552s	what is up OverWatch fans I hope you
555s	guys are all as excited as I am today
557s	the best marginalized gender Talent the
560s	OverWatch scene has to offer has coales
562s	today to bring you a show it's the
564s	playoffs it's the last day of the
567s	calling all heroes rise together minor 3
570s	hosted by Toronto Defiance and like I
572s	said I'm so excited to get to be here
575s	today my name of course is CB and I'm
577s	just as excited to get to be joined by a
579s	brand new face here lemon kiwi how are
581s	you doing today hi I'm so excited to be
585s	here first time casting together too and
588s	I mean there's a lot of new Talent here
590s	of course to put a spotlight on but what
592s	a journey these players have been on to
595s	now there's four teams we're going to be
596s	deciding One champion today so I hope
598s	everyone's buckled in for some amazing
601s	OverWatch I mean we've had some pretty
603s	amazing OverWatch thus far going back
604s	through the entire bracket from top to
606s	bottom one of the most amazing things
608s	that we've seen already is the fact that
610s	in that Grand Final spot already sits
612s	Washington Timeless who has not dropped
615s	a single map they have bent but they
617s	have not break broken forgot what the
619s	past tense for break was for a second
621s	there I'm too excited they have bent but
623s	they have not broken they haven't given
625s	even an inch and no team feels as though
627s	they have truly tested them so they sit
629s	in that Grand Final spot potentially
631s	awaiting their next challenge as three
634s	other potential Challengers VI for their
636s	date with Destiny to join them for that
638s	grand finals yes I am such a big fan of
641s	bun on that roster I've been casting
644s	them multiple times and she deserves
647s	that owl offer what are we waiting for
650s	like she deserves that promotion to
651s	OverWatch League she was one of the best
652s	soers I've ever casted so I'm looking
654s	forward to seeing if Washington Timeless
656s	that armor can crack cuz of course with
659s	how stacked their roster is I wouldn't
661s	be surprised if they just didn't drop a
663s	game I'm I'm really glad that you bring
665s	up Bun like one of the the biggest
666s	stories coming out of uh of bun
668s	specifically in Washington Timeless
670s	Squad is Bun's walls have just been
672s	incredible on the may like complete
674s	gamechanging stuff always in the right
676s	place at the right time to block
677s	shatters to cut off lines of sight when
679s	that wall goes up a tank is surely on
682s	death St it's incredible to see and
684s	definitely something to keep your eyes
685s	on but let's go over really quick how uh
689s	how we're getting here how we got here
691s	let's have a look at the event today we
694s	played through all of these rounds of
696s	Swiss six rounds to narrow the pool down
699s	from 17 teams to just eight and those
701s	eight teams went head-to-head starting
704s	yesterday in a double elimination
706s	bracket we are at the culmination of
708s	that we only have three games left to
711s	play all first to three and we're going
713s	to see who our next calling all heroes
715s	Champion is going to be today and I just
718s	love to see the representation
719s	um of course of OverWatch League brands
721s	that are coming in you know the
723s	Washington
724s	Justice um the Valiant Guardians and
728s	amongst others like it's just great to
730s	see the teams support this just next
732s	generation of talent putting a spotlight
734s	on people who have just either never
736s	been on teams or never had that chance
738s	to go to the next step and just this
740s	whole platform and how much it means to
742s	the community so thank you everyone
743s	that's come by to support watch and
746s	cheer on their friends and those good
747s	luck competing today because this is
749s	going to be some intense matches I that
752s	that is what it's all about though like
753s	you said those underrepresented those
755s	marginalized gender players the best
757s	that the OverWatch scene has to offer
759s	get having a place to compete to grind
761s	it out to show the world what they are
763s	capable of that is what calling all
765s	heroes is all about but for the players
767s	it's also a little bit about the cash
769s	prizes and those circuit points let's
772s	have a quick look at what it is that
774s	these teams are actually playing for of
776s	course that uh that 2300 CAD is going to
780s	go crazy that's going to be the big
781s	motivating factor for a lot of these
783s	teams but in my own personal opinion the
786s	uh the thing that they really need to be
788s	looking for are the circuit points
790s	because this is the last chance before
792s	major 3 which will be their actual last
794s	chance to gain any circuit points and
797s	buy their way into the Championships
800s	that you see over there in February
802s	we're running out of time it's starting
804s	to get dicey the top of the CH the top
806s	of the hierarchy is already kind of
808s	sorting itself out and if you're one of
810s	these teams like you know say bearclaw
812s	gaming who has just kind of come into
814s	their own you want to try and get as
815s	many of those points as you can so you
817s	can make sure that you are among those
819s	that don't have to go through that lcq
821s	to try and get there to Champs and what
824s	like we already reiterated just how long
826s	this journey this adventure is and it
828s	really mimics a like a real League like
830s	you are winning tournament after
831s	tournament over different metas over the
834s	span of what almost like a year like the
837s	championship is in February so whatever
839s	ever happens here there is so much to
840s	improve on to build off of and this
843s	won't be the end of the road for some
845s	teams that are still making that that
847s	climbed the peak yeah it's it's still
849s	like I said not quite their last chance
851s	but hey viewers for you it might be your
853s	last chance to get yourself in on some
856s	skins we've got some drops for you guys
859s	today the Kido and Hanzo will be
861s	available today if uh if you were
863s	watching last weekend you did miss out
865s	on getting the contenders Mercy skin
867s	very sorry to be the bearer of bad news
869s	but you know everybody still loves Hanzo
872s	and Kiko Kiko is one of my favorite
873s	Heroes and I'd love to support tier 2
875s	while supporting calling all heroes by
877s	repping that skin in game so get your
879s	drops be sure to get all your friends to
880s	tune in and get those drops
883s	Gamers heck yeah I know uh that Mercy
886s	skin brought up a lot of hype but these
889s	are limited edition if you want to be a
891s	real supporter of tier 2 you need to
894s	pick these up and I'm just also just so
897s	stoked to be back on the contenders
898s	Channel I know there's been a lot of
900s	hype here a lot of growing talent and I
903s	really relate to those people who are
904s	just trying to prove themselves both as
907s	a person as a player in this community
909s	that rise to the top and once you know
912s	they hit 18 19 they could go to the
915s	OverWatch league and then really step up
917s	from there but I I just love casting
919s	platforms like this because there's just
921s	so much passion and so much hunger from
922s	these players and you're about to see
925s	all of that passion and all of that
926s	hunger on display cuz I've had the
928s	privilege of getting to cast since day
929s	one for this tournament watching all of
931s	these teams grow and play their hearts
933s	out non-stop it has been a building
936s	Symphony and we're building just a
938s	little bit more towards that grand
939s	Crescendo where one team is going to
942s	face off against Washington Timeless but
943s	we have to kick it off with our first
946s	matchup of the day and we're we're going
948s	to be in the lower bracket essentially
949s	all day it's win or go home for all of
952s	these teams and we're starting off with
954s	bearclaw gaming going up against
957s	drainers this is going to be a good
960s	match I mean this has been just a fight
963s	at the bottom like you said it's going
964s	to be first to three bearclaw gaming the
967s	last two matches reverse sweeps they
970s	have been clawing their way in the name
973s	to get to this point drainers though
975s	they had a big bounceback once they lost
977s	to the you know that lossless team of
979s	Washington Timeless so I'm excited for
982s	this match yeah everyone seems to be
984s	falling victim to Washington Timeless
986s	one thing that is interesting though is
987s	that their claw G have yet to be on
990s	Washington timeless' chopping block
992s	they're the only person that hasn't had
994s	two attempts at trying to come at the
996s	Kings if you include Swiss rounds so
998s	seeing bearclaw gaming you know this is
1001s	the team's Journey thus far seeing how
1003s	far they've come first of all none of
1004s	the teams that they beat in Swiss to get
1006s	here were playoff teams and like you've
1008s	seen they've been fighting for their
1010s	lives ever since they've been in
1011s	playoffs with those two back-to-back
1013s	reverse sweeps against Vancouver Titans
1014s	blue and Fable but the team that put
1016s	them in that lower bracket is drainers
1020s	if they want their chance at Washington
1022s	Timeless in the finals they got to go
1024s	through the ones that already got one
1026s	over on them and these are two very very
1029s	evenly matched teams in my opinion just
1031s	looking at how they ended the Swiss
1033s	bracket both at four and two but bear
1036s	claw in fourth place or came out in
1038s	fourth place and then trainers in fifth
1040s	so we just have two teams that could go
1042s	neck and neck and it's the lower bracket
1044s	so there's all that pressure there's
1046s	people watching and maybe for a lot of
1048s	these players are not used to playing in
1050s	such a serious environment with so much
1052s	money on the line with everybody
1054s	watching how they're going to perform
1055s	and micro analyze everything they're
1057s	doing on top of of course casters U
1059s	hping everything they do up so it's a
1062s	lot of pressure to compete in something
1063s	like this I I've been sure to give them
1065s	the hype and I'm happy to keep hyping
1067s	them up especially you know drainers cuz
1069s	this roster is like kind of sleepy good
1072s	in a way it's one of those rosters that
1073s	has a lot of talent to it and a fair bit
1075s	of accolades it's got Kindred and
1077s	Scarlet formerly known as wiah who are
1080s	previous calling all heroes minor
1082s	Champions they won minor one as part of
1084s	nyxl Academy and there is still a ton of
1087s	other Talent on this roster KJ has been
1089s	phenomenal on the hit scan IES has had
1091s	some insane plays on the Genji I still
1094s	kind of want to hyperfocus on Kindred
1096s	here mostly because I see junker Queen
1099s	in front of my eyes and that just kind
1101s	of activates the neurons but speaking of
1103s	junker Queen Kindred is one of the best
1105s	junker Queens if not the best in calling
1107s	all heroes I've been staying at all
1109s	tournament long and it's very conducive
1111s	to the style that drainers want to play
1114s	Kindred wants to go very very aggressive
1116s	on either the junker queen or the
1118s	Reinhardt get in the enemy's face and
1121s	really really make them sweat and it has
1123s	worked wonders for them against pretty
1124s	much everyone except for Washington
1127s	Timeless thus far and then you have zeep
1129s	and Scarlet who are just going to fight
1130s	over arari I guess so we got twins in
1133s	the support line that's the type of
1134s	synergy I like to see um and then KJ
1137s	Bastion I was hoping the Bastion would
1140s	die off in the meta but it is such a
1142s	punishing hero towards people out of
1144s	position so we'll see how KJ will do on
1146s	the Bastion really any hit scan I know
1148s	in the meta and playoffs there was just
1150s	so many different choices of hit scan
1152s	from Soldier Bastion and others so
1155s	excited to get into this very first map
1157s	it will be loser picks um the maps and
1160s	then our better seed of I believe what
1162s	trainer or sorry bearclaw that maybe
1165s	pick our first m i i
1169s	yeah I'm not sure which actually is the
1170s	higher seed at this point but yeah there
1172s	will be an early map pick there will be
1174s	a map pick we promise hey regardless
1176s	though I mean we still got to talk a
1177s	little bit about bearclaw Gaming's
1179s	roster because they have another roster
1180s	that much like drainers is kind of
1182s	sleepy good you don't really look you
1184s	know you don't really know what you're
1186s	going to get with this team when you
1187s	first look at them but when you watch
1189s	them play they are capable of Miracles
1191s	they are Scrappy they have got that
1193s	reverse sweep pedigree I don't think
1194s	they're going to come out here with two
1196s	tanks and only one support that might be
1198s	a little sus to me but you know I do
1201s	expect you know Garchomp to come out on
1203s	that tank they've been phenomenal uh all
1206s	of the tanks in calling all heroes this
1207s	time around have been phenomenal
1209s	Garchomp is no different and I also want
1211s	to keep an eye on Dynamic who has also
1213s	been a Lynch pin for this team coming up
1215s	with some of those big plays on the
1216s	Genji specifically I'm glad that one's
1218s	uh represented with the graphic there
1220s	but this is a team that you cannot sleep
1222s	on if you if you take them for granted
1224s	they will take Maps off of you and
1226s	potentially take the whole series I'm
1229s	just looking at this hero composition of
1232s	what they chose and I'm giggling can you
1235s	imagine if this was met I mean back in
1238s	my day when there wasn't roock this was
1241s	the thing that could happen but the
1244s	mercy would be stressed out of her mind
1246s	trying to go after the ham and the
1247s	doomfist but mad respect to Garchomp as
1250s	the tank been hyped up we were we were
1253s	wondering if they were going to be uh
1255s	starting on tank today they are but
1257s	hopefully not on Mercy else she got some
1260s	Buffs in the muscle Department that's
1261s	what I got to say but we got some bear
1263s	versus bear action too with our both our
1266s	teams having Bear logos so we got to
1268s	settle which bear is
1269s	surviving it's uh all coming down to The
1272s	Bear Necessities also I want to go ahead
1274s	and thank you for putting the idea of
1275s	buff Mercy in my mind not like buff her
1277s	as yeah yeah that kind of buff gun yeah
1280s	give her those kind of guns Mercy but
1282s	she is buff like yeah that's now anytime
1285s	I see someone calling for Mercy Buffs
1287s	that's what I'm going to think of so
1288s	thank you for that uh that'll live in my
1290s	head rentree but you know we're going to
1292s	have to you know it is dra going to be
1295s	Diner's map pick so we're going to have
1296s	to see where they end up taking us for
1298s	the first round of control and it's
1300s	going to be Oasis which is actually a
1302s	little bit interesting I think we've
1303s	only seen Oasis on broadcast here once
1306s	but this actually plays really really
1308s	well into the drainer style uh overall
1311s	The Meta has kind of trended towards
1313s	that Sigma composition that Florida
1315s	Mayhem won the grand finals with in owl
1317s	uh you know so a lot of Sigma a lot of
1319s	Bastion Lucio Bap that's the whole
1321s	shebang but that's not what drainers
1323s	want to play they want to play that very
1324s	fast aggressive rolly style and on both
1327s	Gardens and University for Oasis that
1329s	can work wonders for them it's City
1331s	Center that I think is the anomaly yeah
1334s	City Center is a little bit difficult to
1336s	cross the the No Man's Land the no
1338s	person's land in the middle of the map
1340s	but that is exactly what junker Queen
1342s	kind of facilitates as one of the
1343s	options of Rush is you have usually two
1346s	speed options of the Lucio or the junker
1348s	Queen and some people even in OverWatch
1350s	League will use Rampage not necessarily
1352s	to hate anybody with it but sometimes to
1354s	Gap close and to start fights on their
1356s	terms whether the other team is missing
1358s	important cooldowns suzu immortality Etc
1361s	there's so many windows of opportunity
1363s	that Kindred on drainers has to identify
1366s	on that junker Queen but if it's not
1368s	City Center well the other two rounds
1370s	right are are great for Rush uh
1372s	especially if you go to university yeah
1375s	University is very much so like one of
1377s	the best Junger Queen points I think
1379s	it's it's so tight so narrow so easy for
1382s	her to just hit that commanding shout
1384s	get right up in your face and there's
1385s	only one thing that you can do and
1387s	that's hold down your s key until your
1388s	healers have line of sight of you again
1390s	otherwise back to spawn you go that's
1393s	going to be a quick and easy drainers
1394s	win but again bearclaw gaming are
1396s	Scrappy they are capable of playing up
1398s	to their opponents as we've seen time
1400s	and time again but it was drainers that
1402s	put them down in the situation where is
1404s	win or go home for both teams can they
1406s	get one over on drainers here can can
1408s	they turn the tides can they not only
1411s	potentially reverse sweep them but
1413s	reverse sweep them completely out of the
1415s	playoff bracket cuz rainers are one of
1416s	the favorites I got to say trainers may
1419s	be the favorites but bar clar the
1422s	reverse sweep kings queens royalty of
1426s	the calling all heroes tournament we're
1427s	beginning on Oasis let us know in the
1429s	chat who you think is going to win
1431s	drainers or bear claw only one bear
1434s	could survive this season in this first
1436s	to three low bracket semis to go up uh
1440s	against who is it valali and Guardians
1442s	waiting in the lower bracket final it's
1444s	it's quite the gauntlet to have to go
1446s	through especially if you're bearclaw
1447s	gaming coming off with two reverse
1449s	sweeps to have to go against drainers
1451s	and even if you beat them there's
1453s	Valiant Guardians waiting next and
1455s	somehow some way you scratch and Claw
1457s	your way over them now you got the
1460s	undefeated Washington Timeless waiting
1462s	for you in Grand finals it's a lot to
1463s	have to go through and it's not going to
1465s	be any easier if drainers are the ones
1467s	who end up taking it I do want to Circle
1469s	back to something that you said really
1470s	quick about bearclaw gaming calling them
1472s	a verse sweep royalty that goes hard
1475s	just you were trying to find like King's
1477s	Queen's royalty I know I was the
1479s	non-binary what is that reverse sweep
1482s	royalty just goes hard as a saying
1484s	that's what I'm sticking
1485s	with h and what's hard is also these
1489s	cars that hit you and I this is one of
1492s	my favorite environmental kills to be
1494s	happening I hope nobody has to play that
1497s	Highway side but it is is a counter a
1499s	counter position to anyone who takes
1500s	that initial High Ground on the elevator
1503s	side so here we go our map number one of
1506s	our lower semi-finals between drainers
1508s	and bearclaw gaming and you already see
1509s	drainers on The High Ground yeah and
1511s	this is exactly the kind of
1512s	compositional style I was talking about
1514s	drainers are opening up with that junker
1515s	Queen composition bearclaw gaming that's
1517s	that famous Sigma comp that we've been
1519s	seeing all tournament long they're going
1521s	to want to try and play at distance play
1522s	for the Poke and play to get the wheels
1524s	down so they can pump out all of the
1525s	damage on Kindred when she gets a little
1527s	too aggressive but without AES I mean
1530s	she might think twice oh how did Eves
1532s	get sniped like that like the approach
1535s	is very difficult against the team of
1537s	bar claw who just have this crazy burst
1540s	with the Bastion Garchomp who could take
1543s	so much pressure and once they removed
1545s	that one member of draer be claw gaming
1548s	came out of hibernation to do work I
1551s	mean I drainers have often tended
1553s	towards this Genji Soldier and kind of
1555s	DPS line but I'm curious as to why they
1556s	might not be running the May right right
1558s	now cuz as you all know Garchomp is four
1561s	times weak to ice type mov so this is
1562s	just a bad typ match up for drainers but
1565s	it also does mean that Kindred can't
1567s	really get off and like section the
1569s	enemy Sigma off and go aggressive the
1571s	way you would expect with like a Ry Rush
1573s	composition they have to rely on the
1574s	pick potential oh KJ in trouble sliding
1577s	out of those DMS though Gom really
1579s	wanted that kill but might have put
1580s	themselves in a awkward position but
1582s	thanks to the protective Mayall of Dynam
1584s	Dynamic looks like their claw are okay
1586s	and now they respond with an ification
1588s	Matrix drainers are so low they have
1591s	their health drain and Kindred could
1593s	reconnect with the support there of zeep
1595s	a four vers the score basion there
1597s	unlocked there by Bion and up above is
1600s	evest on the Genji so they got to maybe
1602s	readjust a position to get out of sight
1605s	of that assassin KJ unleashing with the
1608s	overclock but with that tank and now a
1610s	sound barrier in the way there's just no
1612s	shot for draer I mean it's just so much
1614s	health to chunk through and without your
1616s	junker Queen there who by the way kred
1617s	is lagging behind in the old charge here
1619s	that Rampage is not coming out anytime
1621s	soon oh boy how is gar still alive
1624s	they've gone so close to dying and that
1627s	was a great dash out from EV as to dodge
1629s	the uh blizzard place by Dynamic and bar
1632s	claw continued to ravage these fights
1635s	and I mean drainers they're investing
1637s	the katun rush into this still not
1638s	finding anything Kindred has still yet
1640s	to come even close to that Rampage she's
1642s	just now starting to build up to it but
1644s	that late stagger kill on zest means
1645s	this is kind of already one fight Terr
1648s	for bearclaw gaming and they have that
1650s	gravitic flux artillery strike combo
1652s	that can completely shut it out the
1653s	world is on wickah shoulders right now
1655s	how big is this sound barrier going to
1657s	be it'll be used to at least counter the
1661s	gravitic flux but will Bion get any
1663s	initial picks got hindred to half Health
1665s	there's a gravitic flux it lifts up that
1667s	tank the Scout Bar doesn't save them not
1670s	enough cushion but evest is looking for
1672s	the trades has to deal with the
1673s	immortality first gets pooped Away by
1676s	kqa with 100 KERO looming bear clock
1680s	gaming are making a statement against
1682s	the drainers who just have to reassess
1684s	this the FL with Strong Enough by KJ and
1687s	wiah and Kindred is going to go to round
1689s	two as well I mean this is also kind of
1692s	what I was alluding to when we were in
1694s	the pre-show segment talking about Oasis
1695s	and how City Center is just not
1697s	conducive to this junker Queen
1699s	composition it's so difficult for her to
1700s	close the distance especially when you
1702s	have an enemy Bastion a made section you
1704s	off the sigma poking you and the B Lucio
1707s	keeping that Sigma alive pumping out all
1709s	of the healing you just can't really
1711s	find all that much value so if your
1714s	drainers you kind of just write that one
1715s	off go next and thankfully next is
1718s	University where it very much so does
1720s	benefit that Smashmouth style that
1722s	aggressive in-your-face style that
1724s	trainers have made their trademark thus
1726s	far they're going to swap over onto a
1728s	rine composition which I don't hate but
1731s	I still kind of would have liked to see
1732s	the junker Queen try it a little bit
1734s	more here yeah the I think um either or
1737s	works Ryan is a little bit tankier than
1739s	junker Queen doesn't have as much
1740s	self-healing but when you don't need the
1742s	speed of junker Queen then Reinhardt can
1744s	be a better option that Shield can last
1746s	a long time they can hold this Coast
1748s	position for as long as they want I
1750s	guess if you're going to randomly fire
1751s	strike acio then it could be a free
1753s	fight Kindred crosses over has a Bastion
1756s	unloading right in front of them Kindred
1758s	smart Shield Usage Now gets around to
1761s	access that Bastion and bear claw gaming
1763s	are insane but that'll be maybe the
1766s	first fight for drainers all map
1768s	bearclaw gaming they've you know they're
1770s	still in the same composition
1771s	essentially but they have the Arisa now
1773s	which is a little bit better at
1774s	controlling space in these tighter
1775s	angles than the sigma who would
1777s	definitely struggle against the
1778s	Reinhardt but in this kind of 1 V one
1780s	this is where Kindred thrives it's going
1782s	to be so difficult for Garchomp to find
1783s	any purchase here but with that wall
1784s	section and Kindred off they might have
1786s	just found something oh that immortality
1788s	from zepa bought Kindred a lot of time
1790s	eventually got booed out of it and
1792s	trainers you thought they were safe
1795s	20% I was just saying how they might
1797s	have won the first fight of Oasis but
1799s	bearclaw gaming because they didn't die
1802s	drainers well the re-engage happened too
1804s	soon and drainers lost too many people
1807s	K's actually going to make a swap over
1808s	onto the zarya so we're seeing a little
1809s	bit of tank rock paper scissors here is
1811s	yeah the sigma didn't work now guard
1813s	Chomps on the Arisa the Rind didn't work
1815s	so now kendri is on the zarya we'll have
1817s	to see if they're able to build up to
1818s	anything our drainers but I mean they
1820s	have to try and leverage this window
1821s	from Zep turn but the one from shush is
1823s	going to come out quicker oh the
1825s	immortality from Zep might buy them a
1826s	lot of value extra time to use that a
1829s	matrix and look at the flanks from
1830s	drainers bearclaw that have no place to
1833s	run they have to take this fight kqa
1835s	knows this CLS the down barrier and what
1838s	a turn around Guard Shop with the
1840s	terrrace surge might have even things up
1842s	in the fight that was I've never seen
1845s	that like on a broadcast before that's a
1846s	Terra surge to pull two members off of
1849s	the point and it was an incredible play
1852s	one of my favorite moments of all time
1854s	but uh it didn't really work out in the
1856s	end actually drainer still managed to
1857s	flip the point still had Kindred alive
1859s	to melt down the last M uh last
1861s	remaining members of be clock gaming and
1863s	yeah trainers are getting themselves
1865s	back on the board this early artillery
1866s	strike to try and slow bearclaw's
1868s	re-engage oh you do not want to be in a
1871s	corner like that KJ trap D Dynamic you
1875s	got this 5v4 for drainers and you got to
1877s	grab you don't invest anything but be
1880s	call also overstate their welcome it
1882s	will be drainers taking that lead and
1884s	okay Kindred gets out easily and able to
1887s	keep that charge is important but
1888s	trainers also bought themselves more
1890s	time that wall I may a little bit scary
1892s	but you know there had already been too
1893s	many bodies that hit the floor for
1895s	Kindra to even really be all that afraid
1897s	of it and why would you be afraid when
1898s	you still have your sound bear you still
1900s	have your graviton surge you have
1901s	everything you need to counter what bear
1903s	claw gaming coming at you with you just
1905s	have to execute here all right the Uno
1907s	reverse card there by
1909s	Bion going to force out some cool Downs
1912s	maybe some initial bubbles there by
1913s	Kindred Dynamic places the blizzard no
1916s	Kindred gets fed out want to play from
1918s	wika and then anwers right back to that
1920s	may of dynamic that was advancing to
1922s	play off of that blizzard and no you're
1924s	not going anywhere kred places the grab
1927s	and is hunting for more tro is going to
1930s	even throw the sound barrier on top cuz
1932s	this is all she wrote 93% plus it'll be
1935s	up to kqa to touch I mean it seems
1938s	pretty much academic at this point yeah
1940s	kqa is going to get the touch but is
1941s	going to get the mega Health back
1943s	actually I was going to say it's going
1944s	to get melted down but there is no
1945s	second touch so as great as touch was
1948s	from kqa it doesn't really amount to all
1951s	that much and that fight I'm so glad
1953s	that you called out that wi was able to
1954s	save Kindred not with a sound barrier
1956s	but with a speed boost to just get her
1958s	out of the blizzard which just means
1960s	that she still has the sound barrier to
1962s	go aggressive and clean up the tail end
1963s	of that fight it's it just feels like
1965s	even if drainers had somehow lost that
1968s	fight or if bearclaw gaming somehow had
1970s	enough time for another fight that still
1972s	having that sound barrier available
1973s	means that drainers they won this more
1975s	than just like they they it should have
1977s	been 100 to zero bearclaw gaming should
1979s	have lost their percentage with how
1980s	decisive that was and now we go to the
1983s	true decider map which is going to be
1985s	Gardens which is actually interesting
1987s	because I personally feel like the map
1989s	geometry kind of favors both of these
1991s	comps we could see a situation like
1993s	University or city center depending on
1995s	who gets control of The High Ground
1998s	first and with the a of the symmetra TP
1999s	it might just be drainers yeah trainers
2002s	will have that favorable position first
2004s	and having that Lucio wika be on top of
2006s	that wall too like bearclaw don't even
2008s	want to chance it just getting separated
2010s	or potentially just killed by the
2011s	environment is tough the symmet also
2014s	allows an entry option an engage option
2016s	if they ever do want to drop down which
2018s	would not be the smartest of ideas but
2020s	Kindred knows that well they can't
2022s	really contribute to this fight unless
2023s	they play close and maybe identifying
2026s	that Kindred is close enough bearclaw
2028s	want to deal with that Reinhardt but
2030s	there is so much armor but now that
2031s	kindred's in that bad position the
2033s	immortality is dropped by death and just
2035s	enough healing to keep kindred standing
2037s	and holding that choke and Garo got a
2040s	little greedy for that kill and will
2042s	drop bearclaw don't have a tank and will
2044s	not have a fight the positioning from
2046s	drainers is just so great there because
2048s	they counteract bearclaw Gaming's entire
2050s	composition just by having Kindred
2051s	sitting up there around that corner
2054s	trying to bait Bion and Garchomp to
2056s	overc commit to try and get her down but
2058s	it just doesn't happen because there's
2059s	too much High ground pressure the
2061s	immortality fields from Zep turn have
2062s	been on point and bearclaw gaming cannot
2065s	safely poke their heads in but they're
2066s	going to do a little bit more than
2067s	poking with this ant Matrix this ant
2069s	Matrix plus the wall Kindred got sped
2071s	out around the pillar to Kindred lives
2074s	all things to their supports but
2077s	Garchomp just isn't able to take that
2080s	pressure that the Reinhardt can the
2081s	shield The Matrix more in kindrid is an
2084s	Unstoppable Force to get these moving
2086s	objects bearclaw running for the hills
2089s	and it's like I said with the sigma
2090s	composition that choke is not where you
2091s	want to be as the sigma you want to be
2093s	in control of the point on The High
2095s	Ground so you can poke from afar but
2097s	yeah drainers they just continually bait
2098s	bearclaw gaming in bearclaw take the
2100s	bait and they fall every time now they
2103s	have to make the swap over onto the
2104s	Arisa just to try and make something
2106s	happen but Kindred might just have a
2108s	shatter with Garchomp's name on it oh
2110s	you got a front face that wall had it
2113s	coming I swear bit of a weird side step
2116s	there by Kindred but the fortify was
2118s	going to be tough to go up against
2119s	anyway including the ice block from
2121s	Dynamic this Bastion from KJ needs some
2124s	help good step up there by KR the
2126s	Bastion of Fire on sprays PRS on top of
2129s	drainers who have not been even scared
2131s	enough to use the sound air that is
2133s	amazing patience from drainers I mean it
2136s	is amazing patience and they still have
2138s	that sound barrier on the board for this
2140s	blizzard that Dynamic is going to have
2141s	to invest here it does come out and
2143s	Kindred Falls with the sound barrier is
2144s	a little late ah yeah if you know that
2147s	blizzard is coming you almost want to
2148s	take that early engage into sound
2150s	barrier early if you're wicker cuz
2152s	Kindred evaporated you don't need a size
2155s	and green to see what happen to them
2157s	them now goes to the zarya and bear
2159s	cloth are back on the point but 97% is
2162s	quite a hill decline that that zarya to
2164s	me kind of feels like a rage swap like
2166s	and I just lost my shatter I just lost
2168s	my sim too kqa is going to go and take
2170s	that away that's a really late stagger
2171s	by the way but I like kindred's Rin play
2174s	the fundamentals have been phenomenal
2176s	but the shatters have been to be polite
2179s	a bit tragic at times very unfortunate
2182s	with the some of the wall placement from
2184s	a lot of the Maze and I guess the
2186s	developers when they bu the map so you
2188s	know swapping over the zarya especially
2189s	to counter the Arisa that tank rock
2192s	paper scissors it still makes sense but
2194s	with bearclaw having control of The High
2195s	Ground and Bion up here raining out all
2197s	of this damage it's going to be so hard
2198s	to crack even with the zarya yeah the
2200s	zarya is just going to melt through this
2202s	uh Arisa if they can build up charge
2204s	towards it remember the symmetra can be
2206s	a way to enter but the ant Matrix I
2209s	think he best stepped up a little too
2211s	far and should have really relied on the
2214s	Poke to maybe win them some an ADV adage
2217s	but hey they got a few PS but they
2219s	stepped right into the Terrace surge
2220s	that put a huge deaded to drainers but
2222s	Kindred has been growing in power and
2225s	the bubbles beautifully placed on to KJ
2227s	to assist an entry and they take that
2229s	back from bearclaw with still ults
2232s	remaining 99% who will be there to touch
2234s	not kqa not nobody map one goes to
2238s	trainers and again it's just like I was
2241s	saying that very aggressive iny yourface
2243s	style that we've seen time and time
2244s	again from drainers the zarya is a new
2246s	luck a new look and one that I think is
2248s	coming out mostly from necessity because
2251s	of Garchomp's Arisa that teror surge
2253s	specifically this teror surge right here
2256s	was absolutely bananas I've never seen
2258s	that before in a live broadcast kqa even
2260s	with a nice little Boop there on zpp
2262s	turn to be the the icing on the cake
2264s	there that was glorious it was beautiful
2267s	but it didn't net bearclaw gaming the
2269s	win there thank you for garch for
2270s	putting on a show but we're going to
2272s	have to put some wins on the board next
2274s	time but with their map pick they can go
2276s	somewhere a little bit less drainers
2278s	favored where they can't play that
2280s	aggressive in-your-face Smashmouth style
2282s	where they just chip you down they just
2283s	burn you down or in the case of gardens
2286s	force you to overcommit and take the
2288s	bait and punish it yeah Garchomp um I
2291s	think started off the series really this
2294s	map very well in the sigma good control
2297s	good patience on how to approach too but
2299s	then uh once bar uh sorry once Traer
2302s	stepped up and played a much quicker
2305s	more pressurized uh
2307s	really fights and composition that's
2309s	where Garchomp got a little overwhelmed
2311s	had to go to the orisa for a more anchor
2313s	style tank which really this series went
2316s	back and forth I'd like the zarya swaps
2319s	just the rock paper scissors uh mindset
2321s	of trainers to always swap just have to
2324s	be careful of how uh how greedy you want
2326s	to jump into these kills or how you want
2328s	to use these ultimates I was a fan of
2330s	Kindred and and pulling the trigger and
2333s	making these decisions evz just has to
2335s	be a little bit careful on the Metra
2337s	jumping ahead of the tank if there's one
2339s	thing Kindred is great at it's not earth
2341s	shatters unfortunately I I love her but
2344s	the like that shatter I can't like that
2346s	was I'm gonna I'm gonna say she was
2348s	booped I'll say that the Lucio got in
2350s	position and she got booped knocked over
2352s	to the side and that's what happened I'm
2353s	going to give her the benefit of the
2354s	doubt but pulling the trigger is
2356s	something that she is great at and you
2358s	can see from her damage it doesn't look
2360s	like a whole lot but that's because yeah
2362s	zero deaths as Zar just as zarya this is
2365s	just as zarya so there was definitely a
2368s	couple of deaths on the junker Queen on
2369s	City Center which I mean interesting
2372s	that the junker Queen was their choice
2373s	for City Center but regardless she's
2376s	great at making these aggressive
2377s	decisions going in super super
2378s	aggressive and having the team at her
2380s	back to throw in the immortality Fields
2382s	aggressively to throw in all the healing
2384s	and all the follow-up damage from the
2385s	Bastion from the sojourn from whatever
2386s	the DPS core is they're a very flexible
2389s	team our drainers and we're seeing that
2391s	in Spades right now so far is there
2393s	going to be an answer for bearclaw
2395s	gaming with that level of flexibility
2397s	and that level of preparedness how do
2398s	you slow the tempo and snatch control
2401s	away from drainers with your map pick
2403s	that'll be I think you answer that
2405s	question earlier of just you avoid the
2406s	rush maps and even though even when you
2409s	did go to rush points I think there are
2411s	so many ways to counter Rush that that's
2414s	why there's so little OverWatch League
2415s	teams that have really gone through with
2417s	it when we all thought this was going to
2419s	be a Reinhardt zarya meta that everyone
2421s	went away from that there is always a
2423s	way to counter rush and it's all about
2425s	um how close how close does the rush
2428s	stay together because we noticed a lot
2430s	with the junker Queen comps you would
2431s	have the queen that calls speed and goes
2433s	in and would be the only one there or
2435s	would think oh this person's one HP and
2437s	would step a little too far forward to
2439s	finish off that kill and find themselves
2441s	a between a May wall and a sigma in a
2443s	hard place so you just got to be
2445s	together as a team um which you know
2448s	there was sometimes where even evest on
2449s	the Genji was getting picked uh just
2451s	with the random May icicles so the the
2453s	picks on to drainers weren't helping
2456s	their Rush situation either well I me
2459s	yeah the rush situation is it's kind of
2461s	drainers whole stick like it's their
2463s	it's their it's their bread and butter
2465s	they're flexible but that is what they
2466s	want to play whatever the variation is
2468s	and if avoiding the rush map was the
2470s	assignment I don't think bearclaw gaming
2472s	did their homework because their map
2473s	pick is going to be Midtown which that
2475s	first point especially is uh is quite
2478s	Rush friendly especially if you're going
2480s	to have the Sim teleport get the
2481s	Reinhardt get the junker Queen around a
2483s	little bit quicker kind of you know make
2485s	your way through that choke a little bit
2486s	easier here second point is great for
2488s	the sigma play that I think be claw
2490s	gaming want to lean on but what is the
2492s	strategy here like what do you what do
2494s	you go for if you're trying to play into
2496s	drainers on Midtown well for Midtown
2499s	this is a very strong map for orisa and
2501s	sigma which has been gum's bread and
2503s	butter um it's just how are you going to
2506s	play the sigma and how are you going to
2508s	give up that space to the rush because
2510s	eventually I feel like drainers adapted
2512s	over and overcame that Sigma by just
2514s	running them down you cannot just shoot
2516s	shoot the sigma shield and play The
2519s	Shield break that's Sigma takes pressure
2521s	takes a lot of damage very well it's how
2524s	you can punish the sigma once maybe that
2526s	Shield does break or can you get past
2528s	that shield and that is incredibly
2530s	difficult to do on the Midtown uh
2532s	overpass going to the point so I'm
2534s	expecting either orisa or Sigma
2536s	depending on if Garchomp uh feels like
2539s	Sigma can sustain itself at the front I
2542s	think the second point that we just you
2544s	know hovered over there it is that's the
2545s	one this this this is kind of where I
2547s	think dark Chom wants to live try and
2549s	control the most space this little high
2550s	ground right here cuz this is where
2552s	Sigma absolutely shines I I do also kind
2554s	of want to go back to like why we're
2556s	seeing most of the sigma rush and I
2557s	think that has to do a lot with Bastion
2560s	specifically I it seems so simple to
2562s	think about but Sigma is not like
2564s	actually attached to his shield the way
2566s	that Reinhardt is so when Bastion melts
2567s	down your Shield suddenly there's like a
2569s	big German man behind it that's also
2571s	going to have to take a bunch of the
2572s	damage and if you're Reinhardt you don't
2574s	want that at all like that's that's
2576s	death that's all that is but if you're
2577s	Sigma there's a little bit of distance
2579s	there you also have the grasp you can
2580s	absorb a little bit of the damage back
2582s	yourself up recharge your Shield keep
2584s	the aggression up and control the angles
2586s	that's why I believe this comp has
2588s	started to come to fruition but drainers
2590s	despite Kindred being Adept on the sigma
2592s	as well they just want to be aggressive
2595s	that's the that's all they know it is
2597s	who they are they bleed
2599s	aggression and to quote hottie there
2601s	every map is a Reinhardt map which
2604s	Kindred is on that what's important
2607s	between the Reinhardt Sigma um matchup
2610s	is that Kindred can't just stay idle and
2612s	play like a sigma it has to be engage
2614s	heavy you have to swing at the sigma
2617s	push them away as much as possible with
2619s	the Bastion Garchomp has to play Corners
2621s	very intelligently or they will just
2623s	evaporate like they did before I I think
2625s	Kindred has that hotti quote tattooed on
2627s	her forearm specifically her Mouse
2629s	forearm so she can see it all the time
2631s	she ever gets demotivated she can just
2632s	look at her arm and say oh yeah it's a
2634s	Reinhardt map we've got this and they're
2636s	going to play Super aggressive just like
2637s	they've always been doing she took a
2638s	look at her forearm said yeah this is a
2640s	Reinhardt map we're going to go
2641s	aggressive we're not even going to let
2642s	bearclaw gaming get set up in the choke
2645s	beaw have more Pig potential with this
2647s	sojourn of I on too so drainers are have
2651s	to wait for that tank cool down there of
2653s	the Bastion Dynamic is going to get
2656s	around the defle right in the face of
2658s	that Bastion has to be careful and now
2660s	Dives to that you got to wait for the
2663s	immortality to be out because once
2664s	you're committed like that and you don't
2665s	have the dash re said you're a Sitting
2667s	Duck and also a dead duck at the end so
2670s	drainers will have their defense stand
2673s	tall and bear claw sent back it's a
2675s	little bit wild though cuz like for a
2677s	while the drainers looked a little bit
2678s	split like you can see Zep turn was
2680s	playing really far back KJ and Kindred
2682s	were in different zip coat I think that
2683s	might have been a little bit of bait and
2685s	I think Dynamic took the bait and got
2687s	snapped in the jaws of it it's it's a
2690s	trap it was a trap they fell for it and
2692s	now Kindred has the shatter zon's got
2694s	the window this is gonna definitely slow
2697s	down the pace for be claw gaming they
2699s	okay yeah there is no Pace it's can
2701s	slowed down even more a nice pick off
2703s	there from KJ and oh
2706s	shatter oh my God run run I I can I can
2710s	see the shatter I mean no she doesn't
2711s	need it she doesn't need it when you
2713s	have this level of aggression you don't
2714s	even need the shatter it's
2716s	cosmetic God I would be screaming in
2719s	cobs if I was be clocking this rer
2721s	ising past my tank like
2725s	that just
2727s	it's it's so hard to deal with and like
2729s	because of all the damage and all the
2730s	aggression drainers have all their
2731s	ultimates and this is going to get even
2733s	more and more difficult for bearclaw
2734s	gaming to crack through especially if
2735s	they keep bleeding players early you got
2737s	to stop it well this is exactly what we
2740s	wanted out of K don't play like a sck
2742s	but play like hottie would want you to
2745s	and it's w key press the mouse mouse
2749s	button hammer down bar claw gaming and
2751s	they still have a shot they still have
2753s	four ultim I mean yeah they do invest
2755s	the the window there from Zep turn and
2757s	all it really does is slow bearclaw down
2759s	a little bit more but they're running
2760s	out of time they're going to invest a
2761s	window of their own but kred wants to
2763s	charge just right through it okay the M
2765s	Matrix doesn't stop this bulldozer or
2767s	maybe they did trainer step back and
2770s	bear cloth made their way through the
2772s	choke they have left the defense behind
2774s	which I think Eves might have TP them
2775s	behind they will TP them back towards
2777s	the point and have denies that first
2780s	tick and two bodies on top of it one
2783s	shatter two supports and a sound Barry
2786s	on top for drainers just for that
2788s	insurance they deny the first pick okay
2792s	every bad shatter that Kindred has had
2793s	this tournament I think she just
2794s	redeemed with that charge into the
2796s	backline shatter onto both backliners
2798s	and then following it up with two more
2800s	that's a 4K for her what an insane play
2802s	that's just a like bearclaw gaming did
2804s	flip like kind of flip the roles a
2806s	little bit got themselves on the point
2808s	nearly C but drainers just issued them a
2809s	cease and assist and I mean they've used
2812s	all their SS to do it but be CLA gaming
2814s	they're still running out of time oion
2816s	putting the fear in their eyes but the
2818s	over claw connects with Zep goodbye to
2821s	your supports again drainers bearclaw
2824s	this had to be the fight you have 30
2826s	seconds and there's still so much more
2828s	Midtown to see yeah a lot more to see
2831s	and kred is going to want to see all of
2833s	it she's swapping to the doomfist is she
2835s	act there's no way she's actually going
2837s	for a contest here oh no I hear
2840s	it yes she's highw in trouble the St
2844s	barrier kqa saved her
2846s	be claw has still up to deal with this
2848s	doomfist but they're also split their
2851s	focus is also on the reinforcements and
2853s	Eves has killed Bion Ze is still guard
2856s	chop there's only two players left of
2858s	bearclaw and now nobody trainers the
2861s	retake to cause chaos in their favor
2864s	bearclaw will not be capping the point
2867s	that was I mean I I wasn't even sure
2869s	Kindra was going to be able to get the
2870s	touch there I thought the doomfist swap
2872s	came in too late but she gets the touch
2873s	baits out the sound barrier and by the
2875s	time the over heal is gone all the DPS
2877s	players from drainers whove also swapped
2879s	the fast Heroes they get on the point
2881s	and they just shut it down I that that
2883s	felt like bearclaw Gaming's fight to win
2885s	their point to win you said there was a
2887s	lot more Midtown to see Kindra didn't
2889s	want to let them see any of it no
2890s	sightseeing tour you're your bus stops
2892s	here get off no
2894s	tourists and I think there must have
2896s	been some kind of confusion in the calls
2897s	for bearclaw because when you see that
2899s	doomfist block instinctively you want to
2901s	not shoot it because then the stuns the
2903s	damage it's going to hurt a lot more but
2905s	then obviously some people thought that
2907s	doomfist is killable sometimes you can
2909s	shoot that block because what the
2911s	doomfist is still taking damage just not
2913s	as much so some bearclaw members were
2916s	shooting the doomfist some were shooting
2918s	at the healers behind them and we you
2920s	have a split Focus like that and the
2922s	doomfist gets their coold downs again
2924s	about the 5 six second Mark then the
2926s	doomfist can sustain and keep going and
2928s	bearclaw shouldn't have Panic should
2930s	have just taken it from front to back
2932s	deal with the doomfist and then drainers
2934s	wouldn't have had someone to push p in
2936s	without that doomfist it's that same
2939s	kind of mentality that like early
2940s	players would uh would take for zarya
2942s	when they see the bubble go up they're
2943s	like no don't shoot it you're just going
2945s	to charge her up what are you doing but
2946s	then they forget that like you know you
2948s	can put in enough damage to kill the
2950s	zarya if you just hard Focus her but I I
2953s	you know I digress Kindred what are you
2955s	doing what this is not in the script
2958s	okay what are what are you doing little
2962s	scouting uh yeah okay it's got to be
2964s	scouting all right it it has to be yeah
2967s	okay she's going to go on the zarya she
2968s	sees the Arisa from guard chomp and says
2970s	this is the answer it's what got us the
2972s	wins on Oasis this is how we're going to
2974s	proceed forward same Rush composition
2976s	but just winning that tank rock paper
2978s	scissors and an early TP rotate to take
2980s	the fight on their
2982s	terms yeah that's Z is going to laser
2985s	that Arisa down and gar chop not opting
2987s	for the sigma againsts that Bastion it's
2989s	difficult to play these Corners
2990s	sometimes you don't get enough support
2992s	you get overwhelmed and drers wanted to
2994s	engage off the TP maybe it was a f maybe
2996s	they got blown off to teleport either
2998s	way Kindred is isolated things that may
3000s	wall of dynamic and be claw gaming
3002s	trying to get through this and deal with
3004s	Kindred they have both tanks are removed
3007s	four versus four and again what do deal
3009s	with Kindred from drainers it's tough
3012s	for them to make any space and bearclaw
3015s	are learning from that mistake I mean KJ
3017s	can still make a fair bit of space with
3019s	all that damage and bearclaw gaming
3020s	can't really collapse on the rest of
3022s	drainers and speaking of drainers kred
3024s	is back on the doomfist again she's
3026s	going for the fast Heroes because she
3028s	thinks this is winnable oh the ice block
3030s	from Dynamic was slightly off the point
3032s	but they're Walling themselves off done
3034s	bearclaw gaming come around the corner
3036s	was not expecting the Bastion to unload
3039s	like that and trainers just need that 60
3042s	or that
3043s	82.6% and you're already waving goodbye
3046s	Dynamic is so close to Blizzard and will
3048s	not be able to get it off and here is
3051s	some tur or some bombs being thrown down
3054s	because the real bomb was drainers now
3057s	going to match point uh those weren't
3060s	bombs those were fireworks and
3061s	celebration of drainers pulling out a
3063s	miracle hold at the end there but what a
3066s	like it just feels so silly the way that
3068s	they captur the point there right like
3069s	they lose both tanks Kindred and garcha
3072s	both down but KJS is able to control
3074s	space with the Bastion nobody from
3076s	bearclaw can commit onto the Last
3078s	Remnant so Kindred just goes doomfist to
3080s	get back in the fight at roughly the
3082s	same time as Garchomp the damage from KJ
3084s	still comes down and Bar clock gaming
3086s	just never really felt like they were in
3089s	this map and that was their map pick and
3091s	it didn't work out like I said you know
3093s	you can't try and play against drainers
3095s	in a rush style map I would have liked
3097s	to see them go to maybe something like
3098s	numani as well where you can play them
3101s	you can play the rush but it's
3102s	suboptimal and you're more favored in
3104s	that Sigma mirror but Midtown was just
3107s	curious top to bottom curious how
3110s	drainers managed to hold how they
3111s	managed to cap and why we were even here
3114s	what are we doing here be
3116s	claw just the May of dynamic is from a
3120s	more slower Tempo I would say like they
3123s	really didn't have a chance to Mayall
3125s	something and really assure that kill
3127s	before the Mayall would get shot down
3130s	and then you would have this trade of
3132s	tank I think that may wall to isolate
3134s	kinderwood was fantastic but then when
3136s	you lost Garchomp who just had to full
3139s	commit for that kill then bearclaw
3141s	didn't have much to contest the point
3143s	with at the end you had Dynamic who made
3145s	missed ice block on the point and then
3148s	it was tough um I think they needed to
3151s	match fire with fire having their own
3153s	Bastion I think was a good idea from
3154s	Bion uh Bion but not having anything
3157s	else like another source of damage maze
3160s	just not enough this I mean So speaking
3163s	of damage let have a look at the damage
3165s	that from KJ there that doesn't look
3166s	like a lot but consider how fast this
3168s	map was and how swiftly everything in
3171s	front of her died and suddenly it all
3173s	starts to make sense only one death for
3175s	KJ and I think that might have been on
3177s	Diner's defense while everybody was you
3180s	know scrambling switching to fast Heroes
3182s	and trying to get back that might have
3184s	been what the what led to that one death
3187s	in particular but outside of that she
3189s	was untouched and was putting out a
3191s	whole lot of hurt onto the entirety of
3193s	bearclaw gaming which is interesting
3195s	because like I said drainers like to go
3198s	for this Rush style but also with the
3200s	pick heavy Heroes with the soj with the
3201s	Ekko with you know all these other
3203s	Heroes that are not May Bastion but they
3205s	can play May Bastion they can play Sim
3207s	Bastion they can control space with them
3209s	as well and that helps feed into their
3211s	pure raw unbridled aggression that fair
3215s	clock gaming still don't really have an
3217s	answer for they tried something they
3219s	threw something at the wall to see if
3220s	Midtown would stick and it did not I was
3223s	a fan of just trainers seem to be really
3226s	well studied up on the game knowing what
3228s	their counters are around the arisara
3230s	bringing out the Reinhardt just to be
3231s	able to get back to the point sooner got
3234s	the SoJO for the pick potential that he
3235s	brought out and Garchomp is is trying to
3238s	figure out where their place is in the
3241s	fight in in the composition right just
3243s	going to either Sigma which gets run
3245s	over going to orisa which just gets
3248s	melted and if your tank is just going to
3250s	be taking that much damage but they are
3253s	buying you a lot of time then it's up to
3255s	the DPS behind Garchomp to to deliver
3258s	the kills that all the time is being
3260s	used for so I think it's it is such a
3262s	close tank match up but it's coming down
3264s	to the DPS is coming down to the ant
3267s	Matrix timings and and stuff like that
3269s	but this is still an exciting match
3271s	despite uh it being match point for
3272s	drainers well I mean this is where
3275s	bearclaw gaming thus far in the lower
3276s	bracket have thrived though they're
3278s	they're very much so a we only scrim the
3280s	second half of the series kind of team
3282s	it would seem with their history of
3284s	reverse sweeps here the unbridled
3286s	aggression from drainers doesn't stop
3288s	but it does take a couple of breaks here
3290s	and we're going to throw to a quick
3291s	break for a second be right back and
3293s	we'll have map three it's bearclaw
3294s	Gaming's map pick do they start the
3296s	reverse sweep we'll find
3308s	[Music]
3322s	[Music]
3324s	out

3523s	[Music]
3551s	does the Underdog Story of bear claw
3554s	gaming end here or does the reverse
3556s	sweep that they have uh pulled off time
3558s	and time again in the lower bracket
3560s	start here there is only one way to find
3562s	out welcome back it is time for map
3565s	three of drainers versus bearclaw gaming
3568s	bearclaw Gaming's map pick and they have
3570s	chosen to take us to
3571s	svasa oo is a pretty Rush heavy I mean
3575s	most push maps are but drainers being on
3578s	Match Point to be able to make a call
3581s	like retaking on Midtown to force
3585s	bearclaw to not even cap the point like
3587s	drainer is almost you could tell by the
3589s	way they play they know that they're the
3591s	better team nobody Rec contests at that
3594s	point with the Doom unless you're crazy
3596s	like trainers and the fact they pulled
3598s	it off is just so incredible to see we
3600s	go to surasa now a lot of teams um oh
3604s	sorry flasho right my brain has been on
3606s	holidays um there's just it there's a
3610s	lot of things I have to do with how
3611s	close your spawn is of course but how
3614s	quickly you can get to them this is
3615s	where junker Queen Lucio could be coming
3617s	back if they feel it's something they
3619s	could pull off which we haven't seen
3620s	since Oasis I do also feel like to your
3624s	point it also
3625s	has a lot to do with how quickly you can
3627s	retake which we've seen that drainers
3630s	can do quite well cuz they feel like
3632s	they're the better team I'm really glad
3633s	that you brought that up because that I
3635s	feel like with flasho is conducive to
3637s	success because it ticks up so fast that
3640s	percentage so if you lose the point you
3642s	only have a split second to try and get
3643s	back in there and win it all back and
3645s	that's something that trainers have
3646s	shown they're capable of doing if
3648s	they're even put in that situation it's
3650s	kind of up to bearclaw gaming to push
3652s	drainers put them behind the eightball
3654s	and make them have to make make those
3655s	moves and then execute on it that's the
3657s	hard part because drainers are Scrappy
3660s	they are aggressive and they want to
3661s	rely on simply being the better
3663s	mechanical players and it has worked out
3664s	for them thus far yes if if you do play
3667s	that junker Queen I know an important
3669s	hero to pair with that is the Genji
3672s	which we've seen more from Eves I want
3674s	to say on the trainer side of things
3676s	bearclaw have been kind of going
3677s	everywhere from May to a bit of sojourn
3681s	there from Bion to some Bastion of their
3683s	own bear Claus seem very fluid but what
3686s	can they be the masters of and I think
3689s	if you do go with the junker Queen
3690s	having a Genji is so important to give
3692s	that overheal over to that assassin to
3694s	go in and get that pick but most
3696s	importantly not commit to a Baptist if
3699s	they have immortality that was something
3701s	that our teams learn the hard way on
3703s	Midtown yeah that would uh that would be
3705s	dynamic poor fella poor uh poor they
3710s	trying to go on poor they trying to go
3713s	on a Baptist who still had immortality
3715s	field definitely a no no as far as Genji
3717s	Swift strike usage is concerned Dynamics
3721s	Genji has traditionally been pretty
3723s	solid overall though that felt like a
3724s	rare misstep and it might be just that
3726s	bearclaw gaming are feeling as though
3728s	they're under a lot of pressure right
3729s	now they're one map away from getting
3731s	eliminated from the tournament they've
3733s	had to fight for their lives throughout
3734s	the entire playoff bracket they feel
3738s	very much so like the underdog team they
3740s	have the potential to do great things
3742s	but they just have to close it out CHP
3745s	and dynamic are the two players on this
3746s	team that I want to focus on because if
3749s	anyone is going to do it for them it's
3751s	going to be that tank DPS Duo of guard
3755s	chomp and dynamic meanwhile drainers I
3757s	mean Kindred has just been in the driver
3758s	seat wiah has been putting her foot on
3761s	the gas to help everything move move
3764s	swiftly move as quickly break as many
3766s	things as possible and bearclaw gaming
3769s	they still are trying to find an answer
3770s	for
3771s	it I I feel like supports never get
3774s	enough love
3775s	in competitive play but wi and kqa have
3779s	had such impactful sound barriers just
3781s	reminiscing back to a wasis saving their
3784s	fight saving namely their tanks because
3786s	we've talked a lot about how it's been
3788s	the battle between Garchomp and Kindred
3791s	when it comes to tanks but yes maybe um
3795s	Kindred is swapping to things that is
3797s	that is uh countering Garchomp but
3799s	Garchomp is able to live that long
3802s	because of their supports as well so um
3805s	it's what now the DPS can deliver during
3807s	those moments that is really gonna stand
3809s	out and drainers just been having that
3811s	edge in the later stages of the fight
3814s	now you got two speed options you got a
3816s	symmetra there from Eves I'm expecting
3818s	drainers to be in position first thank
3821s	you for the pause by the way uh players
3823s	so we can actually take a moment to
3824s	appreciate the supports and give them
3826s	the love that you uh you felt that they
3827s	never quite get but we got to give a
3829s	little bit of love to IES with that Sim
3830s	TP that's already going to set drainers
3832s	up quite nicely but air CLA gaming
3835s	actually meeting them at the pass here
3837s	it's going to have to come down to which
3839s	Bastion ends up putting out the most
3840s	damage first and which tank is forced to
3842s	back off but wants to try and take The
3844s	High
3845s	Ground that was uh interesting for the
3847s	Bastion to go up there too when Bion is
3850s	just taking bright clicks there from
3852s	evest drainers are taking angles around
3854s	this bearclaw are so low and kqa wanted
3857s	to stay involved in that fight help
3859s	guide Bion back in and man trainers are
3863s	just all surrounding them and Bar decide
3865s	to step up and push into that tank of
3866s	Kindred while they well weren't getting
3869s	assisted as much so barlar able to get
3871s	some traits to at least being decisive
3874s	enough to push forward and trainers
3876s	taking these weaker angles all around me
3878s	they didn't have a strong side to hold
3880s	on to yeah I meanes was kind of wreaking
3883s	havoc there on the Sim being a little
3884s	bit annoying but bearclaw gaming with
3886s	the tried and true tactic of if
3888s	someone's being annoying just ignore
3889s	them they instead just charge forward
3892s	utilize the Bastion get the early
3893s	pickoffs and just melt down the rest of
3895s	drainers and now bearclaw gaming are in
3898s	a great position they are in a
3900s	defensible position they've got the
3901s	Arisa Kindred has made the swap back
3902s	over onto the zarya with that an Matrix
3904s	she can't stick
3906s	around Kindred has no fear just staring
3909s	down that amp Matrix bubbles up jumps
3913s	behind reers who or jumps behind
3915s	bearclaw who decide to just leave the
3917s	party now it's a free cap for drainers
3920s	but kqa is not going to let this go for
3922s	free they speed the team in gar chop
3925s	with the teror surge the sound bear from
3927s	wi saves Kindred allows them to leave
3929s	the fight but now trainers are so split
3931s	from each other bear CLA will easily
3933s	retake the point thanks to this giant
3934s	anchor of Arista with his immortality in
3937s	the way though it's been a little bit
3938s	difficult to kill these members Garchomp
3940s	just causing chaos hoping someone will
3942s	kill the immortality and that is what
3945s	kept the drainers alive for so long so
3947s	again big shout out to Zep there yeah
3950s	huge shout outs to Zep for keeping
3951s	Kindred alive also shout out to AES for
3953s	that Photon barrier that came came
3954s	through at the last possible second I
3956s	think that might have even been from
3958s	Spawn before they were actually back in
3959s	the fight and we got to go back to
3961s	Kindred right as I was saying oh the ant
3963s	Matrix comes out she doesn't want to
3964s	stick around no she just goes around use
3966s	a nice little uh zarya jump there with
3968s	the right click to get up behind the ant
3970s	Matrix pump out all the damage and just
3972s	throw bearclaw Gaming's whole plan into
3974s	disarray and now drainers have the
3977s	defensible position they've nearly CA
3979s	the point bearclaw have to come correct
3981s	this
3982s	fight oh that that bashal actually
3985s	forced the jump out of KJ on the sojourn
3987s	and Kindred got wall doesn't doesn't
3989s	really care throws the graviton down and
3992s	bearclaw still managed to fight back
3995s	despite being trapped but Kindred is so
3997s	charged up bearclaw I'm surprised
3999s	they've lived ignoring them for this
4001s	entire time now Bion is barely being
4004s	protected kred steps up and what a body
4007s	block from Garo Bion lives okay that was
4010s	a nice little comedic angle there 15 HP
4013s	for Bion can in wanted that Bastion dead
4015s	so bad and as a as someone who's delved
4018s	into tank play a little bit recently
4020s	relatable I too want that guy dead every
4022s	time I see him G Cho also going to get a
4024s	little bit too low there
4026s	though this is such this is the last
4029s	fight and bearclaw at 99 and trainers
4031s	have a Lucio harassing them behind are
4034s	they going to commit ultimates it's the
4035s	ant Matrix from Ze versus the one from
4037s	shush and bearclaw are just stuck in the
4040s	middle of all this pain and trainers are
4042s	retaking it's the Emer doomfist that
4045s	came back but Bion with the double kill
4047s	gives them a chance at life but evest
4049s	shuts that down also two or three kills
4052s	coming out of Zep saves that point for
4054s	drainers yeah that was that was Zep
4056s	turn's point I mean you had all the hero
4057s	swaps coming out from drainers and all
4059s	the recontest even Kindred coming back
4061s	on the doomfist but it was Zep turn that
4063s	was the rock on that point that whole
4064s	time pumping out the healing keeping
4066s	everybody alive but more importantly
4068s	pumping out the damage dishing out the
4070s	death and stopping bear claw gaming in
4072s	their little bear tracks and now those
4074s	tracks got to lead to the second Point
4076s	drainers go up taking the first one and
4079s	they've already got favorable position
4080s	on the next
4082s	one all right Kindred holding the choke
4086s	there see drainers have a sound if they
4089s	want to take an early fight they want to
4090s	also hold this for the gravitic flux and
4093s	G Chom hasn't Unleashed it yet seeing
4096s	what they can find off of the just the
4097s	engage and now the gravitic flux comes
4100s	out focused on that tank but Kindred is
4102s	saved once again by Zepp in that
4103s	immortal field but Kindred is so low and
4106s	bearclaw are just trying to poke their
4108s	way in but now allowing too much time
4110s	for drainers to heal back up and unleash
4113s	with an ultimate of their own he best
4114s	with two in the back for third and
4117s	drainers dominate the first fight I they
4120s	just understand completely all of their
4122s	win conditions at any given moment they
4124s	pop the sound barrier go aggressive get
4125s	the early pick off onto Bion the
4127s	gravitic flux comes out from Garchomp
4130s	that's when the immortality field is
4131s	used from Zep turn and when all of the
4133s	resources from bear clog gaming have
4134s	been used up that's when youest goes in
4136s	with a dragon blade that is clinical
4138s	surgical OverWatch and as Scrappy as it
4140s	looks from drainers there's a method to
4142s	the madness and they execute it
4144s	perfectly but Kindred might be getting
4146s	executed next yeah IDE the prary first
4149s	cute the maybe allows Kindred to not
4152s	that's five players on one you know more
4155s	kills with or more damage will come out
4157s	with the ICL as well but Bion is always
4158s	someone you could depend on oh my God we
4160s	just saw that maze eye shut with that
4163s	Genji diving in it's 92% plus you might
4165s	see bearclaw's eyes shutting soon cuz
4167s	that'll be round Point match point for
4169s	ders and be claw is still trying to
4171s	contest it's gar Cho and kqa and all the
4175s	backand of the law from KJ coming in
4179s	this has been their point all along I I
4182s	told the audience like when we started
4183s	like please keep your eyes on Kindred I
4185s	want to tell speak directly to bearclaw
4187s	gaming please take your eyes off of
4189s	Kindred now because there's still four
4191s	other threats that you need to be wary
4192s	of they go super aggressive aggressive I
4194s	call out like a five person assist onto
4197s	just that one kill for Kindred but then
4198s	you got IES and KJ at your backs pumping
4201s	in damage and getting all of these picks
4203s	and bearclaw gaming you look at their
4204s	ults yeah they got a lot of them but
4206s	they weren't given a chance to use them
4208s	because they were too hyperfocused on
4210s	just trying to take down the junker
4211s	Queen you can't to throw in the queen
4213s	and not expect the followers to rise
4215s	back up at least we can expect be claw
4217s	gaming to be comfortable they had closer
4221s	spawns and how will they cap it's a few
4223s	more seconds you see gar has the shield
4225s	up and here is the Rampage right in gets
4228s	three of bearclaw and now they place the
4230s	blizzard to stop the follow up from
4231s	drainers and Bion shooting heads great
4235s	overclock that's a great first pick but
4238s	now as the dietle bear clock gaming
4240s	survived the Rampage while drainers
4242s	didn't have a take they got split from
4244s	each other but wait drainers as they got
4246s	pushed into KJ gets enabled for success
4250s	I was going to say for drainers that
4251s	engagement was just pure stonks you
4253s	invest the the uh you invest the Rampage
4255s	and you get out the overclock the sound
4257s	barrier and the blizzard even if drers
4259s	had lost that fight that still would
4261s	have been a dub but they somehow flip it
4263s	at the tail end of it and now not only
4265s	is it stonks not only have you bled out
4267s	bearclaw Gaming's old economy you now
4269s	have control of the point and once again
4271s	bearclaw gaming are having having to
4273s	make swaps to try and just find a way in
4275s	find a way to sit comfortably drainers
4278s	refuse to let them sit comfortably for
4279s	even a moment they're back on the sigma
4281s	now G Chomp has the gratic flux what are
4283s	they going to do with it it looks like
4285s	they want Kindred dead okay well at
4287s	least the May wall guarantees that
4288s	Kindred is going to take some Firepower
4290s	from the critic flux but they still live
4293s	sound from wika allows trainers to
4295s	engage in overwhelming to bearclaw once
4298s	again who want bearclaw want that slow
4300s	Temple off of the May and trainers are
4303s	so fast they will not let bearclaw
4305s	breathe I mean bearclaw I mean right now
4307s	they just feel out class and this is
4308s	panic swap mode a Reinhardt am Moira a
4311s	Reaper I I'm not even sure what their wi
4313s	condition is anymore I think they just
4315s	want to get to the point fast pump out
4316s	as much damage as possible but with only
4318s	95% or sorry only 5% left at 95 in
4321s	ticking are they even going to touch kqa
4323s	tries to sneak in the back door and
4324s	can't get there in
4326s	time that is it trainers are going to
4329s	your lower bracket final with a sweep
4333s	against bearclaw gaming and a sweep on
4336s	surasa on bear claw Gaming's map pick
4340s	andz came alive this map the three a
4344s	blade we've been seeing them get stopped
4346s	by immortali stopped by random icicles
4349s	and they got their revenge in the end I
4353s	like I said I mean bearclaw gaming just
4355s	overall feel outclassed on a mechanical
4357s	level and on a fundamental level by
4359s	drainers this is why I've been touting
4361s	drainers as one of the potential
4362s	favorites that top three that Triad of
4365s	Washington Timeless Valiant Guardians
4367s	and drainers and that's what our Podium
4369s	is going to look like in any particular
4371s	order that's our top three there claw
4374s	gaming had a chance to crack into it but
4375s	they weren't able to crack through
4377s	drainers who swept them in the early
4379s	Playoff round swept them in Swiss and
4381s	are going to sweep them again here a
4384s	quick 3 0 and it honestly outside of
4387s	Oasis City Center never really felt like
4390s	it was in bearclaw Gaming's favor
4391s	drainers were always two steps ahead and
4394s	changing the questions every time
4396s	bearclaw gaming even came close to
4398s	finding an answer yeah we said drainers
4401s	had just really great counter swaps but
4403s	also Al played a bit closer to the meta
4405s	they had multiple wi conditions off of
4407s	really just KJ and the neutral being
4409s	able to get picks which they have
4410s	multiple times to evest forcing out
4412s	either cooldowns with the blades or just
4414s	their presence like even if you die to
4416s	the immortality you still get the
4418s	immortality out and then once IES had
4421s	those coold Downs out of the picture
4422s	that's when you saw her just unleash
4425s	bearclaw just could not stop them you
4427s	had shush and kqa try their best with
4430s	the sound Bears try to swap the healers
4432s	that would live through the fight longer
4434s	but at the end the May was just not
4437s	enough of a wind condition for bearclaw
4439s	to isolate that tank and really even the
4442s	blizzard stopped anyone when you could
4443s	just go and speed around it and they
4446s	were trying so hard to isolate that tank
4448s	from top to bottom like even in the
4449s	closing moments of that fight you saw
4451s	the gravitic flux come out like you said
4452s	trying to isolate Kindra but while she's
4454s	up in the sky nobody was looking at KJ
4457s	and KJ just bion's head off with a rail
4458s	shot and suddenly you know you're
4460s	investing ultimates and trainers just
4462s	took out your DPS for free what do you
4464s	even do you're already behind the
4465s	eightball there it's like I said
4468s	drainers just feel two steps ahead at
4470s	all time and they have stepped up they
4472s	are now going on to our next round to
4474s	face off against Valiant Guardians for
4476s	the opportunity to face off against
4479s	Washington Timeless in the grand finals
4481s	the road doesn't get any easier from
4484s	here but we do have one quick little
4486s	rest stop and that is an interview with
4488s	Krick we're going to throw to a quick
4489s	break and we will be right back with her
4491s	don't go
4492s	anywhere

4735s	[Music]
4751s	welcome back everybody it has been sheer
4754s	unbridled aggression and dominance
4756s	coming out from drainers especially in
4758s	this series and at the Forefront of it
4760s	has been Kindred the tank for drainers
4763s	we've got her here for an interview
4765s	welcome Kindred I have to say right off
4767s	the bat uh your V2 model is about as
4770s	well endowed as your tank ability is
4771s	there a tank that you can't
4774s	play uh probably the wreck and ball I'm
4776s	not playing that character ever and
4778s	you'll never see me play that character
4780s	unless I'm rolling out looking at their
4782s	account a little bit of scouting we saw
4784s	that we saw that
4785s	yeah that it it's been great to watch
4788s	you play uh just the tank matchup was
4791s	really interesting um bring us to your
4793s	mindset of going up against Garchomp
4795s	kind of what led to your swaps and how
4797s	did your team coordinate around
4799s	countering uh we recently won uh another
4802s	marginalized tournament and in that
4804s	tournament it was the same patch and I
4805s	kind of learned how to play The Meta
4808s	during that with my team and my team
4809s	also knows how I like to play and like I
4811s	talk a lot with my team about what I
4813s	want to do outside of the game and uh I
4816s	just see triggers and I I I monkey see
4819s	monkey do kind of thing I see Arisa I go
4823s	go zarya I see Sigma I go Reinhardt it's
4827s	just I'm I'm playing the counter swap
4830s	game but you know I'm playing Reinhard
4831s	so it's a little more
4832s	Bas a little a little bit more based I'm
4835s	glad you bring up that tournament that
4836s	you uh that you won by the way that uh
4838s	kunoichi K fuffle where you're selling
4840s	yourself short because you really won
4841s	two tournaments in one day you won the
4843s	EU and na brackets which is absolutely
4846s	insane and why we're considering
4847s	drainers to be one of the favorites and
4849s	you know you've manifested that you're
4851s	now in the top three but if you want to
4853s	take this Championship you have to go
4855s	through Valiant Guardians to get to
4857s	Washington Timeless you've already
4859s	beaten Valiant Guardians once can you do
4861s	it
4862s	again yeah I miss I miss all my old
4865s	teammates some of them are Valiant
4866s	Guardians so I'd like to beat them in
4869s	the in a Callo Heroes tournament
4870s	especially after uh not really being
4873s	with nixel anymore I kind of forgot that
4875s	this is like our second tournament like
4876s	or my second tournament not on dixel so
4879s	it'll be pretty good to get a nice feel
4881s	without or get a nice tournament placing
4883s	without uh you know all my puzzle
4887s	pieces yeah it I'm so excited for that
4890s	match and um one thing I wanted to point
4893s	out is you guys ran a lot of symmetra
4895s	today with Eves so were there any CH or
4898s	what were the challenges or how did you
4900s	communicate around teleporting with the
4902s	symmetra uh yis and KJ actually an hour
4905s	before our warmup where V viewing a lot
4909s	and we talked about it last night we
4910s	since we lost the timelist so ruthlessly
4913s	we are going to try a lot of different
4915s	stuff uh if we make the grand finals
4917s	it's going to be a very interesting
4918s	Grand finals if we make it I'll just say
4920s	that for the least I picked up a lot of
4922s	plans and uh I'm I'm not even sure what
4925s	we're doing so how are they going to
4926s	predict what we're
4927s	doing that's the shest strategy like if
4929s	you don't know what you're going to do
4930s	how is your opponent ever going to know
4932s	what you're about to do well at this
4934s	rate what it seems like you're about to
4936s	do is run through Valiant Guardians to
4938s	go to the Grand finals and that's what I
4940s	kind of want to see I hope we get to see
4942s	that happen but but you know as you get
4944s	ready for that next match up I want to
4945s	give you one last chance to uh give any
4947s	sort of shout outs let everybody know
4949s	how you're feeling and what we can
4951s	expect from you shout out to coach L
4953s	fumi AKA restoration AKA my partner she
4957s	does a lot of coaching AKA she's not
4959s	even in the server and uh they uh they
4963s	also made our logo and my B model and
4966s	everything that I do is supported
4969s	heavily by aumi so that's the only
4972s	person I can really shout out and of
4974s	course my team because you know they're
4976s	my little puzzle pieces and we work
4977s	really well
4979s	together and is adorable thank you
4981s	Kindred so much it's always a pleasure
4983s	to have you on here you're always
4984s	winning games so I feel like we get to
4985s	do a lot of interviews with you and I
4987s	hope that that pattern does not change
4989s	as we prepare for our next game here
4992s	looking to the Past though a three 0
4994s	against be claw gaming and like like we
4997s	said it just feels like drainers have
4998s	been a step ahead of bearclaw gaming the
5001s	entire time bearclaw never really felt
5003s	like they were in this matchup outside
5005s	of Oasis City Center if you're Valiant
5008s	Guardians are you looking are you scared
5011s	are you scared lemon of what you just
5013s	saw from drainers oh I'm scared to be on
5016s	the other side the way y'all retook
5019s	Midtown was crazy uh thank you so much
5021s	for the interview there uh Kindred we'll
5023s	see you in the next match but the way
5026s	drainers would retake you never know
5027s	what to expect from them that what she
5029s	said was exactly right expect the
5031s	unexpected for them
5033s	well expect the unexpected and you never
5036s	saw this coming we're going to throw to
5037s	a quick break while we get our next
5038s	match set up you should have seen that
5040s	one coming but hey stick around we'll
5043s	have mat we'll have the next match ready
5045s	to go for you right after this

5350s	welcome back OverWatch Gamers this is
5353s	the second game of the day for the
5356s	calling all heroes rise together minor 3
5359s	hosted of course by Toronto defiant my
5362s	name is CV I'm joined by the lovely
5364s	lemon kiwi and we have a great game
5367s	lined up here for our lower finals yes
5371s	Valiant Guardians versus drainers
5373s	drainers are on that hot streak ever
5375s	since round one they've been taking dubs
5379s	and you you heard from Kindred earlier
5381s	she and the Gang sound very confident
5383s	about their next match but Valiant
5385s	Guardians has some players I've casted
5387s	before that are very scary yeah there's
5390s	a lot of star power on Valiant guard
5392s	Guardians a lot of big names that you're
5393s	going to recognize right away especially
5395s	if you're a uh a fan of contenders
5397s	OverWatch but speaking of contenders
5400s	there's a couple of them right here in
5401s	this lower finals and they have a date
5403s	with Destiny with Washington Timeless in
5406s	the grand finals there but there's only
5408s	room for one at the top and there's only
5410s	room for two to Vive for that spot who
5413s	is going to be facing Washington
5415s	Timeless interestingly as you can see
5417s	both of these teams were sent to the
5419s	lower bracket by Washington Timeless in
5422s	three fashion so the road just doesn't
5425s	get any easier for anyone involved yeah
5428s	at least Val and Guardians have the
5430s	better seed to get map one right so to
5434s	pick their map one so you obviously want
5436s	to counter what drainers have brought to
5438s	the table so far but then you saw how
5441s	Kindred can literally play any tank
5443s	except Hammond which doesn't tell you
5445s	exactly what map to go to against them
5447s	but seems like kred from the interview
5449s	is very calculated and knows exactly
5451s	what to swap to so so hopefully Valiant
5453s	Guardians are ready I mean maybe Valiant
5456s	Guardians you know pull out a wrecking
5457s	ball map I'm not sure which map from the
5459s	pool is the most conducive to wrecking
5461s	ball that wouldn't also very heavily
5463s	favor the drainers rush style that
5465s	Smashmouth in-your-face style that they
5466s	have trademarked throughout the entirety
5468s	of this tournament and like you said or
5470s	like Kindred said it's it's chaos how
5472s	can they predict what we're going to do
5473s	if we don't even know what we're going
5474s	to do Val and Guardians have to find an
5476s	answer but drainers haven't even given
5478s	them the question yet the last time
5480s	these two teams met drainers swept
5482s	Valiant Guardians so Guardians I mean
5485s	despite their their upswing going back
5487s	from being somewhat disappointing to
5489s	being again a potential favorite and
5491s	indeed a potential Grand finalist they
5493s	still have to try and find an answer and
5496s	there's some dangerous uh DPS players on
5499s	drainers I mean KJ was popping off on
5501s	the sojourn on surasa Eves with the
5504s	Genji also the symmetra of they want to
5506s	have this more brawl style and can be
5508s	enabl to do that we talked about Zep and
5510s	their impact on back Baptist and the
5513s	immortali that have saved Kindred so
5515s	many times so from what we've seen from
5517s	drainers they're very capable team that
5519s	are have the talent to go to Grand
5521s	finals but the Guardians The Gatekeepers
5524s	the Valiant Gatekeepers of that uh have
5527s	some serious fire power especially
5529s	moving fish is a tank that I've casted
5531s	before that it was incredible on Winston
5533s	during that meta here's their roster now
5536s	they're sporting the div is sure but
5538s	this is this is one of the more
5540s	experienced tanks here yeah yeah I mean
5542s	moving fish very storyed with red birds
5544s	Esports in both Collegiate and in
5546s	contenders has been a phenomenal player
5548s	and typically for that Squad was brought
5551s	out as their off tank but in the dive
5553s	meta that essentially means when we play
5555s	circuit Royale you play Sigma so
5558s	something of a sigma specialist but
5559s	they're also capable of playing any
5561s	other tank Under the Sun being in a
5564s	sigma favored meta you got to believe
5565s	that that's what Valiant Guardians are
5566s	going to want to lean more towards
5568s	especially with you know hkey and the
5571s	phenomenal may play play that we've seen
5572s	out of her time and time again whiffs on
5575s	the hit scan can easily slot into that
5577s	Bastion slot quite nicely it's got to be
5580s	what Valiant Guardians want to try and
5582s	play but we've also seen a couple other
5584s	interesting looks from this roster
5585s	throughout the duration of this
5586s	tournament so it's anyone's guess as to
5589s	whether or not they are going to have
5591s	the answer but they definitely have a
5593s	ton of tools in their toolbox to try
5595s	some things out and aramori is someone
5597s	who produces amazing content and she has
5601s	some serious Firepower I hope that she
5604s	pops off today they also have Coach Leb
5606s	which I didn't even know he was coaching
5609s	so shout out to Le and the experience
5611s	that he brings of course on the support
5613s	line of things probably all around is a
5615s	very experienced player in competitive
5617s	outside of this so we'll see if maybe
5620s	the Valiant uh Guardians have the the
5622s	game plan to go up against trainers I
5625s	mean again whatever that game plan might
5628s	be whatever the game even is because at
5630s	this point I'm not even sure if they
5631s	know because again drainers they don't
5633s	even know but we do know for sure what
5635s	drainers roster is going to look like no
5637s	swaps going to be coming out from them
5638s	the same starting roster and we also
5640s	know that we're going to kick things off
5641s	on Le Jang Tower again it's the same the
5645s	same lineup Kindred on the aggressive
5648s	tanks the Rind the junker Queens driving
5650s	the bo driving the bus driving the Pain
5652s	Train forward Zep turn and wiah keeping
5654s	her alive and KJ Andes thriving in all
5658s	of the chaos finding the picks that they
5659s	need to secure the dubs for drainers
5663s	it's so chaotic and so difficult to stop
5666s	on leang Tower there might be
5667s	opportunities for Valiant Guardians to
5669s	do that but what really is their modus
5672s	operandi here I'm wondering of course
5675s	Kindred goes to the rind on leang Tower
5678s	I think most of the time maybe you can
5679s	justify the Arisa it'll be matchup
5681s	dependent as she said in the interview
5683s	but is Eves want wanting to go on the
5685s	cetra there were times where they lost
5689s	some fights due to maybe miscoordination
5690s	or some one they're them not even being
5693s	being able to connect with the
5695s	teleporter to teleporting to the wrong
5696s	places to most of the time being able to
5699s	do well with that symmetra but then
5701s	symmetra is a super vulnerable character
5703s	can be weak to Genji can be weak to just
5705s	any assassin that gets on them so Eves
5708s	can be both a liability and both an
5710s	important winning condition for maneuver
5712s	and Kindred around the map so is the
5714s	symmetra coming into play or are we
5716s	seeing maybe more Bastion Genji or just
5718s	full damage when we go to night mark I
5722s	do want to also keep a very close eye on
5724s	the Valiant Guardians composition I
5727s	don't believe it was against drainers I
5728s	think it was against Washington Timeless
5730s	on the first day of Swiss that they
5732s	actually pulled out a doomfist pharmacy
5734s	composition and it did win them Night
5736s	Market it wasn't you know something that
5738s	they were able to run successfully on
5740s	Gardens or on uh control center so they
5743s	did have to kind of adapt and play into
5744s	Washington timeless' game a little bit
5746s	but that does show that they have that
5748s	tool in their toolbox again another
5749s	thing that moving fish can swap over to
5752s	is that doomfist and there is a ton of
5754s	flexibility in that DPS core there uh
5756s	we're still uh still waiting just a
5758s	little bit on the lobby here so we'll be
5760s	getting into the game shortly chat I
5762s	know you want to get into it but hey
5763s	we're buying you some more time to get
5764s	those skins you know you I I've seen so
5767s	many people that have been like please
5768s	just stay live for like four more
5769s	minutes I'm so close this is where this
5771s	is where you really pump up those
5773s	numbers here yes get your Contender
5775s	skins they're limited edition they look
5778s	cool and what's going to be cool is also
5780s	this lower bracket final the winner of
5783s	this gets top two goes to the Grand
5785s	Final and has a chance to try and
5788s	Dethrone that Washington team so we go
5792s	to leang Tower this is picked by Valiant
5795s	Guardians and that that's quite a choice
5798s	to make against a kind of a rush Master
5801s	team of
5803s	drainers we're going to be looking
5805s	heavily to night market and Gardens to
5807s	be what actually sets it apart control
5810s	center you got to believe like drainers
5812s	this is where they want to live this is
5813s	absolutely going to be their home but
5816s	how are night market and Gardens going
5818s	to favor drainers if at all do Valiant
5821s	Guardians have a plan for those submaps
5823s	in particular if they can take just
5825s	those two then really doesn't matter
5827s	what happens on control center yeah
5829s	defending with Rush is what's most
5830s	important just defending in general if
5832s	you can win the first fight the
5833s	percentage of you winning the map the
5836s	round uh skyrockets so that that's where
5838s	that symmetra of Eves is going to be
5840s	really critical
5842s	uh on a map like this uh not so much
5844s	there is just so much open area around
5846s	the point that teleporting first to
5848s	point is is mostly for maybe a control
5850s	center or a night market here on Gardens
5853s	you can even have some dive if you want
5855s	but both our teams seem to be hovering
5856s	over Rush yeah not even a a smidge of
5859s	dive to kick things off on gens both
5861s	teams like he said hovering over the
5863s	rush but the interesting thing to me is
5865s	that there're is no symmetra on the side
5866s	of Al there is now a symmetra I've just
5868s	been debated I thought HQ was going to
5870s	stick on that Genji which she has
5871s	actually at times been known for and
5873s	been quite good at but this is a little
5875s	bit more of a mirror matchup here just a
5877s	difference in tanks and we know how
5879s	Kindred likes to play her tanks
5881s	especially against the Nisa so maybe we
5883s	can even expect a zarya swap in the near
5885s	future oh Kindred has no fear just
5888s	stepping up no armor half broken shield
5890s	they don't want to let wisp get away
5893s	with murder but they already have
5895s	Kindred thought they could engage but
5897s	they were missing out on resources and
5899s	it's really not a bad idea to stay
5901s	patient and play your section of the
5903s	point like they were set up to do but
5905s	they stepped forward and just ate so
5907s	much damage from whis like I said
5910s	Kindred is always driving the bus for
5911s	drainers but her bus does not have a
5913s	rearview mirror at all she did not see
5915s	that there was not enough support behind
5917s	her and too much damage in front of her
5919s	for her to be able to back out safely on
5921s	the Reinhardt so she's going to go ahead
5923s	and use this opportunity to make that
5924s	swap just like I called out onto the
5926s	zarya and Hey look it's already paying
5928s	off and it helps to also counter Genji
5930s	you can't deflect zarya is damage so HQ
5932s	has to be even more careful and keep
5934s	track of that energy from Kindred cuz if
5937s	it's at zero also just throwing popcorns
5940s	at the other team but drainers seem to
5942s	be defending well and just slowly but
5943s	surely dwindling down moving fish who
5946s	can't take that fight against EV at
5948s	least not when they get charged up this
5950s	much so drainers are back in the driver
5952s	seam Kendra definitely not throwing
5954s	popcorn at the enemy team right now
5955s	popping them like popcorn along with the
5957s	beam damage coming up from IES who's
5959s	already nearing that Photon B barer Zep
5962s	turn has the amp Matrix and that's going
5964s	to be very difficult for valian
5966s	Guardians composition to try and play
5968s	into that's likely going to bait out
5969s	almost all the moving fish's cool downs
5971s	and suddenly they're going to be out
5973s	where you don't want to be looks like
5975s	they're actually just going to use the
5975s	amp mat to control the bridge and force
5977s	a rotation yeah the photon bear popped
5980s	from Eves they kind of panicked they saw
5982s	someone jump into the window towards the
5984s	point there Valiant Guardians maybe HQ
5986s	or something like that and trainers are
5989s	teleporting into them they are insane
5992s	Vali and Guardians have to use the sound
5994s	bear they feel too much they feel too
5996s	pressured and trainers are able to
5998s	escape through the bridge and Val and
5999s	Guardians have no punishing power it
6001s	seems drainers are still finding picks I
6005s	mean what a great teleport there for
6007s	Evas just you peppering in the damage on
6008s	the moving fish who has no idea that
6010s	they're just melting fully focused on
6012s	trying to put the damage out through the
6014s	window but didn't realize the call was
6015s	coming from inside the house and you you
6018s	know valant Guardians they have a nice
6019s	old combo with that artillery strike uh
6021s	and teror surge combination but you know
6023s	drers have all the tools they need to
6024s	counter it valy and Guardians if they
6026s	even want to try and get it off they
6028s	have to try and find a way in and
6029s	drainers are not keen to let them do
6032s	that yeah moving fish can't sustain
6034s	through this Spight and Kindred is very
6036s	charged grab at the ready Val and
6038s	Guardians don't have an answer to this
6041s	but they want to try and force this out
6043s	long range grab a throne and you've got
6046s	moving fish who tries to e all the
6048s	damage what an artillery strike from whz
6051s	but have traded right out we have a
6053s	three versus three drainers 94% and
6056s	growing Wick makes the call for the
6058s	sound bear moves to off the map Val and
6062s	Guardians lose round one that's such a
6065s	clutch play from Wicket to Zep turn was
6066s	out of the fight KJ and Kindred were
6068s	both low HP so wi says you know what I
6071s	got this babes pops the sound barrier
6073s	gives all that over Health to keep them
6075s	alive just long enough and then just
6077s	walks right through the window gets a 2K
6079s	with that Boop that is mAh picture P
6082s	Picture Perfect Lucio play that is
6084s	beautiful stuff that is why she and
6086s	Kindred have the accolades that's why
6088s	she is a former calling all heroes
6090s	Champion along with the nyxl academy
6093s	roster that's why she even was one of
6095s	the inaugural calling all heroes
6096s	champions in the first tournament that
6098s	we ran here she's a phenomenal Lucio
6100s	player and it shows especially when she
6102s	gets to play that hyper aggressive style
6104s	where she can get those big plays get
6106s	those big aggressive Lucio boops now
6109s	though having a look back over the other
6110s	side of the screen here's that
6112s	composition that I uh foreshadowed from
6114s	Valiant Guardians that doomfist Pharmacy
6116s	comp this will be able to trickle damage
6119s	around the point in terms of living and
6122s	holding the space this is difficult for
6123s	Valiant Guardians to do with this
6125s	composition it will all be around trying
6127s	to put damage into the point the for St
6130s	out and kred is pooped off by hkey still
6134s	a number Advantage for drainers who
6136s	continue to live on the point KJ needs
6140s	that bar to be a little bit more
6141s	committed before switching to that tank
6143s	configuration and trying to spray them
6144s	down but it's difficult with a mercy
6146s	pocket yeah the trouble is you're really
6148s	relying on the presence of moving fish
6150s	and the absence of IES all of a sudden
6152s	to try and find a way in with that
6154s	symmetra off the field it might be a
6155s	little bit easier to get your Sim and
6157s	your doomfist onto the point to contest
6159s	and for HP to find a little bit more
6161s	purchase with these Rockets oh there's
6163s	the purchase buying so much and you see
6165s	kred trying to protect their team that
6167s	was a well-placed matrix with the diva
6170s	and H is booping people off still moving
6173s	fish must have missed a punch or
6174s	something I have no idea but H ke is
6177s	removing people by force but drainers
6180s	still have so many people alive who is
6183s	going to be really there to contest if
6185s	your Valiant Guardians trainers are
6188s	running out of firep running out of
6190s	people and eventually B and Guardians
6191s	will flip and moving fish I mean did
6194s	slip off the point they return to the
6195s	ocean briefly but they are now back and
6197s	you got to believe the fight win is
6199s	coming in favor of I guardians but W is
6202s	still a ever looming threat with that
6204s	huge Boop there once she's dispatched it
6206s	is going to be Valiant Guardians finding
6208s	the flip but it's Scrappy it's bloody
6210s	it's not clean and that's the kind of
6212s	chaos that drainers continue to thrive
6214s	in and that chaos has gifted them a
6217s	sound barrier and an amp Matrix I'm not
6219s	quite sure how you use the amp Matrix
6220s	against the composition like Valiant
6222s	guardians but I'm sure that sound
6224s	barrier is going to come in clutch
6225s	especially with this pulse bomb and
6227s	potentially with this rocket barrage
6228s	coming online yeah the amrick would have
6230s	been better better to defend with not to
6232s	engage in Valiant can just simply leave
6235s	but drainer somehow made their way to
6236s	the point are going to be able to cap it
6238s	back use the an Matrix to just scare
6241s	Valiant into not having line of sight
6243s	with them but trainers are down evest KJ
6247s	is also translocating back Vali and have
6250s	made their move they've Ned moving fish
6252s	who's ready to go for environmental
6254s	kills for anyone who steps on these
6256s	Ledges Vali and guard Guardians have now
6259s	just divided drainer how are people
6262s	always falling off the map what's going
6263s	on here I I think drainers might have
6265s	left some banana peels near the edge
6266s	there and Valiant Guardians have not
6268s	been privy to that strategy is both
6270s	moving fish and whis has falling victim
6272s	to it but drainers they still look very
6275s	strong there there's a kill onto aest
6276s	but took out KIRO before they fell all
6280s	right I think it's a three versus two in
6281s	favor of Vali and Guardians and their
6284s	reinforcements are coming back that much
6286s	quicker Kindred might have contested
6288s	there for a while they have left the
6289s	scene so was wikas so Valiant will take
6292s	back the point it's still looking pretty
6295s	heavily favored for drainers though
6297s	they're going to have the EMP they're
6298s	going to have the duplicate Valiant
6300s	Guardians don't have an ult to their
6301s	name their stonks are looking quite low
6304s	at this point in time they're going to
6305s	have to rely on picks and you can see
6306s	that's why HQ wants to go hyper
6308s	aggressive right now they catch IES out
6310s	IES is forced to use the duplicate early
6313s	ohes trying to do the far better now
6317s	says okay I'm going to go towards the
6318s	objective help the team out gets gunned
6322s	down and so does moving fish you got a
6324s	five versus two Advantage for drainers
6327s	at 97 plus% it'll be up to whis to touch
6331s	and they've already been struck down so
6333s	there really is no recontest potential
6335s	for Valiant Guardians drainers will take
6337s	map one they have indeed been struck
6340s	down by the smooth criminals that are
6342s	drainers stealing this one away there's
6345s	so unpredictable they are so chaotic
6346s	like what is this team comp that I'm
6348s	looking at right now Diva with a Sombra
6351s	Echo and that just kind of works out it
6354s	it has no business working out it is
6356s	definitely not the meta but it's one of
6358s	those situations where you're going up
6359s	against a team that is not playing what
6361s	everyone else is practicing so you can't
6364s	practice against it if they don't know
6365s	what or if we don't know what we're
6366s	going to do you can't know what we're
6368s	going to do drainers they know what
6371s	they're doing they might not look it but
6372s	they definitely know what they are doing
6374s	here Val and Guardians went for the full
6377s	anti far comp with the diva Ekko and
6380s	more but they didn't really have a solid
6382s	hit scan to be able to take advantage of
6385s	the space that they could have had wisp
6388s	I mean also just it's tough to have an
6391s	impact on Tracer when a lot of the
6393s	characters you want to get close to are
6394s	just that dangerous so having to come up
6398s	with something that can counter drainers
6400s	when they seem to be more studed up on
6402s	the meta or what is good against them
6404s	and how to play against it drers are the
6407s	better team right now yeah I I don't
6409s	know if I would say they're studied up
6410s	on The Meta they're definitely studied
6412s	up on whatever the heck it is that they
6414s	want to play they've studied that book
6416s	they read it back front front cover to
6418s	cover left to right they can read it
6420s	backwards if they want to and Valley and
6422s	Guardians still have yet to even figure
6424s	out what language it's written in let
6425s	alone how to counter it how to stop it
6428s	okay wisps didn't fall off the edge
6430s	there I think pulse bomb themselves is
6433s	actually what happened there so didn't
6435s	fall victim to the banana peel fell
6437s	victim to something much much more
6439s	Sinister I was about to I didn't really
6441s	see any pulse bombs I'm try not to call
6443s	people out I I was wanting to see more
6446s	explosive power out of wisp but maybe
6449s	less explosive power out of wisps just
6451s	not at your own feet you know I
6453s	understand but
6455s	drainers they they're an exciting team
6457s	to watch they're an exciting team to
6460s	watch and it's also very exciting very
6462s	exhilarating to think about what the
6463s	other team has to be thinking right now
6465s	like how are the synapses in their
6466s	brains firing what connections are they
6468s	trying to make how are they going to
6470s	somehow retake their position in the
6472s	driver's seat because drainers have
6474s	completely taken us off the road we are
6476s	we don't know where we are we're
6477s	completely out in the drainer zone
6479s	wherever that may be Valiant Guardians
6481s	they need to get back on course if they
6483s	want to try and have that date with
6485s	Washington Timeless they need to try and
6487s	get back on course it's going to be
6489s	their map pick and the next stop on that
6491s	course is Midtown well trainers were
6495s	very successful at that last time so
6497s	much so that they pretty much full held
6499s	their opposition not allowing that full
6501s	point capture to go through and having
6503s	and being so confident on this map that
6505s	they would go for a retake with a
6507s	doomfist and actually Prevail at it so
6510s	got to watch out for Eves also on the
6512s	Genji I think now that they've kind of
6515s	warmed up they're they're one of the
6516s	most threatening DPS on the field
6519s	undoubtedly and I mean you we can go
6521s	back to to drainers and how dangerous
6523s	and how Scrappy they are as a team the
6525s	win condition I feel for Valiant
6527s	Guardians has to be trying to just take
6530s	control and be the ones that are setting
6532s	the tempo and not letting drainers play
6534s	whatever it is their game is it's a
6535s	childish game put your toys away stop it
6537s	we have to play this serious game right
6539s	now good old-fashioned clinical
6541s	OverWatch where they are in the driver's
6543s	seat are they going to be able to
6545s	execute that though cuz like you said
6547s	bearclaw gaming was not able to do so on
6549s	this map drainers were quite successful
6552s	on Midtown with that Miracle retake
6554s	again pulling the toys out dumping them
6556s	all over the floor so the parents step
6557s	on them and just a terrible time for
6560s	bearclaw gaming and have Valiant
6563s	Guardians set them up for that exact
6564s	same fate we'll never know or we will
6566s	actually quite shortly
6568s	know yeah moving fish do they go back to
6573s	sort of an orisa style it is one of the
6575s	just easier and more tankier tanks to
6578s	play in terms of holding space but
6580s	Kindred locking zarya IES sometimes
6583s	going symmetra just the double laser
6585s	comp is something that moving fish had a
6587s	lot of issues with and what kind of had
6591s	them such have such a hard time holding
6592s	any real estate at all and just
6594s	constantly having to maneuver around the
6596s	map is very difficult on trying to
6598s	discover what angles to retake on while
6600s	is of course defending with what
6602s	trainers were running was a lot easier
6604s	but we go to Midtown now with Valiant
6607s	Guardians attacking where moving fish on
6609s	the sigma this is a good call I'm
6611s	curious to see how the Ry defense plays
6613s	out for drainers cuz yeah this is
6615s	definitely what Kindred wants to play
6617s	right now they're playing the uh the
6618s	London Spitfire variant version of the
6620s	rush composition with the Reinhardt with
6622s	the SIM with the Bastion and it did it
6625s	did Fair quite well for London but it
6627s	requires a lot of synergy and it might
6629s	not look the most synergistic the way
6631s	that drainers play it's quite chaotic
6632s	but they are all on the same page they
6635s	do understand their win conditions when
6637s	to use their ultimates when to use their
6638s	abilities for maximum Effectiveness and
6641s	whether that be on an individual level
6642s	or a team level is kind of irrelevant
6644s	when you have to try and play into it
6646s	Valiant Guardians sticking with what
6648s	brought them to the dance and that's
6649s	that Sig meta
6651s	but trainers they were able to dominate
6653s	so many fights because of their ability
6655s	to not hesitate to W key in with Kindred
6659s	and look at them swing for the fences
6662s	Valiant Guardians just woke up and
6664s	they've already been put to bed yeah
6667s	nobody on Valley and Guardians was
6668s	looking at that window where KJ was
6670s	lurking courtesy of the Sim teleporter
6672s	and you know yeah ifest does fall the
6674s	health bars on draer is looking a little
6676s	anemic right now it might be an
6677s	opportunity for someone from Valen
6679s	Guardians to step up but who is there
6680s	there's nobody nobody can step up
6682s	drainers can just take a quick step back
6684s	give up a little bit of space that does
6686s	let Valiant Guardians get through the
6687s	choke essentially for free which is a
6689s	little bit more comfortable but they
6691s	still have to try and find purchase on
6692s	the point yeah this H ke May is playing
6695s	at an off angle and the first May wall
6697s	didn't really help moving fish taking a
6699s	lot of pressure but Diner's not
6701s	committing meaning Valiant Guardians can
6703s	heal back up but Kindred pops around the
6706s	corner starts beating HQ to death
6709s	doesn't get maybe the impact that they
6710s	wanted but it's good cycling around the
6712s	shield and Trust into KJ's Bastion that
6716s	prevails for drainers and like a rubber
6718s	band drainers snap right back and now
6720s	they have control of the choke again and
6723s	their style like we saw is to not even
6725s	let Valiant Guardians sit in this choke
6727s	comfortably we saw Kindred doing the
6729s	same play against bearclaw gaming I
6730s	don't know if it's going to be as
6731s	successful she might actually have to
6732s	use the shatter this time around but
6734s	even that there is no shot Valiant
6736s	Guardians will have scouted this out and
6738s	yep they didn't see it coming well the
6741s	ice block was MTI by H key but
6743s	hero just got their feet hammered
6746s	Valiant Guardians see with this ant
6748s	Matrix if they could have could have
6750s	punished The Escape of Kindred but
6752s	beautiful pin out now you got some hosen
6757s	Valiant Guardian just Valiant Guardians
6759s	taking a bit of damage not too worried
6761s	but they have drainers on The High
6762s	Ground you know exactly what's coming
6764s	this basol will draw those rats maybe
6768s	even get the immortality out of
6770s	no but the blizzard is dropped by H key
6773s	to stop drainers in their tracks
6775s	freezing Kindred killing dead and KJ
6777s	next on The Hit List but the photon bear
6779s	of EVS is what saves the team at the end
6782s	but with two missing from this defense I
6784s	don't know how long drers can hold out
6786s	for I I mean Valley Guardians at the
6788s	very least have at least gotten their
6789s	feet back underneath them and they can
6791s	start to walk and eventually start to
6792s	run they're going to be able to get at
6794s	least one tick on the point here but
6796s	yeah I wouldn't be surprised if drainers
6798s	go back in for a recontest and hey what
6799s	do you know there's Kindred oh jez
6802s	Kindred uh do they have support they do
6805s	the sound barrier but it's really just
6807s	to delay the inevitable gravitic flux to
6811s	deal with the reinforcements there of
6813s	drainers and valali and Guardians have
6815s	Capp the point they had to leverage the
6817s	ult advantage to get to the choke and
6819s	get themselves onto the point there wi
6821s	goes for an aggressive sound barrier to
6823s	try and keep the rest of drainers in the
6824s	fight to keep the recontest alive but
6826s	you live by the sword you die by the
6828s	sword you go for the aggressive sound
6829s	barrier you don't have a defensive one
6831s	for the gravitic flux speaking of
6833s	defensive KJ had no defense there for
6836s	the just ganking there by Valiant
6838s	Guardians that's a pretty late stagger
6840s	and a rough time to lose your primary
6842s	damage dealer that might actually just
6844s	be Valiant Guardians taking this early
6845s	High Ground for three and that is pretty
6847s	disastrous for drainers that's a good
6850s	call from valy and Guardians this bridge
6851s	is a power position that both teams will
6853s	fight over and to be set up this early
6856s	especially with a May drainers are just
6858s	not going to be able to go up here but
6860s	somehow they do with the teleport evest
6862s	they take a different angle which
6864s	catches H ke off guard valali and
6866s	Guardians decide not to contest this of
6869s	course against the ant metric of z turn
6871s	but Valiant Guardians still have some
6872s	good cart push going and Bridge control
6874s	back for drainers that's a great way to
6876s	get that High Ground back up just pop
6878s	the ant Matrix and make the other team
6879s	Evacuate the Dance Floor but hey they
6881s	have showed up to tango once again KJ
6883s	looking very very low there they're
6885s	trying to keep their Bastion alive
6887s	drainers they're going to have to evict
6889s	they're going to have to evict
6889s	themselves take their leave what an
6891s	incredible immortality once again at of
6893s	seep turn when Kindred just abandoned
6895s	the backline the immortality came came
6898s	up saved KJ and the difference of damage
6901s	for drainers is astounding now will not
6904s	only have Bridge control but they may
6905s	want to hold close off of the shatter
6907s	they're definitely going to want to I
6908s	mean they have five ultimates why
6909s	wouldn't they hold close here yeah you
6912s	can see Kindred looking she's going for
6913s	another flank shatter and again Valley
6915s	and Guardians have not successfully
6916s	scouted this out once and why would this
6918s	be any different yeah
6920s	actually narrowly avoids it but now
6922s	you're trapped in here with me son oh
6925s	great Mayall from H key now Kindred is
6927s	trapped that's the head down of hke like
6930s	a mole and the immortality from z turn
6932s	allowed that kill to even happen but
6935s	kindreds eventually dealt with and
6936s	trainers didn't want to invest more than
6938s	they already did it's a good call go for
6941s	those two ultimates the sound Bearer
6943s	could have been used but wi is still
6945s	enabling KJ for as long as they can but
6948s	valy and Guardians are missing a few
6949s	members so it's not a comfortable push
6951s	for them yeah I mean they're only going
6952s	to realistically be able to have moving
6954s	fish on the payload here with I believe
6956s	that's H key along with them here so
6958s	they can get the cart back underneath
6959s	this choke but they can't maintain High
6961s	Ground Control they can't push the cart
6963s	far enough to where The High Ground
6964s	Control becomes irrelevant so again
6966s	drainers are able to snap right back
6969s	take the high ground and drop down on
6972s	top of valiant Guardians on their terms
6975s	oh KIRO managed to actually get the cart
6977s	past the bridge now drainers pop the
6980s	immortality on an off angle what a risk
6984s	what a mistake from trainers they should
6985s	have popped it to cover the payload and
6988s	coming from behind Valley and Guardians
6990s	who are already so far forward is a
6992s	choice drainers are not only only not
6995s	only going to lose bridge but the
6996s	entirety of point B unless Kindred can
6999s	contest then they do but they're the
7000s	only member alive so you you shave off a
7003s	few more seconds but Valiant Guardians a
7006s	great call to keep that cart pushed and
7009s	to keep moving forward despite drainers
7011s	behind them you call that Wick a sound
7013s	barrier there I in her defense it's kind
7015s	of hard to use a sound barrier
7016s	effectively when your team is playing on
7018s	six different tectonic plates I we're
7020s	playing a rush comp as though it is a
7022s	comp full of just all flankers like Zep
7025s	turn is going for aggressive ant
7026s	matrixes in the backline KJ and wi are
7029s	speed boosting a Bastion around behind
7031s	the enemy team Valiant Guardians they
7034s	have failed to predict anything but
7035s	they're still able to make a little bit
7036s	of Headway this basion all Plus charging
7040s	in but now you're looking down the
7042s	barrel of death when there's a sound
7043s	bear from KIRO in your face but barely
7046s	getting it the immortality but there is
7048s	wisp getting their revenge and trainers
7050s	will be wiped off the face of this
7052s	objective and Valiant will get halfway
7054s	to point C that was a great little stun
7057s	there for moving fish I mean kred she
7059s	felt it was getting too hot she wanted
7060s	out turned around and tried to charge
7062s	got hit with an accretion and then the
7063s	wall went up in her face had that rock
7065s	not hit she would have gotten out and
7067s	drainers might actually be able to go
7068s	for a recontest here but now now the
7070s	card's going to get around that last
7072s	corner or right up to it before Valiant
7074s	Guardians have to try and be on the back
7076s	foot now that kred is back in the fight
7078s	moving fish was so low and drainers
7080s	wanted that kill so bad and with being
7082s	this close to shatter and now having it
7085s	Kidd and how they play this corner is
7087s	going to be important but maybe worried
7089s	about the damage that whsp can do on the
7091s	Bastion and reading this amp Matrix
7093s	they're going to T drainers are tping
7095s	behind Valiant and dropped the shatter
7097s	right in front of them drainers wanted
7099s	form the pain sandwich but Valiant
7103s	removing Kindred maybe kills this
7105s	defense for drainers it'll be up to
7107s	their DPS and how they work off of this
7109s	Photon barrier which is acting as a
7111s	pseudo tank and it's been working out
7113s	for KJ taking down the opposition of
7115s	whis and now trapping the supports
7118s	aramori and hero are gone and trainers
7121s	will continue to hold that was almost a
7124s	heroic play from HP the May wal to block
7127s	Kindred shatter was incredible continue
7130s	the longstanding Rivalry of Kindred
7132s	versus walls walls gets one over this
7134s	time around but hke dies with the
7137s	blizzard that might have sealed the
7139s	fight for Valiant Guardians and with
7141s	that off the field and no other tools
7143s	realistically in Valiant Guardians favor
7145s	save for that gravitic flux that came
7147s	out too little too late drainers are
7150s	able to hold and withstand and that's
7151s	where that friendly little fire truck is
7154s	going to stop that is the win condition
7156s	for drainers and if your Valiant
7158s	Guardians I would have love to see a
7160s	full cap because you got to believe with
7162s	the aggression and the way that drainers
7164s	play they are going to have their the
7166s	pedal to the medal the entire time a
7168s	full cap for drainers seems likely going
7170s	on the attack with this hyper aggressive
7172s	style surely this will be a close call
7175s	yeah with how aggressive trainers are
7178s	playing how moving fish decides to
7181s	position is so important to their team's
7183s	success You' got to not be afraid to
7186s	give up space and to play off of your
7187s	cooldowns let them regenerate especially
7189s	that shield and to move back in because
7191s	Sigma can take pressure very well at a
7194s	distance and Kindred not so much so in
7196s	an extended fight I would give moving
7198s	fish and especially this Bastion the dub
7200s	but it's about drainers not hesitating
7203s	on always pressing W key which they've
7205s	been so good at but Valiant have to be
7208s	keep that space created between the two
7210s	for Valiant to win and drainers love to
7213s	press the W key but right now they're
7214s	going to want to press the H key because
7216s	IES versus H key is the major
7218s	differential in this composition
7220s	drainers are going to want to teleport
7222s	right past the choke point hqy wants to
7224s	try and cut them off at the pass who is
7226s	going to get the better of this exchange
7228s	there's the May wall the teleport is no
7230s	good oh the cetra teleport almost caught
7233s	Valiant off guard and now with this ice
7235s	Block H key can't be saved moving fish
7238s	needs to back away they've got the Caro
7240s	speed and the boops to create space but
7243s	trainers Are A Pain Train that will not
7245s	be stopped there are no stops on this
7247s	train and trainers will will be at least
7250s	getting the first take they have to be
7251s	careful with how far they extend out
7253s	especially evest but with bash missing
7255s	there of whiz there's a lot of damage
7257s	missing from Valiant but drainers should
7260s	be okay to get the second tick but what
7261s	about the third Valiant Guardians are
7263s	thinking about a recontest but with a
7265s	Reinhardt that could be pinning them
7267s	down is difficult but HQ has snuck into
7269s	the backline while Kindred pinned
7271s	forward and HQ might have bought another
7274s	fight for
7275s	Balian maybe but I mean she's still
7277s	alive Zep turn going to go ahead and pop
7279s	that ant Matrix up on The High Ground
7281s	And I think with dispatching Kindred
7283s	Valiant Guardians might have finally
7284s	regained control of the fight nope
7286s	scratch that they've actually failed to
7288s	stay on the point and HQ Falls ifs and
7293s	Zep turn they just go ahead and cap the
7295s	point outright and drainers just when
7297s	you thought Valiant Guardians had a
7298s	chance to get back into it steal it
7300s	right back out from under them and now
7302s	here's that aggression from drainers yet
7304s	again playing forward trying to bait
7307s	Valiant Guardians into fighting on their
7308s	term saying yeah come on up here take me
7310s	down Kindred looking for a a shatter
7313s	from the top rope most
7315s	likely yeah it looks like the photon be
7317s	is being thought about to deny Valiant
7320s	from going inside of that room the
7322s	shatter came down H key is missing but
7325s	the artillery fire is here to stop
7327s	drainers from having bridge but the
7329s	shield goes up Kindred blocks the damage
7331s	and now pins in you crazy Reinhardt
7334s	Valiant still weren't able to punish it
7336s	but Kindred without a shield just has
7338s	the spray it just has the swing and pre
7341s	but Valiant break through the tank must
7344s	be more cous and trainers are gone from
7346s	this bridge oh miss kindred's Wild Ride
7349s	finally comes to a close she was emoting
7352s	up on that pillar dropped down with a
7354s	shatter killed two went in for that
7356s	charge and on one HP canceled the charge
7358s	so she could get healed some phenomenal
7361s	Reinhardt play a master class and
7363s	meanwhile wi was sneaking the point
7365s	underneath him the entire time but it
7368s	wasn't enough valy and Guardians right
7369s	able to win the fight and maintain the
7370s	ult advantage so it's going to be a very
7373s	very uphill battle for drainers from
7375s	here on out is where is drainers going
7378s	to teleport to and hqy thought it was
7381s	going to be right on top of bridge so
7382s	they dropped the Blizzard at their feet
7384s	but drainers are split they have someone
7386s	pushing cart and the rest of drainers
7388s	can't seem to find a safe way to cross
7390s	the street while Valiant poke them down
7393s	so a small push from drainers but great
7395s	Focus out of valiant but Vali they
7398s	utilize two of their biggest ultimates
7399s	in that fight and drainers you know
7401s	they're Diamond hands they get to hold
7402s	on to their economy where can keep
7404s	building up that sound barrier to match
7405s	Kos and with that off the field drainers
7408s	firmly have an ult advantage if they go
7409s	in for a TP hit a big amp Matrix
7412s	drainers can retake this High ground but
7415s	Valiant Guardians do have an opportunity
7416s	to consider that possibility mull it
7419s	over think on it as we go to a quick
7422s	pause yeah I was wondering uh that's why
7425s	I wanted to talk to kid about how they
7428s	were going to teleport this composition
7429s	around cuz there's a lot to consider
7431s	when engaging you know inside another
7434s	team you're just teleporting into them
7436s	so mainly it's been Kindred looking for
7438s	shatters um Eves just making that call
7441s	to usually go on top of the pillar on
7443s	top of the bridge and this has been kind
7444s	of nullifying such an important weakness
7446s	of the Reinhardt composition of how much
7449s	time they can take poke for and Eves
7451s	cuts that down by placing them in the
7453s	positions where they don't have to worry
7455s	where Kindred can just swing and this
7457s	will be what's on the menu still finding
7460s	a way to do that the May wall was sort
7462s	of to deny that and here's the artillery
7464s	of KJ that put some fear into Valiant
7466s	they pop the ant Matrix and drainers
7468s	disengage even though they had their own
7470s	a matrix it wasn't it was best placed
7474s	yeah I mean it was placed pretty well
7476s	but kry gets a little bit too low and
7477s	the entirety of drainers just have to
7479s	pump the brakes go on the back foot
7481s	reassess and they can't stick around
7483s	much longer so yeah ant Matrix for ant
7484s	Matrix traded out both kind of wasted
7486s	here W wants to go aggressive with the
7487s	sound barrier though is very aggressive
7490s	trying to overwhelm moving fish who has
7492s	so much cushion because of that sound
7494s	bear eventually dealt with good Focus
7496s	out of drainers with this Photon barrier
7498s	EVS will not be touched and drainers
7501s	will continue to advance this cart and
7503s	this should be a time bank Advantage as
7505s	well Valiant Guardians they've done a
7508s	good job at disengaging from these
7510s	teleport plays but drainers are just so
7512s	creative the Sim TPS are just phenomenal
7515s	from investing you can even see the
7517s	investment that hke has to go for every
7518s	time with the Mayall just to block
7520s	drainers off from even being able to
7522s	utilize the teleporter but that makes it
7524s	harder to be able to cut off line of
7526s	sight once Kindred is actually in your
7528s	face and so yeah she's able to disengage
7530s	she's able to go aggressive she's able
7532s	to shatter An Elevator Shaft for some
7534s	reason who would let who is letting her
7536s	cook there's too much cooking happening
7539s	and uh KIRO or Koo definitely got fried
7542s	going uh up against Kindred in a tiny
7544s	room KJ is also unloading and drainers
7548s	how long can this push push go without
7550s	Kindred they've done enough damage to
7551s	Valiant guardians but they will have the
7553s	respawn Advantage he best has a good
7555s	idea of trying to get more stagger kills
7557s	the box of Victory is there Val and
7559s	Guardians need to touch HQ has to pop
7562s	the blizzard here surely someone has to
7563s	touch please t Okay thing okay all right
7566s	she still is going to have this blizzard
7568s	is going to have to use it into the ant
7569s	Matrix oh but the teleporter is placed
7572s	and not everyone got a right at time
7574s	what Wier lives the second icicle from H
7577s	key didn't hit and especially didn't go
7579s	for the head shot trainers are missing
7583s	their symmetra and it's up to Kindred to
7585s	dominate the front line but they can't
7587s	gets all the damage at range from
7589s	Valiant ni you still have two and a half
7591s	minutes of your drainers nothing to
7592s	worry about yeah nothing to worry about
7595s	but you do have an ult advantage for
7596s	Valiant Guardians they bought just
7598s	enough time to build up that gravitic
7599s	flux the artillery strike that's a great
7601s	onew punch they've got the ant Matrix to
7603s	try and control space which hasn't been
7605s	the easiest task to do against drainers
7608s	but it is a tool that when things are
7609s	this dicey they must leverage they must
7612s	rotate out effectively from here on out
7614s	because once drainers build up that
7615s	Earth shatter you know Kindred is going
7617s	to go for something absolutely
7619s	Bonkers
7621s	trainers how is this going to go they
7623s	have to wait out the gravitic flux
7625s	there's no answer to this and zpp tur is
7627s	already dead trainers just don't have
7629s	the healing to sustain this fight and
7632s	off the photon barrier they you know
7633s	stuck around to see what kind of picks
7635s	they could get but it's just not a fight
7637s	you can take without Zep I mean and
7639s	that's great value for valy and
7640s	Guardians I mean the gravitic flux
7641s	doesn't actually get anything but it
7643s	does section off the rest of the team so
7644s	Zep turn is vulnerable does Fall and
7647s	Valley and Guardians have now build up
7648s	to a sound barrier to match wikas so the
7650s	ult advantage still in their favor the
7652s	rotations are going nicely and they
7654s	don't even have to invest as long as
7655s	they keep finding early picks here's the
7658s	artillery from whisp um firing at the
7661s	wrong team but firing on to the right
7663s	person Eves is gone trainers keep
7666s	getting picked but they do respond with
7668s	the down Caro from the s from the wall I
7671s	should say sound bear hasn't been used
7674s	and drainers will continue to delay this
7677s	car dies without or with the sound
7678s	barrier in his back pocket trainers I
7680s	don't know if they scouted they're not
7681s	going to go aggressive they're going to
7682s	go ahead and use an artillery strike of
7684s	their own and try and take space and
7685s	walk forward but there's the ant Matrix
7687s	from both sides and Kindred Falls yeah
7689s	the ant Matrix from aramori came first
7691s	punished Kindred extending forward the
7694s	box of Victory right in trainer's sight
7696s	but valy and Guardians they're not
7699s	Guardians for no reason they are just
7701s	defensive
7703s	Warlords and the pace has slowed to a
7705s	snails pace right now and that's not
7707s	where drainers want to operate they want
7709s	to pick up the tempo and they're running
7710s	out of time to do just that we got sound
7712s	barriers on both side Kindred coming up
7714s	on a shatter but HQ has the blizzard
7717s	again that has to be the big Difference
7719s	Maker what will she do with this
7721s	blizzard is anybody going to fall
7723s	courtesy of it a great wall but the Bzz
7725s	comes out Kindred lives no wait kred got
7727s	booed line of fire again the immortality
7729s	wasn't enough to save the sound beer
7731s	from wika came too late someone has to
7733s	touch the cart and wika is there
7735s	trainers are so fortable in the face of
7737s	the sigma moving fish who finds the aan
7740s	maybe a winning one against eest
7742s	trainers don't have a lot of members
7744s	only three two are lifted up by the
7746s	graphitic flux the moving fish in the
7748s	sound bear Caro's just the cherry on top
7751s	Kindred is back the shatter finds moving
7754s	fish they're on their back and Traders
7756s	are doing everything to put them sck
7758s	speed under it's an overtime that never
7761s	ends and Kindred can't take all this
7763s	pressure aramori will find the health
7765s	pack and Vali and Guardians have done
7767s	enough to sustain especially with this
7769s	respawn Advantage they will hold and tie
7772s	the
7773s	series you said they're called Guardians
7776s	for a reason what a defense what a
7778s	clutch defense there they know that
7781s	Kindred is the threat there especially
7783s	when she's holding on to that Earth
7784s	shatter and like I said HQ with the
7786s	blizzard sections her off isolates her
7788s	she gets booped back into it so great
7791s	team play understanding the mission you
7793s	take Kindred out suddenly everything is
7796s	in disarray you have the ability to
7798s	control the tempo you can actually
7799s	control the space with your own tank the
7801s	way that you want to and Valiant
7803s	Guardians that's what they needed to do
7805s	finally the Pain Train from the drain
7808s	Gang has been
7810s	stalled what a defense they just valy
7814s	and Guardians played that perfectly they
7815s	knew what Corners to play around they
7818s	also played around both Corners which
7820s	made it very difficult for drainers to
7822s	push into that t cross and look and know
7825s	whether to fight the left side or the
7827s	right side Valiant Guardians never
7829s	stacked too close on top of each other
7831s	where the shatters of drainers could get
7833s	insane amount of value um Valiant
7835s	Guardians also just winning the Bastion
7838s	battle really good use of artillery
7840s	there from Wisp and honestly I thought
7842s	Traders were going to be able to push at
7844s	the end but that is the weakness of
7845s	Reinhardt they they can't take range
7848s	damage for too long kind might have
7850s	started off fights really well but once
7853s	things got hairy kind just didn't have
7855s	enough armor enough Shield to live and
7857s	it's the trouble with the Reinhardt once
7859s	the shield goes down suddenly you are
7861s	the one taking all of the damage and you
7863s	have to be putting out enough damage to
7864s	offset and Kindred was definitely no
7867s	slouch when it came to dishing out the
7869s	damage but it was just that last little
7872s	bit that those last two fights that seal
7875s	the deal for Valiant Guardians they seem
7878s	to affect the answer here whatever it is
7880s	cuz I'm still not entirely sure what
7882s	we've seen it's been so chaotic top to
7884s	bottom but the fact that alian Guardians
7887s	are able to at least stall out Dano's
7889s	momentum I feel is everything they have
7892s	a shot at making that date with Destiny
7894s	we're tied up at 1 and I think the more
7897s	important narrative by the way is that
7899s	I'm not actually the cause of the curse
7901s	Jag my codcaster from yesterday if
7902s	you're watching you are the cause of the
7904s	three curse I shift all that blame on to
7906s	you I get to cast a serious in which
7909s	it's not entirely
7910s	one-sided yeah H key minus the blizzard
7914s	that they used on the bridge there of
7917s	point B really well timed ice blocks
7919s	against the shatters maze that were
7921s	isolating Kindred a lot and I think for
7924s	this particular point it just symmetra
7927s	is a bit weaker you know I think draer
7929s	did an amazing job of overwhelming
7930s	bridge and taking control of that and
7933s	finding creative ways to get in and
7935s	around Valiant guardians but this is
7936s	just a point of the map that
7939s	there is no uh Power position spot to
7941s	engage into it was just a poke war that
7944s	trainers could not win and you have a
7946s	look at the damage comp or the
7948s	comparison here between KJ and wisps and
7950s	wisps did indeed come out ahead in the
7953s	damage and in the deaths per 10 and I
7955s	think when you're playing Bastion
7957s	obviously you want to be pumping out as
7959s	much damage as possible and staying
7960s	alive so that you can continue to be an
7962s	everpresent threat that makes the enemy
7964s	tank sweat and you better believe
7966s	Kindred was sweating heavily with whisps
7969s	on the other side constantly staring
7970s	down all of the barrels of that Bastion
7973s	turret form it's a hell of a thing to
7975s	try and play into as any tank but
7977s	especially as a Reinhardt because again
7979s	yeah once your Shield goes down you're
7981s	the one taking all the damage you're the
7983s	one that is you you just take all the
7985s	damage you're melting like butter in
7987s	front of your very eyes it's it's so
7989s	hard to play into and so difficult I'm
7992s	amazed that Kindred has been this
7993s	successful thus far but has her luck run
7996s	out has she sort of stalled out here I
7998s	do want to you know highlight one other
8001s	thing really quick last time these two
8003s	teams met it was a drainers 20 in Swiss
8005s	this is the most even that this matchup
8008s	between these two has been thus far it
8010s	is going to be Diner's map pick as we go
8012s	into map three but we're going to throw
8014s	to a quick break before we find out what
8015s	that map is don't go anywhere this one
8018s	is getting
8027s	spicy

8230s	Washington Timeless currently sit at top
8232s	their Ivory Tower with their notepads
8234s	out doing their homework as these two
8236s	teams fight for both amusement and for
8239s	the right to take that Crown from them
8241s	drainers and Valiant Guardians it could
8243s	not be more even right now someone has
8245s	finally put a stop to the drain gang and
8248s	put it at one a piece we are going to go
8251s	to cvasa for flasho to break this tie
8254s	well drainers uh did just come off of a
8256s	sweep which included surasa and in
8259s	dominant fashion too with all three
8261s	first rounds going their way and this is
8264s	where especially Iz uh was insane on the
8267s	genj she finally got the pop off get
8269s	that 3K play of the play of the game and
8273s	Vali and Guardians I think their defense
8276s	is what got them to win on Midtown but
8280s	how is that going to work against the
8281s	map that you can't always defend well on
8284s	yeah it's it's so hard to to defend on
8287s	on flasho I mean it when you have
8289s	control of the objective you're good but
8291s	against an unpredictable team like the
8292s	drainers who just you know us in zarya
8295s	bubbles to circle around amp matrixes
8297s	and hit you from the back door when you
8298s	don't see it coming it makes it so much
8300s	more difficult to hold on to a flash
8302s	point and try and get that Advantage
8303s	there it is also quite difficult to take
8306s	it from a team as Scrappy as drainers a
8309s	team that makes fights last what feel
8311s	like an eternity that just never ends
8313s	they keep it going even when they have
8315s	no business going I feel like if you
8317s	give an early point to the trainers even
8319s	if you take it back you're not getting
8321s	away without giving them at least like
8323s	60% yeah and just rotations right it's
8326s	about the options of speed that you have
8329s	where we saw a lot of EV Symetra at
8331s	least for that first point whether they
8333s	stay on that maybe go to Genji next
8335s	we'll see how easy the rotations will be
8337s	for Kindred who um I believe opted for
8340s	junker Queen last time because they were
8343s	getting maywald off and stuff but we'll
8344s	see what kind of Rush tank they go for I
8346s	would love the junker Queen to enable
8348s	ies's Genji with that over Health but
8351s	the Reinhardt has been rather successful
8353s	for Kindred as well I mean the Reinhardt
8355s	was very successful she also swapped
8357s	over onto these Arya to try and
8358s	counteract the orisa because as she
8360s	phrased it monkey see monkey do monkey
8363s	see orisa monkey gozaria it's that tank
8365s	rock paper scissors that we've seen time
8366s	and time again and I mean when you're a
8369s	tank player like Kindred who is so Adept
8371s	that all of these very brawl heavy tanks
8374s	it makes it really difficult to play
8376s	around moving fish is having to you know
8378s	essentially play with their controls
8380s	inverted it feels like sometimes and
8382s	they're quite successful they're such a
8383s	good Sigma player like I mentioned
8385s	they're a sigma specialist a contenders
8387s	and Collegiate player known so well for
8391s	their Sigma play but it isn't enough to
8393s	get one over on drainers it was enough
8395s	to stall them out just barely on Midtown
8399s	but they need to do something a little
8400s	bit more decisive here on cvasa they
8403s	need to completely shut drainers down
8406s	even in spawn right now Kindred is
8407s	playing tank
8409s	roulette yeah just what is going to be
8411s	the call out of drainers right and I
8413s	think they were able to defend well
8416s	moving fish I think yeah the Sigma again
8418s	how do you respect that space between
8420s	yourself and the Reinhardt it's lot you
8422s	know this map just plays like control
8424s	there's just more of it and there's some
8426s	points that are more spacious for that
8427s	Sigma but this first one's tough because
8429s	the symmetra can also Place trainers
8431s	behind that Sigma you call that ies's
8434s	Genji play H ke is going to come out on
8436s	a Genji of her own and IES at least for
8438s	the first point sticking with the
8439s	symmetra so drainers might have a more
8442s	favorable ability to control space here
8444s	with that little cocktail cooked up
8446s	between that and the Bas but it looks
8448s	like Val and Guardians are the first one
8450s	to get their grippers on the point but a
8451s	nice s fromes that get shut
8455s	down is already using a lot of Shield
8457s	early in this fight before the Bastion
8459s	has even gone to tank form so that
8461s	forces trainers to take a step back and
8463s	they're going to be charging on in not
8465s	using the teleport just trying to
8467s	instill fear in the eyes of valiant
8469s	Guardians trainers are pretty close to
8471s	flipping and moving fish wanted to
8473s	contest drop down to half Health just
8475s	trying to be present but rers still
8478s	haven't been able to cap quite yet the
8480s	damage coming out of valiant Guardians
8482s	has been a lot for drers to deal with
8485s	who have been just trying to stand there
8487s	capping the point but valali and
8488s	Guardians been probably contesting
8490s	things to Carrow or maybe H key but
8492s	finally drainers get the point that was
8494s	a long time for Vali and Guardians to
8496s	hold on to it despite not being on the
8497s	point there yeah either Hy or car was
8499s	doing a great job keeping it in contest
8501s	for that long but it does finally flip
8503s	drers seem in Prime position to take
8505s	this they could even go aggressive with
8506s	Wick a sound barrier if they want to oh
8509s	my God they're just going to teleport
8510s	behind the ant Matrix like that drainers
8513s	even with the sound bear and the
8515s	immortality they've overstayed their
8517s	welcome and now you have KJ just getting
8520s	booped away from the enemy team Valiant
8522s	knew what was coming and plant for it
8525s	yeah and I mean this is starting to be
8526s	where drainers you know their the method
8528s	to the madness is starting to be a
8531s	little bit less maddening for Valiant
8533s	Guardians because they did that with
8534s	only the ant Matrix and just a little
8536s	bit of positional outplaying and maybe
8538s	drainer is trying to reinvent the wheel
8539s	with that Sim TP Strat there yeah it
8541s	paid dividends but it wasn't enough to
8543s	either bleed out the ult economy for
8544s	Valiant guardians or keep the point in
8546s	your favor this is last fight for this
8548s	first point here on cvasa are drainers
8550s	going to be able to buy their way back
8551s	into this Kindred is so low and drainers
8554s	got split up trying to help them so HQ
8556s	tried to take advantage of this moment
8557s	with the Dragon Blade and cutting down
8560s	events one of the most vulnerable
8561s	members that is a good start five to
8563s	four in favor of valy Guardians who
8566s	looking for the trades they managed
8567s	Dodge the shatter from KRA but the sound
8571s	barrier too they don't seem to be able
8572s	to live against KJ's artillery and
8575s	without that Bastion without whisp and
8577s	age key valian just simply don't have
8579s	the damage to keep defending this but
8581s	it'll be up to moving
8583s	fish and really they Lucio but I think
8586s	that's all she wrote for Valiant it
8588s	looks about like it KRA with a couple of
8590s	stagger picks off there aramori being
8592s	the last to fall is going to be
8594s	difficult even worse with moving fish
8596s	actually sticking around a little bit
8597s	long than they should have sent back to
8599s	the ocean once more is moving fish and
8601s	drainers I mean that's all the time that
8603s	they need to buy this back into one
8604s	fight territory for this first point
8606s	here they might actually be able to hold
8607s	on to it and they have the sound barrier
8610s	to do it that's the most important thing
8612s	is that wiah still has the all important
8616s	beat this is last fight for the first
8618s	point drainers have the sound bear as
8621s	you said but we can see this fight open
8622s	up with the artillery dare of whisp but
8624s	drainers are not going to let them set
8626s	up they teleport into them them Valiant
8628s	were in the middle of artillery and well
8630s	K cancel out of that trainers removing
8633s	that fashion is huge for this fight KJ
8635s	has the immortality Balian know that
8637s	that is an important Target Carol
8639s	manages to take them down but with
8641s	moving fish quite literally escorted off
8644s	the premises d uh drainers will be
8646s	taking the first point and Kindred
8648s	acting as the bouncer to the club there
8650s	like you said escorting moving fish off
8652s	the premises and moving fish not taking
8654s	too kindly to that nice A little
8655s	accretion takes themselves out of fight
8657s	as well first point goes over to
8659s	drainers and they've already kicked
8661s	rocks and booked it onto the second
8663s	point and that's going to be the Valiant
8664s	Guardians on the outside looking in
8666s	while drainers will already be set up
8668s	lurking with the shatter you got to
8669s	believe you know another teleport play
8671s	from evest is going to come out huge
8674s	Valiant Guardians like how do you crack
8676s	this this is tough you have at least the
8680s	May of H key that is being used I kred
8683s	who got teleported behind went for a
8685s	shatter play I don't know what blocked
8687s	it might have been the hkey uh ice block
8690s	I'm not sure but Kindred went for a play
8693s	came out with nothing and that gives Val
8695s	and Guardians the point cap a shout out
8698s	to our reservers for uh for watching
8700s	wisp during that who looked quite
8701s	unbothered saying like did I just hear
8703s	something was somebody like knocking at
8704s	my back door was there like a be or
8706s	something back there like they paid no
8708s	attention to Kindred that shatter just
8709s	went completely errand again got like
8711s	you said got blocked and now down the
8714s	drain Valiant Guardians now have the ult
8716s	advantage firmly in their face
8717s	H ke blizzard is going to be a hell of a
8720s	thing for drainers to try and clap
8721s	through without this uh without this
8723s	sound barrier from wi they're going to
8725s	go with the artillery strike and go
8726s	turbo aggressive to try and follow up on
8728s	the damage yeah Kindred was trying to
8731s	follow up on the artillery damage as you
8732s	said and took a lot of hits and there
8735s	wasn't enough damage coming out of the
8737s	artillery and what was waiting for
8738s	trainers was a stound barrier and a
8741s	blizzard Diner seeing really what they
8744s	can get out of this Bastion Lucio but
8746s	now that's an a pretty painful stagger
8748s	in favor of valiant it was a sound
8750s	barrier blizzard and a gravitic flux I
8752s	really like the combo lifting him up and
8754s	slamming him right back down into the
8755s	blizzard in fact most of them were
8757s	already Frozen up before they even hit
8758s	the dirt again and this should be
8760s	Valiant Guardians capping I it's a heavy
8762s	investment but if it get to the point
8764s	it's absolutely worth it I don't think
8765s	drainers have an opportunity to contest
8767s	again both teams are just yeah they were
8769s	just staying stationary waiting for the
8771s	next point to reveal itself so they can
8772s	start booking it on over to the opposite
8775s	corner of the map and once again looks
8777s	like trainers are coming out ahead in
8778s	the race but it didn't favor them so
8780s	well last time valy and Guardians should
8782s	have a plan here especially with this
8784s	ant magic from
8785s	aramori it's one to one and also one to
8789s	one in the series too Valiant will just
8792s	be approaching the point now with
8793s	drainer on The High Ground we could see
8796s	another wiah engage off the sound barer
8798s	if they think it's the right move
8800s	Kindred likes to play aggressive look
8802s	how pushed up they are they know that
8804s	Valiant are rotating in these rooms to
8806s	try and access that high ground with
8808s	pass the artillery but they don't seem
8810s	they want to make sure that they can
8812s	prevent the cap from drainers hred seems
8814s	to be locked down here's the artillery
8816s	right around the corner kred gets booped
8819s	away by um by Koo and Valiant Guardians
8823s	have put a huge dent in the forces of
8825s	drainers I mean the biggest Dent
8827s	possible they take down wiah who had the
8828s	sound barrier which is going to enable
8830s	kindred's aggression and now that
8832s	aggression is looking quite errant it
8833s	goes all for not and Valiant Guardians
8835s	sure they can see nearly 30% but they
8837s	flip the point back in their favor they
8839s	have SS to boot wi is forced to hold on
8842s	to that sound barrier where you would
8843s	have liked to think she would have
8845s	wanted to use it to try and hold on to
8847s	the point a little bit longer keep the
8849s	chaos going you whip up a little bit
8851s	more of a storm but it just doesn't pan
8853s	out and so now how do you use this it
8855s	has to be to try and counteract the
8856s	blizzard here but that might be just
8859s	what Valiant Guardians wants especially
8860s	if moving fish is able to build up this
8862s	gratic flock EV locked Valley of
8864s	Guardians in the Kindred steps up with
8866s	the shatter but Valiant had a blizzard
8869s	waiting for them and it's only so much
8871s	wi can do with the sound barrier now
8874s	we're left with valian Guardian still
8876s	not only defending this point but
8877s	getting Stager kills on the drainers and
8880s	this will be last fight for that point
8882s	and blinking you miss it kred was
8883s	already gone before that sound barrier
8885s	came out and Yeah utilizing that and the
8887s	shatter and getting absolutely nothing
8890s	is pretty rough if you're drainers they
8892s	still have an opportunity to go in for a
8893s	touch here but it's going to be a
8895s	desperation touch if anything you still
8897s	have the gravitic flux to worry about
8899s	and now you only are going to have Zep
8901s	turn's immortality field to cancel it if
8902s	and when that comes out there is no
8904s	touch it won't come out as a matter of
8906s	fact we're going to our we're going to
8909s	our fourth Point here on Sasa two to one
8911s	for Valiant Guardians trainers giving
8913s	that point up maybe gives them a
8915s	positional Advantage for this next point
8918s	they know that defending with Reinhardt
8919s	is important but the ant Matrix comes up
8921s	from Valiant Guardians to break through
8923s	before it's unlocked and the blizzard
8925s	denied there from e as iant Guardian
8927s	stepped up no kills exchanged yet next
8930s	trigger being pulled gravitic flux onto
8932s	those supports Z pops the immortality
8934s	barely Dodges the accretion might have
8936s	still got hit by it Valiant have trapped
8938s	those supports and have shredded every
8941s	other ounce of drainers on this point
8943s	before they could even cap that eat onto
8946s	the blizzard was everything great play
8947s	there for moving fish and then following
8949s	it up with the gravitic flux and like I
8950s	said they only had the immortality field
8952s	to counter it did drainers and that's
8954s	not really enough because once that lamp
8956s	goes down you still have to vacate the
8958s	premises or else you're going to fall
8960s	victim to some of those hypers spheres
8961s	and that they did drainers KJ has the
8965s	overclock which could be something but
8966s	without a positional advantage or a way
8968s	to really leverage it they're going to
8970s	have to go for something really
8971s	aggressive which it's just what they do
8974s	have some overclock action here too KJ
8976s	goes for that sound barrier preemptively
8978s	and the May wall not a lot of line of
8980s	sight options for KJ but putting in good
8982s	damage and focusing that onto whis so
8984s	valiia don't want to stand idly by they
8986s	throw the blizzard in the the face of
8987s	drainers who were stepped up looking for
8989s	targets and they get Frozen up and taken
8992s	down by Balian again it's just clinical
8995s	from drainers here that's also going to
8996s	be a late stagger onto wi that's the
8998s	speed boost now gone that might have
9000s	just removed any potential for there to
9002s	be a touch drainers they don't want to
9003s	swap the fast Heroes they want to try
9005s	and take it the teleporter should get
9006s	kindered in position to get a touch here
9008s	and she has the shatter she has to use
9010s	it okay that's three down from Valiant
9013s	but they're still living through it with
9014s	the ant Matrix 2 Kindred can't follow up
9017s	decides to go back to the point cuz it's
9018s	99% the sound Barry allowed Kindred to
9021s	be a little extra aggressive but they're
9022s	getting bullied by everyone and they got
9025s	too aggressive little bit off the point
9027s	there Valiant will steal the point and
9029s	the map not quite a C9 cuz there was a
9032s	last second Boop there from Caro to
9034s	prevent Kindred from getting back to the
9036s	point but like that aggression kind of
9038s	put herself in that situation where
9040s	she's just kind of stuck between trying
9041s	to pressure down everybody that will
9043s	kill her if she doesn't keep the
9044s	aggression up and trying to keep the
9046s	point Point alive and she chose the
9048s	former it was the ladder that bit her in
9051s	the butt and drainers have dropped
9053s	another map and they are now staring
9055s	down the barrel of elimination here it
9057s	might be a repeat of the last tournament
9060s	in our grand finals Valiant Guardians
9062s	against Washington Timeless unless
9064s	drainers have everything to say about it
9065s	and if they do now is the time to speak
9068s	up and you were mentioning earlier that
9071s	drainers to owed Valiant Guardians in
9073s	that Swiss uh bracket and then now they
9076s	just have never lost a map to Valiant
9078s	Guardians and how about two the script
9080s	is being reversed in the face of some
9083s	drainers and Valiant Guardians I just
9085s	think playing off with the sigma they
9087s	knew how to take a preemptive engage and
9090s	keep wisp alive that was what's most
9092s	important and trainers just got really
9095s	stuck there on some points and managing
9097s	and knowing how to defend going for
9099s	plays like this that were heavily
9101s	punished that's really what the key word
9102s	here for Valiant Guardian was is
9105s	punishing Kindred I mean and yet they
9107s	definitely did need to be punished
9108s	because they've been quite naughty
9110s	indeed throughout this entire tournament
9111s	and maybe a little bit of punishment for
9113s	that 20 that they had over Valiant
9115s	Guardians in Swiss like we've called out
9117s	and something I want to highlight about
9118s	that particular Victory is that at the
9120s	time Valiant Guardians did not have
9123s	aramori in their backline she was not
9125s	able to play so the backline for Valiant
9127s	Guardians looked a little different but
9129s	now it looks Ironclad and you can even
9132s	see in the head-to-head Koo versus wika
9135s	wi doing a lot of damage Dage and a lot
9137s	of healing as well that is a symptom of
9140s	that aggression but such is life and
9142s	such is death when you are playing this
9145s	hyper aggressive composition that the
9147s	drainers love to play Carol can play a
9149s	little bit more safe do more healing get
9151s	more sound barriers off successfully or
9153s	you know less sound barriers off but the
9155s	ones that are used are much more
9157s	effective and do amount in team fight
9159s	wins and that is what you're looking for
9161s	in elucio right
9162s	now yeah the survivability of your
9165s	supports and how long they can
9167s	contribute to the 54 is so important and
9169s	Carol did an incredible job to make
9172s	those calls early and that's why you
9173s	have so low amount of deaths because it
9175s	felt like their team really decided on
9177s	when the engages were happening and on
9179s	what terms um so Valiant Guardians
9181s	incredible job to slowly turn this
9183s	series uh in their favor well on what
9187s	terms will the next fight be it is on
9189s	drainer terms and they have chosen to
9190s	take us to coloso for our fourth map I
9194s	finally get to cast a push map all
9195s	weekend all
9197s	all two weekends long that it has eluded
9200s	me thus far I'm excited to be able to
9201s	get into it push is a very fun game mode
9203s	and one that I do think feeds into the
9205s	type of chaotic style that drainers
9208s	wants to play but in the past two maps
9210s	you know Valiant Guardians have gotten
9212s	increasingly more successful at keeping
9213s	them at Bay if they're able to get some
9215s	momentum underneath them start to walk
9217s	start to run eventually drainers are
9220s	going to run out of steam and this is
9222s	where the symmetra of Evas is going to
9224s	be so critical on coloso especially that
9226s	neutral point is such a long road Sigma
9230s	is going to Prevail there unless you
9231s	have a gap closing option of a symmetra
9235s	or maybe layers of speed you can run the
9237s	queen and the Lucio if that is the rush
9239s	of choice I would hope to see some Sigma
9242s	out of Kindred but we haven't seen much
9244s	of that they've countered to other
9246s	options but Valiant Guardians have
9248s	learned to adapt against the symmetra
9250s	teleport uh fights that have come up in
9254s	front of them so I think V and Guardians
9256s	uh have a good game plan moving forward
9258s	you know what's crazy too is like I've
9260s	casted a lot of kindred's games her
9262s	Sigma is also sick she could totally
9265s	just bust that out at any time if she
9266s	wants to but she has been just chugging
9268s	pre-workout or whatever lately she's so
9270s	hyped up on these really really hyper
9272s	aggressive tanks she does not want to
9274s	sit idly by and poke away with those
9276s	hypers Speers she wants to hurt you and
9278s	she is going to do it and I mean she's
9281s	been pretty successful thus far but
9283s	again on the last two maps it has been
9285s	stifled they've managed to you know hold
9287s	their hands out stop Kindra from getting
9289s	too close stop her in her tracks punish
9291s	her when she goes too aggressive or when
9293s	she goes for a very very aggressive
9295s	shatter I'm predicting she's going to
9297s	come out on the Reinhardt again and if
9300s	it gets punished this might be where
9301s	drainers their run might be
9304s	up yeah how you approach this neutral
9307s	point it is such a longdistance type of
9310s	fight the Gap closing is what's going to
9312s	be key to watch there but once you win
9314s	that first fight you have to have
9316s	compositions that don't do well against
9318s	poke are going to struggle to go up that
9320s	staircase try and take control of that
9322s	bridge that is a very awkward part of
9324s	coliseo to try and maneuver around if
9326s	you're a rush composition it's probably
9329s	the map that I would say London struggle
9330s	with the most but it's still some one
9332s	that they're successful on so if you are
9334s	drainers you're looking at London and
9337s	how they maneuvered around this there is
9339s	no hesitation that can happen in your
9341s	mind you must be always going because
9343s	Ryan like we said cannot take poke for
9345s	that long while Valiant May uh just have
9348s	better poke after all as difficult as
9351s	those bridges are for a rush comp to
9353s	take it is easy mode for a sigma to hold
9356s	so Ian if you're drainers you have to
9358s	try and break that lightning fast you
9360s	can't let you can't let valali Guardians
9362s	get set up on that High Ground there
9363s	because they can poke and prodct you
9364s	from Forever make you feel super super
9366s	uncomfortable that's where again IES
9368s	with a Teleport plays might end up
9370s	coming into play if Kindra does indeed
9372s	go for the big Hammerman once again
9375s	which I kind of predict that she will
9378s	that's the part of the map that I want
9379s	to hyper fixate on is those bridges
9381s	right there MH I hope that H ke doesn't
9384s	get baited into playing May I think May
9386s	is very difficult to pull off it's more
9388s	of a closer to medium range hero like
9390s	yes the icicles are great but it's more
9393s	about the utility of why you use May and
9395s	how you're using that may wall to
9397s	isolate Kindred which I think that with
9399s	a full shield with a lot of armor
9401s	Kindred can live through that Zep has
9403s	been incredibly reliable on the Baptist
9405s	so I hope h hkey just goes for a poke
9408s	style hero and not a May because we've
9411s	seen may fall before but of course it
9413s	was great on surasa when you can play
9415s	close when you can be very close to
9417s	engages Spa spacewise but this is a very
9420s	long range map at times and may doesn't
9423s	work well there I let's let's have a
9426s	look see yep I okay yeah she's showing
9428s	the May right now it is still attack
9429s	resp spawns and I don't want to take the
9431s	bait too hard though but I'm wisps what
9434s	are you doing uh the may I think is very
9437s	well suited to that first fight that
9439s	very neutral ground in the middle that
9441s	is very long it's a very long fight over
9444s	the bot in that initial capture of it
9446s	once we start to get to those High
9447s	grounds is where you might see the Poke
9449s	style hero swaps come out from HQ she
9451s	might SW swap over to the Genji or
9453s	something a little bit more
9454s	assassination or poke or prod heavy but
9458s	for now Valiant Guardians are sticking
9460s	with what has worked and that is using
9462s	this Sigma Rush variant to control the
9465s	tempo and drainer
9466s	as predicted on the
9469s	Hammerman see how close hke can get
9472s	isolating Kindred you can do these walls
9474s	sort of uh near the edges of the wall
9478s	and but it's not going to be the full
9479s	isolation Kindred May manage to get
9482s	around it Valiant Guardians now they
9485s	have moving fish present in front of the
9486s	bot Kindred trying to regenerate that
9488s	shield and almost not able to is forced
9490s	to fight at half Health has KJ and tank
9494s	for just shredding down Valley and
9495s	forcing the back and HK didn't get the
9498s	MEO about the
9499s	rotation HK gets caught out pretty
9502s	heavily there and yeah that may that we
9503s	talked about no longer a factor and
9505s	neither are Zurn and evest it's pretty
9507s	even both sides but drainers are getting
9509s	a little bit of Headway getting a little
9511s	bit of Bot progress early and that's
9512s	going to be huge especially if they're
9515s	able to go much further but it looks
9516s	like they don't want to they're actually
9517s	going to think better of it trying to
9519s	play for opal positioning get themselves
9521s	back to full
9523s	strength yeah H key I could tell was
9525s	trying to get in the creative angle
9526s	looking for these mayw isolations but
9530s	where you ice block to can have you
9532s	trapped and almost bait your team into
9533s	helping you survive and might just lock
9536s	you into a fight that you do not are not
9538s	ready to take yet and speaking of that
9540s	you got the an Matrix ready from aramori
9542s	the Mayall comes up from H key to delay
9544s	the push there from drainers and at
9546s	least you're out of line of sight of
9548s	this amp Matrix but here it is aror pops
9550s	around the corner draer seems to be in a
9552s	safe position to even fire back this is
9556s	uh with their own but they decide not to
9557s	use that this is just Classic coloso
9559s	this first fight goes on forever and HQ
9561s	wants to put a stop to it she's back and
9563s	Out For Blood takes down evest no sim
9566s	wall coming up anytime soon but it's not
9567s	going to be enough to evict R from the
9569s	point just yet oh you cancel the accre
9572s	if you're Kindred KJ steps up to help
9575s	this push and all this poke damage
9577s	coming around this Reinhardt is what
9579s	finds KJ in the end Valiant will pull
9582s	off this fight especially removing
9584s	Kindred which was the biggest threat
9585s	there at close range H uh Valiant
9588s	Guardians will be able to take the lead
9589s	from this and I mean aside from Zep
9592s	turn's ant Matrix early on there and I
9593s	believe aror popped one a little bit
9595s	before it's been pretty dry thus far and
9598s	it's about to get quite moist in the ult
9599s	bank Department cuz both teams are
9601s	coming up on a wealth of ultimates safe
9604s	for evest who's going to have to take
9605s	another break before they're able to get
9606s	up to that Photon barrier I think that
9609s	ult might have gotten the K there by the
9612s	KJ that was a choice but got I think May
9614s	walled up by H key which amazing Valiant
9618s	just walk right into the shadow of
9620s	Kindred the sound be of caro plus the
9623s	blizzard of HP is it enough to stop
9626s	drainers in their tracks will they go
9628s	back up the stairs use the photon bear
9630s	of evest to protect themselves and
9632s	Valley on our left with not enough
9634s	bodies to keep this pushed especially if
9637s	armori falls look at her health bar
9638s	right now she is criminally low moving
9640s	fish getting even lower the immortality
9642s	field going to come out from aramori to
9644s	keep everybody alive but Val Guardians
9646s	have given up a ton of space they no
9648s	longer have the favorable position and
9650s	Kindred wants to take all the space Oh
9652s	my God moving fish using the AL just to
9655s	escape with the m Matrix and sound bear
9657s	in the face that is what you needed to
9659s	do to survive so good idea by moving
9662s	fish very much the Houdini plays of
9664s	Sigma plays that I've ever seen but I
9666s	mean now the old banks are pretty much
9668s	drained on both sides neither team
9670s	realistically has an advantage so we're
9671s	back to this neutral fight in the center
9674s	of the map that feels like it just never
9677s	ends okay the fashion of wisp forces
9681s	Kindred to take a step back see moving
9683s	fish trying to take space but doesn't
9684s	have a shield H key can't really stop
9687s	what Kindred is up to just keeps on
9689s	swinging and this is why this may may
9692s	have issues if you're not able to
9694s	protect your team if you're not able to
9695s	stop Kindred and find the kill onto the
9698s	Reinhardt maybe drainers will be just
9701s	let loose they have a lot of freedom and
9703s	now the May wall might have just killed
9704s	Kindred h should have just went for the
9706s	melee that might have been enough to
9708s	kill them but I think unsure on if that
9710s	was going to be successful drainers
9713s	barely scraping by this fight no melee
9715s	so the May gets laid low there but
9718s	despite that Valiant Guardians are able
9719s	to evict trainers from the point whips
9721s	comes back with three big kills and
9723s	drainers they aren't able to take the
9725s	lead the bot just kind of stalling out
9727s	there moving fish going to go ahead and
9728s	take control of that and yeah
9730s	drainers they they were able to stay
9732s	alive for a little bit longer than I
9733s	think they had any business doing but
9735s	that was kind of all Valiant Guardians
9736s	who are going to keep the bot going in
9738s	their favor despite drainer sizeable ult
9740s	Advantage where where is Kindred shatter
9743s	going to land this time now the giant
9745s	hammer coming through the wall would
9746s	might have been a hint and it still
9747s	lands on moving fish and combines with
9750s	the artillery of KJ and two fall
9753s	immediately from Valiant they still have
9756s	a 44 meter lead with 5 minutes left it's
9758s	drainers that might may be good at
9760s	winning retakes that may be good at
9762s	winning these neutral fights but how do
9764s	they climb up these stairs they need to
9765s	stop whis from getting up there the
9767s	artillery is being thrown this Lucio is
9770s	only a distraction the down bear of Koo
9772s	saves the entire team and punish his
9775s	Kindred that has been the recipe for
9777s	Success when it comes to Valiant
9779s	Guardians you ask how Valiant Guardians
9781s	are supposed to get up those stairs it
9783s	has to be quick it has to be pure
9784s	unbridled degression but it gets
9786s	punished once again they bait Kindred in
9789s	they pop the sound barrier they pop the
9790s	May wall behind her so she can't get out
9793s	there is no escape and she falls and
9795s	suddenly drainers have once again failed
9798s	to take control of that high ground and
9799s	they're struggling to maintain control
9801s	of their own oh man valant Guardians
9804s	want to extend what they have but they
9806s	have to deal with Kindred and Friends
9808s	rushing into the backline and Eves can
9810s	only sit there and watch trainers have
9814s	control back of the but have let valian
9816s	Escape valian slipping out the back door
9819s	but this is fine they can just Retreat
9820s	back over to The High Ground leverage
9822s	that Advantage but they're going to play
9823s	the low ground and pop the ant Matrix
9826s	oh Kindred is barely alive the sound
9829s	bear may help but for how long this gtic
9831s	flux is all for Kindred with love and KJ
9835s	trying to deal with this Sigma and Eves
9838s	can't escape either now they're going to
9840s	get staggered and valant will keep their
9842s	lead that's excellent timing on the
9844s	gratic flux there from moving fish they
9846s	know how to play this Sigma so so well
9848s	sees the sound barrier that's popped
9849s	from wi and drops this the gravitic flux
9852s	the very second that the over Health
9853s	would bleed away too too long by the
9855s	time Kindred hit the ground there was no
9857s	hope left for her and yeah again Valley
9859s	and Guardians they're draining the
9860s	coffers a bit investing a lot of
9862s	ultimates but they're finding value for
9864s	it whereas drainers I mean Kindred
9866s	shatters have been pretty hit and miss
9867s	when they hit they sure do hit and
9869s	Kindred wants to hit another big one oh
9872s	waiting wanted to combine this maybe
9874s	with the artillery and didn't see a
9876s	moment was worried about the blizzard
9877s	and the blizzard gets no one the shatter
9880s	well countered by the ice block of HK
9882s	and whis but gets shot without the
9884s	protection there of Kindred who was high
9885s	riding in the
9887s	closet but Valiant are just losing
9890s	members left and right and trainers like
9892s	I said are so proficient at winning
9893s	these neutral fights but again how do
9896s	they get up this corner staircase again
9899s	they they have to be absolutely Swift I
9901s	want to give a quick shout out to Koo by
9902s	the way who I believe booped Kindred up
9904s	just a little bit to delay the shatter
9906s	and give HQ time to pop that ice block
9908s	that is a great way to block that
9910s	shatter but despite that the fight still
9913s	goes on a little bit longer drers win it
9915s	but but they lost a lot of time and now
9918s	valan Guardians up on that High Ground
9919s	are going to Leverage The Clock against
9921s	drainers and Leverage The High Ground
9923s	forc them into this little bar here the
9925s	bot got stolen by Koo so drainers are
9928s	this fight is going to cost them more
9931s	and Kindred is in a corner with trying
9933s	to avoid the artillery and the bot is
9935s	just gone along with the rest of
9936s	drainers that was the fight for the lead
9939s	there's still 2 minutes left but
9940s	drainers dropped the bag and forgot
9943s	about the bot yeah g just sneaks off
9946s	like a thief in the night with the bot
9947s	and I mean Wick and Kindred the two girl
9949s	hit squad go back to try and deal with
9950s	him but I mean with the rest of the
9952s	reinforcements coming for valan
9953s	Guardians and with the bot now firmly in
9955s	their control there's nothing they can
9957s	do they take down Kindred early this a
9960s	matrix plus Bastion is crazy KJ had to
9963s	throw everything at that including wi
9966s	with the assist now this fight for the
9967s	bridge continues and valiant's Lead is
9969s	only going to grow more and more and
9972s	they may even get forward spawns
9974s	drainers are in trouble this match point
9976s	for Valiant Guardians it's spiraling out
9979s	of control you live by the chaos and die
9981s	by it and drainers they're getting a
9983s	little bit too chaotic here they have to
9984s	re themselves in and try and just play
9987s	some pure academic OverWatch cuz Valiant
9989s	Guardians look at their ult economy they
9991s	have got everything they could possibly
9993s	want the two big offensive ultimates and
9995s	the defensive one wika has to be perfect
9997s	with her sound barrier to try and match
9999s	it moving fish has been great with these
10001s	gravitic fluxes are they going to hit
10002s	another big one there's a wall to
10004s	section them off is the punish there
10006s	though oh the gravitic flux just to
10008s	dodge the pin the sound bear is so
10010s	perfectly timed for that ultimate but
10014s	now those are out of the picture Zep
10016s	will have the ant Matrix they want to
10017s	funnel Guardians in a specific alley but
10020s	that is what HQ wanted with this
10022s	blizzard in the May wall behind Kindred
10024s	they can't escape drainers were trying
10026s	to get in position for the a matrix and
10028s	walked into a trap it was it was a trap
10031s	laid specifically for Kindred and once
10032s	again the Jaws snap shut and she is
10034s	caught in and now here's another trap
10037s	come contest the bot we Dare You Valiant
10039s	Guardians have control they know that
10041s	drainers if they touch it all it will be
10043s	a suboptimal touch it doesn't look like
10045s	anybody fast enough is going to be able
10047s	to get there Kindred with the charges
10048s	able to get the touch keep overtime
10050s	alive they have the ults can they do
10052s	this it is now or never for the trainers
10056s	and the shatter at the ready and Valiant
10058s	are fine for drainers to keep pushing
10061s	this because that forces Kindred to take
10062s	more poke and the an Matrix comes up and
10065s	wh this B foul not able to jump out of
10067s	the grenade trainers have the 5v4 this
10069s	train has to keep going the May wall is
10071s	only going to delay them trainers climb
10073s	the stairs and they have a shatter this
10075s	could be what makes or breaks this push
10078s	for drainers while needing to leave one
10080s	person to contest but moving fish is up
10083s	there contesting so Kindred needs to
10084s	remove them by force the shatter may
10087s	have gotten some if maybe at all and
10089s	trainers are left without any big
10091s	ultimates maybe this blizzard if Eves
10094s	can even get it in time but wisp is
10096s	angry you took them out too early and
10099s	ders will be sleeping permanently
10101s	Valiant Guardians with the retake of a
10105s	lifetime have drained the drainers have
10108s	put him down the sink and Valiant
10110s	Guardians will move
10111s	on it is going to be that faded rematch
10115s	from the previous calling all heroes
10116s	minor it will be Valiant Guardians
10119s	versus Washington Timeless for our grand
10121s	finals matchup what a performance what a
10123s	show that drainers put on in even in
10127s	defeat keeping it exciting until the
10128s	last possible second and this
10130s	essentially right here oh sorry now this
10132s	is a little bit earlier but a very
10133s	similar picture actually towards the
10135s	very end where Kindred is trying to go
10137s	super aggressive because she knows she
10139s	has to that is the win condition that
10141s	drainers time and time again set up for
10143s	themselves she had to try and remove
10145s	somebody with the shatter but it didn't
10147s	find enough the immortality field was
10149s	good enough block enough peel came
10151s	through and she couldn't find purchase
10153s	for it and she gets punished without
10156s	that Reinhardt on the field whis pops
10158s	the overclock and suddenly it's just a
10160s	shooting gallery with no shield no tank
10162s	no big beefy health bar to absorb all
10164s	that damage only the dainty little
10166s	bodies of the Squishies that remain and
10169s	they they were swiftly evicted Valiant
10172s	Guardians they they did it they they
10174s	stopped the drain gang they finally
10176s	stopped the bleeding the Pain Train has
10179s	now left the station and it is not
10181s	coming back Al and Guardians we we
10184s	applauded their defense when it started
10185s	on Midtown where they just killed so
10188s	many minutes and killed trainers as well
10190s	but for so many minutes and it felt uh
10193s	this coloso Fel felt reminiscent of that
10195s	how valy Guardians defended that bridge
10197s	having moving fish contest the bot from
10199s	on top of the bridge to supporting Wisp
10202s	and their crazy Bastion mechanics to
10204s	stopping Kindred from I don't even know
10207s	yeah I think this was the ice block so
10209s	it was an ice block that denied a huge
10211s	win condition for drainers probably the
10213s	only one that was left and for Valiant
10215s	to win the fight as quickly as they did
10217s	before more ultimates came out their
10219s	defense is is what can be applauded here
10223s	we got to give huge shout outs to hkey
10224s	for blocking all of those shatters be it
10226s	with either the May wals or the ice
10228s	blocks she has I mean when you keep
10230s	going for the same thing eventually
10231s	you're going to get a little bit more
10232s	and more predictable unfortunately for
10233s	Kindred but I mean hke read her like a
10236s	book every time with those ice blocks
10238s	there was that one where again Caro did
10240s	kind of Aid in that as well and that's
10241s	where the team play of valiant Guardians
10243s	comes to the Forefront but the individ
10245s	idual Talent is definitely not something
10247s	to be sneezed at and what an individual
10249s	Talent hki has proven to be on the May
10252s	truly the bane of kindreds everywhere or
10255s	specifically on the side of drainers but
10257s	speaking of talent we've got a talent
10260s	from the side of alant Guardians it's
10261s	not gonna be HQ we actually want to talk
10263s	to aramori and see what her thoughts are
10266s	on the matter on the win over drainers
10268s	and on their March towards Grand finals
10270s	don't go anywhere we're going to throw
10271s	to a quick break we're going to get
10273s	Armory in here and uh he her thoughts

10581s	welcome back everybody drainers were
10584s	quite the Maelstrom but Valiant
10586s	Guardians they learned to adapt and
10588s	thrive in the chaos that drainers swed
10590s	and they bested them three to one to
10592s	punch their ticket to grand finals and
10595s	surely a key part of that was the
10597s	support player aramori the always lovely
10600s	aramori joining us for an interview how
10601s	are you doing today hi hi hi cie hi
10605s	lemon hi everyone hello I'm doing
10609s	SW I I want to kick things off by asking
10612s	you of course you know the the softball
10613s	question so how does it feel to be back
10616s	not only in another calling all heroes
10617s	tournament but to be punching your
10619s	ticket to the Grand finals for another
10621s	calling all heroes tournament well I'm
10624s	always very blessed to be playing in C I
10627s	love C I love all the players in C um
10630s	being back in Grand
10632s	finals y'all this is like my fourth time
10635s	being second in C okay having secured
10639s	second I have never won a calling all
10642s	heroes I need it to be my time today
10644s	hopefully today's got to be the day yeah
10647s	it's got to be the year of you I I'm I'm
10650s	think I've getting the Vibes based off
10652s	the match but speaking of that match
10654s	that was like based on the Swiss because
10657s	uh y'all lost to trainers right in Swiss
10659s	and now you beat them so what was
10661s	different between those two matches oh
10663s	to be to be completely complely honest I
10665s	was not playing for any of like the uh
10668s	Swiss Maps so having so you're the
10671s	difference got it yeah yeah just me no
10674s	I'm kidding my my team played really
10675s	well I believe it was just like hard
10677s	matchups um like we had a really hard
10681s	bracket from what I remember in Swiss um
10684s	but we were able to like pull it back
10685s	like this week for us was like really
10689s	intense scrims and B review and stuff
10691s	and of course like uh LEP our coach has
10693s	been helping so much um yeah I intense
10697s	coaching and intense VOD review and it
10699s	does show in your gameplay as well and I
10701s	want to talk a little bit about that
10702s	because trainers are a very difficult
10704s	team to play against as we've seen many
10706s	tried and many have failed so what was
10709s	the secret sauce that let you guys
10711s	finally put a stop to the Pain Train uh
10714s	well we had a long discussion about
10716s	running the Arisa Genji Bastion comp
10721s	versus the sigma like May style comp
10725s	and we just ultimately decided that the
10727s	sigma just kind of fits our play style a
10729s	lot more and kind of lets you know fish
10732s	do what they want and and be moving be
10734s	the moving fish um so we ultimately
10737s	decided to go with that and fish has not
10739s	disappointed us I don't know if you guys
10741s	could see the the stats at the end of
10742s	that but fish they ended up ending the
10745s	map with like 13k damage which was just
10749s	insane just your whole team played so
10752s	well and just it looked like you all had
10753s	to adapt a lot around just kind of the
10755s	the symmetra shenanigans the Reinhardt
10758s	stuff and y'all punished Kindred really
10760s	well but how will you do against your
10763s	finals opponent now Washington Timeless
10765s	who haven't dropped a game I know you
10767s	said it's the year of you but please
10768s	elaborate what do you think about this
10770s	final I definitely think it's going to
10772s	be a very interesting and tough match um
10776s	yeah like you said they have not dropped
10778s	a map for the entire Series so far so
10781s	it's definitely looking like they are
10783s	the like Giants to beat but I think
10786s	there's like I think they have a really
10788s	good foundation but I think there are
10790s	cracks in it I think I think it's
10792s	possible for us to come out and and win
10794s	we just have to play play our game and
10796s	play well and you know trust each other
10799s	and I think we can I believe I believe
10802s	in you from what I have seen today I
10804s	thoroughly believe that if you trust in
10805s	each other believe in each other you are
10807s	capable of doing just that but surely
10809s	first you're going to have to have a
10810s	long talk with your team about just how
10812s	it is you're going to pull off such a Fe
10814s	so we're going to send you off but
10815s	before we do do you have any last minute

10895s	we've seen top to bottom all weekend
10897s	long all weekend last weekend there is
10899s	so much to love here so much action and
10901s	so much raw untapped potential in some
10903s	of these these players and some of the
10905s	OverWatch League teams have caught on to
10908s	that and decided hey maybe we need to
10909s	promote these guys maybe we need to
10911s	elevate some of the people in this scene
10913s	because we will all rise together if we
10916s	do just that so thank you to Toronto
10917s	Defiance as well for being among those
10919s	to see the potential in calling all
10921s	heroes but chat we only have one more

11232s	welcome back Gamers to calling all
11235s	heroes rise together minor 3 hosted of
11238s	course by Toronto defiant my name is CB
11240s	I am joined of course by the lovely
11243s	lemon kiwi and it is Grand finals time
11246s	true to the nature of calling all heroes
11249s	all of the heroes answered the call 17
11251s	teams came to play and we have Bid
11253s	Farewell to all but the two very best
11256s	who are ready to go head-to-head for
11258s	that cash prize and those circuit points
11261s	yeah Toronto versus Valiant or why did I
11264s	say Toronto Washington versus Valiant
11266s	hosted by Toronto there there just so
11268s	much out representation here um I'm
11271s	excited for this final 2500 Canadian on
11274s	the line if we can take a look at the
11275s	bracket to show this journey because
11277s	what's important what I want you to know
11279s	all notice is Washington Timeless
11281s	haven't dropped a game will their armor
11284s	ever be cracked Valley and Guardians
11286s	seem to think that it can be exploited I
11289s	I I want to go ahead and apologize I
11290s	have erly been calling them the
11292s	Washington Timeless this whole time when
11293s	yesterday I coined the phrase Washington
11295s	Flawless because yeah they haven't
11297s	dropped a map all throughout the bracket
11299s	nor did they drop a single map in Swiss
11302s	no one has even made them bleed much
11305s	less been able to topple the tyrants
11306s	that they are have a look at this
11308s	graphic right here I don't even need to
11310s	say anything this tells the entire story
11312s	it's their story to write and you'll
11316s	notice that second match they two Ed the
11319s	Valiant guardians but you know this was
11321s	pretty early in the Swiss stage you know
11323s	noticed that Valiant Guardians didn't
11325s	have aramori and maybe it's an aramori
11327s	differential because hey Valiant
11329s	Guardians have have blossomed and
11331s	improved so much from the Swiss to this
11333s	point I mean they were even able to beat
11335s	drainers who were an opponent that gave
11337s	them a hard time before so I'm sure
11339s	they're studied up on Washington
11341s	Timeless and what they like to run but
11343s	you and I were talking before the break
11345s	that this is going to be a really fun
11347s	tank matchup absolutely moving fish
11349s	versus sniper it never ever disappoints
11352s	these are two players that once again on
11354s	their teams in contenders and Collegiate
11356s	throughout all of their careers have
11358s	been Sigma Specialists brought on
11360s	specifically to play that hero on
11362s	circuit Royale and now that we are in a
11363s	sigma meta they are getting the
11365s	opportunity to fully Blossom before our
11367s	very eyes but which of the two is going
11370s	to get the better in the past it has
11372s	been sniper maybe today it will be
11374s	moving fish but there's not just a sigma
11376s	head-to head that we need to keep in
11378s	mind the May head-to-head is also
11380s	something that I want to keep in mind
11381s	because buns may play has been
11385s	impeccable one of the greatest May
11387s	players that I've seen in calling all
11389s	heroes some incredible walls every bit
11391s	as good as hkey was in the previous
11393s	series if not better that's going to be
11395s	a back and forth to
11397s	watch yeah bun I've been a huge fan for
11400s	her I need to sign up as her agent
11402s	because I've been trying to sell her to
11404s	OverWatch league for so long and I think
11407s	she's right on the precipice of you know
11409s	being a woman in OverWatch League that
11412s	could just dominate um so I'm looking
11413s	forward to seeing her career Blossom of
11415s	course there's also a thing with tanks
11418s	choosing Mercy as their as their profile
11420s	picture here so uh sniper you're goofy I
11424s	like patch yeah that's true yeah Mercy
11428s	Mercy's just a buff now we've made her a
11429s	tank we've given her 12 24inch pythons
11432s	on both arms and now she is she is scary
11435s	she's frightening she's quite imposing
11437s	look at that face that is the face of of
11440s	a coldblooded killer right there and
11442s	that's exactly what Valiant Guardians
11444s	are going to need to be if they want to
11446s	take down the Washington Flawless SL
11448s	Timeless we just saw this roster in
11451s	action and it's an incredible roster
11454s	they're playing together very well
11455s	aramori slotting back in has paid
11457s	dividends for this team and you know we
11460s	can call her the Difference Maker but
11461s	any one of these players is capable of
11463s	making the difference we've seen big
11466s	plays come out from every single one of
11468s	these names even in just the previous
11469s	series let alone the entirety of this
11471s	calling all heroes tournament
11473s	and we highlighted Carol on that Lucio
11476s	and how good he was at enabling moving
11478s	fish at really speeding them around and
11480s	making those you know go Allin type of
11484s	calls Carol was really good about that
11486s	but going up against Halo who she has
11489s	been astounding her career as a support
11491s	player doesn't get talked enough just
11494s	talked enough about um especially for
11496s	marized genders Halo has been just a
11498s	groundbreaking support player in the
11500s	scene so that is going to be a really a
11502s	tough match up between Caro and and Halo
11505s	on that Lucio and how what kind of calls
11508s	are they going to make and is it going
11509s	to be the right
11510s	one you know I this might get like a
11512s	little personal here really quick but
11513s	without players like Halo already being
11515s	in the scene it is uh safe to say I
11518s	might not have felt as comfortable
11519s	getting into the scene as I am now so I
11521s	want to thank her for that but also I
11523s	want to thank her for being a phenomenal
11524s	player cuz she has also been quite the
11527s	Difference Maker for Washington Timeless
11528s	being picked up between tournaments from
11531s	Valiant Guardians that's quite a coup to
11533s	be able to take her away from her former
11535s	team and utilize her to such great
11537s	extent to dominate your old team and
11540s	every other team that dares step in your
11542s	way it's been a phenomenal thing to see
11544s	she knows Valiant Guardians well Valiant
11547s	Guardians have to be one step ahead here
11549s	because it feels like they have been
11550s	behind the entire time Washington
11551s	Timeless like I said it's their story to
11553s	write it's their game to play it's their
11555s	game to lose do Valley and Guardians
11557s	have a curveball they can throw them H
11559s	well it's their bracket to win it seems
11562s	but Washington and also have the choice
11564s	of map of where they want to go to First
11567s	and just reminder there is no bracket
11568s	reset there is no plus one this is just
11570s	a vanilla best of five it's an allout
11573s	Showdown where Valiant Rose from these
11576s	Ashes to see if they can be the first
11579s	team and all of calling all heroes to
11580s	take a game and maybe even a series if
11583s	they can go all the way and well
11585s	Washington have locked in their choice
11587s	and they want to go to Antarctic
11588s	Peninsula this I think is actually kind
11591s	of a curious Choice here because I
11593s	mentioned how both of the tank players
11594s	are Sigma Specialists you would think
11596s	that they would want to go to something
11597s	where they can play the sigma granted
11599s	there's not very many control points
11600s	that are very conducive to it but I like
11603s	to think that there is an opportunity
11605s	for one of these teams to come out with
11606s	a rush composition I don't think that's
11608s	what we're going to see but Antarctic
11610s	Peninsula is very very Rush favor and so
11613s	we'll have to see I think it's going to
11615s	be Sigma V Sigma yet again but it's
11618s	always opportunity for one of those
11620s	aforementioned curveballs and you talked
11623s	about buns May at the beginning of this
11626s	whole show and yes maybe I'm sad to see
11628s	her not on a hit scan on on a more
11630s	utility based hero cuz that potential is
11633s	all there but a really good May player
11635s	on Antarctic is so huge there are so
11637s	many small choke points that may can get
11640s	complete isolation on a tank or maybe
11642s	more on and if bun is as good of a may
11645s	as you say she is that could be a huge
11648s	Boon for Washington absolutely I mean
11650s	especially on Icebreaker where it is all
11653s	about controlling those angles there's
11654s	not a whole lot of high ground to
11655s	leverage there so you're just trying to
11658s	use those chokes use those May Wells to
11659s	section off the enemy tank or section
11661s	off the entire enemy backline away from
11663s	any sort of protection move in swiftly
11666s	and eliminate them that's May 101
11668s	especially in the rush mirror even in
11670s	the sigma variation not much has changed
11674s	but one thing that I think is changing
11675s	is people are becoming more and more
11676s	aware of just how good at that job bun
11679s	is you call out you know her hit scan
11682s	prowess and the level of flexibility
11684s	that she brings is showing in her M play
11686s	in her ability to hit the walls at the
11689s	right time use the blizzards to maximum
11691s	Effectiveness her may play has been a
11693s	driving force in Washington timeless'
11695s	success but it is indeed a five person
11698s	job and all five members of Washington
11700s	Timeless have been Flawless this entire
11703s	time it's going to be a good match let
11705s	us know in chat who your cheering on for
11707s	this calling all heroes minor 3 Grand
11710s	Final with $2500 canadi
11713s	on the line and of course circuit points
11715s	to help them qualify for more down the
11718s	line it's Washington versus Valiant and
11721s	maybe some beef can be settled in terms
11723s	of the brand I don't know and I did not
11726s	know that turret could do that so I'm
11727s	learning so much from this maybe the
11729s	beef will be settled but nothing will
11731s	settle this turret down it's as jittery
11732s	as they come it's as excited as we are
11734s	to get into this final game here uh
11737s	we're going to kick it off with hey it's
11739s	that sigv Sig mirror I don't think
11741s	aramori is going to stay on that life
11743s	Weaver I also don't think car is going
11745s	to stay on this Moira there we go that's
11747s	much better this is much more what I
11749s	expected to see no variations just the
11751s	mirror it's what both of these teams
11753s	have been successful at thus far why
11755s	change it up
11757s	now we go towards the point it's all
11760s	about these May isolation walls and you
11762s	have to be clinical at executing these
11765s	see that moving fish is already eating
11767s	an accretion trying to take control of
11768s	this top side and snos is taking a lot
11771s	of poke too has to be careful where is
11774s	sniper to step up and Lead this charge
11777s	and most importantly enable your Bastion
11779s	to move forward it's the same thing as
11781s	we saw the last time these two teams
11783s	collided I mean it was Washington time
11785s	was positioning themselves where Valiant
11787s	Guardians have to go through them in
11788s	order to get to the point so even though
11790s	this fight drags on and even though Z
11792s	Falls Washington Timeless do get the
11793s	first
11794s	cap works out for Washington they seem
11797s	just pretty organized there at the start
11799s	and look at whiz not afraid to take that
11802s	point back so yeah Washington were a
11804s	little bit split I meant to say Valiant
11805s	seemed more organized at least playing
11807s	off their Sigma and it pays off and
11809s	again you know losing Z there is kind of
11811s	the worst possible scenario for
11812s	Washington Timeless because there's no
11813s	real way to keep your Sigma alive
11815s	there's no real way to keep your Bastion
11816s	alive and those are two of the most
11818s	important pieces in this puzzle so yeah
11820s	take that down you can just March right
11822s	on forward Valiant Guardians yeah they
11824s	only can seed 11% before they have
11826s	before they take the point for
11827s	themselves and now WatchON Timeless have
11830s	to go through
11831s	them well s is just removed and that's
11834s	so much damage gone you can't retake
11837s	with just a free roaming bash of like
11839s	whisp running around and Washington are
11841s	now getting surrounded moving fish is
11844s	splitting them up and is getting kills
11846s	out of it Bali and are just farming them
11848s	it's a great wall there from Chloe to
11850s	kind of stifle the aggression and a
11851s	great window that's going to come out
11852s	from Z but all that's really going to do
11854s	is back Valiant Guardians up but they
11855s	back right into the gravitic flux from
11857s	sniper so close to hitting that
11859s	accretion I like the idea of moving fish
11861s	the Blizzard from Chloe to on top
11864s	Washington only get slowed slightly
11866s	there by the artillery of whis but this
11868s	fight is all for Washington they've
11870s	killed two or three but it's about how
11872s	long Bion want to contest here on this
11874s	point like that sniper is identified
11877s	where that Bastion is you got to be able
11879s	to track those cool downs and well looks
11881s	like they've denied a lot of damage from
11883s	them and Washington take the point back
11885s	62% for Valiant Guardians is not
11887s	terrible but they don't have the sound
11889s	barrier and Haley does have one of her
11892s	own so Washington Timeless they've got
11894s	the defensive tools they need to match
11895s	that uh that that capture percentage
11898s	there and Valiant Guardians they're
11899s	going to have to try and find away in
11901s	here leverage their very scant ult
11903s	Advantage there but that sound barrier
11905s	from Haley that's coming up close that's
11907s	the window once she has it that window
11909s	is slammed shut and washed in Timeless
11911s	they're going to hold O The Matrix right
11914s	in Washington Space they will just drop
11916s	off that bridge Balian will be
11918s	comfortable for the moment they just
11919s	have to dodge this artillery from the
11922s	Bastion like chicken but Valiant seem to
11924s	be okay on that High Ground now they're
11926s	looking to flip this point sniper wants
11928s	to deny that steps right up and while
11930s	sniper does that well the rest of their
11932s	backline gets hit by that gravitic flux
11934s	which forces out Haley's sound barrier
11937s	but Washington are running out of
11938s	options running out of Health time how
11940s	we're able to make sure that sniper
11942s	lives throughout that and that is such
11943s	an important anchor for Washington
11945s	Timeless and now they've got a win
11947s	Condition it's this graphitic flux takes
11950s	care of
11951s	car
11957s	and you called sniper such an important
11959s	anchor well Anchors Away lift them up
11961s	into the sky slam them right back down
11963s	that's a great gravitic flux there from
11964s	sniper I mean Valiant Guardians found
11966s	the flip in the midst of that so
11969s	87% that's pretty big actually I think
11972s	Washington Timeless had they not
11973s	conceded the point there would be in one
11974s	fight territory Vali and Guardians I
11977s	mean they have a little bit of time not
11979s	much but a little bit of time to build
11981s	up to a sizable ult Bank and you're
11982s	looking at chlo's blizzard that's coming
11985s	up right about now that is going to be
11987s	the main tool Wasing Timeless have it
11989s	cannot get eaten it cannot be countered
11992s	and it has to find some blood surprised
11994s	that Washington don't even want to hold
11996s	The High Ground there on the left side
11999s	maybe just trying not to get maywald
12001s	away they can now move around it
12002s	Washington just have to dodge away from
12004s	aramor an Matrix Chloe's on the flank
12007s	looking for a blizzard do they hear this
12009s	coming it's placed at the feet of
12010s	aramori do they have him more
12013s	doesn't seem to be so with the sound
12015s	bear of Carol bought a lot of time but
12017s	with aramori missing I'm not sure
12019s	Valiant had the heals and moving fish
12021s	feels the pain because of this
12024s	Washington with such a creative flank a
12027s	winning play out of chloi will be giving
12029s	Washington round one I mean and it comes
12033s	down to that early pick off there onto
12034s	whis who had the uh the artillery strike
12036s	but wasn't able to leverage it and
12038s	without your Bastion on the field the
12040s	ant Matrix that came out was uh not
12042s	amping a whole lot it was amping a
12044s	couple of icicles from H key and not
12046s	much else Chloe just goes in with the
12048s	blizzard forces Bali and Guardians to
12050s	take the fight off of the point while
12052s	the rest of Washington Timeless just
12053s	March forward take space and lock
12056s	Valiant Guardians out of even touching
12058s	the point there again I mean they had
12061s	the time to try and build up to
12063s	something did Valiant guardians but that
12064s	kill from wisps just ran out the clock
12067s	instantly took it all away from them and
12069s	now Ian Wasington Timeless they're
12071s	looking poised to take this one as we go
12072s	onto Icebreaker no compositional swaps
12075s	and they got to be feeling themselves
12076s	cuz that was a pretty decisive fight win
12078s	at the tail end there Valiant looked
12080s	like they were dominating at the start
12082s	of that round but the retake off of
12084s	sniper flux was the next level to punish
12086s	and this was a tank match up we told you
12088s	all the watchh looks like the grenade
12089s	might have popped a moving fish into the
12091s	line of sight of this Bastion snor is
12094s	Unleashed Bali are trying to hide on the
12096s	point but they get booped back into the
12098s	line of damage Bali and have only
12100s	dropped one but that Bastion missing is
12102s	critical Washington Timeless running
12105s	them over like they're bulldozers and
12107s	Vali and just can't seem to escape
12110s	there's some good Shield usage of moving
12112s	fish to at least get some old charge
12114s	going but Washington played that first
12116s	fight so well you cannot run you cannot
12120s	hide sosler is inevitable and even when
12122s	you think you're safe Haley is there to
12124s	Boop you right back into the line of
12126s	fire and all of that Bastion damage has
12128s	been sn's emmo this entire tournament
12130s	and they're showing why showing how
12132s	effective and oppressive this hero is in
12135s	the current meta and now once again
12137s	watch them Timeless they're going to
12138s	take an early cap here Valiant Guardians
12140s	have to try and find a way in but when
12141s	snaza is firing at all cylinders how do
12144s	you break through this the ant Matrix
12147s	from Z and how this is used important
12148s	but RM already knows this is coming you
12150s	can track this off of your own ultimate
12152s	H key exposes themselves looking for a
12155s	May
12156s	isolation opens themselves up to the
12158s	line of fire of Washington who are now
12160s	going to hunt for more stagger kills
12162s	morality from aramore is well placed but
12164s	sniper won't let you run the grab flux
12166s	right in valiant's face so disrespectful
12169s	disrespectful in Washington also wipe
12172s	them and you called out Z's amp Matrix
12175s	but they didn't even need to use the amp
12176s	Matrix did Washington Timeless in fact
12178s	they Ed the gravitic flux just to St
12180s	just to keep the pressure up keep the
12182s	aggression going it was that early
12184s	pickoff onto hkey that spell disaster
12186s	for Valiant Guardians and they haven't
12188s	been able to successfully buy their way
12189s	back into this matchup they have all of
12192s	the old can possibly want so what it's
12194s	going to have to be now or never but
12196s	sosler wants to run out the clock a
12198s	little bit more here comes the artillery
12199s	strike who is it targeting it was
12201s	everyone behind moving fish you got
12203s	isolated by the May wol there of H key
12206s	or from Chloe I should say and then the
12208s	blizzard on Top This is disgusting
12211s	Washington know how to initiate early
12213s	fights now H ke's been discovered and
12215s	now just has the blizzard to see if they
12217s	can get a one toone trade they are going
12219s	for the touch it's a little bit early
12222s	and H will be from that last fight if
12226s	there even is one yeah there should be
12228s	okay with the sound from Carol there is
12230s	going to be a touch from Valiant
12231s	guardians but he has to quickly vacate
12232s	the premises as there is a lot of
12233s	pressure that kitchen is a little bit
12235s	too hot and Valiant Guardians they can't
12238s	find their way back in Haley is okay the
12242s	sound did go off on the rest of
12244s	Washington and they're slowly but surely
12246s	taking this fight I thought Valiant had
12249s	messed this up but yeah they kind of
12251s	have Washington Timeless 100 to zero
12255s	what dominance coming out of map one I
12257s	think that might have been a gravitic
12258s	flux from moving fish just to try and
12260s	get over the wall there to touch and it
12262s	it didn't really find a whole lot cuz
12264s	you're Flying Blind there you don't know
12265s	where everyone is you don't know where
12267s	to focus that gravitic flux to get the
12269s	most out of it and even if you had
12271s	caught all five members of Washington
12273s	Timeless they had all the tools they
12275s	could have possibly needed haly was
12276s	there with the sound barrier kept
12277s	everybody alive there's no real good
12280s	angle to leverage that ant Matrix and
12282s	Valiant Guardians despite having a
12284s	wealth of tools in the toolbox were
12286s	never once given a chance to use it
12288s	there on Icebreaker as close as Labs was
12291s	Icebreaker was not at all not at all
12295s	close that was all Washington timeless'
12297s	Point yeah that second round and that
12300s	first fight is what was so key being
12302s	able to defend Antarctic is important
12305s	the first round Valiant looked like they
12306s	had a strong start as soon as they
12308s	extended out to go for Stager kills
12310s	sniper hit him with a flock and that was
12313s	what allowed Washington Timeless to
12314s	retake and eventually defend it until
12316s	completion while then Washington on the
12319s	second round had some beautiful boops
12321s	out of Haley I think she was able to
12323s	Boop people into her own Bastion
12325s	Washington also at sosler who might have
12327s	hit some lucky uh Bastion grenades that
12329s	might have booted some people into the
12330s	line of fire too so Washington just
12333s	nailing that first fight in round two
12335s	the solidified that map it felt like I
12338s	mean when we talk about how successful
12340s	Haley has been the plays that she's been
12341s	set setting up the boops that have been
12343s	coming through time and time again and
12344s	again what a coup it was for Washington
12346s	Timeless to to snag that player from
12349s	valy and Guardians and it's paying off
12351s	Caro is no slouch either he's been a
12353s	phenomenal Lucio player and has had some
12355s	huge plays thus far but Haley has been a
12357s	step ahead especially with plays like
12360s	this and I also want to highlight snaza
12363s	who had a phenomenal like I think double
12365s	the nearly double the amount of damage
12367s	as wisp we're going to go on hyperfixate
12369s	here as well on Z who look at look at
12372s	the healing done 11k 4K damage that's
12375s	not even phenomenal stats for a Baptist
12377s	but the one that sticks out to me only
12380s	one
12381s	death that is insane they obviously knew
12383s	when to leave the fight when to leave
12385s	the party but what's something that's
12387s	not talked enough about is the timing of
12389s	ant Matrix especially in a Bastion V
12392s	sort of Sigma Bastion V Bastion Sigma V
12395s	Sigma the ant Matrix is often what's
12396s	going to crack that egg and when you
12398s	have someone as experienced as he is and
12400s	obviously how survival able um they have
12403s	been Z is someone that can really give
12406s	um Washington Timeless a big win
12409s	condition especially in the early fights
12410s	because ant Matrix is going to be
12411s	usually one of the first ultimates you
12413s	get it is a way to crack that Egg and I
12415s	know a thing or two about having my egg
12416s	cracked it happened to me and it'll
12418s	happen to you too dear
12419s	viewer regardless of yeah that ant
12421s	Matrix timing is everything and I I
12423s	think we even kind of briefly touched on
12425s	when that early pickoff came out onto
12427s	wisps I mean there's no real good time
12429s	to throw down your ant Matrix when you
12430s	don't have your Bastion in play on the
12431s	field ready to go and I think that just
12434s	comes down again like all members of
12435s	Washington Timeless understanding the
12437s	assignment knowing exactly when to use
12438s	their cool Downs finding those
12440s	opportunities to find those pickoffs
12441s	that they really shouldn't be able to
12443s	find but seizing the opportunities that
12445s	are presented to them Valiant Guardians
12446s	have to stop presenting those
12448s	opportunities they have to be a little
12450s	bit more clean but hey they dropped
12452s	control to drainers I believe in the
12454s	previous Series so maybe they are
12457s	another team that just doesn't scrim
12458s	control when we go to our hybrid map I'm
12461s	hoping vant Guardians have a little bit
12463s	more to
12464s	say and I think the only thing that
12466s	Valiant Guardians really have to work on
12468s	is ult tracking um which is not that
12471s	difficult to do in their case but I
12473s	think the one key miss that happened was
12475s	in round one not knowing when um sniper
12479s	had gravitic flux and then putting
12481s	themselves in an awkward situation but
12484s	it is what it is valali and Guardians I
12486s	think put up a really good fight in the
12488s	first round and it's just being able to
12491s	retake on Antarctic is incredibly
12493s	difficult for any team so valy and
12495s	Guardians I imagine want to return to
12497s	Midtown which is a map that they were
12500s	very strong at of course when we saw
12502s	their defense in the last series but see
12504s	what they op for Solomon R PR is saying
12507s	take a wild guess for map 2 and that
12509s	does also lead me to agree with you I
12511s	think it's going to be Midtown that's my
12512s	guess but Solomon has gas lit me before
12515s	okay not this time not this time you
12517s	live another day Solomon it is indeed
12518s	Midtown thank you very much for that and
12521s	I'm it's interesting because early on we
12524s	saw a lot of numani in the Swiss rounds
12526s	but it has trended a lot more towards
12528s	Midtown and suddenly Midtown is all you
12530s	and I have gotten to see today a lot of
12532s	teams really like Midtown for this Sigma
12534s	mirror yeah I think the big difference
12536s	in this Sigma mirror is that well
12538s	Valiant didn't really use too much
12540s	symmetra from what we saw it was more
12543s	them knowing how to deal with triner
12545s	symmetra so how are they going to want
12547s	to maneuver that Sigma around especially
12549s	on attack of Midtown yeah it's kind of
12551s	like a slow grind towards the point but
12553s	how you maneuver a Bastion on top of
12556s	this very Bridge of point B is the most
12558s	difficult thing your option is to either
12560s	cross the road and go into the right
12562s	side Corridor or try your hand at just
12565s	going through the left staircase
12566s	although you'll be a lot more exposed to
12568s	poke that way there are many options of
12570s	approaching this uh Bridge control
12573s	without a symmetra but that's usually
12574s	the most difficult part in attacking
12577s	something that you said about map one
12578s	that I do kind of want to highlight
12579s	bring back to the Forefront and
12581s	extrapolate at on is that often times
12583s	Valiant Guardians did not know when
12585s	sniper had a gravitic flux and there is
12587s	a good reason for that sniper does a
12589s	absolute insane amount of damage and
12592s	gets a ton of support from the backline
12594s	while doing it so they have gravitic
12595s	flux seemingly off cool down pay
12597s	attention to that check mark it will be
12599s	up more often than you think it is and
12601s	when you don't see it coming and we are
12603s	not prepared for it much like I didn't
12605s	see this oo coming and I wasn't prepared
12607s	for it can I get some oos in the chat
12609s	please and thank you when you don't see
12612s	that gravitic flux coming and you're not
12614s	prepared for it you just kind of fall
12616s	over so Wasington Timeless you know they
12618s	have no problems taking things slowly
12620s	being up to build up to that wind
12623s	condition yeah I think sniper's been
12625s	incredibly productive as a sigma and
12628s	snaza is just a perfect compliment Khloe
12631s	going on the flank like that actually
12634s	she's just insane and the fact that
12636s	Balian didn't see that coming that was a
12638s	game-winning play on the round two of
12640s	Antarctic we'll see what kind of
12642s	creative plays Washington can go for and
12645s	they do maybe want to keep in mind of
12646s	that left uh back alley which not a lot
12649s	of teams use with this type of
12651s	composition so no symmetra in play
12654s	valian are just going to have to brute
12655s	force their way in I have seen a couple
12657s	teams crack this defense by utilizing
12659s	that back alley but typically with a
12660s	more poke heavy composition on the DPS
12662s	something like a sojourn or even an
12664s	Inari but we're still not seeing that no
12666s	deviations just pure mirror these two
12668s	teams playing what they're the most
12669s	comfortable with but WatchON time feel a
12672s	little bit more comfortable with it and
12673s	Valiant Guardians cannot comfortably get
12675s	their way in here you don't often get to
12678s	see an attacking team push that top
12680s	tunnel and that was nice to try and Boop
12682s	the Bastion off that kind of high ground
12684s	position on the stairs it it was
12686s	successful at displacing but not
12688s	necessarily turning a fight in the favor
12690s	of valiant who are still struggling to
12692s	escape apparently it's really hard to
12695s	escape when Washington Timeless do not
12696s	let you this is again some more of that
12698s	pure unbridled aggression that is going
12700s	to make it so ult for Valley and
12702s	Guardians to even get to the choke even
12704s	sit pretty as wisp sits really pretty up
12706s	on top of that may wall and a couple
12708s	quick icicles from Chloe I mean we talk
12710s	about how good she is on May but that's
12712s	just a flex right there to wall off a
12714s	Bastion in spawn and then hit the double
12716s	icicle to the Dome a little bit annoying
12719s	If your whisp going to continue to slow
12721s	down the pace as about a minute and a
12723s	half has already bled off the time bank
12724s	and Valiant Guardians don't have
12726s	anything to show for it yeah you have to
12728s	play these Corners very smartly if
12729s	you're both of these teams you know ant
12730s	Matrix is up and if you're caught just
12732s	one second out of it in the out in the
12735s	open you can be killed but Valiant
12737s	thought they could move up to place that
12738s	an Matrix they walk into the gravitic
12740s	flux which got HP low and now they
12743s	escape into the hallway but Chloe's not
12745s	going to let you do that plac is the May
12747s	wall and the blister valant are in
12750s	shbl and Wasington Timeless like they
12753s	have the ult advantage they are not
12754s	currently aware of koo's whereabouts he
12756s	goes in for a cap but Haley is there to
12758s	contest and maybe a friendly Lucio 1 V
12760s	one no okay no you have you have found
12763s	no friends here car back to spawn that's
12764s	where the rest of your friends are take
12766s	another collap coach go back at it
12768s	Washton Timeless have no problem
12770s	investing ults and pressing the
12771s	advantage when they know they have it
12773s	but that said they have now handed an
12775s	ult advantage over to Valiant Guardians
12777s	the question is can they leverage it
12779s	will they be given an opportunity to
12780s	utilize it or will another early pick
12783s	completely wipe that off the table Yeah
12785s	because haly used sound barrier this
12787s	gravitic flux could be huge you dodg to
12789s	grab flux you go for
12791s	thinking they don't have immortality
12793s	that was the correct call out of moving
12795s	fish but you lose your own fashion in
12796s	the process and moving fish doesn't have
12799s	enough support here or a shield to stand
12801s	behind just when you thought valian had
12803s	a good initiative taking out one of the
12805s	biggest Healers of Washington Val it
12807s	still crumble under the pressure it's
12809s	kind of counterintuitive but it does
12811s	work out the way Washington Timeless
12812s	just split off there so yeah the
12814s	gravitic flux only catches Z which is
12816s	potentially the highest value Target and
12818s	they take Z down before they're even
12820s	able to hit the ground so they don't
12821s	even even have to worry about whether or
12822s	not the immortality field was there
12823s	nullify that possibility but they failed
12825s	to capitalize on that pick because the
12827s	rest of Washington Timeless just swarm
12830s	them Valiant Guardians still have the
12831s	ult advantage and still have yet to
12833s	successfully leverage it be a big oh I
12836s	love the jump coming coming out of Z you
12838s	avoid the splash damage you you take the
12840s	risk of going or getting hit by the
12842s	direct but valian still don't get enough
12845s	damage in and as H key steps up they're
12847s	removed you don't have a blizzard wind
12849s	conditioning car's already popped the
12850s	sound barrier so Valiant feel committed
12853s	in this fight and now as they're exiting
12855s	they're getting May walled off by Chloe
12857s	this has been so clinical out of
12859s	Washington Timeless and now you truly
12861s	understand why they haven't lost the
12863s	game all calling all heroes and today
12866s	they might not this might not be the map
12868s	that they dropped there's that blizzard
12869s	coming out from HQ but it's just to get
12871s	them to the choke not even through it
12872s	and she gets punished for it ridic flux
12874s	just to slam anybody that dares try to
12876s	step up from sniper sosler is melting
12879s	down everybody 7 seconds left and
12881s	Washington Timeless are not letting
12883s	Valley and Guardians have even an
12885s	inch no one will be there to touch and
12888s	that'll be the end of that attack
12890s	because
12891s	Haley has the music over
12894s	there she's playing a Death March for
12897s	Valiant Guardians
12899s	there that
12901s	was this is a map that exposes just
12905s	which team is the better Sigma
12906s	composition I think Valiant had some
12908s	good openings off the graph flux just
12911s	unfortunately just kept losing a member
12913s	once they stepped through the archway
12915s	and what I loved about Washington is
12918s	their respect of space they are not
12919s	afraid to keep stepping back stepping
12921s	back and the fight really never took
12923s	place towards the point Vali and
12925s	struggled just to get through the choke
12927s	yeah the only person from the entirety
12929s	of alien Guardians that even set foot on
12931s	the point was Caro and that was not
12933s	supposed to happen at all and was
12935s	swiftly deal dealt with so it it's it's
12938s	just nothing it's a non- push and now
12939s	Valley and Guardians you know they're
12941s	either going to go down to match point
12942s	already set Washington Timeless up for
12945s	success to just walk away with the whole
12946s	thing or they have to full hold and
12948s	force a draw so that we go forward here
12951s	and in order to force that draw you have
12953s	to play near Perfection we talk about
12955s	the tempo that Washington Timeless set
12957s	they're not afraid to slow it down when
12959s	they need to and step on the gas when
12960s	it's time to and you know once sniper
12963s	has a gravitic flux that's when it's
12964s	time to step on the gas so all Timeless
12966s	have to do is buy time build up to those
12969s	ults and even if not the flux chlo's
12972s	blizzard is coming up just as fast
12974s	you've got the backliners pumping out
12976s	all the healing to have their support
12977s	ultimates up ready to go all the time
12979s	Washington Timeless this is easy mode
12981s	for them and I think if you're Valiant
12984s	you can also learn to just take an L
12986s	Washington are not afraid to use ult
12988s	just to stagger you so if valian are
12990s	okay with losing those fights and make
12991s	sure you don't invest anything there
12993s	then that's how they can win based off
12995s	of how valian can win based off of their
12997s	own ultimates but there's a first May
12998s	wall there from H key kind of isolates
13000s	sniper down to half Health Valiant
13003s	holding close on this right side bridge
13005s	but this allows Washington to cross and
13006s	take some cover on the fire truck now
13008s	Valiant have cornered themselves snipers
13010s	putting on the pressure but very low has
13012s	the immortality there of Z but a lot of
13015s	important cool downs from Washington are
13016s	gone and they're stepping on The Point
13018s	Washington only need 33% and Chloe
13021s	brings a lot of attention towards
13023s	herself and Valiant remove her by force
13026s	and Washington can't keep the the push
13028s	going Haley is the first to fall and now
13030s	valian cardies can breathe a sigh of
13032s	relief cuz I'm sure they clenched once
13034s	they saw that capture percentage ticking
13035s	up and realized in real time oh we can
13038s	only like if we give up even a tick it's
13040s	over they did also lose aramori so
13042s	Washington Timeless have an opportunity
13043s	to retake some space here and once
13045s	aramori is back that window will close
13047s	but speaking of Windows Z's got one what
13050s	an amazing May wall to deny a lot of the
13052s	value of that amp Matrix Washington like
13054s	we said it's a slow grind you got to
13057s	take care of wisp this basion is
13059s	emerging through the Atri sniper it's in
13062s	the name strikes them down and
13065s	Washington will be going to match point
13067s	and there's those fireworks nothing but
13070s	celebrations coming out of our number
13071s	one seed and it's it's just like I said
13074s	you know all that really needs to happen
13076s	is WatchON Timeless have to buy their
13078s	time play slow and build up to that
13080s	gravitic flux cuz once sniper has that
13082s	it is the death nail in the coffin for
13085s	Valiant Guardians and there is only one
13087s	nail left Washington Timeless has set
13090s	themselves up on a match point Valiant
13092s	Guardians whatever it is that they've
13094s	been trying has not worked and this
13096s	Sigma mirror is just not it Chief I know
13099s	that moving fish is something of a sigma
13101s	specialist but right now they're just
13102s	kind of getting outdone by the overall
13105s	team play from Washington Timeless to
13107s	set sniper up for Success sniper I mean
13110s	had three gravitic fluxes across the
13112s	entirety of that map that doesn't sound
13113s	like a whole lot but moving fish only
13116s	got one and that was on Valiant
13118s	Guardians attack which did go the full
13119s	four minutes but Washton Timeless they
13122s	didn't even need that much time it only
13124s	took one one and done for Sniper to get
13126s	the job that's a disrespect from
13129s	Washington the spawn touching the spawn
13132s	Walling I didn't even see that that
13135s	Chloe pick on the Wisp Walling them out
13138s	of Spawn like that so disgusting this
13140s	was a cute little cancel on the grab
13142s	flux there moving fish did what they
13144s	could um Washington were just really
13146s	good at also moving through the choke
13148s	but not sitting out in the open they
13150s	used the cover of the fire truck which
13152s	had Valiant panicking do we shoot the
13154s	the one HP targets what did we do
13156s	against the people around the fir truck
13158s	or how do we deal with sniper there were
13160s	just so many threats from the Washington
13162s	side that Valiant got people low but not
13165s	not killed which was a big difference
13168s	speaking of threats I'm looking at these
13170s	Bastion stats and feeling quite
13171s	threatened as I'm sure wisps is as well
13173s	because we talked about sosler being
13175s	such a menace on the Bastion look at the
13177s	damage that they're putting in the oims
13179s	and they just what one death again only
13182s	having that one death is conducive to
13183s	just you know it's because your team is
13185s	just winning all the fights it's because
13187s	you're coming out ahead time and time
13188s	again but that is a no small part due to
13191s	the pressure that this Bastion puts out
13192s	and no one is putting out as much
13194s	pressure on this Bastion as sosler is
13197s	wisps needs to step up on this hero if
13200s	we're going to keep this mirror alive
13202s	wisps needs to try and make up the
13203s	difference flip the script and make
13205s	snoer be the one to sweat cuz so far it
13209s	hasn't even been a drop on the brow of
13211s	Washington Timeless yeah whis just has
13213s	to be careful about how um he positions
13215s	outside of the shield there of moving
13217s	fish or was some moments that caught
13219s	wisp sort of on an off angle or just
13222s	trying to get around these sigmas and we
13224s	kind of spoke about how you deal with a
13226s	sigma you either break the shield with
13227s	the fastion or you can maybe some find
13229s	some ways to angle around that shield
13231s	and with Midtown our the Midtown choke
13234s	doesn't allow you for too many options
13236s	around that I saw whisk trying many
13238s	different things coming up with ideas
13241s	but Bastion is that glass Cannon quite
13243s	literally and you do not want to be
13244s	caught without a tank protecting you is
13247s	this where you f kind of feel like you
13248s	need to leverage some sort of other
13250s	strategy some sort of hero swap some of
13251s	that pick Potential from the alleyway or
13253s	potentially a Sim TP but it never came
13256s	out Val and Guardians sticking to their
13258s	guns and that may very well be the hill
13260s	that they die on and this hill it's it's
13264s	looking it's looking pretty uh pretty
13265s	deadly right now Washington Timeless are
13268s	on Match Point it's Valiant Guardians
13269s	map pick we're throw to a quick break
13271s	don't go anywhere chat this very well
13273s	may be the end unless Valiant Guardians
13275s	speak up or
13299s	fall
13374s	[Music]
13388s	[Music]
13422s	[Laughter]
13451s	there is now only one map that stands
13453s	between Washington Timeless and an
13456s	entire golden tournament how many times
13458s	have we said it today this weekend last
13460s	weekend that they have not dropped a map
13462s	they have found themselves at Grand
13463s	finals Valiant Guardians are the
13465s	challengers that have stepped up and
13468s	Washington Timeless thus far have
13469s	brushed them aside if valy and Guardians
13472s	do not win this map Washington Timeless
13474s	will not only be the Champions but the
13476s	golden Champions having not dropped a
13478s	map which is so insane to say over and
13480s	over like I can't stop myself from
13482s	highlighting that over and over again
13484s	it's so crazy and then Washington
13486s	Timeless have been the number one team
13488s	for a while I mean you just look at the
13489s	circuit points they're at something like
13491s	12,000 like clearly in the number one
13494s	clearly of pretty much almost book that
13496s	ticket to the championship already with
13498s	more calling all heroes events around
13500s	the corner but Washington is the team to
13503s	be in valant Guardians you know have a
13505s	bit of a different roster compared to
13507s	Swiss they've been really creative they
13509s	come up with good ideas it's execution
13512s	against a team like Washington who have
13514s	you called Washington flawless I kind of
13516s	agree I there are very little cracks to
13518s	that armor and Valiant haven't been able
13520s	to exploit yet it it's it's very hard to
13523s	call them anything else but Washington
13524s	Flawless at this point and Valiant
13526s	Guardians you know armori did say in the
13528s	interview that she thought that there
13529s	were some cracks in the armor but so far
13530s	Vali and Guardians haven't been able to
13532s	exploit those cracks if they have even
13534s	manifested and as we go into our third
13536s	map which is going to be flasho we're
13538s	going to cvasa is there even even a
13540s	whole lot of room to try potentially a
13542s	new idea out here something that might
13544s	actually get Valiant Guardians back on
13546s	the board or we'll Washington Timeless
13548s	just walk away with this one that's
13551s	really tough I think in the mirror you
13553s	clearly saw the confidence The
13555s	Experience just the play calling out of
13557s	Washington Timeless like they have
13559s	really experienced players like I know
13561s	Haley or Halo she is so smart she's been
13565s	playing the game for so long and you
13566s	could tell just by the pushes that
13568s	Washington chose to take that this team
13571s	is it's hard to be outdone in the mirror
13574s	so what can Valiant Guardians do well
13576s	the symmetra is always something that
13578s	catches teams off guard that forces
13580s	panicky and sometimes rough
13581s	decisionmaking if you can force it
13583s	quickly but it's not something we've
13585s	seen Valiant Guardians do of course
13587s	Genji is someone that can go in and and
13590s	of course do work and assassinate people
13592s	before they can get healed up because
13593s	there were a lot of times where Valiant
13594s	Guardians got people low but didn't have
13596s	the finishing power to necessarily turn
13598s	the fight so maybe someone who like a
13601s	sojor or a Genji something with pick
13603s	potential can help Valiant I anything
13607s	you you you have to try anything and
13609s	Wasington Timeless like they don't even
13611s	have to worry about this honestly
13612s	because they've gotten this far with
13614s	what has worked and nobody has made them
13616s	nobody has broken them on even a single
13618s	map when you're this well practiced and
13620s	you're this good on this composition
13622s	there is no reason for you to go back to
13624s	the drawing board but Valley and
13625s	Guardians they got to be in desperation
13627s	mode because there's no more Second
13628s	Chances from here on out you have to
13630s	beat Washington Timeless or aramori
13633s	continues that curse of Second Place
13634s	Washington Timeless walk away with the
13636s	golden tournament we will have to decide
13638s	what it is going to be or rather the
13640s	players will have to decide what it is
13642s	going to be when we kick off this next
13644s	map here I think uh just a little bit
13646s	more still getting the lobby set up a
13647s	couple players still waiting on some
13649s	things but anticipation building I'm
13652s	imagining the coaching of valiant
13653s	Guardians is giving them a giving them a
13655s	good talking to giving them a good uh
13657s	some good direction here some good ideas
13659s	I hope
13660s	yeah I know that arore gave a big shout
13663s	out to LEP and just how how really
13666s	impactful the coaching has been uh from
13669s	that player of course of OverWatch
13671s	League caliber and that bringing that
13672s	OverWatch League experience to Valiant
13674s	Guardians who have done a good job thus
13676s	far they've gotten to the Grand Final
13678s	but this is the final boss and I think
13681s	hke has a tough matchup going against uh
13684s	up against bun AKA Khloe on the May
13687s	where hke has found themselves in
13688s	positions where she's kind of jumping
13690s	out in the open trying to take that risk
13693s	of getting that may wall onto sniper and
13695s	sometimes just the wrong Bastion grenade
13697s	the wrong icicle to the face and hkey
13700s	finds themselves first picked which sets
13702s	the whole fight behind but you've got to
13703s	go for risks if you want to go for
13705s	rewards it's going to be a pretty big
13707s	risk regardless no matter what it is
13709s	that Valiant Guardian comes out with
13711s	honestly even sticking with what they
13712s	are the most comfortable with that might
13714s	even be the biggest risk at this point
13716s	in time because they are just outclassed
13717s	on it Washington Timeless better
13719s	practice practice they're finding the
13720s	picks that they need to find they're
13722s	finding they're just finding value
13723s	they're playing this composition to
13725s	Perfection and there have been a couple
13727s	flaws in Valiant Guardians game and
13729s	there cannot be any flaws any longer
13733s	surasa may very well be where they make
13735s	their final stand or where they start
13737s	the reverse sweep which will it be there
13739s	is only one way to find out chat what do
13742s	you think do you think this is all
13744s	Washington timeless' game to win with a
13746s	nice quick and easy three or do you
13749s	still believe in the Valiant
13751s	Guardians I think after that Midtown
13754s	your recency bias would have all your
13756s	channel points on Washington uh almost
13758s	said justice but Timeless but valali and
13761s	Guardians you got to remember that in in
13762s	the first fights of Antarctic put up a
13765s	seriously good fight they look like they
13766s	were dominating the start of Antarctic
13769s	they were winning fight after fight but
13771s	retakes are very difficult how they go
13773s	for staggers has been punished and
13776s	Washington Timeless are team that play
13777s	with so much confidence they don't
13779s	hesitate and in a composition like that
13781s	you can't afford to second guess and
13783s	that's been happening at times for
13785s	Valiant but when Washington have been so
13787s	good at punishing I don't blame Valiant
13789s	for for thinking twice about every move
13791s	you want to do I mean there's still I'm
13794s	still seeing little bits of uh of
13796s	thinking little bits of cooking there
13797s	hkey flashed the Genji really quick I'm
13800s	curious if that's what she's going to
13801s	come out with Chloe is sticking on it so
13804s	it's actually Washington Timeless that
13806s	might be going for something a little
13807s	bit more pick favored and this is a
13808s	variation that we have haven't seen from
13811s	Washington Timeless all that much but
13813s	you know I talked about how they don't
13814s	really need to reinvent the wheel with
13816s	this because their wheels have been
13818s	rolling just flying no flat tires on
13820s	this road to success but they've got
13822s	room to be a little bit flexible they've
13824s	got room to experiment a little bit if
13826s	this doesn't work they're totally fine
13827s	to just go back what works and they know
13829s	they can bully Valiant Guardians with it
13831s	oh Chloe bun on the Genji oh this is
13834s	going to be good but now you don't have
13836s	a junker queen that can kind of give you
13838s	that over Health you don't have an an
13840s	honor to give you a nano boost so
13842s	Washington it'll be up to Haley to maybe
13845s	guide Chloe around these fights
13847s	especially up high being able to harass
13849s	and pressure this High Ground is going
13851s	to deny this maybe from HP we'll see if
13853s	how they will connect with Carol on the
13856s	other side so far Khloe's been pushed
13858s	back and both sigas are colliding but no
13861s	clear winner so far I mean and look at
13863s	the health bars from watching Timeless
13865s	and how quickly they dip low right now
13867s	have a look at moving fishes though cuz
13868s	there's this very very
13870s	Washington Timeless are going to get
13871s	first cap here and Valiant Guardians
13873s	they've tried to push their way in but
13875s	they just got pushed right back that's a
13877s	good cap and good patience out of
13879s	Washington Timeless The Matrix is coming
13882s	up soon we'll see if snar can have the
13885s	jump in time to dodge it moving fish is
13888s	ahead in the ult charge that gravitic
13889s	flux but sniper is closing the Gap there
13891s	arore with an early ant Matrix though
13893s	might tip the scales in favor of valiant
13895s	Guardians Timeless they vacate the
13897s	premises but they pop one of their own
13899s	yeah with all the space that Valiant got
13901s	from the matri they never managed to
13903s	flip back the point good timing from Z
13905s	to allow that retake to get sniper in a
13907s	good position removing moving fish is
13909s	huge and Washington can now deal with
13911s	all the dominoes that'll fall behind
13913s	them removing moving fish that's very
13916s	very poetic removing fish very good I
13918s	mean Washington Timeless I mean and they
13920s	win that clean it's just a rail shot
13922s	from sosler is all they really need to
13923s	do that yeah the ant Matrix was invested
13925s	early but with just that one rail shot
13928s	onto moving fish who was with the race
13930s	to the gravitic flux uh dnf didn't
13933s	finish now sniper has the gravitic flux
13936s	it's going to be Mir going into the
13937s	second point I don't think Valiant
13938s	Guardians have even an attempt to cap
13940s	this one they're not going for it
13942s	everybody is going to be looking towards
13944s	that second checkpoint but the fight
13946s	looking like Washington time is want to
13948s	cut Valiant Guardians off at the pass
13951s	moving fish having issues moving forward
13953s	when the shield and Matrix is always
13955s	broken but they just need one person
13957s	from Washington to step up so this graph
13959s	flux can get some value but Washington
13962s	know what's coming and they go back
13964s	towards the point Bali are going to take
13965s	angles Caro and H key head to the left
13968s	this uh flux is all towards Z but Haley
13972s	St barrier saves Z from the dash of H
13975s	key no dash reset means the death of
13977s	that Genji from Valiant and everything
13980s	about this push was calculated but was
13983s	read by Washington Timeless who are now
13986s	looking for more kills that was a frame
13989s	perfect sound barrier that came out
13991s	there from Haley like you said to save
13992s	Z's life there and prevent the dash
13994s	coming in from hke but that said that is
13997s	a beat that has been invested and now HQ
14001s	should have a free dragon blade if she's
14003s	able to get the advantage of it I think
14005s	chloey might try and go more aggressive
14007s	with hers so who is going to strike
14008s	first it's actually snoer who's going to
14010s	pop Q oh another cre knock moving fish
14014s	on their butt and sosler is knocking
14017s	everyone back to spawn with this
14019s	overflow block Washington Timeless
14021s	though now may be overextended a little
14025s	bit since this blade is something Chloe
14027s	is Dashing back towards the point with
14030s	it I guess Carol also pops down beer so
14033s	I understand the hesitation from Chloe
14035s	and the the Dragon Blade there from
14037s	Khloe may very well have been uh a tail
14039s	tucked between the legs as she scampers
14041s	off as the rest of valiant Guardians
14043s	chase her away and inevitably do
14045s	dispatcher a bit of a late stagger and
14047s	Valiant Guardians have found themselves
14049s	on the board here starting to take it up
14051s	with Chloe dying that late it's going to
14053s	be at least up to 50% I believe before
14055s	Wasington ESS can mount a sizable
14058s	offense here and potentially find the
14060s	flip H ke still has her Dragon Blade it
14063s	might not even need it if whisp gets
14064s	anything with this overclock whisp it's
14066s	open SE it Sor down but the rest of
14069s	Washington have managed to escape they
14071s	also have a healthy Shield behind
14073s	snipers so wisp has done enough work for
14076s	now you may rest but how long can they
14078s	defend this for they're about to take
14080s	the lead and Washington want to set up
14082s	the St Matrix but valian go into hiding
14084s	here in this Corridor so there's a lot
14086s	of moving parts to this next fight here
14088s	sniper has the uh gravitic flux and
14090s	there is no sound Bearer on either side
14092s	so it's the gravitic flux versus the
14094s	dragon blade from H ke and it looks like
14096s	the gravitic flux is what's going to
14097s	come out first oh the accretion barely
14100s	misses there and the immortality from
14102s	arore only buy so much time but actually
14104s	sand are still living and they fire back
14106s	with an H key Dragon Blade to cut down
14109s	the heels of sniper but eventually get
14112s	punished while not able to find more
14113s	targets 99% in favor of valiant but
14117s	Washington will be giving this up for
14119s	free there's still Z and I believe Khloe
14122s	hanging around and this is a close fight
14125s	but Chloe dashes right into the
14127s	accretion of moving fish so Valiant may
14130s	just have won the point but they have to
14131s	be able this do this first I mean sniper
14134s	is just donating an entire doomfist life
14136s	bar worth of uh worth of ult charge over
14138s	to watch over to Valiant Guardians right
14140s	now cuz you got to imagine they're going
14142s	to swap off that doomfist that is not
14144s	going to stick they want to go back to
14145s	that Sigma most likely and try and play
14147s	for the next Point here and you know it
14150s	was a great attempt though to try and
14152s	get that retake but it was just too
14153s	little too late Valiant Guardians have
14154s	tied Sasa up one to one and both teams
14157s	now linger moving towards the next
14160s	capture point I believe Washington
14163s	Timeless should be the first ones to
14164s	touch here actually no it's going to be
14166s	moving fish who's able to stake their
14168s	claim now how this grab flux is position
14171s	Washington are almost coming up from
14173s	behind Valiant and well they caught them
14176s	off guard for sure Chloe dead in the
14179s	water though and moving fish has some
14181s	extra room to work with thanks to the
14183s	sound bear of caro and missing the
14185s	accretion on Haley not a big deal being
14187s	able to conserve that flux though is
14188s	pretty big but moving fish is low needs
14190s	to Matrix a bit and sosler gets one for
14194s	the road but our Valiant really safe
14196s	here I I mean it doesn't look like it I
14198s	mean it's an early pick off onto Chloe
14200s	no kloe means no Blade no blade means
14202s	you can pop the beat to go aggressive
14203s	but now you don't have the beat for
14205s	everything that Washington Timeless has
14207s	and that's a lot here comes that
14209s	blade oh Chloe barely dodging the grab
14212s	flx there still gets one on the H key
14215s	and Washington have prevailed in this
14217s	fight and fairly inexpensive too look at
14221s	the late stagger on the moving fish but
14223s	52% is what they have to overcome I mean
14226s	52% is what they're going to have to
14227s	overcome but look at the old of
14229s	Washington Timeless that last fight like
14230s	you said was very inexpensive only the
14232s	Dragon Blade got invested sniper has a
14234s	gravitic flux and KO again we go back to
14237s	that previous fight he does not have his
14239s	sound barrier right now so this gravitic
14241s	flux is going to be solely countered by
14244s	Aram Mor's uh immortality field and
14246s	we've seen before that's not the most
14248s	effective way you have to have some
14249s	follow through some way to snap back
14252s	once you snap back to earth oh moving
14254s	fish brought back to almost full Heth
14256s	immediately after getting hit by that
14258s	flux here's the overclock from snaer
14260s	Once balion have moving fish separated
14263s	from the
14264s	flock and look at them goost sosler will
14267s	not be stopped two kills and more
14270s	Washington Timeless wipe the floor with
14273s	Valiant I mean that's just a perfectly
14275s	timed overclock there from sosler like
14278s	we talked about how great they've been
14279s	on the Bastion they've been just as good
14280s	on the sojourn the hit scan play from
14282s	sosler is top tier and that's why you
14284s	can have a player like Chloe who's that
14286s	flexible over on the Genji but speaking
14288s	of Genji
14289s	is HQ going to be able to get the better
14291s	of Haley in this Dragon Blade versus
14293s	sound barrier matchup nope they're not
14295s	even going to touch actually valali and
14297s	Guardians concede Wason time let go up
14299s	to one and valali and Guardians they
14301s	have to head for the hills it's like
14303s	this game of c mouse Valiant just try to
14305s	get to the point they pop the Dragon
14308s	Blade but it's countered by Haley's
14310s	sound barrier so Washington Timeless
14312s	chase them all the way to the point and
14315s	back to they go Washington Timeless are
14319s	crack whis popped the overclock but
14322s	doesn't get anything sosler kills three
14324s	without the overclock and sojan
14326s	Supremacy is firmly on the side of
14328s	Washington Timeless they win that
14330s	without any ults only the defensive
14332s	sound barrier they're going to get the
14333s	first cap here they have the Dragon
14335s	Blade they have the ant Matrix Valiant
14338s	Guardians have NADA they have to try and
14340s	build up to a sizeable old bank and make
14342s	something stick because they have
14344s	slipped they got the first cap but since
14346s	then it's been all watched and Timeless
14348s	thus far and doesn't show any signs of
14350s	slowing down it's round Point match
14352s	point for Washington Timeless chlo's got
14355s	a blade and you better watch out Tero
14358s	few perc away from that sound barrier
14360s	now they have it moving fish goes
14362s	through the grab Flex gets stunned out
14364s	of it sound barrier from Carol and
14365s	responds to the Chloe blade but it's
14367s	already struck through the hearts of
14369s	valiant who fall one by one and it's
14372s	backto back fight for
14374s	Washington that that that might just be
14376s	it that might have been valali
14377s	guardian's Best Shot there last gasp
14379s	trying to capture the point they invest
14381s	the sound barrier but it's too late to
14383s	save the DPS player who falls they
14385s	invest the the gravitic flux and they
14387s	find nothing while Washington Timeless
14388s	have one of their own they have an ant
14390s	Matrix and they're going to have soslers
14392s	overclock and we've seen how deadly
14393s	they've been with that if there is
14395s	anything B Guardians can do they have to
14397s	pull a rabbit out of a hat right now oh
14399s	H ke is dead already the head shot from
14401s	Z this is the last fight for the point
14403s	round Point match point and Valiant only
14406s	flounder they couldn't break through the
14409s	choke not against the sigma Supremacy
14412s	Washington Timeless are you're calling
14415s	all heroes Champions without dropping a
14418s	single game potentially one of the most
14421s	impressive calling all heroes runs of
14424s	all time the golden tournament the
14426s	golden swis round they did not drop a
14428s	map like you just said and nobody was
14431s	able to make them bleed even a little
14433s	bit both drainers and Valiant Guardians
14435s	have at times made them sweat but not
14437s	enough to even get a single point on the
14441s	board in the map head-to-head the
14443s	Washington Flawless they shall be they
14446s	will go down in history as your calling
14448s	all heroes rise together minor three
14450s	Champions without dropping a single map
14454s	it Bears repeating and we're going to
14455s	repeat it until we're blue in the face
14457s	because it's such an insane run that
14459s	this team just went on snipers Nosler
14462s	bun Halo Z azer sill and oy of course
14467s	with the back room that have supported
14469s	this team for so long what a run calling
14474s	all heroes Champions $2500 Canadian
14477s	Richard with a ton of circuit points
14479s	enough to pad their way to the
14481s	championship in February this is a team
14484s	that no other has been able to touch to
14487s	crack to figure out and you got to
14490s	applaud them their career their ceiling
14492s	has no limits and I look forward to just
14495s	seeing what the future holds for them
14497s	I'm sure they're looking forward to see
14498s	staying with the future holdes for them
14499s	as well they may call themselves
14501s	Timeless but right now they got nothing
14503s	but time to look ahead cuz they will
14505s	almost certainly be in our Champions at
14508s	in uh tournament in February 2024
14511s	they've got all the Time in the World to
14512s	prepare for that as they come out Head
14514s	and Shoulders ahead of the rest of the
14516s	pack and they can watch and lie and wait
14518s	as teams like Valiant Guardians teams
14520s	like drainers try and try to just play
14523s	catchup over the next couple of months
14527s	it's going to be a lovely thing to
14529s	can anyone topple the Washington
14530s	Timeless not today not in Toronto not in
14534s	calling all heroes currently right now
14536s	they are they are the best they are the
14538s	best team that calling out Heroes has to
14540s	offer and I don't think anybody can even
14542s	begin to doubt that after this
14544s	performance this weekend this past
14546s	weekend everyone who has stepped up has
14548s	been brushed to the side and Washington
14550s	Timeless will say it again they are your
14554s	Champions I got to give a shout out to
14556s	Haley she popped off today the perfectly
14560s	framed sound berries you pointed out to
14562s	the boops that allowed uh the first
14565s	fight wins on Antarctic to just being
14567s	that Fearless Lucio that you need in a
14570s	composition like this Haley has brought
14572s	the the master class of support to the
14575s	realm and I'm so proud of how far
14577s	they've come to as a player and as a
14579s	person and I've just brought so much
14582s	recognition to a platform like this to
14583s	have a player like her play on it so
14585s	congratulations once again to Washington
14587s	Timeless every single player on that
14589s	team had their moment in the spotlight
14591s	had their impact in the match there
14593s	wasn't someone who was holding them back
14595s	they all popped off and I'm looking
14598s	forward to talking to them very soon I
14600s	mean yeah they they all more than pulled
14602s	their weight I mean they they pulled
14604s	like double their weight like looking at
14606s	all of the stats and all of the insane
14607s	plays across the board we talk a lot
14609s	about sniper and the the sigma
14610s	head-to-head we talk a lot about Khloe
14612s	we talk a lot about snaza and of course
14614s	Haley congratulations to her but
14616s	congratulations are in order to the
14618s	entire team so we're going to have a
14619s	couple players from that team to give
14622s	you an interview when we get back from
14623s	this break to tell you how they feel to
14625s	be your new calling all heroes

14891s	not a new Champion but indeed a
14893s	returning Champion has been crowned once
14896s	more Washington Timeless are your
14899s	calling all heroes rise together minor
14901s	three Champions and for some it was
14904s	never in doubt especially for the group
14906s	that we've got here today for an
14908s	interview we've got SNR their coach and
14910s	sill one of their players how are you
14912s	guys doing today how are you feeling uh
14915s	pretty good honestly yeah I think uh I
14917s	think we're all kind of expecting it
14918s	honestly right we felt really confident
14920s	going into today so I think it's just
14921s	finally nice to like have the relief of
14923s	it being actually done in the books you
14926s	know and SNR I want to address you too
14930s	um tell me about the work you and the
14932s	team have done to prepare and improve
14934s	over the season to to get to this moment
14937s	yeah so I'm not going to take a ton of
14939s	credit I think the players are all like
14941s	really really good and they're also like
14942s	insane worth ethic like I think that's
14944s	the biggest thing the first week of the
14945s	tournament is where I did most of my
14947s	work and I came in lot of the scrims and
14948s	did review but this last week like
14950s	honestly it was pretty hands off for me
14951s	I didn't have like I was also kind of
14952s	busy so I didn't get big opportunity to
14954s	do a lot but I kind of just kind of told
14956s	them Direction I think they should take
14957s	with the team and they they took it very
14959s	very well and I think that you know
14961s	little little B guidance but I think
14962s	it's like pretty much just 99% all the
14964s	team and they they're very good at
14966s	dealing with everything on their own I
14968s	you can you can see it in their gameplay
14969s	and I guess you know speaking of the
14971s	team I want to talk directly to saw Hill
14972s	it's good to have you back on the
14974s	broadcast after uh after last week we
14976s	had you on cuz you guys were successful
14977s	that week you've been even more
14979s	successful this week so as a player how
14981s	does it feel to be a champion once again
14985s	uh I mean it feels good feels the same
14986s	as the past few times I mean this our
14988s	fourth tournament right the fourth time
14989s	we've won and I mean I don't know it's
14991s	like we worked hard and I think we
14992s	deserve it I think all our players
14994s	played really well and it's just uh good
14995s	to see our effort like our hard work
14997s	paying
14998s	off the hard work paid off paid a lot
15001s	actually congrats on the final it was
15004s	awesome to watch your team um SNR we
15006s	don't always get to see kind of the work
15008s	you pointed out some work ethic stuff we
15010s	don't get to see what happens uh behind
15012s	closed doors or beyond the match if you
15013s	had like an award to give uh maybe MVP
15016s	or most improved player who would that
15019s	be because there's just so many stars on
15020s	that team and you've gotten to watch
15022s	them grow and work so hard to be on the
15024s	game what do you think so I think MVP I
15029s	honestly I I don't necessarily want to
15031s	pick someone because I think that's kind
15033s	I think like I think the team actually
15034s	like uh that did incredibly well but I
15037s	think like a big big thing to take into
15039s	account is like even for the people that
15040s	weren't start starting like like whether
15042s	it's like staff or like for example like
15043s	sill as well like they're just always
15045s	showing up the scrims and like giving
15046s	their input so I actually think that's
15048s	like where the the biggest Difference
15049s	Maker is made is like it's not even
15051s	though the players aren't necessarily
15052s	you know playing every single map
15053s	they're actually just like with the team
15055s	still contributing their ideas so I
15056s	think that's like actually the biggest
15057s	Difference Maker is that the people that
15060s	even aren't playing are still like
15061s	actively trying to produce like uh like
15063s	good results with the team so I think
15064s	that's actually the biggest thing is the
15065s	people that didn't even like play the Ms
15068s	we're still like actively trying to
15069s	improve the team that's what I'd say
15070s	like the biggest thing is it it does
15073s	indeed take a village to raise a
15075s	championship team and you guys have done
15077s	a phenomenal job of doing just that but
15078s	I want to ask you SNR as the coach were
15081s	you ever worried that your team might I
15083s	don't know drop a single map uh I got
15086s	I'll be honest I got dinner reservations
15088s	in 15 minutes like I I was not worried
15090s	like I I I'm going to be going like
15091s	right after the interview's done I was
15092s	not worried we got that unlocked it was
15094s	all good yeah he's not even lying by the
15096s	way that's not a joke it's just real
15099s	stle um my last question to you is how
15102s	is the Trust on this team it sounds like
15104s	you know the coach trusts you but y'all
15106s	have so many substitutes and different
15108s	players from different experience levels
15110s	what is it like to be on that team I
15112s	mean I think it's just great I feel like
15114s	with the players we have we're like
15115s	super confident in any meta we can like
15117s	trust each other to be able to play
15118s	whatever we need and play it well like
15121s	for example in this meta like sniper is
15122s	just like the best sick player in the
15123s	world so I don't even need to like open
15125s	the game to be honest like I don't know
15128s	I think I just I I love playing with
15130s	this team I think we're going to do do
15131s	well do well in the future tournaments
15132s	too and it's just I think I think we'll
15135s	continue doing well and well you can
15136s	definitely look forward to those future
15138s	tournaments because you will almost
15139s	certainly I be at the Championships in
15142s	February so I look forward to seeing you
15144s	guys there we're going to go ahead and
15145s	wrap this all up here cuz it sounds like
15147s	snr's got places to be but before we go
15149s	first saw Hill and then SNR in that
15151s	order I would like to pose this final
15153s	question to you do you have any other
15155s	closing thoughts or any shout outs that
15156s	you want to give before we send you on
15158s	your Merry way for a SNR celebratory
15161s	dinner uh you want to go first SNR yeah
15164s	I mean shout out to the team to getting
15165s	it done like quickly that's for getting
15167s	me to dinner on time that's the biggest
15169s	shout out I can give but
15170s	yeah yeah shout out to everyone for no
15172s	Maps dropped shout out to the people who
15175s	helped us warm up uh actually don't
15177s	remember who it was cuz I wasn't home
15178s	but whoever you are you know you are uh
15180s	shout out to our manager debbit shout
15183s	out to Lily AZ shout out to Orion all
15185s	the subs me included and yeah that's
15187s	about it well thank you both so much for
15191s	taking the time for this interview it
15193s	was great to hear about your story and
15195s	big congratulations once again on being
15197s	Champions thank you so much thank you
15200s	thank you thank you for having us thank
15201s	you very much well these there they go
15204s	there are your Champions let's have a
15206s	quick look at what it is that they were
15207s	playing for and what they won that grand
15210s	prize that they get to walk away with
15212s	you can definitely buy yourself a couple
15214s	of fancy dinners with that uh that 2300
15217s	Canadian dollars and the 450 uh circuit
15220s	points per player that is by the way I
15223s	we we failed to touch on that the last
15225s	couple of times that is per player so a
15227s	nice sizable chunk but with all the
15229s	points that they've already amased it's
15231s	still just a drop in the bucket for who
15233s	will inevitably be one of the favorites
15235s	to take up the whole thing the entirety
15238s	of the
15239s	champion yeah Washington Timeless you
15243s	love to see the support I remember when
15244s	they were like Timeless ethereal way
15246s	back when and it's you people are
15248s	starting to recognize that talent that
15250s	potential and how unlimited their
