627s | what is up OverWatch fans I hope you |
630s | guys are all having a wonderful weekend |
632s | and if you're not well I think you're |
634s | about to because we are here today to |
636s | bring you the calling all heroes rise |
638s | together minor 3 hosted of course by |
641s | Toronto defiant we've got the best |
643s | marginalized gender talent that this |
645s | scene has to offer and I am so excited |
648s | to get to be the one to bring it to you |
650s | my name is CB and I'm joined by my |
651s | lovely coaster Jag who I know is just as |
654s | eager as I am to get into it absolutely |
658s | we got some great games last week on |
660s | Saturday during the Swiss stage but I |
661s | got to say I was a little jealous of |
664s | both Kwing and Chef Billy we got two Z |
666s | OverWatch throughout the entire of our |
669s | cast they got a bunch of map threes they |
671s | even got a map four but it's playoff |
673s | season it is playoff time and I'm hoping |
675s | that we get to see some great games as |
677s | well as some extra Maps here today yeah |
679s | I I I was a little bit upset as well a |
681s | little bit jealous but like I can't be |
682s | too jealous cuz we get to do playoffs |
684s | like that's not the flex on billion K |
686s | wing a little Flex a little you know |
688s | just a wee bit not too much of a flex |
690s | though they got some Banger maps and |
691s | those matches that they got to see set |
693s | up some incredible storylines for this |
695s | playoffs bracket and I can't wait to dig |
697s | deep into it cuz there is a lot to |
699s | unpack here and even like when we start |
701s | off with our first map there's a ton of |
703s | moving parts that I cannot wait to get |
705s | into with you yeah absolutely and if you |
708s | are new to calling all heroes or if you |
710s | just didn't get to see last weekend |
711s | we've got a little refresher here for |
713s | you to show you exactly what the format |
715s | of calling o Heroes is exactly how it |
717s | works as you see here we started with |
719s | have two days of Swiss stage play now we |
721s | are down to our top eight teams the best |
724s | of the best here at the rise together |
726s | minor 3 and it is double elimination so |
729s | the good news is that if you lose here |
731s | in round one you're not done there's |
733s | still plenty of chances to get back to |
735s | the swing thing there plenty of chances |
736s | to get into that grand finals later on |
740s | tomorrow but I got to say it's you know |
742s | round one being a first of two a little |
744s | bit less room you know if you make that |
746s | mistake you fall down early a little bit |
747s | harder to get back up but then |
748s | everything from there on in is going to |
750s | be a first to three yeah it's a it's |
753s | nice to have that little first to three |
754s | safety net down there in the lower |
756s | bracket it does help you know be a |
758s | little bit more conducive to that |
759s | Miracle lower bracket run that we all |
761s | love to see everyone loves a good double |
762s | Alm bracket and I'm no different and you |
765s | know the this first round being first |
766s | and two like you said is very |
767s | interesting but it does also kind of you |
769s | know help us get things along help us |
771s | get into the swing of things get you |
773s | know sort the wheat from the chaff a |
774s | little bit earlier cuz there's a lot of |
776s | uh like I said a lot of moving Parts in |
778s | this early rounds we we want to get into |
779s | it we want to get deep into the bracket |
781s | we want to see all these story lines |
783s | unfold before our very eyes because |
785s | these teams they're all hungry they all |
787s | want to play to win they all want to win |
790s | that cash prize they also want to win |
792s | those circuit points that's what it is |
794s | all about at the end of the day all of |
797s | these teams just playing to try and get |
799s | as much circuit points as they can so |
800s | they can win a spot in the championship |
803s | and again we only have one more major |
806s | calling all heroes tournament after this |
808s | and then it's c q so those circuit |
810s | points are all |
812s | important absolutely and again it is per |
815s | a player not per a team so sometimes |
818s | those uh I would say rewards uh shift |
821s | over time some of the points shift over |
823s | time team to team based on where players |
826s | have been previously but we know that |
829s | you are competing for a top six spot you |
831s | get into the top six after the next |
833s | major you have secured your place in |
836s | that grand finals championship happening |
838s | in |
839s | 2024 but here today I mean there is |
843s | going to be something for the viewers as |
845s | well we don't want to leave you out |
846s | whatsoever the players they know what |
847s | they're playing for but you watching at |
850s | home will also be able to get some |
851s | amazing things from the broadcast we got |
854s | skins of course we've got skins last |
856s | week it was Mercy this week we've got |
859s | KIRO and Hanzo yep KIRO and Hanzo |
862s | Contender skins going to be available |
863s | all weekend so make sure you stay tuned |
865s | in because we're going to be back here |
867s | tomorrow as well so we got all day today |
870s | all day tomorrow to rack up those hours |
872s | build up those skins you know and then |
874s | uh you know represent tier two when you |
875s | go into into game we all love to rep |
878s | tier 2 and you know support OverWatch |
880s | contenders and hey you can do that by |
882s | also supporting calling all heroes which |
884s | is what you're here to do so you know |
886s | get some skins for it absolutely I mean |
888s | what's what's better than watching some |
890s | amazing OverWatch and getting rewarded |
891s | for it but going back to last weekend |
894s | and what we saw it was a bit of a doozy |
897s | you and I we had expectations I think |
899s | those expectations were shattered in a |
901s | few different places I know I was |
902s | expecting a very I would say I didn't |
905s | expect like a meta to form I didn't |
907s | expect every team to be running the same |
909s | thing and we did see some variation here |
910s | and there it seems like a lot of teams |
912s | wanted to run a sigma rush or Sigma wiel |
914s | Lucio Baptist run a little bit of DPS |
917s | that were a bit different some Bastion |
919s | some Genji some soj some Ekko but also |
922s | where teams finished was not what I |
923s | expected whatsoever there were some big |
925s | upsets there were some teams that did |
926s | not make this top eight that I was |
928s | expecting to here in playoffs yeah a |
931s | couple you know notable exceptions we |
932s | don't get to see kunoichi cgl here |
935s | Valiant Guardians actually just barely |
937s | squeaked by didn't actually uh make or |
940s | sorry almost like didn't actually make |
942s | it in with that 4-2 record they're still |
943s | kind of sitting middle of the pack but I |
945s | kind of expected them to hit a little |
947s | bit harder uh Fable also just barely |
950s | squeaking by three and three there's |
952s | definitely a story lineing to that team |
953s | that I want to get into A True Underdog |
956s | Story from Fable and I'm looking forward |
958s | to seeing them a little bit later L on |
959s | today if we have the chance to get them |
960s | on the broadcast but you know again |
962s | going back to the teams that didn't make |
964s | it you know bad blood is another one |
966s | that we might have expected to see as |
968s | athoth another one that has a ton of |
970s | talent and didn't quite make it in all |
972s | of these three in three teams that just |
973s | narrowly missed the playoffs any of them |
977s | could have been here and it would like |
978s | no one would have been surprised but |
980s | those over on the left hand side of your |
982s | screen that's our top eight that's who |
983s | we have to work with today and there is |
985s | still a ton a ton of talent over on that |
989s | side and a ton of story lines like I |
990s | said that I cannot wait to get to |
992s | untangle for all of you and let let's |
995s | get into it let's have a look at the |
996s | bracket here so that we can see how some |
999s | of these story lines are going to unfold |
1001s | like you've already seen our first match |
1003s | up of the day is going to be this first |
1005s | round first of two match up between GRE |
1007s | Nightmare and Vancouver Titans blue |
1009s | which you know we have seen before but |
1011s | we'll get into that and as you can see |
1013s | there's also a ton of other Banger |
1016s | matches waston Timeless versus Fable |
1018s | that's going to be a big one that I |
1019s | definitely want to see Aegis versus |
1020s | Valiant Guardians is going to be another |
1023s | close call either way you slice it |
1025s | there's so much to to look forward to |
1027s | here there absolutely is in Washington |
1029s | Timeless have been absolutely |
1030s | outstanding throughout the entire |
1031s | tournament not only are they our first |
1033s | seed coming into playoffs not only are |
1036s | they on an undefeated match streak |
1038s | they're on an undefeated map streak they |
1040s | have not dropped a single map throughout |
1042s | all of the rise together minor three |
1044s | thus far so Fable that Underdog run that |
1046s | you discussed I mean they got to pull |
1048s | out some mirac here to beat this Goliath |
1050s | that Washington Timeless has become over |
1052s | the last few uh events here in calling |
1054s | all heroes and then down at Valley and |
1056s | Gardens you mentioned them before uh |
1058s | four or two doesn't look like squeaking |
1059s | by that much on paper but they were one |
1061s | and two uh leaving the first day of last |
1064s | weekend in the Swiss stage they had to |
1065s | go perfect on the day in day two to get |
1068s | to where they are and they only got a |
1070s | six seed through all of that hard work |
1072s | however we do know they had some roster |
1074s | issues they weren't playing with their |
1075s | main support lineup so I'm very |
1077s | interested to see with new players in |
1079s | the mix how they'll be able to Fair |
1081s | themselves but we got to talk about this |
1084s | matchup that's in the lower third right |
1086s | now jury nightmare against Vancouver |
1088s | Titans blue I was not expecting jery |
1091s | nightmare to get the number two seed |
1093s | looking at the amount of talent looking |
1095s | at the established teams that we have |
1096s | here in calling all heroes it was very |
1099s | surprising but they went on a 5- one run |
1102s | a very impressive feat but I think you |
1104s | and I still have some questions about |
1106s | their overall performance you look at |
1108s | the teams that they ended up playing |
1110s | against last week and it wasn't |
1112s | necessarily the most challenging of |
1114s | opponents I would say Yeah you mentioned |
1116s | that one loss on their record and that |
1118s | one loss was to drainers who we do have |
1120s | to consider to be one of the potential |
1121s | favorites to walk away with the whole |
1123s | thing but you know a loss is still a |
1125s | loss and we haven't seen a whole lot of |
1127s | other big big wins out of there you know |
1130s | we do see some of the other Playoff |
1132s | teams bar claw Vancouver Titans blue and |
1134s | Aegis all on their chopping block all |
1136s | being ran through but |
1139s | those still aren't like the top top |
1141s | teams when it comes to those top teams |
1143s | like drainers like Washington Timeless |
1145s | we haven't really gotten to see them be |
1146s | tested properly they even walked away |
1148s | with a Buy in round one which you know |
1151s | is nothing to shake it like it's it is |
1153s | what it is it happens sometimes the |
1154s | bracket just happens that way but it |
1156s | means that we didn't really get to see |
1157s | them at full strength they have |
1159s | potential but can they keep up the pace |
1161s | and can they step it up the next time |
1163s | they go up against a roster like a |
1165s | drainers or like a Washington Timeless |
1167s | and for that matter matter can they beat |
1170s | this new iteration of Vancouver Titans |
1172s | blue who you can see they went three and |
1174s | three in Swiss last weekend but there is |
1178s | a pretty big asterisk next to that yeah |
1181s | you look at this record you're thinking |
1183s | oh three and three middle of the table |
1185s | you know not able to get a positive win |
1187s | loss their only wins are over teams that |
1189s | did not make playoffs either but that is |
1193s | a big ass risk and we're going to get to |
1194s | that in just a moment we're going to be |
1196s | looking at the rosters in just a little |
1198s | little bit but you look at this and |
1200s | you're saying oh it's a 21 victory for |
1202s | jurry nightmare like this is just going |
1203s | to be a repeat like how could this be |
1205s | different well it could be very |
1207s | different because Vancouver Titans blue |
1208s | did not play with the same starting five |
1211s | last week as they will this week they |
1212s | had some players that were ill they had |
1214s | some players that had to go into a |
1216s | different role than they're used to to |
1218s | try to fill in those holes in the roster |
1220s | so even though I feel like we've seen a |
1222s | lot of what GRE can do I don't think |
1223s | we've seen a lot of what can uh what |
1225s | Vancouver Titans blue can do just yet |
1228s | yeah absolutely and once we get into |
1230s | those rosters we can start to talk a |
1231s | little bit about that because again yeah |
1232s | I know you're saying to yourself dear |
1234s | viewer CB I have already seen this match |
1236s | up but I can assure you that you have |
1238s | not because there is going to be a lot |
1241s | of different moving pieces and a lot of |
1242s | different things that we are going to |
1244s | see potentially some meta shaking coming |
1246s | out uh from the side of Vancouver Titans |
1248s | blue we'll get to that in a second but |
1250s | first here is your starting lineup for |
1252s | GRE Nightmare and there was a lot to be |
1254s | impressed by by this roster last weekend |
1256s | I want to call out persona as being a |
1259s | high point of this team as well as |
1261s | Vanguard all of the tanks in calling all |
1263s | heroes especially in this crop of |
1265s | playoff Talent has thoroughly impressed |
1267s | me and Vanguard is no different yeah |
1270s | Persona a player that has been on Team |
1272s | Peru for the OverWatch World Cup twice |
1274s | now including this past year uh Vanguard |
1277s | also looked very impressive they ran a |
1279s | lot of Sigma comps a lot of orisa comps |
1281s | and looked very good overall it was a |
1283s | 2-1 they did end up dropping that |
1285s | control map but I got to say new junk |
1287s | City especially from that V if you were |
1288s | able to watch either live or just watch |
1291s | the recording of it they looked really |
1293s | really well established and really just |
1296s | well versed in the sigma compositions |
1299s | but we got to move on to Vancouver |
1300s | Titans blue now show exactly what |
1302s | they're bringing to the table today and |
1304s | like we said very very different from |
1307s | what we had last week phone was on tank |
1309s | that's something to note uh she did she |
1312s | looked pretty good on the Reinhardt and |
1313s | they she was trying to also run the |
1315s | sigma here and there but you know she's |
1317s | a hit scan player she is a TPS player so |
1319s | she's going to be back in her main role |
1321s | today yeah we also were missing out on |
1323s | Claire and spinor spy or's absence was |
1326s | what drove phone over to the tank roll |
1328s | and so Vancouver Titans blue were |
1330s | essentially playing with two |
1331s | substitutions and a player off rolling |
1334s | at that point it's an entirely different |
1335s | team so sure GRE nightmare did look |
1338s | impressive going up against them but |
1339s | that wasn't Vancouver Titans blue at |
1341s | their full strength not to make excuses |
1343s | for Vancouver Titans Blue by the way |
1345s | because you know they still made their |
1346s | bed and they had to lay in it it's |
1347s | impressive though that under those |
1349s | conditions Vancouver Titans blue were |
1350s | able to make it to playoffs at all but |
1354s | now we actually get to see what they |
1356s | look like at full strength has there |
1357s | been some sort of lost time from not |
1359s | having those players in the rotation |
1360s | from having phone not on her Comfort |
1362s | pick is there going to be any you know |
1365s | growing pains with this roster or is |
1366s | this the full Titans that GRE nightmare |
1369s | are going up against that they might not |
1371s | be fully prepared for they might not |
1373s | know what it is that they're walking |
1375s | into there's a lot of questions like we |
1377s | said Can GRE nightmare keep the pace |
1378s | well we'll find out if they can take |
1380s | down what might be a full Vancouver |
1382s | Titans blue and is it a full strength |
1384s | Vancouver Titans blue there is only one |
1386s | way to find out and that is by throwing |
1389s | these two Beyblades into the arena and |
1391s | seeing which one of them stops spinning |
1392s | first you got to spin to win right |
1395s | whether it's the orisa maybe even a |
1396s | Reaper that comes out to play but I |
1398s | think these two teams have a very |
1400s | interesting dichotomy they they kind of |
1401s | have a contrast to each other J |
1403s | nightmare is a new team for all senses |
1405s | you know this is the first event they've |
1406s | played together under this name however |
1408s | they have a lot of history you've got |
1410s | few members that were from um the old |
1412s | Griff Guardians team before they were |
1413s | rebranded to Valiant Guardians you have |
1415s | some members from chikami who have been |
1417s | a long-standing team uh that have |
1419s | represented marginalized genders um in |
1422s | the scene of OverWatch open division |
1423s | contenders Etc meanwhile Vancouver |
1425s | Titans blue this is a roster that has |
1427s | been together since or at least the team |
1429s | has been together since uh basically the |
1430s | beginning of calling all heroes but |
1432s | they've never really been able to find |
1434s | that success they're looking for they're |
1435s | an established or part of an OverWatch |
1438s | league team team but they've never |
1439s | finished higher than fifth or sixth |
1440s | they've never been able to break into |
1442s | that top four so it's really intriguing |
1444s | that you have this team that's been |
1445s | longstanding that hasn't really found |
1447s | the same success as some other teams |
1448s | that are with OverWatch League |
1450s | organizations versus GRE nightmare these |
1452s | New Kids on the Block who have been |
1454s | absolutely dominating early on but maybe |
1456s | haven't been tested as much as some of |
1457s | the other teams that are in the top four |
1460s | I mean they're about to be tested right |
1462s | now and by the way I've seen a little |
1464s | like I've been talking a little bit with |
1465s | Claire uh from Vancouver Titans blue and |
1467s | seen little bit of glimpses as to what |
1470s | Vancouver Titans blue have been |
1471s | scrimming you talked earlier about the |
1472s | meta about how all these teams want to |
1474s | play Sigma and the sigma play again |
1476s | across the board has been phenomenal but |
1478s | I've seen a couple of screenshots of |
1480s | compositions that Vancouver Titans blue |
1482s | have been running I don't think we're |
1483s | going to see it on control but when we |
1484s | get into our second map which let's be |
1487s | realistic is probably going to be numani |
1488s | because that's what everybody loves to |
1490s | pick for hybrid don't be surprised if |
1492s | you see a wrecking ball that's all I'm |
1494s | going to say I'm not going to promise |
1496s | anything I'm not going to hold anybody |
1497s | to it and I don't want to look like a |
1499s | fool if they come out and try to play |
1500s | The Meta as well but do not be surprised |
1503s | as for our Antarctic Peninsula which is |
1505s | going to be our first map for control I |
1507s | don't expect there to be any surprises I |
1509s | expect both teams to run out with some |
1510s | variation of Rush potentially that |
1512s | Reinhardt Rush as that's a little bit |
1513s | more conducive here or maybe sticking |
1516s | with that tried and true Sigma that we |
1517s | have seen every pretty much every team |
1519s | that made playoffs favor yeah absolutely |
1522s | and as we talk about aaric Peninsula you |
1524s | know depending on the submap some are a |
1526s | bit better for just running at the enemy |
1528s | team I I don't think High Ground usually |
1529s | is a big contesting point on this map |
1532s | except for one of the sub Maps but |
1533s | overall it's kind of just they're |
1535s | running at each other the entire time |
1536s | you're trying to overpower the enemy |
1538s | team you're trying to show who's boss |
1540s | the opposition early on and momentum is |
1542s | so important on these control Maps you |
1544s | win the first fight you get that first |
1546s | point capture and your odds of winning |
1548s | that submap go up exponentially and |
1551s | again this is a match we've already seen |
1552s | this was the one map type that Vancouver |
1554s | Titans blue were able to take it was on |
1556s | Le Jong Tower so a bit of a different |
1558s | look here a very different map typ I |
1560s | feel Leong Tower is a bit more diverse |
1563s | in the compositions you can run |
1564s | depending on what submap it is here it's |
1565s | kind of more of the same but already |
1567s | we're going to see a very different look |
1569s | early on for Vancouver Titans blue they |
1571s | did they did run the sigma a little bit |
1573s | with ph but mostly it was Ry all day |
1575s | every day you can see Spiner back in the |
1577s | lineup going to be running with the |
1578s | sigma early on uh maybe not running |
1582s | maybe you know taking a |
1584s | pause maybe well that that was more a |
1588s | was trying to make a joke about the fact |
1589s | that we're pausing we're not running |
1590s | we're going nowhere fast yeah Sigma also |
1592s | doesn't run he just kind of like |
1593s | levitates with the dogs hanging out |
1594s | there like you know kicking over a |
1596s | couple rocks as he floats by happens you |
1598s | know it it's just who he is uh I'm |
1602s | curious like what this is going to look |
1604s | like as we go into Su LEL cuz again a |
1606s | lot of these Maps tend to favor that |
1608s | Reinhardt Rush style and we saw J |
1610s | nightmare quickly flashing and showing |
1612s | the Arisa composition which is a little |
1614s | bit more close to what that Reinhardt |
1617s | wants to do we didn't really get a whole |
1619s | lot to go on here but all right quickly |
1621s | back into the action very short pause |
1624s | hate to have to do that to you chat but |
1626s | here we are ready to go like you said |
1628s | Vancouver Titans blue on that Sigma |
1630s | composition floating not running out the |
1634s | gates the big Advantage they have is |
1636s | with the shield the Bastion can live for |
1638s | days phone can just sit behind the |
1639s | shield do a lot more damage it's a |
1641s | little bit more difficult for Persona |
1642s | he's going to have to play a few more |
1644s | off angles going to have to be a little |
1645s | bit more careful with just being out in |
1647s | the open |
1648s | and you're going to see M them trying to |
1650s | get that wall early on but it's |
1651s | immediately broken yeah not a whole lot |
1653s | of space being taken by the sigment |
1655s | right now but phone with the early pick |
1656s | off there onto Persona means that |
1657s | Vancouver Titans blue can just go ahead |
1659s | and March right on forward and with |
1660s | Vanguard out of the picture there is no |
1662s | longer a horse to stop the March |
1664s | Vancouver Titans blue with a pretty |
1665s | Swift and easy first point cap and |
1668s | they're even playing a little bit |
1669s | forward to hold space and make it so G |
1670s | nightmare has to swap comps if they have |
1672s | any hopes of getting back into it I feel |
1674s | like this is the one map you'd |
1675s | especially want to run a Reinhardt on if |
1677s | you're not going to be running the sigma |
1678s | yeah here it is because you want to |
1679s | control that High Ground you want to |
1680s | have that Shield like I was saying you |
1681s | can see there spor just created so much |
1683s | space for phone to just continue to |
1685s | throw out so much damage but now it's |
1686s | going to be the opposite May wall coming |
1688s | out yeah the May Wall comes out for |
1689s | Mercedes they SWA to the may as well |
1691s | does g Nightmare and it does pay |
1693s | dividends almost instantly that wall |
1695s | behind a sigma is a death sentence |
1696s | there's nothing that Sigma can do you |
1698s | just got to hope that your team either |
1699s | breaks it or gets a clutch immortality |
1701s | field and yeah the attempts were in vain |
1704s | for Vancouver Titans blue as J nightmare |
1707s | off the back of that one swift easy pick |
1709s | off flip the point only 32% for vtb |
1712s | they've completely just flipped |
1713s | everything I mean the comp's a little |
1714s | bit different the Reinhardt is a big win |
1716s | for them but they already have their |
1717s | matching amplification Matrix there's no |
1719s | Al advantage on the side of Vancouver |
1720s | Titans blue now they're going to have a |
1722s | really hard time trying to get back in |
1723s | you can see the Wall come out again |
1725s | their game plane is very simple they're |
1726s | just going to keep bring up the wall and |
1727s | hope that they can catch someone off |
1728s | guard that time Vancouver Titans blue |
1730s | able to sustain through it they're going |
1733s | to go for the blizzard but McMan Falls I |
1735s | wanted to call out that McMan already |
1736s | had the blizzard but I mean it doesn't |
1738s | seem like there's going to be a whole |
1739s | lot of followup I don't even know if it |
1740s | went off but that said bone going to go |
1742s | ahead and continue the investment try |
1744s | and uh get a little bit more value they |
1746s | do take down Mercedes but it's traded |
1748s | out and with the blizzard coming out |
1749s | from Mercedes before before before it |
1752s | All Falls Down Vancouver Titans blue |
1754s | they can't really get a whole lot of |
1756s | purchase and yeah that's just a dead |
1758s | fight and they used two DPS ultimates |
1761s | there Jer nightmare meanwhile has |
1763s | everything except for the blizzard that |
1764s | just went out soer Titans they're going |
1766s | to try to make some swaps Dawn is the |
1768s | May going to the Genji trying to go for |
1770s | some of that more consistent upfront |
1772s | damage as opposed to trying to catch |
1773s | someone off guard with the wall and dash |
1775s | through immediately take someone out |
1776s | who's pretty low a matrix going to be |
1778s | finally used here by CLA it's going to |
1780s | create some space but jur nightmare they |
1782s | are just kiing it and now they're going |
1783s | to fight it on the fo with all their |
1784s | ultimates it's going to be the overlock |
1786s | coming out first it's a very interesting |
1789s | uh ant Maj that comes out from CLA from |
1790s | the low ground to The High Ground and |
1791s | you can see the value that The High |
1793s | Ground from the low ground that jonno |
1794s | puts out with their ant Matrix the value |
1796s | that that puts out is exponentially |
1799s | bigger than the one that Vancouver |
1801s | Titans blue got there and a l stagger |
1803s | there onto mikum is going to make it all |
1805s | the more difficult for Vancouver Titans |
1806s | blue to get back in there 85% and |
1809s | Ticking one fight territory how do |
1811s | Vancouver Titans blue get in on here |
1813s | they do have a gratic flux they also |
1815s | have a sound Bearer so really it's about |
1817s | Nostalgia Staying Alive they have to |
1818s | make sure they can at least match the |
1819s | sound Bearer it's about to come out |
1820s | there it is they're going to use it |
1822s | early and now they're going to use their |
1823s | own sound barrier as a counter now |
1824s | everything is even but it's going to be |
1826s | a little bit of an advantage for |
1826s | Vancouver Titans blue because they'll |
1828s | have the overshoots a little bit longer |
1829s | and there's their first pick yeah and |
1831s | it's a pretty valuable one taking out |
1832s | the Lucio there puu is going to fall in |
1834s | Vanguard going to fall not long after |
1836s | and spinor is kind of going absolutely |
1838s | crazy right now the sigma play from her |
1840s | was absolutely missed no you know no |
1843s | shade toone on the tank but spinor is |
1845s | The Real McCoy and that is what |
1847s | Vancouver Titans blue need but now they |
1849s | need to run it back and hold all the way |
1851s | back up to 100 yeah they have to win |
1853s | every fight from here on out if they |
1855s | lose even one it is doomed here on this |
1857s | submap it's going to be one Z for G |
1859s | nightmare good news is that that blade |
1861s | that Genji swap is starting to pay |
1862s | dividends they are starting to get some |
1864s | Quick Picks but also that blade almost |
1865s | locked and loaded they know that there's |
1867s | going to be no um sound Barry because it |
1869s | was just used all right G nightmare |
1872s | charging forward phone gets a little bit |
1874s | caught out there Persona with a swift |
1876s | rail shot to the Dome and that is going |
1878s | to be the Bastion now taken off the |
1880s | field and that gives Jerry nightmare all |
1882s | the room they could possibly want to |
1883s | charge forward M McMan barely able to |
1886s | get out alive you don't want to lose |
1888s | another DPS Persona slides away narrowly |
1891s | avoiding defeat there the Blade's going |
1893s | to come out from McMan but there's a |
1895s | blizzard from Mercedes that they're |
1896s | going to have to watch out for and it's |
1898s | not enough McMan going to fall spinor |
1901s | getting Frozen up Vanguard does fall as |
1903s | phone is now back on the field Spiner is |
1905s | actually still clinging onto life with |
1907s | their bare feet and I mean Vancouver |
1909s | Titans blue just barely somehow are able |
1911s | to hold on here a token artillery strike |
1913s | coming up from phone might just be |
1915s | looking for a stagger 90% one fight left |
1918s | to |
1919s | go oh they're going to potentially want |
1921s | that back I think they were trying to |
1923s | force out the immortality field or get |
1924s | that really quick pick onto the bapti |
1926s | but neither happened it is going to the |
1929s | charge from Vanguard who can't get there |
1932s | Vancouver Titans blue it doesn't even |
1934s | matter that the artillery strike was |
1935s | used a great sound wave there to catch |
1938s | the tank off guard they're not able to |
1941s | touch and Vancouver Titans blw they |
1943s | steal one there yeah they understood the |
1945s | assignment there that Boop from |
1946s | Nostalgia and then the gravitic flux |
1948s | from spinor just as an insurance policy |
1950s | in case Vanguard still touched after |
1952s | that Boop that was just impeccable |
1954s | timing great play not a C9 by any |
1957s | stretch of the imagination you know just |
1959s | good old classic hey we're not going to |
1961s | let you touch the point we don't have to |
1963s | kill you we just have to Zone you |
1965s | out absolutely it's not a C9 there was |
1968s | there was an attempt there was potential |
1971s | to go for that last second contest but |
1974s | just the ability usage by Vancouver |
1975s | Titans blue too good at the very end |
1977s | very very clutch but as we move now to |
1979s | our next sub map here it's going to be |
1982s | very interesting there's actually going |
1983s | to be a stay here for Mercedes on the |
1986s | cetra we saw it last time for the |
1988s | teleporter so they could try to get to |
1989s | the point I really would love to see a g |
1991s | nightmare just try to teleport around |
1992s | vancer Titans who try to get behind them |
1994s | and go for some flank stuff but they're |
1996s | just going to get Vanguard right off the |
1997s | bat yeah someone needs to teleport |
1999s | Vanguard to a hospital right there and |
2000s | CLA is going to be more than happy to |
2002s | help out with that persona's going to |
2003s | fall as well and yeah it's just classic |
2005s | OverWatch with no tank there's no one to |
2007s | up all the damage and when it falls to |
2009s | everyone else they don't last very long |
2011s | Vancouver Titans blue once again with |
2012s | the first |
2013s | cap yeah and here's the thing if you |
2016s | aren't able to be aggressive as Vanguard |
2018s | as Yuri nightmare like you can't really |
2020s | do much with this comp you saw the wall |
2022s | it created a lot of space you can see |
2023s | actually jur and Nightmare is already |
2024s | now swapped back to the May no more |
2026s | symmetra they're trying to masch them |
2028s | once again but they're having a really |
2031s | hard time rotating into this you can see |
2032s | that Vancouver Titans blue they are |
2033s | getting smarter with how they are |
2035s | playing they're playing a bit more split |
2036s | they're making sure they can't get off |
2037s | card and again they get this first pick |
2039s | yeah jonno gets a little bit lost there |
2041s | gets uh found by a McMan who's going to |
2043s | also clean up Mercedes and this should |
2045s | be a pretty Swift Fight Win for uh |
2047s | Vancouver Titans blue and it was a good |
2049s | rotation from Jerry nightmare but they |
2050s | just kind of put themselves in a |
2051s | position where phone can just pump in |
2053s | all the damage melt the shield and with |
2055s | no Shield what do you got just a couple |
2057s | of icicles lodged in your temple |
2060s | Mercedes now trying to play some musical |
2062s | chairs with the DPS this is now the |
2064s | third swap they made the echo could |
2066s | potentially be a game changer |
2068s | if they are able to fly over the top get |
2069s | some sticky grenades in the focusing |
2070s | beam they could instantly melt someone |
2072s | it's actually going to be the artillery |
2074s | strike first from phone doesn't find |
2076s | much but it does create a lot of space |
2077s | once again just creating some space |
2080s | buying some time and that's all |
2081s | Vancouver Titans blue need right now |
2082s | they did also invest the amp Matrix |
2084s | though I think I would have liked to |
2086s | have that one back especially since GRE |
2087s | nightmare have one of their own as well |
2089s | as a sound barrier so they might be able |
2091s | to get some purches with this if they |
2093s | are able to get the angles they're still |
2095s | you know trying to find a way in still a |
2097s | little lost still looking for the lamb |
2098s | sauce right now and Mercedes gets caught |
2100s | out by CLA the gravitic flux from spor |
2102s | with the sound barrier to respond but |
2104s | having that out of play oh that was an |
2107s | opportunity for G nightmare to make a |
2108s | move and they just |
2110s | didn't that was every Ultimate thougher |
2112s | Titans blue has used everything in that |
2113s | last engagement jury nightmare they have |
2115s | ultimates but do they have time they're |
2117s | getting hunted down one by one Johnny |
2119s | who cannot live long enough the |
2120s | emergency doomfist for the touch CB I |
2123s | don't think there's going to be a |
2124s | contest here no everyone from Vancouver |
2126s | Titans blue is playing forward and |
2127s | there's another nice Bo there to stop |
2129s | Vanguard from getting to the point all |
2131s | the body blocking everything you could |
2132s | possibly want to not let that doomfist |
2134s | touch and again like you know we saw |
2137s | that in that early engagement Vancouver |
2139s | Titans blue invested two ultimates and |
2141s | they didn't really get a whole lot but |
2143s | time and space that was an opportunity |
2145s | for G nightmare to go in with their old |
2147s | advantage to try and make something |
2148s | happen but you know you had Persona |
2150s | going out for a flank that just got |
2151s | caught out you had everybody else not |
2153s | really pushing in to help make the space |
2155s | for them and it all just kind of falls |
2157s | apart there and Vancouver Titans blue |
2159s | once again second verse same as the |
2162s | first take control 2 to |
2164s | zero same beginning same first chapter |
2168s | but can they rewrite the script going |
2169s | forward they had a hot start last time |
2172s | again they got that control map in the |
2173s | last first two as well but then they got |
2175s | reverse swept losing the last two maps |
2177s | of the series to drop that game in the |
2179s | Swiss stage but it's a new Vancouver |
2181s | Titans blue it's a whole new day we'll |
2182s | see if they can keep bringing the heat I |
2185s | got to say for G nightmare I like the |
2187s | rinard swap it looks like it was a bit |
2189s | more comfortable for them um maybe going |
2191s | forward they will try to play the sigma |
2192s | counter considering or the sigma mirror |
2194s | excuse me cuz that's what they played |
2195s | most of the last series but I got to say |
2197s | especially on Icebreaker if you're not |
2200s | running the symmetra it's going to be |
2202s | incredibly difficult for you to make |
2203s | that R work I think on um sub level it's |
2205s | a little bit easier cuz there's a lot of |
2206s | high ground you kind of just like run |
2208s | around but on Icebreaker you have to |
2210s | teleport behind you've got to try to |
2211s | find them out of position you got to try |
2213s | to go for some of those crazy flank |
2214s | plays and once it didn't work you could |
2216s | see like |
2217s | the it kind of seemed like they were |
2219s | getting a bit uh frazzled they were kind |
2221s | of panicking a little bit you saw all |
2222s | the different swaps they never really |
2224s | got to build that alt Bank up and once |
2226s | they finally had ultimates it was just a |
2227s | little bit too late so J nightmare not |
2229s | getting off to the start they wanted to |
2231s | but they at least have one more map to |
2232s | try to bring it back yeah Vancouver |
2234s | Titans blue made it just a little bit |
2235s | too hot in the kitchen for GRE nightmare |
2237s | to have cold feet at the wrong time this |
2239s | is no time to be shy you have to try and |
2242s | make it happen like we said it is a |
2244s | first to two so G nightmare they're |
2246s | already behind the eight staring down |
2248s | the barrel of going to the losers |
2250s | bracket if they do not shape up it's |
2251s | going to be their map pick and just a |
2253s | prediction we're going to Nani like |
2255s | surely that's what's going to happen |
2256s | it's what happened last time it's what |
2258s | happened nearly every time I think there |
2260s | was like one oh wait no okay Midtown |
2263s | interesting interesting I was going to |
2265s | say there was like one matchup and I |
2267s | think it was this one that we went to |
2268s | Midtown last time actually now that I |
2270s | now that I think about it a little bit |
2271s | harder I put my noodle to it ji |
2274s | nightmare do like to go to Midtown so we |
2275s | might not see the the uh the spinor ball |
2278s | that I was uh potentially alluding to or |
2280s | we might and it would be even more |
2281s | insane but this does uh this does bring |
2284s | forth some more interesting narratives I |
2287s | mean this is like you were saying like |
2288s | this was the map pick last time that we |
2290s | went to I believe yeah it was Yuri neare |
2293s | who picked this because they lost |
2294s | control the last time they played as |
2295s | well and this was a 3 0 they got a full |
2297s | capture and a full hold on that first |
2299s | point for Jerry nightmare so they're |
2301s | feeling confident you know they want to |
2302s | run it back they want to say hey we did |
2304s | it once before we can do it again but |
2306s | again this is a different for Titans |
2307s | this is not the same roster they played |
2309s | last time phone again they were on tank |
2311s | it was a Reinhardt based composition |
2313s | most of the time I believe they only |
2315s | brought out the sigma for Vi junk City |
2317s | so I think we're going to see Sigma this |
2319s | time around I I think we're going to see |
2321s | that just consistently come out from |
2323s | spor cuz why not you know it worked on |
2326s | the last map let's make it work again so |
2328s | because of that I'm not expecting this |
2330s | to be a 30-0 I'm not expecting this to |
2332s | be an easy sweep for GR nightmare I'm |
2333s | expecting this to be a much more |
2336s | contested map like I could easily see |
2337s | this going three three and then we get |
2339s | extra rounds and honestly I'm kind of |
2340s | hoping for it cuz again all we got was |
2342s | two OverWatch last time give me more I |
2344s | want more don't worry we will get more |
2346s | as we move on to the the the first of |
2348s | Threes later on in the round like or |
2350s | later on in the day we've got we got |
2352s | plenty of time this one I mean there is |
2354s | a chance of it being a 2 if this is a |
2357s | little bit too much confidence coming up |
2358s | from gr nightmare in this pick like you |
2360s | said they won it last time why wouldn't |
2361s | they feel confident why wouldn't they |
2363s | feel confident when they you know full |
2365s | capped and then full held that seems |
2367s | like a recipe for Success nine times out |
2369s | of 10 but again like you said they now |
2371s | have to go up against spinor and spinor |
2373s | sigma looked incredible and I also know |
2375s | that she's got some other hero plays |
2376s | that I've alluded to in her back pocket |
2378s | that she can pull out I feel like this |
2381s | might be a sigma Arisa kind of deal for |
2384s | J nightmare that they might want to kind |
2386s | of bounce back and forth between those |
2387s | two Heroes we'll have to see what they |
2389s | do actually come out here with cuz I'm |
2391s | thinking about that first choke on point |
2393s | a and how it is that the attackers are |
2395s | going to break through it it's always |
2397s | interesting to me to see what tank you |
2399s | choose here I you know typically lead on |
2401s | junker Queen because I'm a one trick and |
2403s | very predictable and I am a simp for |
2405s | junker Queen but you know a lot of these |
2407s | tournaments we've seen a lot of the |
2408s | sigma play this is the only like |
2411s | deviation that we've seen not a whole |
2413s | lot of numbani Midtown and it still felt |
2415s | very stigma in Arisa favored I want to |
2418s | say this is also our first time |
2419s | personally you and I that we've seen a |
2421s | non numbani map here for map number two |
2423s | so it's great to see some other hybrid |
2425s | maps in the pool just you know you know |
2427s | it's fun to have variety but I am trying |
2429s | to remember I think from what we saw |
2431s | last week this was one of the maps they |
2433s | did run a r r on I remember new junk |
2434s | city was especially one of the maps they |
2435s | like hard committed to orisa on so again |
2437s | like I I wouldn't be surprised if vanard |
2439s | runs it back I think they'll probably |
2440s | try to run some of the same strats |
2442s | Vancouver T blue how do they adapt here |
2444s | I think that's the big question they are |
2446s | going to be believe defending first uh |
2449s | yeah so I I think the biggest thing |
2451s | right now is Van Titans but they really |
2452s | have to have a solid defense last time |
2454s | they got ran through a little bit the |
2455s | time bank wasn't the big biggest in the |
2457s | world but they did give up all three |
2458s | points uh they're going to be running |
2460s | Nostalgia on the Bita which is something |
2461s | that I also believe we saw a little bit |
2463s | from their last series didn't find too |
2466s | much uh success from it but I think with |
2469s | you know their fully intend up line |
2470s | fully intended lineup now this should be |
2472s | working a lot better you're essentially |
2474s | assuming that they're going to run an |
2475s | orisa and this is a great way to stop |
2476s | orisa from just running straight into |
2478s | you I don't believe it counters the |
2480s | javelin spear or when they or when the |
2481s | Arisa fortifies but if you know she's |
2483s | just not golden if she's not using the |
2485s | Javin spe can easily go for flail but |
2487s | it's going to be Vanguard actually |
2488s | mirroring for the first time on the |
2489s | sigma I I I think the BR pick is |
2492s | actually so you can throw cookies at the |
2493s | echo in the sky and try and keep that |
2495s | Echo a little bit a little bit sustained |
2496s | without like fully investing with a |
2498s | mercy and uh not having that extra |
2500s | little bit of healing and that extra |
2501s | little bit of CC and utility for the |
2503s | rest of your team that said like you |
2505s | said it's a mirror composition so both |
2507s | teams seem to have the same idea but who |
2509s | has the better version of it who has the |
2512s | the patent on it the trademark we'll |
2513s | have to see as it is Yuri Nightmare on |
2515s | the attack mer Mercedes gets stuck up |
2517s | there by McMan there and they're |
2519s | starting to charge through with that |
2521s | Bastion making a little bit of space |
2523s | here but they're not quite able to find |
2524s | the Angles and jury nightmare are forced |
2526s | back by Vancouver Titans blue puu and |
2528s | Mercedes both fall and that's a pretty |
2531s | easy first hold it's a really nice |
2533s | collapse they see that there is a |
2535s | advantage that they have they see all |
2537s | the abilities from the echo came out the |
2538s | sticky bombs focusing beam they're all |
2540s | down and then when they finally do |
2541s | engage on the side of Vancouver Titans |
2542s | blue it splits Yuri nightmare they |
2544s | aren't all together they catch everyone |
2546s | off that's from the side they get them |
2547s | first and they try to run down the rest |
2549s | of the team and they're continuing to |
2550s | put this pressure the way they're |
2551s | playing the stairs and kind of holding |
2552s | on to this High Ground for most of their |
2554s | team is great they still have their tank |
2555s | up front who's going to be making sure |
2556s | that they don't actually get all the way |
2557s | under the bridge for GR nightmare so |
2559s | just really great positioning play early |
2561s | on from vaner Titans blue and already |
2563s | Mercedes going to fall it's going to be |
2565s | a slow start for J nightmare especially |
2566s | if that keeps happening they're looking |
2568s | for an angle but every time they try to |
2570s | find it somebody gets punished twice now |
2572s | it has been Mercedes McMan has been |
2574s | phenomenal on the echo thus far and |
2576s | again jery nightmare they try to go in |
2579s | and they are swiftly repelled they're |
2581s | losing time already half almost half |
2583s | their time bank gone you got to remember |
2584s | the consequences of losing this this is |
2586s | a first to two Vancouver Titans blue |
2588s | they already have one point they are on |
2589s | series point they win this they move on |
2590s | on the upper bracket they actually get |
2592s | to take Jerry nightmare's number two |
2593s | seed as well being the victors and |
2596s | they're going to use the gratic flux to |
2597s | try to make it happen it's the gravitic |
2598s | flux with the artillery combo but a |
2600s | great stun does stop the flux and that |
2602s | gives them the agency to be able to take |
2603s | their Destiny into their own hands use |
2605s | the immortality field but the r clux in |
2607s | return is not enough to stop Vancouver |
2609s | Titans blue dislodge them from this |
2611s | choke point they have Matrix and all the |
2613s | damage that comes through it phone with |
2614s | two and heavy investment from both sides |
2617s | with Vancouver Titans blue they cash out |
2619s | with it hello they do they also got the |
2621s | duplicate which I didn't even see myself |
2623s | be used when Mercedes couldn't find |
2624s | enough value of it they will have an |
2626s | artillery strike and a rally upcoming |
2628s | but it's not a lot to work with they're |
2630s | going to have to take a dry fight here |
2631s | potentially lose it and then go back to |
2633s | the drawing board this is looking very |
2636s | dire for them them right now the the |
2637s | biggest thing they could do is they get |
2638s | the duplicate out maybe even get the |
2639s | rally out on the other side just get |
2640s | ultimates out so they have an advantage |
2642s | fight going forward but they are losing |
2644s | members left right and Center that was |
2646s | an assassination for McMan there and |
2648s | again jono is going to fall as well it's |
2651s | it's you've lost to many things you |
2653s | can't keep going G nightmare you have to |
2655s | get out I mean Mercedes going very deep |
2657s | they're definitely going to get punished |
2658s | there a trade actually but on the Ekko |
2662s | who's going to get back fast you |
2663s | definitely want more from that |
2665s | especially with only a minute left |
2667s | yeah with your Glide ability on Echo you |
2669s | should be able to get back to the point |
2670s | pretty quickly so hopefully no harm no |
2672s | foul over Vancouver times but they still |
2673s | have so much to work with even if they |
2675s | don't get MC them back just in the nick |
2677s | of time they still have nostalgia's |
2678s | rally it's going to be brone using the |
2680s | artillery strike first but it's going to |
2681s | be the rally counter immediately |
2683s | artillery strike does come out |
2684s | immortality field to save it spor falls |
2686s | though finally G nightmare have a way in |
2689s | and they're going to kick the door down |
2690s | and March right on forward MC them |
2692s | though comes back and finds two so you |
2694s | know the door maybe stub their toe on |
2696s | the way in a little bit there and |
2697s | they're not able to get all the way in |
2699s | still trying to deal with this pesky |
2701s | eeko but they have to try and get on the |
2703s | point and start taking up the progress |
2704s | they're not able to dislodge Mi them and |
2707s | that Echo is still going to be lurking |
2709s | in their backline they might have just |
2710s | set themselves up for a pincer attack |
2712s | and then they're going to go for contest |
2714s | they have got the time they've got nari |
2715s | now they're going to try to go from |
2717s | every single angle but sper just can't |
2719s | live oh there just wasn't enough support |
2721s | there the immortality field was a little |
2723s | bit too late and a potentially an overc |
2725s | commitment there from Vancouver Titans |
2727s | blue they saw the opportunity and tried |
2729s | to seize it but it was too little too |
2731s | late and not enough support there for |
2733s | spy or MC them now in the backline |
2735s | looking for another assassination but |
2737s | that's just going to be another token |
2738s | stagger trying to get the gang back |
2740s | together so we can try and muster up our |
2742s | defenses for a second Point hold yeah |
2745s | that trade now for Mercedes onto mum was |
2747s | huge the the fact that they don't have |
2749s | the full team there just allows yurri to |
2751s | walk onto the point they get so many |
2752s | ultimates out for Vancouver Titans blue |
2754s | Vancouver Titans blue still can't win |
2755s | the fight they've got Got High Ground |
2756s | now but they're going be ring right into |
2757s | an ant Matrix both teams pop out the |
2760s | gravitic flux and catch the enemy Sigma |
2761s | in it perfectly symmetrical violence |
2763s | never solved anything phone going to |
2765s | make it a little bit more asymmetrical |
2766s | takes down Persona a duplicate comes out |
2768s | onto the Bastion from Mercedes but |
2770s | they're forced out that said though the |
2772s | cart's making a lot of progress right |
2774s | now underneath and phone privy to that |
2776s | going to goad and pop the artillery |
2777s | strike take Mercedes out and now |
2779s | Vancouver Titans blew Coral nightmare |
2782s | into this little pantry and swarm |
2785s | themo probably going to get staggered |
2787s | out here hopefully there's no trade this |
2788s | time if you're Vancouver Titans blue cuz |
2789s | that was the difficulty you had last |
2792s | time but that's a huge stag that's a lot |
2793s | of time off the clock and you do kind of |
2795s | lose High Ground here with that cart |
2797s | moving back maybe you'll be able to get |
2798s | it back after the cart like fully moves |
2800s | back since no one's contesting it but |
2801s | there's actually plenty of potential for |
2802s | Vancouver T to also try to play in one |
2804s | of those side rooms just contest it like |
2806s | you would potentially on Dorado in one |
2808s | of those like rooms at the very |
2809s | beginning M Titans blue though theyve |
2811s | got to back up a bit there's so many uls |
2813s | for Jer or there's in a for out |
2814s | imortality field right away yeah and |
2816s | they want to go in with that they're |
2817s | going to go ahead and pop the duplicate |
2818s | trying to build up to a gravitic flux |
2820s | there and they're definitely going to |
2821s | need it cuz they've lost their primary |
2822s | one spor Falls but M just forced out of |
2826s | the duplicate and the rest of the |
2827s | Dominoes on the side of Vancouver Titans |
2830s | blw fall yeah like you said vanover |
2832s | Titans blue maybe wanted to back up and |
2834s | play The High Ground there cuz now |
2836s | they're not going to have the |
2836s | opportunity to the cart pushes past it |
2839s | and we're getting into really close |
2841s | territory they do have that natural |
2843s | cover from the map right out like the |
2845s | spawn uh capture point which is nice as |
2847s | a Defender but they got to run in they |
2849s | got to use rally to try to contest this |
2851s | and they're going to force immortality |
2852s | field with it y immortality field |
2854s | already forced out like you said and JY |
2856s | nightmare just going to back up a little |
2857s | bit but that gives MC them just a little |
2859s | bit of space and that's all they need to |
2861s | take down Mercedes and again Mercedes is |
2863s | going to fall early it is traded out but |
2866s | without that extra damage they're forced |
2867s | to invest a rock comes out and Vanguard |
2870s | can't get the gravitic flux off and |
2872s | phone just cleaning up anything that's |
2874s | left breathing see in their breath right |
2877s | away and J nightmare are not going to be |
2880s | able to cap here the cart is going to |
2881s | stop just shy of point B a great defense |
2885s | from Vancouver Titans blue Miner what |
2888s | potentially could have been the map |
2890s | winning play there the accretion on to |
2893s | their opponents their mirror on the |
2895s | sigma on the other side Vanguard can |
2896s | never get their gratic flux off it looks |
2899s | like vancer Titans blue is winning that |
2900s | fight regardless but that ultimate could |
2902s | have been everything they needed to turn |
2903s | it around instead they get stopped way |
2906s | shy of that third and final checkpoint |
2908s | they're not going to get the full cap |
2910s | like they did last time this is |
2911s | Vancouver Titans blue changing things up |
2913s | they are changing their Destiny they are |
2914s | changing expectations from the last time |
2916s | that they played in the Swiss stage and |
2918s | now everything is in their hands they |
2920s | need to get that hot start they were |
2922s | able to get a pretty nice defensive h on |
2923s | the G nightmare you saw what that little |
2925s | time bank that they had left did you can |
2927s | see them going for some more Panic plays |
2929s | they use ultimates quite Wily nearly I |
2931s | think more so than they'd want to they |
2932s | really needed to win fights to keep the |
2933s | cart moving over and over again but if |
2936s | van goer 's blue can get a better time |
2938s | bank going forward after that first |
2939s | point they can play a little bit more |
2941s | calm cool and collected and that could |
2942s | be their win condition to bring home |
2944s | Victory I I I think this answer is one |
2946s | of the big questions that we had about |
2948s | Vancouver Titans blue at the top of the |
2949s | show so far is this a full strength |
2952s | Vancouver Titans blue or has there been |
2954s | some semblance of lost time with them |
2955s | having to scrim with off rolls and Subs |
2957s | it feels like yes indeed this is full |
2960s | strength Vancouver Titans blue the |
2961s | cohesion is there they are coalescing |
2963s | they feel like they are on the same page |
2966s | some of the decisions that they're |
2967s | making are a little bit questionable |
2969s | like holding a little bit too far |
2970s | forward there but they're all on the |
2973s | same same page if they're wrong they're |
2974s | wrong together and McMan is going |
2977s | absolutely crazy they're getting all the |
2978s | assassinations that they need finding |
2980s | all the value on the echko and it's |
2982s | paying dividends and now they've set |
2984s | themselves up for Success they just have |
2986s | to break through this unforgiving choke |
2987s | that J nightmare struggled with and |
2990s | surely Vancouver Titans blue are going |
2992s | to have a plan for that so what is that |
2994s | plan it seems like it's going to be |
2996s | putting the wheels down and melting down |
2997s | Vanguard hey if it ain't broke don't fix |
2999s | it or rather if it ain't broke break it |
3001s | and the thing being broken right now is |
3003s | GRE nightmares backs as that grenade |
3005s | comes out phone with a pick off there |
3007s | onto Persona she's so much better on the |
3009s | Bastion than she is on the tank and it |
3012s | is showing up that is the easiest first |
3014s | point cap I've ever seen on Midtown they |
3017s | break the backs of J nightmare they are |
3019s | getting some great time here and there |
3021s | might be a contest I don't think Jer |
3023s | nightmare wants to force the issue I |
3024s | want to say there's a great from |
3026s | Nostalgia as well as M them you couldn't |
3028s | really see it from the POV of our |
3029s | observers but they went all the way |
3031s | around they tried to play that off angle |
3033s | Nostalgia also was on the Yari so doing |
3035s | a lot of poke damage they've actually |
3036s | SWOT now back to the Bria but just a lot |
3039s | of Chip shots they were getting in a lot |
3040s | more damage and that's when phone can go |
3042s | for the follow up they've all SW make |
3044s | them back onto the echo so a very nice |
3046s | first point specific composition to get |
3048s | that early comp or the early capture and |
3050s | now they swap back to the mirror to try |
3052s | to get things done not an exact mirror |
3053s | there's still a soj versus Baptist but |
3055s | you know how it goes yeah I I love this |
3057s | though it feels very much so that |
3059s | Vancouver Titans blue are on in the |
3060s | driver's seat and they want to put the |
3062s | pedal to the metal they're going to pop |
3063s | the ant Matrix immortality field already |
3065s | forced out Spiner getting a little low |
3067s | there they got to give a little bit of |
3068s | love to their tank try and keep her |
3069s | alive and as they do they they look away |
3072s | from phone for just a split second G |
3074s | nightmare make them disappear and |
3076s | everybody now charging forward from G |
3078s | nightmare with that duplicate from |
3080s | Mercedes they're going to pop the |
3081s | artillery strike just for a hopeful |
3082s | little H stagger there they find it onto |
3085s | CLA and |
3086s | well that's a first uh a first |
3088s | successful defense for G nightmare but |
3089s | four and a half minutes to try and keep |
3091s | that up that's a big fight win because |
3093s | of that High Ground we talked about it |
3094s | before how Vancouver Titans BL had to |
3096s | give it up because they play too far |
3097s | forward Jerry nightmare they're giving |
3098s | the space because they know exactly |
3099s | where the golden box of Victory is for |
3101s | their adversaries they can give them a |
3103s | little bit of room to work of as long as |
3104s | they continue to win these fights they |
3106s | started a nice alt rotation where they |
3107s | only had to use one to get the job done |
3109s | they're going to have Vanguard gtic flux |
3110s | they already have two other ultimates |
3112s | online rally not too far behind so |
3114s | they're actually in a great spot overall |
3116s | but they just have to make sure that |
3117s | vengar doesn't fall too low cuz they |
3118s | were getting focused down early but make |
3120s | them on this flank another assassination |
3122s | this flanking Echo is paying huge |
3124s | dividends for M them they might actually |
3126s | get a second one but no phone with two |
3128s | plus the immortality field and going all |
3130s | full gear is Vancouver Titans blue as |
3132s | they pop the uh graphitic flux phone |
3135s | finds a third and the defense once again |
3137s | for J nightmare has just been crumbled |
3140s | by Vancouver Titans blue and they can |
3141s | push up and take all of this space make |
3144s | them Absolut monster on these flanks |
3147s | first with the soldier now the echo |
3149s | duplicate locked and loaded and G |
3151s | nightmare they are looking at the lower |
3152s | bracket that is stearing them in the |
3154s | face right now they've got to make |
3155s | something happen right here right now or |
3156s | they're going down there's a whole lot |
3158s | of sigas out on the field right now as |
3160s | the duplicate comes out from MCM onto |
3163s | the other Sigma not able to build with |
3165s | the gravitic flux a lot of damage |
3166s | mitigation coming out from the rally and |
3168s | from all of the positioning being forced |
3170s | out but Mercedes Strays a little bit far |
3172s | from the path there got a little bit |
3174s | lost and gets picked off by Mam and |
3176s | despite mam falling all the damage from |
3178s | phone is just too much nobody can touch |
3181s | everybody forced back and Vancouver |
3183s | Titans blue |
3184s | convincingly put GRE nightmare to |
3187s | bed what a series from them what a |
3190s | comeback and again we talked about it a |
3192s | lot last time in the Swiss aate wasn't |
3194s | their main roster but we still had a lot |
3196s | of questions this is a team that again |
3198s | has never been able to finish outside of |
3200s | top six that is their highest placing |
3202s | fifth through six never into the top |
3203s | four never on that podium but they are |
3206s | looking like a team that is hungry |
3207s | they're looking like a team that could |
3208s | just do it potentially if they continue |
3211s | to play like this Dury nightmare they're |
3213s | finally tested this is their real first |
3215s | test I would say outside of that one |
3216s | match against strangers in the second St |
3218s | or in during the swits stage in the |
3220s | third round and they just could not come |
3222s | up with the win they were not able to |
3223s | find what they needed here and it's back |
3225s | to the drawing board for them the good |
3227s | news there are more chances later on |
3229s | they still have plenty of life here in |
3231s | that lower bracket it's not done and |
3233s | dusted by any means if Vancouver Titans |
3235s | by winning this by getting the upset get |
3237s | that second seed which means unless they |
3239s | play against Washington Timeless they |
3241s | will have that big advantage of picking |
3242s | the first map going forward that is huge |
3244s | for them and we look at Vancouver Titans |
3246s | blue like we look at their history in |
3248s | the Swiss rounds they beat all of the |
3250s | teams that didn't make it into playoffs |
3252s | and all of their losses were to other |
3253s | Playoff teams and they were one of those |
3255s | teams that again just barely squeaked |
3257s | their way into playoffs and that was |
3259s | them at roughly half strength they are |
3261s | definitely a couple of steps above where |
3264s | they were before and they feel like it |
3266s | this is a whole different team a much |
3268s | stronger a much more cohesive team that |
3271s | understands their win conditions and are |
3273s | capable of executing them and speaking |
3275s | of executioners we got to talk about MC |
3277s | them with all of those assassinations |
3279s | and once one of those comes in everybody |
3282s | turns their head to deal with the echo |
3284s | suddenly nobody's looking at phone and |
3286s | the artillery strikes go absolutely |
3289s | massive absolutely and you know it's not |
3292s | a wrecking ball we didn't get the funny |
3293s | we didn't get to see some of the cheese |
3295s | strats come out but I mean M them was |
3297s | essentially doing the job of wrecking B |
3298s | just being annoying being elusive making |
3301s | everyone turn around and getting the |
3302s | pick which is the most important thing |
3303s | wrecking ball can't always do that |
3305s | Wrecking Ball sometimes just runs in and |
3306s | feeds but when you have got an eeko when |
3308s | you've got a soldier like this you can |
3309s | just immediately get those one Taps get |
3311s | those connections either with a Charged |
3313s | rail gun shot or with the sticky bomb |
3315s | focusing theme combination that just |
3316s | melts squishier characters that is all |
3318s | you could need in more they get that |
3320s | pick at the beginning of almost every |
3322s | fight that leads to a 4v5 in the favor |
3324s | of Vancouver Tans blue and they just |
3325s | continue to roll and Roll and Roll from |
3328s | there and you can see some of these |
3329s | stats Mercedes in their own right also |
3331s | putting up some good numbers but I think |
3332s | the eliminations for 10 is really where |
3334s | you see the difference as well as the |
3335s | deaths per 10 not dying nearly as much |
3337s | for mum and just not getting way more |
3339s | impact overall the the deaths per 10 I |
3342s | think is the most telling for me |
3343s | personally because like almost every |
3345s | time that you saw mickan going in for a |
3347s | big assassination it was on Mercedes |
3349s | Mercedes often times was the first to |
3351s | fall especially on Midtown and you know |
3354s | even going back to uh to antartic |
3355s | Peninsula again was typically the first |
3357s | to fall and it was usually at the hands |
3359s | of mcum getting the better of that duel |
3361s | sure there were a couple times where |
3362s | they went into the backline and |
3364s | assassinated a Bita instead because you |
3365s | know that that's just you know who had |
3368s | the Target on their back that day for |
3370s | mikum it doesn't really uh it doesn't |
3373s | really matter who it was at the end of |
3374s | the day because MCM was on fire taking |
3376s | out whoever whoever it called for |
3378s | whoever was the target of the day |
3380s | whether it be Mercedes whether it be a |
3382s | backliner whether it even be Persona on |
3384s | the soj on that very unfortunate flank |
3386s | running into the very fortunate flanker |
3388s | that was MC them what a player what a |
3391s | team that we are seeing now what a new |
3393s | version of Vancouver Titans blue a |
3395s | version of Vancouver Titans blue that |
3397s | has potential to make a deep playoff |
3399s | bracket if they keep this up J nightmare |
3402s | like you said their bracket isn't quite |
3404s | done they're going to head on down to |
3405s | the lower bracket and they can still |
3407s | make a uh a Deep Run they got Blind Side |
3409s | of today but maybe they'll learn from |
3411s | their mistakes and maybe they'll come |
3412s | back stronger who knows there is only |
3414s | one way to find out and that is to stick |
3416s | around and follow the action throughout |
3418s | the rest of the day and speaking of M |
3420s | them we've got an interview with them in |
3422s | just a few moments everyone so don't go |
3424s | too far away we're going to take a quick |
3425s | break before the interview but on the |
3427s | other end of this break we'll be talking |

3605s | [Music] |
3620s | welcome back everybody if you're just |
3622s | joining us uh if you blinked you may |
3624s | have just missed our first round match |
3625s | up between Vancouver Titans blue and G |
3628s | nightmare it went by pretty swiftly much |
3630s | more swiftly than last time and we've |
3632s | got mickman here with an interview to |
3634s | talk to us about it mickman how are you |
3636s | doing doing great doing great very happy |
3639s | to be here I'm I'm glad to hear it so |
3641s | I've got two questions for you |
3642s | essentially first of all how does it |
3644s | feel to be back in a calling all heroes |
3646s | game back on broadcast and on playoffs |
3648s | and secondly how does it feel to get one |
3650s | over on the team that beat you guys last |
3652s | week on broadcast feels really good you |
3655s | know um you know obviously last week we |
3658s | were a little scuffed I'm not saying the |
3660s | phone tank is bad but wasn't our wasn't |
3663s | our start wasn't it wasn't our plans to |
3665s | you know run it down but worked out we |
3667s | got through and I'm really happy to um |
3670s | be able to prove ourselves in uh this |
3674s | weekend yeah absolutely proved |
3676s | yourselves a huge win like maybe an |
3678s | upset on paper but absolutely it looks |
3679s | like a dominant performance I want to |
3681s | kind of talk a little bit more about you |
3683s | know your lineup this week versus last |
3685s | weekend you guys had to play with some |
3686s | subs try to move some roles around how |
3688s | does it feel to now play like in your |
3690s | primary rules you're starting lineup |
3691s | like how do how does communication go |
3693s | like how does everything just flow |
3694s | easier now that everything is kind of |
3695s | set the way it should be very a lot more |
3698s | comfortable to play you know like last |
3700s | week it was like very stressful trying |
3701s | to figure out cuz phones hero pool |
3704s | is it's good but we we have to play |
3707s | ryanard for like 90% that paus |
3710s | there I think phones phones Reinhardt |
3713s | fantastic that's the that's literally |
3715s | the reason why we made it through last |
3716s | week but I think this week we are a lot |
3718s | able to um be a lot more um flexible |
3721s | with our comps I think we able to play |
3724s | essentially our game a lot better cuz we |
3727s | able to play Sigma for |
3729s | once and then um yeah so it feels good |
3733s | to be able to like you know play it |
3735s | feels better good to not feel as scuffed |
3737s | as it was you know like last week uh |
3740s | well speaking of Team comps and speaking |
3741s | of being scuffed I have some leaks all |
3744s | right I've been uh in the DMS with |
3745s | Claire and she sent me a couple of |
3747s | screenshots of compositions that you've |
3749s | played on numani now you don't have to |
3751s | leak anything but is that something that |
3753s | we can expect to see if we see you guys |
3755s | again later on this weekend those uh |
3757s | those comps that I've seen there for |
3759s | sure for sure you're going to see some |
3761s | you're going to see some cheese from us |
3762s | for sure okay all right that's that that |
3765s | that's like the main thing I wanted to |
3766s | know cuz I was a little disappointed |
3768s | that we didn't get to see nimani because |
3770s | G picked Midtown so it was back to just |
3772s | Sigma jail I wanted to see some of that |
3774s | cheese |
3775s | yeah you know if anyone wants to pick |
3777s | Midtown against us we'll gladly show |
3779s | them it that's all I'll say that's all |
3781s | I'll |
3782s | say well I got a question about Midtown |
3784s | because you guys I mean I think one had |
3787s | a much better performance than last week |
3788s | but two you I I there was something that |
3790s | was really impressive that I saw when on |
3792s | your attack and I want to talk about |
3793s | that first point kind of split that your |
3795s | team did you sent three members to kind |
3797s | of that main area underneath the subway |
3799s | but you as well as your elari went all |
3802s | the way around tried to play those off |
3803s | angles go for some of the sneaky picks |
3805s | we saw a lot of flanking that was very |
3807s | successful from you specifically how did |
3809s | that kind of play kind of develop and |
3811s | you know how does it work so well that |
3813s | helped you get that first point capture |
3815s | well going so going back into last week |
3818s | uh like when we lost uh Midtown I'm |
3820s | pretty sure we did strug we struggled a |
3822s | lot on the first one attack and I think |
3823s | it's just cuz like we didn't really we |
3826s | remember that they did run the brri and |
3827s | they were just running into us and we |
3829s | like had zero angles but we realized |
3831s | like after like watching the footage and |
3832s | all that that that angle that left side |
3834s | the Alleyway leading into point was wide |
3837s | open so we just knew that like we could |
3839s | easily like send like at least two like |
3840s | Ane and another DPS to take that angle |
3843s | and then they'd be like spread to sin |
3845s | and then we could just go in collapse on |
3847s | them and get all the picks that like get |
3848s | all the picks on them they did their |
3850s | homework chat and it definitely shows as |
3852s | they showed up and they aced the test |
3854s | today hey thank you for coming on McMan |
3857s | do you have anything else that you want |
3858s | to say any shout outs you want to give |
3859s | before we bid you farewell for the day |
3862s | uh yeah thanks to everyone who's been |
3864s | supporting me feels great to finally be |
3866s | able to play on stream again and uh |
3870s | thanks to everyone at Vancouver Titans |
3871s | too they've been really supportive and |
3873s | helping us out throughout the entire |
3874s | tournament and it feels great to to win |
3877s | thank you well thank you very much for |
3880s | joining us it was great to hear it and |
3882s | hey shout out again like to Vancouver |
3884s | Titans blue a team that we are |
3885s | definitely going to have to keep our |
3887s | eyes on going forward because they |
3889s | looked a little shaky with that phone on |
3891s | the Reinhardt composition last weekend |
3893s | but this weekend they look like we we've |
3894s | said time and time again like an |
3896s | entirely different team a new team a new |
3899s | Vancouver Titans blue stomping through |
3901s | playoffs we'll see how far their playoff |
3903s | run takes them and we'll see if we see |
3905s | GRE nightmare again anytime soon but |
3908s | definitely definitely don't sleep on |
3910s | Vancouver Titans yeah absolutely they're |
3912s | I mean if they continue to play like |
3914s | that they're looking like one of the |
3914s | favorites to me and finally we might see |
3916s | them Ascend to that Podium maybe even to |
3918s | that grand finals that I have personally |
3920s | wanted to see them accomplish since the |
3922s | beginning of calling eliro so this is |
3924s | the moment to shine this could be their |
3926s | best potential chance I mean there's |
3927s | always major three on the horizon but |
3929s | right here right now they are playing so |
3931s | so well W there is definitely going to |
3933s | be more OverWatch to come hey we still |
3935s | got some rounds wrapping up so we're |
3936s | going to have to see where things shake |
3938s | out for now but we're going to throw it |
3939s | to a quick break and we will be back |
3941s | with some more action right after this |

4520s | welcome back everybody to calling all |
4522s | heroes rise to together minor 3 my name |
4525s | is CB I'm joined by Jag and ladies and |
4528s | gentlemen gays and V you may want to |
4530s | strap in for this next one because it is |
4532s | going to be a banger of a match a |
4534s | potential Grand finals preview but |
4537s | before we get into that let's talk a |
4539s | little bit about the bracket shall we |
4541s | yeah we got to see exactly what happened |
4543s | in round one catch everyone up to speed |
4545s | cuz we got to see Vancouver Titans blue |
4546s | with a great upset but looking at the |
4549s | seating there were a lot of upsets here |
4551s | drainers able to Dethrone bare claw take |
4554s | their SE Val Guardians able to knock off |
4556s | Aegis also going to take their seating |
4558s | Washington Timeless the only top seated |
4560s | team in their own match that they were |
4561s | able to win but it was all 2 oh so I |
4564s | don't know if it's just you and me that |
4565s | like we're cursed and we're always |
4566s | getting two OverWatch or what's going on |
4568s | here but it was just sweeps across the |
4570s | board the good news though for you |
4573s | though is that from now on having a two |
4576s | is impossible because we're going to |
4577s | first to three so now we get the Jag |
4580s | three curse you get to see flash point |
4582s | at least but will we get to go beyond |
4584s | that there is only one way to find out |
4587s | yeah absolutely and I mean these are two |
4589s | teams that do know each other a little |
4591s | bit another rematch from the Swiss stage |
4593s | it's going to be Washington Timeless the |
4596s | reigning the defending champions of K |
4598s | all heroes against drainers another top |
4601s | team who again just came off a little |
4603s | bit of upset they were the number five |
4604s | seed knock off the number four seed so |
4606s | they do get to take that over it's not |
4607s | the biggest upset in the world but it's |
4609s | still something that you're going to |
4610s | feel good about especially going up |
4611s | against a team as good as Washington |
4613s | Timeless is yeah Washington okay can we |
4616s | make a change to this graphic here real |
4617s | quick it's a late request but can we |
4618s | change that to say Washington Flawless |
4621s | because look at that 20 down the board |
4623s | they haven't dropped a map to anybody in |
4626s | the Swiss stages at all even going up |
4628s | against Fable that Underdog Story I was |
4630s | talking about sent them down to the |
4632s | lower brackets swiftly right out the |
4634s | gates that's a thing of beauty it's a |
4636s | little bit more checkered over on the |
4638s | drainer side with their two losses |
4640s | coming to Aegis and Timeless |
4642s | respectively oh thank you actually thank |
4644s | you so much for that |
4646s | Solomon that's so much better that was |
4648s | that was just a bit but I mean it works |
4650s | out right like it it checks out like |
4652s | look at that like that's a thing of |
4654s | beauty that's a frame that right there |
4656s | that's a |
4657s | painting absolutely I feel like if |
4659s | you're trainers honestly like the good |
4661s | news again this is upper bracket this is |
4662s | the winner semi-finals so you lose this |
4665s | and you're still alive I think that's |
4666s | kind of the expected result but I'd love |
4668s | to see them take a map off of Washington |
4669s | Timeless I want to make them not |
4670s | Washington Flawless anymore you got to |
4672s | knock them down to earth just a little |
4673s | little bit and that would give you some |
4674s | really great momentum if you end up do |
4676s | losing that Series so I think draer is |
4678s | like it's really that's like the first |
4679s | step hey let's just try to take one map |
4681s | because as you see they did play in |
4682s | Swiss round six and that was a 02 loss |
4685s | for Jr they were not able to get |
4686s | anything going in that particular Series |
4688s | so here you win one and that's just the |
4690s | beginning of your journey hey maybe you |
4692s | can just continue getting some maps and |
4694s | all of a sudden it's a 3 0 3-2 who knows |
4696s | where you can go from there but it's |
4697s | kind of just about taking it one sip at |
4699s | a time sooner or later somebody has to |
4702s | take a map off of Washington |
4704s | if nobody they're just going away with |
4706s | the trophy and we have that we have to |
4708s | have a little bit of comp it can't be |
4709s | OverWatch and OverWatch forever we got |
4712s | to let Jag see at least a map four at |
4714s | some point in time surely it'll happen |
4716s | in a Washington Timeless game if they |
4718s | have anything to say about it I don't |
4720s | know if it's going to be I think |
4721s | drainers are Scrappy and they have the |
4723s | potential to make it happen but |
4724s | Washington Timeless are likely to say |
4726s | nay so let's have a look at these |
4728s | rosters and we'll see what they're |
4730s | coming out here with and you can start |
4731s | to look at this roster and you can see |
4733s | just why they have been so Flawless |
4736s | pretty much since the beginning you know |
4738s | sosler that's not your hero buddy I know |
4741s | I know I know them better than that |
4742s | that's going to we're not get seeing |
4744s | double mercy here sniper same with you |
4748s | shout out to bun the one lonely DPS hero |
4750s | right now here on that Soldier 76 but |
4753s | anyway like I was saying before I was |
4755s | rely distracted by the presence of so |
4756s | many gorgeous women uh two of them is uh |
4759s | you having Halo in this backline has |
4761s | been a phenomenal boost to this already |
4764s | strong storied dominant team absolutely |
4768s | I mean Halo coming over from the Valiant |
4770s | Guardians previously in the OverWatch |
4772s | League she has looked phenomenally has |
4774s | played all over not only the OverWatch |
4775s | League contenders collegate probably one |
4777s | of the most prolific players we have in |
4779s | the entirety of this tournament and I |
4781s | feel like she has just been an absolute |
4783s | dominant presence we saw it in the game |
4786s | against Valiant Guardians last week |
4787s | where she was able to show up her old |
4788s | team kind of show them who boss and I |
4791s | don't expect that to be any different |
4792s | here today this backline has looked like |
4794s | one of the best in the entirety of |
4795s | calling all heroes and in in general |
4798s | this team again like they're Flawless |
4799s | for a reason like they are just stacked |
4800s | across the board yeah wherever it is |
4804s | that Halo goes potential and success are |
4807s | sure to follow but following this team |
4810s | is going to be drainers let's see what |
4812s | they've got and they do have KJ still in |
4816s | the roster they don't have Senna back so |
4819s | they're still rocking with the same |
4820s | roster that they came up with last |
4822s | weekend which is interesting to me but |
4825s | there's still a lot of success and |
4827s | accolades on this team you know Kindred |
4829s | and Scarlet Scarlet formerly known as wi |
4831s | they do hold a calling all heroes minor |
4833s | trophy to their name under the nyxl |
4835s | academy they you know Scarlet actually |
4838s | does have the original calling all |
4840s | heroes tournament trophy in her back |
4841s | pocket as well so there's accolades on |
4843s | this team as well a ton of talent I |
4845s | continually tout kindrid as potentially |
4848s | one of if not the best junker Queen in |
4851s | all of calling all heroes and her Sigma |
4854s | has looked just as sick I was talking to |
4856s | kendri yesterday and I was saying you |
4858s | know hey I I want to see the junker |
4859s | Queen tomorrow and her response was Ryan |
4862s | just Ry so it could be the Reinhardt it |
4865s | could be a bit of a bait we'll see what |
4867s | happens here but I want to talk really |
4868s | quickly scarlet and Kindred used to be |
4870s | teammates with bun so there is a bit of |
4872s | that history from New York exceler |
4874s | Academy as well makes it a little bit |
4876s | spicier you always want to show up your |
4878s | old teammates whether they are Friend or |
4879s | Foe just hey you know you miss me right |
4881s | you miss playing with me this is why cuz |
4883s | we just beat you so there's also a |
4885s | little bit of that fun story line going |
4887s | on but we got to take a look at the map |
4889s | full before we get into the swing of |
4891s | things here because it's it's going to |
4892s | be the same as what you've seen so far |
4894s | but because it is a first to three |
4896s | there's finally going to be some more |
4898s | maps we might finally see escort we have |
4900s | seen flash well we haven't seen |
4902s | flashback we've seen some push uh on |
4904s | like when we weren't casting again like |
4906s | it's literally just when we we've |
4907s | literally only seen control and hybrid |
4908s | TH Far We've mostly seen them Bonnie in |
4910s | Antarctic Peninsula but there are a lot |
4912s | of uh options here on the table as we |
4914s | get into these first three series and as |
4915s | these series go on longer yeah you and I |
4917s | didn't get to see flash point Billy |
4919s | Elena got to see a whole lot of flash |
4920s | point last weekend but it's okay because |
4922s | we get to now from here on out it's |
4924s | going to be flasho and like you said |
4926s | maybe push maybe escort some interesting |
4928s | things to point out for push you know |
4929s | you don't have ESP pansa in the map Pool |
4931s | you only have coloso and new Queen |
4933s | Street which might be a little bit |
4935s | uncomfortable for some of the teams cuz |
4937s | a lot of them do like to favor asiran |
4939s | sub whenever they're given the |
4940s | opportunity to numani Midtown Ike invol |
4943s | we've know we've seen a lot of teams |
4944s | gravitating towards numani in that with |
4947s | the exception of GRE nightmares who seem |
4948s | to like uh Midtown but after last match |
4951s | they might be going back to the drawing |
4952s | board on that one but we're once again |
4955s | starting where we started in the |
4956s | previous match we're going to Antarctic |
4958s | Peninsula for our control map yeah and |
4961s | I'm expecting again a lot of Sigma |
4963s | coming out into play here maybe some |
4965s | Ryan again we could see trainers well |
4967s | yeah we're I'm expecting not Sigma from |
4969s | Jor at least to start things off knowing |
4971s | kred and how proficient she is on more |
4973s | of those quick Pace Broly tank Heroes |
4976s | but I am expecting to see it from |
4978s | Washington Timeless they have looked |
4979s | really really good when they've played |
4981s | the sigma we have seen a little bit of |
4982s | variation I mean I remember back on Le |
4984s | Jong uh Tower in their last series that |
4986s | we got to cast of them they did play a |
4988s | bit more of a hybrid comp we saw Halo |
4989s | bring up the brigita which was a huge |
4991s | difference maker against the Valiant |
4993s | Guardian so we know that both of these |
4995s | teams kind of have their preference but |
4996s | we also know at least for Wasington |
4997s | Timeless they can also bring out a few |
4999s | different things here and there yeah and |
5002s | that that flexibility is going to be |
5003s | very very scary but drainers are far |
5005s | from a one notee team themselves we |
5007s | talked again about Kindred and how much |
5009s | she loves the Reinhardt and how much she |
5011s | excels at the junker Queen and how great |
5013s | her Sigma has also looked but going up |
5015s | against sniper whose Sigma is |
5017s | potentially one of the best it's really |
5019s | hard to say cuz I keep talking about how |
5021s | all of the tanks in this playoffs crop |
5023s | of calling all heroes is they're just |
5025s | insane they're all sick players like |
5027s | every single team has an absolute |
5029s | nutcase for a tank and it it's it's |
5032s | incredible seeing the head to-head so |
5033s | this is going to be no different keep |
5034s | your eyes on the 1V one between uh |
5037s | sniper and Kindred because that is sure |
5039s | to dictate the pace of the whole map |
5041s | which is not to take anything away from |
5042s | the rest of the team because there is |
5044s | still a ton of Versatility in the back |
5047s | lines and in the front lines there's a |
5048s | lot of different looks that may be |
5050s | coming out here you know we see a lot of |
5052s | Bastion we see a lot of Ekko we see a |
5053s | lot of sojourn I know that like from |
5056s | watching drainers that they do like to |
5057s | come out with a lot of Genji they do |
5058s | like to come out with a lot of soldier |
5060s | and they do like to play some of these |
5062s | you know more pick heavy Heroes rather |
5064s | than the sustained damage melts you down |
5067s | like a stick of butter Heroes like |
5068s | Bastion but they can play it if they |
5071s | find themselves in need of it we got to |
5074s | talk again about drainers and how you |
5075s | know obviously Washington Timeless |
5077s | defending Champions have had a good run |
5079s | of success lately but trainers are not |
5080s | no slashes they've also won some |
5082s | championships in their own right the |
5083s | Kochi Kur fuffle recently for both Na |
5086s | and EU so you know they've won they know |
5089s | how to win but can they do it against |
5091s | the giant that has become Washington I |
5094s | don't want to see this as like a David |
5095s | versus Goliath match up because I think |
5097s | drainers gets a little bit more credit |
5099s | than just being a David but like this is |
5101s | definitely an uphill battle I I I don't |
5103s | want to interrupt you but like |
5104s | Washington Timeless was in that |
5106s | tournament as well they were in the na |
5107s | bracket you know they had a few like you |
5110s | a few players and parts from other other |
5112s | parts of the scene coming in and it |
5113s | wasn't the true form of Washington |
5115s | Timeless but it was managed by the same |
5117s | manager the core was still there they |
5119s | still had a lot of the same pieces and |
5122s | you drainers did best them but again |
5124s | since then we have seen some some swaps |
5127s | we've seen some of those parts move |
5129s | around a little bit more we saw the |
5130s | acquisition of Haley coming to coming |
5133s | into the fold and paying dividends for |
5135s | this roster drainers have proven that |
5138s | they can take a CH you know they can |
5140s | take a pound of Flesh off of Washington |
5141s | Timeless but can they take a pound off |
5143s | of this Washington |
5145s | Timeless full strength Washington |
5151s | time round one map thus |
5155s | far and going into Icebreaker it is |
5158s | going to be the Ry so kindrick staying |
5160s | true to what they promised me going to |
5162s | be going with the r first no uh |
5164s | symmetric and no way to really teleport |
5166s | across the map which will be very |
5167s | interesting but they're going to run |
5169s | straight in yeah Kindred she was not |
5171s | cryptic when she just said Ryan and I |
5173s | mean maybe maybe Orion should have paid |
5176s | a little bit closer attention to that |
5177s | message and message now received loud |
5179s | and clear kindered with the hammer |
5180s | swings taking down Chloe taking down the |
5183s | entirety of Washington Timeless and |
5184s | drainless are staking their claim |
5186s | planting their flag firmly on that first |
5189s | capture point and a nice little wall |
5191s | there and a follow up from KJ to stagger |
5193s | out snipers slow things down first cap |
5195s | to drainers that stagger is huge because |
5198s | they actually hadn't captured the first |
5199s | point until around when that elimination |
5200s | came through that's going to be a good |
5202s | 20% on the point at the very least |
5204s | before this next fight gets kicked off |
5206s | so plenty of time plenty of alarge too |
5208s | already Zurn so close to the amplication |
5210s | mes they should be able to get it in |
5212s | just a few moments and they're able to |
5213s | pop it before anyone Falls that should |
5214s | be another fight win for them because |
5216s | there's nothing |
5221s | on low has to pop the immortality field |
5223s | and Kindred actually gets caught out |
5225s | stuck between a wall and well another |
5227s | wall and they're just going to go ahead |
5228s | and run over KJ is Washington Timeless |
5231s | and off the back of those walls from |
5233s | Khloe like we saw last week the walls |
5235s | from Khloe have been phenomenal and |
5237s | Washington Timeless take the point off |
5239s | of the back of just that one ability |
5241s | right Chloe notice but as well one of |
5243s | the best players on DPS very good at M |
5246s | and you saw there that they just punish |
5247s | what draer tried to do they play too far |
5248s | forward in a choke point that is the |
5250s | perfect way for drainers to end up |
5251s | falling there they get walled off they |
5253s | lose Kindred early on and now you can |
5255s | see that because of that drainers |
5256s | they're trying to play a bit differently |
5257s | they're trying to rotate all the way |
5258s | around the point instead of getting |
5259s | caught in these choke points they're |
5261s | caught off a little bit they actually |
5262s | lose z turn yeah wi actually got caught |
5264s | out there as well wasn't there to give |
5265s | the healing wasn't there to help out the |
5267s | rest of the team and now she's going to |
5268s | want to take a reset because there is no |
5270s | team it's just you my girl you got to |
5272s | get get on out of there they're going in |
5274s | for the Stagger actually they really |
5276s | really want to take her down and it |
5277s | looks like they're going to succeed if |
5280s | nope nope nope she gets away with a |
5282s | sliver of HP and the rest of the team is |
5284s | back I'm wondering now if that might |
5285s | have been an overc commitment from |
5286s | Washington Timeless KJ going to goad and |
5289s | pop the artillery strike to try and |
5290s | punish the disengage and the rest of |
5292s | Washington Timeless are going to crumble |
5293s | the shatter comes out from Kindred is |
5296s | there with all the head shot with the |
5297s | icicles and drainers off of the miracle |
5300s | hold there onto her last little bit of |
5302s | HP from wi are able to flip the point |
5305s | what a play from wi Staying Alive |
5307s | building up a sound beer throughout all |
5309s | of that gets their team to re-engage |
5311s | quickly and it looks like bun was just |
5312s | caught out there a little bit they saw |
5313s | the artillery St coming in but she |
5315s | wasn't able to deal with the icicles |
5317s | coming in from the other side from |
5319s | invest so just amazing plays to stay |
5321s | alive amazing recontest from drainers |
5323s | and now they are looking very very nice |
5326s | but they have to look up for this |
5327s | rotation and this artillery strike |
5328s | coming out from sosler yeah and the |
5330s | gravitic flux to combo it with it's |
5331s | going to force out that sound barrier |
5332s | like you mentioned from wi but that's so |
5334s | much damage onto Kindred that the over |
5336s | Health just melts away and Washington |
5338s | Amos they can continue to invest |
5339s | blizzard for blizzard drainers they |
5342s | invest theirs as well but it's a lot |
5343s | colder for them than it is for |
5345s | Washington Timeless they brought their |
5346s | coats and they flipped the point back |
5348s | over 75% for drainers 56 and Counting |
5350s | for Washington Timeless and I'm not sure |
5353s | if Kindred didn't get that sound barrier |
5355s | or if they just got blown up so quickly |
5357s | that the overshield never really |
5358s | appeared but they were so weak no way to |
5360s | save them and Washington timel still has |
5362s | their support ultimate sound barrier |
5363s | already go PR and then zman very close |
5367s | to that amplication Mak they have so |
5369s | much to work with here yeah Kindred |
5371s | again walled off but there is a hole in |
5373s | the wall that she's able to slip through |
5375s | but KJ is going to fall and this is |
5377s | pretty disastrous it's too little too |
5379s | late for you to be having these staggers |
5381s | 85% in counting this is very much so one |
5384s | fight territory you got to imagine if |
5386s | drers want to flip this point Wick is |
5388s | going to have to go for a last second |
5389s | hold and you can see the fast hero swap |
5391s | coming out from K swapping over to that |
5394s | Tracer is there going to be a touch at |
5396s | all from drainers 96% and the team is |
5399s | approaching KJ gets sniped out on her |
5402s | way in and they just can't |
5404s | touch that's so unfortunate too because |
5406s | there was a trade they actually lost the |
5409s | on the side of Washington Timeless Z not |
5411s | alive that primary healing wouldn't have |
5412s | been there the sound barrier was forced |
5413s | out at the very end for that potential |
5416s | recontest but yeah you rely on KJ the |
5418s | Trac to touch within the last 5 Seconds |
5420s | that triggers overtime because they get |
5422s | sniped before they ever get to the point |
5424s | that overtime never comes into fruition |
5426s | drainers had an opening had a window but |
5429s | they could not close it out some amazing |
5431s | plays from wika but even more amazing |
5433s | plays from Washington the fact that they |
5434s | won that what was eventually the last |
5437s | full team fight without using any of |
5438s | their support ultimates put them in a |
5440s | great driver seat nonetheless to win |
5441s | that one out and that I I honestly think |
5443s | Washington ESS would have won regardless |
5445s | because of the sound bear they would |
5447s | have had that overhealing to go really |
5448s | aggressively but drainers never gave |
5450s | themselves a chance to even find out if |
5451s | they could beat it |
5452s | and you got to give credit to bun for |
5454s | that one peeling off from the rest of |
5455s | the team and checking the Angles and |
5456s | being like you guys handle the front |
5458s | line I'm going to deal with this Tracer |
5460s | that I know is coming in to try and get |
5462s | the touch but no tracers on the field |
5464s | now it's Bastion may all day baby Kindra |
5467s | gets walled off it it's going to chunk |
5469s | right on through it and continue to push |
5470s | though zman takes down wi and suddenly |
5473s | this Reinhardt is looking a little lost |
5475s | here there's enough healing coming out |
5476s | from Zep turn but uh with the focus fire |
5479s | it's not going to amount to all that |
5480s | much and everybody on drainers Falls a |
5483s | decisive Fight Win for Washington |
5485s | Timeless if you can get the Baptist you |
5488s | have essentially won the fight that is |
5489s | the primary healing Source yes Lucio |
5491s | does heal over time does do AOE but |
5493s | Baptist does a lot of AOE healing and a |
5495s | lot more of it in a quick time span so |
5497s | without that main healer on the field |
5499s | there's not much really that drainers |
5501s | can do they try to fight the one without |
5503s | it they try to get Bun they try to get |
5505s | Chloe but cannot really find anything |
5506s | for her and right now they are |
5508s | struggling they've already used their |
5509s | own wall just to try to create some |
5511s | space yeah I mean you can see drainers |
5513s | were kind of speed boosting around to |
5514s | the outside but then they quickly |
5515s | changed Direction and now there is no |
5517s | more speed boost W is just trying to |
5519s | keep everybody alive a great pin right |
5521s | through the window zman you shouldn't |
5523s | have Peak through that one Kindred just |
5525s | goes right on through but elsewhere |
5527s | sosler takes down two and sniper is |
5530s | there to help out with all the damage |
5531s | sosler looking phenomenal on the Bastion |
5534s | and they're going to stagger wi out this |
5536s | is uh a little bit of payback for the |
5538s | last map there but so much more time |
5541s | bought for Washington time |
5543s | yeah we saw quickly in the last map the |
5545s | stats of snaz who's been absolutely |
5547s | insane so far on this Bastion it's a |
5549s | great play from Kindra to get the |
5551s | Baptist on the other side take out zman |
5553s | but there's an ant Matrix that was |
5555s | already put out and when there is a |
5557s | Bastion with no Shield blocking them |
5558s | they absolutely going to fry and that's |
5560s | exactly what happened and now they're |
5561s | going to go or at least they're going to |
5562s | try to make a counter play Wasington |
5563s | Timeless going to use their gtic block |
5565s | okay great use of the EXO boost there |
5566s | from Zep turn to dodge that accretion |
5568s | there all that damage came out but |
5570s | there's still so much follow up Haley |
5571s | goes go in with the Boop onto Zep turn |
5573s | zman finds two on the tail end of that |
5575s | fight and off the back of that gravitic |
5577s | flux with no sound barrier to counter it |
5579s | and the sberry from wi actually invested |
5581s | late everyone from drainers Falls yet |
5584s | again and they can't buy themselves away |
5586s | in and this is now last chance it's been |
5589s | it might be 100 to zero ders has to do |
5592s | something they're going to use the |
5592s | artillery strike early on maybe try to |
5594s | get that immortality field out they |
5595s | don't find much in already you can see |
5596s | Kendra taking so much damage they could |
5598s | go for a sh but the wall the wall oh the |
5601s | sky get shattered but that's not enough |
5603s | to make anybody from Washington Timeless |
5605s | fall on their backs and they're still |
5607s | still alive still kicking Kindred has to |
5609s | try and make up for lost time there the |
5610s | beat comes out from Haley but it's too |
5612s | slow to save snoer but yest Falls |
5614s | elsewhere and sniper is pumping in all |
5616s | the damage with those spars and it's |
5618s | just academic at this point drainers |
5621s | they put up a good fight on Icebreaker |
5622s | but on labs they just get completely |
5625s | outclassed by Washington Timeless and |
5626s | that is a nice Swift 20 for them on |
5629s | control 9999 and that's what we had on |
5633s | Icebreaker and here on Labs 100 to zero |
5636s | trainers never really were able to get |
5638s | their footing it seems like they were |
5640s | caught off guard one too many times and |
5642s | iceberger also they just had some better |
5644s | rotations I would say there were some |
5645s | better opportunities for them just to |
5646s | run in with the Ry use Hammerman to his |
5650s | best ability and just swing for the |
5651s | fences here it seems like they could |
5653s | never close the gap too much damage |
5655s | coming in from the set of washing |
5656s | Timeless not enough space created and |
5658s | drainers will end up falling here on |
5661s | Antarctic peninsula one zero lead for |
5662s | Washington Timeless good news though it |
5664s | is a first to three as we talked about a |
5665s | few times not going to be a first of two |
5667s | like we've had previously on the stream |
5669s | so at least two more Master for trainers |
5671s | to get back into this but it's got to be |
5673s | more of what we saw on Icebreaker and |
5674s | not what we saw on Labs if they want to |
5676s | make this a close contest it if I if I'm |
5678s | Kindred right now I'm I'm putting out |
5680s | The Feelers all right I want Bun's |
5682s | address I want her whereabouts a list of |
5684s | her fears I I like time like every time |
5689s | that Kindred like died it was because of |
5691s | Chloe because of bun because of the |
5693s | walls more often than not and that |
5695s | shatter that you know she just gets |
5697s | lifted up into the heavens and never |
5699s | actually gets to put Hammer to Pavement |
5701s | doesn't actually find any value with |
5702s | that Earth shatter that's like the straw |
5705s | that breaks the camels back there I I I |
5707s | would be so Furious about that you can |
5709s | see here right right here she's taken |
5710s | her aggression out on zman a little bit |
5713s | but it's just too little too late |
5714s | there's not enough that drainers can do |
5717s | there is no real way there yeah there's |
5720s | there's just nothing there there's just |
5722s | bab you can't you can't hit him from all |
5724s | the way up there with that shatter it's |
5726s | it's so unfortunate and frustrating as a |
5729s | tank player to constantly be under those |
5731s | circumstances but Kindred is adaptable |
5734s | surely she has a plan B we going to look |
5738s | at the Bastion strats I mentioned them |
5740s | previously but this is just I mean look |
5742s | at the eliminations again the deaths |
5744s | again you can see the damage is very |
5746s | very similar it's not too far away only |
5748s | about 700 but the impact that sosler is |
5751s | having is is very good and I think |
5752s | that's part of one you're running um the |
5755s | sigma which like yes the The reinard |
5757s | Shield is like it can take more damage |
5760s | but you can move the sigma Shield you |
5761s | can create more space the angles that |
5763s | you can play sometimes can be a bit more |
5764s | unique but also the followup is really |
5766s | big and also just the heals that are |
5768s | coming in to keep sosler alive to make |
5770s | sure that they are able to sustain |
5771s | throughout these engagements you can |
5773s | just see that those two big stats again |
5774s | are really what show how Washington ESS |
5777s | are able to win out and win two Z on |
5779s | antartic Peninsula I I I I think a lot |
5781s | lot of people are leaning onto the sigma |
5783s | because they can try and play a tank |
5785s | that does enable the Bastion in such a |
5787s | way but can also play into the Bastion a |
5789s | lot better than the Reinhardt does you |
5790s | think about you know when the Bastion |
5792s | goes wheels down turret form starts |
5793s | pumping out all that damage onto the |
5795s | shield and the shield breaks suddenly |
5797s | the big Hammerman is there and he's got |
5798s | to face tank all that damage uh-oh |
5800s | oopsie if you're Sigma though and your |
5802s | Shield breaks you still have the grasp |
5804s | and you still you know you're not |
5805s | attached to the shield you've got |
5807s | distance you can back up around a corner |
5809s | get healed up and go back in live to |
5811s | fight another day once those Wheels come |
5812s | up and he's out of turret form you're |
5814s | golden you can keep going that's why I |
5816s | think that Sigma is a little bit better |
5818s | right now than the Reinhardt in this |
5820s | composition you can still get value out |
5823s | of the Reinhardt but you have to make |
5824s | sure that you're coalescing as a team |
5826s | you're playing fast you're playing |
5827s | aggressive and you're not letting the |
5829s | Bastion get the value and with bun and |
5831s | her walls constantly slowing the pace |
5833s | making it so difficult for Kindred to do |
5836s | that snaz has all the room in the world |
5838s | to constantly just melt down anything |
5840s | that stands in their way |
5842s | yeah but being an absolute thorn in the |
5844s | side of her former te teammate Kindred I |
5847s | mean if I'm but I'm typing a DM I'm |
5849s | saying Matt that's it just like you mad |
5852s | I just canceled your Shadow yes I'm mad |
5854s | I'm furious actually I would be if I'm |
5856s | Kindred come on but I I mean I think the |
5859s | thing that you mentioned is like it's |
5860s | not just the wall like cutting off the |
5861s | sh it's not just in the eliminations |
5863s | it's causing this Reinhardt to not find |
5865s | the space that they need to really |
5867s | succeed and I mentioned it a little bit |
5869s | before at the end of the map like if |
5870s | you're ride you just want to go in and |
5871s | that's why the Symmetry that we've seen |
5872s | in OverWatch league is so good at making |
5874s | or letting you do that because you can |
5876s | just you know you avoid the male there |
5877s | potentially you can teleport to The High |
5878s | Ground you can teleport behind them and |
5880s | can go for something sneaky like a sneak |
5882s | charge or a sneak shatter but when you |
5884s | don't have that symmetra that enables |
5885s | you all you have is that Lucio speed |
5887s | speed boost to help like get around |
5889s | things if you're running into the wall |
5890s | you can't really get around it if you're |
5891s | caught off guard by the wall if you're |
5892s | cut off by the wall from the rest of |
5893s | your team you're kind of just a Sitting |
5895s | Duck so there are just so many ways that |
5897s | this composition that Washington ESS has |
5899s | that makes the ride kind of obs Elite |
5902s | like either you're all in as a Reinhardt |
5903s | or you're not really doing your job |
5905s | unfortunately so I'm wondering if ders |
5907s | are going to swap things up maybe they |
5908s | go for that junker queen that we've seen |
5910s | Kindred play so proficiently because |
5912s | that shout can help you sustain a little |
5913s | bit better if you're cut off by a wall |
5915s | uh maybe they just go for this uh the |
5917s | sigma mirror match up I think personally |
5918s | that is the best thing you can do right |
5920s | now depending on the map but it's in |
5922s | Diner's Corner they get the map pick at |
5924s | least so they get to decide where we're |
5926s | going for hybrid and they have decided |
5929s | do you want to do you want to take a |
5930s | guess Jag you want to guess where we're |
5931s | going going is it Nani it's actually |
5934s | Midtown I threw you the ultimate |
5936s | curveball there they're taking us to |
5937s | Midtown so we probably will see that |
5939s | Sigma 1 V1 same as we did in the last |
5941s | matchup there although I'm worried |
5944s | because I know it's also possible to |
5947s | play the Reinhard on that first |
5948s | checkpoint and we've already discussed |
5950s | all of the reasons why we don't |
5951s | necessarily think that it's the best |
5953s | pick if anyone can prove us wrong it is |
5955s | Kindred but I want to see that Sigma 1 |
5957s | V1 I want to see if her Sigma is made of |
5959s | Sterner stuff and not see her continue |
5962s | try to beat her head against the wall |
5963s | with the Hammerman again I I think it |
5966s | comes down to symmetra like symmetra |
5967s | especially on the first point of Midtown |
5969s | can make a very quick and easy first |
5970s | capture you just teleport all the way |
5972s | around the side I think everyone knows |
5973s | the strategy at this point but it's |
5975s | really hard to counter we've seen like |
5976s | teams and OverWatch like try to set up |
5977s | an Anna specifically throwing in the |
5979s | Nate as soon as the teleport comes |
5980s | through they've seen teams trying to |
5981s | meet them kind of in that room next to |
5983s | the point but it's just so hard to stop |
5985s | them if they move quick enough so I |
5986s | think that is like the ultimate first |
5988s | point strategy but it gets a bit more |
5990s | tricky on that second point point and |
5991s | third point you've seen it be less |
5992s | successful as the map goes on so I |
5995s | personally would not like to see the Ry |
5997s | here just cuz I don't I mean first point |
5998s | maybe but like I think they would I'd |
6000s | like to see them swap up I'd like to see |
6001s | them do something similar to saw for |
6003s | manouver Titans blue they had a strategy |
6004s | for that first point they got that quick |
6006s | cap and then they swapped to something |
6007s | that was better for the rest of the map |
6009s | and I think that's some really good game |
6010s | planning and strategy that we saw from |
6012s | Vancouver Titans blue I want to see the |
6013s | same thing from drainers here to try to |
6015s | be able to answer back in the series cuz |
6016s | again that first point Icebreaker super |
6019s | close but Labs was not at all that was |
6022s | very much a one-sided Affair and you |
6024s | don't want to let Washington ESS get |
6025s | their momentum rolling cuz if they |
6027s | continue to play like that plays Domin |
6028s | like that this could be a |
6030s | three Washington Flawless they still are |
6034s | two's throughout the entirety of Swiss |
6036s | stage and in first round and even a nice |
6038s | 20 on control to boot but drers still |
6041s | have a couple opportunities to put a |
6043s | blemish on that record and Midtown is |
6045s | their battlefield of choice and be like |
6048s | we've talked about you know the Sigma |
6050s | versus the Ry we've talked about the |
6051s | symmetra we've talked about the Bastion |
6053s | and all the impacts that all of these |
6054s | Heroes Have what I'm hoping for is that |
6057s | there is a reason drainers chose this |
6059s | map that they have something that they |
6061s | feel very comfortable with that they |
6064s | have a game plan like we saw from |
6065s | Vancouver Titans blue I'm hoping that |
6068s | this isn't just because everybody is so |
6069s | sick of numani because honestly I am too |
6072s | but hey if you want to win you got to |
6074s | play what you're going to be strongest |
6075s | at so surely surely for drainers this is |
6079s | what they feel the strongest on |
6082s | yeah I agree and I think that plays into |
6084s | my last point a little bit like you have |
6086s | to have a strategy coming into this you |
6087s | have to have a game plan you can't just |
6089s | continue to run the same thing over and |
6090s | over again and hope that it works is |
6092s | it's clearly not working at the moment |
6094s | sure maybe with a different map type |
6097s | maybe have some more High Ground because |
6098s | I I I talked about this so much but I |
6100s | feel like Antarctic Peninsula does have |
6101s | high ground but it's not nearly as |
6102s | important to contest unless you're like |
6104s | on suble Lev other than that it seems |
6106s | pretty not important usually you're just |
6108s | throwing yourself at the point anyway |
6110s | and both teams are just kind of battling |
6111s | it out on there but it does seem like |
6114s | the switch up is going to be the junker |
6116s | Queen again so no Ry we're going to swap |
6119s | things up back to Kindred potentially |
6121s | best tank and see if that they can make |
6124s | that work they're going to be on defense |
6125s | first so they're going to be run into a |
6126s | bit watching Tim list I mean it's just |
6128s | Tri and true we're just going back to |
6130s | the bun May back to the sosler bapt or |
6133s | Bastion excuse me there's going to be a |
6134s | Baptist from zman but I mean you got to |
6138s | see something different from Jers right |
6139s | this is going to be a different look but |
6140s | I want to see a different too I do I I |
6143s | do really like this pick from Kindred |
6145s | because again she is one of the best |
6146s | junker queens that we have in calling |
6147s | all heroes but the thing that she lose |
6149s | out on when you pick the junker Queen is |
6151s | the ability to control angles and that's |
6152s | what Sigma actually gives you there |
6154s | early Wall comes out from aesta try and |
6156s | segment off sniper and W with a head |
6159s | shot there onto Chloe and that's going |
6161s | to be a pretty big pickoff but those are |
6162s | two even bigger ones from sosler oh my |
6166s | Lord just taking down the backline and |
6168s | yeah suddenly you can't control angles |
6169s | you can't control much of anything sure |
6171s | they're going to get a couple of picks |
6172s | here but without the healing it's only a |
6174s | matter of time before was in Timeless |
6176s | start ticking up the percentage and |
6177s | they've already got some feet on the |
6179s | point there or near the point actually |
6181s | sniper not actually going for the cap |
6182s | there Kindred actually isolated there by |
6185s | Haley and the rest of the gang and this |
6187s | is just all over the place so Scrappy |
6189s | from drainers they're not able to find |
6191s | anything and Wason Timeless now they can |
6193s | put feet on the point and start to take |
6195s | up the percentage I'm not sure how kri |
6197s | got so separated I was thinking they can |
6199s | disengage they can go for a full |
6201s | a full team recontest potentially give |
6204s | up a tick or two but it's not the end of |
6205s | the world but they're they just seem so |
6207s | scattered they continue to throw bodies |
6208s | at the point but there's really no Rhyme |
6210s | or Reason for it they're just staggering |
6212s | themselves a bit and it took a little |
6213s | bit but washing ESS will get the point |
6215s | you can see the impact that suler has on |
6217s | the Bastion there's no Bastion now from |
6219s | drainers they have a s and a may they go |
6222s | a little bit too far forward and they |
6223s | just get even though they get the first |
6224s | pick they just get obliterated ESS |
6226s | aren't even pushing the point right now |
6227s | they're trying to take this High Ground |
6228s | because they know exactly where drainers |
6230s | have spawned where they're going to try |
6231s | and hold they want to try and take the |
6233s | aggression let the payload get that auto |
6235s | progress and now they can start pushing |
6236s | it but now they're going to actually |
6237s | push the advantage they take down wika |
6239s | sniper going to invest their gravitic |
6241s | flux and send everyone crashing back |
6243s | down to earth a nice wall from K or |
6245s | sorry a nice wall from bun I don't know |
6248s | how many times I'm going to be saying |
6249s | that to stop the the ax swing coming out |
6251s | from Kindred and drainers once again |
6254s | collapse the calling all heroes |
6256s | appreciation for buns balls that that's |
6258s | it just like we need to put like a |
6260s | highlight rail just all the amazing May |
6262s | walls that bun has had all the amazing |
6264s | May plays that she said because I mean |
6266s | this character I feel like a lot of |
6268s | people underestimate what she like you |
6269s | can do on a and this is exactly you can |
6271s | do not only the head shot but just the |
6272s | team plays you can make it's giving |
6273s | watching plenty of positioning but it's |
6275s | going to be the M Matrix from z turn to |
6277s | try to make something happen oh the the |
6279s | Rampage goes out on zlo but she just ice |
6281s | blocks through it the Rampage actually |
6283s | gets nothing and if s is going to fall |
6285s | and so will KJ and this is just |
6288s | disastrous for drainers they invest two |
6290s | ultimates and they come come up with |
6291s | zilch NADA the drain is clogged and |
6294s | watched in Timeless they just continue |
6296s | to march on forward there's not even |
6298s | going to be a contest here it looks like |
6300s | actually no wi with the aid of the sound |
6302s | barrier overhal is actually going to get |
6303s | a brief contest there the blizzard comes |
6306s | out from evest but it's not even it's |
6308s | not even slowing Washington Timeless |
6310s | down a little bit Yeah they are |
6312s | continuing to march on for that sound |
6314s | barrier from Haley was clutch help them |
6317s | get away from the blizz that came out |
6319s | from a doesn't am to any eliminations |
6322s | and it was like I feel like this map in |
6323s | general has been very all over the place |
6325s | very uh I don't want to say sloppy but |
6328s | just kind of like not coordinated we're |
6330s | now seeing the bun Widowmaker cuz sure |
6332s | why not I mean there's some nice High |
6333s | Ground I guess here on the second point |
6335s | maybe can go for a quick pick here or |
6336s | there but it definitely hasn't had the |
6338s | same kind of team play that we saw in |
6340s | the last M it's definitely been a little |
6341s | bit more chaotic I I feel like hit scan |
6343s | play here is a lot more Defender favor |
6345s | because you have access to that high |
6346s | ground but hey you know I trust bun |
6349s | swapping off the May is a little bit |
6351s | interesting she's had better walls than |
6352s | Chris Jericho but that said coming out |
6355s | from sniper snaz are going to go ahead |
6356s | and melt down wi it's a trade though as |
6358s | sniper does fall gets a little bit too |
6360s | aggressive there zman going to go ahead |
6362s | and clap back though takes down KJ and |
6364s | it is Scrappy but still favoring washing |
6367s | in Timeless even without sniper there to |
6368s | hold down the forth the cart continues |
6370s | to move and wi you're taking some |
6372s | aggressive angles there Zep turn takes |
6374s | down snower and uh yeah Chloe just going |
6377s | to turn right around the sniper Ry it's |
6381s | about the game and how you play it and |
6382s | now they are making some |
6388s | changes play right into the face of |
6391s | Kindred but it's going to be a rampage |
6393s | that's going to go through the entire |
6394s | team immortality comes out from zman but |
6396s | it is f as is z man and ye going to go |
6399s | ahead and press the advantage and |
6401s | drainers they have finally dug their |
6403s | heals in and stake their claim but |
6405s | they're not done they're going to keep |
6406s | pushing up forward and try and hold |
6407s | watched in Timeless in the spawn nope |
6410s | scratch that they're just going to go |
6411s | ahead and back up and hold at the choke |
6413s | much smarter I was would have been very |
6414s | worried if they had tried to go for a |
6416s | spawn hold there so back to the sigma |
6418s | but not swapping off little maker |
6420s | actually stopping sosler onto the Genji |
6422s | so mirroring that pick from invest on |
6424s | the other side it seems like Wasington |
6426s | timel their momentum has finally been |
6427s | stopped and I'm really surprised they're |
6428s | not running the same comp they had been |
6430s | the entire map it it didn't really seem |
6432s | like it wasn't working it seemed like |
6433s | they slowed themselves down with these |
6434s | swaps but s are going to open things |
6436s | back up and get that Dash onto wo yeah |
6438s | but look at the damage that WatchON and |
6439s | ESS are taking they lose ha though and |
6441s | they do have the spawn advantage and |
6442s | with this Dragon Blade coming out fromes |
6444s | can't quite find zman and Chloe is |
6446s | actually there for the clean up it still |
6448s | feels so even but a nice head shot there |
6451s | onto Kindred and zman with the ant |
6453s | Matrix means that waston Timeless are |
6455s | going to be the beneficiaries of this |
6456s | fight get a little bit more cart |
6458s | progress and Chloe can finally get set |
6459s | up somewhere |
6461s | comfortable have to use an AM to get it |
6463s | done but they still have that s almost |
6465s | ready to go sniper isn't too far away |
6467s | from that gravitic flux and you can see |
6470s | that drainer is there are pushed back |
6471s | all the way into their own spawn they do |
6473s | have a sound barrier of their own almost |
6474s | ready to go so that is kind of their |
6476s | fight winner potentially at least could |
6478s | sustain them throughout a tightly uh |
6481s | contested engagement but they're you can |
6484s | see like they're getting split already I |
6485s | mean look at where kred is once again |
6487s | completely away from the rest of the |
6488s | team they don't get punished for it |
6489s | she's really lucky that they didn't just |
6490s | try to collapse but the rest of the |
6492s | team's getting collapsed on the other |
6493s | side yeah she was trying to set up like |
6495s | a pincer attack expecting them to come |
6496s | through the main choke point but |
6497s | Washington Timeless just go on a flank |
6499s | they invest their gravitic flux the |
6500s | sound from wi is good so everyone |
6502s | sustains for now but I mean a potential |
6505s | mispositioning a bit of a misplay there |
6507s | from Kindred and the sound bar from |
6508s | Haley is going to punish it and |
6510s | Wasington Timeless they continue to |
6512s | March forward and the rest of drainers |
6514s | Zep turn is going to fall there's only a |
6516s | scant few bodies left to try and get the |
6518s | contest there sosler with the Dragon |
6520s | Blade going to slice those bodies clean |
6522s | in half and this cart is going all the |
6524s | way to checkpoint C Washington Timeless |
6527s | cap with a minute 35 in the time bank |
6529s | and drainer is looking a little bit |
6532s | lost yeah you could see I mean again I |
6535s | think this map was a little bit more |
6537s | chaotic than we saw on Antarctic |
6539s | Peninsula a lot of fights all over the |
6541s | place members of both teams scattered |
6542s | Which Way but it was trainers that got |
6544s | punished the most for it I was saying |
6546s | that Washington Timeless I was surprised |
6547s | they weren't punishing uh where Kindred |
6550s | was but they actually played that so |
6551s | smart I I was completely wrong in my |
6553s | initial analysis they waited for both s |
6555s | ultimates to be gone from the side of |
6557s | drainers and then once that amplication |
6559s | Matrix faded once the sound barrier over |
6562s | shields were gone that's when they hit |
6563s | the go button that's when they engaged |
6565s | and that's when they were able to win |
6567s | out that point a minute 35 and not a not |
6570s | a lot of time overall but I feel like a |
6572s | map like Midtown is really hard to |
6573s | complete fully as is so great that |
6576s | they're able to get the job done and it |
6577s | makes their defense so much easier they |
6579s | know they didn't give up a little bit of |
6581s | the map here and there because they know |
6582s | that they've completed it they know they |
6583s | have more than a minute so the extra |
6585s | time overtime um or extra round |
6588s | scenarios are in their favor as is and |
6590s | it makes their wicon so much easier to |
6592s | go up to in the series they can play a |
6593s | little bit more relaxed a little bit |
6595s | less fast and furious and I think |
6597s | overall they've played a little bit more |
6598s | Cal cool and collected throughout this |
6600s | map and those fight wins at the end that |
6602s | full cap at the end shows that that |
6604s | strategy is paying off I I I see Khloe |
6607s | going back over onto the May which I'm |
6609s | very glad to see but I mean I I wasn't |
6611s | in love with the Widow pick but there is |
6613s | actually some logic to it right like you |
6615s | know you want if you're on junker Queen |
6617s | you want to go aggressive you want to |
6618s | brawl you want to take the fight right |
6619s | to the enemy tank but without a shield |
6621s | that leaves your back line vulnerable to |
6622s | a couple of head shot so you know it's |
6624s | at least rooted in a little bit of logic |
6626s | but that said the M play has been |
6628s | phenomenal hello we get to see a all |
6631s | reliable that's symmetra that you were |
6632s | talking about and now drainers have |
6634s | access to this High Ground overlooking |
6635s | the point and WatchON Timeless they got |
6637s | to try and find a way to root him out of |
6638s | there it's going to be difficult though |
6640s | they teleport it to The High Ground |
6641s | instead of the low ground usually you |
6642s | teleport to the low ground to |
6643s | immediately go on to the point you can |
6645s | see that watch thas has already |
6646s | basically rotated to where they expect |
6648s | trainers to come out now they've got to |
6650s | actually deal with them being run up on |
6652s | and so far it's an even fight o very |
6655s | close for sosler and finally drainers |
6657s | they've actually taken already one tick |
6658s | maybe even two yeah it's looking like |
6660s | it's going to be two and watch and |
6662s | Timeless they haven't really been able |
6663s | to find a way in it's do or die though |
6664s | they have to try and go in now and the |
6666s | knife being stuck into sniper there the |
6668s | punish but Kindred goes so aggressive to |
6670s | try and make that happen it has to be |
6672s | worth it they trade out for snaz is it |
6674s | going to be worth it not if you lose |
6676s | your Baptist as well but the cap the cap |
6679s | nobody would nobody from Timeless was |
6681s | touching and drers just snaked it right |
6683s | out from under them all right uh we can |
6685s | officially start the Cloud9 C9 uh count |
6689s | at one because that was absolutely a C9 |
6692s | it looks like Washington ESS was winning |
6694s | that fight but the positioning just |
6696s | wasn't there you can see sniper that was |
6698s | a really nice play by w we got to talk |
6700s | about that that was a sound wave by wi |
6702s | that knocks sigtigma off the point and |
6703s | no one else was there to contest I mean |
6705s | waston Timeless they have to be reeling |
6707s | from that but it's time to collect |
6708s | yourself try and hold this High Ground |
6710s | draer they have to try and take it from |
6711s | you there's another great wall coming |
6713s | out from Chloe and it punishes Kindred |
6715s | yet again the aggression being stifled |
6717s | and now wika kind of stuck in in one |
6721s | place you definitely don't want to be a |
6722s | narrow hallway with sniper and all those |
6724s | spheres bouncing all over the place like |
6726s | a bouncy house you don't want that |
6728s | drainers despite the miracle cap have |
6731s | now been stuffed yeah this is not good |
6733s | for them he even though the ultimate's |
6735s | not looking too bad they really want to |
6736s | get around this first Corner the fact |
6738s | that you're going to see Wasing Thomas |
6739s | be able to hold on to this High Ground |
6740s | pulled around that first B not great |
6743s | positioning for the side of drainers |
6745s | they're going to have to try to break |
6746s | this ho they're going to pressure out |
6747s | sniper and do a lot of damage but now |
6748s | you can use that an Matrix on the low |
6750s | ground try to pressure out that High |
6751s | Ground more that they've had to give it |
6752s | up on the side of Washington Times and |
6753s | they're going to teleport straight in |
6755s | yeah the am Matrix actually kites the |
6757s | rest of waston Timeless back so they can |
6758s | put that teleporter down and go in and |
6760s | try and take The High Ground that way |
6761s | they're going to trade outs for sosler I |
6763s | think you take that right now but Chloe |
6765s | going in with the blizzard and the wall |
6767s | she really really wants to punish |
6768s | Kindred and the whole gang is there to |
6770s | back her up and they are going to get it |
6772s | but they trade out zman trades for |
6774s | trades back and forth and little bits of |
6776s | cart progress continuing going to go |
6778s | ahead and Pop That Photon barrier and |
6780s | suddenly it's a little bit risky for |
6781s | Washington timas to try and go in for |
6783s | the contest here so they're just kind of |
6785s | stuck down here in this low ground and |
6787s | yeah they're going to take the back door |
6788s | they want out I was talking about this |
6790s | in our last series that you can contest |
6792s | from this room they can't move the cart |
6794s | and okay they're just going to run |
6795s | straight into the room but they are |
6797s | completely split again but that's going |
6798s | to be kg gets the artillery strike it |
6800s | gets one they need to find more if they |
6802s | want to keep this C moving though it |
6804s | does root them out from that underground |
6805s | positioning and does let them continue |
6807s | to make cart progress but this ant |
6808s | Matrix and with sosler behind it it's |
6810s | going to be so much harder to get any |
6811s | more than that the head shot coming |
6814s | through from Chloe from zman and Wason |
6816s | Timeless another successful defense a |
6818s | Scrappy and long one and a costly one at |
6821s | that yeah these teams are not afraid to |
6823s | fight down a member they are not afraid |
6825s | to throw SS in even if they are in a 3v4 |
6828s | disadvantage they are trying to win the |
6830s | these fights time and time again which |
6831s | is really surprising for drainers |
6833s | because they still have a lot of time to |
6834s | work with they captured like 5 minutes |
6836s | originally down to three now and |
6838s | counting but they continue to try to |
6839s | push this aggression they use the |
6840s | teleporter as a bait and now they're |
6841s | going to go the Rampage but it okay it |
6843s | did hit a few at least I wasn't sure if |
6844s | it hit anyone yeah sosler is going to |
6846s | bleed out from that Rampage damage and |
6848s | Kindred is definitely on a rampage now |
6850s | is with the a of the sound boost or the |
6852s | speed boost from wicka she's going to go |
6853s | in this is the aggression that we've |
6855s | wanted to see from her and that she has |
6857s | been trying to apply this entire time |
6859s | she finally gets it a big Rampage hits |
6862s | three and they're going to keep it going |
6864s | Zep turn with the ant Matrix there it's |
6865s | going to get walled off but that's going |
6867s | to make it so much more difficult for |
6868s | Washington Timeless to touch sniper |
6870s | going to have to try and go in on the |
6871s | side there's another boot from wika and |
6873s | sniper cannot touch Washington Timeless |
6875s | are now caught with their pants down I |
6877s | sure snaz is pumping in a ton of damage |
6879s | sure you kill KJ but you've already |
6881s | given up the point if trainers win this |
6884s | map wi is absolutely the MVP she has |
6886s | been insane with these sways with these |
6888s | boots to make sure that Washington |
6889s | Timeless cannot get these objective |
6890s | touches even when they're winning the |
6892s | fight you saw that pick that come out at |
6893s | the very end like they could have won |
6894s | that if they actually got to the |
6895s | objective in time but they don't Wick is |
6897s | making sure that they aren't able to and |
6899s | now drainers still have 3 minutes in the |
6900s | timeing they could potentially get a |
6902s | better time if they're able to get the |
6904s | full capture and keep winning fights and |
6905s | and the fight is happening here not in |
6907s | the choke they don't want to give it up |
6908s | if they lose this fight Washington |
6909s | Timeless are going to have to give up |
6911s | the choke and they've already lost the |
6912s | the sound bar or sorry lost the Blizzard |
6914s | from Chloe they've find Zep turn but |
6917s | Kindred is finding all of the damage |
6918s | with her knife they've taken down snip |
6920s | there goes zman and that is the fight |
6922s | win for drainers the choke for free and |
6925s | now only one fight potentially maybe a |
6928s | stagger fight after that stands between |
6929s | drainers and the full cap and you're |
6931s | seeing why the Jer Queen works so much |
6933s | better when you're trying to close this |
6934s | is the shout that extra shield the extra |
6936s | speed just allows you to run in so much |
6938s | more easily if you charge of a Reinhard |
6940s | it's basically all in or you're done but |
6941s | with the junker Queen is not always a |
6943s | complete commitment you still have time |
6945s | to try to get out it's going to be now |
6946s | the gtic flux as well as the S but it's |
6948s | going to be the artillery strike that |
6950s | finds the first blow yeah everybody was |
6952s | looking at the flux nobody was looking |
6953s | at the incoming artillery strike that's |
6954s | a great return fire there though despite |
6957s | drainers finding two the sound Vader |
6958s | from Haley going to keep everybody alive |
6960s | on the side of Washington Timeless the |
6962s | picks come out it's still Scrappy |
6964s | Kindred still wants blood but it might |
6966s | only be hers that ends up falling here |
6969s | if I mean yeah there we go there's the |
6970s | clean up that took a little longer than |
6972s | I thought but it is going to finally be |
6974s | kindred's blood spilled the fight stops |
6976s | Washington Timeless they can take a deep |
6979s | breath they've held on yeah and now it's |
6982s | pretty unlikely that there will be a |
6983s | better time for drainers if they get |
6985s | this full cap still could be pretty |
6986s | close if they're able to move quickly |
6988s | Chloe now going onto the echo might be a |
6989s | little bit harder to track down as they |
6991s | can glide through the air the big thing |
6993s | is that there is going to be a rampage |
6995s | for kindri she could absolutely decimate |
6996s | Washington T they do have an imortality |
6998s | F on their side but they don't have the |
6999s | sound be that was used in that last |
7000s | fight to sustain and get that hold yeah |
7003s | I mean snaz are going to be going for a |
7005s | sneaky artillery strike here it's going |
7007s | to be popped Chloe is already taking |
7008s | down youest but it's tra it out here |
7010s | comes the artillery strike Zep turn is |
7012s | Public Enemy Number One the Rampage |
7014s | comes out it hits two but is it too |
7016s | costly they might actually be able to |
7018s | get some purches with this KJ takes down |
7019s | snoer the rest of the damage from the |
7021s | Rampage has been healed up but everyone |
7024s | was forced to peel back so the cart is |
7026s | going to move forward just a wee little |
7028s | bit here the accretion from sniper goes |
7030s | wide the commanding shout comes out from |
7032s | Kindred but they don't have the |
7033s | resources to commit especially with KJ |
7036s | so low and we only have a minute left |
7038s | drainers have got to find something yeah |
7042s | they've got to survive through this |
7043s | gravitic look so they there's also a |
7044s | duplicate from Chloe that is about to be |
7047s | online there's so much for Washington |
7048s | Timeless on their side and it seems like |
7050s | drainers can't find those quick |
7051s | engagements that they were able to find |
7052s | so much before and they're just getting |
7054s | stalled out it's all going to be on |
7056s | Wicked shoulders with this sound barrier |
7058s | here comes the gravitic flux from sniper |
7059s | is the sound barrier good yes it is it |
7061s | catches everybody but that slam back |
7063s | down to earth means all of that HP all |
7065s | that over health is now gone and we're |
7067s | back into the neutral Chloe in invest |
7070s | the duplicate with the Bastion but isn't |
7071s | able to find a whole lot for it KJ going |
7073s | to pop the artillery strike sosler gets |
7075s | so low but the pocket from zman is there |
7078s | Haley going to pop back with that sound |
7080s | barrier and Kindred gets melted again |
7082s | gets caught out a pick off there onto |
7084s | kloe for the trade but it's all going in |
7086s | Washington timeless' favor it's all |
7088s | orange and the kill feed right now and |
7089s | drainers have stalled out at the last |
7092s | possible hurdle there they were so close |
7094s | but the play for bestest finds two it's |
7096s | nothing it's nothing actually doesn't |
7098s | touch the point it could have been a |
7099s | huge play but didn't actually touch the |
7102s | Point Washington Timeless go up two |
7104s | Z yeah that is so sad for reest finds |
7108s | two or three members at the tail end of |
7110s | that map but finally the objectively |
7113s | they had been so good for them the point |
7114s | captures they kept getting despite it |
7116s | being a full fighter being down one that |
7118s | is what ends up costing at the end not |
7120s | being able to touch that final time on |
7122s | the cart and I've got to give a lot of |
7124s | props to Wi once again I I think wi's |
7127s | individual plays there with the sound |
7128s | waves with those boobs that stopped |
7130s | Washington ESS from ching The Objective |
7132s | made that a much closer map than would |
7134s | have been otherwise that first point it |
7136s | looks like it was going the way of |
7136s | Washington timeless it looks like they |
7137s | were going get that defense but then |
7139s | instead they don't touch same thing for |
7141s | the second point but they still can't do |
7145s | enough on the side of drainers to win |
7146s | this one out Wasington Timeless they get |
7148s | tested it looked a lot like more like |
7150s | the first point of anic peninsula it |
7152s | looked a lot closer it came down to the |
7154s | wire but drainers again just cannot get |
7156s | the job done here there it feels like |
7159s | and Timeless just have such a a strong |
7162s | grasp on how to control the tempo |
7164s | because when you look at Diner's |
7165s | composition that's what they want to do |
7167s | they want to play fast they want to be |
7168s | swift they want to go in with the speed |
7169s | boost they want to put in as much damage |
7172s | with that junker queen as they can get |
7173s | those big uh Mayhem a swings get the big |
7176s | Rampages built up Pump just all of that |
7178s | close-range damage but if you just play |
7181s | your space you just control the tempo |
7183s | you don't let them get that close and |
7184s | punish them when they do split them up |
7187s | and force them to make mistakes suddenly |
7189s | you're in control and it's drainers that |
7191s | have to try and react and they did make |
7193s | some very Valiant attempts but it just |
7196s | was not enough Washington Timeless in |
7198s | the driver's seat nearly the entire time |
7201s | and we only got one more chance for |
7203s | drainers to try and take this series |
7205s | back in their favor it's going to be |
7206s | their map pick as we go into map three |
7208s | yeah their map pick once again I mean I |
7210s | I like that they picked M 10 I like that |
7211s | they change to the junker Queen a much |
7213s | closer Affair overall in that last sub |
7215s | map of anarc peninsula just came down to |
7218s | a few he decisions some I would say like |
7221s | not I wouldn't even say it's mistakes I |
7222s | just say honestly that Washington thas |
7224s | made some really good decisions at the |
7225s | very end that put them in a superior |
7227s | spot all Bank wise positioning wise uh I |
7230s | really like the echo swap that created a |
7231s | little bit of chaos uh Chloe just seems |
7233s | like she was able to like fly high and |
7235s | be a big distraction because of that and |
7238s | drainers I like the Jugger Queen again I |
7240s | really like it because it does let you |
7241s | initiate a bit quicker it lets you kind |
7242s | of sustain more through all the Poke |
7244s | damage going to come through but there's |
7245s | still snaz on the Bastion that is always |
7247s | going to be something that's going to be |
7249s | in your way we're going to see here at |
7250s | the very end yeah it was only two at the |
7252s | very end you were right but that Bastion |
7254s | just does so much every time that anyone |
7256s | tries to engage s always there to just |
7257s | do a whole lot of damage yeah we have a |
7260s | little bit of a Baptist head-to-head |
7261s | here Zep turn and zman and it looks |
7264s | pretty close throughout but again it's |
7267s | the eliminations and the deaths that |
7268s | kind of tell the story you know you're |
7270s | still doing a lot still pumping in a lot |
7272s | of damage actually zman with double the |
7274s | damage that Zep turn had that's also |
7276s | pretty massive maybe that's a stat that |
7278s | we want to highlight as well but when |
7280s | your team is winning when you're in the |
7281s | driver seat constantly like that you're |
7283s | going to have more Limbs and you're |
7284s | going to have fewer deaths and that is |
7286s | the picture that I see being painted |
7288s | here more aggression from zmen is paying |
7291s | dividends more healing from Zep turn is |
7293s | a necessity because of all the damage |
7294s | that zmen and the rest of the Washton |
7296s | Timeless crew are pumping out and the |
7299s | rest of drainers just kind of crumble |
7301s | because even all of the healing that |
7303s | zepter is doing is not enough to stop |
7305s | the aggression and retake control of the |
7309s | tempo there but that is uh that is where |
7312s | we're going to leave it for right now we |
7313s | still have one more map between these |
7315s | two we still have a chance for drainers |
7317s | to try and pull out the reverse week |
7319s | we've seen glimmers of potential we've |
7320s | seen some of their best looks but it |
7322s | hasn't been enough will it be as we go |
7324s | to map three once again their map pick |
7326s | Hey Jag you finally get to see some |
7327s | flasho and we'll see it right after this |
7338s | break |

7569s | [Music] |
7580s | welcome back everybody the drain gang |
7583s | may be making their final stand here |
7585s | well not their final final stand cuz |
7587s | it's a doubleim bracket they might get |
7588s | sent down to losers bracket but they |
7589s | don't want that they want to make that |
7591s | run through the upper bracket and to do |
7592s | that they have to go through the best |
7594s | and to do that they have to use their |
7596s | map pick wisely their battleground of |
7598s | choice will be surasa for flas Point |
7602s | yeah I mean the thing about flash point |
7603s | there's only two maps right so there |
7604s | isn't exactly a whole lot of options |
7606s | overall I do think hu Jung city is a |
7608s | little bit bit more dynamic in some of |
7610s | the points I mean there's some funky |
7612s | stuff with high ground and there's like |
7613s | one point where there's like the point |
7615s | below High ground but you got to drop to |
7616s | actually get to it so I think it can be |
7618s | a bit more Dynamic for that Sur ofasa I |
7620s | feel like it's a little bit more |
7621s | straightforward usually you're fighting |
7622s | on the point there is some interesting |
7624s | kind of natural cover and you know |
7626s | there's some points that are like more |
7628s | encapsulated you know there's like a |
7630s | ceiling and stuff like that but overall |
7632s | it's almost always just kind of like |
7633s | you're running at your opponent which I |
7634s | think exactly is what drainers want |
7636s | because they want to run at their |
7638s | opponent they want to be very aggressive |
7640s | and they want to catch them off guard we |
7641s | saw it work a bit better on Midtown a |
7643s | very close two3 loss that they had and I |
7646s | like the junker Queen swap they had over |
7647s | the r but it has to be enough this time |
7650s | around it's been so close but it just |
7652s | has not gotten them that W just yet |
7653s | Washington is still Flawless they've |
7656s | still not dropped a map and they are one |
7657s | map away from punching their ticket to |
7660s | that winnner bracket |
7661s | final I I was doing a little bit of a |
7664s | think there in real time and we'll get |
7665s | back to that in a second let's have a |
7667s | quick look at the bracket real quick so |
7668s | we can see see how some of these other |
7670s | matches have shaken out so far and where |
7672s | we kind of stand as uh as it goes on you |
7675s | know we see uh Fable and AIS both |
7677s | getting the betters of their uh their |
7679s | opponents down there in the lower |
7680s | brackets still clinging to life I want |
7682s | to see more of fable as we go on Aegis |
7685s | still holding on we might have seen the |
7686s | last of GRE nightmare if that has |
7688s | anything if that has any implications |
7690s | those matchups still shaken out nothing |
7692s | reported for vtb versus Valiant |
7694s | guardians but we're at 2 for Washington |
7697s | Timeless versus drainers and if we go |
7699s | back really quick to why drainers may |
7701s | have picked surasa there is a specific |
7703s | composition that I have seen a lot of |
7705s | teams busting out on surasa one team in |
7708s | particular that played a lot of it on |
7710s | surasa and well every map for that |
7712s | matter was the London Spitfire and I'm |
7714s | sure that gives away the game what I |
7716s | think drainers might be trying to cook |
7718s | here that's just my first impression |
7720s | that's just a guess that's just like you |
7721s | know while you were over there're |
7723s | talking about you know why cvasa versus |
7724s | new junk City I was like hang on what |
7727s | have I seen a lot of on svasa that I |
7729s | haven't seen a lot of on new junk |
7731s | City yeah I mean it can work absolutely |
7734s | um I think the big thing I get is like |
7736s | you really need the symmetra and I know |
7737s | I've said this like so many times but |
7739s | you really need the symmetra because |
7741s | that teleporter is what enables theion |
7742s | to do so many things |
7744s | so I I don't know if I want to see that |
7747s | because the only time we've seen them |
7748s | really pull out the cetra wi with the |
7749s | junker Queen on Midtown and I thought |
7751s | that was doing really well they had that |
7753s | amazing first point capture in Part B of |
7755s | wika and again their Boop but also |
7758s | because they got that really nice |
7759s | positioning early on by taking an early |
7760s | teleporter that caught Washington |
7762s | Timeless off guard so here if they see |
7765s | the symmetra again I feel like washingt |
7768s | seem to be a little bit more prepared |
7769s | for it but if they run it with the Ry |
7770s | you're a bit more stationary unless that |
7772s | smra teleports you the juner queen I |
7774s | think adds another kind of variety it |
7776s | adds like another layer to the spice |
7778s | where you can kind of engage without the |
7779s | teleporter you could use the teleporter |
7781s | as a decoy just throw in some turrets |
7783s | and then use the shout instead to just |
7785s | run straight into them without it so |
7787s | there there's a lot of potential things |
7789s | here um we'll |
7795s | see it makes a lot of sense like Ryan |
7798s | has been very strong here overall yeah |
7800s | Ryan is there is the potential for the |
7802s | Ry we'll see if I'm right about that |
7804s | there's also the potential for the |
7805s | junker queen or even you know trying to |
7807s | mirror the sigma cuz we know what |
7808s | Washington Timeless is going to want to |
7809s | play and it's going to want to be that |
7811s | Sigma composition but if you're drainers |
7813s | Which Way Western marginalized gender |
7815s | person what is your choice how what road |
7817s | are you choosing to go down here there |
7819s | are so many different options for them |
7821s | on Sasa and potentially you know maybe |
7824s | even swap in between them for the |
7826s | various points I'm personally kind of |
7829s | expecting the the Reinhardt I think |
7830s | that's where we're going to we're going |
7832s | to try and lean into a little bit more I |
7834s | would like to also see the junker Queen |
7836s | but the sigir it's all possible it's |
7838s | really anyone's guess what we're |
7840s | actually going to see here but what we |
7841s | need to see the one thing that we |
7843s | absolutely need to see is a w in the |
7846s | drainers column a final blemish on |
7849s | Washington Timeless record if that is |
7851s | even possible if this Washington |
7853s | Timeless is capable of bleeding drainers |
7856s | have to make it happen right now and |
7857s | then take and take and take until they |
7859s | start the reverse sweep it starts here |
7862s | on surasa will they be able to do it and |
7865s | one I said this earlier on that it had |
7870s | to be I I wanted it a little bit earlier |
7871s | too let's just point that I wanted them |
7873s | to win a little bit earlier so that they |
7874s | wouldn't be in this Do or Die scenario |
7876s | but it really is one map at a time if |
7878s | you can make this mortal team bleed if |
7880s | you can make them have a bit of a |
7882s | struggle if you can make them question |
7883s | what they're doing then you can start |
7886s | rolling the ball down the hill from |
7887s | there it's been all uphill for |
7889s | Washington Timeless so far in this |
7890s | tournament again Washington flaws is |
7892s | what we nickname them because they have |
7893s | yet to drop a map at all through the |
7895s | Swiss stage or through playoffs just yet |
7897s | but this could be where that all turns |
7899s | around drainers it's not necessarily the |
7901s | end of their tournament run because |
7903s | again this is upper bracket they still |
7904s | have another Lifeline waiting for them |
7906s | but you don't want just yet that thing |
7909s | meant to be what is |
7910s | that you know I don't know it kind of |
7914s | reminds me I think of what we see on |
7915s | colosio with like their Sky tram system |
7918s | but I I don't know I I'm show me a train |
7922s | flying through that thing right now I |
7923s | need to know what this thing's purposes |
7925s | it baffles and intrigues me I think I |
7928s | need to we need to we need the lore |
7930s | lesson on exactly what that is a little |
7932s | I need to dig into the sasore right now |
7933s | but right now we're firmly focused on |
7935s | Washington Timeless versus drainer and |
7937s | drainers and the lore |
7939s | there and I was right I just want to say |
7941s | it I called it it is that symmetra R |
7944s | composition that drainers are coming out |
7946s | here with that is the path that they |
7948s | have chosen it's particularly effective |
7949s | on the first point here especially |
7952s | because you can control this choke point |
7953s | but once again Kindred has to be careful |
7955s | once her Shield Falls courtesy of the |
7957s | damage from snaza she might be in a bit |
7960s | of danger but until then she can just |
7962s | control this angle there's a nice wall |
7964s | coming out from bun there but the |
7965s | aggression coming out from Washington |
7966s | time is they catch it best out on the |
7968s | rot there I'm not sure what they were |
7969s | doing over there but I mean they're not |
7971s | doing a whole lot anymore waston |
7973s | Timeless are now going to seize their |
7974s | opportunity to go in they find KJ they |
7976s | find Kindred they find the point I think |
7979s | that was just a misunderstanding of how |
7980s | you're supposed to play this once you |
7982s | get the objective you want to hold back |
7983s | on it with the r you don't want to play |
7985s | too aggressive you want to capture that |
7986s | point because they had the positioning |
7987s | for that they could have been taking up |
7989s | progress even if they lost the fight but |
7991s | instead they play a little bit too |
7992s | aggressively I saw the teleporter was |
7993s | used really early on and then it was |
7994s | destroyed so there's really no way for |
7996s | Kindra to get out the way that they |
7997s | wanted to |
7998s | and now you can see Wasington Timeless |
8000s | they going to take advantage of the fact |
8002s | that they won that first fight they won |
8003s | that first capture on the objective and |
8005s | they're playing very aggressively it's |
8006s | going to force rers to go all the way |
8008s | around and try to set up again but I |
8010s | want to see them yeah this this is the |
8011s | time to play aggressive but I want them |
8012s | to kind of understand what they're |
8013s | trying to do at any given timean going |
8015s | to be met by the shield and now St is |
8017s | just going to be raining in bullets yeah |
8019s | there's an early immortality field |
8020s | forced Stout but KJ is not going to be |
8022s | the beneficiary of it her mortality is |
8024s | uh definitely not in any question right |
8026s | now sniper takes her down and Washington |
8029s | Timeless are going to hold strong here |
8031s | there's a nice creation of finish off |
8032s | aest and you can't even really see it on |
8034s | the screen right now but there was a |
8035s | couple members of Washington Timeless |
8036s | that were posted up on The High Ground |
8038s | and nobody from draer save for maybe Zep |
8040s | turn had the ability to even get up |
8042s | there to challenge them so zman is safe |
8044s | as houses up here and they also were |
8047s | able to avoid the amplication mates that |
8048s | came out from Zep turn because of that |
8050s | positioning so just very good |
8052s | understanding early on from Washington |
8053s | Tas of how to hold on to this objective |
8055s | they've already captured right now |
8057s | moving on to the next one and they have |
8059s | all of the ultimates in the world to |
8061s | work with it's been an incred showing so |
8064s | far and you don't get nearly as many |
8065s | opportunities on flash point like you |
8067s | would on control like you lose two or |
8068s | three fights and it's just done that |
8070s | point is not going to be able to be |
8072s | fought over anymore and once again this |
8074s | is Washington Timeless controlling the |
8075s | space controlling the tempo drainers |
8077s | want to get in their face but they're |
8079s | not going to let them they have control |
8080s | over the point there's a nice ice wall |
8082s | that's going to come out from inas and |
8083s | kindered with a huge shatter doesn't |
8085s | even let zman hit the ground before she |
8088s | swings that just like taking him out |
8090s | like a like a batter in baseball I'm so |
8093s | I'm dumbfounded by that one but I mean |
8096s | despite that drainers they're able to |
8098s | capture the Point Washington Timeless |
8100s | have not been fully evicted yet they're |
8102s | going to invest the artillery strike it |
8103s | doesn't find much of anything KJ finds |
8105s | Haley and that should firmly be |
8108s | Washington and Timeless taking their |
8109s | claim and there's a nice little |
8111s | insurance policy wall from bun to stifle |
8113s | the aggression a little bit almost a |
8115s | trade back but not able to come through |
8117s | for Wasing time they're going to have to |
8118s | wait quite a bit now Haley's back into |
8120s | the freay they still have some ultimates |
8122s | to work with but they use both DPS |
8123s | ultimates there for nothing so they're |
8125s | going to be forced to use this gratic |
8127s | flux early on there's still IM morality |
8128s | field from Z that can be thrown in maybe |
8130s | even ant Matrix to do a lot of healing |
8132s | Wasing the Timeless really are on the |
8134s | back for despite having a huge Advantage |
8135s | coming into what should have been |
8136s | another capture for them instead not |
8138s | able to get it done they're going to |
8140s | have to invest and they're also going to |
8141s | have to invest a little bit of time and |
8143s | make a little rotation there courtesy of |
8144s | that Matrix Kindred with two through the |
8146s | M Matrix that is absolutely massive and |
8148s | now this gratic flux from sniper is all |
8150s | for not wi with a nice little Boop there |
8152s | on zler to finish them off and now |
8155s | sniper at risk of getting staggered here |
8156s | but ad drainer is actually not going to |
8159s | uncharacteristically not going to take |
8160s | the aggression and let sniper live I |
8163s | think they're just worried about getting |
8164s | sagger potentially going into the next |
8165s | flash point which should unlock but |
8167s | actually they do get sniper at the very |
8168s | end so that's a huge sagger now they can |
8170s | rotate to the point I mean I I will say |
8173s | I believe sniper will be alive by the |
8175s | time this next Point unlocks it's still |
8176s | got 30 seconds but that's all charge |
8178s | that is time that Wasing thas has to |
8180s | kind of regroup once more and yeah |
8183s | you're going to see that drainer |
8185s | actually in a solid spot here possibly |
8187s | one of the better spots they've been in |
8188s | all series yeah they're going to try and |
8190s | cut Washington Timeless off at the pass |
8191s | as both teams try and race onto the |
8193s | point there there's the wall and the Ant |
8195s | Matrix coming out the window and the |
8196s | wall but this the blizzard comes out |
8199s | from Evas and finds two Kindred does |
8201s | fall so their ability to control space |
8204s | severely hindered here and Wick going to |
8206s | fall as well watch that timeless I mean |
8208s | despite losing too early there are going |
8210s | to come out of this fight ahead and |
8212s | should be able to make their way over to |
8214s | the point and start checking up that |
8215s | first cap there but they're still |
8217s | investing in trying to get KJ off the |
8219s | field yeah they are chasing right now |
8221s | trying to get KJ they do that's one hred |
8224s | was right there wasn't able to get the |
8225s | shield up in time so that's going to be |
8227s | a free capture and drainers they tried |
8230s | to go for this strategy if we're going |
8232s | to meet them before the point we're |
8233s | going to force that fight we're going to |
8235s | force that ultimates well you got your |
8236s | wish it didn't go the way wanted and now |
8239s | this third point of Sasa getting ticked |
8241s | up for Washington Timeless and they |
8243s | still have buns ultimate the blizzard |
8245s | ready to go they almost have the |
8247s | artillery strike it it just seems like |
8249s | the momentum especially in this map has |
8250s | continued to flip back and forth and |
8253s | something crucial in that previous fight |
8254s | by the way was that iest used their |
8256s | blizzard and didn't end up winning the |
8258s | fight for it so now Haley is going to |
8259s | have a free sound barrier when she |
8261s | builds up to it another shatter from on |
8263s | high from Kindred finds nothing the wall |
8265s | this time from iest all the Maz are just |
8267s | out to get kindred right now but KJ |
8269s | taking down Haley before she can build |
8271s | for that sound barrier that is |
8272s | everything right now W with the sound |
8274s | barrier of her own and with the over |
8275s | health benefit the benefit of the over |
8277s | Health drainers are able to secure the |
8280s | point 69% for Washington Timeless nice |
8283s | but drainers find the flip so that was a |
8285s | charge from Chloe's wall onto vesta's |
8289s | wall to shatter nothing I'm not exactly |
8291s | sure what happened there but it doesn't |
8293s | even matter it doesn't even matter it's |
8294s | all distraction because they still win |
8296s | the fight wi with the clutch down |
8298s | barrier to counter what Chloe's blizzard |
8300s | was trying to do they win the fight off |
8302s | of just a lot of shots also from aesta |
8304s | were hitting the Target and now they |
8305s | have control once more but Washington |
8307s | Timeless they have their own s barrier |
8309s | they've got a gravitic flux the AL |
8310s | Advantage is in their favor and they're |
8311s | going to use it yeah it looks like kred |
8313s | is going to be Public Enemy Number One |
8315s | but the accre doesn't find any value in |
8317s | the gravitic flux there isn't enough |
8318s | follow up as Kinder got slammed onto The |
8320s | High Ground and they've lost Chloe |
8322s | there's a nice charge there on Kindred |
8324s | or sorry onto sniper but she was too low |
8326s | and Kindred is going to fall Wasington |
8328s | Timeless with the sound barrier coming |
8329s | out from Haley are going to find the |
8331s | flip 75% for drainers there might be a |
8336s | touch here but it's going to be a risky |
8338s | one and zman can cut it off entirely |
8340s | yeah this is going to be a big decision |
8341s | do they try to go for this touch at the |
8343s | last second or do they give up the point |
8344s | they're trying to go for it you can see |
8346s | that Washington Tas they're in position |
8347s | to try to stop them from even getting |
8349s | there the wall is going to be there I |
8350s | think they got to give this up they're |
8352s | trying to go around and they will get |
8354s | the touch just in time there's that ant |
8356s | Matrix though and Kindred is going to |
8358s | melt though AES invest the blizzard but |
8360s | who is there to follow up on it |
8362s | certainly not them and definitely not |
8364s | Kindred and Washton Timeless are going |
8366s | to secure the point as the last members |
8368s | of drainers make an Irish exit out the |
8370s | back without telling anybody and now |
8372s | it's two to one in favor of watch and |
8374s | Timeless drainers they have to try and |
8376s | play for this next Point they've got to |
8377s | be Flawless from here on out or they're |
8379s | going to the lower bracket and no |
8381s | blizzard now that last second contest |
8383s | cost them so much not only the objective |
8386s | not only the point going the way |
8387s | Washington time with now has them on map |
8389s | and series point but that big AOE |
8390s | ultimate that could have Frozen everyone |
8392s | up that could have stopped Wasing |
8393s | Timeless in their tracks is no longer |
8395s | available they do have some abilities to |
8397s | work with some ultimates to work with |
8399s | but I feel like the May blizzard would |
8400s | have been the big one and they have to |
8402s | force out the immortality field to stay |
8404s | alive through that artillery strike KJ |
8407s | going to go ahead and Pop That overclock |
8408s | and without the an Matrix to stifle any |
8411s | sort of aggression and without the May |
8412s | wall to cut off any of the angles |
8415s | Washington Timeless just have to back up |
8416s | but the grenade from SN hler cleans her |
8419s | up and suddenly you don't got to play |
8420s | those angles anymore you can take them |
8422s | watch them Timeless with the speed boost |
8424s | are going to go super super aggressive |
8425s | here the damage coming out Kindred can't |
8427s | safely have her Shield up but the PIN on |
8429s | the Chloe is saved by the immortality |
8431s | field the shatter the immortality field |
8433s | is down the shatter is good but is the |
8435s | damage there yes it is sniper will fall |
8437s | but if s slips off the point I'm not |
8439s | sure what happened there Chloe going to |
8440s | clap back with the blizzard and |
8442s | Washington timers are coming out ahead |
8445s | they do come out ahead at the very end |
8447s | of it but the good news for trainers and |
8449s | what is now become a very dire situation |
8452s | is that they got the first capture they |
8453s | got 52% they force out a lot of |
8455s | ultimates from Washington Timeless but |
8457s | they also had to use a lot of their own |
8460s | uh they're going to have to take a dry |
8461s | fight here they have to build up |
8462s | ultimates if they can I mean if they can |
8463s | win this one out that's huge if they can |
8465s | win this fight they're in a great |
8466s | position to at least win this point but |
8467s | they only really have room to lose one |
8469s | fight here before it is really done in |
8471s | dusted that's a great wall from aest |
8473s | it's actually going to force out the |
8474s | gravitic plux from sniper just so they |
8475s | can live the immortality field is Good |
8477s | from Z turn but the the damage is coming |
8480s | through and Kindred can't sustain |
8482s | through it there's just not enough wi |
8484s | trying to go for a miracle play onto |
8486s | zman sosler is Fallen but Haley is going |
8488s | to punish wi's aggression boops are |
8490s | right off the map and suddenly it's |
8492s | looking real real dicey for drainers |
8494s | invest invest the blizzard they sniper |
8497s | wait there might actually be something |
8499s | here Haley takes down KJ though it still |
8501s | looks like it's in favor of Washington |
8503s | Timeless Haley with the sound barrier |
8505s | and suddenly there doesn't seem to be a |
8507s | whole lot going in the way of drainers |
8509s | but Kindred is back swinging the hammer |
8511s | the artillery strike comes out and it's |
8513s | just blocked Kindred puts the umbrella |
8515s | up and shelters everybody from the rain |
8517s | drainers find the flip sniper is back on |
8520s | the doomfist and somehow drainers are |
8523s | still in control Chloe Chloe gets the |
8526s | kill and was at one Health they get the |
8528s | ice block to get healed back up sniper |
8530s | on the doomfist this is crazy CP and |
8533s | they're going to get Kindred oh no |
8535s | Kindred Falls there's the wall from |
8536s | Chloe she's got the blizzard if she |
8538s | needs it drainers they have to try and |
8540s | play into this somehow but they don't |
8541s | have a tank they only have a sound |
8543s | barrier and it only catches Wicket in |
8544s | dep turn there's the blizzard onto the |
8546s | point Zep turn finds snaz Washington |
8548s | Timeless are wounded but they are not |
8551s | broken as they're going to face face |
8553s | downest with another wall and an icicle |
8555s | to the Dome wi is forced to evict the |
8558s | point she's going to go back in for |
8559s | another touch but Haley boops her away |
8561s | and despite the scrappiest fight of all |
8564s | time Washington remain Flawless drain |
8567s | ERS get |
8569s | drained 3 for Washington Timeless and |
8572s | drainers are going to the lower bracket |
8574s | what a final point there trainers made |
8577s | them work for it though that was again |
8579s | like there was really only one time |
8580s | where it felt like they really got |
8581s | outclass and that was going to be that |
8584s | last submap of antartic peninsula on |
8586s | Labs every other submap map whatever you |
8589s | want to call it every other fight |
8591s | engagement it was Scrappy it was all |
8594s | over the place but was it fun to watch |
8596s | yes it was it went down to the very last |
8599s | moment I still can't believe that bun |
8601s | was able to survive throughout all of |
8602s | that and then get the blizzard some |
8604s | heroic plays from members of both sides |
8608s | but the biggest thing at the end of the |
8609s | day is that Washington Timeless they can |
8610s | take some hits they might get hurt a |
8613s | little bit but they still do not bleed a |
8616s | three a continuation of this flawless |
8619s | run from the team that has to be |
8620s | considered the favorites of the Toronto |
8622s | to F rise together minor three for |
8624s | calling all heroes with how they've |
8625s | played if drainers can't even take a map |
8628s | off of Washington Timeless at this point |
8630s | who can because there are only so many |
8633s | other options that we've seen we've seen |
8635s | Valiant Guardians step up and get |
8637s | stepped on we've now seen drainers step |
8639s | up and get stepped on who is left who |
8642s | can topple these tyrants I still have |
8645s | faith that drainers have the potential |
8646s | to but it just feels like Washington |
8649s | Timeless are too calm Under Pressure |
8652s | drainers are great at applying pressure |
8654s | but I mean Washington Timeless every |
8656s | time it seemed like drainers had the |
8657s | Advantage every time it seemed like they |
8659s | were on the precipice of a miracle |
8661s | Washington Timeless found a way to Snuff |
8663s | it out through their own old usage I got |
8665s | to shout out Haley again for her sound |
8668s | barriers her clutch factor and z and |
8670s | zman with these immortality Fields like |
8672s | that one you saw right there saving |
8674s | Khloe's life and Chloe with the ice |
8677s | walls it's it's been the story of just |
8679s | about every Washington Timeless map is |
8681s | that her ice walls have been everything |
8682s | the deciding factor in so so many fights |
8686s | that frankly Washington and Timeless |
8688s | have no business winning but with one |
8690s | simple cool down one simple isolation |
8693s | pun intended isolation you get it |
8696s | they're able to overcome and that's |
8698s | taking nothing away of course from |
8700s | sosler who has been phenomenal on the |
8701s | Bastion when you can't get the angle on |
8704s | them they've got one on you they've got |
8706s | the damage they've got everything they |
8709s | need to push forward in this upper |
8712s | bracket it seems all but destined that |
8714s | Washton Timeless are going to be in |
8715s | Grand finals at this point yeah I mean |
8718s | they're at least in Winner's finals so |
8719s | they're only one step away from that |
8721s | grand finals and I want to go back to |
8722s | those sosler stats for a second I think |
8724s | they really show that the damage put out |
8726s | by the Bastion is just so difficult to |
8728s | compete with we saw so many times where |
8731s | drainers it looks like they had the edge |
8732s | it looks like they had the advantage |
8734s | they played aggressively I'm thinking |
8735s | about the fight after point two that |
8737s | they won and that fight on third point |
8739s | where they went in with the numbers |
8741s | advantage and this got either out aled |
8743s | out rotated or just snower comes in and |
8746s | just Rains Down bullet from above causes |
8748s | so much damage that they can't be |
8750s | overhealed and Kindred unfortunately |
8751s | just a bit too far forward they cannot |
8753s | be healed up she cannot be saved in |
8755s | those instances and those big overc |
8757s | commitments where it feels like they |
8758s | should win it and they don't were big |
8760s | game changers it just led to drainers |
8763s | ending losing those fights and then |
8765s | losing the series |
8766s | overall and you know we talked about all |
8768s | the compositions that drers excel at and |
8771s | you know they're very flexible but also |
8773s | a little bit one note in that everything |
8775s | they want to do is run at you be |
8777s | aggressive get in your face brawl have |
8780s | Kindred either hits you with the big |
8781s | shotguns and the ax swings or with the |
8783s | big hammer swings on the big German |
8785s | Hammerman but no matter what Washington |
8788s | Timeless know how to control the tempo |
8790s | stay calm under pressure and not let |
8792s | that pressure break them they Bend but |
8794s | they do not break they have yet to break |
8798s | they've yet to even crack under any |
8800s | amount of pressure they have still not |
8801s | given up a map they are still the |
8803s | Washington Flawless and they may have an |
8805s | entire golden tournament if no one else |
8807s | is left to step up on them but let's |
8810s | have a look at the bracket and see who's |
8812s | left Valiant Guardians took a three over |
8815s | Vancouver Titans blue we saw this in |
8818s | Swiss we might be uh we might be seeing |
8820s | it again but it could be another rematch |
8823s | but it's not really a rematch it could |
8825s | be a change of pace because again vant |
8827s | Guardians as I mentioned at the |
8828s | beginning of the show did not have their |
8830s | starting lineup for support last week |
8832s | they struggled a lot on that first day |
8834s | of Swiss they were able to clutch out on |
8835s | the second day this is a whole new |
8837s | Valiant Guardians this is the Valiant |
8838s | Guardians that we expected to compete |
8841s | with Washington Timeless these are the |
8842s | two top teams that were in the last |
8844s | minor that were in the grand finals and |
8846s | the upper bracket finals last time |
8847s | around so it seems like one way or |
8849s | another we are destined for them to play |
8851s | each other once more yeah and there's |
8853s | still a lot that has yet to shake out |
8855s | Fable and bearclaw gaming are still |
8857s | going at it GRE nightmare still clinging |
8859s | on for dear life we'll see who ends up |
8862s | advancing in the lower bracket and who |
8863s | ends up going home but uh I I mean we |
8868s | got to talk a little bit about that |
8869s | match up that we might be seeing going |
8870s | forward that washon Timeless versus |
8872s | Valiant Guardians cuz again we saw that |
8874s | one before and it was close about as |
8876s | close as this one feels I say like I'm |
8879s | saying that drainers and Valiant |
8880s | Guardians and Washington Timeless that's |
8882s | like the Triad that's your top three of |
8884s | favorites but Washton Timeless has |
8886s | firmly put themselves a tier above both |
8887s | of them has Valiant Guardians changed |
8890s | their tune is that is that something |
8892s | that we're going to get to see have they |
8893s | corrected their course and as far as the |
8896s | lower bracket goes I still want to |
8897s | follow that Fable story line as well |
8899s | there's so many moving parts of this |
8900s | tournament I love this bracket so much |
8902s | I'm I I had to nerd out about that for a |
8904s | second cuz there's so many narratives |
8906s | there are and it's great as a Caster but |
8908s | it's also great as a viewer to see all |
8909s | these different story lines kind of |
8910s | converge into this one amazing story |
8912s | that is calling all heroes I think one |
8915s | thing we got to mention is the last team |
8917s | to beat uh Washington Timeless in |
8919s | calling all heroes play was bant |
8920s | Guardians in that upper bracket for the |
8922s | Washington Justice minor a while ago |
8925s | they knocked Washington Timeless to the |
8926s | lower rack up and then Washington |
8928s | Timeless was able to get revenge win |
8930s | their own event that's put on by their |
8933s | parent organization in a three2 showdown |
8935s | like all five Maps so I mean these two |
8938s | teams when they go at it it it feels |
8940s | like it's always going to be a barn |
8941s | burner again they did play already in |
8943s | Swiss but I don't think that was the |
8944s | full story that wasn't the full |
8945s | experience we're going to get here in |
8947s | the upper bracket finals there is |
8950s | definitely plenty more of that story to |
8952s | write and hey we've got the author of |
8954s | that story or you know if you're if you |
8956s | want to be a little more literal about |
8957s | it we've got the manager of Washington |
8959s | Timeless who's going to be showing up |
8961s | for an interview we got debit who will |
8962s | be here to join us after a quick break |
8964s | don't go anywhere we'll be right back |
8966s | with that and more action on the other |

9140s | welcome back everybody if you're just |
9142s | joining us the Washington Timeless |
9145s | sometimes known in some circles as the |
9146s | Washington Flawless have dispatched |
9148s | drainers quite swiftly with another 3 0 |
9151s | still not dropping a map and we've got |
9153s | debit their manager here for an |
9154s | interview debbit how are you doing hi |
9157s | I'm |
9159s | great all right very blunt very to the |
9162s | point I love it okay I got two questions |
9164s | to kick it off they're both easy ones |
9165s | first how does it feel to be here for |
9167s | another calling all heroes tournament |
9168s | and secondly who can stop you uh it |
9172s | feels amazing coming back for another |
9173s | calling all heroes tournament love love |
9175s | this um tournament and event um ran by |
9179s | blizzard and pizza |
9180s | penguin |
9183s | uh I no |
9185s | one no no one no one can stop you no one |
9191s | I love I love the confidence I got to |
9192s | say yeah I mean no one has stopped you |
9194s | so far so why would you feel any |
9196s | different about anything upcoming I got |
9198s | to ask though you have a rematch coming |
9200s | up in just a few moments with the |
9202s | Valiant Guardians you've played them a |
9204s | bunch recently the Washington Justice |
9205s | minor you've even played them here in |
9207s | the Swiss stage however that Swiss stage |
9208s | matchup a little bit different a lineup |
9210s | than you know what I think they would |
9211s | like to put as their starting lineup do |
9213s | you think that will at all affect |
9215s | today's results do you think this match |
9217s | up this rematch will go a bit |
9218s | differently or do you think it'll be the |
9219s | same as how it was before H um well I hm |
9226s | I think it will be the same result it |
9229s | might be tougher on us as uh I'm pretty |
9234s | sure they have armori coming back which |
9238s | could make have some changes but I think |
9240s | it will still be same result |
9243s | 3 I mean at this point like a three |
9246s | feels like it's all but destined I do |
9248s | also kind of want to ask you a couple |
9249s | things you are listed as the manager for |
9251s | a couple of other teams as well so how |
9252s | does it feel like having to juggle all |
9254s | of that and like work for all of these |
9256s | teams and try and uh you know bring |
9258s | forth the best talent that we have to |
9259s | offer on not only potentially the |
9261s | favorites but some of the other Underdog |
9263s | teams that we've looked at throughout |
9264s | the |
9265s | series I mean um it's it's it's hard |
9272s | work but it's fun I really enjoy what |
9274s | I'm able to do and I also enjoy like |
9278s | having like giving play like um players |
9282s | more opport more more opportunities like |
9285s | uh bear claw gaming for example that |
9287s | team was just made spontaneously 3 hours |
9290s | before roster lock uh for my friends uh |
9294s | who really wanted to play so it really |
9296s | feels nice to also give those players an |
9299s | opportunity uh when they were like when |
9301s | they didn't have any team to play in |
9303s | this C season with I mean you crafted |
9305s | another playoff team with only three |
9307s | hours that's kind of impressive like as |
9308s | a manager you kind of have to take that |
9310s | as a dub but I mean thank you so much |
9312s | for joining us and giving us a little |
9314s | bit of insight and I like the confidence |
9315s | that no one can stop you that's going to |
9317s | stick with me going forward and as we |
9319s | follow you through the playoff bracket |
9321s | I'm sure that is going to be the story |
9323s | but that's going to be it for the |
9324s | interview de do you have anything else |
9326s | that you want to say or any shout outs |

9764s | rounds Valiant guard Guardians got blown |
9767s | over will there be any blowback for |
9768s | Washington Timeless or will they still |
9770s | be the Washington Flawless yeah I mean I |
9773s | think we're expecting them to be able to |
9775s | come up with this Victory on the set of |
9777s | Washington Timeless nothing has said or |
9779s | shown that they can be stopped just yet |
9781s | Val Guardians like you said they did |
9782s | play them before I will say just like |
9784s | Vancouver Titans blue it will be a bit |
9786s | of a different roster for Valiant |
9788s | Guardians it should have a bit of a |
9789s | different support lineup aramori as we |
9791s | had mentioned before even deit mentioned |
9793s | should be back in the lineup they |
9794s | weren't available last week to play for |
9796s | Valiant Guardians now she will be back |
9797s | in the mix here today we do know they |
9799s | also have another support on the lineup |
9801s | Aspen don't know if you've heard of her |
9803s | not sure if she'll be sparting today but |
9805s | I know that her and aramore have played |
9806s | a bit together so there could be a |
9808s | completely different look in that |
9810s | backline for them and most importantly |
9813s | like they have to show up better than |
9814s | they did in that last series regardless |
9817s | of who's playing it was a 02 loss that |
9820s | they suffered they need to have a better |
9822s | showing here and I want to see a team |
9823s | take a map off of Washington timeless so |
9826s | far throughout this entire tournament |
9827s | they have not lost anything not a single |
9830s | map which is so impressive I'm I'm I I |
9832s | like that you bring up that armori is |
9834s | going to be back and I also like that if |
9836s | we go back to our interview that we just |
9837s | had with debbit by the way who is |
9838s | phenomenal thank you so much for for |
9840s | coming on but debbit said that the |
9843s | aramori being back is something that |
9844s | Washington Timeless is at least a little |
9846s | bit worried about which could mean one |
9848s | of two things either there is legitimate |
9850s | concern and we might see Valiant |
9851s | Guardians finally finally draw blood on |
9854s | waston Timeless something nobody else |
9856s | has been able to do or Wason Timeless |
9858s | thought ahead of time and they came |
9860s | prepared one of those two surely must be |
9863s | true and we're going to find out which |
9865s | one as we move forward but let's have a |
9867s | quick little look at the rosters here so |
9870s | we can see what it all means I mean we |
9871s | know what these rosters are we know what |
9874s | they are like we know Washington |
9875s | Timeless is roster we just saw them in |
9877s | action and we know what this group of |
9879s | players is capable of I'm really glad |
9882s | that we're just doing you know no limits |
9884s | no Rock I'm I'm really glad going to see |
9885s | two mercies come out here today for the |
9887s | set of Washington Timeless but sniper |
9889s | and sosler might not be reing who |
9890s | they're actually going to play but both |
9892s | have been absolutely outstanding I I |
9894s | think honestly in general this |
9897s | Washington Timeless roster has just had |
9898s | so many starts attive plays snaza looked |
9900s | amazing on the Bastion in particular in |
9902s | that last series Halo had some great |
9904s | plays as well just throwing herself in |
9906s | there making sure that she was |
9907s | protecting her team and then booping |
9909s | those away from those who might be doing |
9911s | some damage it looks like we're going to |
9913s | see Z again come into the lineup making |
9915s | that quick swap there um which they I |
9918s | mean we saw Z last time they were doing |
9919s | very good things on the bapti I think |
9921s | the biggest thing that we're going to |
9922s | see here today that's going to be really |
9924s | interesting is that Halo she is going up |
9926s | against her previous team she was with |
9928s | Valiant Guardians last time around ended |
9930s | up losing now she's on the winning side |
9932s | and I mean again Flawless what what more |
9934s | can you say about that have not dropped |
9936s | a map at all and it is going wonderful |
9938s | for that entire team I I I think it's |
9940s | pretty ironic that we've got two mercies |
9941s | on the graphic here for a team that do |
9943s | that has no mercy Mercy I I want it on |
9947s | record by the way I'm the first person |
9948s | in the world to ever make that joke |
9949s | about Mercy like I I want full credit |
9951s | for that but I mean yeah we talked about |
9954s | it as well like you were saying Halo |
9955s | going up against her previous team |
9956s | Valiant Guardians and how well she knows |
9959s | them and that manifested several times |
9961s | throughout that game especially on Le |
9963s | Jang Tower when these two last played |
9964s | but Valiant Guardians you know as well |
9967s | as Halo knows them it might be a |
9969s | slightly different Valiant Guardians |
9970s | because hey like you called out look who |
9972s | that is in the backline it's aramori |
9974s | making her return |
9976s | yeah it's not going to be Aspen Kopi |
9978s | going to stay in on that mean support |
9980s | role but I always going to give shout |
9982s | outs to moving fish again one of my |
9984s | favorite players in collegate they are |
9986s | one of the best tanks you can find and I |
9989s | think especially for Sigma meta |
9990s | definitely in the right place at the |
9992s | right time has done amazing things with |
9994s | red birds and will continue to do |
9995s | amazing things here on the Valiant |
9997s | Guardians and then whis again this DPS |
10000s | hit scan phenomenon I think one of the |
10002s | biggest match ups is going to be whis |
10004s | versus sosler today I mean absolutely I |
10007s | mean wisps and sosler depending on who |
10010s | ends up being the Bastion player if they |
10012s | do try to play Bastion because we've |
10013s | seen some like other looks from Valiant |
10016s | Guardians coming out especially on |
10017s | control like we saw like the pharmercy |
10019s | with like the doomfist coming out from |
10021s | this roster before so that's going to be |
10023s | something that might be very interesting |
10025s | but you know like you said wisps and |
10027s | sosler who is going to be getting the |
10028s | better of that exchange sosler has |
10030s | looked phenomenal on the Bastion |
10031s | especially today they seem pretty like a |
10035s | pretty surmountable task for any DPS |
10037s | player to go blow for blow with but |
10039s | we'll see if Valiant Guardians have what |
10042s | it takes I am interested in the sniper |
10044s | versus moving fish back and forth |
10046s | because again all of the tanks and |
10048s | calling all heroes are so sick I can't I |
10050s | I can't stress that enough somehow we |
10052s | just have some of the most phenomenal |
10054s | tank players that that the scene has to |
10056s | offer all on display right here and |
10059s | going back and forth has been it's been |
10061s | phenomenal we've seen what sniper is |
10063s | capable of we've seen last weekend what |
10065s | moving fish is capable of but can they |
10067s | one up that step up and surpass sniper |
10071s | in this exchange we will have to see |
10073s | control is going to be where we kick |
10075s | things off and I don't know if we have |
10077s | the map Choice yet for them but I mean |
10082s | let's like just going on past history |
10084s | leang Tower right that was pretty close |
10087s | when these two teams went at it yeah I |
10090s | think you're probably going to go for |
10091s | Antarctic Peninsula again if you're |
10092s | watching the time was seeing how well |
10094s | your comp will work the last time around |
10096s | there it is all right I I actually |
10097s | didn't know I swear I I didn't I didn't |
10099s | read any of Productions notes I was just |
10101s | guessing but it just worked right like |
10102s | you want to go of the hot hand and this |
10104s | is the best map that's going to work in |
10106s | your favor it was you know there's one |
10108s | map that was a little bit close |
10110s | Icebreaker a little bit back and forth |
10111s | in that last series against trainers but |
10113s | labs labs was just dominant showing from |
10116s | beginning to end 100 to zero and you |
10118s | just want to go back to that why would |
10119s | you go away from it when it works so |
10120s | well the first time and I think this is |
10122s | a good pick because we talked like I I I |
10124s | brought up the you know the doomfist |
10126s | pharmacy composition that we did see |
10127s | from Valiant Guardians on leang Tower |
10130s | last time around don't give them that |
10132s | like don't give them that Advantage |
10134s | don't let them play that go instead with |
10136s | something where it's like no you are |
10137s | going to play something grounded where |
10139s | we have the full advantage where we are |
10141s | just better on this Sigma mirror and you |
10142s | can try and counterpick us with a Ry or |
10144s | with a junker Queen but we just showed |
10146s | you that that doesn't work for the best |
10148s | junker Queen in calling all Hero so why |
10149s | would it work for you we'll have to find |
10151s | out I really wanted to see that Pharmacy |
10154s | more in that last match too it seems |
10155s | like on Le Jong tower that was like the |
10157s | one Edge they had was that it was a big |
10158s | surprise to see that come out into this |
10160s | sort of meta where it's very Sigma based |
10162s | I mean we still see some widows some ash |
10164s | here and there but it seems like there |
10165s | really wasn't anything that Washington |
10167s | ESS had prepared to coun or something |
10168s | like that but then when they went to the |
10170s | other submaps in Le J Tower they went |
10171s | back to kind of this default meta Sigma |
10174s | and it it just didn't really work out |
10175s | the way they wanted it to here I feel |
10177s | like there's even less chances for |
10178s | something like that I think a pharmacy |
10179s | would be very rare on this map maybe you |
10182s | could run it here on Icebreaker cuz you |
10184s | know there's no ceiling you can fly up |
10185s | pretty high even though but like Labs is |
10187s | open like there's this there's no |
10189s | ceiling there's just a sky and I still |
10190s | think that is like really difficult |
10191s | because there's a lot of high ground you |
10193s | can play on you're not getting that on |
10194s | sub level though absolutely not I mean |
10197s | that ceiling is going to punish you so |
10198s | much so definitely not going to happen |
10199s | on Su level I don't expect it really at |
10201s | all even when I'm saying like it's |
10203s | better here I don't think it's really |
10204s | good in general they could try to throw |
10206s | out something sneaky again maybe another |
10208s | sort of cheese composition that is not |
10210s | expected on the side of Washington |
10212s | Timeless you need any Edge you can get |
10214s | like these surpris |
10216s | if you can win that first fight roll of |
10217s | it when we say it's possible to play |
10220s | Pharmacy on Icebreaker we we say that in |
10222s | the way that like slurping mayonnaise |
10224s | through a straw is possible it's |
10226s | possible but it's disgusting it's |
10229s | disgusting and also very hard to do if |
10230s | you've ever tried I'm not saying I have |
10232s | and I'm not going to admit to anything |
10234s | CIA can't waterboard that out of me but |
10237s | yeah no looking at the comps that we're |
10239s | seeing it's looking a lot more grounded |
10241s | like we were saying no flyers in the sky |
10243s | today I think the most interesting thing |
10245s | here is if HK decides to stay on this |
10248s | torbjorn I I do believe we did see this |
10250s | last time as well doesn't look like |
10251s | we're going to see it though going to go |
10253s | to the May so it's going to be the stock |
10255s | standard across the board no surprises |
10257s | in store for Valiant Guardians this time |
10259s | around but as we talked about Armory is |
10261s | going to be in this lineup on that |
10263s | Baptist doing a lot of healing and |
10265s | damage that could be the Difference |
10266s | Maker and that could be what sets vant |
10268s | Guardians apart this time around in |
10269s | their rematch from the Swiss stage |
10270s | against Washington Timeless looks like |
10272s | Valiant Guardians are going to take a |
10274s | more outside approach that does give |
10276s | Washington Timeless a little bit of |
10277s | control over the point meaning that Val |
10279s | Guardians have to go through them if |
10281s | they want to get to the point and sosler |
10283s | going to go ahead and put the turret for |
10284s | him down but cancels out of it so that |
10287s | might be actually a pretty solid go |
10289s | button for valali and Guardians they are |
10290s | actually going to take a little bit of |
10291s | positioning and force Washington |
10292s | Timeless to play split the walls from |
10294s | both Chloe and chado are swapp are |
10298s | sectioning off the enemy tanks there but |
10299s | it's sosler getting the better of whisps |
10301s | and sniper with the followup it's that |
10303s | Bastion head-to-head that you call out |
10305s | that ends up being the first blood in |
10306s | this fight and you know Wasington |
10308s | Timeless they've already capped the |
10309s | point and this fight is still going on |
10311s | as the members of valy and Guardians |
10312s | slowly bleed out and that's the thing |
10314s | for watching Timeless you already took |
10315s | the objective so this is just gravy on |
10317s | top of the point cap you're saying yeah |
10319s | give us more ultimates yeah stagger |
10321s | yourself out more Haley already has a |
10323s | sound barrier what is this that is one |
10325s | of the most expensive and most difficult |
10327s | ultimates to build up in the game this |
10329s | is why Haley used to be in OverWatch |
10331s | League this is insane and that could be |
10333s | a huge difference maker here someone |
10335s | Falls low on the side of Washington |
10336s | Timeless that could be a fight winning |
10339s | ultimate right off the bat full credit |
10341s | to car he's almost got one as well but |
10343s | almost means that there's a window for |
10345s | Washington Timeless to go in with this |
10346s | gravitic flux without worrying about the |
10347s | sound barrier but now it's online and |
10349s | Caro can clap back with it for free if |
10351s | he should so choose but it looks like |
10353s | Valley and Guardians are actually |
10354s | choosing caution they're going to play a |
10355s | little bit more slowly there's that |
10357s | sound barrier coming out from both sides |
10358s | as the matter of fact gravitic flux from |
10360s | moving fish and sniper is very low that |
10362s | should be the kill confirmed and Valiant |
10364s | Guardians despite fite losing H key are |
10366s | finally coming out ahead in the fight |
10368s | they're going to clean up zman and that |
10369s | should be it they've clean up all the |
10371s | members of Washington Timeless but |
10372s | they're actually a little slow to |
10374s | physically capture the point right now |
10376s | yeah this is still a point percentage |
10377s | going the way of Wasington time they're |
10378s | going to get 70 when all said and done |
10380s | Haley gets a trade so that's in a force |
10383s | I believe um probably to go back which |
10386s | means that Valiant Guardians isn't going |
10387s | to be at full strength when this fight |
10389s | starts off they do have the one Al |
10390s | Advantage everything else was used by |
10392s | Timeless in that lost fight but they |
10394s | have the numbers they could try to run |
10395s | into this quickly maybe take that fight |
10397s | early and whips like that one ultimate |
10400s | they have online falling very low so |
10401s | they've got to be very careful right now |
10403s | cuz they have the only ultimate on the |
10405s | board and that one ultimate is artillery |
10407s | strike not typically a fight winner it's |
10409s | usually used just to force out |
10410s | immortality field looks like that's |
10412s | what's going to happen here immortality |
10413s | field actually don't even know if it got |
10415s | that much so it just kind of bought a |
10417s | little bit of space for Valiant |
10418s | Guardians moving fish gets very very low |
10420s | there off the accretion St from sniper |
10422s | and H key forced to go into the ice |
10424s | block a little bit early I think she |
10425s | might be considering popping that |
10427s | blizzard but nobody is hanging around to |
10429s | fall victim to it so I mean Valiant |
10431s | guardan still holding on but their |
10433s | health bars get low and sniper going to |
10435s | make them all the lower with that |
10437s | gravitic flux slamming moving fish down |
10439s | hkey does pop the blizzard and this is |
10441s | actually pretty smart they're going to |
10442s | take down sniper and I mean yeah the |
10445s | trades right now favoring Val and |
10446s | guardians but they step off The Point |
10447s | Washington Timeless finding the flip |
10449s | sosler puts the turret for him down does |
10451s | die for it but the fact that Washington |
10454s | time was found the means that this fight |
10456s | can keep being Scrappy and it's going to |
10457s | favor Washington Timeless whisk with a |
10459s | grenade to take down zman but is going |
10461s | to fall for it and as the dust settles |
10463s | waston Timeless are pushing this into |
10465s | one fight territory valali and Guardians |
10467s | back at full strength a nice wall there |
10468s | from Chloe and a temporary Armistice Al |
10471s | be it very temporary blizzard almost |
10474s | ready to go there's going to be the |
10475s | artillery strike right away they're |
10476s | going to throw it down try to force out |
10478s | this lamp there no mortality field but |
10480s | it's not going to be done it's actually |
10481s | going to get the elimination oh that is |
10483s | catastrophic that means you only have |
10485s | the Lucio healing and that is not going |
10486s | to be enough especially when the other |
10488s | teams got over Health the Beat from |
10490s | Haley is going to be the drum that |
10491s | Washington Timeless March to the battle |
10493s | drums as they charge forward take the |
10496s | point and a little bit of a misstep |
10498s | there for Valley and Guardians to flip |
10500s | it at all if they hadn't given an up in |
10502s | the previous fight you got to imagine |
10504s | they would have had at least one more |
10505s | chance to recontest but that just got |
10507s | stolen right out from under them not as |
10509s | dominant as Washington Timeless had on |
10511s | their last go around tier on stream for |
10513s | LA but still |
10515s | a map win a a round win excuse me |
10518s | nonetheless the big thing that I've |
10520s | noticed is it seems like Washington |
10522s | Timeless forced their opponents into |
10523s | this very Scrappy style of fighting |
10525s | where it's all over the place and that's |
10527s | where they Thrive that we saw in their |
10529s | Series against trainers we're seeing it |
10530s | here against F Guardians where they are |
10532s | forcing their opponents to use ultimates |
10533s | in fights they don't really want to |
10535s | they're splitting them up it's all over |
10536s | the place but Washington thas they are |
10538s | the ones thriving in the chaos |
10540s | regardless they are consistently coming |
10541s | out on top of these crazy engagements |
10544s | and and now they are just one round away |
10546s | from taking this map once more calm |
10549s | Under Pressure thriving in the chaos |
10551s | that has been wased in ess's ammo |
10553s | Valiant Guardians going to have to sew a |
10555s | little bit more chaos if they want to |
10557s | make Washington Timeless sweat and |
10559s | they're going to go ahead and do |
10560s | essentially what Washington Timeless did |
10562s | in the last one position themselves |
10563s | where they have control over the point |
10564s | and Washington Timeless have to go |
10566s | through them to get to get their feet |
10568s | onto the point there and it looks like |
10570s | sniper is up to the task just going to |
10571s | push forward ice block forced out from H |
10573s | ke and she's not able to live actually |
10576s | the pressure does come out and gets |
10578s | forced out there pressured off and split |
10579s | from the rest of her team and despite |
10581s | the damage coming out from Valiant |
10583s | Guardians onto Washington Timeless it's |
10585s | looking like Washington Timeless are |
10586s | going to do just that they go right |
10587s | through Valiant Guardians capture the |
10589s | point make the bodies hit the floor and |
10592s | they are on the board another Point |
10594s | capture before the fight is finally |
10596s | finished it's not as big of a Stager |
10597s | this time but it's still a late kill |
10599s | nonetheless aore is just finally coming |
10601s | up now from Spawn they're so good at |
10603s | playing the objective and getting |
10604s | eliminations I've seen them so many |
10606s | times lose fights where they still hold |
10607s | possession for so long that they get |
10609s | down to final fight territory like what |
10611s | can't Washington ESS do correctly |
10613s | honestly like I keep saying I want them |
10615s | to lose just because I don't want a |
10616s | golden like Victory but they do lose at |
10618s | least one here in this fight I mean yeah |
10620s | you do ask what they can't do correctly |
10622s | and apparently that keeps Nosler alive |
10623s | in this fight sniper going to go ahead |
10625s | and try and stifle the pressure here the |
10628s | Wall comes out from aramori but it's a |
10630s | little bit crooked I think they want to |
10631s | try and take angles on both sides here |
10633s | and they do have sniper split off we'll |
10635s | see if they're able to punish that looks |
10636s | like they are going to but Chloe tosses |
10639s | in the blizzard but I think it got cut |
10640s | up by the wall there it's not going to |
10641s | be enough Des spite that sniper still |
10643s | alive gravitic flux comes out from |
10645s | moving fish an inreasing onto whips is |
10647s | going to force koo's sound barrier out |
10649s | and valy and Guardians do flip the point |
10651s | as Washington Timeless they fall back |
10653s | and again a very temporary |
10656s | Armistice yeah that's one of the times |
10657s | that they actually did not play The |
10659s | Objective very well but they're still |
10661s | playing this they're still trying to get |
10662s | some sort of fight Advantage here it's |
10664s | going to force it out terly strike but |
10665s | they lose H key in the meantime yeah and |
10668s | she was in the middle of popping the |
10669s | blizzard I don't know if that actually |
10670s | went off I think Halo might have like |
10671s | ajaxed the max rather and whis going to |
10674s | take down zman it's back and forth both |
10676s | ways but Valiant Guardians have conceded |
10679s | control of the point again to Washington |
10681s | Timeless and the last vestig is that |
10683s | being Caro trying to get out alive majax |
10686s | I I love that we got to use that more |
10688s | often CV toed it if if you ever Ed it in |
10689s | a broadcast it was a CV original but |
10691s | yeah I don't think it went off I'm |
10692s | pretty sure she died before it actually |
10695s | was on the field of play so two |
10698s | ultimates from the DPS slide of valiant |
10699s | Guardians neither finding anything the |
10701s | point flipped again before the fight |
10702s | actually ends watching Timeless they're |
10704s | looking at a last fight scenario they're |
10706s | going to use a G Flex right away and |
10707s | they've done so much damage already yeah |
10709s | whis does not living through that one |
10711s | the immortality field did come out but I |
10713s | think it was just a little bit too |
10714s | awkward there where everybody landed and |
10716s | they might as well have landed in their |
10717s | graves cuz that's where sniper and |
10718s | sosler have put them a late stagger |
10720s | there onto moving fish with only 10% |
10723s | left Caro is lurk working but Valiant |
10726s | Guardians yeah they're not going to get |
10727s | the touch here if if WatchON times have |
10729s | anything to say about it car actually |
10731s | does get a couple of toenails on the |
10733s | point there but that's about it hkey |
10735s | going to fall the window damage is just |
10737s | too much and yeah armori can pop hers |
10740s | but that's not going to get you on the |
10741s | point my dear and that should be washed |
10743s | in Timeless cleaning this one up with a |
10745s | token doomfist resistance from moving |
10747s | fish malan Guardians fall on control two |
10751s | to |
10752s | zero what a showing it's not 100 to zero |
10755s | like we saw last time but still just |
10758s | absolute dominance especially here on |
10760s | Icebreaker besides giving up the point |
10763s | when the fight wasn't over they did |
10765s | everything correct in fact that actually |
10766s | might have been the right call they |
10767s | forced out some ultimates during that |
10769s | fight from the opposing side they get |
10770s | positioning once again and then they |
10772s | ended up still winning that engagement |
10774s | when all was said and done so just like |
10777s | objective flight again is the name of |
10779s | the game you can I mean technically you |
10781s | could win a map without Ever Getting |
10783s | elimination it would be very difficult |
10784s | and the other team would have to like |
10785s | not have their mouse keyboard or monitor |
10788s | on but the objective is always going to |
10789s | be first and foremost what you're |
10791s | playing for and there they play it to |
10793s | Perfection starting off just like they |
10796s | did on the last time they played |
10798s | Antarctic Peninsula it's a two win I I I |
10801s | would love to see a team win a control |
10803s | point with the pacifist run but |
10804s | Washington Timeless are definitely not |
10806s | pacifists they like you said they thrive |
10808s | in the chaos they create a war zone |
10810s | around them and they control the tempo |
10812s | they are the harbingers of destru no |
10814s | matter what chaos you try to bring be it |
10817s | some erant blizzards coming out from |
10818s | hkey some big slams that may have come |
10821s | out from moving fish and even the |
10822s | Difference Maker aramori that we talked |
10824s | about wasn't enough to slow down |
10826s | Washington Timeless they still hold on |
10829s | to that Flawless record still have not |
10830s | dropped the map but the ball is no |
10832s | longer in their Court as now valy and |
10835s | Guardians having dropped this map losers |
10837s | map pick they get to choose where we go |
10839s | for Hybrid next yeah absolutely and I |
10841s | would not I would suggest they don't go |
10843s | to Midtown I don't want to see us go |
10845s | there again it seems like washing time |
10847s | was still that map through and through I |
10849s | want to see them may be placed out of |
10851s | their Zone I mean we talk about Nani |
10853s | that one if I believe I I have to |
10855s | remember correctly it was a week ago |
10856s | like some much just happened this week |
10857s | but I do think that went to extra rounds |
10860s | uh if I remember correctly like that was |
10861s | a pretty close map and I think it came |
10863s | down to just at the end of the day |
10865s | Wasing time was played it a little bit |
10866s | better and if I'm wrong they mean you |
10868s | can flame me chat for that go watch the |
10869s | VOD you can see it yourself but that's |
10871s | where they went last time it was a |
10872s | Washington Justice win |
10874s | so or watching watching Timeless not |
10876s | Wasington justice so I mean maybe you go |
10878s | to the last map in the pool that we you |
10880s | and I have not seen at all yet maybe but |
10884s | I mean you know we are at least again |
10885s | guaranteed to get a little bit of flash |
10887s | point here but sniper I mean right now |
10890s | okay The Meta seems to be trending |
10892s | mostly towards Sigma across all of |
10894s | competitive OverWatch from tier one all |
10896s | the way down to like the lowest vestages |
10899s | of it everybody sees what Florida Mayhem |
10901s | did in the grand finals and that means |
10903s | right here for calling all here Heroes |
10904s | you're going to have some of the best |
10906s | sigas in the game like sniper getting |
10909s | the better of their opponents time and |
10910s | time again and you can see that in the |
10912s | stats here only two deaths the whole |
10914s | time that's kind of crazy for a tank |
10916s | that I mean that it does mean that your |
10918s | healers are doing a lot of work and |
10919s | there were even some times where it |
10921s | looked like sniper was out of position |
10922s | and Valiant Guardians wanted to go for |
10924s | the punish but Halo was there zman was |
10926s | there immortality Fields all of the |
10928s | healing sniper never thoroughly got |
10930s | punished for that play and when you |
10932s | can't punish the enemy Sigma and the |
10933s | enemy Sigma is as good as sniper you're |
10936s | as good as dead and I think it's |
10937s | important to not also this is on the |
10939s | previous patch this is not on the Sombra |
10941s | rework patch this is not with the Samoa |
10943s | patch that just dropped a few days ago |
10944s | so I mean you you see what happened |
10946s | before you saw that it worked last week |
10948s | when you ran it yourself so you're just |
10949s | going to keep running the same thing |
10950s | over and over again I mean we've seen a |
10952s | few variations we saw in the last series |
10954s | that they can swap things up with the |
10956s | DPS lineup we saw the bun Widow Maker |
10958s | which was a treat to say the least but |
10961s | the sigma sniper has always been that |
10963s | starart front line that they need and |
10965s | again like when you see how their |
10967s | supports are playing how could you play |
10970s | anything else because as you as we saw |
10972s | sniper died only twice that is |
10974s | incredible for a meta where Bastion is |
10976s | just mowing you down I mean so both both |
10979s | of these tank players by the way sniper |
10980s | and moving fish historically on some of |
10982s | their uh contenders and Collegiate and |
10985s | various teams throughout the scenes that |
10986s | they've been on they have been the off |
10988s | tank player which previously in dive |
10990s | metas meant you come in on circuit |
10992s | Royale to play Sigma so it's like their |
10994s | signature hero for both of them moving |
10995s | fish is showing a little bit more |
10997s | diversity but sniper is just showing |
10999s | more dominance when it comes to Sigma |
11001s | and I think that is one of the many |
11003s | reasons that Washington Timeless have |
11005s | been so successful thus far I mean we |
11007s | keep we can point out any member of |
11009s | their team we keep pointing out uh bun |
11011s | we keep pointing out Halo this team is |
11013s | just top tier across the board but going |
11016s | up against somebody like moving fish who |
11018s | has that similar pedigree of being the |
11020s | sigma specialist for a team is very |
11023s | telling coming out ahead in that 1 V one |
11025s | from for Sniper is very telling is there |
11028s | a sigma in calling all heroes that can |
11031s | Dethrone sniper we will have to see so |
11033s | far the answer has been no we're going |
11036s | to have to see if they can go for that |
11038s | dethroning play on Midtown I was wrong I |
11041s | mean at least it's not what I would have |
11043s | chosen what is it about mtown why what |
11046s | happened to Nani chat I thought we were |
11048s | all in on numani last week what happened |
11050s | and that's the thing I wanted to say |
11051s | this uh we have had the same hybrid map |
11053s | like through both weekends like it was |
11055s | Nani the entire time we broadcasted last |
11057s | week it's menown the entire time we |
11059s | broadcasted this week it seems like the |
11060s | the map picks just keeps switching week |
11062s | to week but I'm I'm a bit surprised |
11065s | honestly about this from Valiant |
11066s | Guardians because we just saw what |
11068s | Wasington Timeless could do um and I |
11070s | mean they haven't lost a map yet so they |
11072s | were at least two and0 on this map for |
11074s | the two series that we've seen them on |
11076s | um on broadcast so this feels like I I |
11079s | would have L to seen ien Walt honestly |
11080s | ien Walt is the last map in this pool |
11081s | I'm not sure if ien Walt has been played |
11083s | at all um at least we haven't seen I |
11085s | think it might have been played once |
11086s | last week with uh Kwing and Billy when |
11088s | they were casting but it seems like no |
11091s | one wants to go to that maybe no one's |
11092s | comfortable on it and said that it's |
11093s | been noani in Midtown and Midtown feels |
11096s | like a place at Washington Timeless just |
11098s | know too well I I think people don't |
11101s | want to pick iin because as the attacker |
11104s | trying to play into this meta it's just |
11105s | too difficult like I ion's weird right |
11109s | like the first map feels very brawl |
11110s | heavy where you'll see a lot of Sigma |
11111s | you'll see a lot of Arisa point B feels |
11114s | like you kind of need like something DIY |
11116s | in order to try and crack the defense |
11117s | especially if they are playing a segma |
11118s | on The High Ground but then it's like if |
11120s | you play Winston into a Bastion you're |
11122s | going to drive yourself into the looney |
11124s | bin in no time flat like it's going it |
11126s | just isn't going to be a fun time at all |
11128s | so that makes sense why we're seeing so |
11130s | much Nani and why we're seeing so much |
11132s | Midtown cuz Midtown is easily the broest |
11135s | of the three like we have this High |
11137s | Ground on the second point that you can |
11139s | see over here overlooking streets phase |
11141s | but point B and point a are both very |
11143s | very very brawl heavy and that's kind of |
11145s | that ven diagram that Sigma likes to |
11148s | live right the that intersection of |
11150s | controlling High ground and brawling it |
11152s | out especially with the May Bastion |
11155s | compositions that we've been seeing |
11156s | everybody favoring especially Washington |
11158s | Timeless can I get an oo in the chat we |
11161s | got the oo back once again some meows as |
11164s | well I know there's been a few meows |
11166s | today here and there I think the biggest |
11168s | thing about this is that traditionally |
11170s | Sigma as you said like as an off tank |
11171s | and the previous meta as a double shield |
11172s | the rest you the main tank |
11174s | very fun meta everyone loved it |
11176s | obviously but the big thing now is like |
11178s | even in OverWatch 2 when we like saw |
11180s | this pick on Casino Royale in the past |
11182s | or circuit Royale excuse me CET Royale |
11184s | is a James Bond movie very good one very |
11186s | good one yeah I always think of that for |
11188s | some reason I you know no no shout out |
11189s | to M by the way but the big thing is |
11192s | that it's always been kind of like that |
11194s | poke comp like Baptist Zenyatta maybe |
11196s | double sniper but this new meta is that |
11198s | hybrid of where you just want to run in |
11200s | with the you want to play Brawl straight |
11201s | up in their face and mid un let you do |
11204s | that for a lot of it there is that high |
11205s | ground that you sometimes have to |
11206s | contest but other than that like it's |
11208s | literally just two teams smashing into |
11209s | each other just like you would have a |
11210s | Reinhardt just like you would have a |
11211s | junker Queen caution low clearance I |
11214s | have it on good authority that moving |
11216s | fish is actually 11' 4 in a very tall |
11219s | gaming warlord so that's going to make |
11221s | that choke all the more difficult to try |
11222s | and get through Washton Timeless |
11224s | actually conceding a fair bit of ground |
11225s | just for the sake of holding the Angles |
11227s | and not letting bant Guardians get |
11229s | through as the two teams just kind of |
11231s | jockey for position here moving fish |
11232s | actually going to make a pretty big |
11234s | rotate around on their left hand side |
11236s | there and suddenly Washington Timeless |
11238s | are being slowly forced up the stairs |
11240s | the immortality forced out as the |
11241s | accretion went out onto moving fish and |
11243s | valian Guardians I mean they di their |
11245s | toes in the water but it seems a little |
11246s | bit too cold they have to jump back |
11249s | out very close so the field had to be |
11251s | thrown up by zman as well to make sure |
11253s | that sniper and snower could stay alive |
11256s | after that wall came up and almost |
11257s | section them all from the rest of the |
11258s | team now both teams or at least one team |
11261s | Ari already has that ant Matrix and it's |
11262s | going to help catch out Haley yeah that |
11264s | Bastion grenade I still don't know why |
11266s | it hasn't been nerfed and I'm sure |
11267s | Haley's going to be wishing for a Nerf |
11268s | right now but through an ant Matrix I |
11270s | don't think it makes all the difference |
11271s | zman going to fall as well and without a |
11273s | Healer to your name the point is surely |
11275s | going to go in favor of valiant |
11276s | Guardians that's a great play there from |
11279s | aramori and a great follow up from wisps |
11282s | and that is going to be a very quick |
11284s | first point take no C9 necessary for |
11287s | that one just outright win the fight 5 |
11289s | minutes on the clock and this might be |
11291s | exactly why Valiant Guardians picked |
11292s | this map they had very smart rotation |
11294s | they waited for the amri to be built up |
11296s | they used it in a great spot that helped |
11298s | get that initial pick and the Bastion |
11300s | grenade through the amri is just instant |
11301s | depth that hits anyone it does so much |
11303s | more damage because of that increased |
11305s | damage threshold that amplication Matrix |
11306s | gives you I mean speaking of instant |
11308s | death this might be it for Valiant |
11310s | Guardians there's that immortality field |
11312s | but it's not enough to save moving fish |
11313s | a huge gravitic flux from sniper and the |
11315s | followup is absolutely there and as |
11318s | quickly as they cap the point Valiant |
11320s | Guardians are now going to lose control |
11321s | of it Washington and Timeless are taking |
11323s | all of that space right back this first |
11325s | fight on second Point seems so difficult |
11327s | just because of The High Ground |
11328s | Advantage you have as a Defender it's |
11329s | not just the far back over the bridge |
11331s | it's also this kind of like scaffolding |
11333s | to the right side that we've seen a few |
11334s | teams try to set up on or at least hold |
11336s | on to as the cart moves forward and |
11338s | watching Timeless they' played that |
11340s | before they played like that again and |
11341s | they are not afraid to play it more in |
11343s | the face of vant Guardian instead of |
11344s | getting them all this free room the good |
11346s | new for Valiant Guardians though they're |
11347s | going to have an entire alic and Al |
11349s | apocalypse as you will as they go in |
11350s | through this there's the artillery |
11352s | strike coming out a lot of bolts |
11354s | actually being popped both blizzards |
11355s | comes out sound barrier from car to try |
11357s | and keep the team alive Haley going to |
11358s | respond in kind with one of her own but |
11360s | Hale oh H key gets a little bit melted |
11363s | down there by sosler the artillery |
11364s | strike going to come out from whis but a |
11367s | great grenade jump there from sosler to |
11368s | avoid the damage there in Valiant |
11370s | Guardians they have been able to find a |
11372s | way through the door by the way |
11373s | Washington Timeless are not playing The |
11375s | High Ground chat they are playing |
11377s | forward they want to try and control the |
11379s | choke and not even let Valiant Guardians |
11381s | touch the point this is worst case |
11384s | scenario for Gans they still have 3 and |
11386s | 1/2 minutes but they used everything |
11388s | there and they got nothing for it they |
11390s | have to build up an entire Al economy |
11392s | once again after having a full Al bank |
11394s | they can't catch out sniper it was a |
11396s | force IM mortality field from zman to |
11398s | keep them alive as well as some |
11399s | Shenanigans of the wall that they had to |
11401s | get through but Wasing Timeless like you |
11402s | said they are holding so aggressively |
11404s | and Valiant Guardians have not been able |
11406s | to find a way to break through sniper |
11407s | has another gravitic flux if they need |
11409s | it and they are going to indeed pop it |
11410s | and there's no tool there's only the |
11411s | immortality field from aramori again |
11414s | moving fish does not get caught in it |
11415s | and sniper with a nice 2K the wall from |
11418s | bun is phenomenal and I mean again off |
11421s | the back of these gravitic flock is |
11422s | Washington Timeless continue to hold |
11424s | ground and Valiant Guardians haven't |
11426s | even sniffed the payload in about 3 |
11427s | minutes the wall from bun again these |
11431s | are just insane there it cuts off the |
11433s | line of sight if the morality field |
11435s | there's no chance for moving face to |
11436s | survive through all of that damage and |
11438s | the rest of the team isn't there to |
11439s | break the wall in time this amazing team |
11441s | play from Washington Timeless they are |
11442s | going to get pressed out just a little |
11443s | bit it's a split approach this time for |
11445s | Valiant Guardians and at least finally |
11447s | they're able to touch the cart once more |
11448s | but can they do anything more than that |
11450s | once again WatchON Timeless they Bend |
11452s | but then they snap right back there's |
11454s | that ant Matrix coming out from zman an |
11456s | artillery strike from whiffs and the |
11458s | gravitic flux Haley is there with the |
11460s | sound barrier to try and stifle all of |
11462s | the damage Chloe does get caught out |
11464s | there though so finally the big |
11465s | playmaker the walls now no longer a |
11468s | factor Val and Guardians can break the |
11470s | walls down charge on forward up onto |
11472s | this High Ground sosler pops the |
11474s | artillery strike catches out Koo but is |
11476s | going to pay for it and I think that |
11477s | might even be an acceptable loss there |
11480s | but wisps is not because now they don't |
11483s | really have the means to both push the |
11485s | cart and control The High Ground at the |
11487s | same time no they do not and it looks |
11489s | like M Guardians in the meantime have |
11491s | decided to back off The High Ground try |
11492s | to get more progress actually backed off |
11495s | completely for the time being I think |
11496s | they're trying to go for a full team |
11497s | reset and then re-engage on The High |
11499s | Ground they're giving up valuable time |
11500s | they're giving up but could have been |
11501s | possible progress I mean they only have |
11503s | a minute and a half left they lose this |
11504s | fight they only have one maybe two |
11506s | fights more if they're lucky and this |
11508s | car is just not moving at all there's |
11510s | the sound barrier from Cara to respond |
11512s | to that blizzard and HQ still caught in |
11514s | it though she might fall she's able to |
11515s | cling with a sliver of Health the |
11517s | immortality field saves her life there |
11518s | she's able to clap back with one of her |
11520s | own but sniper has another gravitic flux |
11522s | and there's no sound barrier now to stop |
11524s | it HQ is finally stifled but sniper |
11527s | stuck in a corner put in timeout Caro |
11530s | going to dish out the beating and put |
11531s | sniper down there and I mean and it's |
11533s | Scrappy it's trades for |
11536s | trades armori going to fall Valiant |
11538s | Guardians with only a minute left this |
11540s | fight needed to be it needed to be |
11542s | decisive WatchON Timeless they've made |
11544s | it Scrappy and they've bought themselves |
11546s | more time they're still control of The |
11548s | High Ground Valiant Guardians can't |
11549s | break through here and they need to find |
11552s | something and they're almost entirely |
11553s | out of ult to do it they really needed |
11555s | to play the cart there I I'm very |
11557s | confused on the decision making yeah |
11559s | sniper gets the accretion of a lifetime |
11561s | and now more time is going to be off the |
11562s | clock valant guard Ian are getting run |
11564s | through right now and it all comes down |
11566s | to the fact that they didn't get cart |
11567s | movement the ant Matrix being used as |
11569s | well in a lost fight they will have an |
11572s | artillery strike they will have a great |
11573s | flux but I just really wish they had |
11575s | played that low ground they should have |
11576s | kept moving the cart I don't know why |
11578s | they let Washington tyus retake The High |
11580s | Ground for free I look at how far |
11582s | forward Washington tyus are playing |
11583s | they're once again going to this choke |
11585s | the artillery strike is going to force |
11586s | them back just a little bit and SN |
11588s | actually doesn't get doesn't get all the |
11590s | healing there was no immortality field |
11591s | that time that might have been a small |
11593s | stake there from zman to try and hold on |
11594s | to that sound beer comes out from Haley |
11596s | and it's forced out but the am Matrix |
11598s | melts down moving fish and it looks like |
11601s | it's going to be all washed and Timeless |
11603s | yet again despite the heroic play there |
11606s | despite that artillery strike from whis |
11608s | KO with a little bit of a sound Bearer |
11609s | to try and keep himself alive but it's |
11611s | not going to be enough it's all for not |
11613s | the cart will stop underneath the |
11614s | overpass Washington Timeless with a |
11617s | beautiful point be hold they are so |
11619s | dominant and so in control all of the |
11621s | time they are down but they are never |
11624s | out 4v5 it doesn't even matter just use |
11626s | both support ultimates to sustain to get |
11629s | more damage done and just WIP moving |
11631s | fish off the face of the Earth there |
11633s | even with his gra or excuse me their |
11635s | grasp out just could not get the job |
11638s | done there and it's so unfortunate for |
11640s | Valiant Guardians because I really think |
11642s | there was an opportunity for them to get |
11643s | more progress I harped on it before I'm |
11645s | going to harp on it once more here I |
11648s | just feel like positionally wise they |
11650s | misplayed one of those last fights when |
11651s | they had a minute and a half left |
11653s | understand that they were down members |
11654s | so they were trying to get that full |
11655s | team recontest but once they got that |
11657s | recontest you got to play the C you got |
11659s | to keep getting that progress The High |
11661s | Ground doesn't matter if you're already |
11662s | underneath where it is they had the |
11664s | tunnel they were in the middle of it and |
11666s | they never got to move past where that |
11668s | cart finally is where you could see |
11669s | where it was just a few moments ago that |
11671s | was where it stopped when they went for |
11672s | the regroup and Washington time was once |
11674s | they got that High Ground they never |
11676s | gave it up they just got they were given |
11678s | a gift and it was the gift that kept on |
11681s | giving in those last few fights I mean |
11683s | speaking of gifts it feels like sniper |
11685s | is getting gifts from the heavens with |
11686s | all of these gravitic fluxes but that's |
11688s | not actually the case it's because |
11689s | they're putting out so much damage and |
11691s | of course Zan and Haley are doing so |
11693s | much healing to keep that aggression up |
11695s | so sniper can build up to the gravitic |
11696s | fluxes all the healing means more sound |
11698s | barriers means more amplification |
11700s | matrixes and every time sniper pops a |
11702s | gravitic flux somebody dies because the |
11705s | DPS are playing around that ultimate |
11707s | ability so well Washington Timeless feel |
11710s | like pieces of a puzzle playing around |
11712s | each other so well they are one cohesive |
11714s | picture and Valiant Guardians have yet |
11717s | to find a way to break it up they have |
11719s | yet to find a way in they have found |
11721s | ways to make them bleed just a little |
11723s | bit and to take a little bit of space |
11725s | but it hasn't been enough to take the |
11727s | entirety of the point and now they have |
11729s | to full hold here at the choke and it |
11731s | looks like they're off to a pretty solid |
11732s | start there but the wall from Chloe say |
11735s | it with me chat once again sections |
11736s | everybody off and yep wisps is going to |
11738s | fall sosler just melts down the enemy |
11740s | Bastion and yeah I mean valant Guardians |
11743s | they've already crumbled waston Timeless |
11745s | are already on the point and Guardians |
11746s | have no say in the matter they're |
11749s | chasing for these eliminations they do |
11750s | not want this Rec to come out at all a |
11753s | nice ice block to keep them alive it |
11754s | doesn't look like they'll get that kill |
11756s | they do snaz with the grenade from |
11758s | downtown and the follow up onto KIRO |
11760s | they are going for the spawn Camp right |
11762s | now that objective it's going to take a |
11764s | while as Haley is just going to you know |
11766s | play some tunes in a DJ right now on the |
11768s | Lucio so it's going to take a bit to get |
11770s | that point a little bit slower than it |
11772s | would be if they were on but the |
11773s | positioning that Wast thas are getting |
11775s | right now this is incredible they are |
11777s | not letting this pressure down they |
11779s | continuously pushing into on Guardians |
11781s | and Guardians they are faltering but |
11783s | they do get Chloe yeah Chloe went a |
11785s | little bit too aggressive there and got |
11787s | caught out and this is great for Valiant |
11789s | Guardians because it means that they can |
11790s | try and control this High ground and |
11791s | they do just that they take down zman |
11794s | but 5 minutes on the clock to try and do |
11796s | exactly what Valiant Guardians did but |
11798s | better is their task at hand but this is |
11801s | exactly where Valiant Guardians |
11802s | themselves got stopped right this is |
11804s | especially winning that first fight I |
11805s | like the idea from Timeless they're |
11807s | trying to take that aggressive |
11808s | positioning but Chloe just got pincered |
11810s | the rest of Val gr says hey there's a |
11811s | May here let's just swarm her take her |
11814s | down and that's exactly what they did |
11815s | they're now going to hold the same |
11816s | positioning that Timeless did themselves |
11818s | and they have the ultimate Advantage |
11819s | there was already an ant Matrix that was |
11821s | used early on in that lost fight that |
11823s | won't be online for just a little bit so |
11825s | bant Guardians knowing they have that UL |
11826s | Advantage they are going to play much |
11828s | more aggressively and they might |
11829s | actually catch up zman oh they |
11831s | absolutely are the immortality field |
11833s | though might be enough to keep Z man |
11834s | alive it is not HQ is there with the |
11836s | follow up and here comes whips with that |
11839s | ant Matrix assist there to pump out all |
11841s | of the damage and it seems like Valiant |
11843s | Guardians despite having to invest that |
11845s | sound bear to keep everybody alive |
11846s | through the artillery strike are going |
11847s | to sustain here and I thought for sure |
11850s | that it was going to be the gravitic |
11851s | flux that came out from moving fish cuz |
11853s | they had it early but they didn't even |
11854s | need to they just caught zman out this |
11857s | might be the sagger of s where are you |
11859s | going yeah snipers all the way behind |
11861s | them I mean the rest of the team is cut |
11862s | off they could just run in they're going |
11863s | to run in with the blizzard doesn't find |
11865s | anything just yet but there it goes |
11867s | Chloe oh this is I mean they get the |
11869s | trade I guess but sniper still not |
11871s | anywhere near the team I mean sniper has |
11873s | now found themselves into a duel with |
11874s | Caro but everyone else now knows |
11876s | sniper's whereabouts and they're going |
11878s | to do a lot abouto what a gravitic flux |
11881s | gets canceled by the accretion there I |
11883s | don't know about that play there sniper |
11884s | but I mean the rest of the team is there |
11886s | they're able to stay alive they're going |
11887s | to take down H how there is no shot |
11891s | washon Timeless win this fight what are |
11894s | you kidding me they can't keep getting |
11896s | away of it CB how did they keep doing |
11898s | this every single freaking time they |
11901s | should not win these they're at such big |
11904s | number disadvantages and they just they |
11907s | oh sniper should have not been able to |
11909s | live that long they are just left alone |
11911s | G Guardians don't think it's an issue |
11913s | that there's a sigma behind them and |
11915s | they win that one out the cart it's |
11916s | still moving they might just get the |
11918s | capture yeah someone has to try and |
11919s | touch that's a greater strike to take |
11921s | down Chloe the C okay moving fish is |
11923s | down there they have the gravitic flux |
11925s | but once again looks like they're not |
11926s | going to need it but I'm starting to get |
11928s | concerned with how long moving fish has |
11929s | held on to this gravitic flux I I feel |
11931s | like you know there's been of |
11932s | opportunities to try and use it to win |
11934s | out fights there but still holding on to |
11936s | it Haley can just hold on to the sound |
11938s | barrier until they pop it exactly so |
11942s | there is still a counter for this |
11944s | gravitic flux but there might not be one |
11945s | for this blizzard that HK is not too far |
11948s | away from if they use thetic flux as a |
11950s | way to get out the sound barrier early |
11951s | on and then use the lizard as a followup |
11953s | it could work wonders and this time bank |
11955s | is being whittel bit by bit there's only |
11957s | 2 and2 minutes remember I mean watching |
11959s | time has had 5 minutes when this all |
11960s | started and they are struggling just as |
11962s | much as vant Guardians did on their own |
11963s | attack sosler almost gets caught out |
11965s | there but is able to stay alive the |
11966s | healers from Washington Timeless are |
11968s | working overtime someone needs to pay |
11970s | them extra for all the work they're |
11971s | doing to keep sniper and the rest of the |
11974s | gang from feeding but I mean feeding |
11976s | more it's more of a Feeding Frenzy they |
11977s | are they are feasting right now and they |
11980s | are pushing that card again they're |
11981s | forced to B Guardians are forced to drop |
11983s | off The High Ground there is that gra |
11985s | gravitic flux with the sound barrier and |
11987s | there's the blizzard to try and follow |
11990s | it up and it actually freeze the sniper |
11992s | out of their gravitic flux and this |
11993s | should be Valiant Guardians with the dub |
11995s | on this fight they're able to hold on |
11997s | just a little bit longer it went exactly |
11999s | how I thought it would you use the |
12000s | Blizzard at the end chlo's going to use |
12001s | their own blizzard a few members are |
12003s | weak but the immortality the |
12006s | sh oh this is not looking good for |
12008s | Washington Timeless we've talked about |
12010s | how good they are in these clutch |
12011s | Scrappy SC arios but there two ultimates |
12014s | down the drain not able to find anything |
12016s | with them and now they're down to a |
12018s | minute four ulat down the drain that's |
12020s | four this is the most desperate they've |
12023s | look this is the most I would say in the |
12025s | dirt we've seen that this is the most |
12026s | likely loss they might have but they are |
12028s | continuing to move this cart and again |
12030s | it's going to have to be contested how |
12032s | does car use this sound barrier I mean |
12035s | he's on the low ground just trying to |
12036s | contest right now so here comes the |
12038s | artillery strike from sosler sniper |
12039s | takes down HQ early that is really |
12041s | really bad is going to have to be forced |
12043s | to make a decision here and it's time |
12045s | it's crunch time here comes the blizzard |
12047s | the wall to stop uh to stop whis from |
12049s | pushing forward the rest of Wason |
12051s | Timeless are lurking up on the ceiling |
12053s | and they are going to drop down from the |
12055s | attic from the top rope on top of Wis |
12057s | who's able to stabilize and pop the |
12059s | artillery strike and it's going to pop |
12060s | it rain death all over the point sosler |
12063s | is going to fall HQ is back on the |
12065s | soldier 76 and valant Guardians Despite |
12067s | All Odds are still holding strong here |
12070s | they've lost moving fish though so their |
12071s | grip is loosening Washington Timeless |
12074s | they're going to use the amp Matrix to |
12075s | pump out a little bit more damage car |
12077s | can't poke his head out he's just stuck |
12079s | in this little choke here hoping that |
12080s | the passive healing is enough and it |
12082s | looks like for now it is only 12 seconds |
12085s | left Haley going to go ahead and pop the |
12086s | sound barrier here comes a gravitic flux |
12088s | from sniper and there is nothing that is |
12090s | going to stop all of this damage there's |
12091s | nothing left in the tank for Valiant |
12093s | Guardians is watched in Timeless they |
12095s | punch their ticket and at the Midnight |
12097s | Hour they are able to get that cap there |
12100s | it was so close but they they go up 20 |
12103s | we're not done we still have another map |
12105s | in this series they can bend but they |
12108s | don't break Washington tiess again in |
12111s | that final hour as you said find the |
12113s | ultimates they need the sound barrier |
12115s | the gravitic flux all come out just in |
12117s | the nick of time and these fights again |
12120s | they were down members when they all |
12121s | started and they just keep throwing |
12122s | bodies at the point they're able to swap |
12125s | who's on the point well enough they have |
12127s | an ant Matrix that also helps and |
12128s | sustain throughout all of that but looks |
12130s | like what could be a valiant Guardians |
12132s | win what could be a 1-1 series is once |
12134s | again Washington tit is going up two one |
12137s | away from punching their ticket to the |
12139s | Grand finals one step away from being |
12141s | backto back champions if they're able to |
12143s | get there and it was so so close but |
12146s | they get it done every single time and |
12149s | both of these teams are scrappier than |
12150s | Scooby-Doo's nephew and I mean you keep |
12153s | talking about it like how they just |
12154s | throw bodies at the point throw |
12155s | ultimates at fights that they shouldn't |
12157s | win and both teams are privy to that but |
12160s | Washington Timeless just have the they |
12162s | have a lucky rabbit's foot or something |
12164s | there is a guardian angel someone |
12165s | looking out for them so that they are |
12168s | able to come up ahead every time and in |
12170s | the neutral fight when you know both |
12172s | teams are playing more optimally it's |
12173s | again waston Timeless that come up ahead |
12176s | almost every time sniper has a gravitic |
12178s | flux somebody dies because of it sure a |
12181s | couple of times it's sniper that dies |
12183s | because of it but when it's not it's |
12185s | usually two to three members of valiant |
12187s | Guardians and that's because Washington |
12188s | Timeless again like I was saying play |
12190s | around each other so so well they |
12193s | understand their wind conditions and how |
12194s | to execute them and boy oh boy are their |
12197s | executions I mean as long as there isn't |
12199s | an accretion to stop it or you know a |
12201s | blizzard to freeze it up it seems like |
12203s | these gratic fluxes are finding a lot of |
12205s | value and one thing I want to point out |
12207s | actually that I don't think we really |
12208s | touched upon was that HP in that last |
12210s | fight had to swap to Soldier to touch |
12211s | the point to get back into the swing of |
12213s | things and that's a big difference maker |
12215s | because that means you have no May uh |
12217s | you do have the healing PAD as a soldier |
12219s | but it's not necessarily the same |
12220s | protection where you're invulnerable |
12221s | like May has with her ice block there's |
12224s | no wall to catch off everyone um you can |
12227s | see here like the solders is trying to |
12229s | run away trying to live sustain do |
12232s | anything to stay alive in that |
12233s | engagement but can't do it and I think |
12235s | that like early pick onto H key that |
12237s | made them swap the soldier was a really |
12239s | big difference maker in that last |
12241s | engagement this head-to-head right now |
12243s | is everything like I said every single |
12245s | tank in calling all heroes is absolutely |
12248s | sick especially on the sigma and both of |
12250s | these players have history as Sigma |
12252s | specialist I'm loving some of the micr |
12254s | plays I'm seeing from moving fish the |
12256s | accretions to stun sniper out of |
12257s | gravitic flux the little Shield bear to |
12260s | save their Frozen teammates from dying |
12262s | was everything I'm loving that stuff but |
12264s | it's just not enough to stop the macro |
12267s | play that we're seeing from sniper and |
12269s | everyone who has coales around them to |
12272s | make this Sigma pick as effective as it |
12274s | is like I keep saying whenever sniper |
12276s | has a gravitic flux someone dies and you |
12280s | need that if you're going to be a |
12281s | successful team you need to have that |
12283s | decisiveness that win condition and be |
12285s | able to execute it over and over again |
12287s | and looking at the deaths moving fish |
12290s | was executed just a few more times than |
12291s | sniper was look at the ultimates used |
12294s | actually because you had pointed out |
12295s | yourself that it seems like moving fish |
12296s | was holding on to these gravitic fluxes |
12298s | a lot more had went for like a minute |
12300s | minute and a half something around that |
12302s | time bank so like just the ultimates |
12304s | weren't coming out as fast maybe trying |
12306s | to save it for that special occasion |
12307s | maybe waiting for the sound barrier to |
12309s | already be committed so that way they |
12310s | can guarantee that it finds value but I |
12312s | feel like cyber was just throwing it out |
12314s | there you know I have it all right we're |
12316s | opening the fight with it we're going to |
12317s | see what we can get from this and |
12318s | because of that it allowed them to |
12320s | engage like more often and as you can |
12323s | see like the elimination more in their |
12325s | favor because of that so that's a big |
12326s | difference I want to see moving fish be |
12328s | a bit more aggressive with that ultimate |
12329s | usage you don't have to save it for a |
12330s | rainy day because that rainy day might |
12332s | be coming sooner than later CU you're |
12334s | facing elimination to the lower bracket |
12336s | if you lose this next map well we will |
12338s | have to see if that is the story we have |
12340s | to write today as Washington and |
12342s | Timeless are still Flawless it was shaky |
12345s | and they almost had a blemish on their |
12347s | record it's now or never right it's |
12350s | either they lose this or sorry they get |
12352s | reverse SWAT by Valley and Guardians |
12353s | right now or they go to to Grand finals |
12355s | just essentially for free Valley and |
12357s | Guardians have to be the ones to make |
12358s | them bleed and we will see if that |
12360s | happens it's still Valiant Guardians map |
12362s | pick we'll be right back after a quick |
12363s | break chat don't go |
12370s | anywhere |

12559s | [Music] |
12561s | Washington Timeless continue to bend but |
12563s | they do not break are they unbreakable |
12566s | we will have to see Valley and Guardians |
12568s | definitely put a couple dents in their |
12569s | armor but not quite a crack yet as |
12572s | Washington Timeless are still Flawless |
12574s | sitting at 2 it's valan Guardians map |
12576s | pick they have to try and make something |
12578s | happen right now once again it's reverse |
12580s | sweep or go down to the lower bracket |
12583s | you kill like three members of |
12585s | Washington Timeless and they just say |
12586s | just nothing but a flesh win and still |
12588s | win the fight every single time you can |
12591s | never count them out you can never |
12593s | assume that the fight is won until all |
12595s | five of those members of Washington |
12597s | Timeless are in spawn and Valiant |
12598s | Guardians like you said one last shot to |
12601s | advance the grand finals themselves the |
12603s | good news for them lower bracket still |
12605s | awaits if they end up losing this one |
12606s | they could play for getting back into |
12608s | the grand finals get some Revenge get a |
12610s | rematch of the last minor against |
12612s | Washington Timeless if they lose this |
12613s | one here but it is going to be flas |
12616s | Point once more bad news for them |
12618s | there's only really two maps you can |
12619s | choose from new junk City or serasa so |
12621s | not a whole lot of options and we don't |
12623s | know what it is just yet as you said I'm |
12625s | very curious to see what they pick here |
12627s | I I'm expecting surasa personally I |
12630s | think that might be a little bit more |
12631s | conducive to what we've seen I think |
12632s | both of these teams are trying to lean a |
12634s | little bit more into the sigma |
12635s | composition but Wasington Timeless even |
12638s | when they frankly should not be are |
12640s | getting the better of the sigma miror |
12641s | they just have a better understanding of |
12643s | how to play this composition we talked |
12645s | or I I I I remember I brought it up very |
12647s | early on I know we talked about it how |
12649s | how many gravitic fluxes sniper is using |
12651s | and part of that is because of how much |
12652s | damage they're doing how quickly they're |
12654s | able to build to those gravitic fluxes |
12655s | over and over again and also how much |
12658s | healing zman and Haley are putting out |
12660s | onto sniper that means that they always |
12662s | have a sound barrier and an amp Matrix |
12664s | and an immortality field and all the |
12665s | tools they could possibly want to |
12667s | respond to moving fish's gravitic fluxes |
12669s | while Caro and armore are a little bit |
12671s | further behind it's not to say that |
12673s | they're playing poorly it's not to say |
12674s | that there's any sort of you know issue |
12676s | going on with either backline just that |
12678s | Washington Timeless understand their win |
12680s | condition how to play this composition |
12681s | and they are as cohesive as it gets |
12684s | their armor is still steadfast Valiant |
12686s | Guardians have got to make a crack now |
12689s | and I think we got to remind everyone |
12691s | that Haley also known as Halo previously |
12693s | was on this Valiant Guardians roster |
12695s | they were on the roster for the last |
12697s | Miner they were dealt a Blow by |
12699s | Washington ESS in the last event they |
12701s | ended up falling to them and now they've |
12703s | joined up with this team and you had |
12704s | mentioned before that it's like every |
12706s | member of this squad is a piece of the |
12707s | puzzle I don't think Haley was the |
12709s | missing piece I think she's a cheat code |
12711s | I think she has just absolutely |
12713s | accelerated what this team can do the |
12715s | again like it was only Haley and sniper |
12717s | that won what was a 4v2 I think uh in a |
12720s | fight the should never wi sniper was |
12721s | like literally in the defender spawn on |
12725s | Midtown was just all the way away from |
12726s | the fight somehow gets back into it |
12728s | sound be gratic flux they win that one |
12730s | out so Haley has just been a huge |
12733s | difference maker and again there's like |
12734s | that component of this is my former team |
12736s | I really want to beat them I've already |
12737s | done it once in the swis stage but this |
12739s | is where it matters the most in the |
12740s | playoffs I mean she very well might do |
12742s | it again might get one over or three |
12745s | over in a row on her old team and I mean |
12748s | again it's their map pick we're still |
12750s | waiting on them to decide it's a 50-50 |
12751s | shot like either way like we said yeah |
12754s | yeah they still still haven't picked a |
12755s | map they're really weighing their |
12756s | options here and honestly like yeah you |
12758s | you want to think about this because you |
12760s | don't have another chance |
12762s | at flash point here the two maps are |
12763s | very very similar but different in a |
12765s | number of ways surasa we did see plays |
12768s | very well into that Sigma uh that Sigma |
12770s | style that both teams want to try and |
12772s | play and you know we've seen a little |
12775s | bit of flexibility from Valiant |
12776s | Guardians and that might favor them on |
12778s | New junk City but are they willing to |
12780s | take that risk are they willing to make |
12782s | that gamble because it paid off for them |
12783s | on control last weekend but it didn't |
12785s | pay off for them on control this weekend |
12788s | and outside of that we've only seen the |
12789s | sigma mirror so what are are the |
12792s | Guardians cooking it looks like we yeah |
12795s | I we know now I was going to say before |
12797s | that that I feel like new junk city is |
12799s | the riskier Gamble and it's kind of like |
12801s | do you play what you think they're going |
12802s | to be worse at or do you play what you |
12803s | think you're going to be best at and I'm |
12804s | assuming when you pick Sasa it's what |
12806s | you're best at what you think you have |
12807s | the best chance on versus what you think |
12809s | your opponent is going to struggle on |
12810s | the most so not surprising you already |
12813s | listed all the reasons why it makes |
12814s | sense it makes the most sense for this |
12816s | Sigma mirror we're expecting it to be |
12817s | the sigma mirror through and through |
12819s | there there hasn't even been like a |
12820s | change in the DP PS it's been basically |
12822s | May and uh Bastion the entire time |
12824s | except for those emergency swaps and |
12826s | you're trying to touch here and there um |
12828s | so it's just going to be good old mirror |
12830s | once more and so far it's been |
12832s | Washington Timeless winning that mirror |
12834s | every single time I mean and we saw the |
12836s | same thing you know we saw Washington |
12837s | Timeless beating out drainers on this |
12840s | very map and yeah the last point was |
12841s | very exciting despite all of the various |
12844s | looks that drainers came out with we |
12846s | understand now fully that no matter what |
12848s | you throw at Washington Timeless they |
12850s | have an answer for it and answer is just |
12851s | be better at this Sigma |
12854s | composition that's really all it is yeah |
12856s | simp just simply play better simply win |
12858s | the game and that's it that's really all |
12862s | there is to it I mean sniper is so good |
12863s | on this Sigma bun has been so great with |
12866s | all of these May walls that like do you |
12868s | really even want to try anything else |
12870s | you have like someone has to make them |
12873s | swap off of that composition someone has |
12874s | to force them off that metac composition |
12876s | and so far no one's been able to and we |
12879s | talk about you know again that match up |
12880s | with drainer |
12881s | and how I talked about the Triad you |
12883s | know drainers valali and Guardians |
12885s | Washington Timeless those are the three |
12887s | favorites that I can see if neither of |
12889s | them are capable of even taking a map |
12892s | off of Washington Timeless who can I |
12895s | don't know if anyone can right now |
12896s | that's the honest truth and I think also |
12898s | if you're watching time as you're |
12899s | looking at this and you're like this is |
12900s | exactly what we want this is the exact |
12902s | same three Maps we literally just beat |
12904s | drainers on and again like two of those |
12906s | picks were drainers the last two Midtown |
12908s | and Sasa V Guardians have fallen into |
12910s | the ex axing trap now we did see drers |
12913s | run a very different composition they |
12914s | running the junker Queen they running |
12915s | the Ry but regardless of the result it's |
12918s | been the same old same old I do see HG |
12920s | going for this symmetra early on this |
12922s | might just be to teleport out of Spawn |
12924s | it might be that they try to set up the |
12925s | point on this they might try to use |
12927s | those turrets to force some fights but |
12928s | no that's stop it's going to be the |
12929s | Genji actually so finally a little bit |
12931s | of variety no May for HQ we'll see if |
12934s | this can be the Difference Maker maybe |
12936s | what gives them the edge to finally take |
12939s | a map away from Washington timeless you |
12941s | you have to hope right I mean like valy |
12943s | and Guardians they're already going to |
12944s | try and take control over the point this |
12945s | should give hkey a good opportunity to |
12947s | hit a big Dash and when she sees the |
12949s | opportunity as they come through the |
12951s | choke here but it also makes it a lot |
12953s | more difficult for moving fish to try |
12954s | and win out this duel when you don't |
12956s | have the aid of the main to try and you |
12959s | know cut off the Enemy at the pass here |
12961s | Carol has to try and cut some uh some |
12963s | players off at the pass with some boobs |
12964s | there to keep them off the point theyve |
12965s | watched them Timeless have started their |
12967s | March forward they've already lost the |
12969s | immortality field though and without |
12971s | that in their toolbx that March is going |
12973s | to slow down to a soft a brisk walk |
12976s | maybe is they just kind of chill out |
12978s | around the corner for a second Chloe |
12979s | gets a little bit too aggressive there |
12981s | that's a great Dash there but the |
12982s | healing is there sosler does inevitably |
12984s | fall Val and Guardians take the first |
12986s | cap here and waston Tyles have already |
12988s | invested the amp Matrix and for that |
12990s | they are going to get Caro that's pretty |
12992s | difficult to uh pretty difficult to hold |
12994s | without Lucio here was and Timeless are |
12997s | once again going to bend and snap back |
12999s | but actually going to take it a little |
13000s | bit slow here they're going to mirror |
13003s | not a mirror actually they've now |
13004s | swapped off of the Bastion they don't |
13006s | want those bullets to be deflected back |
13007s | by the enemy Genji but it's going to be |
13009s | the soin as well so finally some |
13011s | variation in this comp but immediately |
13012s | snaz is going to make a difference and |
13014s | whisp is going to fall Armory he has to |
13016s | pop that ant Matrix but everyone just |
13017s | goes around it and they're all in her |
13019s | face right now and there's not enough |
13021s | punish there sniper goes Super |
13022s | aggressive aramori Falls there's not |
13024s | enough healing to sustain moving fish |
13026s | for all that much longer and they are |
13028s | going to fall Washington Timeless I mean |
13031s | off a great snap swap there from snaz |
13033s | they're able to just March right in and |
13034s | flip the point there's nothing that |
13036s | feels worse as a Baptist and putting |
13037s | your ultimate down and just having the |
13039s | enemy team walk through it say we don't |
13040s | even care and then there's just nothing |
13042s | that can protect you aore got dis placed |
13045s | knocked out The High Ground tried to get |
13046s | back up immediately got followed up on |
13048s | and from there Val Guardians they end up |
13050s | losing that the good news is they have |
13052s | everything except for that amplication |
13053s | Matrix ready to go but the most |
13055s | important ultimate potentially is Haley |
13057s | sound barrier that could counter so much |
13059s | of what Val Guardians will try to do as |
13060s | they reengage here looks like Carol |
13062s | might be forced to pop the sound barrier |
13064s | here it's actually holding on to a |
13065s | diamond hands just that immortality |
13067s | field to try and keep everybody alive |
13069s | now Haley going to go ahead and pop hers |
13070s | Caro going to follow as well as the |
13072s | gravitic flux comes out from moving fish |
13074s | but there is no death on either side |
13076s | from it and now the ant major coming out |
13078s | from zman it's going to slow valy and |
13081s | Guardians down HQ invest the blade and |
13082s | gets noler forward but not much else the |
13085s | blade gets shut down the Anri from zman |
13087s | is so clutched there and Washington |
13089s | Timeless look primed to hold here Chloe |
13092s | has a blade of her own if she decides |
13093s | she needs it but that would just be the |
13095s | death nail at this point and it might |
13097s | not even be necessary as all Washington |
13099s | Timeless have to do is bleed out time |
13101s | bleed out the bodies and suddenly there |
13104s | are no more bodies to contest bun is |
13107s | just absolutely one of the best |
13109s | projectile players I've ever had the |
13110s | pleasure of casting I I'm I'm going to |
13112s | say it here I've casted all levels of |
13114s | play by bun absolutely amazes me every |
13116s | time the main plays have been astounding |
13117s | but this Genji these swaps from |
13119s | Washington timeless Game Changer they |
13121s | see how they lost they immediately make |
13123s | the adjustment and they don't even need |
13124s | the blade there but the constant slicing |
13126s | and dicing so much extra damage that |
13128s | helps everyone from Washington Timeless |
13130s | finish off the rest of valiant Guardians |
13132s | and the fact that they get a retake and |
13134s | a first point capture after giving up |
13136s | almost 70% initially amazing turnaround |
13139s | a retake a first point capture and they |
13141s | have two DPS ultimates and nearly |
13142s | another gravitic flux going into the |
13144s | second Point here and they have control |
13146s | over it and they have hq's head on a |
13147s | pike right now so Washington Timeless |
13149s | they got everything they can possibly |
13151s | want what do you get for the team that |
13152s | has everything aramore going to give |
13154s | them an ant Matrix but it looks like |
13155s | they kept the gift receipt as they don't |
13157s | want any of it they just you know sit |
13159s | pretty on the point they don't have to |
13160s | face check that yeah they hit the return |
13163s | but this grav it doesn't hit any oh the |
13166s | gravic flux from moving fish just |
13167s | completely whiffs and sure they take |
13169s | down snor there the the accre to try and |
13172s | stop snipers gravitic flux whiffs as |
13174s | well and typically wi sniper Pops that |
13176s | ant M or Pops that gratic flux death |
13178s | will follow KO with the sound barrier to |
13181s | try and prevent that as chlo pops the |
13182s | blade a sound barrier to follow as well |
13184s | coming out from Haley and Valiant |
13186s | Guardians have now run the coffers |
13188s | completely dry they don't have any more |
13189s | tools to try and crack this and there's |
13191s | still an amp Matrix for the side of |
13193s | Washington Timeless if Zan decides to |
13194s | pop it but will they even need it I mean |
13197s | Washington timel once again can just |
13199s | bleed out time play the clock play the |
13201s | angles force valali and Guardians to |
13203s | make a mistake aramori has an an of her |
13205s | own but Zan going to goad and pop theirs |
13207s | and Haley's going to fall whisp with a |
13209s | huge head shot there Suddenly It's |
13211s | Washington Timeless on the back foot as |
13213s | Valiant Guardians are in the driver's |
13214s | seat they can go aggressive and |
13216s | Washington Timeless they're just keeping |
13218s | their feet on the point to try and build |
13219s | up more percentage bleed out more time |
13221s | but the flip will inevitably come |
13223s | through once they deal with Chloe here |
13225s | and yeah she's dispatched finally |
13227s | Valiant Guardians get themselves in sign |
13230s | of life but immediately sniper answers |
13232s | back is this going to be what we've seen |
13233s | so many times where it feels like Valley |
13235s | Guardian should win this out when they |
13237s | have the numbers advantage and then they |
13238s | just go too far forward they just don't |
13240s | have have the numbers and the places |
13241s | that they need them to be so far so good |
13244s | the blade going to be used Now by HP it |
13246s | has not found anything but there it is a |
13248s | double but Chloe's able to trade it out |
13251s | I I I mean that's great that they're |
13252s | able to trade it out there but I mean |
13254s | Valiant Guardians they still got way |
13255s | more than they could have bargained for |
13256s | both backliners for a blade you take |
13258s | that every day of the week and that's |
13260s | going to help them take up the |
13261s | percentage to hopefully match the 90% |
13262s | advantage that Washington Timeless |
13264s | currently have absolutely and the fact |
13266s | that they're finally getting some time |
13267s | is huge this could actually be last |
13269s | fight territory if Guardians can close |
13271s | this out they should be able to take |
13272s | this point snipers already got another |
13273s | gravitic flux and they might be looking |
13275s | to use it if they even need it there's |
13276s | that immortality field and with that |
13277s | already out huge accretion from moving |
13279s | fish to shut it down no deaths to on |
13281s | this on this day gallan Guardians |
13284s | they're able to weather the storm whis |
13285s | comes back with the overclock looking |
13287s | for a head to shoot with it ant mrix |
13289s | comes out so they're going to all want |
13290s | to back out here as valali and Guardians |
13292s | they get this into overtime sniper Falls |
13295s | though KO it's traded out of support for |
13297s | a tank I think this favors Valiant |
13299s | guardians but it puts a lot of weight on |
13300s | aror shoulders here comes that citic |
13302s | flux from moving fish and that is going |
13304s | to be Valiant Guardians taking the point |
13307s | here on svasa putting us at 1 signs of |
13310s | life and this is the time to show it we |
13312s | talked about before do or die in this |
13314s | series you lose this it's down flow |
13315s | where Brack you don't want to give this |
13317s | team anything more than watching |
13319s | Timeless already is gotten not only that |
13321s | but again the Flawless run could come to |
13323s | an end here if Val Guardians can pull |
13324s | this out and force a map for alt Banks |
13327s | basically reset except for washing |
13328s | Timeless we have two almost ready to |
13330s | goore does almost have that amrix |
13333s | themselves we've seen this before it's |
13334s | not the smartest idea to try to fight |
13336s | Washington Timeless off the point ant |
13339s | Matrix comes out snaza returning in kind |
13341s | with an overclock and it seems pretty |
13343s | bloodless just a couple of lamps being |
13344s | shut down like a college frat party |
13346s | there but HQ goes way too deep actually |
13349s | snaz going to go ahead and take her down |
13351s | and Val and Guardians they got a little |
13353s | too aggressive there looks like T |
13355s | Wasington thus are going to win this |
13356s | fight but hey nobody was fighting |
13358s | anywhere near the point so s just just |
13360s | going to go ahead and make the TR over |
13362s | start ticking the cap up don't know what |
13364s | kind of parties you're going to in col |
13366s | but lamp's definitely broken all over |
13368s | the place and Washington Timeless do |
13370s | come out on top once more we saw this of |
13372s | trainers where they tried to fight |
13373s | Washington Timeless off the point it |
13374s | seems like that's where washingt thess |
13376s | are in their Zone they always seem to |
13377s | win these fights that are kind of in the |
13379s | middle of the map before the P Point |
13381s | actually unlocks they've gotten it |
13383s | already but now it's going to be vant |
13384s | Guardians re-engaging a great block on |
13386s | the accretion there from moving fish and |
13388s | Washington Timeless despite being |
13390s | control of the point have to try and |
13392s | play safe because you can see wisps has |
13394s | the angle here and moving fish playing |
13396s | so far forward it's going to be so |
13398s | difficult for anyone to try and shut |
13399s | wisps down is anyone even going to be |
13402s | able to HQ also does have the blade as |
13404s | well so that might be another tool Zan |
13406s | going to go ahead and pop the ant Matrix |
13408s | and that's going to force valali and |
13409s | Guardians to scatter just like the |
13411s | remains of wisp the sosler with a rail |
13413s | shot right through it Washington |
13415s | Timeless should be holding on strong |
13416s | here but that fight took so long to kick |
13418s | up that Washington Timeless are already |
13420s | in one fight territory for this point |
13422s | that might be the point in general I I |
13423s | think that might be it especially with |
13424s | the Stagger onto the Baptist that is |
13428s | that is so detrimental Val Guardians |
13430s | they had ultimates to use but they took |
13431s | so long in positioning they took so long |
13433s | in setting up they never actually got to |
13435s | engage first and there it is Washington |
13437s | Timeless one flash point away from |
13439s | punching their ticket to the Grand |
13440s | finals everything is going their way and |
13443s | sure B Guardians they will have an |
13445s | entire Al bank but Washington Timeless |
13447s | they still have the sound barrier which |
13448s | cancels most what value are going to |
13450s | want to do they have to play the smart |
13453s | and they have to also not invest |
13454s | everything they have to have ultimates |
13455s | left over for later we've seen them use |
13457s | all five and then lose fights they |
13459s | cannot do that they can't use all five |
13461s | in general even if they win the fight |
13462s | they have to have a healthy Al economy |
13464s | going forward because they lose this |
13465s | flash point and it is done this series |
13467s | is over if the fireworks really kick off |
13470s | and it all comes down to it it might |
13471s | come down to wisp with the overclock |
13473s | there but sniper going to open things up |
13474s | with the gravitic flux the immortality |
13475s | field from Armory is good and she's also |
13478s | going to go ahead and Pop That ant |
13479s | Matrix and whisp going to go ahead and |
13480s | take down Chloe and this is valy and |
13482s | Guardians this is value this is an |
13484s | economy they are winning this fight and |
13485s | taking this point with only one ultimate |
13488s | yeah it's huge and they're also getting |
13490s | some saggers as well something that's |
13491s | been done to them quite a bit throughout |
13493s | this map finally they get the first cap |
13495s | they keep all those uls except for the |
13497s | an Matrix which is always kind of it's |
13499s | like it's pretty easy to charge up |
13500s | anyway so no big deal that is the most |
13504s | elegant and perfect fight that you could |
13505s | see from Valiant Guardians that's |
13506s | exactly what they needed here and it's |
13509s | the highest value ultimate |
13510s | snipers gratic flux that has won them so |
13512s | many fights that just gets completely |
13513s | snuffed out by aramori that is a great |
13515s | play from her and to only use that ant |
13517s | Matrix to win the fight means that now |
13519s | Valiant Guardians have an Al rotation |
13521s | starting with a gravitic flux of their |
13522s | own both so's going to go Ahad and pop |
13524s | the overclock here with the sound |
13526s | barriers going to make sure that |
13527s | everybody is staying nice and cool there |
13530s | boing fish is under a lot of pressure |
13531s | right now that's going to force Chloe to |
13533s | pop the blade to try impr press the |
13534s | advantage but she's not getting a whole |
13535s | lot moving fish pops gravitic flux takes |
13538s | down sniper again and this looks like |
13540s | like it's Valiant Guardian fight to win |
13542s | looks like it's their point to win too |
13543s | but ant Matrix going to be used at the |
13546s | very end still three members left now |
13548s | they flipped the point in all this chaos |
13550s | which okay sure why not the objective |
13554s | and there's no recontest yet Val gr have |
13555s | not tried to retake it I think there's I |
13557s | think chlo is just in the backline being |
13559s | an absolute Menace and no one has been |
13561s | able to take them down how do they keep |
13563s | doing this I I mean they have to try and |
13565s | deal with that backline threat and move |
13567s | forward all they need to do is win this |
13568s | fight and get the retake though but that |
13570s | is easier said than done Carol with a |
13572s | nice pick off there onto Chloe the |
13573s | backline threat has finally been dealt |
13575s | with as has sosler and Bal and Guardians |
13577s | should be able to get back in here I |
13580s | they have to deal with sniper on the |
13581s | doomfist here but with their composition |
13583s | it should be academic I mean yeah they |
13584s | take down Haley they take down Z man and |
13587s | valy and Guardians they do get the point |
13589s | but that was sloppy oh that was so close |
13592s | you thought Washington Timeless might be |
13593s | able to do it again but no they cannot |
13596s | win those incredible fights out and now |
13597s | we are going to our fifth and Final |
13599s | Flash Point valant Guardians are pushing |
13601s | Washington Timeless to the brink just |
13603s | again just like they did on M Midtown |
13605s | but can they finally finally find the |
13607s | edge they need can they finally take a |
13609s | map off of Washington Timeless a feat |
13611s | that no one has been able to do in this |
13612s | tournament so far Valiant Guardians they |
13615s | have the advantage in the one ultimate |
13616s | that I think matters the most right now |
13618s | and that's Caro's sound barrier he can |
13620s | hold on to that until snaza or kloe |
13622s | build up to any of their DPS ALS and use |
13624s | it to weather the storm it has to be |
13625s | used wisely though if Caro Falls or if |
13628s | someone Falls and doesn't get the sound |
13629s | barrier might be all over and waston |
13632s | Timeless could get first cap there Val |
13634s | Guardians are just kind of coralled into |
13636s | this little area here and they can't |
13638s | really get their feet on the point |
13639s | they're going to rotate around to try |
13641s | and contest and Wasing Timeless nearly |
13643s | snake it out from underneath them HQ |
13645s | looking for an angle there but whisps |
13646s | gets caught out by Chloe sound barrier |
13648s | comes out from Caro Haley was able to |
13650s | build up to her so now it is mirrored |
13652s | and Valley and Guardians are once again |
13654s | behind the eightball here sniper though |
13656s | behind the team and gets caught out |
13658s | overclock forced out from sosler and |
13660s | that is catastrophic I mean yeah |
13662s | Washington Timeless they're going to be |
13663s | able to find it but they had to invest |
13664s | so much more heavily than they would |
13666s | have yeah absolutely I will say it's a |
13668s | great play that they made where they |
13669s | force members of valant Guardians to go |
13671s | to the point and then when they saw that |
13673s | they were finally being contested for |
13675s | that capture that's when they went and |
13676s | they all engaged and everyone that was |
13677s | still high ground but it was expensive |
13680s | on both sides it comes out a little bit |
13681s | better for Washington ESS because they |
13682s | will have the GIC flux they'll have |
13684s | three ultimates to Guardians well |
13686s | actually they'll have three as well so |
13687s | if it feels like all things are even |
13689s | when all things are setting done but I I |
13691s | have to get the edge a little bit to |
13693s | viant Guardians they have both DPS |
13694s | ultimates they can do so much more |
13695s | damage right now this have to be quicker |
13697s | on the draw they have to execute quickly |
13699s | and they are starting to run out of time |
13700s | it's already 60% on this final flash |
13702s | point I wanted to see moving fish go |
13704s | aggressive with the gravitic flux but it |
13705s | looks like the blade is actually going |
13706s | to be what comes out first but moving |
13708s | fish gets taken down and the rail shot |
13710s | from snor on H shuts the Dragon Blade |
13712s | down and that might have just been it |
13713s | that might have been the death nail |
13715s | there's only one more chance for anyone |
13717s | to touch and sniper wants to Snuff that |
13718s | out a gravitic FL BL to whiffs can |
13721s | anybody touch we're at 88% HQ swaps over |
13724s | onto the Tracer but Chloe going to try |
13727s | and cut her off at the pass pops the |
13728s | Dragon Blade and there is no way in |
13730s | Carol Falls nobody can touch and it was |
13733s | so close Valiant Guardians had it in the |
13735s | palm of their hands but Washington |
13737s | Timeless pull it right out from under |
13740s | them once again winning fights they have |
13742s | no business winning finding the picks |
13743s | they have no business finding but still |
13746s | staying Flawless it's all about the |
13749s | ruthless aggression and every time that |
13751s | Washington Timeless was able to show it |
13753s | and execute the way they wanted to V |
13755s | Guardians had no answers they had the |
13756s | ultimates but they didn't have the |
13758s | initial drive to do it they didn't |
13760s | execute quickly enough they didn't press |
13762s | Q first and this is what happens when |
13764s | you don't do that you lose it's |
13767s | heartbreaking it was so close on these |
13769s | last few Maps D Guardians had a chance |
13771s | to win Midtown they had a chance to win |
13772s | out on Sasa and force the M for stop |
13775s | Washington Timeless from being these |
13777s | menaces that they have stop them from |
13779s | having could be potentially the perfect |
13781s | tournament run they have yet to drop a |
13783s | map they still have yet to drop a map |
13785s | and again we've said it so many times is |
13787s | it enough it is not enough at the end of |
13790s | the day and now valant Guardians are |
13792s | going to have to go back to the drawing |
13793s | board in the lower bracket I I don't |
13795s | know if either of the teams actually |
13797s | realized how close that was when I was |
13799s | saying what I wanted to see I wanted to |
13801s | see moving fish go aggressive with that |
13803s | gravitic flux that because they had one |
13805s | and sniper did not but that window |
13807s | rapidly closed as valali and Guardians |
13809s | approach sniper did enough damage to |
13811s | build up to one of theirs and the plan I |
13813s | think was to try and go in with that |
13815s | Dragon Blade but while they were trying |
13817s | to set up for that moving fish just |
13819s | collapsed you know the the all the |
13821s | damage that came up from the amp Matrix |
13822s | just melted the enemy Sigma down and |
13824s | suddenly there was just no more win |
13826s | condition both of the two win conditions |
13828s | the gravitic flux and the Dragon Blade |
13829s | got quickly wiped off the field taken |
13831s | off the board and washon Timeless no |
13833s | longer had to sweat had had moving fish |
13836s | pulled the trigger on that gravitic flux |
13838s | maybe in conjunction with with the blade |
13840s | and that might have been what they were |
13841s | trying to do waiting for HQ to get into |
13842s | position to let that combo rip that |
13845s | might have been the win for Valiant |
13846s | Guardians it's just a quick like a split |
13849s | second decision and that Split Second |
13851s | that moving fish trips over the last |
13854s | hurdle that hkey gets DEC capitated at |
13856s | the last possible second that ends up |
13858s | pulling it back in Washington timeless' |
13860s | favor again when they have no business |
13862s | winning the fights they find the fight |
13864s | win should have would have Coulda is the |
13867s | name of the game here unfortunately for |
13869s | Valiant Guardians so close but I think |
13871s | we see the deaths per 10 and I think |
13872s | that's a huge factor of what happened |
13875s | here at the end of this map it was the |
13876s | Genji pick originally from hke but it |
13878s | seems like when they tried to go in they |
13880s | were usually being found out that blade |
13881s | at the end it could have been their |
13883s | Saving Grace but like you said the rest |
13884s | of the team kind of fell apart while |
13886s | they're trying to set up for that the |
13888s | execution just was not quick enough and |
13890s | that is these micro decisions these |
13893s | moments were takes us a little bit too |
13894s | long to get in the position that you |
13895s | want to get into the place you want to |
13897s | be where you actually are able to use |
13898s | these ultimates they just could not sit |
13900s | up the way they wanted to and this is |
13902s | what happens to the lower bracket they |
13904s | go I mean yeah to the lower bracket they |
13906s | go like you said it's nothing to lose |
13908s | your head over unless you're HP trying |
13910s | to pop a dragon blade in front of snoer |
13911s | who will take your head off with a rail |
13914s | shot it's I mean it was a brutal |
13916s | shutdown you know if when you go all in |
13919s | with a dragon blade like that and it |
13920s | gets shut down it is brutal it feels |
13922s | crushing and that has to feel very |
13925s | crushing for Valiant guardians but like |
13926s | I said I don't know if they know or if |
13928s | Washington timeless even know how close |
13931s | that actually was maybe they do if the |
13932s | old tracking was there maybe they |
13934s | understood their win condition a little |
13936s | bit better which would be on par with |
13938s | you know what we've seen so far I mean |
13940s | Midtown was like all over the place but |
13941s | again Washington Timeless they |
13943s | understand their wi conditions and they |
13944s | execute them and that is what it all |
13946s | comes down to at the end of the day and |
13948s | that still leaves us with the question |
13950s | can anybody stop Washington Timeless |
13952s | we've seen two of the best in all of |
13954s | calling all heroes step up today to try |
13956s | and take a crack at it but no one has no |
13960s | one's even made them made them sweat if |
13962s | you come at the king you best not miss |
13964s | and these two teams these two greats |
13965s | drainers and Valiant Guardians back to |
13967s | back they missed it they grazed them |
13970s | kind of a little bit I don't even know |
13973s | if like again watching time must know |
13974s | how close it came but they |
13977s | missed they did indeed and we're going |
13979s | to have some of those questions answered |
13980s | I think I know what the answer is anyway |
13982s | from Washington Timeless on if anyone |
13983s | can do anything against them but we're |
13985s | going to have some other questions for a |
13986s | member from their team in just a few |
13988s | moments D we're take a quick break |
13990s | before the interview but after we're |
13991s | going to be talking to a |
13995s | [Music] |
14018s | member |
14028s | [Music] |

14180s | welcome back everybody we are witnessing |
14183s | potentially one of the most insane upper |
14185s | bracket tournament runs of all time |
14187s | courtesy of Washington timeless it feels |
14189s | like it makes no sense like it shouldn't |
14190s | be happening but here to make a little |
14192s | bit of sense of it we've got Z coming in |
14194s | from Washington timel Z how are you |
14196s | doing uh pretty good some nice wins to |
14199s | today so feeling good about our |
14201s | performance I you definitely should be |
14203s | be feeling pretty good about your |
14204s | performance not just today but across |
14206s | the entire tourament you are now in |
14208s | Grand finals without dropping a single |
14211s | map I want to ask you I think I know the |
14213s | answer but I want to hear it from you is |
14215s | a full golden tournament |
14217s | possible uh yeah for sure I think that I |
14221s | mean we don't really like think about it |
14223s | too much in the game but we know what |
14225s | the expectations are for our team uh we |
14228s | just really hard and we don't really |
14230s | have any holes when it comes to our |
14231s | players like we have strong players in |
14233s | every R so it's very easy to fall back |
14236s | on yeah no holes to be seen whatsoever |
14239s | the game blend has been Flawless so far |
14240s | but I will say Valiant Guardians |
14242s | definitely tested you a bit today there |
14243s | were some very close calls I want to |
14245s | talk about Midtown in that final fight |
14247s | on your attack came down to a buzzer |
14249s | beater you had a very clutch ant Matrix |
14251s | that helped keep your team in it how are |
14253s | you as a team able to pull out that |
14255s | Victory uh honestly like I said we just |
14258s | have good play players in every role and |
14260s | we I don't really feel like we have any |
14262s | nerves we're all pretty experienced |
14263s | players so even when it gets down to |
14265s | those final fight situations uh we kind |
14267s | of lock in a little bit more to be |
14269s | honest and so we just start calling a |
14271s | little bit more and listen to each other |
14274s | and we're good enough players that we |
14275s | can pull it through |
14276s | usually the ability to lock in in some |
14279s | of those tough moments and being able to |
14280s | weather the storm is something that |
14281s | definitely shows in your guys's team |
14284s | play it feels like you guys all play off |
14285s | of each other so so well especially in |
14288s | the sigma compositions which seems to be |
14291s | your bread and butter so far but I want |
14292s | to know do you guys have any other looks |
14294s | that we haven't seen that maybe you're |
14296s | just saving for a rainy |
14297s | day yeah I mean if for whatever reason |
14300s | our Sigma comp is really struggling like |
14303s | uh we'll make small adjustments to it |
14305s | like you saw on uh Sasa we swapped off |
14309s | the Bastion and went on like Genji so |
14311s | but we can play other stuff for sure |
14314s | like sniper can play a bunch of |
14316s | characters and a lot of the cops are |
14318s | just pretty intrinsic at this level so |
14321s | uh we can definitely play whatever we |
14323s | need |
14324s | to well you're about to be playing in |
14326s | the grand finals no matter what you've |
14328s | locked in your spot your second |
14330s | back-to-back Grand finals as a team I |
14332s | got to ask who are you expecting to be |
14333s | meeting there uh I feel like definitely |
14336s | the Guardians uh Val Guardians push us |
14339s | the most and I feel like when they're |
14341s | playing well they're probably the best |
14343s | team to play |
14345s | against it it it definitely feels like |
14347s | they push you but I I mean again not |
14349s | even enough to take a map off of you and |
14351s | with how well you guys have been playing |
14353s | and the fact that you are now in Grand |
14355s | finals you have definitely earned a fair |
14357s | bit of congratulations for that you've |
14359s | also earned yourself the floor which I |
14361s | will give to you to answer these two |
14363s | questions first of all how does it feel |
14366s | to be here in calling all heroes and be |
14368s | in the grand finals at this point and do |
14370s | you have any shoutouts you want to give |
14372s | any last words that you want to say the |
14374s | floor is yours take it away uh it's |
14377s | really cool to be in calling all heroes |
14379s | it's a nice environment and playing |
14381s | around a bunch of new people making new |
14383s | friends and connections is always fun |
14385s | and uh having a nice bit of competition |
14387s | is uh always a good time so I'm really |
14389s | enjoying myself and I just like to thank |
14392s | my parents and friends for always |
14393s | supporting me they're the |
14397s | best love to hear it thank you so much |
14400s | to Z for coming in what a great |
14401s | interview what a great performance that |
14403s | we've seen from Washington Timeless and |
14405s | they are not quite done if you want to |
14407s | see how their story ends |
14409s | you're going to have to tune in tomorrow |
14411s | but today we've had a lot of great |
14413s | matches unfortunately for Jag we did not |
14415s | get to see a map four I I know how badly |
14417s | you want I wanted one too like like like |
14420s | I've been right here with you for most |
14421s | of it but I like for your sake cuz I |
14425s | know that it's just like you're you're |
14426s | not going to be here tomorrow and I I am |
14429s | so I I wanted to give that to you I |
14430s | wanted that you to be there to see it |
14432s | but how unfortunate uh but you know we |
14435s | still had a lot of great maps I mean or |
14437s | a lot of great matches I mean we can |
14438s | take a look at at the bracket really |
14439s | quick to see how things have shaken out |
14441s | thus far and see what tomorrow might be |
14444s | looking like yeah I think the biggest |
14446s | thing is Jerry nightmare officially has |
14448s | been eliminated that number two seed we |
14450s | had asked if they had been tested enough |
14452s | the answer is not quite as they end up |
14454s | falling in that first round of Vancouver |
14456s | Titans blue they do get the win over Aus |
14458s | but then immediately fall to drainers or |
14460s | drainers looking like they could still |
14462s | be that top three team that you have |
14463s | mentioned quite a few times I think the |
14465s | biggest question now is Vancouver Titans |
14467s | blue versus bearclaw who's able come out |
14469s | on top of that Force themselves into |
14471s | lower semi-finals and then eventually |
14472s | the lower finals against Valiant |
14474s | Guardians we don't really know where the |
14475s | score is for that one so as anyone's |
14477s | guess we talked about Vancouver Titans L |
14479s | and how much we want them to break |
14480s | through that threshold of fifth through |
14482s | six that's where they are I believe |
14484s | right now if they win this next one they |
14485s | could break into top four then maybe |
14487s | even top three so still plenty of run |
14489s | for them left potentially if they can |
14490s | win this one out yeah that is definitely |
14493s | going to be one to keep an eye on I mean |
14495s | I I'm also a little disappointed to see |
14496s | that the likes of fable and Aegis have |
14498s | have both been eliminated I mean those |
14500s | are some great story lines and some |
14502s | great underl Underdog Story lines some |
14504s | great players on those teams that I |
14507s | would have liked to see more from and |
14508s | it's a shame that we're not going to get |
14509s | to at this point in time but have a look |
14512s | over towards the right side of the |
14513s | bracket where things are trending of |
14514s | course we've got Washington Timeless but |
14516s | have a look at the other two teams that |
14518s | have locked in their positions right now |
14521s | it's that try out again it's that same |
14523s | top three and there may be one more to |
14525s | join them but I mean the podium scene |
14528s | for the most part |
14530s | entirely entirely shaped up it's really |
14534s | I think it's really be claw like can |
14535s | they have this upset uh it looks like we |
14537s | just actually saw that Vancouver T blue |
14538s | is up two zero I'm not sure if that was |
14540s | just updated or I just missed it before |
14541s | but they are one away from sweeping so |
14544s | uh we could have that top four |
14546s | established in just a few moments which |
14547s | personally with how Vancouver Titans |
14549s | blue was playing today earlier what we |
14550s | saw I would not be surprised so that |
14552s | definitely that feels like the top four |
14553s | teams that we have here and then it'll |
14555s | just be a battle to see who can go up |
14556s | against Washington Timeless and maybe |
14558s | take a map off with them in the grand |
14559s | finals I mean it seems all the likely |
14562s | that it will be either drainers or |
14564s | Valiant Guardians having to take another |
14566s | step up maybe third time will be the |
14568s | charm for one of those teams or maybe it |
14570s | will be bearclaw maybe it will be |
14571s | Vancouver Titans blue making a miracle |
14573s | lower bracket run a surprise that we |
14575s | never saw coming a hjo spark of sorts if |
14577s | we want to allude back to the Grand |
14579s | finals that happened in Toronto this |
14582s | past uh a couple weeks ago at this point |
14584s | it feels like yesterday to me still but |
14586s | a couple weeks ago but speaking of thank |
14588s | you very much to Toronto defiant for |
14590s | hosting this today it's been a |
14592s | phenomenal day of games but we got |
14594s | another day left to come with all of |
14596s | those games that we saw all the ones we |
14598s | alluded to on the lower end of the sorry |
14600s | on the uh the right hand side of the |
14601s | bracket there the Deep runs from all |
14603s | these teams we've got all that and more |
