371s yeah anything telling yourself
375s i'm not sure if i should be offended
377s that you don't consider
378s spending your days in a teeny little bus
380s in the parking lot with me
382s all right you got some water over here
384s and you know yeah nothing says party
386s like hydration yeah that's where i'm at
388s uh also nothing says party than good
390s overwatch sure we'll run with that
393s transition why not because in the wee
395s hours today our eastern region teams got
398s their kickoff clash started and in case
400s you forgot and because we absolutely
402s love showing them as much as our graphic
405s team actually likes creating the mala
407s check into the bracket uh to take a look
410s at how it looked like heading into these
412s early morning games
414s oh man we got those were some great
416s matches already on paper and i feel like
419s they did not disappoint so let's discuss
421s uh how uh the outcome of those uh went
424s first up the number four philadelphia
426s fusion took on the number one seed the
429s hangzhou spark nekra i mean after taking
432s the l against the spark just what was
434s that like a week ago if at all in
436s philadelphia yeah they made some changes
438s which clearly paid off as they took the
440s series three to one
443s yeah they absolutely did i think what's
446s really cool about both of these matches
447s is they is that they were uh rematches
450s from the last day of the kickoff clash
453s qualifiers last week so definitely hot
455s off the tails of some experience playing
458s up against the hong show spark and so we
460s kicked everything off here on illios uh
463s you know philadelphia fusion came back
464s ready to rumble and fusion kicked off
467s the series pretty strong with a wind and
469s despite the fact that the hangzhou spark
472s do have an 83 win rate against the
474s fusion on control so that really did set
477s them up for some success the next map
479s though of midtown uh that was the only
481s loss that philly actually took for the
483s series but i think it's because they got
485s a little too creative with their team
486s compositions a la apac region um they
489s did play a reinhardt comp which was a
491s clear departure of the dive that they
493s have looked so strong on all season um
496s but they did go back to the dive for the
498s rest of the series you can see a couple
500s of pop-off moments from the hong joo
502s spark as well so this was definitely a
504s tough fought map and a tough fought
506s series but as we went over to the final
510s map of new queen street where the fusion
513s were able to close it out it felt kind
514s of familiar because the spark and the
516s fusion were tied with the meterage that
519s they had from the push bot but
521s ultimately the fusion did come out on
523s top and will be moving forward in the
524s winner's bracket
528s yeah and i mean ready to
530s for an extra treat you know the
532s the the cream on the top of it all we
534s did get treated to some torvion play as
536s well yeah an ironic one too so it was uh
539s we got to see a 4k torp highlight from
543s alpha yi which i personally always enjoy
545s oh yeah absolutely no yeah
548s tobin is like it sounds sarcastic when
550s you're saved i generally enjoyed it okay
552s well it's very hard to say that you
554s genuinely just like love torben just
556s like yes fantastic pick i think that not
560s enough teams are in the league they
561s actually try out this torbjorn and the
563s hundreds of spark today um very good on
565s them for bringing out the torbjorn i'm
567s very proud of them really good job
569s there you go is that is that what you
571s wanted to hear well now now it sounded
572s sarcastic i genuinely that was the most
575s serious possibility
577s of this meta okay torbjorn is meta
580s everyone at home everything's matter if
581s you make it that's that's where i'm
584s coming from anyway
586s the second match of the day uh featured
588s the defending champions shanghai dragons
590s which took on the resurgent seoul
592s dynasty and so i mean they had a pretty
595s solid year thus far but it appears that
597s the dynasty are destined to dine on
600s defeat what a fantastic line thank you
603s hex for feeding that one
606s uh let's let's discuss this match uh
607s what went down
609s i mean
610s it was everything we wanted from the
612s soul dynasty and the shanghai dragons
613s another map five series from them it
616s feels like every time these these two
617s teams just square up yeah sometimes it
620s might be a three oh three one other
621s direction but really it's all the time
623s just a three two between these two teams
625s legendary teams in apac and they've been
626s for quite some time now um the shanghai
629s dragons of course they started out a
630s little bit rough so far this season but
632s since then they've just been lights out
634s who are you here on the genji it's been
636s one of the best genji's in the entire
638s apac region and this is what you've been
640s waiting for if you're who are you fan
641s well you've been waiting for like three
643s four years and finally it's it's time to
645s shine lyft as well an amazing hitscan
648s player over in the apac region so the
649s shanghai dragons they have all the
651s ingredients they've just had to figure
652s out how to adapt to the five versus five
655s formats obviously the tank line um faith
658s and void has been a huge key of their
660s success these last couple of years and
661s now you only have one of them seoul
662s dynasty on the other hand again you have
665s profit in there and profit has spent
667s lights out so far this season once more
669s um you got smurf force as a superstar
671s tank for this team as well so
673s these are just two very competitive
675s teams going head-to-head with each other
677s um map five i think we're
679s absolutely treated to an amazing match
681s here and i think moving forward in the
683s kickoff clash playoffs moving further to
685s the to the next couple of rounds i very
687s much think we could see seoul dynasty
689s going for a bit of a lower bracket run
690s and maybe we'll see seoul dynasty
692s against the shanghai dragons once more
694s in the kickoff clash finals because
696s that's really the level of play these
698s teams are playing at the meta has sort
699s of calmed down obviously shanghai
701s dragons they brought out some may here
703s as well some reinhardt on the control
704s center but generally they like to play
706s the the the winston compositions with
708s alphae or that's spark sorry who are you
711s and profit on the genji uh some tracer
713s sometimes and some soldiers so i airbag
716s has really calmed down i think a little
718s bit and now we're seeing like what are
719s the best teams and what are the teams
721s perhaps punching up words like hangzhou
723s and philly for example i mean i'm just
725s i'm just really glad to see the shanghai
726s dragons have found their footing because
729s quite frankly when the season just
730s started i mean apec was all over the
732s place to begin with which was i mean
733s what's news right but uh i i was
736s slightly worried that maybe this
737s rendition of the shanghai dragons is not
739s going to come out as strong as what we
741s were used to from that franchise all of
743s last season so it was great to see them
746s dominating once again against a
747s formidable opponent in the seoul dynasty
750s so can't wait to see how the eastern
752s region will shape up now uh of course we
755s understand that there is a lot of great
757s overwatch league action to consume and
759s with all those excellent matchups we
762s have in the west uh some players out
764s east may actually get kind of lost in
765s the mix so we'd like to introduce to
768s some of our new viewers some of our best
770s players in the apac region are apec
772s predators if you want so here is our
775s player spotlight first of all there is a
778s player on the dragons who might be
781s i'm just going to say the best damage
783s player in the league and no it's not
785s reigning mvp fleta it is his partner in
787s crime lip yeah i mean lip has been
790s fantastic so far this season and perhaps
792s a little bit forgotten among all the new
794s shiny toys like this this is my psa to
797s the award community i understand there's
800s so many fun new rookies in the league
802s you got zest you know the philadelphia
803s fusion alpha yi proper the san francisco
806s shock kilo i mean you name it potter fan
808s like everywhere just rookies fantastic
810s rookies everywhere but don't forget
813s don't forget that the heroes of the
815s overwatch league that has been here for
816s a couple years now and always provided
818s us some of the best gameplay ever lift
820s continues to be just a ridiculously good
822s hitscan player and where we're going to
824s kickstart those mvp conversations i know
826s some of you getting ahead of yourselves
827s all right and that's okay i'm not i'm
829s not complaining about that but when you
831s have those mvp conversations you need to
833s keep keep lip in mind because the
835s shanghai dragons they are still in the
837s lead team and lip is showing some some
839s of the best hits can play in the entire
841s league so if shanghai to be dominant
842s again this year okay don't forget about
845s lip in the mrp conversation okay it's
847s not all about proper and
849s i'll have you these new rookies okay
851s veterans
852s that's okay
853s but
854s honestly i just love the story for lip
856s uh heading into this very season because
858s quite frankly he was always kind of in
860s the shadows of his partner uh fleta and
863s now it's lips time to shine uh the rhyme
865s was not
866s intentional
869s wow i mean he is yeah i don't say that
873s why because it takes away from lip being
875s a star
876s anyway
878s anyway lip is an excellent player and a
880s known commodity and we all know that so
882s we won't forget about lip don't you
883s worry about that but there's been
885s another player with such great
886s performances uh that we're going to
889s double dip and shine a second spotlight
892s uh on someone who has burst into the
894s league scene with so much seal of course
897s i'm talking about zest even though you
899s wanted to talk about the veterans but
900s necro those rookies you gotta talk about
902s them too
904s oh you absolutely have to because
906s they're the new generation of players in
908s the overwatch league which will create
911s more stories as we continue to write
913s these chapters of the league but zest is
916s just one of those standout players for
917s the philadelphia fusion you know there's
919s a lot of rookies on this team and zest
921s ended up coming up alongside bellasriya
924s and mn3 from fusion's academy team t1
927s and so you can see how that path to pro
929s system has worked out for these
931s particular players to be able to move up
933s but it's also very obvious how the
935s pre-existing synergy has been able to
937s work in philly's favor with veloceria
939s kind of setting them up so that you
941s could see zest and mn3 knock them down
944s but you know i think that when you take
946s a look at zest in particular you can
948s look at his performance on genji in just
950s the series versus the hangzhou spark and
953s there was 12 000 over 12 000 damage for
956s the genji even though it was only played
958s for a map and a half but still a lot and
960s then you also had 28 eliminations and 14
962s final blows on just that hero alone
965s whether it's the genji or the tracer
966s you've got to keep your eyes on zest
971s absolutely i mean
972s we're we're being spoiled in this league
974s there's just so many good players uh but
977s yeah that is our spotlight on the apac
979s region and some players whose careers we
981s will definitely follow with great
983s interest moving forward now of great
985s interest to us is of course also
989s how are your brackets doing
990s uh you know are you ready yet to burn
993s them or brandish uh them as proof of
996s your superior intellect i guess well
999s we'll look at ours and defend or mock
1002s ourselves right after the break don't go
1004s anywhere
1010s [Music]
1020s [Music]
1041s [Music]
1072s so
1078s [Music]
1092s [Music]
1102s [Music]
1108s [Music]
1143s [Music]
1174s [Music]
1190s welcome back to the overwatch league are
1192s your brackets busted are they burning
1195s right now or are they the best i don't
1198s know we've got a little bit of a mix
1199s here at least on our desk so it's time
1202s to gloat
1203s and i guess cry a little i'll go first
1206s because i can because i'm the host and i
1208s can make executive decisions that's
1209s right so let's take a look at my pretty
1211s perfect actually at least pig wise
1213s bracket wow wow look at me go i mean
1216s yeah
1218s but the gist that just uh is alive i
1221s don't quite trust my bracket anymore
1223s though and that's solely based on match
1225s number one uh i think both the justice
1228s as well as the shock they misled me i
1230s feel i feel like i well you got chuck
1232s right right the three years ago yeah i
1235s did but still like okay shock they
1237s struggled way too much against the
1239s justice was that just day one jitters on
1241s stage maybe
1243s but it made me worried because i'm right
1245s or died with this team throughout my
1246s entire bracket but as of yesterday that
1248s ride has gotten some loose bolts and
1250s yeah now the whole ride feels a little
1252s shaky especially that this happened
1255s against the justice which if you're
1256s looking at my lower bracket um i had the
1258s justice going out first thing now i'm
1260s not so sure anymore yeah in fact after
1262s what they did yesterday but that's how
1263s they get you right that's how the
1265s justice gets 50. it's just like have
1266s that one day with happy and decay having
1268s a good performance and suddenly you'd
1269s want to believe again and and then they
1271s hurt you all over again
1273s it's a toxic relationship i have with
1274s that team at this one so uh yeah it's
1276s it's rough and i just now i i have i
1279s have a lot of trust issues of my own
1281s bracket at this point we made those
1282s brackets before the games yesterday mind
1285s you now reinforce uh i mean you don't
1287s have shock winning the whole thing uh
1289s but you're banking on a couple of teams
1292s that you think are being slept on
1294s absolutely yeah there are a couple of
1296s teams like the atlanta terrain for
1297s example i had them beating the florida
1299s mayhem i thought it'd be a three-two i
1301s thought it'd be even but
1303s yeah i think the atlanta rain as we see
1305s here in the upper bracket i got my four
1306s matches right so we got those four teams
1308s there already i think dallas fuel will
1310s make the finals eventually um beating
1312s the shock in the next match but if we
1313s think i'll get the losers bracket
1315s i'm just
1317s completely got off the rails i
1319s look i didn't think this bracket would
1321s be in broadcast i made this personally
1323s okay my own pick gimps okay so i didn't
1325s think to be a broadcast but i got
1326s justice i got atlanta going pretty far
1329s here because i don't have full faith in
1331s houston and toronto and i think that
1332s atlanta they're like a good land team
1334s like they're good stage team they're
1336s just like oh you know the energy they
1337s feed off the energy and they're just
1339s going to come up and they're going to do
1340s their thing and i think their star cups
1341s are pretty good washington i've just
1344s been run amok completely bamboozled here
1346s once more but
1348s i just i just can't help myself i'm just
1351s like well if you're asking me about mag
1353s versus someone in the winston head to
1354s head you've got decay and assassin
1356s you're playing the tracer matchups neck
1358s urban talking about happy as well like
1360s watching the justice they're a good team
1362s now i did have them beat the gladiators
1364s but we don't need to talk about that
1365s nekker what was your background what
1367s does your friend look like
1370s oh wait no actually sorry that crap i i
1372s completely forgot i i was supposed to
1374s talk about
1376s this oh well okay so my producer asked
1379s me to come clean here and i guess i have
1381s to just oblige about the washington
1382s justice we have to talk about this i'm
1384s sorry i tried to avoid it
1387s but
1387s but i can't i can't hide it there wasn't
1390s justice it bears repeating how good this
1393s team is on is on stage as well and why
1395s do i say that well because they know who
1397s they are okay they're not trying to be
1398s someone they're not and we're seeing
1400s some of these other teams on stage in
1402s the kick of clash still trying to figure
1403s out well what compositions do we want to
1405s run what play style do we want to do do
1407s we want to be aggressive we want to be
1408s passive they want you to injustice
1411s they just know how to play the game one
1413s way pretty much and they know how to put
1415s happy and winning situations on the hit
1417s scan
1418s we're not going to see them change up
1420s anything drastically and having that
1422s comfort of playing having a comfort of
1424s like these are the comfortable run this
1425s is the play style this is how we play
1427s with mag who likes to be you know
1430s controlling off his space we're just
1432s going to play around mag we're going to
1433s play around the tank because we have
1434s complete faith in that and being able to
1437s lean back and rely on those
1439s circumstances on that play it can be
1442s very good for uh the consistency of your
1444s play whereas so if you're on a stage and
1446s you're like well we're supposed to go
1447s aggressive proactive here and then fall
1449s back and like you you make all these um
1451s these errors these unforced errors
1453s whereas the washington justice i think
1455s they're consistent reliable team on lan
1457s they just do their thing and teams do
1459s mistakes into them
1461s right and it works
1462s hopefully
1464s that was a lot of fun
1468s what you wanted to talk about with your
1470s brackets uh you know what i think the
1472s only thing i heard when we asked you was
1474s a deep scythe
1475s did you figure it out now yeah uh
1478s no no not really i i honestly thought we
1480s were gonna blow past this because like
1482s reinforce asked and then went back to
1484s talk about the justice so i was like i
1486s am saved uh but i'm not so here's my
1490s bracket my brackets boomed absolutely
1493s trashed i want to set it on fire and a
1495s dumpster out back um
1498s it's not the houston's fault it's it's
1500s not the gladiator's fault it's entirely
1502s my fault for confirm uh you know trying
1505s to play too much into the bit yesterday
1507s i felt like i had to back it up in my
1508s bracket too uh because i knew this was
1510s going to be seen on broadcast um so yeah
1512s at least so you can see here that i did
1515s pred the los angeles gladiators to make
1517s it uh you know all the way at least to
1521s um
1522s to the losers finals versus the shock or
1525s something like that um but yeah
1528s essentially um
1530s yeah i see i i'm just
1532s [Music]
1533s yeah it's it's in shambles right now
1539s oh it's it's got push it's wow
1543s i love that there's still hope we don't
1546s know what's happening today no no like
1548s teams have surprised us
1552s exactly yeah yeah don't worry yet don't
1555s set it on fire just yet like keep keep
1557s the bits and pieces you have right now
1559s just boom they haven't even started yet
1561s i didn't mean to do that in the beat
1563s already
1564s well anyway those are our brackets and
1567s depending on how today goes maybe we'll
1569s show them again tomorrow
1571s maybe not though because it just hurts
1573s to see how long we can get now i will
1575s see we're just minutes away now from the
1577s start of the atlanta rain versus san
1579s francisco shock though and we want to
1581s find out if the rising phoenix can take
1583s down the star wars shock we'll get into
1585s that match right after this short break
1587s don't go anywhere
1589s [Music]
1603s [Music]
1606s so

1762s [Music]
1773s welcome back one and all our first match
1775s in the upper bracket will be fought out
1776s between the san francisco shock and the
1778s atlanta reign and now heading into this
1781s tournament i mean we we struggled we
1784s really struggled to find a crack in the
1786s armor that shock is wearing they looked
1788s so spiffy clean yet in their first match
1791s in the kick of clash uh
1793s well i i dare say that much made quite a
1795s few fans very nervous now obviously the
1798s shock they did bounce back but their map
1801s losses were confusing for those used to
1803s the brand of shock overwatch that we've
1805s seen over the years now uh
1808s that brand is basically an aggression
1809s they're they're aggressive they're
1811s confident and even though they rocked
1813s into this season with a with a roster
1815s filled with rookies they kept that
1817s confidence they kept the aggression up
1818s and yesterday when they were struggling
1821s it was because they were playing slower
1823s and we couldn't really make sense of
1825s that because that's not the shock we
1826s know those are not the players we know
1827s and
1828s backing off after losing just one player
1831s early in a fight
1832s that is very unlike them and i feel like
1835s that did cost them a lot of engagement
1837s where it was just very
1840s very off-brand at their say so yeah they
1843s gained the confidence back they they
1845s they managed to somehow control the
1847s tempo again later in the game but
1851s you know that was that was probably a
1853s lot of that was on on the back of proper
1855s coming back into form or warming up like
1858s i don't know what was going on but
1860s he was the one who ended up kind of
1862s carrying them
1864s towards the latest stages back into the
1866s game because he was just not willing to
1867s lose
1868s he's like no no this cannot happen this
1871s could not happen against justice most of
1873s all so he put his carry pants on on his
1875s tracer and showed us an insane
1877s performance with a 52 pulse bomb stick
1880s rate like he was he was on his game but
1882s i still cannot make sense
1885s uh of what happened
1887s because going up against the washington
1889s justice out of all the teams like you
1891s would not have thoughts that the shop
1892s will hold back so i gonna just gonna
1894s brush this off into like first aid
1897s jitters on a stage i don't know what it
1899s was but i mean those numbers even though
1902s it was a rough first half of the game
1903s they speak for themselves like he still
1905s stepped it up and improper i can trust
1908s so he's uh he's the player for me to
1910s watch out uh for in the upcoming
1913s matchups now on the other side of this
1915s very matchup against the atlanta reign
1917s we do have a player who can
1918s also just absolutely take over a map and
1921s we of course are talking about that kai
1923s guy necro
1926s yeah we are definitely talking about kai
1928s and we have to especially in his
1931s performance versus the florida mayhem
1932s yesterday kai's widowmaker was such a
1935s big standout it put on so much pressure
1937s that florida mayhem had to invest a ton
1939s of resources and a ton of time in order
1942s to keep kai
1944s from just absolutely wrecking the team
1946s even in the very final moments of
1948s gibraltar someone ended up paying so
1951s much attention to kai that they kind of
1953s forgot that there was a payload that
1955s they needed to go after so you know if
1957s that doesn't speak volumes about kai's
1960s presence in the overwatch league
1962s especially with his legacy of being a
1965s sharpshooter player and how that could
1967s play an important role against
1969s the
1970s san francisco shock today
1972s i don't know what will i mean overall
1975s kai had 22 final blows to nine deaths on
1979s gibraltar for the widowmaker and so not
1982s only did that particular performance
1984s warm him up to ramp up to play the
1987s soldier 76 for the rest of the series
1989s yesterday but it really backs up kai's
1991s confidence in his post-match interview
1993s and makes him a huge huge threat so san
1996s francisco's gotta watch out for him
2001s absolutely i mean if you if you're
2003s playing widow and you turn into monkey
2005s bait you did it for your team
2007s that's really it it's not that's all
2008s yeah all right jonathan it may be morbid
2010s time in texas thanks stop danny stop
2013s well that's something time to stop
2016s with the morbid
2021s i mean at this point i'm too afraid to
2022s ask myself it needs to stop
2025s get kai's face off here he doesn't
2027s deserve what the kids say jonathan we're
2030s rolling with it that's right
2033s i mean here it's tanking time right
2035s should we make that one thing i don't
2037s know transition transition something you
2038s want to talk about hawks anything but
2040s more morbid yeah well wait it's talking
2043s all right anyway pork
2046s good player uh for the atlanta rain uh
2049s i'm being serious here by the way
2050s atlanta rain um they even mentioned in a
2053s couple uh
2055s interviews uh yesterday that they are
2057s very comfortable on the star composition
2059s i believe it was emerald uh fantastic
2061s writer with the awards league on the com
2063s website that asked about the star
2064s composition and they said they were very
2065s comfortable on this zarya they just
2067s haven't had the chance to like bring it
2068s out they're like london why are you
2069s bringing out like the rhino comes to the
2071s gladiators with the rhinoceros like we
2073s will wanna play zarya come on and so
2075s they finally got to show it a little bit
2077s yesterday hawk um he was fantastic on
2079s the sorry and we know we know this is
2081s very much um
2083s capable of playing the zarya so now you
2085s get the opportunity to play in some
2087s other winston compositions and this is
2089s where in the past we've seen winston
2092s composition struggle against zarya's
2094s because
2096s winston is such a volatile kind of
2097s composition you don't you only have that
2100s one winston bubble right that's the
2101s protection for your team um and so you
2104s need to be clinical if you're the san
2105s francisco shock and go up against hawk
2106s you can see the stats for yourselves
2108s eight point five final blows for 10
2109s minutes 42
2111s average energy 3.9 graviton certain
2113s kills pretend i mean this guy when he
2115s plays this zarya against teams likes
2116s before the mayhem he gets the job done
2118s at a very high level so going up against
2121s the san francisco show today i would
2122s even warn a little bit for upset alert
2124s here because i think that atlanta's
2126s compositions if they commit to these
2128s sorrios might be something that shock
2130s struggles with
2132s the san francisco shock they need to
2134s execute on a perfect level to avoid
2136s getting completely dominated by hulk
2138s story here today
2140s yeah i completely agree actually about
2142s the upset potential here because if
2143s we're just taking into account what we
2145s saw from both of those teams yesterday
2147s this is a winnable matchup for atlanta
2149s rain as well so uh we'll see how things
2151s go now it is time to reveal our picks
2154s for the matches today and i can't wait
2156s to see where everyone is going with this
2159s it's been a wild ride yesterday already
2160s lots of uh differences in opinions so
2164s let's keep those up see what's at stake
2166s no surprises in the first one are we
2168s really that boring what kosta
2175s [Laughter]
2181s who can defend themselves yeah no that's
2183s a tough one audience defend yourself
2185s with the houston pig come on what's
2187s going on here i actually do think i do
2189s think i really want to double down on
2191s the atlanta reign could upset the shock
2193s here because we've seen how much
2195s compositions matter in the past in
2196s atlanta if they come out firing on all
2198s cylinders like kind of the width
2199s widowmaker or hawk on the zarya today
2201s and showcase some like stage nerfs about
2203s their executes with winston
2205s they could be caught of course i'm
2207s serious that's the picture
2209s not serious enough to put it in your
2211s pickings but just serious enough to
2213s cover your you're behind a little bit on
2215s the show so you can refer back clip this
2218s one's like well i'm kind of talking i'm
2219s giving atlanta found some hope okay oh
2221s we love that we want to give another fan
2223s some credit okay yeah and um and on this
2225s note we're gonna end our pre-show thank
2227s you both so much for joining me for the
2229s chats and that's it from us four great
2232s matches are ahead of us in day number
2234s two of the kick of clash which will
2236s start right now
2241s [Music]
2254s [Music]
2267s there's the smile that i wanted to see
2269s forget map number one
2270s on the court in my range shoot a shot in
2273s this drain hit the left and then change
2275s the looking lightning this strange on
2277s the court in my range shoot a shot in
2279s this drain hit the left and then change
2281s they looking like this strange
2295s and shut down just as quickly
2297s with the
2297s [Music]
2311s but it's them at the end wearing the
2312s crown incredible comeback
2325s day two of the kickoff clash is here
2328s finally
2329s there's been
2330s a couple of spicy games over the last
2332s day or so but today is where we see the
2334s real meat and potatoes we're seeing
2336s teams eliminated today scott
2338s we've seen the upper seeds face the
2340s lower seeds but now we're in the
2342s winner's bracket we're watching the top
2344s seeds face off against each other we've
2346s got some banger of games happening today
2349s i'm feeling a little different today
2352s don't think i like this i don't know i
2354s don't know we'll see how this goes a
2355s little bit later on yeah we've got some
2356s bangers coming up atlanta terrain versus
2358s the shock
2359s shock number one seed surprise surprise
2361s they won their first game yeah a little
2363s shaky though having to finish a reverse
2366s sweep yesterday they he did have some
2368s moments but some excellence from proper
2370s and the rest of the shock team got them
2372s over the edge but the atlanta reign a
2374s team that a lot of us were thinking were
2375s struggling might not do so well in the
2377s kickoff clash had a pretty good match
2379s yesterday yeah and a lot of these
2381s players were talking about it earlier on
2383s today score just back in the green room
2384s that some of these players haven't
2386s really played in a land environment
2387s before and they show up like this you're
2389s like wow okay
2391s where have we been all this time like
2393s proper is just demolishing on honest
2395s whoa i was gonna say tracer but every
2397s single pick that he's playing right now
2398s you could list every hero at this point
2400s every dps hero at least maybe we'll see
2401s him on the tank one of these days
2403s hopefully not but yes that's it the
2406s rookies have been exceptional so far for
2408s the san francisco shock slow start
2410s yesterday let's hope they don't do the
2411s same thing today yeah well the atlanta
2413s reign are their opponents i think we
2415s best bring them on the stage don't you
2417s please put your hands together for the
2419s atlanta reign
2421s [Applause]
2434s first out on the stage scott
2437s we see the sharp shooter himself we got
2440s young kai
2441s his widowmaker has been heating up it's
2444s been absolutely incredible me and you
2446s were actually talking about it yesterday
2448s like does kai still have it is he going
2449s to be at that same level of widowmaker
2451s he put all of our doubts to rest
2453s yesterday absolutely dominating on
2455s watchpoint gibraltar but also i want to
2457s talk about gator and venom that's a big
2459s indicator of what they're going to play
2461s at the beginning in first map
2464s it's going to be interesting because
2465s gators winston has been i guess tested
2468s and questioned venom tracer has been
2469s exceptional but the dive has actually
2471s been looking good for the atlanta reign
2472s one of the better compositions we've
2474s seen from them so far this season yeah
2476s it's kind of insane you look at the
2477s atlanta rain and how they actually got
2478s here they're using mainly hawk it's like
2480s a gator in the back pocket the entire
2483s time and ideally that's how you want to
2485s well play the i guess the overall meta
2488s game of the overwatch league right you
2489s have two tank players on your roster why
2491s not use one just a little bit and then
2493s when you get to a tournament setting
2494s you've practiced tomorrow gator and have
2496s him come out and surprise a couple of
2498s people their opponent of course today
2500s number one seed coming into the kickoff
2503s clash is the san francisco shock
2507s [Applause]
2513s [Music]
2515s [Applause]
2517s i mean we spoke about proper already
2520s but that ginormous man in the center a
2523s hulking monster in colluge he's been
2526s looking rather spicy too the eight foot
2528s seven gaming warlord being able to show
2531s his flexibility on multiple different
2533s heroes he plays the do fizzy plays at
2534s winston honestly anything that they've
2536s needed from him he has been able to
2538s produce on and that has really enabled
2540s everyone else to show their own
2542s flexibility as well
2543s most importantly for me they have kilo
2545s starting in the roster yesterday when
2547s sam was coming in they wanted to play
2549s that reaper but kilo makes me think
2551s they're going to stick to that soldier
2552s in this first map yeah killers
2554s aim and just tracking is
2557s unbelievable like we were watching a few
2560s other games through their scrims before
2561s the season started and that was just
2564s [Music]
2565s just watching him track people through
2567s the air on soldier it's like an actual
2569s robot doing the lord's work and you can
2572s see why they picked him up the san
2573s francisco shock have had such a massive
2575s roster change coming into this season
2577s but they're performing like you'd expect
2579s shock last year to perform yeah they
2582s underperformed in expectations of last
2584s year but this new roster they overhauled
2586s everything 83 of their team are rookies
2589s and they've been performing at the
2590s highest level some people they were
2593s wondering is there going to be growing
2594s pains are they not going to perform but
2596s they went undefeated they are still
2598s undefeated in the kickoff clash
2600s absolutely ridiculous but they're going
2602s up against the atlanta reign and you can
2603s see them here we talked about their
2604s lineup the san francisco shock know what
2606s they're going up against there's going
2608s to be likely a winston mirror is the san
2611s francisco shot comfortable in that you
2613s would expect so they haven't really
2614s stumbled against many teams so far
2616s against that composition atlanta rain
2618s they're going to have to step up if
2619s they're going to beat the shock
2621s they're going to need to i think a lot
2622s of doubts cast over they're allowed to
2624s reign now they've been performing i mean
2626s hawk has been fantastic seeing zarya
2628s play a little bit of doom here and there
2630s but only seeing
2632s portions
2633s of gators play has been
2636s surprising i think for a lot of teams
2639s coming in not expecting to see gator
2640s this often but like i said sometimes
2642s surprises are good
2644s eliot's is the map to start us off it's
2645s atlanta falling on that doomfist sword
2648s they came in early in the season
2649s thinking that that doomfist meta was
2651s going to be the thing that was going to
2652s be dominant but as we saw the season
2655s progress as the meta
2656s diversified doomfist started falling out
2658s we saw the houston outlaws struggle with
2660s that yesterday so elena rayne have done
2662s that late adaptation gator may be
2664s proving his own doomfist we've seen it
2666s from a little bit from collusion as well
2667s so it might come out in portions but i'm
2669s expecting them to primarily stay on the
2671s winston
2673s yeah science would definitely point that
2674s way that is for sure
2677s see what the rookie battle like the
2678s islands are ranked to another couple of
2679s players that have surprised a lot of
2681s people well maybe not everybody
2683s but
2684s some people oh gee ultra violet their
2687s anna lucio play has been spectacular of
2689s course they played together before so it
2690s kind of makes sense they're just so
2692s in sync
2694s we're going to see them rolling out on
2696s the mirror compositions you're going to
2697s see them assume the position on the high
2699s ground with both of those soldiers you
2700s need to keep an eye on the engagement of
2702s the winstons and the antibiotic notes
2704s those are the things that are going to
2706s make the big plays
2710s it's fighting over cage control right
2711s now finn used uh nade defensively and
2714s now propper's just trying to josh around
2716s uh josh jostle around first game of the
2718s day uh around that mega health back
2720s you're allowed to reign get hit with
2721s that
2722s three people kai gator and og hit with
2725s anti from finn from afar finn does die
2728s but cleaning up gator for the san
2730s francisco shock here is not the worst
2732s there's a lot less space control for the
2733s atlanta reign now the point has been
2735s unlocked now shock moving in trying to
2738s make their approach still pretty low oh
2739s brother
2741s he's slipped over the edge he's good
2742s he's got regal thankfully that doesn't
2743s mean the atlanta right end up claiming
2745s it we talked about the backline of the
2747s atlanta reign and ultraviolet but finn
2748s opening up that round with an enormous
2751s three-person biotic nade but san
2753s francisco shock unable to capitalize
2755s elena reign taking that positioning back
2757s and getting that first cap so now we
2758s need to start looking at the nano boost
2760s look at the advantage for finn right now
2762s at 80 percent they're going to use that
2764s as an engagement on collusion but
2765s another big biotic name from ultraviolet
2767s onto the back line and colluge
2769s you know something got a hint of the
2770s shot clue she's going to go in post bomb
2772s throw down
2775s no one steps on it so no kills just yet
2777s we've seen some crazy pulse bombs
2778s whipping they're still getting kills
2780s kalush goes in with a nano boost but
2782s gets slept nice kill by kilo venom was
2784s trying to run back to san francisco
2786s shock some mega health back but got
2788s caught off guard the shock now with the
2790s pogba to gator are going to be able to
2792s find the flip that's reign 40 or 39 not
2794s bad
2795s enough and i'm getting caught off there
2797s by killer not expecting that soldier to
2799s be there gets hit by that direct from
2801s the rocket colluge as much as he doesn't
2803s get value from that nano boost able to
2805s create that space for the rest of the
2806s san francisco shock team and now atlanta
2808s rain the shoe is on the other foot they
2810s have the nano boost are they going to
2811s use it on gator to engage or kai for the
2813s nano visor it looks like kai look away
2815s old treville is following it there is
2817s the vise no bubble for collusion he's
2820s finished up by venom oh violet he's
2823s trying to move him back but he just ends
2824s up running into him
2826s the damage boost from the nano is just
2829s so enormous the atlanta rain they end up
2832s flipping the point back
2834s by let's be coming in just that a little
2835s bit too late to save the san francisco
2838s shot kilo double downs with that as well
2840s uses the visor so the shock are starting
2842s to lose a lot of their grasp on this
2843s round atlanta rain already at 50 percent
2847s and that it's counting real fast the
2848s land is coming up some big ultimates as
2850s well gator with that primal rage and
2851s collusion slept again nice sleep again
2854s from ultraviolet he's going to be able
2855s to survive he has the primal rage so
2857s even if you did go like and pop it might
2859s be a good idea to do it now yeah
2861s separate the back line from the front
2862s venom ends up falling to kilo once more
2864s he really hasn't locked down at this
2865s point primer raging on the actual point
2869s oh gee gets chased away and the san
2871s francisco shock try and resume control
2874s there's a little bit of dancing around
2875s the bubble there from ultraviolet ends
2876s up backing up the mega health pack and
2878s surviving but
2879s him just in that jewel just takes them
2881s out of the fight completely and they're
2882s allowed to reign forgo the point
2885s venom needs to find a way to stay alive
2887s he is getting picked first for the
2888s atlanta reign and once you lose that
2890s tracy you lose so much control over the
2892s map the back line at san francisco shock
2894s is able to move around freely so venom
2896s needs to be careful he just needs to
2897s stay alive just keep that threat active
2899s proper with pulse bomb
2902s staring at ultraviolet went for clues to
2904s go in again distraction kilo once again
2906s yeah taking care of venom now it is a
2909s 4v5 the alan terrain looks like they
2911s want to back off yeah they're not
2913s pressing hard of the engagement they
2914s don't really have the ulcer to back them
2915s up even if they wanted to go in now
2917s they're boosting ten percent proper able
2918s to hold on to that pulse bomb as well
2920s that could put the nail in the coffin
2921s for the atlanta rain ultraviolet coming
2923s up to that nano visor again alongside
2925s kai it looks like they're waiting for it
2927s properly can start this fight off with a
2929s bag okay he's going to jump on to the
2931s point speaking of banks collusion takes
2933s a hefty amount of damage from venom
2934s spokeswoman doesn't end up finding the
2936s kill when finn just gets a lot of vault
2937s charge from that proper small spot a
2938s little bit wide but the beat is going to
2940s come through to try and make this last
2941s fight for san francisco shock kilo still
2944s pumping out damage kai and ogi are now
2946s dead it is 90 for the san francisco
2948s shock and they still got a visor at
2950s their backs kilo trying to run gated
2952s down he had the nano boost for a brief
2954s moment there scott but that was about it
2956s a force recall on to venom but they
2960s still need to touch the point the san
2962s francisco shock are just holding this
2963s one down venom's just had the worst time
2965s on tracer he can't get anything done
2967s kilo staying alive in his healing
2968s station finds another kill up to kai the
2970s um terrain put themselves on point using
2972s that beat but the shock are going to be
2973s happy with that collusion coming back
2975s with the primal rage takes care of
2976s ultraviolet and now he's only two versus
2978s four on the point the shocks still have
2980s control and the rain need to find a
2982s miracle to come back proper with the
2984s melee onto og and gator getting finished
2986s off it is now the stragglers on the
2989s point but the shock have this one
2992s first round going to san francisco
2996s stay alive on that point running away
2997s with his tail between his legs on 14
2999s health able to re-engage and put out
3001s that damage against the atlanta reign
3003s but the story of that round is once
3005s again venom on that tracer we know he's
3008s an incredible rookie he is a tracer
3009s specialist he needs to have more impact
3012s he's going up against so far the mvp
3014s candidate of proper i understand that's
3017s a difficult task but that doesn't mean
3019s he just needs to do more and he needs to
3021s watch out for the sight lines of kilo
3022s kilo punished him three times in that
3025s round
3033s there's a short
3034s little window there where you can't
3036s shoot any shots off and kilo managed to
3037s finish him in that small window all
3039s right gates have open
3041s same kind of comps let's go we're going
3042s to have the mirror again people are
3044s going to start taking this windmill try
3046s and hold on to this control because if
3048s you can hold this you have that high
3049s ground you have the freedom to be able
3051s to have those long sidelines
3052s close boot from violet almost pushing
3055s kai into the drink but there you can see
3057s the difference of the atlanta rain
3058s they've taken this cage room and they've
3060s got the first pick on kilo yeah big move
3062s on tequila i wonder if we went in the
3063s pit or off the map not entirely sure but
3066s trying to go for the 1v1
3068s of course violent not traditionally
3069s alone as a lucio player as many people
3071s have pointed out double flex support
3072s from the san francisco shock but is
3074s lucio has been improving over the last
3076s few months that's it we saw it last year
3078s in 2021 and we weren't happy with it it
3080s wasn't having that level of impact he's
3082s obviously improved on it this season so
3084s far gator taking a sleep getting purple
3086s but managing
3088s not quite to disengage
3089s once again coming up in the kill feed
3091s like he is permanently finishing people
3093s off like there's no way the atlanta rain
3095s can run around them oh speaking about
3096s running around probably with the pulse
3098s bomb said ultraviolet though
3101s didn't quite land did that yeah they
3102s went to rain ended up cleaning the fight
3103s up that was a stick maybe would have got
3106s value but uh the the atlanta reign to
3108s take that as a go sign san francisco
3110s shot getting a little ambitious after
3111s getting that pick onto gator moving
3113s forward but it just wasn't enough so now
3115s we're starting to see the ultimate
3117s cycles coming up we have venom with that
3119s pulse bomb we said he needed to step up
3120s coming into this round this is the time
3122s to do it needs to come back
3126s quite big oh yeah little melon doesn't
3128s do all too much still waiting for the
3129s honor to reveal herself
3132s oh oh
3133s my god
3135s collusion finn did not expect that venom
3138s he's back on the scoreboard with a nice
3140s little post and the finish on to kilo
3144s 60 for the rain and building san
3145s francisco shock not had in here in this
3147s game og with an insane rejection kaloush
3151s goes in og says no into the pity goes
3154s and that's a big swing of this round we
3156s already have atlanta rain at 70 last
3158s fight territory if they win this round
3160s and shock don't have the nano they also
3162s don't even have the visor the primal
3164s they haven't even been able to generate
3165s their old so far in this round could be
3167s quite a big nade no falls a little bit
3169s short ultraviolet just waiting to apply
3171s that nano to kai there it is nano visor
3173s luckily there's a lot of terrain you can
3175s run behind if it's san francisco shock
3176s but kai has legs and he can run and he's
3179s running all over the shock a sound
3181s barrier from oh gee i mean it's the end
3184s of the round the shot need to be able to
3185s touch proper has the pulse
3187s if he gets maybe ultra violet they could
3190s end up turning this but it's looking
3191s rather unlikely kalouge popping the
3193s primal race to get back to the point in
3194s time proper sends out the pulse and goes
3196s wide ot ticket through violet with the
3198s sound barrier does hit three but they're
3200s going to need a miracle to come back
3202s venom running back to his supports to
3203s get a little bit of healing as he feels
3205s ever so close to that pulse bomb he's
3207s got it online and now we need to target
3209s he finds it straight in the back venom
3210s just needed a little bit of a warm up
3212s and the atlanta rain they're going to
3214s take well vine is the only thing
3216s standing in their way
3218s and they tie helios up
3221s shake up those notes in the first round
3222s venom looking a lot nicer the entire
3224s atlanta reign team looking a lot nicer
3226s playing incredibly clean san francisco
3229s shot just getting almost no purchase in
3231s the entire round being not able to get
3233s any damage the only time they're able to
3235s use their ultimates when the round was
3236s almost over so it's just desperation at
3238s that point zero value across the board
3241s we move on to ruins this is really the
3243s map where you see the most diversity on
3245s elios are either the players going to
3246s pick up the widow we see kilo on the ash
3248s right now kai on the reaper i would not
3251s be surprised to see atlanta rain walk
3252s out on this composition with the moira
3254s of ultraviolet they're just going to run
3256s into the face of the san francisco shock
3259s they know they want to play the hit scan
3260s with kilo in the lineup if you give them
3262s no space killer will get no value
3266s it's just playing up in the face i mean
3267s that's what doom is good at and best
3269s that right just playing right up into
3270s your face making sure you don't get any
3272s of that space like you said
3274s tequila just sits far back the dynamites
3276s can be so devastating especially to
3278s heroes like tracer you have to hear that
3280s recall if you get dynamite you can't get
3281s healed
3282s can be rather frustrating atlanta is
3284s trying to get that positioning they're
3285s trying to get as close as possible to
3287s the shock and wait for that go moment
3289s but they're trying to avoid as much
3290s damage from kilo they're going i'm
3292s interested to see if they're just gonna
3293s wait for the cat force the san francisco
3295s shock to come into them
3297s san francisco shots gonna give off the
3299s point at the very beginning so now the
3300s atlanta reign they're not forced to go
3302s and do anything they can just hold on to
3304s this positioning but gator gets left in
3305s the middle of the open wow oh nice sleep
3308s followed up by colluge however that
3310s space denied kilo had kai teleporting
3313s right onto his face in fact kai is still
3315s doing work in the back
3317s phillips have just fallen no bullet he
3319s is just uh just running gun
3321s collusion at least finding a couple of
3322s kills but ideally you need to get out or
3324s uh you know turn the fight because
3325s atlanta reigns have the point still in
3327s 25 percent and billing
3329s and the only ultimate
3330s the shock have or say say the only
3332s ultimate violet actually has the beat
3333s coming into the next fight but it got
3334s pulsed too a little aggressive by
3336s colluge there atlanta reigns lost
3337s ultraviolet they didn't have the healing
3338s to close out that fight but colluge that
3341s misstep gets punished on the point and
3342s then the shock have to disengage they're
3344s engaging with the beat from
3346s the guy interrupted
3348s be denied by the atlanta reign
3349s pretending well by gator punching him
3351s into the wall and i stick by venom he
3353s has come online over the last couple of
3355s maps number one a little bit a little
3357s bit cold they're feeling good the
3358s atlanta reign on 50 denying that b is
3361s massive
3362s enormous ultraviolet is holding on to
3364s that coalescence as well so expect this
3365s aggression coming in from the atlanta
3367s rain as soon as the shocks step up as
3369s soon as they see kilo i expect that's
3371s going to be the go moment
3373s while proper still has that pulse bob
3375s ultra violet has so many disengaged
3377s tools though doesn't want to pop the
3378s coal and then get post of course that'll
3380s be uh the worst possible scenario for
3382s the atlanta rain there's the coalescence
3384s kalu's propping the primal rage no one's
3386s going to die instantly
3387s okay all right okay guy gets focused
3389s down by the way with a little bit of a
3390s oh
3392s well did he get post but he got pushed
3393s off the map okay
3396s the shock mean business gator is somehow
3398s that far up in the sky see felicia is
3400s gonna
3401s have a good trip
3402s i assume he's going back to spawn
3404s probably going to switch over to that
3406s doomfist so he can have more of that
3407s impact so far struggling in the map to
3409s play the winston yep just too much
3411s damage there's the switch right there
3412s coming in from kaluj so this makes me
3414s think that colluge isn't happy with how
3416s much damage he's taking when he tries to
3417s go aggressive against this moira unable
3419s to get any value so now he can play more
3421s aggressive give more space to kilo on
3423s the soldier oh nice kill venom did not
3425s see collusion behind him still does a
3427s fair amount of damage just the primary
3429s fire of the doomfist there's the death
3431s blossom from kai both supports from the
3433s shot can now have fallen the atlanta
3435s reign are on 84 scott if they blip right
3438s now
3439s the shock are in trouble they're going
3440s to make this last bike territory kilo
3442s with the visor no nano to back him up
3444s but rob's got the pulse bomb once more
3445s venom's just been so much better at
3447s landing these pulse these sticks than
3449s proper has over the last couple of maps
3451s and they're gonna need a kilo has that
3453s visor venom has to hunt him down i would
3454s like to see some aggression from gator
3456s as well give the team space and he has
3458s the meteor strike to get out proper
3459s trying to find a target rate form
3460s already blown by kais that could be one
3462s he's after but kilo with just the normal
3465s tactical visor still fighting valley og
3467s just jumps straight into it proper
3469s holding on to the pulse bomb with his
3470s life doesn't want to blow just yet
3472s forcing the fades good ultraviolet now
3474s can be hunted down by proper so little
3476s defensive tools are there a nice dodge
3478s though from ultraviolet he stays alive
3480s the coalescences have now been popped
3481s and this is the time for the atlanta
3482s rain to turn this fight around over time
3484s is ticking down the water just focuses
3486s down violence and he whiffs the beat
3488s again
3489s the atlanta reign of tonight two sound
3491s barriers to san francisco shock and they
3493s take map number one
3495s we've talked about on world violet has
3497s been impressing us on the lucio so far
3499s this season
3500s that's a bad round to be a lucio player
3503s double ajax and around and the chat the
3505s atlanta reign is letting him know about
3507s it there's there's a couple of lols in
3509s chat a couple of ajax's
3512s atlanta rain take the first map san
3513s francisco shock a little bit shell
3515s shocked at the beginning once again
3517s how would that have looked if both those
3519s sambaris actually landed i'm not
3521s entirely sure and i'm thinking shock
3523s don't want to get in your head about it
3524s it's only map number one they can come
3526s back for the atlanta rain off to an
3528s amazing start
3530s we're gonna jump to a break map number
3531s two up soon
3536s [Music]
3545s [Music]
3555s so
3559s [Music]
3576s [Music]
3585s [Music]
3606s do
3613s [Music]
3620s [Music]
3646s um
3647s [Music]
3666s [Music]
3678s me
3680s [Music]
3697s [Music]
3706s [Music]
3734s [Music]
3741s [Music]
3753s two shots dead on the ground we're in
3755s the same pull up three rounds bro you
3757s done we let a rain head pop so look out
3760s when we in the zone don't play around i
3762s got a strap put your back tell you now
3764s we laying it down yeah bow bands up
3771s [Music]
3780s you
3783s [Music]
3792s alliance rain looking a little bit cold
3794s to start off the day but
3798s maps uh well rounds two and three
3800s they're on control um
3803s yeah they ended up working out
3804s yeah elena rayne making it work but the
3807s san francisco shock you can never you
3809s can never count them out jack because
3811s they've been through so many reverse
3812s sweeps they seem to always be starting
3814s slow so if you're the atlanta reign you
3816s need to stay focused you need to commit
3818s keep finding that value i want to talk
3820s about violet a little bit though
3822s 1.8
3823s sound barrier efficiency and the league
3826s average is about four that should just
3827s show you how much he struggled so far in
3830s this match violet he needs to be a core
3833s piece of this shock team he needs to
3834s turn it around violet lucio
3837s og lucio right now it's about that it's
3839s about that that much is the difference
3841s in the lucio's right now
3843s so we're heading over to king's row jack
3846s we uh got a couple of substitutions
3848s we've got venom stepping back nero
3850s coming in
3851s also we have hawk so gator
3853s coming back and hawk stepping in so it's
3855s going to be zarya it's going to be more
3857s off tanks more than anything else and
3859s what's been great about uh
3861s especially venom in that very start like
3862s yeah he was kind of messing up kilo had
3864s his number but then he just ramped up on
3867s the on the tracer but
3869s the atlanta reign as a whole they have
3871s such a deep pool of uh heroes they could
3873s pull from for dps because nero is
3876s unbelievably flexible and that's it the
3879s nero offers so much this atlanta rain
3880s team on the side of venom so what we're
3883s going to have hawk and nero coming in
3884s we've seen this look from them yesterday
3887s they're going to play that zaya reaper
3888s style trying to play that mid-ground
3891s exactly like the dallas fuel like to
3892s play while for the san francisco shock
3895s sam comes in he has been coming in as
3897s the reaper specialist he tweeted
3898s yesterday
3900s reaper one trick at this point so i
3902s expect to see that reaper mirror coming
3904s from both but the major difference in
3906s this map is going to be potentially hawk
3908s zaya versus the colluge winston because
3911s we have not seen the san francisco shock
3913s commit to desire this entire season
3916s maybe now is the chance we see that
3919s right i mean i think a lot of people
3920s well okay maybe not who's now us jake so
3923s we need to work with you buddy i gotta
3925s talk to him still you know he lied to me
3927s gotta give him maybe an iron child in
3928s the corridor we'll see
3929s yeah maybe this is the time to kind of
3931s bring out something new that you've been
3932s working on against other teams surprise
3935s tactics always work in these kind of
3936s high-level tournaments
3939s a part of you has to think as well
3941s do the shock go to mental warfare put
3942s collusion on the reinhardt we know the
3944s atlanta reign has struggled against that
3946s rush composition against the london
3948s spitfire of all teams and even the
3951s gladiators made it look easy against the
3953s atlanta reign so shock if they've been
3955s doing their homework watching those
3956s matches it could be a good look for them
3958s on king's row
3961s that's exactly what they're doing
3962s running sam on the may collusion on the
3965s rhine
3966s running gun
3967s run gun this is king's row the home of
3970s reinhardt not really but what if you've
3972s been around since 2016 everyone wants to
3975s play reinhardt on king's row because
3977s it's so narrow it allows you to just
3979s move around the map and clash into the
3981s atlanta rain i'm curious to see what the
3983s adaptation from the rain are going to be
3985s are they going to stick to hawking that
3986s doomfist
3987s we know doofus has worked well against
3989s rush in the past
3993s a couple of pop shots
3995s i mean sam was close there but they know
3997s kai is just free firing right now they
3999s get picked
4001s could be bad i really like this play i
4004s like this setup by the atlanta ring put
4005s hawk on the point he's sustainable he's
4007s getting healed by ultraviolet kai's
4009s standing in the spawn just holding them
4010s off the san francisco shop don't know
4012s how to respond to this they're just
4014s stuck in the high ground wanting to rush
4015s something down but there's nothing there
4016s they've already used the lamp yeah they
4018s already used the lamp and that's two
4019s ticks now for the allowed to reign the
4021s san francisco shock need to move nice
4023s knave doesn't get anybody and hulk gets
4024s a a double stun perfect usually the
4026s seismic slam together uh get away from
4028s that charge from the reinhardt
4030s two free ticks from the rain i will take
4032s that any day of the week and now the san
4034s francisco shock have to play on the low
4035s ground good sizing slam over the shield
4037s to try and get the rhine into a bit of
4039s danger but now hawk has found himself in
4041s a very small room with a nice wall at
4043s his back and violet finishes him off
4045s there you go finn with the use of the
4047s lamp stops the nade from doing anything
4050s proper got purpled and uh yeah they
4052s can't follow that up they need hulk to
4053s come back and be that engagement tool
4056s paul getting a little too close getting
4057s caught in the room but collusion's loyal
4059s oh
4059s they just that's a charlie niner if i've
4061s ever seen one they get off the point the
4063s shock give it up almost for free in the
4065s atlanta reign licking their lips with
4067s that one oh my word two three ticks and
4069s then oh would you take the third no
4070s worries you're in the court oh okay
4072s good thanks thanks five minutes on the
4074s clock not bad and for a san francisco
4076s shock like roster of heroes they have
4078s right now they want to be brought in up
4079s and close and personal right
4082s for the rain on giving it to him
4084s they're giving them nothing atlanta is
4086s just so spread out that the shop don't
4088s have a target to run down you want to
4090s play as this big brawl clump if you're
4092s the shock with sam on that may and
4093s isolate someone but every time the shock
4095s looks at somebody they're running
4097s they're running for the hills and now
4098s the shock you have to start questioning
4100s is this going to work but they're set up
4102s in this choke right now they've got the
4104s cards stalled the atlanta reign is going
4106s to have to engage into them there's the
4107s shadow from collusion but it gets
4108s interrupted by a sleep
4110s ultra violence sleeping collusion he
4112s tried to go for the shatter and all the
4114s meanwhile the atlanta reign seeing the
4115s right on the ground there's no
4116s protection for the back line oh gee gets
4118s eliminated proper on the soldiers trying
4120s to grasp at straws right now
4124s but the shock are getting run over
4126s this brawl composition that the atlanta
4127s range struggled against they're
4129s navigating it right now perfectly
4131s there's the switches coming in from the
4132s shock they have the male so they're not
4134s going to switch off of that but kalouge
4136s going to the winston fin over to the
4137s anna you can see them slowly making that
4139s transition into more of a dive style i
4142s wouldn't be surprised to see sam go to
4143s that tracer echo but this first fight he
4145s has the blizzard he needs to try and
4147s find and isolate someone but that's been
4148s difficult for them so far on king's row
4151s four ultimates for the atlanta reigning
4152s for this next fight this three for the
4154s shock visor on the sidelines and the
4156s nano blade for nero kai's already
4158s finished off one they forced the beat
4159s nero's going to take a step back knowing
4161s he can't really cut through that over
4163s health quick enough but even with just
4165s the kill onto proper that's good that's
4167s an ultimate eliminator for the shock
4168s collusion ends up going down the atlanta
4170s raid have all the answers in a
4172s deflective blizzard too
4174s the san francisco shock
4175s getting almost no value with ultimates
4178s there's been two beats that have gone by
4181s the wayside interrupted a blizzard
4183s deflected and collusion shatter negated
4187s i think it's fair to say the shock are a
4189s little boomed at this point that
4191s everything they've tried to do against
4192s the atlanta reign has not worked we see
4194s the full transition here from the shock
4196s they have sam over to the echo hawk gets
4198s left gets a little low with the biotic
4200s nade but they can disengage og's beat
4202s they know the shock have that visor for
4204s proper are they going to engage try and
4206s find an isolate proper as soon as he
4208s tries to pop that one if they got a beat
4210s they can just beat and speed in
4211s that would be one way they could do it
4213s hawk has thrown himself to the back line
4215s does it escape there's a meteor strike
4217s as you get out of jail free card but
4219s look at the space that they're being
4220s garnered right now they go in some beat
4223s after proppers visa collusion's antiqued
4226s and now with four minutes to go the
4227s atlanta reign want to sink this one home
4229s sam colluge dead the atlanta reign this
4232s is a completely different look from this
4234s team right now the san francisco shock
4237s not looking like yesterday or themselves
4240s like what is happening right now they're
4241s allowed to reign but coming
4244s three minutes and 46 seconds in the
4245s timeline
4247s that's got to be the fastest king's row
4249s attack we've seen so far this season
4251s atlanta rain ready for that one they've
4253s done their homework they've taken their
4255s losses and built and learned from them
4257s opposed to what matt thinks you can
4259s learn when you lose
4261s it's been great play for them so far i
4264s love the adaptation from nero as well
4265s knowing as soon as shock switch over to
4267s that dive get off genji switch to the
4269s reaper make it impossible for that san
4271s francisco shock team to move around
4274s so now what are the what do you do if
4276s you're the shock what you just threw at
4277s them with the rush doesn't work do you
4279s go back to tried and true winston dive
4281s or do you stick to the rush maybe it'll
4283s work better on offense
4286s well if you're gonna make adaptations
4287s you're gonna make it now that's for sure
4289s you kind of already know where the rain
4290s is gonna run well i say that again so
4293s many different shades of rain i love it
4295s we're seeing uh
4296s hawks along the doomfist oh here's the
4298s deflection on the blizzard
4301s like a book oh i just read
4305s i'm glad i spoke up nearer at the very
4306s start of the series and talking about
4308s how flexible he is
4309s extremely mechanically skilled on every
4312s hero that uh is possibly thrown at him
4315s still sticking on the genji kai on the
4316s soldier they think the san francisco
4318s shock is running the same kind of comp
4319s the rush
4320s they unfortunately don't get the benefit
4322s of changing real quick because they are
4323s on the defense
4325s it's the shock that needs to make
4326s adaptations like you said so they're
4329s gonna go to finn on the moira something
4331s the san francisco shock has leaned on a
4332s lot so far this season they like to play
4335s that fast run at you style with sam on
4337s that reaper finn on that moira it's kind
4340s of like the rush but like way faster
4342s you're not as durable but you can close
4344s distance and you can get on the high
4346s ground so look at them to try and
4347s isolate ultraviolet in that top window
4349s and force him into a position he does
4350s not want to be in looks like they're
4352s trying to do that right now with a big
4353s rotation up the stairs
4357s look at ultraviolet looking around he's
4359s he's so scared of where this shock team
4361s is going to come from okay they're
4362s trying to go for a pincer maneuver a
4363s teleport from sam up to the windows
4365s forcing ultraviolet back probably taking
4367s a little bit of chip damage but they
4369s should be he should be good
4371s so oh gee with the perfect amount of
4373s defense there can poop anybody that
4374s comes forward to the window hawk now in
4376s trouble but his healers on the high
4377s ground more than safe should be able to
4378s help him unless he losses that's exactly
4380s what happened
4382s i need to follow up does hit colluge but
4383s colu's using the seismic slam to get
4385s away the atlanta reigns still
4387s the defense looking impenetrable right
4390s now three minutes of shock you see that
4392s death from hawk and you're like oh he
4393s can't be dying but that was actually
4394s perfect he gets aggressive forces the
4396s shock to make him the target that they
4398s have to choose that leaves kai and
4400s ultraviolet just shooting freely down
4402s from the low ground ultraviolet's coming
4403s up on this nano but finn's coalescence
4405s that's going to be the engage tool for
4406s the san francisco shock shock still
4408s trying to play atlanta reigns game
4409s putting themselves on the point getting
4411s three ticks but hawk is there to deny
4413s all of that space and
4415s all of the progress now pogba goes down
4418s this it's not a shock i expected to see
4420s today
4424s port getting in that's another hold by
4426s the atlanta rank luge getting a little
4427s bit too aggressive so they need to find
4429s a way to make that work sam switching
4431s over to the genji unable to get anything
4433s done on the reaper not able to get close
4435s to anyone because they're all standing
4437s on the high ground he will be able to
4438s aggressively dive and close that
4440s distance on the genji ultraviolet
4442s looking for that nano boost with the
4443s visor the coalescence is coming it's not
4446s going to do well though not against the
4447s nano visor good b from violet doesn't
4449s get interrupted this time as kai ends up
4451s falling a three-man stun from hulk
4454s doesn't result in much apart from a
4456s little bit of damage but collusion is
4457s still taking the majority of it but
4459s surviving with a couple of hp allowing
4461s sam to pick up these kills ultra uh
4463s violet kills ultra violet
4465s in the back line and now the shock they
4467s planted their feet firmly on that point
4470s like unlock it get the payload going
4472s very different tempo though from what
4474s the atlanta reign did they got it so
4476s fast and uh well the atlanta reign they
4478s have the blade to back them up but
4479s sullivan propers pulse bomb now for this
4481s next fight we're gonna see ultraviolet
4483s switch over to the moira recognizing
4485s against this hard dive composition from
4487s the san francisco shock it's almost
4488s impossible to live on that honor so the
4491s major difference is kai on this soldier
4493s he's going to be pumping out so much
4494s damage shock need to find that tempo
4496s they've got the card moving atlanta
4498s right want to engage on this corner with
4499s nero's blade there's the pulse off he's
4501s looking for it
4502s what's that triple playing straight into
4504s the pub
4506s still taking a an awful lot of damage
4508s from og the blade's been pulled by nero
4511s gets a little bit damaged but that's
4512s about it he hasn't got the nano to back
4514s him up like you mentioned they switched
4515s over to the moira
4516s makai still doing a fair amount also you
4519s just got to keep collusion alive and
4521s proper alive too on this payload you
4522s should be good but still the atlanta
4524s reign clutching up when it counts
4528s losing finn there they just don't have
4529s that healing to sustain you saw
4531s ultraviolet getting pressured but moira
4532s is so survivable able to just live
4534s through that fight where the san
4536s francisco shock could not so they get to
4538s hold it a little bit longer and the time
4540s is dwindling look three minutes they're
4542s just slowing the shock down yeah it's so
4544s scrappy back and forth from these small
4546s corridors exactly like london i mean
4547s yeah getting scraps there you're not
4549s going too far away
4551s but with a charged up punch here didn't
4552s want to let it go just yet kalu is
4554s trying to do the same thing coalescence
4555s from ultraviolet that slam combo just
4558s slows you down sam couldn't escape and
4560s it's a perfect target for a coalescence
4561s anybody that's slowed stun they're going
4563s to take so much damage
4565s proper takes care of kai but it's not
4567s going to mean a whole bunch can kai can
4568s just run back from spawn one of the
4570s quicker heroes in overwatch too and the
4571s san francisco shock yet again struggling
4574s to get much done it feels like their
4575s tempo is a little slow they're not
4576s confident in their own play right now
4578s but they have the ultimates they have
4579s the same blade along with the fin
4581s coalescence they're going to be able to
4582s go aggressive yeah coalescence here's
4584s the chance to go for the blade or maybe
4585s a pulse bomb from proper meteor strike
4587s on the payload ends violet's life didn't
4589s try to pop the sound barrier this time
4590s the san francisco shock now lost two as
4592s kai unleashes the visor and finn falls
4595s the blade the blades coming in too from
4597s sam
4598s he lost both supports he had nothing to
4600s back him up in that one the san
4602s francisco shot lose the coal and the
4604s blade in that fight they allowed to
4605s reign just sort them out
4607s just a disconnect from their team finn
4609s pops the coalescence but sam holds off
4612s on pulling that blade by the time that
4613s sam pulls it violet's already dead
4616s jumping onto the reaper now you use the
4618s blade okay maybe you wanted to swap but
4621s still i feel like you could have done a
4622s lot more with that
4624s proper is the one you want to look for
4625s though trying to get these big sticks
4627s just an absolute wizard on the tracer
4629s nice beat from violet to push them
4631s forward and push the rain back
4632s ultraviolet near in that coalescence
4634s though only five percent away proper
4636s looking for a target does swing and miss
4638s and now he's just sitting on the mega
4640s health pack but ultraviolet and og now
4641s pushing the rain forwards now speed
4644s boost in the coalescence very hard to
4645s escape from if i didn't have that amp it
4647s up the san francisco shock still pushing
4649s the payload to be fair getting at a
4651s sizeable distance and no one has fallen
4653s just yet there's a minute to go with the
4654s payload rounding this second to last
4656s corner before the checkpoint unlocks
4659s finn with the coalescence they're going
4661s to get the chance to go first but it's
4662s not going to go early with your the
4664s structure strike on the back and violet
4665s dies to it yet again the san francisco
4667s shock are they going to decide to go now
4669s or later it looks like later but hawked
4671s a nice
4672s the coalescence once more and kai there
4675s with the follow-up damage the san
4677s francisco shock there is shambles 40
4680s seconds to go with the atlanta reign
4681s look like we want to take it here and
4683s put themselves on match point you saw
4685s hawk pause there for a second that was a
4686s question mark from him right there
4689s putting in work on that doomfist right
4691s now they're going first the shocker just
4693s caught getting caught flat-footed so
4695s we're going into the last fight atlanta
4696s rain have the beat the death blossom and
4699s the visor how are shot gonna have to
4700s answer proper with that pulse bomb is
4702s gonna have to go huge
4703s has to catch ultraviolet off guard or og
4706s just somebody you need a kill hitch
4708s start of the fight nero to the back line
4710s death blossom he's got the beat to back
4712s him up so there's no worry about you
4714s dying
4715s two kills for nero oh i fall to proper
4717s there's the pulse bomb they were looking
4719s for it's a three on three ultraviolet
4721s still alive by the pops and sound
4723s barrier hits the three remember uh
4724s remaining members but the coalescence
4726s from ultraviolet is just too good hawks
4728s pushing the rest of the san francisco
4730s shot back just with the plane punches
4731s nero hawk they're in the kill feed and
4733s the atlanta rain push away the shock
4736s this death blossom has to be big but
4738s look at the rain they just play back
4740s they don't need to worry about it they
4742s got the speed and the damage to back the
4744s mark collusion one hp jumps into the
4746s skies with a meteor strike but quickly
4748s clean on up another
4751s meteor strike kill for hawk and that is
4753s it
4755s the atlanta reign
4757s two mass
4758s taken away from the shock match
4761s points and a day i think a lot of people
4764s expected to go one way the shock picking
4766s up dubs they were first c coming in
4768s undefeated in fact
4770s coming into the kickoff clash
4772s the atlanta reign had a couple of tricks
4774s up their sleeve they're playing them
4775s right now
4777s where was this atlanta rain all season
4780s they've started so slowly they've looked
4781s inconsistent they didn't have that
4783s coordination today they look like a
4785s completely different team i don't know
4787s what they put in the water for the
4788s playoffs for the atlanta rain they're
4790s gonna put that in the regular season
4791s water because they are just a different
4793s beast when it comes to them in the
4795s matches that matter
4797s but hey
4798s we were here yesterday for the san
4799s francisco shock and they turned it
4801s around yep so don't never say die if
4803s you're the san francisco shark
4806s i gotta come up with something rather
4807s special look a little bit disconnected
4810s right now but they've got to reconnect
4812s that server and get it going
4813s map number three and potentially the
4815s final map as well scott we'll see in a
4817s second

5075s private leaderboards are here make sure
5077s you download the overwatch league mobile
5080s app on the google play store uh google
5082s play store and the app store
5083s ios to make your prediction and compete
5086s with your friends and share your fandom
5089s you know i like
5090s impressing my friends with my giant
5092s brain and my or my pick of knowledge and
5094s i like seeing what your preds are
5096s throughout the day too scott because
5097s they were a little bit different in a
5099s couple of games yeah i went for florida
5102s over washington just because yeah
5105s washington
5106s uh washington's burned me before okay so
5109s i won't speak so passionately right here
5111s about it because we need to talk about
5112s this match but yeah florida mayhem could
5115s could be upsetting sorry you could be
5116s mad on social media later that's fine
5118s that's cool yeah but make sure you
5125s the shock download they've done it
5127s before scott the reverse sweep has to
5129s start now it's got to start someone is
5130s going to start now they're two maps down
5131s the atlanta rain looking a dominant
5133s force apparently the person i'm looking
5136s out for is the same person who enabled
5138s the reverse sweep yesterday it has to
5140s start from proper proper on that tracer
5143s was absolutely dominant on newquay's new
5145s queen street against the washington
5147s justice so i want to see him have that
5148s performance he's kind of gonna miss in
5150s this series i can't really remember him
5152s having that much impact
5154s but we're heading over to dorado and the
5156s subs are coming in we're going back to
5157s the first map setups we're going to have
5159s the winstons we're going to have the
5160s traces we're going to have to dive but
5162s the thing that might be different on
5163s dorado is the widow makers kai versus
5167s kilo kai is a tried and tested
5169s widowmaker who made his mark norton
5172s yesterday on watchpoint gibraltar
5174s kilo the rookie who's looked good but
5176s can he go and hang with the best
5178s yeah the veteran in kai for sure who's
5181s known as fris wouldn't make it for well
5183s since forever
5185s i love a lot of uh the rookies coming
5187s into the season they are going up
5188s against these very veteran
5190s dps tank support duos and it's good to
5193s see how much uh
5194s how much they can stand up sometimes
5196s even surpassing of course proper being
5198s one of them one of the best dps in the
5199s league we have right now although
5201s currently to be fair in this match ain't
5203s looking so hard compared to venom on the
5205s tracer it's it's as we said yesterday
5207s that he just wasn't showing up and then
5209s he flicked a switch
5211s wherever that switch is he has to flick
5213s it right now in the entirety of the san
5215s francisco shock need to flip that switch
5217s it's not just individual players missing
5219s out them as a team are just
5223s not having that level of coordination
5224s that we know the san francisco shock
5226s have they're going slower than the
5228s atlanta reign they're not coordinating
5230s their ultimates together they're just on
5232s a different wavelength and the atlanta
5234s reign is punishing the fort
5236s attackers yeah they are
5239s trying to punish and now look okay we're
5241s obviously going to see kilo on the
5242s widowmaker i want to see how they end up
5244s setting up sometimes you see the
5246s teleport from venom up into high ground
5247s put kai up there too with his support
5250s it's all about juggling the payload too
5252s i mean the shocks do not
5254s want to let a free payload push happens
5256s like they're still kings row they just
5258s took it for free yeah you have to be
5259s able to respond to that like asap dorado
5263s i'm sure everybody can kind of remember
5265s the dorado ranked games right where you
5266s just kind of let the payload go into the
5268s bridge for free like that's bad you end
5269s up losing so much high ground it's
5271s interesting with the widowmaker head to
5273s head a lot of teams have actually been
5274s giving up that front half just so that
5276s you had that defensive advantage you can
5278s put your widowmaker on that back arch or
5280s you can put them in that little window
5282s near the market and what that does is it
5284s gives the defensive window so much
5285s freedom to move around and it can be
5287s hard for the offensive widow to find
5289s those sight lines because
5291s you have to expose yourself and i'm
5292s looking at kai i think kai is the person
5294s who's going to have to break open this
5296s first point especially because proper is
5298s on the genji he's going to be waiting
5300s for kai to come out and genji's going to
5302s hunt him down
5305s pretty early high ground control he's
5306s attempting to from the rain but yeah
5308s shock seems uh
5309s they're very willing to give that bit up
5311s kai's just playing name right now
5315s like i said it's all about proper
5316s getting on top of kai making sure he has
5318s a bit of a rougher time give kilo a
5320s better time
5321s grapple shots can he find anybody nope
5324s everybody's missing
5326s it looks like atlanta reigns taking
5328s control of this market space they're
5329s waiting for that go time gators jumping
5330s on just taking inch by inch and the
5332s shock is giving it to them wanting to
5334s keep that defensive setup
5337s big biotic nade coming in from
5339s ultraviolet on violet and popper keeping
5341s them low
5342s forcing them back a little bit further
5344s this is a slow attack but here they're
5346s going very slow okay got slept and now
5347s he's antiqued
5349s the iron terrain just refusing to back
5351s up though i mean they're just again
5353s pushing the payload for free the shock
5355s decided they want to take this final
5356s fight on the the first point nice dive
5358s on to kilo double pocket though from
5360s violet and finn to keep him alive and
5362s well in the fight for gator not quite so
5365s lucky nice name once more from
5367s ultraviolet he's here in these aunties
5368s but they're just not getting followed up
5370s on and we're gay to death the san
5371s francisco shock have free reign over the
5373s front line so romantic reign yeah
5375s they're gonna go again look at the clock
5376s jack it's two minutes that wasn't a two
5379s minute attack by the atlanta rain that
5380s cost them so much time yes it could have
5382s gone the other way but now they're
5384s working on limited time but the old
5385s cycle is up ultraviolet with that nano
5387s boost gate is going to go in with that
5388s one
5389s yeah it looks like they want to be able
5390s to set up all proper almost almost
5393s killing
5394s there's the nano in the back line gated
5395s fighting a little bit against andy so
5397s decides to back away now the pulse one
5399s from venom oh hits the roof but the
5401s rallies are gonna be decent ochi a
5403s little bit further behind the san
5405s francisco shock popping at their own
5407s does mean they're a little bit more
5408s hardy but proper was so low throughout
5409s the whole fight didn't get any backup
5410s whatsoever the sights have been active
5412s from the shock but will that really
5414s change much they've still lost proper
5416s and the nanoblade not really going to
5417s end up working out in fact they're going
5418s to apply it to colluge to try and open
5420s this one up they need to be able to get
5422s back to the point finn with the 1v1 on
5424s to venom and now gator trying to jostle
5427s with the kilo they'll reign not getting
5429s too much stuff done in fact he's a fin
5431s doing the heavy lifting currently the
5433s atlanta reigns time back dwindling down
5435s we talked about the widowmakers neither
5437s of them are doing anything it feels like
5438s right now they're just sort of looking
5440s at each other the atlanta reign blew
5442s everything in that fight while the san
5444s francisco shock and proper holding on to
5446s that blade so as soon as atlanta rain
5448s trying to play that slow aggression prop
5450s is just going to find the back line so
5452s how the atlanta reign going to approach
5454s this are they just going to go all in
5455s hard or are they going to try and bait
5457s the blade out from proper and then
5458s punish that the propers onto the
5460s left-hand side kai's actually peaking
5462s that angle yeah you don't really want to
5463s be there we've seen too many reflective
5465s kills actually on this map specifically
5467s too from poverty
5468s still looking for a target for the play
5470s he spots ultra right in the back line
5471s there's the dive straight on the arno an
5473s instant kill the added damage from
5475s colluse there just guaranteed it being
5477s one oh he's trying for it kai a little
5479s bit too wise
5480s maybe that's where the veteran seat
5482s comes into play scott 20 seconds to go i
5484s think that's right struggling to get
5486s anything done 20 seconds left atlanta
5488s rain don't have anything still they've
5490s barely even taken any fights in this
5492s round venom with the pulse bomb we saw
5493s him do it on the first map he's going to
5495s have to come up big again
5497s that's what like a very strange game
5498s overwatch everything is just so sweet
5500s for these cops that normally want to go
5502s rather fast the pulse bomb is the shield
5503s of violet so he's able to drop that one
5505s on the floor and then just walk away
5507s over time now here finn's still more
5509s than happy to stay on the sidelines and
5511s now that is the opening that you want
5512s violet dead by kai's hands nano boost
5515s for finn though
5516s instant applying to collusion he's not
5518s going to fall and get that primal rage
5520s nice killed by proper the following up
5521s with the dives of perfect this is the
5524s san francisco shot we expected to show
5526s up today it may have taken them to map
5528s number three to do it but maybe that's
5529s where their strongest gate is still
5531s killing proper is going to be a good
5532s sign and the stall for the atlanta
5534s reigns good they come back with a nano
5536s boost or at least eight percent away and
5538s gator being able to separate the
5540s supports from each other but no
5544s he was looking hard for
5548s coming in from the atlanta reign but
5549s that was the san francisco shock as you
5551s said that we expect they played so well
5553s even at the disadvantage that final
5555s fight kai finally
5557s getting a pick but they're able to use
5559s their ultimates to mitigate that lack of
5560s healing and
5562s i don't want to be that guy but the
5564s reverse sweep starts now
5568s i mean they've done it before why can't
5569s they do it again
5570s that's insane you get to map three like
5572s okay anyway
5573s anyway we're showing up now yeah there's
5575s proper clock in it punching the punch
5576s card we talked about that switch it
5578s looks flipped i i love that
5580s he's a rookie but he had that composure
5583s when he pulled that blade with 20
5584s seconds to go he got that one kill
5586s me
5587s you every single person in ranked in dps
5590s would have gone for those extra kills
5591s that second that third kill
5593s he had that composure backs off
5595s understanding that the fight was already
5596s in their advantage if he goes aggressive
5598s and gets punished it's worse for them so
5600s this guy just putting on work and this
5602s is him cleaning up the back line doing
5604s exactly what he needs to do on that
5605s engine
5606s has a marker but phenomenal genji just
5608s being again the patience being in the
5609s right place the right time especially as
5611s a flanking dps player that's
5613s a skill that you develop
5615s over so many hours of play and then
5618s lining up the widow a little right click
5619s a little dash an instant kill okay with
5622s the shock
5623s they're on their attack yes
5625s he's warming up he's ready to go reverse
5626s sweep starts here baby gamer pose
5628s rubbing his hands together i love it
5631s we're going to see kilo teleport them to
5632s the high ground as everyone does these
5634s days again it's going to get small
5635s charge by holding a little bit close but
5637s ultimately give that one up i wouldn't
5639s be surprised to see atlanta rain do the
5641s same thing that the shock did give them
5642s that first half try and get all charged
5644s try and get picks but at the end of the
5646s day it's very difficult to hold this
5648s high ground
5651s kilo having that impact as the rookie we
5653s said the rookie going up against the
5654s veteran and making his mark known oh
5656s yeah double grapple shot
5659s easy peasy all done across
5663s kai saying that not want to put down
5664s your shield if you're og that you got a
5666s very ultraviolet that was lucky
5670s that you didn't lose your honor there
5672s all right so now we have the atlanta
5674s reign it's not the worst thing in the
5675s world they're just gonna have to back up
5676s they entered the small room
5678s ultraviolet's dead how is this happening
5680s there's no way the shock is just running
5682s the trucker just running over a
5683s completely different tempo from what
5685s atlanta it took them two minutes to kind
5688s of jostle around fight look for
5689s ultimates the san francisco shock have
5691s already pushed way past
5692s where the atlanta reign even got to
5694s there's a couple of meters to go the the
5696s islands are raining they need to touch
5697s they've got no alts and og dyke's super
5699s late there finn has just been popping
5701s off and there you go
5703s just like that the san francisco shock
5705s the reverse sweep is science scott the
5707s atlanta reign had almost no business on
5710s dorado
5712s that was not close somehow atlanta reign
5714s end up in a small room with colluge and
5716s the genji i don't know how the back line
5719s ended up there but they needed to be
5720s more in the open holding more space
5722s stopping the san francisco shock from
5724s just walking forward
5727s i i don't i don't want to talk for the
5729s atlanta reign and just the dive style we
5732s know that it is not their strength and
5733s the thing that they've tried to avoid
5735s playing but they look so good on that
5736s first map i was thinking maybe something
5738s had clicked
5740s but something about the dorado heavily
5742s struggled so far man maybe that san
5744s francisco shocks map it definitely looks
5745s like propers matt that is for sure
5748s push coming up next after this break
5750s we'll see in a second
5791s [Applause]
5793s [Music]
5815s [Music]

5940s [Music]
5958s [Music]
6001s whoever said lightning doesn't strike
6003s twice has never met the san francisco
6009s some of the most hardcore carry
6011s performances that i've ever seen just
6012s the depth of talent on their roster that
6014s can't be denied i mean what more can you
6016s ask in the shot this is going to be a
6019s wild ride
6021s violet is cracked he's out of his mind
6024s i say that justice okay
6028s everything right now jesus free
6032s deadlifting right now actually
6034s finishing doing so much cleans it up
6036s like dps
6038s san francisco has cemented themselves as
6040s the greatest team in overwatch
6046s the shock have reached their comfort
6048s zone i think
6050s they're two maps down
6052s well they were until they took dorado a
6054s full hold on dorado they're looking good
6059s oh boy i'd be scared about the atlanta
6060s rain right now scott
6062s violet yesterday when they went to five
6065s maps he was like i just wanted to play
6066s more maps you know maybe if i was just
6069s leaning into that again today he's been
6072s uh had some struggles on the lucio so
6074s far in the first couple of maps but that
6076s san francisco shock on dorado was a
6078s completely different team to the one we
6079s saw in the first two i mean it felt like
6081s the atlanta reign was also completely
6083s different from what we saw in the first
6084s two their fights were so slow they took
6087s two minutes they pushed the payload well
6088s like a decent amount towards first point
6090s but the fight was never really going
6093s like they just kind of stood around
6095s waited for picks maybe they were just
6096s waiting on kai to find that crucial
6098s headshot on a dps or a support i'm not
6100s sure i will say the san francisco shock
6102s backline reacted perfectly every time
6105s atlanta reign threw something at them
6106s double pocket anyone they isolated they
6108s were getting protected so you have to
6110s give credit there but atlanta reign
6112s they're gonna have to come up with
6113s answers as we move on to the fourth map
6115s because
6116s as we talked about it they did it
6118s against gladiators they did it against
6119s washington the san francisco shock
6121s cannot keep getting away with it as we
6124s start to see the subs coming out for the
6125s atlanta rain yeah there you go nero
6127s stepping in
6128s as well as hawk
6130s for the atlanta reign
6132s the two maps they want to be fair it'll
6134s be interesting to see what hawke decides
6136s to come out on
6137s he has played doomfist on this map many
6139s a time so far this season but has been
6141s leaning more towards the zaya as of late
6144s venom
6145s having uh sorry nero having big impact
6147s as well the coordination that they have
6149s that more death ball style
6152s and the san francisco shock
6154s no subs so they decided to keep in kilo
6157s i would expect him to stay and come play
6158s the soldier soldiers being such a
6160s dominant hero on this map because of the
6162s long sight lines you can get so much
6164s damage down you can get so much flanking
6166s we've seen some running man moments at
6168s the beginning of these rounds getting
6169s behind the opposition
6171s yeah kind of scary stuff
6174s but this
6175s if you're a shock fan right you're like
6176s oh yes we lost two maps can't wait
6179s i don't think that's what they were
6180s saying in class oh no they were saying
6182s you know it you love it the san
6184s francisco shock the reverse sweep gods
6187s you compare some of the other teams in
6188s the league who end up getting reverse
6189s swept kind of was bad in the other room
6191s right but there you go
6193s coliseum is a bit of an interesting one
6194s too like you said maybe hawk switching
6196s over to that zarya but his doomfist
6198s looked unbelievable like the amount of
6201s ultimates that they denied violet losing
6203s two beats on control
6206s they had nero reflecting the uh the
6209s blizzard you had them destroying the
6211s coalescence with just a single punch
6213s like
6214s what more can you ask for from a
6216s doomfist really the thing that i'm
6218s interested by for the san francisco
6220s shock if hawke does come out on this
6221s doomfist we saw on elios ruins
6224s college was willing to mirror it so if
6226s that does come to come to bear colluge
6228s might not feel comfortable on that
6230s winston and make that switch over to the
6231s doomfist as well so there's a lot of
6232s mind games atlanta rain when they make
6235s these switches it's very obvious how
6236s they're going to want to play while the
6238s san francisco shock their players are so
6239s flexible
6240s that you can never really expect what
6242s they're going to do and they have that
6243s ability to adapt mid map
6247s definitely need some mid-map adaptations
6250s i like
6251s this map as well specifically for the
6252s shock popper can just have free run
6255s around like ring around the rosie of the
6257s supports there's so many small little
6259s hiding places that you can uh find as
6261s the tracer it's good for soldier as well
6264s like the amount of flank routes is kind
6266s of insane
6268s but as soon as like when i first jumped
6269s into the map there's the big long
6271s stretch where the robot is you have to
6272s push it down but then there's it feels
6274s like 80 percent of the map on the other
6276s side where the robot is not it's just
6278s blank round flank grout flank there's
6280s doors on doors and doors and more
6282s importantly there's health packs as well
6284s so that gives the traces and the
6285s soldiers freedom but san francisco shock
6288s a very different look colluge coming out
6290s here on the zaya proper on the hanzo
6292s something we haven't seen from him so
6293s far that much but atlanta rain with the
6296s exact same composition yeah
6297s all right a little bit grab dragons
6299s maybe i've seen a long
6305s you're going to see a lot of shooting
6306s down this long corridor everyone waiting
6308s for those moments either the hanzo's
6309s hitting those big shots or the
6311s antibiotic nades getting lobbed down
6314s i would be surprised if you saw anyone
6316s decide to go aggressive without either
6318s of those things happening so it could
6320s just be a
6321s big standoff right now trying to get
6323s control of ts1
6324s and they really just want to capitalize
6327s yeah like you said on a nade
6328s can't run up on there pretty tough
6330s especially when collusion has a bubble
6332s to cleanse himself of the ante
6334s they're waiting for nero or proper to
6335s find a head shot
6337s is what they're waiting on right now
6338s yeah we saw an okay made from
6340s ultraviolet force shock back a little
6342s bit but once that's worn off they take
6344s it they got the headshot there's the
6345s headshot you're after now they don't
6347s have a lucio they have to run real quick
6349s because the san francisco shock they
6351s know it's go time a speed boost can be
6353s devastating if you're on the receiving
6355s end they know where nero is they know
6356s he's on this mega pack at the back i
6358s wouldn't be surprised if san francisco
6359s shock try and find a way to isolate him
6362s but just that little bit of positioning
6364s it's i think we go into the same
6366s position everyone's looking to get those
6367s pokes we go back into the corridor as
6369s the hanzos try and hit this shot
6371s it's crazy they're just playing around
6373s that one arrow that one headshot a
6376s couple of ultimates coming online though
6377s both honors looking at a nano booster
6380s quite close another one not quite so
6382s much anymore right lose their honor just
6384s like that proper hits ahead and there
6387s you go nero cleaned up the shock
6389s firm control now firm grasp of control
6392s grab dragons coming up soon there's just
6394s so much they have a wealth ultimate
6396s almost six in the bank for this next
6397s fight yeah this is gonna be the big
6399s ultimate fight and this is where it gets
6400s hard if you're the offensive team you
6402s got to push it under the bridge and you
6404s can already see the atlanta rain setting
6406s up on the high ground with that soldier
6407s hanzo so you're going to see the shock
6409s they're disengaging a little bit they're
6411s not willing to walk through that open
6412s plane proper though wow with the flank i
6415s think this is going exactly what you're
6416s saying they're waiting for this big
6418s graviton surge you place that side
6419s kalooz gets the good grab as the atlanta
6421s reign walks forward to take that
6423s positioning and the dragon comes from an
6424s unexpected angle there you go 99 boom
6427s graviton search online for clues grab
6429s dragons
6430s available however atlanta rain are going
6432s to go first there's the graph can they
6434s find it to be kai in the back line with
6435s the nano visor
6437s can they stop any of this damage coming
6438s through yeah it looks like it the san
6439s francisco shock using that violet beat
6441s to push them around they caught hawk in
6444s the ground and the dragons finished them
6445s off and proper still doing damage he
6447s wasn't the sidelines that whole time
6448s scott an ultraviolet dies in the san
6450s francisco shock claim control of the
6452s robot again
6454s this is a very different style of push
6456s that we've seen from any team both teams
6458s prioritizing positioning with this
6460s composition rather than pushing the bot
6461s or ever going aggressive you saw kai go
6464s with that nano visor and it had some
6466s success but as soon as the team turns
6467s around on him he just has nowhere to go
6470s there's san francisco shock backing off
6472s and we end up in this corridor
6474s dragons it's colluge that dies
6478s unfortunate stuff i mean
6480s the amount of healing you need a lamp
6481s you need to beat you need to translate
6482s you need something to help you survive
6484s their two bubbles it's not going to be
6486s enough nero cleaning up the shock
6489s that's a rain they haven't got too far
6491s to push but still oh my god
6494s well i wasn't expecting that
6496s nero is starting to come alive on that
6498s hanzo and the atlanta reign pushes it
6500s forward trying to get to that checkpoint
6501s that the san francisco shock got as well
6503s but you see the major difference between
6505s what the shock did and what atlanta rain
6507s is they've got the high ground
6508s positioning you can see hawk on this
6509s high ground they got the anna the hanzo
6511s so the san francisco shock have to make
6512s a decision are they going to try and
6514s fight for this bridge or are they just
6515s going to try and force the position on
6516s the point you can see collus running
6518s down the bridge the ideally one that
6519s high ground nice anti in the back that
6521s healing station does nothing but nero
6522s kills finn
6523s lack of healing now the san francisco
6525s shock and a lack of nano
6527s where are they going to choose to fight
6528s looks like the high ground kilo taking
6530s control and killing ultra violet and
6531s that was applied to hawke before
6533s ultraviolet died but it got next to
6535s nothing done
6537s ultraviolet on his way out gives the
6538s nano to hawk to keep him alive as well
6540s maybe a desperation moment fortunately
6542s does not pay off for them and the san
6544s francisco shock are able to take that
6545s space look at how many ultimates the
6547s shock have they need to find a way to
6549s position themselves into a better spot
6551s so that they can utilize these ultimates
6552s because it feels like they're just stuck
6554s on the low ground and only able to
6556s isolate one person at a time but you can
6557s see hawke fighting for it a clutch
6559s grabber graviton surge there's the
6561s dragons two people are trapped in it as
6563s well as an antennae straight on top nero
6566s og dead body uses to be at the very end
6568s of the fight not sure about that one but
6570s at least proper farming the atlanta
6572s reign on the hanzo
6575s one beat available for the reign here
6577s they know the shock used that fairly
6578s late so they could use that to push on
6580s four but that robot is nearing that
6581s checkpoint atlanta rain coming up to a
6583s graviton surge in a dragon to themselves
6585s but ultraviolet finds almost a free pick
6587s up on the proper and they're not going
6589s to get that so important checkpoint
6592s on coliseum atlanta rain ts1 runs back
6594s their way
6597s now in that favor i mean look the
6599s atlanta reign old bang grab dragons he's
6601s like grab dragon better all over again
6602s waiting for the grab dragons
6604s i could go pro again this this was my
6605s matter 2016. i'm back in
6609s business this one hawk is getting up to
6611s it he wants to isolate collusion is the
6613s big target grab available or b is
6615s actually forced out the san francisco
6616s shock have split up can they finally get
6618s onto proper yes nice graviton surge
6620s kaluge doesn't stand a chance they don't
6622s even need to use the dragons because the
6624s rest of the shock were already dead it
6626s was a nice idea from san francisco
6628s splitting up
6629s and forcing at the atlanta rain to maybe
6631s use the graviton surge a little less
6633s effectively but it didn't work out and
6634s the rain now have the lead great
6636s presence of mine by nero to not use that
6638s dragon to finish off collusion was
6640s unnecessary now the atlanta reign they
6642s have the advantage and they've got the
6644s checkpoint this is the big moment they
6646s have the positioning again how is the
6647s shot going to get this opening
6649s last night was a big blast from finn but
6652s it is this time again dragons
6654s easily dodged but kalush is now on his
6656s own on the sidelines he's so low
6658s and now they want to hawk he's 50 energy
6661s a couple of kills
6662s the atlanta reign want to deny this
6664s reverse sweep from shock our shots gonna
6667s let them do it they've got a couple more
6669s fights in them a minute and 30 to go but
6671s we are at the breaking edge right now 90
6674s plus meters for the rain
6676s kilo switching over to this ash to have
6678s more damage but look at how much
6679s position it is getting but great
6681s punishment on the wall
6682s to property's nine hp
6685s glue should be able to finish the rest
6686s of the team off he's high in charge
6689s and the atlanta reign have no healing to
6691s spare
6692s but we're looking at last fight now
6694s scott a minute to go for the shock they
6696s need to keep themselves in this was
6698s their time to come alive the reverse
6700s three potential
6702s even though there's one minute left in
6703s this map the san francisco shot cannot
6705s drop another team fight they have so
6706s much way to go and then they have to
6708s push the bot as well we have grabs on
6710s dragon coming up for the san francisco
6712s shock again there it is the graph comes
6713s out the dragons have been uh they do
6715s they need it i don't think they do
6717s the nano boost available from finn the
6719s san francisco shock have us to spend in
6721s his next fight and car used that visor
6723s and just got nothing with it
6726s 59 meters before the shock 30 seconds to
6729s go the atlanta range trying to buy as
6731s much time as possible once again
6732s ultraviolet finding these strange off
6735s the back kills that seems good for the
6737s shock but that's actually great idea by
6739s the atlanta ring get that graviton surge
6740s out early so therefore there's a long
6742s way to go for the san francisco shock
6744s and you can actually see in push the
6747s spawns are so far away we have violet
6749s coming back for proper just so that they
6751s can have a clean five versus five fight
6753s and the atlanta reign they're in
6755s position they have all the control they
6756s just need to be careful and not throw
6758s away all their ultimates in this fight
6760s it's their final chance to come back in
6761s this series the dragons are gonna get
6763s unleashed but an easy speed away from
6765s the atlanta reign and now the nano
6766s boosted hawk he's found an entrance to
6767s the back line collusion staring right in
6769s his back though but already kai has done
6771s some damage proper falls but kai does
6773s too it's a four on four but collusion
6774s with the nano and high charge he's
6776s surviving so much of this damage that
6777s nero is dishing out a beautiful boupon
6779s to og sends it to the skies and to now
6782s heaven the san francisco shock they've
6784s got the bob for this next point proper
6785s is changing over to a genji trying to
6787s get back in time
6788s this is going to take a while once the
6790s san francisco shock get onto this
6792s checkpoint ds1 has to sort of take a
6794s break you know it's been a hard day's
6795s work so kilo has the bob he has that set
6798s up that initiation tool the atlanta
6800s rainbow graviton surge and the dragon
6801s they've been getting so much value from
6803s it so far they only need this one team
6805s fight to close out this match they step
6806s off the payload it's all over but hawk
6808s is so close to this graviton surge he's
6810s got it bob runs straight past it but he
6811s runs to the back line kilo's in a lot of
6813s trouble someone's got to save him the
6815s dragons are going to help finish him off
6816s a 4v5 and a beat for the atlanta reign
6819s they now need to just focus down
6820s collusion stop him getting value from
6822s these bubbles nero finds a hedgehog to
6824s violet and this could just be it they're
6825s gonna deny shock the reverse reap
6827s goodbye finn gets sent over the edge of
6829s the map it's up to proper but it's not
6831s gonna happen he finds two kills but hawk
6833s is just way too strong the atlanta reign
6836s tonight shocked the reverse sweep
6838s they take push and take the series three
6840s to one
6844s coming back strong now we're in the
6846s finals of the kickoff clash and the san
6849s francisco shock not able to convert the
6851s reverse sweep like they were yesterday
6853s they're looking a little shaky they have
6855s some good moments but if they're gonna
6857s do it if they're gonna get to the finals
6858s they're gonna have to make the run
6859s through the lower bracket
6863s what a relief for the atlanta rain they
6865s thought the shock may have entered the
6867s comfort zone that toronto did not
6870s go according to plan
6872s but still with the rain capitalizing
6874s here eliminate while not eliminating
6877s knocking shock down
6878s to the lower bracket a number one seed
6881s to an undefeated san francisco shot
6883s coming into the kickoff clash
6886s i want to know how many people in the
6887s pickups had the atlanta reign to go to
6890s the winners bracket final win their
6892s first two matches they've been
6894s struggling so far this season but as i
6896s said completely different team
6898s absolutely incredible performance from
6900s them today showing good strategy
6902s coordination and also they've got their
6904s compositions down they understand how
6906s they want to play this game and
6908s someone's got to find an answer for it
6911s we have a lot of depth
6913s in their roster we've seen gator we've
6914s seen hawk
6915s we've seen the dps swap up as well it's
6918s been a good look for the rain the shock
6920s now have to battle through that lower
6922s bracket like you mentioned
6925s they'll find out who their opponent is a
6926s little bit later on there's two teams
6927s going home today two
6929s gotta remember that that's uh gonna be a
6931s tough tough run
6934s dallas fuel and the gladiators that's
6936s coming up next another
6937s unbelievable game number two and number
6939s three seed facing off
6942s so the atlanta reigns going to be
6943s watching that match intently our next
6945s match because that's who their opponent
6947s is going to be
6948s and i don't feel good for anyone in the
6950s lower bracket already i don't want to
6951s face the san francisco shock in an
6953s elimination match they've done it time
6955s and time again throughout the years as a
6957s franchise when they get to the playoffs
6959s and when they get to that lower bracket
6961s they're difficult to beat
6963s i think we've got an interview down on
6964s the stage though with danny it's hawk
6967s down there i want to have a little work
6969s within myself i think let's have a look
6971s what danny has to say
6973s jose carson thank you very much i am
6975s standing right next to og
6977s from atlanta rain everybody give it up
6979s for og and atlanta ring
6983s what an upset i don't think a lot of
6986s people would have predicted that atlanta
6988s reign was going to beat the san
6989s francisco shock but you guys made it
6991s happen how'd you guys do it
6994s um i think they underestimated us a lot
6997s and we've always had this talent to be
6999s the number one team but what we were
7000s missing was just
7002s the pieces to make it work and i think
7004s we found that so far at this tournament
7007s would it be okay for me to ask what
7008s those pieces were
7010s yeah i think our compositions were a
7014s little off during the regular season but
7016s we've really managed to clean it up and
7018s i think we showed that today against our
7019s win
7021s interesting um i mean yeah like you
7022s mentioned you know you guys had to find
7025s those pieces
7026s and you guys always had the potential to
7028s be really great team hi reiner
7033s all right oh i mean my question is i
7034s feel like do you do you actually
7036s personally feel like a lot of people are
7038s sort of as of right now underestimating
7041s the atlanta rate
7042s absolutely um after our loss against our
7045s rivals the london spitfire um i don't
7047s think people thought we were much of a
7048s contender to win this tournament but i
7051s hope everyone's minds changed up to
7052s today and if we're gonna
7054s you know this loss doesn't mean much
7055s until grand or one thing doesn't mean
7056s until grand finals because you know they
7058s can come back and lose this bracket so
7060s we're gonna keep our heads clear
7061s all right thank you so much one last
7063s question for you g uh next match is i
7066s think dallas versus gladiators and the
7068s winner from that match is going to be
7070s your next opponent who do you think is
7072s going to go up and then meet you guys in
7074s the semi-finals
7076s um
7078s this is a close one you know i can it's
7080s really coming down to the supports here
7081s in this lineup you know if someone gets
7083s their beat cancelled or something then
7085s everything can go crazy
7087s so it's up in the air it's up in the air
7090s you're not gonna you can't you can't
7091s really choose who's gonna win
7093s no sure come on just just just pick one
7095s team gladiators
7098s [Applause]
7101s gladiators it is all right that is it
7103s for rosie thank you so much let's head
7104s back to our casters
7108s [Music]
7111s thank you very much danny yeah got a
7112s little hot in here talking about jackie
7113s let me get back home
7115s there you go come on you got to say the
7117s other team right you got to say
7118s gladiators just to rile up the crowd a
7120s little bit yeah you know i think it's
7122s better this was going to be a close one
7123s i love danny danny just pokes and prods
7126s them until they say something
7128s and he comes out with the gladiators
7129s that's a close one i think it's going to
7130s be a good match but you got to give
7132s credit especially to og a rookie so far
7135s in this season and he's been performing
7137s flawlessly like yeah we've seen so many
7139s beats canceled you know he just talked
7140s about that but he's been exceptional
7143s even when the atlanta reign has been
7144s down i think the back line of the
7145s atlanta reign has been pretty clean yeah
7147s maybe reiner whispered something into
7149s his ear just then just uh on the stage
7151s yeah there's insider trading going there
7153s ryan is maybe just maybe a threatening
7154s hug you better choose us well let's have
7156s a look at play off the match though from
7159s that one oh who we're gonna give it to i
7161s think is gonna be hawk his doomfist
7164s looked so
7165s good he cancelled so many ultimates
7168s violet just didn't have a good time also
7171s media strike it's changed in overwatch
7173s too it does a little bit less damage
7174s like uh with the aoe but you man on
7176s people it still does a whole bunch and
7178s the amount of times he was picking up
7179s kills like that but maybe for me it was
7181s the old council i was like absolute
7182s beast
7183s i think it's desire i think isaiah being
7186s able to come into these series into
7188s these playoffs matches before when we
7190s saw hall come into the lineup we were
7191s just like it has to be doomfist he's
7193s going to play that style but being able
7194s to make that switch up onto the xayah
7196s makes them even more threatening and
7198s make it even more difficult here's
7199s desire statistics right here great
7201s gravitons he stayed alive and he got so
7203s many final blows and that aggression and
7205s that positioning really made it
7206s difficult for the san francisco shock to
7208s do anything yeah really
7210s to push them off kilter that's for sure
7213s and that was a one of my favorite things
7214s about the atlanta rain coming into the
7216s season was they had hawk and gators
7218s still in the roster they have a
7220s traditionally main tank player and they
7221s have a traditionally an off-tank player
7223s which gives them a lot of flexibility
7225s going into a game that is 5v5 without
7226s that tank and you're able to just kind
7229s of more hyper-specialize but i think
7231s both of them extremely flexible in what
7233s they do and that's the most important
7235s thing as overwatch 2 and 5v5 grows the
7239s tanks that are more flexible are going
7241s to become more valuable we've already
7242s seen that from players like collusion
7243s rhino the ability to play multiple
7245s things it is such a big boon for you as
7247s a team because you can do so many
7248s different compositions without making
7250s subs yeah exactly that we're gonna jump
7252s to a quick break don't go anywhere
7254s dallas and glads are up next
7256s [Music]
7260s the watching is brought to you by upper
7262s deck the official trading card of the

7447s [Music]
7456s hello and welcome everyone to our game
7458s break so we are joined by reinforce as
7461s well as necro to break down all the
7463s action and i mean we could say we told
7466s you so about the upset uh but that will
7468s still be disingenuous i told you so but
7470s we did it
7472s we didn't yeah exactly
7474s in fact only one single percent
7477s of all our fans have atlanta win it all
7481s so that's that's great yeah
7484s there's still a lot of people though we
7485s have a lot of fountains
7487s do you think one percent is you know i
7489s don't know i don't know out of how many
7490s but i'm just going to assume there's a
7492s lot of people out there billions of
7493s people millions of people also 48
7496s of people have san francisco shock take
7499s the crown in the kickoff clash
7501s that's way to work 48 percent people i'm
7503s one of those
7505s yeah but 48 like that's obviously too
7508s many like you know you were there first
7510s be careful
7512s okay so nick and i we're okay to prep
7514s that but everyone else like is
7516s it's too much yeah if you came late to
7518s the party you're not allowed to
7519s pre-shock winning uh the tournament
7521s that's how it is you got to go to the
7522s other teams divide yourself up it's a
7524s fire hazard okay you wanted to
7526s understand yeah there's over capacity on
7528s the shock boat
7530s not everyone can can be in that ship
7532s i understand that uh however we do have
7535s to discuss what just transpired i mean
7537s atlanta rain they are looking good
7538s they're looking flexible uh they're
7541s looking like the team we really wanted
7542s to see the last four weeks and then we
7545s finally get to see them whereas a shock
7548s yeah i don't know i mean this is not
7549s first day jitters anymore they clearly
7551s are struggling to show us different
7553s looks uh do you feel like they they come
7554s across a little one-dimensional right
7556s yeah i mean it's it's one of those
7558s things that i don't think really
7559s considered going into the tournament and
7561s it's hard to really
7563s you know kind of see it before it
7565s actually happens but the san francisco
7567s shock i mean they have gotten away with
7569s playing a lot of these winston
7571s compositions um with proper on that
7574s tracer i mean you could argue like well
7575s they played sigma on circuit real
7577s against the vancouver titans where it's
7579s like oh all right well if that's your
7580s argument um but the atlanta ring
7583s meanwhile they're just like firing on
7585s all center cylinders um there comes a
7587s point when you are a professional team
7590s where it just kind of clicks where it's
7592s like okay we failed in this matter we
7595s failed in this matter and
7597s what are the lessons we've learned and
7598s then you put it all together and you
7600s just kind of like hit your stride
7602s and i feel like the atlanta reign in
7603s many ways they have done so they
7605s struggle against rhino teams right they
7606s struggle against london spitfire um
7610s ellie gladiators they played reinhardt
7611s compositions well they don't have to
7613s deal with that when they play against
7614s the san francisco for the majority of
7616s this match you kind of just have to
7618s pick apart
7619s um this kalooz winston composition and
7622s the time summers is going to shock they
7624s showed some signs of life like here on
7625s dorado uh but at that range they were in
7627s a prime position uh following that elios
7629s and following the king's row where they
7631s were able to rely on the hawk zarya and
7633s once more colosseo
7635s you could say well okay well we're not
7637s going to pick new queen street because
7639s we don't want to give
7640s san francisco the chance to play their
7642s winston composition and with all the big
7644s flanks on new queen street as well
7646s proper can have a great time on the
7647s tracer we're going to force it to a bit
7649s of a more narrow map so we can play our
7651s star composition with nero on the hanzo
7653s because we're very confident in our
7655s ability to do so so the atlanta rain it
7658s all just seems like it's coming together
7659s for them whether it's the doomfist
7660s composition the zarya they feel like
7662s they have all the answers and they're
7664s confident in the player that showed very
7666s much so in today's series yeah i mean
7668s necro we see that as well when we're
7670s looking at their their sobbing
7671s strategies i mean they have a very clear
7672s idea of what they want to play on which
7674s map and with whom
7677s yeah and i think that's something that's
7678s really characteristic of overwatch 2 in
7680s general is that it's a lot more map
7682s dependent you're looking at
7683s compositional picks and even just
7685s compositional play styles that have to
7687s vary based on the positioning and what
7690s you're offered in just the natural
7691s architecture of the map and i just want
7693s to kind of bring up another point that i
7695s thought was really interesting about
7696s coliseum because as we did see that pick
7700s come through and the zarya compositions
7701s come out from both teams a lot of that
7704s map san francisco was actually beating
7707s the atlanta reign when it come came to
7709s just damage across the board i mean i'm
7711s looking at hanzo and zarya from popper
7714s and colluge was actually out damaging
7717s that of nero and hawks so they were
7718s outpacing in that regard
7720s kai was out damaging kilo but that was
7723s until he switched over to the ash so
7727s all in all atlanta rain still got the
7729s job done despite having less damage on
7732s the board
7735s i mean i i love that map actually like
7737s for everyone who wants to see some good
7739s tactical overwatch like go back and
7741s re-watch that colosseum up because quite
7743s frankly i think both teams had a really
7745s interesting approach uh jaws and custer
7747s did a phenomenal job in breaking that
7748s down talking more about the positioning
7751s uh very often at the beginning on those
7753s kind of push maps we saw a lot of more
7755s of a brawl
7756s more chaos a lot of fights like constant
7759s fighting this one felt a lot more
7761s tactical there was a lot more
7762s positioning there was a lot more uh
7764s usage of the architecture of the maps as
7766s you said nicara so uh yeah that was a
7769s that was a great one to break down for
7770s sure now atlanta is moving on and shock
7773s now has to fight their way through the
7775s lower bracket i am excited at how all of
7778s this is shaping up and uh our next match
7782s that is a tough one to predict this one
7783s l.a gladiators going up against the
7786s dollars of fuel now that is our next
7788s match to preview
7790s um
7792s i don't even know where to start with
7793s this one i mean at this point i can't
7795s trust my own preds anymore or my
7797s feelings about any of those teams
7800s it's true but okay based on what we've
7802s seen from both those teams yesterday
7804s necra
7805s do you feel like one team really has the
7807s edge here
7810s oh that's such a tough call because when
7812s you're looking at both teams they they
7814s play differently you know i think that
7816s both teams have quite a bit of
7818s compositional diversity more
7820s particularly when you're looking at the
7821s la gladiators you can see them run a
7824s bunch of different things dallas fuel
7826s they do tend to stick towards the zarya
7828s comp but i think og actually was onto
7831s something when looking at the back lines
7833s of both of these teams and so my eyes
7835s are definitely on the supports and how
7838s much they're able to really help
7840s initiate some of these engagements
7844s who are you keeping your eyes on for
7846s this match
7847s um i'm keeping my eyes on on the tanks
7849s quite honestly um i don't think well i i
7852s think that you know the tanks dictate
7853s that what composition you're playing
7854s like are you going to commit to like han
7856s bin star compositions or like do you sub
7858s in your winston player and rely on that
7860s kind of stuff right i think that this
7863s tactical prowess of daylight ladders
7865s will once more be of utter importance
7868s against the dallas fuel because the
7869s dallas fuel i mean they've had their way
7870s so far in the kickoff clash they've been
7872s able to play their star composition
7874s without anyone really taking it to them
7876s and they're in this unique position
7878s where they're kind of just doing their
7879s thing right and they're trying to figure
7881s out like how do we play perfect are we
7883s ready for anything but at the same time
7886s it's hard to prepare for everything so
7888s maybe the l.a gladiators they've figured
7889s out like what buttons to press it's like
7891s well what happens to dallas if we play
7893s rhino compositions how are they going to
7895s react maybe that's a flaw of telescope's
7897s skate maybe maybe they haven't been able
7899s to prepare for that because they've been
7901s so dominant right so i think for the
7903s other gliders
7905s if you don't feel great in the story
7906s match up just like try to do a bunch of
7908s stuff and see if the dollar see will
7910s actually weakens to something if there's
7912s something you can expose in the way
7913s dallas fuel play their star composition
7916s because i don't truly believe that like
7918s dallas are like this immortal kind of
7919s team they're like oh they're perfect
7921s against everything all the time all play
7923s styles all pressure points it's like no
7925s you can find some weakness in dallas
7927s fuel no one has found it found it yet
7929s but that doesn't mean that it doesn't
7930s exist absolutely and keep in mind
7932s everyone watching it is a loser's map
7935s choice and that will play heavily into
7938s how you can really force your opponent's
7940s hands when it comes to certain positions
7942s as well or whether composition's not
7943s positioned so
7944s it's gonna be an exciting game ahead of
7946s us and we are ready for that one we're
7949s now heading into a very quick break and
7950s then we're sending it back over to texas
7973s [Music]
7983s [Music]
7991s [Music]
8013s [Music]
8022s [Music]
8044s [Music]
8069s [Music]
8078s day number two of the kickoff clash
8080s already off to a flying start the
8083s atlanta reign take down the san
8085s francisco shock the number one seed
8088s here in the kickoff clash they're center
8090s lower brackets and the atlanta reign
8093s move on we've got the la gladiators
8095s versus the dallas fuel whoever wins this
8098s will face the atlanta raid
8100s in a day or so
8102s upset in the first match i don't know if
8104s it's going to be an upset if either one
8106s of these teams win it's such a close
8108s battle it's hard to determine which team
8109s has the advantage very different styles
8112s between the two the dallas fuel with
8114s harm been on that zaya really defined
8116s how they want to play the game and a lot
8117s of other people have copied that while
8119s the los angeles gladiators they've
8121s almost not played desire at all but they
8123s have so many other tricks up their
8125s sleeve they're very good at the dive
8126s they've liked the doomfist they played a
8128s little bit of rush so what do you expect
8130s if you're the dallas fuel yeah it's a
8132s bit tough and two completely different
8134s styles of player like you mentioned like
8135s we've seen a ton of the fuel play the
8137s zarya the
8139s kind of creators of that comp and make
8141s um pushing it forward to be kind of no i
8144s wouldn't say perma meta but more meta
8146s than a lot of other comps we're
8147s currently seeing i've loved seeing the
8148s flexibility of rhino on the la
8150s gladiators he can play almost everything
8153s like another rookie that has come in and
8155s shocked a lot of people yeah absolutely
8157s ryan has been phenomenal especially with
8159s all the flexibility that he has for that
8161s team and that's enabled them to have
8163s everything else and when you have dps
8164s players like kevster paddy pen arms yep
8168s anything's possible anything is possible
8170s but i think we better welcome one of
8172s those teams on the stage let's take a
8174s look at them the la gladiators
8178s [Applause]
8191s a lot of players have been around for a
8192s long time and a lot of new faces kind of
8195s well that's normal for this year in the
8197s overwatch league
8198s kevster coming out first followed by
8200s parapan who's
8202s slated for the league for so long this
8205s guy took a break dominated in a
8207s different game came back there's now
8209s dominating on the class paddy pen
8211s dominated me like three years ago in
8214s world cup when i went to thailand and
8215s he's just such a good flexible player he
8218s was an interesting pick up for the
8219s gladiators because as you said he hadn't
8221s been playing much overwatch lately he
8223s had a slow start to the season but
8225s yesterday i think he had his best match
8227s so far absolutely dominated on that
8229s soldier and that is important for the
8230s gladiators because that seemed to be
8232s that missing piece for them in some of
8234s the reverse weeks that they had to deal
8235s with so far this season
8237s funny asteroid shoe in the back line as
8239s well just
8240s it does remind me of old gladiators
8242s shazam big goose an extremely
8245s uh capable back line that was the
8247s backbone of the team just refused to die
8250s a lot of the time too like they were
8251s unkillable and
8253s uh someone has two players that you
8255s could definitely rely on and chew and
8257s financially fit that role perfectly and
8259s they also have skewed on the bench like
8260s the flexibility of this roster as a
8262s whole is unreal
8263s shoe on that baptist yesterday showing
8265s that he can still make magic if we see
8267s shoe go over to that hero today you need
8270s to be afraid because that's a third dps
8271s in the server so he's just a phenomenal
8274s player but also on that anna i'm curious
8276s to see if the gladiator is going to come
8277s in with that confidence and if they're
8279s going to have an answer to the dallas
8280s fuel style
8282s i think the next team is the team that
8283s the crowd really want to see
8287s we got the dallas fuel the hometown
8289s heroes let's bring him out please put
8291s your hands together for the dallas fuel
8303s coming in as the number two seed with
8307s one
8307s loss five and one in the regular season
8310s so far and only lost was actually on
8312s land to the outlaws
8314s they've shaken that off quite easily the
8317s jitters definitely weren't there
8318s yesterday once again we see sparkle
8320s taking the stage to begin with we saw a
8323s lot of doha but sparkle really making
8325s his presence especially having that
8326s flexibility being able to move over to
8328s that may on certain maps always comes in
8331s clutch but then you got to talk about
8333s the entire team chio player of the match
8336s yesterday had a phenomenal series just
8338s keeping his team alive not dying and
8340s just having impact getting important
8342s kills and important moments in the
8343s middle of fights that's really enabling
8345s fielder and on top of that edison to
8347s really just control the match that's
8349s what you need right now in these metas
8351s is an aggressive lucio that can go
8353s straight to the back line finish people
8355s off that are trying to run away that's
8357s super low and chio is doing just that
8358s not okay that and just booping people
8361s off the edge of the map we jumped onto
8363s leisure uh um i was gonna call it
8367s um and cheers finding yeah mad value but
8370s also just oh well goodbye boop massive
8372s motorboat charge and building up beats
8374s at a record pace and that's it we're
8376s going over to liu jung tower again as
8378s the first map spoilers if chio can have
8380s that same level of impact it'll be
8381s important for them but he's going up
8383s against the gladiators funny astro on
8385s the other side who's also no slouch on
8386s that lucio yeah a veteran lucio player i
8389s cast it for the astro way way way back
8391s when on british hurricane and
8394s i'm so i'm not surprised at all that
8396s he's made it all this way to the league
8397s an extremely aggressive lucio that she
8399s wants to get in your face it might just
8401s be a lucio off in this game to be honest
8403s with you lee young tower like you said
8404s is the first map are we gonna see
8408s different things out of the fuel it
8410s doesn't really seem like it we're not
8411s seeing fearless jump in we know the
8413s gladiators with this roster specifically
8416s can play a whole bunch like an
8418s assortment of different tanks and dps
8421s the dallas fuel you kind of know what
8422s you're going in for especially if you're
8423s sparking eddie coming in that is the
8425s story of this match right now no one has
8428s been able to find an answer to the
8429s dallas fuel composition people have
8431s tried mirroring it we saw the toronto
8432s defined yes they tried to mirror the
8434s dallas fuel and had some success but
8436s eventually fell over the gladiators are
8438s they going to be the first one to crack
8440s the code of the dallas fuel of desire
8442s reaper composition and the gladiators
8445s they have that bag of tricks that they
8446s can keep pulling out they can play the
8447s doomfist they can play the winston they
8449s can even play the rush so they have all
8451s these things that they can throw at them
8452s i'm curious to see on li zhang tower is
8454s a map we see a lot of variants depending
8456s on stage
8457s what is the gladiators going to throw at
8460s this composition that feels unbeatable
8462s [Music]
8468s the hometown
8469s the favorites
8472s they are
8473s i thought you were getting quiet on me
8474s crowd you know we have you guys are
8476s popping off in the toronto fire match
8478s they're going to need you for the
8479s gladiators the last time these two teams
8481s met
8482s the gladiators with a great start 2-0 we
8485s thought oh maybe dallas fuel isn't going
8486s to be the same team
8488s executed that reverse sweep i want to
8489s see dallas fuel to get off to a fast
8491s start in this series because if you give
8493s the gladiators traction you never know
8495s they might have gotten over their yips
8497s of causing these reverse sweeps it's
8500s just
8501s two matches so far we've talked about
8502s teams reverse sweeping or getting
8504s reversed or heavy
8506s a little bit ridiculous keeps happening
8507s gates are going to unlock brian are
8509s actually coming out on the reinhardt to
8511s start us off we were asking what they
8513s were going to do to deal with this this
8514s is an interesting match to a map to play
8516s the rush you can see them going to the
8518s point they know that the dallas fuel
8520s they want to play this mid-range oh
8521s edison's down before anything happens
8523s gladiators make the rush happen dallas
8525s fuel were not ready for that one they
8526s were not you've seen kind of huddling
8528s behind the pillar
8530s you've got a lot of aoe damage the helix
8531s rockets blow people up but as soon as
8533s you have that speed boost i said astro
8535s wants to go aggressive and you wanted to
8536s run at them with this car but they did
8538s just that and dallas fuel had to back up
8539s spark quests take a little bit more time
8541s scott to set up on this echo we can get
8543s a lot of damage in but finding the
8544s angles might be tough that's what della
8546s the dallas fuel is going to try actually
8548s never mind they're not going to try and
8549s do that they're switching over to the
8550s rush cop themselves feel it goes to the
8552s baptist harmon on the reinhardt sparkle
8554s on the maze something we have not seen
8556s much from the dallas fuel so far this
8558s season all right ryan versus ryan there
8560s we go
8561s we don't see this pick at all from how
8564s i've been really you normally sub
8565s fearless in if you want a little bit of
8566s winston a little bit reinhardt edison
8568s the the four momentum you can get with
8570s this reaper is
8571s quite extravagant sometimes nice wall
8574s onto paddy no ice block available
8576s sparkle
8577s gets the better for the like with like
8578s nice lamp coming out from shoes just
8580s keeping reiner alive but he couldn't
8582s back up a nice tactical vice from the
8584s side from kevster and he gets finished
8586s off by chio but he's still netted three
8588s kills in that fight sparkle's gone
8590s pretty low and can't wait for his ice
8592s block
8593s she was able to finish him off and shoot
8595s the third dps from the glads
8597s striking home shoe on the baptist is
8600s always there to close out these fights
8602s most importantly the gladiators still
8603s have the point the ticking is still
8605s going up at 50 percent and the
8607s gladiators they have that amplification
8609s matrix but so the dallas fuel and they
8610s go first okay astro trying to calm in
8612s the camera there
8613s ryan's going ryan's got an easier time
8615s swinging around beautiful pin and hanbin
8617s goes down didn't expect that one
8619s he's expecting ryan to peek his head
8621s through the wall
8623s but
8624s mario stands strong dallas fuel they do
8627s you finds two boobs astro and
8629s parapan actually end up going down they
8630s should be able to get back to the point
8631s quickly but still big picks those are
8633s very important picks by cheerio he goes
8635s back to the spawn speeding his team
8637s forward with those picks they might
8638s actually be able to just cross this
8640s bridge if they wanted to but no they're
8641s going to opt towards going to the white
8643s room the gladiators at 90 percent they
8646s have so many ultimates to deal with this
8647s as well how are the dallas fuel going to
8649s break this one open they only have
8650s chiyo's b
8652s 10 away from han bin shatter reiner
8654s could just lay it down he does just that
8655s two people on their backs the blizzard
8657s comes through somehow that he does not
8658s connect but parapan finds sparkle in the
8661s blizzard deleted the immortality fielded
8663s now it's just a brawl on the bridge
8665s ryder comes up big and panapan just
8667s finding these final blows over time
8669s ticking down and the gladiators
8672s 100 to zero the fuel
8675s [Applause]
8678s interesting coming into this first round
8680s the dallas fuel not confident in the
8682s zaya match-up versus the rush from the
8684s los angeles gladiators i do not see this
8687s being a path forward for the dallas fuel
8689s if they want to beat the gladiators
8690s playing the rush reiner exceptional
8692s reinhardt paddy pan has been flawless on
8694s the maze so far in this tournament
8698s shoe on that baptiste i
8700s i understand getting caught off guard by
8701s the dallas fuel but i want to see them
8702s going towards this composition more
8704s stick to what you're good at find a way
8706s around it and find a way to adapt
8707s because if you end up in that mirror
8709s you're playing the gladiators game and
8710s that's an uphill battle
8715s spark has a lot of uh
8717s always to get into the back line but
8718s getting that damage in past that wall
8721s and the shield from rhino might be a
8722s little bit tough so the blade a little
8724s bit slower in its generation oh my
8727s goodness sparkle took so much damage
8728s look at that nice wall harboring in
8730s trouble someone needs to save him did
8732s squeak past him
8733s ends up going down sparkle found an
8735s opening there's one there's two kevster
8737s goes down two we'll call that three
8739s okay dallas fuel they noticed that wall
8742s go up and that was go time that's the
8744s sparkle i want to see in this series
8746s struggled early on on the genji we
8748s thought dallas fuel with spark on a
8750s genji meta it was going to be incredible
8752s but he was underwhelming and we saw them
8755s move away from that style but sparkle
8757s already getting that first pick up on
8759s shu
8759s they need to keep that aggression up
8761s don't allow the gladiators to make these
8762s kind of plays get towards the point and
8764s then rush down their back line swift
8766s rotation chio trying to go for a boob
8768s was unsuccessful
8770s sparkle now in the back line lap has
8771s been forced and ryan is already dead
8773s shio fights
8775s shio once again finding these final
8777s blows look at that 3k i'll take that
8780s that's true you know he claims his life
8781s but don't matter you need to reset
8783s anyway
8784s ego that was funny against you and then
8786s jumps off he's like ah now i've my job
8788s is done here and jumps off but that's
8789s the tempo from the dallas fuel that you
8791s need to get to look at the ultimate
8793s difference from chio to funny astro
8795s honestly across the board the sparkle
8797s blade is going to be the thing you need
8798s to look out for are they going to wait
8800s for the nano or are they going to try
8801s and surprise gladiators with this one
8803s edison tp into the high ground expect
8805s them to come out the doors but
8806s gladiators rotated to that mega health
8808s back in fact all the way around very
8810s early ice block there from parapan the
8812s blade's coming in spark was not gonna
8814s wait for that nano he just dashed
8815s straight through tight he filled a huge
8816s snake to follow up as well can they
8818s actually get the recess yes he can the
8820s nano applied
8821s kills going sparkles away the dallas
8823s fuel with a crowd behind them
8826s wipe the gladiators off the map
8828s enormous biotic grenade from fielder
8831s there because
8832s sparkle gets out the immortality field
8834s which is great with the blade but unable
8836s to follow anything else up fielder puts
8838s in that biotic nade and that's go time
8839s for the for the dallas field now
8841s gladiators they're starting to get to
8842s their ultimates but they haven't been
8844s able to find any ways to go edison's
8846s going into the room they're in the back
8847s they're all so low and edison with a
8849s triple kill against five members of the
8852s glass they didn't stand a chance
8855s rider and paddy clean up the dps of the
8857s fuel but then we have to get back to the
8858s point quite quickly and look at where
8860s humbin's positioned he's 10 away from
8863s that craft scott he's trying to play on
8864s this off angle the gladiators are going
8866s to have to rush towards the point are
8868s they going to run into a crossfire from
8870s the dallas fuel
8871s of the back line you can see the black
8872s line switch true doesn't know where to
8873s go harbin's got the gravity setting up
8875s for it the beat comes through from both
8876s teams a good pin but absorbed by the
8878s bubble there's the grab the kill from
8880s paddy though and the gladiators trying
8882s to make their stand with this blizzard
8884s shoe does fall but astro and palapan are
8887s cleaning up it was 99 when they found
8889s the flip so now
8891s with almost no ultimates in the bank
8893s gladiators need to defend
8895s either does the dallas fuel though and
8896s this is where it gets hard when the
8898s gladiators are able to choose the
8899s engagement window and the gladiators are
8901s having to walk forward how do you engage
8903s into this fight sparkles almost at this
8905s blade they're probably going to play for
8907s a disengage if the gladiators try and
8909s rush wait for them to go wait for them
8910s to use that amp usage and then disengage
8912s go back in with sparkle blade
8915s nice not using deflect there he knows
8916s he's going to get blade soon so who
8917s wants to use it when he actually
8918s activates him field is not going to have
8920s that nano but he goes to blade anyway he
8922s spots you up onto the high ground key
8924s with the more tight he feels his shoe
8925s ends up going down they do try to
8926s support for supporters field of falls
8928s but edison marching forward reiner
8930s nothing but mint speed now powder falls
8933s and the fuel of running over the glads
8935s that blade and edison just holding wm1
8938s kill off kepster and that should be it
8940s the fuel are going to claim the point a
8942s wave goodbye for edison and over time
8944s ticking through reiner comes back on the
8946s doomfist but he is quickly eliminated
8949s and now it's up to funny astro to see
8951s this one to another round
8953s but it's not gonna work
8956s the dallas fuel
8957s with a round
8959s in their back pocket
8961s now we go to control center
8963s and this summarizes what we were saying
8965s in the pre-show
8966s what is going to happen we have two very
8968s different stars going to head to head
8970s and you can see that's map specific
8972s dallas feel confident in their zaya
8973s style and i wouldn't be surprised to see
8975s that head-to-head matchup with desire
8976s versus the reinhardt again on command
8978s center both teams playing to their
8980s strengths and here's just an incredible
8982s play by chio just making just making so
8985s much work getting so much done time and
8987s time again
8988s for the dallas fuel this movement's
8990s impeccable i will say
8993s it's really good it's really nice seeing
8995s good lucio players and their movement is
8997s just insane and
8999s so fluid
9000s oh kevster on the cast
9002s no cassidy action as we roll out we saw
9005s him pick this up yesterday and got a lot
9006s of work done especially with that
9008s grenade really helps deflect that reaper
9010s and the genji from getting in your face
9012s the advantage from the gladiators with
9013s their speed boost and the reinhardt the
9015s dallas fuel don't want to take that
9016s fight in a narrow corridor they want to
9018s get around them choose their engagement
9019s window tp into the back
9022s for edison him and sparkle just want to
9024s get into the backline asap and forces
9026s with chio dying
9027s that leads cloud is such a massive
9029s advantage attempted deflection of the
9031s grenade but funny astro kill sparkle
9034s anderson also suffers the same fate at
9036s the hands of shu
9038s gladiators the point unlocks and it will
9040s be theirs though as fuel lose that first
9042s fight but look at that old charge that
9043s hamper has built up he is 20 percent
9047s towards that like uh sorry away from
9049s that grab not towards it
9051s he's been putting a lot of work but
9052s gladiators they want to force the dallas
9054s fuel through this choke chio needs to be
9056s more careful he can't be getting picked
9058s off like that but this becomes very hard
9059s patty pan's waiting with the wall you
9061s can see edison trying to go in there
9063s bait the wall out of paddy pan and then
9065s the disengage from the gladius because
9066s they know that the flank is coming from
9068s the dallas fuel through the dark room
9070s yeah look at probably looking to wall
9071s anybody that comes through server
9073s tp for medicine right on top of the
9076s gladiators nice nade though by fielder
9078s can this be followed up i don't think so
9080s as badly just holding
9081s wm one field are going pretty low
9084s i think uh edison made a little bit of a
9085s mistake there you ideally want to turn
9087s the point to the back line beautiful
9088s grab from harping though nano boost on
9090s top
9091s he was a paint all along at 5k for the
9094s fuel the gladiators did not see that one
9096s coming
9098s a bit of disconnect from edison and
9099s harbin there
9100s edison teleports in does not get the
9102s bubble instantly deleted but hanbin his
9105s brain's just too big it's too wrinkly he
9108s feels the gladiators getting overzealous
9110s and then counters with the graviton
9111s surge and closes that one out but all
9113s the ultimates up for the gladiators now
9116s played for sparkle kebster trying to
9119s dodge out the way the rest of his team
9121s aren't so lucky though that's one that's
9123s two that's three kills almost if he gets
9125s funny astro not quite so lucky but the
9127s fuel making this stand at the doors
9131s nothing left in the tank for dallas fuel
9132s right now they have the beat and the
9134s death blossom coming up while the
9135s gladiators have everything to answer it
9138s how the dallas feel gonna play this they
9139s need to be careful dealing with the wall
9141s as the gladiators are actually going to
9142s wrap away from that choice into the dark
9144s room to give themselves a favorable
9146s favorable position shadow coming up
9148s gladiators have the beats they're going
9150s to use it to go over this engagement
9151s capture doesn't receive it though and
9152s the dallas fuel know it he is so low and
9156s taken out instantly but shoe
9159s again third dps for the gladiators take
9161s out medicine and sparkle hump it now in
9164s a whole world of trouble shatter right
9166s in front of it he blocks it with the
9167s bubble can they follow up with any
9169s meaningful damage he's still being kept
9171s alive by fielder somehow in the back now
9173s ten percent away with the graph he's
9175s still doing work someone please kill
9176s hanbin had a panel falls and the dallas
9179s fuel with maintaining control of this
9182s point this whole time he eventually ends
9184s up going down but not after an
9186s unbelievable amount of pressure from the
9188s glass edison and sparkle come back with
9191s vengeance and kill off the rest of los
9194s angeles 83
9197s now for fuel unable to get that flip so
9199s the dallas fuel keep ticking up and
9201s they're going to the last fight and khan
9202s bin didn't even have to use that
9204s graviton surge after putting in so much
9205s work in that round the gladiators they
9207s don't have many answers for this one and
9209s they just walk into it graviton surge
9210s and now they want to sparkle
9213s dash dash dash reset nice pin buddy it
9216s does end up getting the kill and kevster
9218s is on the point someone had to trigger
9220s overtime they're using the window is a
9222s good little defensive tool so dallas
9223s fuel can't approach them they find the
9225s flip in the end
9227s it feels like maybe that mana was
9228s supposed to go onto han bin zaria but
9230s sparkle did a fair bit of damage in that
9231s fight
9232s aiding to a lot of old charge towards
9233s that blade gladiators getting away with
9235s that one a little bit it looked bad for
9237s them harm been switching over to the
9239s doomfist and then going back to the zaya
9241s maybe unsure or maybe trying to come
9242s back to the point a little bit faster
9244s but reiner with the shadow he's going to
9246s be wanting to play this aggressive style
9248s get that shadow on to the back line
9251s there's five percent away that's come on
9253s oh there you go shadows online looking
9255s at heartbeat wants to force those bubble
9257s spurs there's a lot of people just
9258s jumping around him everybody with odm
9261s gear it seems like nice sleep though the
9263s shadow from harm been a shadow onto
9264s heartbeat was good enough to result in a
9266s kill
9268s hand followed up 83 now for the glads
9272s dallas fuel need one fight the blade is
9274s online paddy pan has the ability with
9276s his wall and his ultimate to be able to
9278s force the dallas fuel in the direction
9280s that they want keep an eye out for that
9281s one and kepster with the high noon this
9283s is gonna be hard for dallas school to
9284s engage extremely difficult they've got
9286s the beat though that might be their tool
9287s the blizzard comes out hanbin is trapped
9290s the dead eye from the side the
9292s gladiators unleash their wall of damage
9296s and 99 will tick over to 100 and the
9298s gladiators
9300s will claim control
9303s a little bit of difference there from
9304s the gladiators in the washington justice
9306s yesterday dallas fuel able to close out
9308s those fights with that graviton surge
9309s that is the fight that went away for the
9311s dallas fuel for me when khan bin got
9313s that triple graviton search they just
9315s weren't able to close it out with that
9316s missed nano
9317s gladiators turk taking the first map
9320s looking good and you can see this
9322s head-to-head evolving as we go on are
9325s the gladiators going to keep continuing
9327s to play this rush against this zarya
9329s style of the dallas fuel as we go
9331s further on to different maps
9333s hybrid is up next
9336s i don't want to say it but we'll bring
9337s out maybe bring it up next map that
9340s reverse sweep is possible if the glass
9342s get two zombies
9345s okay i know i'll calm down for the
9347s moment i'll do that in this break i'll
9349s see in a second
9356s uh
9358s [Applause]
9379s foreign
9381s [Music]
9395s [Applause]
9396s [Music]
9413s [Music]
9429s so
9431s [Music]
9479s [Music]
9485s so
9486s [Music]
9515s [Music]
9525s oh
9526s [Music]
9537s so
9540s [Music]
9557s [Music]
9583s who's that support
9586s it is
9592s it's on the high ground what do they do
9594s here sure has taken so much damage he's
9596s been pushed down to the low ground and
9597s the aggression is just enough that's
9599s gonna be havana going to the gladiators
9601s and we are going the distance here
9604s what
9606s that is so good from shu what a beast in
9609s the background wait wait it was getting
9610s pushed off the point it's still winnable
9615s it doesn't even come out the gliders are
9617s coming back no way
9619s this is huge
9620s and the gladiators squeak over the line
9624s that that's how you get those insane
9626s statistics
9630s shoe is just absolutely insane oh he
9633s gets shut down
9634s finds it nero he's in shock
9637s what a pretty performance for an mvp
9639s candidate here
9641s take a sip of your milk or whatever that
9643s was you deserve it and what's going
9645s through my head over and over is that
9647s ant matrix play from shoe
9650s what a individual clutch
9654s it's gonna be desperation now for the
9655s glasses
9657s with the ammeter shoes
9659s being taken out i don't believe that
9662s you have got to be kidding me
9667s a world class
9669s batista player
9671s shoe showing up big once again on that
9674s first map like
9675s he's in the kill feed i think more than
9677s the dps right now the gladiators well
9679s funny you say that because he had 12
9681s final boys in the last map and the next
9683s person above him was kevster at 15. yeah
9685s everyone else on the gladiators was
9687s below him he is absolutely getting all
9689s the final blows for this team and he's
9691s just so dominant in these rush
9692s compositions that's what he was so good
9694s at last year as well he's just always
9696s having those moments those clutches
9698s after clutches it feels like every time
9700s a fight devolves shu just somehow ends
9702s up being alone and just shooting down on
9705s everybody so absolutely phenomenal play
9707s we're heading over to king's row with no
9709s substitutions jack which means that
9711s we're probably going to see something
9713s similar that we just saw on liang tower
9716s how are they going to play the rush
9717s what's a little bit mad actually is the
9719s dallas fuel well they lost the first map
9721s so they chose this one they chose to go
9723s against
9725s gladiators on a more rush centric map
9727s they
9728s kind of predict what ryan is going to
9729s play he's going to be playing that ryan
9731s they're gonna be running people down
9732s with paddy on the main
9734s funnily enough in the series that we
9735s just watched the atlanta rain versus san
9738s francisco shocked the atlanta tri
9740s actually played the zaya composition
9741s versus the san francisco shock rush and
9744s the san francisco shock had nowhere to
9746s go if you can play the right way with
9747s your zarya compositions make it
9749s impossible for them to run anyone down
9751s it can work very well so it's not too
9753s surprising from the dallas fuel but they
9755s need to prove it's going to work and it
9757s has to come down to it are the
9758s gladiators going to try that rush style
9760s again on king's row
9763s science points yes
9765s that is for sure we know dallas fuel are
9767s running they're on the defense so again
9768s same kind of thing edison reaper sparkle
9772s on the genji
9773s humping last round though
9776s just the old charge generation was just
9778s absurd after the first first fight he
9781s had 80
9782s towards that graph like unprecedented
9786s pace he's just getting so much energy
9789s he's so heavily in the front lines that
9790s he gets energy and he's just able to
9792s beat people down so the gladiators they
9794s need to find a way if hanbin does that
9796s get that energy to isolate him and get
9797s him down and you saw you know ryan is
9799s willing to use solo shutters they're
9801s using a willing to use may ultimates to
9803s close it out kemps are taking some shots
9805s here unable to get anything done and it
9808s is true they're going to play the rush
9810s style and walk up these right stairs as
9812s we saw the san francisco shock do
9814s yeah down to the statue trying to whoa
9817s how did you get that far up in the air
9819s straight to the form the spawn for the
9820s gladiators though and uh edison chio yes
9823s in a sec
9825s wow okay this fuel tried to dive in the
9827s back line they were like okay we'll just
9828s return to our own spawn and uh hey hey
9830s hey how you doing
9832s it feels like they saw shoes in the back
9834s line decided that they might be able to
9835s isolate him before the fight even begins
9837s but gladiators were ready for it as soon
9839s as they saw that move go by the dallas
9841s fuel they come back to their spawn
9843s dallas fuel ends up in the gladiator
9845s spawn and they get a very quick capture
9848s three minutes and now they have 5 30
9850s remaining in the map just to cap the
9851s second point
9853s very quick
9854s point a captures today already on king's
9856s row
9857s add that to the books
9860s this is ideally where the idea just
9861s wants to hold that score
9863s or not hold they want to push the card
9864s but it's very beneficial for the right
9866s to be in these small corridors you want
9867s to push up use that mayweather isolate
9869s handmaid and harmon's got to be careful
9873s [Music]
9875s did not stand a shard sparkle already
9878s using that deflect ryan is just swinging
9881s he's charging he's getting kills
9884s oh my goodness the dallas fuel need to
9886s find a footing in this game they've got
9888s nothing to stand on and the shoe
9891s and matrix available reiner he's got a
9894s shadow coming up they've got vise the
9896s gladiators could roll onto second quite
9898s easily and the dallas fuel they need to
9900s find a way to get into these fights
9902s because it feels like the gladiators are
9903s just running them down before dallas
9905s fuel has even managed to get energy onto
9907s hanbin with all these ultimates is going
9909s to be hard for the dallas fuel they need
9910s to get value from this builder nano
9913s shadow might be a little bit tough to
9915s hear you got to deal with the bubbles
9916s genji's jumping in the air edison can
9917s you shift
9919s if he just lines him up and knocks him
9920s down should be pretty easy dallas fuel
9922s still needs to contest there's the nano
9923s is on edison but a big shot of hits too
9925s can they finish off hard bit not quite
9927s he's so low there's a visor on the side
9929s from kepster through the window and a
9930s blizzard to isolate the dallas fuel they
9932s need to be able to touch the point
9934s there's a one meter to go and edison is
9936s in the subway right now had to use the
9938s wraith to get out the graviton surge
9941s from the dallas fuel is good spark which
9942s is in the blade on top he's eventually
9944s getting the kills the beam from astro
9946s wasn't quite enough to sustain them
9948s through
9950s and the dallas fuel they made their
9951s stand
9953s on point b
9954s poor ultimate usage from the gladiators
9956s there they use the amplification matrix
9958s and the visor all the way back at this
9959s subway station so the dallas fury will
9961s just pull back and then paddy drops down
9963s the the blizzard but no one can follow
9964s it up so everything was just thrown with
9966s no synergy so the dallas view are able
9968s to sustain through it come back with
9970s their ultimates with the han bin
9971s graviton and the chiop so now gladiators
9974s they have nothing to work for them right
9975s now how are they going to route to close
9977s the distance on the dallas fuel you see
9978s them taking this high ground
9980s taking the high ground away nice little
9982s boot great boot isolates people shoe in
9984s trouble has used the immortality field
9985s but edison's chasing after him
9987s what a fantastic setup by chio yet again
9990s these boots have been supreme
9993s dallas you're still holding strong oh
9997s close
10000s i don't think that the fuel would have
10003s i don't think that you would have been
10004s able to stand that if that went through
10005s that would have been
10006s disaster of the week especially seeing
10008s as the gladiators are in a bad spot now
10010s they have to close so much distance
10012s to get to the dallas fuel and dallas can
10014s set up a trap at any one of these
10016s corners they can choose the engage
10017s window where the gladiators it feels
10019s like they're just gonna have to walk
10020s into them they're going the exact same
10022s routing that they did last time it is a
10024s good route because it's hard to oh
10027s the same thing maybe he's going the same
10029s way luckily there was a small gap in the
10031s wall so he's able to jump around it
10033s funny astro going pretty low should be
10034s fine
10036s the dallas fuel backing up playing the
10037s corner only one way for guardians to go
10039s there's the wall humming in trouble got
10041s a bubble not a second one shoe using the
10043s window for himself once more and taking
10045s care of the reaper a couple of meters to
10048s go the fuel need to touch but they're
10050s unable to do so point b unlocks
10053s now all eyes to the final one three and
10056s a half minutes to go and once more
10059s reiner and parapan
10061s so close to these holes these are
10063s mountain or round ending alt blizzard
10065s near the spawn you could isolate hanbin
10067s and then they're good to go
10070s dallas fuel have so many ultimates
10071s coming up they got the harm and grab
10073s they've got the genji blade they're
10074s going to look for that combination again
10076s you can see han bin looking for it not
10077s wanting to pop it too early
10079s gladiators are posturing so far back
10081s waiting for this plate he eventually
10083s gets it the immortality field is gone
10085s sparkle with two and another one
10088s those stats
10089s getting padded by sparkle
10092s nice combo
10093s they save that grab
10096s and the beat for the next fight
10098s a good stand and what's this
10101s a trap
10103s we've got harmon on the high ground but
10104s hey what's this as well the gladiators
10106s they're having a respectful high ground
10108s fight right here hanbin's waiting for
10109s the grab i don't know if he's expecting
10111s the gladiators to be up here with him oh
10112s there's the shadow but it's blocked by
10113s the bubble perfectly played by han pin
10115s but unfortunately rhino
10117s kills spark with the fire strike in the
10119s small corridor a blizzard's been used
10121s and fielder and heartbeat are in trouble
10122s shio's finished off by kepster what was
10125s or looked like another play from the
10127s fuel and hanbin
10129s was thwarted by patapan's blizzard and
10131s reiner just standing strong with the
10133s shield gladiators closing the distance
10135s right now two minutes remaining dallas
10137s feel they have the beat to get out of
10138s the spawn door but the person i'm
10140s looking for is edison he's going to need
10141s to get high value with this death boss
10143s because kemp's is going to be pumping
10144s out damage from the back line with the
10146s visor
10147s i'll show he's got the beat to rely on
10149s looks like ryan wants to back up hasn't
10150s got a lot of shield left so can't really
10153s withstand all that incoming damage
10156s this is their chance to go kevster maybe
10158s looks for a small flying bass to be
10159s careful edison had to rate them out
10160s pretty early wall comes up charger from
10162s ryden doesn't find all too much and a
10164s death blossom is taken care of kepster
10167s he's making his mark he's got the window
10168s he's got the visor and he's got the
10170s kills heartbreak goes down a triple for
10172s kepster
10173s and round completion
10176s for the gladiators
10177s with time to spare a minute and 40 on
10180s the clock
10182s edison getting it jumping the gun that a
10183s little bit too much using that death
10185s boss and while the beat was still just
10187s lingering on there for the gladiators
10189s and was unable to get any of those kills
10191s and the gladiators the thing i want to
10192s highlight from them is the routing they
10194s seem to have great understanding of how
10196s they want to move around this map
10198s prioritizing high ground and not
10200s allowing the dallas fuel to set up the
10201s way that they want i don't think i've
10203s i've been playing this game for six
10204s years i've never seen a fight happen on
10206s that top cat walk on the third point
10207s that's that has to be a first
10210s incredible play by the gladiators you
10212s know that they are prepared and they
10213s know how to play this composition
10214s against what the dallas fuel are
10215s throwing at them
10218s just makes it
10220s just so difficult with the may you saw
10222s you could not only put the mayweather up
10223s you've got ryan is just standing there
10224s with a shield that top catwalk fight
10227s ryan got a flame strike i guess powder
10229s pat maybe get sparked with an icicle too
10233s and the blizzard was perfect just throws
10234s it straight away you can see on the hud
10237s in the top right oh you can just see
10238s them now that both of them throws trying
10240s to get away humpband had already used
10242s one of his bubbles to block the shatter
10244s so he can't use it for himself to get
10246s out and he can't use it on fielder to
10248s also escape paddy pan's been so
10250s impressive to me on this may not just
10252s his ultimates and his your icicles that
10254s are impressive but his walls it's a
10255s surprisingly difficult ability to use
10258s especially when you have the dallas fuel
10259s so spread out
10261s you can only really iso isolate hanbin
10263s and he's done such a good job of it so
10265s far really making it difficult for the
10267s dallas fuel they're going to play the
10268s same thing on their offense confident in
10271s their ability to play it and the
10272s gladiators doing the same
10282s stuck there but unfortunately not for
10284s the gladiators
10286s now they can march on forward they can
10287s take whatever space they so choose
10288s harman has to burn bubbles ryan can just
10290s hold the right click but you saw that's
10292s what dallas feel wanted we saw the drop
10293s from the gladiators and rhino on to the
10295s point now when they rotate up dallas
10297s fuel take that positioning they've got
10298s hanbin on the point already slowly
10300s taking ticks
10302s they get the first one yes they do
10304s they're actually trying to deal with
10305s spark on the side you can see his blue
10307s silhouette he has to learn a one away
10309s with uh
10310s kepster why he picks up a health back so
10312s he's more than safe
10314s kev said is still on a very annoying
10316s flank of course in this top window you
10318s can just shoot everybody at the back
10319s ryan is in a little bit of trouble but
10321s kevs is still pumping out that damage
10322s harming goes pretty low there's the wall
10324s to separate the team and harm been
10326s caught on the other side field it did
10327s not have a sight line as soon as that
10329s wall came up
10331s he praised him just a second ago and
10332s another fantastic use of the wall by
10334s padapan
10335s the fuel they burn a minute at their
10337s time bank they've got a couple of ticks
10338s to work with here
10340s which is all good can edison find much
10342s more he did kill the lamp but that's
10343s about it kev's actually going pretty low
10345s fielder comes up big with a
10347s with a nade and just a single shot
10349s fielded just putting in so much work he
10351s may have gone down but edison's going to
10352s be able to finish this fight surely nice
10355s wait that wall stopped edison getting
10357s pinned and now they're just cleaning up
10360s the dallas fuel they're going to be able
10361s to claim point a and get the payload
10362s going sneaky sneaky fielder waiting in
10365s those stairs i don't think anybody
10367s expected him to be there ends up
10370s peeking out getting that biotic nade
10371s gets the punish and then hits an
10373s incredible sleep you're going to see it
10374s right here for you what is he doing here
10376s but gets the hit gets the biognade hits
10378s that shot gets the sleeve under shoe as
10380s well you can't ask for more from your
10382s hand player you sleep on shoe you can't
10384s use immortality field you can't use the
10386s regenerative burst the shift
10392s [Applause]
10396s from the rafters now they're applying
10397s he's got targets in his sight doesn't
10398s want to dive into the window though but
10400s he might have to rein his dead shoe to
10402s follow there's two for sparkle
10406s dallas fuel all the meanwhile dealing
10407s with the fight kept has got the kill but
10409s it don't matter edison's going to clean
10411s up
10411s nice nano blade and fuel's ultimate
10414s economy once again looking strong they
10416s only need to use two and they have three
10418s for this next one great presence of mind
10420s by sparkle not rushing into that
10422s corridor they were waiting for him waits
10424s until reiner gets low and punishes but
10426s the gladiators are coming back with so
10427s many ultimates paddy pen i'm sure he's
10429s looking for this male ultimate he's
10431s looking for a wall onto hanbin to
10432s isolate him but edison on the rafters as
10434s well
10435s why do they keep meeting up here
10438s secret being spawned not sure
10440s shatter for ryan he's lining up spot
10442s sparkle jumping up to the high ground he
10444s wants to be able to find fielder he gets
10445s him five strike lands but a perfectly
10447s time beat from chio keeps him in the
10449s fight
10450s parapan using that blizzard but edison
10452s jumps straight to the back and kills
10453s kevster two dps dead make that three
10456s parapan falls
10458s and a perfectly executed die from the
10459s dallas fuel edison making the space in
10462s the back the entirety of the guides look
10464s around to try and deal with him but it
10466s is sparkling fielder once again cleaning
10469s up house fielder slept the may the mate
10472s can't chase down fielder and sparkle
10473s gets the execute kill and edison coming
10475s in clutch with that death blossom
10477s getting in so much damage it costs him
10479s his life but that's what he needs to do
10481s give that space so that sparkle
10482s infielder can do that clean up kessler
10484s with this visor hanbin with that
10486s graviton surge the the los angeles glad
10488s is they want to get two fights on this
10490s point so they're trying to hold this
10491s corner but they know they're giving
10492s respect to hundred funny astros there
10494s before fights even begun
10496s he's dead kevster desperation using that
10498s visor to try and get some more work done
10499s but a nice grab on the payload from
10501s hanbin ends reiner's life quick sharp
10505s the dallas fuel what are they nearing
10506s scott well i'll tell you it's a nano
10508s blade they've got four minutes to go and
10510s the final corner has been approached the
10513s car so close to being delivered cycling
10515s these ultimates perfectly i wouldn't be
10517s surprised the dallas will go very early
10518s when they see them walk out these four
10519s doors not everybody coming over blade
10521s sparkle jumping in panapan goes into the
10523s ice spot ryden is off the map doesn't
10525s mean sparklers get a reset but it don't
10527s matter there's another two shoes in
10529s spawn in the fuel
10532s off the back of spark was played once
10534s again
10536s they cab three minutes and 30 seconds
10539s in the time bank
10541s this is what the crowd came here to see
10546s doing what he does best the dallas fuel
10549s as well showing a perfect cycling of
10551s ultimates they have the graviton surge
10553s they have the death blossom they have
10554s the nano blade just using them one after
10556s another after another winning team fight
10558s gladiators just don't have an answer
10560s with the may if they can't choose the
10562s tempo of the fight they just fall over
10565s if they can't get value from that wall
10566s hanbin is able to move around freely and
10568s they can't punish anything that the
10570s dallas fuel is doing
10572s oh
10574s the gladiators
10575s looking like they're going to want to
10576s come out on the rush again on their
10578s attack when they're able to set the
10579s tempo how are the dallas fuel going to
10581s adjust to try and deal with this last
10582s time they went for the touch the spawn
10584s challenge
10585s did not work very well
10587s right oh he tried to go for the charge
10590s of course you can cancel them now but
10592s just be hopped at the very end
10595s rough stuff
10597s yeah three minutes and 30 seconds on
10598s king's row pretty impressive these days
10601s i mean people have gotten so good at
10603s defending at that last point but the
10605s cycling holds from the fuel
10608s clean through both point two and point
10610s three kings raw is one of those maps
10612s though that once you hit that overtime
10614s wick it starts burning down it becomes
10616s very easy to start snowballing through
10618s so if you're the gladiators you just
10619s need to win that first fight start
10621s everything moving and you can easily
10622s start getting very very far and make
10624s that 340 not that important
10626s oh
10627s sonic arrow to reveal anybody in the
10629s theater and then a widow switch sparkle
10631s narrowly escaping with his life
10634s lucky kev stayed at a body shot
10637s cartoon the same thing scott but look at
10639s this
10641s also
10642s theater has been taken hard been in
10643s trouble but ryan has got his back to
10645s hanbin not where you want to be son geo
10647s does fall but with rhino going down
10649s there's so much less protection for the
10650s gladiators from what uh
10652s roam around
10653s in retirement field used to get padded
10655s pan out of his antiques
10657s that's fuel now burning time down glad
10660s have 60 seconds to go
10661s there's the adjustment by dallas they go
10663s aggressive and then they come back but
10665s the gladiators are coming back fast with
10667s some of the deaths of the dallas fuel
10669s rain is on the point
10671s the dallas fuel are being forced back
10672s but kevs is in their back line but
10673s edison is hunting him down
10675s luckily as that
10677s healing station
10679s by his side the action is actually
10680s happening below him so he has no sight
10682s on this whatsoever astro jumping to the
10684s back line killing the fielder
10686s and doing the damage why not give it to
10688s the support if he's doing things like
10690s this the 1v1 versus astro does he manage
10692s to win it a couple of punches will do
10694s him no shoes there to the clean and
10696s gladiators they do manage to wipe the
10698s fuel take point a get the car going but
10702s with almost no time left the dallas fuel
10705s need to win this next fight
10707s and they will stop them from advancing
10709s making miracles happen there but the
10711s dallas fuel are slowly ticking up with
10713s their ultimates importantly they did
10715s commit the fielder nano into that one so
10717s they will not have that nano blade
10718s coming into this fight the gladiators
10721s they have the amplification matrix i
10722s think if you're the dallas fool you need
10724s to start playing aggressive start
10725s getting some of these ultimates out of
10727s the gladiators because if you try and
10728s walk in actually they've got a different
10729s idea they're going to take the high
10730s ground choose the ability to drop and
10732s they're going early walls already been
10734s used parapan tried to stop them going
10736s through one window but they went through
10737s the other overtime is here reiner is
10739s separated from the rest of his team the
10740s lamp has already been used from shu to
10742s try and help himself get kills sparkle
10744s is dead but the graviton surge is good
10746s the follow-up damage is also there a
10748s huge snake by fury step off the payload
10752s the dallas fuel at the very end come up
10754s massive sparkle may have died but
10755s hambin's grab on top of field as nade
10759s secured them the payload and the
10761s gladiators
10763s they know exactly where they need to
10764s defend for the fuel with a three minute
10767s and thirty second time bank are looking
10769s good
10770s dallas fuel showing they're smart i
10772s think they i thought they were going to
10773s have to disengage from the ultimates of
10774s the gladiators but they're mitigating
10776s them by taking and routing around them
10778s forcing the gladiators into a position
10779s they didn't want to be in harm hanbin
10781s incredible graviton surge and this is
10784s very attackable if you're the dallas
10785s fuel 330 in the bank
10788s all they got to do is get some of their
10790s ultimates up we talked about the cycling
10791s of it before play smart don't let the
10793s gladiators start running you down
10795s because gladiators have to go first they
10797s are the rush composition you can't just
10799s allow the dallas fuel to
10801s maneuver around you
10803s let's see if the gladiators have mid-map
10804s adaptation that they're going to need
10807s right here
10811s remember fielder opened up last time
10812s around just sneaky hiding away where
10815s that mega health pack is
10817s nade a couple of shots onto the soldier
10819s and then sleeping shoe
10821s that's how the glad uh that's how fuel
10823s did the last time around
10826s clouds may be a little bit more wary
10827s this time
10829s i think harvard's trolling us playing
10830s the winston
10832s yes no zarya
10834s tv forward
10836s the game ends here regardless scott
10838s dallas looking to tie the series up
10841s getting filled onto this high ground
10843s he's very defensible up here the
10844s gladiators have no real means of getting
10846s up to punish him so the dallas fuel what
10848s we saw from the last time is they wanted
10849s to get home in on the point but reiner
10851s not giving them that avenue this time
10854s they're stuck on the floor though edison
10855s getting caught by kemp's device
10856s yeah very early wall edison falls
10860s sparkling a little 1v1 with a asterisk
10862s just back away there's a lot of time to
10864s burn those scott it's not the gladiator
10865s gladiators are on such a small clock
10868s but three minutes 30 that goes away very
10871s very quickly
10873s and dallas fuel they need to be careful
10874s they can't keep getting kicked like that
10877s i still flying from sparkle go time no
10880s that wall not so great the rest of fuel
10882s just walk around it and now palapa
10884s playing back with rhino
10886s attempted charge in able to feel burnt
10889s super early anderson from the side he's
10890s going to be able to destroy it and
10892s harvey finishes the job killing off
10894s rhino the dallas fuel looking good main
10897s tank removed for the glad shoe nearing
10900s the window but it doesn't matter sparkle
10903s reset of the reset manages to kill astro
10906s and palapan honda may have fallen but
10908s the point is theirs
10911s the gladiators are going to have to hold
10912s the archway to keep them in this map
10915s it gets difficult from here the dallas
10917s fuel coming up on all of those ultimates
10919s we said they can cycle them the
10920s gladiator is going to have to come up
10922s with answers i really like this play by
10923s sparkle step up get that ultimate you
10926s want to get that blade early and it also
10928s makes it slower for the gladiators to
10929s approach take as much space away from
10931s them so they cannot dictate the the idea
10934s of how they're going to attack this
10936s nanoblade coming up for the fuel could
10938s be there
10939s map ending ultimate combo
10942s pads going fairly low edison's in the
10944s back there's the nano he's on sparkle
10946s he's pulled the blade he's found the
10948s support shoes dead lamp god now reiner
10951s has to put himself on the payload but in
10953s the go go mata
10954s the rest of your team's already dead the
10956s dallas fuel pushing the payload home
10960s they claim king's row and tie the series
10962s up
10965s dallas fuel showing why no one has
10967s really had an answer to their zaya
10968s composition i was a little worried about
10971s them against the rush of the los angeles
10972s gladiators but showing how they want to
10974s play against it interestingly and
10977s interestingly enough the sparkle genji
10979s is this weird cycling of the blade but
10982s also he can get onto the back of shoe
10984s and punish him how many times did he get
10986s into the back line and four shoes lamp
10988s before the fight had even begun then
10990s isolating rhino phenomenal play by
10992s dallas fuel so far and
10994s this is looking to be a series that's
10996s going to go back and forth we've
10997s definitely got a series on our hands
10999s it's glad map choice up next we're going
11002s to jump to a quick break this is a
11004s series you're not going to want to miss
11019s [Music]
11028s [Music]
11038s um
11040s [Music]
11053s [Music]
11071s [Music]
11083s so
11085s [Music]
11102s me
11103s [Music]
11132s [Music]
11168s so
11171s [Music]
11177s oh
11179s [Music]
11193s [Music]
11197s do
11208s hey
11210s [Music]
11256s [Music]
11263s do you think you know which team win the
11266s kickoff clash do you well you can prove
11269s it submit your art celebrating the team
11271s you think will be
11273s will be victorious for a chance to be
11275s featured on the fan art gallery there's
11277s a ton of talented artists out there and
11279s a lot of artists in the crowd actually a
11281s lot of fantastic signs i've been seeing
11282s today
11284s there's so many great signs out here
11285s great artists they've all been doing
11287s such an incredible job
11289s but man this match is getting me hyped
11291s and it's only getting better jack we're
11293s only at the beginning we've seen the
11295s clash of styles but now we move on to
11298s escort and this is where it gets
11300s interesting because
11302s teams start going into their
11303s uncomfortable style i
11305s am surprised that we're not seeing the
11308s los angeles gladiators take them to
11309s circa royale they've been an incredibly
11311s good team on that they sub in space to
11313s play that sigma and no one's been able
11315s to crack that
11317s but they're actually going to go to
11318s watchpoint gibraltar and that's why
11319s you're seeing the subs that you're
11320s seeing right now ahn's in for pattypan
11322s obviously to play that widowmaker he's
11324s been so dominant since 2020 and he's
11326s looking to make it happen again and when
11328s you see ons you see skewed here on this
11331s map because he like that break
11333s specialist for the gladiators
11335s yeah especially on watchpoint gibraltar
11337s a lot of high ground you want to deny
11338s using the whip shot even using the bash
11340s it does look poop you back a little bit
11342s but
11344s arns versus gurio who's stepping in for
11347s edison gurio's widowmaker yesterday was
11351s next
11352s level
11354s watchpoint gibraltar is going to be a
11356s hard one because we've seen so many
11357s widowmakers go back and forth
11359s and guru as a rookie is coming up
11361s against
11362s a hard player to go up against an arms
11364s but fearless the man that we've been
11366s wanting more of this season coming in to
11368s play the winston as we would expect but
11371s from their match yesterday against the
11372s toronto defiant jack as much as they got
11374s the win it did not look flawless and
11376s they have not been good on this dive
11378s composition so far this season
11380s who's the chance to prove it right now
11383s that it is clean and concise this is
11385s you don't really play anything but dive
11387s on watchpoint gibraltar you need control
11389s of the high ground like you need that
11390s winston
11391s reiner versus fearless
11394s i'm do i'm just excited for the
11395s widowmakers i'm going to be really
11396s honest with you courier versus aunts
11398s sparkles staying in
11400s so that's going to be nice to see
11403s i wonder how they're going to be uh
11404s setting up reiner can we we've seen a
11406s little bit of we see doomfist on this
11408s map just a little bit it's been so so
11411s it's not as good as the winston the
11412s winston has that verticality plus that
11414s winston bubble which protects your
11415s widows protects yourself and allows you
11417s to move around the map more i wouldn't
11419s expect either of these players to move
11420s towards that doomfist
11422s the sparkle kev's the head-to-head is
11424s going to be interesting i think that
11425s might be a determining factor as well
11427s because sparkle heavily prioritizes
11429s playing that genji while kevster prefers
11431s to play that tracer will we see a mirror
11433s of either of those heroes or are they
11435s going to stick to their comforts and how
11437s is that going to change things because
11439s we saw in our earlier series the genji
11441s is a great way to assist your widowmaker
11444s in the widow head to head because the
11445s widow has to always be fearful of that
11447s genji coming from anywhere at any moment
11449s so
11451s the dive mirror i believe favors the
11453s gladiators they've been better at it so
11455s far this season they've looked cleaner
11456s on it and they've played a lot more of
11458s it while the dallas fuel have very
11459s rarely gone towards this look
11464s watchpoint gibraltar third map
11466s one piece in the series so far
11469s i would be a little bit scared
11472s i wouldn't quite be fearless
11474s if i was the dallas fuel jack and that
11476s was good
11477s and that's that's been the big story for
11479s me at least with the dallas fuel for uh
11481s coming into the season and
11483s comparing it to dallas fuel we've seen
11486s previously in previous years fearless
11488s has always been just an absolute
11490s animal on that pick quite literally
11492s right but
11494s we come into 2022
11497s and fearless is not really the same as
11499s he used to be whether that's a shift in
11501s meta or or a shift in play style for the
11503s for the dallas fuel we've not seen that
11505s same success
11507s and if ryan matches him and beats him
11508s out like that is a another rookie taking
11511s down a veteran player
11513s it's a very different style than what we
11515s saw in the 6v6 matchup you have that
11517s other tank to protect you as you engage
11519s to turn for your back line it feels like
11520s felix hasn't felt perfectly comfortable
11523s playing that style and the entirety of
11524s the dallas field haven't feel
11525s comfortable playing that style
11527s we see guru coming out on that
11529s widowmaker i doubt arlens is going to
11531s stick to this symmetra and kev's on
11534s their sojourn but
11535s the widow matchup has been one that has
11537s defined the watchpoint gibraltar so much
11539s we saw kai go absolutely crazy and win
11541s atlanta reign the map almost personally
11544s yesterday can guru have that same level
11547s of impact or is he going to fall to the
11549s veteran presence of
11551s arms you go we see the switch
11553s from arms away from the sim just wanted
11555s to tp on to the bridge
11559s small difference there in
11561s kev's to genji versus sparkle tracer no
11564s it's all about the widowmakers on this
11565s first point it's not what i expected i
11567s was expecting sparkle to be on the genji
11568s and kepster on the tracer so sparkle he
11571s has shown a very proficient tracer over
11572s the last couple of years really making a
11575s name for himself with certain plays but
11577s kevs are on the genji we haven't seen a
11579s whole lot of it but it's kepster he'll
11581s be fine
11582s yeah he'll be more than okay
11584s oh
11586s off screen
11588s sparkle takes one to the dome from arn's
11592s it's a lot of pressure away from arms at
11594s this point gurio though taking out
11595s kevster okay
11598s widowmaker's
11599s already making their mark
11601s on point a gibraltar
11603s it's an important killer if you're a
11604s rookie like gurio on this stage he's had
11607s some up and down performances so far but
11608s getting that early pick that could have
11610s easily snowballed away from the dallas
11612s fuel with that pick from hans but slows
11614s down that push
11615s body shot
11617s onto arms does need a liquor healer
11619s there you go
11623s someone needs to get on this card and
11624s it's going to be arms for them you need
11626s to get this card pushed so that when you
11627s get that high ground presence you can
11630s solidify on the capture but the dallas
11633s fuel are getting a little bit aggressive
11634s here on the back of field
11637s very early primal rage instantly slept
11639s sparkly is there actually to protect him
11640s okay and make sure they can't line up
11642s and just kill him answers 30 hp needs
11644s some assistance pulse bomb from sparkles
11646s good though
11647s takes our shoe
11649s a lot less healing now for the
11651s gladiators means rider has to play
11652s rather safe
11654s sights active for the fuel they're
11656s exactly where the glass of position
11660s gladiators have their own ultimates now
11661s reiner has that primal rage he's going
11663s to be able to engage the dallas fuel
11665s setting themselves up in the server room
11667s and then you have that crossfire from
11668s gurio
11669s on the back of these rafters and what
11671s that allows you to do is wherever the
11672s gladiators go someone's going to be
11674s protected and able to do everything
11676s right has taken that space but the
11678s imprecise is done for arms and this is
11680s going to force dallas fuel into the
11681s corners
11682s gurio does not have his active and this
11684s will be go time for gladiators again
11686s nano boost for both teams
11688s kev's they're going to light people up
11689s if he can he has a reset off fearless
11691s with the help of rhino the blade comes
11694s in guri on the other side and on the
11695s wrong side of kempster
11697s two kills for the genji the payload's
11700s still moving gladiators have to chew
11702s through this rally but shu finishing off
11704s sparkle should be good enough for huge
11706s sitting on a rally of his own the
11708s gladiators still pushing the payload but
11710s dallas feel with a very close spawn the
11712s back line of the dallas fuel stuck in
11713s the server room right now almost
11715s isolated and the gladiators coming but
11717s there's only one minute remaining and
11718s they only have the rally they're going
11720s to need to rally around each other and
11722s move towards the server because so far
11724s they've enabled the dallas fuel back
11725s line to just sit there and that's been a
11727s problem
11728s oh another body shot seguro doesn't
11730s quite find the head shot sparkle now
11733s trying to dice with the aim
11736s again so close to each other they're
11737s just not finding
11739s their picks on either or sparkle you
11742s only have 92 hp
11744s you've got to be careful still huge
11746s knees by the way oh my word off screen
11748s shooters hit three man anti-fearless
11750s fielder and shio
11751s were antenated and then rhino aqueducts
11754s just finished that up there you go
11755s instantly
11756s that one ability ended the dallas fuels
11759s life and
11760s there you go checkpoint a complete doors
11762s are open using that rally from sku to
11764s force the dallas fuel into a bad
11765s position dallas you'll get caught on the
11768s rotation by an enormous lead by shu and
11770s this is just easy pickings from kepster
11772s on the genji as the dallas fuel get
11774s those forward spawns that is an
11776s important set of picks for the los
11777s angeles gladiators because as you can
11779s see now they can set up this second
11780s point exactly how they want to the card
11783s is moving and the dallas fuel are going
11784s to need to use these ultimates to get in
11786s sparkle throws a pulse bomb but goes
11788s wide they needed that pick so now it
11790s comes down to fearless to get something
11791s done with this primal rage i think he'll
11793s reiner but
11794s meaningless damage if it's going to get
11796s healed up instantly
11797s soon skewed on the case
11800s still arms and guri i really haven't had
11802s a strong 1v1 phyllis going in the primal
11804s rage kepster can just dash out if he
11806s really needs to in fact it doesn't
11807s matter sparkle is there to defend
11808s fearless as he sleeps but the dallas
11811s fuel might want to go again they have a
11813s nano they can send him in but kevin here
11815s in this nano blade and they're gonna pop
11816s it straight away as soon as he gets he's
11817s right on top of the beautiful deflect
11819s heals himself and kills off fielder does
11822s he need anything else i don't think so
11824s the rest of his team are going to clean
11825s up gio and gurio end up dying and the
11828s gladiators putting their feet on the
11830s payload
11831s and should be able to get point point
11832s two now that was a master class by the
11835s gladiators of how to attack this second
11836s point watch point gibraltar it can be so
11838s difficult if you lose that positioning
11840s fearless comes in with that primal rage
11841s they go back and then re-engage with the
11843s nano blade making it look easy and once
11846s again the dallas fuel are getting caught
11848s with these forward spawns they should
11849s have jumped off the cliff and now the
11851s gladiators taking more and more space
11854s being able to play the game however they
11856s want to look at the positioning of arms
11858s this is so hard to re-engage into
11860s because he's going to hit these head
11861s shots and dallas fuel have got to be
11863s careful this map is slipping away from
11864s them
11865s there's a small change also on that high
11867s ground there's a little bit of cover for
11868s you to
11870s run behind now if you're a widowmaker up
11872s there
11873s i'm just sitting in this room oh nice
11874s little body shot can't finish up the
11877s kill
11879s site active for the fuel
11881s everybody's visible
11882s holding s is the main objective of the
11884s glass just wait this will wear off you
11886s do not want to keep these sights yeah
11887s absolutely it's just too hard to
11889s maneuver around the map when everyone
11890s knows exactly where you are gladio is
11892s doing a great job with that but they
11894s have the ultimates to get into this
11895s fight they're going to try and take this
11897s positioning ryan is jumping onto gurio
11899s in the bottom right and now he has that
11900s mini room control the dallas fuel are
11902s losing time phyllis tries to take that
11904s positioning back on the high ground but
11905s incredible
11908s a double blink a quick look to the right
11911s skewed shield
11913s unfortunately pointing the wrong
11915s direction a lot of votes to the glad
11917s though for this next one
11918s yeah it's not the worst thing for the
11920s gladiators they have or they have a lot
11922s of time because of how quickly they did
11924s the second point but 90 seconds
11925s remaining they don't have a lot going
11927s for them the dallas fuel should have the
11928s answers to anything they're going to
11929s take it might come down to the widows
11931s here and the positioning that they can
11933s take
11935s 20 away from this blade
11939s just slowly but surely oh yeah kevin
11941s does not want to try that nor the
11942s bragita right next to it
11944s just slowly but surely the gladiators
11946s inching this payload forward nice engage
11949s there by rhino but both rallies are
11950s going to get activated village trying to
11952s isolate shoe and get skewed away at the
11955s same time look at this juggle is gonna
11957s go down though there's just too much
11958s healing in the rally's too good but kev
11960s storyline ends up falling
11962s in the back line
11964s wow fearless there just man handling
11966s three people i've never seen that before
11968s that was so smart by feels recognizing
11971s that the rally is going off for skewed
11972s if he can get close enough to shoot then
11974s there's going to be too much healing for
11975s him to get through
11977s unfortunately that juggling of the back
11978s and forth isn't enough and they're able
11980s to live
11982s but
11983s dallas fueled they have the space there
11984s was too many resources invested by the
11986s gladiators to try and keep them alive
11988s and now it gets harder for the
11989s gladiators 30 seconds remaining we're
11990s going into the final fight they pop the
11992s infrasight to give them control but they
11994s don't have any ultimates to get into
11996s this fight other than that
11997s sights up for the glad arns knows
12000s exactly where everybody lies and wait
12002s that was very very close
12006s takes the head off of gurion who was
12008s like the first widow on with who kill
12010s we've seen in quite some time what a
12012s shot by arms both dps eliminated the
12015s gladiators making that forward march
12017s reiner clearing up the supports and now
12019s an eagle eye view for arms the spawn
12022s doors are no longer safe but neither is
12025s the rest of the map two meters to go
12028s guerrilla switch to the reaper to try
12029s and get something done doesn't quite get
12032s there and in overtime the gladiators are
12035s finished the map
12036s aren't coming alive at a very timely
12038s moment they didn't have a lot of ways to
12040s get in there using that infrasight
12042s perfectly guru not giving that respect
12045s right there you can see arms on his face
12048s he's just happy with himself he knows
12050s what he's done
12051s and the gladiators finish the map this
12052s is a difficult map to finish
12055s and the dallas you'll have a long time
12056s to go i'm i'm looking at guru right now
12058s he has not had that impact on the widow
12060s that we saw from arms right there
12062s if they are going to get that push they
12064s can't put all their reliance on to felis
12065s and sparkle to make that effective dive
12069s it's going to be tough
12078s still with smiles on their faces though
12080s that's the important thing i know
12082s they're not out of this just yet
12085s same kind of stuff plans same
12087s compositions no real surprises there
12090s even yesterday to be fair gurus wouldn't
12092s make on dorado specifically was just
12095s just a terror to deal with like how do
12097s you even stop a widowmaker when they're
12098s on their like hot stream right and i
12101s mentioned at the very end
12102s when unskilled guru that felt like the
12104s first widowmaker uh kill from either
12107s side like on each other they've just not
12109s been running into each other and if they
12111s have they've been here body shots like
12112s this is not what we're used to seeing
12115s neither of them really not just in the
12116s widowmaker head head it didn't feel like
12118s either of them was having that high
12119s amount of impact and i they need to look
12121s towards this fearless going for another
12123s old trick in the book going for
12125s their
12126s maybe next time maybe next time
12128s switching over to that dive style again
12130s we're going to see kevs that once again
12131s pick up the genji sparkle onto that
12134s tracer
12135s and the attack begins we saw this in the
12137s last map on king's roar gladiators
12139s finishing the map but dallas fuel able
12141s to rally back from that having
12142s confidence in their own play they need
12144s to do it again oh don't test dance in
12145s the 1v1 no he decides against it
12147s grapples away sparkle was saving his
12149s blinks there so he could maybe get
12150s behind dance
12152s still though a crack shot on the winner
12156s dallas trying to push the cart and also
12158s control that high ground it's going to
12159s be sparkle bouncing jumping up and down
12161s on this car to try and get it moving
12163s forward as the gladiators do not want to
12165s contest it and the dallas will slowly
12167s walking up to the high gun
12168s gurio
12169s i i need to see him come alive just here
12171s the gladiators are setting up in the
12173s same way the dallas fuel did get your
12174s back line into the server room makes it
12176s so they can't be sniped effectively and
12178s they can play protected big nade
12180s underchio when he goes down another
12182s fantastic neighbor by shoe rhino stuff
12184s is the same fate he's going so low
12187s so close to falling
12191s that's time off the clock right there
12192s that's one minute and we've seen how
12194s quickly the first point can slip away
12195s from you as the offensive team just a
12197s couple of picks a couple of bad
12199s ultimates and it can all go away kept
12201s getting incredibly low against the
12202s sparkle tracer but just not enough and
12204s the dallas fuel just getting those
12206s ultimates up look at the old charge of
12207s gurio only at 34
12210s nice headshot but it's not going to
12211s result in a kill
12213s on to reiner all now sparkle is playing
12215s arms a little visit
12218s he knows exactly where hans is he's got
12220s the pulse bomb in hand on z's to find
12222s something big here huge stick from
12223s sparkle to start off the fight gurio now
12225s is going to have the entire map
12227s basically for free if he so chooses ryan
12230s gets slept off the back of the nano from
12231s shu humongous stuff from the back line
12233s the dallas fuel they stop kevster from
12234s doing all too much sparkle does fall but
12237s the gladiators
12239s a lot of thorns in their side right now
12242s the dallas fuel are now moving on
12245s the guys they can recontest though scott
12247s reiner getting out life's important he
12248s put primal rage
12249s in the back
12250s trying to get phyllis away but phyllis
12252s has just taken them right back to their
12253s spawn art is now in trouble he's gone
12255s slept he's gotten woken he is auntie but
12258s he's out of there ryan popped the primal
12260s rage super early scott to try and find a
12262s kill but now he doesn't have it for this
12264s point going low got antifa skewed with
12266s the rally on the payload
12268s dude also getting rally but he's getting
12270s nano a little bit of a raid boss kepster
12272s tried to find an opening but fielder
12274s closed that door art is dead
12277s and the payload so close to being
12279s captured it's only a matter of time they
12281s just need to focus down skewed they do
12283s just that and the fuel
12284s open those doors to point b fearless
12287s just existing in the back line of the
12289s los angeles gladiators them not having
12291s any ability to deal with him and they
12293s have just had that constant threat in
12294s the back of their mind so when the
12296s gladiators were going aggressive they
12297s couldn't get that support so great play
12299s by fearless and the gladiators used
12301s almost everything to get that back
12303s kester with the blade we saw the
12305s snowball from them on their attacking
12306s around gladiators need to find a stop
12308s here
12309s there's the blade from kevster there's
12311s no nana but it don't matter curio had no
12314s uh shift to get away
12316s a lot of damage onto fearless but the
12318s the quick heal quick reactions from
12320s fielder and make sure he stays alive
12322s another unreal auntie from shu
12326s stops the fuel from uh doing all of too
12329s much oh
12330s whoa oh sparkle kill skewed and kevster
12333s nice that 180 stick there i will say i
12336s hit this yesterday sparkle loves to use
12338s his pulse ball on the way out and it's
12339s the kind of thing that we talked about
12341s it when it whipped it wasn't good but
12342s even when it hits did that really have
12344s that much impact gladiators keep the
12346s positioning and the dallas fuel aren't
12348s able to walk forward and this was such
12349s an important hold for the gladiators
12351s because now they have the position but
12352s an enormous name from fielder should get
12354s that positioning back shoes so low but
12355s look at that carrying behind skewed
12357s shield and nano boost has been earned
12359s arms
12361s finds the kill onto gurio
12363s he's up on the top of the ship another
12365s very very hard place to get to ahn's in
12367s trouble needs to go to his healers but
12369s fearless takes him out
12371s problem is reiner had already popped the
12373s primal rage and finds double kill the
12375s fuel struggling as i think most teams do
12378s to be fair in this hangar
12380s second point gibraltar is notoriously
12383s difficult to push through because once
12384s the hold happens and the winstons are
12387s able to hold these doors the widow's
12388s able to get set up on the high ground it
12390s becomes almost impossible to find a way
12392s through this door fearless with the
12393s primal rage has to try and give the rest
12395s of his team space to walk in and help
12398s gurio get some space so we can finally
12399s start getting some of these picks we are
12401s seeing both nanos coming online there it
12403s is applied to rhino small corridor
12405s phyllis just bats him away ryan is gonna
12407s send himself to the high ground should
12408s be an easy poop yes it is
12412s kevs doesn't really want to dice with
12413s that either so a lot of healing
12415s in that small corridor and fearless he
12417s gets slapped but not before he manages
12419s to kill the brigitte gurio now in
12420s trouble ryan trying to finish these
12422s kills but no again quick reactions from
12424s fielder
12425s to keep gurio alive they've got nano
12427s they've got rally to follow this one up
12429s they may have lost sparkle but they're
12431s not going down without a little bit more
12433s of a fight nice nade on to shoe curio
12436s cleaning up arms they've finally broken
12440s this point open are they going to commit
12442s with this skewed rally or are they just
12443s going to give it up you see with the
12444s silhouette moving on they are going to
12446s give it up and they got to be careful
12447s about about getting snowballed here
12449s dallas fuel they smell blood in the
12450s water and they're going aggressive
12452s another big name
12453s there's the nano onto fearless pulse
12455s bomb from kenster shio luckily didn't
12458s activate that rally in response but if
12460s you're the fuel you'll take that
12464s rally and now you can use yours
12466s both hammers end up going down oh uh
12468s does he escape no no probably not
12471s you're not too upset if you're the
12472s dallas fuel the
12474s spawn doors are right there you will
12476s take that rally you'll take those
12477s ultimates and come back stronger
12480s as you said keeps the rally and they're
12482s going to be able to set up that
12483s engagement
12484s now it gets this long run through this
12487s third point only two minutes remaining
12488s they need to get through this first half
12490s quickly because the back half is where
12491s the challenge is
12493s possible available for sparkle because
12495s she's getting permanently checked by
12497s kevster it's hard for him to do all of
12499s anything luckily there's a health pack
12500s behind him so he can escape back to that
12502s he so chooses gladiators willing to
12503s fight in the spawn though sparkle with a
12505s stick lands on the shield but scoot
12506s still dies
12509s the dallas fuel now have an opening
12510s right is going pretty low he's only got
12511s one healer to back him up but it's not
12513s enough
12514s the nade to finish it and the fuel now
12515s are getting this payload going they got
12517s a minute and 20 seconds to go as they
12519s try and get to those spawn doors but yet
12520s again
12522s aren't checking sparkle with a headshot
12524s important pick that slows the roll of
12526s the dallas fuel importantly though for
12528s them they held on to that rally they
12529s have these big ultimates to be able to
12531s get back into this fight but reiner
12532s wants to go first he's not giving them
12534s any inch oh nice pulse by kevster gurio
12537s trying to get away from his team so he
12538s doesn't do any team damage
12540s dallas fuel still have that rally like
12541s you're mentioning scott
12543s but with reiner's
12544s primal rage you could stop that from
12546s really happening if you isolate chio
12548s push him off the map or just push him
12550s away from the team that over health
12551s isn't going to be as effective
12556s going into final fight territory with
12558s only 45 seconds remaining the gladiators
12559s done a good job of playing aggressive
12561s forcing the dallas field not they don't
12562s want to use their ultimate so early in
12564s the fight fearless is going in with the
12565s primal trying to isolate the anna again
12567s but it gets slapped by shu another time
12570s whoops to daisy reiner actually broke
12572s fearless up we'll see if he results in
12573s all too much nano boost on to skew to
12576s keep him alive barnes has a nice little
12577s high ground advantage but ryan look at
12579s this he's trying to just bully people in
12581s this small room the kills are coming
12582s through ryder doing a whole bunch of
12584s work no one can move they all get turned
12587s into a smoothie and the dallas fuel with
12589s 10 seconds to go need to touch the
12591s payload and you can see the way the
12593s gladiators are setting up they want to
12594s hold close make it so the dallas school
12596s has to run through them to get the cart
12598s maybe thinking better of a little bit
12599s here with the vise the walls coming out
12601s from gurilla but arn's gonna sparkle
12602s again with an early hedgehog a massive
12604s pig for the gladiators the rally on
12607s fearless to make sure he can touch they
12609s still have to keep juggling the payload
12610s though a boob from scoot might just do
12612s it phillis can't get back
12615s [Applause]
12617s skew with a massive shift aren't
12619s standing up you want some of this
12621s the gladiators two one up in the series
12624s match point
12627s the dallas fuel
12629s need to find something special to come
12630s back now
12631s gladiators horning the dallas fuel with
12633s some c9s in chat they're starting to
12635s feel themselves that was an impressive
12637s play by the gladiators but exactly what
12639s we expected in this series the dallas
12641s you have not been looking good on this
12643s dive and once again it shows up the
12645s gladiators feeling confident in their
12648s play right now absolutely dominant where
12650s do you take the gladiators now if you're
12652s the dallas field it has to go to push
12654s both maps are pretty good for that zaya
12656s composition surely it should be their
12658s map to take
12659s surely
12661s this was their map take two right they
12663s chose watchpoint gibraltar we'll have to
12664s find out where they want to go and who's
12666s subbing in who's subbing out after this
12668s break do not go anywhere
12674s [Music]
12676s uh

12894s [Music]
12936s hello
12940s just
12942s [Music]
12966s [Music]
12977s the gladiators one map away
12981s from sending the dallas fuel down to the
12984s lower bracket the hometown heroes
12987s that gibraltar game
12989s man that was
12991s pure skill mashup
12993s the compositions were almost like you
12995s had a genji and the tracy difference
12996s there and rhino just got the better of
12998s fearless at the end of it it's it's just
13000s hard i think for the dallas fuel they
13002s haven't leaned into playing this winston
13004s composition at all so far throughout
13006s this season every time they have it
13008s hasn't looked that good they've really
13010s relied on that han bin edison zaya
13012s reaper composite composition while the
13014s los angeles gladiators that's been their
13016s bread and butter and you can tell when
13018s you see them play they just understand
13020s the match up better
13021s but we're moving on and the subs are
13023s coming back in paddy pan france
13025s the classic yep dallas fuel choosing
13029s coliseum as our push map so
13032s astro coming back in
13033s [Music]
13035s we're probably going to see shades of
13036s control on this map
13038s interestingly for me we just saw the
13040s gladiators lose on the rush versus the
13042s xayah in that linear style map colosseum
13045s is very similar to that kind of thing
13047s because
13048s there's just long corridors and the
13051s dallas fuel are going to be able to just
13052s sort of disengage every time the
13054s gladiators do try and engage so i want
13056s to see if they're going to make any
13058s adjustments if they're going to play the
13059s dive style into the xayah or if they
13061s want to keep sticking to that
13063s rush don't wait and see edison coming in
13065s for gurio
13067s didn't come out the gate hot on the
13068s widowmaker edison well warmed up his
13071s reaper play looked pretty good on king's
13074s row that is for sure
13076s hanbin stepping in for fearless there's
13078s a sign out here that says hanbin is my
13080s dad
13081s he he is for the dallas fuel right now
13083s he is leading the charge and every time
13084s they are getting these wins it is on the
13086s back of his stellar zaya play and
13089s collaborating with edison so go back to
13091s their bread and butter find their style
13093s and really just help push them over the
13095s line because they only have push and
13096s then after push there's control so they
13098s can play desired composition for the
13100s rest of this series so dallas fuel
13102s should be home they just need to reset
13103s their mental there's the sign
13105s the legendary son the legendary song
13108s you should have been signing up i'll be
13110s the cherry on top
13112s 12 the players get into the lobby and
13113s then we'll be right underway
13115s yeah they're glad
13117s it's always fun i can imagine being on
13119s the stage and win against the uh the
13121s home team
13123s or scary i played against dallas at one
13126s of their home games in 2019 i got booed
13128s dallas fans you gotta answer for that
13130s first but i did get booed the dallas
13132s fuel are just a scary team at home
13134s they've always played up to their
13135s potential whenever they're here but
13137s today looking a little bit shaky the
13140s gladiators had seemed to have had an
13141s answer every time they haven't been able
13143s to play their comfort composition so
13146s i don't know what the dallas fuel are
13148s going to pull out on this zaya
13149s composition and if the gladiators are
13151s going to make some adjustments maybe
13152s they play the winston reiner has been
13154s phenomenal so far this season playing it
13157s 1.2 deaths
13159s per 10 minutes he's just living forever
13161s they're almost impossible for them to
13163s kill him 19 eliminations almost
13166s he's just putting in that work he's been
13167s a standout player for this los angeles
13170s gladius as a rookie and not only that he
13172s has the flexibility to play these other
13174s heroes like the doomfist like the
13175s reinhardt
13177s while we're heading in
13180s what could be our final of map
13182s going to push colosseum dallas fuels
13185s choice
13188s it's not quite like
13189s the reverse sweep kind of thing we set
13191s up at the very start but turning out to
13193s be an incredibly
13194s close game
13197s trying to see what glides are going to
13199s do because yeah the the flexibility is
13201s just
13202s paramount there are a lot of corridors
13204s so if patty pan did want to lean back
13206s into that may it could work
13208s it's definitely worked for them in the
13210s past and we have seen teams do it
13212s especially the london spitfire on the
13213s back of that chatty play but it has had
13216s mixed success and no one has made that
13218s work versus the dallas fuel
13223s i don't know who the crowd is behind
13225s that
13225s that's for certain
13229s okay
13231s interestingly enough heading into the
13232s season we did hear rumors of the han bin
13235s doom fist it was something that they
13237s were picking up they were playing around
13239s also with that sparkle genji but
13242s it actually feels like right now dallas
13243s fuel are going to play this ziya hanzo
13246s composition that we just saw in the last
13248s series while the gladiators they're
13249s going to go to something more
13250s traditional with their doomfist soldier
13253s tracer
13254s very different matchup right here than
13256s what we've seen so far yeah that hanzo
13258s comp like we saw earlier very slow just
13260s waiting for the pigs
13262s from the hanzo but gladiators they don't
13265s want to wait around at all we already
13266s see kevster making his way around the
13268s side you look he's already behind the
13269s dallas fuel they're not going to allow
13270s them to just freeze you try and get some
13272s of those picks
13274s the cat's out of the bag though edison's
13275s looking at him yeah an unbelievably
13276s defensive nade there from fielder
13279s as soon as that cooldown goes down as
13280s the co-sign really for the gladiators
13282s just dive into the back line still have
13284s to be rather careful
13286s edison quite a crack shot on the hand so
13289s you can whip around and uh
13291s pin your head to a wall
13292s you're not careful already though daddy
13294s just not like
13295s putting on the the pressure the tempo
13297s that i thought they would
13299s i feel like they're just waiting they're
13300s too slow right now it feels like they're
13301s just waiting for edison to get a pick
13303s they need to find some form of purchase
13305s with their dive composition because
13306s they're not going to win the long form
13307s but the big nade coming in from true
13309s there you go osun falls nice anti made
13313s easy clean up now sparkle in a lot of
13315s trouble using those legs to get away
13316s kev's doing a fair amount of damage
13318s already earned himself a pulse bomb and
13319s a slam and a couple of left clicks from
13321s reiner
13323s i'll be the win for the gladiators on
13325s this first fight
13327s fuel takes shoe down so guys can't push
13330s this as far as they potentially want to
13331s because ivana falling yeah you already
13334s see funny astro running back to spawn to
13336s pick up shu this is a big pick up for
13338s them so now the dallas fuel should be
13339s able to come in get control of the butt
13341s edison not finding any value on that
13343s hanzo and switching over to the tracer
13345s something we haven't seen from him much
13347s this season but he is definitely
13349s proficient at this hero capsule with the
13351s pulse bomb he's looking for something
13352s big looking fulfilled there he spots him
13354s throws it out
13356s photo with a fancy feet dodges out the
13358s way and now chio is just gonna play
13359s point guard there making sure phil
13361s doesn't get any more uh
13362s get any harassment from the back line
13364s that advisor for sparkle panapan trying
13366s to hide behind that giant wall doesn't
13367s end up working out well for him at all
13370s the dallas fuel they are nades in the
13372s back but look at this positioning from
13374s sparkle they're easily dismantling the
13376s backline the gladiators very little
13378s protection for shoe and funny astro with
13381s rhino playing this doomfist and the both
13384s the dps wanting to flank and get some
13386s damage in los angeles that's a tragedy
13389s they use the nano visor themselves but
13391s the dallas fuel go first paddy pan gets
13394s too low too early has to start hiding
13396s but sparkle able to find that kill and
13397s they've got the cart moving right now
13400s gladiators set up on that high ground
13401s waiting for the engagement and reiner's
13402s going early with the meteor strike
13405s straight to the back maybe
13407s way more defensively than i thought
13409s power blocks up no one shoots him hasn't
13411s got that charged up punch and actually
13413s the fuel are going to send in that beat
13415s what an amazing block whether it was you
13417s were meant to do that or you didn't mean
13418s to do that you blocked reiner's path to
13420s escape using that punch he doesn't do
13422s crazy amount of damage if you just get
13424s normally whacked by it
13425s so he was unable to escape and now the
13427s dallas fuel with a grab in hand and a
13429s pulse bomb could be the bigger bang here
13432s reiner switching over to this winston
13433s not happy with how the doomfist is
13434s working out he's already getting low
13436s he's unable to move around this map
13438s right now without just getting
13439s absolutely poked down
13441s the dallas feel slowly moving this but
13443s hanbin with the graviton surge he's
13444s looking for something big edison has to
13446s set up
13447s right beside him or close to the
13449s vicinity of this grav
13452s she's checking kevster okay kevster is
13453s at least called out where edison is
13455s edison has a recall but decides not to
13456s use it just yet
13458s just jostling around this payload hanbin
13460s looking for this opening with the grab
13463s as soon as ryan jumps in with the nano
13464s maybe this is time to go hubbard
13466s actually turns around gets slapped and
13468s that nano winston doing way too much
13470s work in the back line the fuel trying to
13473s come back in this fight with a nano
13474s visor but everybody's just scattering as
13477s soon as sparkle tried to find targets
13480s dallas fuel getting desperate they're
13482s trying to use the nano visor after han
13483s bin gets low sparkle probably could have
13486s saved that visor but doesn't we see some
13488s switches coming in edison onto the
13489s reaper sparkle onto the tracer to deal
13491s with this winston switch from rhino but
13494s look at this positioning by gladys they
13495s have everything they want right now
13496s hundred throws to grab graviton search
13498s right on top of rhino he's got a bubble
13500s on top of him and now we're beat to
13501s match gio finds a kill on to shoot the
13504s beat from funny extra a little bit too
13505s late
13506s to save his flex support
13509s hum it's quite high energy but parapan
13511s on the side manages to find a visor a
13513s couple of kills
13514s the positioning from the fuel just
13517s getting torn apart those padded pan and
13519s rhino are going to clean up the rest
13521s they're going to be able to take the
13522s lead now once again paddy pen stepping
13525s up in the playoffs for the kickoff clash
13528s struggle to get value out of those
13529s visors but he has made it work so far
13531s shio is going aggressive just falls on
13533s the point before anyone else from his
13534s team is here maybe thinking they could
13536s have got them before the gladiators
13538s reagress they he jumped on that payload
13541s so they didn't take the lead but now
13542s with only a couple of meters to go the
13544s gladiators want to be able to get that
13546s going again maybe that was a smart
13548s heads-up play
13550s who's gladiate is on a timer
13552s sparkle dying and edison falling to the
13555s dash fuel kind of falling apart right
13556s now and gladiators there you go they've
13558s taken the lead i don't like that play to
13560s stop the card there's still so much time
13562s left in this map to go back and forth
13564s giving up your life and now the
13565s gladiators edging into the checkpoint
13567s that is the big thing that matters right
13569s now
13570s primal rage to bash the fuel back if you
13572s have two support ultimates to back them
13574s up in this fight
13576s three meters to go runner push himself
13578s the high ground there's the beat it hits
13580s only two and fielder unfortunately
13582s suffers death edison gets nano's and is
13585s able to wraith walk away he's got a
13587s little bit of damage down but parapan on
13588s the high ground just rained down so much
13590s damage edison and shiro were not falling
13592s over and the gladiators they're getting
13594s this checkpoint two meters to go hard
13597s been jumping down in desperation now
13599s sparkle to try and do something but with
13601s the healing station and just finding
13604s astro existing it's too much room to
13606s deal with the gladiators have unlocked
13609s checkpoint a you said to yourself jack
13611s desperation that's what the gameplay
13612s looks like from dallas fuel the
13613s coordination all the plans have gone out
13615s the window they're just throwing their
13616s bodies at the point to stop it from
13618s moving forward but not trying to
13619s actually win these fights fielder
13621s switches over to the moira to try and
13622s lift graviton search
13627s graviton surge right on top of
13629s gladiators the sound barrier not enough
13631s to keep shu alive a pulse bomb though
13633s from kevsters good huh but had no
13635s bubbles to back him up the dallas fuel
13638s are struggling at least chios picking up
13640s these kills every now and then but still
13642s the payload
13644s the bot is so far
13646s forward for the gladiators the fuel are
13649s gonna need a miracle to come back
13650s there's a minute to go now they just
13652s cannot deal with capsule right now he's
13654s just running circles around them one
13656s minute to go they need to get back to
13657s the checkpoint
13659s the card is moving but already we see
13660s paddy payne go down but hanbin to
13662s forward edison with a nice kill with the
13664s death blossom but no just followed
13665s straight up you saw the bubble going
13667s straight on top of him to stop that
13668s damage
13670s ringing around the the rest of the
13671s gladiators and now the fuel push all the
13673s way back to spawn they've got a couple
13675s lessons coming up scott but that's just
13676s about it they're just not playing the
13678s same way we know edison forcing this
13680s death blossom and the gladiators are
13681s just playing reactively they haven't
13683s even really needed to use alts to deal
13685s with it we're going into fight to fight
13686s territory and patty pan and chu almost
13688s have their ultimates that nano visor is
13690s going to be almost impossible for the
13691s dallas fuel to deal with unless chio can
13693s get that sound barrier sparkle's pulse
13695s needs to be massive
13697s he's sniffed out
13700s so now can just play in a main
13702s he has to get shoe with his pulse has to
13704s he has to he spotted one post goes wide
13707s no that's not
13709s what you want to see a few other fuel
13710s they use that coalescence though to push
13712s them forward and a beat as well the
13714s gladiators throwing a ton in tactical
13716s visor with the nano on top had he's
13717s going so low hanbin deals with him but
13720s the bot is still moving with five
13722s seconds to go the dallas fuel needed
13724s entrance into this fight ryan is batting
13725s everybody away as overtime is about to
13728s get triggered
13729s this is only the beginning though dallas
13731s feel they need to win this fight and
13732s they need to keep it going but reiner is
13733s just being such a nuisance going low he
13735s gets auntie but still manages to kill
13737s shoe if they can just stabilize with
13738s fielder coming back they should be good
13741s rhino just dancing around this bubble
13743s with five members of the dallas fuel
13745s right now on top of him he wasn't long
13747s to live
13748s astro falls final fight still for the
13751s fuel dallas fuel need to get some
13752s composure here they need to start
13754s cycling their abilities they know don't
13755s need to win one team fight to win this
13757s map they need to win two maybe three
13759s that los angeles glide is coming in and
13760s they're getting early picks with fielder
13762s humongous orb to kill panapan but
13764s kevster with a big pulse bomb laying it
13766s next to hundred as he sleeps kept it
13768s from the high ground with an eagles
13770s watch he's gonna run it down fielder
13772s field of self-regeneration is pretty
13774s good but burning the fade is not great
13775s kevs are just partnering on that
13777s pressure they killed the moyer they
13778s might win the game the dallas fuel are
13780s crumbling over time is ticking down the
13783s gladiators push the robot back they take
13786s control and take the series three to one
13790s kevster at the end they're 25 player
13792s kill streak he could he was just running
13795s around doing whatever he want dallas
13796s fuel did not have an answer kepster once
13799s again putting on an mvp performance and
13801s the gladiators having the composure at
13803s the end
13804s whereas the dallas fuel faulted
13806s [Music]
13810s they still get another chance
13812s they are moving down to the lower
13814s brackets they are not out of this just
13817s yet
13819s the gladiators move on forward a 3-1
13822s victory
13824s on what was a little bit of a struggle
13825s from the fuel but gladiators showing
13827s their adaptability
13829s and their
13830s just their compositional differences
13832s they can play basically whatever they
13833s have a very very deep hero pool in dps
13836s slot miner can play seemingly seemingly
13838s everything
13840s is looking great this is the gladiators
13842s that we saw throughout the kickoff clash
13845s but it doesn't feel like we've actually
13846s had an experience because they had those
13848s two reverse sweeps they were playing so
13850s well just unable to close out
13853s today it looks like they've gotten over
13854s that hill they're playing way better
13856s whereas the dallas fuel they're going to
13858s be taking their step down to the lowest
13860s bracket and that's the san francisco
13862s shock and the dallas fuel now that
13864s people are going to have to face if they
13866s want to make their way to the grand
13867s finals
13868s it is a super scary situation
13871s number three seed knocking out the
13872s number two seed
13874s oh sparkle don't trip don't hit yourself
13877s for the next game
13880s oh wow
13882s yeesh
13883s i was brave bringing that sign in a
13885s brave man standing in the crowd full of
13887s dallas fuel fans but deservedly so the
13889s gladiators having a phenomenal
13891s performance and they deserve to have
13893s this lap of victory because it feels
13894s like they're finally becoming that team
13896s that we were promised this year
13899s still got a little ways to go though
13901s before they get into the finals
13904s guide it is still looking clean and
13907s man parapan also had a fantastic game
13909s like his may throughout the entire
13911s series looked
13912s very very solid
13915s and now where did dallas fuel go they've
13917s experimented a little bit with fearless
13919s going on to the winston these dive
13920s compositions and they chose the last two
13922s maps but both compositions just not
13924s working out yes they are the the
13926s originators of this zarya comp but
13930s looks like maybe a couple of teams just
13933s improving on it and then beating them
13935s out with it washington florida that is
13937s the winner they will have to play
13939s against
13940s can they win that match up or do they
13942s have confidence in that zaya composition
13943s still
13945s well let's have a little word with shu
13948s down on the floor danny take it away
13951s thank you guys so much yes i am down
13953s here with shu i think he is excited for
13956s this uh interview he's already getting
13958s his uh voice ready hi shu how are you
13960s feeling
13962s so good so good
13965s obviously i'm sure you're feeling great
13967s because you just beat the dallas fuel as
13969s well i mean the last time you guys
13971s played was i think it was in week two
13973s where you guys unfortunately took the l
13975s and dallas fuel one but today you guys
13977s finally got your revenge how does that
13980s feel
13982s [Music]
14003s [Music]
14012s since last year we've had to our
14014s schedule always had really strong teams
14015s such as san francisco shock but it was
14017s always the dallas field that we always
14019s lost to uh even getting reverse swept
14021s sometimes so that we were really sad
14023s about that but today we finally got a
14025s revenge uh we beat the dallas deal so it
14027s really really feels great and talking
14029s about getting that revenge i do want to
14030s ask you about uh today's match because
14032s you know you guys are in dallas you guys
14034s beat the dallas fuel what was the game
14036s plan coming into today's match
14068s i think our mentality was first of all
14071s first and foremost win uh we even use a
14073s lot of uh
14074s strong words a little bit of customers
14076s maybe here and there i really wanted to
14078s hyper hype ourselves up uh for our
14081s matches and also just depending on what
14083s the dallas uh lineup was looking like
14086s what players were coming out uh for the
14088s matches or for the maps uh we wanted to
14091s be flexible enough uh to change our
14093s composition and change our play style
14095s and i think that's what our game playing
14097s game plan was coming into today's match
14099s and also she also did mention that you
14101s know they're also another mentality was
14103s they really want to just break
14105s dallas fuel i think that break thing is
14107s sort of like a trend
14109s right now
14112s i don't know
14118s one more question uh i feel like
14120s gladiators are one of those unique teams
14122s that are really really flexible like you
14124s mentioned uh winston dive doomfist even
14126s to rush comps what
14166s i would have to say the doomfist comp
14168s that we use is are my personal favorite
14170s because i am a very aggressive player of
14172s when i played the anna or batman you
14174s know while supporting the doofus i could
14177s also put in a lot of damage to the
14179s opposing team and also sort of uh i
14181s could get the spotlight as well when i'm
14183s doing that as well for those
14184s compositions so yes doomfist is my
14187s favorite that is it for the interview
14188s thank you so much shoot everybody keep
14190s it up here
14192s costa and jaws back to you
14195s [Music]
14197s [Applause]
14198s [Music]
14199s cheers danny
14200s yeah i mean the doomfist com it's pretty
14202s fun to play around let's be real you
14204s just go in go in go in go in here's some
14206s sick nades and then uh yeah just get
14207s some kills
14208s i don't think anyone's surprised that
14210s she was anywhere i can do damage is my
14212s favorite composition because he does it
14214s so well and he's just been so consistent
14216s throughout the years mvp performance
14218s last year putting up another one this
14220s year he's just offers so much for the
14222s team not just in the things that are
14224s expected from him of the healing but
14225s also the sleeps the healing everything
14227s on top of it the damage that he just
14229s seems to end the clutches on top of that
14231s as well so absolutely incredible play
14233s from him and the entirety of the los
14234s angeles gladiators yep and he's gonna be
14236s our player of the match for this one on
14239s top of that and yeah that damage output
14241s from the batiste like you said the
14242s clutch factor the amount of times he
14244s comes back in puts the window in front
14245s of himself and then just
14247s it's just havoc
14248s can't deal with this it enables the
14250s gladiators to do so much as well you saw
14252s that flexibility how many different
14253s compositions did we see from the los
14255s angeles gladiators just today i think
14257s about three or four different looks and
14259s that makes them so difficult to prepare
14261s against and that's what makes them such
14263s a dominant team if you're the atlanta
14264s reign when you're about to go up against
14265s the gladiators how do you prepare for
14267s that we have two looks from the atlanta
14268s reign and about like seven from the
14270s gladiators so having that is a massive
14272s boon and why they are deservedly so in
14274s the winner's bracket finals
14276s yeah a shoe at a time back uh
14278s like in the apex era like a lot of the
14280s dps player a lot of the support players
14281s will play widowmaker and she was one of
14283s those you can see in his aim right like
14285s just unbelievable helps with the sleep
14287s darts too of course
14289s public every time well not a monkey
14291s doesn't matter she was a sleep dart
14293s sleep dart success rate 54
14296s looking clean and sleeps per 10 is
14299s that's absolutely ridiculous that is an
14301s outrageous sleep dart success rate he's
14303s just putting in the work and you could
14304s tell fearless especially on that watch
14306s point gibraltar just struggling every
14307s time he tried to go in aggressive he was
14309s getting slept and that you know that
14311s inherently enables everyone else arn's
14313s just getting so much value on that widow
14315s it's it's incredible to see and i'm just
14318s want to see more from this guy as he
14320s plays against the best teams
14322s but you know they're going up against
14323s the atlanta arena team that could be
14324s unstoppable could be we'll have to wait
14326s and find out that's a little bit later
14329s but we're gonna jump to a quick break
14330s we've got two matches to come scott and
14333s there's two teams going home today we'll
14335s have to find out who they are after this
14337s break
14341s the on watching is brought to you by
14342s upper deck the official trading card of

14500s hello
14508s [Music]
14517s [Music]
14522s [Music]
14536s hello and welcome to our game break zoe
14538s here joined by a reinforced as well as
14540s necra and uh we just got to witness
14544s another bracket buster i dare say now
14546s gladiators of course we did talk about
14548s their their compositional versatility
14551s their their their hero
14553s death from the individuals
14556s and uh they brought it all out they
14558s showed us a lot of flexibility and
14560s dallas has just kind of been on the back
14561s foot for the majority of the series now
14564s necro uh which players really stood out
14566s to you
14569s i mean is it a cop-out if i just say
14572s shoe again i i mean because to be honest
14575s with you we were talking about how the
14577s back line was going to be so important
14579s to be able to look at in this series and
14582s i think shu put on a fantastic example
14585s of why we need to be looking at those
14586s support players you know shu ended up
14589s opening up a lot of
14591s advantages for the team which los
14593s angeles gladiators were able to
14595s capitalize on and you can see how she
14597s was even able to pop off himself getting
14600s a lot of final blows on the batiste and
14602s also just some incredible sleep darts
14606s with the anna as well
14610s yeah i mean it was quite an even match
14613s up until the very last map called zeo
14617s because we saw the clutters came out
14618s ready to play the reinhardt and it's
14620s something that you know i talked about
14621s going into the series that like what
14622s happens to dallas if you bring out this
14624s round against the zarya um and dallas
14627s fuel while they did show on king's row
14629s for example that they are still an elite
14631s team they're able to play the reaper
14632s composition with genji and zarya to
14635s unlock all these different angles to
14637s poke and prod against the lag gladiators
14639s uh backline getting out those mutant
14641s fields and then capitalizing on it um i
14643s feel like the dallas fuel they still
14645s were on a lot of that back foot like you
14646s said zoe here on gibraltar
14648s i mean gurio didn't really have that
14650s much impact in this entire map it was
14652s mostly arms running the show in the
14654s widowmaker duel reiner as well
14657s arguably like out winston reiner here
14659s reiner barely died as they pointed out
14661s on the cast and fearless got slept
14662s multiple times had a couple nice juggles
14665s but overall i feel like individually
14667s billy gladys just like outplayed them on
14669s that winston composition so we go over
14671s to colosseo
14673s and i mean this is when you want dallas
14675s fuel to come to life bring out the star
14677s composition again they talked about it
14679s on the cast colosseum really lends
14681s itself to these solar compositions right
14683s tight corridors stuff like that but
14686s the the winston swaps the doomfist swaps
14688s from the lag ladders it just threw the
14690s dallas fuel off like oh where we got
14693s sparkling tracer edison on the tracer uh
14696s edison on the reaper or sparkles on
14697s soldier like they just shifted so many
14700s things up for the dallas fuel that i
14702s mean the wheels came up geo just like
14704s hinting himself onto the boat and then
14706s nano visors not getting any value with a
14708s grab as well like the ultimate usage was
14710s all over the place so
14711s dallas fuel i mean they were competitive
14713s this series but they're kicking
14715s themselves after a pretty terrible
14716s colossal performance absolutely and i
14718s mean capster popped off on colosseum as
14721s well oh yeah
14722s it was everywhere literally everywhere
14725s omnipresent uh so uh a scary squad to go
14728s up i mean if you have an aimer likes you
14730s on top of an aunt in the team i don't
14733s want to be on the receiving side of that
14734s honestly uh not not too much fun even
14737s less so now that we have so many less
14739s shields on the field to really protect
14741s you from from all that aggression coming
14743s in so uh well congratulations to the
14746s gladiators and this means that the guys
14748s feel just like the shock have to fight
14750s their way through the lower bracket and
14752s now this lower bracket is starting to
14754s look like an upper bracket by our
14756s predictions at least we all thought that
14759s both those teams are gonna make it down
14760s an upper right crazy yeah we just like
14762s flip it around and then my bracket is
14763s still alive everything is well uh now we
14765s do have our first lower bracket match
14769s happening
14770s now and that one is of course a loser
14772s goes home so it's all or nothing for
14775s those two teams a lot of pressure on the
14777s line and we already saw that the
14778s pressure can definitely get to people we
14780s can definitely get to our players on a
14783s lan in front of a crowd we're gonna see
14784s the washington justice fight it out
14787s against the florida mayhem
14791s where do we even go with this can we can
14793s we still trust our picks what are your
14795s expectations for this one no no one
14796s speaks to safe no one speaks it safe
14799s i mean scott even went for the 40
14800s million i think it's a pretty good shout
14802s you know but the washington justice
14804s they're looking pretty sharp of course
14806s took two maps off the san francisco
14807s shock yesterday how much was that san
14809s francisco not looking good i mean
14812s they've also fallen to the lower bracket
14813s now and how much was that um perhaps
14816s washington justice just like finally
14818s showing us what they've got i think this
14819s for the main team again they're good
14821s someone's been spectacular on the tank
14823s roll so far in the florida mayhem and
14825s they got a couple of good rookies so i
14827s mean i'd ask neko as well like can you
14829s really pick a favorite so far in this
14830s match or is it pretty even
14833s i think it's even but i think it comes
14835s down to play style differences you know
14837s we talked about compositional
14838s differences in our
14840s most recent match but moving forward
14842s washington justice and florida mayhem
14844s are both gonna probably come out on
14846s those dive comps with someone on the
14847s winston and of course we've got mag on
14850s the winston i don't think we're gonna
14851s see erisa today i'm not confident in
14853s that one
14854s but you know washington justice does
14856s play a more reactive style with the dive
14859s and i think that if they allow florida
14861s mayhem to
14862s attack first and then react to that i
14865s think that that reactionary style of the
14867s dive could really work out washington
14869s justice's favor
14872s yeah i actually totally agree with you
14874s there especially because i think that
14876s one of the
14877s perhaps errors that someone has
14879s committed most of the time this season
14881s is actually he's over aggressive someone
14883s he goes in too far with his leap cool
14885s down on the winston and then overextends
14887s a little bit and as he's like trying to
14888s get back to his team it's like oh i'm a
14890s bit too far that's when someone gets
14892s picked he's like limping stop being a
14893s man advantage for the enemy team right
14895s he's sleeping back to him exactly yeah
14897s so that's something i look out for you
14899s know that maggots have enticed a
14900s fantastic reactionary winston like necro
14902s just pointed out something to look out
14904s for is someone going to overextend or
14906s the winston and does that open a door
14908s for washington justice to punish this
14910s for the mayhem dive uh also i thank her
14912s i sincerely hope that you spoke urissa
14914s into existence please so much just no
14917s it's wrong
14918s perfect
14920s no we deserve it neko we deserve it now
14923s okay we do deserve the way this game is
14925s gonna go
14927s thank you
14928s uh washington justice or florida mayhem
14931s one of the team will advance in the
14932s lower bracket the other one has to
14935s actually go home so let's see how this
14937s one is going to play out we're heading
14939s into a quick break once again and then
14941s afterwards we're back in texas with all
14943s the action
14967s [Music]
14988s [Music]
14996s [Music]
15018s [Music]
15041s [Music]
15069s oh it's all been fun and games so far
15071s make no mistake but now the stakes get
15075s ratcheted up a notch that's right we're
15077s here of course and that kickoff clash
15080s and in our next two matches
15082s they represent elimination potential for
15085s all four of the teams competing man yeah
15087s we got two teams going home uh later in
15089s the day here uh and you know both of
15091s these two teams in our matchup coming up
15093s you know between florida and washington
15095s now florida i think probably people
15097s favored them against atlanta right
15099s orlando was not looking good towards the
15100s end of the kickoff clash and the number
15102s seven seed uh viewed florida as the
15104s favorite they end up losing that one
15105s then washington goes up 2-0 against the
15107s shock and not able to close it out so
15110s these are two teams that
15112s i think the justice like they're
15114s probably just happy to be playing better
15116s at this point i don't think florida
15117s expected to be down here in the lower
15118s bracket yeah of course that match up
15120s against atlanta we saw florida really
15121s trying to put themselves into a good
15123s position to make those winston-based
15125s compositions work for them they went to
15128s gibraltar that was really the key map
15130s for them to win in that series and they
15131s ran straight into kai's widowmaker and
15134s they could encounter it yes the map
15136s worked for their winston setups but they
15137s didn't account for the widow diff yeah
15139s the widow diff was massive uh there and
15141s i think you know how are you gonna run
15143s into a widow like kai all the time no
15145s but they got happy on the other side
15147s this go around uh so we'll look to see
15149s in terms of like map picks uh if there's
15151s something that washington can do to get
15153s some of that widowmaker action it yeah
15154s we're curious to see how that team's
15155s evolving so far let's waste their time
15157s and bring them out to the stage
15158s everybody make some noise for
15160s washington
15162s justice
15165s okay little club vibe i'm feeling that
15171s now we were surprised yesterday to see
15173s assassin in that starting lineup we said
15175s okay maybe what's the purpose and and
15178s what are they sort of relying on him to
15179s provide for them i think it's pretty
15181s safe to say we were pretty impressed
15183s there were actually opportunities to see
15184s assassin bust out the echo from
15186s yesteryear literally uh and show us that
15189s he's still very much a key part of this
15191s team there was a substitution later on
15193s where decay came in and that's where
15195s things kind of went downhill for this
15196s team so it's a good look to start with
15198s for the justice i thought krillin played
15200s like the best i've ever seen him play in
15202s the overwatch league yesterday
15205s he was absolutely unbelievable on the
15206s ana
15207s can you get games out of him like that
15210s again i'm not sure uh no i saw most of
15212s the desks i actually agree with scott
15214s personally i i think that the florida
15216s mayhem i would pick the florida mayhem
15217s in this series i think the justice they
15219s played extremely well yesterday but
15221s we've seen you know the shock maybe not
15222s as good at this tournament as people
15224s expected and also doing the justice on a
15226s day to day is so hard to judge i i just
15229s don't know if they can do it again yeah
15230s and i mean i spoke to the gm earlier
15232s this morning he said you know we went up
15234s that 2-0 going into half time and he
15236s said guys this has happened before we
15238s have been reversed by the san francisco
15240s shock we need to avoid that we need to
15242s put our foot down and get this series
15244s done unfortunately for them
15247s it didn't happen they really just ran
15249s out of gas there it's a completely
15250s different environment out here atlanta
15252s there's so many other factors to account
15253s for this time they have to have
15255s everything tightened up a little bit
15257s let's bring out their opponents now in
15259s this elimination match everybody welcome
15261s to the arena the florida
15264s mayhem
15266s [Applause]
15271s i miss the mayhem with the uh the palm
15273s trees the props yeah well you know
15276s palm trees i mean they're
15278s doing everything on the way listen i
15280s don't want to see any of their players
15281s looking like props in this series
15284s they need to be very much a part of the
15286s action
15287s from jars with those type of segways
15289s yeah mine now really
15290s i see
15292s all right look sir margin again we
15293s talked about uh ana very impactful other
15296s players yesterday he was one of them
15298s again this is a matchup where those two
15300s are going to be highlighted and i think
15301s that someone continues to impress us as
15304s his winston player it just it just
15306s wasn't enough against atlanta did you
15308s hear the sense maybe some nerves for
15309s florida yesterday uh playing for
15312s yeah you know against atlanta right
15314s atlanta pretty battle tested in terms of
15316s these type of
15317s environments you know go to hawaii get
15318s no points big travel
15320s well i mean they're also used to like
15323s it's funny but
15325s like just kind of like being you know
15326s like
15327s villainous right you know maybe some of
15329s the fan bases look at that that way like
15331s you know that you're not going to get
15332s phased by certain situations right where
15335s i think being in front of the crowd and
15337s even if they're cheering for you right
15338s it's a lot going on an event like this
15340s and i think maybe florida it was a
15342s little much like taking it in yesterday
15344s where maybe they're
15345s they're a bit calmer today um can bring
15347s that game because the justice they
15349s looked calm yesterday against the shock
15350s until the wheels fell off at the end the
15352s influx of rookies this year to the
15353s overwatch league is extremely high and
15355s so getting them in a lan environment
15358s that's obviously a challenge to have
15360s them settle and be able to perform at
15362s their very best again we talk about the
15364s veteran presence of animo on this
15366s florida mayhem team he's been on a lot
15367s of different looking rosters
15369s and look hydra got pitted uh against a
15371s really nasty we don't make a play while
15373s we went to gibraltar that is a
15374s possibility here too but he did look
15377s very good in the 76 matchup uh he did
15379s not look kind of uh you know outclassed
15382s i guess you would say in the soldier 76
15384s matchup so
15385s it's just that widowmaker that i think
15386s you're worried about you got a sick one
15388s on the other side with happy so we have
15390s illios to kick things off here today
15393s yeah and a great chance for obviously
15395s both of these teams to showcase their
15397s winston-based compositions i know some
15399s people are trying to speak this
15400s arisa from mag back into existence it's
15403s unlikely we we see too much more of that
15406s again
15406s feels powerful but once that arm is
15408s stripped away you you just explode yeah
15412s you're you're just done for uh at that
15414s point
15415s see if either team comes up with some
15416s interesting things like we saw mag on
15418s the doomfist a little bit uh yesterday
15420s uh we see some teams picking that up
15422s this event uh we just saw reiner pick up
15424s the reinhardt again we saw some
15426s reinhardt place we're starting to see a
15427s little bit more experimentation in the
15429s tank roll uh
15431s arisa yesterday for the justice
15434s probably won't see it again today uh i
15436s want to remind you as well it was the
15438s justice that switched to mirror that
15440s lucio moira set up
15442s against the shock and that's where
15443s krillin was no longer to have that huge
15445s impact that he'd had over the series in
15447s terms of dictating the price on honor
15449s he was fantastic on the honor
15451s moira just kind of took his play-making
15454s ability out of the question so both
15456s teams come out the game
15458s mirror matchups here it'll be assassin
15460s on the tracer going up against checkmate
15462s i think that's a big battle to watch i
15463s think checkmates looked really strong
15466s he's definitely impressed us this year
15468s getting to showcase much more of those
15469s dps chops
15470s maybe to the justice that try to stake
15472s their claim to this high ground as both
15474s winston's just trying to
15476s displace their foes
15482s what kind of angle are you trying to get
15483s here for florida i mean
15485s you're you're kind of playing on this
15486s low ground but even then washington like
15489s has no real visibility either they have
15491s to jump down and they chase someone
15492s somebody would have liked to flank and
15494s push further along the top of that
15496s lighthouse but with the dive in from
15497s someone he couldn't do that still they
15499s get rid of the winston so now they don't
15500s need to be nearly as elaborate
15502s yeah just really odd at the beginning
15503s right like florida's playing everybody
15505s pretty far back not really any line of
15507s sight for the 76 to do big damage and
15511s quite frankly just a really bad angle
15512s from the low ground up to the high
15513s ground on that corner uh and someone's
15515s the only one that goes in but he gets
15517s dropped rather quickly
15519s pytron here trying to find what poke
15521s damage he can but again it's someone
15522s gets eliminated first the florida mayhem
15525s the tip of their spear is broken
15527s i mean two fights in a row back to back
15530s really fast as
15531s biotic grenade comes in that just really
15533s keeps everybody else alive so sermon
15535s connects with one but still it's gonna
15537s be about 40 plus percent
15539s on the point by time this next fight
15541s kicks off is we gotta you gotta see from
15544s florida you gotta keep someone alive for
15545s a little bit longer he's gotta do a
15547s better job about getting back to his
15549s team dodging some of those biotic
15550s grenades again he's going somewhat deep
15552s there needs to make sure he maintains
15553s that loss between him and sue marjit
15556s 50 now on the clock for the mayhem or
15558s rather for the justice to maim in that
15560s deficit
15561s assassins he's a recall there from
15562s checkmate maybe a chance to go more
15564s aggressively here attack fights are from
15566s happy will definitely make sure no one
15567s accosts him for the next few moments so
15569s there's no real pressure right now on
15570s the justice no it kind of just spreads
15573s them off to the point and you're going
15574s to get the nano onto mac he gets slapped
15577s but you already did the big damage you
15579s got rid of sir majed he had the nano
15581s boost coming online not going to have it
15583s in the fight both winston's getting some
15585s work done there assassin gives someone a
15587s parting gift though
15589s and the justice still
15590s entirely unperturbed by what's going on
15593s the mayhem like the tools to pressure
15594s them they built the ultimate so this
15596s next fight has to showcase the
15598s leveraging of these abilities yes but
15599s you may need to throw all of them in to
15601s flip the point back and
15604s this is so easily stallable for the
15606s justice right you can get them to burn
15608s all the ultimates here and even if you
15609s lose this fight you're good for the next
15611s one attack fighter here from hydro is
15612s going to be a sound barrier he chases
15614s happy down again we talked about that as
15616s those ultimates coming out and you
15618s better believe it
15620s they just send them i mean that's to be
15621s expected uh if the if you're gonna use
15624s sound barrier
15625s nano
15626s tack visor
15629s if you don't win a fight i mean
15631s you've done something disastrously wrong
15633s uh
15634s all they pretty much have to do is use
15636s those ultimates push on through pick up
15638s the kills and that's exactly what i
15639s talked about though the justice get it
15640s to 99 so just one fight has to go their
15642s way
15643s the mayhem now need to get it done uh
15645s the old-fashioned way a rather new
15647s fashion way with less ultimates
15649s happy falls back by the grenade connects
15652s he's able to move forward now that's
15653s already scared seconds bought by the
15656s mayhem from that night connecting
15659s already contesting the point now if they
15660s can okay hydro is able to deal with
15662s assassin there playing pretty far
15663s forward is to make him don't allow the
15665s tracer to have free reign to wrap around
15668s and that's what you rather rely on by
15671s grenade comes in that connects with
15672s animal as that's huge that should
15674s disengage there and also some healing up
15676s front is
15677s might be able to capitalize on this
15679s that's gonna be two
15680s checkmate getting caught there oh you
15682s can't let that happen
15684s the mayhem starting to crumble a little
15685s bit in this round now they need to find
15686s a little bit more but the justice
15689s they can taste the blood in the water
15691s put it in an overtime position now the
15692s mayhem really economically disastrous in
15695s this round losing hydra here is the
15697s death knell no doubt about it
15700s you do have some players coming back off
15701s spawn so someone's gonna come back you
15703s have animo in the mix attack buys are
15706s up yeah big damage coming in here
15708s from happy on the side
15713s despite what the scoreboard might
15714s indicate pretty smooth sailing for the
15716s justice
15718s yeah it's just that one fight that
15719s florida wins to get that 57 percent he
15722s never felt like the justice were in
15724s trouble like even if you lose there you
15725s know you still have another fight or two
15728s because they really get it dominated the
15729s opening sequence there's i think both
15731s teams probably want to keep this comp
15734s running throughout most of this man i
15735s think probably even through most of this
15737s series
15738s there's a good chance of that
15740s we talked about obviously making a you
15742s know a doomfist switch
15744s again that was definitely under some
15746s degree of duress if the justice aren't
15747s being tested in the mirror
15750s why change anything this comp also works
15752s just fine with decay coming in if not
15754s better
15756s here we go so no echo uh here for the
15758s justice which was a possibility with
15760s assassin in the lineup it will be
15762s miracops maintained
15765s you gotta wonder if you're gonna most
15767s likely play tracer like a lot of the
15769s time uh no decay is obviously a
15771s fantastic tracer oh it's uh that's gonna
15774s be checkmate getting an opening kill
15775s there yeah opener over extends to make
15777s sure he lands a boop on someone to not
15779s come off course
15781s somehow though the dive is there and
15783s mac doesn't have to do too much he just
15785s surfs on the roof while his dps go to
15787s work
15788s and all you have is lucio healing
15789s currently for the florida mayhem and you
15791s have some players that are low like can
15793s you cross this large open gap with the
15795s 76 just railing down from the high
15798s ground and take the point because
15800s assassin can just keep this contested or
15802s at least can try to he has to step off
15804s for a quick second but mag on the high
15806s ground is doing big work right now
15807s assassins weary of the boot right that's
15809s gonna force a recall instantly from him
15810s playing from outside of the point
15813s so now he'll continue to harass from the
15814s side that was a shot that came in from
15815s certain margin on the high ground
15818s hydra a little low mag also has taken a
15820s bit of a licking here so you see him
15821s sitting the top writing screen he's
15822s slept in fact
15825s he actually dropped some players to the
15827s low ground and he's actually putting so
15828s much pressure up there trying to not let
15830s hydra get set up now drops down onto the
15832s point i mean that's perfect happy really
15834s punishes someone he finds an angle that
15835s someone can't reposition quickly enough
15837s on the point
15839s you don't want to be on the point where
15840s you've got a soldier that has such a
15841s sick sideline happy drop down to get
15842s that kill
15845s you feel like it's just a matter of oh
15848s before it flips over
15850s to the justice and there it goes so
15852s justice get control they don't have to
15854s use anything to get that as this next
15857s fight coming up mitch you're gonna look
15858s like
15859s everybody having ultimates across the
15860s board i think like who can protect these
15862s 76's on the high ground like mag you see
15864s it on your screen here doing a nice job
15866s trying to take that position already
15867s that sound barrier for animal mat
15869s he's well ahead of opener
15873s it can be a key factor providing his not
15875s broken up by winston bubbles or sight
15883s [Music]
15887s there's the dive for the florida mayhem
15889s they're trying to take the initiative
15890s here but happy drops down and he has
15892s that tactical visor to work with nano on
15894s top of it which means that there was no
15896s way someone wasn't going to get mulched
15898s what a sleep what a finish there
15901s so
15902s and florida ends up using their sound
15904s barrier their virus
15907s but the damage is so big coming out from
15909s happy with the nano visor early that
15911s hydra just gets deleted like before even
15914s gets a benefit to the sound barrier
15916s which is basically insta-kill so now
15918s you'll have primal rage to keep this
15920s going and you'll have your sound barrier
15921s here from washington so good set of
15924s ultimates coming in here to really push
15926s this to probably a one fight territory
15928s being in the lead as well the justice
15930s love to extend that with a good use of
15932s the beat open it needs to be careful
15933s okay he's able to get the beat away
15935s before someone can continue to juggle
15936s him
15937s keeps opening or alive through most of
15939s that primal rage
15940s mac will have his as well someone has to
15942s pull out there and reset
15945s again he's gonna get a nano now someone
15947s and go to the high ground and he
15948s actually gets booped down to the low
15950s ground so someone absolutely in no man's
15952s land right now can't make any type of
15953s play like look where he is on the
15955s winston just kind of like walking around
15957s here with the pulse bomb is
15959s that is really it's a play it's a really
15962s nice play by opener be able to get that
15964s boop knock him to the low ground and
15965s when he gets knocked to the low crown
15967s that's when washington justice push push
15969s through kill his back line
15970s that'll be it is the justice they take
15973s map number one
15978s some confident looks there max's i hope
15980s you're looking at my play of the game
15982s right now chums
15984s as
15985s florida mayhem look a little
15987s shell-shocked
15988s after that first round mirrored
15990s compositions and this is what florida
15992s wanted to force in their match up
15993s against atlanta but it's a completely
15995s different beast a different foe
15998s in front of them and they're coming off
16000s second best right now it's going to have
16001s to be drilling down on the fundamentals
16003s for the mayhem
16005s plenty more left in this series plenty
16006s more life in the mayhem yet let's see
16008s what they can
16009s bring out
16010s after this
16013s [Music]
16035s [Music]
16049s [Music]
16058s um
16066s [Music]
16075s [Music]
16096s do
16103s [Music]
16110s [Music]
16119s [Music]
16136s um
16137s [Music]
16156s [Music]
16170s [Music]
16187s [Music]
16196s [Music]
16206s so
16223s [Music]
16231s [Music]
16236s and yeah it feels real good to be here
16238s atlan
16239s once more the dallas fuel kickoff clash
16241s tournament now if you guys are here at
16244s the venue and i'm looking at you
16245s collectively presently you'll be missing
16247s out on some fantastic in-game rewards as
16249s a part of the location-based rewards in
16252s the overwatch league app install the app
16254s connect your account head over to the
16256s league hub tab on the far left in the
16257s bottom and click on the gift icon in the
16260s top right can get yourself an overwatch
16261s league winston skin league tokens and
16263s some sprays
16265s we know you guys have phones now yeah
16268s we've we have found that out through
16269s extensive market research we know you
16271s have phones yeah we see some of you
16274s currently now on your phones shout out
16276s bpl you can do that
16279s claim those rewards yeah i mean it's
16280s cool obviously the overwatch league
16281s skins are pretty like the overwatch like
16283s themed ones are pretty hard to get uh
16285s usually going through viewership rewards
16287s and such so make sure you get some of
16288s those possible league tokens we didn't
16290s even uh we didn't even get them coming
16292s to the events now we can get them
16294s that's right
16295s here we are though the florida mayhem
16296s better be collecting their rewards
16298s quickly if the game keeps going this way
16300s oh they better have gotten their rewards
16302s already without this guy
16303s i am i'm kind of shocked i thought
16305s florida would
16307s like settle down a little bit with you
16309s know hey we kind of played a little bit
16311s rough yesterday like let's come on bring
16313s it back today didn't really trust the
16314s justice yet again but man uh i looked
16316s wrong i mean that first map was a bit of
16318s a sloppy jalopy from the mayhem very
16321s very i mean losing someone two fights in
16323s a row first
16324s means that they don't have the mechanism
16326s to set the pace of the game midtown is
16328s going to be the second map chosen in
16330s this series of course by the florida
16332s mayhem
16333s let's see what they've got cooked up
16335s on this map it's another one where we
16337s see plenty of these winston cops and
16338s defensively the winston comes with quite
16340s a good amount on that second phase of
16341s the map where you can sort of dive down
16343s on the attackers
16346s and i think it's scary for florida
16348s because the type of play style you
16350s played in map number one is kind of what
16352s you want to play what you think you
16354s could take advantage of from the justice
16356s so
16357s to come out on the losing side of that
16360s kind of double down here as you go into
16362s midtown you'll be able to play a lot of
16364s the same stuff as
16366s no substitutions for uh
16368s either team you're really just kind of
16368s looking at the justice dps what's going
16370s on there is a decay not in again so
16373s it'll be assassin we still decay
16374s yesterday for a little bit
16376s it really feels like a different look
16378s for the justice like we don't want to
16380s sort of mischaracterize the the play
16381s style of assassin versus decayed we kind
16383s of talked about the roles they filled
16385s last year when they played together
16387s a lot of the time assassin was expected
16388s to perform without a lot of resources
16390s invested in him constantly and sometimes
16392s the heroes he'd play like sombra for
16394s example were emblematic of that and
16395s allowed him to play in that way
16397s here on the tracer as well we can see
16398s he's really been there with mag less of
16401s like this the solo play instinct it
16403s seems
16404s and that allows you to focus more on
16406s happy allows krillin to make some more
16408s offensive plays right as we've seen
16411s it'll be the florida mayhem on offense
16413s let's see how they go with their first
16414s approach play out of grenade from
16416s krillin connects with two right off the
16418s rivers let's take a slow approach to the
16420s choke is
16421s looks like the tracer in the 76 will
16423s want to go towards his alley try and
16425s make a wraparound
16426s there's a dive from someone but all it
16428s really does is stake a claim to some
16431s space here no one really there to
16433s capitalize a lot of longer range poke
16435s happening in this part of the map you
16436s see obviously sleep dart it could be
16438s very dangerous for happy so he needs to
16440s be very careful on that corner again
16441s someone misses the mark in trying to
16443s dive that soldier and he has to be
16445s careful when diving onto the 76 and
16447s blocking the line of sight of the fire
16449s truck and is on and not able to heal him
16451s you see right now has to jump out for a
16453s quick second
16454s yeah again that will definitely limit
16456s him okay this is better though stays in
16457s margins line of sight forces the justice
16460s to play back inside the garage and start
16462s capturing the point it's taking a couple
16464s of jumps to get him here but now the
16466s rest of his team can join and start to
16468s keep you know happy mag caught inside
16470s mag trying to open things up and jump on
16472s out another jump off the wall for
16474s someone he could be in trouble there's
16475s no jump cooldown left but happy's
16476s playing conservatively here
16478s yeah you have assassin on the point as
16479s he's put big damage down into someone
16481s and goes up to the high ground for some
16483s healing it's been quite odd since they
16486s moved on to the point the justices were
16488s pretty much full hp and didn't decide to
16489s move forward then they lose krillin now
16491s the dps peeled away from krillin to try
16493s and find a better angle on someone
16495s krillin was on his own had it made
16496s himself and still got taken down bit of
16498s a rotational error from the justice
16500s there it's tough to play from this
16501s position to be sure
16503s but now they're going to be giving
16504s pretty much the whole point up it's
16505s assassin happy moving in with opener now
16507s three players but they're going to be
16508s facing down the tactical fires of the
16510s mayhem have to back away from this key
16512s ultimate soundberry comes half a second
16514s too late
16516s that's devastating for the justice they
16517s need to get it done with four and now
16518s hydron is turning up the geese
16522s he jumps onto the point you're not close
16525s to the primal yet that's what you're
16526s trying to play for here it's krillin not
16528s able to get in line of sight as uh
16530s things kind of fall apart for the
16532s justice at the end didn't really love
16533s how the second part of that fight went i
16535s mean you can see how much of those
16536s fights were predicated on where the
16538s honors were relative to the winstons the
16540s fact that happiness assassin had to
16542s leave krillin on his own for that split
16544s second to get a better angle was what
16545s cost them to start the fight come back
16547s in with tack visor doesn't really give
16549s them the result they're looking for this
16550s could also snowball in favor of the
16552s mayhem rather quickly uh now the car
16553s gonna move around get close to this
16555s first corner you see some players trying
16556s to take control this high ground already
16559s but
16559s with your sound barrier your pulse bump
16562s primal rage here is
16563s maggots with a biotic grenade so he has
16565s to give up this top platform
16567s this could be this could be a really
16569s fast take here on this second point mag
16571s needs to try and regain some of this
16572s space now without going too far notice
16574s he's trying not to overextend playing on
16576s top of the scaffolding there
16579s checkmate also doesn't want to hide
16581s commit too much to the high ground the
16582s justice tentatively happened but the
16583s cart is moving under them already so
16585s they must drop in a few moments nice
16587s little boot there to redirect mag as he
16589s tries to start
16590s something up
16593s so it'll be mag with a primal he's going
16595s to knock these players
16597s really far back on florida but i don't
16600s know if it's going to result in like
16602s anything uh really a nice sleep here
16604s yeah woken up
16605s yep again not really much health to work
16608s with now 500 seems like a lot not up
16611s against soldier and ana just blow you up
16614s someone trying to pressure mag his
16615s teammates can't see him and hydron
16617s forced them away with a tactical visor
16619s threat open i can't really walk right
16621s away from this threat either that recall
16623s being forced from assassin not good
16624s signs here for the justice momentum
16627s favoring the mayhem and they're making
16629s extensive use of it without doubt i mean
16630s mag uses that primal rage goes for the
16632s supports in the 76 and gets nothing and
16636s he gets so split from the team they're
16637s trying to collapse back on but some good
16639s ultimates here is the justice looking
16641s like they want to touch this maybe and
16642s oh it's going to be a fast push here
16644s from florida going to use the sound
16645s barrier get aggressive try and fight it
16647s before they can even get a chance to
16648s touch so margin punishes opener in a big
16650s way there by a grenade connecting on to
16652s the lucio follow it up with the sound
16653s barrier of your own and you are in a
16655s much better position
16657s now the justice baby
16659s want to try and get out alive
16669s gonna get some more payload progress
16671s here
16671s for essentially free
16673s right
16675s 3 30 on the clock a lot for the mayhem
16678s to work with here in
16679s an extra sort of contingency against
16682s another mag dive in the form of that
16683s pulse bomb unless checkmate wants to
16685s look for something himself
16687s right now they're probably content to
16688s push
16689s happy sidelines a little
16691s constrained
16694s by virtue of the car being where it is
16695s it's also probably hard to play
16697s aggressive with this tech visor in this
16698s position because there's so many areas
16700s where florida can spread and hide you
16702s almost want to wait until they have to
16703s turn this corner and come out into the
16704s oven or just get in their face with the
16706s nano right just run at them yeah which
16708s we've sort of seen before to break
16709s through chokes by some teams
16711s okay no wrinkle available for checkmates
16713s we need to stay
16715s there's nothing
16717s yeah i really feel like you can go maybe
16718s more aggressive with that but
16720s if you do you go around that corner you
16722s you can get crossfired for your ways
16725s they needed him they're trying to keep
16726s happy alive it wasn't enough checkmate
16729s bulldozes him
16734s it's like you would have loved the nano
16735s like this corner that they're about to
16737s turn where like that home stretch that's
16739s where the nano could have been really
16741s effective from happy right you have the
16743s nano and the tack visor here it's like
16745s wide open they go around that pillar
16746s still open not a lot of rooms to go into
16749s at that moment that's where the visor
16750s would have been really effective these
16752s sidelines really start to favor hydra
16753s now and he knows it tactical visor nano
16756s boost pressure on mag sound barrier has
16758s to be used there by opener and sleep
16760s down on the winston it's got to be a
16761s primer from mag and even then he's
16763s barely getting out alive he's low it'll
16765s be chased down by checkmate the trace is
16767s starting to have some impact assassin
16769s wants to try and reciprocate and he's
16771s going to be somewhat to fall a big
16773s clutch helix rocket from the periphery
16775s from happy we'll break the deadlock and
16777s give the justice some room to breathe
16780s yes we're on board with hydra and he
16781s ends up using the visor everybody able
16784s to get back into the spa and play really
16786s deep
16787s as matt gets the primal rage the right
16789s time so we got here with about like what
16791s it's like three minutes plus you're
16792s talking about like on the clock very
16794s down at a minute 30. so pretty decent
16797s hold from the justice here where it
16798s looked like it was going to get out of
16799s control there'd be no damage control map
16801s for about half of this map
16803s after losing the initiative in that
16805s second phase
16807s now they have a sound barrier to work
16808s with here it's going to be instrumental
16810s especially if there's some pressure
16811s headed in margin's direction
16814s glancing blow on assassin he's supposed
16816s to play back a check mate is hunting
16818s pulse bomb throw down it's gonna pull
16819s the sound barrier out of the making here
16821s they want to try and dig deep and
16822s hydrant getting assassin is a great
16824s start checkmate happy enough for the
16826s time being
16827s allowing the justice to come forth
16829s emerge from their hiding holes but happy
16831s gets nano attackfisher though really
16833s gets nullified and hydrogen is in such a
16834s good spot to work here
16837s players to touch but they were otherwise
16839s occupied
16841s and they missed an opportunity there
16843s when
16846s they spread a little bit and
16848s guanimo is right on the corner and they
16851s know where he is there's two players
16852s looking at him and nobody like jumps on
16854s him like a mag was right there he could
16856s have just like went at animal probably
16857s could finish them off himself or forced
16859s him around the corner and happy would
16861s have taken him out they just kind of sit
16862s there uh
16864s everybody got mayhem signs today uh
16866s that's a lot of bricks yeah not sure
16868s that's the official hashtag but
16870s well at one point for a time yeah for a
16874s for a blissful time yes yeah
16876s so 51 seconds on the clock for the
16878s florida mayhem
16880s and you mentioned that that about you
16881s know 90 seconds did get shaved off in
16883s that last phase of the map but given how
16885s treacherous midtown can be i think
16887s you're pretty happy with that now as you
16889s move to defense
16890s and look some key moments there as well
16892s from from checkmate you know he goes
16893s hunting uh but it's hydron that connects
16896s with assassin with a big helix rocket
16898s and that last phase of the map really
16900s suits him it's well within his optimal
16902s range hard to flank and pressure him as
16904s defenders
16906s good looks from the florida mayhem after
16908s a slow start do you think you feel
16910s comfortable as florida though with that
16912s never no no not on this map not not on a
16915s winston-based defense composition either
16918s we we see
16919s it's one of the most volatile one of the
16921s most
16922s punished
16923s all that has to happen is put out
16925s position or someone puts a bubble over
16927s lucio when he's sound bearing and
16928s everything just
16929s uh yeah goes the wrong way
16935s you can get picked off so easy as well
16937s by the 76 with like an honor shot coming
16940s in
16940s if there's a slight
16945s [Music]
16951s obviously very convenient for someone to
16953s drop down it's just hydron is the issue
16955s needs to keep tabs on where margins
16957s playing from
16958s oh the body block of the sleeping wits
16962s someone
16963s even gonna survive that that's huge
16966s it's also not a great position for mac
16969s to jump into uh makes it very difficult
16972s on krillin there's a gonna be a bubble
16974s coming in the way the bubble's not gonna
16975s get broken
16976s i can't really do anything in that range
16978s unless the bubble breaks in time gets a
16980s nade out like it makes it really
16981s difficult for mag to get any type of
16983s healing there
16985s there's to be an excellent winston
16986s player to find success in situations
16987s like this and speaking of the devil
16990s someone having a dispatch assassin now
16992s this gives the mayhem a bit of a green
16994s light to pressure a little bit further
16996s under this underpass
16999s [Music]
17001s maybe if you're washington do you try
17002s and take like the alleyway here do you
17004s try and go for high ground
17007s seems like a lot of teams just go for
17008s this lower approach try and maybe poke a
17011s little bit and then get over the
17013s opposite side of the fire truck and make
17014s a play we talked about this team being
17015s on the same page or rather not being on
17017s the same page a lot
17018s if it's still an issue it's going to be
17020s exposed here mag dive tools in garage
17022s look at the winter bubble cuts off line
17024s of sight that's someone putting it down
17025s to make it hard for muncher to keep max
17027s standing forces magic to get out
17028s prematurely the nana wants someone
17031s though
17032s they disengage completely as soon as the
17034s nano comes out onto someone
17036s they run away so it's going to be
17037s hydrant here on a flank as well with a
17039s visor happy tries to go aggressive with
17041s the visor of his own but it's the biotic
17043s grenade from margin that shuts him down
17044s hydron getting rid of assassin that's a
17047s big deal he's relatively safe in this
17049s position is the justice of very
17051s sporadically distributed he goes from
17054s the high ground he actually goes through
17055s the subway car and comes all the way
17057s around drops down the opposite side of
17058s the choke with attack fiser from behind
17061s enough to clean up finish off a few of
17063s the players is
17065s the justice in some trouble now a minute
17067s 35 or so on the clock
17070s you got a pulse bomb you got a sound
17072s barrier here might be your only sound
17073s barrier of this half decent setup though
17075s for the justice got mag in a position
17078s where he can be tended to and he's able
17079s to create that space and put the mayhem
17081s back on their side of the map that's a
17083s stick oh checkmate
17087s someone order a special delivery
17091s mag they're primal getting real angry no
17094s one there to see it at this time though
17095s now the pressure comes on anonymous
17097s there with a sound barrier in time as
17098s much it was feeling the heat getting rid
17100s of krillin though someone and mag
17103s walks away with nothing frustrating i'm
17105s sure for the justice getting ceremonies
17107s now this fight goes longer someone has
17109s no healing available and the door's now
17111s open for the justice
17113s you don't have a tick though
17115s so you can regroup here if you're
17116s florida what's up it'll be checkmate
17119s going on getting a touch so still not
17121s even one tick now you'll get that first
17123s tick you're gonna get close to the
17124s second one but you're at full strength
17126s if you're in florida you're also going
17127s to have this nano boost you can contest
17130s florida by their time this needs to be
17132s well executed though
17133s someone drops down to the point they'll
17135s find it going out of the backline and no
17136s mag is gonna be able a chase hydro down
17139s happy has a very safe vantage point now
17141s as well florida were unable to really
17143s scout the position of the justice
17145s players and that made ruined their day
17147s mag puts enough pressure on the supports
17149s where they have to rotate out they're
17150s not able to see someone so not able to
17154s use that nano boost you end up holding
17155s onto it maybe you want to hold on to it
17157s as well for the 76 on the high ground
17159s here use it on the attack bikes are
17161s coming in is
17162s washington barely scrapes through
17164s getting that first point
17166s they started the right foot here though
17168s by having mag just surge ahead and
17170s play pretty safely around that corner
17172s happy has an excellent advantage once
17174s more
17176s mag a defensive body grenade there
17177s thrown in his direction
17179s assassin's pulse bomber could have been
17180s big but it's stuck on the doorframe
17186s this feels real early
17188s yeah i mean that the mayhem we're able
17190s to fold back pretty quickly and now that
17191s that has expired this is we're going to
17192s try and pressure and punish mag a little
17194s more hydro knocked up there able to find
17196s open with that nano visor
17200s that nano on the mag was pretty bizarre
17202s uh
17204s was not in a position to
17206s engage go in uh
17208s didn't catch his health before that like
17210s maybe just to heal him up and then they
17211s thought he was gonna go
17213s now the only other thing i can think of
17214s is maybe they were actually trying to
17216s get happy rotating around the staircase
17218s and get him up there with the nano and
17219s the attack visor and
17221s just kind of mag walked in front i mean
17223s i threw it all through it all away it's
17225s just a really weird play
17227s it looks strange yeah it was in the
17230s mayhem we're able to disengage with
17231s plenty of warning definitely felt
17232s strange after he got it nothing really
17234s happened well this is going to delay
17236s things a little more mac hit by the bio
17239s someone able to get a lot of information
17240s playing from this position
17242s and he could make a counter dive attempt
17244s of his own here look at all the
17245s attention he's taking
17248s meanwhile matt getting slapped around a
17250s bit here's that primal rage now
17252s fists are flying oh the juggling is a
17254s little scary happy could be in some
17256s danger but hydra is able to find opener
17258s as well even better for the mayhem
17260s someone gets out and says the one kill
17262s on the lucio
17263s more than enough
17265s it's a few fights go in florida's favor
17268s this is a very difficult point to cap
17270s because you're also if you're the
17272s justice right you have to get it under
17273s the underpass completely then around
17275s that corner where you can really stall
17276s out pretty well at the end give you the
17278s florida maps florida puts themselves in
17280s a really good spot
17281s that's we had to see the body block to
17283s me make it so that someone couldn't
17285s actually just jump out of that position
17287s nice job by the justice identifying that
17289s opportunity to punish the
17291s winston player advantage carp though
17294s still needs to move well and truly under
17295s this little bridge and max not able to
17298s body block and prevent hydra from
17299s getting back to safety he has to do the
17301s same
17303s it's gonna make it out with his life
17304s though and five ultimates here for the
17306s justice to try and extend this map yeah
17309s so much right and happy space there he's
17311s able to get a body grenade out of the
17312s soldier 76 but the sound barrier means
17314s the justice construct those effects off
17316s pretty comfortably they burst forth here
17318s in this overtime and they're able to get
17320s the advantage there's no way checkmate's
17322s going to get away with this as krillin
17323s finds a bio just for him and it will be
17326s that second checkpoint here
17327s for washington
17329s well that's one way to do it brute force
17331s with the attack visor
17333s some kills here falling up towards the
17335s end not as much of a stagger as you saw
17338s our first half but not a lot of time to
17340s get this over you know to complete the
17342s map in a minute and 12 on the clock
17345s you're looking at what two fights three
17346s fights possibly with how long some of
17348s these go
17350s here florida probably concerns trying to
17352s take a fight earlier i can test the car
17353s draw them out of this position hard to
17355s do though with anyone but uh someone
17358s krillin here oh the nade okay checkpoint
17360s was this able to even the legend there
17362s were two kills krillin dropped down
17364s checkmate handily dispatching the entire
17366s backline of the justice effectively
17368s stopping that push
17370s it's huge you just use that pulse bomb
17372s you're able to stop the push right there
17374s this is gonna burn a lot of time off of
17375s the clock
17377s and put the justice in desperation
17379s territory and now you're gonna force the
17381s justice to run right in you and guess
17382s what you have that nano visor you can
17384s give that nano to hydra and let him go
17386s to work pulse bomb seated there by
17388s assassin with the mayhem of spry enough
17390s to keep clear of it
17392s no recall available for assassin needs
17394s to wait for just aoe kills by the looks
17396s of things but again the back line for
17397s the mayhem is gone i mean florida are
17399s doing what you kind of asked matt
17400s playing fairly far forward but they are
17402s exposing animal and margin to the
17404s aggression the justices have here
17405s washington yeah style of execution
17408s that's okay though if you're florida you
17409s got out the primal range that's a huge
17411s ultimate in terms of stall and just
17413s displacement you can come back now you
17415s have your own primal you have your own
17417s nano visor
17419s you might have one on the other side too
17421s though i know happy we'll see he's got
17423s this and oh that's an early kill on a
17425s checkmate that's huge krillin with a
17427s line check mate up there a lot of burst
17428s damage taken but hydron's looking to
17430s make use of that visor now he's hit with
17432s a body grenade for a brief moment but
17433s now he's able to punish assassin trying
17435s to back away what a connection with the
17437s helix
17438s attack fighter his own now over times
17440s ticking pushing towards the card he
17442s fights two and matt gets involved the
17444s watches and justice dig in their heels
17446s and now it's a matter of getting rid of
17448s someone how much time can he buy for the
17449s rest of his team jumping back in their
17452s direction but the biotic grenade will
17453s steal the deal
17455s [Applause]
17460s i feel like that one florida is going to
17462s wish they had back uh they have an
17465s opportunity there
17466s nanovisor comes up big i thought matt
17468s did a really nice job playing around the
17470s cart you know dodging that but it's you
17472s know it's uh happy
17479s they get rid of checkmate that's a good
17480s point he's a biotic grenade onto mag
17482s onto the payload as soon as the visor is
17485s popped by happy it's a primal from
17487s someone sleeps him they're able to wrap
17489s around they go past him so the visor
17491s doesn't just wake him up uh and and he's
17494s like the only healer up for a lot of
17495s that time because you lost opener so
17498s sick play again from krillin it's not
17500s choice of name considering that his
17501s namesake has a habit of dying first in
17503s the anime and he just never does
17506s i have never watched any anime in my
17507s entire life so i would have no idea
17509s about that who just called himself i
17511s think one person
17513s i mean tough crowd holy yeah that's a
17516s classic
17520s they have the cowboys here they're used
17522s to doing
17523s [Laughter]
17525s oh dear i'm glad i'm up here
17527s all right a minute plays a minute 51
17530s for the florida mayhem again like you
17532s said probably we still had that one back
17533s in a position to you know end the round
17535s in that overtime but
17537s krillin strikes again
17539s taking checkmate off the table you
17541s really wonder about the momentum just
17543s kind of like on the stage right now
17546s washington camp said at the end florida
17548s feel like they probably had it won
17550s if washington's able to take this point
17554s you're able you're able to turn this map
17556s back into the favor of the justice
17557s that'd be oh it'd be tough it took them
17560s literal eons the justice to really get
17562s all their ducks in a row for a
17564s successful push mack that by the grenade
17566s can he slink away yes the mayhem are so
17569s risk-averse right now like don't follow
17570s the winston that has his healing denied
17575s he's just just trying to find an opening
17577s right now
17578s playing a little bit safer
17581s so they know there's an opportunity to
17583s catch somebody out here on this high
17584s ground i feel like there's another bio
17587s this one hits on to someone
17589s still tough to find an opening the
17591s justice again taking their sweet time
17593s but that's something they've got very
17595s little of right now three seconds left
17597s in the round and they've lost mag
17598s assassin has to recall he was on the
17600s point yes it will be out of trigger over
17602s time sure
17603s the justice just don't have the pieces
17605s in play right now
17607s assassin looks to pressure once more
17608s another recall was there happy forced
17610s out of line of sight by hydron who
17611s really has a very target rich
17613s environment
17615s helix rocket connection assassin has to
17616s blink through him and will blink no more
17620s patches lands on margin but there's no
17622s chance to touch the point after that
17624s adjusters come away with zero ticks zero
17626s percent it's a nice biotic grenade from
17629s majed at the beginning lands right on
17631s top of mag and they're like he's trying
17633s to juggle around his bubbles stay alive
17637s not able to do so
17639s things just fall apart there once you
17640s lose your winston there at the choke
17642s it's tough
17643s and now you need to find a way to force
17645s the draw
17647s in fairness both teams were
17650s reluctant to
17651s get too aggressive i think the fire
17653s truck on on point a really poses quite a
17656s significant logistical issue for these
17657s teams in terms of making sure they can
17659s bloody see their main tank yeah
17662s because you try and dive a little bit
17663s further than that there's so many
17664s corners that
17666s you can't rely on the honor to get
17667s through the choke alone right so we'll
17669s just be one tick here for the florida
17671s mayhem
17672s florida navy's map number two they don't
17674s need this man for sure i agree
17677s you know to play as well as they did on
17678s their map
17681s and to not be able to take it and you
17682s know and get themselves even in this
17684s series would be pretty heartbreaking
17685s just a brutal feeling losing your own
17688s epic right
17690s i guess you feel it's fair to go down uh
17693s you know losing the maps that you choose
17694s but still it's
17696s quite brutal and such a what looks at
17698s least this far on this map like a very
17700s evenly matched game but again as these
17703s teams if there's an inability to
17704s coordinate their winston dives it gets
17706s exposed big time on a map like this
17709s so a minute 50 to work with everybody
17711s the florida mayhem may be able to cycle
17713s into some ultimates but
17715s i mean not too many
17719s it's one of the more punishing chokes
17721s you would think right someone's playing
17722s for counter dive positioning right now
17725s trying to bait them in a little bit yeah
17729s okay so hydra is trying to guarantee
17732s a nice wide flank pretty safe sidelines
17736s again there's a lot of rumination that
17737s has to occur earlier someone's low on hp
17740s so once he's mag looking a little
17742s haggard and makes the dive assassin gets
17744s caught out there in the mayhem they pick
17746s their spot to perfection
17748s now it's a matter of sticking the
17749s landing
17750s only one takes all they need and that
17752s big old biomaid from sir margie a
17755s perfect 10 from the judges
17757s [Applause]
17759s and the florida mayhem even up the
17761s series
17763s not a fan about how the justice played
17765s that on defense krillin so far back put
17769s mag in a position where he gets really
17770s low they have to drop down is
17773s florida man fans are excited now mitch
17776s and so they should be a good look for
17777s them again in those mirrored winston
17780s compositions florida look vastly better
17782s on this map they look like they're in
17784s tune with each other and their approach
17786s to point a on midtown was extremely
17789s fruitful
17790s washington justice now it's back to the
17792s drawing board make sure everybody is
17794s aligned it's map three looms large
17797s [Music]
17830s so
17832s [Music]
17839s [Music]
17839s [Applause]
17840s [Music]
17855s [Applause]
17859s [Music]

18026s [Music]
18038s [Music]
18056s the man the myth the luchador that's
18059s right for just 200 league tokens you can
18061s get the kickoff clash legendary skin
18063s luchador reaper on sale now through june
18066s 25th the best hero in the game matt yeah
18071s opinion he's very powerful
18074s especially when he comes in from the
18076s side flanking you know yep
18078s undetectable
18081s unless he's this matter and he just
18082s right he just like shadow steps in front
18084s of you but he has his bubble so it's
18085s fine
18086s so we go into the third map in the
18089s series all tied up want a piece it'll be
18092s the justice map pick and i think what's
18094s interesting about the justice mapping no
18096s subs coming into this next one ross is
18098s going to say the same uh they go with
18100s watchpoint gibraltar so we talked a
18102s little bit about the widowmaker battle
18104s at the beginning of the series where
18106s uh the florida man picked this map
18108s into the atlanta reign and kai on the
18110s widow is crazy good
18113s you got happy on your side if you're the
18115s justice you probably saw that yesterday
18116s and we're like we're gonna do the same
18118s thing yeah and you come in here and pick
18120s it let's see how florida adjusts though
18122s uh because florida they tried to play
18123s the widow at first then they started to
18125s play some of the genji genji tracer i
18127s wonder what they decided to do early on
18130s we've been discussing how these teams
18132s are using their winston comps a lot now
18134s in this series because obviously that's
18135s the only thing i've been playing
18136s and it's it's quite different than
18138s talking through the xy or the reinhardt
18140s looks because there's a really big macro
18141s element of like rotation to where your
18143s supports are and also the micro element
18145s of like people just being ready to back
18147s the winston up
18148s uh
18149s it makes it like a little bit more in
18151s the weeds i guess to try and talk about
18153s how these two teams are going when it
18154s comes to executing those looks
18156s but here i mean and as we saw on sort of
18158s midtown
18160s we know what the win conditions
18161s definitely are for the floor to make him
18162s here and they are really about hydro
18164s being able to have an impact not
18165s necessarily take widow duels
18168s but also to sort of punish someone like
18170s opener has to maybe play towards the
18171s ground
18172s he just seems to be a threat to happy
18174s right you can't just unhappy take these
18176s sight lines block it off dominate them
18179s you know get hedged you have to believe
18180s you can win force yourselves into
18182s positions
18184s even if you can't win just keep uh keep
18187s it honest right
18189s a genji for the justice so
18192s you're gonna put a lot of pressure onto
18194s hydra right with genji and widow
18197s yeah hydro is gonna have to be looking
18199s front and center and of course for any
18200s flanking opportunities mag with the
18203s biomaid hit there
18205s he's gonna be covered up pretty
18206s comfortably now he's happy he's playing
18207s towards the ground right now trying to
18209s be a little bit less predictable about
18210s the angles he chooses to take like this
18212s one
18213s okay yeah headshot very cool
18215s someone smiling from that one but the
18217s justice gets slowed up by a triple bio
18219s hit
18221s santa slow down for just a second but
18223s having the widow on the side of the
18225s florida mayhem that doesn't allow happy
18227s to just take this position and just sit
18229s and dominate this high ground blue
18232s happy rotates around finds a headshot on
18234s the checkmate i mean assassin's doing a
18235s lot of work there as well so much poke
18237s damage to follow up the dive
18239s the justice yeah i mean it stands to
18241s reason that they feel pretty confident
18243s in this setup and now you know for hydro
18245s there's only so many positions you can
18246s actually take here those should all
18248s probably be you know happy's aware of
18250s kind of all of them
18251s i mean you have mag already set up on
18253s the high ground uh someone forcing him
18255s back maybe a man up on the high ground
18257s you have the widowmaker to deal with and
18258s then also a genji like there's really
18260s like hydra needs some help to get out of
18262s that position
18263s someone's sleeping and he's narrowed
18264s down
18265s [Music]
18268s stop the clock
18270s check him pc
18272s i mean this is what we kind of teased
18274s and what we were looking for from the
18276s washington justice
18277s and we don't play it potentially without
18279s equal
18281s it's a good thing we don't have custom
18282s jaws in your jaws with a curse
18284s that was that was a wild shot i mean
18288s what in the world does that
18290s and this is what happy provides a very
18292s few dps players can unreal
18295s a very feeling have you seen anybody
18297s else do that
18299s not really
18301s okay primal rage here for someone
18303s again
18304s no singular target for him here but as
18306s much as he can displace he'll try to
18308s hydrons take him down by assassin it's
18310s not a good sign here for the mayhem
18312s someone is also getting awful low when
18314s happy finishes the job
18317s can you win a point off of just one kill
18319s i mean that was just like
18321s well i you can win a heart off one kill
18324s i mean that is just
18327s there's nobody who hit shots like that
18330s in the lead
18332s uh that is just an unreal no he saw that
18335s clip the other day where uh he was
18336s getting juggled and like uh hit the
18339s the tracer
18341s i mean that one was even more impressive
18344s dangerous times now and it's a recall
18346s assassin does see a brigitte in front of
18348s him and thinks better of it but again
18350s this is enough to keep the justice
18352s moving now that infrasight about the
18353s timeout still yielding valuable
18355s information for happy who takes a bit of
18358s a
18358s strange angle here on the low ground and
18360s moves the card at the same time assassin
18362s link is a little too close though to
18363s someone and that's the risk with genji
18364s here hydron beautiful two headshots two
18367s supports down that's big for the florida
18369s mayhem you get control of the shuttle up
18371s in the high ground you take away some of
18373s those sight lines
18374s and you let hydron punish this is where
18376s he can really start to turn up make an
18379s impact and now he gets to you know
18381s assume a bit more of a friendly position
18383s for widowmaker using the contouring of
18385s the top of that shuttle to be a little
18387s bit unpredictable
18388s happy has eyes for another though
18391s so margin inside the shuttle was hoping
18393s to catch a glimpse off
18396s no automotive he turned his shield to
18398s the side
18400s prime opportunity for happy to
18401s capitalize upon and pretty sure margie
18403s went for a sleep dart there it's all
18405s going wrong now for the mayhem they're
18406s gonna have to regroup
18410s this is a map that florida probably
18411s feels pretty good on as well they end up
18413s picking it yesterday against atlanta
18416s uh
18417s here i mean i think it's just a you're
18419s running into what two of the better
18420s widowmakers in the region right one
18422s after another yeah
18425s all right animo here here with the body
18426s grenade but still the rally gonna keep
18428s him fairly durable now
18431s assassin
18432s pressure here is he's not really being
18434s looked at hydra could be in trouble
18437s getting work down by that smg but okay
18439s not a bad shot in the foot
18442s we'll take that assassin unable to
18444s complete the kill now and krillin under
18446s a lot of pressure has to buy her nade
18448s himself and that's not really enough
18449s that the card snuck over yeah the card
18451s snuck over i was gonna say uh this is
18454s great at the end but the carts already
18456s through
18457s frustration bubbling surely for the
18459s mayhem here
18460s i i
18462s it is tough to be hydra in here i mean
18464s we've seen him hit some nice shots thus
18466s far but he is under so much pressure
18468s it's
18469s it's got to be so difficult to operate
18476s all right hydron reveals his but okay
18478s that's just a little obscure isn't it
18480s that's a sweaty gamer spot
18483s happy
18484s okay
18486s all right
18487s hydra's in the building in just a half
18488s second more charge for happy
18491s i could have gone the other way
18492s very close
18494s you just gotta hit a few of those right
18496s they scare happy from taking those
18498s really aggressive angles forcing to
18500s respect you yeah
18502s so both widows gonna have infrasight i
18504s imagine they counter each other you
18505s should get a little stalemate for a bit
18508s there's one
18511s defensive widows tend to hold on to
18513s those infrasights until they hear don't
18515s want to be disadvantaged and don't mind
18517s too much about having an infrasight of
18519s their own
18520s and mag pressuring hydron is able to hop
18522s skip jump away grapple into sport
18526s now open this down to the justice yeah
18528s unsure about whether they should sort of
18529s proceed and mag was on an island
18532s someone did a really nice job there
18534s separating the back line from mag mag
18536s dives in he jumps right on top of opener
18539s ends up getting the kill but the bubble
18541s it blocks any opportunity for krillin
18544s and even uh they're happy in that
18546s position to get any damage down or
18548s healing
18552s assassins really just prodding right now
18554s waiting for mag to open up a chance to
18555s follow up with the blade
18557s checkmate oh that's beautiful margin
18560s from downtown a biomate on krillin not a
18563s darn thing he could do
18565s the justice just seemed all out of sorts
18567s no no they were kind of rolling up until
18568s this point
18570s and you know what i say it's easy but
18573s you know when your widow's
18575s dunking on somebody in the beginning of
18576s like every fight right or you know
18578s getting two
18580s move the car pretty freely
18582s you see the angles happy has to play
18584s from now not taking those aggressive
18586s angles it's a little bit harder to find
18588s those entry kills
18590s yeah acute angles from him and an ugly
18592s scenario for the justices they have a
18594s large expanse to cross
18596s a lot of threats waiting for them here's
18598s the dive here's the blade assassin the
18600s type to break down the front door
18601s instead of sneaking up on you
18603s knew his goose was absolutely cooked
18606s and the nano's invested here from the
18608s florida mayhem uh they put it on to
18610s someone
18611s so this should allow the justice to move
18613s the card a little bit but more
18614s importantly happy should be able to get
18616s set up on one of these high ground
18618s perches
18620s just start clicking heads as they come
18621s out of the spawn is they gotta be so
18623s careful here the defense has been pretty
18625s good from florida though now the mayhem
18627s are like the turtles that need to make
18628s it to the water you know what i mean
18630s happy gets to set up and watching come
18631s out of spawn big bionate hydrant tries
18633s to go for the bastion play
18635s and that bio gets shrugged off here so
18637s the mayhem how well are they set up
18639s someone not able to find purchase
18641s they're unhappy who's able to get away
18643s still wants to come in here okay
18645s happy needs to go to wizan is going to
18647s get topped up here in france gotta be
18648s popped hydron doesn't have it available
18650s right now
18651s it's just sick angles and hydra is not
18652s going to happen because he switched to
18654s the bastion is
18655s goes back to bastion again going to come
18657s out of the spawn
18658s oh it's a mayhem classic little wheels
18661s mode echoes of zephyr but it's not gonna
18663s get the job done this time
18666s points for a creativity
18668s and a big old throwback to yesteryear
18671s the justice are
18673s gonna get what they came for and get the
18674s map done no time left sure mayhem fans
18677s would love some of those previous strats
18679s to be left in the past
18683s that was uh against the houston outlaws
18685s on this very map
18686s well the outlaws fans remember
18691s oh dear one of the more cantankerous uh
18694s events in
18695s overwatch league history yeah very
18697s cantankerous what was that i agree it's
18699s yeah it's just extremely contagious
18706s the map done there for the justice
18707s though feels like a win especially with
18709s how much they got slowed down and it's
18710s really struggling for assassin to find a
18712s way to
18713s to get in position
18715s to actually get that genji
18717s in someone's face now happy all right
18719s switching over to the ash here matt
18723s it's quite interesting
18725s to play the ash here in this position uh
18728s maybe it's because they saw that florida
18730s played the uh tracer genji the other day
18733s yeah maybe they want to play the ash
18734s with
18735s uh the dynamite can hurt some players up
18738s close coach gunn be a little bit more
18740s defensive
18743s cheers for the florida mayhem erupting
18747s see what they can do here again
18749s finishing the map is the bare minimum
18752s so it needs to be something a little
18753s more than that
18754s no symmetra play to begin with genji
18756s tracer seems to be the order of the day
18758s here a lot of pressure on backlines and
18760s happy sort of preparing for that in
18762s advance yep
18763s it's uh what they ran the other day so
18765s they ran the widow at the start but when
18766s the widow wasn't working they switched
18768s to this so
18770s come out right away it looks like
18771s hydrant going back so i like this switch
18773s hydrant sees that they have the ash
18775s don't play the genji like don't commit
18777s to the genji
18778s outrage this ash play the widowmaker
18780s this is an opportunity for you to start
18782s taking over some of these angles there
18783s were definitely some parts of the map
18784s where the widow is heavily favored
18786s depending on the angles that hydron
18788s chooses to take and you can see that
18790s i mean with happy being conspicuously
18791s absent from sightlines right now he's
18793s conceding a bit of ground oh okay
18795s assassin
18797s body shots enough to take down the
18798s tracer
18802s see what the widowmaker can do here just
18805s force this positioning right
18807s and even if you don't force the
18809s positioning per se it's just it makes
18811s you so cautious to cross gaps and
18814s take routes you normally would take
18816s because just one shot from that widow is
18818s going to seal the deal and that is an
18820s easy point age
18822s the justice i wouldn't even say they
18823s lost an intrinsic part of their setup
18825s there with assassin going down early
18826s it's nice to have but if you can execute
18828s a dive of your own it's fine who dies
18830s with mag at that point he's just not in
18833s a position to do anything about that
18836s i also just feel like it's a really good
18838s comp switch from the florida mayhem
18840s take advantage of the ash play take
18842s advantage of checkmate's genji as well
18844s which is definitely uh of some renown
18848s now you look at like hytron and
18850s checkmate you can get a pick here early
18852s you've said a really fast time to take
18853s this second checkpoint
18855s another very threatening body grenade
18857s there from somebody a little easier to
18859s hit these as you just got to get them
18860s inside the shuttle
18862s i wonder if the plan is oh assassin oh
18864s no
18865s i wonder if the plan is to stay on the
18867s ash oh a nice headshot there is that's a
18869s a grapple up and a headshot on the
18871s krillin i wonder if the plan is to stay
18873s on the ash hope that you can dive hydra
18876s and give him trouble that switches him
18877s off of that and then maybe you think the
18879s ash is a little bit more effective
18882s because you weren't going for that right
18883s you probably would have conceded and
18885s maybe have gone for the widow matchup
18888s happy may be regretting that now
18890s he's really not had a lot of
18891s opportunities to put any form of
18893s pressure or have teammates put pressure
18894s on hydro
18897s checkmate has a blade here takes note of
18899s happy's position and
18900s there it is the widow out arranging the
18902s ash in hydron
18904s quicker on the trigger finger apparently
18906s checkmate tries to take off and he's
18908s blasting off again
18910s so maybe nano boost here on the walls
18911s opener and someone the mayhem really
18913s want to get this one home right now that
18915s pulse bomb not connecting for assassin
18916s that's gonna hurt the defensive end is
18918s here for the justice
18921s returning to the card is someone but
18922s there's still a tracer there to deal
18923s with
18924s and maggot just jumped in really deep
18928s trying to kill hydra and finally makes
18930s it back to the team and happy finishes
18931s them off but the justice they barely
18934s hold on let's see now if they can get on
18937s top of this shuttle
18938s and lock it down for a little bit they
18940s need to buy themselves some more time
18942s also during that fight krillin gets the
18944s nano on the opener the nano brick is
18946s filthy when it's the fight happen on the
18948s cart like that
18951s yeah the inspire healing now just
18952s ticking off everything you do is pretty
18954s ridiculous
18955s as well as your legitimate damage threat
18957s oh okay hydra not ready for this oh it's
18959s dangerous
18960s mag hunt to you but look at that the
18962s infrasight yields all the information
18964s that hydra needs to complete another
18966s crucial kill
18968s what happened well that's a biotic
18970s grenade that's on a checkmate as he
18971s pulls out the blade he's got to be
18973s careful the rally was going no fear
18976s he'll chase down krillin's going to get
18977s dispatched as well here the mayhem well
18979s positioned everything's going their way
18982s and they've got a lot of time to work
18983s we're still 240 on the clock sailing
18986s this one home a whopping 406.
18989s yes i believe happy gonna have to jump
18991s off the side got that close spawn not
18993s going to make it out you're going to get
18994s a kill on a bose supports here
18997s so i'll give them a little bit of
18999s payload progress not a extremely nasty
19002s stagger
19005s still
19006s gonna get this car pretty close to this
19007s first corner
19009s i mean finishing the map with
19011s you know more than a minute in the time
19012s bank is gonna be pretty huge you can
19014s still be tough obviously hitting that
19015s point a but the mayhem the heuristic you
19017s know their sort of flow chart of who to
19018s go for first and
19020s you know how to set themselves up with a
19021s crucial first kill has really been
19023s paying off hydro doesn't want to be here
19025s no he's over committed and he just had
19027s to go for it there
19028s there's obviously you slide off sort of
19030s curved edges here so he just jumped a
19032s little bit too far forward
19034s it's quite unfortunate you have to wait
19036s for him to make anything happen as
19038s you're kind of dry on ultimates here
19040s for the mayhem probably looking at what
19043s a nano on to either checkmate for some
19045s extra damage up on the high ground or
19047s someone for survivability and then into
19048s a primal maybe
19053s happy still on that still convinced
19055s that it's the answer
19057s bob will definitely be helpful
19059s someone is going to be sleeping off that
19061s ultimate much to the
19062s chagrin of the mayhem and here comes big
19064s bad bustling bob it's a winston over the
19066s top for mag looking to come down and
19068s compound the issues rather for the
19070s mayhem
19071s assassin doesn't find the stick there
19073s the justice gets some of that breathing
19074s room it's really question what they can
19076s do with it man they did nothing in that
19077s previous fight
19079s with the jump shot over the wall gonna
19081s take off again he's done that twice now
19085s some classy stuff but okay there was a
19087s big opening there i think opener
19088s realized that hydra would have been
19090s lurking
19092s a very odd angle to take and that's what
19094s you're going to do
19096s rally used here and nano it's time to
19100s unshave the blade krillin can't get away
19102s in time he's fallen first in the
19104s consecutive last two fights
19106s mag is low gets nano down
19109s it's gonna expire
19111s do you think it was a little bit early
19112s through some of those ultimates he might
19114s be able to come back and fight this now
19115s for the justice um for that maybe max
19117s still had to jump out despite the damage
19119s mitigation
19120s now set on the point sleep on someone
19122s wasn't actually interrupted that's
19123s crucial for the justice they can now
19126s make the counter dive work
19128s he used a lot of the ultimates there for
19131s the florida mayhem maybe you thought
19133s that was enough with a body block to get
19135s it over the line is hydra now switches
19137s to the 76.
19139s oddly enough this is actually where i
19140s might like the ash a bit better you can
19142s now you can now range it's gonna be
19144s consistent damage from the 76 but you
19146s see
19146s these pot shots at a distance
19149s oh happy that's that's
19152s bizarre
19154s checkmate
19156s not able to descend there nice little
19157s headshot the ash can control the high
19159s ground a bit
19161s it's a really nice pick into this i feel
19163s like another bob built very quickly for
19165s happy after his previous one i think
19166s being the first in the round
19168s he's going to do what he does oh my god
19169s might have opened this up in a big way
19171s though someone going to drop in here
19172s primal rage now
19174s happy
19175s mindful of the ultimate that he still
19177s has
19178s dynamite to pressure those healing
19179s resources
19180s oh okay
19185s great shots from hydrating emerges from
19186s his hiding place it was forced into by
19188s the ash catches happy off guard someone
19191s is
19192s definitely a cause for concern for happy
19193s he got hit with a biotic grenade killed
19196s instantly and that's gonna be two kills
19198s before assassin
19200s turns this is
19202s florida may not be able to finish this
19203s off they look like they were in pole
19204s position i think they actually used too
19206s many ultimates maybe in that one fight
19208s starting to run out of a little bit of
19209s gas here 22 seconds left they come out
19212s of the shuttle phase with over four
19214s minutes of time that is all we're gone
19216s now
19218s they're just finishing the map
19219s it's gonna have to be enough for them
19221s here
19222s just look at the ash though happy just
19224s chunks some of these players down as
19225s they walk on in still has the bob
19228s it's gonna be unreal
19230s a six player in this next fight and in
19232s comes bob now over time is gonna be
19234s beginning someone tries to give himself
19236s a place to sojourn for a time bubble
19237s thrown down on the card on hydron nano
19239s fighting here but there's no targets no
19242s one to shoot at opening shield's going
19243s to get worked out and mag has the primal
19245s rage but he's been hit with the biotic
19246s grenade his time may be short but open
19248s is the one that gets the nano boost here
19249s and happy was waiting for hydron
19251s field deployed here by the soldier 76
19253s and hydro winds out in that duel that's
19255s one checkmate that's two one mag opener
19258s under a lot of pressure here and check
19260s made it slow as well the winston's gonna
19261s get involved though and finally the brig
19263s is brought down the florida
19266s come alive when it counts
19271s last fight they come up clutch
19275s man these uh
19277s the first map i think was definitely in
19278s favor of the justice but
19280s these last two are going down to the
19282s wire is
19283s a minute on the clock for both teams
19287s this is where you start to think even
19288s the widowmaker's even more dangerous
19290s right because we know how impactful
19291s those first kills are in these fights
19294s if you get one early whether it's like
19295s for hydron or happy that could give you
19298s enough payload movement here with only a
19300s minute on the clock to be the difference
19302s in winning this map
19305s some of the most
19306s electrifying moments in
19308s overwatch league history have occurred
19309s in
19310s you know overtime extra inning scenarios
19313s on gibraltar
19314s so volatile teams have always had to
19316s play winston-based comps with some sort
19318s of long-range hit scan pressure
19320s they really make the fights hard to
19321s predict
19322s now i'm in overwatch too it's even more
19324s volatile
19327s it reminds me of you know
19329s san francisco soul
19331s on this particular map i throw that back
19333s to grand finals of old
19337s so we'll get the widow duel here
19339s between hydron and happy
19345s hydron started to heat up there towards
19346s the end yeah when he was starting to
19347s play the widow of his own starting to
19349s sort of really pop off it's a huge ask
19351s for a rookie right going up against
19352s happy on a map that favors widowmakers
19354s and sort of have that sense of
19355s confidence
19358s he's gonna have to go big again here for
19359s sure
19366s well happy
19368s that's the start the justice we're
19369s looking for
19372s and now i'm hunting for more
19375s taking damage now are you and do the
19378s justice get this high ground
19381s get even better angles for happy 30
19383s seconds
19385s 30 now
19386s happy again looking for hydra on his
19388s projected position he is correct
19392s missing that shot means he might want to
19393s reposition somewhat maybe ate the card
19395s and getting the extra pros progress and
19397s hoping to see with the body grenade yep
19398s this might be time to go for the mayhem
19400s someone also doubts with one he has to
19402s back away
19404s remember there's no tracy here to chase
19406s down those low health winstons
19408s and with the widowmaker sidelines it
19409s forces everybody into the server room
19412s this max got to jump up he's here with
19414s the biotic grain somebody's got to touch
19415s this car over time pretty generous here
19417s but still the justice have to drop
19418s someone down and they do hydrogen what a
19422s time to come alive
19425s now we can sit back here and punish
19426s opener who had a seal turned in the
19428s wrong direction
19430s a good result here for the florida
19431s mayhem if they can hold the card right
19433s here it's assassin the last one to try
19435s and stand up
19437s that'll be that
19439s had sermons hit a biotic grenade on the
19442s both supports as well on the high ground
19446s this hydra though evens it up right that
19448s widow battle happy gets the first one
19450s hydra bounces back
19454s still not like a guarantee right like
19456s where we see this payload progress
19459s it can be tough to get it through that
19461s tunnel especially i know if the
19463s defensive widowmaker is locking that
19464s down
19467s one widow headshot
19469s do you think one biotic grenade could go
19471s who causes to go either way do you think
19472s they'll play the widow on dino they came
19474s out with the ash last time do you think
19476s they play the widow it didn't look great
19478s but
19479s okay the safe play
19481s happy
19482s locks in the soldier 76
19486s where the with where the payload
19489s like box of victory is like maybe you
19491s can play around the soldier and
19493s attackers incoming you kind of play like
19495s server room and then like the back of
19497s this a side point right and just block
19499s off like the lines of sight and really
19500s try and play that like close to medium
19502s range damage game
19504s but what are you going to do here in
19505s this high ground right you can't really
19506s contest that
19509s yeah happy
19511s might just want to play for the
19513s anti-winston pressure
19516s if someone
19518s over extends here get blown up pretty
19519s quickly by the burst damage also
19521s checkmate he will be threatened here we
19524s go the florida mayhem have a minute
19526s to exceed the justices payload push
19530s oh there's a switch here behind him he's
19531s waiting for some scouting
19534s i think he's just trying to get a little
19536s bit of info of what they're running on
19537s the other side so he's committed
19543s spots mag no connection
19545s a card is on the move at some point the
19547s justice are going to have to pounce
19550s or they might not they could they can
19551s play that defensive set up like i was
19553s talking about it looks like they kind of
19554s back up and conceded to this is
19556s they know hey we need one fight right in
19559s this type of position and what are the
19561s widow's sight lines looking like here
19562s hydra sneaking that right side trying to
19564s pressure mag you can see him there in
19566s the wire frame
19568s okay happy now emerges from his hiding
19571s place but hydro may have got the drop
19572s with him he's spotted by assassin who is
19575s reluctant to commit here the headshot
19578s happy take it down the mayhem
19580s make some magic
19583s mag trying to stall out here but this is
19584s done it's over the floor to mayhem
19588s come up with the goods
19591s it's a big gamble by the justice you're
19592s playing for that one fight
19595s and hydra unable to get one and things
19597s just spiral out of control he puts a
19599s shot into happy and the server room
19601s finishes them off
19603s florida puts themselves one game away
19606s from advancing the lower bracket who
19607s would have thought widow superstar happy
19610s the one to opt out off the duel try and
19612s take the safe option
19614s but it's not always the best especially
19617s when you're playing the defensive
19618s winston cop
19619s [Music]
19620s well they helped to let the game come to
19622s them and florida bring it in full force
19624s now that mayhem set themselves up in a
19626s match point elimination point here a
19628s justice are gonna have to dig deeper
19631s [Music]
19655s [Music]
19701s um
19703s [Music]
19731s [Applause]
19734s hello

19867s hello wow
19869s [Music]
19888s [Applause]
19889s [Music]
19903s the florida mayhem looking pretty tight
19904s pretty coordinated and individually
19907s talented as well they got me sweating
19910s oh
19910s that was popular oh
19913s no he kicks him as well oh kev stickers
19915s headshot a kick in a headshot this is
19918s such a big player
19920s gets two
19921s nice doesn't see him actually on the
19922s flank
19923s [Music]
19928s at the back
19928s nice little three piece that's what we
19930s wanted to see make that four
19933s literally one feet gotta get the heels
19938s they're oh creative and the narratives
19940s have yet to be formed see how aggressive
19942s the players of florida are it always
19943s seems like florida's starting the fight
19946s [Music]
19951s one last map pick remaining for the
19954s washington justice
19956s background it better be a good one
19959s yeah they got to come up big here
19962s the map pick will be coliseum
19965s it's uh florida mayhem getting back in
19967s their seats ready to ready to play
19969s looking to close this series out
19972s starting to come alive the first map was
19974s really all justice and since then two
19977s close snaps back to back but
19979s coming up clutch there in the in
19982s push uh it's interesting i i actually
19984s thought more teams i thought we would
19986s probably see like
19987s almost all new queen street throughout
19989s the weekend but uh and today we've seen
19991s some coliseum i think we're obviously
19994s going to see it in this series
19995s but long-range hit scan uh
19998s interesting that it's a justice pick as
19999s we've seen teams play like the zarya and
20001s the doom here and you know mag we've
20003s seen him play the doom but
20005s uh not really the zarya it's uh
20010s now there's a street here called the
20011s winton road yep it's uh not far away i
20014s did see that uh post on reddit it's
20015s meant to be
20017s i mean these two teams
20019s love their winton based compositions
20022s colosseum likely to feature those as
20024s well and hey look you know the mayhem
20026s obviously try to
20027s choose that gibraltar map against
20029s the atlanta reign
20031s you can see what they're looking to try
20033s and try and do
20035s and again when hydra has some confidence
20036s behind it this team can really go
20038s anywhere i feel like the first to fold
20040s in that battle of widows was was happy
20041s now i know a team decision of course to
20043s choose your composition
20045s but in that case the discretion them
20047s trying to be a little safer actually
20048s ended up being a greater risk to them
20050s [Music]
20052s especially when you have a player that's
20054s that good at that hero
20056s uh and the other team's gonna run it
20059s you might as well mirror it until until
20061s it really goes sideways you're gonna be
20063s thinking about what could have been uh
20064s if you're the justice there you've got a
20066s player that can turn a game on its head
20067s at any point
20069s happy was not put in a position to do so
20071s because he was hitting some crazy shots
20072s too it wasn't like he was
20074s missing and they were getting
20076s kind of taken advantage of on that roll
20078s like
20079s it really started to look
20080s [Music]
20082s kind of poor when it was on the ash
20084s right where you should get dope
20085s constantly just shooting winston bubbles
20086s the whole time that's it
20089s washington justice i firmly believe this
20091s will probably be the comp that they run
20093s uh be surprised if we see any changes
20096s also no subs for them today uh yesterday
20099s i believe they brought in decay at times
20100s today we have not seen any sub says
20104s all right so florida man look at this
20106s mitch they're gonna come out with that
20107s zarya based composition with the reaper
20110s so
20111s like i mentioned this is a map that
20113s teams play this type of composition on
20115s and the florida man probably know that
20117s hey the chance of the justice playing
20119s this are going to be very low they're
20121s going to play either like
20122s on the off chance maybe a doomfist
20124s composition adjusters have the players
20126s to to do that though yes they have
20128s calios
20131s no that's well that's what i'm saying
20132s but i just don't want to play that style
20134s i guess assassin though
20136s able to snip hydra away from the mayhem
20138s set up here they may want the justice to
20139s send mag in first but this gives
20141s assassin all the time to work around
20143s them remember this cop requires you to
20144s be a little bit more compact
20146s assassin that gives him so much more
20148s room to stretch his legs
20150s biotic grenade comes in big one from
20153s krillin but they have to back up his big
20155s damage comes down
20156s early on is
20158s looks like washington gonna come out on
20160s top and some kills just being traded out
20162s and you can see they're they're aware of
20164s the threat of that that reaper and they
20166s do lose mad to it but they knew they had
20169s an advantage going to that fight after
20170s assassin paved the way they just have to
20171s be a little bit more selective about
20173s when they make those engagements the
20175s mayhem can't sit in the corner forever
20177s man and they're not going to get that
20178s much barrier progress out of this
20179s because a bunch of kills come down for
20181s florida
20183s they have the closer spawning you see
20184s yeah washington they back up you have to
20186s have the players they're gonna have to
20188s concede some space here we're going to
20189s get another fight in the long haul again
20192s for the justice so you have attack visa
20194s already that's in one fight
20197s unreal
20200s good start for happy here on the same
20202s hero that maybe you've led to the
20204s justices demise on gibraltar and
20205s assassin coming from a familiar angle
20208s now
20208s bubbles exhausted for someone and
20211s assassin makes sure that kill is
20212s confirmed and that's where he can go for
20214s the dive now
20216s yeah checkmate is looking like confused
20217s travolta really unsure about how to make
20219s use of reaper's close range efficacy
20222s without asia
20224s this has been ugly oh man
20226s thus far
20229s it's krillin
20230s and opener can push up a little bit try
20232s and get some of this high ground you see
20233s that's where they're trying to set happy
20234s up
20236s opportunity to land some big damage as
20238s players walk back cause you're gonna
20239s have to dump key ultimates in here
20243s for florida it's gonna be a primal
20245s already here's animos here with the
20247s biotic grenade yeah a good amount of
20248s pressure here
20249s still mag not looking to fully commit
20251s they're trying to get the car past this
20253s scarier part of the map it's gonna be
20254s hydron dropping down
20256s starting to take matters into his own
20257s hands but the justice are gonna be happy
20259s with you know upwards of 50 meters here
20262s on what progress
20264s it's an awesome push we see a lot of
20266s teams like get this far maybe a little
20268s bit further like 70 right meters and
20271s just kind of call it a day
20273s so see now
20275s it'll be the florida mayhem who have an
20277s opportunity with this graviton search
20280s florida again they're going to be
20282s careful about where they take fights
20283s because they have to sort of go uphill i
20284s want to avoid that
20286s again assassin playing from that side
20288s angle
20289s these approaches are pretty predictable
20290s for tracer is there's only one sort of
20292s wide open area outside of this central
20294s part of the map
20296s ponderously
20299s does that barrier move now assassin okay
20301s so he finds elimination it's another one
20303s that's set up by krillin nana boots now
20305s being given over towards mag and
20306s checkmate is really unsure about where
20308s to put himself he's so spaced out from
20310s everybody and it's an easy sleep dark
20311s connection and he's dispatched
20314s and they invest a sound barrier there
20316s florida
20317s and it was so late maybe it was meant to
20319s try and keep someone alive
20322s but it was so late that they got
20324s absolutely nothing for it
20327s as what if a graph comes down now right
20329s you're to have the sound barrier
20330s available for the washington justice
20332s league so just as they move the bot up
20335s now they run away again yeah you want to
20337s take fights inside this central area the
20338s map if you can
20340s yep
20344s this is starting to become familiar
20347s graviton surge comes down here but it's
20349s gonna be a sound barrier in response and
20350s happy as a tactical visor here forcing
20352s checkmate away he goes for a death
20354s blossom he's able to eat up happy the
20357s very least but that's a beautiful
20358s predictive helix rocket and assassins
20360s not happy about that elimination
20364s so you have checkmate chase down mag
20366s that's a big kill
20367s get the tank out of the equation here is
20372s the bot pushing the barrier
20374s closer and closer you might actually
20376s even take the lead off of this
20378s yeah it's about what happens you know
20380s when the justice get back and have this
20381s just a natural high ground to drop off
20383s of mag waste no time getting involved
20385s here big by the grenade start for
20387s krillin hydrant got bubbled there from
20389s someone to sort of cleanse that effect
20391s off but assassin is still a legitimate
20393s threat here
20395s pulse bombers gonna be available
20397s beefs that one and hydron though well he
20399s can't miss literally
20404s three kills for hydro
20406s with the visors
20408s i mean i guess it's the downside to
20409s pushing up bailing because he'd let
20412s florida take the lead
20415s not a good reason for the justice to
20417s suffer so much in that fight i'll be
20418s honest the hydra obviously good timing
20419s with that attack visor and margin
20422s had a nano boost
20423s but still
20425s not a good look for the justice here
20426s after a pretty decent start
20429s sleep on mag that nano is gonna go to
20431s waste
20434s you still will get a few kills here for
20436s the justice you'll be able to
20438s turn that fight in your favor but you
20440s played so last up until this point
20443s you thought you had enough progress you
20444s get back now taking the fights in the
20446s tunnel which we see a lot of teams do
20449s uh there it was an opportunity where
20451s they had a big ultimate advantage they
20452s got to push for a little bit more
20453s progress they don't and that may end up
20456s coming to bite them because now they're
20457s gonna have to take another fight just
20459s about middle of the map we see so many
20461s teams get punished for taking their foot
20463s off the gas on this particular map
20466s the mayhem now have a lead pretty
20468s comfortable considering there's only
20470s what two minutes left in the round
20472s needs to be careful he has to beat here
20473s just the bionic is just too risky and
20475s then my hands say okay that's all we
20476s have to spend that's probably worthwhile
20480s and now with the progress they'll get
20482s the bomb moves a bit faster right back
20484s towards the barrier
20489s oh someone you're gonna love that so if
20491s the justice end up
20493s winning a fight let's say
20495s the next fight's gonna take place back
20497s in that middle of the map and
20499s potentially be in overtime right so
20500s you're in a scenario now with for the
20502s justice which is brutal uh a minute and
20505s 17 on the clock
20507s they're marching the the bot towards
20509s your spawn you're gonna need to win what
20511s like you're looking at like four
20514s five consecutive fights to come back
20517s in goes mag primal rage in his back
20519s pocket here the justice have plenty to
20521s spend on those ultimates but they have
20522s to ration them to some degree happy with
20524s the tactical visor though well equipped
20526s to deal with this but it was never a
20528s question about winning this fight no it
20530s was about the consecutive ones now they
20532s need to come out one after another for
20534s the justice
20535s this next one they're going to be going
20536s up against a death boss without a beat
20538s and you're gonna have a nano visor as
20540s well in this large area and look how i
20542s mentioned you're gonna take this fight
20544s in the middle of the map the bot is just
20546s gonna get there
20547s you're basically gonna be fighting at
20549s neutral 30 seconds to go
20551s tournament life on the line for the
20553s washington justice
20555s 30 seconds left in the round and they
20557s need to get another 35 plus meters about
20560s progress
20562s not a good situation to be in right now
20565s florida want to keep the pressure up as
20567s well look checkmate inching towards the
20569s front lines tp into the back oh he's
20571s gonna bring the house down
20573s happy at the very least he's gonna drop
20574s at hydron
20576s it's the other round with a pincer not a
20578s darn thing that justice could do about
20579s this one it's max primal
20581s rage met with resounding disapproval as
20584s the florida major pull us into overtime
20586s and lay will bring the gavel down on the
20589s justice sending them home
20590s [Applause]
20595s it's the mayhem seal the deal
20598s see how excited
20599s uh they are on stage so
20602s i think that's hydra
20603s waving at the justice sending them home
20606s so i think this also gives florida some
20608s renewed confidence right he bounced back
20611s after a tough loss yesterday you know
20613s the quality of team you are you come in
20615s and beat a justice team who
20617s even today i thought the florida mayhem
20619s would win this series i
20621s i thought it would be competitive but
20623s maybe not close i thought this was a
20625s very close series with some of these
20627s maps you look at map two three and even
20630s map four washington had leads and those
20633s florida had to bounce back
20635s they were able to do so
20636s these are crucial reps for the florida
20638s mayhem up against a team that wants to
20640s play a really similar style to them
20643s want to play the winston-based
20644s compositions want to take risks
20646s especially when it comes to defense and
20648s want to let high-flying dps players
20651s take the spotlight
20653s no shortage of those in this match-up
20655s and again we talked about krillin his
20657s fantastic performance yesterday wasn't
20659s enough to get them there and losing
20660s these two consecutive matches means that
20662s our eighth seed yes they do depart the
20664s tournament first no
20666s decay today either for the washington
20669s justice makes you wonder what is the
20670s plan there it'll be interesting what
20672s they look like going into the next stage
20674s of our season
20676s do you start to build a little bit more
20678s around happy giving him the resources i
20680s i bet they would love to see krillin
20682s keep up this level of honor play
20685s i know maybe we see a more consistent
20687s justice maybe not one with like decay in
20689s the lineup that is really explosive but
20690s one that can put these type of
20692s performances out game after game
20695s the florida mayhem here definitely
20697s should be filled with confidence again
20699s there's still a question mark about how
20700s they play into zarya winston comps we've
20703s seen a taste of
20704s theirs but we seen someone make the
20707s switch over towards zaya
20709s and again look
20710s it wasn't perfect right i think this
20712s team is really front and center about
20713s their flaws and their execution
20715s definitely at times is lacked but
20717s they've been pressured by really quality
20719s opposition in both their games just to
20721s advance here they're going up against
20723s the dallas fuel
20726s i do think the florida coaching staff
20728s though can come up with some things that
20729s can give dallas some trouble uh we saw
20731s obviously
20732s the series against the gladiators the
20734s gladiators are looking lights out but
20736s still maybe there's some stuff in that
20738s series you can look at and say okay
20740s let's replicate this let's see how it
20741s goes maybe there's some map selections
20743s right they can throw into that series
20745s that can throw off dallas i would not
20747s count florida out in that one
20749s we want to hear from the team themselves
20750s florida mayhem advancing in this lower
20752s bracket we're going to go down to the
20754s stage with danny and a player interview
20757s mr man thank you very much yes i am here
20760s with someone
20761s from florida
20763s mayhem amazing job today someone and
20766s yeah i do congratulate for of course
20768s getting the win today i want to ask
20770s though you know yesterday you guys had a
20773s you know loss against the atlanta reign
20775s and you guys today were able to bounce
20778s back uh against the washington justice
20780s what changes did you guys make coming
20782s into today and also like how are you
20784s able to bounce back
20790s on
20805s foreign
20828s i mean because yesterday's match it was
20831s most of our players is a first time
20833s offline match or lan uh having a match
20835s on land other than animal on animal was
20837s the only player on our team that had
20839s that veteran experience so there were a
20841s little bit of
20842s nerves and not only that i feel like all
20845s of the plays that we made we couldn't
20846s really uh play how we always used to
20849s play uh because it was our first time
20852s playing offline so uh i feel i felt like
20855s we couldn't go as aggressive as we
20857s wanted not only that uh you know we were
20859s a little bit more we were playing a
20861s little bit more shy so what we talked
20864s about going into today's match was you
20865s know don't think about all of those
20867s stuff uh just go
20869s just give it everything that we got and
20871s try to be more aggressive and i think
20873s that really worked out for the florida
20875s mayhem all right my next question i do
20877s have to ask about your compositions i
20879s feel like florida mayhem is a team that
20881s really
20882s almost exclusively uses that winston
20885s dive competition does that sort of make
20887s you worry about your future matches
20895s [Music]
20926s [Music]
20930s that was very long all right uh first of
20934s all winston compositions uh so even if
20936s we do run winter competitions uh we can
20939s always switch out different uh uh dps
20942s heroes not only that we could also play
20944s our play style as well or differentiate
20947s our play style as well so changing out
20950s dps
20951s uh and also changing out or switching up
20953s our play style
20955s even if using the same dive composition
20957s and i do feel like we are very strong on
20960s our dive composition as well so i think
20962s that is why we
20964s let me get give me one second guys
20973s all right so yeah someone says at the
20975s very end uh they are okay with running
20978s just to dive because they are that
20979s confident
20981s all right someone thank you so much for
20982s your time and i'm so sorry about that uh
20984s little tripod
20991s [Music]
20993s [Applause]
20996s [Laughter]
20997s thank you danny uh great to hear from
21000s someone they're really animated
21001s especially after like quite a long game
21002s you can see that energy that adrenaline
21004s that really carried them through uh
21005s coliseum a very
21007s a weird map to watch right we we saw the
21009s mayhem that they opted to to try and
21011s make this this composition work and it
21012s started really slow you said it was it
21014s was a stinker to begin that
21017s map though is like
21019s the maps kind of summarizes the justice
21020s though right they like they were really
21022s good for what six of the eight minutes
21025s and then just that
21027s those two minutes end up just losing
21029s them the game where
21030s that's a it's a tough way to go out if
21032s you're washington yeah no doubt about it
21034s let's talk about our player of the match
21035s though for the florida mayhem someone
21037s who had to step up in a big way and go
21038s up against quality and experienced
21041s opposition the dps role your player the
21043s match is hydron yes i thought he had a
21046s pretty good game today i thought he was
21047s also good in the non-widow matches
21049s against the atlanta reign but today
21052s really matched in that widowmaker turned
21054s it around on gibraltar i think on the 76
21057s he was a huge impact
21059s yeah no doubt about it when it counted i
21060s mean he's stuck to the widowmaker in
21062s this overtime round on gibraltar happier
21065s you know switched to the soldier 76 when
21067s we saw the mayhem try and go for
21068s something uh a little more aggressive
21070s right they wanted to throw caution to
21072s the winds and they trusted hydron to
21074s deliver in an overtime scenario to put
21077s them ahead in this series that means a
21078s lot and this rookie player delivered
21081s again over the course of the map you
21082s know soldier 76 play was sublime really
21084s could have asked for too much more quite
21086s often checkmate is uh you know able to
21088s go and run wild because of the amount of
21090s threat the amount of healing pressure
21091s the hydra is creating from that soldier
21093s position another big step up for the
21096s young gun anything this gives him a
21097s little bit more confidence to go forward
21099s where someone talked about like
21101s yesterday some nerves on stage you think
21103s this potentially gives them a little bit
21105s more confidence and comfort on stage
21108s because they're gonna need it going
21109s against dallas fuel tomorrow no doubt
21110s about it speaking of texas teams on the
21112s other side of this break we have two
21113s more teams fighting for their tournament
21115s lives the toronto defender will be
21117s taking on the houston outlaws right here
21120s not a game to be missed so don't go too
21121s far we'll be back with a kickoff clash
21123s live from the esports stadium arlington
21125s after this
21130s the on watching is brought to you by
21131s upper deck the official trading card of

21318s [Music]
21325s welcome to our game break we are back
21328s here in our truck reinforced joining me
21330s as well as necro to break down the
21333s action and
21334s ah to be a justice fan um it's a roller
21338s coaster it's an emotional roller coaster
21339s they keep on misleading us and it's
21341s painful
21342s i'm not going to say us we're not we're
21344s not fans we're predictors of the
21346s justices
21347s i also went against my own pickups with
21349s this one because recency buyers just
21351s somehow hit me um
21353s but unless your pickups are right at
21355s least my pickups are alive but my my
21357s picks in the show are wrong so
21360s did i really win anything no
21362s however i don't want to talk about it
21364s it's alive too
21365s are they yeah that's right are they they
21368s are
21369s let's go
21370s oh that's right in florida yes
21374s i did
21376s yeah no i did yeah no my pickups are
21379s great my pickups are on point right now
21381s we're not going to talk about it
21383s it's just about the pickups it's okay
21385s those are popping off
21387s so we have the power here we can show
21389s whichever graphic makes us look better
21391s so that's the the perfect yeah also
21392s we're not going to discuss that uh costa
21394s is the only one who
21396s actually had the mayhem as his pick for
21398s today so that just never happened no
21400s he's he's not here i don't want to talk
21402s about this so
21404s exactly
21405s exactly he can't load he can't defend
21407s that's just the nature of things
21410s well
21411s let's talk about how the mayhem looked
21413s though because i i do think there were a
21415s lot of great signs for that mayhem spot
21418s moving further into the lower bracket
21420s here hydron definitely impressed me a
21422s lot he did make it as player of the
21424s match and i mean if you manage to force
21427s happy off of widowmaker like you do
21430s you're doing something right i i i don't
21433s i don't know that's enough
21434s i don't want to blame happy for that
21435s you're right no that was a washington
21437s justice blunder just like hey you know
21440s what we're gonna do we're gonna play
21441s soldier behind walls and then we're
21444s gonna hide that sounds strategically
21446s sound i don't wanna blame happy
21448s individually
21449s he was not a coward he was
21451s that's not what i said no but if i were
21453s hydro i'd feel pretty good about this oh
21455s yeah for sure no yeah yeah let's talk
21457s about happy things good things the
21459s florida man i mean they won they did um
21462s honestly though this for the main team
21464s they've been fun to follow so far in the
21466s kickoff clash because coming into the
21468s season
21469s a lot of unknown variables again it was
21472s another mission of trusting gunba their
21474s head coach like well he put together
21476s this roster of players and they're
21478s probably going to be talented because
21480s his record is usually bringing in like a
21482s random group of people and making them
21484s just play together in a very fantastic
21487s nice synergy kind of way a great
21489s postponed by the way and that's been the
21490s story of the florida miami so far it's
21492s been they've had their ups they've had
21493s their downs um they've been dabbling
21496s with some star compositions but
21497s primarily playing someone on the winston
21499s here and overall like at this point
21502s you have to say that they're a really
21504s good winston team i think my biggest
21507s concern like both me and necro mentioned
21508s going into this match was well someone
21511s he might overextend at times in this
21512s series but overall they were pretty they
21515s were pretty calm and confident and
21516s someone didn't really overextend at all
21518s i think that checkmate had a pretty good
21521s time just like matching the uh the
21523s tracer duel with assassin pretty
21525s smoothly so overall i mean i'm i'm
21528s pretty i'm pretty impressed by the from
21530s am
21530s you know competence and composure and
21533s not necessarily doing a bunch of
21535s unforced letters yeah well if you're
21536s looking at the other side here negra ah
21539s why do you think the justice ended up
21540s crumbling in this match against the
21542s florida mayhem
21545s i think it's more a credit to florida i
21547s think going back to the point about
21549s someone and that we needed to see him
21551s execute a bit more patience i think he
21553s did something really special in this
21555s match which was just separate mag from
21557s the back line krillin had no access to
21560s mag so mag ended up going down
21563s time and time again and so while at the
21565s very beginning we did see someone go
21567s down first a few times um you know mag
21571s was able to to kind of switch that
21573s around and so we did see someone kind of
21576s continue to separate mag from the back
21578s line and that was a big key to success
21580s for the florida mayhem
21584s absolutely let's see how far they can
21585s take it now we have another
21586s all-or-nothing match coming your way
21589s that's between the toronto defined and
21592s the houston outlaws another elimination
21594s match in our lower bracket but first we
21596s do have a danny a live in texas with an
21599s interview for us
21602s thank you so much so hey guys we have uh
21605s some special guests over here bishou
21607s from houston outlaws
21612s appreciate it's been it's been so long i
21613s think it's been what like two years two
21615s three four yeah it's been a minute it's
21617s been a quick minute but i mean i do want
21619s to ask because you were
21621s probably one of the most beloved players
21624s that we had uh in the overwatch league
21626s and now you're too nice they're two
21628s am i am i wrong guys right right right
21631s and now you're a player manager so how
21633s does it feel to you know be on that
21635s other side of the overwatch league team
21637s yeah so i'm currently 27 years old which
21640s in pro gamer years means that i lose all
21642s motor function my
21644s my my
21645s my reaction speed is only about two
21647s minutes you know you know how it goes so
21648s i can no longer be a player but jokes
21650s aside i really like this transition um
21653s it's uh it's very unique i honestly as
21655s somebody who's been a pro and who's only
21657s want like play games it was a big change
21659s not gonna lie i had to take a year off i
21661s had to just kind of like find myself
21663s again it's like what do i what do i want
21665s to do in esports like why do i love
21667s esports and um and i realized that i
21670s really uh as like a first generation pro
21672s i didn't really have like a mentor role
21674s right right so
21675s i thought i have like very unique
21677s experiences and
21679s i feel like i could really help out
21681s younger players and and uh the houston
21683s outlaws roster is pretty young i i
21685s really feel my age when i see them
21687s around like i just killed them like i
21689s just like called in my kids
21691s man man here's this guy who's 27
21693s thinking that he's that old zoe and i
21695s are like 33 30.
21698s that hurts man
21700s but anyways hey uh
21703s talking about you know being a mentor
21704s for your players i mean i feel i feel
21707s like this is like a great time uh to ask
21709s you this question because yesterday
21711s you know your matching as a gladiators
21713s didn't really
21714s go as planned
21716s right yeah so i'm pretty sure your
21717s players were feeling a little bit down
21719s and as like you've said uh as a
21722s pro player you've had some wins you've
21725s had some losses so i'm sure you're like
21726s used to all this so what kind of talk
21728s did you have with your players um so
21731s we
21732s okay so we we really thought we had like
21734s a pretty good understanding of the meta
21735s right now and how like what what com
21737s counters what and i i still think we
21738s still we still do have like a pretty
21740s good grasp of it but yesterday glass was
21742s just better the better team uh there's
21744s no doubt about that they play very well
21746s and we we didn't play as well as we we
21748s expected to but um overall everyone was
21751s like feeling pretty confident like
21752s obviously we're gonna be down right we
21753s just lost the rio but um we we have
21756s confidence in like what what the coach
21758s like obviously jake and john they're
21760s very smart i i i think very highly of
21762s them as coaches and
21764s um as a team the players all everyone
21766s everyone has like very good confidence
21767s like of what we think is good what we
21769s think works so
21771s sure we did we did our review but uh
21774s ever all the players were staying
21775s confident and we're feeling really good
21776s about this match
21778s yeah and talking about this match you
21779s guys are going up against toronto
21781s defiance and they've been looking pretty
21784s good as well
21785s do you have anything that you want to
21786s say to your players or to anybody to
21788s your fans
21790s first of all thank you everyone thank
21792s you everyone thank you houston i love
21793s that thank you overwatch league fan you
21795s guys are amazing
21797s and i just want to say i'm very proud of

21801s little call back thing for season one
21802s but i'm very proud of my guys they're i
21805s think they can handle it sure toronto
21806s has been playing well but i know what we
21807s can bring to the to the game so
21809s i'm feeling pretty confident all right
21811s well that is it everybody give it up for

21819s thank you so much danny thank you so
21821s much bisho and
21823s lena miss bishop he's the best he is the
21826s best i absolutely love that guy and uh
21829s yeah also
21831s wow way to make us feel old also thanks
21833s for shouting out my age here today
21835s that's very kind of
21838s that's all right let's pretend that
21840s didn't happen you're only as young as
21841s you feel
21842s i feel like 50.
21845s well i guess we sorted that out that's
21847s why you're not a pro gamer anymore
21849s that's why we got you in a truck yeah
21851s yeah in a comfortable seat
21853s it's
21854s good life is good life is good now uh
21857s you know seeing bishou uh like being
21860s himself makes me feel pretty bad about
21862s not picking the houston outlaws because
21864s if you look at the squad like they're
21865s they're very likeable
21868s on their staff as well like having jake
21870s and bishou like in in in their stuff
21873s it's like the most wholesome horrible
21875s tactical can have and then the whole guy
21877s is super lovable yeah they are lovable
21880s like go out last yeah but also i did
21882s predict the toronto define because
21884s they've been like you don't have to
21886s separate the friendliness from the
21888s competitive
21889s gameplay experience so we're gonna gotta
21891s separate that now uh
21893s necra
21895s if we were to look at that houston squad
21898s uh
21899s how how can they get an edge uh in in
21902s this match like what do they need to do
21903s to take down the toronto define
21907s well if we're going to see can houston
21909s outlaws continue to play with the
21910s doomfist flavor then we need to see them
21914s i guess protect the doomfist a little
21917s bit more i feel like dante just got
21919s caught off guard quite a few times by
21922s the anna yesterday and so when you're
21924s going up against an anna that is as
21926s proficient as twilight i do feel you
21929s need to pay extra attention to when
21932s you're sending the doom fist in and
21934s being able to find value with that
21935s before getting slapped
21939s do you think they're gonna die on the
21941s the hill of doomfist or do you think
21943s we're gonna see some piggy mixed into uh
21945s i have i have no idea i really don't
21948s know i think if they try to match the
21949s zarya composition like i don't think
21951s you'll find the edge in that they
21952s struggle a bit against paris although
21954s those pretty strong pairs still though i
21957s think the doomfist is just like what
21958s they're going to do probably and when
21960s they play the doomfist i think they're
21962s pretty good at it and you know they play
21964s the compositionally well when it comes
21965s to positioning rotation stuff like that
21967s merit for example a rookie has come in
21969s this year who is pretty confident that
21971s the soldier hit scan his flanks are like
21973s sensational so if on the houston outlaws
21976s i know i got the crowd support i mean
21977s we're in texas right then we saw the
21979s crowd the issue like everyone's cheering
21981s for the houston outlaws just like use
21983s that for your confidence and just like
21984s hint in just hint
21988s you got nothing to lose except your
21990s tournament life but you just intend
21992s that's what i'm trying to say dante he
21993s is a really good aggressive doomfist
21995s merit can flank around like they they
21997s got some great players on this team
21999s that's why you're in a truck and not in
22000s a coaching seat by the way like just
22005s i'll prove you wrong
22007s hey vancouver come on i've already got i
22009s got some because i'm spots open come on
22011s i i can prove i can prove to the world
22013s that you know i can i can coach too all
22016s right well maybe next season you'll
22018s you'll get a chance at that i can't wait
22020s for that to happen although you will be
22021s sort of missed of course here in our
22023s truck now we are excited to watch this
22026s last match of the day three brilliant
22029s ones already took place and now we're
22030s going to find out which of the two teams
22032s toronto defined or shoe snazzles will
22034s make it further into our kickoff clash
22037s tournament so stick around for all the
22040s action happening over in texas and
22042s afterwards we're back with a post show
22069s [Music]
22079s [Music]
22088s [Music]
22107s [Music]
22140s [Music]
22192s [Music]
22203s [Music]
22211s [Music]
22230s eight teams have become seven
22233s and we're not done with elimination
22234s matches yet today ladies and gentlemen
22236s here at the kickoff clash tournament
22239s live of course from the arlington
22241s esports stadium my gosh quite the stash
22244s their previous matchup was and we saw
22246s the washington justice fall short in
22248s that lower bracket and now it's do or
22250s die for toronto and houston
22253s and i
22255s i actually like toronto in this series i
22258s know probably upset some people in the
22259s crowd yeah i hear the blues i don't care
22261s i'm not going to change my pick uh i i
22264s mean come on easy i have been booed
22266s worse
22267s i i really like
22269s toronto in this series i think uh
22271s houston the other day we've seen them
22272s run really nicely you know doomfist
22274s setups and
22275s kind of got shut down the other day
22277s today they may need to change their game
22278s up and like how much practice have they
22280s had on that i think toronto's got a
22281s pretty solid roster nothing too exciting
22283s i would favor the defiant
22286s the toronto defiant we saw what they
22287s were capable of yesterday a very close
22289s matchup against that dallas feel the
22290s first map was really quite exciting
22292s series didn't score didn't quite tell
22294s the whole story but there's another
22295s chapter to be written in that tale so
22297s let's bring them onto the stage now make
22298s some noise for the toronto defiance
22303s [Applause]
22310s [Applause]
22310s [Music]
22316s we talk about teams with different looks
22317s different options right i think one of
22319s the biggest criticisms we leveled the
22320s outlaws with sticking to that one tank
22322s style this team's got hopper muse though
22325s in their starting roster towering over
22327s his team
22329s between him and colluge these tanks are
22331s tall
22332s exactly you need that imposing presence
22334s in and out of the server matthew i don't
22336s know why i don't remember him being that
22338s tall yeah i mean these guys shooting up
22340s like weeds what can i say that people
22341s think well over there some people man
22345s now trying to find here of course
22347s look looked very very competitive you
22349s know in that dallas fuel series i
22350s thought that the grass for the control
22352s map was really good hot but was crucial
22354s as they worked that zaya based
22356s composition we're expecting a different
22358s look for them now as it's the same map
22360s we don't see lee zhang tower first up in
22361s the series spoilers so
22363s we already see a pivot uh in approach
22365s from the define and i wonder how much it
22366s has to do with their opposition well
22368s they've also allowed muse to play really
22370s aggressive when he's in the game he
22372s wants to be there and he wants to play
22373s that aggressive
22374s and you have an on on a player like
22376s twilight on the roster you know you're
22378s able to play some of these winston comps
22380s with twilight on the honor
22381s with muse on that winston playing
22383s aggressive you think good things can
22384s happen yeah good looks for them
22386s but now they're not the only team of
22388s course facing potential elimination so
22390s let's give a good old-fashioned lone
22392s star welcome to the houston
22395s outlaws
22407s crunch time
22409s for this team
22410s getting selected by the gladiators
22413s they knew where their bread was butter
22414s they knew
22415s what they'd be going up against but i
22417s felt like they really fell on the dante
22419s doomfist sword yesterday i can tell you
22421s looking at the stage already a different
22423s tack from the outlaws yeah it'll be
22425s picky in the starting lineup today so
22428s piggy usually has uh played more of the
22430s off-tank roles in the past
22433s and i also say i think
22434s quick side note like dante on the
22436s doomfist has been very good it's just
22438s teams if we know maybe have learned how
22440s to play against doomfist progress past
22442s that point
22444s teams have learned how to play against
22445s those complete better than maybe earlier
22447s on but
22448s and you have uh you look at this roster
22450s top to bottom you think they should be
22451s contending for some of those positions
22453s on sunday i think definitely you know uh
22456s last really adapted very well in his
22458s role uh you know in providing a lot of
22460s that lucio presence here iris was
22462s definitely
22463s one of the best baptists that we would
22465s see in the overwatch league it's not a
22467s role that he finds himself on as much
22468s now with just the way the meta has
22470s shifted and this thing's got pelican for
22472s god's sake i mean this roster obviously
22475s they have probably the hardest team to
22476s go up against in their first match so in
22478s their minds they're thinking we're here
22480s to run this lower bracket all the way to
22481s the bank right i mean you could make an
22483s argument and i think a really good one
22484s that the gladiators have looked the best
22486s so far this weekend you know
22489s kev sir i mean the whole crew is just
22491s clicking on all cylinders and
22494s maybe it's just they ran into the the
22496s team that's the toughest right and maybe
22498s that's kind of the story of the outlaws
22499s first round in that winter bracket
22502s i think though toronto you know they ran
22504s into a tough opponent as well and they
22505s looked pretty good
22507s yeah toronto having to go from
22509s one texas team to the other in these
22511s matchups again a potential hostile
22513s situation given the home crowd
22516s the houston outlaws we need to see more
22517s from them obviously than that doomfist
22519s look we've seen piggy uh on zaya at
22521s times i think the last time we saw it
22522s from the outlaws it looked like it
22523s definitely needed a little work there
22525s was some rough edges that had to be
22527s sanded back
22530s this team definitely is going to be
22531s looking to draw on
22532s a home crowd or somewhat home crowd
22536s local crowd i guess yeah they're not
22538s even i know that there's something from
22540s here
22542s i know some people have made the trek
22543s though for sure lee chung tower first
22546s map in this series and again toronto
22547s already had a different have a different
22549s game plan for this map as predicated by
22552s their roster selection
22553s and also the outlaws what do we see them
22555s play today with piggy in the lineup uh
22558s do you see the zarya compositions do we
22560s see some reinhardt do we see some sigma
22563s it'll be interesting what the outlaws
22564s have cooking today sigma maybe if it's a
22567s circuit royale yes oh yeah i haven't
22570s seen much of that so far this week
22572s [Music]
22574s control center going to be where it all
22575s begins
22577s you have to wonder all the defiant have
22579s up their sleeve again muse is the kind
22580s of player that's always wanted to be
22581s very aggressive and you know on there on
22583s that gladiators team maybe the sort of
22585s call was to be a bit more reactive than
22587s proactive but muse has definitely been
22589s unchained
22590s on this roster we expected great things
22592s from the rookie last year right he and
22594s mag sort of came into the league as two
22596s players with fated histories that are
22598s expected to step up and uh be genuine
22601s threats and maybe muse was a little more
22602s muted for much of the the year
22606s and it looks like uh
22608s yeah for now whenever there's a pawn so
22610s is look at the stage see what's going on
22612s everybody's alright
22613s so
22614s this one might not be a long one looks
22616s like mpl get right back into this is
22619s looks like both teams hovering over the
22621s reinhardt base comps uh that's
22624s fascinating
22625s the london spitfire may not be here
22628s in person but they're here in spirit
22633s it's time
22635s for the reinhardt mirror match
22638s piggy
22638s vs news
22642s you have merit playing the cassidy so
22645s cassidy versus the 76
22650s 76 really good at pressuring down those
22652s shields rather cassie could be a little
22654s bit more effective against that may in
22656s medium range
22657s already ice block forced out by pelican
22659s who's playing a little to the right of
22660s where piggy's shield was so
22662s not able to mitigate enough damage you
22665s also think muse should have an advantage
22667s in this matchup right
22669s he is a main tank player from overwatch
22671s one going up against a off tank player
22674s now picking up the reinhardt here
22676s in overwatch too yeah it was jungkook
22678s playing reinhardt for the houston
22679s outlaws many huge moments created from
22681s them especially at the start of the
22683s season but the toronto defiant it's an
22685s extended neutral fight here but his
22687s pelican is the first to fall to defiant
22689s go up a gear
22692s you think with muse wanting to play that
22693s aggressive playstyle right
22695s playing it uh against a player playing
22697s the reinhardt where we don't know how
22699s much experience piggy has playing it
22700s right i'm sure there's been a ton of
22702s times in scrims where they've had to
22703s work on it right split up some of those
22705s tank responsibilities
22707s that'll be an ant matrix with a fire
22709s strike going through it right away
22711s looks like no connection there but an
22713s early immortality field had to be
22715s deployed oh my muse it was a pretty
22718s empty shutter he's able to pick himself
22720s up but only for a moment the sound
22722s barrier was employed by chorong but it
22723s wasn't enough as the damage came back
22726s doubled
22728s yeah good counter shatter there
22730s from piggy muse connected with three but
22735s will be piggy responding with a shatter
22737s and a amped fire strike of his own
22741s crucially i mean this is where iris is
22743s at his best we kind of talked about that
22745s earlier on when on the atlanta reign his
22747s baptist was freakishly good again the
22750s deployment of the immortality field must
22751s have been in a place where the defiant
22753s weren't able to destroy it so they
22754s couldn't capitalize on that shadow gave
22756s the outlaws enough time to respond
22758s ooh merit a little patchy there
22760s definitely an opportunity to fight
22761s elimination or force in immortality
22763s field instead some of the yellows
22765s pulling theirs out they've got to be
22766s wary of this tactical fighter coming in
22768s from outside of the arena merit has safe
22770s positioning here but pelican could be in
22772s danger after it comes out of the ice
22773s block it's a blizzard thrown down but he
22775s gets clapped before he has a chance to
22777s do anything with it yeah merit ends up
22779s using the dead eye to try and save piggy
22782s there piggy gets walled off they throw a
22783s blizzard right on top of him i'm just
22785s trying to challenge that uh dead eye
22788s keep him alive not able to do so
22790s surprised they threw the blizzard there
22791s at the end right where pelican throws it
22793s in let's uh
22795s come back into this next fight toronto
22797s already had the lead they'll have an amp
22798s matrix here
22800s mu is going to get very close to that
22801s shatter
22803s merit playing in such a ways to not be
22805s able to get much value out of macrenate
22807s you really want to be up close and he's
22809s playing longer sidelines who's in the
22810s mid to long range potential of cassidy
22813s finales again concerned about someone
22815s wrapping around at the moment there's
22816s now an ant matrix online for iris and
22818s twilight respectively and those shadows
22819s could be a fact the muse is definitely
22821s ahead but he got charged there gonna be
22822s an early immortality field does news
22824s choose to go for it here it's iris
22825s that's the baptist presence that we hint
22828s to that it's a personal air matrix to
22830s give him the extra damage and it works
22833s yeah there's an ant matrix in the mix
22835s for twilight as well does not really
22837s matter
22838s as finale trying to stall this out it'll
22841s be toronto getting to 99. so
22844s [Applause]
22845s coming in this next fight you got a
22847s shatter on both sides the big thing to
22848s look at though is chorong with that
22850s sound barrier sound barrier could be
22852s huge here
22853s last time he had it it wasn't enough to
22855s protect his team against the follow up
22856s from the shadow coming from a few times
22858s they've been able to wall piggy off
22860s though and you know you wall them off
22861s and look at this although on the high
22863s ground it's a really nice position
22864s america forced out of line aside that's
22866s the shadow around the corner piggy
22867s trying to emulate his previous teammate
22870s oh
22870s oh big slam from muse immortality field
22873s has to use that mero was looking for a
22875s mad great grenade connection but it
22877s wasn't forthcoming blizzard from finale
22879s that one is gonna put the outlaws under
22881s here
22882s he's forced to look on as a wall comes
22884s between him and his objective
22887s he's gonna be knocked back by
22889s no touch no chance
22891s first round goes to the defiant you see
22893s muse get lifted up on that mate up he
22896s will jump over and
22898s uh kill the
22899s it was like a three player shatter the
22901s dead eye was gone there's like some
22902s fortnite stuff going right around the
22904s top just build them up
22906s let's see
22907s so
22908s don't expect that all the time
22910s reinhardt coming over the top of the
22912s maywall the shatter
22914s it's a
22916s i think you see where music really
22917s unlock his full potential you get him
22919s playing aggressive as
22921s huh
22922s for the winston based composition here
22926s and then the others
22927s the outlaws look like they want to play
22929s the rhine again
22930s all right sticking to their guns here
22932s they did that
22934s yesterday in a different way
22937s now they're going to stay with the
22937s symmetra here as well it only really
22939s works with the reinhardt set up having a
22941s shield to work behind a very different
22942s look here from the outlaws it'll get him
22944s onto the point first matt with that tp
22946s into the window the winston pretty good
22949s though against the sim in terms of
22950s getting rid of the
22952s turrets
22954s it's how do you attack this is
22956s finale putting some pressure from the
22958s backside you're gonna have to try and
22959s get an advantage for the soldier 76
22961s trying to find a lane to be able to
22963s shoot from
22964s got to be so careful though don't want
22966s to get split off by the may flank here
22969s for although
22970s a little bit of pressure but doesn't
22971s want to expose himself to lastro's boot
22975s so now muse will have to knock on the
22976s front door for a time this is the
22978s defiance splitting their forces a little
22980s bit still wanting to work a soldier 76
22982s flank it's risky lastro was oh he's
22984s thirsting for a move opportunity
22986s this is where you would like to have
22990s [Applause]
22991s maybe even like a pharah opportunity
22994s here right uh no hit scan pressure on
22996s the other side
22997s far really strong and able to like hover
22999s on the outside and put some damage down
23001s from the opposite way
23003s make it pretty difficult to make a play
23005s it'll be a genji swap here though or
23007s finale so
23009s let's go with the genji a little bit
23010s more burst you have to worry too much
23012s about your spacing for the main tank
23013s because it's not a winston right that's
23014s when it can be a problem although
23016s bouncers last throughout the server
23018s there as news drops in with the nano
23019s boost immortality field already deployed
23021s and piggy's sleeping soon to be with the
23023s fishes at this rate
23025s yeah his teammates are gone by the time
23027s he wakes up just merit here relatively
23029s charged up but once that ryan is out of
23031s the picture sleeping or or eliminated
23033s the symmetra's effectiveness drops
23036s we'll see if they decide to stay on the
23038s sim maybe just because you're so close
23039s to the wall but even if you wanted to
23041s move away from it
23043s you get 55 off of that tp and just that
23046s lockdown potential that you have on the
23048s point
23049s still worth is this gonna be a tp
23051s straight to point
23053s shadow picky might go for some high
23054s jinks playing through the tp oh my
23057s biotic nade it what's
23060s it's going to take more than that to
23061s save use twilight
23063s says lights out
23064s [Applause]
23067s and is that by artichoking had to be
23068s perfectly timed as that
23071s symmetra wall was coming down there's a
23073s reinhardt shield in the way as well yeah
23075s how do you make that happen
23077s i mean twilight kind of gets lost right
23079s because he goes to san francisco and he
23082s plays a bit there right
23084s but when he was on the tapes he's an mvp
23086s candidate like that level of player
23089s uh
23090s there's not many teams in the league
23091s that have a player that cal
23094s tp gets the outlaws to the point it's
23095s going to be venn diagram of sound
23097s barriers here piggy's shatter connects
23099s off to three that's just what the doctor
23101s ordered
23103s the physician for the define may be a
23104s little concerned but still
23106s the outlaws now speed boost forward he
23108s says no we've done enough here that'll
23110s do that'll do you'll lose finale here as
23113s he does not make it out in time
23116s although it goes over to the ash so
23118s interesting so they are playing pretty
23120s clumped together so maybe get some more
23121s value out of the dynamites here you
23122s still be able to put down some
23124s consistency there's no flank pressure
23125s either yeah still able to put down some
23127s consistent damage on those shields and
23128s do it at a little bit of a safer range
23131s nano blade though on deck
23134s nothing to counter it on the other side
23136s just that immortality feel which will
23137s have to be timely for mirrors if it gets
23139s forced that could be a problem finale
23141s nano and blade
23143s must the mortality field has taken down
23144s the last road lingers a little too close
23146s to this apex predator merit tries to
23149s stave him off but again too many
23151s teammates fully hear us across the board
23152s he's able to find elimination they're
23154s still the right hunting play the outlaws
23155s have gotten to 99. they're gonna have to
23157s be satisfied with that
23160s so the astronaut could be a big impact
23162s you can play a little bit at a further
23164s range we'll see they keep trying to tp
23166s directly to the point if you do that you
23168s can get a big dynamite right coming
23170s through the tp if people actually use it
23171s last time they you know fake the tp
23175s so see you do have iris getting close to
23177s an amp matrix so you could tp to point
23179s then amateurs let's say they want to tp
23180s right on top of all them
23183s oh they walk straight into a four player
23185s biotic grenade though that has to be the
23187s most healthy field used early but pig is
23189s able to find although at least it's a
23191s one for one but the immortality field is
23192s down and piggy doubles down himself it's
23194s two for the reinhardt muse has found
23197s lastro though iris needs to step up but
23199s piggy's stuck in the bodies high and he
23201s has an earth shatter available news
23203s needs to use this bubble wisely here as
23205s the outlaws take us into overtime
23208s green wall
23210s old ones remember
23213s finale should be able to touch here you
23214s should be able to contest your toronto
23216s you're gonna have a sound barrier here
23217s too jerome needs to make it work but
23218s finally catches the straight helix
23220s rocket in the 180 shutter and ship's
23223s kiss from piggy
23225s now throw the meal in the fridge keep it
23228s cool as the outlaws make a meal i'm
23230s going to fight that was a really nice
23232s play there
23234s from houston a bit of a gamble go right
23236s on top of although but they know how
23238s much of a damage source he is and that
23239s range he's going to be difficult to deal
23240s with they go right on top of him finish
23243s him off you did end up losing a few
23245s players in that
23247s fight in terms of they had like three or
23249s four players with a biotic grenade
23250s coming through primal coming down
23253s seemingly it could be bad news there for
23256s the outlaws but they pull it out in the
23257s end to give themselves a chance here on
23259s li jiang tower what do you make of
23260s merits staying on the cemetery here
23262s obviously the utility is undeniable but
23264s outside of that is he is enough output i
23267s don't know if you right here you see
23269s that toronto hovering this far out
23274s they if they are going to run this i
23275s fully expect this far a composition
23279s ah all right so merit over the 76. i
23282s still think far could be pretty
23283s impactful pharah with the mercy
23285s still strong
23288s finale
23290s playing close towards that central tower
23293s making sure merit can't work down iris
23295s is also a threat
23297s sharpest attack when it comes to the
23299s baptiste stain
23301s and the icicle looks who couldn't hurt a
23303s pelican pressuring
23306s this makes it so difficult for the
23307s reinhardt he's not able to go in and
23309s dive on anybody and he's taking damage
23311s from the 76 in the pharah from either
23313s side
23315s of the muse dropping first though
23318s yeah finally though now
23319s impact starting to be felt the problem
23321s is it takes a bit a while for fire to
23322s get going in these fights to get in
23324s position you don't have that burst one
23325s one hit combo potential that echo has
23329s pelican can use that reinhardt shield
23330s stay alive a little longer but there's
23331s no iris it's his damage over time though
23334s it's just his constant poke chip damage
23336s coming down
23337s from the soldier in the pharah
23340s makes it so difficult to deal with
23342s yeah i think look i mean pelican going
23344s as low as he did with iris out of action
23346s meant the outlaws at the back up but
23347s there's a bit of a lucio
23349s oh yes
23350s lastro contests and banks up another
23352s couple of percent here as the outlaws
23354s will have to succumb
23357s eventually
23358s iris will drop so
23361s now it'll be toronto in control of the
23363s point they have to use nothing
23366s to flip the point back in their favors
23368s iris will go over to the ana now so
23371s the ana actually will help against that
23373s bar of mercy randyana does do a decent
23375s bit of damage currently
23378s so man as you see finale getting set up
23380s in a great position right over hovering
23382s right over the top of the outlaws right
23384s now on a switch
23386s no immortality field maybe i mean it's
23388s curious indeed
23389s talk about it later this finale is
23391s looking for a place to make this work
23393s but he's put to sleep eras
23395s the miracle darts
23398s still will fall sadly as muse
23401s is able to make use of that primal rage
23402s and it will still with the outlaws
23404s sent out to posture it's not bad for
23406s houston though man
23408s you can have a res here at the end but
23411s toronto just kind of everybody hit cue
23413s all at once and
23415s now you come in get valkyrie uh which
23418s they're obviously gonna provide some
23419s extra healing boost here but
23421s big ultimates online fort houston biotic
23424s grenada early that's going to force out
23425s a block real quick
23428s news with the pleasantries theirs
23430s the outlaws are going to group
23431s themselves up here it's going to be
23432s valkyrie and play here as merit goes to
23434s the attack visor and
23436s well the defense don't have the option
23438s to make themselves scarce if they're
23439s knocked to the ground muse runs into the
23441s crate there
23442s but they'll turn on with a key res yeah
23445s the race is huge
23447s looks like the blizzard goes down that's
23448s gonna result in nothing so
23453s rocket barrage there from finale good
23455s damage down there as he's going to
23456s switch over to tracer to get right back
23458s in the fight is we're looking at last
23460s fight potential here
23462s or houston
23464s you're still going to go for a new look
23465s here piggy winston
23467s pelican tracer
23469s pretty traditional looks here they need
23471s to get value out of this sound barrier
23472s for lastro it has to convert
23475s here's the speed forward lastro trying
23477s to stay outside of the bubble but piggy
23478s is sleeping with that nano no less
23481s bionic grenade connecting on the air is
23482s here last row sound barrier doesn't help
23485s his honor it's gonna be a recall for
23486s pelican here on the point finale looks
23488s unbothered for the most part now
23489s attention turning towards me doesn't
23491s have a recall getting a little bit low
23493s the healing comes through and healing
23495s though there's some choroid to keep him
23496s standing but for how long
23498s he likes rocker connects finale is down
23500s and chorong will follow
23504s toronto will concede the point
23507s back to the outlaws outlaws have to be
23509s perfect
23510s from here on out
23512s the scary part is
23515s nanovisor on deck
23518s how do you play around this right
23519s toronto they could just speed right on
23521s in use this nano visor clear out the
23523s point you got the primal as well
23526s that's not exactly what they're gonna do
23527s not much you can do about this this is
23529s scary for the outlaws and iris already
23531s riddled with bullets now the chase is on
23534s although i want to find merit and then
23536s define have the perfect combination of
23538s ultimates just to steal back into the
23540s point
23540s lastro also won't be given any room to
23543s breathe in a toronto to fire and have
23544s the ultimates they needed
23546s pelican
23548s almost a pulse here can he make use of
23549s it can he get a player advantage not to
23551s be the houston outlaws
23553s [Music]
23554s over by that nano visor
23557s there's nothing you can do about that
23559s nowhere to run and hide especially when
23561s he's getting the nano the visor the
23563s speed boost
23565s it just comes so fast that there's
23567s nowhere for you to run there against
23569s that 76 although able to pick up three
23571s there
23573s we see the define try a few things
23574s there's a pharah mercy in play punishes
23576s the reinhardt look from the outlaws who
23578s are trying to get cute with some of
23579s their tank looks but it's not enough to
23581s give them the w in map number one the
23583s outlaws
23585s need to turn up here they want to be at
23587s the other end of this bracket surviving
23589s in their home state stick around
23590s everybody because map number two
23592s is minutes away
23609s [Music]
23686s [Music]
23695s [Music]
23755s [Music]
23765s so
23778s [Music]
23801s [Music]
23824s [Music]
23836s so
23839s [Music]
23842s [Applause]
23843s [Music]
23863s being in the lower bracket facing the
23865s potential of elimination you can see
23867s what it does to these teams and what it
23868s pushes them to try for
23871s new looks or different looks from both
23873s sides here is the defined bring news in
23875s for map one in this series we get far
23877s emergency from finale they're ready to
23879s adapt to houston try to
23882s make this reinhardt symmetra look work
23885s they tried in map number one trying a
23887s little something different there
23889s bringing in
23890s piggy to play those tank rolls but
23893s change coming into map number two we'll
23895s be going to eichenbaum and it'll be
23897s dante coming in so dante we've mostly
23900s seen
23901s on the doomfist so fully expect that
23904s doomfist centric comp coming in here on
23906s the second map
23909s present in the overwatch league in its
23911s inaugural
23913s season dante been around longer than
23916s most hailed for his incredible
23919s flexibility
23920s and his work ethic
23922s it was said of him by
23923s you know the coaching staff over at the
23925s shock when he was on there that this guy
23926s could legitimately play everything
23930s and the question is
23932s will it be the doomfist once more well
23934s the outlaws look to that composition the
23936s one that fits them just like a comfy
23938s onesie
23939s to try and snap back in this series or
23940s do they need to try something a little
23942s different it has to be you would think
23944s if you were gonna play the winston if
23946s you were gonna play uh reinhard or sigma
23949s you would probably have piggy in and you
23951s know eigenvald it's been pretty good for
23953s the doomfist players so i think that's
23955s what we're going to see i think toronto
23957s they probably have something planned
23958s against them
23960s no substitutions for the toronto defiant
23962s side of things so expect to see muse
23965s showing his best in this series we've
23967s talked about we've seen a lot of
23968s different approaches on like involved so
23971s far and more recently uh you know
23973s zarya-based compositions have been
23975s pretty popular right just sending the
23978s reaper upstairs with a bubble and seeing
23980s what he can come back with
23982s and obviously using doomfist to make
23983s transitions between high and low grounds
23985s pretty comfortably is
23987s quite useful especially for a team like
23989s the outlaws remember this is the houston
23991s outlaws that showed a fantastic iconvol
23993s game against uh the london spitfire they
23996s were extremely good at using dante to
23998s dig that baptiste
23999s of landon out the back line so it's very
24001s clear that they can play to a couple of
24003s different win conditions with the
24005s doomfist they can be flexible
24007s right but that's against london who's
24008s going to run those reinhardt base
24009s compositions i doubt we're going to see
24011s that here
24013s from the toronto defiant on defense yeah
24016s all showing exactly what we thought they
24017s would run right they're going to be
24018s running that doomfist base composition
24021s have iris play the moira
24024s so you're going to have the reaper in
24025s here too hello yeah i mean and you
24027s definitely feel like okay we've seen
24029s switches to moira uh by a few of those
24032s sort of support players so far and it
24033s quite often correlates to fear of being
24035s dove and the desire to have that extra
24037s step of mobility
24039s to avoid just disintegrating winner
24041s genji aura winston looks wrong
24043s [Music]
24048s get up here on the pylon
24050s get a little bit of a look finale just a
24052s jump shot there
24054s nothing gonna come through let's see
24055s what he just needs to play okay so
24056s you're gonna play tracer so no 76 876 is
24059s a dive target sometimes in the the
24061s background gonna play the trace is gonna
24063s put a lot of pressure
24065s on dante right the tracer is pretty good
24067s with the genji against doom merritt's
24069s playing
24070s obviously the reaper without a zarya
24072s backup so the style of playmat has to be
24074s really different
24076s yeah way different the doom's going to
24077s go in and the reaper is going to just
24079s basically try and follow it up the
24080s reaper is not the frontliner
24083s like when you see it in those zarya
24084s based compositions is
24086s so just move through the choke a little
24088s bit pressure and then they'll back up
24092s not looking to overcommit there on that
24093s doomfist
24095s getting closer towards the medial strike
24097s which is a get out of jail free card and
24099s although couldn't chase
24101s after lastro who was limping away
24104s but the defiant inch ever closer here
24106s looking to try and take things to their
24108s own hands until the outlaws choose to
24109s start the fight on their terms
24111s pelican playing from the fringes here is
24113s he in finale exchange blows and oh
24116s finale was getting close to a pulse from
24117s there still made up mana iris is gonna
24119s be hit with a biotic grenade no chance
24120s to escape his pelican who has to stand
24122s tall in the absence of that support
24127s great walking this is bad for merit yeah
24128s he'll be chased down that's the scary
24130s part about playing reaper here man
24133s yeah you do have pelicans still there
24134s dante coming off spawn
24138s you have the meteor strength you can
24139s have coalescence maybe you can get back
24141s here and challenge this you're not going
24142s to be at full strength though
24144s the outlaws they move forward a little
24146s bit but then deciding you know let's not
24147s throw anything after this let's let them
24149s take the point and then play a close d
24152s couple of weaknesses just
24153s compositionally for the outlaws get
24154s exploited but they're willing to
24155s continue fighting now iris is going to
24157s come in with a coalescence that's going
24159s to require chorong to dig for the sound
24161s barrier there's a dragon blade here and
24163s aris is already filled by it although
24165s looking extremely comfortable here on
24167s the genji makes short work of pelican
24169s was really the outlaw shining star in
24171s that previous fight tell you i i really
24173s like this toronto team uh you said a few
24176s times during the season probably the
24177s best one they've ever put together uh
24179s for overwatch league and i think they
24182s have a lot of potential and starting to
24184s see them maybe realize that
24186s here in texas is
24188s they'll be able to win that fight you
24190s hold on to some key ultimate so for
24191s houston you should be able to win this
24193s next fight uh if you don't win this next
24195s one you're in a lot of trouble but you
24196s wanna you wanna maintain control of that
24198s high ground if you can pelicans like oh
24199s i've got some overshield better go to
24200s work catches a stray slowly from
24203s twilight
24204s and it's gonna be picked up by although
24206s as a result but
24208s not a big deal more of a footnote in the
24209s fight for the outlaws as they break
24211s theirs off in the defiance behind
24213s speed boost
24215s sound barrier go right in
24217s all over the supports that's kind of the
24219s plan there and
24220s they executed it to perfection so
24224s the reaper trying to sit up on the high
24225s ground you see where merit is you know
24227s maybe just
24228s wait get some information from one of
24229s his teammates then jump down and
24231s approach with this death blossom well we
24233s get to see the proof of concept for this
24235s zagalos reaper look
24237s merritt needs to make a death blossom
24238s work and he won't get any defensive
24239s utility
24241s dante gets chased down there good set up
24243s that was twilight getting involved now
24244s and pelican another wayward pulse bomb
24247s without a recipient
24249s merit a bit awkwardly sort of out in the
24251s open has to just tp backwards and again
24253s that reaper looking for a chance to show
24255s up
24256s you know when the doomfist has power
24257s block i think teams know now obviously
24259s don't shoot it right
24261s and and you're able to get like biotic
24263s grenades sleeps the tracer kind of
24265s flanking behind doing big damage and
24268s right there you saw a power block and
24269s then they just threw a biotic grenade at
24271s it as banana boost goes on the muse he's
24273s just looking oh it goes on although
24275s actually and he's looking for something
24276s yeah he's able to find lasso at the very
24278s least and that's the death blossom from
24279s merrick a little short only able to find
24282s twilight and then force to back away
24285s really have to be critical of that
24287s choice here
24289s it's not paying off
24292s pelican will go to echo so
24295s echo can help burn some of these players
24297s down rather quickly like jump on in use
24299s that focusing beam with the damage that
24301s comes down from the doom and the reaper
24303s is it gonna be good enough though with
24304s the tracer in the mix unsheathed and
24308s unleashes although
24310s really just watering
24313s in every sense of the word matt
24314s un-ironically so
24316s finally able to clip pelicans wings here
24318s and although is well entrenched in the
24320s vicinity of those backliners
24322s okay fade is able to be used there by
24324s iris as that coalescence fades away
24327s sound barrier has to be used for the
24328s outlaws they've got to dig a little bit
24329s deeper here music is going to get a
24330s defensive party grenade and that's a
24332s nice little stick on the corner it's
24333s gonna be here as force
24334s to fight away from that pulse bomb and
24336s biotic grenade hit on to dante he tries
24338s to get back to the rest of that team and
24340s both flankers there you have the genji
24342s and the tracer in position to capitalize
24346s point two three meters the outlaws have
24348s a chance to hold on for dante to return
24350s to the fight the iris getting rid of
24351s although it was pretty big slurping him
24353s on down but a bionic grenade that could
24355s be disastrous for the outlaws the last
24358s thing you want to be eating there
24360s it's just not diet friendly
24364s you know i think we ran the grand for
24365s last time these teams matched up it was
24367s a 3-2 for the toronto defiant
24370s you can take some stuff that we saw from
24372s the series i know yesterday that the
24374s outlaws played you can take some stuff
24376s from that match right you can start to
24377s put together a game plan tailored for
24379s this team and it looks like that's what
24380s they've done
24382s still the reaper look for merit here
24384s dante has to get out there he ejects
24386s with the meteor strikes quickly back
24388s into the fray strikes off that biotic
24389s grenade of merit gets rid of toronto
24391s here this part of the map maybe you
24393s think the reaper can find value without
24395s backup without extra utility dedicated
24398s towards it yeah this is a better portion
24400s of the map for reaper right these close
24402s quarter areas you can fight on these
24405s corners
24407s although it's been building up these
24408s blades rather quickly you're gonna have
24409s another one here
24411s with sound barrier so maybe you combo
24413s those in the mix and you'll have the
24415s nano save for a little bit later
24419s let's see how toronto decides to do this
24422s they're they're kind of in the driver's
24423s seat right now as
24425s heiress needs to be wary of pulse
24426s bombing of his coalescence but he's able
24428s to strike first
24429s and strike hard
24431s merits there with the death blossom the
24433s coalescence means that it's really
24434s impossible to
24436s remove the reaper mid ultimate that's
24438s what the animals need to do start to
24439s wait a little bit here they shave a good
24441s 30 seconds off the clock with that fight
24446s you're not upset with that if you're
24447s toronto you use nothing they ended up
24449s dumping a ton into that one so
24451s you come back sound barrier is the only
24453s thing available for houston
24456s you're toronto you know you're kind of
24457s just
24458s looking at some of these ultimates you
24459s have to have an idea that's the case and
24461s twilight dies right away
24464s the outlaws explode there sound barriers
24466s for both sides but twilight got burst
24468s down that's what we're talking about
24469s echo doesn't need to ramp up she doesn't
24471s go for that chip damage over the course
24473s of the fight like pharah does he get in
24474s there dig hands there didn't get the job
24476s done
24478s it's although not an opportunity to use
24480s the blade a pelican takes him out as
24484s there's a kill here as well yeah
24486s very nice now it started to pick up
24489s producing echo
24492s is favored when you take the pace of the
24493s game into your own hands
24495s as long as the outlaws can be proactive
24497s pelican will always be able to gain
24499s purchase on some of these weaker targets
24501s have bursted down with the combo
24503s and those ultimates you talked about him
24506s define them and muse goes over to zarya
24508s they're gonna play zarya reaper here so
24512s ah finale gets right to the payload just
24514s gets destroyed that's a look we need
24517s duplication of the zaga here for pelican
24520s finally americans a bubble
24522s bit of damage on although here he's
24524s having to not pelican out of that
24525s duplicate but eris
24527s comes in with the suck it's over time
24529s now amuse is gonna puddle over towards
24531s the car he's out of gas
24534s as is his locomotive
24537s and that'll be it for the toronto to
24538s fight finally shut down as the outlaws
24541s get aggressive yeah and that's a good
24543s hold from the outlaws at the end you
24544s want to see that type of aggression
24546s maybe you can repeat that on offense
24549s the reaper wasn't really working out
24550s there towards the end uh towards the
24552s beginning and then once the end hit you
24554s kind of got inside this close quarter
24555s area the reaper i think really probably
24556s the echo was the one that made the
24558s difference uh being able to
24559s burn some of those targets down the
24561s reaper gets low with that focusing beam
24563s uh
24564s and that's where it starts to really
24565s come alive for houston so we'll see what
24567s they decide to run here off the rip
24570s from houston it was an interesting
24571s variation the kind of a hybrid between
24573s that that the zarya reaper look in the
24575s the doomfist compositions
24578s yeah what is the consensus
24581s [Music]
24586s dun tank okay there you go thanks for
24588s settling that for us matthew right so
24590s the outlaws here
24592s may have to go for a similar cop i think
24593s like that
24594s look the
24595s the look with moira probably
24597s feels a bit better for you as you're an
24598s attacker again if you continue to want
24600s to be proactive
24602s the defiant also want to you know play
24604s these sort of two dive dps so it stands
24606s to reason that iris has made the move to
24607s the mad scientist
24609s maybe we'll see pelican go for the echo
24611s we'll see him on the tracer probably at
24614s the start but
24616s echo looked to be a pretty strong pick
24618s for pelican there was one strong pick
24620s from last season right
24622s looks really good there's merrick
24624s goes back to river there after firing
24626s just a few shots into the wall
24630s here we go
24631s [Applause]
24636s immediately you know you can get up
24637s pretty close here is all right merit tp
24639s into the back
24640s relatively undetected dante also making
24642s sure he lands in the same spot here so
24644s pelican goes back and switches to echo
24646s so this is talking about maybe we see
24648s him go back the echo they do it early
24651s into the uh
24652s hunter's lodge we go
24655s and it looks like it's simeon on the
24657s menu merit has to fade away great walk
24660s rather
24661s and the outlaws try a bit of a bit of a
24662s thrust here and we'll be turned aside
24664s for a moment pelican needs to be a
24666s little bit careful those eyes are
24667s starting to swivel in this direction but
24669s dante
24669s [Applause]
24671s that's big
24673s although he comes a little bit too late
24674s to the party again pelican
24677s gets the stickies dante got a nice punch
24680s onto twilight
24681s knocked him out of the fight early on
24684s that's what i'm talking about they did
24685s this against london different comps yes
24686s but the objective is still the same get
24688s rid of that high throughput support
24690s first and do it with doomfist and
24692s although we'll go over to 76 so 76 in
24695s tracer the damage dealer combo
24698s for the toronto defiant des
24701s this will be pretty effective against
24703s the echo as you see pelican heading back
24704s to spawn so i'll probably be a swap for
24707s pelican i imagine yep gonna go over the
24709s tracer
24711s bring in a better option the echo here
24713s going up to the high ground would have
24714s been really tough
24717s pelican also
24720s more easily able to join up with dante
24722s now that all doe was just toned back a
24724s little bit on dive look pulse bomb not
24727s there finally hoping again body block in
24729s the aftermath of it
24730s spots the outlaws though clearly
24732s occupied with something else
24734s getting that high ground control seems
24735s to be the order again
24737s dante strikes
24739s the doofus starting to shine a little
24741s bit more there he just bulldozes his way
24743s through the formation of the defiant
24745s again this winston's set up defensively
24747s a little deficient when the doomfist
24749s comes to play
24751s i don't think it's the winston defense i
24753s think it's the aggressive doomfist on
24755s offense
24757s you saw the doom towards the end of this
24758s map be effective and that was when they
24761s were being the ones that were starting
24762s the fights kicking it off
24764s so now you see the outlaws upping the
24766s pressure here that's when dante's
24768s clicking
24770s power block
24771s developed here
24775s misses through twilight
24777s again time to get out of this position
24779s canceling that power block there you
24781s have the punch to get out this is where
24783s the specialization on doofus started to
24786s show up in a big way
24787s all right that's a time back and a half
24790s five minutes plus
24792s in the time bank
24795s some kills here going down towards the
24796s end of this is
24799s yeah great map selection for houston as
24801s they have looked dominant here
24804s plenty to work with in this next fight
24805s as well they want to keep on this
24807s proactive trend going they've got the
24808s ultimates to do so and then put the
24811s define in a one spot situation shell
24813s shocked stumbling away other defined
24816s twilight gonna get started early on here
24817s in a sound barrier from chorong lastro
24819s also reciprocates here they're able to
24821s get purchased on twilight they lose eras
24823s though and although tactical visor it's
24825s timely as you like dante there with the
24827s power block gets rid of all though and
24828s finale as a pulse but we may not have to
24830s use i'm gonna find we're able to find
24833s their feet even if just for a moment
24836s i think
24838s [Applause]
24840s they may be able to just come right in
24842s and clean this up as dante jumps in
24844s you're gonna have a core lessons coming
24845s in for mirrors here too
24848s here's the setup
24850s here's the coalescence away he goes
24852s moves a little bit low here pelican here
24853s with a bite of grenade but maybe not
24855s much to worry about here is there it is
24857s mused plucked out of the mix that are
24859s fired
24861s not a lot you can do about this one you
24863s just accept your face
24864s has that become
24870s lightning fast time there for the
24872s outlaws to tie it up
24876s dante comes in and plays tremendous
24878s there on the doom
24879s you got to imagine they try and keep him
24881s in but with the toronto defiant map pick
24884s could really pick something that gives
24886s the doomfist trouble again i don't see
24888s dante in a hurry to get out of his seat
24890s here the outlaws realizing okay yes we
24892s may have been
24894s exploited a little bit playing our
24895s doomfist composition into the gladiators
24897s but the defiant may not have the
24899s playbook to counter it
24900s okay this one's starting to heat up
24902s everybody it better not be going too far
24904s as map number three
24906s is just around the corner
24925s [Music]
24931s [Music]
24948s [Music]
24951s hey
24957s [Music]
24969s [Applause]
24971s do
24979s [Music]
25009s [Music]
25028s [Music]
25043s [Music]
25049s [Music]
25085s [Music]
25091s do
25092s [Music]
25125s [Music]
25139s [Music]
25151s [Music]
25166s [Music]
25168s what's better than hitting a huge primal
25170s rage doing it in style do you need to
25172s watch five hours of the kickoff clash
25174s this weekend to claim your very own
25176s overwatch league winston home and away
25178s skins remember if you're here in person
25180s you can claim those in the overwatch
25182s league
25183s app
25185s speaking of which matthew we are getting
25187s some tank
25188s swaps some substitutions i thought it
25190s looks like it's comfortable there that's
25191s until the map pip came through uh and
25193s that seems to have changed things a
25194s little bit now for the outlaws and then
25195s the fire yeah toronto clearly showing
25198s their strategy is they want to avoid the
25200s maps that potentially this doomfist
25202s could be good for seattle also beat them
25204s on something else because
25206s their pick for the next map for escort
25208s will be circuit royale so
25211s see piggy come back in for the outlaws
25213s and it looks like the defiant making
25215s some changes as well i see
25218s he soon
25219s gonna be subbing in here for finale
25221s [Music]
25223s young player was definitely touted to to
25225s really be the next coming of
25227s a top superstar dps and starting to grow
25229s into that role now under
25231s this roster
25233s we'll also see hotbar
25235s the self-professed new big boss
25237s for muse
25239s so
25240s hopper probably ends up playing
25242s something like sigma we see sigma decent
25244s amount of the time on this map
25246s ah
25248s i will say
25250s off of like past play like you'd have to
25252s say piggy in the sigma role
25255s is cracked yeah sigma is good it may not
25257s be as much of an advantage as the
25258s toronto divide might expect
25264s but again this map is pretty unique
25267s uh i guess in a similar way that
25268s gibraltar is the sort of
25270s you know the topography lends itself to
25272s you know composite compositions of
25274s feature like baptiste sometimes even
25275s zenyatta season on this map sometimes
25278s uh again sort of poke cop is really the
25282s way to play when you've got a sigma in
25283s the mix
25285s this chord orb is you know adds another
25286s layer of complexity to how the the sort
25289s of
25290s you know tanks play sometimes even we
25291s see you know symmetra to try and cover
25293s some of these gaps get to high ground
25295s and may plenty
25297s i think
25298s i think it's a big map for toronto as
25300s well
25301s in that
25302s both commercio and new queen street are
25305s pretty decent for the doomfist
25306s compositions we've seen teams run those
25308s to pretty good effect on that
25310s so
25311s you have to pick one of them right so
25314s you know you end up winning this it kind
25315s of secures you that game five in case
25317s things kind of go sideways and push
25321s and again we've also seen reinhardt
25323s comps on this map as well hanzo gets
25324s busted out just because the sight lines
25326s are pretty favorable looking at these
25329s two teams the hanzo probably feels a
25330s little more likely
25332s i actually think do you play
25334s uh you know does he sue come in maybe
25336s play some widow potentially
25338s hanzo widow like things like that like i
25341s mean if if anyone maybe you expect that
25344s from you know all those
25347s when i've seen him on that longer range
25348s hit scan from time to time for his i
25350s mean
25351s hanzo is definitely a
25352s pick that he's he's been known for
25354s really played
25355s a lot of stuff like alongside knights if
25357s you recall like he was obviously filling
25359s a lot of gaps his nice favorite uh
25361s flanking flanking opportunities playing
25363s the echo
25364s quite often circuit rule though this
25366s will give us a unique opportunity to put
25368s these two teams under the microscope on
25371s a map that is like we mentioned before a
25373s little different to a lot of these other
25375s escort maps in layout
25377s and yeah already we're starting to see
25379s the segments locked in yep sigma and
25381s when you see this we definitely like you
25383s mentioned see the zenyatta with the
25385s brigitta
25386s and he sue is it to play that widowmaker
25389s so
25389s it looks like that widowmaker although
25393s be that flex that goes over to the genji
25395s uh what do you think the outlaws play i
25398s think piggy is definitely obviously into
25400s play this the sigma you're gonna have
25402s that
25403s if you're gonna play the sigma you're
25404s going to play this end right
25407s what do you get out of the dps you can
25409s you can play symmetra here i think it's
25411s much the same principle as playing
25412s around the reinhardt shield you know
25414s beyond a play front line with that extra
25415s layer of protection i don't mind this
25417s like if you ram the double sniper right
25419s actually
25419s it's just so maybe a sonic arrow to
25421s check above yeah also we get an iris
25423s zenyatta here so
25425s pretty similar looks double sniper
25428s punished to the positioning errors here
25429s if possible
25431s see less of this from merit but again
25433s definitely in his wheelhouse
25435s and hanzo just you're able to pick up
25438s these kills from anywhere right just a
25440s random like headshot it feels like at
25441s times hanzo is able to connect with
25443s especially with the discord to just burn
25445s players down with storm arrows so
25449s yeah playing this corner you'll be
25450s pretty careful but they've got hopper in
25452s such a compromising position and he's
25454s still able to find his way out of it
25456s although he's there by his side
25457s and he comes
25459s some of us are showing the bat signal
25460s because he descends
25462s upon pelican
25463s they can't really fight inside against
25465s harper there uh when you have to be
25468s long-range snipers they don't have the
25469s sight lines to put down lots of damage
25471s charon able to just swing away on the
25474s brick
25475s it's a pelican now we'll go over to
25477s tracer so this will be an opportunity to
25478s finish off some of those kills if you
25480s get an advantage like that
25482s still a little bit tough i mean
25484s always a risk going up against zen and
25485s brigitte is very good at sort of
25486s displacing you as tracer moving you back
25488s to sub-optimal ranges
25492s i'm going to chase although away at
25493s least is pelican
25496s widow shots ringing out from the
25497s background as both he saw and merit look
25499s to try and gain the upper hand
25501s again you can't just push into hopper
25502s right there trong has insane healing at
25505s close range but gets caught out there
25507s being able to punish hotbar although
25509s though more than happy
25511s getting his hands dirty here we'll need
25512s to seat some ground because they don't
25514s have that sigma shield available it's
25516s trades for both teams though and the
25517s shield runs out from piggy and that'll
25520s be a shot from his who finish him off as
25523s toronto may be able to stop any more
25525s payload progress
25527s a really significant payload progresses
25529s yellows will get back on it now but
25531s still don't have their tank in the mix
25535s pop up
25536s back on the scene now i was gonna say
25539s i'm surprised he should have packed up
25540s very aggressive position
25541s [Music]
25542s he's able to relocate of course with
25544s that grapple merits
25546s although knows better
25549s yes the dash away just as the deflect
25552s duration is up
25554s recall there from pelican here's the
25555s play from although and everybody trying
25557s to jockey back at defensive gravity flux
25559s as well catches hot butt at least we'll
25561s drop him fairly low the alas don't have
25563s the mechanisms to push that advantage
25565s any further and that's a big gravity
25568s hard bar punishes although follows up
25571s what was interesting there too
25574s is that typically we see when the
25575s graviton surge is used that's when we
25578s see transcendence come out they end up
25580s actually popping the rally instead uh
25582s during that keeps them alive which
25585s now you have that transcendence to maybe
25587s fight a little bit longer on the payload
25589s if things get a little bit uh hectic
25591s it's a
25593s interesting decision there because
25594s typically like the transcendence really
25596s the ultimate that is big there but maybe
25598s they felt there wasn't a lot of damage
25599s incoming with that graviton
25602s blocks coming through
25605s all right here it is
25607s for both widowmakers iris trying to work
25609s this shield down and then help his front
25612s line of pressure
25613s who gets caught merit able to clean him
25615s up then his caught orb assisting of
25616s course
25617s didn't even need the headshot
25620s oh my okay transcendence comes a little
25622s bit late for twilight what's he hoping
25624s for here pelican continuing
25627s to keep you honest pop was able to stay
25630s alive even with the transcendence kept
25631s that sigma in position to do damage but
25633s is there more from the defiant
25636s they use the transcendence to just march
25639s on forward and kill
25641s iris
25643s i don't like that at all i mean
25645s uh uh maybe if you were gonna pop it to
25648s save like chorong and then you could
25649s have like fought with the brig in the
25651s sigma in the close range like i kind of
25652s get that but
25654s yeah it seemed like he was holding it
25655s for so long and usually wondering why
25658s the
25659s it's a a bit of an odd use
25662s obviously using in a short-handed
25663s situation doesn't bode well hotbob was
25665s able to use it to you know go aggressive
25667s final elimination but you're already so
25669s far behind in that fight
25672s pelican is
25674s playing the fringes here
25676s i don't think he's looking but pelican
25678s doesn't actually notice him still sticks
25680s there and twilight with that
25681s transcendence he didn't hold on to
25683s he is going to go down a banger of a
25685s headshot on the pelican though by he's
25687s soon
25688s i think he's going to have to go for
25689s shaman hands here
25692s right back and this is the transcendence
25694s green light and more ways than one for
25696s the outlaws to start playing a bit
25697s further forward joron has a shield pass
25699s to try and reposition but it's unlikely
25700s to escape here look at this
25702s piggy's taking a face full of damage but
25704s although it gets caught in between the
25706s pelicans able to find him at a crucial
25708s moment gravity flux here used reactively
25710s not enough to remove hotbar but there's
25712s a lot of pressure coming his way
25713s from a safe spot he gets rid of piggy
25715s now hotbar eventually gets run over by
25718s his own
25719s hyperspheres a chaotic fight as both
25722s rallies are popped there
25724s piggy ends up trying to turn that with
25726s his gravity fluxes he knew that it was
25728s uh charong and hotba that were quite low
25730s around the corner but the rally was able
25733s to keep them up through that is
25735s both teams just going going wild with
25738s some of these ultimates is maybe houston
25740s thought that it was close enough the
25741s players in toronto are so spread out all
25743s over the place maybe they felt they were
25744s a little bit disjointed and could take
25745s advantage of it wants to start with a
25753s not in position to you know capitalize
25755s on that you want the winner to have that
25756s stationary target just to pop
25757s immediately so
25758s i appreciate the attempt to be proactive
25762s but then ultimate goes down the gurgle
25767s dangerous very dangerous merit with two
25769s that's big errors slaps although back
25771s now and mirror will take to the skies
25774s toronto get punished as hopper tries to
25777s go forward and start something up they
25778s come away with ashes in their mouth
25781s do you need that gravity flux to come up
25783s with something they have no support alts
25785s on their side if it just connects with
25787s anybody
25789s take a look here in president
25792s stunning work
25794s that's sick stuff
25795s some uh you know assistance there of
25798s course but
25800s even so that's exactly what the outlaws
25802s were looking for there especially after
25804s being on a sort of juke we'll call it a
25806s jew
25807s hot versus gravity flux
25808s there's no reason he didn't even have to
25810s do it that proactive right he could have
25811s just waited a little bit like them to
25813s come up around that corner maybe use it
25815s there a little bit safer
25817s they
25819s the outlaws position was sort of
25820s misrepresented to them
25822s either way we digress somewhat now is
25825s merit will take a pretty typical
25826s position here
25828s he's trying to wrap around there he's
25830s who takes care of him
25833s although now knows where merit is it's
25834s more than happy just to let him know
25836s that he noticed him noticing that he's
25838s on notice
25839s yeah both supports down here for houston
25844s he's gonna end up losing this just they
25846s can they prevent some of these staggers
25847s is
25849s you do not want to get baited here by
25851s merritt into a headshot
25853s clean though there
25855s pretty darn aggressive from although to
25856s be fair
25857s definitely aggressive yeah
25859s 37 seconds left in the round here the
25861s outlaws have been
25862s round to a halt
25865s they don't have correct positioning here
25867s not like they did earlier on
25870s getting that uh key kill on last row
25872s there kisu really opening out for
25874s toronto to take some real estate
25877s hop is really pretty reluctant to give
25878s it up here
25882s although i mean good discipline
25883s doesn't just recall there arbitrarily
25886s play the clock
25887s 10 seconds on the clock now
25890s for the outlaws it's the hardest turn
25892s this home stretch is so difficult to get
25894s it to the end although gonna os with the
25897s card as much as he can a pelican as a
25898s pulse bomb this could open the fight
25900s right up but the defender playing for
25902s the high and low ground respectively
25904s pulse bomb though from although not so
25906s good and again again tracer with a pulse
25909s that's insanity
25911s pelican takes down although still the
25913s job to do though now as the infrasight
25915s comes out from he sue a lot of pressure
25917s on twilight but he's up for the task
25921s this pelican gets that orb of discord
25923s back and we'll have to look for another
25924s way to get into the fight hopper might
25926s be overwhelmed here if he's not careful
25927s it's gonna be a transcendence to try and
25928s keep
25934s [Applause]
25943s but they'll be glad
25945s to get it home
25947s the support usage there from toronto was
25950s uh
25951s black luster i would say
25954s so you end up popping the rally you
25955s don't get anything uh with whether
25957s nobody really stays alive the
25959s transcendence pop that to keep hopper
25961s alive inside the gravity flux and it
25963s looks like he's maybe outside of its
25965s effect or just isn't getting healed
25966s enough by it yeah and the transcendence
25968s comes
25969s a bit late as well maybe they thought
25971s that the rally would have been enough a
25972s little bit of a panic there towards the
25973s end
25974s that's tough there for toronto because
25976s that's like a long stretch of the map
25978s where you think you could be able to get
25979s a hold in that type of position right
25981s you just exchange ultimates you have a
25982s defensive spawn right you're really just
25984s looking for kill trades at that point
25986s not able to come up with it i mean
25988s your mental is absolutely
25991s boomed after your tracer plan getting
25992s stuck
25994s it's a very rare occurrence indeed he
25996s had used the recall because he was
25998s coming back from trying to get a pulse
25999s bomb i was just saying he was being
26000s disciplined about not using it
26003s he was caught without it when it really
26005s counted
26009s okay yeah we know this one
26012s very legal maneuver don't you worry
26015s very legal
26017s i think they're definitely trying to
26018s imply their presence above
26022s so okay so we actually merit here on
26024s that symmetra right so we're seeing the
26025s outlaws go back to the reinhardt base
26026s comfortably we saw from them on lee
26029s tower even and that's sort of scattered
26031s out by toronto here as we see the pharah
26033s mercy look again toronto did this
26035s in that first map
26037s and hopper on the winston here so
26041s not something we typically see out of
26043s hot though
26045s but they should be able to put out loads
26047s of damage here because this reiner comp
26048s wants to play in the close quarters
26051s the far damage with some ash damage
26053s could end up forcing it out in the open
26054s but hot hartford gets deleted and this
26056s is tough for winston to play with his
26058s comp like
26059s where do you go do you just wait for
26061s although to like take someone low and
26062s try and dive them i mean you have like
26064s decent amount of burst healing from
26066s errors and an immortality field so
26067s really makes you think twice about
26069s diving at all is the winston
26074s what is that tp okay last row got caught
26077s ah this is awkward for the outlaws man
26079s oh no no no no no no
26082s barrage thrown in for good measure
26085s ears hit with a sleepers what's the plan
26088s with that tp
26089s maybe they were just trying to like
26091s dodge a little bit of way to relocate
26093s uh from that position because you're out
26095s there in the street the shield's only
26096s gonna last for a certain amount of time
26098s they keep their reinhardt in the mix no
26100s sim they're going to bring in cassidy
26102s here who the casio get out ranged
26105s by he sue
26106s but maybe do some damage his farmers
26108s he's just behind enemy lines look at
26110s this he's just gonna come on a sick
26112s plank here
26113s on the ash of all things merit has no
26115s idea dynamite
26118s that's all he's not giving away his
26120s position and uh
26121s he lacks the mechanisms to escape in a
26123s pinch but the outlaws don't seem to mind
26125s too much about jesus they're going to
26127s have to play card
26129s they've got to do something about this
26130s ash he she was a real menace right now
26132s and there it is
26134s yeah that's a lastro going back as well
26136s putting some pressure on
26138s could be could be a risk there yeah
26139s based on where although we're touring a
26141s parking but pop-up was already taken
26143s down
26144s piggy sleeping because he earned it
26146s ah yes balance stability
26149s [Music]
26150s yeah that uh
26152s that macaroni is pretty strong you know
26154s the the lock on at close range shouldn't
26156s have worn any metal items mercy that's
26158s on you
26159s so now you come back for toronto you'll
26161s have a good
26163s good bunch of ultimates but
26165s sound barrier blizzard you know you get
26166s stuck in the blizzard there's really uh
26168s you know some
26169s not great targets to try and go after
26170s the blizzard right maybe after like a
26172s winston leap after he comes in maybe a
26174s stop a big primal it's bad
26176s it doesn't feel good at all not a great
26178s comp to use the blizzard into
26180s still though the right clicks are
26182s consistent although going deep barrage
26185s here's gonna be answered by the sound
26186s barrier and they shut the pharah menace
26188s down iris
26190s is the dead eye in this instance
26192s no chance to really raise this safely
26195s charon goes in anyway hopper probably
26197s creates the just about right amount of
26199s discord
26200s to get the mercy in there
26202s and they save private although
26204s and they get the bomb down in the street
26206s no honor
26208s for the outlaws so bob able to get one
26211s bob put down some damage from the side
26213s it's not gonna be enough though to take
26215s this first checkpoint throw it back to
26217s when we said the pelican was in a
26218s terrible situation this comp cast a
26220s curse there as he gets run down a chance
26222s maybe to switch off of this though to
26224s something a little more comfortable
26226s he she won the hanzo now with piggy he's
26229s taken in the market
26232s seems to have not been in for the
26235s toronto defiant
26236s hey don't forget this is their map this
26238s is their map
26240s uh
26241s which i get you want to force the
26243s outlaws off of doomfist play
26246s but not let six uh piggy play the sigma
26248s right where he's really strong and then
26251s play these rush comps which a lot of
26252s teams can execute
26254s it's go time now for the defiant
26257s no more opportunities this is their last
26259s chance we're all throwing up there to
26260s try and cordon hot off for the rest of
26262s his team piggy's going to move forward
26264s here
26266s jedi creates some space that's it
26272s merrick cleans him up there as he tries
26273s to go upstairs and he'll go all the way
26275s up to the pearly gates here's the sound
26277s barrier for the houston outlaws and he
26279s sue is too low to do anything about it
26280s twilight desperately trying to get some
26282s touch and he'll make it to the card but
26284s he won't be rewarded with very much at
26286s all and slap to the back of the head is
26288s the houston say no though this is our
26290s map too
26294s it's the toronto defiance map pick but
26297s the outlaws dominate on it
26299s it's toronto not even able to get point
26301s a their own map selection as piggy run
26305s baby well and also the sigma if if
26308s they're going to force you in a position
26310s or you got to play honda on the winston
26312s that is not an ideal scenario
26314s i think if you're a toronto you probably
26316s got to come back with muse here i think
26317s you got to bring him in to play that
26320s winston in whatever next map we go into
26322s and again it's going to be push ryan you
26323s mentioned earlier on yeah
26325s one of two maps here houston did quite
26328s happily bring the doomfist back in you
26329s said this had to be a map win for the
26331s defiant if they wanted a map five
26334s scenario
26335s i'm sure they'll be discussing now of
26336s course what the oncoming map is going to
26338s be he's going to ask the players as they
26340s come off the stage but the outlaws now
26342s have the advantage looking to put the
26344s define away in advance in this lower
26345s bracket don't go anywhere
26350s incoming
26353s [Music]
26362s [Music]
26369s [Music]
26377s foreign
26379s um
26380s [Music]
26394s [Music]
26412s [Music]
26451s so
26453s [Music]
26472s [Music]
26480s so
26485s [Music]
26508s [Music]
26518s uh
26520s [Music]
26534s [Music]
26551s [Music]
26563s [Music]
26613s [Music]
26631s [Music]
26646s [Applause]
26650s all the toronto defiant brought a silver
26652s bullet to this sundown duel but it
26655s turned out to be a dud as circuit royale
26658s sees him get clobbered by the reinhardt
26660s set up with picky at the four absolutely
26662s destroyed there on circuit royal uh and
26665s i picked toronto at the beginning of
26666s this series to win and i i don't feel
26669s great about it right now
26671s they do pick coliseum going into the
26673s next map so we'll have some time to
26675s break that down but i'm more interested
26677s is
26677s we don't have either team making any
26679s subs uh looks like everybody's staying
26682s pat in terms of the rosters you got any
26684s predictions
26686s i mean i i think if you're toronto
26688s you're going to end up playing the zarya
26690s based stuff
26691s houston it's interesting no piggy we've
26693s seen him play some winston we've seen
26695s him play some rhyme like we know you can
26696s play the off tanks
26699s really flexible in terms of what they
26700s could do really outside of the doomfist
26702s we know that merit obviously has been
26704s showing up a lot
26705s when it comes to the reaper so much so
26707s that he's been playing it alongside
26708s dante's doomfist a scenario which you
26711s know there's a world where some of that
26712s defensive utility i eat the xy bubbles
26714s gets dedicated towards this man on your
26716s screen maybe just maybe
26719s he's gonna hit different
26721s but again this is a trying to fire map
26723s pick
26725s again their last one
26727s loser this game goes
26729s hope
26732s you do not want to go to a game five if
26734s you're houston the winner takes on a
26737s slightly limping san francisco shot
26740s right i mean they've gone to what two
26742s game fives so far uh they've not looked
26745s clean whatsoever they've all found their
26746s c legs even after ten maps of play no
26749s you know
26751s not not great from the shock and you
26754s know some of those games right they've
26755s had to have proper go absolutely crazy
26757s to be able to turn it so
26759s there were some choice words from the
26760s gladiators about just what they thought
26762s the strength was on that san francisco
26764s team yeah to paraphrase they definitely
26766s felt that uh proper was the main cause
26769s for concern the main threat on that team
26771s that much so that the others did not
26772s pose one
26774s strong words from the gladiators team
26775s and they're in a position to make those
26777s claims
26778s one would suppose
26779s and the outlaws would love a crack at
26781s them here
26782s send themselves further forward in this
26785s lower bracket i also think for houston
26787s you want to
26789s uh secure yourself as like a legitimate
26791s threat to you know break into some of
26793s the upper echelon in terms of the teams
26795s right
26797s it's uh you know you go out here you
26800s lose to toronto who's what are a six
26803s seed obviously separated by one but you
26805s still think that the outlaws are a you
26807s know a team that can reach that upper
26809s echelon right with the roster they put
26810s together and the big moves they made in
26812s the offseason
26813s and it's a while we get his eye mirror
26815s here
26816s definitely
26817s within piggy's reach
26820s pelicans traitor matt real highlight for
26822s the houston outlaws
26824s very very solid across this entire
26825s series
26827s and they've really needed him in a few
26828s of those clutch situations to step up
26830s and as per usual this guy is proving
26833s his worth
26834s showing us kind of why the others were
26836s so desperate to get him
26838s i see away from that atlanta rain roster
26842s let's get iris in pelican over
26845s from atlanta we've i know last show
26848s toronto defined player you kind of take
26849s uh pieces from everywhere as
26852s looks like both teams however i i fully
26854s said the sponsor defined to play the
26856s zarya based composition it's really just
26858s kind of what do we see from the houston
26860s outlaws
26861s uh pelican can play so many different
26862s things we've seen hanzo a little bit i
26864s like the hanzo especially playing in the
26866s neutral part of this map and also you
26868s can you can do a lot with the high
26869s ground as well if you are put in a
26870s defensive situation pelicans hanzo has
26872s been really solid long sight lines the
26874s ability to just get those insta kills
26876s cross
26878s map pretty much
26880s in a good spot potentially here with
26882s these hanzo picks that hanzo
26884s opens the entire game up if you're able
26887s to get a pick at this long range again
26888s that's a pinch of volatility here is
26891s sometimes there's a headshot out of
26892s nowhere and it's go go go you see those
26894s storm arrows there's bounce off the wall
26896s those almost end up killing although
26898s it's like one shot there
26901s pressure there for pelican but the
26903s objective's still locked there wasn't
26904s really much point in going forward now
26906s though different story
26909s sonic arrow is going to make sure that
26910s you know
26911s the outlaws can keep tabs on although
26913s make sure he's not trying to flank right
26914s sometimes that's a an option
26917s both of these teams trying to make sure
26918s they stay well informed about the
26920s flanking soldiers
26923s it's the robot's got to be so confused
26925s back and forth back and forth
26928s nobody's made any progress here is
26929s pelican gets himself in a dangerous spot
26931s and
26932s [Applause]
26933s two kills in favor of toronto that
26936s should be enough to get the bomb moving
26937s yeah merit obviously getting caught in
26939s some kind of compromising position and
26941s kisu just adds a kill there a headshot
26943s of long range so
26945s we build a critical mass sometimes in
26947s that neutral fight
26949s the defender wants to come up with the
26950s goods here very good stuff for them
26953s and they cannot give use that hanzo to
26954s kind of get favorable position even if
26956s they have to play
26957s you know overall from the low ground
26958s yeah they can try and control the high
26960s ground they also have the dragon strike
26962s here to use potentially split players
26964s off get an early kill you don't have to
26965s exactly combo it with the graph if you
26967s don't want to but
26969s in a spot where teams usually back up
26971s mitch
26972s the toronto defiant they're keeping this
26974s bot moving yeah they'd probably not i
26975s think have to you know again take the
26977s risk on whether hanzo fights a headshot
26978s in that neutral fight that can access
26980s the high ground here
26982s speculative dragon strike at longer
26984s range from he's to a pelican got a bit
26985s of sonic
26986s barry is here though and he's well and
26988s truly charged up he was the recipient of
26990s the nano boost there
26992s just got carved out of his bubbles and
26994s why not go for the crab here why not
26996s extend your lead and advantage houston
26999s subdued early on coliseum yeah nice play
27002s from hotbonn this sorry as uh the bots
27004s gonna get to that first checkpoint
27007s you just have he sue coming back so you
27009s can still you still try and keep
27011s advancing here
27012s hello if you're toronto
27016s piggy
27017s coming to the fight late so not a charge
27020s stop still over the pressure hop and
27021s down and let that grab go is that
27023s follow-up oh pelican's not there but the
27025s dragon strike came through for the old
27027s classic
27029s and i like the idea for toronto to hold
27032s on to sound barriers
27034s he didn't have history in that fight at
27035s the time it's not going to save you from
27036s grab dragon right you got a good uh
27039s push in terms of how far the bot has
27042s gone
27043s 65 meters
27045s why burn it there you can match sound
27047s barrier for sound barrier with your
27049s attack visor coming into this the
27050s advantage that the outlaws will have is
27052s that nano boost uh for the tech visor
27054s but
27055s maybe you can uh you know line of sight
27057s and get away
27059s also if your izaya gets charged up piggy
27062s might receive that as well as we saw
27064s from hot butt
27065s legitimate damage thrown at 100 and he
27068s see a pig he's playing aggressively gets
27069s the nano straight away but although very
27070s quickly moves into a flanking position
27072s this just stops the outlaws in their
27074s tracks they can't you know brute force
27076s their way through with pe and
27077s essentially all those positions shuts
27079s down the graph that the nano play yeah
27082s iris uses the nano but not with the
27084s visor so now you're gonna have the sound
27086s barrier coming in for both teams yellows
27088s should last a little bit longer though
27090s as it comes in towards the end
27092s attack fighter there from both sides
27093s merit
27095s the sound barrier to back up the outlaws
27096s aggression okay that's a crucial fight
27098s to win now the question is how well the
27100s entrenched can they get so to play on
27102s the causeway with that hanzo keeping
27104s pelican alive is going to be of utmost
27106s importance
27107s they're in a good spot to continue
27109s pushing this bot further and maybe even
27112s beating the defiance push because
27115s nothing really huge coming up now as i
27118s guess the only thing available it'll be
27120s a nano plus maybe a gravier
27123s for the defiant but
27125s houston they back up they don't want to
27126s take that fight in that position that's
27128s what a lot of teams usually do and yeah
27130s against with the high ground you can
27132s still they're gonna be a little
27133s susceptible to hopper's graviton surge
27135s if he's able to nail this one
27139s yeah what's going to roll back here the
27140s outlaws just saying we want the fight in
27141s the neutral we trust
27143s pelican to find king damage or even
27145s picks pelicans also building towards the
27147s ground picking rather building towards
27148s the graviton surge of his own i was
27150s going to say this neutral battle has
27151s allowed houston to build up some
27153s ultimates of their own crab dragon
27155s available last rose anyone going to be
27157s caught in the crab hot burrito
27159s get eaten up and that dragon was
27161s hungry hopper's nano booster was gonna
27162s allow him to stay alive
27166s piggy furious
27168s oh it's that nan have been so clutch
27171s to keep hot ball
27174s ah yes isu with the wiggle there able to
27177s touch some of those bullets from merit
27179s the bot gets back moving in the toronto
27182s defiance direction
27186s dangerous they don't even really need
27188s more push right well two minutes at 40.
27191s the bob pushes past the sort of more
27193s dangerous parts here
27194s they can definitely inching forward and
27195s they will if they win a fight so you
27197s know they're back up but only a little
27199s bit to try and take some favorable
27200s positions
27201s pelicans gonna make that pretty
27202s problematic for them
27204s he's found their dragon strike but it
27205s doesn't seem to have bothered the
27206s outlaws too much okay there's
27208s information there on where twilight is
27209s so storm arrows get thrown in he's too
27211s revealed by that sonic last you could
27213s have chased as you know only he can and
27215s the outlaws are back in the driver's
27216s seat
27219s it's that fight nothing really happens
27221s outside of pelican getting that first
27222s pick yeah everybody starts to just back
27224s away therefore toronto
27226s severe toronto you know you take it in
27228s the middle of the map but pelican gets a
27230s first kill
27231s crucially getting rid of history now
27233s enabling a flank angle getting
27234s information as well as hopper tries to
27236s back away but piggy wants to get
27237s aggressive he's got a nano boost and
27238s he's put to sleep great response from
27241s twilight and look at this hot button
27242s whoops four which says now we have an
27244s advantage a chance to push again back
27246s against the outlaws the green tide is
27249s halted and the defiance still have to
27251s lead yeah and although pushes on forward
27253s he can get some players with attack
27254s visor
27256s merit the last one to fall so
27259s going back into outlaw's territory yes
27265s man this is a looking like we're gonna
27267s have a game five probably written all
27269s over it if this continues a minute and
27271s 20.
27272s almost uh yellow's almost even double
27274s the time currently they're getting these
27275s first picks but not turning into
27277s anything i mean what do you do about
27278s this grab now let's throw beats okay
27279s comes at a good time he holds it for
27281s just a little bit there they've
27282s definitely no interest in using the
27283s craft dragon combo it seems they use
27285s them independently of each other quite
27286s often the outlaws say okay well we're
27288s gonna have to use a beat here but it's
27290s more than worth it
27292s we need to get
27293s on the old dusty trail man they need to
27295s get a move on
27297s less than a minute to go here i think if
27300s you're toronto you try and force out
27302s that grab dragon maybe even the
27304s attack visor and then you're playing for
27306s that next fight right last fight
27308s territory
27309s okay grab some search for hop but they
27311s want to try and get out of this neutral
27312s scenario they need to get the bot moving
27313s it's totally fine though if you're
27316s grab dragon for one player
27318s make it two towards the end you still
27320s have sound barrier you come back they
27322s don't have a nano for the visor you'll
27323s have a nano and you have your sound
27325s barrier you're in a good spot if you're
27326s the defiant
27328s you have to get back pretty quick but
27329s also the bot's gonna stop here right
27331s yeah the butt scratch is gonna cost the
27333s outlaws crucial seconds of advantage
27336s he's gonna get close now merit in attack
27338s fighter position good damage on hotbar
27341s warding him away for now i mean you've
27343s got to be careful if he sue just takes
27344s your head off it's all over for me to
27346s separate these two teams immediate sound
27348s barrier using the defiant the margins
27350s are too slim to take any risks here and
27352s piggy has gone down merit chases though
27356s he's gonna eventually fall asl pursues
27359s him still a lead for the toronto to
27360s fight now iris has to get him out of
27362s this sticky situation and he has the
27364s answer the sleep dance slows hot put
27366s down no charge for this side but still a
27368s legitimate threat forcing away the
27370s outlaws but
27373s [Applause]
27385s has to be there for twilight but it's
27386s going to get removed pretty quickly 0.07
27389s meters the punch crash is happening with
27390s the dragon strike is there to force them
27392s to fire away the outlaws skid
27394s millimeters away from victory
27398s what am i watching biggest loss
27403s say what's a town without a sheriff
27404s we're not going anywhere
27407s dude
27410s pelican went absolutely crazy
27413s are you
27416s he doesn't miss a shot with hanzo i'm
27418s convinced for the last like 45 seconds
27420s just absolutely dominates the game there
27423s towards the end
27426s it takes over
27427s when the outlaws need to play the most
27430s pelican i mean
27432s that's like a that's like a moment we
27434s talked a little bit about it like maybe
27436s gets off to a little bit of a slow start
27437s this season that's the type of moment
27439s that turns everything
27441s around but one of the most
27444s fated moments of individual brilliance
27448s that i've seen in my many years is
27450s presiding over overwatch league matches
27452s on the level of shoes baptiste and
27454s havana
27455s on the level of eqo's dragon blade
27458s the outlaws
27460s [Applause]
27461s trying to console
27463s their opponents here is
27465s i mean again if you see you just can't
27467s believe what has happened
27468s you get an early lead you look strong
27471s you play the conservative the safe game
27473s they like no alts there at the end uh i
27476s have one the the sleep on uh hopper from
27479s iris when he is so low i mean that is
27482s so clutch uh the biotic grenade keeping
27486s himself alive the nano
27488s a last row there in the mix as well
27491s but at that point pelicans one who's got
27493s to finish them all off right he's the
27495s he's the only source of damage at that
27497s time
27498s with the hanzo
27500s and he goes on
27502s he goes on a running riot there it's
27504s like
27505s absolutely dominates that looks wild man
27508s [Music]
27510s still a little bit of magic
27513s left in these halls yet
27516s truly incredible moment and i don't know
27517s what a great opportunity to get some
27519s words from the man himself let's go down
27520s to the stage with danny and
27522s the star of the show
27526s yup you guys are right i am here with
27527s the star of the show mitchum i thank you
27529s very much i have pelican here from
27531s houston outlaws
27534s first of all before i start i do want to
27536s say um i tell or we talk about who to
27539s interview the uh who i want to interview
27542s for the postmatch interview and i was
27543s just like pelican's going to do
27544s something crazy pelican's going to do
27546s something crazy i was like i want to
27547s talk to pelican and i was right
27550s what a crazy fight that was what was
27552s going through your head
27580s foreign
27585s all right so when i as soon as i got the
27587s nano um i just
27589s knew that this was my moment my heart
27591s was beating super fast i knew that i had
27593s to make a really really big play get all
27595s the kills as as much kills as i can and
27598s i knew that this was my moment and
27600s that's i had to take this and i did it
27603s and you honestly won that fight and won
27605s the match for houston outlaws
27608s that was crazy all right let's talk this
27611s was our last match let's talk about
27612s tomorrow you guys are going to be facing
27614s off against uh san francisco shock i
27616s believe and
27618s from i did my research i looked it up
27621s week two you guys went up against san
27622s francisco shock and the match score was
27625s three to one in favor of san francisco
27626s shock so this is time for your revenge
27630s anything you want to say to san
27631s francisco shock
27650s oh
27659s i feel like we made a lot of stupid
27661s mistake but uh this time around tomorrow
27663s we're gonna make it an easy 3-0 for the
27666s houston outlaws
27667s pelican thank you so much that's all we
27669s got here mr matt back to you
27673s i mean you know pelicans not wrong if we
27675s cast their minds back open uh
27679s i have no idea what the hell we just
27680s watched i mean
27682s it was just like
27683s i i mean
27684s but yeah we got to watch that i mean
27686s there's got to be a replay or something
27687s coming i mean that was just
27689s insane like
27692s you know you think back to like shoes
27693s batiste and eqo's blade
27696s like
27697s those are
27699s they were like sick moments right but it
27701s felt like it was like a very short it
27702s felt like he was alive on hanzo for like
27705s 35 seconds
27706s just killing everybody just didn't
27709s miss a shot i mean yeah i don't think
27710s we're you know using hyperbole when we
27712s talk about it it was like he had tack
27713s visor
27716s how huge that moment was
27718s let's talk about our player the match do
27719s you reckon it is yeah i know
27721s pelican is going to be taking it away in
27723s fact we hadn't slated for even before
27724s this happened and it was on the basis i
27726s think of his just consistency when it
27728s came to i mean it was the may first the
27730s tracer second i mean let's be real he
27732s could have done nothing the rest of the
27733s series and he would have won player of
27734s the match just left that sequence of
27736s play he was good the rest of the game
27738s though uh the versatility the may the
27741s echo i thought his tracer was uh really
27743s strong today
27744s but man
27746s so at the end just
27747s like you would just forget everything
27749s else that happened in the series which
27750s is so bonkers you look like
27754s one
27755s like and then he kills this guy it turns
27757s around
27759s that uh there's a soldier coming around
27761s that although that's why he's advisor at
27763s that
27766s who's this guy he's gonna die yep that
27768s guy's dead let's go top let's go kill
27770s another person shoot a dragon i mean
27773s so often they're justification to
27775s nanoboost your hanzo player when he
27777s starts doing this keeping pelican alive
27779s at all costs is absolutely critical
27782s 13 final blows means six deaths and
27784s again his dragon strike a crucial part
27786s of like the momentum stopper combined
27788s with the graviton surge the outlaws were
27790s comboing really effectively what an
27792s incredible moment from an incredible
27794s player
27795s there's a good chance
27797s that that's the craziest play we see all
27798s year like there's a there's a chance
27801s that like that play like i mean i just
27804s can't
27805s think of like anybody who could
27806s replicate something like that like just
27808s that moment and just him being able to
27811s turn up like that and here at this event
27813s like just
27814s just uh
27816s that's a that's a sick moment this year
27818s yeah i mean that's what we're going to
27819s be playing for a while really hoping to
27821s try and maintain my voice for the course
27822s of this tournament that one i might have
27824s might have done it in insane stuff here
27826s of course live from the uh esports
27828s stadium arlington we're gonna cross over
27829s to our friends though after this to
27831s break down the day that was with
27832s incredible moments uh just truly uh
27835s insane action here uh from this very
27837s place and some teams being sent home
27839s want to talk about their stories and
27840s sort of how those ended so stick around
27842s everybody watchpoint crew has got you

28107s show it's been an incredible day of
28111s overwatch
28112s and
28113s the results i'll just say that were
28115s unexpected for many people uh actually
28118s uh doing their pickings and we couldn't
28119s be happier to be wrong because we got
28121s treated to some
28123s insanely entertainment gameplay and some
28125s really really great pop-up moments from
28127s all the teams today so let's dive
28130s straight into the match between the
28131s houston outlaws and the toronto defined
28133s necra walk us through it what made the
28136s houston come out of top on top of this
28139s one
28141s honestly there were so many different
28142s things that i could point out that
28145s houston outlaws did to be able to
28147s achieve their goal of moving forward in
28150s the bracket but i think the biggest one
28151s that stands out to me is we got to see
28154s some piggy tank play and i was talking
28156s about this yesterday that i was really
28158s looking forward to seeing if piggy would
28161s you know step into the houston outlaws
28163s match and get some game time we didn't
28165s get a chance to see that but i felt like
28168s maybe houston outlaws were keeping him
28169s as a little bit of a secret weapon
28171s because the reinhardt play was fantastic
28175s and a piggy also just showed an
28177s incredible amount of flexibility but not
28180s only that i mean dante also found
28182s success during this match and i think a
28183s lot of that had to do with how well the
28186s team as a whole was playing
28187s synergistically i think dante yesterday
28190s fell a lot to
28192s just honest sleep darts biomates getting
28195s booped away and just really not being
28197s able to find the right value with the
28198s doomfist of the houston outlaws we're
28200s hoping for but really happy to see that
28202s dante was able to turn that around and
28204s the entire team as a whole had some
28207s incredible moments today
28211s yeah um i think this series was a very
28214s interesting watch because i think it
28215s started out sort of as we created this
28217s post one by the way pool spawning a
28219s different tracer
28221s obviously knew that aldo didn't have the
28223s recall available so can uh stick that
28226s well like lee jung tower okay we kind of
28228s expected 25 to probably get away with
28229s that i can baldi as i talked about just
28232s in thin well doomfist lucio moira it's
28234s pretty prone to in thin and it worked
28236s out for for the outlaws but then circuit
28238s royale
28239s i i don't i didn't quite agree with
28242s taking houston outlaws to circuit real
28244s because you know that piggy has a really
28246s good stigma as well to go with that and
28247s they played around us fantastically and
28249s then here colossio as well this is where
28251s i feel like the the houston outlaws kind
28253s of broke out of their shell a little bit
28255s pelican with this amazing god their play
28257s just like epic stuff from him and like
28259s matt said like that that play belongs uh
28262s among the kind of shoe batiste plays and
28265s eqo blades not quite on that same i
28267s don't know if i can match it with eqo's
28269s rialto blade but still it kind of
28270s belongs in that category of highlights
28273s right and um
28274s it was just a very impressive
28275s performance from me
28277s from houston outlaws not from me today
28280s um because i think that again like they
28282s broke out of their shell sometimes you
28283s know as an analyst i have to base it on
28285s past performances how they played so far
28287s this stage what compositions have they
28289s brought out um and so far like they had
28291s mostly committed to the doomfist
28292s compositions right they played
28294s aggressive they got figured out sorry i
28296s didn't look too good against paris but
28298s this past week from the houston outlaws
28299s they've improved massively the way
28301s they've committed to like lucio and
28303s moira compositions and just like well
28305s let's just go in like let's just commit
28306s to these doomfists down um dump the
28309s doomfist compositions and just just be
28311s aggressive because that's what we're
28312s best at and then as well on rialto being
28314s able to take that away from the toronto
28316s defiant i i think that this houston
28318s outlaws team i think they're better than
28319s we give them credit and in that respect
28320s i was wrong and i'm very impressed with
28322s what they've shown us
28324s absolutely and i mean it's great to see
28326s that they had so much more in their back
28328s pocket we were worried about maybe a
28330s lack of flexibility but it proved us
28332s wrong and and that is just fantastic
28335s exactly so uh speaking of wrong man
28341s let's take a look at our friends history
28343s in the making right here just take a
28345s look again and just like wow
28347s how misguided
28350s [Laughter]
28356s [Music]
28356s [Laughter]
28371s major super opposites like legitimately
28374s we knew atlanta had a chance we knew
28375s guys have a chance but shock and death
28377s were number one and number two seeds
28379s they were the favorites i
28380s unbelievable they legendary predictions
28383s you know
28384s i need to print that out like that goes
28386s into my golden crate
28388s i need that graphic just for reasons
28391s but but that's the thing right we we
28393s love that that's a possibility in the
28395s overwatch league those the top teams
28397s right now
28399s they're a lot closer than i think a lot
28401s of us have expected and that is
28403s fantastic like just because we don't
28405s prefer our team to win that doesn't mean
28407s that we think they're bad we just have
28409s to go as you said by the numbers by past
28412s performances that's really all we can do
28414s unless you're a hardcore fan see looking
28416s at you here for all the outboss fans all
28418s the outdoors
28420s they're committed and it works out every
28421s once in a while so i like that uh now
28424s obviously we had a lot of phenomenal
28426s games and that means that there are a
28428s lot of best of the days to pick from so
28430s let's dive into some of our highlights
28433s um i'm going to start this one off uh
28435s this one's ice cold uh i am of course
28438s looking at that may deflect from nero
28442s i that was just that was just beautiful
28444s i don't know that that did something for
28446s me
28447s so go back home
28449s snowball absolutely wonderfully played
28452s onto some snow
28455s you see it was there like a sound effect
28457s there like a poop
28458s is there a boob
28461s no boop sorry oh bring a small one
28465s poor little thing
28466s we have it from we enjoyed it so much
28468s that we have it like from three
28469s different angles
28471s here's a cinematic angle
28474s that one's just beautiful
28477s that looks so sad
28480s i think nobody's still smiling can you
28481s go
28482s i'll people oh oh yeah i hate you i hate
28485s to see it yeah to see unless you're on
28487s the other side that's what do you think
28488s genji like that's what he practiced for
28490s like in in his in his training yeah just
28493s like
28494s to buy snowball
28495s yeah they just have like snowballs
28496s thrown at him and he's like that that
28499s that's that's the practice range uh yeah
28501s why not uh jonathan so you were calling
28504s out for a best of the day about every
28506s five minutes yeah which one there were
28507s so many there were so many no one uh
28511s well i mean no one got the pelican play
28512s the last pelican play that was
28514s absolutely a best of the day but we're
28516s like we were just so many we can't hold
28518s them all they're just too many best of
28520s the days what do you do i got a i've got
28521s a fearless um
28523s juggle uh primal rage on gibraltar it
28526s was just good to see fearless back in
28527s the lineup because obviously han bin's
28529s got most of the playtime so far this
28530s stage and just seeing here him doing
28533s 180s with the primal here juggling the
28535s honor 180 primal the breakaway 180 get
28538s the honor primal like that's crazy
28541s like that's legitimately just one eating
28544s to hit multiple people with like single
28546s strikes um he's ludicrous
28548s i love it i love her
28552s do you want to read it out for us zoe i
28554s can't i don't think i have the dignity
28557s familiar feelings is that even a word
28559s yeah
28560s is it physical that's a real
28568s [Laughter]
28575s moving on to a brighter uh
28578s things and and happier things necro what
28580s what made you giggle what gave you joy
28582s today
28584s well it's funny that you mention happier
28586s things because i'm thinking about happy
28590s on the washington justice of course and
28592s i know we had a little bit of hope after
28594s their match yesterday but how could you
28596s not after you see this
28600s bang
28602s like what the out of nowhere why
28606s why is he so good at hitting tracers in
28608s the head like this is not the first time
28611s that we have seen happy pop off i mean
28613s you've got to remember and call out the
28615s pre-tweet that we had where happy was
28618s getting juggled around and still managed
28620s to headshot a tracer so
28623s just got to call it out that is not
28625s normally
28626s everything
28627s check the pc or
28629s check pc sure
28631s actually never mind i mean they're out
28632s so don't bother
28634s they're going off
28636s just for good measure why not but that
28638s was that was an absolute insane play
28640s though like it's actually incredible how
28642s he hits those flick shots and it
28644s actually makes it a hedgehog unreal
28646s unreal performance so uh yeah kudos too
28648s happy and everyone else who put up such
28650s a show such a clinic for us whether they
28653s win or they lost i think everyone had a
28655s moment in the spotlight and we
28657s appreciate that now we do of course have
28659s more games to come over the next two
28661s days so let's take a look at schedule to
28663s see what we got in store for you
28665s tomorrow of course we're gonna kick
28667s things off once again with the aipac
28668s region over in the east we're gonna see
28671s the seoul dynasty take on the hangzhou
28674s spark and then afterwards it's gonna be
28676s the philadelphia fusion going up against
28678s the shanghai dragons i
28682s i mean honestly having either of those
28684s matches can go either way because none
28686s of those teams have really dropped the
28687s ball at all in their first match oh yeah
28690s you're absolutely right um i think that
28692s any of these four teams could win their
28694s respective matches um standoff players
28696s of course like alfie for dangerous
28697s sparks profit seoul dynasty cis from the
28700s philadelphia fusion and lip from the
28701s shanghai dragons like they all have like
28702s legitimate superstars in their lineups
28705s that you just turn up any day and win
28707s matches for them so the eastern region
28709s if you're not watching like you're
28710s missing out the eastern region right now
28713s is super competitive and very high level
28715s absolutely and i mean if you are in fact
28718s really not watching first of all shame
28720s on you but also don't you worry about it
28722s because we got you we got to summarize
28724s those games and show you the highlights
28725s tomorrow morning but first we're going
28728s to take a look here at the western
28729s region we got some more games coming at
28731s you tomorrow the florida mayhem will
28733s take on the dallas fuel in our lower
28736s bracket so one of those teams will be
28737s out then afterwards the outlaws will go
28740s up against the san francisco shock
28744s the atlanta reign taking on the
28746s gladiators and the last one will be uh
28749s determined later that day of course
28751s atlanta and gladiators that is a
28753s semi-final match so uh one of them will
28756s move on to the finals but who will it be
28760s these games are incredible and at this
28762s point i don't even want to pick anything
28763s anymore because clearly which is wrong
28765s with everything
28766s no
28767s that's it that's my assessment of the
28769s test
28771s do you want to sell a bravery do you
28772s have any courage left any match
28775s uh
28776s about picking a favorite to win no no i
28780s don't but if i have one match that i
28782s really wanna keep an eye on it's gonna
28784s be florida mayhem versus the dallas fuel
28787s they haven't played each other yet and
28788s so i think that's going to be an
28790s incredibly good matchup to just see how
28792s those teams end up pairing up against
28794s each other and when teams haven't played
28797s each other yet in the kickoff clash it's
28798s led to some really interesting things so
28801s it's gonna be kicking off tomorrow with
28803s a good start
28806s absolutely i couldn't agree more i think
28808s i think it's fantastic that we got to
28809s see so many different looks from teams
28811s uh to what we saw the last four weeks i
28814s feel like everyone that just threw
28816s something else out which we weren't
28817s aware that they were actually capable of
28819s and that's gonna make it so hard for all
28821s those teams to actually rock up in the
28823s next match tomorrow and really prepare
28825s against that because it's a short
28827s turnaround so let's see what they got
28828s for us and uh it's gonna be it's gonna
28831s be a fun time that's for sure you don't
28832s want to miss it now that's it from us
