1174s | a huge achievement on its own not to |

1178s | prize pool on itself coming away with |
1181s | that Championship Victory say that you |
1183s | can do it this is their chance to get |
1185s | that first place for |

1193s | people that have ever doubted that in |
1194s | this |
1197s | tournament with the Tracer alone she has |
1200s | to try to keep this one up especially |
1202s | now that the Sal going on out but keeps |
1204s | gessi alive and allows the r to come |
1206s | through the mering rims on and Ki never |
1210s | ever give up that's so much |

1254s | for long with on now i' like to see wow |
1259s | oh my goodness wow down to what once |
1261s | again now without the Blass the racer |

1267s | pressure out Kindred and they just get |
1269s | melted there needs to be some way for |
1271s | them to keep on to only the players are |
1273s | falling one by |
1276s | [Applause] |
1283s | [Music] |
1287s | one |
1290s | [Music] |
1298s | it is the culmination of a Year's worth |
1301s | of passion and hard work from staff |
1304s | Talent players alike but mostly today |
1307s | the players who have put their Heart and |
1309s | souls into today to earn the title |
1312s | calling all heroes Champions welcome |
1315s | everybody my name is CB we are uh we're |
1318s | here we've done it an entire year to get |
1320s | here to the calling all heroes |
1322s | championships and we have four teams |
1324s | left buying for the opportunity to win |
1327s | that Tracer Corgi statue a little bit of |
1329s | bad news chat Ash our usual host is uh |
1332s | dealing with some technical difficulties |
1333s | so you're stuck with me but the good |
1335s | news is you're not stuck with me alone I |
1337s | am joined by our lovely casters for the |
1339s | top half of today Dogman and Moxy how |
1342s | are you guys feeling |
1343s | today good yeah good St good stuff that |
1346s | was awesome that that was actually sick |
1348s | I mean considering you know how short a |
1350s | time you had to work with congrat that |
1351s | was awesome and you're right I think |
1353s | that Corgi statue is sick I mean myself |
1356s | and Moxy and you I know have been |
1357s | talking about that bad boy for a while |
1360s | I'm jealous of whoever wins this thing |
1362s | they're lucky we're working remoor I |
1363s | would snag |
1365s | one I would 100% be right there with you |
1368s | pulling off that high CV it is all on |
1371s | the line like you've said so much has |
1373s | built up to this as well so many of |
1375s | these teams working so hard throughout |
1377s | all of the year so many many different |
1378s | metas picking up different players |
1380s | molding them to where they are as we can |
1383s | have a look and see that last previous |
1385s | circuit and a lot of it was dominated by |
1388s | one name and that has been Timeless |
1392s | these guys are an absolute chaut in the |
1395s | cah circuit and I mean potentially we |
1398s | could even see a Timeless versus |
1400s | Timeless Grand Final it's going to be a |
1402s | little bit harder to pull off I think |
1404s | especially given the fact that slal are |
1405s | currently in the lower bracket but a IAL |
1409s | judging from the performance yesterday |
1411s | looking exceptionally strong I I mean |
1413s | Timeless as a whole has kind of been |
1415s | like this North American Dynasty as of |
1417s | late and they were so strong in calling |
1419s | all heroes that they brought out a |
1420s | second team to make it to the final four |
1422s | that's an accomplishment no matter how |
1424s | you look at it it is I mean it's it's |
1427s | this entire team has just had a great |
1431s | branding behind it and it's just overall |
1433s | like just through Timeless ethereal |
1435s | alone doing as well as they have and |
1436s | then Timeless Celestial coming in as |
1438s | well well in doing that kind of being |
1440s | that second team that also performs to a |
1443s | high level I mean top four is definitely |
1444s | nothing to scoff at although like Moxy |
1446s | said they do have to make that lower |
1448s | bracket run and it is a bit more |
1450s | difficult and she also mentioned how |
1451s | Timeless ethereal has been that kind of |
1453s | number one team for a while I mean so |
1455s | far Michael wave is the only team to |
1456s | take a map off them yeah Michael wave |
1459s | being the only team to take a map off |
1461s | them unfortunately going to be facing |
1462s | Timeless Celestial in our lower bracket |
1465s | run you also saw a highlight up there of |
1467s | the upper bracket where we're going have |
1468s | wisp Embers you mentioned Timeless |
1470s | ethereal being perpetually the number |
1472s | one team it feels like wisp Embers is |
1474s | perpetually the number two team as well |
1476s | so there are some uh some potential |
1478s | usurpers to the Ethereal Throne yeah |
1481s | definitely it feels for whisp Embers |
1483s | like it's the story of never the bride |
1485s | always the brides made and it's going to |
1487s | be really interesting to see how these |
1489s | two teams actually interact with each |
1490s | other because a lot of what aerial does |
1493s | we've also seen whisp do the exact same |
1495s | thing so I'm really looking forward to |
1497s | getting to see that sort of Spider-Man |
1499s | Point meme moment where you've got the |
1501s | sojan setting up with their lucios for |
1503s | that first fight and they both pick the |
1506s | same off angle and it becomes an |
1508s | absolute scrap instead of pressuring the |
1510s | other side of the team you're having to |
1512s | immediately win out their DPS duel |
1514s | before getting to decide and continue |
1516s | pressuring things like that R Matra and |
1518s | that's something we haven't really got |
1519s | to see from either of these two teams |
1521s | right whenever they've had their run in |
1523s | the upper bracket whatever team that |
1524s | they've come up against a lot of the |
1526s | time having that soan off angle has been |
1528s | something they've had solely to |
1530s | themselves so I cannot wait to see that |
1532s | particular interaction go down it's |
1535s | going to be a lot of fun and you know we |
1536s | talk about it a lot how dominant |
1538s | Timeless ethereal has been throughout |
1540s | the entirety of this circuit well the |
1542s | only win that really matters in my |
1543s | estimation is the one that you get when |
1545s | the lights are on the brightest and we |
1546s | got a lot of lumens in the building |
1548s | tonight as well as a lot of cash money |
1551s | on the line for some of these teams have |
1554s | a look at our prizing it's a $20,000 |
1556s | prize pool first place is $1600 awarded |
1560s | to each player wuang Clan said it best |
1563s | cash rules everything around me these |
1565s | teams want that |
1566s | cream they do I mean this team |
1569s | specifically Timeless Celestial you |
1571s | talking about too I mean they've see me |
1572s | they've done they've done so well when |
1574s | those lights are shine brightest right |
1575s | it just seems like even when we talk |
1577s | about it as much as we have been where |
1579s | you know a lot of teams tend to you know |
1580s | either choke under pressure or you know |
1582s | something happens where you can't |
1584s | perform to the highest level maybe you |
1586s | have a player that lags behind it |
1587s | doesn't seem that way at all I mean as |
1589s | Moxy said they control those off angles |
1590s | incredibly well as a unit as a team |
1593s | they're so cohesive and really just move |
1597s | perfectly right it just feels like no |
1598s | matter what they just always pop off |
1600s | individually all five of them and that's |
1602s | going to be the toughest thing for every |
1604s | single one of these other teams to deal |
1605s | with is the ls of Timeless Celestial |
1607s | waiting for them in an upper |
1610s | bracket yeah absolutely and you know |
1612s | we're talking a lot about these like |
1614s | Soldier splits and some of the |
1615s | mechanical ways that these teams want to |
1617s | play and the comps that they're going to |
1618s | be trying to bust out well let's have a |
1620s | quick look at the map Pool and we can |
1621s | kind of see why we're talking so much |
1623s | about these ratra compositions with the |
1625s | soldier and splits because it's very |
1627s | brawl favored across the board kind of |
1629s | facilitates that play style yeah it's so |
1632s | interesting that we talked specifically |
1634s | about two Heroes for that bra and there |
1637s | is a big old name that we do have to |
1640s | throw into the mix as well and that is |
1642s | the May because you're seeing a lot of |
1645s | that Ram Rush come through May's value |
1647s | just Rises exponentially off of a lot of |
1650s | these Maps there's a lot of really hard |
1651s | chokes to be able to control you're able |
1654s | to get up close as well because the |
1656s | matri can go for that Tempo tank player |
1658s | where you have a little bit of poke |
1659s | which favors the serjan build up and |
1661s | then once your seran has ramped up you |
1662s | can go fully in for that commitment and |
1665s | close up the distance so that the May is |
1666s | able to provide that pressure but that's |
1668s | what we started to see these teams move |
1670s | away from the sigma which gets entirely |
1672s | counted by the m to something like the |
1675s | remat that has a little bit more |
1676s | survivability going up against that |
1677s | specific specific hero so a lot of the |
1680s | time we're seeing these teams not |
1681s | actually immediately go and try and |
1683s | pressure the tank they'll still do it to |
1684s | try and bait things like immortality |
1686s | field out but a lot of the time the |
1688s | biggest Target in the lobby is actually |
1691s | the other May and it's something that a |
1693s | lot of these teams in the upper bracket |
1695s | Timeless aerial being one of them who |
1697s | are able to do an exceedingly good job |
1699s | of forcing the mate on the other side |
1701s | into utilizing that ice block before we |
1704s | see the blizzard for blizzard mirror so |
1706s | that when the ultimate comes out from |
1707s | the team they lose the May in the |
1710s | process as opposed to someone like B who |
1712s | still got that cool down is able to hop |
1713s | into that block heal up and still find V |
1715s | with the AL bun has without a doubt been |
1718s | one of if not the best Mays in all of |
1720s | calling all heroes but some other teams |
1722s | May has been a bit of a sticking point4 |
1724s | before we get too into that though I |
1726s | want to have a quick little heart-to- |
1727s | heart with chat chat today is urgent it |
1729s | is the last day for you to get your |
1732s | viewer incentives we got drops and if |
1734s | you ask me these are the best ones that |
1735s | we've ever put out we've got some name |
1737s | cards a and a player icon make sure |
1739s | you're farming those up sticking along |
1741s | with us in chat throughout the entire |
1743s | day not that you'd want to go anywhere |
1745s | anyway cuz the action's going to be just |
1747s | that damn good but you know a little uh |
1749s | a little he and stars name card to |
1751s | sweeten the pot never hurt I didn't |
1754s | think to be honest that I was ever |
1756s | changing my name card from the Llama fed |
1758s | one but the heart in the Stars one has |
1760s | still on my heart quite literally it is |
1762s | my name card now I have moved away from |
1765s | the fluffy llamas in pajamas and it is |
1768s | now proudly displayed for all to see |
1770s | when they look at my profile and see way |
1772s | too many hours of |
1775s | Mercy all right well uh that pretty much |
1778s | does it for our little intro it's time |
1780s | to get back into it we can start talking |
1782s | about the May players we can start |
1783s | talking about all the players we can |
1784s | start talking about our lower semifinal |
1787s | one of these teams is going home right |
1789s | now and it's either Timeless Celestial |
1791s | or it's Michael wave yeah both of these |
1794s | teams in the lower bracket for a reason |
1796s | they've had a couple of struggles time |
1798s | Celestial because they were running that |
1800s | soan Lucio didn't really take advantage |
1802s | of all of the space for some of those |
1804s | maps and got shut down very very quickly |
1806s | by wisp Embers who identified okay this |
1808s | is fre real estate if you're not going |
1810s | to scrap over this space we're |
1812s | absolutely going to take it and take the |
1814s | map as a result they were incredibly |
1816s | aggressive team as well so the fact that |
1818s | they continued to have to turn around |
1820s | Deni them that Avenue of aggression to |
1822s | be able to put themselves into a |
1824s | comfortable position and it was |
1826s | reflected in some of the hesit decision |
1828s | Mak dog man I want to get your thoughts |
1830s | real quick though looking at this roster |
1832s | who has stood out the most to you on |
1834s | this time the celestial Squad you know |
1837s | surprisingly I feel like it's been merer |
1839s | I think mer has been a very very |
1840s | consistent support player for this |
1842s | lineup and and inan fact in support play |
1844s | in all of calling Heroes has been |
1845s | Stellar around the board however I think |
1848s | merer specifically has just been very |
1850s | good with that Co with those coold downs |
1851s | and with the overall rotations alongside |
1853s | their team keeping you know Street alive |
1856s | when they need to be same with snosa and |
1857s | AER right really has been a a major |
1860s | point of this team I think somebody that |
1862s | maybe has to step up a little bit is |
1864s | going to be the likes of azer azire had |
1866s | moments yesterday in that lower bracket |
1868s | run where you know they've had they had |
1871s | extremely pop off moments on the sojourn |
1873s | however today they're going to need to |
1874s | step up yet again against microwave |
1876s | which is definitely no slack in that |
1878s | department either yeah dog man you're |
1881s | talking about uh talking about a team |
1882s | that's got no slack in fact a team |
1884s | that's got that dog in them Michael wave |
1886s | they are heating up and they better I |
1888s | mean they went out in the lower bracket |
1889s | to Timeless ethereal so they're going to |
1891s | want that Revenge match they seem to be |
1893s | like we talked about one of the only |
1894s | teams that have consistently taking it |
1896s | to the best and even at some stages beat |
1899s | them but it hasn't been consistent |
1902s | enough what do they need to do Moxy in |
1903s | order to overpower them and you know |
1905s | make a statement at Celestial expense I |
1908s | think they just need to stick the |
1909s | landing and and that's probably a tough |
1912s | lesson for them to have learned coming |
1914s | out of the upper bracket into the lower |
1916s | bracket yesterday and that's what a lot |
1918s | of these teams are having to find |
1920s | themselves right if you get kick from |
1921s | the upper bracket into lower bracket |
1922s | there's probably a reason now that |
1923s | they've had a day to be able to look |
1925s | back at the vods and think about okay |
1927s | why exactly did Things Fall Apart well |
1929s | it all came down to that last map of |
1932s | push they came out with the doomfest and |
1934s | the Genji composition we've seen this |
1936s | team run consistently in the last major |
1939s | Mari absolutely is a comfort pick on the |
1941s | dmist Zoe loves to be able to play that |
1943s | Genji as often as possible but something |
1945s | that you I and Dustin were talking about |
1947s | before before today actually began is |
1949s | the fact that may coming back into the |
1951s | mattera is just so incredibly |
1952s | problematic for the Genji to be able to |
1954s | find the value and as a result dive just |
1956s | doesn't have the damage necessary to be |
1958s | able to pick up the kills REM mat is too |
1960s | good at self- sustain so if you dive the |
1963s | backline and think okay the supports are |
1965s | looking away this is when we can jump on |
1966s | that tank I hate to tell you that's not |
1969s | how it goes the Baptist keeps everyone |
1971s | healed up when that dive comes through |
1973s | the Lucio has the means to be able to |
1975s | kite out the surgeon's going to be able |
1976s | to one shot your your Genji if the May |
1978s | hasn't already been able to beam him |
1980s | down and even though you've got all of |
1982s | those players all of those Heroes |
1984s | turning away from their tank ratra is |
1986s | still going to be standing exactly why |
1988s | you left them and and and we talk a lot |
1990s | about how good of a Genji player Zoe |
1992s | actually is and like if she can't get it |
1994s | done on Genji then like who can well |
1997s | we're probably not going to see a whole |
1998s | lot of Genji to kick things off we're |
1999s | going to Mesa well not her home she's a |
2002s | Eco Point Antarctic but close we're in |
2003s | the neighborhood we're starting things |
2005s | off on Antarctic Peninsula it's timeless |
2007s | Le Deal's map pick do uh Dogman how you |
2011s | feeling I mean for this map in |
2013s | particular I think it's definitely going |
2015s | to be favoring Timeless Celestial right |
2017s | there's a reason why they picked this |
2018s | map I think Moxy could probably talk |
2020s | about it more than I can where this team |
2022s | just loves Antarctic Peninsula they're |
2023s | just super good on this map in |
2024s | particular and they've also improved at |
2026s | that ratra composition that we saw |
2028s | yesterday um but you know we have to see |
2030s | today can they continue that prowess can |
2032s | they continue improving at that |
2034s | composition because it's so crucial in |
2035s | that upper bracket if they make it there |
2037s | well there is only one way to find out |
2039s | if they make it there and that's by |
2041s | kicking off the action so I'm going to |
2042s | go ahead throw my hands up leave the |
2044s | room and let you two have at it good |
2046s | luck have fun and uh you know |
2049s | enjoy thank you CI I'm sure we will cuz |
2052s | yeah I mean this is going to be a really |
2053s | fun matchup I think so far Moxy I mean |
2056s | like I like we talked about little a |
2057s | little bit of U you know map pick map |
2060s | Choice here Antarctic Peninsula the one |
2061s | that Timeless chooses today why do you |
2064s | think that is I mean in particular like |
2066s | what's the reasoning behind this is the |
2067s | ram rush ram Rush is insanely good here |
2070s | the May wall is incredibly powerful to |
2072s | the point where if you do lose your tank |
2074s | it's not problematic the may still has |
2076s | the ability to be able to control all of |
2078s | that fight the thing as well is you have |
2080s | to remember this is a team who's going |
2082s | to be running the sojan and sojan is |
2085s | that determinating factor in these |
2087s | opening fights if you're able to put |
2088s | that serjan into a position with the off |
2090s | angle on the long backside of that point |
2093s | you can apply so much pressure onto the |
2095s | ratra and the team behind something that |
2097s | we talked about yesterday going into |
2099s | depth with Christopher was one of the |
2101s | problems that ratra runs into as a tank |
2104s | is that you can only cover so many |
2107s | angles with your utilities you're always |
2109s | going to be left vulnerable and open if |
2111s | someone is able to actually find that |
2113s | off angle and take advantage and it's |
2115s | something that we have to see from both |
2117s | of these |
2118s | teams right I me we have to considering |
2121s | it's the it's only that ratra |
2122s | compostition Moxy I mean that's |
2124s | basically what we've seen from these two |
2126s | teams in particular um well I guess not |
2128s | microwave cuz microwave tends to to mix |
2130s | that up I think that uh I'm sure you not |
2132s | to steal any talking points from anybody |
2133s | later on but I know Mari has been that |
2135s | kind of that character that we usually |
2137s | see change between different Heroes |
2139s | right Moxy like that like she's been |
2141s | making sure okay I want to swap to Sigma |
2143s | or whatever to counter the ratra points |
2145s | right yeah well you can do that on |
2147s | flasho because the map goes on for so |
2149s | long here in control it is so important |
2152s | that you win this first fight so that |
2153s | your sergean and they are set up to |
2154s | success in the ones afterwards we're |
2156s | going to see that for Mirror May's |
2158s | coming through from both of these sides |
2160s | so far however no one actually fully |
2162s | isolated no but Mari actually goes a |
2164s | little bit low here forcing that |
2166s | immortality field out and as well from |
2168s | Timeless Celestial however Mari goes low |
2170s | and doesn't really matter Timeless they |
2172s | just want to back up right take these |
2173s | kind of angles too far away in fact |
2176s | getting a lot of space to microwave be |
2178s | baiting them in temporarily however |
2179s | nobody dies on microwave side it's kqa |
2182s | to fall first and we' seen this |
2183s | previously in Anar Peninsula for time of |
2185s | celestial as death gets a 3K in this |
2187s | fight they lose their Lucio first yeah |
2189s | it's a great Vortex as well coming from |
2191s | Mari she actually gets walled off and |
2194s | uses the vortex places it right in front |
2196s | of that corner so time are not able to |
2198s | actually peek and try and take the |
2200s | isolated GATRA down otherwise they were |
2203s | that slow impact coming into play making |
2205s | it so much harder to be able to dodge |
2206s | around death shots and now the defens of |
2208s | soan is in that position she's always |
2211s | going to have that first opening shot |
2213s | and Timeless celesti you're always going |
2214s | to have to be so careful that they don't |
2216s | fit that real Al Fire by losing |
2218s | someone's head already early |
2220s | regenerative verse used by mer rest the |
2223s | time of celestial back up early beat |
2224s | drop by the way from Wick there only |
2226s | connects on the ajmr so just helping |
2228s | their supports meanwhile time celes is |
2231s | waiting for that counter engage right |
2232s | they will have that beat Advantage after |
2234s | Michael wave used their first now they |
2236s | try to come in slowly but it's window to |
2238s | slow them down counter window on the |
2240s | other side by maer beat drop still |
2242s | available for kqa trying to force off |
2245s | the May who is aggressive kind of just |
2247s | harassing K on the back side already |
2249s | forcing that cool down though K and |
2251s | making sure so can't go to get blizzard |
2252s | meanwhile her blizzard on the side got a |
2254s | good one too however overclock from |
2257s | Death there they kind of push back |
2258s | Celestial make sure they get those kills |
2260s | the beat drop eventually will wear off |
2262s | as snos Falls so low the immortality |
2264s | field was used as well to keep likes of |
2266s | a alive to get wild with this overclock |
2269s | however there's a blizzard and a wall in |
2271s | the Wave A so no damage will come |
2273s | through on this angle and Michael wave |
2275s | are going to be it's going to be only |
2276s | them in that kill feed and still in |
2278s | control of that point with 70% yeah and |
2280s | here's another reason why coming out |
2281s | with the raat in this composition on |
2283s | control matters so much Dustin this is a |
2286s | sustained composition if you start a |
2289s | fight with control of this point you're |
2291s | able to just sustain through so much |
2293s | point percentage and stall Michael wave |
2296s | coming now into that last fight |
2297s | territory and time celesto committed |
2299s | everything in the fight prior SMA has to |
2301s | come back from the traitor just to try |
2303s | and get her touch ready to go Mari just |
2305s | wants to fly it and what do you do at |
2308s | that point tried to throw the |
2309s | immortality field down but it was far |
2310s | too late meanwhile their side what |
2312s | street Lord found one they get the cap |
2314s | at least with snar on the Tracer and a |
2316s | kill what before the immortality fi |
2319s | could even come ajar is down somebody |
2321s | could touch the point snar that's a big |
2323s | kill considering now you don't have that |
2326s | impation Matrix yeah come towards this |
2328s | point to give it a little B A Touch do |
2329s | you live though wi still has the beat |
2331s | straight Lords back on the doomfist the |
2333s | hack comes through by the way because |
2334s | now AZ is onto that Som beat drop early |
2338s | use here by Michael wave they do have |
2340s | that ultimate Advantage so even though |
2341s | it was a little dicey withler finding |
2343s | the Baptist of Michael wave eventually |
2345s | agmr comes back they find two kills |
2348s | counter window is here by mer however it |
2350s | doesn't matter in Michael wave will win |
2352s | round one I like the fors behind the |
2354s | swaps coming through right A lot of the |
2356s | times sometimes we see things like the |
2357s | soldier picked up by the DPS but they |
2360s | opt said to go for that Sombra |
2362s | understanding the other side has the |
2363s | sign bar has that sustainability in the |
2365s | overtime especially because we've had SN |
2366s | SW to the Tracer and straight having to |
2368s | swap onto the Doom that resets a lot of |
2370s | Al charge so you need to have the stra |
2372s | to threaten that space and potentially |
2373s | find the hack onto wicker to stop the |
2375s | sound barrier from coming through |
2378s | unfortunately it doesn't quite work out |
2380s | and microwave again because they won |
2382s | that first fight even though along the |
2385s | way they would lose a couple of players |
2387s | they never once had a full team wipe and |
2389s | as a result they just got to stall and |
2391s | sustain on that point for an absolute |
2393s | eternity it's one of the biggest TRS of |
2396s | the ratra comp position and it's why so |
2398s | many of these teams are sticking to it |
2400s | Like |
2401s | Glue P SL Shi see if in this fight they |
2406s | want to play a bit more aggressive right |
2407s | it feels like they've been continuously |
2409s | playing a bit reactionary to Michael |
2411s | wave whereas death already goes low so |
2413s | that's a good start they have that |
2415s | damage Advantage here really getting a |
2417s | lot of that space however immediately |
2418s | microwave come back through with the |
2420s | counter engage W Falls so low but no |
2422s | deaths that's the biggest thing for |
2423s | microwave until about now snar will find |
2425s | wi who fell low on the side no more |
2428s | speed in this fight now I mean yeah all |
2429s | of the momentum is back in Timeless fl's |
2431s | favor death has found one could they |
2434s | find more they have three here the Boop |
2435s | off the map in fact on to Zoe from kqa |
2438s | fantastic job by them ESS leio will |
2440s | actually be the first ones to take the |
2441s | point kqa as well because you managed to |
2444s | get the knock onto the May means that |
2446s | you're able to pick up all of the all |
2448s | charge on that higher Health Target as |
2451s | the DPS 74% to a sound bar one of the |
2455s | slowest charging ultimates |
2457s | in a first fight in comparison to wer |
2459s | who got picked first on microwave side |
2461s | and as a result is so far behind in |
2463s | terms of that ultimate if T Celestial do |
2466s | start seeing themselves go a little bit |
2467s | too low on the Hellas with the sustained |
2469s | composition they are going to have so |
2471s | many resources to hold on to this |
2473s | point on the flip side death also has |
2476s | that overclock for their engage see what |
2479s | Celestia want to do with that beat like |
2481s | you said do they want to maintain their |
2483s | momentum play aggressive with it no it's |
2485s | in fact dead the the the old early we |
2488s | seem like some microwave do this |
2490s | previously does it pan out for them now |
2492s | the beat drop comes out from KQ way |
2494s | Michael |
2494s | wave playing it slow still nobody's |
2497s | really dying even though SPS were used |
2499s | on the other side meanwhile Blizzard |
2500s | from snar enables SN to find Mari in ajm |
2505s | h% on the board built in a fight win yet |
2507s | again for time with Celestial oh Michael |
2509s | wave got baited they thought that they |
2512s | could push onto kqa and the rest of the |
2514s | team went sounded by had ran out and SNS |
2517s | just catches them with the blizzard on |
2519s | rotation over towards that point and |
2521s | it's an absolute shooting G for both M |
2523s | and azer now we're going to see |
2525s | Annihilation and amplification Matrix as |
2527s | well as the overclock for the defending |
2529s | soan microw wave will have support |
2531s | ultimates but a lot of this is going to |
2533s | hinge how Zoe utilizes the blizzard try |
2535s | and shut down someone's face to his |
2538s | Genji got to deal with that window on |
2540s | the left side on the may be drop to give |
2543s | them some space wall off Street Lord for |
2545s | now no blizzard utiliz just yet |
2548s | Annihilation committed by Mari as well |
2550s | so they're kind of cycling their |
2551s | ultimates making everybody low on |
2553s | Timeless but now Timeless is coming back |
2554s | with an overclock and their own |
2555s | Annihilation now the blizzard is used by |
2558s | Zoe it does catch out street Lord with |
2559s | the annihilation damage is able to find |
2561s | them mer will trade back quick at the |
2563s | very least however m is shut down by |
2565s | death who is looking phenomenal so far |
2568s | in this map and microwave take control |
2569s | of the point and the pressure good |
2572s | ultimate economy coming through from |
2573s | Michael wave it does cost them a lot but |
2575s | honestly it's the right rotation |
2577s | necessary Annihilation from Mari pushes |
2579s | T to Celestial off of the point Zoe gets |
2581s | to hold on to the blizzard so if anyone |
2582s | from Celestial tries to contest that |
2584s | flip to come through they walk directly |
2586s | into it and they're able to bait azra |
2589s | into utilizing the overclock one of the |
2590s | ultimates that can still have an impact |
2592s | in the fight outside of the reaches SN |
2595s | block oh no goes down early on Michael |
2599s | wave able to catch the May early push |
2602s | ESS Celestial back and that is huge in |
2605s | terms of making up for the point percent |
2607s | that's not even an ultimate invested |
2608s | this is great for ajmr who's going to be |
2610s | able to cycle into amp at the same time |
2613s | as overclock for death yeah I mean if |
2615s | you're on the if you're a fan of |
2616s | Timeless celes just hope they learn and |
2618s | react to that cuz that was an entire |
2620s | Vortex from Mari there does so much |
2622s | damage alongside the May of of Zoe in |
2625s | that fight now try to walk in but now |
2627s | they're dealing with the Matrix from |
2629s | ajmr just wants to maybe use it towards |
2631s | the middle holds against it though for |
2633s | Now counter using it on the backside cuz |
2636s | Mull also committed their an Matrix but |
2637s | death gets that shot with the rail gun |
2639s | through with a also find streight Lord |
2641s | and even though Timeless Celestial got |
2643s | up to 93% Micha wave look to be in full |
2646s | advantage at the moment up to 75% on the |
2648s | port yeah great amp coming through from |
2651s | AJR actually is able to get blocked off |
2654s | a little bit by the Mayall but still has |
2656s | a gap large enough for the pick to come |
2659s | through until the wall is broken and |
2660s | then death with the overclock is able to |
2662s | push forward and claps onto the members |
2664s | of ESS C who are trying to hide away |
2666s | having lost the player early speaking of |
2668s | early we're going to see an early fight |
2670s | immediately start to break on I do |
2671s | microwave want to stop any potential for |
2673s | Celestial to touch the point and 97 98 |
2677s | can KQ a tou oh oh my God just did in |
2680s | Thisick of Time snar find soe Death has |
2682s | found as so they are even in terms of |
2684s | Trades however microwaves still have |
2685s | their so Mari also has the annihilation |
2688s | is low but has that beat drop on top two |
2690s | Timeless CEST you'll have nothing just |
2693s | yet so somehow some way in overtime they |
2695s | need to stall for from however Street |
2697s | Lord's already gone SAR does find one |
2699s | now there's that Annihilation from Mari |
2701s | on the backside has so much damage SAR |
2703s | trying to equalize it and get kills but |
2706s | they're the ones to go down Mari just |
2708s | able to run rampant towards this point |
2709s | kqa found death so slowly celesti |
2712s | working themselves back in aay finds one |
2714s | has the overclock finds the Lucio finds |
2716s | the ratra and the Tracer took that point |
2719s | back in overtime they've worked |
2721s | themselves back into this series into |
2723s | this map in particular and I don't think |
2724s | anybody else can touch her Mich somehow |
2727s | in overtime Celestial does it bringing |
2729s | us to round number three a surely it was |
2732s | over Street was so close to the ultimate |
2734s | so close to Annihilation the one thing |
2736s | that could have catapulted if fight back |
2738s | into Celestial favor and there are match |
2741s | where Falls and you think okay it's done |
2743s | you're having to deal with an |
2744s | Annihilation and a s bar from the other |
2746s | team you don't have any of the damage |
2747s | burst potential snar is getting so much |
2750s | pressure out on that Ma so that you |
2752s | don't just stall and sustain on that |
2753s | point for eternity Zoe even swapping |
2755s | onto the Tracer to keep MOA occupied on |
2758s | that Baptist but azer with the absolute |
2761s | clutch play coming on through what a |
2765s | soan to be able to shut down the players |
2768s | of microwave and win that last fight and |
2771s | put us onto the third map in Antarctic |
2774s | Peninsula we're going to see Icebreaker |
2776s | come on through and this means we need |
2777s | to see these SOI start to put a little |
2779s | bit more pressure from that backside |
2781s | angle onto the teams behind the |
2785s | ratra in order for time with Celestial |
2787s | to maintain their advantage though they |
2790s | they still play a little bit slow right |
2791s | they get wall off first now death finds |
2793s | kqa we saw this in round number one time |
2796s | of slal that momentum needs to go back |
2798s | in the favor sosler though equalizes I |
2799s | mean how many times have we seen snar do |
2802s | this two times in a row now basically |
2805s | find that kill getting rid of that soj |
2807s | also finds w i mean oh my gosh what M |
2809s | play we talk about bun but snar has been |
2811s | stained out as well has all of this |
2813s | healing from mer and the front line |
2815s | pressure still there from great Lord |
2816s | Mari and soe Falls so low eventually |
2819s | they'll fall to K QA who's back from the |
2821s | spawn and time Celestial turn that back |
2823s | on its head as they take the point first |
2825s | yeah so the difference is time Celestial |
2827s | they see that Lucio goes down early yet |
2829s | again and have that Deja Vu moment but |
2831s | they decide to double down they know |
2833s | that they can't back on out that means |
2834s | that Zoe is going to get a free wall |
2836s | without the Lucio to speed boost |
2837s | everyone in tanm someone's getting |
2839s | isolated and that's going to stagger |
2841s | them even more and spiral into way more |
2843s | Al percentage and point percentage for |
2845s | microwave so they go for that brwl fight |
2847s | and as a result they're able to win it |
2849s | out and now they've got the at Matrix |
2851s | and Zoe is gone in the blink of an eye |
2855s | yeah immediately just delet them Mari |
2858s | does get one however that's a hold |
2860s | already there Moxy with just the use of |
2861s | that an Matrix kqa does go down but the |
2865s | luu is going to be back you move so fast |
2867s | from the respawn back to that point you |
2870s | don't have to turn around and FY IA m is |
2872s | going to be there if microwave try and |
2874s | get a little bit more aggressive fast on |
2876s | especially with the annihilation wanting |
2877s | to potentially try and run in on this |
2879s | team have to be careful though that you |
2881s | don't commit too aggressively CU SN is |
2883s | holding on to the Blizzard that can |
2884s | immediately slow a fast |
2887s | down double DPS ultimates that blizzard |
2890s | that you said on the left side a drops |
2892s | that disruptor shot immediately Mar is |
2894s | trying to create space on the Az A lot |
2896s | of that pressure coming towards that |
2898s | soor Annihilation still here making sure |
2899s | this over through but a doesn't even |
2901s | need it doesn't even adjust the |
2903s | Crosshair it seems two kills for azire |
2906s | who has come on line an anthropic |
2908s | Peninsula 70% of the board ant Matrix |
2910s | was used but Mich would have to back up |
2913s | yeah agmr pops The ampt Matrix to try |
2916s | and contest and also just for azer off |
2918s | of that angle before the overclock is |
2921s | able to claim another bit straight with |
2923s | the annihilation just denies it entirely |
2925s | kqa is able to catch death the player |
2928s | with the ultimate that Michael wave |
2930s | needs to be able to break the back of |
2932s | this defense but it's just so hard to be |
2934s | able to do so if you look at how split |
2936s | time cesal are playing they're not going |
2937s | to allow microwave any freedom of |
2939s | movement to just come around UN |
2942s | notic in this fight Michael wave trying |
2945s | to go agressive with the beat drop does |
2946s | catch on a three members of their team |
2948s | also incoming overclock nice beat from K |
2950s | QA takes that D in the left side wall |
2952s | off they also want to slow down asra on |
2954s | this back side who's got that an Matrix |
2956s | finds death and then the immortality |
2958s | field however they've already lost two |
2959s | members of their own team and microwave |
2961s | take control of that point a doesn't |
2963s | even care doesn't even care about the |
2964s | person Advantage kills W and then comes |
2967s | back on to Zoe an absolute insane clutch |
2969s | player that azire has been so far |
2971s | microwave still on this point they have |
2973s | their amatra and they've got some |
2974s | healings here so a does have to back up |
2977s | for now even though yeah eventually lose |
2979s | snar they had a lot of point on the they |
2981s | have 99% on the board here Moxy |
2982s | microwave have to make this 99 comeback |
2985s | yeah t have all of the time in the world |
2987s | to be able to just slow push build up |
2990s | these ultimates Shore the aggression and |
2992s | then come in swinging microwave on the |
2994s | other hand are going to be on tenter |
2996s | hooks through the entire duration of the |
2998s | rest of this map Mari does have |
3000s | Annihilation doesn't have to worry about |
3001s | being burst down with the M's |
3004s | amplification Matrix early that's not |
3006s | going to be available for a little bit |
3007s | longer but they have to try and stall |
3008s | these fights for as long as possible so |
3010s | that ultimate can find |
3012s | Value we use this Annihilation they've |
3014s | already got the shift out of snar if |
3016s | they find that kill that'd be so huge |
3018s | immortality field used as well they back |
3020s | on out of there can Timeless live it |
3022s | appears they can't death is found AER |
3024s | already Mari does go low though but |
3026s | swaps for blizzard maybe this is a bit |
3027s | of an overextension from microwave kqa |
3030s | finds soe as well so they're even in the |
3032s | fight ant Matrix has to be used now from |
3034s | ajmr continue this pressure death finds |
3036s | K you way they have at least the |
3038s | advantage through that straight lower on |
3040s | the inside angle just trying to live |
3041s | they' got no healing so this is really |
3043s | going to be hard to live in this |
3045s | situation is Al and also there's a lot |
3046s | of time already built on the board this |
3048s | is pretty much last fight for both teams |
3049s | yeah and there's going to be free |
3050s | ultimates available for ter Celestial |
3052s | Annihilation to brute force your way |
3054s | through choke and both support ultimates |
3055s | to give all of the sustain and |
3057s | confidence to be able to take this point |
3060s | and fight directly to that objective so |
3062s | we hit into that overtime death needs to |
3064s | come into clutch we've seen azer pop off |
3067s | now microwave soan needs to save the day |
3070s | the though already wall in that front |
3073s | side a finds that kill and they find any |
3075s | more potentially death also close on |
3077s | that overclock deep drop was later from |
3080s | kqa so they have that support advantage |
3082s | two down two overclock from Death here |
3084s | it just might be too late I don't know |
3086s | how you get it done without a tank on |
3088s | the front line you just don't a shuts it |
3090s | down overclock of their own believe that |
3092s | was like four in that fight for AER and |
3094s | they win on an Peninsula Titan Celestial |
3098s | have such a good understanding of what |
3100s | they can actually utilize at the |
3101s | beginning of that fight immortality |
3103s | field is not used defensively it's used |
3105s | aggressively proactively to be able to |
3107s | just cement that position behind that |
3108s | amp Matrix so that if de does come into |
3111s | the overclock before the map is done |
3114s | unfortunately she's already just lost so |
3116s | many players on her team that it is not |
3119s | going to be able to make a difference if |
3120s | your is still alive you're going to be |
3122s | able to use that Nemesis for re the |
3124s | shield and just body through a lot of |
3125s | that sergean ultimate so that Celestial |
3127s | have the opportunity to be able to take |
3129s | the sergean down before it becomes an |
3130s | absolute team life the way that we saw |
3133s | AER start to run rampant on labs and |
3136s | Moxy if we if we look back at Round |
3138s | number one right Michael wave did look |
3141s | very good right just on this map alone |
3143s | they were able to control that pressure |
3145s | what what flipped in Timeless Celestial |
3147s | brains after this first round that they |
3150s | just decided okay we can kind of come |
3151s | back maybe play this reactive style we |
3153s | just play better so they started setting |
3156s | traps which is actually really |
3157s | interesting cuz it was kqa sometimes you |
3159s | see the Lucio and the sjan putting |
3161s | themselves into a position understanding |
3163s | that you're going to get flanked on and |
3165s | you don't want to have a one versus two |
3167s | potentially but kqa alone goes to make |
3170s | sure and guard dog essentially the |
3173s | entire back Avenue of Icebreaker and it |
3176s | comes into play massively When Death has |
3178s | the overclock that second ultimate that |
3180s | we see come through when microw wave |
3182s | initially trying to break the choke |
3183s | defense they send de through and round |
3186s | the back of that point in the hopes of |
3188s | being able to surprise s Celestial |
3190s | comeing of the overclock instantly find |
3191s | a pck and then just claps onto them in a |
3194s | pins movement with everyone else moving |
3196s | through from choke but because you get |
3198s | spotted out by the Lucio who has the |
3200s | sound barrier you don't actually have to |
3202s | win the 1 V one you just have to give a |
3204s | heads up of the 's position and then |
3207s | have the ultimate to be able to save |
3209s | everyone if the overclock does indeed |
3211s | come through as opposed to someone like |
3213s | azer who when you were looking at how |
3215s | they were getting set up with those |
3218s | overclocks it was always off of the back |
3220s | of the ampt Matrix coming through from M |
3222s | you don't need the off angle because the |
3224s | amp Matrix means that you're going to be |
3225s | connecting onto so many of those bodies |
3227s | on Icebreaker especially with the chokes |
3229s | being so narrow that's going to mean a |
3231s | lot of kills and that's wild too just |
3234s | look at these stats alone mock see I |
3236s | mean I was it Maru yesterday too that |
3238s | kind of had I'm not going to say empty |
3239s | stats but like high damage and still in |
3241s | a loss right like wasn't that was that |
3243s | Mari yesterday that had that incredibly |
3245s | high damage on tank but just like didn't |
3247s | have a win to show for it well Mari was |
3249s | taking a lot of damage because Mario was |
3251s | playing a lot of the orisa remember so |
3253s | we had that discussion about meaningful |
3255s | damage and meaningless damage it's it's |
3257s | happening again today though Marx like |
3259s | it's on ratra too yeah and it's |
3262s | something that's actually really |
3263s | problematic with this composition |
3264s | because of high fast amp Matrix buls on |
3267s | up you don't just have to worry about |
3269s | the soan in the downtime of when rail |
3271s | gun doesn't have that alt fire when |
3273s | overclock isn't available you have to be |
3275s | consistently Vigilant about when that |
3277s | Baptist hits the amp Matrix because a |
3279s | lot of the time the soan is able to do |
3281s | so much damage through the window that |
3283s | even if you're about 50% off of the |
3284s | overclock you're immediately able to |
3286s | supercharge that ultimate percentage and |
3289s | build the ultimate back on up and as a |
3292s | result when you talk about meaningful |
3294s | damage and meaningless damage especially |
3296s | on those tank plays because everyone has |
3298s | the health to be able to survive all of |
3300s | that poke pressure if you're chipping |
3302s | those health bars down and the enemy |
3304s | supports the healing them straight back |
3306s | up with no kill in sight all you're |
3308s | doing is handing your opponent a Smoking |
3310s | Gun and asking them not to shoot it at |
3312s | you next round well we're going to Kings |
3315s | roow next and by the way speaking of the |
3317s | supports I mean merer I I I wanted to |
3319s | point out M's gameplay before I mean |
3322s | definitely um was just consistently |
3324s | putting those ant matri down in |
3325s | positioning those teammates like you |
3327s | said Moxy I mean fantastic Baptist play |
3330s | from the support of Timeless and now |
3333s | Moxy we're going to Kings Row Mich wave |
3335s | think they have a potential Advantage |
3337s | here on Kings Row are they are they |
3340s | right to believe that is mainly Timeless |
3342s | a team that you think okay Kings Row |
3344s | could be a weak point for them or is it |
3345s | just more so a strong point for the |
3347s | likes of microw wave I think it's a |
3349s | strong point for microwave if you think |
3351s | about what they actually played into |
3353s | Timeless aerial yesterday with it was |
3355s | Kings r that we first got to see Mari |
3357s | swap onto the orisa and that threw a |
3360s | spanner into the works of aeral an |
3362s | incredibly strong team arguably the |
3364s | strongest team in cah at the moment they |
3367s | really had to take their time reset and |
3369s | figure out how to deal with this orisa |
3371s | where I'm a little bit concerned however |
3373s | is that not only have you already shown |
3376s | your hand on the orisa strategy you've |
3378s | shown your hand with the Arisa strategy |
3381s | to a team that is under the same label |
3383s | of your opponent that you tell that card |
3386s | too so this is going to be something |
3388s | that everyone is expecting and Timeless |
3391s | 100% are going to know how to deal with |
3394s | the Orissa and land on their feet today |
3396s | far faster than aerial did yesterday now |
3399s | that they know what to |
3401s | expect I like I like what I'm seeing at |
3403s | a Timeless right I think Moxy we were |
3405s | talking about a little bit like I just |
3407s | feel like yesterday in and maybe this |
3409s | whole tournament so far it just feels |
3410s | like Timeless Celestial has been you |
3412s | know a little not I I want to say like |
3415s | it it just feels like they're not |
3416s | connected in this current meta but as of |
3419s | today and as of that previous map the |
3421s | opposite was kind of happening right |
3422s | like as a unit they look really strong |
3424s | it wasn't really that aggressive play |
3426s | style that we see the other Timeless |
3427s | team do but it still worked right it |
3430s | kind of proved that this team can play |
3432s | in their own sort of ratra brawl style |
3434s | right yeah I I don't think it's the fact |
3436s | that t Celestial look necessarily weak |
3439s | yesterday I think it's just wisp ERS |
3441s | looked amazingly strong and Incredibly |
3443s | dominant this is a composition that is |
3445s | all about finding momentum and working |
3448s | with it if it's defending momentum then |
3450s | it's just playing off of the back of the |
3451s | fact that you can stall and sustain so |
3454s | one fight win controlling that space for |
3456s | even 5 Seconds normally guarantees that |
3458s | you're going to be in control of it for |
3460s | at least a minute until those ultimate |
3461s | start to come into play and when it's |
3463s | aggressive momentum it's all about |
3464s | trying to just pick up that space |
3466s | forcing the enemy team constantly on the |
3468s | back foot and to be retreating which |
3469s | means that things like the mid the soan |
3471s | and the ratra don't get into the |
3472s | position to actually be able to pop off |
3475s | even if their mechanical Paris is there |
3476s | if they don't have the space to be able |
3478s | to do so you don't really get to see it |
3479s | and I think that's what we saw yesterday |
3481s | and now that Timeless Celestial on |
3483s | always on the back foot and constantly |
3485s | having to react to what's being thrown |
3486s | at them they look a lot more |
3488s | dominant it's a fa Point yeah whis is |
3490s | just is a really good team and now today |
3493s | against Michael wave have to put another |
3495s | good team down make that top three Sor |
3498s | already saying up on this top right |
3500s | flank really didn't have a lot of |
3502s | pressure over here because Micha way |
3503s | were trying to react to it with three |
3504s | members of their team |
3506s | knowing that snar just drops back to the |
3508s | main side so good counter push there |
3509s | from microwave bit of a micro fight in |
3512s | that staircase now that statue is still |
3514s | under control by Mari however early well |
3516s | used by Zoe here to really slow down |
3518s | potentially catch somebody out |
3519s | immortality field been trade though so |
3522s | it is a one for one in terms of cool |
3524s | Downs rail gun shot also available here |
3526s | from azer looking towards that hotel |
3529s | side can't find the kill necessarily has |
3530s | to back up towards Maine and microwave |
3532s | are putting a lot of pressure on |
3533s | Timeless at the moment really can't make |
3535s | it past the statue yeah again when you |
3538s | don't have one of those players |
3539s | instantly finding that kill shot with |
3541s | the soan these fights are going to slow |
3543s | down to an absolute snails pace until |
3545s | something like amplification Matrix |
3547s | comes through and T celes are taking a |
3548s | lot more poke damage and as a result the |
3550s | m is about hit out that amp's almost |
3553s | available Mari goes so low on that front |
3555s | line how do they want to use this looks |
3557s | like actually passively so they're not |
3559s | going to be able to get any kills from |
3560s | this but at least maybe take some point |
3561s | pressure yeah over the top I mean they |
3563s | have some people jumping up the clock |
3565s | tower too points getting CA really |
3567s | slowly asre tries to jump up to The High |
3568s | Ground kqa goes down the rubber band |
3571s | yeah rubber band works out in favor of M |
3573s | wave and now Mar and agmr connect for |
3575s | two sure they get one tick down and |
3577s | Street Lord finds |
3578s | agmr however at this point M wave have |
3581s | won that team fight alt tracking on |
3583s | point for Michael wave as well they |
3585s | understand that the mo is coming into |
3586s | that a matrix and as a result when the |
3587s | ultimate actually goes down Michael wave |
3589s | already in position to not get bothered |
3592s | by it at all speaking about in position |
3594s | so we want you up to you hiding in |
3597s | health pack room so they don't spawn you |
3599s | out so you can blizzard the backl no way |
3601s | they didn't see that coming oh no |
3604s | immortality F use beat dropped oh my God |
3605s | by kqa keeps that Baptist alive for now |
3608s | SAR meanwhile in the front line use that |
3610s | blizzard just trying to live on the |
3611s | other side of the map Annihilation here |
3613s | for Mari has that healing from ajmr as |
3615s | well nobody dead yet on either side just |
3619s | yet counter Annihilation potential still |
3622s | available here from street L beat drop |
3623s | used by Wick here as tries to find some |
3626s | value shoot wildly with this overclock |
3628s | and through it finds that extra damage |
3630s | the street Lord needed to kill Zoe and |
3632s | Mari So eventually timeus Lees will come |
3634s | through off of the annihilation and |
3636s | through some more ultimates and capture |
3637s | the point I wonder if this is where we |
3639s | see that Arisa Swap come through now |
3641s | that Mario potentially has that choke |
3643s | Corner as we head into B but it feels |
3646s | like they're looking a lot more |
3647s | confident inside theat miror as in just |
3650s | entire composition as a team from |
3652s | Michael wave side so I don't think we're |
3653s | going to quite yet see that A R A Change |
3656s | pal on through they're confident in the |
3657s | full mirror as death holds on to the |
3660s | overclock fin C have to be careful s has |
3662s | to have the M on cool down but utilizes |
3664s | it aggressively to try and shut the rat |
3666s | down and Matrix to support them at the |
3669s | very least with those rail gun shots |
3671s | able to push back microw wave and force |
3673s | that immortality field out for now but |
3677s | no kills found either through that |
3679s | ultimate it seems like Timeless Lester |
3680s | is kind of using that ant Matrix as more |
3682s | of a support item death now here with |
3685s | that with the overclock tries to get rid |
3687s | of the May forces that ice block from |
3688s | snar and then gets the kill afterwards |
3690s | as well and with that Timeless try to |
3693s | back on out of there right they don't |
3694s | have their May anymore and they just |
3696s | want to live for now as microwave take |
3698s | control in the stre things I think there |
3700s | are two cool Downs in the entirety of |
3701s | OverWatch that are frustrating for May |
3703s | players dynamite and disruptor shot |
3706s | every single time you pop out of that |
3708s | ice block there's always one to the |
3710s | other waiting to catch you I de is able |
3712s | to just lock small down and ride that |
3714s | made the push is done as we're going to |
3716s | see Michael wave immediately start to |
3717s | open on up and Matrix from ajm dropped a |
3719s | shot as well looking to shut down some |
3721s | of the movement from who's now been |
3723s | tanged inside this hallway which is |
3726s | perfect position for Mari to start try |
3728s | and get aggressive but it's immediately |
3730s | having to be a full team Retreat as s |
3733s | defensively uses the blizz but yet again |
3735s | Michael wave don't get caught out by it |
3737s | they expect it they know that they're |
3738s | pushing into a space where the blizzard |
3739s | is going to come into play and find so |
3741s | much more value and as a result they |
3743s | kind of bait SM into throwing it |
3746s | absolutely nothing well it sucks there |
3748s | Moxy for snar cuz that blizzard didn't |
3751s | get pass like that choke so it didn't |
3752s | have Los is really unfortunate for snar |
3756s | who now has to use the ice block coming |
3757s | out of Spawn and Zoe hands their own |
3759s | blizzard so all the old going in favor |
3761s | of microwave minute 50 seconds left as |
3764s | well so microwave playing the time B |
3765s | pretty well now using that Blizzard from |
3766s | Zoe walls off to spawn too snar gets |
3769s | killed and as the streight Lord aay |
3770s | finds one and use the overclock on to |
3772s | the side finds two but can they find |
3775s | more forces immortality field out now |
3777s | with the beat drop surely they'll find |
3778s | more that's three for azra to come out |
3780s | of Spawn but they had to use so many SS |
3781s | just to get out of there Mar yeah the |
3783s | ultimate economy is just shot through |
3785s | we're about to go into recession for to |
3787s | the celestial side the m is going to |
3789s | have ant Matrix stre is going to have |
3790s | Annihilation but microwave are coming |
3792s | into so many ultimates and we are so |
3795s | close to an overtime fight if ESS |
3797s | celesti will have to utilize both of |
3798s | these ultimates in the next fight they |
3801s | are going to really struggle not just to |
3803s | finish B but also moving into with such |
3805s | a limited time bank as you can see them |
3807s | getting incredibly aggressive with those |
3809s | positions hoping to try and pick one of |
3811s | these players out so they don't have to |
3812s | commit the ultimate and instead get free |
3814s | space keep an eye on death by the way |
3816s | that is a flank coming for from the soan |
3817s | alley side we'll see if maybe defensive |
3821s | ant Matrix can help the likes in |
3823s | Timeless again in SN are fine so so in |
3825s | this situation it works meanwhile beat |
3828s | drop also committed Annihilation from |
3830s | Mari who went really far forward okay |
3833s | that was definitely interesting will go |
3835s | down with that Annihilation and so does |
3836s | wi So eventually with passive Timeless |
3839s | Le Shield was was playing it works out |
3841s | for them yeah but there's another fight |
3844s | is the problem we're going to see a |
3845s | stagger onto death which is huge because |
3847s | the soan is going to come into this next |
3849s | fight with the overclock that might |
3851s | actually have allowed Timeless Celestial |
3853s | to avoid another fight entirely and it |
3856s | does look like microwave are just going |
3858s | to allow the cat but this is where we're |
3860s | going to see the Domino's start to fall |
3862s | being stuck on be for so long diminishes |
3864s | that time bank on C below 2 minutes and |
3868s | that is massive but that to is a |
3870s | brilliant pick Wicket goes down |
3871s | microwave has to take the fight where |
3873s | they are I mean it feels like Michael |
3875s | wave you know this win was almost |
3877s | assured early on Moxy but now I mean |
3881s | it's slowly just sort of Falling Away |
3884s | It's just tough death finds one at the |
3885s | very least but might get staggered yet |
3888s | again fall so low one HP does get healed |
3891s | last second but now there's a minute and |
3892s | 10 seconds left on the clock when you're |
3894s | so close to is stopping them in streets |
3895s | yeah but you've got blizzard you've got |
3897s | overclock and you have far faster |
3898s | respawns time ler have to be so careful |
3900s | that they don't lose one of these |
3901s | players they do not have the time bank |
3903s | to afford having to full push Bry yet |
3906s | again as Zoe finds snla and that is the |
3909s | blizzard finding value it doesn't get a |
3911s | full team wi but it slows turn the |
3912s | celestial down and allows de to get into |
3914s | position to use the |
3916s | ultimate and with that they're able to |
3918s | find more Street Lord goes down both |
3920s | teams kind of have one gear it seems |
3922s | Moxy right for microwave that's just go |
3924s | go for time Celestial it's just play |
3926s | Slow yeah time Celestial going to be |
3928s | playing slow in the last fight |
3930s | definitely not slow into this next one |
3932s | they are coming into an absolute wealth |
3934s | of ultimate recession is over we are in |
3936s | the golden age as a is going to be |
3938s | coming in of overclock you've got |
3939s | Annihilation both support ultimate |
3941s | available as well the problem is you |
3943s | have to BR Force Through the beginning |
3945s | of SE both of the m going to be invested |
3947s | that's immediately going to be a goh the |
3948s | street as well who doesn't have to worry |
3950s | about the ultimate being shot down with |
3951s | the me cool down already used time is |
3955s | sitting with that advantage and Matrix |
3957s | aggressively for Muller l or sorry |
3959s | actually no it's still in a a safe angle |
3961s | here towards the C just to suain both |
3963s | immortality Fields use beat drop from |
3965s | kqa to |
3966s | continue agression forwards and the |
3969s | annihilation but a more over the top |
3971s | able to find one also Perfect Beat Drop |
3973s | from wi there soe will find two in this |
3976s | fight and microwave have finally |
3978s | stabilized on Third and overtime will |
3980s | eventually tick down as they stop |
3982s | Timeless Celestial in third B good |
3984s | stabilization really good use of the S |
3986s | barrier into that Annihilation from Mari |
3989s | as well just the cherry on top in the |
3990s | overtime where we've talked about it |
3992s | right some of these ultimates you don't |
3994s | really have to worry about them in the |
3997s | normal neutral but the second that |
3999s | overtime starts to come into play where |
4001s | you don't have that opportunity to be |
4002s | able to kite out the actual impact of it |
4006s | they become a lot more problematic and |
4008s | Annihilation is top of the list when it |
4011s | comes to that scenario as we can have a |
4013s | look at these statistics and see pretty |
4016s | is incredibly similar in terms of the |
4019s | damage output Done Right both of your |
4021s | sojan sticking around the 8K 7K Mark |
4023s | both coming of about 15 to 14 |
4025s | eliminations where it was really |
4027s | problematic for time the celestial H was |
4029s | that they ebbed and Float they would |
4030s | full push through some of those places |
4032s | on kingt incredibly quickly but at other |
4035s | points they just started to an absolute |
4037s | Hal and that's when microwave would |
4038s | really turn that pressure up and stop |
4041s | them from being able to group up Brute |
4043s | Force with the rematch behind |
4046s | them that's kind of that's kind of what |
4048s | I talking about with the both of these |
4049s | teams you know kind of figuring out |
4051s | throughout the series like you said |
4052s | maybe Timeless adjusting a better I I |
4055s | don't really know it just feels like |
4056s | both of these teams kind of like Michael |
4058s | wave wants to always go first right kind |
4060s | of just as a cohesive unit just hold the |
4063s | W key whereas ESS leeso playing the |
4065s | exact opposite of that neither team I |
4067s | mean you said that like Timeless L feel |
4069s | sort of e and flowing there a bit so |
4070s | maybe they're mixing it up I don't know |
4072s | like it just feels like Timeless is |
4073s | always |
4075s | acting no overload this time coming for |
4078s | something that M actually did on their |
4080s | defense they anticipated that being ran |
4082s | on by the soan for time C to be able to |
4084s | claim that High Ground so actually left |
4086s | the mate on that high ground location to |
4089s | defend it speaking about the maze Zoe |
4092s | goes down incredibly early on and that's |
4094s | just going to force microwave to have to |
4095s | wait they may want to get aggressive but |
4097s | Dustin this time around they're going to |
4098s | be on the pause slowing down for now 30 |
4102s | seconds off the clock already in Michael |
4103s | wave still stuck at the choke while |
4105s | ultimates actually not really built |
4107s | really it was just that opening kill |
4110s | kind of slowed down microwave like you |
4111s | said who were deciding what to do at the |
4113s | moment of the choke point yeah probably |
4115s | sergeon body shot into this follow up |
4117s | from Lucio with that poke pressure |
4119s | especially given the F of both KQ and a |
4121s | are playing that similar angle as death |
4123s | goes incredibly low off of that head |
4125s | shot coming through from snla doesn't |
4127s | manage to find to pick however still |
4129s | slows down the approach unfortunately M |
4132s | dinks are not as strong as sojourn Dinks |
4134s | death will find aay no more soj for |
4136s | Timeless Celestial side although snar |
4138s | will have a lot of ultimate charge no |
4140s | more soj pressure on WE field ball used |
4142s | by mer to back off Street Lord and yeah |
4145s | everybody backs off with thas Celestial |
4146s | as they wait for the soldier to come |
4147s | back yeah Michael wave able to clear |
4149s | thas Celestial off of that point they |
4151s | know that there's another fight coming |
4152s | however Zoe lying in weight with that |
4154s | Mayall going to see an off angle |
4156s | approach actually coming on through SSA |
4158s | taking a flank and Street Lord just died |
4161s | running straight to point jumping in a |
4163s | straight line felt like death nice shots |
4165s | and also m a wave nice work as a team |
4168s | they take point a I'm not sure how I |
4170s | feel about s actually taking that PL |
4172s | because in that scenario you kind of |
4174s | need the Mayall you saw what happened |
4176s | when you try and take that fight moving |
4178s | through choke onto the point where |
4180s | everyone from Michael wave is set up |
4181s | without that additional line of cover |
4183s | for the remat you just get absolutely |
4185s | shredded down within moments smalla did |
4187s | draw a little bit of attention away so |
4188s | that Zoe wasn't able to immediately find |
4190s | the isolation wall but it still just |
4192s | wasn't enough there was no kill |
4193s | potential for time CER without that may |
4195s | to be able to add that extra burst of |
4198s | damage coming on through from the |
4199s | primary you will however have the |
4201s | blizzard in this next fight something |
4202s | that microwave have to be careful that |
4204s | they turn back into gorgeous W from Zoe |
4206s | to make sure that Timeless are not able |
4208s | to find anything other than the |
4209s | immortality field and yeah that ant MJ |
4211s | is over the right side really makes sure |
4213s | nobody can push through so in |
4214s | combination with that may wall nice |
4217s | avoidance of the Blizzard from the SAR |
4220s | however it is just a one for one Al |
4221s | trade at the end of the day NE will go a |
4223s | little bit low on the top side but has |
4224s | double support pocket here on the flank |
4225s | side still has the overlock ready to go |
4228s | bit of a whiff on the disruptor shot |
4229s | just to slow down the push potential for |
4231s | now is ASR with the beat drop connects |
4234s | on to Mari too and another flank angle |
4236s | it doesn't really result in much je gets |
4238s | a little bit of a cheeky shot on the |
4240s | main sign however two already down for |
4242s | microwave and a reset is surely about to |
4244s | come how aggressive are we going to see |
4245s | time with Celestial when it comes to |
4247s | spacing are we going to have touch the |
4249s | SP challenge or are we going to have |
4250s | hold R choke hold R choke okay I'm a |
4253s | bigger fan of this especially when you |
4255s | have things like Annihilation come into |
4256s | play it does mean that Michael wave are |
4258s | going to be a little bit more |
4258s | comfortable in terms of the ultimate |
4260s | economy moving forward but time |
4261s | Celestial still slowing things down |
4263s | making it problematic for the attacking |
4265s | side to walk through especially with |
4266s | that may from sosla as toward main side |
4271s | now decides to pop it looking for a |
4273s | squishy but nobody squishy when Lucio |
4274s | beat job hits on that side Michael wave |
4277s | with the extra Health pool able to find |
4279s | snar again seems like snar has been the |
4282s | focus of Michael at the moment every |
4285s | time you know forcing out that ice block |
4286s | early now time to Leal down one back out |
4289s | of there yeah we talked about it before |
4291s | the broadcast began right that may is |
4294s | really that Focus that you need to be |
4296s | able to remove from the picture she |
4297s | brings so much to the table in terms of |
4299s | damage output but also utility and |
4300s | confidence which he allows a team to be |
4302s | able to hold on to that space for as |
4304s | long as they do with these teams want to |
4306s | go aggressive with that M they allowed |
4308s | to run onto some of these teams we're |
4310s | going to see T Celestial trying to play |
4312s | aggressive but microwave yet again |
4313s | looking to stop things off first |
4315s | Annihilation from Mari also s Celesta |
4317s | into reg the no's got blizzard so yeah |
4320s | Focus him down with that Annihilation |
4322s | with the right clicks even though the |
4323s | blizzard was used noar will lose their |
4326s | lives again right that's the problem |
4327s | with using these cool Downs for early |
4329s | but streight Lord will take out so |
4330s | however immediately Mario finds AER so |
4333s | one more person is available for mik |
4335s | wave while as time of celestial slowly |
4337s | bleeding members of their roster only |
4340s | two people here try to run towards that |
4342s | point 3 minutes and 30 seconds that is a |
4345s | larger time bank B than you know the |
4347s | likes of time Celestia on their attack |
4349s | yeah it looked like time Celestia were |
4350s | also trying to set up for another |
4352s | contest snla had gone onto the Symetra |
4354s | to be able to teleport everyone B that |
4357s | spawn faster into the fight kqa as well |
4359s | hanging around a little bit longer |
4361s | wanted to try and launch that contest |
4363s | Street going down talking about going |
4366s | down a a pick before the fight can ramp |
4368s | is devastating news for the soj we're in |
4370s | final fight territory and you do not |
4372s | have the instant kill pressure that's |
4374s | going to force Michael wave back as |
4376s | swaps the Widowmaker in fact just comes |
4378s | back from spot actually gets one kill |
4379s | but Mari with the blizzard able to find |
4382s | one beat drop gives everybody a bit more |
4384s | sustain towards the objective as not |
4386s | missing bunch of head shot hit but the |
4387s | beat drop surely negates anything this |
4389s | Widowmaker could do and Michael way will |
4391s | capture out king Z to tie the series one |
4394s | to one the Widow swap is always high |
4396s | risk High reward right you have that |
4398s | instant kill potential you also have the |
4400s | surprise Factor because so often we |
4402s | don't see the Widow swap when it gets to |
4404s | that space of positioning for the |
4407s | defending team a lot of the time it's |
4408s | the Bas that now actually takes the |
4409s | prominence unfortunately however with |
4412s | the Widow having that instant head shot |
4414s | potential you don't have any potential |
4416s | to touch the objective so you do manag |
4419s | come in with a couple of kills but the |
4420s | second at the Widow's presence is felt |
4422s | we see the may come through instantly |
4424s | your line of sight is Broken Sound bear |
4426s | comes on out as well to make sure that |
4428s | if a squishy does potentially get caught |
4430s | out in the Crosshair it's not going to |
4432s | net the kill and as a result the payload |
4434s | trundles Along on its merry way and |
4437s | there's nothing that azer can do to |
4438s | prevent |
4439s | it yeah Timeless Celestial I mean tough |
4442s | map for them there Moxy considering map |
4444s | number one went their way towards the |
4447s | very end this one it just felt like they |
4449s | they had their moments but could really |
4452s | they really couldn't deal with microwave |
4454s | aggression right they just consistently |
4456s | getting picked off I mean what is the |
4458s | reasoning behind that is that just |
4459s | individual mistakes or is this an |
4461s | overall team kind of cohesion problem |
4464s | like it's so difficult when you lose a |
4467s | fight and with this composition the |
4469s | defending team just decides okay we're |
4471s | not going to stop and hold it the choke |
4473s | while we're going to have a much better |
4475s | position in terms of a fight if it goes |
4477s | to a team match but if you push into |
4480s | spawn because all of these different |
4482s | Heroes have so much self- sustainability |
4484s | they're able to cover all of the |
4485s | different angles so you don't get that |
4486s | off angle approach it forces ultimates |
4488s | from the other team as well just to be |
4491s | able to break back into a space where |
4493s | they're able to to regroup and you deny |
4495s | a lot of the wi conditions a lot of the |
4497s | team play coordination setup that is |
4499s | there from things like the May into the |
4500s | sojun or the ratra all of that is denied |
4504s | entirely if you just continue to hound |
4506s | them as they pop on out of Spawn and it |
4508s | means that the things like the Baptist |
4510s | with the immortality field have to be |
4511s | burned out just for you to be able to |
4513s | step forward and something else that it |
4516s | does because you have to overcommit is |
4517s | it just shoots your ultimate economy in |
4519s | the long run and the fact of the matter |
4522s | is kingro and are like two of the only |
4525s | Maps where you can kind of get away with |
4527s | that if you're defending because of how |
4529s | problematic it is for attacking teams to |
4530s | finish up on C even if you lose a spawn |
4534s | hold on a defensive side incredibly |
4536s | quickly a lot of the time you've still |
4538s | done enough damage to the time bank |
4541s | overall to be able to walk out they |
4543s | might be able to get past you and pick |
4545s | up that second checkpoint but they're |
4546s | definitely not going to be able to pick |
4547s | up the thir and it's something that |
4549s | microwave no and that's why we see them |
4552s | instantly pressure put that aggression |
4554s | into play and just not allow Timeless |
4557s | any idea in the matter to be able to get |
4559s | out without parting through so many |
4561s | things and unfortunately it's a catch 22 |
4564s | they lose the map if they don't |
4565s | overcommit they lose the map if they do |
4568s | and now obviously they get that map pick |
4571s | right coming up though we have to go to |
4572s | a short break when we come back we'll |
4574s | see you guys for that number three which |
4575s | time is Celestial will have the |
4576s | opportunity to |
4582s | pick |

4739s | [Music] |
4763s | welcome back everybody to the calling |
4765s | out Heroes championship series we are on |
4768s | our final day and have some more final |
4770s | matches for you guys okay we got three |
4772s | more this is one of three obviously to |
4775s | come up but we are midst the series |
4777s | between time of celestial and microwave |
4779s | at the moment Moxy we're all tied up one |
4781s | to one walk me down what exactly |
4783s | happened in antar Antarctic Peninsula |
4785s | and then on Kings Row which has been the |
4787s | two maps so far yeah so control was very |
4789s | much a story of the DPSS right A lot of |
4792s | the time it felt like one team was going |
4793s | to walk away and then it immediately |
4795s | seaa into the other team's favor because |
4798s | of some really clutch moments azer |
4801s | absolutely popping off on labs to be |
4804s | able to secure a victory for the team |
4806s | was massive but when we headed to Kings |
4808s | Row unfortunately a lot of that |
4810s | significance just fell off because |
4812s | Michael wave were able to continue |
4814s | exuding this pressure as a team as a |
4816s | coordinated unit breaking ESS Celestial |
4819s | space control and any concentration so |
4821s | even though they might mechanically be |
4823s | able to hold their own they just didn't |
4826s | have any opportunity to be able to use |
4828s | it and now we head into flash point Sasa |
4831s | I'm hoping that we see the mirror |
4833s | continue between these teams or if one |
4835s | of the teams swaps that it's not |
4836s | microwave this is something that we were |
4838s | all talking about in that downtime of |
4841s | the break this is a team that has been |
4842s | winning the mirror and we don't want to |
4844s | see them swap unless things start going |
4847s | sou it's the first time I've ever heard |
4849s | anybody ask for the same compostition |
4851s | throughout a series Moxy I know you're |
4853s | not a fan of the ratra |
4856s | composition we've seen in the past teams |
4858s | on flasho try and move away from it but |
4860s | it just it hasn't worked out no I I I |
4864s | definitely I'm not hating I'm not a |
4865s | hater right now okay listen I I ain't |
4866s | been a hater since we started watching |
4868s | it it's just the idea converted you to |
4870s | the |
4871s | REM no this is still one of the worst |
4873s | compositions to watch in my opinion |
4875s | listen I just like obviously I would |
4877s | rather have any other tank like junker |
4879s | Queen like this guy they play this too |
4881s | however you know like you said earlier |
4883s | machra comp's working Mari is insane |
4885s | right as a tank player I think that |
4887s | overall it's working for them and you |
4890s | know like you guys talked about like you |
4891s | talked about Moxy I think that is |
4892s | continuously the comp they're they're |
4894s | looking to keep playing right I hope |
4896s | it's the comp that they're looking to |
4897s | keep playing one thing that Michael wave |
4899s | has shown in the past even if they're |
4901s | starting to get the better of the mirror |
4904s | sometimes I don't know whether it's |
4905s | because they're more comfortable on |
4907s | other compositions and they get a little |
4908s | bit nervous towards the tail end of some |
4911s | of these matches and just want to finish |
4912s | things off with their comfort picks they |
4914s | will move away from it and I'm hoping |
4917s | that's not something we see occur |
4920s | here my God sorry despite being |
4923s | responsible for 36% of microwave final |
4926s | blow's death only has died three times |
4928s | on King's Row are you kidding |
4930s | me petition for the battle net name |
4932s | change to come through to Alive cuz uh |
4934s | death is very much a lie right |
4938s | now absolutely and uh you know obviously |
4941s | for microwave that's been crucial for |
4943s | them right we were talking about a m one |
4945s | popping off to have death come back and |
4947s | kind of equalize it where do you think |
4949s | death is kind of laid in terms of that |
4951s | sojourn landscape so far in calling Our |
4953s | Heroes de has definitely been holding |
4955s | her own she's been able to find some |
4957s | really good value uh up against some of |
4959s | these other serans I want to see a |
4961s | little bit more confidence come through |
4963s | something actually that I want to see |
4964s | from AZ as well just being able to take |
4965s | some of these off angles and look to |
4967s | create a little bit more space for the |
4969s | rest of the team instead of relying on |
4970s | some of these other players like your |
4972s | Lucio or even smalller on the May to be |
4974s | the one that actually tries to take that |
4975s | off angle and give it a little bit more |
4977s | pressure |
4979s | elsewhere |
4980s | microwave worked the way towards this |
4983s | point as did M Timeless |
4985s | Celestial see who decides to go towards |
4987s | it first obviously now the point has |
4989s | unlocked microwave will use that |
4991s | opportunity to push forward right it's |
4992s | been a constant for both teams microwave |
4995s | to always kind of make that first move |
4997s | while timeus Lush will play back afford |
5000s | that space towards microwave Mari trying |
5002s | to get that damage off getting a lot of |
5005s | support but the support goes down wi |
5007s | gets removed by a who just playing I |
5010s | don't know aim Labs back here basically |
5012s | just doing their own little aim trainer |
5013s | and now with that pick I mean no more |
5015s | speed available however so we found snar |
5018s | the focus of microwave so that is a |
5021s | great pick to find however Zoe will get |
5022s | traded as Ray eventually find dead |
5024s | straight Lord also finds Mari was |
5026s | looking like microwave could have worked |
5027s | the way back in but in this situation |
5029s | Timeless take the point first yeah |
5031s | unfortunately when you lose the loose |
5032s | areal Baptist as a result has to be a |
5034s | little bit more conservative in how you |
5036s | Peak some of those angles and it left |
5037s | Mario a little bit stranded on that |
5040s | point having to do with all of the other |
5041s | players of time the celestial and even |
5042s | though we do see the pressure start to |
5044s | comeing from potentially swim back into |
5046s | Michael wave's favor having the m just |
5048s | being that constant presence you can see |
5050s | it in terms of that little bit extra of |
5052s | Al charge that they're holding on to was |
5055s | just enough to swing it back into T of |
5057s | celestial favor an Mage is going to be |
5058s | available as well off of that edition of |
5061s | an available or this next |
5064s | fight ready to go with now uses it back |
5068s | again and look who's running towards |
5069s | them it's Mari and Mari will get traded |
5071s | out immediately by kqa meanwhile the |
5074s | sign a is able to find wi with those two |
5076s | kills and 70% on the board mock you have |
5078s | to wonder can microwave even touch yeah |
5081s | the book's been read time Celestial it |
5083s | took a little bit of time but they see |
5085s | that aggression come through from |
5086s | microwave unprecedented on King's Row so |
5088s | when the at Matrix comes through M has |
5090s | an idea that Mario is just going to try |
5092s | and run directly through it to deny it |
5095s | entirely and as a result we see that |
5097s | immortality field already come through |
5098s | from W side so that the bapti continues |
5101s | to be able to put that pressure onto the |
5103s | remat through the amp Matrix and as a |
5106s | result Mari goes down with microwave |
5108s | having to just pull that provide that |
5109s | tank now we're going to see a fight |
5111s | however between these two teams trying |
5112s | to cut each other off in rotation and |
5114s | kqa the one player that tuster rely on |
5117s | to be able to rotate goes down stre has |
5120s | to use the annihilation to try and trade |
5122s | Mari who has to mirror with annihilation |
5124s | of her own in death on that has also |
5128s | found azay we talked about the yesterday |
5130s | too MOX is where Zoe and the rest of the |
5132s | microwave are super good on flash point |
5134s | at those fights sure they lost the first |
5136s | uh the first point but in this one in |
5138s | particular while the rotations were |
5139s | happening they took advantage like they |
5140s | did yesterday yeah huge kill onto kqa as |
5143s | well s barrier going to be in the hand |
5146s | of the Luci A and S are also coming in |
5148s | with their ultimate but stre and Mari |
5151s | both lacking you |
5153s | means that they're actually going to be |
5154s | able to find Value as well you don't |
5156s | have to worry |
5157s | about and rushing right |
5159s | on those reduced by snar with the beat |
5162s | drop that continue their advantage |
5163s | towards death as well who can't run |
5165s | anywhere with a May that has beat drop |
5168s | with the sound Barry over top of them I |
5169s | mean not much you could do in that |
5171s | situation Wicked is something to hold on |
5173s | to their own and they built up 50% on |
5175s | the board however now Timeless will |
5177s | regain the point A's going to have the |
5180s | overclock M as well going to have the |
5182s | amp to be able to peir alongside it wer |
5184s | does have the S barer but even with that |
5186s | extra armor with the extra damage that |
5189s | overclock does through that Baptist |
5191s | ultimate it might not be enough to be |
5193s | able to keep these players from Michael |
5195s | wave alive they have to make sure that |
5196s | they do not go down to poke if they can |
5198s | bait the overclock early where they're |
5200s | in a position to be able to kite away |
5201s | from it that's |
5203s | huge op to do 40% on the board now |
5206s | microwave walking slowly with just that |
5208s | sound barrier where did it go merer |
5211s | playing back again we we've seen this |
5213s | consistently safer Windows comparatively |
5216s | he was getting towards the point there |
5217s | so it's a bit of a middle ground for |
5219s | them microwave what do they want to do |
5221s | play it slow wait up the |
5223s | ultimate yeah they temper the aggression |
5225s | that's the first time that we see them |
5226s | they understand the position that |
5227s | they're in a does not actually pop the |
5230s | overlock however sees that M wave had |
5232s | not committed now will use it to catch |
5234s | on to Mich wave but because they |
5235s | actually just tided out of the an Matrix |
5237s | they still have wi S Bar keep everyone |
5240s | alive and |
5241s | healthy and with that that'll burn |
5243s | through the |
5244s | overclock see if they find any dry kills |
5246s | overtime now takes down Point flips for |
5248s | Michael |
5249s | wave situation time was playing it slow |
5252s | right now I mean this has been a |
5253s | constant for them giving that space to |
5255s | melave whove now built up some ultimates |
5256s | so this is kind of scary for them unless |
5258s | they find a default kill through azerite |
5260s | Mar's got Annihilation still ready to go |
5263s | now we'll use it to get some extra armor |
5265s | and damage through on that back line |
5267s | there's that window but now can just run |
5269s | through it I mean Mari just say scw it |
5271s | that's not going to stop me it's not |
5272s | some sort of May block to force me back |
5276s | and now mari's able to walk forwards no |
5278s | more may on side yeah W just tries to Dr |
5281s | or kqa tries to run and touch the point |
5283s | and they will trigger overtime however |
5284s | they're already down their may they have |
5286s | to make it Scrappy at the moment so and |
5288s | the blz is able to find a more totic aay |
5290s | finds one at the very least goes so low |
5293s | but that pocket from Muller is there and |
5295s | a is still alive so even though they |
5296s | lost nolar they're not in that bad of a |
5298s | spot wi will trade back Lucio at the |
5300s | very least but a is just not missing as |
5303s | well as the rest of ESS ceso used a |
5305s | blizzard on top of it at the very end |
5307s | even though they pretty much won it ESS |
5309s | ceso now put themselves on m point here |
5311s | on flash point yeah I think they just |
5313s | wanted to know that wi was going to die |
5316s | the luo incredibly close to H bar def |
5318s | incredibly close as well to the |
5319s | overclock and could get back into the |
5321s | fight far faster than T CIO wanted to |
5323s | deal with yet again azra is able to come |
5326s | in with that save moment on that |
5329s | soan if CH hadn't been able to find the |
5332s | tap AZ hadn't been able to find the Taps |
5334s | Michael wave would have been able to |
5336s | walk away with that point but now it |
5338s | does mean that sza does not have the |
5339s | blizzard for this next engagement lucky |
5342s | for you however Zoe does not have a |
5343s | blizzard of her own it's instead going |
5345s | to be down to both these so try and open |
5347s | things up wi with the S Bar still can |
5350s | allow Michael wave and death to get a |
5351s | lot more aggressive as a result |
5353s | though take the body shot has Lucio |
5356s | support on the back already out of cool |
5357s | Downs here too so surely yes nozar will |
5360s | go down by themselves did have K but K |
5363s | just like left understanding that was a |
5365s | bit of a lost fight and now Michel wave |
5367s | get a push forward right they've been |
5369s | consistently in the edge early on but |
5372s | for some reason keep managing to to |
5374s | throw these rounds so it look like T of |
5376s | celestial actually put small onto that |
5378s | off angle to challenge death a could |
5380s | stick closer to the m who has the amp |
5382s | Matrix they wanted to be able to pair |
5384s | the amp with the overlock and went |
5386s | through main as a result but |
5388s | unfortunately it just means that you |
5390s | lose the M you lose the first fight and |
5392s | wi still gets to hold on to his S Bar he |
5395s | be able to deal with it can't drop the |
5397s | beat in time to save Mari though and |
5399s | Michael wave know that the fight is done |
5401s | they're going to hold on to the Lucio |
5403s | ultimate even longer cuz when you lose |
5405s | the tank that fast there's nothing to do |
5407s | but lick your wounds and |
5409s | regroup what a great time to swap now |
5411s | too Moxy right they did use some |
5413s | ultimates at the very least but 46% is |
5415s | not insane on the board microwave now |
5417s | coming back with some Ms yeah it's going |
5419s | to be kqa getting incredibly close to |
5421s | that sound by however some not microwave |
5423s | are going to be incredibly Vigilant |
5424s | after coming to so many ultimates |
5426s | however and that one St bar is not going |
5428s | to last for all of them death with an |
5430s | early pick on to Smalls is going to |
5432s | start the |
5433s | wave I mean as ra traced back down heat |
5436s | drop used on both sides so now it's |
5438s | getting kind of Scrappy amplification |
5440s | Matrix here defensively maybe trying to |
5442s | take advantage of Timeless Leia who was |
5444s | a bit overzealous here in going for such |
5446s | an aggressive push losing everybody one |
5448s | by one microwave will come back and take |
5451s | the point yeah two ultimates from the |
5453s | side of time Celestial invested a lot |
5456s | more however on the side of microwave |
5459s | that's actually really good for time |
5460s | cestal they're one fight away from being |
5462s | able to take this point they're going to |
5464s | have a little bit more time to be able |
5466s | to just bait and build up some of those |
5468s | ultim speaking about baithing sosla |
5470s | where exactly are you off to is she |
5472s | going to try and back out I mean yes |
5475s | this has been a a common thing for snar |
5478s | is to just play kind of their own on |
5479s | their own little island eventually we'll |
5481s | see if diverting all of the attention |
5483s | away from everyone else on the team L |
5486s | get a free pass for choke back on to |
5488s | point it kind of works out for them snar |
5491s | had to use a lot of those cool down so |
5492s | doesn't die that's the main factor snar |
5494s | doesn't go down that'd be huge blizzard |
5495s | also committed here and eventually it |
5497s | pans out for them sosler will get killed |
5500s | by Zoe but as at that point already took |
5503s | down Mari right that's a lot of your |
5504s | damage a lot of your front line pretty |
5506s | much gone now Timeless get a walk on |
5507s | through Muller find soe right this is |
5510s | now or never as well for M wave who now |
5512s | have to be in a very dicey situation |
5514s | with 80% of the board SN going to be |
5516s | coming back in on the Tracer you lose a |
5518s | lot of space control and shut down with |
5520s | the may but you're also going to be back |
5521s | to the fight far faster Zoe going to be |
5523s | on Tracer as well just to be able to try |
5525s | and get past Celestial forces and find |
5528s | the tap as it comes down to death the |
5530s | overclock has to come in huge but no one |
5533s | gets to touch and time the celestial |
5536s | walk away with the map and I get a |
5538s | little bit more down time to absolutely |
5540s | gush about the valley that Smalls L |
5543s | flank found from Thomas celestials point |
5546s | of view right you're coming in to where |
5549s | you're just one fight away you know that |
5551s | your ultimate economy is going to be in |
5553s | a far better position than your opponent |
5555s | what you have to worry about however is |
5558s | not losing anyone in rotation because of |
5560s | how quickly percentage on flash point is |
5562s | acur very very quickly if you lose |
5564s | someone on rotation and have to wait to |
5566s | regroup that percentage that they' |
5568s | picked up would have been eclipsed by |
5570s | microwave so what do they do they send |
5572s | snla not to back cap but to just divert |
5575s | attention and force everyone from |
5576s | microwave away from being able to look |
5579s | at the members of town the celestial pin |
5581s | down in those chokes pin down in the |
5582s | places where the May and the sergean are |
5584s | going to be able to find so much value |
5586s | and divert them back onto the point |
5588s | where everyone from timeo gets a free |
5590s | pass doesn't have to worry about burning |
5592s | abilities just to be able to brute force |
5594s | their way onto the point knows that if |
5596s | it goes down to a sustained fight |
5598s | they're going to be in a far better |
5599s | position cuz they're going to hit |
5600s | ultimates first and if they win that |
5602s | fight they're going to be able to delay |
5604s | Michael wave from being able to touch |
5605s | again to even trigger into overtime |
5608s | granting them the full fight and map win |
5610s | it is so smart from this team it is I |
5614s | mean 100% I agree like just what snaz |
5616s | was doing at the very end there was huge |
5617s | but you know not to be a Negative Nancy |
5620s | here I can't feel I can't help but feel |
5622s | like Michael wave kind of tossed some of |
5623s | these team fights MOX he just felt like |
5626s | they had a lot of these team fight wins |
5628s | you know point after point it seemed |
5629s | like they were having success and then |
5632s | you know either was it an ere extension |
5634s | once or twice uh Street died |
5637s | once what the |
5640s | heck CRA okay there you go that that's |
5643s | the big Difference Maker right this is |
5645s | the thing even when time Celestial lost |
5648s | fights they would still be able to kite |
5651s | out the repercussion so it wouldn't |
5653s | become that stagger where they lost so |
5655s | much point percentage and ultimate |
5656s | economy they would always if they lost a |
5658s | fight put themselves into a position |
5660s | where when the next fight began they |
5662s | were able to recover immediately as |
5664s | opposed to microwave who ironically got |
5667s | a little bit of a taste of their own |
5668s | medicine from King's roow they lost a |
5669s | fight and it spiraled into losing |
5671s | another and another and another yeah |
5673s | that's a good point and I think you know |
5675s | to to obviously point out the supports |
5676s | again looking at that healing in itself |
5679s | and comparatively to you know team to |
5681s | team it it's just so much more for |
5683s | Timeless ceso at the moment I mean mer |
5685s | and kqa really have been popping off |
5688s | right getting a lot of those heals on |
5690s | the other side right agmr was was |
5692s | getting a lot of damage but really what |
5694s | was that trading into nothing you know |
5696s | when you when you work when you look at |
5697s | the other side when Timeless gets as |
5699s | much healing off on their tanks as they |
5701s | were I mean it's just unkillable right |
5703s | it just feels like this team's |
5704s | unkillable also saving snar on those |
5705s | flanks like you said that was obviously |
5707s | on part due to |
5709s | sar's really good positioning but it was |
5711s | also because M could keep him alive yeah |
5714s | and a lot of the time they would be |
5715s | sending the M on the flank so the seran |
5717s | could stick closer to the Baptist to |
5718s | line up the overclock and the ampt |
5720s | Matrix so that even even if the May on |
5722s | the other side utilize that wall to try |
5724s | and defensively block off any impact |
5726s | from the B ultimate it was just burned |
5728s | and shredded in seconds and a lot of the |
5730s | time because of how quickly that soan is |
5732s | able to find the opening shot with |
5734s | overclock the wall doesn't even come up |
5735s | in time to be able to save someone and |
5737s | we saw that occur when Mari went down |
5739s | the second that amp and overclock came |
5741s | into |
5742s | play now we're going to espira that'll |
5744s | be our fourth map in this first to three |
5747s | so that means Timeless Celestial is on |
5749s | that map point to put themselves forward |
5751s | into to that loser bracket finals which |
5753s | would be huge for them considering how |
5755s | things have you know kind of gone |
5757s | throughout the tournament to kind of |
5758s | turn things around here against Micha |
5760s | wave who were a good team right I wonder |
5762s | if we see the Doom I wonder if we see |
5764s | the Doom of the Genji they took us to |
5766s | this map this is off of the back of |
5768s | having lost a mirror match up as well |
5770s | Dustin we did not see Mari swap onto the |
5772s | Orissa it was a straight up mirror match |
5774s | all the way through are we going to see |
5777s | a retreat back to the familiar for the |
5780s | doomfist Genji team |
5782s | I mean we definitely might um that was a |
5785s | bit I don't know about you but I feel |
5786s | like that was a bit of a panic squap for |
5787s | them cuz they were kind of getting |
5789s | getting dominated right it just felt |
5791s | like that was you know let's just do |
5793s | this see what happens here um the thing |
5795s | was they weren't getting dominated they |
5797s | were really able to hold our own we were |
5799s | seeing the the tank cycle come through |
5802s | remember this was off of the back of of |
5804s | flash point where they actually forc |
5806s | Timeless aerial into swapping into |
5809s | bending the knee and actually cycling |
5811s | through time tring Swap all the Run |
5813s | that's a good point I think that uh in |
5815s | this particular map you could probably |
5817s | run it however you know like you said I |
5819s | I was think another game Sorry that was |
5820s | a bit of a mistake on my part I feel |
5822s | like that doomfist composition really |
5824s | just doesn't have a place in the current |
5826s | meta what do you think Moxy on that it |
5827s | just it does seem like it's like it was |
5830s | their plan don't like don't get me wrong |
5832s | it definitely was their plan I just |
5833s | don't know in the current situation the |
5834s | current patch and the current meta that |
5835s | we're playing that it really can do much |
5837s | versus some of these top teams yeah so |
5839s | there are two factss I could see |
5841s | microwave utilizing to take us to this |
5844s | push map one they do want to fully |
5846s | commit onto the deist Genji or two |
5849s | they're hoping that just like us taking |
5851s | it to this map especially having ran the |
5854s | doomfist and Genji up against another |
5856s | timer team yesterday they're hoping that |
5858s | Celestial are scratching their heads and |
5860s | trying to figure out whether or not it |
5862s | is going to be a dius Genji or whether |
5864s | or not it's going to be the mirror again |
5866s | because if they come out on the wrong |
5868s | composition if they call it wrong and |
5870s | run something like a CUO in anticipation |
5872s | of the anti nades they're going to be at |
5874s | a significant disadvantage when it comes |
5877s | to that first fight and push the first |
5879s | fight and the last fight are always the |
5881s | most important fights on the entire |
5885s | map as brancha a map that do you like |
5888s | playing this map Moxy you want to do you |
5890s | like playing these like divy comps that |
5892s | for example you know microwave likes to |
5894s | run it's kind of weird they like to run |
5895s | that comp too isn't cuz the entire point |
5897s | they're called microwave is because |
5899s | microwave right it's not because this |
5901s | guy named Michael was waving at somebody |
5903s | you know it's interesting they don't run |
5905s | like the symmetra or something you know |
5907s | considering that's their team name not |
5908s | that symmetra's good right now um but |
5911s | yeah I don't know I know this map is |
5913s | definitely an interesting one to just |
5914s | run full dive I feel like that's the |
5915s | opposite of what they're what they stand |
5917s | for as a team you know I feel like it's |
5918s | the safest one of the push maps to be |
5920s | able to run dive though especially with |
5922s | that High Ground ledge up over on bridge |
5924s | if you have control of that spacing |
5925s | shelving and Anna on that position just |
5928s | makes it so much harder for that support |
5930s | to be run onto |
5933s | points we'll see if they want to decide |
5934s | to do it obviously mari's a great tank |
5936s | right like Mari has that in the hero |
5939s | pool to just play basically every single |
5941s | one drunker Queen doomfist every every |
5944s | character that could potentially be in |
5945s | the meta meanwhile for time of celestial |
5947s | they just pretty much rock that ratra |
5949s | comp the entire time with Street Lord |
5951s | right it feels like |
5954s | oh there it |
5956s | is all right we don't know if they're |
5959s | fully committing onto it it does look |
5960s | like this is a comp position that |
5961s | they're going to come out with look at |
5962s | to the celestial though I think we're |
5965s | going to see the swap but potentially |
5967s | the m is actually going to stick with |
5968s | the KIRO they think that the doom and |
5971s | Genji is going to come through and they |
5972s | call it |
5976s | correctly see if it counter is what |
5978s | Michael wave is trying to do there's no |
5980s | there's no anti there's there's no anti |
5983s | to be able to initiate the dive because |
5984s | the suu is immediately going to be that |
5986s | worse titless Celestial are running a |
5988s | composition that is so hard to dive onto |
5990s | everyone is incredibly mobile you don't |
5992s | want to dive onto the Jun Queen you |
5993s | can't dive onto the back line who does |
5996s | Michael wave go |
5997s | after I don't know I mean what like the |
5999s | Lucio I guess or that sojourn after |
6002s | using a cool down maybe even Street Lord |
6005s | we'll have to wait and see it does seem |
6006s | like theu kind of counters the idea of |
6008s | what Michael wave trying to do but now |
6010s | they go early on to Street Lord just to |
6011s | for some pressure wait for ajar to get |
6014s | those an grenades like we saw yesterday |
6016s | we'll see if they want to play a little |
6016s | bit more proactive though they always |
6017s | ping where this Anna is right so as long |
6019s | as they know where the Anna is they |
6020s | can't get hit by corre I mean it just |
6022s | feels like it's easy to avoid it Ian |
6025s | we're going to see Zoe start to try and |
6026s | take that forward position and just |
6027s | frighten a little bit of that spacing |
6029s | not allowing time with Celestial be able |
6031s | to walk onto these supports but we're |
6034s | just at an absolute stal me at the |
6036s | moment nanab is Boing up for ajm on now |
6038s | we're going to see the ant but it |
6039s | doesn't connect it actually does it |
6041s | connects onto Street Lord but it's |
6042s | immediately going to be cleansed doesn't |
6044s | matter and now AGR seeing ghosts and the |
6047s | ghost name is sosar and a removed from |
6049s | the lobby no more anate avable Wicket |
6051s | goes down I mean this is an absolute |
6054s | disaster for microwave at the moment |
6055s | because not only did they lose the first |
6057s | fight but they're getting counter comom |
6059s | yeah I theorized it was a little bit too |
6061s | predictable they take us to this map |
6064s | after losing a mirror match the doomfist |
6066s | and the Genji is going to be inevitable |
6067s | and time Celestial read it out now we're |
6070s | going to see swaps come through Michael |
6072s | wave off of the doomfist onto the Jun |
6073s | Queen Zoe going to be sticking on the |
6075s | geni to be able to infiltrate into the |
6076s | back line just the same way it's |
6077s | smalller is those two DVS going to have |
6079s | to keep each other in check the safety |
6081s | to that backl but losing that first |
6083s | fight is huge for Michael wave Celestial |
6086s | already getting ahead in terms of not |
6087s | just the AL because they forc swaps but |
6090s | also the distance picked up poking out |
6093s | sasar for forcing that Tracer away for |
6096s | now zoing now looking toward Street Lord |
6099s | but that pressure is happening on so all |
6100s | the while forcing a lot of cool Downs |
6102s | meanwhile Street Lord now backs out out |
6104s | of the banar's got the pulse obviously |
6106s | suzu is still in play so no matter even |
6108s | if you get the pulse B off you could |
6109s | live through this bad boy Bard just kind |
6112s | of playing it slow waiting for that soj |
6114s | pressuring |
6115s | out that soj to force forward now aay |
6118s | from the top with the overclock did they |
6119s | find any kills Yes W will go down no |
6122s | more Lucio available speed removed soe |
6124s | also just without any ultimate trying to |
6126s | find some kills that also finds kway |
6128s | though without any ultimates so both |
6130s | Lucio remov forcing this katun rush now |
6132s | out of Mer so at least Mich wave getting |
6134s | some ultimates in an even team fight did |
6137s | they lose anybody though pulse bomb |
6138s | almost committed by the way from Star to |
6139s | no avail now comes forward to that yet |
6141s | again W has to deal with this Tracer |
6143s | it's so hard though to live when snar is |
6145s | playing as well as they are on that |
6148s | character and also makes to the make a |
6149s | health pack so no death there for that |
6151s | Tracer in time of celestial they're just |
6153s | making this painful for microwave at the |
6155s | moment yeah microwave coming up the |
6157s | blade but because they're having to play |
6158s | the Lucio of the Jun they're not going |
6160s | to have nanog to put that extra o behind |
6162s | it now we can see the rush come through |
6164s | from ajmr but Thomas Celestial just kite |
6166s | around it l we gets spotted out looks |
6169s | for the dash to be able to push some of |
6170s | those Health BS enough maybe you can |
6172s | follow up with the blade into a kill |
6174s | death's going to actually utilize the |
6175s | opportunity to get into position with |
6177s | the overclock with the Ste from kqa |
6179s | saves everyone rampage now cutting on |
6181s | through connects on to Zoe time last new |
6184s | without the sound again she would be |
6186s | flopping at the mou for the blade to |
6188s | come on out anticipate the move and |
6191s | catch with the Rampage it's just time of |
6194s | celestial really are good at playing the |
6196s | safe style right just waiting out you |
6198s | know not overc committing ultimate |
6200s | Street Lord waiting to the last second |
6201s | to commit that ultimate as well and now |
6203s | they get the checkpoint here marked see |
6205s | 6 minutes left on the clock the future |
6207s | is it's insane the fact that they were |
6209s | able to accurately predict how Michael |
6211s | wave are going to play off of all of the |
6213s | ultimates that come out as well as the |
6214s | spacing too it is no easy feak to be |
6217s | able to connect a rampage onto a blading |
6220s | Dash resetting Genji but street is able |
6222s | to do so snla Wick his position forces |
6227s | the spacing and the sound bar from the |
6229s | Lucio to try and save from the |
6231s | detonation of the pulse |
6233s | bomb well we're getting saved with a |
6235s | pause at the moment between both teams I |
6238s | mean luckily it was nobody died just yet |
6241s | or anything like it's not like it was a |
6242s | little bit of a dicey situation okay but |
6244s | we have to figure that out what goes on |
6245s | behind the scenes up to you guys in a |
6247s | second a beat drop obviously use P spom |
6250s | using that fight Moxy one for one trade |
6252s | you have to feel decent if your snos |
6254s | there right cuz you probably forced that |
6255s | suzu and the beat drop and now you're |
6257s | feeling good going into this fight right |
6259s | oh 100% you're incredibly happy about |
6261s | that I mean how are you going to be able |
6264s | to sustain like you said the S Bar has |
6267s | already come and gone it's off of the |
6268s | back of a tracer as well so everyone |
6270s | from time to Celestial are going to be |
6272s | in a better position to just kite away |
6275s | from the aggression that microwave try |
6276s | and utilize this sound bar for they know |
6279s | that they burned it too early they're |
6281s | going to have to try and capitalize on |
6282s | it in any shape they can and that means |
6285s | getting aggressive something that this |
6286s | team know incredibly well but because |
6288s | it's a tracer instead of pressure coming |
6290s | from through from a tank in a one versus |
6292s | one everyone from time Celestial going |
6294s | to be so far away that microwave are |
6297s | going to lose a huge chunk of the same |
6299s | barrier up time just getting into |
6301s | position to be able to play off of it |
6303s | and to me it feels like Moxy see let me |
6306s | see if you're getting a similar read |
6307s | that it just they're always in the back |
6308s | foot microwave is right it just it's |
6310s | constant pressure onto them as it looks |
6313s | like we've figured out what's going on |
6315s | here but yeah look I mean microwave have |
6317s | some ultimates already used them early |
6319s | you know do Timeless commit there consun |
6321s | a rush in this fight even like when Mari |
6324s | goes aggressive with the with the uh |
6326s | with the well Mari cono aggressive is |
6328s | the thing you have to wait the |
6331s | suzu comes through the back side already |
6334s | used just immed taking advantage of the |
6336s | unpaused time kqa will find Death SAR |
6339s | eventually comes back everybody tries to |
6340s | dodge through that ultimate from like |
6343s | subari who were able to find one Zoe |
6345s | also connects on azer so that was |
6347s | actually a very good ultimate from Mari |
6350s | in the situation now time of Leal right |
6352s | they do have some Stager players in |
6355s | microwave have control of the robot yeah |
6356s | we're going to see overclock for azer so |
6359s | offensive capability for offensive |
6360s | capability with ajmr also getting into |
6363s | that kit Rush on the side of microwave |
6365s | both of those ultimates can be used to |
6366s | just threaten the space of the other |
6368s | speaking about threatening the space of |
6369s | the other smalller and death potentially |
6371s | going into a one versus one as a is |
6373s | going to pop the overlocked going to see |
6375s | Michael wave counter with the K but goes |
6379s | down and time SL just get to swarm onto |
6382s | a team who do not have that tank Health |
6384s | to absorb all of the damage when the |
6386s | soan all continues fantastic shots from |
6388s | AZ right there and without death yeah I |
6390s | mean like you can't really compete |
6392s | against that SN is just gatekeeping at |
6395s | the moment she's spawn camping a soier |
6397s | no that's run 62% on the board they |
6401s | already have the checkpoint by the way |
6402s | too from earlier time is Celestial don't |
6404s | have any ultimates obviously besides |
6405s | that JQ but neither does Michael |
6408s | enemies on the ram okay I mean that |
6411s | surely should work out for them however |
6412s | you know they don't have that b in that |
6414s | composition so we'll see if that is a |
6416s | hindrance in this situation meanwhile |
6418s | time Celestial they give up some of that |
6419s | space wall already used stop Street Lord |
6423s | from falling back but all the heals are |
6424s | here and the suzu can't get the kill |
6427s | through that either microwave want to |
6429s | keep going forward right they have a lot |
6430s | of that space kind of celestial now they |
6432s | I mean they have the space to work with |
6434s | too though Over The High Ground they can |
6435s | just build up those ultimates and pulse |
6436s | bomb has been built agmr has to run away |
6440s | not used to just yet either because has |
6442s | that pulse you have to use it just for |
6443s | that however bit of a whiff on the pul |
6445s | following this situation microwave go |
6446s | low on the front line Street Lord comes |
6448s | through wer falls down before the beat |
6450s | could even be built oh no that could |
6452s | have been a turning point for M wave and |
6454s | now time of sles just clean up and keep |
6456s | this robot pushing forward Target focus |
6459s | on point there's a reason that snaz is |
6461s | chasing a harder to hit Lucio it's |
6464s | because the message had gone through all |
6466s | of the Cs of time is Celestial this |
6468s | Lucio needs to go wicker cannot be allow |
6471s | to land that sound barrier and as a |
6473s | result both the Tracer and the junko |
6475s | queen will collaborate to be able to |
6478s | take quick before her ultimate like you |
6479s | said can be built to turn the fight |
6481s | around that was the Turning Point |
6483s | Michael wave needed and now time |
6485s | Celestial have the means of being able |
6486s | to C out all of the ultimates for the |
6488s | come through nearly 90 m b a also finds |
6491s | the opening pick SN there on the death |
6493s | cun rush and beat drop on top of it in |
6496s | microw wave are being eviscerated on the |
6498s | robot at the moment Timeless again team |
6501s | fight win a doesn't even need to pop the |
6503s | overclock it's just K Russi sound where |
6505s | I utilize both support ultimates coming |
6507s | through from Timeless elal side a very |
6509s | fast fight so fast in fact that Wicket |
6511s | is just not able to utilize that sire as |
6513s | result will hold on to it as yet again |
6515s | SN being an absolute Menace in the back |
6518s | line and forcing microwave to turn |
6520s | around so that a gets even more space |
6522s | they why are they not even dealing with |
6524s | S I guess that's why now wo was able to |
6526s | find Street Lord just look for that JQ |
6528s | but now snar Lucio looking for more in |
6531s | the back luckily for Michael wave |
6533s | they're able to find the kills necessary |
6535s | to finally ignore and then kill snaz but |
6538s | they have so much meters so many meters |
6540s | to to make up now Moxy yeah there's a |
6542s | reason like you said they ignore the |
6543s | Tracer they know that pulse bomb was |
6545s | used in the last fight right so Sosa's |
6547s | not going to have it available which |
6549s | means it's just pulse pistol damages |
6551s | coming through the much bigger threed is |
6553s | the sojan with the ultimate that |
6554s | microwave no hasing that killing |
6556s | potential with how close time the ly w |
6558s | at the Finish Line microwave could not |
6559s | afford to lose that fight now they're |
6561s | going to have two ultimates to be able |
6563s | to start this next one but again t |
6564s | celester with the mobility on these |
6566s | Heroes have the means of being able to |
6568s | work around it death trying to duel this |
6572s | kuo in the backside while soe actually |
6574s | finds snar so nice shot from the May |
6576s | player of Michael wave see if they can |
6579s | capitalize offord obviously has built up |
6581s | towards the old but it doesn't matter |
6583s | when death hits the shot on the azer |
6585s | surely forcing a reset out now from time |
6587s | to Celestial without NE yeah I like this |
6590s | the restraint coming through from |
6591s | Michael wave they understand that t just |
6593s | have too much movement to be able to |
6595s | play around things like the blizzard and |
6596s | the annihilation instead they're going |
6598s | to hold on to it until the fight goes to |
6599s | the objective where you're going to be |
6600s | able to catch far more players taking it |
6603s | to the neutral time L things like that |
6605s | Tracer Lucio and are a lot more fragile |
6608s | as straight up onto The High Ground |
6610s | precious Mor of the |
6612s | angle immediately comes in with the |
6614s | ultimate finds wi soe though gets one |
6616s | and then also drops that blizzard off |
6617s | however sosler finds Mori de get a |
6620s | crucial kill on the street Lord there as |
6622s | well and microwave did get the robot |
6624s | stolen for them and it's actually going |
6625s | quite far with no time left they're not |
6628s | building any to any time or meters at |
6630s | all because of sn's little sneaky |
6633s | play we need to put bells on snaza to be |
6636s | able to track her position every time we |
6639s | see that overhead P she's somewhere |
6641s | where she's not supposed to be and that |
6643s | has to be so frustrating for mic wave |
6644s | cuz like you said they were able to turn |
6646s | that fight around off of the back of the |
6648s | blizzard and follow up from death and |
6650s | now is a result they have so much more |
6651s | distance to be to make |
6653s | up now get engaged upon by a katun rush |
6656s | from ajmr Street Lord trying to avoid K |
6660s | in this fight counter Rush from mer |
6662s | early suzu as well abili back back very |
6666s | quickly death over the top side with the |
6668s | overclock looking for some kills but |
6670s | it's inact Zoe to find another one who |
6672s | has been crucial so far in a lot of |
6674s | these overtime situations see if mik |
6676s | wave continue It Forward looks like they |
6678s | find Street Lord snar sitting with the |
6679s | pulse bomb avail |
6681s | proba doesn't want to use it just go and |
6683s | reset overtime takes down now Michael |
6685s | wave they've got 60 me to make up for |
6688s | from Timeless Celestial who have SS in |
6689s | the bank yeah that is unfortunately more |
6692s | than one fight that microwave are going |
6694s | to have to see themselves through |
6696s | Annihilation can come into play but KIRO |
6698s | and Lucio are incredibly fragile and S |
6701s | is not available something that time |
6703s | know incredibly well snla again Bells |
6706s | attach to the Tracer please especially |
6708s | for Michael wave of supports they have |
6710s | to be able to check this tracer's |
6711s | position so that the pulse bom doesn't |
6713s | find the target W so smart challenge |
6716s | that Tracer let see does this pulse bom |
6718s | connect though I mean Timeless Le you'll |
6720s | have everything in the |
6722s | bank it's up to so or dead to find the |
6725s | opening kill but the bull bomb it |
6726s | connects no suu to save death and |
6730s | unfortunately that could be the end of |
6732s | Michael wave with the beat drop as well |
6734s | Mari tries to commit the annihilation |
6736s | they could potentially find the kills |
6737s | here but no it eventually gets gets ran |
6739s | out right the it's no longer Here and |
6741s | Now from the inside Jun goes with the |
6743s | suzu oh my God the Rampage can't find |
6746s | anything because of it what a nice suzu |
6748s | from ajmr in that situation so he finds |
6750s | azere no way Michael wave have worked |
6752s | themselves back into this with the |
6754s | katune rush Treet Lord able to find zoy |
6756s | that could be huge but they eventually |
6758s | take Street Lord down they built up the |
6760s | beat drop as well and this robot ain't |
6762s | stopping they're getting up to 100 m and |
6764s | closing Michel wave could bring us to |
6766s | that mountain number five snar gets |
6768s | staggered it's almost here right at the |
6771s | very end they just need 12 more met to |
6773s | go Timeless swapping into some really |
6775s | fast compositions doomfist is here to |
6778s | try to touch last second for less than a |
6780s | met to go ATR finds azra Sombra removed |
6783s | from the game suu to keep tree Lord |
6785s | alive just for a bit longer pushes him |
6787s | off the robot able to find agmr all the |
6789s | healing is gone for microwave all of a |
6791s | sudden they might fall apart Street Lord |
6793s | will go down continue rushes here Asar |
6795s | back towards the spawn on Widowmaker to |
6797s | help support snar trying to find |
6799s | anything Mari trying to close it out |
6801s | this is absolute hectic what is going on |
6804s | microwave trying to close it out as R |
6806s | finds death and somehow after losing |
6808s | their kuo Michael wave will force a at |
6811s | five what an |
6814s | overtime what an absolute |
6817s | emotional roller coaster it all starts |
6820s | like you said with that Rampage which |
6821s | would have been huge but it gets suzu as |
6825s | the Jun Queen sails through the entirety |
6827s | of the team and then even worse for |
6829s | celestial to have to recover from your |
6831s | Jun Queen gets walled away from the rest |
6833s | of your team and as a result Michel wave |
6836s | were able to come in with those couple |
6838s | of picks so that they have the time |
6840s | necessary that little bubble of safety |
6842s | for Wicked to be able to bull that last |
6844s | necessary percentage to coming to the |
6846s | sound barer even though you're lacking |
6847s | the KIRO the Lucio has the means of |
6850s | keeping everyone up and alive for the |
6851s | ultimate the KIRO is able to come back |
6853s | incredibly quickly because of the switch |
6854s | that mechanic and as a result we see the |
6857s | Panic come through from Celestial it |
6859s | looks for a minute when we see the |
6862s | doomfest punch in and connect onto two |
6864s | players of Michael wave not just |
6867s | connecting but slamming them into the |
6869s | backside of bus shelter doing even more |
6872s | damage because of that connection that |
6874s | you would have been able to turn the |
6876s | fight around that street would have been |
6877s | able to find the kills necessary with |
6879s | Celestial being so much closer in |
6882s | regards to those respawn points but the |
6884s | kills do not come through Michael wer |
6887s | able to regroup and reform dealing with |
6890s | with the stagers making sure to see the |
6891s | Sombra out before turning around and |
6893s | dealing with the |
6894s | Doom Moxy I had to retire after that one |
6897s | honestly that was that was an insane |
6900s | last fight what a what a close out from |
6902s | Michael wave right we talk about you |
6904s | know the lights potentially being too |
6905s | bright for a lot of these teams neither |
6907s | team seems to be backing down at the |
6909s | moment right snar is doing these crazy |
6911s | crazy things on the backside and that |
6913s | ends up not working out for them right |
6915s | if we just take a look at the stats |
6916s | alone I mean what a game it's been for |
6919s | Michael wave to come back from right it |
6921s | was so close it was so they had so much |
6923s | they had like 60 70 so much distance to |
6926s | be able to to recoup and the thing as |
6928s | well is that overtime would have been so |
6930s | much easier if Midway through the map |
6933s | they hadn't allowed snla to walk away |
6935s | with the objective in fact they could |
6937s | have lost the map potentially off of an |
6940s | allowing snla to be able to make a way |
6942s | with that Heist as it is however they're |
6944s | able to find the recovery even making |
6947s | sure that yes they do lose the sojan to |
6949s | the pulse |
6950s | unfortunately when that fight probably |
6952s | kicks on off but a lot of the time |
6954s | they're more Vigilant of things like the |
6956s | Rampage pulse is potentially going to |
6957s | get one person but Rampage and the anti |
6959s | need connecting onto so many of those |
6961s | players who are forced to take that low |
6963s | fight to be able to throw themselves |
6964s | onto the objective and keep overtime |
6966s | burning if someone else goes down making |
6969s | them even more vulnerable to the Jun |
6971s | Queen Al really pushes them into holding |
6973s | on that suu sacrificing that player so |
6976s | that later on the suzu is going to have |
6977s | more value great stuffer them really |
6980s | just getting to see the bigger picture |
6982s | understanding that they need to keep a |
6984s | hold of those crucial abilities so that |
6986s | even if they start falling apart they're |
6989s | able to pick up the pieces and recover |
6991s | and we go to map five map five indeed |
6995s | but before that obviously we need a bit |
6997s | of a break the players need a bit of a |
6998s | break a bit of a reset before that final |
7000s | map the first map five of our playoffs |
7002s | guys so don't go anywhere we'll be right |
7003s | back after |
7008s | this |
7018s | [Music] |
7025s | [Music] |
7038s | for |
7041s | [Music] |
7077s | [Music] |
7128s | oh |
7147s | [Music] |
7154s | [Music] |
7158s | he |
7166s | [Music] |
7181s | [Music] |
7189s | well welcome back everybody to the |
7190s | calling o Heroes championship series |
7192s | we're in that lower bracket near finals |
7194s | uh what a series that we have in our |
7196s | hands Moxy we're entering that M five |
7198s | now um can you kind of break down for |
7200s | everybody what's happening in the series |
7202s | between Timeless Celestial and microwave |
7203s | because that last map was incredibly |
7205s | hectic I mean it's it's it's just stress |
7209s | is what's been happening between these |
7210s | two teams heart rate monitor through the |
7213s | absolute roof every single time Michael |
7216s | wave turn a corner they're having to |
7217s | constantly watch their backs against |
7219s | sosla who plays Tracer even if she's on |
7221s | the Main and then when we head into push |
7223s | we we I was really worried I'm not going |
7226s | to lie when I saw the Genji when I saw |
7227s | the doom and we immediately saw Timeless |
7230s | rolling out in the kir I was like oh |
7231s | this dive is not going to go well I |
7234s | really hope that they see that and they |
7236s | admit defeat and they move away from it |
7238s | and that is what we saw the moment of |
7240s | recovery come through from this team the |
7242s | lesson that they got taught yesterday |
7244s | when they landed themselves into the |
7245s | lower bracket they learned it they |
7247s | swapped off of the Genji they swapped |
7249s | off of of the dest they brought |
7250s | something new to the table with the |
7252s | ratra and off of the ratra they were |
7254s | able to finish and finalize out that |
7257s | fight because when agmr went down and |
7259s | that remat was left I was like oh no and |
7261s | you were like oh no and c was like oh no |
7264s | everyone I was like oh this is curtains |
7267s | but no ratra is just too good at self |
7270s | sustain and Mari is able to take out |
7272s | like three players with PML really |
7274s | really quickly which is huge cuz it |
7275s | means that azra who swapped onto the |
7276s | Widow doesn't get into position to |
7278s | actually be able to utilize that pick |
7280s | and find a kill that could have swung |
7283s | those forward spawns for time of |
7284s | celestial immediately back into their |
7287s | favor now R cc6 is on our plates today |
7290s | Moxy ESP Pancha is done and dusted the |
7293s | likes of either microw wave or Timeless |
7296s | mix it up again you think on this map or |
7299s | is it all the way back to that ratra |
7300s | gameplay that we've seen previously on |
7302s | maps 1 2 and three I feel like this is |
7304s | really smart from time Celestial cuz |
7306s | this is dangling Comfort pick |
7310s | right in front of microwave because you |
7312s | can find value with the Genji there's a |
7315s | lot of High Ground Control that goes |
7316s | into being able to hold onto the defense |
7319s | Genji has the mobility with the dash to |
7321s | be able to jump from the low ground to |
7322s | The High Ground and pressure the back |
7324s | line into turning around there's also a |
7326s | lot of flank Avenues available to snla |
7329s | if she goes out on the M of the Tracer |
7331s | but this very much feels like Celestial |
7333s | trying to get microwave into a game of |
7335s | dive chicken and see whether or not they |
7337s | fall for it or whether not they continue |
7339s | running this |
7341s | ratra see what decide to pick here on |
7343s | Route 66 this is one of my favorite Maps |
7345s | I think Moxy just to to watch and mainly |
7348s | play maybe not watch as much so just |
7349s | play the map it's just a kind of fun map |
7352s | it's been in the it's it's almost like |
7353s | my King's Row I just kind of maybe it's |
7355s | cuz I'm American and you're British that |
7357s | maybe you think you like maybe King's |
7359s | Row is more so up your up we bias yeah |
7362s | yeah maybe there's a little bias there |
7364s | live in the desert anyway as a Brit I |
7365s | want to try and get as far away from |
7367s | London as possible like don't get me |
7369s | wrong I adore King's Row but seeing the |
7372s | rain especially with like the five |
7374s | concuss concurrent storms that we've had |
7377s | in the last three weeks take me anywhere |
7379s | I will go to Route 66 and live there |
7382s | quite happily with |
7384s | you until you see your first Scorpion |
7386s | and you freak out or something I I want |
7389s | to see what Scorpions No spiders yes you |
7392s | ever seen they they on Route C60 I think |
7394s | there's shops like this where you can |
7395s | get like scorpions and in uh lollipops |
7398s | you ever seen those wait like actual |
7400s | scorpions yes yeah they put scorpions |
7402s | and lollipops so you can eat live |
7404s | scorpions and lollipops yeah I actually |
7406s | have a story like I basically we had uh |
7408s | back when I play on the L of rain we had |
7410s | uh Doo and a bunch of other Korean |
7411s | players come over and as a funny gag |
7413s | gift I thought I'd buy them some and |
7415s | they all threw him away and like I was |
7416s | like they didn't tell me though like |
7418s | they had him on their desk and then the |
7419s | next day I looked him the garbage and |
7420s | all four of the pops like o Pops from |
7422s | the garbage I was like okay guys I |
7425s | appreciate that it was gag to be fair |
7427s | for a second I thought you meant like |
7429s | like there were actual live scorpions |
7431s | that had been like wrapped up and you |
7433s | had like a chance a one in 10 chance of |
7436s | picking like a scorpion it's is sort of |
7439s | like the the sort of version of picking |
7442s | the Short Straw you pick the lollipop |
7444s | that has a live Scorpion and have to go |
7446s | to a well the yeah the the short STW in |
7448s | this case is who gets the biggest |
7449s | scorpion and who gets like the tiny one |
7451s | like a little baby boy some of them |
7453s | sometimes they have little little kids |
7454s | on them you want the big Scorpions No |
7456s | you don't you want to avoid that you |
7458s | also could get a Mother's scorpion that |
7459s | has baby scorpions in it too it's anyway |
7461s | this is a very gross topic let's move on |
7463s | to microwave versus time Celestial this |
7466s | is honestly my fault but um what series |
7468s | we have now map number five and R 66 |
7472s | obviously time of celestial kind of |
7473s | hovering a meme composition potentially |
7476s | but microwave they want to rock with |
7477s | Marian and ratra yeah I'm really happy |
7479s | to see that they're going for the ram |
7481s | they're going for the May they're also |
7482s | going to try and hold pretty far forward |
7484s | up in train Carriage also on the hands |
7486s | is going to spot a DI however that is |
7488s | why we're seeing just the hands on now |
7490s | to use the Sonic spot out where the |
7491s | defenses if it isn't train Carriage |
7493s | before swapping after a little bit of |
7495s | pressure coming through from Scot Mar |
7497s | time to sa the world that swap obviously |
7500s | you know SN are back on the Tracer and |
7502s | you talked about it marxy in the green |
7504s | room but this is really one of sn's |
7507s | best also can see a z from kqa playing a |
7511s | lot closer to make it hard of the |
7513s | microwave to be able to run directly |
7515s | onto her but also using the Discord and |
7518s | the fact that you're the only Zen in the |
7520s | lobby so you're going to be doing so |
7521s | much more damage so much more pressure |
7523s | onto Mari on that rematch and as a |
7525s | result look at how far back Michael wave |
7527s | having to make sure that they split |
7529s | their front line and back well incoming |
7531s | dive I mean cool Down's used do they |
7533s | even yeah they're just going to take out |
7534s | street Lord but they do trade out Zoe at |
7536s | least definitely works out for them to |
7539s | something we also Discord aari |
7540s | eventually melts them and so far the |
7542s | zenyata is finding success in which we |
7545s | haven't seen in basically years trades |
7547s | work far better into the favor of the |
7549s | attacking team too because you regroup |
7551s | far faster with how closer your respawn |
7554s | is in comparison to the defense LOE |
7556s | actually going to be off of the May onto |
7559s | that Tracer there is no point in |
7560s | utilizing the May because there's |
7562s | nothing to be able to wall off Street's |
7564s | going to be able to jump out of it as R |
7565s | power lights M blinks instead now you |
7568s | have to try and keep a track of this |
7569s | tracer's location because pulse bomb is |
7571s | ready in AJR has to hold on to the |
7575s | morality Zoe by the way is onto that |
7577s | Tracer we've seen that yesterday see if |
7580s | I can deal with SN on this side pulse |
7582s | bomb used by snar but no kill on that |
7585s | side manab Bo committed by mer too so |
7587s | they want to continue this pressure on |
7589s | the microwave we were trying to rotate |
7591s | but maybe catch out so while that is |
7593s | happening from Street Lord very close |
7595s | the Primal range but goes so low those |
7597s | heals have been very good for Timeless |
7599s | Celestial though kqa also takes out Zoe |
7601s | oh my God to think we'd see zenyata play |
7604s | to this level this late in the |
7606s | tournament as well is really a trait to |
7608s | see also so a with that pressure able to |
7610s | find ajmr and slowly M wave are being |
7613s | melted away Transcendence as well bit of |
7615s | a dog man Trans in the situation don't |
7617s | know if it was necessary but at the end |
7618s | of the day ESS Celestial move on to |
7620s | second phase I mean mari's going to have |
7622s | the annihilation which is potentially |
7623s | the thing that you want to hold on to |
7625s | that transcend for but remember when the |
7627s | remat utilizes the ultimate you |
7628s | automatically go into the Nemesis form |
7630s | and what is Nemesis form but a walking |
7632s | hit box for a sleep that and laola on |
7634s | the an is going to be able to shut that |
7635s | one down |
7637s | immediately really nice to see like said |
7639s | traditional dive with the exception of |
7641s | that soan it very much does feel like |
7643s | we're back in the era of OverWatch one |
7645s | nanab boost being put onto the Winston |
7646s | to be able to pressure agmr into utilize |
7649s | the ant Matrix and actually agmr |
7651s | pressured off of the Baptist onto the |
7654s | K traded though on that side SN did take |
7657s | out death a lot of the damage now gone |
7659s | for Michael a beat drop here from wi |
7662s | continue the pressure street with that |
7664s | Primal Rage eventually suzu will slow |
7667s | Treet down heals can't save you for that |
7670s | though on the inside angle too tough to |
7672s | escape and that's kind of the win |
7673s | condition it feels like for mik wave is |
7674s | take out street Lord right yeah as a r |
7677s | is going to have a new win condition and |
7678s | that is overclock and Michael wave do |
7681s | not have the Baptist nor sber to be able |
7683s | to survive and sustain through it said |
7685s | is going to be up to Zoe who's able to |
7687s | shut down both of her opposing DPS and |
7691s | still hold on to the pulse but microw |
7693s | wave going to be in control of a choke |
7694s | and that is where D has always struggle |
7696s | to be able to Brute Force through when |
7698s | you do not have that space to be able to |
7700s | set the dive up onto the defending side |
7702s | as we're going to see Street Lord off of |
7703s | the Winston onto the junker Queen kqa |
7706s | onto the Luc they understand the dive |
7708s | has worn off they've been able to put a |
7710s | little bit of struggle onto Michael wave |
7712s | side but they've been able now to land |
7714s | on their feet as Zoe on her feet just |
7717s | crouching so that no one sees the |
7720s | Trac straight onto the |
7723s | Anna zo showing that they've got some |
7726s | nice Tracer chops too SAR got n boost in |
7728s | that fight just to go find something |
7731s | however assly m is going to swap over to |
7732s | the yeah both of these teams just seeing |
7736s | that the dive or the Tracer rather is |
7738s | just too potent for the Anna to be able |
7740s | to deal with worse if you have the Anna |
7742s | or Baptist you're constantly having to |
7744s | divert resources into being able to peel |
7746s | the Tracer off of them it is far better |
7748s | for the team overall health maybe you |
7750s | don't have the same burst heal potential |
7752s | but you also still can get to keep just |
7754s | sustaining that focus with the KIRO |
7757s | having the survivability by pulling all |
7759s | of those resources off of the tank is |
7761s | time Celestial no ultimates to work with |
7764s | s looking to find an infiltration into |
7766s | that back line she's being just capped |
7768s | in check now over clock from Death here |
7771s | on the inside angle towards the mega |
7772s | health pack little bit of poke damage |
7774s | come through no head shots though |
7775s | however HMR hits the head shot followup |
7778s | damage everybody is in the kill feed now |
7780s | for microwave a minute and 30 seconds |
7782s | left in the clock now for time Celestial |
7784s | yeah snla just not getting that free |
7785s | entrance to be able to divert attention |
7787s | away from the rest of the players on |
7789s | Celestial side is really problematic and |
7791s | you're actually going to see swap off of |
7792s | the Tracer onto the Genji looking to do |
7794s | the same thing but this time around if |
7795s | you get spotted out you do have things |
7797s | like not just the dash but also the |
7798s | defle to buy yourself a little bit of |
7800s | time so that your presence is felt a |
7802s | little bit more than the Tracer as kqa |
7805s | looks to try and speeding to Tunnel but |
7807s | that just leaves more vulnerable I mean |
7809s | this is a really really interesting |
7811s | match now I mean Mari found another two |
7813s | in this fight one minute left in the |
7815s | clock swaps happening on both SIDS |
7817s | continuously and Micha W keeps coming |
7819s | out on top it's really interesting to |
7821s | see one of the impacts of a very small |
7824s | change on this map the door still being |
7826s | left open makes it a lot harder for an |
7828s | attacking team to be able to sustain a |
7830s | lot of the Poke coming through if they |
7831s | decide to push through main as Zoe |
7834s | definely not a main at the moment all |
7835s | the way in the back line yet again |
7837s | trying to just divert this distraction |
7840s | away from T Celestial so that they don't |
7842s | get to work fre from that man finds the |
7845s | Baptist will only find the lamp but |
7847s | that's the go time for the rest of the |
7848s | team claps RAR will find Zoe too I mean |
7851s | just tracked down that Tracer the whole |
7853s | time and then came back under Dan 24 |
7856s | seconds left Timeless Celestial finally |
7857s | found some Advantage Rampage going to be |
7860s | available overclock and sound barrier |
7862s | all on line what Timeless Celestial it's |
7865s | microwave Zoe onto the Genji to be able |
7867s | to tap and also put that little bit more |
7869s | pressure onto the mull who's going to |
7871s | want to try and play from that highr |
7873s | angle harder for the Trac to be able to |
7874s | collapse onto a street Lord Waits with |
7876s | the Rampage connect on to all of the |
7877s | players regrouping |
7880s | 3 seconds left to overtime now it taks |
7881s | down Zoe out the right side who is now |
7883s | onto the Genji match overclock over the |
7887s | top are they uncontested though for now |
7890s | it appears that yes a is uncontested but |
7892s | is not finding the kills just it Rampage |
7895s | connect flush however there's a beat |
7896s | drop on the top now there's a rampage |
7898s | from Mari pulled back in fact toward |
7900s | Street Lord to make sure that it doesn't |
7902s | find any value on towards his backline |
7905s | but Street Lord will go down to death |
7907s | that's absolutely huge time of SEL still |
7908s | needing that tank alive snar may not |
7910s | even be able to build that Genji blade |
7912s | which could turn things more able to |
7914s | find soe though however there might just |
7916s | be too much damage here now too many |
7918s | members on the side of microwave alive |
7920s | overtime will take down and eventually |
7922s | time and Celestial will get stopped in |
7923s | sh's face yeah yet again the raater just |
7925s | gets to Trump the junle queen in terms |
7927s | of that sustainability in these overtime |
7930s | locations where you're able to come in |
7932s | with the p can connect on to everyone |
7933s | who's not able to K out around you the |
7936s | backl constantly having to be pulled |
7938s | into that Focus as well by all of the |
7940s | changes coming on through from the |
7942s | defense diverting attention off of |
7943s | healing that tank and getting into a |
7945s | position they had that starting moment |
7948s | where they've got the overclock and |
7949s | they're having unfortunately to utilize |
7950s | it before the contest properly comes |
7953s | into full and unfortunately because |
7955s | you're also overclocking directly into a |
7957s | ratra who's also on the low ground not |
7959s | only does Mari have just the tank pick |
7962s | to be able to survive it solo without |
7965s | putting her supports into line of fire |
7968s | it it means that time will lose one of |
7970s | their biggest win conditions in terms of |
7972s | damage to actually be able to pick up |
7973s | the kills for the rat to |
7976s | fall now time of celestial interestingly |
7980s | enough Moxy they want to rock back out |
7983s | with Street Lord on the Winston again |
7986s | like on their attacking side yeah we |
7988s | talked about it right time Celestial |
7990s | taking us to Route 66 this is one of |
7992s | those Maps where there's a lot of focus |
7994s | on high gr there's a lot of space and |
7995s | positions for that Winston to be able to |
7997s | jump into the backline so that if a |
7999s | ratra directly runs at a team you're |
8002s | constantly diverting and pushing the |
8004s | raater into making the decision do you |
8006s | push the aggression or do you have to |
8008s | fall back and peel because ratra as a |
8010s | tank isn't the greatest about being able |
8012s | to peel you don't have something like |
8013s | the sigma of the creation where you can |
8015s | rock behind you you always have to |
8017s | divert your attention from the front |
8018s | line fight to the back and that leaves |
8020s | you vulnerable to things like the |
8022s | soldier lot of space given for now from |
8026s | Timeless waiting towards this kind of |
8028s | first |
8030s | section back obviously back on the trace |
8032s | for soe on their own as well taking some |
8036s | on the right side death waiting with |
8037s | that rail gun shot hits tank on The High |
8040s | Ground and for now or hits hits a tanky |
8043s | character I would say on The High Ground |
8044s | now meanwhile Street Lord forc use that |
8046s | bubble now jumps back towards the top |
8048s | side to get some of that healing build |
8049s | towards that nanab boost that timeus |
8051s | Celestial surely trying to engage with |
8053s | yeah de getting that position on The |
8054s | High Ground as well to contest Ty |
8056s | Celestial on the cling but Zoe gets |
8059s | brought down by sosla that tra gets a |
8062s | free angle into the backline and look at |
8064s | the attention that Michael wave |
8065s | immediately have to divert to try and |
8067s | deal with ooh noar will go down towards |
8070s | the cart though I mean that's huge for |
8072s | the likes of Michel wave also anti |
8074s | grenade came through on agmr but agmr |
8075s | eventually gets that regenerator burst |
8077s | back and with the imortality field |
8078s | stayed alive and look where that c is |
8080s | it's just continuously pushing all the |
8082s | while a lot of shots coming through from |
8084s | Death in the rest of Michael wave yeah s |
8086s | wasn't able to find I a Kill dra the |
8089s | immortality from ajmr as a result when |
8091s | stre goes for the dive you have to |
8093s | immediately pull back as death just gets |
8095s | to pull up so much percentage of the |
8097s | real Al fire and lands directly onto M |
8100s | before the Nano boost can enable the |
8101s | next dive what a shot and I don't know |
8104s | how Mar didn't die earlier on either |
8105s | death now finds two in that fight rail |
8108s | gun or overclock built as well doesn't |
8110s | even need it 3K in this fight midair |
8112s | shot for death kind of showing off at |
8114s | this point pulse bomb used by snar maybe |
8116s | that signals a swap Genji you know |
8120s | potentially geni potentially May |
8122s | something that's going to be finding a |
8123s | little bit more value the thing is they |
8126s | needed M alive in that fight as zo |
8129s | knowing that the an is going to be |
8130s | playing next the Bri finds the pulse one |
8132s | but only catches The Shield oh that |
8134s | could have been dicey if both supports |
8136s | went |
8137s | down nice block by kqa however in that |
8140s | fight still here a uses it with the N |
8144s | boost on the long at alongside Street |
8146s | Lord over the top who also has that |
8148s | Primal Rage in case they go low beat |
8150s | drop and trade will take that if your |
8152s | microwave it looks like they're just |
8154s | playing it slow waiting to push through |
8155s | four minutes left now on the clock they |
8156s | have so much timing to work with Baptist |
8159s | uses the amplification to walk out of |
8160s | the upper caves but when you have a wind |
8162s | on your face it's very hard to live |
8164s | death does trade back snos however at |
8167s | this point mer and with the pressure of |
8168s | Street Lord able to get more kills more |
8170s | damage Down Range Death is super low so |
8172s | that's another reset for Michael wi yeah |
8174s | gorgeous Primal from straight denying |
8176s | the usage of the amp entirely M wave |
8178s | wanting to be able to set up a split |
8180s | Focus so that the dive was forced to |
8183s | dealing with multiple angles fact |
8186s | wouldn't even be able to play that |
8187s | aggressive because they constantly |
8188s | having to turn backwards and help out |
8190s | the Anna all of that gets entirely |
8192s | derailed as de coming into this next |
8194s | fight with the overclock time Celestial |
8196s | understanding this playing kqa |
8197s | Incredibly Close to the Anna with that |
8201s | Shield playing it slow at the moment |
8204s | that's to already find Street Lord |
8205s | though I mean went too aggressive I |
8207s | guess towards the towards the low ground |
8209s | got wiped out by death who doesn't miss |
8211s | rally now used just to sustain but at |
8213s | this point you wait for ster to come |
8214s | back out of Spawn who swaps towards a |
8216s | doomfist so they will be back however |
8218s | now an ultimate has been used now |
8220s | Michael wave Tri to push this card |
8221s | they're still doing so however they lose |
8222s | wup meanwhile on the top side to mer who |
8225s | again has been doing so much on the Anna |
8227s | really has been one of the best flex |
8228s | supports in the tournament however Zoe |
8230s | trades back snar that low ground right |
8233s | it's a back and forth scenario anti |
8234s | grenade does get missed in this |
8236s | situation they could have used that as |
8237s | the C still pushes forward who goes to |
8239s | contested if the street Lord got to hope |
8242s | the healing is there now the damage is |
8244s | not there for microwave so with the PSE |
8245s | bomb ready to go the cart's almost at |
8247s | the checkpoint nobody's even here as the |
8249s | slides in they touch last second the |
8250s | annihilation does damage though snar |
8252s | able to find one street Lords touching |
8254s | over the top but so with her own pulse |
8255s | bomb has found mer the healing is gone |
8258s | and so is the rest of time is Celestial |
8260s | as microw wave against the odds have |
8262s | moved forward in the lower bracket |
8264s | finals Zoe's pulse bomb finds the higher |
8267s | value you target both tracers are able |
8270s | to net a kill but Zoe is able to deny |
8274s | not just the Anna's existence but also |
8276s | the potential for that Nano boost to go |
8278s | out onto the tank to be able to Anchor |
8281s | onto that payload find a regroup after I |
8284s | think it caught ESS a little bit |
8285s | unawares with how close that payload was |
8289s | actually moving closer and closer to |
8292s | that checkpoint as there was a panic |
8294s | moment where everyone on the defense had |
8296s | to sort of turn tail and go oh oh no he |
8298s | was so busy trying to control the Avenue |
8300s | of high ground and keep an is safe away |
8303s | from things like the Tracer and also |
8305s | Street having to come back in with that |
8307s | doomfist just to be able to regroup a |
8309s | little bit faster really unfortunately |
8311s | left this team unable to properly |
8313s | regroup and that is when Zoe was able to |
8315s | take full |
8316s | advantage I mean what a series what a |
8319s | way to end it to to steal the card at |
8321s | the very end Moxy I mean Michael wave |
8324s | you know they they came back multiple |
8326s | times last second |
8328s | I mean it could not be a closer closer |
8330s | comeback than Michel wave today yeah it |
8333s | was really good to see as well just the |
8335s | adaptation coming through from Michael |
8337s | wave they were seeing things like snla |
8339s | just being a nuisance in the backline |
8341s | but times they would acknowledge okay |
8344s | this is a threat that we have to deal |
8345s | with immediately and other times they |
8346s | would acknowledge this is just a |
8348s | distraction tactic there is no kill |
8350s | potential to this one of us can divert |
8352s | our attention away and deal with this |
8354s | problem but everyone else is free to |
8356s | just continue FOC focusing on something |
8358s | a little bit more important and that |
8361s | judgment just allowed them to have so |
8364s | much more confidence in terms of this |
8366s | space and when they wanted to properly |
8368s | push they didn't have to constantly |
8369s | think them second guess themselves and |
8371s | be like well if we commit an ultimate |
8373s | I'll we still going to find ourselves |
8375s | having to pull back and give up a fight |
8377s | because we're having to turn around |
8378s | since nozza is being so |
8381s | problematic and what a series on our |
8383s | hands here right or that just finished I |
8385s | should say we're going to break it down |
8387s | with unter and after a short break guys |
8389s | so don't go anywhere we'll be right |

8576s | Michael wave have bought themselves |
8578s | another life in this tournament |
8579s | unfortunately at the expense of a |
8581s | Timeless Celestial team that had a lot |
8584s | more fight in them than I think we |
8585s | thought a map five Banger and here to |
8587s | break it all down I've got Dogman and |
8589s | joining me live from Arlington Texas is |
8591s | the most Australian polar bear I've ever |
8593s | seen the man the myth the mullet it's |
8595s | uner welcome yeah I'm I'm a bit mullet |
8598s | free at the moment but you know |
8601s | aring yeah I lost it many months ago |
8604s | actually so it's it's a bit thin in the |
8606s | back but you know this actually the |
8607s | first time I actually the first time I |
8609s | saw your cam today so I didn't even know |
8610s | the mullet was gone I should have been |
8612s | updated all right that's on me all right |
8615s | well we can get him some extensions I |
8617s | think at the next break I think I I |
8619s | think we can make that one happen but |
8620s | for now let's go ahead and break down |
8622s | the game so you were talking a little |
8624s | bit in the chat about how there's a bit |
8625s | of a difference in play Styles between |
8627s | these two teams one being a little bit |
8629s | more calculated and one being a little |
8630s | bit more aggressive do you want to lead |
8632s | us through that yeah so when I was |
8635s | watching I realized that you know |
8636s | Michael wave and Thomas Celestial |
8638s | they're pretty much Polar Opposites in |
8639s | terms of how they want to play the game |
8641s | Michael wave their strategy it's all |
8643s | about creating chaos everyone is |
8645s | swinging super wide playing Super |
8646s | aggressively meanwhile on thas Celestial |
8648s | they're just going for the slow play all |
8650s | the time just trying to have their ratra |
8652s | hold the space in main have their |
8654s | surgeons sit in the back with the Lucio |
8655s | and the Baptist and just wait for the F |
8657s | to come to them the exception to that |
8658s | was snla where she likes to go for |
8661s | really aggressive flanks all of the time |
8663s | going behind using all of their May |
8665s | utility to try and essentially bait cool |
8667s | downs from people bait attention from |
8668s | people and then hopefully ESS Celestial |
8670s | can Edge their way forward in the front |
8671s | line but as you saw it didn't turn out |
8674s | you know so perfectly for them in the |
8676s | end not not quite but I mean I I do kind |
8679s | of want to talk a little bit about |
8681s | snarler cuz she was definitely a |
8682s | highlight for the side of Timeless |
8683s | Celestial and in the front half of the |
8685s | series we kind of felt like ESS |
8687s | celestial were in the driver seat and |
8688s | snaz was the one actually driving the |
8691s | whole ship Dogman would you agree with |
8693s | that yeah 100% I mean I feel like snar |
8696s | alongside I'm sure I'm sure you and Moxy |
8698s | both agreed too it's just was definitely |
8700s | that driving factor and you know on un's |
8703s | point that was if that's your whole game |
8704s | plan it's it's tough because I mean you |
8707s | need to play around a May player that's |
8708s | kind of your main caller and that's |
8711s | always going to be tough right that's |
8712s | always going to be hard and the ratra |
8713s | comp that definitely I would say gets |
8716s | they just play it plays better the more |
8717s | aggressive you play like how Michael |
8719s | wave was |
8720s | playing I oh go |
8724s | ahead I I was going to Le us to the next |
8726s | point if you got more to cook let's cook |
8728s | yeah okay well I will say you know not |
8729s | to sleep on snas Tracer at all like you |
8732s | can see when snar playing the May |
8734s | they're kind of playing tracer on May |
8735s | they're going behind a lot they're |
8737s | playing for selfish individual value all |
8739s | the time but then when snla swapped over |
8741s | to the Tracer for the final two maps |
8742s | honestly even though the score line |
8744s | didn't reflect it it seemed like some of |
8745s | their strongest performances like they |
8746s | were really Cho poing it up consistently |
8748s | on the Tracer getting a lot of that solo |
8750s | value absolutely like there's no way |
8753s | like we can't overstate the impact that |
8755s | sasor had for ESS Celestial but it just |
8757s | wasn't enough because we had some impact |
8758s | players on the other side that were |
8760s | driving things for the side of Michael |
8762s | waves let's talk a little bit about Mari |
8763s | and her flexibility and how that be uh |
8766s | how that proved to be an asset for |
8768s | Michael wave throughout this |
8770s | series yeah you could really see from |
8772s | the way that Mari plays OverWatch that |
8774s | they're a flexible tank you can see that |
8776s | they're not just playing one role but |
8777s | they're really looking to get as |
8779s | aggressive as humanly possible and |
8781s | really push into the backline whenever |
8782s | available you could really contrast that |
8784s | with how Street La was playing you know |
8785s | a lot more slow and measured like |
8787s | playing for the perfect cool down |
8788s | situation every time whereas with Mari |
8790s | there's a lot more faith that they're |
8792s | going to be able to push into the back |
8793s | line and hit 100% of their shots and |
8795s | just make it work through that |
8796s | aggression and and speaking of hitting |
8798s | shots Mari wasn't the only one doing so |
8801s | on that team it was definitely death as |
8803s | well and you know we talk a little bit |
8804s | about the soj head-to-head I was uh you |
8806s | know again keeping track your notes we |
8808s | were looking at sojourn like the sojourn |
8810s | head-to-head death versus Azure and we |
8812s | were seeing Azure with these big pop off |
8814s | moments in overclock but what you said |
8816s | in the chat was that death in the |
8818s | neutral was just leagues |
8820s | ahead yeah so sometimes the damage stats |
8823s | can be a little bit deceiving it seemed |
8824s | like uh death and azer they were very |
8826s | even statistically but where death was |
8828s | really creeping ahead was the fact that |
8830s | you could see anytime you watch death's |
8832s | POV they were going super wide all of |
8834s | the time taking really high risk angles |
8837s | apply a lot more pressure to the enemy |
8839s | tank so they were making Street Lord's |
8840s | job really really difficult by swinging |
8842s | wide like this and it's good because not |
8844s | only were they doing all of these wide |
8846s | aggressive plays they were keeping their |
8847s | death count low at the same time you |
8849s | might have seen on the startat line just |
8850s | before only three deaths for all of |
8851s | King's Row despite swinging super wide |
8853s | and applying all of that pressure AZ was |
8855s | doing a phenomenal job of getting the |
8858s | picks as they fell into their lap but at |
8860s | the same time I felt like death was |
8861s | really going and creating openings for |
8863s | their team all right well Dogman I'm |
8865s | going to start with you here with |
8866s | knowing that Mari and death are kind of |
8868s | driving the ship for Michael wave how do |
8869s | you like their chances going forward |
8871s | they still got one more lower bracket |
8873s | round to go through before they get to |
8874s | the Grand finals how are you feeling |
8876s | yeah I mean just to keep it short I |
8877s | think Michael wave are 100% that Dark |
8879s | Horse we talking about before I mean |
8881s | they've just got a great lineup as long |
8883s | as they can maybe I like what they're |
8885s | doing with under mentioned how |
8886s | aggressive they've been playing if they |
8888s | can reel that in a little bit maybe be a |
8889s | bit less telegraphed I think that would |
8891s | work out for them obviously these are |
8892s | hard changes to make right before you go |
8895s | into another match in just a second |
8896s | however if they can maybe slow it down a |
8898s | little bit make the game easier on |
8900s | themselves I think they definitely can |
8901s | benefit from it and even win the whole |
8902s | thing all right well I I I like the |
8905s | sound of that I think I would like to |
8907s | see Michael wave win the whole thing but |
8908s | answer one more question for you if |
8909s | they're going to win the whole thing how |
8911s | do you think they're going to want to do |
8912s | it are they going to want to try and |
8913s | leverage that flexibility a little bit |
8915s | more or is there another potential play |
8917s | for them I definitely feel that the |
8919s | strength of Michael wave is their |
8920s | versatility so I think they should just |
8922s | create more chaos I saw yesterday Mario |
8925s | was playing lots of Arisa and honest L |
8927s | Arisa that's a bit of a counter to ratra |
8929s | even though Mari is doing phenomenally |
8931s | in the ratra mirror I think if you just |
8932s | throw another spanner in the works |
8934s | another thing that the enemy team has to |
8935s | think about if you swap over to the |
8937s | orisa you make it more difficult for the |
8938s | enemy tank there's just more thinking |
8940s | that has to take place and I think that |
8942s | chaos really benefits them because at |
8943s | the end of the day everyone is going |
8945s | wide Wick is swinging wide death is |
8947s | swinging wide everyone is just going |
8949s | everywhere right now so I think if |
8950s | there's a little bit more chaos in the |
8951s | server it will definitely benefit |
8954s | microwave all right I love to hear it so |
8956s | chaos be flexible be unpredictable and |
8959s | that's how Michael wave can take home |
8960s | the trophy thank you guys both so much |
8962s | for the breakdown and hey I got to have |
8964s | to send you away here now because I got |
8966s | wiah on the horn for an interview uh Hey |

8989s | so coming into this matchup today we |
8991s | know that like in order for us to win |
8993s | the championship it's really just going |
8994s | to be like a test of endurance right |
8996s | because we have to play the most amount |
8998s | of matches to win um and so we knew that |
9002s | it was going to be a really really hard |
9005s | game uh a lot of the other players |
9008s | on Celestial have really like definitely |
9011s | earn my respect like throughout the |
9013s | circuit with their Improvement and their |
9015s | skill so |
9017s | I I still don't think we were quite |
9019s | ready for them to take first map um we |
9023s | just made a couple macro mistakes |
9025s | especially going into map two like we |
9027s | knew that we just want to punish their |
9029s | May um for going on these absolute crazy |
9032s | angles that you shouldn't be allowed to |
9034s | do |
9035s | um and so yeah so that was our plan |
9039s | going to Kings which is why it was so |
9040s | clean but our plan overall just going |
9042s | into this weekend was we need to be |
9043s | prepared to play the entire day we need |
9046s | to make sure we can keep energy up for |
9047s | every single match every single round |
9048s | every single map and take it from there |
9052s | I mean that that was kind of going to be |
9053s | my next question as well because you say |
9054s | you were prepped for like a long day but |
9056s | were you prepped for like your first |
9058s | match of the day to be a five mapper |
9060s | like what how's a how's how's it feeling |
9062s | how much energy do you guys think you |
9063s | still have in the tank we definitely |
9065s | still have a lot of energy in the tank I |
9069s | think definitely once we got to flash |
9070s | point we were just trolling ourselves |
9074s | and we weren't playing for the fun of |
9076s | fals that we know we can and funnily |
9079s | enough if you if you try to make these |
9080s | like crazy plays and you don't just play |
9082s | for the basic fundamentals of the comp |
9084s | you actually burn more energy that way |
9086s | and just over complicating things so |
9089s | flasho was definitely just a horrible |
9092s | map from Us Gameplay wise and I'm really |
9094s | happy that we were able to bring it |
9096s | back let's talk a little bit about push |
9099s | actually because I imagine a lot of your |
9100s | energy was expended especially during |
9102s | that last uh that last couple fights on |
9105s | push was there like a moment there where |
9107s | you guys felt like oh it's so over or |
9109s | were you just full steam ahead there's |
9110s | no shot we got this we never once said |
9113s | it's over we were focused the whole time |
9116s | we we should have expected that they |
9118s | would expect the doomfist which is why |
9120s | they rolled out on JQ comp um and I |
9123s | think going forward I mean we'll have to |
9125s | see what we roll that on I'm not going |
9126s | to say here what our plans for that is |
9128s | but we we should have expected that they |
9130s | would have something for the doomfist |
9131s | and that definitely let them get a lot |
9134s | of meters at the beginning that we did |
9136s | not want to give up I I really like the |
9139s | way you're making this sound like you're |
9140s | both thinking like five steps ahead of |
9141s | each other but you just managed to come |
9143s | out a little bit ahead on that map and |
9145s | then you know Route 66 looked to be |
9147s | entirely in your favor so how are you |
9149s | feeling going into the last couple of |
9150s | maps that or not maps the last couple of |
9152s | matches that you have today because you |
9154s | do still have that long day ahead we |
9157s | really have to see who wins this next |
9158s | match I think and I expect it to be |
9160s | really really close um I I I know that |
9163s | both teams are working hard obviously |
9165s | you know it's the championship that we' |
9166s | all been work working towards but I do |
9168s | think that wisp Embers has a super good |
9172s | chance to take that series uh they they |
9175s | work harder than anyone else and they |
9177s | have a really good understanding of the |
9179s | macro no bias there at all no bias at |
9182s | all of course especially not with like |
9184s | Kindred being on that team and all of |
9186s | that you know not absolutely no bias |
9188s | here we're all friends do you have |
9190s | anything okay I got I'm going to have to |
9191s | send you off here pretty shortly but |
9192s | before I do do you have anything else |
9194s | you want to say any shout outs this is |
9195s | your moment the is yours whatever you |
9197s | want to say um shout out my family |
9199s | they're all watching which was a |
9201s | surprise I didn't think they would um |
9203s | shout out Jasmine who said that she |
9205s | would give me a kiss if I won so I had |
9207s | to win and really shout out troph that's |
9210s | the real prize and definitely shout out |
9212s | Ethan my coach and then shout out Avery |

9229s | her here and it does sound like Michael |
9231s | wave are in good spirits and are very |
9233s | confident in their abilities as long as |
9234s | they stick to their game maybe they're |
9236s | going to create a little bit more chaos |
9238s | maybe not we're going to have to wait |
9239s | and see but for now they're going to go |
9241s | ahead take a little bit of a breath take |
9243s | a breather sit back and relax and watch |
9245s | the next game that was only our first |
9247s | game we got three more to go today chat |

9465s | yeah |
9482s | [Music] |
9489s | [Music] |
9495s | e |
9497s | unfortunately we must say goodbye to one |
9500s | Timeless team but there is another that |
9502s | has their eyes on the crown the same |
9504s | crown that they have had over and over |
9507s | again looking for that one last Tracer |
9509s | Corgi shaped infinity stone to add to |
9511s | their Gauntlet we got our Winner's |
9513s | finals Timeless ethereal versus wisp |
9516s | Embers Dustin I got to ask you who you |
9520s | got on this |
9521s | one that is a tough question but I think |
9525s | you and I know as well |
9527s | essal has got to be like the favorite |
9529s | here I mean wh members is a good team |
9531s | don't get me wrong I think I mean MOX |
9533s | was talking about the last series you |
9534s | know it was less the other team losing |
9536s | in the lower brackets uh being bad it |
9538s | was more so wisp Ember just being that |
9540s | team so you know really both teams are |
9542s | them and they could easily pop off here |
9544s | however obviously I got a favorite time |
9546s | with C theal they just look so cohesive |
9547s | at the moment absolutely I it's really |
9550s | hard to like topple the tyrants that |
9553s | have been so in control for the entirety |
9555s | of it but if anybody has taken them to |
9556s | the Limit time and time again it's been |
9559s | whsp Embers and we'll get to them in |
9560s | just a second but Moxy having a look at |
9562s | this roster what do you feel makes |
9565s | Timeless ethereal so strong what do you |
9567s | feel like puts them Head and Shoulders |
9568s | above everybody else right now I think |
9571s | just the fact is they're so good at the |
9574s | roles that they play right they have a |
9576s | little bit of flexibility for bun to be |
9577s | able to to flex onto certain DPS to deal |
9580s | with things like Genji picks but soill |
9582s | being able to play such a solid ratra X |
9585s | and absolutely popping off on the soier |
9588s | and Halo a Stella Lucio Z as well has |
9590s | really impressed in terms of her |
9593s | immortality field usages being really |
9595s | really clean and Bun as well with the |
9597s | May with the utilities with that wool |
9599s | being so good and creative in terms of |
9602s | how to utilize that wool not necessarily |
9604s | to shut down the enemy tank but a lot of |
9607s | the time go after the may as well |
9609s | Timeless aerial just know this |
9610s | composition inside and out and on the |
9613s | other side we have wisp Embers a team |
9617s | made up of a a Dragon Ball Z Fusion |
9619s | Dance between the previous uh the |
9621s | previous uh tournaments nyxl Embers and |
9623s | drainers we've got Kindred and Senna |
9625s | coming in from that role Annie and poru |
9627s | and hkey coming in from the previous |
9630s | nyxl Embers now wisp Embers how are you |
9633s | feeling about this squad Dustin I mean |
9636s | pretty pretty good just like on |
9637s | timeless' side it doesn't feel like they |
9639s | have really any holes in their in their |
9641s | overall roster I mean everybody plays to |
9643s | a high level I think Kindred to me stood |
9645s | out a a lot yesterday but you know |
9647s | everybody played very well Sena and |
9649s | specifically had a really massive pop |
9651s | off moments hkey has been a consistent |
9652s | so far and calling o here is one of the |
9654s | best players in general so this team |
9657s | also really has what it takes to win it |
9659s | all it's just a matter of you know |
9660s | putting those pieces together at the |
9662s | right moment and right now they could |
9663s | easily do that by cementing themselves |
9665s | into the grand finals and they would |
9666s | have to do it at the expense of who |
9668s | appear to be the Undisputed top dogs in |
9671s | Timeless ethereal and by the way one |
9672s | last thing about the Timeless ethereal |
9674s | roster they have X10 on roster even |
9676s | though they already had Wisps in the |
9678s | back pocket they didn't even need to |
9679s | sign X10 but they did it anyway because |
9681s | When You're Timeless ethereal you don't |
9683s | let off the gas until you have hoisted |
9686s | that last trophy so they are going all |
9688s | out and they want to win it's going to |
9690s | be a true test for Wisp Embers I sure |
9693s | hope they studied because that test is |
9695s | going to start right now I'm going to |
9697s | throw it to you guys and let's get right |
9698s | into it thank you CB I appreciate it and |
9701s | you know it's it's been a really really |
9703s | fun series all leading up to this as |
9705s | well for Timeless ethereal they've |
9707s | obviously only dropped one map so far |
9709s | Moxy I mean as a team as a unit like |
9712s | like CB said I mean they've just been an |
9714s | absolute monster they could sign whoever |
9716s | the heck they want to and at the moment |
9717s | X10 appears to be that that amazing so |
9720s | player that they kind of need to get to |
9722s | that grand Finals over with yeah I've |
9724s | been really looking forward to seeing |
9725s | these two teams go head to-head cuz so |
9727s | far it feels like every single time |
9729s | we've had this Ram mirror come through |
9731s | one team has been a lot more dominant |
9733s | than the other and it's sort of had a |
9734s | domino effect in terms of of cowing the |
9736s | other team into a lot of hesitation |
9738s | pushing them into not really being able |
9740s | to utilize things like the May utilities |
9743s | or even the ratra getting to just move |
9745s | forward and take a lot of space and then |
9746s | obviously with those compositions denied |
9749s | and B their wi conditions it's not going |
9750s | to be able to find a whole lot of value |
9753s | this matchup however this is the time |
9756s | that we're going to see two teams of |
9757s | almost equal strength going head to |
9760s | ahead I don't think we're going to see |
9761s | one of these teams how the other team |
9763s | will spook them into submission it is |
9765s | going to be all all out perfect tempered |
9767s | aggression really good usages of utility |
9770s | and it's going to come down to not just |
9771s | coordination but just Stella pop of play |
9774s | moments from things like your sojan your |
9776s | May and even your support line as well |
9779s | all good |
9780s | points the Jang Tower will be our first |
9783s | one our first map to start off the |
9785s | series I should say Moxy leading into |
9787s | this one obviously we've got a favor |
9789s | Timeless Celestial just based on how |
9790s | they've played so far but on the other |
9793s | side right you know like you mentioned |
9794s | with wisp they've been consistent they |
9796s | haven't even dropped the map in fact |
9797s | this whole series so just based on that |
9799s | fact alone is this more so just looking |
9801s | at you know map differential and all |
9803s | this kind of stuff not really did we |
9804s | just toss all out the window kind of you |
9806s | know everybody fa different teams this |
9808s | is really just at the end of the day you |
9809s | know the matchup between Timeless |
9811s | ethereal and whisp it doesn't matter |
9812s | what their their record was leading into |
9814s | this well a lot of the time Thomas and |
9816s | wisp actually find themselves going head |
9817s | to-head like CV said wisp embus is very |
9820s | much an amalgamation of previous teams |
9822s | in the cah circuit one of which went |
9825s | directly up Against Time with safarel in |
9827s | the last grand finals of major free and |
9830s | time with safarel surprise surprise were |
9833s | able to take them down and come out with |
9835s | another win but surely that has got to |
9837s | spark a lot of hunger to be able to |
9840s | finally take this team down we've seen |
9842s | some take a couple of maps are we going |
9845s | to see a full defeat and surprise upset |
9849s | if Timeless find themselves in that |
9850s | lower bracket surely we're going to be |
9853s | thinking okay maybe things aren't quite |
9855s | so set stone for sure and you know |
9858s | leading into this one too obviously whsp |
9860s | Embers in their situation you know so |
9863s | far they they could easily do so right |
9865s | they could easily get that upset you |
9866s | talked about how you know yesterday and |
9868s | I think today this was kind of a problem |
9869s | with Timeless Celestial I know we're |
9871s | going back to that series a little bit |
9872s | but the fact that Timeless Celestial |
9875s | didn't look like very coordinated at |
9877s | points compared to wisp Embers I I think |
9880s | massive moving forwards considering you |
9882s | know on the other side time they will |
9883s | beat up Michael wave who obviously just |
9885s | progressed in that lower bracket final |
9887s | so either of these teams got a match up |
9888s | against Michael wave which is going to |
9890s | be a very very hard matchup so it's |
9892s | obviously now or never for both of these |
9894s | teams but whisp specifically has a |
9896s | tendency to make the other team look not |
9898s | as good and we'll see if Timeless can |
9900s | obviously maintain their their dominance |
9902s | as they've had throughout the entire |
9904s | calling o Hero season yeah H ke is |
9906s | incredibly good at being able to shut |
9908s | down the opposing May so I cannot wait |
9910s | to see that specific interaction between |
9913s | HQ and B go down but I think X and in |
9916s | Santa is going to be another Stand Out |
9917s | match to watch as well both of these so |
9921s | like unto was saying right taking these |
9923s | wi swings puts a lot more pressure on |
9925s | that tank it's a lot of risk because you |
9927s | are leaving yourself a lot more open if |
9929s | you get spotted out but if you're able |
9931s | to successfully navigate that particular |
9933s | risk you find so much more |
9936s | value wh Ember is trying to control the |
9938s | pillar side early and same with Timeless |
9942s | however the wall used by HK H cent of |
9945s | the shot on Z early on with a nice shot |
9947s | the sojourn of whis that opening pick I |
9950s | mean no more healing now for Timeless |
9952s | unless they get some sort of random head |
9954s | shot it's basically over for them one |
9956s | will go down to HK and eventually |
9958s | Timeless etherial will get wiped away |
9960s | with Embers they're going to take the |
9962s | point first oh that's going to spiral |
9964s | into the next fight effect as well anion |
9966s | getting to stay alive means that you're |
9968s | 63% of the way to amplification Matrix |
9971s | one of the most important ultimates in |
9973s | this composition Z going early however |
9976s | denies that ultimate from being online |
9978s | for Timeless aeral and that's going to |
9980s | PL to how xent is able to feel confident |
9982s | going up against Seno yeah close Bridge |
9985s | hold here wall immediately towards the |
9987s | bridge wall a flank is happening with |
9988s | that Lucio sojourn and everybody keeps |
9991s | talking about with these flanks nothing |
9993s | to come of it just yet but they still |
9994s | have control of that flank HT goes so |
9996s | low in the front line for you trying to |
9998s | deal with it the with the soj of their |
9999s | own so both of these teams understanding |
10001s | that that battle is just important as |
10003s | the main one here's that immedate window |
10006s | from an but H goes down before any |
10009s | healing can come through or the |
10010s | immortality field however it's traded |
10012s | back by Senna so dra and Timeless they |
10014s | lose a lot of the damage until now saw |
10016s | Hill comes back through with that |
10018s | Annihilation surely that's enough damage |
10020s | here as kri goes so low but the healing |
10022s | is here perfectly timed poru still has |
10024s | the beat drop ready to go Ops to hold it |
10026s | until just about now but oh my God the |
10029s | The Shield the B Hill blocked off |
10031s | Kindred getting healed from that sound |
10033s | barrier however Senate will still find |
10034s | x0 just seems to be a constant at the |
10036s | moment for whis Embers is the sojourn |
10038s | play however bun will take kred down |
10041s | eventually was far too much damage to |
10043s | deal with still though on in the rest of |
10045s | whis I mean they just been doing so much |
10047s | damage the flip has not come through |
10048s | like you said and they maintain the |
10050s | progress that they have oh my goodness |
10052s | the fact that Kindred went so incredibly |
10054s | low soill pops the ultimate |
10056s | understanding that annion doesn't have |
10057s | the amp Matrix to be able to just push |
10060s | that heal sustain onto the ratra nor has |
10062s | the immortality field to be able to |
10063s | sustain that Tank's presence kri should |
10065s | have been dead but it is a perfectly |
10067s | timed feat coming through from po as |
10069s | that may gets broken within moments to |
10072s | keep Kindred alive and that point in |
10073s | play as H key is able to deal out Halo |
10077s | and without Delo Timeless aerial they |
10080s | can't even afford to reset Dustin that |
10082s | last fight went on for so long they have |
10084s | no time left and just have to commit |
10086s | whatever |
10088s | happens wow I mean I understand this is |
10091s | Gardens and it's super hard to riest but |
10093s | oh my God 100 to0 what a statement from |
10096s | them there MOX yeah it's so hard to |
10098s | recontest because the Lucio has to be |
10100s | sent with the sergeon to look for that |
10102s | off angle into the back right and it |
10105s | means that the opposing side of the team |
10107s | with control of that point they have to |
10109s | divert the same resources both the Lucio |
10112s | and the seran you saw sen and Paul |
10114s | working together to be able to just keep |
10115s | a track of Exon and Halo but it's more |
10118s | problematic for soill who is a pushing |
10121s | in ratra who has to move over Bridge |
10124s | without that speed boost Bo and |
10125s | potentially get either knocked off or |
10127s | walled off and away from their team and |
10129s | it's something that whisp Embers were |
10131s | just able to cycle through absolutely |
10133s | gorgeously every single time the fight |
10135s | started now they're coming out with that |
10138s | round advantage in this first to two map |
10141s | Night Market this time come through on |
10144s | the right oh my God senta stop it I mean |
10147s | just absolutely amazing so play so far |
10150s | it's the overlo whis bers commit three |
10153s | playerss to dealing with fun who is solo |
10158s | and as a result they're able to find |
10160s | that first kick to will have to pull |
10162s | back allow the flip to come through and |
10164s | whis B not just going to be able to cap |
10165s | out Point easily also going to have |
10167s | control of the approach to it not if sen |
10169s | gets caught out that aggressively though |
10171s | oh yeah that ain't good for whis members |
10173s | now losing s anun TOA Hill great yo-yo |
10177s | back into this Timeless etheral are |
10179s | really straight up solid at yo-yoing |
10181s | back into fights instantly as soon as |
10184s | you think that they potenti lost him |
10186s | yeah that is the power of the Lucio |
10187s | speed boost the rubber band potential is |
10189s | absolutely through the roof with bers |
10191s | thought they had that space to play with |
10193s | and unfortunately Santa thought wrong on |
10195s | the real now in control of that choken |
10198s | really crucially for them as well this |
10199s | bembers were not able to stall the point |
10201s | anywhere there as long as they saw |
10203s | gens on the top left saw Hill decides to |
10206s | get in that damage meanwhile X10 as well |
10209s | there I mean cohesive and as a unital |
10212s | get a Fight Win pretty quickly I mean |
10214s | just get |
10215s | an HP there potentially even finding |
10218s | more making sure they don't even get |
10219s | back to the spawn with eat yeah and |
10221s | again you see that same problem right |
10223s | the Lucio is not with the tank and as a |
10225s | result hindra just gets absolutely |
10227s | pounced upon you put so much value into |
10229s | having these off angles and looking for |
10231s | those flanks to be able to swing a |
10232s | little bit wider the punishment is so |
10234s | much heavier from the defending team if |
10236s | you get caught out before that flank |
10238s | comes through as xan get to use the |
10240s | amplification Matrix alongside Z so that |
10243s | everyone from tus can just pull back |
10245s | yeah and just with that HT is gone |
10247s | immortality field used to keep that |
10250s | front line alive of Kindred who is |
10252s | taking a ton of damage right I mean this |
10254s | surely goes down here Annihilation |
10256s | however Pockets there surely they'll |
10258s | have some people back in this fight 7% |
10260s | nearly on the board and P disengage it |
10262s | great disengage from them Annihilation |
10264s | remove now they have even ultimates |
10267s | extend sitting back with the overclock |
10269s | 70% rotation comes through from Wiis |
10271s | Embers from the coastal side but wall |
10272s | immediately there from B counter Bo |
10275s | comes out overclock is here with a beat |
10277s | drop of Halo who wants to play |
10279s | aggressive towards that soor and stop |
10281s | that from getting any value blizzard was |
10283s | there on the coastal side but no kills |
10284s | to come from it oh my God it's only the |
10286s | Lucio that keeps getting booted back in |
10287s | fact it's X10 to go down with that |
10290s | amplification Matrix of anun Z will |
10292s | trade that however B bun next both down |
10294s | a lot of that damage has been removed |
10296s | they just saw Hill here oop again onto |
10298s | the Lucio but poo keeps crawling the way |
10300s | back and H is able to find too whis |
10302s | Embers will get that point back it's a |
10303s | Lucio do on the coastal side and Halo |
10305s | will win it however not the team fight |
10308s | it's a trade po gets Halo and Halo gets |
10312s | po so po actually booped Halo as Halo is |
10314s | able to to land the last couple of shots |
10316s | to dunk for past zero Health really good |
10320s | stuff coming through from both of those |
10322s | Luci but it's better in the favor of T |
10324s | right we are one fight away 5% Z's going |
10326s | to be coming in with the amplification |
10328s | Matrix and wh Embers have no choice but |
10330s | to keep themselves on the point they |
10332s | can't kite away from |
10333s | it |
10335s | here Point not moving anyway just yet |
10339s | window here on this right side kry gets |
10341s | that immortality field but what happens |
10343s | afterwards is Kindred live it's going to |
10345s | be so hard versus the entirety of |
10346s | Timeless etherial yeah eventually will |
10348s | go down but x0 is traded at the very |
10350s | least however well yeah they're able to |
10352s | get Bun too so nice work from everybody |
10354s | else losing their tank player it doesn't |
10356s | seem like it matter sill isn't finding |
10358s | enough value is also going to be frozen |
10360s | by the blizzard and that's another fight |
10361s | win for Wiis Embers yeah wisp Embers may |
10364s | lose kindred but it's kind of a silver |
10365s | lining because it means that they're |
10366s | going to have Annihilation for this next |
10368s | fight hqp and anun have all of the |
10371s | sustain necessary to be able to hold |
10372s | yourself on that point and keep it in |
10375s | play for the side of whisp Bon going to |
10376s | be going on that off Angle now trying to |
10379s | divert attention gets the angle to set |
10381s | up that W to isolate Kindred who's |
10383s | having to fall back to the rest of the |
10384s | team but this is crucial no immortality |
10386s | field you don't have a bage to use it |
10388s | though what a shot from X10 On's got |
10392s | beat drop used as well I mean what do |
10395s | you do at this point the Anni surely |
10396s | gets burned out On's got the window |
10399s | coming back from Spawn 95% though |
10401s | everybody got deleted by saw Hill and |
10404s | that Annihilation and nobody's touching |
10407s | overtime ain't being ticked today we're |
10408s | going to round number three again it |
10411s | just feels like there is one team that |
10412s | is always more dominant going into these |
10415s | raatz and one name that we haven't |
10417s | really talked about all that much at the |
10419s | moment is Halo and Halo is actually |
10421s | someone I really want to talk about |
10423s | because her Lucio has been so key in |
10426s | being able to shut down sen every single |
10429s | time time superial see whsp Embers |
10431s | moving on forward and the serjan is |
10433s | missing in that composition Halo knows |
10436s | okay that sergean is going to be on an |
10437s | off angle probably with overclock and |
10439s | she goes for the jeel she goes for the 1 |
10441s | V one and it means that when we saw West |
10443s | members actually commit that flank from |
10444s | CNA with the overclock when they're |
10446s | trying to find the Point Flip sener |
10448s | doesn't find the value and anion is |
10450s | actually forced into investing the |
10451s | amplification Matrix which unfortunately |
10454s | just Absolut Ely bankrupts their |
10455s | ultimate economy for the long game and |
10457s | th able to come in with Z to be able to |
10460s | buy themselves all of the space and put |
10461s | themselves into that last fight |
10463s | necessary yeah Halo is indeed an X |
10465s | Factor for the ls of Timeless ethereal |
10468s | very aggressive Lucio some of the know |
10471s | Reddit Lucio kind of styles that is kind |
10473s | of prominent nowadays in OverWatch 2 |
10476s | thuso will have full point control it's |
10478s | not unlocked just yet and whis Embers |
10479s | obviously like to prioritize this white |
10481s | side right just continually poking in |
10482s | and now they want to go in however they |
10484s | lose H ke early on to bun nice icle from |
10487s | across the map the stuff that may player |
10490s | of wisp Embers everybody also falls low |
10492s | on whis members they just have to give |
10493s | up the space and the point yeah I'm a |
10495s | much better fan of ter superior's |
10497s | positioning before that fight begins |
10499s | just being able to set up WID side of |
10500s | point so that the mayw doesn't have that |
10503s | problem from HK right bun is very much |
10505s | aware that HK is going to be trying to |
10507s | force a lot of those utilities as |
10508s | quickly as possible from your mirror DPS |
10511s | so she makes sure to play far enough |
10513s | away from H that she doesn't get |
10514s | pressure to utilizing those and as a |
10516s | result when they find that pick Timeless |
10518s | ve are able to fully commit onto whis |
10520s | without worrying about it being traded B |
10523s | already 77% of the way to Blizzard she |
10526s | might potentially even have it before |
10527s | amplification Matrix that be devastating |
10530s | if whis have to deal with that saw Hill |
10533s | still making sure nobody whis members |
10535s | walks in without taking a bunch of |
10537s | damage however in this instance just |
10539s | backing up towards the point playing |
10540s | that pillar side a bit of a micro |
10542s | fight's happening white room look how |
10544s | aggressive if Kindred is playing forcing |
10545s | out the ant Matrix and then going down |
10548s | nobody was there to support Kindred |
10550s | because they were fighting in White Room |
10551s | it looks like and off that I mean sure |
10554s | sen gets one however Timeless win again |
10557s | and potentially back to choke control we |
10560s | go that m is going to be so problematic |
10563s | yeah soill is really hoping to catch |
10565s | some of these players I especially with |
10567s | that Annihilation has to be careful |
10569s | however that you don't get chunk down |
10570s | with anion having the amplification mutc |
10572s | to shred through that ratra but it's the |
10574s | blizzard that whisp Embers have to be so |
10576s | concerned about it they can't directly |
10577s | take the point to fight they have to try |
10580s | and challenge that ice block from bun |
10582s | first they'll be able to shred her down |
10585s | still got the wall too now can use the |
10587s | blizzard in the corner cool Downs were |
10588s | used as well in that situation HQ will |
10590s | get Frozen has beat barely 20 seconds or |
10592s | 20 Health left bun gets that shield from |
10595s | the Lucio and then HT will fall too |
10597s | eventually this is what we're worried |
10599s | about for whis Embers right Timeless |
10600s | ethereal s is coming back with an |
10602s | overclock by the way 90% got one kill |
10604s | potentially find more kindred's also |
10606s | still here so it's not over just yet 7 |
10607s | HP has to fall back but Kindred goes |
10610s | down Timeless ethereal just seemingly |
10612s | have woken up right round number one it |
10615s | was close they lost it round number two |
10617s | and three honestly not as close Timeless |
10620s | ethereal just dominated whsp EMB towards |
10622s | the latter half and will win theang |
10624s | Tower yeah wisp EMB sent so many plays |
10627s | as well to just try and take down bun on |
10630s | that may and the most tragic thing is |
10633s | when we see the mirror it's come through |
10636s | they've done the right thing they put |
10638s | the pressure onto bom they forced them |
10640s | into utilizing that ice block early so |
10642s | she doesn't have it when the opposing M |
10644s | drops a blizzard of their own the |
10647s | problem is Bon's blizzard catches H key |
10650s | H ke's blizzard does not catch Bon and |
10653s | as a result even though she's lacking |
10654s | that self sustain she's still able to |
10657s | dodge away from the CC Dodge away from |
10659s | death and very very quickly wisp lose |
10662s | that may caught in the mirrors free and |
10665s | they just lose all control of just |
10667s | stopping and tempering that aggression |
10669s | coming through from Timeless as a result |
10672s | you know as we come back from that you |
10674s | know little thing there I was just |
10675s | looking for a bit of ounce of copium for |
10677s | Wisp ember's fans because at the moment |
10680s | right they obviously rolled on Gardens |
10682s | Moxy and I think obviously in hindsight |
10685s | you think we can equate that to the |
10686s | likes of garden just being a really hard |
10688s | recontest map because time wasal he |
10691s | didn't really struggle on Night Market |
10692s | yeah again like you need to rely on the |
10695s | Lucio in gardens for the rotations |
10697s | especially if you're playing into things |
10699s | like aay you don't want that ratra as |
10701s | self sustaining as the ram can be on |
10704s | Gardens trying to cross Bridge provide |
10706s | that Lucio into a May who has wall on |
10708s | cool down is an absolute nightmare but |
10710s | the problem is that if you actually |
10712s | place the Lucio with the tank then you |
10714s | deprive the resources from the sojan and |
10717s | as a result the sojan finds far less |
10719s | value and it's something that wisp |
10720s | couldn't really afford to do especially |
10723s | because on the opposing end everyone on |
10727s | the side of a wisp they're basically |
10730s | just getting to pump resources in and |
10733s | make sure that Senna and poru are always |
10735s | pair up together so that if X10 tries to |
10738s | take that fight alone without Halo you |
10740s | just get walked on by two really good |
10743s | DPS players who can hit their marks I |
10745s | mean look at po you 12 eliminations |
10747s | almost 4K damage keeping Pace almost |
10750s | with h key in terms of damage output |
10753s | Halo on the same level too like both of |
10755s | these supports both of these losers |
10757s | being incredibly adapt being able to |
10759s | just put the damage in where it's |
10761s | needed and that's tough as well I mean |
10764s | obviously just looking at Stats here |
10765s | alone obviously Gardens inflates things |
10768s | right I mean you know you got all that |
10770s | damage done you won that map 99 to0 but |
10773s | you could even tell towards the latter |
10774s | half of uh of control center like Senna |
10777s | was just going off right even at 7 HP 1 |
10780s | HP trying to make something happen do |
10782s | you think the likes of the soj player is |
10785s | going to allow wisp to stay in this |
10788s | series versus a team who is as strong as |
10790s | Timeless is I think we're definitely |
10792s | going to be seeing those flanks start to |
10794s | come through but again this is where it |
10796s | becomes problematic right because these |
10798s | two teams they're very similar in their |
10801s | strategies which means they understand |
10803s | the power that is in those flank |
10805s | controls and they're also going to |
10807s | anticipate it know that it's there and |
10809s | this is something that we saw them |
10811s | actually doing against some of the other |
10812s | teams they would lie and wait they would |
10814s | put these traps and Christopher |
10815s | yesterday talked about you know |
10816s | overloading those compositions so that |
10819s | you have you think okay one person's |
10821s | going to be flanking maybe two people |
10822s | are going to be flanking from the other |
10823s | team we're always going to put an extra |
10825s | person in so that when we send them to |
10827s | catch that flank we're just going to be |
10828s | able to spiral a fight Advantage with |
10830s | numbers because of how quickly that |
10832s | fight begins how early on in the round |
10834s | it is for control no ultimates come into |
10836s | play either so you can just chunk and Sh |
10838s | them down very very quickly in the next |
10841s | map we're going to will be Kings Row |
10843s | wisp thinking that'll be a bigger Edge |
10845s | for them and we we've talked about with |
10846s | Timeless ethereal specifically that they |
10849s | always are a team that okay maybe for a |
10851s | team fight or two they would look a |
10852s | little rough even around for example on |
10854s | the Shang Tower but Moxy this team |
10857s | appears to just be so good at points |
10859s | that just making sure they don't make |
10861s | any mistakes right as a unit they just |
10864s | always make the right choices um you |
10866s | like you said overload those flanks |
10868s | making sure that on the front line |
10870s | they're keeping saw Hill healthy Halo |
10871s | playing aggressive as well there are so |
10873s | many factors of this team that makes it |
10876s | so hard on King's Row does anything |
10879s | change is this really a map that wh |
10881s | think they can take the likes of um |
10884s | Timeless on is there something that's |
10886s | going to be different for them I think |
10888s | we're going to be seeing wisp try a lot |
10890s | of different routes to sort of find any |
10893s | weakness uh or vulnerability that time |
10895s | aeral have right they've tried applying |
10897s | this pressure onto bun they've tried |
10900s | pushing them mo to utilizing the utility |
10902s | so that they can find more value with |
10903s | the ultimate that didn't work out |
10906s | unfortunately for them I still think |
10907s | we're going to be seeing that pressure |
10909s | come out onto the may I think we're |
10911s | potentially going to have a little bit |
10912s | more resources put into these flanks as |
10915s | well as they have seen that thas aeral |
10917s | will push free players into those |
10920s | positions to be able to win out the |
10922s | numbers fight and as a result if wisp |
10925s | Embers just keep going this 50/50 route |
10927s | where they want to try and keep three |
10929s | people in Main and only send two people |
10932s | into those flanks and not really giving |
10934s | all of the resources that Thomas aeral |
10935s | are pouring into those flanks and |
10938s | unfortunately they're not going to be |
10939s | able to find the same level of |
10941s | value mox's main key to success trying |
10945s | to maybe send more towards those flanks |
10947s | help the so a bit more too cuz yeah like |
10949s | you said I mean that will assist Senna a |
10951s | lot more than than what's been happening |
10954s | and you know obviously this team |
10955s | definitely has it within them to take |
10957s | down ESS ethereal who has been such a |
10959s | juggernaut so far throughout the entire |
10962s | year see if you know these |
10964s | not I'm not going to say rag Tang group |
10966s | of of teammates coming together you know |
10968s | a mixture of multiple teams like we |
10970s | talked about with whis members kind of |
10971s | putting everything together but you know |
10972s | they've had a few months to work |
10973s | together had to prepare for this and you |
10976s | know surely Kings Row is a map where |
10977s | they can do those things like you said |
10979s | Moxy and change things up but you know |
10982s | at the end of the day we are going to |
10983s | probably see that remra composition |
10984s | again right and Timeless etheral are |
10986s | definitely experts at that comp yeah and |
10988s | it's going to be interesting to see how |
10990s | ESS aeral actually uh assign their |
10993s | resources in terms of who pushes main |
10995s | choke and around statue and who pushes |
10998s | up staircase cuz we've seen these teams |
11000s | these fromat compositions they'll attack |
11003s | one of two ways they'll either just send |
11005s | something like a seran and a Lucio up |
11007s | staircase to be able to duel out the |
11009s | opposing sergean and the Lucio overwhelm |
11012s | them take the high ground and then have |
11013s | everyone else on the low ground get to |
11015s | move forward safely from through choke |
11017s | onto point or they'll overload they'll |
11020s | send more people things like a May a |
11022s | serjan and a l IO up onto The High |
11025s | Ground to immediately find that pick and |
11028s | we'll actually get to see a much faster |
11030s | take because you don't sort of have that |
11033s | moment that stalemate where all of these |
11034s | soans and Maz are waiting to see whether |
11037s | or not they're going to be able to find |
11038s | that first value where the sojan is |
11040s | looking for that first pick and the May |
11041s | is looking for the better |
11042s | wall and to maybe change things more |
11045s | towards to talk about like these |
11047s | individual players we could talk about |
11048s | Timeless etheral cuz obviously they won |
11050s | map number one a bit marxy I mean |
11054s | visually uh as we by the way we're |
11056s | dealing with a bit of a Player audio |
11057s | issue so while we figure that out we can |
11059s | kind of talk things through what's |
11061s | happening in the series so far with |
11063s | these individual players Moxy with you |
11065s | talked about Halo previously what is it |
11067s | that Halo brings to Timeless ethereal |
11070s | that kind of enables them to play as |
11071s | aggressive as they are and have these |
11073s | insane Lucio plays is it the mechanics I |
11076s | mean what what is what is the main value |
11078s | that Halo is bringing to this roster I |
11080s | don't think it's necessarily the |
11081s | mechanics like she obviously has stand |
11083s | mechanics but I think for her it's |
11086s | actually the game sense and |
11087s | understanding of when to be able to |
11090s | commit to a Chase lucu is a very good |
11093s | character at being able to chase down |
11094s | vulnerable targets and it's something |
11096s | that she's done time and time again she |
11098s | is able to spot out whether or not Senna |
11101s | is low and commit to that chase find |
11104s | that kill onto the sojan or sometimes |
11106s | she doesn't commit to the chase she |
11108s | knows that the value isn't in |
11109s | necessarily finding the kill and the |
11112s | pick the value is just denying the soan |
11115s | having that angle and providing that |
11117s | extra Avenue of damage to the |
11120s | team and you know on the other side |
11122s | right those Soldier and players have |
11124s | been impactful like you said shutting |
11125s | down s has been a key success for |
11127s | Timeless ethereal and I think maybe in |
11130s | the lower bracket if we compare them to |
11132s | the other teams like it does feel like |
11133s | they're multi-chambered right you know I |
11136s | like it does feel like they're both of |
11137s | these teams and specifically Timeless 2 |
11139s | really they're not like onedimensional |
11141s | right Moxy were seeing multiple |
11143s | different news to success for this team |
11145s | whether that be disengaging ultimates or |
11147s | whatever and you know those strategies |
11149s | appear to be working um you think |
11151s | there's so like maybe if other teams |
11153s | watch back the vods what would be the |
11154s | biggest thing that you tell them to kind |
11156s | of like learn from Timeless ethereal |
11158s | just I think be flexible right in terms |
11160s | of your wing conditions don't make it |
11162s | entirely apparent when you sort of |
11164s | crutch on one specific ultimate or pair |
11167s | of ultimates because it just it leaves |
11169s | you too open to prediction and it allows |
11171s | the other team to not have to worry |
11173s | about having to on the Fly inste they |
11175s | can lay foundations to go okay this is |
11177s | something they've done and utilized to |
11179s | win the fight three times before chances |
11182s | are they're going to do the exact same |
11184s | thing it's something that Thomas aeral |
11185s | and Whisper are actually very good at |
11186s | doing is keeping each other on their |
11188s | feet going for different angle |
11190s | approaches looking for different |
11191s | combinations of ultimates it's really |
11193s | nice to see and it really pushes both of |
11195s | these teams into having to use that |
11198s | adaptation which applies that extra |
11200s | little bit of pressure which doesn't |
11202s | seem a lot but in the long scheme of |
11204s | things when you also have to contest |
11206s | with managing to hit your shots keeping |
11208s | an eye on your mirror winning out that |
11211s | duel and also keeping a track of the |
11212s | ultimates on the other side that a lot |
11215s | of the time can overload and lead to a |
11217s | real collapse in |
11219s | communication actually I'm going to |
11221s | throw a bit bit of a what is it a |
11223s | spanner if I'm British throw a spanner |
11225s | in the wheel of things I'm pretty sure |
11228s | we still call it a spanner unless |
11230s | American it's a wrench isn't it isn't it |
11232s | wait a spanner is a wrench right |
11235s | unless yeah no actually I'm pretty sure |
11238s | you throw a wrench into the okay is it |
11240s | it is a wrench yeah it is a wrench you |
11242s | don't wrenches so wait you you actually |
11244s | have the saying for a wrench into the |
11246s | workx yeah yeah we do you know that |
11249s | actually signs way better cuz it has |
11250s | alliteration I'm I'm kind of a little |
11252s | bit miffed by that not going to lie |
11255s | we're better we're better miffed man I |
11258s | British vocabulary be like anyway we uh |
11262s | basically we're trying to figure figure |
11263s | out the issue is with these players and |
11265s | um I think we're probably going to go to |
11268s | a short break while they figure that out |
11270s | obviously we have to determine you know |
11272s | what's going on behind the scenes with |
11273s | these players everything's online so |
11274s | it's always going to be a bit um you I'm |
11276s | not going to say scuffed at times but |
11278s | it's always going to be hard to deal |
11279s | with some of these issues so while we |
11280s | figure that out guys we'll be going to a |
11281s | short break when we come back we'll see |
11283s | you guys for this amazing series between |
11285s | Timeless ethereal and |
11292s | whisp |
11313s | [Music] |
11322s | he |
11331s | [Music] |
11338s | [Music] |
11340s | [Applause] |
11353s | [Music] |
11359s | welcome back everybody we're back into |
11360s | the series and as both teams set up here |
11363s | mock c um Timeless etheral obviously |
11365s | locking towards we don't know yet |
11367s | because they're on the attacking side |
11368s | but whs bembers sticking with the ratra |
11370s | composition definitely different in |
11372s | terms of pacing that we saw in the last |
11374s | series with so many counter swaps coming |
11376s | through uh I think we're just going to |
11378s | see the ratra miror yet again both of |
11380s | these teams look incredibly confident on |
11381s | it it's one of the strongest tanks I |
11384s | mean he's probably the strongest tank at |
11386s | the moment unless he feel something like |
11387s | an Arisa to throw a wrench in the works |
11391s | as we're going to see a little bit of |
11392s | power a little bit of wi teed before |
11394s | swapping back onto the main |
11397s | meta in the front side X10 just trying |
11400s | to spam out that off angle that we |
11401s | always see these soes hold meanwhile |
11404s | Kindred kind of playing flexible right |
11406s | not at the Statue just yet deciding |
11409s | where to move look at that Halo in |
11411s | everybody on timeless theal at least I |
11413s | believe it's the May and the so come |
11415s | through the top side shots fired from |
11417s | Senna but it cost him his life or her |
11419s | life tr's back though so it's both so |
11421s | runs down the disruptor shot did get |
11423s | that final blow on X10 as Halo was wall |
11425s | riding in the Sky Box definitely an |
11427s | interesting fight that sort of happen |
11429s | there Timeless theal they'll have those |
11430s | close spawns that's always going to be |
11431s | an issue moving forward for wh members |
11434s | who have to walk further if they get |
11435s | picked off nearly one tick given as well |
11438s | as this has turned out to a bit of a |
11440s | neutral game fight well sojan IS F C has |
11444s | returned with the help of the power |
11445s | slide one it going to be picked up |
11447s | however for Timeless aerial is Kindred |
11448s | going incredibly low going to see H |
11451s | utilize that M and just buy the tank a |
11453s | little bit more down time to be able to |
11455s | get healed up as X10 does onto The High |
11457s | Ground and immediately pays the price |
11459s | how are the only two people to go down |
11461s | two fights in a row now it's only the |
11462s | sojourn Kindred now Trad back saw Hill |
11464s | so finally somebody else beside the |
11466s | sojourn he going to die sold abuse today |
11469s | has not been great Kindred does win out |
11471s | on the low ground and they hold the even |
11473s | though two ticks were given HQ has been |
11475s | able to build up lizard as well which is |
11477s | absolutely huge cuz Timeless aeral like |
11479s | you've seen have been just so aggressive |
11481s | and trying to lay stake onto this High |
11484s | Ground so that or and anion do not have |
11486s | this safe ledge to hide around and keep |
11489s | themselves covered when we see that poke |
11490s | come through from things like the May |
11492s | and the soier as amplification Matrix is |
11494s | online for anion definitely looking to |
11496s | utilize it head up with the so what an |
11499s | opening pick from HT by the way whis |
11500s | Ember is kind of coming online already 2 |
11502s | minutes off the clock looking good for |
11504s | them as Timeless maybe on King's Row |
11506s | this was a great pick for them boes out |
11508s | that immortality fi and the blizzard |
11510s | immediately follows through from HQ |
11511s | surely that Baptist goes down a trade |
11514s | comes through from Saw Hill but at the |
11515s | end of the day ult charge has already |
11516s | been built so not exactly a ton of value |
11519s | however I guess they got the Bullard out |
11520s | in their fight they also got anion late |
11523s | as well bun with the headshot is able to |
11525s | pick out the map |
11526s | tless have to be careful that they don't |
11529s | overplay their hand however they're |
11531s | coming in with five ultimates almost |
11533s | whis Embers looking to unfortunately |
11535s | have to back on out without that b te so |
11537s | you have to be a little bit more |
11538s | hesitant to commit your hold on the |
11540s | choke just trying to sustain now has to |
11542s | do with the blizzard coming through beat |
11543s | drop should give them that sustain oh no |
11546s | oh my gosh the damage to the ant Matrix |
11548s | was far too much even with the beat |
11549s | droping immortality field then also |
11552s | everybody else just pumping damage |
11553s | through that so a great retake there |
11555s | from timeless it took him a bit of time |
11557s | but they managed to get it done X10 as |
11559s | well has a really good read on the fact |
11561s | that whis bers without an to have the |
11563s | confidence of the team to keep |
11564s | themselves on that point the entire High |
11567s | Ground is entirely deserted as a result |
11570s | the sergeant gets to hold that position |
11571s | for absolute free and just provide that |
11574s | little Avenue of pressure of that poke |
11577s | to come through his H what they know no |
11581s | they know that she got back there we go |
11584s | yeah that's unfortunate who everybody's |
11587s | coming to help oh my God it was a bait |
11589s | the whole time Roxy oh my God WWE style |
11592s | type in the chat H now that's 100% a |
11595s | question |
11597s | mark I was going to say if there's one |
11599s | player that can survive getting |
11601s | unfortunate spawn it is May in OverWatch |
11605s | especially since like you said the call |
11607s | went out reinforcements arrived with FIS |
11610s | condo calls for Aid and they |
11613s | listened maybe saw Hills questioning why |
11616s | the team wasn't there to help uh but in |
11618s | this fight now we're about even |
11619s | overclock committed by Senna does take a |
11621s | little bit of poke still help he |
11623s | meanwhile beat re-engage from Halo |
11625s | knowing that wh Embers have no support |
11626s | they want to back out of there really |
11627s | fast disengage with that Luci speed |
11630s | trading trading over clock for that B |
11632s | drop meanwhile in this fight I almost |
11634s | have the advantage unless H can build up |
11636s | ultimate same with on ten still sitting |
11639s | over the top left meanwhile on the front |
11640s | side X10 drops the overclock lot of |
11642s | damage coming into kred Force the |
11644s | immortality field over the top four used |
11646s | there with the boots to distract X10 but |
11648s | eventually with the last little bit of |
11650s | rail gun charge able to take down H ke |
11653s | could be the differ maker moving forward |
11655s | because she was so close to that |
11657s | blizzard meanwhile on the back has |
11659s | dropped that amplification Matrix slows |
11660s | things down makes sure Timeless has to |
11663s | kind of check everything out before they |
11665s | want to go in but no more ultimates are |
11666s | going to be here because |
11668s | HQ alive though yeah they keep Kinder |
11670s | alive on the front front line but sill |
11672s | meanwhile comes back from po you |
11674s | understanding that PO you kept kind of |
11675s | harassing towards that Pub side and now |
11677s | on the front line with the amplication |
11679s | Matrix there's just too much damage HQ |
11681s | eventually is going to be back but it's |
11683s | just far too late in the reach phas I |
11685s | think everything's kind of collapsed for |
11687s | wh Embers and Timeless are going to |
11688s | close out here yeah HQ goes down late |
11691s | doesn't throw in the blizzard it's going |
11693s | to hold on to it for a more favorable |
11696s | fight F's also going to have the |
11697s | blizzard now and now I want to see the |
11699s | do out of these two mze I want to see |
11700s | the Poke pressure coming through from |
11702s | both of their sides to try and force the |
11705s | other into utilizing that block so that |
11707s | the opposing May gets far less value |
11709s | with the ultimate speaking about value |
11711s | what a wall s on unfortunately |
11713s | absolutely nowhere to go and Bun gets to |
11716s | follow it up with a pick onto her mirror |
11719s | as well that is value 2 minutes and 22 |
11723s | seconds left wisp you got to Hope if |
11725s | you're a fan of them that they're not |
11726s | panicking regrouping together they'll |
11729s | have some ultimates in this one |
11731s | we yeah BN falling back knows HP is |
11734s | going to be coming back on in with the |
11736s | blizzard good wall catching the raater |
11738s | alone and Kindred has no choice but to |
11741s | back up for Main yeah this is this is |
11743s | the worst nightmare for Wisp at the |
11745s | moment 2 minutes left now Timeless theal |
11747s | rotating ultimate so well bun sure you |
11749s | get the ice Block Force but she still |
11750s | got the wall x0 over the top overclock |
11752s | ready to go kred just spawned now |
11755s | there's that blizzard they're coming in |
11756s | with it x0 from the top side drops the |
11758s | overclock does take a body shot and they |
11760s | have barrier so this is going to be hard |
11761s | to take that duel but exent flying over |
11764s | the dang plane saw on the low ground |
11765s | meanwhile has taken some poke but the |
11767s | heals are there sill also has that |
11769s | Annihilation to go in with the second |
11771s | and same with double support ultimates |
11772s | how does react to this they play it back |
11774s | very aggressive window amazing placement |
11777s | for Timeless and with that they have to |
11779s | use the beat drop to keep moving forward |
11781s | a lot of damage com through the overlock |
11782s | Cena do they find the kills though Z |
11784s | finds Kindred onu trades back Halo cart |
11786s | still moving towards the very end as |
11787s | well and X10 will eventually take down |
11790s | Senna that was the last hope for Wiis |
11791s | Embers and Timeless etheral will cap out |
11794s | with a minute 13 seconds yeah there's a |
11796s | moment of reprove where you think okay |
11799s | defensive blizzard is going to be able |
11801s | to just stem the flow of this bleeding |
11804s | and then we hear the overclock popped |
11806s | and it means that no one is able to |
11808s | actually capitalize off of any of the |
11810s | setup that the blizzard could find I |
11812s | don't think it even frows anyone either |
11814s | so wisp em just find themselves getting |
11816s | stuck up in all of these really small |
11817s | cramped quarters which just makes it |
11819s | even harder for them to be able to play |
11821s | into things like the ratra the May and |
11822s | the soan who were just able to |
11824s | capitalize off of those claustrophobic |
11826s | areas by putting in so much additional |
11828s | damage and by the time Center is in a |
11830s | position to be able to build into the |
11832s | over can use it 's already got the Sound |
11835s | fire in time the saaral can just full |
11837s | push right on through Annihilation to |
11839s | block out amp Matrix and they are home |
11842s | and |
11842s | free early early in the map right I mean |
11845s | you you saw glimpses of mortality there |
11848s | from Timeless ethereal but you know at |
11850s | the end of the day they got the job done |
11851s | Moxy right it just it felt like first |
11853s | point I mean they had like what like a |
11854s | minute something left and now they end |
11856s | with the minute bun saves it the fact |
11858s | that bun is able to find those tager |
11860s | picks when we head into C deprives with |
11862s | ambers of being able to take advantage |
11864s | of the defensive capabilities that c |
11866s | should offer this team as a result BN is |
11869s | able to just keep everyone just pushed |
11871s | away Thomas field gets so much free prad |
11874s | distance without having to worry about |
11875s | whis bembers building up Oak to be able |
11878s | to challenge the ultimate economy |
11879s | Kindred doesn't get to create that space |
11881s | because you're constantly being |
11882s | pressured by the m and then the blizzard |
11884s | it's really good stuff coming through |
11886s | from her as we said Thomas one of the |
11888s | stand out players the absolute Jewel in |
11890s | their Crown has been dis Ming |
11893s | Timeless there on the defensive side now |
11896s | can use those May well to their |
11897s | advantage full rotate comes through from |
11899s | the top and now it costs for you life I |
11902s | mean I bit of an interesting rotation |
11904s | there from whis bembers and now with |
11906s | that Timeless just hold the choke point |
11909s | right send whs Embers back to the spawn |
11911s | temporarily yeah WIS Embers like you |
11913s | said going to be regrouping and trying |
11915s | to find a way through as we're going to |
11917s | see Halo the only one up towards |
11920s | staircase both and x and playing a |
11922s | little bit further back anticipating |
11923s | that run on as whis Embers look for the |
11926s | rotation to keep control of High Ground |
11927s | away from the |
11928s | defense and still playing it slow at the |
11932s | moment whs Embers meanwhile sending |
11933s | their flank through and sill takes so |
11935s | much damage forcing immortality field |
11936s | from Z that's a good co down to get out |
11939s | in the meantime however X10 doesn't even |
11940s | care about that right they just take |
11941s | that duel on the top of s s it goes down |
11944s | to the rail gun shot and B on the flank |
11946s | I mean it's getting so much value you |
11947s | talked about the M player before forces |
11949s | the ice blocked walls off the retreat |
11951s | immortality F gets moved as well onun |
11953s | Falls I mean that's clinical out of the |
11955s | M player and the rest of Timeless eal |
11958s | Vortex slows it down for now but |
11959s | Timeless again another scrappy fight |
11961s | that they win yeah this is what we were |
11963s | talking about right bun finds and zero |
11965s | in on the enemy May and forces you into |
11968s | these horrible situations these cat 22s |
11971s | you're dead if you don't use the ice |
11972s | block but if you do use the ice block it |
11974s | just allows her the opportunity to use |
11975s | the wall and cut H key away from annun |
11978s | and for's line of support aeral even |
11982s | though they gave up a little bit of |
11983s | control on The High Ground they' already |
11985s | made sure to rotate before members made |
11987s | it up staircase so they could drop back |
11989s | to point and deny even a tick and |
11991s | another Difference Maker has been X10 |
11994s | opening up that previous fight has rail |
11996s | gunshot available without having to use |
11997s | the overclock just yet sure will pop it |
11999s | now has to deal with an Annihilation oh |
12001s | my God kred just said I'll take care of |
12003s | that sojourn shut down with the |
12005s | annihilation on the inside for you goes |
12006s | down yet again though so no beat drop in |
12008s | this fight if Timeless want to turn |
12010s | things they definitely could and there |
12012s | it is beat drop saw Hill drops the |
12014s | annihilation runs towards Kindred poor |
12016s | youu will come back to spawn with a |
12017s | sound barrier but it's not there in time |
12019s | to save Kindred Kindred goes down and |
12021s | pressure the damage is in air from whisp |
12022s | EMB they're playing scared at this |
12024s | moment I mean surely the Stager kill has |
12026s | come through now a minute 30 seconds |
12028s | left as well they is dropped towards the |
12029s | point die yeah again like they want |
12032s | control of this High ground but Timeless |
12033s | AAL know that that's the attacking |
12036s | side's plan and every single time |
12037s | Withers make a play for that route yes |
12040s | they give him control of high ground but |
12041s | it's only temp it doesn't grant them the |
12043s | free kills cuz thas are already |
12045s | positioning around anticipating High |
12047s | Ground not being in their favor this |
12050s | members Now 1 minute almost on the clock |
12052s | remaining they have the ultimates but |
12053s | now 'll hold close yeah they're |
12056s | dangerous to deal with Halo just forces |
12058s | that flank away and they're doing that |
12059s | same thing again Moxy of course that top |
12061s | side is just too predictable at this |
12063s | point Halo just like reading it not |
12065s | dying either unless a rail gun shot |
12067s | comes through from Senna who does have |
12068s | the overclock that X10 on the side has |
12070s | one as well H gets poked down in Main |
12072s | whisp waiting for that FL to come from |
12073s | the top side and it's very |
12075s | onedimensional so far from wh however |
12076s | the wall stops X10 from retreating |
12078s | blizzard is here but oh my doesn't catch |
12080s | out X10 they already found bun though at |
12082s | the very least so that might be |
12083s | something does X10 get the kill no h key |
12085s | will take down X10 so luckily even |
12088s | though it was a bit scary HQ is able to |
12090s | take that soj out of the equation and |
12093s | with that 30 seconds left similarly to |
12095s | Timeless ethereal but a little bit a |
12096s | little bit worse than they did on their |
12098s | attack whisp will get the job done we've |
12100s | got two overclocks available able for |
12103s | both of these team Withers I really want |
12105s | to see them proactively use it but time |
12108s | have been so good at just being able to |
12109s | K around all of these win conditions |
12112s | Santa trying to figure out where exactly |
12114s | this defense is going to be set up |
12115s | disruptor shot just coming through from |
12117s | that corner once to see whether or not |
12118s | she is going to get challenged up onto |
12120s | that High Ground approach maybe looking |
12122s | for ref flank to open things up with a |
12124s | surprise overclock into the backline of |
12126s | Timeless but they read the soan out and |
12128s | they send the hit squad Halo is Out For |
12131s | Blood |
12132s | they're able to get that angle CH point |
12135s | now could be in their favor they also |
12136s | dropped the May wall but the cart was |
12137s | there to break the middle of it the both |
12139s | may walls kind of negated oh taking a |
12141s | ton of damage amplification Matrix is |
12143s | here but he almost walk past it needing |
12145s | a blizzard to slow it down so great use |
12147s | of two ultimates however no |
12150s | Direct Value found I guess the blizzard |
12152s | was to slow down the amplification MRI |
12154s | rather set on the front line still |
12155s | sitting with the overclock ant Matrix |
12157s | used on C side now little defensive ant |
12159s | Matrix overclock used to potentially try |
12161s | to counter with the drop is here to |
12162s | counter this now in still has that |
12166s | Annihilation to go but not going to use |
12167s | it it's going to go for the wipe here |
12168s | saw Hill just used theirs so saing on |
12170s | ultimates for the next rank yeah we're |
12172s | going to see a massive commitment of |
12174s | ultimates from either of sides of these |
12176s | teams cuz they understand having this |
12178s | control of Choke at the very start of B |
12180s | is crucial because it's so much harder |
12181s | to be able to set up these flanks and |
12183s | surprise angles in terms of this |
12185s | position as well as allowing you to hold |
12187s | so aggressively close to the attacking |
12190s | team spawn timeless Imperial see what |
12193s | Michael wave did in that last series and |
12195s | decide to do the exact same and whisp |
12198s | Enders have to use the annihilation just |
12201s | to break through that's tough you're |
12203s | going to use the annihilation reactively |
12205s | I would have liked to see it in the |
12206s | previous fight and now you don't have |
12207s | any any ultimates besides the sound |
12209s | barrier saw Hill will go down so they're |
12211s | able to get a kill xt0 will trade back |
12213s | Center though I mean that's just another |
12215s | unfortunate situation moreal also has to |
12217s | be used eventually the stackers will be |
12220s | found but you know for every Fight Win |
12221s | It Seems seems like whisp is just CL is |
12223s | just clawing to The Nail at the moment |
12225s | to win it yeah and I mean Thomas a they |
12228s | struggled a little bit before we headed |
12229s | into C whisp Ember struggled both On A |
12232s | and B we're about to hit into overtime |
12235s | after just one fight time the aeral yes |
12237s | they don't have ultimates at the moment |
12238s | but they are incredibly close to a |
12240s | couple of them so it's really going to |
12242s | be crucial that whisp Embers find a pick |
12244s | off of anion's amplification Matrix look |
12246s | at The High Ground from catwalk they're |
12248s | waiting to utilize it with sen but it |
12250s | gets walled nice from Bund there slows |
12253s | down the attack from sen and |
12256s | team nobody's even peing the Matrix so |
12259s | no charge is giv to SNA ant Matrix Now |
12261s | counter engage comes through you don't |
12263s | have to worry about a rail gun shot cuz |
12264s | he didn't give any charge to it either |
12266s | looks like whis waigh it out they're |
12268s | going to have to deal with a May wall |
12269s | from bun in a second here as well as the |
12270s | M runs up for you on the flank side |
12272s | drops the sound barrier on the engage |
12274s | only gets three of wisp on their attack |
12275s | H goes so low he's going to live coru |
12277s | trying to slop stop the soj on the top |
12280s | side to barer as well there too bun with |
12283s | the with the May ultimate with the |
12284s | blizzard eventually takes down H ke and |
12287s | that flank is just totally negated |
12289s | Timeless ethereal just clean up whis |
12291s | Embers at the moment on Kings Row to go |
12293s | up two in the series in this first to |
12296s | three yeah whis Embers you can see that |
12299s | they have these ideas these rotations |
12301s | that they must have worked out and |
12302s | scrimmed because they're sticking to |
12304s | them like absolute glue and |
12306s | unfortunately it just leaves them yet |
12308s | again just too predictable plus bun has |
12311s | been the absolute star player the game |
12315s | maker every single wall finding value |
12318s | every single blizzard finding that value |
12321s | as well the connections onto these |
12323s | players not necessarily finding a full |
12324s | team or looking to shut down some of |
12326s | these ultimates but seeing these high |
12328s | priority targets things like the ratra |
12330s | that normally a lot of the time you're |
12331s | not able to take down quickly because of |
12334s | the self- sustained tools and then |
12335s | you're able to survive long enough for |
12336s | the reinforcements and peel from the |
12338s | rest of your team if you get caught up |
12340s | in blizzard a lot of that go goes away |
12342s | entirely and the ratra becomes for the |
12344s | first time vulnerable and it's something |
12347s | that bun has been very good at being |
12348s | able to pick apart she's able to counter |
12350s | the opposing may but when she sees that |
12352s | opportunity to take that ratra down a |
12354s | peg she absolutely goes for it yeah I |
12357s | mean beautiful work there from Timeless |
12359s | ethereal and Bun like you said and now |
12361s | for Timeless etheral to go up to in the |
12363s | series they put themselves on map Point |
12366s | get themselves into that grand finals |
12368s | and which would obviously mean a lot for |
12370s | them moving forward it's obviously not |
12372s | done yet for whisp Embers though I mean |
12374s | they had some bright spots Marx I hate |
12377s | to put you on the spot for this in |
12379s | particular but what what takeaway do we |
12382s | have for whisp Embers on that previous |
12383s | map was there any sort of bright spots |
12386s | that we saw out of them against Timeless |
12387s | ethereal there was some really good |
12389s | moments coming through from HQ when uh |
12391s | we see that blizzard being utilized to |
12393s | just force X10 off of the angle |
12395s | something I wish we'd seen a little bit |
12397s | faster however and this played massively |
12399s | into how they had to approach the rest |
12401s | of the map was the the fact that about |
12403s | four times in a row the one rotation |
12406s | that they just continue to make is |
12407s | trying to take staircase and it's |
12409s | something that Timeless aeral are more |
12411s | than happy to give them because it's |
12412s | always temporary right they always allow |
12414s | that one little bit of land that one |
12417s | ledge up on The High Ground above that |
12419s | point to fall into the laps of the |
12421s | attacking team because they don't care |
12423s | they've already pulled back they've got |
12424s | play stationed up in hotel to be able to |
12426s | instantly just contest that flip that |
12429s | comes through so no tickers picked up or |
12430s | everyone else is already up through |
12432s | choke to be able to play around things |
12434s | like the ratra shield and the mayw to be |
12435s | able to launch a full Counterattack once |
12437s | High Ground becomes less important we |
12440s | have to see if wisp can kind of come |
12441s | back in this upcoming map pick that is |
12444s | theirs again right that's the tough part |
12446s | is that Kings Row was just their map |
12448s | pick and unfortunately they lost it um |
12450s | it was close at at moments I would say |
12451s | close well it's about the same that |
12452s | leing Tower was wasn't it so whisper |
12454s | keeping themselves in the series at the |
12455s | very least now we're going to flasho |
12457s | here Moxy surasa you think they're going |
12459s | to run the same thing I mean we probably |
12460s | know they're going to run the same thing |
12462s | not a lot of compositional changes |
12463s | between both teams but wh maybe feels |
12466s | like they have a better chance on this |
12468s | flash point map yeah I think definitely |
12471s | for them their strength of being able to |
12473s | take some of these off angles they did |
12475s | go for some Pinter movements when they |
12476s | were pushing onto Kings Row which |
12479s | benefited them slightly but also left |
12481s | them incredibly susceptible to Bon just |
12483s | being able to to see those positions |
12485s | that they' voluntarily put themselves in |
12487s | and utilize a a well-placed wall and |
12489s | just split off players but you don't |
12492s | normally get to split off it's not often |
12494s | that you're able to catch the opposing |
12495s | May or something like that uh Lucio or |
12498s | Baptist alone and Bun was able to do |
12501s | just exactly that when we head into |
12502s | flasho there's a lot more angles these |
12505s | points get a lot more open which is |
12506s | really good for the sergeant that's |
12508s | surprise Factor it also diminishes some |
12510s | of the value from the me because there |
12512s | are so many different areas that you can |
12515s | get contested from that becomes a little |
12517s | bit harder to utilize that wall well |
12519s | because of just the sheer space that |
12521s | you're bombarded trying to lock down |
12523s | especially with the ratra that again is |
12526s | very sort of limited to the amount of |
12529s | angle that you're able to cover with |
12531s | your defensive capability so I'm hoping |
12534s | that whsp Embers utilize that to their |
12536s | advantage especially since they pick a |
12538s | rasa instead of new junk City where this |
12540s | first point is so incredibly just so |
12543s | many different angles you can get |
12545s | approach from The High Ground uh on the |
12547s | point itself you can get pushed onto on |
12549s | the back line there's all of these |
12550s | little nut where you can just power |
12552s | slide up if you're a soldan or W ride |
12554s | onto if you're a Lucio or even May W |
12556s | yourself up onto to be a little bit of a |
12559s | surprise that the other team is not |
12561s | necessarily equipped to deal with yeah I |
12563s | mean and surely the likes of I know |
12565s | we're talking about wisp strengths kind |
12566s | of at the beginning of that I Halo |
12568s | obviously takes full advantage of that |
12570s | asz does xt0 so you know that is going |
12572s | to be another aspect that I'm sure whisp |
12574s | are trying be cautious of considering |
12577s | you know how much damage that X10 and |
12579s | Halo can do on those angles like you |
12581s | said it feels like every time on Ser at |
12582s | first point like you see there's so many |
12584s | angles that it's just a matter of time |
12586s | before the sojin or something gets a |
12587s | pick however you know I guess BN on this |
12590s | side also does that right if you have a |
12591s | good n player that hits those icicles |
12593s | that's also you know yeah big factor |
12596s | that is as you said one of those factors |
12599s | long line of sights is perfect for |
12601s | sergeon but it's also absolutely brutal |
12604s | if m is a DA hander being able to land |
12606s | those icicles straight to your skull and |
12609s | Bun has been able to do just that |
12611s | holding up so quickly to these blizzards |
12614s | as well a lot of the time almost |
12615s | approaching the blizzard before the |
12617s | amplification mrix which is a feed in |
12619s | and of itself considering the baps is |
12621s | getting so much healing to pump out onto |
12624s | the ratra but also still able to keep up |
12626s | with damage in terms of the DPS |
12628s | department as well so you are super |
12630s | charging up that ultimate incredibly |
12632s | quickly and it even charges incredibly |
12634s | quickly as well it's one of the fastest |
12635s | Bing ultimates in the |
12637s | game Timeless at |
12639s | theel what they want to do you know |
12641s | obviously up 20 in the series now on the |
12644s | cusp of reaching that gr B also getting |
12646s | that corgy trophy Moxy that I'm still |
12649s | I'm still mad we can't get man I just |
12651s | I'm I'm really jealous of these players |
12653s | getting that Corgi trophy it's so |
12654s | beautiful so cute are we going to see |
12656s | the orisa mix up soill did play the |
12658s | orisa previously up against microwave |
12661s | and I really like this because the orisa |
12664s | is sort of the antiac to the ratra |
12667s | because you can really just keep |
12669s | pressuring a lot of the time Cycles that |
12671s | are there for the ratra composition as |
12673s | well as when the ratra wants to make |
12675s | that move forward with the Nemesis formb |
12676s | a well-placed javelin Thro can |
12678s | immediately knock them back and theat |
12680s | loser that crucial cool down and wh |
12682s | ambers loses a lot of aggressive space |
12684s | as a result this mix up hands out with |
12687s | that Shield they have to play aggressive |
12690s | May wall acting kind of as that pseudo |
12692s | Shield give them some space and they're |
12694s | actually going to take the point first |
12695s | yeah interesting that wh EMB just give |
12697s | up all that space play safe right now |
12700s | allow |
12702s | from soill disconnected Kindred from the |
12704s | rest of the team and as a result their |
12706s | match just didn't have the confidence to |
12707s | keep on point and we're just going to |
12709s | see staga Pig SM holding up to 30% on |
12712s | the board too I mean that's rough to |
12713s | lose first fight in that |
12716s | manner this is something we actually saw |
12718s | utilized from microwave as well the |
12720s | javelin frow can be really really brutal |
12722s | when paired alongside a may you don't |
12725s | necessarily uh allow the m to find a |
12728s | moment to find an isolated Target as |
12730s | much as forcing Target to be isolated |
12732s | with the Javin frow and that significant |
12734s | amount of knockdown looking at the |
12735s | overhead map this spers not really going |
12738s | to be taking any off angles either |
12740s | everyone playing very close together I |
12743s | think this Sissa actually does quite |
12744s | well in this uh no ultimate battle |
12748s | that's sort of happening meanwhile saw |
12750s | Hill kind of pressuring towards that |
12751s | point those was a javelin early wall |
12753s | here as well from bun pretty much |
12755s | exactly what we saw in the in the first |
12756s | fight just mired they D to shove off |
12760s | Kindred immortality |
12761s | Force amplication both side actually |
12763s | this one should favor whisp cuz they |
12765s | still have that immortality field and |
12767s | you got to use it late they get that |
12769s | Point Flip as well HT goes so low needs |
12773s | healing at the moment will eventually |
12775s | get it as well team about even an |
12777s | ultimate so yeah the teror surge is up |
12778s | X10 hits the shot too and that should be |
12781s | it Embers on this first point I mean |
12783s | teror surge now here no beat drop or |
12784s | immortality feel goodbye HP right after |
12788s | the cool down has been used overtime now |
12790s | taken down Timeless have that point |
12792s | everybody just runs towards that |
12794s | objective saves onto some ultimates and |
12796s | Timeless a buriel win point8 yeah Arisa |
12799s | doesn't necessarily just counter the |
12800s | ratra she's also really problematic for |
12802s | hq's blizzards because ideally if you're |
12805s | with bembers right you find that flip |
12807s | off of Just denying that spacing with |
12808s | the amplification Matrix time if like |
12810s | you said don't a the motality field they |
12812s | have to drop down and give up that space |
12814s | and H should be able to use the blizzard |
12815s | to keep that control of the point but |
12818s | soill threatens that space yet again |
12820s | with the teror which automatically you |
12821s | fortify which automatically cancels and |
12823s | nullifies the effect of the may freeze |
12825s | this night Thomas taking that High |
12827s | Ground removing the off angle from West |
12828s | bambas going to force them into |
12830s | utilizing an ultimate to be able to |
12831s | brute force that way through choke he's |
12834s | already built nearly another ultimate oh |
12835s | my God the javelin by the way from Saw |
12837s | Hill chunk Center stunned him and then |
12840s | bun was there with the icicle that's |
12842s | just a lost team fight right there Moxy |
12844s | yeah orisa is a lot better rater as well |
12847s | being able to control all of these |
12849s | different Avenues of angles we are going |
12851s | to see the blizzard being invested from |
12853s | H key asers look to rub a band it |
12857s | doesn't even catch door Hill low enough |
12859s | to force an immortality field from Z |
12861s | however maybe we're going to see a swap |
12862s | come through from whis bers that's the |
12863s | only reason I would see that blard being |
12865s | in fasted it's got to be like a bit of a |
12868s | panic ultim oh Jesus deleted T see |
12872s | Center Z nice shots obviously there but |
12875s | 50% of the board now Timeless Imperial |
12878s | just have every single ultimate nearly |
12881s | don't accept an amplification Matrix |
12882s | that they just use and 60% on the board |
12884s | Moxy yeah that was one fight win off of |
12887s | the back of like you said one ultimate |
12889s | which burns up so incredibly quickly |
12892s | time more than happy to trade that one |
12894s | off wh bam is going to be coming in with |
12896s | a lot of ultimates but they have to be |
12897s | able to find the spacing to be able to |
12899s | use them Santa trying to find that |
12902s | approach but goes incredibly low being |
12904s | spotted out Bon wins the jeel blizzard |
12907s | not needed Timeless soial just have to |
12910s | deal with this CPS of whis Benders oh no |
12914s | oh no stagger kill is not coming through |
12916s | Surly they don't use any alss I mean |
12919s | it's it's just over here Timeless |
12921s | etherial putting themselves at Point map |
12924s | Point yeah they win this next one it's |
12926s | all over I mean they're moving on that |
12928s | was what one entire point of flash point |
12930s | one off of the back of only an |
12932s | amplification Matrix used by Z yes the |
12935s | rest of composition is proving |
12936s | incredibly problematic for whisper |
12939s | Embers to have to deal with I'm very |
12941s | surprised we haven't seen swaps but I |
12943s | think coming through from there and |
12945s | they're just a little bit hesitant to |
12947s | give up all of the ultimates that |
12948s | they've charged up and haven't been able |
12950s | to find any time to |
12952s | use another technical difficul is |
12954s | happening at the moment for one of the |
12956s | teams I mean honestly kind of well you |
12960s | would think something's going on there |
12961s | too because considering how things went |
12964s | I mean it just feels like it was a bit |
12966s | of Disconnect there for Wisp toward the |
12968s | very end and I don't want to say |
12969s | anybody's raising the White Flag just |
12972s | yet um at the moment Timeless is just a |
12974s | terrifying team Moxy like they just look |
12977s | so well oiled and it's just so hard to |
12980s | match their prowess as an entire unit |
12982s | they keep offsetting the tempo like wisp |
12985s | Embers are always being kept on the |
12987s | absolute edge of that seat they're never |
12989s | really able to to find that Comfort to |
12991s | being able to utilize the cycle of these |
12994s | abilities that is the bread and butter |
12995s | of this composition and as a result they |
12997s | never get to win fights and never get |
12999s | the space to be able to find impact with |
13001s | the ultimates that should be finding |
13003s | them impacts blizzard is a high value |
13006s | ultimate Annihilation on flasho a map |
13008s | type that is all about controlling that |
13010s | space while Annihilation is so good at |
13013s | pushing players out of that space that |
13015s | is all just being entirely derailed |
13017s | because they're not even getting to |
13019s | start to utilize them every single time |
13022s | they look to put one foot forward |
13024s | Timeless aerial they know that they have |
13026s | this sustain they know that bun can just |
13028s | move forward into these much more |
13029s | aggressive positions to try take TOS |
13031s | against things like Kindred or Santa |
13033s | while still getting to keep her life |
13036s | alive with all of the sustain tools that |
13037s | the May has the same thing for S Hill |
13039s | the same thing for X10 and as a result |
13041s | with Bas are just never able to find |
13043s | that |
13044s | footing I know how that feels they just |
13046s | like losing in such a fashion too where |
13049s | Timeless is getting better and better as |
13050s | it goes on just got to feel rough now |
13053s | there's that Terra surge be dropped to |
13054s | counter it for now but kred finds AO |
13056s | there we go that's something for wh em |
13058s | and they also could potentially shut |
13060s | down X10 however the immortality field |
13061s | slows down damage onto X10 for now and Z |
13066s | tail gets rid of H ke so the fight being |
13068s | drawn out eventually pans out for |
13070s | Timeless who now drop in that blizzard |
13071s | they want to win it here whereas whis |
13074s | not committing any ultimates again they |
13075s | just play it back and that cost him s it |
13077s | before you go down injured was separated |
13079s | from earlier on and can't use any |
13081s | ultimates to trade back Timeless win yet |
13083s | again another fight yeah soill able to |
13085s | kite the fight over towards Cliff side |
13087s | as well poses even more of a threat with |
13089s | that Javelin space |
13091s | knocking onto those players pushing them |
13093s | off of the map whisp Embers still not |
13096s | seeing any swaps to come through HQ so |
13098s | close to a blizzard kred so close to the |
13100s | annihilation what's X10 doing on the off |
13103s | angle on that rooftop just making it so |
13105s | much harder for this team to be able to |
13107s | move through and yet again the |
13109s | hesitation the T the theal force wh |
13111s | Embers into sets up The Kill early on I |
13114s | mean there is there's no opportunity to |
13115s | use any ultimates here Moxy I mean it |
13117s | just feels like pick after pick going |
13119s | down timeless are just kind of |
13121s | clinically dismantling West members at |
13123s | the moment yeah and even the way that |
13125s | thas position thinks it's so much harder |
13127s | for Kindra to be able to utilize |
13128s | something like Annihilation to find |
13130s | Value and actually Brute Force Through |
13131s | choke which is why W members have been |
13133s | holding on to these ultimates the only |
13135s | thing it's going to connect on to a s |
13136s | Hill and so has the javelin spin to push |
13138s | that momentum and keep them out of the |
13141s | range of the remat ultimate even if the |
13143s | javelin throw doesn't connect but |
13144s | finally exent goes down early now we |
13147s | should see West actually making some |
13148s | inrs onto this point Matrix Tera surge |
13151s | here though push everybody act forward Z |
13153s | does get off mortality field and saw |
13155s | Hill also got two in the dang teror |
13158s | surge before immortality but could be |
13159s | even there I mean this really has messed |
13162s | up with ember's entire game plan they |
13164s | swapped the fast Heroes try to get back |
13166s | to the point with three versus four but |
13169s | at this moment like Kindra is getting |
13171s | deleted by saw Hill 99% still on the |
13173s | board blizzard here from bun just to |
13175s | make sure Anu couldn't do anything |
13177s | solder 76 from send to come back on |
13179s | Genji this is just over reflection on |
13182s | the saw Hill doesn't really matter at |
13183s | the end of the day Timeless ethereal |
13186s | have made it into the dang Grand finals |
13189s | oh we said that potentially this was |
13192s | going to be a five map that these two |
13193s | teams on paper looks Incredibly Close we |
13197s | also said that up until now when we've |
13198s | seen things like the mat miror it always |
13200s | has felt like one team has just been |
13202s | more dominant and as a result they're |
13204s | able to utilize all of the abilities all |
13207s | of the utilties this composition offers |
13209s | while depleting the resources and space |
13212s | available that the other team has so |
13213s | even if on paper these teams are close |
13216s | you just don't get the opportunity to |
13217s | see it and that's exactly what Timeless |
13219s | has done they may not go for the full |
13221s | mirror with the ratra but they just |
13223s | continue to offs sent this Tempo not |
13225s | allowing WS bembers to even start |
13227s | picking up momentum to get the ball |
13228s | rolling so it just stays Stu right at |
13231s | the top of that Hill unfortunately not |
13233s | at the top now though they're going to |
13234s | fall to the lower brco no what a series |
13237s | from Timeless ethereal I mean that was |
13239s | just progressively you just saw them |
13241s | improved right Moxy just like map one |
13243s | okay it was a little shaky map two they |
13245s | improved map three they got even better |
13248s | and you know this is this is the tough |
13249s | challenge the tough puzzle of Timeless |
13252s | ethereal that just seems almost |
13253s | impossible to solve and and I'm really |
13255s | curious to see how you know you and the |
13257s | desk kind of talk about this and and see |
13259s | what wisp members can maybe look back on |
13262s | there's so many things that they could |
13263s | potentially fix however Timeless |
13265s | ethereal look almost I mean near |
13267s | unbeatable yeah I think the strength for |
13269s | Timeless ethereal is that |
13271s | the start of the series you see a really |
13274s | strong team but sometimes they can fall |
13276s | into a couple of traps in terms of the |
13278s | compositions that they run up against at |
13280s | the end of a series however they look |
13283s | just elevated so far past everybody else |
13287s | because in very little time they're able |
13289s | to figure out how to just rip apart some |
13292s | of these compositions I would almost |
13293s | call it limit testing as the first |
13295s | couple of maps right control like you |
13297s | said like Gardens was not close in the |
13301s | slightest but it very much felt like as |
13303s | the series progressed Timeless aeral |
13305s | started seeing that they could get away |
13307s | with more and more and more they started |
13309s | pushing and poking a little bit further |
13312s | further and further until they finally |
13314s | figured out okay this is how far we can |
13315s | push you so that you absolutely break |
13318s | but we don't overplay our hands and get |
13320s | to as a result remain in control the |
13322s | entire way through it's what makes this |
13325s | team so immensely Strong having that |
13328s | depth of understanding yeah what what an |
13331s | absolute freaking |
13332s | series between these two teams Timeless |
13335s | Celestial will be moving forward into |
13336s | that grand finals we'll have to see them |
13338s | later in just a second we'll break |
13340s | everything down that has happened in |
13341s | that series but I'm going to have to say |
13342s | goodbye to you guys dog man out you're |
13343s | going to have Moxy CB and Hunter sadly |
13346s | Hunter on the desk at after this short |
13348s | break so guys don't go anywhere we'll |
13350s | see you our beautiful analysts after the |
13351s | short |
13359s | break |
13375s | [Music] |
13419s | he |
13453s | [Music] |
13464s | [Music] |
13479s | he |
13487s | [Music] |
13502s | [Music] |
13514s | [Music] |
13537s | as expected Timeless ethereal do indeed |
13540s | feel inevitable and even exposed some |
13542s | weaknesses in a wisp Embers team that we |
13545s | previously thought was a lot stronger |
13547s | than they showed us thankfully they have |
13548s | a little bit more to show us but to |
13550s | break it down and see what we just saw I |
13553s | got Moxy and I got unter joining me once |
13555s | again hello hello |
13558s | hello hello Dustin's not here so I feel |
13561s | like we should let on to you know just |
13563s | have like a little bit of time to return |
13565s | fire considering DUS just like get Jabs |
13568s | in when no one is around to actually |
13570s | contest them well now that he's not here |
13573s | as well is anyone missing him I didn't |
13575s | think |
13577s | so I miss him slightly for his his |
13581s | Sports knowledge Hees to bring we'll |
13584s | have plenty of time to take shots at |
13586s | Dogman all throughout the segment even |
13587s | though we all love him or I guess for at |
13590s | least for hter pretends to you know it's |
13593s | we we all we all love Dogman here but |
13594s | let's talk a little bit about the game |
13596s | and let's talk about Timeless ethereal |
13598s | we kind of have to going up against wisp |
13600s | Embers oer what do you think was the |
13603s | Difference Maker for Timeless athero |
13605s | what were they doing differently that |
13606s | put them over the edge here in a lot of |
13608s | these fights to be honest these two |
13610s | teams I mean the score line didn't |
13611s | really reflect up by the end but you |
13613s | could definitely see it at the beginning |
13614s | these teams were both Incredibly Close |
13616s | like they both had very similar theory |
13618s | about how they wanted to approach the |
13619s | game positionally you could see people |
13621s | constantly going for the side fight it |
13622s | was it was night and day to the previous |
13624s | Series where everyone was constantly |
13626s | buying to try and fight the side space |
13627s | and fight for these angles where they |
13629s | have the best position to apply pressure |
13632s | but I think that the biggest difference |
13633s | between the two teams this time around |
13635s | was actually like in the old Play |
13636s | Because Timeless ethereal they were just |
13638s | incredibly disciplined with their |
13640s | ultimates they were really good waiting |
13642s | until the fight had started waiting |
13643s | until someone had used their cool downs |
13645s | and then throwing down an ultimate to |
13647s | secure a kill whereas with wisp they |
13649s | were a little bit more we're going to |
13651s | ult as the first step in our fight and |
13653s | as you get into higher levels of play |
13655s | and stronger positioning people can |
13657s | really easily walk away from those alt |
13658s | if they're a little bit too early |
13661s | and I think like towards the end we even |
13662s | saw some of these desperation ults |
13664s | coming out from the side of wisp Moxy |
13666s | you definitely I'm thinking about that |
13668s | one uh that one H he blizzard that came |
13670s | out how do you like what are your |
13671s | thoughts on that one yeah that was a |
13673s | rough one I was like okay I'm not sure |
13676s | if this is going to find Val you're |
13677s | already not in a great position where |
13679s | the rest of your team is going to be |
13681s | able to follow up on this as unto said |
13683s | there was a lot of fighting over those |
13685s | sidelanes and you could definitely see |
13687s | why things like the blizzard be were |
13689s | being used to try and deny those angles |
13691s | because they're understanding things |
13692s | like the amplification Matrix and the |
13693s | San standing behind it are going to be |
13696s | problematic but unfortunately because it |
13698s | comes out so early on it's just dealt |
13700s | with incredibly easily as opposed to as |
13703s | Anto said when we were seeing ultimates |
13705s | come through from timeless' side even |
13707s | things like Terror search was Finding |
13710s | kills at this level it wasn't just one k |
13713s | ier it was one two multiple times |
13716s | because of that discipline of waiting |
13717s | for things like immortality field or the |
13719s | May ice block to be on cool down so you |
13721s | can lock those players down in position |
13723s | and still manage to lock those kills |
13724s | down afterwards we're talking a lot |
13726s | about like the Maze and the sojs and how |
13728s | they're all popping off and also like |
13730s | the Terrace are just the front line but |
13731s | we're not talking a whole lot about the |
13733s | back line I've noticed and I think we |
13734s | need to because un I think you were |
13735s | saying earlier that you felt that Z |
13738s | might have been the silent carry here |
13739s | for Timeless ethereal yeah I very very |
13742s | much felt that Z was perhaps the sleeper |
13744s | MVP for Timeless ethereal because you |
13746s | noticed that whsp was trying to overload |
13749s | the L often Christopher talked about |
13751s | this yesterday where you s bonus players |
13754s | to the s lane to try and win it with |
13755s | more players what Z was doing was just |
13758s | constantly playing these safe angles and |
13760s | not taking the bait not running into the |
13762s | side fight and taking thems out entirely |
13764s | but instead playing a safe position in |
13766s | the back where they can dodge all of the |
13767s | sidelane shots but continually apply |
13770s | pressure and with all this pressure |
13771s | coming out from Z they were in full |
13773s | position to throw down a window mid |
13774s | fight and start fragging to pressure the |
13777s | enemy tank and make sure that they were |
13778s | never able to actually push up take |
13780s | space in main really I think that Z's |
13781s | positioning was near perfect and it |
13783s | really helped shut out whisp I mean we |
13785s | saw it as well like on flash point but |
13787s | specifically on King row defense it was |
13789s | so hard to be able to get to that |
13791s | backline every single time whsp managed |
13793s | to break free that choken onto The High |
13795s | Ground it just felt like Timeless were |
13797s | one step ahead of them and it never |
13799s | resulted in any value I I kind of feel |
13802s | like you know I noticed it the most on |
13804s | their Kings Row attack where you had |
13805s | like that one fight where you know anun |
13808s | is going around to try and help sen |
13809s | who's on the flank and that's kind of |
13810s | like to what unter saying where you know |
13812s | whsp kind of feel like they're |
13813s | overloading a lot of these side fights |
13816s | and meanwhile it just gives Z The God |
13818s | Spot to just you know jump on top of |
13820s | that little Subway tunnel and on the |
13821s | attack putting an ant Matrix up there is |
13823s | just a death nail for an entire team's |
13825s | defense so that might be something that |
13828s | wisp need to iron out going forward but |
13830s | we haven't seen the last of them so they |
13832s | will be continuing to go forward so uh H |
13835s | I'm going to give you another uh |
13836s | potentially loaded question here what |
13837s | are some strengths that you think that |
13839s | whis can play to in order to get |
13841s | themselves back in to a grand final |
13843s | situation and hopefully Go the Distance |
13845s | next time around I really think that |
13847s | there's a there's a high chance that |
13849s | we'll see West in the final to be honest |
13850s | I think that they were a very strong |
13852s | team because just looking at them on a |
13854s | fundamental level they were really good |
13855s | at taking these side fights even though |
13857s | perhaps they were overc committing and |
13859s | overloading the S Side Lane a little bit |
13860s | too often I think vers a weaker team |
13862s | fundamentally there's a very high chance |
13864s | that that will work almost every time so |
13865s | I think if they keep playing their game |
13867s | they keep trying to take the side fight |
13869s | as they are just continually press |
13871s | forward with that bit by bit I really |
13873s | think that they could be in in a prime |
13874s | position the only thing that they need |
13876s | to watch out for is that chaos from from |
13878s | microwave or from microwave um but |
13881s | essentially if that side fight is so |
13884s | aggressive and then there's a bunch of |
13886s | people pushing from the other side |
13887s | perhaps anun could be in a little bit of |
13889s | trouble facing a lot of pressure there |
13891s | but if they keep their side fight really |
13892s | strong I think all should be fine for |
13895s | them all right well that is uh going to |
13898s | have to do it for our little death |
13900s | breakdown Moxy thank you very much for |
13902s | joining me today unfortunately we're |
13903s | going to have to send you off if there's |
13905s | anything you want to you want to say on |
13906s | your way out uh just thank you so much |
13908s | for having me it's it's always been an |
13910s | absolute pleasure getting to see cah |
13912s | prosper and I'm really hoping not just |
13914s | that we're going to see these players |
13916s | continueing the scene but potentially |
13917s | some of these teams stick around with |
13919s | the same rosters for |
13921s | owcs that's going to be really fun to |
13924s | see whether or not it integrates really |
13925s | neatly from the CH scene into the new |
13928s | era of OverWatch Sports which has been C |
13931s | plan all |

13973s | I I mean let's start off with a lowball |
13975s | question how confident are you feeling |
13977s | especially after a three like that oh |
13980s | 100% we're gonna win Grand finals |
13984s | 100% it does okay it doesn't really get |
13987s | all that more all that much more cut and |
13988s | dried than what is giving you that level |
13991s | of confidence aside like aside from the |
13993s | scoreboard like we've seen you guys just |
13995s | run right over you know all of these |
13997s | teams pretty much all year long but |
13999s | aside from that like what is giving you |
14002s | this level of |
14003s | confidence um every single one of my |
14006s | players know that they are capable of |
14008s | com of winning this entire we know |
14010s | everyone's skill level we know that we |
14012s | can win it all we we know we've been |
14015s | scrimming all these good teams and we've |
14018s | seen how we've been doing we and it's |
14022s | been showing in our matches that we have |
14024s | no doubt that we're going to win at all |
14026s | from I go ahead I thought you were gonna |

14041s | that's been going on so like I I know |
14043s | the work that you guys are putting in |
14044s | and I can see the fruit that it is |
14046s | bearing but you know we may have just |

14050s | matchup who do you think is going to be |

14058s | think WIS bembers got |
14060s | it all right all right I wouldn't mind |
14063s | seeing that again I wouldn't mind seeing |
14064s | that again what do what is the plan if |
14066s | there is a rematch if you do end up |
14068s | seeing WIS members in the grand finals |
14070s | again are you just going to keep playing |
14071s | your game the way uh we saw here are |
14073s | there a little bit more tricks up your |
14075s | sleeve uh we have some tricks up Our |
14077s | Sleeve we have a secret weapon but I |
14080s | think for now we're just going to keep |
14081s | playing our |
14083s | game no reason to change it up I mean |
14086s | you have secret weapons but if they |
14087s | haven't even dealt with your main weapon |

14406s | our top three is looking about how a lot |
14409s | of us predicted with uh wisp Embers |
14412s | Michael wave and Timeless ethereal all |
14414s | leading the pack Timeless ethereal now |
14416s | waiting in the grand finals for just for |
14420s | whoever is going to step up be it WIS |
14422s | bamers or be it Michael wave but right |
14425s | now they seem they seem almost |
14428s | Unstoppable I'm back and I'm joined This |
14430s | Time by tiny shiny tiny how have you |
14432s | been feeling about the game so far today |
14434s | I have been thoroughly entertained by |
14437s | the matches we've had on our screen we |
14439s | expect nothing less out of the best of |
14441s | the best within the calling all heroes |
14442s | Championship circuit now Michael wave |
14446s | after a FIV map Banger series are not |
14449s | done with their losers bracket run yet |
14452s | taking on wisp Embers quite ironically |
14454s | CB the fairy team that knocked them down |
14457s | here to begin with Michael wave knew it |
14459s | was going to be a long day from the |
14461s | get-go I mean Wick even said so in the |
14463s | interview earlier she said yeah we knew |
14464s | we were going to have to go the distance |
14466s | we weren't really ready for that first |
14467s | one to be a best of or to go all the way |
14469s | to five Maps but they better be ready |
14471s | for this one to do that because WIS |
14473s | members despite what we just saw still |
14475s | have generally looked really strong |
14477s | throughout this entire tournament we |
14479s | talk a lot about some of the highlights |
14480s | of this team Senna anun H ke this whole |
14483s | team seems pretty loaded and like they |
14485s | are destined for something better they |
14488s | absolutely are the Wisp Embers are the |
14491s | only team other than Timeless ethereal |
14494s | to win a title throughout the calling |
14496s | all heroes circuit thus far and despite |
14498s | the recent loss I don't feel like that's |
14500s | going to hinder them at all coming into |
14502s | the series as I stated previously these |
14504s | two teams did face off against each |
14507s | other earlier on in this bracket was a |
14509s | three 0 going in which direction and |
14511s | they are not an opponent to be messed |
14513s | around with by any means Michael wave |
14515s | are going to have their work cut out for |
14517s | them indeed they are and I mean in order |
14521s | to get some of that work done I think we |
14523s | know un was talking about leaning into |
14524s | the chaos leaning into mari's |
14526s | flexibility who to my eyes has very much |
14528s | so been the star of this Michael wave |
14530s | Squad I'll continue to Hype Mari up in |
14532s | my opinion the best and most flexible |
14534s | tank in the entire calling all Hero |
14536s | circuit without a doubt the most |
14538s | improved player over time from where we |
14541s | started to where we are now she has been |
14543s | absolutely phenomenal and her |
14544s | flexibility has been the greatest asset |
14547s | for this Michael wave Squad I mean |
14548s | arguably it's what got them the edge |
14550s | over Timeless Celestial in the previous |
14552s | game will it give them the edge today |
14555s | against against wisp Embers as we go to |
14558s | our first map which will be Samoa for |
14560s | the first time all weekend long we get |
14562s | to see Samoa I'm down to take a little |
14565s | bit of a summer vacation to the beach |
14566s | get me out of the Frid winter of |
14568s | Antarctic Peninsula I mean seei this is |
14570s | the first time we're bringing Samoa in |
14573s | this circuit in the losers finals mind |
14576s | you a lot of teams have stayed far away |
14577s | from this map with how new it is to the |
14580s | realm of OverWatch as a whole whsp |
14582s | Embers is the first to dare to pick it I |
14585s | I think you know a lot of because we're |
14587s | in a very brawl Centric meta a lot of |
14589s | these teams are opting to go towards |
14591s | Antarctic Peninsula cuz that's what they |
14592s | practice that's where that composition |
14594s | is strong some have taken us to leang |
14595s | Tower just cuz it's another one of those |
14597s | scrims row type Maps where you can kind |
14599s | of get away with anything again brawl |
14600s | feels very favored on that kind of map |
14602s | but Samoa all three of the points kind |
14605s | of play a little bit differently as we |
14607s | go across so we're not really like we |
14610s | still might see a fair amount of that |
14611s | brawl composition but on some of these |
14613s | points namely the city uh the downtown |
14615s | City Center and you know the point you |
14617s | see on your screen right now Beach it's |
14619s | going to get a little bit more |
14620s | open-ended there's going to be a little |
14622s | bit more room for nuance a little bit |
14623s | more room for some of these sojourn |
14624s | flanks we've been seeing maybe opening |
14626s | the door for different tank compositions |
14628s | we haven't seen a whole lot of |
14630s | today this is going to be the chance for |
14632s | Michael wave to Showcase their |
14634s | flexibility it's not something that we |
14637s | really doubt from them at all which also |
14638s | makes me question why did whis pick this |
14642s | map to begin with if anything Michael |
14645s | wave has been weaker when they've had to |
14648s | play into this ratra miror with Zoe |
14650s | being on that may they want the |
14651s | opportunity to switch that up and |
14653s | perhaps this map of Samoa gives them the |
14657s | opportunity to do just that we'll be |
14659s | kicking it off here on the coast of |
14662s | beach Sandy pits sure about to be |
14665s | stained red momentarily wh members I'm |
14668s | curious what they've got cooking coming |
14669s | out of the gates are they going to |
14670s | switch it up sticking with Good Old |
14672s | Faithful Michael wave though you're the |
14674s | one to keep an eye on now speaking of |
14676s | cooking I have another fun fact about a |
14677s | spawn team uh for Michael wave you know |
14680s | I told you the one earlier at the this |
14681s | weekend about Vancouver Titans blue |
14683s | Michael wave have a slightly different |
14685s | ritual for them this time what they do |
14687s | is they will say uh you know they'll |
14689s | have their coach chimzi in the voice |
14690s | chat with them who will say instead of |
14692s | 321 fighting we'll say microwave sounds |
14695s | go and everyone will say beep beep beep |
14699s | or just you know making some making some |
14701s | microwave noises to let them know that |
14703s | they have started cooking and cooking |
14705s | indeed they are Zoe on the Genji on the |
14709s | Arisa this is kind of what we've been |
14710s | wanting to see Michael wave dipped their |
14712s | toes in a little bit more this Arisa |
14714s | composition that I feel plays very well |
14716s | into the ratra that Kindred has brought |
14718s | to the dance in my opinion it has been |
14721s | one of the best looks that Michael W |
14724s | have thrown out other than that J's Rush |
14726s | the difference Mari on the Arisa has the |
14728s | ability to control space or more |
14730s | specifically control kindri you're not |
14732s | allowing Senna to get up on these flanks |
14735s | and you can just javel and your spin |
14737s | your way through the back line you don't |
14738s | do a great job of protecting your team |
14740s | You Don't Go Near Kindred in fact death |
14741s | gets caught out on an off angle of their |
14744s | own it's a big problem for Michael wave |
14746s | starting out on this objective Senna now |
14749s | has to be a main target prob wanted to |
14751s | make the March onto the low ground yet |
14752s | the pieces are crumbling Kindred has |
14754s | been essentially ignored the entirety of |
14756s | this first engagement and and kind of |
14758s | the way that this tank match up is going |
14760s | to play out a lot of the times is you're |
14761s | going to try to utilize the |
14762s | assassination potential of either the |
14764s | Nemesis form to go into a backliner and |
14766s | start finding some punches or just all |
14768s | of the cool Downs that Arisa has to get |
14770s | in hit a javelin spear pin a support up |
14772s | against the wall kill them and then use |
14774s | the rest of the cool Downs to get back |
14775s | out and that instance Kindred was in the |
14777s | backline Mari wasn't using any of her |
14779s | cooldowns to check her so Kindred gets |
14781s | two and Mari has to turn around to deal |
14783s | with it but it's too little too late now |
14785s | we're seeing a couple of swaps coming |
14787s | out for Michael wave ammr actually going |
14788s | to swap over onto the Baptist perhaps |
14791s | for a little bit more staying power with |
14792s | that immortality but also is going to be |
14795s | a little bit more Mortal when it comes |
14797s | to those assassinations that Kindred is |
14798s | going to be looking for a great swap |
14801s | overall and that's where you need to |
14802s | start controlling Kindred a javelin spin |
14804s | off the side so now Mari walks on for |
14807s | cautious of the May wall as always I |
14809s | mean there's not much room for her to |
14810s | push up the window actually denying that |
14812s | space completely she's got to get out |
14814s | but no admr will still end up falling to |
14817s | Kindred and if anything you can't escape |
14819s | Kindred as easily with the Baptist here |
14822s | wh members keep targeting that support |
14824s | line and as difficult as it was to |
14825s | escape Kindred there it's going to get |
14827s | all the more difficult to do so now that |
14828s | she has an Annihilation and a ton of |
14830s | ults to back it up with yeah Senna with |
14832s | a pickoff onto death Senna has been on a |
14834s | war path all tournament long and even |
14836s | though we saw whis Embers kind of going |
14838s | down in the previous series Senna was |
14840s | still lighting up The Kill feed whenever |
14841s | she had the opportunity to if you give |
14843s | her an angle she will take it and poru |
14845s | will be there to help her set that up |
14847s | and especially with an overclock that's |
14849s | just another threat that Michael wer |
14851s | going to have to watch out for and |
14853s | they're so focused on Kindred right now |
14855s | who has the annihilation so even if she |
14856s | ends up getting low you need to find |
14858s | another player to go as in this |
14859s | situation it is poru nice Jaelin across |
14862s | the way Zenna blocked out of position |
14865s | temporarily or seizing the opportunity |
14867s | as much as possible tfield getting |
14868s | little to nothing done bring Anan to the |
14871s | back side of the Hut oh Michael wave |
14874s | flip the point back over they are far |
14876s | from in control of this battle atmr with |
14878s | another one get you're not chunking |
14879s | through the overheal Senate has plus the |
14882s | damage going in whisp Embers at 99% will |
14885s | have that flip back over a lonely battle |
14887s | capat on the objective wishing for a her |
14890s | to keep her company the reinforcements |
14892s | are coming slower than you would like |
14893s | them to death roaring back in bringing |
14896s | her Terror down upon their opponents has |
14899s | to do a lot more than that and you have |
14901s | Zoe just on the case Michael wave their |
14903s | gam play sloppy and chaotic but it works |
14906s | for them and it gets the job done when |
14908s | it's needed the most sloppy is |
14910s | definitely the name of the game it was a |
14911s | great fight to start out with with Mari |
14913s | going in with that Terror surge found a |
14915s | ton of value BL out a ton of resources |
14917s | from wisp Embers and it seemed like |
14918s | Michael wave had won the fight but they |
14920s | got too complacent too comfortable for a |
14922s | split second and Sena and Kindred |
14924s | collapsed on that and nearly snuck the |
14926s | whole point right out from under Michael |
14928s | wave thankfully death and Zoe come back |
14930s | with the heroic plays the big overclock |
14932s | the big blade to get the last couple |
14934s | stragglers out Michael wave now in |
14935s | control but how long can they hold on if |
14938s | death keeps finding sen like that might |
14940s | be a long time and that's T up from agmr |
14943s | watch how death and agmr continue to |
14945s | work together in a lot of these |
14947s | different fights whether it's the ant |
14948s | Matrix or not Michael wave will be |
14950s | giving hitan players so many |
14952s | opportunities to6 knowing value they |
14955s | bring to that neutral engagement and |
14957s | justers they're even committing the |
14958s | blizzard into this fight I really don't |
14960s | know how to feel about that a little bit |
14962s | better if Annie had picks up to on the |
14964s | back end of it Mel wave though still |
14967s | firmly in control there's nobody from |
14968s | whis that dares to go on the point it |
14970s | did end up being a good blizzard you saw |
14971s | the assist on anun that's our third kill |
14973s | the first two were frozen up targets but |
14976s | death was a little bit more mobile a |
14977s | much harder Target to hit but she does |
14979s | find the mark and that's going to make |
14981s | Michael wave sweat it might be a |
14982s | pressure point for them they have to try |
14984s | and get back on the point Mount some |
14985s | kind of fight with Wick a sound barrier |
14987s | here we go sound barrier is going to do |
14989s | it Kindred Force back just slightly |
14991s | enough to continue the conten on the |
14994s | objective the damage is too much for |
14996s | Michael wave to handle with Embers their |
14999s | flame burns up brightly here on the |
15001s | first objective 99% will that TI up to |
15004s | 100 yes it will Michael Wade gave a iant |
15008s | effort to come back onto Beach will end |
15011s | up forgoing it in the end it it it felt |
15014s | like Michael wave were so close to being |
15016s | able to buy themselves back into it once |
15017s | they won that fight but they weren't set |
15019s | up entirely for Success it felt like |
15020s | they were kind of just set up on stilts |
15022s | and all it really took was that blizzard |
15024s | and then Annie you to be there to get |
15025s | some of those kills to just kick the |
15027s | stilts right out from under Michael wave |
15029s | and they kind of slowly stumble and |
15031s | Tumble and Bumble their way as they |
15033s | collapse back down to the ground still |
15036s | though a close map very back and forth |
15038s | as we go into volcano I don't imagine |
15041s | we're going to see a whole lot of switch |
15042s | UPS on the composition this is uh you |
15044s | know of the three maps for Samoa this |
15046s | one is the most enclosed the most brawl |
15049s | favored and it's where you're going to |
15050s | see this ratra shine more so than even |
15053s | on Beach and kred specifically really |
15056s | stepped into the spotlight back in that |
15059s | first mini map there without that |
15061s | additional pressure on the front line |
15063s | with some of the crazy flanks that |
15064s | Michael wave were taking as she was |
15066s | ready to do a lot more than you would |
15068s | typically see from a player on this hero |
15071s | and that's something that Michael wave |
15072s | need to be cautious of this time it'll |
15074s | be a little bit easier since you are |
15075s | forced to go head to-head with your |
15077s | opponent K keeping an eye on those off |
15080s | angles and so is Zoe the DPS Duo taking |
15083s | out their counterparts in the side of |
15085s | wisp Embers Kindred can only block so |
15088s | much por she to will join them this far |
15091s | it's great that Kindred is able to find |
15092s | a Pick Off onto the backliner there but |
15093s | the other one yeah not not able to get |
15095s | two for one to make it uh make it all |
15097s | the worth while especially with your DPS |
15099s | being gone the May being one of the |
15100s | first to fall Senna the other Senna |
15102s | almost got no work done at all on that |
15105s | flank angle was sused out way too |
15107s | quickly by Michael wave who are privy to |
15109s | the flank angles that whsp Embers like |
15110s | to go for we talked about it with hter |
15112s | how sometimes they do kind of like to |
15114s | overload some of these flanks and if you |
15116s | start to sus that out if you start to be |
15118s | looking for those you can start to |
15119s | punish |
15121s | iters right now to push through this |
15124s | small Archway this is the best situation |
15127s | for them I me look how much death he |
15128s | been able to do 30% on Senna versus |
15131s | nearly 80 on the side of death I mean |
15134s | the outcome of this Soldier player is |
15136s | absolutely insane and I mean asers |
15139s | they're afraid to peek it the ant Mak |
15140s | are goinging up it's not something you |
15142s | even want to try testing but the same |
15144s | goes for Senna the ant Matrix at her |
15146s | back to help support double the damage |
15149s | and that's just the way wisp Embers to |
15151s | break through Michael wave's defenses |
15153s | Senna has a lot to prove and she's she's |
15156s | absolutely showing it little F tidbit |
15158s | about her by the way she's actually |
15159s | playing from the hospital right now I |
15161s | think looking on either side noticing |
15163s | the beds next to next to her are a |
15165s | little bit empty and wants to get a |
15167s | couple members of Michael wave nice and |
15168s | injured to join her so dishing out |
15170s | plenty of punishment to try and bring |
15171s | them down to her level but she's playing |
15173s | at a level we haven't seen out of many |
15175s | soj players as long as she's not getting |
15177s | caught out on some of these rotations |
15179s | she is finding a ton of value just like |
15180s | we saw there a 2K to seal it for whisp |
15183s | Embers but now death with the overclock |
15184s | on a similar flank angle and wi there to |
15186s | help tried to take it on 2V1 ended up |
15189s | losing their life whisp Embers now down |
15192s | and hurting the sound barrier as an |
15193s | attempt to keep the remaining three |
15195s | players alive and in control but at the |
15197s | end of the day CB that ultimate goes |
15199s | down to waste and they will be forced |
15201s | they have a reset yeah if you can't put |
15203s | the sound barrier onto Kindred then |
15204s | there goes all your staying power |
15205s | they're definitely not going to stick |
15206s | around all the much longer they're going |
15207s | to back out utilize the ult that they |
15209s | still have including kindred's |
15210s | Annihilation to really drag this fight |
15213s | out until they're able to wrestle the |
15214s | control away looking for an angle from |
15217s | Senna to Make Some Noise with this |
15218s | overclock or HP to go in with the |
15220s | blizzard those are the big money |
15221s | ultimates that Wiis ambers have to lean |
15223s | on right |
15224s | now the overclock out first wi not |
15227s | taking any chances immediate reaction |
15229s | from the Lucio player now mea wave |
15232s | they're saveing but no finds yourself in |
15234s | a fiery pit of death wi the ultimate |
15237s | protector of Michael wave shuts down the |
15240s | player that was ready to send them all |
15242s | to an early grave ow they're furly in |
15245s | control of this objective the last one |
15247s | standing is Kindred right now and like a |
15250s | wave they're pushing up they're on the |
15251s | chase knowing this fight could be the |
15253s | last you said Wick is not taking any |
15255s | chances I disagree she took a big gamble |
15257s | there and it paid off booping the |
15258s | overclocking soj off the map and even |
15260s | still Michael waiver able to kill HP as |
15262s | she invest the blizzard so have that ult |
15264s | down the drain too and Michael wave have |
15266s | all they need to hold this right now but |
15268s | they've lost so many oh they went on so |
15271s | early whisp Embers they had that ant |
15273s | Matrix just thrown in the middle the |
15275s | damage was done before Michael wave even |
15277s | even had the opportunity to understand |
15279s | what was happening and that fight came |
15281s | in so fast it made Michael wave's head |
15282s | spin they should have had that one ajar |
15284s | could have just locked it down with the |
15286s | window and they tried to do just that |
15288s | but it didn't work out Mari dies before |
15290s | she can pop the annihilation and you |
15291s | don't have the opportunity to build up |
15293s | to death's overclock you don't have the |
15294s | opportunity to make up any of that |
15296s | difference in the blizzard charge that |
15297s | Zoey now that HQ is on the Genji you're |
15299s | definitely going to be looking at Zoe to |
15300s | be the Difference Maker here for Michael |
15302s | wave but death has fallen once again |
15304s | courtesy asenna oh death I mean you talk |
15307s | about so but death as well has often |
15309s | been Michael waves in to these fights in |
15312s | the neutral game and with Sena just |
15314s | picking them off instantly that is a |
15316s | blow need to recover from before even |
15318s | thinking about aapproach and they do |
15320s | have time for said reapo though and |
15321s | they're I don't know if they want to try |
15323s | and take this duel up here I think they |
15325s | do want to do just that just to try and |
15326s | pressure Santa back but she can just H |
15328s | the power slide away go on an even more |
15330s | aggressive angle here Mari going to try |
15332s | and pressure out a little bit more with |
15333s | the annihilation where's the Beat from |
15335s | po you going to come from come out yet |
15338s | but now that time here giving Kindra |
15340s | that extra Health boost help burn down |
15343s | mari's remaining healthful now focus on |
15345s | death has three HP claim the lives as |
15347s | one the St barrier didn't land onto the |
15349s | soldier player they needed the B HK |
15351s | getting the deflect kill it's a brutal |
15353s | blow to recover from Michael wave half |
15355s | the flip back over into their control |
15357s | Senna sits with anun the final two |
15359s | players along with h ke slicing in the |
15361s | backline with bembers they're close |
15363s | they're not going to give up the map of |
15365s | sboa just yet a wave try as they might |
15369s | change the opportunities that they had |
15372s | couldn't be converted on a center as |
15374s | simply been too powerful for them to |
15377s | handle oh the volcano map it's been |
15380s | close CB he just never had the tools to |
15383s | fully take on what whsp Embers were |
15385s | throwing their Direction and they're |
15387s | going to walk away map number one it |
15390s | still feels close it still feels back |
15391s | and forth but unfortunately for Michael |
15393s | wave it also feels sloppy again I'm |
15396s | going back to Beach and thinking about |
15397s | that one fight where Mari went in with |
15399s | that teror Surge and it seemed to get |
15401s | everything Michael wave could have |
15402s | possibly wanted out of it but it wasn't |
15404s | quite enough because they rested on |
15406s | their Laurels for a split second and |
15408s | Senna was there for the punish as was |
15410s | Kindred and it feels like whenever |
15413s | Michael wave trip over their shoelaces a |
15415s | little bit Senna is there to give them |
15416s | that one last little push over the edge |
15419s | typically in the form of a rail shot to |
15421s | whoever was not paying enough attention |
15423s | to Senna senna's the breaking point |
15426s | right there's way too many instances |
15428s | where she just finds either just a rail |
15430s | gun head shot or is on this flank and it |
15433s | works out so incredibly well to whisp |
15435s | ember's favor and they're no longer |
15437s | overpacking these off angles Michael |
15440s | wave's chaotic play style doesn't handle |
15442s | well when you have to turn in so many |
15444s | different directions and it really does |
15446s | feed into it make it grow so almost your |
15448s | entire plan implodes from the center |
15451s | with members they really did start to |
15453s | Showcase that here on the beach now as |
15455s | we went over to volcano you mentioned it |
15457s | was a lot closer there weren't these |
15459s | massive differences you got to see |
15461s | within the team but it just came down to |
15463s | Senna being the extra Factor whisp |
15467s | ember's break point and and take nothing |
15469s | away from the rest of the team because |
15470s | yeah we can see Senna absolutely |
15472s | fragging 10 final blows there but hkey |
15474s | had 12 Kindred with 15 the whole team of |
15477s | whsp Embers is popping off and I think |
15479s | puu is actually doing a lot to |
15481s | facilitate that especially helping sen |
15483s | out with some of these flanks being |
15485s | there whenever H ke needs her and you |
15487s | know also being there to speed Shephard |
15489s | uh Kindred around wherever she needs to |
15491s | go to deal out 11k damage Kindred is a a |
15495s | very aggressive frontliner right now but |
15497s | hey it's making space for the rest of |
15500s | wisp Embers to collapse in here's |
15502s | another thing to note too look at the |
15504s | deaths on AJ Amar though that 10 deaths |
15507s | on a control map CB that couldn't have |
15510s | gone met more than 10 minutes itself |
15512s | ajmar was the primary target for Wisp |
15515s | Embers and got caught out a lot more |
15517s | more than what we're used to seeing from |
15518s | them we need to see Michael wave do a |
15520s | better job at helping their supports |
15522s | stay alive they're the foundation for |
15524s | your push and your composition you don't |
15526s | have them not going to be able to make |
15527s | any further progress the bad news is |
15530s | I've also kind of noticed that same |
15532s | pattern especially with Michael wave |
15534s | it's something that feels like it's been |
15535s | playing them for a long time it's if |
15537s | ajmr is being pressured down there's not |
15540s | always going to be enough PE for them to |
15542s | stay alive there's not always going to |
15543s | be a whole lot of you know a whole lot |
15546s | that you can do to stop that and if ajmr |
15548s | falls then suddenly you can't to stay in |
15550s | your front line we'll talk about that to |
15551s | we're blue in the face but that's why I |
15553s | kind of like the Arisa comp a little bit |
15555s | because you do have the option to turn |
15557s | around and put a javelin into the enemy |
15559s | ratra as they're going back for that |
15561s | assassination but we didn't really see |
15562s | that for the little bit that we were |
15564s | seeing Mari play the Arisa composition |
15566s | and I think if that's an option that |
15568s | they want to go for that's a small |
15569s | little micro adjustment I'd like to see |
15571s | Mari make that might end up meaning the |
15573s | world to ajmr and the success of Michael |
15576s | wave overall we're going into our second |
15578s | map here which is going to be Kings Row |
15580s | and I got to imagine a map like this |
15582s | where a lot of it is going to be Level |
15584s | Playing Field with little bits of high |
15585s | ground ammr is still going to be Public |
15588s | Enemy Number One for whs members and |
15591s | there's absolutely no reason to stop |
15593s | that Michael wave are a very frontally |
15595s | focused team once they start going it's |
15598s | like the S key is Unbound there is no |
15600s | way back and it leaves players like agmr |
15603s | vulnerable especially when you your |
15604s | opponent is as competent as is they will |
15607s | be aware when you're are making these |
15609s | plays and they'll capitalize on some of |
15611s | those minuscule errors that you might |
15613s | not think about at the beginning now |
15615s | with we that being completely caught off |
15616s | guard Beach being a bit of a mess we got |
15620s | to see that start to pull together here |
15622s | on Kings Row Michael wave won it last |
15625s | time around even if it was a battle |
15628s | tooth and nail see if they can find a |
15631s | similar outcome this time around you |
15633s | said uh you said they had the S key |
15635s | Unbound but you know what h key has been |
15637s | Unleashed through the through the he you |
15640s | like I was saying and Kindred has as |
15641s | well it feels like whsp Embers it's |
15643s | almost like night and day you know from |
15645s | what we saw towards the tail end of the |
15646s | last series what we're seeing out of |
15648s | them right now and again Michael wave |
15650s | this is kind of what we expect out of |
15652s | them very I don't want to keep saying |
15654s | the word sloppy cuz it's not always |
15656s | sloppy but it is chaotic and it does |
15657s | kind of rely a lot on death to be the |
15659s | one to pop off and that's what kind of |
15661s | happens when you're not always in |
15663s | control of things when you don't always |
15665s | have the most firm grasp on what's going |
15667s | out what's going on underneath you you |
15669s | know you do kind of rely on hero plays |
15671s | from your soj rather than setting your |
15673s | soj up for hero plays like we're seeing |
15675s | coming out from Senna and again take |
15677s | nothing away from Senna she's a |
15678s | phenomenal player as is death but you |
15680s | have to set these soons up for success |
15682s | and whis bembers are doing a much better |
15685s | job at this point in time at doing just |
15688s | that it's almost like that Michael wave |
15690s | have learned bad habits from Death |
15693s | successfulness on the soldier just in |
15695s | the neutral without any setup coming |
15697s | through so now they just expect it to |
15699s | happen every time and it almost feels |
15701s | that that could be a reason why they're |
15703s | not able to give the merely as much |
15705s | space on these different fights here and |
15708s | and especially with a point as King's |
15710s | Row we like to see the splits come out |
15712s | with the lucios and soj will be making |
15714s | way to Theo this time H ke will come in |
15717s | on in assist pooru kind of peppers them |
15720s | away Michael way being forced back |
15722s | without any real engagement taken thus |
15725s | far with members find the objective |
15727s | while po you is solely focused on making |
15730s | sure the the Lucio and the sold sa put |
15732s | you're in timeout in this staircase |
15734s | losing out on death though microw wave |
15736s | walled off and hurting are they going to |
15739s | be able to recover the answer likely no |
15742s | that's pretty much their entire team |
15743s | falling on down off of whs Embers |
15746s | dividing and conquering something that I |
15747s | thought was a little bit interesting was |
15749s | Zoe was playing that High Ground as well |
15750s | to try and defend it you had Zoe on one |
15752s | High Ground death on another and wisp |
15754s | Embers sent Senna hqy and poru all |
15757s | around so it ended up being like a 3v3 |
15759s | split up there on The High Ground and HQ |
15761s | just got the better of Zoe in that |
15762s | exchange and started to find a lot more |
15764s | value and now whsb is looking to try and |
15766s | stagger some of these bodies out for |
15768s | microw wave so they can push their way |
15769s | through Archway W with the bo kill they |
15771s | run to hkey though means whis bembers |
15772s | have to play it a little bit slow |
15774s | without their ability to build some |
15775s | walls section anybody off they can't |
15777s | really hold this space Michael wave have |
15779s | bought their way into this |
15781s | Archway and a great time for them to do |
15784s | so look at that blizzard almost on line |
15787s | if you saw the first game Michael wave |
15788s | played in today Boe was Finding |
15790s | incredible valkum out of this ultimate |
15793s | and if here's the time to pull out you |
15795s | don't want anun to have anything with |
15797s | the amplification Matrix only sen up |
15799s | Frozen up for the time being but it |
15800s | opens the doori to go in and just punch |
15803s | some people down into the ground this is |
15806s | where Michael W can now move towards |
15808s | that spawn room and he wh em in the I |
15811s | mean you would like that but HQ is not |
15813s | going to let that happen she pops the |
15814s | blizzard it's going to catch it's going |
15816s | to catch both and ajmr and once again |
15818s | ajmr the first to fall yeah Mari gets |
15820s | the trade back but without your Baptist |
15822s | you're not going to want to stick around |
15823s | this spawn hold has been busted before |
15825s | it could even realistically be set up W |
15827s | Falls as well whisp Embers they might |
15829s | have just cracked this Michael wave I |
15831s | think got a little over zealous honestly |
15834s | TB I think they had the right idea the |
15836s | whole team wasn't with them though HP |
15838s | pulling that blizzard out and taking |
15840s | down angmar you had to get out of there |
15842s | but they didn't really retreat at any |
15844s | point and that's going to cost them even |
15847s | further I mean it it's also you know |
15850s | just hqy seeing an opportunity to put up |
15852s | a wall seeing two lonely players that |
15855s | can't be helped by the rest of their |
15856s | team putting up a wall and throwing down |
15857s | the blizzard and that's smart M play |
15859s | that we're seeing from a lot of these |
15861s | top tier teams and I hate to keep giving |
15862s | Zoe a hard time but compared to the |
15864s | other maze in this top four it feels |
15866s | like she's been just a step behind she's |
15868s | picking up the slack and she definitely |
15869s | needs to if Michael wave want to stay in |
15872s | this Michael wave that's ant Matrix |
15875s | really |
15877s | defensive don't get |
15879s | much neutral position death oping to pop |
15883s | out the |
15884s | overclockers on either side as well kind |
15887s | of this waiting game that over Health |
15889s | goes down this is where things are going |
15890s | to start to get a little sticky or a |
15893s | little bit purple and orange Kindred |
15896s | Mari ultimate out of piece yet it is |
15898s | Kindred to come out on top pushing on a |
15901s | forward through the second objective now |
15904s | in Jeopardy Michael wave be unable to |
15907s | make another reasonable contest they're |
15909s | going to have to finish this one off in |
15911s | The Foundry and what happens in that |
15913s | fight there though is Kindred puts her |
15915s | back to where ajmr is playing so they |
15917s | don't have to focus down ajmr the same |
15919s | way that they traditionally have been |
15921s | she just has to stop ajmr from being |
15923s | able to assist Mari on her Annihilation |
15925s | so Kindred ends up getting the better of |
15927s | that exchange as do the rest of whsp |
15928s | Embers as they all come forward as a |
15930s | collective having successfully cut off |
15932s | the lifeline again without even having |
15935s | to focus down ajm whis members |
15937s | understand the value of taking out the |
15939s | enemy Baptist and ajmr needs to start |
15941s | playing a little bit safer but a little |
15943s | bit |
15944s | smarter I mean you would like to see |
15946s | that but what can agmr even do in fights |
15948s | like this that was the blizzard chucked |
15949s | out from zoy Michael wave tried to push |
15951s | on in but with beers they were ready |
15953s | they had the damage the focus fire on |
15955s | point it was a completely dry flight at |
15956s | the cost of a major ultimate Michael |
15959s | wave will be fighting on their own |
15961s | doorstep and they don't have anything to |
15963s | work with they're going to swap over Zoe |
15965s | onto the Genji that's her Comfort pick |
15967s | but with HQ holding on to a blizzard I'm |
15969s | not sure how comfortable she's going to |
15970s | be feeling I hope she brought her |
15971s | snowshoes cuz she's going to have quite |
15973s | the mountain to climb on that Genji Mari |
15976s | coming close to an Annihilation and |
15977s | death also kind of coming close to an |
15980s | overclock if this fight goes long they |
15982s | might be able to build up with those |
15983s | ultimates but annun wants to put it to |
15985s | bed with an ant Matrix on The High |
15987s | Ground Senna doesn't have an angle she |
15988s | has to drop sen gets the angle the |
15991s | blizzard goes on out Mari free for the |
15994s | taking whisp Embers now their confidence |
15996s | has has sorn the fight has not gone |
15998s | close to long enough that microwave |
16000s | could build up those ultimates in time |
16003s | it is wisp Embers with 249 on the clock |
16007s | a great showing here on their King's Row |
16009s | attack this really does start to tell |
16011s | the story of how Michael wave's chaotic |
16013s | gameplay can be tempered by a squad such |
16017s | as them I mean I didn't even I don't |
16018s | even know if I would say their chaotic |
16020s | came gameplay is being tempered as well |
16021s | as it's being just outright counter just |
16023s | completely turned on its head it didn't |
16025s | ever feel aside from that one fight |
16027s | where Michael wave were able to get a |
16028s | couple kills and lock down the archway |
16030s | that they were ever in control but even |
16032s | that they kind of blew up in their face |
16034s | by going for that spawn hold and hkey |
16036s | Pops a blizzard and just completely |
16037s | turns that on its head and Michael wave |
16040s | had no way that they could have ever saw |
16041s | that coming no way to prep for it and |
16043s | definitely no plan B is and even it's |
16046s | one of those things right where you see |
16047s | your tank going in getting caught out |
16049s | you want to try and go in and make the |
16050s | save does wi but she ends up Falling |
16052s | Towards the tail end of it as well and |
16054s | now you've lost three players you don't |
16056s | have the slightest hope of getting back |
16057s | in time to lock down that Archway |
16059s | properly and then it just snowballs out |
16061s | of control from there that's the value |
16064s | that a good May player can give your |
16065s | team that's the value that hkey is |
16067s | giving to whsp Embers right now value |
16069s | that Michael wave aren't adequately |
16071s | dealing with and that it feels like they |
16073s | are in their own right |
16076s | lacking Michael wave and something has |
16079s | to come out and change and I really hope |
16081s | what we see from Mari teasing on the |
16083s | orisa is what stays wh right now are |
16087s | looking rather |
16089s | Unstoppable the momentum they've managed |
16091s | to gain thus far and with the orisa |
16093s | reing true Michael wave ready to try to |
16095s | switch it up and I I I do kind of like |
16097s | this switch up from Michael wave not |
16099s | just because of the Arisa playing well |
16100s | into the ratra which it does but because |
16102s | it's Mari once again leading the CH to |
16104s | try and make up the difference for |
16105s | Michael wave if she's been their biggest |
16107s | strength their biggest asset and if she |
16109s | keeps leveraging that flexibility sooner |
16111s | or later this broken clock will be right |
16113s | at least twice a day and that's all you |
16115s | need to get to a map five that's where |
16117s | Michael wave seem to shine as we've seen |
16119s | today they're trying to take this High |
16121s | Ground wrestle it away from Santa and |
16123s | boru but hp's there with the wall to try |
16125s | and slow it down W getting caught out is |
16127s | she able to stay alive she is but not |
16129s | will but Zoe won't oh that's a torge |
16132s | real shot to the Dome Michael wave they |
16134s | have the right idea taking The High |
16135s | Ground you just don't count for sna |
16137s | hitting the shot but s did through the |
16139s | same in their own soier counterparts |
16141s | them hitting the hay no tank online wisp |
16144s | Embers are going to be backing the heck |
16146s | out his objective switching over to the |
16147s | junker Queen and it appears players are |
16149s | lurking around for a potential recontest |
16151s | it was it was almost a wickah Wednesday |
16153s | there but it is still thankfully Wick a |
16155s | weekend as her play her her her over |
16158s | agressive plays are still paying off it |
16160s | despite nearly getting caught out there |
16162s | it was Zoe that ended up paying the |
16164s | price but death made up the deficit with |
16166s | a couple of key rail shots and also an |
16168s | early kill on to Kindred and again you |
16170s | lose your main tank you lose your |
16171s | staying power Michael wave can start to |
16173s | swarm the points start to force |
16174s | positioning and that's great you don't |
16175s | even really need Zoe for that at that |
16177s | point in time but unfortunately Zoe's |
16179s | going to be lagging a little bit behind |
16181s | on the blizzard charge and on this |
16182s | Archway you definitely want to have that |
16184s | sooner rather than later HQ getting |
16186s | close to hers you got to imagine that |
16188s | whis bembers are playing for that |
16189s | ultimate and looking to leverage it not |
16192s | a knife onto |
16194s | ajmr over to the Jer Queen would be |
16196s | scary you don't have anything to protect |
16198s | against the amplification Matrix that's |
16200s | a second down for death anytime this |
16202s | ultimate comes on up you're expecting at |
16204s | least one in the kill be |
16206s | of Michael waves soj a that's efficiency |
16210s | at its finest and he in with a late kill |
16212s | there onto death but death did all they |
16213s | needed to do in order to win that fight |
16215s | now we've broken through the archway and |
16217s | we able to do so without having to worry |
16220s | about the aention blizzard just because |
16221s | of that ant Matrix and because of that |
16223s | one kill that comes through as a result |
16225s | before that window even slam shut Now |
16228s | Zoe is getting a little bit more caught |
16229s | up and the rest of the ult advantage is |
16231s | kind of favoring Michael wave right |
16233s | about now so they can ride this momentum |
16235s | ride this wave if you will and try and |
16237s | get Street space closed out with time in |
16239s | the bank the overclock wanting to |
16241s | partner up with the ultimate of the tank |
16243s | and it's enough to snag for you caught |
16245s | on Zoe's wall preventing any form of |
16248s | Escape like a wave now to immortality |
16252s | field a little bit earlier might be a |
16254s | little bit problem if quite goes on long |
16256s | enough wi got down barrier a nice backup |
16259s | plan to go on through whis emers they're |
16261s | committing four ultimates into this |
16263s | fight they still think it's winable and |
16264s | the blizzard is making it just that |
16266s | Target so easy to hit for seta fish in a |
16270s | barrel Michael wave going have to take |
16273s | another swing at things but at what cost |
16276s | I mean wi's not done swinging right now |
16278s | with a poop there almost actually finds |
16280s | the cap that was very very close but it |
16282s | was super costly for both teams Kindred |
16285s | though is going to have that Rampage and |
16287s | Michael wave they don't have anything |
16289s | realistically that they can do to stop |
16291s | it so they have to try and first of all |
16293s | identify that that's the biggest threat |
16295s | secondly they're going to have to to |
16296s | find a way to kite it out and they got |
16297s | to do it quickly because remember 249 in |
16300s | the time B for whis Embers if Michael |
16302s | wave have a hope of coming even in the |
16303s | same zip code as that time bank they got |
16306s | to be swift here they can't afford long |
16307s | drawn out fights with a lot of mistakes |
16309s | they can't keep tripping over their |
16310s | shoelaces they got to go one and done |
16313s | they're going to make their attempts |
16314s | repping around the far s side of the |
16316s | building Mayall already out and that's |
16318s | prime time for ker to strike three |
16319s | players Knocked Up in purple and the |
16322s | rest are on the wrong side of the kill |
16324s | feed but the right one for Senna |
16326s | oh that's one way to lose a fight really |
16328s | quickly a benefit for Michael wave you |
16330s | could say yeah call Michael wave Oprah |
16332s | Winfrey the way they were all in the |
16333s | color purple right there thanks to |
16335s | Kindred that was beautiful but I mean |
16337s | that's exactly what Michael wave need to |
16338s | do right they need to bait that ultimate |
16339s | out shout out to Senna by the way for |
16341s | getting a 3K there another highlight |
16343s | reel for her but Michael wave have now |
16344s | made up the deficit with that Eco push |
16346s | they don't invest into that now they |
16348s | have a Terra surge now they have an amp |
16349s | Matrix they'll have a beaten an |
16350s | overclock soon enough they have to win |
16352s | this fight though cuz if they don't they |
16354s | might not get another shot or at least |
16356s | not another good shot to capture street |
16359s | phas with time as the two ultimates they |
16361s | do have make a decent combo if they are |
16365s | executed properly that's Mari going in |
16368s | her faster than she could blink my |
16370s | goodness that's T treatment if I have |
16372s | ever seen one they turn around they deal |
16374s | with the flank I mean look at this |
16375s | they're checking on Sena and po you |
16378s | Michael wave has made big steps in the |
16380s | right direction anytime they catch these |
16383s | two flankers the tank gets dealt with |
16385s | and now it's wh Embers that are starting |
16387s | to look a little bit sloppy their game |
16388s | plan their playbook has been read and |
16391s | will now need to write a new one HQ kind |
16393s | of Cask over mon AOS herself there |
16394s | trying to strike back out from behind |
16396s | the wall but that's the value that Mari |
16398s | on this Arisa is going to give you the |
16400s | fact that she can go up K assassination |
16402s | kill onto Kindred and then turn around |
16404s | hit another big Javelin onto the flank |
16406s | and then a third Javelin to force HQ to |
16409s | use both the ice block and the May wall |
16410s | just to stay alive she does but it's all |
16412s | for not as Michael wave do cap the point |
16414s | here's a teror sech Michael wave one |
16416s | more oh and they're getting both DPS out |
16418s | of it massive plays going in yes it is |
16421s | going to cost you three ultimates but |
16423s | look how far this payload is going to |
16425s | manage to get off of this fight alone |
16427s | but look at the ults for Wisp Embers |
16429s | though like they haven't invested ever |
16430s | since kindred's annihilate or kindred's |
16432s | Rampage a couple fights ago now they |
16434s | have the blizzard and that's going to |
16435s | make it so difficult never mind who |
16439s | cares about the blizzard Mari just kills |
16440s | H ke outright it's Senna they got to |
16442s | worry about though it is sen they have |
16444s | to worry about and zoy with a blizzard |
16447s | of her own and that manag to make an |
16449s | appearance yes it doesn't catch anybody |
16451s | off right and you don't deal with s the |
16454s | at Matrix from whisp Embers that will be |
16456s | the thing to start to turn the tide back |
16458s | into their favor cost them the three |
16460s | ultimates to do so but have guaranteed |
16463s | themselves a much higher time pick over |
16465s | their opponent at the very least yeah |
16466s | but I mean because you kill HQ early and |
16468s | she can't use the blizzard spoilers she |
16470s | still has the blizzard and wi is nowhere |
16472s | near a sound barrier to try and counter |
16474s | it out so she's going to have to use her |
16475s | speed boost just to try and kite it |
16477s | probably even have to leverage AJR's |
16479s | immortality field to try and keep |
16481s | everybody sustained through it you got |
16482s | to imagine mari's going to be ready to |
16484s | use you know the fortify the javelin |
16485s | spin whatever she needs to get out of it |
16487s | this blizzard no matter how you look at |
16489s | it is going to bleed out a ton of |
16491s | resources for Michael wave not least of |
16493s | which is time which Michael wave don't |
16495s | have a whole lot of left no and even |
16498s | that short little saw that we see right |
16499s | now this is basically going to be the |
16502s | last full team fight we are going to |
16504s | have and it's not the blizzard they |
16505s | worried about is Rampage through the |
16508s | backline Kindred with two whisp Embers |
16511s | now on their last limb are they going to |
16514s | try to reset this the fact that it's |
16515s | Scrappy often tells me that they will |
16517s | not give up until every single one of |
16519s | them has gone down and hit the dust |
16523s | theard HP has held it on for this |
16526s | freaking long and Michael wave to come |
16529s | back to bite them in the butt and she |
16532s | she hasn't needed to use the blizzard |
16534s | and the rampage that kred used earlier |
16535s | caught wi so wi is still behind in sound |
16538s | barrier charge so again this wizard is |
16539s | going to bleed out more time more |
16541s | resources wi's dead again she's not |
16543s | going to get the sound barrier now if |
16545s | she doesn't be an OT Michael wave they |
16547s | can't win this map anymore no this might |
16550s | just very well be done it's a 5v3 make |
16552s | that a 5v2 ajmr is going to get |
16555s | staggered and like with beever you're |
16557s | done you're not taking a full team fight |
16559s | against the blizzard H throws it out |
16561s | super early to prevent any of these |
16563s | players from getting a last minute touch |
16565s | in onto the objective spotted Lucio on |
16568s | the high grounds I mean whsp Embers they |
16570s | placed top two for a good reason they're |
16573s | up 20 in this series they want to have |
16576s | that rematch in this Grand finals |
16578s | Michael wave have so much housekeeping |
16581s | that needs to be done yesterday they |
16584s | like they need to clean a lot of this up |
16586s | there's still high points for this team |
16587s | like Mari but they don't get any more |
16590s | options any more opportunities no more |
16592s | map losses or they are done they are not |
16594s | not going to be making it to our grand |
16596s | finals one last shot and there's so many |
16599s | of these fights where it feels like |
16600s | their composition is favored mari's |
16602s | playing out of her minds but just |
16603s | something goes wrong and it's not always |
16606s | the same thing it's not always ajmr |
16608s | getting caught out it's not always Wier |
16610s | getting caught out sometimes it's Zoe |
16612s | using a bad ultimate or it's death |
16613s | getting caught out or any number of |
16615s | problems but they need to find what all |
16617s | of these problems are get them all in |
16620s | like one Tight Ball and throw it out the |
16622s | window clean it all up their house is |
16624s | absolutely fil right now and they need |
16626s | to bust out the broom to get the reverse |
16628s | sweep if they want to stay in this and |
16632s | it's it's not going to be a reverse easy |
16634s | reverse sweep to come back probably the |
16636s | most difficult that they have faced all |
16639s | day you have to begin to question is it |
16641s | a matter of endurance this team has |
16643s | played a grueling five map series prior |
16647s | to facing up against whip wisp Enders a |
16649s | more challenging opponent than before |
16652s | and now here they are with the run that |
16654s | they've made through the lower bracket |
16656s | at the brink of losing it all and things |
16659s | just got to be cleaner the ultimate |
16661s | management some of the positioning |
16662s | things and it's not the best that we've |
16664s | seen in them CV we know that they can do |
16667s | better it is here in the losers finals |
16669s | that they just haven't been able to |
16670s | Showcase that whsp Emperors have been |
16672s | doing so many things right and |
16674s | capitalizing of what Michael wave didn't |
16676s | even think would be problems and it |
16678s | doesn't even feel entirely to me at |
16680s | least that it's wisp Embers just being |
16682s | straight up the better team it feels to |
16684s | me like they're the hungrier team right |
16686s | now I mean Michael wave they're hungry |
16688s | as well but maybe the lights are on just |
16690s | a little bit too bright for them right |
16691s | now maybe they can put the shades on try |
16693s | and figure something out but looking at |
16696s | this scoreboard right now have a look at |
16697s | Senna right now cuz I spoke to her |
16700s | specifically she wants to win calling |
16702s | all heroes so badly and that loss |
16704s | against Timeless ethereal in the last |
16706s | matchup that is killing her right now it |
16708s | is it is driving her insane and she's |
16711s | taking it out on Michael wave right |
16713s | now the loss against time with theal has |
16716s | sparked senna's flame and my goodness |
16720s | those are some ridiculous numbers to |
16722s | have to look at right now and you're |
16725s | just not getting the same amount of |
16727s | value like the damage numbers can be the |
16729s | same about across the board yet it is |
16731s | Senna showing up for her team and and |
16735s | she's hungry she wants the win whether |
16737s | she's playing from the hospital or not |
16739s | there is no debuff on this player in |
16742s | Hospital cafeteria food sucks anyway she |
16744s | is hungry for real something more |
16746s | substantial like a |
16748s | trophy yeah understandably right and hey |
16751s | they're just about to do it if this next |
16754s | map of flasho goes exactly the way that |
16756s | King's roow did and where Michael wave |
16758s | are progressively looking sloppier and |
16760s | sloppier I mean Sasa very well could be |
16763s | the map to book their ticket get that |
16766s | rematch and then seta can finally |
16768s | unrelease your true rage and now that |
16770s | I'm actually thinking about it this is |
16772s | really bad for Michael wave cuz I |
16774s | remember interviewing wi earlier today |
16776s | and she was even saying that she felt |
16778s | like flash point was a weak point for |
16780s | them that it was kind of you know they |
16781s | trolled they threw a little bit they |
16783s | weren't playing up to their strengths |
16785s | well I feel like that's happened a lot |
16788s | with Michael wave over the course of |
16789s | calling all heroes you know they aren't |
16791s | the best team when it comes to flasho |
16793s | they do often make some of these big |
16794s | mistakes granted like you know yesterday |
16796s | we saw them absolutely pop off on this |
16798s | map and it was incredible but we need to |
16800s | see that today because this is their |
16801s | last stand it's their last chance and |
16803s | it's on a place where they have been |
16805s | even more sloppy than we've seen in the |
16807s | first half of this series they have to |
16809s | start the reverse sweep and what an |
16811s | awful place to have that pressure being |
16813s | applied right now yeah flasho is the map |
16817s | type generally is decided by who has the |
16820s | better ultimate management who has the |
16822s | better positioning the decision making |
16824s | and there's so many question marks |
16827s | Michael wave have this insane clutch |
16829s | Factor there is no doubt there but you |
16832s | can't win fights you can't start fights |
16835s | with that sort of mentality without a |
16837s | stable plan that wisp Embers don't |
16840s | already understand themselves and are |
16842s | able to properly counter it out and it |
16844s | it's seriously becoming a matter flasho |
16846s | in general yeah it makes sense that |
16849s | Michael wave feels that it's their |
16850s | weakness it latens the farthest away |
16853s | from their desired play style which is |
16855s | kind of counterintuitive when you think |
16857s | about it CU like flasho can often be |
16859s | really chaotic you know flasho and push |
16861s | are kind of you know different beasts |
16863s | when it comes to the way a lot of these |
16864s | play out you know you'll still see a lot |
16866s | of the brawl coming out on both of them |
16868s | but it's where you're going to be |
16869s | playing a lot more for these angles it's |
16870s | where you're going to start seeing a lot |
16872s | more you know new strategies come out I |
16874s | don't think the strategies Michael wave |
16875s | is showing me right now is what's |
16876s | actually going to come out at least I |
16878s | hope not but never say never hey you |
16881s | know what lean into the chaos bring out |
16883s | Mao who cares like at this point in time |
16886s | if it works it works I can say I haven't |
16888s | seen Mari practicing this particular |
16890s | hero in scrims all that often not that |
16893s | you know maa's a high skill hero that |
16894s | really takes all that much skill |
16896s | regardless but all right Michael wave |
16898s | going to swap it back to something a |
16899s | little bit less chaotic a little more |
16901s | standard but have a look at whis 's |
16903s | composition they're playing the junker |
16905s | Queen variation interestingly though |
16907s | anion is not on the Kido that might |
16909s | leave her a little bit vulnerable but it |
16911s | will mean Michael waves still have to |
16913s | worry about those pesky lamps being |
16914s | thrown out some pesky angles and |
16916s | whenever those ant matrixes come online |
16918s | you got to keep your eyes on |
16921s | Senna honestly wisp Embers are arguably |
16924s | on their best heroes right now Kindred |
16927s | the best junker Queen in this turn and |
16929s | only rivaled by Mari these are the two t |
16932s | fans that you really like to look at s |
16936s | up in the composition M wave really |
16939s | expecting this one to come out we manage |
16941s | to dodge around the May wall all a |
16943s | little bit Freer to do not having to |
16945s | worry about the same ability HP on that |
16948s | Genji instead able to take this fight a |
16951s | little bit slower you can notice how |
16953s | they're waiting for players to get in |
16954s | position seta and poru occupying The |
16957s | High Ground so even if Michael wave want |
16958s | to try to set their foot on this point |
16960s | Who's going to contest HQ who's going to |
16962s | contest Anu they're essentially in a god |
16964s | spot right now kred can walk on forward |
16966s | knowing that they have her back and Sena |
16968s | just hitting the shots as usual whis |
16970s | bembers they had this planned out yeah |
16973s | yeah yeah Senna just kind of goes in |
16976s | lays everybody flat on their backs and I |
16978s | got to be honest here despite the fact |
16980s | that I think the ratra comp is generally |
16981s | favored for Michael wave I want to see |
16983s | them swap I want to see them |
16985s | what whis Embers is currently doing so |
16987s | you can get Zoe off of this may and get |
16988s | her onto her Comfort hero that is the |
16990s | Genji I think if ever there was a time |
16993s | to pull out a composition that's going |
16994s | to lean into a potential star player |
16996s | who's been quiet because of being forced |
16998s | to play the May it is now especially |
17000s | going up against H key that's a Genji 1 |
17002s | V1 I want to see just to see the |
17004s | fireworks but if Zoe could get the edge |
17006s | in that that could be a Tipping Point |
17008s | for Michael wave but right now they have |
17009s | to rely on Zoe building up to this |
17011s | blizzard and seeing where she leverages |
17013s | it but death going to take take down |
17015s | Senna now the door's wide open for |
17017s | Michael wave they come storming through |
17019s | coming on in it's only the Dragon Blade |
17021s | the sword being unleash H alive slicing |
17024s | and dicing yet there's so many cool |
17027s | Downs shoved into their face the damage |
17029s | cannot find an actual elimination the |
17032s | Blizzard from Zoe even ended up coming |
17035s | out way wave did have to win this fight |
17037s | or they would have lost Point |
17039s | understandable diting a little bit extra |
17041s | into this objective but Ed picks off two |
17044s | the booms from H you the support Duo CB |
17047s | they were never touched a ended up |
17048s | returning and whs peppers walk away with |
17051s | Market but realistically that should not |
17053s | have happened Kindred is now on the MAA |
17056s | we have uh unfortunately seen MAA |
17059s | rearing his ugly head in calling all |
17061s | heroes officially swapped to it on |
17063s | control briefly but now it's like |
17064s | actually in play not just as like a |
17066s | troll stall hero and by the way go let's |
17068s | go back to that back that last fight |
17070s | really quick that kind of comes down to |
17072s | anu's first of all her pure mechanical |
17074s | skills a Flex support player one of the |
17075s | best we have no doubt but also the fact |
17077s | that like you said she was on The High |
17079s | Ground the entire time no one ever |
17081s | touched her and by the time it feels |
17083s | like Michael wave win that fight it's |
17084s | anun again with a kill onto agmr all the |
17087s | sustainability for Michael wave gone out |
17089s | the window now death with another |
17091s | overclock trying to give microwave an |
17093s | edge back into this |
17095s | game will get them the objective without |
17098s | a fight ensuing just yet which is |
17101s | progress nonetheless even if seta is a |
17103s | little scary it's with poor for you is |
17105s | you need to be nailed down order for the |
17108s | tank to stand behind the malga an |
17110s | interesting switch off and honestly |
17112s | that's going to come back to get with |
17114s | Embers on the downside of this battle |
17117s | expecting the swap there it is juner |
17119s | Queen making the reappearance and |
17120s | Michael wave now sitting on the point |
17122s | yeah kred done trolling back on her |
17124s | signature hero there that's enough of |
17126s | malga for an eternity if you ask me but |
17128s | I mean death might actually not be too |
17130s | happy to see the swap coming out because |
17132s | death could have just continuously |
17133s | charged rail shots left and right off |
17135s | the malga but now no longer has a big |
17137s | beefy hit box to do that with so you |
17140s | know they're going to be at least a |
17141s | little bit more quiet than they were |
17142s | before as they try to charge those up |
17144s | that said they've been phenomenal in the |
17145s | neutral when it comes to those rail |
17147s | shots but on the side of Michael wave |
17149s | it's the annihilation in the ant Matrix |
17151s | that you're going to be leveraging to |
17152s | try and get this in all the way to |
17154s | 99 the ant Matrix is up but guess what |
17157s | you can move right around or your Sena |
17159s | shoot through one of your own oh an for |
17162s | you and Senna have been three High |
17164s | players out of wisp Embers winning the |
17167s | fight on their own they just need the |
17169s | extra thing to convert it on out Senna |
17171s | is still going by understand that it is |
17174s | a major threat to have to deal with HQ |
17176s | contesting the point decides to pull out |
17178s | the blade with half of their HP to spare |
17180s | going it Ste fights both support |
17182s | throughout all of this all right with |
17184s | Embers never give up never surrender cuz |
17186s | HQ has got a blade in the pocket yeah |
17189s | but uh well had a blade in the pocket no |
17191s | longer does she have it I mean Michael |
17193s | wave wi wasn't around to to pop the |
17195s | sound Barry to stop that but she will |
17197s | have that to stop whatever comes out |
17198s | looking like it's going to be sent as |
17199s | overclock but Michael wave have the |
17201s | Blizzard from Zoe that's going to be |
17203s | their meal ticket their entry to get |
17205s | back in here and win this point outright |
17207s | if they go in and they if they're able |
17208s | to realistically just freeze up Kindred |
17210s | and deal with the the the immortality |
17212s | field from anun that's going to come out |
17214s | in response that should be enough to win |
17216s | the fight but they got to do it before s |
17218s | an angle there's a b you that's one |
17221s | that's two off the F foru continues to |
17225s | third oh my God that's a 4K courtesy of |
17229s | whsp Anders Lucio we cannot hype her up |
17232s | enough my God po you keep on showing us |
17236s | this cuz I don't know if we're ever |
17237s | going to see it again and that's as Zoe |
17240s | pops the blizzard she's done on the |
17241s | she's done on the May she's swapping |
17243s | over to the Genji and I think that's the |
17244s | right call for her especially after an |
17246s | ultimate like that goes Belly Up |
17247s | courtesy is just something you could |
17249s | have never seen coming po you with 4K |
17252s | two of them environmentals and whis they |
17255s | don't even let Michael wave in the front |
17256s | door they don't get to touch the point |
17258s | Zoe Falls whisp Embers they've got to |
17260s | beat their they got to kick rocks they |
17262s | got to head for the hills they only have |
17263s | one more Point left and they are if they |
17266s | can't cap it here they're |
17267s | done oh Michael wave really are on their |
17272s | last limb they're looking at a reverse |
17274s | sweep off the map then reverse sweep of |
17276s | the entire series to make it to the |
17278s | Grand finals and the Wisp Embers are in |
17281s | top form the fire has burned yet to be |
17284s | controll and I wonder if it's reaching a |
17285s | point where it's Unstoppable CB wi is |
17288s | still holding on to the sound barrier |
17289s | from a couple fights ago but poro has |
17290s | made up the difference that's a great |
17291s | win there of the Genji 1 V one for Zoe |
17293s | that's going to be crucial especially as |
17295s | HQ was starting to get a little bit |
17296s | closer to that Dragon Blade Zoe can |
17298s | start to make up the deficit here but |
17299s | this sound barrier from WIA where is it |
17301s | going to come out poru is going to have |
17302s | one some match that's what I'm looking |
17304s | at right now the Lucio versus the Lucio |
17306s | who is going to Flinch first and who is |
17308s | going to |
17309s | fall every one still on their feet for |
17312s | now Michael wave at the first capture on |
17315s | the objective of wh bers hanging around |
17317s | zoy being over on the skin you can |
17318s | already see the difference in Michael |
17320s | wave's con confidence well the sound be |
17323s | popped at the same time but no team |
17325s | really engaging off of it they're |
17327s | waiting for it to go down cuz Kindred |
17329s | has this Rampage underlock both the DPS |
17332s | sliding in Michael wave wanting to even |
17334s | the playing field and it's zo in death |
17336s | doing far more than that they're tipping |
17337s | the scales entirely this is the change |
17340s | Michael wave needed to make now they're |
17342s | looking a lot better here on surasa have |
17344s | look at H ke's old charge once again not |
17346s | able to build up to the Dragon Blade |
17348s | because Zoe wins another 1 V one this is |
17350s | what I keep saying about Zoe she is one |
17352s | of the best Genji that we have in the |
17354s | entire scene and she's getting a chance |
17355s | to show it here and as long as hke is |
17358s | taking this mirror whis members is no |
17360s | longer feel like they have the pure |
17361s | mechanical favor they have to rely on |
17363s | their ult management their positioning |
17365s | and you their backline just generally |
17367s | being absolutely sick as well as Senna |
17369s | popping off she's got an overclock H key |
17371s | has finally made up the deficit so these |
17373s | DPS players is for whis Embers they're |
17375s | looking to put this one to bed whis |
17378s | Embers fights to win all of the tools in |
17381s | their control and they are building a |
17383s | masterpiece as a result they'll have |
17385s | that point back over into their favor |
17387s | Michael wave are okay with taking the |
17389s | reset was ERS used a lot there they used |
17392s | both the DPS SS I realistically think |
17393s | they didn't need the overclock there and |
17395s | that might come back to bite them and |
17397s | also they used the uh I'm not sure when |
17399s | por you used the sound barrier but it |
17401s | feels like quite recently albeit too |
17403s | recently consider ing look at the the |
17405s | wols for Michael wave zo's got the |
17407s | Dragon Blade Mari has that Rampage those |
17410s | are two wols that you would love to have |
17412s | a sound barrier for it's going to be up |
17413s | to anun with the suzu to try and make up |
17415s | the difference here comes the blade and |
17417s | s's got s's name is all over it so he's |
17420s | got one cut in half find another enough |
17424s | for Michael W the field they can occupy |
17427s | this objective overtime will be starting |
17429s | and who bembers this is the point they |
17432s | are going to end up losing now that m |
17434s | wave have something positive to reflect |
17436s | on they need to take this wave and turn |
17438s | it into a tsunami to stop the fire and |
17440s | Michael wave they finally got their feet |
17442s | under them they're starting to walk |
17443s | they're building up to a run but whsp |
17445s | Embers honestly if HQ swaps back over to |
17447s | a May realistically could just |
17449s | completely trip Michael wave up at the |
17451s | last hurdle there's still two more to go |
17453s | Michael wave are going to go back |
17455s | seemingly get the first control over the |
17457s | gardens Point here as whs members went |
17459s | back to taxi a couple of their members |
17461s | Michael wave still holding on to an ult |
17462s | advantage as well any with the consun |
17465s | rush is realistically the only tool whis |
17466s | members are going to have and you're |
17468s | going to be looking for heru to try and |
17469s | counteract Mar's Rampage here Mari for |
17473s | that cool down to come on out before she |
17475s | makes her move for kred don't walk |
17477s | straight into an at Matrix there's Amari |
17479s | waiting on the other side for you that's |
17481s | the greeting you were perhaps expecting |
17483s | on your junker Queen and Michael wave |
17485s | essentially handed that first fight win |
17487s | with that katun Rush coming out as well |
17490s | best case scenario and it only cost the |
17492s | ant Matrix you still have the chance to |
17493s | U Iz this Rampage the downside is poru |
17496s | has had the opportunity to build to a |
17497s | blizzard or not a blizzard a sound |
17499s | barrier no no blizzards on the field HQ |
17501s | has made the swap to May though so |
17502s | that's something else that we definitely |
17503s | want to highlight though Michael wave |
17505s | winning this fight without using any big |
17507s | ultimates aside from the ant Matrix is |
17509s | crucial they are still going to have to |
17511s | battle it out here those as whis Embers |
17513s | are starting to match in terms of old |
17514s | bank and death Falls overclock oh you |
17518s | just here this ends and it ends for |
17520s | death herself oh terrible outcome |
17522s | microwave need to recover Zer Mari |
17525s | walked into the backline the Rampage |
17528s | there's no suu to prevent the ending |
17530s | effect it's going to cost Mari her life |
17533s | Kindred giving whis Embers the |
17535s | opportunity flipping this point over to |
17537s | the orange side but at an expensive cost |
17541s | and Mari holds on to her Rampage though |
17542s | and I think that's going to be massive |
17543s | cuz po you invested the sound barrier |
17545s | both lucios in fact invested the sound |
17547s | barrier ajmr actually going to swap over |
17549s | onto the Kido so now we are going to |
17551s | have the suzu to counteract some things |
17552s | but not going to be enough to counter AA |
17554s | just going deep to try and take down Zoe |
17556s | here that's a lot more time being taken |
17559s | off the bank and if you're Michael wave |
17560s | you can't afford this again this is your |
17562s | last stand this is where this point |
17565s | specifically on surasa is where I've |
17566s | seen so many dreams go to die Michael W |
17569s | they want to keep theirs alive they |
17571s | can't be staggering out like that they |
17573s | have a chance for maybe one fight and a |
17575s | real staggered out fight here but they |
17577s | have to win this one Zoe's going to have |
17579s | the Dragon Blade she has to be the hero |
17581s | that we have propped her up to be and |
17583s | just knock going to be easy to do |
17584s | fighting through the storm of the |
17586s | blizzard and of course s's overclock |
17589s | Michael wave are making the first move |
17591s | the blade into the back line it forces |
17593s | the blizzard which won't get any value |
17594s | honestly not a bad tradeoff but you have |
17597s | an answer for ca's overclock ajmr does |
17600s | not the healing gets down Amari hits a |
17602s | wall spin Rampage all the tools gone |
17606s | down the drain Michael wave have fought |
17608s | tooth and nail to get to the losers |
17611s | finals and have made it this far yet |
17613s | they're going to have to settle for |
17614s | third place finish the flame bir |
17616s | brighter today is wisp Embers will be |
17618s | rematching in the grand finals and if |
17621s | that wasn't indicative of the whole |
17623s | series I don't know what is Michael wave |
17626s | feeling like they have all the tools to |
17627s | get by all the skills everyone is |
17630s | playing their game to near Perfection |
17632s | and then they run head first into a wall |
17635s | specifically a May wall which makes it |
17637s | all the more poetic because that has |
17638s | been the key sticking point for them in |
17641s | this tournament despite putting Zoe on |
17643s | her Comfort pick on the Genji it comes |
17646s | too little too late whsp Embers off the |
17649s | back of some incredible may play some |
17651s | incredible backline play and Senna just |
17653s | kind of popping off and doing whatever |
17655s | she wants wisp Embers are going to get |
17658s | their rematch they are going to join |
17660s | Timeless ethereal in the grand finals |
17662s | and like I said they want this Senna |
17665s | wants this and you can tell with how |
17668s | hard she's playing and how hard the |
17669s | entire team is playing just how badly |
17672s | they want it |
17675s | whisp Embers Unleashed their full Fury |
17678s | upon Michael wave and have earned |
17680s | themselves the right of the rematch |
17682s | today between poru Sena HK p and of |
17685s | course an the full five players made the |
17688s | store level plays to support each other |
17691s | and of course carry himself to another |
17694s | 30 victory microw wave won't be stopping |
17697s | them today despite the effort the time |
17700s | and how enjoyable it has been to see |
17703s | them grow this is where we have to fit |
17706s | them fairwell and the fact that wh |
17708s | Embers had to push them as far as they |
17710s | did here on this final map does show |
17713s | that adaptability can only do so much |
17717s | against the counterplay quite literally |
17719s | hitting the wall over and over again in |
17723s | this final fight poetic as it was it |
17725s | marks the send off as another one of our |
17728s | team's Falls be it poetic or be it Pros |
17731s | we still have one big story that needs |
17734s | to continue to be told and that is the |
17736s | one that is wisp Embers versus Timeless |
17739s | ethereal which will be our grand finals |
17741s | and your heart does have to go out to |
17743s | Michael wave for play you know they |
17745s | played their hearts out here and it felt |
17747s | so close on so many occasions it felt |
17750s | like they had everything they needed but |
17751s | it just wasn't in the cards today it is |
17754s | not their day and we continue on with |
17756s | the same storyline that has dictated the |
17758s | majority of the calling all heroes |
17760s | tournaments it's Timeless ethereal the |
17762s | juggernauts that have Ruled The Roost |
17764s | pretty much since the get-go and wisp |
17766s | Embers always the Bridesmaids never the |
17768s | brides this time hoping to show up all |
17771s | decked in white but we'll have oner back |
17773s | on the other side of this quick break to |
17774s | break this match up down and set set the |

18025s | welcome back chat what we just witnessed |
18028s | was two teams who were very hungry and |
18030s | very eager to prove themselves but one |
18032s | team was just a little bit more hungry |
18034s | or potentially a lot more hungry today |
18036s | and it was wisp Embers who will be going |
18039s | to our grand finals to face Timeless |
18041s | ethereal but to break it down we brought |
18043s | H back into the fold welcome back thank |
18046s | you very much I mean to be perfectly |
18047s | honest with you it it seemed like wisp |
18049s | they were they were starving today |
18051s | because they were just a they were A Cut |
18052s | Above uh Michael wave for that series |
18055s | there honestly I thought that Michael |
18057s | wave you know their strength might be |
18058s | leaning into the chaos a little bit |
18060s | making things a little bit difficult for |
18063s | um wisp to deal with but it seemed like |
18064s | wisp just had their number at every |
18066s | single turn anytime they tried to lean |
18068s | into the chaotic style and go super wide |
18070s | and do things a little bit less |
18071s | structured whsp always had the answer |
18074s | yeah it seems like you know trying to |
18076s | make it a little bit less comfortable |
18078s | for the enemy team by leading into the |
18079s | chaos and doing so this series they kind |
18081s | of made it a little bit less comfortable |
18083s | for themselves kind of created some more |
18085s | problems than they did solutions would |
18087s | uh tiny would you |
18089s | agree there's several moments where we |
18091s | really started to see that to light |
18093s | where Michael wave it got to the point |
18096s | where they were trying so many different |
18098s | things to come back what wisp ERS had |
18100s | done but it just reveals more issues and |
18103s | after the underbelly of the Beast was |
18105s | struck there really was no recovering |
18107s | from that flow and we got to see that in |
18109s | the finale map of surasa here today we |
18112s | had a lot of like pop off moments from |
18114s | some members of Michael wave but in a |
18116s | lot of these slower fights it kind of |
18118s | felt like whis was kind of getting the |
18120s | better of Michael wave you know you want |
18122s | to like kind of walk us through that a |
18123s | little bit see how some of these slower |
18124s | fights played in their |
18125s | favor yeah because every time we had a |
18128s | slow fight the thing is Michael wave |
18131s | they're so reliant on having individuals |
18133s | go wide and catch someone off guard but |
18135s | whisp was always on guard they were |
18137s | always watching that flank especially |
18139s | with puu and Anan they were always |
18141s | marking these flanks puu was where they |
18143s | needed to be 100% of the time Lucio was |
18146s | running over to the flank and just |
18147s | enabling a DPS player whenever it was |
18149s | required so these solo CU players that |
18151s | we were seeing a lot from out of Michael |
18153s | wave that we're initially finding value |
18155s | versus perhaps some weaker teams now |
18156s | that we're getting to higher levels of |
18158s | play it's just too difficult to work |
18159s | your way into the flank like that you |
18160s | need more structure better timing better |
18162s | team play and that was a little bit |
18164s | lacking here for Michael wave and you |
18165s | mentioned po you and Annie in setting up |
18168s | a particular DPS and I think we want to |
18169s | talk a lot about that DPS in question |
18172s | it's Senna who I think ended up being |
18174s | the star of the show |
18176s | here yeah I'd say we we pretty much do |
18179s | need to talk about sener because the Gap |
18180s | was the Gap was large in this series I |
18183s | can't lie to you really Center was just |
18185s | every time taking a nice wide angle |
18187s | really aggressive applying a lot of |
18188s | pressure and they were hitting the shot |
18190s | you see Center was winning the sergeon |
18191s | DU verse death many many times |
18193s | throughout the series and just |
18194s | consistent value without dying so you |
18196s | know what we might have seen from Death |
18197s | earlier on we saw twice as much from |
18199s | Senna in this series here and Tiny you |
18201s | and I are very familiar with Senna and |
18203s | how good she has been for a very long |
18205s | time she's finally getting a chance to |
18207s | show it how does it feel for you I mean |
18209s | I guess being you know a longtime Sena |
18210s | fan as well as I have uh to see her pop |
18213s | off like this I absolutely love s i me |
18216s | the opportunities that I've had to speak |
18217s | with her myself and she's very proud of |
18219s | everything that she's accomplished |
18221s | because of the hard work that she's |
18222s | really put into this game to being a |
18225s | team player and of course having these |
18226s | incredible pop off moments and you know |
18230s | she came here to win she came here to |
18231s | play we get to look at the stats from |
18234s | today and there really is no doubt in I |
18237s | I would want to say any of our minds |
18239s | that she is going to give it her all |
18242s | within the grand finals Timeless |
18244s | ethereal are they ready for what's |
18245s | coming for him as we uh look forward to |
18248s | the Grand finals like you said Timeless |
18249s | ethereal do they know what's coming for |
18251s | him but more I think more importantly |
18253s | how are wisp Embers going to bounce back |
18256s | after this you know after losing to |
18257s | Timeless ethereal in the upper bracket |
18259s | you know you I think you have a some |
18261s | advice for them for like what they need |
18262s | to do what do they need to lock down in |
18264s | order to get the win in Grand finals is |
18266s | it in the cards for them I really did |
18268s | think that they have a chance because we |
18270s | saw at the beginning of the series |
18272s | between Wisp and timeless it was really |
18273s | close it was really competitive so I |
18275s | think that the fundamentals are truly |
18277s | there but what whis needs to be really |
18278s | careful of is that they're not |
18279s | committing too heavily to the side fight |
18281s | not taking the bait and overloading it |
18283s | putting too many players there because |
18284s | we saw Kindred really starting to |
18286s | struggle when the side fight was |
18287s | overcommitted to everyone just applying |
18289s | lots of pressure onto Kindred and really |
18291s | nothing for them to do so I think that |
18293s | they need to be careful to keep taking |
18294s | the side fight but not overload it not |
18296s | put too many resources into it because |
18298s | there needs to be two simultaneous |
18299s | fights happening between Main and the |
18301s | side angle and the other thing of course |
18303s | is their alt economy where it looked a |
18305s | little bit sloppy you know when things |
18306s | started to get uh you know a bit less |
18308s | favorable for them they started to throw |
18310s | out alts you know left right center and |
18312s | that's just not possible as you get to a |
18313s | higher level of play they really need to |
18315s | be patient with their ultimates wait |
18316s | until the fights have started and then |
18317s | start to use them to catch people once |
18319s | they've used their cool Downs it does |
18321s | look to me at least on first glance like |
18323s | they've taken a lot of that advice and |
18324s | have cleaned a lot of these things up |
18326s | but it needs to be absolutely spotless |
18328s | if they are going to take down the |
18330s | Titans that have been ruling over |
18333s | calling all heroes since the get-go |
18334s | Timeless ethereal but we gassed Senna up |
18337s | a lot in this matchup here so far and |
18339s | it's time for me to gas her up just a |
18341s | little bit more I'm going to send you |
18342s | guys off for just a little bit and I'm |
18344s | going to bring in Senna for an interview |
18346s | reporting live from the hospital |
18348s | apparently Senna |
18350s | hello hello how's it going I it's going |
18354s | great for me I should ask you the same |
18355s | question first of all how is your health |
18357s | how's your heart rate right now how are |
18358s | you feeling okay well my heart rate is |
18361s | quite High because |
18363s | well the Thomas game I kind of I I I had |
18367s | a stinker think well it a bit of a flop |
18369s | for me but uh this game I brought it |
18371s | back so I'll try to keep lock in for |
18372s | next game but I'm happy I got second |
18374s | place or at least in the finals because |
18377s | um I've never been in the finals only |
18379s | got third like four times so this time |
18381s | uh this time I got it I I believe in you |
18384s | as someone who has seen your growth from |
18386s | even before calling all heroes to see |
18387s | you in this position means you know it |
18389s | means a lot to me but for some of these |
18391s | other people who haven't quite seen his |
18392s | as much of you it kind of feels like you |
18394s | have a lot to prove do you kind of feel |
18396s | that do you feel like you have something |
18398s | to prove here |
18399s | today well if I'm being honest not |
18402s | really I think people should know I'm |
18404s | good but uh I know I'm an EU player in |
18407s | an well technically na tournament so I |
18410s | guess in that regard yes but uh if |
18413s | people have S looked at EU they they |
18414s | should know me I think absolutely should |
18417s | and I think there's no doubt that the na |
18419s | audience is going to start catching on |
18420s | to just how good you are in this |
18423s | as a let me ask you about what changed |
18425s | though because the Timeless matchup |
18427s | wasn't yeah like you said it wasn't the |
18429s | best but it looked night and day |
18430s | compared to what you showed us here |
18432s | against Michael wave what changed there |
18434s | and what do you think needs to change |
18436s | for you to beat Timeless this time |
18438s | around I think against Thomas I well I |
18441s | respect a and a lots uh I think they are |
18443s | the best hit in car um I'm not close |
18446s | behinds but I think they're the best and |
18448s | I think I respected them a bit too much |
18450s | so I started stressing out a bit and |
18453s | that's why I kind of just as I said |
18454s | flopped but again in this game because I |
18457s | I'm really hungry to get at least finals |
18459s | which in this case I did get I I was not |
18462s | letting go of the guess I I just wanted |
18463s | to win and get in so so it sounds to me |
18466s | like the key is just don't show any |
18468s | respect right is that what I'm hearing I |
18470s | just need to I just need to focus up I |
18472s | think if I focus up we we have a chance |
18473s | easily just got to lock it in I love it |
18476s | I I mean I've SE like I've seen that |
18478s | over the past couple of days how much |
18480s | how well you've performed when you are |
18482s | this level of locked in it's going to be |
18484s | a little bit longer of a night is you |
18485s | have to stay locked in just a little bit |
18488s | longer but I want to give you one last |
18489s | opportunity you know shout out anybody |
18491s | who want to the floor is yours any last |
18493s | words before I let you go and uh prepare |
18496s | for the final match of the |
18498s | night definitely my entire team but |
18501s | especially uh cap and poor you and Par |
18505s | because cap and Par have helped me a lot |
18507s | to improve in general in this current |
18509s | matter because I was at first not very |
18510s | good at it or at least I didn't really |

18841s | oh |
18853s | ladies and gentlemen gays and V welcome |
18856s | back it is the main event of the evening |
18859s | of the entire calendar year what we have |
18861s | all been building up to this is the |
18864s | grand finals of the calling all heroes |
18867s | championships it is wisp Embers going up |
18870s | against timeless ethereum tiny shiny how |
18873s | do you feel about this one it's been a |
18875s | long road to get here how do you |
18877s | feel 10 months CB it has been 10 months |
18881s | of competition leading up to this moment |
18884s | right here Timeless ethereal coming away |
18887s | with five out of our six titles the |
18890s | other one belonging to the Wisp Embers |
18893s | roster more often than not wisp Embers |
18895s | have been standing on the sidelines the |
18898s | bridesma to the Bride of Timeless |
18900s | ethereal who has shown prowess and every |
18904s | aspect to put them on top these teams |
18906s | have already faced each other today CB |
18908s | Timeless ethereal it went three oh their |
18911s | way can is wisp Embers manage to bring |
18913s | it back this time around the the curse |
18915s | of second place has to really be |
18917s | bothering wisp Embers right now because |
18919s | again you mentioned five out of the six |
18920s | tournaments that we've had this calendar |
18922s | year have been won by Timeless ethereal |
18924s | but four out of those six it's been wisp |
18927s | Embers that have been second place is |
18929s | that going to be the story today though |
18931s | or will they a to Timeless eal finally |
18935s | there's only one way to find out but it |
18937s | doesn't like it's entirely in their |
18940s | favor given we saw these two teams play |
18941s | earlier tonight and it was not really |
18944s | all that close it looked to be kind of |
18947s | close at least initially but some cracks |
18949s | in the armor started to form but let's |
18951s | talk a little bit about how we got here |
18954s | it's been a long road even just for this |
18956s | tournament let's have a look at the |
18957s | upper bracket tiny how do you feel about |
18959s | how things have shaken out up here |
18962s | things in the upper bracket have gone |
18964s | the way that many people have expected |
18966s | to so far the only difference is perhaps |
18969s | some of these games could have been |
18971s | closer you're looking at two of the most |
18973s | stacked rosters you are going to find |
18975s | within the calling all heroes tournament |
18978s | and Timeless ethereal are welld |
18980s | deserving of their number one seed only |
18982s | dropping a single map in the three days |
18985s | of competition we have now had in the |
18987s | championship bracket bun X10 saw Hill |
18991s | Halo and Z coming back out they want to |
18994s | make that run Flawless and if they keep |
18996s | playing like they did CB we very well |
18998s | could find that result if I could Echo |
19001s | something that I've said a couple times |
19002s | throughout the night this team feels |
19004s | like they are indeed inevitable but |
19007s | their Infinity Gauntlet is missing one |
19009s | Tracer Corgi shaped Stone and today this |
19012s | moment right now is where they look to |
19014s | capture it and cement themselves as the |
19017s | Undisputed greatest of all time in |
19020s | calling all heroes especially in this |
19022s | you know this entire tournament cycle |
19024s | but we have these Scrappy hungry |
19026s | Underdog teams right here like wisp |
19029s | Embers who have gone the distance faced |
19031s | so much adversity to get here even to be |
19034s | in second place as much as they have |
19035s | been look to be the ones to make |
19038s | Timeless ethereal fumble at the last |
19040s | possible |
19042s | hurdle the flame has been sparked and |
19045s | wisp Embers are carrying that Spirit |
19047s | into this match if you just watched our |
19049s | losers finals you will know that they |
19051s | their confidence is starting to build |
19054s | and they are ready for this rematch to |
19057s | come on through map number one pick just |
19060s | came in Le Jang Tower is where we're |
19063s | kicking off our grand finals journey and |
19065s | what a Fitting Place to take it we're |
19067s | not going back to Antarctic peninsula |
19068s | where we're going to see just brawl all |
19070s | the time we still might because leang |
19072s | Tower still kind of does lend itself a |
19075s | little towards that brawl play style but |
19076s | we're not going to Samoa either way |
19078s | we're not going to see any of that |
19079s | silliness coming out we're not going to |
19080s | see any like MAA compositions or |
19082s | anything wacky like that we're going to |
19084s | be playing pure good honest OverWatch |
19087s | unless you're kunoichi which you know |
19089s | they they they don't play fair on they |
19091s | don't play fair on this mapup but |
19093s | everyone else does and I think it's a |
19095s | great test of both of these teams their |
19096s | skills their abilities it's also where |
19099s | these two teams started last time |
19101s | around and last time Timeless ethereal |
19104s | were very much in the driver seat of |
19107s | this map it did go to three if my memory |
19110s | does serve me correctly and it seriously |
19113s | it came down to a lot of the things we |
19115s | were talking about with hter on the desk |
19118s | we'll see whis B they like to heavily |
19120s | commit to these off angles they leave |
19122s | Kindred out in the open and that's where |
19124s | Timeless ethereal was able to win the |
19126s | Frontline battle and then shift their |
19128s | sights over to what was going on on the |
19130s | other side and it really was something |
19133s | that never got fixed throughout that |
19135s | play fundamentally they're on the same |
19138s | page these players there aren't too many |
19140s | differences that you can start to shout |
19142s | out it's Senna and X10 on the sojourns |
19145s | that have been lighting up The Kill feed |
19148s | and will be certainly the battle to |
19150s | watch and I don't want to put too too |
19152s | much pressure on Senna but I do kind of |
19154s | think that it's at least a little bit |
19156s | fitting that previously X10 was a part |
19158s | of the Embers roster but was snatched up |
19160s | by Timeless ethereal like I said earlier |
19162s | on in the night Timeless ethereal didn't |
19164s | have to grab X10 but they did it anyway |
19166s | because when you are Timeless ethereal |
19169s | when you've been so dominant all season |
19171s | long you do not take your foot off of |
19173s | the gas until you reach the Finish Line |
19175s | until you hoist that trophy so they went |
19177s | out and they got potentially the best |
19180s | hit scan player in all of calling all |
19182s | heroes and Senna is the one that nyxl or |
19185s | sorry that wisp Embers bring in to fill |
19187s | those shoes and she has done so she has |
19190s | absolutely shown herself to be a more |
19192s | than capable hit scan player capable of |
19194s | living up to the Legacy that X10 left |
19196s | behind and even capable of going |
19198s | toe-to-toe at times with X10 in the |
19200s | previous series it was X10 getting the |
19202s | better of senna but will it be the same |
19205s | story this time around on one side we |
19208s | have the Titans we have Timeless |
19210s | ethereal on the other side we have the |
19212s | hungry upand comers wisp Embers I it |
19216s | doesn't get any bigger than this this is |
19217s | what calling all heroes is all about I |
19220s | cannot wait to see it I really hope that |
19222s | this one goes the |
19224s | distance me as well I mean the last time |
19227s | around Timeless ethereal you had the |
19229s | three and you know we had the opport |
19232s | to hear from Senna in that interview and |
19235s | and she said it herself uh commenting on |
19237s | the The Duel between X10 on the soldier |
19240s | and said you know what I gave them too |
19242s | much respect I think that I can fight |
19245s | toe-to-toe with this player and I can be |
19247s | the one to help lead my team over to |
19249s | this Victory we saw it against Michael |
19252s | wave death was barely making an |
19254s | appearance in that map after just |
19256s | absolutely dominating throughout this |
19258s | tournament Senna was the one to shut |
19261s | that down and she is going to have x10's |
19263s | number throughout this first map of Le |
19266s | Jong Tower see where this one will end |
19269s | up taking us there been so much buildup |
19271s | to this exact moment CB both of these |
19274s | teams have been around since the |
19276s | beginning and now it's their time to |
19278s | show us how that story shall end yeah |
19281s | both of these teams here since the |
19283s | beginning and since the beginning |
19285s | Timeless ethereal has been forging a |
19287s | dynasty with win after win after win but |
19291s | but the only win that matters is the one |
19294s | that you get when the lights are on the |
19296s | brightest and we got a lot of lumens out |
19299s | here right now how bright are those |
19301s | lights and how bright does wisp ember's |
19303s | flame burn is it going to be too much is |
19306s | it going to be blinding for Timeless |
19308s | ethereal or did they bring the hater |
19310s | blockers did they bring the shades are |
19312s | they ready to firmly cement their legacy |
19315s | at the top of calling all heroes this is |
19317s | what it's all about we kick things off |
19320s | on Night Market on leang power Let's |
19324s | Go full mirror matchups into play |
19328s | objective oft about how are you going to |
19331s | control these outsid there these little |
19333s | Ledges of the high grid that we know X10 |
19335s | and Senna will be sniffing out |
19337s | momentarily we also need to keep an eye |
19339s | on these tanks Kindred struggled to have |
19342s | a presence in this team's previous |
19345s | Meetup because of how heavily ESS |
19348s | ethereal understood that with they look |
19350s | at Senna be that hero they were on the |
19352s | rotations and yet this time it's Senna |
19354s | wrapping around saw Hill low the first |
19356s | one to pop into that Nemesis form |
19358s | winning the game of chicken and sna with |
19360s | the duel onto X10 CB that confidence she |
19364s | is glowing with it and you can't expect |
19366s | it to stop any time soon that was poru |
19369s | with the soldier player opening the |
19371s | gates for Wisp Embers to get that first |
19373s | step on point and I'm really hoping wisp |
19375s | Embers take it all the way now cuz how |
19377s | fitting would it be just like I said for |
19378s | Senna taking X10 spot on this roster is |
19381s | X10 gets snatched up by Town ethereal to |
19383s | find the first blow onto X10 to catapult |
19386s | her team to Victory it's done enough to |
19388s | catapult them at least to the first |
19389s | point capture but Timeless ethereal are |
19391s | back at full strength and are swarming |
19393s | the point looking for a way to just push |
19395s | whsp Embers off the point damn near push |
19397s | them off the map entirely did Halo and |
19399s | she's looking for another one Halo she's |
19401s | going to get it oh that's H ke sent down |
19404s | Into the Depths and there's a second one |
19406s | onto anot oh it's Halo showing up the |
19410s | angel from from above and wisp Ember |
19413s | sent down below to we won't be seeing |
19415s | them anytime soon that's such a great |
19417s | play from Halo and she's so great at |
19419s | going on these really aggressive plays |
19421s | when she needs to but playing it safe |
19422s | being kind of that silent carry in the |
19425s | backline along with Z by the way who is |
19427s | also phenomenal and have you look have a |
19429s | look at both of these supports both of |
19431s | them already built up their ultimates I |
19433s | mean a lot of ultimates about to come up |
19435s | on the board where a third of the way |
19436s | through whs ember's capture and nobody's |
19438s | pulled the trigger on the que yet nobody |
19440s | wants to be the won to throw that first |
19442s | down the drain but Halo going to throw a |
19444s | couple bodies down the drain right now |
19446s | an un and sna gone again Halo must have |
19450s | saw po you back on Sur said no no no I'm |
19453s | not the only one that can pull this off |
19455s | Halo she is just insane on this map I |
19458s | mean how much more can you ask from a |
19461s | single player Li gone is that you is |
19463s | this your Tower it's Halo's Tower right |
19466s | now one key thing though that I want to |
19468s | highlight is that bun did invest the |
19470s | blizzard to try and facilitate that |
19472s | second Boop there so that's no longer |
19474s | going to be an option so poru might have |
19477s | a free beat |
19478s | here Oru is going to have it on up the |
19481s | ant matrixes for both sides as well only |
19484s | timeus etheral will actually be coming |
19486s | out onto the night market and we grab |
19488s | Bor there's not even a sound barrier as |
19490s | an option Timeless ethereal they know |
19492s | that they're up and they want to stagger |
19494s | this fight out as long as possible |
19496s | knowing that this will get them to about |
19498s | one fight territory when whisp Embers |
19501s | ready to return and like I said before |
19503s | both of these teams it feels like they |
19504s | don't want to invest a lot of these |
19506s | ultimates be the first one to throw one |
19507s | down the drain but I think that's made |
19509s | whis Embers a little bit too guny they |
19511s | they need to pull the trigger eventually |
19513s | they do on the ant Matrix but that's all |
19515s | they really choose to invest now they're |
19517s | going to use the blizzard we'll see if |
19518s | they're able to get anything out of it |
19520s | the Beats there beat there a lot of |
19523s | those early resources wh didn't get you |
19525s | his last fight now coming up now oh |
19527s | surely you would respect Halo thankfully |
19530s | everyone from tyus is is able to hang on |
19532s | with white knuckling to the objective |
19534s | and there's no time that is better to do |
19536s | so this is the 99% for Timeless ethereal |
19540s | will give it up backing off saw Hill was |
19542s | incredibly low now healed up push likely |
19544s | to start soon and now that whisper |
19546s | finally willing to put their money where |
19547s | their mouth is spend a little bit they |
19549s | actually get a little for their purchase |
19550s | now they're back in control of the point |
19552s | but ESS ethereal Butz coming up on a |
19554s | blizzard and with a big wall she's going |
19555s | to throw it |
19557s | downard is coming on up it doesn't get |
19559s | anybody in fact hred walks back into it |
19561s | why would you do that to yourself they |
19563s | will manage to stay on their feet they |
19565s | have to pop this Annihilation looking |
19567s | through the back line Frozen up between |
19569s | a wall that's five assists onto the kill |
19571s | of whis ember's tank time with Imperial |
19574s | they know that they had the resources |
19576s | and the numbers to flip this objective |
19578s | took the soft reset this is them winning |
19580s | that macro game and the first round of |
19583s | Night Market and of course you got to |
19585s | give so much of that to Halo because |
19587s | she's able to win off of just the boops |
19589s | off the map we saw the big plays that |
19590s | came came out early on and that helps |
19593s | Timeless ethereal build up to a big ult |
19595s | Advantage where they didn't really have |
19596s | to expend too much in order to get so |
19599s | much percentage essentially just handed |
19601s | them on a silver platter because of the |
19603s | plays from Halo I can't praise her |
19605s | enough for that but it has to stay |
19607s | consistent that's just one point we |
19609s | still got potentially two more to play |
19611s | and Timeless ethereal might even be |
19613s | making a couple of swaps here swapping |
19615s | at least for the attacker for now Z |
19617s | swapping over to the Kido maybe looking |
19620s | for a teens bit more survivability it's |
19622s | t bit more nimbleness if that's even a |
19624s | word I don't know if it is to be a |
19626s | little bit more Nimble can I actually |
19627s | know swap back over to the Baptist |
19629s | forget everything I ever said time is |
19631s | ethereal if it ain't broke don't fix it |
19633s | just keep going with what you're best |
19635s | at there there's no reason to change off |
19638s | anything in these compositions then |
19641s | except for Pap whisp Embers stay away |
19642s | from some Ledges Halo has in ey out look |
19645s | at it she's already looking for it oh |
19647s | Anyan please be careful on the outskirts |
19651s | that wh bers they've lost one and Halo |
19652s | is still hunting for the boobs a |
19655s | bloodthirsty support the angel has |
19658s | fallen from heaven and and she's trying |
19660s | to make as much happen for the team as |
19662s | possible Timeless only lost or excuse me |
19664s | they only got one elimination and it was |
19666s | enough for whisp Embers pump the brakes |
19668s | yeah they're not going to want to go |
19669s | aggressive when they're down a person |
19670s | like that especially when that person is |
19671s | HT cuz again the May is absolutely |
19674s | crucial in this in this composition |
19676s | especially going up against a May that |
19678s | that is as storied as bun with hkey |
19680s | constantly being what a lot of us |
19682s | perceive to be the second place when it |
19684s | comes to May how fitting being on this |
19685s | team if she's able to make up the |
19687s | deficit she can help you know get whs |
19689s | bembers the win here but you're |
19691s | definitely not going to go in without |
19693s | her to try and match up to bun Senna |
19694s | though finds the pick on to X10 taking |
19697s | out her counterpart again now Bun's in |
19699s | trouble bun is the ice wall though to |
19701s | bail herself out of Tang I mean tell |
19704s | they just get off the point in general |
19707s | so with me they're in control until kred |
19709s | finds herself fac to face with an ant |
19711s | Matrix and a wide of opening in face of |
19714s | death itself Timeless ethereal I need to |
19717s | get back in control of the point saw |
19720s | nearing an annihilation of their own |
19722s | won't be needing it this time around be |
19724s | able to save that for the future is Halo |
19726s | just grabs another Boop casually yeah |
19728s | but whis members seemingly match |
19730s | Timeless ethereals or at least nearly |
19731s | match Timeless ethereals capture |
19733s | percentage out of seemingly nowhere a |
19735s | fight they had no business taking and |
19736s | one that was very Scrappy throughout so |
19738s | I mean they've essentially bought |
19739s | themselves an extra fight here and they |
19741s | didn't use any ults to do it so they can |
19743s | maybe take two really good ult fights |
19745s | here that they're going to have the |
19746s | advantage for the one sticking point |
19748s | though is going to be buns blizzard and |
19750s | how many times throughout the course of |
19752s | calling all heroes have we said that |
19754s | exact sentence what's one more to a |
19756s | player like |
19758s | bun bun has a little presence waiting |
19761s | for whisp Embers if they dare to |
19763s | approach this objective they're waiting |
19765s | for Halo to herself out and no and sna |
19767s | again winning the duel against xon but |
19770s | learn anything it's not enough to |
19773s | guarantee the fight Victory Halo moving |
19775s | players back out of the back line |
19777s | attempting to disrupt a few here and |
19779s | there H blers didn't find much bun |
19782s | wanting to do the same and it catches |
19783s | hitrate within the annihilation we're |
19786s | actually install Hill that ends up |
19787s | falling x0 is already back in the battle |
19789s | and this is what we're talking about |
19791s | Timeless e theia's ultimate management |
19793s | has simply been better on so many |
19796s | different platforms and it takes heroic |
19797s | plays such as this one to turn it back |
19799s | around that's one from C taking a second |
19801s | straight down dunking on x10's head what |
19804s | a way to save dip as whsp Embers keep |
19807s | themselves afloat I told you she wants |
19809s | this she told you that she wants this |
19811s | and it looks so dicey it looked like Ty |
19813s | ethereal had an opportunity to buy |
19814s | themselves back into it but s just like |
19816s | she takes Halo's life takes it all away |
19819s | from them and WIS bembers are still in |
19821s | this but it's costly have a look at the |
19823s | old bang for times a theal they got the |
19825s | ant Matrix and x10's got the overclock |
19827s | that is an absolutely lethal combination |
19830s | even if they over overclock wasn't a |
19831s | factor just an ant Matrix rail shot with |
19833s | X10 behind it is a scary thought one |
19836s | that's going to keep Santa up at night |
19837s | if she's not able to hit the shot to |
19839s | stop it HQ is under a lot of pressure |
19842s | though H is actually ends up going down |
19845s | and X10 being on the other end with an |
19847s | ultimate that's an even more terrifying |
19849s | thing you're either turned into a punch |
19850s | bag by Salt Hill or you're going to be |
19852s | shredded broken in half because of an |
19855s | overclock in the backline time was |
19856s | ethereals map control has been |
19858s | ridiculous whisp emers have not been |
19860s | checking their angles nearly well enough |
19862s | to validate them winning this map out |
19865s | Halo is still on an absolute Terr dios |
19867s | ethereal seem to be on top of every form |
19870s | of macro play despite duels being one |
19872s | whis Ember seriously have to step it up |
19875s | if they want a chance of winning this |
19876s | map the blizzard only making their |
19878s | challenges a lot colder to push on |
19881s | through Senna returning to the battle |
19882s | grabs X10 once again it's a grudge match |
19885s | even if it's the one elimination it's |
19887s | enough for the point to continue being |
19889s | sustained Hal walking around the |
19892s | objective daring someone to peek their |
19893s | head out one final Boop to seal it off |
19897s | oh wh Embers are trying as hard as they |
19899s | can I mean they got the blizzard to push |
19900s | on in it grabs saw Hill there's no one |
19902s | on the other side the point can't be |
19904s | contested and as long as it is it is |
19907s | timeless who will come out on top of map |
19910s | number one but you can kind of feel how |
19913s | every single player on both teams is |
19915s | just going blow for blow with their |
19916s | counterparts but it feels like Halo is |
19919s | definitely getting the better of the |
19920s | Lucio head tohe and also kind of fitting |
19922s | that she's doing it at anun expense |
19925s | these two were at one point teammates on |
19927s | New York excelsia but Halo definitely |
19929s | showing her value and it feels like |
19932s | across the board you know Timeless |
19934s | ethereal are still just one step ahead |
19936s | safe for Senna who is getting the better |
19938s | of X10 but is that going to consistently |
19941s | be enough to buy wisp Embers back into |
19943s | some of these fights in some cases yes |
19945s | but when you start looking at the macro |
19947s | you start looking at the ult management |
19948s | you start looking at the positioning |
19950s | suddenly it's not quite so cut and dry |
19952s | it becomes a situation where sure Senna |
19955s | can pop off but bun just has the |
19956s | blizzard and can deny Kindred from |
19958s | taking any sort of presence on the point |
19961s | we go to an overtime scenario where |
19963s | Senna can't stay on the wide angle where |
19965s | she needs to be if she wants to pop off |
19967s | she has to go in to try and you know |
19969s | make the contest and she catches a swift |
19971s | uppercut from Saw Hill on the way in and |
19973s | like that's that's what it's all about |
19975s | right it's all about setting your DPS up |
19977s | for Success it's something that Timeless |
19979s | ethereal are great whs members are also |
19982s | great at but you're still just one step |
19987s | behind whisp Embers they're they're just |
19990s | looking like amateurs because Timeless |
19992s | ethereal right now their macro gameplay |
19994s | their sense of synergy and how to |
19996s | operate as a team has been far and above |
19999s | what we've seen from wisp Embers there's |
20001s | only so much you can rely on from |
20003s | Individual pop offs from Senna I mean |
20005s | the stats tell the story completely in |
20007s | this 10 final blows from s and 12 for |
20010s | the entire ire team that's more than |
20011s | three of their team members combined and |
20014s | even that is nothing in comparison to |
20016s | what we see within the other side Senna |
20019s | may win be getting her one but the rest |
20021s | of the squad isn't able to pull it |
20024s | together within the chaos that time |
20025s | ethereal already caused and a lot of |
20027s | that is due to the map control there's a |
20030s | there's a couple other big takeaways |
20031s | that I take away from that scoreboard |
20033s | the first of which is the gap between |
20035s | bun and HQ right now bun is playing on |
20038s | another level and we hyped HQ up in the |
20040s | previous series but again all calling |
20043s | all heroes long it's felt like bun has |
20045s | been the premier May player in the |
20048s | entire circuit only dying once and again |
20051s | when your May is so crucial to the |
20053s | composition if you can keep her alive |
20055s | that long you're golden baby you're in |
20057s | the money meanwhile NYX or I keep I keep |
20060s | doing that with members there's players |
20062s | from nyxl in this game and you know they |
20065s | were previously known as that they're no |
20066s | longer affiliate it's WIS Embers I got |
20068s | to give I got to give props to the right |
20070s | team |
20071s | whisp Embers I like I lost the plot I've |
20073s | lost my Bo completely you know what hey |
20076s | CV it happens we got to make sure we |
20078s | talk about the players correctly that's |
20080s | fine whis bembers they're they're |
20082s | working on it right it's hard to |
20084s | remember them because in their in their |
20085s | Glory Days when we saw them at their |
20087s | Peak they were known by a different name |
20089s | they've had those roster changes come in |
20091s | Senna and poru being two of those and W |
20094s | these are definitely not the players |
20095s | that we're seeing struggle in a lot of |
20098s | ways they're also you're trying to integ |
20100s | them into the roster how that really |
20102s | operates it's gotten them to the Grand |
20104s | finals whereas Timeless ethereal on the |
20106s | other hand have seen very few changes in |
20109s | comparison especially as of recent so |
20112s | when we're lating to look ahead into |
20113s | this series Timeless ethereal just look |
20115s | like the better vers team when it comes |
20117s | to this ratra composition in terms of |
20119s | the value especially that bun is getting |
20123s | picking Midtown right now especially if |
20125s | you're whisp they don't want to go to |
20126s | Kings ow they want to make things |
20128s | slightly more uncomfortable and give |
20130s | give more opportunities for the sojs to |
20132s | shine and we've seen a lot of teams |
20134s | trying to go for these big flank plays |
20136s | with the soj especially on Midtown but |
20138s | trying to get her through that first |
20139s | choke point is always a bit of a |
20141s | sticking point on the attack and it's |
20143s | something that I think both of these |
20144s | teams are going to be aware of something |
20146s | they're both going to be privy to |
20147s | something they're both going to try |
20148s | their best to shut down composition wise |
20151s | I don't expect that or the play style to |
20153s | be shaken up too too much we do know |
20157s | that Timeless ethereal said that they |
20158s | still had some uh some more tricks in |
20160s | their back pocket earlier but I don't |
20162s | think they're being forced to bust any |
20164s | of those out just yet if there is a team |
20166s | that can maybe force that kind of |
20168s | adjustment I believe it would have to be |
20170s | wisp Embers but we still haven't quite |
20172s | seen it Senna is doing her best to |
20175s | deadlift this team but it's just not |
20177s | enough you know everybody else is still |
20180s | doing the most still doing just about |
20181s | all they can but they need to do just a |
20183s | little bit more especially you know |
20187s | trying like Po you has been phenomenal |
20189s | no doubt going to take nothing away from |
20190s | her but compared to Halo in that last |
20192s | matchup that's a gap that definitely |
20194s | needs to be shored up as does the hkey |
20197s | and |
20198s | Bundi there's these smaller things that |
20201s | it's not the problems that we exactly |
20202s | expected to go out to before it was exit |
20205s | in CA now that's changed it's hkey |
20208s | versus bun poru versus Halo and it just |
20212s | comes down to the smalls Min school |
20214s | things of how are you setting up your |
20216s | individuals can Kindred take the space |
20218s | that is required with how much of the |
20221s | team is actually supporting her it'll be |
20223s | a little bit easier to maintain that |
20225s | being in a defensive spot you have the |
20227s | options to move around and rotate as |
20230s | needed those calls whis Embers we know |
20231s | that they're able to make and they need |
20233s | to just make sure they have a lock where |
20236s | is X10 where is Halo how are they moving |
20240s | around this objective well on the |
20242s | defense first will'll be wisp Embers so |
20244s | my question is where is Senna going to |
20245s | be playing I don't think she's going to |
20247s | stay in this choke like that for too too |
20249s | long nor is H going to be there nor is |
20251s | Kindra where are all of you playing get |
20253s | back in get back in the choke stop being |
20255s | silly all right this is the grand finals |
20256s | this is no time to get too silly with it |
20259s | all right everybody calm down where is |
20261s | Sena going to be playing on the defense |
20263s | is she going to set up in the laat or is |
20265s | she going to set up very far behind no |
20266s | wait this defense is sticking they are |
20268s | playing close oh c you thought they were |
20271s | crazy they they might be a little bit |
20273s | crazy than Kindred that's your M cool |
20275s | down out sill and walk on to the rest of |
20277s | your team you're giving up space and now |
20279s | you don't have the cool Downs to |
20280s | maintain it now you have to hope can th |
20282s | FAL will they overextend they punish |
20284s | somebody and it doesn't really seem like |
20286s | it Sena now has to find a new position |
20289s | to prop herself up and she lost that |
20291s | before and doesn't have the best angles |
20293s | to work off of holding on to this charge |
20295s | shot for quite some time daring a |
20297s | squishy to peek their head around the |
20299s | corner with this is the fight where we |
20301s | expected them to take it and luckily |
20303s | they also have their lives until I spoke |
20306s | too soon anun the first victim to go |
20309s | down and Whisper Embers losing their |
20311s | foundations it's saw Hill everyone looks |
20313s | like a punching bag when you got the |
20315s | good old fist out and will'll be |
20317s | cleaning the house here first point of |
20319s | Midtown heavily going for time theal I I |
20322s | I got to be real I don't like that |
20324s | defense at all from whisp Embers I mean |
20326s | I saw the vision I mean it was just |
20328s | trying to catch them off guard and as |
20330s | they kind of back up through the choke |
20331s | to try and bait ESS ethereal into a |
20333s | pinch where whs Embers would have the |
20335s | advantage but you don't have the benefit |
20337s | of setting your soen up on a high ground |
20339s | or on an off angle and it kind of just |
20340s | becomes this neutral doy do around that |
20343s | fire truck and you know Timeless |
20344s | ethereal all they have to do is wait |
20346s | until they have an opening and they |
20347s | seese it they take down anun and that's |
20350s | all they really need 5 minutes to start |
20352s | working through Street phace wh bembers |
20353s | going super aggressive to slow it |
20356s | down Embers that's them pushing the |
20358s | blizzard on out well grabs a couple of |
20361s | players look once again buns get |
20363s | significantly more value doesn't get |
20366s | some the space though I mean s out |
20367s | winning that duel on to X and H keep |
20369s | following it up with one of their own |
20372s | this Embers have a stop here on this |
20374s | first point for now Zill still decides |
20377s | to pull out the annihilation and |
20378s | response to kindreds those tendrils will |
20381s | be expiring momentarily and this has |
20383s | been very expensive for whis emper so |
20385s | far and and they're spending all of this |
20387s | just to keep up aggression and take as |
20389s | many fights as they possibly can as |
20390s | close to the cart as they possibly can |
20392s | and they're not leveraging High Ground |
20394s | they're not setting Senna up on a whole |
20396s | lot of off angles right now and that is |
20398s | once again punishable especially with an |
20400s | a matrix coming out look wh members they |
20402s | just have to hold S and H is completely |
20404s | on her own down on the low ground Center |
20407s | has to pop off right now hitting the |
20409s | shot but she just can't find the angle |
20410s | and now she's stuck in the middle of the |
20412s | frea Hill not able to stay on their feet |
20415s | T Sounder came in a hair too late whsp |
20418s | Embers are nearly holding on to this |
20420s | objective it has to be stressful to do |
20422s | the chase is there for you skating on |
20425s | out but no you will not be seeing the |
20427s | light of day again here on this first or |
20430s | second objective excuse me time atherial |
20432s | that's all the reasoning that they |
20433s | needed whis Embers spit off way more |
20435s | than they could chew it feels to me like |
20437s | WIS Embers are trying to reinvent the |
20438s | wheel but the wheels are falling off |
20440s | like again we've seen how good Senna can |
20442s | be even with these overclocks but she's |
20444s | not set up for success with them she's |
20446s | on The High Ground when she pops it yeah |
20447s | absolutely but Timeless ethereal aren't |
20449s | really in all that much of a kill box so |
20451s | she doesn't get a whole lot of value for |
20453s | it Timeless ethereal can just kind of |
20455s | kite it out and they don't have to like |
20458s | there's nothing whis members can do to |
20459s | try retake that space times ethereal |
20461s | don't even have to play safe and now |
20463s | they have The High Ground X10 can set up |
20465s | a kill box look for even just a neutral |
20467s | rail shot it might have po you's name on |
20469s | it if she's not |
20471s | careful X ended up eating a rail shot |
20474s | from Cent May W that making that same |
20478s | approach again but I me this High ground |
20481s | with xn sitting on it is a deadly thing |
20484s | X10 has to realize that players are |
20486s | going to start rolling on up through the |
20489s | heights almost a theal not exactly |
20490s | pushing the payload right now it's more |
20492s | or less waiting for X10 or one to find |
20495s | some sort of elimination you got the |
20496s | coming on out of the blizzard what in |
20498s | the world is that with emers that had to |
20501s | have been a mistake from hkey it gets |
20503s | completely negated on the low ground |
20505s | with no one was sitting and now you lose |
20507s | H's life on top of it just because you |
20509s | needed something worse to happen |
20510s | Timeless ethereal found their |
20512s | opportunity to strike and this is going |
20514s | to be the second objective going over to |
20516s | them with the team kill at the start of |
20518s | that fight kred was so split she was |
20519s | over on the other side of the point from |
20521s | where everyone else is so when the amp |
20522s | Matrix comes out pointed at the rest of |
20524s | her team they all just have to beat for |
20526s | the you know look for any kind of cover |
20528s | cuz she's not there to put up a shield |
20529s | for it and you know it disaster narily |
20532s | avoided yeah cuz everyone lives to tell |
20533s | the tale but then they just walk into |
20535s | something even worse once they all |
20537s | collect themselves and try to wrestle |
20538s | that High Ground back away from Timeless |
20540s | ethereal again wisp Ember is trying to |
20542s | reinvent the wheel and it's ju it's just |
20544s | not working out they have to just try |
20546s | and play this a little bit more safe a |
20548s | little bit more controlled a little bit |
20549s | like what we've seen them play in the |
20551s | past this ends now and obviously C they |
20554s | wanted to change the narrow like Hey |
20556s | we're not afraid but they're almost too |
20558s | unafraid of taking these fights at |
20560s | sometimes so you need to find some sort |
20562s | of Middle Ground here because what we've |
20563s | seen so far hasn't been the answer and |
20566s | ultimate getting zero value |
20569s | X10 hang taking some of these shots on |
20572s | in the sound barrier is going on through |
20574s | X not finding the damage it is sill that |
20577s | will do so ra got through the end of |
20580s | poor you's head ESS ethereal pushing all |
20583s | the way up into the spawns right now I |
20585s | mean this is absolutely brutal with |
20586s | Embers they're starting to be afraid of |
20588s | taking the space on back and now they're |
20590s | going to have to do it through their |
20592s | spawns as a payload is so close to |
20593s | getting this Mark and when you're as |
20595s | hungry as wisp Embers sometimes you're |
20597s | taking bites out of things that just |
20598s | don't taste too good ESS ethereal making |
20600s | them taste the bottom of their boot |
20602s | right now as they continue the pressure |
20604s | on the amp Matrix from Z and WIS Embers |
20607s | they have to kite it but that gives so |
20608s | much space for the Kindred has to go out |
20610s | to contest sill does get dispatched |
20612s | though they needed that so badly wh |
20615s | hambers do not get that elimination this |
20617s | payload was going to roll on through and |
20619s | the only thing is they got to recover in |
20621s | terms of the ultimate economy blizzards |
20623s | will be on Pace CB but this bleeding has |
20625s | to stop and and what's been happening |
20627s | time and time again is like whs Embers |
20630s | will use an ultimate and Timeless |
20631s | ethereal will just kind of kite it |
20632s | because they know they don't have to |
20633s | fight into it whs members they no longer |
20636s | realistically have the space to do the |
20638s | same thing because of where the cart is |
20640s | they have to leverage their ults right |
20642s | now coming up with a blizzard to match |
20643s | buns and the spawn advantage to try and |
20645s | bleed this time Bank |
20648s | Dry you have to be planning these fights |
20651s | out very very carefully in terms of |
20654s | where are you position but ultimates are |
20655s | you going to use and why is bun pushing |
20657s | into your back line cuts off the May ice |
20660s | block is out this is the opportunity for |
20662s | HP to strike a big error that can be |
20664s | capitalized on the immortality field |
20666s | won't be helping you this time around |
20667s | the P though has to be contested keeping |
20669s | a close eye onto that one now it's the |
20671s | overclock from both teams X10 will get |
20674s | the better of senna in this exact moment |
20677s | but is it enough to actually turn the |
20678s | fight around very well maybe the rest of |
20680s | the team has started to regroup Timeless |
20682s | ethereal have the strong presence on the |
20684s | objective you need to close it out |
20686s | before poru gets back with that sound |
20687s | barrier Anan at Mak for oh that's not |
20690s | going to do a whole lot of anything |
20692s | sustain there from poru is H the knock |
20694s | to push them through Senna gets that |
20695s | Revenge kill X10 has fallen and now much |
20699s | more has to be committed it's getting |
20700s | sloppy and sna is putting an end to all |
20703s | of the chaos all on her own sitting in |
20706s | the back finding the shots charging them |
20708s | up off the tank which Sal Hill is |
20710s | struggling just hang on to this extra |
20712s | Health 30 seconds now on the clock for |
20714s | Timeless and this is not the fight |
20716s | they're going to win a full reset has to |
20718s | be scrambled for to make it possible an |
20721s | that's a 3K for anun to clean it up and |
20723s | that is that's so great from her and it |
20725s | was so great from Senna to get some of |
20727s | those early pickoffs that ended up |
20729s | winning that fight outright for whisp |
20730s | Embers Timeless ethereal now swapping |
20732s | over to fast Heroes they might be able |
20734s | to get another touch here it's going to |
20735s | be up to bun now on the Tracer looking |
20737s | for a flank but whis Embers have scouted |
20739s | it they put a wall right up in her face |
20740s | so it's saw Hill with the slam overtime |
20742s | Wick does start burning it does trigger |
20744s | but how do Timeless ethereal bring this |
20746s | home there isn't a realistic option the |
20748s | only thing you have this sound barrier |
20750s | from Halo and you're going to need that |
20751s | sooner rather than later given the |
20753s | current Annihilation occupying the |
20756s | objective you've now lost bun a |
20758s | devastating blow to Timeless ethereal |
20760s | chances of winning this fight set yet to |
20763s | be contested she finds a second one and |
20764s | now behind and at Matrix with an over |
20767s | clark she is simply |
20771s | Unstoppable and the cart will stop just |
20774s | shy of making it to Grand Central |
20776s | Station Timeless ethereals ticket to the |
20779s | big time might have just been revoked |
20782s | whis members they put themselves in a |
20783s | successful position where they can get |
20785s | the win here they're not going to have |
20786s | to go to Extra Innings to do it and it |
20788s | looked so rough for the first two3 of |
20790s | this map but once we finally got to the |
20792s | point where they could sit back and be a |
20794s | little bit more comfortable not have to |
20796s | worry about these crazy flank plays not |
20798s | have to worry about trying to go for |
20800s | these weird splits these weird close |
20802s | plays like spawn holds or whatever it |
20804s | was they were trying to cook once they |
20806s | just played the game and played to their |
20808s | strengths they're finding so much |
20810s | success you know they're finding an unit |
20812s | in positions to pop off they're finding |
20813s | Senna having the angles to hit some of |
20815s | these big rail shots and despite the |
20818s | nonstop pressure that Timeless ethereal |
20821s | is exerting here wisp Embers are able to |
20823s | withstand they bend a lot but they do |
20825s | not break and I also want to highlight |
20828s | the maze because a lot of that came |
20830s | triggered by one little fight there |
20832s | where bun invests the blizzard H key |
20835s | survives through it then pops one of her |
20837s | own and punished sorry punnished bun for |
20840s | trying to be the first to pull the |
20841s | trigger there and it all just kind of |
20842s | turns right back on its head and |
20844s | suddenly whs Embers are in the driver |
20846s | seat if they keep this momentum up we |
20848s | might not be seeing any more three |
20851s | OverWatch tonight no more three |
20853s | OverWatch please wisp Embers have set |
20857s | their Mark don't need to get the payload |
20859s | all the way the bar still relatively |
20862s | high and bun ever the more deadly when |
20865s | it comes to this map H getting the |
20867s | better of her towards the tail end |
20869s | perhaps can start to turn those tables |
20872s | into West ember's favor need to get |
20875s | themselves forward and find a Surefire |
20876s | way of doing it ideally we're going to |
20878s | see Santa r with poru onto this |
20881s | objective is the bre going to be there |
20883s | yes bun is sitting and waiting manag to |
20885s | squeak over the wall poru just barely |
20888s | now the attention is split and saw Hill |
20890s | is rather off on their own kred doesn't |
20892s | exactly have the backup to take it on |
20894s | the two fights that are happening |
20895s | simultaneously one already with a |
20897s | significant dent in it and that is poru |
20900s | going down whsp emers have to pull out a |
20903s | reset it's such a good shot from X10 to |
20905s | put that all to bed but it's also a |
20907s | great play from Z hang on X10 getting |
20910s | caught out there H key might have just |
20912s | found the key to break this door right |
20914s | on down whis Embers they're charging |
20916s | through they've taken the fire truck |
20917s | they're starting to Circle it but s has |
20920s | fallen Z continues to be a thorn in wh |
20924s | ember's side whereever Timeless Imperial |
20927s | them to show up Z will find a way to |
20929s | manage it and you just they just don't |
20931s | push without sen I mean with her pick |
20933s | potential gone and you wait for the ant |
20935s | make jks to come up stick your soldier |
20937s | behind it and hopefully you can find |
20939s | some amount of value I I again again |
20942s | want to highlight Z because in that |
20944s | fight where sen was rotating around the |
20945s | alley Z had the perfect triage to be |
20947s | able to look back and forth between the |
20949s | flank that was trying to deal with Senna |
20951s | and keeping sill alive sill was in a lot |
20953s | of danger there as whis members really |
20955s | put the pressure onto them but they |
20956s | weren't able to confirm the kill that's |
20958s | all thanks to Z on the Baptist who's |
20960s | been untouched so far wow I mean z is |
20963s | just this incredible player that knows |
20965s | exactly where they need to be at all |
20966s | times there may be X10 in the kill feed |
20968s | but who's keeping them alive who's |
20970s | supporting these push and is a z and |
20972s | grabbing the eliminations off the back |
20975s | uh it it just the extra sprinkles you |
20977s | know you don't need them but they're |
20978s | extra fun to have when you can get them |
20980s | I I mean maybe a little too much |
20982s | sprinkles being put on that cuz that's |
20983s | three SS for that fight and we still got |
20985s | two more minutes to go whis bembers |
20987s | they're going to have two big ones the |
20988s | DPS ultimates X10 versus Senna is going |
20991s | to be the major match up here and the |
20992s | different smer is going to be whether or |
20994s | not Halo is able to get her sound |
20996s | barrier off in time to negate the damage |
20998s | that's going to come through from Senna |
21000s | or H ke's blizzard she can only choose |
21003s | one if WIS members play this correctly I |
21005s | mean the question is are they going to |
21006s | be given a chance to and through all of |
21008s | it are they going to be able to knock Z |
21011s | off of their perch back there on top of |
21012s | the |
21013s | truck Z remains |
21017s | Untouchable forc them out the wall |
21019s | doesn't do much right quickly on the |
21023s | overclock it gets P just before it goes |
21025s | out too late Halo had the timing down or |
21027s | at least she thought it has to be a rush |
21029s | on in but no they're the ones that are |
21031s | trapped on Up season moral field keep |
21033s | Salt Hill on their feet and X1 is there |
21036s | to save the day on the overclock C and |
21039s | X10 my goodness that is a fight that |
21041s | wish members had laid out for them with |
21043s | a red carpet yet they still couldn't |
21045s | pull it out and it's because of that |
21047s | immortality field from Z and again the |
21049s | triage understanding that they needed to |
21051s | keep sa Hill alive to keep this defense |
21053s | in play and it was through the blizzard |
21055s | that HQ thought if she used and she |
21057s | killed Sill she would have the golden |
21060s | ticket this point would have been capped |
21061s | but now it's looking like it might not |
21064s | be kindred has the annihilation The |
21065s | Brute Force with a choke but you're |
21066s | going to need more than that someone has |
21069s | to come with a big play here to take it |
21070s | home otherwise wh members are going to |
21072s | get full held here on |
21074s | Midtown Embers are in big trouble right |
21078s | now time ethereal they have the |
21079s | amplification Matrix up but bun going |
21081s | down there the opportunity wh Embers |
21083s | needed with very little time they need |
21086s | to get themselves on the objective get |
21087s | the percentage on the upwards Trend you |
21090s | have no more ultimates to deal with Anon |
21092s | ends up going down X10 so the fire truck |
21094s | and flank is left uncontested there's |
21096s | only so many players on the point whis |
21098s | Embers did not divide their resources |
21101s | head and X10 seals the deal time was a |
21104s | theal are on Championship point and |
21107s | they're so composed every single time |
21110s | every fight it feels like wisp Embers |
21113s | have a way in they picked off bun two |
21115s | like first two fights in a row but |
21117s | because of Z and their ability to |
21119s | withstand as well as every other member |
21122s | of Timeless ethereal namely X10 being |
21124s | able to find the kickoffs that they need |
21126s | to relieve some of the pressure give |
21128s | Timeless ethereal that extra moment to |
21130s | breathe they take a deep a deep breath |
21133s | they Huff they puff they blow whsp |
21134s | ember's house in completely and they're |
21137s | already on Match |
21140s | Point it's crazy to have to say that I |
21142s | mean wisp Embers they they looked like |
21144s | they had a chance right and after we saw |
21146s | that stop on Midtown you're like surely |
21149s | they can pull it together we're no |
21150s | longer trying to reinvent the wheel we |
21152s | are using them as they were intended |
21154s | awesome but you get stocked up at that |
21156s | first choke and it comes down to where |
21159s | is z absolutely Untouchable you look at |
21162s | the Baptist who's looking at X10 nobody |
21164s | and then there's bun splitting them all |
21166s | in half and wisp Embers were just |
21168s | hitting wall after wall until eventually |
21170s | they're just banging their heads and |
21171s | with they got dizzy and couldn't |
21173s | remember what was even happening and |
21175s | they're finding themselves down on this |
21177s | match point they've looked good at times |
21179s | but it's nowhere near consistent enough |
21181s | to rightfully say Timeless ethereal are |
21184s | going to lose it's it feels again like |
21187s | West bembers at least early on were |
21188s | Reinventing the wheel then they just let |
21190s | the wheel be the wheel but then Z |
21192s | slashed their tires so they couldn't |
21194s | actually really go anywhere and like X10 |
21196s | came over and just put a boot right on |
21198s | it like just left them like look at the |
21201s | final blows there for X10 24 and 10 |
21203s | Senna is keeping up and that's still the |
21205s | story that we've seen between these two |
21207s | so but it's everybody else on the side |
21211s | of Timeless ethereal that's really |
21213s | making the difference |
21214s | here you you can't understand that look |
21217s | at z z two times yeah two deaths for Z |
21220s | two deaths that's again a lot of the |
21223s | ways that you want to play this is you |
21225s | want to try and look for an |
21226s | assassination on an enemy backliner and |
21228s | we can see that you know tied a |
21230s | three-way tie for most deaths on the |
21231s | side of Wis bembers but anun is one of |
21234s | those three so she is being targeted and |
21237s | you know whether members is targeting Z |
21240s | or not they're not successfully you know |
21242s | dealing with this silent |
21244s | carry who who realistically who is |
21247s | getting Anan it is x0 who came back and |
21250s | showed up on that map Le young Tower I |
21253s | think it hurt their pride a little bit |
21254s | because this is the x0 that we're used |
21256s | to seeing out of out of them and |
21258s | Timeless ethereal they're they're |
21259s | leaning into that resource to pull them |
21262s | on through now on Championship Point CB |
21265s | it's going to take one more map and that |
21268s | title could very well be theirs we have |
21270s | so much more to unpack as the series |
21272s | continues to go on and we're going to |
21274s | get back to the action in just a couple |
21276s | of |
21283s | [Music] |
21297s | minutes |
21302s | [Music] |
21322s | [Music] |
21377s | [Music] |
21414s | [Music] |
21447s | w |
21449s | [Music] |
21462s | [Applause] |
21465s | Timeless ethereal as they have been all |
21469s | all calling all heroes long really are |
21471s | on the precipice of glory and on finally |
21474s | claiming that Championship that rules |
21477s | over all the ones that they already have |
21479s | in their trophy case the Timeless trophy |
21481s | case is looking more gilded than King |
21482s | tutt's tomb right about now but one last |
21485s | trophy may not elude them as they're |
21487s | already on Match Point against wisp |
21490s | Embers who are hungry but maybe biting |
21492s | off more than they can |
21493s | chew we've seen it from them before wisp |
21497s | Embers hungry as they may be they're |
21500s | getting too aggressive your ultimates |
21502s | you're overspending and it comes down to |
21505s | the overall macroeconomy that you're |
21507s | dealing R right now and we we've talked |
21509s | about it throughout the series we may be |
21511s | overstating ourselves but it's the same |
21513s | issues every single time and when we got |
21516s | to look back on Midtown they may have |
21518s | gotten last second stop but at what cost |
21521s | how good did some of your players have |
21522s | to perform in order for that to actually |
21525s | happen where it's just a normal day in |
21527s | the park for Timeless ethereal and I |
21529s | think that's kind of the big difference |
21531s | that we're seeing one team is working |
21533s | together as a five unit have a clear |
21535s | idea of where all their fights are going |
21537s | to go as they get longer on whereas wisp |
21540s | Embers are really being played into |
21542s | themselves trying too many things and |
21545s | then losing out because of it you and |
21547s | you talk about these teams playing as a |
21548s | fiveman unit there is an absolute unit |
21551s | in Timeless ethereals backline and that |
21553s | is z and uh hter and I were talking a |
21555s | little bit in the break I don't know how |
21557s | much of it you heard but we were talking |
21558s | about how difficult Baptist actually is |
21561s | as a flex support because you really |
21563s | have to be an all-arounder you have to |
21565s | be good at every single skill set you |
21567s | think of like an Anna you can kind of |
21568s | sit back play safe look for |
21570s | opportunities to do little bits of |
21572s | damage but you don't have to be |
21574s | consistently putting out damage being |
21575s | close enough to get value out of the |
21577s | regen burst getting the big windows and |
21579s | still keeping everybody alive with those |
21582s | healing grenades like you do on Baptist |
21584s | and Z is playing it to absolute |
21586s | perfection which begs the question why |
21588s | are they hovering over life Weaver right |
21590s | now I there's a little more than life |
21593s | Weaver going on he wants to do some |
21595s | trolling that's okay we got the junk |
21598s | thear I mean that's not going to stick |
21600s | we very well know that but I do want to |
21603s | turn our attention to the other side of |
21606s | things whsp Embers on their last life |
21610s | here H key on the Genji Kindred over to |
21613s | the JQ this is jok this is where they |
21616s | feel comfortable Timeless ethereals even |
21618s | making a swap themselves how are they |
21621s | going to manage I could honestly see |
21623s | sill scouting this out maybe taking one |
21625s | fight and swapping over to the ratra I'm |
21627s | not quite sure but with bun taking out |
21629s | Senna yeah no swaps required I mean |
21631s | maybe Senna is going to want to maybe |
21634s | senna's going to want to swap just to |
21635s | something out of anger she's been lights |
21637s | out on the so but like maybe just go |
21639s | something that can that can grief bun |
21642s | please oh honestly I mean bun is by far |
21646s | one of the most consistent players that |
21647s | we'll see out of Timeless ethereal the |
21649s | best May player we have in the entire |
21652s | event and be the first cap going over |
21655s | just off of a single icicle and you'll |
21657s | see the difference even in the old |
21658s | charges o members have been able to do |
21660s | literally nothing that entire first |
21663s | fight nice part is now you can start |
21665s | that re-engage H ke starts to clear |
21667s | those players specifically ex and and Z |
21669s | off of the pillars we see kind of |
21671s | surrounding this objective but Sol Hill |
21673s | securing Kindred into the wall I mean |
21676s | this is it Timeless got to they know |
21678s | what they're doing it's whis bers that |
21680s | need to re-evaluate their game plan and |
21682s | and with sill being on this Arisa if |
21684s | you're not playing Sena on like a flank |
21687s | angle then Sill can just go in super |
21689s | aggressive just like they do clean up |
21690s | three there including the the javelin |
21693s | straight to the heart of Kindred but you |
21695s | can go in and really pressure this |
21697s | sojourn back not give her any room to |
21699s | breathe and Senna really needs to |
21701s | breathe because she's been the lifeblood |
21703s | of this team thus far look at the old |
21705s | charge again nobody else on wisp Embers |
21707s | has gotten a damn thing done and this |
21709s | point is nearly completely capped |
21712s | through now they have one more chance to |
21714s | change that bait and not resources deal |
21718s | with it he already has an amplification |
21719s | Matrix online here and we'll likely see |
21722s | that coming out in just a moment giving |
21725s | saw Hill and extensive extra support |
21727s | when it comes to that damage G instantly |
21729s | taken down below half HP be cautious |
21732s | about a further attack the terror just |
21735s | another thing in their way HP losing the |
21737s | duel against z i you cannot ask for more |
21741s | from this back tee player all around |
21743s | Timeless ethereal are putting themselves |
21745s | steps and miles above whsp Embers and |
21749s | this composition has just not been it |
21752s | and and that's H key on one of her |
21753s | signature Heroes on the Genji taking a |
21755s | duel with a backliner a Baptist |
21757s | something that the Genji like nine times |
21759s | out of 10 should be favored on but Z |
21761s | wins The Duel the Baptist lives another |
21764s | day and wisp Embers they just can't |
21766s | quite Force Timeless ethereal to crumble |
21768s | the way that they need to if they want |
21770s | to try and find any value that's a great |
21772s | that's a great way to make sure that |
21773s | your flanks are a little bit more secure |
21775s | you take down X10 great play from HT |
21777s | going to get hers back from the lost to |
21779s | Z got to imagine she's going to be |
21781s | looking for a round |
21783s | two and now l bers are in a much more |
21786s | favorable position to take a battle |
21789s | that's for about to be five check marks |
21791s | on their side please do not lose all of |
21793s | them this Embers use the ones that you |
21795s | need to do so likely this could soon a |
21797s | rush I spoke too soon rip and un X10 is |
21800s | on the battlefield now it's ht's turn |
21803s | trying to even this one up it's both |
21804s | damage ultimate and sound beer out with |
21807s | Embers this has been an expensive one |
21809s | and one that they really need to win |
21811s | they want the chance to go on through |
21813s | the point is in their control for the |
21815s | time being and it's HP taking a 2V1 go |
21817s | straight through the disruptor shot yeah |
21819s | you're not winning those today that's a |
21821s | real difficult position to have to be in |
21823s | if you're hqy but they were able to kill |
21825s | saw Hill so there is a slight opening |
21827s | maybe hqy wants to go something a little |
21829s | bit quicker no poru is actually just |
21830s | going to be there to try and taxi her |
21832s | fast so dless ethereal aren't going to |
21834s | be properly set up for this next fight |
21836s | whs bembers can go in with kindri |
21838s | Rampage and hopefully try and find some |
21840s | purchase but the question is what are we |
21842s | going to do about buns blizzard cuz B |
21844s | you had to use that sound barrier in the |
21845s | last |
21848s | fight bembers have that opportunity push |
21851s | up Rush say oh the wall it comes through |
21856s | the reaction time from SP this is why |
21857s | she's the best M player we have in this |
21860s | map and Halo I'm guessing that was a |
21862s | double Boop onto at least one player and |
21864s | a third up into the kill feed I mean my |
21867s | goodness whsp Embers are just crumbling |
21870s | their flame is stuttering it's barely |
21872s | staying a light CB hello I'm Halo back |
21875s | at it again she is so good and like what |
21879s | do you even say what do you even say |
21880s | about a play like that a Lucio fragging |
21882s | out a backline that's feeling themselves |
21884s | bun just putting some more salt in the |
21886s | room with theard Halo's not done goes to |
21889s | the spawn just to kill anun doesn't even |
21891s | care Timeless ethereal go up 20 and wisp |
21894s | Embers I their lunch their lunch is just |
21896s | all over the floor all right ESS |
21898s | ethereal took their lunch money slapped |
21900s | their chocolate milk off the tray it's |
21902s | all over the floor whis members are |
21903s | slipping and sliding all over it they |
21905s | need to get their feet underneath them |
21907s | and they only Havoc ATS rush to |
21909s | realistically do it you might be looking |
21911s | at hqy to build up to a dragon blade and |
21913s | make some noise with that but look at |
21915s | the ult on time with hero they have |
21917s | everything they could ever want to shut |
21919s | down an angry cyboard Genji poru out of |
21922s | position was there with Senna and she's |
21924s | not going to get out alive the luo had |
21926s | to ditch her in an effort to get back to |
21928s | the team which while that's going to |
21929s | happen you're still going to be greeing |
21931s | your soldier in the spawn rooms I mean |
21933s | the time feel like they're going to win |
21934s | this fight try they don't even have to |
21936s | commit anything and HQ now does have |
21939s | that Dragon Blade but yeah they ESS |
21941s | ethereal they didn't have to commit They |
21943s | just won that by being bullies |
21945s | essentially by not giving whis Embers |
21947s | any room to breathe just snuffing the |
21949s | flame out completely and that might be |
21952s | you know how this story ends it's the |
21954s | last opportunity for whis members they |
21956s | have to cap this point out they have to |
21957s | win on Gardens and run it all the way |
21959s | back but without sen Z again strikes |
21962s | blood as Z strikes blood Tex 10 on the |
21965s | followup I mean Timeless ethereal they |
21968s | are reaching a point where it is |
21969s | absolutely Unstoppable they're flying |
21972s | time itself I mean this is wisp ember's |
21975s | last chance to make their statement here |
21978s | in this Grand finals and and they don't |
21979s | even know where they are right now the |
21981s | lights are on far too bright they're |
21982s | completely blinded by the sheer force of |
21985s | Timeless ethereal they still have two |
21987s | two support alss and Bun is going to |
21988s | have a blizzard and how poetic would it |
21990s | be if she was the one to put this all to |
21993s | bed the May that has been leading the |
21995s | pack all season long being the one to |
21997s | put the death nail in the coffin for |
21999s | Wisp Embers HQ has to stop with the |
22001s | Dragon Blade H ke has to give it a shot |
22004s | gets Halo out of the picture no sound |
22006s | barrier available it's an opportunity is |
22009s | doing too much this could very well the |
22011s | final fight Kindred knows it committing |
22013s | the ultimate on in bun chucking the |
22015s | blizzard uh-oh cple players whis Embers |
22018s | they are locked up in place this is |
22020s | going to be a strle boss of a battle to |
22022s | make it the end and it's going to cost |
22024s | literally everything that they have |
22026s | that's four ultimates that they had to |
22028s | use to pull it back from the brink and |
22030s | you're not looking at much moving |
22032s | forwards but they do it and that is all |
22034s | that is important right now because |
22036s | there would not have been another chance |
22037s | and it was costly for Timeless ethereal |
22039s | 2o they invest the overclock the ant |
22041s | Matrix and buns blizzard and it wasn't |
22043s | enough because Senna and all of the |
22045s | healing that came through from her team |
22047s | was enough to put it over the edge just |
22049s | a little bit but now we're looking at |
22051s | Halo's sound barrier she could even just |
22053s | go super aggressive with this and win |
22055s | the entire fight outright and that might |
22057s | just be what she wants to do Timeless |
22058s | ethereal are gamling with house money |
22060s | right now so why the hell |
22063s | not ESS ethereal they're in they have |
22065s | the sound barrier Advantage Halo is |
22067s | going to push it Forward Cent is sent |
22070s | reeling off of the map the beginning of |
22073s | the end has begun unless wisp Embers can |
22075s | find the way to add few will to the fire |
22078s | and push it back and sa Hill is there to |
22080s | extinguish any last chance of Hope past |
22084s | present and the future Timeless ethereal |
22087s | have reign supreme over the competition |
22089s | and they're going to do it here for one |
22091s | last time and the calling all heroes |
22093s | championship title and did we really |
22096s | expect anything else out of a team that |
22098s | has been so dominant such a driving |
22101s | force since day one their worst finish |
22103s | the entire season long was third place |
22107s | and that that put a chip on their |
22108s | shoulder the rest of calling all heroes |
22110s | tournament cycle every other tournament |
22112s | from there on out there was no question |
22114s | who the best was there was no question |
22117s | who could topple them there was only the |
22119s | discussion of who might be taking second |
22121s | place and in this instance it's wisp |
22123s | Embers once again the bridesmaides But |
22126s | Here Comes the Bride it's Timeless |
22128s | ethereal once again adding one last |
22131s | trophy to their trophy case closing out |
22133s | the 2023 2024 season with the same |
22137s | dominance that they showed all year long |
22141s | they they finished exactly where they |
22144s | started with utter domination dropping |
22147s | one map the entirety of the playoff |
22150s | bracket the best of the best teams that |
22152s | we have never came close to pushing |
22156s | Timeless ethereal to step out of their |
22158s | comfort zone they're well practiced they |
22160s | have the super stardom that they need to |
22164s | pull ahead in this Grand finals match |
22167s | match shows that they are the true |
22169s | reigning Champions the CL old Heroes |
22172s | 2023 24 cycle I mean you have to be |
22175s | blown away with Z holding it down in the |
22178s | black line providing the damage where |
22180s | it's needed bun being the best on a hero |
22183s | that is so important in our current meta |
22186s | X10 the soier player just dominating in |
22189s | every aspect you could possibly want I |
22192s | mean Timeless ethereal have proven to |
22194s | build the best roster not only if |
22197s | individuals but as a team who can |
22199s | operate as one you you talk about bun |
22202s | being the best in her role on this may |
22204s | and that is absolutely true but it feels |
22206s | like every single role for Timeless |
22208s | ethereal you just have the best that you |
22211s | have to offer you got Halo and you got Z |
22213s | we've been singing Z's Praises all all |
22216s | game long and Halo from the GetGo was |
22219s | just booping people off the edge going |
22220s | super aggressive when she knows she can |
22222s | get away with it getting away with |
22224s | absolute murder absolute highway rock |
22227s | robbery on this Lucio you've got sill as |
22230s | the tank such a well-rounded tank player |
22232s | and as if they weren't well-rounded |
22234s | enough there's also sniper in the |
22235s | backline like or sorry in the bench |
22238s | right now to come out at any moment to |
22240s | be a threat on the sigma and then again |
22242s | X10 we touted X10 early on in the season |
22245s | it's potentially one of the most |
22247s | promising hit scan prospects Timeless |
22250s | ethereal heard that loud and clear and |
22251s | said hey you want to come play for us |
22253s | you want to help take a home a trophy |
22255s | for Timeless ethereal come on over we |
22257s | want nothing but the best and we got it |
22259s | and this team has proven top to bottom |
22262s | that they are undoubtedly the |
22265s | best there was never a doubt in our mind |
22268s | if there's a team that can withstand the |
22270s | test of this competition and the test of |
22273s | time it is timeless ethereal themselves |
22276s | CB as sad it is to say that the |
22278s | competition has concluded we still have |
22281s | so much to go over throughout the entire |
22284s | event we be bring hter back on for one |
22287s | final time going over our grand finals |
22290s | match don't go anywhere we still have |
22292s | plenty more to break |

22476s | [Music] |
22489s | well chat here we are at the uh at the |
22492s | very end of it all and just as we |
22494s | started out the entire season timeless |
22496s | ethereal still Reigns Supreme the |
22500s | Undisputed goats and the champions of |
22502s | calling all heroes 2023 2024 season |
22505s | we've got uner back to talk a little bit |
22507s | about how they did it let's talk a |
22510s | little bit about the play style and how |
22513s | uh Wiss kind of fell by the wayside |
22515s | there especially as things as as time |
22517s | went |
22518s | on yeah I mean all credit to wisp they |
22521s | really did try every approach to try and |
22523s | get a win out from this series they |
22525s | started playing a little a little bit |
22526s | aggressive on the side fight and then |
22528s | they went to a little bit more of a |
22529s | textbook strategy where they were just |
22531s | going even on the side fight and then |
22532s | they tried switching up the comp |
22533s | entirely to try and make a new match up |
22535s | so really I think whis they tried |
22537s | everything they possibly could to win |
22539s | the series but at the end of the day the |
22540s | fundamentals of Timeless they were just |
22542s | way too good they were really on a a |
22544s | completely different level yeah tiny I |
22547s | mean let's talk about some of those |
22548s | fundamentals tiny how did you feel about |
22550s | the fundamentals of Timeless ethereal |
22551s | like did you see even any cracks in this |
22554s | armor rarely rarely was there anything |
22557s | that you would want to go ahead and |
22558s | critique about Timeless ethereals |
22561s | performance today they had the map |
22563s | control under lock they knew how to |
22565s | manage their ultimate economy and as a |
22568s | team this was one of the most impressive |
22569s | performances that we have seen not only |
22572s | within the playoffs but arguably the |
22573s | entire Circuit of calling all Hero this |
22576s | calling all Heroes season and they |
22578s | really did show us today why they are |
22580s | the champions in the undisputedly best |
22582s | team round and it might even be the |
22585s | support play that was the difference |
22586s | maker cuz we talked a lot about just how |
22588s | Ironclad Z was in the backline and how |
22591s | Halo was getting so much value with |
22593s | these aggressive boops like hter would |
22595s | you agree how would you like break that |
22596s | down between those two very much so I |
22599s | mean the thing about Z is that they're |
22601s | playing at the perfect range all of the |
22603s | time when people are pushing into the |
22605s | side angle Z is able to apply pressure |
22607s | to those people but at the same time |
22608s | they can keep healing and dealing damage |
22610s | to the people that are pushing up in |
22611s | main so it really does feel like Z is |
22613s | watching every angle possible but not |
22615s | exposing them too much not puttings at a |
22617s | lot of risk so they kept their death |
22618s | count really low yet their damage |
22620s | extremely high so I think Z was really |
22622s | solid there and then you look over to |
22623s | Halo you look at that leang Tower |
22624s | performance and just incredible stuff |
22626s | anytime people go for a risky rotation |
22628s | towards the edge of the map Halo is |
22630s | there immediately knocking people off |
22631s | the map getting so many environmental |
22633s | kills all throughout Night Market really |
22635s | just insane performance from both of the |
22637s | supports carrying pretty hard out say |
22639s | and it's just intelligent play coming |
22641s | out from both of them sometimes |
22642s | aggressive sometimes safe but being able |
22644s | to read the room and know that you're |
22646s | about to have an opportunity for a big |
22647s | play like that is everything and I think |
22650s | that might be the difference makers tiny |
22652s | how do you feel about the uh about the |
22653s | support play coming |
22655s | out nothing short of impresses I I gotta |
22658s | agree with arter here carry performances |
22661s | and they're highly deserving of the |
22663s | praise that we've been giving them all |
22665s | match long I mean Halo and Z all had |
22667s | their Superstar Shining Moments today |
22670s | while there was Halo back on leang Tower |
22672s | and Z more on Midtown and both |
22675s | throughout the entirety of their other |
22678s | games that we've seen on stream and it's |
22680s | truly deserving the praise even if we |
22682s | don't see them in the kill feed like we |
22683s | talk about the DPS we talk about the |
22685s | tanks but what makes that all possible |
22687s | is the supports consistent and Star |
22689s | level performance I mean oh go ahead you |
22693s | got more let's go I will say that um you |
22696s | know just because the supports are |
22697s | performing well it doesn't detract from |
22698s | the other roles whatsoever like sill |
22700s | consistently really intelligent with the |
22702s | push pull in main you know never |
22704s | overcommit just maintaining the space |
22705s | all of the time time essentially making |
22707s | it very difficult for the enemy team to |
22709s | ever make a push through main but not |
22710s | eating up too many resources really just |
22712s | staying in the middle and holding the |
22713s | ground and X10 as well very frequently |
22716s | winning the surgeon duel Staying Alive |
22718s | almost all of the time as well even if |
22720s | they're not getting the initial pick on |
22721s | the surgeon later in the fight they're |
22723s | creeping into that aggressive angle and |
22724s | starting to farm kills from a high |
22726s | ground so this really was like it was |
22728s | the entire team working extremely well |
22730s | in order to get this outcome it wasn't |
22731s | just two supports going crazy one DPS |
22733s | having an insane series it was the |
22735s | entire team yeah |
22737s | you got to be firing on all cylinders |
22739s | there's an old saying by the way uh that |
22741s | goes if you make your opponent look like |
22742s | a nobody then you didn't beat anybody |
22744s | that's a little pro wrestling |
22745s | terminology for behind the scenes there |
22747s | so let's talk a little bit about the |
22749s | team that they beat cuz wisp Embers I |
22751s | mean they didn't look all that strong in |
22753s | this match up but there's a lot more |
22755s | under the surface there were some |
22756s | strengths there were some high points |
22758s | that did make them a realistic Contender |
22760s | coming into |
22761s | this for |
22763s | sure oh no you got that |
22767s | soor with with bembers they they've been |
22769s | that second place team and you know |
22771s | Senna has been playing out of her mind |
22773s | today and the other two days that we've |
22775s | seen her and as great as it has been I |
22778s | mean you have this incredible roster |
22780s | behind her they're just lacking in a lot |
22782s | of these team plays that I think hter |
22784s | was going to touch on a little bit more |
22786s | yeah I I was just going to say that you |
22788s | know it's it's really impressive to see |
22789s | wisp able to cycle through all of these |
22791s | different styles while facing defeat |
22793s | because when even though they were |
22795s | losing at the end of the day the fact |
22796s | that they were able to adapt their style |
22798s | over and over again it it showcases a |
22800s | real deep understanding of the game and |
22801s | their ability to adapt and change at |
22804s | least in an attempt to win even if it |
22805s | didn't quite get them over the line |
22808s | getting that second place I think is |
22809s | going to sting a fair bit but there's |
22811s | definitely nothing to be ashamed of if |
22813s | you are wisp Embers it just felt like |
22816s | Timeless ethereal on this day were just |
22817s | goated just insurmountable just an |
22820s | Unstoppable force that really represents |
22822s | the best of what calling all heroes has |
22824s | to offer answer you have any more uh any |
22826s | more closing thoughts on them before we |
22828s | uh get you to say your goodbyes |
22830s | here uh no to be honest I think the the |
22832s | thing about Timeless is just that they |
22834s | were solid across the board every team |
22836s | you know sometimes it looked like there |
22837s | was a superstar player you know perhaps |
22839s | you know carrying a little bit but in |
22841s | the case of timeless it really it really |
22842s | seemed like a well old machine across |
22843s | the board so I think that you know |
22845s | they've got to be really happy with that |
22846s | the fact that they're actually able to |
22847s | put it all together and everyone can be |
22849s | happy with their performance at the end |
22850s | of that match so yeah very happy with |
22852s | Thomas all right well thank you so much |
22854s | for the Insight the analysis been a |
22856s | pleasure to have you on here all night |

22921s | and be now A Champion what does that |
22923s | mean to |

22962s | yeah I just wanted to say that they play |
22964s | in Chan |
22965s | today what was uh what was the |
22967s | atmosphere in the voice chat like |
22969s | towards the end of surasa there when you |
22971s | guys definitely it seemed like you knew |
22973s | you had it one and there was nothing |
22975s | that could have stopped you so what was |
22976s | the what were the calms like what were |
22977s | the spirits like in those last couple of |
22980s | moments it was definitely very cluttered |
22983s | at the end but it was excitement that we |
22987s | were going to |
22988s | win very exciting very very high energy |
22991s | you love to hear it all right I'm going |
22993s | to hit you with a couple uh a couple of |
22995s | heavy questions but let's go ahead and |

23171s | yeah it's been it has felt like kind of |
23173s | a long weekend at times despite some of |
23175s | the three OverWatch that we've seen but |
23177s | this is how we got to the point where we |
23178s | are and we all knew right that it was |
23181s | going to come down to this that it was |
23182s | going to come down to Timeless ethereal |
23184s | putting on an absolute abolute master |
23186s | class right from the get-go immediately |
23190s | taking down inarizaki Michael wave wisp |
23192s | Embers and then wisp Embers again to |
23195s | solidify themselves as the top of the |
23198s | mountain yeah they got themselves to |
23201s | that grand finals nearly flawlessly and |
23204s | you know we had a lot of these squads |
23205s | fight their way through the lower |
23207s | bracket I mean talk about our loser |
23208s | semi-finals match Michael wave and |
23210s | Timeless Celestial was quite a banger to |
23213s | go ahead and watch their play might have |
23216s | ended in third with wisp Embers |
23218s | regaining the opportunity to meet |
23220s | Timeless theal in the grand finals once |
23222s | again just to meet the exact same fate |
23225s | as they did in those upper bracket |
23227s | finals and and CB there's so many story |
23231s | lines so many narratives that these |
23233s | players have grown as these teams and |
23236s | and us that we've been able to to follow |
23238s | throughout this time and it it's both |
23240s | it's a Bittersweet thing to see come to |
23242s | an end here with these championships |
23244s | today the good new news is it doesn't |
