371s | yeah anything telling yourself |
375s | i'm not sure if i should be offended |

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 |
1608s | [Music] |
1617s | [Music] |
1627s | [Music] |
1645s | so |
1652s | [Music] |
1655s | [Applause] |
1660s | [Music] |
1661s | [Applause] |
1665s | [Music] |
1705s | [Music] |
1731s | hello |
1735s | [Music] |
1753s | [Music] |
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] |

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 |

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] |

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] |

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 |

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 |

11177s | oh |

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 |
12685s | [Applause] |
12689s | [Music] |
12699s | oh |
12700s | [Music] |
12710s | oh |

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 |
14345s | the overwatch league |

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] |

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] |

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 |
21134s | the overwatch league |

21301s | [Music] |
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 |

21797s | and i just want to say i'm very proud of |
21799s | my players like i i just want it's a |
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 |
21813s | bisho |
21815s | zoe back to you |
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 |

25043s | [Music] |
25049s | [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 |

26394s | [Music] |
26412s | [Music] |
26451s | so |
26453s | [Music] |

26480s | so |

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 |

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 |

28086s | [Music] |
28105s | hello and welcome to the watchpoint post |
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 |
