518s	because the safe environment and
520s	visibility provides the marginalized
522s	groups competing within the OverWatch
523s	Community why is it so important wealth
526s	baby the boys they need a presence and
529s	they need our support calling all heroes
531s	is our chance to kind of change that
533s	narrative and to prove that if we give
536s	the talent that is there a place to
538s	practice and a place to cultivate it
540s	will inevitably rise
549s	opens the door wide what and Bone the
553s	two DPS again making the numbers count
557s	making your ultimates more another
559s	sustainable being used in the sound
561s	barriers ultimate myself academies
562s	everything's being thrown into this
564s	fight this one is absolutely monstrous
576s	16 teams have been narrowed down to just
579s	four in the semi-finals of day two of
582s	the load screen recall calling all
584s	heroes first Miner I am epitomies and I
587s	am here with Chef Billy to bring you all
589s	the coverage for this last day of
591s	playoffs yeah that we are excited to be
594s	here once again for this gender
596s	inclusive tournament and you know
597s	getting at the underrepresented members
600s	of our community uh everybody's a hero
602s	and you know we need a lot more of us
604s	here and that's what this whole
605s	initiative is about is making a safe
606s	space for everybody uh to be part of
609s	this wonderful game that we all have
611s	come to love over the past six years and
613s	well I mean this is uh this is one of
615s	the proudest moments of my life we had a
617s	fun time yesterday now we're down to the
619s	business end of the tournament here
622s	we've got two semi well we've got one
623s	semi-final and a grand final the other
625s	uh semifinal will take place off screen
628s	but let's take a look at how we got here
631s	uh this is a look at our brackets and uh
634s	well you'll see right here we've got uh
636s	nyxl Academy and Timeless ether
638s	yesterday uh that five map thrill that
641s	we had here on the stream last match of
642s	the day uh they got through 3-2 and Rift
645s	Guardian said dark monkeys is going to
647s	be our batch up here on the stream today
649s	and rip Guardians completely undefeated
653s	I mean they've only lost three Maps
655s	through the entirety of uh their run
658s	here through the miners tournament so I
661s	mean for dark monkeys they've got a real
663s	tall Order ahead of them but uh
665s	epitomies I mean this is going to be I
667s	think this is going to come down to uh
669s	nerves I can come down to who's got the
671s	better result and how much you know team
673s	Synergy has been built here uh for these
675s	two teams
677s	yeah and I mean Dart monkeys definitely
680s	had a really tough matchup yesterday
682s	against Vancouver Titans blue to make it
684s	here and riff Guardians they went up
686s	against with flashlight which we saw in
689s	that very first streamed match yesterday
690s	and they had to go absolutely crazy it
693s	was a reverse sweep from Rift Guardians
695s	and looking at their roster here this is
698s	who's going to be playing some familiar
700s	names I'm sure isn't there really I mean
703s	yeah I mean just out the game the chesty
705s	and hkey uh are too uh very prominent uh
709s	names here then aramore is one of my
711s	favorite uh supports uh in North America
714s	uh really have loved what she has
716s	brought to the scene uh has a dang good
719s	uh honor but we'll see uh how they are
722s	going to do weather today because they
724s	did have a scare yesterday on yesterday
726s	was we were on upset alert across a lot
729s	of the matches and as we now take a look
731s	at the dark monkeys uh we'll see uh one
734s	of my favorite uh Flex supports here in
737s	all of Na that is Aspen and SK both in
740s	the support role there this is going to
742s	come down to some serious support
744s	battles I I have to say uh barcode is
748s	one of my personal favorite dps's here
750s	especially in this tournament uh and
753s	zambrit I have covered them for quite a
755s	bit of time and she has been part of the
759s	path to Pro System uh you know in
761s	contenders and trials and such like that
763s	so
764s	um we're gonna see uh this is going to
766s	be a Clash of the Titans here uh if I've
768s	been completely Odd as Dart monkey's
770s	looking to play spoiler here now we're
773s	going to take a look at our Maps it is a
774s	first to three here and we're gonna
776s	start out on Oasis and I like this pick
779s	over Legion Garden because you have you
783s	know you have got a very definitive
785s	brawl map and then Gardens and City
787s	Center you can play a lot more mobile uh
791s	and you can play a lot more
792s	intelligently I don't think the drift
794s	doesn't necessarily throw yourself at
796s	the other team like you do on universe
797s	be
799s	yeah and I definitely do agree with you
802s	here and obviously I am very excited to
806s	be seeing Dart monkeys I saw a lot of SK
809s	back when she wasn't playing OverWatch
812s	and was in another unnamed FPS title but
815s	uh she also was heading Dart monkeys and
818s	I am really excited to see what she has
821s	built over here on um in OverWatch too
824s	because OverWatch 2 Dart monkeys has
826s	already made a name for themselves
827s	they've placed top three in a lot of
831s	these previous calling all heroes
832s	tournaments so I think that they are
835s	definitely a team to be the rift
836s	Guardians they have gone so they have
839s	such a Flawless record in calling all
841s	heroes so far in this minor and they are
844s	actually 8-0 on their wins in the entire
846s	tournament
847s	I need this is going to be you know
849s	where the rubber meets the road I mean
851s	if somebody's got to go home here I
853s	think that we're in in store for a
855s	five-map thriller uh like we had
857s	yesterday I think there's not much
858s	between these two teams uh I think
860s	barcode is gonna be somebody that we
862s	look for from dark monkeys to get the
864s	initiation uh and then watch the
866s	follow-up on behind that Evie uh is a
869s	very Dynamic tank uh on the other side
871s	cat uh looking like we might get this
874s	jumper queen look and you're gonna look
876s	for shusty here on the ash to get up on
878s	that high ground and start spraying down
881s	with the Viper
884s	that you were talking about it's still
887s	just the Lucio kiriko combo because they
890s	really want to get up close and personal
892s	make sure that these dimes aren't
894s	successful especially with Evie here on
896s	the tank but for now they're fighting
898s	just across the side of the map taking
900s	control of the hides round though it's
902s	that Winston exactly what we expect here
904s	with this such a dynamic tank in terms
908s	of being able to take control of The
909s	High Ground no picks to be found either
912s	way drops the bubble Evie Falls really
914s	low though and instead just retreats to
916s	the point dark monkeys first to touch
918s	but heavily contested thus far just
920s	playing Ring Around the Rosie and trying
923s	to find some sort of damage some sort of
926s	big
928s	Asado I'm looking for a pick but still
932s	it's just High Ground dancing up in this
934s	gowns nobody can take control
940s	and there's a there's a statue set
942s	coming to his Amendment that'll give
944s	them the first point and lots of extra
946s	old charge going over to them looking at
948s	the difference between SK and airmory
950s	absolutely even uh in the consumer Rush
954s	generation of course ceremony will go a
956s	little bit ahead here uh just because
958s	they are out of Spawn but I mean easy
960s	right now I think that's you've got to
962s	watch SK being able to go in with these
965s	Dives and keep the uh healing after
967s	death on the Winston because the engages
970s	right now have been way too clean she
972s	thought it was just having a field day
974s	barcode is looking to try and counter
977s	for this to Asado though and get that
979s	damage down as well but chisato is
981s	pretty much unchecked over here on the
984s	point while Dart monkey has been looking
986s	for the guys now dropping the bubble
988s	down low but Evie has to retreat and SK
991s	does find the pick on to chesty though
993s	so they are missing this dps's both
995s	because soon they rushes go out try and
997s	dive onto one another and the EMP now
1001s	activated sound barrier from jono to try
1003s	and contest make sure that this dragon
1005s	plate can't find anything as Ashton just
1008s	counters with the sound barrier of her
1010s	own asking once again with another pick
1012s	the kiriko being the one to secure these
1014s	eliminations and the Rampage is going to
1017s	attempt to hold on to this point SK
1020s	another pick on Chef Steve but shasti
1022s	with the soldier and not before she's
1024s	able to pick one out of their own the
1026s	Primal Rage has to come out dark monkeys
1029s	still fighting such a prolonged
1031s	engagement but nothing to be bound on
1034s	either side and Rift Guardians the timer
1036s	is still ticking for them they're still
1039s	able to get that percentage up but
1040s	finally with the help of the Primal Rage
1042s	and almost every single ultimate vested
1045s	from both sides dark monkeys come out on
1048s	top
1048s	from the time that we saw dark monkeys
1051s	get the advantage in that fight rip
1053s	Guardians get an extra 40 of capture
1056s	percentage so I mean looking for
1058s	Dartmouth right now December whole bomb
1060s	is going to be coming up here very
1061s	shortly and with chisado going over to
1063s	their own answering Tracer backlights
1065s	are going to be pretty vulnerable
1070s	again
1071s	he's always trying to round these
1073s	corners and look for the early
1075s	engagement so they can follow up with
1077s	the Lucio but barcode falling early
1080s	these other Guardians have that second
1082s	of an opening where they don't have to
1083s	worry about these hacks and can put so
1086s	much damage onto the tank Evie forced to
1089s	retreat once again playing around the
1091s	middle of this map but there's the leads
1094s	that come through from cat that just
1096s	allowing Evie to be taken down and
1098s	chisado switching onto the Tracer
1100s	instead of the Genji now the pulse bomb
1102s	much more reliable ultimate and already
1104s	charged up despite the switch now to
1106s	Jersey shesty looking to be the next
1109s	person that will have an ultimate on
1111s	board with the overlock I mean barcode
1115s	right now is just not getting enough
1119s	you're looking for a stick big stick but
1122s	bigger Susan coming from this game that
1125s	was a huge ultimate or Isuzu from ascape
1128s	but there's a rampage to come through
1129s	and the sound barrier immediately
1131s	counteracting it was the only person who
1133s	really got hit by the anti they're able
1136s	to find a lot of value out of the over
1137s	cloth now though Justin's just going
1139s	crazy with the right clicks with the
1142s	railgun looking for the picks and they
1144s	do find them the overtime is activated
1147s	and barcode is looking to stall still
1149s	contesting on the point running around
1152s	the middle of the map making sure that
1153s	there isn't a sight line but after that
1156s	player is taken down there's no choice
1158s	Rift Guardians they take first mouth
1161s	I mean the difference between chunker
1163s	Queen and listen right there you see
1165s	right there the engagement that Rift
1166s	Guardians were taking they were going
1168s	into Eevee they were going hard they
1170s	weren't taking any questions or comments
1172s	tala that was what I mean they just
1174s	wanted to get on top of Edie and really
1176s	put the backlight under duress and
1178s	that's what happened time and time again
1180s	uh we need to see a little bit more
1182s	coming out from barcode here especially
1185s	on the summer so we're gonna keep
1186s	writing that the hacks have to be uh
1188s	follow up on the die potential has to be
1190s	there Evie is going to keep running with
1192s	this Winston I think that you've got to
1194s	coordinate these Dives a whole heck of a
1195s	lot better uh make sure that you take
1197s	that hack Target down and then move on
1199s	from there and speaking of the Winston
1202s	as well momentarily did see a Reaper
1204s	come from chisado and there were Reapers
1206s	in the games yesterday so they might
1208s	also be looking for somewhere that front
1210s	loaded damage if Evie does become a
1213s	problem eventually but right now Dart
1215s	monkeys they're sticking with the
1217s	composition as that they know already
1219s	the dive comes in from maybe bubble goes
1222s	down but the jumper Queen is just right
1224s	up in the base not allowing the space to
1226s	be taken especially with the bleed
1228s	applied and needs to go back and Retreat
1230s	for the heels and once again it's Rift
1232s	Guardians that are going to take the
1234s	first capture off the point on Oasis but
1236s	dark monkeys they are able to confess
1238s	just for a second but the little delay
1240s	is not enough to flip the point
1242s	not really and I mean we're looking for
1244s	summer right now to close in on this and
1246s	make the rotational round uh the pillar
1248s	here and there's a big manual Hack That
1250s	should be a kill conference but to get
1251s	away
1253s	and Jesse is able to take down barcode
1255s	as well so no more of the hack for the
1258s	rest of this fight have to wait for the
1259s	Sombra to come back in while dark
1261s	monkeys they're just swinging on the
1263s	backside of the map using the bubble to
1265s	retreat and Aspen they're able to get
1267s	some witness SK on the side as well the
1270s	two supports are able to make a bit of
1272s	room for dark monkeys and get themselves
1274s	onto the point and objective now secured
1276s	for Dart monkeys only 33 ticked off for
1280s	Rift Guardians now Dart monkeys have a
1282s	little bit of the better odds than they
1285s	had in that last round absolutely and I
1287s	think that the the focus fire doubt
1289s	coming through true here for Dartmouth
1291s	is maybe the early game Jitters are out
1293s	of the out of the basket uh we're
1295s	looking right now at an early consuming
1296s	rush and Founders ready to go for
1298s	Darkness so lots of staying power here
1300s	on the point which side of lift their
1302s	own pulse bomb they force out Susu and
1305s	look for the ball or look for a
1306s	follow-up on the back of that
1308s	seems like zembra is trying to find
1311s	something off the side of it but the
1312s	team repositions and all of a sudden it
1315s	is just front to back once again Evie
1317s	gets down real low but not the
1319s	elimination confirmed however kitsume
1321s	Rush from Escape is going to make it a
1324s	lot easier for Dart monkeys to spam away
1326s	but the katsune rush has been reached by
1328s	arabori and is immediately countered now
1331s	two more ultimates invested with the
1333s	Rampage and the sound barriers on both
1335s	sides the Primal Rage is still going but
1339s	as it runs out there's still nothing
1340s	Bound for dark monkeys except for that
1343s	kill on to escape now missing that bit
1346s	of burst healing that kiriko offered as
1348s	well as the invulnerability from the
1349s	suzu dart monkeys decides to retreat and
1352s	with Guardian split Point well I mean
1354s	that's a smart disengage coming from
1355s	them once you lose your Winston in that
1357s	competition you've got it back out they
1359s	got as much as they could but now
1361s	they're going to have the EMP engage and
1363s	now they don't have to worry about that
1365s	Rampage it's gonna be free kills as long
1367s	as the focus fire once again is there
1370s	foreign
1386s	cat goes down as well yeah I mean that's
1389s	a fantastic turn for bed uh they give up
1391s	a little bit of progress there uh and
1393s	and the big thing is that barcode takes
1396s	down the chesty uh without the EMP just
1398s	a manual hack and just a one Clipper
1401s	from them that's a beautiful Focus fire
1403s	there realizing the Target now the
1405s	overclock is available so they do have
1407s	an entry point and shasado over to the
1409s	re Personnel Evie is gonna have to be
1411s	really focused
1413s	but the EMP does come through even does
1416s	get a bit of damage off the back of it
1418s	but other than that they're still
1420s	looking a little bit shaky dark monkeys
1423s	are dancing around the point once again
1425s	and SK is just going head to head with
1427s	you there's the overclock to try and
1430s	confirm the kill onto SK and finally
1432s	they take down the kiriko pulse bomb
1434s	misses from zembrick and is heavily
1436s	punished for it railgun confirms kill
1438s	onto zembrit now once again flipping the
1442s	point this this round is just neck and
1444s	neck from both these teams I mean you've
1446s	got the sound barrier Advantage right
1448s	now
1450s	you can let it go to about 90 95 and get
1454s	in there I think the manual hack has to
1456s	go I'm just Shadow first to make sure
1457s	the TV has a staying
1460s	here's the reaper just an action being
1463s	able to force back the Winston so
1464s	heavily but now The High Ground and
1466s	without the teleport available it's a
1468s	lot harder to be able to track this
1470s	monkey around the map now there's the
1473s	sound barrier and the consuming Rush
1476s	both from breath Guardians to try and
1478s	force the fight into their Direction but
1480s	the sound barrier counters from Aspen
1482s	and the Kitsune Rush unfortunately
1484s	nowhere close for SK but the Primal Rage
1487s	is and the Primal Rage now popped means
1489s	that they can make a lot of space on the
1491s	objective and kind of force these
1493s	players back but she thought it was
1495s	still trying to fight and the death
1497s	Blossom is now available the Rampage
1500s	going through and the death Blossom
1501s	trying to firm the Press but it's still
1503s	dark monkeys coming out finding the
1505s	value in their contesting it's all left
1508s	up to cat as the rest of the team tries
1510s	to regroup but over time and now
1512s	confirmed and dark monkeys able to flip
1515s	points looking to be another overtime
1519s	ready to go here from
1529s	as they come through
1532s	cool chesty can't do anything on the
1535s	Tracer so far though and the EMP once
1537s	again charged as well for barcode
1539s	there's separate with a pulse bomb
1541s	looking to confirm the kill on to
1543s	chisato and just can't get away from all
1546s	the damage Rift Guardians they're going
1548s	to give this one up and dart monkeys
1550s	make the map score around school one one
1553s	yeah I mean that's a fantastic
1555s	turnaround from dark monkeys they really
1556s	did understand the wind conditions and
1558s	when did this engage uh you know we were
1560s	talking to Cal yesterday and they said
1563s	you know the ability to to kite away
1566s	from damaging knowing when a fight is
1569s	done uh and you really carry your losses
1572s	uh and you know keeping yourself in the
1574s	bigger fight uh so that we saw very uh
1576s	very well on display there from Dark
1578s	Monkey so uh we're gonna head now to
1581s	University and I think that this is
1583s	probably going to favor Rift Guardians
1585s	especially if cat is going to come out
1586s	on this ramacha we're gonna see the
1588s	Romantic matchup we're gonna see mirror
1591s	compositions from both sides so it's
1593s	gonna be a race to the amp Matrix first
1595s	and then second after that it's going to
1597s	be a race to the annihilation
1601s	already taking control of High Ground
1603s	roof Guardians trying to put a lot of
1605s	emphasis here barcode on the Hanzo
1607s	immediately head shotting chisado so
1610s	that may already out and this is the map
1612s	you mentioned that has a lot more of
1614s	that for all style here on University
1616s	already though the ultimate's getting
1618s	charged and we see that barcode has
1620s	gotten a lot but chesky just gonna
1622s	counter with the Hanzo of her own and
1624s	able to take it down oh my God May and
1628s	Hamza were both now out of the fight and
1630s	have to try and regroup with the rest of
1632s	the squad which just enables Rift
1633s	Guardians to go absolutely insane uh
1636s	Evie stand in the corner power blocking
1639s	and Nemesis you know maybe it would have
1643s	worked out in Another Universe can't see
1645s	them they can't see me but
1647s	no I mean you're absolutely right just
1650s	the just the turd there from chesty uh
1653s	turning the fight on its head I mean the
1655s	opening pit that came from barcode on
1656s	the chisado really should have put it in
1659s	their favor and now she decided to the
1661s	weight corner and that's the first point
1662s	to pull that wall out to block off uh AV
1664s	from any kind of points
1667s	the way barrier trying to block the
1670s	damage but oh Chicago gets shredded but
1673s	Aspen on the other hand Chessie is doing
1675s	so much work on the Hanzo being able to
1677s	spam down and in these small spaces
1680s	ramatra just Reigns Supreme in the
1683s	Nemesis form kind of just throw all the
1685s	bunches out dark monkeys Force back into
1688s	spawn and wrist Guardians are still
1690s	looking for more aramori on the Baptist
1692s	really lending to this bursty brawl play
1695s	style in terms of healing I mean cat uh
1698s	I don't know 40 ahead of you yeah that's
1701s	that's that's the big kicker right now
1703s	is how much work uh the cat's getting
1704s	done in that and then another one with a
1706s	high ground rotation I like a split but
1709s	they need to get a the dragon strike on
1710s	at least that's a huge hit coming out
1712s	from overboard though neutralizing the
1715s	dragon strike in this fight cat is going
1717s	to go ahead and force the annihilation
1719s	through the dragon strike does come in
1721s	from dark monkeys and a student fighting
1723s	a number onto cat but they still have so
1726s	much to deal with the blizzard coming
1729s	through but so much damage from dark
1731s	monkeys even without their own ultimate
1734s	to counteract and it is just insane how
1737s	they were able to dance around the wall
1738s	get away from the freezing of the
1740s	blizzard and win that fight to turn
1742s	point
1743s	almost turned that fight around though
1745s	Rift guard is almost held on to the
1747s	point when cat popped that annihilation
1749s	just a couple seconds and a couple extra
1756s	yeah
1758s	incredibly scary
1760s	um
1764s	Dragon strike is
1770s	but
1773s	I think my I think our feet had a little
1775s	bit of a yeah
1777s	we're having a little bit of a technical
1779s	difficulty here but I mean he's holding
1780s	onto the point they've gotten released
1782s	the blizzard here and now they're
1784s	crossing the 50 ones they've got a whole
1786s	hotel
1789s	oh the annihilation from uh from dark
1793s	monkeys but they're trying to counteract
1794s	there's the Matrix they want to get the
1796s	damage through the amp but it's dark
1798s	monkeys that actually find the
1800s	elimination barcode on the Hanzo looking
1802s	to be just as valuable as chesty was in
1805s	that very first half of the round and
1807s	once again dark monkeys hanging on to
1810s	their point however they invested so
1813s	much into that fight and they only have
1815s	that one amp Matrix that's going to be
1817s	coming up unless Barco can build up this
1821s	ultimate very quickly with some quick
1823s	headshots Dart monkeys they're looking
1825s	to be in a very uncertain position with
1827s	the annihilation coming in hot now to
1830s	use it there's a dust it up right now
1832s	and this amp they just don't be huge
1833s	they're gonna have everybody in the wine
1835s	sight to be able to use the best
1836s	advantage
1838s	the annihilation from cat just as we
1840s	called it coming through the immortality
1842s	the annihilation from cat just as we
1844s	call it coming through the immortality
1846s	field though trying to keep zembra alive
1849s	but she thought I was still able to
1850s	finish off the elimination and dark
1852s	monkeys they know when to disengage they
1854s	have to regroup for the next fight but
1856s	barcode goes down a little bit late so
1859s	now that hanza once again the timing is
1861s	definitely going to be a little bit
1862s	risky here especially Rift Guardians now
1865s	surging forward trying to make sure
1867s	they're able to push the spawn of dark
1869s	monkeys so they're just going to channel
1871s	through on the right side they need to
1873s	touch and they need to touch now but
1874s	it's not there Rift Guardians the May
1877s	wall it's so huge and they're able to
1879s	take map one oh man that is that that's
1882s	sad I hate that may while they're on
1885s	University because there's nothing you
1888s	can do there's nothing that you can do
1890s	against it especially if you're just
1891s	trying to rush the point they just throw
1893s	up the beautiful wall planning barcode
1895s	here absolutely win cam have a fantastic
1898s	map really did match just the low for
1901s	blow so I mean here uh in the first map
1904s	I mean it's gonna go I I think this is
1905s	where it's going to be all evening long
1907s	here in our semi-final tala because I
1910s	mean these there's not much between
1912s	these two teams they are out for blood
1913s	they are out uh to prove that they are
1916s	the best and they want to take this
1917s	minor win I mean they're going to be one
1919s	step closer should they win this but man
1921s	back and forth uh I I don't there's like
1924s	I said it's a it's a scale balance right
1927s	now for me trying to decide who's going
1929s	to win this out uh I think tank wise I I
1932s	think that K uh that cat might be just a
1935s	little bit better uh than Evie but I
1938s	think with the DPS completely even and
1940s	the healing resources coming from
1942s	Dartmouth because I'm gonna give the
1943s	dart monkeys uh that Advantage so I mean
1946s	you know throw it up in the air tell I
1948s	don't know how this is gonna go down but
1950s	I mean I'm here for it I'm living for it
1952s	I'm ready for it Let's Get It On
1955s	yeah I mean this last map it was just so
1958s	close so down to the wire and speaking
1961s	of the history between these two teams
1963s	Dart monkeys they did play against Rift
1965s	Guardians in the Swiss rounds before the
1968s	seating for playoffs and they actually
1970s	went 2-0 against Art monkeys so I would
1973s	honestly call that a little bit of an
1974s	upset because Rift Guardians as a team
1977s	they don't really have a name for
1978s	themselves like dark monkeys do but they
1981s	were still able to so decisively win in
1983s	the swish stages yep and uh you know I
1986s	mean this is a this is going to come
1987s	down to I think a pick here or there and
1991s	you know you saw the late pick that came
1992s	on barcode they're kind of a staggered
1995s	kill uh trying to disengage I think
1997s	that's part of the reason why it was so
1999s	hard for them to get back but uh we'll
2001s	look we'll look and see what happens uh
2003s	when we go to our hybrid map uh looks
2006s	like we're gonna go uh well we're gonna
2008s	see him we're gonna go to King's Row uh
2010s	for our next map so uh the friendly
2013s	confines of London England will be our
2016s	next map type here and uh make sure
2019s	everybody that you have gone to the load
2021s	screen.gg Twitter page uh and follow the
2024s	directions there because we are giving
2025s	away some swag tonight uh myself and
2028s	tell it all the talent are wearing uh
2031s	the brand new hs80 Corsair wired
2034s	headphones and I mean these these babies
2037s	these work very very nicely I'm very
2040s	very thankful for Corsair for sending us
2042s	out uh some of their merch and uh I tell
2045s	you what you have a chance to win not
2046s	only this headset but also the hs60
2049s	wireless headset as well as a host of
2051s	other items being provided by uh Corsair
2054s	and you'll see me munching on some stuff
2055s	tonight uh we've got some One-Shot
2057s	energy choose uh from one shot energy
2060s	one of our other sponsors here for the
2062s	calling all heroes initiative and I tell
2064s	you what 75 milligrams of caffeine per
2067s	chew I will not consume a whole ton of
2070s	them because you know you need to be
2072s	able to hear what I'm saying if I get
2073s	too much caffeine it's gonna sound like
2075s	a woodpecker I swear guys it's gonna be
2080s	but I I don't want to make everybody's
2082s	ears bleed tonight
2083s	yeah we're just gonna have a little
2085s	[Laughter]
2089s	but I mean headed over to the next map
2091s	King's rope I have to admit I love
2094s	King's Row but also King's Dro once
2096s	again it's one of those maps that it's
2098s	like oh the widowmakers oh the hanzos
2101s	and you just have to watch every single
2103s	sight line with such scrutiny and it
2105s	really changes up the way that you play
2106s	when you are playing against those
2108s	widows those hanzos and I mean it's
2111s	definitely going to be tough but I am
2113s	definitely going to enjoy watching it
2115s	well right now I mean it just depends on
2117s	what school of thought you're looking at
2118s	um I mean yeah ramatra right now is
2120s	rating Supreme uh here in the brawl map
2122s	uh you know good on all three points uh
2126s	it'll depend on what you know Comfort I
2128s	think here for both teams you could
2130s	always you know do the initial look out
2132s	the look out the spawn see if you can
2135s	get an early pick with Widowmaker uh but
2137s	Hanzo uh has a lot more utility here
2139s	especially offensively uh providing the
2142s	vision and then defensively we see a lot
2145s	of Ash come through here so uh we will
2147s	see you know if they decide to run with
2149s	that uh it'll be Dart monkeys on the
2152s	defense and we'll see what kind of a
2154s	lineup they have coming out here uh
2156s	looks like we're gonna have Zen maybe uh
2157s	pulling the echo out I don't hate that
2159s	not a typical pick here uh yeah and this
2163s	is this is much more of what I would
2164s	expect coming through
2166s	yeah I mean we have chisado once again
2169s	trying to make that Genji work and it
2171s	did actually work very well on that
2173s	first map of the Oasis where
2175s	um they were just initially able to find
2179s	a lot of value that gave them that point
2181s	really early and allowed them to build
2183s	up a lot of progress now shusty on the
2187s	on so looking for the picks over through
2189s	already pushed through that first choke
2191s	point and now just spamming down the
2193s	maze Emirate almost went down for that
2196s	but is able to jump puddle up and just
2199s	regain some of that Health a mortality
2202s	field however on both sides we hold
2205s	Downs have already been expended SK got
2207s	aggressive onto snow ski but with a
2210s	storm Arrow people just neutralized Blue
2212s	Shield and that opens so much up for rip
2214s	Guardians to just go ahead and spam away
2217s	at this tank losing a little bit of that
2220s	sustain and dark monkeys they decide
2222s	that they're going to go for a disengage
2224s	or at least try to back off a little bit
2226s	more I need the wall got the mountain
2228s	but a smart wall coming from with the
2231s	icicle to the head there it takes jasada
2232s	down so you're at a plus one early at
2235s	Matrix health
2237s	the app Matrix from Aspen is so early
2240s	and there's a little bit of that line of
2242s	sight onto cat once again that staggered
2245s	ramatra meaning they're missing so much
2247s	of that space maker from this brawl tank
2251s	but we'll see we'll see what uh I mean
2253s	SK got very aggressive there I thought
2256s	they were actually gonna be picked out
2257s	but actually cut out with their lives I
2259s	mean you see it on stream all the time
2259s	now we can see it in person what a pit
2262s	oh the Sonic Arrow that's disrespect
2266s	damn barcode really did not let that
2269s	last map go especially with the Hanzo
2272s	trying to go for the death the amp
2274s	Matrix is out the line of sight just is
2276s	not there especially for barcode it's
2278s	not just squishy Target able to spam for
2280s	free over on the side and the barrier
2282s	from May is going to allow for a little
2284s	bit of Saul time but Rift Guardians
2287s	they're countering with the blizzard and
2289s	the annihilation now Dark Monkey is a
2291s	little bit later to the ultimates but
2293s	even if the pop Annihilation and SK by
2296s	their side Aspen spamming away with the
2299s	guns the burst fire and a team kill for
2301s	Dart monkeys just to open up this map I
2304s	mean both sand berries expended from
2306s	both teams there the big thing right now
2307s	is that Dragon strike is available to
2310s	chesty so you corn off the point here
2312s	use that to get a lot of purchase on the
2315s	point but zemra is ahead in the blizzard
2318s	battle I think that's going to be the
2319s	most impactful ultimate coming up here
2321s	there's the early Dragon strike coming
2322s	out
2324s	it doesn't really find anything but cat
2326s	is able to just push ahead in Nemesis
2328s	form and since they're just all
2330s	corralled in this point trying to avoid
2332s	the dragon strike makes it so easy for
2335s	chisado to basically spam away with the
2337s	ice gun the freeze gun and get a lot of
2340s	value out of that now it's all three
2342s	points just ticked off on the objective
2345s	and allowing the payload to come out of
2346s	the garage pushing down the streets now
2348s	SK over to the Zenyatta I like this a
2351s	little bit more damage uh the Discord
2353s	orb is going to play very uh very well
2355s	here in the streets and of course
2357s	looking to build up the uh the
2359s	Transcendence which will counteract the
2360s	blizzard good Lord
2363s	are having a a a a a a a very friendly
2367s	duel here on the side and I mean they've
2370s	got control of the archway
2373s	yeah they're just using the maywall to
2376s	just try and push up through the choke
2379s	as far as possible but this is just one
2381s	of the tightest Corners in the entirety
2384s	of this map it's going to be very hard
2385s	to force their way through especially
2387s	with the amount of area control that
2389s	they have with the May at their side now
2391s	the dragon strike from Dart monkeys once
2394s	again delay but sure see what was that
2397s	the Hanzo with two and chisato follows
2399s	up very nicely to just get them all out
2403s	of the space Rift Guardians it's off the
2405s	back of that amp Matrix right aramori
2407s	did so much work getting a sight line
2409s	onto all of Dart monkey's players and
2412s	they're just all going to have to back
2413s	off and I mean the animatrix helps build
2415s	up most of the extra whey there for cats
2418s	Annihilation coming into this next fight
2420s	so yes uh SK needs to land a couple
2422s	volleys from the Zenyatta I mean you do
2425s	have the blizzard gonna be available to
2427s	both sides but the big kicker here and
2429s	you're gonna see this from chesty when
2430s	they do set up this uh this drag it's
2433s	not necessarily a kill uh killing
2435s	ultimate it's a space taking ultimate
2438s	yeah I'm just really trying to force
2440s	those players forward to avoid it and
2442s	immediately forcing the fool down as
2444s	well out of that may now behind the wall
2448s	they have the Frozen ramatra so Edie is
2450s	going to be able to survive but once
2452s	again trading the maze one for one jono
2455s	with the sound barrier trying to save
2457s	from the Transcendence as well as gay on
2460s	the other side pretty similar ultimates
2462s	in terms of that power to keep your team
2465s	alive with the annihilation from Evie is
2468s	looking to be top the power of luck is
2470s	able to absorb so much damage in the
2472s	annihilation still just taking away at
2475s	the health bars it's not enough there's
2477s	not enough follow-up from the rest of
2479s	Dart monkey's Squad and they can't
2481s	confirm the eliminations however they're
2482s	able to delay for just a little bit
2484s	longer still a minute and a half left to
2487s	push right very close to this last point
2489s	the rip Guardians they're looking pretty
2491s	comfortable oh that's a big pick that's
2493s	a big pick at a good trade there from
2495s	Chester though
2497s	you have once again the immortality
2499s	field coming out to save the rest of
2501s	these squishy characters especially with
2504s	justado now going down and the dragon
2506s	strike to run through chesky still
2509s	trying to Zone still trying to force
2511s	them further towards the side and it did
2513s	work for the moment but once again the
2514s	follow-up wasn't there chesky with a
2517s	jumping shot from the bow is able to hit
2520s	the headshot onto Emirates zemrick
2522s	though and that just going to make dark
2524s	monkeys a little bit more scared around
2526s	the corner wow a barcode uh not sure
2529s	what that Dragon strike was but uh
2531s	you'll build it up quick enough the fact
2533s	that we're looking at jasada right now
2534s	going back over to the May and taking
2537s	down that one pick potential there that
2539s	is going to be a massive undertaking
2541s	year less than 20 seconds here to take
2543s	this point they are going to get into
2544s	the boundary with a bound you know 18
2548s	seconds there so yeah add a minute 30
2549s	onto that 145 to get through the rest of
2553s	the King's Row here and ultimates
2555s	looking pretty even here Aspen just a
2557s	little bit behind they did put out that
2558s	amplification Matrix later
2560s	but now it's about High Ground Control
2562s	it's about chesty versus uh barcode and
2565s	well just took a body shot there from
2567s	chesty barcode needs to be a very
2569s	cognizant of where chesty is and what
2571s	kind of resources they have on top there
2573s	with them
2574s	yeah rip guardian's ultimate economy is
2576s	just looking a little bit healthier as
2578s	well they're closer to the ultimates and
2580s	Jonah was building up that sound barrier
2582s	so quickly Jeske now having barcode out
2585s	of the fight and only a 40 ultimate as
2587s	well so it's going to make it so hard to
2589s	get this Dragon strike in and that's gay
2591s	oh my God walked right into Jesse's
2594s	cross there there's Chef skis going in
2596s	absolutely insane is on a tear and now
2600s	it just looks like this round is so
2603s	dominant especially this third point
2605s	from Rift Guardians blizzard and
2607s	Annihilation ready to go here barcode
2609s	over to their favorite Bastion so I mean
2611s	that Shield's gonna be very very uh lame
2614s	indeed
2615s	the blizzard does come through both maze
2618s	just Turtle trying to avoid the damage
2620s	both lizards now out and the
2621s	annihilation from Evie cat is eliminated
2625s	so no Annihilation to be popped by the
2627s	offensive tank and they're still trying
2629s	to contest so hard but it's just a few
2632s	meters a quarter of a meter to get them
2634s	ourselves onto the end of this point
2636s	Aspen is able to confirm the kill onto
2638s	chisado and our Mori is isolated power
2641s	block to disengage from Evie and the
2644s	rest of the squad is just able to back
2646s	up Round the Corner hold the choke with
2648s	only 10 seconds left over Rift Guardians
2651s	it looks like they might have to
2653s	surrender this one but they are still
2655s	running it all the way down to the point
2656s	barcode has taken out the Baskin and is
2660s	able to spam down from afar even with
2662s	the annihilation even with the anonymous
2664s	form of so much damage done to cat and
2667s	chisado on the Genji thinks that they
2670s	might be able to do some damage here but
2672s	now the zoning ultimate the artillery
2675s	strike there is no way that there's
2676s	going to come a touch from Rift
2678s	Guardians and only two points but it was
2681s	close for that first round it really was
2683s	and I mean you break swaps there coming
2686s	from Dart monkeys in the end uh they
2690s	deny the full capture of King's Row
2692s	shisado verse is uh zamarit has been a
2696s	secondary DPS battle that has really
2698s	been enthralling the air uh the two Maze
2701s	and watching you know go back between
2704s	the May and the Tracer uh when the when
2707s	it was necessary uh really shows the
2709s	flexibility uh I love what she is
2713s	bringing to this right now
2715s	the take battle once again cat was
2718s	really getting the better end of it uh
2720s	over over Evie's but I think that the uh
2722s	the support once again coming from Dart
2724s	monkeys is just a little bit better than
2726s	what you see out of Johnny and our Maury
2728s	so I mean it's it's a knife's edge right
2731s	now and dark monkeys need to get this uh
2734s	they need to get themselves Square here
2736s	in our semifinals they've got four
2738s	minutes on the clock uh to capture point
2741s	a I I don't know I don't know about this
2744s	uh somber pick if they do decide to go
2746s	with this what is the hack Target is it
2748s	gonna be the May uh is it going to be
2750s	era Mori uh to deny the uh the
2752s	immortality barrier to kind of or you
2754s	know do you hack the immortality barrier
2756s	when they do deploy it so I mean if they
2758s	do decide to go with this uh this isn't
2760s	looking like a little bit different of a
2762s	composition that a lot of teams are not
2764s	running it may catch them by surprise
2766s	well I say that of course they debate me
2769s	yeah I was looking at the Reinhardt too
2772s	and I was like huh that's interesting I
2775s	don't think they're going don't actually
2776s	do that and they didn't they just switch
2779s	over to the rumatra it's the same mirror
2781s	composition that we saw there was a
2783s	little bit of diversity in the support
2784s	picks for a second but it's just going
2786s	back to what they know and right now
2789s	trying to Ring Around the Rosie once
2791s	again playing around this circle and
2793s	forcing the cool down the walls out of
2797s	the may but it still allows Rift
2798s	Guardians a little bit more space now
2800s	immortality Fields out for Dart monkeys
2803s	just giving them that extra
2804s	survivability what
2806s	they just traded each other so quickly
2809s	chassis able to take down barcode and
2811s	forcing them to have that walk back from
2813s	Spawn but Evie making space on the
2816s	ramatra this is a very quick capture
2818s	from Dart monkeys for that very first
2821s	point already one tick going through and
2824s	Evie is still just being that space
2826s	maker but now isolated in front of the
2828s	wall going to half the fort put down the
2829s	void barrier and still avoid getting
2832s	their life eliminated though so they
2834s	will have the payload out here very
2836s	quickly five minutes to make their way
2838s	through streets I mean they're gonna
2839s	have I mean they're like two and a half
2841s	minutes faster so I mean this is the
2843s	potential to snowball very quickly
2845s	chisado has to be smart with the wall
2847s	here and chesty with the Faller uh far
2850s	back positioning around bookstore
2851s	looking for that one pick potential
2853s	looking to set up the Sonic Arrow uh for
2855s	the positioning so it's just how to can
2857s	get out a great wall and holding off
2859s	Evie from the rest of the team
2862s	yeah it was definitely looking very
2864s	dicey for Evie but there's the wall once
2866s	again it's happened again you have Evie
2868s	separated from the team the immortality
2870s	field is going to save and keep the team
2872s	alive for a second and Evie goes ahead
2875s	and forces that ultimate through but in
2877s	the midst of the blizzard it is not
2879s	enough Evie does Fall and the rest of
2881s	the dark monkeys left without their tank
2883s	left without their Shield they're going
2885s	to have to round back around the corner
2886s	instead of forcing their way through the
2888s	payload especially with that amp Matrix
2890s	to come through they are incredibly
2892s	Squishy in the face of that ultimate oh
2894s	they're not they're not giving up here
2896s	uh they're they're gonna go and push
2897s	forward Evie and we'll be back taxi back
2899s	by SK sound barrier for both teams here
2902s	the big problem is that cat did not let
2904s	loose with their Annihilation so they're
2906s	going to have that contest around the
2907s	second quarter here but you do have
2910s	zemrick with this lizard this is gonna
2914s	be a big pick potential
2917s	did the dragon strike to come through
2919s	both of the sound barriers now being
2921s	popped in the blizzard as well from dark
2923s	monkeys makes it so that rib Guardians
2926s	are gonna have to back all the way up
2927s	that area of control was just too
2929s	aggressive and barcode being oppressive
2932s	with the bow on the Hanzo as well chesty
2935s	and barcode is just fight of a century
2937s	right now and dragon strike in that
2940s	fight made it so much easier for that
2941s	blizzard to find its Mark now Rift
2944s	Guardians having the long walk back from
2946s	Spawn and already dark monkeys you can
2948s	see how far they push up every single
2950s	time they have control they are not
2952s	afraid to push even further and make it
2955s	that much easier for them to capture the
2957s	annihilation should come out here from
2959s	cat uh once the dragon truck is through
2961s	but there it is I'm gonna pop it right
2963s	now
2964s	the dragon strike trying to Corral and
2967s	chesty it's still once again the storm
2969s	areas it's gonna take down a barcode and
2972s	dark monkeys they are not afraid to
2974s	disengage after this not only does great
2976s	disengage uh yeah the fact that now you
2978s	are going to have you know the the
2980s	dragon strike Advantage you're gonna
2981s	have the annihilation Advantage as well
2983s	you're gonna have to dislodge chesty
2985s	though here on The High Ground providing
2987s	not only the one pick potential but also
2989s	the vision uh and the zoning that will
2992s	come from behind that look at this
2993s	rotation though coming around the
2994s	backside then don't know it's coming
2997s	oh my gosh they're able to just come
3000s	through it's the wall once again to Zone
3002s	them off make sure that they don't go
3003s	through but the amp nature quickly
3005s	destroys the barrier and dark monkeys is
3008s	looking for a very quick pig xembrick is
3010s	able to find it onto cat missing the
3013s	tank now in the annihilation with only
3014s	squishy targets left over it's just a
3017s	quick cleanup and easy way to push the
3020s	point on to point B I mean smart usage
3022s	there just the app Matrix to open up
3024s	give them the opening and blast through
3026s	the wall and then confirming on the back
3029s	of the annihilation absolutely perfectly
3031s	played they've got three minutes 30
3033s	seconds to get just about to the end of
3036s	King's Row you need to look for once
3038s	again barcodes taking High Ground here
3043s	oh my goodness this is just so chaotic
3048s	around the corner they're taking control
3049s	of the choke though the void barriers
3052s	from both rumachas to come through and
3054s	now the Nemesis form in the face of the
3057s	Blizzard from Rift guardians but it's
3059s	another blizzard to come through from
3061s	zimbrit to try and counter and it's
3063s	embrits coming out just a little bit
3065s	later allows them to make the space
3066s	around the corner but just solder with
3068s	the pick onto barcode means a player
3071s	down on Dart monkeys it's just a little
3073s	bit less of that Firepower especially
3075s	with barcode being able to spam from so
3077s	far away chesty takes advantage of it
3080s	zemrich's just not able to contest those
3082s	long ranges and they're going to back
3084s	right up to the payload and make sure
3086s	that it's pushing back into Dart
3088s	monkey's spawn I mean we're looking at a
3090s	at a ultimate battle here for Dart
3093s	monkeys they're gonna have both their
3094s	support ultimates coming into this fight
3095s	but it's all about getting the space
3098s	first off and that's an early Dragon
3099s	strike coming through
3102s	oh dark monkeys and they are forced back
3106s	just a little bit further just a little
3108s	bit more of that delay with Chef skis
3111s	but now barcode is just going to
3113s	counteract that jono knowing that they
3115s	can't get out of the way the sound
3116s	barrier has to come through the amp
3118s	Matrix Stout from Aspen the dark monkeys
3121s	is nowhere close by to be able to use it
3123s	and now cat is just completely zoned.e.v
3127s	has been in front of the wall and just
3129s	has to use that power block but not able
3131s	to confirm the elimination it's actually
3133s	dark monkeys now coming out on top after
3135s	Rift Guardians they go a little bit too
3137s	aggressive with that push they had the
3140s	Reliance on that sound barrier on the
3142s	dragon strike but it didn't do enough I
3145s	mean they invested both support
3147s	ultimates there so I mean that really
3148s	does confirm the piper that the big
3150s	thing that I saw there from that last
3151s	fight is that zebra actually surpassing
3153s	chisado was 20 down in blizzard
3156s	generation now has it online
3160s	now the blizzard once again that you
3162s	just mentioned being used in the corner
3164s	making sure that chisado just cannot
3166s	participate in the fight and right after
3168s	coming out of Iceberg has the
3171s	annihilation right inside of her face as
3174s	gay however is the one that's finding
3176s	the eliminations just riding those walls
3179s	making sure that there's so much space
3181s	made and dark monkeys they win map too I
3185s	mean this was a support difference here
3187s	uh I mean both the DPS lines doing
3190s	everything they can the tank play from
3193s	cat was great once again but it came
3195s	down to Ultimate rotations especially in
3198s	the support role and I think that's
3199s	where we saw the big difference chesty
3201s	had a hell of a map here uh really
3204s	lending their strength to their team and
3207s	I mean I tell you what chesson just had
3209s	one of the best uh Hanzo performances
3211s	that I've seen in quite a while getting
3213s	so much value uh and really just popping
3216s	up where you didn't expect it you saw
3218s	the coordinating off the sectioning of
3220s	the team games with those Dragon strikes
3221s	really uh was impactful but in the end
3224s	dark monkeys once again they smartly
3226s	rotated their ultimates they had the
3228s	economy down pat and that's why they
3230s	take such a commanding win here on
3232s	King's Row
3234s	yeah a dark monkeys they're attacking
3236s	half especially they're just so good at
3239s	making that space and they are not
3241s	afraid to try and coordinate off of
3243s	these players just inside of the point
3247s	but the point was actually when they did
3250s	find that space as well after they won a
3252s	fight Evie was always forcing a little
3255s	bit further forward as well making sure
3257s	that they just have that little bit of
3259s	extra Firepower deal with they are more
3261s	careful when they are making their way
3263s	back to the objective and then that
3264s	gives dark monkeys just so much more
3267s	wiggle room in the grand scheme of
3268s	things those few extra seconds is what
3271s	it takes to push them over the edge and
3273s	give them that edge when it comes to the
3276s	objective yeah and I mean smart
3277s	disengages too I think that's another
3279s	Hallmark of what dark monkeys did so
3281s	well here uh in Q's rose that they were
3283s	able to disengage uh they had smart
3285s	swaps of their own and we saw chisado
3287s	going back and forth between the Tracer
3290s	and the May uh barcode coming out with
3292s	the Bastion was the wrinkle that nobody
3294s	expected and I got the maximum value
3297s	there so I mean you know for these two
3299s	teams I mean they're fighting for Glory
3301s	and Honor huzzah uh and they're bringing
3304s	it here in our in our minor semi-finals
3307s	so you know we'll see uh what comes up
3310s	next it'll be escort as our next map
3312s	type and I mean thoughts of where we
3315s	might go Dorado uh comes to mind first
3318s	for me I think Dorado is a is a fun uh
3321s	first map to go to uh as far as uh the
3325s	escorts
3326s	um we'll see we'll see actually how they
3329s	want to play this
3330s	it looks like for our next map we are
3333s	actually going to Havana so it's dark
3337s	monkeys that are going to be starting
3339s	over on the defense while
3344s	while rip Guardians are started on the
3346s	attack so it's going to be the same
3348s	thing that we saw on that hybrid map
3350s	where dark monkeys start trying to stall
3353s	and Rift Guardians going on the
3355s	offensive but this time instead of that
3357s	first point which I think is what cost
3359s	Rift Guardians most of their time
3361s	they're immediately going for the escort
3362s	so it's definitely going to be
3364s	interesting to see how that changes
3366s	things up well it depends on if we go
3368s	for uh for a close hold I mean there are
3371s	two different uh schools of thought here
3373s	as far as Havana do you go for the close
3376s	hold on try and burn as much time as you
3379s	can uh and get thereby giving yourself
3381s	you know at least two or three more
3383s	fights uh they're on point a uh or do
3386s	you play back uh do you come out with
3388s	the double sniper look that also is very
3390s	popular here uh Sigma is a great uh tank
3393s	here a lot of teams do go to the
3395s	symmetry look they also bring the
3396s	ramatra as well and junker Queen can
3399s	play very well here as well so uh really
3402s	it's going to come down to what kind of
3404s	composition are we going to see coming
3405s	out from Dart monkeys first I think
3407s	that's where we will you know take our
3409s	first Peak uh defensively uh for the
3413s	dart monkeys I I think that you know
3414s	they should be expecting uh a little bit
3417s	of trickery uh coming out from the rift
3420s	Guardians uh you know they they don't
3422s	like they don't take very kindly to
3424s	losing Maps uh not having lost very maps
3426s	on their way to the semifinals here so
3428s	uh we'll take a look we'll take a look
3430s	and see what they've got going on but
3432s	man I mean this is a this is a one of
3434s	those matchups where
3436s	I I don't want anybody to lose because
3439s	they're playing so well uh I mean it's
3441s	smart it's thoughtful it's very planned
3443s	out I mean you can tell the coordination
3444s	between both the teams here it's dancing
3447s	on on a razor's edge here and I think
3449s	that's you know a Real Testament to how
3451s	good these two teams are and I mean it
3453s	just shows how good this initiative is
3455s	for everybody
3457s	yeah I mean you can tell that Dart
3458s	monkeys is already doing better than
3461s	they did in the Swiss stage so I mean
3464s	they went 2-0 against or O2 against rip
3467s	Guardians in Swiss stage so now already
3469s	in the semi-finals they are doing much
3471s	better and they also have that extra map
3474s	since it is first to three to like kind
3476s	of experiment a little bit or just uh
3478s	lose a little bit of ground and now
3480s	Havana like you talked about is a little
3482s	bit more of that diverse map and dark
3484s	monkeys they love those dive
3486s	compositions as well with SK and Aspen
3489s	being on the kiriko and Lucio
3491s	respectively uh so they it allows them
3494s	to be able to play that if riff
3497s	Guardians do decide to go for those more
3499s	long-range compositions or if they go
3501s	brawl then it's really a head-to-head it
3504s	can really swing either way when it
3505s	comes to those uh close arranged
3507s	engagements well I mean here is a map
3509s	where you know especially a Havana and
3513s	if you're gonna run uh with the double
3515s	sniper look which it looks like dark
3516s	monkeys are going to show here with the
3519s	sigma so I don't mind this necessarily I
3523s	would like to see
3525s	um maybe the Anna come out here from uh
3527s	from Rift Guardians uh when they do
3528s	bring out their composition and I said
3530s	you know we might be seeing uh so some
3533s	trickery we'll see if riff Guardians
3535s	bring something different out because
3537s	you've got a double sniper look so
3538s	you've got Vision you've got two one
3541s	shot potentials a volley from SK can
3542s	take somebody down in a hurry as well uh
3545s	Sigma versus ramatra I have not
3548s	personally seen this matchup in higher
3550s	level play so we'll see actually how
3553s	this works out for them
3555s	come on
3557s	seems like for now Dark Monkey is
3560s	holding very very passive uh all the way
3563s	back around the corners I think they're
3565s	looking to take someone off guard just
3567s	like we just saw barcode do against
3569s	justado what a pick to open things up
3572s	and now it's looking like they're just
3575s	going to wait to regroup but rematch was
3577s	allowed to just kind of hang back and
3580s	hide behind this payload so now barcode
3582s	looking for a better angle trying to
3585s	round around to get a shot onto cat here
3587s	and not allowing the tank to just hide
3589s	behind this payload once again not being
3591s	contested by Dart monkeys they're
3593s	playing the range game they're trying to
3596s	be far back and Aspen is actually the
3598s	one to confirm the kill with the help of
3600s	the Discord orb from ascay allowing a
3602s	lot more damage to be taken by that
3604s	rimatra especially outside of the
3606s	Nemesis form basically just like a paper
3608s	tank in that point now they're going to
3611s	go ahead push that payload a little bit
3613s	further back is Emperor it's still yet
3615s	to find Value on the Widow But Nice Shot
3617s	take down a little bit of that Health
3620s	but it's immediately healed back up
3622s	really looking for the squishies now
3624s	shusty taking a close range of
3627s	Engagement out of the Han so trying to
3629s	work their way through this little room
3631s	and push around to that payload collect
3634s	it back into their hands and also take
3635s	control of The High Ground
3637s	SK got out very uh very very closely
3641s	there because the Sonic Arrow from Jesse
3643s	actually caught them as you saw it going
3644s	through there's a there's the reason why
3646s	you played the Widowmaker here is the
3648s	fashions that you go in I mean and there
3650s	is a big rock coming through SK does
3652s	take them down trades are coming through
3654s	Paula
3656s	uh this is just such a good back and
3659s	forth from dark monkeys and biscardians
3660s	thus far but the Transcendence oh my God
3663s	it doesn't save Evie Evie just taken too
3666s	much damage too fast and now even with
3669s	the gravitic flux from Evie ready it
3672s	cannot be used in rip Guardians they're
3674s	allowed to get their hands on this
3675s	payload and just push it that much
3677s	further forward it's a long walk back
3679s	from Spawn four Dart monkeys especially
3681s	with the Champions that they have it's
3684s	SK you know that hero not too Mobile on
3687s	the Zenyatta and the Widow a little bit
3689s	of Mobility but still gonna be a tough
3691s	one the guruvic flux and the dragon
3693s	strike could potentially save this but
3696s	it's looking like they might give this
3698s	point away as they say that immediately
3701s	sound barrier from Rift Guardians to
3703s	react to the dragon strike in the
3704s	graphics plus doesn't do anything Evie
3707s	immediately just spammed down and taken
3710s	out barcode as well will fall to chesky
3713s	the resident Hanzo hero play
3716s	well we're gonna I think we're gonna see
3718s	some swaps maybe come through oh yeah
3720s	there we go going over to a little bit
3722s	more uh utility uh with the ash you'll
3724s	have the dynamite uh be able to burn and
3728s	force resources out of grip Guardians uh
3730s	SK though on the Zenyatta I mean what's
3732s	getting value the Discord orb is doing
3734s	his job they just didn't have uh the
3735s	connection that you were talking about
3737s	from zembroke on the widowmakers now uh
3739s	it's all about rotating here getting the
3742s	dislodgement of rip Guardians off The
3744s	High Ground and they're going into two
3746s	DPS ultimates
3748s	yeah with chesky and chisado of both
3752s	having their ultimates ready there's
3754s	just so much zoning that can happen with
3756s	those with blizzard and dragon strike
3758s	and we also see the annihilation is
3760s	close to being activated as a well
3762s	barcode it does have control of the top
3765s	of these tubes right now but it should
3767s	be fairly easy to force her off of this
3770s	High ground with the dragon strike and
3773s	now the blizzard to come through it does
3775s	Zone quite a bit away from the amp
3777s	Matrix which was their goal make sure
3779s	that they can't get spammed down through
3781s	that amplification barrier and instead
3784s	just keep pushing this payload however
3786s	now with Evie on the sigma looking for
3790s	something new but cat on the
3792s	annihilation is able to just counter
3795s	once again barcode is failing to find
3797s	that value and is just unable to make
3800s	the space that she needs to make unlike
3803s	chesky who has just been consistently
3805s	Landing these shots uh no contest there
3807s	either kind of shocking there but I
3809s	think that they want to take a closer
3810s	hold here and jono getting the
3813s	elimination there on SK that is a
3815s	massive massive pick no Discord orb to
3818s	help chunk down these higher value
3819s	targets and I mean you can see you were
3822s	right uh Marco cheese has not been
3824s	getting it done here like we saw there
3826s	on King's Road
3829s	and Evie is really trying to mitigate
3831s	all of this damage that is coming their
3833s	way but once again with that uh Zenyatta
3837s	is really about the target selection
3838s	chesky now once again barcode has been
3841s	taken down the elimination is just so
3843s	consistent onto this dark monkey's Hanzo
3846s	and Evie even with the barriers and the
3849s	gravitic flux residic look was just such
3852s	a spectacular meltdown when it came to
3855s	the damage but the bomb now coming
3856s	through that sixth player trying to spam
3859s	down the damage Evie's able to find the
3862s	elimination onto cat and force Rift
3864s	Guardians back shasado on the Genji a
3866s	little bit too far in could not escape
3868s	and chisado does fall however the dragon
3872s	strike from dark monkeys finally built
3874s	up by barcode is able to Zone a bit
3876s	Eevee eliminates the immortality field
3879s	to try and find the picks but rip
3881s	Guardians they just have the sustain now
3883s	Chesney with a dragon strike upper oh
3886s	December it falls to it what
3888s	Aspen both of them were contesting that
3891s	payload and there was nowhere for them
3893s	to go I mean I I I'm that's a head
3895s	scratcher they were winning the fight
3897s	they don't secure the kills in the small
3898s	room there and chesty just turns it
3901s	around with the dragon strike and a head
3903s	shot this is scary we're coming in cat
3906s	over the sigma of their own they're
3907s	gonna have that advantage in their favor
3909s	yeah the Transcendence from SK this is
3912s	just the only thing that they can really
3914s	do at this point to just contest that
3916s	point and still dark monkeys do have a
3919s	player sitting on it but Evie it has to
3922s	dance around and make sure that there's
3923s	no sight lines from Rift Guardians to
3926s	switch on to the Mantra is good but rip
3929s	Guardians have switched on to the stigma
3930s	now they're able to just get a lot of
3933s	damage down especially around these
3935s	Corners with sigma's primary fire and
3937s	the Dragon Blade coming through chesty
3939s	and aramori are doing all the damage
3942s	though in Rift Guardians with barely a
3944s	contest and one minute and 30 seconds
3946s	left over take one round to three points
3950s	I tell you what uh the the once they got
3954s	past that you know the first corner on
3956s	point a there was really never a second
3959s	engage that came from uh that came from
3962s	Dart monkeys there they just were on the
3964s	back foot the entirety of this map and I
3968s	think that late pits coming through
3969s	staggers coming out I mean barcode was
3972s	getting cut out time and time again
3973s	chesty really has uh ramped up the uh
3978s	the accuracy here uh in Habana that we
3981s	you know was lacking a little bit there
3984s	in King's Row I tell you what uh Rift
3987s	Guardians really you know ratcheting up
3990s	the pressure here now you know they were
3994s	missing out on a lot of healing too SK
3996s	playing the Zenyatta uh they I mean they
3999s	just they did not have uh the same value
4001s	that jono and Armory are having in their
4004s	support line so here you know in Havana
4006s	uh Rift Guardians have the support
4008s	advantage and yeah we're gonna see SK go
4010s	over to uh the the Hond or to the uh to
4013s	the Lucio here so I mean we're gonna
4016s	have we're gonna have mirror comps here
4018s	uh I mean they're gonna play sneaky
4020s	sneaky here uh try to get a wall up and
4023s	and burst down Evie uh and then you know
4025s	try to get this close hold going on
4029s	okay they are going for the close hold
4031s	early like you called but they're
4033s	actually just all going to funnel out of
4035s	the right exit of their spawn and it's
4038s	still getting spammed down barcode
4039s	though they're going to step up now
4041s	she's able to find one here and after
4044s	that may wall is destroyed it's able to
4047s	spam a shot on to cat but after that
4049s	first initial pick oh shusky does fall
4051s	barcode is stepping up on the attack and
4054s	Aspen just finishes off cat Dart
4057s	monkey's excellent start the close hold
4059s	for Rift Guardians just doesn't work out
4061s	and that gives a lot of the ultimate
4063s	charge to Dart monkey's side and they're
4065s	out yeah they're able to go forward now
4067s	and hold the uh hold the approach here
4070s	from Rift Guardians uh LG season is upon
4074s	us here in Missouri by the way sorry for
4075s	that big hit once again right off the
4077s	gate from barcode
4079s	yeah barcode is really just keeping Pace
4082s	now or outpacing
4084s	oh once we switch over to the side of
4087s	the escorts and Evie is also able to do
4090s	a lot of isolation onto cat cat
4092s	immediately goes down after zembra is
4095s	able to go around the main wall and jono
4098s	still try and contest the point all of
4100s	Rift Guardians fall once again a second
4103s	kill fight one from Dart monkeys that is
4107s	fantastic from them I mean the focus
4109s	fire is so good these opening picks
4111s	coming from barcode turning a fight you
4113s	know really into their favor before it
4115s	ever even gets started so this is what
4117s	dark monkeys Is providing right now this
4119s	is actually going to be a great answer
4121s	to the time that we saw coming up from
4123s	rip Guardians oh and this is exactly
4126s	what both of these Nays goal is to
4128s	isolate both tanks but with the
4129s	annihilation from Evie out it's going to
4132s	be that much easier in barcode oh my
4135s	goodness but I think I think barcode
4137s	heard us I think she is a a little bit
4139s	offended that we were just so team
4142s	chesky in that last round and she's just
4145s	going to prove us wrong
4147s	I mean wow just wow I mean lands the
4151s	Sonic Arrow there as well claiming The
4153s	High Ground for their own she is putting
4155s	on a heck of a performance here at Rift
4158s	Guardians they are reeling from what
4160s	just happened to them on point a 4 15 to
4164s	get through the Distillery
4167s	yeah and this is also a very very hard
4170s	point for them to hold they are all just
4173s	corralled in a little room as barcode is
4175s	allowed to spam away for free over here
4179s	across but now they're trying to jump
4180s	onto the Hanzo barcode better run than
4183s	she does she just runs with the tail
4185s	between her legs and there's no shame in
4187s	that the dragon strike does come through
4189s	and with the help of the blizzard Evie
4191s	actually gets chunked but they're able
4193s	to just get that right back up shasky
4196s	however they're just going to try and
4198s	answer back to what barcode has been
4200s	bringing on point a able to take out the
4202s	Hanzo but the Hanzo on the way back now
4205s	and there's still yet to find a second
4209s	pick they're still contesting that
4211s	payload though Evie has been isolated
4213s	there's a sound barrier from SK but it
4215s	actually doesn't get on to Evie because
4218s	of the maywole huge value from justado
4220s	to win that fight and swing it in their
4222s	Direction now it's staggered pick onto
4225s	barcode means that there's going to be a
4227s	little bit more time to solve for Rift
4229s	Guardians the uh the the kicker there is
4231s	that SK
4233s	uh puts out the Panic sound barrier to
4234s	try and save their tank and it goes for
4236s	not so now it's a free Annihilation
4239s	nothing to really defend against it
4240s	except for that measly little
4242s	immortality barrier
4244s	barcode's gonna have to come up big here
4245s	uh they've been doing it so far uh here
4247s	on the attack phase they need to do it
4249s	again they're a little bit ahead of that
4250s	right now there's the annihilation now
4253s	yeah this is exactly what we expected
4255s	and there's the immortality field that
4257s	is easily broken by cat and in turn Evie
4260s	does fall very quickly and the
4263s	annihilation is coming back up very
4265s	quickly for Evie but other than that
4267s	Rift Guardians that fight was so free
4269s	for them especially since they were able
4271s	to zone is so well with the maywall and
4273s	just separate the supports from the tank
4275s	very quickly I mean you're looking at a
4277s	two-pronged approach here from Rift
4279s	Guardians you're looking at you know a
4281s	cat
4282s	on the left-hand side as we're looking
4285s	for the approach there and then you've
4286s	got that come through cheers again
4288s	massive opening pick
4291s	uh chefsky is just able to do so much on
4295s	the Hanzo and I think it was just a
4297s	little bit of a warm-up back there on
4299s	point a and chefsky's able to get it
4302s	back into her control it's going to be
4304s	smooth sailing from now on or so Rick
4308s	Guardians hopes since they have do have
4310s	that blizzard down and they are just
4312s	completely isolating the support So once
4315s	again SK however answers back onto
4317s	chisato does not take well to being
4319s	corralled in a corner however that is
4322s	going to be all that she wrote one pick
4325s	for Dart monkeys in this fight and once
4327s	again the timer is ticking down low Now
4330s	The Distillery is not looking like dark
4333s	monkey's favorite ground I mean they
4335s	have not been able to penetrate in the
4336s	background or into the back line that's
4338s	the big problem on jono and Armory just
4340s	you know having a wonderful time uh
4342s	maybe thinking about going to brunch
4343s	that's an opening pit that they needed
4345s	there bro
4347s	oh barcode able to find aramore once
4350s	again barcode you gotta be on one you
4352s	gotta be hitting the shots and now
4355s	they're rounding on to the payload
4356s	there's heavily contested though by the
4359s	Lucio and the May and even though
4362s	they're trying to just protect
4363s	themselves with the May while it's not
4365s	enough justado does go down to zamarin
4368s	and they're finally able to win a fight
4371s	since Rift Guardians forced to disengage
4376s	a good amount of time here
4381s	we're approaching the 35 seconds
4391s	well there's
4393s	once again I assume that we are seeing
4397s	that South and bear from jotto come out
4399s	in answer to the annihilation from Evie
4402s	you'll be able to find Two for the
4403s	annihilation that's not something you
4405s	see much these days with romata and now
4408s	Kat completely isolated just being dozed
4411s	down by the flamethrower ice thrower and
4416s	while barcode finishes off Giotto I mean
4418s	yeah this is a uh this is a great uh
4421s	turn here for Dart monkeys now they need
4422s	to get that extra 90 seconds on the
4424s	clock
4425s	uh looking for what Rift Guardians have
4428s	I mean they've got the they've got the
4430s	blizzard ready to go They're gonna have
4432s	Annihilation so what we saw on King's
4435s	Row that was in favor of dark monkeys
4437s	now rip Guardians had their economy in
4439s	favor they should win this easy out
4441s	unless we see once again well I was
4444s	gonna say barcode coming through big but
4446s	they get taken out by cats
4448s	a cat finding barcode it's just so
4451s	valuable to have that Hanzo out of play
4453s	because the main needs to be up close
4455s	and personal and if that may gets
4457s	isolated then it's an easy pickings for
4459s	Rift Guardians the dragons strike from
4462s	all the way back in barcode trying to
4465s	make some space for the team there's the
4467s	sound barrier to save from the blizzard
4469s	but it's not going to matter Evie goes
4471s	down after chesky takes out the
4473s	immortality field and even though Barco
4476s	does find one pick it is not enough now
4479s	30 seconds left over dark monkeys they
4481s	are down to almost zero despite the
4484s	point a was so strong from them they are
4487s	just losing time and bleeding the second
4490s	now just already being spawn camped by
4493s	rip Guardians rip Guardians like you
4495s	said do not take lightly to losing that
4498s	map but they're getting a little bit too
4500s	cocky here shesky still remaining far
4502s	back but oh the Bastion pick from
4504s	barcode once again to pull out a hero
4508s	play out of the back pocket halfway
4510s	charged on the artillery strike but
4513s	there's a dragon strike that is
4515s	available from chesky shesky has just
4517s	been on one this entire game and for
4519s	most of King's Row as well and I expect
4522s	it's not going to be anything different
4523s	in this next fight I mean it's all about
4525s	how do we use this blizzard coming up
4528s	from zebrick you can pour them off an
4530s	area early Wall comes through though
4534s	and the early wall is going to attempt
4536s	to enable the blizzard here they're able
4539s	to take down the immortality barrier but
4541s	our monkey still has their own available
4543s	on top of that they have the app Matrix
4545s	vashesky is doing so much work Justin
4548s	with the Sonic Arrow able to take down
4551s	zembran now without the May in play it's
4553s	an Annihilation fight between the two
4556s	tanks but Evie is so isolated they still
4559s	have that little bit of backup of
4561s	capsule in Nemesis form a little bit of
4563s	that extra help in the pool and they're
4566s	struggling to keep them up but there's
4568s	Bastion as well who's able to tear down
4571s	these May barriers so such ease still
4575s	such a hard choke point for them to
4576s	force themselves through especially with
4578s	John Sebastian and now without the
4580s	configuration chisado bit it almost
4582s	finishing off Bastion still barcode able
4584s	to keep up but not able to stay on the
4588s	point the lack of Mobility does dark
4590s	monkeys in and Rift Guardians they do
4593s	take map 3 free
4595s	well I mean that was comprehensive out
4597s	of Rift Guardians I mean really inside
4599s	The Distillery is where everything fell
4600s	apart uh for dark monkeys they weren't
4603s	able to get on top of the support line
4605s	of rip Guardians and air Mori and jono
4608s	really having a fantastic game here uh
4611s	for their side and yeah just Sato had
4613s	such a impactful uh look there on me uh
4618s	really the walls were perfect uh being
4620s	able to stall out using the ice block
4622s	allowing the rest of the team to get
4624s	back very well coordinated there from
4627s	the dart or from uh from Rift Guardians
4629s	they go up onto match point now it's a
4632s	2-1 lead here Dart monkeys tournament
4634s	lives are on the line tala
4637s	yeah now two won the next map being a
4640s	push map and it's all about that early
4643s	control on push it is definitely going
4646s	to be tough to figure out who's going to
4648s	be able to win this one out
4651s	so you know push I it's just going to be
4656s	a blood bath especially if they do bring
4659s	out this brawl composition once again
4661s	depending on the map you can play the
4663s	junker Queen you can play the ramatra
4665s	and it's just probably going to depend
4666s	on who's going to be able to pull out
4668s	these brawl compositions better if it
4670s	comes down to one of those Maps but we
4673s	are going to have to take a little bit
4675s	of a break before we can get to this
4677s	fourth map and potential final map of
4680s	this entire Series so semi-finals will
4684s	it be over in the next map or will we be
4687s	taken to a map 5 find out on the other
4690s	end of this break

4905s	greetings formal Heroes is important
4908s	because of the safe environment and
4910s	visibility provides the marginalized
4912s	groups competing within the OverWatch
4913s	Community why is it so important well
4916s	they need a voice they need a presence
4918s	and they need our support calling all
4920s	heroes is our chance to kind of change
4923s	that narrative and to prove that if we
4925s	give the talent that is there a place to
4928s	practice and a place to cultivate it
4930s	will inevitably rise
4934s	against you getting shot down last game
4938s	with a big pick on the bundle opens the
4940s	door wide what and Bone the two DPS
4944s	again making the numbers count making
4947s	their ultimates more another sustain
4949s	tool being used in the sound barrier as
4951s	well for the RSL academies everything's
4953s	being thrown into this fight this sun is
4956s	absolutely monstrous

4998s	[Music]
5017s	welcome back we just had a tantalizing
5020s	map of Havana and now we are headed over
5023s	to the push map of ishpuranza over in
5027s	Portugal
5028s	yes uh I mean I think we're gonna see
5031s	drunker Queen come out here honestly
5033s	um such a good map uh for the junker
5036s	Queen being able to control the payload
5038s	uh as Timothy Smite the first gets uh
5041s	gets going
5042s	but uh it's gonna come down to a little
5045s	bit of a pathing issues uh for both
5048s	teams how are they going to defend and
5050s	or try to retake uh the payload uh as we
5053s	go back and forth uh here I think that
5056s	the team that gets to about 100 meters
5058s	uh should be in pretty good stead uh to
5062s	take the map here so I mean here in
5064s	Esperanza looking for uh early picks I
5068s	want to see good counter rotations
5070s	coming from aggression coming uh from
5073s	respective sides uh really Genji works
5076s	very well here as well uh the wall climb
5079s	is very well uh known for being able to
5082s	get in and out of fights the dash resets
5084s	you know because you're having to fight
5085s	on the payload or on the robot there uh
5088s	we'll see we'll see how this actually
5090s	goes through and how it comes to the
5092s	play out but I mean Dart monkeys
5094s	tournament life is on the line here and
5097s	they're facing match points so we want
5099s	to see what do they have uh what kind of
5102s	fight they have left in them because
5103s	we've seen it back and forth Havana was
5106s	probably the most one-sided map I think
5108s	that we've seen all evening between
5109s	these two squads so I I think that for
5112s	Dart monkeys they need to believe in
5114s	themselves uh aspirin has really been
5116s	putting in one hell of a performance
5118s	tonight I I've mentioned how much of a
5120s	fan of uh of hers I am well it's
5123s	definitely uh been Amplified here uh in
5126s	the semi-final but they've got to get it
5128s	done they've got to get it done now
5129s	they've got to get us to a map five and
5130s	take us to another control map
5133s	yeah and I mean we talked about the
5137s	Genji potentially but I think that
5139s	kiriko also with the wall climb can be
5141s	very viable here and I think on every
5143s	single push map you are probably going
5145s	to see the Lucio kiriko combination
5147s	because it's just so much easier to get
5149s	in and out of Spawn if you do get picked
5151s	as well as being able to help the
5153s	teammates out to get closer to this uh
5155s	to the robot as well but it is all about
5157s	those early pushes since defending when
5160s	you start losing on a push map it is
5163s	that much harder to get started instead
5166s	of being stuck in this defensive
5168s	position you need to win a few fights in
5170s	a row in order to flip the objective
5172s	over in your favor yeah that I mean
5174s	getting that first checkpoint is so
5176s	important uh because you're going to
5178s	have forward spawns uh and then you have
5180s	to it's at least you know one fight
5182s	probably two to get it back to that
5184s	Midway point and take away the Ford span
5187s	uh Ford spawn advantage of the other
5189s	team so I mean you know early picks uh
5192s	we've seen both SD and barcode kind of
5196s	trading back and forth I think this is
5197s	going to be another micro moment for us
5200s	in this map
5201s	who's going to come out with the first
5203s	pick I think that's going to be really
5205s	how this sets up I think that a barcode
5208s	gets on top of them early uh and she
5211s	goes ham then that's going to be where
5214s	we see uh dark monkeys go forward if
5216s	it's chesty on the other hand uh you
5218s	know I I'm worried about the dark
5220s	monkey's ability to recontest and flip a
5223s	fight in their favor because they're on
5224s	Havana they looked a little bit
5226s	disjointed I hope that they've taken
5228s	this time you know they've gotten some
5230s	you know non-sponsored energy drinks in
5232s	them uh maybe a shot of espresso or
5235s	something else but I mean for them uh
5237s	they've got to really knuckle down here
5239s	because they are facing their tournament
5241s	lives
5243s	yeah and I mean do you think that we are
5246s	going to see that Hanzo come out again
5249s	because Jesse was just killing it on the
5252s	Hanzo or is it going to be more of those
5254s	Tracer Sombra picks ones that are very
5256s	hyper mobile and make it very easy to
5258s	get in and out because once again the
5260s	push Maps the walks back from Spawn it's
5262s	like I feel like we're going on a hike
5265s	here Anish bronza I mean there's so many
5268s	notes and crannies that that Tracer
5270s	works so incredibly well here
5272s	I I I think that the Sombra uh pick
5274s	would actually be good uh you know in
5277s	combination with uh with that uh Tracer
5280s	so I mean if you can work the dive here
5282s	uh which is what it looks like Rift
5284s	Guardians are gonna bring out uh you're
5286s	going dive versus burst brawl here from
5289s	Dark Monkey self
5291s	this is a this is
5293s	it's a thought that are going to come to
5295s	a very cataclysmic joining here on the
5297s	bond
5298s	oh my goodness but I am loving the
5302s	reaper sojourn pick I feel like this is
5304s	back in like the beta days of OverWatch
5307s	too this is literally what it feels like
5310s	with the pics that we are seeing come
5312s	out right now already they're trying to
5314s	get that hack onto chesky they want the
5316s	surgeon out of the fight early it's not
5318s	gonna work out barcode gonna go on and
5321s	head back and Rift Guardians are going
5323s	or Dart monkeys actually going to be the
5325s	ones that are going to take first
5327s	control of this objective and start
5329s	pushing around the corner I want to see
5333s	this Reaper try and find a little bit of
5334s	value especially since they know that
5336s	Evie does favor the Winston pick over
5339s	here and they're really looking to try
5341s	and get a good counter into this tank
5343s	and get that dive out of the way but
5346s	just Lotto after quite a bit of damage
5348s	it does force Evie very far back so I
5351s	feel like these names are backwards and
5354s	um rip Guardians
5357s	um
5358s	was a little bit lost but it seems like
5361s	the trades do come back and forth Rift
5363s	Guardians continue to push forward dark
5365s	monkeys unable to contest
5368s	they do not add the birth potentials
5370s	Guardians
5371s	the rift Guardians who I mean just the
5373s	uh just the reaper alone is going to
5375s	make TV's like hell and I mean
5377s	zimmerich's gonna have to really come
5379s	out big with a pulse bomb in any the
5381s	Isuzu available from aramore that is
5384s	really where it's gonna go through big
5385s	cats that are on to uh
5390s	oh there's the false bomb and the EMP in
5394s	tandem from dark monkeys they use that
5396s	sound barrier as well but Ascot Falls
5398s	before that Kitsune Rush can come out
5400s	aramuri on the other hand has been able
5402s	to force that team forward a little and
5404s	at least save them from the combination
5406s	of ultimates that was thrown with the
5408s	EMP and pulse bomb both cbs's just
5410s	throwing everything at this fight dark
5413s	monkeys they still cannot get the flip
5415s	on the point though in Rift Guardians
5416s	they are surprisingly close to that
5419s	first checkpoint already I mean I would
5421s	honestly like to see if Erica now here
5423s	Bearer works very well on Esperanza and
5426s	they don't really have much to deal with
5428s	it has been good uh and I mean the
5430s	consider Rush is going to get them
5431s	purchased on the point they actually
5432s	don't get the first point
5434s	okay just before that checkpoint goes
5437s	through dark monkeys are able to flip it
5439s	and run that robot back over to their
5441s	side Evie finding chesty makes it a lot
5445s	easier both dps's now out Rift Guardians
5448s	need to find some way to Dish some
5449s	damage jono trying to find something but
5453s	still even with the wall around December
5455s	it just spams down and Cat and Janna
5457s	both out summer finishings finishes
5460s	things off both of Rift Guardian
5462s	supports out of the fight but it was a
5465s	pretty expensive one they'd have to use
5468s	as Gay's Kitsune rush and aramori on the
5471s	other hand is pretty close to building
5473s	that one up ready to go I mean the good
5475s	thing here for Zimmer though is that
5477s	they almost have pulse bomb uh on line
5479s	once again and I mean looking at the
5482s	disengage they're going to need to be
5483s	able to disengage from this death
5485s	Blossom I think that Evie is gonna have
5487s	to be the one that can test uh the death
5489s	Blossom uh and bats away the uh the
5492s	reaper here because they don't have much
5493s	to deal with any aspects very close
5495s	though on to uh onto their
5498s	sound barrier so they actually made the
5500s	Gap up
5501s	oh Aspen was able to just make that up
5504s	incredibly quickly but with the
5506s	overclock coming out that's what's going
5508s	to force the Primal Rage instead of that
5510s	death Blossom and when the Primal Rage
5512s	comes through jono knows what to do and
5514s	just takes the sound barrier out oh my
5517s	gosh but the overclock from barcode is
5520s	able to find one it's just a trade of
5522s	ultimates and of lives Rift Guardians
5525s	still having control of the robots
5527s	though and they see Evie trying to
5530s	disengage and regroup with the rest of
5531s	the team getting quite a bit of damage
5534s	this Reaper is just doing so well to bat
5537s	away this of this monkey Winston cannot
5541s	get anywhere close to the squad but
5543s	zebra is attempting to contest still
5546s	that checkpoint hasn't been reached just
5548s	yet it seems like it is so close oh wow
5553s	I think they did I think I think they
5556s	barely got it over there uh I'm looking
5559s	at it it's kind of like dancing on that
5560s	line but what a turn there from dark
5562s	monkeys actually winning this fight out
5564s	and pushing forward
5566s	and they have oh my gosh this is
5568s	Emirates what a stick on shazato and now
5571s	Aspen with the sound barrier able to get
5574s	it down and sit so much overhealth to
5576s	this team our Amore taken down no
5579s	supports to try and get this team up and
5583s	back into the fight so it's just going
5585s	to be walking the robot back on over to
5588s	their side and trying to get that push
5590s	started all the way to the checkpoint
5592s	ma'am let me tell you what xamarin that
5595s	was absolutely uh just disgusting I I in
5600s	the most wonderful way and now you've
5602s	got a rampage available here uh or I'm
5606s	sorry a travel range you're available to
5607s	Evie Kat is still looking for their own
5609s	Rampage they're actually going to
5611s	disengage and take another fight
5613s	yeah I mean jono does have that sound
5616s	barrier so it's really easy for them to
5618s	be able to disengage and quickly save
5620s	their squad if anything comes through
5622s	like that Primal Rage from Evie trying
5625s	to get up close and personal but they
5627s	still have shisato just spamming away
5629s	Stevie however guess what not to Chef
5631s	ski so that's without the sojourn now
5633s	they're going to look for the Kitsune
5635s	rush to potentially get a little bit
5637s	more Firepower on their side than they
5640s	are able to take control of the
5642s	objective but as soon as they get to the
5644s	underpass they are once again met with
5646s	the full face of zebra pulse bomb the
5649s	overclock from barcode has been built up
5651s	incredibly fast as well that Rampage
5654s	doesn't hit anybody and they're just all
5656s	getting out of the way Aspen taking down
5658s	shizano and means another control of the
5661s	objective and it's just rip Guardians
5663s	all Corral into this little room barcode
5666s	taking control of The High Ground
5667s	knowing exactly where shusky is they
5670s	can't get away it's all left up to one
5673s	one just hiding in this little room
5675s	where are they gonna go they are being
5678s	spammed through but the death Blossom
5681s	might be able to get them out of it it
5683s	is not you saw the suzu come out from SK
5685s	they're able to save the squad and they
5688s	are just continuing to contest trying to
5690s	make sure that they can't get the
5692s	checkpoint but Dart monkeys after a one
5694s	bite just around the first checkpoint
5696s	are able to secure it and even push
5699s	further finally taking control of the
5702s	map with three minutes remaining
5704s	Okay so
5706s	I think both teams have hit the actual
5708s	hit the uh actually what we call
5710s	mustache and now they're gonna put
5712s	they're gonna put out the consuded rush
5714s	to Surge forward and get even more
5715s	progress going on
5717s	yeah this Kitsune Rush is really
5720s	offensively used it does make some space
5723s	and this is just exactly what Dark
5724s	Monkey says they always push further
5726s	forward than the point uh Jesse with the
5729s	overclock Now neutralizing barcode this
5732s	is just once again matchup of the
5734s	century with these two dps's always on
5737s	the mirror matchup always trying to
5739s	outpace and outmatch the other but now
5741s	but after using that overclock barcode
5744s	is already 67 to the next one so it's
5748s	still something they have to watch out
5749s	for meanwhile both of these blue shows
5751s	they have the sound barriers online I
5754s	mean we're looking for the engagement
5755s	here there's the uh there's a studio
5757s	Rush coming out from eremore the sound
5759s	barrier is put out from both squads
5762s	sound barrier from both sides of meat
5765s	but rip Guardians they're coming out on
5766s	top of these engagements though they are
5769s	just forcing all dark monkeys players
5771s	into these little Corners where they
5772s	can't speak especially that Tracer when
5775s	you know there's so much power with the
5776s	recall and barcode tried to go for a
5778s	hero play but even with the overclock
5781s	ready there just wasn't anything to
5782s	write
5783s	I mean it's all about engage re-engage
5785s	now uh yeah and we do see that they did
5787s	actually secure the uh the pause moment
5790s	there with ts1 now uh pushing in to the
5793s	second part uh of the streets here uh
5796s	you're looking at the overclock at the
5798s	Primal Rage minute and a half year left
5800s	this is exactly what they want they can
5802s	just engage and take it right on their
5803s	own
5804s	there's the Rampage ready for cab though
5807s	this could be devastating and they don't
5809s	have the sound barrier it is huge it's
5812s	the bleed applied to almost all five
5814s	players now only the Primal Rage Eevee
5816s	alive and even though chisato has been
5819s	taken down it is going to be tough for
5822s	Evie to survive this one Rift Guardians
5824s	it seems like they're taking the lead
5826s	once again while Aspen just tries to
5829s	keep them at Bay with a few spam shots
5831s	but no one's scared of the little
5833s	speaker
5835s	I like it I mean this is a smart
5837s	disengage from Rift Guardians they're
5839s	just going to take bites on their own
5841s	terms now and and whole ground and not
5844s	allow the progress to come through this
5845s	uh pulse bomb though could be huge for
5847s	zembrick let's look for SK in the next
5850s	fight to put out the consumer Rush
5853s	Esky is the one that has the ultimate
5856s	realistic realistically coming up
5857s	chisato could be close to follow but oh
5860s	no almost having the sick oh from our
5864s	Mori makes it so they all survive the
5866s	pulse bomb but even so dark monkeys
5869s	they've made enough room so they can
5870s	have this robot running over towards
5873s	their own wall and they're going to
5875s	restart that push on their side with
5878s	guardians trailing behind but the time
5880s	is so low it's got to be an overtime
5883s	push and SK goes down that's insane from
5886s	chesky now they only have the Lucio to
5888s	rely on and they need to touch they need
5890s	to stay on top of this and the death
5893s	Blossom forces them off Chef see with
5895s	the overclock as well they still trying
5898s	to contest but barcode now falling the
5901s	overclock has become huge and Aspen just
5903s	cannot get close enough to touch riff
5906s	Guardians in a fiery Glory they're able
5909s	to get this last map of Esperanza and
5914s	win the series 3-1 oh my word and it is
5918s	on a nice Edge and this right here this
5920s	Rampage watch the follow-up on to uh I
5923s	believe it was on to Aspen there uh
5925s	taking the suzu off the table that was
5928s	the moment where everything turned uh
5931s	here in this last fight because they had
5933s	the meterage ahead of Rift Guardians and
5935s	it was just that one fight that one
5936s	ultimate the Rampage so huge completely
5941s	turns the economy around turns the
5943s	entire match around quite frankly and
5945s	Cat put up one hell of a performance uh
5948s	on this and I tell you what this was a
5950s	this was a a treat to watch it may have
5953s	been 3-1 but that's one of the darn
5955s	closest three ones that I have seen in
5957s	quite some time and Tyler I mean we're
5960s	gonna get a chance to talk to one of
5961s	these Rift Guardians we're gonna take it
5963s	to a quick little break but when we come
5965s	back we will have an interview don't go
5967s	away

6031s	thank you
6040s	hey guys my name is Cassie Brown AKA CB
6043s	and I am an Esports broadcaster my
6046s	pronouns are she her I'm a transgender
6048s	woman from Anchorage Alaska and I am now
6050s	currently residing out in Philly calling
6052s	all heroes is extremely important to me
6054s	because culturally I believe Esports
6056s	still has a problem with things like
6058s	sexism and homophobia and transphobia we
6061s	don't see a whole lot of people like us
6064s	in the OverWatch league and that really
6066s	sucks because it's not because we can't
6068s	do it and it's not because we shouldn't
6070s	do it but it's because when we go into
6071s	voice chat in games we're told you don't
6074s	belong here what are you doing calling
6076s	all heroes is our chance to kind of
6078s	change that narrative and to prove that
6080s	if we give the talent that is there a
6083s	place to practice and a place to
6084s	cultivate it will inevitably rise and
6088s	it's going to send the message to all of
6089s	the people watching that yes you do
6091s	belong here this is worth pursuing
6093s	you're not wasting your time no matter
6095s	what everyone else tells you no matter
6097s	what the people in voice chat want to
6099s	say you you still belong here what's up
6102s	everybody Chef Billy here and if you
6104s	know anything about me you look at my
6107s	Twitter it's all about raising up voices
6109s	and giving the support where it is
6111s	needed and now is the best time for
6114s	anybody else that wants to join in
6116s	please join in with us where did I get
6117s	started with this well it was actually a
6119s	console gaming League uh I was a Caster
6121s	there and I was kind of shy about who I
6123s	was and they finally just said you know
6125s	what Billy just be you be you be on
6128s	camera be you and now that's what we're
6130s	gonna do for our marginalized and and
6133s	diverse communities that we need here so
6135s	we need more Heroes are you gonna join
6137s	us hi everyone

6296s	welcome back for our post-match
6299s	interview with our winning team it's
6302s	going to be aramori we saw her do some
6305s	crazy suzus on that very last map of
6308s	Esperanza and she is here with us today
6310s	so aramori how are you feeling after
6313s	that match
6323s	monkeys game we're going to be definite
6325s	challenges that we've been preparing all
6327s	week for so
6329s	feeling good and did you have any
6333s	expectations or certain expectations
6335s	going into that match like how did you
6338s	prepare for this
6341s	um well we mostly just practice the maps
6343s	that we knew we were going to try to
6345s	force so
6347s	um like Oasis is our as our pick so we
6350s	mostly just played a lot of Oasis today
6352s	like there was one scrim where we just
6354s	had like we we played Oasis just four
6356s	times in a row over and over and over
6358s	again and uh felt like we were just
6361s	living the same day over and over again
6364s	um so yeah just just lots of just lots
6367s	of practice
6369s	um and then you know we took what DART
6372s	monkeys was playing in stride like uh
6374s	they played that monkey comp which was
6376s	something a lot of other teams aren't
6378s	really playing they're playing like the
6379s	queen right and so uh I was like it's
6382s	time it's Reaper time so yeah
6388s	all right so I mean I have been casting
6390s	you for for quite a while uh going way
6393s	back uh actually to trial of Champions
6395s	with ELO hell and uh I mean I've been
6398s	impressed with you since then what do
6400s	you think has been the biggest uh growth
6402s	for you uh here in the path to Pro
6404s	system
6407s	um honestly like I used to be very very
6410s	shy as a person
6413s	um I used to be very intimidated to
6415s	speak my mind and do my own thing but
6418s	with uh you know calling out Heroes and
6421s	path to Pro even uh I learned how to
6424s	lead I I am igl for my team currently so
6427s	uh I'm just constantly talking
6429s	constantly speaking and I have like
6432s	confidence in myself when I do it I'm
6433s	like we're doing this and I know it's
6435s	the like correct thing to do or I know
6436s	it's a really good thing to do
6438s	um and I think
6439s	not only is that like helped me outside
6442s	of the game but it's it helps me a lot
6444s	like in teams um my teammates trust me
6446s	definitely
6448s	so I mean that leads into my next
6450s	question then uh what advice would you
6453s	have to people that might be a little
6454s	bit leery of doing calling all the
6456s	heroes maybe they're not you know not
6458s	confident in themselves uh what would
6460s	you say to them uh the mic is yours what
6462s	would you say to us you know what it's
6464s	welcoming it's a great initiative and
6466s	it's a great uh great competition
6469s	I would definitely say it's scary at
6472s	first but you just have to like jump
6474s	into the deep end and and just trust
6477s	that you know the community is good and
6479s	it is like there of course there's going
6482s	to be maybe some bad apples but
6484s	everybody else is so warm and so
6486s	welcoming and it's unbelievable the
6489s	amount of support that we've seen um
6491s	from everyone for this initiative
6494s	yeah that is great to hear and is there
6497s	any shout outs that you would like to
6499s	make at the end of this match before you
6501s	go
6502s	just all of my team for being incredible
6505s	for having mentals of Steel
6507s	um H key for sensing in the air whenever
6511s	there's a flank gonna be happening
6513s	um she can just smell it I don't know
6514s	and
6517s	just being amazing people willing to
6520s	grind yeah
6523s	thank you so much for talking to us
6525s	today and big congratulations in the
6528s	semi-finals and your Victory against Art

6545s	bracket and see what happened on the
6547s	other side uh as we saw nyxl Academy
6552s	absolutely obliterate uh Timeless ether
6556s	and I thought Timeless ether was on one
6558s	yesterday well Nick's nixel Academy just
6561s	had their way uh with Timeless either
6563s	taking them down three nil so that is
6566s	your grand final it's going to be
6567s	brought to you by the wonderful tiny
6570s	shiny and the fabulous CB coming up here
6573s	in just a little bit but for myself and
6575s	and tala epitaphies here that's our time
6578s	done here on the miner I you have really
6581s	impressed me I I have had the one most
6583s	wonderful time what you guys don't see
6585s	uh here on camera is that Mia and tala
6588s	have been just joking and laughing and
6590s	talking in French and other stuff like
6591s	that it's been a wonderful time thank
6593s	you so much for joining me here
6595s	yeah this was definitely a blast I am so
6599s	impressed by initiatives like these and
6601s	so happy that they are spreading to so
6603s	many games and that they're receiving so
6605s	much support from the community as well
6607s	so I'm excited to see what happens in

6756s	my name is Tiny shiny and I'm a
6759s	play-by-play Caster who identifies the
6760s	she her pronouns one of the best moments
6763s	I've had with the OverWatch Community
6764s	had to have been when I attended the
6766s	OverWatch League 2022 summer Showdown
6768s	finals in Toronto it was mind-blowing to
6770s	see all of these people of different
6771s	ages backgrounds and identities all come
6774s	together under one love for OverWatch
6775s	hearing all the cheers of the crowd
6777s	mixed with the top tier commentary and
6779s	of course watching some of the best
6780s	players in the world play the game we
6782s	all enjoy was absolutely surreal and a
6784s	moment I'll never forget calling all
6786s	heroes is important because of the safe
6787s	environment and visibility provides the
6789s	marginalized groups competing within the
6791s	OverWatch community
6792s	these gender groups are heavily
6794s	underrepresented when it comes to the
6795s	Esports world and the initiative taken
6797s	by calling all heroes has created a safe
6799s	space for competition this event gives
6801s	players a boost of equity to further
6803s	establish themselves in the OverWatch
6804s	Esports scene and continue to develop
6806s	their talents in a team environment call
6808s	no Heroes not only provides
6809s	opportunities to players and staff but
6811s	spreads the message that anyone can be a
6813s	hero

6926s	hi my name is amaliath and my pronouns
6929s	are she her I'm a full-time OverWatch
6931s	content creator and AGM to support man
6933s	that plays mostly Anna and kiriko oh and
6936s	uh I also struggle to stay on the map
6945s	I just think ramacha's not good I think
6948s	dude I did it again
6954s	I got into OverWatch because one of my
6956s	college professors recommended it to me
6957s	and I promised him I would play after I
6959s	graduate weirdly enough I think he was
6961s	also a GM on I mean anyway when I
6964s	finally did play it I got hooked
6965s	instantly it just didn't really feel
6967s	like any other game compared to it and
6970s	here I am years later still playing some
6972s	of the most memorable moments in the
6973s	community were during the Creator
6975s	experimental patches I just think that
6977s	was like a really cool way to get the
6979s	community involved and I think pretty
6982s	much everybody had fun playing it and I
6985s	think it's awesome how many Community
6986s	run tourneys there are every single one
6988s	is fun to participate in fun to watch
6990s	and it's just really cool that so many
6993s	people take initiative to bring the
6995s	community together calling all heroes is
6997s	important because so many marginalized
6999s	gender people are afraid or simply can't
7002s	get their foot in the door in Esports
7004s	they're likely to receive harassment and
7006s	be discriminated against so creating a
7008s	space that allows them to freely and
7010s	openly be who they are without fear of
7012s	discrimination is important it also
7014s	provides a way to highlight Esports
7016s	talent that may have been overlooked
7018s	otherwise following all heroes is
7020s	necessary and an amazing organization
7026s	we have made it to the Grand finals of
7030s	the first calling all heroes minor
7032s	recall event CB I am stoked to be here
7036s	on the stage today we have teams that
7039s	have fought through the switch stage
7040s	through the playoff back bracket to make
7044s	it to this point nyxl and Academy and
7046s	Rift Guardians are here to battle it out
7048s	on the big stage to find out who will
7051s	take home the championship
7053s	I cannot wait both of these teams have
7055s	shown us some phenomenal things
7057s	throughout this bracket nyxl Academy
7059s	beating Timeless ethereal 3-0 off stream
7063s	like you know we you know that match
7065s	with dart monkeys and Rift Guardians was
7067s	kind of a banger just now but in the
7068s	background we had an actual like rematch
7072s	of the finals from the previous major
7074s	tournament in nyxl Academy starting off
7077s	their Redemption Arc by three owing the
7079s	reigning Champions that's a statement if
7082s	you're Rift Guardians you know yeah you
7083s	beat Dart monkeys you're coming into
7084s	this feeling really good but you also
7086s	have to be a little teeny bit worried
7088s	there
7089s	because not only did they beat Dark
7091s	monkeys though CB they actually managed
7093s	to take down uh nyxl Academy in the
7096s	Swiss stage I believe it was a 2-1
7098s	Victory going over to them so this is a
7101s	team that they were able to beat in a
7104s	previous matchup they're coming back
7105s	today nyxl Academy they've gone back to
7107s	the drawing boards they've regrouped and
7109s	they're meeting again here in that Grand
7111s	Final spot I mean we look at these
7113s	rosters you know them you love them
7115s	we've seen them on contenders we've seen
7116s	them in the brackets of calling all
7118s	heroes but there is one new face that we
7120s	want to talk about a little bit yeah and
7122s	that's gonna be Orion down there in that
7124s	lower right hand uh not the corner but
7126s	just right next to it right next to
7128s	Cairo there but Orion has been uh you
7131s	know the the tool they needed what they
7134s	needed to kind of shape their back line
7135s	up a little bit more and have a little
7137s	bit more dominance in the flex support
7139s	position and it's also that plus the
7141s	fact that we're now in a very JQ favored
7143s	meta and that is big for Kindred Kindred
7147s	pounds on junker Queen she's another one
7149s	of these players who has been grinding
7151s	the junker Queen even when she was not
7153s	meta so when she finally gets all these
7155s	Buffs again blizzard I don't know why
7157s	you buff check your feet as hard as you
7158s	did but here we are it's working out
7160s	when those Buffs came through Kindred
7162s	was like oh my time has come I'm gonna
7165s	answer this bad signal looked up to the
7167s	sky and she was like this is my time and
7169s	she has shown it in this tournament uh
7171s	you know you again this team 3-0 the
7173s	reigning Champions Timeless ethereal who
7175s	also looked really strong yesterday you
7177s	know we got to see plenty of them on the
7178s	stream but now it's time to see nyxl
7180s	Academy complete the Redemption Arc but
7184s	they're gonna have to do it against this
7185s	Rift Guardians team who we just saw
7187s	compete in the semi-finals match and
7190s	while it was a 3-1 victory in their
7192s	Direction I don't feel like that score
7194s	line fully represents that matchup with
7197s	the dart monkeys that was down to the
7198s	wire on so many different occasions
7200s	every point was dragged out to overtime
7203s	it came down to really one fight to
7205s	decide the overall outcome of each map
7207s	and that's not something that nyxl
7210s	they're gonna play very well towards the
7211s	thrift Guardians they're coming out they
7213s	can fight in a battle that they're
7215s	confident in themselves I mean we were
7217s	talking about this a little bit during
7218s	the break too or especially here had she
7221s	probably had like the best game we have
7223s	ever seen from her in her life the plays
7225s	on the Hanzo hitting those shots finding
7228s	so many opening eliminations for Rift
7230s	Guardians got them so far in this
7232s	matchup I mean between that working with
7235s	cat and Aura Mori being so solid all
7237s	around this is a rift Guardian Squad to
7239s	be scared of they're in their top form
7241s	and they are coming to play against NYX
7243s	all right me yeah a lot of it was chesty
7246s	and barcode going blow for blow and it
7248s	was chesty kind of getting the better of
7249s	it in some of those situations you know
7251s	in rare form if chesty has continued to
7254s	allow to pound in the way that she has
7255s	thus far it is going to be a little bit
7258s	scary but I also again want to tie
7260s	things back to that tank meta where it's
7262s	more JQ favored I like the fact that
7264s	Rift Guardians were able to bust out the
7267s	junker Queen at times and even if that
7269s	wasn't their go-to consistently it was
7272s	still something that they showed could
7273s	uh they showed that they were competent
7275s	on they showed that they were able to
7276s	play that comp up to or able to Dethrone
7280s	uh the opponents in Dart monkeys who
7282s	tended to favor more dive as the time
7285s	was ethereal both those teams you know
7286s	dark monkeys and Timeless ethereal they
7288s	wanted to play Winston in some
7289s	situations they wanted to play doomfist
7291s	I don't know why you would bust that out
7292s	this is a call out post for Sawhill but
7294s	uh you know whatever like that just
7297s	doesn't really work in the meta right
7298s	now like you can't get away with that
7300s	and both of these teams here today know
7302s	it they understand it they've read The
7304s	Meta and they know that it is within
7306s	their best strengths to play junker
7308s	Queen when necessary and that's kind of
7310s	why I like this Oasis as the first pick
7312s	here because you think both Gardens and
7313s	University are going to be very strong
7315s	picks for a junker Queen and people are
7317s	able to get away with playing her to
7318s	great effect on City Center as well so
7321s	you know both teams know this is where
7324s	their bread is buttered this is what we
7325s	have to be the best at right now if we
7326s	want to be the best in this tournament
7328s	it's time to put up or shut up there's
7331s	no more Second Chances we're in the
7333s	grand finals that I can't wait to see
7335s	what ends up happening here this is the
7337s	true text for both of these teams right
7339s	now we've seen them play against varying
7341s	Styles but we're coming out here we're
7343s	expecting the mere match up with these
7345s	teams they're going to be training blow
7346s	for blow it's going to be about who
7348s	wants it more who has been on the grind
7350s	practicing this so much just to get to
7353s	this point getting to the Grand finals
7355s	that is a huge achievement on its own
7356s	not to mention all that is at stake with
7359s	the prize pool on itself coming away
7361s	with that Championship Victory say that
7363s	you can do it nyxl Academy in the major
7366s	event came up with a second place this
7368s	is their chance to get that first place
7370s	for Redemption while Rift Guardians
7372s	they're here to make a name for
7373s	themselves come out of these Gates
7375s	Strong send a statement to all of the
7377s	people that have ever doubted them in
7379s	this tournament and it's also not even
7381s	just about the cash prize I mean it kind
7383s	of definitely is at least a little bit
7384s	about the cash prize but it's also about
7386s	the circuit points as calling all heroes
7387s	goes on nyxl Academy came into this 3
7391s	900 to Timeless ethereal is 4500 a big
7393s	win here is gonna put them in first
7395s	place overall going into the next
7397s	tournament here so that's what you're
7398s	going to be looking at as both of these
7400s	teams start to go blow for blow on the
7401s	mirror Mantra comps up on The High
7403s	Ground on University and when we talked
7405s	about the junker Queen but the romantra
7407s	has been a strong deliverable cat and
7408s	Kindred but it will be cat coming up
7410s	with the first Globe nyxl Academy are
7412s	not too far off line Orion played a huge
7415s	part into that fight just look at the
7417s	damage output that Baptiste was able to
7419s	have
7419s	yeah and Kindred we talked you know I
7422s	talked a lot about how great she is at
7423s	the younger Queen but she's also really
7424s	strong on the ramatra so even if you're
7427s	forcing her into this mirror situation
7428s	she can still pound on the ramacha and
7431s	we do see it there there's also a huge
7432s	boot from Wicca onto aramori that ends
7434s	up opening that fight up and ceasing all
7437s	of the healing operations that were done
7438s	there but that's an early pick-off from
7440s	uh chassis that we kept seeing in the
7442s	previous series and if she keeps that up
7444s	and YSL Academy are going to be in
7445s	trouble oh yeah Dusty has gone
7447s	absolutely Bonkers in this previous
7449s	round and shows no signs of stopping
7451s	like look at the difference in the
7452s	dragon strike charge right now Jesse is
7454s	putting in the work but it can't just be
7456s	all up to the Hanzo to create the space
7458s	do the damage Orion's coming in nearing
7460s	ant Matrix he's on the point of
7462s	University here Kindred is getting
7464s	beaten down into a pulp on the objective
7466s	Rift Guardians came back in with
7468s	Adventures here and you a lot of that to
7470s	chesty's initial elimination
7471s	I mean but the whole team is doing a ton
7473s	of work I mean you still have that
7475s	blizzard coming up soon you're gonna
7476s	have both the annihilation and the uh
7478s	and the sound barrier you're on par with
7481s	the pace that is being set by all the
7482s	players in nyxl Academy despite losing
7485s	that first fight so that kind of goes
7487s	back to that first fight and we look at
7488s	it and it was actually a little bit
7490s	closer than it ended up being it was
7491s	just a couple of those early pickups
7493s	here but with that Dragon strike
7494s	Advantage they can force positioning and
7496s	slow the uh slow the rotation in from
7498s	nyxl Academy here oh but not slow enough
7501s	because shusato ended up going down so
7503s	close in that blizzard the end of ISL
7505s	Academy at their own dragon strike
7506s	Waltzing right on to the objective all
7508s	reptile Guardians can do is really just
7510s	hang on get themselves a little bit more
7511s	percentage on that objective but that
7513s	flip is gonna be inevitable it's a
7515s	dragon strike for a dragon strike but
7517s	nyxl Academy coming out ahead is going
7519s	to be massive also that late kill onto
7520s	aramore means that only just now can
7522s	Rift Guardians start to make their
7524s	approach back to the point here and
7525s	they're going to be walking right into a
7527s	blizzard and I feel like on the
7528s	defensive end the blizzard is just a
7530s	little bit more utilities you're gonna
7532s	be able to get a little bit more out of
7533s	it and you're gonna know you're gonna
7534s	see both teams actually wanting to draw
7536s	first blood with it both legislated
7538s	practically on top of each other to the
7540s	sound barrier a little bit too late for
7542s	cat just ended up getting chewed through
7543s	so Kindred walks right on through the
7545s	team alley gets to Shadow with that
7547s	ultimate but that's plenty of value to
7549s	come through nyxl have to conserve the
7550s	resources yeah and at the end of this
7552s	next fight nyxl Academy will almost
7554s	assuredly be in one fight territory and
7556s	they'll have time to try and build up
7557s	the old deficit that not getting a lot
7559s	of value out of that Annihilation uh is
7562s	going to put them at right now Rift
7563s	Guardians having that Advantage should
7565s	be able to swing this fight nyxl Academy
7567s	only gonna have the positioning that
7568s	they're going to be able to get from
7570s	oh I was gonna say from the ant Matrix
7572s	but from an early pickup on the chesty
7573s	that's gonna help as well oh it really
7575s	is because now cat's job got so much
7577s	harder does manage to get with looking
7579s	for Kindred the immortality field not
7581s	playing too cleansed to them in the end
7583s	here ends up going down to nyxl Academy
7585s	in that 99 overtime is going to be
7589s	expended these early pickoffs have just
7591s	been the telltales at these fights we've
7593s	seen very few full 5V fives heading into
7596s	this and it has shown nyxl Academy came
7599s	with that initiality and we're gonna
7600s	close it out here on a new adversity I
7602s	mean and we highlighted chesty a lot in
7604s	the way that she has been on in rare
7606s	form especially in the previous matchup
7608s	here but that's kind of like a feaster
7610s	famine sort of situation where if you're
7611s	banking your entire stock on chesty
7614s	getting an early pickoff well what
7615s	happens if she's the one that gets
7617s	picked off first because she was playing
7618s	an aggressive angle trying to find one
7620s	of those picks and Bun hits an icicle to
7622s	the Dome or wisps gets the uh the better
7624s	of the Hanzo vihanzo exchange then what
7626s	happens what's our backup plan and in
7628s	that situation there really wasn't one
7630s	because Rift Guardians they just you
7632s	know didn't have much of a plan that all
7634s	just kind of got thrown into disarray
7635s	and then aramori you know followed
7637s	chassis to the Grave just a little bit
7639s	too quickly so they weren't able to
7641s	stabilize they weren't able to keep a
7643s	realistic chance at capping the point
7645s	there and flipping it once chesty went
7647s	down here so I yeah that's kind of like
7649s	you live or die by what chesty does here
7651s	you kind of have to have a plan B in
7653s	case she gets picked off early
7655s	I mean the nice thing here is that Jesse
7657s	isn't gonna be able to do too much whis
7659s	was able to get to that High Ground
7660s	first so where story is there to
7662s	significant disadvantage in terms of
7664s	positioning but apparently it doesn't
7665s	matter for Waco who got caught out by
7667s	cat that is going to be the signal to
7669s	rush on up clean up the rest of these
7671s	players Rift Guardians that is amazing I
7673s	believe that was actually a knife stick
7674s	onto the Lucio player to guarantee that
7676s	first elimination and that is so key
7678s	considering the positioning disadvantage
7680s	sometimes you go fishing and you catch
7682s	yourself a Marlin that time cat caught
7684s	themselves a Wicca in the back line and
7686s	look at how far down she's gonna be in
7689s	uh sound barrier charge after dying so
7691s	soon not having essentially any work
7693s	done that's all passive old charge she's
7695s	gonna have to try and make up the
7696s	deficit a little bit here but is also
7698s	kind of lacking after having fallen
7700s	early so nyxl Academy they have to try
7702s	and play this slow and on City Center
7704s	that means that this uh capture
7706s	percentage for Rift Guardians is gonna
7707s	tick way way up okay you'll see teams
7710s	just get to 99 right off the bat because
7713s	it is so difficult to put this point
7715s	get the problem child out of the
7718s	equation the Wisp is soon to fall right
7720s	after punished for their mistakes josado
7722s	opening that one right back up for Rich
7724s	Guardians who are able to collapse on
7725s	the remaining players and lion cell
7727s	Academy they needed to play it slow but
7728s	they jumped the gun just a little bit
7730s	too soon there so we could close the gap
7733s	but bun really didn't there and neither
7735s	did Orion so now Rift Guardians are
7737s	gonna be at the old Advantage here might
7739s	have a you know sound barriers on both
7740s	sides coming out around the same time
7742s	potentially Rampages if cat holds on to
7744s	that one for a little bit but overall
7747s	the consume Rush from aramori might end
7749s	up just being the Difference Maker and
7751s	barring that chesty is gonna have that
7752s	Bob really soon and these are Oaks that
7754s	can release Force nyxl Academy to slow
7756s	the tempo down and to Echo what I
7758s	literally just said on the city sensor
7760s	it's going to hurt this all percentage I
7763s	mean Rift guardings after this fight
7765s	should be in one fight territory even if
7766s	they blow it I mean here they go we're
7768s	getting a little bit of deja vu your
7770s	whiz finds the head of
7772s	right off the bat they want to make it
7774s	happen but cat flying in with the
7776s	Rampage striking shorts no suzu
7778s	available Orion ended up going down
7780s	didn't have it Rick's Guardians they're
7782s	just gonna clean up the house here nysl
7784s	Academy they haven't had a legitimate
7785s	chance to push any bike here they're
7787s	finding themselves in one last one but
7789s	it's not gonna be a full five players
7790s	yeah not at all WIC is going to be able
7793s	to come back and have the sound barrier
7794s	board 95 it's all gonna be a staggered
7796s	fight here and Kindred following means
7798s	there's no sustain justado could just
7799s	pop this Dragon bait slice whips right
7802s	up Orion's got nowhere to go dead to the
7804s	Bob Wicca sound barrier expires her life
7806s	soon to follow but never got the chance
7809s	to use this out or sorry use a dragon
7811s	blade and that's gonna be a real clean
7814s	100-0 for Rich Guardians
7816s	oh wow that was ripped Guardians in the
7819s	driver's seat CB there was no point
7820s	there that I doubted who was in control
7822s	nyxl Academy they're on the back foot
7825s	and the entire time in terms of the
7827s	ultimate economy in terms of the tempo
7828s	they just couldn't get a foot in the
7830s	door because Rift Guardians were
7832s	squishing their toes against the frame
7833s	that doesn't feel too good because now
7835s	here we are that map number three after
7837s	a complete shutout this needs to be a
7839s	mental reset as well as a bit of a an
7841s	idea in their heads what do nyxl Academy
7844s	hope to accomplish heading into this
7845s	next point and that also kind of goes
7847s	back to my previous point where I was
7849s	talking about feast or famine as it
7850s	regards to shasti but you know despite
7852s	chesty being the first to fall in a lot
7854s	of those fights you're still seeing Rift
7856s	Guardians yeah they actually do have a
7857s	plan B and chisado is that plan B 13 of
7860s	Limbs that's in zero deaths that's quite
7863s	the quite the stat right there for
7865s	justado excellent play for Rift
7867s	Guardians so yeah you do kind of have to
7869s	have a little bit more in the bag than
7871s	just taking out chesty you also have to
7872s	take down what comes next
7875s	there needs to be more than just the
7877s	first step you got to have multiple
7878s	plans that need to adapt through the way
7880s	I mean it's great to have a door in but
7882s	OverWatch is a game of being able to
7884s	transition from one play to the next and
7885s	nyxl Academy they want to be the ones to
7887s	take the initiative wrist guard they
7888s	weren't prepared they're running so far
7890s	backwards but wisp gets caught out this
7892s	far aggression tap wasn't with the team
7893s	as you guys he's like oh wait I can
7895s	shoot again pops a couple heads along
7897s	the way Rich Guardians this was a huge
7900s	peel back from them you can see the
7901s	comms coming into play with jono getting
7904s	their team out of danger putting them
7905s	back into the flight and they'll get
7907s	that first capture as a result yeah and
7909s	it ends up being kind of an over
7910s	commitment on nyxl Academy aside where
7912s	they've kind of feel like they have you
7914s	know all the ground they can be the
7915s	aggressors they can try and take that
7916s	fight into that small little Corridor
7918s	but the early pick-offs that cat was
7920s	able to find make a huge difference in
7922s	terms of both the Jungle Queen Old
7923s	charge as we stand currently going into
7925s	the next fight and nyxl Academy's
7927s	ability to close that early fight down
7929s	there's another early pickup on the
7930s	chassis but as we've established he
7932s	dealt with a left hook you've got to be
7934s	ready for the right well you you know
7935s	what maybe third time's the charm here
7937s	Kindred wants to get something done with
7938s	the ash player being out of the fight
7940s	but that doesn't mean chisado isn't
7942s	going to be available to demolish on the
7944s	Genji I've been able to just stay alive
7946s	this whole fight has not died and down
7948s	goes kids are as a matter of fact wico
7950s	ended up winning the race to the sound
7951s	barrier but not in time to save their
7953s	tank player nyxl are fighting to
7955s	compensate for that loss and if you're
7957s	able to get Jesse again they're gonna
7958s	have a chance because of fun it just
7961s	went out and decided to play Sushi steps
7963s	license through the opposition and they
7965s	dealt with the left hook they dealt with
7966s	the right and then clap back with a
7968s	Haymaker and now bun is going to lap
7970s	jasado in terms of that uh dragon blade
7972s	charge I mean yeah Rift Guardians are
7974s	gonna have a sound barrier and a Souza
7975s	for that but the fact that they're able
7977s	to win out in that old engagement means
7979s	they're at least going to be able to
7980s	bleed out some resources from Rich
7981s	Guardians and give themselves a fighting
7983s	chance to build back up to some of their
7985s	ultimates they're also going to have a
7986s	consuming Rush of their own and a bob to
7988s	stall this out so nyxl Academy they can
7990s	even things up and potentially surpass
7991s	Rift Guardians here as long as everyone
7993s	keeps their head down and Chassis does
7995s	not decapitate someone
7997s	to be decapitated I've been more
8000s	concerned
8002s	but the file name is huge look at
8005s	that answering effect that Rampage
8007s	couldn't have not asked for more value
8008s	from cats you're gonna get a trade out
8010s	of support for a support but wisp is
8012s	still alive and managed to pick off two
8014s	just thought it was needs to take care
8016s	of them will be able to do so now you
8018s	just need to gather the remaining scraps
8020s	of nyxl Academy and take it down to bed
8023s	jasada wants to be able to make a
8024s	difference with the Rampage only down
8026s	onto the Genji shuts down the dragon's
8029s	light to be the one to turn it around
8030s	nyxl have to surpassed in terms of the
8032s	percentage that they're looking to hold
8033s	on to it here cat is still in the fight
8036s	battling this one through Kendra doesn't
8037s	really have the cooldowns to kind of
8039s	take this one face to face ends up
8041s	backing off but whether this game is
8043s	neutral or not CB then we'll Excel
8045s	they're still getting ground
8047s	as well yeah Rift Guardians they have to
8050s	get out they can't keep the Stagger
8051s	fight going any longer you lose your
8052s	Lucio that's your ability to control the
8054s	tempo gone so they have to try and back
8056s	up now in yxl Academy are crossing that
8058s	80 threshold getting into one fight
8060s	territory and Rift Guardians expended so
8063s	many resources to try and win that last
8064s	fight and came up with nothing to dragon
8066s	blade from chisado got completely shut
8068s	down by Orion they don't have anything
8070s	they have to try and buy their time and
8072s	build up to something and hope that it's
8074s	enough to overcome Wicca sound barrier I
8076s	have to think wika just has this to walk
8078s	on in cat to be afraid for their lives
8080s	don't have the health bar because she
8082s	ends up going down Bud claims the lies
8084s	of another looking for a third deflect
8086s	only delay the inevitable as nyxl
8089s	Academy they came back swinging from
8092s	their Lawson City Center to go ahead
8094s	recover here on Gordon's map number one
8096s	will be going over to them the pendulum
8099s	swings back and forth between these two
8101s	teams this might be uh this might be a
8104s	series that has the potential to go the
8106s	difference because for every time that
8108s	nyxl Academy looks like they're getting
8109s	punked out they are the ones doing the
8111s	punking you saw you know we go back to
8113s	city center but she never got a chance
8115s	to build to a dragon blade it was over
8117s	too quickly on Gardens she says I don't
8119s	even need the Dragon Blade I'm just
8121s	gonna get the Swift strike resets slice
8123s	dice your whole team like you said
8124s	playing sushi chef the whole time I love
8127s	that call out there that was a great one
8128s	but like you know it's a great
8130s	turnaround and in a way kind of a
8132s	microcosm for their whole trajectory as
8134s	a team The Comeback story is real the
8136s	Redemption Arc that Contender season we
8138s	forget about that we Start Anew right
8141s	here right now but like you said ripped
8143s	Guardians it's gonna be back and forth I
8145s	I want to see more of this pendulum
8147s	swinging as we go into the next map that
8149s	is going to be their pick I do kind of
8151s	want to see more of this back and forth
8152s	button chasado look how close they are
8155s	overall you know you know you see you
8157s	know chisado has a little bit more
8159s	damage and a little bit better of a KD
8160s	but that damage is pretty close there
8163s	and a lot of that was made up in the
8165s	back half by bun there and again you
8168s	know both these players were playing May
8169s	on University so those stats would
8171s	probably be even a little bit more
8172s	buffed up if we are if we were playing
8174s	Genji the whole time but I mean this is
8177s	pretty even like to me yeah chisado is
8180s	getting the better of it but buns still
8181s	doing enough to make up the difference
8183s	and win for her team so I I like to see
8186s	this I like to see where we're going
8188s	with this also because this this should
8190s	be good
8191s	and you know what the craziest part
8192s	about that is bun has doubled the deaths
8195s	that chisado has and was still able to
8197s	get just as much done in several
8199s	departments which is pretty crazy
8200s	because you can see how much fun
8202s	improved literally took the game into
8204s	her own and said you know what this is
8206s	my turf now and nobody from Rich
8209s	Guardians was allowed to touch it that
8211s	was like that saying that the flame that
8212s	burns twice as bright burns out twice as
8214s	fast but I mean for how bright she was
8217s	burning while she was alive getting that
8218s	much work done I think that's a
8220s	trade-off you take if you're able to get
8221s	the dub there but might be something to
8223s	look out for in the in the future
8225s	is it like we looked at that matchup but
8227s	I also want to talk about the matchup
8228s	between the two hitscan players here was
8231s	we were we talked about her so much we
8232s	talked about how much that she just
8235s	really just ran over their opposition in
8238s	the semi-finals and uh the amount of
8240s	times that these fights started with
8241s	wisps it's clicking her head was pretty
8244s	ridiculous I mean that wasn't really the
8246s	same store power that we've been seeing
8248s	I mean was this wisp but just really
8249s	starting to show up get the better of
8251s	the ash counterpart or is this guess
8254s	he's starting to Fumble a little bit
8255s	more it might honestly just be wisps
8258s	showing up because I do know for a fact
8259s	that wisp is a phenomenal hit scan
8261s	player and I mean we did see a lot of
8263s	chesty popping off in the previous
8264s	Series against barcode who was another
8266s	phenomenal hit scan player but it might
8268s	just be you know the pecking order that
8270s	we thought we would see as you know with
8272s	all these hit scan players that the
8273s	upper echelon might just be kind of you
8275s	know in flux right now and it might be
8277s	that wisps might just be closer to the
8280s	top than we might have previously
8281s	assumed I would definitely keep an eye
8283s	on this player and see uh how it
8285s	continues to progress going forward
8286s	because there's still time for CeCe to
8288s	stake her claim and still be you know
8290s	Queen of the mountain here but
8293s	could really go either way gotta keep
8295s	your head down because wisps definitely
8296s	had her number for the majority of
8299s	especially those previous two maps there
8300s	yeah that was a lot of wisp just coming
8303s	up big and I I to be fair that is kind
8306s	of all of the value we saw with spaghett
8309s	but if you're going to start a fight
8310s	just take it immediately to a 45 that's
8312s	an advantage you're willing to push
8314s	nyxl for the most part did a decent job
8317s	about conserving that energy and pushing
8320s	it Forward sometimes it did take them a
8321s	little bit longer they allowed re-group
8323s	to come through which really snowballed
8324s	against them in City Center I don't want
8326s	to see that happen again especially
8328s	moving on to a hybrid map where
8329s	differences like that can mean the end
8331s	of an entire map Hollywood has been the
8335s	selection of the rift Guardians which we
8337s	did get to see a little bit of in the
8339s	nyxl semi-final of when they played on
8342s	this map they pulled out that junker
8343s	Queen and Kindred just looked amazing on
8346s	it okay I don't know what this pick is
8349s	for Hollywood I don't know why we're go
8351s	like I'm I'm looking like Charlie Day
8352s	with the cork board right now because
8354s	okay so in the previous Series right
8357s	with Timeless ethereal against nyxl and
8360s	even yesterday uh in their matchup they
8363s	would pick Hollywood because they wanted
8364s	to try and favor the dive compositions
8366s	right because Hollywood is great for
8367s	those sorts of things neither of these
8369s	teams have shown a particular preference
8372s	for a dive composition and indeed have
8374s	both tended to prefer to play either
8377s	ramatra or junker Queen when pressed to
8380s	do so so I'm curious as to what the
8383s	reasoning is here for Rift Guardians is
8385s	this a trap are they trying to bait nyxl
8387s	Academy into playing dive because that's
8389s	what it kind of looks like a little bit
8391s	because they're showing a defensive
8393s	junker Queen composition nyxl Academy I
8395s	mean again never trust attack response
8397s	but think about here with a poke comp
8399s	like I want to see what ends up
8401s	happening with this kind of situation
8402s	here like this is all this is all just
8404s	new like I don't know like a sick I
8408s	can't even
8409s	relax there we go all right yeah all
8412s	right so Jungle Queen mirror this makes
8413s	a little bit more sense but also if this
8415s	is what we're going to play why
8417s	Hollywood Rift Guardians I have a lot of
8420s	questions I would like to see some
8421s	answers and I'm hoping that uh that
8424s	chesty on the ash is going to provide a
8426s	little bit of insight into why that
8428s	might be it might just be a simple case
8429s	of put your head scan on The High Ground
8431s	and let her pound
8435s	to my mind here to
8438s	[Music]
8439s	here two scan players you want to give
8440s	their room to work well there you go
8441s	down goes Orion head as Ben popton and
8445s	nyxl Academy they're not gonna get
8446s	anything done without their Kirito we
8448s	have found the answer to the rift
8450s	guardian's question of why Hollywood was
8452s	picked yeah if you just put chesty up on
8455s	that Cafe High Ground where she's
8456s	currently positioned uh yeah nyxl
8458s	Academy they don't really have a way to
8460s	access her so she really just gets a
8462s	shooting gallery the whole time unless
8463s	someone tries to go in and that's
8465s	probably going to have to be uh fun and
8467s	in this case I think Wicca actually went
8468s	in there to try and help as well but
8470s	riff Guardians are able to weather the
8471s	storm so far and just take shelter in
8473s	the cafe yeah they're just vibing out
8475s	here a cat's chilling it's like oh you
8476s	want to say hi all right I have a little
8478s	bit of a gift for you here comes Gracie
8480s	get back over here but down goes app is
8482s	having too much fun apparently Orion
8484s	wasn't having it nyxl Academy back into
8487s	the fight they dealt with Sketch D here
8489s	not really too many issues for them to
8491s	come back in Rift Guardians are gonna
8493s	have to take this back to the second
8494s	point where these high grounds yeah
8496s	they're better but where are you really
8498s	gonna split your team up that was a
8500s	great play by nyxl academy by the way to
8501s	capture that point Kindred using the
8503s	commanding shout wika using the speed
8504s	boost to get everybody positioned on the
8506s	underside of the cafe and take a small
8508s	Skirmish there that either Force the
8510s	rest of myth Guardians to come off of
8512s	The High Ground in order to contest or
8513s	back up and give space and not just let
8515s	nyxl Academy take the picks and take the
8517s	kills for free now we're gonna have a
8520s	much more difficult jockeying for high
8522s	ground for nyxl Academy you can see Rift
8523s	Guardians already playing up here and
8525s	waiting for their chance to pounce the
8528s	only real way that Kindred has to get up
8530s	there is to take that same elevator and
8532s	I mean if Rift Guardians just decide
8534s	that elevator's out of order I mean
8535s	there's no stairs to take this time no
8537s	because they're jumping straight down
8539s	for the higher ground who is skydiving
8540s	rather they couldn't soon a rush though
8542s	which was gonna help him but Wicca was
8544s	on point with the sound barrier getting
8546s	that ultimate trade out is going to be
8547s	big especially with wisp falling in the
8549s	end here because jasada will have a much
8551s	easier time using this Dragon Blade
8553s	assuming they will be back for the next
8555s	fight and bun doesn't uh go all sushi
8557s	chef again here we'll end up regrouping
8559s	down to that low ground to help their
8560s	team clean up rip Guardians they're so
8562s	split right now they have the soundberry
8564s	out from their own not gonna be able to
8566s	do much if one is able to live with that
8568s	Dynamite they'll be burning to a fiery
8570s	death and nyxl Academy they're gonna be
8572s	hitting slight robot here
8573s	yeah and I'm not sure I agree with uh
8576s	investing that Rampage there because
8577s	yeah you did have the majority of Rift
8579s	Guardians down on the low ground that
8580s	could be caught out by that but Janna
8582s	was able to respond with the sound
8583s	barrier it only realistically caught
8585s	cats so they weren't able to focus the
8587s	enemy uh Junger Queen down and now you
8589s	have this Dragon Blade coming in and
8591s	nothing to counter it nothing to counter
8593s	it but you know what um
8595s	you'll take that the amount of pressure
8597s	onto chisado if that's not a dragon
8598s	blade I don't know what is it's like
8600s	there's not a worse feeling than that
8602s	twerky being placing her back five
8603s	players with a deadly stare looking at
8605s	you it's not it's not a good thing but
8606s	in just saddle didn't get anywhere Juan
8609s	has one of their own and here they go in
8610s	right now he's coming out with Advantage
8612s	wants to get more than their Genji
8614s	counterparts the team like forced out
8615s	early beautiful Zuzu timing look at that
8618s	armor is like two other players and
8620s	managed to get both supports on the way
8622s	out nyxl Academy huge investors from
8624s	this baby but they're coming up with
8626s	absolutely nothing as a result
8628s	wisps and vets the Bob here I'm again a
8632s	little puzzled as to what that one is
8634s	about maybe a hero swap coming out if
8636s	not I still want to know what the game
8638s	plan is here because you see nyxl
8639s	Academy they keep trying to take that
8641s	elevator to get to The High Ground you
8643s	have to either do that or Force Rift
8645s	Guardians to play on the low ground and
8647s	then strike but you know they're not
8649s	really able to successfully do either
8651s	and when they think they have an opening
8652s	they want to invest in it but it's just
8654s	not bearing any fruit so you know what
8657s	is the game plan here you have a Kitsune
8659s	Rush is it going to be take the elevator
8660s	and just could soon a rush into the
8661s	enemy team because you know there's
8663s	gonna be another Kitsune Rush on the
8665s	other side that can just clap right back
8666s	and force you right back onto this low
8668s	ground now and that's the hardest part
8670s	this is why dive is so prominent on this
8672s	map is because there's just so few ways
8673s	to access that High Ground nyxl Academy
8675s	they're running out of options they're
8677s	pushing that payload just to try to
8679s	force with guardians down eventually
8681s	build up a little bit more of that alt
8682s	charge the main things they have here
8684s	these supporters are going to tell the
8685s	story of this fight specifically these
8688s	kituna version
8690s	major extension here wanted to find both
8692s	supports but gets met with two players
8694s	the healing is there to keep him alive
8696s	just for a little bit longer chisado has
8699s	to fight within both of the Kitsune
8701s	Russia spikes out on the objective but
8703s	cesty is back with a vengeance whips
8705s	won't be finding her head any longer in
8708s	this battle Kindred still decides to
8710s	commit this Rampage in and act just
8712s	gonna be enough to turn it around jono
8714s	barely has any help to suffice with cat
8716s	finds themselves way often the back line
8718s	nothing really to follow up on here
8720s	nyxl's persistence just forcing the
8722s	point taking the damage has bought
8724s	themselves more time more distance and
8726s	eventually they weathered the storm and
8728s	that was the right option that was the
8730s	answer to the problem that they were
8731s	having is you don't even try to take
8732s	that High Ground you just circumvent
8734s	that entirely push the cart pass to the
8736s	point where ripped Guardians have to
8737s	drop shesty doesn't drop and is able to
8739s	pick up a kill there but nyxl Academy
8741s	are ultimately unfazed as they have the
8743s	resources to take that fight on the low
8745s	ground and they're willing to expand
8746s	them to get the point here they have to
8748s	expend heavily but you take that for a
8750s	point cap here so maybe this fight is a
8752s	little dry and you try to lead some of
8754s	Rift Guardians resources out here but if
8755s	you can continue to force their
8756s	positioning you know you can still make
8759s	some more ground here get that card ever
8760s	closer to the end
8762s	you'll be satisfied with an econ push if
8764s	your nyxl Rifts Guardians on the other
8766s	hand they got to be careful what they're
8768s	pulling out here it's going to be that
8769s	Rampage to kick us off wico and
8771s	Kendrick's the only ones hit but Orion
8772s	the one to fall plenty of value to be
8775s	gained that quick reset just with that
8777s	Rampage out look what nyxl were able to
8779s	gain just from taking that drive yeah
8781s	you absolutely take that because now you
8783s	have both your DPS ultimates out here
8784s	and Wicca is you know still a little bit
8786s	of ways away from that sound barrier but
8788s	she can do enough work to get that in
8789s	and match jono here and that'll pretty
8792s	much put us at parity with these two
8794s	teams so yeah that one Eco push and just
8796s	getting one all out is everything
8797s	because now even playing ground and
8799s	that's Ryan yxl Academy in theory should
8802s	be the stronger
8803s	in theory yes but they don't have whisk
8806s	to start this one out it's like the
8808s	tables have been flipped and wisp has
8809s	had a Target on their head the whole
8812s	game hasn't really had a chance to get
8814s	much done so the Ritz Guardians they've
8816s	been able to stabilize along this
8818s	objective and we're looking at mirroring
8820s	Dragon blades and sound barriers ideally
8821s	used to counter the other out on getting
8824s	aggressive one to cancel barely touches
8827s	the ground there everyone has that over
8828s	Health the dragonblade completely
8830s	negated justado wants to take one for
8832s	their own turn with a cell barrier
8834s	though didn't end up hitting there was
8835s	no Shields provided I'm not entirely
8838s	sure how that happened but either way
8839s	that Dragon Place didn't come with
8841s	anything we're back to Ground Zero but
8843s	aurogori wants to make this one an even
8845s	fight giving that advantage to Rich
8847s	gordians just in time so Orion can buy
8849s	the time wait till this expires nyxl
8852s	they're gonna push back in right here
8853s	right now they've played the patient
8855s	game now it's time to pay it off down
8858s	those John oh can't win it which is too
8860s	late no Health remaining you had to go
8862s	for it there but you had another
8863s	restaurant meaning Rift Gordy's they
8865s	just really threw away any chances of a
8868s	recontest coming back in nyxl Academy
8870s	the team kill bell ringing on through
8873s	their March in this payload home 23
8875s	seconds on the clock of Hollywood
8877s	completion cat's just really trying to
8879s	go for the Hail Mary play there with
8880s	that last Rampage but it just gets
8882s	completely negated shut down by Kindred
8885s	and I don't even know that it would have
8886s	borne that much fruit again because I
8888s	think Orion still had the suzu I'm not
8891s	100 there but regardless nyxl Academy
8893s	was still at full strength they had a
8895s	phenomenal disengage through aramori's
8897s	Kitsune Rush where everyone from nyxl
8899s	Academy backed up wait until they were
8901s	at full strength and then struck with
8902s	their Kitsune Rush then came through
8904s	with their Rampage after aramori had
8907s	nothing that could have been that was
8909s	available jono Falls everyone else
8912s	starts to bleed out and Kat is forced
8914s	behind the eight ball where the trigger
8916s	has to be pulled you either go for that
8918s	Hail Mary play and try and make
8919s	something happen or you end up just
8921s	giving up the point and they do end up
8924s	giving up the point with 23 seconds
8925s	that's not the end of the world if
8927s	you're Rift Guardian something I like to
8929s	talk about a lot on hybrid Maps is how
8931s	these overtime rounds can shake out if
8933s	Rift Guardians are able to capture at
8935s	all even in OT we do get Extra Innings
8938s	it's one of the cool things about hybrid
8939s	that uh you know makes for those crazy
8941s	comebacks here and the way Rift
8943s	Guardians are playing I wouldn't
8944s	completely rule that out they seem to be
8947s	you know at least on equal footing with
8949s	nyxl Academy in terms of this junker
8951s	Queen mirror composition and I really
8953s	have to give props to cat for showing up
8955s	it didn't appear that way in that last
8957s	fight but again they had really no other
8959s	option but to try and use that alt
8961s	because you saw like they swapped the
8963s	doomfist for the contest anyway you
8964s	weren't gonna get another chance to use
8965s	that Rampage effectively
8968s	there was really nothing that could have
8970s	been done at that point yet give it your
8972s	best shot but here you are now fresh
8973s	start completely at zero Rift Guardians
8977s	wanting to push in we see the same issue
8979s	with wisp now on that High Ground
8980s	ideally the main target of focus for to
8983s	Shadow just to distract were concerned
8985s	to land those shots off the back of it
8987s	it's gonna be a slow engage in here to
8990s	find that little poke Fade Out those
8991s	cooldowns and find that optimal moment
8993s	nobody really willing to peek their head
8995s	around the corner fearing what wisp is
8998s	gonna be able to do yeah and it's the
8999s	same it's the same setup before where
9001s	you have with sun that high ground it's
9003s	just you know we've been a reverse card
9004s	at each other and now the offense is on
9006s	the defense but one thing has not
9008s	changed the more they change the more
9009s	they stay the same wisps getting the
9010s	early pick up there onto cheski and that
9012s	means rap Guardians they don't want any
9014s	more they want out yeah it's seriously
9016s	you're waiting for that little green
9018s	button to be pressed and everybody's
9020s	like all right it's go time full send it
9023s	on in and this is the value that you're
9025s	gonna see look at the difference in all
9026s	charge between Wisp and Cersei right now
9028s	and the crazy thing for to me also is
9030s	the fact that nyxl Academy even gave
9032s	Rift Guardians the blueprint on their
9034s	own attack for how to beat this it's
9036s	just you know Rift Guardians didn't
9037s	really have their notepads out and they
9039s	haven't really been able to do that and
9041s	not only that you have Kendra just
9042s	locking down the fork you're completely
9044s	stopping that point of Ingress so Ritz
9046s	Guardians they're having to scratch
9047s	their heads and think okay do we try and
9049s	go around the Alleyways we try and take
9050s	The High Ground what do we do how do we
9053s	deny this High Ground that wisps has so
9055s	he can stop being so oppressive from up
9057s	there and it's all about these angles
9060s	it's so difficult to have to attach onto
9062s	this and it's Guardians they're added
9063s	disadvantage in terms of the ultimate
9065s	economy that's gonna be the Rampage in
9066s	but as soon as it only hits aramori
9068s	which is not enough Rift Guardians to
9070s	weather that storm somehow the Bobby
9072s	ends up being the real hero of that
9074s	fight nyxl Academy they use a decent
9077s	amount there but just enough to hold on
9079s	yeah I will absolutely trade a rampage
9082s	and a bob and in order for having all of
9084s	your other ultimates out here still
9085s	having the ult advantage aramuri
9087s	investing that Kitsune Russian not
9089s	getting much of anything is the more
9090s	worrying thing here because again you
9092s	know ripped Guardians are the ones that
9093s	have to make a move here at nyxl Academy
9095s	if they continue to take the initiative
9097s	which the kitsudate rush allows you to
9099s	do then I mean again Rift Guardians what
9102s	do you do how do you respond you have to
9104s	play more reactively than you want to
9106s	when you're on the offense
9107s	and the only thing that I can think of
9109s	here that would allow them to initiate
9110s	would be that Dragon Blade if they can
9112s	get that off before winter gets his
9113s	final percentage of their sound barrier
9115s	I mean this could be really something
9117s	for just Shadow just to go in she can
9119s	take the advantage but not before wisp
9121s	does it themselves DeSoto has to make
9123s	something happen out of this put these
9124s	boots the scooters are not the Genji's
9126s	best friend sound barriers there but is
9128s	it too little too late joshado has
9131s	fallen rips Guardians have no players
9132s	left on their feet as bun is taking them
9134s	all down a size ripped Guardians they
9136s	have one more minute to make something
9138s	happen and we were talking about wicca's
9140s	beat what about Janos jono also used the
9142s	sound barrier and he wasn't able to
9144s	counteract buns Dragon Blade so again
9146s	nyxl Academy they have the Kitsune rush
9149s	they can still be the aggressors here
9150s	you know yeah they have the you know
9152s	Rift Guardians have the Bob and the uh
9154s	the Rampage here but this is where we're
9156s	starting to look at potentially an OT
9158s	cap if at all
9160s	they have to make it happen here it's
9162s	gonna be that katsune rush in early from
9164s	Orion but you know Kendrick's the only
9166s	one hit with that Rampage no suzu
9168s	available this is the best shot the rich
9170s	Guardians have had at locking down this
9172s	objective so far they made that switch
9173s	to the May CV we didn't see it at the
9175s	beginning of the flight but justado was
9177s	here walking down these angles it makes
9178s	it so much more difficult for you
9179s	re-engage to come in cat is not letting
9182s	anybody in this room that is the cat's
9184s	territory and The Ripped Guardians have
9186s	now unlocked that payload and yxl
9188s	Academy they're gonna take this one to
9189s	the next step I do really like the May
9191s	swap but yeah it's not gonna bear it's
9193s	not gonna be worth it on point B so I
9194s	like the the Tracer swap as well these
9196s	are some great plays coming up from
9197s	Casado now and that's what ultimately
9199s	does unlock the point for Rift Guardians
9201s	so now we're at the same situation where
9203s	nyxl Academy can control The High Ground
9205s	and Rift Guardians again have to be the
9207s	ones to dislodge them but I think the
9209s	Tracer is gonna be a lot better than you
9212s	know the Ash and the Genji that we've
9213s	received before because Tracer can kind
9215s	of zip around use the elevators from
9217s	either side go for an early flank here
9220s	but do you even knew that I made one got
9221s	punished on their flank but that pick
9224s	from Kindred is infinitely more valuable
9227s	here yeah ribs Guardians they lost that
9229s	Frontline battle and I think that's the
9230s	one disadvantage they're gonna find with
9231s	running the Tracer is that they're
9232s	taking these 4v5 in the front you said
9235s	bun got punished I would have said
9236s	punished but that's just because I'm not
9238s	French than you but regardless just a
9241s	little bit regardless nyxl Academy were
9243s	able to find the early pick-offs that
9244s	ended up making that not even really
9246s	worth it but I'm just gonna be back in
9247s	the fight and able to access The High
9249s	Ground again and be with the rest of her
9251s	team to strike with this rampage that
9254s	Kindred does have so whenever Rift
9255s	Guardians fall into that trap it's going
9257s	to be sprung and you gotta look at Armor
9260s	H be the one with the counter
9261s	aramore as this unit Rush wasn't able to
9264s	get the value out of it last time though
9266s	we need to see that aramori is going to
9269s	be the one to set this case through
9270s	there's not a lot of time for victorians
9272s	to make something happen in nyxl they
9275s	got The High Ground under luck they're
9276s	taking damage just through the point
9278s	keeping them distracted inching this
9280s	payload forward just meter by meter once
9282s	you see these drops start to come
9284s	through that's when you're gonna find
9285s	that opening but then again suresty goes
9288s	down almost immediately wisp has been on
9290s	point whenever they're on the defense
9291s	that High Ground Advantage has been
9293s	simply too much for chesty to handle the
9296s	Jordans they're down a player a minute
9297s	remaining and Amara Mori size now is the
9299s	go button 4v5 here to make it happen but
9302s	nyxl Academy they have ultimate skill
9304s	lore holding on to the back line that
9306s	sound barrier that gets any extra damage
9308s	coming on in Rush is the name of the
9311s	game here as Kindred strikes at full
9313s	swing backing off after the hit of the
9315s	Rampage but this isn't going to be
9317s	enough for them to go through Guardians
9318s	they've expended all of their major
9320s	resources jono uses
9321s	oh no cat is gone there's nothing to be
9325s	gained here Sammy that was their last
9327s	chance yeah and they don't even try to
9329s	take a fight because there's no time to
9331s	do it by the way nyxl Academy they know
9334s	what Rift Guardians are trying to do
9335s	they're trying to do the same thing that
9336s	nysl Academy did on their attack where
9338s	they just pushed the point and force
9339s	everyone off The High Ground but Kindred
9341s	is able to stay down there and prevent
9343s	them from doing so be a nuisance and
9345s	force Rift Guardians to expend resources
9347s	and that's when nyxl Academy jumped down
9349s	on top of them and take that low ground
9351s	fight you can see right now they're just
9353s	gonna go ahead and let them push it a
9354s	little bit further but now it's time to
9355s	extend and now it's time to use this old
9357s	thing to win all of the cues are pressed
9360s	all of them ripped Guardians they can't
9361s	match it no cat on the field they're not
9364s	gonna be able to pounce on the opponents
9365s	and nyxl Academy they're coming back
9368s	with a vengeance CB second place isn't
9371s	enough for them they're making the push
9372s	for the win they are making a name from
9374s	themselves here in the calling all
9376s	heroes circuit all the way up to match
9379s	point in the two maps that we have had
9382s	seen a play so far and I gotta say they
9385s	are looking deadly and dangerous out on
9387s	the battlefield I Kindred looks so
9390s	confident right now she is just locking
9391s	down any potential point of anger
9394s	to take whether it's in
9397s	the drug queen
9401s	Guardian simply cannot rotate they
9404s	cannot make progress unless they go
9406s	through Kindred she is the guardian of
9407s	the Guardians
9414s	in order to keep her alive and force
9417s	fans to counter invest to take her
9419s	unalive it hasn't been successful and
9422s	again we go back to that situation where
9424s	it's like you know we have wisps on The
9426s	High Ground versus chesty on The High
9428s	Ground well nysl Academy they just
9430s	circumvent The High Ground altogether
9432s	and chest is not able to get any
9434s	pick-offs whereas you know Rift
9436s	Guardians aren't able to do that to the
9438s	same extent they're not able to make
9439s	effective use of the commanding shouts
9441s	they're not able to be as strong and as
9443s	confident in their junker Queen play to
9444s	make those sorts of plays so wisps just
9447s	continues to have a shooting gallery
9449s	where they can constantly hit these head
9450s	shots shut down chesty and pretty much
9453s	take away again take away with guardians
9455s	plan a I like the plan B's that they're
9458s	coming out with though I like the May
9459s	swaps I like some of the Genji play that
9461s	we're seeing some of the blades could
9463s	use a little bit a little bit of work
9464s	here and the timing on some of these
9466s	sound barriers and other alt Investments
9468s	yeah still need to be shaped up here but
9471s	for how how strong of a Swiss stage this
9474s	team has this Rift Guardian squad has
9476s	had
9477s	I expect them to come back with
9478s	something I expect them to have an ace
9479s	up their sleeve at some point in time
9481s	this is a team that's called undefeated
9483s	they haven't lost a single match in this
9485s	circuit which is pretty crazy to say I I
9488s	honestly that that's just awesome from
9490s	them to be able to pull this out and
9491s	seeing them struggle here against the
9493s	team they have already beaten mind you
9495s	nyxl Academy they're here at full
9498s	strength they really took the tempo into
9500s	their own hands you were talking about
9501s	it too CB about how they weren't getting
9503s	value Ritz Guardians they couldn't get
9505s	the value out of their ultimates they
9507s	couldn't get the value out of the pushes
9508s	they were making because nyxl they were
9510s	the initiators whether it was on attacks
9511s	or defense it was constant reaction time
9514s	going on that attacking side and Rift
9516s	Guardians they couldn't match it and
9517s	that's just a huge Temple thing in the
9520s	game of OverWatch that if you don't have
9521s	control over you're not able to play
9523s	your own game and you're just at such a
9525s	deficit the whole time you need to hope
9527s	that heading to a new map getting a
9529s	fresh start they are able to flip this
9531s	around we questioned that Hollywood put
9533s	at the very beginning of this series and
9535s	I'm really starting to question it once
9537s	again you put the eggs into the basket
9539s	of shashti to come up big on the hitscan
9542s	couldn't get it done so they're taking
9544s	it here back to Havana with the ramachar
9547s	gameplay to hopefully win this one back
9549s	out
9549s	I think I kind of like this pick though
9552s	I think if you try to play the Poke
9553s	composition and force maybe a more of a
9555s	poke mirror you can maybe give Jesse a
9557s	chance to make a comeback and be the one
9559s	that starts to lead the charge for you
9561s	but that said you know Kindred is also
9563s	very strong on the sigma I'm aware that
9564s	she has some other really strong tanks
9567s	up her sleeve we might see summer Matra
9569s	rush or some close spawn holds and we
9571s	did see that same thing early on in
9573s	Oasis so it's entirely plausible that uh
9576s	you know this ends up being the hill
9578s	that uh that Rift Guardians die on here
9581s	they're behind the eight ball they have
9583s	to make a play right now and Havana I
9585s	think is a good pick but it can also be
9587s	a shaky pick it's gonna depend on how
9588s	nyxl Academy reacts to this newfound
9591s	information
9592s	we saw how they played on it grits
9595s	Guardians they pulled out the raw Mantra
9597s	they had the Mayan for some bits this
9599s	this was about getting the rush allowing
9600s	cat to create that space and of course
9603s	chesty went absolutely Ham on the Hanzo
9606s	I want to see that come back out here
9607s	that is my thought behind picking this
9609s	map is you're returning to Old Habits
9610s	you found something that worked this is
9612s	where they have found their success Rift
9613s	Guardians it is now that they need to
9615s	make something happen they are down on
9616s	Match Point nyxl Academy they've tasted
9618s	blood in the water they are hungry for
9620s	this Victory CB they want it here they
9622s	want it now and we haven't we don't have
9625s	an idea of what they're gonna pull out
9626s	in this map we've seen several looks
9628s	from them that could come out and it all
9630s	honestly is going to amount to our risk
9632s	your audience expecting what they're
9634s	about to have thrown out them yeah and I
9637s	gotta hope that this is part of so okay
9639s	going back to uh sorry for my slurred
9642s	speech here I'm thinking like a mile per
9643s	minute trying to analyze like what the
9645s	Savannah pick means I think that their
9648s	inability to make some of those
9649s	rotations kind of goes back to nyxl
9652s	Academy's confidence in the junker Queen
9653s	composition and their confidence in
9655s	Kindred like I was saying and the lack
9657s	of Confidence from Rift Guardians in
9659s	that composition means that they want to
9660s	try and put their eggs into something
9662s	that they are confident in so they feel
9664s	like they can be in the driver's seat
9665s	and you know again we saw how strong
9668s	they were in the previous matchup we
9669s	know that they do have a lot of faith in
9671s	chessy's ability to pound if given the
9673s	space to do so and they have a lot more
9675s	faith in their ability to play the
9677s	compositions like the ramatra or like
9679s	the sigma poke that might give them the
9681s	ability to do that so again I like this
9684s	but it's they're be able to be proactive
9687s	with this sort of composition I'm hoping
9689s	otherwise we might be looking at a 3-0
9691s	and that's kind of scary like yeah and
9694s	it also comes back to like wisps is
9696s	wisps just the better hit scan right now
9699s	like that is also another possibility we
9701s	might be facing down it might be that
9702s	even if you're putting your eggs into
9704s	the chesty basket it might not get you
9707s	the win because maybe wisps is just that
9709s	strong right now maybe today is with
9711s	stay and we all need to be celebrating
9713s	because the shots they have been hitting
9715s	are phenomenal and it goes back to the
9719s	way that the entire team is playing but
9720s	that's still with showing up at the
9722s	moment when it counts it's what we saw
9724s	from chesty and it's what we need to see
9726s	from her again is this pick what is
9728s	going to get them that
9730s	it has to be there's no other chance
9732s	after this one this is the last map pick
9734s	that Rifts Guardians will be able to
9736s	have from this point on they're looking
9738s	at a reverse sweep which that is not an
9740s	easy thing to accomplish yeah just even
9742s	being at this point from a mental aspect
9744s	you're not feeling good you just went
9745s	down 2-0 two of which were on your own
9748s	map picks I mean this was supposed to be
9750s	your time to pick what the composition
9751s	was control the different areas that you
9754s	like play to what you've practiced
9755s	you've been shut down on both this is
9757s	your third and last shot at being able
9759s	to have that bit of say on which
9762s	direction that series is I will say
9764s	though sorry to cut you off but so when
9766s	you said reverse sweep it just activated
9768s	my neurons and I remembered a
9770s	conversation I had last night where I
9772s	was like okay they ripped Guardians and
9774s	Whiplash went at it off stream and
9777s	Whiplash was up 2-0 Rift Guardians
9780s	reverse swept them they did it's
9781s	something that they have proven that
9782s	they are capable of doing and if you
9783s	remember Whiplash was another really
9785s	strong junker Queen team so maybe it's
9788s	not only just what they're trying to do
9789s	in the previous series maybe they
9791s	believe that they can do what they did
9792s	against Whiplash in order to get that
9794s	win there you know obviously those that
9796s	matchup wasn't on stream and we only had
9798s	the stream uh the calling all heroes
9800s	admins to report the scores to us so we
9802s	saw the score line in the chat and I
9804s	talked to some of the players after the
9805s	fact so I have a general idea of how
9808s	they did it to like a very vague and
9810s	abstract
9812s	sense but it's something that they're
9813s	capable of doing so if this is the game
9815s	plan if this is the blueprint and they'd
9817s	want to reverse sweep again and it
9818s	starts here I have faith that they're
9820s	capable to do it it looks like both
9823s	teams are going to try and go for a
9824s	matcha compositions here with nyxl
9826s	Academy going for the close holds here
9828s	and it's gonna be up to Rift Guardians
9830s	to try and crack this but Jesse is
9833s	definitely able uh capable of hitting
9834s	some of these opening shots that might
9835s	just throw a spanner as the worst Remy
9837s	XL Academy and force them to give some
9839s	ground here
9840s	the reason Rift Guardians won this map
9842s	last time was because of chesty and Kat
9844s	working together to just walk on through
9846s	with their opponents and nyxl Academy
9848s	they're taking a play out of their own
9850s	book into spawn hold and already not off
9852s	to an explended start here the body
9854s	block from Kindred oh that is just
9856s	brutal
9857s	ouch
9858s	yeah and I mean it's not off to a great
9860s	start but you know Rift Guardians that's
9861s	whatever you take that one on the chin
9863s	you know you still have time to mount a
9865s	sizable offense here try and find a
9867s	pickup but the more these walls section
9869s	players off and the more you're like
9871s	becoming victims of your own walls and
9873s	the body blocks from Kindred the more
9875s	time is gonna burn off the clock here
9876s	that's a great wall to start things off
9878s	if they're able to finish off Kindred
9879s	but it doesn't look like they're gonna
9881s	be able to no I mean kindred's been
9883s	walled off so many times with the focus
9885s	fire hasn't been there and it is on side
9888s	of nyxl Academy they are locking this
9890s	down getting decent success out of this
9892s	spawn hold and they're actually gonna
9893s	have those ultimates up to continue this
9895s	further and I think they understand the
9897s	assignment is that the easiest way to
9899s	crack this defense is to get a head shot
9901s	with the Hanzo or find an icicle and if
9903s	you just simply don't give either of the
9905s	DPS players an angle to do that it will
9907s	not happen so yeah they're happy to put
9909s	all these eggs in this room matcha
9910s	versus ramacho with the walls to try and
9912s	section it off form a little you know
9914s	impromptu boxing ring for the two of
9916s	them because that takes time for that to
9918s	play out whereas a pick would just be
9920s	instantaneous and suddenly the door
9921s	would be wide open
9923s	and they gotta find that opening soon I
9925s	mean look these Maples they've been
9926s	isolating so incredibly well the dragon
9928s	strike didn't buy the space you wanted
9929s	to so and last Academy they're rushing
9931s	back in with the blizzard that only
9933s	manages to catch one the Brad ramacha
9936s	old still ends up hitting this is Cap's
9937s	opening finally getting those
9939s	eliminations to come up it was an
9940s	expensive battle from them her with
9942s	guardians they're just happy to be able
9944s	to exit from their own spawns explore
9945s	some more pieces of Havana the good news
9947s	here though is that you're able to hold
9949s	on to both support ultimates so they can
9950s	try and use this amplification Matrix
9952s	early to try and section off nyxl
9954s	Academy and force some positioning to
9956s	make it risky for them to try and engage
9957s	from the angles that they want to play
9959s	at to bleed more time off the clock here
9960s	your if your Rift Guardians you have two
9962s	minutes to try and build up the
9963s	something else that can net you the
9965s	fight here and you have to find an
9966s	answer for kindred's annihilation so
9968s	that's your assignment do you understand
9970s	are you able to accomplish this let's
9972s	find out
9974s	that focused buyer it needs to be on
9976s	points or you have to be willing to
9977s	commit this sound barrier something to
9979s	stop this from happening it's actually
9980s	make the sound of your nypso Academy but
9982s	too little too late as their DPS have
9984s	fallen losing their respective Jewels
9986s	Rift Guardians they're coming out to
9988s	play once they've gained that momentum
9989s	they're starting to snowball this one on
9991s	forwards and a great way to counter
9993s	kindred's Annihilation is to make it far
9995s	too costly for her to pull the trigger
9996s	uh Wicca unfortunately does invest the
9999s	sound barrier but I guess because jono
10001s	does as well you're kind of okay with
10003s	that though you would like to have that
10004s	in the event that gisado gets a little
10006s	bit more work done and builds up that
10007s	blizzard regardless though Rift
10009s	Guardians are able to capture point a
10010s	and that is absolutely massive and they
10012s	have a pretty decent time bank to work
10014s	through the Distillery here again that
10016s	Annihilation is still on in play on the
10018s	field and kinda has to be the thing we
10020s	focus in on how does kindred use it is
10022s	she going to be given a chance to use it
10024s	and is that just what nyxl Academy want
10026s	to engage with here yeah I want to see
10028s	Kendrick use it here because these walls
10030s	now that you've baited them out you
10031s	basically have this free quarters
10032s	building at this point is going to be
10034s	big but the folks fires there look how
10036s	low Kendrick ended up following
10038s	everybody on Gritz Guardians is holding
10039s	that s key with a passion and it ended
10042s	up working out today skindred got
10043s	shredded through the back line that is
10045s	Rich Gordy is coming up with the
10047s	shutdown necessary and nyxl failing to
10049s	compromise on their win conditions
10051s	that's also a phenomenal Dragon strike
10053s	from chesty there that ends up punishing
10054s	the over commitment from nyxl Academy
10056s	everybody from Rift Guardians disengaged
10058s	from that Annihilation played back use
10060s	the immortality use the walls use the
10062s	shield use everything you can to put the
10064s	distance there and bait Kindred into the
10066s	Trap and then it sprung there comes the
10069s	dragon strike Everyone Falls now jasada
10071s	with the blizzard though but wisps
10073s	always manages to catch out the May the
10076s	follow-up isn't there but thankfully
10077s	whisk the only one Frozen to be able to
10079s	kind of slide down that staircase like a
10081s	little water slide out there it's gonna
10082s	be okay to fight another day but Bud
10084s	certainly not this is Jersey this is she
10087s	coming back up we needed to see her
10089s	start to pop off hit these shots on the
10091s	Hanzo hasn't been done so far but
10093s	actually gets caught up by whiff
10094s	striking right back blow for blow
10097s	matching what their opponent was able to
10099s	come out with nyxl Academy narrowly
10101s	manages to hold on to the second point
10103s	and if we go back to the early fight
10105s	where the dragon strike was invested
10106s	that ended up letting Rift Guardians
10109s	take the high ground and take the
10110s	forward positioning but with that one
10112s	Arrow from wisp it's now taken away
10114s	chesty was no longer able to hold that
10116s	no longer able to be a threat and now
10118s	nyxl Academy have this oppressive High
10120s	Ground that Rift guard against have to
10122s	dislodge them from they have an
10123s	annihilation of their own but they have
10124s	to get cat up there and I mean I know
10127s	cats love to climb and they love to jump
10129s	but you got to be able to get them up
10130s	there to pop this off and you also have
10133s	to worry about lizard coming out from
10134s	buns
10135s	there's so many things right now for
10137s	nyxl Academy to be able to put this one
10139s	to bed and Bun wants to be the one to
10141s	initiate early this blizzard isolating
10143s	this choke would be huge but I think
10145s	Rick Guardians they've identified that
10146s	fact they're not willing to push through
10147s	that point cat wants to get up to this
10149s	High Ground after getting so rudely
10150s	knocked off the back gets knocked up
10152s	again nope it just says no yeah no
10156s	that's not bad off the counter no stop
10158s	knocking things over you know bad cat
10161s	bad cat get off I mean I demon times I
10163s	have to tell my cat that I literally
10164s	have a water pistol on my desk right now
10166s	every time I catch us up here no get
10167s	down two that's exactly the experience I
10170s	have a spray bottle I feel like a water
10171s	pistol is a little bit too aggressive
10173s	here speaking of aggression here though
10175s	drift Guardians are gonna need to have
10176s	some of it that's a great wall to
10177s	section off Kindred but cat actually
10179s	wants to sneak right through the crack
10180s	there and pop the annihilation
10182s	moving right up on finding that little
10184s	opening that's necessary but cat's
10186s	getting focused down heavily the sound
10187s	barrier had to be invested just to offer
10189s	a little bit of barrier in between nice
10190s	body block coming up through the may but
10192s	just can't have enough Health to sustain
10193s	this block is coming in big 60 damage
10196s	mitigation it's gonna be enough but now
10198s	the match ultimate from Kendrick coming
10200s	on the other side once you knowledge
10202s	opponents but completely zoned off and
10204s	my next Academy they're committing
10206s	heavily into this CB but somehow some
10208s	way Rift Guardians have managed to hold
10210s	on to their lives and even grab Orion
10212s	off the back of it jasodo making these
10214s	Final Cut last seconds of the second
10216s	objective count give them that little
10218s	extra boost to push through these final
10220s	Gates beautiful play here from Rift
10223s	Guardians what a way to hold on yeah and
10225s	Kindred when she when she Pops that
10226s	isolation there's just too much pressure
10228s	on her that she can't push forward to
10230s	make any use out of it so Rift Guardians
10231s	they're comfortable to just disengage a
10233s	little bit that's a beautiful wall to
10234s	just stop the contest here that's an
10236s	easy point B cap here for Rift Guardians
10238s	you'll love to see it they're still in
10240s	the fight here but now there's gonna be
10241s	a real close fight here because Kindred
10243s	Wants Revenge for that last play
10245s	Kindred is already up here by getting
10247s	isolated and that all that Nemesis form
10249s	is about to expire has to get back to
10251s	the team quickly to be able to reset
10253s	keep their life nyxl Academy doing the
10256s	right thing by opting for a close hold
10258s	but ideally they have to find a way in
10260s	here bond is going to come up with that
10262s	Wing condition of that blizzard here
10263s	shortly but holding on for a little
10265s	longer taking the time to build up that
10267s	ultimate charge this neutral game is so
10269s	incredibly important at the time we are
10271s	currently Atkins finding them right in
10273s	the back but Wicca doing the damage just
10276s	these day we're getting nothing with
10277s	that Hanzo everyone else trapped between
10279s	a rock and a matcha here not getting
10282s	anywhere too far fast nyxl Academy
10284s	they've locked it down but Rift
10285s	Guardians are coming back with a
10287s	vengeance that's a lot of aggression to
10289s	go in to try and clean up armor either
10290s	and that's gonna end up buying them some
10291s	time and now we're at a spawn hold
10293s	situation here yeah so everybody who
10295s	dies on which Guardians sure the spawn
10297s	point is right there but nyxl Academy
10299s	didn't lose anything and they gained
10301s	everything look at their old economy
10303s	it's gonna be quite the uphill battle
10305s	for rich Guardians to get out of their
10307s	spawn here I hope they brought their
10308s	climbing shoes or this might be where
10309s	the cart stops oh this is going to be so
10312s	hard at this point they've got at least
10314s	two more fights they have to pull out
10316s	but they first got to start with winning
10317s	the one at hand breaking through that
10319s	spawn hold they have the tools to do it
10321s	but nyxl they have more and Kindred is
10324s	Out For Blood marching into the sponge
10326s	because she didn't know what was coming
10328s	Kendrick finds another one just out of
10330s	the pure aggression suddenly cat finds
10332s	herself all lonely no friends left to
10335s	keep her alive this is where the payload
10337s	is going to stop nice spawn hold from
10340s	nyxl Academy stabilizing at the very end
10343s	rip Guardians they gotta take it for
10345s	what they've got because that win
10346s	condition has been set the card stopping
10349s	there presents a pretty sizable problem
10352s	for Rift Guardians because they can hold
10354s	on point a and they can hold on point B
10356s	but you no longer really have the space
10359s	for chesty to be able to play that long
10361s	sight line that you get on point C of
10363s	Havana that can make her that oppressive
10365s	presence that they were really hoping to
10368s	have on their on their defense here so
10371s	now when nyxl Academy if they push
10373s	through Point C it's gonna have to be a
10375s	similar spawn hold in order to stay
10377s	alive and I don't know if I like ripped
10380s	Guardians close range brawl game I like
10383s	their poke composition and I like the
10385s	way that they're able to play when chest
10387s	is able to hit these headshots from
10389s	distance but you know it's really only
10391s	chisado that's able to win the close
10393s	range game and we haven't really seen
10395s	quite enough of that you know we're
10397s	we're not really putting chisato in
10399s	situations where that's the beneficial
10401s	play more often than not so Rift
10403s	Guardians they're gonna have to bleed a
10405s	ton of time off here with the spawn hold
10407s	that of course nyxl Academy know is
10409s	going to be coming and not only that
10411s	they have to try and get a point a or
10414s	point B shutdown here they can't let
10416s	them cap point B or nyxl Academy they
10419s	just they just take this
10421s	they do I mean this this is something
10423s	that Rift Guardians they picked this map
10425s	they have the confidence that they can
10426s	succeed and I think a lot of that is
10428s	going to stem from here on this defense
10430s	how is this spawn hold really going to
10433s	pan out from them nyxl Academy they know
10435s	what's coming it's a play from their own
10437s	book at this rate justado though doesn't
10440s	get that wall off in quite the way they
10442s	want it without that cooldown in play
10443s	Kindred decides it's their time to walk
10445s	in try to find this opening but scarcity
10447s	has locked down their main source of
10449s	damage into the spawns so and why
10452s	there's not a lot of pick potential on
10454s	their side ripped Guardian it took a
10455s	heavy advantage of that are going to win
10457s	this first battle out and this is
10459s	justado getting that room that we needed
10461s	them to have CB yeah Wicca I mean also
10464s	almost got some kills there had she
10466s	gotten that kill onto Chicago there that
10468s	might have been the end of this hold
10469s	here but Rift Guardians able to cling On
10471s	by The Skin of Their Teeth there and
10473s	keep this going continue to believe more
10475s	time we bled about a minute off we need
10477s	to do that again in order to match what
10479s	nyxl Academy did on their defense here
10481s	the longer these fights go the more it's
10483s	going to uh it's going to benefit ripped
10486s	Guardians though so even if they don't
10487s	get early picks that's great but getting
10490s	picked early is awful yo that's terrible
10492s	for Rich Guardians their force is
10494s	crumbling here on their spawn hold
10496s	they're just gonna have to give it up
10498s	take down as many as they can with them
10500s	but in the end you're gonna have to
10502s	Forfeit this positioning it didn't turn
10505s	out as terribly as it could have getting
10507s	a good minute 15 off the clock not bad
10509s	at all Kindred beat cat to the
10511s	annihilation despite being oppressed in
10513s	the spawn that entire time kiddyard was
10515s	able to get more work done than cat and
10517s	build up to that Annihilation faster I
10519s	don't know if Rift Guardians are going
10521s	to have scouted that out yet and might
10524s	not be aware that she has that tool it's
10526s	likely they know bun has the blizzard
10528s	and they need to try and do some work to
10529s	build to the sound barrier to counter
10531s	that but they're not going to give them
10532s	the time fun she wants to go in now talk
10535s	about an element of surprise nobody
10536s	checked the radar today because there's
10538s	a blizzard up there ripped Guardians
10539s	nyxl Academy completely caught them by
10542s	surprise thought they had the high
10543s	grounds locked down but bun and she's
10545s	gonna go ahead single-handedly take nyxl
10548s	to another fight win the good news
10550s	though is rift Guardians don't invest in
10551s	that and there is still time for one
10553s	more push here because they took that
10555s	fight so early they just have to get
10557s	someone in with the touch the bad news
10558s	is that jono was the last one to fall
10560s	and that's likely the easiest touch that
10562s	you're going to get so Rift Guardians
10564s	it's gonna be tight but they have to try
10566s	and go in here it looks like everyone's
10567s	ready to go and they're about to pounce
10568s	on it it's time to go there's the gold
10571s	button there's that blizzard locked up
10573s	Kendra didn't get be our beautiful
10574s	mayweal to block that off getting the
10577s	end of the real Mantra no Annihilation
10579s	to be seen Rift Guardians horrifically
10581s	countered that out but they need to
10583s	continue to carry it forwards because
10584s	nyxl it seems they still want to commit
10586s	into this Sal Baron was laid down from
10587s	Wicca both support ultimates and the
10589s	dragon strike Stevie what just happened
10591s	for nyxl Academy I mean they just got
10594s	hit with a Haymaker out of nowhere I
10596s	don't think they fought they I don't
10597s	think they were ready for Rich Guardians
10598s	to come out of the gate swinging that
10600s	hard and that fast and for them to
10601s	invest as heavily as they did and this
10604s	is starting to get a little bit scary
10606s	here because this is where the cart is
10607s	very far away from the spawn and now the
10610s	spawn Advantage is a little bit more in
10611s	favor of Rift Guardians they can really
10613s	start to dig their heels in here they
10615s	only really have a dragon strike to do
10617s	it and Kindred is gonna have the
10618s	annihilation so old wise you favor nyxl
10620s	Academy but an early pickoff from chesty
10623s	or indeed isolating with this Dragon
10625s	strike and finding a pickup onto Wicca
10627s	or Kindred would be phenomenal you gotta
10629s	find this one out but Kindred is able to
10631s	get the ultimate needed that extra armor
10633s	to keep themselves insane but artists
10634s	are boring the hero of the day that
10636s	Matrix is able to shred through that
10638s	Macho ultimate you don't have to worry
10640s	about if a Rip's Guardians they're
10641s	fighting in a 4v3 battle and especially
10643s	with bun nearing a blizzard of their own
10645s	it's gonna be tricky Donald laid down
10647s	the sound beer and providing an extra
10649s	Health to cat wants to weather the storm
10650s	but unable to escape the frosty grasp of
10653s	one absolutely destroyed any hope Rift
10657s	Guardians had of getting the full point
10658s	oh they were so close CB but nyxl
10661s	Academy were just too strong to be
10663s	stopped uh you've heard the phrase a day
10665s	late in a dollar short but Jonah was
10666s	like a day early and a dollar to having
10669s	too many dollars I guess decided to pop
10671s	the sound barrier before the Blizzard
10673s	from bun came out so she was just able
10675s	to mop up with that ultimate I liked the
10677s	sound barrier for a split second but
10679s	once that blizzard came out in response
10680s	I was like oh no here good news is again
10683s	Ritz Guardians are gonna be able to
10685s	control this High ground and take the
10686s	fight here and not give it up to nyxl
10688s	Academy for free so this is where chesty
10690s	might have some angles to try and find
10691s	some head shots gisado might be able to
10693s	find kind of blizzard and indeed that's
10695s	what they're gonna go in with but
10696s	justado Falls trying to cast it you
10698s	gotta find the shots on that thankfully
10700s	you have somebody named shusty and she
10702s	is her on the Honda able to clean up the
10705s	house compensate for the loss of the May
10707s	and you know what nyxl Academy I think
10708s	they're okay with taking that loss here
10710s	yeah I mean and they're gonna have the
10712s	the amplification Matrix but they don't
10714s	really have a position that they can
10715s	reliably put it down to pressure ripped
10717s	Guardians and take any positioning here
10718s	because Rift Guardians have the
10720s	oppressive High ground and they have the
10722s	ability for cat to stay here on the low
10723s	ground and continually pressure the rest
10725s	of nyxl Academy out and unless they can
10727s	section them off and take cat down with
10730s	a maywall uh not quite like that may
10732s	wall there's not really a way to
10734s	dislodge them
10737s	it was a surprise attack Orion managed
10740s	to walk their way up to the Heights nyxl
10742s	Academy wrapped around forced the
10744s	positioning off with guardians that may
10746s	well really just left them confused they
10748s	didn't recover in time and here they are
10750s	again nyxl Academy they got the
10751s	positioning advantage that's kind of the
10753s	one drawback to having cat playing on
10756s	the low ground there because you don't
10757s	have the ramacha to be on the high
10758s	ground to bully nyxl Academy back so
10760s	they can just say no we don't really
10762s	want to play with you right now cat and
10764s	they can yeah like you said just wrap
10765s	around on The High Ground pop the ant
10767s	Matrix and force with guardians
10768s	positioning that way and now they have
10769s	an ult advantage to jam this card into
10772s	point B Rift Guardians they have to find
10773s	something to make a stand here because
10775s	this is where nyxl Academy can just win
10777s	it outright if they get this cap they
10780s	really can they have to find out when
10781s	conditioner has to be shutting whisper
10782s	down not allowing that
10784s	overclock to come up with any value off
10787s	on the back end we'll just be able to
10788s	hide it in a small room but they're down
10790s	in hell but able to survive Sound Mirror
10792s	in play letting them escape with has
10794s	fallen nyxl Academy they're running on
10796s	fumes right now they need to bust it up
10799s	several ultimate several cues have been
10801s	pressed to clean the floor if they can
10803s	get this point capture here this could
10804s	be big cat had to come up with an extra
10806s	Annihilation but suddenly they're still
10808s	down in numbers the commitment was
10809s	theirs leaving a new this could
10811s	potentially be the last fight but nyxl
10814s	did as well they're taking it they're
10815s	gonna grab it in overtime now the
10817s	question is can Rift Guardians get there
10818s	in time just barely but the problem is
10821s	cat was the last to die your tank is not
10823s	there there is not enough presence
10824s	Kendrick can just March forward and Rift
10826s	Guardians won't have any chance to
10828s	contest cat has to swap to the wrecking
10830s	ball to try and get from the far spawn
10831s	to this golden box of Victory these
10833s	precious few seconds where the cart
10834s	hasn't start started moving yet that's
10837s	Rift guardian's entire Lifeline they
10839s	have to make something happen right now
10840s	there's no more time they don't have
10843s	time and they don't have a mantra cat
10845s	had to be forced to move to the wrecking
10846s	ball just to have a tank here in this
10848s	final shot to soda blizzard chucked into
10850s	the back line which is huge gets rid of
10852s	throw Mantra that ant Matrix isn't gonna
10854s	find anything
10856s	Live Another Day when's tomorrow
10859s	that was the only core they had left to
10861s	play now all they're doing is relying on
10863s	the stall to come through but Wisp and
10865s	butt have shut it down at the bud
10867s	nothing left to be shown from the
10869s	Guardians of the Wisp nyxl Academy they
10873s	have the payload under blocks three
10874s	meters separating them from their own
10877s	victory that Championship is in sight
10879s	they have to get through the stall get
10881s	rid of the wrecking ball get rid of the
10884s	Tracer coming Andy's players flying at
10886s	all angles but nyxl Academy they have
10889s	done it they have proved the doubter is
10891s	wrong and here they are champions of the
10893s	calling out Heroes Rico Miner one back
10896s	to back three O's on the day and taking
10899s	the championship taking the crown your
10901s	load screen minor recall sorry load
10904s	screen recall minor one Champions nyxl
10906s	Academy that is how you make a statement
10909s	that is how you make a Redemption Arc
10911s	happen that is this is just the start
10913s	honestly for this squad with the circuit
10915s	points they're gonna get from this they
10917s	will almost certainly take first place
10919s	overall going forward in the rest of the
10921s	calling all heroes tournaments but even
10923s	just today we don't even have to think
10925s	long term let's just look at the right
10926s	now this team is the right now they're
10928s	going to be feeling themselves they are
10930s	bouncing back at a major way and oh my
10932s	Lord when it comes to the next major
10934s	they better be ones that you watch out
10937s	for
10938s	they haven't hit the grind CB you can
10940s	tell not only did they beat the previous
10942s	Champion the one who shut them down
10944s	Timeless in the semi-finals they came in
10946s	they had the confidence to come out big
10949s	today here they are 3-0 against Rift
10951s	Guardians even a comeback from them they
10953s	have proved everyone wrong who has ever
10955s	doubted them in the colonial Heroes
10957s	scene and this is such an important
10959s	victory for this team to be able to have
10961s	pulled out here today and you know we've
10963s	talked so much about how these players
10965s	individually come together but as a
10967s	whole as a team when they were on the
10969s	same page they truly proved that they
10971s	are the better Squad out there and it
10973s	all started with Kindred look at the
10975s	statistics coming out from the damaged
10978s	side while it was very close on both
10980s	ends there was just some things that
10982s	could not be countered out and it really
10985s	ended up to harming Rift Guardians they
10987s	couldn't get the recovery that they were
10989s	hoping for the reverse sweep shut down
10991s	unable to happen and I again I like the
10995s	I like the Havana pick for Rift
10997s	Guardians I thought that that really
10998s	gave them a chance to play to their
11000s	strengths but it seemed like when the
11002s	chips were down when the fights were at
11004s	their most even is when nyxl just proved
11007s	to be the best I don't okay these stats
11009s	aren't real this one's followed this
11011s	one's false I know Kendra did a lot more
11013s	than zero damage the twenty of three
11016s	seconds
11019s	I was about to say like oh holy okay
11023s	wow Kindred these are rookie numbers
11025s	step this up zero damage I know you're
11028s	better than that unacceptable no Kindred
11030s	is a phenomenal Wickham I love she did a
11032s	phenomenal job on the Lucio but I know
11034s	we didn't get to see any of her stats
11035s	but the rest of nyxl Academy they have
11037s	stepped it up they have identified some
11040s	of the flaws that uh that kind of
11042s	hindered them in the past and only
11044s	netted them a runner-up position in the
11046s	previous major and they have ironed it
11048s	all out and they looked dominant today
11050s	not just in this but a 3-0 against the
11053s	reigning Champions or sorry previously
11055s	rating Champions Timeless ethereal 30
11057s	against them going right into a 3-0
11060s	against Rift guard against a team that
11061s	again was undefeated in the Swiss stage
11063s	had a phenomenal Swiss stage dropping
11065s	very few Maps across the board I don't
11067s	think that I don't know if they lost any
11070s	Maps aside from the ones they lost to
11071s	Whiplash yesterday but
11073s	you can see why you can see the
11075s	strengths of this Rift Guardians team
11076s	nyxl beat them and made it look easy
11079s	they made like they Kindred like kind of
11083s	bullied cat like took their lunch money
11085s	like cat owes Kindred lunch money at
11086s	this point in time because at the end
11088s	like all cat really had was ious left to
11090s	give her so like
11092s	yeah I love to see it you know I I have
11094s	a lot of friends on this team I'm a
11096s	little biased I have to say I love nyxl
11098s	Academy I'm glad to see them doing well
11100s	I'm glad to see them winning 3-0 I'm
11102s	glad to see them dominating and I hope
11104s	to see more of it going forward
11106s	I know this has been such a great series
11108s	to watch not only just in the grand
11110s	finals but also throughout the
11112s	tournament circuits we're not done just
11114s	yet though we are gonna have a Winner's
11116s	interview coming up from nyxl Academy
11118s	we're gonna go ahead get that set up and
11120s	we'll be right back with you just after

11220s	hi uh this is Bailey from the OverWatch
11223s	League I also go by Pizza Penguin online
11225s	and I am a transgender woman who goes by
11228s	shivay pronouns I work on the OverWatch
11230s	League Factor Pro and I help with
11232s	Colonial Heroes for me when I first got
11234s	involved in compatible watch I didn't
11235s	even know it existed I've been playing
11237s	OverWatch for about four years or so or
11240s	maybe three but I had no idea that
11241s	competitive OverWatch existed until I
11243s	randomly got asked hey Bailey wanna go
11245s	to a scrim and I was like what's a scrim
11247s	I then participated in a scrim for my
11250s	Collegiate team it was awesome um I had
11252s	so much fun to me that was the best
11254s	OverWatch I've ever played my first
11256s	scream I had a blast and I just set this
11258s	passion this fire a light of my heart
11260s	for competitive OverWatch and team
11262s	environments it just adds so much for
11264s	everyone and it's just an incredible
11265s	experience that I think everyone should
11266s	be able to feel that it can belong in
11268s	and take part of and see that's why I
11270s	think calling a Heroes is so important
11271s	is that not everyone's comfortable being
11273s	part of every single Esports program
11275s	just to a variety of factors especially
11277s	members of martialized generators they
11278s	don't normally feel comfortable
11279s	participating in our main other circuits
11282s	and I understand why that is so I'm just
11284s	so glad that Calling Your Heroes exists
11285s	because it gives people this place where
11287s	they are comfortable to engage to
11289s	participate and to keep it's so cool
11291s	that this excess and that people tend to
11293s	use it

11657s	and welcome back to the calling all
11660s	heroes recall minor one event we have
11663s	crowned our first champion of the minor
11665s	event nyxl Academy are taking on the
11668s	gold today it was such a beautiful match
11670s	to watch and a wonderful story behind
11672s	this team they're claiming one of their
11674s	first major victories in the calling all
11676s	Hero sing and we have with us Kindred
11679s	the Stellar tank player from the nyxl
11682s	academy team here with us today how
11684s	what's the vibe what's what's the feels
11687s	going on right now after such an
11688s	incredible win
11689s	feels good not to drop a single map in
11692s	playoffs that was my dream yeah and it
11695s	came true
11698s	he's easy enough I mean you know I
11701s	full disclosure again I was a little
11703s	biased you know we're friends I have a
11704s	lot of friends on your team so it feels
11706s	good to see you guys not drop a map and
11707s	play so strongly it feels good also to
11710s	see some of the noticeable improvements
11712s	to your team overall is that just
11714s	because we're in a meta where your
11716s	signature junker Queen is so very strong
11719s	or is it is there something else is
11721s	there something else that's uh you know
11723s	changed Something In The Water that's
11724s	made nyxl Academy so much stronger
11727s	uh I think the meta definitely fits us
11730s	like insane because we have players that
11732s	all have experience with this
11733s	composition and like with these
11734s	characters and also just picking up
11737s	Orion was a big help as long as us
11740s	getting a lot of practice on this patch
11742s	especially
11744s	uh it's been a lot of really good
11745s	screams too we've been really really
11747s	good practice and we use our time
11749s	efficiently
11753s	it is it is it is definitely wonderful
11755s	to see the turnaround the uh the changes
11757s	are very noticeable I you know I can I
11760s	can definitely tell like it's almost
11762s	like it's a new team but it's mostly the
11763s	same players bringing on Orion is you
11766s	know been a big help but like it's it
11768s	also just kind of looks more like you
11769s	guys are feeling yourself a little bit
11771s	more and that's awesome uh is there
11773s	anything that you do want to say to the
11774s	runners up for this tournament Rift
11776s	Guardians I know there were a couple
