107s | three four five k's already he might be |
| 5109s | able to get that done but i think |
| 5111s | barring that there's still going to be a |
| 5112s | struggle ahead |
| 5114s | yeah and this is a decision for boyd to |
| 5116s | make as well because he's got to get |
| 5117s | this rampage underway |
| 5118s | krong if he dies here that's critical he |
| 5120s | fails his whole climb but he doesn't die |
| 5122s | so that's very important that charge at |
| 5124s | least retain the blade capabilities a |
| 5126s | lot of low members on the side of the |
| 5127s | dragons krong whipped his rampage but |
| 5129s | they might stop if they win the fight |
| 5130s | look how low the dragons are going down |
| 5133s | boyd catches two very low hp on |
| 5135s | everybody charged now have to be very |
| 5137s | careful and it's just a mixed bag of |
| 5139s | kills across the ball two versus three i |
| 5140s | believe and choice got a lot who are |
| 5142s | your respawns lip tries to go overclock |
| 5144s | he's dead who are you bailing touches |
| 5146s | two versus one currently the recoil's |
| 5148s | available but who are you |
| 5150s | cannot touch he tries to blink on him he |
| 5152s | might have been body blocked he might |
| 5154s | just have been a fraction of a hair off |
| 5156s | from getting the touch going because if |
| 5158s | he had managed to touch dragons with a |
| 5160s | further response would have had it that |
| 5162s | came down to a two versus one with |
| 5164s | extremely critical hp on both sides |
| 5168s | could have been a massively heroic |
| 5169s | moment from who are you and tracer there |
| 5171s | because the timing of those kills |
| 5174s | certainly favored dragons if they could |
| 5176s | just get one more body on they would |
| 5178s | have had three more right after they |
| 5179s | would have had everything they needed to |
| 5181s | actually just shut this map down right |
| 5183s | then and there but certainly respect |
| 5185s | over to charge their ability to just end |
| 5188s | it make sure that they can cancel out |
| 5190s | that stall from who are you |
| 5192s | great way to take that fight as well i |
| 5194s | mean when everything broke down you |
| 5196s | typically see dragons that's where they |
| 5198s | feel most confident and they take |
| 5200s | control but charge despite all of that |
| 5202s | and also despite the respawn advantage |
| 5204s | they found a way forward |
| 5207s | krong's a very unfortunate rampage worth |
| 5210s | but thankfully that didn't end up |
| 5212s | costing them the attack |
| 5214s | because i'll still get it done |
| 5216s | that's the kind of thing right this is |
| 5217s | where why we look at midtown and we're |
| 5219s | thinking yeah it didn't look great for |
| 5220s | the charge but maybe they can just watch |
| 5222s | on through a flight it feels like that |
| 5223s | exact clutch on through all the fight |
| 5225s | just occurred on that sea offense so |
| 5227s | we're gonna go to |
| 5228s | time bank now a minute versus 242 |
| 5233s | charge had just i think barely enough |
| 5234s | time to work through there uh expect |
| 5236s | jimmy to go from the i was going to say |
| 5238s | ash but he'll actually go forwards |
| 5240s | would it make the first and foremost |
| 5242s | obviously still can just play the ash on |
| 5244s | the exit as again they're trying to |
| 5246s | break the spawn hole right so this is a |
| 5247s | good character |
| 5250s | oh already investment of the shot void |
| 5252s | goes down in spite of that dragons i |
| 5254s | mean they're just backed off immediately |
| 5255s | right |
| 5256s | they have to |
| 5257s | yeah they'll be lucky to not lose more |
| 5259s | than that but i think who i used it so |
| 5260s | that's gonna be four out of five gondola |
| 5261s | the only survivor |
| 5263s | i don't think they can chase them down |
| 5265s | yeah he's too far away but |
| 5267s | four out of five void going down |
| 5268s | straight away it's uh that's a rough one |
| 5270s | troy gets a parting gift from that now |
| 5272s | remember herex with one minute |
| 5274s | everything counts here for the dragons |
| 5275s | for the charge rather so i mean as much |
| 5277s | distance as they can get if they can cap |
| 5278s | a i think they'll be in a winning |
| 5279s | position winnable i think |
| 5281s | yeah i think the biggest thing for the |
| 5282s | dragons though is that they know that |
| 5284s | charge have to play the cart right they |
| 5285s | have to play on the car which means that |
| 5288s | one of their players or potentially |
| 5289s | multiple player their players if they |
| 5291s | swap around that duty is gonna be forced |
| 5293s | to play a very static position in this |
| 5296s | meta you do not want that |
| 5299s | jimmy just got completely dashed in by |
| 5301s | who are you but we'll survive the green |
| 5302s | hp from wrong mining shot will save the |
| 5304s | day here no ultimates on board just yet |
| 5306s | from either team dragons in a great |
| 5308s | defendable position and lip i think he |
| 5311s | caught somebody with a rail gun but |
| 5312s | didn't get the kill in fact they are the |
| 5313s | ones that lose members they've got two |
| 5314s | down now three two alive for dragons |
| 5316s | it's not enough to hold up we talk about |
| 5318s | charge capping a to give themselves a |
| 5320s | wonderful position and they might just |
| 5322s | get that lip with the fade away kill |
| 5324s | but only lip alive not gonna be enough |
| 5327s | starting to wonder if the broader |
| 5329s | storyline about charge the fact they had |
| 5332s | a rocky start turn things back around |
| 5334s | heating up potentially at the right time |
| 5337s | could that be the same story that we |
| 5338s | have here in this series now in overtime |
| 5341s | they continue this push two fight wins |
| 5343s | in a row decisive ones at that i mean |
| 5346s | this feels like a kind of different gear |
| 5349s | for the charge already and i will be a |
| 5351s | little bit concerned for jimmy because |
| 5352s | you don't have the same pop-up potential |
| 5354s | on the ash like you do on the sojourn |
| 5355s | can't just get those opening picks the |
| 5356s | way that lip cans will see if looking |
| 5358s | down deliver that with the overclock |
| 5359s | choice of one he pulls plate he's dead |
| 5361s | soon he just couldn't save him from now |
| 5362s | on critical hp and that will probably be |
| 5364s | the fight done now you pop both support |
| 5366s | ultimates but there's not enough players |
| 5368s | still alive and legit going with a |
| 5370s | celebration sound barrier jimmy can do |
| 5372s | nothing on the side zernius the soul |
| 5374s | lucio |
| 5375s | waves goodbye to the payload and the |
| 5377s | guangzhou charge it was a good effort |
| 5380s | they're right on that second hairpin |
| 5383s | going up the hill of b gotta say though |
| 5385s | it's a respectable amount of distance |
| 5387s | and effort coming through from the |
| 5388s | ground charge but when that fight |
| 5390s | started to go the way of dragons it |
| 5391s | really went the way of dragons |
| 5392s | initiating match |
| 5395s | i i love that though from charge i feel |
| 5397s | like with what they had the resources |
| 5399s | that were available they got so much |
| 5401s | value i mean especially from the time |
| 5405s | now dragons where i mean considerable |
| 5408s | advantage coming into round three now |
| 5410s | moving into around four here it i mean |
| 5413s | that advantage feels all but gone right |
| 5415s | i mean certainly yes it's still dragons |
| 5417s | but you look ahead what needs to happen |
| 5419s | for dragons to equalize it or rather |
| 5422s | surpass more importantly and you're |
| 5425s | looking at three fight wins probably |
| 5428s | that you have to take unless things go |
| 5430s | very differently and maybe you can fit a |
| 5432s | fourth if you're the charge remember |
| 5434s | three fight wins is asking a lot 240. |
| 5437s | there's uh there's one other extra |
| 5438s | important thing as well you do see a lot |
| 5440s | of teams after capping a you get a lot |
| 5442s | of free push and a lot of very |
| 5443s | aggressive you know movements from four |
| 5446s | members while one person is pushing |
| 5447s | payload four members are running at the |
| 5450s | literal spawn of the defending team as |
| 5452s | both the genjis will wave at each other |
| 5453s | through the opening spawn gates here uh |
| 5456s | and also how successful the charge |
| 5458s | opening spawn camp is |
| 5460s | will be very telling because this is |
| 5461s | where you shave time off you can get a |
| 5463s | somewhat successful spawn camp |
| 5464s | dragons lose that time but the most |
| 5466s | important thing is |
| 5468s | dragons or rather charged cannot allow |
| 5470s | dragons to get that sort of momentum |
| 5472s | that a lot of teams usually get on b |
| 5474s | that will be the end of their map and |
| 5475s | their series if that happens |
| 5479s | oh nice first pick there from charge and |
| 5481s | the momentum that dragon needs to |
| 5482s | establish early on |
| 5485s | oh |
| 5486s | not going to get it |
| 5488s | with these flights jimmyable you can |
| 5490s | always get those opening frags which is |
| 5492s | any frags |
| 5493s | look now comes through on the watermaker |
| 5494s | so it's a mixed bag of like different |
| 5496s | you know opening hero choices yeah the |
| 5498s | watermark eventually gets ogen as the |
| 5501s | payload starts pushing on through so |
| 5502s | you'll say that's been semi-successful |
| 5504s | for charge so far i mean they haven't |
| 5505s | dropped members they got kills |
| 5508s | dragons are slowed down you mentioned |
| 5509s | that even with two something minutes |
| 5511s | it's you know it can be tricky so if |
| 5513s | charge can win from this positioning |
| 5515s | this opening a has to be pretty damn |
| 5517s | good |
| 5520s | at least a win there for dragons one of |
| 5522s | the fights that they would have had to |
| 5523s | have won they actually just take because |
| 5525s | of pressure so they didn't even have to |
| 5527s | win that fight to start sending this |
| 5529s | cart forward now we get into the second |
| 5531s | stage this front corner here coming |
| 5533s | around this turn this is all important |
| 5535s | they have to find prong if they want to |
| 5537s | keep pushing forward the kron's low he |
| 5539s | is going to be the target here shanghai |
| 5541s | dragons have loved to go for it but |
| 5542s | choice it won i mean they'll get both |
| 5544s | they'll get three they just keep on |
| 5545s | going zones and jimmy now only ones are |
| 5547s | alive they're trying to slow things down |
| 5548s | look if you are going to lose the fight |
| 5549s | you want to go on the payload to at |
| 5550s | least slow things down and this is now |
| 5552s | the difficult position for the charge to |
| 5554s | be in as the payload does come on |
| 5556s | through dragons |
| 5558s | think about pushing further forward but |
| 5559s | you also notice that charge lost that |
| 5561s | fight while the payload was not quite at |
| 5564s | the end just yet so this will give |
| 5565s | charge an opportunity to at least |
| 5566s | regroup |
| 5568s | big thing here for dragons they get that |
| 5570s | cap they still have a minute you look at |
| 5572s | time to old for all these characters |
| 5574s | they're all even across the board for |
| 5575s | the dragons there's more than enough |
| 5577s | opportunity here for them and they even |
| 5579s | could potentially lose this fight and |
| 5580s | still have that opportunity next |
| 5582s | although i think right now given their |
| 5584s | advantage |
| 5585s | it's all right here |
| 5586s | you have to be careful because the |
| 5587s | dragons lose they can't get spawn kept |
| 5588s | as well and that is probably going to be |
| 5590s | exactly what they need who are you pulls |
| 5591s | the blade shout to come on through sound |
| 5593s | barriers mixed in from both sides the |
| 5595s | rallies will not be pulled to both ends |
| 5596s | as well choices one down charge can't |
| 5599s | pull their own play they're down to only |
| 5600s | four members jimmy has the same day |
| 5601s | jimmy has to get this overclock in |
| 5603s | otherwise it could be lights out lip |
| 5604s | will get the overclock first putting the |
| 5606s | rails and looking for the damage and the |
| 5607s | right damage has been found from the far |
| 5609s | way it's falling apart charge this is |
| 5611s | the final defense jimmy gets shut down |
| 5613s | there's not gonna be the rail coming |
| 5614s | through it's not going to be any savior |
| 5616s | or saving moments from the grand jury |
| 5618s | charge it was a great effort second |
| 5621s | uh hamp in there |
| 5622s | a decent amount of distance on their |
| 5624s | attack but the shanghai dragons they |
| 5626s | will not be denied the three and zero it |
| 5628s | was competitive but i think the dragons |
| 5631s | we expected them to win we expect them |
| 5633s | to win by quite a clean margin as well |
| 5635s | and they've done all the above |
| 5637s | i think coming away from this series as |
| 5639s | well as of course we're gonna have so |
| 5641s | many conversations about shanghai |
| 5643s | dragons and you know obviously what |
| 5645s | they're capable of especially now that |
| 5647s | it feels like they're looking more like |
| 5649s | the shanghai dragons that we're used to |
| 5652s | but charge i feel like coming into this |
| 5654s | we had that early question right we had |
| 5657s | that question of what is their ceiling i |
| 5659s | think now we have at least an indication |
| 5661s | maybe not a full answer but at least an |
| 5663s | indication of what that may be and i |
| 5665s | think that puts them more in line with |
| 5666s | some of the |
| 5667s | uh other teams that are here obviously |
| 5669s | there's |
| 5670s | still the potential of seeing them take |
| 5672s | on shanghai dragons again and they've |
| 5674s | gotten better over time so perhaps that |
| 5676s | could look like a great match in the |
| 5678s | future if they get there but either way |
| 5681s | charge looks just phenomenal |
| 5685s | yeah and uh this is maybe a crazy take |
| 5687s | here x but this game in some ways |
| 5689s | reminds me of the seoul shanghai game as |
| 5691s | well it's a 3-0 but it kind of feels |
| 5693s | close to giving the absolutely good play |
| 5695s | uh so i think there's still a bit of |
| 5697s | hope there still left for the guangzhou |
| 5699s | charge but play the match here for the |
| 5700s | shanghai dragons their threesome victory |
| 5702s | is gonna go to who are you i think it |
| 5704s | was you know a very obvious pick he's |
| 5706s | got a number of the player matches so |
| 5708s | far in this particular season and he |
| 5710s | doesn't disappoint in this game i think |
| 5712s | the early oasis did look a little bit |
| 5714s | rough when troy was getting them better |
| 5716s | of him in several fights not every |
| 5718s | single fight but a couple of them but as |
| 5720s | the series went on here i think who are |
| 5722s | you just uh you just leveled up more and |
| 5723s | more and more and the charge failed to |
| 5725s | contain it |
| 5726s | yeah this would actually be a really |
| 5727s | hard one for me to to go through and |
| 5729s | select because obviously if charge wins |
| 5731s | you're looking at choice of one because |
| 5733s | of how much value they got early in the |
| 5735s | fight lip had some really strong first |
| 5738s | opening picks that kind of set the tone |
| 5740s | for dragons and allowed them to turn |
| 5741s | back around but obviously the |
| 5742s | performance from who are you it's all |
| 5744s | about consistency with this player right |
| 5747s | it's just over the course of how many |
| 5749s | years has this player been considered |
| 5752s | one of if not the best genji's and now |
| 5754s | we're in a meta where he can just go |
| 5756s | lights out that's exactly what we got |
| 5758s | here even against choice of one who was |
| 5760s | playing so well where you still stood up |
| 5762s | to that test |
| 5764s | yeah even despite him basically being |
| 5766s | benched the entire year last year you |
| 5768s | know he kind of got a free ring off the |
| 5771s | you know shanghai dragons championship |
| 5772s | despite playing i think 20 minutes total |
| 5775s | now he is legitimately a starting member |
| 5777s | uh and i think the most important member |
| 5779s | on the team i mean all the biggest |
| 5780s | successes that dragons have had have |
| 5782s | been off the back of who are you |
| 5783s | specifically on the genji and if they |
| 5785s | are to win this tournament if the |
| 5786s | dragons are to bounce back finally and |
| 5788s | get their first title of 2022 it's crazy |
| 5791s | that we're we're still talking about |
| 5792s | their first title 20 20 they haven't |
| 5794s | gotten anything yet it will be off the |
| 5795s | back of whoever |
| 5799s | the summer showdown and uh move through |
| 5801s | they do as they will now head towards |
| 5803s | our winner bracket final and they will |
| 5805s | be they're waiting for the winner of our |
| 5807s | next series philadelphia fusion |
| 5809s | versus the seoul dynasty so um quantum |
| 5812s | charge moving down the office face to |
| 5814s | loser here uh an expected result here x |
| 5817s | let's go to a bit of a quick break here |
| 5819s | when we come back for the |
| 5821s | breakdown we'll talk about a little bit |
| 5823s | more how we felt about that series and |
| 5824s | moving forward as well so see you soon |
| 5830s | the on watchig is brought to you by |
| 5831s | upper deck the official trading card of |

| 6024s | welcome to game break here i'm going to |
| 6026s | charge over and three down versus the |
| 6028s | dragons in a full sweep victory heading |
| 6031s | now into the winners finals so uh strong |
| 6035s | looking dragons as we expected but as |
| 6037s | you can also see from the score line |
| 6039s | below you it wasn't without a bit of |
| 6041s | turmoil i mean the charge really |
| 6043s | especially i think on circle royale here |
| 6045s | x kind of uh gave it to the dragons made |
| 6047s | it competitive |
| 6049s | yeah i think that's been kind of the |
| 6050s | story for the dragons for their last two |
| 6052s | series right they've had to actually |
| 6053s | battle |
| 6054s | and when you tie in the fusion matchup |
| 6057s | where they lost a map there as well this |
| 6059s | has certainly been |
| 6060s | dragons put to a test in a big way and i |
| 6064s | think a lot of that test came on to who |
| 6067s | are you here with choice of one really |
| 6069s | focusing him out trying to take him out |
| 6071s | of these fights but dragons i think the |
| 6073s | best thing that they did for themselves |
| 6074s | was adapt to that strategy where you |
| 6077s | start playing a little bit further back |
| 6079s | they started playing more disengaged |
| 6080s | centric and the dragons found a way to |
| 6083s | kind of play the mid fight to their |
| 6085s | advantage instead |
| 6086s | and i really liked some of the you know |
| 6088s | mid game decision making by the shanghai |
| 6091s | dragons um and part of that crucially |
| 6093s | for me was on circle royale when again |
| 6095s | they had that |
| 6096s | what was it the the brigitte rally from |
| 6099s | izuyaki which pushed charged back and |
| 6101s | charged respected enough to just like |
| 6103s | not even engage it and it was a zoning |
| 6105s | rally but that was enough like a zorring |
| 6107s | rally |
| 6108s | actually then |
| 6109s | led to the shanghai dragons putting |
| 6110s | themselves in a positional advantage |
| 6112s | position to get a fight win and kind of |
| 6114s | snowball from this i think that just |
| 6116s | stuff like that where you're willing to |
| 6118s | give up ultimates that give you no |
| 6120s | tangible value but the intangibles the |
| 6122s | intangible of like kind of forcing the |
| 6124s | charge away and buying yourself space |
| 6126s | ends up giving you a lot to work through |
| 6127s | just stuff like that is great to see |
| 6128s | from dragons |
| 6130s | yeah i think that's probably a more |
| 6131s | nuanced version of what you see out of |
| 6133s | baiting ultimates to get out of spawn |
| 6135s | holds |
| 6136s | i think when you look at the dragons |
| 6138s | what they're really really good about is |
| 6141s | finding those little advantages and |
| 6143s | really exploiting them other teams i |
| 6145s | think aren't as consistent they |
| 6147s | certainly know them i mean we have to |
| 6148s | give respect to all the teams that are |
| 6150s | here even a team that we're going to be |
| 6152s | seeing a little bit later that only has |
| 6153s | two wins every one of these teams is |
| 6156s | very very smart they understand how to |
| 6158s | play this and i think the major |
| 6159s | difference with dragons is the fact that |
| 6161s | they're extremely consistency about |
| 6165s | sorry consistent with the things that |
| 6167s | they're able to exploit and how often |
| 6169s | they're able to do it and when they |
| 6171s | start getting exploited they can adapt |
| 6172s | very much on the fly like we saw after |
| 6175s | that first map yeah it just seems like |
| 6177s | you know despite charge being number |
| 6179s | three seed here four and two record the |
| 6181s | only two losses were to seoul and |
| 6182s | shanghai |
| 6183s | they still haven't been able to sort of |
| 6185s | cross their barrier of getting one map |
| 6186s | versus shanghai so it's a zero and six |
| 6188s | versus shanghai so far in this |
| 6190s | particular tournament stage in the |
| 6191s | summer showdown across both qualifiers |
| 6193s | and now the tournament itself but the |
| 6194s | tournament here x does continue we're |
| 6196s | going to go to another break when we |
| 6197s | come back fusion versus dynasty it's |
| 6199s | number two versus number four we've seen |
| 6201s | this match up so many times in the past |
| 6203s | and it does deliver so we'll see you on |
| 6205s | the other side for match number two |
| 6221s | [Music] |
| 6260s | [Music] |
| 6274s | [Music] |
| 6323s | [Music] |
| 6343s | me |
| 6344s | [Music] |
| 6350s | so |
| 6358s | [Music] |
| 6421s | welcome to the overwatch league here for |
| 6423s | the summer showdown tournament with me |
| 6425s | avril and herrick's about to head into |
| 6428s | our second matchup of the day we just |
| 6430s | witnessed the shanghai dragons getting a |
| 6431s | 3-0 sweep versus the guangzhou charge |
| 6434s | and now it's time for philly to take on |
| 6436s | the seoul dynasty |
| 6438s | yeah this was going to be the match that |
| 6440s | i mean granted in the first series we |
| 6441s | got a great one but this was feeling |
| 6443s | like it was gonna be |
| 6444s | really i think the most hotly contested |
| 6447s | series that we're gonna see today |
| 6448s | hopefully that still pans out but seoul |
| 6451s | dynasty they're a team that you know |
| 6453s | i think seoul dynasty |
| 6456s | they're one of the best teams in this |
| 6458s | region there's a lot of discussion |
| 6459s | though of course about are we seeing a |
| 6461s | little bit of a mirroring effect to |
| 6463s | mid-season madness i think you know |
| 6465s | certainly as we talk more about them we |
| 6467s | could probably temper that at least to a |
| 6469s | degree but fusion they played spoiled to |
| 6472s | both of these teams seoul dynasty and of |
| 6474s | course shanghai dragons they had those |
| 6476s | golden stages set up and fusion spoiled |
| 6478s | those they have i think like we talked |
| 6480s | about already a little bit of a layer of |
| 6482s | chaos about them they can play the |
| 6484s | spoiler they also have the potential to |
| 6486s | have a really high ceiling and take |
| 6488s | series potentially not just maps against |
| 6490s | some of these teams that are more |
| 6491s | potentially established right |
| 6493s | well let's meet the opening lineup for |
| 6494s | the philadelphia fusion and yes it is m3 |
| 6497s | on board currently as uh you know we |
| 6499s | we've had long discussions about what |
| 6501s | fusion are trying to achieve in terms of |
| 6503s | their substitutions uh cafe played the |
| 6506s | majority of the games the qualifier but |
| 6508s | uh you know fusion really struggled and |
| 6510s | since having m3 back on the siding |
| 6511s | lineup they've you know come back into |
| 6513s | form we look at their final week's worth |
| 6515s | of performances but versus seoul |
| 6517s | and the win versus hunger spark i mean |
| 6519s | it definitely does |
| 6520s | give you a good feeling about fusion now |
| 6522s | having this upswing late into the |
| 6525s | tournament qualify into the extra |
| 6526s | tournament itself and that's dangerous |
| 6528s | and this is why i think dragons wanted |
| 6530s | to avoid the philadelphia fusion in the |
| 6531s | opening matchup because we saw them |
| 6533s | three zero quantum they're comfortable |
| 6534s | versus the guangzhou charge fusion as |
| 6537s | you mentioned it's a mixed bag because |
| 6539s | their peaks are so high look their lows |
| 6541s | have been very low as well |
| 6543s | when the fusion really kick into high |
| 6544s | gear they can be anybody here they can |
| 6546s | beat the dragons they can beat the soul |
| 6547s | dynasty and if you are fusion i don't |
| 6549s | think you're even necessarily scared of |
| 6551s | soul today even though they've had your |
| 6552s | number in the past seoul have beaten the |
| 6554s | fusion |
| 6555s | this year especially far more than |
| 6557s | fusion have been evil been able to beat |
| 6559s | souls just at one time right and |
| 6561s | still have to be careful here because |
| 6562s | fusion have only looked to go from |
| 6564s | strength to strength but they have to |
| 6565s | find that level of consistency now at |
| 6568s | seoul dynasty we'll take a look at their |
| 6569s | starting lineup as well they have been |
| 6572s | one of our most dominant teams this year |
| 6574s | they started as our most dominant team |
| 6577s | in the summer showdown qualifiers and |
| 6579s | they're still our second seed for a good |
| 6580s | reason |
| 6582s | yeah absolutely i think you know again |
| 6584s | just to bring up there's a lot of talk |
| 6586s | okay are we are we getting seoul dynasty |
| 6588s | back into kind of that |
| 6590s | mid-season madness swing or is this |
| 6592s | something different i think |
| 6594s | we can at least sort of answer that |
| 6596s | right i mean starting off 12-0 in maps |
| 6598s | they had a great |
| 6600s | start to this tournament or rather this |
| 6602s | this stage and now going into this |
| 6604s | tournament |
| 6605s | yes they did drop a series but it was |
| 6607s | against shanghai and yes it was a 3-0 |
| 6610s | but it was a lot closer i mean certainly |
| 6612s | you look at that that that series and i |
| 6615s | think you could easily tell that the |
| 6617s | score line doesn't necessarily reflect |
| 6620s | what happens when you look at the film |
| 6622s | when you look at what how |
| 6623s | everything actually broke down and at an |
| 6626s | individual level dynasty still has |
| 6628s | incredible talent and it's not like you |
| 6629s | just lose out on what started you off so |
| 6632s | hot early on in this stage i think |
| 6635s | really this is more of a situation where |
| 6638s | philly fusion can easily play up to some |
| 6640s | of these teams and i think we need to |
| 6641s | start respecting that and seoul dynasty |
| 6643s | they took a loss for the dragons but |
| 6645s | again it's the dragons and it was a lot |
| 6647s | closer than the 3-0 would otherwise |
| 6649s | suggest |
| 6650s | and i've called this matchup in the past |
| 6651s | this rivalry is a spaghetti bowl in an |
| 6653s | endearing way uh and |
| 6656s | really in a daring way because |
| 6657s | especially this year both teams have |
| 6659s | looked a lot more solid compared to |
| 6661s | previous you know seasons of the |
| 6662s | overwatch league especially for the sol |
| 6664s | dynasty now they've actually have a |
| 6666s | title under their belt their first ever |
| 6668s | title and their organizers organizations |
| 6670s | history fusion still left one thing for |
| 6672s | that one that's why the kick of clash |
| 6673s | final was so great because somebody had |
| 6675s | to win right it was such a legendary |
| 6678s | match-up and uh you know rivalry leading |
| 6680s | into it so |
| 6681s | it does kind of continue because these |
| 6683s | two teams i think it's eight and five is |
| 6686s | the overall record between them favoring |
| 6687s | seoul but uh this year so far two in one |
| 6690s | of rather three in one could they extend |
| 6692s | that one further |
| 6693s | in the past in 2021 it's gone two and |
| 6695s | two so fusion were a lot closer that |
| 6697s | year but now with fusion sort of looking |
| 6699s | a lot more dangerous catching up in that |
| 6701s | three and two victory that seoul dynasty |
| 6703s | got over fusion that's one that i think |
| 6706s | seoul are probably not too pleased with |
| 6707s | they probably would have enjoyed a much |
| 6709s | cleaner game and for fusion i don't |
| 6711s | think they can be too upset about that |
| 6712s | either they still managed to qualify by |
| 6714s | beating hangzhou and they took a very |
| 6715s | close game to seoul which now they can |
| 6717s | rectify by beating seoul if they can do |
| 6720s | that first map gonna be in nepal |
| 6723s | already uh very interesting start here i |
| 6725s | think nepal you know we look at some of |
| 6727s | these control maps and i think a lot of |
| 6729s | the discussion around this map starter |
| 6732s | especially in this meta is that there's |
| 6734s | not as much of a difference |
| 6736s | generally when you talk about the |
| 6737s | different control maps but i think that |
| 6739s | when you start to take into account the |
| 6741s | playstyle differences |
| 6743s | that these teams are going to have |
| 6745s | especially now that you talk about the |
| 6747s | mixed bag that fusion can often be |
| 6749s | especially when we've really had limited |
| 6752s | looks at mn3 being a part of this as |
| 6754s | well that could very drastically change |
| 6755s | the way that fusion play |
| 6757s | i think seoul dynasty versus fusion |
| 6760s | getting a good read here in this first |
| 6762s | map is going to be pivotal for how the |
| 6764s | rest of this series could go |
| 6766s | all right we'll see how it breaks down |
| 6767s | because the seoul dynasty did lose the |
| 6769s | opening oasis to philadelphia fusion in |
| 6771s | their last match up against three to two |
| 6773s | victory for seoul but they dropped the |
| 6774s | opening away so they did pick up the |
| 6776s | final busan map so control going both |
| 6779s | ways one and one a piece fits starting |
| 6781s | out here on the sergeant i'm not the |
| 6783s | sergeant of the ash rather it's gonna be |
| 6784s | soldier for mn3 smoke already taking a |
| 6786s | bit of damage both teams have now popped |
| 6788s | the commanding shouts salt dynasty kind |
| 6790s | of locked up in the lobby though they |
| 6792s | need to break on out |
| 6793s | and out they come |
| 6795s | possessed but the game just trying to |
| 6796s | create some damage as this falls first |
| 6799s | looks like fusion can actually back off |
| 6802s | here at least a little bit and they need |
| 6804s | to they don't want to give away too much |
| 6805s | old charge i mean once you lose a fight |
| 6808s | like that you lose control early and |
| 6809s | you're also kind of giving this slow |
| 6812s | push over to the dynasty where they're |
| 6814s | going to get even more of a lead here |
| 6816s | on top of the fact that they're playing |
| 6818s | the ash so getting set up defensively |
| 6820s | here is going to bode well for them as |
| 6822s | things move forward i think that's |
| 6824s | probably the main concern if i'm fusion |
| 6826s | i think you you need to have good sight |
| 6828s | lines for fits as well as your |
| 6829s | defendable angles i think the difficulty |
| 6831s | of playing ash in this meta is that it's |
| 6833s | a lot easier to flank and actually just |
| 6834s | get on top of an ash whereas you know |
| 6836s | sergeant has a lot more to play with in |
| 6837s | her kit i think the disruptive shot |
| 6839s | importantly will kind of make things |
| 6841s | difficult for a genji and also the first |
| 6843s | potential soldier is so much higher is |
| 6845s | also fitz might be playing a little bit |
| 6847s | uphill if he's not too careful then dame |
| 6848s | gets away with his life zest didn't have |
| 6850s | the dash available to go on in to find |
| 6852s | the execution |
| 6854s | point though might just get capped over |
| 6855s | is contested have to be careful about |
| 6856s | that one soul can't let that one go away |
| 6858s | from three |
| 6859s | blades should be coming up soon stalker |
| 6861s | on 95 sulker and just gets a kill on the |
| 6863s | fixture so it might not even matter here |
| 6865s | prophet needs to be a little bit careful |
| 6867s | to not die with the rally seoul dynasty |
| 6869s | versus two okay that got a little bit |
| 6870s | tricky him and three popped up with two |
| 6872s | shots there herrick's but it will still |
| 6873s | go the way i'll solve dynasty to retain |
| 6875s | the cap they retain most it plays alive |
| 6878s | in three got tricky but still dynasty |
| 6880s | don't lose |
| 6881s | it's interesting to see what how these |
| 6882s | fights take place too because this is |
| 6884s | certainly a much slower tempo than what |
| 6886s | we just had in our previous match up |
| 6888s | we're seeing pressure definitely getting |
| 6890s | placed down upon dynasty but they're not |
| 6892s | utilizing a lot of their resources to |
| 6894s | stabilize they're allowing their team to |
| 6896s | kind of sit at about half hp and then |
| 6898s | once the fusion commits that's when they |
| 6900s | do as well |
| 6901s | okay here's the committal now aiming |
| 6902s | three going into bob responds to the |
| 6904s | opposite end i believe just got moved |
| 6905s | back slightly and now pooped off the map |
| 6907s | sophia will just take care of the bomb |
| 6910s | goodbye stalker low hp wants to pull |
| 6912s | play they're playing patiently here they |
| 6913s | being assault dynasty they still have |
| 6915s | point control but now the swaps and the |
| 6917s | trades rather will come on through four |
| 6919s | versus three play to save the day zest |
| 6921s | needs to get something good done out of |
| 6922s | here because with fix it gone and ain't |
| 6924s | got dead there's just no supports and |
| 6925s | it's final fight church he's sold |
| 6926s | dynasty he might just get a 100 to zero |
| 6928s | finisher zest |
| 6930s | he needs to do a lot more on that but he |
| 6931s | just can't because the supports of seoul |
| 6933s | dynasty keeps everybody up final ram |
| 6936s | patron smurf goes across fixer i believe |
| 6938s | that was an ajax unlucky and 100 has |
| 6942s | been found but even had fixer dropped in |
| 6944s | the sound barrier i don't know that it |
| 6946s | would have made a difference |
| 6948s | yeah a desperate investment there for |
| 6949s | fusion i mean forced because of the fact |
| 6951s | that dynasty was just on top of them as |
| 6954s | soon as we saw dynasty win out that |
| 6955s | neutral engagement |
| 6957s | they were just easily in control and i |
| 6959s | think a lot of that certainly determined |
| 6961s | by the fact that their cooldown usage is |
| 6963s | just so effective against this playstyle |
| 6965s | that fusion are trying to go for where |
| 6966s | they're out pressuring constantly trying |
| 6968s | to find that opening and see zest trying |
| 6971s | to invest and finding that execution |
| 6973s | like we saw between choi |
| 6975s | and who are you but dynasty they're |
| 6978s | they're the team that is playing that |
| 6979s | disengage style they're looking to |
| 6980s | absorb that pressure and then once |
| 6982s | fusion commits they still have resources |
| 6984s | they still have cooldowns despite their |
| 6985s | health part not seeming like they do |
| 6988s | they do |
| 6989s | and fitz was well protected there as |
| 6990s | well he had zero deaths as well as smurf |
| 6992s | with zero deaths on that first opening |
| 6993s | round hundred to zero so you know you |
| 6996s | you know it's difficult for you when |
| 6997s | your ash is kind of struggling that |
| 6999s | match up uh is not being defended well |
| 7001s | but uh fitz was just kind of free firing |
| 7003s | for the most part which is what you want |
| 7005s | out of space in that specific situation |
| 7007s | into the second round though bunch of |
| 7009s | damage being taken by salt dynasty but |
| 7011s | returning to the case and look at that i |
| 7013s | mean despite stalker dashing in for the |
| 7015s | kill to aim god it will be fitz finding |
| 7017s | him as well as zest and once again the |
| 7019s | soul virus is getting a very early clean |
| 7021s | up onto the photo fusion and fairly |
| 7023s | responsive next stork is the only dead |
| 7024s | so far and he'll remain the only death |
| 7026s | in the first fight |
| 7028s | really good start here for seoul dynasty |
| 7030s | i think that's again why i try to play |
| 7033s | down the notion that seoul dynasty is |
| 7035s | for some reason fizzling out because we |
| 7037s | saw them take one loss against |
| 7039s | the shanghai dragons and they dropped |
| 7041s | the map as well well this is still seoul |
| 7043s | dynasty and they're here to stay it |
| 7045s | seems like they're still one of those |
| 7046s | top teams in this region but |
| 7048s | philadelphia fusion they have to turn up |
| 7049s | the heat right here and right now |
| 7051s | another potentially neutral fight |
| 7053s | obviously positional control the dynasty |
| 7055s | but pass to find a pick here fusion to |
| 7058s | be able to move forward |
| 7059s | yeah and it's been you know 130 percent |
| 7062s | worth of including sanctum as well where |
| 7064s | people haven't won a fight yet so this |
| 7066s | entire opening has been pretty dangerous |
| 7068s | so stalker deflect the railgun shot so |
| 7071s | foreign thankfully not back into his own |
| 7072s | head |
| 7074s | but are struggling here from fusion to |
| 7075s | be able to walk on full they really are |
| 7077s | trying to rely on m three to maybe find |
| 7078s | an opening and there it is they get what |
| 7079s | they wanted salt danish is now down by |
| 7081s | one for the definition can finally walk |
| 7083s | on four can they get more they will get |
| 7085s | more possessed gets punished there's |
| 7086s | still a four being three supporters |
| 7088s | about to come online in the three |
| 7090s | virtual further member and mn3 is just |
| 7093s | popping up three kills so far make it |
| 7095s | four the rails have been phenomenal here |
| 7097s | and three he's got about have the |
| 7099s | overclock already |
| 7101s | i remember too man three came in kind of |
| 7103s | late in the season as well got injected |
| 7106s | in here |
| 7107s | to try to find some other way for the |
| 7109s | fusion and it seems to have worked i |
| 7111s | mean between m3 and zest they feel so |
| 7113s | fluid together like they really have |
| 7116s | something there and now we can see in |
| 7118s | control especially with the overclock |
| 7120s | can they find picks against the double |
| 7121s | support that dynasty have we'll find out |
| 7124s | because the first couple of rails are |
| 7125s | now firing on through and they really |
| 7126s | want smurf down shouts already been used |
| 7128s | profit trying to keep the players up via |
| 7130s | the rallies extra sound barriers still |
| 7132s | being held on through vintay wants to |
| 7133s | save that one possessed who does take a |
| 7135s | bit of a damage and even three just at |
| 7137s | least profit goodbye out of the server |
| 7138s | five versus four m three's rails |
| 7140s | continue to find value in this round so |
| 7143s | far on trying the salt dynasty they look |
| 7145s | like they're just gonna back on out they |
| 7147s | need five |
| 7148s | they have to profit down |
| 7150s | and on top of that |
| 7151s | a big trade for fusion they're getting |
| 7153s | back in control here |
| 7155s | great investment great pick there as |
| 7157s | well |
| 7159s | this is just it's never ending |
| 7160s | immigration keeps poor piling on the |
| 7163s | damage of the soul dynasty |
| 7165s | and a soul dynasty |
| 7167s | consistently out of four versus five in |
| 7169s | these last couple of fights and engages |
| 7172s | and look at the economy as well here |
| 7173s | experience about to get this rampage |
| 7175s | about with four lights online look seoul |
| 7176s | also have about four ultimates coming in |
| 7179s | but unless they can get past him and |
| 7180s | three on the rotation it's just looking |
| 7182s | bad for salt they have plenty to play |
| 7185s | through here so opportunity on board i |
| 7187s | mean three downfits gets his revenge |
| 7188s | it's been it's such an important member |
| 7190s | to get down early fixing low hp some |
| 7192s | blame to pop the sound barrier vindem |
| 7193s | already popped smurf coming through the |
| 7195s | rampage in just a hot second and s has |
| 7197s | his blade shut down stalker still |
| 7199s | slashing takes down ain't got no more |
| 7201s | rally available fix it did in that fight |
| 7203s | as well no chance to pop the sound barry |
| 7204s | and the salt dynasty off the back of |
| 7206s | killing airmen three early from fitz's |
| 7208s | rail will get the job done |
| 7212s | huge win for them obviously getting that |
| 7213s | first pick that's pivotal it's set |
| 7216s | things up so well for them because now |
| 7218s | you talk about the reward well fusion |
| 7220s | has sound barrier but they i mean they |
| 7222s | invested three ultimates into a fight |
| 7223s | that they then lost and now dynasty if |
| 7225s | they win this next one that could clear |
| 7227s | it they could go 200 here as long as |
| 7230s | they remain vigilant and composed and |
| 7232s | this one looks so much better for the |
| 7233s | fusion but still you have to get past |
| 7235s | seoul in a position position of |
| 7238s | defending here with smurf coming up |
| 7239s | towards the rampage |
| 7241s | again fix it held on to sound barrier |
| 7242s | didn't get to use the last fight could |
| 7244s | be important here that's another |
| 7245s | deflected rail but again doesn't go into |
| 7247s | him and three it's fits to pull the |
| 7249s | overclock fixture just sound bearish |
| 7250s | can't afford to lose their smurf can now |
| 7252s | wait for the rampage to find maximum |
| 7254s | value it does only get the one i believe |
| 7256s | he was pooped in there they can still |
| 7257s | get that kill properly swept on low hp |
| 7259s | fury as well quite low but is this |
| 7261s | falling first when dame gets that kill |
| 7263s | so thanos gets 99 they can finish this |
| 7265s | one right here and now airmen three |
| 7267s | trying to put a stop this off even three |
| 7269s | try to save the day extra rally from |
| 7270s | profit to come on through its low hp for |
| 7272s | seoul even three though he's struggling |
| 7274s | to find these skills he's trying to find |
| 7275s | the picks and fitz is now in towards his |
| 7277s | face so vanessa they're about to get |
| 7280s | this one if fusion can't find any |
| 7282s | responses they can't even touch |
| 7284s | they can't even touch zest tried didn't |
| 7286s | get that |
| 7288s | unfortunate way for fusion to |
| 7290s | kind of fizzle out on that first map but |
| 7293s | either way i think |
| 7294s | they have found a way to adapt to this i |
| 7296s | think a lot of that is done through mn3 |
| 7298s | just being able to click people's heads |
| 7300s | much the same like we saw from you know |
| 7302s | lip in the last series but either way |
| 7306s | anything that you can find any value |
| 7308s | that you can attribute to getting some |
| 7310s | fight wins under your belt and actually |
| 7312s | establishing yourself in this series is |
| 7313s | something you're going to do and i think |
| 7314s | that's a big reason why fusion invested |
| 7317s | into mn3 and even more so invested in |
| 7319s | him |
| 7320s | now more than ever because he's able to |
| 7323s | turn the tides of a series just slightly |
| 7325s | but still of course we have to kind of |
| 7328s | set expectations as they should be in |
| 7330s | that dynasty they're still a top team |
| 7333s | and they've established that yet again |
| 7335s | yeah despite mm3's heroics on that |
| 7336s | second round right it just wasn't quite |
| 7338s | enough that i think 4k from m3 was one |
| 7340s | of the better lines of you know |
| 7342s | sequences in terms of highlight from the |
| 7344s | sojourn play that we've seen so far it |
| 7346s | was just really beautiful to see but you |
| 7348s | need a lot more from the fusion you need |
| 7349s | the rest of players being able to match |
| 7351s | up there as well very slow game and very |
| 7354s | slow start for zest who you normally |
| 7356s | expect to be in that carry position have |
| 7358s | to see if zest and the rest of fusion |
| 7360s | can bounce back on map number two that |
| 7361s | will be their pick as well but for now |
| 7363s | we'll take a bit of a break see you soon |

| 7605s | well i have some good news here here x |
| 7606s | fixer did in fact not uh ajax on that |
| 7609s | first round but unfortunately the bad |
| 7610s | news is it still ends up in a 2-0 so it |
| 7613s | doesn't really help either way whether |
| 7614s | the beat lands or not there for the |
| 7616s | philadelphia fusion a rough play to |
| 7618s | start up billy was 100 to zero on |
| 7620s | sanctum a lot closer on that second |
| 7622s | round 80 plus accumulated i think maybe |
| 7624s | even 90 therefore fusion but you know m3 |
| 7626s | can only do so much for the team |
| 7629s | yeah i think certainly the rest of |
| 7631s | fusion fusion's gonna have to step up |
| 7632s | and i think they're more than capable of |
| 7634s | doing just that as we've seen already |
| 7636s | this is |
| 7638s | a varying degree of of pacing and tempo |
| 7641s | obviously in our last series we saw |
| 7643s | things really really high octane just |
| 7646s | running each other down trying to find |
| 7647s | those opening picks |
| 7649s | initially things were slowed down soul |
| 7651s | really kind of helped to dictate things |
| 7653s | in that fashion of course a lot of that |
| 7655s | comes down to the fact that they were |
| 7657s | simply just using fits on an ash so they |
| 7660s | needed to do that but then once it came |
| 7662s | down to the mirror a lot more chaotic |
| 7665s | and i think that's where fusion once |
| 7667s | they start to establish some some better |
| 7669s | comfort in this series as a whole and |
| 7672s | they start getting a download out on |
| 7674s | okay what is dynasty doing well because |
| 7676s | they've been doing it well throughout |
| 7677s | the entirety of of this stage |
| 7680s | what could we do to start mitigating |
| 7682s | some of the efforts that they're doing |
| 7683s | and then also how can we enable zest in |
| 7685s | particular because obviously mn3 is |
| 7687s | doing what he's doing already |
| 7689s | now it's time to get zest involved again |
| 7691s | as we know he can |
| 7692s | i've got a couple of stat lines as well |
| 7694s | from that previous map that i think are |
| 7696s | quite a bit telling |
| 7697s | m3 obviously did as you'd expect he got |
| 7699s | the the largest amount of final blows on |
| 7701s | his team by quite a fair margin by the |
| 7702s | way he goes 10 for mn3 and then two for |
| 7704s | zest and then you know one for fear et |
| 7706s | cetera so it's like 10 and then two it's |
| 7708s | quite a large gap there so zest |
| 7710s | unfortunately just couldn't quite get |
| 7712s | too much done on the the genji but also |
| 7714s | across the board the damage was there |
| 7715s | for philly fusion they only did about |
| 7717s | 260 less damage as an entire team of |
| 7721s | five compared to seoul dynasty who only |
| 7722s | had by that amount and yep they were |
| 7725s | below they were down by nine final blows |
| 7726s | so the salt dynasty were hit by nine |
| 7728s | total final blows while only being ahead |
| 7730s | by 260 damage overall that really says |
| 7732s | to me that fusion kind of struggled to |
| 7734s | clean up members there there was also a |
| 7735s | lot more healing done by the sole |
| 7737s | dynasty so they're low hp they're in a |
| 7739s | position where they could die but then |
| 7740s | they get healed back up they disengage |
| 7742s | well and they don't lose numbers yeah i |
| 7744s | think a lot of that damage just came in |
| 7746s | pre-fight for fusion before everything |
| 7747s | really could stick whereas dynasty again |
| 7750s | they held their cooldowns they were |
| 7751s | looking for that pivot and they're doing |
| 7752s | that again here as well you can see them |
| 7754s | kind of posturing up onto the high |
| 7755s | ground and again utilizing fits on the |
| 7757s | ash they want fusion to come forward at |
| 7760s | them |
| 7761s | this is really a lot of fits ash that |
| 7763s | we're seeing today and i think hollywood |
| 7765s | will probably remember for 20 21 was a |
| 7766s | lot of fits ash finding values also |
| 7768s | replicating some of that performance |
| 7770s | through |
| 7773s | fusion are giving up a lot of space here |
| 7775s | fury obviously low hp hit the back on |
| 7776s | now the shot expended |
| 7778s | vin dame could be the first target no |
| 7780s | one cleaning him up there it is fix will |
| 7781s | find a very wayward headshot but you |
| 7783s | take those you take this for shorts one |
| 7785s | tick regardless for salt whether it's |
| 7786s | one or lose but they haven't been quite |
| 7788s | cleaned up circle will get a trade on to |
| 7791s | aim guard gonna be enough for seoul to |
| 7793s | get further than that the fusion have |
| 7794s | the player advantage and they will |
| 7795s | capitalize on said player advantage but |
| 7797s | like i also mentioned here x there is |
| 7799s | one tick given away |
| 7801s | and of course as well i mean you talk |
| 7803s | about shout timings that's one of the |
| 7804s | hardest things to see because one of the |
| 7807s | best ways to see it is if you could just |
| 7808s | barely make it out in the top left or |
| 7811s | top right of your screen or you hear it |
| 7813s | but that really favored fusion there |
| 7815s | they had a great timing mid-fight that |
| 7817s | they were able to just establish their |
| 7819s | dominance once they got slightly ahead |
| 7821s | and helped stabilize them as well now |
| 7823s | look at looking forward i'm expecting |
| 7825s | dynasty to kind of temper that |
| 7827s | aggression just a tad remember they |
| 7829s | still have fits on the ash so they want |
| 7830s | to poke out fusion as much as possible |
| 7834s | but they nearly got the second tick here |
| 7835s | as well fusion have to respond very |
| 7837s | quickly zest |
| 7838s | to build the blade they'll have the |
| 7839s | earlier sound barriers although it's |
| 7840s | very important because vin dame is far |
| 7841s | away stalker is still a reasonable |
| 7843s | length away as well from receiving his |
| 7845s | own ultimate confusion pull the trigger |
| 7847s | or pull the blade at any point yet and |
| 7849s | they might be forced to two ticks now |
| 7851s | giving away fusion just giving the |
| 7852s | objectives to the soul plessy |
| 7855s | bush does need to come to shove here |
| 7857s | double rallies pulled on through smurfs |
| 7859s | deleted what's going on there smurf went |
| 7861s | very far forward in seoul could not |
| 7862s | support him up in the three takes down |
| 7864s | fitz and with the blade coming through |
| 7866s | this will finally get a kill it's enough |
| 7868s | for the philadelphia fusion to win |
| 7869s | another fight but he eric's a second |
| 7871s | tick given away |
| 7873s | yeah i think fusion certainly would like |
| 7875s | to have at least that back but you can |
| 7876s | see them pushing up a little bit farther |
| 7878s | forward they know that seoul dynasty is |
| 7880s | building some of their ultimates but |
| 7881s | they may not be quite there yet so it's |
| 7883s | time to go defense is slow puts us down |
| 7886s | mm3 pulls that trigger on the overclock |
| 7888s | straight away this is a bold strategy |
| 7890s | coming through from the philadelphia |
| 7891s | fusion they want to get very aggressive |
| 7892s | and in three and four she goes a little |
| 7893s | bit too far up he was out of the loss of |
| 7895s | all of his healers and smith will now |
| 7897s | claim aim god as well this is for |
| 7899s | leading punish i think soul will count |
| 7900s | from here absolutely too many plays from |
| 7903s | fully down and this is the disengaged |
| 7905s | star by the way the ultimates here x |
| 7907s | seoul don't even have to alt they |
| 7909s | already got two ticks they got a cap |
| 7911s | all just came from an over extension |
| 7913s | there and i think that's why we you know |
| 7915s | we talk about philly fusion it's really |
| 7917s | hard to get a good feed on where they're |
| 7920s | at because when when they're playing |
| 7922s | well they're playing very well but |
| 7925s | sometimes there's just those little |
| 7926s | things that happen that other teams can |
| 7928s | take advantage of like seoul dynasty and |
| 7931s | of course like shanghai dragons as well |
| 7933s | i just don't think you can afford to |
| 7935s | kiss the spawn doors there right at me |
| 7936s | m3 fighting a lot more off than he can |
| 7939s | chew for sure and if you are fusion if |
| 7941s | you're going to lose a you want to burn |
| 7943s | ultimates off of dynasty here you're |
| 7944s | going to get another first pick |
| 7945s | brilliant to see it's all done actually |
| 7947s | though send out the bob this is now |
| 7948s | opportunity for seoul to just buy a bit |
| 7951s | of time regroup together okay it costs |
| 7953s | you an entire bob but it makes sure that |
| 7955s | no one else dies okay i'm lying actually |
| 7957s | just kills i was gonna say two one of |
| 7958s | them is the ball i don't know how |
| 7960s | stalker got caught there but it's enough |
| 7961s | and now seoul dynasty are left hurting a |
| 7963s | lot because originally they spin the |
| 7965s | bomb to disengage without dying now they |
| 7967s | just die anyway |
| 7969s | yeah that's a huge win actually for |
| 7971s | fusion it reestablishes their control |
| 7973s | on top of the fact that i don't know |
| 7975s | where popular opinion lies on this but |
| 7977s | bob actually a really solid ult right |
| 7980s | now in this meta uh genuinely and to be |
| 7983s | able to pull that out still get the |
| 7984s | fight when you don't have to invest your |
| 7986s | resources |
| 7987s | to be able to do that |
| 7988s | that's great now you can start matching |
| 7990s | going forward yeah down to two minutes |
| 7992s | it looks better for fusion now |
| 7994s | i got a lot of mixed feelings about bob |
| 7995s | because uh you can sort of mis displace |
| 7997s | the ball quite easy with multiple |
| 7998s | different boobs even the jagged blade |
| 8000s | and also the serger can use the bob to |
| 8003s | either burn it or just charge a rail |
| 8004s | right you can just charge your rail off |
| 8006s | the ball which is pretty good look at |
| 8007s | the case yep rampage sound barrier to |
| 8010s | counter probably look for the rally next |
| 8011s | sound better from fixing now to match |
| 8013s | and stalk his turn to play |
| 8014s | zero targets are not very rich in terms |
| 8016s | of a target environment in seoul dynasty |
| 8019s | they have a very good rampage that gets |
| 8021s | fury down and got low but again the |
| 8024s | extra rally healing will come on through |
| 8025s | it's not enough to say fix it and the |
| 8027s | fusion are falling over they just can't |
| 8029s | quite do enough damage to secure kills |
| 8031s | that's been the story of our opening map |
| 8033s | in nepal and now deep into hollywood |
| 8036s | smurf critical hp doesn't die sole |
| 8038s | dynasty they continue pushing forward |
| 8041s | a lot of time though left so of course |
| 8043s | when you look at this and you see philly |
| 8045s | fusion has zest with an opportunity to |
| 8048s | actually step into the spotlight i mean |
| 8049s | how much have we talked about him |
| 8050s | already in the fact that he needs to |
| 8052s | stand out the way that we're used to |
| 8053s | seeing him do it well this is the best |
| 8056s | opportunity he's going to have no ults |
| 8057s | online for dynasty they're probably |
| 8059s | already better shot they do |
| 8061s | yeah the shouts already have been in |
| 8063s | play their fury gets smurfed down so |
| 8064s | with a bit of help from zest blade the |
| 8066s | damage has been good that's the only |
| 8067s | kill they have so far but it might be |
| 8069s | the only kill they need they do push |
| 8070s | back the philly fusion fix a great boot |
| 8072s | point to fit will secure a secondary and |
| 8074s | this will allow the fusion to walk on |
| 8076s | forward stalkers life is |
| 8078s | obviously gonna go forfeited |
| 8080s | this stage fusion could actually go for |
| 8082s | spawn cap if they want to but uh they'll |
| 8084s | refrain i think part of that reason |
| 8085s | might be because the payload is very far |
| 8087s | up |
| 8088s | yeah i think if you go for it there you |
| 8090s | might afford yourself an opportunity to |
| 8092s | still go for a contest but instead they |
| 8094s | like the high ground here they can |
| 8095s | control the drop they can control the |
| 8097s | timing of this fight and i think that's |
| 8099s | more important to them especially given |
| 8101s | the fact that mm3 does have his own oh |
| 8102s | they've lost fixer that's uh not what |
| 8105s | you want to see fusion's defense now |
| 8107s | solely relies on the success of this |
| 8109s | overclock |
| 8111s | they'll allow a bit of space to be given |
| 8112s | away fixer will return they desperately |
| 8115s | need a five versus five here in m3 |
| 8117s | fighting this time to pull through the |
| 8118s | ultimate default also come with the play |
| 8120s | stalker he gets another opening pick he |
| 8122s | gotta fix it before gets him and three |
| 8124s | now but it's so much more impactful to |
| 8125s | kill airmen three five versus four no |
| 8128s | more overclock available fury falls as |
| 8130s | well and the rest of fusion will get |
| 8132s | cleaned on up bob even making an |
| 8133s | appearance in the kill feed and seoul |
| 8135s | get the cap stalker with two important |
| 8138s | kills to lead the fight |
| 8139s | and this one kind of feels stolen away |
| 8141s | from fusion as well i mean they did such |
| 8143s | a good job in those first two sections |
| 8145s | of the map but now dynasty are moving |
| 8147s | into the final phase here and granted |
| 8150s | yes the time bank doesn't look great but |
| 8152s | it seems like they're doing their best |
| 8153s | work when their backs are against the |
| 8155s | wall and the overtime wick is burning |
| 8157s | down you know of course you look at the |
| 8159s | blade here available for stalker |
| 8162s | and |
| 8163s | fusion the timing does not look good for |
| 8165s | them here they're not going to have the |
| 8166s | sound barrier to answer but they're |
| 8167s | going forward anyways well fitz could |
| 8169s | die here doesn't get saved by the cookie |
| 8171s | as we saw from long distance could i see |
| 8173s | a prophet who now goes down it's both |
| 8175s | brigitte's on the floor so far but so |
| 8177s | much more damage done by stalking look |
| 8179s | at the beauty of this blade he just gets |
| 8180s | the damage through the fusion can do |
| 8182s | nothing about it they already lost their |
| 8184s | healers vin dane getting active in the |
| 8186s | kill feed it's a full 5-0 wipe assault |
| 8188s | dynasty of the back of a single blade |
| 8190s | continue pushing through unimpeded |
| 8194s | snowballing through now i mean momentum |
| 8196s | is in seoul's favor and on top of that |
| 8199s | they were able to abide enough time here |
| 8201s | with 20 seconds left they have both |
| 8203s | their supports they could go one to one |
| 8205s | but they have to find kills quick |
| 8206s | otherwise you give that respawn |
| 8207s | advantage to fusion well vindem has to |
| 8209s | be careful here because both rampage and |
| 8210s | plate are available he comes up late now |
| 8212s | zest needs a lot of kills here somebody |
| 8214s | has been popped by both of this uh both |
| 8216s | of their lucio players fury now climbs |
| 8218s | on through smurf basically has rampage |
| 8220s | canceled yes in fact it is cancelled by |
| 8222s | the rampage of fury fighter fight |
| 8224s | territory anyway seoul try to do all |
| 8225s | that they can but with fusions four man |
| 8228s | i believe rampage by fury and there's |
| 8230s | some extra damage done by zest there as |
| 8231s | well sulfonas will finally lose a |
| 8234s | critical fight that ends the push |
| 8236s | however herex take a look at that |
| 8237s | payload positioning |
| 8239s | yeah not bad i mean it's basically the |
| 8241s | end of the map |
| 8242s | just a couple of meters away so yeah |
| 8245s | they weren't going to finish with any |
| 8246s | time left but hey at least they get |
| 8248s | pretty much all the way there and |
| 8251s | certainly feel for the dynasty there |
| 8253s | especially vendeem had a impossible task |
| 8255s | dealing with two ultimates that he was |
| 8258s | basically in charge of trying to deal |
| 8260s | with |
| 8261s | not ever going to go in your favor |
| 8262s | fusion could kind of pay space those out |
| 8264s | a little bit especially given the fact |
| 8265s | that they know that they have their |
| 8268s | respawn right behind them if they lose |
| 8269s | one player they can still turn that back |
| 8271s | around and get the |
| 8273s | award of |
| 8275s | just getting value out of one of those |
| 8277s | olds at the very least but they got both |
| 8278s | so that does well for them at least but |
| 8282s | they have at least now |
| 8284s | a good spot to go okay we had a great |
| 8286s | defense seoul dynasty yeah they snuck a |
| 8288s | couple through us but we look great in |
| 8291s | the team fights and all we have to do is |
| 8292s | complete the map and we can take this |
| 8294s | one home |
| 8295s | yeah |
| 8295s | well maybe that'll be easier said than |
| 8297s | done you know plenty of teams have |
| 8299s | fallen by the weight of the pressure of |
| 8301s | we just need to complete the map and |
| 8303s | seoul dynasty they look like they nearly |
| 8306s | did not even cafe uh you know there are |
| 8308s | still some mixed feelings about how that |
| 8310s | a point defense could have gone for |
| 8311s | fusion had they not played risky i don't |
| 8313s | mind that they ambush sold dynasty by |
| 8315s | sort of hiding the corner there but |
| 8317s | taking it all the way to the spawn |
| 8319s | certainly not what you want to see out |
| 8320s | of fusion and maybe that could have been |
| 8322s | an eight point hole who knows well that |
| 8324s | would be an alternate timeline and the |
| 8326s | multiverse that we'll never sort of get |
| 8327s | to see fits on the ashford defense here |
| 8330s | as well so again seoul lost a lot of |
| 8332s | time on a they're gonna need to burn a |
| 8333s | lot of time off of fusion assault |
| 8335s | because you know easier said than done |
| 8336s | to camp but still very capable i think |
| 8338s | this is a wonderful map of fusion |
| 8341s | yeah all about for dynasty at least just |
| 8344s | controlling just buy time play this like |
| 8347s | you did on sanctum that's what they want |
| 8348s | to accomplish here that's why they have |
| 8349s | fits back on the ash for this this |
| 8351s | objective here |
| 8353s | fury's in a lot of pain here he might |
| 8354s | actually just go down that's critical hp |
| 8356s | fury indeed |
| 8357s | shout being extended here stalker is |
| 8359s | actually being caught he's gone right in |
| 8362s | deep it's one for one trade so far two |
| 8364s | for two now sul dynasty saw three alive |
| 8366s | but they have given up the point fusion |
| 8368s | and starting to cap they got the first |
| 8369s | take underway fusion can't afford to |
| 8371s | chase these kills so we're about to have |
| 8372s | some respawners coming back and both |
| 8374s | teams have pretty equal respawn |
| 8375s | distances here and assault dynasty |
| 8377s | regroup they will stop the second tick |
| 8379s | from coming in and both teams back on |
| 8381s | out |
| 8382s | yeah of course seoul dynasty just loving |
| 8385s | the fact that they got their jugger |
| 8386s | queen out of that situation and stole |
| 8389s | the kill onto fury as well so that they |
| 8391s | could re-establish their positioning |
| 8393s | here at least a little bit but the big |
| 8395s | thing is that fitz i don't know if he's |
| 8397s | really in the greatest spot right now as |
| 8399s | things are already breaking out they're |
| 8401s | died for oh |
| 8403s | low hp members it's a so the supports |
| 8405s | and m3 wants but stalker finds his kill |
| 8407s | first and foremost now stalker continues |
| 8409s | two for one trade so far fusion down to |
| 8411s | very critical members here fixer will |
| 8413s | save the sound bear they know they lost |
| 8414s | this fight for short fury at least takes |
| 8416s | down fitz but i don't know if there's |
| 8417s | gonna be a valuable enough timing for |
| 8419s | the philadelphia fusion to actually use |
| 8421s | that i'm pretty sure that uh fitz will |
| 8422s | be on his way back and well before |
| 8424s | either fixer and fury can regroup their |
| 8426s | team so it's a good effort but this time |
| 8428s | solve dynasty get a five clean a fight |
| 8431s | win |
| 8432s | you can see as well seoul dynasty have |
| 8433s | that bob coming up and i mentioned |
| 8435s | before that i like the value in that ult |
| 8438s | and this is one of the reasons why if |
| 8439s | you can send that onto the back wall i |
| 8442s | think ooh fusion actually i think expect |
| 8444s | this to happen so they're going the back |
| 8446s | route through the alleyway and might |
| 8447s | deny some of the values |
| 8450s | it's gone |
| 8451s | bombs and nani apparently it's just |
| 8453s | completely out of the map and well maybe |
| 8455s | the bop's out of there but the fusion |
| 8456s | trying to rush into the salt dynasty |
| 8457s | it's still a five to zero sweet but by |
| 8459s | the way i'm the only outfit they don't |
| 8461s | even need to use any other ultimate so |
| 8462s | we'll just forget about the bomb uh |
| 8464s | because uh the fusion did and sold |
| 8466s | itself |
| 8467s | and i mean incredibly smart rotation |
| 8469s | still though because they could very |
| 8471s | easily use some of the map geometry some |
| 8472s | of those boxes |
| 8474s | on the back side of the point to just |
| 8476s | mitigate the value there unfortunately |
| 8477s | for them they just ran head first into |
| 8479s | their own death and now soul dynasty you |
| 8482s | look at fitz he just used bob he's up at |
| 8484s | 50 the rest of the olds are still online |
| 8486s | so dynasty |
| 8487s | kind of got away for free on that |
| 8490s | i think the other value of the bob is it |
| 8491s | does charge fairly quickly off the back |
| 8493s | of dynamites and we'll see if that |
| 8494s | happens again very quickly as rally |
| 8496s | comes on through m3 trying to find |
| 8497s | valley on this overclock but currently |
| 8499s | isn't able to selecting targets smurf is |
| 8502s | at least slow but not dead so the |
| 8504s | stalker running on it smoker does not |
| 8505s | get saved by anything the vin game sound |
| 8507s | barrier comes in fairly late fix the |
| 8509s | sound barrier first obviously to block |
| 8510s | out the play and zest is still alive |
| 8512s | he's still killing he's got everybody |
| 8513s | now has fits in his sights as well just |
| 8516s | another day okay apparently not |
| 8517s | fitzgerald's house fits with that one he |
| 8519s | won it might not be enough for the salt |
| 8521s | dynasty to hold on as it's just been |
| 8523s | dame alive the fusion |
| 8526s | the extra sound there from fixer vending |
| 8528s | not saving stalker i think that could |
| 8529s | have been the difference |
| 8531s | time and key there though i mean |
| 8534s | seoul dynasty not gonna have short spawn |
| 8535s | so they're not gonna be able to move up |
| 8537s | to that high ground instead zest can |
| 8539s | actually take that away from them at |
| 8540s | least for the time being allow fusion to |
| 8542s | get through this choke |
| 8544s | pretty safely here again as long as |
| 8546s | they're not getting picked out but |
| 8548s | once again bob coming online fusion did |
| 8551s | a great job of rotating away they still |
| 8552s | died but you know as long as they kind |
| 8554s | of keep that at the forefront of their |
| 8555s | mind they can do that again here there's |
| 8557s | a lot of opportunity to line of sight |
| 8559s | away from the oh |
| 8561s | yeah that's one opportunity right there |
| 8562s | how about just delete the fits |
| 8564s | uh ash before the bomb can even become a |
| 8566s | factor you know seoul dynasty can just |
| 8567s | disengage here or rather they can just |
| 8569s | play the high ground wait for it to come |
| 8570s | on back fusion can't really aggress on |
| 8573s | me this will do a little bit of the |
| 8574s | extra damage because the dash |
| 8577s | fitz comes back though that's when the |
| 8578s | fight really starts and i think bob |
| 8580s | don't need to almost pop that |
| 8583s | instantly three great position working |
| 8585s | the flank there's the bob invested |
| 8587s | fusion can they get away |
| 8592s | doesn't look like it at least not for |
| 8593s | any god i think the rest of them could |
| 8595s | still make it through it's an expensive |
| 8597s | way to regain payload control but again |
| 8598s | we discussed this in our previous series |
| 8600s | i think it ends up being worth it bob |
| 8601s | doesn't take too long for to build |
| 8603s | on up |
| 8604s | and uh using bob straight away means it |
| 8605s | allows the soul dynasty to instantly |
| 8607s | engage fusion don't want to borrow it |
| 8609s | they lose a player they'll |
| 8610s | go back and regroup now a bit of a high |
| 8613s | ground stalemate as only fusion have to |
| 8615s | be the ones to break the stalemate they |
| 8617s | need to get the push on again and it's |
| 8618s | fury with the rampage where smurf |
| 8620s | doesn't have it |
| 8621s | oh i love the way that zest is working |
| 8622s | this as well this is just zest position |
| 8625s | alone means that fusion can force their |
| 8627s | way across the bridge and push down |
| 8629s | dynasty they're forced onto the low |
| 8631s | ground fusion can now take this fight |
| 8632s | more aggressively and with at least a |
| 8634s | little bit of favor but i think they |
| 8635s | want to wait for their sound barrier |
| 8636s | that's what their go button is going to |
| 8638s | be once fixed gets that they can make |
| 8640s | another contest |
| 8642s | and vin dame is 21 off here as well |
| 8644s | prophet's gonna have to pop this as a |
| 8645s | pre-rally at any point now as m3 is |
| 8647s | going to force an issue this is the |
| 8649s | overclock to flying the kill from choi |
| 8650s | smith got |
| 8652s | quite a bit of hp damage and all that |
| 8654s | now probably be taken down assault |
| 8656s | dynasty if so far not gonna have to |
| 8657s | really respond stop it gets just the one |
| 8660s | and despite profit actually piling in |
| 8662s | the rally it does not help the soul |
| 8663s | dynasty enough fusion off of m3 pushing |
| 8666s | on inner fury using the rampage they get |
| 8668s | the required kills maybe not looking for |
| 8670s | a few stragglers left behind |
| 8672s | soul of all regroup nobody got a bad |
| 8674s | spawn |
| 8678s | one of the main things i'm looking for |
| 8679s | here with zest having this blade with |
| 8681s | the positioning here from dynasty |
| 8682s | wanting to have an explosive start to |
| 8684s | this fight instead fusion back away but |
| 8686s | again rally with the blade seoul dynasty |
| 8689s | it's all about forcing zests deflect if |
| 8692s | they can do that they can mitigate the |
| 8694s | pressure there they can push through the |
| 8696s | over health supplied by the rally and |
| 8698s | dynasty can regain control defensively |
| 8701s | comes above now played as well come |
| 8703s | through the stalker and it's just all |
| 8705s | kills the way of the soul of dynasty |
| 8707s | not a single response smurf gets three |
| 8710s | of them infusion |
| 8711s | could be a risk of being spawn camped i |
| 8713s | mean usually when you see a defensive |
| 8715s | team kind of just get a 5-0 wipe they |
| 8716s | can play very aggressively in saul's |
| 8718s | positioning it's |
| 8720s | right up there it's not quite kissing |
| 8721s | the spawn doors but it is quite a far |
| 8723s | fair bit up |
| 8725s | and i think with that fight there too |
| 8726s | yes they give away some of their |
| 8728s | opportunity to get the deflect out from |
| 8730s | zest but they still have sound barrier |
| 8732s | to answer they still have rampage coming |
| 8733s | up as well so dynasty i think still in a |
| 8735s | good position despite utilizing two of |
| 8737s | their offensive weapons in that last |
| 8740s | fight |
| 8741s | and this is where fusion come in and |
| 8742s | reclaim all the space right put the |
| 8743s | pressure onto stalker who got low hp |
| 8745s | there zest would have probably have gone |
| 8747s | deeper but hit by dynamite |
| 8750s | so the stalemate continues but fusion |
| 8751s | okay with this one because they are the |
| 8752s | ones pushing up and we remind ourselves |
| 8754s | they just have to finish the mafia there |
| 8756s | is not going to be a time back 43 |
| 8757s | seconds to get it done the sound bear is |
| 8759s | available for vin dame to counter out |
| 8761s | displayed |
| 8762s | this has to be the linchpin here to get |
| 8764s | the party started we are getting into |
| 8766s | the position now with fusion have to |
| 8768s | pull the trigger and here it comes if |
| 8770s | this |
| 8771s | is half hp smith the rampage on the |
| 8773s | opposite end this is currently slashing |
| 8775s | a lot of air with fury down seoul have |
| 8778s | all but locked up this fight time is |
| 8779s | gonna be critical here here extra fusion |
| 8781s | have to regroup quickly |
| 8784s | it's gonna make it a little bit easier |
| 8785s | for evan because he's going right to |
| 8787s | that right back to the spawn and now |
| 8788s | sound very available but who's not gonna |
| 8790s | be an offensive weapon and someone does |
| 8792s | have to touch because look rampage is |
| 8794s | still going to be there so fusion are |
| 8795s | not going to get |
| 8796s | the same barrier |
| 8797s | zest is recalled they've got to go for |
| 8799s | this now they have the mixing sound |
| 8800s | barrier and go for resistors down |
| 8802s | and they can't quite get okay there's |
| 8803s | going to be a touch involved the rampage |
| 8804s | cuts through all the footage they'll be |
| 8806s | usual at least two important members |
| 8807s | there sound better to block it through a |
| 8808s | bunch of damage profit is keeping the |
| 8810s | team healthy and the fusion caught |
| 8812s | between going for the objective trying |
| 8814s | to stay alive zest getting taken down |
| 8815s | earlier the final fight is all but gone |
| 8819s | the chances of the fusion |
| 8821s | have been wiped out of hollywood and we |
| 8823s | said it right from the start there |
| 8825s | philadelphia fusion finishing the map |
| 8827s | easier said than done 40 seconds left to |
| 8830s | try and get it done but it was just too |
| 8832s | difficult the zest blade versus vin dame |
| 8835s | sound barrier flight have to go the way |
| 8837s | fusion it did not and then they were |
| 8839s | caught in spawn |
| 8841s | all came down to ultimate efficiency |
| 8842s | there as well towards the end it felt |
| 8844s | like the timing that we saw between |
| 8846s | those two as well |
| 8849s | especially when you consider the fact |
| 8850s | that seoul |
| 8852s | really kind of had a rocky start to |
| 8854s | their attack as well i mean remember |
| 8855s | they kind of finished the map i mean |
| 8857s | certainly a couple meters away but they |
| 8859s | were right there but |
| 8861s | fusion was so it was just so on the |
| 8864s | defense as well i mean they almost held |
| 8865s | on point a they almost held on point b |
| 8867s | and it really came to a close at the end |
| 8869s | on point c and fusion just couldn't get |
| 8871s | that same distance covered i think they |
| 8872s | want that one back in a big way |
| 8874s | yeah |
| 8875s | you know i go back towards the a right |
| 8877s | the over extension who knows what could |
| 8878s | have happened in the multiversal |
| 8879s | timelines but |
| 8881s | we won't get to discover that the good |
| 8882s | news for fusion is there is still |
| 8884s | another map to be played they are still |
| 8885s | in a position to pick that one we'll |
| 8887s | have to find out what that is after this |
| 8888s | break |
| 8891s | [Music] |

| 9121s | so |
| 9124s | [Music] |
| 9137s | welcome back to the overwatch league |
| 9138s | here at seoul versus fusion currently |
| 9140s | two and zero up well the seoul dynasty |
| 9142s | match point has been locked up here x |
| 9144s | and for the philly fusion |
| 9146s | you know it's a competitive map uh |
| 9149s | not so much on to nepal especially on |
| 9151s | that first round but as we moved along |
| 9153s | it has been more and more competitive |
| 9154s | but not quite enough to get fusion map |
| 9156s | just yet |
| 9157s | yeah not just yet certainly looking a |
| 9159s | lot better over time while we progress |
| 9161s | through this series i think fusion they |
| 9163s | could be very very much you know moments |
| 9165s | away at this stage and certainly as we |
| 9166s | progress forward now where we're at 2-0 |
| 9169s | i mean every |
| 9170s | map that we see from here on out whether |
| 9172s | it be one or or several is gonna be |
| 9175s | still fusion's map selection and i think |
| 9177s | that certainly can help them along the |
| 9179s | way but still you're down two maps now |
| 9181s | you're talking about a reverse sweep and |
| 9183s | i know i shouldn't say it out loud or it |
| 9184s | won't happen but either way fusion while |
| 9187s | they do look good it just is a little |
| 9189s | bit short at this stage against dynasty |
| 9192s | and i feel like it's you know it sort of |
| 9194s | betrays the previous result a little bit |
| 9196s | as well because when you look back at |
| 9198s | the regular season game in the final |
| 9199s | week despite fusion losing to salt was a |
| 9201s | three and two win for seoul meaning that |
| 9203s | fusion actually had the two maps in |
| 9205s | there and they actually had the two |
| 9206s | match first it was two to one after |
| 9208s | circuit royale which will by the way |
| 9210s | also be our next map coming up selected |
| 9212s | by the philly fusion |
| 9214s | were at a match point |
| 9216s | versus the sole dynasty in that uh you |
| 9218s | know week 18 game |
| 9220s | and they sort of allowed two maps to go |
| 9222s | the way of seoul dynasty and they they |
| 9223s | lost the ability to win that series and |
| 9225s | here it's just a very different feeling |
| 9227s | right because instead of a commanding |
| 9229s | position and a leading position for |
| 9230s | fusion they are so far down |
| 9233s | one thing i do like about this map |
| 9235s | though especially given the fact that |
| 9237s | it's fusion's choice to actually take us |
| 9239s | here is the fact that on this map it |
| 9241s | feels like well more often than not |
| 9243s | we're seeing genji's kind of command the |
| 9245s | team at least to a degree obviously main |
| 9247s | tank is probably the most dominant |
| 9250s | factor of this composition but |
| 9252s | genji plays a very pivotal role however |
| 9256s | on this map you're seeing a little bit |
| 9258s | of the |
| 9259s | hit scan dps role or rather the sojourn |
| 9262s | specifically get a little bit of an |
| 9264s | increase in value and especially when |
| 9266s | you have a player like mn3 doing what |
| 9268s | mn3 has been doing i think that does |
| 9271s | help you out at least at least a little |
| 9273s | bit |
| 9274s | to have mn3 be able to kind of impact |
| 9276s | this match more so than he is already |
| 9278s | even |
| 9279s | and he has been i think the primary |
| 9282s | carry of the philipp fusion so far in |
| 9283s | this particular match up right uh |
| 9285s | obviously was the case on nepal by a |
| 9288s | big margin as described from the |
| 9290s | statistics outlined after that map |
| 9292s | concluded fitzwill |
| 9295s | i think uh predictably start out on the |
| 9297s | ash here whether he remains the ash will |
| 9299s | be |
| 9299s | questioned he is the kind of player that |
| 9301s | likes to continue playing the ash but at |
| 9302s | the same time you know we've seen both |
| 9303s | lip and jimmy they start on the ashes |
| 9305s | towards ogen breaking past the opening |
| 9308s | spawn holder is what's important and |
| 9309s | watchfully members are already quite low |
| 9311s | here |
| 9312s | smurf though taking a bunch of damage |
| 9313s | he's probably targeting number one |
| 9317s | should be nice and efficient here for |
| 9318s | fusion one thing though that they want |
| 9320s | to make sure of is that |
| 9322s | when we do see players like aim god for |
| 9324s | example getting low like we saw in that |
| 9326s | last fight if things go |
| 9329s | the way of aim god falling out that |
| 9331s | means fusion has to back up and they |
| 9332s | have to give up this spawn camp that is |
| 9334s | certainly going to be testing dynasty so |
| 9336s | fusion they can continue to look for |
| 9338s | these picks but they have to make sure |
| 9339s | that they stay composed especially in |
| 9341s | their backline that's key |
| 9342s | well fusion can't really afford to lose |
| 9344s | any members here right so that opening |
| 9345s | shout that's already been used by fury |
| 9347s | helps up keep them healthy maybe even |
| 9349s | disengage fury though still just really |
| 9351s | far up he couldn't quite get away they |
| 9352s | do trade out the two jugger queens but |
| 9355s | this is still i would say go in the way |
| 9357s | of seoul dynasty seoul might lose this |
| 9358s | fight but the respawns matter here soul |
| 9360s | are going to get their response very |
| 9361s | quickly and they're going to break out |
| 9363s | and that's exactly what i was kind of |
| 9364s | getting into right the fact that they |
| 9366s | did lose some bodies the respawn is |
| 9368s | right there fusion should have to back |
| 9370s | up here which means that dynasty well |
| 9372s | they didn't win the fight they still get |
| 9374s | the value of winning the fight which is |
| 9375s | pushing that payload forward starting to |
| 9377s | progress this cart and and getting into |
| 9380s | a better place for them to fight because |
| 9381s | you definitely don't want to be attached |
| 9383s | to your spawn at any stage of this map |
| 9386s | i'll still say that's a fairly i think |
| 9388s | successful spawn camp from fusion given |
| 9390s | about a minute 30 were shaved off the |
| 9392s | clock you also have a very early sound |
| 9393s | barrier now profit and bending low gets |
| 9394s | cleaned up there it is in three hands |
| 9396s | that's the two dps players of the fusion |
| 9398s | getting active in the kill feed and |
| 9400s | stalker should be falling next |
| 9402s | and the spawn camp can continue now |
| 9403s | because here's the other problem here |
| 9404s | because if you do with this 5.0 |
| 9407s | on the defense you just walk forward |
| 9410s | yeah now you can go right back to |
| 9412s | everything that seoul dynasty doesn't |
| 9413s | want to be a part of you can go back and |
| 9416s | spawn camp yet again |
| 9418s | start taking resources from dynasty |
| 9419s | where you know even if dynasty wins a |
| 9421s | fight if they invest a resource early to |
| 9423s | win it they don't have that for the car |
| 9426s | they have the ball but they do bob and |
| 9428s | now the sound barriers and the support |
| 9429s | ultimates ain't gone might have to pop |
| 9430s | around here as well start to come on |
| 9432s | through |
| 9433s | it's very hard though i think to pop |
| 9435s | extra ultimates if you have fusion |
| 9436s | because if you try and play dynasty just |
| 9438s | go back on this spawn so you have to be |
| 9440s | considerate of what you use here as the |
| 9442s | fusion you are trying to get some |
| 9443s | ultimates out of salt dynasty and one of |
| 9445s | those will now be the plane stalkers |
| 9446s | trying this best the rally from ain't |
| 9448s | got is keeping most players alive at |
| 9449s | stalker doesn't care he'll even get the |
| 9451s | mega pack he'll get his third kill in |
| 9453s | the fight now looking for four and five |
| 9454s | smoke cleans it up a fusion |
| 9456s | they lose everything it's hard zest and |
| 9458s | m3 even pulled ultimates but it's just |
| 9460s | too late |
| 9462s | huge blade there from stalker i mean |
| 9463s | when you look across the board massive |
| 9465s | investment from both sides and seoul |
| 9467s | dynasty had to win that there there's a |
| 9468s | minute left on the clock there's just |
| 9470s | simply not much opportunity left to |
| 9472s | build some of these resources back up |
| 9474s | before you run out of time so getting |
| 9476s | that win means you can get forward you |
| 9478s | can go rampage first rampage and take |
| 9480s | yet another fight where you're going to |
| 9481s | rely on your |
| 9483s | i mean really anyone on the team to step |
| 9485s | up and find some kind of opening i think |
| 9487s | fury may be the one that they're going |
| 9489s | to go for here |
| 9490s | and this might be a hard take but i |
| 9491s | think hughes should have just lost that |
| 9493s | fight not used ultimates have been in a |
| 9494s | better economic situation now because |
| 9496s | maybe they'll wish they had that but uh |
| 9498s | they'll have the one ultimate at least |
| 9499s | to use it's looking pretty good so far |
| 9500s | smurfs survived so he'll pop out the |
| 9502s | rampage not quite as good as furies and |
| 9504s | the saw results in just a one-for-one |
| 9505s | trade so far m3 ticking down survive he |
| 9507s | didn't actually bleed out and fusion |
| 9509s | have the extra members survive that they |
| 9510s | can continue holding seoul dynasty lose |
| 9513s | the fight with critical time remaining |
| 9515s | less than 10 seconds a lake death on a |
| 9517s | stalker fence is going to go towards |
| 9518s | sombra just to enable the touch smell |
| 9520s | for the ball now i don't think it's |
| 9522s | gonna work even if they can touch fusion |
| 9524s | have five alive and solve dynasty |
| 9526s | waiting for respawners time runs out |
| 9528s | here it's a successful a point hole it's |
| 9531s | a full hold |
| 9533s | i mean what a turnaround too for fusion |
| 9534s | i mean something that they were so close |
| 9537s | to achieving on hollywood now they |
| 9539s | actually get the job done and remember |
| 9542s | despite the fact that this is a 2-0 |
| 9544s | right now ford dynasty that last map was |
| 9547s | dangerously close i mean dynasty like i |
| 9550s | said in that last map in hollywood they |
| 9553s | kind of snuck away with some points that |
| 9555s | fusion |
| 9556s | really could have with minor changes |
| 9560s | shut them down early and then they |
| 9562s | clearly with their attack probably had |
| 9564s | the pacing to just take that one away so |
| 9566s | now with this hold here |
| 9567s | this could be a major point in the in |
| 9570s | this series for fusion this is probably |
| 9572s | that potential pivot if there ever was |
| 9575s | gonna be one |
| 9576s | and i think historically as well when |
| 9578s | you look across the fusion's results so |
| 9579s | far this year |
| 9581s | let's see if aim god has a |
| 9583s | mary does indeed have a little lamb |
| 9590s | all right well as the concert continues |
| 9592s | he's been practicing he looks very |
| 9594s | focused here |
| 9594s | [Music] |
| 9598s | historically this has been one of the |
| 9599s | better maps for fusion they've |
| 9601s | been very good on |
| 9603s | [Music] |
| 9604s | uh circuit royale nice ending there |
| 9606s | circuit royale in the history of all |
| 9608s | their games and especially in sniper |
| 9610s | meters with m3 has been able to play the |
| 9612s | the widowmaker in fact this was uh one |
| 9614s | of the pivotal maps in fusion being sold |
| 9616s | dynasty in the msm qualifiers as well |
| 9619s | when mm3 probably had one of the best |
| 9620s | individual performances we've seen out |
| 9621s | of any player so far this season so |
| 9623s | dynasty are obviously going to go for |
| 9625s | their own spawn camp here and then three |
| 9627s | obviously got to be on that uh very |
| 9629s | predictable ash everyone does go for |
| 9630s | salker taking down zest it'll be fusion |
| 9632s | just kind of go back to spawn waiting it |
| 9634s | out |
| 9636s | so all the same notions that we had for |
| 9638s | fusion |
| 9639s | now just flip the mirror around and it's |
| 9641s | all on dynasty you have to make sure |
| 9643s | that they do get their kills they do |
| 9645s | remain stable here and composed you |
| 9647s | can't lose a body or else you're going |
| 9648s | to get backed up despite winning maybe |
| 9650s | oh there's a body up |
| 9654s | three finds that body dynamite on to |
| 9655s | profit and got traded but it sol dynasty |
| 9658s | losing one and lose more now they have |
| 9660s | to back on out i think even if name god |
| 9662s | died sorry uh prophet dies and nobody |
| 9664s | else on seoul died the soul would have |
| 9665s | technically still lost that spawn hold |
| 9667s | right so they certainly lose a lot more |
| 9670s | you uh lose one of your supports yelling |
| 9672s | kind of goes in the bin there infusion |
| 9674s | very early on break out of spawn |
| 9678s | big time moment here for seoul dynasty |
| 9680s | they got held on |
| 9682s | have to hold this corner down now have |
| 9685s | to be |
| 9686s | basically flawless in your defense of |
| 9688s | this corner there's certainly i think a |
| 9691s | silver lining for them if you're gonna |
| 9692s | hold any point on the map |
| 9694s | or sorry any map this early on circuit |
| 9697s | royale actually has a very solid point a |
| 9700s | with this composition because there's |
| 9701s | great line of sight to use in this room |
| 9703s | smurf can fall back but still has to be |
| 9705s | careful and smurf might have to fall |
| 9707s | back look at his hp bar very very low |
| 9709s | here i believe the shelter review |
| 9710s | stalker as well in a little bit of |
| 9711s | trouble but he'll still fight fix it |
| 9713s | despite being a low hp that's incredible |
| 9715s | but that actually takes the sound |
| 9716s | barrier off the board and now they can |
| 9717s | get further kills look at their stalkers |
| 9719s | just going wild |
| 9720s | the kill feed five and zero assault they |
| 9722s | can rush towards the spawner this is |
| 9724s | exactly what fusion did to seoul and now |
| 9726s | salt lake doing diffusion |
| 9728s | in the back of my mind i'm wondering if |
| 9730s | fusion might |
| 9731s | in the chaos of a fight |
| 9733s | potentially say okay we might be losing |
| 9736s | this fight go send fixa over to the |
| 9738s | point and see if we can drag them away |
| 9739s | from this spawn hold if we're losing but |
| 9742s | it has to get to that point first fury |
| 9745s | down |
| 9746s | and got the follow through next and yeah |
| 9747s | look at this right |
| 9749s | you can't even really |
| 9750s | send somebody on through another one |
| 9753s | another opportunity another way you can |
| 9754s | do what you're trying to say there is go |
| 9756s | trace or somber or something to go like |
| 9758s | just force a back cap that's another way |
| 9759s | to quite a quick win against the spawn |
| 9762s | camp i think you sacrifice all the old |
| 9763s | charge right of fusion i don't think |
| 9764s | they can afford to do that they're going |
| 9765s | to go to the rally now and now the |
| 9767s | ultimates will get popped from both |
| 9768s | sides overclocked from bets looking for |
| 9770s | targets fixed up barely dodging out that |
| 9771s | last shot |
| 9772s | defense is kind of struggling to find |
| 9774s | anything at this moment with that soul |
| 9776s | dynasty they'll uh kind of gentlemen's |
| 9778s | agreement back out over |
| 9780s | blades will come through next blaze to |
| 9782s | be counted up by the sound barriers |
| 9783s | prophets dead though this is prime |
| 9785s | opportunity for the fusion to push on |
| 9786s | four but |
| 9787s | are going to trade it out both briggs |
| 9789s | down sound very pop like fixer ferry on |
| 9791s | towards fence in three now popped out |
| 9793s | three versus three |
| 9795s | and seoul dynasty they're gonna be on |
| 9797s | the losing end of that three versus |
| 9799s | three fusion with a brilliant |
| 9800s | opportunity to push on for seoul should |
| 9802s | still get one more contest |
| 9805s | it's that same kind of similar situation |
| 9806s | here fusion as well they're gonna have |
| 9808s | rampage they're gonna have blade and the |
| 9809s | only thing that they have to worry about |
| 9810s | is the soundbreaker how can vendame |
| 9813s | have the impossible task again of trying |
| 9816s | to deal with both as their lone support |
| 9818s | ultimate it all comes down to this right |
| 9820s | here |
| 9821s | aiming three now you're pulling it |
| 9823s | through smoke took so much damage you |
| 9824s | got fury as well smith might fall within |
| 9826s | damn saves and so the sound barrier oh |
| 9828s | wait a minute if you're getting a |
| 9829s | that's the second one that we've seen |
| 9831s | today humongous shot mike smith but |
| 9833s | isn't enough so dynasty still only have |
| 9835s | to assess the extra blade here talked |
| 9837s | about vin dane neem to block out two |
| 9839s | important offense he can only block up |
| 9840s | the one and with that zest despite fury |
| 9843s | failing on the rampage the blade will be |
| 9845s | enough fusion |
| 9847s | stay alive in the series the reverse |
| 9849s | sweep is now officially on |
| 9851s | interesting dynamic at play there as |
| 9853s | well right dynasty invest in the sound |
| 9855s | barrier they don't even block an |
| 9857s | ultimate with it they instead use it to |
| 9859s | actually position themselves more |
| 9860s | aggressively they run down fury and |
| 9862s | basically cancel that ultimate exactly |
| 9865s | they they run down fury and take him out |
| 9867s | of the equation so he can't even use his |
| 9868s | old but then as things wear off |
| 9870s | fusion still has all of those resources |
| 9872s | available and it's just too much to |
| 9874s | contend with i think at that stage |
| 9876s | i think when you really break it down as |
| 9878s | well you know in a kind of roundabout |
| 9880s | way the sound barrier did block out the |
| 9882s | rampage or at least one of the two |
| 9883s | ultimate smurf gets to stay alive he |
| 9885s | walks up kills fury completely denies |
| 9888s | and cancels the ram pace on a roundabout |
| 9889s | weight that that's kind of what the |
| 9890s | sound barrier does but then obviously |
| 9892s | once the sound barrier is gone zesk gets |
| 9894s | to do his job he gets the pull blade and |
| 9896s | pull fusion through to a map victory |
| 9898s | that allows them to keep going on the |
| 9900s | series can they get the reverse sweep |
| 9902s | done |
| 9903s | before on your screens right after this |
| 9904s | break |
| 9918s | [Music] |
| 9927s | [Music] |
| 9941s | [Music] |

| 10070s | [Music] |
| 10093s | [Music] |
| 10117s | [Music] |
| 10118s | so |
| 10131s | [Music] |
| 10139s | [Music] |
| 10144s | the philadelphia fusion keep their heads |
| 10146s | above water but now can they survive in |
| 10148s | the coldest we're about to head over to |
| 10150s | toronto that's right seoul dynasty are |
| 10152s | not going to do colosseum and you know |
| 10154s | what fusion they don't mind going to new |
| 10157s | queen street they love new queen |
| 10158s | shooters one of their better maps they |
| 10159s | have a great map win rate on this map it |
| 10162s | also does put the pressure on fusion if |
| 10164s | we are going to see a reverse sweep here |
| 10165s | x uh it is already on but two more maps |
| 10167s | are required |
| 10169s | yeah i think it is definitely |
| 10170s | interesting i kind of talked about it |
| 10172s | during the break a little bit but now |
| 10173s | have a better opportunity to kind of |
| 10175s | expand on it that yeah it's really |
| 10177s | interesting here that we see this map |
| 10178s | selected especially given souls |
| 10180s | i mean they they did well in colossae |
| 10183s | especially against the fusion i mean |
| 10185s | that was a map that they actually wound |
| 10187s | up taking then they took out number five |
| 10190s | yeah i mean it was like 1400 something |
| 10192s | to exactly |
| 10194s | so you wonder okay what are some of the |
| 10196s | elements in play as to why soul would go |
| 10199s | this direction especially given |
| 10202s | we have a lot of repeating maps here i |
| 10204s | was going to say sorry to cut you off |
| 10205s | there but you know yeah the previous |
| 10207s | series was oasis one by fusion this time |
| 10209s | one by seoul hollywood won by seoul one |
| 10211s | by seoul here circle royale won by |
| 10213s | fusion one by fusion again but then |
| 10215s | seoul choose colosseum and that actually |
| 10217s | did they get to choose i can't remember |
| 10218s | but they there's another cop there's a |
| 10220s | colosseum whether they chose it or not |
| 10221s | doesn't matter but they go to colosseum |
| 10223s | 114 versus 62 they wouldn't have chosen |
| 10225s | because it's a regular season game but |
| 10226s | my point stands coliseum was the map |
| 10228s | they |
| 10229s | won quite convincingly compared to the |
| 10230s | fusion on but uh they're actually going |
| 10232s | to choose to go to new queen street here |
| 10233s | so we're gonna deviate from the pathway |
| 10237s | of the previous matchup |
| 10239s | yeah kind of avoiding the script a |
| 10240s | little bit here and we've seen a little |
| 10242s | bit of that today we've seen certainly a |
| 10244s | lot more of the following of the script |
| 10246s | where |
| 10247s | especially in this series here seoul |
| 10249s | dynasty they're here to stay they're you |
| 10251s | know you know 12-0 |
| 10253s | this could very well wind up being that |
| 10255s | same situation as before where |
| 10258s | you look at |
| 10260s | how fusion has played throughout this |
| 10262s | entire qualifier now moving into this |
| 10264s | tournament they typically like to punch |
| 10265s | up they can play spoiler |
| 10267s | they like to take these maps off of |
| 10269s | teams as well but sometimes and i think |
| 10271s | inevitably they wind up falling flat |
| 10273s | that's why you see their two and four |
| 10274s | record as we're going to be moving into |
| 10276s | new queen street here |
| 10277s | and i i have concerns for fusion because |
| 10279s | i think a lot of people want to see them |
| 10281s | succeed they want to see that two and |
| 10283s | four record look obviously a little bit |
| 10285s | better than what it is because this team |
| 10287s | is simply i think better than a two and |
| 10289s | four record we're seeing that here |
| 10290s | they're playing up to seoul dynasty but |
| 10293s | on new queen street i think maybe a |
| 10295s | little bit of confidence gained because |
| 10297s | like you said this is a map that they |
| 10298s | love to play |
| 10300s | yeah they are fantastic on the queen's |
| 10301s | street i mean their history on this map |
| 10303s | is i would say the two best maps aren't |
| 10304s | equine street and circuit royale that's |
| 10307s | been proven in our previous |
| 10310s | you know tournament qualifiers |
| 10312s | in those tournaments as well |
| 10314s | so we'll have to see what the game plan |
| 10316s | is going to be |
| 10318s | obviously we have the north american n a |
| 10321s | side of the summer showdown tournament |
| 10323s | happening live in toronto that will be |
| 10324s | happening later today as well |
| 10326s | we will go to toronto virtually here for |
| 10328s | our summer show down in the eastern |
| 10330s | division as the seoul dynasty roll out |
| 10332s | with the soldier no more fits ash now |
| 10335s | previously ash wouldn't have a lot of |
| 10336s | game play time here but now it's like |
| 10339s | i've actually before we talked about |
| 10340s | soul just getting the opportunity for |
| 10341s | supplies a very quick fashion festival |
| 10343s | respond onto one but at this stage yeah |
| 10345s | seoul dynasty are rounded they will |
| 10346s | probably lose everybody here if they're |
| 10347s | not too careful it doesn't look like |
| 10349s | they will be able to get very many |
| 10350s | members away profit to at least boot |
| 10352s | fury back |
| 10354s | and yeah uh it is surgeon time |
| 10356s | ash gets flanked a bit too hard here's |
| 10358s | what i was about to say |
| 10360s | i think with those picks though from the |
| 10362s | fusion this means that they can't |
| 10364s | actually follow this payload all the way |
| 10366s | forward looks like they got everybody |
| 10367s | back i think they did taxi everybody so |
| 10368s | now they just completely nixed my point |
| 10371s | so |
| 10372s | with these taxis they can actually push |
| 10374s | forward still though this is a |
| 10377s | this is a map type where a lot of teams |
| 10379s | like to kind of fall back and play more |
| 10381s | neutral |
| 10382s | you know use the disengage try to get a |
| 10384s | better position to fight for him but |
| 10385s | zest just loves playing aggressive so |
| 10387s | never mind |
| 10388s | you know |
| 10389s | found the damage on the smurf and now |
| 10390s | we'll find the execution of smith as |
| 10392s | well that's the prime target you want to |
| 10393s | get down tank is gone for the seoul |
| 10395s | dynasty supports to follow next stalker |
| 10397s | as well on the list ain't got showing |
| 10399s | the kill through three kills rain guard |
| 10401s | on the brigitte and all allow fusion to |
| 10403s | walk further forward but you have to be |
| 10405s | very mindful the fact that fetch killing |
| 10407s | fury makes a lot of difference here |
| 10408s | because assault dynasty get respawners i |
| 10410s | think fusion have to back out |
| 10412s | yeah this is the point i was actually |
| 10413s | going to make initially but |
| 10415s | that taxi just helped fusion get into |
| 10418s | position now |
| 10419s | maybe not as much i think they're gonna |
| 10421s | have to go ahead and disengage like you |
| 10422s | talked about they do just that and i |
| 10425s | think priority there for dynasty was |
| 10427s | making sure that they did that they |
| 10428s | pushed fusion off before |
| 10430s | the bot actually made it to the |
| 10432s | objective because then they get better |
| 10433s | spawns and that |
| 10435s | certainly plays nicer into fusion's |
| 10437s | ability to keep progressing this spot |
| 10439s | forward |
| 10440s | was any other member maybe that would |
| 10442s | have been flying this actually got moved |
| 10443s | back there i think it might have been |
| 10444s | from the flail neither case the kills do |
| 10446s | still come on through not from this but |
| 10448s | fixer gets one now it's to stalk his |
| 10450s | play to come on through and his played |
| 10451s | has just been amazing so far he already |
| 10453s | has this down early blake clicks through |
| 10455s | that's uh what three kills so far this |
| 10457s | fight looking for number four will |
| 10458s | probably get it profit steals it doesn't |
| 10460s | matter if stalker lives and that's the |
| 10461s | most important part salt dynasty don't |
| 10463s | lose a single player in that fight |
| 10465s | meaning that they can now push on |
| 10466s | through very aggressively without having |
| 10468s | to give up any sort of space |
| 10471s | and they'll get their first bit of meter |
| 10472s | ridge now |
| 10474s | one of the things i love about this map |
| 10475s | too i don't know about in the regions |
| 10477s | you cover but in the regions i cover |
| 10479s | this is a map that could easily turn on |
| 10481s | its head on a dime i mean instantly you |
| 10483s | can see a team have like 70 meters |
| 10485s | difference and that that's able to be |
| 10488s | come back from on this map momentum is |
| 10490s | certainly a factor maybe a little bit |
| 10492s | even more so than colosseo but still |
| 10494s | dynasty need to get through fusion to |
| 10495s | get there |
| 10496s | i'll tell you why here it's the region i |
| 10498s | cover is it's just asia it's apec it's |
| 10500s | all he's gonna |
| 10502s | it's going to be the two jungle queens |
| 10504s | falling over nice and early mm3 does |
| 10505s | find some value on that overclock and |
| 10507s | the rsa finds a little bit more now |
| 10509s | double support offers being popped by |
| 10510s | both ends they all but dissipated now m3 |
| 10513s | still in the next one versus one against |
| 10515s | stalk and he wins that one so clean from |
| 10517s | him and three fitz will get the revenge |
| 10519s | and as the dust settles |
| 10521s | usually should be coming out ahead okay |
| 10523s | fitz is just kind of uh popping off over |
| 10525s | there he loses the fight so lose the |
| 10527s | fight but fitz gets the extra points for |
| 10529s | style |
| 10530s | yeah definitely i think we were |
| 10532s | inevitably going to say that about mn3 |
| 10533s | but the fact that he did get that kill |
| 10536s | on the stalker it meant that fusion |
| 10537s | could stabilize long enough to just |
| 10540s | neutralize the fight i mean completely |
| 10542s | neutral like nobody really got much |
| 10543s | ground at all and it's just kind of a |
| 10545s | reset here fusion diving in though |
| 10549s | is the rampage it's two i think there's |
| 10551s | a little bit of disengage from saul |
| 10553s | dynasty attempted they're trying to get |
| 10554s | away now but they get two kills i mean |
| 10556s | on the exit entirely i mean fusion |
| 10558s | trying to go on in off the rampage and |
| 10559s | seoul dynasty getting kills as they |
| 10561s | press doubles s rather now they're |
| 10563s | preaching w |
| 10564s | m3 gets one |
| 10566s | profit does have to respawn and we'll |
| 10568s | have to get taxis back by vinday but |
| 10570s | that is otherwise a very clean fight |
| 10571s | they just disengaged from the rampage so |
| 10573s | well |
| 10574s | it's also a good amount of time for them |
| 10576s | to get this tax you could see them |
| 10578s | working their way back over it's all |
| 10580s | about timing here certainly dynasty are |
| 10581s | going to have to back off away from this |
| 10583s | position but if fusion are smart i think |
| 10584s | they're going to go fast here instead |
| 10586s | they do notice that prop and vendee make |
| 10587s | their way back so by their time just a |
| 10589s | little bit but not for much longer |
| 10591s | rampage onto one and that's kind of been |
| 10593s | the specialty so far for smurf you can |
| 10594s | only really get one on the rampage it'll |
| 10596s | be enough sphero for fitz i think that's |
| 10598s | a better trade for the salt dynasty but |
| 10599s | they don't feel confident about it they |
| 10600s | lost their damage they have a tank |
| 10602s | available |
| 10603s | usually trying to press the issue here |
| 10604s | fusion are going in says paul's blade he |
| 10606s | wants some kills he wants specifically |
| 10608s | smurf down he's low hb though disasters |
| 10610s | be so careful finally gets killed onto |
| 10612s | vindem it was a smurf smurf got taken |
| 10614s | down by fixer |
| 10616s | and now the philadelphia fusion three |
| 10617s | versus two they have technically won |
| 10619s | this one but stalker still gets a couple |
| 10620s | of important kills |
| 10622s | slowing things down |
| 10624s | i think stalker wants to use the blade |
| 10626s | pretty aggressively here because again |
| 10629s | all tracking should be at least a degree |
| 10632s | easier in overwatch too |
| 10634s | but you can see with stalker in this |
| 10637s | position knowing full well that they |
| 10639s | probably are just a little bit ahead of |
| 10641s | the fusion |
| 10642s | with those support holes they can go and |
| 10644s | just dive right in on top of them |
| 10646s | speaking of ahead it's fury pushing away |
| 10648s | past the stats you can see he was out of |
| 10650s | line of sight of his supports entirely |
| 10651s | so yeah it does cost him two ultimates |
| 10653s | to do so but it's a second member picked |
| 10654s | up now |
| 10655s | maybe that is worth it for the solved i |
| 10657s | see i think by the time zest comes back |
| 10659s | and fusion do regroup they will be able |
| 10661s | to stop this payload from capping but uh |
| 10664s | sold honestly spending twelve percent it |
| 10665s | was expensive |
| 10667s | i think with dynasty though i think |
| 10668s | they're comfortable with pushing this |
| 10670s | where they can get it get it almost to |
| 10672s | equal territory up near that 50 50 mark |
| 10676s | and now see if they can pull some more |
| 10677s | ultimates they might lose the fight but |
| 10679s | if they can pull resources that's key |
| 10682s | double support almost available for |
| 10683s | fusion though and fits us down to mm3 so |
| 10686s | this is important now fusion have the |
| 10687s | lead going further forward vendeem will |
| 10689s | find a sound barrier but chooses not to |
| 10691s | use it because everybody has 10 mm and |
| 10693s | three and zest mm3 in fact gets four in |
| 10695s | that fight the x was stolen by zest but |
| 10697s | it's okay fusion they get five alive and |
| 10699s | that's important they are going for the |
| 10701s | cap m three's already pushed deep into |
| 10703s | salt territory not towards their spawn |
| 10706s | but |
| 10706s | very much holding tight angles here as |
| 10709s | the payload comes around expecting seoul |
| 10712s | to take a quick fight here |
| 10715s | that they do they're kind of diving |
| 10716s | forward utilizing some of their |
| 10718s | cooldowns initially but watch for those |
| 10720s | shots |
| 10721s | good news here is that this is kind of |
| 10722s | neutral territory right three minutes |
| 10725s | both the teams very close |
| 10727s | i mean all these olds are kind of right |
| 10729s | in line with one another more or less as |
| 10731s | well so neither team wants to make a |
| 10733s | mistake here because both of these |
| 10734s | squads are capable of exploiting these |
| 10736s | weaknesses you don't want to over extend |
| 10738s | you don't want to utilize that shout too |
| 10740s | early and get caught out i think this is |
| 10742s | a very portable pitiful uh pivotal |
| 10744s | rather fight as we have a three-minute |
| 10746s | gap between the teams fusion are also in |
| 10749s | position that if they win this fight |
| 10750s | they will get the checkpoint super point |
| 10752s | assist on one hp that was very critical |
| 10755s | to survive that because usually push |
| 10756s | back they had they would have to |
| 10758s | disengage if this dies now the shots are |
| 10759s | being expended |
| 10761s | fury though what is that is that a solo |
| 10763s | kill from smurf was fury too far forward |
| 10765s | unknown how he dies there but that |
| 10766s | assault dynasty prime position now to |
| 10769s | get a big cleanup here i'm not expecting |
| 10770s | fusion to burn ultimates in fact dynasty |
| 10772s | themselves will also not burn ultimates |
| 10774s | but they are going to get a number of |
| 10775s | frags effusion trying to throw bodies at |
| 10777s | seoul |
| 10778s | any sort of trade that would have slowed |
| 10780s | down salt but seoul get five alive they |
| 10782s | push on through |
| 10783s | five alive that's the name of the game |
| 10785s | here especially on new queen street |
| 10787s | where there's just so much distance to |
| 10789s | cover and a lot of it is just |
| 10791s | very open singular lanes right that's |
| 10794s | the key but philadelphia fusion they're |
| 10796s | quick on the draw they're going to be |
| 10798s | able to contest this before any progress |
| 10800s | really is made |
| 10801s | by the players oh my god that was very |
| 10803s | close you cannot allow the to come |
| 10804s | up through if you are holding up a |
| 10806s | fusion but |
| 10807s | here we go the blades coming on through |
| 10809s | pretty good so far fury will catch two |
| 10810s | on the rampage and now smurf to respond |
| 10812s | to the opposite end both dps has been |
| 10814s | caught but fixing him and three still |
| 10815s | getting the kills it doesn't matter that |
| 10816s | they've been anted out fury's still |
| 10818s | alive he's been saved by his own shout |
| 10819s | he's very hard to kill and m3 is still |
| 10821s | doing damage while all of that is |
| 10823s | happening that was a very tight fight to |
| 10826s | get through it looks like smurf might |
| 10827s | have been able to turn around but fusion |
| 10829s | refused to lose |
| 10832s | that was |
| 10833s | insane i mean as much as that last fight |
| 10835s | should have been the pivotal one to look |
| 10837s | at this fight that just transpired |
| 10839s | probably even more so fusion come away |
| 10842s | with that one also very low on hp none |
| 10844s | of those targets could get killed and |
| 10846s | now it's all about picks m3 versus fitz |
| 10848s | who can win out oh profit down to fix it |
| 10850s | that fix has been active so far in three |
| 10852s | even more active smurf trying to get |
| 10854s | away desperately there was a headshot |
| 10856s | rather i think a headshot maybe coming |
| 10857s | through for the rail it's enough |
| 10858s | possessed to get the cleanup and the cap |
| 10860s | comes on through that is so important |
| 10862s | for the philly fusion they have a |
| 10863s | brilliant checkpoint now to work through |
| 10865s | and even more distance about to begin |
| 10867s | that three meter gap now extends to |
| 10870s | beyond ten maybe fifteen and twenty to |
| 10872s | come up as well salt dynasty could be |
| 10874s | losing this map now this is looking |
| 10875s | pretty poor from seoul in philly on the |
| 10878s | victory path 30 or so seconds remain |
| 10881s | still interesting that both these teams |
| 10883s | very similar timings in terms of their |
| 10884s | ult so it's just going to be head to |
| 10886s | head for these last couple fights |
| 10887s | potentially it might even be the last |
| 10888s | one right here 30 seconds left on the |
| 10890s | clock |
| 10891s | smurf low hp pitch will get the first |
| 10893s | kill though it's a one for one so fight |
| 10894s | you value m3 or smurf but |
| 10896s | i'm gonna say oh it fits in profit |
| 10898s | though that's something you can't afford |
| 10900s | to lose if you bother seoul dynasty and |
| 10901s | this is where the philly fusion |
| 10903s | time not great but they win the fight |
| 10905s | they can continue pushing seoul dynasty |
| 10906s | backs against the wall the deficit grows |
| 10909s | further here x i mean even if salt with |
| 10911s | this fight and start pushing how can |
| 10913s | they catch up |
| 10915s | yeah i'm going to take multiple fights |
| 10916s | back to back to back and nobody yeah |
| 10918s | well they can't even touch actually |
| 10919s | there |
| 10920s | they can't even touch the fusion push |
| 10922s | forward they'll push forward towards the |
| 10923s | spawn and the soul dynasty cannot even |
| 10925s | touch we talked about how much of a risk |
| 10927s | it was for seoul to take fusion to one |
| 10930s | of their best maps on new queen street |
| 10933s | coliseum was open available to pick for |
| 10935s | seoul dynasty they chose to stay away |
| 10937s | from coliseum they won |
| 10938s | against philly fusion on coliseum by a |
| 10940s | wide margin might i add we remember |
| 10942s | their scoreline and here |
| 10944s | a little bit of hubris maybe they get |
| 10946s | punished fusion a brilliant win that |
| 10948s | continues the possibility of a reverse |
| 10951s | sweep we went to five maps between these |
| 10953s | two teams in the week 18 game we will |
| 10955s | once again go to five maps so don't go |
| 10957s | anywhere the final map to decide it all |
| 10960s | comes up after this break |
| 10965s | now |
| 10972s | [Music] |

| 11138s | [Applause] |
| 11141s | [Music] |
| 11194s | what if seoul dynasty wanted to win but |
| 11196s | mn3 the tiger slayer said no new queen |
| 11198s | street a brilliant map now goes the way |
| 11201s | of the philadelphia fusion chosen by the |
| 11204s | way by the soul dynasty and we talked |
| 11206s | about the possibility of reverse sweep |
| 11207s | heroics while it is officially on the |
| 11209s | cards with two maps locked up by the |
| 11211s | philly fusion |
| 11213s | yeah now we get to that stage where |
| 11215s | dynasty it's their turn to take that map |
| 11218s | selection that yet again here obviously |
| 11220s | didn't go all too well for them in that |
| 11222s | last map but potentially now moving into |
| 11224s | a control obviously they had the upper |
| 11226s | hand when we first started this series |
| 11228s | but philly fusion i feel like they've |
| 11230s | adapted pretty well right now to what's |
| 11233s | been going on they certainly look like |
| 11234s | they have more firepower there's more |
| 11236s | lethality there as well and as close as |
| 11238s | hollywood looked it felt like |
| 11241s | i mean fusion has like played played up |
| 11244s | to seoul dynasty but now it feels like |
| 11246s | there's maybe a little bit of some |
| 11247s | distance being gained by fusion in this |
| 11250s | series so seoul dynasty definitely have |
| 11251s | to step up yeah and make something |
| 11253s | happen quick i i and here's the other |
| 11255s | opposite end of that coin as well here's |
| 11257s | i would have to say to temper |
| 11258s | expectations for fusion here because |
| 11260s | map fives have been very 50 50 for the |
| 11262s | fusion in the past they've won plenty of |
| 11264s | map fives they've also lost plenty of |
| 11266s | map fives uh fusion can reverse sweep |
| 11268s | but they've also been reversed swept in |
| 11270s | the past so you know it's kind of |
| 11271s | anything can go and i want to |
| 11273s | specifically pay attention to map |
| 11274s | selection being important for a map for |
| 11276s | team like the fusion because the two |
| 11278s | maps they've won in this series |
| 11280s | again i would have to reiterate are the |
| 11282s | two best maps for the fusion new queen |
| 11285s | street |
| 11286s | circuit royale have historically this |
| 11288s | entire year been their most successful |
| 11290s | two maps for the fusion so i don't think |
| 11292s | it's crazy they did one these did win |
| 11294s | these two maps now we go towards oasis |
| 11296s | as a reminder oasis |
| 11299s | was the map that philly fusion 2-0 |
| 11302s | versus all dynasty in that week 18 game |
| 11304s | it's actually beat seoul here |
| 11306s | seoul picked this map just to be clear |
| 11308s | solve chosen oasis they did lose oasis |
| 11310s | to fusion they beat fusion on busan |
| 11313s | albeit by owning a 2-1 score line |
| 11316s | but um |
| 11319s | this one's hard for me to call herex |
| 11321s | because i feel like philly have won here |
| 11322s | before but i think |
| 11324s | grasp it you know |
| 11326s | yeah i think i do have at least |
| 11328s | a little bit a hint of a silver lining |
| 11330s | here i think obviously this is fresh on |
| 11332s | dynasties mines they probably looked at |
| 11334s | that very recently |
| 11335s | watched it in film broke it broke it |
| 11338s | down figured out okay what needed to |
| 11339s | change from from there i think obviously |
| 11342s | philly fusion probably did very much the |
| 11343s | same but there's more to work off of |
| 11345s | that for dynasty because they're the |
| 11346s | ones that took the l there |
| 11348s | maybe they feel like what they figured |
| 11350s | out is enough for them to get out on top |
| 11352s | let's see if there's going to be a vhs |
| 11354s | diff today |
| 11355s | as |
| 11356s | lessons to be learned for the soul |
| 11357s | dynasty |
| 11359s | okay |
| 11361s | it's a risky one it's a tricky one |
| 11363s | sullivan taking the fusion to some of |
| 11364s | the good maps today stalker will take |
| 11366s | down m3 though |
| 11368s | and this could be a continuation of |
| 11370s | frags coming on through it indeed is |
| 11371s | profitable to fix it and that'll be the |
| 11373s | cleaner could be a very very good |
| 11375s | cleanup here as well i believe five |
| 11376s | kills to zero if zest falls yep there it |
| 11379s | is five on the board zero for the fusion |
| 11382s | five alive as you'd like to say at least |
| 11384s | on new queen street but |
| 11386s | while here certainly it doesn't |
| 11387s | necessarily help you you know position |
| 11389s | aggressively and get some bot coverage |
| 11391s | at least it allows you to maintain you |
| 11393s | shouldn't yeah |
| 11394s | yeah it's definitely i wouldn't do that |
| 11396s | i wouldn't kind of do that i mean that |
| 11398s | was a pitfall that charge fell into |
| 11400s | earlier on this map specifically not |
| 11401s | this sub map necessarily but |
| 11403s | definitely something i think you want to |
| 11404s | stay away from as much as you can |
| 11406s | certainly take your advantages but not |
| 11408s | all the way to the spawn doors now |
| 11409s | though seoul dynasty talking about |
| 11410s | advantages already up over 35 |
| 11412s | and on top of that looking for some |
| 11414s | picks onto fury who's very low they |
| 11415s | can't press forward without him getting |
| 11417s | a staple |
| 11418s | and i'm looking at the ultimate charge |
| 11420s | there as well but maybe it doesn't |
| 11421s | matter if we could just get the opening |
| 11422s | flag with the rail of the smurf |
| 11424s | and smurf uh the past couple of maps has |
| 11426s | struggled a little bit here for the soul |
| 11428s | dynasty |
| 11429s | seoul though don't give up the point |
| 11431s | they're actually still there it's a |
| 11432s | struggle for the fusion to actually cap |
| 11433s | this one over salt donuts here just very |
| 11435s | carefully chunking aggro in the middle |
| 11437s | of juggling fitz kills fixer so fusion |
| 11439s | they like kind of win the fight back in |
| 11441s | the smurf and now it's a one-point train |
| 11443s | neither team has a lucio alive fusion |
| 11445s | did actually cap got the flipping over |
| 11447s | at least solar isn't getting more points |
| 11449s | in the camp now but if they can heal |
| 11450s | stalker up the blades gonna be available |
| 11453s | that will open the fight and that bomb |
| 11455s | dynasty as well i'm just allowing the |
| 11457s | lucius to come back into the fight |
| 11458s | because i need to reset we use shout |
| 11460s | gotta make sure that you have that |
| 11461s | available you don't want to press into a |
| 11463s | fight without that cooldown available |
| 11465s | well guess what now it is so is the |
| 11466s | blade for stalker and saul just walked |
| 11469s | on up they have just entirely walked |
| 11471s | through this point now trying to get |
| 11472s | this cap going forward soccer pulls play |
| 11473s | there's no response says mm3 gets caught |
| 11476s | up he's a very important member to get |
| 11477s | down early it's a lot of the firepower |
| 11479s | god zest can pull his own play but it's |
| 11481s | a four versus five fury going down means |
| 11483s | that zest now has to hold as well as |
| 11485s | fixer and ain't got just trying to delay |
| 11487s | as long as possible folks are giving his |
| 11489s | life away for it and salt will get the |
| 11491s | flip and do not allow few |
| 11493s | to overtake in percentage points |
| 11495s | i think delaying actually was the key |
| 11497s | for dynasty start that fight off like i |
| 11499s | said |
| 11500s | just having the ability to wait out that |
| 11502s | cooldown have the shot available have |
| 11504s | your lucio available as well you don't |
| 11506s | even utilize too many resources outside |
| 11507s | of that you just invest the blade you |
| 11509s | get the flip now you're at 75 percent |
| 11511s | and you start to go one to one see if |
| 11512s | you can steal a fight away by getting an |
| 11514s | early pick but you have to keep smurf |
| 11515s | alive |
| 11516s | okay so since it says time to go now |
| 11518s | it's double supported when it's |
| 11519s | available for the sole dynasty they |
| 11520s | actually fall ready first ready now |
| 11522s | responded to you by ain't and zest |
| 11523s | cannot get through all the shielding |
| 11525s | cannot get through the hp |
| 11527s | sound barrier is not in position to |
| 11528s | block out the rampage his first one |
| 11530s | coming up through fitz saved by the |
| 11531s | sound barrier very important there m3 |
| 11534s | the overclock is looking for damage and |
| 11535s | smurf finally gets a beautiful rampage |
| 11537s | four members caught and the sound |
| 11538s | barrier is gone this is opportunity now |
| 11540s | seoul getting so much work done off the |
| 11542s | back of that rampage and they're gonna |
| 11544s | win the fight there 84 percent the flip |
| 11545s | did come on through fusion stole the cap |
| 11547s | but sol dynasty might steal away this |
| 11549s | round |
| 11551s | really good play there from fusion they |
| 11553s | at least afford themselves one more |
| 11555s | fight and you look at dynasty well they |
| 11557s | don't have any all certainly fusion |
| 11558s | feeling very much the same and it's cert |
| 11560s | it may even come down with 12 seconds |
| 11562s | left now to whether or not fusion can |
| 11564s | touch and i think that's going to fall |
| 11566s | firmly on zest shoulders to try to get |
| 11569s | the tracer there and make sure that they |
| 11570s | still have recall ideally |
| 11572s | to be able to continue this fight and i |
| 11574s | i think that they did actually manage to |
| 11576s | hold on to that cooldown |
| 11578s | it can be hard to hold on to that given |
| 11579s | when you touch you know you're in a lot |
| 11581s | of trouble there so you might have to |
| 11582s | recall early in fact |
| 11583s | this will do his best now to try and get |
| 11585s | that cool down back if it has been used |
| 11587s | proper saved by the commanding shelter |
| 11588s | they're sold dynasty low hp and a couple |
| 11590s | of members their fixer runs up the fence |
| 11592s | and collects them down soccer trains are |
| 11593s | the fear it's a one for one so far |
| 11595s | sorker gets further kills yes talking is |
| 11597s | just doing so much work console dinosaur |
| 11599s | three kills both the supports down pause |
| 11601s | the blade at the back of it hunch down |
| 11603s | mn3 zest is the only one alive and well |
| 11605s | the ace might not be there but sold |
| 11607s | they'll take the win regardless |
| 11609s | huge win there for stalkers especially |
| 11612s | but dynasty will take it as a whole as a |
| 11614s | collective unit |
| 11615s | we decided of relief because it felt |
| 11618s | like fusion was just continuing to kind |
| 11620s | of breathe down their necks and despite |
| 11622s | the position that dynasty was in and now |
| 11624s | we transition over into our next sub map |
| 11627s | here and seoul dynasty yet again with a |
| 11630s | a lead but one that i don't think that |
| 11632s | they can feel necessarily overly |
| 11634s | comfortable with because remember fusion |
| 11636s | loves to do this when they are down and |
| 11639s | it feels like they're out they surprise |
| 11641s | you every single time it feels like can |
| 11643s | i surprise you with a stat line really |
| 11644s | quickly before we get into this round |
| 11647s | here the kills or deaths between the two |
| 11649s | teams sell dynasty versus fusion 19-3 |
| 11652s | that's right fusion only got three final |
| 11653s | blows an entire round i don't know what |
| 11655s | percentage points they had on the cap |
| 11657s | but it's a lot given they only had three |
| 11659s | final blows stalker and profit haven't |
| 11661s | even died yet they're still deathless |
| 11663s | so uh |
| 11664s | and well that continues now as seth goes |
| 11666s | down it's 23. solves honestly looking |
| 11668s | like they want to dominate here fury |
| 11670s | could be in trouble next and we saw |
| 11672s | seoul dynasty just running the philly |
| 11673s | fusion on that first run at university |
| 11675s | clean them up five to zero and it's |
| 11677s | looking like it'll happen again nobody |
| 11680s | increasingly difficult now for the |
| 11682s | philly fusion but not out of it just yet |
| 11685s | just like in the series they fought |
| 11687s | their way back into a map number five |
| 11689s | they could certainly do the same for |
| 11690s | round number three but after a neutral |
| 11693s | fight win for dynasty where they're |
| 11694s | gonna have an early rally |
| 11696s | potentially if they can win this next |
| 11697s | fight but look at zach's position he's |
| 11699s | worked his way around he's flanking |
| 11700s | behind them he has to be careful though |
| 11703s | because uh his team if it's too far away |
| 11705s | he's not going to be able to be |
| 11706s | supported |
| 11707s | and despite the flanking despite all the |
| 11709s | cuteness of that zest we'll just get the |
| 11710s | one kill simply to trade vindang for |
| 11712s | fixing you take that lucio for lucio |
| 11714s | very low hp means that fusion do have to |
| 11715s | back on out and with that solve dynasty |
| 11718s | have a chance to get vendang back into |
| 11719s | action fusion don't want to push without |
| 11720s | fixer we're back into a 5v5 |
| 11724s | 40 now for dynasty fusion |
| 11727s | i mean i don't want to say running out |
| 11728s | of time but certainly time is against |
| 11729s | them but they are now looking for |
| 11731s | stalker |
| 11733s | so we've got low there but profit pulls |
| 11734s | the rally first fury is again very low |
| 11737s | hp he is again going to be taken down |
| 11739s | here proper staying alive it's more |
| 11741s | kills coming from seoul when is fusion |
| 11742s | got to get a single final blow |
| 11745s | i think they got maybe one no they could |
| 11746s | they did a good one they got vending |
| 11747s | down so they're going from three to four |
| 11749s | heroics we're improving |
| 11752s | it's gonna have to find a lot more than |
| 11753s | that and unfortunately for them stock is |
| 11755s | gonna have to blade in this next fight |
| 11756s | they're gonna probably have rally there |
| 11758s | but oftentimes rally even with a shout |
| 11760s | layered over the top of it is simply not |
| 11762s | enough |
| 11763s | so fix a |
| 11765s | burden is on you can you get something |
| 11767s | done and maybe even just display stalker |
| 11771s | to try to limit and mitigate this blade |
| 11774s | okay well stolka can definitely get a |
| 11775s | lot done here it's looking pretty decent |
| 11776s | so far fix it gets a kill that's a big |
| 11778s | shot down the stalker that's exactly |
| 11779s | what you need from the philly side fury |
| 11781s | low hp is there gonna be a sound barrier |
| 11783s | from fixer no doesn't need it zester |
| 11785s | fixer will get all the kills regardless |
| 11786s | of what the sole dynasty want to do |
| 11788s | shutting down both fits and stalkers so |
| 11790s | important and even more important than |
| 11792s | that fusion get on the board big time |
| 11794s | they got five kills there the entire |
| 11796s | sole dynasty wiped out |
| 11798s | gotta be pretty much perfect here though |
| 11800s | from here on out and |
| 11802s | fusion's certainly a team capable of |
| 11803s | doing just that obviously they have a |
| 11805s | slight advantage in economy the fact |
| 11807s | that mn3 |
| 11809s | one of their i think pivotal players |
| 11811s | critical players must have overclock |
| 11813s | coming up might fall to that to see if |
| 11815s | fusion can sustain here |
| 11817s | the rampages have been very mixed as |
| 11819s | well from both sides fury probably has |
| 11820s | had the better ram pages so far smurf |
| 11822s | though but a brilliant one on ukraine |
| 11824s | street |
| 11825s | well not this question on university so |
| 11827s | here we go rampage is coming on through |
| 11829s | five caught on the side assault dynasty |
| 11830s | vindam gonna do so much to keep them |
| 11832s | alive smurf tries to pull on through |
| 11833s | he's trying to clutch down but it's now |
| 11835s | 3v5 clutch at least they might get |
| 11837s | angled they do fixes to fall following |
| 11839s | that but smurf on his lonesome you can't |
| 11841s | do more |
| 11842s | it's a late rampage it looks okay but |
| 11845s | you don't have the players alive to |
| 11847s | capitalize on killing aim god and fix it |
| 11849s | and that might have given away |
| 11851s | what could have been a gift for them i |
| 11854s | mean think about it philly fusion |
| 11856s | you look at their economy it is |
| 11857s | destitute they are barren out there and |
| 11860s | if you talk about having a rally and a |
| 11862s | rampage advantage going into the next |
| 11864s | fight |
| 11865s | man that could have been almost a gimme |
| 11867s | now seoul dynasty gonna have to work a |
| 11869s | little bit hard for this oh and they |
| 11870s | can't rally now that's gonna be profit |
| 11872s | taken down right so they just have less |
| 11874s | and less to work through infusion they |
| 11876s | can definitely win this map and the |
| 11877s | round rather to continue the map on to |
| 11879s | number three city center comes up next |
| 11882s | and |
| 11882s | one of the precipice of it |
| 11884s | 20 away |
| 11887s | rally now finally coming up for profit |
| 11889s | it caught him in the last fight gonna |
| 11891s | have to do so again as philly fusion |
| 11893s | still very much building but this looks |
| 11895s | to be i mean really the final fight of |
| 11898s | this round |
| 11899s | so they're looking to end it here they |
| 11901s | don't want to go to a round number three |
| 11903s | and m3 and zest and low fury being |
| 11905s | caught by a lot of damage there's all |
| 11906s | fury in the corner they call fury in the |
| 11908s | corner that could be the map that could |
| 11909s | be the entire series going away seoul |
| 11911s | dynasty have another frag fusion no |
| 11913s | responses they don't have a single kill |
| 11915s | here they're invisible airmen three and |
| 11917s | zest to hold down the fort they're |
| 11919s | trying their best but smurf says no |
| 11922s | seoul say no they deny the reverse sweep |
| 11925s | and they will get the series down to |
| 11927s | face the shanghai dragons in the upper |
| 11929s | bracket final |
| 11931s | huge win dynasty unfortunate for fusion |
| 11934s | especially their fans too going on yet |
| 11936s | another wild ride and you can see it on |
| 11939s | their faces i i would feel very much the |
| 11941s | same way |
| 11942s | i mean going that five map set again i |
| 11945s | mean how many times has it been this |
| 11947s | stage alone that we see them get here |
| 11950s | and sometimes they succeed sometimes |
| 11952s | they fall a little bit short here it was |
| 11954s | the latter but dynasty again |
| 11957s | establishing |
| 11958s | as one of the top two teams here but i |
| 11961s | think you know charge and fusion both |
| 11963s | look pretty solid still |
| 11965s | and it's crazy that we we kind of um |
| 11967s | repeat the same score lines from the |
| 11969s | qualifier as well |
| 11970s | uh which is to say that shanghai 3-0 |
| 11972s | charge as they did in the qualify and |
| 11974s | then seoul dynasty |
| 11976s | very with a lot of turmoil i barely get |
| 11979s | a 3-2 victory versus fusion but we sort |
| 11982s | of repeat the same score line again |
| 11983s | albeit this time and a lot more |
| 11985s | dangerous fashion i think for both teams |
| 11987s | in a way because you're sold you have a |
| 11988s | 2-0 lead that's quite dangerous with the |
| 11990s | fusion but the fusion get another two |
| 11992s | maps to start a reverse sweep that's |
| 11994s | quite dangerous for the seoul dynasty i |
| 11995s | think both teams have a lot to take away |
| 11997s | from this game in terms of it not being |
| 11999s | quite comfortable with your fusion i |
| 12001s | mean it just is so close you talk about |
| 12003s | a wild ride here this is mr fusion's |
| 12005s | wild ride right you have |
| 12007s | two round two maps coming in to kind of |
| 12010s | making you believe in the reverse sweep |
| 12012s | but then |
| 12012s | number five it just falls apart |
| 12015s | yeah unfortunate for fusion but i think |
| 12018s | good news for dynasty because some of |
| 12019s | the things that are working really well |
| 12021s | for them continue to work and one of |
| 12022s | those things is stalker gonna be the |
| 12025s | player of the match for this series and |
| 12026s | i think rightfully so right because |
| 12028s | when you look at who was making a |
| 12030s | massive difference throughout this |
| 12032s | series time and time again it was |
| 12033s | stalker it was those blades finding the |
| 12035s | kills again in a meta where there's so |
| 12037s | many defensive utilities |
| 12039s | still finding just 3ks 4ks |
| 12043s | at that level consistency that's what |
| 12045s | separates |
| 12046s | and you know even winning in a big way |
| 12049s | on the maps they lost as well stalker |
| 12051s | putting up big numbers even on circuit |
| 12053s | even on new queen street and it's a very |
| 12055s | interesting dichotomy here between him |
| 12058s | and zest because you have a situation |
| 12060s | where zest has kind of been you know |
| 12061s | popping off and lauded as one of the |
| 12063s | best uh you know players just generally |
| 12065s | speaking from apac the entire way |
| 12066s | through you know a player that you have |
| 12068s | to be considerate of in the rookie of |
| 12070s | the year discussion however i think |
| 12071s | today specifically stalker has this |
| 12074s | number you know there were a number of |
| 12075s | maps resist honestly could have done a |
| 12077s | lot more it seemed maybe out of |
| 12079s | character that zest was a bit quiet |
| 12080s | there stalker no bad performances all |
| 12083s | five maps he showed up he stood tall he |
| 12086s | outperformed his counterpart and zest |
| 12087s | and he comes in so late in the season as |
| 12089s | well i mean this guy barely played in |
| 12091s | the first two stages he played a lot |
| 12092s | more in mid-season madness now he's |
| 12094s | getting a full starting role on the team |
| 12097s | in in mid in summer showdown and kind of |
| 12099s | proving why he is still a player that |
| 12101s | you have to fear he is so |
| 12103s | much of a strong force on the sole |
| 12105s | dynasty roster so many huge moments |
| 12107s | today |
| 12109s | yeah definitely come |
| 12110s | a long way a a journey himself as well |
| 12114s | since the first time that i remember |
| 12116s | seeing him all the way back when i was |
| 12117s | casting in korea i think that was 2019 |
| 12120s | stalker |
| 12121s | playing |
| 12122s | yeah i mean it's it's been a journey but |
| 12124s | one that i think he's finding some |
| 12126s | success on because obviously you know |
| 12128s | you know you now see a team |
| 12130s | moving forward into the winners finals |
| 12131s | yes you have to take on shanghai dragons |
| 12133s | but at least for now you can breathe a |
| 12134s | sign of relief and say look we made it a |
| 12136s | step forward now let's see what we can |
| 12138s | do against what has been a pretty |
| 12140s | indomitable team one that is very hard |
| 12143s | to surpass but hey maybe seoul can pull |
| 12145s | it out |
| 12147s | well hearings it's been good having you |
| 12148s | on the overwatch league congratulations |
| 12150s | on your official debut here especially |
| 12152s | the summer showdown tournament as well |
| 12153s | but that will do it for the day we have |
| 12155s | closed up our first opening round of |
| 12157s | matches congratulations to both seoul |
