1079s	rumors some Rumblings out there word on
1081s	the
1082s	street word on the street now uh another
1085s	word on the street that we picked up
1087s	earlier this year when we you know
1088s	showed you the road map of uh
1090s	competitive OverWatch this year some
1093s	people were worried because right after
1094s	this major event there was a little Gap
1097s	but fear not uh we're just getting
1099s	started because before owcs returns we
1102s	got faed Leakes and of course also the
1104s	Esports World Cup to keep everyone busy
1107s	and hyped up so we will in RI this July
1110s	to find out which team will be getting
1111s	the Big B $1 million us on the line and
1115s	we already have some teams locked in but
1117s	uh we'll know more as we play through
1119s	this major because the first place team
1121s	unlocks an extra spot for their region
1124s	Johnny yeah some extra sticks on the
1125s	line here not only of course do you want
1127s	to win this tournament for your team but
1129s	also if you win it for your region that
1131s	region earns an extra slot at the
1134s	Esports World Cup so if you're if you're
1135s	a North American team you can earn
1137s	yourself an extra slot here and
1139s	everyone's waiting with baited breath of
1141s	course like please turn on rant come on
1143s	please get this extra slot for us that'd
1145s	be huge so of course some extra stuff on
1146s	the line here for the teams right it's
1148s	got to you got to do it for the homies

1172s	competition and we somehow won our
1174s	qualifier and made it to the the pro
1176s	division to play against Toronto defiant
1178s	which feels a little out of place
1179s	frankly for for our level of investment

1331s	now let's get into the nitty-gritty into
1333s	all the action because what we doing
1335s	here we're playing games let's once more
1337s	show the bracket to take a look at the
1339s	matches which you can expect from today
1342s	as we said it's a clean double
1344s	elimination bracket but we got some
1346s	bangers right to start things off with
1349s	oh man all day it's just going to be
1351s	packed with action and of course there's
1352s	a lot of matches taking place uh on the
1354s	Beast as well we'll get to that but in
1356s	this one I mean Falcons versus ends to
1358s	kick us off boy are we lucky I mean
1361s	everyone's been waiting for this right
1362s	the class of regions to see the the best
1364s	teams from Asia from Korea competing
1367s	against the rest of the world I think
1368s	everyone's a little scared of the Korean
1369s	teams for good reason they they look
1371s	like some of the strongest teams here
1372s	but you know ends with a lot of storyed
1374s	players as well going to put up a a very
1375s	stiff competition yeah I mean it's a
1377s	clash of region a clash of styles
1380s	perhaps as well because each those
1382s	regions and teams have' been serving up
1384s	different looks now speaking of serving
1386s	different looks I thought since we're
1388s	here in Dallas Texas it's time for a
1390s	good old potlock oh yeah that's right is
1394s	that why that's right we we going to
1396s	we're going to have a good guess at what
1398s	we think our different regions are
1400s	serving up and since we are in Dallas
1403s	Texas let's start with the na region
1405s	Johnny what are you serving today well
1408s	if people want to Taste of North America
1410s	uh I mean there's no better place to
1412s	start uh than with some Texas Cuisine of
1415s	course so I got some I got some Del Jake
1417s	I need your I need a hand here I need I
1419s	need a hand you got you digging in yeah
1421s	so I'm going to dig in here
1423s	so like this is the best Texas has to
1426s	offer like I love this stuff now if
1427s	you're curious what Texas what North
1429s	America's can bring out I mean they can
1430s	bring out anything people underestimate
1433s	the diversity of cuisine in North
1435s	America so Winston rarra someone I claim
1438s	Us North American so you can see
1440s	whatever tank you possibly want here but
1442s	also students of the game with infected
1445s	I mean infected can play all kinds of
1447s	Tanks wrecking ball ratra Winston so if
1451s	you root for North America you're really
1452s	rooting against one tricks any any
1454s	dirty1 tricks out there no that's right
1456s	there's no dirty1 tricks out there it's
1458s	all about diversity that is North
1459s	America to you oh these ribs are
1461s	delicious thank you I'm going to let you
1463s	eat Johnny you you you enjoy those ribs
1465s	for me I got to talk about as as the
1467s	only Korean speaker on the desk sorry
1469s	Danny see you soon but I had to bring
1472s	out some of my one of my all-time
1474s	favorites we got some Korean Fried
1476s	Chicken baby there's nothing better
1478s	there's nothing better for my and this
1479s	is about pure quality this is about pure
1481s	enjoyment no one's listening to you
1483s	Johnny this is about just pure skill and
1486s	pure talent which is what we're going to
1488s	see from these Korean squads it's just
1491s	the highest level OverWatch out there
1492s	Perfection Simplicity they do it better
1495s	than anybody else I mean Falcons crazy
1497s	raccoons these are the think about in
1499s	the past in the OverWatch League these
1500s	are two of the best teams of all time in
1503s	OverWatch history there's never been
1504s	rosters this strong assembled in the in
1507s	anywhere in the world from any region
1509s	and so to see I mean players like lip
1511s	Shu Smurf hanin players are just the
1514s	very very top of the game on these fully
1516s	stacked rosters I think the rest of the
1517s	world is frankly a little bit scared to
1519s	go even with these teams is a massive
1521s	achievement to beat them in a match I'm
1524s	not sure anyone anyone from any other
1525s	region can do it these are the best in
1527s	the world all right okay okay like both
1529s	of you making some good arguments here
1531s	some good points you know I can get them
1532s	board with that but I want to talk about
1535s	the tayor all the time H you know this
1537s	is a recipe that has been passed down
1539s	for Generations there nothing wrong with
1542s	a good simple
1546s	classic I'm not going to dig in just so
1548s	you know take a bite I no I'm I'm good
1551s	I'm good for now but you know this is a
1554s	a European delicacy if you will because
1556s	we're going to rely on Simplicity we're
1559s	going to go back to the brawl we're
1561s	going to go back to the rush this is
1562s	what EMA happened oh no he's oh no oh
1567s	Johnny oh no hey under normal
1569s	circumstances it would have dug in but
1570s	we actually got that yesterday and I'm
1572s	not going to eat one day old beans but I
1574s	actually I I went to the historical
1577s	records I dug up some like actual
1580s	historical proof ancient footage this
1583s	guy out there in the front line put a
1586s	stepo filter on it as well because it's
1588s	D old listen EMA has been playing Brawl
1591s	for as long as I can think and it's
1594s	always worked and you know what they've
1596s	never dropped it we're still serving the
1598s	same looks here and there I mean heck
1600s	Hardy might even still pick up a
1602s	Reinhardt it doesn't really matter what
1604s	the meta tells him to do Hardy just does
1606s	it anyway I think they've looked good
1608s	they look clean it's also something that
1610s	the other regions will most likely
1612s	expect from EMA so I'm going to be very
1614s	excited to see how it will be staking up
1616s	to a dive or to anything El else that na
1620s	or um the Asian region may possibly
1624s	throw nothing wrong it's the best way to
1627s	play OverWatch any rinard fans out
1630s	there that's right it's all about the
1633s	rinard love it great job we do love it
1635s	we do love it I'm a Winston enjoyer you
1638s	can't take that you can't take that away
1639s	from me no I'll Reinhardt forever that's
1642s	right I now that's what we've been
1643s	cooking up for the regions but what do
1646s	we know we're just analysts we like the
1648s	players speak for themselves as they
1650s	take into the stage is going to be very
1652s	excited to see a first International
1654s	competition kicking things off now let's
1656s	start to talk about those first matches
1658s	of the day that's right matches plural
1661s	because we already said we got a few
1663s	coming your way and that's why we have
1665s	two streams happening simultaneously so
1668s	make sure to tune in to both of them and
1670s	not miss any of the action that we've
1673s	got space station gaming versus students
1674s	of the game and ends uh coming up so
1677s	let's actually set up the EMA versus na
1680s	battle first before they head over to
1683s	the uh second stream for us space
1685s	station gaming now they've had quite a
1688s	run already in owcs I mean they came
1690s	fourth in the uh first M uh Main Event
1693s	now in the second main event that
1695s	potentially showed us some of the best
1698s	competitive OverWatch that we have seen
1700s	this year it was an incredible final
1703s	against ends and they took it so they
1704s	came first what a glow up for this team
1706s	I think funny Astro has to be looked at
1708s	as as a really key member coming into
1710s	the squad with I think some of the best
1712s	Lucio player in the world I think
1713s	there's a very serious arguments we made
1715s	that he is the best Lucio player in the
1716s	world and who better to be on a European
1719s	team that absolutely lives for this hero
1721s	um behind him got players like sparker
1723s	who is has looked at his very very best
1726s	especially on the Cassidy in recent
1728s	metas and so I'm really really excited
1729s	to see what this team can bring and
1731s	whether yes of course we all know hotti
1733s	as a Ryan player but he can bring out
1734s	the raaj he can bring out the Winston
1735s	they've got the flexibility you've
1737s	brought psycho into the squad dive they
1739s	can handle whatever they need to as much
1741s	as we love to see their Rush their
1742s	unique strategies they can play whatever
1744s	they need yeah and I think that is the
1745s	crucial point right that in pretty much
1747s	all of those highlights they were
1748s	actually playing Winston compositions
1750s	and psycho was playing that Tracer right
1751s	so that is going to be a key uh for
1753s	victory for this space station team is
1755s	now in international competition can
1757s	they actually match some of these teams
1758s	playing the Winston competition I love
1760s	The Confidence from psycho if you
1762s	remember in that stage finals psyo said
1764s	hey coach Christopher put me in like I
1767s	want to play the game and the lar it up
1769s	in map seven right so space station of
1770s	the game Space Station gaming rather
1772s	they're here to play a lot of different
1773s	competitions they're not just R out one
1775s	yeah now on the other side though we are
1777s	looking at potentially the youngest
1780s	roster we actually have taking this main
1783s	stage here uh of course there are some
1785s	well-known faces on that lineup as well
1788s	they've impressive thus far I think
1790s	students of the game have been one of
1791s	the most impressive stories certainly in
1793s	the North American region uh in the last
1795s	few months they've had a huge come up a
1797s	lot of these players have been EXC
1798s	exciting prospects for years but finally
1800s	they've come together Cal brought this
1802s	team together and they've really been
1803s	having an incredible run of success
1805s	players like PGE and scissors hitting
1807s	their Peak on DPS infected has been a
1809s	tank player that I've just been I mean I
1811s	think a lot of people have been just
1812s	waiting for this guy to become old
1813s	enough to actually be able to compete
1814s	he's been at this level for a long time
1817s	if you've been playing the rank ladder
1818s	you've been seeing him at the top for
1819s	years and years so very very threatening
1822s	competitive team here they are going up
1824s	against the best team from Europe right
1826s	now and so this is going to be a tough
1827s	test for students of the game I think
1828s	they are The Underdogs but they've
1830s	always been The Underdogs I don't think
1831s	they're scared to be in that position
1832s	and I think they're going to bring a lot
1833s	of heat in this match yeah exactly I
1834s	mean you're playing against a lot of
1836s	veterans here on this stage right so if
1837s	you're students of the game you're young
1839s	you got tons of potential you're just
1840s	hungry to get this stage experience
1842s	right and there's no pressure on these
1843s	guys to come out and actually win right
1845s	they're The Underdogs they're going to
1846s	go out have a great time and they have
1847s	tons of potential yeah lots of potential
1850s	not that much pressure of course when
1851s	you're the underdog but also they're
1853s	rocking those story lines you know and
1855s	one of the players who's uh been a
1857s	storyline ever since he's been around
1860s	the scene has got to be Rack Attack he
1863s	he's he's rocking that plot armor
1864s	everyone right can can we do it for Rack
1867s	Attack is this finally the time he's not
1869s	just showing up with fan support he's
1870s	showing up with a mom buff as well we

2014s	phenomenal support pairings we've seen
2016s	in the rush comp at for anywhere in the
2018s	world this season sparker hitting his
2020s	Peak on DPS hit scan and with psycho
2022s	coming in they've really added a layer
2024s	of flexibility and a potential to take

2043s	g The Underdogs of owcs stas it has to
2046s	be said students of the game is a young
2048s	team packed with Talent with their first
2050s	opportunity to fulfill their Destiny
2052s	here at
2055s	Dallas wait a minute what oh my god did
2060s	I just see that the NRG
2063s	sh yeah forget about it's energy nowr

2074s	Space Station gaming here we are so back
2078s	we're so back so back love to see it I
2082s	can't this means so much for these guys
2083s	you know to be coming here as the
2085s	Underdog Story and to be able to go up
2086s	against space station gaming now with
2088s	the backing of NRG shock I mean this is
2090s	an incredible story for OverWatch
2091s	Esports I think this means a ton to
2093s	these guys I think this is a huge
2094s	opportunity for them and maybe now add
2096s	some pressure Right add some of that
2098s	intensity now now I think they really
2100s	want to go further they're not just an
2101s	underdog anymore yeah it's not a scrappy
2104s	five stock anymore now they're repping a
2107s	legendary name shock on their shirts
2110s	let's see what's in the cards for them
2112s	here I definitely did not have this one
2114s	on my bingo card how about how about you
2117s	J NE you get to cast all the action
2120s	thank you very much so yeah there
2122s	nothing better than seeing PGE in a shot
2124s	Jersey I don't think anybody thought it
2126s	was going to happen but thank thank the
2128s	Lord it did yeah so excited to see these
2130s	players get this big shot especially
2132s	here on the big stage and we cannot wait
2134s	to see how they're going to do it and
2135s	maybe NRG can get PG A new mouse pad
2138s	after this maybe we'll see uh yeah I
2141s	would think that they could afford that
2142s	now yeah you hope so so desk take it
2145s	away thank you so much of course we will
2148s	be keeping Taps on that match as well as
2151s	we're also covering yet another match
2154s	let's talk about it because uh this one
2157s	this one's getting me really EXC excited
2158s	as well and we get to see that cross
2159s	region play we get to see a look at team
2162s	Falcons and also at ends to see how
2164s	they're stacking up against one another
2166s	now if looking at ends here first that
2168s	team they've been very consistently
2169s	performing in stage one as well in stage
2171s	two def finding themselves in that top
2173s	three spot in the faced league as well
2176s	how how will they stack up against team
2178s	Falcons though do they have a chance I
2180s	mean these are incredibly storied
2181s	players some of the highest performers
2183s	we've seen in in all of of OverWatch
2185s	history coming out of the European
2187s	region and they're all together on one
2188s	Squad but they haven't found that
2190s	victory that I think they've been
2191s	chasing and to be going up against
2192s	during the first round against Falcons
2194s	orts one of like I said one of the most
2196s	stacked OverWatch teams we have ever
2198s	seen this is a scary match up in round
2201s	one even for experienced players yeah
2203s	and one thing to mention here as well
2204s	Chase is not with them here at dreamhack
2206s	Crimson now officially their uh head
2209s	coach so I'm very interested to see what
2211s	they're bringing to the stage actually
2212s	we had a chance to catch up with him so
2214s	let's see what they had to say
2218s	one two
2221s	three Mitch lley here with Matt Mella
2223s	we've managed to Wrangle a number two
2225s	seed from the EMA region it is ANS and
2229s	we're here to find out if it is indeed
2230s	too easy for an I'm sure you guys have
2232s	watched you know uh an Anda pack how
2235s	have they played are there any teams
2236s	that you're kind of uh excited to see
2238s	here uh students of the game I want to
2241s	see if they can actually win them
2243s	up who's the worst traveler out of you
2246s	who would definitely get lost if they
2247s	had to do it on the right Kev what do
2249s	you mean that was a quick answer F that
2252s	was a quick answer how does that make
2253s	you feel defense this is
2256s	bull what's your journey been like
2259s	obviously having been a player for many
2260s	years into a a coaching role I was
2263s	always kind of like very active in terms
2264s	of like strategy and stuff like that so
2266s	it's something that I've always been
2267s	interested in and honestly like moving
2269s	into like the coaching role now it feels
2271s	very natural to me like kind of like
2272s	gather the troops and like create ideas
2274s	like create things out of thin air like
2276s	start to cook and stuff like that how's
2278s	he been as a
2280s	coach
2282s	really really would you guys say that
2285s	you're like a more like low energy
2293s	team I want you all to point to who you
2295s	think is the best player on the team 1 2
2300s	3 I like these we kind of we're kind
2304s	ofit yeah I like that I think Falcons
2307s	said that they felt that you guys were
2309s	one of the weakest opponents to take on
2311s	at this event I think it's funny for
2313s	them to say that when despite all the
2315s	resources they have they almost didn't
2316s	make it here so it's pretty funny I mean
2320s	I see them as pretty weak as well here's
2322s	what we're doing we're we're Lassing
2323s	we're going to get one of these chairs
2325s	and you guys get a couple tries this one
2327s	here to get the freaking lasso on one of
2329s	the poles right yeah lasso lass lasso is
2333s	that he said lasso oh is it lasso
2338s	a oh my
2340s	goodness look at
2348s	this wait how are you supposed to let
2350s	all the whole thing yeah yeah you go
2353s	look at that
2360s	slack oh that's easy maybe you should
2362s	make it longer that's all we've got time
2364s	for it thank you so much guys for
2365s	joining us I'm sure that was you guys
2367s	all look like you had the time your
2372s	lives it's been great dealing this with
2374s	you see you guys out
2376s	there yeah sparkling personality is
2379s	really coming through here for for SCH
2382s	that hurt me that hurt I Honestly though
2385s	that lasso is not very conducive to
2387s	lassoing I I it was very it was a
2389s	struggle I'm that was a rough time was
2392s	right MIT Mitch managed so there's hope
2395s	there was hope is there hope for this
2396s	team though let's talk about it
2397s	obviously they talking the talk here
2399s	they don't consider Falcons that strong
2401s	according to crimo is he just is he just
2404s	yapping or is he this serious copia I
2407s	mean Falcons might be you know you can't
2410s	be scared of your opponent you got to
2411s	come in confident and so I I admire that
2413s	they're not scared these guys are are
2414s	really strong players individually they
2416s	can definitely bring it however I mean
2418s	team Falcons is one of the strongest
2419s	rosters we've ever seen and I I think
2421s	it's important to recognize like these
2422s	teams like Falcons crazy raccoon you
2424s	could put these guys up against
2426s	OverWatch League champion rosters of
2428s	previous years these guys clear look at
2430s	this you got proper and stalker I mean
2432s	proper is the most exciting DS player
2434s	rookie that we've seen come in in years
2436s	continuing to grow as a player stalker I
2438s	think one of the best tracos in the
2439s	world Smurf and hanen are you tanks I
2441s	mean that's disgusting either one of
2443s	these guys could be the one of the best
2445s	tanks in the whole world solo I'm
2447s	terrified of that backline
2449s	ferio everybody
2451s	knows that's one of the most stable
2453s	backlines you can have out there one of
2455s	the most consistent performers in the
2456s	world they know every C of the game I
2459s	mean this team there's no limits on them
2461s	right like yeah you just you can't know
2462s	what they're going to bring you can't
2464s	know what they're going to play the only
2466s	only thing you can expect is to be
2467s	surprised and I'll played oh hey copium
2470s	uh they weren't the best team in Asia
2472s	that was Grace raccoons and also kevster
2475s	keer is pretty good at the game Jake so
2477s	I mean maybe if kevster Peaks at the
2479s	right time here in Dallas individually
2482s	he could maybe match some of the players
2484s	here on team Falcons and that could give
2485s	you a leg up right we don't expect come
2487s	in as this team that is really versatile
2489s	and pay a l dive that's not what Thea
2491s	does Thea he slows things down he plays
2493s	the brawl compositions maybe we'll see
2494s	some Sigma being played there's some
2496s	good Sigma maps in the pool right that
2497s	is the key for success for this NC
2499s	sports teams you can't just play
2501s	Falcon's game you have to play your own
2503s	game and Force Falcons to be
2504s	uncomfortable and I mean keep in mind
2506s	guys that here if you're losing this
2509s	first map you actually get to pick the
2510s	next map not just the M but also the
2512s	game mode that surely can come in clutch
2515s	yeah so the format here we're bringing
2516s	this in from we only seen this in the
2518s	Asia region but I'm a huge fan of this
2519s	format I think it's very very good for
2521s	the scene because you lose that first
2522s	map on control you can take it anywhere
2524s	else in the map pole you can go to any
2526s	of the next four modes any map you want
2528s	to bring out and so there's a huge
2529s	chance even if you take a loss in map
2531s	one you get the win in your sales
2532s	whatever strategy you're most confident
2534s	in you're most prepared for you bring
2536s	that out next so there's a really good
2538s	chance we'll see more and more games
2539s	going deeper going to game five and yeah
2542s	you might end up on some of the same
2543s	Maps but I can tell you from a player
2544s	perspective it's a huge difference to
2546s	get a win under your early in the series
2548s	tie things up one1 that's a game changer
2550s	that can really put wind in your sales
2552s	and even if you go back to your
2553s	opponent's map pick you know that you
2555s	know you can beat
2558s	them reinforce GRE I'm sorry in face
2562s	well I'm I'm very excited I I can't wait
2564s	to see where they take us here after the
2566s	control map also who's going to come out
2567s	on top it's enough from us here at the
2570s	desk it is time to meet our team so
2572s	Danny please take it
2574s	away thank you so much soe dream MC
2576s	Dallas Give It Up for your first team
2578s	it's team
2581s	[Applause]
2585s	Falcons time to conquer in 2024 CH and
2589s	fielder one of the most legendary
2590s	support lines in the game and they'll
2592s	lean on them for a good foundation to
2593s	set up proper and stalker to succeed
2596s	proper the 2022 World War League MVP
2598s	alongside stalker a 2023 damage rollstar
2601s	spear heading to front line is Smurf and
2602s	been the most versatile than you the
2604s	game has ever seen this Falcons team won
2607s	set for anything other than first here
2608s	in Dallas and it's Stars versus
2612s	ends and their opponents everybody makes
2615s	some noise for
2621s	team the best European roster we've seen
2624s	assembled in pure name value they may
2627s	not have seen quite the success they
2628s	they've hoped for quite yet but they're
2630s	gunning for that first place spot
2631s	they're gunning for that first
2632s	championship for European OverWatch here
2634s	in the OverWatch Champion series you got
2636s	Kai and kepster
2637s	I can't really think of a stronger
2639s	European DPS line but stole up coming
2641s	off an incredible performance in the
2642s	world cup and then the backline with
2644s	stable main support and an incredibly
2647s	high potential FX supporting ghost that
2649s	we haven't quite seen much of yet but
2651s	he's a guy I've been really excited for
2652s	everything I've seen from him has been
2653s	very impressive especially that
2658s	Baptist song choice on point
2665s	though it's great to be here 2016 was
2669s	the
2671s	last OverWatch that is a heck of a long
2673s	time ended in a best of five when
2675s	Misfits beat fanatic 3 to2 much has
2677s	changed since then we also look a lot
2679s	older but we're still just as thrilled
2681s	to be back seeing some OverWatch at
2682s	dream hack Matt here I mean it's going
2684s	to be awesome right uh International
2686s	competition is something we all love in
2688s	the OverWatch Esports scene so uh to get
2690s	the first taste of it this year really
2692s	to kind of kick off right International
2693s	competition as we moved to ewc and then
2695s	later in the year uh it's really awesome
2698s	where uh we got a first match with you
2700s	know obviously Falcons know their roster
2702s	so stacked going up against the second
2704s	best team in Europe crimo was sort of
2706s	been on records saying he feels like
2708s	this kind of matchup is a clash of ideas
2710s	because now that we've kind of
2712s	regionalized a lot of our OverWatch
2714s	competition we've had our separate metas
2716s	start to churn in these separate regions
2718s	where we had information flowing in
2720s	between them a little bit but when we
2721s	come together like this it's like a
2723s	Melting Pot of these different styles
2725s	these different takes and both these
2727s	teams disagree on the best way to play
2729s	OverWatch right now which makes for a
2731s	compelling matchup yeah you wouldn't
2732s	guess it by our interview uh with ens
2734s	but they are actually pretty confident I
2736s	know coming into this uh pretty quiet
2738s	group uh but extremely focused coming
2740s	into this match where they feel like if
2742s	they can force their play style know
2744s	into this series which with a know
2746s	different format right if you end up
2747s	losing you can select the map in the
2749s	mode you can definitely start to force
2751s	your play style on opponent massive by
2753s	way that they can make a dent in this
2755s	series and really give Falcons a run the
2757s	one important part to to bear in mind
2759s	about that though is that the first map
2760s	and map type is pre-selected it's
2763s	predetermined so coming into the game
2765s	you kind of know what that is but there
2766s	are definitely some maps and modes that
2768s	will favor particular teams for example
2771s	n has a very distinct style it's
2773s	something that's been you know worked on
2775s	in the European region a lot it's a lot
2777s	of those braw comps the desk roted
2778s	upright it's a lot of Sigma ratra based
2781s	compositions especially a team as well
2782s	with Vista now as that tank player
2785s	without the option of course to bring
2786s	Chase in you know we're going to see
2788s	concept work a little bit more around V
2789s	stoler's hero pool which was very much
2792s	more that static approach we did see V
2794s	for a while on the diva as well but
2795s	these guys want to play Ram they want to
2797s	play sik I mean look yeah Mas on the
2799s	team right legendary Lucio player uh
2801s	ghost a little bit newer you know I
2803s	think to you know maybe some people at
2805s	home right in terms of uh his play at
2808s	SRP check so previously yeah no no huge
2811s	sort of lineups has he been a part of
2813s	but they want to play Lucio bapti setups
2815s	mostly right but I think one thing they
2817s	kind of mention on the desk right is
2818s	like you have Kai and ker like there's
2821s	an opportunity for them to take over a
2823s	series right like they're that good of a
2825s	duo in terms of damage dealers can we be
2827s	real though we of time talking about end
2829s	s Falcons come out look like an
2831s	absolutely terrifying roster these are
2834s	Champion literal champions of yester
2836s	year and I find it interesting to say to
2838s	hear rather that the end felt that this
2840s	team was kind of beatable The Whispers
2843s	have been that the scrims have been a
2844s	little bit silly uh and also some people
2847s	said maybe rosters like Falcons
2849s	sandbagging just a little bit in those
2851s	scms giving a bit of a false sense of
2853s	security to some of these other teams
2854s	which would inform why teams like in
2857s	come in feeling like they can definitely
2858s	take down a team like this but on name
2860s	value you've got to be terrified of
2862s	Falcons well typically we'll you know
2865s	have a have a stage and then go straight
2866s	to an event right but we've had some
2868s	time off right everybody kind of cooking
2870s	up different strats in their region uh
2873s	where nobody really kind of knows what
2875s	you're going to see this weekend teams
2877s	get here they start scrimming against
2878s	each other what they had planned maybe
2880s	isn't working as well and they want to
2882s	change things up so it'll be exciting to
2883s	see what teams have decided on Dre M
2886s	Dallas makes some noise it's time to get
2888s	started here with our owcs
2891s	major Falcons and it's it's your asan
2895s	number
2896s	two Clash of styles a clash of ideas
2900s	let's get it on so like you talked about
2902s	right for INS you're going to play know
2904s	Bola primarily on that Sigma TR and play
2907s	with Lucio Baptist bat line uh they'll
2909s	have a Cassidy Tracer kind of around
2912s	thatsy psych but uh for Falcons right uh
2916s	they they have a MAA in play Hanzo as
2919s	well uh something we've kind of
2923s	heard right maybe we see some Hanzo
2925s	maybe we see some Far uh MAA still I
2928s	know regardless of what happens to him
2930s	seems to be pretty strong so the the
2933s	conversations from a lot of our teams
2935s	especially in the leadup to an event
2936s	like this have been some days we feel
2938s	like The Meta throughout scrims has been
2940s	extremely diverse there's been a lot of
2942s	different options and then some days
2944s	everyone is playing malga Venture in
2946s	fact sometimes during scrims
2949s	when Venture and sort of try and make
2951s	that work so that is definitely a
2953s	combination you should expect to see
2955s	more of and if you've been watching uh
2957s	the face it league right now uh you know
2959s	I think like Commander X for example is
2960s	like covering that over on his YouTube
2961s	channel T sort of get in there and check
2963s	it out we've seen a lot of far a lot of
2965s	far compositions uh there's a great
2967s	story behind that when we get to the m
2968s	match I want to talk about that CU yeah
2970s	very funny how that came about so you
2972s	know any given consensus on what the
2975s	metagame is supposed to look
2978s	like team has said it's a bit weird
2980s	right now we don't really know what to
2982s	expect and teams like an are probably
2984s	just going to stick to their guns
2985s	because if they're forced to match dive
2988s	they probably won't do well at all
2990s	typically though these events right we
2992s	we get here and everybody kind of has a
2994s	read on the meta we see the first round
2996s	of games and then everybody is like okay
2998s	this is this is the right way where this
3000s	is kind of the comp that eventually
3002s	you're going to have to switch on to to
3003s	be able to get a win uh and then we see
3005s	everybody kind of adapt throughout the
3007s	weekend right like can people do it
3009s	people can't they have to kind of come
3010s	up with different compositions to try
3011s	and really counter that uh so I think
3014s	this first day on you know both streams
3016s	we'll actually learn a lot about where
3017s	some of these teams stand it's
3018s	reminiscent actually of what we saw at
3020s	the OverWatch World Cup last year where
3022s	there was a consensus that developed
3023s	over the course of that specific
3025s	Tournament of the best way to play and
3027s	lot of it was like those Sigma based
3028s	competitions with like Baptist arari
3030s	looks so like things were being forced
3031s	off dive for example but I guess the
3034s	beauty of this now coming together is
3035s	that like I said there's no consensus
3037s	right now over the best way to play and
3039s	it is going to be very map dependent for
3040s	example if you look at these European
3042s	teams you don't want to see them get
3043s	taken to dive Maps you don't want to see
3045s	them get taken to ilos you don't want to
3047s	see them on jalta either and seems like
3049s	the raccoons and Falcons are going to
3050s	try and force those Maps so that's why
3052s	if they lose right and so this is the
3054s	biggest difference between this and
3055s	let's use OverWatch league for examp
3057s	example is that teams could choose the
3058s	map if they lost but not the map type
3062s	now you can just yeah choose sort of
3064s	whatever map type you want which as we
3065s	know influences the the strategy of
3067s	those Maps far more than just a
3069s	different map within that pre-selected
3071s	category yeah I mean it's a it's a
3073s	massive change right because in you know
3075s	in the past right you lose a map and you
3077s	go to push or you know flasho for
3080s	instance right nor really have a ton of
3082s	different options to kind of pick
3083s	through some of those modes right so
3085s	it's not as huge of an advantage where
3087s	like how you mentioned right I know some
3089s	of the European teams want to play a
3090s	little bit more static comps not comps
3092s	that you know theoretically are like
3093s	kind of like dive but can utilize
3095s	verticality so they would want to stick
3097s	to you know maps that kind of uh know
3099s	play more on the ground yeah and like we
3102s	what you might have seen I think in the
3103s	Asia finals is that we saw a lot of
3105s	aritaa coming out of that region right
3107s	where most of the variation occurred in
3109s	DPS like we we see like the for example
3112s	Mir but one team might bring a far in
3115s	you know what I mean we've seen actually
3116s	I think stalker who's been playing a lot
3117s	of far uh fre out on ranked recently uh
3120s	that's been popping up a whole ton but
3122s	we know those teams especially had the
3124s	flexibility to go to Winston base comps
3126s	which is something that for example
3127s	Europe are less interested in doing does
3129s	M80 have a great Winston comp we've had
3131s	so we've had so many changes recently
3133s	with the game right I know you you have
3135s	a new
3138s	hero Seas right like we've had armor
3141s	changes the way the hitbox changes also
3143s	work which typically you know you have
3145s	that many changes in a rapid sucession
3147s	right it's very difficult to kind of get
3149s	a read on like what is like great where
3152s	that's where teams will default right
3154s	Arisa Sigma MAA you know three of the
3157s	probably the the strongest tanks that
3159s	we've had in a while and then combo the
3161s	different so we're going isue on St
3163s	we're working to resolve we're going to
3165s	be back in a couple of moments leave you
3166s	with this glimpse of the past briefly
3168s	we'll be back hopefully with a little
3169s	bit more owcs a first match up it's NC
3172s	up against Falcons hopefully very
3175s	shortly for
3234s	[Music]

3581s	[Music]
3597s	welcome back friends yeah we're back
3599s	here on the analyst desk which obviously
3600s	means that we still have some tech
3602s	issues we're working on there's some
3603s	network issues trying to result them as
3606s	quickly as we possible can to make sure
3608s	that all our players are playing uh
3610s	under the right conditions now uh we're
3613s	just digging into your brains in the
3615s	meanwhile let's talk about the
3616s	tournament uh as a whole and the players
3618s	and teams participating because
3620s	obviously yeah we're always hyping up
3622s	those Korean super teams for obvious
3625s	reasons big star power on all of those
3627s	spots but who
3630s	who it to them which is the most likely
3633s	team and why you the I Jake I know
3636s	you're going to be like oh Korea number
3638s	one they're so good I think there's a
3640s	chance I think there's a chance I think
3642s	space station and Toronto defiant have
3644s	been looking really good so far and they
3645s	have the versatility required to make
3648s	these teams uncomfortable usually in the
3649s	past in OverWatch
3652s	we there's a a composition that is the
3655s	strongest right now for this tournament
3657s	I don't feel like there is the strongest
3658s	composition can you execute on the
3660s	composition that you prefer and that is
3662s	why obviously the map Pool is going to
3664s	be so interesting as well because you
3665s	can pick to your strength if you're a
3667s	really good Sigma team like NS for
3668s	example which we're about to see then
3670s	maybe you want to go to some Sigma Maps
3671s	maybe you want to play some brawl
3672s	compositions if you lose the first
3674s	control map you can go to Circuit realy
3677s	straight
3678s	away other map so if you want to play
3680s	flasho first you can do so so a lot of
3683s	things we haven't really dealt with in
3685s	OverWatch Esports before now here in
3687s	Dallas we're going to see how that
3689s	develops right so I think it's going to
3690s	be really interesting I don't think
3691s	there's a set meta in stone and we're
3693s	going to see so see so many teams in
3695s	this tournament play to their strength
3696s	down the line here in the map Jake yeah
3698s	I think if you want to talk about
3701s	the Falcons and crazy raccoons I think
3703s	you've got to be talking about I agree I
3705s	think it's Space Station from Europe I
3706s	think they've got the most focused look
3708s	as a team with their strength on brawl
3710s	however though I think ending from na I
3711s	think Toronto def is actually the best
3713s	contender in the whole tournament to
3715s	really potentially be in the grand
3716s	finals right to potentially actually
3718s	contend for the win in the end I think
3720s	they have the true flexibility to match
3721s	I think SSG can bring it on the rush
3723s	they could be one of the best rush just
3726s	as they can bring it to rush Maps so can
3728s	these Grand teams bring it to maps that
3730s	favor their Styles and What's So Scary
3732s	About Them is as much as you want to say
3733s	oh Korea you know they're so good at
3735s	dive that's what makes them different as
3736s	a region they're incredibly good at rush
3738s	they're incredibly good at poke like
3739s	it's not that their one trick on TI they
3742s	play everything and they play it at such
3743s	a high level I think this format
3745s	ultimately is going to mean the
3747s	a win in the end but it's you have a
3749s	better chance to make the series long
3751s	and to kind of force a match of
3752s	endurance which I think does favor teams
3755s	like SSG if they can you know if you can
3756s	get some of these other map types out of
3757s	the pool you start going to push and
3759s	flash point I feel like Rush is going to
3761s	be played almost no matter what on those
3762s	Maps absolutely yeah it's it's a really
3765s	really fun format in that way especially
3768s	if you're familiar with the win rate or
3770s	like the basic
3773s	comfortability from teams of different
3776s	taking it from the Swedish is in fact
3779s	word no but I mean you know what your
3782s	opponents might be more comfortable on
3783s	so you can make sure to take that mode
3786s	Away by choosing another map from that
3789s	mode and then ensuring that later having
3791s	to face off against your opponents on
3794s	that yeah would expect to see escort and
3797s	and um hybrid being the most priority
3799s	picks after the first map because you
3801s	know you can eliminate the most
3802s	potential risky options that your
3804s	opponent could bring out later however I
3806s	think as much as that's like technically
3807s	strategically I think that's inarguable
3809s	it's probably the best strategy I could
3811s	see teams especially if you're a big
3812s	Underdog and you really want to go to
3814s	push or flash point um especially
3817s	push special strategy for it you might
3820s	just go there just to get a win under
3821s	your belt because as much as technically
3824s	like getting the most Maps out of the
3825s	pool is probably the best in the end
3827s	sometimes just getting a win earlier on
3828s	in the series tying things up one to one
3830s	is really what you need especially on a
3832s	land right when there so much pressure
3834s	there's so much intensity to go down
3835s	zero and to be facing like a really long
3838s	run back where you're like man we
3839s	probably lost we're starting to feel
3841s	that pressure I think getting a win
3843s	quickly on a map like you know whether
3845s	even if it's a flash point where your
3846s	map pick isn't the most impactful just
3848s	getting a win in the series could be
3849s	what you need to put some win in your
3851s	yeah just getting that momentum going it
3853s	can be so very important especially on
3855s	land and now looking at those individual
3857s	teams which one do you think are animals
3860s	do do we have some some clear contenders
3861s	where you know
3863s	like I mean I do think that Falcons will
3866s	show up no matter what you know they
3868s	have so much experience I mean a lot of
3869s	these teams they have so much experience
3870s	right because back in the OverWatch
3872s	League you had the regular seasons you
3873s	had a lot of official matches being
3874s	played um and there were so many stages
3876s	in tournaments right so a lot of these
3878s	guys they're really veteran they have a
3879s	ton of experience uh behind their belt
3881s	right but then you look at NC sports for
3882s	example like ghost 91 hasn't spent a lot
3885s	of time competing in these high right uh
3888s	so now you get the first opportunity to
3889s	really see what they can bring here
3890s	against an opponent like Falcons I think
3892s	ghost 91 is a really exciting batist
3895s	talent but I think that is going to be
3897s	NC sports game you know you have besta
3898s	who can slow things down play Brawl and
3900s	sigma you have ghost 91 who is a bit of
3902s	a b specialist and then you also have
3904s	Kai who most of the time you want to see
3906s	on hit scan right so this NC Sports is
3908s	all
3910s	about making necessarily denying Falcons
3913s	their comfort with Dave it's more about
3916s	what can we play to make ourselves
3917s	comfortable how can we cater to our
3919s	strengths and that is what I'm looking
3920s	for when I look at ends I mean let's be
3922s	honest going up against team Falcons
3923s	you're not taking them to a weakness
3925s	there isn't really a weakness there
3927s	right like they can have they have Smurf
3928s	and hanin either one of these guys can
3930s	realistically handle the entire tank B
3932s	you you might think okay hanin he's off
3933s	tank specialist Smurfs and Main tank
3935s	specialist but both these guys are
3936s	monsters they're not dominant on every
3938s	map cuz that way they would have won the
3940s	World Cup Jake but they didn't so you're
3942s	not wrong you're not wrong I I think
3943s	they're absolutely beatable and I think
3945s	to be honest the hope for the other
3946s	regions is some new comps we've been
3947s	seeing come in more and more to the meta
3949s	I think this is the first time we've
3950s	seen Venture be played some rumors
3952s	Venture actually opens up for me
3954s	strategically a lot of interesting
3955s	Avenues um playing a really really fast
3957s	style really really consistent
3959s	aggression to get on the enemy backline
3960s	and sometimes immobile supports like
3962s	Anna that are often needed to suain a
3964s	dive can be super vulnerable to
3966s	something like a venture like a malga
3967s	connecting to your backline we've seen
3969s	you know some of the meta some teams are
3970s	running malga with far benefiting with
3972s	that incredible burst damage power
3974s	offers incredible consistency getting to
3976s	the backline you pair that with a life
3977s	steal from malga and a hero that you
3979s	know if you playing in your rank games
3981s	you might oh my if I always die on far
3982s	it's such a big hit box easy to be shut
3984s	down but if you're diving in with malga
3987s	I mean you just come in burst a kill or
3988s	two and the fight's going your way no
3990s	matter what and so I think some teams
3991s	are going to have to deal with this very
3993s	very high paced malga Rush Styles
3994s	whether it's with Venture far um or just
3997s	a classic hit scan Tracer getting into
3999s	your backline and shutting down your
4000s	supports I think there's going to be
4001s	tremendous pressure on Flex supports uh
4003s	in this tournament to just stay alive
4005s	through that level of pressure it's
4006s	going to it's going to really call into
4008s	question your experience your
4009s	positioning uh if some of these teams
4011s	can bring that heat on land as as I
4013s	think they will it's going to be a
4014s	serious challenge for back lines I mean
4016s	you talked about this Johnny in the
4017s	pre-show right like the filthy one
4020s	tricks ain't no place for them here you
4022s	have to be more versatile than that you
4024s	have to have a lot of different looks in
4026s	order to take down those top teams
4028s	because they've shown that they can play
4029s	more than just dive just brawl or
4031s	whatever like you name it like you have
4033s	to have more strats in your pocket do
4036s	you feel like any of the teams we're
4037s	having may be falling short do you think
4039s	one of them has been relying a little
4041s	bit too much on just one particular
4043s	strategy I mean I think the talk has
4045s	been that Europe especially EMA they're
4047s	playing a lot of brawl compositions and
4049s	when you are a team like NS for example
4051s	you don't necessarily have that dive
4053s	tank with you again Chase is not here in
4055s	Dallas right which would have been the
4056s	Winston player for this team so instead
4058s	you're going to rely on slowing things
4060s	down with the sigma composition for
4061s	example but then we've heard pretty
4063s	openly curus the head coach for Toronto
4065s	defiant for example like hey we just
4067s	want to match our opponent right and
4068s	also you've seen space station gaming
4070s	develop into this really versatile team
4072s	whereas before it was like hardi
4074s	Reinhardt they're playing the Reinhard
4076s	position now actually hardi is playing a
4078s	lot of Winston psycho comes in for this
4080s	team and can play the Tracer and
4081s	allowing space station gaming to play
4083s	these Winston compositions paired up
4085s	with maybe some of the more brawl heavy
4087s	ratra MAA composition so you're seeing
4089s	that versatility in play and also
4091s	Christopher has been talking about we
4093s	want to play maps where we get that
4094s	choice right we want to go to Maps like
4097s	where we can actually play both Winston
4099s	and brawl and from there we can make a
4101s	decision based on what the opponent is
4103s	playing we'll counter that we'll counter
4105s	that so don't give us a map like circuit
4107s	real again as an example of a team that
4109s	is really specialized really specializes
4111s	in these Sigma sniper Widowmaker
4114s	compositions right we actually maybe
4115s	don't want to go there maybe we want to
4117s	go to a map instead like um you know for
4119s	example Route 66 where most of the time
4121s	you're seeing Winston compositions but
4122s	come third Point there's some
4124s	availability to play braw there for
4125s	example we want to open up these Maps
4127s	where we can play a lot of different
4129s	compositions so um different teams they
4131s	have different strategies but a team
4133s	like space station that versatility is
4135s	really going to help them absolutely and
4136s	it's been so much fun to watch that

4228s	about like I ate them in the
4231s	womb all right here's here's an
4233s	important question right now uh it's
4235s	going to be team Falcons versus an right
4237s	who do you think is going to take the
4238s	win oh team Falcons for sure why cuz
4241s	they're Koreans no uh I've watched all
4244s	the games man come on you're going to
4246s	put me on the spot like that no I've
4248s	watched all the games with my chat I
4251s	think Falcons for sure is going to win
4253s	yeah I mean I mean Jake Jake is a big
4255s	believer in the Korean owcs scene and he
4257s	said it's going to it's pretty copium if
4259s	you think uh n is going to win do you
4261s	agree I think so I agree with them I
4263s	mean he knows a lot I do my favorite
4266s	team I would say though is students of
4267s	the game I oh well now they got picked
4269s	up I love students of the game man uh
4272s	you know infected has been on several of
4274s	my teams they are I'm glad that they're
4276s	getting the recognition that they they
4277s	are getting now how about you Emily team
4280s	NS or team Falcons ooh I I would also
4283s	say team Falcons because I just go with
4286s	whatever my favorite streamer
4288s	says all right I mean it does seem like
4290s	both of them are saying team uh Falcons
4292s	is going to take the win but uh we're
4293s	going to wrap up here j3 Emily thank you

4353s	different eorts taking place and all the
4354s	different gaming events taking place so

4393s	is great uh you know a lot of is great
4395s	in general I heard in my very unbiased
4397s	opinion yeah you know we just looked at
4399s	the Bastion cinematic it's almost like a
4401s	little bit like that you know forests
4404s	green stuff
4406s	robots ring in the mud apparently but
4408s	yeah no it's awesome so looking forward
4410s	to I always tear up not going to lie
4412s	that one made me that was the first
4413s	cinematic which made me ball out of
4415s	control when I saw that I was I think it
4417s	was at bcon when they first when they
4419s	first dropped that I was I was tearing
4420s	up man anyone in the audience who else
4424s	who else teared up that one first time
4426s	you saw
4427s	it in chats we got a few honest people a
4430s	lot of people not 10 people being honest
4432s	and everyone else is lying to me I don't
4435s	I don't believe it for a second we we've
4437s	all been crying let's let's be real
4438s	let's be there's a lot of good
4439s	cinematics off there you know I'm sure
4441s	we have more in stock so maybe we do
4442s	like a power ranking Slater cinematic
4444s	power this is this
4446s	awide network issue so it might be a
4449s	while uh so we might be waffling we
4451s	might be yapping uh but we
4455s	will this planet to Y you're also you're
4458s	also being paid to do so so we expect
4461s	quality yapping at least also there is a
4463s	lot of stuff to do here in the venue I'm
4466s	uh I I have requested personally to get
4468s	a a remote Danny thing going I want to
4472s	send him around I want to make on
4473s	missions we should give him like a Walo
4475s	hat where where in the world is Danny
4478s	yeah where is dannie find Danny also
4481s	apparently if you if you sub to j3 you
4483s	get cookies no I want to say for j3 why
4487s	is the meme for j3 everybody everybody

4490s	land J J's a good guy he's a l bring
4493s	back the bug mem there's a bug on I
4497s	don't where where's the support for my
4500s	my my favorite stream that's how some
4501s	people show love and support it's like
4504s	you know the the the the pulling on hair
4506s	it's like yeah is that you want people
4508s	to pull your hair is that the meme that
4510s	you want to establish so you're like oh
4512s	walk that back walk that one back like
4514s	oh well actually no I was I was joking
4516s	and
4517s	lying me when I spread misinformation on
4519s	the internet we will
4522s	not East Sports by the way East Sports
4526s	uh I we got a lot of orts happening of
4528s	course I'm always excited when I'm
4530s	somewhere in the same vicinity where
4531s	there is StarCraft 2 happening seriously
4533s	I've been watching Starcraft since I was
4534s	a kid that was like the first esport
4536s	that I started
4541s	watching has a skare routine leave him
4544s	alone thank you thank youn finally so
4547s	president here you go
4550s	that's R you got to Dro the rtin you
4553s	want talk about my skare routin right
4555s	can we talk about OverWatch I don't want
4557s	to talk about Jake skin please talk
4559s	about OverWatch we're about like 30
4561s	minutes of filler away from actually
4564s	dropping but for now let's talk a little
4566s	bit about get to that point we got to
4567s	hold that one in reserve I that's a good
4569s	Reserve to have let's let's talk about
4571s	team though I want an
4573s	unofficial uh power ranking like on the
4576s	spots give me give me the the up and
4579s	down of the owcs first major here in you
4582s	want to draft you want to go first
4584s	number one number one's crazy raccoon I
4586s	think that's I literally just I don't
4587s	think that's controversial number two
4589s	Falcons okay okay just like that you
4592s	think
4593s	Falcons it's not a hot take Zoe don't
4595s	try to make it I don't really think
4597s	that's that hot number three who do you
4598s	got after who do you got after look at
4601s	the bracket RAC Falcons number one and
4603s	two but who is number three who is
4605s	actually challenging Tor it's defining
4607s	it's defining no question no question I
4609s	think they're the only team with someone
4611s	on tank I mean I think that's the one
4613s	place where another region has a genuine
4615s	advantage over the teams from um from
4619s	Asia from Korea Falcons and crazy racco
4621s	incredibly good but they have multiple
4623s	tank players they swap their tank to
4624s	play subtly a different heroes yes both
4626s	players can handle everything but I mean
4628s	someone I think is the best in the world
4630s	right like and he's for for an
4631s	individual tank I think he's number one
4632s	in the world I think he's the only one
4634s	who's got every tank on that level which
4636s	you know in OverWatch 2 is a massive
4638s	advantage that Toronto def is is maxing
4641s	out right whether and you've got you've
4642s	got Rupal and Vega on the support line
4644s	Vega relatively unknown player but trust
4646s	me he can handle everything from the
4647s	flex supports um same for the DPS line
4649s	with sugar-free and Merit very flexible
4651s	players so I think trying to to find
4653s	with the potential to constantly
4655s	counterpick their opponents constantly
4657s	put them on the back foot and stay ahead
4659s	strategically they're the one team who
4661s	match the L strength that that Falcons
4663s	and crazy raccoon bring but I still
4665s	think it's a tough T yeah I think that
4666s	Toronto def find I mean they were built
4667s	for this scenario right because they
4669s	only picked up five players and they
4670s	said we want the most versatile players
4672s	possible and going into 2024 some
4675s	someone was the hardest player prospect
4678s	on the market right for some of these
4679s	teams to pick up and it is because
4681s	someone is so versatile on the tank you
4683s	know we saw in the 2023 award League
4684s	playoffs that why Florida actually won
4688s	the last award League champion was so
4690s	fible he could play the sigma he can
4692s	play the Winston you can play the
4693s	Reinhardt and that way you're just kind
4695s	of like rock paper sciss yourself into a
4698s	matchup a composition that favors you
4700s	against your opponent right and so
4702s	Toronto defiant did a great job
4704s	importing someone of course to nor
4705s	America and with the tank choice and
4708s	with the tank Choice it opens up the
4710s	ability to you know counter some of
4711s	these opponents going into a tournament
4713s	like this well then you can always trust
4715s	someone to pick the right hero for any
4717s	given map any given scenario and then
4719s	you as like you said Vega a rookie
4721s	coming into this squad Vega known for
4723s	his flexibility in that support role as
4725s	well and can back up raal so this is a
4726s	really versatile Toronto defiant roster
4728s	that I think sounds a really good chance
4730s	of taking it some of these top Asia
4731s	teams and I think it it was very clear
4733s	uh as soon as owcs starts right toon to
4736s	find they came in with a very clear
4737s	Vision they secured their players super
4738s	early on they didn't make those changes
4740s	between stage one and two they're very
4742s	much committed to this squad and
4744s	invested in those players and it's been
4746s	shown because they've been delivering on
4749s	uh everything that we hope to see from
4751s	them really and then some more so yeah
4754s	uh it's been very excited to watch them
4755s	play they are likely one of those top
4758s	three contenders now everything below
4761s	that is it up for grabs or do you feel
4763s	like SSG for example is like very clear
4765s	near Fourth Place do you think NS has
4768s	something to is still waiting in the
4769s	winds I I think SSG and M80 there's a
4772s	bit of unknowns there I think it's
4773s	different right for me SSG is really
4775s	exciting because they're so incredibly
4777s	good at rush I don't think they will be
4779s	swapping Lucio like almost no matter
4780s	what maybe they'll play some dive if
4782s	they get taken to a map where it's just
4784s	absolutely mandatory but I'm pretty sure
4786s	unless it's you know Jala or something
4788s	they're going to even in jalter they're
4790s	just going to play Sim like they're
4791s	going to find a way to make the rush
4793s	happen almost no matter what but they're
4794s	so so good at it and I think it's a very
4796s	I think it's still a very good metap for
4797s	rush I think Lucio probably the best
4799s	hero in the game right now in terms of
4800s	like individual consistent hero probably
4802s	on that level of Tracer of like the hero
4804s	we're just going to see non-stop
4805s	throughout the tournament even if you're
4807s	playing dive you might still play Lucio
4809s	sometimes yeah but I feel like SSG we
4811s	talk a lot about the compositions but
4813s	even tactically I feel like SSG has
4815s	gotten to a point where they are really
4816s	well equipped to face some of these Asia
4819s	teams right where sparker for example
4821s	has had an incredible glow up on Cassidy
4823s	and you know it's firing very
4825s	mechanically really good on that hero
4826s	but it's actually the positioning from
4828s	sparker that allows him to get this
4830s	upper hand against some of these teams
4832s	right going for flanks with the aid of
4834s	fun asro on the Lucio for example taking
4837s	wide angles taking map control away from
4839s	your opponent this is a space station
4841s	gaming team that it's really smart the
4842s	way they approach the game and the way
4843s	they play the game and I think that is
4845s	primarily why I think that SSG could be
4847s	a force to be reckoned with because they
4849s	are so smart when it comes to
4850s	positionally outplay your opponent that
4852s	that could mean that a team like Falcons
4855s	even though they're you know really
4856s	dominant when it come to Powerhouse
4858s	stack roster all of that if you're a
4860s	really smart team and you can
4861s	outmaneuver your opponent that is going
4863s	to give you a leg up and so I think that
4864s	more than anything is why SSG is a team
4866s	to be scared of here in Dallas and I
4868s	think more than that SSG is unique right
4870s	they're they're not just very good
4872s	they're like the only team in the world
4873s	that approaches the game that way and
4875s	finds a way whether it's with Symetra
4877s	the May the Bastion some of these
4878s	unconventional Heroes they play them not
4880s	just like as a throwaway oh we got to do
4882s	this like they've really mastered the
4884s	execution those in a way that no other
4886s	team has and so no matter how good you
4888s	are crazy raccoons or Falcons you might
4890s	have never played against Rush on jalter
4893s	right not this style not this level of
4894s	execution and so but is it to Gim do you
4897s	actually think it's going to throw a
4899s	star started lineup like Falcons or or a
4902s	team like crazy Rec you actually think
4904s	it's going to throw them off I mean it's
4906s	definely to throw Comfort but I don't
4908s	know if it's enough right like yes
4910s	you're going to throw them off the game
4911s	but these are not players who are going
4912s	to oh you do something I haven't seen
4914s	I'm scared like yeah they're not going
4916s	to fall down and crumble it's just
4919s	giving you a that tiny little opening
4922s	and then it's up to your skill to
4923s	actually step through that and secure
4925s	fight wins map wins actually put
4927s	yourself on the map in the series and
4929s	also as the tournament goes on things
4931s	get harder and harder right you might
4932s	beat Falcons earlier on in the
4934s	tournament you might even beat crazy
4935s	raccoon through some like creative
4937s	strategy they haven't seen but this is a
4939s	double elimination bracket it's not
4940s	enough to do it once you've got to show
4942s	your hand win and then win again because
4945s	you better believe those teams are are
4947s	not going to be easy to take down in the
4948s	lower bracket if they ever get sent
4950s	there but but also an argument for these
4952s	rinard compositions you know I don't
4954s	think we're never going to see Reinhardt
4955s	be like the primary composition but I
4957s	actually do think there is something to
4958s	be said about throwing out the
4960s	composition that you opponent hasn't
4961s	necessarily practiced against like if
4963s	you're crazy raccoons if you're Falcons
4965s	you're not in Korea like practicing
4967s	against really good rer compositions and
4970s	so that gives SSG an opportunity to some
4973s	maps like typically like Nepal V for
4975s	example is a really good control point
4977s	to maybe play some Rin art and just hold
4979s	down the point right and if you are a
4981s	team like even crazy raccoons for
4982s	example you haven't necessarily sat down
4984s	in a team meeting in a Board review to
4986s	like okay well what heroes are we going
4988s	to pick and how are we going to break
4990s	this down who are we going to focus on
4991s	no of course they have a really good
4993s	idea because they're some of the best
4994s	players in the world and you know they
4995s	played against these compositions in the
4996s	past it's more so of like an
4998s	experiencing like oh we have to you know
5000s	dig up the Library of Alexandria and
5002s	just like how do you beat Rhino
5003s	compositions like you having this been
5005s	put in that spot recently which could
5007s	give you a because you just have to win
5008s	one round I've been doub you just have
5010s	to win one talking I've been starting to
5012s	doubt because I'm thinking I'm thinking
5013s	I know junk Buck I know crusty these
5015s	guys know these comps they they you
5017s	think they're prepared for the rhinard
5018s	comps I don't know why we're here
5019s	talking about rhinard coms it's not
5021s	going to be a main stay but it's funny
5023s	no I think I think they're prepared for
5024s	these Rush Styles they're prepared for
5026s	these cheeses whether it's like a malga
5028s	Bastion like I mean think about
5029s	historically right think about Outlaws
5031s	in the grand finals last year they were
5033s	ready with Bastion chees they were ready
5035s	with tons of creative Cs and that's the
5037s	thing they're not inexperienced and
5039s	crusty these aren't these aren't like
5040s	honorable Wow Let's Play Dive no matter
5042s	what these these coaches who are play to
5044s	win they've delivered consistently in
5046s	the past I mean think about like shock
5048s	from a few years ago playing Bastion to
5050s	to win the World Championship like they
5051s	are not scared to bring out very chaotic
5053s	cheese comps and so as much as you know
5056s	maybe likely they've cooked up some very
5058s	creative chaotic strategies where yeah
5060s	you we might not be prepared for you on
5062s	our typical comp but they're they're not
5063s	going to give them that match
5065s	going to be if we are realistic there
5069s	there was some time for those teams to
5071s	prepare as well it's only a teams some
5073s	of them you're already familiar with so
5075s	really I doubt that a team like SSG
5079s	specifically would go under the radar
5081s	also our audience is popping up we're
5082s	vibing they're waving let's actually

5161s	getting the win against ends that's 74%
5164s	speaks for itself just
5166s	saying let's be real proper is the best
5169s	Trace in the world ker has no chance
5171s	sorry

5191s	Gladiators Tracer skin every day all the
5194s	time proper is good he has nothing on
5196s	kevster at all go kevster go PGE they're
5201s	losing Falcons go

5217s	cuz no one really likes
5222s	camster thank
5225s	you all right I think that's all I have
5227s	so we back to you quality content
5230s	starting some beef here in the audience
5233s	also John almost almost throwing a Max
5236s	Johnny's been taking these these keer
5238s	ins not allowing this keer slander no
5240s	way okay make a good argument for
5242s	kevster Go I mean keer what you make a
5246s	good Cas he does it himself in game Zoe
5249s	he's taking it to some of the best teams
5250s	in the world to AR he's dominating look
5252s	at him he's beautiful look at that
5254s	beautiful hair he is beautiful can't
5256s	argue with facts he take over lobbies
5259s	like no one does it in OverWatch so I
5261s	know I'm the Swedish bias we're joking
5263s	all that but really if NC Sports is
5265s	going to stand a chance against a team
5267s	like you need kevster realistically to
5269s	take it too proper yeah I I will say
5272s	like I you know I learned Korean soy
5274s	work was some of the best players in the
5275s	world but if more Keers if there were a
5278s	few more Keers maybe I would have learn
5279s	Swedish that's why I learned
5282s	Swedish I can talk to kevster kevster
5285s	truly is I think and and this is I mean
5287s	universal even among the very best
5288s	players in the world he's one of those
5290s	few players from from the West entirely
5293s	that even the best players in Korea are
5294s	like yeah that guy's a freak he's a
5296s	monster he's one of the best in the game
5298s	because yeah we know him on we see him
5299s	on the Chaser but like kevster could
5301s	play any role like he's like one of the
5303s	few players like honestly put on tank
5305s	put him on support like you don't want
5307s	to cuz he can do even more on DPS but
5309s	I'm telling you this he's one of the
5310s	very there's not many players who on
5313s	this stage on other roles like that's
5315s	incredible level of talent in a game
5317s	like OverWatch I mean you consistently I
5319s	think for Europe I always see kepster at
5320s	like rank one combined he just plays a
5322s	few g games of tank casually to get
5324s	ranked oh I'm top 10 okay like he's not
5327s	even he's not really trying and he can
5329s	do that I feel like you're trying to gas
5330s	up yourself cuz you were a Houston out
5332s	lost damage and support player that's no
5334s	no no support us generous I was in Brick
5337s	jail all right brick jail is not son of
5338s	being a support player junker Town good
5341s	old times Jake BR junker town playing
5343s	junk I miss junkrat on junker toown I
5345s	got to say that was the that was the
5346s	good
5348s	times down the memory lane you love to
5351s	see it but if we're taking the trip down
5352s	memory line obviously ker if you compare
5354s	him to proper proper came into this leag
5356s	he was a hot New Prospect right when
5358s	when he came into the OverWatch League
5360s	it was it was phenomenal like his debut
5362s	performance was like unlike anything we
5365s	have seen in a long time just raking up
5368s	those MVP titles Year MVP same year I
5370s	mean that's that's how do we feel about
5372s	him in in this environment how has he
5374s	performed thus far incx you know I think
5376s	he's transitioned to being more of the
5378s	core hit scan role for the team they got
5379s	stalker as well in the team who probably
5381s	will be taking the Reign on Tracer 90
5383s	plus perc of the time but stalker is
5386s	that guy who could actually hang with so
5388s	I mean we talk about the the proper
5389s	versus kepster but really it will be
5390s	more proper versus Kai stalker versus
5393s	kempster but I think stalker at least we
5395s	talking about Tracer I mean that guy is
5397s	just as good right this is we're talking
5398s	about other player best in the world
5400s	caliber can can take it to absolutely
5402s	anyone in the world and I think the
5404s	challenge is going to be can you keep up
5406s	with proper flexibility right it's more
5408s	than just the individual Peak on one
5409s	hero it's that yeah he could he could
5411s	bring you out on the soldier he could
5412s	take you on the widow or he could come
5414s	out on Genji Echo I mean who knows we
5416s	might even see Heroes like far Venture
5418s	Hanzo we've been hearing rumbles of that
5420s	in the meta and so we could be seeing a
5422s	very unexpected meta I mean we talk a
5423s	lot about the Korean die but I think
5425s	it's overselling I think I think it's
5426s	very likely we'll see especially the
5428s	Korean teams have a ton of flexibility I
5431s	think these these players and teams
5433s	especially with with coaches like junk
5434s	buuck and crusty they've learned their
5435s	lesson they're not going to force one
5437s	composition just because it's like The
5438s	Highest Potential or whatever they're
5440s	going to play whatever gives them the
5442s	best chance to win these are very
5443s	practical people who know how to deliver
5445s	championships it's not about like
5447s	playing what what is the coolest or what
5448s	you think is those things aren't
5450s	considerations the only thing that
5451s	matters to squads like this is winning
5454s	these are teams I mean you talk about
5455s	Tron toy built to challenge teams like
5457s	this these teams are not built for
5458s	challenging they're built for World
5460s	Championships they're ready to take any
5461s	meta they are ready to take any
5463s	composition and I think that's the
5464s	hardest thing is you can't you prep for
5466s	them like oh they're going to play Dive
5468s	you're really missing the point they're
5469s	going to play everything and anything
5470s	under the sun take you to any map they
5472s	feel like and it's just going to be
5473s	whatever your weakest point is okay if
5475s	you're weak on dive maybe they'll force
5477s	you to play Dive but if you're weak on
5479s	anything else they'll take you right
5480s	there and feel perfectly at home doing
5482s	something uh looking at that Squad
5484s	actually will surma jet see playtime
5487s	best guess here Johnny will we see
5489s	occasionally I mean there's a lot of
5491s	haters out there who's like oh we're
5492s	never going to see it but actually they
5493s	have played seret at points to bring out
5495s	theori right and it's actually genuinely
5497s	you know a bit of a niche pick that
5498s	maybe we could see this tournament you
5500s	know I believe on maps like Midtown for
5502s	example surasa we've seen some aari
5504s	being played that was a few patches ago
5507s	uh but also you know if jaw just about
5510s	to say somewh jaw in the background
5512s	popping off right there
5514s	for that Midtown and it's been working
5516s	out well as well it was a good look and
5519s	circuit Royals in the pool I mean that's
5520s	like the most dominant double Flex sport
5522s	map we've ever seen still possible I
5524s	think some teams might prefer to run
5526s	like a Brig and a Genji and just punish
5527s	those double Flex support comps so it is
5530s	a challenge for Falcons like to bring
5531s	out a player that's known that you're
5533s	going to lock in the flex support is
5534s	that going to happen um as I don't think
5537s	that's the W up that they're going to
5538s	see Christopher coming in that would be
5540s	the biggest surprise tournament we we
5542s	need to get one more of these with me
5543s	and Christopher going tohe a take over
5545s	to I remember that me versus Christopher
5547s	H ham orts good time I got a question
5549s	for you Johnny what are you going to
5550s	play in the show match well that depends
5553s	because uh there's actually some uh hero
5555s	bands in the show match so I was say the
5558s	other team knowing knowing their team if
5561s	they they're going to ban Reinhardt
5562s	they're going to ban the best player on
5563s	our team so they're going to Rebo it's a
5565s	respect B it's a respect man Reinhard my
5569s	Winston it's all good Jake all right I'm
5570s	ready to see the for those who have no
5572s	idea what they are talking about there
5573s	will be a show match happening as well
5576s	here at dream hack I'm very excited for
5578s	it for many of different reasons one of
5580s	them of course being uh a peak and some
5583s	herob Bunning so have you guys practiced
5588s	at
5590s	all doing every day s gam hour we need
5594s	to uh we need to discuss what Heroes
5595s	we're actually Banning Jake I got I
5597s	don't know what we're Banning Johnny I
5598s	saying this control center we got to hit
5600s	the Ryan may we got to hit the OG That's
5601s	a classic so we're not Banning Reinhardt
5604s	fair to say maybe maybe we ban like MAA
5608s	maybe we
5609s	should I got some cheers I got some
5611s	cheers
5612s	for roadog get him out of the game yeah
5615s	we we'll take some votes there we go do
5618s	you let the audience decide just
5621s	maybe it's a it's a it's a game d we
5624s	can't reveal our Str away from here is
5626s	that you guys have no idea what you're
5627s	going to do in the show match I so I
5630s	don't need prep if we're not prepared
5632s	the opponents can't prepare for us this
5634s	is my face it Master League strategy we
5636s	have one
5637s	win that's why I didn't last too long in
5640s	my good old days but I mean it's
5642s	temporary listen you're here on the desk
5643s	now that's all that matters there you go
5646s	here here are some details on that show
5647s	match of course lots of lovely faces

5665s	best player on the server who's going to
5667s	dominate I mean I'm looking forward to
5669s	SK maybe bringing out some Life weer

5672s	personally oh there's no doubt you just

8950s	treat for you and I'm not talking about
8952s	necro next to me I was going to help me
8955s	set up our next segment as we're still
8956s	stalling for a tiny bit of time but
8958s	don't worry the games are not too far
8960s	away however speaking of games necra you
8963s	know I always announce uh Jake and
8965s	Johnny as the most wrinkly brains in all
8967s	of OverWatch they do have some big big
8970s	brains yeah big brains there are some
8972s	wrinkles but are they the
8974s	wrinkliest they're pretty wrinkly but
8977s	are they Rinker than our audience I
8980s	don't think so I think we have some
8982s	really big super fans that are sitting
8984s	out there in the dream hack Dallas
8986s	audience so I think I got to give my
8988s	money to them that's right because we
8990s	we're going to put it to the test that's
8991s	right I'm going to pit our analysts
8994s	against our audience does that sound
8996s	like a good plan cuz I want to hear who
8998s	knows more about OverWatch and there is
9000s	quite a lot of years a lot of history to
9003s	draw from how well do you think you
9004s	would do if you went up against either
9006s	of the two of them in like a trivia I
9010s	don't think that that would go very well
9012s	same that's why I'm just hosting these

9672s	see you on our other stream as well
9674s	right for all the action so make sure to
9676s	tune in to all the action which should
9678s	be going down m arily as I believe we
9681s	are getting closer and closer and closer
9683s	to fixing the issue a lot of pressure
9686s	obviously for you guys uh you know to
9688s	test the knowledge against fans those
9690s	are hard questions were they though
9692s	there were yeah first match of owcs
9695s	North America I actually post that
9696s	question I don't even know how the
9698s	person in the crowd knew that that I
9700s	copied it's kind of impressive actually
9703s	it looked like JW gave them a hint to be
9706s	honest but maybe that's just what I saw
9708s	I don't know maybe I just this is opium
9710s	I want you guys to be the smartest in
9712s	the room and you know what you have
9714s	three days to prove that you are because
9716s	we have plenty of overwat who talk about
9718s	plenty more matches which can become
9720s	history uh which we then later have to
9722s	recollect in another edition of Nova
9724s	watch and I'm sure there will be more of
9725s	that thanks again for Jaws uh to Jaws
9727s	for providing all those questions now we
9730s	are of course getting closer and closer
9731s	to this first match it's diff difficult
9734s	teams when there is such a delay you
9736s	know like they they had their heads in
9737s	the game they were ready to go and then
9741s	sometimes some stuff is just out of our
9742s	hands and you have to deal with the
9744s	cards that are being dealt is there any
9746s	team you feel like would be having a
9747s	mental setback due to something like
9749s	that or they just chilling you you
9750s	talked to some of them uh backstage
9752s	actually yeah I mean I'm good friends
9753s	with a lot of the guys on Falcons so you
9756s	know I I think they're they're old hands
9757s	they're experienced they've been through
9759s	any kind of tech issue any kind of delay
9761s	I don't see them being phased by this
9763s	and you know ANS if anything you know
9766s	they seem kind of low energy but they're
9767s	just chill guys right like there's just
9769s	a very low ke team so they're not
9770s	relying on some kind of energetic High
9773s	to last for hours to be super hyped up
9776s	they're cool com and collected in the
9777s	match and honestly that plays well to a
9780s	delay it's not really going to bother
9781s	you as much as it might a team that is
9783s	relying on a lot of energy honestly the
9785s	break might even serve a purpose in that
9787s	all that adrenaline and excitement it
9789s	actually Fades a little bit and you get
9791s	more calm in your nature so might
9793s	actually make some better decisions
9794s	because of this
9795s	break so really we did it for the
9797s	players is what I'm hearing no no no not
9800s	quite not quite not going there Al we
9801s	didn't do anything whatever I just said
9803s	that's not what actually went out no but
9805s	uh of course uh Big Ups to everyone
9807s	working hard in the back to to fix it to
9810s	make sure we can go on about our day we
9812s	have so many matches to go if you just
9814s	tuned in and you don't know what's
9816s	happening let's
9818s	bring you through what you can expect to
9820s	see from today because we have a lot of
9822s	matches we want and need to get through
9824s	right as we're looking at those three
9826s	days ahead of us we are playing in a
9828s	double elimination breakast here at the
9830s	owcs major in the the at the dream hack
9834s	in Dallas there we go got around to it
9836s	uh yeah and lots of bangers uh that's
9838s	why we have two streams happening
9840s	simultaneously on one you can have Mitch
9843s	and Mr X cover all the action and then
9845s	back stage we have JW necro also
9848s	bringing you everything you need to know
9850s	uh they will be covering SSG and uh NRG
9853s	actually and we will be focusing on
9856s	Falcons and ends which we've already
9857s	discussed at Great length those some
9860s	Banger matches which would be the dream
9864s	final of dream hack Dallas which two
9866s	teams do you think will be like that's
9869s	going to be the most Banger match I mean
9871s	coming into it everyone's going to say
9872s	Falcons against crazy raccoons but I see
9875s	math over there he's waving his students
9877s	of the game Jersey that is no longer
9879s	required I suppose because they're nrgy
9881s	shock now but that's an heirloom
9885s	now exactly sell it for the big bugs but
9888s	honestly I think everyone just wants
9889s	like a tournament that is pretty
9891s	volatile and you don't know quite what
9893s	you're going to get right and so in some
9895s	ways it would have been really fun to
9896s	get a grand finals where maybe Toronto
9898s	defiant or rest G could take it to one
9900s	of these Asian teams right so uh I don't
9902s	know as an NA ranked player I just want
9904s	to see Toronto def go far I mean it's
9907s	been or M80 as well honestly it's been
9910s	terrifying enough about going up against
9912s	happy and Pelican and Meritt in my rank
9915s	games it's not fun all right and and
9917s	they have to be building for something
9918s	to to deliver some real International
9920s	wins here those players are really
9921s	really insane across the board on I
9924s	think both M8 and Toronto Finance I
9925s	think you're right to say M8 has been
9927s	they beat significantly underrated right
9929s	like they've shown incredible Peaks the
9931s	consistency hasn't been there but you
9932s	got to remember this is a team that only
9934s	just recently got everyone together in
9936s	person being able to play on low ping
9938s	and so I think M8 could be a major
9940s	Darkhorse this tournament that really
9941s	could bring it to some of the best teams
9943s	especially these European teams I think
9944s	they've got to be worried about a squad
9946s	like M80 with such DPS players yeah you
9949s	might able to rush and maybe pick off
9950s	some back lines but often times Rush
9952s	exposes you to really high level DPS
9954s	players and just kind of chip apart your
9956s	team one by one happy and pelant they
9957s	take over games and we saw that against
9960s	the Toronto defiant in stage two they
9961s	did actually beat them in the winner
9963s	bracket final of course but then Toronto
9964s	defiant they came back from the lower
9966s	bracket and then ended up winning stage
9967s	two in the Grand Final of course so
9969s	we've seen M made it hit those Peaks
9971s	where they can take On th F of course
9973s	and I think you know for their purpose
9975s	they looking to compete with Falcons and
9977s	crazy raccoons we've seen in face it
9979s	League already that Pelican sometimes he
9981s	brings out this far pick are we going to
9984s	see some Far being played here on stage
9986s	it would be really exciting so I'm
9988s	looking forward to see what M8 can bring
9989s	to this F this event as well it's
9991s	incredible that a a team a star started
9993s	Ruster with such big names in it as M80
9995s	is the one which kind of go under the
9997s	radar and seeing them put together like
9999s	that obviously M80 once happy and
10001s	Pelican joined them and they were able
10003s	to play on L ping it was a game changer
10006s	for them and I think one of the not
10008s	issues but one of the worries we had
10010s	initially for that team was the backline
10013s	but they kept up like they they actually
10015s	performed really really well in their
10017s	recent matches yeah I think there there
10019s	was a ton of pressure on UltraViolet and
10021s	liar to to have a massive performance in
10023s	the support line but you know uv's been
10025s	grinding in particular consistently rank
10027s	one in Na and ranked um you know
10029s	dominant performance putting in a ton of
10030s	practice and liar as well keeping up
10032s	keeping that the team synchronized and
10034s	on point with with the Lucio for the
10035s	most part I do think they're a team that
10037s	you have to contend with you have to
10038s	take seriously and they might be a team
10040s	that
10041s	slips focus on you know Falcons crazy
10044s	raccoon Toronto as like we got to prep
10046s	for these guys we got to prepare M8
10048s	could be that team that you know you
10049s	weren't 100% ready for and they strike
10051s	with a Vengeance and also like you
10053s	mentioned before you know playing the
10054s	far us well maybe with some kind of MAA
10056s	if you a brawl like the damage output
10058s	the far out you know get so much healing
10059s	at the cardiac overdrive and we had like
10062s	a two we period where we had like a hard
10064s	MAA meta and Hawk was actually one of
10067s	those tanks that really picked up MAA on
10069s	the fly then and got more value from the
10071s	cardiac overdrive right so you have a
10073s	really cerebral tank that is pretty
10074s	flexible in general and can set up the
10076s	rest of the team like happy and Pelican
10078s	for example so I'm looking at M80 that
10080s	is really throttled by hawk in the front
10082s	line and his capabilities on tank on MAA
10084s	to find like a value difference
10087s	extracting more value from these
10088s	abilities that then set up Pelican and
10090s	happy in turn so many great players to
10092s	look out for these next three days and
10095s	speaking of place to look out for I know
10097s	y'all came here for some some some you
10099s	know serious competition that's exactly
10102s	what we got for you because Danny is
10104s	standing by with some of our players
10105s	with her and moose Bo if you will for
10108s	what's to come here on the
10111s	stage all

10128s	fun doing the rock pap scissors right
10130s	when we're doing it with the
10132s	fans I think I think we should do that
10134s	one more time but this time with the
10136s	players I'm going to get in the middle
10138s	what do you guys think do you guys think
10139s	it's it's a great great idea all right
10141s	rock paper scissors like the like the
10143s	last time it's going to be best out of
10145s	uh best of best of three uh you guys and
10147s	then the winner of the two goes up and
10149s	the finals uh sorry but you guys don't

10336s	Cy athletes over there um Stone Stone
10339s	meta going strong on stage hardi kind of
10342s	played himself there uh going to lie the
10345s	right idea I just don't think that like
10346s	three is enough I really think we need
10348s	to have four just for the sake of like
10351s	game balance and make the game more
10352s	enjoyable I think we should just ban
10353s	Rock b rock you want you want bands I I
10357s	think if we're Banning Rock it's uh it's
10360s	getting a little tough out there yeah

10363s	more of a rock user more of a more of a
10364s	scissors enjoyer actually I should say

10552s	cardboard Reinhard yeah the low anyone
10555s	there at cardboard give me some
10556s	cardboard I'll tape something up I think

10562s	longer maybe we get a cosplay done end
10564s	of the day the finest cardboard for
10565s	Johnny's Reinhard we're recycling here
10568s	it's for the
10570s	environment I'm looking forward to it
10572s	it's going to be great same I think I
10573s	speak for everyone if I say same also I
10576s	I think I heard something in my ears but
10578s	then I didn't hear it so if production
10580s	would be so kind to uh that's right they
10582s	just did thank you so much production uh
10585s	the good news is that we're almost done
10588s	waffling are we and you know what that
10590s	means that also means that we're this
10593s	close to actually get into our first
10595s	game of the day uh look it's just we we
10600s	build up the suspense J celebrate I'm
10603s	ready to
10604s	celebrate it better be a good game as
10607s	well if those entertaining I don't know
10610s	I swear I am excited for this first
10613s	match though because it is going to set
10615s	the tone is First International
10616s	competition we have so we do get to
10618s	finally see The Clash of styles The
10621s	Clash of those different teams lots of
10622s	different looks we can expect yeah speed
10624s	bumps coming into the start of the
10626s	tournament but now it's a test of who's
10627s	got the mental fortitude right to to
10629s	Bear through that and to still be able
10630s	to deliver your aame and potentially a
10632s	long series here right like especially
10634s	with this loser map pick we could see
10636s	matches we haven't really seen before in
10638s	professional OverWatch right different
10639s	strategies coming out different times in
10641s	the series and another Strate strategic
10643s	layer especially for coaches like crimo
10646s	new head coach going up against crusty
10647s	and junk Buck for the Falcons where are
10649s	they going to take their teams with map
10650s	picks I think that's going to be a
10651s	critical element that's going to develop
10653s	throughout the tournament I mean
10654s	according to his interview he saw
10655s	earlier today he's not worried in the
10657s	slight is not impressed with the
10658s	opposition Fair that's the confidence
10661s	you will want to have when you're going
10662s	up against players of the caliber we
10665s	have here in our competition uh we are
10667s	now going to hand uh head into a very
10669s	quick break and then afterwards we are
10671s	back with all the action please don't go

12428s	welcome back ladies and
12430s	gentlemen it's been a
12432s	minute I'm going to say huge
12434s	acknowledgement to those die hards Who
12436s	in the crowd all through this we see you
12438s	out there it's great to be back here of
12440s	course at dream hack Dallas and we are
12442s	moments away from jumping into our first
12443s	match of our first owcs major man let's
12446s	have a look at the bracket let's
12447s	reestablish where we're at in the
12448s	tournament yeah let's remind everybody
12450s	where we're at uh so uh this is the
12452s	start of the event uh there's going to
12454s	be another match that's going to go on
12455s	in the OverWatch Esports 2 channel so
12458s	you can go into the section check that
12459s	out uh the game that we will have here
12462s	on the main State show will be that game
12463s	at the top it'll be Falcons verse an uh
12466s	number two in Asia versus number two in
12469s	Europe uh should be a pretty awesome
12471s	game we talked about it a bunch at the
12472s	top of the show and I feel like we duck
12474s	pretty deep into what to expect from n
12476s	but their opponents today are absolutely
12479s	terrifying we have absolute Legends off
12483s	the OverWatch world over many many years
12485s	and somehow this F roster not even the
12488s	best in their damn region yeah it's also
12491s	a really uh obviously odd scenario right
12493s	these players are you know that they do
12495s	the walk out they get all excited you
12497s	know geared up to play and then they
12499s	don't uh so it's kind of like who can
12501s	get that energy back now you tell me
12503s	scissors paper rock is in a sufficient
12504s	warm upack hey I I would have kept going
12507s	with Rock Yo hone absolutely he should
12510s	have committed to the B you fumbled my
12511s	guy that's all I'm sign as Danny is the
12514s	hardest working person in Jorts in the
12515s	venue oh yeah how many people in Jorts
12517s	in the venue show
12519s	hands oh we got we got we got we
12522s	got love to see that we have moment of
12525s	away folks from jumping in eco point
12526s	Antarctica that's right finally RCS maor
12531s	one kicks off it's
12534s	Falcons up against s yeah so we also
12537s	talked about some of the compositions uh
12539s	we might see here uh throughout the
12541s	weekend much earlier in the day uh where
12544s	ant right they're going to try and play
12546s	mostly bapti Lucio setups right around
12549s	besta Sigma make sure they get Masa make
12551s	sure static tank for loads of different
12554s	options the Hanzo is something we've
12556s	heard a lot
12559s	will be the Hano the of that one
12562s	potential with the changes to pools and
12565s	projectile sizes doesn't seem to have
12567s	you know broken hanzo's capability here
12570s	proper on the Genji as well always a
12571s	terrifying prospects and we will see n
12574s	look to try and set up around that Sigma
12576s	to start with malga is back just as
12581s	fearsome as ever yeah you see stalker
12584s	here trying to work down that Sigma
12586s	Shield as an wants to kind of control
12588s	this High Ground they want to kind of
12590s	almost like bait Falcons into coming up
12592s	on there they feel like they win the the
12594s	long run there going what a Bion
12596s	catching from field of ghost couldn't do
12598s	a darn thing about and already your bti
12599s	is gone kill never heard of it and then
12604s	off to a rocky
12605s	St yes I think you kind of pushed off
12608s	there through that High Ground rather
12610s	quickly they are by Falcons is proper on
12614s	the Genji just gets into the back line I
12616s	talked a little bit earlier today about
12617s	how devastating that keer time the DPS
12621s	Duo is there 4 in where proper in that
12626s	is a sick combo the other side got
12628s	himself some glasses fair enough o
12630s	That's Smurfs camera POV trying to take
12634s	a little bit of space with the kinetic
12635s	prasp here kak overdrive to lead and
12639s	astray it's going to be goh getting
12640s	picked off yet again the big potential
12643s	here from B has been excellent and this
12644s	is brutal because without the bap you
12646s	can't kind of hold any position if you
12648s	are it right Med imortality field the
12651s	just AOE healing capabilities Lucio
12653s	obviously not good enough to survive
12655s	through any of that so what's the play
12656s	into the
12657s	Mal I me it's quite difficult right you
12659s	want to like slowly kind of like push up
12661s	take this High Ground right rotate these
12663s	cool Downs that has whether it be the
12665s	kinetic grasp or the shield try and
12667s	occupy that space up here for the Smur
12670s	going straight on in he dispenses an
12672s	this only gets CAU pul is good though ke
12674s	Comes Alive finally these DPS
12676s	are gaining some traction here for
12678s	finally B no beat quite yet but do need
12682s	to get themselves touching the point
12684s	could be an issue bit of a threat Dragon
12685s	strike available but FAL could give it
12687s	up it's a healthy enough lead yeah now
12689s	I'm quite interested in where in kind of
12691s	sets up from right you have this Cassy
12694s	kind of put that Cy up on that High
12696s	Ground stalker is so dangerous though
12698s	like you mentioned know even just the
12700s	kill Pi but also being able to burn down
12702s	this shield and then it's the go time
12703s	for the mar to barri is on both sides he
12705s	expect this to be a little more drawn
12707s	out the Dragon Blade proper will not be
12709s	relevant until Mara has parted with that
12711s	ability they manag to pressure out this
12714s	is going to force out an early sound
12715s	barrier from an dangerous now for them
12717s	Falcons hold on to it for a time what
12719s	where's the sound barrier
12722s	Gio yeah sound barrier they use it a
12725s	little bit earlier there in the fight
12727s	and I think they're just trying to like
12728s	Bully out besta to get that sound bar
12731s	out of M the pick at least yeah and then
12733s	they were going to back out a little bit
12735s	like you saw proper go down
12739s	the first
12741s	time yeah of they really effective play
12744s	a lot of these off angles a lot of
12746s	combine them with the
12749s	malga see how it plays out once again
12751s	theer this time needs to avoid getting
12754s	cut off the rest of the team singled out
12757s	cage fight available here for Smurf
12758s	though that's dangerous sters heading on
12760s	in proper as well doesn't even need the
12761s	Dragon Blade to do some serious work
12763s	here ging BL he's not cing it he dodged
12765s	it prop his back like he never
12769s	left and I don't know how you about back
12771s	from that ands get themselves at least
12773s	in the lead that's a Dom Jo from Falcons
12776s	there yeah you try and use that flux and
12779s	catch proper in it as he's going into
12781s	the back line with that Nano and not
12783s	able to do so a lost fight anyway you'd
12785s	already lost two players before that and
12788s	like you mentioned Venture they're so
12789s	strong in combination with a M that
12791s	cardiac overdrive plus the shield that
12793s	you build up while you know connecting
12794s	those abilities in combination each
12796s	other very difficult to take out and
12798s	drill Rush gives them a really reliable
12800s	escape a lot of the time here there it
12802s	is the C comes down Smurf start to blow
12804s	them up K found a dead eye inside of it
12806s	ster though pops up takes K down G also
12808s	move by the melee that's two for the
12810s	Venture and master is too far away to
12812s	get involved an attempt at a back cap
12814s	here for end but that's going to be
12815s	stifled now as ke still will be forced
12817s	back and we're in overtime the Tracer
12819s	has to recall to try and keep the round
12820s	going for proper wants to keep him up
12822s	arm sleep is good a stand man cometh and
12826s	Falcons should be locking this one
12828s	[Applause]
12834s	down pretty close round number one there
12838s	between Falcons and as uh kind of comes
12841s	right down to the
12842s	wire ready B uh we'll see now as we move
12846s	into round number two uh any kind of
12849s	changes on both sides I think in right
12851s	you want to continue to play I mean
12853s	besta on Sigma Masa on the Lucio and
12855s	then ghost on the he's probably the
12857s	strongest of no comination of those
12859s	three players play in terms of like
12861s	Heroes uh Falcons with an adjustment
12863s	though right you know bringing the
12864s	Venture into the mix is a really nice
12866s	touch we mentioned how they're very very
12869s	good to combined with that engage of Mal
12873s	got for desch it's going get even
12876s	nastier n here don't want to play in
12879s	that real hard flanker they want to play
12880s	pretty static around the Baptist around
12882s	the sigma they are a de B here and
12885s	Falcons need to unravel them already our
12888s	asan number two sets up on the point
12890s	here agression going to miss and now
12892s	there's an opportunity for to go forward
12894s	field also take him down get a power
12895s	play moment for Falcons and proper
12900s	delivers this is just a coin sweep here
12904s	from Falcon they bring the May into the
12906s	mix here for in right they kind of they
12908s	try to use a May wall there the start he
12910s	split the player off but by by time impr
12913s	proper just a dash on in he already
12915s	takes out one play instantly The Venture
12918s	of ster there right after so a really
12921s	fast team fight there from
12923s	B and here have to play up one score
12927s	behind this secma Shield it makes them a
12929s	little Telegraph as by Design they want
12931s	to play pretty close together maybe an
12933s	off bangle taken up by K ker actually
12935s	makes the switch over to the Tracer does
12936s	give them some flank pressure to speak
12938s	of this is dangerous look at them ignore
12940s	the Stoler who needs to double back now
12942s	he want how to K down kinetic Gras but e
12943s	up some of that damage and yes it hold
12945s	Smurf but Bab toer has already gotten at
12947s	the cat amongst the pigeons that's
12949s	another 3K for the
12951s	Genji uh what like the immortality build
12954s	comes out from ghosts already have like
12956s	a player dead and then there's another
12957s	one that just drops right after but but
12959s	you use it so early then Falcons doesn't
12961s	even really need to kind of commit fight
12963s	that as proper pushes a little bit too
12965s	deep there get taken out by maybe just a
12967s	little bit more than he could chew but
12968s	it is a 50% total here for Falcons s
12972s	barrier up early Chio might be an option
12975s	here ESP to play off that biotic grenade
12976s	is going to be an immortality that has
12977s	to be deployed just because of the
12979s	bionade that's cheaply lost there for
12983s	proper here coming from the back side
12984s	see ke still over realiz putting
12986s	pressure Ona is Paramount presently wa
12988s	out the sound barrier the dragon BL
12990s	could be quite devastating but they lose
12991s	the as stalker I think propa may not
12994s	have much to do here little sto for
12996s	Smurf he'll yeah that three player bio
13000s	grenade from Fielder they pushed in
13002s	right after that immortality field sound
13004s	barrier and M used there by ends just to
13007s	be able to live and flip the point back
13009s	is now Falcons you come back you have
13012s	this blade there's no sound barrier on
13013s	the other side you probably still
13015s	another fight after that from taking
13017s	that uh know map but still in a good
13019s	spot potentially make a play here hold
13021s	up here for
13023s	stalker Visa could land that big right
13026s	we saw him trying to kind of catch
13027s	proper but now gets woken up that cage
13030s	fight some pressure cominging down
13032s	Shield up and into the back line goes
13033s	poer once more the Dragon Blade yeah
13036s	finds two the immortality K crucially
13038s	removed first and even in the
13041s	face of Kai being to find that Dead Eye
13043s	there was no chance for a stol the power
13045s	with the G
13047s	flux yeah and something that we talked
13049s	about with ins when we did the
13050s	interviews with them was that they
13051s	wanted to kind of try and know play the
13054s	game at their Pace they felt that if
13055s	they can get the game going in their
13057s	Pace uh they would definitely swing in
13059s	their favor where here at the start
13061s	especially on control right it's really
13063s	difficult for them to kind of control
13064s	that High Ground Control that space
13066s	would like to as the pace has been
13068s	completely set by Falcons is this enough
13070s	fer goes down with the G fle and follow
13072s	up there fora with the rest of the
13074s	Falcons are standing still CH
13075s	desperately trying to keep them topped
13076s	up but somehow P gets brought down too
13079s	focused on stalker Smurf finishing off
13081s	the kill now ker try to control the
13083s	point pul bomb delivered but Falcons
13085s	able to shrug it off pretty comfortably
13086s	another cardiac overdrive for Falcons
13089s	and here's that overtime kers down that
13091s	was the only option they had to keep
13093s	things
13094s	going and Peninsula goes to Falcons and
13098s	that is a pretty clean sweep there from
13100s	Falcons right they come in using that
13103s	Marga composition made it very difficult
13106s	for in to hold any of that position that
13108s	they would have liked to they playing a
13110s	little bit more a static play style with
13112s	that Sigma that we'll see how they
13115s	adjust here in the next map which
13117s	they'll be able to pick the map in game
13119s	tight right so a lot of different
13121s	options for inss here you can you can
13123s	definitely pick a map that is more
13125s	suited to to that play style I want to
13127s	quote crimo here yeah said if Falcons
13129s	turn up and play the way they scream
13130s	they won't be winning much of anything
13132s	well I mean uh look uh the the apack
13136s	teams uh here in the past they've been
13138s	known to uh potentially send back some
13140s	scrims every once in a while it's been a
13142s	thing uh so uh whenever we talk about
13145s	these scrim uh Stock Exchange it's
13147s	always a a little bit
13150s	sideous we we don't put too much faith
13152s	in it just very interesting there we
13153s	definitely some fighting words shared by
13155s	this and Squad coming into this match up
13157s	now bear in mind the first map of the
13159s	series is predetermined so that wasn't
13161s	selected by anyone in particular let's
13163s	have a look back of some of these
13164s	moments in the round proper Dragon Blade
13166s	still as sharp as ever Smurf obviously
13168s	looking pretty deadly and stalker was a
13170s	latest switch over Adventure it's still
13171s	brought a lot of value uh between like
13173s	Fielder Fielder like the bio grenades
13175s	felt like it was connecting with a
13176s	player you know or two every single time
13179s	they kind of go an attack on that it
13181s	forces out like all the cool Downs right
13183s	it's like ktic brass you know the The
13185s	Shield refresh uh immortality field and
13189s	there's just not enough to live through
13190s	that burst damage once those cool Downs
13192s	are done see obviously you know C match
13195s	very poent there at making sure a lot of
13197s	this abilities that really want the
13199s	enemy team to be clamped up get the most
13201s	value from Falcons but let's be honest
13203s	by design that end composition wants to
13205s	play in a death ball but it Ries so
13207s	heavily on that Baptist utility that
13209s	immortality field of course you were
13211s	expecting a lot from your youngest
13212s	player your newest player here the
13214s	rookie ghost coming in he has to be the
13216s	glue that hold us come together and up
13218s	against this kind of pressure it's a big
13219s	ask so I I I think some of the positives
13221s	though would be for INS is that like
13223s	there's a lot of different Maps
13225s	throughout the pool that you can use to
13229s	and modes to to make those kind of
13230s	compositions work and then you know your
13232s	damage dealers are extremely flexible in
13234s	terms of what they can play with Kai and
13236s	kevster so you do have some options here
13239s	I think though like I mean falcons look
13242s	so strong there early on I mean and kind
13244s	of admits they're not super flexible so
13247s	there are definitely Maps they know if
13248s	they get taken to I'll Ratt them off ver
13250s	66 like jalta for example a lot of those
13253s	Maps they will admit that if they get
13254s	taken to those Maps it's going to be a
13255s	tougher time but being able to make that
13257s	selection they might pick something that
13258s	caters a little bit more to the ratra to
13260s	the sigma looks and there's a ton of
13262s	options here remember you can choose map
13264s	and mode that's the biggest change that
13265s	we've seen since like you know owl for
13267s	example when yeah the mode was locked in
13269s	but the map was upfor GRS I mean you
13271s	could think of something like uh you
13273s	know a Midtown right we've seen like
13274s	loads of uh Sigma played on uh that map
13277s	in the past right circuit obviously a
13280s	tremendous uh Sigma map I also think
13282s	like if you wanted to maybe like a
13284s	Rialto uh there there's a I think like
13286s	even coloso if you want to play like a
13288s	brawl style is pretty effective there
13290s	yeah I mean I think I think the map type
13293s	right you know I think is quite
13295s	interesting right like you want to give
13296s	yourself like a you know a little bit
13298s	more of a a long cuz like the the push
13300s	Maps it it's so dangerous in terms of
13303s	like if you lose first fight
13305s	a lot of the time you end up kind of
13307s	giving up a ton of progress and that
13309s	kind of ends up really kind of resulting
13311s	in a map win or loss so you're putting a
13313s	lot of Stark in first fight there
13315s	especially on a map like coloso I mean
13317s	recently uh you know ants were taken to
13320s	yeah they were taken to Route 66
13321s	actually by SSG uh and they you know had
13324s	to play against a dive comp and they
13326s	stuck on the ratra sort of Sig looks and
13328s	it was very close it was actually a
13330s	really close map which is obviously one
13332s	where you were not favored playing that
13334s	style so the reality is if even if ends
13336s	do in a map and then Falcons can make
13338s	that choice there is room for them to
13340s	adapt here and they have obviously some
13342s	great looks within the shell of those
13344s	more ground born those more static
13345s	setups here kepster I think a lot rides
13347s	on him to be that player that brings the
13349s	flexibility to allow this team to yeah
13351s	again adapt a lot of those different
13353s	maps and I think it'll also determine by
13356s	just kind of like the belief of the team
13357s	how you kind of pick this it's like do
13359s	you pick a map that Falcons is
13361s	historically you know bad at right and
13363s	maybe you feel like okay even if it's
13365s	not our optimal play style and not the
13368s	kind of the composition or style of Play
13370s	We want to play maybe we feel like we
13371s	can still win it because Falcons is so
13372s	poor on it uh or is it like okay you
13375s	know we want to play a map that we are
13377s	awesome on uh so circuit yeah so I mean
13381s	this is a perfect example of uh Sigma
13383s	space creation right know you can
13385s	definitely play Baptist Lucio here with
13387s	the sigma uh you can switch to ratra if
13390s	need be so uh pretty good map sing it
13393s	was one of the ones that we mentioned
13394s	like hey this would probably be
13396s	one of the go here this is the kind of
13397s	map that also allows Kai to lean a
13399s	little bit more into that hit scan
13400s	prowess when you saw the Cy from him
13403s	there on Antarctic Peninsula a hero that
13405s	doesn't really like having the fight
13406s	taken to him too much they are proper on
13408s	the other team talk about like yeah it's
13410s	great that he can play hits again but
13411s	it's not they like a proper in stalker
13414s	obviously a a huge amount of flexibility
13416s	and it does look like we might even be
13417s	looking at a substitution here now when
13420s	we see a sub at Falcon's
13423s	support that usually is a huge Telegraph
13426s	about the kind of comp they want to play
13427s	because madid is thei specialist on this
13430s	roster yeah and it looks like
13432s	potentially you have him coming in here
13433s	for this second map so uh that would be
13436s	uh you know ilari composition uh for
13440s	them so uh look we've seen teams run it
13443s	on Midtown right uh Midtown we've seeni
13445s	run I know throughout Na and EU uh to
13449s	pretty mixed results I would say uh so
13453s	we we'll see what Falcons decides to do
13455s	but that would be a clear tell to me uh
13458s	that they're going to be running that we
13459s	don't have to think back far at least to
13461s	a metag game where iari was very
13462s	powerful if you recall how the World Cup
13465s	went down towards the end of last year
13467s	right that was where team Saudi Arabia
13468s	really I would say lever or I would say
13470s	abuse they Leverage is putting in too
13472s	nicely they played at Sigma they played
13473s	that very very very well and ended up
13475s	actually shocking all of us by taking
13477s	that win over team China who were very
13479s	much you know with gu in the lineup very
13481s	much locked in to try and play those
13483s	dive compositions and Sur was sick on
13485s	that Hero at World Cup right uh know you
13487s	kind of think of his hero pool as a flex
13490s	support you know with obviously you know
13492s	can play the Baptist at an extremely
13494s	high level the Yari probably you know
13496s	the strongest hero that we've seen yeah
13498s	you m was known definitely as like an an
13499s	player as well before Yi was was very
13501s	aggressive and I want to point out like
13503s	and we kind of touched on it here this
13505s	an lineup definitely seems set up to try
13507s	and keep ghost on the Baptist keep Masa
13509s	of course uh you know on the Lucio some
13513s	substitutions though coming in here of
13514s	course and it's not just Maj that's
13516s	actually switching into the lineup as
13518s	far as we know here so we do have OB see
13520s	a little bit of moment for setup but
13523s	this Falcons team has a pretty
13526s	terrifying bench to work with Matt I I
13528s	mean the roster is just so strong all
13530s	throughout so looks like you're going to
13531s	see a change in terms of tank it looks
13534s	like potentially H coming in here uh in
13537s	suret we have Smurf and harit on this
13539s	team so uh you you know talk about
13541s	flexibility I think that Falcons can
13543s	absolutely get there Zan of course
13547s	coming in here World Cup champion also
13550s	uh let's not forget just how much he was
13552s	able to accomplished during his during
13555s	the OverWatch
13556s	League terrifying player and this is
13559s	like okay fine for Falcons like if you
13561s	want to go here we will match that type
13563s	of composition right they're probably
13564s	not going to play the Baptist like we
13565s	talked about probably play thear uh kind
13568s	of a variation of it and any kind of
13570s	Rush comp as well like you bring hanin
13572s	in of course uh you know probably gave
13574s	us the single most incredible you know
13576s	passage of play on junker queen that was
13577s	like something that really blew our
13579s	minds I think playoffs last year truly
13581s	truly incredible stuff and again Chia
13584s	remains in the roster alongside Mar
13586s	which is yeah pretty incredible
13588s	obviously no substitutions here for
13590s	that's something that's worth bringing
13592s	up Chase torch is not with this team and
13595s	honestly these guys they're kind of
13597s	quiet right and I think when crimzo came
13600s	out of this roster and into the coach
13601s	role he had to find the player to step
13604s	up in his absence to be the vocal
13607s	component and also the person that lifts
13609s	him back up when things get tough yeah
13611s	they they talked about it when we were
13612s	talking to them that you know uh Chase
13613s	is definitely The Vibes uh guy on vies
13616s	mer right yeah the the person on the
13618s	team I would say like I'm the Vibes
13619s	person the talent team uh yeah uh where
13623s	you know you don't have that player
13625s	right it it can be tough right you have
13627s	that long break now you come back you
13629s	lose map number one like keep keep the
13631s	vibe Spirit High the energy going cuz uh
13634s	this wouldn't be the only game they play
13635s	right they they'd have another game cuz
13637s	I I'll be honest with you uh when I saw
13639s	you know we obviously got had a chance
13640s	to chat with these guys which was
13641s	awesome but initially I saw that we were
13643s	talking to Ken kempster and I was like
13645s	how on Earth are we going to get answers
13646s	out of these guys they're very they're
13648s	very Tas turn individuals like they
13650s	really prefer to let their play do the
13651s	talking and that sort of also follows
13654s	into sort of their team comps but it's
13655s	really been for Stoler and ghost that
13657s	crimo has tried to sort of raise up into
13659s	roles on this team to be vocal to do a
13661s	lot of that calling and master has
13663s	always been involved and master is the
13664s	least of my concerns when it comes to
13665s	like players that are quiet players that
13667s	are you know the guy he's got he's got
13669s	some incredible banter but you know a
13671s	ton of experience to rign as well and I
13674s	think the difficulty will be for INS now
13676s	throughout this series is that let's say
13677s	you even win this map right obviously
13680s	Falcons can choose next map next mode uh
13683s	they can take it something that they
13684s	know that they can play whether it's MAA
13686s	whether it's Dive Right uh you're going
13688s	to have to beat them on one of their
13690s	type of selections uh so you know losing
13693s	that map number one it's actually quite
13695s	right it's almost like a little bit of
13696s	like a home for Advantage where you can
13698s	kind of keep the series in it could have
13700s	been so much worse for we could have
13701s	gone to ilos or a map that really does
13704s	not favor those Rush Styles I I think
13706s	that they're pretty happy to see
13709s	Antarctic Peninsula that is a map where
13710s	we didn't even see uh you know we didn't
13713s	see sub level right we didn't see that
13715s	which again was kind of map where it
13716s	could be a little bit harder to play
13717s	those Rush Styles yeah for uh Falcons
13720s	you know they bring out the ventures
13721s	awesome to see how they uh decided to
13723s	use that hero where uh we talked about
13726s	it right cardiac over drive from B such
13728s	an insane tank cool down very strong uh
13731s	the combo that you know with Venture who
13734s	they they kind of can with their
13735s	abilities gain some Shield you expose
13738s	yourself to a lot of potential damage
13739s	when you pop up uh it's also makes it
13741s	very difficult like you have a Genji in
13743s	your backline The Venture is underground
13745s	then above like you know putting so much
13747s	pressure like who do you exactly focus
13749s	on uh it's really difficult to try and
13751s	manage oh you know what we did do we
13753s	Danny take a moment have a bit of a chat
13755s	with Falcons get to know them better and
13757s	maybe learn a little bit about their
13758s	aspirations here for our owcs major
13761s	number one so let us take a look and
13762s	listen
13765s	it hi everybody Danny Lim here and I'm
13767s	here joined by team Falcons coming all

13781s	food is insane I love it what's a go to

13785s	saying like Kaja and scrims Kaja and
13788s	scrims K like when we push you guys are
13791s	definitely one of the top teams uh in
13793s	wec US right now is there a team that
13795s	you guys consider as Rivals right
13797s	now T Toronto wait why why
13809s	Toronto you guys are literally all
13812s	superstars you guys are like crowd
13813s	favorites you guys are all just like
13814s	really good at the game if you have to
13816s	choose besides from yourself who is the
13819s	best player in your team and
13832s	why I'm going to count to three from
13834s	three 3 two one and then you guys
13836s	everyone uh point at the player that you
13839s	think is the best player on the team
13841s	okay all right I'm going to count here
13842s	we go three two one best best player
13846s	go all right all right we got some we
13848s	got some Smurf okay we got proper we got
13850s	two proper two two Smurf two and two
13855s	okay are you pointing at me you're best
13858s	player thank you bro Smurf why did you
13860s	why did you pick off he's best player
13862s	world champion world champion I
13864s	appreciate you thank you he's world
13866s	champion do you guys like feel pressured
13868s	to perform because there's so many big
13871s	names in the group I don't think there's
13872s	a pressure we're just just going to have
13874s	fun and then everyone how how confident
13876s	are you guys that you guys could win the
13878s	whole event 100% 100%
13888s	100% 100% everyone says 100% they're
13891s	going to win it all right let's see uh
13892s	if that comes true team Falcons thank
13894s	you so much for taking the time to do
13895s	the interview and yeah let's say bye to
13897s	the camera everybody thank you so much
13898s	byebye guys byebye bye-bye
13902s	bye-bye and you have a team Falcons of
13905s	of course putting the feet up a little
13906s	bit in the in the med day before we
13908s	started getting our scrims ironed out
13910s	and ready to hit the stage so far
13911s	they've been immaculate I think that
13913s	first map looked competitive at times
13916s	yes but we got to see them bring the the
13917s	malga the Venture proper on the Genji
13919s	everything you could ask for from this
13921s	team they've delivered now it's some big
13922s	substitutions coming into map number two
13924s	which is circuit Royal yeah and you know
13927s	right I mean they can do basically
13929s	everything in terms of what they can
13931s	bring together uh from a team
13933s	compositionally so you don't think
13935s	there's going to be many weaknesses like
13938s	maybe you feel like okay if we get them
13940s	in a sigma mirror this would this would
13941s	have been a super team in the AL era to
13944s	make that clear yeah oh without a doubt
13946s	right I
13948s	mean Gio Fielder gelder I mean
13952s	up okay yeah sure why not SL me
13956s	up uh you know with with this right like
13959s	okay so now you get them to play Sigma
13962s	based compositions you feel a little bit
13965s	or if you're in right uh like okay fine
13968s	we kind of got them to concede to play a
13970s	mirror potentially right with the subs
13972s	coming in uh this is like must win cuz
13975s	if you can't win on this what do you do
13978s	yeah you know because you can choose map
13980s	mode or type it it's reasonable to
13982s	expect that you have chosen your best
13984s	map here to try and get yourself even in
13986s	the series and get off to a good start I
13988s	mean what Merit is then to saving that
13990s	for later or or like do do you end up
13992s	like okay like you know we end up like
13994s	losing this right in like a sigma Head
13996s	to Head are you like oh maybe we're
13998s	actually better off just trying to like
13999s	bait them into running some MAA stuff
14001s	that we feel like we can kind of counter
14002s	on the different map like if it it goes
14004s	terribly bad so I think it'll add a lot
14007s	of U extra depth strategy uh players
14009s	seem to love it right this has been
14011s	going on uh in the APAC region since the
14013s	start of the owcs so new here for the
14016s	major for the na Neu teams but uh seems
14019s	to be a positive reception all around
14022s	want to point out here of course uh you
14024s	know
14025s	qualification to East WS World Cup aside
14027s	which is obviously what is on the table
14029s	here you also earn an extra
14030s	qualification spot for your region if
14033s	you win here at this
14034s	major yes which which is a a huge thing
14037s	right you know a huge prize for a lot of
14039s	teams here from all over the world so
14041s	well all of these teams you know kind of
14043s	competing uh to get into ewc as you see
14047s	there it'll be the 24th to 28th of July
14050s	so I probably going to see the best
14052s	teams right from all these different
14054s	regions repres Ed there again this would
14056s	be just a a taste of that for you here
14059s	how many wins away is Jake's team from
14061s	ewc well they're one win in so I heard
14064s	it was a I heard it was a four a four
14066s	win I heard how many scrims you done
14069s	zero scrims find you a team that wins
14072s	games on zero scrims what you guys too
14074s	busy what Jake C needs a little wild
14077s	card spot little wild card pretend like
14079s	he's got a real job and do have time
14080s	what you talking about this guy's
14082s	streaming every day hey my man is
14083s	coaching he is coaching a storm that's
14086s	true coaching calling Heroes right
14088s	that's right to talk about that private
14090s	Co private coaching as well oh that's it
14092s	yeah that that call yeah yeah he's been
14095s	coaching
14096s	JS all right K they're on your screen
14098s	Sat by kevster both your DPS players
14100s	here on team
14101s	end can be uh a little bit hard to get
14104s	them to express themselves at times once
14106s	in game I think you can see more uh than
14108s	you bargain for when it comes to the
14109s	skill side of things and there are two
14111s	players that can come alive at any time
14112s	right you get a little bit more of a
14113s	long range na you know give Kai some
14116s	more space on the hit scan right he can
14118s	definitely start to come alive uh make
14121s	things pretty difficult here for Falcons
14124s	still he has to tangle with either
14126s	proper or stalker or both right so yes
14129s	in in a nutshell in a vacuum rather but
14130s	we've seen him you know in the past
14132s	whether it be on like the Widowmaker or
14133s	like an ash or something like that
14135s	definitely go toe-to-toe with players
14136s	that he has been expected to do that on
14138s	a regular basis so very much another day
14140s	at the office for
14141s	him circuit Royal moments away folks
14144s	here as second map in this series P's
14147s	already off to a hot
14149s	start but now courts enter been a to
14151s	choose map mode and
14153s	location and they've chosen a map that
14156s	does not allow for those heavy hitting
14158s	Fast close up comps it is all about long
14161s	distance keeping your opponent at arms
14162s	length maybe some hit scan in the mix
14165s	yeah you would think uh know long range
14167s	hit scan Ash Widowmaker uh soj in the
14171s	mix so uh in they will be on offense to
14174s	pick things
14175s	team Falcons on defense here stalker has
14180s	been playing so much power in rank this
14182s	is a all right so I don't think anyone
14184s	had this on their bingo card so this is
14186s	a a widow far composition uh at least
14189s	how it looks here at the start uh so we
14191s	have seen I know uh these Heroes it's
14194s	been kind of like rumored like okay
14196s	littleit A little bit of Life Weaver in
14198s	the mix uh guess a weaver a kind of
14201s	Mercy alternative uh you know have the
14203s	devs imag like we uh took a little bit
14206s	to get there well he has great
14207s	throughput right so his killing numbers
14209s	are excellent and also the ability to
14210s	You Yank someone out of trouble should
14212s	they need it quite critical here defar
14215s	it's the same I guess concept as you use
14217s	it on I canol defense right you can get
14219s	a lot of good damage while staying out
14220s	of line of sight C instantly switching
14223s	over towards the Tracer though yeah and
14225s	the soldier is going to be good here for
14227s	Kai to kind of like form some damage on
14229s	the shield from hanin and then maybe try
14232s	and land a rail shot on the stalker but
14234s	the damage stalker is going to be able
14235s	to put down if we can kind of play from
14238s	a pretty safe position it's going to be
14239s	really difficult to live through you
14241s	have good Shield pressure from your bti
14242s	but of course also your far those shots
14244s	are just going to be aimed at that
14245s	corner do a lot of Splash damage and
14247s	it's going to be a little frustrating
14248s	for Thea to actually set up a stage in
14250s	ground here proper on the other hand
14252s	could play quite safely but already you
14254s	see Falcons giving a bit of ground might
14256s	be the pressure from kst to forcing them
14258s	to reposition yeah and I think trying to
14260s	position around this corner right it's
14262s	much safer from stalker to play uh from
14264s	this type of angle as that take pedal
14267s	that it looks like actually just gets
14268s	elevator right off the rip there
14270s	somebody standing right underneath it
14271s	put his place down s getting these shots
14275s	down really needs to connect some
14277s	consecutive damage to put that heal
14278s	pressure down on an properly like grip
14281s	to draw Han Bim back he a little bit low
14282s	now the kinetic grass being used by Balo
14284s	he's very healthy for the time being
14286s	card so up on the corner Mar hit by an
14288s	accretion there able to get back to his
14290s	feet but there's the far damage and the
14292s	concussive shot takes ghost down stalker
14295s	can use these pedals to never have to
14296s	give up altitude can play from a
14298s	moderately High position at all times
14300s	yeah they're using the pedal to get
14301s	Stalker into the air first right instead
14304s	of using all the
14305s	boosters and that allows him to stay in
14308s	the air for much longer so a really
14310s	interesting use here uh of the life
14312s	Weaver in the far
14314s	combination he hasn't used his actual
14316s	rocket pack at all has a little bit of
14319s	height to work with and what do you do I
14321s	mean you're not going to look up and try
14322s	and get rid of the pedal K has to punish
14324s	here but an awkward angle for him to
14325s	work on he a like
14327s	G going to be caught up in that one so
14330s	yes he'll take half his health in damage
14332s	Matrix here Har have to respect it but
14334s	it's going to be a sound barrier coming
14335s	out now ster might choose this moment to
14337s	go aggressive Tree of Life pop down and
14339s	proper finally is brought to heal by
14340s	keer the Tracer achieves it aim andio
14344s	also getting taken down now I mean you
14346s	have little to work with his Falcons
14348s	Haring trying to hold his ground Mar for
14349s	two as Super Sub comes in point blank
14352s	bar comes out but is going to catch
14353s	salker inside flux that's two k with an
14356s	important rail to bring down the Menace
14358s	that was
14359s	Mar and Falcons are forced back as have
14362s	four minutes to play yes uh ma gets two
14366s	there and it makes it really interesting
14368s	towards the end rocket barrage there uh
14370s	but not enough damage as B ends up
14372s	taking out the far there quick turn look
14375s	at this Falcons actually they'll play a
14377s	breakr so break back back line now
14379s	they'll have a sojourn of their own
14381s	stalker will just going of move over and
14383s	play that far okay so Anna now when
14385s	makes a lot of changes here across the
14387s	board as for INS right you get keer away
14390s	from the Tracer over to the may as now
14392s	they're going to play more of a rush
14394s	this is why ins chose this map this is
14396s	where they want to find the biggest Edge
14397s	in composition nice accretion Sola
14400s	trying to push up here after having to
14401s	move away from that one here comes Kai
14404s	though overclock really starting to
14406s	leave a mark the May though doesn't
14407s	prevent Falcons from backing up but
14409s	proper still not able to get away Chio
14411s	on the brick has the shield bash away
14413s	from that disruptor shot now ster will
14414s	only play the off angle while he can
14417s	Falcons are trying to group up they're
14418s	trying to find a chance to come back in
14420s	but their bionade isn't enough of a stag
14421s	ground for them to get into this fight
14423s	they've been stifled forced back inside
14425s	the second part of the map here and that
14426s	checkpoint is just around the corner
14428s	stalker has to dive in but has zero
14430s	support and eventually Falcons must
14432s	concede this stage this is why an want
14434s	to play circuit yeah they basically get
14437s	second Point here for three right just
14439s	one fight basically gets them all the
14442s	way through that second checkpoint which
14444s	is m massive they push up they stoa
14446s	finding proper there as they're kind of
14448s	pushing up towards that choke is massive
14450s	soier in such a large portion of damage
14452s	that the Falcon is going to put down
14454s	right the so rails are really what's
14456s	going to allow stalker to get into that
14458s	back line finish players off rather
14460s	quickly Falcons have to give up much to
14462s	this stage pretty much straight away
14464s	because they need to operate on this
14465s	High Ground they drop down now as the
14467s	car get close to the
14469s	corner the mared really wants to
14471s	facilitate a big moment for proper his
14473s	sojourn incredible World beating with an
14475s	anab boost even stronger here they come
14478s	May in the Forefront now for R but
14480s	they've lost K instantly St is able to
14481s	get in there before the sound barrier
14482s	can be activated that's a problem for
14484s	the European Squad Annihilation now
14486s	stalker not too bothered by it they want
14488s	to try and burst for stol down but it's
14489s	just so durable Master sound barrier out
14492s	of the picture he's off the table stalk
14494s	and proper now combining the DPS
14495s	fighting the mark and entering an
14497s	awkward position wrong side off the C
14500s	for a moment Falcons finally Strike Back
14503s	In terms of ultimate it's used though is
14505s	that is that a fight that you're okay
14507s	with if your in right you end up using
14510s	uh your ratra Al right uh but you're
14513s	going to switch anyway you use beat uh
14515s	the the bad part is is they don't use
14517s	blade right on the other side uh but
14519s	there were three ultimates used there by
14521s	Falcons I think the hardest thing will
14523s	be stalker with this blade how do you
14525s	end up living on through this m switches
14527s	over to the bti
14529s	here s would love to get some purches
14532s	with this play but it's always risky now
14533s	up against the B
14535s	go a little low has to go for an
14537s	immortality so early s is right drob
14539s	done gets out meets him in the door that
14542s	is massive and look at Haring getting
14544s	caught out keer does more than enough
14546s	here and this is dangerous now for
14548s	Falcons 2 minutes 23 still to work with
14550s	Forin they are blazing through the map
14552s	yeah PR uses the overclock they can't
14554s	really step up right there's a blizzard
14555s	in the way and also there's an a matrix
14559s	there from Ghost is p getting very close
14561s	to the Finish Line ster goes in the m
14564s	gets cleaned up by the Swift strike and
14565s	so there's a reset available and another
14566s	one for stalker he's far from done
14569s	that's four for stalker M gets involved
14571s	as well and that is a convincing
14574s	defensive burst here from Falcons
14576s	there's still loads of time left though
14578s	right a minute 55 the cart basically at
14581s	the end of the map so looks like stalker
14583s	now will go over to the Hanzo here Hanzo
14585s	just great to get those like just blog
14588s	cross M finish a player off right Shield
14590s	presses right Shield pressure is really
14591s	good cuz I think what ins wants to do
14593s	here is trying and take this High Ground
14594s	control you see them wrapping around get
14596s	this overclock one or two picks you drop
14598s	down to the C you have a map completion
14600s	it doesn't mean they're going to B heads
14601s	at this choke a fair bit so stalk is
14604s	still having the ability to Traverse up
14605s	these walls get onto the other side of
14607s	them might be important dis the shot for
14609s	they going to come forward now it's
14610s	going to be an overclock here from the
14612s	Brit yeah they try and get a May wall
14614s	there to kind of like split some players
14616s	off also block that ant Matrix but
14618s	everybody just kind of uh evades this
14620s	for Falcon so pretty nice there from was
14623s	licking his lips there though that was
14624s	so close to the edge of the map he was
14626s	looking for an environmental that's
14627s	Risky Business Master he's a slippery
14630s	Stow hard to catch but eventually storm
14631s	Arrow will find him stalker RAB save off
14634s	the thr the Lucio yep that is a very
14636s	dead btia makes sure of it rally low for
14639s	the rest of Falcons hin also has a flux
14641s	of his own Falcons are in a pretty
14642s	decent spot defensively and they bring
14644s	down the sigma they'll con see The High
14646s	Ground for now but hin has no intention
14648s	of giving it up for
14649s	good you lose this fight here if you're
14652s	in you're going to have another opport
14654s	here not to much time now yeah no not I
14657s	mean that well that takes so long to
14658s	develop right at that choke you're just
14660s	kind of like playing that Sigma poke
14663s	damage game there but here's the
14665s	positive for INS right you get besten
14667s	now on the ratra you can get really
14669s	aggressive behind the Soundbar you have
14670s	an an Matrix of your own and you have
14672s	this blizzard which was good for a fight
14674s	win the last
14675s	time final fight comes up now it's have
14678s	to make this blizzard work he wanted to
14681s	wall off this top high ground you want
14682s	him to drop down get value out of the
14685s	beat make sure you're playing close
14687s	together and still a little bit CAG
14689s	though because har Ste up to the choke
14690s	there no he still has a gratic flux
14692s	here's a blizzard Dragon strike comes in
14693s	from The High Ground and immediately
14695s	keer has to go into ice block flux
14696s	though this could be big Ker's in
14698s	trouble held Loft and turned into a pin
14700s	cushion by stalker and Co proper Now
14702s	with an overclock immortality field has
14704s	to be deployed there but it might just
14705s	be too early and it might just be too
14707s	late for R the rap from proper is good
14710s	ghost has no chance of hanging around
14711s	here and ultimately Falcons bring to
14714s	three te
14717s	HS Falcons will need basically a full
14721s	map completion though to take the map
14723s	right uh it goes all the way down to the
14725s	wire I think if you're in you're
14727s	probably okay with that in that scenario
14729s	cuz think about it for in right you got
14730s	that distance uh you basically just walk
14733s	through second point so you figure you
14736s	put together a good point uh a defense
14738s	you obviously if you just get two fights
14741s	there and that second checkpoint you're
14742s	going to burn a little bit more time off
14743s	the block uh you figure in that scenario
14746s	you're actually in a pretty decent spot
14748s	if you're in potentially of getting a
14750s	hole reality is though Harin not having
14753s	to switch to ratra for a
14755s	second I mean they they come from
14758s	Falcons though being able to keep the
14759s	ram like you know away being a to find
14762s	Value from that sort of poke from Han
14765s	that's a big deal how do you feel that
14766s	Hanzo switch in the end does it have the
14768s	impact you think stalker is going to uh
14770s	so the dragon is actually pretty
14771s	effective right they drop an an tricks
14773s	they use lizard they're trying to put
14775s	pressure onto hanin uh it's actually a
14777s	life grip uh from the life Weaver that
14779s	kind of brings him up to The High Ground
14781s	uh but that dragon is shot into that
14783s	area right so there can't be any
14784s	followup potentially split some players
14786s	off so uh quite effective in terms of
14788s	just overall damage output and then also
14790s	the ultimate to kind of split
14792s	players double hit SC for the Defenders
14796s	keer reasonbly often do you see him pick
14799s	up that soj in the past tangling with
14801s	some of the best in the world like merid
14803s	and such 3 2 1 out of the gates we go
14807s	Falcons here do have the fire still no
14810s	switch off and also a break for Chio
14813s	yeah a little bit of a safer composition
14815s	here uh from Falcons maybe a quick wi s
14818s	wind swap back there from proper as you
14821s	know in running the C with the so right
14824s	so this just long range pulk damage I
14827s	think the Cassie pretty good obviously
14829s	he's almost like mechanism for keer
14831s	right know the the hinder grade there
14835s	that's not good you cannot linger out in
14838s	his sights like
14839s	that so like prop is going to punish you
14841s	10 times out of 10 and end don't even
14843s	have the speed to pull back properly
14845s	they'd be lucky to get out of this fight
14846s	without losing more flers man I mean
14848s	they they just kind of high tail it out
14849s	right they don't want to take any chip
14851s	damage any damage there would have been
14853s	a clear go sign there from Falcons get
14856s	like a stalker with a dash into that
14858s	backline as he's already putting some
14860s	pressure on a keer here the what down as
14864s	uh looks like Falcon now just positioned
14866s	around this corner trying to take
14868s	checkpoint a St playing the off angle
14870s	here might be able to get around the
14871s	shield again it's proper though finding
14873s	Kai he outranges Cassidy so effectively
14875s	get that range imortality F also out of
14878s	the pitch now and no they're just
14879s	feeding themselves into the wood chipper
14881s	becoming glorified mulch to the flower
14884s	bed surrounding this
14886s	map and this is a bad sign for right
14888s	these are the compositions that they
14890s	feel like they are much stronger than
14892s	falcons are Falcons obviously have to
14894s	make some substitutions uh for players
14897s	to come into play these types of
14899s	competions uh right there so they just
14902s	roll through them on that first
14904s	checkpoint out of the gate we come once
14906s	more and C with an amplification Matrix
14908s	to play off of but Falcons absolutely
14910s	have the momentum here disrupt the shot
14913s	may allow B to maneuver into a position
14915s	to lead from the front but his Falcons
14917s	team unlikely to give you much of an
14919s	opportunity to
14920s	breathe ni again really a baptism of
14924s	fire for this player getting CAU up into
14925s	the biggest of matches okay M from both
14927s	sides flux only catches the St oh he's
14930s	going to go down to this it has to be
14931s	the morality field good timing from
14933s	Ghost hold it for the right moment
14934s	eventually Harin is able to remove it
14936s	though steps ahead grasp look at that
14938s	Bloody health bar and Mar's able to
14940s	bring pistola down in the background
14942s	sound barrier for an not nearly enough
14944s	they are losing their grip on this
14946s	map he barely even saw Master there just
14950s	turns with another rail gun shot at the
14952s	end so uh just like ENT they kind of
14955s	like walk through up towards that high
14957s	ground that second checkpoint for really
14959s	hanin with that flux that opens things
14962s	up more than 5 minutes on the clock for
14966s	essentially 92 M left there for Falcons
14970s	is this has been a bit of a speed run
14972s	stalker now has an opportunity to turn
14975s	this Dragon Blade into something truly
14977s	fearsome well right they used sound
14979s	barrier uh before so really you're just
14981s	looking can you catch him in a block I
14984s	we we seen it attempted a few times now
14987s	but not successfully they pushing St
14989s	away for the acction love the timing has
14991s	to back away but he's forced out the
14992s	immortality field the where did that go
14995s	does it get interrupted it's unclear
14998s	Fons are still very very healthy and
14999s	stalker is satisfied just poking away
15001s	because all this time the card is moving
15004s	towards the end of the map with multiple
15005s	players on it ends have to take action
15008s	they surge out now onto The High Ground
15009s	they finally get that pick off on CH
15012s	speed boost from mastera has to into
15013s	instrumental there yes the fight get a
15017s	really split there and that type of
15018s	position is not entirely done you're
15021s	going to have Chio coming off of respawn
15022s	you do have the large you have the
15024s	larger source of healing alive here for
15025s	Falcons that's going to be an ant Matrix
15027s	but you lose maget you still work with
15029s	this though har moves up with flux look
15031s	how over Stoler is and he's already used
15033s	the kinetic grasp in fact he gets
15034s	ignored by the rest of Falcons during
15036s	the duration so no free health no
15038s	overshield and here come the Falcons
15040s	looking to charge down the door 4
15042s	minutes in the game that is ridiculous
15045s	switches to the ratra rally a flux and
15048s	potentially another blade here for
15050s	Falcons say he has flux dude Mas is
15053s	going to have to try and live and maybe
15055s	get a beat off here uh will be Kai with
15058s	an overclock from The High Ground M
15059s	field has to be used now but in for a
15061s	penny in for the pounds says Kai there's
15063s	the beat probably not thinking much
15064s	about his National currency right now
15066s	he's trying to stay alive in the
15068s	game stalky here to stay scarce on that
15070s	low ground and what how fi already gone
15072s	but it doesn't matter because there was
15073s	enough of a window for Falcons to
15075s	throttle ants this one is
15079s	[Applause]
15083s	over it's a end map pick they take us to
15087s	Circuit Royale try and force those Sigma
15090s	ratra comes and they get taken to In and
15091s	Out and I mean that is a that is a
15095s	throwback you got so easy ATT that she
15097s	start
15098s	laughing's laughing yeah yeah she's not
15101s	even paid to laugh at you I me she's
15103s	laughing just cuz you actually thought
15104s	it was haries you know good look out for
15107s	I mean Falcons just look so strong there
15109s	even though uh you're playing this like
15112s	Sigma based composition that maybe you
15113s	feel like you're a little bit stronger
15114s	on for in they still have honin they
15117s	still have CER on the other side seren
15119s	comes in you thought you played the
15120s	played a lot of Baptist strictly only
15122s	the Baptist on yeah the maybe in the
15125s	spawn a little bit but they kind of play
15126s	the Baptist or out light Weaver
15129s	sometimes brri other times really strong
15132s	showing there from Falcons or S of as
15134s	well of just how incredible CH is at
15135s	that brick the rally timing was very
15138s	very good and you noticed again how like
15139s	you know Genji does have to work around
15141s	a lot of these support ultimates so
15143s	stalker has to BU his time we saw a
15145s	blade drawn there that seemed to forc
15147s	out like an ice wall that forced out an
15148s	immortality field he says you know what
15150s	my play for their immortality field it's
15152s	a trade I take 100% of the time and
15154s	Harman hold to gravitic flux for like a
15157s	minute going to the last phase of the
15158s	map and it's almost the dam sword that
15160s	an have to face down here in the final
15162s	moments let's take it back look back
15163s	over this map as it went down and it
15164s	felt like just a lot of searching from
15166s	in the entire map to feel like what they
15169s	could get going right uh we saw them
15172s	bringing out the May uh in combination
15174s	with the sojourn we saw Cassidy sojourn
15177s	we saw Tracer uh switches from the you
15180s	know backline in you know in the tank R
15182s	right uh know whether it be ratra Sigma
15184s	ratra Sigma uh it just felt like they
15186s	never could get like the upper hand in
15188s	the matchup or if they did for a fight
15191s	it would just be quick swaps there from
15192s	Falcons to counter and you can see how
15194s	much is asked if you bapti player in a
15196s	map like this ghost has you know a big
15198s	job to step up to I think he does really
15200s	well like in general I think his you
15202s	know immortality field timings are very
15204s	good because fer is getting isolated
15206s	he's getting rushed into and there's
15208s	obviously the threat of him getting
15209s	picked off quite often H and says if I
15211s	just catch the enemy Sigma inside this
15213s	flux I'm happy enough with that I can
15215s	make something happen there what do you
15217s	do mapwise now with your in uh it looks
15220s	like uh so uh jet coming out with the
15223s	game looks like you'll see hanen leave
15225s	as well uh so what what would you do
15229s	here if you're in like are you going to
15231s	try and okay let's play another Sigma
15233s	rantum map or let's do something that a
15236s	little bit more
15238s	open all I mean Midtown was one of the
15240s	other ones I actually would have thought
15241s	potentially but the fact we are seele
15244s	we're seeing a switch at tank with Smurf
15245s	coming back in
15247s	here right I mean Midtown look I mean
15249s	you can play some you're not playing
15252s	Hollywood not playing 66 kings are just
15255s	going to play I mean so Kings Row if you
15258s	believe you can kind of like do a nice
15260s	hold on the first point right and hold
15262s	High Ground I get it if you give that up
15266s	I feel like you're just going to get
15267s	slaughtered by the MAA throughout the
15269s	map
15270s	colosa is that an option yeah I think I
15274s	think the the push Maps right it gives
15275s	you a little bit of a kind of like 5050
15278s	right where maybe you feel like uh you
15280s	can play some of the long range hit scan
15282s	right uh maybe you kind to play a h of
15283s	your own uh get some damage down at
15287s	it'll be numani here so uh numani you
15290s	can get like a high ground setup there
15292s	on defense on that first point uh lots
15295s	of high ground on throughout it uh maybe
15297s	you feel like you can kind of take
15298s	advantage you can't sell this to me as a
15300s	rush man there's no way no no no not at
15303s	all I mean uh but uh we we talk like
15306s	Falcons is so onedimensional they're
15307s	just going to put you know Smurf in the
15309s	game and they're going to be able to do
15311s	just about everything uh I mean what you
15313s	would say Smurf I mean you can play like
15316s	Sigma Ram but like you probably want him
15318s	on just about everything else uh you
15320s	feel like there's another alternative
15322s	another option there for them to
15324s	play how many Heroes do we see ker on
15326s	their last
15328s	map quite a few yeah trace of the May of
15331s	course was was a a big factor there we
15334s	saw the double hit scan he picked up the
15335s	sojourn for a time right seems
15338s	reasonable you want to try and find a
15339s	way to pressure down a potential far
15341s	comp by going for double hit scan
15343s	really pay off for them and I must say
15345s	even though we didn't see shock and a
15347s	moments from stalk kasara the combo with
15349s	the life you can see just how not she is
15351s	when she never really has to touch grass
15353s	yeah it's a it's a really kind of like a
15355s	annoying uh combination they end up
15358s	pulling out here so like we talked about
15360s	H played great but Smurf will come back
15362s	in and that insane backline of Fielder
15366s	and Chio getting back together again and
15368s	we saw obviously the preference for Anna
15371s	from Fielder which I do think is always
15373s	sort of have been a Fielder special uh
15375s	I'm see having the Baptista man to lean
15377s	on at least we don't have to watch
15378s	Fielder play Moira
15380s	anymore that's very
15383s	2022 you you could play The Far here
15385s	right on the B uh know we we've seen far
15388s	historically I would say it's been one
15390s	of their most ubiquitous Maps no we
15393s	remember we had Nani was out of the map
15395s	Pool for like more than a year yes I
15397s	want to say the entirety of 2023 was
15400s	unselectable yeah it just disappeared
15402s	for a little bit we you know where New
15404s	Bonnie went new Bonnie kind of came back
15406s	uh and I I think players are obviously
15408s	like pretty split on new sure uh but
15411s	this is a map that in the past right
15414s	know you have that off angle you can put
15416s	down some damage uh with that far right
15418s	kind of like push up towards that high
15420s	ground on defense on that first point uh
15423s	I think the hardest thing is like second
15424s	point on n b right the spawn point so
15426s	far away and it makes it really
15428s	difficult to play and for those who are
15429s	just joining us welcome of course we
15430s	have two matches happening
15432s	simultaneously here we have a
15433s	B stream _ Esports B if you're over on
15436s	Twitch or YouTube we've got uh obviously
15439s	we got jaws and necra there and that's
15440s	NRG shot going up against space station
15443s	gaming so that is happening summmer
15444s	taneously yep we don't know the results
15446s	but could be done could still be gone
15449s	you have time to ask here but yeah well
15450s	we're checking you have time to check
15451s	yeah these are both upper bracket
15453s	matches right so again double
15455s	elimination tournament format so the Lo
15458s	loser of these matches behind us they
15459s	will obviously drop down still have
15460s	another opportunity here which will
15462s	could create some very interesting inter
15463s	Regional you know rematches the loser of
15466s	this though will play again today right
15468s	so they'll play again later so you had a
15471s	little bit of a you know break now you
15472s	play this match and then you you kind of
15474s	have another one later for your real
15476s	tournament lives yeah and again you
15478s	already have a very brief window where
15480s	you know who your opponent's actually
15482s	going to be so you have to figure out
15483s	what your strategy going to be what Maps
15485s	you going to be selecting how you
15486s	exactly going to respond to that we're
15487s	obviously still waiting to jump into map
15489s	number three we have a substitution so
15490s	that involves a couple of moving Parts
15492s	here uh namely the side of Falcons who
15494s	just seem to find Superstars sat in the
15496s	closet and just R them out to uh put a
15498s	keyboard or Mouse on their hands and let
15499s	them go yeah I I know with a roster uh
15502s	that talented right with all the
15504s	different kind of like map mode
15505s	combinations that you can obviously play
15508s	uh they they want to utilize these
15509s	players and you know what they probably
15510s	feel like is the most efficient manner
15512s	so like we talked about Smurf comes back
15515s	in Fielder comes in as well as uh we go
15518s	to Nani a little bit of a maybe not like
15521s	a a real surprise pick here uh for in
15524s	but uh maybe not the map that we had
15526s	anticipated no we but I think like we're
15529s	thinking a little one-dimensionally I
15530s	think when we talk about you know what
15532s	an's preference is going to be we said
15534s	look it's very un likely they opt into
15536s	what could be a map that favors the dive
15539s	composition or causes them to have to
15540s	Trend away from their Rush style but
15542s	they've obviously got something prepared
15544s	for it here and want to bear in mind
15545s	even though they have a very strong
15547s	stated Preference they have DPS players
15549s	that can cover basically every role so
15552s	staller
15553s	you know in his time especially in the
15555s	league we've also seen him play things
15556s	like Diva I don't think there was ever
15558s	really a preference of a St to play
15559s	Winston that's just no not that's not
15561s	been a hero that we've ever Associated
15563s	him with yeah in in terms of the the
15566s	backline right like Lucio Baptist like
15569s	uh it could be quite difficult maybe
15571s	they have a little bit of a surprise
15573s	here for us right you know Masa play a
15575s	lot of bre we could play Brig uh here we
15578s	just saw that uh Falcons ended up
15580s	playing the brig a little bit there in
15582s	combination with the bti so he's
15584s	obviously Mara we're talking about a
15586s	player who came out of retirement do you
15587s	remember his retirement twet hey every
15590s	OverWatch player has retired a few times
15592s	it was it was the most um unceremonious
15595s	I mean again the GU is he HED from
15598s	Finland and definitely um I would say
15600s	sometimes falls into some of the
15601s	stereotypical traits like being very
15602s	understated like doesn't blow anything
15604s	out of proportion he was like I'm
15605s	retiring
15608s	by and he's back and now he's back OB
15611s	we're obviously all the happier for it
15613s	so couple moments here FKS and we'll be
15616s	jumping straight into numani we've got
15619s	our number two from EMA taking on our
15620s	number two from I can't believe it was
15623s	number two from APAC yeah it's so
15626s	they've looked to Cut Above and there's
15627s	like a lot of there's been a lot of
15628s	discussion about are we going back to an
15630s	Era where you know teams from South
15632s	Korea absolutely terrifying going to
15634s	kind of win everything and there's been
15636s	a decent amount of I'd say discourse on
15638s	that topic we've had a lot of our you
15640s	know Western teams think no we can
15642s	absolutely handle these guys remember a
15643s	lot of the players have played alongside
15645s	played against these like South Korean
15646s	Superstars for a while so I expect this
15648s	era to be more competitive in that inter
15650s	Regional sense than the preal one for
15652s	example if you can remember that far I
15654s	mean you think back to OverWatch World
15655s	Cup which isn't too long ago right
15657s	extremely competitive right uh obviously
15659s	self Korea does not win that event so
15662s	Finland makes top four as they always
15663s	seem to do it's the team from China and
15666s	Saudi Arabia in the finals right so uh I
15668s	think that kind of gives the rest of the
15670s	world uh hope that they've kind of
15672s	caught up in terms of I know style of
15675s	play whatnot I think though it's also
15676s	helpful that like uh know when you look
15678s	at the Asian region right so many teams
15680s	made up with like Superstar players it's
15681s	like such a great cool team to SC from
15684s	see I'm not seeing the catching up
15686s	you're not see I'm not seeing it right
15687s	now we've seen two games yes you're
15689s	already done yeah I'm I'm not seeing it
15691s	yet that's all I'm saying I have no what
15692s	do you think yeah so laughing I I'm not
15694s	I listen I have seen no evidence this is
15698s	the number two team from AP this is not
15699s	the number one right and they are they
15702s	this is a this a paddling that they are
15704s	handling out right now a very like a
15705s	very convincing Circle Royal Well maybe
15708s	the catching up isn't in this game maybe
15711s	it's later we're going to catch up with
15712s	you guys speaking of on the other side
15714s	of this quick break stick around it's
15715s	going to be Falcons versus an here map
15716s	number three will soon be upon us
15750s	he
15755s	[Music]
15766s	n
15768s	[Music]
15812s	surprisingly it's Nani on the cards here
15815s	for our third map in this series a map
15818s	that ANS have selected to stay alive in
15821s	this upper bracket and as a result we're
15823s	expecting something a little special
15825s	from them because their second chances
15827s	have run dry or maybe not maybe it's the
15830s	same kind of Sigma based compositions
15833s	that they've been running and they feel
15834s	like uh numani gives them uh an
15837s	opportunity to capitalize on some of
15839s	those things make it a little bit even
15840s	harder uh for Falcons to play around and
15843s	maybe you feel like you can't play the
15844s	MAA here uh maybe you kind of have an
15847s	idea that they wouldn't match Sigma so
15849s	it forces them to something different
15850s	completely it's very reasonable here
15852s	Sigma comp the problem is there are some
15854s	maps where if you are playing dive you
15856s	can just ignore the sigma head over his
15858s	head and he doesn't have exactly the
15860s	best capacity to interrupt you like you
15861s	know with the Winston Sigma matchup but
15863s	I think in general very serviceable tank
15866s	on many parts of this map if
15869s	not8 than the rest of
15873s	it I feel like I haven't heard this
15875s	music in absolutely bloody ages yeah I
15878s	was thinking that as well I man this is
15879s	like B uh take a look here
15883s	uh with Falcons on defense so uh at
15887s	least early on it looks like they were
15889s	playing the MAA on defense in
15891s	combination uh with an echo
15895s	Genji little bit of a little bit of a
15898s	pause here is uh we'll come
15903s	back anything else you want to talk
15905s	about man oh my good
15906s	moment hell basketball game last night I
15909s	see some Dallas Mavericks fans here they
15912s	W A Series right right yeah so they're
15913s	going to the uh World Series
15916s	right yeah yeah they're going to the
15919s	going to the world World
15921s	Series Luka donic is a top 500 tank
15924s	player yeah did you know that before
15925s	production told you no
15927s	absolutely absolutely not that's cool
15930s	though shout outs no I saw a tweet about
15932s	it actually I tell a lie I thought he
15933s	was a PGI golfer though you're on
15935s	Twitter I yeah yeah yeah find me at uh
15938s	me at joast give me a follow yeah ask me
15942s	for uh skins I got tons yes we we'll
15945s	figure out what's going on here on stage
15947s	uh but uh looks like potentially you'll
15950s	see stalker playing the echo uh trying
15952s	to burst some players down as they try
15954s	and work through chokes there up towards
15956s	that High Ground where uh V decides to
15958s	play some stuff with ratra or Sigma uh
15961s	probably going to take loads of damage
15962s	from the MAA in Co moving through those
15964s	chokes I mean again like the the general
15966s	approach against the Sigmar to try and
15967s	overwhelm as quickly as possible right
15969s	and so much of magus kit seems to be
15970s	geared towards that I mean kardiac ove
15973s	just to make it such a mismatch in terms
15975s	of you know your durability and your
15977s	your general healing in that moment
15978s	seems to be Geared for exactly that so
15980s	those small Windows if Falcons are able
15982s	to uh you know abuse them especially
15984s	with like the unloading of those uh Echo
15986s	cooldowns especially on the direction of
15988s	a back liner like a ghost for example
15990s	you're going to be in good shape yeah
15992s	with with a Mara right cardiac overdrive
15994s	plus like a Baptist St immortality field
15997s	you know burst and just the overall
15998s	healing it's very difficult uh to take
16001s	down that M feels like it takes tons of
16003s	resources to do so by time you do that
16006s	there's a Genji Echo you know in your
16008s	backline flying above you you've lost
16009s	AER or two and then you're on a trade
16012s	you know on the side of a trade that's
16013s	just not favorable it actually simulates
16015s	uh a similar play style as the like the
16019s	Moira compositions used to like the
16020s	Lucio Moira zombie zie like you try to
16023s	build a cence every other fight
16026s	sometimes consecutive fights if you
16027s	possibly could and to get that mismatch
16029s	in just in the numbers game right you
16031s	have one healing you're also doing some
16034s	extra residual damage again this NS team
16037s	have high expectations coming out of the
16038s	region as the number two we took a
16041s	moment to sit alongside them and get an
16043s	idea of how they're feeling going up
16045s	against the
16048s	world 1 two
16052s	three Mitch lley here with Matt Mel
16054s	we've managed to Wrangle our number two
16056s	seed from the EMA region it is ANS and
16060s	we're here to find out if it is indeed
16061s	too easy for I'm sure you guys have
16063s	watched you know uh an A&A pack how have
16066s	they played are there any teams that
16067s	you're kind of uh excited to see here uh
16070s	students of the game I want to see if
16072s	they can actually win a
16074s	map who's the worst traveler out of you
16077s	who would definitely get lost if they
16078s	had to do it on their own Kev what do
16080s	you me that was a quick answer fast that
16083s	was a quick answer how does that make
16084s	you feel defense this is
16087s	bullsh what's your journey been like
16090s	obviously having been a player for many
16091s	years into a a coaching role I was
16094s	always kind of like very active in terms
16095s	of like strategy and stuff like that so
16097s	it's something that I've always been
16098s	interested in and honestly like moving
16100s	into like the coaching role now it feels
16102s	very natural to me like kind of like
16103s	gather the troops and like create ideas
16105s	like create things out of thin air like
16107s	start to cook and stuff like that how's
16109s	he been as a
16111s	coach
16113s	really really would you guys say that
16116s	you're like a
16117s	more like low energy team
16125s	I want you all to point to who you think
16126s	is the best player on the team one 2
16131s	3 I like this these two we kind of we're
16135s	kind of split yeah I like that I think
16137s	Falcons said that they felt that you
16140s	guys were one of the weakest opponents
16142s	to take on at this event I think it's
16144s	funny for them to say that when despite
16146s	all the resources they have they almost
16147s	didn't make it
16149s	here so it's pretty funny I mean I see
16151s	them as a pretty weak as well here's
16153s	what we're doing we're we're lassoing
16154s	we're going to get one of these chairs
16156s	and you guys get a couple tries this one
16158s	here to get the freaking lasso on one of
16160s	the PO right yeah lasso lass lasso is
16164s	that you say he said lasso oh is it
16169s	lasso oh my
16171s	goodness look at
16179s	this wait how are you supposed to let
16181s	all the whole thing
16183s	yeah yeah you go look at that slack
16191s	oh oh that's easy maybe should make it
16193s	longer well that's all we've got time
16195s	for it thank you so much guys for
16196s	joining us I'm sure that was you guys
16198s	all look like you've had a time of your
16203s	lives it's been great dealing this with
16205s	you see you guys out
16208s	there lasso lasso right yeah why did I
16213s	I don't know how I went my whole life
16214s	for that really I it's not really a word
16215s	that comes up in average conversation
16217s	well you were just doing what you
16218s	usually do is you usually try and like
16220s	make everything sound way cooler than it
16221s	actually is you know add like different
16224s	syllables to it so he's another
16226s	H extra sybles yeah yeah you just kind
16229s	of ADD no you just think any word that's
16230s	not monosyllabic is has extra syllables
16233s	at it unnecessarily N Griffin hit me up
16236s	he's like I can't understand what
16238s	Griffin thinks you probably think I'm
16239s	just put out there I'm Griffin's
16241s	translator
16245s	okay nman of course is our next map on
16248s	Deck we are in and of course we briefly
16250s	saw what the composition for the Falcons
16253s	was shaping up to be one that featured
16254s	an echo one that featured aalgar as well
16256s	they're going to do the thing where they
16257s	walk out of the doors menacingly once
16259s	more and we'll get to delve a little bit
16262s	more into what their composition is
16263s	looking to
16265s	achieve this like it's completely
16267s	different than that be
16269s	funny no is uh it looks like uh they'll
16272s	go back to kind of what they were
16273s	hovering the last time so MAA with an
16275s	Anna in place Fielder was like Landing
16278s	sick bio grenades there at Mountain
16279s	number one look to see if he's able to
16281s	do that yet again as uh in obviously
16285s	some time the pistola wrecking ball
16287s	would be a little bit of a curve ball
16288s	here what is it Masa has his hands on
16290s	his head right
16292s	now I'm I'm not sure oh
16297s	my I can't believe you spoiled it I I
16302s	just saw the guy like yeah
16305s	exactly I'm not sure what to make of
16307s	that I didn't see it until you said it
16309s	and then I saw masa's hands on his head
16313s	and usually when you done him the hands
16314s	on the keyboard and the door's about to
16316s	open it's usually not a great sign uh
16319s	and then you know I I think though that
16321s	this means it's entirely your fault
16324s	would you like to expand upon that a
16325s	little bit you the one you were the one
16328s	who called it out so it's kind of like
16330s	uh smelled the delted scenario
16332s	so you were you you uh you heard it here
16335s	folks liking likening uh in-game issues
16338s	to farts so you saw it first so clearly
16341s	it was it was you I'm so I'm so glad I
16343s	asked you to expand on that further
16345s	folks yeah thanks for sticking with us
16346s	thank you of course for your patience
16347s	we're back and we're paid by the word so
16349s	we're loving life right now I'll tell
16351s	you that one for free no talk so
16354s	much speaking to which you can find him
16356s	over on the vream _ Esports 2 Neer of
16360s	course they are covering the NRG shock
16362s	who if you are just catching up were
16365s	students of the game and then had that
16366s	epic reveal at the start of the show
16367s	they're going up against space station
16369s	gaming that's your na number three
16371s	versus your EMA number one team fighting
16373s	of course in this upper in that you know
16376s	obviously we don't know the match is
16377s	still going up maybe uh finished we
16379s	don't know still got I shot still going
16382s	on map map three M crazy students of the
16386s	game though now uh Shar really fun you
16389s	know uh up and cominging na team don't
16391s	know if a lot of people even expect them
16392s	to be here right needed some things to
16394s	kind of go their way uh to do so uh but
16398s	really awesome that they're here
16399s	competing on land generally considered
16401s	underdogs I mean we heard Kai sort of
16403s	say in a previous interview like he'd be
16404s	surprised if they won a map which is
16406s	okay fighting words to be hon bit of
16407s	bravado there but I mean it's what every
16409s	everybody says like when they get asked
16410s	to talk trash about another team we did
16412s	not think they initially would be
16414s	qualified right there were other NS that
16416s	we thought might be ahead of them
16418s	Luminosity for example right yeah but
16421s	that did not come to past so they've
16423s	really come a long way and in the face
16424s	of leag are also demonstrating some
16426s	great development so I'm looking forward
16428s	to checking in with that again here they
16430s	times to charm here we go we're getting
16432s	this one Masa hands on keyboard they
16435s	haven't dropped the music quite yet cuz
16436s	you know you don't want to you don't
16437s	want to jinx
16438s	it get into this work uh so the thing
16441s	that uh in has been hovering
16443s	consistently has been this Bastion pick
16445s	so uh potentially uh going to come out
16448s	on the spawn is this just a bully onto
16451s	that High Ground it's a lot of damage
16453s	you know when he is obviously in turret
16455s	form uh the the bad part would be uh
16458s	yeah Wheels mode as uh you know most
16460s	people call it little round of the thing
16463s	uh so you're really looking this may
16466s	wall to maybe kind of split the muga off
16468s	uh lets like they're going back to spawn
16470s	I feel like the echo would really
16472s	destroy some of this uh right you can
16475s	stay far enough out of B's range to be
16477s	pretty
16478s	uned BB and you just kind of kite it
16480s	when he's not in Wheels mode an easy
16483s	target de wants to try and wrap around
16485s	the outside here whilst the rest of
16487s	Falcons will be waiting and SM cl to
16490s	take the more direct route already the
16491s	Tracer going to work with a bit of
16493s	flanking but Masa he's taken down by the
16495s	shoulder charge an imortality field here
16497s	for Vista but it gives him the window to
16499s	take proper out of the piter and K is
16501s	still hunting but he's done his job thus
16502s	far a lot of pressure going down on the
16505s	Defenders with proper still on the way
16506s	back from Spawn yeah they're putting a
16508s	lot of pressure on to Smurf and not able
16511s	to get our line to be able to heal him
16513s	there so Fielder up on the opposite side
16516s	High Ground some damage that comes down
16517s	from the tracer's really powerful
16520s	against this right uh tracer's always
16522s	been pretty good yeah pretty good
16524s	against the echo where keer one of the
16527s	best tracers in the world comes up with
16528s	a few picks that kick things off as
16531s	that'll be a fast point a take for yeah
16532s	bit of life here I think for oh sleep D
16535s	there catching on the kst but obviously
16537s	no opportunity for Falcons to
16538s	follow c as well a constant threat for
16541s	someone like Genji whose mad grenade
16544s	would make it very hard Genji to get out
16545s	of the fight fi gets picked off so and
16548s	able to put together a bit of a sagy
16549s	here and push up quite far spice at the
16552s	C will soon fill and they go back to the
16554s	Hanzo so uh we saw Falcons do this early
16557s	on in the series that uh you know when
16560s	they see the sigma on the other side
16561s	there was obviously a venturing play you
16563s	know earlier when they tried you know
16565s	they tried Venture with the Genji uh now
16567s	they actually go and they will play the
16570s	the uh Hano so they we see this look a
16573s	little bit easier at longer range Hanzo
16575s	also pretty scary for the Trac can
16578s	threaten a CID as well absolutely has
16580s	him on
16581s	Range that damage fall off for Cassy
16583s	kicks in pretty quickly B ultim for good
16586s	defensive pressure for this Falcon Squad
16588s	proper going upstairs now to try and get
16589s	the stolen apart with some of those cool
16591s	downs and ker is always on the hunt
16593s	always on the flank there's another
16595s	Swift strike in so proper must have seen
16597s	something an opportunity to go in look
16598s	at those health bars great pressure
16600s	already get a morality Feld forced out
16601s	of end Smurf does go down can f turn
16604s	this into something though a what a
16606s	sleep but there's no way to follow up
16608s	with it properly unless stalker gets
16609s	involved keer was lying prone sleeping
16612s	stalk was able to find the head shot
16613s	also ghost missing means no Baptist but
16616s	they know field got used already that
16617s	three for stalker Chio gets involved
16619s	flattens Kai and now it's just for solo
16622s	it almost feels like a solo effort from
16623s	the Hanzo here at I mean Chio and
16626s	fielder so sick able to live through
16629s	that there as that giio gets right
16631s	around the corner help fielders stay
16633s	alive but know stalker like you
16635s	mentioned some big damage there from
16636s	that high ground it felt like for a
16638s	while it was just both teams just kind
16639s	of like posturing for position they do
16642s	get Smurf rather early and I believe
16644s	Smurf was actually Nano boost at the
16646s	time so a huge kill there just not able
16648s	to convert into the point our observers
16650s	like there's no way we're missing
16651s	anymore the stalker elimination on Deck
16654s	with him big impact after
16657s	switching Sonic here reveals end trying
16659s	to set up on The High Ground maybe give
16661s	Cassidy some room to
16662s	bre a room to do work accre going to
16665s	knock the mar off The High Ground this
16667s	could be problematic for Falcons they
16668s	have to give up that ground as well they
16670s	drop away nice little pulse B there
16672s	Smurf gets brought down as Thea confirms
16674s	the kill it's a gratic flux a big one
16676s	sound barrier now here for R's K is
16678s	starting to feel that pressure and stalk
16679s	is desperately clinging to life and
16681s	Dragon Blade it's an option for proper
16683s	but they've lost their backline and the
16685s	C gets over the line it's they are
16688s	really uh you know making it difficult
16691s	for Smur for on this MAA it is not paid
16694s	off in the same way that we saw in map
16696s	number one right they are able to run
16698s	that MAA against the sigma uh pretty
16700s	much throughout the entire match with
16702s	great success this time though
16705s	consistently Smurf being that first one
16707s	dead in these
16709s	fight last phase of the map 4 minutes to
16711s	work with scenario that has played out
16714s	many times before on this map this feels
16716s	like a fight though where in is just
16718s	trying to you know build up some
16719s	ultimate here to go into you know a next
16722s	fight maybe know a win here for an
16724s	essentially getting around this corner
16726s	having them use an ultimate 4 two uh on
16729s	the other side then coming back with a
16731s	better case in the next one blade proper
16733s	going in oh okay nicely down behind the
16735s	slam of the margarine he goes
16736s	immortality fi also assisting ghost was
16738s	brought down and proper didn't have much
16741s	to do in fact yeah but that's to be
16743s	expected right I mean there was really
16745s	nothing for in to use yeah I mean that
16748s	is kind of nice there towards the end
16750s	but you know inst get that payload
16752s	towards that corner right now they come
16755s	back with an amp Matrix right they can
16756s	kind of buy themselves some more space
16758s	then maybe get Clos to towards that
16761s	BL and want to move up on this High
16765s	ground with pistoler at the four these
16766s	hyperspheres are quite a nuisance for
16768s	the defending team oh they're going to
16769s	push out themselves look at this look at
16770s	the malga straight to the low ground
16772s	they go already morality field has been
16773s	removed and Masa was first on the menu
16776s	ghost here desperately trying to get the
16777s	rest of his team up it's a beautiful
16779s	sleep and that is stalker again going to
16782s	work on the attackers that's two
16784s	consecutive fights one here for Falcons
16786s	but the card the card
16789s	gster no way not a chance what a
16794s	heist you SS you
16800s	lose
16804s	score I I mean that is
16807s	uh what a play I mean uh they Los the
16811s	against SL out of the flux and like it
16813s	doesn't even matter I mean uh Kev just
16816s	gets on the cart and just uh runs away
16819s	with it not quite as egregious as what
16821s	we witnessed out in the Japanese region
16823s	earlier this year but it's up there yeah
16826s	that was like a that was insane 's fake
16830s	this is like a wake up call with uh hot
16833s	magma you know Falcon definitely now an
16836s	alert cuz they were in a good position
16838s	that's two consecutive fight wins but
16840s	you heard the music begin right start to
16842s	realize wait a minute something is not
16845s	right egg on the face for team
16848s	Falcons still 2 minutes 24 friends to
16850s	work with that's a very healthy time
16852s	bank for a map of this
16854s	size yeah I mean uh extremely healthy
16858s	they get it basically by uh coming out
16861s	on like a little bit of a backup there
16863s	from ker so uh tjorn is uh actually me
16867s	throughout all history of has actually
16869s	had a pretty good run here on
16872s	right turret for Crossfire can kind of
16874s	play in multiple different
16876s	positions falc looks to be potentially
16879s	changing up a little bit with he here on
16881s	the
16883s	cre yeah maybe just a little bit more
16885s	flexibility and healing and
16887s	also some Mobility a the Tor showcasing
16892s	that legendary flexibility is going to
16894s	be a big problem for proper and what's
16897s	your thoughts on them going towards that
16898s	weak like I I actually think the Maro is
16900s	really not not doing much uh there you
16903s	know they were trying to kind of combo
16905s	uh the ma charge with the slam with some
16907s	of the stuff that they were doing with
16908s	the Genji but they could feel like they
16910s	can get it down I mean again that was
16912s	Azu having to be used there to keep
16913s	Smurf alive but it works that little
16914s	window of invulnerability Matt I feel
16916s	like the Falcons can really Pile in a
16918s	lot more effectively than they could
16919s	with the malga yes they have less of
16921s	those your AOE bonuses so these fights
16923s	have to be quick and that means that
16924s	immortality field has to go early but
16927s	this is good propping out giving a bit
16929s	of crow that pressure still mounts but
16931s	that T is going to be a constant
16933s	nuisance I mean this is this is going to
16935s	be harder for Falcons to like navigate
16938s	right that good M but it is also Smurf
16942s	on Winston right where if they're trying
16944s	to navigate this and and make it work on
16946s	the MAA you'd much rather see him just
16948s	trying to play the win a little bit less
16950s	optimal because he's so
16953s	good it's hard to M work but if any team
16956s	are going to do it it's got to be
16959s	Falcons now anday right well
16962s	we have to defend here against this di P
16964s	not the worst thing ever been
16965s	frustrating fora to be able to heal
16967s	adequately so I like that n look to take
16969s	space and play this
16971s	corner yeah Falcon's going to have this
16973s	kity rush though right kity Rush with
16976s	sound barrier here is that's going to be
16978s	the rush immortality field use here with
16980s	amp Matrix here from Ghost just trying
16982s	to keep everybody out of this small room
16984s	the S Bar had to be there ster trying to
16987s	wrap around it with the duplicator of
16988s	the Tracer able to take ghost down but
16990s	Smurf the tip of the sphere already
16991s	snapped into sound barrier plus a matrix
16994s	it's very hard to break the bunker that
16996s	end set up yeah but you do have a spawn
16998s	Advantage here for Falcons right so
16999s	every going to be every going to going
17001s	to be back here is H he not going to
17003s	have ghost for a very long time righton
17005s	second point is such a long walk back is
17008s	it's going to be a blade for proper he's
17010s	going to get two so this is just going
17011s	to stagger things out uh even longer
17014s	here so uh should be some nice progress
17017s	here for Falcons yeah getting high also
17018s	means that now St can set up on The High
17020s	Ground he can cross over to play The
17022s	High Ground and will require someone
17024s	from and address that means that might
17027s	have to risk splitting themselves to
17028s	some degree or hope that K can just win
17031s	the 1 V one you see what propa is doing
17032s	up here playing on two fronts now are
17035s	the Falcons one on the car one on the
17038s	bridge the kai has to duck back into the
17040s	bubble Smurf was waiting for him
17041s	absolutely flattened Primal Rage going
17043s	to work now on end and they realized a
17045s	grouping up was to their detriment now
17047s	against this Winston ultimate ghost just
17049s	couldn't get good coverage with that
17051s	immortality field at all yeah I mean
17054s	that's what they want right uh they get
17055s	into that close quarter scenario uh
17058s	damage down from the Winston also the
17060s	Genji and then stalker comes on through
17062s	with the echo finishing players off as
17065s	so look at this so in actually will kind
17067s	of make a change of their own so we see
17069s	a little bit of a MAA V MAA match up
17072s	here as uh stalker went over to the uh
17074s	the hanza quickly but now going to go
17076s	rid of the
17078s	Venture sigar instead for V
17082s	stalk now of course Venture they're very
17084s	effective at rapping through this left
17085s	side room here always a nuisance in the
17087s	back line and always very threatening to
17089s	a cop that doesn't want to be all ined
17091s	against kardiac overdrive for Falcons
17093s	but it actually provokes an to come
17095s	forward instead kinetic Gras over stall
17097s	me he's extremely tanky right now and
17099s	Falcons are happy to wait that cool down
17101s	out even if stalker wants to fame some
17104s	potential
17106s	aggression just a lot of damage being
17108s	taken by Falcons here as they trying to
17110s	push up here through this but they're
17111s	going to get both support ultimates off
17114s	of this it's going to be Rush here early
17116s	on it's going to be answered by Kai with
17117s	a dead eye so now heading on in dead ey
17119s	being used a sound bar now for an but
17121s	it's enough time for them to drag Smurf
17123s	down the heal pressure has been immense
17125s	for an and that's been really the result
17127s	of the amount of damage Kai can get done
17129s	out from behind for sto the shield and
17131s	the a matrix of ghost I mean I feel like
17134s	this is good though for in in the sense
17136s	that I feel like when they have gotten
17138s	Falcons to at least play the marker on
17140s	this map map number one obviously
17142s	Falcons end up winning with a
17143s	competition that looks very similar to
17146s	this but here at least ony they've
17148s	actually done pretty well when the mar
17150s	has been
17153s	out
17154s	proper paves the we here that D like
17157s	allows him to create a little bit of
17159s	space Falcons moving behind it P already
17162s	has agic FL he might let this one go
17164s	pretty early he can guarantee good
17166s	coverage at the moment but Falcons
17167s	eventually are going to start dispersing
17169s	they're going to look to flank s and
17170s	proper going to try and take their own
17172s	fights Bola might be looking to respond
17173s	to Smurf's aggression though with that
17175s	ultimate immediately they're looking for
17177s	the blade in the flux so with the blade
17179s	on the other side no sound barrier
17180s	you're looking to get that with the
17182s	block and it doesn't even matter at this
17184s	point right as you take out proper the
17185s	pulse bomb the block can be thrown on in
17188s	there to get rid of Smurf so feel pretty
17191s	good about another fight win here if
17192s	your an you're going to have a Time Bank
17194s	Advantage wasn't able to stick there
17196s	that was just on the wall proba gets a
17198s	little bit too close to it you got both
17201s	for ultimates available
17203s	nowo has to give a bit of ground he
17204s	knows that the kardiac overdrives in
17206s	play but he doesn't have the speed to
17207s	get away so instead stands his ground
17209s	kinetic cring gives Kai the space to get
17213s	that shot on proper that's big and
17214s	Falcons have to reset yeah but Falcons
17217s	is going to come back with all five
17219s	ultimates to use just can they get into
17222s	an advantageous position taking so much
17224s	damage coming out of the spawn you know
17226s	with the the Poke of the sigma in the C
17229s	of range they not been able to close the
17231s	gap at
17232s	all feels like Falcons are starting to
17234s	run out of ideas this Mal Venture set up
17237s	not working D doesn't even bother with
17239s	the ultimate which is now over to the
17242s	Hanzo yeah it's just a really odd uh
17245s	place for the oh that's a nice cretion
17248s	there it's a really odd spot for the
17250s	venture to try and fight right there's
17252s	not a lot of open area to kind of get a
17255s	blank Great Looks here for men over the
17257s	last couple of minutes Falcons are down
17260s	to a minute and 4 42 in the round they
17263s	have the tun Rush build up once more and
17265s	yes cage fight is there for Smurf look
17267s	how far pushed up they are uh where they
17269s	have to kind of like wrap all the way
17271s	around here for Falcons is Yer gets
17274s	quite low and with this High Ground
17276s	Control is uh looks like actually a p
17278s	grab here from uh it's very difficult to
17281s	get value out of the rush oh that's big
17283s	TI massive pickoff stalker is down now
17285s	that Hardo element for Falcons is
17286s	missing and they're on the wrong side of
17288s	the map they're trying to disengage now
17289s	maybe the could soon R can help them
17291s	this fight around but it's a little
17292s	risky cage fight here and down we die
17295s	with the blade everybody caught inside
17297s	that Thea was healthy but Master s is
17299s	not going to help them rage in the cage
17302s	for proper a brace of four and ke the
17304s	soon to follow Falcons break through and
17306s	that is a bonafied 5K for
17311s	proper get another fight here though 50
17314s	seconds a lot of time still on the clock
17316s	but in will get another opportunity out
17318s	of the
17319s	spawn H SP from keer was huge last time
17322s	but they lose both supports it might be
17324s	too late Falcon already found the
17326s	opening to jump in stalker does fall but
17328s	Falcon still have a lot to work with
17330s	plenty of gas in the tank recall there
17332s	came out of keer reinforcements a little
17334s	bit slow it's going to be a suu deployed
17335s	there by ghost to try and keep keer in
17337s	the fight that's enough time for Mar to
17338s	return what a Boop straight off the bat
17341s	he's able to find elimination on proper
17342s	Smurf now brings him down but Falcons is
17344s	starting to run out of numbers and that
17346s	could have been enough they don't touch
17349s	the card Falcon squeezing in there get
17352s	themselves up to 1 minute in time back
17354s	yeah it looks like uh V got knocked back
17356s	a little bit there just uh moving just
17359s	out of range touching the payload which
17361s	that could have been a Hal there that
17363s	kill for Mara was massive yeah I mean
17366s	they they would have had to kind of like
17367s	get another round of players off of
17369s	respawn right you had just lost your the
17372s	Mal come back in with the the cardiac
17374s	overdrive though yeah which is huge
17376s	right would keep the mar for a very long
17379s	time meani has a crazy spawn advantage
17381s	right considering uh that when you go to
17383s	Second point there is no second Point
17384s	spawn right it's all the way out where
17386s	that third point is so that's right
17390s	Falcons on offense just a minute on the
17393s	clock an extra minute added here for uh
17396s	some time added for end I mean let's not
17399s	forget without that back cap they're
17401s	also finishing the map we're far from
17403s	guaranteed they were in the middle of
17405s	their second consecutive losing fight
17408s	when kevster saw the opportunity to jump
17410s	on that c and send it home that's why 2
17413s	minutes separates these two squads in
17415s	time
17417s	bank do you think falc goes with this uh
17421s	when we've seen them play the Venture
17423s	it's always been in kind of combination
17424s	with the MAA thus far so
17427s	might hang on uh this is all out that
17431s	high ground right so oh man this is so
17433s	all in you're you're putting the train
17435s	to put a lot of pressure on that left
17436s	side higher ground there's way they're
17438s	going to play the the wind with just set
17439s	up in hindsight here but yeah walk up
17442s	the Left Right demand
17444s	attention proper first deflect creates
17447s	some space Smurf moves in behind it and
17449s	he does it awfully quickly Kai under
17451s	pressure has to back away but great from
17453s	M just brilliant from the fin don't it's
17457s	going to be even up ghost does fall but
17459s	you've lost to KIRO it's just ch to keep
17461s	Falcon standing and that is just not
17463s	enough throughput here St able to win
17465s	that fight but eventually end turn on
17466s	him 22 seconds left to play Falcons a
17469s	long way from the objective yeah Falcons
17471s	you know the call probably there is that
17473s	they've split off kaai in a really
17475s	difficult position the Mona makes a hell
17477s	of a play getting into a nice spot to be
17480s	able to keep Kai alive your ability to
17483s	sort of stall overtime here not great
17485s	you don't have tra just to sneak in
17486s	there and recall away so you've got to
17488s	commit again fortunately ENT a play on
17490s	the point two propo gets caught out a
17492s	little bit too far ahead of the rest of
17494s	Falcons ciac overdrive and there's the
17496s	shoulder charge in from Smurf but
17497s	Fielder is so low so vulnerable and
17499s	ghost is able to finish the job this one
17501s	as a matter of course now as it tie this
17504s	one up put a bow on it and set a next
17507s	day delivery 3 minutes and 6 seconds to
17510s	get one tick and a s of Rel Le from the
17512s	European
17514s	Squad this is one that they are in
17516s	complete control of right so uh just
17519s	have to get one tick 3 minutes on the
17522s	clock obviously their map selection it
17525s	is definitely paid up got feel pretty
17528s	good to have at worst a draw here
17531s	this is also a function of you know
17533s	loser picking map and map type and I
17535s	don't we get too ahead of ourselves here
17537s	but would remind you that fans have the
17539s	option to choose them their preferred
17541s	Battleground for map number four and one
17545s	with which I'm sure will be designed to
17547s	Target and punish 's composition
17550s	pool what we'll get there when we get
17552s	there yeah we get there potential uh
17555s	draw all done so see uh with ins here on
17561s	offense going to continue to play this
17563s	Sigma based competition with Falcons on
17566s	defense uh they're going to go back to
17567s	this MAA with that ponzo in place this
17570s	is what we saw from them the last time
17572s	uh in actually just pushed Smurf into a
17575s	position where Fielder really couldn't
17576s	get any like line of sight any feeling
17577s	on him uh and then they just took out
17580s	Smurf kind of rotate their way back
17581s	towards that point took it rather
17582s	quickly so we'll see if they try and
17584s	that same thing again moving up that
17586s	left side High
17587s	Ground Fielder obviously going to be
17589s	looking for those angles for biotic
17592s	grenades but getting to play the here in
17594s	a more static context on
17596s	point I don't think he'll be able to do
17597s	that
17598s	for the whole map but again against this
17601s	slower Sigma composition you don't have
17603s	to borrow too much about getting Dove
17606s	Trac will always be a threat
17608s	though behind the sigma and have a
17610s	different way of trying to create some
17611s	SPAC they don't have the genj they do
17613s	have the kinetic grasp to let them move
17615s	up this is a little bit of scouting here
17617s	by kemer getting an idea where
17619s	everybody's at as he goes around done a
17621s	little bit of a flank as Dodges the
17623s	accretion pushes on in cardiac overdrive
17626s	already and there goes the tank to Great
17628s	imortality field another absolute Banger
17630s	from Ghost Smurf there looked like he
17632s	was in a position to actually isolate
17634s	Thea but this is dangerous the B grenade
17636s	was played off so beautifully that hit
17638s	Master none of that residual healing
17640s	over time for the Lucio made him an easy
17642s	Mark and now an are in a little trouble
17645s	but a great cre connects there for Bola
17647s	almost one tick that's all that ants
17649s	need and he get so close they're going
17651s	to be reset though the Falcons can set
17653s	up once more feel like stalker hasn't
17656s	missed on the Hanzo in these flut
17657s	scenarios right whenever they lose a
17659s	player uh or two it always feels like
17661s	the next thing in the feed is a stalker
17664s	2K on the Hanzo as we will get another
17667s	go here it's already about you know uh
17670s	like half the time off the clock here
17672s	for in so uh although you did have a lot
17675s	of time to start I mean uh there's no
17678s	way you got two know two more go to it
17682s	right this is maybe another K here with
17684s	an accretion I think we some sort of St
17685s	mechanic maybe the sleep actually from
17687s	Fielder imortality fi down for Ghost and
17689s	missing a player uh they probably should
17692s	reset here comes the Dragon Ghost
17694s	doesn't have the emo he gets caught
17696s	straight into the jaws now with Kai big
17699s	remove by Fielder's bionade here ands
17701s	have to scrap it out you're right they
17703s	have one more good fight left well it
17706s	get scary right you're now kind of
17708s	snowballing everything built around
17710s	these five ultimat here for and say C
17713s	get quite low can actually make it back
17716s	for pack DOD there so you do have like
17719s	five ultimates do you decide to go all
17722s	in on one fight do you decide to maybe
17723s	split these up give yourself like two
17726s	opportunities it's a dragon blade now
17728s	for Cropper brings Master down even the
17730s	the amplification M Tri in play he won't
17733s	stop this guy another three but St in
17735s	there that the beat as well from m one
17739s	he's one and he's over the map by Chio
17742s	35 seconds left to
17744s	play all right so dead eye here if they
17747s	get aggressive right you can use that
17750s	Dead Eye maybe kind of get one is kind
17752s	of what you're looking at there Smurf
17754s	with a cage fight could see like a cage
17756s	fight combination with like a biotic
17758s	grenade right get a few players locked
17760s	in there uh this is all coming apart
17764s	here for
17765s	EDS up there go once more gravic flux
17768s	here might be part of the solution for
17769s	EDS a creation hit Smurf But Here Comes
17771s	proper dashing in would love another big
17773s	fight Victory the kill feed they're
17775s	going to catch him with the cage fight
17776s	immortality field though doesn't affect
17778s	the people caught in the cage and
17780s	that'sa going down well we spoke into an
17783s	existence folks Falcons have achieved
17785s	the draw on
17788s	body so that is crushing there for in I
17792s	mean uh obviously to get it to that
17794s	scenario they needed a pretty epic uh
17796s	backup uh but on another map selection
17800s	uh that that time where it looked like
17802s	things were giving them know a little
17804s	bit of momentum right you know getting
17806s	that back cap having 3 minutes on the
17808s	clock to a minute on the other side
17811s	don't get a win there uh so I guess you
17814s	get another map selection in the of the
17816s	draw the team who chose the map gets to
17818s	actually choose again so uh we will see
17820s	n with their third map pick in this
17823s	series which is technically impossible
17825s	unless you have a draw so uh they've got
17828s	to be feeling good about that one but
17829s	what is in the tank
17831s	do you feel good about it because like
17833s	how many more maps do you have you don't
17835s	you don't but you know yeah you still
17836s	have the option to find a Lifeline but
17839s	the two maps you would have selected you
17841s	figure would have been your two
17843s	strongest options right I don't think
17845s	anybody unless you're going into like
17847s	the best of seven is thinking okay what
17849s	is our third yes like kind of goto so uh
17853s	this will be quite interesting let's
17855s	have a look back over the map that was
17856s	here numani featured a pretty ridiculous
17859s	or agre just depending on your
17860s	standpoint back cap there from keer prop
17864s	is Play Sharp is always mat but
17867s	eventually Falcons were able to D them
17869s	down on that point a in overtime pretty
17873s	ridiculous way for the game to end and
17874s	the time bank for fence was three
17876s	minutes for that last attack yeah and uh
17879s	ends on defense right they pushed up
17882s	they were holding that high ground for a
17883s	very long time towards the end of the M
17886s	as see some more clips from proper
17888s	ending up getting some SI
17891s	there on the Genji it's wild like you
17895s	mentioned that you look at this lineup
17896s	they finish
17897s	second kzo kind of joking that theyve
17900s	almost didn't make it like it's kind of
17902s	wild to you imagine a world in which
17905s	that happened right anything that just
17906s	speaks positively positively I think of
17909s	of the region APAC is pretty sick uh you
17912s	know you are seeing so many stars and
17914s	even New Rising Stars competing that
17916s	region quite frankly we could definitely
17918s	say the same of course uh for EMA
17921s	with of course showing us what ghost can
17922s	do and I think he's been more than just
17924s	serviceable in that Baptist role here a
17927s	lot of pressure being put on him again
17928s	to to to sort of Step Up for this team
17930s	they're not the top seat from their
17931s	region they're going up against a a very
17934s	strong apack team they got themselves a
17935s	draw they still looking for that elusive
17937s	first map win in this series they will
17940s	get to pick again at the very least yeah
17942s	so I mean uh what some of the maps we
17944s	thought they would pick would be like a
17946s	uh know Midtown uh would you think about
17949s	playing like champ that would be a
17951s	little bit interesting right some Sigma
17953s	options
17955s	some genuinely the one thing that like
17957s	uh Falcons has made really nice use of
17960s	Hanzo throughout this series right a map
17963s	like a shambali you know gives a really
17965s	nice sight line how do feel Hano after
17967s	the The Wider changes to the game I I
17971s	mean I think he plays like a different
17972s	he doesn't have that he doesn't have
17974s	cool potential anymore really right but
17976s	just the the amount of damage that he
17978s	puts out is still quite burst like it's
17981s	not at the level of burst it was right
17983s	you know before turn a corner and he
17985s	would just you know yeah he would storm
17987s	arrow and just kill an entire team now
17989s	it is a little bit more I I know spread
17991s	out but still large amounts of damage
17993s	dealt at one time where uh definitely
17996s	puts a lot of pressure and you know
17998s	resource pressure on the opposing
18001s	team yeah we often we use that term a
18004s	little nebulously I think but heal
18006s	pressure is so important especially when
18007s	you got teams that are playing Lucio CUO
18009s	compositions right it's got like
18011s	acceptable throughput KIRO really needs
18013s	to spend time though getting people
18014s	topped up whereas like a Baptist comp
18016s	gives you a bit of a reset button with
18017s	the regenerative burst and immortality
18019s	field to buy you a little bit of time to
18021s	get people up to health you know we we
18023s	know like Anna's through port in general
18024s	has been you know brought back in line I
18026s	think with the rest of the roster of
18028s	support So heill pressure really matters
18030s	you know putting your opponent supports
18031s	in a position where they must Focus
18033s	purely on the defensive side of the game
18035s	can give you a huge Edge I I think it's
18037s	also uh when they have Sigma on the
18039s	other side right uh forcing kinetic
18041s	grass you know the shield putting that
18043s	on cool down right that gets Regin burst
18045s	out faster it gets immortality field out
18048s	faster right it puts a lot of just
18050s	overall pressure on the opposing team
18053s	where uh when when you don't have that
18054s	Haun in the mix you can just kind of
18056s	like trade damage openly uh you know in
18059s	the front line it's a little bit easier
18061s	so we're waiting for our uh fourth map
18062s	in the series to be selected here by and
18064s	we have a moment to head over to the
18065s	desk and have them check in how the
18067s	series has been so far so I should
18069s	assume
18071s	thank you so much friends yeah uh Jake
18073s	let's walk through what we saw so far I
18075s	mean up until no Bonnie it didn't really
18077s	look like ends were able to push Falcons
18080s	out of their comfort zone or anywhere to
18082s	any limit possible generally you know
18085s	word on a street has been like Falcons
18087s	have some weaknesses here and there have
18088s	you seen any of that in their
18090s	compositions or in the way they approach
18091s	a game I mean they found purchase on
18093s	Theon right securing a draw is big I I
18095s	am a little worried for them in the way
18096s	that they won with this like big C9 from
18098s	kepster that's great but that's not
18100s	really the way you want to win as a team
18102s	in this position and even that win is
18103s	only only winning you a fight leading to
18105s	a draw on the map so yeah it's not it's
18108s	not looking good for an frankly uh and
18110s	they're they have some tough map picks
18111s	ahead even if they can win a map here
18112s	they still have a long road ahead to
18114s	actually win the series but I think the
18115s	biggest thing is Falin have shown us
18116s	something very new which is this double
18118s	fle Flex DPS Style run with the malga uh
18121s	really relying on the cardiac overdrive
18123s	malga charging into your backline
18125s	pressuring your supports and your DPS at
18127s	the same time Genji's coming in with a
18128s	cardiac overdrive maybe it's a venture
18130s	maybe it's an echo diving in sometimes a
18132s	Hanzo sniping from afar but I think that
18134s	composition is something really new for
18135s	people at home but I think has a lot of
18137s	potential especially with Venture coming
18139s	into the professional hero pool it's
18141s	very very unique hero and how
18142s	consistently it can get on top of the
18144s	backline get in with malga and actually
18146s	use that life steal burst unlike Tracer
18148s	you're not you're not so in and out so
18149s	flighty you can kind of stand with the
18151s	MAA and really really use the skills oh
18153s	walk me through here uh with through
18155s	this here on Nani though because quite
18157s	frankly I mean we saw the the sigma
18158s	composition on the other side right so
18160s	like playing that Winston's like that
18162s	the natural counter uh let's say why did
18165s	they switch to marot on point three do
18166s	you think that kind of broke their neck
18168s	there could I have just ended it
18170s	otherwise I mean I I wonder I think
18172s	maybe they felt okay point three there's
18174s	not very much verticality I I it's
18176s	understandable not to really preference
18178s	the Winston there but typically I think
18179s	the Winston's so strong against Sigma
18180s	right not in a one-on-one head-to-head
18183s	fight but Winston so effective at
18184s	dropping that bubble cutting off the
18186s	heal resources coming to Sigma and then
18188s	you know Sigma could be caught all alone
18189s	but Smurf you know the magga just with
18191s	that lack of verticality he could cross
18192s	the distance I don't think they were
18193s	ready with that aggressive forward hold
18195s	that an brought I think that was
18196s	actually crucial to having a decent
18198s	defense there on third Point running the
18200s	clock down was that they were able to
18202s	hold almost into Falcon spawn making
18204s	them fight in this super open exposed
18206s	High Ground area where that's like a
18208s	worst case scenario for malga he doesn't
18210s	want to be Crossing large Open Spaces he
18212s	wants to be swinging a corner jumping on
18214s	your backline you don't really have any
18215s	time to react or play around it so I
18217s	think it was really intelligent from an
18218s	that choice to aggressively forward hold
18220s	on the body not something I've seen in a
18221s	long time but these are veteran players
18223s	and they're bringing back an old
18224s	strategy that is still super effective
18226s	in the right hands Falcons though I
18228s	think I don't think they're really
18229s	worried right the fact that they're able
18230s	to lock it in and secure a draw they
18232s	have confidence that this magom can beat
18234s	Sigma and honestly I would have thought
18236s	okay sigma's a pretty good answer to
18238s	malga you know you don't really life
18239s	steal anything at all when you're
18240s	shooting Sigma Shield when you're uh you
18242s	know shooting into the kinetic grasp
18244s	your life steal abilities AR aren't
18245s	effective against those skills uh but
18247s	nonetheless they just ignore that Sigma
18249s	go past him get to the the backline and
18251s	it's hard to argue with something that
18252s	puts proper on Genji I mean that guy is
18254s	so insanely good at the Genji really
18256s	shows his incredible potential it's
18257s	probably they're probably one of the
18258s	best teams in the world for double Flex
18260s	DPS and I think maybe they feel that
18262s	their Edge against crazy raccoons with
18264s	someone like lip on his scan is to not
18266s	play hitam and and to just put so much
18268s	pressure on him force him off his
18270s	comfort zone it was funny as we were
18271s	watching that game right we see that
18273s	prep on the Genji like technically
18274s	Tracer will be a better fit here in that
18276s	composition but then also it's proper if
18278s	he can shoehorn to Genji in he will and
18280s	he will make it work regardless so uh
18283s	looking at the uh next map here what do
18286s	you want to see from ANS I mean at this
18289s	point right you've exhausted honestly
18291s	your valuable map picks now we're going
18293s	to either flash point or push and to be
18295s	honest I'm not sure if there's anything
18297s	that's really going to generate much
18298s	Advantage let's see what they they went
18300s	with okay it is going to be suros so
18303s	going to flash point I mean at this
18305s	point right you're going to have to play
18306s	flasho and push you you've gotten the
18309s	the widest range map picks already out
18311s	of the way with escort and hybrid uh
18313s	surasa I'm honestly really worried for
18316s	an there's a reason they didn't go to
18317s	flash point earlier in the series
18318s	because this is where something like
18321s	that super aggressive Genji comp could
18323s	be incredibly effective it's very hard
18324s	to hold Genji off and keep him at long
18326s	range on any flasho pick yeah I don't
18328s	think Falcons are going to be too
18329s	unhappy about that map pick Let's see if
18332s	ANS can get that elusive Victory on the
18335s	board or Falcons is going to take this
18336s	one home for all the action we sending
18339s	it over back to Mr X and U okay surasa
18344s	the map Choice here and I I think I
18346s	shared the skepticism of our desk about
18348s	how these suits ends yeah I mean what
18350s	Jake was talking about and I completely
18352s	agree it's like what we were like
18354s	discussing a little bit before like you
18356s	kind of already exhausted like all your
18358s	best options or you would so to think
18360s	options uh right in terms of map
18362s	selection so uh now going into zasa this
18367s	is where you can see a comp with like a
18369s	Genji start to really get rolling in
18371s	snowball game yeah we've seen it be
18373s	pretty critical often played I think in
18375s	the Shell of like those orisa based
18377s	comps right like very effective Rush
18379s	style uh you know sojourn was often
18382s	mixed in with that I'm curious to see if
18383s	we see something that resembles that
18385s	kind of composition a little bit more
18386s	closely here obviously Mobility is a
18388s	kick factor it's very important but so
18390s	much hinged on how long is it going to
18392s	take for your sojurn to find a pick can
18394s	you get your gy safely into a spot to
18396s	capitalize of so many of those resets
18398s	and how much heal pressure when you put
18401s	on your opponents again another sort of
18402s	subject we surfaced sort of coming out
18404s	of that last break which is going to be
18405s	important if your opponent's playing
18406s	that Lucio KIRO the highly mobile but
18408s	lower three setup yeah it doesn't seem
18410s	like uh at least uh not seen on stage uh
18414s	any type of substitution potentially
18416s	here for Falcon so they'll they'll keep
18418s	running on uh you know with Smurf uh in
18421s	fielder in the game uh so wild that you
18425s	have a team that you would even think
18426s	about taking out a Smurf or a a Fielder
18429s	but uh the lineup is so good uh you know
18432s	the overall roster that you can do uh
18435s	things in that regard
18437s	so I I like the Hanzo pick here the
18440s	Hanzo has definitely worked out with
18441s	that
18443s	Genji in we go and is last chance to
18447s	stay alive in this series and it's map
18448s	that might be somewhat uncomfortable for
18450s	them here they want to bring that Sigma
18452s	composition in Fair Play means they get
18453s	to leverage that batist Falcons with the
18456s	malga Anor when I look at this setup I
18459s	know for both of these teams I think the
18461s	real deciding factor for in uh in the
18464s	thing that can help kind of turn the
18465s	tide for them is Ker's Tracer when they
18467s	were winning fights in this type of
18468s	head-to-head match up was really his
18470s	Tracer that was giving Falcons problems
18472s	when they don't have to uh really worry
18475s	or respect that Tracer in the backline
18476s	that allows Falcons to just take control
18478s	of the game cop here won't be allowed to
18481s	just haveit his high ground for free but
18483s	he's happy to fight so dangerous deflect
18485s	there can to get him out of Dodge no a
18487s	little overextended there eventually
18489s	heads turn this direction but stalker
18491s	with storm arrow is able to find a head
18493s	shot on a tracer of all things it's a
18495s	one for one trade in the pressure Falcon
18497s	apply gives them the point to start
18499s	they've lost Smurf though yeah and I
18501s	don't know if you're going to be able to
18502s	kind of like hold serve on the point
18504s	right without your m in the mix they
18506s	still have the stoa coming out know with
18508s	that Sigma so you will get the point
18511s	flipped rather quickly uh Falcon
18514s	probably uh it's a little bit of a shame
18516s	you're not able to hold that there right
18517s	because stalker on that High Ground
18519s	setup with point control the Hano could
18521s	have been really difficult to break that
18523s	pressure on SP the doomfist tough ask
18525s	but is a to bring it in and trade out
18528s	with the sigma field as well brings down
18530s	ghost as soon as that immortality field
18532s	is missing Falcon should be able to move
18534s	back in reestablish some presence but
18536s	keer might have other plans K got
18538s	pressure pretty heavily he's able to
18539s	heal up though fi the feeling the bird
18541s	now from keer Chio though is indominable
18544s	what a sentinel ker and Mara brought
18547s	down one after another yeah even though
18548s	you did lose Smurf rather quickly there
18551s	it was still a one for two tra right you
18553s	still get two kills off of the back of
18555s	the aggression off the do so still have
18558s	Smurf playing that Doom yet again he for
18561s	like a brief second maybe in spawn I
18563s	know the previous map and then a swap as
18565s	both teams just kind of swapping back
18567s	and forth throughout all the tanks but
18568s	now at least we see it out the spawn
18570s	door here on Ser us man boost here F fi
18574s	itus Dragon strike may be relevant if
18577s	end get baited out onto the point and
18579s	can't really break awayan the genj hereo
18582s	the go he could he could build blade off
18583s	the Nano I think transition into it and
18585s	Matrix comes even Smurf is only subject
18587s	to one shot before he plow straight
18588s	through it he's low though manab keeps
18590s	him durable enough but he didn't find
18592s	anything on that foray into the enemy
18594s	backline so Falcons will get close
18596s	within the Striking Distance of that
18597s	first flash point and an wrench it back
18599s	under their control it's a team kill
18602s	there for an off the back of Moss's
18605s	sound barrier sound barrier and ant
18607s	Matrix there Swit you're going to have
18610s	uh you're going to have the blade here
18612s	available here for Falcons so blade
18616s	potentially in place to close this point
18619s	out right a point fli would result in
18621s	Falcons taking this first flash point
18624s	Falcons have to be quick about this but
18625s	they have the sound barrier Advantage
18627s	keep an eye on that Dragon strike for
18629s	should be to side step this but will be
18631s	HED into a corner and that's re Ed into
18632s	a sigma surround him bring him down with
18635s	she weighted numbers we'll have a flip
18637s	of the flash point back in the Falcon
18638s	favor now to the back find sand blade
18640s	proper still sharp as you like the
18642s	shuriken going to work ghost will be
18644s	removed and Kai has no support no space
18646s	to work in still hits the shots though
18649s	Kovac Kai re his head once more but it's
18651s	going to take more than that c to Boo as
18653s	soon as he touches down and Kai is too
18655s	low to intervene that'll be your first
18657s	flash point and aous kill there for Kai
18660s	yeah I guess the benefit for in there
18662s	right obviously you end up losing that
18663s	flash point uh they do us just about
18666s	everything there does Falcons to be able
18668s	to putp the point back their favor it
18670s	allows in to come back into this next
18672s	fight uh you're you're halfway towards
18674s	that an Matrix but you got pulse SP Dead
18676s	Eye and a gravitic blocks where you
18678s	didn't kind of like waste those kind of
18680s	throw that good money after bad there
18681s	towards the end of that
18685s	point in 10 seconda wants to move up
18687s	here a little chunk down so it's going
18689s	to take a moment ke wants that off angle
18692s	early but probably takes a Hano shot
18693s	from somewhere de I forai that's a
18695s	decent way to make some space you combin
18697s	it with a flux that's a lot of ultimates
18699s	just a move up here let's hope it
18700s	doesn't bite them in the rear Smurf
18702s	touches down in enemy territory and
18704s	quickly is dispatched yeah yeah meteor
18706s	strike and then try to like land on top
18708s	there and then kind of slide down give
18709s	himself a little bit of extra cover but
18711s	no position that he's able to keep
18713s	himself up in as uh things will still
18716s	change here as uh Falcons be smurfed now
18719s	on the Winston so okay just kind of run
18723s	the gam of tank you got to pressure the
18724s	Cassidy ignore the sigma that's the plan
18727s	saw low getting a lot of attention now
18729s	that he's low smoo Took a ton of damage
18730s	up there that's the a matrix making it
18732s	hard for Winston to do his thing pul
18734s	bomb doesn't quite connect though
18735s	probably got a chance to be a part of
18737s	this fight but that air Matrix is a
18739s	problem look at the Baptist involvement
18740s	in those kills couldn't find a way
18743s	around it no I they just going to dive
18746s	on into it facee first
18749s	so there as they try all
18754s	files yeah uh Smurf so much damage on
18757s	the way in they used to cons Rush still
18759s	on not able to keep anybody up this Masa
18762s	this time keeping that sound barrier for
18764s	that blade where some timates at the
18766s	beginning of this point LED them to have
18769s	a chance to take it here Here Comes
18772s	proper pushing up play the ready you
18774s	know's ready to make use of it bre St
18775s	there though still have to get involved
18776s	in the fight he going to be behind the
18778s	Cassidy Mar now he's going to wait it
18780s	out pressuring tie down half HP for the
18783s	Cassidy and here comes the rest the
18785s	backup is good shoulder charged from
18786s	Smurf to clean up the killer now the
18788s	fielders out of the pitcher get to get
18790s	Evol but that's not what you want to see
18792s	proper over the edge it's Smurf now to
18793s	try and hold on but stalker coming in
18795s	from the backline oh it's a mutual
18798s	knockdown with the pulse bom but I don't
18800s	know if stalk has much to do here the
18802s	stall is too
18804s	tanky yeah but so going to end up
18807s	building some of the shields right get a
18808s	little bit more Health gets the Lucio
18810s	back in the MX so they're going to be
18812s	okay here for just that brief moment of
18814s	time well B can't exactly push up into
18817s	this just yet and the Lucio free spawn
18818s	is so big
18820s	stalker gets the set up now again this
18822s	invulnerability window is huge for
18825s	stall stalker emerges off Angle dead ey
18828s	here as Kai steps up inexorable it feels
18831s	but he's going to get slammed in comes
18833s	the mar with the stop the proper gets
18835s	caught out by Masa on the periphery
18836s	finding a key kill on the Genji it's
18839s	back and forth but Fielder is missing
18840s	now it's up to Chia to do most of the
18841s	healing it looks like ANS have this
18843s	point locked up and so it comes to pass
18847s	yeah they walk on in Fielder with
18848s	Incredible low couldn't exactly play
18851s	aggressively on the point with the Kiku
18853s	and that allows him to just kind of burn
18855s	down
18856s	Smurf that'll be in tying it up here on
18860s	surasa oh you want to hear this one a
18862s	piece now stalker with that ultimate
18864s	generator we could soon they rush just
18866s	around the corner for Fielder they can
18868s	also take an advantageous position here
18871s	playing through the chokes in comes the
18872s	malga propak are licking damage wise and
18875s	here comes that Rush devoid straight
18876s	away stalker going to be popping all of
18879s	it as well but needs to work around that
18880s	Shield this is one way to do it Dr Dash
18883s	actually used here early to No
18885s	Escape stalk is still going to be in the
18887s	mix nicely done and N get CAU in that
18891s	sh the dive really strong there F
18894s	getting proper and Stalker into the
18897s	backline Falcons will take this point
18899s	first off the back of the ksun rush
18901s	really nice actually going to call out
18903s	out of of the way there as uh I saw the
18906s	moir switch for a second yeah no not
18908s	going to see G move off of that that
18910s	he's going to stay on that the
18913s	vo a little bit further up we go Smurf
18916s	Clos to Gap shoulder charge gets him
18917s	there but he backs away sees the flux
18919s	though St is able to avoid it by being
18921s	Sub terraining in at that jure cat SM he
18924s	gets away though now got unperturbed by
18926s	the flux kept her a little low here but
18929s	stalker gets caught that a perfect St
18931s	from AA Smurf has to try and get
18933s	involved now cage fight thrown down
18935s	three players caught inside of it this
18936s	could be absolutely nasty will it blend
18940s	no not for now anyway oh K gets C by
18943s	another pulse bom and here comes
18946s	proper food processor finally does its
18949s	job and and it feels like that was like
18951s	an opportunity for Reign to flip this
18953s	one in the sense that you already had
18955s	stalker down the the cage fight comes
18958s	down and it's sound barri there for FAL
18960s	like kind of living on through it there
18961s	for and you don't even get a use your
18964s	barrier to kind of combat that blade on
18965s	the other side now it'll be difficult
18968s	it'll be kept St gets on get the touch
18970s	recall for Kev he's able to keep the
18972s	round alive at the very least enough
18973s	time for Boler and Co to come in accre
18976s	no connection there maybe on proper in
18978s	fact but he isn't followed up on K
18980s	forced away not a great a going to make
18981s	use of the Dead I here behind the pillar
18983s	will the Falcon hide deflect expires
18985s	though and proper gets caught out in the
18986s	open Fielder a little bit too low there
18989s	despite the rush being deployed Falcons
18991s	throw a couple of ultimates in there and
18993s	don't have the ability to close the
18994s	round and stay alive on this flash point
18999s	and they hold on to their ant Matrix
19001s	here so uh pretty strong for being able
19004s	to kind of really just kind of play
19005s	around Kai the Dead Eye there ends up
19007s	taking out proper I think he just going
19010s	to M times it in terms of think he it's
19012s	going to wear out has the deflect not
19013s	able to get ground line ofate on the
19015s	pillar they playing around at the
19018s	moment Now Falcons comes back going to
19020s	be walking right into this amp Matrix
19022s	and
19026s	that now like to mention tacos have you
19028s	been for fight but you don't really have
19030s	to buffer for too many of those flash
19032s	point they go so fast there really not
19034s	you know a ton of junk throw away ster
19038s	has to navigate the the sigma Shield to
19040s	find value with that ultimate they
19042s	wrapping around again Falcon trying to
19043s	out maneuver here's the sound barrier
19045s	imortality field used awful early in
19046s	this fight and stalk creates a little
19048s	bit of space that ultimate knocks an
19050s	away forces them back now it's going to
19052s	be for St surr but no one's really
19053s	looking to do damage to him until now
19055s	and that's the Finish slurve gets the
19057s	job done this will be another Flash
19059s	point for Falcons looking to take the
19062s	series away here yeah and stalker
19064s	actually trying to kill Thea there but
19066s	kind of the the blow through damage
19068s	actually takes out deer as he's coming
19070s	around the backside there by the
19071s	staircase uh and they use that sound and
19073s	they get so aggressive behind the
19074s	Venture uh that they get nothing with
19076s	that ant Matrix they get push up so far
19079s	away and not able to make any use of it
19081s	it's a two to one score here on suras as
19083s	we head over to our fourth flash point
19086s	gravic flux in Hand of aala very
19088s	critical
19089s	against his Falcon Squad this fight on
19092s	this point could really decide this uh
19095s	oh it's a cage really early Kai they got
19098s	Kai immortality field has to be used but
19099s	how does Kai stay alive it's a sound
19101s	barrier from Master instantly prop is in
19103s	the flux gets dropped down low but who's
19104s	looking at him turns out M sta has eyes
19107s	for the Genji proper stays alive but the
19109s	KIRO healing is not there at
19111s	all he is so low he got toed up just to
19114s	100 here and eventually he drags the
19116s	sigma down there was no support for the
19118s	ster the fight still happening on The
19119s	High Ground the St the thought he could
19121s	drop down find the Genji pick it doesn't
19123s	work out that way at all that's
19124s	devastating for
19126s	it it is so difficult to like like the
19130s	the Tracer the The Venture with the
19133s	Genji in Theo they're so slippery in
19137s	terms of being able to try to track them
19138s	down right oh right there I mean that is
19141s	a huge pick CU kind of takes out Chio CH
19143s	just playing a little bit close to that
19145s	corner double ding there from K ends up
19148s	taking him out as maybe he can make
19149s	something out of this would be huge yeah
19151s	falc looking to play off the point for
19152s	the most part they commun Rush here will
19154s	this make up for the lack of Lucio it
19156s	might just proper now pressuring TI down
19158s	from behind the shurikens come in no
19160s	chance for the CID to make use of Dead
19162s	Eye whatsoever and then lost the Genji
19165s	Falcon got CH picked off at the start of
19166s	the fight and they show barely a
19168s	breaking stride yeah when when the rush
19171s	comes down right use the Dead Eye to
19173s	change herur the players from kind of
19175s	moving on through that Rush kind of
19177s	force them into different are is on the
19179s	map and Falcons does not
19183s	care they push right up it does not
19186s	matter to them is they take Allen time
19188s	really fast this will be a blade from
19190s	proper little back half here from it
19193s	doesn't matter what ke is doing he's
19194s	trying to back cap here and that's all
19196s	Welling good but eventually B will
19198s	return yeah so cheeky though he might
19201s	have kept en in the
19203s	game it's a long walk back for ow I want
19206s	to make that clear they OD of getting a
19208s	proper five on five fight aren't great
19211s	it's going to have to be the stalling
19212s	now out in the dying moments they got
19215s	him they picked him off out to 54 that's
19216s	what I you can't get a full fight and no
19219s	Touch look it was a big ass
19222s	anyway but
19225s	Falcons eventually come up with the
19227s	answer to be fair it was to a question
19230s	they didn't pose three Maps
19232s	consecutively chosen by andon eventually
19234s	Falcons figure it
19236s	out no doubt the better team here
19240s	great adaptability a deep bench has
19242s	allowed them here to dominate EMA's
19245s	number two seed and uh look you get a
19248s	draw on one of these Maps realistically
19251s	it's probably should been a 3 I mean it
19252s	was a 3 right in in in the sense but I
19255s	like it it should have been over on
19256s	nubani it's a really nice back cap there
19259s	from keer that allows him to even have
19261s	the position to draw that map uh where
19264s	it really felt like Falcons was in
19266s	complete control throughout the series
19268s	it never really felt like it was
19270s	down and our apack teams have landed and
19273s	the Grim reality of exactly what kind of
19275s	Fury they're bringing with them now
19276s	starts to set
19278s	in the more things change the more they
19281s	stay the
19282s	same these guys are still incredible at
19285s	the game and they still a dominant
19288s	region yeah it kind of send now
19290s	obviously ends now to the loser bracket
19292s	potentially uh to the drawing board a
19294s	little bit right uh I think if you're
19297s	know another team that goes down I
19299s	believe uh actually SSG beats uh NRG uh
19303s	in that Series so uh just thinking about
19305s	the bracket I believe that is a match up
19306s	that we would see like ins versus NRG
19309s	you have an opportunity to kind of look
19310s	through some of these uh you know
19311s	matches real quick you know in the back
19313s	and a little bit of a break and maybe
19315s	that's some stuff that you can replicate
19317s	maybe how long do you have really you've
19319s	got to play your own strengths at some
19320s	point here right especially with how the
19322s	map kick
19323s	works yeah I mean you do right but uh no
19326s	you thought you had strength going up
19328s	against Falcons I think obviously you
19329s	know uh NRG and Falcons there's a
19331s	there's a gap there right uh but you've
19335s	uh you can be beat maybe it's like
19338s	looking at something maybe there's a
19339s	different order of maps you would like
19340s	to go to potentially well we've been up
19342s	here for quite a while quite the match
19344s	it was we're going to head down to the
19345s	stage now and Danny is taking a chance
19347s	to take stalker
19348s	aside all right thank you so much Mitch
19351s	yes I am here for the postmatch
19352s	interview we got stalker from team
19354s	Falcons for a quick
19355s	chat great stuff great stuff uh the most
19359s	I think important thing that I want to
19360s	ask you is we saw something very
19361s	exciting we saw Venture being played for
19363s	the first time in Dallas and you were
19366s	amazing I just want to ask how's Venture
19368s	for you and did you have any trouble
19370s	sort of picking that uh hero up
19378s	[Music]
19400s	definitely because it was a new hero of
19402s	course there were a little bit of
19403s	difficulties but because I was able to
19405s	play more comps and uh do a lot more
19407s	practice I think I learned my own tips
19409s	and tricks on how to play Venture let me
19411s	follow up on that you said you you
19413s	learned your own tips give us one tip uh
19415s	I'm pretty sure a lot of uh people here
19417s	a lot of fans want to sort of you know
19418s	learn more more about Venture anyway so
19425s	tips easy
19431s	tip yeah uh you it's really good to use
19434s	the right click when you're in the shift
19436s	form so that's that's a tip from uh from
19439s	stalker all right uh one more one final
19442s	question you're the next match moving
19443s	forward is going to be against space
19445s	station gaming so it's going to be space
19447s	station gaming versus uh team Falcons
19449s	what are your thoughts on Space Station
19452s	gaming
19462s	gam uh I feel like it's going to be just
19465s	like today pretty uh an easy win for us
19467s	and I'm not really worried about space
19469s	station gaming all right that is it uh
19471s	thank you stalker so much everybody give
19472s	a round of applause let's send things
19475s	back to soe and the desk thank you so
19477s	much Johny what a convincing Victory we
19480s	just got to witness from Falcons and
19483s	they were the favorite coming into this
19484s	and they showed us why we just
19487s	previously two sort of us talked a
19489s	little bit about what we did get to see
19491s	from them it is a new look as you
19492s	mentioned Jake uh we've seen that double
19495s	Flex DPS it's a good look for them and
19497s	something they relied on once more on
19499s	surasa as soon as they ditch the Winston
19501s	went back onto that composition
19503s	everything went their way Johnny yeah
19505s	and I mean when we talk about
19506s	versatility how often do we see a team
19509s	brck such solid double Flex damage
19511s	players right not a lot of teams can
19513s	pull off these kinds of compositions
19515s	right but Falcons they came in with a
19517s	perfect game plan here to really deal
19518s	with what NS had coming out here playing
19521s	with the sigma of course and this was
19522s	the story of the entire series NC Sports
19524s	we talked about them going into this
19525s	series they love these Sigma
19527s	compositions this is what they do best
19528s	right and I actually think we saw the
19530s	stola with some like will need Sigma
19532s	play at times but it just doesn't hold
19533s	up to tal can Co out Ser real like this
19536s	is a map you need to win if or NC Sports
19539s	and similarly like Nani that is another
19542s	map you pretty much need to win to then
19544s	have a chance it come to push and a
19545s	flash point later on in this series but
19548s	Falcons I mean they go three on this map
19550s	after drawing the bunny as well one of
19552s	the most egregious t9s I've ever seen
19554s	but again like this just opened up a
19556s	possibility of an win that they could
19558s	have even capitalize on Jake yeah I mean
19561s	this was a little bit of adding insult
19562s	to injury there that they're able to
19564s	bring it back for a draw and then secure
19566s	the series I think Venture as a hero has
19568s	really open enough an incredible world
19569s	of possibility for team Falcons because
19572s	historically I feel lip in Crazy
19574s	raccoons that's been the duel over in
19575s	Korea crazy raccoons versus Falcons I
19577s	feel lip's been getting the better of
19578s	the hit scan duel and it's been pretty
19580s	decisively in his favor and I think this
19582s	comp is really Falcon answer Falcon's
19584s	idea if you can win with double Flex DPS
19587s	I think Falcons are the best team in the
19589s	world right now I think they can take it
19590s	to Crazy raccoons if they can force a
19592s	player like lip off of the hit scan
19594s	whether that's possible it remains to be
19596s	seen but this makes me really excited to
19598s	see that match up I think we're going to
19599s	see a new Dynamic that we have not seen
19602s	between those two teams who I think is
19603s	fair to say are the best in the world so
19604s	you actually think that crazy raccoons
19606s	will be caught off GARP at it is that
19607s	something they held back do you think
19608s	they maybe busted it out in streams or
19610s	is this actually just is it just new for
19612s	us or will it be new for crazy it's not
19614s	a matter of catching them off guard it's
19615s	not a matter of you know sneaking the
19617s	Strat through and oh you didn't you
19618s	weren't ready for it oh no you you
19619s	couldn't react in the moment it's a
19621s	matter of you think this is the best
19622s	comp that like you can know about the
19623s	strategy but it's the best and we win no
19625s	matter what you play like you don't have
19627s	an answer because this is the final
19628s	answer and often times with you know new
19631s	meta changes into the tournament
19632s	something like this magga coming out I
19634s	think we could see other teams with
19635s	different takes on a similar style I've
19637s	seen in scrims seen the far being played
19639s	in the role of the Genji actually after
19641s	the far rework can be kind of similar
19642s	Heroes right like a very decisive
19644s	connection on the enemy backline deliver
19646s	a ton of burst a little bit more
19647s	explosive than Genji maybe a little bit
19649s	more poke but maybe a little bit less
19651s	consistent maybe more vulnerable to the
19652s	hit scan and so I think there's
19653s	definitely going to be more variations
19655s	on the style that we're going to see as
19656s	the tournament progresses and to be
19658s	honest I don't think anybody has the
19660s	final certain answer it's going to be
19662s	who has the best read who has the most
19663s	confidence and and honestly the Comfort
19665s	on the right hero that is going to be
19666s	earning these wins and staying in the
19668s	upper bracket and potentially winning
19669s	the whole thing indeed well it remains
19672s	exciting that was a great first look at
19674s	both of those teams and now of course
19676s	before we moving on we do have some
19678s	honors to give out and that is the
19680s	Porsche performance of the match and it
19683s	has to go to one half of this double DPS
19686s	uh Flex DPS Duo that is of course proper
19691s	he''s done it again he's just raking up
19693s	those accolades I'm seeing performance
19694s	by proper I mean unlucky with this Genji
19696s	of course and soccer was well being able
19698s	to play so many different Heroes but
19699s	proper was so consistent um you saw
19701s	throughout the series and this is one of
19703s	the best players in the world right and
19704s	now paired alongside stalker you can
19706s	really have proper play all kinds of
19708s	different Heros you're saying aot
19709s	playing a lot of hit scan right and that
19711s	is a Big Boon for this team whether you
19713s	go to Circuit real or many other Maps
19714s	but stalk you're playing alongside him
19716s	as well you open up that flexibility uh
19717s	great performance proper I mean proper
19719s	performance on the Genji was absolutely
19722s	monstrous he's so insanely good on that
19725s	hero that Dr
19727s	blade we know him for his Tracer we know
19729s	him for his sojourn that's why he's
19730s	played at Big moments in the past in his
19732s	career but man Genji I think is maybe
19735s	the most terrifying hero in his kit if
19737s	he gets that first kill and so often he
19739s	does with just with nothing with no
19741s	resource with no setup he just finds
19743s	these ridiculous openers dashing in from
19745s	maximum range just executing one of your
19747s	supports for your damage players there's
19749s	nothing you can really do against that
19751s	like there's no playing around that you
19753s	just have to hope that the enemy gen you
19755s	can't actually do that every time but it
19757s	starts happening over and over again and
19758s	you start to get seriously worried so
19761s	anyone going up against team Falcons has
19762s	to find an answer to the proper gy and
19765s	for me with what we just saw we might be
19767s	seeing this all tournament long I'm not
19769s	I'm not sure that there is an answer per
19771s	se I I think you might just be you know
19773s	struggling against the proper Genji all
19775s	tournament you know what if we get to
19776s	see more proper on Genji I am mad about
19778s	that why not but yeah proper earning
19780s	himself the performance of the match by
19783s	Porsche and now we are taking a look at
19785s	our bracket to see where we currently
19786s	stand as we're moving on into tournament
19788s	we do have a lot of matches to get
19790s	through today six in fact we have uh
19793s	everything on your screens right there
19795s	that already happened of course there
19797s	was a a match happening on the on the B
19799s	stream on our second stream covered by
19801s	nekra and Jack and we will be filling
19803s	you in on everything that went down
19805s	there as well so far though if we're
19806s	looking at those scores no huge
19809s	surprises there just yet I think most
19811s	people would have expected to see energy
19813s	shock and ends here in the lower bracket
19816s	yeah I think you know SSG I think they
19818s	are the strongest team out of the
19819s	European region right now after what we
19821s	just saw with ens frankly I don't think
19822s	it's close I think SSG is really the
19823s	only team that's going to be able to
19825s	really put up a fight in an
19826s	international competition and then of
19828s	course NRG they are the third seed from
19830s	North America right I think it's fair to
19831s	say they are the weakest team from na
19833s	here and so you know it's pretty much an
19835s	expected result I am really excited to
19837s	see that next match in the bracket
19838s	though can SSG actually take it to
19840s	Falcons who I mean with the performance
19842s	Falcons put out and and The Meta they're
19844s	showing this could be a real test for
19846s	SSG I think that's going to be a clash
19847s	of styles it's going to be about who can
19849s	enforce their will and honestly I'm a
19850s	little worried for SSG I think ratra
19852s	really vulnerable to malga with the life
19853s	steal you're you're really especially
19855s	that B that they really love to play on
19857s	SSG you're incredibly vulnerable to MAA
19860s	running for you landing on the backline
19862s	Genji dashing in Venture being that
19864s	reliable followup I mean there's so much
19865s	to worry about luckily they don't have
19867s	to play today so they they can they can
19869s	prep they can uh you know go back to the
19872s	Vault dungeon H take a look at how the
19874s	opposition got it done let's actually
19875s	take a look at how they progressed
19877s	through the upper bracket here Johnny
19880s	this was uh these are some highlights of
19881s	their match against uh energy shot yeah
19885s	and you're seeing had and infected both
19887s	on Winston here which is you know pretty
19888s	telling that both of these teams are
19889s	comfortable bringing out the de
19890s	composition if they want to right hard
19893s	also infected playing the rhor and the
19895s	sigma so we're saying all kinds of
19896s	compositions from these teams which is
19898s	bit of a delight you know with M it was
19900s	pretty much we're going to play this
19901s	Sigma competition hardi coming out with
19903s	the Reinhardt though that I think that
19904s	proves that in this tournament as well
19906s	they're comfortable bringing out that
19907s	hero if needed right but pretty
19909s	comfortable three from SG I agree with
19910s	Jake I think SG more so than NS has the
19914s	opportunity to really fight with some of
19916s	the these better Asia teams right or
19917s	tant for example but you know this first
19920s	match against the NRG shock uh that
19923s	really is just course for the part for
19925s	the course forg here yeah I think that
19927s	Lucio Kiri is actually a great look for
19929s	SSG keeping the Lucio that they're so
19931s	comfortable with that they're playing
19932s	around speed around sound barrier
19933s	they're so dominant on that when they
19934s	play a rush but you bring in a sigma you
19937s	bring in a Winston right now you're
19938s	you're dramatically changing the
19940s	character of your comp and really
19941s	showing what that hottie's been in the
19942s	lab working on his flexibility and
19944s	bringing actually an incredible amount
19945s	of value to his team that strategically
19947s	they're consistently staying in the
19948s	advantage historically that wasn't their
19950s	MO historically they were okay we're
19952s	going to lock it in on our comfort comp
19953s	we're just going to bring what we
19954s	brought and hope for the best but they
19956s	weren't doing that in that last match
19958s	right we get to see that they're showing
19959s	a ton of flexibility which is going to
19960s	be critical going up against some of the
19962s	strongest teams in the world here yeah
19963s	and that earned them not just a do but
19965s	also a break because they get to rest
19968s	until their game tomorrow on the Opera
19970s	bracket as we progress here through our
19972s	first day though we do have more matches
19974s	coming up on the other side of this
19976s	break you will get to witness crazy
19978s	raccoons taking on M80 let's see who's
19982s	going to come out on top of that after a
19984s	quick break don't go anywhere

20310s	Porche 911 GT3 unique metal Grill I need
20314s	this thing so I need it in my life the
20316s	same actually same uh that thing clean I
20318s	mean everything Porsche is clean so
20319s	there is that now we have some matches
20322s	coming up they hopefully also will be
20325s	clean we're expecting of course the best
20327s	performance from all of them uh on our
20330s	stream we going to see crazy raccoons
20332s	and M80 going to BS then of course we
20335s	also have J and nectra covering all the
20337s	action on
20339s	_ Esports 2 that's where you can find
20343s	Toronto and twisted mines uh so you know
20347s	just make sure that you're not you're
20349s	not missing out on anything that is
20350s	going to transpire today in this Hall
20353s	yeah there's a lot of great action of
20354s	course taking place here on the very
20356s	first day right uh we're going to Beed
20358s	to Crazy raccoons against M8 this is
20360s	going to be a giga Banger like my
20362s	excitement is beyond Zoe I can't put it
20365s	into words mainly because I'm Swedish
20367s	but also because I'm really excited
20368s	probably I mean I think with what
20370s	Falcons just showed right the potential
20372s	to play double Flex DPS we could really
20374s	see a huge shake up at The Meta that I
20375s	think is actually really great for M80 I
20378s	think that's where they shine too with
20380s	in this DPS flexibility you got Pelican
20382s	who has looked amazing on Tracer but you
20384s	know he's got a ridiculous Genji far
20386s	every hero in the game frankly on DPS in
20388s	his back pocket happy as well hit scan
20391s	player but honestly happy always then
20393s	Outlaws used to love coming back on far
20395s	he lived to come back on Far So I really
20397s	think this this is another great team
20399s	that can utilize some of this
20400s	flexibility potential for a double Flex
20402s	DPS lineup That Falcon showed is
20404s	possible that it works at the very
20405s	highest level however they are going
20407s	going up against arguably most people
20410s	would say the best T world right now T
20412s	they got tour there's no way around it
20414s	like yes M has a lot of star power in
20416s	Rust yes they have that super strong DPS
20418s	lineup we all know and love but they are
20421s	going up to what many people do consider
20423s	the Korean super team and crazy raccoon
20426s	they've just they've showed us why time
20428s	and time again they have to be
20430s	considered the favorite yeah absolutely
20432s	I mean they've been showing it to
20433s	falcons as well like it's undisputable
20435s	at this point that this is the best team
20436s	in the world right coming in to this
20438s	tournament he sang has had a fantastic
20439s	season as well after his stint on the
20441s	Vancouver Titans and the San Francisco
20442s	shock last year right comboing combining
20444s	with lip rather who has been one of the
20447s	best hisam players in the world for like
20449s	three years for like four years at this
20451s	point multiple time rollstar of course a
20453s	grand over League Grand finals champion
20454s	in lip so I mean this is a lethal damage
20457s	U that is really fighting on all Zanders
20459s	here with a backline jake that you're
20460s	quite familiar with too yeah I mean Shu
20463s	I think shu is the best in the world on
20464s	support far and none I mean people talk
20466s	a lot about sh and fielder for good
20467s	reason they're incredible players but
20469s	when you want to talk about one
20471s	individual player on support she was
20473s	number one I I I really don't think
20475s	there's much contest on this he is an
20476s	absolute monster whether it's the the
20478s	Anna the batist the kle whatever this
20480s	guy plays he is a just a freak of nature
20483s	he is so devastating I mean the guy does
20485s	more damage than the average DPS player
20487s	most games he plays he's winning the 1 V
20489s	one you show up in the backline you
20491s	thought you thought you were locked I
20492s	was locked in here with you no no no sir
20493s	come come challenge the shoe Baptist in
20496s	a one one he's the scar is DPS on the
20498s	server playing support that's what she
20500s	was all about so definitely you know
20502s	it's going to be a steep road ahead for
20504s	the opposition here uh I've been on that
20506s	Chu hype train ever since he joined the
20508s	O watch League back in the days and I
20510s	have never unboarded said train in fact
20513s	I think I'm actually the conductor I
20514s	think I'm actually driving a train you
20516s	have an Atlanta rain train somewhere in
20517s	the garage any trains any any train
20520s	enthusiasts here now I do we do have to
20523s	talk of course about the opposition here
20525s	M80 they do rock a lot of star Pirates
20527s	themselves they do have a lot of
20528s	explosive
20530s	players however if we just looking at
20532s	pound-for-pound how do they St stack up
20534s	against FR Rin I think the DPS lineup is
20537s	certainly where you have to start when
20538s	it comes to talking about M80 I think
20540s	Pelican happy this is a worldclass DPS
20542s	line these guys can handle any hero in
20544s	the game that you don't need subs
20546s	whatsoever I think it comes to DPS on
20548s	this team and these guys are absolutely
20550s	Elite level you know even Pelican was on
20552s	like 150 ping for the start of owcs and
20555s	he was still carrying on Tracer that is
20557s	an ABS feet I didn't think that was
20559s	possible until he showed me it was and I
20561s	think Hawk Best Western tank in the
20562s	world I don't think many people would
20564s	would really contest that right now has
20565s	been showing incredible flexibility well
20568s	I mean for me for me it's HW from like
20570s	raw raw skill rawan I'm just I'm just
20572s	giving prop it's fair it's fair there's
20575s	there's a conversation to be had but I
20576s	think Hawk absolutely monstrous and then
20578s	in the backline ultraviolet has been
20579s	rank one and a for a long time
20581s	incredibly mechanically talented Flex
20583s	support him and liar I think they are
20585s	the biggest question mark in the roster
20586s	can they keep up with the Squad are they
20588s	going to be a vulnerability to be
20589s	punished we've called that up before
20590s	though and they've they've really shown
20592s	incredible presence of mind and
20593s	incredible focus on Match day this is
20595s	though undoubtedly this is the toughest
20597s	test M8 has ever faced in Crazy raccoons
20599s	in the tournament favorites best team of
20601s	the world we we've called them many
20602s	things but certainly the tough ATT test
20604s	R8 yeah I think I think worth mentioning
20606s	is as much as we talk about lion
20607s	ultraviolet the fact that the meta for
20609s	the most part you can play Lucio and
20610s	KIRO make sure that they're at least
20612s	comfortable in the heroes they're
20613s	playing and that is going to be crucial
20614s	setting up your damage player for
20615s	Success let's actually get a Vibe check
20617s	from the team because prior to this
20619s	match Jack actually had an opportunity
20621s	to sit down and chat with them let's see
20623s	what they had to
20625s	say my name is Jor I'm with uh M8 here
20628s	at the Dallas major a day before the
20631s	games kick off how are you guys doing
20633s	how are you feeling I'm feeling pretty
20635s	good great you guys want to introduce
20637s	yourselves that's probably a better way
20639s	to start things off maybe I'm
20641s	liar I'm ultraviolet I'm Pelican I'm
20644s	happy Pelican Hawk have some sick bird
20648s	names if you both could choose bird
20650s	names for your other teammates what
20652s	would they be I don't know they they
20654s	should have choose they can choose their
20655s	own what does lie look like bird
20658s	wise what I look like a griffin what's a
20661s	griffin is it like a white it's like a
20664s	like a flying eagle like Lion thing yeah
20668s	okay take that that's a compliment I
20670s	like that there's a lot of like talk on
20673s	the streets about Korea being the best
20675s	region coming in what do you guys think
20677s	think yeah I mean they definitely have
20680s	the two best teams but I think there
20682s	might be a shift in who's the better one
20684s	coming into this major what would you
20686s	say is the most fraudulent region then
20688s	na na a bunch of frauds your your frauds
20693s	yeah yeah okay I like that talk he FR
20696s	too A lot of the regions are really
20698s	topheavy right now I think you think he
20699s	going to be easy prey then yeah I don't
20701s	think Twisted minds are even playing to
20704s	like win they're just here for a
20705s	vacation and I think also students of
20707s	the game are here for a vacation too
20708s	with their Hawaiian shirts which I
20710s	respect that look pretty sick actually
20712s	they look like they're off at
20714s	se and a good way who do you think the
20717s	worst players are for each role coming
20720s	into the tournament I'm not joining this
20721s	one cuz I'm a support player I'm not
20722s	throwing okay okay you didn't have to
20724s	say anything but just good as the game
20726s	okay what that whole lineup yeah you
20729s	think they're going to get Smackdown do
20730s	you think they'll take any maps at all
20732s	listen I don't think it'll be close but
20734s	I'm praying for dog fights for students
20736s	of the game just for the content like I
20738s	think it would be so funny PG on on
20741s	stage with his crusty mouse pad going
20743s	map five against SSG that would make my
20746s	day that would make whole you want it to
20748s	go that I want it to go the distance but
20749s	then but then but then I want them to
20752s	lose and then they can have their they
20754s	can have their lower bracket run they
20756s	can have their hero story for each of
20758s	you is there like one player here that

20827s	for providing some insight kicking it
20829s	off with some most important questions
20831s	uh which bird would they be liar I see a
20834s	golden pheasant what that's that's what
20836s	I'm saying golden Fe a f a golden F
20840s	they're gorgeous but like what what's
20841s	your issue with the golden G is way
20844s	cooler seriously but he's a golden
20846s	peasant to me all right re name change
20850s	we'll see what we can do with the
20850s	backstage long build uh curu is that
20854s	that that's what they called right long
20855s	build C you know Birds way more than me
20859s	I'm in a mid I bird watching era it Sak
20862s	up you trust and pelicans and that's it
20866s	you learned all his bird names from from
20867s	overwatchers SE educ yeah yeah I know
20872s	those I know those birds now before we
20874s	rattling down more birds that we happen
20875s	to know uh we also want to fly over to
20878s	our be stream to check in with them and
20880s	see how they're
20881s	doing but
20883s	unfortunately someone's Doom F cleaning
20885s	yet again they don't need to move the
20886s	bot either way you so they might not
20888s	even choose to move it unless they want
20890s	to go for the star point to get the full
20891s	cap and I think that's exactly what
20892s	they're going to do pushes so far
20894s	forward too is someone just Tri to keep
20896s	everybody in the
20897s	spawn he's literally in the spawn door I
20901s	mean I mean meteor strike oh and sugar
20904s	free side in the sky too
20906s	AAL to be fair AAL needed to touch that
20910s	uh but I think that's about it they've
20912s	got control of the Bots Meritt does hit
20914s	the recall sugar free is dead sure but
20918s	uh that's all over Toronto they're going
20921s	to full cap and find themselves 20 in
20925s	the series match points as uh yeah we
20928s	move on to our third and final map in
20931s	just a moment yeah Tonto def kind of
20934s	living up to those Hypes and
20935s	expectations that they would be a front
20937s	runner in a competition like this still
20940s	as we've talked about Twisted Minds not
20944s	living up to their full potential or
20946s	their fullest potential yes yeah it's
20948s	definitely rough I mean quartz has just
20950s	been such a superstar in EU um and not
20953s	having him in here same with labda to be
20955s	fair as well um it's been a bit bit
20957s	rough but Toronto coming away with this
20959s	one with a three you'd imagine after
20960s	this next map it will be twisted minds
20962s	of course I'm choosing the map type and
20964s	uh the map itself so we'll see where
20966s	they want to take us u a Tor friendly
20968s	map a Sim friendly map I'm not sure what
20972s	do we need welcome back everyone you
20975s	almost got to see a Mr dancing mat is
20978s	dancing on stage for people in the
20980s	audience you to be here you had to be
20982s	here that's what that's what CT that's
20984s	right if you're here make sure to drop
20986s	by the stage you'll get to see a lot of
20988s	stuff now uh things uh things and stuff
20990s	that we got to see we just saw the
20992s	tailand of that match we actually have
20994s	some Highlands as well so I mean look if
20996s	we're looking at this particular matchup
20998s	uh and at the teams participating it
21000s	it's no secret that Twist of Minds had
21003s	some roster struggles leading into this
21005s	so expectations were look I'm I'm going
21008s	keep it a buck this one this one a this
21010s	one ain't a match this one this one's a
21012s	a beat down a shellacking these guys are
21014s	roll spots sugar free on hit scan
21016s	they're just trolling and it doesn't
21018s	matter they're they're AB Sigma
21020s	though yeah I mean I haven't seen it so
21024s	I can't comment on it I mean look all
21026s	I'm going to say is they're they're
21027s	locking a Tor it's not looking so hot I
21030s	heard a lot I actually spoke to them
21031s	yesterday we'll take a look at that clip
21033s	later but I heard a lot about ak's Tor
21035s	so uh is he a big Tor tor bring the heat
21037s	on the supposedly I mean look I was here
21040s	on the desk talking to you guys but I'm
21042s	just saying stay tuned maybe a comeback
21043s	bring in Brewing this one oh yeah this
21045s	one's really going to go this one's I'm
21047s	doing my job Jak yeah yeah they're going
21049s	to really I think they they picked push
21052s	with the second MTH like they don't care
21054s	man they they're going to the fastest
21056s	mths oh no we'll be taking a look at
21058s	them maybe later you know you got more m
21061s	i mean if they find themselves in the
21062s	lower bracket be covering both the lower
21065s	bracket matches to as well so that also
21068s	means that we will get we will have to
21070s	say goodbye to two teams I believe today
21073s	as we are in a double elimination
21074s	bracket of course uh let's see which of
21076s	the teams will be on the cutting block
21079s	for now the series is still going on
21081s	we're heading into a very quick break
21082s	and when we come back we cover all the
21084s	action between crazy raccoons and M80
21086s	don't go anywhere

21406s	uh but also because it's fun you're a
21407s	big Target to hit so it's easy it's easy
21410s	I don't have to aim very high or far
21413s	whatever either way uh of course uh we
21415s	have a match going on off stream right
21417s	now or off off of our stream you at home
21420s	can of course go and watch it check out
21422s	necron Jaws covering all the action uh
21425s	to I was about say something I already
21427s	didn't want to say to see Twisted Minds
21431s	into the lower bracket but that that's
21432s	mean uh there's always they haven't lost
21435s	yet that's
21436s	right still alive that's right that's
21440s	right the clock is taking uh either way
21443s	we're waiting of course for our next
21445s	match to start here as we're finding
21447s	ourselves still in the upper bracket
21450s	quarterfinals brackets can we show the
21453s	brackets did actually you know what
21455s	scrap the brackets we are ready for the
21458s	teams let's take a first look at both of
21460s	those two squats and send it over to
21462s	Danny to walk him
21466s	out Dallas get your hands together for
21470s	your first team it is none other than
21472s	crazy
21476s	[Music]
21479s	raccoons but it's been crazy raccoons
21482s	that established their dominance in E
21483s	and now coming as tournament favorites
21485s	here in Dallas it's start with Superstar
21487s	playmaker shoe in the back line
21488s	alongside Chon you can play whatever
21490s	Superior hero is after of him set up the
21492s	most decorated damage player in
21494s	OverWatch Esports history lip a three
21496s	time MVP n a four-time road star and an
21498s	OverWatch League Grand finals champion
21500s	and MVP lip is the OverWatch gaming
21503s	warlord who's come to Dallas to conquer
21505s	once more
21517s	and their opponents ladies and gentlemen
21519s	Make some noise for
21521s	[Music]
21525s	M80 Superstar team hailing from North
21528s	America qualifying second with a chip on
21530s	their shoulder they want to secure a win
21532s	here proving their pride of place here
21534s	playing in Dallas in front of a HomeTown
21536s	crowd they want to hear your support
21538s	we've got happy and Pelican leading the
21540s	way as an incredible damage Duo Hawk one
21542s	of the most stored Western tank players
21544s	and some of the highest skill backline
21545s	we've seen ultraviolet liar together
21548s	holding it down keeping everyone
21549s	supported new changes in the metabat
21551s	well I think for M80 though they face
21553s	off against the Titan this is set to be
21555s	an incredible match one with
21556s	ramifications going much deeper into the
21559s	tournament I mean bird names are not on
21561s	that team they're trying to fly high but
21562s	they have to take down the favorite to
21565s	win it all let's see if they can get it
21566s	done but for all the action we want more
21569s	we'll be sending it over to Mitch and Mr
21572s	X thank you very much so is once more a
21575s	regional clash of two teams that have
21578s	independently come to different
21579s	solutions on how best to play OverWatch
21581s	right now M80 uh look our team I think
21583s	that showed us a great deal of
21585s	flexibility throughout sort of the North
21586s	American stages and they even managed to
21588s	beat that Toronto defiant roster in that
21591s	upper final before falling in the
21593s	ultimate Grand Final there so they've
21595s	shown some potential to really punch up
21597s	they're going to have to punch pretty
21598s	darn High against crazy raccoon though
21601s	yeah I mean crazy raccoon is an
21602s	incredibly strong team I think for M80
21605s	the the real kind of uh probably story
21608s	decider in terms of like how close the
21610s	series will be is how the backline will
21612s	play right with liar and UltraViolet how
21614s	will they perform here today you think
21616s	that Hawk and the Damage dealers will be
21619s	up to the occasion in terms of uh
21621s	stepping up to play to this level we've
21622s	seen ultraviolet and liar obviously play
21624s	at an extremely high level in the past
21626s	the OverWatch league but we'll see if
21627s	they can play at that Championship level
21628s	today so something that we know is that
21631s	a might have been scrimming a lot with
21633s	with apack teams when they can namely
21635s	Falcons so they G up against that Squad
21637s	obviously when you go into a tournament
21639s	and you're on the other side of a
21640s	bracket from a team you try and get that
21641s	scrim practice in against them so M been
21644s	very well exposed at this point to at
21646s	least like the metagame preference of
21647s	that Asia region now it's a very it's a
21650s	very different team and if you remember
21652s	the Asia final uh crazy raccoon were
21654s	dominant in that showing over Falcon so
21656s	we are definitely looking at a team on
21658s	the left side of the stage regard of by
21660s	many to be the best team in the world
21664s	right now I mean the Bas side that the
21666s	strikes fear in you when you know lips
21668s	coming you best be running and hiding
21669s	this team are the real deal I mean these
21671s	are two teams that you would expect to
21674s	uh really solidify themselves in the top
21676s	four right uh know with the way things
21678s	are going right I know crazy raccoon
21680s	Falcon obviously extremely strong
21682s	Toronto uh and then really like you're
21684s	looking at like probably like M8 and
21685s	like SSG in terms of uh looking at that
21688s	top four scenario those two last teams
21690s	that's a quite a compelling match up I
21692s	think if we were to get it think M here
21695s	again shown as they have Incredible
21697s	strength at the DPS role primarily I
21699s	think that's definitely like a highlight
21700s	when you look at this team hwk is a true
21702s	veteran player and someone who's always
21703s	kept such a cool head previously uh you
21706s	know on the Atlanta rign he actually
21708s	didn't get as much of a run last year as
21709s	he would have liked I mean he was
21711s	swapping in and out with donk if you
21712s	remember now though an absolute main
21714s	stay on this team this guy's been in the
21717s	league for I mean at the top level I say
21718s	in the league at the top level for a
21720s	long long time remember UV of course you
21722s	know really made a splash when he came
21724s	alongside OG into the Atlanta team his
21726s	first game he hits like a five player
21728s	biotic grenade that's where I remember
21730s	him from so uh again this guy serious
21733s	with that shoot Chong backlight I know
21736s	who I've got oh my God that that is a a
21738s	filthy back fight CH wrong uh making a
21741s	keys for you know best main support
21744s	right I like how he made up how much
21745s	Chong's like contract was worth when he
21747s	when he got sort of brought over onto
21749s	that
21750s	uh that was probably half of Jake that
21753s	probably half of Jake's Mr 250k I think
21755s	it was the number
21757s	yeah Jake Jake's probably double that
21759s	with the
21760s	Y maybe triple up there with Bo
21766s	cry two meta we'll see now uh as we kind
21771s	of uh get into this first map looks like
21773s	a would be Antarctic Peninsula so uh you
21777s	were really looking at like maybe like
21778s	ilos kind of like have some like
21780s	different things if we see some
21781s	variation off of what we saw in the
21783s	first series right uh still uh you know
21786s	we at least in the look in uh to Toronto
21789s	uh Twisted Minds couldn't really bleam
21791s	anything in their reads of the meta with
21792s	how that series was going so M80 looking
21795s	ahead into a map Pool the first map is
21797s	is predetermined I think antic initially
21799s	here again in this series yeah M80 do
21801s	not want to play jalter they don't want
21803s	to play poo so those are maps you might
21806s	expect to see come up I think crazy
21807s	racon will try and pick jalta into you
21809s	they have Li uh it is that is terrifying
21812s	but we saw just how much better this M8
21813s	team looked when they got Pelican happy
21815s	on
21816s	they got him State side right they would
21818s	have bring him to North America we hold
21820s	on but I think I think was Jacob Johnny
21822s	made a great point on the desk even on
21825s	PING ruining them on Traer 150 ping now
21828s	at OverWatch that feels less bad than
21831s	some other titles because of like you
21832s	know I guess how the anti- works but
21834s	that is still
21836s	unbelievable yeah and I mean look you
21838s	expect them to elevate their play at a
21841s	land event right you know Li obviously
21843s	in the other side he's just tremendous
21845s	players in their own right but uh when
21847s	you looked at this M80 roster and you
21849s	saw that they got pelican in happy you
21851s	were like oh they're going to be one of
21852s	the best in na without a doubt so
21854s	something I really enjoyed and um big
21855s	shout out to Commander Rex who took the
21857s	time to interview liar um what we found
21859s	out sort of from that content is that
21861s	you know M80 were kind of the first team
21864s	internationally that really started
21865s	putting far in lot of their comps and it
21866s	was all because happy picked it in rank
21868s	to troll p and p picked it back next to
21870s	troll happy and then it got picked in a
21872s	scrim and it turns out it was pretty
21874s	darn good that was a great little tidbit
21875s	they got shared with us there something
21877s	that liar had to say so we will see that
21879s	on a couple Maps but they made sort of
21880s	claim we' kind of toned it down a little
21882s	bit we're not playing it on every B like
21884s	we really tried to force it for quite a
21886s	while but again how could you argue if
21888s	Pelican is going to bring the far in
21890s	he's always been incredible on that role
21891s	the echo as well there's a lot of those
21892s	Airborne Heroes projectile he looks very
21895s	very good here's our typic final of
21898s	course yeah I mean you won't really
21899s	argue really with whatever Pelican
21901s	selects right know one of the players
21904s	whether it's you know projectile scan
21906s	regardless right you you kind of like
21908s	his chances on the role as uh at least
21911s	here early on you know both teams kind
21914s	of hovering this uh far selection so he
21917s	say played this uh you know in the grand
21920s	Finals over in Asia as well it was that
21922s	first map of course neple could still
21923s	get away with it here especially on on
21925s	this kind of map here we go folks out of
21927s	the gates crazy raccoon your number one
21929s	from Asia take on M8 a great hope from
21932s	North America their number two seat a
21935s	little bit more helpful for the far uh
21937s	with the K uh in the mix right a little
21939s	bit easier with B is hard yeah playing
21941s	playing Bap Lucio with the far is very
21944s	you play ground far all the time see
21945s	Pelican is not hovering far off the
21948s	ground you also have a diva with the bat
21950s	it's tough defense Matrix kind of like
21953s	helps a little bit but you're not going
21954s	to kind of play The Far you know around
21956s	the diva in that much kind of Unison
21959s	right where it allows heing to play a
21961s	little bit more aggressive as you see
21962s	now U he's in a tough spot there yeah
21964s	he's saying with a direct hit
21966s	that's a Baptist already
21969s	down do it
21971s	again like I will he's like oh okay I'm
21974s	not getting away from that one there is
21975s	Li yeah I mean this is just way harder
21978s	uh for Pelican to play not even in terms
21980s	of the tank right but uh you know it
21983s	just without that kind of feeling it's
21985s	not like know shoes going to pocket he's
21987s	saying but uh just the ease of being
21989s	able to heal that far A little bit
21991s	easier can play definitely more
21994s	aggressive back in we come Taps there
21996s	happy beautiful
21998s	shots link sent together
22000s	stunningly he's saying has his wings
22003s	clipped peler still needs to be careful
22005s	lip is at large here comes the stop
22006s	happy going to be caught out this is not
22008s	what Cassidy wants to be jum is able to
22010s	take him out Hulk reciprocates though
22012s	both teams getting rid of each other's
22013s	cassid first you can see the FL chart
22015s	playing out here craa the numbers
22017s	Advantage but they've lost the point as
22018s	P flips it back Midway through the fight
22021s	now it's a decent little off angle to
22022s	find some damage but liar got chased
22024s	Down's got to lead he makes it back into
22027s	the fight right the fight kind of goes
22029s	uh a little bit long there so even
22031s	though mad kind of flips it for just a
22032s	little bit is crazy recruit take control
22036s	right back as I now ultra violet now
22038s	building up with this amp Matrix double
22041s	support all on the other S Plus this
22043s	barrage so things stacking up heavily in
22046s	Crazy Ron's favor this approach is still
22048s	dangerous y susceptible the concussive
22050s	blast knocking you away Ultra VI again
22052s	has to go for another early immortality
22054s	field is it good enough it looks like it
22055s	by a bit of time here for M80 eventually
22058s	it's brought down the mrix was not able
22060s	to be used as crazy raccoon break line
22062s	of side around that corner and he's
22063s	saying that is a huge risk and he finds
22066s	three with that barrage and then the
22067s	followup is
22069s	good wow crazy racuna on another level M
22072s	yeah I mean it's rare you see the rocket
22074s	barrage result in anything but just
22076s	instant death for the VAR but you know a
22078s	double kill with the barrage know one
22080s	more towards the end will switch over to
22082s	the ventur so uh this seems like just to
22085s	get back touch the point you can't yeah
22087s	it probably is you can't interact with
22088s	far very well at all as Venture they
22091s	struggle to get the grips for those
22092s	flying targets look how low Hawk is he
22095s	backs away C fight available here for
22097s	both malas lip with a dead eye this is
22098s	going to open up space that M had to
22100s	push into there no choice liar exposes
22103s	himself to that insta kill from lip and
22105s	now there's more work to be done but Mia
22107s	down to the drags happy emerges into a
22111s	dystopia that features none of his
22113s	teammates and cater raccoon take a
22115s	comfortable first rounde
22116s	yeah just makes it very difficult
22118s	playing that far with that bti in fact
22120s	like like you're not really getting much
22122s	value out of the amp Matrix there uh for
22124s	that far you're not really getting a ton
22126s	of value I mean if the far is getting
22128s	tons of value out of like immortality
22129s	field and ant Matrix not really using
22131s	the kit of being up in the sky and like
22134s	the the verticality of it right like you
22136s	want to kind of take the eyes of the
22138s	opponent like in all different
22139s	directions right so to just kind of play
22141s	ground uh know far or something a little
22143s	bit closer to the ground uh less aerial
22146s	uh feels like a little bit of a miss and
22147s	but one thing I thought that uh was
22149s	really interesting that Jake brought up
22150s	there on the desk earlier was like how
22152s	uh far is kind of like you know in the
22154s	past right you just kind of play her far
22156s	at a distance up in the sky it's way
22159s	more of like a flank or aggressive play
22161s	style now way closer to uh know like an
22164s	aerial flanker as opposed to kind of the
22166s	the traditional just stand at a distance
22168s	and do
22171s	damage we go once more far is for both
22173s	sides Hulk on the ratra
22176s	still here for Ultra but maybe a little
22178s	bit easier to keep his tank in the game
22181s	the diva was short lived earlier on is
22183s	Tim get the focus even with the
22185s	imortality field I don't think M8 you're
22187s	in a position to make use of it if you
22189s	can't keep the supports alive for M8
22191s	this is going to be a relatively fast
22193s	game relatively because you have the
22195s	immortality field used there like
22197s	instantly uh for a80 uh yeah you have to
22202s	put enough pressure onto heent so we
22204s	won't just kind of like get into to your
22206s	backline and just you know double con
22208s	cuss you know uh double shot your
22210s	supports and take them out uh can't just
22213s	be using that that fast czy raccoon
22216s	happy enough to fall back to the point
22218s	here can really start to poke HW and Co
22221s	down happy needs to be careful taking a
22223s	lot of Splash here and you see that he's
22225s	operating outside of Happy's sort of
22226s	effective range the damage fall off is
22228s	such that heang has plenty of time to
22230s	get away from the Cassidy and here they
22232s	go wrap around look at this junman gives
22234s	them absolutely no room to breathe walks
22235s	into the Vortex and is slowed up and
22237s	that buys a chance to reposition he's
22239s	saying look to capitalize with an off
22241s	angle there yeah pelan has been putting
22243s	down a ton of damage here right but look
22245s	at the the difference in terms of the
22246s	cidies in terms of ultimate charge right
22248s	I know lip already had a dead eye happy
22250s	know 70% where he's been able to get a
22253s	little bit more value that kind of comes
22254s	off of that first fight he get really
22256s	aggressive he didn't even have to go for
22258s	the barrage there happy pelic got
22259s	smashed and there's no DPS up at all for
22261s	M80 oh buddy they do not have a handle
22264s	on the re what soever now the Stagger
22267s	this one is going to
22268s	hurt it's long you know you mentioned
22271s	that uh the far kind of to be when you
22274s	know Pelican and happy were joking
22275s	around playing with it and then look at
22277s	what they did hand it into other team
22279s	they Unleashed yeah look at what they
22281s	look at the problem they've caused this
22283s	time though for themselves is this is
22286s	already 80% in counting on the point for
22288s	crazy raccoon this could be a really
22290s	fast map number one and many You' got
22291s	four alss to work with but they've not
22293s	forced crazy raccoon to part with any of
22294s	theirs either that's r keep he say he
22296s	gets caught in that side room he gets
22297s	out alive that's that's illegal okay
22300s	happy catches it finally a punish there
22302s	for that audacious position oh crazy
22304s	raccoon SP now the player advantage to
22306s	work with M8 move up they Ed the rally
22308s	earlier the dead IQ is but how do they
22310s	make use of this space it's enough for
22313s	to back away from it now the ant Matrix
22314s	dead ey there from happy that's
22316s	concerning for crazy raccoon but they
22318s	keep this St going they even think for a
22319s	moment to try and wrap around and put
22321s	pressure on the city and Pelican now is
22323s	here he's hang back in the fight with
22324s	the sound bar Ultra lost his immortality
22326s	field Li's in trouble though
22327s	Annihilation is the problem but the rest
22329s	of M80 are getting torn to shreds that
22331s	is filthy
22333s	stuff not even close
22335s	baby crazy raccoon snatch away and touch
22338s	Peninsula and if you blink you'll miss
22341s	it that was Lightning Fast map number
22344s	one I think uh know we both expected a
22347s	lot of people expected this uh game to
22349s	be pretty competitive right now you have
22351s	happy and Pelican on one side I think
22353s	they like uh you see they have to play
22355s	like they play like a brri back back
22356s	line there for M80 like uh it is very
22360s	much like a kind of uh know counter you
22362s	know dive you would they not really
22363s	running a Dive Right but it's a little
22365s	bit more static of a backline right you
22366s	don't have a Lucio to kind of speed in
22368s	where on the other side right you have
22370s	Chong on that Lucio getting them right
22371s	into position with like know J and go
22374s	and there's nothing they can do I mean
22375s	you're not going to be able to protect
22377s	uh you know whether it be the Cassidy or
22379s	the Baptist long enough you know with
22381s	that BR immortality field with the
22382s	amount of damage coming through with
22384s	like is not perfect for heal a far
22386s	constantly but she is at least able to
22387s	to do it without forcing a far to play
22390s	you know much in a a more dangerous
22392s	position having a really touchdown get
22393s	close I mean you get really aggressive
22395s	behind the the MAA stum you know you you
22398s	get in the mix with the far up above and
22401s	if you're just going to kind of like
22403s	play a little bit more static whether it
22405s	be like around the ratra without speed
22407s	disengage or whatnot like they just a
22410s	low of burst damage coming down where
22411s	you don't even have like an opportunity
22413s	to react right and I mean look at the
22415s	Pac but we saw it on multiple occasions
22417s	I think like the the malga plan paid out
22419s	for both teams when we saw Hawk mirror
22421s	there's one fight where they both charge
22422s	in stomp find the enemy Cy right that's
22425s	great but it's the fars that get left
22427s	alone uh that are able to sort of trade
22428s	or to put that constant pressure down
22430s	and he saying took some pretty good dous
22431s	angles with those barrages right know
22433s	was he was maybe looking to do so
22435s	towards the end of that sort of second
22437s	round but it didn't quite play out still
22439s	bit hard to punish in general these
22441s	farers even with Cassidy someone very
22443s	well equipped to do that just play
22444s	outside of his fall off range right play
22446s	around sort of that cover come from an
22448s	odd angle very very different even for
22450s	Cy who's built to shut you down to stop
22452s	you from having your away with your
22454s	opponents yeah we take a look at some of
22455s	these uh sick directs here from he his
22460s	uh filthy stuff and know in the far is
22463s	being uh this dangerous and like this
22466s	oppressive it makes it so much easier
22468s	for like lip scroll right as Li you know
22471s	lip doesn't need it to be easier for
22472s	himself right I mean just hits six shots
22475s	but the fact that like look at look at
22477s	what we see like L he's not really under
22479s	pressure from the MAA or uh the far on
22483s	the other side of things just makes his
22485s	Seline so easy to pick up kills I will
22487s	say as well that last season didn't feel
22489s	like it was quite long enough for Jin
22491s	and Max as well respectively to really
22493s	come to their own right they were very
22494s	hyped prospects these these Young Guns
22496s	uh you know sort of being brought I
22498s	think you know obviously the talent was
22501s	obvious but they weren't really able to
22502s	put it together even on a roster with
22503s	proper now though they've settled very
22505s	quickly here into startom pretty early
22507s	on in the year we we've also like
22510s	historically had in the tank role I
22512s	think probably the most where like
22515s	players are highly touted from you know
22517s	contenders in the past right come up
22519s	know to the league come up to like a
22521s	tier one team and like struggle early on
22524s	uh for a Time historically it's always
22526s	been a little bit of a thing like un
22528s	name proper well I'm saying the tank
22530s	roll specifically so the tank roll
22532s	specifically is he had a little bit of a
22534s	know an adjustment period I feel like
22535s	for a lot of Tanks who have kind of come
22537s	into the league straight away did
22539s	someone ever take time to
22541s	ramp not like feels like that guy is a
22545s	little different though no but you think
22546s	about it you know the the merry
22547s	grounding tins for like teams like the
22549s	Gladiators in the past right kind of
22551s	circle Dante yeah I mean yeah okay fair
22554s	enough that that checks out of course it
22556s	is it's a very demanding role here but
22558s	we've seen J look very very good on the
22560s	malga primarily and you have obviously
22562s	both of those tanks to sort of work
22564s	interchangeably as they have done in the
22565s	past but I mean at DPS you have probably
22568s	two individuals at the the top of their
22569s	class he's saying is also someone that
22571s	we actually didn't feel got a great
22573s	start in 2023 but when he changed teams
22576s	we all of a sudden we're like w this guy
22578s	is very good yeah I mean change of
22579s	scenery right uh different type of uh
22582s	play style for teams does wonders uh for
22584s	some players we' we've also seen that in
22586s	the past as well it's uh now with the
22588s	map Pool what in the world do you do
22591s	here if you're M80 there's a few Maps
22593s	you definitely would not want to uh
22595s	Venture your way over
22597s	to if I had to ask you to characterize
22599s	M80 style or their preferred like
22602s	compositional Arch type what you Peg to
22605s	uh well look I mean they just ended up
22607s	coming out and playing basically the
22609s	mirror to Crazy recruit right uh where
22612s	do you go off of this like Hawk can play
22614s	Sigma based stuff but do you want to
22616s	play Sigma based stuff I mean I think it
22618s	would be pretty telling right like if
22620s	they end up going to a uh a circuit uh
22623s	we've seen M8 actually do really uh
22625s	decent on Midtown uh in the past so
22628s	Midtown might be potentially a good
22629s	shout for them but you see them go to a
22631s	map like that it's pretty clear they
22633s	want to like deviate from what we saw on
22635s	map number one that's of course a bit of
22637s	a different feature here at our owcs
22640s	major is that you have the selection of
22642s	the entire map Pool to work with not
22645s	only game type but specific map as well
22648s	as we do see a fair bit of variation I
22649s	mean in Midtown and Hollywood never be
22651s	accused of being all that similar in
22653s	terms of what is required on those Maps
22657s	is the loser of that first M have the
22659s	chance to select that's also like
22662s	something that's probably going to cause
22663s	us to avoid too many three blowouts I'd
22665s	say unless there's a Monumental skill
22668s	Gap I mean I I think be yeah I mean you
22671s	would think so right with loser pick
22673s	though in the past we have had you know
22676s	a good amount of three so this is just
22678s	going of giveing them even further
22680s	selection uh down the Lo right I think
22682s	I've seen the map I don't know I don't
22685s	think so looking at the I think I've
22687s	seen it I don't believe that map's in
22689s	the pool oh really that's good then I
22691s	did not mention what that map was then
22693s	so I can believe that it's just a play I
22695s	was checking the lobby I was cheating a
22696s	little bit yeah we do a little trolling
22698s	Mitch was like oh I was checking my
22700s	notes as he looking over I'm going to
22701s	make myself screen very smart well notes
22704s	you know you see my notes was checking
22706s	my notes as Jake was holding a sign off
22708s	camera of what map they were going to
22709s	pick wait did you do that I was going to
22711s	say I I missed that my goodness but
22713s	again you like I I I do think we about
22715s	earlier no powerone no jalter no maps
22718s	that will force you into playing dive
22719s	because I think you know Hawk at times
22723s	as wion it's like better yeah I think
22725s	that that is fair I I do know they don't
22727s	prefer to go there and I think like what
22729s	s of Hawk's most powerful heroes are
22730s	like the the Divas the the the Sans the
22733s	ra Matas the all like that he looked
22734s	very good on Arissa at times as well
22736s	we're waiting on the selection here from
22738s	our two teams we're going to take a
22739s	quick break and when we come back it'll
22740s	be map number two of M8 versus the
22743s	imperious crazyer raccoons number one C
22745s	SE from Asia take on number 2 and8 we'll
22747s	see you shortly

22901s	[Music]
22930s	welcome back folks to dream hack Dallas
22932s	we are moments away from having our
22933s	second map selected here in this series
22936s	between M8 and crazy raccoon had a bit
22938s	of discussion about like how this this
22939s	sort of you know this map pick for
22941s	losers works because again if you lose
22943s	the first map control you cannot pick
22945s	another control map right once a map
22947s	type has been played you now have to
22949s	choose from the other ones so there's
22951s	some strategy right we talk about like
22952s	how many they don't want to go to jial
22954s	for example and could pick circuit Ro
22956s	that would mean you cannot pick another
22958s	escort map for the rest of the series
22960s	that wouldent essentially lock that one
22961s	out so there is a fair bit of
22963s	deliberation that you you need to do
22964s	that's some of what has sort of been
22966s	going on it adds another I would say it
22967s	adds another layer of strategy um you
22969s	know once the team sort of work around
22971s	that pre-selected control map uh you
22973s	obviously can't select those so you know
22975s	a Rel for some teams you said like there
22976s	is that the ilos map does require a lot
22978s	of diet to be play so a few teams
22980s	like in this round it's not ilos but it
22984s	will be later on yes I believe it may
22986s	actually be even the next round that the
22988s	ilos is the the start of the series so
22990s	yeah there is a little bit of strategy
22991s	even outside of you picking the maps
22994s	that are favorable to you because you
22995s	can also eliminate uh know another team
22998s	going to a another map game mode
23000s	combination that they're really good on
23001s	by picking maybe your best map uh in
23004s	that game mode so a little bit of a
23006s	strategy there as well let's recap a
23008s	little bit what we saw on Antarctic
23009s	Peninsula because well it wasn't a great
23012s	look for M80 they really struggled and
23014s	they played a pretty similar composition
23015s	right they switched eventually to that
23017s	malga setup they went for far we know
23018s	they like to play that we talk about a
23020s	team that's very hyped up because happy
23021s	and Pelican I yeah arguably considered
23024s	like oh we put him in the top five DPS
23025s	players pretty comfortably maybe top
23026s	seven they're up there guy kept up
23028s	against lip and he's saying lip
23030s	especially has been considered
23031s	like the best DPS player the best hit
23034s	scan player in the world like I don't
23035s	know if there's much room for debate
23037s	around that oh there was an exhaustive
23039s	amount of it around the MVP discussion
23041s	is there happens to be every year but
23043s	generally he's regarded as the best yeah
23046s	I mean Mera is incredible as well right
23048s	in the hit scan role I think that that's
23050s	a a pretty uh fair comparison I I I
23053s	think really you know this series uh in
23057s	this match specifically is like really
23059s	like the supports you know uh Chong
23061s	incredibly good I know for crazy raccoon
23064s	and I think Shu as well and I think for
23066s	uh M8 you need ultraviolet and liar
23069s	really kind of like Step Up hit another
23071s	level uh to keep the series close
23074s	something that said that I found really
23076s	interesting is that he especially in
23078s	that North American region am pretty
23080s	well regarded like they are the number
23081s	two for a reason like I said you know
23083s	it's funny to getting used to being
23085s	expected to win cuz obviously he was on
23087s	that that valali roster
23089s	who always in Underdog right they were
23091s	always up against it so excuse me this
23093s	feels like a bit of a return to to that
23095s	Vibe for him they're definitely this M80
23096s	team an underdog going up against crazy
23098s	raccoon I don't know if that's
23100s	necessarily the enviable position to be
23102s	in for obvious reasons but one that's
23103s	familiar at least to a couple of these
23105s	guys yeah I mean it's definitely a
23107s	little bit of a different feeling right
23108s	going from being uh on a team that is a
23111s	little bit of a you know Underdog right
23114s	you're just kind of like happy to be in
23116s	games as opposed to expected to win
23119s	games and win games uh against the best
23121s	teams regardless uh of reging so it's a
23125s	really uh really interesting stuff is uh
23128s	junin was in for map number one that
23130s	might be Max coming for junin
23133s	yeah we'll see if there's another sub
23135s	potentially for crazy does not look like
23138s	it at the moment so uh just that one
23141s	here yeah Max and ger obviously pretty
23142s	familiar with being sort of used quite
23144s	interchangeably right I think a lot of
23146s	the time it came down to who would be
23147s	operating the ratra uh a few the
23150s	situations should been also showed us
23151s	some more the mobile tanks in the past
23154s	yeah and you know with the the map
23156s	selection so uh we were kind of like
23158s	debating about where where potentially
23161s	uh they would go it's actually going to
23162s	be Havana for the map pick so the
23164s	graphic yeah didn't have Havana so yeah
23166s	the map po graphic we demonstrated was
23168s	slightly incorrect so Havana is in the
23170s	map Pool and look again it's the same
23173s	strategy I think as picking circuit
23175s	Royal it's like hey let's take a map
23177s	here that doesn't really suit dive it's
23179s	it's not a dive map guys at all here is
23182s	the actual uh map Pool and again out of
23185s	those escort Maps circuit Royal Havana
23187s	quite similar Realto as well you can
23190s	definitely play divon um but it tends to
23192s	be a bit more longer and shabal a lot
23194s	these esot maps to same in that regard
23196s	but yeah going to a map like cavana
23198s	definitely means you're in for a pitch
23199s	battle those Rush comps those Sigma
23201s	based compositions very very powerful
23203s	cuz there are some very long Sidelines
23205s	on this map especially in that last
23207s	phase and right at the start right just
23209s	they're an extremely long just kind of a
23213s	hallway type choke at the start of the
23216s	map uh with like that really close
23218s	corner right so uh we've seen tons of
23220s	teams play the sigma in that type of
23222s	position especially on the defensive
23224s	side uh and I think you know for crazy
23227s	recruit like you see this map you know
23229s	make a tank Swap and then you're just
23230s	kind of good to go uh I I think M80
23233s	you're probably looking at hawk playing
23235s	the sigma especially because if you're
23237s	going to like commit right if you're
23238s	going to play a Baptist know back line
23241s	right with the the far play you may as
23243s	well have a
23245s	signal fun fact this is one of the maps
23247s	that might Che kind of famous it wasn't
23250s	already famous beforehand but the side
23252s	of one of the most ridiculous Baptist
23254s	play we've ever seen in competitive
23256s	OverWatch he's only going to be on a
23258s	KIRO this time around but let's discuss
23262s	this team compositions cuz gray and
23263s	raccoon say no we are playing far we are
23266s	sticking to this setup and again they're
23269s	going to be on the malga so they swap
23271s	tanks same picks uh yeah probably just
23274s	for something potentially a little bit
23275s	different right know in the hero port to
23277s	go to at another point so he is showing
23280s	them he is he is showing them what he's
23281s	playing they will play extremely close
23284s	up
23285s	spawn door
23288s	here plays his full body and is happy
23291s	playing the Bastion here off the rip
23293s	trying to put down enough damage to open
23295s	things upd oh well prison take down
23298s	happy they get picked off straight away
23300s	they charge right into it Che eventually
23302s	Falls and just a loss of one hero here
23304s	generally Heralds the end of the spawn
23306s	camp but CRA raccoon can stick around a
23309s	while sto a little bit buy themselves a
23311s	bit of a buffer now you've already
23312s	melted half a minute off the clock
23315s	uh there'll be Pelican now going over I
23318s	having that far in play trying to put
23320s	down some damage on the M uses that
23322s	charge to get back towards this corner
23324s	this is where usually most of the fights
23326s	take place here first part of
23329s	Havana doesn't want to swing any wider
23331s	in this corner right now he's definitely
23333s	under a lot of threat by
23335s	lip say as close to the m as possible
23337s	but this is where he gets nasty a lot of
23339s	Splash damage inside that room and they
23341s	may able to claim that part of the map
23343s	for themselves with the cart moves up
23345s	what's your thoughts on the soj versus
23347s	the cidy here uh you know soj obviously
23349s	a little bit like longer sight lines a
23351s	little bit more range uh than the cidy
23354s	but the cidy survivability is so nice
23356s	yeah but the soj obviously like has a
23358s	better Escape I think you know be use
23360s	that power slide and forces far to play
23362s	even tighter than the Cass does because
23364s	of effective range damage full off she
23366s	can't just insta kill you though now
23368s	with that rail gun but they are more
23369s	consistent to keep that though you don't
23371s	have to aim dead ey good for two ultra
23374s	thring and Li cleans him up never want
23377s	to be in that position that liar was it
23378s	right there
23379s	the KE back into the spawn
23382s	door now you can resume the SP Camp
23385s	especially after that bar he saged for
23387s	two are you kidding oh M8 it's a
23390s	nightmare they can't wake up from I mean
23393s	this just kind of gives you I mean
23394s	obviously they being a number one out of
23397s	the Asia region is extremely impressive
23399s	with the know uh level of play there uh
23403s	but to spawn Camp essentially right now
23406s	of the level of M80 is crazy Rush
23409s	employed here is the St Max enters with
23412s	a flourish M under a lot of pressure
23414s	morality field helping for a Time cage
23416s	fight going to be used to prevent The
23417s	Escape of liar and Hawk can't stuck away
23421s	from them for a while the LI is normally
23423s	unfavored but look at him moving to a
23424s	range that suits Cy a little better he
23427s	has no fear he does not respect happy
23430s	emoting in his face it's uh control r
23434s	down this one who else is trying to em
23436s	in ha face uh so this is's opportunity
23439s	right you have like a load of ultimates
23441s	here to work with the ultra Viet now off
23442s	B he's going to play the
23444s	K I think suzu something he's hoping to
23446s	work with in a bit of extra
23448s	Mobility tries to for out look at the
23450s	push sound barrier here for Chon here in
23452s	a second kill him overclock was in play
23456s	looks like CRA raccoon are going to be
23457s	down here with the spawn camp but have a
23458s	look at that clock 1 minute M really
23462s	need to get their skates on and I don't
23463s	mean everyone switch to
23466s	Luci yeah you're going to get more
23469s	fights
23471s	here we like that uh you should get
23474s	another fight here though uh if you're
23476s	crazy absolutely looks like you
23478s	definitely would want to fight this you
23479s	know you have sound barrier to work with
23482s	you're going to have Dead Eye as well
23484s	moving out to this open area have to be
23486s	careful about this uh Pelican rocket
23488s	barrage though got to track where he's
23490s	playing from the sky rough estimates of
23492s	Chong salary by the minute here as crazy
23497s	raccoon continue to demonstrate a brand
23499s	of strength we've been unfamiliar with
23501s	lately here's Li with the dead eye fork
23504s	rather it's not chalked yet but he's not
23507s	looking good after that Dead Eye came
23509s	through pelicin at defensive barrage but
23511s	a sound barrier meets it in the middle
23512s	and Pelicans able to find the pick on
23514s	the malga crazy raccoon have the later
23516s	beat and there's only 8 seconds left on
23518s	the clock oh Hawk is in deep trouble
23521s	operation to get hay boy a dub not
23523s	looking so great so far
23526s	today yes that is a hold before the
23529s	first point there uh from crazy Rec so
23532s	they come out they attack with that
23534s	sound bear I actually kind of like the
23535s	idea from Pelican there it's like almost
23537s	like a defensive Rocka brage kind of
23538s	played around that corner didn't really
23540s	see where he was uh but they deal with
23542s	him rather quickly and then everything
23544s	starts falling apart there uh for M80 so
23547s	for M80 I think you're forced to play
23549s	like a close spawn hold here if you play
23551s	around that first corner you have one
23552s	fight essentially right no uh crazy
23555s	raccoons gets that second fight because
23557s	they play so close up so you're kind of
23559s	forced to play close up here for M80
23561s	because you want at least another
23563s	attempt there are we saying spawn Camp
23565s	close I yeah I mean where what are you
23567s	going to do you going to stand there in
23568s	the middle of the street I mean of
23569s	course you got to play as
23571s	spawn ready for ble M priced into
23575s	playing I mean probably away they'd want
23577s	to anyway I I think there there's not
23579s	much reason not to spawn Camp the only
23581s	time can go wrong is if you lose
23582s	horribly straight away and get snowball
23584s	the game that's definitely something to
23586s	be concerned about but if you're going
23587s	to lose straight away outside of the
23589s	spawn you're probably going to lose
23591s	straight away around this first Corner
23593s	uh it's it's a a dry fight with no
23595s	ultimates to begin with right so uh if
23597s	you're going to lose from that you you
23599s	may as well give yourself the
23601s	opportunity to like another fight right
23602s	uh there's minimal BS
23606s	I might with the sojourn still for
23612s	happy look to end the map pretty quickly
23616s	Li be coming out on adventure or
23618s	thinking about it at least the Zen foru
23620s	oh they do a bit of trolling I like that
23622s	I mean again Zen pretty effective
23624s	against Mar with the damage amplication
23625s	but better against slower constant Ms is
23627s	not particularly slow Li take it down
23631s	early though that's he sang with the
23632s	help of that Discord orbit that is
23634s	disgusting you don't normally see Hanzo
23636s	picking off far folks if that doesn't
23639s	show you what the skill Gap is here then
23640s	I don't know what will yeah I mean
23642s	you're just playing with that Zen around
23643s	the spawn door right know Zen going to
23645s	like dip back into the spawn get a
23647s	volley going come back around the corner
23649s	is not something going to go with long
23651s	term but uh it gets them that first
23653s	fight
23655s	win so let's see if they decide to keep
23657s	the Venture and the sigment the Mak
23659s	looks like they are at the
23662s	moment Li out straight down the stairs
23665s	wait no time du rushing now back
23668s	away bit of disruption maybe hoping to
23670s	force something out of him with that
23672s	moil he can repost on that high
23674s	groundout C's been pretty unhindered so
23677s	far and has pushed through the first
23678s	phase of the map which is the only one
23679s	we're going to
23680s	see he say might have found happy okay
23682s	use as a slide away but pel can finds a
23684s	good connection they might have been
23685s	rail from happy they help to that effect
23687s	they're back away CRA Ru now playing
23689s	around this Sigma have to give ground as
23690s	P be hit those shots yeah and with Lion
23694s	Venture don't really have that uh
23697s	obviously long range capability is yeah
23699s	can't threat yeah you're going to see
23700s	the CI right away you need to threaten
23702s	pelan in this type of scenario
23706s	back to the Cy once more this time
23707s	Pelican is going to have to be a little
23709s	more
23709s	judicious about how he tries to get
23711s	involved in these fights expect the
23713s	longer range Rockets to feature more
23715s	heavily
23717s	now Ultra wants to send them forward
23719s	though here comes off stom is decent pel
23722s	down to half HP and Max is going to make
23723s	use of the grass pel long range poking
23726s	ping but a sound bar means a crazy racu
23728s	want to try and close the F and liar
23730s	doesn't have a beat of his own they're
23731s	going to go for theun Rush instead happy
23733s	caught inside the flux there's no way
23734s	he's surviving that held up in midair
23737s	and blown to smithin Hawk not far behind
23739s	him ultraviolet steps up to try and sto
23741s	things out a little bit longer into the
23742s	background it's going to be Pelican
23743s	struggling Direct Hit there assisted by
23746s	Max job done say crazy raccoon that's a
23748s	quick two map to zero this is lightning
23752s	fast game play yeah once they switched
23755s	over uh to the Cassidy it was pretty
23758s	simple there for craty racon it made
23761s	Pelicans life much harder there up in
23763s	the sky uh nice sound barrier there for
23765s	CH wrong he gets that sound barrier when
23767s	liar is about 80% I use it to push
23770s	around the corner you just need to get
23772s	one with that gravitic flux which they
23774s	connect with happy they take him out H
23777s	that is a quick two here now for
23780s	crazy and also the options for M8
23782s	starting to dwindle a little bit no
23784s	control no escort left in the map pole
23785s	maybe hybrid is the choice you could
23789s	play flasho I mean it's not the kind of
23792s	map that we see you know far in push joh
23794s	especially surasa given how enclosed
23797s	that first flash point some of the
23798s	others are if you're trying to get away
23800s	from that style but it seems like these
23802s	two teams are not so dissimilar in what
23804s	they prefer to play and that does not
23806s	suit M8 who seem to be just a little
23808s	behind in terms of make him use to that
23810s	composition yeah it just seems one to be
23812s	doing it at a completely different level
23814s	at least at the moment and yeah I mean
23816s	like you mentioned what do you decid to
23818s	go to was quite interesting the last
23819s	series right they end up picking the
23822s	hybrid they pick Nani they end up
23823s	drawing buying it so they have to pick a
23825s	push or a flash point I can't exactly
23828s	play for that type of scenario right
23830s	that's too risky Hey Jake was talking
23833s	about the Tactical draws the Tactical
23835s	draw get all love you love your little
23837s	tack draw yeah all right here's your
23838s	highlights not much to speak of on
23840s	Havana folks is has been the theme of
23842s	the series so far the spawn Camp lasted
23844s	for 3 minutes one team spawn camped and
23846s	the other team got spawn Camp that's
23848s	pretty much what we saw here uh once PR
23851s	you know either switches to get around
23854s	that first once they got around the
23855s	first Corner uh it was one fight after
23858s	that I mean playing the ultimate game
23860s	perfectly with that big eye and going to
23862s	work inside Rush slip already a menace
23865s	without argentation from that haste puff
23868s	and at this point you saw the on switch
23869s	over towards the sigma Doom was uh you
23872s	know used there by Max briefly but
23873s	here's that Sigma comp to try and end it
23874s	they caught happy in just the fringes of
23877s	that gravitic flux and Hulk was mostly
23879s	being ignored there right they're able
23880s	to take the soj out of the game it's
23882s	just the far who really needs a longer
23884s	fight to have that impact she's very
23886s	different to Ekko and then Ekko you know
23887s	wants to you know blow all the cool
23889s	Downs try and find an far really wants
23891s	to ramp up over the course of a fight
23893s	and in the quick engagement you can't
23894s	get value I I also feel like uh hav is a
23898s	map that like we see and there a lot
23901s	like we we either see it go we either
23903s	see it be a a PO a hold or we see it go
23906s	all the way to the distance right uh
23908s	it's kind of like eastw famine uh in
23910s	terms of how we see that map end up
23912s	going so uh M80 uh with some options
23916s	here right so uh no control like you
23918s	mentioned uh can't go to escort cuz we
23921s	just saw Havana so you're looking at
23923s	hybrid push or flash point if I if I had
23926s	to guess I think like I mean can we play
23930s	new Queen streets do you want to play
23932s	Rush I mean teams have uh opted really
23936s	to play like either P
23937s	or uh I think like surasa and then maybe
23942s	Midtown right you look at Flash like
23944s	teams definitely have favored surasa
23946s	historically you can bre power on
23947s	Midtown by the way you could do Midtown
23950s	you could do Kings Row Kings Row would
23952s	be uh an interesting one uh you can play
23955s	some Sigma there on first points you can
23957s	play ratra right if you want to kind of
23960s	like say okay those are the two things
23961s	we almost they almost like kind of like
23963s	Banning tanks in a way right where it's
23964s	like okay we're fine with seeing Sigma
23968s	ratra we're fine with seeing you know uh
23970s	a Winston X right so uh that's kind of
23973s	but I think you're probably looking at
23974s	for
23975s	M8 I I would say it's probably something
23978s	out of the hybrid pool yeah I I think
23980s	that the Midtown what about yeah you
23982s	play Kings as well Kings be if you want
23983s	to play yeah you can play Far uh you
23985s	know if that's the style you want as M8
23987s	you can obviously play quite well
23988s	defensively uh with that particular hero
23991s	you can really sort of play around the
23993s	corner try and set a line of sight that
23994s	seems like a decent pck uh you know
23996s	midtown's an odd run because we've seen
23998s	happy pick up the Widow there uh you
24001s	also I mean you pick a hybrid here right
24004s	uh well you know the series extends past
24006s	that they have to pick a push or flash
24008s	point uh there is one flash point out of
24011s	the two that is preferred by you know a
24013s	majority of te you probably would say
24015s	and then there's two out of the three
24017s	pushes that are also kind of majority
24019s	favored by the teams right so like if
24021s	you're M80 you probably pick out of
24023s	hybrid because whether it be surasa uh
24026s	esperansa or coloso that comes up in the
24029s	next Maps you're kind of okay with all
24031s	of those right so uh you're probably
24034s	picking out of the hybrid pool here well
24035s	the issue with M8 is that there's no
24037s	putting crazy raccoon in an
24038s	uncomfortable position I don't think
24040s	they're able to do that their preferred
24042s	comp seem a little too similar yeah
24045s	that's the issue I think like you know
24047s	our very first game of the day the an
24048s	versus Falcons that was a clash of two
24051s	teams that ordered to play very
24052s	differently I don't think there's an
24054s	edge to be found in that regard in this
24055s	game for for M80 that definitely is
24057s	concerning right you actually then you
24059s	have to beat them on a one toone basis
24060s	and as good as hay and pelic can have
24062s	looked domestically the this is an
24064s	international land this is a different
24065s	story and ker racun are a different
24067s	beast but you rarely
24070s	seen uh like I I think it speaks to more
24072s	a level of like crazyer where you've
24074s	never really seen pelicin or happy uh
24076s	you know get like kind of like outd in a
24079s	series you know potentially the like the
24081s	level they are right now and I actually
24082s	don't even think it's like a individual
24084s	like oh they're just kind of getting the
24086s	uh outbeat to it it will be Kings Row so
24088s	this is a a pretty safe selection here
24091s	uh for M80 uh where I think right now
24094s	like you can see just like the the pace
24096s	of the game is just completely favoring
24098s	Crazy R and when the pace is that fast
24101s	uh and you're not you're not up to
24103s	playing at that pace uh things start to
24106s	look like this it can it can snowball
24109s	rather quickly I think like uh know one
24112s	thing I think Jake and probably Johnny
24113s	can speak to better you know than
24115s	probably most is like when you go
24118s	against a team that's like better than
24119s	you the game feels like it's moving like
24121s	twice as fast as it actually is
24123s	sometimes uh where I imagine for crazy
24125s	Ru the game feels at such a normal kind
24128s	of not necessarily slow pace but uh easy
24131s	Pace where from M80 side it's probably
24134s	feeling a little bit frantic that
24135s	there's so much going on at the moment
24136s	to be
24138s	fair f Li this his first live event
24142s	that's crazy to think cuz this guy is
24143s	not a raw you know recruit we're not
24146s	talking about a rookie K this his first
24148s	time on stage playing at the top level
24150s	and you know what happens like that
24151s	first those first couple Maps feel like
24153s	go fast real quick when you get on stage
24156s	cuz like you blink it all of a sudden
24157s	you're in map three it's like oh
24159s	goodness we got to win one to St in the
24160s	series here yeah and you'd like to be
24163s	like all right let's just get like one
24165s	win under your belt right I know uh it
24168s	always feels like getting the first one
24170s	is quite difficult uh even even oddly
24172s	like know sometimes uh I imagine with
24175s	DPS players is the case but like even
24177s	just getting the first kill in a game is
24179s	always like a little bit like okay it
24180s	starts to ease up you know once you kind
24182s	of get a fight going in your way
24184s	uh where just kind of like any swe you
24186s	guys see the ball in the basket gain
24187s	some confidence right like you know
24189s	coming out here this first showing
24191s	especially after kind of sitting around
24193s	all day thinking about this match this
24195s	is like the Marquee match of the day for
24196s	a lot of people uh just kind of the
24198s	pressure starts to
24200s	mount crazy raccoon looking to catapult
24202s	themselves further in his upper bracket
24204s	with a victory on King's Road this is
24207s	the last chance this series unless
24209s	there's a draw which is possible for M8
24212s	to select a and or mode basically
24216s	exhausted all of their lifelines and C
24218s	raccoon are still froing at the mouth
24220s	and they're ready to take the fight to
24221s	King's Ro and hly I actually think M80
24224s	is like better than what they're showing
24227s	so far in this series I think it
24229s	probably just speaks to more the level
24231s	of that that crazy Rec is playing at I I
24235s	think M80 like I would be shocked if
24237s	they had another series kind of blend in
24238s	this
24239s	fashion Sigma selection here for crazy
24242s	raccoon so they going to have to find a
24244s	way to
24245s	unseat our Asia number one seed and
24248s	that's probably going to have to require
24249s	them moving into the low ground and fing
24250s	for that stair control okay they player
24253s	Sigma composition as
24255s	well or notat though still could be
24258s	quite
24259s	slow that's where far starts to matter a
24261s	lot more big shot though on heang I
24263s	think they might have been happy at
24265s	super long
24266s	range so we'll see how decides to play
24270s	this right uh Happy playing the Hanzo so
24273s	some long range ver
24277s	capability do do you even think about
24279s	the sling Max you just try to play on
24280s	the point get him down from that
24282s	position have him trying and play
24284s	directly face on hu the sigma I think
24286s	those are probably the things you're
24288s	talking about right now Hawk will play
24289s	behind his shield on the point yeah
24292s	trying to force him to fight force this
24294s	Sigma composition to challenge the ratra
24296s	that's when he can go Nemesis form but
24297s	the Poke from The Defenders is very good
24300s	Haw is struggling a little bit now put
24301s	to sleep he's hanging more than just to
24303s	contest we have a tick here though
24305s	already for M8 so this is good slow
24307s	progress but progress all the same for
24310s	the
24310s	attackers yeah Max know continually
24313s	going down to half HP it's going to be
24315s	very difficult for him to kind of like
24316s	play on the point I don't really have
24317s	anybody else to go down there contest
24319s	Bion there no connection for Shu might
24321s	Hawk already taken down regardless so
24324s	that D now have they' lost their key
24326s	piece to to threaten a capture they've
24329s	got nothing left to work with here yeah
24331s	they do get a TI out of that right so uh
24333s	53% but one full tick as he will build
24337s	up towards a barrage here so you do get
24340s	a little bit of progress It's going to
24341s	consistently put pressure on Max to drop
24344s	down touch the points if Hawk's going to
24346s	play from that position so happy will
24348s	switch from Hanzo over the so so uh able
24352s	to kind of like build up towards those
24353s	rail shots maybe you can put even more
24355s	pressure on the max once she drops down
24358s	takes a big shot disruptor should also
24360s	represents some good heal pressure if
24362s	your opponents are playing close to
24363s	together inside those
24364s	corridors here it is oh Hawk moves up
24366s	once more and Matrix Now set up for M80
24368s	they're serious about the point at the
24371s	moment he's hang as to dump altitude and
24373s	play inside the hotel but here he comes
24375s	he's challenging that and he knocks
24376s	everybody away from the air Matrix now
24378s	M8 can't make use of it he SES Force
24381s	back a little bit with that Nano boost
24382s	means he can play that much more
24383s	aggressively he can take that many more
24385s	risks and that was one facing happy down
24388s	with a rail gun you got to be a little
24390s	bit different to DARE try that here
24394s	flux it catches three though Li is more
24395s	than happy to dispense with the ultimate
24397s	to keep M nice and healthy but happy
24399s	gets caught with a bonade goes low Bri
24401s	fet Max plays back around the corner and
24403s	he's sing still very healthy with a
24405s	barrage yeah rally in place though if
24407s	that if they start to get aggressive
24408s	this will be the rally the imortality
24410s	field keeps off the line does get hit
24412s	with that biotic grenade though that
24413s	might be time to go just a tight angle
24415s	there FIP to get some good damage and
24416s	finish off Pelin how does he find that
24418s	shot Happ the has to back up there's
24420s	nothing to do here for M80 now that Li
24422s	and pelican unless happy has something
24424s	to say there's a fight here HK wants to
24426s	come in he's going for the annihilation
24427s	but he's put to sleep allowing Max to
24429s	slink away to heal back up but M8 have
24432s	the numbers and the spawn Advantage
24433s	they're going to go for even more M HK
24435s	charges up it's going to be the vortex
24437s	now creating some space and getting him
24439s	closer to that second tick raccoon n
24442s	boost for here not far away from it
24444s	switching over towards the K now they
24445s	want to the Lost Max already and that'll
24447s	be that M80 has to dig deep but they're
24450s	in the game yeah the KN on the
24452s	concussion there from Pelican ends up
24455s	keeping Max from getting over towards
24457s	that point doesn't send it into OT they
24459s	don't end up using the Nano there so
24462s	that's at least fortunate there for
24463s	crazy raccoon but M8 gets on the board
24466s	Cho honor here for crazy raccoon because
24469s	a slower comp from M80 they're less
24471s	worried about being picked up
24472s	individually or run
24474s	down fair enough and now an echo here in
24477s	favor of a far so uh far pick has been
24482s	uh pretty consistent
24484s	live huge great sleeve pelicano could be
24487s	a problem they don't have the
24490s	immortality to keep Shu alive so he
24492s	Falls Pelican gets a aggressive barrage
24494s	has himself traded out and even he gets
24496s	aous elimination on liar the sticky bomb
24498s	is finally a mark have left the C it's
24502s	it's the reverse keer [ __ ] a b everybody
24506s	leaves your free period down but is that
24508s	what we call it now yeah yeah the the
24511s	reverse kepster
24514s	I we're going to leave that there I
24519s	think ging around the corner now Midway
24521s	through the second phase of the map and8
24523s	a generous 2 minutes to play with but
24525s	they're going about to run into a wall
24527s	of ultimates yeah Rush should be huge
24529s	here uh and it's a shame frame 80 right
24531s	you would love the annihilation for this
24533s	consuming Rush not exactly counter you
24535s	know that ra puts down a ton of damage
24538s	as they're inside of it that's another
24539s	clock there from Happy tono seems
24541s	utterly uncured for the time being happy
24543s	forced away off the angle can't make the
24545s	shots here he's saying maybe too much of
24547s	a threat H goes low have to throw up the
24549s	Dukes there he's building towards yet
24551s	another Annihilation that was
24552s	instrumental in that point a t happy
24555s	stuck with the Mad grenade can't come
24556s	forward ton pretty safe in The High
24558s	Ground defensing that healing by the oor
24560s	there is Shu throws in a bio it catches
24562s	H can they pick him off before
24563s	Annihilation comes in that's a win
24566s	condition but they can't get the ratra
24568s	yet liar holds onto his sound Barry
24569s	until oh no first eight jacks off the
24574s	major had to be liar and all of a sudden
24577s	M8 get
24580s	unraveled build the stuff that's a dup
24583s	there into an overclock and then lands
24586s	the shot on the liar as he's going up
24589s	for that sound barrier is uh it is just
24592s	not m80's day right now
24595s	is in
24597s	control Nano boost available here you
24599s	can Nano you can Nano the echo right
24601s	like he play extremely aggressive if you
24605s	want waiting for the C now to move up H
24609s	this is just a space creation Tong
24611s	reluctant to give it up he'll have no
24613s	choice now with all the utility being
24615s	deployed oh my God the how he done that
24618s	look where he's standing it's just full
24619s	range that's Cassidy versus so getting
24622s	owned at his Optimum range against
24624s	Cassidy he doesn't miss he just doesn't
24627s	slides away couple of uncharacteristic
24630s	misconnections there it still it is
24632s	alive and well well he can't say the
24634s	same for his foes 10 seconds left in the
24636s	round now Ultra morality field
24638s	Annihilation and best for play here for
24640s	M80 they bring Haw down the dead ey more
24644s	than enough to deal with him and and a
24648s	ground to a halt here in the second
24650s	phase of the
24651s	map they do end up uh you know getting
24654s	first point though right uh you know
24656s	making their way uh pretty far down
24659s	towards way down making their way moving
24662s	fast yeah
24663s	uh so that is the uh probably best
24665s	showing that we've had from throughout
24667s	the series right so you starting to feel
24668s	like they're coming alive a little bit
24670s	and and know now maybe on defense like
24672s	playing that Sigma up on The High Ground
24674s	maybe if that's what they decide to go
24676s	with uh they could give crazy raccoon
24678s	some trouble
24680s	here that being said with crazy raccoon
24683s	defending him first and doing a pretty
24685s	bang up job of it it might end up being
24688s	a quick map if they can snowball an
24689s	early advantage on the attacking side
24693s	battle don't get too excited about the
24696s	hover right now for the raccoons but for
24697s	M80 you can start to read into their
24699s	strategy a little bit here we've seen
24701s	for like we know get a get a far swap
24703s	there and uh we've seen best earlier on
24706s	yeah I think it's valid here in the same
24709s	way uh and maybe so uh wholesale changes
24713s	here as they get ready to come out of
24715s	Spawn so hovering maybe something rra
24718s	but they will play a MAA based
24719s	composition Pelican on the Tracer here
24722s	so that's is a side know an awesome site
24724s	to see is a pelan a fantastic Tracer
24726s	player so this Le you believe like if
24728s	they think that there's going to be know
24730s	maybe some dive on the other side their
24733s	traits are pretty decent like far more
24734s	against eeko so give little bit of
24737s	option they are diving
24740s	folks C with the win composition Li also
24744s	on the adventure I mean it's hard to
24747s	find a bit of DPS to combine with the
24748s	impact of Winston diving on in a besides
24751s	in fact that it's Cassidy
24753s	good pressure against the
24756s	Tracer and anyone else who apparently
24758s	shows himself on his
24762s	screen all you hear when you watch his
24764s	screen is just a head shot noise as that
24766s	that's a head shot there across map
24768s	there on CH okay so just the one pick
24771s	but it is the Lucio so that does mean Li
24774s	can return to the fight rather
24777s	quickly not the worst for M80 they don't
24780s	need to disengage anyone they don't need
24782s	the speed run now
24784s	anyway best case scenario yeah but how
24787s	do you feel about this dive into the mar
24789s	that's right like yeah you almost have
24793s	it's kind of bait right you focus that
24795s	but the better than Cal with the that's
24799s	important can use The High Ground much
24800s	better than the
24803s	cowboy here from the hotel TR come to
24806s	see what one he threatens to flank here
24808s	playing this off bin Here Comes Max a
24810s	glancing blow comes in from a rail gun
24812s	yeah making Max think twice about fully
24814s	engaging that's cardiac overdrive though
24816s	and they get out and you're going to
24817s	build up Nan so this might be an
24819s	opportunity here blade plus Nano no on
24822s	the other side you have an opportunity
24823s	to go there a nano blade this is
24825s	dangerous liar didn't have a beat but
24827s	even if he did it probably would have
24828s	been cut
24829s	short getting happy and Li he's saying
24832s	it's more than done his job here one tip
24834s	now coming up for M8 and more to follow
24836s	Sur it may have no choice but to
24839s	disengage as crazy raccoon pile on the
24841s	pressure yeah yeah when you notice they
24843s	put tons of pressure on as soon as they
24845s	see obviously know Max is quite low but
24849s	as soon as cardiac overdrive comes out
24851s	they go up to The High Ground they avoid
24853s	that marker for a brief period of time
24855s	blade plus Nano they drop on down and
24858s	you can take advantage that window no
24859s	sound bar on the other side not even
24862s	close coming up rco
24865s	here deflected he s barely able to get
24867s	to safety but is instantly popped up by
24870s	shuu is waiting t
24874s	on the rear end off is
24877s	Genji I I feel like L becomes even more
24880s	effective right here in this part of the
24882s	map it's like a better sight line
24884s	effective range for the C pel can't
24886s	creep up on you though without exposing
24888s	uh to Cy so that's to bear in mind
24891s	here's the beat here's the dive good
24892s	little boot back from Li a little bit of
24894s	space but I don't know if it's enough Li
24896s	is so close to beat he's so close but he
24899s	might have an opportunity to make use of
24900s	it fully he gets it oh he's down down
24902s	with ultimate oh that hurts so badly for
24905s	M80 they had to make their stance here
24908s	but it didn't line up for them they
24910s	couldn't get their loci old online and
24912s	now they're getting T limb Dr
24914s	limb yeah I mean you don't get to use to
24916s	that sound bar there that's uh pretty
24919s	brutal considering they just push right
24921s	on through with a nano and that is a
24923s	cage fight
24927s	there not going to result in much with
24930s	anything I think he actually just kind
24931s	to used it leaving he catch a player in
24933s	there some players off a spawn come on
24935s	through now the do switch just to make
24937s	it back oh no came out okay to get rid
24940s	that ultim liar finds the beat that buys
24942s	enough time for pelic get the job done
24944s	on sh no harm no foul M8 actually able
24947s	to stay in the game that LE UL carried
24950s	over to this fight but it feels like in
24953s	the state of
24955s	execution like a three player biotic
24958s	grenade there as well happy get bio not
24961s	able to get finish here still almost 3
24965s	minutes on the clock here you know 2:30
24968s	right uh and M80 had to make some
24971s	changes just to make it
24973s	half 2 minutes 30 on the clock here
24975s	foron to end the series hey M diing
24980s	their he in or rather hanging on the
24982s	Cliff face by nothing but their
24984s	fingernails here's the pressure Haw with
24986s	that oh yeah the M grenade would have
24989s	got out Li D instantly up in midair have
24991s	to use the dead ey for reloaded nothing
24993s	more because he wants to move up W
24995s	gaming for Li and liar has no choice but
24998s	to try and stall po bom H Pelican
25001s	apparently not the way he want this one
25004s	to
25005s	end the apack number one Squad is the
25009s	dominance of a North America second
25012s	seed crazy raccoon are the Titans they
25015s	were feared to be I mean that is a
25017s	impressive performance there from crazy
25021s	raccoons I mean m i i I think they're
25024s	going to be a team that's going to be
25025s	around in this tournament I know
25027s	throughout the weekend it would be
25028s	shocked to see them know go uh to and
25031s	done uh but man I I I think that is just
25035s	such a crazy performance there from
25037s	Crazy R they definitely uh cemented that
25040s	they are the team to beat here this
25042s	weekend we heard so many whiskers about
25045s	scrim results and rumors and stuff it's
25047s	always like this it's fun I like how the
25048s	rumor mill churns for for an orts event
25051s	but this is why we usually stay on hand
25053s	when it comes to judgment before teams
25056s	like this take to the stage cuz now we
25058s	know they're more than just the real
25061s	deal there's a question of who can
25063s	really challenge this team we've not
25065s	seen a number one uh you know seeds from
25067s	other a North American or our EMA region
25069s	so you know if you are a fan of either
25072s	of those squads keep hope but I think
25074s	APAC again is you know demonstrating
25076s	that they are very very frightening they
25078s	are very very tight very talented and
25081s	they don't get rattled by being up on
25082s	the stage yeah I mean it would be
25084s	awesome to see Toronto Toronto Toronto
25086s	give them a shout I mean always down to
25089s	see uh MERS lip matchup right in terms
25092s	of uh know the damage dealers so I think
25094s	that would be one that is uh know one
25096s	that I think a lot of people want to see
25098s	yeah and definitely and it's it's one
25099s	we're definitely going to be in for if
25101s	the trajectory of these sa pack teams
25103s	continues the way it has been pretty
25105s	dominant stuff here you know 30 series
25108s	in which we saw un able to pick a map
25110s	that suited them to remotely enough for
25112s	degree to show some signs of fight and
25115s	we've often seen this in in OverWatch
25117s	where if your style is similar to your
25119s	opponent's you know and you can't
25120s	counterpick them you end up having a
25122s	really similar take it really comes down
25124s	to just the raw strength of that team
25125s	speaking of raw strength raw height look
25128s	at that 102 gaming warlord on stage here
25130s	with Danny Lim who is a big guy but
25132s	looks like a a nutcracker doll by
25134s	comparison let's head over and hear
25137s	from thank you guys I'm standing next to
25140s	the seven foot are you seven foot 6 foot
25143s	6' five I'm just going to say six fo 6'
25145s	five you're really really tall a gaming
25147s	warlord lit from crazy raccoons uh for
25150s	postmatch
25152s	interview all right my first question I
25154s	got to bring this back uh backstage me
25156s	Pelican and you were talking and Pelican
25158s	was like Hey we're going to take you
25159s	guys down that did not happen so uh what
25161s	did you guys what did you think about
25162s	the match and what do you have to say to
25164s	what do you have to say to a pelican
25185s	[Music]
25192s	I mean backstage when I mean me and
25193s	pelicon are super close um you know it
25195s	was it didn't really feel good when he
25196s	said that but um you know we going into
25198s	the match we knew that M80 was probably
25200s	one of the weakest teams in the N na
25202s	region
25203s	um so I did really didn't really mind at
25205s	all coming into the match all right um
25207s	you guys had a really dominant
25209s	performance today against M80 lip do you
25211s	feel like there's any team in Dallas
25213s	currently that could come close uh to
25215s	your I guess performance level
25220s	[Music]
25236s	uh all the other teams that are sort of
25238s	in the upper tier are about the same but
25240s	compared to us I don't think any team uh
25243s	comes close to the crazy raccoons all
25245s	right that is it for the interview livep
25246s	thank you so much soe back to
25249s	you thank you so much Danny and lip
25252s	congratulations to Crazy raccoon they're
25254s	moving on in the upper bracket not the
25257s	biggest surprise here obviously they
25258s	were expected to be the favorite heading
25261s	into this very series that said I did
25264s	want hoped expected maybe to see a
25268s	little bit more from M80 all right
25270s	because obviously they're they're a very
25273s	talented Ruster but looking at the
25274s	compositions we did get to see different
25276s	looks from both of those teams um Johnny
25279s	you disagreed with one of some of the
25281s	swaps some of the looks we did get to
25283s	see from uh M8 so so hit me up what when
25286s	I think M8 coming into this series they
25288s	looked a little bit unprepared and there
25290s	were some hero swaps but I think were
25291s	either a bit delayed I just didn't
25293s	really agree with I mean rolling out on
25295s	Diva it's pretty difficult hero to come
25297s	out and play with because in the tank
25298s	matchup there are so many tank matchups
25300s	that you're not really comfortable I
25301s	think we've seen from our first two
25303s	series both here ends but now also M8
25306s	that you can't really afford to play
25308s	these slower Heroes into the MAA because
25310s	they get into the backline and we saw
25311s	several times happy ultraviolent on the
25314s	batist and the Cassidy like they were
25315s	just caught of guard and really abused
25317s	by this MAA overun right and also I
25320s	think happy maybe you don't can't afford
25322s	to stick on this souljour because heang
25324s	just has the time of his life playing
25326s	the far here on EKU you can kind of like
25328s	Get Away With It on King's Row right
25329s	because of this close quars but I would
25331s	like to see happy baby play a bit more
25333s	Cassidy to help dealing with that far
25335s	because otherwise heang just has a field
25336s	day right so I think there's a lot of
25338s	lessons to be learned here I'm not
25340s	necessarily saying I have the right ones
25341s	but for M I do feel like they came into
25343s	this series maybe looking a little bit
25345s	unprepared Jake And now when you're
25347s	going into the lower bracket you got to
25348s	fix some of this stuff up to remain in
25350s	the tournament going into tomorrow you
25352s	know like you said I don't agree with
25354s	everything you said Johnny but I think
25355s	overall the the arching theme that like
25357s	trying to play these slow tempo Styles
25359s	it's possible to beat the malga that way
25361s	but I think you need a lot of conditions
25363s	we saw it sometimes we saw ends have
25365s	success on nabani third Point High
25367s	ground but you need a lot of conditions
25368s	you need a lot of open space you need
25370s	High Ground you need an effective way to
25372s	contest the point where your supports
25373s	can't be caught by MAA that's just not
25376s	repeatable on many Maps many situations
25378s	and in the end there was just a huge
25380s	Tempo gap between these teams crazy
25381s	raccoon constantly rushing in first
25384s	initiating the moment there's any kind
25385s	of slip up from n80 positionally
25387s	supports caught out and they just get
25389s	wiped from the server in in seconds one
25391s	tiny little mistake and you just get
25393s	shredded I think mostly what we saw here
25394s	is a huge gap in terms of execution
25396s	level between these teams that you know
25398s	you leave your support hanging for just
25399s	a second they're going to instantly
25401s	punish you and I don't think M8 has
25402s	faced a team ever in their history
25404s	that's this strong that's this
25405s	aggressive this competitive and I think
25407s	fzy raccoon has laid their Mark as the
25408s	tournament favorite with a with a
25410s	performance like this I mean this was an
25411s	absolute beat down a a team in M who I
25414s	expected to be competitive I mean I I
25416s	expected I didn't think honestly though
25418s	I think they will look a l more
25419s	competitive facing off against the
25421s	majority of other teams we have here in
25424s	this tournament but yeah quite frankly
25426s	crazy raccoon obviously they are it
25430s	almost seems like a league Above the
25432s	Rest here they were in control of that
25434s	Tempo threat the entirety of that match
25436s	and it showed in those numbers at the
25437s	very end not much light at the end of
25439s	the tunnel there for M80 they're not out
25440s	yet we are playing in a double el el
25443s	elimination bracket there I got there in
25445s	the end uh one of the players however
25448s	before we moving on to our next one uh
25450s	that stood Above the Rest and that's not
25452s	just because of his height is of course
25455s	lip and that's why he got himself the
25456s	Porche performance of the match I mean
25460s	lip just such a phenomenal player it's
25463s	so hard to keep up with someone like
25465s	that on that server it was just an
25467s	incredibly impressive performance I mean
25469s	constantly he's just swinging these
25470s	angles so so confident so so aggressive
25472s	there's times where he gets caught and
25474s	punished but he never loses confidence
25476s	he just keeps on pushing you and that's
25478s	just in fitting with the rest of his
25479s	team style and that level of aggression
25481s	you might stop him once or twice but he
25483s	just keeps coming and he finds all of
25485s	those little tiny cracks in your team's
25487s	defense tiny little openings and he just
25489s	rips it open you leave this guy alive to
25491s	the end of the fight you better believe
25492s	he's cleaning everybody up on the server
25494s	so definitely I think I think it's fair
25496s	to say the best hit skin in the world I
25497s	think anyone else needs to fight him for
25499s	that title you know even players like
25501s	merid and happy who I I think are
25502s	incredible I think lip right now is
25505s	number one and someone's got to take
25506s	that title from him I think he it's his
25508s	title to lose really yeah I it was all
25510s	about the tiny openings you can see here
25512s	on cidy like the way he's able to find
25513s	these pcks Pelican had no business
25516s	playing this far and just couldn't get
25517s	away with it couldn't get into the right
25519s	positioning and really play behind cover
25521s	to stay alive long enough because lip
25522s	would find these picks rly even happier
25524s	at times would just be caught right by
25526s	mispositioning because lip just had the
25528s	angles on him and I was so efficient
25530s	with this city so really Prive serious
25532s	by Li I agree he's the best hit scan
25534s	player in the world and you know you got
25535s	to really take it to him to earn that
25537s	title from him I mean I think a lot of
25538s	those picks on Happy are just like long
25540s	range two tap head shots I mean it's
25542s	like really really hard to play against
25545s	that you can't not take any risk as the
25547s	opponent hits SC especially soj you've
25549s	got to swing you've got to charge that
25550s	Rail and if the enemy Cassy takes even a
25552s	few seconds to finish you you'll get
25554s	that rail charged on MAA you find an
25556s	opportunity to fire back but I mean if
25557s	he's just deleting you from the server
25559s	that quick there's no opportunity to
25560s	respond and yeah he might be right maybe
25562s	you just have to match the Cassidy but
25564s	can you match his skill that's that's a
25565s	tough task yeah I mean that's something
25567s	that the the casters have been
25568s	discussing as well right if you can't
25570s	match them at their own game you have to
25573s	throw something else at them alas uh it
25575s	would not do against them for this very
25578s	round that means that crazy raccoon are
25580s	moving on three and zero the biggest
25582s	beat that we had thus far they're
25583s	finding themselves in the upper bracket
25585s	still where they will be going up
25587s	against a Toronto Define next now uh of
25590s	course the Toronto uh and Twisted Minds
25592s	game that did happen on our second
25595s	stream that also was one of the quicker
25598s	serieses and that means that now we have
25600s	four teams that finding themselves at
25601s	the brink of elimination and guess what
25605s	we will be saying goodbye to two teams
25607s	already today as we will be finishing
25609s	out that lower bracket first round uh
25613s	I'm going to be very excited to see uh
25615s	more different looks of course we didn't
25617s	get to see all the teams playing on the
25618s	main stage we also uh might be iner some
25622s	closer matches here yeah I'll bring the
25625s	hopium Zoe don't worry about Jake I'll
25627s	bring the hopium closer matches on the
25629s	way maybe not the last one but the next
25631s	one for sure maybe that one for sure
25632s	that one's that one's it that one's it
25634s	it's got to be it let's see what ends
25636s	and energy have in store for us one of
25638s	the teams will be moving on the other
25640s	one will be eliminated already after day
25643s	one here in Dallas Texas all of that and
25647s	more coming after a quick break don't go
25649s	anywhere

25845s	side of
25846s	Petra me and the white finders just
25848s	found the coolest artifact I think I've
25850s	ever again come
25854s	on whoa whoa
25857s	whoa if you want to mess with these
25859s	artifacts you got to go through me
25865s	hey I'm on you i' got to tell you I want
25868s	to scream it
25870s	[Music]
25871s	out I'm going to show you
25876s	it's
25885s	you rock
25889s	roll oh my I just can't believe
25908s	my excavation
25912s	initiation time to really drill it in oh
25916s	my I just can't believe my heart we did
25919s	it we had a party or
25925s	[Applause]
25930s	what wao no
25934s	[Music]
25939s	way
25941s	hi or hi Heroes has some of us would say
25944s	is that how
25946s	you address the audience I love that I
25949s	do love that for them for us for
25951s	everyone watching we have more games
25953s	coming our way too in fact as we're
25955s	fighting our way through Dela bracket
25957s	two teams will go home two will be
25959s	moving on and continue to fight for
25960s	their life in our lower bracket uh
25964s	something we haven't done today is FRS
25967s	we haven't we haven't been long yet
25969s	you're so excited about I am excited
25971s	about it let's take a look at the games
25972s	that have already happened and then we
25974s	once more take a quick Lans at the lower
25976s	bracket as well to see where we are
25978s	heading here um Honestly though it would
25981s	have probably prob been a teeny tiny bit
25983s	boring to do PRS I I feel like most of
25986s	it has unfolded the way most people
25988s	would have expected I would have gone
25989s	all those rights yeah I mean there's a
25991s	reason there's a reason these are the
25992s	first matchups right the first round
25994s	matchups are high seed versus low seeds
25996s	you know it's how it's it's how it's
25998s	going to be right your advantage being a
26000s	high seed is you get a relatively easier
26002s	match one and so I think the more
26004s	competitive matches naturally are going
26005s	to come a little bit later into the
26007s	tournament yeah and I mean uh having our
26009s	eye here on that energy and ends match I
26012s	think this most likely has the most
26014s	potential today to be a closer game I'm
26017s	actually very excited for that one M80
26019s	versus Twisted mind I mean M8 is going
26021s	to look good in this one uh they're not
26023s	going to end the day on on a sad note I
26027s	do not think however first things first
26030s	uh let's talk about energy obviously
26032s	coming in with a big surprise they are
26034s	now energy and no more no more so hours
26038s	on that stage but why can't we have both
26040s	if we can have both that's true although
26043s	yeah it's great to
26046s	see they're serving their these guys
26049s	have been a ton of fun to watch I think
26050s	infected PGE scissors Cal rack all
26054s	incredible up and cominging players in
26055s	na so it's awesome to see them repping
26058s	NRG shock here in Dallas Atlant they
26061s	have some very stiff compettion ahead of
26063s	them but this is a team that has run
26064s	some very Innovative looks right we saw
26066s	them playing the life waver on the B
26068s	scam very Innovative Midtown defense
26070s	strategy almost was able to take it to
26071s	space station there on that map but they
26073s	brought a ton of different looks they
26074s	had the dive they had the Sig poke
26076s	playing Rush as well so they can handle
26078s	all of these comps and so far from ends
26080s	we have for the most part only seen one
26082s	look with the Poke style I I think
26084s	there's an opening here for NRG to
26086s	exploit this I know they're not as
26087s	strong of a team as Falcons but they
26088s	still have an opportunity to find some
26090s	strategic Edge in the series yeah I mean
26092s	I don't want to like overhype it in some
26093s	way but in fact that in some ways is
26095s	walking in the footsteps of super in
26097s	that he's a North American Tank who is
26098s	really flexible and mechanically skilled
26100s	and can play so many different Heroes
26102s	and that is a card you now have to abuse
26104s	in this series because you know that
26105s	ends with theola they're going to play a
26107s	lot of Sigma I think that is their key
26109s	to success still and so now if your
26111s	energy shock maybe you can play around
26112s	that put yourself in some situations
26114s	where maybe you feel like you have an
26115s	advantage and they haven't shied away
26117s	from picking you know Wrecking Ball and
26118s	stuff like that in the past right not
26120s	sure I will see Wrecking Ball per se but
26122s	I'm just saying that the door is open
26124s	for a lot of different tank things
26125s	manifested do you want to see I want to
26128s	see all kinds of tank Heroes I saw how
26131s	they played rinard on the B stream I
26133s	didn't there was no surprise there
26135s	whatsoever I'm just saying I want to see
26137s	as many tanks as possible bring the
26138s	doomfist out even yep very very very
26141s	quick glance at doomfist uh we did have
26144s	to swap over after just one round but
26145s	you know it did happen let's take a look
26147s	at the opposition here though ends we've
26149s	already seen them on stage of course
26150s	both teams have already lost their first
26152s	Opening match this one should be a
26154s	little closer uh in in terms of
26156s	competition and lots of very very
26160s	well-known players here on the team yeah
26162s	I mean we got to talk about Kai and
26163s	kevster on the DPS role just Monster
26165s	performers Kai very very effective
26167s	consistent hit scan player kevster
26169s	brings the heat on absolutely everything
26171s	I think one of the best players in the
26172s	world on TPS certainly one of the best
26174s	players outside Korea I don't think
26176s	that's even a question maybe maybe
26177s	number one outside of Korea I think he's
26179s	he's definitely a very very serious
26180s	Contender for that spot uh but then
26183s	across the board they have a lot of
26184s	strong performers I think ghost is an
26185s	exciting player to watch as he continues
26187s	to grow into his role on the team and
26190s	Masa he's been around the block times an
26192s	experienced Lucio player a veteran
26194s	presence on the team which I think
26195s	brings a lot of stability Vesta he might
26198s	be playing for the most part RAM and
26199s	sigma but he's incredibly talented on
26201s	those Heroes I mean even in the Falcon
26203s	series he was pulling out some nasty he
26205s	pulled the flux onto his own head for
26207s	the enemy B to break kill the B on his
26209s	own head so you can't lamp yourself I
26211s	mean that's some Elite level Sigma stuff
26213s	you don't see that every day I'm I'm
26216s	excited I'm excited to see both of these
26218s	teams going at it on the server I'm also
26220s	excited to hear a predictions in just a
26223s	little bit I feel like one of us is
26226s	going to is going to go places with this
26228s	one if if I had to make a guess you're
26232s	usually you're usually the one swimming
26233s	against I us go places I go all kinds of
26236s	places yeah but in this one I don't even
26239s	think I have a particularly hot take in
26240s	this one so we'll see when we get to the
26241s	PRS but it is a pretty even matchup we
26243s	don't really know how these teams Fair
26245s	because of course we haven't se the
26246s	regions Clash prior to dream ma Dallas
26248s	right and so we don't really know how
26250s	energy show compares to ends it really
26252s	is a guessing game and what we've seen
26254s	so far in their upper bracket matches
26255s	when it comes to compositions right so
26257s	no clue for this one we're actually
26259s	already taking a look here at uh some of
26261s	your PRS so uh oh they disappear if you
26264s	saw it you saw it you missed it got to
26267s	rewind yeah it got to be yeah you snooze
26270s	you lose that that's how it goes I no I
26272s	I do think like no prediction here will
26274s	be too crazy because as you said we
26276s	haven't seen those teams face up against
26278s	each other the first look we got from
26280s	both of those team teams uh quite
26282s	frankly I mean they they they were kind
26284s	they were kind of punching upwards right
26286s	this one I expect it to be more evenly
26288s	matched
26289s	however I still have to go with I I'm
26293s	I'm going with ends here and I do think
26295s	it it may be a 3 31 I give it a 31 wow
26299s	we're getting Bo I know I tried to say
26302s	quietly but I have a mic in front of my
26303s	mouth so that didn't really work out for
26305s	me did it what about you CH for me I
26307s	mean I think N is a great team I think
26309s	they've got a lot of experience a lot of
26310s	presence they bring a lot of strategies
26312s	out on this server but today I I went
26314s	with NRG I think they've got exactly the
26316s	tools they need to get this win I think
26318s	I think scissors is going to be an
26319s	exciting player to watch he's been great
26321s	on the Tracer all season long what we've
26322s	expected to see out of your Flex DPS
26324s	player but I think Genji and Ekko are
26326s	even more solid heroes in his pool that
26328s	could be really really effective against
26329s	the sigma I think infected is extremely
26331s	comfortable on the Winston and so I
26333s	think a very fast aggressive dive put
26335s	Cal in a position whether it's the KIRO
26337s	whether it's the Anna to be finding his
26339s	own impact finding oh like Zone kills in
26342s	the server I think this could be
26343s	actually a really winnable match up for
26345s	NRG one that potentially allows them to
26347s	have the Strategic Edge over veteran
26349s	players like Kai and kevster yeah
26351s	sisters is cool but you know NS has
26352s	kevster so that's that's super cool I
26355s	don't think it's a surprised I'm going
26356s	with NS in this one really because I do
26358s	think that they're so specialized on
26359s	their compositions Kai and kevster is a
26361s	fantastic damage Duo and as much as
26363s	energy shock have so much talent so much
26367s	potential I don't think it's quite the
26369s	their moment to shine just yet here in
26371s	this elimination match it has to be said
26373s	you know loser G homes in this one so I
26375s	think G is going to be fired up I think
26376s	they'll be composed of course Masa tons
26378s	of Veteran experience on the stage
26380s	played in an OverWatch League Grand
26381s	finals in 2021 of course so lots of
26384s	experience under the belt um and I think
26385s	the N ESP Sports has this one yeah I
26387s	mean there is a lot to be said about
26388s	that right uh where the stakes are so
26390s	high we are looking at the youngest
26393s	roster uh on on one side here versus
26396s	veteran players they know how to keep
26398s	calm in those situations let's see if
26400s	the new
26401s	are going to crumble under the pressure
26403s	or maybe just Excel I I if I had to if I
26406s	had to make a guess I feel like there
26408s	were a lot like a lot of energy fans in
26411s	the crowd am I am I wrong where are the
26413s	energy
26415s	fans there's some energy fans I mean we
26418s	got boo all right like that that's where
26420s	we at okay how about the other side ANS
26422s	any
26423s	answers okay there are some in there an
26426s	energy favorite crowd here there's no
26428s	question about it yeah know definitely
26430s	energy favorite I mean for good reason
26432s	but you have so many great players on
26433s	both of these sides it can go either way
26437s	however the only way to find out how it
26440s	will go is of course to play the match
26442s	so we are ready teams are ready let's
26444s	bring him
26445s	out dream M Dallas put your hands
26448s	together for
26453s	NRG the Underdog Story from North
26455s	America First we've got to talk about
26457s	this team's raw Aura starting with PGE
26460s	on the hit fan he's been a fan favorite
26462s	since day one for this roster scissors
26464s	as well following in following up with
26466s	any kind of hero the team needs infected
26468s	the flexible tank Young Gun on the
26470s	server a lot of pressure for these guys
26472s	playing their first land playing for
26474s	many of them their first opportunity to
26476s	play in front of the crowd I think the
26478s	crowd has to be the six man you've got
26479s	to get behind this team and show them
26481s	your support when they make plays let
26482s	them know how you feel about it that's
26484s	going to be
26486s	key and their opponents everybody give
26489s	it up forever
26494s	easy for M as they say I mean this is a
26496s	veteran roster and look they're going to
26498s	come in calm compos no need for
26502s	Unnecessary energy in this one tons of
26504s	stars out the T of course besta have
26506s	competed in a World Cup finals keer who
26508s	earned his name in the OverWatch league
26510s	and Masa like I said he's played in an
26512s	OverWatch League Grand finals before
26513s	they're accustomed to this kind of
26514s	pressure on this stage and now going
26516s	into a lower bracket round facing
26518s	elimination I have no doubt in my mind
26520s	they're going to be calm and ready to
26521s	take this one on the Young Guns going up
26524s	against the veterans one team will go
26527s	home the other one will be moving on
26529s	let's find out who it's going to be and
26531s	for all the action we send it over to
26533s	miss Rex and
26535s	Mitch thank you very much soe uh it was
26537s	Kai that said in the interview we did
26539s	with his n he said I'd be interested to
26541s	see I got the old version I'm so sagy
26544s	I'm so sagy this is like something I
26545s	would wear yeah I have inspired this
26547s	jersey design yeah I was like oh man I
26549s	have a button down now yeah you look
26551s	like Uncle Tito at the bowling alley
26554s	it's a great look yeah funny cuz the
26556s	story behind this is I don't know people
26558s	know this you actually actually you
26559s	actually funded the well well I said it
26561s	on the broadcast like you funed the
26563s	students I got they going have to yeah
26565s	yeah CU yeah you said if they qualified
26567s	you their got my name on it I got to get
26569s	one of the NRG ones though got how about
26571s	that how
26572s	about that's right we need to get one of
26574s	those new I got I got the floor model
26575s	they got got the highend whichever way
26578s	you s it slice it rather exciting news
26582s	but let's get ahead of ourselves they
26584s	are the number three SE from America
26586s	they are going up against an who already
26588s	shown themselves to be pretty strong da
26590s	to go up against Falcons though and N
26592s	did not look that great either so
26594s	there's a real opportunity here for what
26595s	would be an upset that is for NRG to
26597s	take a win here they're young and
26599s	they're hungry and they getting trash
26601s	talked a little bit by this end team I
26603s	think Kai said I want to see if they can
26604s	even win a map that's some big talk and
26606s	now he's able to back it up look I I
26608s	don't know how many teams would have put
26610s	together a great performance against
26611s	Falcons right so I don't know if you can
26613s	really hold that against an uh NRG right
26616s	they go up against a really tough team
26617s	in terms of uh SSG so uh I I don't know
26621s	how much you take from either of those I
26622s	think there is a little bit of you know
26624s	for INS maybe there's uh not as much
26627s	respect on the other side of the stage
26628s	right is that I know they kind of came
26630s	in they're like oh we'll see if you know
26632s	at the time s so NRG now even takes a
26635s	game uh now they find uh them against
26638s	them uh for their tournament
26642s	is RG even Scrappy they've got
26643s	incredible I I look I I think effect is
26645s	really impactful player with a very deep
26648s	hero pole someone I have my eye on this
26649s	series there's awesome upside for these
26651s	players right uh know these are a lot of
26654s	players you know obviously we've seen
26655s	Cal and you know rack you know in the
26657s	past at an extremely high level but
26659s	players who've not played know in the a
26661s	lot of players here right we have played
26662s	in the league in the past done some
26663s	other things they not uh and then also
26666s	to play at a land right of this level
26670s	you know uh with with all the stakes on
26671s	the line uh it's it's an awesome
26673s	learning experience and something they
26675s	probably only get better from I'm trying
26676s	to think Cal they may have played a a
26680s	land before with the Gladiators maybe
26682s	one of them Hawaii trips yeah
26684s	potentially uh but but also that's a a
26686s	completely different environment than in
26689s	EV
26690s	like this is our a bloody Convention
26692s	Center big difference here we go folks
26694s	we're gearing up for our first map of
26696s	the series as you can see it's busad on
26700s	the docket
26701s	[Music]
26703s	so we'll see what both of these teams uh
26705s	decide to play here early on right as uh
26709s	for a lot of the teams you've seen like
26710s	you know MAA far see if these teams
26713s	start to go thisg team play Dive though
26715s	yeah uh space station also right uh know
26718s	probably plays something uh vastly
26720s	different than a lot of the other teams
26722s	here because that's just what they
26724s	always uh do right uh so see what NRG
26729s	decides to roll with off the ri yes
26732s	right now infected hovering
26735s	that scissors probably plays Tracer
26737s	you've seen a lot of Tracer throughout
26739s	the na qualifier from SC
26741s	so see uh this Winston isn't isn't bad
26745s	into the the sigma here Onan but I think
26747s	that take a lot of damage early on maybe
26749s	you can build up know towards that Nano
26751s	rather quickly yeah and playing a
26752s	Deadpool very quickly moov into the
26754s	middle part of the map infected takes a
26756s	facee full of damage and has to
26758s	disengage In fairness though NRG do a
26760s	good job of getting him back to the rest
26761s	of the team getting him topped
26764s	up Onana which is generally a great look
26766s	for
26767s	them in comes effective over the top
26769s	this takes a glancing blow may have to
26771s	recall but actually gets the job done
26773s	ghost is the first casualty of the map
26775s	andola follows soon
26777s	after uh I I think this is also huge
26780s	from like a confidence perspective right
26783s	uh cuz not only uh you know you're
26786s	playing in front of the the crowd right
26787s	here on the main stage you're also like
26789s	a fan favorite right where we talked
26791s	about uh with liar right the expectation
26793s	of you know winning now is a way
26796s	different this is like an expectation
26798s	you're representing a huge Legacy brand
26801s	in OverWatch Esports and now you're like
26803s	a fan favorite here against players who
26804s	have historically played at the highest
26806s	level it's a lot to ask for some of
26807s	these younger players and winning that
26809s	first fight probably a huge sire Elite
26811s	yeah obviously off off the mainstream n
26814s	already played and did fall in straight
26817s	maps to the SSG roster this might be
26820s	their last time to show us what they
26821s	made of on stage and so far not so
26822s	shabby Cal with the rally to find their
26826s	Bastion beautiful that's Rack Attack
26829s	making sure that arter is set up to do
26831s	work nasty little bio here and NRG going
26834s	from strength to strength in this
26836s	[Applause]
26839s	round and having a difficult time kind
26841s	of moving around potentially
26842s	circumventing some of this Winston
26845s	towards that back line I also think like
26847s	this is the worst map for them yeah it's
26849s	it's it's not ideal uh this stage of
26851s	Busan at
26854s	least CU there AR like out of our top
26856s	North American delegates not a lot of
26858s	them like will like to take the dive
26860s	when they
26862s	can though nasty nasty Winston Matrix
26865s	you can prime all this if okay pulse
26867s	doesn't quite connect on St but still a
26869s	sound barrier from mastera GG Took a ton
26871s	of damage in the finish
26873s	off right there unfortunately gets
26876s	caught out by the Dead Eye so The High
26878s	Ground goes infected here Cal have the
26880s	Mobil order to get out of trouble and
26882s	then to get back in control now they
26884s	need to
26885s	stabilize yeah now I knowa right has the
26888s	FL for the next fight nothing really to
26890s	work with uh maybe you kind of have
26892s	infected coat go out take some damage
26894s	build up H towards that Nano as you can
26896s	n that wind and sended towards that back
26898s	line being very difficult on ghost as
26902s	support ultimates here available for
26904s	it m here backs up behind that ktic
26907s	grasp these PG this could be a big catch
26910s	pulse as well on infected they have to
26912s	get out can Cal help them looks like
26915s	they found a mega of their own but
26916s	they're going to be accosted by ker as
26917s	soon as infected walks out it's an easy
26920s	isolate off the win but NRG shot flip
26923s	the point back 85% and Counting now in
26927s	had the wall pool over their
26929s	eyes yeah I mean they get a little bit
26931s	of percentage there right it just kind
26933s	of uh prevents in from just ticking up
26935s	probably into you know the mid-50s uh at
26938s	that time though I mean uh infect the
26940s	gets here with H spom and he's actually
26942s	pretty far ahead of the rest of the crew
26943s	they get split off by the gravitic
26944s	blocks and nothing Master can do there
26947s	is he gets Tracked Down by the wind
26949s	Prime n definely dodging away from that
26952s	accretion he's
26954s	infected shock now have them the lead
26958s	looking to close this round out here
26959s	early on Busan and don't have anything
26961s	Ultimus to work with they're going to
26962s	have to do this the old fashioned way
26966s	Cal can see them barking out those
26968s	orders and there's no touch after the
26970s	end yeah what a day for you to the stage
26972s	for
26975s	shot about as good of a start you can
26977s	get there uh po NRG is C looking across
26981s	the stage there uh kind of put his hands
26984s	up in the air put their hands up in the
26986s	air when he saw them not get towards the
26990s	point I got to say that the NRG guys
26993s	like they've they've been having a ball
26994s	here every time I see them they got
26996s	Smiles on faces the back hang a good
26998s	time I think I run into them in the
27000s	elevator yesterday doesn't walk in i'
27002s	seen infected earlier on that day I
27003s	think cow pipes up and he turns the rest
27005s	of his team like you guys going to say
27006s	hello or what I'm
27008s	like I mean I mean you get the
27010s	presidential suite I'm surprised you use
27011s	the same elevator as the rest of
27014s	us don't L my secrets man come on yeah
27017s	oh y here it is a bit of infected
27019s	Wrecking Ball a rarity in North America
27021s	but something infected
27023s	specifically has showing us on occasion
27025s	it's very good on this map especially
27028s	yeah then Cal can played this end here
27029s	right uh the the the orb on the ball
27033s	extremely effective to kind of healing
27034s	the ball really one of the only supports
27035s	that can effectively heal and they're a
27037s	great in general yeah yeah they put down
27039s	tons of damage e on the Widow just
27042s	trying to find an angle here would be on
27044s	a keer or high from across the point
27046s	this Con could be hard to pin down look
27048s	ATA he'll be getting flanked constantly
27050s	with that Discord or it's so hard to
27051s	hang but the immortality field comes out
27053s	really early on Bol on the point right
27055s	so you don't have it in the back line to
27057s	keep keer up there and that's what this
27058s	bom is going to do they're going to
27059s	split you up and it's going to put ghost
27061s	in some awkward positions he's going to
27063s	have to figure out how he uses his
27064s	resources best and well there's going to
27066s	have to be a alive to do that
27068s	PGE makes that
27072s	difficult hello my next
27074s	kill yeah this can't yeah we've seen
27077s	this we've seen this multiple times it's
27080s	frustrating to play against that's why
27081s	ANS go for the legs at the start of the
27083s	round the soldier 76 because ker feels
27085s	like he needs some self-sufficiency
27087s	against this comp he knows who's going
27088s	to dive him but some damage from
27089s	scissors in head shot right that one on
27091s	a Kai almost ends up taking out on Thea
27094s	forces that immortality field out allows
27095s	infected to go into the backline and
27097s	he's going to find one of these a lot of
27099s	map control here for NRG shock PG has to
27102s	grapp away from trouble joins up with
27104s	rack attack here with that infight just
27106s	waited for a glimpse of Kai pulled the
27108s	shot a little bit too early though when
27109s	scissors got picked off CU a tried to
27111s	dive deep risky be his master risky
27114s	indeed there it is the head shot claims
27116s	it it's as if ANS AR quite aware of the
27119s	wids posted up right now eventually PG
27122s	is brought down Kai get in his face Rack
27124s	Attack was priced into having a fight
27125s	here as we'll see the point flips you
27128s	thought I was Rusty yes so about 50%
27131s	here for uh NRG shock is I wonder if you
27133s	have like a swap here potentially from
27136s	PGE you maybe swap off of the Widow go
27139s	with something else but looks like
27140s	they'll stay on the Widow
27143s	here uh it can be a little bit easier
27145s	now for like keer right with a little
27147s	bit more math control to put pressure on
27149s	it this has to rec a little
27152s	early andg have to manufacture pressure
27155s	in other
27156s	ways ker doesn't have to use his though
27159s	is able to pick up the mini now can play
27161s	a bit more
27162s	aggressively scissors may have recall up
27164s	in the next couple of seconds that point
27167s	is still under an control we see the dro
27170s	in there from infected big damage taken
27171s	not able to really do much to Kai but
27174s	it's a big shot from PGE ghost
27176s	apparently can't really benefit from
27177s	theola Shield as he has to be used to
27179s	contest and it's like a Minefield on
27181s	half of the point there I wonder because
27183s	infected took so much damage and Nano
27185s	here onto the zit that was a flick from
27187s	PGE an ay one I think it catches on and
27190s	does enough damage and siss turns Up N
27194s	shot at 50% and Counting now looking
27198s	very good with the Transcendence online
27199s	for the next fight yeah and I think uh
27201s	you're know you're going to have the in
27202s	for Sight here so that always buys some
27204s	time but in has a lot of good ultimates
27206s	to work with here right you know you're
27208s	going to have uh overclock the PSE bombs
27211s	have been good here from Kev in map
27212s	number one you're going to have sound
27213s	barrier flux so huh may he thought there
27216s	was one more player discipline there
27218s	from
27220s	PG right here's the tickle V is going to
27222s	step up and start contesting remember
27225s	this Transcendence is nothing to pulse
27227s	bom good flux though can be shut down by
27229s	transcend and C wants to make sure
27230s	whoever drops down is healthy enough not
27231s	to be insta killed but there's the pulse
27233s	PGE gets picked off S now for KY wants
27236s	to Surge ahead they are respecting Cal
27240s	they eventually surround him and bring
27241s	him down so looks like call and rack may
27245s	make it out here it looks like uh M go
27248s	maybe thought about pushing that but
27250s	knew some other players are coming off
27251s	spawn they want going to like run
27253s	directly into them so H this will be the
27255s	wall from PGE everybody going to play
27258s	pretty safe here uh if anything this is
27260s	going to allow NRG shot to get some map
27262s	control
27264s	right yeah they're going to try and
27266s	spread out use these extremities a
27267s	little bit more but actually don't want
27268s	to play just the point anymore they want
27270s	to make it hard for Widow to set up on
27272s	these off angles maybe for the wrecking
27273s	ball to move around undetected and
27276s	that's a good amount of attention being
27278s	PID towards Rack Attack Diana does not
27279s	have Mobility but this could be a
27281s	problem still I mean there's no peel
27283s	really at all but c ends up finding
27285s	ghost on the other side of the map so
27287s	now a Bloss supports here for NRG shock
27290s	but you have infected getting close to a
27292s	m field ass with this H SW go switches
27294s	over to the KIRO I think he's been
27296s	struggling a little bit with the pick
27297s	potential the NRG shock happening
27298s	displaying re now store there are mines
27301s	on the point another for pte what a huge
27303s	shot keer has a big job trying to keep
27306s	this Widow quiet mat but it looks like n
27308s	might be a to pull away here at the end
27310s	of the round n boost on PGE got exactly
27312s	the ideal candid for that ability and en
27315s	close it up even it one a piece and I
27318s	wonder if uh your energy shock if you
27321s	kind of uh you know maybe look back at
27323s	this one and it's like okay at some
27324s	point maybe could switch off of that
27326s	Widow uh you could have re went back to
27328s	that Winston base composition there uh
27330s	potentially as uh did have an
27332s	opportunity to steal there towards the
27333s	end don't think you got to use the
27335s	scissors pulse spom is that really an
27337s	awesome time to potentially use it uh as
27340s	the first map will go down to one
27341s	control point it was a good scissors
27343s	pulse earlier in that
27344s	round close to with 3K at some
27347s	point it's malan time folks everybody's
27351s	favorite
27355s	time andar course stick to their guns
27358s	with this Sigma set up
27360s	round three symmetras for the TP and
27364s	switches off to something more standard
27366s	it's going to be Cassidy Genji for
27369s	NRG Tracer Ker's hero of choice and
27372s	we'll see if they can like put a lot of
27374s	pressure on this ster right in fact he
27376s	gets quite so
27379s	sharp soon to fall as well good Shield
27382s	pressure even earlier for
27384s	PGE I tell you what that is instant
27387s	impact just to add water for the his DPS
27390s	ofg Kai eventually Falls here if it
27393s	costs them cow think shock happy with
27395s	that
27396s	exchange yeah they'll have to double
27398s	back they're going to lose a lot of
27399s	player sty into this fight so
27402s	inconclusive yeah they may not even get
27404s	point out of this they push really deep
27407s	as H scissors with no deflect up have to
27410s	back out here yeah you'll have everybody
27412s	back now at full straight so uh it won't
27415s	exactly be in taking the point off of
27416s	this we have actually another fight oh
27419s	that's not good the pick off from Masa
27421s	PGE was the Silver Bullet for NRG in
27423s	that previous fight now without him they
27425s	really lack that damage
27427s	output Mara so Tatty like a Sly
27431s	Fox he's been around the block quite a
27433s	few times yeah just maybe slightly
27436s	Reckless there from know NRG coming back
27439s	on in right uh you're just kind of like
27441s	know for PGE pretty pretty outly open
27444s	right walking kind of like towards the
27446s	end team and then uh infected gets quite
27449s	deep in the back line but none of his
27451s	healers are in position with line of
27452s	sight at the moment here's scissors oh
27456s	on the kai kai having back away though
27457s	instantly I think regenerative burst
27459s	there from Ghost solves that issue
27462s	denture
27463s	though not quite at optimal ve but he's
27466s	the dive in oh man The magav Venture cop
27469s	looks very good from
27471s	NRG oh I mean uh Venture inside of the
27475s	consuming rushes as well because you're
27478s	cycling those cool Downs so fast and
27480s	then also you're building the shield off
27482s	of bit it's so difficult to take
27486s	out such an important yeah exactly there
27488s	such an important addition to that BW
27490s	composition give you staying power that
27493s	Tracer doesn't quite offer plus like
27496s	long duration invulnerability burrow
27500s	here they come again charge into stop in
27503s	fact they're not going to throw down a
27504s	cage fight here PG going to work from
27506s	the outside of it B can't go anywhere
27508s	kuic flux comes out in response from St
27510s	as the sber G and wind go to fight the
27512s	master eventually dies to the Dead Eye
27515s	ghost is out of the pit though ghost is
27516s	down no supports up for here nice
27519s	beautiful what an accretion there and
27521s	that might have turned the fight around
27523s	scissors and cow could have been a
27525s	problem but now with 62% and Counting
27528s	yeah ined uh flipped that right uh you
27530s	know where NRG shock in control at the
27533s	start so they end up looking it you'll
27536s	have scissors with Al here but really I
27538s	mean that was a huge investment from
27540s	enrg sharp they want to fight old popped
27543s	here by scissors drill Rush even used to
27545s	get them further forward and that's what
27546s	I disengage not easy to do with this
27548s	composition look at that long range
27549s	damage yeah buddy that's Venture for you
27553s	immortality field looks a little out of
27555s	place this late in the fight but great
27556s	stick scissors nothing I can do about
27558s	that one ke give it Ander window back
27560s	into this fight they'll play from The
27562s	High Ground for now Matt yeah no suu
27564s	available there at the moment buta FR
27566s	building up another ksun really fast not
27569s	able to get it off in time to keep
27570s	infected alive what a dead eye nothing
27572s	PGE could have done about that the
27574s	durability of the cidy too hard to break
27576s	through and so have done it flip it back
27578s	out of their control in this map slowly
27579s	starting to slip out of nrg's fingers
27583s	how do they even touch this scissors
27585s	wrecking ball here for infected able to
27587s	keep the round going but this is awkward
27589s	they're going to get caught here not a
27591s	whole lot that can be done with the r
27593s	attack falling now it's going to be the
27594s	last prestiges of
27596s	NRG eventually set packing
27600s	that'll be that graic flx here will
27602s	punctuate the point that want to make
27604s	that's the day rign
27606s	Supreme yeah BR back and forth map
27609s	number one between these two teams where
27612s	I know it felt like uh you know
27614s	obviously NRG shock they win uh round
27617s	number one we go to round number two
27618s	they start to get off know pretty well
27620s	with the Widow maybe staying a little
27621s	bit too long but that third and final
27624s	point of Busan it's really I know all
27628s	ends towards the end felt like maybe
27630s	sh s to play a little bit too loose I
27633s	don't think any of their comps were
27634s	particularly out of order I think that
27637s	you know one thing we like so much about
27639s	n in their domestic play was that
27641s	infected offer them the you know the
27643s	opportunity to go to play styles that
27644s	maybe like individuals like you know
27647s	could couldn't offer maybe didn't sort
27649s	of offer on that M80 team not that many
27651s	teams able to make dive work we like
27652s	what we see so far from [ __ ] but it's
27654s	going to take a bit more than that some
27655s	serious veterans on the other side of
27657s	the stage let's head down to the desk
27658s	and have them break down the game we've
27659s	seen thus far thank you so much guys
27662s	yeah what a fun map one this already was
27665s	definitely a lot more competitive than
27668s	what we got to see earlier on in the day
27670s	from many of the teams as we sproll
27672s	through 30 city now let's break down the
27675s	action uh looking at some of the
27677s	highlights I mean Johnny you know like
27679s	just Loki seeing the future you talk the
27683s	ball into existence it did happen and we
27685s	also get to see some menure which is a
27687s	lot of fun PG on that Widowmaker may
27690s	have always stayed his welcome but
27691s	certainly he made kevster sweat for it
27694s	like keer had it workout out keeping
27696s	busy taking down P either to be honest I
27699s	actually really like what energy has
27700s	brought so far I think they made almost
27703s	perfect decisions the Winston C on map
27704s	one really punishing the sigma map two I
27707s	think the ball had a lot of potential
27709s	maybe an opportunity to bring back the
27711s	Winston later into the map but PG kept
27713s	finding pick it's hard to disagree with
27715s	his widow there I think map three
27717s	probably the biggest issue was just how
27719s	well and was able to execute if you make
27721s	any mistakes if you don't pick them off
27722s	within the first few seconds they clutch
27724s	these fights out but I got to emphasize
27726s	against that MAA so many fights were
27728s	down to one last player it's kevster
27730s	clutching with a pulse bomb that was not
27733s	a very dominant showing from NS even
27734s	though they do take the map yeah and I
27736s	think again we saw some stuff from
27738s	energy that they can maybe build on
27739s	throughout this series right for example
27741s	I do think that the MAA and Aventure
27743s	combines for something that is really
27744s	effective against the sigma right
27746s	because even like Venture ultimate is
27748s	quite strong because the sigma has a
27750s	difficult time shielding that off but
27751s	primarily because I mean the cardiac
27753s	overdrive combined with the shields that
27754s	aventry is building it's just so much
27756s	sustain in the closeup brawl right so I
27758s	really do think that MAA and the Venture
27760s	combination could be something that
27761s	energy could go back to in this series
27763s	and as we look forward into map two now
27765s	now we're on the flip side of what we've
27767s	seen so far we say well like hey maybe
27769s	ANS they should go to like circuit
27771s	Royale for example maybe they should
27772s	take it those Sigma Maps now actually if
27774s	I'm NRG I'm looking to maybe we can pick
27776s	one of those dive Maps ear like maybe we
27778s	can go to a jalter right right because
27780s	that is the master really favorite dive
27781s	Vesta not going to be comfortable at all
27784s	playing that Sigma Gibralter or for
27786s	example hybrid maybe you want to go to
27787s	something like a Hollywood for example
27789s	that could be a really good map for NRG
27791s	so now you want to shy away from those
27792s	Sigma heavy Maps because that's pretty
27794s	much only what the St has played so far
27796s	in this tournament I feel like it it
27797s	just has to be jalter right now from NRG
27800s	I think not just that jalter is a great
27803s	dive map but that also means you're
27804s	blocking circuit Royale which is almost
27806s	certainly going to be end this map of
27808s	choice so get circuit Royale out of the
27809s	pool play jalter right now if they pick
27812s	anything else frankly I'll be a little
27814s	disappointed um as it's it's not going
27816s	to be
27817s	again it's not going to be Busan a
27819s	second time um that's keeping you on
27822s	your toes that's not all that that was a
27824s	little quiz we're actually heading to
27825s	Midtown we've just been informed how do
27828s	we feel about the Midtown choice I don't
27829s	know if I love that this is a comfort
27831s	pick for students of the game they love
27833s	their own Sigma comp on this map so in a
27835s	way this is showing incredible
27837s	confidence that they're going to take it
27838s	to them I think in a sigma mirror
27840s	perhaps with the arari life Weaver that
27841s	they've been playing previously this
27843s	could be a strong look for them and if
27844s	they win the sigma mirror I think that
27845s	definitely puts a statement on the
27847s	series however I am worried because that
27849s	means we we're probably going to see an
27851s	having the opportunity to take us to
27852s	Circuit to bring out Kai on the
27854s	Widowmaker but maybe I mean honestly at
27856s	this point maybe NRG is saying we're
27858s	going to have to beat you on the sigma
27859s	mirror at some point let's just go there
27861s	let's let's go there with confidence and
27863s	our own honestly establish dominance why
27865s	not well yeah I mean you got to make
27866s	your bed right you might got to make as
27868s	a coach specifically as a coach when you
27869s	have prepared all this right you have to
27871s	decide going into this series do we want
27873s	to take it to what we are comfortable on
27875s	or do we perhaps want to go to maps that
27878s	we think they will have a difficult time
27879s	on so you got to make your bet and you
27881s	got to make up your mind because worst
27883s	case scenario maybe you lose this
27884s	Midtown map now because and are like
27886s	will happily play Midtown but you got to
27888s	be comfortable with this pick now going
27889s	to Midtown I'm not quite sure I agree
27891s	with this pick but like like Jake said
27893s	it's obviously picking it there it's a
27894s	map they're probably comfortable on I
27896s	think something we have been seeing from
27897s	this team throughout uh stage two was
27900s	that they like to play into their
27902s	comfort zone kind of disregarding what
27904s	they know their opponents are
27905s	particularly comfortable with or would
27907s	like to play they have been relying
27909s	heavily on Comfort picks Comfort Maps
27911s	Etc so it might not be a bad choice for
27914s	them obviously this is the best to three
27916s	so even if it's lost is not everything's
27918s	done and dusted they are on the brink of
27920s	elimination though so obviously
27922s	everything is on the light stakes are
27924s	high here as we are heading into our
27927s	second map of this very serious and for
27930s	all the action we send it over back to
27932s	Uber and Mr X thank you very much Kang
27935s	yeah I look a great point there when it
27937s	comes to the map selection here you know
27939s	for NRG because the idea of like they
27941s	being one comp that this team plays kind
27943s	of falls down we've seen a few teams
27944s	show really strong preference to try and
27946s	drive for maps that suit certain Styles
27948s	but NRG are actually a lot more flexible
27951s	I would say than uh you know okay maybe
27954s	not Toronto but definitely like M80 in
27956s	that sense right they do have a sigma
27958s	comp they like that look um you know I
27960s	don't know if like infected came into
27962s	thec has being sort of known as a sigma
27964s	player but this team have really managed
27965s	to make that comp work and they have
27967s	looked really good on that map yeah and
27970s	I think though like they mentioned if
27972s	you're going to play this Sigma kind of
27973s	a competition like head-to-head against
27975s	ins right they're very good at it uh if
27978s	you end up losing that right you're
27979s	going to have to kind of like make some
27981s	changes uh moving forward so uh it's a
27983s	little bit of a gamble of a m pick but
27985s	uh no it should be interesting I I like
27988s	the idea of like trying to push it but
27989s	that's available elsewhere in this
27990s	series me n you think of it this way
27992s	like you have the map picks if you need
27994s	them if you find success here then don't
27996s	worry about it it's going to be ends
27997s	selecting their map remember the trash
27999s	talk was real and absolutely that'll be
28002s	a good quote if you have the map picks
28004s	if you have them that's I mean I mean if
28007s	you lose right you have those Obed
28009s	Reserve to start yourself from getting
28010s	BL losing is learning we can just learn
28012s	to pick more maps if you don't win yeah
28014s	I mean just get them all out listen you
28016s	lose if you don't
28018s	win you serious well you actually can
28021s	draw in this game on this map typ too so
28023s	it doesn't really hold up all the losers
28025s	are learning at home these are the teams
28027s	at one yeah it's only been 8 n years of
28031s	this you really we're starting to get it
28035s	yeah oh dream hack
28037s	yipping 8 years ago is so remembers pepp
28042s	Farm does too most of you probably don't
28044s	that's fine it's about a Here and Now
28046s	folks NRG shock here with that squet
28048s	composition and I think ER is a little
28051s	bit controversial I talk to Marin I'm
28053s	like what do you think about this hero
28054s	he's like no no no good I won't play it
28057s	yeah people are on board with it until
28059s	uh Jack started locking Rank and then
28061s	everybody so it's like the reverse it's
28063s	the reverse happy and Pelican locking
28066s	it's the yeah like we have the reverse
28067s	keer we have the reverse bro he's like
28070s	that aramine with the bald fist by his
28071s	side in the green room right now
28073s	catching Strays in Rack Attack on his
28077s	legendary life Weaver looking for Big
28078s	Trees
28080s	and big grips uh defensive though like
28083s	arari on this map actually probably like
28086s	the best setup uh for the hero right
28089s	like you can have really nice placements
28091s	uh of the turr being able to kind of
28093s	like heal uh throughout all and it makes
28095s	it very difficult to take out so they've
28098s	kind of given up control here you know
28100s	of the fire station right away but if
28103s	you can kind of like lock them in here
28104s	for the shock and PG gets big Dynamite
28106s	value as they come on out potential to
28109s	get some kills after there this is we
28111s	find C Rack Attack APM off the charts
28114s	dissing out that healing important right
28116s	now to have good throughput as the
28118s	pressure is mounting from in Anda on ad
28121s	Diva which is a really a great pick for
28124s	them one of their most comfortable
28126s	Heroes PG is looking for a s doesn't
28128s	really have one but still n shock Force
28131s	ANS right on back to the
28134s	chu yes rack ATT attack can obviously
28136s	use the grip to kind of get players you
28138s	know all the way from points back to
28140s	like safety is Count really odd spot
28142s	there gets caught out yeah Master spots
28145s	a great
28146s	opportunity does a great job at
28148s	manufacturing picks in general a far
28150s	more active Lucio than you're used to
28152s	seeing and there's that little dive K
28155s	right behind Thea with the rail gun shot
28156s	and
28158s	infected usually how that goes in a
28162s	1v5 might have some staggers here as
28165s	well oh buddy like two or three players
28168s	look like scissors potentially going to
28170s	make it out uh with life is looks like
28173s	you just end up losing cow there where I
28176s	I think he probably give this another go
28178s	right you're going to havei Al and
28180s	you're going to have you have the life
28182s	al already uh but thei is much more
28185s	effective on the first point right you
28186s	know as I think you kind of go through
28188s	the map I think becomes a little bit
28190s	less effective in terms of you know uh
28191s	being able to play the hero AG now
28194s	catching fora briefly that healing pile
28196s	a little bit tough to see for in so it's
28198s	going to get a lot of value for
28201s	Cal who wants to move up here and just
28203s	take hot shots at the diva for now C
28206s	though is on the Move eventually and R
28208s	shock are going to have to intervene C
28210s	might think of a captain Sun here has to
28211s	watch out for the defense Matrix here's
28213s	the blade and the grip is good scissors
28216s	though not nearly as lucky C escape from
28217s	Kai k with a sound Barry now not able to
28221s	cut tog shock oh my the captain son Cal
28225s	Waits on it find four
28227s	DPS now looks to try and top infected up
28230s	briefly and in full Scout
28232s	Retreat yes a captive Sun huge there uh
28238s	looks like
28239s	we scissors here with a whole spot
28242s	potentially kind of like L Around The
28243s	High Ground it's going to be a consume
28244s	Rush here from Ghost is uh get that up
28248s	in The High Ground just trying to get
28249s	High Ground
28250s	Control in fact his CHT need able to
28252s	back away from that somehow NRG shock
28254s	with the sigma comper allowed to
28256s	disengage H don't find Value they can
28259s	their rush they can't even use the high
28260s	ground because they're going to push the
28261s	card that's why they're going to wish
28263s	they had back there's a deflect from
28265s	Camp he headed deep into the back F but
28266s	takes a hit from Cal Kai though has a
28269s	better rail gun and hits a lot harder
28272s	that's both supports from NRG shock out
28274s	of the
28276s	game Kai Now set up on this High Ground
28279s	right you just got to like dislodge
28280s	these players here uh from the payload
28283s	is going to get uh get infected out of
28285s	the way right now you can have guys set
28287s	up on The High Ground with that so kind
28289s	of like overlooking it makes it pretty
28292s	difficult here you know Energy Shot
28294s	going to make it out of the spawn right
28295s	you know the support switch which he
28297s	kind of thought after those ultimates
28298s	were used but might not even get a touch
28300s	me RA I mean look weak yeah I mean
28303s	that's brutal ra attack had no choice
28305s	but the try and contest in fact it could
28307s	not get there and now it's just a
28308s	stagger assist drips and traps kinetic
28311s	grasp already used ke to found the Deep
28313s	FL elimination on the Tracer that's a
28314s	rare
28315s	one Cal tries to hold their ground
28320s	also I think uh you know if you're an
28322s	end fan out there seeing them play a
28324s	different look at a high level I think
28326s	we all kind of knew they could right you
28328s	know V we've seen play Diva historically
28330s	for time I thought that was like the
28332s	goto for V that etal SP yeah I mean it
28335s	was right uh and then kind of like
28338s	obviously the Watch 2 Sigma comes into
28340s	the mixx you know with uh like has like
28343s	a you know signal a great off tank but
28345s	as a as a main tank right in the 55
28347s	world really strong
28349s	it's a good look right ke obviously can
28351s	play just about everything at extremely
28353s	high level so this a good sign doesn't
28356s	connect on Master there but in fact he
28357s	wants to go for the flux Kai though slid
28360s	his on out of it sneaky sneaky Keo got
28363s	caught and he had no chance of Escape K
28366s	gets given a shield to work from is
28368s	infected does a good job of creating
28369s	that space and then they come they find
28371s	Kai melee there from scissors assisting
28373s	with the damage and Bola is locked in
28375s	but where'd it go from here I think he's
28377s	hoping to get one more pick before the
28378s	fight's done V scissors has the pulse
28379s	pump ghost is down Thea did five Cal in
28382s	the end the scissors is unattended and
28384s	now running rough shot over it I think
28387s	infect did a tremendous job being able
28389s	to kind of protect Cal there as C they
28391s	end up using that immortality build as
28392s	soon as it's gone the shield kind of
28395s	dancing there from infected putting it
28397s	in a great spot where C could use it as
28398s	well I know an impr there in the mix and
28401s	just protecting that support in the
28402s	backline allowing for scissors to get
28404s	back and land that big P Spot help out
28407s	slower going here for r things have
28409s	definitely come to a bit of a crawl over
28411s	the stage of the map but maybe the blade
28412s	breaks them out keer only really has
28415s	infected the slash hat and there an
28416s	imortality field in the way that is
28417s	cleared and effectiv is still low rack
28420s	attack goes for the rally now to get
28421s	that Sigma back in fighting shape and
28423s	the immortality field was
28425s	deployed Kai pushes up PG No Escape Cal
28428s	now on The Chopping Block dangerous
28430s	situation for them and Kai doesn't miss
28432s	those S is have to capitalize on a low
28434s	Health
28435s	soier but what else can be done here eny
28438s	shock stri now infected surrounded n
28440s	want to push for the Finish yeah the
28442s	payload not in position though that like
28444s	that fight is just going to result in a
28446s	win right of the map as I did end up
28448s	getting one player for in down here be
28451s	scissors gets on gets a touch you're
28452s	going to have infected coming back up a
28454s	spa and overclock from PG imortality fi
28456s	well time for C distance was very very
28458s	low he's at the TR the shot the air
28460s	Matrix is a bit scary for the Defenders
28461s	to have to contest with and there's a
28463s	the immortality field there for ghost a
28465s	deadly combo this is really aess to play
28468s	into an hour sound to follow it up how
28470s	do n respond to this it's just too much
28472s	they're going to be brought down now and
28473s	an will not be denied I'm going to and
28476s	21 on the clock I'm going to
28479s	say watching CS there put a lot of
28482s	pressure down on the Genji also he has a
28484s	wave of blowing air in just the right
28486s	way to move the curtains of hair out of
28488s	either side of if you seen that he can
28490s	hit either side he like blows his little
28492s	hair curtains out of the way as he plays
28494s	I've never had that much hair so never
28496s	really no it's really impressive
28497s	honestly he does that while playing
28499s	unreal just aims that jet of
28503s	air well luckily for you you'll never
28506s	have to do
28509s	that my hairline is is going the other
28512s	direction it's not an issue your
28513s	hairline is doing the the reverse keer
28515s	what do we
28517s	call literally the reverse
28522s	ke you're getting Savage in your old
28525s	age who me yeah you I think milk bars
28529s	make you look young but I don't know how
28530s	old you really
28532s	are all right it's here with the ratra
28535s	setup a little bit slower a little bit
28537s	hard on the shift
28538s	and how does it go up against the MAA
28541s	set up
28542s	though well I mean you can kind of
28544s	control this like High Ground a little
28546s	bit I mean you wouldn't really love to
28548s	braw with you know roacha against MAA
28551s	right
28552s	uh but you do have the the bath of the
28555s	Mi rength so the immortality field keeps
28556s	you alive a little bit longer I think it
28558s	just kind of depends like I think if
28560s	you're the shock right you're going to
28561s	kind of like try and know play for that
28563s	left hand side get to that firehouse and
28566s	then play from the point from that angle
28568s	where I think in is uh way more open to
28571s	fighting in space right does not want to
28573s	fight in that close
28575s	qu okay we have a venture here prises
28578s	briefly and then a trer okay turn a bit
28580s	more reasonable dark lord PGE of course
28583s	will be on that to they want to force
28585s	him off of High Ground here right so
28587s	Force this ratra down probably into that
28590s	back left corner and then you're going
28591s	to go with a big slam that's going to be
28593s	the cardiac overdrive right away knew
28594s	that were coming though throws up the
28595s	vortex earlier andg not quite able to
28598s	get gripped with M yet Cal occupying his
28601s	high ground though and a going to be a
28602s	problem but Kai is hitting those shots
28606s	beautiful rail claims PGE Cal that
28608s	seemed all too easy for the young man
28611s	and one by one the attackers are
28614s	fill yeah I mean you don't put a ton of
28616s	pressure on the point right 46% so you
28618s	to take out of that uh and then you use
28621s	you come out of the subway car at the
28623s	top and you use that cardiac overdrive
28625s	straight away so they just kite around
28627s	the corner I mean there's not really
28628s	like a worry right they're not fighting
28630s	into that you have immortality field the
28631s	time at that time you have the ratra
28633s	right now you can play even from more of
28635s	a distance here with the sigma dangerous
28637s	infected that is just too far you don't
28640s	have the healing through to deal with
28641s	that amount of damage coming away and
28643s	you had the cardiac overdrive sure but
28644s	you're not actually doing damage while
28645s	you're running across the map yeah and
28648s	there's not really worry about like
28649s	getting bursted by PGE as you cross
28651s	there if you're in right uh just you
28654s	just speed boost across with ease NRG
28657s	shock almost splits themselves in a way
28659s	right uh they almost split themselves so
28662s	yeah effective tries to get across the
28663s	Gap and threaten the point cap yeah and
28665s	this is even better here with the
28667s	sigment play right you can control that
28668s	staircase control The High Ground if you
28670s	want you give that ground though if
28672s	you're if you're challenged by the magga
28673s	you're back
28676s	up this is once more infected
28680s	going to hope to make use of the blank
28682s	pressure being applied okay big big stop
28685s	but can you follow up on it m a to find
28688s	Cal here now infected a little bit more
28689s	nervous about pushing in but the Contin
28691s	R she's active they've got to make use
28692s	of it somehow to get Kai any more than
28694s	that no agre catches Tracer and scissors
28697s	can't really do anything about ghost up
28699s	there it's a large investment though
28701s	racks up using S three players there it
28704s	was just I believe himself infected in
28707s	scissors
28709s	and in that I mean you match barrier
28710s	vers barrier but in the Lost fight
28712s	pretty much just come back with the
28713s	sound barrier I feel like in the next
28715s	fight uh you're in a much better
28717s	spot running out of time here for the
28720s	attackers they do have cage
28723s	fight H bom is well fores but has to a
28726s	cause cont morality fi to make that work
28729s	and then has a flux shocker playing a
28731s	grouped up team it hello I don't know
28733s	what El was can do with the Mele oh
28736s	buddy playing presses gone you are
28739s	resetting
28741s	again okay he's the St the avoids it
28744s	look at that Shield that was beautiful
28746s	break the light flux Ry you've got to
28749s	stay alive through this got to stay
28751s	alive through that I I get it though
28753s	goes through the immortality field
28754s	placed in a position that's hard for the
28756s	attackers to see from that room to shoot
28758s	at but I think just let NRG into the
28760s	game yeah I mean he's Tethered to the
28762s	corner though like there's not really a
28764s	spot uh he can kind of go to us the flux
28767s	that they end up taking him out so you
28768s	don't have that uh you know
28771s	ultimate keer gets a touch respectable
28774s	here's for stall ghost is brought down
28775s	so a long fight will hurt them only a
28777s	couple n shot players on the point
28778s	itself though the Rack Attack getting
28781s	busy knocking heads
28783s	together what's your goal just trying to
28785s	get this into OT here if you're in as M
28788s	will get
28790s	one yeah you won't get there Rec call it
28792s	for ke though what a nuisance 2 minutes
28795s	40 to play here for shot yeah so I mean
28798s	they're going to need a speed run here
28800s	through this second part of the map
28802s	right the the last part of the map's
28804s	pretty difficult to kind of like chain
28805s	together uh right now if you're energy
28808s	shock you try and control his High
28809s	Ground you have double support Al going
28811s	into the next fight double support Al
28813s	get PG some position up on The High
28814s	Ground potentially you have an
28816s	opportunity to kind of chain This
28820s	Together bird ey view of the situation
28822s	here for Masa he's been very good at
28824s	picking off scissors on
28826s	occasion it's a matter of getting this
28827s	card into the choken forcing a fight
28829s	Ando want to take their head to but them
28830s	I don't have any choice here s is going
28832s	to help with that s Contin to rush
28835s	throwing down infective look at the kill
28837s	involvement look at the assists there on
28839s	Infected everybody turning their
28840s	attention towards the
28842s	malga shot getting beaten in the B by
28844s	Sigma cop that's cannot much more yes
28849s	kind of needed a fight with there I
28851s	guess the benefit here for shock is that
28853s	is at both support ultimates used during
28855s	that previous fight so you get a good
28857s	use of the sound barrier that's at least
28859s	going to get you in position to have one
28861s	more fight at that point like really
28864s	close to completing the
28866s	checkpoint siss is there looking for a
28868s	way to get in obviously Chason doesn't
28870s	want to faint through
28871s	chokes he's trying to shut the card here
28874s	he's also the only player you can really
28875s	get position without taking large sums
28877s	of damage to push the car might put any
28879s	progress on o That's s imortality field
28881s	has to be used St away okay now you have
28883s	a hold to exploit and so enar do great
28887s	rail here for
28888s	[Music]
28889s	G has to give this ground there is no
28891s	chance contesting so now the can't gets
28893s	through the underpass now we get a pitch
28896s	battle out in the over wherea has a
28897s	gravitic flux rack has to save beat for
28900s	that yeah we've seen a lot of players
28902s	though get shot out of using that beat
28906s	right Kai's got an overclock on the
28909s	other side you're like almost in Prime
28911s	position for it as uh that is a swing
28913s	and a miss there on that one that is a
28916s	big old whip go
28919s	ster here Kai though kind of redeeming
28922s	that not a Whi there oh buddy oh that's
28925s	dirty Kai looks so slick with
28928s	it infected trying to bring that s down
28931s	Earth for Kai remains a Moon
28933s	Unit and I mean now like you're going to
28936s	be walking into ins with High Ground
28939s	Control and the overclock here very
28943s	difficult position for shock to fight
28944s	from 10 seconds now left for NRG
28948s	fight available for infected and off to
28950s	work chop would carry water before he us
28953s	that's beautiful Rack Attack never had a
28954s	chance to make use of it he didn't get
28956s	to use it for the flux either but it
28957s	didn't matter here's the cage fight fi
28960s	thr in there by ghost that's eventually
28961s	going to be removed C wants to push up
28963s	caught though for the time being theun
28964s	rush now will be deployed R attack still
28967s	has a sound barrier it's going to use de
28969s	first though pass one from scissors
28971s	doesn't find purchas as a result but
28973s	there goes Cal scissors falling as well
28974s	R comes back with the beat but who gets
28976s	it absolutely bloody no
28978s	one and will tie the map up and go two
28983s	to zero in the lead the prophecy of Kai
28986s	that n would not win a map so far holds
28989s	true yes uh they were uh pretty
28992s	confident you know coming into this
28993s	series I had imagine and puts together a
28996s	pretty strong first opening two maps is
28999s	uh map number one goes down to the wire
29002s	but I I think and had all the answers
29004s	here on Midtown again like we saw very
29006s	different comps fora having a pilot the
29009s	the diva initially but then crucially of
29011s	course the that
29013s	Sigma giving a lot of room I think to
29016s	the malar at
29017s	times but never giving up the objective
29020s	never giving up the point for free just
29022s	giveing a little bit of space allowing
29023s	of course Kai that time to really go to
29025s	work to really ramp up put that pressure
29028s	down really great sergeon maai that was
29030s	like one of his best we've seen all day
29031s	yeah absolutely and uh now I think
29033s	obviously the pressure all goes back
29035s	onto NRG shock what do you decide to do
29039s	in terms of map selection like that was
29040s	their map pick uh you know they thought
29043s	probably can give them some TR trouble
29045s	playing MAA based compositions we didn't
29047s	love it I think for their style we
29050s	thought they play Sigma yeah and they
29053s	we've seen them run the L you know uh
29055s	online in Na and it's played quite well
29058s	I think just a bit of a different game
29060s	here this weekend yeah there's a
29061s	question of whether ER is really the
29062s	option now with like Health pools being
29064s	like ostensibly bigger right hard to get
29066s	those one shots so that the B burst
29068s	damage available from single shot Heroes
29070s	but we digress going to head over to the
29071s	desk to break down this second map as
29074s	NRG shocker Clinging On for survival in
29076s	this tournament Teran thank you so much
29080s	ends going up to an owna Series so once
29083s	again the ball is in Energy's Court to
29086s	make something happen and get that first
29087s	W on the board can they do it have they
29090s	been competitive enough in your opinion
29093s	I mean I think they've look they look
29094s	solid they looks like there's
29095s	opportunities but they I think an has
29097s	shown basically how much different of a
29099s	team Falcons is than NRG being they
29101s	playing a lot of the same comps but you
29103s	know especially this Lucio right
29105s	sometimes these rotations are incredibly
29106s	difficult incredibly risky you step out
29108s	of place for 1 second your Rush is 2
29111s	seconds slow in either case you just get
29114s	torn apart by this Sigma comp it's
29116s	definitely a threatening style and an
29117s	are incredibly good at it just showing
29120s	the level of play that's required to
29121s	compete at an international land yeah
29124s	and I mean Midtown as well is a map that
29125s	I think historically an has been pretty
29127s	solid on So You Know I I think they
29128s	welcome this map we saw on on the second
29131s	Point how difficult it can be to really
29133s	approach this Sigma composition on the
29135s	or the MAA on the attack rather against
29137s	the sigma right trying to take that High
29139s	Ground I feel like maybe they're cooking
29142s	a little bit with the MAA here and like
29143s	trying to make it work I think there
29144s	there's something to this but like you
29146s	said Jake like the execution just wasn't
29148s	there not nearly the same level of
29149s	execution as we saw Falcons have right
29151s	with this MAA and that is key if you're
29153s	going behind a sigma shield and then
29155s	you're trying to deal with a bati for
29156s	example before the verality field can
29159s	like give enough time for ends to really
29160s	deal with the MAA I mean infected was
29162s	just turned upon immediately right so a
29164s	bit of a comfort pick from NRG there
29166s	they obviously felt comfortable on midt
29167s	time going into it but now you're in a
29169s	pretty rough spot where you know if
29171s	you're going to bring this one back you
29172s	have to reverse sweep and win push flash
29175s	point and escort I mean good news for
29178s	them though is I think you might be able
29179s	to at least you might be able to take us
29181s	to a very solid dive map here where you
29183s	know we did see them win with the
29184s	Winston comp on the first round of buan
29186s	so I think there's still hope for NRG
29188s	they have an opportunity but it's going
29189s	to be a long road you're exactly right
29191s	it is indeed but they came into this uh
29194s	event with confidence you uh actually
29196s	Jay got an opportunity to chat with them
29198s	just yesterday let's see what they had
29199s	to
29201s	say all right what's up everybody I'm
29204s	Jake and I'm here with the newly signed
29206s	NRG shock roster boys I got to ask what
29210s	does it mean to be here at land and you
29211s	got be playing for shock for me it's a
29213s	dream come true like especially repping
29215s	like NRG and and the shock cuz it's the
29217s	shock it's really exciting and a big
29219s	part of my life yeah so have you played
29221s	like on stage in front of fans before
29222s	ever in that environment no are you guys
29225s	nervous at all for that I'm pretty
29227s	nervous PG's nervous yeah like I've
29229s	never played on a new setup apparently
29231s	my mouse pad and all that stuff like you
29233s	know the mouse pad that's that's a
29235s	that's a different topic that's we don't
29236s	want to talk about that dog looking at
29239s	some of the other teams here uh in in
29241s	the tournament who are you looking at as
29242s	like the the scariest most elite
29245s	contenders and who are you kind of
29246s	looking at like all right we can we can
29248s	get these doubs I will be crazy R all
29251s	right call your shots again that's
29253s	confidence like I think Falcons are the
29255s	strongest right now but apparently like
29257s	a lot of the other teams are like you
29259s	know Falcons are beatable but for some
29261s	reason we're better against like some
29262s	teams and they're better against other
29263s	teams infected scissors any any team
29265s	you're looking to beat or just just
29266s	comment to show your best uh I want to
29268s	beat the Koreans yeah yeah I think
29270s	they're overrated damn okay think that
29272s	crazy raccoons Falcons think overrated
29274s	think very beatable for sure beatable
29276s	yeah all right we're going to test out
29277s	y'all y''s Texas accent who do you think
29280s	has the best Texas accent who who's
29281s	ready to rock I'm not even joking like I
29283s	could handle this all right I could
29286s	three three I could handle it you guys
29288s	are quiet in the back but I'm going to
29290s	makeal I got this first phrase is howdy
29294s	partner howdy
29295s	partner howdy partner that's your normal
29298s	voice you just said that
29300s	normally howdy partner Cal you talked
29303s	the big game what you got I have to sit
29304s	up all right all right lock in don't
29307s	look at me
29309s	howdy partner okay come on not bad okay
29312s	come on that's better than racks that's
29314s	not bad let me see effective let me see

29318s	that that was good I believe that oh my
29320s	howdy partner hey all right all right
29323s	how about this it's High Noon it's High
29327s	Noon it's High
29330s	Noon it's high no all right you guys
29333s	this has been uh NRG shock excited to
29336s	see them play on stage looking forward
29338s	to what you guys bring in the tournament
29340s	thank you so much for for spending the
29341s	time with me appreciate youall
29343s	having wasn't
29346s	hard I love these guys I'm actually so
29349s	so so glad we get to see them here
29352s	online uh win or lose it's been a great
29354s	experience to just have them here
29356s	because you know if you're doing a
29358s	league for several years you get used to
29361s	the same old players not that I don't
29363s	love them dearly but it's fun to see the
29365s	new blood on the stage and coming in
29367s	with so much
29368s	there as well you love to see it you see
29370s	it so likable indeed and let's see if
29373s	they can get dub on the board right now
29375s	as we're heading into our next match
29378s	this match point over end let's see if
29380s	energy can make something work what do
29382s	you think Uber Mr X yeah we didn't get
29385s	to see them do any lassoing I wanted the
29387s	lassoing I think I'm the only person
29389s	who's got the lasso where it's supposed
29391s	to go which was under the chair yeah I
29394s	mean did you last so
29395s	Zoe she says no cuz I'm I'm bad at it
29398s	that's fair I don't know if she said I'm
29400s	the best last here and I also saw it so
29402s	he was talking about that I shouldn't
29403s	say that in Texas actually it's very
29405s	bad we've had the same old players Jake
29408s	had this face on like wait hold on I was
29409s	one of those old
29411s	players Jake like wait she talking about
29413s	me I tell a lot of look a lot of
29415s	personality from this this shot which is
29418s	really great to see and they've
29418s	obviously developed fantastically
29420s	they've also been playing uh you know
29422s	since stage two in the face at league
29424s	right we've had a chance to sort of
29425s	watch their development there let's have
29426s	a look at this series so this more to
29428s	come from this I'm sure of it and there
29429s	it is good old jalta gets picked this is
29432s	one of the maps that you I think end
29433s	would probably prefer not to play with
29435s	their style but they do have a few ways
29438s	to work around having to play Winston I
29441s	like the diva from B I think they dirty
29443s	in the roster graphic he's like like you
29446s	barely see the top of his head in that
29447s	one I I know I mean they making him like
29449s	Jaws okay Jaws stand up for a sec stand
29453s	next
29454s	M I'm likeing he's tall than you bu he
29457s	isall
29458s	that is ridiculous mate it's fake news
29460s	oh my God 34 counts of making stuff up
29464s	man he's got he's got platform shoes on
29466s	look
29467s	uhhuh jalter up next of course and again
29470s	this is nrg's last chance to only to
29472s	stay in this match folks but to stay the
29475s	crows major it would be wild know I
29478s	think uh NRG seems like they're like a
29480s	fan favorite see like a reverse we type
29483s	of scenario start with the Brew who here
29485s	wants to see a reverse weep
29489s	it's good amount of
29490s	people I like it I'm here for it it
29494s	starts
29496s	here okay so obviously a Winston
29498s	composition no surprises there we're
29500s	going to see PG on that wiow maker one
29503s	of the maps that really cater to her of
29505s	course in terms of the sight lines and
29506s	how hard it is to access her and like we
29509s	mentioned might look to bring that Diva
29510s	out is that good enough here uh so I
29514s	mean you can't diva is actually not bad
29516s	into Winston right I mean you know in
29518s	terms of like a dualist type like thing
29521s	where Diva can really kind of battle out
29523s	with everybody but they actually utilize
29525s	a symmetra TP and just get Sigma up to
29528s	The High Ground straight away and I
29530s	think they're going to just try and like
29531s	almost ba a div in and say to you know
29534s	NRG it's like can you coordinate
29536s	effectively enough to take out uh you
29538s	know our kind of Sigma based you know
29540s	more Broly competition and infected his
29543s	dead right away PG he had nothing to
29545s	shoot out there that speed boost is it
29547s	started scaring all over the card that
29549s	are very very hard to get beat on any of
29551s	them also that old SSG roster you play
29553s	Reinhardt with the with the tping Sim on
29555s	this map yeah but back in the London
29557s	days yeah uh they but saying that it's
29560s	like nobody's doing it right I mean that
29562s	is just vastly different but that was
29564s	how they overcame to brto playing like a
29566s	rush style yeah you know cetra provides
29569s	like a lot of Mobility to characters who
29571s	typically don't have Mobility so right
29572s	off the start kind of catches them off a
29574s	little bit uh something pay attention to
29576s	uh they get a Kill Ona off the back of
29578s	this Cal they they've hit a few biotic
29581s	grenades to start this one off so they
29583s	get a kill off the back of this one the
29585s	anwers with
29586s	two ENT ready for this ENT ready for
29589s	this map they know it's going to get
29590s	picked against him probably by some of
29591s	the Asian teams so they're ready for it
29593s	when NRG choose to take him there siss
29595s	though that's dangerous PG doesn't have
29597s	a good sight line so I like siss pulling
29599s	back a little bit here ideally pulling
29601s	some people into the Seline of his widow
29603s	I like the diva swap here though right
29606s	you come off the rip you use use that
29607s	Sim TP you get to The High Ground with
29609s	the sigma once you kind of are dislodged
29612s	from that like just kind of forcing the
29613s	sigma in feels like a bad look seem
29616s	masochistic in this part of the too yeah
29617s	so now you can actually just get the
29619s	control all this High ground with the
29620s	diva also puts a little bit more
29622s	pressure on
29622s	[Music]
29624s	PG all right C playing back that High
29626s	Ground here's an anus going over to
29627s	infect it they're only having Diva to
29629s	choose from right now not exactly ideal
29631s	Ed respect this they give ground they
29634s	back up they even using an immortality
29635s	field as a b came in for another two Cal
29638s	pretty clean with those yeah another
29640s	three player bio grenade there so uh
29642s	maybe now you end up like blading right
29645s	having theer kind of use the defense
29646s	Matrix kind of getting kevser into
29648s	position it looks like a fight's Brewing
29650s	up here in the server room I love the
29652s	fall back to the server room though
29653s	that's what lets the Baptist of ghost
29654s	here get Thea back up to full health
29658s	amplification Matrix now Kai makes use
29660s	of it scissors gets blown to Smither and
29662s	infector now needs to look to make good
29664s	use of this Primal as opposed to just
29666s	avoiding death but how do they do that
29668s	try and disrupt mola who does not care
29670s	he's heading upstairs Cal under a lot of
29672s	pressure infected good peel back though
29674s	this is great awareness from NRG but
29676s	they're losing out in the long game now
29678s	the sound barrier as a pressure starts
29679s	them out rack needs this rally now well
29683s	and Kai ends up using the dead ey knows
29685s	they have to step out onto the point the
29686s	contest blade stn up by the running
29689s	Shield there with keer picks himself
29690s	back up and gets back to work surgical
29693s	Precision from the swed and it's here in
29696s	the second phase to the map
29698s	already yeah and I think NRG shocked
29700s	like you kind of thought maybe you can
29702s	catch them off guard not off guard but
29704s	you figured this is something you're a
29705s	little bit more comfortable with and uh
29707s	an is like hey we can do this as well
29710s	right just a slightly different
29711s	variation
29713s	of of course playing for the top of the
29715s	shuttle here and try to take as much
29717s	space as they can which is an nor on
29720s	jalta you know I have to play from the
29721s	low ground if you can help it so the C
29723s	moves up while the more mobile heroes
29725s	take the top of the shuttle now bio Cal
29728s	my goodness they've been such a problem
29731s	and PG is eventually able to punish
29732s	master who clearly gets caught out a
29733s	little bit too long Cal can't give Nano
29735s	over to infected right now they're
29737s	trying to fight their way back into the
29738s	shuttle in order to do so should it be
29740s	required which as it turns out it's not
29743s	and no definitely not I I like the the
29746s	Cassidy switch here from PGE it's like
29748s	way safer in this type of scenario and
29751s	you see right away just a little bit
29752s	more consistent damage output able to
29754s	take out Mas your Sidelines aren't that
29755s	good if the attackers are playing on The
29756s	High Ground contesting you for that
29759s	especially with you know Do's ability to
29761s	thr defense Matrix that can play inside
29763s	the
29764s	shuttle yeah I mean also the Cassy is
29768s	not not a terrible Nano Target if you
29770s	settle this Caster let's play some One V
29774s	ones you think we have a land server to
29776s	use mate what that's that's a good point
29779s	what land server somebody out switches
29782s	out holy hey Matt how about Luca last
29785s	night huh the maver
29787s	phalo he go to the World Series right
29789s	that's crazy bro yeah I'm
29792s	excited how many goals did he score I
29794s	mean you guys are the
29796s	worst that's rude Matt well not the
29799s	worst but like close I me to it Matt was
29803s	told me all about basketball yesterday I
29804s	appreciate that actually I learned a few
29805s	things it was fun Daddy is actually a

29969s	just me you know we all have different
29972s	Investments I'm invested in this game it
29974s	will eventually and I see the players
29978s	that they look they look locked in it
29980s	looks like they're they're testing a
29981s	Lobby right now so we could be we could
29982s	be potentially we could be close we're
29985s	testing yeah we're testing making sure
29987s	that everything is in order so we can uh
29989s	we're in the ballpark of the game love
29992s	this this has been one of the days of
29994s	all time I got to say it has been a day
29996s	that is Danny's outfit today is Danny
30000s	it's very it's very breathable you look
30002s	clean it looks submissive and breathable
30004s	yeah yeah that's good it is very
30006s	breathing yeah I love that the slippers
30008s	and the socks mat I didn't think he was
30010s	going to wear them on stage actually I
30011s	did not ask for that it doesn't exactly
30013s	look like why why don't you show it off
30015s	Danny so we're not talking about
30016s	something people can't see let's go full
30017s	screen on Danny real quick free feet
30019s	there we go uh hit the sub button if you
30022s	want to see more without
30025s	socks oh that was Prime for scream grab
30027s	right
30028s	there good stuff good time are you going
30030s	are you going to go and do your job or
30032s	what what's happening now you going to
30033s	go do your job you going go do your
30035s	Danny Danny did like he was playing
30037s	every game that they've ever invented on
30039s	stage for like a little bit that's true
30041s	he did really well actually we made we
30043s	made rock paper scissors kind of High
30045s	Rock Paper Scissors always pretty high I
30047s	mean Hardy got mind Palace by Calo yeah
30049s	he did he did dominated take him to the
30052s	Rock 12 times in a row like you never
30054s	see that one it was mind games at that
30056s	point honestly impressive and I felt bad
30058s	cuz Danny was pure pressuring one of
30060s	them to switch off of rock and you can
30061s	tell neither of them really wanted to
30063s	switch off of rock P's too nice he just
30066s	wanted to get the game moving I think he
30067s	regrets it now looking back on
30070s	it he's still dwelling you guys remember
30072s	what happened in the series by the way
30073s	anybody in this
30075s	particular in a dangerous scenario but
30077s	trying to make a comeback precarious
30079s	even precarious certainly but it's
30081s	looking there's there's glimmers of Hope
30082s	here on jalter just a glimmer though
30084s	that we're we're ways away from a light
30086s	at the end of the tunnel what do you
30087s	think about the attacking d.on like the
30089s	honest I think it's I think it's some
30090s	booty I don't I don't I think it's very
30093s	bad it's very bad they just don't play
30095s	Winston and so they're bringing it out
30097s	and you know playing for their strengths
30099s	I can see it I think if you're going to
30100s	play B with a dive hero it's probably
30102s	going to be Diva to be honest it's very
30104s	forc but you know play to your strengths
30106s	and in the end n is looking like the
30108s	stronger team in the series so I can see
30109s	sticking with what's your opinion joh I
30111s	feel like I have to give the most cope
30113s	answer possible here but we haven't seen
30115s	jalter play this year in in PH League or
30117s	owcs so we have minimal practice time on
30120s	them and then you tell these teams to
30122s	like yeah why don't you go practice
30123s	jalter against crazy raccoon
30125s	and that's a very efficient scrim time
30128s	for you guys so I don't I think both of
30130s	these teams honestly have a pretty
30132s	minimal aim practice time on jalter in
30134s	the first place to get ready for these
30136s	Maps because if your energy shock you're
30138s	like well I'd rather just practice the
30139s	face H Maps so we can qualify for the
30141s	Esports World Cup right so uh you know I
30143s	do think they have the the leg up
30145s	because they're actually playing the
30146s	Winson composition Diva has a bit of a
30148s	tougher time but you know we also see
30150s	some questionable non Boost from Cal so
30152s	far so maybe I'll leave it out in the
30153s	end we have seen like the uh the Baptist
30156s	Diva comp from M80 I think I played it
30157s	on anttic Peninsula right was like the
30159s	the far Mir they were sarily
30162s	destroyed about 30 seconds Jake
30165s	absolutely un impressed by that yeah
30167s	Jake's like you're not making a case I'm
30169s	like did you you guys watch that M
30171s	right we did we that was a map but I
30175s	mean if anything it shows I think that n
30177s	is they have an Incredible strength as a
30179s	team right it's not always about having
30181s	the perfect comp especially right now in
30182s	OverWatch I mean you might have a
30184s	slightly better comp that Advantage is
30185s	not going to give you a map win you need
30187s	to deliver on the execution front I'd
30189s	also say as well for NRG it's like been
30192s	a crazy day right I think it's been a
30193s	crazy day for just everybody crazy day
30196s	for me true right but for it to be your
30198s	first time like playing on stage at like
30199s	an event like this right uh know it's
30201s	got to be a lot of a of a day right so
30205s	uh I think this is just experence
30206s	erience that they can use moving forward
30208s	or already like a fan favorite type of
30209s	theme right I think kind of use it know
30212s	if they don't end up pulling a reverse
30213s	sweep is a as a positive looking
30216s	forward sure you want to if you want to
30218s	spin it like that this like this this is
30221s	aough situation we've already heard it
30224s	in the interview that they had with uh
30226s	Jake right like obviously there's nerves
30228s	if you're playing in front of a live
30229s	audience for the first time in your life
30231s	and then you're also dealing with hours
30232s	and hours of like teul and like just
30235s	just things which are clear out of your
30237s	hand it's hard to keep on rallying it's
30239s	hard to keep on getting yourself hyped
30240s	up and and like staying focused and
30242s	staying in the game in these situations
30244s	now playing with your back against the
30246s	wall as you're having one foot out of
30247s	the door and are on the brink of
30249s	elimination that's not easy so to
30251s	overcome that that takes a lot of mental
30253s	fortitude yeah I mean it's just uh I
30255s	mean I'm sure they can talk to it uh
30258s	like especially the first event you go
30260s	to I don't know if you ever played on
30261s	stage I don't know what you did but uh
30263s	the first time you did too you used to
30264s	be the first time you go to like an
30267s	event it is just you're so used to
30269s	competing whether it be like in your uh
30271s	the room at home or wherever uh that you
30274s	come to an event and it just absolutely
30277s	throws your like routine you know but
30279s	for a loop and it like takes like an
30282s	event or two to kind of like adjust get
30284s	getting a little bit of for land feels
30285s	like the G goes super fast when you're
30286s	up there as well I've only had a couple
30287s	times up in the B like I blink like a
30289s	map's over so like you can hardly get
30290s	your feet on your first couple times on
30292s	stage yeah you know one or two slip UPS
30294s	the team fight slips out of your fingers
30296s	and you're behind behind you don't know
30297s	what to do you have to find the way back
30298s	into the game and that's where I feel
30300s	like in a situation like this to be
30301s	honest the veterancy really shows itself
30303s	the teams with experien players and I
30305s	mean honestly that's what ANS went all
30307s	in on with this roster is experience um
30309s	I mean with the exception of ghost
30310s	really everyone has played at the
30312s	highest level I don't know I'm trying to
30314s	come up with analysis and I'm like when
30316s	does sleep schedule come into play like
30318s	who stays up later most night no no we
30320s	haven't about language bar yet this is
30322s	like Prime hours for some people I don't
30324s	know mean true not me I'm a boomer this
30327s	point but you know the kids out there
30328s	yeah you're an a to me
30331s	so that's true yeah actually a child
30335s	conversations I know where this is going
30337s	to be honest well actually I know where
30338s	it's going it's going to a quick break
30340s	because we're setting up to get this
30342s	game on its merry way once again so
30345s	please stick around bear with us as
30346s	we're trying to figure this out and we
30348s	shall be back with more action hopefully
30350s	very very soon
30354s	Esports 1 2 3
30358s	well I'm Mitch lley here with Matt Mel
30360s	we've managed to Wrangle our number two
30362s	seed from the EMA region it is an and
30365s	we're here to find out if it is indeed
30367s	too easy for an I'm sure you guys have
30369s	watched you know uh Ana pack how have
30371s	they played or there any teams that
30373s	you're kind of uh excited to see here uh
30376s	students of the game I want to see if
30378s	they can actually win a
30380s	map who's the worst traveler out of you
30382s	who would definitely get lost if they
30384s	had to do it on their own Kev what do
30386s	you mean
30387s	that was a quick answer fast that was a
30389s	quick answer how does that make you feel
30391s	defense this is
30393s	bull what's your journey been like
30395s	obviously having been a player for many
30397s	years into a a coaching role I was
30399s	always kind of like very active in terms
30401s	of like strategy and stuff like that so
30403s	it's something that I've always been
30404s	interested in and honestly like moving
30406s	into like the coaching role now it feels
30407s	very natural to me like kind of like
30409s	gather the troops and like create ideas
30411s	like create things out of thin air like
30412s	start to cook and stuff like that how's
30414s	he been as a coach
30419s	really really would you guys say that
30422s	you're like a
30423s	more like low energy
30429s	team I want you all to point to who you
30431s	think is the best player on the team one
30434s	two
30437s	3 I like this these two kind of kind of
30440s	sweet yeah I like that I think Falcons
30443s	said that they felt that you guys were
30446s	one of the we weak opponents to take on
30448s	at this event I think it's funny for
30450s	them to say that when despite all the
30452s	resources they have they almost didn't
30453s	make it here so it's pretty funny I mean
30457s	I see them as pretty weak as well here's
30458s	what we're doing we're we're lassoing
30460s	we're going to get one of these chairs
30461s	and you guys get a couple tries this one
30463s	here to get the freaking lasso on one of
30465s	the poles right yeah lasso lass lasso is
30470s	is it lasso oh is it
30475s	lasso oh
30477s	good look at
30484s	this wait how are you supposed to let
30487s	all the whole thing yeah yeah you go
30489s	look at that
30496s	slack oh that's easy maybe should make
30499s	it longer for every that's all we've got
30500s	time for it thank you so much guys for
30502s	joining us I'm sure that was you guys

30525s	a dream come true like especially
30527s	repping like NRG and and the shock cuz

30541s	like I've never played on a new setup
30543s	apparently my mouse pad and all that
30545s	stuff like the mouse pad that's that's a
30547s	that's a different topic that's we don't
30549s	want to talk about that dog looking at
30551s	some of the other teams here uh in in
30553s	the tournament who are you looking at as
30555s	like the the scariest most elite

30560s	get these dubs I will be crazy racco all
30563s	right call shots again that's confidence
30566s	like I think Falcons are the strongest
30568s	right now but apparently like a lot of
30570s	the other teams are like you know
30571s	Falcons are beatable but for some reason
30574s	we're better against like some teams and
30575s	they're better against other teams
30576s	infected scissors any any team you're
30578s	looking to beat or just just comment to

30931s	shot can play this Winston comp so far
30933s	it's look okay but we've actually seen
30935s	encope for that Diva composition after
30937s	initially you know trying for a sigma on
30940s	offense uh all right so uh oh actually
30942s	going to re we're just going to go for
30943s	the beginning yeah looks like we're just
30944s	going to get a complete restart okay uh
30946s	so scissors makes his way from the
30949s	payload by the ship all the way
30952s	back towards the spawn now as uh sh on
30956s	defense here so uh what they did the
30958s	last time was TP Sigma cross right uh
30962s	they they run the sigma at least know if
30964s	you're going off of the first half of
30966s	the game I know that we saw earlier uh
30969s	until whether it be the [ __ ] phase or
30971s	you know they kind of lose control of
30973s	The High Ground and then they end up
30975s	going over towards that Diva uh if
30977s	you're here in the venue you know that
30978s	Jake doesn't love that c uh if you're at
30981s	home you completely miss that probably
30982s	but now you're not but uh now you know
30985s	good another bonade K is sick on yeah
30988s	and they're still coming PG I guess
30990s	drops down there maybe to get a better
30991s	shot so far very much playing out of his
30995s	sight
30995s	lines K not really exposing himself
30998s	without that deflex available now we'll
31001s	see the Defenders Dro down and I'm
31004s	mindful of who might be above them
31005s	though keer will have to go up and check
31008s	oh there it is ghost is down no morality
31011s	field no
31013s	bti it's a really difficult position
31015s	right the last time they actually got
31017s	the payLo pretty far like past even the
31019s	server room and then they switched over
31021s	to that Diva uh but when you have that
31023s	Sigma now you're kind of stuck in that
31026s	tunnel and they can operate from both
31028s	sides especially with the Wiston who can
31029s	jump down uh very difficult to get
31032s	around and a not giving it much room
31035s	Masa has to create it for himself but
31037s	instantly in fact post back up on that
31039s	High Ground P one there imortality field
31041s	had to be used look how low Boler is
31042s	though that drone is not going to stay
31044s	up forever and Nora ends they can run
31047s	down I I I'd expect a swap potentially
31050s	here uh from the solo we'll see if we
31053s	get it but uh I I I think you just kind
31056s	of root forcing Sigma there towards that
31058s	High Ground could be quite difficult but
31060s	we saw them have really good success
31061s	with the diva as well
31066s	so defle there from Kev sing off these
31069s	shots from
31070s	PG as it have to slowly make their way
31072s	up and they got to respect this
31076s	P playing a little bit aggressively
31077s	behind that infr sight ends have to
31080s	cross they don't have a symmetra as well
31082s	to get the sigma up there oh Master you
31086s	know better than that I was about to say
31089s	even with the Lucio it's taking a lot of
31090s	time is
31092s	uh and without the Lucio it's almost
31094s	impossible to cross this Gap as NRG shot
31098s	they've come alive after our little
31101s	PA yeah they definitely feel much more
31103s	comfortable on this run back jabola
31106s	he goes picks his head out for a moment
31108s	takes about 70 HP worth of damage K just
31111s	trying to run interference but it is
31112s	tough it is slow going FL PGE caught
31115s	inside of that anybody else no PGE still
31117s	alive not enough damage done to the
31119s	Widow while they were held the L and
31120s	another double bio this time from C the
31123s	both DPS of an they're going to have to
31124s	go for a sound barrier yeah I mean it's
31126s	imortality buil in the sound barrier
31128s	infected po Primal it's not up yeah
31131s	enough not going to be able to keep him
31132s	alive as infected use of the Primal just
31134s	to stay in the back line a little bit
31135s	longer then scissor finished on
31138s	KN scissor now B his time what a stick
31141s	oh he gets two Kai might have helped him
31143s	out a little bit there but I
31146s	digress like a completely different game
31148s	now it's uh in with now switches over to
31152s	Diva so probably just want to get a use
31154s	of the flux he was like about 80% the
31157s	last time going into that push so ends
31159s	up using the PL now goes over the div I
31161s	think you need desperately uh you know
31164s	to get access towards this High ground
31166s	and put some more pressure as they fight
31168s	up towards it he's going to get D though
31170s	yeah the diva hasn't really looked much
31172s	better than a sign so far PG Under
31174s	Pressure CER make sure of ITA though got
31177s	taken down after they came out of me but
31178s	Kai's able to trade it back at the Le so
31179s	no tanks on the map right
31182s	now okay what a head shot magma went in
31185s	there rack ATT doesn't get the rally on
31187s	line quickly enough cannot protect Cal
31190s	want T field there for ghost is an Now
31192s	set their stay to ground to go for this
31194s	first checkpoint
31195s	man here for Cal that's going to be
31197s	brutal to deal with surely infected
31199s	going to be the recipient now and he
31200s	steps up try and create some space it's
31203s	a de now for the shock down back away
31205s	behind the for Cliff the rack tack good
31207s	lock down from behind it that's a big
31208s	pick off for K there's a lot to work
31209s	with now PGE is down and an are in this
31212s	they are in this map still and they get
31216s	into the second phase of the map the
31217s	shuttle doors open yeah they try and get
31219s	a nano onto infected to keep him pretty
31222s	topped up healthy and on that payload
31224s	but it is not work out for NRG shock and
31227s	just like the last time it's a change
31229s	here so PGE will move over towards that
31232s	CID uh we like this decision the last
31235s	time we like it now better access uh
31238s	well not I mean just a little bit safer
31240s	here towards this K slept there I think
31242s	they look to try and follow it up with a
31244s	M grenade to make it so the Cassy could
31245s	roll on away but they didn't connect
31248s	it PGE absolutely slaying there m again
31253s	gets caught out it's Risky Business to
31255s	expose yourself to the Cy in that
31257s	fashion and illegal in many American
31260s	states there's a self-destruct PG able
31262s	to AV it for the time being but there's
31264s	not much for an to work with here the
31266s	Sol won't be allowed to get out of here
31267s	with much of a Mech left all right so
31269s	they don't actually get the DME again it
31272s	looks like as taking a little bit more
31274s	damage there as infected pushed on in so
31278s	this will be pretty difficult for INS
31279s	right a large gap to close here uh know
31282s	you do have defense Matrix but it
31283s	doesn't last know infinitely uh and they
31286s	just have the H of that shuttle
31288s	control okay infected going to be an
31291s	issue but Mar was waiting for it B was
31292s	there to redirect the win looking a dive
31294s	now the beat Kai doesn't benefit from it
31296s	for whatever reason but keer does and
31298s	he's able to use it to go that much more
31300s	aggressive three yeah that's a beautiful
31302s	blade absolutely
31304s	picturesque both supports plus Cassidy
31307s	hard to do better than
31308s	that that was quite nice right they use
31311s	that defense Matrix with the speed boost
31313s	they go towards that right hand side
31315s	going up towards the shuttle and then
31316s	once they get in position to attack they
31318s	end up using the sound barrier push out
31320s	that door forces everybody from the
31322s	shuttle down right in the C's
31325s	blade still The High Ground here for R
31328s	to make use of and instantly the
31329s	realizes he can't really hang around
31332s	here's the regroup cow was already
31333s	picked up but ke the gets out Scott free
31335s	or so he thought here's the Primal ra
31338s	been affected sees that that and Matrix
31340s	get throwing up he thinks better hanging
31342s	around Master pushing here PGE back but
31345s	ke to Falls Here and Now forced to play
31348s	in close quarters with from NRG PG has
31350s	to drop now Mara realizes they'll have
31353s	to back up but now the space is here to
31354s	make use of this Dead Eye bubble oh
31358s	beautiful what a knockout K able to
31360s	capitalize in a big way but an anab over
31362s	to PGE means that castle is a tough nut
31364s	to crack C's able to get involved here
31366s	it looks like this is the end of the
31368s	line for
31370s	an PG almost perfectly predicts the rear
31373s	call location it doesn't matter they get
31375s	rid of keor anyway and that's a stop for
31378s	his n
31380s	defense yeah they get hauled before that
31382s	second checkpoint
31384s	so now see them go on offense there
31387s	towards the end uh that was a really
31389s	nice B you kind of tell it was coming
31391s	from Masa where Kai's using that dead ey
31394s	walks up you kind of see Masa go to the
31395s	left hand side of the payload buba
31397s	player looked like also infected was
31399s	actually trying to put down a bubble
31400s	maybe even block it but uh just a really
31402s	nice play there from the veteran Lucio
31404s	player on and as now with the shock on
31409s	ourense we'll see if they can get
31410s	anything going on the topic your master
31413s	it feels like against Cassidy here you
31416s	don't really have enough time to react
31417s	if you get caught out in the open by
31419s	them usually with the way Lucio sort of
31421s	travels and floats through the air it's
31423s	pretty easy casty to pick you off with
31425s	multiple shots even if they're not head
31427s	shots saw that happen on a couple of
31430s	occasions and RG shock though now have
31432s	their win condition and have to turn
31434s	around and make this defense happen
31436s	behind the diva geni set
31439s	up and I mean benefit of this
31441s	composition here for end on defense
31443s	right they won't have to like make many
31444s	adjustments moving forward throughout
31446s	the map right so they'll be able to kind
31448s	of like hold on play ultimates for uh
31450s	the remainder of the M pretty much where
31453s	uh shot we've seen PG play some Widow
31455s	we've seen him play the city as well
31457s	what's up let uh see how much value you
31460s	get out of the Widowmaker here at the
31461s	start of the game he
31465s	3 two all
31468s	right this is how n stay alive in this
31471s	series Force an to choose a m for
31473s	themselves
31474s	potentially straight away PG up to The
31476s	High Ground kevster needs to really get
31479s	in this widow's face otherwise we be
31481s	doing this just chilling taking pot
31483s	shots this has to be
31487s	contested yeah I mean it's impossible
31489s	for ke to get this right you're trying
31492s	to wait for a little bit of a better
31494s	position oh okay so finally connects and
31498s	now keer gets right ing gr yeah maybe if
31500s	he's able to find that first shot it's a
31502s	different story but then very very clean
31505s	and they also pick their dive timing
31506s	well to isolate Rack Attack first it's a
31510s	huge deal I was a bit surprised to end
31512s	up picking that kill off on Masa right
31515s	Masa going to pick on that side wall
31517s	there mean Flo a lot as Lucio DG makes a
31521s	swap right off of that Widow just going
31523s	to give it one try out of the spawn St
31525s	gets in a really odd spot got hit with a
31527s	hinder but he's cycling the dive quite
31529s	effectively able to get away Master
31531s	again caught by hit scan this time PG is
31533s	on a Cassy can you respond to this if
31536s	your end ke so low and V was here a bade
31539s	and shot playing this Perfection buta
31542s	gets away with this oh they would have
31544s	loved to have punished the diva yeah you
31546s	probably play now from server room right
31548s	you're going to get back to full
31549s	strength as marel get back in the fight
31550s	you have a ant Matrix to use from there
31553s	looks like they went for the sleep a
31554s	little early with the def like animation
31556s	up but it doesn't hit so much pressure
31558s	on the backline but both teams are doing
31559s	it no supports left for NRG shock and
31562s	it's Master still standing for in fact
31564s	they can't go any further here there's
31565s	no one to top him back up we'll need to
31568s	run it back once
31570s	more so now uh now you get into a really
31574s	odd spot here for shock right uh nothing
31577s	to really work with do you want to play
31579s	for server room right cuz like you can
31581s	still like give a lot of space your your
31583s	in
31586s	cross server room taken up here byg
31589s	shock but letting him all the way in oh
31592s	it doesn't matter scissors will make his
31593s	own entrance great pulse bomb there but
31597s	covered up by ghost Kai is able to play
31599s	back now behind this Dead Eye the rally
31601s	no oh man scissors freaking me
31605s	out Nano onu infected here maybe towards
31608s	that High Ground yeah ex and he's
31610s	looking sees a sound bar now so has to
31612s	ask the question how do he how does he
31614s	be effective here despite that blade was
31616s	looking for wack attack but he already
31618s	went down and have got another stop in
31620s	the here got the check got the yes they
31624s	end up getting the checkpoint as you see
31626s	kepts are like trying to get back
31627s	towards the payload it looked like maybe
31630s	the player was actually on it there for
31632s	in ended up falling and then H you don't
31635s	actually have somebody out there to
31636s	cycle it so you give up that checkpoint
31638s	as uh now you're in an odd spot cuz fire
31641s	still all here it's an ant Matrix you
31643s	this far up do this doing well to make
31645s	use of it the 8 straight
31649s	there looks like it definitely a
31651s	unconventional spot to throw that
31653s	Baptist ultimate up and then to make it
31655s	work it is tough though let me just set
31657s	expectations here very hard for the
31659s	Defenders to hold out for 37 on this
31662s	part of the map but I've seen it
31667s	happen they can barely get through the
31669s	door at the moment right as uh the sto
31673s	just kind of uh putting pressure on the
31675s	payload is that they haven't even
31677s	allowed them to get through the door Kai
31678s	with two k with
31681s	three like uncontested C I mean en have
31685s	to respect K they cannot let this
31687s	happen I mean they're just bullying him
31690s	front the spawn door right me you're
31692s	playing diva in those chokes uh it's
31694s	tough for Winston to break through
31695s	without Primal CA hits very hard with
31697s	the micro rockets at that kind of range
31699s	as well and actually shock have to take
31701s	a different approach here maybe man one
31703s	infected cyle that into Primal or the
31705s	other way around either way you need to
31708s	get to git with right now yeah I mean
31710s	they're trying to get some control on
31711s	the opposite side High Ground here at
31713s	least trying to force them back towards
31715s	the shuttle okay Prim here for infected
31717s	I think C might have preferred to get a
31719s	nano first but that's not how it works
31720s	out self-destruct here for p ends up
31722s	being a me reset and whist is Down K had
31726s	n up perhaps that was the intended for
31728s	infected after Primal but he had no
31729s	chance to receive it another multi-kill
31732s	fight for Kai but the sidelines AR right
31735s	for him presently he's able to adjust
31737s	it's on it's Ano on a rack here with the
31740s	rally and you have infected coming back
31742s	off a spawn so maybe they're just trying
31744s	to take advantage of an pushing up a
31746s	little bit too far here oh an don't
31748s	count your chickens the st's able to run
31750s	rack ATT attack down though we have to
31751s	give up his Mech as a result this will
31753s	be a fight win for NRG shot yes you take
31755s	advantage of V playing really aggressive
31757s	you Nano that rri as the rally going
31760s	infected comes back off of Spawn they
31761s	end up getting both supports now they
31764s	have an opportunity to steal the m 1
31766s	minute 32 though not a lot to work with
31769s	the N have a veriable war chest at their
31772s	disposal and drop from The High Ground
31773s	now with a a matrix set up it scissors
31776s	from the low ground he disrespects the
31778s	air Matrix audacious is putting it
31780s	lightly and ening shocker going to run
31783s	it's over jaala will be
31788s	[Applause]
31790s	their some signs of life here from the
31793s	Shar
31795s	our interviews go see if they can win a
31797s	m they take one off of them there's one
31800s	as uh now they get on their road to a
31802s	reverse sweep right still a long way to
31804s	go to make that a reality but uh this
31807s	one was obviously essential yeah huge
31809s	confidence boost here not only is the
31812s	energy Shock first map win at this event
31814s	but the First on stage it's going to
31816s	help with some of those nerves here
31820s	but but now and get to choose a map of
31825s	their very own one of which they feel
31828s	like they're suited one of which they
31829s	perhaps feel
31830s	like they can put some pressure on
31832s	Infected hero
31834s	pool I I think it's more of what they're
31837s	comfortable of playing right uh I I
31839s	don't think it's more of like uh oh
31842s	let's see where we can take you know
31843s	shock and you know what what infected
31846s	sdes to play I think it's more of okay
31847s	where can we go that Sigma based
31850s	compositions right are the absolute
31852s	go-to so we run it back we got halfway
31855s	through this map and threw a bit of a
31857s	reset in here and this time around NRG
31858s	shot looked much more confident the
31860s	picks from wiow were very very good PG
31862s	was up to nuisance the defensive dive
31865s	set up constantly frustrated this slow
31868s	moving grouped up Sigma composition that
31870s	we saw an try to make work on this map
31873s	eventually an make some progress right
31875s	and break through but not before moments
31876s	like this it had to be keer again
31879s	showing us why he's one of the most
31881s	notable DPS players one the most
31883s	flexible in the over 12 yeah some really
31886s	nice bios from Cal though uh changed a
31890s	lot of the fights and uh we take a clip
31892s	here from PG e uh PG definitely seemed
31895s	like sort of find his footing there on
31897s	the Cassy towards the
31900s	end so these moments here this is a
31902s	punish on
31903s	Mara a little bit slow but the switch of
31905s	the Cy match great point I mean this is
31908s	there's that there's an air Matrix up
31909s	there he doesn't care eyes unhinged and
31913s	it worked out perfectly able to play
31915s	from behind that Winston bubble for just
31916s	as long as it held up a real back and
31919s	forth game I mean you can see these two
31920s	teams very closely matched and In
31922s	fairness there wasn't a lot of time left
31925s	in the bank for NRG as they ended things
31928s	but they got there one on the board and
31930s	we already have escort in hybrid out of
31933s	the pool right so now you have the game
31936s	modes with not a ton of map selection in
31939s	the mix right uh know what you're going
31941s	to go surasa potentially or you're going
31944s	to like a coloso or something along
31946s	those lines right so uh not many awesome
31949s	selections uh if you are uh
31953s	it's what do you
31955s	pick
31957s	F you don't want to play against win
31959s	comps you want to force Sig I don't
31961s	think you want I don't think you want to
31963s	play flasho I think you're opting for
31966s	either uh Kaliso or esparon either one
31969s	of those two H uh I I don't think you'd
31972s	want to say it's going to be ser boss
31976s	right I mean that is uh that is not the
31977s	way to
31979s	go first game on stage PGE already
31982s	figured well inally out how to work the
31984s	crowd a lot of energy here on his NRG so
31988s	team I've got to say in now been dragged
31991s	into a much longer confrontation than
31993s	they expected it's going to be
31995s	surasa and I I made the same face that
31998s	sh in Johnny made we were like okay all
32001s	right here we go so uh look I mean
32005s	flasho right it allows you to just kind
32007s	of instock the Lucio which they
32008s	obviously love to do play their Baptist
32010s	across it but I do feel like this opens
32012s	things up for a lot of other things that
32015s	NRG shock can play quite
32019s	well no doubt about it gives them
32021s	multiple options they don't I mean we've
32024s	seen yeah like a lot of the the more
32026s	brawl oriented compositions you don't
32029s	have to play Sigma here we you
32030s	definitely don't see doomfist at times
32033s	picked up on this map sojan generally
32036s	something that you want to try and get
32037s	involved also see some other brw
32040s	compositions that you can make use of
32041s	can you can you play Win realistically I
32045s	mean you can we have seen in the past
32047s	right but if the other team's going to I
32049s	mean if the other team's going to play
32050s	Sigma you could try it but like I think
32052s	you could also just play ma right I mean
32055s	we we've seen MAA versus Sigma have
32057s	really good results here uh so far this
32060s	weekend where M always seems to find
32062s	himself back in the mix uh where I I
32066s	wouldn't be surprised if that's like
32067s	what NRG shark decides to do okay it's
32070s	worked out pretty well for them so far
32071s	we've seen endet times maybe having to
32074s	risk mirroring that I don't know if
32076s	that's where they want to be but we've
32077s	seen we've seen teams obviously struggle
32079s	against the the pace at the MGA
32081s	composition brings s earlier on stage on
32084s	antartic Peninsula for example trying to
32086s	play this Sigma composition get Smurf on
32088s	the malga was very very tough they often
32090s	had space taken away from them they
32091s	couldn't dictate the pace of the fights
32093s	they definitely couldn't set up poke
32095s	down and then go for the kill so it's
32097s	going to be a decent option here for
32099s	this NRG shock team and it's a good sign
32101s	I mean endstone really have great maps
32105s	to choose from with what remains in the
32106s	pool yeah but I I I think though like
32108s	you're much I'd rather much if you're
32111s	enrgy shock I'd much rather see this
32114s	than like a coloso right where you're in
32116s	this long range Sigma poke battle K long
32120s	range with like a hit scan right and
32122s	then no push can become pretty snowbally
32124s	right they win first fight they win
32125s	second fight then all of a sudden now
32127s	you're just playing a game of know
32128s	chicken away from from the bot for ages
32131s	so like I think like this is probably
32134s	like you know if you're trying to get to
32135s	a game five this is probably like best
32137s	case
32138s	scenario and see course are the ones
32140s	that uh you know coming to this tour
32142s	with a bit of confidence here they say
32143s	you know like we we feel like yeah maybe
32145s	we're not the most flexible team but we
32147s	will adapt our our compositions and our
32149s	style to work on even maps that are
32150s	hostile to it now we saw that play out
32152s	on jalta and it was still close right we
32155s	also saw that play out on rout 66 from
32157s	between them and space station it was
32159s	also close so they can make it work on
32161s	some of those more hostile Maps which
32164s	really speaks to just how very good they
32165s	are at playing these comps and you know
32167s	how they would maybe do with the
32168s	battlefield Su them a little bit more
32170s	but yeah we're getting to the point in
32171s	the series now where like a really
32172s	strong Maps they were from game types in
32174s	maps two and three but they didn't have
32176s	the option to go to those anymore
32177s	they're very good at the sigma based
32179s	compositions and uh they just haven't
32181s	reached like space stations hit a point
32184s	with like it feels like Reinhardt based
32185s	stuff where like they can run it in any
32187s	meta and somehow make it work they
32188s	haven't H that point yet where they're
32190s	kind of like oh well it doesn't matter
32191s	what everybody else plays like we're
32192s	just going to play this and make it work
32195s	uh it still seems like there are some
32197s	opportunities to really give them
32200s	trouble which I think if you're you know
32202s	energy shock and infected I think you
32203s	have some options right you can play
32205s	like uh you know maybe it's that Winston
32207s	I think you probably play M though I
32208s	think MOG is probably the safest here
32210s	and we've already seen Falcons although
32212s	obviously seems like a team that is way
32214s	ahead of you know where shark is at the
32216s	moment I give in some trouble
32219s	unsurprisingly no substitutions here for
32221s	either of these
32222s	squads coming into surasa and let me
32226s	remind people this is an elimination
32228s	match in a shock's first game on stage
32230s	might be their last and have had some
32233s	time to warm up here it would be it
32235s	would be an upset to see them depart the
32237s	tournament on day one this end team is
32239s	expected to make a dent at the very
32241s	least in the
32242s	competition so time for shape Po and see
32245s	if they can end the series before n
32246s	shock run away with it and you start to
32249s	feel like uh with how much kind of like
32252s	sanf Fair energy shock has here uh this
32255s	weekend in terms of like crowd support
32257s	that if they win this incendio do a uh a
32260s	fifth
32261s	game a lot of pressure is going to be on
32264s	ends front of an NA crowd and AR shock
32267s	deely
32269s	field they're in home ground we're going
32271s	to listening the N shock here let's see
32273s	what the the plan is going to this last
32275s	with this fourth M got got fast
32279s	BS this guy has texture on one side on
32282s	the other
32288s	NRG I don't see I think right I thought
32292s	we were listening
32293s	on
32298s	sised all right I'm not
32300s	chilling left call their back B okay
32303s	their is behind like he's
32306s	rank you guys ready three two one I'm in
32310s	I'm in I'm in I bubbl need help
32313s	I'm I'm out I'm out I'm out I'm out I'm
32315s	out I'm out I'm out I'm out chasing me
32317s	chasing me under chasing CH I can go
32320s	again
32323s	ready one one cast one cast one cast
32326s	one all right that's okay
32329s	nice honest I
32331s	think okay back up it's F my head I'm
32334s	saying I'm saying monkey I'm saying
32336s	monkey monkey at least at least it's t
32338s	Prim at that F fine wait when I spors
32341s	shoot to my left I'm on your left I'm on
32344s	your I'm on your left I'm on your left
32346s	pause uh pause pause pause pause pause
32348s	pause pause we need pause we need pause
32349s	we need pause pause pause they're
32355s	walkinging D you always kill me when
32356s	you're like is that instance
32358s	comes oh
32361s	man a pause yeah they uh they call for
32365s	pause eorts
32367s	baby yeah that was actually the first
32370s	pause listening we've heard
32373s	they like they are trying to play
32375s	Winston on this map though yes it's a
32376s	good point until they have Primal then
32378s	maybe they'll
32380s	switch nah they'll play Winston they win
32384s	I believe in them yeah I maybe the venue
32386s	a little bit hard to hear the coms but
32388s	we obviously heard them pretty upbeat
32389s	here uh in general with NRG shock team
32392s	uh that first fight there doesn't work
32393s	out for them all that well right get
32394s	picked off before they can actually sort
32396s	of make the dive and that's the risk
32397s	like you don't have a safe place to play
32399s	from with this dive composition
32400s	especially that that first point so
32402s	we're un pausing the game in just a
32403s	moment looks like our players are still
32405s	ready to roll little tactical time out
32407s	little Tac all right I'm hearing the
32409s	game sounds that means we're going to be
32411s	back in here to
32413s	surasa it was an of course that win that
32415s	first fight by picking off rack and AR
32418s	shot got to get back in suu straight
32422s	away here as we uh jump back in just
32423s	going to keep
32425s	Alive by Cal they caught in the corner
32428s	there in looking in a pretty good spot
32431s	to take first cor it's an ugly start for
32432s	NRG shock man I think we've got to be
32434s	honest about it uh they're not even on
32438s	the flash point they're a long way
32441s	away I don't really see n being a to
32444s	contest this to a great degree they're
32446s	going to have one last
32448s	chance he's infected trying to wrap
32450s	around the outside can you touch yes and
32453s	there's an D you just got blown up oh my
32457s	that is just a lot of damage com on here
32459s	so I wonder now if you swap this here if
32461s	you're inrg shot like they talked about
32464s	maybe staying on that Winston until
32466s	Primal you can pretty much play the same
32468s	comp but just with like m in the mix
32470s	right I know you can play this uh with
32473s	Tracer soj you can uh bring a venture
32475s	into the mix if you wanted to right if
32477s	you switch to the maanga gives you a
32478s	little bit of some other options here
32481s	but seems like we'll get another go here
32483s	with that win know he sound getting
32485s	aggressive here for ends as they push
32487s	into the back line yeah not a great
32488s	start here for n shock once more tius
32491s	even if he might stuck that pulse it
32493s	would have been kind of hard to convert
32495s	that into a fight win with the sound
32496s	barrier in
32497s	play so Flash Point opening up key in
32500s	already won that first fight and
32502s	critically have that gravitic flux
32504s	headed into the
32506s	next yes I think they may even catch the
32509s	Shar off guard there a little bit right
32511s	using that sber getting aggressive and
32513s	there's nothing on the other side that
32515s	you're like worried about so you can use
32516s	that sun be to be a little bit more
32518s	offensive nothing like a dragon blade
32520s	that you need to hold on to it for
32521s	here's the flux C going to be caught
32522s	inside that who else is the question spe
32525s	ke low yeah great response there from n
32527s	shark infected with a primal range now
32529s	but looking a little bit low Woods here
32530s	as well yeah energy shock in control but
32533s	effective had to give up his La for it
32535s	is that worth
32536s	it dead ik here now for Kai space
32539s	Creator as PG has to play a very tight
32541s	little off angle and cow still got
32543s	caught oh this is is disastrous for n
32546s	Kai has been heating up uh it feels like
32549s	as this Series has gone on longer his
32551s	play has gotten better as H now we see
32553s	the swap here so uh this is exactly what
32555s	I was talking about right you can play
32557s	majority of what you already had with a
32559s	MOG in the mix yeah they're going to
32561s	bring an adventure with a tracer so uh
32564s	this a pretty solid composition we've
32565s	seen this composition uh all be it for
32568s	Falcons give in some
32570s	trouble 82% counting so one more chance
32573s	here for R IG shock on this point can
32576s	they make it work all right scissors
32578s	hinded briefly able to now head
32580s	Subterranean very low is infected though
32583s	that stick up it's going to seal the
32585s	deal a beautiful one from ker at Matrix
32587s	from up on high means it's half for the
32589s	shock to play safely over on the point
32591s	oh buddy that is another actually one an
32594s	AR shock up to make a big PP switch
32597s	don't have any ultimat to play with
32598s	there and that's the downside of maybe
32601s	staying on that Winston a little bit too
32603s	long right you don't really give
32605s	yourself a fair shot here with this
32607s	composition here towards the end now
32608s	you're going to make even more changes
32610s	here right so you're going to kind of
32612s	reset the ultimate status of about four
32613s	players across the board here as uh they
32616s	will play ratra kind of Rush here into
32622s	the M grenade being respected by n shot
32626s	Happ to put some pressure in the form of
32627s	ratra on that Sigma but o buddy yep that
32631s	is a very dead ratra us to the there and
32636s	the immortality field just a little bit
32638s	light there doesn't save
32641s	infected cheeky
32643s	C enjoyed that hide in a bush
32647s	there so the push comes in quite fast
32650s	there right scissors gets to main wall
32652s	thinks they have uh know this solo can
32654s	it right definitely not he ends up using
32657s	a flux can acing out and it catches
32659s	infected you lose your tank they got
32661s	Dage on infected
32664s	and they are rationing their ultimates
32665s	really well I mean n shock don't even
32667s	have a beat Advantage coming into this
32670s	fight rack attacks POV now thrown down
32673s	sort of cre in one of his teammates I
32674s	think and has to throw that in master
32676s	Happ to reciprocate though pul bomb goes
32678s	off in front of Kai that was keper
32680s	trying to find pchas there and siss this
32682s	is the first casualty okay trade is good
32685s	and then oh the timing on the morality
32688s	wasn't enough to keep Kai alive infected
32690s	now showing us why ratra so deadly in
32692s	Long the fight up in
32695s	go will keep ke the standing though and
32696s	this is then still ticking up in capture
32698s	percentage yes numbers disadvantage but
32701s	I don't T to get rid of this Trier what
32703s	a nuisance keer is being yeah keer still
32705s	here with ghost ghost also has an amp
32708s	Matrix though I don't know if please
32709s	kill keer please I don't know you're
32711s	going to be able to push into this
32712s	you're going to have to wait for just a
32714s	brief second to get back at full
32715s	strength for shock this is going to be
32716s	final fight at no point did end give up
32719s	the point even with a huge play this
32721s	advant they've got another flux just
32723s	throw to the
32725s	guarantee yourself that elimination at
32727s	that flanking flux I like it C could be
32729s	in trouble if there's no drone and there
32731s	isn't immortality F unavailable and that
32733s	two for a staller Still Point was
32734s	flipped during that fight and now has to
32736s	return they will infected has to throw
32738s	up the Dukes but this has been a
32740s	one-sided
32741s	Affair
32743s	surasa a great map pick for and in IG
32746s	shock unfortunately are out of gas and
32750s	eliminated from owcs Dallas major
32753s	[Applause]
32755s	it is a strong showing from end there
32758s	towards the end playing that Sigma comp
32760s	to an extremely high level and HG shun
32763s	they tried a bunch of different stuff
32765s	against it just was not able to come out
32767s	on top in the end yeah I'm glad we got
32769s	like they attempted to make the Winston
32771s	work we saw the malga come in the ratra
32774s	even tried but and this is a map they
32776s	were happy to play that Sigma
32778s	composition gets a hell of a lot of
32780s	mileage in the hands of these guys
32783s	they're veterans they're Talent
32784s	they've been around for a long time they
32786s	can handle Tech paes they can handle
32788s	losing a map I've seen it all yeah and
32791s	look for an you're expected to go
32793s	further into the tournament right uh
32795s	this is a a result that I think people
32797s	expected uh for NRG shock this is a a
32800s	great experience right you come in here
32803s	uh you you have like a big or gun
32805s	bailing right it's your first land for a
32807s	lot of these players right it's a it's a
32808s	completely new experience and you think
32810s	it only gets better from here uh but for
32813s	an this is uh you know business as usual
32816s	right you know they should be taking
32817s	care of teams like this come together
32819s	put together a pretty good performance
32821s	here uh know dealing with a lot today
32823s	yeah I think and happa has set
32824s	expectations for themselves quite high
32827s	as far as they themselves are concerned
32828s	and also how the fans are they said yes
32830s	we are the number two seed in this
32831s	region but we expect to put some real
32834s	pressure down on both other regions but
32837s	I don't know that first game of the day
32839s	makes me question whether they can make
32840s	that Deep Run they're hoping for let's
32843s	head back to the deathto to talk about
32844s	in this series but we see of course our
32846s	beloved students of the game n shot
32848s	eliminated and ANS will advance in the
32850s	lower bracket that's right gentlemen but
32853s	energy did not go down without a fight a
32856s	love that we got to see them crawling
32857s	back on jalta after quite a pause as
32860s	well so again that shows the mental
32862s	fortitude that they do have for them to
32865s	clean out their act if you will because
32866s	the initial start on the map you know
32869s	could have been considered more on the
32870s	shaky side but for them to come back
32873s	rally the troops and then actually drive
32875s	it home that is still a great
32876s	performance so while they are the first
32878s	team we have to say goodbye to they had
32881s	a great performance in stage two in the
32883s	main event obviously the tower got here
32885s	so let's take a look at the highlights
32886s	and discuss uh what went down on this
32889s	four map series I mean this first map
32892s	really made me a Believer I think NRG
32894s	shock pulled out some impressive
32895s	performances winning the first round
32897s	making the next two extremely
32898s	competitive extremely close a lot of
32900s	these fights went the distance but as
32902s	the series went on we did start to feel
32904s	the veteran presence from the DPS
32906s	especially of team mens Kai and petster
32908s	consistently delivering kill after kill
32911s	Staying Alive late into the fight I feel
32913s	this was a big breakout series for ghost
32914s	as well who looked very very solid very
32917s	composed he's the one who's being put
32918s	under so much pressure against these di
32920s	comps against the malar rush and he came
32922s	up looking really really clean this
32923s	series not too many mistakes out of it
32926s	yeah overall though I I I think energ I
32928s	think we can be really excited about
32929s	them uh moving forward in the careers
32931s	and you know energy as well you know
32933s	back in the OverWatch League that was a
32935s	team that bets on young talent and
32937s	promising Future Stars right and I feel
32939s	like we're seeing much of similar stuff
32940s	here with uh nerg shock of course so
32942s	even though you lose to NC here in a
32944s	pretty Bittersweet series you know have
32946s	to deal with the Jal reset as well um
32949s	but this is a young team lots of
32950s	promising talents so so many fun
32953s	characters on this NRG team so despite
32955s	the fact that they go down in this
32956s	series they have much to look forward to
32958s	uh in the future for the rest of 2024
32960s	but you know maybe even potentially 2025
32962s	you know some of these players are like
32963s	17 years old right like infected for
32965s	example and infected is a huge promising
32967s	talent in the North American scene so
32969s	I'm looking for what what they can do
32970s	for Endo I mean they're looking forward
32972s	into the bracket and I feel like um if
32974s	if I'm correct I feel like in the rest
32976s	of the bracket they're potentially
32977s	looking to play either crazy raccoon or
32979s	Tonto defiant so they got pry tough test
32981s	on their hands we'll see what the
32983s	matchup will be tomorrow uh but for NC
32985s	Sports you know they if they they got to
32987s	improve on what they show against Falon
32989s	that's where you got to take a look you
32990s	got to go through the Vault I know it's
32991s	been an incredibly long day for but more
32993s	I think they could have been asked for
32995s	uh but it's been a really long day and
32997s	you need to look at that Falcon series
32998s	what we can do we do better against some
33000s	of these Asian teams that match foro
33002s	obviously a short turnaround right uh if
33005s	you're working under these kind of
33008s	um conditions uh with such a long day
33011s	what do you even focus on is are you
33013s	actually going back to the VA dungeons
33014s	or are you more looking just at your own
33016s	game to see what you should improve upon
33019s	honestly right now if I'm team an I'm
33021s	sending if I'm coaching I'm sending the
33022s	players to bed I'm sending them just
33024s	like rest recover all that matters is
33026s	your individual performance for the next
33028s	day that's all you need to worry about
33029s	to be honest I think the people who got
33030s	to bear this burden are the coaches I
33032s	think it's going to be on crimzo to get
33033s	in the lab and come up with what needs
33035s	to change what needs to iterate you need
33037s	the players fresh tomorrow to deliver
33039s	just mechanically strong performances if
33041s	you don't have that the best strategy in
33043s	the world is not going to save you
33044s	OverWatch 2 you've got to deliver on the
33045s	individual level they did that today in
33047s	a very long day but I want them to to be
33050s	able to you know continue that going
33051s	tomorrow so especially hit scan like Kai
33054s	keer we got to get these guys in Prime
33055s	condition to continue the run and then I
33058s	think yeah on it's going to be a lot of
33059s	pressure on crimo can he find an answer
33061s	to what these Korean teams are bringing
33062s	tomorrow the run in the lower bracket
33063s	continues yeah I mean not their first
33065s	rodeo uh they' are vetan players they've
33068s	all been uh in these kind of positions
33071s	before so let's see if they can keep the
33072s	grind up as they are as you said
33074s	continuing they running the lower
33075s	bracket but for now let's talk about one
33078s	player who pulled ahead who earns our
33081s	Porsche performance of the match
33084s	it is
33085s	Kai I mean I think this guy showed why
33088s	team Falcons is diving him at the start
33090s	of every fight if you leave this guy
33092s	alive for 10 seconds of the fight you're
33094s	going to see bodies hitting the floor so
33096s	incredibly consistent on the Cassidy
33098s	he's been around for years and he's been
33100s	a shining star for pretty much that
33102s	entire time you can see why NS went with
33104s	Kai as their hit scan for this star
33105s	studded European roster yeah I mean ever
33107s	since the Valiant days in 2020 right KSP
33110s	back then uh you know kai has been a
33112s	stand out player uh for this roster and
33114s	now again the hit scan capabilities that
33117s	is why you got to look out for this
33118s	player you can see here on the banks on
33119s	the Cassidy hitting these great shots
33121s	and can play both the soldier and a
33123s	cassid at a really high level so now
33125s	when you reset and look forward to
33126s	tomorrow it's about you and ghost 9 to1
33128s	staying together in the backline and
33129s	trying to find some of these pickoffs
33131s	we've seen some of these really extreme
33133s	teams being able to pick off players
33135s	like k for example but now I really do
33137s	think that he had the capabilities in a
33138s	really topheavy match in an elite level
33140s	match against some of the best te can
33142s	play in the world Kai is one of those
33143s	players that good could go head to-head
33146s	so now it's about getting that rest like
33147s	Jake said and showing up tomorrow and
33149s	playing some of the best overs you can
33150s	I'm sure that's exactly what they will
33152s	be doing however as they get to rest
33154s	we're not quiet there yet we still have
33157s	one more match to go let's actually take
33160s	a look at our bracket to see where we
33162s	are currently at we fought our ways
33164s	through the upper bracket some teams got
33167s	to get out early and get ready for the
33169s	next day now we have still one more
33171s	match to go and that is in our lower
33173s	Brack and that means this is also an
33176s	elimination match we will be saying
33177s	goodbye to either M80 or to Twisted mind
33182s	next of course both of them have lost
33184s	their first series of the day both of
33187s	them took that L and both of them have
33189s	to come back quickly and recover from
33191s	that loss I'm going to keep it super
33193s	real with y'all keep it a this is going
33195s	to be a quick one twisted Minds not
33198s	scrimming with this roster they're
33199s	playing with a different roster in face
33200s	it Masters due to some you know losing
33202s	some players un bble to maintain the
33204s	roster that brought them so much success
33206s	in the first stage of owcs they
33208s	qualified but the team here today is a
33210s	shell of their former self I think this
33213s	for M80 really this is like this is a a
33215s	a value check for M80 like you should
33217s	just be absolutely beating this team
33219s	down yeah it might have been a long day
33221s	but there's no excuse for this being a
33222s	competitive match this should be a
33224s	brutally one-sided three-oh stomp I
33227s	think IM Min wants to go home and get
33228s	some sleep and I think they're going to
33229s	come out aggressively in this series I
33230s	don't think they're going to be playing
33231s	around I know they they should not be
33233s	playing around let's see if they can get
33235s	it done and continue their run here in
33237s	our tournament now we're heading into a
33239s	very quick break I promise I know you've
33241s	heard that will before today as the
33243s	teams are getting ready for this last
33244s	series of the day we see you on the
33247s	other side

33498s	gun let's make party
33510s	welcome back one more time yeah that's
33513s	right you're seeing a Porsche on your
33514s	screens right now here uh beautiful
33517s	right next to our stage set up make sure
33519s	to take a picture with it also if you're
33521s	just generally a Porsche fan I got just
33523s	the right thing for you because the
33524s	Porsche 911 speaker is something you can
33528s	win everyone here on site as well as the
33530s	people watching from home can
33532s	participate uh if you follow this link
33536s	this link that link right there we're
33538s	really good at pointing uh yeah that's
33541s	right so uh just uh type that in and
33544s	sign up for a chance to win this speaker
33546s	we will be announcing the winners on
33548s	social media After Dream hack is over so
33551s	you have three full days to sign up and
33555s	uh have a chance not this one I'm taking
33556s	this one over I I'm almost it's not
33558s	actually this one it's a different thing
33560s	of this one is that approved uh no no
33563s	none of this none of this is factual
33565s	please do not listen to this man uh yeah
33567s	911 speaker from Porsche is what you can
33569s	win so make sure to sign up and get in
33572s	on the fun speaking of fun we got one
33575s	more match to go I promise this is the
33578s	last one uh listen it's been a day of
33580s	all days uh but we're going to finish
33582s	strong and I'm pretty sure that is the
33584s	Mantra from M80 yes they suffered a loss
33587s	here in their first match of the day
33589s	they were not as competitive as what we
33591s	thought hoped expected wanted to see
33594s	from them but this is a high caliber
33596s	team there are so much star power they
33599s	are they're such a good team they're
33601s	like no shot this is going to be
33602s	remotely close yeah I mean the potential
33605s	of this roster is super high if anything
33607s	I think we haven't seen enough to know
33608s	really what that data from the last
33610s	match means right yes crazy raccoon was
33613s	so much stronger really ran away with
33614s	the series it was one-sided however that
33616s	could just be ridiculous level of
33618s	dominance that crazy raccoon has brought
33620s	I mean there are levels to this right we
33622s	saw an get just dismantled in similar
33624s	fashion and yet they still put up a
33626s	dominant win over NRG shot and so for me
33628s	mad is still an absolutely massive
33630s	favorite here if they drop a map I'll be
33633s	severely surprised I'll almost be upset
33636s	if they lose a map I'll be upset I I'll
33638s	be upset disappointed you should not
33640s	lose M I would go as far as to say I
33642s	will be disappointed and that's not
33644s	because there aren't great players of
33646s	course on the opposition but Twisted
33647s	mind as good as they were of course in
33649s	stage one and at parts of stage two they
33652s	did unfortunately have some struggles uh
33655s	with getting the the same roster uh to
33658s	show up here at dream hack and they now
33661s	playing offro and I I mean it's all over
33664s	the place this is this is going to be
33665s	difficult like I yeah what can you even
33668s	say they had a couple of these issues so
33670s	they couldn't get the other players here
33671s	but also they've been moving on from
33672s	some other players they've been playing
33673s	with a different roster in the phasing
33674s	League Of course Kell and vigilante over
33676s	in the faic league of course but now
33678s	here you have AK stepping in here as
33680s	well Sky Rea has been playing the tank
33681s	for the most part on this team as well
33683s	but they were open to changeing things
33685s	up so on this graphic right here we're
33686s	seeing that slay is actually going to
33688s	play the tank it's up for the
33689s	interpretation I was everybody's got to
33692s	take a turn I did the interview
33693s	yesterday with Twisted minds and they
33695s	actually said it might come down to rock
33696s	paper sciss so we didn't have them on
33698s	for the rock paper sister competition
33700s	but maybe
33701s	theti to decide would be so I'm just
33704s	saying not sure what we're going to see
33706s	from Twisted Minds here but they did
33708s	talk up ak's Tor so if anything we might
33712s	wrap up today today with some AK Tor be
33714s	we might say a little the classic T
33715s	silly I'm I'm a fan of torb I'm a fan of
33717s	Tor I think you know there's been
33718s	there's some exciting players on this
33720s	roster we don't want to we don't want to
33721s	forget you know I think ub's been an
33722s	incredible performer in theem I think
33724s	Admiral is a great addition to this team
33726s	with a very consistent main support but
33728s	as you guys said I think the lack of a
33729s	true tank player is pretty much a death
33731s	sentence at this level of play I mean
33733s	we've seen what even some of the weaker
33735s	teams of this tournament can do is is
33737s	really insane and so to be to be
33739s	Fielding a player without any experience
33741s	playing tank at the professional level
33743s	it's going to be incredibly hard to keep
33744s	up I mean if anyone to watch it's going
33746s	to be Hawk Hawk's going to have which
33748s	should be a free game on his hands and
33750s	and honestly if he does anything less
33751s	than run with that I'll be a little
33753s	disappointed a lot very disappointed
33755s	literally like Twisted mind the only
33757s	thing they can do here really is heavily
33759s	rely on individual popup moments and
33762s	performances but even then yo torb get
33764s	some kills bro get a make something
33766s	happen out there no but that that's the
33768s	thing right I mean obviously if you're
33770s	coming in with a completely different
33771s	roster they haven't really scried with
33773s	each other they haven't had a chance to
33774s	really prepare for this if you win a map
33777s	huge success like that that you you
33779s	already like far exceeded most people's
33781s	expectations I got some more info from
33782s	yesterday's interviews with them as well
33785s	droing the inside yeah look I'm just
33786s	sharing my inside the Reas
33789s	roank all right this makes sense you's a
33792s	flexible guy he can rock the tank I'm
33794s	feel good about this play Jun or
33795s	something I I spoke to the team
33797s	yesterday and the reason they put sky on
33799s	tank initially was because played diva
33800s	in a quick play game so that just gives
33802s	you quick he gots look pretty good at a
33805s	quick play game playing the diva so that
33807s	just gives you the download but I guess
33808s	it didn't work against ronto Defiance so
33811s	here we are with yub stepping up now and
33812s	playing tank for the team who yes yub is
33814s	a fantastic player right yub is a
33817s	fantastic player uh obviously you know
33818s	won the World Cup last year it's just
33820s	unfortunate the way this has gone for
33822s	the team yeah you said you got the the
33824s	download yesterday you got to chat with
33825s	them you know what I want to I want to
33827s	hear more about it I want to hear more
33828s	from them let's hear what they had to
33830s	say in an interview which was recorded
33831s	yesterday
33834s	all right I'm reinforced and I'm here
33836s	with Twisted Minds could I have everyone
33838s	introduce themselves and their role my
33840s	name is yub I play the best for Twisted
33842s	M I'm sky and I play support uh I'm slay
33846s	I play support for Twisted Minds I'm aai
33849s	team manag of to mind but I'm playing
33851s	this T and I'm Admiral I probably play
33854s	support but I'm thank never know this is
33856s	the first land we're having this year
33858s	how have you been kind of getting along
33860s	so far well I think we've been getting
33862s	along quite well
33863s	we've been together for quite a while
33865s	besides maybe Admiral like we went to
33867s	Korea for example we always get along
33869s	together you know just having a good
33871s	time uh so UB last year 2023 uh you won
33875s	the World Cup with Team Saudi Arabia
33877s	what was that like uh I was really happy
33879s	because we were the underdog in the T
33881s	you know nobody except we go out of the
33883s	group we we take to win and I was really
33886s	happy about it when you come home from
33887s	that tournament how did the fans greet
33890s	you I see my picture everywhere inide
33892s	you know everywhere I go I see my and
33894s	people take picture with me and the
33896s	other players in Saudi yeah I really

33902s	Arabia history you know all right so the
33904s	entire team is here I want everybody to

34095s	hand it over to necra and Jack thank you
34098s	very much soe and thank you very much
34100s	the desk yes it's been a long hard
34101s	fought day for everybody including the
34104s	uh beautiful audience that's still here
34105s	with us in dream hack
34107s	Dallas getting into our last game of the
34111s	nights mat versus fist of Minds oh man I
34114s	think everything has been culminating up
34116s	into some of these final moments of
34117s	today I actually can't believe we're
34119s	here to be honest with you yeah I can't
34122s	believe what time it is you know what
34123s	I'm saying I'm not going to check my
34124s	watch no exactly it's time for OverWatch
34127s	woohoo exactly I'm ready to rock and
34129s	roll M8 and twisted Minds facing off
34131s	against each other low bracket match as
34133s	well so one of these teams will be going
34136s	home today yeah and all eyes right now
34139s	are on M80 can they live up to the
34141s	expectations that everybody else is
34142s	putting on them that they should be able
34144s	to win this match cleanly 30 anything
34147s	else a disappointment as the desk puts
34149s	it oh yeah 100% I mean you're expecting
34151s	to come in here and same the kind of the
34153s	Toronto series a little bit earlier on
34155s	that we covered Rose if you're coming in
34156s	as mat you want 3 0 you want to get out
34159s	get to bed get some rest come in
34161s	tomorrow and just continue continue that
34163s	lower bracket run it's going to be a
34165s	tough one a lot of tough teams up in the
34167s	upper bracket still that you're going to
34168s	have to maybe face even again exactly
34171s	this is a double elimination tournament
34172s	which makes it even more exciting to see
34174s	if these teams can actually bring it
34175s	back in these incredible lower bracket
34178s	runs 80 it does start here Twisted mines
34182s	we got a chance to see them earlier
34183s	today we did get a chance to see the Tor
34185s	that was very fun [ __ ] it was a whole
34187s	lot of fun for sure lot of roll swaps
34189s	too of course you be being on the the
34191s	tank now so we'll uh see what is in
34194s	store for us uh this
34197s	series it looks like uh we're just
34199s	fixing one small audio issue and then we
34201s	should be ready and raring to go and I
34204s	want to pick up what uh Jake was kind of
34206s	putting down as well a little bit
34207s	earlier on in the fact that M8 just has
34209s	so many stacked uh players on their
34212s	squad I mean Pelican and happy some of
34214s	the craziest DPS players we saw in the
34216s	over watch League especially in the last
34217s	couple of years of course Hawk a very
34219s	veteran tank player liar came in and
34221s	impressed everybody on the LA Valley and
34223s	taking down the Gladiators in a map
34225s	number five absolute Banger and then
34228s	ultraviolet as well who's been
34229s	incredibly consistent throughout his
34231s	career too absolutely this is a team
34233s	full of roll stars and to be able to see
34236s	them have some extra success on this
34239s	stage it's going to be very very
34240s	exciting but I think for Twisted Minds
34242s	as well these are players that have all
34244s	had Spotlight performances especially
34247s	when you are able to call out some of
34249s	their plays from Main stage one main
34251s	stage two I think we do have some really
34253s	great players on this team maybe just
34255s	not quite set up for success in this
34257s	tournament right now yeah I mean we'll
34258s	have to see what they can do of course
34260s	M run for their money I mean maybe UB
34263s	Tang goes
34264s	absolutely out there picks up the hog
34267s	maybe just get some few few fals maybe
34270s	Road Hog maybe some malga there's some
34273s	pretty good fundamentals there because
34275s	some hog little bit of Jake do the Jake
34276s	Strat just only play Jun Queen and cop
34278s	and then get rolled by Anor players yeah
34281s	unfortunate I mean can assist in some of
34283s	the environmentals as well on that Lucio
34285s	we'll have to wait and see what map
34286s	we're going to of course we're just
34287s	waiting for the small audio issue to get
34290s	fixed and then we'll be back into this
34292s	series and into map number one and I
34294s	think the best thing about um this new
34296s	format as well with the losing team
34299s	coming out of map number one then being
34300s	able to choose the map type as well just
34302s	puts a lot more emphasis in the back
34304s	room staff to the coaches kind of thing
34306s	as well and it's worth kind of thinking
34307s	about okay so if you like this style of
34309s	composition we don't actually have to
34311s	take you to a game that really promotes
34313s	and facilitates that yeah it gives teams
34315s	a lot of agency as well when it comes to
34318s	maybe changing the script for themselves
34320s	heading into the rest of the series but
34321s	we've got our first map on our hands for
34323s	this one oh yeah
34325s	buan here we go mat versus Twisted Minds
34329s	map number one our final match here in
34332s	day number one as well the dream hack
34334s	Dallas nocs major losers bracket loser
34338s	here will go home winner will advance
34342s	hopefully to continue their
34344s	run this is where I actually think the
34347s	torb really has a chance you know hear
34350s	me out hear me out if we get a chance to
34351s	maybe see some Trace play Then That Tor
34354s	can really help to lock down some of
34356s	those flank rots but as the doors open
34358s	we've got Sigma compositions on both
34360s	sides and lo and behold Pelican is going
34363s	to switch over to the Tracer happy
34365s	Widowmaker though I am so excited to see
34367s	this I mean I'm not looking at Pelican
34369s	right now I'm going to be honest you
34371s	Happy's got we hands you know there's
34373s	going to be head shot filling the kill
34376s	feed it's tough the Twisted minds too
34378s	because you need to be able to close
34381s	that Gap with the Lucio to stop happy
34383s	basically getting away with murder you
34385s	can see how how close up happy is
34387s	playing too it's tough I mean top Tower
34389s	obviously help do much it's going to
34392s	help Break The Shield a little bit you
34393s	know there do a little damage here and
34395s	there here and there but as this point
34397s	unlocks m is going to be able to control
34399s	it first as we head over to drum it's
34400s	going to require a wrapper found from
34402s	just may to try to get access to this
34405s	team but where is this Sigma going to go
34408s	Haw has such great sidelines right now
34410s	to shut down where twist mind come from
34412s	yeah they're trying to get on top of
34413s	happy right I mean that's all they're
34414s	trying to do so he's going to have to
34416s	watch his Heth I mean it's a good
34418s	OverWatch player for sure but can he
34419s	stand up to some of the very best some
34422s	of the very best on the Widowmaker too
34423s	nice little head on the Tor pops the E
34426s	God Dance The Shield son oh
34429s	Admiral he set sailing for spawn now
34432s	nice head from Happy cleaning up AK
34435s	there's
34436s	the Happ got sights too so it's not
34439s	going to be easy for Twisted mines to
34441s	actually get a little leg up on them
34445s	little trick there you just like hold
34446s	tab a couple of seconds wait for the
34447s	respa come in then go for the grapple
34449s	shot just put the shield up there even
34453s	less fear to be had exactly just two in
34455s	front of their
34457s	spawn but it leaves Twisted mindes with
34459s	very few options we're going to have
34461s	slay on on the soier so at the very
34464s	least maybe you're able to match some of
34465s	that one shot potential but now the four
34467s	ultrav violets able to pop down the
34468s	amplification Matrix as slay swapped
34471s	over to the soan now that was on a Cy a
34473s	little bit earlier on there's liar
34476s	straight into the back line he liar pick
34478s	up a nice couple of kills here nice 3K
34481s	the Lucio another team kill and haw
34483s	touch the SP door challenge I think so I
34485s	mean flux with the spawn door at this
34486s	point mate look at happy too super aggro
34491s	having to use the e as well get out of
34492s	the spawn on to rough Stu he's still
34495s	playing a safe though doesn't want to
34497s	overextend here especially into this
34499s	amplification Matrix nice lamp oh and
34501s	the pul for on top as well here comes
34504s	the lake flux from U happy just walks
34507s	away from it and a sire and a rub of the
34511s	forehead from happy and a small little
34512s	grin that would be 100 to zero for
34517s	M8 another day in the office for him
34520s	yeah
34522s	boy does it feel good to see Happ
34524s	Widowmaker though oh it does yeah I'm
34526s	kind of hoping plays a little bit more
34529s	Widow throughout the the series we have
34530s	to wait and see when you go to Mecha
34531s	base probably not the best pick but you
34534s	never you could still play if you want
34536s	cheese in the window up on The High
34538s	Ground like it's possible but anything
34540s	is possible if you believe hard enough
34543s	Jaws I don't know about that it does not
34547s	my DPS ranking does not agree this I
34550s	believe I'm the best but I'm really bad
34551s	at this yes it's okay at least youri's
34553s	got you that's true let's see what mat8
34556s	want to roll out the gate with
34557s	them little Mal okay mil far happy going
34561s	to TPP forward what happy going to
34563s	switch to Ace going to be the Widow okay
34565s	I still want to play it I I mean it's
34567s	going to be more difficult to be able to
34569s	weave those Widow shots through these
34570s	sight lines but you can still have the
34572s	nice sights on height as well as maybe
34574s	even grab that off angle about these
34577s	points the far though what an
34579s	interesting kick can AKs tor and
34582s	actually trip it up no one could look
34584s	happy either with this C right Twisted
34586s	minds are running with a torp I mean you
34588s	can fire a couple of the Cheetos over to
34590s	him you know but you can't really do
34592s	much else like the venture has to get
34593s	super close Point does unlock Road will
34596s	be a pel c and and who can go to
34599s	actually contest Pelican either oh right
34602s	yeah I mean maybe AK he runs towards him
34604s	right but yeah Pelican's going to be a
34606s	hard target to pin down oh and Yu subed
34611s	away easy kill now is
34615s	Happy Bally playing balloon's Tower
34617s	Defense right just sitting there
34619s	just motionless just looking around I
34622s	wanted the torb versus torb but I think
34624s	Tor versus standing still is not so far
34628s	away from that to break getting to
34631s	unlucky it's okay I I get it I get it m
34634s	they want to try to get this one quickly
34637s	the dub is coming through if you're able
34638s	to get these ultimates online to might
34640s	even need them honestly just throw some
34643s	Rockets down these chokes that's where
34644s	the far can really Thrive Li there with
34647s	the help of pel easily dispatches with
34651s	Admiral and this is just Twisted Minds
34653s	being
34654s	routed as they have to all go back to
34657s	spawn and well if you're M8 too you can
34660s	take these fights super quick you saw of
34662s	course UB just kind of Dashing forward
34664s	kind of leaving his team out in the open
34665s	he switched to B now yeah he has so able
34668s	to maybe go behind the team a little bit
34670s	faster but canate
34673s	Rush happy needs some care and attention
34676s	there it is Swift step into the suu UB
34679s	unable to focus down the wiow maker who
34681s	was kept about 80% plus HP that whole
34684s	time and Pelican you can even just play
34688s	here I mean why not I me just barrage
34690s	someone as they come through even you
34692s	could even just yeah sit in the window
34694s	either or just go to spawn cheeky cheeky
34697s	Pelican oh AK doesn't know what he's
34699s	running into sadly here comes the sound
34701s	bar and pelic could dip his little head
34703s	in the mol core in the middle but it is
34706s	just the Rockets just decimating Twisted
34708s	Minds 90% in counting now for M80 as
34713s	they should just be able to clean up U
34715s	or at least poop them further enough
34717s	away you can see God Liar come on man
34721s	stop playing with your
34723s	boy bit of Health stall be
34728s	inevitable he just the corner all right
34732s	UB Falls M8 cleaning up and uh Twisted
34736s	mindes falling on the first map that is
34739s	a to Zero by
34743s	amazing that's the clean map they wanted
34746s	though that was the clean map that M80
34749s	is promising everyone so the fact that
34751s	they can at least live up to that good
34754s	sign so far yeah really good stuff so
34756s	far no real surprises coming out of the
34759s	Woodworks nice to see some R TRS Here
34762s	There and Everywhere You be on the tank
34763s	this time around of
34766s	course it's just M8 as we jump over to
34769s	some highlights before we get into the
34770s	second
34772s	map and we yeah we'll go from there
34774s	we'll see where Twisted minds want to go
34780s	to get chances the Widowmaker is still
34783s	really
34784s	cool I don't know yeah I mean Happy's
34788s	raw aim is just sick so sick yeah just
34792s	nasty from it makes it look so easy as
34794s	well which is the the scary
34796s	thing and am are still playing meta for
34800s	them right now like the far is still a
34802s	good choice to have on Mecha base
34804s	despite the lower Sky ceiling you can
34807s	still spam those Rockets down all these
34809s	chokes is so they're still playing
34811s	clinically yeah I mean far has been
34813s	quite an interesting hero uh over the
34816s	course of overwatching General right
34818s	normally you needed like normally I mean
34820s	you had to have L Mercy pocket of course
34822s	and you just only played Sky Box far but
34824s	when they added the kind of the jump jet
34827s	the bit of extra Mobility to kind Dash
34829s	left and right seeing a little bit more
34831s	prominence here and it's been it's it's
34833s	exciting cuz far has not been a pick
34835s	that we've seen competitively in a long
34837s	long time felt like um so it's been uh
34840s	great to see them pick it up I'm curious
34842s	if they're going to continue to play it
34843s	as the tournament kind of continues over
34846s	the next couple of days but it is now
34848s	time for Twisted Minds to choose their
34850s	map and like and the game type of as
34852s	well of course where do you expect to
34855s	see us take it well they're going to
34856s	continue to play with this T beer and
34858s	then you have to think that they might
34859s	want to try to lean into some maps that
34862s	would be really good with that hero so
34864s	I'm kind of thinking flank route options
34869s	yeah it's also pretty hard as well with
34870s	the how you limit M80 yeah cuz you can
34874s	just play kind of on you can match the
34876s	Tor on the flank super easy with like
34877s	even the Tracer and the the KIRO so yeah
34881s	there's not too many good maps for Tor
34882s	what is the best map for Tor in this
34884s	pool any Tor Mains in the chat any Tor
34887s	Ms in the audience where's Tor going in
34889s	oh oh we got a couple hands actually
34891s	okay okay I like that what you thinking
34893s	Nani where do you all think we goid for
34896s	torb
34898s	maybe I can't Hollywood Hollywood I take
34902s	my heads off I forget how noise canc
34903s	Hollywood well the crowd wants Hollywood
34905s	the Tor map put the Tor on the elevator
34908s	okay I like that that's my favorite the
34910s	audience to pick it up on
34913s	Abol we got oh oh we're going esperansa
34915s	okay sorry mate they couldn't listen
34917s	they couldn't hear I don't think they
34918s	had their cans on esparanza push map for
34921s	Twisted PS okay so there's been some
34926s	opportunity here for teams to lean more
34928s	into the Malo composition yeah it does
34931s	limit some of the lethality of something
34934s	like a far it's because you have a
34936s	little bit less cover to actually play
34938s	around yeah there's well there's still
34940s	an opportunity but yeah it's it's
34942s	so yeah I mean you can play around kind
34944s	of the clock tower at the center but
34946s	apart from that yeah it's pretty rough I
34948s	mean I think like you were mentioning to
34949s	before I think M8 is probably just going
34951s	to stick to something they're very
34952s	comfortable with and a little bit more
34953s	uh meta and meta proof right now you can
34956s	play The Rush or you can play something
34957s	like a dive like H is very well vers and
34960s	Veteran Talent on every single tank at
34962s	this point so I'm not sure what can come
34965s	out here at this point honestly anything
34967s	is possible I'm going to be real yeah
34969s	there's a we don't know where we're
34971s	going to go maybe they want to just have
34972s	a little bit of fun yeah and play
34974s	something funny Happy on Widow if happy
34976s	plays Widow again you know Esperanza P
34980s	but he's probably if I had to guess
34982s	probably going a to sum to the Cassidy
34984s	uh Pelican just on the Tracer again I
34986s	mean both of them if you kind of look at
34988s	their hero pools endless pretty much
34991s	yeah there's so many possibilities there
34994s	I think Pelican as well we take a look
34996s	at how he's been able to do in the
34997s	OverWatch League there's so many
34999s	different Heroes that he has at his
35000s	disposal that could really lean on in a
35003s	match like this but I think like Genji's
35005s	not out of the RM of possibility maybe
35007s	even play more far if you really want to
35009s	I mean if you're going to pull out
35010s	blades like ker did in the match before
35012s	I mean I'm 100% down like Genji is
35015s	always extremely fun to watch and maybe
35016s	a little bit more dive here go a little
35017s	bit quicker um normally against teams
35020s	that are a little bit more inexperienced
35021s	or of course on the stage right now
35024s	players that aren't playing uh their
35026s	specific role like you can just kind of
35028s	beat to the punch and go a little bit
35029s	quicker cuz it's harder for them to
35031s	react in time they haven't really got us
35034s	enough practice compared to a team that
35036s	is playing all their main roles and have
35037s	played together for quite some time now
35039s	I would kill to see some Hawk Diva Hawk
35042s	Diva yeah I mean it's possible I just
35043s	don't think Diva I speaking Jakob about
35045s	this earlier Diva just doesn't really
35047s	seem that good right now I mean
35049s	especially with the well how quick
35051s	Things become and like the Winston
35052s	bubble is one of if not one of the
35054s	strongest abilities in The Meta
35055s	currently just the ability to kind of
35057s	block off heels and shut down a lot of
35059s	DPS as well could be pretty easy to kind
35061s	of is Cassidy if they're not careful um
35063s	but we'll have to wait and see of course
35064s	we're jumping into that map in just a
35067s	moment um yeah Twisted minds they're on
35069s	the back foot M80 just kind of want to
35072s	one and done here we'll have to wait and
35073s	see how it does end up going
35075s	there I
35077s	wonder I wonder though do we get to
35082s	see trying to think of like interesting
35084s	Heroes I wonder if so going to be a to
35085s	juggle all those heat packs in her

35249s	not sure I'm not sure that's a story
35251s	either yeah a bedtime story at least all
35254s	right esparanza is our second map in
35256s	this
35257s	series M8 taking on Twisted
35264s	PS what do we get to
35267s	see a lot of teams like to play Dive on
35270s	this map a lot of WI stay in a lot of
35273s	Diva but the world is our oyster right
35276s	now Jaws
35278s	yeah thinking of the player camps to at
35281s	the front of the stage Smiles across the
35283s	board on a twisted Minds faces they know
35286s	they're here for a good time right and
35287s	you just got to keep the morale high of
35289s	course it's been a long day for
35290s	everybody kind of you know sitting
35292s	waiting around some unfortunate
35293s	technical issues in the building and
35296s	just uh happy that they're happy happy
35298s	that they're smiling so they're really
35299s	making the most of it yeah right they
35301s	really are exactly and I mean it's
35303s	obvious that they're trying too they had
35306s	Sky try to play this tank roll earlier
35308s	slay even came in to try to take that
35310s	role too and now yub giving it his best
35313s	effort to really bring some life into
35315s	this Twisted mind team while they are
35317s	still on land and for this next map they
35320s	are going to be locking into the Mala
35321s	comp and Yu is a really great initiator
35324s	plays the symmetra usually for this team
35326s	has been able to make some really great
35328s	teleporter plays and just allow this
35330s	team to really
35331s	get into their own but with M80 they are
35334s	going to actually play this far from
35336s	happy or play around these
35340s	pillars have needed some healing there
35342s	caught a light for a brief moment as
35344s	yeah UB just tries to make an initiation
35346s	but you can see almost got blown up
35348s	instantly had to pop the cardiac
35350s	overdrive and scoring the rest of the
35351s	team out that turret unfortunately I
35352s	don't think it's going to stay around
35354s	for all too long there you go liar with
35355s	a Cheerios takes it out slay to follow
35359s	all right pelican
35362s	wow yeah I mean it's just it's so hard
35365s	when M80 has such a deadly DPS lineup
35368s	and play virtually
35370s	anything they can always make sure that
35372s	they can get the better of any type of
35373s	counter swapping but y's actually going
35376s	to switch over to the D okay so a really
35379s	great way to be able to eat up some of
35380s	this damage that's going to be coming
35382s	through from M80 you've got the defense
35383s	Matrix help soak up some of these far
35386s	Rockets but it's still going to be super
35388s	tough to actually engage on the team
35390s	when you have to be able to go all the
35391s	way past that Sigma shield and H no
35393s	slouch he's not really going to let you
35394s	do that yeah we'll have to wait and see
35397s	hey K what you doing
35399s	oh we're in a game mate
35404s	solders going over to the soldier
35407s	Okay let's see what you got Nice N did
35410s	hit Slay Slay got rocked too s do comes

35415s	AK on the side here not quite an AK but
35418s	it'll do there's the checkpoint for m
35422s	80 they're just ignoring AK at this
35424s	current moment in time it's actually
35426s	liar going down to slain head shot from
35429s	the Cy oh and happy Oh giv a little
35434s	smileing his shrug I try guys uh look I

35605s	way early you know production working
35606s	incredibly hard behind the scenes just
35608s	trying to make sure everything's running
35609s	smoothly

35621s	mat before we get into a third one of
35623s	course M again CH the map hey slay got a
35627s	pretty sick double kill yeah was great
35632s	100% but tracking down on the far we got
35635s	to see AK try a different
35638s	hero I like it Diva bomb kill yeah small
35642s	small victories here yeah and someone
35645s	accidentally Clos my game I mean I can't
35647s	be got to see Linings yeah he's a little
35650s	bit tired at the moment so yeah you know
35652s	these mistakes do end up happening but
35654s	all in good fun of course as M80 will go
35657s	to this third map imagine expecting has
35661s	taking home the W moving on in the lower
35664s	bracket pretty devastating one of course
35667s	as well when you really think about it
35669s	so many scary teams in the upper bracket
35671s	are going to get knocked down and then
35672s	you're going have to face them and the
35673s	rematches are always so spicy at land
35676s	and we going to get see some of oh yeah
35679s	especially when the crowd is there too
35681s	oh yeah it's been great to hear the
35683s	energy so far in the arena for all of
35686s	these teams and players all of the big
35688s	plays happening on the stream as well so
35690s	I can't wait to see how that's going to
35691s	help fuel up the rest of these teams
35693s	that are even competing for the rest of
35695s	the weekend cuz that's been really
35697s	special been good the audience been
35699s	fantastic as well like we've SE before

35708s	hybrid in here and there I mean he hey
35710s	fleing his guns a little bit showing us

35715s	play the
35716s	torion secret weapon yeah every every
35720s	good
35722s	need for a solo ke player yeah I mean
35725s	look it it's a miracle if you can get
35727s	the one trick just swap but when you can
35729s	oh they go crazy with it of course here
35731s	is the map pole that we're looking at
35734s	right now can't choose esparanza of
35736s	course or wday when we go to maybe the
35739s	audience are going to get their wish

35795s	the hammer they do scary I remember back
35800s	when soe did the tour Hammer 1 v1s he
35802s	dominated the Atlanta rain in theour
35806s	that was insane displays of skill
35808s	actually ridiculous stuff never seen the
35811s	T
35812s	cleaner that's facts yeah she said
35815s	that's fair she so facts all
35819s	right let's get into Kings Row map
35822s	number three M80 versus Twisted
35825s	mines Twisted Minds is Matt pick see
35829s	what side they're starting on as well
35831s	here there
35833s	M80 looking to continue their run in the
35836s	lower bracket he'll be on the defense
35838s	first
35841s	all right going to come out here with
35842s	the sigma they're also going to have
35844s	happy on the far they can play around
35847s	the window as well with Pelican they
35849s	have a pretty static backline here with
35851s	ultraviolet and liar playing both Anna
35854s	and the Baptist but you have such great
35855s	angles on this High Ground that you can
35857s	really play around with like a happy
35860s	nesting on the ledge over there that's a
35863s	fun
35864s	one I really like the uh aror the
35868s	defense to it's so nice when you can sit
35869s	super far back to very very different
35872s	comp though Twist of mind they running
35873s	okay o got the ram a little bit of Rush
35876s	sky on the Moira see Moira a hot minute
35879s	AK Flex in those muscles again maybe
35882s	just kidding it's more Tor giving the
35885s	people what they really want yeah that
35886s	is back to the
35889s	m okay it is going to be may I mean this
35893s	is just a rush special seeing the ratra
35895s	versus the May alongside the Moira and
35899s	the Lucio you're trying to take he
35900s	fights quick and fast I think he saw a
35904s	backbone in the corridor a little bit
35905s	earlier on maybe play the May here trust
35908s	me bro it works they're going to try and
35911s	run through
35912s	Hotel just try and take maybe they're
35914s	trying to wrap around The High Ground is
35916s	thead GL Strat just wrap around all the
35917s	way back oh unlucky though slay are
35920s	going down and now you're in a little
35922s	bit of an issue here if you missed in
35924s	mind you've lost the majority of your
35926s	DPS smile on face they're fighting on
35929s	second
35931s	right now they've switched
35933s	sides mind are now on the defense oh hul
35936s	trapped in the Bookshop lamb comes in to
35938s	save his life oh the Pelican takes down
35941s	slay jumped onto the winow maker but
35943s	that was almost a glad special there
35944s	here comes the flux does manage to find
35947s	the connection too lot of damage in that
35949s	book shop but there you
35951s	go there a close book now for Twisted
35953s	mindes they all go back to spawn got the
35955s	attempts but that's half the time bank
35958s	gone that is a lot of time off the clock
35962s	Sky's got the coalesence maybe a good
35964s	way to to sort of run face first into
35967s	the enemy team slay's going to switch
35971s	going over to the soldier as well so a
35973s	little bit easier maybe to land those
35975s	shots onto happier Pelican but here's
35977s	the coalesence oh nano on the barrage
35981s	takes down slay from a mile away Twisted
35984s	mindes no real uh way to deal with a far
35987s	high up in the sky let alone after they
35989s	Nano aggressive pu play 25% towards
35993s	another R lizard coming up though for a
35996s	those Rockets hurt and they had a really
35998s	fast you've got the blizzard on top of
36000s	something like the annihilation there's
36002s	a lot of Firepower behind this Twisted
36004s	mines team but they use this
36005s	amplification Matrix on M8 so Twisted
36007s	minds are going have to wait a second
36008s	before they're able to make a reproach
36010s	Annihilation for UB where's the
36012s	disengage from M8 Hawk is going super
36014s	low Sav by the lamp again but the
36017s	overwhelming Firepower from a twisted
36020s	mind
36021s	will take down liar and how they doing
36023s	up training though is pelic Happy come
36025s	out with kills and I mean pelic is just
36027s	on just an unbelievable flank here oh my
36031s	word the face with stone C killer no
36035s	survivors that was almost a tick that
36037s	Twisted mindes were able to get but
36039s	didn't end up having an opportunity to
36041s	use this blizzard from
36042s	AK maybe get a chance to have like an
36045s	overclock or even a coalesence to pair
36047s	up with that but they're really starting
36048s	to run out of time over minute left not
36052s	too much more than that and M80 they're
36053s	going to have four alt to work with in
36055s	this next
36058s	fight oh well they did know they ran
36061s	they ran the between the legs they do it
36064s	up picking up a kill onto Pelican
36065s	however ultra violet trying it hardest
36069s	to heal happy I he had the Nano but
36071s	didn't want to deploy
36073s	it worse where now hog still going for
36075s	these slay's going to die too there's no
36078s	heals coming in there's only AF 30
36081s	seconds to go now four Twisted mines and
36083s	slowly but surely they're just bleeding
36086s	out on the point L instantly by H oh but
36090s	it pushes them back far enough it's
36092s	actually going to be able to net Twisted
36093s	mines one point make that two two ticks
36097s	before come back in to try to get that
36100s	recontest with the Nano to boot going to
36105s	beast in on it as well 10 seconds to go
36107s	two ticks on the board for Twisted m
36110s	into the sky he's on the
36113s	Weaver they're going to be have to get
36115s	that I don't think they're even going to
36116s	get there yeah SL duck into Spawn Two
36120s	and there it
36123s	ISE winnable for Twisted mind
36125s	67%
36127s	score Z is m8's game to lose now going
36132s	to make this a quick one I would imagine
36134s	I mean pelic save them two times there
36137s	back to back on the cast The
36139s	Trac doing some really good carry
36141s	performances as we we know and love from
36143s	those DPS players for sure I mean there
36146s	were some really competitive moments of
36149s	that push yeah I like Hawk going for the
36153s	one V5 cles I mean it's great ends up
36156s	picking up kills it's a solic flux
36157s	really isn't it I can save it and you
36159s	can if you got a DPS like a pan that's
36162s	true guys don't worry don't worry DPS
36164s	got this they're doing something exactly
36166s	they got
36167s	[Music]
36169s	it all right what specialty course do
36173s	Twisted minds want to serve
36176s	up AK on the soldier Okay I like that
36181s	get the healing pile on for
36183s	yourself can just play on an angle I got
36188s	Pelicans also hovering the Widow here to
36190s	make sure happy can't take it it's my
36192s	time in the Rock Paper Scissors Shoot

36200s	special what you play tank why not the
36204s	play what you're comfortable with have a
36207s	twisted mind they kind of got this
36208s	pseudo dive going on with the doomfist
36211s	the echo got the soldier from AK on an
36213s	off angle the Pelican hunting in those
36216s	sight lines for somebody to peek their
36218s	head over the hotel you I
36224s	mean it's the effort that counts it is
36227s	that is an a for effort straight I mean
36229s	they killed
36231s	you trade there yeah like hang on a
36234s	second hang on a second here they
36238s	looking like they want to let them cap
36240s	at this point Li just Perma sleeping

36247s	Echo and is is back Sky dead moving on
36251s	to the point I mean can UB go for a hell
36254s	Mary find Li here but oh another
36257s	sleep Lucio play they still got that aim
36262s	oh well we're going to see a couple
36263s	staggers come back here from pive mindes
36266s	as they try to get back closer to the
36267s	point but doesn't look like they're
36268s	going to be able to yep and that will be
36273s	it M80 with a clean 30 over Twisted
36279s	mindes eliminate them from the
36281s	competition and they will sail through
36284s	the lower bracket now with that
36287s	win clean win from them too we expected
36290s	nothing less of this team to continue to
36294s	show and live up to the expectations
36296s	that everybody has for a squad like this
36298s	and M80 they get to continue their
36300s	Journey see where they get to go from
36302s	here but they have some very tough
36304s	opponents waiting in the wings for them
36305s	it's not going to be an easy fight no it
36307s	is not of course there's upper bracket
36310s	games tomorrow decide what's going down
36312s	in the lower brackets handshakes all
36314s	around Smiles on the faces of
36318s	everybody it's been a It's been a a good
36320s	time watching twist mins in owcs of
36322s	course their stage one was just
36324s	phenomenal just a fortunate they ended
36326s	in a position where they couldn't end up
36329s	building a a proper full roster but been
36331s	an exciting organ a lot of exciting
36333s	players to actually watch but it is M80
36336s	that take the victory here take the
36338s	victory
36339s	bow in the final game come on
36343s	liar in our final game of day number one
36347s	we're going to jump over to the Des
36348s	though there beautiful people round us
36351s	out so he called us beautiful guys what
36355s	a way to end the day thank you so much
36357s	NRA and jack for bringing us the action
36360s	here of the last series of the day but I
36363s	F not the last one in this tournament
36365s	these were elimination matches that we
36367s	finished off with but tomorrow is
36369s	another day and another chance for M8 to
36371s	stay alive let's talk about how they got
36373s	it done as we looking at some of the
36374s	highlights from this match this was as
36376s	clean as it gets and this is exactly
36378s	what we needed wanted to see from M80
36381s	I'm just happy we finally got to see the
36382s	happy far in an official match you know
36384s	that's one that one's been definitely
36385s	waiting in the sidelines for quite a
36387s	while here he is on it might go back to
36389s	the sidelines after this one though well
36392s	you never know I'm going to keep an open
36393s	mind I think hey Pelican on the hit skan
36395s	he's good he's Rock Solid I mean Pelican
36398s	is a bit of a hyperflex himself so he
36400s	can pull out pretty much everything
36401s	right and you know this was a pretty
36403s	clean 3 but you know we mentioned it
36405s	even before the game right you know M
36407s	they got their uh they'll be looking
36409s	back at you know the previous series as
36410s	well and what they can learn going into
36411s	tomorrow's matchup nice to get this
36413s	quick 30 win now you can go back to the
36415s	hotel can rest up for tomorrow's match
36418s	but I feel like we had to talk about
36419s	Twisted Minds as well of course um this
36421s	was their final run here in in stage one
36423s	and stage two of owcs you know they
36426s	qualified here for the major weren't
36427s	able to field ultimately the roster that
36430s	did qualify because of some these issues
36432s	and you know some some swaps on their
36434s	roster as well uh but overall you know
36436s	this team they feature some great talent
36438s	Yu for example won the world Cup last
36440s	year with Saudi Arabia and is a
36442s	fantastic cerebral player who is behind
36445s	some of Twisted mind success when it
36447s	comes to playing symmetra compositions
36448s	for example Q be so smart with his
36450s	teleporter placement in this series
36452s	though you Flex around because
36454s	unfortunately you have to F three
36455s	support players it wasn't optimal
36457s	conditions but I don't think that should
36458s	take away at all from the individuals
36460s	that they had to field here today that
36462s	have been shining throughout owcs in the
36465s	EMA scene who have a bright future ahead
36467s	of them for the rest of the year because
36468s	reminder this is just amazing we got
36470s	stage three stage four coming up in
36471s	ultim Dre Stockholm right so lots of
36474s	these talented individuals they have an
36476s	opportunity on other teams as well to
36477s	compete and improve and learn from this
36479s	Land Experience yeah I mean as you said
36482s	as uh this might be the end for them
36484s	here in Dallas but certainly not at the
36486s	end of the road at all for these
36488s	talented individuals now speaking of
36490s	talented individuals there was one
36492s	player who just took a charge took the
36495s	lead and pulled away and he will be
36498s	earning himself the Porsche uh
36500s	performance of the match and it is no
36502s	other than our favorite hyper Flex take
36505s	dis Sky pelican pelican is one of my
36507s	favorite players to watch cuz you never
36509s	know what he's going to bring out on the
36510s	server other than pure domination I mean
36513s	hero wise he can play absolutely
36514s	everything at the highest level and he I
36516s	know personally he really loved to bring
36518s	out lots of these crazy Heroes I
36520s	mean okay all right all right he's just
36523s	just dropping a nuke yeah that's just
36525s	just dropping a nuke okay okay we got to
36527s	be fair we got to be fair this this
36529s	wasn't stum yeah it's it's not like he's
36532s	been that contested you know he
36537s	been number big number is wow big number
36541s	is wow that is a quotable from today
36543s	actually that's the that is the level of
36545s	energy my brain C has that's why we come
36547s	the analyst Des big number is wow but I
36549s	I could agree more right now Johnny big
36551s	number is
36553s	wow yeah Pelican truly hyperflex looking
36555s	forward to see what this team can bring
36557s	tomorrow because yes it was a bit of a
36559s	disappoint to see what they brought
36560s	against C raccoon but the series is not
36562s	over yet now we're looking forward to
36564s	see who they'll actually be playing next
36566s	whether that is going to be SSG or
36568s	Falcons of course in the next round of
36569s	the loser bracket so you stay alive in
36571s	the tournament now you get to go home
36572s	and reset and you can prepare and learn
36574s	from your mistakes so here you go the
36575s	upper bracket and the matches we'll see
36577s	kicking off tomorrow now the question
36580s	can any I mean these are the next best
36582s	competitors really the best chance I
36583s	think for Na and EU to be taking on the
36587s	Asia region teams it's sort of an open
36589s	question question whether anyone can do
36590s	it but this is the best chance I think
36592s	these are the teams at the real shot uh
36594s	absolutely and uh if we could quickly go
36597s	back to that upper recet as we're still
36598s	talking about it uh we talked about
36600s	crazy raccoon obviously being the
36603s	favorite to win it all but when I got a
36605s	chance to actually sit down together
36606s	with Danny with crazy raccoon they did
36608s	say that the team they have their eye on
36611s	is Toronto Define it was not Falcons it
36613s	was Toronto def find they think that
36615s	they might be one of the most
36616s	competitive teams uh for them the only
36618s	one who really can maybe you know make
36620s	him skip a beat uh so tomorrow they get
36623s	a a first glance or we rather get a
36625s	first glance at what that could look
36626s	like I'm going to be I'm going to be
36629s	honest with you though the way crazy
36631s	raccoon played today I mean we didn't
36633s	see the Toronto Define game here on our
36635s	stream but the way crazy raccoon played
36637s	man Toronto will have their workout out
36640s	yeah a lot of pressure on them
36642s	especially with some rookie players
36643s	right we got Vega who is an incredibly
36645s	impressive player for me mechanically
36646s	has a ton of potential I want to see him
36648s	go far but nonetheless this is his first
36650s	like big tournament showing here at the
36652s	professional level and so to go up
36653s	against a roster like crazy raccoon it's
36655s	going to be a massive test they are
36657s	still in the upper bracket though so all
36658s	those teams are going to have additional
36660s	chances as we continue on in the
36661s	tournament but yeah I'm very hopeful as
36663s	a fan of North American OverWatch that
36664s	tonal defiant can at least make it
36666s	competitive and show that you know
36668s	they'll be back for more as the
36669s	tournament progress ultimately right
36671s	even though that czy raccoon and Falcons
36673s	they come into this tournament and they
36674s	are the favorites Toronto defiant they
36676s	have three of the five pieces they're
36678s	really made up the Florida May of last
36679s	last year that ended up winning the
36681s	OverWatch League Championship and now
36682s	you slot in a player like Vega who's a
36684s	bit of a rookie but you know has some
36686s	similar attributes like chorong for
36688s	example being so flexible in that
36690s	support role right so this is a Toronto
36692s	diviant team that deserves that respect
36694s	right because of their successes in the
36696s	over League playoffs last year and uh
36698s	they're a team to respect you know even
36699s	for a team like CCE raccoon coming as a
36701s	tournament favorite oh absolutely and
36703s	they are not going on the raadar I think
36704s	the opposition is very much aware of the
36706s	flexibility that this team can bring to
36709s	the table and quite frankly with the
36711s	format that we have right now where you
36712s	get to choose not just the map but also
36714s	the map type I think this might really
36716s	come into play for uh all the teams that
36719s	we see Staying Alive here in the
36720s	tournament now uh we are wrapping up our
36723s	first day but that also means that again
36725s	we had to say goodbye to two of the
36727s	teams uh Twisted Minds we just uh saw
36730s	off off the stage but we also once again
36733s	I want to say goodbye to energy shock
36735s	they had their graduation here on stage
36737s	today the big reveal of course there you
36740s	go see it once again yeah I mean it's
36743s	it's lovely to see those shock jerseys
36745s	back in Action that did make me very
36747s	very happy and even cooler to see them
36750s	being worn by you know upand cominging
36753s	stars of the competitive award scene
36756s	yeah we can see they brought a lot of
36757s	the pieces together still more to grow
36759s	for this roster needing more experience
36761s	maybe more polish to really play at this
36763s	Elite International level but there were
36766s	little moments there there were little
36767s	moments making me believe and it's
36768s	awesome to see the fan support that's
36770s	come behind this team I think they're
36772s	going to be an exciting Squad to watch
36773s	we continue on as they fight in face a
36775s	master league for their chance to be at
36776s	the Esports World Cup that's right but
36778s	for now we say goodbye to energy shock
36780s	as well as Twist of mind make sure to
36782s	head on over to socials and uh see them
36785s	off with a lot of love we are also
36787s	saying goodbye for today it's been a day
36790s	of all days we're back with more action
36792s	tomorrow of course make sure to tune in
36794s	12:45 CT is when we will be back here in
36798s	action thank you so much for watching
