| 1005s | OverWatch World Cup but this is the |
| 1007s | first time we're crowning OverWatch |
| 1008s | World Cup OverWatch 2 Champion so there |
| 1011s | is that uh let's take a trip down memory |
| 1014s | lane though before we talk about the |
| 1015s | future and the crowning of Champions |
| 1017s | because this is obviously an event which |
| 1019s | means a lot to the players they |
| 1022s | represent their countries their homes |
| 1024s | their people and one of those people is |
| 1027s | sitting with us on this uh virtual desk |
| 1029s | Johnny you got to be a player it is not |
| 1032s | Danny it is in fact Johnny you got to |
| 1034s | play for team Sweden way back way way |
| 1037s | way back way back oh man 28 here we go |
| 1042s | oh why what is this like a baby baby I |
| 1047s | was like 22 or something what happened |
| 1050s | to you what |
| 1052s | happen oh man what happened these are |
| 1055s | these are this is not even the World Cup |
| 1058s | look at it that's like ranked oh Kaiser |
| 1062s | Kaiser who Kaiser who that was that was |
| 1064s | a good one right there yeah I mean look |
| 1068s | playing in the World Cup I did not ask |
| 1070s | for that by the way but thanks |
| 1071s | production you know and a reason to make |
| 1073s | me look good I appreciate that uh but |
| 1075s | yeah I mean the World Cup is special |
| 1076s | right because it's not your average |
| 1078s | professional tournament where you're |
| 1079s | trying to win price money you're trying |
| 1081s | to you know succeed you know your own |
| 1083s | personal gain you're actually like |
| 1085s | representing your country right it's a |
| 1086s | special feeling um and it means to me |
| 1089s | when I repres represented Sweden you |
| 1091s | know it meant so much to me because you |
| 1092s | know you get the opportunity to really |
| 1094s | you know make your country proud and |
| 1095s | make your country um you know your your |
| 1097s | your fellow Swedish people proud um so |
| 1099s | it's a different kind of tournament uh |
| 1101s | but it meant a lot to me and I'm sure it |
| 1103s | means a lot to these players playing |
| 1104s | here today um it's a different kind of |
| 1106s | vibe and it's really fun to partake in |
| 1108s | so does it does it make you feel do you |
| 1111s | feel a little bit more nervous playing |
| 1113s | because you're repping your own country |
| 1114s | in OverWatch World Cup when you're |
| 1116s | playing on stage or no I didn't I I was |
| 1119s | didn't feel that nervous you know |
| 1120s | playing |
| 1121s | for i i i i obsessed more about just |
| 1125s | like making my country look good so I |
| 1128s | guess that was kind of nerve-wracking |
| 1130s | cuz you're like well I don't want to go |
| 1131s | in there and just like be bad and you |
| 1134s | know make everyone you know feel ashamed |
| 1137s | for being Swedish like I want to go in |
| 1138s | there and make us look good right so |
| 1140s | it's a different kind of ner nervous |
| 1142s | energy I guess unfortunately that didn't |
| 1143s | work out for you |
| 1145s | guys yeah you tried all right neither of |
| 1148s | us Zoe okay Switzerland didn't make it |
| 1150s | either okay maybe next year maybe next |
| 1153s | year I never had any hopes there to |
| 1155s | begin with uh but big shout out to all |
| 1157s | my Swiss OverWatch players of course uh |
| 1159s | now Johnny we do want to talk about the |
| 1162s | winners though the ones who did manage |
| 1164s | to make their country uh men and women |
| 1167s | proud and G |
| 1169s | I mean they were on a rampage all right |
| 1172s | they won this championship title three |
| 1174s | years in a row only to be stopped in |
| 1176s | 2019 by the USA I mean correct me if I'm |
| 1180s | wrong but from what I remember ever |
| 1181s | since 2016 where they where they first |
| 1184s | won the OverWatch World Cup they they |
| 1186s | were just just killing everybody on |
| 1189s | stage I think nobody nobody came close |
| 1192s | to uh the team ker for when it came to |
| 1194s | OverWatch World Cup from 2016 all the |
| 1197s | way to 2018 they always had had the best |
| 1199s | players and they were just uh a tier |
| 1201s | above I think every other team uh so it |
| 1204s | was I mean you know they really deserved |
| 1206s | all all of the OverWatch gold medals |
| 1208s | that they got from 2016 2017 and 2018 |
| 1211s | three years in a row it was very |
| 1212s | impressive but I think it was 2019 was |
| 1215s | the year that you know that Korea |
| 1217s | couldn't get the win right Johnny yeah |
| 1219s | it was Team USA that time in 2019 uh and |
| 1222s | you know this was this was really like a |
| 1224s | a USA super team if you will um you know |
| 1227s | super obviously being the for that team |
| 1229s | at the time and the space was the than |
| 1232s | for that as well like that really was um |
| 1234s | the best roster that team us say ever |
| 1236s | fielded and with that they were able to |
| 1238s | take down South Korea of course so that |
| 1239s | was a massive achievement because as you |
| 1241s | said Danny South Korea always will be |
| 1244s | the favorite has been the favorite but |
| 1247s | in 2019 USA with a bit of an upset |
| 1249s | combined all their skill sets and made |
| 1251s | it happen so now they're the reigning |
| 1253s | Champion four years later you know USA |
| 1255s | they got to defend that title right |
| 1258s | that's true I mean I mean all those |
| 1259s | teams will be rocking up with very |
| 1261s | different rosters but the spirit remains |
| 1264s | uh one quick thing I definitely want to |
| 1266s | mention is that it was not Team USA who |
| 1268s | handed South Korea the first loss that |
| 1270s | was Team France in fact during the group |
| 1272s | stages and that was huge that was |
| 1276s | fantastic pretty hyp what happened Korea |
| 1279s | T France was stucked all right it was |
| 1281s | stuck now of course those are not the |
| 1283s | only two teams competing for a spot at |
| 1286s | biscon no we have 14 more teams who will |
| 1289s | be battling it out in our round robing |
| 1292s | group stages you can see them split up |
| 1295s | as is on your screen the top two teams |
| 1297s | of each group will be advancing to |
| 1300s | BlizzCon and get a shot at the price |
| 1303s | pool that's right the priz pool this |
| 1305s | year and this is very special is |
| 1307s | actually crowdfunded so it is all thanks |
| 1310s | to all of you beautiful wonderful |
| 1312s | supportive people and you can contribute |
| 1314s | as well by getting yourself this |
| 1317s | incredible bundle featuring the Skins |
| 1319s | you're seeing on your screen and so much |
| 1322s | more man that sojer skin that makes me |
| 1324s | feel things I'm telling like Lu is so |
| 1327s | good |
| 1328s | Lucio Lu SK have always been like he's |
| 1332s | just he's just he's just a really cool |
| 1333s | homie you know but that Soldier skin is |
| 1336s | different I I think the soldier skin is |
| 1337s | scary like when I see an opponent in |
| 1339s | ranked you know using the soldier skin |
| 1342s | I'm like that's a 10% Fear Factor cuz I |
| 1345s | know that this person is like invested |
| 1346s | and like probably studied the vaults you |
| 1348s | know try hard and I'm like oh this they |
| 1350s | know what's up like I got why is it 10% |
| 1353s | why is it not 20% it could be 20 you |
| 1355s | know it depends for me it's 10% cuz I'm |
| 1357s | not that scared Danny but if you're |
| 1359s | really scared I mean 20 Factor could be |
| 1361s | you know for you maybe I don't know I'm |
| 1363s | always escapes out he sees it and he |
| 1365s | escapes out that's that's what's |
| 1367s | happening uh let's actually Deep dive |
| 1369s | into our groups and chat a little bit |
| 1371s | about who we see coming out of top of |
| 1373s | each of those groups starting with group |
| 1375s | a obviously South Korea is going to be |
| 1379s | the one team everyone is going to look |
| 1380s | out for here uh yeah I mean I mean it is |
| 1383s | pretty obvious they're stacked roster |
| 1385s | you know they already have the Synergy |
| 1387s | because they've all of these players |
| 1388s | have been playing with one another in |
| 1390s | one in point of their one point uh in |
| 1392s | their professional career but you know I |
| 1395s | don't I don't think South Korea is the |
| 1397s | favorite to Mo not only are they the |
| 1399s | favorite to move out of the groups but I |
| 1400s | honestly think they're going to be the |
| 1402s | favor to honestly win win it all for |
| 1405s | this OverWatch World Cup 2023 they have |
| 1407s | to be like like I said stacked roster |
| 1409s | these guys are looking good like they |
| 1411s | and they added some great players like |
| 1413s | lipo's also it's it's his it's his first |
| 1415s | time joining the OverWatch World Cup so |
| 1417s | it's going to be hard for all the other |
| 1420s | group a teams to play against South |
| 1423s | Korea absolutely now uh looking at the |
| 1426s | toughest group possibly to predict Group |
| 1428s | B with Great Britain Australia and |
| 1430s | Canada Brazil also made it into the |
| 1432s | Commonwealth battle here who do you see |
| 1434s | coming out on top Johnny ah this one is |
| 1436s | so tough to predict because you got |
| 1438s | great Great Britain of course with you |
| 1439s | know that always show up and perform |
| 1441s | pretty well here in the world cup but |
| 1443s | Australia you know they're a team that |
| 1445s | I've been fighting with in 2017 2018 |
| 1447s | they always bring a good roster too from |
| 1449s | Australian contenders but Canada I feel |
| 1451s | like has to be the favorite out of these |
| 1453s | three I think that any of those three |
| 1455s | could potentially make it hey and Brazil |
| 1457s | you know there's always OBS in the World |
| 1458s | Cup Brazil so don't count yourselves out |
| 1460s | but Canada has to be the favorite I feel |
| 1462s | like because this is a squad full of |
| 1464s | professional players that like compete |
| 1465s | professionally in OverWatch right I mean |
| 1467s | we've heard plenty of Seeker playing at |
| 1469s | the very highest level and he is argu |
| 1471s | arguably like the most pivotal player I |
| 1473s | feel like on this squad because he's |
| 1475s | forced to flex over um to these |
| 1477s | different Heroes like the EO for example |
| 1479s | we've seen him on on ash at times but |
| 1481s | also the Tracer um if noxus is going to |
| 1483s | play some of those hit scan rolles right |
| 1485s | so I feel like Seeker is the one to look |
| 1487s | out for on this team and I feel like if |
| 1490s | you have to pick one of them it it it |
| 1491s | should be can in group b yeah and if |
| 1493s | we're looking at Group C China has |
| 1495s | arguably to be the one favorite here but |
| 1498s | I do want to give a special shout out to |
| 1499s | Thailand they are featuring one of the |
| 1501s | players in fact the only OG player who |
| 1503s | has been participating in every single |
| 1505s | OverWatch World Cup and that is auto |
| 1508s | absolute lovely guy uh I want to see |
| 1510s | them succeed but China everyone has to |
| 1513s | look at China he Ruster here Danny I |
| 1515s | mean yeah I mean CH this China has |
| 1518s | always been sort of a a very strong team |
| 1520s | in the OverWatch World Cup uh you know |
| 1522s | ever since like even a couple of years |
| 1524s | ago but I think this year they really |
| 1527s | have a good chance because this whole |
| 1528s | team uh with far and the all the all the |
| 1531s | rest of the team they have been on the |
| 1532s | same team in the OverWatch League uh |
| 1534s | hongo spark and hongo Spark has been |
| 1537s | they had a very good season uh in the |
| 1540s | OverWatch League this season they ended |
| 1541s | up third uh at the very end Grand Final |
| 1544s | so it's that core team with far away I |
| 1546s | think uh you know China is definitely |
| 1549s | one of the the stronger teams as well |
| 1551s | for OverWatch World Cup in group D we |
| 1553s | also of course have a clear stand out |
| 1555s | there with the reigning Champion Team |
| 1557s | USA I love their roster this year I |
| 1561s | really have to say because it features a |
| 1563s | lot of young blood but also some OG |
| 1565s | players yeah the reigning Champion Zoe |
| 1568s | and super is back from his 2019 World |
| 1571s | Cup run as a tank for this team of |
| 1574s | course they have kou in that role as |
| 1575s | well so you have to see if they're going |
| 1577s | to play a lot of super who can you know |
| 1579s | play the main tank Heroes primarily but |
| 1581s | if you're going to have kou example who |
| 1583s | is really known for his Sigma which |
| 1584s | could be really useful in this meta for |
| 1586s | example but as you said like there's |
| 1587s | tons of players coming in rup Paul had a |
| 1589s | fantastic season um this year of course |
| 1592s | and um he was one of the standouts um in |
| 1594s | some of the best tournaments here but |
| 1596s | also I feel like you have Dante as a |
| 1598s | flex player on this team could he see |
| 1600s | play time obviously was part of the |
| 1601s | OverWatch League before but now plays in |
| 1604s | the Collegiate kind of scene right and |
| 1605s | then you have hydron and sugarfree who |
| 1607s | both just rack up the highlights like |
| 1609s | look at this guy hydron on the |
| 1610s | Widowmaker so scar so United States |
| 1613s | they're stacked might not be on the same |
| 1615s | level as South Korea but they're |
| 1617s | defending champion I you got to give |
| 1618s | them credit um a team to out for for |
| 1620s | sure absolutely let's actually uh |
| 1623s | summarize it all um to determine which |
| 1626s | two teams we think are above them all I |
| 1630s | think the first one you have to mention |
| 1631s | here has to be South Korea look at that |
| 1634s | lineup I I feel like I feel like all |
| 1636s | these South Korea uh points are making |
| 1638s | but I mean it's for a good reason right |
| 1640s | I think they are definitely the |
| 1641s | favorites and we're looking at one of |
| 1642s | the players you know that's joining the |
| 1644s | OverWatch World Cup team for the first |
| 1645s | time and his name is lip this guy just |
| 1648s | just look at his accolades I think it |
| 1649s | just speaks for himself um this guy's |
| 1651s | arguably probably one of the best uh DPS |
| 1654s | players that we had in the Pro scene |
| 1656s | best Sombra player I think he's going to |
| 1658s | make a huge impact uh for the World Cup |
| 1661s | and team South Korea definitely for this |
| 1663s | uh for this year and I think the other |
| 1666s | team here has got to be the team from |
| 1669s | China I mean they've been nipping at the |
| 1671s | heels of the number one slots for two |
| 1674s | years in a row they came second is this |
| 1676s | their time Johnny can they do it with |
| 1678s | this roster people are screaming at the |
| 1680s | Orit like United States they're the |
| 1682s | reigning Champions put some respect on |
| 1684s | their name but I'm sorry I'm taking over |
| 1686s | I'm taking over okay team China we can |
| 1688s | only pick two teams so South Korea has |
| 1690s | to be one I'm I'm picking China as my |
| 1693s | second team uh that could potentially |
| 1695s | win the title this year in the 2023 |
| 1697s | World Cup look they have so much Synergy |
| 1699s | together having played uh so much with |
| 1701s | each other before gue he's back in 2023 |
| 1705s | after you making a name for himself in |
| 1707s | the World Cup early in his career right |
| 1708s | the Primal blade he's back um here in |
| 1711s | the World Cup now some questions about |
| 1713s | how many compositions can they play are |
| 1716s | they going to lean on gu to play the |
| 1718s | Winston to play the doomfist is that |
| 1719s | going to be like the focal point of |
| 1721s | their compositions right so that's a |
| 1723s | question for team China but overall the |
| 1725s | team from China I mean they they're just |
| 1727s | stacked they have all the Synergy they |
| 1729s | need uh two of the best damage players |
| 1731s | in the entire tournament so I see no |
| 1733s | reason why to doubt the team from China |
| 1736s | the interesting thing here is if we look |
| 1737s | looking at the brackets those two teams |
| 1740s | actually will not be able to face each |
| 1742s | other for quite some time so we keeping |
| 1745s | it exciting and it's going to be scary |
| 1747s | for every team which has to face off |
| 1749s | against them along the way but we're not |
| 1752s | here yet we've got to go through our |

| 2050s | you set up for our first match of the |
| 2052s | day team Great Britain will be facing |
| 2054s | off against Canada so let's take a look |
| 2057s | at the rosters here starting with Great |
| 2059s | Britain uh honestly this is stacked |
| 2062s | lineup a lot of familiar faces yeah I |
| 2065s | mean when we're talking about the |
| 2066s | favorites to make a make it out of the |
| 2067s | groups we're talking about Canada I |
| 2069s | think Great Britain is also a team that |
| 2071s | has a very good chance of making out as |
| 2073s | well like you said uh they have some |
| 2075s | great players they got like they got |
| 2077s | players like Kai buunny Astro and |
| 2079s | backbone as well and not only that they |
| 2081s | got a great coach as well Christopher |
| 2083s | from London Spitfire is the head coach |
| 2085s | for team Great Britain so I'm honestly |
| 2088s | very excited to see this how this team |
| 2090s | is going to Fair against Team Canada and |
| 2092s | what Christopher has been cooking with |
| 2095s | who who I who did I miss who did I miss |
| 2096s | you missed B B |
| 2100s | back playing support he's playing |
| 2103s | support in the starting lineup let's be |
| 2104s | honest I don't think bone back is going |
| 2106s | to make an appearance you think so you |
| 2108s | think he's you'll never know he might |
| 2111s | has to bring maybe he has to bring it up |
| 2113s | because Team Canada is not going to make |
| 2115s | it difficult for them Canada had also |
| 2117s | historically better placements in the O |
| 2119s | World Cups previously but obviously with |
| 2122s | a much different rest uh roster uh |
| 2124s | Johnny what can Team Canada do this time |
| 2127s | around oh they can do they can do lots |
| 2129s | of things you know I was reminiscing |
| 2130s | when you said that about great |
| 2131s | performances in the World Cup I was |
| 2132s | reminiscing about mangatu bringing out |
| 2134s | the torb on Theon against South Kore |
| 2137s | yeah that was good memor a throwback |
| 2138s | that's a throwback that's a throwback |
| 2140s | indeed but I already spoke about seeker |
| 2142s | of course but the backline is really |
| 2143s | stacked for uh Canada this year as well |
| 2146s | you got crimso and Cal who play at the |
| 2148s | highest level of OverWatch you know |
| 2149s | that's that's one of the strongest |
| 2151s | backlines coming into the World Cup |
| 2152s | because they're both so experienced at |
| 2154s | the highest level right um and they can |
| 2155s | play lots of different competitions |
| 2157s | they've sort of been leaning towards |
| 2158s | these dive compositions with Seeker on |
| 2160s | the echo um and noxus on the Tracer that |
| 2163s | was obviously in June so some months ago |
| 2166s | in a different meta uh but we'll see |
| 2167s | what they come out playing here today |
| 2168s | they have the versatility required to |
| 2170s | play lots of different compositions here |
| 2171s | in the World Cup which could give you a |
| 2173s | leg up against the rest of the |
| 2174s | competition absolutely let's take a look |
| 2177s | at our predictions for this one I went |
| 2180s | with Team Great Britain I do believe not |
| 2182s | just in the players who obviously are |
| 2184s | very skilled uh individually but mostly |
| 2187s | their coaching stuff there's so much |
| 2188s | experience coming with that Christopher |
| 2191s | himself also has been a player uh for |
| 2194s | two years in a row and then transitioned |
| 2195s | into a coaching um kind of uh situation |
| 2199s | so I have a lot of faith in that team to |
| 2201s | really make it out on top I went with |
| 2203s | Canada because we just got back from |
| 2206s | Canada see bias because I was Jing that |
| 2211s | but I mean that it's a small part of it |
| 2213s | but also I think you know uh Team Canada |
| 2215s | like Johnny said has a I think stronger |
| 2217s | backline and also they seem a little bit |
| 2219s | more versatile compared to Great Britain |
| 2221s | so I went with Canada I went with Canada |
| 2223s | too you know obviously I I competed on |
| 2225s | stage in |
| 2227s | Toronto with my fellow Canadians you |
| 2230s | know lemon kiwi uh she she'll be casting |
| 2233s | this week uh you know carq was there |
| 2235s | Seeker I played with Seeker so obviously |
| 2237s | I had to go with Canada in this |
| 2240s | one right on well let's see who is going |
| 2243s | to make it we have lots of games to be |
| 2246s | played for both of those teams but who |
| 2248s | is going to take the first W let's find |
| 2249s | out for all the action we're going to |
| 2250s | send it over to Dustin and |
| 2252s | Moxy thank you so much Zoe and the desk |
| 2256s | obviously we've got the predictions in I |
| 2258s | think both sides obviously you know have |
| 2261s | a bit more variability for this matchup |
| 2263s | Moxy I I think Great Britain and Canada |
| 2265s | is a very decisive game and I think that |
| 2267s | this is going to be a good one that a |
| 2269s | lot of people can't predict yeah there |
| 2271s | is a lot writing on this as well not |
| 2274s | only is this going to probably decide |
| 2276s | who's coming in the first seed for Group |
| 2278s | B it's going to have significant |
| 2280s | ramifications for the quarterfinals if |
| 2283s | you were looking at the bracket first |
| 2285s | seed in group b in that first round of |
| 2287s | quarterfinals goes up against the second |
| 2289s | seed in group a you know who's in group |
| 2291s | a South Korea second seed in group b |
| 2296s | most likely immediately goes up against |
| 2299s | one of the favorites to win the entire |
| 2302s | thing that is not a position any of |
| 2305s | these teams wants to be in no at all and |
| 2307s | Moxy just look at this just look at this |
| 2309s | freaking setup right now I mean |
| 2310s | everybody's back here at L you know for |
| 2312s | World Cup it's awesome to see right Marx |
| 2315s | I mean to have this back again you know |
| 2317s | obviously starting off with Great |
| 2318s | Britain and Canada classic you know both |
| 2320s | of these teams coming through and we're |
| 2322s | going to start an ilos as well Moxy for |
| 2324s | the first game between Great Britain and |
| 2326s | Canada do you have any predictions maybe |
| 2327s | leading into this matchup specifically I |
| 2330s | think this is probably going to be team |
| 2332s | Great Britain's best map considering it |
| 2335s | is a dive f D map in their tank J car is |
| 2338s | known for his Winston something to note |
| 2341s | as well the desk did talk about it |
| 2343s | backbone is once again on the bone back |
| 2346s | he is going to be starting off on the |
| 2347s | support lineup this is something that |
| 2349s | team Great Britain actually did multiple |
| 2350s | times in that conference mostly against |
| 2353s | Team France when they played this map |
| 2355s | they had W Mayon on the Eko jaru on the |
| 2358s | Winston Kai was actually rocking both |
| 2360s | the Tracer and the junkrat backbone |
| 2363s | played the Anna and then obviously you |
| 2365s | have funny Astro on that Lucio so this |
| 2367s | is definitely one of the more favorite |
| 2370s | maps for gbr if they don't take this map |
| 2374s | that's when their confidence is likely |
| 2375s | to take a dent for sure yeah you're 100% |
| 2377s | right on every point I mean with Great |
| 2379s | Britain as well I mean obviously they |
| 2381s | got Kai an excellent hit scann player |
| 2383s | but Seeker on the other side you know |
| 2384s | has had to flex a bit too cuz Moxy I |
| 2386s | mean Canada's still having to figure out |
| 2388s | that like Flex DPS R between seeker and |
| 2390s | noxious who kind of have a lot of cross |
| 2392s | over there well seik has been incredibly |
| 2394s | flexible in the conference he played far |
| 2397s | Hanzo Bastian Tracer multiple different |
| 2399s | DPS Heroes we are actually going to see |
| 2401s | something a little bit different for is |
| 2403s | going to be on the diva so with |
| 2405s | potentially going to get melted by w m |
| 2407s | with the focusing beam but Cal on that |
| 2409s | arari is going to be doing so much more |
| 2411s | damage for the backline of Canada in |
| 2413s | comparison to GB oh yeah and obviously |
| 2415s | off the top side Canada sitting with |
| 2418s | that Advantage Seer also ented for |
| 2419s | backbone who is caught out in the cage |
| 2422s | side so greater already kind of opting |
| 2423s | for a soft reset right now just backing |
| 2425s | up waiting for their hand to respa but |
| 2427s | that's going to give the first point to |
| 2428s | Canada this is so smart I love this |
| 2431s | normally when you have a diva the echo |
| 2432s | gets such a huge leg up but by running |
| 2434s | cow on the arari W Mayon cannot actually |
| 2437s | get close enough to be able to use the |
| 2439s | beam to melt through the defense Matrix |
| 2441s | and as a result they have to give all of |
| 2443s | this face up to Canada Seager still |
| 2445s | sitting on the right side throwing those |
| 2447s | grenades towards backbone also aade |
| 2450s | comes through from crimo connects Ono |
| 2452s | gets him out to one HP while SEC now |
| 2454s | comes back through for jakaro |
| 2455s | everybody's low great Brit but jaru |
| 2457s | somehow gets the kill fals though |
| 2458s | eventually will come back trades out the |
| 2460s | Winston for that Kai also takes another |
| 2462s | anti- grenade from crimo who's slowing |
| 2464s | them down so much at the moment Canada |
| 2466s | though trying to heal up make sure |
| 2468s | they're healthy on the outside well |
| 2469s | Great Britain actually walks through and |
| 2470s | Kai takes out noxious caught towards |
| 2472s | that mini health pack side Canada though |
| 2474s | are up to 32% on the board meanwhile gra |
| 2478s | slowly working their way towards this |
| 2479s | point now they are here using a lot of |
| 2481s | the mobility to get here actually almost |
| 2483s | go through for the ca they get it Canada |
| 2484s | meanwhile on the outside drop a bit too |
| 2486s | late drop onai with the nanab Boost and |
| 2488s | they're managed to find him so that is |
| 2489s | that first kill for them there but jaru |
| 2491s | able to find Crim a lot of the heals are |
| 2493s | down however CID come back through even |
| 2496s | though they gave up the point will now |
| 2498s | reclaim it it's such a fast flip as well |
| 2501s | it took Great Britain so long such a |
| 2503s | divide and conquer style of play to make |
| 2506s | sure that fce isn't able to peel as that |
| 2508s | Diva and like you said it allowed caner |
| 2510s | to be able to build such a huge lead not |
| 2512s | in just in terms of uh point percentage |
| 2514s | but also in terms of ultimate charge so |
| 2516s | having that Nano boost ready meant that |
| 2518s | they immediately were able to take |
| 2519s | advantage in that fight but now Great |
| 2520s | Britain have a nano boost of their own |
| 2522s | if backbone actually gets to use it he's |
| 2525s | continued to be pressed by SEO yeah he |
| 2527s | used on jaru who already used the jump |
| 2529s | however M's able to find that first kill |
| 2530s | has the copy still in case he needs it |
| 2532s | but they're able to find two Seeker |
| 2533s | though does trade back one backbone out |
| 2535s | of the fight so that is going to be a |
| 2537s | lot of the heals removed for Great |
| 2539s | Britain Kai meanwhile able to find |
| 2541s | Seeker on the point so great just kind |
| 2542s | of walking their way through here and |
| 2544s | 76% maybe 77% for Canada are going to |
| 2547s | get that flip they have to be so careful |
| 2549s | though Cal is coming in with that allari |
| 2552s | ultimate and they don't have the diva |
| 2555s | the only thing that's going to be able |
| 2556s | to block that ultimate is going to be |
| 2559s | Jar's bubble and he has to time it |
| 2562s | perfectly Canada setting up on their |
| 2565s | engage want to take that cage control |
| 2567s | but Mayon sitting there as well now |
| 2569s | coming with that ultimate from count B |
| 2571s | bomb as well on Kai he can't go anywhere |
| 2573s | false is able to take him down mimon |
| 2574s | though trades back Cal after he went for |
| 2576s | for that ultimate in the sky while mimon |
| 2579s | with the copy just building up towards |
| 2580s | that Nano charge also keeping jaru alive |
| 2583s | on the inside making sure doesn't have |
| 2584s | to use the Primal wage while he's |
| 2585s | backing or forcing Canada a keepy |
| 2588s | backing up now they get that Nano |
| 2589s | through the copy and lands on a crimso |
| 2591s | who Ned aggressively resulting in that |
| 2593s | kill meanwhile Canada now they opt for |
| 2595s | the reset here looks like they do Great |
| 2598s | Britain hold on to the objective really |
| 2599s | small duplication coming through from W |
| 2601s | Mayo allows him to entirely ignore the |
| 2604s | alt deficit between backone and crimso |
| 2606s | while allowing J car to continue to take |
| 2608s | away that space and not let FS build the |
| 2611s | space for his DPS to begin to pop off |
| 2613s | Canada now are approaching however that |
| 2615s | nanab boost yet again most likely it's |
| 2617s | going to go onto seeka it's going to be |
| 2619s | up to Kai to be able to shut it down the |
| 2621s | overlock yeah this overclock is going to |
| 2623s | be huge for Great Britain as this is |
| 2625s | basically last fight territory for them |
| 2627s | anti grenade comes through on jaru but |
| 2629s | he's got the Primal Rage to keep himself |
| 2631s | healthy gets poked out to half now Kai |
| 2633s | pops the overclock but it doesn't even |
| 2634s | matter cuz Jar's able to find one Kai |
| 2636s | also on H 90% on the board Canada needs |
| 2638s | a fast reset now not to get picked off |
| 2640s | but Mo he found Seeker at 94% false is |
| 2643s | going to be to touch maybe with a diva |
| 2644s | bomb noxious was the only one of to |
| 2645s | touch F gets SLP before he can even |
| 2647s | touch now gets the of them off and |
| 2649s | killed so they can't even start the |
| 2650s | overtime and Great Britain will take |
| 2653s | round one it's so smart jaru comes in |
| 2656s | with the Primal to be able to displace |
| 2659s | crimo on the Anna so even if he has the |
| 2661s | Nana boost if he doesn't have line of |
| 2663s | sight onto his Echo he's not going to be |
| 2666s | able to use it and he actually goes down |
| 2668s | to the damage from the Primal and all of |
| 2670s | the focus Fire coming through from the |
| 2671s | rest of the team before the Nano boost |
| 2673s | can actually leave the Anna's holster |
| 2676s | and as a result seea goes down |
| 2677s | incredibly quickly |
| 2679s | afterwards what a shot from backb there |
| 2681s | on the end and sleep too I mean it took |
| 2683s | him a little bit to get back into it |
| 2684s | though Moxy but I mean he looks just as |
| 2687s | good as ever he looks really good and |
| 2689s | the fact that you able to get that sleep |
| 2691s | on the diva before they're actually able |
| 2692s | to tap on to that point meant that |
| 2694s | everyone from Great Britain could ignore |
| 2696s | W the self-destruct while still sticking |
| 2698s | on that point now however we move over |
| 2701s | to well and we've got something a little |
| 2703s | bit different pulse is coming out on the |
| 2705s | orisa if you've been following collegate |
| 2707s | this week this is something you're going |
| 2709s | to be incredibly familiar with yeah and |
| 2712s | poorn strategy coming through from |
| 2714s | Canada off to take that cage side jaru |
| 2716s | gets poked early so low going to give |
| 2719s | some old charge to Backbone though as |
| 2721s | long as they can stay relatively healthy |
| 2723s | Canada opting to play it slow also |
| 2725s | taking anti grenade what we're seeing |
| 2727s | noxious to use that cool then also |
| 2728s | immortality field from crimo here early |
| 2730s | but false able to find funny Astro off |
| 2733s | of the inside angle took a bit too much |
| 2735s | damage onto the I mean known Lucio |
| 2738s | player also mimon goes aggressive taken |
| 2740s | out by Kar able to find noxious but it's |
| 2742s | just one kill and they already have two |
| 2744s | on the side of Canada and the objective |
| 2747s | yeah this dive is just going to struggle |
| 2749s | to be able to find a footle you can't |
| 2751s | jump onto the orista you can't jump onto |
| 2753s | the toron Sea's always going to be up in |
| 2755s | the air making sure that W isn't able to |
| 2757s | intrude into the back line and bit out |
| 2760s | that immortality field and C has so much |
| 2762s | means of being able to keep himself |
| 2763s | sustained if he does get pressured by |
| 2765s | any form of poke coming from Kai this is |
| 2768s | going to be a really tough nut for Great |
| 2770s | Britain to be able to crack but it's |
| 2771s | probably going to come in the form of |
| 2773s | that nanab boost cuz with all of the |
| 2774s | damage they've taken from all of this |
| 2776s | poke they've already got the alter up I |
| 2778s | mean Seekers looking nasty as well so |
| 2780s | far on that Echo Great Britain takes |
| 2784s | that top right angle forced to use the |
| 2785s | bubble though with jaru early they have |
| 2786s | the anti still available backbone uses |
| 2790s | the grenade cool down there on the |
| 2791s | inside angle unfortunately doesn't |
| 2792s | connect with anybody but now 50% on the |
| 2793s | board they go with the Nano engage on |
| 2795s | the echo amone looking for cal cal able |
| 2798s | to escape with his life for now as that |
| 2800s | Nano runs away Mone goes so low has to |
| 2802s | go for the copy here as well not exactly |
| 2804s | a lot of value found just yet so far for |
| 2806s | the echo player of Great Britain and now |
| 2808s | on the comeback howal comes with his own |
| 2810s | ultimate false able to get the copy of |
| 2812s | amone gone also here's the pylon to keep |
| 2814s | everybody safe towards the main side Kai |
| 2817s | with the overclock able to find no just |
| 2818s | can he find any more Cal trades it back |
| 2820s | he's getting some damage but it's only |
| 2822s | into false who can just take all that |
| 2824s | damage to the face and get healed |
| 2826s | instantly Seeker do a so they have to be |
| 2829s | slow on the r test as Great Britain have |
| 2831s | control of this point now Seeker though |
| 2833s | trades back funny Astro so they've taken |
| 2834s | it slow and steady but it now results in |
| 2837s | backbone and K combining for two and now |
| 2839s | three false able to trade back to car |
| 2841s | but it might be too a little too late as |
| 2842s | Great Britain have control yeah gorgeous |
| 2844s | power slide there from Kai to be able to |
| 2846s | break into that back line and finally |
| 2848s | dismantle the supports that the Orissa |
| 2850s | is forced to back on out Tera surge is |
| 2852s | still in play with noxious coming so |
| 2854s | close to molon co we may well see the |
| 2856s | combination I really hope that we're |
| 2858s | going to get to see the Reddit play of |
| 2860s | Terra activated to pull everyone from |
| 2861s | Great Britain into the well it's a |
| 2863s | little bit of a gamble but you have 76% |
| 2866s | of the point to play around with and the |
| 2868s | crowd would lose it it would be insane |
| 2870s | if they did that noxious the left side |
| 2873s | again they just take this cage control |
| 2874s | ATI slows him down for now also the |
| 2876s | rally is here from funny Astro but |
| 2878s | backbone actually gets killed first to |
| 2880s | come back for the peel but now's the |
| 2881s | terar Surge from false really aggressive |
| 2884s | off of him and he actually lives until |
| 2885s | wo comes back resulting in getting that |
| 2887s | kill and Canada get the flip at 76 yeah |
| 2890s | that Terror surge while it wasn't into |
| 2892s | the well it did dismantle Great |
| 2893s | Britain's cap on the point by pulling |
| 2896s | everyone into the terror search Great |
| 2897s | Britain were not actually able to |
| 2898s | contest the cap coming out so Canada |
| 2900s | flip it and now Great Britain have to |
| 2902s | walk into a poke composition that's |
| 2904s | already set up in place |
| 2906s | Canada sitting back again giving a lot |
| 2908s | of space to Great Britain to set up on |
| 2910s | their di but maybe just playing more |
| 2911s | towards the anti-dive funny Astro also |
| 2914s | by the way is now on that Lucio roll to |
| 2916s | give them speed on that that on that |
| 2918s | engage now the N comes out on W made |
| 2920s | with the anti I mean it's just too hard |
| 2921s | for n just to live on the inside as well |
| 2923s | as W comes back for the peel onto Seeker |
| 2925s | able to find him too Cal did drop the |
| 2927s | ultimate only resulting in one kill and |
| 2930s | also it's going to cost him his life |
| 2931s | probably he actually does back up gets |
| 2933s | the shot on W no way Cal comes back for |
| 2936s | that angle also finds Kai what the heck |
| 2939s | Cal I mean they're not they're going to |
| 2940s | lose this fight but that was like three |
| 2942s | kills at insane timings Great Britain |
| 2944s | though have control of the objective |
| 2946s | arari is terrifying absolutely |
| 2948s | terrifying you can't really take a One V |
| 2950s | one fight against her especially if |
| 2951s | pylon is still in play and every single |
| 2953s | time you think you've got a pin down she |
| 2955s | just jumps away but Great Britain still |
| 2957s | of control of this point going to have |
| 2959s | overclock going to have duplicate |
| 2961s | they've got the advantage in terms of Al |
| 2963s | charge they just have to make sure yet |
| 2965s | again to shut the n boosted echo |
| 2968s | down setting up false towards the cage |
| 2970s | side missing his toor at the moment he's |
| 2972s | actually caught out position W to find |
| 2975s | him with some help from his team Seeker |
| 2978s | does trade it back though on the inside |
| 2980s | K with the overclock trying to find some |
| 2982s | value but Canada has rotated all the way |
| 2984s | around also an an comes to funny Astra |
| 2987s | who's so close to that beat drop and he |
| 2988s | doesn't get it it's unfortunately being |
| 2990s | saved for the next map basically as Cal |
| 2993s | able to find him Canada comes back at |
| 2995s | that flip and work go into round number |
| 2996s | three yeah arari just adds so much more |
| 2999s | damage potential to Canada's backline |
| 3002s | and even though you take out the aspect |
| 3004s | of either the brig or the luer to be |
| 3006s | able to safeguard an Anna if you move |
| 3007s | onto something like a dive composition |
| 3010s | because you're doing so much damage the |
| 3012s | dive doesn't really have a lot of teeth |
| 3014s | to it every single time you're about to |
| 3016s | make the engagement the araru finds a |
| 3018s | couple of opening shots and you're |
| 3020s | forced to burn all of your cooldowns so |
| 3022s | if you don't find the kill immediately |
| 3023s | you have to back on out and that just |
| 3025s | allows the team with control point to |
| 3027s | get even more time with it underneath |
| 3030s | their hat Now we move on to ruins and |
| 3033s | yet again we're going to see a |
| 3034s | composition swap coming through from |
| 3036s | Canada this is a composition that you're |
| 3038s | going to be expecting to see a whole lot |
| 3040s | of Sigma is incredibly strong at the |
| 3042s | moment and a huge aspect of it is down |
| 3045s | to being able to shut out the problem |
| 3047s | and threat that the Bastion provides |
| 3049s | Great Britain however not running a |
| 3051s | Bastion jar is not going to have fun |
| 3054s | diving into this as a doom first |
| 3056s | J's playing back at the moment takes and |
| 3059s | poke as well Great Britain trying to |
| 3060s | heal up meanwhile Canada walks towards |
| 3063s | that statue side meanwhile mimon |
| 3066s | actually has a bit of an off angle there |
| 3068s | as well so can keep pressuring out this |
| 3070s | baset but now they go in with the |
| 3071s | transform from Seeker into that tank |
| 3074s | mode CaRu takes a lot of poke that just |
| 3076s | gives backbone some ultimate charge |
| 3078s | however Canada gets the point first |
| 3079s | however Kai again with that charged up |
| 3082s | shot able to find crimso in the neutral |
| 3084s | game and that's why you have Kai that |
| 3086s | soj and able to find those opening picks |
| 3088s | and off of that Great Britain should |
| 3090s | easily flip this point back Seer able to |
| 3092s | find one with the grenade but yeah Great |
| 3095s | Britain will flip it back at 15% yeah |
| 3097s | only 15% that is huge because one thing |
| 3099s | that this Canadian composition has is |
| 3101s | delay right you have to bait the Bastion |
| 3104s | transform you have to bait the accretion |
| 3105s | coming through from FSE you have to bait |
| 3107s | the immortality field and only then are |
| 3109s | you actually going to be able to go in |
| 3110s | and take a proper engagement so the fact |
| 3112s | that Great Britain are able to do it as |
| 3114s | quickly as they are is absolutely huge |
| 3116s | in terms of can not being able to use |
| 3118s | this to Al they walk in but immediate e |
| 3121s | grenade comes through onto crimo nice |
| 3123s | immortality field usage but he's still |
| 3125s | melted by the beam W Mayon finds those |
| 3129s | two kills throws the grenades on the |
| 3130s | false false does trade it back but I |
| 3133s | mean Great Britain get another hold and |
| 3135s | Canada has to reset this is where the |
| 3137s | Canadian composition is going to |
| 3138s | struggle being able to remove themselves |
| 3141s | and put themselves in a position where |
| 3142s | the bat actually going to be able to get |
| 3143s | line of sight before de Mayon by J car |
| 3146s | even funny Astro to an extent can just |
| 3148s | jump on them before they're ready to |
| 3151s | actually set up and put this Bastion |
| 3153s | composition in |
| 3154s | motion keep going to that Coastal side |
| 3157s | too allowing backbone to get some easy |
| 3159s | an grenades off also on the point the |
| 3162s | car goes low so he gets the Nano boost |
| 3164s | on the side of backbone n comes through |
| 3166s | as well on Canada so they're slowing |
| 3168s | down actually backing up entirely making |
| 3170s | sure they don't take this fight copy has |
| 3172s | to come through Mayon he was a bit low |
| 3174s | on the front line here comes that |
| 3176s | ultimate from crimzo as well to gave |
| 3177s | them a bit of sustain also prevent that |
| 3180s | push noxus also finds that pulse bomb on |
| 3181s | the backbone through that rally of asro |
| 3183s | also Seeker will find jaru So Great |
| 3185s | Britain slowly getting torn apart here |
| 3187s | funny Astro able to find noxious after |
| 3190s | he's a bit alone towards that point as |
| 3192s | well with some ultimates on the point is |
| 3194s | sit in Canada but they're getting picked |
| 3196s | apart cuz they're not want to use |
| 3197s | anyone's able to find Cai as well as |
| 3200s | found the lamp of Crim whoever Great |
| 3202s | Britain kind of playing slow do they opt |
| 3203s | to go for a fast engage on a false in |
| 3205s | the |
| 3206s | point I mean Cal's missing and because |
| 3209s | he got taken out now he's going to be |
| 3210s | behind him sber wants to pull the |
| 3213s | trigger on the overclock and Seeker as a |
| 3216s | result is forced to use the artillery |
| 3217s | strike yeah I mean that was both PR |
| 3220s | clocks and that artillery strike towards |
| 3222s | the point primm's over to find Mone as |
| 3223s | well Great Britain I mean they are not |
| 3226s | expecting this moveability from Canada |
| 3229s | after to back up now Great Britain who |
| 3232s | have some ultimates at least for next |
| 3233s | fight though yeah Canada needed to push |
| 3235s | that aggressively they needed to buy Cal |
| 3237s | that bubble of time to be able to BU |
| 3239s | into sound barrier because Great Britain |
| 3241s | are coming in with both DPS ultimates |
| 3243s | for this fight if you don't have that |
| 3245s | sustainability and you get baited into |
| 3247s | using immortality field you're just |
| 3250s | done getting a ton of space towards that |
| 3252s | point overclock now pop for Kai be dro |
| 3255s | the counter it connects on the false as |
| 3257s | well the overclock surely will burn |
| 3260s | through the beat but false goes solo on |
| 3262s | the point forcing the immortality field |
| 3264s | out of crimzo also the stun comes |
| 3266s | through onto that back line too crimo |
| 3269s | though still has that ultimate the only |
| 3270s | ultimate in the lobby besides mone's |
| 3271s | Coffey an comes through from back bone |
| 3274s | connects on the Seeker but do they have |
| 3275s | the followup damage it doesn't look like |
| 3277s | it crims was able to find jaru drop that |
| 3279s | drop the field onto jakaro to counter |
| 3282s | that dive a lot of heals coming through |
| 3284s | from him as well towards that point Rin |
| 3286s | trying to sustain till jakaro can come |
| 3288s | back they've got an anab boost available |
| 3289s | but the point flip did come through Ash |
| 3291s | to find false 94% on the board as well |
| 3294s | last fight there rally comes through |
| 3296s | from funny Astro Mone goes aggressive |
| 3298s | onto Seeker as well Kai able to find cow |
| 3301s | so through this damage in all the kills |
| 3303s | they're flipping the point at 86% and |
| 3305s | they hold on to the Nano boost Great |
| 3307s | Britain still have an ultimate they can |
| 3309s | essentially package parcel it put it |
| 3311s | onto W maymon and leave it on Canada's |
| 3313s | doorstep forces onto the diva seeka the |
| 3316s | Sombra crims the KIRO just to try and |
| 3318s | touch yeah I mean they do get the touch |
| 3321s | off but it is a bit messy like you said |
| 3323s | noxious comes through has to recall |
| 3325s | nanab boost still available as well nox |
| 3327s | just goes down that's already one now |
| 3329s | they dropped the nanab Boost I mean |
| 3330s | that's a ton of damage on from W Mayo n |
| 3333s | comes through on the Seeker as well and |
| 3335s | yeah it's nothing really else you could |
| 3336s | do here on the side of Canada except |
| 3338s | just run into the point and get deleted |
| 3341s | by Great Britain who flipped it at 87% |
| 3343s | will take the first map of ilos it's |
| 3346s | going to be a close one Dustin I feel |
| 3348s | that was a lot of count to picking |
| 3350s | coming through and you can definitely |
| 3351s | tell that Canada were analyzing Great |
| 3354s | Britain strategies from the conferences |
| 3356s | they knew to expect the echo coming |
| 3357s | through they knew to expect backone on |
| 3359s | the Anna to enable a dive composition I |
| 3362s | cannot wait to see what both of these |
| 3364s | teams have in the back pocket for the |
| 3367s | maps that we go to next cuz you have to |
| 3369s | remember yes Great Britain go up one map |
| 3371s | ahead in the series but now it's |
| 3373s | Canada's turn to be able to hand select |
| 3376s | the map that they take us to |
| 3378s | after oh yeah I'm so curious to see what |
| 3381s | that is let's take a look at the |
| 3382s | highlights as well of that map I mean it |
| 3384s | was such a close back and forth match up |
| 3386s | between Canada and Great Britain but you |
| 3388s | know I mean both of these Echoes look |
| 3390s | good until that third round Moxy where |
| 3392s | Mone really just caught fire yeah W Mayo |
| 3395s | was doing so many good Dives the teaming |
| 3398s | and coordination as well to be able to |
| 3401s | just jump onto false especially towards |
| 3403s | the end but we cannot take away from |
| 3405s | backbone backbone flexing onto the Anna |
| 3409s | is something that you have to be |
| 3410s | absolutely terrified of this is |
| 3412s | something that both of these teams have |
| 3414s | in Spade when it comes to advantages |
| 3417s | it's flexibility we're going to be |
| 3418s | seeing a lot of different Heroes coming |
| 3420s | through from all of these different |
| 3421s | players and they can all play them at |
| 3423s | insanely high levels but a lot of what w |
| 3425s | Mayon and Kai were able to do was off |
| 3428s | the back of those anties you correctly |
| 3430s | called it Canada by going Coastal side |
| 3433s | kept going hit getting hit into those |
| 3435s | antad and eventually had to change up |
| 3437s | their rotation entirely going for side |
| 3439s | alley thus putting them into a lot more |
| 3442s | threat from the Doom punches yeah and |
| 3445s | Canada I mean obviously look good more |
| 3447s | towards the uh you know when they could |
| 3448s | play aggressive but unfortunately still |
| 3450s | drop ilios meanwhile the next map will |
| 3452s | go into Moxy he talk was picked circuit |
| 3454s | Royale is going to be that map number |
| 3456s | two yeah this is a map that has sort of |
| 3458s | already had a decided meta right it's |
| 3462s | something that we'll talk about however |
| 3464s | after the break because I do believe |
| 3466s | that we'll be going back right after |
| 3468s | this don't go any more |
| 3471s | [Music] |

| 3655s | [Music] |
| 3663s | welcome back everybody as we take a look |
| 3665s | at the Players sitting in their desks |
| 3667s | getting ready for that at number two |
| 3669s | obviously Moxy Great Britain took that |
| 3671s | map number one it was close however they |
| 3673s | did look at the stronger team leading |
| 3675s | into that or after that map leading into |
| 3676s | circuit Royale but this next map MOX him |
| 3679s | we saw a little bit of a tidbit on well |
| 3681s | what could possibly played on it but |
| 3683s | maybe Canada has a bit of a strategy |
| 3685s | that for circuit Royale yeah you can see |
| 3687s | that GRE Bren have done their homework |
| 3689s | like the desk said Canada have an |
| 3691s | insanely cracked back line you saw what |
| 3694s | happened when Cal was left alive on that |
| 3696s | arari the thing is especially when we |
| 3699s | saw on well when false went on to the |
| 3701s | orisa every single time the orisa tried |
| 3703s | to peel for jaru when he dove into the |
| 3706s | back line Kai just used it as an |
| 3709s | opportunity W mmon as well to be able to |
| 3711s | get into a position either with the echo |
| 3713s | or on the seran with that power was |
| 3715s | slide to be able to bite into the back |
| 3717s | line and punish them and that's |
| 3719s | something that we've seen time and time |
| 3721s | again it happened on ruins as well every |
| 3724s | single time Canada wanted to make a push |
| 3726s | W Mayan immediately jumped onto the |
| 3728s | Baptist forc the immortality field and |
| 3730s | broke the cycle of cool Downs that |
| 3732s | Canada was hoping to set up heading into |
| 3735s | circuit it's likely that we're going to |
| 3737s | be seeing the sigma mirror so it's going |
| 3738s | to be a little bit harder to be able to |
| 3740s | break into the back line but you know |
| 3742s | what else we're going to be seeing is |
| 3744s | it's again a little bit of a mixup |
| 3747s | coming through from Great Britain side |
| 3749s | first we had the bone back now we have |
| 3752s | the uh mayw own this is going to be |
| 3756s | incredibly interesting to see how this |
| 3758s | turns out I talked to W Mayon before we |
| 3761s | actually headed into these group |
| 3763s | playoffs and he confessed to me that he |
| 3765s | has been practicing the Baptist for a |
| 3767s | little bit of time so I'm expecting a |
| 3769s | Baptist pick coming through from |
| 3772s | him yeah I mean for first of all I mean |
| 3775s | did they have to change seats there of |
| 3777s | the role like I think backbone would |
| 3779s | change seats with W there too playing |
| 3781s | musical chair they have to I guess it's |
| 3783s | like DPS to sit in this chair I always |
| 3785s | thought that was kind of silly and |
| 3787s | OverWatch they did that too it's like |
| 3788s | yeah if you do you can't just make |
| 3789s | changes really no you got to actually |
| 3790s | change where you're sitting which |
| 3791s | computer you're at cuz DPS is sitting in |
| 3794s | a specific spot you know I guess it's uh |
| 3796s | the supports are always in the back if |
| 3797s | you notice the DPS is in the front and |
| 3799s | the Limelight meanwhile you got funny |
| 3800s | Astro in the back just hiding you know |
| 3802s | behind everybody else and now w you know |
| 3805s | is in that same position but obviously |
| 3807s | talked about it Moxy a very unique |
| 3808s | strategy coming out from Great Britain |
| 3809s | huh yeah it's definitely interesting but |
| 3813s | he has been playing a lot of Baptist |
| 3814s | he's feeling incredibly confident |
| 3816s | Baptist is technically a hit scan even |
| 3818s | though he does fall into the role of |
| 3820s | support so it does make sense that |
| 3822s | things like Anna who relies so much on |
| 3824s | her accuracy and Baptist who Ries so |
| 3826s | much on his aim as well are probably the |
| 3829s | easiest support to be able uh for DPS to |
| 3832s | flex on two yeah I mean it's |
| 3835s | bti is a very high you know APM sort of |
| 3837s | hero a hero that requires a lot of uh |
| 3840s | you know coordination between your heal |
| 3842s | and your in your damage so you know |
| 3844s | maybe that's a maybe it's a nuanced of a |
| 3846s | topic for a lot of DPS players though |
| 3847s | Moxy you think W Mayon has that in him |
| 3849s | to to to be able to ma maximize value on |
| 3852s | Baptist we'll see well we'll definitely |
| 3855s | see at now however we can talk about |
| 3857s | Canada because they are on the defending |
| 3859s | side so we do know exactly what |
| 3860s | composition they're going to be coming |
| 3861s | out with no surprises that noxis is |
| 3864s | going to be playing the May the May is |
| 3866s | incredibly scary on this patch yeah they |
| 3869s | were like okay we'll remove a little bit |
| 3870s | of crowd control but then they buffed |
| 3873s | her primary to do 100 damage per second |
| 3876s | and that is absolutely terrifying in the |
| 3879s | close because you also have to remember |
| 3882s | that it is that beam it's not a |
| 3883s | projectile right so the sigma the grasp |
| 3887s | can't actually Matrix it you are forced |
| 3890s | to take the full amount of damage or |
| 3893s | burn your accretion cool down on trying |
| 3895s | to push the me out of |
| 3896s | range pushing already Great Britain get |
| 3899s | that car control Canada oping not go for |
| 3902s | that forward spawn hold Wall comes out |
| 3905s | early kind of did a little bait and |
| 3906s | switch also counter Wall comes through |
| 3907s | from backbone forces the links of Canada |
| 3911s | away for now also got the immortality |
| 3912s | field out early Rock comes through on to |
| 3916s | Astro moving around the corner Kai able |
| 3918s | to find that pick again I mean he's just |
| 3920s | so consistent on the sojin thus far |
| 3923s | riton does have backbone a bit low here |
| 3925s | however they do have the main advantage |
| 3927s | and just easily walk on a can of the |
| 3928s | here Kai able to find Seer as well and |
| 3931s | on the knous I mean Great Britain what a |
| 3934s | first fight for them backbone had the |
| 3936s | better wall he's actually able to |
| 3938s | isolate one of the Canadian players on |
| 3940s | the stairs that's why you saw the |
| 3941s | immortality field come out so early and |
| 3944s | the second that it was out Great Britain |
| 3946s | knew that they could pressure funny asro |
| 3947s | even getting in position to be able to |
| 3949s | knock seea before the transformation for |
| 3951s | the Bastion rolls back online means that |
| 3954s | great Britain can just keep pushing keep |
| 3956s | pressuring that front line and now |
| 3958s | they've been able to cross Corner oh |
| 3960s | that's the better wall though noxious is |
| 3962s | able to absolutely backboard backbone |
| 3964s | and he has gone within seconds yeah I |
| 3967s | mean after that great BR just slows it |
| 3969s | down soort does Canada though I mean |
| 3970s | they don't want to go for more even |
| 3972s | though they got that kill cuz they know |
| 3973s | G probably got that ultimate Advantage |
| 3974s | right well crimso however does have |
| 3976s | amplification Matrix before Great |
| 3978s | Britain something that W has to be |
| 3979s | incredibly worried of considering that |
| 3981s | they' lost their main don't have the |
| 3983s | wall to be able to block the damage the |
| 3985s | second at the window pops open there's |
| 3987s | both may walls out of the equation crimo |
| 3989s | drops that window but now here comes |
| 3991s | that gravitic flux mimon threw it able |
| 3993s | to find crimso no immortality fi to save |
| 3996s | Seeker backbone also on the KN just I |
| 3998s | mean Griffin looking great so far on |
| 4000s | circuit Roy Royale as well we know it's |
| 4002s | a long map though but Great Britain I |
| 4004s | mean this first objective this first |
| 4006s | point made them look amazing right you |
| 4007s | want to know how to deal with a bashing |
| 4009s | in your quick play just take a look at |
| 4011s | jaru cycling all of his abilities so |
| 4014s | first amplification Matrix pops open |
| 4016s | seek is trying to use the transformation |
| 4017s | to actually be able to chunk down the |
| 4019s | damage uses accretion to be able to |
| 4021s | knock the Bastion backwards doesn't |
| 4022s | cancel the transformation however does |
| 4024s | mean that he's not firing then goes for |
| 4026s | the graphitic flux which means that the |
| 4028s | Bastion can't actually see through the |
| 4029s | window and can't melt anyone and now |
| 4031s | we're on ramp where backbone already has |
| 4033s | the blizzard bolts up and Canada don't |
| 4035s | have a sound barrier to be able to |
| 4037s | mitigate it they had to know that the |
| 4040s | blizzard was coming through from |
| 4041s | backbone right but now here comes that |
| 4043s | gravitic blun on the beat drop to keep |
| 4045s | them healthy as well from Astro so at |
| 4047s | least they forc that out but Canada I |
| 4049s | mean they're they're working with some a |
| 4051s | very low amount of ultimates at the |
| 4052s | moment they're coming up with that |
| 4053s | blizzard also another window in his |
| 4056s | second but they're down a person waiting |
| 4058s | for them to come back from Spawn |
| 4059s | meanwhile gra have that overclock ready |
| 4061s | to go from Kai he's looking towards |
| 4063s | noxious who is making his return with |
| 4065s | that blizzard available git know that's |
| 4066s | coming up so they dro the overclock |
| 4068s | early on to false get him so low now |
| 4070s | that blizzard comes through a defensive |
| 4072s | blizzard though so nobody's really |
| 4073s | caught out in fact noxious is the one |
| 4075s | caught out by Kai amazing pick off from |
| 4078s | him gets that blizzard out of the |
| 4080s | equation nobody could follow through I |
| 4081s | mean Kai is just ripping through Canada |
| 4083s | at the moment be Dro now they can go |
| 4085s | aggressive Seeker oh my God 4K from him |
| 4088s | to hold after the beat drop it landed |
| 4091s | that's why you're cautious of the |
| 4093s | Bastion it looks like it's going |
| 4095s | perfectly for Great Britain like you |
| 4097s | said it's a defensive blizzard coming |
| 4098s | through from noxious Kai with the soan |
| 4100s | has some ability to be able to dodge it |
| 4102s | and then punish the players from Canada |
| 4104s | decide were looking to be able to set up |
| 4105s | kills off of the back of it but they're |
| 4108s | not able to take out seeka now the |
| 4109s | artillery strike is going to come |
| 4110s | through delaying Great Britain's push up |
| 4113s | onto this High Ground allowing force a |
| 4115s | little bit more time to be able to build |
| 4116s | this flux and try to keep jaru in check |
| 4120s | there's the flux canid actually reacting |
| 4122s | to it better than they did earlier to |
| 4124s | that may ultimate Seeker able to find |
| 4126s | Astro as well W goes so low on the bapti |
| 4129s | both supports gone Kai understanding |
| 4131s | that this is lost team fight at the |
| 4134s | moment backbone's able to find Seeker |
| 4136s | but you know resets coming through for |
| 4137s | Great Britain now with 2 minutes and 24 |
| 4139s | seconds on the clock we've cycled back |
| 4141s | though Dustin backbone has a blizzard |
| 4143s | Cal does not have the sound barrier |
| 4146s | fulse is going to have to either kinetic |
| 4148s | grasp this or Crim is going to need to |
| 4150s | burn the immortality field the good news |
| 4152s | for Canada is that there isn't a second |
| 4154s | ultimate to follow that up if they still |
| 4156s | had the flux that's when Canada is going |
| 4158s | to start to sweat because you're in a |
| 4159s | lose L |
| 4161s | situation mayw walk comes through but |
| 4163s | does not save them from the flux |
| 4164s | immortality field had to be popped keep |
| 4166s | great pit alive there bit too much |
| 4169s | damage on the side of Canada but now |
| 4171s | they don't have any ultimates besides |
| 4172s | that window meanwhile Great Britain have |
| 4174s | their own window lizzard and beat drop |
| 4176s | available understanding that Canada just |
| 4178s | trying to play Passive react those |
| 4180s | ultimates accordingly but now they |
| 4182s | actually push in force that window out |
| 4184s | now counter window comes through |
| 4185s | blizzard is here but Seeker threw it |
| 4187s | just connects onto the grenade of w Mone |
| 4190s | deletes him before the beat could even |
| 4191s | land from Astro and now they're just up |
| 4193s | a member beat drop pretty much useless |
| 4196s | there for the side of Great Britain now |
| 4197s | have to just run away as they wait for |
| 4199s | their Baptist to come back from spawn |
| 4201s | which he is able to regroup however this |
| 4204s | is a bit of a slow fight now with a |
| 4205s | minute and 17 seconds left oh and they L |
| 4208s | Kai on the rotation up as well circuit |
| 4212s | rail has always been defensive favored |
| 4214s | as long as you can control this High |
| 4216s | ground and just pick apart the attacking |
| 4218s | team as they come through and one thing |
| 4220s | that you can punish with the sigma |
| 4222s | unlike the Reinhardt that Shield is no |
| 4224s | one near is flexible in being able to |
| 4226s | cover all of those angles you can hang |
| 4227s | it in one position and one position only |
| 4230s | and that leaves everyone so so |
| 4232s | vulnerable if everyone's not on the same |
| 4234s | wavelength on when to rotate Seeker |
| 4237s | Unchained at the moment I mean so far |
| 4239s | he's looked amazing meanwhile at the |
| 4241s | corner false is holding so a bit of a |
| 4243s | different approach to this fight as they |
| 4245s | drop the artillery strike toaru goes so |
| 4247s | low so he comes back with his last shot |
| 4248s | toaru able to juggle around that shield |
| 4251s | now they push in with the wall but it's |
| 4254s | to a blizzard now jaru gets frozen his |
| 4255s | very to save him it doesn't look like it |
| 4257s | ball able to get mimon dakaru also fell |
| 4260s | 22 seconds left now I mean this is |
| 4262s | desperation hour now for Great Britain |
| 4265s | yeah Kai used the overclock power slid |
| 4267s | away from the blizzard but they still |
| 4269s | going to lose players in that fight and |
| 4271s | they have to wait for a regroup and yet |
| 4273s | again they're going to face the exact |
| 4274s | same problem only this time it's not |
| 4276s | just a Bastion they're walking into it's |
| 4278s | a flux and an as well there's a flux |
| 4281s | Avid the rock as well so it doesn't get |
| 4282s | canceled FS now has to back up from back |
| 4284s | but nobody touches oh my God Canada with |
| 4288s | far too much pressure will stop Great |
| 4290s | Britain in the Street's phase yeah |
| 4291s | Canada are doing a very good job |
| 4293s | honestly where it all falls apart for |
| 4295s | Great Britain is that push where backone |
| 4298s | tries to go for the blizzard to be able |
| 4300s | to just isolate out uh the pressure |
| 4302s | coming through from crimson's |
| 4304s | amplification Matrix unfortunately |
| 4306s | because they played that exactly the |
| 4309s | same a couple of fights prior Canada are |
| 4312s | expecting it and the way that actually |
| 4314s | positions himself with the Bastion |
| 4316s | around the amplification Matrix he's a |
| 4318s | lot further away from it amplification |
| 4320s | Matrix remember does not have a maximum |
| 4322s | range that it applies to projectiles |
| 4324s | going through you can be as far away |
| 4326s | from it as you want as long as the |
| 4327s | projectile travels through the window it |
| 4329s | gets Amplified in damage as a result |
| 4331s | Seeker is out of the range of the |
| 4333s | blizzard and still is able to use the |
| 4336s | amplification Matrix on the batching to |
| 4338s | just melt for Great Britain I mean it's |
| 4341s | it's it's horrific to deal with it so |
| 4342s | hard MOX I mean how do you deal with the |
| 4344s | likes of Seeker on that Bastion you know |
| 4346s | with that combination and Synergy with |
| 4348s | the Baptist well first of all you just |
| 4349s | have to bait it I mean we saw it they |
| 4351s | were successful with it on their first |
| 4353s | push of route a we're going to very |
| 4356s | quickly have a look at a replay as you |
| 4358s | can see that it's a wall coming through |
| 4360s | from noxious to make sure that no one |
| 4362s | from Great Britain can actually tap in |
| 4364s | time and keep that contest going tough a |
| 4368s | lot of these teams have gotten so good |
| 4369s | at you know with little time left on the |
| 4371s | clock just you know making sure nobody |
| 4373s | can even touch that payload now on the |
| 4375s | attacking side great or Canada is now on |
| 4378s | it Great Britain though you know they |
| 4379s | got to hold at least one time here on |
| 4381s | this first phase you would think to have |
| 4383s | a bit more of a chance oh that Shield is |
| 4385s | just going to melt 700 Health in the |
| 4387s | facee of a transform Bastion is going to |
| 4388s | be gone within seconds for such an |
| 4391s | advantage but see could goes down first |
| 4395s | and before the immortality fi could even |
| 4396s | deploy I mean that was so quick backbone |
| 4399s | nice May wall also the follow up there |
| 4401s | that's that first pick that Great |
| 4402s | Britain desperately needed yeah this is |
| 4404s | what you can punish the Bastion in terms |
| 4406s | of Mobility is severely limited as |
| 4409s | opposed to something like the soan Kai's |
| 4411s | going to be able to look for off angles |
| 4412s | but if SE tries to go off in his own |
| 4415s | he's immediately going to get absolutely |
| 4417s | extinguished I was going to say I mean |
| 4419s | backb was such an aggressive off angle |
| 4421s | there able to fight that pick again I |
| 4424s | mean Canada now minute off the clock |
| 4426s | already yeah and Great Britain every |
| 4427s | single time they see see could go for |
| 4429s | that transformation they have the corner |
| 4431s | to be able to hold back on to wait for |
| 4433s | the wheels to go away away from the |
| 4434s | Bastion and then move right back into |
| 4436s | position this time around they're not |
| 4437s | actually able to wall off the Bastion |
| 4439s | and it's actually backbone walking in |
| 4441s | front of the bullet and using the m i |
| 4444s | block to be able to stop any of the |
| 4446s | damage how's he not dead I mean then it |
| 4448s | gets the the the suck from false or from |
| 4450s | jaru amazing work from Great Britain now |
| 4453s | they go aggressive with their own |
| 4455s | Baptist window counter flank comes |
| 4457s | through from Canada but it's really just |
| 4458s | such a small angle to work with there a |
| 4461s | Seeker does get the transform maybe hit |
| 4463s | by the Rock there but it's backbone |
| 4465s | again to find Cal and then not just the |
| 4467s | bone of back doing so much right now |
| 4469s | also dropped the blizzard able to find |
| 4471s | the follow up there is Kai not |
| 4473s | necessarily three kills for him directly |
| 4475s | there but I mean that was amazing work |
| 4477s | from backb yeah and Canada they don't |
| 4479s | have the sound barer yet because every |
| 4481s | single kill that Great Britain's been |
| 4482s | able to find a lot of it has just been |
| 4484s | immediate burst damage coming through |
| 4486s | from either backbone or Kai as a result |
| 4488s | Cal with that slow burn heal up of |
| 4490s | delicio has not been able to retain |
| 4492s | ultimate charge in compar into someone |
| 4494s | like funny Astro who's constantly |
| 4496s | keeping the team helped up from all of |
| 4497s | the pl coming through from the Bas Sigma |
| 4499s | and mate it's underrated how hard that |
| 4502s | Dynamic is to deal with as Lucio player |
| 4504s | now the gratic comes through from jaru |
| 4506s | connects on the noxious forces that ice |
| 4508s | block to come through artillery strike |
| 4509s | forces the side of Great Britain to play |
| 4511s | a little bit slower they avoid all the |
| 4513s | damage and backbone again crimo removed |
| 4516s | did not expect the M be such aggressive |
| 4518s | position without his team now the G clux |
| 4520s | come through but it be dropped to |
| 4521s | counter it so all the damage is gone |
| 4523s | back when all find tier oh my God he |
| 4526s | really is putting the team on his back |
| 4527s | at the moment Great Britain minute and |
| 4530s | 24 seconds left for Canada take point a |
| 4532s | cal goes for the one one with Astro will |
| 4534s | lose it after all and they're basically |
| 4536s | going to have a minute left to capture |
| 4537s | point a and Canada tried to combo they |
| 4540s | tried to use the floods to bait out |
| 4542s | sandar and then when the players of |
| 4544s | Great Britain fell noxious through in |
| 4546s | the blizzard to try to keep those |
| 4548s | players stuffed up so that se was able |
| 4550s | to do something with the Bastion that |
| 4552s | Great Britain anticipates that w m uses |
| 4554s | the lamp to be able to save everybody |
| 4557s | and no one Falls and as a result Canada |
| 4559s | do not have a single kill potential |
| 4561s | ultimate other than this amplification |
| 4563s | Matrix which Great Britain can just out |
| 4565s | kite or match with one of the RS yeah |
| 4567s | it's just going to be so hard to deal |
| 4568s | with oh I'm just a massive fan of great |
| 4570s | OverWatch and Great Britain's doing it |
| 4572s | incredibly phenomenally right now now |
| 4575s | Canada has to walk through touch that |
| 4576s | payload dropping the window on the cart |
| 4578s | as well to keep it moving forward |
| 4580s | seager's going to have to go off at the |
| 4582s | moment if Gada wants a chance to take |
| 4583s | this first point doing a lot of damage |
| 4586s | to jakaro at the moment forces him to |
| 4588s | back up but the heals are strong there |
| 4589s | from won Kai also dropped the overclock |
| 4591s | needs a little bit of a top up to make |
| 4593s | sure he doesn't die does get it also |
| 4595s | able to walk through backbone off the |
| 4597s | shot from Kai able to find cow on the |
| 4600s | outside also has that blizzard 12 |
| 4602s | seconds left to go Canada they don't |
| 4604s | even have false for this fight now |
| 4606s | either and they don't have ultimates to |
| 4608s | 6 seconds left I don't even think he |
| 4610s | could really touch this payload Great |
| 4611s | Britain they needed a fantastic point a |
| 4614s | and they did it 20 over Canada Moxy |
| 4617s | today Great Britain shutting down all of |
| 4620s | the haters what a series this is huge |
| 4623s | for Great Britain we talked about it |
| 4625s | coming into this right this is likely |
| 4627s | going to dictate who is able to come out |
| 4629s | first seat in group b and that is going |
| 4631s | to have significant ramifications for |
| 4634s | the teams that you're going up against |
| 4635s | immediately into the quarterfinals |
| 4637s | Canada had a lot to prove coming into |
| 4639s | this we did see that they were prepared |
| 4641s | for the strategies that Great Britain |
| 4643s | would thr with them Unfortunately they |
| 4645s | weren't able to topple the sigma on |
| 4649s | circuit Royal the last push that they |
| 4651s | had with all of those ultimates they're |
| 4653s | just trying desperately to melt jaru do |
| 4656s | anything they can with the Bastion with |
| 4658s | the amplification Matrix because the |
| 4660s | second that the sigma Falls they can use |
| 4662s | that sber to get really aggressive speed |
| 4664s | directly onto that soan so they can at |
| 4666s | least pick up point a and get a little |
| 4668s | bit more time but unfortunately the |
| 4671s | basing just has no Mobility no potential |
| 4673s | to be able B to take up those off angles |
| 4675s | and just continue to get shut down push |
| 4677s | after push after Push by things like the |
| 4679s | sojen and backbone on that M really good |
| 4681s | stuff coming through from Great Britain |
| 4683s | making me incredibly proud to be wearing |
| 4685s | the red |
| 4686s | white no bias here today h Moxy no we |
| 4690s | have a lot of biases I mean this is |
| 4691s | obviously a uh know a fun little thing |
| 4693s | to root for your nation and obviously |
| 4695s | World Cup has been you know that big |
| 4698s | feature thing to do in OverWatch where |
| 4699s | you know you can kind of come together |
| 4700s | root for your team and Great Britain |
| 4702s | obviously not disappointing like said |
| 4703s | Moxy I mean they played it phenomenally |
| 4705s | maybe people some some people doubted |
| 4706s | the W on Baptist pick or something but |
| 4709s | when you have backbone doing what he did |
| 4711s | on May I mean I guess that's the |
| 4713s | strategy you got to do yeah I mean you |
| 4715s | saw it right push after push after push |
| 4717s | that Sigma did not fall it's always a |
| 4719s | little bit dicey when you try and move a |
| 4721s | DPS player onto a support role because |
| 4723s | you can still have the accuracy but |
| 4725s | being able to time those cool Downs is |
| 4726s | so instrumental to being a successful |
| 4729s | Baptist and W M Own Credit to him he |
| 4731s | used the regenerative first he used the |
| 4733s | motality field and the amplification |
| 4735s | matrixes were perfectly placed as well |
| 4737s | really good stuff from the whole team |
| 4739s | yeah overall fantastic work from Great |
| 4741s | Britain they'll be moving forward in |
| 4742s | this round robin with that first win |
| 4745s | which is absolutely huge from them um |
| 4747s | but we have another game coming up in |
| 4749s | just a bit guys so we'll have to we'll |
| 4751s | have to go to a break actually no we're |
| 4752s | not going to break sorry we'll go to the |
| 4753s | desk first uh to kind of bring you guys |
| 4756s | back around what happened in that |
| 4757s | [Music] |
| 4759s | match thank you so much Dustin and Moxy |
| 4763s | ah just like Great Britain I'm starting |
| 4766s | my day with |
| 4767s | a feels good we all knew it we all knew |
| 4770s | it never doubt it no but this is exactly |
| 4773s | what I meant like when we talked during |
| 4776s | the predictions like they came prepared |
| 4778s | the coaching on the team has been spot |
| 4780s | on they did their homework they knew |
| 4782s | what to expect from Canada and it took |
| 4783s | him out let's take a look at the |
| 4785s | highlights to see how Great Britain got |
| 4787s | it done I mean map one to be fair ilos |
| 4790s | that could have gone either way Johnny |
| 4792s | like that was so close |
| 4794s | yeah it was really close I mean it |
| 4795s | kicked off with backbone just having a |
| 4797s | great honor game which was really good I |
| 4800s | mean Theos on to J CaRu on the wi as |
| 4802s | well getting picks in the backline um |
| 4804s | and this looked solid from Great Britain |
| 4806s | honestly and something they can lean on |
| 4808s | later on here in the tournament it did |
| 4809s | look close especially when Canada |
| 4811s | swapped over to these slower |
| 4812s | compositions integrating the Tor for |
| 4814s | example falls on the diva um so it was a |
| 4818s | really close ilos but honestly like |
| 4820s | positively surprised by Great Britain |
| 4822s | coming out with back on the and then |
| 4824s | also doing some additional hero swaps on |
| 4826s | circuit real or roll swaps rather um |
| 4828s | putting back back on uh the May of |
| 4830s | course here on C Royale so really |
| 4833s | convincing win by Great Britain to be |
| 4834s | honest when I predicted Canada to go |
| 4837s | through here and I predicted them to be |
| 4839s | uh solid the coaching experience zo you |
| 4841s | all right you you made the main point |
| 4844s | they they've been here before they know |
| 4845s | what they're doing yeah and I mean Great |
| 4848s | Britain I think having backbone like on |
| 4850s | bone back you keep wanting to say it |
| 4852s | don't you oh that too I I I'll I'll get |
| 4854s | to that later but I mean just backbone |
| 4856s | on that may he was just a menace and |
| 4857s | just you know we all know how great |
| 4859s | backbone is on that may and funny as |
| 4861s | show that Lucio as well it was just too |
| 4863s | much for Canada to handle and I do also |
| 4865s | want to say Johnny I I want to apologize |
| 4867s | cuz you called out bone back in the |
| 4868s | starting lineup I thought you were just |
| 4870s | messing with me so that was crazy I I |
| 4873s | was like what is this guy talking about |
| 4875s | but yeah bone backck was apparently back |
| 4876s | and I think D Mayon was another standout |
| 4880s | player uh for Great Britain as well yeah |
| 4882s | we that by the way is Dub my |
| 4885s | moneyone and I just so want this to be |
| 4888s | the way to pronounce the name I don't |
| 4890s | think it is but maybe if we roll with it |
| 4893s | uh they consider changing don't think it |
| 4894s | is so but we can try to make it happen |
| 4896s | maybe just make it happen I don't know |
| 4898s | as long as May Mo's okay with it then |
| 4900s | we'll roll with it D my money well they |
| 4904s | might be getting that they might be |
| 4905s | getting that money this is a super |
| 4907s | important victory for Great Britain Moxy |
| 4909s | touched uh on this as well because in |
| 4912s | group b if you unfortunate enough to |
| 4914s | make it out on the second slot you most |
| 4918s | likely will be facing against South |
| 4919s | Korea uh right in the we never know is |
| 4922s | South Korea going to make come on dadd |
| 4925s | they first they keeping the hopes up |
| 4928s | that's very you're very sweet daddy |
| 4930s | that's very sweet of you appreciate that |
| 4933s | uh no but I mean it's going to be an |
| 4935s | uphill battle that first W was just so |
| 4937s | very important let's see if they can |
| 4939s | rake up more of those now we will be |
| 4942s | heading into a quick breaking and |
| 4944s | afterwards we will be talking about the |
| 4945s | second match of the day and that one |
| 4948s | will be battled out between Mexico and |
| 4949s | Finland so stick |

| 5151s | and we are getting ready for the second |
| 5153s | match of the day this is day number one |
| 5155s | of the O World Cup 2023 group stages we |
| 5159s | are in process of crowning the first |
| 5161s | ever OverWatch World Cup OverWatch 2 |
| 5164s | champion and we're here to break it all |
| 5166s | down for you Zoe joined by Danny and |
| 5168s | Johnny my trusted analyst Jake where you |
| 5170s | at I don't know uh maybe see the again |
| 5174s | not to be trusted |
| 5177s | Jake maybe we see him around I have a |
| 5180s | hunch have a hunch maybe we see him |
| 5181s | around now first match was a convincing |
| 5184s | Victory by the Great Britain team let's |
| 5187s | take a look at our next two teams facing |
| 5189s | off against each other we're heading |
| 5190s | over to group number a number eight |
| 5193s | that's right I I know numbers and |
| 5195s | letters from each other H here is |
| 5197s | Mexico never mind never mind we just |
| 5200s | move on WE glance over that uh previous |
| 5202s | four World Cups to Mexico not been able |
| 5204s | to actually even get past preliminaries |
| 5206s | or qualifiers so I'm very sure that this |
| 5208s | very young Ruster is eager to put their |
| 5211s | country on everyone radar Daddy yeah I |
| 5214s | mean Mexico this is their first time you |
| 5216s | know being in the group stage with uh |
| 5217s | with this with these players they are |
| 5220s | very new um but I think one interesting |
| 5222s | thing to point out is their coach uh is |
| 5225s | Nomi who was formerly with the San |
| 5227s | Francisco shock in 2018 uh you know I |
| 5230s | think I'm going to be watching out for |
| 5232s | what Nomi has prepared how Nomi has |
| 5235s | prepared of these new youngsters uh for |
| 5237s | the OverWatch World Cup I think that's |
| 5239s | going to be an interesting story to sort |
| 5241s | of follow for team Mex |
| 5244s | yeah exactly yes do want to say they did |
| 5247s | take a map of USA USA did a little bit |
| 5249s | of trolling with the RO swaps but they |
| 5251s | take a m map of the USA yeah and it's |
| 5253s | good to see that you have to take him |
| 5255s | serious you you can't be trolling and |
| 5257s | lulling around there and now they will |
| 5259s | be facing off against team Finland and |
| 5262s | while I mean there have been recent |
| 5264s | roster changes for this squad right |
| 5265s | before the group stages I don't really |
| 5267s | think that's going to impact them much |
| 5268s | here Johnny no I mean this is a team |
| 5271s | that had played a variety of |
| 5272s | compositions in the qualifiers of course |
| 5274s | and we saw some rinard in the mix then |
| 5276s | but if they just lean on Vesta as their |
| 5279s | off tank player Sigma we've seen a lot |
| 5282s | of Sigma recently in the Pro meta right |
| 5284s | well Vesta is going to be a great tank |
| 5286s | for that right and so I think that fin |
| 5288s | is going to be a really solid team tons |
| 5290s | of you know veterans on this uh roster |
| 5292s | when it comes to competitive experience |
| 5294s | playing in the upper tier of OverWatch |
| 5297s | um sauna for example is going to be a |
| 5299s | pivotal player for this team but also |
| 5300s | Cloud on the May if you're going to slow |
| 5302s | things down and play slower compositions |
| 5304s | with the ratra or the sigma for example |
| 5306s | then cloud is going to have a lot of |
| 5308s | impact on this may so that's a player to |
| 5309s | watch in my opinion of course Masa Masa |
| 5312s | who's been competing in OverWatch for |
| 5314s | for probably as long as I have since |
| 5316s | like 26 days you know uh you know played |
| 5319s | at the highest level participated in |
| 5320s | Grand finals in the highest tier right |
| 5322s | but Vasa is going to be uh I think the |
| 5325s | the most important player for Finland |
| 5327s | here in the 2023 World Cup as you can |
| 5329s | see in the accolades tons of experience |
| 5331s | playing uh in tenders and participating |
| 5334s | at the highest level right so Bola bring |
| 5336s | in the sigma some of those off tank |
| 5338s | Heroes it's going to be PR to watch out |
| 5340s | for here yeah I think uh the only quote |
| 5343s | unquote veteran player we have on the |
| 5344s | server for this very game uh will be |
| 5346s | mosa this is his second uh stunt in the |
| 5349s | O World Cup every other player is |
| 5351s | currently experiencing all the |
| 5353s | festivities for the first time ever so |
| 5355s | it's going to be very excited to see if |
| 5356s | maybe nerv's going to come into play |
| 5358s | they are currently playing on landine |
| 5359s | right like we may be remote but the |
| 5361s | players they are currently online we got |
| 5363s | to see the player uh face cams and |
| 5365s | whatnot so that can change a lot I'm |
| 5367s | rooting for all of them I am very |
| 5369s | interested to see who's going to come |
| 5370s | out on top let's take a look at our |
| 5371s | predictions for this one I am going for |
| 5375s | the known factors I have to go for |
| 5377s | Finland 2 oh I just have a lot of faith |
| 5379s | in those players and especially in the |
| 5382s | backline for this team yeah Vos Mexico |
| 5385s | is what I want to say but I also went |
| 5387s | with I was about to |
| 5388s | say sorry I really want to root for |
| 5391s | Mexico but I think just just on paper |
| 5393s | just looking at like like so said just |
| 5395s | the amount of experience the I think fin |
| 5398s | team Finland has over Mexico is uh going |
| 5400s | to be the winning factor for them yeah |
| 5403s | no fake outs here I'm just going with |
| 5404s | Finland uh you know that the Finland has |
| 5406s | always been like really good at |
| 5407s | OverWatch uh you know since the |
| 5409s | Inception of OverWatch right uh so yeah |
| 5412s | I got to go with Finland here uh I trust |
| 5414s | them I'm willing to like put unlike |
| 5417s | Canada like I feel like I don't I can't |
| 5418s | trust Canada anymore after they betrayed |
| 5421s | my prediction the first game I still |
| 5422s | have a lot of trust in Finland so I'm |
| 5424s | going Finland 20 here all right let's |
| 5427s | see if someone can break Johnny's heart |
| 5429s | again I mean Finland the Finish team |
| 5431s | they they have made it quite far in the |
| 5433s | O World Cups in the past where I did say |
| 5436s | uh Mexico unfortunately has never come |
| 5438s | out of the preliminaries of qualifiers |
| 5440s | Finland in the first year in 2016 |
| 5442s | actually ended on fourth place right so |
| 5445s | uh they they've got some some finish |
| 5447s | honor to protect here they want to maybe |
| 5449s | Place higher I mean that would be my |
| 5450s | thing Johnny as a player I'd always want |
| 5453s | a place better than the previous people |
| 5455s | representing my country I don't know if |
| 5457s | that's is that weird is that just me |
| 5459s | being too competitive I don't think |
| 5460s | that's too weird I mean some teams they |
| 5462s | just want to qualify for once right uh |
| 5464s | so different standards but yeah as |
| 5467s | you're saying like Finland such a like |
| 5469s | long history in OverWatch you think back |
| 5471s | to some of the older teams right where |
| 5472s | fragi was the main tank for that team |
| 5474s | and they played Rhino compositions they |
| 5475s | were so good at like the triple tank |
| 5477s | metas right and they were some of the |
| 5479s | innovators in the triple tank meta um |
| 5481s | sais is another household name uh for |
| 5484s | Finland of course but then there was |
| 5485s | kind of like this shift in the |
| 5487s | generation of players for team Finland |
| 5489s | and I think we're seeing some of that |
| 5490s | younger Talent come up right um so cloud |
| 5492s | and Sona they're both two you know newer |
| 5495s | generation players if I can say that way |
| 5498s | B Team Finland right and they get to |
| 5500s | participate here in the in the World Cup |
| 5502s | 2023 so um yeah it's going to be fun to |
| 5504s | follow this team and see if they can |
| 5506s | live up to those some of those older |
| 5508s | higher placings that team Finland got in |
| 5510s | the past but there's something to be |
| 5511s | said Dan about being the underdog right |
| 5514s | if you're on no one's radar the pressure |
| 5516s | is off so for Team Mexico this is not a |
| 5519s | bad spot to be in and and not only that |
| 5521s | because like like we said you know they |
| 5522s | are you know newer sort of newer players |
| 5525s | I don't know if that's the right term |
| 5526s | but you know they want to prove |
| 5527s | themselves right and also you know |
| 5529s | there's not there's not a lot of |
| 5531s | expectations for these players so like |
| 5533s | they have that going for them and they |
| 5535s | really want to sort of you know prove |
| 5537s | themselves that they could you know they |
| 5539s | could hang with the best and that's why |
| 5541s | I think you know Mexico has a good shot |
| 5542s | at this as well yeah I mean you also |
| 5545s | have to factor in that like some teams |
| 5547s | which have those big household names and |
| 5549s | like well-known players you really know |
| 5551s | what to expect if you're the other team |
| 5553s | it's so much easier to prep for those |
| 5555s | teams because you just kind of know |
| 5556s | what's coming at you whereas teams like |
| 5558s | Mexico they can come up with all sorts |
| 5561s | of uh compositions all little pocket |
| 5564s | picks here |
| 5565s | Johnny yeah look and also importantly |
| 5568s | for the World Cup you brought up nerves |
| 5569s | right I feel like if you come into your |
| 5571s | matchup in in the world cup and you're |
| 5573s | just like confident and you want to push |
| 5575s | the tempo and you go aggressive the |
| 5577s | intangibles um it might sound like I'm |
| 5580s | cooking here trust me trust me but love |
| 5582s | a good if if you go into like one of |
| 5583s | these matchups like one of the underdog |
| 5585s | teams if you just go in aggressively and |
| 5587s | we've seen teams in the past like team |
| 5588s | Thailand for example be like super |
| 5590s | aggressive and you know make their |
| 5592s | opponent uncomfortable that can actually |
| 5594s | give you a bit of a leg up in these |
| 5595s | matches right so if you are a team like |
| 5597s | Mexico for example you probably not |
| 5598s | favor to you know get get out of your |
| 5600s | group well this is one of those m match |
| 5602s | ups where you're just like hey team |
| 5603s | Finland like they're probably not |
| 5604s | expecting anything too different they're |
| 5606s | just going to go in play their own game |
| 5607s | right that's what so many Pros say if |
| 5609s | you're Mexico just like go in there call |
| 5611s | some Ruckers you know like change things |
| 5613s | up a little bit it can make a huge |
| 5614s | difference in the World Cup when you got |
| 5616s | inexperienced players player but also |
| 5618s | just like you know when when these teams |
| 5620s | don't have as much practice just going |
| 5622s | in and being confident in your own play |
| 5624s | and like really pushing the tempo that |
| 5626s | that could make a big difference in |
| 5627s | these games so I'm looking for that from |
| 5629s | Mexico in this in this uh match can I be |
| 5631s | honest |
| 5632s | yes please I kind of want to I kind of |
| 5634s | want to switch my prad now you want you |
| 5637s | want you want to switch your bread I |
| 5639s | have we talked you into Mexico I kind of |
| 5641s | I I kind of want to go for Mexico you |
| 5644s | know I I saw it in their eyes they're |
| 5647s | hungry respect it I would respect that a |
| 5650s | lot now the question is does does |
| 5652s | production respect it enough to change |
| 5654s | it for you I think you should do it I'll |
| 5656s | do it I'll do it I'm going to do it |
| 5658s | let's go let's go Danny yes that means |
| 5662s | doing our job right like you know we're |
| 5664s | selling people on dude I honestly oh |
| 5666s | there you |
| 5669s | Goico let's go two as well like this is |
| 5672s | convincing convincing |
| 5675s | switch more as we're talking more and |
| 5677s | more about Mexico how these guys are |
| 5679s | sort of newer players they're hungry you |
| 5681s | know they want to prove themselves and |
| 5682s | and you know because Finland really you |
| 5685s | know it's hard for them to prep against |
| 5686s | uh teams like Mexico you know I think |
| 5688s | that could work out they took a map of |
| 5690s | the USA D yeah EX when super was on |
| 5693s | Genji but that's besides the point yeah |
| 5695s | we we just we're watching Nomi at the |
| 5697s | end here of the table like this man |
| 5699s | knows what he's doing like he's been |
| 5701s | around the block he's been playing on |
| 5702s | the big stages and he's he's ready for |
| 5705s | this I'm sure he's uh prepared really |
| 5708s | really well uh now one thing I want to |
| 5711s | just throw out there which is uh this |
| 5713s | this might be a crazy one Johnny maybe |
| 5716s | I'm maybe I'm overcooking but if you in |
| 5718s | group a like Mexico is and you have |
| 5721s | South Kore in your group is that one of |
| 5723s | those well technically I should only |
| 5725s | prepare against two other teams rather |
| 5728s | than three because you don't expect to |
| 5730s | actually take down South Korea so you |
| 5733s | have less homework to |
| 5735s | do yeah I mean I I don't I don't know |
| 5738s | how diligent uh some of these teams are |
| 5741s | with their homework in the first place |
| 5743s | but if you want to go that route then |
| 5746s | sure maybe maybe you don't prepare a ton |
| 5749s | for South Korea in that regard but I |
| 5752s | mean I personally wouldn't what about |
| 5753s | you Danny I mean I don't know it could |
| 5756s | be looked in either way right you could |
| 5758s | also go so's route or on the other side |
| 5760s | you're like hey like if we if we have a |
| 5762s | chance against Korea like let's let's |
| 5764s | prep only for Korea you know it's |
| 5769s | like yeah leave leave rest to the to the |
| 5772s | chances and Korea we're going to prep |
| 5774s | Korea hard you know but that makes no |
| 5777s | sense Daddy then you're like you you're |
| 5780s | losing potentially the only chances you |
| 5782s | having by now no if you think you're |
| 5784s | better than the all the other teams and |
| 5785s | you know that you're sort of you know |
| 5787s | lower than Korea why don't you prep more |
| 5789s | for Korea and less for the other teams |
| 5791s | because chances of winning against Korea |
| 5792s | it's simple math chances of winning |
| 5795s | against notth Kore do a lot of homework |
| 5797s | soe yeah that's why you do more homework |
| 5799s | you watch more so much |
| 5802s | homework well maybe I got the wrong idea |
| 5804s | then how competitive video games work |
| 5807s | but hey you know we don't know their |
| 5810s | approach maybe we get to chat to some of |
| 5812s | the players later on uh or to some of |
| 5815s | the coaches I know of course we have our |
| 5817s | Insider uh on the cases here with Emily |
| 5820s | tang and she will get the inside scoop |
| 5822s | of some of those teams maybe we can you |
| 5824s | know send them their way find out how |
| 5826s | they prepared what homework they did or |
| 5829s | who they stole it from for now though we |
| 5831s | are ready to get all the action going |
| 5833s | Mexico going up against Finland let's |
| 5835s | see if Danny swap will bear fruit or not |
| 5838s | for all the action that DUS Moxy are |
| 5840s | standing by ready |
| 5843s | thank you so much so you know I would |
| 5844s | say excellent work desk for filling so |
| 5846s | much time but also you did kind of |
| 5848s | overcook it I freaking Danny switched |
| 5850s | his prediction to Mexico halfway through |
| 5852s | what the heck was that about all right I |
| 5854s | mean he has faith in Mexico I mean they |
| 5855s | have a good team you know ano vat is a |
| 5857s | great player that we saw in the |
| 5858s | qualifiers Moxy so you know maybe this |
| 5860s | match could be an upset like Danny |
| 5862s | thinks yeah like you said we did get to |
| 5865s | follow Mexico in the qualifier they were |
| 5867s | able to come in third the group a so did |
| 5870s | just managed to make it an it went down |
| 5872s | to the absolute wire though the very |
| 5875s | very very last match of the entire |
| 5877s | conference was between Mexico and Porto |
| 5879s | Rico Mexico were able to take the win |
| 5882s | thus Advance forward to the very stage |
| 5885s | that they are going up against Finland |
| 5887s | this is a really important one for both |
| 5890s | of these teams as the de did talk about |
| 5893s | these two teams are in group a Cy career |
| 5895s | is also a part of group a and with only |
| 5898s | the top two teams in every single group |
| 5900s | advancing every single win is going to |
| 5904s | matter to the rest of those fre teams oh |
| 5907s | yeah I mean it's going to be very |
| 5909s | important matchup here on our hands and |
| 5911s | uh you know obviously got the likes like |
| 5913s | the desk mentioned with Masa coming back |
| 5915s | a veteran of the scene you know I was on |
| 5916s | a team with him at one point he's you |
| 5918s | know I always think about finish people |
| 5919s | Moxy you know they always like uh I |
| 5921s | don't know it's hard for for them to |
| 5924s | kind of like uh assimilate with |
| 5925s | everybody else you know in a team |
| 5926s | environment but maybe with like the |
| 5928s | other finish players they just kind of |
| 5929s | reach another level right like with the |
| 5933s | am I cooking a little too hard here Moxy |
| 5934s | like like like vtran five of them just |
| 5936s | form together to make a |
| 5938s | super exactly exactly and also the |
| 5941s | lineup's a little bit different but uh |
| 5942s | you know obviously yeah it's like Masa |
| 5945s | and Fin and Finland have always you know |
| 5946s | performed pretty well um obviously with |
| 5949s | a bit of a different lineup leading into |
| 5950s | this one are going to start on Mecha |
| 5951s | base first yeah we're going to be seeing |
| 5953s | Mexico coming in uh with I believe |
| 5955s | actually the name t actually be switched |
| 5957s | we're going to see Finland coming |
| 5959s | through with v on the sigma and Mexico |
| 5961s | opting to run castles on the orisa a lot |
| 5964s | of defensive capability but that b is |
| 5966s | going to force that Port fire so quickly |
| 5969s | yeah I mean they're immediately walled |
| 5970s | off counter wall by Cloud immortality |
| 5972s | committed on both sides Castle goes so |
| 5975s | low but the immortality keeps him |
| 5976s | healthy also hits the javelin onto cloud |
| 5979s | and then the wall was there from chalu 2 |
| 5982s | perfect coordination from the likes of |
| 5984s | Mexico as they wipe finlin sending them |
| 5986s | back to the spawn doors and taking the |
| 5988s | objective first all of that damage |
| 5990s | contributes SAA has almost built up the |
| 5993s | artillery strike but because castled was |
| 5995s | able to be kept up by Momo he's already |
| 5998s | got an amplification Matrix to be able |
| 5999s | to use to make pushing through this |
| 6001s | choke so |
| 6002s | punishable now they have to come back |
| 6005s | through counter Wall comes through after |
| 6007s | wall is committed by Cloud both teams |
| 6010s | also dropping a Baptist window there |
| 6012s | from Momo's side forces out Finland for |
| 6015s | now no kills though in this fight just |
| 6017s | yet immortality F committed from Finland |
| 6020s | temporarily to make sure that braw goes |
| 6021s | in their favor also drops the counter |
| 6023s | wall from Mickey's side with all that |
| 6025s | Bastion damage from sauna it's just too |
| 6027s | much to deal with even with the blizzard |
| 6028s | to freeze SAA they don't think they have |
| 6030s | the followup damage in the situation |
| 6031s | onel able to find sauna and Mickey but |
| 6034s | then get stagger killed by Finland who |
| 6036s | then walks towards that point to flip it |
| 6038s | in the 40 percentile has been able to |
| 6040s | build up the overclock however so even |
| 6042s | though Clyde is going to be able to come |
| 6044s | into this next fight with that blizzard |
| 6045s | to potentially combo up with the sters |
| 6047s | blocks Andel V with the soan with the |
| 6050s | the ability the power can mitigate a lot |
| 6052s | of that thre and pop the overlock make |
| 6054s | sure that they don't get any value from |
| 6056s | it everybody CL available here on the |
| 6059s | inside T though able to find cast before |
| 6062s | they even need to use it just commit a |
| 6063s | beat drop there from Masa good |
| 6064s | communication from the support line of |
| 6066s | Finland also their team in general I |
| 6069s | mean just off of that be able to get the |
| 6071s | kills there even though onel popped to |
| 6073s | the overclock yeah they were really |
| 6074s | trying to pressure besta as well trock |
| 6077s | on that m going right for the sigma to |
| 6079s | try and burn through him as quickly as |
| 6081s | possible not able to find the kill off |
| 6083s | of that sound bar and as a result they |
| 6085s | hold on to the choke and have three |
| 6086s | ultimates make it incredibly punishing |
| 6088s | for Mexico who lose the orisa before |
| 6091s | they're able to break out into more open |
| 6092s | space and place themselves into a |
| 6094s | position where they're not going to be |
| 6095s | able to have to worry about the Bastion |
| 6097s | transformation sauna absolutely being a |
| 6099s | star player at the moment just through |
| 6102s | that damage Mexico can't do anything now |
| 6103s | 50% on the board tough for them to |
| 6105s | recontest paret going to have a s bar |
| 6108s | but Mexico May well have to use it |
| 6110s | that's a that thing of an immortality |
| 6112s | field I feel like as paret does have the |
| 6114s | S Bar to try and break out of this choke |
| 6116s | but immortality field they're going to |
| 6118s | have to wait they can't push until it |
| 6119s | comes back and cool down well look at |
| 6121s | ano's flank I mean he's all the way |
| 6123s | across the map on the bridge no angle |
| 6124s | though because of the pillar in this |
| 6126s | fight sa does turn back for him they're |
| 6128s | actually deciding what to do here on |
| 6129s | Angel being in this position really |
| 6131s | confuses Finland at the moment they have |
| 6132s | to use the immortality field the |
| 6134s | blizzard to come out so they're able to |
| 6135s | kill Momo the beat drop not there in |
| 6137s | time to save him and now Mexico I mean |
| 6140s | they have the beat but eventually gets |
| 6142s | worn off they did capture the point with |
| 6143s | angel coming back and making sure he was |
| 6146s | still that nuisance in the back line but |
| 6147s | it is flipped back for Finland yeah and |
| 6149s | Villa still got the sigma flux SAA still |
| 6152s | the artillery strike so if Mexico try |
| 6153s | and go for one of those uh sneaky flanks |
| 6156s | with either the overclock or a blizzard |
| 6159s | son is going to be able to buy back all |
| 6160s | of the space that Mexico tries to take |
| 6163s | away from them as yet again they have to |
| 6165s | push for a choke into a basum and |
| 6168s | there's that gravitic flux pet goes into |
| 6170s | the air immortality FS here but not in |
| 6171s | there not the area to save pet Pella |
| 6174s | also finds M and no more heals here the |
| 6176s | blizzard eventually will connect onto |
| 6179s | some of the members of Finland but it |
| 6180s | might be far too late overclock from |
| 6181s | Angel is just him alive surely can't |
| 6184s | even touch the objective and yeah no |
| 6186s | Finland we taking Mecha base which is |
| 6188s | round one yeah orisa is an incredibly |
| 6191s | selfish tank and what I mean by that is |
| 6193s | she's very good at keeping herself alive |
| 6196s | and only herself Gavin spin really |
| 6198s | doesn't have that wide a radius of |
| 6200s | effect it's no when near as effective as |
| 6202s | something like the Divas uh Matrix and |
| 6205s | as a result while your orisa may be able |
| 6207s | to just chunk through all of the damage |
| 6209s | output that's coming through from |
| 6210s | Finland side the rest of the team not so |
| 6213s | much and every single thing that you |
| 6214s | invest in keeping that Arisa up just |
| 6216s | depletes the rest of the team's |
| 6217s | resources and as a result it was down to |
| 6220s | the DPS to try and make those star plays |
| 6222s | which worked out for a little bit but |
| 6224s | Finland however had the nums advantage |
| 6226s | had the abilities the resources and |
| 6228s | still things like immortality field and |
| 6230s | were able to just hold on to the the |
| 6231s | choke far longer than Mexico wanted |
| 6233s | Mexico now rocking the doomfist for this |
| 6236s | map or this round in particular moment |
| 6238s | also over to the anell maybe over to |
| 6239s | that Mercy a bit of a pocket pick for |
| 6242s | chalu there in the sky 15 seconds before |
| 6245s | the point unlocks on the map with a |
| 6247s | train Angel able to find Mickey too nice |
| 6249s | shot from him with that charge up shot I |
| 6251s | mean forces Finland to be in a bit of a |
| 6253s | precarious situation now they don't have |
| 6255s | the Baptist a lot of the heals removed |
| 6256s | now Angels able to find SAA Trux finds |
| 6259s | Cloud point now unlocked well Mexico win |
| 6262s | that first fight yeah it's honestly a |
| 6263s | smart counter coming through from Mexico |
| 6265s | Castle coming onto that doomfist is |
| 6267s | actually going to force the swap off of |
| 6269s | the Bastion the Bastion wants to play |
| 6270s | around the sigma so that you have the |
| 6272s | safety that the sigma provides but if |
| 6275s | you're playing too close to the sigma |
| 6276s | multiple players are going to get |
| 6277s | punched by that doomfist and that |
| 6278s | provides the opening for the echo to be |
| 6280s | able to drop in entirely unimpeded as a |
| 6283s | result Cloud flexes onto the cidy okay |
| 6286s | onto the cast throws that a on to Castle |
| 6289s | forc him to back up after after it |
| 6292s | hindered him temporarily Mexico sitting |
| 6294s | around that point now Finland so close |
| 6296s | to getting that cap through but doesn't |
| 6298s | eventually come through the nade though |
| 6299s | slows down Finland for now perfect |
| 6301s | immortality f for Mickey nobody deletes |
| 6302s | it in time Masa does get traded out by |
| 6304s | Chux but sauna and Cloud able to find |
| 6306s | two in that fight now Ano on the other |
| 6308s | side looking for SAA on the recall able |
| 6310s | to look for that backline a bit more |
| 6312s | also they're still even in this fight |
| 6313s | but with a stol it and Cloud that's a |
| 6314s | lot of damage looks into the sky after |
| 6317s | finding angel on the low ground now |
| 6319s | after has to deal with trock who gets |
| 6320s | that copy now able to go for that back s |
| 6324s | eventually gets taken out of the copied |
| 6325s | form but is the damage already done no |
| 6326s | because Cloud's able to find him Castle |
| 6328s | though with the nanab Boost able to get |
| 6330s | Masa so that's some healing removed as |
| 6332s | well as some good needed pressure from |
| 6334s | Finland side they did flip the point |
| 6336s | however causing Mexico to now back up as |
| 6338s | they they've lost a bit of positioning |
| 6339s | yeah and Castle came back in on the |
| 6341s | Winston SPI try and dive into the back |
| 6343s | line and also give that nanoboost a |
| 6344s | little bit more threat to it comes in |
| 6346s | immediately with the ball jumps out |
| 6348s | before he can actually get hit by the |
| 6349s | accretion coming through from from V so |
| 6351s | the Winston will not go down early |
| 6353s | lovely anti connects onto ph's backline |
| 6356s | forcing the immortality field and as a |
| 6358s | result Angel V trying to find to kill |
| 6360s | the overlock but he goes out to The Flop |
| 6363s | yeah that's tough I mean the STA just |
| 6365s | targeted him knowing that was the target |
| 6367s | to remove only ultimate for Mexico gives |
| 6369s | them that first kill uh and now they're |
| 6372s | going actually go back through that |
| 6373s | point and still have that objective |
| 6374s | Advantage yeah maxico you can see |
| 6376s | actually had to swap off of the echo |
| 6378s | understanding that Finland with control |
| 6379s | of all of this space the hit scan of the |
| 6381s | Cy just becomes too overwhelming for the |
| 6384s | echo even with a mercy pocket to be able |
| 6386s | to deal with now it's going to be up to |
| 6388s | that Trac to try and infiltrate the back |
| 6389s | Cline but easier set than done |
| 6391s | especially since Master is on the Bria |
| 6393s | to be able to save make his |
| 6395s | position kind of noticed that angel |
| 6397s | keeps going alone just trying to make |
| 6398s | sure he kind of focuses on him targets |
| 6401s | him a bit Momo also does take down the |
| 6403s | immortan field from Finland side the |
| 6405s | kept Cloud alive during the high noon |
| 6407s | but no kills come of it Mexico though |
| 6409s | still don't have a lot of position here |
| 6410s | even even though they're fighting for a |
| 6411s | lot of it they have to keep backing up |
| 6413s | now understanding finland's in a great |
| 6415s | position they want to push off of this |
| 6416s | Cloud Nice kill from him on the pallet |
| 6418s | the N boost is here but they're already |
| 6420s | down two members 85% on the board as |
| 6422s | well it's dicey for the likes of Mexico |
| 6424s | at the moment as even with the N boost |
| 6426s | are able to kill Castle 91% of the the |
| 6429s | board now I don't know if Mexico can |
| 6431s | even touch thetive that is not a fight |
| 6433s | you wanted prolonged and unfortunately |
| 6435s | you lost free Q players before it |
| 6438s | finished up go to come in with the pulse |
| 6441s | bom and at least tap but unfortunately |
| 6443s | all that does is draw immortality field |
| 6445s | and V's going to be able to take that |
| 6447s | one nice and cleanly it's so unfortunate |
| 6450s | for Mexico and it's so smart from |
| 6451s | Finland they see all of these ultimates |
| 6454s | coming out from Mexico's side inide room |
| 6456s | with that health pack and they just |
| 6458s | decide to bait out that fight as long as |
| 6461s | possible understanding that even if they |
| 6464s | lose one or two players they're still |
| 6466s | going to be able to have something like |
| 6467s | the Cassidy to be able to play bouncer |
| 6469s | when Mexico eventually he tries to come |
| 6471s | contest before it hits him to 100% I |
| 6474s | would preface this by saying I love |
| 6475s | Mexico and I think they have a lot of |
| 6477s | good talented players but man I feel bad |
| 6479s | for Danny here Moxy I mean he just got |
| 6480s | sold snake oil like Jesus like Finland |
| 6483s | looks so good in that map specifically |
| 6486s | obviously things can change maybe |
| 6487s | leading into the future Maps Moxy but uh |
| 6489s | I mean that was kind of a dominant first |
| 6491s | map for Finland yeah it's really |
| 6493s | unfortunate like you said that was one |
| 6496s | big thing that just happened time and |
| 6498s | time again from Mexico side and Finland |
| 6500s | started reading into it and punishing it |
| 6503s | and that is that when the Dives came |
| 6505s | through a lot of it was very isolated |
| 6508s | and as a result we didn't really get to |
| 6510s | see all of the team working together to |
| 6512s | be able to chunk the targets down low |
| 6514s | instead Finland saw that by pushing |
| 6515s | these players in one by one Mexico were |
| 6518s | elongating all of these fights |
| 6521s | voluntarily by their own hand so all fin |
| 6524s | had to do was put something in like a |
| 6525s | cidy with the burade and it just meant |
| 6528s | that the dive never really got off the |
| 6529s | ground I mean just great work from the |
| 6532s | DPSS of Finland and overall as their |
| 6533s | team you know kind of shut him down |
| 6535s | there obviously a lot of great work from |
| 6537s | the stoa too with that gratic flux to |
| 6539s | shut down angel that was huge that flux |
| 6542s | could actually have changed the entire |
| 6545s | layout of the pacing between both of |
| 6548s | those teams the entire power dynamic |
| 6549s | because the reason why Finland was so |
| 6551s | scary when they actually swapped the |
| 6552s | Cassidy they forgo the Lucio they forgo |
| 6555s | the rotation and the speed which means |
| 6558s | that they should be vulnerable in the |
| 6559s | rotations and that's something that |
| 6561s | Mexico could have punished but they were |
| 6562s | never able to OU them off the point the |
| 6564s | casty always had control it was always |
| 6566s | his turn because they were never able to |
| 6569s | find that team what they were looking |
| 6570s | for and that flux that was the one |
| 6572s | moment that they had to maybe get the |
| 6574s | door open and Vesta banged it shot in |
| 6576s | their face Mexico the pick coming |
| 6579s | through will be piso is going to be that |
| 6581s | map number two like I said in the series |
| 6584s | between Finland maybe they think periso |
| 6585s | was going to be a good one for their |
| 6587s | team in particular but we'll have to see |
| 6589s | after short break and we'll see you guys |
| 6590s | that number |
| 6598s | [Music] |
| 6608s | [Music] |

| 6792s | welcome back everybody between this |
| 6793s | series between Finland and Mexico |
| 6795s | Finland currently are up one in the |
| 6797s | matchup in the first to two so obviously |
| 6799s | one more and they'll be feeling pretty |
| 6801s | good about themselves and their chances |
| 6803s | going against the likes of Team Korea |
| 6805s | Moxy um we actually have bit of a |
| 6807s | sideline reporter a bit of uh |
| 6809s | information on the side from Emily uh |
| 6811s | maybe to give us some more information |
| 6813s | she talked to some of the teams uh |
| 6814s | before the game so we'll have to see |
| 6816s | what she says Emily uh what's going on |
| 6818s | what do you have to uh say about these |
| 6820s | two |
| 6821s | teams thank you so much Dustin and Moxy |
| 6825s | so good to be back at OverWatch World |
| 6827s | Cup again so I was able to chat a little |
| 6829s | bit with Team Mexico and team Finland so |
| 6832s | I |
| 6833s | figured what are the greatest strengths |
| 6836s | from your team and team Mexico said I |
| 6839s | think our strengths are Angel vato pette |
| 6843s | and Momo it's our coordination on the |
| 6845s | different compositions and they are just |
| 6847s | absolute gods of technical gameplay and |
| 6851s | when I asked team Finland their response |
| 6854s | were I think our greatest strengths are |
| 6857s | that we're feeling confident we know |
| 6859s | that will get through the group with our |
| 6862s | default game and even though South Korea |
| 6865s | is obviously a massive team to beat I |
| 6868s | think we're ready for them as well well |
| 6870s | that's all I have stay tuned for some |
| 6872s | new GC fits and back to you guys that's |
| 6875s | Moxy thank you Emily I mean obviously |
| 6878s | Finland boasting a lot of confidence |
| 6879s | meanwhile Mexico I mean kind of a |
| 6881s | similar thing on their end you know |
| 6883s | obviously a bit of a a younger team |
| 6885s | newer team as well Moxy as the desk |
| 6887s | brought it up so you know it's a big |
| 6888s | hill to climb versus the likes of of |
| 6890s | Mexico but um you know as as Emily said |
| 6893s | you know maybe they could do it with |
| 6895s | their mechanical skill with the likes of |
| 6896s | Angel B yeah there are two things I'm |
| 6899s | taking especially from the Finland POV |
| 6902s | one they said play their default game |
| 6904s | which immediately says to me that |
| 6905s | they're saving something in the pocket |
| 6907s | as a curve ball to be able to surprise |
| 6909s | all of these teams cuz obviously you're |
| 6912s | not just going to be facing up against |
| 6913s | the teams in your group right if you |
| 6914s | make it into the top two you're going to |
| 6916s | be moving on to face all of the other |
| 6917s | groups and that means if you're playing |
| 6919s | on broadcast you don't want to give away |
| 6921s | all of your secrets we already saw in |
| 6924s | the first match up of the series when we |
| 6926s | saw Great Britain versus Canada exactly |
| 6929s | how important being able to do the |
| 6930s | homework check the vods it is for |
| 6933s | everyone behind the scenes for the |
| 6935s | coaches the analysts the managers so |
| 6937s | you'll be able to better equip the team |
| 6939s | if you can get through group stages with |
| 6941s | a little bit of a surprise still up your |
| 6944s | sleeve you're going to be in a really |
| 6947s | good position the second thing is that |
| 6949s | uh that your answer Zoe some of these |
| 6951s | teams are definitely prepping for cyth |
| 6954s | Korea because they want to be the ones |
| 6956s | that go up against one of the favorites |
| 6959s | and show us okay maybe that's some other |
| 6961s | team still to play for this |
| 6963s | cup yeah so analysis there is uh |
| 6966s | definitely definitely one of the takes |
| 6968s | of all time with the uh you know teams |
| 6970s | being a bit bit of a Doomer mindset |
| 6971s | maybe you know just give up versus South |
| 6973s | Korea you know throw the tal in but you |
| 6975s | know honestly she's not wrong like it's |
| 6976s | just like from the outsid of perspective |
| 6978s | the likes of ker are such a dominant |
| 6979s | team that it's you know it's hard to to |
| 6982s | you know have the mental fortitude to go |
| 6983s | against them are we going to see an |
| 6986s | opening grapple shot successful for S oh |
| 6989s | Chu's life flashed before his eyes |
| 6992s | frankly it wasn't a head shot and that |
| 6994s | Echo is still going to be flying in the |
| 6996s | sky body shot there in that situation |
| 6999s | Mexico now sitting at the choke point |
| 7002s | like this composition for them in |
| 7003s | particular having trouble on the echo |
| 7005s | again so maybe sticking towards that |
| 7007s | doomfist composition could lead them to |
| 7009s | some some victory here but uh Finland |
| 7011s | kind of walking through their steps |
| 7014s | progressing to the window of this point |
| 7015s | SAA looking for the tank player of |
| 7017s | Castle meanwhile has to deal with onel |
| 7019s | and he does amazing Kill from him had |
| 7021s | some help there too from the Bita able |
| 7024s | to get that shield from M the pack from |
| 7025s | M and now Castle goes so low I mean they |
| 7027s | just worked them down Mexico try to back |
| 7030s | up maybe they can get a Rec test off |
| 7032s | some respawns but that was clinical from |
| 7034s | Finland yeah really good recall coming |
| 7036s | for from SAA to just cancel out the |
| 7037s | stickies and deny that all charge going |
| 7039s | into ch's pocket Cloud on the Cassidy |
| 7043s | hasn't been doing that much in terms of |
| 7044s | damage but his she presence has been |
| 7047s | stopping this Echo from being able to |
| 7048s | close up the distance and now that point |
| 7050s | a has been picked up and they don't |
| 7052s | really have to worry about just Mexico |
| 7055s | having all of those High ground and |
| 7056s | sharp Corners they're going to actually |
| 7058s | put cloud onto the Bastion to make sure |
| 7061s | that chbl are still not able to jump |
| 7064s | through Castle swapping onto the Winston |
| 7066s | as well that bubble's going to be burst |
| 7068s | within seconds if the basan has anything |
| 7071s | to say against it and both teams trying |
| 7074s | to control this inside Room walk through |
| 7076s | with the defensive Matrix onto the |
| 7077s | Bastion making sure no kills can be |
| 7078s | found sauna again coming out on top |
| 7080s | versus onel that's two in a row now for |
| 7082s | sauna over the Tracer player of Mexico |
| 7085s | allows this C to keep pushing forward |
| 7086s | because he was the only one that was |
| 7088s | maybe going to be able to delay that |
| 7090s | payload they have to wait for him to |
| 7092s | come back out of Spawn to Finland they |
| 7093s | could press the go key right now opt to |
| 7096s | push in and they do so Cloud's able to |
| 7097s | find chalu no more Echo available a lot |
| 7100s | of damage removed and you would think |
| 7101s | for Mexico maybe they have to back up |
| 7103s | even further because I imagine Finland |
| 7105s | wants to keep pushing more and more into |
| 7107s | Mexico's side maybe for some ultimat out |
| 7109s | of them yeah V is a monster on the diva |
| 7112s | and he's been doing so much to make sure |
| 7113s | that power on this Mercy is forced to |
| 7115s | use the ga too early back up move away |
| 7118s | from the echo pocket and that's when the |
| 7120s | echo gets pressured by the rest of |
| 7122s | Finland and goes down and as result |
| 7124s | Mexico haven't really been able to find |
| 7125s | any standing ground to be able to try |
| 7128s | and use The High Ground advantages as |
| 7130s | Finland try and approach duplication |
| 7133s | comes out from Jo onto the bat and will |
| 7135s | be able to get artillery strike off |
| 7136s | baits out the lamp from Mickey's side |
| 7139s | but immediately after that he's popped |
| 7140s | back into the echo form and it's still |
| 7143s | all of the kills in favor of Finland |
| 7145s | what an absolute wild fight I mean |
| 7147s | Finley trying to close it out here now |
| 7149s | Castle eventually did fall like you said |
| 7151s | 3 m left to go before they get that full |
| 7153s | cap nobody I mean there's got one person |
| 7155s | on the payLo to touch it but eventually |
| 7156s | TRX will fall and Finland have a |
| 7158s | monstrous time Bank leading into third |
| 7160s | phase as the stoage keeps pushing |
| 7162s | forward playing so well at that pulse SP |
| 7164s | earlier the Sleep Dart comes through but |
| 7166s | eventually it's woken up and takes out |
| 7168s | Momo that's a stagger on both of the |
| 7171s | supports as well Mexico is going to be |
| 7173s | swapping up a couple of things as we |
| 7174s | move into Point c a ceiling does come |
| 7176s | into play so the echo is going to be |
| 7177s | replaced by a Hanzo Momo as a result |
| 7180s | does not have to be on the pocket and |
| 7182s | will swap onto the allari with P going |
| 7184s | over to that Baptist off of the mercy |
| 7188s | Andel V still going to be sticking on |
| 7190s | that soen are we going to be able to see |
| 7192s | any opening shots coming through as C |
| 7194s | does go onto the May himself to be able |
| 7196s | to block out a lot of that poke pressure |
| 7198s | coming through from both of those |
| 7200s | snipers I me this is tough I mean two |
| 7202s | awful things are happening me they're |
| 7204s | getting staggered and the cart just |
| 7205s | keeps getting pushed for free so nearly |
| 7207s | 4 minutes and 15 seconds left and |
| 7209s | basically last Corner the go round B is |
| 7212s | able to find onel as well before any |
| 7214s | support can come through for him and now |
| 7216s | the rest of Mexico just back up again |
| 7218s | get staggered here I mean that's one |
| 7219s | kill now Chas gets killed on the Hanzo |
| 7222s | pet eventually will fall at least they |
| 7223s | di together but Moxy no ultimates on the |
| 7226s | r test I mean what do you do here as |
| 7228s | team Mexico do Hasa been decked yet I |
| 7232s | don't think so they just nobody even |
| 7233s | touches nobody even touch V even if |
| 7237s | Mexico had been alive remember they all |
| 7239s | got staggered and Vesta is in Prime |
| 7242s | position to be able to just boost in and |
| 7244s | body blocks that Mexico isn't able to |
| 7246s | tap mon they can't never mind I'm not |
| 7249s | going to say it I ruined it already uh |
| 7250s | yeah Mexico obviously pretty rough |
| 7252s | situation there for him Finland now move |
| 7254s | on to the defensive side looking like a |
| 7256s | very dominant team right now I mean |
| 7257s | that's the biggest takeaway from this is |
| 7259s | like Mexico looked solid in the |
| 7261s | qualifiers versus even the likes of you |
| 7263s | know Team USA but coming in today versus |
| 7266s | Finland Finland just looks like a well |
| 7267s | oiled machine huh yeah they did not |
| 7270s | allow Mexico any moment to breathe any |
| 7273s | moment on this map that you think is |
| 7275s | defensively favored was just swapped out |
| 7278s | from Mexico's feet cuz they never really |
| 7280s | got to stand anywhere V was being such a |
| 7284s | for in their backside with the diva with |
| 7287s | the boosters just continuing to apply |
| 7289s | pressure onto the mercy we're going to |
| 7291s | get to a couple of replays here coming |
| 7293s | through V using the accretion to be able |
| 7295s | to land onto Castle midair so he's not |
| 7297s | able to regroup with the rest of his |
| 7299s | team like Mexico were coming in with a |
| 7302s | game plan fi the doomfist create an upro |
| 7305s | create descent so that the echo can just |
| 7308s | push in with that little bit less |
| 7310s | attention on them and find a kill |
| 7313s | especially with the mercy pocket but |
| 7314s | Finland never allowed Mexico to be able |
| 7318s | to play five men into these fights they |
| 7321s | were constantly just applying pressure |
| 7324s | on every single one of these players |
| 7327s | individually now they have to go on |
| 7328s | their offensive side after kind of a |
| 7331s | horrific defense on their side maybe |
| 7332s | they have to decide if they want to |
| 7334s | switch up compositions to Moxy it looks |
| 7335s | like they're going right to that Sigma |
| 7336s | composition SAA with the set but Bastion |
| 7340s | by the way connecting onto Mexico's |
| 7342s | spawn alley and picks up 1% all charge |
| 7346s | in the opening moments roblo goes onto |
| 7349s | the m to be able to block out a lot of |
| 7351s | that Bastion poke Momo with that allari |
| 7354s | takes a lot of pressure however as the |
| 7356s | Bas threads the needle through the sigma |
| 7359s | shield and still connects onto the |
| 7360s | players behind trying to get Cloud on |
| 7363s | this off angle has to wall off for |
| 7365s | himself but actually finds pet there I |
| 7366s | mean what do you do about that they |
| 7368s | didn't even throw their otal down time |
| 7370s | Cloud as well finds chock Masa |
| 7372s | eventually on the castled and tough |
| 7375s | first fight for Mexico as already nearly |
| 7376s | minutes off the clock yeah it's really |
| 7379s | unfortunate as a Baptist when you do |
| 7381s | Miss time throwing that immortality |
| 7382s | field because a lot of the time one you |
| 7384s | lose the player that you tried to throw |
| 7386s | it into save originally and then it just |
| 7389s | gets burnt out and at that point the |
| 7391s | enemy team is so close with a May doing |
| 7393s | 100 damage per second with that end |
| 7395s | fermic Blaster Mexico are just gone |
| 7398s | within moments at least F of the linning |
| 7400s | for the team it's fast they're going to |
| 7402s | try to ignore him in this fight it looks |
| 7404s | like just move towards that point but |
| 7405s | actually now double back on the cloud |
| 7407s | who has built up that blizzard very |
| 7409s | quickly you to be the first ultimate in |
| 7411s | the lobby usually don't see maze build |
| 7412s | up that ultimate so quickly but he's got |
| 7414s | it ready to go drops down behind sees |
| 7417s | that slow pet just walls him off |
| 7419s | blizzard is here immortality field |
| 7420s | deleted both the sigma and that P are |
| 7424s | frozen Now You're missing two members of |
| 7426s | your lineup Mexico just look to jump off |
| 7428s | the map maybe not give any old charge |
| 7429s | but it's too far it's a little too late |
| 7432s | nearly 2 minutes off the clock now |
| 7433s | Finland looking strong yeah Clyde doing |
| 7436s | so much damage with that Blaster and |
| 7438s | also connecting on to multiple people at |
| 7440s | once so like you said really |
| 7441s | supercharging up that blizzard charge |
| 7443s | pretty much the pacing that we would |
| 7445s | expect of a Som EMP and that is |
| 7447s | something else it really is an |
| 7449s | accomplishment as we're going to |
| 7451s | seea trying now to deal with this flux |
| 7455s | doesn't have the accretion on C won't be |
| 7457s | able to cancel it now uses it to connect |
| 7459s | on to Castle so that he's pushed back |
| 7461s | and can't put an the imortality field in |
| 7463s | time as MAA picks up the kill I mean it |
| 7466s | seems like team Mexico's kind of lost |
| 7468s | some faith in each other they're a bit |
| 7469s | just combobulate at the moment I mean |
| 7471s | what do they do to regroup here got a |
| 7472s | minute 30 seconds left Moxy he just does |
| 7475s | this death spiral just keep going yeah |
| 7477s | it's really unfortunate like I would |
| 7479s | honestly just advise them to try and |
| 7481s | push the point as quickly as possible |
| 7483s | Right swap onto El Lucio grab something |
| 7486s | like an Arisa to be able to survive the |
| 7488s | approach you've got a blizzard throw it |
| 7491s | onto the point at least you're going to |
| 7492s | be able to find some form of value as |
| 7494s | keep an ey Angel V the soan has actually |
| 7496s | been able to infiltrate into that |
| 7498s | backline and Finland might not have |
| 7501s | realized this no no they know they he's |
| 7503s | definitely back there that it's like |
| 7504s | does it really matter like we don't |
| 7505s | really got to worry about that so during |
| 7507s | at the moment now they exactly as you |
| 7509s | advised Moxy they mooved towards that |
| 7511s | point a little bit of interraction from |
| 7512s | AEL in that fight specifically now comes |
| 7514s | the artillery strike though after the |
| 7516s | gravitic flux hit the blizzard is here |
| 7517s | but like Masa may get found no not even |
| 7520s | one kill for them after dropping that |
| 7522s | Bard did he get a tick though with 40 |
| 7524s | seconds left that's something to take |
| 7526s | away but they still used a lot of |
| 7527s | ultimates and Finland are still |
| 7529s | outnumbering them with that in that |
| 7530s | department yeah castled on the orisa |
| 7532s | goes for the javelin Pro to try and |
| 7534s | cancel the flux but it's not the damage |
| 7536s | from the flux that you have to worry |
| 7537s | about it's the fact you're will anchored |
| 7539s | in one position and that's where SAA |
| 7540s | really makes that artillery strike count |
| 7543s | EXO do have an amplification Matrix with |
| 7545s | this Baptist that might be able to buy |
| 7546s | them some space but Finland closing up |
| 7548s | on a BL liard even if we hit into |
| 7550s | overtime they have the better ultimates |
| 7552s | they have more of the ultimates they're |
| 7554s | going to win a sust same fight they just |
| 7556s | try to charge in bit of a wasted window |
| 7558s | unfortunately can't even use that one |
| 7560s | counter window comes through for Mickey |
| 7561s | it's perfect now the blizzard there to |
| 7563s | touch the Point Mexico full team wipe |
| 7566s | nobody's there to touch Finland 20 in a |
| 7569s | very convincing fashion over team Mexico |
| 7571s | yeah incredibly dominant like you said |
| 7573s | Finland looking like one of the |
| 7575s | strongest teams in their group they said |
| 7578s | that they're going to try to take the |
| 7580s | fight to Korea they definitely have the |
| 7583s | means to be able to do so if they play |
| 7585s | like they did that dominantly that |
| 7587s | coordinated South Korea may well |
| 7591s | actually I mean they might not take a |
| 7592s | loss but they might lose a map yeah I |
| 7595s | mean that was May maybe we'll have to |
| 7597s | see I'm curious I mean that's going to |
| 7598s | be the matchup that everybody's looking |
| 7599s | forward to Finland versus Korea in this |
| 7601s | group in particular uh later on you know |
| 7605s | obviously in this matchup they look |
| 7606s | dominant Moxy I mean Finland didn't look |
| 7609s | like they lost a step I mean with Bola |
| 7611s | being in here um also MOS being in here |
| 7614s | and then obviously carries with sauna |
| 7616s | and their DPS lineup this team looks |
| 7618s | strong as HCK Cloud keep an eye on M |
| 7621s | plays keep an eye on May plays when you |
| 7624s | look at the meta at the moment yes Sigma |
| 7626s | is incredibly strong yes the Bastion |
| 7629s | does so much damage if you're not able |
| 7631s | to time your rotations and you fall a |
| 7634s | foul of the transformation but it's |
| 7636s | these May players because not only can |
| 7638s | they do so much damage with that primary |
| 7641s | rout doing 100 damage per second now |
| 7644s | it's the walls it's the fact that they |
| 7646s | can punish they can block out so many |
| 7648s | win conditions for the other team you |
| 7651s | look at Baptists what gets blocked by an |
| 7654s | what gets blocks with a May well |
| 7656s | amplification Matrix but also |
| 7657s | immortality field line of sight every |
| 7660s | single time a bapti threw out a lamp |
| 7662s | these May players are going to wait on |
| 7664s | their walls block the line of sight on |
| 7667s | the lamp so that the kill goes through |
| 7669s | through and the Baptist has wasted that |
| 7672s | ability as well really smart stuff |
| 7674s | coming through from all of our M so far |
| 7676s | today oh yeah I mean super smart stuff |
| 7678s | we talk to some super smart people to |
| 7680s | break down what happened to that matchup |
| 7682s | desk what do you have to say about that |
| 7684s | matchup between Finland and |
| 7687s | Mexico thank you so much Dustin and Moxy |
| 7689s | well first off I have to say something |
| 7691s | to you I'm not I'm not a Doomer Boomer |
| 7695s | no I think it's a Doomer gloomer a |
| 7697s | that's what I heard Maybe I heard what I |
| 7699s | wanted to hear I don't know okay my |
| 7701s | attitude might not be the right one to |
| 7703s | win video games but that's why I talk |
| 7705s | about them and not play them either way |
| 7707s | Finland they rocked up with the right |
| 7710s | attitude they were confident and they |
| 7712s | brought their aame going up against |
| 7714s | Mexico which I think Dustin also |
| 7717s | mentioned that as the match progressed |
| 7719s | they seem to lose Faith and Hope a |
| 7721s | little bit in each |
| 7722s | other yeah I mean I think Finland I |
| 7726s | think this match was just Finland was |
| 7728s | just the better team you know it's just |
| 7729s | overall um starting off the match I |
| 7732s | think Mexico when when C Castle came out |
| 7734s | with orisa and he got the first kill I |
| 7736s | was like yes but then after that it just |
| 7738s | sort of fell apart and Finland really |
| 7740s | showed you know that they had way more |
| 7742s | experience compared to Mexico and I |
| 7744s | think that was the deciding factor for |
| 7746s | this match and really throughout the |
| 7747s | whole match it was like Vesta was a |
| 7749s | great take I think just Finland in |
| 7751s | general really sort of uh proen prove |
| 7753s | themselves that they are you know along |
| 7755s | with South Korea the favorites to move |
| 7757s | out of group a right Johnny yeah I mean |
| 7759s | this team Finland it's a team that's |
| 7761s | looking at this you know making the |
| 7762s | semifinals like they have high |
| 7764s | aspirations This World Cup right and so |
| 7766s | it's it's two teams with different |
| 7768s | caliber um and and and Finland honestly |
| 7771s | a good showing from them uh they are if |
| 7773s | they get out second in this group after |
| 7775s | South Korea you know they're looking to |
| 7777s | face teams like United Kingdom that we |
| 7778s | saw in our first match of the day right |
| 7780s | and based on what we saw today with sa |
| 7782s | on the Bastion for example and like I |
| 7784s | said playing these fola Sigma |
| 7785s | compositions this is a strength for them |
| 7787s | that could be really hard to beat for |
| 7789s | some of these other teams that maybe |
| 7790s | struggle a bit with their rooll swaps |
| 7792s | and their their hero swaps and maybe |
| 7793s | playing something some Heroes that they |
| 7795s | aren't totally comfortable with this is |
| 7797s | like Finland playing what they best at |
| 7799s | right so they looked really good in |
| 7800s | their first match here against |
| 7803s | Mexico and here are the current |
| 7806s | standings now |
| 7807s | mexo Mexico taking the first L Finland |
| 7810s | moving on with the first Victory on the |
| 7813s | board confidently so um Emily already |
| 7816s | got us a little bit of insight from both |
| 7818s | of those team |
| 7819s | uh right after the first map but let's |
| 7822s | uh head it over to her again for some |
| 7825s | insight on how Finland now feels after |
| 7827s | getting the |
| 7830s | dub so |
| 7832s | em hi guys so good to see you |
| 7835s | again hi it's always lovely to see you |
| 7840s | and of course to hear from you uh as you |
| 7842s | got an opportunity to talk to Finland |
| 7844s | after the victory what does this Victory |
| 7846s | mean to them yes uh that I did well I |
| 7850s | think just like you said this win is |
| 7853s | tremendous and definitely is a quite a |
| 7856s | confident confidence booster um as they |
| 7860s | probably have to face South Korea very |
| 7862s | soon and I think they're feeling pretty |
| 7864s | good about it because um f actually says |
| 7866s | you know Masa has been great for the new |
| 7869s | players and just on their team they |
| 7871s | actually have three uh members you know |
| 7875s | including staff who have had OverWatch |

| 8145s | six matches and we're about to be |
| 8147s | halfway through as we are gearing up for |
| 8149s | Australia and Brazil facing off against |
| 8152s | one another welcome back everyone Zoe |
| 8155s | here joined by Danny and Johnny and we |
| 8157s | are getting ready to discuss this next |
| 8160s | matchup but I want to remind everyone |
| 8162s | that we also want to hear from you so |
| 8164s | make sure to use your socials include |
| 8166s | the hash wwc 2023 it Rhymes so it's got |
| 8171s | to be good we want to hear from you who |
| 8173s | you're rooting for what are your |
| 8174s | thoughts on the matches on the players |
| 8176s | on just everything actually how was your |
| 8178s | day what did you have for breakfast I'm |
| 8180s | just a very curious person I also want |
| 8182s | to hear our analyst's thoughts on the |
| 8186s | plays we're going to see for these two |
| 8188s | upcoming teams starting with Australia |
| 8190s | there's a lot of names people should be |
| 8192s | very aware of if they're following |
| 8194s | contenders Johnny yeah I mean look this |
| 8197s | is essentially the best Australian |
| 8199s | contenders has to offer right um and |
| 8201s | they did really well in the qualifiers |
| 8203s | as well um they topped their group uh |
| 8205s | over the likes of Thailand for example |
| 8207s | so if you came into the World Cup 2023 |
| 8209s | and you were like oh I'm excited about |
| 8210s | Thailand well this team is better than |
| 8212s | those guys okay they did it to the |
| 8213s | qualifiers so that about tells you uh |
| 8215s | that this can be a really strong team |
| 8217s | and look um they had Punk on the roster |
| 8219s | and punk decided to take a step back and |
| 8221s | didn't want to participate in the World |
| 8222s | Cup this year but that's fine cuz Kaa |
| 8225s | played most of the time for this team |
| 8226s | and qualifiers anyway so that's how they |
| 8228s | practiced and how they played some of |
| 8229s | these matches right um it's going to be |
| 8232s | pretty interesting to see how they |
| 8233s | perform uh towards some of these better |
| 8236s | teams in the World Cup as we move on |
| 8237s | throughout this tournament but austral |
| 8239s | Australia you know if you think back you |
| 8240s | had custa on those teams you know they |
| 8242s | were pretty scary right oh |
| 8244s | yeah I I I I don't think these will be |
| 8246s | the roles but I did would look like for |
| 8249s | kafa in specifically because I do think |
| 8251s | that kafa we seen them on North American |
| 8253s | contenders as well participating for |
| 8254s | Timeless we saw made the proam earlier |
| 8256s | this year right um so um yeah this team |
| 8260s | austral I think is going to be one to |
| 8261s | look out for graphics are taking us |
| 8263s | places today we're on a journey together |
| 8265s | I love that I love that for us now uh of |
| 8268s | course Australia they're one of those |
| 8270s | rusters whilst a lot of those players or |
| 8272s | I think all those players actually uh |
| 8274s | this is going to be their first or which |
| 8276s | World Cup showing we have a lot of |
| 8278s | Veteran uh star power there on the bench |
| 8282s | Johnny as for the coaches for the |
| 8285s | coaches the coaching Ben for for the |
| 8287s | coaches yeah you cut off there for a |
| 8288s | second the coaches for austral I mean |
| 8292s | too again I mean if you've been coaching |
| 8294s | at the top of of the over scene if |
| 8296s | you're in the tier one right that is |
| 8298s | really valuable going into the World Cup |
| 8300s | because it's about bringing together |
| 8302s | like some sense of chemistry and |
| 8304s | compositions in a very short amount of |
| 8306s | time you haven't practiced that much |
| 8307s | right so you need to figure out quickly |
| 8309s | what you're good at and implement it and |
| 8311s | if you got great coaches like Australia |
| 8312s | does then that's just going to boost |
| 8313s | your all playing really well here in the |
| 8315s | World Cup yeah yeah they going up |
| 8317s | against Brazil Danny yeah Brazil I mean |
| 8320s | they're sort of like Mexico there they |
| 8321s | have mostly a newer players so they're |
| 8324s | sort of green but uh I think one |
| 8326s | interesting thing is they had they do |
| 8328s | have Neil as their main tank in the |
| 8329s | lineup right now and this is his third |
| 8331s | OverWatch World Cup so we were talking |
| 8333s | about veterancy maybe this veterancy |
| 8336s | from Neil because this is his third time |
| 8338s | uh being the OverWatch World Cup maybe |
| 8340s | that could help out uh team Brazil this |
| 8342s | time and also I think just like Mexico |
| 8345s | maybe you know come in with confidence |
| 8347s | you know there's a surprise Factor you |
| 8348s | know not a lot of you know teams |
| 8350s | probably know how you guys what are what |
| 8352s | you guys are going to play and what you |
| 8353s | guys have prepared so I think you know |
| 8355s | just coming with confidence I think it |
| 8357s | is going to be an up battle for Brazil |
| 8359s | but you know it's still possible to get |
| 8361s | the win yeah and I mean dannie you just |
| 8363s | touched on something really important |
| 8365s | there having Neil in the lineup this |
| 8366s | being his third OverWatch World Cup uh |
| 8369s | as Emily said when she got to talk to |
| 8371s | Finland their reply was masa's veterancy |
| 8374s | him having had experience in a watch |
| 8376s | World Cup previously actually really |
| 8378s | helped out the other players in the team |
| 8380s | so maybe we can say the same thing about |
| 8381s | Brazil where uh Neil enjoying his third |
| 8385s | one and then of course we also have |
| 8386s | Ludwick who's enjoying during his second |
| 8388s | o World Cup maybe that can uh tip it |
| 8391s | over in their favor we will find out |
| 8393s | very soon first of all we have to look |
| 8395s | at our predictions for this one I once |
| 8398s | again went with the known factors I just |
| 8401s | know what to expect from that Australian |
| 8402s | team uh they are solid they have great |
| 8405s | Synergy I have a lot of faith in |
| 8407s | Australia making it |
| 8409s | through same I was going I was going to |
| 8412s | say I'm not I'm not going for Brazil but |
| 8415s | yes uh you know it's it's sort of the |
| 8417s | the more experienced players that I'm |
| 8419s | that I'm betting for so I'm going with |
| 8421s | the Australian team for this time yeah I |
| 8424s | I love that Dan Danny's just like an |
| 8425s | unknown factor at this point you never |
| 8427s | know what he's going to predict so I I I |
| 8429s | love that I to went 2 for Australia and |
| 8431s | look because this group is so difficult |
| 8433s | to predict I mean you got three really |
| 8435s | good teams surving for two spots right |
| 8437s | map differential comes into play so if |
| 8439s | you're Australian this one you do want |
| 8440s | to get away with a two win here because |
| 8443s | that's just going to help you if you go |
| 8444s | have to go like head-to-head map |
| 8446s | differential against uh Canada or Great |
| 8448s | Britain later on in the group right |
| 8451s | absolutely uh but yeah I'm I'm excited |
| 8454s | to see what they're cooking up for us uh |
| 8456s | especially again I I feel like the only |
| 8459s | thing I've been talking about here is |
| 8460s | coaches thus far but Australia has been |
| 8462s | coached by onter and Andre just about |
| 8465s | one of my favorite players players the |
| 8467s | people that we have in this scene so I'm |
| 8470s | interested to see what he's been cooking |
| 8471s | up with that team we find out very soon |
| 8474s | we're taking a very quick break and then |
| 8475s | we're back with all the action |
| 8492s | [Music] |

| 8626s | it's |
| 8640s | 3 2 1 let's |
| 8643s | [Music] |
| 8655s | [Music] |
| 8656s | go |
| 8660s | welcome back everybody to the OverWatch |
| 8662s | World Cup that's right it's been a few |
| 8663s | years it's great to be back here |
| 8665s | celebrating OverWatch the world over I'm |
| 8668s | M Lei here with Matt MLL we have a |
| 8669s | chance just before we jump into this |
| 8671s | match up between Australia and Brazil do |
| 8674s | have a bit of a recap and get |
| 8675s | reacquainted with one of our rosters |
| 8677s | here of course team Australia Matt |
| 8679s | roster that was being discussed pretty |
| 8680s | heavily in the pre-show a lot of people |
| 8682s | expecting them to be pretty dominant and |
| 8684s | kaffer obviously move them over into |
| 8686s | that yeah the tank role right uh you |
| 8688s | know three of these players uh for |
| 8690s | Ground Zero gaming right uh very very |
| 8692s | good roster uh Hunter as the coach I |
| 8696s | know so we talked about we'll talk about |
| 8697s | coaches later I mean some of these |
| 8698s | coaching staffs I mean they are they're |
| 8701s | deep they I mean they go well they go |
| 8702s | way back but they go way back in terms |
| 8704s | of the amount of people as well uh I |
| 8706s | don't even know if you got enough room |
| 8707s | in some of these some of these spots to |
| 8709s | fit all these coaches uh but no |
| 8711s | Australia should actually be uh really |
| 8713s | good this year I'm happy they gave uh |
| 8715s | you and I an Australian you know to to |
| 8718s | talk about you know our our fellow |
| 8719s | countrymen here give is put give is |
| 8721s | putting it LLY I think we probably |
| 8723s | deserve a bit of credit for basically |
| 8724s | taking it but that's fine we just said |
| 8726s | we we said we want because I have to fly |
| 8729s | yes we locked into this but hey you know |
| 8732s | what this is going to be an awesome |
| 8733s | match going to start with ilos Here and |
| 8735s | Now Brazil had a pretty strong showing |
| 8738s | in their group one team kind of got to |
| 8740s | them it was actually uh team colia andos |
| 8742s | was a map featured in that particular |
| 8744s | Series in which colia kind of ran away |
| 8746s | with it the next next map jalter a |
| 8748s | little closer in that series quite |
| 8750s | competitive in that region on the other |
| 8752s | side of things I think it was pointed |
| 8753s | out on the desk by Johnny here is that |
| 8755s | team Australia only dropped one map uh |
| 8757s | through that a pack qualifier they were |
| 8759s | not in the group with South Korea at Al |
| 8761s | so they have a little bit of a smoother |
| 8764s | pathway here towards uh towards these |
| 8766s | matches but again they look very very |
| 8768s | dominant up against much of their |
| 8769s | opposition and a team like Thailand is |
| 8771s | always one that people are keeping their |
| 8772s | eye on here and not just Ground Zero as |
| 8774s | well Ground Zero uh definitely made a |
| 8776s | name for themselves actually getting |
| 8777s | some results outside of Australia in in |
| 8780s | contenders being able to beat that Billy |
| 8781s | Billy gaming Squad but we've got two |
| 8783s | players from Honeypot who are the |
| 8784s | winners of the full contenders series |
| 8786s | and of course kaffer if you watch |
| 8788s | contenders uh in na was on that Timeless |
| 8790s | team so definitely Prov proven quantity |
| 8792s | here but Brazil they have Mauricio onor |
| 8795s | on their coaching staff just quietly |
| 8797s | obviously a player that was uh gained a |
| 8799s | lot of popularity when he played those |
| 8800s | couple of World Cups as well we're out |
| 8801s | of the gates here though map it's going |
| 8802s | to be well to start us off it feels like |
| 8804s | an eternity ago I mean because |
| 8808s | because it probably probably is as both |
| 8811s | teams coming out with like an echo based |
| 8812s | comp with uh Winston uh you know we we |
| 8816s | we see like Winston obviously in a lot |
| 8817s | of like these dive variations but you |
| 8819s | know and I think ilos makes a ton of |
| 8821s | sense but a lot of maps going to fallen |
| 8822s | out of favor and that'll be n toall in |
| 8824s | early yeah look I think the mercy the |
| 8826s | key point of difference here this really |
| 8827s | allows Lord we to play that little bit |
| 8829s | more aggressively and so they do |
| 8831s | immediately working his way through that |
| 8833s | Australian Squad going to be BR Anor for |
| 8836s | this |
| 8837s | butly is a to zero in on his opposite |
| 8840s | number and out of it well right I mean |
| 8842s | with having the mercy in Play It's |
| 8844s | really just you know pocket the Echo and |
| 8846s | and hopefully the echo uh does that what |
| 8848s | we just saw in that first fight two to |
| 8850s | three times and then you end up winning |
| 8851s | the map right as uh now you were talking |
| 8854s | a little bit earlier uh to me like off |
| 8856s | camera about like the Brazil process for |
| 8858s | finding this team uh it seemed pretty |
| 8861s | grueling I think they definitely found |
| 8863s | the the best mix of players it seems |
| 8865s | yeah I I want to expand on that just |
| 8867s | moment here the better St for nander in |
| 8868s | this fight they get rid of that key |
| 8869s | Mercy still though spenco causing them |
| 8872s | some problems C is going to be brought |
| 8873s | down nand slept on the point but is able |
| 8874s | to gain some altitude before the Tracer |
| 8877s | can get the job done Brazil off to a |
| 8879s | pretty solid lead here already at that |
| 8880s | 40% and a PO woman in hand for speno was |
| 8883s | definitely meant for the brg but bog is |
| 8885s | able to just get her away nand trying to |
| 8887s | keep above the ground here as fenco |
| 8888s | again nipping out the heels but |
| 8890s | eventually it's a long- range bionade |
| 8892s | there an attempt to Res the aror that |
| 8893s | was just taken down interrupted and nand |
| 8895s | fin lwig again |
| 8898s | yeah now I think for Brazil it's like |
| 8899s | how long can you kind of stall this out |
| 8901s | Neil will fall not able to get that |
| 8903s | Primal Rage but still |
| 8905s | 57% uh pretty good here for Brazil right |
| 8908s | off the rip and they're going to come |
| 8909s | back in uh know you'll have your Nano |
| 8911s | for your Winston here or your Echo |
| 8913s | depending on what you would want to do |
| 8914s | the the Winston already pretty has |
| 8916s | Primal so you can kind of go with lwi if |
| 8918s | you really want to give him a lot of |
| 8920s | know extra damage to be able to pocket n |
| 8922s | Living Dangerously there n was hoping to |
| 8924s | burn the mercy down but the heals were |
| 8925s | good very close to is that Mercy but |
| 8928s | xell left alone in the backline n's able |
| 8930s | to finish the dob there with the sticky |
| 8931s | bombs and a rally in play but who can |
| 8933s | benefit from it on the side of Brazil as |
| 8934s | lwi duplicates a brg nand instead wants |
| 8937s | to go a bit more aggressive it's going |
| 8938s | to be a tracer D now speno elsewhere had |
| 8940s | already found kaer with the pulse nander |
| 8943s | maybe not getting the most value out of |
| 8944s | this switch here is there's no way to |
| 8946s | really put pressure on n as they stay so |
| 8948s | high up NE wants to go in here pulse one |
| 8950s | throwing behind he actually takes much |
| 8951s | of the damage but to the rescue comes |
| 8953s | naor again the mercy is everywhere right |
| 8955s | now and Brazil with the chance to |
| 8958s | yeah I mean that that Valkyrie is huge |
| 8960s | right uh being able to keep everybody |
| 8961s | topped up I mean Neil ends up getting |
| 8963s | the uh Nano boost and then also the |
| 8965s | valkyrie coming on in but Nami takes out |
| 8968s | two yeah that res get punished there n |
| 8970s | brings the Anna back into the fight but |
| 8972s | all it does is prolong things a little |
| 8974s | bit more yeah so I mean a bunch of teams |
| 8977s | had to compete in a huge double |
| 8978s | elimination bracket for the chance to |
| 8980s | try out for this squad War Pigs is like |
| 8983s | a very uh it's a household name in sort |
| 8985s | of sort of the braz Ilan uh scene so |
| 8989s | they are able to win they go through and |
| 8991s | I think about half of their team ends up |
| 8992s | on this roster in the end here so a |
| 8994s | really grueling process but great to see |
| 8995s | so many teams turning up to try out here |
| 8998s | uh this region was incredible to watch |
| 9000s | the back in 2020 2019 Peri at the start |
| 9004s | of this fight map there's something here |
| 9005s | a n boost available for here who lost |
| 9009s | two I mean yeah like who who did even |
| 9013s | end up going on to it looks like maybe |
| 9015s | it was actually over to burlock but ends |
| 9017s | up falling right away cuz uh didn't look |
| 9019s | like at least on the UI that you know it |
| 9020s | went over towards cuffer so maybe the |
| 9022s | Nano in for nothing back in the fight |
| 9024s | though brought back by n who's able to |
| 9026s | stay inside the Winston bubble dropped |
| 9028s | before Neil went down speno really |
| 9030s | trying to get to gz with AI here as |
| 9031s | kaffer is slip during the Primal Rage |
| 9033s | but eventually he'll be roused a recall |
| 9035s | forced here as fenko looks to press an |
| 9037s | army down and a double bonade on the |
| 9038s | backline that's perfect xell finds a |
| 9041s | huge connection and now Australia may be |
| 9044s | forced to concede control here near with |
| 9046s | the primal rage CER will be removed now |
| 9048s | that bionade was good it's going to |
| 9049s | force the recall and Nami doesn't have |
| 9051s | anywhere to go Brazil maintain a |
| 9053s | foothold here yeah it's going to be 99 |
| 9056s | though for Australia it will be the flip |
| 9058s | but I got to say Ny and XEL being able |
| 9060s | to keep each other alive right the |
| 9062s | valkyrie able to keep the honor up as XL |
| 9064s | is getting Primal raged by kuffer cuffer |
| 9067s | making the right play that's exactly |
| 9068s | what you want to do in that type of |
| 9069s | situation just not able to pick up that |
| 9072s | kill and now you look across Brazil does |
| 9074s | have that Nano boost potentially on the |
| 9076s | Neil here maybe you can make a play for |
| 9077s | the backline get that rally out |
| 9080s | early here wants to play safe give an |
| 9083s | easy n boost over towards Neil lot of |
| 9085s | eggs being thrown in that basket but oh |
| 9087s | they catch n n he's been all over this |
| 9090s | so far and there's no way L's getting |
| 9092s | out of Dodge there Neil also getting |
| 9093s | taken down so quickly xville never had a |
| 9096s | chance to deliver that Nano boost over |
| 9097s | the W the tank of Brazil unclear what |
| 9099s | happened there but a key key |
| 9101s | misconnection and team Australia look |
| 9103s | well positioned to take this one away a |
| 9105s | Neil it'll be a cursory but that'll be |
| 9107s | all as Australia take well much closer |
| 9110s | than I think uh a lot of people would |
| 9111s | have thought this round number one goes |
| 9114s | but man Brazil with an opportunity there |
| 9116s | towards the end just you know Exel in a |
| 9118s | in an interesting spot there just trying |
| 9120s | to like kind of see NE POV but then also |
| 9123s | Nile then kind of comes out of the right |
| 9125s | hand side as he's getting Dove by kuffa |
| 9127s | and uh I believe it was Nami at the time |
| 9130s | and he's not able to make it up towards |
| 9132s | The High Ground on the mercy he ends up |
| 9133s | falling and then when Exel goes to try |
| 9135s | and find Neil again and he's dead as |
| 9137s | well so not an opportunity to get that |
| 9140s | Nano off here it is and then see yeah |
| 9143s | Neil's just coming back but at that |
| 9145s | point xfel had like break it broken like |
| 9147s | line of sight right he was trying to |
| 9149s | heal you know n as he's coming out |
| 9151s | towards him so quite unfortunate |
| 9154s | Australia with a little bit of a comp |
| 9155s | change here so we'll see the uh the |
| 9157s | Bastion coming in with that Reinhardt |
| 9158s | yeah so far ticking the box for the |
| 9161s | Winston Tracer dive set up for Australia |
| 9163s | very appropriate on well as we head |
| 9165s | towards ruin though the basing gets |
| 9167s | busted out T looks to try and at least |
| 9170s | maintain this High Ground Control here |
| 9171s | gives Nami a pretty good angle to work |
| 9173s | from NE already receiving some |
| 9176s | pleasantries now as lwig tries to |
| 9177s | approach here not a great place for the |
| 9180s | echo to have to come from but now Brazil |
| 9182s | been out to take some position forc them |
| 9183s | back n now has to try and light on top |
| 9185s | of this Mery and put some damage down |
| 9186s | but n's taken down early not much the |
| 9188s | SIM can do against that aerial assault |
| 9190s | but Australia explode n caught by a |
| 9193s | charge not a great start arm is getting |
| 9195s | close to another tank mode |
| 9197s | but I got to say though I mean uh Brazil |
| 9199s | keeps getting these first picks it feels |
| 9201s | like you know lwig able to come up with |
| 9202s | a pick like it feels like every fight at |
| 9205s | the start you're just not able to |
| 9206s | capitalize and I I really like this |
| 9208s | Bastion switch specifically here on |
| 9209s | ruins like if you know Neil is going to |
| 9212s | be in a tough spot right and break line |
| 9213s | of sight and you know try and make it |
| 9215s | back the Bastion is going to punish a |
| 9217s | lot of that activity that's gross I'll |
| 9220s | just able to get away Nami materializes |
| 9222s | in front of the Brazilian line f b |
| 9224s | grenade connects just in time able to |
| 9226s | throw down an immortality field go with |
| 9228s | XEL again another charge connection from |
| 9230s | kaffa the man is taking absolutely no |
| 9232s | prisoners L with the basan dup here kafa |
| 9234s | very quickly having to throw that Shield |
| 9235s | up he'll be able to eat much of this |
| 9237s | assault configuration Kaa charges back |
| 9239s | to the point but Neil is brought back |
| 9241s | into the fight this is a big swing now |
| 9242s | for Brazil as they're 40% behind C now |
| 9245s | looks to the skies get himself a parasol |
| 9247s | as those mortars rain on in but there's |
| 9249s | no support left for the r and Australia |
| 9251s | will be evicted you should be able to |
| 9254s | tie this up I think for Brazil pretty |
| 9256s | pretty safely right you're going to have |
| 9258s | like an ant Matrix coming in here for |
| 9260s | Australia like a shatter but you're |
| 9263s | going to be in a spot where you have |
| 9264s | this Valkyrie to keep everybody topped |
| 9266s | up you can get a little bit aggressive |
| 9267s | behind to build up Primal build up uh |
| 9269s | that Nano boost so really like the |
| 9271s | position brazils in at the moment xell |
| 9273s | in a spot here potentially with a big |
| 9275s | bio yet again is fire play with the bio |
| 9280s | though imity F only on Nana by the looks |
| 9282s | of things Australia completely fled by |
| 9285s | that play lying in wait was the Anor and |
| 9288s | it's a perfect approach for Brazil it's |
| 9290s | a composition from Australia that has to |
| 9292s | play close together by definition and I |
| 9295s | get punished for it yeah and they end up |
| 9297s | getting through it with those two |
| 9298s | ultimates I was talking about right they |
| 9299s | end up building up that Nano boost they |
| 9301s | give it on to Neil just a little bit of |
| 9303s | extra damage on the point and then the |
| 9305s | Valk keep everybody topped up safe |
| 9307s | through it so the win here for Australia |
| 9309s | is like you know burlock didn't get the |
| 9311s | sound barrier and didn't end up burning |
| 9313s | it there but may have to use it here |
| 9315s | quite early oh they actually |
| 9317s | that's huge sound barri is perfect M the |
| 9319s | mortality felt killed kept Australia |
| 9321s | alive the pulse bomb connected they were |
| 9322s | all so low even the bonade thrown in |
| 9325s | there gets shot down by that one py tiny |
| 9327s | little drone and Australia able to break |
| 9330s | through nothing subtle about this this |
| 9331s | is plastic surgery with a sledgehammer |
| 9333s | but it's working yeah there there |
| 9335s | there's some people out there screaming |
| 9337s | at the the stream like look how strong |
| 9339s | Baptist is with the immortality field |
| 9341s | which you know actually I mean that is |
| 9343s | huge right you know three players there |
| 9344s | get hit with a bio uh no need for a |
| 9347s | cleanse right just drop that immortality |
| 9348s | field everybody just play around it for |
| 9350s | a bit and wait for it to wear off okay |
| 9352s | here comes that Sim W going to throw it |
| 9355s | up here Kaa wants to play from the safe |
| 9356s | side of it but a Primal Rage here from |
| 9358s | Neil is a little bit concerning May well |
| 9360s | look to knock them out of position ka's |
| 9362s | holding onto a Shad here no one really |
| 9364s | coming close enough to the ground though |
| 9366s | this charger had to be canceled kapper |
| 9367s | wants to play Just Around the pillars |
| 9369s | for the time being l a problem but cover |
| 9371s | can't really interact it goes for a |
| 9372s | shadow but the bubble is going to be |
| 9373s | there at the D basan for lwig he'll be |
| 9375s | knocked out of that trans |
| 9377s | and a huge a matrix up close allows |
| 9379s | Australia to burn a little bit to the |
| 9381s | ground Dy sends up a grenade to that |
| 9383s | High Ground a pulse bomb here on CER but |
| 9385s | he's able to shrug it off speno though |
| 9387s | chases Sebastian down a Nami not nearly |
| 9389s | as resistant as the tank actually still |
| 9391s | in a pretty decent spot here Seno |
| 9393s | repositions with that teleporter and N |
| 9395s | gets picked off by bird log now ai able |
| 9398s | to play from a safe spot again does have |
| 9399s | to make use of that regenerative burst |
| 9401s | but Australia are holding on this compat |
| 9403s | it's so hard to break and now with the |
| 9405s | sound barrier it's impossible to put a |
| 9407s | scratch on them L gets taken down as he |
| 9409s | followed an Neil's footsteps and now the |
| 9410s | Winston is going to get him beaten yeah |
| 9413s | and I mean seeing these two comps go |
| 9415s | against each other uh Brazil needs these |
| 9417s | fights to be over fast right the longer |
| 9420s | they go the better they are for |
| 9421s | Australia with that Reinhardt in the mix |
| 9423s | is do have a contest still going on it |
| 9426s | was lwi getting the benefits of the Nano |
| 9428s | few players we bit of competitive map so |
| 9432s | far Matthew but it's about to come to a |
| 9433s | close as lwig has to leave the points in |
| 9436s | order to get some safety and team |
| 9439s | Australia will take ilos away two |
| 9441s | distinctly different compositions from |
| 9443s | this team already a bit of depth being |
| 9445s | displayed over the course of just one |
| 9447s | map first map the Winston Tracer looks |
| 9449s | really solid it's a real brawl there's a |
| 9451s | lot of elements on this Brazilian side |
| 9453s | though that are frightening a lot of key |
| 9454s | individual prow is being displayed well |
| 9457s | look they're trying to capitalize on the |
| 9459s | opening pickoffs from blood wig and then |
| 9461s | those know big biotic grenades right |
| 9463s | that are coming on through and actually |
| 9465s | doing a good job Conn with a few people |
| 9467s | right and especially with a composition |
| 9469s | on the other side that is not like dive |
| 9472s | oriented right a composition that wants |
| 9473s | to like play a little bit more sturdier |
| 9476s | and on the points if you don't get like |
| 9477s | those kills early on you're in a lot of |
| 9480s | trouble especially against that comp ran |
| 9482s | in round number two on ruins here know |
| 9484s | on well you saw Brazil pretty much play |
| 9486s | this like a 50/50 game and this one goes |
| 9488s | the distance right could have went |
| 9489s | either way uh they looked much better in |
| 9492s | this because it's it's the same type of |
| 9494s | game right where you're having these |
| 9495s | like uh fights that the the first pick |
| 9498s | is huge right early burst damage trying |
| 9500s | to capitalize on supports and |
| 9502s | positioning once it goes into a a comp |
| 9505s | though that Australia is way more sturdy |
| 9508s | right bringing in the Baptist having the |
| 9509s | Reinhardt having that Bastion you need |
| 9512s | these fights to be over really fast if |
| 9514s | you're going to win them for Brazil and |
| 9516s | happen there's an element of this |
| 9517s | Australian roster here this team |
| 9519s | composition that's really telegraphed |
| 9521s | right so it gives Brazil some key |
| 9523s | Windows to exploit they do that right |
| 9524s | xell sets up with a couple of big biotic |
| 9526s | grenades but the the defensive utility |
| 9529s | for this Australia composition is nuts |
| 9530s | it wasn't just that immortality field |
| 9532s | that saves him from a big bio it's a |
| 9534s | sound barrier that comes in after |
| 9535s | because team Brazil threw a bloody pulse |
| 9537s | bomb at them all grouped together in a |
| 9538s | small room they feel like they're doing |
| 9540s | everything right in trying to break down |
| 9542s | that Rush composition but still couldn't |
| 9544s | get there team Australia far too canny |
| 9546s | when it came to the counter play yeah |
| 9548s | and I and I think that'll definitely |
| 9550s | give Brazil problems as we move forward |
| 9553s | uh in this series we'll see you know |
| 9554s | what map comes up here next uh for |
| 9557s | Brazil if you're Brazil uh try and pick |
| 9559s | a map that you can force some of those |
| 9561s | Winston Echo comps that seems like where |
| 9564s | you know you had the most success there |
| 9566s | uh on ilos and uh circuit this is |
| 9568s | interesting right circuit you can play a |
| 9570s | ton of those Bastion setups uh you see a |
| 9572s | lot of Sigma here on circuit so uh |
| 9575s | Curious what Brazil has cooked up here |
| 9577s | for this next map yeah I mean we we saw |
| 9579s | them play this map against Ecuador in |
| 9581s | day three the America's conference had a |
| 9582s | very comfortable win Ecuador not able |
| 9584s | able to get that first checkpoint so |
| 9586s | keep an eye on that one maybe a pocket |
| 9587s | pick here for team Brazil as they look |
| 9589s | to even the odds against |
| 9608s | [Music] |
| 9615s | Australia |
| 9616s | [Music] |
| 9632s | [Music] |
| 9645s | me |
| 9654s | [Music] |
| 9674s | me |
| 9676s | [Music] |
| 9687s | [Music] |
| 9698s | [Music] |
| 9704s | [Music] |
| 9721s | [Music] |
| 9785s | [Music] |
| 9792s | the same form being maintained by team |
| 9795s | Australia coming out of their respective |
| 9797s | qualifier region a strong start as ilios |
| 9799s | goes in their way after a real back and |
| 9801s | forth on well we got to ruins and things |
| 9804s | opened up a little bit more team |
| 9805s | Australia opted for that Reinhardt Rush |
| 9807s | composition and it was just too star |
| 9809s | wart to break to team Brazil a making a |
| 9812s | substitution at tank yeah as uh daa come |
| 9815s | in here for Neil so uh maybe when we |
| 9818s | discussed uh what they what they would |
| 9820s | decide to do going into this you know |
| 9822s | map and what looked good what looked bad |
| 9824s | there from map number number one uh |
| 9827s | didn't have the knowledge they were |
| 9827s | going to bring in do here from map |
| 9829s | number two so could give them a |
| 9830s | different look here is your team Brazil |
| 9833s | lineup of course lwi and speno rather |
| 9835s | gave a strong account of themselves on |
| 9837s | ilios in general both the eeko and |
| 9839s | Tracer play tough to deal with xell of |
| 9841s | course the Mastermind of a couple of |
| 9843s | those key set plays revolving around the |
| 9845s | Anna nade prior to a big TP play made by |
| 9849s | team Australia and N has been tough to |
| 9851s | catch on that Mercy but as you notice |
| 9853s | especially in some of the highlights M |
| 9854s | of that well map |
| 9857s | even every bit of mobility in Mercy's |
| 9859s | kit which many people have said is |
| 9860s | excessive just wasn't nearly enough Nami |
| 9862s | was constantly chasing n down and able |
| 9865s | to find eliminations here what is that |
| 9866s | what what kind of handshake is that mate |
| 9868s | what was that think about it big fellow |
| 9870s | pull your head in oh Mitch just told me |
| 9872s | that the bloom and onion doesn't exist |
| 9874s | in Australia and I was stunned well no I |
| 9878s | mean we don't like you explain it to me |
| 9880s | right we don't have our back obviously |
| 9882s | because it would be burnt down instantly |
| 9884s | but what is it fried onion who says we |
| 9887s | eat fried onion I mean like that I |
| 9891s | thought that was like a you can get on |
| 9892s | your Pokeball or it's something that you |
| 9894s | can get from Ikea like it's a it's a |
| 9896s | it's a Swedish garnish who who said that |
| 9898s | we I don't know where that comes from we |
| 9900s | might stick on the barbecue give him a |
| 9902s | little give him a little grillin could |
| 9904s | be a new business AR no they they just |
| 9906s | took like a saying from the |
| 9909s | 1940s so molding bro my hairline can't |
| 9913s | go back much further I look like a RIS |
| 9914s | Shield forehead already mate |
| 9916s | oh yeah I mean just stop yeah you just |
| 9919s | got to you got to start considering |
| 9920s | shaving it goes any further back so |
| 9922s | we'll have uh well believe this is |
| 9925s | Brazil here on uh defense so uh we'll |
| 9928s | get that switched up top so uh they'll |
| 9930s | come out and play a sigma base comp so |
| 9931s | talked about how uh Sigma extremely good |
| 9935s | here uh on circuit this is kind of what |
| 9937s | you want to see here uh from really just |
| 9940s | about every team is they'll play with a |
| 9942s | Genji so so uh don't want to play A bash |
| 9945s | you play Bash with this the sigma's |
| 9947s | pretty strong against fasion uh I feel |
| 9950s | like if there is any tanks that can kind |
| 9953s | of like stand up to the damage output |
| 9956s | probably like a recent Sigma uh I think |
| 9959s | Sigma actually probably does a little |
| 9960s | bit of a better job like barrier plus |
| 9962s | kinetic grasp uh and stun potentially so |
| 9966s | we'll see how they play against it he |
| 9967s | definitely has to rotate his cool Downs |
| 9969s | pretty well though dala because there's |
| 9970s | a lot of pressure on that barrier |
| 9971s | especially with Mander as well playing |
| 9973s | in the front line I kind of prefer to |
| 9974s | see D play High ground and try and get |
| 9976s | some poke damage in you can see how low |
| 9977s | cuffer Shield has already gotten on this |
| 9979s | approach but this is you know I want say |
| 9981s | for real estate but Australia been a to |
| 9983s | advance pretty significantly now and |
| 9985s | much of the players on The High Ground |
| 9986s | position being forced down V the last to |
| 9988s | leave here but Australia has a pretty |
| 9990s | strong spot to play from and Brazil is |
| 9991s | still biting their time yeah I'm curious |
| 9994s | why they choose to do this Brazil |
| 9996s | because you're playing with like Genji |
| 9998s | Soldier right like you want to play they |
| 10000s | not exactly close up right but you still |
| 10003s | have that you know sturdiness with the |
| 10004s | sigma to be able to kind of like brawl a |
| 10006s | little bit which feels like is the |
| 10008s | strength of their comp like lwig poking |
| 10009s | here at range on Genji isn't going to |
| 10011s | get it done I mean there's already an |
| 10012s | amp Matrix here yeah I mean just not not |
| 10015s | a huge fan of the way they play that I |
| 10017s | would love to see them push up a little |
| 10018s | bit get aggressive because uh dka can |
| 10021s | survive this like you know that when |
| 10023s | when Bastion goes Wheels mode right you |
| 10025s | know you get the kinetic grass you got a |
| 10027s | shield going Sigma can get up to like |
| 10029s | 800 something HP I mean he can get up |
| 10031s | high you know absorbing a lot of that |
| 10033s | damage and then you can start fighting I |
| 10035s | mean you also have a brg in the mix at |
| 10036s | the start right so like backing up like |
| 10039s | with the brig and the genja it just |
| 10040s | doesn't really work out I much prefer |
| 10042s | the Zim switch here for n of course |
| 10044s | especially if Brazil are so priced into |
| 10046s | trying to keep australi then why play |
| 10047s | Genji like what's the Genji here uh I |
| 10050s | mean that's a fair point I think |
| 10052s | eventually there is going to be an |
| 10053s | engagement be had pressure back lines I |
| 10055s | guess but against like a Baptist Lucio |
| 10056s | it doesn't seem like the best Target the |
| 10059s | problem is as well as if you play a PO |
| 10060s | comp like this and you just give ground |
| 10062s | you're actually just feeding Al charge |
| 10063s | to a lot of supports here finally finds |
| 10065s | an angle though around that Shield of |
| 10067s | copper and that's a huge opener now |
| 10069s | seems out of the piture dark also has |
| 10072s | that gravitic flux in the back pocket |
| 10074s | here I think going to have to wait their |
| 10075s | time there's a lot of three damage here |
| 10077s | for |
| 10078s | Dela yeah and this could be huge right |
| 10080s | the flock because uh you have the sound |
| 10083s | barrier on the opposite side here's |
| 10084s | going to be a blade uh can you okay so |
| 10087s | they get sound barrier out there now you |
| 10089s | have a free flux yeah that's really nice |
| 10091s | I mean what does Australia do from that |
| 10093s | position it's really a matter of not |
| 10094s | getting staggered and taken down so |
| 10096s | doesn't feel like the best exchange L |
| 10098s | from Down Under here comes the wall |
| 10100s | though not going to do much about a |
| 10101s | gravic flux here is over the top comes D |
| 10102s | putting the pressure down the flux came |
| 10104s | out but to what effect it's unclear |
| 10106s | Nanda and Kappa able to bring the sigma |
| 10108s | down as we see an uncharacteristic |
| 10110s | moment of aggression from this |
| 10111s | composition that falls utterly |
| 10114s | flat yeah uh no it's a nice flux but you |
| 10117s | just have to push past that Sim shield |
| 10120s | and at that point right you have no |
| 10122s | healing Potential from your B right it's |
| 10124s | a very very difficult to kind of you |
| 10126s | know get him on the the the opposite |
| 10128s | side there and and yeah this going to be |
| 10131s | a point to take here uh for Australia I |
| 10134s | mean they they are speed running here |
| 10135s | through circuit I mean there's a lot of |
| 10137s | elements here that really put a sigma |
| 10139s | composition to Peril map the symmetra TP |
| 10142s | just to throw forward I mean you don't |
| 10144s | even necessarily have to follow it but |
| 10145s | if you want to close the gap and stop |
| 10146s | getting poked down at naum then that's |
| 10148s | an easy option for you finally lwi gets |
| 10151s | into the action now but a pressure the |
| 10152s | Bastion down that deflect is really |
| 10153s | crucial whena configuration is active |
| 10156s | but it best it's a trade you've lost |
| 10157s | both your supports now as Brazil and you |
| 10159s | are being run off the map but you know |
| 10161s | what I would like here like if if you're |
| 10163s | Brazil right you could run a Bastion of |
| 10165s | your own like if you want to play let's |
| 10167s | say you want to play the Genji here know |
| 10169s | potentially you could run like Bastion |
| 10172s | Genji and then at least have like some |
| 10174s | followup right and enough know damage |
| 10176s | cuz I think the The Bash can can take |
| 10179s | advantage of the Reinhardt like you can |
| 10180s | maneuver the Reinhardt around the map |
| 10181s | with the the Sim TP but uh you know you |
| 10184s | kind of play play it right eventually |
| 10185s | they're out of Mobility you can you can |
| 10187s | kind of catch this Reinhard off |
| 10190s | guard already this High Ground Control I |
| 10193s | me Australia don't need to stay here but |
| 10195s | being able to get the car where they |
| 10196s | have without taking any casualties is |
| 10198s | just massive now that High Ground |
| 10199s | position is basically invalidated a TP |
| 10201s | to The High Ground but Kaa doesn't quite |
| 10202s | make it it's going to still Force out a |
| 10204s | Transcendence Nami you're very |
| 10205s | uncomfortable spot to be after that |
| 10207s | zenat ultimate was drawn from them and |
| 10210s | Brazil will be able to find a foothold |
| 10212s | here finally maybe met a chance to |
| 10214s | reestablish some high Ground Control and |
| 10215s | actually find purchase with these poke |
| 10218s | elements yeah I mean right this is where |
| 10221s | know this part of the map you think you |
| 10222s | maybe make a a little bit of an impact |
| 10225s | where you kind of have the soj on one |
| 10226s | side the sigma on the other kind of just |
| 10228s | like poking constantly Genji could even |
| 10231s | you know contest if need be see how |
| 10233s | Australia plays this though Mitch you're |
| 10235s | going to have everything coming into |
| 10237s | this fight I mean an opportunity to like |
| 10239s | engage with sound barrier collapse on |
| 10241s | top of uh the Zenyatta mean the Zen |
| 10245s | other would just crumble in that regard |
| 10247s | the issue is the sound barrier here has |
| 10249s | to answer either blade or grav flux |
| 10251s | unlikely it's going to be adequate to |
| 10252s | cover both of them and just as the air |
| 10254s | Matrix came up speno rips A's head off |
| 10257s | here's that flux and Del's happy enough |
| 10259s | to get C such a high value elimination |
| 10261s | here and birdog used that sound barrier |
| 10263s | Australia came to that fight utterly |
| 10265s | unprepared Brazil used one ultimate to |
| 10267s | win |
| 10268s | it yeah I mean that that is huge right |
| 10271s | that is an ant Matrix and sound barrier |
| 10273s | gone which are two huge ultimates like |
| 10276s | no Kaa is like are you going to be able |
| 10278s | to get a great shatter off here like now |
| 10280s | this allows lwig to get really |
| 10282s | aggressive with this Blade with no real |
| 10284s | counter on the other side is |
| 10287s | a a early uh ant Matrix here |
| 10292s | zoning going to buy some time but uh |
| 10295s | still it allows blood to get aggressive |
| 10297s | with this blade and you know may maybe |
| 10299s | get another fight win for Brazil which |
| 10301s | this is huge right they burned like 2 |
| 10303s | minutes off this clock already after |
| 10304s | playing really no defense up until this |
| 10307s | point I love that coming from an |
| 10309s | unexpected angle there maybe not |
| 10310s | expecting a drop down here comes the |
| 10312s | blade that'll be one for lwig symmetra |
| 10315s | that vulnerability at close range gets |
| 10317s | exploited to its fullest as lwig is able |
| 10319s | to find four kills in that fight |
| 10321s | Australia try a cute little off angle TP |
| 10324s | to catch Brazil off it doesn't pay off |
| 10327s | all right this is where though Australia |
| 10329s | has an opportunity to win this fight |
| 10331s | right you have you can TP shatter you |
| 10333s | could actually like you know use use the |
| 10335s | artillery and then force them into a |
| 10337s | spot and like TP into that like a few |
| 10339s | opportunities here that's going to be |
| 10341s | the shatter straight away it's going to |
| 10342s | connect with |
| 10344s | three that is so big Nami brings that |
| 10347s | roof down on top of Brazil there not |
| 10350s | much can do about that eventually CER |
| 10351s | found some use for that ultimate and it |
| 10354s | will be brought down eventually but |
| 10355s | here's a chance for Australia to take |
| 10356s | some strides towards the end of the map |
| 10358s | still though another full fight at least |
| 10361s | to win in the transcend is just around |
| 10362s | the corner the the carts move so far |
| 10365s | back right because a few fight wins for |
| 10367s | Brazil and then lwi able to contest here |
| 10369s | so even going to stop it from moving |
| 10371s | further |
| 10372s | so few fights are huge for Brazil's |
| 10375s | opportunity to potentially hold on deep |
| 10378s | and Matrix from the off angle here it's |
| 10379s | not perfect to catch T but it's going to |
| 10380s | force the Transcendence one way or |
| 10382s | another Brazil happy though to leverage |
| 10384s | it here Australia falling under 1 minute |
| 10386s | left on their attack and it'll be a |
| 10389s | stagger on nandy here just to Twist the |
| 10392s | knife now just a |
| 10395s | 30 seconds left on the |
| 10398s | clock been able to stop this Bastion |
| 10401s | comp now a few times in a row it seems |
| 10403s | like they finally got their footing here |
| 10405s | Brazil daa with a huge gravitic flux no |
| 10408s | support ultimate on the other side |
| 10410s | really just that immortality field |
| 10412s | that's going to keep everybody up that |
| 10413s | high ground that Australia fought so |
| 10415s | doggedly to capture a few fights ago as |
| 10418s | well and truly been retaken by Brazil so |
| 10421s | now it's all about playing on the point |
| 10422s | gravic flux now going to that low R Dela |
| 10424s | just having to look elsewhere here no |
| 10426s | connection with the accretion and look |
| 10427s | how aggressive cover is looking to get |
| 10429s | now with the immortality field in play |
| 10430s | Australia can withand this bird log has |
| 10432s | a sound barrier available but nami's |
| 10434s | already been taken down by the rail gun |
| 10435s | C straight to the back and straight to |
| 10437s | the fence for n has to get rid of the |
| 10439s | Zen here gives up so much of the HP in |
| 10441s | order to do so lwi goes for the blade |
| 10443s | here takes a hit from the Ry but he able |
| 10444s | to dash on through that's two make it |
| 10446s | three for lwig and what a save here for |
| 10449s | Brazil as Australia are brought to a |
| 10452s | halt all right so Brazil's sh some signs |
| 10455s | of life here towards the end of this map |
| 10457s | I mean point I giving up their defense |
| 10460s | on point a Was A and B you know quite |
| 10463s | frankly we're just not very good but you |
| 10465s | know a four plus minute hold here at the |
| 10468s | end and now you're cooking here if |
| 10470s | you're Brazil I mean you got a real |
| 10472s | opportunity to take this to a third map |
| 10475s | a deflect there from lwig after pulling |
| 10476s | out the blade is probably the last thing |
| 10478s | you want to do when you're going for a |
| 10480s | dragon blade but he realizes that cuffer |
| 10482s | is all over him couple Hammer swings and |
| 10484s | that blade never gets to do any work so |
| 10486s | he deflex spends some time uh you know |
| 10488s | of that duration just avoiding damage |
| 10490s | and then sees a swift strike opportunity |
| 10493s | that's big I mean Kaa really pushed very |
| 10495s | deep to try and get that Zenyatta kill |
| 10497s | and eventually punish for it ready yeah |
| 10500s | I mean you know lwig had a really good |
| 10502s | map number one uh you know even in the |
| 10504s | the the Brazil loss right on echko now |
| 10508s | know following that up with another |
| 10509s | strong map here on Genji uh I actually |
| 10514s | think this is going to you know the if |
| 10516s | you run the same composition here on |
| 10518s | offense for Brazil I actually think it's |
| 10520s | going to work out a little bit better |
| 10521s | for them because I actually thought |
| 10522s | their comp would have worked out fine if |
| 10524s | they actually took some fights here |
| 10525s | early on like if you took a fight at the |
| 10527s | corner right like this Sigma can survive |
| 10530s | a lot of this damage that the bastion's |
| 10531s | putting down they just never actually |
| 10533s | fought early on where uh now obviously |
| 10536s | on the offensive side of things being |
| 10537s | forced to fight I feel like they'll see |
| 10539s | good results yeah one thing's for sure |
| 10541s | Australia cannot afford to give Brazil |
| 10543s | nearly as much r room as Brazil offered |
| 10546s | them they have to get value here out of |
| 10548s | this basting they have to play this |
| 10549s | corner and God forbid they let N line |
| 10551s | them up at long range with volley after |
| 10553s | volley of those |
| 10555s | orbs see Australia trying to figure out |
| 10557s | which way to attack this looks like they |
| 10559s | were going to kind of show that they |
| 10560s | were going to wrap around and then oh |
| 10562s | looks like uh yeah looks like they |
| 10564s | actually end up finding dut there is uh |
| 10567s | no you talked about it right you're |
| 10568s | going to have to rotate those cool Downs |
| 10570s | pretty well between your shield and your |
| 10572s | kinetic grasp and whatnot uh looked like |
| 10575s | even he got stunned for a second maybe |
| 10577s | he actually was just kind of using the |
| 10578s | grasp and then just got pinned there |
| 10581s | this is very dangerous Sano starting to |
| 10584s | pop up a little bit there and CER is too |
| 10585s | low the immortality Fi not an option |
| 10588s | here Australia push deep they win that |
| 10590s | fight you know they've got to go |
| 10591s | aggressive they got to take the fight to |
| 10592s | Dela but as the dust settles they're out |
| 10595s | of position and then n gets picked off |
| 10597s | again I mean n has definitely struggle |
| 10598s | with a lot of this like longrange hit |
| 10600s | scan pressure getting picked off around |
| 10602s | cuffer |
| 10603s | Shield yeah yeah and I think if if |
| 10606s | Brazil like played aggressive on defense |
| 10608s | I think you would have saw the same type |
| 10609s | of results right you know Australia put |
| 10611s | some pressure on ad DOA but to get that |
| 10613s | kill they come out everybody very low |
| 10616s | and not end up enough HP to survive you |
| 10619s | know spenko and lwig running through |
| 10621s | them on the back end and picks up here |
| 10623s | for a he might be an aggressive one and |
| 10624s | so it is it's thrown down instantly but |
| 10626s | lwig sees an opportunity and he States |
| 10628s | the kill vano now with that overclock |
| 10631s | army falling to that one here and Brazil |
| 10633s | look very very well drilled on this map |
| 10635s | Matthew they are blazing through circuit |
| 10638s | Royal and even though Australia trying |
| 10639s | to close the gap trying to take the |
| 10641s | fights the |
| 10643s | backfiring well they have to right you |
| 10645s | you can't just know play this Reinhardt |
| 10648s | Sim and play at a distance right you |
| 10651s | have to be the team that's aggressive |
| 10652s | getting in the mix taking these fights |
| 10654s | constantly uh but now they're going to |
| 10656s | be walking into you know a Transcendence |
| 10659s | right to keep everybody alive if need be |
| 10661s | you do have the the amp Matrix so Brazil |
| 10664s | with a lot of good ultimates and look at |
| 10665s | this XEL trying to play in The High |
| 10666s | Ground here maybe trying set upen yeah |
| 10669s | very quickly sets up that matrixo |
| 10672s | looking to make use of it early but had |
| 10673s | to build some rail gun charge first but |
| 10676s | gives away the game to Australia they |
| 10677s | know is time to back away and give up |
| 10679s | this space they'll surge forward and |
| 10680s | retake it in just a moment as spenco |
| 10682s | knows it he's going to slide his way out |
| 10683s | fire strike came through a fully charged |
| 10685s | rail but no good opportunity to make use |
| 10687s | of it there's the trans coming out and |
| 10689s | still xell is failed wants to try and |
| 10692s | Chase CA down but the sound now means |
| 10693s | that these are be tough NS to crack and |
| 10696s | L weer one HP will have to fade away |
| 10698s | from this fight as nander deals with d |
| 10701s | yeah I mean I I loved how Brazil ended |
| 10703s | up backing out there for you know just a |
| 10705s | a bit period of time but that sound |
| 10707s | barrier was huge able to keep Australia |
| 10710s | alive through that uh dragon blade that |
| 10713s | comes on through right know lwig looked |
| 10715s | like you would have been able to at |
| 10716s | least find cff probably some more but |
| 10718s | and had to had to use that big sound bar |
| 10720s | to keep everybody tapped up now |
| 10722s | Australia have the |
| 10724s | privilege of playing from this high |
| 10726s | ground and must get valy from his a matx |
| 10728s | here but nand had already found perches |
| 10729s | na somehow falling had to have been from |
| 10732s | right clicks will be digress here as now |
| 10734s | the pressure turns towards feno's |
| 10735s | Direction and his slippery slide away |
| 10737s | only took him closer to the belly of the |
| 10739s | beast in the hardest part here for |
| 10741s | Brazil will be trying to push up towards |
| 10743s | this High Ground through all this damage |
| 10746s | that potentially could come down cuz |
| 10747s | they don't have a a speed boost right uh |
| 10750s | very slow comp even getting the Zenyatta |
| 10753s | into Position will will be difficult |
| 10755s | right it's going to have lwi maybe |
| 10757s | moving this card around but look at this |
| 10758s | I mean you're going to be able to just |
| 10759s | get TP right down get right in that |
| 10761s | Zen's face I cannot believe what I just |
| 10763s | saw there very quickly TP in throw the |
| 10765s | shadow then get back out and Brazil |
| 10768s | completely shattered bys off of this cuz |
| 10771s | I mean that was the blocks there towards |
| 10773s | the end |
| 10774s | which you know I don't even think do got |
| 10777s | it off yeah pretty well play I this is |
| 10781s | really smart though by |
| 10783s | Australia realize that they have to play |
| 10785s | a Zen with this type of comp and that's |
| 10787s | what they want to do uh it's almost |
| 10789s | impossible to get the Zen out of this |
| 10790s | position look what the this is just a |
| 10793s | very close Sim wall here just basally |
| 10796s | locking them back in the spawn H Team |
| 10798s | Australia really trying to play to this |
| 10799s | strength see this team thrown out but |
| 10801s | they actually take two kills before it |
| 10803s | even goes up two very important players |
| 10805s | taken down D yes will be a little bit |
| 10807s | slower than the rest of team Brazil but |
| 10810s | they're going to get there I tell you |
| 10811s | what real real hearty Vibes uh from that |
| 10814s | TP shatter play here team is doing a |
| 10817s | great rendition of what we saw from |
| 10820s | London they just want to close distance |
| 10822s | and take fights right uh weers is in TP |
| 10825s | in force them to split and then take the |
| 10828s | fight right |
| 10830s | so playing a little bit slower now you |
| 10832s | do have double support Al here for |
| 10835s | Australia and just a minute 30 on the |
| 10837s | clock so not a ton of time blade is a |
| 10839s | problem lwig can throw the one out here |
| 10841s | quick air Matrix though oh my goodness |
| 10843s | lwig catches the wrong side of that |
| 10844s | tactical grenade well that option's off |
| 10847s | the table right now for team Brazil it |
| 10848s | looks like they'll elect to |
| 10850s | regroup I mean what what other so the |
| 10853s | the hard part is right oh no yeah I mean |
| 10856s | you're going to lose some players here |
| 10857s | on the exit uh you have to regroup but |
| 10860s | now you're back at like square one right |
| 10863s | where uh how do you how do you get out |
| 10867s | of your spawn right because they're |
| 10869s | going to now realize hey the Zen doesn't |
| 10871s | have that position they don't have |
| 10872s | everybody pushed up let's play close to |
| 10873s | the door |
| 10876s | well Brazil now resigned to the fact |
| 10879s | that they're going to have to fight for |
| 10880s | every inch they get L Falls the blade |
| 10881s | this time he's going to go for it but |
| 10882s | the sound barrier was well timed by |
| 10884s | birdog C is looking durable with a |
| 10886s | shadow to boot if anyone comes close |
| 10887s | enough he'll bring that hammer down |
| 10889s | Australia extracting their team from the |
| 10892s | front of Brazil's spawn here with a TP |
| 10894s | to get some to safety but birdog might |
| 10895s | have some problems he's hit with the |
| 10896s | Discord orb right now and he somehow |
| 10898s | able to slip |
| 10900s | away but I mean dude Brazil forced to |
| 10903s | end up using Transcendent and their |
| 10905s | blade and ant Matrix just to get out of |
| 10907s | Spawn just for Australia to TP away and |
| 10910s | then just team WIP them I mean that is |
| 10912s | just really tough to play against as uh |
| 10915s | now we see the Lucio come in for Brazil |
| 10918s | and if you were a f if you were a fan of |
| 10919s | the London bit fire in 2023 this might |
| 10922s | be your team I'm not going to lie |
| 10923s | another TP shatter here from Australia I |
| 10926s | think XL was caught by it and then got |
| 10928s | hit with a Mt strike D Rel is able to |
| 10930s | find Nami there that's not really going |
| 10932s | to be enough there needs to be more lwig |
| 10934s | not going to be able to get involved in |
| 10935s | that fight nearly enough and Brazil must |
| 10938s | look on with dismay as the card goes |
| 10940s | begging team Australia lock it up yeah I |
| 10943s | mean Australia obviously looks really |
| 10946s | strong here uh on circuit I thought |
| 10948s | tremendous stuff with that ryanh Hart |
| 10950s | realizing the no speed on the other side |
| 10952s | close the gap play up at the spawn door |
| 10955s | no opportunity for Brazil to I know get |
| 10957s | out but Brazil put up a really good |
| 10959s | fight though I mean a really close map |
| 10961s | number one uh know uh and and even |
| 10964s | number two uh being able to hold on |
| 10966s | defense for like 4 minutes right at the |
| 10967s | end uh quite massive I think it's just |
| 10970s | for Brazil you got to like go back and |
| 10972s | reassess some of those comps and figure |
| 10974s | out if you maybe need to make a few |
| 10976s | slight adjustments again this group is |
| 10979s | absolutely brutal Great Britain Canada |
| 10981s | Australia Brazil they lumped three |
| 10984s | commonwealth countries in there all |
| 10985s | right fair enough but again are showing |
| 10988s | like this is really important it's you |
| 10989s | not only are you here to get a win but |
| 10991s | you're here to announce your entrance to |
| 10993s | make a strong showing to put yourself on |
| 10995s | the map and I think team Australia have |
| 10997s | definitely done that that last map of |
| 10999s | course was a pick from team Brazil they |
| 11000s | wanted to play the sigma composition but |
| 11003s | at the end of it Nami ends with 23 final |
| 11006s | blows and 10 deaths out of a total of |
| 11010s | 46 that is absolutely insane and a lot |
| 11014s | of value gained by the Bastian play yeah |
| 11016s | I mean look the the the Bastion |
| 11018s | obviously putting out you know high |
| 11020s | amounts of damage uh and and I like |
| 11022s | Brazil's no decision to play the sigma |
| 11025s | into it I think Sigma is the choice |
| 11027s | there uh it's just without that speed to |
| 11029s | be able to kind of Dodge that Reinhard |
| 11031s | right CUA Gets In the Mix starts |
| 11032s | swinging uh there's nothing they can |
| 11034s | really do at that point yeah look great |
| 11036s | showing for this team Australia Squad I |
| 11039s | think though there's a lot of potential |
| 11041s | uh for for upsets here in this |
| 11042s | particular group I mean I'm very excited |
| 11045s | to see how these two teams Advance a |
| 11046s | little bit further we're going to be |
| 11047s | back after quick break I'll see you on |
| 11048s | the other side of it cheers everyone get |

| 11116s | such thing like which Swiss swiss cheese |
| 11118s | what are you talking about anyway |
| 11120s | there's more than one Swiss |
| 11122s | cheese D what oh wow you know what let's |
| 11127s | move on let's talk about too much before |
| 11129s | I get angry U there's a lot to discuss |
| 11132s | obviously Brazil showed up they made a |
| 11134s | really really good case for themselves a |
| 11135s | good showing even though they fell I |
| 11137s | think they played it a lot closer but |
| 11139s | before we look at the big p picture here |
| 11141s | I do want to uh single out a Singler |
| 11143s | player because Johnny you had your eyes |
| 11145s | set on one particular one look I don't |
| 11148s | know how many of these moments I'm going |
| 11149s | to together all right so I got to |
| 11150s | highlight Kua while I can of course and |
| 11152s | this is a guy that we've heard plenty |
| 11154s | about you know it's been kind of like on |
| 11156s | the brink of like tier one and tier two |
| 11158s | uh you know trying to buy for those tier |
| 11160s | one spots when available um but you look |
| 11162s | I got I got to I got to Showcase my man |
| 11165s | when I get the chance to right okay |
| 11166s | pulling out the Reinhardt going |
| 11168s | aggressive going for the TP shatters the |
| 11170s | charges I just love these kind of |
| 11171s | charges just like hey I'm just going to |
| 11173s | jump off the charge going deep into the |
| 11176s | backline this is the kind of Reinhard |
| 11178s | gameplay that I love to see so thank you |
| 11179s | Kaa for bringing out the aggressive |
| 11180s | Reinhard look at this stuff gorgeous |
| 11184s | gorgeous so thank you ke it was a blast |
| 11186s | it was blast watch this match we I think |
| 11189s | I think all of the death we all just |
| 11190s | love good rhyme play oh yeah we we are |
| 11193s | here for it so we hope to see much more |
| 11196s | of that but generally there were a lot |
| 11197s | of great highlights uh in this game I |
| 11199s | feel from both side Brazil again they |
| 11202s | played it a lot closer than I think most |
| 11205s | people would have expected maybe really |
| 11207s | taking Australia by surprise here yeah I |
| 11210s | mean I think Brazil definitely caught us |
| 11213s | off guard like they really played it |
| 11214s | well they played it super close despite |
| 11216s | losing 02 to Australia I think for me it |
| 11219s | was their two DPS players the lwig and |
| 11222s | spenko really were very impressive but |
| 11225s | at the end of the day it wasn't enough |
| 11227s | to beat down team Australia uh we talked |
| 11230s | about kafa but I think Nami was also |
| 11232s | fantastic in this series as well and |
| 11234s | they just played the the r Rush very to |
| 11238s | a very high level it was really just it |
| 11240s | was a joy to see for me to see the Ry |
| 11243s | Rush played by team Australia I I love |
| 11245s | that Australia switched it up you know |
| 11247s | both teams starting obviously with that |
| 11249s | dive and while that was very very |
| 11251s | closely played uh Australia made changes |
| 11253s | they came in with that basan Rin comp |
| 11255s | and that really worked out for them here |
| 11257s | Johnny yeah I mean like I've said I |
| 11259s | think this is going to be the kind of |
| 11260s | composition you want to play if you want |
| 11262s | to win the World Cup and so being able |
| 11264s | to play that Bastion whether it's |
| 11266s | Reinhardt or Sigma composition is going |
| 11268s | to be a big addition to your team to |
| 11270s | your success right so looking good for |
| 11272s | Australia but it's again it's this is |
| 11274s | the toughest group you got Great Britain |
| 11275s | and Canada in there so yeah you get the |
| 11277s | two win against Brazil can you repeat |
| 11279s | that against some of the other teams in |
| 11280s | the group yeah and right now Canada and |
| 11283s | Brazil is finding themselves or are |
| 11285s | finding themselves at the bottom of the |
| 11286s | group we'll see much more of all of |
| 11288s | those teams of course as we are playing |
| 11290s | in a round robin format next up we will |
| 11293s | be heading over to Group D and get our |
| 11295s | first look at Japan and friends all of |
| 11298s | that after a break so stick |

| 11504s | three matches done and three more to go |
| 11507s | starting but Japan and France welcome |
| 11510s | back everyone it is I Zoe joined by |
| 11513s | Danny and Johnny and we are here to set |
| 11516s | you up for all the action I'm very |
| 11518s | excited for this next one feels a little |
| 11520s | bit like choosing your favorite child |
| 11522s | which is as we all know impossible as a |
| 11525s | absolute resident weep I have to reach |
| 11527s | for Japan but also we but also the |
| 11532s | French Are My People so I can't go |
| 11534s | against them um how are you we what |
| 11536s | what's your what's your most weeb trait |
| 11537s | Zoe oh have you seen a comic book |
| 11540s | collection John manga collection she is |
| 11542s | she is I'm currently in possession as of |
| 11544s | my last count of over 800 comic books |
| 11547s | and majority of that are manga so if |
| 11549s | you're if you didn't PR Japan I'm going |
| 11552s | to be so disappoint that we get to that |
| 11554s | we get to that I do want to talk about |
| 11556s | both teams starting lineups of course |
| 11558s | we're starting here at France a lot of |
| 11560s | veteran players a lot of faces we know |
| 11563s | and love and France has been very |
| 11566s | successful in previous OverWatch World |
| 11568s | Cups yeah that and like you said filled |
| 11570s | with veteran players they have a lot of |
| 11572s | experience in Pro scene and in the |
| 11574s | OverWatch World Cup as well and as we |
| 11576s | seeing right now we're seeing Poco in |
| 11578s | the lineup so they're probably going to |
| 11579s | run with something with a off like off |
| 11583s | tank sort of composition right he is |
| 11584s | sort of known for his Diva play uh for a |
| 11587s | very long time and not only that you |
| 11589s | know they also have uh Ben best who's a |
| 11592s | great main tank as well so I think |
| 11594s | France has a lot of Versatility as well |
| 11597s | along with the experience uh with over |
| 11600s | the years as well absolutely yeah in the |
| 11603s | most recent ore World Cup they placed |
| 11605s | fourth so obviously they're coming into |
| 11607s | this eager with at least at top three |
| 11610s | they're bringing the whole party with 11 |
| 11612s | people on their comedy and they're going |
| 11614s | up against team Japan Johnny I mean they |
| 11618s | have to come in with Synergy they know |
| 11620s | each other yeah I mean the these players |
| 11622s | all play play together uh on a team |
| 11624s | called varel in the Asia Pacific region |
| 11626s | uh and they did win an event uh just |
| 11628s | like this month so uh of course they |
| 11631s | have tons of experience working together |
| 11633s | but also like they have been playing at |
| 11634s | a pretty high level very recently right |
| 11636s | so a bit of a perfect kind of like |
| 11637s | Underdog Story here is team Japan going |
| 11640s | into this series right here so I know |
| 11642s | that everyone's going to look at France |
| 11643s | as historically one of the better |
| 11645s | countries when it comes to World Cup |
| 11647s | performances but I don't sleep with |
| 11649s | Japan I look I can't I can't really |
| 11652s | classif myself as a weeb soy but I'm on |
| 11655s | your side I'm on your side I I do think |
| 11657s | that team Japan is going to be very |
| 11659s | exciting to watch so um keep your eyes |
| 11661s | out that's right but we want them to we |
| 11663s | want them to if anything go check out |
| 11666s | their profile pictures on liquipedia |
| 11668s | like if if if one team showed up with |
| 11670s | some Riz in those profile pictures it's |
| 11672s | team Japan you like those |
| 11674s | yeah they're like they're Rock the poses |
| 11677s | like proper gamer poses they they they |
| 11679s | covered them all and I'm here for this |
| 11681s | I'm very excited uh it's one of those |
| 11683s | things where obviously there is just too |
| 11684s | many people on the server to root for |
| 11687s | and that makes predictions especially |
| 11688s | hard either way one of the teams will |
| 11690s | win and I'll be happy for them uh let's |
| 11693s | look at our |
| 11694s | predictions yes my heart wanted to go |
| 11696s | with Japan but no man the French fake |
| 11699s | wave I cannot root against them you Pi |
| 11702s | the favorite Child yeah I I did I did |
| 11705s | because Switzerland didn't make it and |
| 11707s | this is the closest I get to home so go |
| 11708s | France A's today and always what about |
| 11712s | you Danny |
| 11713s | uh I mean Japan has Synergy but talking |
| 11716s | about Synergy I think France has also |
| 11717s | Synergy experience they got versatility |
| 11720s | as well I think France has the upper |
| 11722s | hand for this match up against |
| 11725s | Japan yeah uh I mean as much as I said |
| 11728s | that uh team team Japan won an event |
| 11731s | this month uh they got second place uh |
| 11733s | my bad on that one uh this remembered um |
| 11735s | thir third Johnny I went France too I I |
| 11739s | really do want to go with Japan but hey |
| 11742s | you're not you're nevero |

| 11747s | swap there's no like prediction Le do |
| 11750s | that production can I swap over to Japan |
| 11752s | this late in in in the day yeah I'll |
| 11754s | swap over to Japan I'll swap over to |
| 11756s | Japan I promise I won't I won't make a |
| 11759s | habit of swapping my prediction after we |
| 11761s | submitt them'll never do but this time I |
| 11763s | I just I I I got to go with Team Japan I |
| 11765s | got to go I'm excited to watch everyone |

| 11781s | wait to get a first look at both of |
| 11783s | those teams and to see how uh how they |
| 11787s | shaping up in this year's OverWatch |
| 11789s | World Cup and as they are getting the |
| 11791s | lay of the land here right on your |

| 11980s | welcome back everybody to our fourth |
| 11981s | match of the the date here as we are |
| 11983s | starting to get serious at our 2023 |
| 11986s | OverWatch World Cup we're looking at two |
| 11988s | teams that have achieved their own |
| 11990s | distinct levels of Fame globally over |
| 11992s | the years of the OverWatch World Cup I |
| 11995s | mean France they've always been a |
| 11996s | fixture always in the top echelons of |
| 11998s | teams last time we saw them was in 2019 |
| 12001s | they made fourth at that event because |
| 12003s | they had The Misfortune of running up |
| 12005s | against team South Korea a tough game |
| 12008s | for them to be sure but team Japan's |
| 12010s | been involved in uh some of the most |
| 12012s | incredible games I think we've seen |
| 12013s | through our preliminaries and qualifiers |
| 12016s | I think it was 2017 in Sydney that |
| 12018s | incredible FIV map game against team |
| 12021s | Australia uh everyone was going wild for |
| 12023s | it a lot of players really made their |
| 12025s | names in that game including Taio for |
| 12027s | example so this is always an exciting |
| 12029s | team and I'm really looking forward to |
| 12030s | see what this Region's been cooking up |
| 12032s | yeah I I would say like uh you know Team |
| 12035s | France right uh has a lot of players |
| 12036s | that we are you know familiar with that |
| 12038s | we've seen at previous OverWatch World |
| 12040s | Cups over the years s will be map number |
| 12042s | one uh Japan is a a team made up of |
| 12045s | everybody who this is their first |
| 12047s | OverWatch World Cup uh but it is a you |
| 12049s | know region that has been growing in |
| 12051s | terms of OverWatch right and OverWatch |
| 12053s | Esports right a lot of just players want |
| 12055s | to get involved so uh excited to see uh |
| 12058s | you know you see even you know Japan |
| 12060s | another firstperson Shooters right |
| 12061s | really you know popping up and ascending |
| 12062s | in terms of the ranks and overall teams |
| 12064s | in Esports so excited to see what they |
| 12066s | have here for Team France any for team |
| 12068s | Japan we've seen this in the past even I |
| 12070s | did this as a Committee Member sending a |
| 12072s | full roster they were discussed of |
| 12074s | course already a lot of those second |
| 12076s | third place finishes in contenders so |
| 12077s | this is a well old machined team that's |
| 12079s | really familiar at working together we |
| 12082s | see The Return of course of a couple of |
| 12083s | players on the French roster it's Ben |
| 12085s | best second OverWatch World Cup pocos of |
| 12087s | course FD God and Nico also returning so |
| 12091s | I mean and this this France team by the |
| 12092s | way has uh enough assistant coaches to |
| 12095s | make a whole other team maybe two more |
| 12097s | teams here so a lot of resources |
| 12099s | domestically put into ensuring this |
| 12100s | roster's success |
| 12102s | France has six assistant coaches and one |
| 12105s | head coach okay that is you're bringing |
| 12109s | a lot of Mines together kind of craft it |
| 12111s | up your coach to player ratio is is |
| 12113s | Bonkers so I'd be feeling pretty good |
| 12114s | about that one here it be sigas for both |
| 12116s | sides to set things up here of course a |
| 12118s | bit of the specialty of pocco as we've |
| 12120s | seen that his prowess has been displayed |
| 12123s | over the years moik always on the May |
| 12126s | somehow uh more known I think as uh you |
| 12129s | know like a projectile player far Genji |
| 12131s | were huge picks for Nico uh back in the |
| 12134s | day so to speak but here France already |
| 12136s | take a very strong position on point oh |
| 12139s | I'm curious of the the Bastion with the |
| 12142s | echo setup right uh the Bastion can put |
| 12144s | down tons of damage and then just you |
| 12146s | know have the echo finish off some of |
| 12147s | these kills but uh it looks like they |
| 12149s | lose KSG early on on the point drops |
| 12152s | down to try and contest May Wall comes |
| 12154s | on through and uh we know everything |
| 12156s | that else that happens after that right |
| 12158s | just tons of damage but it doesn't |
| 12160s | matter Japan cleans it up yeah I mean |
| 12162s | they play from this high ground right I |
| 12163s | know France they they're aware of this |
| 12165s | right France want to move in make use of |
| 12167s | the sigma by themselves a lot of time |
| 12168s | but nlock gets pressured really heavily |
| 12170s | by Ki there at the start of the fight |
| 12173s | and there it's pretty tough then to keep |
| 12175s | the rest of your team Hal and Hardy |
| 12176s | where a Bastion is raining down from |
| 12178s | that High Ground Japan now also opt to |
| 12181s | reassume that same High Ground position |
| 12183s | let France push in and the Frenchman had |
| 12185s | better figure this out yeah it's like a |
| 12187s | you have the brg to kind of play with |
| 12189s | the sigma like on the on the low ground |
| 12191s | if you want is we see from FD God's POV |
| 12194s | he's going to get right up to The High |
| 12195s | Ground try and know remove some of those |
| 12197s | players from that but uh you also then |
| 12199s | like have this like Echo it's a really |
| 12201s | interesting comp as NCO gets quite low |
| 12203s | it's going to be duper yeah kuki going |
| 12206s | to be duping the sigma that is pretty |
| 12208s | frightening a lot more durability now |
| 12210s | added to the mix and of course the |
| 12211s | gratic flux threat is always present |
| 12213s | again Easy Come Easy Go not able to find |
| 12215s | a connection because there was no one |
| 12217s | else to stand in it team Japan again |
| 12219s | continue to extend their lead it's still |
| 12222s | you see that burst damage of the echo |
| 12224s | start to come in really you know need |
| 12226s | going to take some shots from that |
| 12227s | Bastion then the burst damage the |
| 12229s | focusing beam from that Echo comes like |
| 12231s | swooping on in like so difficult for |
| 12234s | France to react they really got to dump |
| 12236s | everything into that is comps been |
| 12238s | proven to you know really give them |
| 12240s | trouble so far yeah again I mean it's |
| 12242s | been an issue in Japan have just sort of |
| 12244s | gone up to that High Ground France now |
| 12246s | need to make good use of it themselves |
| 12247s | but okay they're going to use the wall |
| 12249s | here from Nico to split Japan up for the |
| 12250s | time being but they're going to come |
| 12251s | back in with a rally a gets taken down |
| 12253s | pretty much straight away clouds and |
| 12254s | mortality field does its work but the is |
| 12257s | a scary Prospect from both |
| 12259s | sides going to try and work his way |
| 12261s | through the back as NCO staved off by |
| 12263s | Min here France able to move in numbers |
| 12265s | for the time being a gravitic flux from |
| 12267s | Poco will ensure that KSG goes ultra low |
| 12270s | and even a kinetic grass W be enough to |
| 12271s | save him but elsewhere Ki found FD God |
| 12274s | and already two eliminations from Team |
| 12276s | Japan now Min hunting for the rest of |
| 12278s | France who again have been a would have |
| 12280s | had to concede the point run yeah I mean |
| 12282s | you have and mint here able to just live |
| 12285s | all through this right that rally comes |
| 12287s | through it's huge there for Japan as |
| 12289s | they're on the cusp for taking this |
| 12291s | first point 99 to13 here not a great |
| 12293s | start for France and FD God almost goes |
| 12295s | low there just the Poke damage from Q |
| 12297s | put in the fear of God in them here |
| 12298s | comes kst that's going to be a huge |
| 12300s | gravitic flux it has to be an instant |
| 12301s | ice block used there by Nico and a lot |
| 12303s | of pressure on nlock has to use an |
| 12305s | immortality field to help him and his |
| 12306s | teammate survive after the fact but KSG |
| 12308s | will hold on for long enough to secure |
| 12311s | the kill an FD God n though still stands |
| 12313s | there's still a chance here for France |
| 12315s | yes that's a scary Prospect facing the |
| 12317s | other n down on this basting but again |
| 12319s | the sigma Shield buys him a lot of space |
| 12320s | an attempt to try and section clown off |
| 12323s | from the rest of their team he will |
| 12324s | eventually be brought down and finally |
| 12326s | France might get a decent foot hold and |
| 12329s | I think you know Japan is going to have |
| 12331s | to figure out a way to keep KSG alive |
| 12333s | with these you know may walls coming in |
| 12335s | and whatnot from Nico because keeps |
| 12338s | getting caught out on the opposite side |
| 12340s | of there trying to kinetic grasp walk |
| 12341s | away way Shield there's just too much |
| 12344s | damage they got to figure out another |
| 12345s | way to keep him up that looks might have |
| 12348s | been considering setting up a matrix in |
| 12350s | The High Ground but that's a great first |
| 12351s | pick ni for Japan able to find one on |
| 12354s | the French side of things and that's a |
| 12355s | tracer out of the mix that Mobility now |
| 12357s | severely compromised kuki finds himself |
| 12359s | in the backline and a quick pause is |
| 12360s | going to be called here looks like |
| 12362s | issues with some audio on the side of |
| 12366s | Team |
| 12367s | France yes uh once we get back into it I |
| 12370s | mean that that is going to be a fight |
| 12371s | that is going to be chaotic because you |
| 12374s | have uh the duplicated May coming from |
| 12377s | like the backs side of the point it |
| 12379s | looks like was like putting down damage |
| 12381s | on uh Nico as he was trying to get back |
| 12383s | on a contest maybe they help out Poco as |
| 12385s | he was in some trouble taking damage |
| 12387s | from the opposite side so uh I expect |
| 12390s | once we get back into this you are going |
| 12391s | to have a a fast fight we've already |
| 12394s | lost the tri supplier on Team France |
| 12397s | that's probably the biggest issue here I |
| 12399s | duped may as well if there's any risk of |
| 12401s | a blizzard coming out team Japan are |
| 12403s | very well positioned here now I want to |
| 12405s | make something very clear there is |
| 12407s | always extremely extremely high |
| 12410s | expectations on the team France roster |
| 12412s | they have a whole nation behind them who |
| 12414s | are extremely passionate we saw this |
| 12416s | firsthand when we traveled out to Paris |
| 12418s | for a World Cup qualifying stage that |
| 12421s | fan base brings the Thunder and right |
| 12422s | now they're going to need to give their |
| 12424s | team all the energy they can I mean you |
| 12426s | know the few times we've been to you |
| 12428s | know Paris and just France know for |
| 12430s | OverWatch it's been incredible I mean |
| 12432s | just such a passionate like Esports fan |
| 12435s | base is uh just just like I was talking |
| 12437s | about once we get back in the game a |
| 12438s | fast fight that goes in favor of Japan |
| 12442s | yeah again that first pick is absolutely |
| 12443s | massive here kuki now wants to chase FD |
| 12445s | God has to use the solo sound barrier to |
| 12447s | try and keep it going and instantly gets |
| 12450s | burnt that Bastian pressure is too much |
| 12452s | even with that overshield F go was not |
| 12455s | long for this world and nor the rest of |
| 12456s | Team France here Japan come out of the |
| 12458s | gates with the Bastion setup they use |
| 12459s | the high ground and they convert |
| 12463s | it's a really nice comp there from Japan |
| 12466s | the the Bastion with that Echo |
| 12468s | combination going up against the May |
| 12470s | right the may want to plays like a |
| 12472s | little bit more like control on the |
| 12473s | ground where uh if you can keep your |
| 12476s | tank alive really kind of through some |
| 12478s | of that damage and you know through the |
| 12480s | the wall that comes through uh you're |
| 12482s | going to be able to know win fights |
| 12484s | pretty convincingly just like that and |
| 12486s | uh it looks like we're going to have |
| 12486s | some comp changes coming in here for |
| 12488s | round number |
| 12489s | two okay so we the know see the moir |
| 12492s | here that would be a little bit |
| 12493s | surprising but from Team Japan again |
| 12495s | much in the same vein as Australia had |
| 12497s | looking to demonstrate a bit more depth |
| 12498s | here uh again the opportunities maybe to |
| 12501s | get your Bastion set up or a little bit |
| 12502s | more limited on this particular stage |
| 12504s | but the doomfist is a good look it's got |
| 12506s | to put a ton of pressure on as we had to |
| 12507s | beach yeah I I think it's just cuz this |
| 12509s | point is like very uh different right |
| 12512s | where it's like lower like it's like you |
| 12514s | know down underneath like this kind of |
| 12518s | uh main play area where yeah having some |
| 12521s | of that |
| 12522s | verticality there with the doomfist can |
| 12524s | help out France don't have a flanker |
| 12526s | here to pressure this solo position that |
| 12528s | ni has been playing with on the side of |
| 12530s | Team Japan so good opportunity for NCO |
| 12532s | to set up in comfortable Sidelines |
| 12533s | providing that AO doesn't pressure him |
| 12535s | down again on the other side of things |
| 12537s | though there is a tracer here for Japan |
| 12539s | and they are doing exactly what we'd |
| 12540s | expect constantly harrying minko |
| 12542s | actually gets caught in like a long |
| 12543s | range disruptor shot there and is going |
| 12545s | to be able to clean up the Tracer as |
| 12546s | well that's both DPS for Japan out of |
| 12548s | the |
| 12549s | picture yeah I love to see that like |
| 12551s | long range disruptor shot cuz like |
| 12554s | that's uh typically not one we see get |
| 12557s | kills at range right like end of Fight |
| 12560s | clean up type of thing you know long |
| 12562s | range crossmap disruptor shots typically |
| 12564s | not not what we see there is uh mint |
| 12567s | will end up playing Kiko uh gives a |
| 12569s | little bit more dive potential right can |
| 12571s | go in with that Doom go in with the |
| 12573s | Tracer yeah the ladder might be even |
| 12575s | more important here as Japan probably |
| 12577s | just want to put as much pressure as |
| 12578s | they can on Ao no here's a longrange |
| 12580s | bade catches is that be God and the |
| 12582s | followup is so good for Japan now plaque |
| 12585s | on the point it's going to be an ice |
| 12586s | block has to be used early and you see |
| 12587s | Poco steps in to try and rescue Nico and |
| 12590s | Ice wall almost gets NCO out of trouble |
| 12592s | but M will pursue and find the kill and |
| 12594s | Poco is all on his own yeah he's in a |
| 12597s | world of trouble I mean that looked like |
| 12598s | a p Spa that was stuck to him it's mint |
| 12601s | finishing it off as really just trying |
| 12603s | to get this the May was able to stay |
| 12605s | alive for a long period of time then FD |
| 12607s | God comes in and keep stalling the point |
| 12609s | out but just like that Japan flid now |
| 12612s | they'll have a nano boost to work with |
| 12613s | so give this on to KSG make him really |
| 12616s | difficult to take |
| 12618s | out in playing an extremity here knowing |
| 12622s | that they can reposition in a pinch if |
| 12624s | needed France obviously pretty slow |
| 12626s | moving want to play fairly close |
| 12628s | together and want good Sidelines there's |
| 12629s | a lot to ask for here KSG there gets a |
| 12631s | defensive biotic grenade crucially |
| 12633s | combined with that Nano but no kills |
| 12635s | have been found finally there it is a |
| 12637s | gets taken down as Japan take the fight |
| 12639s | to Team France and they know exactly how |
| 12641s | to un rvel this poke composition that |
| 12643s | really needs all five players to find |
| 12645s | full effect yes that's some big bio |
| 12648s | grenades coming down here as well as |
| 12650s | Poco gets anti they Tred and use a May |
| 12652s | wall to save him you got a Widowmaker |
| 12654s | switch here just to maybe try and find |
| 12656s | somebody pushing up towards that spawn |
| 12657s | door but and now it is back to the |
| 12659s | Bastion so uh Doom can obviously get |
| 12662s | into the back line he becomes very tanky |
| 12665s | right uh you know with his block and |
| 12666s | then starts building up shields uh now |
| 12669s | against this Bastion it's going to |
| 12672s | you K second gu diving in there a little |
| 12674s | bit though ni now might have a saf |
| 12676s | Seline to post up on here it's going to |
| 12678s | be a little bit harder to put pressure |
| 12679s | him in a long range looks like had to go |
| 12681s | for a recall there and here comes ni |
| 12683s | from the aformentioned Seline but the |
| 12685s | sound B is going to make it a little bit |
| 12686s | hard to cut to the heart of the matter |
| 12689s | sees PO on the pointy but great Chase |
| 12691s | there ni spots the other Nico dropped to |
| 12694s | the low ground instantly chases him down |
| 12695s | with the May and of course FD go was |
| 12697s | right there with him three plays with a |
| 12698s | B grenade here K2 is able to leverage |
| 12700s | that into a kill but just the one here |
| 12702s | going too low without cloud in a |
| 12704s | position to keep him standing yeah and |
| 12706s | the issue is right you know KSG uses |
| 12709s | like let's say seism slam gets in right |
| 12711s | rocket punch whatnot uh when he goes to |
| 12714s | power block when that bastions his way |
| 12715s | you have that Sigma Rock right uh if |
| 12719s | Poco land at Rock I mean he should be |
| 12722s | dead in theory right know you should be |
| 12723s | able to get that kill on KSG he's going |
| 12725s | to have to use all the cool Downs if |
| 12727s | they're back up to get out so uh makes |
| 12729s | it very difficult to play this |
| 12733s | we go France in control right now poker |
| 12735s | hit with a bon but unperturbed still |
| 12736s | wants to go for a gravitic flux strike |
| 12739s | for KSG was there oh well done get rid |
| 12742s | of that immortality field just before |
| 12743s | the pulse bom blows up and where does FD |
| 12746s | God go from here straight spawn do not |
| 12748s | pass go do not collect $200 and team |
| 12750s | Japan are back in control here they once |
| 12753s | more they pull up that threat and |
| 12755s | unravel France's little Christmas |
| 12757s | sweater in the amount of times we see |
| 12759s | people stick a PO SP and that you know |
| 12761s | immortality field just ends up saving |
| 12763s | somebody being able to connect up H |
| 12764s | spawn then just destroy the immortality |
| 12766s | field right away as France making some |
| 12768s | last minut changes just to get back ZB |
| 12770s | Tracy here from Japan it might be |
| 12771s | another attempt to mitigate the |
| 12773s | effectiveness of the Bastion here ni not |
| 12776s | able to get a hack on the other n that |
| 12777s | would have been curtains for the God |
| 12778s | Hand himself he still eventually gets |
| 12781s | brought down anyway Ki doesn't let him |
| 12782s | head back upstairs but it looks like a |
| 12784s | couple players from Japan wandered into |
| 12786s | the sight lines of AO and that's two |
| 12788s | comfortable kills the duo of mint and |
| 12790s | KSG for all under high bullets and |
| 12792s | France will get it back this one is |
| 12793s | going all the way yes you're probably |
| 12796s | going to have one more fight here to |
| 12798s | decide this where mint will now switch |
| 12800s | over to the brig so going to be playing |
| 12803s | the brg you're still going to have this |
| 12804s | Sombra in the mix which we haven't seen |
| 12806s | really that much obviously the rework |
| 12808s | just comes through |
| 12811s | soing yeah able to live though obiously |
| 12815s | not the fastest moving hero little bit |
| 12818s | of a scary moment to try and avoid that |
| 12819s | Mort strike here Poco Fain going down to |
| 12822s | the low ground here with the sound barer |
| 12823s | gives him enough durability to be |
| 12824s | wherever he needs to be Poco is back |
| 12827s | make no mistake now on the D another of |
| 12829s | his very celebrated picks and it's that |
| 12832s | and the rest of Team France digging |
| 12833s | their heels in that will give them the |
| 12835s | win here on Beach and we're headed all |
| 12836s | the way it's really just having that |
| 12839s | sound barrier there towards the end |
| 12841s | right if you if you don't have that |
| 12842s | sound barrier I mean to allow you to |
| 12844s | just kind of like push on through right |
| 12846s | I mean Poco and a few other players who |
| 12847s | with a biotic grenade there towards the |
| 12849s | end uh didn't really impct it that much |
| 12852s | as you have that extra durability with |
| 12854s | that Lucio Al to go on |
| 12856s | in the round three will be volcano |
| 12859s | M again I think the last time we got to |
| 12862s | see the only other time we've got to see |
| 12863s | Samo in a competitive set might have |
| 12865s | been the show match if you want to call |
| 12867s | that competitive I guess comp setting oh |
| 12869s | man that's it's a slightly loose |
| 12871s | terminology for it here but so far both |
| 12873s | of these teams respectively have favor |
| 12875s | yeah which one of these tanks you think |
| 12876s | watched uh you know Danny's play in his |
| 12879s | you know taking some taking some tips to |
| 12881s | go into this one uh probably KSG is my |
| 12883s | thinking again Poco being in here and |
| 12885s | not being sort of obviously Ben best is |
| 12887s | another option for Team France they have |
| 12888s | all the tanks covered Poco was |
| 12890s | definitely known more as like a sigma |
| 12892s | and Diva player with a plenty of Z even |
| 12894s | some hog in the mix here so maybe not |
| 12896s | expecting a one of those more static |
| 12898s | tanks from him oh what a great start Ki |
| 12900s | falls to the hyperspheres and now the is |
| 12904s | just going to miss KSG able to re |
| 12906s | position but God has picked off on the |
| 12907s | other side of things so both teams down |
| 12909s | to five four rather |
| 12911s | yeah and I mean that that pick off on |
| 12913s | the K at the beginning is huge right |
| 12914s | because the Tracer really kind of wants |
| 12915s | to go in here with this doom and play |
| 12918s | together finish some kills off as Japan |
| 12921s | will get Point first it looks like a |
| 12922s | rock that's going to connect on the kg |
| 12924s | but it looks like able to live yeah p is |
| 12925s | doing a very good job of tracking cas's |
| 12927s | movements and making sure he can disrupt |
| 12929s | him with those accretions as they become |
| 12930s | available but Japan took the point first |
| 12933s | it's up to France here to make the way |
| 12934s | in I like this Echo swap I think there's |
| 12937s | a lot of like look at like the the |
| 12938s | positions that you can play from here a |
| 12940s | lot of really interesting off angle this |
| 12942s | FL oh that FL is so sick n's caught |
| 12944s | there an ice block and no one turns |
| 12945s | around because to's too busy deal with |
| 12947s | KSG front and sens there were three |
| 12950s | players from Japan that had wrapped |
| 12951s | around the point there and it gives him |
| 12953s | a bit of an extension on capture |
| 12955s | progress but maybe not much more than |
| 12956s | that here kg might El to just okay throw |
| 12959s | himself at the point and die horribly |
| 12960s | that's fine a little bit more percentage |
| 12962s | for |
| 12963s | Japan it's a little bit of a brawl there |
| 12966s | towards the end ends up uh in Francis |
| 12968s | faor you can kind of see like when KS |
| 12971s | goes in there's so many players stacked |
| 12972s | up right know hitting some these big uh |
| 12974s | know punches that are stunning players |
| 12975s | into walls and whatnot wants to just |
| 12977s | kind of keep on going but just the the |
| 12980s | addition of the Baptist right the |
| 12981s | immortality field and just the the group |
| 12983s | healing sometimes too |
| 12986s | much Cloud can Nano the echo here I mean |
| 12989s | this you could easily find a kill that |
| 12991s | one last time we saw KSG get that Nano |
| 12993s | just to give him a little bit more of |
| 12995s | that leeway to play aggressively double |
| 12997s | Bon connection no Cloud making good use |
| 12998s | of that Vantage Point here that's the |
| 12999s | medial strike coming in fi did have to |
| 13001s | be deployed by netlock kuki though finds |
| 13003s | himself in the thick of things and all |
| 13005s | of a sudden is DED Lucio okay well |
| 13007s | building a sound barrier wouldn't hurt |
| 13009s | here but right now survival is the key |
| 13011s | mandate as Japan do flip the point back |
| 13013s | that lack of Mobility from France puts |
| 13015s | them in a position where they struggle |
| 13016s | to respond quickly enough and this is |
| 13018s | serious pressure on nlock ki's not able |
| 13020s | to get out alive though can't even |
| 13021s | deploy those sticky bombs little bit of |
| 13022s | awkward situation to be caught in coming |
| 13024s | out of that duplicate mat but Japan |
| 13026s | still hold for now M wants to extend |
| 13028s | this fight here with the rally and NCO |
| 13029s | found Poco yeah they decide to rally and |
| 13032s | I I don't think that France can fight |
| 13034s | this right you're just walking into the |
| 13036s | rally with that doomfist there the so as |
| 13039s | well as going to have to back up and let |
| 13041s | you know Poco get back in the fight this |
| 13044s | is getting dangerous now France have one |
| 13046s | more Prett sick movement as well from Ki |
| 13048s | with the Lucio right like that's an echo |
| 13052s | player one more fight in this map |
| 13054s | potentially for France are going to open |
| 13055s | up here with the Matrix |
| 13057s | KSG block available not when the war |
| 13060s | came up though so that's why he takes so |
| 13062s | much damage initially there and will be |
| 13064s | brought down France have yet another |
| 13065s | chance to claw this round back and it |
| 13068s | starts here yeah some uh swings and |
| 13071s | misses there from KSG just uh know it's |
| 13074s | a power block then just trying to trying |
| 13076s | to build up some Shields there and |
| 13079s | there's nobody home there when he he's |
| 13081s | going |
| 13082s | in a switch to the |
| 13086s | Tracer maybe the thinking here is that |
| 13088s | more pressure on that Anor or maybe even |
| 13090s | a H bomb deployed in mint's Direction |
| 13093s | could be a game changer Here Comes |
| 13095s | theist once more KSG appears and quickly |
| 13097s | disappears with that meteor strike wants |
| 13099s | to still partake in the fight that was |
| 13100s | going to be forcing an immortality |
| 13102s | filled out so early and F go still |
| 13103s | picked up by the seismic slam n doesn't |
| 13106s | want to hang around here what a pick |
| 13107s | from a though Qi out of the mix means |
| 13109s | it's a four versus four and France are |
| 13111s | in control they've got a safe position |
| 13113s | to play this sojourn from yeah but I |
| 13115s | wonder if Japan knows right they kill |
| 13116s | fdgard and he's so close to sound |
| 13118s | barrier I wonder if there's an |
| 13119s | opportunity to take advantage of this |
| 13120s | Seline paying off here but this is from |
| 13122s | the other direction ni to catcho out |
| 13124s | here KSG wants to pressure Poco down but |
| 13127s | sees that sound now perhaps he consider |
| 13129s | something more of an environmental |
| 13130s | flavor back towards the point here block |
| 13133s | is available going to throw it up just |
| 13134s | in time immortality field came down and |
| 13136s | not before he got rid of FD go with that |
| 13138s | punch that loocks Nico huge amounts of |
| 13140s | pressure going their way at forced a |
| 13142s | recall from the Tracer player and Poco |
| 13144s | has to go for the ktic CR Japan flip the |
| 13146s | fight back it's going to be a |
| 13147s | desperation at Matrix for France but |
| 13149s | it's not enough the play is looking to B |
| 13150s | from it got taken out instantly by Nik |
| 13152s | who finds three and now Japan see France |
| 13156s | in their death throws Nik able to stand |
| 13158s | proudly on the point here is it's just |
| 13160s | the drgs for France coming in and that |
| 13162s | is not going to come remotely close |
| 13163s | enough overtime will tick down and Japan |
| 13166s | take our first M man some sick shots |
| 13169s | there from Nico I think he had the |
| 13171s | benefits of a nano boost as well they |
| 13173s | overclock with the Nano boost and as |
| 13174s | soon as they realize that Poco is low |
| 13177s | they don't even care about the anat they |
| 13178s | push right on through and finish him off |
| 13180s | really impressive stuff from Japan and |
| 13183s | for those that you know maybe weren't |
| 13184s | watching a ton of contenders in the in |
| 13186s | the region that this roster was playing |
| 13187s | in maybe wouldn't be aware of some of |
| 13189s | these individuals but we have stand out |
| 13191s | straight away kuki really impressive |
| 13193s | play there on that DPS rather yeah KSG |
| 13196s | of course on that Doom showing off some |
| 13199s | pretty insane mechanics here this team |
| 13201s | is frightening France have a pedigree of |
| 13203s | having incredible DPS players Nico |
| 13205s | coming back this year here in a very |
| 13207s | competitive field this team is dead |
| 13209s | serious about finding wins and already |
| 13211s | falling 0 to one against Japan here is |
| 13213s | not a good sign Japan no reason to |
| 13216s | respect them here they've been an |
| 13217s | underrated region for quite some time |
| 13219s | but they Here to Make Some Noise no I I |
| 13221s | really like some of these compositions |
| 13223s | they brought I really like this like |
| 13224s | Bastion Echo specifically on this first |
| 13226s | point uh and then even on the you know |
| 13229s | they had an opportunity to win round |
| 13231s | number two uh did Japan it's just uh |
| 13234s | there some really nice swaps from France |
| 13236s | at the end a big sound barrier uh from |
| 13238s | FD God really kind of puts them over the |
| 13240s | line and then you know that third round |
| 13241s | went the distance as well really |
| 13243s | competitive map in general like you |
| 13245s | pointed out here and we got to see I |
| 13247s | guess the comparison of the sigma |
| 13249s | composition and what they're looking to |
| 13251s | do and how the doomfist composition |
| 13252s | looks to execute their own win |
| 13254s | conditions it was a sojourn battle for |
| 13257s | much of this game versus Nico in the |
| 13259s | latter comes out with 18 final blows and |
| 13261s | nine deaths QQ also nothing to sneer at |
| 13264s | 15 and N here the DPS on team Japan look |
| 13267s | absolutely ferocious and even mint gets |
| 13268s | involved with 10 final blows what's |
| 13271s | going to be the pick here for France |
| 13273s | they probably need to find a way to |
| 13275s | invalidate this doomfist composition if |
| 13276s | they can yeah I was going to say it |
| 13278s | seems like at least you know from you |
| 13280s | know look you're going to run like May |
| 13282s | Sigma you want to play at like a slower |
| 13285s | Pace right especially it's a team that's |
| 13286s | running like a doomfist echo like the |
| 13289s | Tracer coms uh potentially a m that you |
| 13291s | can slow this down I think if you want |
| 13293s | to keep Poco in could you play like |
| 13295s | circuit like just like we saw in the |
| 13296s | last series it's a |
| 13298s | possibility France I mean d had a tough |
| 13300s | time in their particular conference here |
| 13302s | they end up at 5 and two but uh there |
| 13304s | are a lot of teams that start serve them |
| 13306s | up some pretty harsh games I think Spain |
| 13308s | and of course Great Britain challenged |
| 13310s | them very heavily here we're waiting on |
| 13312s | the pick in just a moment here and bear |
| 13315s | in mind this may be the first time we've |
| 13316s | seen Samoa played in the competitive |
| 13318s | setting and Japan truly came prepared a |
| 13321s | lot of the Bastion uh you know |
| 13322s | composition around the sigma we saw |
| 13324s | straight out of the gates then the mix |
| 13326s | up into the doomfist that was exciting |
| 13328s | blizzard world will be the pick for |
| 13330s | France in map |
| 13331s | two quite interesting because you see |
| 13335s | like you know historically like lots of |
| 13336s | like Winston Diva you know dive here |
| 13339s | potentially on blizzard world so uh |
| 13341s | maybe they kind of want to go with what |
| 13342s | they saw in that second point of control |
| 13344s | maybe have Poco play uh some of that div |
| 13347s | France played this map last against |
| 13349s | Spain it was actually Spain's pick and |
| 13351s | France were not able to find success on |
| 13353s | that particular map so better that in |
| 13354s | mind here we've seen quite a lot of |
| 13356s | these maps played through being loser |
| 13358s | pick is pretty important but there you |
| 13359s | have it everybody team Japan with a very |
| 13361s | strong start here some names already |
| 13364s | getting the spotlight shot on them can't |
| 13366s | wait to see what's |
| 13367s | [Music] |
| 13387s | [Music] |
| 13389s | next |
| 13390s | [Music] |
| 13419s | no |
| 13430s | [Music] |
| 13449s | oh |
| 13453s | [Music] |
| 13471s | [Music] |
| 13479s | a |
| 13483s | [Music] |
| 13509s | oh |
| 13513s | [Music] |
| 13539s | he |
| 13546s | [Music] |
| 13552s | [Music] |
| 13568s | year after year the best stories coming |
| 13570s | out of the OverWatch World Cup have got |
| 13572s | to be those potential Underdog instances |
| 13576s | and while perhaps at large we don't know |
| 13578s | a whole lot about this team Japan we |
| 13580s | know they've been a roster for quite |
| 13581s | some time and have found great results |
| 13583s | regionally now Matt they're taking it to |
| 13585s | the rest of the |
| 13586s | world yes uh they end up taking this map |
| 13589s | number one here I think maybe even like |
| 13591s | stunning France a little bit as uh take |
| 13594s | a look at some of the subs here that are |
| 13596s | going to come in I believe they are just |
| 13598s | on the uh Japan side so uh looks like |
| 13601s | you will have a mihawk coming in here |
| 13604s | for Japan the base one piece reference |
| 13607s | okay I'm here to see what mihawk has to |
| 13609s | offer us is that a one piece reference |
| 13611s | what is don't worry about it don't worry |
| 13613s | about it just just look at me and say |
| 13614s | doesn't look like anything to me and we |
| 13616s | can move on yeah doesn't look like |
| 13618s | anything to me I have no idea what I |
| 13620s | just commit committed to that was cool |
| 13624s | let's talk about the first map Bernard |
| 13625s | analysis because this team Japan Squad |
| 13627s | of course they switch to their doomfist |
| 13629s | comp and it looks like France don't |
| 13630s | really have an answer blizzard world was |
| 13631s | their pick from map |
| 13633s | two yeah and I mean what what do you do |
| 13635s | here in map number two right uh you have |
| 13637s | Poco stay in the game so think that |
| 13639s | you're going to still see like Sigma |
| 13641s | Diva base |
| 13643s | compositions uh didn't really fair you |
| 13646s | know well on Samo I would say the sigma |
| 13648s | ones but like you were able to you know |
| 13650s | steal that second round really towards |
| 13652s | the end with you know the diva swap was |
| 13654s | effective but really that sound barrier |
| 13656s | so curious to to think what France like |
| 13660s | has here cooked up that they feel like |
| 13662s | will work against what Japan turn at |
| 13663s | them interesting as well no substitution |
| 13665s | from the the the French roster right no |
| 13668s | tank substitution as well that was |
| 13669s | something we often look at Ben best and |
| 13671s | all the teams that he's played in at the |
| 13673s | top level in the past we've gone right |
| 13674s | does he get subbed in here and how |
| 13676s | telegraphed is that because this is a |
| 13678s | team with pretty defined roles let's set |
| 13679s | this moment here to cross to Emily Tang |
| 13681s | a reporter to get some insights from us |
| 13683s | for these first map between these two |
| 13686s | [Music] |
| 13687s | teams thanks Mitch so prior to this |
| 13690s | match we asked team Japan what were you |
| 13693s | looking forward to coming into this |
| 13694s | match against France and they said they |
| 13697s | have actually never scrimmed with a |
| 13699s | European team before today so that was |
| 13701s | the biggest challenge for Japan's |
| 13703s | national |
| 13704s | team and I'm hoping to get more info for |
| 13707s | you guys in the next match uh I will |
| 13710s | throw it back to you guys for |
| 13712s | now thank you very much Emily and that's |
| 13715s | uh I guess that's just a facet I think |
| 13717s | of you know competitive OverWatch the |
| 13719s | world over is that it is regionalized |
| 13721s | quite heavily you get a chance maybe to |
| 13722s | see to watch footage of your opponents |
| 13725s | but the experience of playing against |
| 13727s | them and seeing those Regional |
| 13728s | differences man that's a real test yeah |
| 13731s | and typically between regions right |
| 13732s | there's uh different compositions that |
| 13734s | arise or favorites of uh you know each |
| 13736s | region right and then that's what's so |
| 13738s | awesome about World Cup and like |
| 13739s | international events right you see all |
| 13741s | that kind of merge |
| 13743s | together with a A Wrecking Ball Wrecking |
| 13746s | Ball uh composition here off the rip uh |
| 13750s | interesting as well like the lri with |
| 13753s | the Anna comboed with the ball like |
| 13755s | really kind of relying on the an to |
| 13758s | provide a lot of the healing here uh for |
| 13760s | this wrecking ball your execution with |
| 13763s | this composition has to be piter perfect |
| 13764s | though prats are playing a very tried |
| 13766s | and tested a very durable robust setup |
| 13770s | here obviously around that Sigma the |
| 13772s | Bastion and the may but we've seen re |
| 13773s | ball coms be able to disrupt this as |
| 13775s | well they're so good at denying that set |
| 13777s | up that positional play that the sigma |
| 13779s | looks want to go for nice wall attempt |
| 13781s | there from Nico KSG though as W ball |
| 13783s | often is able to is able to get away |
| 13785s | with the healing pylon removed here for |
| 13787s | cloud so that's field they're already |
| 13789s | used here I mean KSG goes very low in |
| 13791s | that exchange as well but he's able to |
| 13792s | get away is in a bit of an odd spot |
| 13794s | though with only 180 HP adaptive |
| 13797s | shielding is going to give him a little |
| 13798s | bit more durability but he needs to get |
| 13799s | away and that slower the M makes it |
| 13800s | impossible Ki though still turns that |
| 13802s | into a trade the M with ice B |
| 13804s | potentially used already gets brought |
| 13807s | down yeah but there's uh no p for the |
| 13810s | supports right when you have FD God and |
| 13811s | the Lucio kind of just getting Poco |
| 13813s | right in the mix yeah you're going to |
| 13815s | see the swap off the ball straight away |
| 13817s | is uh I like the change uh off of uh |
| 13820s | wrecking ball I would actually say like |
| 13822s | you look across the roster right now in |
| 13824s | terms of Tanks like wrecking balls |
| 13826s | really at least at least off the top of |
| 13829s | my you know uh you know memory like the |
| 13831s | only one that really hasn't had like a |
| 13833s | moment in OverWatch 2 right where like |
| 13835s | they've been like really strong or you |
| 13837s | know a go-to it feels like everybody |
| 13838s | else has had moments opportunities even |
| 13840s | Road Hog right uh it's just wrecking |
| 13843s | Ball's not able to make work in some of |
| 13845s | these comps we've definely seen some |
| 13846s | teams flirt with the prospect of her we |
| 13848s | saw that from gong hack a fair bit this |
| 13850s | year at times eventually that was sort |
| 13852s | of I think Doom is just Doom just does |
| 13855s | like almost the same type of things now |
| 13856s | just like better that's why K makes the |
| 13859s | switch all right Captain used by Cloud |
| 13862s | only really able to get theill with that |
| 13864s | though but once Japan Pile in it's on |
| 13866s | for young and old the duplicate of the |
| 13868s | Bastion is timely as ever |
| 13870s | and now Ki can wrap around maybe make |
| 13872s | some use of the last couple of seconds |
| 13873s | in this B for as po gets a kill on the |
| 13876s | way out here not too shabby Japan though |
| 13878s | going to begin this cap yeah we'll see |
| 13881s | if they're able to do it looks like at |
| 13882s | least Nico's still here potentially here |
| 13884s | or France is you have FD guard work in |
| 13886s | the outside as well such an FD got a |
| 13888s | thing to do look at him straight for |
| 13890s | that healing pilot he does remove it but |
| 13891s | does he put himself in H's way here |
| 13895s | the wasn't the FD God sound barrier |
| 13898s | covered two players there at Le wasn't |
| 13899s | just a solo one but I'm afraid France |
| 13903s | the rest of them would probably have |
| 13904s | liked some more durability from that in |
| 13906s | that fight yeah maybe you'd love to have |
| 13909s | that sound barrier back and I mean you |
| 13911s | could see like so when you're talking |
| 13913s | about like Doom versus the wrecking ball |
| 13916s | right like Doom really kind of wins out |
| 13918s | like every regard like maybe you can say |
| 13921s | displacement is a bit easier on ball |
| 13923s | right like the slam just you know |
| 13925s | rolling in knocking players around like |
| 13928s | Doom also does that with like seismic |
| 13930s | slam and the punches and whatnot and |
| 13932s | also just has like more control over his |
| 13934s | Mobility right where ball you're going |
| 13936s | to need to like latch on and stuff get |
| 13937s | that movement right Doom it's fairly |
| 13940s | simple kg trying to command The High |
| 13942s | Ground here the gravic flux though might |
| 13944s | prove a wrinkle in that plan little bit |
| 13946s | of harassment from the low ground but |
| 13947s | KSG is unperturbed here wants to try and |
| 13950s | knock that Sigma around as much as |
| 13951s | possible it's un clear what value was |
| 13953s | found with that gravi FL well I mean he |
| 13956s | gets like knocked in midair like back |
| 13959s | into towards uh Team Japan I just he's |
| 13962s | able to find one and somehow makes it |
| 13964s | back to The High Ground so been really |
| 13966s | interesting stuff unclear if that really |
| 13968s | interrupted it we'll have to keep track |
| 13971s | of that now as ultimate no longer |
| 13973s | available there of course for your Sigma |
| 13975s | great to see F got here on |
| 13978s | the not the normal pick that we see him |
| 13980s | on ji get picked off though here so |
| 13982s | nowock a a really a lot of pressure on |
| 13984s | that Airborne Target here and KSD takes |
| 13987s | backside full of damage there as a |
| 13989s | unloads on the Doom as he turns his back |
| 13991s | yeah I mean even if you kind of use your |
| 13994s | power block there you're not going to be |
| 13995s | able to soak up that much damage right |
| 13997s | and the of damage coming from the |
| 13998s | opposite side so uh now you'll see Japan |
| 14001s | they'll make a change it'll actually be |
| 14003s | moving away from Doom and they'll |
| 14004s | actually play this Sigma here so no |
| 14007s | Bastion in play they'll stay with the |
| 14008s | sojourn and Echo for now but this will |
| 14011s | give them a little bit more kind of |
| 14013s | control they're going to play a little |
| 14014s | bit of slower Pace now we can see the |
| 14018s | thinking behind this map pick for Team |
| 14019s | France have really been a to control the |
| 14022s | pace and force Japan away from that |
| 14024s | aggressive composition but nothing's |
| 14026s | going to stop NCO from finding picks |
| 14027s | like that it's tsg folding though that's |
| 14030s | the shots coming response from AA which |
| 14031s | is again going to slow up this already |
| 14033s | much slowed Japanese set up and there |
| 14036s | goes |
| 14037s | Nico seems like they have not figured |
| 14040s | out a way to crack this uh know not |
| 14042s | being able to get Poco off of that High |
| 14044s | Ground you're also just taking so much |
| 14046s | damage from that Bastion from afar right |
| 14049s | you dive in to make a play for that |
| 14051s | Bastion when they were you know on some |
| 14052s | of the more dive Heroes uh you're just |
| 14054s | giving your back up to the the rest of |
| 14056s | the |
| 14057s | team very difficult |
| 14059s | to oh you're going to have to use a |
| 14061s | duplicate there just a li H and that's |
| 14064s | all it really achieves here cuki almost |
| 14065s | gets brought down even outside of that |
| 14067s | duplicated form here hit by the captive |
| 14069s | Sun by the looks of things but n is |
| 14070s | going to be here with an overclock the |
| 14071s | only target presenting itself right now |
| 14073s | was Poco who by the way is about to |
| 14075s | unleash a gravitic flux here which is |
| 14077s | going to hamper Japan in a big way |
| 14078s | eventually JY Falls yeah that captive |
| 14081s | sun debuff gets popped and poker's able |
| 14083s | to take mihawk out as he backs away he's |
| 14086s | being chased down now but team Japan |
| 14088s | really investing in trying to get rid of |
| 14089s | the Sig and poco's pretty safe All |
| 14091s | Things Considered I mean he's been he's |
| 14094s | been able to just dominate that High |
| 14096s | Ground which has been huge here for |
| 14098s | France but now gets pushed off of it a |
| 14100s | little bit can Japan control The High |
| 14102s | Ground it looks like NCO even just |
| 14103s | getting it on to KSG just trying to |
| 14105s | force him back KSG is super out of |
| 14107s | position right now the card's on the |
| 14109s | move In |
| 14110s | fairness now mihawk one more shot here |
| 14114s | there's no real way to keep mihawk under |
| 14115s | the thumb there though from a and Ki is |
| 14117s | able to pick him off with that switch to |
| 14118s | the Genji a little bit of extra pressure |
| 14120s | on the Bastion of course the threat of |
| 14122s | that deflect in your face mihawk has |
| 14124s | that Nano available is going to send it |
| 14125s | to cukie who does not have a dragon |
| 14127s | blade maybe just trying to again be as |
| 14129s | aggressive as possible create some space |
| 14131s | here as Poco went extremely low and in |
| 14133s | that accretion animation exposes himself |
| 14136s | to the damage from Nico over time here |
| 14137s | but looks like the C is going to get |
| 14138s | there Gods not in a position to |
| 14140s | intervene three players grouped up here |
| 14142s | for France as AO heads to The High |
| 14143s | Ground and N wants to harass immediately |
| 14145s | Japan knock them down and it feels like |
| 14148s | these are the moments that like win you |
| 14150s | series uh in World Cup especially during |
| 14152s | groups where like that is one where I |
| 14154s | mean think about that France is one |
| 14156s | fight away from basically holding them |
| 14158s | to being under the underpass really like |
| 14161s | once they capture the cart and they end |
| 14163s | up like giving it up is a is out a |
| 14166s | little bit of a flank |
| 14168s | here block Outburst does give you some |
| 14171s | Mobility but if you get rushed down |
| 14172s | there you're in deep trouble also in no |
| 14175s | position to provide sort of the line |
| 14176s | share of your healing maybe like a okay |
| 14179s | off angle turret that's very cheeky thr |
| 14182s | on the other side of the masonry have |
| 14183s | they going to get caught though inside |
| 14184s | the gravitic flux and I like that fromi |
| 14186s | trying to make sure he goes below half |
| 14188s | the morality fi was in play but here |
| 14189s | they come Cloud going to get huge value |
| 14191s | off the detonations and ki's blade is |
| 14193s | going to be there the captive Sun Dragon |
| 14195s | Blade combo lays waste to France yeah |
| 14198s | there was a sick bio there from M |
| 14199s | connects with like two three players so |
| 14202s | now Japan is rolling overclock here |
| 14205s | potentially could be the thing that |
| 14207s | decides it you also have like a a nano |
| 14209s | coming up here KSG |
| 14213s | Ori think go with decent sight lines |
| 14215s | here the ability also to transition up |
| 14217s | to The High Ground in the pink needed |
| 14218s | it's mihawk taking down FD God he is not |
| 14221s | beating those allegations you know what |
| 14223s | AR I'm talking about n going to back up |
| 14225s | here overclock in hand a great B grenade |
| 14227s | connection coming in again from Mi Hulk |
| 14228s | having an outside impact on this fight |
| 14230s | desperately poker trying to stay alive |
| 14232s | here with that kinetic grasp but gets |
| 14233s | blown to SMI as KSG finishes the job |
| 14235s | Nico and overclock here and F God |
| 14237s | desperately wants to get involved a down |
| 14239s | a half HP before he touches the ground |
| 14241s | he's dead nlock here no chance to stay |
| 14244s | alive and Japan get the map down in |
| 14247s | overtime I mean you yeah you you can't |
| 14250s | you can't fall really that early you |
| 14252s | know what with FD got I mean he's |
| 14254s | getting close he would have had sound |
| 14255s | barrier there right I mean he finishes |
| 14257s | that round I think like 88% right he |
| 14259s | ends up living a little bit what that's |
| 14261s | like at 88 to 100 that's like an amp and |
| 14264s | like a little bit of damage right I mean |
| 14266s | that is uh that is an easy sound barer |
| 14268s | there towards the end to be able to get |
| 14269s | to combo with poco's uh flux which I |
| 14272s | think could have maybe been enough to |
| 14274s | hold there at the end where that is |
| 14277s | massive for Japan it looked like they |
| 14278s | were going to actually just stall out |
| 14280s | their attack once they took that first |
| 14282s | checkpoint like they're really making no |
| 14284s | progress Poco able to dominate The High |
| 14285s | Ground all of a sudden they turn that |
| 14287s | into a full map completion I mean that |
| 14289s | is bral for France and it wasn't even |
| 14291s | that involved from Japan mihawk gives a |
| 14294s | n boost over to toi I think on the Genji |
| 14297s | but there's no blade available he's at |
| 14298s | like 40% charge but he dashes towards |
| 14301s | Poco and I think it's a couple shuriken |
| 14302s | throws already the sigma is very low |
| 14304s | obviously the damage a uh you know |
| 14306s | getting a lot of work done there against |
| 14308s | the sigma and all of a sudden poker just |
| 14309s | gets popped because both team Japan DPS |
| 14312s | are really zeroed in on that Target it's |
| 14314s | not common that teams Focus the tanks |
| 14316s | down first but it's just where Poco |
| 14317s | ended up being and where the ships fell |
| 14319s | cuz the tank was the most viable Target |
| 14321s | there let's see what what happened so |
| 14325s | all right bit of a |
| 14328s | here just takes two shots here I mean |
| 14330s | the homie hom is's not even feeding he's |
| 14332s | just trying to live his best life in the |
| 14333s | background there and get some info but |
| 14335s | mihawk with two very quick Taps I I |
| 14337s | don't know if I call the the background |
| 14339s | the the wall where the card is |
| 14342s | approaching the end of the map out in |
| 14343s | the opposite side from the spawn room I |
| 14345s | don't know if I'd say mind his own |
| 14347s | business in the back hasn't set |
| 14349s | thrusters to warp feed there and still |
| 14351s | gets picked up so got hand to mihawk |
| 14353s | there having a great sp there to find a |
| 14355s | huge opening taking Theo out of the pit |
| 14357s | straight away France though already |
| 14358s | trying to maneuver into a closer |
| 14360s | position to get themselves within |
| 14362s | Striking Distance of the point with this |
| 14363s | wrap around I I like this from Japan |
| 14365s | though uh you have this ash in the mix |
| 14368s | right can get huge value with the |
| 14369s | dynamite just like that bio Grenade on |
| 14372s | the opposite side they had to use a May |
| 14374s | wall they're really more of like a |
| 14375s | defensive manner let everybody get |
| 14376s | healed up yeah maybe at first glance you |
| 14378s | think that may wall |
| 14379s | on F he's able to pick himself up though |
| 14382s | that immortality field does a lot of |
| 14383s | work there but n has got a filthy off |
| 14385s | angle here FD God though that's the |
| 14387s | other side of the coin he's able to get |
| 14389s | in there and deal with KSG he was |
| 14390s | playing as just as a single player on |
| 14392s | that right hand side France able to |
| 14394s | group up and eventually make their push |
| 14395s | in there and ni didn't have enough time |
| 14398s | to get Val out of that off |
| 14400s | Angle now will you be able to actually |
| 14403s | kind of like keep this going here if you |
| 14406s | Japan you're going to lose another |
| 14408s | player doesn't look like our tank is |
| 14409s | going to be able to make it back in the |
| 14410s | mix I mean now this is just too powerful |
| 14412s | a position you can at Matrix from this |
| 14413s | room here and set your basting up |
| 14415s | there's no there's no need to even do |
| 14417s | that at this point France with that kill |
| 14419s | on the |
| 14421s | sigma okay that was interesting cuz it |
| 14423s | looked like and the rest of the squad |
| 14425s | ran backwards and mihawk ran forwards |
| 14427s | right into the rest of the crew where uh |
| 14429s | I think you could have gotten you know n |
| 14431s | set up on The High Ground there on the |
| 14432s | ash right uh now you're actually going |
| 14434s | to give this up to |
| 14435s | FR Japan have to find a way to retake |
| 14438s | this |
| 14440s | piece by piece essentially just rushing |
| 14441s | up there would be pretty problematic for |
| 14443s | them they still have to deal with a very |
| 14445s | quickly built amplification Matrix there |
| 14447s | for |
| 14448s | nlock po really just a token resistance |
| 14450s | at The High Ground he's not really uh |
| 14452s | trying to take it but he does want to |
| 14454s | draw KSG over there so there's less |
| 14455s | defensive architecture for players on |
| 14457s | that High Ground giv some opportunities |
| 14459s | for n Andi to get in there find these |
| 14463s | kills po l oh that focusing beam is very |
| 14466s | scary but cookie I mean a little too low |
| 14469s | the duplicate there he's going to go for |
| 14471s | the dup that I mean that's kind of what |
| 14473s | he's been doing is like he goes in a |
| 14474s | little bit maybe too far but gets a dup |
| 14477s | off and then able to kind of like keep |
| 14479s | keep fighting that a little bit but |
| 14480s | doesn't get it off there low though this |
| 14483s | High Ground Control now actually |
| 14484s | starting to manifest on the kill feed |
| 14487s | will get the job done and Cloud finds |
| 14488s | two there and this is that other side of |
| 14491s | what iari can offer you now all of |
| 14493s | France forced to bundle up inside that |
| 14494s | small room but they're playing against |
| 14496s | the sigma this time so that is a scary |
| 14497s | Prospect n might have a response here |
| 14499s | he's forced to use his ice block early |
| 14501s | and pops out of it to try and take Cloud |
| 14502s | by surprise but the Cavalry soon nasty |
| 14505s | shots yeah I mean Cloud hitting some six |
| 14507s | shots there on the allari where able to |
| 14509s | take out AO range and then now this is |
| 14512s | where if you're Japan burn as much clock |
| 14514s | as possible right uh even if they get |
| 14517s | this in OT you still feel like this is a |
| 14519s | winnable situation because you've |
| 14521s | completed the map uh at that point you |
| 14523s | just need like a fight or two and you're |
| 14525s | good to go an only gravic flux here for |
| 14526s | KSG might be an option all of France |
| 14529s | were filtering out of this small room |
| 14531s | but KSD okay going to go for it anyway |
| 14533s | graic flux came out okay immortality |
| 14536s | field was there to respond that Lo's |
| 14538s | good deployment there the basan ability |
| 14541s | they know that France is split a little |
| 14542s | bit though they know that like uh okay |
| 14544s | now FD guard's going to get the bash and |
| 14546s | the rest of |
| 14548s | the going to be duplicate here's a |
| 14550s | gratic flux that's going to catch mihawk |
| 14552s | on The High Ground I think cloud might |
| 14553s | try and keep him topped up so he doesn't |
| 14554s | die when he falls and it works they keep |
| 14556s | the aror alive really going for solo |
| 14559s | play by there while the rest of his team |
| 14561s | is turning to mulsh I mean the healing |
| 14564s | from thei is absolutely Bonkers there I |
| 14567s | mean that is mihawk taking some damage |
| 14569s | getting hit with a gravitic fux and that |
| 14571s | is the pylon plus the alternate fire |
| 14574s | from the L able to just keep mihawk |
| 14576s | alive through all of that uh and now |
| 14578s | France they may find themselves in some |
| 14579s | trouble well it feels like Cloud use |
| 14581s | that captive s like 30 seconds ago |
| 14583s | already has another ultimate build up |
| 14585s | now that's a beautiful biotic grenade |
| 14586s | but there's no chance to follow up on |
| 14588s | that one look at these poke elements in |
| 14589s | play you've got the dynamite speed out |
| 14592s | right you got Dynamite right and the |
| 14594s | dynamite that's a pretty nice hit there |
| 14595s | po as well NCO both hit by that b |
| 14597s | grenade and they're forced to stand in |
| 14598s | place ice block was used there for NCO |
| 14600s | that basically says to all of France we |
| 14602s | cannot advance past this point you need |
| 14603s | to play with that may if you can they |
| 14605s | are going to be able to get into the |
| 14606s | safety of that small room but this will |
| 14608s | allow Japan to take flanking positions |
| 14610s | Cloud might be caught here right click |
| 14611s | to try and keep the up and Outburst to |
| 14613s | try and create some space but it's not |
| 14614s | enough eventually France fully their way |
| 14616s | to The High Ground yeah I mean that one |
| 14619s | they uh they a huge cap of sun and I |
| 14621s | think all their eyes lighted up of like |
| 14624s | hey this is a sick opportunity for us |
| 14626s | but sound barrier in that may wall locks |
| 14629s | cloud and KSG in position but there's |
| 14630s | some changes you have a Bob here in the |
| 14632s | mix maybe they want to try and contest I |
| 14634s | don't think there's enough time they're |
| 14636s | going to go for it anyway right over the |
| 14637s | top there KSD on the Doom fist now and |
| 14639s | Cloud going to get there to standing |
| 14641s | they can't keep the Doom alive Bob got |
| 14643s | caught on the wrong side of the wall |
| 14645s | cloud was right dangling in front of the |
| 14647s | French front line and that was too |
| 14649s | tempting a morsel to refuse at pan down |
| 14651s | to three not a whole lot they can do |
| 14653s | from the periphery of this fight will |
| 14655s | eventually be forced |
| 14656s | away yes I think uh KSG going to try and |
| 14660s | uh make it back to the spawn there uh |
| 14662s | looks like he's able to make it out as |
| 14665s | uh see if there's any changes so n will |
| 14668s | play the sojourn here so sojourn in the |
| 14672s | mix now for Japan is uh K will stay on |
| 14674s | the |
| 14676s | doomfist Comm to it at this point |
| 14680s | halfway towards a meteor strike here |
| 14682s | which may be relevant MO is uh it's a |
| 14685s | big ask there even the godan trying to |
| 14687s | take an ilari at long range as May tough |
| 14690s | fight to win there look at this France |
| 14692s | get a lot of free real estate now as |
| 14693s | they went with the amp Matrix play to |
| 14695s | force Japan back huki duplicates Bastion |
| 14698s | in desperation as it may appear and |
| 14700s | France are still advancing just under |
| 14702s | two minutes to play for here Japan have |
| 14703s | to strike and they have to hit hard F |
| 14705s | God's going to get very close to a sound |
| 14707s | barrier now on the graic flux strikes |
| 14709s | gold heg how do you get out of this one |
| 14711s | skittering back towards spawn if he can |
| 14713s | as Poco takes a ton of damage from the |
| 14714s | sticky bombs over the top he'll have to |
| 14716s | double back now as iar's in his back |
| 14719s | line okay Captain son as well but it |
| 14722s | looks like that's eaten by Poco still |
| 14724s | Cloud survives a little longer here |
| 14726s | enough time for KSG to maybe make |
| 14727s | something happen it was ni to find the |
| 14729s | other ni you actually go for that oh |
| 14732s | that is absolutely unhinged KSG can he |
| 14733s | get out alive being topped up and the |
| 14735s | power block does a heck of a lot of work |
| 14737s | here the dur ility of doomfist on full |
| 14739s | display here as France having |
| 14741s | interrupted I mean he needed to go for |
| 14743s | that meteor strike he would not have |
| 14744s | been able to live kind of through some |
| 14746s | of that damage that was coming down in a |
| 14748s | really tough spot but look at this |
| 14750s | trying to push in towards this doomfist |
| 14752s | in these Close Quarters get a ton of |
| 14754s | impact with his abilities he bought time |
| 14755s | for another power block too Matt that's |
| 14757s | what's crucial yeah I mean I thought |
| 14758s | he'd get out with a medor strike mehawk |
| 14760s | not able to get away just catches in |
| 14762s | there that last little strike kuki is |
| 14764s | able to respond in his two supports down |
| 14765s | across the map and Poco with the |
| 14767s | hypersphere managed to catch on ni now |
| 14769s | KSG is caught out in the open here with |
| 14770s | not a lot of damage coming from those |
| 14772s | off angles and Poco wants to get this |
| 14774s | one home 40 seconds left here for France |
| 14777s | and they're going to get there no doubt |
| 14778s | about it blizzard now just to seal the |
| 14780s | deal and France get it done with time to |
| 14783s | spare it's a 35 second lead yeah I mean |
| 14786s | uh it took them a bit to break that |
| 14788s | second Point hold but once he did a lot |
| 14790s | like how Japan was on their offense just |
| 14792s | rolled right through that last phase of |
| 14794s | the map just France did a little bit |
| 14796s | more time it's hard not to see Frances |
| 14800s | as genuine favorites on this map they |
| 14802s | really set the pace with these Sigma |
| 14804s | compositions but in a couple of small |
| 14806s | moments Japan were able to gain |
| 14807s | advantages here definitely felt like |
| 14809s | there was a chance even with 3 minutes |
| 14811s | left on that last phase of the map to |
| 14813s | hold but France are very good at really |
| 14815s | bullying in position with this Sigma |
| 14817s | composition you got a lot of players |
| 14818s | that really want to be aggressive Nico |
| 14820s | FD got of course able to use that |
| 14822s | mobility and again just trying to stay |
| 14824s | out of these really long Sidelines I |
| 14826s | guess I kind of Wonder uh you know we |
| 14828s | have pretty slow composition from France |
| 14830s | and Japan there's an option here to make |
| 14832s | use of Zenyatta if they were inclined I |
| 14835s | I yeah I mean they switched to it |
| 14836s | towards the end but like Zen with the |
| 14839s | arari uh just not a lot of like heal |
| 14843s | potential like I think here with an Anna |
| 14844s | in the mix you could go for it right |
| 14846s | Anna Zen have a little bit of the |
| 14849s | Discord maybe make it easier for Nico |
| 14851s | and qy like finish some players off |
| 14853s | right Harmony you can just slap it on |
| 14855s | KSG and just forget about it right so uh |
| 14858s | an opportunity to run the Zen here |
| 14860s | thinking that you're not going to be |
| 14861s | under any pressure uh know FD God will |
| 14864s | chase you down though if he kind of sees |
| 14866s | you off on your own but maybe that's a |
| 14868s | fight you're willing to think that cloud |
| 14869s | can take while zenari definitely didn't |
| 14871s | seem like it made a lot of sense in |
| 14873s | terms of overall healing throughput this |
| 14875s | composition offers you a little bit of |
| 14876s | both W here obviously Anna can ABS nail |
| 14879s | KSD with constant healing providing he |
| 14881s | stays in that line of sight and you have |
| 14882s | a lot of threat with that Discord orb |
| 14884s | and constant damage here for Cloud High |
| 14887s | Ground already assumes here for this |
| 14889s | Japan roster Now France have to stay out |
| 14890s | of line of sight playing that left side |
| 14892s | just behind his |
| 14895s | cover yeah can you get this Zen in |
| 14897s | position where kind of oversee the point |
| 14900s | get the valley of orbs going down as uh |
| 14903s | like they had one player low |
| 14905s | there but he gets topped up and they |
| 14907s | lose n that's huge that's a lot of their |
| 14909s | stall on the point yeah no chance to get |
| 14911s | used of ice block there that was a bit |
| 14912s | of an insta kill Poco also falling this |
| 14915s | is getting ugly for Team France now as |
| 14917s | Ki looks to |
| 14918s | fighting those thumb screws just a |
| 14920s | little bit more AO is able to least |
| 14921s | stand on two feet here but Japan want |
| 14923s | the C they've already got two ticks here |
| 14925s | as the fight was going they're already |
| 14927s | underway F go would probably think about |
| 14929s | stalling but it's too late in the day |
| 14931s | for that in Japan now with overtime to |
| 14933s | be fair but still they get this first |
| 14934s | checkpoint and that could be huge yeah |
| 14937s | now I think uh well poco's on the diva |
| 14939s | here so interesting can control The High |
| 14940s | Ground a little bit more but that's |
| 14941s | going to allow Japan with these close |
| 14943s | spawns to make big changes so have ARA |
| 14946s | in the mix here the first time we're |
| 14947s | seen AA here from KSG but seems like |
| 14949s | they're willing to mix it up in terms of |
| 14951s | Tanks i what do you do about this as the |
| 14953s | dvo is this not a scary Prospect for |
| 14954s | Poco running into KSG like this yeah I |
| 14957s | mean it definitely is right uh can't |
| 14959s | really kind of like hold his ground on |
| 14960s | the cart and battle it out right they |
| 14962s | have to be quite aggressive as now you |
| 14964s | lost Nico again yeah he's down once more |
| 14967s | KSG looking a little bit worse for where |
| 14968s | but eventually Japan able to regroup |
| 14970s | here and get this Arisa comp really |
| 14972s | starting to tick over AO this is a |
| 14974s | desperate play to the backline here you |
| 14975s | notice they're struck with a Discord orb |
| 14977s | now |
| 14978s | can they get him out of the pit Ki dup |
| 14980s | the diva to try and Chase AO down but |
| 14982s | loses out in that dual rare thing to see |
| 14984s | from Diva although of course remember |
| 14986s | builds that ultimate much quicker in |
| 14987s | Duke form and that includes getting back |
| 14989s | in the mech after being desited Cloud |
| 14992s | seems to be under no pressure and has a |
| 14993s | Transcendence available this is looking |
| 14995s | pretty scary France have to shut this |
| 14996s | down now and they try to go for this |
| 14998s | matrix it's an odd spot for it Nico |
| 15000s | wants to hold his ground on this mate |
| 15002s | here it's going to be KSG dealing with |
| 15003s | AO that's pretty huge Poco eating a lot |
| 15005s | of this damage but here comes the Trac |
| 15008s | is coming back in F Gods very close to a |
| 15009s | sound barrier though and looks to try |
| 15011s | and force them off the cart here Japan |
| 15012s | now down to three plays mihawk does not |
| 15014s | have that barrier just switched into the |
| 15016s | Lucio a little bit late and Japan looks |
| 15018s | like they're eventually going to be |
| 15019s | ground down the momentum Fizzles as |
| 15022s | France shut the door still with a minute |
| 15024s | on the clock though that is a pretty |
| 15027s | significant push right I mean if you're |
| 15029s | Japan you're looking at things right now |
| 15031s | right a minute 30 on the clock you get |
| 15032s | one hold uh on point a then they're |
| 15036s | pretty much an OT from there on out |
| 15039s | right going into this second point and |
| 15041s | you can control high ground especially |
| 15042s | if you want to play that Ash again uh I |
| 15045s | I think Japan put themselves in a great |
| 15046s | spot to win this so what do they come |
| 15048s | out with is their value in opening with |
| 15051s | the the sigma play The Ash again yeah |
| 15054s | that off trying try not to just lose |
| 15057s | your tank at the start of the fight yeah |
| 15061s | I mean I I I thought that comp was quite |
| 15062s | good uh I mean you can play with the |
| 15064s | Doom here right like the sigma is not uh |
| 15067s | essential for like holding like a high |
| 15069s | ground or anything right if KSG feels |
| 15071s | like he's able to survive a bit better |
| 15073s | and you know maneuver around on the doom |
| 15075s | and it also seem like the Doom is giving |
| 15077s | them trouble right uh it's not like |
| 15080s | France is you know picking him off every |
| 15081s | time Landing these accretions and |
| 15083s | finishing him off right so commit to the |
| 15084s | Doom uh if you're able to survive on |
| 15087s | that you think this ash which was pretty |
| 15090s | impactful the first go on defense can do |
| 15092s | it again right you know one one win |
| 15094s | fight here uh for Japan starts to give |
| 15097s | them a good bank that they can also even |
| 15099s | if they give up the point carry over in |
| 15101s | a second checkpoint you're not going to |
| 15102s | have to switch anything up again with |
| 15104s | the ilari set up cloud has |
| 15107s | demonstrated significant prowess on that |
| 15109s | particular pick a wants a second bite of |
| 15111s | the Apple herei dangling |
| 15113s | tantalizingly above the statue but |
| 15115s | eventually will be switching back |
| 15116s | towards the |
| 15118s | soldier yeah just a little bit safer |
| 15121s | right with the soldier going in rather |
| 15123s | than Widowmaker the Widowmaker could be |
| 15125s | a pretty good dive Target is look at |
| 15127s | that that's a punch there from the side |
| 15129s | and you lose both supports like that is |
| 15132s | I mean that is worst case scenario not |
| 15136s | only Matt did France have to fight |
| 15138s | through a brutal group in the in their |
| 15140s | European qualifier like the teams in uh |
| 15143s | in their group were just disgusting now |
| 15145s | going up against a team that no one |
| 15146s | really has information on been watching |
| 15149s | contenders in that region that's a |
| 15150s | different story but you know conversely |
| 15153s | team Japan have not ever scrimmed a |
| 15155s | European team they really don't know |
| 15156s | what they're going into so they play |
| 15157s | their St they play what works and it is |
| 15159s | causing so many problems here for France |
| 15161s | nlock hoping to line a couple players up |
| 15163s | here as we see a switch towards this |
| 15164s | anad Diva look |
| 15166s | now Diva can put yeah he can put more |
| 15168s | pressure on the backline right and then |
| 15170s | also eat some of these like dynamites |
| 15172s | that come on through right so what |
| 15174s | you're trying to do here with that Diva |
| 15176s | High ground pressure AO Sliding Away as |
| 15178s | the seismic slam came in and very |
| 15180s | quickly ni checks the enemy Nico evil |
| 15183s | NCO whichever one you prefer the tracers |
| 15185s | tries to wrap around Dynamite but Nik |
| 15188s | really wants to try and line up |
| 15189s | something a little bit more tasty that |
| 15190s | one will do mihawk brought down the |
| 15192s | Tracer eventually finding purchase now |
| 15194s | Nik obviously not in a position to |
| 15195s | intervene so it's just going to be down |
| 15197s | to Cloud's healing but he's got damage |
| 15198s | as well and ni got taken out on the |
| 15199s | trade no KSG left here Ki duplicates |
| 15203s | aluo again that's happened again Alo he |
| 15207s | doesn't care he D anybody he doesn't |
| 15209s | care but look in the spacing you can |
| 15211s | create for your DPS with the boob it's |
| 15213s | actually pretty impressive poco's going |
| 15215s | to run out of gas here there's no more |
| 15216s | juice left and we're going to go for |
| 15218s | just a celebration ultimate here for |
| 15220s | cloud as team Japan hold France at Bay |
| 15223s | that full hold is going to lock things |
| 15225s | up a two victory for Japan well I I |
| 15230s | think uh you know most people would have |
| 15232s | obviously said France taking this series |
| 15235s | coming on in not Johnny uh no not not |
| 15238s | Johnny and I think uh with seeing how |
| 15240s | Japan played they are going to be a |
| 15242s | problem moving forward I mean they were |
| 15245s | lights out in this series some really |
| 15247s | really impressive stuffff and now it's |
| 15249s | worth talking about the rest of this |
| 15250s | group because a waiting Japan elsewhere |
| 15251s | Saudi Arabia and the United States again |
| 15255s | uh I think expectations for both of |
| 15257s | those teams are skyh high Saudi Arabia |
| 15259s | is mostly Twisted Minds plus a wild Sur |
| 15262s | head in there and of course we know all |
| 15264s | the hype going to this team United |
| 15266s | States roster it's a brutal group all of |
| 15268s | them are but team Japan have showed a |
| 15270s | willingness to go their own way and make |
| 15272s | adaptations as they go Cloud Nico with |
| 15274s | peace sign of Thumbs Up yeah I'd be |
| 15276s | feeling good if I were you too it's been |
| 15278s | quite some time since we've got to see |
| 15279s | Japan compete on the international stage |
| 15282s | and they've only gotten |
| 15284s | better yeah I mean just uh overall I |
| 15286s | really love their comps I thought KSG on |
| 15289s | the on the tank role right specifically |
| 15291s | being able to play that doomfist and |
| 15293s | live constantly not being punished |
| 15295s | especially with the caliber of a tank on |
| 15297s | the other side a sigma like Poco right |
| 15299s | uh not able to kind of capitalize I |
| 15301s | thought was huge right being able to be |
| 15303s | that disruptor in the backline uh just |
| 15306s | really nice stuff there from Japan and |
| 15308s | we saw a substitution at support there |
| 15310s | as well mihawk came in and had |
| 15312s | incredible honor we also got to see the |
| 15314s | Zenyatta that we teased a little bit on |
| 15315s | that overtime attack from Team Japan and |
| 15317s | it worked beautifully I can't wait to |
| 15319s | hear what Adis has to say about this I'm |
| 15320s | sure they've got some opinions so let's |
| 15321s | waste no time and head over to soe in |
| 15323s | the |
| 15325s | game thank you so much friends we are |
| 15328s | back here Jaan let's |
| 15334s | go I I thought dadd was going to come in |
| 15336s | with a y |
| 15338s | but he did not I mean I I knew I knew |
| 15340s | you were going to do it so I saved that |
| 15341s | one for you had to say I know very sugy |
| 15344s | was that it was this this was incredible |
| 15348s | I love because if you're looking at that |
| 15350s | group now things are wide open I think |
| 15352s | this might be a really tight group and |
| 15355s | it's going to make it so much harder to |
| 15356s | predict let's once more take a look at |
| 15358s | highlights to see what brought us here |
| 15361s | uh it was very very close on some more |
| 15365s | Japan Indian taking it but it went the |
| 15367s | distance all three rounds hey credit to |
| 15371s | Japan I mean they came out and they did |
| 15372s | it their way but also they beat uh |
| 15376s | France playing this Sigma bashing |
| 15377s | composition to kick things off right and |
| 15379s | then you're think like okay well you |
| 15380s | know if they're going to play uh Sigma |
| 15382s | you know cool great it works out pretty |
| 15384s | well but then |
| 15385s | KSG KSG swaps over to the doomfist and |
| 15388s | just pounds the entire match like just |
| 15391s | great doomfist play Staying Alive |
| 15393s | getting the punches being annoying being |
| 15395s | a nuisance that's what you want to do in |
| 15396s | doomfist just I I I feel like every year |
| 15399s | in the World Cup we get one of those |
| 15400s | teams that just like surprises people |
| 15402s | and you know some of us learn about some |
| 15404s | new names and new players that we |
| 15406s | haven't really heard about before I feel |
| 15408s | like Japan might be that team so many |
| 15410s | players on this team Danny they were |
| 15411s | just really fun to watch yeah I mean |
| 15413s | Japan definitely did their homework and |
| 15415s | we talked about how great KSU was we're |
| 15417s | looking at another great player that we |
| 15418s | saw from Team Japan Q loud Cloud I think |
| 15421s | it was |
| 15422s | Cloud i' been sorry sorry Cloud I've |
| 15425s | been just calling you the whole whole |
| 15427s | time but this guy was on fire the whole |
| 15430s | series it was just not supporting his |
| 15433s | team but just like just just everything |
| 15436s | that he did was just fantastic I think |
| 15438s | Japan is definitely an exciting team in |
| 15440s | group D yeah and I love that there were |
| 15442s | so many standouts like Nico played a |
| 15444s | really really good game there as well uh |
| 15447s | all game long I loved that souljour |
| 15449s | battle that Matt and Mitch also |
| 15451s | highlighted between AO and Nico and then |
| 15454s | as you said c out I do love that though |
| 15457s | D oh yeah Cloud |
| 15460s | also all of them like I think are you |
| 15462s | sure it's this has been a really really |
| 15464s | impressive performance uh if you're a |
| 15467s | France fan though are you worried right |
| 15470s | now |
| 15471s | reinforce I'm a little bit worried cuz |
| 15474s | it did cook a little bit with their |
| 15475s | compositions look they got the they got |
| 15477s | the most staff out of any team here in |
| 15479s | the world cup and it did feel like they |
| 15481s | were cooking a little bit you know |
| 15483s | having Niko swaps over to the Tracer uh |
| 15485s | you know when they're playing these |
| 15486s | Sigma compos I and it was a little bit |
| 15488s | over the place and of course I'm nervous |
| 15490s | because now I mean if you look at Group |
| 15492s | D sure you got USA they're the favors to |
| 15495s | win that group and now France has lost |
| 15497s | to Japan so you need two wins to make it |
| 15500s | another group pretty much and so you got |
| 15502s | to beat United States I that that is an |
| 15506s | upal battle it's it's tough and I mean I |
| 15510s | feel like the the their composition |
| 15513s | seemed a little disconnected maybe it |
| 15514s | wasn't really everyone on the same page |
| 15516s | and we're looking at teams here here |
| 15517s | with Japan having so much Synergy coming |
| 15519s | from one and the same team of course the |
| 15522s | same can be said about Saudi Arabia |
| 15523s | which you also find in group D all of |
| 15525s | them playing for the same team so they |
| 15527s | have it figured out they know exactly |
| 15529s | what they're going to play Let's see if |
| 15531s | France can clean it up this was just the |
| 15532s | first of many games we're all playing |
| 15534s | group uh uh the group stages in round |
| 15536s | drin so there are more opportunities of |
| 15538s | course to come out on top we're going to |
| 15540s | break down our next uh game in just a |
| 15542s | little bit but first let's head into a |
| 15544s | quick break don't go |
| 15546s | anywhere |
| 15562s | okay nice nice okay nice nice okay |

| 15860s | what what well you know what you do know |
| 15864s | you know those teams you know those |
| 15865s | players you love them you see them let's |
| 15867s | take a look at the starting lightup for |
| 15869s | team Thailand I mean there have been a |
| 15871s | favored in O World Cup's past much of it |
| 15874s | of course has not just been due to D |
| 15876s | aggressive play Styles but also they |
| 15878s | players like Auto I mean he's been a |
| 15880s | Mainstay in the World Cup he's the only |
| 15884s | player in fact who has been with us for |
| 15887s | each and every single one of them mean |
| 15889s | look at him what what's not to love also |
| 15891s | uh he's made a big name for himself |
| 15893s | during those World Cups on absolute sick |
| 15896s | Sombra gameplay so I am very excited to |
| 15899s | see him and the team showing up once |
| 15902s | again Johnny yeah this time it's going |
| 15904s | to be on support though a little roll |
| 15905s | swap coming here from buo uh throughout |
| 15907s | all these years I mean look Thailand is |
| 15910s | just like legendary in the World Cup |
| 15912s | like you said they always bring us |
| 15913s | really aggressive really fun gameplay |
| 15915s | this time around though they are going |
| 15916s | to slow down the pace so it's not going |
| 15918s | to be the dive heavy you know super |
| 15919s | aggressive Thailand that we know and |
| 15921s | love instead it's going to be a mixture |
| 15923s | of players primarily from a team called |
| 15925s | da esport in the Asian Pacific region |
| 15927s | once more so back when I misremembered |
| 15930s | that Japan won that event it was |
| 15931s | actually pretty much team Thailand that |
| 15933s | won that event right so this is going to |
| 15935s | be a really uh fun time to watch |
| 15937s | Thailand now maybe similar to team team |
| 15939s | Japan in the sense that they can punch |
| 15940s | upwards here in this tournament yeah and |
| 15943s | they're they're going up against uh Team |
| 15945s | Hong Kong right I think team Hong Kong |
| 15947s | is they have a good mix of some some |
| 15949s | newer players and also Veterans as well |
| 15951s | the two people that I'm looking out for |
| 15953s | is their tank player wreck and also |
| 15955s | mango ji for talking about wreck uh it's |
| 15957s | an interesting thing because he's going |
| 15959s | up against uh his teammates from John |
| 15962s | you just mentioned da ESP Sports all of |
| 15964s | Team Thailand is on da ESP Sports and re |
| 15966s | is a tank player for DP da Esports so |
| 15968s | he's going to be going up against his |
| 15970s | team uh and mango ji he went he he's |
| 15974s | coming back from retirement he is a |
| 15976s | legendary Flex support player and I know |
| 15978s | that this is his uh fourth OverWatch |
| 15981s | World Cup as well you're seeing his |
| 15982s | accolades he's got you know a first |
| 15984s | place in you know Season 2 Pacific 20 |
| 15988s | 2018 as well this guy's definitely a |
| 15990s | legendary player who's making a comeback |
| 15991s | so I think I'm definitely watching out |
| 15993s | for M Kai as |
| 15994s | well yeah let's of familiar faces lots |
| 15997s | of new faces as well and we are hoping |
| 16000s | for a very exciting match so once again |
| 16003s | let's take a look at our predictions uh |
| 16006s | they've been going pretty well today |
| 16008s | they say for us it's been a lot of fun |
| 16010s | uh I went with Team Thailand for this |
| 16014s | one just because with audo as well as uh |
| 16018s | Tito wat in the lineup |
| 16021s | uh I just I know what to expect from |
| 16023s | those players I got to be be honest with |
| 16025s | you other than mango I'm not too |
| 16027s | familiar with the players from Team Hong |
| 16029s | Kong so I'm not sure what they have to |
| 16032s | offer but I'm looking for a close game |
| 16034s | I'm hoping for a close game yeah uh I |
| 16036s | also want with Team Thailand you know |
| 16038s | just as we mentioned it's mostly all of |
| 16041s | the death def Esports and they are uh |
| 16043s | you know a really good asia-pacific |
| 16044s | contenders team so uh I'm believing in |
| 16047s | their Synergy uh to take the win yeah I |
| 16049s | think it'll be a little bit close I got |
| 16051s | Thailand 21 in this one but I think |
| 16052s | they're a really respectable team so |
| 16054s | similar to Japan as I already mentioned |
| 16056s | I I do think that both Japan and |
| 16058s | Thailand are going to be two contenders |
| 16059s | this kind of like World Cup that can |
| 16061s | positively surprise in this one um so |
| 16063s | you know being that the meta is the |
| 16065s | sigma Bastion compositions I think we'll |
| 16068s | see a similar story from Team T in this |
| 16069s | one and we might positively positively |
| 16071s | surprised at the end of this game yeah |
| 16073s | and of course both of those teams |
| 16074s | finding themselves in a group with China |
| 16077s | China definitely one of the teams which |
| 16079s | we all expect to come out at the very |
| 16081s | top so it's a steep uphill battle and |
| 16084s | that makes this first Victory all the |
| 16086s | more important you want to get that |
| 16088s | first W on the board let's see which of |
| 16090s | the two teams can get it done we're |
| 16091s | going to find out after this |
| 16095s | [Music] |
| 16115s | break |
| 16118s | [Music] |
| 16182s | [Music] |
| 16247s | [Music] |
| 16270s | [Music] |
| 16276s | hi everyone welcome back to the |
| 16278s | OverWatch World Cup the one time of year |
| 16280s | we can all be biased sad or happy |
| 16283s | depending on how our country is doing |
| 16284s | where Canada is down tremendous but the |
| 16287s | down unders are apparently on top yeah |
| 16289s | let's go baby aie oie Aussie we we got |
| 16292s | our first win hey it's okay you know we |
| 16295s | will have the battle for the |
| 16296s | Commonwealth later on I believe that's |
| 16298s | tomorrow and I think we're casting that |
| 16299s | one so bias will be at an all-time high |
| 16302s | yeah you guys want to tune in for that |
| 16304s | match but custa weren't you did you play |
| 16306s | for the OverWatch World Cup man things |
| 16308s | have changed for you I know I know I've |
| 16310s | become incredibly washed since then but |
| 16313s | yeah I have actually been able and you |
| 16315s | know fortunate enough to play for team |
| 16316s | Australia oh my god look how young I |
| 16319s | look it's it's it was an awesome |
| 16321s | experience it's a great opportunity for |
| 16322s | a lot of players to play on the |
| 16324s | international stage play against a lot |
| 16326s | of guys I actually went to Thailand |
| 16327s | Bangkok to qualify for it and then we |
| 16330s | brought our onesies oh no you ones this |
| 16335s | uh I actually think it was recently |
| 16337s | tossed away because it didn't it didn't |
| 16339s | travel too well honestly all the zippers |
| 16341s | broke but this was the qualifiers here |
| 16343s | that was Johnny in the background we |
| 16344s | beat Johnny to qualify for the actual |
| 16346s | World Cup which is uh which is nice to |
| 16348s | see and obviously gbo was the coach of |
| 16350s | Team Australia back then but it's |
| 16352s | awesome and then we uh we actually made |
| 16354s | it to BlizzCon we made it to the round |
| 16356s | of eight it was an awesome opportunity |
| 16357s | for us and then we played against South |
| 16359s | Korea in the first round I played torb |
| 16361s | and as you can imagine we |
| 16364s | lost great I I like how you have to |
| 16366s | remind everyone that you beat reinforce |
| 16368s | and you even got to be on a video with |
| 16369s | Coach of the Year GBA and well what is |
| 16372s | your anti-aging secret because I swear |
| 16374s | to God you look the same no there's no |
| 16377s | way did you see baby face Custer up |
| 16378s | there no I I've definitely aged a couple |
| 16381s | of wrinkles coming on the forehead but |
| 16383s | you know it's awesome to be able to see |
| 16385s | World Cup back once again it's been 4 |
| 16387s | years and now we have almost a new |
| 16389s | generation of players coming through to |
| 16391s | play in some of these matches and we |
| 16393s | have you know some actual veterans we |
| 16395s | have Auto as soe said who's been around |
| 16397s | the ringer of the World Cup but you know |
| 16399s | for team Hong Kong some plays that we |
| 16401s | haven't seen much of at all uto is a |
| 16403s | flex God I I got to cast him a bit in |
| 16406s | the uh OverWatch leag summer stage the |
| 16408s | way that he could do support DPS he can |
| 16410s | do it all we start on Samoa that neutral |
| 16412s | map then I really think the Highlight |
| 16414s | for Thailand is actually their DPS Tai |
| 16416s | Vision Ace opo if he feels like being |
| 16418s | DPS that day they are incredible yeah |
| 16421s | and there's a there's a lot of |
| 16422s | interesting talent that a lot of people |
| 16424s | don't really You Know Have Eyes on they |
| 16426s | don't really know how great these |
| 16428s | players are we just saw it in the last |
| 16430s | Japan series that's a great team that |
| 16432s | has a lot of experience in asia-pacific |
| 16434s | contenders but now we head into this |
| 16436s | match and Thailand is the team that has |
| 16439s | sort of has that experience and they won |
| 16440s | the Asia Pacific contenders but to hear |
| 16442s | more let's talk to Emily who has the |
| 16444s | sideline report for this match |
| 16447s | hey thank you so much kusta so before |
| 16450s | the match I was able to speak briefly |
| 16452s | with Team Japan uh Team Hong Kong and |
| 16454s | team Thailand and I just asked the usual |
| 16456s | questions what are some challenges |
| 16457s | you'll face and what are some things you |
| 16459s | admire from the opponent uh from the |
| 16461s | opponent team and so Hong Kong was a bit |
| 16463s | cheeky with their response but they said |
| 16465s | they're very friendly with Team Thailand |
| 16467s | and what they admire is that they have |
| 16468s | many talented players and you can see |
| 16470s | that they have three tank players so |
| 16472s | they're a little bit jealous of Team |
| 16474s | Thailand strategies and diverse |
| 16477s | compositions as for team Thailand I |
| 16479s | asked what are your biggest challenges |
| 16480s | facing team Hong Kong and they said that |
| 16484s | um mainly I would say ourselves because |
| 16487s | everyone in the team except for Tito wat |
| 16488s | has never experienced land and finally |
| 16491s | they wanted to say thank you so much for |
| 16492s | supporting us all the way from Thailand |
| 16494s | here in the us we really felt the love |
| 16496s | of of our fans and we're definitely |
| 16498s | going to try our best back to you guys L |
| 16500s | and |
| 16502s | custa thank you so much Emily it's great |
| 16505s | to see the respect between these teams |
| 16507s | and how much they appreciate the support |
| 16509s | from of course their own country but |
| 16511s | everyone watching and hey you can see |
| 16513s | Thailand feeling that support already a |
| 16514s | first kill for high Vision on the shaan |
| 16516s | and tyan already got the cap too and |
| 16519s | it's interesting we're going to see both |
| 16521s | teams come out on a mirror composition |
| 16522s | they both want to play the doomfist |
| 16524s | something unconventional that only a few |
| 16526s | teams have been playing in the World Cup |
| 16528s | so far but Thailand feeling very |
| 16530s | comfortable with that first half and |
| 16531s | they're putting the pressure on and they |
| 16533s | find another pick onto M crazy I know |
| 16535s | the desk we're feeling about uh the |
| 16539s | Synergy between Thailand and I think |
| 16541s | Hong Kong also have a lot of synergy |
| 16543s | they played under Hong Kong prot and |
| 16545s | contenders so a lot of chemistry on here |
| 16548s | but Thailand so far leading that and |
| 16550s | keeping Hong Kong at Bay r3k actually |
| 16553s | plays for daf Esports as well with a lot |
| 16555s | of these Thailand players that's why you |
| 16557s | see them waving and they have that |
| 16558s | mutual respect they probably know and |
| 16561s | understand what both teams are going to |
| 16562s | play so it's just going to come down to |
| 16563s | who executes better but another pick on |
| 16566s | the mango they Hong Kong just haven't |
| 16567s | even had an opportunity to fight yet |
| 16570s | yeah High Vision has been that highlight |
| 16573s | for the team but shalan gets the Revenge |
| 16576s | Thailand missing that one player do they |
| 16578s | still protect the point they got The |
| 16579s | High Ground and especially that doomfist |
| 16581s | of tiwa with these close walls and Samoa |
| 16583s | it's great to lock down a certain hero |
| 16586s | an r3k shot through there by Ace as AO |
| 16590s | and friends move forward thanks to the |
| 16591s | Nano Pali and Thailand haven't lost any |
| 16594s | control yeah the Nano onto Auto was so |
| 16597s | smart Hong Kong committed so many |
| 16599s | resources to Tak them down and then boom |
| 16601s | raid boss Brig not going down and Hong |
| 16604s | Kong just couldn't keep up the damage |
| 16605s | and now 80% in counting not many |
| 16607s | ultimates have been used at all janon |
| 16609s | cannot fall oh there he goes oh that's |
| 16613s | not good for them Hong Kong will |
| 16615s | definitely have to use ultimate as it's |
| 16617s | the last fight for the first point mango |
| 16619s | ji with the Nano this has been that |
| 16621s | veteran that Hong Kong could rely on |
| 16623s | before but High vision is seeking behind |
| 16625s | the team can he take out mango before |
| 16626s | that Nano comes out H quite far away and |
| 16629s | was actually hunting for shanne who |
| 16631s | exposes him now duplicates available |
| 16632s | giving that second like huge and a stun |
| 16635s | from Tian on the supports of Hong Kong |
| 16637s | and they weren't even able to touch |
| 16639s | Thailand with a statement of 100 to zero |
| 16642s | score and that's what I expect from this |
| 16645s | Thailand Squad you know we talked in the |
| 16647s | last series about you know Japan this is |
| 16649s | a sneaky team that people might not put |
| 16651s | enough respect onto Thailand is the |
| 16654s | exact same thing they are a great great |
| 16655s | team in the Asia Pacific region and they |
| 16658s | could be a scary team moving forward |
| 16661s | they're in a group with China so |
| 16663s | everyone expects China to come through |
| 16664s | as that number one seed so Thailand and |
| 16666s | Hong Kong they're really buying for that |
| 16668s | second spot in this group to make it to |
| 16670s | BlizzCon so this is a very important |
| 16673s | match for both of these teams and |
| 16675s | there's varying experience levels too on |
| 16677s | Hong Kong where I got to cast them |
| 16679s | recently in the OverWatch league summer |
| 16680s | stage and performing at varying degrees |
| 16683s | just because they just made that roster |
| 16685s | so |
| 16686s | um I think it was NGK with mango ji and |
| 16688s | channe where wishing they could put on a |
| 16691s | better show but this is what the World |
| 16692s | Cup is all about Redemption for how your |
| 16694s | career started how it's going maybe even |
| 16696s | resurrecting that career whoever you may |
| 16699s | be for now it is Thailand Tak it up a |
| 16701s | lot of real estate they've actually anti |
| 16702s | r3k have them up against the wall almost |
| 16705s | able to lock down high Vision who |
| 16707s | manages to fly away and Chalan could |
| 16709s | take advantage of that moment now you |
| 16711s | almost don't want to touch the point |
| 16712s | with how exposed you may be with no |
| 16714s | cover available and Thailand are still |
| 16716s | jumping in r3k is such Target of their |
| 16719s | focus once again first capture goes over |
| 16721s | to Thailand though Hong Kong doing a |
| 16723s | better job of staying alive now they're |
| 16725s | the one with the first pick on high |
| 16727s | Vision yeah Thailand have the cap of for |
| 16729s | really how long is Ace has to jump in to |
| 16732s | help uto but at least it's able to fire |
| 16734s | back with a double kill and this maybe |
| 16737s | gives Thailand a winning chance but Hong |
| 16739s | Kong still put quite a dent in the |
| 16740s | forces of Thailand can Hong Kong win |
| 16743s | their first fight and they don't want to |
| 16745s | R 3 K sure reinvigorates that front line |
| 16748s | and now with the cap Hong Kong can keep |
| 16749s | going great confidence by Hong Kong |
| 16752s | putting the Nano onto r3k to give |
| 16754s | themselves that Advantage they get the |
| 16756s | flip back over but now Thailand's going |
| 16757s | to come back they will have the Nano |
| 16759s | boost Advantage but p is actually |
| 16761s | running very far behind doesn't even |
| 16763s | have it yet at |
| 16765s | 80% going for the flip this is the punch |
| 16767s | on r3k who's jumped behind and tiat goes |
| 16770s | down the hole buy some time for him to |
| 16772s | heal back up he jumps back towards |
| 16774s | healers but takes too much pressure |
| 16777s | especially with that focusing beam of |
| 16778s | shalan now all over these supports at a |
| 16780s | 3K for that echo of Hong Kong and they |
| 16783s | have a a lead that's growing yeah all of |
| 16786s | a sudden you see Hong Kong maybe |
| 16788s | breaking off some of those nerves |
| 16790s | playing a lot more confidence Shan's |
| 16792s | finding these picks on the echo time and |
| 16794s | time again and P is still not up to that |
| 16796s | Nano boost so now Thailand it's their |
| 16798s | opportunity to enter in they're going |
| 16800s | around the left side to give their |
| 16801s | backline a little bit of protection and |
| 16803s | now P's going to drop the N but here |
| 16805s | comes the BR duplicate from Shan maybe |
| 16808s | not the one he wanted but either way the |
| 16810s | rally sure is strong if he can can get |
| 16812s | up to it but H Doom the doomfist dropped |
| 16816s | right in the middle of the team somehow |
| 16818s | escapes you got anti hitting Hong Kong |
| 16820s | left and right and that break from Shan |
| 16822s | did not last but am crazy trying to do |
| 16824s | his best with the rally to keep his team |
| 16826s | up but Hong Kong are struggling against |
| 16829s | the sustain and the team chemistry that |
| 16831s | Thailand have that's a three man anti |
| 16833s | from mango chai but Hong Kong lacked the |
| 16836s | damage to do anything with that just no |
| 16838s | punish and crazy the rally was just a |
| 16840s | smidge too late the rest of his team had |
| 16843s | already fallen and they didn't get the |
| 16844s | value of that rally and now Thailand |
| 16846s | they're upping the tempo they're trying |
| 16847s | to dive early trying to find an early |
| 16849s | pick but now no under karumi and there |
| 16850s | goes the overclock KY is slept and |
| 16853s | damage mitigation just enough hits two |
| 16857s | and that should be enough somehow yeah |
| 16859s | karumi still dies but that sleep should |
| 16861s | have been the end of him that Nano was |
| 16862s | huge from mango ji yeah great response |
| 16865s | from Hong Kong recognize the aggression |
| 16867s | from Thailand even with P hitting that |
| 16868s | sleep just not enough and now T what's |
| 16871s | going to be the first one to switch goes |
| 16873s | over to the Winston maybe thinking they |
| 16875s | can get more damage get into that back |
| 16877s | line yeah Winston just a Kryptonite to |
| 16879s | honor too and if mango is such an |
| 16882s | impactful person for Hong Kong getting |
| 16885s | on top of these supports the bubble |
| 16886s | right at the choke is great you block |
| 16887s | off some of the healing that's only |
| 16890s | slowing down Hong Kong but maybe it |
| 16892s | gives some space for karumi and Ace the |
| 16894s | trade blow for low 91% 92 before it's |
| 16898s | flipped back over to Ty Lan who stay in |
| 16900s | the driver seat yeah but Hong Kong they |
| 16902s | only need one more team fight to be able |
| 16904s | to get this but they have no ultimates |
| 16905s | r3k switching over to the diva a counter |
| 16908s | pick of Winston because you can just |
| 16910s | shoot him in the butt and follow him all |
| 16911s | the way but Thailand's coming up to some |
| 16913s | big ultimates right now oh he can't lose |
| 16916s | Shan but Thailand now have to dup afraid |
| 16919s | of how that Diva dive would go hi Vision |
| 16921s | buys himself another life in Thailand |
| 16924s | just WIP Hong and they did have to use |
| 16926s | some ultimates of course the Nano and |
| 16928s | the dke but staggering out Hong Kong is |
| 16930s | huge oh r3k just doesn't make it back to |
| 16933s | the spawn loses the mech he's going to |
| 16934s | have to go back into spawn switch back |
| 16936s | and forth and now all of a sudden |
| 16938s | desperation mode for Hong Kong M crazy |
| 16940s | on the Lucio r3k over to the wrecking |
| 16942s | ball 6% to touch all right swapping to |
| 16946s | the Hammond to allow that touch r3k |
| 16947s | starts it but is slept and that means |
| 16950s | the rest of are exposed and that Hamet |
| 16953s | never woke up in Thailand will take map |
| 16955s | one a that was so unfortunate the |
| 16958s | wrecking ball rolls through the point |
| 16959s | but just a little bit early to trigger |
| 16961s | the overtime and then the wrecking ball |
| 16963s | gets slept so they can't re-engage on |
| 16965s | the touch and it's a pretty conf |
| 16968s | convincing first map win here from Team |
| 16970s | Thailand it is I think Hong Kong had a |
| 16973s | lot more fight I think they had better |
| 16974s | planning around the mango G Nano shalan |
| 16977s | kept up better against High Visions Echo |
| 16979s | where High Vision I would say was |
| 16980s | diffing him on that first round and I |
| 16983s | like the the tank swaps it's a bit a |
| 16985s | chess match yeah you can see both of |
| 16987s | these teams come from a similar region |
| 16989s | they want to play that doomfist they |
| 16991s | want to play the dive that's what |
| 16992s | they're more comfortable in so Hong Kong |
| 16994s | more than happy to take this mirror |
| 16995s | against Thailand but some better looks |
| 16997s | on the second round but if they can |
| 17000s | avoid some of the mistakes avoid getting |
| 17002s | picked early on in the rounds then they |
| 17003s | can start to play their own game start |
| 17005s | to cycle their ultimates because you can |
| 17006s | see Signs of Life from them the further |
| 17009s | we went into this map a Smiles all |
| 17013s | around from the left side it's nice I |
| 17016s | was kind of talking to you before we got |
| 17017s | on our cast it's very nostalgic |
| 17019s | sometimes you see returning players we |
| 17020s | talked about that next Generation when |
| 17022s | we uh when we'll see South Korea in our |
| 17024s | next match it'll be a lot very different |
| 17027s | of a South Korea than in 2019 but here |
| 17029s | are your highlights of map number one |
| 17031s | the doomfist matchup was very fun yeah |
| 17034s | and doomfist has a very interesting |
| 17036s | matchup because it's all about your |
| 17037s | engages your disengages you can you can |
| 17040s | punch the the blocks right so that sort |
| 17042s | of negates a lot of that defensive |
| 17044s | utility that doomfist has so there is a |
| 17046s | bit of a mirror tank match up going on |
| 17048s | here but the other one I want to |
| 17050s | highlight from this map so far was the |
| 17052s | echo match up Shion versus high Vision I |
| 17054s | think both of them were making big plays |
| 17056s | finding first picks and they're just |
| 17057s | meeting each other in the air trying to |
| 17059s | win that Echo du I think karumi had some |
| 17062s | big pop off moments too thinking about |
| 17063s | when he got Manel by mang mangle and |
| 17065s | still pulled off like a two or 3K which |
| 17068s | was a big win condition for Hong Kong to |
| 17070s | even get on the board so now we're |
| 17072s | waiting for the map pick from Hong Kong |
| 17074s | Kong at its Match Point these are all |
| 17076s | best of Threes And Thailand I think got |
| 17078s | away with a swift 100 Z but Hong Kong |
| 17080s | still got some fight in them yeah and |
| 17082s | anything can happen as you move further |
| 17084s | in the series control plays very quickly |
| 17086s | you want to play a lot of these fast |
| 17088s | compositions but we've actually seen a |
| 17089s | lot of teams so far in this world cup |
| 17091s | picking Circa Royale so they can play |
| 17093s | around Sigma play a little bit slower |
| 17095s | you know we saw how effective karumi was |
| 17098s | on that soen if they could lean into |
| 17100s | that a little bit more that could be a |
| 17101s | win |
| 17103s | condition see what the pick is and it's |
| 17105s | it's an interesting format because in |
| 17107s | map two you get to pick either escort or |
| 17109s | hybrid so there's just so many maps to |
| 17112s | pick from in a map three it's either |
| 17113s | push or flash point so Hong Kong are |
| 17116s | locking in circuit Royale yeah and this |
| 17119s | is probably them looking as like hey |
| 17122s | doesn't seem like we're going to win in |
| 17123s | this doomfist match up I would be |
| 17125s | surprised if either team picked doomfist |
| 17126s | on Circle Royale so maybe a different |
| 17128s | look in map to we'll see if it will be a |
| 17130s | different look at least that's what Hong |
| 17132s | Kong is looking for its match point for |
| 17134s | Thailand we'll see what happens on the |
| 17136s | other side of this |

| 17325s | Thailand riding on a high 10 in our |
| 17328s | series on Match Point of course |
| 17331s | highlight being high Vision Ace the DPS |
| 17334s | of Thailand putting on a show once again |
| 17337s | yeah you really just see the fire power |
| 17338s | that this Thailand squad has but not |
| 17340s | just the Firepower of the individual |
| 17342s | mechanics just the Synergy that they |
| 17344s | have have coming into this tournament a |
| 17346s | lot of other teams their players haven't |
| 17348s | had a lot of practice time together or |
| 17350s | they're just a hodg podge of different |
| 17352s | players and teams while there is just |
| 17354s | inherent you know just Synergy from |
| 17356s | playing so much in contenders that they |
| 17358s | can just translate to the World Cup |
| 17360s | stage and that caught Hong Kong off |
| 17362s | guard maybe Thailand felt like they had |
| 17365s | to change something too when Hong Kong |
| 17367s | started to come back in that second |
| 17368s | round where tiat was swapping from |
| 17371s | doomfist to Winston maybe to try to |
| 17373s | block some of the the heels and speaking |
| 17375s | of now changing things we're going to |
| 17377s | just change Tito wat Al together he's |
| 17379s | going to be swapped out for a cal Boon |
| 17382s | Cal bun whichever one you want to go |
| 17384s | with um he was an off tank player makes |
| 17386s | sense you're heading over to Circle |
| 17388s | Royale historically that's always been a |
| 17390s | sigma map it's a long range long |
| 17392s | sideline so you play snipers you play |
| 17394s | longrange DPS and sigma really stands up |
| 17397s | and assists that so much so caloon |
| 17399s | coming in we'll see if he's going to be |
| 17401s | able to sort of step up and throw |
| 17402s | another wrench in the Hong Kong PL but |
| 17404s | you have to think that Hong Kong have an |
| 17407s | idea and have a have a strategy around |
| 17409s | sending Thailand to this |
| 17411s | map yeah and sigma's pretty meta right |
| 17413s | now and I'm looking forward to the hit |
| 17416s | scan match up between the two we kind of |
| 17418s | just lightly touched on karumi versus |
| 17421s | Ace both of these players being |
| 17423s | highlights to their team where there was |
| 17425s | on the sojourn maybe we'll see some |
| 17426s | Widowmaker now that you have a maybe a |
| 17428s | Less Mobile tank like a sigma you don't |
| 17430s | have to worry about jumping back maybe |
| 17432s | you don't need the sojourn and you can |
| 17433s | go for something else |
| 17435s | not only that with the longrange hit |
| 17436s | scan right like I think that could be a |
| 17438s | good strategy if you're confident in |
| 17439s | your individual player but we've seen a |
| 17441s | lot of other teams most recently going |
| 17443s | over to the Bastion for that high damage |
| 17445s | output it really changes the way that |
| 17447s | you have to play as a sigma and as a |
| 17449s | team just because the amount of damage |
| 17451s | that can come out so maybe that's what |
| 17453s | karumi wants to go over to maybe they |
| 17455s | just have confidence in winning that 1 V |
| 17457s | one duel against Ace because as we said |
| 17459s | there's a lot of mutual respect but |
| 17461s | because they play in the same region |
| 17463s | they probably have a good feel for the |
| 17464s | skill level of each other player on the |
| 17466s | other opposite |
| 17468s | team yeah and support wise it was cool |
| 17470s | to see mangle the impact of his Nanos I |
| 17472s | think p on the other side is it P or uto |
| 17475s | the the Anna when they were throwing |
| 17477s | these huge anti-ad on the Hong Kong felt |
| 17479s | like the there were some issues |
| 17480s | following that up just with the lack of |
| 17481s | damage or just how the chaos was running |
| 17483s | down so it ended up being pretty close |
| 17485s | on the second round but we'll see now |
| 17487s | with Hong Kong's Choice how confident |
| 17489s | they feel on |
| 17490s | circuit yeah and that's that's really |
| 17494s | the big thing for these guys is |
| 17496s | confidence moving forward because you |
| 17497s | know we talked about how important this |
| 17499s | match was to win uh to just sort of |
| 17501s | hopefully get to that BlizzCon finals |
| 17503s | but there are only more difficult teams |
| 17505s | As you move forward there are some |
| 17507s | stacked teams to the teeth with |
| 17508s | OverWatch League you know we talk about |
| 17510s | China we talk about USA we talk about |
| 17513s | Korea but then you also have some of |
| 17514s | these other middle linger packs the |
| 17516s | other team in this group is Spain which |
| 17518s | are no sles either so there's always |
| 17520s | going to be more to sort of face and |
| 17523s | this has to be just sort of shaking off |
| 17524s | the nerves getting experience on land as |
| 17526s | well because Emily said a lot of these |
| 17528s | players have never played on a land |
| 17529s | environment before I know and then |
| 17531s | you're just sitting across the table of |
| 17534s | your opponent thankfully it's all |
| 17535s | friendly you know we're waving and stuff |
| 17537s | but who knows how that'll go um we're |
| 17539s | just going to take a quick break cuz we |
| 17541s | have a technical pause being called so |
| 17543s | we'll see you on the other side of |
| 17544s | whatever this |
| 17548s | [Music] |
| 17553s | is |
| 17560s | [Music] |
| 17606s | [Music] |
| 17613s | n |
| 17620s | [Music] |
| 17623s | oh I'm just so giddy to see all those |
| 17624s | OverWatch World Cup |
| 17626s | statues can't wait for the main event |
| 17628s | the players beat us there we so one of |
| 17630s | them got so excited to be there they |
| 17631s | went missing so hey sometimes you just |
| 17634s | got places to be in the middle of a |
| 17635s | match you got to go to the bathroom you |
| 17637s | got to get some air I don't know but hey |
| 17639s | it happens from time to time but I'm |
| 17641s | just like you lemon I'm so excited for |
| 17643s | this biscon for OverWatch World Cup to |
| 17645s | just be back in general it felt like |
| 17646s | such a staple of early OverWatch seeing |
| 17649s | everyone cheer for their country |
| 17651s | represent their country you know Pride |
| 17653s | always comes out at such a big level in |
| 17655s | Esports so hopefully we see that once |
| 17657s | again this year and I know a lot of |
| 17659s | Thailand including that new substitute |
| 17661s | of Calon that came in also from da |
| 17663s | Eastport Thailand actually held open |
| 17665s | tryy outs and we're like you know |
| 17667s | whoever is the best y'all decide and |
| 17669s | we'll put you on the team or at least |
| 17670s | we'll give you a try out and well a lot |
| 17672s | of these players May made it through |
| 17674s | that of course when you have great |
| 17676s | chemistry from daff esport that helps |
| 17678s | out a lot but yeah caloon will be coming |
| 17680s | in like we said as that Sigma player now |
| 17682s | that we have all our players in their |
| 17683s | seats we'll we'll see how he does okay |
| 17686s | we can cancel the the milk Cottons with |
| 17688s | the players's face on it you know we |
| 17689s | found them everybody calm down everyone |
| 17691s | give the coach away on the way out you |
| 17694s | know this is such respectful players and |
| 17696s | teams you know I know team Australia |
| 17698s | I've played for them I know how it's |
| 17699s | going people aren't that friendly to the |
| 17701s | coaches in in Australia but I respect it |
| 17703s | I respect the love that they show for |
| 17705s | their |
| 17706s | coaches they sometimes coaches are |
| 17709s | decorative |
| 17711s | but they're there for moral support and |
| 17713s | I love that for them um and you'll need |
| 17715s | all all the support they can get for |
| 17717s | circuit Royale coming up next and it's |
| 17718s | still match point for Thailand and and |
| 17721s | as the team said as Emily pointed out |
| 17722s | when she reported to us the teams have |
| 17724s | been so appreciative of just being back |
| 17726s | on the stage and getting support from |
| 17728s | everyone in the world not just from |
| 17730s | their country everyone is so stoked for |
| 17732s | World Cup to be back and |
| 17734s | me as well see how circuit Royale goes |
| 17737s | yeah and you know Thailand has always |
| 17738s | been a fan favorite obviously it it |
| 17740s | really started with Mickey for that team |
| 17743s | he was discovered a great player in the |
| 17745s | history of OverWatch was discovered in |
| 17747s | World Cup and that's that's something |
| 17748s | that makes World Cup special as well is |
| 17751s | this is a platform for a lot of these |
| 17752s | players to step onto the international |
| 17754s | stage and make a name for themselves of |
| 17756s | like hey I can play at this top level I |
| 17758s | can perform and that's what every player |
| 17760s | is sort of really here to do to prove |
| 17762s | that themselves as a in their country |
| 17764s | can play with the you and hang with the |
| 17767s | best teams in the world oh I know I miss |
| 17769s | the Mickey the pans of Thailand like the |
| 17772s | good days the good days hey the better |
| 17774s | days are here right uh so Thailand have |
| 17778s | chosen to opt for defense and it took a |
| 17780s | while to figure out this is the side |
| 17782s | they really wanted everyone's chilling |
| 17784s | on The High Ground on the left side kind |
| 17786s | of |
| 17787s | unconventional and interestingly enough |
| 17789s | you're going to see mango ji come out on |
| 17790s | the Zenyatta and this is a different |
| 17792s | pick to what we see from p for |
| 17794s | Thailand's going be Hong Kong with zeny |
| 17798s | with ORS and the but is going to |
| 17801s | individual healing because they have the |
| 17803s | packs they have the AE healing and |
| 17805s | shion's just going aggressive with that |
| 17806s | zenatta orb as well gives them that |
| 17808s | excess healing to be able to sort of go |
| 17810s | aggressive onto the Hanzo of high Vision |
| 17812s | yeah Shan is trying to harass that Hanzo |
| 17814s | as you said but here's a storm bow and |
| 17816s | just goes nah I don't want that smoke |
| 17817s | and you got to be so careful just one |
| 17819s | random head shot is just the end of that |
| 17821s | and this Thailand setup is also |
| 17823s | contesting the cart like the cycling of |
| 17826s | the shield and the Matrix there or the |
| 17827s | kinetic grasp from caloon Hong Kong will |
| 17830s | have to remove them by force CR 3K |
| 17833s | taking a counter position on the other |
| 17835s | side of the card finally enough spacing |
| 17836s | is given over and that card is running |
| 17838s | away and that's the problem of the tiine |
| 17840s | setup is that as soon as they can't |
| 17842s | contest the cart it's going to move away |
| 17843s | from them fortunately they do find the |
| 17845s | pick onto Shen but now mango they found |
| 17848s | the pick as well so all of a sudden with |
| 17850s | how far the spawns are for team Thailand |
| 17852s | Hong Kong will start to get it moving |
| 17854s | but High Vision has to be careful to |
| 17855s | stagger too much there goes jumps in |
| 17858s | falls down but this is really a great |
| 17860s | setup for Thailand because all of a |
| 17861s | sudden that's a lot of time off the |
| 17863s | clock that's a minute 20 which they did |
| 17865s | essentially a spawn Camp as long as Ace |
| 17867s | doesn't fall down that should give them |
| 17869s | the opportunity to get up ultimates and |
| 17871s | then hold this you know advantageous |
| 17872s | corner at the back here yeah when |
| 17875s | charlian and mango were on nguk I the |
| 17877s | whole Genji and sort of meta was a |
| 17880s | highlight for them they just kind of got |
| 17882s | beaten by just other is having more |
| 17884s | experience together as a team but this |
| 17887s | could be a map that favors Hong Kong |
| 17889s | especially mango chai on one of his more |
| 17891s | well-known Heroes but karumi is the one |
| 17893s | who also popped off hit scan wise on |
| 17895s | Samoa but he gets rocked in the face as |
| 17898s | I'm trying to Hype him up 14 HP in a |
| 17900s | dream you got sh and Nano going after |
| 17902s | Ace who just used the slide I think to |
| 17904s | get into that position so there's no |
| 17906s | escaping that TI land trying to fight |
| 17908s | back with the gravitic flux and I don't |
| 17910s | even know if caloon got anyone he's |
| 17912s | trying to cancel this responding gra and |
| 17914s | Hong Kong I think I've done more than |
| 17916s | enough to cap yeah the damage is done |
| 17919s | but there's still supports here for |
| 17921s | Thailand Shion goes with the blade to |
| 17922s | try and close it out and just falls down |
| 17926s | so all of a sudden Hong Kong looked like |
| 17928s | they had the advantage is eventually |
| 17930s | going to be thwarted you should see Kumi |
| 17932s | falling here and so far we talked about |
| 17935s | it why would Hong Kong go to this map |
| 17937s | they wanted to put karumi onto this |
| 17939s | Widowmaker but so far hasn't found any |
| 17941s | meaningful picks in this match up he |
| 17943s | going to need to find something because |
| 17945s | those were five ultimates from Hong Kong |
| 17947s | used to try and cap that point and now |
| 17949s | with a minute 15 remaining they have no |
| 17951s | ultimates remaining while Thailand they |
| 17952s | still have the overclock P has the rally |
| 17955s | it's going to be difficult for Hong Kong |
| 17956s | to fight into difficult when you used |
| 17958s | all the alt as you said I was like |
| 17960s | surely this is enough right five old |
| 17962s | equals Fight Win no apparently not oh |
| 17965s | that hurts as well and a head shot after |
| 17967s | head shot Ace in high Vision doing all |
| 17970s | the work and Hong Kong hope to escape |
| 17972s | with their lives still intact and look |
| 17974s | who's bashing in P's not done with them |
| 17977s | and Hong Kong have lost a lot of wind in |
| 17979s | their sails yeah and they didn't even |
| 17981s | have to use either of those ultimates |
| 17982s | the rally or the overclock to win that |
| 17985s | fight as well so now you're seeing SWS |
| 17986s | from Hong Kong with only 35 seconds |
| 17988s | remaining they're going to have to rush |
| 17990s | towards the point and Thailand are ready |
| 17991s | for this they're setting up a trap but |
| 17993s | AO falling early is huge yeah you fell |
| 17995s | for Hong Kong's trap green head shot to |
| 17997s | open things up and trying to punish |
| 18000s | Thailand but it's Ace that had the space |
| 18003s | it just F two like that and Hong Kong |
| 18006s | find themselves all reset again once |
| 18009s | again Hong Kong are going to have to |
| 18011s | make switches to get towards this cart |
| 18013s | r3k back onto the Wrecking Ball but you |
| 18016s | can just see Calvin is just holding the |
| 18017s | spawn doors you see the C says I'm on my |
| 18021s | way Hong Kong I'm coming put that thing |
| 18024s | in reverse and r3k can't touch in time |
| 18027s | Hong getting full weld on their map |
| 18029s | choice is not ideal yeah and as I said |
| 18033s | it just didn't feel like this strategy |
| 18035s | from Hong Kong ever came to fruition the |
| 18037s | Genji blade not able to find any value |
| 18040s | the Widowmaker from Kumi not able to hit |
| 18042s | the shots and Thailand just playing an |
| 18044s | exceptional game of understanding the |
| 18046s | strengths of their their setup they have |
| 18048s | more healing they slowed down the cart |
| 18050s | and then they won that big important |
| 18051s | fight so Thailand just once again |
| 18053s | proving that they are a very strong team |
| 18056s | with that Synergy with a pretty deep |
| 18058s | Playbook so far in this match just great |
| 18061s | spacing from Thailand when they see the |
| 18063s | the wave of ultimates coming your way |
| 18065s | you do not want to face the sun head on |
| 18067s | so Thailand move up the road respect |
| 18070s | that and then we're able to engage back |
| 18073s | into them with their own ultimates and |
| 18075s | then it does you know it helps a lot |
| 18076s | when high vision and Ace are getting |
| 18077s | head shot and with how important DPS uh |
| 18080s | their impact is on a map like circuit |
| 18082s | Royale you choose this map because you |
| 18084s | have faith in your DPS and Thailand oh |
| 18088s | we get to see what Ace is up to oh this |
| 18089s | is that double kill yeah and that was |
| 18092s | the flanking bre of as well you know we |
| 18093s | didn't call it out the M but p goes I |
| 18096s | have rally I have 300 health and I am |
| 18098s | unkillable in walking at you and that |
| 18099s | just gives Ace the space to be able to |
| 18102s | just walk out get those multiple kills |
| 18104s | and that's what I'm talking about with |
| 18106s | that understanding of a strategy and a |
| 18108s | Playbook they've obviously practiced |
| 18110s | that in the past they knew exactly how |
| 18111s | they wanted to execute it and against |
| 18113s | teams like Hong Kong who don't really |
| 18116s | react in the correct way all the time it |
| 18118s | can catch them off guard in a big wayy |
| 18120s | back on the Widow and remember I was |
| 18122s | telling you I was like so Jordan like |
| 18124s | you don't need the jump because |
| 18125s | nothing's going to be engaging into you |
| 18126s | Ace is like no I'm jumping in I'm going |
| 18129s | in with this jump and I hope my rank |
| 18131s | teammates are not learning anything from |
| 18132s | this but karumi wanted to line up that |
| 18135s | head shot failed both times now mango ji |
| 18138s | is removed and honkong can't afford to |
| 18140s | lose fights yeah and they can't lose any |
| 18142s | more players from here as well you can |
| 18143s | see the C moving forward the Hanzo Shan |
| 18146s | might get caught on this statue right |
| 18147s | here he's trying to make the run away |
| 18149s | but he's just getting split off by the |
| 18151s | rest of the Thailand team and now Alan |
| 18153s | Falls can Thailand keep the pressure |
| 18155s | going if they find another pick there |
| 18157s | might not even be a defense by Hong Kong |
| 18159s | yeah shalan should have disengaged way |
| 18161s | earlier the statue is such a hard |
| 18163s | position to get out of and H is says I'm |
| 18166s | it's the portal combat time Thailand |
| 18168s | sailing away box of victory in sight |
| 18171s | calbo is heading for the spawn room |
| 18173s | doors to knock on the doors of Hong Kong |
| 18176s | just to wave goodbye in the end Thailand |
| 18180s | take the series 20 and Thailand just |
| 18183s | proving that they are the better team |
| 18185s | Hong Kong just not able to do anything |
| 18188s | especially on that Circ we saw some |
| 18190s | signs of light on Samoa but Circ Royale |
| 18193s | that was Thailand's playground and for |
| 18195s | me the most impressive thing is they |
| 18197s | have an effective dive but they can also |
| 18199s | play the sigma at a higher level they |
| 18201s | have great hit scan players this might |
| 18202s | be a much more versatile team than some |
| 18204s | of these other teams in the OverWatch |
| 18205s | World Cup so far and also using Cal Boon |
| 18209s | what ended up being a boon for their |
| 18210s | team considering you just needed a sigma |
| 18213s | to be that pillar that bully at the |
| 18215s | front that's exactly what he did gave |
| 18217s | more than enough space for his team to |
| 18219s | move forward and take the shots that |
| 18221s | they needed it was shaan that maybe |
| 18223s | overstayed his welcome there on the Hong |
| 18224s | Kong side over on the Statue trying so |
| 18227s | desperately to get a trading blow once |
| 18229s | they lost mango chai didn't get that |
| 18231s | that pick Kumi to went for two jump |
| 18233s | shots missed both and those are |
| 18235s | opportunities that Hong Kong needed to |
| 18237s | execute on yeah Hong Kong just you could |
| 18240s | see the idea of their strategy really |
| 18242s | just relying on the mechanics of their |
| 18244s | players to just hit those shots and |
| 18246s | sometimes those shots just never get hit |
| 18248s | and when you have a brg of the I guess |
| 18251s | suicidal nature of the of P just running |
| 18254s | into the backline getting his one just |
| 18256s | putting that pressure for the rest of |
| 18257s | his team all a sudden that just opens up |
| 18260s | so many doors and Hong Kong |
| 18262s | unfortunately fall and now they have a |
| 18264s | ways to go if they are going to make it |
| 18266s | out of these groups it's going to be a |
| 18268s | tough road ahead but I like you said |
| 18269s | that this is opening doors which this is |
| 18272s | what World Cup is all about putting |
| 18274s | these countries on a map they're already |
| 18275s | on a map but you know what I mean |
| 18276s | showcasing them to the audience and |
| 18279s | everyone gets to be in person very soon |
| 18281s | for the main event and well let's see |
| 18284s | how the desk feels also about their |
| 18286s | predictions they're happy they're sad |
| 18288s | but how about now what do you think |
| 18291s | so oh lemon we're always happy aren't we |
| 18295s | here on the desk Danny and Johnny |
| 18296s | joining me for this one another great |
| 18299s | match in the books and another |
| 18301s | opportunity for us to highlight some of |
| 18302s | the players we got to see as absolute |
| 18305s | standouts so let's dive straight into |
| 18307s | the highlights for this one Johnny what |
| 18309s | and who did you see well I mean it was a |
| 18312s | pretty pretty pretty easy match here for |
| 18315s | team Thailand and obviously they played |
| 18316s | the slow composition on circuit real but |
| 18318s | it started out with the doomfist matchup |
| 18320s | right between t tiat who is this |
| 18322s | experienced veteran again fourth time |
| 18325s | participating here in the OverWatch |
| 18327s | World Cup right um but really it it was |
| 18329s | a bit of a skill diff here because team |
| 18331s | Thailand they are so efficient when it |
| 18332s | comes to these compe positions Ace for |
| 18333s | example on the sold did a great job um |
| 18336s | so I think we'll see more of this from |
| 18337s | Team Thailand moving forward to be quite |
| 18339s | honest with you I don't think they're |
| 18340s | going to slow slow down after this match |
| 18342s | up it all so uh great first showing here |
| 18344s | for team Thailand yeah I also agree and |
| 18347s | also I think uh something that L and |
| 18348s | custa said I I totally agree with I |
| 18350s | think it was the pre-existing Synergy |
| 18352s | for team Thailand that really got them |
| 18354s | to win you know they were all on the |
| 18356s | same page and yeah they were very |
| 18358s | coordinated and you know I think it was |
| 18360s | all of that really come into fruition to |
| 18362s | take the win for team Thailand I mean to |
| 18365s | add on as well I mean this group is |
| 18367s | pretty wide open because we all know |
| 18368s | that China the team from China is |
| 18371s | probably the favorite here in group C |
| 18373s | but then like who's going to make second |
| 18374s | place is going to be Hong Kong or Spain |
| 18377s | Spain had a really good showing in the |
| 18378s | European qualifiers but it it could be |
| 18381s | Thailand who makes it out second in this |
| 18383s | group and this was a great first show |
| 18385s | Absolutely and I I was also just very |
| 18387s | excited to see some of those players |
| 18388s | like mango showing up again on that Zen |
| 18391s | he is known as a bit of a Flex God in |
| 18393s | Pacific region so it was great to see |
| 18396s | him back on uh in action after his |
| 18398s | retirement now unfortunately Hong Kong |
| 18400s | taking the first L and Thailand is |
| 18402s | feeling pretty good about their first |
| 18404s | showing here in the OR World Cup |
| 18406s | 2023 I am very very excited to see where |
| 18409s | this group is taking us and uh we got |
| 18412s | another match coming your way it's going |
| 18415s | to be the last one of the day it going |
| 18416s | to be Colombia and South Korea let's see |
| 18419s | what both of those teams have to bring |
| 18421s | to the table after this |
| 18424s | [Music] |

| 18622s | let's get ready for the last match of |
| 18624s | the day as South Korea will be facing |
| 18626s | off against Colombia we going to find |
| 18629s | out who's going to come out on top of |
| 18631s | this last mat in just a little bit but |
| 18633s | first let's set the stage Danny and |
| 18636s | Johnny here to give you all the insight |
| 18637s | about both of those teams and who they |
| 18639s | think is going to take the W I'm excited |
| 18642s | for this one I'm excited to see both |
| 18644s | teams clashing so let's look at Colombia |
| 18647s | first here definitely the underdog |
| 18649s | heading into this this is another roster |
| 18651s | with last minute changes announcing just |
| 18652s | nine days ago that their star player |
| 18654s | eeko will not be able to join them here |
| 18657s | in the US and Siri I'm not sure if I |
| 18659s | pronounced that correctly which was |
| 18661s | initially their coach actually replaces |
| 18664s | uh EO now so Johnny that's quite a mixup |
| 18666s | or change up rather uh heading into |
| 18668s | their first match yeah look like you you |
| 18671s | you can't beat R the bush it's going to |
| 18672s | have an enormous impact on team |
| 18674s | Columbia's chances here at the World Cup |
| 18677s | like they did have a really good |
| 18678s | performance in the qualifiers but eqo |
| 18680s | was their standout player obviously tons |
| 18682s | of experience competing in OverWatch |
| 18684s | before in the OverWatch World Cup in |
| 18686s | fact but as well in you know some of the |
| 18688s | better uh tournaments in the Pro scene |
| 18691s | right so miss out on eqo is going to |
| 18693s | take a big hit here on team Columbia but |
| 18695s | at the end of the day look I think team |
| 18697s | Columbia I think they're happy they made |
| 18698s | it so far here through the group stages |
| 18700s | and potentially you know get to |
| 18701s | experience blon here later this week but |
| 18703s | you're facing off against South Korea I |
| 18705s | mean |
| 18707s | o yeah I mean it's it's going to be a |
| 18710s | tough uphill battle for Colombia because |
| 18712s | they are going up against team South |
| 18714s | Korea look at this lineup you know it's |
| 18716s | we got Fearless on tank Sparkle lip on |
| 18718s | DPS Fielder and Chio this is like the |
| 18721s | Superstar overall watch League team and |
| 18723s | that is team South Korea I think you |
| 18726s | know I could AR I think it's safe to say |
| 18728s | that you know all of these players are |
| 18730s | probably one of the best players in the |
| 18732s | respective roles like you know the Chio |
| 18734s | that we're seeing is a great main |
| 18735s | support player and he along with Fielder |
| 18738s | as well they have been playing uh |
| 18741s | together for a very long time and |
| 18742s | actually all of these players have |
| 18744s | played with one another at least once uh |
| 18747s | in their professional career they were |
| 18748s | all uh playing in Dallas Fiel they've |
| 18750s | also played in Atlanta some of them |
| 18752s | playing play in Atlanta rain as well so |
| 18754s | they not only are they mechanically |
| 18756s | really talented they also got the |
| 18758s | Synergy as well so I don't know I think |
| 18761s | I think it's going to be sort of an easy |
| 18764s | sweet like ice cream that I just saw |
| 18766s | from uh soe uh it's going to be it's |
| 18769s | going to be a sweet match for team South |
| 18770s | Korea was that an ice |
| 18773s | cream ice cream you're eating ice cream |
| 18775s | in between when we're showing graphics |
| 18777s | and highlights and stuff I thought the |
| 18779s | last a lot longer I thought the last |
| 18781s | match would have gone long so I opened |
| 18783s | an ice cream and I tossed the the |
| 18785s | package and then I couldn't set it down |
| 18786s | and I don't want it's melting so I tried |
| 18789s | to eat fast but then I got tricked |
| 18790s | because the the cone is a cookies I |
| 18793s | can't just that cone is very thick it's |
| 18795s | so that's a very thick cone so I tried |
| 18798s | to hide it but then it it started to |
| 18800s | melt so I had anyway I'm very excited |
| 18802s | for this upcoming match uh obviously if |
| 18805s | you're looking at the South Korea roster |
| 18807s | it's star studed but still a fun fact |
| 18809s | none of these players have actually been |
| 18810s | playing in O World Cup PRI to this one |
| 18813s | um they're coming to clean it up you |
| 18815s | know in 2019 the last Awards World Cup |
| 18818s | unfortunately South Korea did not manage |
| 18821s | to grab that title again they came third |
| 18823s | so they want a redeem the name of their |
| 18826s | country let's see if they can get it |
| 18827s | done one victory at a time and I think |
| 18830s | this one has got to be theirs if we're |
| 18831s | looking at the prediction I think this |
| 18833s | is going to be a very convincing victory |
| 18834s | for South Korea what about you |
| 18839s | dny let's go South Korea woohoo tell go |
| 18843s | yeah what that he said two South Korea |
| 18845s | There It |
| 18847s | Is Well we hope to see a banger of a |
| 18850s | match regardless uh also of course as |
| 18852s | always we're very excited to see some um |
| 18855s | people playing that we don't know that |
| 18857s | much about from Colombia for example |
| 18859s | this is where stars are being made and |
| 18861s | they have everything to play for not |
| 18863s | just Fame and Fortune no a lot of |
| 18866s | Fortune actually because there's price |
| 18868s | pool and all of that is growing Fortune |
| 18871s | every some Fortune we don't know what |
| 18873s | Fortune though because it's growing by |
| 18875s | the second by the minutes every time you |
| 18877s | get one of those bundles you are |
| 18878s | actively contributing to the price pool |
| 18881s | for the O World Cup which is just so |
| 18883s | very exciting I love crowdfunding I love |
| 18885s | to see the passion and support on |
| 18887s | display by the numbers so make sure to |
| 18890s | do your part um in the process you can |
| 18892s | grab yourself those beautiful skins and |
| 18894s | some other goodies as well which come in |

| 18913s | day after |

| 19147s | [Music] |
| 19170s | now |
| 19176s | it's time for our last match of the day |
| 19179s | the boys in yellow blue and red are |
| 19181s | facing the boys in in blue and red it's |
| 19183s | harder to say when there's multiple |
| 19185s | colors but Columbia versus South Korea |
| 19186s | is I I'm just glad that Australia |
| 19189s | doesn't have to go well they will well |
| 19191s | they did actually today against Brazil |
| 19193s | those colors are so similar if you see |
| 19195s | them on jerseys on stage they're pretty |
| 19196s | much the same thing but as you said a |
| 19198s | little bit of differentiating factors |
| 19200s | and now team Columbia has trial by fire |
| 19203s | in their first land match against South |
| 19205s | Korea oh they're being thrown right into |
| 19208s | the fire but uh Emily actually has heard |
| 19211s | from Colombia so let's see what they |
| 19212s | have to say yes thank you so much you |
| 19215s | guys my cat is biting me right now so we |
| 19220s | had a chance to catch up with Team |
| 19222s | Colombia before the game and I asked |
| 19225s | what are some challenges you'll think |
| 19226s | you'll face against Korea and they said |
| 19229s | everything Korea is a very disciplined |
| 19232s | and coordinate team so it'll be hard to |
| 19234s | capitalize off any mistakes they made |
| 19236s | and what are some things that Colombia |
| 19239s | admires or for uh admires from what |
| 19241s | they've seen from Korea and they said |
| 19243s | their dedication to the game Korea came |
| 19246s | super prepared and they really put their |
| 19248s | 110% into every move so coming into the |
| 19252s | OverWatch World Cup they did a lot of |
| 19255s | team bonding exercises you I think they |
| 19256s | feel pretty good about themselves but |
| 19258s | it's hard to be super confident since |
| 19261s | they're player eql wasn't able to come |
| 19264s | but they're going to give it their best |
| 19265s | and hope to just make all of their fans |
| 19268s | and Country proud they wanted to say |
| 19271s | that um we love you so much thank you |
| 19273s | for all of the support and Viva |
| 19276s | Colombia o thank you so much em thank |
| 19280s | you so much um it's great to hear the |
| 19283s | passion out of Team Colombia um this |
| 19287s | especially is a region close to my heart |
| 19289s | because my very first contenders region |
| 19291s | was contenders South America where |
| 19293s | drummer and Cersei their careers really |
| 19295s | blossomed and I know with the uh with |
| 19298s | contenders South America missing there |
| 19300s | were this is such a competitive region |
| 19301s | with Brazil Argentina Colombia Etc this |
| 19304s | is a team with so much passion but so |
| 19306s | much love for each other and the game |
| 19308s | that it's great to see him still here |
| 19310s | and you know Colombia they went 5 and0 |
| 19312s | in the groups to qualify for this top 16 |
| 19315s | group stage and they proved that they |
| 19317s | were one of the best countries in the |
| 19319s | South American region and it does you |
| 19322s | know suck that EO isn't able to be able |
| 19324s | to show up and sort of compete with them |
| 19326s | because he was that sort of leadership |
| 19328s | role he has a lot of experience playing |
| 19330s | against you know the league level |
| 19332s | players and now they have to go up |
| 19334s | against some of the best players to ever |
| 19336s | play this game right you talk about how |
| 19338s | you know Cersei and a couple of these |
| 19339s | other players have played in the World |
| 19341s | Cup in the past a lot of these South |
| 19343s | Korean players they are players that |
| 19345s | they're the new generation none of them |
| 19347s | have ever played in the World Cup in the |
| 19348s | past but they've already Pro proven |
| 19350s | themselves on the international St page |
| 19352s | yeah and players like drummer and Cersei |
| 19354s | uh played for team Columbia last well |
| 19358s | last last World Cup I should say back in |
| 19360s | 2019 so yes eqo frees up that seat but |
| 19364s | maybe for a new star to shine we start |
| 19366s | on booon as our neutral first map on |
| 19368s | control and the loser picks the next one |
| 19370s | so I know everyone is looking at South |
| 19374s | Korea to be the team to beat and maybe |
| 19377s | this is too big of a giant for Colombia |
| 19379s | to take down but it it's also a nice |
| 19382s | idea to see what is the meta going to be |
| 19384s | for a team like South Korea how far can |
| 19387s | their run really go and is there any |
| 19389s | weaknesses going to be shown in this |
| 19390s | first match and you we didn't really get |
| 19392s | a a great gauge on how good the South |
| 19394s | Korean roster was in the initial |
| 19396s | qualifiers because of just the sheer |
| 19398s | Talent they have on their roster they |
| 19400s | was kind of messing around playing some |
| 19402s | off rolls playing some strange Heroes so |
| 19404s | I think they're going to take it a |
| 19405s | little bit more seriously now and we |
| 19407s | will get that first gauge of these |
| 19409s | players because as much as there is some |
| 19411s | historical play from you know South |
| 19412s | Korea they have you know they had a lot |
| 19415s | of players who were part of the Dallas |
| 19416s | field 2022 championship and then you |
| 19418s | know a couple of players from the |
| 19419s | Atlanta rign like these guys are sort of |
| 19422s | a hodg podge of a lot of different teams |
| 19424s | in the past but we know how talented |
| 19426s | they are and now columia is going to |
| 19427s | have to face that Synergy with FIS in |
| 19430s | his first as well I'm curious to see |
| 19432s | what career is going to |
| 19433s | run yeah especially on Mecha base first |
| 19436s | Colombia um from what we know only |
| 19438s | drummer and Cersei have contenders |
| 19440s | experience but like I said before it is |
| 19442s | so hard to get on a team in Contender |
| 19444s | South America back in the day when |
| 19445s | you're competing against you know I |
| 19447s | would say the best region being Brazil |
| 19449s | when it comes to South America Colombia |
| 19451s | Argentina have been up there but they |
| 19454s | they are players they are people that |
| 19455s | play with so much fire in their soul and |
| 19457s | it's great to see them here they're |
| 19459s | going to be on the orisa which we'll see |
| 19461s | if the spears will be enough to lock |
| 19462s | down Fearless so Columbia is going to |
| 19464s | want to move together as a unit play |
| 19466s | tight and utilize the healing of the |
| 19468s | Lucio and the Baptist while Korea |
| 19469s | they're just going to be looking to find |
| 19471s | individual picks find a punch get the |
| 19473s | empowered punch and you can see the |
| 19475s | backline of South Korea just sort of |
| 19477s | rotating around but hug is the first one |
| 19479s | to fall the field up the backline |
| 19481s | evaporates and sparkles behind there on |
| 19484s | one of his signature Heroes so that's |
| 19485s | when you know that South Korea is just |
| 19488s | not messing around and with a Flawless |
| 19491s | first fight at that South Korea will get |
| 19493s | the cap first yeah South Korea |
| 19495s | absolutely not messing around with this |
| 19496s | composition playing it flawlessly |
| 19498s | Colombia just weren't even close to |
| 19500s | closing the distance into the they fall |
| 19504s | is going to over to the themselves maybe |
| 19508s | a little bit of an off angle put some |
| 19509s | more pressure out but they have to get |
| 19510s | out of these doors |
| 19512s | first okay trying to Juke and go through |
| 19515s | the opposite door maybe running after li |
| 19517s | who already sees that fire coming so |
| 19520s | disengages that's a big anti- Throne by |
| 19522s | Fielder look who comes charging in it's |
| 19524s | Sparkle on the dup darista tossing as |
| 19527s | col just Ming through a nightmare that |
| 19530s | is a huge |
| 19532s | teris and Korea or South Korea wiped the |
| 19535s | floor with them yeah South Korea and |
| 19537s | Sparkle specifically doing a great job |
| 19539s | going very early stuffing Colombia and |
| 19541s | once Sparkle got that Terror surge it |
| 19544s | was over there's nothing Colombia can do |
| 19545s | stuck in a small room so now South Korea |
| 19548s | with only one ultimate able to win |
| 19549s | another team fight as Colombia tries the |
| 19551s | same door once again it's crazy that the |
| 19553s | first ultimate in the game is Sparkle of |
| 19555s | course when he does that much work in |
| 19556s | the backline Columbia will have to watch |
| 19558s | their backs but now they're watching The |
| 19560s | High Ground looking at Sparkle up there |
| 19562s | forcing flight out Fearless can jump up |
| 19564s | from behind he's got the nano two |
| 19567s | drummer's got his best sneakers on try |
| 19569s | to run away but he's not looking behind |
| 19571s | him and he's going to pay dearly for |
| 19573s | that super Gomez on the Sissa has been |
| 19575s | looking in front just frontlining |
| 19577s | bulldozing everything but not really |
| 19580s | looking at the flankers South Korea I |
| 19582s | don't even know if they had a death yet |
| 19584s | yeah we did just see CH fall but it |
| 19586s | feels like f has an invisibility cloak |
| 19588s | on as he's just running down drummer on |
| 19590s | the soldier cuz they can't spend their |
| 19592s | time wasting shooting at the doomfist |
| 19594s | because there's just too much damage |
| 19596s | coming up from the Echo and the soldier |
| 19597s | so columia is playing it correctly they |
| 19599s | just haven't been able to execute and |
| 19601s | that's it's going to be difficult |
| 19602s | against the Calibur players of South |
| 19604s | Korea they're just putting out so much |
| 19606s | damage now 93% in counting ultimate's |
| 19608s | coming up for Columbia this has to be |
| 19609s | the time but h |
| 19611s | b you lost your main healer immediately |
| 19614s | the South air of mixb evaporates and |
| 19617s | Columbia didn't even have a chance to |
| 19618s | use their ultimates before the fight is |
| 19620s | just gone |
| 19621s | you had to try and bait South Korea |
| 19623s | towards you with the blizzard but South |
| 19625s | Korea just won with range damage only |
| 19628s | and now it's what shio's second death |
| 19629s | way to go Chio way to drag the team down |
| 19632s | 100 to zero ends for South Korean on |
| 19634s | Mega base he chio's just giving Columbia |
| 19636s | a little bit of confidence you know get |
| 19637s | give them an opportunity to sort of like |
| 19639s | Fu out the land and I think that is an |
| 19642s | important takeaway here for Colombia as |
| 19644s | their players you know sit down in this |
| 19646s | first match is just get comfortable |
| 19648s | shake off some of those nerves there |
| 19649s | isn't that big expectation that you're |
| 19651s | going to be able to winth Korea the |
| 19653s | matches that you need to win are against |
| 19655s | Mexico and Finland in your next two |
| 19656s | matches so this is a great opportunity |
| 19659s | to get a feel for everything get a feel |
| 19661s | for playing on land get your colums in |
| 19662s | order because you're playing on new |
| 19664s | deaths you're playing all that type of |
| 19665s | stuff they obviously have a clear |
| 19667s | strategy of wanting to play this aisle |
| 19668s | or now switching over to the sigma they |
| 19670s | want to play as a union unit they don't |
| 19672s | want to be playing that dive style was |
| 19674s | just how fast South Korea are playing |
| 19676s | Columbia have to be ready to counter |
| 19677s | rotate which we saw some inklings of on |
| 19680s | Mecha base but now on Sanctuary they'll |
| 19682s | have to do even more running which I'm |
| 19684s | sure that's why drummer is on the |
| 19685s | soldier to begin with but with Cersei on |
| 19687s | the May who are you hoping to isolate |
| 19691s | especially this blizzard is it going to |
| 19692s | have the value they hope for or is it |
| 19694s | going to be towards Fearless can you |
| 19696s | even get close to Fielder and shio for |
| 19698s | now the battle of the hit scans on the |
| 19700s | pack side but drummer is gone mixv |
| 19703s | switches over to the alari to sort of |
| 19705s | give themselves more damage they're |
| 19706s | trying to play slow but felis sniffs out |
| 19708s | that flank and as soon as he heads over |
| 19710s | there to help out lip there's just |
| 19712s | nothing that the Colombian Squad can do |
| 19714s | and that's going to be a decisive first |
| 19716s | fight win for South |
| 19717s | Korea least Columbia got in the right |
| 19720s | position on the pack side but yeah lip |
| 19722s | versus drammer that is a tough match up |
| 19724s | to go up against oh I think there's a |
| 19726s | lot of tough match up when you face this |
| 19727s | South Korea Squad they have the best |
| 19729s | support line in the world they have the |
| 19731s | best DPS plays in the line in the world |
| 19732s | and they have felis and hanin as story |
| 19735s | tank doo in the past of OverWatch one to |
| 19737s | face off against there is no easy match |
| 19739s | up against this South Korean R ooh hug |
| 19742s | and mix you're just dead and I didn't |
| 19744s | even see where they were I think they |
| 19745s | were trying to stay in L of super Gomez |
| 19747s | Who obviously wants to play aggressively |
| 19749s | to make the space of course but South |
| 19752s | Korea are just not letting them breathe |
| 19754s | at all yeah they're just being so |
| 19756s | oppressive that's why Columbia did |
| 19758s | switch over to this doomfist trying to |
| 19759s | give themselves some more space maybe |
| 19761s | can play a little bit faster just need |
| 19763s | to try and keep that backline alive you |
| 19765s | can see how far away hug has to play |
| 19767s | they're just so terrified of stepping up |
| 19769s | into the Trap of South Korea |
| 19771s | all right Columbia managed to sneak |
| 19773s | through the right side but super Gomez |
| 19775s | is taking a lot of damage reconnecting |
| 19777s | there with hog is a good start not |
| 19779s | getting first blooded is good and |
| 19780s | Sparkle duplicates the Tracer also one |
| 19782s | of his better heroes Super go gets |
| 19785s | punched off as he was trying to L away |
| 19787s | and fearless meteor strikes into the |
| 19789s | supports South Korea are Relentless |
| 19792s | Silver Lining |
| 19794s | what okay Sparkle having a little bit of |
| 19796s | troll trying to take Fielder down but |
| 19798s | can't do it but silver lining for |
| 19800s | Columbia that three ultimates from South |
| 19801s | Korea but mix takes a toe out of the |
| 19804s | spawn door and gets absolutely |
| 19806s | obliterated as now field is taking |
| 19808s | names okay miby is still missing so hog |
| 19811s | is the only healer in the Nano maybe |
| 19813s | could have been thrown to Super Gomez |
| 19814s | while he was just while in the thick of |
| 19816s | it but if Columbia supports can't leave |
| 19818s | spawn there's a bigger problem to |
| 19820s | address yeah and that's the problem is |
| 19822s | they they can't even get into a clean |
| 19823s | fight hugs just in a corner against the |
| 19826s | Nano feelers doomfist 95% in counting is |
| 19829s | anyone going to even be a to get close |
| 19831s | to touch doesn't seem like it and South |
| 19834s | Korea easy as it can be for them |
| 19838s | 200 and one of the things we wanted to |
| 19841s | see in this match is are there any |
| 19843s | weaknesses to South Korea can Colombia |
| 19846s | win a fight how do they talk to each |
| 19848s | other how do they coordinate when |
| 19850s | they're constantly on the back foot and |
| 19851s | we both know that control the first |
| 19852s | fight is so important who is defending |
| 19854s | who is attacking and Colombia having |
| 19856s | issues just getting out of Spawn having |
| 19858s | to make space and they have to deal with |
| 19861s | flankers of South Korea constantly it's |
| 19863s | it's a true test facing these players |
| 19865s | and you can see Cersei as a person on |
| 19867s | your left here for team Columbia trying |
| 19868s | to work out what map you go to you |
| 19870s | scratch your chin what map gives us the |
| 19873s | best opportunity to win a map and he's |
| 19877s | he's thinking he's trying and cooking |
| 19879s | but it's going to be difficult obviously |
| 19881s | on escort and hybrid there's |
| 19882s | opportunities to play your own style but |
| 19885s | with the flexibility of the South Korean |
| 19887s | roster it's it's going to be a |
| 19888s | challenge yeah just a remind that map |
| 19891s | two can be escort or hybrid so I'm sure |
| 19893s | Cersei is is crossing out everybody |
| 19897s | every map that he can but Mecha base was |
| 19900s | so disgusting from Sparkle who generated |
| 19902s | the first ultimate of the game of the |
| 19904s | duplicate running them over with the |
| 19906s | Tera surge like sparkle was easily my |
| 19909s | MVP of round one oh absolutely Sparkle |
| 19912s | was Flawless in this mountain this this |
| 19914s | teror surge was just nasty as soon as he |
| 19916s | popped that one it's like where do you |
| 19917s | go from there triple kill Terror surge |
| 19919s | unconventional ultimate to get that many |
| 19921s | that much value but then felis on the |
| 19923s | doomfist as well one of his picks that |
| 19925s | he's just been exceptional at lately |
| 19927s | just winning that di of the doomfist |
| 19929s | against super Gomez and you're not even |
| 19932s | safe if you're a support and I feel that |
| 19933s | you're not safe in spawn You're Not Safe |
| 19935s | behind a wall but how will you do on |
| 19938s | this next map this is Colombia's choice |
| 19941s | and with a 200 o statement from South |
| 19943s | Korea I'm sure there's you just got to |
| 19945s | go to the map that you are the most |
| 19947s | confident in and for Colombia that's |
| 19949s | blizzard world yeah but you know it's |
| 19951s | difficult to know why they want to go to |
| 19953s | Blizzard well hopefully we'll see some |
| 19955s | signs of what they want to play it seems |
| 19957s | like they want to play that clumped up |
| 19959s | style with the Arisa the Lucio Baptist |
| 19961s | and trying to counter diive that of |
| 19963s | South Korea didn't work well on Busan |
| 19965s | maybe it'll work better on blizzard |
| 19967s | World we'll see if the power of |
| 19969s | friendship will help Colombia on this |
| 19972s | next map stay tuned after the |
| 19977s | [Music] |
| 19979s | break |
| 19981s | [Music] |
| 20012s | [Music] |

| 20126s | [Music] |
| 20164s | team South Korea are up 1 on Match Point |
| 20167s | against Columbia burying them uh 6 feet |
| 20170s | under after how Busan went but hey it's |
| 20172s | Colombia's choice now see where they |
| 20174s | want to go yeah it was blizzard world |
| 20176s | and they have a substitute too to help |
| 20177s | out yeah you know there's there's |
| 20179s | substitutions coming from both sides you |
| 20181s | know it's both teams just sort of |
| 20183s | getting a feel for themselves we're |
| 20184s | going to have hanin come in you know |
| 20186s | it's pretty nice to have the luxury of |
| 20188s | having Fus play a world class Doom and |
| 20190s | take them out and put hum in it maybe |
| 20193s | we'll see the South Korea play a more |
| 20195s | traditional St to what a lot of other |
| 20196s | teams have been playing with the sigur |
| 20198s | and the Bastion we know this is a |
| 20200s | composition that was very popular in the |
| 20201s | OverWatch League just |
| 20203s | recently I almost don't recognize |
| 20205s | Sparkle without his glasses on I think I |
| 20206s | was like that doesn't look like him but |
| 20208s | why it's like glasses but here's the |
| 20211s | lineup once again we have some subs and |
| 20213s | changes on the Columbia side happy alono |
| 20215s | on tank and super Gomez has moved over |
| 20217s | to DPS over Cersei Cersei as the coach |
| 20220s | has benched themselves you know like you |
| 20223s | know what I don't think I I was cut in |
| 20225s | the mustard it's time to bench myself |
| 20227s | put someone in and obviously just giving |
| 20229s | people as much uh opportunity to play as |
| 20231s | well and you know see if Colombia maybe |
| 20234s | this sub is the secret source that they |
| 20235s | needed to sort of get the advantage over |
| 20237s | South Korea I'd be shocked if it is but |
| 20239s | you never |
| 20240s | know yeah with the doomfist differential |
| 20243s | that existed on bus hopefully we're |
| 20246s | going to see something different on |
| 20247s | bozzer World at least Colombia that's |
| 20248s | what they're hoping for with hin in the |
| 20251s | lineup I'm sure we go to Blizzard world |
| 20253s | where well the meta has been so |
| 20255s | different in World Cup obviously since |
| 20257s | OverWatch League finals but it's also |
| 20259s | depending on what the team's preferences |
| 20262s | are yeah and in general in the World Cup |
| 20265s | this used to be historical thing back in |
| 20266s | the day is like teams they don't have |
| 20268s | these robust rosters a lot of these |
| 20271s | teams generally just play to their own |
| 20273s | strengths you know we saw Australia they |
| 20275s | wanted to play copper on the Reinhardt |
| 20276s | cuz that's where they feel comfortable |
| 20278s | we've seen other teams wanting to play |
| 20280s | they don't want to play Sigma there |
| 20281s | isn't going to be a standardized meta |
| 20283s | for the rest of this OverWatch World Cup |
| 20286s | because teams just want to play to their |
| 20287s | own strengths and that's how you find |
| 20289s | these advantages because not only are |
| 20291s | you play to your own strengths it can be |
| 20293s | difficult for other teams to know how to |
| 20295s | play against you because every team and |
| 20296s | every player plays a different |
| 20299s | one oh we just heard from our Insider |
| 20303s | unknown um that team South Korea are |
| 20305s | going to play a a Las seraphim Strat of |
| 20308s | Diva Tracer somra break here it go so wa |
| 20312s | yo can we give them all the Skins as |
| 20313s | well let's just let's just find a way to |
| 20316s | give them access and we'll just play the |
| 20317s | music video over the the entire gameplay |
| 20319s | the whole time honestly you can mute us |
| 20321s | at this point and you can just do that |
| 20323s | and I'd be okay with it I play the song |
| 20325s | on repeat oh I'm so excited to see them |
| 20327s | in person it's going to be awesome um |
| 20329s | are columia going to be excited to see |
| 20331s | those Heroes on the other side maybe |
| 20333s | maybe they're |
| 20334s | counterable it could be a good strategy |
| 20336s | honestly that composition isn't too bad |
| 20339s | you got r k on the backline you got you |
| 20342s | know Sombra Tracer it it can work Diva |
| 20345s | on the tank Haring can do it if anyone |
| 20347s | can do it it's going to be Harin so I |
| 20349s | honestly I hope unknown doesn't lie to |
| 20350s | us the |
| 20352s | fans did we get Li to we'll find out on |
| 20355s | the attack but South Korea have chosen |
| 20357s | to also attack so we'll get at least |
| 20360s | whole round going but it's match point |
| 20362s | for South Korea |
| 20363s | Colombia got to hope that these changes |
| 20366s | will affect uh their success they're |
| 20369s | going back back to the m though which I |
| 20371s | didn't love on ban but it's a different |
| 20373s | map I guess it looks like we're getting |
| 20376s | we're getting almost there to the L aim |
| 20378s | setup we we'll see if they're going to |
| 20380s | go for it I know lip you know he's he's |
| 20382s | loved Sombra for so long he's probably |
| 20384s | one of the best sombras in the world |
| 20386s | historically kids obviously been changed |
| 20388s | dramatically lately we haven't seen I |
| 20390s | believe almost any Sombra I think France |
| 20392s | is the only team to really pick that one |
| 20393s | up a little bit and there it |
| 20396s | is Fielder speeds them out and there we |
| 20399s | go we got the |
| 20401s | all right everyone go get in the truck |
| 20403s | we're going to the |
| 20405s | concert fielders got the speed um I |
| 20408s | don't even remember what Brig did but |
| 20410s | man Colombia are just not letting the |
| 20411s | music play on though they just collapsed |
| 20413s | right into them also along with the |
| 20415s | Bastion which is supposed to be as |
| 20417s | mobile and as in your face as super |
| 20420s | Gomez is playing but hey he was a tank |
| 20422s | for a reason he's front lining this is |
| 20423s | going way worse than it did in the music |
| 20425s | video that's all I'm saying is we're |
| 20426s | going to see lip is going to force the |
| 20429s | Colombian Squad to full back to the |
| 20431s | point because he's sort of applying some |
| 20432s | backline pressure H's coming back but |
| 20434s | that was a great first Rush from |
| 20436s | Columbia seeing the squad of South ker |
| 20438s | run into them that's what you need to do |
| 20439s | when you're the Reinhardt be |
| 20441s | proactive Columbia trying to take the |
| 20444s | initiative and Sombra is a lot more |
| 20446s | different than when lip played it before |
| 20449s | so this will be a lot more challenging |
| 20451s | for him and the kills are still |
| 20453s | following through for South Korea cuz |
| 20454s | you know Sparkle just casually getting a |
| 20456s | 2K was easily the MVP of boo son the |
| 20459s | only one that could kill Sparkle was |
| 20461s | Sparkle himself when he had the pulse |
| 20462s | bomb his own feet but yeah hey you know |
| 20466s | Sparkle is the only person who can beat |
| 20468s | Sparkle we've seen that in the past |
| 20470s | within the OverWatch league but that's |
| 20471s | going to be a pretty good and quick |
| 20473s | first C from South Korea and now |
| 20475s | Colombia they have to keep the foot on |
| 20477s | the gas they have to keep going just |
| 20478s | like ler in the music video they are the |
| 20481s | ones who have to go proac yes South |
| 20484s | Korea hoping for a perfect night in for |
| 20486s | Li so it is that's a fourman EMP back |
| 20490s | hands Mix B and Colombia got to hope |
| 20492s | they can escape with their lives and |
| 20493s | happy Alonso very sad to have to just |
| 20496s | keep his shield up and hope that this |
| 20497s | team gets out but uh T South G have to |
| 20500s | push the card so they they've let him |
| 20502s | Escape yeah they've let him escape and |
| 20504s | it's interesting to get a look at the |
| 20505s | Sombra for the first time you know at |
| 20507s | least you know get a good look at it in |
| 20509s | competitive because there's been mixed |
| 20511s | reviews of the new Sombra we rework |
| 20513s | obviously you have that virus that you |
| 20514s | can put on people and the hacks aren't |
| 20516s | as effective so it's a lot more of a |
| 20518s | poke hero where you're just trying to |
| 20519s | put out pressure and just be disruptive |
| 20521s | you're not as much of an assassin as he |
| 20523s | used to be and there's ksun Rush right |
| 20526s | into the ant Matrix so South Korea don't |
| 20528s | want to run into their own death I like |
| 20529s | that hanin's trying to push people down |
| 20531s | from that bridge and there is the |
| 20533s | blizzard thrown in South Korea's face |
| 20536s | and this is enough to freeze hit but he |
| 20537s | has a self-destruct he has a second life |
| 20539s | but I can't say the same for colia happy |
| 20542s | alanso gets blown up along with all the |
| 20544s | dominoes behind him and team South Korea |
| 20547s | will be capping point B yeah hug just |
| 20549s | Falls first as soon as they lose all |
| 20551s | that healing there's just no way they |
| 20552s | can stand up to the amount of damage |
| 20554s | that K has and once again lip is just |
| 20556s | charging up another EMP and they've got |
| 20558s | them trapped in this old |
| 20560s | spawn uhoh colia they're really good at |
| 20563s | running away though team South Korea |
| 20565s | it's a game of cat and mouse and they're |
| 20567s | on the hunt they managed to lose Fielder |
| 20570s | somehow and hen will be forced to use |
| 20572s | self-destruct if he wants another life |
| 20574s | and still is killing people in Pilot |
| 20576s | form so team South Korea just can't be |
| 20579s | stopped they're just they're just too |
| 20581s | dominant they just put out so much |
| 20582s | damage in their pre-existing Synergy of |
| 20584s | when they used to play together in the |
| 20586s | OverWatch league is really coming |
| 20587s | through and now Colombia they do have |
| 20590s | ultimates we have happy Alonzo with the |
| 20591s | Earth shatter this one could be huge and |
| 20593s | get them into the |
| 20595s | fight Colombia were able to just take |
| 20598s | initiative at the start of this map but |
| 20601s | they run right into the EMP and somehow |
| 20604s | lip is still able to translocate out |
| 20606s | here's the shatter that only gets s down |
| 20609s | on his is back and colia can't take |
| 20611s | advantage of this but they got the |
| 20612s | photon bar to split up the fight so |
| 20614s | maybe happy Alonso can swing a bit more |
| 20617s | but he can't swing in heaven mixv with |
| 20619s | the Sal bear is a little too late and |
| 20621s | Columbia tried to make the most out of |
| 20623s | this moment now committing the amp |
| 20625s | matrix it's not enough damage into South |
| 20628s | Korea Colombia fall yet again yeah just |
| 20631s | all of their ultimates just a little |
| 20633s | wrong the sound barrier just doesn't |
| 20634s | save happy Alonso the shatter not really |
| 20636s | finding the value now they desperation |
| 20638s | mode they need to get on the and they |
| 20640s | will colia managed to touch in South |
| 20643s | Korea the rush is a problem reengage |
| 20644s | with the ksun rush the May wall only |
| 20646s | slows them down you got to hope that |
| 20648s | this blizard from trummer come comes |
| 20650s | online soon but team South Korea are |
| 20652s | killing them and they've even pushed |
| 20654s | them off the c 3 minutes and 43 is what |
| 20658s | team South Korea will ring in and for a |
| 20661s | lot of our new viewers there's a lot of |
| 20663s | reason why you know a lot of us analysts |
| 20665s | have been hyping up team South Korea |
| 20667s | just because of as a region theyve been |
| 20670s | some of the overwat players in the and |
| 20672s | you're starting to see aass of it right |
| 20674s | now colia they were good in the |
| 20677s | qualifiers to get into this group stage |
| 20679s | they went 5 and0 in their group but so |
| 20682s | far even against South Korea playing a |
| 20685s | composition that you would say is not |
| 20687s | technically meta unless you're trying to |
| 20689s | be a K-Pop group then colia just still |
| 20691s | can't even hold up to that and that's |
| 20693s | the sheer power of the South Korea |
| 20694s | because colia they're doing the right |
| 20696s | things they have the right idea just |
| 20698s | nothing's working |
| 20701s | I think the true crime is that Mercy is |
| 20703s | not part of the seraphima the Skins you |
| 20707s | imagine we'd be having like 300K viewers |
| 20709s | if that was the case if we had a mercy |
| 20712s | larim skin right now we we'd be that |
| 20715s | we'd be the most popular game in the |
| 20716s | world but hey you know we're giving some |
| 20718s | other people some time in the sun |
| 20719s | honestly the Skins have been awesome all |
| 20721s | right let's just take a detour right now |
| 20723s | lemon which one's your favorite skin of |
| 20724s | the laseraim drop oh I got to say Diva |
| 20727s | she's just looking so groovy she's so |
| 20730s | cute and I'm glad that she saved |
| 20732s | everyone from the car crash by using her |
| 20734s | Mech to lift up the van um cuz you know |
| 20737s | we just almost kind of drove into the |
| 20739s | ocean there but honestly thanks my |
| 20741s | biggest issue with the entire music |
| 20743s | video is the Tracer Reco doesn't work |
| 20746s | like that that's not lore accurate and |
| 20748s | you know I feel like someone needs to |
| 20750s | step in when these types of things |
| 20751s | happen so how do you forget your tickets |
| 20754s | to the concert that's probably the most |
| 20755s | expensive thing in the world but |
| 20758s | Colombia |
| 20760s | they can rely on at least attending this |
| 20761s | point uh we'll see if South Korea have |
| 20764s | enough in them to full hold like they |
| 20766s | did before on control now Colombia have |
| 20770s | made their way to the top right super |
| 20772s | Gomez missing an action and SRA is much |
| 20775s | more difficult to play you're going to |
| 20777s | see her die a lot more than before and I |
| 20779s | guess with the rest of Colombia they can |
| 20781s | hold hands and spawn oh field is just |
| 20784s | taking names right now on this kako just |
| 20786s | going so aggressive finding head shots |
| 20788s | and happy Alonzo is going to find find |
| 20789s | it very difficult to play Winson into |
| 20791s | this composition from South Korea and |
| 20792s | that's why you're going to see once |
| 20794s | again wholesale swaps over to the |
| 20796s | Reinhard they can play together |
| 20798s | potentially they can punish some of the |
| 20799s | aggression from some of these individual |
| 20801s | players from South |
| 20803s | Korea South Korea holding columia at Bay |
| 20806s | here's the teleport from Columbia to get |
| 20808s | to the top right and a lot of speed |
| 20810s | being used happy alanso though wants to |
| 20812s | play conservatively hold the shield up |
| 20814s | as much as he can and he can't keep |
| 20815s | South Korea at B and that's a 3K stick |
| 20819s | prop say goodbye to colia and that was |
| 20823s | just once again C Colombia caught in a |
| 20826s | small room against an ultimate and it |
| 20827s | was just perfect from lip goes under mix |
| 20830s | I believe and just delivers it to the |
| 20832s | rest of his team that was a great |
| 20834s | strategy from colia though they punish |
| 20836s | Chio they're doing the right things it's |
| 20838s | just great better play from |
| 20840s | lip and good ice block good shield from |
| 20843s | Happy Alonso now changing up the |
| 20845s | strategy Colombia want to go through |
| 20847s | this left side to have as much cover as |
| 20849s | possible also choose a route that team |
| 20851s | South Korea aren't holding at least for |
| 20854s | the moment katuni Rush is available for |
| 20856s | Fielder this could be what kicks off the |
| 20858s | fight for them but is Columbia going to |
| 20860s | want to teleport to that top right side |
| 20862s | again they see hanin there hoping to use |
| 20864s | an ant Matrix 2 cun a rush plus EMP |
| 20868s | Columbia are just trying to touch the |
| 20869s | point they're all so low and team South |
| 20872s | Korea are hunting them down one by one |
| 20875s | and the ampt Matrix still not enough to |
| 20877s | even get a single kill just walking into |
| 20880s | the Trap from Sparkle as soon as they |
| 20882s | tried to cross that distance perfectly |
| 20883s | timed EMP from Sparkle it potentially |
| 20885s | might have been the biggest immortality |
| 20887s | field I've ever seen in my life from hug |
| 20889s | but they just couldn't get the health |
| 20890s | bars back up there and now with a minute |
| 20892s | 30 remaining colia still coming up with |
| 20894s | nothing and hug Falls just trying to |
| 20896s | walk out of Spawn hug has to be the most |
| 20899s | like bullied person in this Lobby even |
| 20901s | on boo on just getting killed in spawn |
| 20904s | Colombia are still stuck there team |
| 20906s | South Korea just I don't I don't know if |
| 20910s | they've even died but uh through this |
| 20912s | whole defense Colombia are they going to |
| 20915s | change their comp they're working up to |
| 20916s | some ultimates not they have to hold on |
| 20919s | to it they need to hope that these |
| 20920s | ultimates are going to be enough they |
| 20922s | just need to find a way to get the |
| 20923s | engagement in their favor oh my oh hug |
| 20926s | almost gets one clipped by lip there and |
| 20927s | that's a great pick now all they need to |
| 20930s | do is get onto the point they need to |
| 20931s | apply pressure to South Korea but be |
| 20933s | careful because you know there's going |
| 20934s | to be pressure great TP from colia |
| 20936s | getting towards this point not allowing |
| 20938s | Korea to pick them off on the on the I |
| 20941s | guess Trek to the point not even a first |
| 20943s | tick okay there it is Han bin was trying |
| 20945s | to contest lip will be back very shortly |
| 20948s | Columbia being all too patient with |
| 20950s | their ultimates they should have taken |
| 20951s | an initiative like we like them to do |
| 20953s | before with that sound barrier but it |
| 20955s | came in too late didn't save drumber and |
| 20957s | now things are in shambles team South |
| 20960s | Korea with the rally get shattered down |
| 20962s | by happy alono and team South Korea they |
| 20965s | thrive in this chaos and Columbia are |
| 20967s | still trying to get organized and happy |
| 20969s | Alo is able to trade with lip but colia |
| 20973s | only got uh 57% which won't be enough |
| 20977s | Colombia got a hope to touch around the |
| 20979s | corner is this Lucio of mix who's |
| 20981s | getting hacked and shoved out by hanin |
| 20984s | was a blizzard from no it actually got |
| 20986s | away oh EMP insult to injury there for |
| 20990s | Colombia and just not able to stand up |
| 20994s | against South Korea just showing a |
| 20996s | master class of OverWatch at the highest |
| 20998s | level in Columbia you know you can see |
| 21000s | them themselves there a couple of smiles |
| 21002s | on their face it's it's a great |
| 21003s | opportunity to play against the players |
| 21004s | of the caliber of South Korea and they |
| 21006s | had their moments from time to time but |
| 21009s | for the most part just a dominant win |
| 21012s | I'm just glad that team South Korea are |
| 21013s | showing us a new meta seraphim meta I |
| 21016s | I'm so down I don't know how this will |
| 21019s | go at the main event but team South |
| 21022s | Korea continue to be the team to beat |
| 21024s | and man they really did beat down |
| 21026s | Columbia too even going to the spawn |
| 21028s | room doors not letting them get out |
| 21030s | constantly flanking them and that's |
| 21031s | something that Columbia really struggled |
| 21033s | with yeah and when you have players with |
| 21035s | such individual confidence like South K |
| 21037s | you see like hugs is walking out of |
| 21038s | Spawn surrounded by the rest of his team |
| 21041s | and then he almost gets one CLI by the |
| 21043s | Tracer of lift and that's how do you |
| 21045s | deal with that how do you handle that |
| 21046s | and you just don't at the at the end of |
| 21049s | the day and Colombia you have to hope |
| 21051s | that you go on to better matches right |
| 21053s | you are always pretty much going to lose |
| 21055s | that match take that move on to the next |
| 21057s | on because you need to win the next two |
| 21059s | matches otherwise you're not going on to |
| 21060s | bliz gone I'm just looking forward to |
| 21063s | seeing just how the representation of of |
| 21065s | South America goes cuz Brazil that are |
| 21067s | looking good um of course uh Team we |
| 21071s | just casted uh I'm BL blanking Colombia |
| 21074s | uh also put on a good show today I don't |
| 21076s | think they were going to put a dent |
| 21077s | against South Korea but how will they do |
| 21078s | against their fellow competition it'll |
| 21080s | be exciting to see just how South |
| 21082s | America highlight themselves cuz team |
| 21083s | Brazil have been exciting to see before |
| 21086s | but I'm excited to also hear from the |
| 21088s | desk who are I'm sure very happy with |
| 21090s | their predictions so let's hear from |
| 21094s | them thank you so much custa and lemon |
| 21097s | South Korea rolling out with the |
| 21099s | seraphim comom and uh making everyone |
| 21101s | out there very happy uh it worked out |
| 21104s | for too well for them as well so you |
| 21106s | know will they use it against teams |
| 21109s | which may uh be a little tougher to beat |
| 21113s | probably not are we happy to have seen |
| 21115s | absolutely they do not have to Danny do |
| 21118s | not going to be the new it's going to be |
| 21121s | the meta |
| 21123s | no all right everyone in gold watch |
| 21126s | out you're going to roll out like that |
| 21129s | what a squ what a squad according to |
| 21132s | Gold players there is Source I'm a gold |
| 21134s | player I apologize |
| 21137s | okay it's okay that's okay uh I I'll |
| 21139s | forgive you um and I feel like Columbia |
| 21142s | also forgives South Korea for the |
| 21143s | absolute Beatdown that they just got |
| 21145s | handed because quite frankly if you |
| 21147s | looked at the player cams Columbia |
| 21149s | players were happy they're happy to be |
| 21151s | there they like hey we tried you know it |
| 21153s | our best like they exchanged the fist |
| 21155s | bumps and smiled on their faces they |
| 21158s | they discussed what was happening they |
| 21159s | were able to laugh about it and that's |
| 21162s | the spirit that's what I want to see in |
| 21163s | the O World Cup it is a competition yes |
| 21166s | but it's a friendly competition it's so |
| 21168s | fun to be able to measure up against |
| 21170s | some of the greats of the industry we |
| 21172s | have so many Star players which a lot of |
| 21174s | those uh players in in various different |
| 21176s | teams they don't usually get to play |
| 21178s | against be because they're in different |
| 21179s | regions or just you know on a different |
| 21182s | don't want to say skill level but that's |
| 21184s | kind of what it is right so this is a |
| 21186s | great opportunity you got you got to set |
| 21187s | your expectations right and I feel like |
| 21189s | Columbia did that in in this series look |
| 21192s | if you're if you're like an aspiring Pro |
| 21193s | player or you know you're you're trying |
| 21195s | to compete even in you know tier two or |
| 21197s | whatever like getting to play a team |
| 21199s | like South Korea is still like a huge |
| 21201s | honor or like opportunity because like |
| 21204s | as you said like you don't get to play |
| 21205s | these players that often so just being |
| 21206s | able to play them even though you know |
| 21208s | your most likely to lose and it's going |
| 21209s | to look pretty bad that's a great |
| 21211s | opportunity so Columbia they set their |
| 21213s | expectations right and obviously that's |
| 21215s | not their opponent to beat here in group |
| 21216s | a they have to look towards Finland and |
| 21218s | Mexico later this week yeah absolutely |
| 21221s | so here you can take a look at the |
| 21223s | groups with the current standings we did |
| 21225s | get to see a lot of great competitive |
| 21227s | OverWatch I feel like today I think |
| 21229s | there were a lot of teams which really |
| 21230s | impressed us uh which really showed up |
| 21233s | uh and some of them not as expected and |
| 21236s | a lot of them if you're looking at the |
| 21238s | score like the way Brazil played today |
| 21241s | yes they lost but it was a quality loss |
| 21243s | it actually showed that they can hang |
| 21245s | they did play very close that did exceed |
| 21247s | expectations and a lot of the way they |
| 21249s | performed today and of course Japan |
| 21251s | being able to take that France in a |
| 21253s | pretty convincing fashion uh they looked |
| 21255s | so good so cohesive the Synergy was |
| 21258s | there and a lot of individual Talent |
| 21260s | which just made it so very exciting so I |
| 21264s | am looking forward to so much more of |
| 21266s | that as this was just day one but that |
| 21268s | means that we have some takeaways right |
| 21271s | what did we learn what excited us what |
| 21273s | made us happy Danny you go first what |
| 21275s | made me happy you guys all know it we |
| 21278s | love K-pop k-pop's a new meta the Las |
| 21281s | seraphin meta how I think that's how |
| 21283s | lemon called it I just love it I think |
| 21284s | that's the perfect name you know with |
| 21287s | with the release of the collab and now |
| 21289s | the team Korea you know with uh K-pop |
| 21291s | Idols you know and now there team South |
| 21294s | Korea sort of like you know go hand in |
| 21296s | hand they're like promoting them at the |
| 21298s | same time but it was you know at the end |
| 21300s | of the day I I guess my big takeaway is |
| 21301s | that South Korea yes they can play |
| 21303s | anything and they will still beat the |
| 21306s | opponent they're that good yeah look I |
| 21309s | mean they're playing Mexico later this |
| 21311s | week right maybe they'll bring it out |
| 21312s | again bring it back |
| 21314s | 100% please team South Korea like I'll |
| 21318s | I'll be so I'll be so sad if this is the |
| 21320s | last time we saw the uh list of uh a no |
| 21323s | way a no way I think I think I think |
| 21325s | there are I think there are more times |
| 21326s | that we're going to see this in the |
| 21327s | future yeah |
| 21329s | yeah I feel like they they have what it |
| 21330s | takes to commit to the bids now Johnny |
| 21333s | what uh what was your personal highlight |
| 21335s | of day one look I I only got one |
| 21338s | prediction wrong today and it was Great |
| 21340s | Britain I |
| 21341s | underestimated Great Britain okay and I |
| 21343s | promise I won't do it again backbone |
| 21346s | came out played a great all night our |
| 21347s | very first match of the day here |
| 21349s | supporting jar on the Winston of course |
| 21351s | um and so I I think that Great Britain |
| 21353s | this is one of those teams that they've |
| 21355s | been here in the World Cup before not |
| 21356s | necessarily all of these players you |
| 21357s | know some of them were here in the world |
| 21359s | cup but the coaching staff as well you |
| 21361s | got tasmo of course as a a staff member |
| 21363s | of this team but then you also have |
| 21364s | Christopher with all the experience uh |
| 21367s | you know competing at the highest level |
| 21368s | in OverWatch before so I'm not sleeping |
| 21370s | on Great Britain if there's going to be |
| 21372s | a recipe for you know advancing far in |
| 21374s | the world cup and making it deep into |
| 21376s | the playoffs great they'll they'll |
| 21378s | probably like discover the the recipe |
| 21380s | like they'll probably they'll probably |
| 21382s | just find the technology they'll develop |
| 21384s | develop the straps all right so they'll |
| 21386s | get there I have faith in the coaching |
| 21387s | staff and the players of course to make |
| 21389s | it deep so great Brit I'm not sleeping |
| 21391s | on them moving forward is this uh is |
| 21392s | this because tasma tasma called the ey |
| 21394s | on social no actually I didn't even |
| 21397s | interact with the tweet I just like well |
| 21399s | you get this every time you get used to |
| 21400s | it you can't can't ever be right okay I |
| 21403s | tried to Pander to Canada instead Great |
| 21406s | Britain they come at me like there's no |
| 21408s | winning there's no winning I try to make |
| 21410s | everyone happy it's it's it can't make |
| 21412s | everyone Happ can't that's that's true |
| 21414s | uh lemon also just she led you astray |
| 21416s | with she did during our rehearsals you |
| 21419s | did say Great Britain is going to take |
| 21421s | it and then you flopped so L big shout |
| 21423s | out right there shouldn't have flopped |
| 21426s | sometimes the Flop just ain't worthy |
| 21428s | sometimes it is though I was just about |
| 21429s | to say sometimes it is though cuz the |
| 21432s | Japan prediction was some gigabrain |
| 21435s | stuff and they're definitely one of the |
| 21436s | teams which really impressed if we're |
| 21437s | looking at the groups overall I feel |
| 21439s | like coming into this we had a clear |
| 21441s | idea of what teams we think are going to |
| 21443s | come out on top of each group but |
| 21445s | honestly based on some of the |
| 21447s | performances we got to see today that |
| 21449s | may have changed I do think that |
| 21451s | especially group uh D for me is now wide |
| 21455s | open like United States yes we still |
| 21458s | consider them the favorite alas Saudi |
| 21461s | Arabia we know that that team has a lot |
| 21463s | of synergy we know they have a lot of |
| 21465s | really great players France they looked |
| 21466s | a bit frazzled Japan however looked |
| 21469s | really really good so that changes |
| 21470s | things up Brazil making group be even |
| 21472s | more competitive even harder to predict |
| 21475s | so once one of the other Commonwealth |
| 21477s | teams has to face off against Brazil I |
| 21479s | think they have to study up on some Bots |
| 21481s | because Brazil really came to play and |
| 21484s | for Group C we did expect Thailand to |
| 21487s | come out on top but we haven't seen |
| 21489s | Spain yet so it's going to be very |
| 21490s | interesting to see where they find |
| 21492s | themselves overall I feel like this is a |
| 21495s | very competitive group stage and that |
| 21497s | makes me so excited and so happy for |
| 21500s | more yeah I mean especially Group D like |
| 21502s | you said it's it's it's wide open but |
| 21504s | with France taking that loss today |
| 21507s | essentially it'll be a must-win match |
| 21509s | against the United States tomorrow so |
| 21512s | right you know even though it's just day |
| 21513s | two tomorrow we're still getting to the |
| 21515s | point where like these are crucial |
| 21517s | matches if we want to advance to the |
| 21518s | playoffs ler this week yeah because we |
| 21520s | already discussed Group B right like it |
| 21522s | was so important for uh Great Britain to |
| 21524s | win that match against Canada because |
| 21526s | they don't want to find themselves in |
| 21528s | the second seat because that would mean |
| 21529s | that they most likely going to face up |
| 21531s | against South Korea in the playoffs but |
| 21534s | we're getting ahead of ourselves uh not |
| 21536s | playoffs in the brackets and let's take |
| 21537s | a look at schedule first one more day of |
| 21540s | six matches coming your way we have a |
| 21543s | lot of great teams facing off against |
| 21544s | each other we get to see a first look on |
| 21547s | some teams we have not seen playing |
| 21549s | today which one are you guys excited for |
| 21551s | starting with you Danny I got to say the |
| 21554s | reigning Champions USA versus France |
| 21556s | France taking the loss today against |
| 21557s | Japan you know they really like Johnny |
| 21559s | said they really need to get that win |
| 21561s | against USA tomorrow but it is a very |
| 21564s | tough opponent I think I think look I |
| 21567s | know we're supposed to pick one but I |
| 21568s | think there's like plenty of good ones |
| 21570s | here Spain Thailand that's going to be |
| 21573s | really important for the Alo groups |
| 21575s | Canada Australia two of the better teams |
| 21577s | um of course in group b so like there's |
| 21580s | a lot on the line here Japan Saudi |
| 21582s | Arabia like these are really between |
| 21584s | even just pick one I'm not I refuse I |
| 21587s | refuse to pick one match I pick three |
| 21590s | from China Pi four |
| 21592s | Mexico honestly there's actually so many |
| 21595s | Banger games tomorrow today fell the bit |
| 21598s | like a stroll through to OverWatch but I |
| 21600s | feel like tomorrow these scores can look |
| 21603s | a lot closer at least that's what we're |
| 21606s | hoping for for now though we are done |
| 21608s | with day number one of the O World Cup |
| 21611s | 2023 of course we will be back with more |
| 21614s | action tomorrow you just saw the |
