1331s	good evening and welcome to the Grand
1333s	finals day four of the call angle heroes
1336s	unite minor 2. I'm tiny shiny joined by
1339s	the nerdy bird on the broadcast today we
1342s	have had three action-packed days of
1344s	gameplay in this tournament to lead up
1347s	to the Grand finals three teams are
1349s	remaining and our first two look into
1351s	book that spot into the grand finals
1353s	there's so much on the line today nerdy
1355s	bird there's a lot on the line and plus
1358s	this is kind of a little bit of a grunge
1360s	match slash rematch because previously
1362s	these two teams took each other on
1364s	brought it down to the wire in map five
1366s	Washington Timeless did end up winning
1368s	out that series three to two overall but
1371s	I mean you and I have talked about it a
1373s	little bit here and there drainers and
1375s	Timeless both are of course at the end
1377s	of the day no one's professionals here
1378s	they have they make mistakes and the
1382s	unfortunate truth is that the mistakes
1383s	of Washington Timeless make versus the
1385s	mistakes that the drainage team make
1386s	they unfortunately counterbalance each
1389s	other a little bit Timeless yeah like
1391s	great as team play but when they get
1393s	broken up they get there's a lot of
1394s	confusion going on in that confusion the
1396s	drainers capitalize because they take
1398s	those 1v1 strongly so let's see who VOD
1401s	reviewed the most and fixed the issues
1403s	the best in this series it's only been
1407s	what less than 24 hours since these two
1409s	teams oh it's enough last played each
1410s	other oh yeah plenty plenty of time sure
1412s	surely plenty of time they say to past
1413s	midnight or wherever they might be in
1415s	the world to be able to 2005 reason hey
1417s	we'll have to see which one pays off and
1419s	we'll get to into those two teams in
1421s	just a little bit first but first I want
1422s	to talk more about the tournament
1424s	structure and what all is on the line
1425s	what's been leading up to this moment
1427s	starting off with kind of the journey
1428s	those couple days that we've had uh to
1430s	get to date number four days one and two
1432s	which was uh the past weekend as a
1434s	matter of fact was that Swiss stage
1436s	where we knocked out eight of our 16
1438s	teams those eight moved on uh to our
1441s	double elimination playoff bracket so
1443s	today what we're going to be seeing is
1446s	are those loser finals that next team
1448s	that comes out on top will be heading to
1449s	face off the so far undefeated Valiant
1453s	Gardens for a chance at the title now
1455s	not only are they playing for the lovely
1457s	bragging rights and even the potential
1459s	to take down the valley and Gardens here
1460s	you got all of this lovely prize money
1462s	and Circa points on the line nerdy
1464s	yes so you're playing for a bag you're
1466s	playing for circuit points and because
1467s	of the way this tournament is structured
1469s	these circuit points don't per se get
1471s	awarded to the team they get awarded to
1472s	the players themselves because it allows
1474s	players to then move to different teams
1476s	and they're able to go to those teams
1477s	request an opportunity to trial or say
1479s	hey are you interested in having me as a
1480s	player and they can present their
1481s	circuit points because there's circuit
1482s	points I mean yeah getting a bag of
1484s	money is always nice but if you want to
1486s	continue to compete the eligibility to
1488s	compete in our grand finals in February
1490s	are based off these circuit points now
1492s	of course at the end of the day
1494s	finishing first is always nice but the
1495s	second third and fourth place teams
1497s	still walk away with a little bit of
1499s	money themselves and if you get on that
1501s	Podium you should still take pride in
1503s	the fact that you managed to knock out
1505s	the other teams all the way up until
1507s	this point and should take pride in the
1510s	fact that you made it on the podium
1512s	and that's a very good point that you
1513s	bring up there's one thing that we have
1515s	seen in just past Colonial Heroes
1517s	defense is there's always been kind of
1519s	one team that is stuck above the rest
1521s	but something that has kind of stuck out
1523s	is yes while we do have that one team in
1525s	the talent Guardians this event the next
1527s	I would say five or six teams that are
1530s	still unable to beat them have them
1532s	going back and forth and it leaves a
1534s	level of unpredictability when we look
1536s	at our matchup today and I think a lot
1538s	of that generally has to do with the map
1539s	pool that we're playing on there are not
1541s	an incredible amount of options
1544s	especially when you look at that hybrid
1545s	mapping pool I know we were talking
1547s	about it a little bit earlier with only
1548s	numbani and part of you so being in the
1550s	pool the body easily being the favorite
1553s	map Choice there and for good reasons
1555s	especially for teams like timeless
1557s	well if you think about it imbani has
1559s	been with us in OverWatch since
1561s	OverWatch won and yeah it was out of the
1563s	map pool for the beginning of OverWatch
1565s	2 to fix some problems and make some
1567s	changes but beyond that these teams
1569s	these players have a lot of experience
1570s	when it comes to playing around that map
1572s	whereas Verizon is a newer map it's been
1574s	taken out of the map a couple times due
1575s	to bugs and so overall there's less
1577s	experience however with the amount of
1580s	favorability that the body has had
1581s	hopefully these teams come in here
1583s	thinking hey maybe you know we should
1585s	practice a little bit more imporizo and
1587s	have the opportunity to maybe bring that
1588s	out if we absolutely have to but if your
1590s	Ace in the Hole is going to be that new
1592s	body map and of course United talked
1594s	about this we think Washington Timeless
1596s	their history on your body it's always
1598s	going to be the new Bonnie pick
1599s	you know if it ain't broke don't fix it
1602s	however if you're looking to throw in a
1603s	curveball go with the other map
1607s	I guess that was an interesting place
1608s	it's been in congestion in congestion
1610s	for one of the least favorites amongst
1612s	the OverWatch Community I call sales
1614s	another one that can come up in that
1616s	argument but I think that those those
1617s	two specifically are just not ones that
1619s	teams practice on this the architecture
1621s	those High grounds you have to play off
1623s	of are just so weird and it really takes
1625s	a type of team to want to play on that
1627s	map specifically you have to have a plan
1628s	going into it which just hasn't been the
1631s	case for either of the two teams I know
1633s	we've talked a lot about Washington
1634s	Timeless but we also need to bring up
1635s	the opponents that they're facing is
1637s	like we said this isn't the first time
1638s	that Washington animals have taken on
1640s	the drainers here in fact just yesterday
1643s	in those winners semis we went to a map
1646s	five here it was almost a reverse sweep
1649s	but Timeless came back at that map five
1651s	just to bring it all home and it really
1653s	does show you how close how these teams
1655s	are fighting Toe to Toe
1657s	and it comes down to the variability in
1660s	the team play versus the one-on-one play
1662s	between these teams like team drainers
1663s	they're really good at punishing a
1665s	player that takes too much of an off
1667s	angle overstays their welcome and
1669s	they're more than fine going toe-to-toe
1671s	with someone solo and cleaning it up
1673s	from that point and moving forward
1675s	because then your team goes up one and
1676s	if everyone is taking these 1V ones and
1679s	it gets very messy then drainers well
1681s	their as their name says they're gonna
1683s	drain the enemy team and they're going
1685s	to be able to be successful in those
1686s	fights however if Washington Timeless
1688s	can come together and work better as a
1690s	whole unit and not fall into that trap
1692s	they may be more successful
1694s	and we see a lot of those points come up
1696s	when you look at the roster of drainers
1698s	every single one of the names that are
1700s	on this team right now like I see
1701s	Kindred I see Senna I see KJ and chosen
1704s	Elaine as well being on the support here
1706s	these five players are all very good at
1708s	what they do they're some of the best
1710s	within the calling all heroes scene that
1712s	we've seen come out of it and
1714s	I think the one thing that's really been
1716s	holding them back so far keeping them
1717s	out of actually coming away with some of
1719s	these higher level matches has has been
1721s	their struggle in terms of the team play
1723s	here like you said a lot of instances
1725s	where I'll see Santa trying to take a
1727s	1v1 and Santa she's either on or she's
1730s	not when she's on the whole Lobby's dead
1732s	when she's not there can be a bit of
1734s	feeding on that side and I want to see
1735s	more of this happy medium start to be
1737s	found because I do genuinely think that
1739s	drainers have a chance to take down
1741s	Washington Timeless and Washington Times
1742s	they're not they're nowhere to laugh at
1743s	either these these players unlike uh
1746s	their opponents have been scrimming for
1749s	a decent margin here and and the big
1752s	thing we see Sawhill in for the starting
1754s	lineup now but sniper another one of
1757s	those tank players is a key component to
1759s	this roster
1760s	definitely in snozzler also very
1763s	well-rounded player the supports here of
1765s	the Mahler and Orion very good at
1767s	keeping their teams alive and
1768s	understanding when they're taking too
1770s	much pressure front lining too heavily
1771s	and then bun is a demon on the stick so
1774s	to speak a hit scan player that if you
1776s	are in her crosshairs you are saying
1778s	good night and you're playing the
1779s	respawn simulator so that 1v1 if you're
1782s	stuck against bun may not go in your
1784s	favor unless you know you're locked in
1785s	and ready to go and half the time you
1787s	know just being confident in your own
1789s	ability to click heads can help you a
1791s	little bit more but definitely as you
1793s	mentioned wanting to see the more
1794s	success happening I really want to see
1796s	drainers taking advantage of you know
1799s	the instances where we see them back off
1801s	a bit too much they get too slow I want
1803s	to see them you know looking for the
1804s	engage opportunities first using their
1806s	alts first taking the priority
1807s	positioning over the side of Washington
1809s	Timeless rather than waiting and
1810s	reacting to a Washington Timeless puts
1812s	on the table
1813s	and it's the heart one of the harder
1816s	maps to be able to do that on is control
1817s	arguably which of course that is where
1819s	we have to start setting the tempo here
1821s	I'm generally under the belief that if
1823s	Elios ends up going the way of the
1825s	drainers I think that they have a good
1828s	chance of beating Timeless here I still
1830s	think Timeless is favored but this first
1832s	map Helios the selection of Timeless is
1835s	going to define the path of this series
1837s	moving on forwards and a lot of that is
1840s	going to depend on those compositions
1842s	that we've seen it's been back and forth
1845s	in terms of what has been liked it's
1847s	been a lot of the erisa compositions the
1849s	junker queen Coming Out The Joker Queen
1852s	easily Ben Washington time was his
1854s	favorite and I see why they are so darn
1857s	good at it it is rare that I see them
1858s	losing the mirror match up here on the
1860s	other hand draener's Kindred more
1862s	specifically he has no problem pulling
1864s	out the junker Queen but also can go
1866s	over to that erisa or even Reinhardt at
1868s	times here so I think there's more
1870s	flexibility on the side of the drainers
1873s	coming in to ilios which you kind of
1875s	think about the map in general nerdy
1876s	bird and I'd like to see more of that
1879s	Orissa junker Queen style be playing
1881s	I mean I I'm a firm enjoyer of the
1884s	battle cattle as much as most players
1886s	are however if you think about it we are
1889s	playing on current patch JQ
1892s	she just got insanely buffed in my
1895s	opinion as far as the tags go her and
1897s	zarya which we didn't see so much zarya
1898s	up to this point but theoretically we
1901s	could possibly see zaragus pulled out
1902s	because her sustainability plus the
1905s	amount of how quickly she gains charge
1906s	both have gone up through the roof and
1910s	with that in mind I wouldn't be
1911s	surprised if perhaps someone decides to
1913s	go zarya overgoing battle cattle or
1916s	going or Jake you if they're just
1918s	struggling to create front line pressure
1920s	and if your tank is getting blown up DPS
1923s	you really gotta start finding heads and
1925s	clicking them to take some attention
1926s	away from your tank but we'll have to
1928s	see what happens because I feel like
1929s	zarya great sustainability if she has
1932s	the proper backline but JQ using your
1934s	Shout at the right times plus acts
1936s	absolutely impossible to overcome
1939s	without full team coordination
1941s	as much as I would love to see that
1943s	zarya comp we're still playing on that
1945s	former mid-p at that first season patch
1947s	we haven't hit mid-season yet so zarya
1949s	hasn't received that buff JQ still same
1952s	old JQ so
1953s	there's still gonna there's gonna be
1955s	that right so we I don't think we're
1956s	gonna see the zarya today which is
1958s	actually good for a lot of teams because
1959s	who's been practicing zarya not really
1962s	anybody she hasn't been relevant for a
1964s	while so very thankful that they can
1965s	continue to play this more junkrats or
1968s	junker Queen style excuse me and you
1971s	know Washington Timeless they're going
1972s	with a good old bread and butter and
1974s	it's gonna be quite an interesting
1975s	matchup you know what the trainers have
1976s	in mind everybody cold nobody else good
1980s	to see you
1982s	go ahead and look Washington Timeless
1984s	beginning to rolled out have the control
1987s	of this High Ground which makes it very
1989s	difficult for the drainers to engage the
1990s	only way that they're going to move
1991s	around this point is going to be by
1993s	accessing Senna here using this teleport
1995s	to find their way and kind of to the
1997s	back line ideally Orion is going to be
1999s	the target but they're taking such a
2000s	long time defines that opening in and
2003s	they're not using the teleporter to get
2005s	that Mobility so Timeless have so much
2007s	space at their disposal to get this
2009s	engaged and are easily gonna collapse on
2011s	the player's bun blaming that first
2012s	elimination of the day and KJ doing
2015s	their best to kind of layer this damage
2016s	get the trade out but Ben is just too
2019s	far in it takes a fully charged Senna to
2021s	eventually shut her down and this is
2023s	what I'm talking about right here where
2024s	Timeless they engage first drainers
2026s	throw immediately in the back foot
2028s	the unfortunate situation for drainers
2030s	is that you're playing around your
2032s	Reinhardt and it makes sense you're
2033s	going to want to lock down cage however
2035s	Washington Timeless they have the JQ
2037s	shout they have Lucio's speed Baptiste
2039s	can take an angle and use jump boots to
2041s	get high ground snozzlars takes position
2043s	has slide bun has Dash the mobility and
2046s	ability and chances to surround and
2047s	Conquer drainer it's a very strong for
2049s	Timeless as we engage in this next fight
2051s	and it looks like immortalities from
2052s	both sides are already going to be
2053s	burned it's those main cooldowns
2055s	especially KJS as well oh but status are
2058s	getting taken off the map a lot of that
2060s	damage Washington Timeless is gone but
2062s	them being still in control of the point
2063s	having this well to their favor I mean
2066s	the difference in range here the
2068s	difference in Mobility is just huge and
2070s	Timeless are playing that to their favor
2075s	as we are about to go into about the
2077s	halfway point for map one Washington
2080s	Timeless is coming up on three ultimates
2082s	almost all five in the bank drainers
2084s	getting close to having all oats online
2086s	but their Lucio is far behind an
2089s	ultimate charge and beat can be a make
2090s	or break ultimate to sustain or allow
2092s	your team to aggress into the enemy
2094s	front line I'm really interested to see
2096s	how Senna chooses to use this wall and
2098s	when will they use it to engage or are
2100s	they going to use it as an opportunity
2101s	to sustain their team during another
2103s	enemy ultimate
2105s	and they're gonna hold on to it for now
2107s	with hoping the activator does the job
2109s	which stars Lord that is not where you
2111s	should be standing in front of an ant
2112s	Matrix you need to be respecting those
2113s	players at a critical error from
2115s	Washington Timeless is going to be the
2117s	end of their control of the map as well
2119s	and they're gonna go ahead have to give
2121s	this one up but the nice thing is they
2123s	have plenty of tools to re-engage with
2125s	they do and we are in what some could
2127s	center last fight territory considering
2129s	the side of Washington Timeless only has
2131s	to get 18 they're going to this next
2133s	fight only ultimate not online is going
2135s	to be the Rampage from Sawhill
2136s	everything else is ready to go drainers
2139s	still have three ultimates that Lucio
2141s	beats can become essential if the side
2143s	of Washington Timeless decides to pair
2144s	up two ultimates that beat needs to drop
2146s	and if it gets Ajax it's gonna be real
2148s	unfortunate situation for drainers oh
2150s	drainers they're already getting it in
2152s	with that Bastion ultimate they need to
2154s	get aggressive but there it is Earth
2155s	shattered down saw Hill instantly
2157s	deleted this is the initiation the
2159s	trainers need to be using but the sound
2160s	barrier ended up coming out just counter
2163s	out that overclock which is fine you go
2165s	ahead you win the fight you get the
2166s	stall out but fun here they come in she
2168s	has the Dragon Blade in sight and SAS
2170s	Lord still managed to stay alive this is
2172s	timeless playing the long game two of
2174s	their favor exhausting the resources of
2176s	Traders and therefore exploiting it to
2178s	their advantage they're back in control
2180s	of the point but drainers they're gonna
2181s	have to rush that objective
2185s	10 seconds remaining for the sided
2187s	drainers to make it in and their Lucio
2189s	is down no swaps relying on this
2191s	teleporter to make sure they can get a
2193s	foothold on this point
2195s	their Reinhardt goes forward they have
2197s	to use amp Matrix early to even keep
2199s	their line alive it doesn't keep the
2202s	Reinhardt up it's set up they they get
2204s	Sawhill out of the picture you just
2205s	don't have that defensive utility once
2207s	that Stout is done and gone with so
2209s	Washington Timeless they're gonna back
2211s	up they're okay with it with where the
2212s	fight currently stands
2214s	and we go ahead
2216s	and see where drainers have been
2217s	starting to improve here they use a lot
2219s	of their utility in the previous fight
2221s	that M Matrix that was really their only
2223s	thing in to get up Orion gonna be
2226s	chunking their way towards an ultimate
2227s	of their own which is gonna be
2228s	beneficial to finding that window in
2230s	especially just go ahead it's plopping
2232s	snozzler behind that huge burst of
2235s	damage that you're gonna be able to work
2236s	with and that's the slow approach that
2237s	Washington Timeless are gonna take
2238s	they're not doing anything super risky
2241s	because they're waiting for trainers to
2242s	come up with an error they know what's
2243s	gonna happen they simply don't have the
2245s	shield through with stain in front of
2247s	any of the damage coming up and saw Hill
2249s	to get the free reign of the objective
2251s	as a result strainers have split up so
2253s	gosh darn four that they're having
2255s	trouble regrouping and they have to say
2257s	under chosen in Santa to make this
2259s	happen 99 once again the Washington
2261s	Timeless but the drainers barely hanging
2263s	on to like the third time they've been
2265s	in this situation they still managed to
2267s	hold on
2272s	you're still taking that time to go
2275s	ahead and look over what the objective
2278s	is currently standing at Washington
2279s	Timeless that Rampage some stall Hill
2282s	really the only tool to have to go into
2284s	it but the counters are available from
2285s	drainers it has to be something quick
2287s	and snappy if Washington Timeless want
2289s	to take back this point that they
2291s	initially had that control of the
2293s	trainers they're playing so close
2294s	together Timeless they don't want to be
2295s	anywhere near that back room especially
2297s	with age just chilling behind an app
2300s	Matrix you want to stay away from that
2301s	one but not that far baller gets in
2303s	Begins the chaos huge elimination
2305s	drainers don't get the value out of
2307s	their sound barrier either this is the
2310s	best case scenario for Washington
2311s	Timeless right now drainers they're
2312s	running on fumes to keep this fight up
2315s	and running or more specifically Kindred
2316s	for that matter Washington time was my
2318s	goodness did they bind their time for
2320s	this fight but here they are sitting on
2323s	top of Elios well
2331s	still waiting
2333s	able to see the first map with the way
2335s	of Washington timeless
2338s	this is what we're talking about
2339s	initially at the start of the series is
2342s	we wanted to see where
2344s	where drainers would start to improve
2346s	and like I said a lot of this Tempo
2348s	would come up to be in this control map
2350s	when we see drainers start to take that
2352s	initiative where they can play in total
2354s	honesty I'm not a fan of that Reinhardt
2356s	pick coming in uh from the drainers and
2359s	switching that up here to go over to
2361s	junker Queen if that is the option that
2363s	drones want to go with I am here for it
2365s	the only thing that is interesting is
2368s	this back line of the baptism yes it
2371s	gives you a lot of strength in poke but
2372s	the support for Kindred you don't have
2375s	that speed it's a huge sacrifice
2376s	especially when you're playing with the
2378s	JQ they have to be winning these fights
2381s	long range as soon as Washington
2382s	Timeless gets close this is as good as
2384s	over for drainers right now and snozzler
2387s	on the Widowmaker as well look into an
2390s	opportunity find these shots Senna
2391s	nearing that on the other end and you
2394s	did the two players that we know would
2396s	be going back at it oh barely picking
2398s	that corner they need to be careful of
2400s	where the other heads are lying here but
2403s	Santa's still strong willing to land a
2405s	couple of these shotsies to jump up
2407s	barely dodging out of the way both teams
2410s	very slow to engage just sitting
2412s	watching waiting Chris Nosler to find
2415s	that advantage to get that pick out and
2418s	drayner's gonna be the ones to get the
2420s	first capture but there's yet to be any
2421s	fight on this point
2423s	snozzler makes a very bold move using
2426s	that grapple shot chosen punishes the
2428s	off angle bun found Kindred though and
2431s	for drainers losing that front line with
2433s	the Enemy team this close to them both
2435s	supports playing a little bit of
2437s	supportable combat unfortunately Sawhill
2439s	is going to capitalize on that you
2440s	mentioned it earlier not seeing the
2441s	Reinhardt here I think is the better
2443s	option for the trainers the Reinhardt
2445s	played just too slow they're getting
2446s	surrounded and completely collapsed upon
2449s	however now it's a battle of wits a
2452s	little bit between snozzler and Cena
2454s	because those two can create old
2455s	cleaning opportunities for their team by
2457s	finding that early elimination however
2459s	Washington was losing snozzler that
2461s	early to chosen allowed for the other
2464s	team to sustain a bit longer because it
2466s	takes away those line of sight pressures
2467s	see if snozzler is able to find the
2469s	first elimination here or if it's going
2470s	to be Senna
2473s	looking for that shot and you can see
2476s	how careful the drainers are being right
2478s	now they're afraid of what snazzler can
2480s	do and it's all up to seven to at least
2482s	keep them occupied for the time being
2483s	but it's saw Hill that initiation all
2486s	it's got to be is that that a little
2488s	immortality field which doesn't get the
2489s	value but the aggression is punished
2491s	slightly the drainers they are down in
2493s	numbers but so are Washington Timeless
2495s	only the tank is remaining and there's
2498s	not gonna be much to show for that at
2500s	all trainers are just doing so much
2501s	better on this JQ comp
2505s	going to this next fight drainers are
2507s	also going to have the ultimate
2509s	advantage that Transcendence they don't
2511s	need to worry about sawhill's ultimate
2513s	Genji bun close to that blade however if
2517s	they're if they manage to hang on to
2519s	baptist shift immortality slide shout
2522s	they won't even need to use entrance and
2524s	we'll be able to use it instead to
2525s	sustain through a different situation to
2526s	keep the fight longer which is what's
2528s	been paying off for them so far
2530s	exactly when these fights go long and
2532s	Timeless can initiate drainers have no
2533s	problem closing it out or even starting
2535s	them Orion going down best case scenario
2538s	for drainers right now it's their bite
2539s	to lose with all of the ultimates on the
2542s	board they're making this look easy is
2543s	this the same team that we're seeing
2545s	from last map right now Helios it
2548s	specifically ruins having Senna having
2550s	KJ onto this map to get that poke done
2553s	and this is where they're strongest and
2555s	there's absolutely no doubt about it now
2557s	we just gotta hope that they don't make
2559s	a similar mistake to the what they did
2560s	map one and choosing to try and play the
2562s	more brawl heavy composition because yes
2564s	you have point which is in a box and
2566s	then you also have the area around the
2568s	mini at cage which is also a box but
2570s	just that Reinhardt composition did not
2572s	work out for drainers looks like they
2573s	are going to be sticking more with the
2575s	never mind as I'm talking I get baited
2578s	Kindred is swapping over to Diva and
2580s	Diva has been a very Hit or Miss tank
2583s	within our complete calling all heroes
2585s	series either receive Divas absolutely
2587s	dominate or they get obliterated my
2589s	concern here is the amount of focus fire
2591s	that can come out from Washington
2592s	Timeless severely punishing Kindred on
2594s	the diva
2596s	I I don't know I really don't know about
2598s	this Diva pick it does not feel good you
2600s	did good on the JQ why are we changing
2602s	things right you just that's kind of all
2606s	I have to say for this composition right
2608s	now the only Advantage is you can bunker
2610s	down on The High Ground but what value
2611s	is that gonna give you when you need to
2613s	start rotating to this objective where
2615s	Timeless they're going to have no issue
2617s	meaning you hear whatsoever and
2619s	sure you're gonna get an early lead off
2621s	that you force the speed cooldowns out
2623s	early from Timeless but here they are
2625s	they're ready just to drop down engage
2626s	looking for that player to step out of
2628s	line and in that case it is the baptism
2631s	one actually ends up getting punished
2633s	for that aggression brainers they got
2635s	there first they got the setup and for
2637s	the first time Timeless are the team
2639s	that are slow to react they are just not
2641s	looking as coordinated as they did in
2643s	the first mapper even in the previous
2645s	games that we've seen
2647s	and for the side of drainers the biggest
2649s	concerned with Diva oh my gosh orian I'm
2652s	so sorry the biggest thing for kinder to
2654s	be able to sustain in tank formation not
2657s	lose Toki is the fact that their DPS
2660s	need to be creating a lot of pressure
2662s	and making sure that their diva is not
2664s	the one taking all of the front line
2666s	aggression coming out from Washington
2667s	Times they did that very well they
2669s	created pressure they forced out
2670s	cooldowns early and then they were able
2672s	to rotate into the point now if
2673s	Washington Timeless decides to rotate
2675s	here using fewer cooldowns there's a
2677s	chance they force a fight on point and
2679s	saw Hill can get a lot of sustain if
2681s	there's multiple people on point however
2682s	Senna as well as
2685s	KJ are playing Heroes that don't need to
2688s	be on point no not at all and Drake is
2690s	like specifically Santa looking out here
2692s	on the ash just chilling in the mid lane
2694s	and there is no problem with that being
2696s	a sniper because Washington Timeless
2698s	they need to get to the objective and
2700s	they're struggling to get a path in
2702s	right now the problem is is that
2704s	Timeless they're not playing a winch
2705s	snozzler is not taking care of senna if
2708s	Senna is on she's cooking and when she's
2710s	cooking there's no chance for time to
2711s	push
2712s	My ultimate is charging me
2715s	we could be once again entering last
2717s	fight unless Washington Timeless managed
2719s	to get a foothold onto this objective
2721s	they are slow to build these ultimates
2724s	but drainers are as well they do have
2726s	that baptistal as well as captive sun
2728s	coming out from Chosen and captive Sun
2730s	can be absolutely deadly considering
2732s	they're not gonna have cleanse they only
2733s	have a more bun is dead there's gonna be
2735s	no opportunity for a deflect on it they
2737s	have to rely on Baptist and Lucia to
2739s	sustain through them you needed one to
2742s	be alive there you really did Timeless
2743s	they just don't add the tools in the
2746s	tank to take this battle they've been so
2748s	behind since Helios getting shut out and
2750s	they are the brink of doing it again
2752s	it's only solo but the ultimate goes
2754s	down Senna why is it the player this map
2757s	Santa was the only one for draener
2759s	specifically to come up Big B that
2762s	pop-off star that we know she can be and
2765s	if drainers they're getting that Tempo
2766s	going now they're taking that lead they
2768s	are vengeful from their match yesterday
2770s	they want this Grand finals and they
2771s	want it bad
2774s	well even though sonnet absolutely
2775s	popped off saw Hill's gonna be the one
2777s	to get the play of the game on JQ it
2779s	looks like you know almost one before
2781s	but you see Senna in the kill feed here
2783s	gets a double kill
2785s	it's still set up I mean regardless if
2787s	it's all don't get me wrong it's all
2789s	hell pretty darn cool too but Santa was
2791s	the player that game to put in the work
2793s	whether it was on the Widowmaker but
2795s	especially on that Ash that Ash is what
2797s	she is most known for and it's Ash isn't
2800s	the hero that we traditionally see
2802s	within the higher levels of competitive
2804s	play but it has been one that we've seen
2806s	whenever drainers have come to play and
2808s	Timeless they're therefore being forced
2809s	to mirror they're putting salslar on
2811s	that Ash just to try to contest Senna
2813s	and what she's been doing and it's a
2816s	real problem that they were facing they
2818s	just fell apart under under the reign of
2821s	that JQ and I did mention this before
2823s	Saul Hill they are a great individual
2825s	player they come up with these pop-off
2827s	moments but I do think there's a
2828s	noticeable difference between when
2831s	Sawhill isn't on the tank and then when
2833s	I see sniper the squad overall looks
2836s	more coordinated they look like they
2838s	have a good plan of how they want to
2840s	engage the fight that's where I really
2841s	start to see that speed tick up and
2843s	knowing that we're heading to Hybrid
2844s	next I'm fully expecting that new body
2847s	pick and sniper oh you put into the JQ
2849s	Sigma
2850s	most definitely I can't argue with you
2851s	on that one I mean like history speaks
2853s	for itself if the numbers decide to
2855s	change and they do want to throw in a
2856s	curveball I'll be interested to see what
2858s	they pull out however I do think going
2860s	with a new body pick is the safest
2861s	opportunity here for Washington Timeless
2862s	drainers probably are well aware of that
2864s	and honestly
2867s	I'm I'm gonna be completely Fair
2870s	the DPS have been getting a little bit
2872s	uh less lucky as far as the game is
2875s	decided because I do agree Senna did
2877s	definitely pop off but the tanks and
2878s	supports have been getting plays of the
2879s	game but we cannot disregard the effort
2882s	coming out from the DPS and one thing I
2884s	do want to say is I'm sorry Bastion
2885s	falling down the well is never fun we
2887s	can hear that opening pick from chosen
2889s	getting out that BPS the Widowmaker and
2891s	then the enemy Widowmaker takes a 1v1
2893s	with Genji even evening the playing
2894s	field but here we have Senna on this
2897s	action you mentioned this map is a
2898s	center highlight reel that is what this
2900s	is and you mentioned we don't see a lot
2903s	of Ash but Ash creates a lot of
2904s	opportunity because that Dynamite when
2906s	people aren't playing smart when they
2907s	are allowing themselves to be grouped up
2910s	or playing inside rooms you can force
2912s	cooldowns you can force them into bad
2913s	positions by using that dynamite and it
2915s	gives you ultimate charge and it makes
2917s	them get into a bad position to either
2918s	like I said either they're forced into a
2920s	bad spot or they use cooldowns and then
2922s	your team is able to capitalize on it
2924s	and that's where drainers have looks
2927s	really good is that when they are able
2929s	to take their time and really talk
2931s	through what they want to do get that
2933s	set up specifically with their DPS which
2935s	are their strong point
2937s	then they're just that's where they're
2939s	going in the fights Timeless if they go
2941s	fast they win if they don't it's
2942s	strangers I I it's such a simple concept
2945s	that you really I let me phrase that I
2947s	make it sound very simple but that is
2949s	not at all the case of what it is there
2951s	are so many different factors that
2952s	actually go into these plays in terms of
2954s	the positioning what calls are being
2956s	made where is the alt tracking how is
2957s	that taking place and on a map like
2960s	ilios it tends to get chaotic and teams
2962s	that thrive in their chaos welcome
2964s	drainers they are the chaos to be
2967s	totally Frank with you and when you look
2969s	to our future Maps hybrid in particular
2971s	you do require a much more gentle hand
2974s	when you're going at it you can't just
2975s	be like full steam ahead we're gonna
2976s	kill five that's that's not really how
2978s	hybrid works specifically it's a lot
2980s	more reliant on that positioning where
2982s	are you posting up with that strict
2983s	attack for attack versus defensive roles
2986s	and that is something that Timeless have
2988s	ex have succeeded on and have exceeded
2991s	every single opponent that I have seen
2993s	them face I genuinely think they are
2994s	unbeatable on this map if they pick
2996s	parties though right now I'm in to be
2997s	concerned for their sanity
2999s	I yeah I too will be concerned just
3002s	because we mentioned if it ain't broke
3004s	don't fix it and just some things went
3008s	wrong in the last map and I feel like
3010s	possibly especially after the after we
3012s	were on well
3013s	in on ruins it felt like the side of
3016s	Washington Timeless was starting to back
3018s	off too much they were giving up too
3019s	much space and drainers they they do
3021s	this a similar thing but they started to
3023s	slowly encroach on that space that was
3025s	being created and they realized the
3027s	success that comes with that so claiming
3029s	that space not giving up the neutral
3030s	ground very important and drainers they
3032s	have fixed the taking too long the
3035s	engage moments that we've seen in the
3036s	past and hopefully they're able to
3038s	continue to do that but the one caveat
3041s	with these hybrid Maps is that you kind
3042s	of you do go from you know it is a
3044s	control Point into an escort point and
3047s	that is where things can start to get
3048s	really concerning in the escort portions
3049s	because if your team is guilty of taking
3051s	a lot of off angles not calling when
3053s	they're going for the off angle flank
3055s	that is where you see a lot of
3057s	elimination start to happen because
3058s	someone starts to feed a little bit so
3060s	it comes to being a little bit
3061s	unconscious of where you're going and
3063s	conscious of where both your tank and
3065s	your supports are in retrospect to where
3066s	you are and making sure you're not just
3068s	going to feed
3070s	which I'm very glad you you said that
3073s	well I mean not the feeling I never like
3075s	to see feeding but specifically when I
3078s	look back at well drainers we're getting
3080s	punished for okay maybe not as far as
3083s	feeding but for being even slightly out
3085s	of position they were away from their
3086s	team because they have the confidence in
3089s	themselves as individual players and yes
3091s	you are that good but when you look at a
3092s	team like Washington Timeless they're
3094s	not going to let you get away with those
3095s	mistakes and it really took that to the
3097s	point where it had to be Senna killing
3099s	at least half the team every single
3101s	fight for that to start to iron out and
3103s	I think that
3104s	Center
3105s	as many times have I said her name is
3108s	very very important when we begin to
3110s	look at our hybrid map selection which
3112s	has been confirmed numbani
3114s	is at least a map no I'm not surprised
3117s	I'm not surprised and there's a good
3119s	reason for this and a lot of it is going
3122s	to dependsena continue to perform the
3125s	way that she has
3126s	her Highs are super High when she's on
3129s	she cups said that I know but it needs
3132s	to be repeated because it needs to be
3133s	drilled into everyone's main
3134s	specifically Timeless right now because
3136s	if Senna is still going to be on fire
3138s	for the remainder of this map you're
3140s	gonna have to come up with a solution
3141s	but the other thing that I do see with
3144s	Senna is that she's either on or she's
3146s	not so if we're going to start to get to
3148s	that point where that inconsistency
3149s	begins to show and they lean away from
3152s	that Timeless they're gonna run away
3153s	with it I think it gets that simple uh
3156s	in terms of the effect here especially
3158s	on who's going to be attacking versus
3160s	defending you can look at this first
3161s	point of nubana you see these little
3164s	walkways that you have on on The High
3166s	Ground which are just perfect for
3168s	hitscan to come up we've seen a lot of
3169s	Ash and those Echoes and even a little
3171s	bit of Hanzo come out that are just
3174s	great at those angles
3177s	and it does look like we have sniper
3180s	coming in for the side of Washington
3182s	time as we discuss sniper coming in most
3184s	likely on this map
3186s	during day one of calling all heroes we
3189s	did see sniper choose to go with the
3191s	diva pick here eventually realize maybe
3194s	not the best call did go Sigma but this
3196s	time starting out on the JQ now
3199s	of course a portion of this gameplay
3202s	when it comes to tanks is a little bit
3204s	of the rock paper scissors game and for
3206s	drainers being on offense first if
3208s	Kindred sticks with this Reinhardt we
3210s	possibly could see this swap over to ajq
3213s	however yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna just
3215s	trust that sun is actually going to stay
3216s	no Senna okay yeah staying on on the
3219s	symmetra with the Bastion Reinhardt
3221s	means they're probably gonna go
3222s	underneath and teleport to The High
3223s	Ground possibly Washington Timeless is
3225s	anticipating this because they are
3227s	positioned very linearly on the left
3228s	side High Ground as opposed to split up
3230s	to surround both High grounds
3232s	I can tell you right now the washing
3234s	titles are expecting it this is the
3235s	exact same competent trainers attempted
3237s	to pull out on their previous attack
3239s	against Washington Timeless and you know
3241s	what happened they got full held nerdy
3244s	bird this just was not the play and
3246s	primarily it was because they couldn't
3247s	get these teleporters into successful
3249s	positions or the peel was just better
3251s	from Timeless so they're trying to Juke
3252s	him out here but eventually this High
3254s	Ground is where you take place but
3255s	Kindred Shield is down that Reinhardt
3257s	does not work at this angle especially
3259s	when you get split like that and this is
3262s	where Washington time was this is their
3263s	game right now drainers they're playing
3266s	we saw drainers do this day one as well
3269s	when they went underneath and tried to
3270s	teleport to the right side High Ground
3272s	from attackers perspective you could
3274s	tell that there was a lack of a one two
3276s	three on the TP because the TP went down
3278s	one person took it another person took
3281s	it and then the rest of the team stayed
3284s	in one spot and it does look like we
3285s	have a disconnect coming on inside
3287s	Washington Timeless so we'll take a
3289s	moment and give them the opportunity to
3290s	reconnect hopefully we'll see them very
3291s	soon sometimes you know your internet is
3294s	your best friend allows you play video
3295s	games but sometimes it's your enemy
3297s	yeah but goodness hopefully we can get
3299s	those players back in shortly and I know
3301s	that that was a problem for Timeless
3303s	before I believe it was bun we didn't
3304s	even get to see her at all in week one
3307s	during that switch stage because of
3308s	Internet issues and it was such an
3310s	unfortunate occurrence because she is so
3312s	good at that Flex DPS role that Genji in
3315s	the symmetra did have a bit of a rough
3317s	first map I will say a lot of the time
3319s	she either it was so polarizing either
3321s	had the first elimination or the first
3323s	death there wasn't much in between going
3325s	on there
3326s	I think that's a common Trend among a
3329s	lot of OverWatch players that either you
3331s	will you've perfected your playstyle and
3333s	you're very comfortable on the hero that
3334s	you you choose to play or the two or
3336s	three that you play for your team or you
3339s	get the I'm hot and I'm cold sometimes
3341s	yeah and we hadn't attempt to charge
3344s	through Reinhardt on the TP TP gets
3347s	eviscerated and positioning is already
3349s	lost again for drainers so they have to
3350s	wait for another TP from Santa they're
3353s	just trying to set it up but they're
3354s	sitting ducks they take this amount of
3356s	poke damage you lose the shield cooldown
3358s	so they have to take it slow but that is
3360s	the treat that they wanted a ride in a
3361s	bun sitting pretty did not know what was
3363s	going to hit them drainers finally got
3365s	that first successful teleporter but
3366s	still three players remaining for
3368s	Timeless and beyond that high ground and
3370s	those ultimates getting nearer at least
3372s	wealth it used to be I would say they
3374s	would have a chance but as of now
3375s	drainers they have full control of this
3378s	objective and this is the turnaround
3380s	that I wanted to see they finally got
3382s	all five players through that teleporter
3384s	I want a full round of applause for that
3386s	because I think that's the first time it
3387s	has happened when I've seen them play
3390s	let's hope that they continue to run
3392s	Cena on this symmetra we see that
3394s	teleporter success happen more
3396s	frequently than not bun is waiting for
3399s	her opportunity to strike right now
3400s	staring down the main pathway waiting
3403s	for our team to catch up and always go
3404s	into this next fight with a bastional
3406s	symbol and almost everything else four
3408s	Timeless but the window for the side of
3410s	drainers they also have every old plus
3413s	that window engaging the Bastion
3415s	artillery string doesn't look like it'll
3417s	pick up any eliminations no did you see
3420s	how everybody just rushed under the
3422s	Kindred sealed like an umbrella there
3424s	that was hilarious even he's like got to
3427s	stay out of the rain it's raining cat
3428s	and dogs or rather giant artillery
3430s	Bombshells which is now the case for
3431s	Washington Timeless they better get a
3433s	move on watch out for those and not too
3436s	concerned but ooh Ballard isn't getting
3438s	caught out that is a huge load of
3439s	Timeless that he can use these ultimates
3441s	to compensate for it but the Rampage
3442s	doesn't get as much value as they would
3444s	have liked to see and as a result they
3446s	need to use even more to invest into
3448s	that fight which in the end is pretty
3451s	okay when you look at what draener's
3453s	headies on the other end and getting
3455s	this hold especially in this spot with a
3457s	brawl competition these spawn holds are
3458s	brutal at second Point new body
3461s	one thing you got to think about is they
3462s	unfortunately ended up losing your Lucio
3464s	and losing your your main support can
3466s	make a fight extremely difficult to come
3468s	out on top of more often than not you're
3469s	gonna end up losing so what they did is
3470s	they coined their ultimates they ended
3472s	up paying both the photon barrier as
3475s	well as the JQ ultimate to put them
3477s	equal and then put them one up with the
3479s	extra old and JQ jiggled peeking in the
3482s	doorway ultimately was a key to success
3485s	as we was chosen early on here in this
3487s	next engage you know what as creative as
3489s	that was from Kindred flanking around
3491s	the entire team and getting a bit off
3492s	the map all right it was worth it for
3495s	the comedic effect but Kindred you left
3497s	your team high and dry they just got
3499s	dropped on and a half to be totally
3501s	Frank with the Washington Timeless and
3503s	they're not gonna let kitchen get away
3505s	with any of that shenanigans
3507s	okay so you you you're a Reinhardt
3510s	player you're doing some funny stuff you
3511s	got it for the Highlight Reel but as
3513s	much as I applauded I respect it I love
3515s	seeing it in the latter when it's
3517s	happening in team plate the enemy team
3518s	is going to see there is no tank and
3520s	they'll know you're doing something
3521s	silly
3522s	they went for the funny right you went
3524s	for the funny all right it didn't work
3525s	you go ahead for the serious play
3526s	especially having that Earth shatter and
3528s	end getting elimination hey you got an
3530s	ultimate up and it's basically free for
3531s	kitchen right now oh my gosh
3534s	okay bolted above the Earth chatter and
3537s	managed to take out Kendra that arguably
3539s	saved the team right there the Sal
3541s	barrier has to be put into Blazer
3542s	Washington time was there an overdrive
3544s	to continue throwing this one up and wow
3547s	that was something I mean Kindred
3548s	arguably tilted off of that one and
3550s	switching over to the Jungle Queen
3551s	immediately I wanted to see this pick
3555s	I would be too but vaulting over the
3558s	Reinhardt or Shadow the prediction
3560s	absolutely clean now as we go to this
3563s	next fight we're going to have yet
3564s	another Bastion ultimate both sides bun
3566s	is trailing Senna as far as the photon
3568s	barrier charge goes and then chosen can
3571s	round this corner around bust with amp
3574s	Matrix and possibly create an entire
3576s	opportunity for their team to engage we
3577s	hear Photon barrier go up oh but that
3580s	Rampage is absolutely massive it's both
3582s	supports and some wow this is sniper
3586s	coming in big for Washington Times Like
3588s	I said there's a noticeable difference
3589s	in how these fights end up playing out
3591s	not only because of this player's
3592s	individual talent but the way that the
3594s	team rallied behind her
3596s	great things yeah and you just heard
3599s	Athena mention it we have 60 seconds
3601s	left
3603s	we are about halfway to the second
3605s	checkpoint and JK is going to start out
3608s	with the artillery strike looks like
3610s	they might just be able to take out a
3611s	teleporter not sure if she got anything
3612s	else from that one so we have just our
3616s	tanks pushing forward to gain ground
3618s	Photon barrier and amp Matrix both
3621s	dedicated to start this fight Timeless
3623s	they're taking this quick they do not
3624s	want trainers to have the opportunity to
3626s	sit down use their cooldowns and that's
3628s	what you do you take the space you don't
3630s	give it away for free question Timeless
3632s	they've learned something from this map
3633s	they gave up so much space and time
3635s	lapse time and drainers they're playing
3637s	Timeless game
3640s	and you're right I mean the thing with
3642s	Timeless is that they're recognizing we
3645s	have to we don't have to use our
3646s	cooldowns but we have to make you spend
3648s	yours to take the space that you want
3650s	and they're doing it cleanly as we see
3652s	snipers pick up one and small bar with
3655s	another one yeah that's it like you see
3657s	the app Matrix you walk on through
3659s	Washington Timeless I think they Unbound
3660s	their s keys for this match I I
3662s	genuinely think so nerdy bird because it
3665s	has been forwards it has been W and you
3667s	know what they arguably got the W not
3670s	many teams end up getting a hold here on
3672s	new Bonnie there's realistically one
3674s	fight you can take one fight you can win
3675s	it is here in the spawns which they
3677s	managed to do for a solid three and a
3680s	half minutes which is just crazy
3682s	considering how this match ended up
3683s	starting out and really gives drainers a
3686s	big task ahead of them
3688s	Timeless definitely created advantages
3690s	and kept playing for those advantages
3691s	not giving up when they recognized hey
3694s	they used it more first we have it more
3696s	Advantage let's go plus the late JQ swap
3700s	that we saw coming out honestly for
3702s	Kindred I feel like just starting on the
3704s	JQ would have been so much stronger for
3706s	the side of the drainers because as we
3708s	saw from sniper Rampage can be extremely
3710s	powerful now they're going to be on
3712s	defense and we have Center once again
3713s	popping over to that Ash dynamites could
3716s	theoretically be very oppressive but
3718s	Washington Timeless is pulling out the
3720s	composition the drainage started on now
3722s	my only feeling
3732s	it's real
3734s	so we got the battle cattle coming out
3736s	from Kindred as well as chosen on the
3739s	life we've got this would be interesting
3740s	I mean if if someone wants to play Silly
3743s	or way too far forward and use grip to
3746s	get out I'll respect was there a
3749s	discussion okay I was like okay okay did
3752s	they talk and say life Weaver mirror
3755s	I mean hey don't get me wrong life
3757s	Weaver good on the eyes good at the
3759s	gameplay
3760s	that could be really questionable
3761s	there's such silly stuff you could pull
3763s	out with maybe Senna or KJ here but
3766s	other than that I mean you just are get
3768s	it's a heal by life Weaver is a heel bot
3770s	that just sits there maybe it goes if
3771s	people pedal every now and again but
3772s	you're sacrificing speed but well I
3774s	guess typos they don't have that either
3775s	KJ to the Lord a boom goes the Lucio and
3779s	they're just stranded I am also having
3782s	flashbacks to day one because here we
3785s	had a recent multi kills happening
3787s	because of people staying on this
3789s	platform thankfully Timeless is
3791s	recognizing the risk that they put
3792s	forward by stepping out of this doorway
3794s	they're staying there however Kindred is
3796s	just posted up undeterred by the
3798s	prospect of possibly having a full team
3800s	swing because Kindred can just spear
3802s	spin them off they've fully rotated take
3804s	the other high ground and I'm a little
3806s	scared for the Maller looks like they're
3808s	actually going to rotate team over here
3810s	to try and get Mueller back okay see
3812s	that was actually genius the way that
3814s	that life grip was used just joints Lane
3817s	out of the line of danger okay I see the
3819s	purpose of this now chosen all right all
3821s	right you you chose the right hero I'm
3822s	starting to see it but you need to show
3824s	me more because bun just took out your
3826s	main source of damage here at staslar is
3828s	on The High Ground uncontested
3830s	Washington Timeless they split up
3831s	drainers have pressure from so many
3833s	angles and they're going to crumble
3834s	under all of the pressure as a result
3837s	and this is gonna be a hefty timing to
3838s	be able to walk away from the first
3839s	point with
3840s	you mentioned chosen being on the life
3842s	Weaver with life where grape swapping
3844s	over the Anna and the one thing I will
3845s	say is that if your whole reason for
3847s	using life grip is to get your teammate
3850s	out of a bad position that means that
3852s	there's a problem because they're
3853s	already in a bad position they're not
3854s	anticipating what damage is coming out
3856s	what abilities are being used and where
3858s	the enemy is looking to rotate reducing
3860s	chosen swap to be honest we have Anna
3861s	Baptiste coming out right now for the
3863s	side of the drainers and be very
3864s	interested to see how this works out not
3866s	a combination we typically see haven't
3868s	seen it in a long time there's a very
3870s	good reason why we don't see this back
3872s	piece on it it offers a lot of healing
3874s	arguably too much I want to see Lane and
3877s	chosen start to use their damage
3878s	abilities specifically that bionate that
3880s	is what they're banking on right now for
3882s	Timeless to get hit with an ante and
3884s	make it work but Joseph can't get the
3885s	angle and the rest of the team it's just
3887s	collapsed so there's no life grip to get
3889s	you out of that scenario so drainers
3891s	they're on the back with you they're
3892s	struggling to make something happen and
3895s	Timeless they're not slowing down there
3897s	is no backing it is in or we're dead and
3899s	they are certainly in and the only one's
3902s	dead here or the trainers the teleport
3904s	out to escape this is Washington
3905s	timelessness map we knew they would pick
3907s	it and this is exactly the reason why
3911s	it's almost as though they're like hey
3913s	control Point not our strength our new
3915s	Bonnie we got that so if we don't do too
3918s	well on map one we know we can pick map
3920s	two and come out on top it looks like
3921s	our play of the game's going to be going
3923s	over to Lucio the Mahler let's see what
3925s	the game chose to be the highlight of
3927s	this entire new body map and of course
3929s	environmentals very strong
3931s	oh they most certainly are and I think
3933s	the baller here has been an integral
3935s	part of the success that we saw
3937s	Washington Timeless have on that map the
3939s	speed the speed is how they win and
3941s	glucose that is the speed character for
3942s	you right there so the Mahler came up
3944s	big was able to work in Tangent with
3947s	sniper and I I genuinely was like having
3948s	sniper in the game I don't know if you
3950s	saw it too dirty but the team overall
3953s	just looked more grouped together they
3954s	looked like they had a plan they didn't
3955s	look lost when they had to take these
3957s	re-engage that attack was a steamroll
3959s	they never hit the brakes even once
3961s	because there wasn't a reason to sniper
3962s	never saw that there was a point that
3964s	they needed to stop what they're doing
3965s	because the trainers just gave them so
3967s	much space to work with they sacrificed
3969s	a lot of that Mobility by changing up
3971s	their composition the life Weaver and
3974s	off of the symmetra and it really came
3976s	back to bite them in the end here and
3978s	especially when we look towards those
3980s	future map types where speed is the name
3982s	of the game AKA Flashpoint
3984s	this is not gonna be a good look for
3987s	them to continuously have if they want
3988s	to come out on top
3990s	and to just piggyback a bit off of what
3992s	you were talking about regarding the
3993s	Lucio gameplay I mean since the drop and
3995s	this is this shatter was ridiculous I
3997s	really was my heart goes out to you
3999s	Kindred that was just unfortunate but
4000s	when it comes to the Lucio gameplay
4002s	there really since the drop of OverWatch
4004s	2 has not been a lot of time where Lucio
4008s	was not a viable pick I mean yes you
4011s	could run the honor break compositions
4012s	over a Lucio Centric composition but if
4016s	you are strong on Lucio gameplay your
4018s	team can play around it on almost every
4019s	single one of these Maps Lucio's not
4021s	really been nerfed if anything he's
4023s	gotten some significant some decent
4025s	Buffs if you're a Lucio player and the
4027s	only thing is that tank passive that
4029s	makes the boops a little bit more
4030s	difficult that's sometimes annoying but
4031s	beyond that Lucio is a very strong main
4036s	support and if you have a comfortable
4037s	Lucio
4038s	honestly you should roll with it as
4040s	opposed to hey I Know The Enemy likes to
4042s	run Lucio but I'm not going to give my
4044s	team speed and I I think that is kind of
4047s	the main weakness of drainers here when
4049s	they know something isn't working they
4051s	switch their comp right I applaud them
4053s	for that if you if it's not working yeah
4055s	something you can't keep doing the same
4057s	thing and expect different results so
4059s	they changed their composition up but
4061s	they do it to an extent where it starts
4063s	to get really sloppy you can't throw
4065s	together these team plays because you're
4067s	just trying to figure out how you're
4068s	throwing these five Heroes together on
4070s	the battlefield and it really did start
4072s	to become a problem specifically on
4073s	their defense there was just no point of
4076s	stabilization once they lost that first
4077s	point and even arguably uh when they
4080s	were defending that first objective so
4081s	they started to lose that fire Senna was
4084s	losing that fire we didn't get to see
4086s	those pop-off plays again and I part of
4087s	that I yes she was on the symmetra so
4090s	you're not going to see it as much and
4092s	it's not a comfort hero for her it's not
4094s	something that she's specifically known
4095s	for outside of that hitscan range so
4097s	that you do have that working for you as
4099s	well and this whole map of New Bonnie
4101s	was just not it for drainers and I think
4103s	they knew that kind of heading into
4105s	today the amount of times they play
4106s	hybrid the amount of times they've lost
4108s	hybrid more specifically is just crazy
4110s	Flashpoint on the other hand this is
4112s	where they started to mount their
4113s	comeback against Washington time lapse
4115s	where they almost got to that reverse
4117s	sweep was starting on Flashpoint it was
4119s	I believe a 3-1 finish I want to say uh
4122s	when it all got set and done because of
4123s	that really strong momentum that they
4125s	had they can't read that forward they
4127s	had the wanting to be able to win and
4129s	had those that speed cooldowns really
4132s	working out for them you put Kindred on
4133s	that junker Queen they do great you take
4136s	Kindred off I start to have questions
4139s	well if I think if Washington Timeless
4141s	wants to close this out quickly and shut
4143s	the door on drainers as much as we love
4146s	seeing Sawhill I think possibly keeping
4148s	sniper in on that JQ and going into this
4151s	next map is honestly the better way to
4153s	go just because the cool the
4155s	anticipation of cooldown usage which
4156s	comes with time when you play with the
4157s	teammate and supports understanding
4159s	without having to like audibly
4161s	communicate to their tank or vice versa
4162s	tank to backline what they're looking or
4164s	wanting to do or when they're going to
4166s	be using specific cooldowns and the
4168s	habits that they produce with their
4169s	positioning having that type of synergy
4171s	between backline and front line and
4173s	being able to rotate to keep that Tempo
4175s	control going keep the momentum moving
4177s	forward was definitely apparent here on
4179s	new Bonnie and if they can carry that
4180s	over into Flashpoint
4182s	it it's going to be extremely difficult
4184s	for drainers to pull that one back in
4186s	their favor
4187s	and it's a very difficult situation to
4191s	get a read on here right because
4193s	drainers they still took away that first
4195s	map they know that they can beat
4196s	Washington Timeless but can they really
4200s	pull it together on these more
4201s	structured Maps Flashpoint arguably
4204s	is the most important map type when it
4206s	comes to decision making on Ultimate
4208s	usage are you even going to take a fight
4210s	for that matter at those points they
4211s	take up super fast and the response it
4213s	takes about 40 seconds at points to come
4216s	back if you end up going down so you
4218s	really need to be mindful of how when
4220s	and where you're taking these fights
4222s	which is something that Washington
4223s	Timeless are simply better at from what
4225s	we've seen so far drainers they thrive
4227s	in that chaos and if they're the
4229s	weaknesses are completely opposite of
4231s	each other the weakness of Timeless is
4233s	draener's strength and that's kind of
4235s	the the little push and pull this
4238s	balance skill that we've been playing
4239s	with throughout this whole match is when
4241s	one team is able to be decisive and the
4243s	other one feeds off of chaos and they
4245s	end up flipping it around well I
4248s	certainly do wonder who is going to win
4249s	who's going to be able to get their act
4251s	together and keep it that way for the
4252s	whole map to carry out that consistency
4255s	and that you bring up a very strong
4257s	point with how they feed off of each
4258s	other in in a not great way because
4260s	obviously they are opponents but when it
4263s	comes to these Flashpoint Maps you have
4265s	to there has to be a decisive call from
4266s	your tank based off of what abilities
4267s	you have what else you have and where
4269s	the next flash point is are you going to
4271s	try and catch the enemy in rotation or
4274s	are you just trying to beat them to the
4275s	point and lock it down and that Split
4278s	Second decision can lead to utter chaos
4281s	or it can lead to destruction of the
4284s	enemy team so if the drainers manage to
4286s	force the chaos to happen they can be
4289s	very successful catch the team and catch
4291s	Timeless in rotation and then claim the
4293s	objective that can work out in their
4295s	favor even if Timeless is like okay
4296s	we're gonna trap them at their spawn
4298s	real fast and catch them in rotation if
4299s	the chaos starts that is where the
4301s	drainers will start to get a foothold on
4303s	the fight
4304s	end up eliminating people and then
4305s	everyone's alive for them they just
4307s	start walking over to the objective and
4308s	you gotta keep in mind it's 108 meters
4310s	to walk it is a long it is a long
4313s	rotation from Spawn to the next
4315s	objective whereas if you're at the old
4317s	objective and everyone's alive and you
4319s	just walk there as a unit no one gets
4320s	eliminated it's a little bit easier to
4323s	get a foothold there we'll have to see
4324s	what the teams decide to do and also of
4327s	course I'm interested which tank is
4328s	going to stay in for the side of
4329s	Timeless and how that's going to impact
4331s	the overall play style of the Timeless
4333s	side of the map
4335s	I would also really like to see sniper
4337s	stay in here which does appear to be the
4340s	case there haven't been any
4341s	substitutions on the side of Washington
4344s	to high levels I can't say the same
4346s	thing for the other end we have a new
4348s	DPS making a appearance it will be yes
4351s	coming in on the flex so Genji is the
4355s	selection of choice which we've
4357s	typically seen mirrored from Bonus yes
4359s	still has the ability to kind of pull
4362s	this out and is going to be looking to
4363s	shut down these players to get into the
4365s	back line make their lives difficult
4367s	and Bun actually swatched back over to
4369s	the Genji just using symmetra to give a
4371s	TP to her team and then swapping Genji
4375s	dashing out pretty standard to either do
4377s	that with Genji or Tracer sometimes
4378s	Reapers do it we've got teams rotating
4380s	to get into position doing the Poke
4382s	fight phase and it looks like snozzler
4384s	very charged might be able to get a rail
4386s	shot in on a squishy delete them and as
4388s	I say it down goes chosen beautiful
4391s	beautiful Hedgehog coming in right there
4392s	and this is what we're talking about
4394s	snozzler has been the more consistent
4396s	hitscan DPS right now and getting that
4399s	advantage in there early allowing bun to
4401s	just shred through the remainder of the
4404s	Raiders getting those cleanups I mean
4406s	wow watching Timeless they're here to
4408s	play
4409s	and this time we had Kirito stay on
4412s	point to lock it down using Swift stuff
4414s	to reconvene with the rest of the
4416s	Timeless Squad and yeah you mentioned it
4420s	the DPS the hit scan snozzler on this
4424s	sojourn looks very confident and
4426s	comfortable this fight is going to still
4427s	be remaining relatively neutral as these
4430s	teams are trying to get their ultimates
4431s	up however Orion with this petico
4433s	theoretically can get Kitsune Rush here
4435s	and that can turn the tides completely
4437s	and send drainers all back to spawn if
4440s	if Orion pops it as soon as it's online
4443s	they're not they're not gonna have a
4445s	chance to pop at those
4447s	aggressive out of the sight lines of
4449s	their supports and trainers they're
4450s	gonna be able to snowball that one
4451s	Washington time was for two undevice
4453s	sizes whether they wanted to take the
4454s	fight or not sniper went in nobody was
4457s	there to follow up and trainers they're
4459s	gonna get that flip
4462s	and going into the next fight chosen as
4465s	well as Orient both with katsune Rush
4466s	Elaine and the Mahler again matching on
4469s	beat charge across the board things are
4471s	relatively equal this comes down to the
4473s	decisiveness plays that we mentioned
4474s	earlier who's going to create the
4476s	opportunity first and put their team in
4479s	the advantageous positioning rather than
4481s	giving up space as we have an early
4482s	deflect here's the katsune rush coming
4484s	out from chosen oh we wanted someone
4487s	from Orion first but trainers just took
4489s	the fight to Timeless and look how much
4491s	space that ended up buying them now they
4493s	can just feed back off and drainers
4495s	they're gonna be able to get through
4496s	that choking timeless
4498s	[Applause]
4500s	was the player to come up big it didn't
4502s	even have the opportunity chosen the
4504s	boys he denied no option given
4507s	Washington timelessly know if it's gonna
4508s	be the last fight they take on this
4510s	point and you're gonna convince all to
4511s	do it yeah
4514s	but doesn't end up getting it the rest
4516s	of the team so playing off of the damage
4518s	that space the labs was able to gain
4520s	them on the Genji and wow that was dicey
4524s	for them starting out they backed off so
4526s	far but came back in the end to take
4527s	Arena
4530s	and you mentioned I I also agreed for
4533s	like the instant that I was first popped
4535s	that gets tsune Rush coming out from
4537s	chosen first rather than Orient it made
4539s	sense in the moment that it could lock
4541s	down the lane that they were looking to
4543s	egress through but they didn't
4544s	capitalize on it as we saw the rest of
4546s	the and the rest of the side of
4548s	Washington Timeless back off but when
4550s	that continue Rush went down that was
4551s	the moment when Oreo needed to
4553s	immediately pop kitsuneres to counter
4555s	rush so to speak but give their team a
4557s	little bit of extra time with the
4559s	katsune rush to start cleaning up and
4560s	unfortunately that just did not happen I
4562s	don't know what the call was of course
4563s	we can't hear the comms but the
4565s	hesitation that existed in that instance
4567s	I do believe is what ended up being like
4569s	the bane of that entire fight and
4571s	ultimately losing them that that flash
4573s	point
4574s	it seriously came down to that Split
4576s	Second with hesitation
4578s	all that you needed right there was that
4580s	that pick and Orion hesitated for a
4582s	little too long and you ended up
4584s	allowing the team to see your opponents
4585s	to successfully Retreat and they had the
4587s	sight line on you you can't match you go
4589s	in their stasler attempting to buy this
4591s	space but receives a kunai to the Dome
4593s	and just Falls over backwards so you
4595s	don't have that ultimate to really help
4597s	power you and from there it all just
4599s	kind of crumbled and I think that's one
4601s	of the most challenging things about
4602s	Flashpoint specifically is mounting a
4605s	comeback when you commit all of these
4606s	resources to that first point such as
4608s	Arena it's very difficult to start
4610s	managing that once again because those
4612s	points take up at what I believe it's
4614s	1.8 percentage per second I love my
4616s	numbers don't mind me but at that one
4618s	point eight percent per second you're
4620s	looking at a fight that you need to take
4622s	so quickly you need to be decisive what
4623s	you do that these small seconds of
4625s	hesitations are gonna come back and bite
4627s	you and it puts Washington finals in a
4628s	situation where they don't have the
4630s	ultimate tier to come through all you
4632s	have is that Rampage which can easily be
4634s	counted out by a well-placed suzu and
4636s	drainers
4638s	this battle started out here onto the
4640s	Bob plant the initiation though from
4642s	sniper they did it first and they're
4644s	gonna do it better Washington Timeless
4645s	not far behind at all it's like they're
4647s	hearing us speak nerdy bird
4649s	I think that timeout from Washington
4651s	Timeless was a moment for them to
4653s	reconvene and be like hey what's going
4655s	on why aren't we trusting our own skill
4657s	here which is we mentioned the
4659s	hesitation and that is something that
4660s	when you're under pressure you're
4662s	looking to you know this is your this is
4663s	do or die if you lose out on this series
4665s	you're done for the rest of this minor
4668s	but these players have made it this far
4670s	they need to have confidence in their
4671s	gameplay if you think you should ult at
4673s	a certain time and it was discussed with
4674s	your team that you probably should as
4675s	well like that's the plan don't let that
4678s	hesitation a little voice in your head
4679s	stop you from doing it as we hear
4681s	overclock get popped from the side of
4684s	Santa
4685s	and rotating onto the back platform
4687s	eliminating snozzler it's not like you
4690s	had every opportunity there to get to
4692s	cover but you didn't you have to be
4694s	respecting Santa like that oh like that
4696s	is just Washington they got you
4698s	confident and they're still engaging
4699s	into this granted against some Ultimate
4702s	Tools out of the drainers which yes that
4704s	will be beneficial in the war they
4706s	arguably over committed into that with
4707s	both the katsune and the Rampage
4711s	I think they over committed they already
4713s	had the advantage snazzler got deleted
4715s	got called out by tiny at the same time
4718s	yes we do need to respect Senna I mean
4721s	if Santa's gonna respect you when you
4722s	click overclock and go into Los you
4725s	should also do the same because both of
4726s	you are very scary on these hit scans
4728s	and yeah I over commitment with those
4730s	ultimates we are encroaching in on last
4734s	fight here it made sense but because
4736s	they cleaned up so fast Washington times
4738s	can mount to come back
4740s	and they have the ultimates to be able
4741s	to do this but by him Falls really low
4743s	this Dragon Blade isn't going to
4747s	she's cannot oh but it's not always time
4750s	Revengers if you're the better Soldier
4752s	player here I'm sitting I'm waiting for
4754s	something to come up with the kill speed
4755s	but it simply is not present at least it
4757s	got the trainer's health bar relatively
4759s	drained and assuming they've managed to
4761s	get off the point there we go Washington
4762s	Timeless
4764s	I don't know about that sound barrier to
4766s	be totally honest with you I actually do
4768s	not like that sound barrier whatsoever
4771s	considering that there was no DBS online
4773s	for the side of Washington Timeless they
4775s	had to do something to equalize it more
4776s	in their favor so that sound barrier was
4778s	used Sniper got very low so it made
4779s	sense the only tragedy is now there's
4782s	two DBS ults coming online for the side
4783s	of the drainers that we have no beat nor
4786s	could scenarios to try and encounter and
4787s	have to heavily rely on sniper using
4790s	Rampage after they force out chosen suzu
4793s	that's what they have to look for here
4794s	they need to take an early fight force
4796s	chosen to be uncomfortable
4798s	assistant
4803s	across the objective on the junker Queen
4806s	I mean they've just been crazy on this
4809s	map beautiful specifically on bomb
4812s	plants here and wow that is just gonna
4813s	get them right back into congestion
4815s	that that was absolutely beautiful
4817s	perfectly well executed from sniper
4819s	sniper knew the assignment and said I'm
4821s	gonna get an A
4823s	that is exactly what sniper did I'll
4825s	give you a gold star
4827s	good noodle stars all around
4829s	[Laughter]
4831s	the question is
4833s	I do too but the question is here for
4835s	Washington time Liz are they going to be
4836s	successful in this next fight
4837s	considering they're going in at a
4839s	disadvantage of two ultimates almost
4841s	three with Kindred almost online with
4843s	the Rampage as well
4845s	it doesn't matter unless Senna has
4847s	anybody to shoot at which thankfully
4849s	trainers
4851s	they bought the space time was respected
4853s	the ultimate for the first time so zaxo
4855s	keeps them in the fight but he has out
4857s	ear scratches through these players like
4860s	fruit ninja right now and oh that is a
4862s	big pick to start this one off and
4864s	titles they just don't have that damage
4866s	to Rally behind in order to give up
4870s	both DPS faults from drainers used the
4873s	beat was expunged from the side of
4874s	Washington Timeless the previous fight
4875s	made sense they knew the opportunity
4877s	they took advantage they also staggered
4878s	them that's the important key here they
4880s	use Senate against space knowing that
4881s	Washington time was probably didn't want
4883s	to make the same mistake twice and Peak
4884s	an ulting sojourn and then we had Genji
4887s	follow up with the blade now Timeless
4889s	has the opportunity to do the exact same
4890s	thing but the issue is portals are
4892s	online for drainers and if they pop them
4894s	early it could be a little bit rough
4896s	because it could all be a bait and
4898s	switch coming out for Washington
4899s	Timeless now that katsuna Rush is
4900s	expunged and that's actually totally
4902s	fine especially with
4908s	them it looks like it was on the
4910s	backside based on where Santa was
4911s	positioning but you just can't let these
4913s	things happen oh
4917s	snakes were made they just have to be
4919s	cleaned up we do have b as well as
4922s	Rampage coming off from drainers and
4923s	they could combo those to make sure they
4925s	can push out of this doorway and just
4926s	force back Washington Timeless however
4928s	Washington Timeless is going to pop the
4929s	continue Rush early Force back and claim
4932s	a lot of space with snozzler using the
4934s	overclock
4935s	what perfect timing on that sound
4937s	barrier dude Elaine just give that
4938s	little extra bit of help just the
4940s	drainers as they're trying to fight this
4941s	one out but finds all the opportunity
4946s	they don't have the numbers here it's a
4949s	two of E4 and one that they are very
4951s	unlikely to come out on top of so as
4953s	cool as the shutdowns were the counter
4954s	play was present the Timeless are still
4957s	gonna have to say on this map
4960s	um I'm Gonna Keep it a buck though
4961s	Martian Timeless has to make up a lot of
4964s	percentage points and if they lose one
4965s	fight here and they have to survive
4967s	roughly two it's gonna be this point
4970s	going over towards team drainers now the
4972s	one thing I will point out is Lane used
4974s	that beat I thought it was going to get
4975s	Ajax I'm gonna be honest didn't get Ajax
4978s	sustained a little bit longer but now
4980s	doesn't have it and we have Rampage and
4982s	beat coming up online for Timeless and
4984s	if they spend both they could come out
4986s	on top of this next fight and close out
4987s	this this flash point
4989s	I
4990s	I do think right now the Timeless sniper
4992s	has been so much better than Kindred
4995s	when it comes to these ramp ages so
4997s	sniper just goes in early with this but
4999s	as soon as they see that then this is
5001s	done this is just done
5005s	a sniper catches three players and just
5007s	the three that you need Washington
5008s	titles they're so good about fading out
5010s	these key moments for them to find the
5013s	best success possible
5014s	it is honestly it comes down to when
5016s	you're fight planning knowing what the
5018s	enemy has what is their win condition
5019s	the back your mind you need to keep that
5021s	there as a support and one of the
5022s	biggest things anyone can do in
5024s	OverWatch it's not showing all your
5025s	cards in front of the enemy team so to
5026s	speak and that is not putting your team
5028s	like tell your team I don't want to use
5030s	suzu early do not let them Bunch up do
5032s	not let them all get axed tell them
5034s	don't Bunch up because that's exactly
5036s	what happened all of them token ax to
5039s	the face and chosen had no choice but to
5041s	drop the suzu opening the doorway for
5043s	Sniper to use that Rampage
5046s	and that's really gonna start to show
5048s	pyramids Raiders they have the ultimate
5050s	Advantage especially on a map like
5051s	Refinery you gotta shut this one down
5055s	this is just two powerful the fox just
5058s	said yep yep goodbye the rest of
5060s	drainage but Kindred still decided to
5062s	commit towards the tail and pick up a
5064s	triple kill all right this trip I see
5066s	you but you don't have the support to
5068s	keep yourself up in this fight as flashy
5070s	as it was I think she knows that this
5071s	one is good is over
5073s	the hero plays in organized competitive
5077s	play Hero plays do not typically work
5079s	out I understood why Kindred looked for
5082s	it it was theoretically just numbers
5084s	wise successful but to win the fight it
5086s	was not it ended up being a 2V1 and not
5088s	Lucio on top of JQ good luck trying to
5093s	kill that when you're our solo JQ
5096s	Honestly though it is as cool as JQ is
5099s	in terms of the way that she can sustain
5100s	herself
5102s	you just don't win in matchups like that
5104s	and losing that fight that's 15
5106s	basically on the board for tunnels right
5108s	now they're gonna make it more
5110s	friends dinosaur just took out her own
5112s	teammate oh that is gonna hurt one
5115s	roughly cursing them out right about now
5117s	and I don't believe them because
5119s	strainers they're essentially gonna get
5120s	this point for free
5122s	it happens to everybody
5124s	it's always like the okay who shot the
5126s	Genji or like wow I didn't know Genji
5129s	got such a huge Buff when did he get a
5131s	rail shot you kind of just gotta laugh
5133s	it off I'm doing this next fight
5136s	Timeless technically bite numbers have
5138s	an advantage with ultimates but it's a
5140s	matter of how they use them
5143s	had the advantage of one has not had a
5145s	good time on this Dragon Blade
5147s	especially you know that place is
5148s	chilling on top of that sound barrier
5150s	you're not really going to want to pull
5151s	that one out until you can get that up
5153s	of your own so I'm not even gonna
5155s	acknowledge Dragon Blade I want to look
5156s	at sniper's ultimate that Rampage has
5159s	won basically every fight that it has
5162s	been popped so if sniper can buy the
5164s	success on their ultimate I think this
5165s	can happen that does depend on bun
5167s	getting all of his cooldowns out the
5169s	dragonblade is just for show right now
5170s	getting set up is just a little cherry
5172s	on top you're still AB sniper to be able
5175s	to work with and you can just hold on to
5177s	it for next fight
5178s	not to mention the bun using blade was
5181s	most likely a bait to force out the
5184s	Lucio beat and hearing the Lucio beat go
5186s	off and
5187s	of course the knee-jerk reaction for
5189s	most Lucio's I'm gonna say this was
5190s	calculated though you typically want a
5192s	mirror beat about a second and a half
5194s	afterwards we exactly saw that happen
5195s	and now sniper even if suzu is used is
5200s	able to go in with Rampage will not have
5201s	to worry about a sound memory or keeping
5203s	the enemy team alive not at all right
5211s	does that damage out at this point if
5213s	this goes the way it's Timeless this is
5214s	game that is map number three going
5217s	their way and sniper already off to a
5218s	good start all the ultimates coming out
5220s	of drain as I can if he and not Gibson
5222s	Lane picking up one of these but
5224s	Timeless they're still on the points
5225s	miles Larson still on the point and
5226s	nobody can get there what a genius move
5229s	from Timeless to fight off of the
5230s	objective deny that space and the touch
5233s	at the end they are sitting on Match
5235s	Point they want that rematch against
5237s	Rift and they want it bad
5239s	they do and you mentioned it pulling
5241s	them off the point I mean Genji dove
5243s	into the back line said you know you're
5245s	low either you fight me here or I pinch
5248s	you off into my team if you touch the
5249s	point either way you are in Checkmate it
5253s	was very successful inside of Washington
5254s	Timeless congratulations to them and
5256s	moving on into our grand finals
5259s	I mean not just yet though they still
5261s	have another map to be able to play it
5263s	has to be my math is bad
5266s	you know what we use words right we use
5268s	words sometimes numbers just aren't it
5270s	you usually you're either a numbers or
5271s	words person I think we're kind of both
5273s	words people actually more of a numbers
5274s	person and words just kind of spill out
5276s	of my mouth and I hope I say something
5278s	that's semi I'll coherent and it ends up
5280s	working out 95 of the time but hey we'll
5283s	forget about that other five percent and
5284s	actually give ourselves a little bit of
5286s	break on those words and let you guys
5287s	enjoy some of the wonderful moments that
5289s	we've had throughout our Series so far
5291s	so we'll see you just in a little bit
5292s	map four is on the way
5300s	charge might be able to get a rail shot
5301s	in on a squishy delete them the more
5304s	consistent hitscan DPS right now and
5306s	getting that advantage in their early
5308s	allowing one to just shred it's too
5312s	aggressive out of the sight lines of
5313s	their supports and trainers they're
5315s	gonna be able to snowball that one
5316s	Washington Timeless or two and divide
5318s	sizes they take on this point and
5319s	they're gonna convince all to do it yeah
5324s	but does it end up getting it the rest
5326s	of the team so playing off of the damage
5328s	that though from sniper they did it
5329s	first and they're gonna do it better
5331s	Washington Timeless not far behind at
5333s	all it's like they're hearing us speak
5334s	nerdy bird
5336s	and rotating onto the back platform
5338s	eliminating into that with both the
5340s	katsune and the Rampage I'm sitting I'm
5343s	waiting for something to come up with
5344s	the kill speed but it simply is not
5346s	present they need to take an early fight
5347s	force chosen to be uncomfortable
5356s	yeah
5358s	scratches
5360s	there it is
5362s	a sniper catches three players and just
5365s	the three that you need Washington
5367s	titles they're so good about fading out
5369s	these Raiders they have the ultimate
5371s	Advantage especially on a map like
5373s	Refinery you gotta shut this window she
5375s	knows that this one is good is over
5402s	said you know you're low either you
5405s	fight me here or I pinch you off into my
5407s	team if you touch the point either way
5409s	you are in Checkmate it was very
5412s	successful inside of Washington timeless
5415s	wow what a third map that we just had
5418s	nerdy bird and I think that we got to
5420s	see this thoric map Washington Timeless
5422s	we're the favorite heading into this
5424s	series and that map of Flashpoint I
5426s	think was just a perfect display of why
5428s	we really thought that and we got to see
5430s	sniper that main Tank Hero at a lot of
5433s	points coming in being that shock hauler
5435s	being that in-game leader getting their
5437s	team up to this match point despite
5439s	going down in map number one they've
5441s	really started to regain their momentum
5443s	and put trainers in a tricky position
5444s	for mat4
5446s	while drainers are in a tricky position
5448s	I do agree with you my only fear is the
5452s	fact that we're going into a map in map
5455s	type in general and specifically the map
5457s	they have chosen
5458s	is a map that hit scans thrive on and I
5463s	mean you pointed her out we gotta talk
5465s	about her a little bit Senna on sojourn
5467s	one of a absolutely horrifying hit scan
5470s	to face up against one that you love to
5472s	cheer for when they pop off but if she
5475s	finds you know those opportunities and
5477s	she feels like she the confidence that
5479s	she needs to here to pop off it could be
5482s	extremely deadly and I'm just wondering
5484s	how much we're going to be having to see
5486s	a lot of bobbing and weaving and playing
5487s	around corners from both teams
5489s	considering how oppressive these hitscan
5491s	players can be and capitalizing on when
5494s	a player decides to Peak too early or
5496s	Peaks for too long it's ultimately going
5499s	to be a deciding factor for at least
5501s	claiming the bot for the first fight
5503s	yes and climbing the bar for the first
5506s	plight oh let me tell you if you have
5508s	not seen a competitive match on coliseo
5510s	you are in for a treat or well maybe not
5514s	a treat I hope you like watching the
5515s	Coliseum and watching it for about the
5517s	first five minutes of gameplay because
5518s	that is where we will be fighting this
5520s	robot specifically on this map is just
5524s	not a good first fight to win if you
5526s	come out on top you're taking another
5527s	one at the end of the Coliseum you go
5529s	back and forth for a while but you're
5530s	fighting in this exact same strip of
5532s	land and it takes these teams that come
5535s	out with the strong starts on any push
5537s	map you get that momentum in your favor
5539s	it is an easy ride through towards the
5541s	victory you'd have to seriously do
5543s	something wrong in order to lose after
5545s	getting that first checkpoint on coliseo
5547s	specifically so if Washington time must
5550s	come out blazing like they were in the
5552s	previous map then I they're in big
5555s	trouble if this could be it this could
5556s	be them going to the Grand finals right
5558s	now nerdy bird and drainers they need to
5560s	give me a reason to believe that they
5562s	can start that combat and I want it to
5564s	be Senna Senna was great on that first
5566s	map Senna was bid on the second and
5568s	third map I wanted to see Santa be great
5570s	again and I genuinely believe that this
5572s	map is meant for her
5576s	I feel like you're putting a lot of
5578s	pressure on Senna I have apologize onto
5582s	the path of the broadcast for the
5583s	pressure that you are feeling Senna but
5585s	with that being said Chinese 100 right
5587s	this long Corridor that we have to stay
5590s	no half the map will probably see this
5593s	long Corridor where the bot starts it is
5596s	so narrow it creates one sight line of
5598s	people don't take flank angles and the
5600s	other thing is object permanence I tend
5602s	to see some OverWatch players lose
5605s	if one side decides okay we're not gonna
5608s	win just the front line pressure you
5610s	know
5611s	the hide and seek sniper game Let's
5614s	actually start you know creating
5615s	opportunities for ourselves let's get
5617s	more mobility and go for these flank
5619s	angles pull attention away from the
5620s	front line and then start moving in as
5622s	that attention is being pulled oh no if
5624s	if one side recognizes there's someone
5627s	flanking and we see that they they
5629s	notice his players like coming around
5631s	the right side or is behind a corridor
5632s	and then they ignore it and then someone
5634s	gets killed I'm going to question the
5636s	object permanence of players all over
5639s	again because it seems to happen too
5640s	frequently in OverWatch on this map too
5643s	I mean there's so many little nooks and
5645s	crownies you could just chill in in the
5646s	Coliseum part and whoo that gets a
5649s	little messy and what else is gonna get
5651s	messy here is this Reinhardt I just
5654s	don't like it all right Kindred she's
5656s	great at rhyme that's not what's up for
5657s	question it's the actual hero selections
5660s	and when you're playing into the junker
5661s	queen of sniper and use the pressure
5663s	from snozzler and Bun like you just sit
5666s	there and take damage you don't do much
5668s	and it's a big problem for drainers when
5670s	they try to engage or if they engage but
5672s	the thing that they've changed here is
5674s	that they brought in yes on May and of
5677s	Walling off a JQ when there is no one
5680s	really that's able to then close that
5682s	distance and get over the wall you can
5683s	eviscerate the front line that comes out
5685s	from Washington Timeless but you have to
5687s	catch sniper in a bad position and
5690s	sniper plays to their own strength
5692s	sniper recognizes I'm going to be in a
5695s	bad spot if I do this and wait for the
5696s	opportunities where it's safe
5699s	speaking of waiting welcome to the
5702s	waiting room as I like to call coliseo
5703s	no we have started the map ladies and
5705s	gentlemen that is currently where we are
5707s	at we are we we are starting the map of
5709s	Coliseum nobody wants to make a move
5711s	it's been well over a minute at this
5713s	point and uh no final blows Kindred
5716s	hasn't gone in and heck we haven't seen
5718s	the same thing from sniper and we're
5720s	starting to get a little bit antsy out
5721s	here or at least I'm getting antsy I
5723s	want to see some action I don't want to
5724s	see these blows traded back and forth
5726s	there's not even any ultimates that are
5727s	close to coming online somebody has to
5729s	make the first move right now and right
5731s	and Sutton Osler wants to be that player
5733s	the immortality field is out and down
5735s	goes shows as great as they got
5737s	aggressive they walk in to sniper and
5739s	that was a big big mistake here you're
5742s	not gonna win that battle up close and
5744s	Timeless they're gonna come out on top
5745s	as a result
5746s	yeah just as we start getting a little
5749s	bit antsy I think inside a drainers did
5751s	as well and honestly
5754s	that was a big mistake that it is a game
5757s	of cat and mouse it's a game of chicken
5760s	you need to wait it out and you
5762s	mentioned it looks like we're just
5763s	passively waiting for olds to come
5764s	online and they it kind of is in that
5766s	long Corridor for most of the times that
5768s	I've seen coliseo on broadcast yeah you
5772s	just gotta do you know the Poke map but
5774s	unfortunately drainers don't really have
5776s	that poke without using ultimate no they
5780s	don't but the advantage is is you have
5781s	sent on The Bash and who does insane
5783s	amounts of damage output
5785s	great start because you take away that
5787s	Mobility tool the Mauler it's been a
5789s	huge part of timeless's ability to take
5791s	these fights and they suddenly are on
5793s	the back pedal here moving as far back
5795s	as they can but oh no it's not dark ends
5797s	up getting caught out and will be taken
5799s	down huge dagger pick from trainers and
5801s	there's bound to be more to come
5802s	especially when where you see this blue
5804s	stone Genji are located
5809s	riding to safety as most lucios do
5811s	giving their get people love and care we
5815s	hear Rampage sniper gets charged
5818s	beats wow that was just sniper no Citron
5823s	is done done with sniper right now and
5826s	yeah you shut down the tank but you
5828s	didn't shut down bun or sauce that was
5830s	four ultimates for Washington time let's
5832s	end three from the dreamers it was a
5834s	costly fight but that one extra mile
5836s	that you added with that Dragon Blade
5837s	put them over the top
5839s	yeah you have to pay it's it's coining
5842s	the ultimate you lose someone you pay it
5844s	all the enemy team holds you panel to
5846s	equalize and Timeless recognize and one
5848s	extra old was what it was needed but the
5851s	issue here is that we've got Senna now
5853s	dropping the artillery strike and we
5855s	lose snozzler before this full fight and
5857s	engage has even started
5859s	oh it's the second time snazzler's gone
5861s	down at first and drainers are really
5864s	capitalizing off that snozzler is very
5866s	gutsy when it comes to playing the DPS
5868s	they have confidence that they are
5869s	better which sure you can do that
5871s	sometimes but that doesn't mean set on
5872s	yabs are gonna punish you for it
5874s	you have to properly execute it and
5876s	execute it at the right times is what
5878s	we're saying here from broadcast
5881s	we do see shows an early engage with the
5884s	amplification Matrix
5886s	yeah for Matrix is out but the high
5889s	grounds is easily in control of
5890s	Washington Timeless and this is why we
5892s	are in the Coliseum for so long as you
5894s	can't sit on those icons forever and
5895s	just take a beating from above and stops
5898s	or get yourself through the robot that
5900s	is disgusting yeah exactly isn't happy
5903s	about that one neither is the rest of
5905s	their team gonna be a happy smiley
5906s	places The Shield only does so much
5908s	Kindred the rest of your team has to
5910s	reset
5911s	the tragedy of playing Reinhardt into
5914s	this JQ and into a a handful of other
5917s	tanks is when it is just you and someone
5919s	else your only option is to sit there
5920s	and hold shield and pray the heal
5922s	differential and the health differential
5924s	is enough that your other DPS comes out
5926s	on top of that 2V1 but you're bleeding
5929s	all over the place and your only source
5932s	of comfort is your Shield but it's
5933s	slowly breaking Kindred I just want to
5935s	see that JQ mirror match up again
5938s	you did the Reinhard isn't it it really
5940s	is not it and Kendrick is forcing it so
5942s	hard and their team is taking a beating
5945s	and just getting walked on as a result
5946s	they don't have the ultimates to really
5948s	Temple this dragonblade button should
5950s	know that heading in and has to be
5952s	careful of how they're playing out I
5953s	mean to support pouring in for Sniper is
5955s	unmatched because Kendrick just requires
5957s	so much of more of it because of the
5959s	heroes that they're playing and it's
5961s	just Timeless they have the better comp
5962s	here and drainers are struggling to
5965s	catch up because of it
5967s	shatter goes down though picks up
5970s	it's something for drainers I mean this
5973s	is a staggered out fight it buys time
5974s	off the clock which with Washington
5976s	Timeless currently in that lead those
5977s	about what is that I okay never mind I'm
5980s	not a numbers person about there are 18
5981s	meters here that we're looking at nope
5983s	not even close but we're gonna leave it
5984s	at that the Timeless have over the heads
5987s	of drainers
5989s	they also were extremely close to
5991s	getting that checkpoint and when that
5992s	chowder went down from Kindred two
5994s	dropped the bun also picked up two out
5997s	of our line of sight so it equalized it
6000s	just happened to be that bun and the
6002s	Mueller decided hey we're in a 2v3 they
6004s	have close response let's back off works
6007s	out now they actually have that High
6008s	Ground positioning and have the
6009s	opportunity to create an advantage we
6010s	hear ant Matrix early from chosen
6013s	edit Matrix is really early but it
6015s	doesn't save the player at all and
6017s	there's no support remaining and the
6019s	nice thing about it is Washington Thomas
6020s	they don't have to invest anything into
6023s	this fight at all and that is going to
6025s	hurt drainer's ultimate economy as it
6027s	continues to progress
6029s	only issue like yes ulting first is fine
6032s	ulting early to hit or miss the issue is
6034s	the positioning of that amp Matrix it
6036s	was on the left side High Ground almost
6038s	flat to where Timeless was positioned
6040s	and to get value from that you want to
6043s	have one or two people of your team in
6045s	front of you and the enemies you double
6048s	down on damage and healing and it just
6049s	was not there for chosen no and this is
6052s	why the dreams they need to take an
6053s	advantage here pick a snowboard guess
6055s	what is in your back line fire away with
6057s	this overclock why would trainers they
6059s	just let The High Ground go over to
6061s	Washington timeless's DPS and that is
6063s	what happened in Washington title they
6065s	had the positioning they had the height
6067s	and trainers could do nothing about it
6072s	right now I'm watching Timeless getting
6074s	very close to the first checkpoint we
6077s	are now at the sub three minute Mark
6079s	which means we're halfway through no
6080s	checkpoints claimed there's amp Matrix
6083s	to keep our front line alive for Sniper
6086s	and unfortunately drainer's just forced
6088s	to back up yeah
6090s	they pack up but they give up that point
6092s	and like I said before you lose the
6095s	point on coliseo map you are now favored
6097s	80 in favor of that forward team of
6101s	coming out on top right now and only two
6102s	minutes to turn this around this is not
6104s	an easy attack for trainers they have to
6106s	do something to start turning the tides
6108s	and it's a dragon blade from Santa just
6110s	to grab one a hero I don't see her on
6113s	too often at all and even if they have
6115s	control of the robots they don't have
6117s	control of the fight at all dirty bird
6120s	they don't and it's it's a balancing act
6122s	a very fine one to decide what you want
6125s	to do and right now Lucio has decided to
6127s	take the bot on a journey at least try
6129s	to get it to the halfway point get rid
6130s	of those forward spawns it lasts for a
6132s	little bit will give drainers some time
6134s	here to reconvene get closer but I they
6138s	did not get rid of those full response
6139s	and that is what's going to play in
6141s	favor of Washington Timeless right now
6142s	especially they have Genji blade but
6144s	chosen has amp so maybe maybe they'll
6148s	delete fun in this Blade with the amp
6150s	Matrix we'll have to see I don't know if
6152s	you want to say that but because bun has
6153s	been deleted several times by chosen
6155s	specifically when this Dragon Blade has
6157s	been popped so not the best track record
6159s	going with Fords with this ultimate I
6161s	mean you have to combo it up with
6162s	snozzar here just to try to get some of
6164s	this chip damage the image is used
6166s	defensively as a zoning tool as a matter
6168s	of fact and you need to be careful
6170s	without their bling I mean that's the
6172s	aggression that starzar has I dare say
6174s	an ego that there's just the confidence
6176s	that saslar is able to play with here to
6178s	bait the players back into their
6180s	position yeah they trade out their life
6182s	for it they get strainers away from the
6184s	robot they can't make that progress and
6185s	with a minute remaining they have a
6187s	mountain to climb
6189s	it's not impossible we've seen teams
6192s	overcome these herculin tasks before in
6196s	the soft reset here that takes some
6198s	discipline and understanding of where
6200s	the enemy team is at and if you have the
6201s	advantage enough to do so the issue
6204s	again I gotta point out snazzler on this
6206s	High Ground there is nothing that can be
6208s	done against nazlar without giving up
6210s	well honestly putting yourself in a bad
6212s	position unless Senna can get some nice
6215s	damage from the low ground having
6216s	swapped over to capacity
6218s	that's all you can do at this time and
6220s	you can't Peak the high grounds Ryan's
6222s	got a nice little ant Matrix up there
6224s	and unless you want a first class ticket
6225s	back to spawn you better be keeping your
6228s	heads protected down under the cover of
6229s	the Coliseum and this robot's not gonna
6231s	move its last final fight here and the
6233s	sniper has the win condition everybody
6236s	hit with that ultimate lean South area
6238s	only does so much here but sniper walked
6241s	back into the blizzard needs to be
6242s	careful of how they play moving forward
6244s	support traded out both for blowing
6246s	Washington Timeless they are the ones in
6248s	the Jewel of the robot in control of the
6251s	series they want that rematch and they
6253s	are gonna go ahead and get it it is the
6256s	Washington Timeless team moving on to
6259s	the Grand finals
6264s	okay so we know Timeless has made it
6266s	forward but we do have to focus on
6267s	drainers a little bit here and give them
6268s	some props and kudos
6270s	okay after we see snazzlers play the
6272s	game we'll see this first watch watch
6274s	the moment yeah I'm not this is kind of
6276s	what I figured would be the play of the
6278s	game
6279s	nicely done well executed controlling
6282s	High grounds definitely a strong point
6284s	especially on coliseo got to make sure
6286s	you understand positioning but drainers
6288s	you made it really far you did well you
6291s	get you're still you still are gonna
6293s	walk away with a little bit of money
6294s	some circuit points and knowing in your
6297s	like that you made it this far just
6299s	means that next time you can go even
6300s	farther you have a benchmark now it just
6302s	got to keep improving the end of the day
6304s	there was just a slight just you know
6307s	Timeless had one thing that they
6308s	executed differently than you did and
6310s	unfortunately as much as we dogged on it
6313s	I think it really did come down to
6314s	compositions and setting them up early
6316s	and understanding win conditions for
6317s	those comps and hopefully next time they
6320s	fit rectify the situation and come out
6321s	even stronger
6324s	this is what you bring up and drainers
6325s	there are a bunch of experienced
6327s	competitors here I mean they know what
6329s	they're doing they know how to play the
6330s	game that isn't the question it was more
6332s	it kind of came down to is forcing this
6335s	Reinhardt I mean Kindred was just
6337s	getting beaten up out there and you can
6340s	have the best support players in the
6342s	world to try to keep this ride hard up
6344s	and going and it just does not work out
6346s	into players like sniper like snozzler
6348s	that are continuously applying that
6350s	pressure and Timeless in the end they
6352s	have a clear idea of how to play in this
6355s	matter of what to play in this meta and
6357s	that is going to get them that Victory
6358s	three and one over the drainers and it
6361s	sets such a confident tone too heading
6363s	into that grand finals especially
6364s	knowing how their last meeting with the
6366s	Valiant Guardians ended up going
6369s	well hopefully they come hungry both
6371s	teams better come hungry for victory
6373s	because we need to see everyone pull out
6375s	every stop I want to see almost
6378s	borderline I know this is putting a lot
6379s	of pressure on people and it's not gonna
6381s	happen but imagine almost a perfect
6383s	gameplay coming out from these teams
6384s	minimal mistakes I mean Timeless they
6387s	goofed up sometimes but they they pulled
6389s	through they got it together especially
6390s	after that pause when they lost first
6393s	point on on new junk City you can see
6396s	the gear started firing Greece was there
6398s	they were all ready to go and locked in
6400s	and focused on getting that Victory we
6402s	just need to see that carry over the one
6404s	thing is yeah you're warmed up but are
6405s	you gonna get tired now as we go into
6407s	the next best of five because oh yeah
6409s	unfortunately for them uh being warm but
6412s	having to play almost a full five game
6414s	series can be a little bit of a
6415s	disadvantage because you do get a little
6416s	bit gassed
6418s	certainly do and I mean Washington
6420s	Timeless they'll have a little bit of
6422s	time that's kind of funny to be able to
6424s	just reevaluate go over that last series
6427s	what worked what didn't and how can they
6429s	push that forwards I mean trainers
6431s	they're not a bad team but Valiant
6432s	Gardens that is a whole nother Beast
6435s	that you have to worry about conquering
6437s	and in that amount of time we actually
6439s	get a little bit of insight on that
6440s	which is arguably one of my favorite
6441s	parts of the broadcast of talking to a
6443s	player from the Washington Timeless team
6445s	so we're gonna go ahead get an interview
6447s	set up for you and see you back here in
6449s	just a couple of minutes

6581s	wrapped up our losers finals and
6583s	Washington Timeless have booked their
6585s	ticket into the Grands facing up against
6588s	the Valiant Gardens quite a task ahead
6591s	of them to be able to come away with a
6593s	championship before we get there we have
6595s	the lovely opportunity to hear from one
6597s	of the coaches for the Washington
6598s	Timeless team infected a well-known
6600s	player within the community as well and
6603s	having to coach such a team for a really
6606s	stacked one as a matter of fact four
6607s	Washington Timeless heading into the
6609s	colonial Heroes minor I really want to
6610s	know uh just kind of how what are The
6612s	Vibes right now what were really the
6613s	expectations heading into this match
6616s	I mean we expected to win like we always
6619s	do because we're we're the damn goats
6622s	um
6623s	yeah I don't I don't know I mean we had
6626s	a good warm-up everyone was chill we're
6628s	all still chill now
6629s	uh I mean we got to be happy that we won
6631s	I hope we are
6633s	and we're gonna win the whole thing
6635s	because we're awesome oh all right yeah
6639s	okay so coming in with such confidence
6642s	is great but then I I have to ask if
6644s	you're so confident that Eugene's gonna
6646s	win what the heck happened on control
6649s	Point Elios you guys did great on well
6652s	and then things just started to fall
6653s	apart and you even mentioned before we
6655s	started this interview you have your
6657s	team warm up so were they just was it
6660s	were they not locked in for control or
6662s	does control just kind of your guys's
6663s	weak point
6664s	yeah so I'm pretty sure that they chose
6666s	map and we just didn't practice ilio so
6669s	I mean we'll just give them a free map
6670s	I'm fine with that as long as we just
6672s	win the others which we did
6674s	it was close we did we like I don't
6676s	think we've ever played it so that's
6677s	fine
6679s	wow yeah
6680s	okay I mean they're good they're I mean
6682s	Kendrick's awesome I love Kindred
6683s	they're awesome I think we all love
6686s	Kindred if you don't like Kindred then I
6688s	don't like you that's that's kind of how
6689s	it goes so everyone's a kindred fan out
6692s	here and I think we're all Washington
6693s	time will spends at this point you guys
6695s	taking on The Undefeated Valiant Garden
6698s	Guardians right now heading into the
6700s	grand finals you played them once
6701s	yesterday knocked it down to the losers
6704s	3-1 I mean you kind of got to see how
6706s	they played before and you know was
6708s	there any preparations that have gone
6710s	into place for this match I mean
6712s	obviously assuming you expected to be
6713s	there
6714s	yeah I mean we always expected to be
6716s	here I I think the preparations uh we're
6718s	just going to take into it is just
6719s	figure out what mistakes we had when we
6721s	lost against them and just fix them and
6724s	just play better than we did I mean I I
6726s	trust my team to absolutely demolish
6728s	them in Grand finals so
6730s	all right that is some confidence coming
6734s	up from the coach of Washington Timeless
6735s	and I really hope that your team is here
6737s	to witness this as well to know that you
6740s	have the faith in them that you believe
6741s	that they have that skill to take down
6743s	the Valiant Guardians and those Maps
6745s	they were close I can totally see it
6747s	happening too and and we're just gonna
6749s	have to go ahead wait and see I'm sure
6751s	you have a couple words for your team
6752s	before they get ready for that grand
6753s	finals match so in fact it was great to
6755s	have you here on the broadcast with us
6757s	just to get a little bit of insight
6758s	what's going on behind the scenes we're
6760s	going to let you go get back to your
6761s	team get that coaching done and set
6764s	because we have a grand finals match
6765s	ahead be sure to stick around because
6768s	the championship of it all is coming up

7079s	this is it this is the moment where a
7082s	champion is going to be ground for the
7084s	calling all heroes unite minor two nerdy
7088s	bird we have seen teams pop off we've
7090s	seen teams get dumped back off in to
7093s	those lower brackets and have gotten
7095s	down to the final two squads here today
7098s	Washington Times will be taking on The
7100s	Undefeated Valiant Guardians right now
7104s	this is the matchup that I think we all
7106s	anticipated heading into the latter
7108s	parts of this bracket and I am so glad
7110s	that we get to see it here on broadcast
7112s	I mean I'm excited and in honesty I'm
7115s	I'm with you on most of us anticipated
7117s	this and you're a numbers person if you
7119s	just solely looked at the numbers you
7121s	would anticipate this at least probably
7123s	by day two of our Swiss rounds that this
7125s	was most likely going to be the final
7127s	match-up but yet we're gonna lay into
7130s	the fact that we do have the Valiant
7132s	Guardians as undefeated but if you are
7134s	the players for Washington Timeless or
7136s	the players for the Valiant Guardians
7138s	right now you cannot let that get in
7140s	your head if you get too confident in
7142s	yourself and you get too cocky and you
7144s	get punished that becomes a problem if
7146s	you let the fear of the fact that this
7148s	team has defeated you once and they
7149s	could do it again overcome your
7151s	confidence that can spell disaster for
7153s	your team as well so you just got to
7154s	focus up focus on the challenge in front
7156s	of you and right now that is taking it
7158s	fight by fight to come out on top of
7159s	these maps that we're going to be I
7161s	believe we mentioned the that was
7163s	mentioned that they are doing more of a
7164s	draft for the maps but I'm not positive
7166s	on that but either way I want to see
7168s	Washington Timeless at least in this
7170s	Grand Final be more successful out of
7173s	control and hopefully not go ilios first
7175s	after what infected told us oh but
7178s	that's the funny thing about that is how
7180s	is Washington timeless's map pick to be
7183s	told please I mean they don't have the
7185s	map pick here the higher seed is the
7187s	Valiant Gardens because they came in
7189s	undefeated through uh that Swiss stage
7191s	and we'll get a look here at that
7192s	bracket how dominant that they've
7194s	managed to be look at that 203 oh the
7196s	only team that has managed to take the
7198s	map off of them in the two different
7199s	occasions they have met has been
7201s	Washington Timeless they have two maps
7202s	total off of them any time that they
7205s	have played and yes I see a 3-1
7207s	scrolling you're like okay maybe
7208s	Washington Timeless was really good in
7209s	one spot but then the valley were just
7210s	better than the other no that was not
7212s	the case at all every single one of
7215s	those four Maps was down to the wire it
7217s	would hit overtime they were so close
7219s	anytime that these two teams met and the
7222s	one thing that we gotta have to mention
7223s	here is Washington Timeless they're in
7225s	for the Revenge game right now they made
7228s	the gods bleed here they took that map
7231s	off no one else has been able to
7232s	accomplish it and here they are again
7233s	meeting for the third time in this minor
7236s	two circuit which really just puts
7238s	everything out for them laid as a red
7241s	carpet essentially for them to walk down
7243s	meet the opponents waiting for them to
7244s	the end
7245s	okay so I know that we always call you
7248s	know the lower bracket but in situations
7250s	like this this is why I typically like
7253s	to refer to it as the Redemption bracket
7255s	because right now Washington Timeless
7258s	has been on their Redemption Arc this is
7260s	their opportunity to come back and
7262s	actually topple the Giants their Goliath
7265s	so to speak that is the Valiant
7266s	Guardians the question is will they be
7268s	able to do that will they be able to
7269s	execute everything that they want to in
7270s	these Maps or is the value just going to
7272s	keep doing what they've been doing and
7274s	staying you know
7276s	on The High Ground so to speak and
7278s	walking through these games as though
7279s	it's nothing yes yes we can talk about
7282s	like what they're doing is nothing but
7283s	of course when you're actually playing
7285s	it's a lot harder to do it's easier said
7288s	than done as our parents would like to
7289s	tell us at the end of the day it's going
7291s	to come down to skill trust and faith in
7294s	your teammates and understanding when
7296s	conditions playing to your advantages
7298s	and keeping those advantages regardless
7300s	who comes out on top the ones that
7301s	execute that the best are going to be
7303s	victorious
7304s	and I think that compared to our last
7306s	series Washington Timeless we're the
7308s	team that we recognized that okay when
7310s	sniper is in all the tank which I am
7312s	very glad that they are returning in for
7314s	this first control map there is some
7317s	serious cohesion that ends up happening
7318s	between all five members of this roster
7321s	and that is the reason they take these
7323s	maps to the distance they make them
7325s	close because they're able to play
7326s	together they have those Communications
7328s	that are just laid out in place you can
7329s	see them just unfolding in front of you
7331s	and it's so beautiful to be able to see
7333s	that the time that Timeless with the
7335s	coaches that they have with the in-game
7337s	leaders uh that they have their access
7339s	to that they use all of those resources
7341s	and put them out to their advantage but
7343s	that isn't to say that the Valiant
7344s	Gardens Guardians do the exact same
7346s	thing and you can't say if not better if
7350s	the pass has told us anything with their
7351s	current record
7352s	yeah and when we spoke to Valiant
7355s	Guardians on day one moving fish came in
7358s	very similar style to infected and just
7360s	said you know I know I trust my team I
7363s	know we're gonna win every map we went
7365s	into I had the confidence in my
7367s	teammates that I needed to and you know
7370s	ultimately it's been working the
7372s	confidence played dropping that trap
7373s	card down and just being like go for it
7375s	be ready for what I'll pull out
7376s	afterwards type deal has been working
7378s	for them now the question is is has
7381s	Timeless made enough adjustments to you
7384s	know counter the play that's coming out
7385s	from the Valiant Guardians because based
7387s	off of Just compositions alone favored
7389s	picks both these teams do actually favor
7391s	very similar Heroes very similar
7393s	matchups and if you're playing the
7394s	mirror comp it really comes down to
7397s	capitalizing on mistakes and that means
7398s	if you want to do that you'll need to
7400s	play Borderline perfectly
7402s	that's something that I think Washington
7405s	Timeless that last series they did end
7407s	up winning but I don't think that those
7409s	were the best maps that I've seen them
7411s	play this tournament to be totally
7412s	honest with you some of those Maps were
7414s	played against the Valiant Guardians and
7416s	those four maps that just occurred serve
7419s	as a warm-up for this series they are
7421s	being put at n's limit here to have the
7423s	mental capacity and rather almost sanity
7426s	to a point to continue to put out this
7428s	high level of competitive play which
7430s	easy easily more said than done and you
7434s	just can't acknowledge that enough and
7436s	the the way that Timeless have all of
7439s	this laid out in front of them where
7440s	they have they're easily The Underdogs
7442s	coming into the series right and Valiant
7443s	Guardians they're the team to beat they
7446s	have been this entire time and no matter
7448s	how many times we touch on it Timeless
7449s	they hear it they know that we say it
7451s	and it's just more fuel to the fire that
7454s	they want to prove everybody wrong that
7456s	they can be that team to take down the
7457s	Titans
7458s	I mean despite the stumbles that we saw
7460s	in the series before this coming out
7462s	from Timeless they definitely cleaned up
7464s	and demonstrated that they are hungry
7466s	for this opportunity to go against the
7467s	Valiant Guardians they have this
7468s	opportunity now but the question all
7470s	comes down to who is actually going to
7472s	prove themselves in this moment and walk
7474s	away with that first place position or
7475s	the second place end of the day getting
7477s	first or second no shame whatsoever but
7481s	everyone has that instance of you know
7482s	the silver medal syndrome of I didn't
7484s	get first therefore I was not successful
7487s	at the end of the day hopefully they
7488s	recognize regardless of the outcome
7490s	being in this spot in this position
7493s	alone demonstrates the skill and prowess
7496s	and respect that all these players
7498s	deserve and hopefully they play Not only
7500s	to be successful but they play to have
7501s	fun and walk away knowing that they
7503s	tried their best by the time this entire
7505s	series wraps up
7506s	the bar of competition it's way up here
7508s	it's probably way up there but I'm short
7510s	I can't reach it quite yet and these
7512s	players they can't they're able to play
7515s	to that they stretch themselves two new
7517s	heights just to try to match what their
7519s	opponent is doing and you know this
7521s	really is going to be a test for
7522s	Washington Timeless as well control has
7524s	been their weak point so far uh in any
7527s	game that we've seen them and of course
7529s	that's where we end up starting it's not
7530s	their Mac pick and it's not Elias so
7533s	maybe maybe they have a chance coming
7536s	into this one and it does kind of leave
7538s	me optimistic seeing sniper uh being on
7541s	that starting roster card makes me think
7543s	that if you have this extra level of
7545s	columns coming in I think that they can
7548s	be able to pull this one up the one
7549s	thing that sniper sacrifices compared to
7550s	Saul Hill is Saul Hill is just
7553s	straightforwards walked in there's no
7556s	turning back and either that plays out
7558s	super well for the team or it leaves
7560s	everybody else in the dust and they just
7563s	get walked on so there's very there's
7565s	two very contrasting styles that we end
7567s	up uh seeing just in terms of those tank
7569s	plays which I actually do confirm Saul
7571s	Hill will be in for the map of Oasis
7574s	which I really I need to keep an eye on
7576s	what they are doing and how they're
7578s	playing the tank ideally that junker
7579s	Queen in terms of the positioning
7582s	hopefully Sawhill is still warm because
7585s	we did see Sawhill during the previous
7587s	series on control and then was subbed
7588s	out and you mentioned it Sawhill is a
7591s	very much so I am your front line and I
7594s	am giving you the space you need
7597s	undeterred by anything thrown at the JQ
7602s	it's crazy it's scary it also gives
7604s	supports heart attacks but we'll have to
7606s	see how well this works out as we drop
7609s	down those spawn doors
7611s	I mean hey thankfully for Saul Hill
7613s	control is a map type where you can just
7615s	go hey I'm gonna make space team you can
7618s	take it or you can leave it I'm gonna
7620s	take space and especially on control you
7622s	look at this mega pack by the bounce pad
7624s	on City Center
7626s	this is where you need to take the space
7628s	you need to have control of that Health
7629s	area ideally control of that High Ground
7631s	which is timeless they cannot get up to
7633s	they're getting beaten back just a
7635s	little bit but Sawhill that's what I'm
7637s	seeing the over extension doesn't have
7638s	the proper support because each key is
7640s	just slicing and dicing starts it off
7641s	with a quad kid they give them the ace
7645s	let's go ahead and see come on give it
7647s	to her no moving fish that's just mean
7650s	that was a little bit mean
7654s	it's just like in valorant you know it's
7656s	like who stole my Ace you laugh it off
7658s	you keep going you respects though I
7661s	cannot believe again you got that much
7662s	value first fight but also on Genji
7664s	picked up too which wasn't enough
7666s	because we engaged here just fight
7667s	number two already on point Valiant
7669s	Guardian backed up gave up an immense
7671s	amount of space over to Washington
7672s	timeless and they're okay with that
7675s	they're waiting for those cooldowns to
7676s	be expended so that they can take the
7677s	more favorable fight at the end there it
7679s	is commanding shout on Ford's moving
7681s	fish sees that little window of
7683s	vulnerability doesn't get the
7685s	capitalization off it though the one
7686s	thing that balance Guardians have here
7688s	is that Superior ultimate economy we
7690s	look at moving fish it's significantly
7692s	ahead of where saw Hill currently stands
7694s	in terms of that Rampage along with
7696s	other areas the longer this goes the
7698s	better it is for the Guardians and they
7700s	want to close it out quickly and they're
7701s	gonna have to especially not having a
7703s	tank to be in front beating you in and
7706s	oh that really gets all Hill an
7708s	ultimatum of whether they want to push
7710s	into that consuming Retros they ended up
7711s	not doing so more percentage going the
7713s	way of valiant Gardens is enough time
7715s	for their tank to get back Timeless took
7717s	too long but shutting down the bravicum
7718s	blades gets them those precious seconds
7720s	just back it's an expensive battle on
7723s	both sides and arguably Valiant
7725s	Guardians here they've managed to
7727s	regroup and they can still poke and
7728s	fraud from the ins and outs of this
7731s	objective and CeCe saw Hill getting
7732s	vulnerable has to back away and 70 work
7735s	nearing that final fight territory and
7737s	Timeless for yet to make a decision it
7739s	has to be now in order to do it but the
7741s	Rampage created back and forth to the
7744s	sound barriers out at stall Hill with
7746s	the later one doesn't get much yes it
7748s	does finals took so long to win that
7751s	fight Valiant Guardian is able to get it
7752s	to a one battle territory to turn it
7755s	around
7757s	the thing about both of these
7759s	compositions is yeah well Genji is the
7762s	squishiest just because of the way
7764s	gendu's kit works the name of the game
7767s	is the opportunity to sustain and play
7770s	for the long fight and you just saw that
7772s	like oh yeah losing your front line most
7774s	teams are like we gotta back off however
7776s	Valiant said no we're not backing off I
7779s	am going to equalize using an old they
7781s	did that then they pulled out another
7783s	way
7784s	unfortunately by HP and HP is then going
7787s	to go in and pick up two more on top of
7789s	that with the assist removing division
7791s	but
7792s	the sustain that these comps allow for
7794s	means you need to punish the bad
7797s	positioning very quickly and
7798s	unfortunately saw Hill it's gonna have
7800s	to swap over to the doomfist to even
7801s	have a glimmer of hope to get onto this
7803s	point and set this side we're watching
7805s	Timeless up for success I mean how much
7807s	hope do you have winning a half Accent
7810s	on The High Ground hkr the point it was
7812s	just killing everything Washington
7814s	Timeless are falling one by one to
7817s	hkey's hit list that they have on the
7819s	schedule I mean she is carrying this
7821s	Viper the Valiant Gardens and that is
7823s	saying something with the amount of
7825s	Talent on that roster Washington
7826s	Timeless did not stand a chance with how
7829s	good hkey looked on City Center
7833s	I mean when a Genji out the gate in
7836s	neutral fight
7837s	we're we're going to ignore moving fish
7839s	stealing the last kill and say that H
7841s	key got it getting a 5K
7844s	you know something needs to change
7846s	adjustments need to be made and
7848s	unfortunately the adjustments came too
7850s	late the mirror match up if the Genji is
7852s	that oppressive you have to make it you
7855s	have to change things around that fact
7857s	and unfortunately the way it worked out
7860s	was there was a old disparity you even
7862s	pointed out the JQ old disparity of over
7864s	30 percent that Rampage opens up the
7867s	doorway for so much sustainability and
7870s	just absolute demolishing and
7872s	steamrolling of the enemy team when they
7873s	get anti
7875s	this could be a recurring thing too I
7877s	mean you need to have the speed that
7878s	initiated power and Valiant Guardians
7881s	the HP is just starting up to a lesson
7885s	right now and look where she's
7886s	positioned right now she has no fear she
7888s	knows that Timeless have been unable to
7890s	counter her so far so she gets
7892s	aggressive she gets her tank in a spot
7894s	to capitalize on it Timeless they
7897s	ignores dazzler though and that is a big
7899s	big mistake which they are certainly
7901s	paying for right now and salsar as we
7903s	saw from our last series has just the
7905s	ability to go Burr on the soldier
7908s	picking up a triple kill this is a
7909s	comeback from timeless
7911s	fabulous adjustment made by Timeless was
7913s	to stop looking at the front line stop
7916s	allowing this JQ to give value simply by
7918s	pulling our attention let's look at the
7920s	Squishies engage a little bit slower
7922s	Force cooldowns then go out for them
7923s	they manage to get hkey X10 right away
7926s	and then followed up on Halo now they
7928s	have Valiant Guardians on the back Point
7931s	split because they gave up so much space
7933s	if they gave up the space and like you
7935s	let X10 have that angle and you cannot
7938s	let X10 have that angle Washington
7940s	Timeless I don't really know what else
7942s	to tell you other than that if you give
7943s	Valiant Guardians any room to work
7945s	they're gonna make you pay for it
7947s	it's uh If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
7949s	button OverWatch so to speak
7951s	you get greedy it's playing to the
7954s	advantage if you're going to serve up to
7956s	a team the space without a plan to make
7958s	a trap you're gonna get punished that's
7961s	what we see happening
7963s	all cooldowns trying to force moving
7966s	fish on the back foot and it does not
7968s	work out however DPS come in make using
7972s	that space
7973s	I love that play that we just saw the
7975s	Valiant Guardians were split they sent
7977s	snozzler and Bun off to The High Ground
7979s	to deal with the DPS left stall Hill on
7982s	the low ground to deal with the tank and
7983s	that's what Focus caused the DPS players
7985s	their lives and they got the point as a
7987s	result
7989s	going into this next flight both
7991s	Rampages were are online DPS holds a
7995s	little bit favoring side of watching
7997s	Timeless depending on how long this
7998s	engage takes what's really going to be
8000s	the deciding factor I believe is going
8002s	to be the portal engaging and the
8004s	counter Kitsune Rush on both sides we
8007s	are equal who is going to pay the extra
8009s	mile to come out on top of this fight it
8011s	looks right now like it's snozzler with
8012s	that overclock so far certainly invested
8015s	the extra mile in Washington titles they
8016s	sell plenty of tools in the bank to work
8018s	with and like you mentioned these sound
8019s	barriers are gonna be the deciding
8021s	factor here do you use it to counter
8022s	that dragon blade or to use it to help
8024s	with the Rampage and it's a big decision
8026s	to make for both the baller and Kayla
8028s	it's gonna be the one to divide this
8030s	battle but if the ballers
8033s	Guardians have an advantage here to be
8036s	able to close it out but Washington
8037s	Timeless still are finding those
8039s	eliminations and they gotta be able to
8041s	turn it around because this is getting
8043s	closer and closer to that final play
8045s	especially with how these players are
8046s	recruiting button once these lights bad
8049s	to go their way but all the good Ops
8051s	most out no value to be gained from such
8054s	a large ultimate and it enforces the
8056s	rest of Timeless to continue to throw
8058s	everything they have into this battle
8060s	and it is totally worth it here in the
8062s	end they're buying the time of nearing
8064s	that 99 to completion Valiant Guardians
8068s	they're struggling to get back onto that
8070s	objective get some firm progress while
8072s	they get the flip titles aren't far
8073s	behind
8075s	during that last fight we saw the Mahler
8077s	go down but so much was given by Valiant
8081s	for that elimination that both DPS from
8083s	the side of Valley Gardens just fell but
8085s	the Mahler again now inside the hookah
8088s	followed up by bun moving fish is just
8091s	going through an eviscerating everyone
8093s	falling like dominoes
8096s	this is a brutal right now I've been
8098s	moving fish is just controlling the
8100s	entire tempo of the game I mean saw Hill
8103s	for the first time is forced to back up
8105s	which is completely New Concept to them
8109s	backed up resetting Washington Timeless
8112s	coming into this next fight they'll have
8113s	overclock and Kitsune Rush the side of
8115s	valiant Guardians we'll also have
8117s	Kitsune Raj but the closest Old add to
8119s	that is going to be beat or blade and
8122s	right now with time was instigating what
8124s	this could see any Rush down into hookah
8126s	they're putting themselves at the
8127s	advantage oh they're gonna get them up
8132s	all the dominant front the soldiered
8135s	player on the side of Timeless gets too
8136s	aggressive in the end but the damage was
8138s	certainly dealt and felt the Valiant
8140s	Guardians need a rally behind moving
8142s	fish to make something happen but the
8143s	supports are being pulled out from under
8145s	that bun finding their Rhythm finally at
8148s	the tail end of a garden to the
8150s	Washington titles to tie it up
8152s	hopefully I think saw Hill right now the
8156s	very forward heavy play style is working
8158s	out it's attempting to be punished but
8161s	it's allowing the DPS for Washington
8163s	Timeless to then use the lack of focus
8165s	on them to eliminate the Valiant
8167s	Guardians DPS and similar to how we had
8170s	map one but this time it was moving fish
8172s	horse on doomfist trying to make contact
8173s	with the point unsuccessful we're tied
8176s	one aside it all comes down to city
8178s	center well apologies to University
8181s	hey all good A lot of these there's a
8183s	lot of beige going on here so I I
8185s	totally get it beige is a color that
8187s	tends to blend and university is a map
8190s	that tends to lean towards a brawl and
8192s	this is where I the one time that I am
8196s	okay with running the Reinhardt is here
8199s	this is the only time that I am okay
8201s	with it
8202s	but the remote is something new if this
8206s	actually ends up being sick but knowing
8208s	moving fish this is one of their
8209s	stronger Heroes but just not one we've
8210s	seen yet on cast
8213s	I enjoy some romantra gameplay
8215s	Annihilation when facilitated with the
8217s	Lucio can be absolutely deadly
8220s	the issue comes into play with the fact
8223s	that we got mirror Bastion so yeah
8224s	ramatra has to play very safely using
8227s	that Nemesis horror
8233s	Ora Mantra has to play safely and you
8236s	can say the same thing for Saul Hill I
8237s	mean they didn't even get a chance to
8239s	put the shield down in that fight just
8241s	with the Relentless boom boom of the
8243s	pummels that moving fish was chucking in
8245s	and this is Valiant Guardians they're
8246s	going to get that first percentage
8249s	the the Difference Maker as you meant
8251s	you brought it up I can't put my shield
8253s	down romantra you're in nem form you put
8256s	a block you come back out of it you give
8258s	a couple of punches put block back up
8260s	you live for so long with a Baptiste and
8263s	that is exactly what the Valiant
8264s	Guardians were playing for and then just
8266s	letting H key get full being charged and
8268s	go delete people but unfortunately a
8270s	little overzealous during this engage
8271s	yep you just don't walk into the same
8274s	room as a giant German man with the
8277s	hammer people I don't really know what
8278s	to tell you HP thought they could handle
8280s	it but I'm sorry symmetra just gets some
8282s	Max down into a pulpin and against
8285s	Washington Timeless the space to work
8286s	with and they still have players that
8288s	they're fighting they have to be able to
8289s	close it out and they don't have a tank
8290s	right now either
8293s	they are going to be forced back we got
8295s	snazzler using the aerial strike to try
8297s	and force out some early cooldowns no
8299s	way that gets Halo what that
8304s	that's unfortunate now it looks like
8307s	Washington time was just trying to just
8308s	push forward to force out cooldowns and
8310s	then disengage and meet back up with
8312s	their Lucio we'll see if it works out
8313s	they have done enough to force back the
8316s	value of Guardians for a moment because
8317s	moving fish was sub 50 health
8320s	yeah
8322s	I have a love opportunity to work with
8323s	and but
8326s	oh one time saw Hill's gonna be favorite
8327s	here especially that Earth shatter
8329s	online zoned out a little bit because of
8331s	the romantra ultimate and ends up losing
8333s	their life for it to sustain you have
8334s	under a mantra is just so much better
8336s	than what you get from the good old
8338s	German Crusader and Timeless are being
8340s	exploited for that exact pack that's the
8342s	reason that they're able that they're
8343s	losing these fights
8349s	and we are posted up tied roughly as far
8351s	as percentage points go Valiant
8353s	Guardians catching up will surpass the
8356s	side of Washington was by the time this
8357s	engage starts we have Amore coming up
8359s	with this window and beat for the side
8361s	of Valium full support online
8368s	for Washington will you dropped your
8370s	Shields
8372s	that wasn't even soul Hill that was
8374s	Orion jumping over the shield don't
8376s	couldn't do anything even if they wanted
8378s	to protect the Baptist Orion just jumped
8380s	in front of our morning like oh she's
8381s	not gonna hit me oh yeah buddy she's
8382s	gonna hit you
8384s	duh I get it I get it when you play
8387s	Baptiste you have the luxury of being a
8389s	support here that does a lot of damage
8391s	but yeah you gotta you gotta unbind that
8394s	space key a little bit don't just hop
8397s	around don't jump in front of your
8398s	Reinhardt
8400s	oh
8401s	I thought we were about to see a
8403s	horrible I totally thought we were too
8405s	but Halo was not in a position to be
8408s	able to just everyone off the map so
8410s	lots of time let's successfully make the
8412s	rotation but they're yet to make that
8414s	decisive move they want to take the
8415s	fight in a small room but the ant Matrix
8416s	denying that space and they can't peek
8419s	in front of HK and X that does some
8420s	faming through that window we wanted to
8423s	see it from Aura Mori and she has
8425s	delivered that so far and this this is
8428s	beautiful from evaluate Guardians right
8430s	now
8431s	funny enough you know and I mentioned
8433s	don't go on a tiny room with a German
8435s	man German man gave up the tiny room and
8437s	then tried to go in and closing that
8439s	Distance by yourself as a Reinhardt you
8441s	get turned into swish cheese by a
8443s	Bastion that's exactly you either gotta
8445s	lock it down and stay there and tell
8447s	your team to cover the point or you got
8448s	to be with your team and out rotate the
8450s	enemy and it looks like HQ is going to
8451s	play the game is this the first engage I
8454s	think it is yeah no no no no no no no no
8457s	no no no okay HP had so many moments
8460s	during especially City Center though
8463s	where they had just simply popped off I
8465s	mean I guarantee you when we head into
8467s	the replays of this map it's gonna be an
8469s	H key highlight reel is what we're about
8470s	to watch
8471s	yeah hkey can just you know clip the
8473s	broadcast and put that on Twitter well
8476s	sorry on X as their highlight reel and
8478s	be like yeah
8480s	this this is my highlight reel but with
8481s	that being said
8483s	this is this doesn't seem like it's
8485s	something that's un like unfamiliar for
8487s	Washington Timeless I mean yeah Oasis
8489s	well we're gonna Mulligan that a little
8491s	bit but their success has not strongly
8493s	been on control it has been with the
8496s	ability ability to force new Bonnie as
8498s	the second map now the question is are
8501s	they going to be able to you know keep
8503s	the success that they've had on new body
8505s	going forward where you can take a look
8507s	at some more of these highlights coming
8509s	out from this last series and as Tiny
8511s	mentioned a lot of it's probably going
8513s	to be hkey we've got some from snozzler
8515s	popping off on the sojourn as well as
8517s	some from moving fish on that JQ and you
8520s	can see this the kill feed it's not just
8521s	a one-person show it's a team effort
8524s	it's a team-based game at the end of the
8525s	day so even if you are so to speak the
8528s	nvp of the broadcast you still need to
8530s	be sure that your teammates are finding
8532s	as much value as possible
8534s	I think that's something interesting
8536s	we've seen about the fights that have
8538s	taken place so far is it's usually
8541s	one-sided like whoever gets that first
8542s	elimination typically closes out the
8545s	fight and that's something it's clean
8548s	that's essentially what it comes down to
8549s	is that the players they're able to just
8552s	recognize all right we have an advantage
8553s	we need to rush in we need to close it
8554s	out now before they can react and that
8556s	is the level of competition that they're
8557s	playing on these fights aren't getting
8559s	as Scrappy down and dirty as we've seen
8561s	in some of our previous matches I mean
8562s	these are the top two teams they're in
8564s	the grand finals for a reason whether
8566s	it's because uh the hkey over here or
8569s	just some other crazy pop-off moments
8571s	that we've seen I mean these are the top
8573s	two squads and it's really going to take
8576s	a lot of effort from Washington Timeless
8578s	right now to continue this combat and
8580s	thankfully their favorite map is just
8582s	ahead of us
8584s	let's hope it remains their favorite map
8587s	because we've seen true Valiant
8589s	Guardians very successful as well on
8592s	numbani and truth be told as this this
8596s	entire map progressed when we got off of
8599s	the first control into the second and
8601s	third things started to equalize a heck
8603s	of a lot more there was recognition of
8605s	patterns recognition of favored
8606s	positions and playstyles coming out from
8608s	both teams and they were starting to
8610s	capitalize on that we saw a lot more
8613s	just demolishing of DPS before support
8617s	started falling coming out from both
8619s	sides just taking angles and being
8621s	confident in what they were doing but
8623s	that elimination on that Reinhardt was a
8625s	little painful to witness from X-Men on
8627s	the saw Hill
8628s	just the name of the game you're the
8630s	last way you're standing it was time for
8631s	you to go back to spawn with the rest of
8632s	your team and just it's regrouping in
8634s	the fastest way possible the pain of a
8636s	tank player I feel ya I feel you out
8639s	there and you know we've seen quite a
8642s	decent amount of variety in terms of the
8644s	tank but the JQ has been the
8646s	long-standing favorite I mean erisa
8648s	still very relevant at this stage but
8651s	the junker Queen is just favorite I mean
8652s	you'll look how good sniper and Sawhill
8654s	are on her especially and can't forget
8657s	moving fish in this equation either so
8658s	you look at the map ahead we know what
8661s	it's going to be I don't even have to
8663s	tell you at this point if you've
8664s	listened to even a minute of this
8665s	broadcast so far you know you have the
8669s	map pick in your favorite Timeless you
8670s	know what you're gonna do you know where
8671s	you're gonna go and we're gonna get
8673s	sniper back into the equation which I
8675s	don't I do think is going to affect the
8678s	outcome what we're actually going to
8679s	gain in terms of Washington timeless's
8681s	performance
8683s	I mean sniper was a very oppressive
8687s	force on defense and offense I mean
8689s	defense they did lose the objective but
8692s	they immediately rallied claimed the
8694s	core the first corner and the payload
8696s	did not move on attack there was no Esky
8700s	it was though it was as those yoinked
8702s	out of their keyboards and they were
8703s	just hitting W pressing the advantage
8706s	constantly finding those stagger
8708s	eliminations to just keep that fight
8709s	going further and further back to the
8712s	last spawn and I mean the Lucio player
8715s	of course you're not there because your
8717s	job is to be your resident Shopper
8718s	chilling out on the cart we're watching
8721s	a fight happening at the end of the
8722s	tunnel towards third point and the
8724s	objectives capped because Lucy was just
8726s	chilling out there
8728s	you know what that that's just a trap
8730s	you just need to be the payload princess
8731s	sometimes which in the case that is your
8734s	sports role and as fun as that seep just
8737s	to sit there and watch your team do
8739s	everything it is a very important job
8740s	when it all gets set and done
8744s	oh we'll be watching to Timeless on the
8748s	attack maybe they're just trolling maybe
8750s	they're not just trolling we're still
8753s	walking she's still walking they're
8754s	going
8755s	uh oh
8758s	you know what you know what I I think
8761s	you and I cannot question it this is the
8764s	grand finals
8766s	yeah it's actually or they're like let's
8769s	do a funny
8770s	[Laughter]
8773s	Halo seems like the kind of player
8775s	though that would you feel like hey I'm
8777s	gonna do a funny and it's gonna be cool
8779s	but I I do also think that Italian
8781s	Gardens do have a legitimate plan
8782s	doomfist and life Weaver work together
8785s	incredibly well moving fish gets in
8787s	there's like oh I'm not gonna be able to
8788s	get out of this you got a good ole oink
8790s	back get back here from Halo just like
8793s	your little slap on the wrist like hey
8795s	I'll protect you this time but you gotta
8797s	be careful next one
8798s	yes you make a very fair point it's just
8801s	you really gotta make sure that that
8803s	grip lands on the right person and that
8804s	you're calling for it before it's too
8806s	late if you are the doomfist players we
8808s	see the TP go up oh
8810s	it was pseudo taken
8812s	it was crazy
8815s	I don't hate eat this rotation you want
8818s	to play on the low ground because
8819s	players like hkey and moving fish can
8821s	easily access it anyways which makes
8823s	sense and I wouldn't be shocked if they
8824s	just pull another teleporter out either
8827s	and look they're just walking around the
8828s	up top they need to get aramore and Halo
8830s	out of position arboree knows she's like
8833s	oh I hear them here's all the footsteps
8835s	coming through like oh there they are I
8837s	gotta start to book it out of here and
8838s	while you have a little bit of healing
8840s	that bionic slows them down a lot that
8843s	is gonna be a big issue for Timeless
8844s	right now
8850s	left out high and dry had to pick
8853s	favorites at the end it was aramore but
8855s	no tank Timeless this is their window
8857s	okay but doomfist gets back grotesquely
8860s	fast in the terms of things it's like
8862s	you got Wrecking Ball and doomfist the
8864s	people that you get eliminated it's like
8866s	okay I took cooldowns that's how you do
8868s	it but we have bun going down and that's
8870s	gonna be a little bit of a journey to
8871s	make it back to the point
8872s	this is interesting from Timeless
8874s	because you can seriously see that
8876s	they're thinking about where they want
8878s	to go next and they're doing it so
8880s	slowly that the players and Valiant
8881s	Guardians can easily regroup and you
8885s	don't have a safe diving Target I mean
8886s	argently you're hunting for this Anna or
8888s	Amore has a Target on her back but if
8890s	you lose some sniper off the edge I mean
8893s	what do you do it's been two minutes at
8895s	Washington Timeless don't have much to
8897s	show from it
8898s	no and the one thing that I I'm
8901s	questioning
8902s	is Armory oh okay I get it you're saving
8906s	grace is either a pedal or Halo with the
8908s	grip but that comes at the cost of
8911s	possibly losing moving fish because
8912s	moving fish needs to rely on the grip
8914s	sometimes too but ARA Mori spent that
8916s	almost that entire fight in mid on the
8918s	low ground unpunished
8920s	well they're about to be punished hard
8922s	because that nanoblade has a name on it
8925s	but it's actually for the diva that
8927s	snipers recently picked up and able to
8929s	save a selfish life script that we're
8930s	seeing what is the Baptista Riot where
8932s	what message you manage to get yourself
8933s	into thankfully you got sniper to pull
8936s	it out I know we've been bashing the
8937s	diva so far but sniper also just picked
8939s	up three eliminations all by themselves
8942s	which is not something that you want to
8944s	ignore at all that doesn't mean Valiant
8947s	Gardens aren't out of this yet X10 is
8949s	still alive has a bob Justice all the
8950s	point out and
8952s	what more can you ask from this player
8955s	we've been talking so much about hkey
8956s	that X10 has gone under the radar and
8960s	what should have been a winning fight
8961s	for Timeless they gotta go back to swan
8965s	and we have a snozzler again using the
8968s	bastional forcing people out of position
8970s	bun looking to TP bum looks like the TP
8973s	got demolished a little too quickly lots
8975s	of focus fire came forward and we
8977s	mentioned yes I've we hiked on a little
8979s	bit the diva play sniper did get it yeah
8982s	okay but the issue is to sustain sniper
8984s	had to get out before losing Toki they
8986s	lost the fight now they're trying to do
8987s	it again and Toki is gone hey toky's
8990s	gone I mean the time blocks are on the
8991s	point before they're not gonna give him
8993s	a tick that's not how this works they
8994s	don't give anything out for free they'll
8996s	give you a good old tree though to go
8998s	ahead and hang around which will
9000s	certainly get in the way and bellyard
9001s	they have so much sustain even if they
9003s	end up getting off the point for just
9005s	like that tiny millisecond and Pat lose
9008s	that tick Timeless or nowhere near
9010s	coming away with this fight so far
9011s	bushing fish just denies that High
9013s	Ground to them they're split they're
9015s	bleeding they are hurting right now
9017s	nerdy burden with eight seconds it's
9019s	been such a mess for them trying to make
9021s	this push that it's now or never and
9023s	Halo finds themselves in a very tricky
9025s	situation and with the life we were out
9027s	of the way maybe Timeless have some room
9029s	to work with but it has to happen now
9031s	moving fish returning on the Doom is
9033s	very close to that meteor strike a good
9035s	tool to reset but oh they're not gonna
9037s	be able to get it in time Washington
9038s	Timeless was a mess of an attacking team
9042s	but in the end they withstand all of
9044s	that chaos to get some payload progress
9048s	so Washington Timeless was attempting
9051s	and successfully did it finally to
9054s	basically flip the map objective they
9057s	forced the side of the valley Guardians
9058s	onto the low ground and they were able
9060s	to get on The High Ground it's just they
9061s	struggled a lot because moving fish is
9063s	very comfortable on the doomfist knows
9066s	the the tech the doomfist parkour got up
9068s	on that high ground and punished them
9069s	multiple times and the difference yes it
9072s	took forever it was painful at times but
9074s	having the diva the movability the Boop
9076s	ability that comes with having the mech
9079s	out is very it can be very strong now
9082s	the question is though they've burned so
9084s	many olds and they make it down this
9086s	alleyway
9087s	oh but two HP HK still manages to grab
9089s	both supports which is Big especially
9091s	considering all the pressure that was
9093s	down on them so Valiant Guardians they
9095s	get the hold here on this corner at
9097s	least for now and this is gonna be a
9099s	great spot for them just to hang out
9101s	shipping this damage and use the tools
9103s	that they have at their disposal
9107s	similar situation but now Washington
9109s	Timeless is on the receiving end of what
9111s	they are what they managed to do during
9113s	the last series
9114s	the issue here though is that it's not a
9117s	borderline mirror composition it's not a
9119s	funny comp into a very comfortable comp
9120s	this is a very movement heavy
9123s	composition coming out from Valiant
9124s	Guardians and honestly Timeless needs to
9126s	be looking for this Anna finding on us
9130s	you you seriously you need to be finding
9132s	Aura Mori here I mean she's just sitting
9134s	pretty up on this High ground but the
9135s	photon barrier denies those Los sight
9138s	lines that you really need to keep your
9140s	team alive and Halo struggling to do the
9142s	job just to keep the supports off and
9145s	grab that extra support you need to get
9146s	suicide to take these two players down
9148s	because they are the bat darn good
9150s	Washington Timeless have completely
9152s	swapped up their comp since the
9153s	beginning and it has worked so far this
9156s	is the comp that we haven't seen from
9158s	them but it's a look that I certainly
9160s	enjoy
9161s	it is a very explosive composition the
9164s	dive heavy cop relies on target Focus
9166s	getting in getting out quickly you have
9168s	a gas tank and when you use those things
9171s	oh I'm sorry X10 when you use those
9173s	cooldowns to get in you have to find
9175s	those eliminations fast or you're gonna
9177s	run out of fuel and now Washington Times
9179s	it took a little bit of time but they
9180s	figured it out everyone bun swapping
9181s	over to this from Sombra to the torbjorn
9184s	which I get but it makes bonus Sitting
9187s	Duck however moving fish went to Sigma
9189s	so it could that means buns gonna have
9192s	more survivability
9193s	it does help bun a decent amount here
9196s	but Valiant Guardians they have the
9198s	opportunity to make soft and the
9199s	ultimates to back it up halo is nasty on
9202s	this yachty and especially when that
9204s	stun strikes ability comes out it hits
9207s	so many different players but ideally
9208s	you need to get sniper out of the match
9210s	before you can pop it out and just being
9212s	cautious sniper knows where they are but
9214s	still manages to get the eliminations as
9216s	a process aloe needs to strike here and
9218s	now look how low that they're just
9220s	tugging the players oh Halo comes up big
9223s	is the hero for the Valiant Guardians
9225s	win they need it the most
9228s	Valiant is not unfamiliar with this
9231s	situation we've seen we saw something
9234s	very similar from Valiant Guardians day
9236s	one actually all right moving space it
9238s	was like yeah
9239s	yeah it's a little bit too long on the
9241s	funny character goes back over to Sigma
9243s	is this is almost an identical situation
9247s	with how close that payload is however
9249s	they only have to hold for a minute not
9251s	three and a half minutes like last time
9253s	but we have sniper now going over to the
9255s	JQ this is the composition we've seen
9258s	Timeless be very successful on
9263s	I simply cannot and that is a blow
9266s	that's difficult to come back from even
9267s	with this consuming rush you need to be
9269s	running over moving fish denying any
9271s	space that they had previously but the
9273s	Poke damage too much for Sniper to be
9275s	able to handle and titles they can't get
9278s	themselves over the line in those final
9280s	seconds but I think the back they
9281s	managed to get as far as they did is
9283s	enough accomplishment on their own and
9285s	sets the win condition at a decent
9287s	margin
9289s	I mean typically the pay look like
9292s	halfway in that circular will cross that
9294s	Circle so to speak not all the way at
9296s	the objective but the model is nearly
9298s	there you count as being the third
9300s	checkpoint even though the game won't
9301s	award it this time they're a little bit
9303s	too short for me to say they might might
9306s	as well have to say they have to Cap all
9307s	three points to be successful Valiant
9309s	Guardians are notorious for stopping the
9311s	payload in this general area giving the
9314s	the false hope so to speak playing with
9316s	their food a little bit now the question
9318s	is on defense what is Washington
9319s	Timeless going to be planning here
9321s	there's so much Dynamic that Valiant
9323s	Guardians have the flexibility the depth
9326s	of their hero pools is what's really
9327s	making this a struggle for the side of
9329s	Washington Times to deal with just
9331s	because of the comfort that they have on
9333s	so many different compositions
9336s	that's kind of the thing that we've been
9338s	seeing is the level of flexibility from
9340s	both of these teams we haven't seen much
9341s	of it from Timeless to be totally honest
9343s	they've loved this junker Queen so far
9345s	and they can go over the diva it was
9347s	something fresh it was something new but
9348s	Valiant Guardians and it's like all
9350s	right if you can be flexible let's just
9351s	go ahead pull this out of our back
9353s	pockets to get an Ace card and they've
9354s	been holding on this Sigma and that is
9357s	probably moving fish if they're known
9358s	for a hero it is the sigma right here
9360s	and for a very very good reason on a lot
9363s	of these Maps I don't know about it on
9365s	the attack here especially when you're
9367s	walking into a full-on Roll Pop but
9370s	either way Washington Timeless this is
9371s	their bread and butter this is where
9373s	they've won this map every single time
9375s	and they need to show they can do it
9377s	again
9379s	and then for the side of valiant
9381s	Guardians I'm just I'm watching Halo
9382s	because Halo has been a menace on the
9385s	Yari more than once and I feel like just
9388s	this map Hilo has struggled a little bit
9390s	to have those opportunities to be as
9392s	successful as we've seen in the past but
9394s	taking an off angle with Genji here
9396s	hinging off the front line to claim
9398s	space snazzler sent back to spawn early
9402s	that should not have happened as simple
9404s	as it went the bile data was out aramore
9406s	got the damage dealt and I mean the rest
9408s	of the team just walks in I doubted the
9410s	sigma and I will never doubt it again
9412s	but we need to give aramori and hkey the
9414s	credit that they deserve for opening
9416s	that door basically shoving themselves
9418s	through that little crack to get this
9419s	first point captured in record time
9422s	the pinch was well executed and I
9425s	believe part of that was just
9427s	communication of knowing where the enemy
9428s	team was positioned and saying hey
9430s	they're not all here let's pinch them
9431s	off and force them into us after that
9433s	they cleaned it up very quickly now we
9434s	got H key possibly looking for a quick
9436s	kill here on this Lucio see if the
9439s	Maller manages to make it out alive
9440s	looks like Mahler will live
9442s	vulnerable live for the time being but
9444s	HK is in a lot of trouble especially
9447s	with sniper going over to that sit by
9449s	that's half the reason that she put
9450s	sniper in on this map is because of
9452s	their flexibility onto the off tanks
9454s	because they want a very valid pick
9455s	especially when you'll be able to pull
9457s	out this mirror match especially almost
9458s	a complete and total mirror without the
9460s	support lines being put into
9461s	consideration and I arguably like
9463s	Valiant Guardians more just because of
9465s	those wild days there's not an answer
9467s	for it it forces of mortality fuel but
9468s	look how low they are it gets so much
9471s	done Rebellion Guardians they now have
9473s	the hike on the ant Matrix is forced out
9475s	and catches moving fish on the wrong
9477s	side of it so despite everything that
9479s	they've done they did the right thing to
9480s	get to the spot that they are but
9482s	Washington time was caught them
9483s	completely off guard for Ryan's Matrix
9485s	so the one thing that is the caveat of
9488s	this composition is the Valiant
9489s	Guardians nicely done bun is the fact
9493s	that satin Aid when used aggressively
9495s	versus used for sustain you got to think
9496s	about uptime versus downtime is that
9498s	Sigma can use shift might be able to eat
9500s	it however if your team starts peppering
9502s	damage and Sig needs to shift in the
9503s	middle of it that's a lot of armor
9504s	you're given to the sigma additionally
9505s	Orion well Orion uses immortality okay
9509s	you traded a nade for Amor but guess
9512s	what Orion still has shift so your team
9514s	can't engage with the anticipation of
9515s	deleting someone who gets loved because
9517s	of the ship ability
9524s	chilling out there waiting for the
9527s	chance to pull that one out and then
9528s	there comes the boulder Edge is just
9530s	moving fish down that was enjoyable that
9533s	that was fun to watch thank you very
9535s	much sniper moving pitch for giving us
9536s	that piece of content
9538s	and the one concern I do have is the
9541s	lack of a counter I mean yes you have
9544s	sleep you have rock into snipers okay
9547s	but when you don't have those olds how
9549s	do you sustain through a lift because
9551s	Mueller Mahler has beat when moving fish
9553s	lifts
9555s	does not have that
9557s	no not at all like they're getting
9559s	forced in their spawn they're getting
9560s	beaten down and Bruce so they have to
9562s	eventually just get close they need to
9564s	brawl one-on-one which I'm saying that
9566s	with a cyclical comp yes I am and it's
9568s	finally gonna bite into space the fact
9569s	that they didn't have to use any
9570s	ultimate to do it nerdy bird is kind of
9572s	crazy to me
9574s	however Washington managed to burn off a
9577s	significant amount of the time bank
9578s	being on those High grounds surrounding
9580s	the spawn point and using ultimates yeah
9583s	this next one is not gonna go in their
9585s	favor most likely I mean beating to be
9587s	aggressive is not normally a Lucio play
9590s	you see frequently in high level but in
9593s	organized competitive play but bun might
9597s	be able to use blade but HP goes in Nano
9600s	blade is important than anything really
9602s	right now
9603s	everybody just pulled a full Banana
9606s	Split right there nobody wanted to be
9608s	near bud and the flux
9613s	fluxes could not have gone any worse for
9614s	the team as one is just on cleanup doing
9617s	bringing out the broom to just say
9619s	Valiant Guardians that didn't work out
9620s	and I'm gonna make sure you remember it
9626s	even with an old Advantage not having it
9629s	not work out I mean nanoblade is such a
9631s	win condition and I did touch on this
9634s	previously last week day one with
9636s	Valiant Guardians is relying on
9637s	nanoblade as a win Condition it's a very
9639s	obvious counter the counter is either
9642s	you kill the Genji successfully or you
9644s	have beat just in case and we did see a
9647s	beat come out from the Mahler in that
9649s	instance of Nano blade after it was on
9651s	cooldown because HP struggled to find a
9653s	target for a little bit of time however
9654s	that's too old yeah and nothing was
9656s	gained from it
9658s	not at all and this is a great spot for
9660s	Washington Thomas you gotta Ryan just
9662s	vibing on The High Ground and Valiant
9664s	Guardians they're not gonna push up
9665s	you're gonna go ahead give the bus a
9666s	little hug wait for that to expire and
9668s	even after that air looking straight
9670s	down the face in her graphic flex your
9672s	nerdy bird and this is just an example
9674s	of Washington Timeless having that
9676s	discipline that level of execution that
9678s	has not been matched so far in this
9680s	series this is their map new Bonnie is
9682s	owned by the Washington Squad and unless
9685s	Halo has something to say about it here
9686s	it's gonna continue to be that way but
9688s	there is a huge ultimate coming through
9691s	Halo popping off HK next 10 with the
9695s	follow-up that is what they needed to
9696s	turn the tides of the battle Valiant
9698s	Gardens moving through to this third
9701s	point and that win condition is seen in
9703s	front of them
9705s	I asked for Halo to find an opportunity
9708s	to have a pop-off moment and Halo
9710s	delivered oh yeah beautiful ultimate
9712s	beautiful follow-up now we're going into
9714s	the next fight with Nano Bob lift all
9718s	online the pressure to succeed for
9721s	watching a Timeless all is going down
9723s	onto the Maller but they do get X10
9725s	eliminated early on so guardian's
9729s	backing up
9730s	the problem with running Dash here is
9732s	you just don't really move if you get
9735s	walked on you have a coach gun sure but
9737s	it kind of just sitting there Washington
9739s	Timeless that's not the first time
9741s	they've taken advantage of that and it's
9742s	gonna be a big issue especially with
9744s	this first little choke point this
9745s	tunnel if you have to walk through
9747s	moving fish physically has to move
9749s	people out of the way to make this
9751s	happen but can't get those shots landed
9753s	in time so the damage output isn't there
9755s	the players are still alive you're down
9757s	and all of your cooldowns and you need
9759s	to hit the S key start to get a reset
9761s	wait for these key abilities to come
9762s	back
9763s	hello
9765s	the scary part of that situation is when
9768s	that graffitic flux was instigated the
9770s	Mauler hit amp got all of Washington
9774s	Timeless out of the way
9776s	and still have beat but beat gets Ajax
9778s	during hkey's blade
9781s	that that was a lot to unpack right
9784s	there but the most important thing right
9786s	now is the Valiant Guardians are meters
9788s	away from getting that capture from
9790s	going up 2-0 in this series Washington
9792s	titles need to be engages blood with the
9794s	ultimate but fun he used to help be able
9796s	to pull this out successfully so much
9798s	weight onto her shoulders to make it
9800s	happen but Halo
9805s	titles we're holding on to is go on
9808s	sniper while the Ultimate Looks cool
9809s	moving fish isn't able to be able to
9812s	stay alive right now the staggers
9814s	they're coming through he's one-off
9816s	elimination templates are getting it
9817s	buys them time it buys them hope but
9819s	simply not enough to handle Valiant
9821s	Guardians up 2-0 sitting on Match Point
9823s	of a calling all heroes championship
9825s	title
9829s	all right let's see hkey again with the
9833s	Genji play of the game give them a
9835s	little bit of slice and dice yeah oh the
9837s	beat wasn't Ajax okay it did fully
9839s	actually go off it's just there was so
9842s	much attention to getting these
9844s	eliminations the follow-up was good
9847s	congratulations nice play of the game
9849s	but we still have another map to go
9851s	one more map Italian Guardians they're
9854s	up 2o right we expected this to be close
9857s	and it has been close and it does not go
9861s	to show what our current match Score
9863s	says I mean we went to three rounds on
9865s	Oasis and we got down to pretty much
9867s	overtime on map number two so map number
9870s	three being that Flashpoint is a lot of
9874s	pressure out of Washington Timeless this
9875s	is where they were able to get into a
9877s	good spot before right they were able to
9879s	find their momentum Back start turning
9881s	it around and really play off of sniper
9884s	and specifically of their DPS players
9886s	just popping off and taking that space
9889s	when needed and we just didn't get to
9892s	see that as much in this series they're
9893s	being forced to swap off their favorite
9896s	composition the one that they have been
9897s	the best at and that alone is a blow to
9900s	the mental not to mention being down 2-0
9902s	in a final scenario I mean just think
9904s	about the stress that they're under
9905s	right now
9907s	my advice in these situations is always
9910s	do your best to just focus on the next
9912s	fight ahead of you
9914s	um keeping a calm and level head like
9916s	yeah discussing minor things but not
9919s	really focusing on everything that went
9920s	wrong because it can become overwhelming
9922s	these teams on both sides is but
9925s	focusing on Washington Timeless they
9928s	went they ran the gauntlet to make it
9930s	back here and that just shows the amount
9932s	of strength that they have as players
9933s	and they should have the confidence to
9935s	know that they can come up here to go
9938s	toe-to-toe with Valiant Guardians focus
9940s	on their next map understand make sure
9942s	everyone's on the same page what is our
9944s	goal here what is our play style how are
9946s	we executing our win conditions here
9948s	understanding how important that first
9950s	fight is and they're the setting the
9952s	goal of we are winning the first fight
9954s	here as we move into Flashpoint and
9956s	going from there taking it one step at a
9959s	time eliminating that stress because at
9961s	the end of the day your gameplay is
9962s	what's going to make or break your team
9964s	so you better come swinging
9966s	and what can determine that gameplay is
9969s	your ability to keep a level head in
9971s	these situations our verse sweep is a
9973s	lot to ask of anybody especially like
9975s	look at Timeless they've had to play
9977s	another match before this another four
9979s	Maps prior and they're at the point of
9982s	everything that they've just done going
9984s	down to absolutely nothing you do not
9986s	want to get swept in these white as
9988s	Washington Timeless they have the
9989s	potential to take Valiant Guardians down
9991s	they're the one team who has managed to
9994s	take those maps and that is saying
9996s	something when you look at how strong
9997s	that five player roster is Washington
10000s	Timeless right now this is their chance
10002s	to regroup they have the next next
10004s	selection going into map number three
10006s	and it is going to be their last of the
10008s	series regardless if they end up coming
10010s	out on top of it or not and it needs to
10012s	count here
10013s	well hopefully they're locked in and
10016s	ready to go and my heart does go out to
10019s	them because they've played a lot of
10020s	maps at this point and anyone that's
10022s	watching that says well you know I've
10024s	played eight back-to-back games of
10025s	competitive OverWatch it is a
10027s	drastically different experience doing
10029s	it in organized competitive play it's a
10031s	lot more mentally draining and so right
10033s	now they really have to dig down deep
10035s	and pull up as much energy as they can
10037s	help each other make sure they're all
10040s	ready and engaged locked in for this
10042s	next map I know flashpoint's new some
10045s	people hate it some people love it it's
10047s	definitely better than 2cp that's at
10049s	least what I can say about that one so
10051s	hopefully they're confident on this
10054s	Flashpoint because they were actually
10056s	the side of Washington Timeless was
10058s	extremely successful on Flashpoint yeah
10059s	I think they fumbled a little bit here
10061s	and there but the one thing I will say
10063s	is that when at least when we saw them
10064s	earlier today we could easily pinpoint
10067s	what sniper was looking for what sniper
10069s	was wanting to do and I don't know if
10071s	the Valiant Guardians are going to give
10073s	those opportunities as quickly over to
10075s	the side of Washington as we saw earlier
10077s	are from the other team
10079s	that's one thing that Washington Times
10081s	like to do specifically on Flashpoint
10083s	where
10084s	um that we can see
10086s	these specifically they wait for another
10089s	one to make a mistake and let's be
10091s	honest spelling accordions they're not
10092s	gonna be one to make mistakes like other
10094s	opponents that you faced in this
10095s	competition it's something that's come
10097s	back to bite them in the butt multiple
10099s	times here that they wait so long to
10101s	find an error on the other side it
10103s	doesn't come and suddenly they're
10104s	overwhelmed with all of just five
10106s	players collapsing on top of them so the
10109s	playstyle it does need to change a
10110s	little bit I need to see more of this
10112s	initiative taken you can't have these
10114s	small moments of hesitation those are
10115s	going to be the ones that can Define the
10118s	difference between winning and losing an
10120s	entire Championship right now everything
10122s	rides on this map for Washington
10123s	Timeless and as a valiant Gardens
10125s	they're looking straight down the barrel
10127s	of a complete sweep and an undefeated
10129s	run through the Congo Heroes minor too
10133s	and some increa incredible bragging
10135s	rights across the board but of course
10137s	like I said earlier no pressure
10139s	Washington Timeless despite how much
10141s	tiny and I are going to try and make you
10143s	feel it because we pray that you are
10144s	actually not watching the broadcast and
10146s	instead are focused in with your team
10148s	right now and you guys are ready to go
10150s	this is game one map one there's no
10153s	history you guys are just gonna play to
10154s	your strengths and do the best that you
10156s	possibly can because that's the best way
10157s	to keep the anxiety at Bay and keep your
10159s	head calm and collected because you are
10161s	all incredible players from both sides
10163s	extremely talented it's just gonna be
10166s	you know at the end of the day
10168s	this could be the end of your day or you
10171s	could keep going the question is can you
10173s	keep going
10174s	it's really you got to pull out all the
10177s	fumes you got left in this little bit of
10179s	gas tank for new Jump City Pacific and
10181s	this this map is a point where there's
10185s	so many spots you can easily control the
10187s	chokes I think that what stands out to
10189s	New York City for me is that the places
10191s	where the teams come in you're filtered
10193s	through such a narrow Corridor that the
10196s	people that are in control of the point
10198s	have such an advantage when you're
10200s	trying to get onto the attack so out
10202s	between of course New York City and
10204s	store obasa this is the one that if you
10206s	get that first control you take the
10207s	initiative you win that first fight
10210s	then you're pretty set moving forward to
10212s	at least get half of that objective
10214s	captured before you have to come back
10216s	and battle it out all over again here so
10218s	new drug City Washington Timeless they
10221s	want to take this map off of valiant
10223s	Gardens keep their hopes of becoming the
10225s	champion of the following all heroes
10226s	minor to unite alive you need to act
10229s	first and you need to do it better than
10231s	what the Valiant Guardians have planned
10233s	because I'm sure they're not unprepared
10235s	for this map either
10236s	well the other thing is that normally
10238s	Washington Timeless they are very good
10239s	at striking first and possibly it is
10241s	just a little bit of the nervousness
10242s	getting to them right now but
10245s	they do I understand you look for
10247s	mistakes and you want to capitalize on
10248s	those mistakes but in the in our
10250s	previous series they were more than fine
10252s	with forcing the other team to make
10254s	mistakes and then moving forward from
10256s	there here I truly they need to pull
10260s	their confidence back up to where it was
10261s	at the beginning of the day and just
10263s	know and trust each other to be able to
10265s	survive click the right heads and focus
10269s	on each individual fight focus on when
10271s	do you see someone use a cooldown
10273s	because of course Valiant Guardians
10274s	they're not perfect they will never play
10277s	Perfect now watch in Timeless they will
10279s	never play perfect either everyone's
10280s	going to make a mistake it's if you see
10282s	it you call it and you capitalize on it
10284s	because there were times during Bonnie
10286s	that they were not capitalized on where
10288s	Valiant was blatantly disregarding the
10290s	concerns that most players would have
10297s	potentially the last they know that
10299s	Victory is in sight right now and
10302s	they're coming out of this all guns a
10304s	blazing moving fish back on to that just
10307s	quickly but that doesn't matter for X10
10309s	snozzler gets the rail shot to the Dome
10312s	putting Valiant Guardians in a tricky
10314s	situation to mount to combat one snipers
10317s	Bulls team ahead on to the Joker Queen
10319s	they're just trying to get out alive but
10321s	sniper gets so aggressive here can they
10323s	keep them alive just barely Valiant
10326s	Guardians not off to a good start in
10327s	this map and that is all because
10328s	snozzler hit that first shot
10331s	that opening elimination coming out from
10334s	snazzler instead of receiving a kunai to
10338s	the head for the first fight creative
10342s	crafted very different story from
10343s	Washington Timeless 1.1 you mentioned it
10345s	earlier first first e-lims are extremely
10348s	important and then sniper just becoming
10351s	undeterred by lack of help using every
10353s	cooldown exhausting all the gas to get
10355s	in the front line split them up and
10357s	allow their team to surround and Conquer
10359s	perfectly executed but they need to do
10362s	it again and that is where things start
10363s	to get hard it's repeating Perfection
10365s	multiple times
10366s	and they do like I said family cards it
10369s	is not easy to get to this point
10371s	especially with that kitsu and I Rush
10372s	blocking your only reasonable pass the
10374s	fight has to go off to the point and
10375s	force the player to overextend that's
10377s	punching mistake right there H key
10379s	taking that elimination to their name
10381s	and showing that Waltzing both Timeless
10383s	are a vulnerable and can't replicate
10385s	this Perfection enough and they end up
10387s	using a Sal barrier in this fight I am
10389s	not a fan of that whatsoever especially
10391s	with the blows those deadly ones that
10394s	they've been dealt I mean you're gonna
10395s	get to a decent amount of percentage
10397s	here but inevitable
10400s	it does I think that sound barrier was
10403s	just enough yeah to help the rest of the
10404s	Washington Timeless team make it out of
10406s	the objective and reconvene with the
10408s	other two bun and Orion that had been
10410s	eliminated so while it's questionable I
10413s	understand it but they are within Arm's
10415s	Reach of closing out the subjective and
10417s	they have the old Advantage going into
10419s	this fight for a moment yeah just for a
10421s	little bit though a lot of those are
10422s	coming out now at HQ still on fire from
10426s	map one two map two and now here in a
10428s	map and number three this black point is
10430s	no different in the eyes of this Flex
10431s	DPS player I mean she's been so good for
10434s	Valiant Guardians finding them way in
10437s	there is a lot of players that will tell
10440s	you and I typically agree with this
10441s	there's a few exceptions to this rule
10443s	that the play whichever team holds first
10445s	is most likely going to win the fight
10446s	and the exceptions to that I think are
10449s	your support ultimate specifically
10451s	supports like beat and Kitsune Rush
10454s	responding with beat to a beat or
10456s	responding with Kitsune rush to a
10458s	Kitsune Rush tends to be more successful
10459s	because that extra half a second one
10462s	second that you get the ultimate on your
10465s	team makes a huge difference because
10467s	it's at the tail end of the fight
10470s	okay but it has to be that reactive
10472s	sound barrier here the initiation bun
10473s	wanted to make that first blow but no
10475s	it's X10 to support just Superior in
10478s	terms of the utility available for the
10480s	Valiant Guardian sitting at that 99
10482s	wanted to take it back they do end up
10485s	losing control of the objective here
10487s	they only are down one player but the
10488s	recovery selfie oh it only hits two but
10491s	it's just enough for Washington Timeless
10492s	to stay alive for a little bit longer
10494s	hope that somebody can get back in time
10496s	but those bonds are light years away
10498s	right now Valiant Guardians have just so
10500s	many more players circling around this
10502s	Arena it's only fitting as they battle
10504s	in the final piece of junk City to claim
10507s	the first blow here on to new junk City
10511s	now the question
10513s	I have here is are they going to catch
10515s	people in rotation or they're choosing
10517s	to go straight to the point we did not
10519s	see many fights happen during the point
10522s	transition phases the last time we were
10524s	on new junk City but some teams like to
10526s	do it some teams prefer to just dedicate
10528s	it to go straight to point and it looks
10530s	like yes we are going to attempt a
10532s	mid-rotation fight possibly find a quick
10534s	elimination
10536s	they're trying to scope it out but
10538s	Valiant Guardians already worked their
10541s	way over to the center of ducks which is
10542s	again another one of those objectives
10544s	that you're having to filter through
10546s	these small areas you need to force your
10547s	way out into Ryan's to rush just the
10550s	thing to do that with Valiant Guardians
10551s	they want a mirror but it's too little
10553s	too late for moving fish the support was
10556s	not present the damage has to come back
10558s	on the other side million Guardian is
10559s	looking for some sort of respawn and it
10561s	is their DPS dealers to do just that H
10564s	key coming up with another triple kill
10566s	to go ahead get Bali into Guardians back
10568s	in control
10569s	and it was that responsive Kitsune rush
10572s	to Orion's engage katsune Rush that
10575s	ultimately led to that success yes you
10576s	lost your front line it happened your
10578s	tank you make space half the time you
10580s	die making space however hkey then
10583s	spending the Dragon Blade recognizing
10586s	that that is how you get the
10587s	equalization and using the katsune rush
10589s	that lasts just a hair of a second
10591s	longer to eliminate the side of
10593s	Washington Justice well Washington
10595s	Timeless was what was important there
10598s	it's just that tiny bit of time that
10600s	counts those moments of hesitation which
10602s	Valiant Guardians they don't have many
10604s	of they move in they use the Bob so
10606s	early that Washington Timeless they're
10608s	they're down they're hurting even if
10609s	they have ultimates on the board here
10611s	the opportunity to use them has not
10613s	presented itself just yet and it gives
10615s	them up so much time and space they have
10616s	to engage and fear it is Nosler hitting
10619s	the final blow just in time in Valiant
10621s	Guardians they're gonna Grumble without
10623s	Aura Mori in the back to keep them all
10625s	up but still all the resources being
10628s	committed on the side of valiant Gardens
10630s	I really don't know how to feel about
10632s	that one specifically especially knowing
10634s	that Washington Timeless are just better
10636s	in terms of what they had available in
10638s	those players
10640s	moving fish lived for so long being
10644s	pushed into a corner using that bleed to
10647s	get just a little bit extra healing
10648s	survive a couple extra seconds
10650s	ultimately Valiant Guardians 99 on our
10653s	second Flashpoint
10656s	they I think they're gonna have to
10658s	possibly give this one up just based off
10660s	of the old disparity we see going into
10662s	this one that means it's at least one
10664s	fight and another fight so they need to
10665s	take this pass for assaults or charge
10667s	alt really quickly and play for the
10669s	99.99 prolongingness engage
10673s	yeah I mean Valiant guard they have time
10675s	time is on their side right now they
10676s	need to give resources out of the
10678s	Washington Timeless team and that's just
10680s	gonna be it the ultimate's coming in
10682s	button grabbing two with the Dragon
10683s	Blade make it a third on top of it cause
10686s	why the heck not Valiant Guardians
10687s	they're okay with losing that fight
10689s	knowing that they're just a drained
10690s	ultimate uh Washington's resources
10693s	they drained kitsuni Rush blade snazzler
10697s	is well off from that overclock maulers
10699s	and sub 50 on beat so is Halo but now
10705s	the combo that was just used against
10707s	them they have in their back pocket and
10709s	could theoretically get this at the 99
10711s	mark
10712s	they want to but no HD balls are ruining
10715s	the dragon place that was how they were
10716s	gonna win the fight Dirty Bird oh that
10718s	one pick sniper did just the right thing
10721s	there did not allow hkey to be all gutsy
10724s	like she's been all game she got
10725s	punished for it Washington Timeless they
10728s	had just destroyed Valiants at their own
10730s	game and tied up
10732s	H cam sorry I feel like I pseudo Caster
10735s	cursed that one
10737s	you have my sincerest apologies
10740s	it happens sometimes you're not the only
10743s	person I've done it to but now hey at
10745s	least you have the kitchenera's
10746s	dragonblade combo to go into the next
10748s	fight and you'll have Rampage and you'll
10751s	also have Bob
10752s	the disparity in the olds suggest
10754s	looking at the numbers only in the
10757s	situation should go in favor Valiant
10759s	Guardians X10 waiting for an opportunity
10761s	looking for when we're going to pop this
10764s	Bob oh sojourn yikes
10768s	L big big yikes in the chat right there
10771s	as especially if you're a valiant guard
10773s	is the Rampage coming out for moving
10775s	fish I mean it is still very winnable
10777s	right now sniper one of the few players
10779s	still alive for the guardians but this
10781s	moving fish really have the support to
10782s	back it up they got the Lucio that's
10784s	about it Orion is the target of choice
10787s	here I mean look at all the pressure
10788s	they're putting on I mean give Valiant
10790s	credit right now for not giving up that
10791s	capture until now it's percentage has
10793s	denied and now they re-engage if student
10795s	a rush is Intel for both sides and it
10797s	really just depends do the Lucio's
10799s	commit the sound barriers Halo thing so
10801s	so does a smaller at least they agree on
10803s	something in this fight and you
10805s	certainly have to with all the damage
10806s	being chopped out in the back line
10808s	Soldier just going crazy at it keeping
10811s	hkey off of their back but gets punished
10813s	for it each he's been getting so so
10815s	aggressive and finally Washington
10817s	Timeless I've had enough of how gutsy
10820s	they've been playing and saying no you
10822s	need to get out of your Rebellion
10823s	Guardians see them sleeping off guard
10826s	this is a messy messy fight first point
10829s	but the fact that Washington Timeless
10830s	got that first percent they're already
10832s	halfway through
10833s	all I gotta say is that was a prime
10836s	example as to why these this composition
10838s	is referred to as jotes because of the
10841s	amount of old thumping that happened and
10844s	now look at the old charges for the
10845s	tanks they're almost online again
10847s	because of the chaos it's created the
10850s	amount to sustain that they're able to
10851s	have during those fights but that was
10853s	one fight that dragged on way too long
10856s	you lose it you're gonna lose the point
10858s	you win it you're more than likely to be
10861s	successful first fights are just that
10863s	much more important on Flashpoint and
10865s	you can say that the same for the last
10866s	one too because one wants it to be the
10869s	last for Washington Timeless right now
10870s	dragonblade is pulled looking for the
10872s	target with the tank not a great one to
10874s	go through yeah you get some chunk
10875s	damage in but X10 now mirroring the
10877s	soldier on the other side snozzler was
10879s	not ready for that level of wave wow
10882s	look at all over the pressure they
10883s	immediately turned their eyes towards
10885s	accent and you have to in that situation
10887s	the damage is being thrown across the
10890s	point on either side of The Foundry it
10893s	is Scrappy traffic place to have to pull
10895s	this one out but Valiant Gardens they're
10896s	the ones that have to come out on top if
10898s	they want a chance at getting this one
10900s	under the belts
10903s	looking at the old so we have coming
10905s	online Kitsune Rush beat as well as
10909s	Rampage for Washington Timeless Valiant
10911s	Guardians Kitsune Rush beat we'll call
10913s	that beat and dragon will Dragon Blade
10915s	online for Valiant Guardians now if
10918s	sniper gets what sniper wants which is
10921s	that early
10922s	usage yeah
10925s	exactly it happened quite a time I just
10928s	I want sniper to play undeterred as we
10931s	saw sniper in the past yeah we need to
10933s	respect Amore but at the same time you
10937s	need to be Brave and Bold as we see bun
10939s	take down X10 to engage this fight yeah
10941s	one just gets themselves in there and
10943s	that's another late sound barrier here
10944s	from paello it's 3v5 and I just do not
10947s	like that ultimate at all that's really
10950s	Gonna Hurt the valley and Guardians and
10951s	I mean what hurts more than losing
10953s	another one of these Flashpoint maps and
10955s	it puts Matt Washington Timeless in such
10957s	a good spot look what they're going into
10959s	round number four with
10961s	scary thing is
10963s	they spent Kitsune Rush forced out rush
10966s	and beat and we're still successful
10968s	Washington Timeless now heavily favored
10971s	for this first engage but we you know
10973s	when we were starting that last point
10975s	there were a lot of olds that got dumped
10977s	as well from the other side and instead
10979s	Washington still managed to be
10981s	successful the reverse story could
10982s	happen here we'll have to wait and see
10984s	really want to keep an eye on H key with
10986s	this blade as well as the overclock
10988s	because if those are popped at the same
10989s	time it's a deadly combo
10991s	that's being of a deadly combo how about
10993s	a sniper going on in with that Rampage
10996s	every single time we did not come
10997s	through it turns out that our Mori had
10999s	the Susu to help the counter this one
11000s	out look at the resources that my screen
11003s	is literally starting to freeze because
11005s	of all the chaos that is happening on
11006s	the screen and snazzler is the one to
11008s	come out on top of it start doing the
11010s	damage but has to back off let bud and
11012s	sniper to the rest just a distraction
11014s	four moving fish keeping them occupied
11016s	yeah they lose their life but for a very
11018s	worthy cause
11020s	and now this time Washington Timeless
11024s	deleted everybody first and is now gonna
11026s	go cap the objective so that means at
11028s	least we should see two more full fights
11032s	happening here it's just
11035s	I
11036s	sometimes there's questionable ultimates
11038s	and other times I just I agree with it
11041s	it just doesn't work out and
11042s	unfortunately I feel like that last one
11043s	from hkey and X10 just did not work out
11046s	but Kitsune Rush as well as Rampage
11048s	could be huge and getting a early Lucio
11051s	pick is even better
11053s	uh looking like a sniper out there and
11058s	Ryan can't escape the sight lines of X10
11062s	in the amount of time they had a loud
11064s	and alien Guardians this is the
11066s	initiative they wanted to see I do not
11068s	like that consuming rush or Amore would
11070s	have liked to take that one back for
11071s	sure
11073s	but I mean at the end of the day you're
11074s	equalized now with Orion as far as
11076s	continues
11078s	it kind of voids each other out
11081s	it's but you know honestly you want that
11083s	a little bit of extra speed sometimes
11085s	you will have Halo with the Lucio beat
11087s	coming up which should be okay
11088s	considering we're going up against
11090s	overclock and Rampage from Washington
11092s	timeless
11094s	those two Olsen conjunction if Halo does
11097s	not get this beat off are going to
11099s	delete the Guardians
11102s	Halo's decision to make right now is do
11104s	you beat for that Rampage or do you use
11107s	it on the overclock right now and
11108s	snuggler has been a significant threat
11110s	so far but how much of it if you can
11112s	just avoid the sidelines and it would be
11114s	fine but Halo Seasons danger has to use
11116s	it now so sniper as soon as that goes
11118s	down that's when they want to strike but
11120s	snazzler is traded out in the back line
11123s	so this is a risky situation for Valley
11125s	and Guardians to continue fighting
11126s	without their tank but they don't have a
11128s	choice sniper gets punished on the
11130s	engage in their own Rampage got gutsy
11132s	seeing there was no tank on the other
11134s	end but Exton is alive and strong
11136s	perfect ends all around in my eyes for
11139s	only bun it's the last one standing here
11142s	preventing this from going to around
11144s	number five
11147s	bun knew that that was the end of it sub
11151s	10 health and hkey snazzler came in too
11154s	late I think possibly actually bun might
11156s	have been waiting she was hoping that
11158s	snazzler would be able to make it back
11159s	in time to take that two on three and
11162s	try and try to stall it out a little bit
11164s	longer but it was just too little too
11166s	late now snozzler got staggered slightly
11169s	but not enough that it's going to be too
11171s	detrimental for this next fight but now
11172s	this is it all cards are on the table
11174s	the dice have been thrown down so to
11176s	speak because it's winner take all at
11179s	this point if you're the Valiant
11180s	guardian and if you're watching time was
11182s	you get to hang on a little bit longer
11184s	but this flash point is the end of it
11187s	oh this is for all the marbles right now
11191s	Valley and Guardians they have the
11192s	ultimate Advantage you need to use it
11193s	here the point already capped is a huge
11196s	start to this fight even if they don't
11197s	end up getting the value out of their
11199s	ultimates that percentage gained is
11200s	invaluable in the inevitable outcome of
11202s	this game
11206s	this is the first time that we have seen
11208s	I believe aramori upon point lock views
11211s	could sooner typically it's Orion who
11213s	uses katune rest first with aramoy
11215s	responding aramore decided to shake
11217s	things up but here comes from the side
11220s	of Washington Timeless but finds H key
11223s	that's the opening yeah that's the
11226s	ultimate go on HD one tried to be sneaky
11228s	all up in the backlight button nope
11230s	button says D at night still half the
11233s	percentage gained for Valiant Guardians
11234s	had a significant cost for them and in
11237s	the long run Washington Timeless are
11238s	gonna be in control for quite some time
11243s	also those eliminations were staggered
11246s	out on the Valiant Guardian so they
11248s	should be able to equalize percentage
11249s	points here and hopefully hkey did not
11252s	push too far forward and yes H key
11255s	unfortunately did and it's going to get
11256s	sent back to spawn as well so basically
11259s	say there's another five percent that's
11260s	gonna go in favor of Washington timeless
11263s	that is never something you want to do
11265s	is stagger yourself but I mean
11267s	Washington did it on the previous one it
11269s	happens but we got beat we got Blake we
11271s	have overlocked and Rampage for
11273s	Washington whereas we have beat and
11274s	Rampage a little bit close to katsune
11277s	rush here from Valiant
11278s	really looking to see who holds first in
11280s	this situation it looks like it's bun
11282s	with that Dragon Blade gets him low but
11284s	can't find the elim it's a cute Fest out
11287s	there but not for the
11290s	ultimate that Washington Times have in
11292s	their grass and Valiant Guardians
11293s	they're presented with an opportunity to
11294s	push in no nothing available to counter
11297s	it out but Halo falling as well you
11299s	couldn't ask for a better turnaround as
11301s	Washington Timeless gets to that 99
11303s	percent the only player remaining right
11305s	now is Aura Mori and you simply are not
11308s	taking that fight as only akiriko in the
11310s	Grass Hill has to return to be able to
11312s	get that sound barrier off just by some
11314s	more time hope for a miracle to end up
11316s	happening right now but Washington
11317s	Timeless they have all the resources
11319s	they got sniper anchoring on that
11321s	objective Washington time plus oh they
11324s	are not down and out of this just yet at
11327s	all they're gonna continue their fight
11329s	forwards getting one step closer to
11331s	coming towards a reverse sweep
11337s	I am both shocked and also at the same
11340s	time kinda not surprised
11344s	I anticipated that going all four all
11346s	five flash points so we can enjoy
11348s	snipers play of the game here on one of
11350s	the heroes that we definitely think his
11352s	snipers Ace in the Hole on the JQ
11354s	doesn't even need to hit the Q button
11356s	and gets play of the game with that
11358s	being said we are now moving on to the
11360s	map that is a little slow for some
11363s	people
11364s	and can produce a lot of mistakes if
11366s	people aren't willing to play a little
11367s	bit slower so we're going to be moving
11368s	on to push you love it or you hate it
11372s	and I feel like this is an opportunity
11373s	for DPS really to shine and for
11376s	understanding
11378s	patience being important to shine for
11380s	other teams as well you get too antsy
11382s	too soon it'll be punished but the
11384s	question is are we gonna see a mirror
11385s	match up or are we actually going to see
11387s	things shaken up a bit here I wouldn't
11389s	mind JQ mirror but seeing some variation
11391s	would also be nice
11394s	as much as I would like to see it shake
11396s	it up I think the JQ mirror is the way
11397s	to go for both teams right now I mean
11399s	Washington Times They just won a map off
11401s	of the Valley Gardens that's where they
11403s	got their success is with this JQ comp
11404s	keep it up if it ain't broke don't fix
11406s	it we've said that so many times today
11407s	and this is why you're gonna anchor down
11409s	here on the next pitch selection which
11411s	will be in the favor of Balian Guardians
11414s	and I think that what push does in a
11416s	similar format to Flashpoint is decision
11418s	making is Queen that is that is
11421s	essentially what it comes down to is
11423s	what positioning are you taking are you
11424s	allowing this robot to move forwards are
11426s	you going to push it I mean there's so
11428s	many small interesting things that go
11429s	into push that you're punished for your
11432s	mistakes it is so much worse than you
11434s	can for any other map just because the
11436s	mountain you have to climb is so much
11438s	steeper and when we end up seeing that
11440s	map come into play but the good news is
11442s	is that these teams are gonna have a
11444s	little bit more time to start getting
11445s	that strategy into place prepared for
11447s	map number four so while we while we
11448s	wait for that to get started enjoy some
11450s	replays that we have from our previous
11452s	map and we'll see you on the other side
11454s	foreign
11458s	gets so aggressive here can they keep
11460s	them alive just barely Valiant Guardians
11463s	not off to a good start in this map and
11465s	that is all because snozzler hit that
11466s	first shot
11468s	elimination to their name and showing
11470s	that Waltzing both Timeless are a
11472s	vulnerable Academy though a lot of those
11474s	are coming out now at HQ still on fire
11477s	from map one two map two and now here in
11480s	a map having just so many more players
11482s	circling around this Arena it's only
11483s	fitting as they battle in the final
11486s	piece of junk City to claim the first
11488s	blow here on to new junk city right
11492s	since the damage has to come back on the
11494s	other side alien Guardian is looking for
11496s	some sort of respond if you need to use
11497s	them has not presented itself just yet
11499s	it gives them up so much time and space
11501s	I really don't know how to feel about
11503s	that one specifically especially knowing
11505s	that Washington time with Lion guard
11506s	they have time time is on their side
11508s	right now they need to get resources out
11510s	of the Washington Timeless team and
11512s	that's just gonna be it the ultimate's
11514s	coming in Run gravity with the Dragon
11516s	Blade make it a third on top with it
11518s	cause why the heck for when we're going
11521s	to pop this Bob oh he's the soldiers oh
11524s	big big yikes in the chat right there
11526s	and especially if you're a valley like
11529s	Soldier just going crazy at it keeping H
11531s	key off of their bagging thrown across
11535s	the point on either side of The Foundry
11537s	it is Scrappy Scrappy place to have to
11539s	pull this one out Pavilion Gardens
11541s	they're the ones that have to come out
11542s	on top it's literally starting to freeze
11544s	because of all the chaos that is
11545s	happening on the screen and stop let's
11547s	dive into the rest just a distraction
11549s	four moving fish keeping them occupied
11552s	yeah Ryan can't escape the sight lines
11554s	of X10 in the amount of time they had a
11556s	loud Italian Guardians this one has done
11559s	the engage with their own Rampage got
11561s	gutsy seeing there was no tank on the
11563s	other end but Exton is alive and strong
11566s	Perfect 10 they're only bun to the last
11568s	one standing here preventing this from
11570s	going to a round number game for Valiant
11573s	Guardians had a significant cost for
11576s	them and in the long run Washington
11577s	timelines are gonna be in control for
11578s	quite some time
11581s	important ultimate that Washington Times
11583s	have in their grass and Valiant
11585s	Guardians they're presented with it's
11586s	also they got sniper anchoring on that
11588s	objective Washington time plus oh they
11591s	are not down and out of this just yet at
11594s	all they're going to continue their
11596s	fight forwards getting one step closer
11598s	to coming towards a reverse sweep
11603s	[Music]
11612s	thank you
11615s	[Music]
11633s	foreign
11636s	[Music]
11662s	the calling all heroes unite minor 2
11665s	continues with map number four Dirty
11668s	Bird we have done it well I didn't say
11670s	we have done it but we did kind of
11672s	conjure into existence here Washington
11674s	timelines finding their rhythm again and
11676s	they took a map off of valiant Gardens
11679s	they shown that they can do it the
11680s	momentum is on their side the map
11682s	selection not so much but knowing we're
11684s	heading to push and how few options are
11686s	and you know maybe I have a bit of a
11688s	sixth sense here of what map we're
11690s	heading to Next they're not gonna be too
11691s	disappointed
11693s	I mean okay so it's not their map pick
11696s	per se but it's still a map that they
11699s	have been very successful on as a full
11701s	team I mean if you are Washington
11703s	Timeless and hoping you know kind of
11706s	pseudo ESPN over to the enemy team what
11709s	map you would like them to go with it's
11710s	definitely coliseo there was so much
11713s	success for them on this map they
11715s	already warmed up against another team
11717s	earlier on broadcast on this map and now
11719s	it's the opportunity to do it all over
11720s	again however as you mentioned earlier
11723s	there's been a lot of favoring on both
11725s	sides of the JQ that mirror matchup is
11727s	going to make it a little bit of a slow
11729s	start for both sides if that is what's
11731s	going to happen however it becomes very
11733s	explosive once we start getting out of
11736s	that first Corridor out of the Coliseum
11737s	and going up it just at that point it
11740s	comes down to positioning and being
11742s	advantageous with what you're doing
11743s	fight planning and being for and
11745s	predicting what the other team wants to
11747s	do so you don't let them do it because
11748s	that High Ground once you get that
11749s	control it's game over
11751s	it seriously is and that is something
11753s	that Timeless we saw them do very well
11755s	when they were playing in their previous
11757s	matchup and they would just straight up
11759s	disregard what was happening down mid
11762s	and take over that High Ground so you
11763s	would get snozzler you get bun in
11765s	positions where you're suddenly poking
11767s	for multiple angles you're overwhelming
11769s	your opponents and I can guarantee you
11770s	now that Valiant they're not going to
11771s	let that happen to them nearly as easily
11774s	the Reinhardt should not be played here
11776s	I'd hope for the sake of this team but
11779s	Jugger Queen is the name of the game
11781s	you're gonna have this mirror you're not
11782s	automatically going to have this
11784s	advantage in the tank Department in
11785s	terms of the space that you're being
11786s	given which makes this task much harder
11789s	than their initial match in the losers
11790s	finals
11791s	most definitely and honestly this is the
11794s	opportunity right now for Washington
11795s	Timeless this is it this is
11798s	end-all be-all you gotta throw
11800s	everything down you've got to send us
11802s	over to the map five as exhausted as
11804s	they are as slow as their brains are
11807s	wanting to move because of how tired
11809s	they are how much they've been putting
11810s	into these games they have to keep
11812s	giving us a little bit more here and
11814s	there just to come out on top of this
11816s	one because of course
11817s	for us and for everyone watching you
11819s	always want to see a map five if your
11822s	team is the one that's the underdog and
11824s	it's painful
11826s	you know if you are in Washington right
11828s	now you are playing for that map five so
11831s	you have to give us as much as you can
11833s	here and then do it all over again in
11835s	the next map you've been successful on
11836s	coliseo before and you showed us how
11839s	strong you can be can you do it again
11841s	and do it against your rival
11843s	there's it's not easy what Timeless has
11846s	to do right now and you lose the first
11848s	two maps you're forcing a map five here
11850s	if they want to come back on top and
11853s	seeing a map five in the grand finals of
11856s	an event is high tier as pulling all
11858s	heroes would be absolutely amazing right
11861s	now so Washington Timeless this is their
11864s	not their map selection but one that
11866s	they showed that they do have an
11867s	understanding of how to play it around
11869s	the junker Queen yes the Valiant
11871s	Guardians are a different piece to
11873s	tackle but you need to have some sort of
11875s	Confidence from that previous map not
11877s	too much that you're able to find where
11879s	the Valiant guardian's weaknesses are
11881s	and start to take that space sniper was
11884s	a major part of that snazzler came up
11887s	with these shots that just completely
11888s	shut down the plan of the Valiant
11891s	Guardians this is going to be a huge
11893s	battle here on the map of coliseo only
11896s	fitting to do it just outside the
11898s	Coliseum
11899s	oh my gosh my battle cattle is on the
11903s	playing field sniper has locked in the
11906s	orisa I am excited
11909s	I uh sniper I really really hope you
11911s	find a lot of success on neorisa here if
11914s	you have to swap to JQ I totally
11916s	understand but please please let me see
11919s	some pristine horse
11921s	this is new for Washington Timeless I
11924s	there's not been a single Master
11924s	broadcast where I've seen sniper pull
11926s	out that erisa yet this is Washington
11928s	time let's go on off the book I
11930s	literally in my notebook have circled no
11932s	erisa like 50 times just to say this is
11935s	what I know about this team they haven't
11936s	been playing that comment the fact that
11937s	they're pulling out here now changing up
11940s	what they found success on in the final
11942s	moments is very interesting to me and
11944s	you have to have some sort of plan if
11946s	the Pope that Arisa has here is huge
11948s	sniper is good at this main tank at
11951s	least I would hope to see uh from the
11953s	player that's picking it up it's on a
11955s	map for situation where you have to win
11956s	in order to keep your hopes of a
11958s	championship alive and these fights and
11960s	calls out they go so slow nerdy bird
11962s	it's that first blow that's the one that
11964s	counts and it could be onto a better
11965s	player than or Amore here's Washington
11967s	Timeless they need to push the gold
11969s	pedal to try to come up with any other
11970s	eliminations they can get which is two
11972s	significant progress just from losing
11975s	that hitting that early loss out of the
11977s	way and this bot's gonna stay relatively
11979s	close to that center point until
11980s	everyone gets split and a significant
11982s	chunk of Prague Escape
11985s	I think Washington Timeless this
11987s	composition since the drop of era has
11988s	been pretty popular
11991s	um sometimes referred to and I also call
11993s	it the war of attrition composition it
11995s	allows for a lot of damage a lot of
11998s	opportunities to swing angles and get
12000s	out of said angles and we saw moving
12002s	fish start on doomfist and go oh heck no
12005s	you cannot play doomfist into that comp
12007s	unless you really like the respawn
12009s	screen and now Washington time is
12011s	pulling this cop out that I think
12013s	they've probably streamed on a lot but
12014s	didn't need to use it can be their Ace
12016s	in the Hole
12017s	oh
12022s	this whole game right now it's going so
12024s	well I mean the bar first time we're
12025s	seeing them on the ayati I wish I saw
12027s	this sooner that was just beautiful for
12030s	them to get that ultimate up so soon I
12031s	mean the momentum they have on their
12032s	side is a massive nerdy
12035s	okay I totally understand from our
12037s	perspective as casters yes I would have
12039s	loved to have seen this com come from
12040s	them earlier however so many teams have
12042s	played it so many of you can scrim it
12044s	right now that you some should at this
12047s	point know what they needed to do
12048s	against it and if you pull it out too
12050s	early you're revealing all your cards
12052s	just like using abilities in front of
12053s	enemies and so saving it for now might
12055s	have been the best thing to do however
12057s	we're seeing that pendulum ship those
12060s	olds being expunged the Lions
12062s	capitalizing on that gets in and
12064s	eliminates
12065s	three members and the other two just run
12067s	away
12068s	and honestly If You're Timeless you are
12071s	okay with that look how far that they
12073s	got good old Timmy the robot here to
12075s	push that barrier that is a massive
12076s	chunk of distance and they have plenty
12079s	of tools to start to make this comeback
12080s	and Valiant Guardians they're not going
12082s	to catch up to that anytime soon
12084s	unfortunately we uh didn't point it out
12087s	but we did see the swap off and go to
12089s	Lucio I get it full understand Lucio
12092s	provides a lot of utility whereas the
12094s	ERI play however relies on you taking
12096s	some of those duels locking nut angles
12098s	and you know playing to get those elims
12101s	whereas Lucio's more the facilitator now
12103s	you just gotta facilitate sniper on this
12105s	orisa coming up with this Terror surge
12107s	are we gonna combo it with something uh
12110s	oh that is it the rest of Team buys
12111s	himself to the whole lot of trouble to
12112s	teleport it looks good but
12114s	that's nasty surprise along with h key
12117s	that should not have worked Valiant
12119s	Guardians they had a plan but they
12120s	thought they would get Washington time
12121s	was better but no they were checking
12123s	their angles they saw the semester they
12124s	knew what was to come and reacted to
12126s	perfectly
12130s	poorly executed it happens they're going
12132s	to use window to maintain these forward
12134s	positions
12135s	and it looks like yeah okay snazzler and
12138s	orisa both posted up here down Bridge
12141s	however there's a lot of check marks on
12144s	the guardian side and the first one's
12146s	been used with not really picking up any
12148s	eliminations maybe forced out some
12150s	bathrooms
12152s	they forced out something I mean on
12153s	paper this is Valiant Guardians fight to
12155s	win which they're gonna go ahead and do
12157s	and do it for as the most minimal
12160s	investment that is possible and right
12162s	now they're gonna get so aggressive I've
12163s	been HP ends up going down and one still
12166s	lives to see another day which is kind
12170s	of crazy right now the Washington
12171s	Timeless there's bait Valiant Guardians
12174s	into a fight they were totally ready for
12177s	honestly bun I think went to 30 health
12180s	during that fight yeah don't know how
12183s	she lived but she did and there was a
12185s	lot of Q presses coming out from Valiant
12187s	Guardians they were staggered a little
12188s	bit but not enough because now they're
12190s	relying on this Rampage to which if the
12193s	Maller survives we'll have beat shift
12195s	and immoral all as options to counter it
12198s	and then when that Rampage happens if
12200s	bun has molten core online you carpet
12202s	The Zone where that JQ comes from
12205s	prevent the rest of the team from
12207s	aggressing into your front line
12208s	especially HD it's good night for that
12211s	for JQ in that instance well if it
12214s	didn't hit anybody without
12216s	it's oh no dirty bird they needed to
12219s	come up big that Rampage was their
12221s	chance to escape this portion of the
12222s	Coliseum but no they're gonna get more
12224s	the pillars pillars and even more
12226s	pillars right now and the sights of
12228s	their own spawn are just getting closer
12231s	amp speed from Lucio was I guess all
12234s	they needed to sustain through that
12235s	fight for Washington Timeless now they
12237s	have beat to use moving fish has given
12241s	up the ghost of JQ it's said it's time
12243s	to move on we're gonna go move to Sigma
12245s	and this is the swap you want to make
12248s	and if you do not want to do the war of
12250s	attrition mirror matchup especially when
12251s	you're already down ultimates we've seen
12253s	success with the sigma the grass was
12256s	forced immortality is forced it's two
12258s	major cooldowns though for Valiant
12259s	Guardians and moving fish goes down and
12262s	this is rough too because Washington
12263s	that was they got that capture Point
12265s	nerdy bird their chances of winning have
12268s	just skyrocketed right now if what
12270s	island Guardians are gonna make a
12271s	comeback it needs to start here and it
12273s	needs to start now but they're losing
12274s	oramori she got way too aggressive
12276s	straight into the sight lines of several
12278s	players who were just sitting waiting
12280s	and watching for that player to make an
12282s	error Washington Timeless they want this
12284s	comeback so so bad right now and they
12287s	are fighting tooth and nail for it
12289s	that is the second fight in a row that
12291s	we've seen era Mori go down first and it
12294s	comes down to a positioning and
12296s	understanding when you need to give up
12297s	space see we hope we don't see it happen
12299s	again but my only concern now is we've
12302s	finally gone to the borderline mirror
12303s	matchup of the war of attrition but too
12305s	little too late I think with three
12307s	minutes left and only a cup a handful of
12310s	meters left molten Court Terrace
12315s	right now snipers and snipers just get
12319s	picked up by triple kill they're
12321s	staggering out Halo for the hammer
12324s	oh just did her like that oh just the BM
12328s	the confidence Washington's unless they
12330s	have their sweat back this is what we
12332s	needed them to have they need just a
12334s	little bit of room to be given to them
12336s	they can make it work Valiant Guardians
12338s	they're sitting with their spawns
12340s	basically behind them and they gotta
12342s	find some way to come back because two
12343s	and a half minutes not a lot of time the
12346s	climb the mountain that they have been
12348s	knocked off time and time again and it's
12351s	not about to get any easier right now
12352s	couple eliminations going their way I
12355s	mean is a great start to go Halo doing
12358s	what she does best and with this he
12360s	already to try to turn it around but the
12362s	tank line has fallen bun is alive in
12364s	Washington's Timeless they are two
12366s	meters less than that and here it is
12369s	they cross the check mark nerdy bird we
12371s	are going to a map number five to decide
12374s	this and I wouldn't have it any other
12376s	way
12377s	okay I'm uh this is the the moment that
12380s	we can say we might have manifested that
12383s	one but right now we can enjoy moving
12385s	fish on JQ getting a play of the game I
12388s	mean I'm not moving fish getting potgs
12390s	at this point should not Shock anybody
12392s	the Jake you play is clean it's just the
12394s	counter play came out extremely strong
12396s	from the side of Washington Timeless and
12398s	worked out
12400s	it is one of the meta compositions War
12403s	of Attrition is painful it's really fun
12405s	if you get the right combos going and it
12407s	worked out seamlessly and I I I don't
12410s	always get to say this but it's like I
12411s	had that uh Suburban MLM mom moment of
12414s	if I manifest it and put it in the
12416s	universe it'll happen I requested a map
12418s	five and we are getting a map five
12422s	you know what I mean technically we both
12423s	requested it and here we are did we baby
12426s	catch the Chris Bellion I wouldn't say
12428s	that but I would say we we boosted up
12432s	the Timeless stocks right there I mean
12434s	they just took two maps off of a team
12436s	that was beating them at their own game
12439s	so far I mean they lost noon Bonnie a
12441s	map that they were just so good at
12443s	that's the first time that they went
12444s	down in that area and the fact of them
12446s	coming back on Flashpoint are like all
12447s	right we can just they gained that bit
12449s	of confidence and it all just exploded
12451s	at the Valiant Guardians all it comes
12453s	down to now is this final map of escort
12455s	which we we really haven't gotten to see
12457s	much at all throughout this whole
12459s	tournament it leaves such a big question
12460s	mark in terms of what wants to be run or
12462s	even what this selection could be right
12464s	now
12466s	I mean I'm excited for it honestly I
12470s	enjoy escort a little bit more because
12472s	it does demonstrate A team's ability to
12474s	have discipline understanding when they
12476s	have the advantage when they need to
12477s	give up space for now we can bask in the
12479s	glory that is all of these players of
12480s	their various pop-up moments we had X to
12483s	actually start out on that passion which
12485s	I wasn't
12486s	too confident in the Bastion play but
12488s	then this Wombo Combo those early
12489s	ultimates and this was after this
12491s	Mueller swapped off and went to went
12493s	over to the Lucio made sense but
12495s	combining captive sun with another alt
12498s	is a key to success and definitely
12500s	worked out for Washington Timeless we
12501s	can see here sniper coming in Tara surge
12503s	only picks up an immortality but then we
12506s	do see this a portal combat pickup
12509s	moving fish in another fight
12511s	and it that's kind of the thing is
12513s	ideally push his map of push and pull I
12516s	only saw the push from Washington time
12518s	listen Valiant Guardians they were
12521s	struggling at the beginning of this map
12522s	and they never could come back you give
12525s	up so much space you give up that
12526s	distance then well I don't really know
12528s	what to tell you you don't have anywhere
12529s	else to go when your backs are up
12531s	against the wall your hand is going to
12533s	be forced out
12534s	this is such an interesting series
12537s	moving forward I'm gonna put you on the
12539s	spot right here right so we've been
12541s	through this we're we're tied two to two
12543s	we've been investing in Washington
12545s	Timeless right now they're on the brink
12546s	of getting that reverse sweep who do you
12548s	think comes out on top of this map five
12552s	okay
12553s	based off of numbers alone
12557s	I have to say that it would be the
12558s	Valiant guardians but my heart of course
12561s	my heart and my brain always fight on
12563s	this sort of stuff because there's
12565s	players in the Washington Timeless that
12566s	I actually know and I want to see them
12569s	be very successful and so of course I
12572s	from my friendship perspective rooting
12574s	for Washington Timeless the statistical
12577s	analytical slash cold-bloodedness in me
12579s	is like yeah but the numbers don't lie
12582s	and you know Valiant Guardians have had
12584s	more success on control points so it's
12586s	like I want one thing and that would be
12588s	Washington Thomas to be successful and
12589s	win but on the other side the analytical
12592s	brain which normally wins out in this
12593s	instance and will I have to say that
12595s	probably Valiant Guardians are going to
12596s	be more successful here on on push well
12599s	sorry non-push on uh escort here
12602s	because I think they're just a little
12603s	bit more disciplined in some instances
12607s	well there you have it Valiant Guardians
12609s	the expected champion in the words of
12612s	nerdy Bird Ed you know what I'm sorry
12615s	I'm not disagreeing with you either this
12618s	is gonna be close it's gonna be down to
12619s	the wire it is so difficult to predict
12620s	who is going to come out on top and I
12622s	mean these players this is the moment
12624s	they're waiting for the hands are
12625s	sweating and you know what sometimes you
12626s	gotta go take a break wipe them off get
12628s	yourself set from number five which I
12630s	certainly need to take a breath myself
12631s	and be like oh we're gonna be there so
12633s	take a quick break five minutes is all
12636s	the distance it sets up between crowning
12638s	a champion for the calling all heroes
12639s	tournament so don't go any there we'll
12641s	see you on the other side

12944s	foreign
12954s	Miner 2 for the first time we are going
12957s	to a map number five to decide who will
12960s	become the champion take on those prize
12962s	points the money and of course the
12965s	bragging rights of being the champion of
12967s	this event nerdy bird I I think you can
12969s	speak with me on this when we wouldn't
12971s	have it any other way that getting down
12974s	to the absolute wire these teams they
12975s	push each other to the limits to get
12978s	them to this final point and we know for
12980s	a fact escort being the map choice no
12982s	more draws from here on out when all the
12984s	dust settles and clears we'll have our
12985s	clear Victor
12987s	most definitely and I mean if there is a
12990s	game to go the distance and yes there
12992s	has been some that have you know we've
12994s	they've really drawn out the series as
12995s	long as possible and gone to the
12996s	tiebreaker but for the championship to
12999s	go this far definitely demonstrates how
13001s	close these two teams are in skill it's
13004s	exciting from our perspective is casters
13006s	it's what you want it tells the story of
13009s	these teams and themselves in one single
13010s	series of how much they are fighting for
13013s	that championship title and in all
13015s	honesty the map that I believe we might
13018s	be going to I'm a little scared about
13020s	just because it can be absolutely
13023s	incredible or it can be really scary
13027s	it's like the only way to put it yeah
13028s	yeah I I have no other words than what
13031s	you just said it's an oddball
13033s	what point Gibraltar so basically what
13036s	I'm hearing from this map is forget
13038s	anything else that we've seen previously
13040s	in this series we're gonna play an
13042s	entire new type of OverWatch in our
13044s	fifth and final map to decide who the
13047s	champion is gonna be this is a weird one
13050s	it is Valiant Guardians pick they want
13052s	to play I'm assuming more of this
13054s	dive-esque style get moving fish on that
13057s	comfortable Comfort hero of either the
13059s	diva or the sigma you simply do not run
13062s	the Joker Queen on this map does not
13064s	work in most situations you can try to
13067s	force it but I don't want to see that
13069s	for the most part and
13070s	they're switching up the whole game
13072s	dirty bird at the very last second it
13074s	seriously hurts my brain to think about
13076s	I mean I'm here for it because yes while
13078s	Gibby does present the you know people
13081s	typically stand by globe on that L and
13083s	onto the bridge on defense you hold
13086s	there there are teams that will choose
13089s	instead to do a payload hold and based
13092s	off these comps we're not going to see
13093s	it but it wait wait no okay all right
13097s	there is an opportunity to swap up and
13100s	force fights on the payload one thing
13102s	I'm not seeing that I low-key
13104s	anticipated but can still happen just
13107s	based off DPS alone was to have a tracer
13111s	pushing payload while the rest of tune
13113s	goes for positioning and controlling
13115s	High grounds in this instance we might
13117s	see a Genji pushing and a Genji go-to
13119s	challenge payload and both of them kind
13122s	of in a stalemate until someone gives
13124s	one one Genji either a touch of healing
13127s	or gives one Genji a touch of damage
13129s	from the other side
13132s	it's just it's a Nerf battle it's really
13135s	what this is gonna be I mean between
13136s	snozzler and x10flow 2 top tier sniper
13140s	players when it comes to the world of
13142s	OverWatch I mean you're putting them on
13143s	a map where are you expecting them to
13145s	deliver X10 is expected to be the one to
13148s	get these first off eliminations and has
13151s	done it so far in this series and why
13153s	would this one be any different
13155s	already the trickiest part is getting
13157s	the payload through this under bridge
13160s	and kind of finding that spot where you
13162s	want to hold down and Valley of
13163s	Guardians they're relentlessly pushing
13165s	this car eventually it's gonna Force
13166s	titles his hands
13169s	it is almost completely through that
13172s	upper pass area and not a lot of time
13174s	was spent challenging the payload push
13177s	now we do have Valiant circling onto The
13180s	High Ground they've given up the cart
13181s	for a moment to get the positioning they
13184s	need and force Washington Timeless bet
13186s	to back off so they can continue to push
13188s	this payload forward what's interesting
13190s	is that we're running Orion with this
13193s	Anna brigitta composition whereas Halo
13195s	is on the Yari comp here and I'm I'm
13198s	just curious are we going to facilitate
13200s	Halo with that captive sun or is this
13203s	the brigitta that acts as a you know an
13206s	unmoving wall for their Anna gonna be
13208s	more successful
13210s	that's kind of the question here is
13211s	Washington Timeless they're certainly
13213s	playing a more defensive side on the as
13215s	you should be on the defense but they're
13217s	sacrificing a lot of space here which is
13220s	challenging in this Nerf battle that you
13222s	end up playing all the headshot is hit
13223s	but not enough charge to follow through
13225s	and moving fish going in doubt
13227s	eventually that sticker comes off bun
13229s	with the first two eliminations of the
13231s	game and we're already halfway through
13233s	this attack phase of Gibraltar
13235s	we are also two-thirds of the way to
13238s	that first objective which does add some
13241s	time but at the two minute Mark roughly
13244s	45 seconds per fight you're looking at
13246s	two and a half fights here for the side
13248s	of the Guardian to come out on top and
13252s	get this Lucky Block is already forced
13254s	we're going to hear
13256s	sites come out from X10 it's not not far
13259s	behind but this becomes scary for
13261s	squishies
13262s	it certainly does no but he wants to
13264s	peek their head around but with that
13266s	slightly later he slides from sasler
13267s	watching time also have the advantage
13269s	for just those couple of sessions
13270s	especially the Manifest beautiful sleep
13272s	though kind of holds that for the time
13274s	being but bun certainly not done with
13278s	hkey needs to prove who was the better
13279s	Genji and she has been doing so in these
13282s	past two maps for sure I mean Timeless
13284s	right now they're not taking many fights
13286s	because they don't have to Valiant
13288s	Guardians are sitting ducks just waiting
13290s	for X10 to do something for hkey to get
13293s	in there find an elimination neither of
13294s	which has happened and here they are
13296s	only a minute left on the clock they
13298s	don't have the positioning to really
13300s	make something happen unless snozzler
13302s	ends up going down Halo comes up with a
13304s	hero play and neither will happen
13306s	because one picks up another you make it
13308s	a third on the top she's coming alive in
13311s	the final moments darling Gardens are
13313s	about to be full held
13314s	one thing I really want to point out
13316s	here oh
13318s	sorry I'm so sorry that that stinks one
13323s	thing I want to point out here is
13325s	snozzar and this Widowmaker is taking a
13327s	lot of attention we actually saw before
13329s	that fight fully instigated that
13331s	snazzler dropped off The High Ground
13333s	after getting some chip Damage Done on
13334s	and done onto him drops and came back up
13337s	and actually used grapple shot saw
13340s	people going after their poor Widow body
13343s	and decided to jump back down and when
13345s	bun saw that bun turned and punished
13348s	those people that used cooldowns to get
13349s	rid of their Widowmaker and it ended up
13351s	working on swimmingly the question is
13352s	can they continue to do this they only
13353s	got to hold on for 14 more seconds
13356s	this whole little time right now but
13358s	Timeless is the best shot they have but
13360s	Dragon Blade and Orion just prepared to
13363s	just give her that Nana boost hoping
13365s	that she can once again be the hero for
13367s	this team and value Guardians they don't
13369s	have much to work with because it's all
13371s	fun heading into the back line kiss our
13373s	Amory out of the equation looking for
13374s	full support is doing it all right now
13378s	the payload though bun hanging on for
13381s	dear life and that is okay five meters
13384s	short the belly Guardians will find
13386s	themselves of the first objective they
13387s	just got full held nerdy bird that was
13390s	not on anybody's Bingo's cards today
13393s	score I don't know what bun did between
13396s	the last map and this map I don't know
13399s	if they went and what the dog gave a
13402s	kitty some love I don't know if they had
13404s	a snack well holy cow bun you were an
13407s	entirely different Beast this game on
13409s	Genji versus what we've seen today you
13412s	have opened up the third eye so to speak
13415s	here because you are being absolutely
13418s	insane on Genji I'm here for it I'm just
13422s	concerned because with that payload
13423s	being so close it's very little room for
13427s	error I mean yeah full holding is
13429s	fabulous but if you can full hold one
13431s	team that also means they can full hold
13433s	you but now there's a win condition it
13436s	didn't go all the way someone loses here
13438s	after this after that timer hits zero
13443s	oh like I'd watch Point Gibraltar if
13446s	you're gonna get full held I feel like
13448s	this is the map that you can get full
13450s	held on and continue to hold I can't
13452s	tell you I'm out at the watchpoint games
13453s	that I've played and just speed as a
13456s	Caster where this is the mark that is
13458s	set yes it seems very short but it's
13460s	also incredibly attainable the big
13462s	difference here that I want to see from
13463s	Washington Timeless though is that they
13465s	actually take fights think about how a
13467s	few engagements there actually were on
13469s	Valiant attack they spent so much time
13471s	sitting and waiting to regroup that they
13473s	got staggered they got picked off and
13474s	even when they took the fights they
13476s	didn't have an ultimate advantage and it
13478s	was a problem Washington titles they
13479s	were in control of the tempo and I
13481s	guarantee they're gonna keep that up
13483s	here and once again Guardians they're
13485s	going with this um on a composition and
13489s	that does worry me because that Brigida
13491s	able to provide protection for your Anna
13494s	is extremely powerful sustaining your
13496s	honor is so important in these fights
13498s	because Greg Inspire is not enough but
13500s	then also Halo Yari does not have a lot
13503s	of range on the healing no
13506s	not at all and I think that's gonna be
13508s	the main difference here is the baller
13510s	can support better at range but Halo has
13512s	that additional level of damage
13514s	essentially a third DPS on the field
13516s	which I do want to mention Valiant guard
13519s	is have a higher damage output xn is on
13520s	the soldier instead of the Widowmaker
13523s	right now which
13524s	I really did not expect to see happening
13527s	because you go the Widow to at least
13529s	occupy Now snazzler isn't afraid of too
13532s	much happening right now and they have
13534s	these sight lines essentially for free
13535s	and it's it's this is just where you
13538s	want to be as a Widowmaker player
13539s	Washington Timeless they're so focused
13541s	on getting uh the sniper some room to
13544s	work and you know they're gonna get the
13546s	pale of moving along as the process this
13549s	map continues to be that slow push
13551s	forward speeding for somebody to make
13552s	that error four for extender snozzler to
13555s	come up with that elimination none of
13556s	which have happened so far
13560s	snozzler being on the low ground here I
13562s	saw a Genji drop down into snozzler's
13565s	line of sight I really thought hkey was
13568s	going to be sent back to Squan the shot
13570s	did not land thankfully or that Genji
13573s	but now we have the Nano come out and
13575s	Viva is taking a nap
13580s	big support take it out from underneath
13583s	aggressive to Castle as ground to cover
13585s	all of the belly can't build it back up
13586s	themselves thankfully each team has to
13588s	sneak their way into the background
13590s	backline grab one yes that's less
13592s	pressure off of your shoulders but
13593s	you're gonna need a little more Halo
13595s	noses the ultimate Insight doesn't hit
13596s	yes Orion is tagged and going to go down
13599s	as a result this is Valiant Guardians
13602s	they started off down but the clutch
13603s	factor is coming in big
13607s	and the payload is not out of the most
13609s	difficult position to deal with just yet
13612s	it is coming up the hill of underpass
13614s	right now Valiant Guardians are in
13617s	control but sniper is chilling out by
13619s	mega pack not taking not getting focused
13621s	finally there's a little attention given
13624s	Diva but there's a Genji who goes after
13626s	the distracted support Halo is gone and
13629s	now Anna is the only Lifeline for the
13632s	side of the Guardian guardians but it's
13633s	hkey right now coming on up nanoblade in
13636s	sight this is the player to give the
13637s	resources to you occupy the tank D
13639s	Beckett but fun it's about
13641s	to be shut down that are so needed by
13645s	moving fish right now to keep Valiants
13646s	Guardians in the fight and Alive oh this
13650s	is crazy we're down to that final minute
13653s	nerdy bird this is it right now
13655s	Washington's time also gonna have one
13657s	more chance at this objective before
13660s	it's all over
13661s	I really hate to say this with snozzler
13663s	you needed to get yourself killed a lot
13665s	faster that took about seven seconds
13666s	that's an extra 17 seconds before your
13669s	team can get in for this fight this is
13671s	end all be-all it is we're relying on
13673s	rally and possibly now on to Rally to
13677s	create the ultimate raid boss or
13679s	Washington Timeless to be successful and
13681s	lock this one down a moving pitch was
13683s	self-destruct that is a complete Zone
13684s	off the payload it's gonna make things a
13686s	little bit rough
13688s	first Zone High Ground currently
13691s	occupied Washington Timeless made a
13693s	couple compositional swaps there they
13695s	don't have a lot of alt charge really on
13697s	their side right now I mean this rally
13698s	is going to be very helpful but you're
13700s	looking down the sights of X10 who's
13702s	vibing up in The High Ground knowing
13704s	that they have this overclock in sights
13706s	to is so difficult especially when the
13708s	payload has to be contested you have
13710s	nowhere to hide you need to be on that
13712s	objective in order to make something
13713s	happen it's on sniper to get up in the
13716s	face of those DPS players by the
13718s	eliminations there it is
13720s	we'll be coming out Washington Timeless
13722s	they're using the reason why they're
13724s	doing it quicker
13725s	they've got waited too long to act and
13727s	it is coming back and they both brutal
13729s	time you could possibly imagine it doing
13731s	so the slip comes through arabori is
13734s	down Valiant Gordy is their losing
13736s	player after player as Washington
13738s	Timeless they're just keeping the part
13740s	moving closer and closer to that line of
13742s	Victory they want that reverse sweep
13744s	they want the veggies ride dirty bird
13747s	and they're gonna get it through first
13748s	sweeping the undefeated Valiant
13751s	Guardians for their third ever Colonial
13753s	Heroes event championship
13757s	that was absolutely
13759s	incredible I am so glad that my brain
13762s	was wrong
13765s	I am
13767s	that was one heck of a rally made by the
13771s	side of Washington wow the odds not in
13775s	their favor the numbers not their
13777s	supports did some insane stuff you know
13780s	you don't always see a nano Diva but
13782s	when sniper's the nanodiva you better
13784s	turn tail and run sniper that was
13786s	incredible pulling out the 3K near the
13790s	end
13791s	holy cow I'm blown away oh wow
13794s	Washington Timeless on their own event
13797s	coming away with their third calling all
13799s	heroes Victory this organization of
13801s	Timeless one Majors one and two and
13805s	finally get that first uh Taste of the
13807s	minor Victory as well so this is an
13810s	organization that has been wildly
13812s	successful within the calling oh heroes
13814s	team and one of the most dominant I mean
13815s	we look at this Valiant Guardians on
13817s	paper strong roster came in undefeated
13820s	up until this point they haven't won
13823s	that Championship yet they got second
13825s	place in the previous minor event and
13827s	here they are second once again taking
13829s	that silver and that has just gotta hurt
13832s	you start off so strong you get those
13834s	two maps under your belt Just For It All
13836s	To Fall to Pieces because Washington's
13838s	Timeless know what they've been for they
13840s	fought through that lower bracket to get
13842s	themselves the Revenge run to this point
13844s	after going down to this team two times
13846s	they refuse to let it be a third
13849s	and honestly I think relying on you know
13853s	this classic combo this for Gita Anna a
13856s	support Duo that is extremely strong has
13859s	stood up a test of you know the various
13861s	changes that OverWatch 2 has gone
13863s	through relying on the classic so to
13865s	speak was a key to success here for
13867s	Washington Timeless because you know
13869s	that those two have a grotesque amount
13871s	of sustain they can keep each other
13873s	alive they'll protect one another all
13875s	that has to happen is you gotta come
13876s	your back Line's going to get is getting
13878s	dope you either trade or you heal around
13881s	Health packs and come back strong and
13883s	that's exactly what we'd see happen we'd
13884s	see these supports get Dove one of the
13886s	DPS or sniper would get the Nano and
13889s	they would just immediately go charging
13891s	into the enemy backline they said you go
13892s	after my supports you're going to be
13893s	ready for the trade
13895s	you know what this honestly was is
13897s	Valiant they decided that you know this
13900s	trucker quick cop we've lost the last
13902s	two maps on it we can't lose a third so
13904s	we're gonna change the game we are gonna
13905s	go to watch Point Gibraltar a map where
13908s	you can get moving fish on the Comfort
13909s	here world that Diva being just that a
13913s	completely blew up in their faces for a
13917s	dominant performance on the defense
13919s	getting that full hold and at the very
13920s	last second they're unable to stabilize
13924s	just because Bunn had some of the
13926s	strongest performances that we've seen
13928s	from her this entire event she really
13930s	showed up when it mattered most nerdy
13932s	bird and I'm so glad that we were able
13934s	to see that one today
13936s	I am too it was absolutely incredible
13938s	and as much as it does Sting to get
13940s	second place I mean Valiant they did an
13943s	incredible job they came in with a lot
13946s	of pressure being undefeated and having
13947s	to maintain that level of gameplay that
13951s	level of you know just we cannot lose
13953s	here no matter what whereas Washington
13955s	Timeless they can look at that and had
13958s	they come in second place but like we
13959s	had to work our way all the way through
13961s	the Redemption bracket to make it here
13962s	and that was one heck of a task and
13964s	being that far going that going that
13966s	distance you can walk away happy so
13968s	hopefully Guardians recognize the effort
13971s	that they themselves put in as well as
13973s	Timeless take it on take it on you know
13976s	the chin a little bit here recognize hey
13978s	we got second but we placed we did a
13981s	heck of a run and when you are first
13983s	place let alone undefeated first place
13985s	you get a huge Target on your back
13986s	people are looking at you they're gonna
13988s	try to pick apart your strategies as
13990s	much as humanly possible and I think
13991s	Washington time was just managed to do
13993s	that in time to bring them down at the
13995s	championship match
13996s	and I'm amazed of the compact that it
13998s	made the story that they're able to hold
14000s	of this combat I mean going down 2-0 I
14004s	did not think that this is where we
14005s	would currently be sitting with
14006s	Washington Timeless on top taking away
14009s	that third championship and you know we
14011s	get to hear about how this was all done
14012s	what went down behind the scenes in our
14015s	Championship interview coming up in just
14017s	a moment we got a Timeless a member of
14019s	the Timeless Squad coming on the mic
14021s	with us to get down and dirty into what
14023s	really went down in our grand finals
14025s	event this is something you don't want
14026s	to miss we'll see in just a bit

14214s	what an event the calling all heroes
14217s	minor 2 has a bad nerdy bird we've gone
14220s	through two weekends of exciting
14223s	action-packed games we got to finish our
14226s	Swiss stage we had all of our top 18 and
14229s	just now our finals wrapped up reverse
14232s	sweep in favor of Washington titles you
14235s	literally cannot get any more climatic
14237s	than that and I want to hear it from the
14240s	side of the players we have the Mahler
14242s	the main support star of Washington
14245s	Timeless here on the mic with us you
14248s	just reverse swept the team that nobody
14250s	has been able to beat all tournament I
14252s	mean you need to tell me like what was
14254s	the process what was going through the
14256s	head if anything at this point
14258s	uh there's there's a lot of emotions
14261s	that go through your head as you're like
14262s	trying to come back from a reverse sweep
14264s	I think somebody and you know when you
14266s	get to a time like this you have like 30
14267s	people in your voice Channel and
14268s	somebody said something about
14271s	um you know reverse sweeping starts with
14272s	a single bath and the entire voice
14273s	channel was like Boo shut up we don't
14276s	care
14277s	um because we all we all kind of knew
14279s	internally that like regardless of
14280s	whatever corny speeches or whatever we
14282s	could say there was a an internal
14284s	motivation that had to change in
14286s	everyone
14287s	um and it was a very
14289s	like strong and real feeling that felt
14292s	very unspoken where we just started to
14295s	have a lot of fun like if you looked at
14297s	the way that we were playing on coliseo
14298s	we were just having fun bun was giggling
14302s	around and trying to hammer kill people
14303s	on torb like we played better because we
14306s	we no long we removed that pressure from
14309s	ourselves and that felt really amazing
14313s	hmm tiny that kind of sounds like the
14316s	the mini soapbox moment I had before the
14318s	map started for our final series you
14320s	know it does strike a very similar time
14322s	coming out here
14327s	no sorry yeah
14329s	for context like I I said that like the
14332s	biggest thing is making sure that you're
14334s	enjoying yourself having fun and playing
14336s	to you the best that you can in that
14338s	moment
14340s	yeah and and we all we all talked about
14342s	how yeah we need to focus on our micro
14344s	sometimes when we change things we we
14346s	focus too much on the macro game we
14348s	focus too much on trying to make big
14349s	sweeping changes to how OverWatch is
14351s	supposed to be played
14353s	um and then we all had a moment where we
14354s	thought oh we need to win our ones we
14356s	need to not die and uh if we've lost a
14359s	fight go for trades
14361s	um and it worked pretty well the amount
14364s	of times where we would be down to fight
14365s	and I would look at the kill feed and
14367s	Bun would have killed two people and
14368s	started trades and it's like oh we could
14369s	start next fight up two people it was
14371s	amazing it was beautiful to watch
14373s	so I really want to talk about this
14376s	because it caught tiny off guard so
14380s	heavily the coliseo map yes you
14382s	mentioned you guys started having fun
14383s	but you pulled out the battle cattle it
14386s	made my day but this is the first time
14388s	on broadcast that we got to see you guys
14390s	run that war of attrition composition
14393s	and I just want to know like had you
14394s	guys been practicing that was it kind of
14396s	held back intentionally or was it just
14397s	like you know what this is a complian
14400s	joy it's fun we're not positive how
14402s	successful we'll be going up against
14404s	Valiant but you know let's give it a
14406s	shot so it was it like what was going
14407s	through your guys's Minds when you
14408s	picked that
14409s	so uh it is a comp that we've played
14412s	previously
14413s	um we were usually playing the droughts
14416s	Queen comp on uh uh previous rounds of
14419s	coliseo because we thought it would be
14420s	more optimal just against who we were
14422s	playing but we knew that we were good at
14423s	that comp we played it in warm up we did
14425s	really really well in warm-up and so in
14426s	our first match on stream
14428s	um we decided that we're not gonna play
14430s	it on stream because we don't want to
14432s	deal with Valiant watching that and
14434s	thinking about it and trying to figure
14436s	something out because if we play Queen
14437s	comp the entire set and then we come out
14439s	on on on this on this uh erisa poke comp
14442s	they're gonna have no idea what to do
14444s	um and that that was that was fun
14446s	because I've only played ellari like
14448s	four times in my entire life
14450s	um so it's like all right this is yeah
14452s	it's like all right or battle lose uh we
14454s	gotta we gotta start this reverse sweep
14456s	go like we got to keep the reverse sweep
14457s	going
14458s	um I gotta rock this uh time to you know
14462s	internalize whatever I've learned from
14465s	watching other players
14466s	um and and get good at this allari hero
14468s	and then we saw them make the adaptation
14470s	to simbastian which is really really
14472s	strong against what we were playing so I
14474s	decided to go Lucio and just amp the
14475s	team around the map and it was it was
14477s	pretty easy we I think I think we
14479s	outmaneuvered them
14480s	um both literally in game and
14482s	metaphorically in terms of what we were
14483s	playing
14484s	yeah
14485s	definitely the big brain play to hold
14488s	off on a composition intentionally so
14490s	that people can't Scout it and make
14492s	adjustments I like the mega meta
14494s	gameplay but my final question for me
14497s	before I hand it back over to Tiny is
14500s	talking about watchpoint Gibraltar just
14503s	going into the second half of that game
14505s	what was kind of the atmosphere in the
14508s	comms because you guys
14509s	full held
14511s	for your for defense on watchpoint and
14514s	honestly it got a little shaky at some
14516s	point but just that Anna and brigitta
14519s	composition that I saw from you guys as
14522s	you know a main support player I was
14523s	like I get it it's it's a solid backline
14527s	you have to protect your Anna and if
14529s	you're on a lives your team wins but
14531s	when you successfully pulled that off
14533s	what was going through your guys's Minds
14536s	uh everyone kind of at the same moment
14540s	said okay no one celebrate no one's here
14543s	no one no one do anything that could be
14545s	considered as celebration as a victory
14548s	we all internally you know we we we
14550s	focused on what we were doing because we
14552s	said there was like no one said it but
14555s	it was like if we lost right now this
14557s	would be
14558s	the worst tragedy to happen
14562s	um just ever
14564s	um so we all you know really just it was
14567s	a moment of like centering and focusing
14568s	no one said anything for probably 30
14570s	seconds
14571s	um like as we were selecting Heroes just
14573s	like
14574s	breathing you know getting our stuff
14576s	together and it was um you you could you
14578s	could cut the tension with a knife it
14579s	felt um but it was it was good because
14582s	everyone was here together nobody was
14584s	worried we were going to fail we just
14586s	knew it was a theoretical possibility
14588s	and we're all you know mentally going
14590s	through a checklist of what do we do to
14592s	make sure that doesn't happen
14594s	that is awesome to hear that you guys
14595s	were that focused on coming out on top
14597s	of this but that concludes my question
14599s	so tiny will be able to get her burning
14602s	questions answered here with you uh live
14605s	on broadcast and luckily I I yes I have
14608s	a long list but I was forced to pick
14610s	just one which makes me very sad because
14612s	I would love to hear from more of you
14614s	but I'm sure you also want to get back
14615s	and celebrate with your team as well
14617s	over this incredible Victory so my final
14619s	question is kind of has to do taking a
14621s	step away from the gameplay but more as
14623s	the events overall I mean you're a
14625s	player who's been competing in this
14627s	tournament uh not only this uh previous
14629s	installment but also in other uh calling
14632s	all heroes events in the past so I kind
14634s	of want to know what does the calling
14636s	all heroes tournaments what do those
14637s	really mean to you as a player on a team
14641s	um I think Collingdale Heroes is
14642s	something really beautiful because I've
14644s	um I've known that I was queer from a
14647s	very very young age
14649s	um and but I you know I I appear very
14653s	um you know CIS male so I don't often
14655s	encounter a lot of the same uh vulgarity
14658s	and bigotry that others do
14660s	um but I have seen uh uh calling no
14664s	Heroes be this amazing thing as as
14666s	people
14667s	discover who they are and choose to
14670s	compete in this event and feel welcomed
14672s	into this space and and you get to watch
14674s	people grow and change and evolve and
14677s	play in a tournament that allows them to
14679s	play well and showcase their skills and
14682s	it it's it's it's really it's it's
14684s	beautiful you get to you get to watch
14686s	people grow in real time seeing them
14690s	uh uh become you know who they want to
14693s	be and who they really are
14695s	um and I've always I I ever since
14697s	hearing about calling all heroes I've
14699s	always really uh valued it as something
14701s	that can uh expand
14704s	um you know women and marginalized
14705s	genders in a Competitive Gaming space
14708s	um because you see so many stupid
14709s	arguments on on Twitter and Instagram
14711s	about how people say oh you know well
14713s	you well well we need to separate them
14715s	because you know women and and these
14717s	people are bad at games because you know
14719s	men are intrinsically better at games
14721s	and it's like it's it's the stupidest
14723s	thing I've ever read Because when we
14725s	give people a space to compete and be
14727s	good
14728s	we saw what was it was like a 300
14730s	increase on in people joining path to
14732s	Pro from uh uh uh from calling all
14736s	heroes that's a that's amazing even just
14739s	that's that's just a beautiful thing to
14741s	see and
14742s	having a space like this you know shout
14745s	out to Pizza for making like calling all
14747s	heroes all happen she's the goat
14749s	um just a a phenomenal uh uh uh
14752s	environment to be a part of and if you
14754s	are on you know the the verge of
14756s	competing thinking about wanting to
14758s	compete
14759s	um 100 sign up for it uh more teams
14762s	means more tournaments and that's more
14763s	fun
14765s	I I don't think we could have said it
14767s	better ourselves to be totally honest
14768s	and
14770s	it really touched on the point that this
14771s	tournament breaks down those invisible
14773s	barriers that we don't see a lot of uh
14775s	people of marginalized genders competing
14777s	in these top level tournaments and
14779s	giving them that platform to play is
14781s	what killing all heroes is all about and
14783s	of course getting that champion earning
14785s	your prize for the day so you got five
14787s	thousand dollars to go home with which I
14789s	believe 22.50 total of your circuit
14792s	points as well and you know can't forget
14793s	the bragging rights either and after the
14796s	matches you guys just played today both
14797s	of them as are a matter of the fact they
14799s	are well deserved for you Mahler and the
14801s	rest of your team the Washington
14803s	Timeless Squad and you know I'm Gonna
14805s	Let You Go go ahead have a chat with
14807s	them enjoy this sweet taste of Victory
14809s	you guys have deserved it and you know
14811s	what we look forward to seeing you in
14813s	more of the colonial years events
14815s	thank you so much uh have a good rest of
14818s	your broadcast
14824s	absolutely
14826s	for this event both casting seeing these
14829s	players the passion that they have and
14831s	getting that chance to compete on a big
14833s	stage with a spotlight down on them and
14835s	all of these people here to support them
14837s	as well they're encouraging that they
14840s	want to see these people have a safe
14841s	space to come to have an opportunity to
14844s	compete in Esports and it is such a
14846s	beautiful thing to have and of course
14849s	shout out to Bailey for headlining this
14852s	whole project getting these pieces into
14854s	play here and you know Shenandoah
14856s	University for pitting that production
14858s	down into place is the reason we're able
14860s	to get everyone on the broadcast and on
14863s	to all of these wonderful channels
14864s	without every single person that has put
14866s	in the hard work to be at this point and
14868s	nerdy bird we're at the point where we
14871s	have to say goodbye now as sad as that
14872s	makes me I know that there will be
14874s	plenty more of colonial Heroes
14875s	tournaments in the future so be sure to
14878s	stay tuned because there's not the end
14880s	of calling out Heroes and we'll see you
14882s	on the next broadcast
14903s	foreign
14964s	[Music]
