| 895s | like one of the best weeks i've ever |
| 896s | watched of all time yeah it's it's been |
| 898s | good it's been a good week i know fusion |
| 900s | almost made it no no it's not right |
| 902s | regardless of future |
| 904s | this is so i mean |
| 907s | also monkey suits yeah |
| 910s | i do like that we brought out our uh you |
| 912s | know i think like our final form for |
| 914s | this final yeah yeah i don't know we |
| 916s | came together yeah we're looking snazzy |
| 918s | we just we thought about the onesies |
| 920s | again and then we were like no we should |
| 922s | we should be professional so we walk |
| 924s | whatever this is yeah i'm just a little |
| 926s | bummed that we all ordered our stuff at |
| 928s | the same time and mine is the only one |
| 930s | that didn't come with matching pants you |
| 931s | look incredibly professional though yeah |
| 933s | you do professional yeah i think i just |
| 935s | look shiny and look i have a pocket |
| 938s | there we go you can put your peanut |
| 939s | butter in there |
| 941s | where's my pizza and bananas okay they |
| 942s | took the peanut butter away from me guys |
| 944s | because this is the final saying we've |
| 945s | got to be professional because on our |
| 947s | final day only three teams remain from |
| 949s | the 12 that started with us the san |
| 951s | francisco shock the los angeles |
| 953s | gladiators and the atlanta reign are our |
| 955s | final teams fighting for the title we've |
| 957s | had an action-packed tournament so far |
| 959s | so let's take a look back at how it all |
| 961s | went down |
| 964s | then we had uh here we go look at this |
| 966s | look at all of our teams in the winner's |
| 968s | bracket and then each of them just |
| 969s | dropping one by one into the lowers |
| 971s | bracket but as we can see the grand |
| 973s | finals our one locked in team is this |
| 975s | san francisco shock and in order to find |
| 978s | out who is going to play against them we |
| 979s | have to take a trip to the losers |
| 981s | bracket where we saw atlanta rain beat |
| 983s | out philadelphia fusion yesterday |
| 986s | to find themselves in that loser's |
| 988s | bracket final atlanta rain taking on the |
| 991s | los angeles gladiators now the winner |
| 993s | there is going to be playing the shock |
| 995s | in our final match for the day now 12 |
| 998s | teams entered our first global event of |
| 999s | the year but of course only one can be |
| 1001s | crowned the champion of the overwatch |
| 1003s | league mid-season madness tournament but |
| 1005s | before we get into today's matches we |
| 1007s | received some messages from fans who |
| 1009s | felt sad that their players didn't |
| 1012s | receive any awards during yesterday's |
| 1014s | consolation prize segment and to them i |
| 1018s | say well then maybe the player should |
| 1019s | have played better but our producer |
| 1023s | true |
| 1027s | but anyways our producer says don't |
| 1028s | anger the fans awfully so it's time for |
| 1030s | another run of the watches |
| 1034s | now custo we've had a lot of great |
| 1036s | rivalries come to the forefront of this |
| 1039s | week the watchpoint set versus an |
| 1041s | invading pineapple army the seoul versus |
| 1044s | the dynasty but you have an award for |
| 1047s | another rivalry now who gets our first |
| 1049s | watching yeah i want to give uh give |
| 1051s | some credit to some people that have |
| 1053s | been spicing it up a little bit it's |
| 1054s | gonna go to the san francisco shock and |
| 1056s | the los angeles gladiators but we're |
| 1057s | gonna look at the tank players reiner |
| 1059s | and colluge it is the cutest rivalry |
| 1062s | that we have in this league because they |
| 1064s | like to act tough they like to be big |
| 1066s | men and stand close to each other some |
| 1068s | would say a little bit a little bit too |
| 1070s | close you know you're kind of like mma |
| 1072s | fighting but you know they're going |
| 1073s | toe-to-toe and i just i just think it's |
| 1075s | cute they have so much history together |
| 1077s | playing together playing against each |
| 1079s | other and now they're on the big stage |
| 1081s | facing off and ryan is just ready to go |
| 1083s | look at it he's taller he's taller yeah |
| 1084s | he's he's standing on his tippy toes oh |
| 1087s | oh oh oh oh oh |
| 1089s | that's a chat move yeah that's a chat |
| 1091s | cool is back down closer |
| 1095s | that that's why you know the san |
| 1096s | francisco shock are going to fail today |
| 1098s | because it's crazy |
| 1100s | credit to you by the way overly was like |
| 1102s | yeah fans weren't happy their teams |
| 1103s | didn't get awards and you give the first |
| 1105s | award to the show can't be glad i mean |
| 1107s | that is just |
| 1109s | great job by you coaster as overly said |
| 1111s | if you lost you lost you don't get any |
| 1113s | more awards you don't get a |
| 1114s | participation award we're in the |
| 1115s | overwatch league |
| 1117s | no more freebie trophies but reiner |
| 1119s | versus college has been awesome and it's |
| 1121s | very possible that we get to see the |
| 1122s | second half of that love story play out |
| 1124s | today |
| 1126s | and if you haven't seen it just take a |
| 1127s | second to check out both teams twitters |
| 1129s | for a deeper dive into this hostile |
| 1131s | bromance now reinforce you're up next |
| 1133s | who gets your watchy for the event |
| 1136s | so this week's award for best tournament |
| 1138s | goes to |
| 1140s | this tournament the mid-season madness |
| 1143s | great job everyone involved |
| 1146s | everything from the producers the |
| 1147s | organizers the commissioner of course |
| 1149s | the teams the players the developers |
| 1152s | everything's been so great this |
| 1154s | tournament the competitiveness the |
| 1156s | storylines the close matches i mean it |
| 1159s | feels like almost every game went to |
| 1161s | five maps because you know the three of |
| 1162s | us we don't really want to remember they |
| 1163s | were you know curious but there were so |
| 1165s | many close matches especially here on |
| 1167s | the night market the meta was amazing we |
| 1170s | have seen winston doomfist wrecking ball |
| 1173s | reinhardt we've seen it all |
| 1176s | roadhog we saw the roadhog mirror |
| 1177s | yesterday in the upper bracket finals i |
| 1179s | mean who would have thought that |
| 1180s | the maps inspired different kinds of |
| 1182s | metals i mean this has been the perfect |
| 1186s | tournament so far and i mean i i love as |
| 1188s | well that at the end of the day the the |
| 1191s | two teams who will or the three teams |
| 1192s | rider who will be competing today |
| 1194s | they'll be in the same room opposite |
| 1196s | each other and they'll be interacting |
| 1198s | with each other and talk trash to each |
| 1200s | other and |
| 1201s | this has been the perfect tournament so |
| 1202s | far i can't remember the last time we |
| 1204s | had a tournament this good from like a |
| 1206s | game play and storyline kind of |
| 1207s | perspective so you've truly been blessed |
| 1210s | hopefully uh |
| 1211s | maybe like summer showdown 2020 but |
| 1213s | maybe i'm even taking that out you know |
| 1215s | that wasn't even like a land that was |
| 1216s | all yeah it was all online there was |
| 1218s | some cool genji moment so if you don't |
| 1219s | like genji like hex then yeah maybe you |
| 1221s | don't like so much but this tournament |
| 1223s | was epic all in all yeah i feel very |
| 1226s | lucky and very spoiled that i got to |
| 1228s | join you guys for my first overwatch |
| 1230s | league tournament on the desk and it's |
| 1232s | such a banger especially just seeing the |
| 1234s | fusion really come out to play and just |
| 1236s | even though it's just gonna be so |
| 1237s | disappointing when this game man this |
| 1239s | tournament ends in a four row where one |
| 1240s | team sweeps the other one no no |
| 1243s | no no today has to be perfect everyone |
| 1245s | stick to the script okay |
| 1247s | close matches only now's not the time to |
| 1249s | uh to mess up all right no furrows no |
| 1252s | absolutely not no four o's make it a |
| 1254s | good series now gentlemen this is my |
| 1257s | first watches so i wanted this award to |
| 1260s | come from the heart now even though i've |
| 1262s | only been here for a week i can |
| 1265s | confidently say that shy wins my award |
| 1269s | the best player player i'd most like to |
| 1272s | ban oh hey okay now if i move from host |
| 1275s | to commissioner of the league overnight |
| 1277s | i would remove this man from the game |
| 1278s | after seeing what he did to the teams he |
| 1281s | was playing against this week the |
| 1282s | hangzhou spark was more like the hong |
| 1284s | joo shai this man was stomping on dreams |
| 1286s | without even breaking a sweat and quite |
| 1288s | frankly it scares me |
| 1291s | although the fusion were able to stop |
| 1293s | him in a squad from knocking them out |
| 1294s | earlier in the tournament it was still |
| 1296s | way too close for comfort so get him out |
| 1299s | of my league |
| 1301s | look at this man he's so talented oh |
| 1304s | good it's like the 2018 shanghai dragons |
| 1306s | all over again as i said johnny and to |
| 1308s | think the fusion robbed us of uh having |
| 1310s | getting to see him today yeah |
| 1312s | good one game on the fusion someone had |
| 1314s | to stop him |
| 1315s | someone had to stop him he was doing way |
| 1318s | too much i swear every single time shy |
| 1320s | was up i was shaking i was terrified and |
| 1324s | as soon as shy went down i'm like it's |
| 1325s | okay |
| 1326s | is shy in the room with us now |
| 1331s | it's okay |
| 1332s | shai is not here it's okay it's okay |
| 1333s | this is a safe space it's okay |
| 1335s | you could have you could have lied to me |
| 1336s | and say that he like book hopped on a |
| 1338s | flight and he was just it's shy |
| 1343s | i'd be very scared of that but that was |
| 1346s | our watches now earlier this week month |
| 1349s | year i don't know what it is time is a |
| 1350s | construct we told you all who we thought |
| 1353s | would win the entire tournament and for |
| 1355s | some of us that didn't work out so well |
| 1358s | i'm not naming names we're going to move |
| 1361s | on and i don't even want to talk about |
| 1362s | it but we're going to recall our shot |
| 1365s | and tell you who we think will win it |
| 1367s | all today right after this break so |
| 1368s | don't go anywhere is he here |

| 1539s | [Music] |
| 1552s | welcome back to watchpoint now while we |
| 1554s | were on break i got a message from sean |
| 1556s | the current overwatch league |
| 1557s | commissioner saying sorry shai is too |
| 1560s | powerful we can't get him out |
| 1562s | it sounds like they tried though it |
| 1564s | sounds like he tried to cut him and they |
| 1566s | couldn't they had to at least some |
| 1568s | effort had to be made so you know thanks |
| 1569s | for at least trying now listen all the |
| 1571s | way back on monday which was the first |
| 1573s | day of the tournament we told you all |
| 1575s | with absolute certainty who would take |
| 1577s | home the trophy |
| 1579s | and well |
| 1580s | someone changed the script while we |
| 1581s | weren't looking because my prediction |
| 1583s | didn't end up playing out so now it's |
| 1585s | time to recall our shots |
| 1589s | now i'm not perfect so i can be the |
| 1592s | first to say that i was wrong in my |
| 1594s | prediction that the fusion was going to |
| 1596s | win the entire tournament it's okay i |
| 1598s | understand what step is this i don't |
| 1599s | know i don't know how those counts steps |
| 1601s | in stage of grief or acceptance right |
| 1603s | now i think i'm like i'm almost to |
| 1605s | acceptance there's still a lot of anger |
| 1606s | bargaining |
| 1608s | pull out my wallet |
| 1610s | throw 20s at the screen fusion |
| 1616s | listen it was a lot of fun and the team |
| 1617s | had a great run but unfortunately i now |
| 1620s | understand what it means to be a fusion |
| 1621s | fan now that being said i'm calling it |
| 1624s | now the los angeles gladiators will win |
| 1627s | the mid-season madness tournament and |
| 1629s | why you ask because let's take a look at |
| 1631s | this really quick we have a graphic here |
| 1633s | because throughout this entire |
| 1635s | tournament |
| 1636s | they have never |
| 1638s | never |
| 1640s | beat my fusions and therefore they have |
| 1643s | my blessing look at this we have three |
| 1645s | o's three ones three o's but i just i |
| 1647s | don't see fusion up there yeah or london |
| 1651s | or london or london they did beat |
| 1653s | houston twice though |
| 1655s | houston had it coming |
| 1658s | and i mean listen also i've never been |
| 1660s | to atlanta |
| 1662s | and los angeles is far superior to san |
| 1664s | francisco in every single possible way |
| 1666s | and again that's why gladiators have my |
| 1669s | belief in them they're going to take it |
| 1671s | all for the title i believe it now |
| 1673s | johnny you had the unfortunate luck of |
| 1675s | believing in a team from the eastern |
| 1677s | region oh start the week off so who did |
| 1679s | you have are you swapping two now yeah |
| 1682s | avril it hasn't been great for us has it |
| 1684s | it's been tough avril |
| 1686s | but i tried look i really tried to |
| 1688s | commit to the eastern region you know i |
| 1690s | thought that shanghai they would get |
| 1692s | back into the group of things i thought |
| 1693s | they had it all figured out after coach |
| 1695s | moon came out in that interview and said |
| 1697s | we figured out the shot calling fate |
| 1699s | playing tank leads a gone in the lineup |
| 1702s | but fleta is not the met anymore and lip |
| 1705s | he just couldn't stand up against the |
| 1706s | western hitscan players it's been tough |
| 1709s | i say western is gonna place and then |
| 1710s | proper story but |
| 1712s | you know what i mean you know what i |
| 1714s | mean so instead |
| 1717s | i'm becoming a proper fan the san |
| 1719s | francisco shock |
| 1721s | i believe in you you are getting back to |
| 1724s | the winning ways |
| 1725s | today |
| 1727s | where you will be winning |
| 1728s | the mid-season madness tournament |
| 1731s | and proper is gonna be the main man for |
| 1733s | it you better believe we gotta talk |
| 1735s | about proper and if you think that |
| 1737s | kevster can stand against him look i'm |
| 1739s | swedish and i'm still saying that proper |
| 1741s | was far superior in yesterday's showdown |
| 1744s | between the two best teams and proper |
| 1746s | dominated him you can see as tracer |
| 1748s | yesterday per 10 minutes almost |
| 1751s | 1.6 100 no no no 1 600 more damage for |
| 1756s | 10 minutes 2.4 more final blows for 10 |
| 1758s | minutes he's just dominating like |
| 1761s | there's no question the proper is the |
| 1763s | best tracer in the world it's not even a |
| 1766s | conversation anymore who can you |
| 1767s | possibly like put against him kepster he |
| 1770s | didn't didn't live up to the tracer duel |
| 1773s | yesterday so i believe |
| 1774s | do we have the objective evidence in our |
| 1777s | pocket and i just read it out loud okay |
| 1780s | proper is once more going to dominate |
| 1782s | today he'll carry the san francisco |
| 1784s | shock to another stage title and it's |
| 1786s | going to be glorious i'm sorry about all |
| 1788s | the elite letters stuff going on here |
| 1789s | it's not happening |
| 1791s | did you just denounce your swedish |
| 1793s | heritage by saying that kevster is worse |
| 1795s | than proper |
| 1797s | uh no |
| 1798s | no i think you did i i don't think |
| 1800s | they're gonna let you back in anymore |
| 1801s | because kempster is |
| 1803s | one of the best players that we have yes |
| 1805s | proper might have won yesterday but |
| 1806s | thinking that that's just going to leave |
| 1808s | the shock over the line once again no no |
| 1810s | no no no no no show up he had his |
| 1811s | wheaties today kept is going to show up |
| 1813s | and it's not going to be close |
| 1815s | we don't have a wheaties in sweden all |
| 1816s | right |
| 1818s | maybe we do i don't know but i didn't |
| 1819s | have it all right |
| 1820s | he had his blueberries or something |
| 1822s | maybe he got him from snello i don't |
| 1823s | know |
| 1824s | i wanted to say i was trying you don't |
| 1825s | know what snellow is by the way he's a |
| 1826s | fusion former future player so you would |
| 1827s | love stella i love them but i did want |
| 1829s | to say that while i was trying my best |
| 1831s | to focus on what you were saying i have |
| 1833s | just been mesmerized by your suit jacket |
| 1836s | there are so many different colors |
| 1837s | patterns there's an elephant on there |
| 1839s | somewhere there is elephants there's |
| 1840s | flowers yeah i think there's like a |
| 1841s | camel i'm not sure but i'm sure what you |
| 1844s | said was pretty interesting but either |
| 1845s | way custa i suppose that we could give |
| 1847s | you some time |
| 1848s | since you know you would uh |
| 1850s | sure you're gonna happily do because you |
| 1852s | picked the la gladiators to win the |
| 1854s | entire mid-season madness tournament and |
| 1856s | are you sticking with your guns or are |
| 1858s | you gonna swap sides of course i'm |
| 1859s | sticking with my guns the los angeles |
| 1860s | gladius i call it ages ago this san |
| 1863s | francisco shock in the upper bracket |
| 1864s | that was just a fork in the road you |
| 1866s | know they decided hey let's have a cool |
| 1868s | low bracket run let's let's beat down |
| 1870s | the atlanta rain prove to them who's |
| 1872s | boss and then we'll come back and |
| 1874s | actually try against the shock this time |
| 1876s | you know yes proper did get the better |
| 1878s | of cancer yes propper is an incredible |
| 1880s | player probably the best player in the |
| 1881s | world but the gladiators don't need the |
| 1883s | individual best player in the world they |
| 1885s | have the best team in the world and they |
| 1887s | have the flexibility to do it funny |
| 1889s | astro coming in to play this lucio the |
| 1891s | san francisco shock did not have a |
| 1893s | consistent answer against it paddy pan |
| 1895s | has been stepping up on that sojourn the |
| 1898s | one adjustment that i want to see from |
| 1899s | the gladiators in this match is going to |
| 1902s | be rhino i think reiner was punished |
| 1904s | heavily by the san francisco shock |
| 1905s | backline and he was just dying too much |
| 1907s | but ryan is a smart guy you could tell |
| 1909s | he didn't back down in that bromance off |
| 1912s | he stayed forward and he's going to do |
| 1913s | that again today i want to see him make |
| 1916s | some adjustments come back in learn |
| 1917s | their lessons and take down the san |
| 1919s | francisco shock because as obviously |
| 1922s | said los angeles is a better city than |
| 1923s | san francisco 100 |
| 1926s | let's go baby |
| 1927s | all right now well we've called our |
| 1929s | shots and you should call your friends |

| 2140s | [Music] |
| 2211s | welcome back to watchpoint in just a few |
| 2214s | moments the atlanta reign will face off |
| 2215s | against the los angeles gladiators in |
| 2217s | the loser bracket final the reign have |
| 2220s | made a hell of a run through the lower |
| 2222s | bracket and look to continue rolling |
| 2224s | over all the teams on the way to the |
| 2225s | title however standing in their way are |
| 2228s | the formidable los angeles gladiators |
| 2230s | who have beaten the reign |
| 2231s | 3-0 both times these teams have faced |
| 2234s | off this year now reinforced we've |
| 2236s | talked about these teams at length but |
| 2239s | today's game is do or die so what |
| 2242s | matchup should we keep our eye on |
| 2244s | i don't think it's any surprise that i'm |
| 2246s | going to keep my eyes on the sojourn |
| 2248s | matchup and i get what people are saying |
| 2250s | you always talk about the surgeons you |
| 2252s | always talk about the hit scan and i get |
| 2254s | that but this is a carry meta okay in so |
| 2257s | many different metas we've been able to |
| 2259s | justify talking about the tanks the |
| 2261s | backline and how important they are and |
| 2262s | they remain important today but the |
| 2264s | sojourns need to step up if you want to |
| 2266s | find yourself with an advantage so far |
| 2268s | kai has not been as good as polyp on |
| 2270s | this tournament you can see paraffani |
| 2272s | leads an air damage final blows and |
| 2273s | railgun kills per 10 minutes but kai |
| 2276s | he's pretty efficient when it comes to |
| 2278s | the overclocking getting value from that |
| 2279s | ultimate so |
| 2281s | i still want kaido to step up just one |
| 2284s | more level he does tend to hang back a |
| 2286s | little bit and he is so good at getting |
| 2288s | value from that ultimate when he decides |
| 2290s | to go in with his overclock but |
| 2292s | if you want to compare kai's performance |
| 2294s | this tournament to the likes of i don't |
| 2296s | know shy |
| 2297s | then i do believe that kai could step up |
| 2299s | another level and i do think that that |
| 2301s | could help the atlanta reign in finding |
| 2303s | an advantage against the gladiators when |
| 2305s | we talk about the gladiators they have |
| 2306s | so many parts of their teams that are |
| 2308s | elite whereas the backline or the tank |
| 2310s | line or kepster for that matter that at |
| 2312s | some point atlanta rain they need to |
| 2313s | find an advantage somewhere so i'm |
| 2315s | hoping that kai really shows up today |
| 2317s | because he could be an absolute |
| 2318s | difference maker with how good sojourn |
| 2320s | is in this current meta there are so |
| 2322s | many other good parts of the atlanta |
| 2324s | rain but kai i feel like you have to |
| 2326s | talk about him when you discuss the |
| 2327s | atlanta reign going into a lower bracket |
| 2329s | final yeah absolutely i i and that's the |
| 2331s | thing like kai we know how talented he |
| 2333s | is and he has had some crazy high peaks |
| 2336s | if he can hit that peak it could be a |
| 2337s | problem for the gladius because we |
| 2338s | haven't really seen that level from |
| 2340s | patty pan patty pan's been good but i |
| 2342s | don't think we've ever seen him have |
| 2343s | that performance where it's just like |
| 2344s | he's on another level kai has been there |
| 2346s | and if he can get there it'll be a |
| 2348s | problem we have seen the trash talk |
| 2350s | performance come out of paddy though |
| 2351s | that's true which is impressive that |
| 2353s | absolutely impressive now the damage |
| 2355s | dealers have absolute carry potential in |
| 2357s | this tournament sojourn especially so |
| 2359s | that's a good shout now overlooked as |
| 2361s | always is the support line now both |
| 2365s | these squads have great players but we |
| 2366s | haven't really called out any other |
| 2368s | names so far scott yeah well as johnny |
| 2370s | said this is a very heavily a dps meta |
| 2372s | like that is really where the difference |
| 2374s | makers are coming in but the back line |
| 2376s | they are obviously putting in work and |
| 2377s | we just don't notice it as much but i |
| 2379s | want to highlight these two incredible |
| 2381s | flex supports that we have in the league |
| 2382s | we got ultraviolet the rookie coming in |
| 2385s | and he has been incredible his 180 |
| 2387s | sleeps just seemed to come out of |
| 2388s | nowhere but he's going up against the |
| 2390s | veteran shoe who is one of the most |
| 2392s | bloodthirsty supports that we have in |
| 2394s | this league just look at the difference |
| 2396s | of damage that shoe does he does 1300 |
| 2399s | just about 1200 damage more than |
| 2401s | ultraviolet ultraviolet does do more |
| 2403s | healing gets more defensive assists but |
| 2405s | shu is just putting out that work and |
| 2407s | those those moments can be the |
| 2409s | difference makers for these teams |
| 2410s | especially when you're throwing in those |
| 2411s | biotic nades both of these players are |
| 2413s | incredible at that in a doomfist matter |
| 2415s | in a wrecking ball medic being able to |
| 2417s | get those biotic nades on the opposition |
| 2419s | tanks not allow them to be healed can be |
| 2422s | a big moment for them especially if for |
| 2424s | whatever reason we end up in a roadhog |
| 2426s | mirror you need to have that value so |
| 2428s | i'm looking at both of these guys to |
| 2429s | really find their legs and really step |
| 2432s | up ultraviolet has been incredible |
| 2433s | through this long bracket run but shu |
| 2435s | has always been on that difference level |
| 2437s | so i want to see these two go head to |
| 2438s | head once again today i also think it's |
| 2441s | worth mentioning that well that |
| 2443s | ultraviolet has had a fantastic |
| 2444s | tournament so far like if you look back |
| 2446s | at atlanta reigns matches in the lower |
| 2448s | bracket a large percentage of their team |
| 2451s | fight wins or actually on the back of |
| 2453s | ultraviolet getting really good sleep |
| 2454s | darts getting really biotic grenades so |
| 2457s | i think across the board you can notice |
| 2458s | that atlanta rain they like to slow |
| 2460s | things down that's in part why |
| 2462s | ultraviolet has more healing done than |
| 2464s | dabbage down because they slow things |
| 2465s | down they build up the nanos etc and it |
| 2467s | also allows him to regenerate the |
| 2469s | cooldown of pirate grenade and sleep |
| 2470s | darts so that is a win condition for the |
| 2472s | atlanta rain they like to play slow but |
| 2474s | that also gives more time for |
| 2475s | ultraviolet to find value with his own |
| 2476s | abilities absolutely now those are the |
| 2479s | important matchups to watch as the match |
| 2480s | starts but if these teams switch up |
| 2482s | their styles and adapt early on what is |
| 2485s | the major factor to look for acosta yeah |
| 2488s | and that's the really interesting thing |
| 2489s | between these two teams the gladiators |
| 2491s | we always praise them for being |
| 2492s | incredibly flexible they can play other |
| 2494s | compositions they haven't as much in |
| 2495s | this tournament but the ability to adapt |
| 2498s | is there while for the atlanta reign |
| 2499s | they have stayed pretty pigeonholed so |
| 2501s | far throughout this tournament playing |
| 2503s | the one thing and we haven't really seen |
| 2504s | many other great looks from them here is |
| 2506s | the atlanta reigns hero usage just in |
| 2508s | this tournament here as you can tell kai |
| 2510s | on that sojourn venom on that tracer is |
| 2512s | a staple for them they've had og playing |
| 2514s | a lot of that zenyatta ultraviolet on |
| 2516s | the ana and hawk on that doomfist that |
| 2518s | is the general five heroes they like to |
| 2520s | play and play across many maps they do |
| 2522s | pull out the lucio to play a little bit |
| 2524s | more fast if they need to or the sigma |
| 2526s | baptiste on maps like king's row where |
| 2529s | they feel like they can play a little |
| 2530s | bit more defensive so i kind of want to |
| 2532s | see the gladiators if you can force the |
| 2534s | atlanta reign to be uncomfortable if you |
| 2536s | can force |
| 2537s | hawke to feel like he needs to play |
| 2538s | winston or play reinhardt these main |
| 2540s | tank heroes that he's not as comfortable |
| 2542s | on then i think that will be a big boon |
| 2544s | for them so i'm curious to see if the |
| 2546s | gladiators are just going to try and |
| 2547s | take this dive mirror or try and do |
| 2549s | something that might tilt the atlanta |
| 2551s | reign off guard yeah i also think that |
| 2553s | we've seen several teams this tournament |
| 2555s | when it's not working playing slow with |
| 2557s | the zenyatta and diana as your backline |
| 2559s | maybe picking lucio could be an option |
| 2562s | to speed up the game and try to just |
| 2564s | make like a last ditch effort |
| 2566s | strategically to throw your opponent off |
| 2568s | guard now we know that the alligators |
| 2570s | they're really good at adapting to that |
| 2571s | very fast style but og he's a fantastic |
| 2574s | lucio and maybe that is a better win |
| 2576s | condition for the atlanta rain rather |
| 2578s | than relying on og zenyatta for example |
| 2580s | against the backline like skewed with |
| 2582s | shoe i mean that is an elite level |
| 2585s | backline from the l.a gladiators so |
| 2587s | maybe atlanta rain maybe speed things up |
| 2589s | maybe kai who mentioned in interviews |
| 2591s | that he doesn't like to use the slide |
| 2592s | ability he'd rather save it maybe just |
| 2594s | push in a little bit more aggressively |
| 2596s | and maybe that opens up the game for the |
| 2597s | atlanta rain to win this upset in my |
| 2599s | opinion we're gonna have to see if that |
| 2601s | aggression comes through but uh let's |
| 2603s | see if this gets us a little aggressive |
| 2605s | let's pull up our predictions and i |
| 2607s | think we've already been pretty clear |
| 2609s | about who we think is going to win today |
| 2611s | with our earlier stuff let's go ahead |
| 2612s | and take a look at our gamble |
| 2615s | yeah there we go it's pretty straight |
| 2616s | forward |
| 2617s | i think atlanta they have had a great |
| 2619s | low bracket run but the gladiators in |
| 2620s | the san francisco shock they seem to be |
| 2622s | on a different level yeah you know |
| 2624s | atlanta's taking out the entire east |
| 2625s | region they could take out the |
| 2627s | gladiators in another upset we could see |
| 2629s | but i think the safe bet is the |
| 2630s | gladiators and i also will say i |
| 2632s | mentioned it yesterday but i'll say it |
| 2634s | again the atlanta reign everybody |
| 2636s | counted them out against the dallas fuel |
| 2638s | in last year's season playoffs and they |
| 2641s | ended up upsetting the dallas fuel in |
| 2642s | the lower bracket final turned |
| 2644s | themselves a slot in the finals the |
| 2646s | atlanta train they are experts at |
| 2648s | upsetting teams in the lower bracket and |
| 2650s | they can do it once more here against |
| 2651s | the gladiators again yep atlanta rain |
| 2653s | this is your opportunity make your own |
| 2654s | cinderella story no one here at the desk |
| 2656s | sided with you but this is your |
| 2658s | opportunity to show everyone here up uh |
| 2662s | now that is it for watchpoint everyone |
| 2664s | the final day of the mid-season madness |
| 2666s | tournament starts right now let's go |
| 2670s | [Applause] |
| 2680s | [Music] |
| 2698s | [Music] |
| 2701s | what the hell did i just |
| 2703s | witness uh pardon all right looks like |
| 2705s | pork's back on the menu boys |
| 2707s | killed two and he jumps at sights three |
| 2714s | it's a double pulse a double pulse in |
| 2716s | overtime |
| 2722s | [Music] |
| 2724s | where did that come from |
| 2726s | [Music] |
| 2736s | twelve seasons but uh twelve teams right |
| 2739s | there i mean twelve seasons i feel like |
| 2741s | it feels like it's been that long with |
| 2742s | the way we've seen the league evolve but |
| 2744s | you know what's exciting right now is |
| 2746s | that we have a mid-season madness top |
| 2748s | three that's dominated by one region |
| 2750s | that's quite astonishing considering |
| 2752s | that 12 teams began their campaigns here |
| 2755s | some in hawaii some elsewhere none of |
| 2758s | our eastern region teams are remaining |
| 2760s | and many of them fell at the hands of |
| 2761s | one of our teams going up against the |
| 2763s | gladiators today it's gonna be the |
| 2764s | atlanta rain versus los angeles here |
| 2768s | incredible matchup and we know what the |
| 2770s | rain are like in these lower finals |
| 2772s | uh just three really interesting and |
| 2774s | great stories going into our final day |
| 2776s | today right the shop we were worried |
| 2778s | about like how they perform in |
| 2779s | tournaments right uh they've been so |
| 2781s | great during the regular season well |
| 2782s | they've delivered here right uh sitting |
| 2784s | in the grand finals already the |
| 2786s | gladiators could they have a repeat you |
| 2787s | know of the kickoff clash they played |
| 2789s | well and i think the atlanta rain uh |
| 2792s | we've been talking i feel like we've |
| 2793s | cast a lot of atlanta rain throughout |
| 2795s | you know the mid-season menace and like |
| 2796s | we've talked about how this team where |
| 2798s | some teams kind of with the spotlight |
| 2800s | they don't play as well maybe they get a |
| 2802s | little nervous it seems like this team |
| 2803s | consistently rises to the occasion in |
| 2806s | the biggest moments i think uh you know |
| 2808s | hawk and i think it was gator he kind of |
| 2809s | made a joke about it but like he's like |
| 2811s | oh well we'll win the games that there's |
| 2812s | money on the line it's like well you |
| 2814s | know that does make an impact on some |
| 2816s | people right and |
| 2817s | uh i get why nobody picked them on the |
| 2820s | desk today but i don't know man it's |
| 2823s | tough to go against him they've been on |
| 2824s | such a run we can take a look at their |
| 2826s | starting lineup and they've played so |
| 2828s | many games that this team is just like a |
| 2831s | well-oiled machine at this point right |
| 2833s | uh they're welcome well conditioned to |
| 2835s | the room who's sitting where uh they've |
| 2838s | gotten so many matches different times a |
| 2840s | day uh the travel not an issue right uh |
| 2844s | i i think there's a there's a realistic |
| 2846s | chance no |
| 2848s | who knows what happens in a game against |
| 2850s | the shock right but i think this game |
| 2851s | for me is a little bit more of a toss-up |
| 2853s | than a clear cut |
| 2855s | yeah and look uh this isn't the first |
| 2857s | time that the atlanta reign have been |
| 2859s | underrated by many people coming into a |
| 2861s | matchup like this and we can't |
| 2862s | understand why we'll have a chance to |
| 2864s | dig a little deeper into that in just a |
| 2866s | moment but you're right these guys have |
| 2868s | had to play maximum overwatch 3-2 |
| 2870s | against the seoul dynasty in the lower |
| 2872s | bracket 3-1 against the outlaws 3-1 |
| 2874s | against the shanghai dragons 3-1 against |
| 2877s | the philadelphia fusion that three apac |
| 2879s | teams of course they've dispatched and |
| 2880s | in so many of those match-ups they were |
| 2883s | underrated as well this team is getting |
| 2885s | used to it and they look like they're |
| 2887s | comfortable in these conditions let's |
| 2888s | not forget ty and hawke two of the |
| 2891s | players from last year's atlanta rain |
| 2892s | squad who made frequent trips to hawaii |
| 2895s | dealt with the travel conditions |
| 2897s | dealt with the precious situations in |
| 2898s | games like this this team is made for |
| 2901s | matches like this |
| 2902s | yeah and i think the death talked about |
| 2904s | it you know maybe kai has an explosive |
| 2906s | game today we can talk about the |
| 2907s | gladiators starting lineup uh nothing |
| 2910s | too surprising here you know funny astro |
| 2912s | in so expect to see some lucio here in |
| 2915s | map number one |
| 2916s | uh but we know what we're gonna get to |
| 2918s | get with this team at this point i know |
| 2920s | panapan plays a really good sojourn has |
| 2923s | a lot of other heroes in his pool uh |
| 2925s | kepster on the tracer i think kepster |
| 2926s | versus venom is going to be an |
| 2928s | interesting match up uh now if those two |
| 2930s | players can kind of play a little bit |
| 2932s | equal to each other this series could |
| 2934s | come down to those sojourn players and |
| 2936s | uh you know the deaths talked about like |
| 2938s | kai hasn't had the greatest performances |
| 2939s | so far you know he's had some really |
| 2940s | clutch moments like last night |
| 2942s | uh but you feel like one of these |
| 2944s | players is kind of due for a big game at |
| 2946s | this point right |
| 2948s | absolutely think about who venomous had |
| 2951s | to go head to head with on the tracer |
| 2952s | role in their run so far names like |
| 2954s | zester in there fletcher is in there |
| 2956s | profit got dipped by him in that in that |
| 2958s | first lower bracket match-up that's a |
| 2960s | big deal this guy |
| 2962s | you know comes into this season with |
| 2964s | high expectations from contenders but a |
| 2965s | lot of people expecting to see him show |
| 2967s | his stuff and he's peaking at just the |
| 2969s | right time i love some of the the |
| 2972s | head-to-heads that our desk is sort of |
| 2973s | highlighted right because obviously shu |
| 2975s | and ultraviolet is definitely one to be |
| 2977s | watching two teams with honors that have |
| 2978s | impressed us but shu is tenured he's |
| 2981s | been around for a heck of a long time |
| 2983s | and he you know i mean he was called the |
| 2985s | shoe shoe train for a reason right he |
| 2986s | came out of the woodwork on the |
| 2987s | guangzhou charge initially back in 2019 |
| 2990s | and really blew our minds this is the |
| 2992s | kind of player that will stand the test |
| 2994s | of time and continue to show dominance |
| 2996s | in his role the first map in this series |
| 2999s | will be elios |
| 3001s | yeah and it'll be a uh la gladiators map |
| 3004s | pick |
| 3005s | uh i think i saw something ready last |
| 3007s | night you just kind of think about how |
| 3008s | many |
| 3009s | like first second year players there are |
| 3012s | in the three teams left |
| 3015s | right i mean you look like you know kai |
| 3017s | and hawk and like a gator right on |
| 3019s | atlanta like they're kind of veterans |
| 3021s | but they've only been in the league for |
| 3022s | two three years max right and then i |
| 3025s | know on the other side the gladiator is |
| 3027s | really kind of full of i know some young |
| 3030s | players some veterans kind of coming in |
| 3032s | it's uh |
| 3033s | shocked like really like an all-rookie |
| 3034s | team like it feels like a little bit of |
| 3036s | a |
| 3036s | i know changing of a guard right where |
| 3039s | in the past i think like the apac region |
| 3041s | has always been really strong in the |
| 3043s | east uh it feels like the west now is |
| 3045s | starting to level up a little bit more |
| 3047s | as uh looks like both teams gonna start |
| 3049s | things out here with a lucio in the mix |
| 3051s | uh and i think it's gonna be pretty much |
| 3053s | mere compositions coming out yeah |
| 3056s | and so it is we know that you know the |
| 3058s | reign of playing sojourn a lot of the |
| 3060s | time it's one of their most go-to picks |
| 3062s | here even though kai is so |
| 3063s | multi-talented across the hitscan role |
| 3066s | nice to see your match up here now i can |
| 3068s | evaluate some of these roles in their |
| 3069s | head to head it's going to be kept |
| 3071s | who tries to assert himself a little |
| 3072s | early on now |
| 3074s | i mean causing hawke to have to snap his |
| 3075s | head around and try and keep tabs on his |
| 3077s | tracer kai as a result now has |
| 3079s | relatively safe sidelines i'll be kind |
| 3081s | of hard to find these foes catch the |
| 3083s | strikes first |
| 3084s | uh well they do trade doomfist on both |
| 3086s | sides and atlanta pushes on forward as |
| 3089s | ogu takes out funny astro and |
| 3092s | atlanta oh look like they're gonna be |
| 3094s | able to get the point first yeah they do |
| 3095s | is someone just goes right over the top |
| 3097s | so the atlanta rain able to take the |
| 3100s | point first on the side when you know we |
| 3102s | were launching from kai's pov but on the |
| 3104s | other side of the point uh that's where |
| 3106s | they actually got a i believe it was |
| 3108s | like a stun where hawk and reiner maybe |
| 3110s | collided and they were able to burn hawk |
| 3112s | down so fast but now kai from the side |
| 3114s | got a nice shot on the rhino and then |
| 3116s | even the odds |
| 3119s | big task on his hands today he's he |
| 3121s | would decide to be slams he tries to |
| 3122s | turn around he's fortunate to get away |
| 3124s | ultraviolet pump begin with those heels |
| 3126s | and so he survives and develops a pulse |
| 3128s | bomb now for the new feast it was |
| 3130s | intended and somehow rhino's going to be |
| 3132s | able to get far enough away from that |
| 3133s | there was no stick hawk wants to dive in |
| 3135s | here but it's a pulse from kempster and |
| 3137s | there it is big difference making here |
| 3139s | on the tracer so far but the rest of the |
| 3140s | rain are keeping the gladiators quiet |
| 3142s | here man a hawk gets patty right before |
| 3144s | he gets taken out though and that is |
| 3146s | huge you lose the sojourn there's so |
| 3148s | much free damage to be had by the long |
| 3150s | range hit scan over the middle of this |
| 3152s | point |
| 3153s | that kai is able to pick up some extra |
| 3154s | damage a kill in the time being and |
| 3157s | that'll stop the gladiators push so |
| 3159s | atlanta gonna get above halfway it's |
| 3162s | taking this round is uh we'll see what |
| 3163s | they decide to do with this nano maybe |
| 3165s | he's gonna send it on a rhino as he goes |
| 3167s | in |
| 3167s | slow start so far for the glass but it |
| 3169s | really is about how you finish |
| 3171s | rhino looking for elimination there he |
| 3173s | finally found ultraviolet and kepster |
| 3174s | once again chimes in og is fell |
| 3177s | kai's got a pretty safe position here |
| 3179s | and the gladiators haven't quite taken |
| 3181s | the point yet and 72 percent is a pretty |
| 3183s | rich lead for the reign early on |
| 3185s | yeah kai used that overclocking |
| 3187s | absolutely nothing |
| 3189s | trying with maybe the disruptive shot to |
| 3191s | force some players into his line of |
| 3193s | sight but not able to do so |
| 3195s | but the atlanta rain come back here |
| 3196s | mitch you know they hold on to their |
| 3198s | sound barrier they have a nano during |
| 3199s | that fight and they realize it's kind of |
| 3200s | lost early so they decide to hold on to |
| 3202s | it uh you have enough ultimates to just |
| 3205s | kind of run this back pretty fast and |
| 3207s | take over and oh that's going to be |
| 3208s | penny with a nice shot on the og though |
| 3210s | arranged |
| 3211s | just getting caught out in the open and |
| 3212s | yet hawk still wants to be aggressive it |
| 3214s | looks like shoe is playing quite far |
| 3216s | forward and yet the call comes a little |
| 3218s | late to get on out it's too late though |
| 3220s | as arena caught on the back foot and |
| 3221s | they're devoured by the glads oh that's |
| 3224s | a huge fight win for the gladiators i |
| 3225s | was talking about |
| 3227s | that advantage that atlanta's had and |
| 3228s | where they were so patient holding on to |
| 3230s | some of these ultimates and they come |
| 3231s | into that when they end up using the |
| 3232s | meteor strike in the nano boost and they |
| 3234s | lose og straight away and look at how |
| 3236s | the tides turn the gladiators now sit |
| 3238s | with four ultimates coming into this |
| 3239s | next fight they're going to get above 50 |
| 3241s | percent |
| 3242s | atlanta they may have to take some |
| 3243s | fights early they may also just ah the |
| 3245s | skipster wins a 1v1 there against venom |
| 3248s | this is going to put him in a terrible |
| 3249s | position to get another good fight |
| 3251s | listen so far it's been clear to see |
| 3253s | despite the gladiators early struggles |
| 3255s | kepster has been the stronger tracer in |
| 3257s | terms of impact thus far |
| 3259s | and he's yet another pulse bomb ready to |
| 3261s | go |
| 3262s | his previous one a big connection on |
| 3264s | hawk |
| 3266s | and hawk will keep him honest there to |
| 3267s | make sure capture doesn't run rough shot |
| 3269s | over this part of the map jesse will be |
| 3271s | searching he's found ultraviolet it's |
| 3272s | going to be a sound barrier toward the |
| 3273s | tracer off early here but eventually |
| 3275s | that will expire and kept sir will make |
| 3278s | the stick that is a heat and a half what |
| 3280s | a connection on ultraviolet man didn't |
| 3282s | know what hit him that chance to need to |
| 3284s | complete the getaway plan but look at |
| 3286s | the back up venom runs straight into him |
| 3288s | here and the gladiators are getting away |
| 3289s | with absolute bloody murder |
| 3292s | hey yes they're gonna nano capture as |
| 3293s | they send pretty much everybody to the |
| 3296s | spawn door of the atlanta range of |
| 3297s | stopping them from getting towards the |
| 3298s | point it looks like hawk trying to get |
| 3300s | there oh gee not gonna make it and it's |
| 3303s | the gladiators |
| 3304s | bouncing back after atlanta got off to a |
| 3307s | good start really dominant the second |
| 3309s | half of that point |
| 3311s | what an absolute haymaker of a round |
| 3314s | kevster |
| 3315s | eight final blows zero deaths patapan is |
| 3318s | six and two right now whereas the rain |
| 3320s | only have nine final blows for the |
| 3321s | entire team and one of them is credited |
| 3323s | to venom the dps or the gladiators here |
| 3326s | are making their mark early |
| 3330s | let's see from cancer's pov you don't |
| 3332s | pulsate oh |
| 3334s | it's just |
| 3335s | yeah like |
| 3337s | obviously that slowed down a ton |
| 3340s | you know he probably kills it i'm in |
| 3341s | enough chance where like venom doesn't |
| 3343s | even have an opportunity has no idea |
| 3345s | yeah there's a one clip on an enemy |
| 3346s | tracer basically that's |
| 3348s | that's wrong |
| 3349s | all right |
| 3350s | well is up next |
| 3352s | and gladiators they're gonna play really |
| 3354s | fast here uh you're gonna have reiner on |
| 3356s | the winston now tracer genji is the dps |
| 3359s | combo |
| 3361s | is i think when you know you see them |
| 3363s | last round pushing all the way up to |
| 3365s | atlanta's spawn door really giving them |
| 3367s | problems say hey maybe we can up the |
| 3368s | pace even more |
| 3370s | this is the kickoff clash throwback |
| 3372s | actually uh i think we first saw the |
| 3373s | shock playing this cop sam's daviola |
| 3376s | genji |
| 3377s | gladiators here looking to throw it back |
| 3379s | to an earlier area this year |
| 3381s | kempster again continually hurrying at |
| 3384s | the flanks and it's getting a bit much |
| 3385s | for ultraviolet to keep |
| 3386s | topped up right now |
| 3388s | you have to control this tracer client |
| 3390s | makes a good opening here you're getting |
| 3391s | rid of shoe means funny astro after the |
| 3393s | body grenade connects he's done kept is |
| 3394s | still able to find his way in and get |
| 3396s | rid of ultraviolet here remember the |
| 3397s | clouds had the point but no real chance |
| 3400s | to extend that lead |
| 3402s | yes it was og and hawk trying to just |
| 3404s | contest at the beginning but it's kai |
| 3406s | that opens up with the first kill when |
| 3407s | the gladiators take the point but |
| 3409s | ultraviolet hits a pretty big biotic |
| 3411s | grenade as the dive comes in right over |
| 3413s | by that health pack and that allows him |
| 3414s | to pick up some of those kills right |
| 3416s | after he dies |
| 3418s | and takes the point back for the atlanta |
| 3419s | reigns atlanta pretty fortunate right |
| 3421s | this point usually can be contested for |
| 3422s | a very long time uh the glads only get |
| 3425s | ten percent |
| 3426s | oh okay |
| 3428s | with the kill there but yeah yeah |
| 3430s | obviously ultraviolet gets hit like a |
| 3431s | mack truck by a uh a whole host of |
| 3434s | different things i love the prediction |
| 3436s | plate from kepster there he knows venom |
| 3437s | is half hp and fancy's going for that |
| 3439s | health pack maybe even a recall to it |
| 3441s | that would have been a digger brain if |
| 3444s | he'd actually managed to pull it off but |
| 3445s | venue has played mahjong before |
| 3447s | underwater |
| 3448s | and ultraviolet actually kills uh patty |
| 3450s | as he tries to go in so maybe there's an |
| 3452s | opportunity for atlanta to get onto the |
| 3454s | point kind of chase somebody down as |
| 3455s | reiner gets quite low |
| 3457s | just not quite there you can see venom |
| 3459s | is literally shaking and jerking with |
| 3461s | the exertion here he's putting all of |
| 3462s | himself into his movements as tracer |
| 3464s | right now ryan actually backed away from |
| 3466s | ultraviolet there and uv walked back his |
| 3468s | white shoe with two kills |
| 3470s | that's a huge opening here for the |
| 3472s | gladiators now and it's a matter of |
| 3474s | clearing the point they have to flip |
| 3476s | it's under their control still it'll |
| 3477s | drag it out as long as i please in the |
| 3480s | rain end up using a sound barrier there |
| 3482s | which doesn't really get much value at |
| 3484s | all i was wondering like do we see a |
| 3486s | switch out of that but |
| 3488s | maybe they thought they were still going |
| 3489s | to be able to contest the point and had |
| 3490s | the point in their favor but |
| 3492s | really get much of anything out of that |
| 3494s | so i'm going to need to see a big play |
| 3496s | out of hawk here with this nano |
| 3500s | pad now looking for the blade |
| 3503s | 64 and counting hawk undeterred by the |
| 3506s | sound barry here if you can close the |
| 3507s | gap on shoe in the meantime be a big |
| 3508s | deal but they've already lost |
| 3509s | ultraviolet oh my god the mechanics from |
| 3512s | patapon astonishing paul can only do so |
| 3515s | much here maybe he gets to trading so he |
| 3517s | does he actually gets both supports |
| 3519s | which is really overperforming in this |
| 3521s | scenario but still dire straights for |
| 3524s | the atlanta reign here as they fall |
| 3525s | further and further behind |
| 3527s | that is so clean from patties i believe |
| 3529s | he actually uh reflects a sleep dart |
| 3532s | right back at ultraviolet kills ulcer |
| 3534s | while he's on the ground with his own |
| 3535s | sleep is kepster's gonna get og man is |
| 3538s | he just lost so many players from the |
| 3540s | elena reign really early on in some of |
| 3541s | these fights |
| 3543s | then just drop the shot defensive tells |
| 3545s | you a lot about the mindset of the rain |
| 3546s | right now hawk oh he slept he didn't |
| 3548s | quite make his way into the back line |
| 3550s | and shu was gonna slap him down that's a |
| 3552s | comfortable finish for the los angeles |
| 3554s | gladiators it takes him a little to get |
| 3556s | their engine running |
| 3558s | and of course |
| 3560s | some words in the chat they're under |
| 3562s | just weighing in fair enough good start |
| 3564s | for the glads funny astro uh |
| 3568s | uh nice beat too so |
| 3571s | oh geez just laughing he knows that uh |
| 3573s | yeah maybe they thought that fight was |
| 3574s | winnable uh it's the one we were talking |
| 3576s | about maybe it was a little bit late and |
| 3577s | not able to get anything of it but i |
| 3579s | don't think that's the difference in i |
| 3581s | don't know whether atlanta wins or loses |
| 3583s | the round the gladiator should look |
| 3584s | dominant let me give you some quick |
| 3586s | stats here kevster and patapan had 11 |
| 3588s | and 13 final blows respectively |
| 3590s | venom only won only one for the entire |
| 3592s | map |
| 3593s | really difficult for him to find a way |
| 3595s | in it he finds his way in but sometimes |
| 3597s | he's doing it before his backline gets |
| 3600s | utterly decimated the gladiators are |
| 3602s | setting the pace right now and they're |
| 3604s | looking to continue to take some big |
| 3606s | strides in map two |
| 3623s | [Music] |
| 3663s | me |
| 3676s | me |
| 3727s | um |
| 3735s | [Music] |
| 3760s | [Music] |
| 3773s | [Music] |
| 3786s | let's go |
| 3829s | [Music] |
| 3842s | shut up |
| 3845s | [Music] |
| 3852s | [Music] |
| 3853s | yes |
| 3857s | [Music] |
| 3869s | [Music] |
| 3883s | some real raw emotion in this matchup so |
| 3885s | far not referring to the line in the |
| 3887s | background these two teams just belting |
| 3889s | the heck out of each other's back lines |
| 3891s | over and over again but kevster comes |
| 3894s | out with 13 final flows and zero depth |
| 3897s | with one and every two pulse bombs |
| 3899s | getting the stick that's finger looking |
| 3901s | good matt |
| 3902s | yeah uh pretty good map there from |
| 3905s | cancer uh you know 13 final blows zero |
| 3908s | deaths |
| 3909s | uh 50 |
| 3910s | on the pulse bomb as hatch rate i really |
| 3912s | think uh made a huge difference and you |
| 3915s | know a large gap there between him and |
| 3917s | venom in that mountain one but |
| 3919s | a lot of uh a lot of this series still |
| 3922s | left to play it was the atlanta reigns |
| 3924s | pick uh they ended up going to king's |
| 3926s | row uh there is a substitution that is |
| 3929s | skewed uh in for funny as show that's no |
| 3931s | longer funny as show uh and on your |
| 3934s | screen it's uh you know uh skewed coming |
| 3937s | in probably uh you know some double flex |
| 3939s | support looks uh maybe some uh rig |
| 3942s | uh |
| 3943s | a few options there with him in the |
| 3945s | lineup |
| 3946s | yeah absolutely i know we saw both teams |
| 3948s | go for a they're pretty |
| 3950s | pretty standard compositions on that |
| 3952s | first you know ilios map right doing we |
| 3955s | saw some winston mixed in there as well |
| 3956s | the gladiators wanted to play the genji |
| 3957s | base set up and powder pun looks really |
| 3960s | clean with it today having a a strong |
| 3962s | genji player we kind of bring this up by |
| 3964s | having someone who's able to play hit |
| 3966s | scan and then just turn around and play |
| 3967s | some insane genji it is quite rare there |
| 3970s | are a lot of teams that sort of have |
| 3971s | that particular degree of flexibility |
| 3973s | available to them |
| 3975s | and kevster is actually insanely |
| 3977s | flexible he just doesn't it just doesn't |
| 3978s | have to be |
| 3979s | they can just leave him on the tracer |
| 3980s | and let him control venom venom who by |
| 3982s | the way |
| 3983s | you know |
| 3984s | there were some 1v1 between our traces |
| 3986s | right we did see them i kept saying that |
| 3987s | one clipping him that's going to get in |
| 3989s | your head especially to a young player |
| 3990s | like venom you know who i mean this is a |
| 3993s | big trip for him you know what i mean |
| 3995s | he's gotta he's gotta turn that aside |
| 3997s | and focus on the next map i feel like |
| 3999s | he's also gotten more play time during |
| 4001s | this tournament than like recently than |
| 4003s | like even at the beginning of the season |
| 4004s | right you know nero was playing a ton |
| 4006s | early on is uh now venom kind of working |
| 4009s | he was way more into the lineup you know |
| 4011s | getting experience in some of these big |
| 4012s | matches and you know tournaments |
| 4015s | uh because his skill is is up there with |
| 4017s | somebody like kepster tried really |
| 4019s | strong on the tracer role i think just |
| 4022s | maybe uh no it needs to get uh whether |
| 4024s | just kind of like in the flow of this |
| 4026s | game or just a little bit more |
| 4027s | experience but he's a tremendous player |
| 4031s | keep an eye out again for these |
| 4032s | backlines right which is something i'm |
| 4034s | glad they took the time to talk about in |
| 4036s | the truck earlier on here |
| 4038s | because we know what you know |
| 4039s | ultraviolet and og are able to provide |
| 4040s | for us i also think he's in is very |
| 4042s | scary so seeing the atlanta reign you |
| 4044s | don't have to make a substitution by the |
| 4046s | way to play this double sort of flex |
| 4047s | support set up |
| 4048s | look out for this match up skewed an |
| 4050s | absolute veteran of this role he was the |
| 4052s | brig and zen player for the gladiators |
| 4054s | from last year and sort of prior so uh |
| 4057s | oh yeah i got a good feeling about the |
| 4058s | support matchup and of course it is the |
| 4061s | sigma on defense here for the atlanta |
| 4062s | right now we've seen teams try and |
| 4065s | manage this or sort of play up against |
| 4066s | it i think we even saw the uh the fusion |
| 4069s | show great you know methods of digging |
| 4071s | him out on king's row and i think the |
| 4072s | glads are probably expecting it |
| 4074s | yeah and we casted a game the other day |
| 4076s | of the atlanta rain where they took |
| 4077s | somebody to king's row after losing map |
| 4079s | number one and og ultraviolet and hawk |
| 4082s | were tremendous holding that high ground |
| 4084s | that's got to open the outlaws game |
| 4086s | yeah we'll see if they're able to do it |
| 4087s | yet again i know constantly ultraviolet |
| 4090s | you're hitting big biotic grenades up |
| 4091s | there in the high ground og |
| 4093s | no |
| 4094s | point |
| 4095s | what's up |
| 4096s | you're having a lot no all right |
| 4099s | i thought we were getting a battle |
| 4100s | cattle there for a sec i was ready for |
| 4102s | it i was ready to settle out |
| 4104s | all right the winston for rhino so we're |
| 4107s | gonna have to the hanzo from kepster one |
| 4109s | of the you know we've said that he's |
| 4110s | flexible he just hasn't had to be |
| 4112s | yeah i i think i'm more interested with |
| 4114s | the |
| 4115s | hanzo in the mix than |
| 4117s | um the winston the hanzo really good for |
| 4119s | like that like medium to long range the |
| 4122s | burst damage |
| 4123s | as you can see you can just pester the |
| 4125s | shield up on the high ground and just |
| 4126s | one of those arrows connects on og and |
| 4128s | he's dead right |
| 4130s | yeah just lock him in range skewed loses |
| 4133s | out early here so kai is actually able |
| 4135s | to find a key pick and it's tough when |
| 4136s | you're an attacking team right because |
| 4138s | you want to take aggressive angles says |
| 4139s | that's him but you also put yourself in |
| 4141s | kai's sights that's a scary prospect |
| 4144s | they do uh they do sneakily get a tick |
| 4146s | there |
| 4147s | uh so you do get a a tick there for the |
| 4150s | gladiators |
| 4152s | uh and they get up to like 52 percent |
| 4154s | but |
| 4155s | uh i guess the grinder on the point nada |
| 4157s | didn't have a contest that was like |
| 4159s | probably venom's uh responsibility at |
| 4161s | that time right we're sure i know you're |
| 4163s | able to get a full tick on the point |
| 4166s | but you know look interesting big |
| 4168s | thing but oh yeah |
| 4170s | rhino |
| 4171s | okay you almost got out the hall capable |
| 4173s | to find |
| 4174s | what's happening in the back line yes |
| 4175s | paddy and co that snuck in no one heard |
| 4178s | the pitter patter of the genji feat |
| 4179s | apparently oh gee at least is able to |
| 4181s | deal with him paddy is absolutely right |
| 4183s | about it but it doesn't matter og tried |
| 4185s | to find a sideline and kevster punishes |
| 4187s | the hawk is going to be sheepishly |
| 4189s | backing up here |
| 4191s | yes that's patty with two and then |
| 4192s | kepster with one and just |
| 4194s | like the desk mentioned into these dps |
| 4196s | players right now being able to take |
| 4198s | over some of these games that's when |
| 4200s | they start off by getting a kill on to |
| 4202s | reiner like reiner is so low |
| 4204s | pulse bomb connection on him it's |
| 4206s | looking really good |
| 4208s | and then just uh the hanzo arrow but |
| 4210s | more importantly you know patty comes up |
| 4211s | with two on the engine just slicing on |
| 4213s | through opens up the point for the glass |
| 4216s | yeah we're watching rhino getting pulsed |
| 4217s | but you know meanwhile there's a full-on |
| 4219s | flank hat thing there's nothing the rain |
| 4220s | backline we're able to do about it so |
| 4222s | shoe body grenade they're trying to keep |
| 4223s | rhino standing there is a nano here |
| 4225s | ready to go there's padding with the the |
| 4227s | blade |
| 4229s | a little too easy for the man right now |
| 4231s | what a deflect timing knew that og would |
| 4233s | look to try and clean his clock and he's |
| 4234s | gonna get three still venom responds |
| 4236s | with a gravity flux here and skews gonna |
| 4238s | kick him right on back kinetic grass |
| 4240s | buys hook enough time and venom tears |
| 4242s | shreds off the glass |
| 4244s | he doesn't want it he doesn't want this |
| 4245s | smoke |
| 4247s | i just think he knows like that kepster |
| 4249s | hits him once and it's all over he's |
| 4250s | going to back up they know that reiner |
| 4252s | is coming right back but |
| 4254s | now it'll be hawk over to the winston so |
| 4256s | we talked about the atlanta reign really |
| 4258s | focusing on hawk as that main tank |
| 4261s | now now he's gonna he's got to play it |
| 4262s | here against reiner it's been |
| 4264s | able to play really much everything at a |
| 4266s | high level |
| 4267s | hawk has looked he has to look bad on |
| 4269s | the winston thus far let's see how it |
| 4270s | looks so in this type of game |
| 4273s | hanzo man ultraviolet's out of the |
| 4275s | picture the rest of the calculus bank |
| 4277s | gets a lot easier rhino just sat |
| 4279s | shepherding this one forward |
| 4281s | transcendence falls by skewed i think he |
| 4283s | might have been jumped on actually on |
| 4284s | that flank because venom's gonna look |
| 4285s | try and find a pulse he couldn't believe |
| 4287s | uh what was going on there he jumps to |
| 4288s | the sides he tries to get that stick but |
| 4290s | hawk is down to paddy trying to play |
| 4292s | inside of his own bubble |
| 4294s | kai also trying to use that for a bit of |
| 4296s | protection there but it doesn't realize |
| 4297s | that rhino was coming up behind him |
| 4299s | and now with the gladiators here with |
| 4301s | that second checkpoint so not a great |
| 4303s | start there for the reign |
| 4305s | no not at all it's uh |
| 4307s | really this hanzo has made an impact |
| 4310s | he's here |
| 4310s | one shot into venom |
| 4312s | kepster's having himself a game today |
| 4314s | 6-0 you said yeah |
| 4316s | has not died yet someone someone |
| 4318s | tweeting me we're talking about him too |
| 4319s | much he's literally 19-0 |
| 4322s | i'm gonna talk about him as much as i |
| 4323s | want there very much |
| 4325s | this is unreal against the team of the |
| 4326s | reigns caliber you should not be |
| 4328s | allowing a player to run it's wild in a |
| 4330s | loser's final uh no less uh atlanta |
| 4334s | actually at the start of that wasn't |
| 4335s | looking too bad for them uh skewed had |
| 4337s | the use of transcendence early that |
| 4339s | allowed og to come in later with the |
| 4341s | transcendence but it was a biotic |
| 4342s | grenade from shoe that you know they |
| 4343s | were able to take hawk out really didn't |
| 4345s | get much out of there but |
| 4346s | started off good for atlanta didn't end |
| 4348s | up good |
| 4350s | or they're constantly being restucked |
| 4352s | with that discord orb every time it gets |
| 4354s | shaken off |
| 4356s | paddy with a deflect there venom knows |
| 4357s | that he can get in now take him down his |
| 4359s | paddy by the rail from kai again chiming |
| 4361s | in an important moment for the second |
| 4362s | final of the round for kai |
| 4364s | the gladiators don't have the confidence |
| 4366s | to push up here maybe they're waiting on |
| 4368s | a paddy blade again yeah i mean you have |
| 4370s | nano blade right you know most likely |
| 4372s | that og doesn't have the transcendence |
| 4374s | you saw him use it later than skewed so |
| 4376s | you know he's further behind skewed and |
| 4378s | skewed has it at this point |
| 4381s | so you have a really good idea that he |
| 4382s | doesn't have the transcendence you know |
| 4384s | that this could be a huge nano blade |
| 4386s | that secure this whole push |
| 4391s | there it is never played for panapan |
| 4392s | here we go he waits it for just a second |
| 4395s | ultraviolet's gonna dazzle with the |
| 4396s | fighting grenade and oh gee just able to |
| 4399s | dodge the questing edge of the blade |
| 4401s | gets party down ryan doesn't realize |
| 4403s | he's being shot from behind or maybe he |
| 4404s | does that's why he maybe had his head |
| 4406s | turned but it's a primal rage here does |
| 4408s | he use it it's gonna be a transcendence |
| 4410s | for emoji so i guess rhino maybe hoping |
| 4412s | it shut this down a little bit though |
| 4414s | it's going to be responded to by skewed |
| 4415s | dragon strike forcing og to the |
| 4417s | left-hand side but kai with the |
| 4418s | overclock deals with rhino who else will |
| 4420s | stand up |
| 4422s | oh shoot given no choice but to sit |
| 4425s | skewed following not long after |
| 4427s | and the reign is tied to break the |
| 4429s | deadlock |
| 4430s | yes reiner ends up using that primal |
| 4432s | rage now we see him make a switch kept |
| 4434s | serious behind him if he finds me trying |
| 4436s | to sneak that one home |
| 4438s | so we see the doomfist come out so |
| 4441s | doomfist is pretty good against uh the |
| 4442s | winston-based compositions right being |
| 4444s | able to just knock him away i give him |
| 4446s | some problems so |
| 4449s | gladiators are really running that uh |
| 4451s | winston uh against the sigma that was |
| 4453s | kind of their answer for that but now |
| 4455s | that we see hawk playing the winston to |
| 4456s | try to match it |
| 4458s | now they're going to go for the doom |
| 4462s | kepster |
| 4463s | on the sojourn |
| 4466s | yet another page in the book |
| 4469s | paddy on the tracer that's just still |
| 4471s | whatever they want at this point nicely |
| 4473s | done by venom though doesn't need the |
| 4474s | pulse to finish the job i wonder what |
| 4475s | the attach rate for venom has been so |
| 4477s | far |
| 4477s | tough to |
| 4479s | really follow but this is very good |
| 4480s | stuff on the atlanta right here they are |
| 4482s | to put a lot of pressure down on rhino |
| 4484s | and the gladiators dps switches aren't |
| 4485s | exactly giving them the opening they |
| 4487s | need |
| 4488s | no it's typically uh like you mentioned |
| 4490s | we've seen cancer play the tracer and |
| 4492s | paddy play the uh |
| 4494s | sojourn but a little bit of a switch up |
| 4496s | here |
| 4497s | that may have just been kind of what |
| 4498s | they're playing some switches a little |
| 4500s | bit late both of them are so flexible |
| 4502s | can play just about anything |
| 4505s | the biggest strength of this team |
| 4507s | and he's in oh and he gets the stick oh |
| 4509s | gee is scrap metal but now he has to |
| 4512s | deal with venom who's very mad but it's |
| 4513s | going to be another boost over towards |
| 4514s | paddy he can stand his ground now more |
| 4516s | than that he's going to send the card |
| 4518s | karine towards the end of the map |
| 4519s | somebody is going to have to challenge |
| 4520s | him but ryder is able to find his way |
| 4522s | towards ultraviolet just ruins him and |
| 4525s | kai is under so much pressure right now |
| 4526s | dealing with the doomfist he's got no |
| 4527s | choice but to slide towards the car |
| 4530s | definitely not the direction of safety |
| 4532s | and the glides are done with only 34 |
| 4534s | seconds in fed |
| 4536s | i i was going to say it actually it |
| 4539s | feels worse for atlanta than it was |
| 4541s | like |
| 4542s | a map completion with 34 seconds |
| 4545s | compared to where you were in the game |
| 4546s | like that's pretty good for the atlanta |
| 4548s | reign and uh you saw a little bit of |
| 4550s | glimpse at the end you know when they |
| 4552s | nano boots onto the tracer man it's a so |
| 4554s | difficult for anybody to keep the tank |
| 4556s | up at that point hawk was on the car had |
| 4559s | a discord or bottom and a nano boosted |
| 4562s | tracer just like in his face |
| 4564s | not gonna last long is uh this is where |
| 4567s | i think though atlanta you probably |
| 4568s | picked this map it's like well what do |
| 4569s | the gladiators do on defense do they try |
| 4571s | and play winston base comp do you see |
| 4573s | reiner trying to pick up the sigma do |
| 4574s | they play the doomfist like uh what do |
| 4576s | you do yeah what do we see so it looks |
| 4578s | like at least we're gonna see at the |
| 4580s | start it'll be a doomfist based |
| 4582s | composition |
| 4584s | from the games that we've seen |
| 4586s | um |
| 4587s | doomfist or winston-based defenses on |
| 4589s | king's row |
| 4591s | notoriously short moved it's hard to |
| 4593s | really make these compositions work um |
| 4596s | maybe in keeping with that we see you |
| 4597s | know kev still on the ash here someone |
| 4599s | who can maybe keep a more respectful |
| 4600s | distance and also have that coach gun |
| 4602s | ability to just create a little bit of |
| 4604s | spacing but |
| 4605s | if they if atlanta come out with sigma |
| 4607s | it's the kind of composition that's |
| 4608s | going to give kevs to good opportunities |
| 4610s | to find big dynamites and to actually |
| 4612s | rotate around that shield position and |
| 4614s | catch by surprise so a slow comp is a |
| 4617s | little susceptible to the ash |
| 4620s | attack see now how atlanta decides to |
| 4623s | attack this with their sigma we've also |
| 4626s | seen i believe atlanta uh they they've |
| 4628s | used the batiste in a composition like |
| 4630s | this as well but |
| 4632s | coming around the corner you're gonna |
| 4633s | see uh you know patty up top on the |
| 4635s | genjis reiner it's gonna be difficult |
| 4637s | for him to just get in and be safe all |
| 4639s | right he's gonna get nanoed by uh he's |
| 4642s | gonna get biotic grenade he's gonna get |
| 4643s | discord orb uh a accretion right a lot |
| 4646s | of stuff to do |
| 4648s | there's no neutral here and here's the |
| 4650s | problem the gladiators have to give up |
| 4651s | space because they're up against a sigma |
| 4653s | setup which means that kai has much |
| 4655s | better sight lines and has to take less |
| 4657s | risks in order to get them and he's just |
| 4659s | dominating |
| 4660s | i agree with you or were you saying |
| 4662s | before i feel like yeah it's going to be |
| 4664s | a switch over the winston straight away |
| 4665s | like the doomfist base setups here on |
| 4667s | king's row that we've seen really |
| 4670s | fallen apart rather quickly |
| 4672s | about throughout all of the mid-season |
| 4674s | madness thus far so that's atlanta a |
| 4677s | load of time man the five minutes and 30 |
| 4680s | seconds on the clock uh reiner already |
| 4682s | with a switch so you're gonna sit his |
| 4684s | ultimate uh back a bit |
| 4687s | and you might be able to make something |
| 4688s | out of this if you're the atlanta reign |
| 4690s | you have a huge time bank now to really |
| 4693s | set yourself apart |
| 4694s | and you want to control this church if |
| 4696s | you can that's a beautiful start venom's |
| 4699s | out of the picture now so zero pressure |
| 4700s | on that back line the only way you die |
| 4702s | as you walk headlong into a rail gun |
| 4704s | from kai |
| 4705s | good opener for the gladiators and |
| 4707s | padapan now has the chance to weasel his |
| 4709s | way towards the back line |
| 4711s | right is very low here but the fact he's |
| 4712s | getting topped up means that she was |
| 4713s | gonna have a very quick nano |
| 4716s | looks like the ultraviolet is being |
| 4718s | pestered |
| 4723s | everybody tries to disperse here |
| 4725s | skewed yeah caught inside the gravity |
| 4727s | horseback wasn't too sure who |
| 4728s | we've gotten in that but a peak around |
| 4730s | the corner gives him all the info that |
| 4732s | he needs and it was actually venom open |
| 4734s | that fight up again it looks like the |
| 4735s | glass had a chance to like pressure the |
| 4737s | 5v4 but venom spawned back in and gets a |
| 4739s | kill instantly |
| 4741s | yeah i wasn't sure if hoff really had an |
| 4743s | idea of that he |
| 4744s | got skewed |
| 4745s | in that prophetic blocks as paddy is |
| 4753s | we were expecting to sort of exploit |
| 4754s | that 5v4 right with the with the tracer |
| 4756s | down but he's well i don't know what |
| 4758s | he's looking for but look at all this |
| 4760s | this confident the gladiators just give |
| 4761s | space hand of a fist huge stick shoe is |
| 4764s | down and again this problem is starting |
| 4765s | to compound the gladiators are at risk |
| 4767s | of getting severely boomed out of this |
| 4769s | map now |
| 4770s | yeah and he had a nano is that's going |
| 4772s | to be kepster using the bob there it's a |
| 4774s | bobble just gonna stand over by where |
| 4777s | the objective needs to go not really |
| 4779s | doing much just shooting into the shield |
| 4781s | of hawk |
| 4782s | [Music] |
| 4784s | yeah i know this is uh |
| 4786s | this is all atlanta rain thus far |
| 4789s | what a whopping time bank |
| 4792s | five minutes seven seconds to work with |
| 4795s | and the gladiators still want to play |
| 4796s | this winston-based composition i mean |
| 4798s | there's always the question of like you |
| 4798s | know how inclined are the glasses to |
| 4800s | play like a static shield set up here |
| 4802s | but they have to give space until they |
| 4803s | find like an ideal setup to dive the |
| 4805s | problem is they never get to part b of |
| 4807s | that plant they just give space and die |
| 4811s | so it makes them much worse than they |
| 4812s | are they die bogey here potentially a |
| 4815s | nano for the zen of the atlanta rain |
| 4818s | yeah and that would throw everything |
| 4820s | sideways for the glass okay man it won't |
| 4822s | ride it here no i'm padded but ryan is |
| 4824s | able to find some purchase on kai he's |
| 4825s | hit with the biotic grenade still though |
| 4828s | goes for that primal |
| 4829s | it's a disruption here obviously very |
| 4831s | effective against a more static setup it |
| 4832s | opens it up for paddy to get rid of og |
| 4835s | now can you stagger this out and how can |
| 4837s | you convert this into stronger defensive |
| 4838s | positions they're the big questions here |
| 4840s | man for the gladiators |
| 4842s | yes the gladiators end of using the |
| 4844s | primal getting in deep |
| 4846s | making a play |
| 4847s | uh atlanta had really no reply to that i |
| 4849s | do believe they actually nanoed og |
| 4852s | uh during that they did get a nano off |
| 4855s | uh |
| 4856s | just was not definitely not on the quiet |
| 4857s | as he dropped really fast yeah it looked |
| 4859s | like you know og did die pretty quick |
| 4862s | but |
| 4863s | it might have been miscalculation by the |
| 4864s | oh that's nasty a miscalculation to sort |
| 4866s | of nano og thinking he'd be the prime |
| 4868s | target for ryder they're able to make it |
| 4870s | afraid here though |
| 4872s | oh i love that that's just dirty |
| 4875s | ryan can't be kept alive you see the |
| 4876s | transcendence is in play but they |
| 4878s | actually keep rhino |
| 4879s | i think he's too high above skewed's |
| 4881s | transcendence to be i can fight this |
| 4883s | though if you're the elena rain i think |
| 4884s | you can fight this you venom back in the |
| 4886s | mix you can at least get some cart |
| 4888s | programs and he has to play really close |
| 4890s | up he's front lining |
| 4892s | yeah |
| 4893s | so far not so bad he uses the deflect |
| 4895s | cooldown to create a little bit of space |
| 4896s | for the rest of his team |
| 4898s | venom definitely sidesteps the railroad |
| 4901s | grenade yep no goodness oh gee finds |
| 4904s | that transcendence here the rain |
| 4905s | actually happened to let the fight come |
| 4906s | together with this setup and it worked |
| 4908s | perfectly the gladiator is a little bit |
| 4910s | maladroit in the way that they start |
| 4911s | that engagement and they get punished |
| 4913s | for it |
| 4914s | yeah they try and push on in with that |
| 4916s | blade it's the transcendence |
| 4918s | from og that makes the difference they |
| 4920s | get a kill on a rhino early is reiner |
| 4922s | gets here the biotic grenade taken out |
| 4923s | on the point |
| 4925s | this has been all atlanta rain |
| 4927s | that beautiful stuff from ultraviolet |
| 4929s | especially he's going to send the nano |
| 4930s | over to hawk here to make sure he has |
| 4932s | the staying power and there's a huge |
| 4934s | lead for atlanta the gladiators play |
| 4936s | dive based defense and get humiliated |
| 4940s | and what do they do the next time on |
| 4941s | defense not that |
| 4943s | hopefully |
| 4945s | well it didn't really i think the |
| 4947s | winston is probably a better look than |
| 4949s | doomfist they were at the start but |
| 4952s | i i don't know if it would see a like |
| 4954s | drastically different result i mean |
| 4955s | sigma's so good on king's row defense |
| 4957s | because he can control the high ground |
| 4959s | like shield uh up there can eat damage |
| 4962s | you know tracer just kind of contests |
| 4963s | the point right |
| 4965s | uh the consistent damage from the |
| 4966s | hypersphere is just coming down makes a |
| 4968s | huge impact |
| 4969s | uh |
| 4971s | the winston on defense it just can't |
| 4973s | really control as much so |
| 4975s | it looks like it'll be the atlanta reign |
| 4977s | here on defense uh you know get that |
| 4979s | swapped on the top of the screen but |
| 4981s | they land on defense they'll play that |
| 4983s | same thing that we saw the last time |
| 4984s | from them on d it'll be the gladiators |
| 4986s | running that winston off the start this |
| 4988s | time |
| 4989s | hawks had an incredible map uh topping |
| 4991s | damage on his team by a pretty healthy |
| 4994s | margin |
| 4995s | whereas reiner is four final blows 11 |
| 4998s | deaths 11 alongside paddy uh both those |
| 5002s | two having some difficulties here this |
| 5004s | is when we start to see quite a contrast |
| 5006s | between these first two maps the |
| 5007s | strengths of the atlanta rain now be |
| 5009s | made very clear |
| 5010s | hawks flexibility the gladiators are the |
| 5012s | ones that were boasting of their |
| 5014s | flexibility ever since tenses but ryan |
| 5016s | has been on do more winston nothing but |
| 5019s | defend |
| 5022s | takes a shot i think the hanzo yet again |
| 5024s | so |
| 5026s | if you're atlanta |
| 5027s | i don't really think you need to change |
| 5029s | too much i'm on defense like kempster |
| 5030s | was just able to get in a like if if you |
| 5032s | talk then you're the atlanta reign and |
| 5034s | so you see capture just banking those |
| 5035s | off the wall uh |
| 5037s | really it was kepster and patty who were |
| 5038s | able to get in the back and make a play |
| 5041s | if they don't make that play who knows |
| 5042s | what happens right uh because elena is |
| 5044s | doing pretty good on defense up until |
| 5047s | huge moment |
| 5049s | he's actually being topped up from |
| 5050s | inside the hotel yeah he has both |
| 5052s | supports looking at him so he it's a bit |
| 5054s | of a sort of misnamed duel there is he |
| 5057s | had the advantage oh she down but sleep |
| 5059s | there ultraviolet so low needs to be |
| 5062s | careful of anything bouncing off those |
| 5063s | walls but guys found skewed here there's |
| 5065s | a bit to work with for the gladiators |
| 5066s | but hawk he still controls that high |
| 5068s | ground |
| 5069s | yeah and you still have ultraviolet here |
| 5071s | who's been able to live through all of |
| 5072s | this is that huge sleep on the paddy and |
| 5074s | then be able to he'll hawk up |
| 5076s | og gets back on the lucio here to |
| 5078s | contest |
| 5079s | catch up looking flashy but in terms of |
| 5082s | result is it coming over too much so far |
| 5084s | wants to try and pressure down as much |
| 5085s | as he can he definitely won't have a |
| 5086s | dragon here so he forces his way back |
| 5089s | it's gonna be both on his down then i'm |
| 5091s | looking for a pulse bomb connection on |
| 5092s | skew but og's gonna finish the job for |
| 5094s | him that's a great freaking rider that |
| 5096s | comes over him there with the cell with |
| 5099s | the uh with the explosion rather the |
| 5100s | pulse bomb |
| 5102s | still there will just be hawk on the |
| 5104s | point exactly who you want to be there |
| 5106s | and |
| 5106s | padding dashes to the sky |
| 5109s | can't touch in time |
| 5110s | and more importantly they don't give up |
| 5112s | a tick there uh so huge defense there |
| 5115s | from the atlanta reign like we've been |
| 5117s | talking about hawk and ultraviolet for |
| 5120s | me on that defense uh were just massive |
| 5122s | you know kind of gave up a travail out |
| 5124s | there towards the end as reiner and i |
| 5126s | believe petty went up to the high ground |
| 5127s | chased him took him out but they got a |
| 5129s | few other kills on the other side of |
| 5131s | things |
| 5131s | i will see if the gladiators can muster |
| 5133s | up a better defense here this time i |
| 5135s | mean it's going to be very difficult uh |
| 5138s | just one tick needed for the atlanta |
| 5140s | reign 3 15 on the clock their map |
| 5143s | selection |
| 5144s | they've clearly looked in the driver's |
| 5146s | seat in this map uh would be a |
| 5148s | tremendous hold if the glads are able to |
| 5150s | pull it off there's no way there's just |
| 5152s | no way the gladiators just couldn't |
| 5154s | figure out how to unseat fork |
| 5157s | the guy was just unkillable from that |
| 5159s | position yeah he's obviously yeah venom |
| 5162s | the pulse bomb stick on rhino who jumps |
| 5164s | in his direction whether intentionally |
| 5166s | or not |
| 5170s | obviously yeah but i'm shocked by that |
| 5172s | i'm playing him |
| 5174s | still very comfortable finish for |
| 5175s | atlanta |
| 5177s | hello |
| 5178s | they'll be there you can fist yet again |
| 5181s | it's uh ultraviolet potentially hovering |
| 5184s | the batiste they mentioned that on the |
| 5186s | other uh their other offense so we'll go |
| 5188s | back to gyana but we have seen atlanta |
| 5189s | run this with the batiste at times |
| 5193s | it's more support for hawk and the less |
| 5195s | sort of |
| 5196s | mobile characters maybe sojourn included |
| 5199s | but look last time we saw this the glads |
| 5201s | gave up a bunch of space which allowed |
| 5202s | kai to find a critical |
| 5205s | final blow |
| 5207s | it's just so |
| 5209s | deep |
| 5217s | diligence here trying to make sure kai |
| 5219s | doesn't have a favorable high ground |
| 5220s | position to play from and the gladiators |
| 5222s | last pretty well but eventually blood is |
| 5225s | drawn by the rain |
| 5227s | reiner extends into og here though so he |
| 5230s | landed relying on sport advantage not |
| 5231s | much else for the time being kind of |
| 5233s | ready for the pressure coming in and |
| 5234s | ryan looked to finish that kill but |
| 5236s | good diligence as well from ultraviolet |
| 5238s | keeping eyes on kai both sergio is going |
| 5241s | to strike here it's actually shoe that's |
| 5242s | gone down it's a big kill |
| 5244s | and that's massive that's a large chunk |
| 5246s | of the healing for the gladiator so the |
| 5247s | gladiators know they gotta win this |
| 5249s | fight fast because the longer it drags |
| 5251s | out the better it's going to be for |
| 5252s | atlanta and they get hot |
| 5255s | that's big that's so big for the |
| 5256s | defenders here just one tick is all the |
| 5257s | rain need they can't afford to let this |
| 5259s | go to withdraw after having such |
| 5262s | a strong attacking half they'll have a |
| 5264s | nano here |
| 5269s | a few times whether it be early or late |
| 5272s | uh |
| 5274s | is the nano here for oh gee is it for |
| 5277s | fall you've seen him give it to hawk |
| 5279s | but |
| 5281s | i mean if you can mitigate damages by |
| 5283s | standing front center |
| 5285s | it might be a worthwhile investment |
| 5286s | ultraviolet trying to keep hawk close to |
| 5288s | his reticle here so i suspect that's the |
| 5289s | target |
| 5291s | all right reiner gets out there pork a |
| 5293s | little low ultraviolet knows it's coming |
| 5295s | for him sleep there immediately on ryder |
| 5297s | he's going to be put to bed and no one |
| 5298s | wakes him up until hawk just blows in |
| 5300s | the smithereens |
| 5302s | and he does get that nano |
| 5304s | now transition to the point how do you |
| 5306s | pressure this down it's going to be pad |
| 5307s | upon going in to find something easy but |
| 5309s | no blade for the time being he doesn't |
| 5310s | need it because cast is in the |
| 5312s | background with the overclock two key |
| 5314s | kills venom and ultraviolet down and now |
| 5317s | we're into squeaky bum time for the |
| 5319s | atlanta rain |
| 5320s | so two minutes already off of the clock |
| 5322s | here for atlanta |
| 5324s | a minute on it |
| 5325s | transcendence for both sides so this |
| 5327s | graphitic flux may not be that huge |
| 5329s | difference baker you're probably looking |
| 5330s | at kai with the overclock and man |
| 5333s | atlanta this is a must-win scenario uh |
| 5336s | this is your map pick you played so well |
| 5338s | on it for the gladiators just pull out |
| 5340s | an incredible defensive stand here |
| 5342s | towards the end and losing it that would |
| 5344s | be tougher momentum |
| 5346s | unreal |
| 5347s | found kai |
| 5348s | hawk wants to make the play where's his |
| 5350s | flex go sku's gonna transcend us that |
| 5352s | immediately patapon has to deal with one |
| 5354s | of his own in the back line kept his |
| 5356s | able to avoid the basting hypocrites for |
| 5357s | the time being but here's the blade and |
| 5359s | uv doesn't connect the sleeve but oh |
| 5360s | geez there with a foot of fury he goes |
| 5363s | pretty low gets to try to wrap around on |
| 5364s | that left-hand side with the rainer |
| 5366s | trying to throw the tempo down rainer |
| 5368s | taking it slow sku's gonna get hit by |
| 5370s | the pulse bomb there it's almost one |
| 5372s | tick that's all they need rhino versus |
| 5373s | hawk power blocking up trying to punch |
| 5375s | but cuts him down and the rain get what |
| 5377s | they came for |
| 5379s | almost let it slip through their fingers |
| 5381s | but that's a map secured |
| 5383s | and |
| 5385s | the rest of the team better than |
| 5387s | ultraviolet og for that one |
| 5389s | the supports just had a tremendous end |
| 5392s | to that round with og being able to pick |
| 5394s | up three uh the sleep on a rhino then |
| 5396s | the biotic grenade i mean just |
| 5399s | tremendous stuff from the atlanta rain |
| 5400s | supports |
| 5403s | now we've got ourselves a series on our |
| 5405s | hands not the start that atlanta we're |
| 5408s | looking for but the gladiators have been |
| 5410s | shown once again to be mortal and the |
| 5412s | kings of the lower bracket are looking |
| 5414s | to make a meal out of them don't go too |
| 5415s | far everybody we're hoping for a long |
| 5417s | one |
| 5499s | [Music] |
| 5506s | [Music] |
| 5518s | [Music] |
| 5651s | [Music] |
| 5654s | two shots dead on the ground we're in |
| 5656s | the same pull up three rounds bro you |
| 5658s | done we let a rain head pop so look out |
| 5661s | when we in the zone don't play around i |
| 5663s | got strap put your back tell you now we |
| 5666s | laying it down yeah bow bands up trapped |
| 5669s | out i bring the doors gang out |
| 5672s | [Music] |
| 5681s | you |
| 5685s | [Music] |
| 5691s | [Music] |
| 5696s | the midseason madness legendary skin |
| 5698s | sure got the royal treatment that's |
| 5700s | right it's royal night mercy on sale now |
| 5702s | through august 19th for just 200 league |
| 5705s | tokens so make sure you snap yours up |
| 5708s | today |
| 5709s | here of course in our second to last |
| 5711s | match of our mid-season madness |
| 5713s | tournament we see the los angeles |
| 5715s | gladiators looking not just fallible but |
| 5718s | a little under the weather here looks |
| 5720s | like their strategy just just broadly |
| 5722s | their strategy was not well tailored |
| 5724s | against what the atlanta reign could do |
| 5725s | on king's romance i i just think it was |
| 5727s | a really excellent map pick by the |
| 5729s | atlanta reign uh they had recognized you |
| 5732s | know maybe a weakness |
| 5733s | uh so to speak or an advantage they |
| 5735s | could uh pull out here against the |
| 5737s | gladiators and i think you know playing |
| 5739s | that sigma and hawk with how good he's |
| 5741s | been on sigma this season in the past i |
| 5743s | think it's a really good call out you |
| 5745s | know put one of your the best players in |
| 5747s | uh amazing situation to succeed and a |
| 5751s | hawk he comes up clutch in that map |
| 5753s | now there are other maps that you could |
| 5756s | do that on if you're the atlanta reign |
| 5758s | the catch is you have to lose the prior |
| 5761s | one to be able to select them |
| 5763s | if that's worth i think they should win |
| 5765s | the maps instead yes that would be my |
| 5767s | advice is the atlanta coaching staff you |
| 5770s | might be onto something you might be |
| 5772s | onto something gibraltar though is the |
| 5774s | pick for the gladiators here and |
| 5776s | obviously we see the answer substitution |
| 5778s | someone who's probably been getting uh |
| 5780s | you know there's been a decent amount of |
| 5782s | discussion around just the the pure |
| 5784s | efficacy of rotating arms in for these |
| 5786s | hit scan centric match-ups |
| 5789s | it is by the way one of the very best |
| 5791s | hit scan matchups you could ask for at |
| 5794s | least in the west if not the entire |
| 5795s | league right now aren't versus kai the |
| 5797s | problem is that aunts |
| 5798s | maybe he hasn't spent enough time in |
| 5801s | some of these games to really find his |
| 5802s | sea legs so to speak he's gonna have to |
| 5804s | find him awful quick in this very |
| 5806s | important elimination match i i think |
| 5808s | it's just more |
| 5810s | people |
| 5811s | kind of thinking about peak ants and is |
| 5814s | like well why can't we just get peak |
| 5816s | ants when they sub him in |
| 5818s | in the middle of a series right uh when |
| 5821s | he was just crushing for the shock |
| 5824s | uh |
| 5825s | he was playing every single series |
| 5828s | uh every single game every single map |
| 5830s | really right i mean he was playing a ton |
| 5832s | whether it was like the cassie the ash |
| 5834s | the widowmaker we even saw him play some |
| 5837s | tracer right where that's just not |
| 5839s | not his role on this team |
| 5842s | and |
| 5842s | even if he doesn't like pop off and have |
| 5844s | those moments i think just bringing him |
| 5846s | in and the |
| 5848s | the threat the capability of what he |
| 5849s | does changes how the other team plays |
| 5852s | now this doesn't mean that the rain |
| 5854s | don't have the luxury of playing a more |
| 5855s | static setup like a sigma based |
| 5857s | composition they have to match winston's |
| 5859s | here which may be the core the crux of |
| 5862s | why the gladiators selected his map |
| 5864s | a bit of fighting on the corner here now |
| 5866s | as you'll see reiner pressured but uh |
| 5868s | she will just stand up in that blue box |
| 5869s | there and would be really hard to |
| 5871s | pressure in general you can see how kai |
| 5873s | is trying to play a little bit more |
| 5874s | aggressively trying to bait some action |
| 5875s | there it's hawking the wireframe you see |
| 5877s | him pressuring disruptive shot to the |
| 5879s | high ground is a good way of denying |
| 5881s | advantage for a time but the clubs are |
| 5883s | just gonna jockey back and get rid of |
| 5884s | the surge fourth once more again they're |
| 5886s | not really giving odds any type of sight |
| 5888s | line here is uh |
| 5890s | does his diamonds with a venom |
| 5892s | gonna push him back a little bit gonna |
| 5894s | see if he comes around on the flank but |
| 5896s | aunt's not really able to find anything |
| 5897s | right now well no one's died yet uh both |
| 5900s | teams are being pretty conservative |
| 5901s | about their approaches here |
| 5903s | the car though saying that has passed |
| 5905s | through much of his underpass so good |
| 5907s | result for the rain a bloodless uh you |
| 5909s | know a push here so far |
| 5912s | hawk now wants to commit it's all about |
| 5914s | the server room ladies and gentlemen big |
| 5916s | hit from hawkers he poked his head out |
| 5917s | of his bubble for a scan second and here |
| 5918s | comes ryder hit with the body grenades |
| 5920s | he tries to pressure ultraviolet down he |
| 5922s | got what he came for but at what cost |
| 5924s | it's his life on the line |
| 5926s | diane hawk has both supports here stuck |
| 5928s | in a corner and he's got venom with him |
| 5930s | that's going to be a pulse bomb kill |
| 5932s | this might be something the atlanta |
| 5934s | reigners still continue to push on |
| 5935s | forward is he no he was so close to |
| 5938s | primal that's probably what he's kicking |
| 5939s | himself about |
| 5941s | yeah right gonna be out of touch here |
| 5942s | and catch this is a little low so needs |
| 5943s | to drop for the mini as he picks that |
| 5945s | health pack up |
| 5946s | and the rain have to back away here but |
| 5948s | they have a high ground and they have a |
| 5949s | much safer rotation in this server |
| 5952s | you know what though that's like a |
| 5953s | second away from like |
| 5954s | you know if he actually gets that primal |
| 5956s | it's a blowout yeah you can you can |
| 5958s | actually touch that and just get it on |
| 5960s | the way through right there two players |
| 5961s | on the cart |
| 5962s | so this will be the walls which will |
| 5964s | slow things down a bit so |
| 5966s | gladiators to get a little bit of a |
| 5968s | break there |
| 5969s | kevin gets nano there probably just to |
| 5971s | get him out alive |
| 5972s | but he's going to try and make some use |
| 5974s | of it here oh my what |
| 5977s | i think he need to right click it point |
| 5978s | blank tiger to find one of his own there |
| 5980s | which is pretty darn nice but skewed |
| 5982s | from the low ground picks og out of the |
| 5983s | mat the mix so now the glads have a |
| 5986s | chance here to call less in these |
| 5987s | defensive spots |
| 5990s | yes hawk and code do not want to give up |
| 5992s | the high ground regardless if they lose |
| 5993s | a few players they don't want to back |
| 5995s | out give up this position |
| 5997s | they still want to be able to hold this |
| 5998s | and maintain it as |
| 6000s | hawk takes a shot from arms playing that |
| 6001s | back left corner yeah putting on a good |
| 6004s | amount of pressure right now that's a |
| 6005s | sleeve that's a great one too |
| 6007s | you can keep rhino topped up though he's |
| 6009s | picking up |
| 6010s | off the edge enough |
| 6012s | and he will be healed up in the midst of |
| 6014s | it gets to snuck in there i mean snuck |
| 6016s | because he's not trying to hang around |
| 6017s | in that fight gotta kill an ultraviolet |
| 6019s | guy is chasing looking for elimination |
| 6021s | of his own human kept it gets in his way |
| 6022s | and maybe i just pushed a little too far |
| 6024s | 60 seconds remaining |
| 6031s | and you were in a position with two |
| 6032s | minutes to go and we talked about one |
| 6035s | percent away from that primal uh he's |
| 6038s | still holding on that primal i have not |
| 6039s | found a use for where maybe before it |
| 6041s | would have been good enough for just the |
| 6042s | health and to get the card over the line |
| 6044s | but |
| 6045s | we'll see if |
| 6046s | the atlanta reign are able to do it the |
| 6047s | card has moved back a good amount here |
| 6049s | you can see it on your screen |
| 6063s | the gladiators |
| 6065s | holding here on d it looks like it's uh |
| 6069s | seems like um mitch and avril got the |
| 6071s | same type of nook as it looks like |
| 6072s | reiner is going to get the nano boost |
| 6074s | it's going to be two kills here for the |
| 6075s | atlanta reign did they just have enough |
| 6077s | players to stand on the payload as he's |
| 6080s | gonna be skewed getting to getting back |
| 6082s | towards the cart is reiner and man this |
| 6085s | looks like it's gonna be a hold |
| 6087s | for the gladiators is you think for the |
| 6089s | rain you had that one opportunity |
| 6092s | just not able to capitalize is get it |
| 6095s | very close towards getting it over the |
| 6097s | line but not close enough as the |
| 6100s | gladiators a full hold here on gibraltar |
| 6104s | and |
| 6105s | wasn't really like a widowmaker versus |
| 6107s | sojourn matchup that was really the |
| 6109s | difference |
| 6110s | uh you know it was just time and time |
| 6112s | again like the atlanta range is not able |
| 6113s | to get a push outside of that one that |
| 6115s | we talked about where hawk and venom are |
| 6119s | able to get in onto the supports and |
| 6121s | make a play |
| 6123s | see now what the atlanta rain decided to |
| 6125s | do on defense uh potentially a |
| 6127s | winston-based setup right i think that's |
| 6129s | kind of what uh you'd like to see here |
| 6132s | for |
| 6132s | the atlanta reign uh like mitch |
| 6135s | mentioned before he you know took his uh |
| 6137s | what is this this mandatory five-minute |
| 6139s | break uh right for his uh pers ironclad |
| 6143s | deal uh |
| 6144s | he would mention no maybe this is the |
| 6146s | reason they go to this map right because |
| 6147s | hawk has |
| 6149s | not played a ton |
| 6150s | uh no of the main tank in the past right |
| 6153s | just kind of picked it up well at least |
| 6154s | in officials a few days ago |
| 6156s | uh |
| 6157s | probably doing it a lot in scrim so hawk |
| 6159s | will play the winston on d |
| 6161s | you'll have the gladiators a lot of |
| 6163s | options here i mean you can play |
| 6165s | the ash you can play sojourn uh |
| 6168s | kev's throwing the genji seems like a |
| 6169s | little bit of a block take a look at |
| 6171s | this replay here |
| 6172s | excuse me nice kick to the face |
| 6176s | discord yeah off no way he was living |
| 6180s | it's a nice little |
| 6182s | this little finish here from skewed big |
| 6184s | help from reiner taking most of the tips |
| 6187s | during that attackers |
| 6189s | so now it'll be the gladiators on |
| 6191s | offense onto the tp here uh just to get |
| 6194s | some players up to the high ground it |
| 6196s | looks like that was just skewed up on |
| 6197s | that high ground behind you |
| 6200s | so |
| 6201s | let's see now just the genji is so good |
| 6203s | here uh when you compare it to like the |
| 6205s | tracer just being able to control that |
| 6206s | high ground space is it's gonna be |
| 6208s | skewed finding venomous a few times now |
| 6211s | a venom so aggressive sometimes able to |
| 6213s | come up with those first picks but |
| 6215s | you know falling there early is huge |
| 6218s | because look at this position that the |
| 6219s | atlanta rainer falls back into is paul |
| 6222s | gets hit with a discord and then just on |
| 6224s | the high ground kev's are able to |
| 6225s | control this box but just look at the |
| 6227s | payload space you've earned from this |
| 6229s | it's massive as |
| 6231s | server room fight gonna go down |
| 6233s | i can't really find anything as uh okay |
| 6236s | turns looks up gets ons but you've lost |
| 6238s | your tank you've lost your tracer and |
| 6240s | look at this just |
| 6241s | done right for the supports on the high |
| 6243s | ground kevs from the kimchi |
| 6246s | i mean he can do just everything is kai |
| 6249s | will fall it'll be the diva swap here |
| 6251s | for hawk |
| 6253s | just to get a stall but it will not |
| 6255s | matter |
| 6256s | as the gladiators look tremendous on |
| 6258s | their map pick |
| 6260s | they'll take this map go one map away |
| 6263s | from getting to the grand finals here |
| 6266s | against the atlanta reign |
| 6268s | i think kepster on the genji was |
| 6270s | really impactful able to control the |
| 6272s | high ground a lot and i think you'll be |
| 6273s | looking back at that one fight |
| 6275s | where the atlanta reign they were |
| 6277s | pushing up to the high ground it looked |
| 6279s | like they were going to be able to take |
| 6280s | it and hawk just dropped a second early |
| 6283s | oh you're back finally yeah oh yeah |
| 6285s | sometimes your stream pc chooses to |
| 6287s | restart uh you know windows update and |
| 6289s | all that yeah pogchamp all right two to |
| 6291s | one for the gladiators here obviously a |
| 6293s | map pick that we felt good about for |
| 6295s | them and they converted on it don't go |
| 6297s | too far i'm gonna stick around for the |
| 6298s | rest of the series so you bloody well |
| 6300s | better too yeah good work there mitch |

| 6567s | time the overwatch league's most |
| 6569s | decorated franchise here in a new era |
| 6572s | the pulse on the mag another from proper |
| 6576s | spark on against you better sparkle |
| 6577s | found an opening there's one there's two |
| 6579s | that's the sparkle i want to see in this |
| 6581s | series those stats |
| 6584s | getting padded by sparkle sparkle with |
| 6586s | two and another one it's gonna be a heck |
| 6588s | of a weekend i'll tell you right now you |
| 6590s | get kai set up it is gonna be just like |
| 6592s | that the rest of the game back on their |
| 6594s | side of the map that's a stink oh |
| 6596s | checkmate |
| 6598s | a widow player potentially without equal |
| 6600s | that is some filthy stuff where did that |
| 6603s | come from a triple death blossom but |
| 6605s | pelican comes out of nowhere that's two |
| 6608s | of the storm arrows |
| 6613s | just continue to play right out in front |
| 6615s | of the spot there's the blade b can be |
| 6616s | used nice pin long pin two they'll be in |
| 6620s | the back they're managing to fight two |
| 6622s | basically the equivalent of three people |
| 6623s | he nearly had all the kills seoul |
| 6625s | dynasty have not defeated the shanghai |
| 6627s | dragon since the 2020 playoffs i think |
| 6629s | these are the top two teams in a pack |
| 6631s | three goes absolutely monstrous they |
| 6634s | take down the dragons i sweep best |
| 6637s | widowmaker in all of apac no he fell |
| 6640s | onto it chester who has been frightening |
| 6642s | ever since he joined this team smurf |
| 6644s | knows what it feels like to win |
| 6646s | everything hungry to experience that |
| 6648s | feeling once more |
| 6650s | [Music] |
| 6652s | edison is locked in ready to go and asm |
| 6655s | with a 5k |
| 6657s | that's what you want to see they might |
| 6659s | just pull the trigger here they do but |
| 6660s | i'm unreal |
| 6663s | now the stakes get ratcheted up |
| 6666s | unnotched it is two or three pops the |
| 6668s | recall he's looking for the target that |
| 6670s | comes in he's gonna fight for him |
| 6671s | probably the meantime found two with the |
| 6672s | pulse bomb |
| 6674s | han bin is the best sire in the world |
| 6676s | right now |
| 6677s | shu has absolutely taken matters |
| 6684s | and after so very long the dynasty will |
| 6687s | be able to best the dragons playoffs |
| 6690s | profit has certainly arrived the script |
| 6692s | riders they're not messing around today |
| 6693s | you step up to the plate son with a |
| 6696s | victorious war the gladiators are just |
| 6698s | tearing them apart sword dynasty will |
| 6700s | dominate their way and secure the |
| 6702s | kickoff flash title |
| 6710s | well here it is this is only a small |
| 6713s | piece of what these teams are playing |
| 6715s | for here at the mid-season madness |
| 6717s | tournament and one thing that kind of |
| 6719s | ties all these sports fans and |
| 6720s | competitors together alike is that they |
| 6722s | ask the same question who |
| 6724s | is |
| 6725s | the greatest and one of these teams may |
| 6728s | all have a chance to compete for that |
| 6729s | title here this is something magical |
| 6731s | about a global tournament finally |
| 6733s | pitting the west and east regions |
| 6735s | together and so far it's the former that |
| 6738s | have come out on top the gladiators the |
| 6740s | rain compete to take on the san |
| 6743s | francisco shock in the finals for the |
| 6745s | mid-season madness man and so far the |
| 6747s | gladiators have thrown the goldman down |
| 6751s | yes uh patio come back in for aunts and |
| 6754s | funny astro will come in here for skewed |
| 6756s | as uh the map selection here |
| 6759s | uh potentially the last map selection |
| 6761s | here for the atlanta rain |
| 6763s | looks like it'll be coliseum so we've |
| 6765s | seen atlanta pull this out a few times |
| 6768s | uh gladiators look to be running the |
| 6770s | lucio here uh obviously it's like kind |
| 6772s | of a funny astro in the game is |
| 6774s | you know upping that pace right just |
| 6776s | like how we saw in ilios |
| 6778s | no doubt about it it made a big |
| 6780s | difference there as well i think the |
| 6782s | gladiators looked |
| 6783s | pretty uncomfortable especially in that |
| 6785s | second round right |
| 6787s | it allowed them to really pit their dps |
| 6788s | against one another as we saw the really |
| 6790s | fundamental uh style of overwatch we |
| 6793s | just hit back lines over and over again |
| 6796s | coliseum is a different story yeah we've |
| 6798s | definitely seen lucio's bought into |
| 6799s | these compositions for a number of |
| 6801s | reasons primarily that mobility but |
| 6804s | this game type pretty scary for the |
| 6806s | atlanta rain in the past the kind of the |
| 6808s | joke i suppose was that atlanta were |
| 6810s | not particularly good at winning on on |
| 6812s | push i think there was like a video |
| 6813s | released like how to win on push by the |
| 6816s | atlanta reign organization i think |
| 6817s | everyone found it quite amusing because |
| 6819s | there was a little bit of irony there so |
| 6821s | historically this map type not the best |
| 6823s | for the atlanta reign it's safe to say |
| 6825s | that they've made a lot of ground on |
| 6826s | that uh you know over the last few weeks |
| 6829s | and there's no choice but to pick a push |
| 6830s | map here so coliseum is the decision |
| 6833s | so this does allow them to put hawk on |
| 6836s | the doomfist right uh and you can play |
| 6839s | hawk on the doomfist venom on that |
| 6840s | tracer uh |
| 6842s | and that's what they kind of played the |
| 6843s | most of right you know kyle and the |
| 6845s | surgeon uh something that claudius could |
| 6847s | pull out here maybe kevs are on the |
| 6848s | hanzo right uh we saw him play the hanzo |
| 6851s | in king's row they don't end up winning |
| 6852s | it but uh hanzo has seen some play here |
| 6855s | uh on coliseum but |
| 6858s | getting that bot first getting a decent |
| 6860s | amount of metered progress is going to |
| 6862s | be huge |
| 6863s | either of these teams where obviously |
| 6866s | still some time to make some changes |
| 6868s | uh the gladiators look to be hovering |
| 6870s | over the tracer genji set up here as |
| 6873s | opposed having the sojourn in the mix |
| 6875s | so we did see this uh albeit with the |
| 6877s | winston instead of the doomfist on elios |
| 6879s | uh yeah and the gladiators really played |
| 6881s | a quite a great pace so much so the rain |
| 6883s | couldn't keep up so we're actually going |
| 6885s | back to mirror compositions here yeah i |
| 6887s | was going to say they switch back off a |
| 6889s | bit uh you could have done that it's |
| 6891s | just this long sight line right the |
| 6893s | other team has the sojourn or hanzo or |
| 6895s | something right and starts getting these |
| 6896s | picks |
| 6897s | it could be pretty devastating as look |
| 6898s | at this both teams come out into the |
| 6900s | courtyard i'm not even fighting where |
| 6902s | the bot usually is something |
| 6905s | like a roll out probably from |
| 6908s | both teams and maybe they saw the other |
| 6910s | do and they wanted to come out here and |
| 6911s | fight real quick but |
| 6913s | i know just a few kills exchanged i |
| 6915s | believe the atlanta rain get like the |
| 6916s | upper hand out of this is |
| 6919s | they'll be able to get to the box first |
| 6920s | not moving very far not even a meter |
| 6923s | we've seen teams do that actually |
| 6925s | completely wrap around and play for the |
| 6927s | high ground on your opponent's side of |
| 6928s | the map so it's possible both these |
| 6930s | teams were looking to do the same thing |
| 6931s | it might actually become a standardized |
| 6933s | rollout as time goes on because of how |
| 6935s | what strong the initial position it |
| 6937s | gives you is |
| 6938s | oh kai there i think he tried to hope to |
| 6939s | jump out of that situation but kester |
| 6941s | will eventually run him down still good |
| 6943s | starts with the atlanta reign here |
| 6947s | and that's two fights in a row obviously |
| 6949s | really early in this map but they've |
| 6950s | been able to get rid of reiner first as |
| 6953s | that's kind of where i think the shock |
| 6955s | found the most success |
| 6957s | against the gladiators was if you were |
| 6958s | able to get reiner out of the equation |
| 6961s | uh you're able to |
| 6963s | really just take advantage of everybody |
| 6965s | else's |
| 6966s | is he struggling with the atlanta rain |
| 6968s | play this they don't want to push |
| 6969s | forward right here they don't want to go |
| 6970s | running into that high ground |
| 6972s | we're just not incentivized you might as |
| 6974s | well just wait for the gladiators to |
| 6975s | come to you because they inevitably will |
| 6977s | and look at the atlanta right it's |
| 6978s | trying to give up this much space |
| 6980s | hawk stand briefly there we saw caps to |
| 6982s | go in with the poles oh my two |
| 6984s | it's perfect the perfect two-piece |
| 6988s | from kevster |
| 6989s | oh that's just gonna cut the atlanta |
| 6990s | reigns straight away |
| 6992s | what a haymaker |
| 6994s | yeah and atlanta doesn't have much |
| 6996s | progress right 13 meters this should be |
| 6998s | pretty easy to make up as we were on |
| 7000s | with kepster we got off from for a bit |
| 7002s | let's see oh right on ultraviolet it |
| 7005s | looks like og just playing around the |
| 7006s | same corner yeah it's probably going |
| 7008s | around into that corner yeah they come |
| 7010s | out really fast here and they want to |
| 7012s | fight this is not going to allow the |
| 7013s | gladiators take the lead |
| 7015s | i like that opener from kai there and |
| 7017s | yes yeah atlanta rain making |
| 7020s | it happen very quickly the gladiators |
| 7022s | would have been able to get a lead the |
| 7023s | bot obviously little ponderous when he's |
| 7025s | behind that barrier |
| 7027s | i like the move from the atlanta rain |
| 7028s | though don't wait engage with the sound |
| 7031s | barrier use the meteor strike go in |
| 7034s | make a play and that allows him to get |
| 7036s | kai set up on the high ground |
| 7037s | who knows right you use an overclock |
| 7039s | here or even if you just pick up a shot |
| 7041s | or two so you can keep moving this |
| 7043s | barrier even more |
| 7045s | with that overclock here ultraviolet |
| 7047s | surrounded by foes |
| 7049s | extending pretty deeply into the |
| 7050s | formation of the gladiators here but the |
| 7052s | rain will be happy with some incremental |
| 7054s | progress |
| 7055s | on the proviso they can get back in to |
| 7057s | neutral territory as quick as possible |
| 7060s | yeah the gladiators end up holding onto |
| 7062s | their sound barrier there so we'll see |
| 7064s | if maybe they take a similar approach |
| 7066s | because you're gonna be in the same spot |
| 7068s | again right the barrier is gonna come |
| 7070s | here for the gladiators you still have a |
| 7072s | few players that are pretty far atlanta |
| 7074s | probably realizes that maybe they can |
| 7075s | make something out of this is |
| 7077s | yeah you see briner gets so low they're |
| 7079s | gonna have to back out |
| 7080s | they keep them alive crucially |
| 7082s | so the gladiators will get an even |
| 7083s | neutral gonna be venom this time looking |
| 7085s | for a flanking or a postman on a rhino |
| 7088s | here the focus seems to be just people |
| 7090s | towards the doomfist direction there |
| 7091s | runner has to medial strike out of that |
| 7093s | one he would have been toasty the way so |
| 7094s | he's gonna come down without that sound |
| 7095s | barrier but he flattens ultraviolet |
| 7097s | anyway eventually he trades himself for |
| 7099s | that kill but the gladiators want to |
| 7101s | make further use of the rest of their |
| 7102s | team being sound barriered up and so |
| 7105s | they go |
| 7106s | kai |
| 7107s | gotta get away there is kester opts not |
| 7108s | to push his advantage at least he just |
| 7110s | waits and ty doesn't have a health pack |
| 7111s | close enough and the gladiators have |
| 7113s | just snuck into the lead |
| 7115s | that is a huge play there from reiner |
| 7118s | solo gets hit with a pulse bomb then |
| 7121s | uses the meteor strike and on top of |
| 7123s | that just dodging the pulse pump ends up |
| 7125s | with a kill on ultraviolet as he's |
| 7127s | getting close to that nano that probably |
| 7129s | would have been able to keep hawk alive |
| 7130s | so hawk it's him with a biotic grenade |
| 7132s | going to try and try to stay alive for a |
| 7133s | little bit |
| 7134s | that was ultraviolet he hit both |
| 7136s | supports with that one and still kept |
| 7137s | his able to find his way in and remove |
| 7139s | the offending honor reiner gets that |
| 7140s | health pack but hulk's fine no one's |
| 7142s | pressuring the doomfist down right now |
| 7144s | because paddy you're kidding wouldn't |
| 7147s | achieve the butt scratch while the rain |
| 7148s | were busy elsewhere |
| 7151s | and he's gotten two years |
| 7154s | tempo g and hawk using the media |
| 7156s | straight to get back to prevent any more |
| 7158s | progress |
| 7160s | that is back breaking |
| 7162s | how did that happen the rain so caught |
| 7164s | up and i mean you saw hawk chasing rhino |
| 7167s | he's miles away from where the bot was |
| 7168s | and yet paddy just walks it in two kills |
| 7171s | you can't let that happen nine a game |
| 7173s | like this |
| 7174s | feels like every time as well that |
| 7176s | kepster is able to come up with a pick |
| 7177s | or two in the back line is |
| 7179s | here's gonna be that sound barrier |
| 7181s | engage again it's not gonna work out as |
| 7182s | well though paddy clean he hit so many |
| 7185s | of those rails during the overclock and |
| 7187s | he has one saved up for kai |
| 7189s | the rain need to get it together right |
| 7190s | now you can definitely see they're |
| 7192s | starting to fray at the edges somewhat |
| 7194s | and now the gladiators know they can |
| 7196s | scoot this spot in and out of the bridge |
| 7197s | awfully quickly |
| 7202s | because if you try and fight this if |
| 7204s | you're the atlanta reigns you see just a |
| 7205s | contest uh from the top of the bridge |
| 7207s | there is the gladiator |
| 7209s | but |
| 7210s | very powerful spot to contest you can |
| 7211s | sound barrier this thing nothing for it |
| 7213s | just run right over them and |
| 7215s | you're going to be looking at like |
| 7217s | 90 meters on the on |
| 7219s | turns your push so yeah i'm not able to |
| 7222s | use it they actually lose reiner i think |
| 7223s | he gets it with a biotic that's actually |
| 7225s | a big kill that's going to allow |
| 7226s | atlanta to get back on the offensive |
| 7230s | this is still anyone's game |
| 7233s | four minutes and 15 seconds left in the |
| 7234s | round so just over halfway through |
| 7236s | the rangers need to win a big fight |
| 7240s | may try and end it before it could even |
| 7241s | begin a pulse bomb here could be |
| 7243s | devastating everyone's kind of grouped |
| 7245s | up but they're able to get away from the |
| 7246s | pulse ultraviolet though a little bit |
| 7248s | too slow to avoid funny astro |
| 7250s | as he comes straight in that aggressive |
| 7252s | lucio we know him to be and the traits |
| 7254s | are favoring the gladiators here kept to |
| 7256s | get to the back line under perturbed and |
| 7258s | yet kai is still able to shut down the |
| 7260s | support that's huge for the rain they're |
| 7262s | still pushing we're about to yes venom |
| 7264s | is still here as well as he's able to |
| 7266s | pick up a kill so kepster though so |
| 7269s | clean it will finish off both damage |
| 7271s | dealers you have reiner coming back from |
| 7273s | the spawn |
| 7275s | it looked like maybe atlanta was able to |
| 7277s | make something out of that uh still |
| 7279s | they're gonna get in a spot where the |
| 7280s | the fight is not going to be you know |
| 7282s | deep in their territory of the map |
| 7284s | they're still going to have |
| 7286s | i know an opportunity to get this bot |
| 7287s | towards the other side rather quick from |
| 7289s | where this next fight's going to kick |
| 7290s | off |
| 7292s | 66 place 43 in meter ridge here's an |
| 7295s | overclock from kindly keep in mind as |
| 7297s | well allah sparks style |
| 7300s | invest in kai and you'll receive quite |
| 7302s | the dividends i'd say |
| 7304s | sure they're trying to cross |
| 7306s | kai will snap him up pretty quickly |
| 7308s | still not exactly where the gladiator |
| 7310s | the rain rather want to win the fight |
| 7311s | they'd like to be positioned further |
| 7313s | forward |
| 7315s | and that's you know kepster has been |
| 7316s | such a nuisance in the back line of the |
| 7318s | atlanta reign |
| 7320s | getting him out of the equation maybe |
| 7321s | you can start a few kills this is really |
| 7323s | good for the atlanta reign |
| 7325s | this is exactly what they're looking for |
| 7327s | now the sound barrier they can double |
| 7328s | down and try and get themselves to leak |
| 7330s | the bot is moving as we speak and hawk |
| 7332s | doesn't want to go too aggressive here |
| 7334s | he knows how important winning this |
| 7335s | fight is going to be for his team but |
| 7336s | reiner sends him off the bridge he'll |
| 7338s | drop down to try and contest but they've |
| 7339s | left battlefield to a pulse bomb from |
| 7341s | venom and here come the rain they're |
| 7342s | starting to push ryan is going to be |
| 7344s | caught in the back corner and a pulse |
| 7345s | bomb thrown a hawk is not enough to take |
| 7347s | him down look at the yellow line look at |
| 7349s | it it's so close then you need to deal |
| 7352s | with the personnel the top of the bridge |
| 7353s | and it's just funny astray they'll get |
| 7354s | there matt they'll have a butt scratch |
| 7356s | of their own |
| 7357s | and the gladiators are just throwing |
| 7359s | bodies at this and atlanta has been able |
| 7362s | to get a pic you know stay alive as now |
| 7364s | looks like the gladiators may be |
| 7365s | starting to fight back just a little bit |
| 7367s | uh but that is going to be the lead |
| 7369s | switched over |
| 7371s | not quite later oh no not quite yet it's |
| 7374s | difficult to see but it looks very close |
| 7377s | to being over towards the elena rain |
| 7379s | yeah frustrating for the rain the fact |
| 7381s | is the gladiators got a bit of extra |
| 7383s | push from paddy because he got those two |
| 7384s | kills in that previous situation there's |
| 7386s | also a yellow line on the ground |
| 7388s | the bot hasn't managed to lap the other |
| 7391s | teams it is i mean |
| 7393s | oh it's unreal i'm in 30. 90 seconds |
| 7396s | left |
| 7397s | and the gladiators are starting to make |
| 7399s | some big mistakes here players are |
| 7401s | getting caught out |
| 7403s | it seems like they're pressing a little |
| 7404s | bit too hard like you know they're |
| 7406s | they're obviously coming up with some |
| 7407s | big plays before individual moments but |
| 7410s | i know the time left on the clock and |
| 7412s | how much they were in the lead by they |
| 7413s | didn't really need that to happen this |
| 7414s | is going to be the toughest part because |
| 7415s | you can start contesting this from the |
| 7417s | high ground |
| 7420s | stuff gets a pulse uh rather a pulse |
| 7422s | bomb in the back pocket both teams with |
| 7424s | sound barriers here cancer doesn't |
| 7425s | connect the pulse though keep an eye on |
| 7427s | the numbers venom's able to dash back on |
| 7429s | to the bridge itself but ryder is taken |
| 7431s | down but still has a move because paddy |
| 7433s | part is turning up that's true already |
| 7435s | with the overclock inventors trying to |
| 7436s | hold his ground padding under a lot of |
| 7437s | pressure here but he gets a nano boost |
| 7439s | he's stuck he goes down as kai gets rid |
| 7441s | of funny astro as well in the rain |
| 7443s | finally break through reiner can contest |
| 7445s | from that high ground you're kidding |
| 7447s | ryder okay just the one hawk barely |
| 7449s | alive and the rain had the lead there's |
| 7451s | 30 seconds left |
| 7453s | and do you just back out here if you're |
| 7455s | atlanta absolutely i actually i actually |
| 7457s | like this move you back out i would |
| 7459s | probably you probably have to go like |
| 7461s | towards the choke right this first |
| 7463s | initial choke i play pretty far up here |
| 7466s | because if you lose that fight at least |
| 7467s | gives you one more attempt |
| 7471s | gladiators have to do a lot of work here |
| 7472s | catching hawk would be a great way to |
| 7474s | start but it gets away kai pops the |
| 7476s | overclock it's go time he says ryder |
| 7478s | trying to dodge away from but the |
| 7480s | gladiators need to stick to the bot for |
| 7481s | the time being they go aggressive on |
| 7483s | time but he slept right had to get over |
| 7484s | the meteor strike here he'll have to |
| 7486s | drop into a position to get healed and |
| 7488s | he can't he thinks he can get a kill |
| 7489s | there it's a big risk to take but |
| 7490s | there's a trade ultraviolet is down in a |
| 7493s | longer fight this isn't going to benefit |
| 7494s | the rain at all kai brought to his knees |
| 7497s | panapan trying to pressure those in his |
| 7498s | back line but venomous found two kills |
| 7500s | and they're both supports no healing |
| 7502s | left for the gladiators they gotta hold |
| 7504s | on regardless hawk is taken down kester |
| 7507s | gets a brace but look at these health |
| 7509s | bars |
| 7510s | oh this capture is so low he's going to |
| 7513s | there's a blade onto the carrier they're |
| 7514s | gonna get there are they gonna be able |
| 7516s | to touch no |
| 7518s | the gladiators get it in the final |
| 7520s | seconds it's just too far away |
| 7522s | for the rain to get there |
| 7525s | tantalizingly close and that's where the |
| 7527s | series ends |
| 7529s | it's a game of inches millimeters |
| 7531s | and the rain it's just out of their |
| 7534s | grasp |
| 7536s | dude they started to clutch up there at |
| 7537s | the end the atlanta reign |
| 7539s | just not enough and it's just kept sir |
| 7542s | and patty at the end we talked about you |
| 7544s | know these dps battles throughout this |
| 7546s | series |
| 7547s | uh and they come up clutch there at the |
| 7550s | end |
| 7551s | i think if you're the atlanta rain maybe |
| 7552s | you would have wanted to take that fight |
| 7554s | when you backed out a little bit closer |
| 7555s | towards the gladiator side of the map |
| 7557s | and uh you know giving yourself a full |
| 7559s | wipe as i think the elena ray know |
| 7561s | that that is one that they battled back |
| 7563s | and maybe have given away |
| 7566s | because that is a |
| 7567s | you know a really tough close series |
| 7569s | between these teams and i know you gotta |
| 7572s | feel for atlanta they battled back in |
| 7574s | that map specifically |
| 7576s | uh thought they had a chance to move on |
| 7578s | but gladiators too strong |
| 7581s | oh man |
| 7582s | there will always be a what if there for |
| 7585s | the atlanta rain it was just so close |
| 7586s | and here come the handshakes now what an |
| 7589s | incredibly close match the only sad part |
| 7592s | is that we couldn't see it go to all |
| 7594s | five let's talk about a player of the |
| 7596s | match though here matthew someone will |
| 7597s | be talked up extensively in the first |
| 7599s | map for a good reason and then the final |
| 7601s | moments the 3k |
| 7603s | to put his team into the grand finals |
| 7606s | it's your boy kevster |
| 7608s | uh just unreal on the tracer |
| 7611s | the desk was saying they needed to see |
| 7612s | kepser bring it today really pop off |
| 7615s | kind of ascend to the level we know that |
| 7617s | we've seen him play |
| 7619s | i think in this series uh he definitely |
| 7621s | did that and i thought you saw like more |
| 7623s | towards the end of that bush map like |
| 7625s | venom started to heat up right uh to |
| 7628s | where no it was difficult for the |
| 7630s | gladiators to just bounce back and |
| 7632s | really fight against venom's tracer but |
| 7635s | captur bringing it all series along was |
| 7637s | specifically dominant those first that |
| 7639s | first man |
| 7640s | they're forced to be pretty flexible |
| 7642s | over the course of this series picking |
| 7644s | up the sojourn while paddy played the |
| 7645s | tracer uh there were a few sort of roll |
| 7648s | mix-ups here and there but 15 |
| 7651s | 15 final blows per 10 |
| 7654s | is absolutely |
| 7656s | disgusting |
| 7658s | and he's able to stay alive for so long |
| 7660s | i mean the deaths are low final blows |
| 7663s | are up there you know the pulse bomb |
| 7665s | attach rate very strong |
| 7667s | uh you know |
| 7668s | everybody talks about like proper and i |
| 7670s | think deservingly so |
| 7672s | uh this next matchup though between |
| 7674s | cancer and proper it's going to be |
| 7675s | pretty close i mean kepser i think |
| 7677s | somehow somehow i think kevster went |
| 7679s | from like |
| 7681s | underrated to like properly rated to |
| 7683s | then like you know people kind of like |
| 7686s | underrating him again but like |
| 7688s | he is still one of the the best dps |
| 7690s | players we have in the because he's he's |
| 7692s | an understated personnel yeah there are |
| 7694s | a few of those in the league here they |
| 7696s | don't make waves until they get into the |
| 7698s | server |
| 7699s | i also think it's because they have them |
| 7700s | on tracer most of the time like we've |
| 7702s | seen him play other heroes at such a |
| 7704s | high level as well |
| 7706s | uh that |
| 7707s | you know it's something that they |
| 7708s | haven't had to |
| 7710s | dive into yet but i mean his hero pulls |
| 7712s | so deep |
| 7714s | man i mean incredible series and what |
| 7716s | could have been what could have been |
| 7718s | ladies and gentlemen it could have been |
| 7719s | a map five and it's gonna be a tough |
| 7721s | pill to swallow for the atlanta reign |
| 7722s | but now we get the salty run back that's |
| 7725s | right two teams that know each other |
| 7726s | pretty well at this point are going to |
| 7727s | be going head-to-head on our finals of |
| 7729s | the mid-season madness don't go too far |
| 7731s | that is coming up real soon |
| 7735s | the overwatch league is brought to you |
| 7737s | by the university of hawaii at manoa go |
| 7740s | to take me to manoa.org today |

| 7987s | welcome to game break everybody i'm here |
| 7989s | with shu from los angeles gladiators for |
| 7991s | the post match interview show |
| 7992s | congratulations on the win that was a |
| 7994s | clean 3-1 victory for the gladiators now |
| 7997s | how'd you guys get it done |
| 8005s | [Music] |
| 8008s | oh |
| 8028s | all right um i think first first things |
| 8030s | first um i think we always think that we |
| 8032s | are a great team uh the other opponents |
| 8034s | were really good too but we always uh |
| 8036s | tell ourselves that we are a really |
| 8037s | great team we're always better for |
| 8039s | better than our opponent so i think that |
| 8041s | really came in clutch oh not only that |
| 8042s | for me personally i really wanted the |
| 8045s | revenge against the san francisco shock |
| 8047s | so that was sort of my drive so i think |
| 8048s | i focused up really well i think all of |
| 8050s | our |
| 8051s | teammates as well did bob really really |
| 8053s | well uh with the same thoughts so i |
| 8054s | think that also helped a lot you |
| 8056s | mentioned about the revenge so my next |
| 8058s | quest question is actually about that so |
| 8061s | yesterday you guys lost to san francisco |
| 8062s | but you guys are moving up and it's time |
| 8064s | for some some revenge uh our next match |
| 8067s | is going to be the mid-season madness |
| 8070s | finals gladiators versus the san |
| 8072s | francisco shock now what can the |
| 8074s | gladiators do this uh differently this |
| 8076s | time around too or in order for you guys |
| 8078s | to get the revenge and also |
| 8093s | [Music] |
| 8109s | [Music] |
| 8120s | all right i do think that um i think one |
| 8122s | of the biggest mistakes that we made was |
| 8124s | we made a lot of mistakes our opponents |
| 8126s | san francisco shock they weren't perfect |
| 8128s | either they made a lot of mistakes but |
| 8129s | we made more i think that that's what |
| 8131s | led the gladiators team to lose uh for |
| 8134s | this match however i do want to say give |
| 8136s | me one second let me follow up i sort of |
| 8138s | forgot my translation |
| 8153s | saying that yesterday was a san |
| 8154s | francisco shock day but tonight or today |
| 8157s | is going to be the gladiators day all |
| 8159s | right thank you so much for the time and |
| 8161s | big congratulations on the win and also |
| 8169s | and with that being said let's take it |
| 8170s | back to the desk thank you |
| 8172s | [Music] |
| 8175s | thank you very much danny and listen we |
| 8177s | all forget sometimes i forget that i'm |
| 8179s | stuck with these two for the rest of the |
| 8180s | day and then i'm stuck then i am |
| 8182s | reminded with that rude rude awakening |
| 8185s | when i look over and see these grandma |
| 8187s | couch print suits how dare you |
| 8190s | we do look like a cat we are trend |
| 8192s | setters yeah yeah we are we are defining |
| 8196s | no honestly the people need to know you |
| 8198s | chose these for us |
| 8199s | she chose these so if you think we look |
| 8201s | ridiculous it's her fault if you think |
| 8202s | we look great it's her fault so you know |
| 8205s | you take all the blame i i take all the |
| 8206s | blame and i take all the credit but |
| 8208s | again gladiators should be taking the |
| 8210s | credit right now with that 3-1 victory |
| 8212s | over the atlanta reign you know shout |
| 8214s | out to the rain they did have a really |
| 8216s | great uh run throughout that lower |
| 8218s | bracket but just when it comes to the |
| 8219s | gladiators as we saw especially just |
| 8221s | like in that last map right there |
| 8223s | couldn't quite touch the point and just |
| 8224s | let the wind slip through the rain's |
| 8226s | fingers yeah that was that last team |
| 8229s | fight was so close i think it was it |
| 8231s | reiner and uh sorry cancer |
| 8234s | paddy paddy came out of that with |
| 8236s | probably like 30 health combined |
| 8239s | and they just couldn't get back to the |
| 8241s | point if the atlanta reign had been able |
| 8243s | to just be a little bit faster they |
| 8245s | would have been back to the point |
| 8246s | potentially could have held and with the |
| 8248s | difference of spawn advantage it could |
| 8249s | have gone either way and we could have |
| 8251s | gone to a map five but alas here we are |
| 8253s | with a 3-1 victory to the los angeles |
| 8255s | gladiators and they came out fast here |
| 8258s | on the first map on elios and it looked |
| 8260s | like oh |
| 8261s | is atlanta going to be able to show up |
| 8263s | in this series and we went over to |
| 8265s | king's row which was a great pick for |
| 8266s | them because the gladiators just did not |
| 8269s | feel comfortable on this map and that |
| 8270s | might come |
| 8271s | to bear as well in the upcoming series |
| 8273s | against the san francisco shock because |
| 8275s | you know we have castro and paddy pan |
| 8277s | sort of switching roles they didn't |
| 8279s | really understand how they wanted to |
| 8280s | play on this map and the atlanta reign |
| 8282s | did a great job of capitalizing on this |
| 8284s | with hawke being able to switch over to |
| 8286s | that sigma watchpoint gibraltar would it |
| 8288s | was the most watched point gibraltar map |
| 8290s | i've ever seen in my life i don't know |
| 8292s | how many times we've seen full holds and |
| 8294s | this wasn't even really a major failure |
| 8296s | by the atlanta reign more just you |
| 8298s | really get one good team fight with your |
| 8300s | ultimates just not able to come through |
| 8302s | with a great play from skewed on the uh |
| 8305s | los angeles gladiators and that was an |
| 8307s | easy third map for them and then |
| 8309s | gladiators go over to carcio and the |
| 8311s | rest is history but you need to give |
| 8313s | credit to atlanta right they've had an |
| 8314s | incredible run through the lower bracket |
| 8316s | they've shown their ability to just show |
| 8318s | up in the playoffs time and time again |
| 8320s | and honestly if they've gone to map five |
| 8322s | it could have easily been their game to |
| 8323s | take to meet san francisco shock so you |
| 8326s | know i i just want to give this team one |
| 8328s | more bit of love and excited to see more |
| 8329s | of them in the future because there are |
| 8331s | great players on this roster that we |
| 8333s | didn't even see in these playoffs you |
| 8334s | know we have gator and nero just sort of |
| 8336s | sitting there on the bench we have |
| 8338s | speedily coming of age two oh as well |
| 8340s | that sometimes we forget about so great |
| 8342s | things to come from them moving forward |
| 8344s | yeah definitely especially we do have to |
| 8347s | pay attention to the fact that of the 12 |
| 8348s | teams that came in atlanta rain was the |
| 8350s | ninth seed taking on the second seed and |
| 8352s | still looking very good i told you this |
| 8355s | is what they do |
| 8358s | every time he also told me that the |
| 8359s | fusion would get second but |
| 8361s | yeah |
| 8362s | i feel like the atlanta rain or fusion |
| 8364s | look better like they never win but they |
| 8366s | got top four in the past six tournaments |
| 8369s | wow that is crazy consistency from the |
| 8371s | atlanta range so they never win any |
| 8373s | tournaments themselves |
| 8374s | but you have to give so much |
| 8377s | credit and respect the other terrain for |
| 8379s | always being there competing with the |
| 8381s | likes of the alligators the san |
| 8382s | francisco shock dallas fuel tank and |
| 8384s | dragons last year of course the atlanta |
| 8386s | reign they're always among the mix and |
| 8388s | that is so hard to do consistently but |
| 8390s | they pull it off again and in that |
| 8392s | interview that we just had we heard him |
| 8393s | say that listen like yesterday that was |
| 8395s | the day of san francisco wasn't really |
| 8397s | there for the gladiators even though san |
| 8399s | francisco made a couple mistakes |
| 8401s | gladiators are making mistakes as well |
| 8403s | but let's talk about some great stuff |
| 8404s | that we did see especially from shu yeah |
| 8407s | so as for the individual skill |
| 8409s | difference i think we can all agree that |
| 8411s | kevster was the individually skilled |
| 8413s | more damaged player for the elegance i |
| 8415s | made a huge difference maker you know |
| 8417s | player of the match but |
| 8418s | in my mind strategically and tactically |
| 8421s | the biggest difference make it worse |
| 8422s | shoe and i saw this so many times |
| 8424s | throughout this series i think on the |
| 8426s | ilios alone i caught it like five |
| 8428s | different times when shu purposefully |
| 8431s | bionated hawk and it pushed the atlanta |
| 8433s | rain back so much and it meant that they |
| 8435s | couldn't really push up the pace they |
| 8437s | couldn't really pull off these dives as |
| 8439s | successfully as the la gladiators so not |
| 8441s | only do you have a venom getting tracer |
| 8444s | diff versus kevster if venom says well i |
| 8447s | don't want to take the tracer duel i |
| 8448s | just want to dive in with hawk shu |
| 8450s | always push the atlanta rain back with |
| 8452s | this biomates it was very purposefully |
| 8454s | done to push the atlantean back and not |
| 8457s | allow them to push up the tempo not |
| 8458s | allow them to |
| 8460s | you know sort of like surpass all these |
| 8461s | individual skill match-ups instead it |
| 8464s | meant that hawk had to slow down he |
| 8465s | couldn't get healed up and he was always |
| 8468s | set back by the back line of the |
| 8469s | alligators this was the big tactical |
| 8472s | difference maker in this entire series |
| 8474s | in my opinion and it's no surprise that |
| 8476s | land terrain looked a little bit better |
| 8477s | on king's row hawk being able to play |
| 8478s | the sigma well now you have a shield in |
| 8480s | front of you we saw a highlight earlier |
| 8482s | where he absorbed one of the bayonets |
| 8484s | and so the king's roadmap it just |
| 8486s | operates differently when it comes to |
| 8489s | vyana versus hawk matchup in this |
| 8491s | scenario but colosseo gibraltar and |
| 8493s | elios it was very clear to me that shu |
| 8496s | was the biggest difference maker on the |
| 8497s | la gladys you can see here the stats |
| 8500s | themselves 10.6 offensive assists for 10 |
| 8502s | minutes i believe the word was 4.7 |
| 8505s | biotic grenade kills per 10 minutes from |
| 8507s | shu and also i mean the healing is there |
| 8510s | 11.1 eliminations 10k healing for 10 |
| 8512s | minutes i think shu had an incredibly |
| 8515s | great performance against the atlanta |
| 8517s | reign and while it's not you know as |
| 8519s | many highlights as a tracer popping off |
| 8521s | she would deserve some massive amounts |
| 8522s | of credit for the work he did here |
| 8524s | against the atlanta terrain i'm not |
| 8525s | allowing atlanta rain to even get things |
| 8527s | going in the first place yeah and |
| 8528s | looking forward i'm interested to see |
| 8529s | how that's going to play out in this |
| 8530s | next match because that is one of the |
| 8532s | values that colluge gets especially when |
| 8534s | playing that diva he has that defense |
| 8536s | matrix to eat that and you could see |
| 8538s | skewed and shu was struggling in that |
| 8540s | series i'm curious to see that |
| 8542s | adaptation they're going to make because |
| 8543s | it's a very different team the atlanta |
| 8545s | rain going into the san francisco shock |
| 8547s | so as you just said shu said they made a |
| 8549s | lot of mistakes can they tighten those |
| 8551s | up and can they find solutions to what |
| 8553s | the shock is going to provide and again |
| 8554s | i think since that interview i believe |
| 8557s | we have about 30 minutes of a break for |
| 8559s | our players to get set up it's a little |
| 8561s | bit shorter than you know a full day |
| 8563s | turnaround but hopefully this is where |
| 8565s | the team can reset understand and maybe |
| 8568s | identify some of the mistakes they made |
| 8569s | yesterday and make sure that they did |
| 8571s | that they aren't going to repeat them |
| 8573s | going into this next match but everyone |
| 8575s | i've been told that there is a very |
| 8577s | special video that's coming up next one |
| 8579s | that puts |
| 8581s | both of your analytical and overwatch |
| 8583s | knowledge to the test i'm excited to see |
| 8586s | it everyone let's go ahead and take a |
| 8587s | look at an overwatch |
| 8590s | are you all good danny you ready i am |

| 8614s | overwatch as a whole |
| 8616s | and we'll see where they rack up we got |
| 8618s | a leaderboard from episode one custer is |
| 8621s | in the lead with five points johnny with |
| 8623s | four zoe with three and daddy |

| 8657s | not lost like exactly |
| 8659s | uh danny is currently in last place with |
| 8661s | two points so there's a bigger gap there |
| 8664s | yeah you know it's always a toss-up |
| 8666s | between soy or danny being lost just |

| 9233s | we're gonna lose we're talking about |
| 9234s | overwatch or something right oh yeah |
| 9237s | something about the finals |
| 9239s | just the mid-season madness finals where |
| 9242s | we're getting that salty run back of the |
| 9244s | gladiators fighting their way through |
| 9245s | the losers bracket to take on the san |
| 9247s | francisco shock in that grand final |
| 9250s | match and i think you were the one who |
| 9251s | was most excited uh yesterday after |
| 9253s | watching the gladiators fall down |
| 9255s | because you're like oh there's no way |
| 9256s | they're gonna make it back up there oh |
| 9258s | yeah and you could tell you just you saw |
| 9260s | that match |
| 9261s | capster is angry okay and proper is |
| 9264s | crazy kev's just angry |
| 9267s | daisy we got a grand finals coming up |
| 9269s | it's going to be a banger of a match we |
| 9271s | talked about it you showed it in the |
| 9272s | pre-show proper got the edge over |
| 9275s | kempster on that tracer head to head i |
| 9277s | want to see them run back it's a salty |
| 9278s | run back but then of course we got the |
| 9280s | reiner college head to head let's see |
| 9282s | how close they can get up in this uh in |
| 9284s | this one but honestly it's just going to |
| 9285s | be a great match you're asking how close |
| 9287s | they can get i think we saw how close |
| 9288s | that they completely |
| 9290s | they can get very close get onto twitter |
| 9292s | right now look at both of the team's uh |
| 9294s | twitter profile photos i think right now |
| 9296s | and you'll definitely know i think we |
| 9297s | also shared a nice little clip in the |
| 9299s | pre-show so go ahead rewind you're on |
| 9301s | youtube you can do that uh but johnny |
| 9304s | thought's going into this match we |
| 9305s | touched on it before the novel wars |
| 9307s | video uh because i mentioned it of |
| 9308s | course that kalush has been playing some |
| 9310s | diva this tournament i think we'll see |
| 9312s | more of that come this very much it is |
| 9314s | so ridiculously hard to match the fast |
| 9317s | tempo of the ali gladiators so well if |
| 9319s | you're not going to outpace them you |
| 9321s | might as well slow things down and try |
| 9322s | to get some defensive benefits your way |
| 9325s | collusion has been one of the only |
| 9326s | players the entire tournament to bring |
| 9327s | out the diva and you can see for the |
| 9329s | stats yourself they're not you know the |
| 9330s | shiniest stats ever it's not like he's |
| 9332s | racking up all these eliminations and |
| 9334s | final blows for 10 minutes but the way |
| 9336s | he's supporting his team with the |
| 9338s | defense matrix peeling for the likes of |
| 9340s | kilo and sam who have ridiculous |
| 9342s | mechanical skill sets when it comes to |
| 9343s | the soldier and the ash and also like |
| 9345s | you have one of the best backlines in |
| 9347s | the game with finn and violet that's a |
| 9348s | win condition and if you can support |
| 9350s | that win condition with that defense |
| 9352s | matrix you can buy enough time to peel |
| 9355s | off kepster and to peel off all these |
| 9357s | styles coming through like rain reiner |
| 9359s | for example so maybe we'll see the shock |
| 9361s | lean more on the diva but one final |
| 9363s | analytical point we also need to hit on |
| 9365s | is funny astros impact on the lucio |
| 9367s | because even dating back to yesterday |
| 9369s | the couple maps that the lag gliders won |
| 9371s | was the maps when funny assert was up |
| 9373s | there yeah when he's able to play that |
| 9375s | fast speed tempo it doesn't feel like |
| 9376s | the shocker perfectly ready for it |
| 9378s | violet is a flex support player who |
| 9380s | doesn't really want to go over to the |
| 9382s | lucio he will do it if he's required to |
| 9384s | but i agree with that but on my hand i |
| 9387s | like the funny astro lucio but the |
| 9389s | linchpin for them i said it in the |
| 9390s | pre-show with rainer and he did just |
| 9392s | struggle with the same thing his job is |
| 9394s | to go aggressive create that space but |
| 9396s | sometimes he's going down too fast not |
| 9398s | staying alive long enough so i want to |
| 9400s | see that from him in this match johnny i |
| 9401s | want to pose a question to you because i |
| 9402s | think something that you brought up |
| 9403s | yesterday i believe it was with the |
| 9405s | fusion in relation to them winning their |
| 9408s | earlier match then having to play that |
| 9410s | final match of the day you brought up |
| 9411s | the point of like you know you get the |
| 9412s | adrenaline pumping at the beginning of |
| 9414s | the day and you have a couple hours in |
| 9415s | between you kind of like fall off maybe |
| 9417s | you get a little sleepy and then you end |
| 9419s | up not having that performance now we're |
| 9421s | looking at the gladiators who just had |
| 9422s | their uh winning map off of the rain or |
| 9425s | winning series off of the rain |
| 9427s | they've built up that momentum do you |
| 9428s | think that they could keep that momentum |
| 9430s | and adrenaline pumping forward into this |
| 9431s | next match or do you think that there's |
| 9433s | any |
| 9434s | mental obstacles that could pop up for |
| 9435s | them i'm pumping out thing with my |
| 9437s | biochemistry |
| 9440s | caffeine i i have all the knowledge no |
| 9442s | but really like i you know this is all |
| 9445s | secondhand information right or |
| 9446s | anecdotal information rather but like |
| 9449s | that match between the l gladiators and |
| 9451s | the advantage we just saw it's not as |
| 9453s | like you know draining for the players |
| 9456s | so the alligators in this case as you |
| 9457s | said they are warmed up they're ready to |
| 9459s | go they're feeling good kevster's like |
| 9461s | oh i dominated on ilios i had such a |
| 9463s | great time and now carrying that |
| 9465s | momentum forward it's very different |
| 9467s | from the fusion who like |
| 9469s | wow we barely like you know came out |
| 9471s | alive from that one and then you get |
| 9472s | like two hours to digest and you're like |
| 9474s | oh am i hungry am i thirsty |
| 9476s | i don't know what's going on like |
| 9478s | every everything's a blur the other |
| 9480s | gladiators in this case they are warmed |
| 9482s | up and they're ready to go and also |
| 9484s | i would not be surprised if they went |
| 9486s | back to the hotel last night and they're |
| 9488s | like we need to find out what went wrong |
| 9489s | and they're already prepared they know |
| 9491s | what they're going to execute on going |
| 9493s | into this match up so they're like |
| 9494s | ladders you can even make a case that |
| 9496s | like they have the momentum benefit |
| 9498s | going into this magikarp i i completely |
| 9500s | agree with johnny from my experience |
| 9502s | when i did have to play long days |
| 9503s | playing back to back is actually not as |
| 9505s | bad as having that like big window of a |
| 9508s | break in the middle because what can |
| 9509s | happen there is you lose that adrenaline |
| 9511s | you lose that momentum and then as |
| 9513s | johnny said you kind of want to like |
| 9514s | take a nap or you kind of want to like |
| 9516s | reset yourself but it can be hard to get |
| 9518s | back from that it's almost like they |
| 9520s | just came out of a scrim they've just |
| 9521s | warmed up they're ready to go i think |
| 9523s | the gladiators if anything is in a more |
| 9525s | advantageous spot in this situation were |
| 9526s | you a player |
| 9528s | stop asking me this yeah anyway i want |
| 9530s | only stage four victor ever to happen |
| 9533s | sort of yeah |
| 9534s | we've got the predictions for our final |
| 9537s | match of the day so let's go ahead and |
| 9539s | show them to all of you although i think |
| 9541s | we all know who is going to take this |
| 9543s | one what |
| 9545s | all right you did call san francisco but |
| 9547s | daddy and zoey |
| 9550s | well i mean i i think you know |
| 9552s | is it too simplistic to just say they |
| 9554s | beat them yesterday like |
| 9556s | a pretty good fashion as well i will say |
| 9560s | i do think it was interesting |
| 9562s | that the shock picked illios as their |
| 9565s | first map yesterday knowing that the la |
| 9568s | gladiators played funny astro on that |
| 9570s | map and beat the spark on it but also if |
| 9573s | you lose control that means you can pick |
| 9575s | eichenwald that's your second map so |
| 9576s | maybe that was just another attempt to |
| 9579s | like get starting a map get some more |
| 9581s | practice time versus delusio figure out |
| 9583s | how to deal with it i'm just i'm just |
| 9585s | speculating over here but maybe they'll |
| 9588s | go for oasis or lee jung this time |
| 9590s | around knowing how dangerous financial |
| 9592s | can be they did win oasis in the last |
| 9593s | series so they could definitely go there |
| 9595s | first as the number one seed yeah all |
| 9596s | right well i believe at the beginning of |
| 9598s | the week uh scott you would call the |
| 9600s | gladiators the satiaters yeah i'm |
| 9602s | switching that name to the zadiators i |
| 9605s | think that's it i think that they can go |
| 9607s | the distance and take this final and |
| 9609s | we're going to get into that match right |
| 9611s | after we take a quick break but don't go |
| 9613s | anywhere because the moment that you all |
| 9615s | have been waiting for is coming up next |
| 9617s | stick around |
| 9620s | on watching is brought to you by upper |
| 9622s | deck the official trading card of the |

| 9865s | [Music] |
| 9877s | and welcome back everybody it is the |
| 9880s | moment that you and we and everybody has |
| 9882s | been waiting for the grand final here |
| 9884s | the mid season madness tournament in the |
| 9886s | san francisco shock going up against the |
| 9888s | la gladiators who have persevered albeit |
| 9891s | through a brief run in the lower bracket |
| 9893s | now we get a rematch of the upper final |
| 9895s | i'm achilles i'm joined as always by |
| 9896s | avril and we'll be guiding you through |
| 9898s | this best of seven series |
| 9901s | six days to get here 12 teams from |
| 9903s | across the world and we finally reached |
| 9904s | the top two when it's bracket final |
| 9906s | rematch here for both of our squads the |
| 9908s | l.a gladius and the san francisco shock |
| 9911s | themselves who are the most decorated |
| 9913s | franchise in the overwatch league's |
| 9914s | history three stage titles two |
| 9917s | championships looking to add one more to |
| 9919s | the tally now alley gladiators are |
| 9921s | defending champions from the kick off |
| 9922s | clash they come through for the lower |
| 9923s | bracket defeating the atlanta reign now |
| 9925s | looking for revenge in our finals it was |
| 9928s | a 3-2 last time that these guys did |
| 9930s | clash and it wasn't very long ago either |
| 9932s | so very well could have a repeat of that |
| 9934s | in this first four series i of course |
| 9936s | i'm hoping for that you know fingers |
| 9938s | crossed that this one can go the |
| 9939s | distance show me a 4-3 score line don't |
| 9941s | care who walks away victorious at the |
| 9943s | end of it all i just want to see some |
| 9945s | back and forth action between the two |
| 9947s | best teams in the overwatch league right |
| 9949s | now here's the starting five for the |
| 9950s | side of the gladiator so we did just get |
| 9952s | to see take down the reigns gonna be |
| 9954s | funny astro starting on support paddy |
| 9956s | pen in over ons |
| 9959s | standard five coming on through funny |
| 9960s | astro has been a critical player on this |
| 9963s | team putting them a handful of maps to |
| 9965s | come backs onto coliseum that's happened |
| 9966s | twice now it is uncanny what the ali |
| 9968s | gladius can do on that map look out for |
| 9970s | that one a little bit later on i |
| 9971s | guarantee it'll be on the dock it |
| 9973s | probably map number four |
| 9975s | now seven map series today again hoping |
| 9977s | that it does indeed go the distance to |
| 9979s | la gladiators from uh my little look |
| 9982s | into their team map drafting strategy |
| 9984s | should be after map number one if they |
| 9986s | do win it should be shot going towards |
| 9988s | icon world otherwise ladies looking to |
| 9990s | play midtown they want to go towards |
| 9992s | gibraltar as well avoiding circuit |
| 9994s | royale that to me is going to be a key |
| 9995s | swing map in this particular series |
| 9997s | shock looks fantastic |
| 9998s | on royale gladiators not so much |
| 10001s | colosseum though is a map that both |
| 10004s | teams have been proficient on but again |
| 10005s | i hide the gladiators their ability to |
| 10007s | make comebacks on their map is |
| 10009s | absolutely wild |
| 10011s | well here's the starting five for the |
| 10013s | side of the san francisco shock nothing |
| 10015s | too |
| 10016s | uh surprising obviously here as we know |
| 10018s | sam proper mikey finn and violet to kick |
| 10021s | things off in this series violet has |
| 10024s | been guiding these rookies to a victory |
| 10026s | i'll just have to see if they can close |
| 10028s | this one out obviously fell shy of the |
| 10030s | mark during the kickoff clash did get |
| 10031s | knocked down did get eliminated by i |
| 10033s | believe the dallas fuel but now they are |
| 10036s | looking so much more comfortable in the |
| 10037s | current meta |
| 10038s | you know these players have certainly |
| 10040s | matured and we're getting to the stage |
| 10041s | we're invited and the rookies are coming |
| 10043s | into championship caliber play |
| 10045s | for some of these young players it will |
| 10047s | be the first time on the international |
| 10049s | stage |
| 10051s | against 12 teams over the course of six |
| 10053s | days again now finally in their finals |
| 10055s | they've done so without dropping a |
| 10058s | single match in fact |
| 10060s | the count is currently correct this is a |
| 10062s | nine match win streak for the san |
| 10065s | francisco shock they have not dropped a |
| 10066s | single series for nine matches in a row |
| 10069s | the last time they lost was versus the |
| 10071s | dallas feel in the mid-season not rather |
| 10073s | the kickoff clash tournament stage in |
| 10075s | texas that you sort of mentioned there |
| 10076s | since then completely flawless |
| 10079s | and i mean could you expect expect |
| 10082s | really any other organization to be able |
| 10083s | to pull this off this is of course the |
| 10084s | team that back in 2019 pulled off the |
| 10086s | golden stage as it had to be you know |
| 10088s | made we had to invent that title for |
| 10090s | them because they didn't drop a single |
| 10092s | series throughout an entire stage they |
| 10094s | have been looking absolutely incredible |
| 10097s | and one of the biggest matchups that i'm |
| 10099s | so excited to see once more is gonna be |
| 10101s | proper versus kepster these guys are of |
| 10103s | course yeah on opposite sides of the |
| 10104s | rooms there's gonna be smack talk flying |
| 10106s | from opposite sides you can see finn |
| 10107s | it's already happening that right there |
| 10109s | and uh yeah it has begun and i can't |
| 10111s | wait to see what it looks like as well |
| 10113s | when we actually get into games because |
| 10114s | this is already spicing up |
| 10116s | absolutely padpan's trying to hear |
| 10118s | what's going on the other side or maybe |
| 10119s | his own coaches but in either case look |
| 10121s | like you mentioned kepster versus proper |
| 10123s | they'll be in the entire way through |
| 10125s | neither these players will be subbed out |
| 10127s | for the majority of the seven match or |
| 10128s | all the seven maps |
| 10130s | both top their players both getting for |
| 10132s | an mvp award and i do believe the |
| 10135s | results this time the results of this |
| 10136s | particular matchup will heavily sway fan |
| 10139s | favor personality flavor towards who is |
| 10142s | the top dog who has got their dog in |
| 10144s | them to get those awards but here we are |
| 10147s | seven maps on board first map choice |
| 10149s | being selected by the san francisco shot |
| 10150s | going towards elios a very even map for |
| 10153s | both teams if this was the gladiator |
| 10155s | selecting third first map i strongly |
| 10157s | believe it would also be earlier so not |
| 10160s | necessarily favoring either team here |
| 10161s | but we do get an early look from mikey |
| 10164s | and sam before we get collugin for the |
| 10166s | next map and this is where the glads |
| 10168s | also get to start with funny asterisks |
| 10169s | so something that they want to do as |
| 10171s | much as possible the series |
| 10174s | as you can see there for all the marbles |
| 10176s | just yesterday where they squared off |
| 10179s | went all the way to five gladiators |
| 10181s | narrowly |
| 10182s | missing out |
| 10183s | having that auto seat forward into the |
| 10184s | grand finals the shock did manage to |
| 10186s | maintain that match win streak we have |
| 10189s | the number one number two seeds coming |
| 10191s | into the event now squaring |
| 10193s | off all to play for achilleos ellie |
| 10195s | glady's looking to defend their title |
| 10197s | from the kick off clash in the san |
| 10198s | francisco shot |
| 10200s | back on top of the world |
| 10202s | map number one going to be elias well it |
| 10205s | is ryanair winston versus mikey winston |
| 10207s | as well no ball today about it coming |
| 10209s | through on the lucio sam on the echo as |
| 10211s | expected but watch out for the two |
| 10212s | traces proper and kepster |
| 10215s | definitely the ones to keep our eyes |
| 10216s | peeled on paddy bad of course on this |
| 10218s | very map not quite this sub |
| 10220s | was able to have an immense amount of |
| 10222s | impact and helping to gain a victory |
| 10223s | with that get cheaper proper he's drawn |
| 10225s | first blood shutting down kepster first |
| 10226s | and foremost up over the top just |
| 10228s | pour some sticky bombs over towards |
| 10230s | shield not gonna be able to find that |
| 10231s | execute but now but down a member of the |
| 10233s | gladiators going to have to take this a |
| 10235s | little bit slowly let's do man should |
| 10237s | get some quarter pressure here applied |
| 10238s | to the point to keep this contested and |
| 10239s | stop the shock from being able to gain |
| 10241s | some free percentage off the rim diving |
| 10243s | through from mikey from moving their way |
| 10245s | through the cap nearly there they can |
| 10247s | just clear the point for a brief moment |
| 10248s | they'll be able to grab it and they do |
| 10250s | crawford starts sticking around the back |
| 10252s | lines they've noted him exactly where |
| 10254s | he's gonna be playing through but in the |
| 10255s | meantime a couple people are focused in |
| 10257s | over towards proper that supports in |
| 10259s | particular reiner goes down that paddock |
| 10261s | gonna get cleaned up as well so the |
| 10262s | shock winning out handily in the fight |
| 10264s | really good defense by a gladiator |
| 10266s | totally sold on to the point for some |
| 10267s | time before the shot could actually get |
| 10268s | a cap that's going to slow down progress |
| 10270s | for the shock |
| 10271s | but in the other stage as well you see |
| 10273s | gladiators coming back in with a full |
| 10274s | five of the kips that gets first blooded |
| 10276s | they still cannot get a frag on board |
| 10279s | ryder falls over and the alley |
| 10280s | gladiators unfortunately are going to |
| 10282s | lose that cap 30 accounting now for |
| 10283s | shock proper has the first pulse from |
| 10285s | the first ultimate of the game finn |
| 10286s | nearly on that nano as well |
| 10290s | inside proper gonna be going low the |
| 10291s | recall's still available one time hold |
| 10292s | on to it but as he dashes |
| 10295s | he does very much the same cuts him down |
| 10297s | to size it's very much the fight victory |
| 10299s | here for the side of the gladiators to |
| 10300s | clean up three players mikey as well |
| 10302s | sliver of eight ping for the because |
| 10304s | they said sam gonna dash and duck around |
| 10306s | here on the point build up towards that |
| 10307s | duplicate won't be allowed to do so it's |
| 10308s | a clean 50 percent established for the |
| 10310s | shock as gladiators take charge |
| 10313s | very aggressive there islamic gladiators |
| 10314s | you just see from propis pov reinikem |
| 10316s | out of nowhere the instant damage the |
| 10318s | burst the proper takes them down no |
| 10320s | early pulse bomb advantages anymore |
| 10321s | kipps is caught up now |
| 10323s | gladiators with the lucio in hand |
| 10325s | keeping the pace as quick as possible |
| 10327s | both narrows online both nano is likely |
| 10329s | to go towards the winston players |
| 10331s | looking up towards those primals sam as |
| 10332s | well for the |
| 10336s | also about to be here for the side of |
| 10337s | the gladiators which can be instrumental |
| 10339s | in them holding this point trying to |
| 10341s | catch up already |
| 10343s | getting it up to 30 percent as the nano |
| 10344s | goes out of the mikey he's going to be |
| 10345s | taking a nap robert does manage to find |
| 10347s | bunny |
| 10348s | traded but now no supports inside the |
| 10350s | gladiator there's a great pulse bomb out |
| 10352s | knocks them both down turns his sights |
| 10354s | over to canister forces the recall just |
| 10356s | back up the void b and paddy bennett's |
| 10357s | just trying to make his way out mikey |
| 10358s | manages to pursue deep enough get the |
| 10360s | kill here onto the enemy energy cleanup |
| 10362s | could con continuing to come through as |
| 10363s | reiner is in desperate need of some |
| 10365s | healing here from his squad that is just |
| 10366s | now rejoining the shock they occupy the |
| 10369s | point is the gladiators |
| 10370s | the shock go ahead and retake it |
| 10372s | yes three ultimates traded for three |
| 10374s | there but the important thing that we |
| 10375s | did see is despite mikey getting slipped |
| 10377s | and ryden not eating asleep but it's |
| 10378s | proper that ghosts are finding the value |
| 10380s | double support line kills as well he got |
| 10382s | both funny astro and shoe headed to |
| 10385s | respond now working towards that play he |
| 10386s | has to be available he has an extra hp |
| 10389s | he's a little bit long to build it up |
| 10390s | but doesn't manage to find mikey getting |
| 10392s | that killing below the mainland at the |
| 10393s | very end now the blade's gonna be pulled |
| 10394s | through dashes across fine spin find |
| 10396s | sampling for a little bit more violet |
| 10398s | keeps him at an arms length and force |
| 10400s | him to retreat but milo himself is still |
| 10402s | in a precarious position doesn't come |
| 10404s | out on top all things considered the |
| 10405s | gladiators are once more in control |
| 10407s | keeping things nice and even |
| 10409s | yeah sound barrier being traded for |
| 10410s | rally there and ellie gladders will take |
| 10412s | that window of opportunity with the |
| 10413s | sound barriers more effective to get |
| 10414s | those skills in |
| 10416s | fight is still continuing with a bit of |
| 10418s | a skirmish happening here on the front |
| 10419s | lines glad he's not willing to give this |
| 10420s | one up obviously they're leaving |
| 10422s | with the biggest stick on to shoot |
| 10424s | and now he's looking for funny astro can |
| 10425s | he get the two for one again no he |
| 10426s | cannot manage to hound him down but the |
| 10430s | flip is getting ready to come through |
| 10431s | once more for the san francisco shock as |
| 10432s | the cleanup is there kept to the last |
| 10434s | one to fall two percent shy of tying it |
| 10436s | once more but the shock now ticking up |
| 10438s | last fight territory here for the |
| 10440s | gladiators yeah so many kills coming |
| 10442s | through from proper as well specifically |
| 10443s | six so far most of them have been pulse |
| 10445s | bomb kills we're heading towards the 90 |
| 10447s | mark paddy pan coming back over towards |
| 10449s | a sombra there's not a lot of great |
| 10450s | targets to hack ideally you get proper |
| 10452s | or sam that one second window could be |
| 10454s | lethal if they can land the damage in |
| 10455s | time but this is desperation for glads |
| 10459s | look at the point touch they force out |
| 10460s | the overtime kind of power around the |
| 10462s | back |
| 10463s | he's looking for a target on proper |
| 10464s | hovering low as the heck out of the mic |
| 10466s | he's just kind of using him as an old |
| 10467s | battery as you can see |
| 10469s | as a summer but the sleep is absolutely |
| 10470s | massive and proper it's right in on top |
| 10472s | and the kill comes through the |
| 10474s | gladiators down a member having to fight |
| 10477s | back having to try to persevere the nano |
| 10478s | goes in as mikey goes through it dives |
| 10481s | into the back line and chew he can not |
| 10482s | nord as funny astro proper gets right |
| 10484s | underneath of him takes down the lucio |
| 10486s | and it seems like that is going to be it |
| 10487s | the ot will bleed away a celebratory |
| 10489s | primal end rally on the back end as the |
| 10492s | shark will claim well 176 |
| 10495s | and it comes through from a first blood |
| 10497s | onto proper on multiple fights pulse |
| 10499s | bombs sticking through killing are |
| 10501s | straight away schematic for this series |
| 10503s | again proper versus kefstar is our |
| 10505s | highlighted match up here eight final |
| 10506s | blows for proper on that sub map only |
| 10509s | one for kepster need to look for much |
| 10511s | more of a step up from our mvp caliber |
| 10514s | tracer player of kevster on the alley |
| 10515s | gladiators side |
| 10517s | san francisco shock a lot of back and |
| 10519s | forth there push comes to shove they |
| 10521s | have the frags ready to go finn had the |
| 10522s | earlier nano shoe could not hold on to |
| 10524s | his life does not get the nano for the |
| 10527s | final fight we move over towards elios |
| 10529s | ruins it's going to be reiner coming |
| 10531s | through the doom this time lucio moira |
| 10533s | for the shock as well do note |
| 10536s | yep |
| 10537s | minor shakeups here lucia moyer at the |
| 10539s | gate for the side of the shock we've |
| 10540s | seen this be you know hit and miss |
| 10542s | depending on which team is piloting it |
| 10543s | but you put a bit more stock into it |
| 10546s | here with the shock raw can so |
| 10548s | let's see what happens and whether that |
| 10550s | the gladiator is going to be able to |
| 10551s | shut this down which they need to do if |
| 10552s | they want to take this to a third final |
| 10554s | round you already know dead off the rim |
| 10556s | violet getting on top and finds the |
| 10557s | melee kill paddy pat answers back |
| 10559s | finding one but mikey is quick |
| 10561s | maintaining that man advantage a two for |
| 10563s | one here for the side of the shock is |
| 10564s | once more point unlocking and they have |
| 10566s | first presence funny answer under fire |
| 10568s | the diving to the back proper not going |
| 10570s | to be able to finish him off with that |
| 10571s | clip still disrupting multiple members |
| 10573s | on the side of the gladiators making |
| 10574s | sure that they cannot rest easy |
| 10576s | and a much cleaner cap this time come |
| 10578s | through with shock you don't have the |
| 10579s | same delay from gladiators to slow |
| 10580s | things down two for one train in terms |
| 10582s | of members dead gladiators lose two |
| 10584s | their rhino on low hp couldn't dive back |
| 10586s | in i shouldn't go now putting a lot of |
| 10587s | pressure on mikey mikey's sleep looking |
| 10590s | for it there's the stick there's finn |
| 10591s | gone |
| 10592s | look that was a hit on the mikey but |
| 10594s | fifth is gonna be the one who eats it at |
| 10595s | the end violet as well take it down so |
| 10596s | no supports no tank proper i'm just |
| 10599s | looking for anything they possibly can |
| 10600s | but we'll just get picked off at the end |
| 10602s | by kepster who's starting to eat up |
| 10603s | gladiators once more regaining control |
| 10605s | this time a little bit sooner it's a |
| 10606s | shock hit 24 |
| 10608s | and that's what you want to see out of |
| 10609s | glad when you're up against up against a |
| 10611s | lucia moya composition shark want to be |
| 10613s | the fastest team here so glad to flip |
| 10615s | the script that they can be the ones |
| 10616s | pushing the go button just that much |
| 10618s | sooner putting the pressure on to mikey |
| 10620s | there's no burst healing coming through |
| 10621s | for this lucio mario like you can get |
| 10623s | from an anna so mikey's blow once again |
| 10626s | a rare mister from proper that appended |
| 10628s | sliding away mikey take it down now |
| 10629s | violet joining him in the grave |
| 10631s | gladiator have taken the lead here for |
| 10633s | themselves they look just for the |
| 10634s | further clean up and build up towards |
| 10636s | these ultimates to further hold the |
| 10638s | point |
| 10639s | probably the last one to drop so paddy |
| 10640s | pan comes up with three or four in that |
| 10642s | fight very nicely done by them and stuff |
| 10644s | with the glads they're looking good on |
| 10645s | ruins |
| 10646s | and they're able to outpace the |
| 10647s | coalition's timing here as well because |
| 10649s | the fighter is only about to get the |
| 10650s | cold now but you see shoe you see funny |
| 10651s | asher they're about to land on their |
| 10653s | support ultimates as soon as the call |
| 10654s | does come through gladiators can respond |
| 10656s | they can just sound barrier directly |
| 10657s | into it you're not really sounding sound |
| 10659s | better for much except for maybe the |
| 10661s | blade a little bit later on so astro |
| 10663s | goes for it |
| 10664s | yeah pete gets dropped however still |
| 10666s | focus fire through that shield and they |
| 10667s | managed to find the kill funny asteroid |
| 10668s | was well dangerously low gets the poop |
| 10670s | back creates some distance stays alive |
| 10672s | for a little bit longer but the rest of |
| 10674s | the team is getting chewed apart across |
| 10676s | the map here's the shock let's do it go |
| 10678s | ahead and wrest control away from the |
| 10679s | gladiators capture fighting back doesn't |
| 10680s | matter to find finn but the flip will be |
| 10682s | there before rhino could dive on the |
| 10683s | point and then he quickly has to make |
| 10684s | his exit doesn't give up an additional |
| 10686s | stagger |
| 10689s | two two tray that you saw that last |
| 10690s | fight but gladiators lose their support |
| 10692s | so ryan can't stay in grabs and make a |
| 10693s | health back on the side gets a little |
| 10695s | bit of healing wants to do some harass |
| 10696s | but they cannot hold on to the point so |
| 10698s | importantly glads now stop that 67 |
| 10699s | percent proper second pulse bomb miss a |
| 10702s | little bit unfortunate there shark have |
| 10703s | more to play through here comes the |
| 10704s | blade |
| 10705s | the blade is out but the poop is |
| 10706s | absolutely massive for mass strokes |
| 10708s | keeping him in arm's length once more |
| 10709s | and slasher reiner takes him low mikey |
| 10711s | now the primal oh he's got them locked |
| 10713s | in the side room shoop and the tank the |
| 10716s | gladiators end up falling they fish for |
| 10718s | a little bit more so while the |
| 10720s | the blade didn't get too much done |
| 10723s | it does a hell of a lot of work |
| 10725s | 67 about to be on board for the shock |
| 10726s | here as well still one more defensive |
| 10728s | ultimate players want to pull the |
| 10729s | trigger here they have the overclock |
| 10731s | available they have been putting a lot |
| 10733s | of focus on damaging mikey through finch |
| 10735s | with the counter there this time with |
| 10736s | the sound barrier |
| 10737s | they're going to go aggressively |
| 10741s | but they don't care violet he just goes |
| 10743s | ahead fades that one off and now they |
| 10745s | push forward and find the elimination |
| 10746s | it's the definition of the rail from sam |
| 10748s | knocks it back into shoe claiming the |
| 10750s | kill so |
| 10752s | only going to be able to find that |
| 10753s | singular kill with the overclock in the |
| 10755s | end |
| 10756s | that cap coming in as kepster dodged |
| 10758s | around the rest of the shock violet |
| 10759s | picked off here on the back end taking |
| 10760s | the call out for the extended fight |
| 10763s | and the shock seems like they will just |
| 10764s | be happy they can see the rest of this |
| 10765s | over they know that they have a little |
| 10766s | bit more time on their side with |
| 10767s | gladiators hold on to four alts |
| 10769s | and maybe shock fighting a bit more than |
| 10771s | they can chew their very aggressive beat |
| 10772s | going in usually you want to save that |
| 10774s | one to counter through for patapan's |
| 10776s | overclock and even despite the heroics |
| 10778s | of the deflect gladiators will get the |
| 10779s | number of kills especially off the |
| 10781s | overclock still fourth minutes in hand |
| 10782s | by the way and once more we found |
| 10783s | ourselves at the critical timing calls |
| 10785s | available for violet but so much more |
| 10787s | available for glads |
| 10789s | 89 percent now pulse bomb out from kept |
| 10791s | they're not going to find any purges |
| 10792s | mike you going to be emptied out however |
| 10793s | batman is able to finish them off with |
| 10794s | the rail the coalescence is just not an |
| 10796s | appealing throughput they try to keep |
| 10797s | them alive pulled back not gonna connect |
| 10799s | you get to sleep with the proper and |
| 10800s | pony astro is there for the alley-oop he |
| 10802s | gets the elimination violence gonna be |
| 10804s | taken down the overt bleeding down a |
| 10806s | last second touch from finn but he's got |
| 10807s | nowhere to go other than the grave and |
| 10809s | as this bleeds away we'll confirm that |
| 10812s | we are in fact going to a final round |
| 10815s | neither team going down without a fight |
| 10818s | go ahead and extend this all the way |
| 10819s | over to lighthouse |
| 10821s | shu making a name for himself possibly |
| 10823s | our best flex support in the entire |
| 10824s | league currently a major sleep dot on to |
| 10827s | proper that shuts him down the zzz is |
| 10829s | coming through he knows what kind of |
| 10831s | damage he did in that final fight four |
| 10832s | ultimates as well though the ali glad he |
| 10834s | is holding strong when the coalescence |
| 10836s | has come on through that is one of the |
| 10838s | key strengths for the shock running a |
| 10839s | lucio mori composition you have to play |
| 10841s | around the coalescences that's where you |
| 10843s | go for the aggressive plays each time |
| 10845s | though shoe and funny asher have their |
| 10846s | supports available funny actually |
| 10848s | responds with the sound barrier shoe |
| 10849s | pops sonata on the powder pen the damage |
| 10851s | is too good they shut down the carrier |
| 10853s | proper and the clients will take that |
| 10854s | 100. |
| 10856s | some questions there funny asked her at |
| 10858s | the very end of ruins asking finn lucio |
| 10860s | what's that |
| 10862s | and that's why we get the response of |
| 10863s | it's just some fun |
| 10865s | well it won't be too fun in hindsight if |
| 10867s | the shock ended up losing this map now |
| 10869s | not to say that |
| 10870s | in the grand finals that they would have |
| 10871s | lost that but yeah we we do a little bit |
| 10874s | of funning here in the grand finals |
| 10876s | first |
| 10877s | first wrecking ball that we got seen |
| 10878s | from the shock via mikey by the way i |
| 10880s | thought this one might come through on |
| 10881s | well he was playing the winston instead |
| 10883s | now it will be the ball the sam over |
| 10884s | okay first one skips her again |
| 10887s | i mean kev's there at a distance down to |
| 10889s | an echo not something you see too very |
| 10891s | often but |
| 10892s | just plays off his teammates damage |
| 10894s | quite nicely getting that pick fighting |
| 10895s | the timing let's get the shots to |
| 10896s | connect money astro making his way up |
| 10898s | top stays elusive he pumps once more the |
| 10901s | shock will be able to lock down this |
| 10902s | point and reiner is out in the middle of |
| 10904s | nowhere ends up falling it will be a |
| 10905s | trade on the tanks however with mikey |
| 10907s | getting taken down now they're looking |
| 10908s | for salmon he's locked in a bad position |
| 10910s | and she was able to clean him up |
| 10913s | no flight available over there for sam |
| 10915s | on the big sidelines there gladiators |
| 10916s | territory as i believe what's on their |
| 10917s | side of the map proper taking down very |
| 10919s | low hp but he'll take down cancer in |
| 10921s | response so |
| 10923s | things are going okay rydel is down |
| 10924s | pretty early in that fight as well half |
| 10925s | hp she needs to stand up oh proper |
| 10928s | a couple whips on ruins but this time he |
| 10930s | comes up huge gets on top of ryder and |
| 10932s | patty pulse gets the two for one after |
| 10934s | taking down the shock will be able to |
| 10936s | hold the point |
| 10937s | i mean just making up for lost time |
| 10938s | right two missed pulse bombs on ruins |
| 10940s | like you said but here we go one pulse |
| 10942s | bomb for two |
| 10943s | trying to catch up on lost kills that he |
| 10945s | had |
| 10946s | again right and a half hp that gibson i |
| 10948s | believe will either pad up and one of |
| 10949s | them was dead she did not have the nano |
| 10951s | and type and now it is here low hp that |
| 10953s | has to be in that fight |
| 10955s | oh and he whips the sleeve mikey gets in |
| 10957s | there |
| 10958s | plays off the back of the sticky bob's |
| 10959s | shoe take it down now ads are gone as |
| 10961s | well the supports claims |
| 10964s | gonna really hold this point for a hell |
| 10965s | of a lot longer 56 percent already |
| 10967s | locked in for them with no end in sight |
| 10970s | still no real engage from glads either |
| 10972s | we're waiting for overclocks to come |
| 10973s | online the nano as well been up for |
| 10975s | about one and a half fights here but the |
| 10977s | tempo from the shark just slammed the |
| 10979s | alley gladiators into the side room the |
| 10980s | little mini pack room there resolved |
| 10982s | like you mentioned shoe unfortunately |
| 10983s | the sleeped up |
| 10985s | didn't go for the narrow either to try |
| 10987s | and |
| 10988s | make the comeback play and shock holding |
| 10990s | on to a lot of ultimates and what could |
| 10991s | be lost by version the minds are out |
| 10995s | mine's invested nano as well here on the |
| 10997s | reiner trying to keep him sustained and |
| 10999s | oh |
| 11000s | snipes him right out of the sky could |
| 11002s | have used the tube to try to go for the |
| 11003s | eye frames keep himself protected now |
| 11004s | the body block is there just trying to |
| 11006s | deny point access here to mikey he does |
| 11007s | manage to swing his way through this is |
| 11009s | proper to dodging and ducking around the |
| 11010s | back the pulse bomb now already with the |
| 11012s | sound barrier shield coming through he |
| 11013s | said he's gonna have to hold on to this |
| 11014s | at least for a little bit longer trying |
| 11015s | to whittle away at these shields paddy |
| 11018s | however has slid away from the rest of |
| 11020s | the squad slid away from the point and |
| 11022s | make some easy pickings here for the |
| 11023s | rest of the shock he gets cleaned up sam |
| 11025s | once more going to be taken down |
| 11026s | seemingly just locked into the respawn |
| 11028s | room but shock looked to retake and back |
| 11030s | over onto the point occupying it looking |
| 11031s | for the flipping they're already at 97 |
| 11033s | percent of the gladiators have to keep |
| 11034s | this one contested the dashboard they're |
| 11036s | looking for the supports false button to |
| 11037s | be locked in this time no stick for |
| 11039s | proper no elimination with violet going |
| 11041s | down the shock might just have to reset |
| 11043s | super fine margins here for the |
| 11044s | gladiators you see that shock want to |
| 11046s | stay in the fight they weren't done just |
| 11047s | yet they had already the point flipped |
| 11049s | over towards the gladiators that's why |
| 11050s | one thirty percent now |
| 11052s | finn holding on to transcendence i mean |
| 11053s | shock wanted to burn a couple of |
| 11054s | ultimates that you did see the rally you |
| 11056s | did see the pulse bomb but glad it's |
| 11057s | held strong three ultimates held on to |
| 11060s | if those have been burned shock would be |
| 11061s | up economically but glads have a real |
| 11063s | chance of coming back now |
| 11066s | dude but they need to really play this |
| 11067s | out |
| 11069s | and yeah i was gonna say with their old |
| 11070s | economy but the lucio dupe comes through |
| 11072s | sam |
| 11073s | trying to heal some people up trying to |
| 11075s | weave in some of these left clicks build |
| 11077s | up towards that sound barrier so they |
| 11078s | can win out the fight slope going and it |
| 11080s | will be expiring here in about two |
| 11081s | seconds gets the beat drops it down the |
| 11083s | shielding now going to expire finally |
| 11084s | take it down moments before by the pulse |
| 11086s | bomb from kepster but the flip was there |
| 11087s | in the meantime shock retake control |
| 11089s | finn however now going to be a minute |
| 11090s | that's going to be a supportless side of |
| 11092s | the shock the minds come through to |
| 11093s | occupy the point kepster falling lower |
| 11095s | takes the recall out puts a hell of a |
| 11096s | lot of damage down to the proper he |
| 11097s | tries to make his exit but cancer finds |
| 11098s | him in the end the flip still needing to |
| 11100s | be there though as the contest continues |
| 11102s | from the side of the shock the poop in |
| 11103s | kempster i think he was blinking to the |
| 11105s | side actually goes straight into the |
| 11106s | vines and ends up going down and that |
| 11107s | could be catastrophic pilot returns |
| 11109s | reiner claims the kill has failed for a |
| 11111s | little bit more the flip comes through |
| 11113s | the glads now back in control as they |
| 11115s | look for some cleanup kills get some |
| 11117s | staggers they will be able to keep this |
| 11119s | map going |
| 11120s | really important kill from caps onto |
| 11121s | proper a little bit earlier on there as |
| 11123s | well only one member dying to the mines |
| 11126s | not only gladiators that could have been |
| 11127s | a very dire moment funny astral coming |
| 11128s | back with the sound bar billy was about |
| 11130s | 94 95 might have had to burn that one |
| 11132s | but they will you have to force the |
| 11134s | shark out without having to use that |
| 11135s | ultimate so they can save it for this |
| 11137s | final fight where shock are mostly |
| 11138s | burned through in terms of alt economy |
| 11140s | we're looking only at problem now he got |
| 11142s | a two for one at the start of this map |
| 11144s | gonna get more |
| 11145s | he's going to have to |
| 11148s | absolutely this barrier needs to be well |
| 11150s | timed for mass trouble |
| 11152s | someone typically you can very much rely |
| 11153s | on to not beat the beat |
| 11156s | reiner consistently getting a whittle |
| 11158s | away at |
| 11160s | heels flying through the casinos is a |
| 11161s | bit of a battery trying to get that nano |
| 11163s | ready to go does have a nice little lead |
| 11164s | over finn and mikey's gonna be taking |
| 11165s | down the beast still gonna be used pulls |
| 11167s | bomb in finds violet one smaller slabs |
| 11170s | strikes him down and as you say proper |
| 11172s | slept funny astro once more gets on top |
| 11174s | of him to find the elimination the |
| 11175s | cleanups come through and the gladiators |
| 11177s | they will manage to persevere a great |
| 11180s | fight to take at the very end they clean |
| 11182s | it up two to one but back and forth |
| 11184s | between both of these squads is the |
| 11186s | gladiators however drawing first blood |
| 11188s | to kick off the series |
| 11190s | and |
| 11191s | funny astr says |
| 11195s | and that's the thing right because this |
| 11196s | is one of the very important maps for |
| 11198s | gladiators we've watched the gladiators |
| 11199s | versus the hangzhou spark not that long |
| 11202s | ago a couple days now and this was the |
| 11204s | map along with colosseum that they |
| 11206s | really brought back in terms of winning |
| 11207s | that series when they're down one to two |
| 11210s | shock have also been favoring this as a |
| 11212s | first pick they first picked this map a |
| 11213s | number of times now but any opportunity |
| 11215s | where the gliders can put funny asher in |
| 11217s | is gonna be a strong map but despite |
| 11220s | what funny asher was saying it was a |
| 11221s | struggle guys did have to come back |
| 11223s | another heroic sleep from shu on to |
| 11225s | proper to deny him from the pulse bomber |
| 11227s | this time it ends up being kepster that |
| 11229s | opens up with the pulse that wins the |
| 11230s | map |
| 11232s | just impeccably played so very back and |
| 11234s | forth the whole way throughout and that |
| 11235s | is what we have been asking for and that |
| 11237s | is what we hope continues throughout |
| 11239s | every single map in this series not just |
| 11241s | control not just helios i want to see |
| 11243s | this one go the distance give me seven |
| 11245s | maps i am fully prepared for it i'm sure |
| 11246s | the audience is as well that's map one |
| 11249s | out of the way we'll see if this can be |
| 11251s | tied up if the shock can't answer back |
| 11253s | with get another bat pick and try to get |
| 11255s | a victory we'll see where they take us |
| 11256s | for hybrid when we return |

| 11473s | and we are back just one map into this |
| 11475s | grand finals series the gladiators |
| 11478s | narrowly being able to edge out the |
| 11480s | shock and take the win here two one on |
| 11483s | ilios and a lot of it on the back end |
| 11485s | had to do with shoe and these consistent |
| 11487s | sleeps that he was finding on proper we |
| 11489s | saw the game changing one they get |
| 11490s | breaking one for the shock on ruins and |
| 11492s | he does it once more here on lighthouse |
| 11495s | absolutely i mean this issue coming in |
| 11497s | for his role star once again |
| 11499s | one of if not the best flex support that |
| 11501s | we have in the overwatch league gigantic |
| 11503s | sleep darts there one and two prop of on |
| 11506s | i believe it was ruins one now on to |
| 11508s | lighthouse as well that will give them |
| 11511s | very important map wins and of course |
| 11513s | the kill onto mikey on the other end |
| 11514s | though you do have finn and violet also |
| 11517s | trying to compete for that sort of |
| 11519s | number one spot or at least the upper |
| 11520s | echelons going for those flight support |
| 11522s | rolls does just support role stars ready |
| 11524s | finn the newbie on the block extremely |
| 11526s | hyped up probably the number one |
| 11528s | flexible prospect from korea in the |
| 11529s | offseason from contenders and violet |
| 11532s | i mean this guy basically is the go to |
| 11535s | support in terms of his accolades his |
| 11537s | achievements oh yeah another leader of |
| 11539s | an extremely young squad trying to take |
| 11541s | them to their first ever championship |
| 11545s | and it's uh you know widely has been |
| 11547s | looking to treat maybe not so much in |
| 11548s | the first map but still uh that is just |
| 11551s | one map out of the way you can see |
| 11552s | reiner and colluge having some smack |
| 11554s | talk back and forth across the way there |
| 11556s | and at the very end you know mikey |
| 11558s | before he stepped away said yeah you'll |
| 11560s | win the map but you'll also lose the |
| 11562s | series so he's saying you know what that |
| 11564s | first loss does not matter we are going |
| 11566s | to be able to clap back now it's time |
| 11568s | for well while he might not be playing |
| 11569s | for the team to put their money where |
| 11571s | their mouths are and see if they can do |
| 11573s | just that eichenwald is the pick for |
| 11575s | hybrid so we'll see if that can be the |
| 11576s | staging grounds for them to take the |
| 11578s | step forward and tie this yeah one to |
| 11580s | i respect the uh self-censoring there |
| 11582s | from both college and especially ryan he |
| 11584s | had once a closed fist and uh a fist |
| 11587s | with an index finger but not quite the |
| 11588s | middle one so we're not going for the |
| 11590s | the bird back and forth anyway |
| 11592s | and speaking of birds diva should be on |
| 11593s | the cards here for eichenwalde for the |
| 11595s | shock again map drafting strategy uh |
| 11598s | from me analytically is that this would |
| 11601s | have been midtown for gladiators had it |
| 11602s | been their map pick but they win early |
| 11604s | gostimate pick of the shock and thus |
| 11606s | shock will take them to iconvolt this |
| 11607s | has been one of their absolute |
| 11610s | signatures |
| 11611s | throughout the entire tournament they |
| 11613s | are the only team to consistently run |
| 11615s | diva and specifically they are running |
| 11617s | diva here from college it is a shock |
| 11620s | specialty now when we have this match up |
| 11623s | in the upper bracket the ali gladius |
| 11625s | tried to counter with azaria composition |
| 11626s | both offensive and defensive does have a |
| 11628s | very good match up specifically into the |
| 11631s | diva so this rhino versus colluge |
| 11633s | matchup is now i think one that we have |
| 11635s | to zoom in for for i convolved that |
| 11637s | proper versus capsule was vague on the |
| 11639s | elias but |
| 11640s | we have to ask the question is it gonna |
| 11642s | be more zarya because zarya did struggle |
| 11644s | specifically on that defense wasn't very |
| 11646s | good on b for rhino as well that's where |
| 11648s | you expected to be weak but for the |
| 11650s | shock |
| 11651s | because the expectations that conclude |
| 11652s | run siva he's actually going to come |
| 11654s | through on a once and they have a dupe |
| 11656s | to the gladiators however the gladiators |
| 11658s | wants to notice this rhino should be |
| 11659s | going back towards either doom or |
| 11660s | winston when they scout the winston |
| 11663s | yeah we'll see |
| 11664s | how they try to hide this one obviously |
| 11666s | they can expect that kepster is going to |
| 11667s | be going for a pop shot so i just want |
| 11669s | to stay out of those widow sight lines |
| 11670s | by a little bit of extra time uh on the |
| 11672s | bamboozle before the swaps can come |
| 11674s | through |
| 11675s | just chip away at that time pink in any |
| 11677s | way that you could possibly do so |
| 11680s | let's see what happens i gotta say looks |
| 11682s | like once the glads do spit out this i |
| 11684s | think i think this is better for |
| 11686s | gladiators because they have the |
| 11687s | scouting advantage they are attacking |
| 11688s | first once they peep what is being run |
| 11691s | on the defense here rhino will change |
| 11692s | there's no reason to run it zarya unless |
| 11694s | colludes is going towards a diva and the |
| 11696s | diva so far i believe has a 100 match |
| 11698s | win rate or near 100 percent |
| 11701s | so no real reason for shock to change |
| 11703s | unless they just want to kind of confuse |
| 11704s | the gladiators that goes right let's |
| 11706s | is it going to be winston or doom is the |
| 11708s | question doom has been the preference |
| 11710s | for rhino for a lot of these maps and |
| 11712s | the answer is doom |
| 11714s | all right there's a swap up skeptic as |
| 11715s | well moving up again she goes over to |
| 11716s | the tracer |
| 11718s | and we have |
| 11720s | the doomfist coming out the gate |
| 11722s | supports going to be matched here with |
| 11724s | that zen on it ryan are wrapping around |
| 11726s | the back spotting sam there for just a |
| 11727s | moment |
| 11728s | he'll slide away now the contest over |
| 11730s | the point for just a brief moment put |
| 11731s | down a little seismic slam takes the |
| 11733s | punch to the side see the gladiators |
| 11735s | just poking and prodding trying to get a |
| 11737s | sense of how shock are going to be |
| 11738s | looking to pilot this defense and then |
| 11739s | try to find the entryway onto the point |
| 11742s | dash over the side proper chasing in and |
| 11744s | looking for kev sir just force him to |
| 11745s | recall |
| 11746s | this rhino takes a hell of a lot of |
| 11748s | damage trying to play forward kevs are |
| 11749s | now however going to get picked off |
| 11750s | violet finding the opening kill that |
| 11752s | after from proper going to whip doesn't |
| 11753s | mean she can actually shoot likely would |
| 11755s | have been a donation had he been able to |
| 11757s | do so but he will get him on the second |
| 11758s | attempt and now skewed is forced all the |
| 11760s | way back and it's gonna be a successful |
| 11761s | first volley here defended on the side |
| 11764s | of the shock |
| 11765s | a couple more things to really know for |
| 11766s | this type of map here as well as proper |
| 11767s | is actually playing the genji instead of |
| 11769s | the tracer previous games that we have |
| 11771s | seen on iconvolt that has always |
| 11772s | typically been the proper tracer along |
| 11774s | with the sam on the uh sergeant here is |
| 11777s | also another change up for the san |
| 11778s | francisco shock but for the nanoblade of |
| 11780s | future fights via is nearly there who is |
| 11782s | also playing the anna playing double |
| 11783s | flick support very important for the |
| 11784s | shock this is why their win rate is so |
| 11786s | much higher off the control maps because |
| 11788s | fighter is taken off the break and onto |
| 11789s | an ana |
| 11792s | made used by violet just getting that |
| 11794s | boosted healing out onto his teammates |
| 11796s | keeping them alive and pat he fights |
| 11798s | proper |
| 11798s | deflect already burned i do believe the |
| 11800s | headshot comes across big opening now |
| 11803s | for the side of the gladiators they look |
| 11804s | to take the point and then boost gonna |
| 11805s | be used goes over towards collusion |
| 11807s | trying to keep them alive as he snaps |
| 11808s | away right |
| 11809s | lower moves into the back will manage to |
| 11811s | find you and skip gets taken down by |
| 11813s | sam's eight as well |
| 11814s | now no supports no tick picked up the |
| 11816s | gladiators looking like they're going to |
| 11818s | be threes more have to reset and go |
| 11819s | again unless they can find this kill on |
| 11821s | a collusion they do manage to occupy the |
| 11822s | point for a little bit longer here patty |
| 11824s | sliding over gets up over top of klush |
| 11826s | finds that kill and they're actually |
| 11827s | going to be able to turn this on its |
| 11827s | head |
| 11828s | yep amazing by patty he outplays him |
| 11831s | there if i can profit out play the |
| 11832s | wrestler gladiators he's back in |
| 11834s | there's not enough time though he would |
| 11836s | love to play he's been stunned out here |
| 11838s | but they cannot touch it's two right |
| 11839s | they get blocked couldn't get there |
| 11841s | they get blocked they can't make their |
| 11843s | way through |
| 11844s | and now the trance gets burned for |
| 11846s | absolutely nothing no contest the cap is |
| 11848s | there nearly four minutes at the time |
| 11849s | big for the side of the gladiators |
| 11850s | they're going to be so very happy with |
| 11852s | that as reiner way to the respawn spams |
| 11854s | out the c9s |
| 11856s | it's so many failed adults here we have |
| 11857s | a failed transcendence a failed |
| 11859s | overclock from sam as well shut down by |
| 11861s | padded band |
| 11862s | nana on the college keeps him alive for |
| 11863s | some time but he couldn't build the |
| 11864s | primal within the nano so a couple |
| 11866s | things could have changed there i mean |
| 11867s | if there was a little bit more damage |
| 11868s | onto collusion they had them stay alive |
| 11870s | for a little bit longer had the supports |
| 11872s | died a little bit later there is what |
| 11873s | clutch could have built prime or the |
| 11874s | previous fight the transcendence would |
| 11876s | have come on through padding a hundred |
| 11877s | percent would have blamed their fight |
| 11879s | and at minimum even if shocked lose they |
| 11881s | force ultimates out of clouds and that's |
| 11882s | the one thing that didn't happen flats |
| 11884s | now have four ultimates going to be |
| 11886s | they're snowballing exceptionally hard |
| 11889s | caps are trying to harass but now with a |
| 11890s | recall burnt the collapse comes through |
| 11892s | from the rest of the members of the side |
| 11893s | of the shock they do manage to get that |
| 11895s | punished proper continuing to limit test |
| 11897s | a little bit with his hp bar |
| 11899s | has managed to stay alive for the most |
| 11900s | part and with the pickup on the rhino |
| 11902s | off the wait for the reset so for the |
| 11903s | cart not getting too much distance it's |
| 11905s | gonna be a minute taken away |
| 11907s | i mean we're expecting a little bit more |
| 11908s | distance considering you know how |
| 11910s | aggressively they were able to snowball |
| 11911s | that one they get four ultimates nano a |
| 11913s | little bit better served on either |
| 11915s | reiner's brand new winston here or even |
| 11916s | better should be the pader pan so again |
| 11918s | nano clock the ultimate combo that we're |
| 11920s | looking for here very difficult to |
| 11921s | survive against san francisco shock in |
| 11923s | that time had built up an extra nano so |
| 11925s | a little bit more even now now looking |
| 11927s | fine |
| 11928s | there's asleep they wake him up though |
| 11930s | right back into the action nano going to |
| 11932s | be used on the fin just to keep him |
| 11933s | sustained |
| 11935s | no no blade there for another target |
| 11937s | he's skewed moving forward with the |
| 11938s | transcendence rolling but the card |
| 11939s | however not moving at all and now skewed |
| 11941s | as soon as that old expires he ends up |
| 11942s | falling but patty and kepser they |
| 11944s | managed to find the enemy supports they |
| 11946s | clean him up they can sam as well and |
| 11947s | with collusion emptied out he does end |
| 11949s | up falling and cart can finally start |
| 11951s | moving over towards the bridge here from |
| 11952s | the side of the gladiators |
| 11954s | yes then on 97 there is all would love |
| 11956s | to have the next transcendence again |
| 11957s | burned it to try and save point a to be |
| 11960s | fair to him though in about the space of |
| 11961s | two fights he's got another |
| 11962s | transcendence doing a ton of damage on |
| 11964s | the zenyatta four final blows between |
| 11966s | finn invited three witch on finn i said |
| 11968s | that violet great on the flex sport will |
| 11970s | fit on the zenyatta as well is also a |
| 11972s | big boom for shock |
| 11975s | a lot of distance being given up |
| 11977s | just here now to the edge of the bridge |
| 11978s | patty taking a bit of damage as there's |
| 11980s | a fight happening over all of the |
| 11981s | ramparts and kevin manages to win it sam |
| 11983s | trying to take that high ground around |
| 11985s | the back the kepler says no |
| 11986s | shuts them down collusion getting over |
| 11988s | the side looking to put some pressure |
| 11990s | here on the right of the card is moving |
| 11991s | forward they have to go for the contest |
| 11992s | finn gonna be popping the transcendence |
| 11993s | this time he is able to get over towards |
| 11994s | the objective the pulse pod from kepster |
| 11996s | flies through and violent taken down had |
| 11998s | already used the immortality field seems |
| 12000s | to the gladiators not going to be |
| 12001s | stopped this time around not gonna have |
| 12003s | the time bank drain down any further |
| 12005s | that'll be the cap going through for |
| 12006s | them and now it's gonna be two minutes |
| 12007s | and 40 seconds as they breach the castle |
| 12009s | walls |
| 12010s | and it's more hero swamps as well |
| 12011s | because college did come back on a diva |
| 12012s | so the question will be does he remain |
| 12014s | on the diva or not |
| 12016s | not really the best for the final c |
| 12018s | point defense this is where zarya or |
| 12019s | sigma or even the winston could be |
| 12020s | preferred ryan has primal available |
| 12022s | alongside more ultimates the timing of |
| 12024s | gladiators for getting these ultimates |
| 12025s | is insane because they will now once |
| 12027s | more be snowballing to four alternates |
| 12028s | we'll see caps are changing from the |
| 12030s | tracer to the genji here for the nano |
| 12031s | blade a little bit later on bit of an |
| 12033s | insurance policy he did also get the |
| 12035s | initial kill i believe onto sam which |
| 12037s | opened up the by before b |
| 12039s | diving to the back rider instantly |
| 12041s | falling low has the primal rely on |
| 12043s | however |
| 12044s | makes his exit back over the front of |
| 12045s | the car now the nano for the |
| 12047s | re-aggression goes diving in once more |
| 12049s | down about half hp rams back around the |
| 12051s | side says shoot go ahead open me up some |
| 12053s | healing |
| 12054s | it will be in the window so overclock |
| 12059s | in the head stay safe now that all gonna |
| 12061s | be expired and it's a lot of pressure |
| 12062s | applied to property who needs to find a |
| 12064s | stick needs to find an elimination with |
| 12066s | this |
| 12066s | box falling low instantly patty finds |
| 12068s | the kill proper even without the pulse |
| 12070s | does manage to get in on top of the |
| 12071s | enemy soldier and finds that kill ryder |
| 12073s | gonna be taken down as well seems the |
| 12075s | shock might be able to find a little bit |
| 12076s | of breathing room now the final stretch |
| 12078s | of this defense a minute and a half |
| 12080s | remaining gladiators do they just make |
| 12082s | their exit riders gonna be swapping over |
| 12084s | a lob in a desperation only a reset |
| 12086s | throw but doesn't find the kill |
| 12088s | i think just don't have the number |
| 12089s | second it's okay swapping over towards |
| 12090s | cesare now the primal has been burned |
| 12092s | like i said that's already preferable |
| 12093s | for a pointy offense especially when |
| 12095s | college is playing diva as well but |
| 12096s | skewed did not transfer the fight you |
| 12097s | see patty going very aggressive on |
| 12099s | towards the overclock but he didn't have |
| 12101s | the support he was going straight into |
| 12102s | enemy lines died straight away to proper |
| 12104s | could have been the fight win and the |
| 12106s | camp for the ali gladius now one minute |
| 12108s | remaining here trent still available |
| 12109s | finn to match that in a hot |
| 12111s | second and nearly has it needs to have |
| 12113s | it sooner rather than later |
| 12115s | auntie under college can buy some space |
| 12117s | and time with that self-destruct |
| 12121s | for now he's just trying to stay in this |
| 12122s | mech as long as he possibly can oh for |
| 12124s | sure it's gonna be too risky to just try |
| 12126s | to lob it in but takes quite a bit of |
| 12127s | damage banana once more gonna be built |
| 12129s | up this time it goes over to ryder as he |
| 12130s | looks to build up some energy currently |
| 12131s | at 67. self-destruct goes out from |
| 12133s | college looks for a pick but i think it |
| 12135s | actually lands on the chandelier the car |
| 12136s | right now is not going to be contested |
| 12138s | they finally managed to get the touch |
| 12139s | back through |
| 12140s | sam slept however paddy gets on top of |
| 12142s | him the headshot rail goes through made |
| 12143s | out on the rider they're trying to give |
| 12145s | us a snake kill it's working a trade has |
| 12147s | been taken down the windows out from |
| 12148s | violets but kepster pulls the blade |
| 12151s | shuts him down they clean up the kills |
| 12153s | and the push comes to completion the |
| 12155s | gladiators managing to finish the map |
| 12157s | with just 16 seconds to spare but |
| 12159s | crucially they have time in the bank |
| 12162s | that's why the kev swap over towards the |
| 12164s | genji was so important like i said the |
| 12166s | insurance policy coming through renew |
| 12168s | that one for the next side of i convolve |
| 12170s | the for sure for the l.a gladiators when |
| 12172s | push comes to shove we get towards the |
| 12173s | end there and the camps to blade they |
| 12175s | come on through when nothing else was |
| 12177s | available but how about those heals from |
| 12179s | schuman scooters or keeping reiner alive |
| 12180s | for so long it ends up being the proper |
| 12183s | pulse bomb to finally take him down the |
| 12185s | gladiators despite not getting the most |
| 12187s | amazing time bank they do finish they do |
| 12189s | cap 16 seconds is still admirable that's |
| 12191s | still a lot to work through in shock |
| 12193s | now have the target set in terms of what |
| 12195s | they need to be able to get themselves |
| 12200s | well well well |
| 12202s | the shock on their map pick can take us |
| 12204s | to the end it's not going to be an easy |
| 12206s | victory it will go to extra innings so |
| 12208s | need to try to set themselves up for as |
| 12210s | much of an advantage as they possibly |
| 12211s | can |
| 12213s | let's see how they look though coming |
| 12214s | out the gate let's uh |
| 12216s | very quickly talk about these |
| 12217s | compositions as well last time these two |
| 12219s | teams met as a reminder reiner started |
| 12221s | out with the zarya defense that |
| 12223s | unfortunately was |
| 12224s | a very bad call from the gladiators it's |
| 12226s | good into collugis diva but it doesn't |
| 12228s | really have a lot of value once we get |
| 12230s | past a they really struggled to do a lot |
| 12233s | on b with azaria did not have the high |
| 12235s | ground low ground mobility did not have |
| 12236s | the verticality to play through so |
| 12238s | starting out on the doom or even the |
| 12240s | winston much more preferable once we |
| 12242s | transition onto b it's about playing for |
| 12244s | the entirety of the map not just for |
| 12246s | what is good on exit this is an |
| 12248s | improvement from the la gladys already |
| 12249s | in terms of opening compositional |
| 12251s | choices but as mentioned as well the |
| 12252s | colluge diva specialty for ike involved |
| 12254s | it is on the menu |
| 12261s | once more |
| 12262s | slow and steady at the beginning |
| 12264s | shock tiptoeing around chipping away at |
| 12267s | the hp bars of the gladiators members |
| 12269s | where they possibly can |
| 12271s | protect patty quite low now find reiner |
| 12273s | here for the forward contest of course |
| 12275s | his position back he's gonna be using |
| 12277s | his mitigation that doesn't have that |
| 12279s | for a little period of time as he goes |
| 12280s | diving into the back line and that could |
| 12281s | be a death sentence for him and yes it |
| 12283s | is he cannot exit absolutely overstepped |
| 12286s | and now the point is broken open with |
| 12287s | cute falling as well |
| 12289s | the last member standing as far as the |
| 12290s | supports are concerned they will manage |
| 12292s | to break colluge out of that mech but |
| 12294s | even with that little pilot pistol he'll |
| 12296s | still be taking down patty |
| 12298s | so you know it's not all about the |
| 12299s | caliber of the weapon |
| 12302s | and that is going to be the cap coming |
| 12303s | in a massive five and a half minutes |
| 12305s | about to be on the time bank |
| 12306s | yeah can't be in baby d perform for the |
| 12309s | following caps he's going to reset that |
| 12310s | mech and continue that diva game play |
| 12313s | four beat |
| 12314s | probably change we get to see but great |
| 12316s | stuff by the san francisco shotgun |
| 12317s | insanely good punish onto rhino |
| 12319s | overstepping by the way rainer lacking |
| 12322s | the patience there saw an opportunity |
| 12324s | the back line but was instantly punished |
| 12326s | by the entirety of the san francisco |
| 12328s | shock including colluge and uh no heels |
| 12330s | because what you do see there is once |
| 12331s | kalooz puts the matrix on top of rhino |
| 12333s | as he dives on in shoe and skew can't do |
| 12335s | a damn thing |
| 12337s | i think he realized that he overstepped |
| 12339s | now swaps over the wrecking ball here |
| 12340s | for the point b defense gave us a little |
| 12343s | bit of a blue steel look into the cam |
| 12345s | for a moment |
| 12347s | patty yeah this time around |
| 12350s | proper |
| 12351s | dashing forward pulse bomb already |
| 12353s | avoids getting rolled across no eyeliner |
| 12356s | stays it for now |
| 12357s | to find a head shot |
| 12358s | yep sam going to be taken down |
| 12361s | like he said mama targets a little bit |
| 12362s | difficult to decide on who you want to |
| 12364s | go for |
| 12368s | the part will be abandoned i mean |
| 12369s | the first fake is really important for |
| 12371s | glasgow because that will slow down the |
| 12372s | shock so they're gonna have to wait for |
| 12373s | that respawn which comes through now |
| 12375s | and this is where you can go for paddy |
| 12376s | because he does have the overclocks we |
| 12378s | are going to get that nine o'clock combo |
| 12379s | not likely to go on top of ryan or skew |
| 12381s | unless they're in trouble so ryder at |
| 12382s | the stage has to try and not take too |
| 12384s | much damage because she knees puts on |
| 12386s | paddy he's put on ryder instead |
| 12388s | okay |
| 12389s | connected the nano is there to try to |
| 12391s | keep him alive but here comes that oh |
| 12394s | god |
| 12395s | things up to the high ground keeps him |
| 12396s | protected now invest sets up the |
| 12398s | structure go ahead and clear out some |
| 12400s | space proper in the meantime is doing |
| 12402s | the lord's work for you for the side of |
| 12403s | the shot comes up with two eliminations |
| 12405s | before skewed can swap can find an |
| 12407s | answering kill taking down sam but the |
| 12410s | cart now opened up the bridge completely |
| 12412s | unoccupied space moving forward as |
| 12414s | proper can not recall |
| 12416s | doesn't end up falling for the glass can |
| 12418s | arrest |
| 12420s | yeah i just don't know if this paddy |
| 12421s | sombra's gonna be hit i mean not great |
| 12422s | hacking targets unless you can find |
| 12424s | proper sam pretty similar sentiments to |
| 12425s | what we had onto elios hack and colluge |
| 12427s | does nothing for you you get what one |
| 12429s | second less of matrix bit of a joke |
| 12431s | that's not going to help you at all can |
| 12433s | they initiate a dive on towards fender |
| 12435s | that could be another target at least |
| 12436s | you get good scouting you do have the |
| 12438s | sombra it's going to get the stronger |
| 12439s | okay that's okay yeah the pile driver |
| 12441s | doesn't even connect but it doesn't |
| 12442s | matter |
| 12443s | still enough damage output to go ahead |
| 12444s | and take him down sam now gonna be going |
| 12445s | for the duke goes over to the tracer now |
| 12448s | it's gonna be broken out of that by |
| 12449s | kempster still looks to apply some |
| 12450s | pressure falling lower and lower take |
| 12452s | down to 45 hp just hugging into the |
| 12453s | corner as much as he possibly can but |
| 12455s | the healers quite far away |
| 12457s | we'll get topped up as violet arrives |
| 12458s | into the stairwell to go ahead and |
| 12460s | sustain him |
| 12462s | because there's a hack on the proper but |
| 12463s | again you have to claim that one second |
| 12465s | window so your team needs to be |
| 12466s | positioned between parts reiner and kev |
| 12468s | said and also paddling |
| 12469s | a lot of damage we take it okay well |
| 12471s | ryan is slipped but he just kills violet |
| 12472s | anyway |
| 12474s | yeah takes a little nap since you know |
| 12476s | what i've done my job |
| 12479s | question mark um okay did he get hacked |
| 12481s | was that a hat that's all i can think is |
| 12483s | that he got hacked and went off the side |
| 12484s | of the map |
| 12485s | you would have to hope that that was the |
| 12486s | case for him either way he's not gonna |
| 12488s | be thinking with the echo anymore swaps |
| 12489s | now over to the sojourn then gonna be |
| 12491s | taking out the break on the mech for |
| 12493s | colluge and this is that's brutal really |
| 12495s | good for the side of the gladiators they |
| 12496s | are very much playing this up to a t |
| 12498s | just finding these consistent picks |
| 12500s | the super long respawn for clujas he has |
| 12502s | to reset the mech again here in the san |
| 12504s | francisco shock i mean if we're going to |
| 12505s | finish this map you need to see a lot |
| 12507s | more distance being gained here really |
| 12509s | had a pen came through what i believe to |
| 12510s | be more of a desperation stop to sombra |
| 12512s | you're going to come back quickly try |
| 12514s | and set up for the next fight but he's |
| 12515s | lived so long he's we've waited long |
| 12517s | enough that he's nearly got emp |
| 12518s | available nana on the rider again |
| 12521s | pulls bomb out not gonna find the kill |
| 12522s | but it still does a quite uh quite a bit |
| 12524s | of damage there simon violet both end up |
| 12526s | falling the nano on the fin doesn't |
| 12528s | matter and he is the only one standing |
| 12530s | there and surrounded by members of the |
| 12532s | gladiators they do get the pitch they |
| 12533s | get the kill blue's just trying to |
| 12535s | pistol his way back in but with the |
| 12537s | sliver of hp it's just gonna be a late |
| 12538s | stagger for him okay |
| 12540s | this is important now paddy pants should |
| 12541s | have a three-man dive between rhino kev |
| 12543s | and paddy with the emp onto the back |
| 12544s | line shock need to know this this is |
| 12546s | coming in as well fin and fight are |
| 12548s | going to be the targets sam is going to |
| 12549s | play counter spike here both teams just |
| 12551s | got to go towards the subway losing |
| 12552s | maybe a little bit over he's he's both |
| 12554s | supports |
| 12555s | confidence in the sojourn maybe he can't |
| 12557s | find the rail charge but i understand |
| 12560s | one minute twelve left and i i can't |
| 12562s | overstate |
| 12564s | how important this map is for the shock |
| 12565s | the system that like one of their |
| 12567s | signature maps let's get started okay |
| 12570s | they had kalush |
| 12572s | expires can use the d matrix once more |
| 12576s | connie goes ahead |
| 12578s | jumps out of there translocating |
| 12580s | jump over the top |
| 12581s | low on hp or apartment he goes his way |
| 12584s | trying to keep him alive and finn he's |
| 12585s | gonna be probably the transcendence now |
| 12587s | it's just human proper playing this far |
| 12588s | forward the rest of the team is i don't |
| 12589s | know what happened he slipped |
| 12591s | i have no idea now he's going to be |
| 12592s | slapped they'd look to get on top from |
| 12593s | the end he goes through capture finds |
| 12594s | the kill runner once more gets violent |
| 12596s | with a minefield and what in the hell is |
| 12598s | happening this one from such a clean |
| 12600s | initial take from the side of the shock |
| 12602s | five and a half minutes now five of |
| 12604s | those minutes are gone |
| 12605s | yeah that's uh disastrous coming through |
| 12607s | from the shock i mean they had a great a |
| 12608s | offense but b has been an entire stone |
| 12611s | wall the front of them from the early |
| 12612s | gladiators thematic because when i |
| 12614s | convolved here as well we're still |
| 12615s | talking about emp it's still a big |
| 12616s | factor we can save this into the last |
| 12618s | fight now this is huge from the flights |
| 12620s | they have four ultimates and the shock |
| 12622s | are reeling they have nothing to work |
| 12623s | through they need the schneider coming |
| 12624s | up through |
| 12626s | the back the pulse pump not going to |
| 12627s | connect doesn't get the elimination it's |
| 12628s | going to be shoot taken down on the |
| 12629s | opposite side of the field |
| 12631s | denying that now exactly now just trying |
| 12633s | to keep this card occupied |
| 12635s | nano |
| 12637s | invested keeps this diva nice and safe |
| 12639s | adding self-destruct to use you're |
| 12641s | trying to buy some space paddy emp comes |
| 12644s | through gets the hack out onto pretty |
| 12645s | much everybody on the side of the shock |
| 12646s | i think no dive though able to avoid it |
| 12648s | but there's no doubt there's no kills |
| 12649s | coming through and i said he does |
| 12651s | connect on the two violent under some |
| 12652s | fire they cannot keep him alive |
| 12653s | self-destruct goes out we'll find skewed |
| 12655s | but not before sleeping so now there's |
| 12657s | no support profit proper gonna be taking |
| 12659s | us a nap here the sleep dart connecting |
| 12661s | from shoes they try to keep rider alive |
| 12662s | 29 hp he crashes through manages to get |
| 12665s | that poop across and now it's just gonna |
| 12666s | be patty and kepster versus proper |
| 12668s | duking it out trying to stop this push |
| 12670s | from coming through and they will be |
| 12672s | able to do it proper gets pushed away |
| 12674s | the defense is there the gladiators win |
| 12677s | out another map |
| 12679s | they are halfway to victory closing out |
| 12681s | yet another victory on a shock |
| 12685s | this is gonna have to be a long series |
| 12687s | for the shock now thankfully it is not a |
| 12689s | first to three not a best of five here |
| 12691s | not quite a reverse sweep required from |
| 12694s | the shark but still a mountain to climb |
| 12696s | this was another shock map decision they |
| 12700s | really wanted to go to eichenwalde again |
| 12701s | i repeat a signature map pick for them |
| 12703s | the diva here has been flawless they've |
| 12705s | never really lost with the diva on this |
| 12707s | map |
| 12708s | and even despite the emp from panapan |
| 12710s | kind of whiffing there i say it with |
| 12711s | despite catching three you need the caps |
| 12714s | to rider padding trio dive for that emp |
| 12716s | to be truly successful shock survive |
| 12718s | against that but a lot of unfortunate |
| 12721s | mind-boggling situations on that offense |
| 12724s | what happened to finn why did he use the |
| 12725s | transcendence he then gets slipped and |
| 12727s | killed very confusing stuff |
| 12730s | all right this just yeah yet another |
| 12731s | unsolved mystery we may never know the |
| 12734s | reasoning of to see if we can pull some |
| 12735s | replays during the downtime and really |
| 12737s | dive into what in the hell just happened |
| 12739s | there all i know is that the gladiators |
| 12741s | are now 2-0 up in this grand final the |
| 12743s | san francisco shock not finding purchase |
| 12745s | whatsoever and they need to start |
| 12746s | answering back as you said they're not |
| 12748s | quite in a reverse sweep situation but |
| 12752s | if they can't win on their next map pick |
| 12753s | they absolutely are going to be so it is |
| 12755s | going to be a must win as we turn our |
| 12756s | sites over to escort we'll see where |
| 12758s | they go if they can get a win when we |
| 12759s | return for the break |

| 12979s | and welcome back a 2-0 lead here for the |
| 12981s | side of the gladiators but before we go |
| 12983s | back into the series and see whether or |
| 12985s | not they can take it the match point a |
| 12986s | reminder to pick up your royal night |
| 12988s | mercy skin as it's only on sale for a |
| 12990s | little bit longer august the 19th is how |
| 12992s | long you have to invest your 200 tokens |
| 12995s | to be able to pick up that skin |
| 12997s | otherwise once it disappears it's gone |
| 12999s | for good so make sure you guys grab it |
| 13001s | while the getting is good now we can |
| 13003s | focus back in on to the series the san |
| 13005s | francisco shock so far have had two map |
| 13007s | picks with zero victories have not been |
| 13010s | able to find any firm ground to stand on |
| 13012s | so far avril |
| 13014s | certainly not |
| 13016s | and the winner of this will have their |
| 13017s | colors on that royal mercy as well so |
| 13020s | it's gonna be purple is it gonna be |
| 13021s | orange i wonder this will decide |
| 13024s | a couple perplexing moments on ice |
| 13026s | involved a reminder that was the san |
| 13028s | francisco sharks map choice we'll talk |
| 13030s | about the substitutions in a minute i |
| 13031s | did decipher what ended up happening |
| 13033s | with finn's transcendence there uh you |
| 13035s | wouldn't believe it but the player that |
| 13036s | actually pressured finn to use the |
| 13038s | trance wasn't kepster it wasn't bad but |
| 13040s | was actually shoe shoe walked up as the |
| 13042s | ana player |
| 13043s | locked on damage on towards finn forced |
| 13046s | him to trance and then after the trans |
| 13048s | finish shu also then slept then and lead |
| 13050s | it to the led to the fin death as well |
| 13053s | so uh figure that mystery out insane |
| 13055s | play by shoe in that moment to be able |
| 13058s | to get that ultimate out then kill finn |
| 13059s | afterwards as well afterwards i mean |
| 13060s | that's just ridiculous right |
| 13062s | yeah well there you go and we've solved |
| 13064s | the unsolvable mystery and it didn't |
| 13066s | even take a one-hour long youtube video |
| 13068s | to uh go over the entire story of it all |
| 13071s | so huge is continuing to do wonderful |
| 13073s | things uh as he is known to do in that |
| 13075s | support role i mean we've seen you know |
| 13077s | we think back to the the clutch from him |
| 13080s | on havana at that point b defense do you |
| 13082s | think back to all the sleeps that he's |
| 13083s | been connecting onto proper to help them |
| 13085s | get out on illios and he can use to |
| 13087s | deliver for the gladiators i'm glad you |
| 13089s | brought havana because you know the shoe |
| 13091s | moments just keep racking up high stakes |
| 13093s | environments big pressure games |
| 13096s | shoe got them a stage title last year |
| 13100s | it was a part of the kickoff class |
| 13101s | championship this year as well let's see |
| 13103s | if we can get it done now skewed by his |
| 13105s | side arms being subbed in as well |
| 13108s | important that you know what map we are |
| 13109s | going to match up analysis for me in |
| 13111s | terms of the map drafting says that we |
| 13113s | should have gone to circuit royale has |
| 13116s | been a monstrously good map for the san |
| 13118s | francisco shock fantastic win rate |
| 13120s | proper gets to play the sojourn on that |
| 13122s | map as well |
| 13123s | and uh kilos widowmaker has been popping |
| 13126s | off so it's a it's a great map that the |
| 13127s | shock have had great times on however |
| 13129s | they have chosen to go to gibraltar this |
| 13131s | one's a little perplexing to me i don't |
| 13132s | know if i agree with it because the |
| 13134s | gladiators just won this map versus the |
| 13135s | atlanta reign |
| 13137s | in a situation where i think there has |
| 13139s | been some fair criticism towards anza's |
| 13141s | performance so far this tournament |
| 13142s | hasn't been up to keep up with the top |
| 13143s | widows of the entire league or the top |
| 13145s | hitscans of the league so far in their |
| 13147s | match-ups but they did beat kai they did |
| 13150s | beat the the atlanta right and further |
| 13152s | than that achilles actually full held on |
| 13154s | a |
| 13154s | so they dominated the atlanta reign on |
| 13157s | this map and get shock are going to take |
| 13159s | us here could kilo still beat arms |
| 13161s | likely but you're not going to get the |
| 13163s | proper surgeon unless he chooses to play |
| 13165s | it you're not going to get the colluge |
| 13167s | sigma either which has been a big boon |
| 13168s | for the shock |
| 13172s | well |
| 13173s | seemingly the shock i mean of course |
| 13175s | having watched that series let's say |
| 13177s | yeah we think we can beat this taking a |
| 13179s | look at that full hold defense so |
| 13181s | time will tell but again if they want to |
| 13184s | avoid |
| 13186s | that reverse sweep |
| 13188s | necessity they have to get a victory |
| 13189s | here let's see how they fare now |
| 13191s | starting things off on that defense keel |
| 13192s | of course going to be on the widowmaker |
| 13194s | yeah to hunt down ons |
| 13196s | we didn't get to see the bnc off inside |
| 13198s | of glads last time because well again |
| 13200s | the full hold was there but vlad's |
| 13202s | attack first now arms versus kilo |
| 13204s | very important match up and kilo strikes |
| 13207s | first blood this has been a bit of an |
| 13209s | issue for arn's over the course of the |
| 13210s | tournament he needs to get the better |
| 13212s | aquila because last time in the upper |
| 13214s | bracket on circle rail when they met |
| 13215s | kilo had his number almost every time |
| 13219s | that he did |
| 13221s | not the |
| 13222s | performances that we have you know very |
| 13224s | much come to anticipate from ons who's |
| 13226s | you know put on clinics and look like |
| 13228s | the best hitscan player in the world at |
| 13230s | times |
| 13232s | needs to get back into that form right |
| 13234s | here regain the name the onsen sniper |
| 13236s | where he debuted many many moons ago in |
| 13238s | 2018 tenders |
| 13242s | it's a young talent coming through |
| 13243s | that's just been so phenomenal mn3 kilo |
| 13246s | just to name a couple |
| 13248s | i mean shy only debuted last year as |
| 13250s | well |
| 13251s | yeah sleep on to mikey as uh there we go |
| 13254s | i only get one back okay opportunity |
| 13256s | gladiators they can use this five versus |
| 13258s | four they need to start taking some map |
| 13260s | control they are both high ground and |
| 13261s | their payload pushing to where they want |
| 13262s | to and now they are able to convert |
| 13264s | further look at that |
| 13265s | oh dear yeah it's uh falling apart here |
| 13268s | from the side of the shock so far on |
| 13269s | this point a gladiator just pushed |
| 13271s | through on just right up against the |
| 13273s | back side there up mikey does not care |
| 13276s | knows that he is perfectly safe as we'll |
| 13277s | take a look back at the opening pick |
| 13279s | that led to this spiral out of control |
| 13282s | slim margins to work with but spots the |
| 13284s | feet gets the head and now the point |
| 13286s | broken open and capped 4 45 in the time |
| 13288s | bank for the gladiators to work through |
| 13289s | as they enter into the hangar |
| 13291s | and paid attention to the else as well |
| 13292s | mikey only just got the primal so shot |
| 13294s | couldn't quite get those ultimates |
| 13296s | online irons continues to get picks here |
| 13298s | this is great for the gladiators they're |
| 13299s | able to snowball effectively off a |
| 13301s | single snipe of the kilo think of the |
| 13303s | 0.8 capture they have or about to get |
| 13306s | shuttle control as well shock could not |
| 13308s | defend with the lack of ultimate it's a |
| 13310s | simple five versus for advantage that |
| 13312s | gladiators are able to convert into |
| 13313s | further kills and their map control |
| 13315s | looking great right now kilo can't even |
| 13317s | respond to the infrasight |
| 13319s | we cannot kev's just shoving forward |
| 13321s | spotting him |
| 13323s | chipping away at his old toes there |
| 13325s | throwing out those shurikens fine spin |
| 13327s | kilo will be able to answer one back as |
| 13328s | reiner gets dropped no nano to be found |
| 13330s | there now it's gonna be used |
| 13332s | actually to keep him alive as they turn |
| 13334s | the sights over to mikey |
| 13336s | anteater rather discord it up makes his |
| 13338s | exit the cleanups there on a proper the |
| 13340s | card continues to roll forward |
| 13341s | gladiators making a fantastic pace right |
| 13344s | now through towards point b and if they |
| 13346s | can get this cap the time bank is once |
| 13347s | more gonna be bumped up and be massive |
| 13349s | violent antioxidants |
| 13351s | does have that transcendence online the |
| 13352s | capture gets on top of kilo takes him |
| 13354s | down now finn out in the middle of |
| 13356s | nowhere nate does go through does |
| 13357s | antioxidant but he is still more than |
| 13359s | saved stupid out back and forth here |
| 13361s | gets proper just get topped up by the |
| 13362s | transcendence they sustain them for a |
| 13364s | little bit longer but now as that |
| 13365s | expires right up the bible gets on top |
| 13366s | of violent finds the elimination looks |
| 13368s | for a little bit more juggles finn away |
| 13370s | from the respawn room and with this stop |
| 13372s | looks for the final kill pops the bubble |
| 13375s | the cap is there in the meantime kilo |
| 13377s | able to find kebster but cool i guess at |
| 13380s | the end of it all a nice sniper reiner |
| 13382s | to go ahead and take down the widowmaker |
| 13383s | and it's four and a half minutes plus |
| 13385s | for the gladiators in the final stretch |
| 13387s | yeah masterful stuff that is flawless |
| 13389s | map control coming through for the |
| 13390s | gladiators again snowballing off a |
| 13392s | single pick from irons all the way back |
| 13394s | on a pushing through the tunnel gets |
| 13397s | that kill on the kilo and we are |
| 13398s | snowballing ultimates positioning map |
| 13401s | control everything three ultimates by |
| 13402s | the way spent by the shock you had what |
| 13404s | is it infrastate primal and nano uh |
| 13406s | eventually to nothing there they also |
| 13408s | could not force the kips to play it out |
| 13410s | so gibson still gets to hold on to that |
| 13411s | with the nano about to come online for |
| 13413s | both teams and nanoblades could decide |
| 13415s | the next fight |
| 13419s | could be everything but the shock they |
| 13420s | need to find something they need to get |
| 13422s | a win game card control for the very |
| 13423s | first time here in this map |
| 13425s | ons once more |
| 13427s | looking for a pick the next infrasight |
| 13429s | nearly there is he is just laughing |
| 13430s | things down in this regard blades come |
| 13432s | through proper gonna be able to find |
| 13434s | skewed been taken down but that is the |
| 13435s | support duo gone from the top of the |
| 13437s | gladiators to the shock should be able |
| 13438s | to play off the back of this and finally |
| 13440s | establish some form of card control |
| 13442s | especially with ons dying on the back |
| 13443s | end a good chase there from mikey and |
| 13445s | they will at long last be able to hold |
| 13447s | this |
| 13448s | that's double supports down for the side |
| 13450s | of the gladiator shot get one extra fin |
| 13452s | indeed does die no nano popped onto |
| 13454s | proper but shu also dies luckily the |
| 13456s | nana on the capsule so neither of our |
| 13458s | blades |
| 13459s | ends up being |
| 13461s | narrow up for the extra |
| 13463s | and alley gladiators not able to get too |
| 13465s | much distance off that another five |
| 13467s | versus four surely this one is again |
| 13469s | very usable by the glads no response by |
| 13472s | shock hilo's too far away from the |
| 13473s | oversight |
| 13474s | well i think the widowmakers are one and |
| 13476s | one against each other that is going to |
| 13477s | be on very much taking a lead over top |
| 13479s | of the proper shutting him down once |
| 13480s | more swap over to the tracer now as the |
| 13482s | dive goes through reiner with the nano |
| 13484s | gets on top of it finds that elimination |
| 13486s | looks for a little bit more let's go |
| 13487s | ahead and knock a couple people back |
| 13488s | into the respawn room cart getting |
| 13490s | closer and closer here as they once more |
| 13492s | look for the contest violet dropping low |
| 13494s | doesn't the trance yet however |
| 13496s | holds on to that with the pick off on |
| 13497s | the shoe and now on's dying seems like |
| 13500s | the shock should once more be able to |
| 13501s | hold this card for a little bit longer |
| 13503s | the skewed would have loved to transfer |
| 13504s | but not available there so ryder takes a |
| 13506s | bunch of damage has to come back on in |
| 13508s | shock |
| 13509s | they able to actually match the |
| 13511s | ultimates now a fantastic a and b push |
| 13513s | has been stalled out significantly |
| 13515s | shocked |
| 13516s | have equaled in fact greater ultimates |
| 13518s | then the ali gladiators are finally |
| 13519s | killer will get the first blood instead |
| 13521s | ons has had a couple of those in the |
| 13523s | past you see this very tricky venom mind |
| 13524s | spot as well ends up being a head glitch |
| 13527s | kilo can see through it can fire through |
| 13529s | it arms if he shoots kilo it's going to |
| 13530s | hit the mine instead and we actually got |
| 13532s | a look of that i believe in the shock |
| 13534s | version of the dragons game where uh |
| 13536s | yeah on cigarette lip actually shot the |
| 13538s | vet in mind and did not hit kilo for |
| 13539s | that exact same play |
| 13542s | it's cheesy but you take advantage of |
| 13544s | everything you possibly can in this type |
| 13546s | of series this |
| 13547s | will be destroyed by cancer who moves |
| 13549s | forward |
| 13550s | out of that position |
| 13552s | denies the sidelines but oh |
| 13554s | great shot there hits ryder but ons gets |
| 13556s | violent once more coming up with a |
| 13558s | massive kill to open the fight for the |
| 13560s | side of the gladiator so now can start |
| 13561s | moving the card forward and this is just |
| 13563s | such a wash here the cleanup coming in |
| 13565s | violet and desperation transcendence |
| 13567s | making his way out of the spawn room |
| 13568s | just to keep this car contested 0.66 |
| 13570s | meters left to go but he will die and no |
| 13572s | one else can get the touch in time you |
| 13573s | can see the desperate reaper coming |
| 13575s | through |
| 13576s | as some olsen celebration popped the |
| 13579s | gladiators finished with a minute and 31 |
| 13580s | in the time bank |
| 13582s | yeah that's a decent finish coming on |
| 13583s | through and again as a reminder we did |
| 13585s | have a full hold on a versus atlanta |
| 13587s | look if shock loses map |
| 13590s | you have to significantly question why |
| 13592s | circuit royale was not the map choice |
| 13594s | here |
| 13595s | again oh yeah a situation where proper |
| 13598s | sojourn was more than dead lifting i |
| 13600s | believe he had one third final blows |
| 13602s | versus alley gladius on that map you're |
| 13604s | also forcing glads to rotate space in a |
| 13607s | player that hasn't had the greatest |
| 13608s | amount of scrim time with the team |
| 13610s | glides would prefer to not be subbing |
| 13612s | space and keep rhino in because again he |
| 13614s | is their starting tank player here arms |
| 13616s | is also heated up so the one area that |
| 13618s | shock should have an advantage in this |
| 13620s | kilo versus on sniper jewel has so far |
| 13623s | heavily gone the way of ons now kilo is |
| 13625s | attacking can he get the good sight |
| 13626s | lines on the attacking side can he get |
| 13628s | those |
| 13629s | initial first bloods that he did |
| 13631s | actually get |
| 13632s | on gibraltar a that then went missing |
| 13635s | take a look at arms again in terms of |
| 13636s | how he set all of this up |
| 13639s | boom he also noticed a headshot coming |
| 13641s | through from kilo on to rhino as well |
| 13643s | but of course ryan is a winston player |
| 13645s | filer gets killed and this is just a |
| 13646s | further snowball where mikey after being |
| 13648s | slipped can't do anything about it shock |
| 13650s | did not respond with anything they had |
| 13652s | no frags while it would love to trance |
| 13654s | but he was the first one down |
| 13658s | another fantastic sleep |
| 13660s | stopping |
| 13661s | all attempts from the side of the shock |
| 13662s | to get an advantage |
| 13664s | and look for it that's good |
| 13666s | a nice deflection |
| 13667s | violet i know one for one actually is |
| 13669s | what it is here yeah |
| 13670s | they did both get slept |
| 13672s | little minor exchanges kilo routing i |
| 13675s | think he might have just seen hans's |
| 13676s | head there |
| 13678s | for a brief a little moment spotting him |
| 13681s | is the first step nailing the shot |
| 13682s | that's the second one the most important |
| 13684s | step see what happens now as you were |
| 13686s | teeing it up |
| 13688s | with these aggressive sidelines can he |
| 13690s | find some success to break open this |
| 13692s | push |
| 13694s | already positioning quite far back just |
| 13695s | over top the point itself is ryan takes |
| 13697s | a nap will just be naturally woken up |
| 13700s | payload on the move is all every single |
| 13701s | time that arms goes for a top side peak |
| 13704s | it ends up being shot going for a bottom |
| 13706s | side pinky akilos sort of overwatch |
| 13709s | positioning here i'm not talking about |
| 13710s | just the game here but obviously the |
| 13712s | uh |
| 13712s | strategy the bryant down though this is |
| 13714s | gonna be map control taken by the shock |
| 13717s | dead in the stairwell could make his way |
| 13719s | back over to his supports nor the health |
| 13720s | pack to try to stay safe now caps are |
| 13722s | trying to get aggressive dives in the |
| 13724s | background |
| 13725s | damn thing ends up getting taken out |
| 13726s | chewed dead all right looks like shock |
| 13729s | here to play their own push here on a |
| 13732s | point a looking just as successful as |
| 13734s | the gladiator saw a massive time bank |
| 13736s | with 5 15 now |
| 13737s | lock button |
| 13739s | glads in the same position was able to |
| 13740s | snowball and be so they had the opening |
| 13742s | frags i believe on's got further kills |
| 13744s | that allow glad to take shuttle control |
| 13746s | so can shock also do that it's not just |
| 13748s | good enough to get a cleanly you have to |
| 13750s | snowball on to be they have first nano |
| 13752s | available both in for sights going to be |
| 13754s | even here as well violet slightly |
| 13756s | further ahead than skewed |
| 13757s | shu is catching up |
| 13760s | i mean everyone knows how infamous this |
| 13761s | point is for trying to attack through |
| 13764s | once the doors have shut reiner again |
| 13766s | getting right over and lower than his |
| 13767s | score out of him he manages to make his |
| 13768s | way over to the mega pack but he still |
| 13770s | needs to get somebody blocked bubble |
| 13771s | coming down to try and deny it he goes |
| 13772s | down to the slip of hp comes around the |
| 13774s | corner and now mikey says okay lots of |
| 13776s | people inside the drop ship on top of |
| 13777s | the primal looks to cleave them down but |
| 13779s | still takes a significant amount of |
| 13780s | damage makes his exit for a brief little |
| 13782s | moment kilo in the meantime going to be |
| 13783s | cooper stopped by reiner mikey gets |
| 13785s | eliminated might have been asleep into |
| 13787s | the headshot there from ons either way |
| 13789s | they break down the winston and now the |
| 13791s | rest of the kills follows the knife |
| 13792s | staggers to be found as violet tries to |
| 13794s | make his exit drops down grabs the |
| 13796s | health pack the zap not gonna connect so |
| 13797s | he will live the fight another day but |
| 13799s | it's gonna be the gladiator stopping up |
| 13800s | the shot denying the snowball yeah |
| 13803s | nano trader for primal there is all |
| 13804s | mikey going for the big place he nearly |
| 13806s | had ryan ryder jumps through mikey's |
| 13808s | body as well so nearly had that body |
| 13810s | block that would have confirmed ryan's |
| 13812s | death or at least that minimum maybe |
| 13813s | force at the prime range i can't |
| 13814s | remember if he had it or not |
| 13816s | kilo stopping over towards a tracer |
| 13818s | arn's getting that kill once again they |
| 13820s | lose all sniper pressure arms can now |
| 13821s | freely snipe assuming no one jumps on |
| 13823s | top of them and free in for sight here |
| 13825s | as well |
| 13827s | spying out everybody there |
| 13829s | minor contest from proper will be able |
| 13830s | to build up towards that blade a little |
| 13832s | bit faster nano in the meantime invest |
| 13833s | it over to mikey and he's gonna be slept |
| 13834s | once more pushed back away as they hold |
| 13837s | up the right click charge a hell of a |
| 13839s | lot of damage down on him as well as the |
| 13840s | ante but so far he has not died ryan now |
| 13842s | coming for the reinforcements |
| 13843s | again gets proper in the head i swear |
| 13847s | ons he's been a sleeper agent that's why |
| 13848s | he has been performing i spoke the magic |
| 13850s | words i initiated the code yeah sniper |
| 13853s | and now he is awoken |
| 13855s | absolutely and this is the answer we've |
| 13858s | been waiting for very much asleep in the |
| 13860s | previous few matches |
| 13861s | but in the finals now in the most |
| 13863s | important game on his map as well a very |
| 13866s | important escort right he needs to be |
| 13868s | the player to take control he certainly |
| 13869s | is |
| 13871s | naked at 13 odds he's back online at |
| 13873s | shock have no answer |
| 13875s | well for the shock fans i'm so sorry to |
| 13877s | have awoken him but it's great to see |
| 13880s | all the same for just widow and hans |
| 13882s | appreciators across the board |
| 13886s | knows that the pressure is mounting in |
| 13888s | this grand final series and he is hungry |
| 13890s | for the win |
| 13893s | this man who led the shark to a |
| 13895s | championship victory in 2020 |
| 13898s | now on the other team |
| 13900s | came back in 2021 an unfortunate season |
| 13903s | for the san francisco shock but proper |
| 13904s | does get kept down five at support |
| 13906s | finally kill the shock |
| 13908s | make this advantage work is desperate |
| 13910s | for a trade on the back end quite the |
| 13912s | force trance |
| 13914s | robert looking to contest him drops down |
| 13916s | grabs the health pack or harmony out |
| 13917s | onto odds to go ahead and keep him alive |
| 13919s | he grapples to the opposite side he's |
| 13920s | looking for the point blank shot but a |
| 13921s | flight coming through that's just not |
| 13922s | enough damage but mikey's arrival they |
| 13924s | will finally be able to take him down |
| 13926s | kilo he finds the taste of the genji as |
| 13928s | well headshot there to kevster |
| 13930s | to go ahead and try to break this open a |
| 13932s | little bit more |
| 13932s | halfway there just about a little bit |
| 13934s | over that as the cart push now continues |
| 13936s | a team kill |
| 13938s | can there be a final contest with reiner |
| 13940s | not respawned i guess the answer is |
| 13942s | probably like no could try to go for it |
| 13944s | but no it's not going to arrive in time |
| 13946s | the cap will be there 3 15. |
| 13948s | final stretch |
| 13949s | yeah there's a bunch of look at the |
| 13951s | shark supports in the left side they |
| 13952s | might have the reason here they could be |
| 13953s | in a lot of trouble |
| 13955s | getting down okay yes sir sharks gonna |
| 13957s | get this made up yeah this is a big |
| 13958s | resemble glass they lose three members |
| 13960s | for absolutely nothing tequila got a |
| 13962s | couple of important frags in their kilo |
| 13964s | looking for his power to flash in this |
| 13966s | grand finals |
| 13967s | onsen sniper has been activated on b |
| 13971s | an x-shock member who led them to a |
| 13972s | victory now on the other end looking to |
| 13974s | put glads on line four a back-to-back |
| 13977s | championship in for sight for infra |
| 13979s | sight 131 is the target glads that's |
| 13982s | their time back shock 2 30 to play |
| 13984s | through they need to cap in the next |
| 13985s | minute to be up to match feels like this |
| 13988s | is probably the first time that they've |
| 13989s | been able to have these coupled together |
| 13991s | the kilo shot down immediately kepster |
| 13993s | pulling the blade into the back line |
| 13994s | he's trying to deal with violet but they |
| 13996s | keep him alive and violet shuts them |
| 13998s | down |
| 14001s | good returning kill reiner as well just |
| 14004s | melted there nowhere to go |
| 14007s | he's locked down to the nano goes |
| 14008s | forward |
| 14009s | they can confirm the kill |
| 14011s | cart now gliding forward the time |
| 14013s | looking decent here for the side of the |
| 14014s | shock to be able to to go ahead and tie |
| 14016s | things up mikey as well with a final pop |
| 14018s | gets on top of bob's shuts him down |
| 14020s | ryder rejoining just get the zap away at |
| 14022s | violet trying to take him out |
| 14024s | because he's still going to blame him |
| 14026s | starting to come in proper draw the |
| 14027s | blade he's looking for shoe he's not |
| 14028s | going to be able to find a forces back |
| 14030s | into the respawn room however the car |
| 14031s | once more gonna be the demanding point |
| 14032s | someone's gonna go for the touch reiner |
| 14034s | there primal popped he's trying to stay |
| 14036s | alive 2.6 meters left to go excuse me to |
| 14037s | be taken down but by the treated it out |
| 14039s | so no zenyatta's in the fight now but on |
| 14041s | returning on the cassidy instantly dealt |
| 14043s | with by mikey |
| 14044s | ryder and desperation just sitting in |
| 14046s | the bubble watch the time being behind |
| 14047s | the card trying to deny as many times as |
| 14049s | he possibly can and she was here to back |
| 14050s | him up does hold on to that nano boost |
| 14052s | should they need a bit of a bailout she |
| 14054s | now gonna be retaking the occupation |
| 14055s | duties of the card making sure there's |
| 14057s | no fat cap to be found in fact there's |
| 14059s | gonna be some roll back here so a little |
| 14060s | bit more breathing room now for the |
| 14061s | gladiators |
| 14064s | then onto rival |
| 14066s | ryder rather no problem just yet but |
| 14067s | he's going in deep regardless kev's off |
| 14069s | the kilo shot half the real back they've |
| 14071s | now divided response was a nano for now |
| 14073s | trade but shock a guarantee to lose this |
| 14074s | fight they need to engage they need to |
| 14076s | get out of here they need to reset right |
| 14077s | here right now a minute about to be back |
| 14079s | in the time bank |
| 14080s | and spin it's not going to be able to |
| 14082s | stay alive |
| 14083s | one last push here for the side of the |
| 14085s | shock looking like an ot finish |
| 14088s | if they can get it done |
| 14089s | that is so good absolutely so good |
| 14092s | about a minute ago it was looking like a |
| 14094s | very good push they just had to get the |
| 14095s | gladiators ultimates out a lot of just |
| 14098s | stalling ultimates available back in |
| 14099s | that last fight we had transcendence we |
| 14101s | had primal speaker which is now going to |
| 14102s | be online for the side obviously gladius |
| 14104s | through reiner so that at minimum is |
| 14107s | going to cost more time for shock we're |
| 14108s | no longer talking about getting a good |
| 14110s | time back we're talking about capping |
| 14111s | and the other |
| 14116s | stepping away from the tracer battle for |
| 14117s | just a moment against that order of |
| 14118s | harmony kilo infrasight pop goes up |
| 14121s | looks for ons but he manages to juggle |
| 14123s | back around the corner capture however |
| 14124s | take it down pilot |
| 14125s | able to start things off the right foot |
| 14127s | forward and proper fine skewed two picks |
| 14129s | now here |
| 14131s | we go |
| 14132s | violet gets another one putting the team |
| 14134s | on his back |
| 14136s | primal gonna be popped reiner looking to |
| 14138s | delay this drops back down contests the |
| 14140s | card for a moment retreats down into the |
| 14142s | spawn room gets back out 1.88 meters |
| 14144s | left this capture finds an opening kill |
| 14146s | but didn't gonna be eliminated but now |
| 14147s | kilo gets reiner the transcendence is |
| 14149s | there from violet shoe tries to go in |
| 14150s | for the touch will get picked off one |
| 14152s | after the other the gladiators members |
| 14153s | bleeding down the finish comes through |
| 14156s | in overtime for the shock but they still |
| 14158s | have their work cut out for them a |
| 14160s | minute added as we get ready to go into |
| 14161s | extra innings to two and a half for the |
| 14163s | gladiators |
| 14165s | yeah good picks coming through for a |
| 14166s | shock in that last fight before ryan had |
| 14168s | to pop the primal and |
| 14170s | unfortunately for the alley gladiators |
| 14172s | their ability to stall really starts and |
| 14174s | ends with that primal if rhino is burnt |
| 14177s | down and gladiators can't respawn and |
| 14179s | reinforce while the primal is up and get |
| 14182s | some frags as well they're not going to |
| 14183s | be able to hold on towards c like i |
| 14185s | mentioned no longer looking for |
| 14187s | a time bank for shock we're looking for |
| 14189s | an ot cap they get that got the bonus |
| 14192s | minute coming on through as does the |
| 14193s | gladiators four shocks minute so it's |
| 14195s | 231 now versus just the one both teams |
| 14199s | have not had successful a point defenses |
| 14202s | we've had significant pushes and |
| 14205s | snowballs from a off the back of |
| 14206s | individual picks it was ons of tequila |
| 14209s | for the gladiators attack |
| 14211s | it was reiner dying i believe from the |
| 14213s | san francisco shot killing him that |
| 14215s | allowed the shock to also snowball |
| 14216s | through a i don't know if b is going to |
| 14218s | be relevant in this time bank a is going |
| 14221s | to be the most important thing here |
| 14224s | absolutely |
| 14225s | if b does become relevant then it's |
| 14226s | going to be a a wonderful boon to |
| 14228s | whichever team can make it that far |
| 14230s | let's see violet just caught those shots |
| 14232s | setting up a proper to get in there by |
| 14234s | the follow-up kill and |
| 14235s | violent |
| 14236s | playing angry might not got it now ended |
| 14238s | up this time as he's been the target of |
| 14240s | those dama boots i think three times |
| 14241s | this map so far yeah this time he does |
| 14243s | it without it |
| 14246s | what a wonderful kills very necessary |
| 14248s | that they found those let's see if we |
| 14249s | can do it again now as they start off on |
| 14251s | the attack |
| 14252s | blast from the past achilles you know |
| 14254s | old violet coming on through on that |
| 14256s | zenyatta like we saw on previous seasons |
| 14258s | 2020 season 2019 as well |
| 14261s | on first blood onto kilo here we go this |
| 14264s | is where the glides start to feel a |
| 14265s | little bit more comfortable again no |
| 14266s | time for the shark can't really afford |
| 14268s | to die much more than that 30 seconds |
| 14270s | remaining every meter counts |
| 14274s | the shock will at least breathe easy |
| 14276s | that the underpass is not being |
| 14277s | contested so proper can go ahead and |
| 14279s | escort this card forward try to get it |
| 14280s | up to the top of the ramp here |
| 14283s | a little bit of free distance given now |
| 14284s | the drop down comes through gladiators |
| 14286s | not allowing it to go any further |
| 14288s | for free |
| 14289s | once going on the aggressive angle jumps |
| 14291s | up over the top monkeys in a body block |
| 14292s | however |
| 14293s | denies the sight lines once more |
| 14301s | needing to find a kill over time now |
| 14303s | rolling through the cart once more |
| 14304s | steadily being inched forward reiner |
| 14306s | playing up keeps this one shoes |
| 14309s | back |
| 14310s | somebody's gotta touch oh my goodness |
| 14312s | slip margins mikey almost gives his life |
| 14314s | for it but now odds gets an opening shot |
| 14315s | on defend taking leona's head off nano's |
| 14317s | here a little bit more the nano goes out |
| 14319s | kept there gonna be boosted up doesn't |
| 14321s | have a blade but it might not matter |
| 14322s | cash is through finds violet no supports |
| 14324s | here for the side of the shock mikey |
| 14326s | with a sliver of hp nine percent shy of |
| 14327s | the primal that he will not be able to |
| 14329s | build up and that is as far as it goes |
| 14331s | the gladiators have a very real very |
| 14334s | achievable win condition as they look to |
| 14336s | move up 3-0 |
| 14340s | i'm that i'm afraid i don't know if |
| 14343s | that's enough for the shock in terms of |
| 14344s | distance gained |
| 14346s | 63.67 |
| 14349s | unfortunately no cap |
| 14351s | what ends up happening there is ons the |
| 14352s | first blood on tequila and that can |
| 14354s | honestly decide it all |
| 14357s | first bloods coming through from the |
| 14358s | water makers |
| 14360s | shock having to reset |
| 14362s | 4v5 there losing time giving glad space |
| 14365s | to work through shoe the first nano as |
| 14366s | well |
| 14367s | very important timings there for the |
| 14368s | ultimates because we did not have any |
| 14370s | other ultimates online it was just gonna |
| 14372s | come down to who gets first nano and now |
| 14374s | shark by the way kilo on towards ash |
| 14376s | they have to play far more aggressively |
| 14378s | because that end point for the payload |
| 14381s | is the default end point for when you |
| 14383s | normally just kind of push the payload |
| 14385s | up the hill reset your team go for the |
| 14387s | high ground play and then once you take |
| 14390s | high ground and transition to server you |
| 14391s | can start pushing payload again so this |
| 14393s | is in terms of distance it needed to be |
| 14396s | a lot more that was a pixel from ons as |
| 14398s | well on tequila that is the irons that |
| 14401s | we know and remember |
| 14403s | just absolutely gorgeous shooting from |
| 14406s | ons this whole map throughout |
| 14409s | the gladiators needed him to step up the |
| 14410s | most he has absolutely been delivering |
| 14413s | shock now |
| 14414s | very far forward here on this defense tp |
| 14418s | doesn't get the high ground but what i |
| 14420s | believe on one it gives a little bit of |
| 14422s | a wry smile supporting the team over to |
| 14424s | the club itself which they will get |
| 14426s | moving |
| 14427s | this is going to be a major range |
| 14428s | advantage kilo can not match the range |
| 14429s | by the way double byronite coming up |
| 14430s | through that's got a four shot back |
| 14433s | part of the reason why he might be |
| 14434s | playing for this ash is the bob defense |
| 14436s | as well when you get that you can brawl |
| 14438s | up effectively at medium range with this |
| 14440s | ash and they want to be playing server |
| 14441s | room they have to hold the payload here |
| 14443s | to serve the room is of utmost |
| 14445s | importance |
| 14446s | i thought i might just get a little clip |
| 14448s | there on the kevster for just a moment |
| 14449s | the card |
| 14451s | already |
| 14452s | most of the way there because the shark |
| 14453s | they cannot contest forward in that |
| 14455s | underpass |
| 14456s | just be a death sentence having |
| 14457s | everybody grouped up like that |
| 14460s | once searching for a head good answer |
| 14462s | comes out clips onto three grabs |
| 14464s | stay safe no kills to be found off the |
| 14465s | back of that but it does slow them up |
| 14466s | for a moment if they have to try to top |
| 14468s | up odds and reiner who odds down to a |
| 14469s | sliver and proper does manage to find |
| 14471s | that opening kill but it gives his life |
| 14472s | for it skewed take it out kill it with a |
| 14474s | nice head shot we'll find a shoe |
| 14477s | rhino looks to contest over towards |
| 14478s | server room gets dinked however |
| 14481s | should be able to get cleaned up but now |
| 14482s | he has the leak back off cooldown makes |
| 14483s | his exit |
| 14484s | look at the anna's again this is the key |
| 14486s | point here finn above shoe shoe actually |
| 14488s | died in the previous fight finn did not |
| 14490s | die he also had a three-man bar so he is |
| 14492s | leading an old charge for the shock they |
| 14493s | need everything going their way finn |
| 14495s | actually needs to try |
| 14497s | and not blow this nano too early you |
| 14499s | need to have the sh the gladiators in a |
| 14500s | position where they want to engage and |
| 14502s | you counter with below nano five time a |
| 14505s | minute left |
| 14507s | 1.3 meters left to go they have to take |
| 14509s | glue to this proper a nice opening kill |
| 14511s | that's fine mikey nano managing to stay |
| 14513s | alive for a little bit longer |
| 14514s | with a break does find caps there proper |
| 14516s | proper gonna be taken down by skewed |
| 14517s | once more it seems like the fight should |
| 14519s | widely be one in the body just okay |
| 14520s | reset 45 seconds remaining but no |
| 14522s | they're going to pull the trigger on |
| 14523s | this i'm going to try to fight this one |
| 14524s | out the transcendence shootout for the |
| 14526s | moment there's not enough damage |
| 14528s | to take him down through that makes his |
| 14529s | exit pulls back the primal nearly up |
| 14531s | mikey has popped his own |
| 14533s | look at the alts finn had already used |
| 14534s | his narrator he was forced to use that |
| 14536s | onto mikey a little bit early on this is |
| 14537s | what i'm saying you need to be able to |
| 14539s | save these ultimates if you can longer |
| 14541s | because it has to be a final fight |
| 14542s | victory here for the shock glad now |
| 14544s | multiple odds coming on nano blade |
| 14545s | available primal as well and they're |
| 14546s | going to open up with odds |
| 14549s | kilo's dead the dps take it out of the |
| 14551s | fight odds once more delivers and skewed |
| 14553s | plays off the back of it beautifully |
| 14555s | finds kilo the rally gonna be canceled |
| 14556s | out the primal rage of reiner taking |
| 14558s | down a violet they've cleared the cart |
| 14560s | they've gotten the push the gladiators |
| 14562s | once more win out on a shock map pick |
| 14566s | and now they bring this to match point a |
| 14568s | 3-0 as the coaching staff from |
| 14571s | gladiators dropping trash in the chat |
| 14573s | they aren't match point they are looking |
| 14575s | to take this with a clean sweep they say |
| 14577s | we know you have been on a win streak |
| 14579s | but we are ending it in decisive fashion |
| 14581s | here today |
| 14583s | yeah shark right now they have to climb |
| 14584s | out of their bend they have to get the |
| 14585s | reverse sweep now it wasn't a reverse |
| 14588s | sweep scenario before but now it |
| 14589s | unfortunately is push comes up next most |
| 14593s | likely going to be seen color sierra but |
| 14594s | it is good for both teams shock may need |
| 14597s | to consider going to new queen street |
| 14599s | instead taking the gladiators to |
| 14600s | somewhere a little bit less familiar |
| 14603s | that ended up being a major macro win |
| 14604s | for the alleged gladius arms came a big |
| 14606s | time all the doubts evaporated gone now |
| 14609s | arms is back baby and the gladiators are |
| 14611s | up 3-0 |
| 14613s | absolutely beautifully done so far here |
| 14616s | from the side of the gladiators and we |
| 14617s | were teeing this up going into this map |
| 14618s | and now it has become an unfortunate |
| 14620s | reality for the shock they need to pull |
| 14623s | off a reverse sweep if they want to be |
| 14625s | victorious if they want to be holding |
| 14627s | their heads high at the end of this as |
| 14628s | the champions of the mid-season madness |
| 14630s | our first international tournament here |
| 14632s | in the 2022 season otherwise they might |
| 14635s | just be going out not with a roar but |
| 14637s | with a whimper the gladiators hungry for |
| 14639s | the win we'll see if they can close it |
| 14640s | out as we once more go to a shock matt |
| 14642s | pick for push |
| 14649s | so |

| 14886s | pound story is just like one of the best |
| 14887s | in overwatch it's gonna be panapanda |
| 14889s | tries to let him go straight away it's |
| 14890s | gonna be a nano attack as well a lot of |
| 14892s | damage in the back line and there it is |
| 14894s | four kills from padapan jaw hits the |
| 14896s | ground even he can't believe it he comes |
| 14898s | up with the ice and look at the pressure |
| 14900s | come off his shoulders he was able to |
| 14902s | take those struggles early on in stage |
| 14904s | improve and reiterate his game and |
| 14906s | finally just figure it |
| 14912s | the out and patapan going a little bit |
| 14913s | lower than he so chooses but still |
| 14916s | kevster routing the dallas fuel he comes |
| 14919s | back right the visor |
| 14921s | on the back the big grab from hard bit |
| 14924s | the nade on top but the gladiators are |
| 14926s | just tearing them apart he's up on the |
| 14928s | high ground he's just highlighted |
| 14930s | and they can't do it the gladiators have |
| 14931s | done it |
| 14932s | a four and zero |
| 14935s | and you can tell how much this means |
| 14946s | and welcome back with patan stepping |
| 14947s | back in he is once more gonna be looking |
| 14949s | to lift a trophy but first before we can |
| 14951s | focus on him and the rest of the |
| 14952s | gladiators are now match point let's |
| 14954s | take a closer look at the widowmaker |
| 14955s | battle here on watchpoint gibraltar |
| 14958s | yeah and you have to remember as well |
| 14959s | there was a period of time where kilo |
| 14960s | actually hopped off the water maker i |
| 14962s | don't know if he just he was feeling the |
| 14964s | heat didn't want that smoke anymore but |
| 14966s | arms man this guy has been piping hot on |
| 14968s | gibraltar today the scope has been |
| 14971s | landing shots nearly double the screw |
| 14973s | scoped critical hit accuracy 29-15 |
| 14976s | five more final blows |
| 14978s | includes uh seven more scope critical |
| 14980s | hits there as well with a bunch more |
| 14981s | damage obviously lower deaths widowmaker |
| 14984s | is in the hands of arms he is the og |
| 14987s | water maker in terms of original |
| 14989s | dominance that we saw in earlier seasons |
| 14991s | it took a while for ants to come on back |
| 14992s | but my god of course what a game to do |
| 14995s | it on the grand finals for answer step |
| 14997s | up yeah |
| 14999s | yeah and you know obviously a lot of i |
| 15000s | think deserved scrutiny for the most |
| 15002s | part of on in some of his performances |
| 15004s | when he has been coming through in this |
| 15006s | event but like you said this is the |
| 15008s | moment this is where it matters the most |
| 15009s | and it can shut up the people who are |
| 15010s | saying like you know this guy is washed |
| 15012s | he should retire anybody who's saying |
| 15014s | those things you should retire as well |
| 15015s | because your bronze placements in in you |
| 15017s | know a ladder season aren't good enough |
| 15018s | so just just quit if you can't do a good |
| 15020s | performance one day no ons he still has |
| 15023s | that talent he just hasn't been able to |
| 15024s | tap into it but the magic words were |
| 15025s | spoken onsen sniper he woke up sleeper |
| 15029s | agent was activated and he absolutely |
| 15032s | destroyed the shock time and time again |
| 15035s | yeah shark put him on the glass thought |
| 15036s | he was their sleeper agent but nope on |
| 15038s | swap sides he's done the purple armor |
| 15041s | now |
| 15042s | paddy will be coming in in a hot second |
| 15043s | for the next map it is arn's coming in |
| 15046s | to win his favorite escort and there |
| 15048s | will be another escort if the series |
| 15051s | goes deep enough that's exactly what the |
| 15053s | shock have to do the good news is |
| 15055s | by the time we get to a next escort if |
| 15058s | we even do get there |
| 15059s | has to be a circuit royale the shock |
| 15062s | cannot make the mistake of going to a |
| 15065s | map like gibraltar again obviously both |
| 15066s | will be out of the pool now |
| 15068s | dorado's still in there circuit rail is |
| 15071s | far too good to pass up and the alley |
| 15072s | gladiators |
| 15074s | on |
| 15075s | the victory march now |
| 15077s | three straight maps in a row |
| 15080s | violet looking for another chip |
| 15082s | shark looking for another chip |
| 15084s | all these rookies on this team looking |
| 15086s | for their first ever championship in the |
| 15088s | overwatch league but it's the alec |
| 15090s | gladiators that have won the kickoff |
| 15092s | clash defending champions looking like |
| 15095s | they might go back to back |
| 15097s | yeah i mean you think back to the |
| 15098s | kickoff clash and shock knocked down the |
| 15100s | lower bracket defeated by the dallas |
| 15102s | fuel falling shy of being able to make |
| 15104s | it into the grand final now they find |
| 15106s | themselves here and that pressure is |
| 15108s | very real that can very much affect you |
| 15110s | when you are a rookie player this is the |
| 15112s | highest stake match that you have been |
| 15114s | playing in and yeah it's not just the |
| 15116s | trophy it's not just the accolades and |
| 15118s | everything that you are playing for you |
| 15120s | are also playing for a massive cash |
| 15122s | prize of 500 000 |
| 15124s | doubling the money if you can make it |
| 15126s | out of this being the champions |
| 15128s | right now it just does not look great we |
| 15131s | have to just wait and see though a |
| 15132s | reverse sweep is what is necessary for |
| 15135s | the side of the shock if they want to |
| 15136s | walk be walking away with the maximum |
| 15138s | points with the maximum cash in their |
| 15139s | pockets i gotta say as well shock have |
| 15141s | had every single mad pick |
| 15144s | they have first seed coming in ilios was |
| 15146s | their choice |
| 15147s | a map that glads |
| 15149s | very much enjoy going to enables them to |
| 15151s | play lucio for fighting astro was the |
| 15153s | key map that got them the win versus the |
| 15156s | spark as well in previous matches in |
| 15158s | this tournament |
| 15160s | shock takers to i convolved it which to |
| 15161s | be fair that is their signature map but |
| 15163s | it was also a map that they are expected |
| 15165s | to win not winning with their key diva |
| 15167s | pick from college on |
| 15169s | ikovalde is catastrophic then going to |
| 15172s | map three |
| 15174s | high expectations to take us back to |
| 15176s | circuit royale where proper popped off |
| 15178s | on that sojourn |
| 15180s | 20-something final blows |
| 15182s | out of i think 28 eliminations so he |
| 15185s | basically got all the kills |
| 15187s | kilo was defeating arn's handedly on |
| 15190s | that map as well we go to gibraltar |
| 15191s | instead something that reiner would love |
| 15193s | to play |
| 15194s | ella glady has just beat the atlanta |
| 15196s | reign |
| 15197s | very convincingly on that map and now |
| 15199s | finally the map choice between new queen |
| 15201s | street and coliseum and this is where i |
| 15202s | said earlier coliseum i don't know what |
| 15205s | it is about this map |
| 15207s | the gladiators no matter how far behind |
| 15209s | they are and shock capped over a hundred |
| 15211s | meters versus gladiators on this map |
| 15213s | yesterday |
| 15214s | doesn't matter gladiators still came |
| 15216s | back and got the win same thing happens |
| 15219s | versus atlanta still came back got the |
| 15221s | win shock is like we're gonna dodge it |
| 15224s | we are going to dodge it but what we |
| 15225s | notice here as well you'll see that push |
| 15227s | is map number seven if shock want a |
| 15228s | reverse sweep we are gonna have to end |
| 15230s | on coliseum one way or the other for now |
| 15233s | shock trying to stay above water keep |
| 15235s | alive in the series |
| 15237s | proper if you want that mvp |
| 15240s | you need to start winning now |
| 15243s | absolutely and just hasn't been finding |
| 15246s | the same amount of heavy impact that we |
| 15248s | were seeing you know on elios which was |
| 15250s | so very close between the two teams saw |
| 15253s | him very much putting the team on his |
| 15254s | back but |
| 15256s | hasn't had the same amount of impact |
| 15258s | what really is into uh new queen street |
| 15261s | yeah i mean we could probably say that |
| 15263s | eichenwalder probably was one of them |
| 15266s | uh |
| 15267s | again the sojourn circuit would have |
| 15269s | been insane played some decent genji |
| 15272s | there but it was really a map of snipers |
| 15273s | right when we talk about watch my |
| 15275s | gibraltar it's a map between kilo and |
| 15277s | arms fighting for supremacy |
| 15280s | shu is well so impactful on that map |
| 15283s | and now on to new queen street |
| 15285s | where |
| 15286s | mikey the substitution has to come on in |
| 15288s | for this ball to make it work we are |
| 15290s | also by the way sink hilo on towards ash |
| 15292s | i love this this is exactly what we see |
| 15293s | from mn3 and the philadelphia fusion |
| 15295s | where they dominate here i think this is |
| 15297s | a great map for the ash caps on the |
| 15299s | tracer patty on the hanzo that is going |
| 15301s | to be a bit of a swap out patty normally |
| 15303s | does play the sergeant as well |
| 15305s | we've seen hanzo on this map a couple of |
| 15306s | times few and far between but yeah no |
| 15308s | sojourn a little bit |
| 15310s | interesting to see here |
| 15311s | i'm gonna maybe catch that a little bit |
| 15313s | with this pickup |
| 15314s | and i don't think |
| 15316s | the ash is really within padded powder |
| 15317s | pancreatic either so this is going to be |
| 15319s | that something that shocked you |
| 15320s | like ladies are not going to be able to |
| 15322s | match they always run the doom here |
| 15323s | whereas i think in recent games that |
| 15325s | we've seen for queen street the ball has |
| 15328s | been preferable here goes the kill first |
| 15331s | yeah and there's gonna be the follow-up |
| 15332s | writer getting on top of proper seismic |
| 15334s | slam on to him |
| 15335s | maybe the punch either way gets the kill |
| 15337s | confirmed spin under some fires kept it |
| 15339s | goes flying forward will be slept but |
| 15341s | can anyone get a punish looks like the |
| 15342s | answer is gonna be no and as i say that |
| 15344s | finn will okay got reiner as well taking |
| 15348s | out a good answer back the bottom hour |
| 15350s | pushing forward 23 meters established |
| 15352s | here for the side of the gladiators the |
| 15353s | shock will be able to answer back off |
| 15355s | the back of finn's picks |
| 15356s | and we'll see who gets the first |
| 15358s | checkpoint reached as well near queen |
| 15359s | street unlike coliseum very much easier |
| 15361s | to find that checkpoint than colossio |
| 15364s | so maybe both people will get it right |
| 15365s | with another kill yeah that's uh another |
| 15367s | first blood for glads |
| 15370s | number that's gonna be that's slowing up |
| 15372s | proper a hell of a lot here only 68 |
| 15374s | percent on that old charge caps are |
| 15375s | about to have the pulse bomb online is |
| 15376s | once more the gladiators take control of |
| 15378s | the bot gonna be gaining some additional |
| 15380s | distance and i can tell you what right |
| 15382s | now if you are a shock fan watching you |
| 15383s | could you better be giving your energy |
| 15385s | in the chat because they absolutely need |
| 15386s | it |
| 15387s | okay your chakras are lying so far shark |
| 15389s | only have two final blows both of them |
| 15390s | are on defense |
| 15394s | they are capture point around the back |
| 15396s | presence known though |
| 15398s | starting to sneak forward get the top of |
| 15399s | kilo and look at the dive coming through |
| 15401s | they're gonna have the nano hands |
| 15403s | but there is the stick to put him in the |
| 15404s | grave |
| 15405s | they say old speed damn you are not |
| 15407s | keeping him in this fight proper will |
| 15408s | finally get his hands dirty taking down |
| 15410s | shoe a key pick up but skewed once more |
| 15413s | finding an elimination for himself takes |
| 15415s | out proper |
| 15417s | spot getting shipped back here finally |
| 15419s | but now patty gets the kill here on |
| 15420s | defend the transcendence pop skewed |
| 15422s | keeping everybody alive this quarter |
| 15424s | about on a mikey he's gonna have to make |
| 15425s | his exit the bot once more in control of |
| 15427s | the gladiators continuing to advance |
| 15429s | forward as milo goes down to the back |
| 15430s | end a massive stagger |
| 15433s | and just more value on the ultimate |
| 15434s | there as well i mean violet had to use |
| 15436s | the nano |
| 15437s | onto i believe it was kilo just to keep |
| 15439s | him alive and then the pulse bomb |
| 15440s | deletes him anyway so glad he is just |
| 15442s | out playing shock and ultimate usage |
| 15444s | proper finally gets a kill but goes down |
| 15446s | straight away rider on one hp and lifts |
| 15447s | he couldn't get cleaned up he's pretty |
| 15449s | low again but can he actually go down he |
| 15451s | might be looking for the minefield in |
| 15452s | the next fight and this would be |
| 15454s | disastrous kilo has to lift he's got the |
| 15455s | ball |
| 15456s | oh patty he does get thinking about kilo |
| 15458s | but he let the dragon strike loose and |
| 15460s | does still meant to find that |
| 15461s | elimination from beyond the grave but |
| 15462s | you produce a spar |
| 15464s | mikey still alive rolling out or sitting |
| 15466s | over trying to grab the health pack that |
| 15467s | is not there in the meantime the bot is |
| 15468s | going to be able to hit the checkpoint |
| 15470s | here in just a moment as the cleanup |
| 15472s | looks to come through excuse taken down |
| 15473s | by the minefield and actually it does |
| 15475s | get denied here the very last second |
| 15476s | with mikey rolling back over so the ford |
| 15478s | spawns not gonna be found couple clean |
| 15480s | up kills here for the side of the shock |
| 15481s | so they open up a bit of distance but |
| 15482s | it's a hell of a lot of distance for |
| 15484s | them to try to claw back |
| 15485s | it's huge from shock actually preventing |
| 15487s | the push from coming on in for the extra |
| 15489s | capture point |
| 15490s | like i sort of said prevents |
| 15492s | first of all |
| 15493s | gladius from confirming the stall on the |
| 15495s | paler which gets removed the next time |
| 15497s | they go forward but also removes gladius |
| 15499s | from obtaining further forward spawns as |
| 15502s | well so glad to respawn much further |
| 15504s | back allowing shock in that position to |
| 15506s | play on in this bob needs to be saved |
| 15508s | until they can threaten their own cap |
| 15511s | he's got to use it never mind it's just |
| 15513s | gonna get used skewed does get dropped |
| 15515s | proper finding one of the roll through |
| 15517s | takes down patty let's reset once more |
| 15519s | gonna be advancing forward now for the |
| 15520s | side of the shock |
| 15521s | seventeen start climbing see how far |
| 15523s | this is the problem use the bob now you |
| 15525s | can't you don't have the bob for the |
| 15527s | actual important fight which is capping |
| 15529s | the actual checkpoint this is the fight |
| 15530s | you have to win glads can just reset |
| 15532s | they say you use bob we back out we |
| 15534s | regroup his five we take a fight now |
| 15536s | with our ultimates and they have a nano |
| 15538s | online nike low |
| 15540s | shock might not be at the cap now it |
| 15542s | might not especially with that pulse |
| 15544s | bomb not connecting |
| 15546s | and it's going to be the gladiators once |
| 15548s | more taking control fit does shut down |
| 15549s | chemistry though kilo gets a nice head |
| 15551s | shot once more going to be nanoed up |
| 15553s | hiding around the back side of the box |
| 15554s | putting some shots there in the backside |
| 15555s | of ryan he's now going to be taking a |
| 15556s | nap |
| 15557s | doesn't have the meteor strike but as |
| 15559s | they wake him up he is dead immediately |
| 15562s | cannot use it the shock do meant to turn |
| 15564s | this fight on its head proper continuing |
| 15565s | to clean up getting both of the supports |
| 15567s | in the back end the checkpoint |
| 15568s | absolutely obtainable for the shock they |
| 15569s | will take the lead |
| 15571s | yeah and especially with reiner going |
| 15572s | down there as well couldn't media strike |
| 15573s | slipped and then just kind of boom by i |
| 15575s | think was finn putting the larvae up the |
| 15577s | volley in there rather ellie glad he is |
| 15580s | losing a bunch of members there so |
| 15581s | shocked despite losing mikey the 4v5 |
| 15583s | they actually outplay the gladiators |
| 15585s | despite the gladiators having ultimates |
| 15587s | available couldn't quite get them in |
| 15588s | there again great sleep down onto rhino |
| 15591s | checkpoint means everything in this game |
| 15596s | that does now playing around with the |
| 15597s | forward spawns kilo again finding a kill |
| 15599s | paddy gonna be taken down |
| 15601s | hamster slinking around the back would |
| 15603s | love to get an elimination but at this |
| 15604s | point |
| 15605s | with how many losses they have suffered |
| 15606s | four people going down just needs to |
| 15608s | hold on to the pulse bomb |
| 15609s | pants they look to retake this but yeah |
| 15611s | this is uh |
| 15612s | a little bit rough for them |
| 15615s | killers there's two fights in a row |
| 15616s | where glads unfortunately aren't able to |
| 15617s | get a transcend they're losing members |
| 15619s | excuse thinking about the situation like |
| 15621s | i could transfer maybe our numbers are |
| 15622s | too low and then he just ends up dying |
| 15623s | with the trance two fights in a row in a |
| 15625s | situation that does not favor the |
| 15627s | gladiators and they have to start |
| 15628s | winning these fights |
| 15630s | mines are deleted |
| 15632s | finally invests the pulse doesn't find a |
| 15634s | stick doesn't find a kill the |
| 15635s | transcendence this time is going to be |
| 15636s | used kepster managing to get on top of |
| 15638s | finn finds that kill proper though |
| 15640s | answering back alongside my king a two |
| 15642s | for one trade up here for the side of |
| 15643s | the shot because they maintain bot |
| 15644s | control in this fourth position they're |
| 15646s | looking for a little bit more and |
| 15647s | scoot's got nowhere to go gets taken |
| 15648s | down ryan are able to find violet with a |
| 15650s | punch the very end but it's then quickly |
| 15653s | dealt with on the back end the shock |
| 15654s | continue to gain distance or can kim's |
| 15657s | keeping alive right now they're trying |
| 15658s | to clean up kevster and they will well |
| 15659s | well they can't because too many members |
| 15661s | went down they actually started to see |
| 15662s | shock dropping members great job by |
| 15664s | kepster to hold on to the actual point |
| 15666s | preventing from pushing forward now will |
| 15668s | push on four but reiner goes in two |
| 15669s | contests 82 meters glads have to prevent |
| 15672s | this from hitting 90. |
| 15675s | patty again swapping over to the zombra |
| 15677s | desperate measures |
| 15679s | called out for here in desperate times |
| 15682s | the shock go ahead can see the bot very |
| 15684s | comfortable the amount of distance that |
| 15685s | they have as well is still holding on to |
| 15687s | those forward spawns need to hit the |
| 15688s | midway point for those to be taken away |
| 15692s | a little bit of harassment coming |
| 15694s | through hilo he's by himself now going |
| 15696s | to be hacked but it looks like the |
| 15698s | healing is going to be good enough the |
| 15699s | peel is there they managed to keep him |
| 15700s | alive in the pond it's not going to be |
| 15701s | moving forward here from the side of the |
| 15702s | glass now shoe taken down kilo really |
| 15705s | finding his footing on this ash where he |
| 15707s | could not have gibraltar comes up with |
| 15709s | another massive kill shoot taken down |
| 15711s | i can see that kilo's input on the ash |
| 15713s | is really really high when glads can't |
| 15714s | really do much about it he's done 30 of |
| 15716s | his team's damage so far a lot of final |
| 15718s | blows |
| 15720s | and the shock continually holding |
| 15721s | control on this payload shoe going down |
| 15723s | the last fight no nano |
| 15725s | fighter source is now available ryder |
| 15726s | has to get out with his media |
| 15730s | semi aggressive just drop forward over |
| 15732s | towards the members of the shock kept |
| 15733s | sir running that opening pick and now |
| 15735s | the support is gonna be taken down nice |
| 15736s | double kill here for the tracer of the |
| 15737s | glads scientific slam writer getting a |
| 15739s | little bit of green hp will lead to the |
| 15741s | kill on the kilo gladiators finally |
| 15744s | taking control back at the bottom now |
| 15746s | the amount of kills that they did find |
| 15747s | can open things up can deny these |
| 15749s | forward spawns and potentially gain some |
| 15751s | distance |
| 15752s | yeah once they get past the midpoint |
| 15753s | that's the ford spawns going away so |
| 15755s | prop is the only one that doesn't get |
| 15756s | forward spawn see |
| 15758s | on the back right now from all the way |
| 15760s | in shock hq |
| 15762s | the shot can still contest this so this |
| 15764s | is not going to be an easy situation to |
| 15766s | count we're waiting for the patapan emp |
| 15767s | to come on through needs to land on the |
| 15769s | double support lines kilo can also block |
| 15771s | this with a bob so a lot that the shot |
| 15773s | can use |
| 15774s | oh okay well shoot throws the sleep |
| 15776s | bales out of the high ground just |
| 15778s | leaving mikey there as finn uses the |
| 15779s | transcendence the bob's gonna be thrown |
| 15781s | down |
| 15782s | runs into the back goes right alongside |
| 15784s | the bus but gladiator still managing to |
| 15786s | trade up kilo and violet both getting |
| 15787s | taken down mikey hacked |
| 15790s | so they say okay let's just keep moving |
| 15791s | this bot forward as best as possible |
| 15793s | property's the only one keeping it |
| 15793s | contested here for the moment does |
| 15795s | manage to find an elimination taking |
| 15796s | down the zenyatta but it's pretty close |
| 15797s | our supports will also get taken down |
| 15800s | proper again just ducking and diving |
| 15802s | around trying to keep this bot locked |
| 15804s | into place but he does this damn this is |
| 15806s | not going to be good enough it will |
| 15807s | manage to make glass complete points and |
| 15808s | the forward spawns are there |
| 15810s | yeah they have to back out now look they |
| 15811s | don't have supports because shoe and |
| 15812s | skewed died in that fight look at how |
| 15813s | far away skewed is you're right shu has |
| 15814s | only just managed to get towards mid so |
| 15816s | proper he saves the shock there he |
| 15818s | single-handedly kills like i think three |
| 15820s | players including the supports so the |
| 15823s | trades matter for the shock there it's |
| 15825s | not enough for the gladiators when the |
| 15826s | fight they have to win the fight cleanly |
| 15828s | without dropping members otherwise you |
| 15830s | have to back out |
| 15832s | well they did get the checkpoint at the |
| 15833s | very least |
| 15842s | making some calls trying to go for this |
| 15843s | dive rider kind of getting bogged as he |
| 15845s | goes forward connects what a shutdown |
| 15849s | violet stays safe and patty he's just |
| 15850s | got to translocate the hell out of there |
| 15852s | shocked |
| 15853s | once more winning at the fight cleanly |
| 15855s | the dive does not come to fruition for |
| 15856s | the gladiators achilles if the emp does |
| 15860s | not win a clean fight for the gladiators |
| 15861s | where they have five alive |
| 15863s | shock should have this one in the bag a |
| 15865s | 30 meter advantage |
| 15867s | the cap was there for the gladiator so |
| 15869s | we're not going to enter the stall mode |
| 15870s | for the bottom a little bit later that's |
| 15871s | the one thing that's good for the |
| 15872s | gladiators they have alternates but they |
| 15874s | don't have kevster |
| 15876s | they need gifts for the dive yeah he's |
| 15878s | trying to set up a play perhaps with |
| 15880s | that pulse bomb to open the fight take |
| 15882s | down a support but he's unable to do so |
| 15885s | nothing currently without that |
| 15886s | transcendence there's the recall proper |
| 15888s | just denying patty the damage over time |
| 15890s | starting to bleed away gladiators have |
| 15892s | so much distance to cover |
| 15893s | spot right now hovering around the mid |
| 15895s | point |
| 15896s | no emp having to jump away |
| 15898s | to be used and riders gonna be taken |
| 15899s | down opening kill found skewed falling |
| 15901s | lower and lower shoot trying to dump |
| 15903s | some some healing into that zenyatta to |
| 15904s | keep him alive captain just made the |
| 15906s | final one takes out kilo but the trade |
| 15908s | back is swift and it is brutal proper |
| 15911s | finds two finn finds shoe the ot bleeds |
| 15913s | away and we are not done yet this is the |
| 15916s | first in several necessary steps if the |
| 15918s | shock want to be victorious here today |
| 15921s | but they get it down on their map pick |
| 15922s | here on new queen street they fight back |
| 15925s | they deliver unto us a series not going |
| 15928s | down without a fight |
| 15929s | amazing map choice from the san |
| 15931s | francisco shark i did not enjoy that we |
| 15933s | went to gibraltar but this one this one |
| 15935s | really does please be new queen street |
| 15937s | we get to see the mikey ball very |
| 15939s | relevant for this map kilo on the ash as |
| 15941s | well that's a nod to a pack those |
| 15942s | strikes came straight from the fusion |
| 15944s | mn3 looking out down there on tequila |
| 15947s | with a bit of a smile there i mean |
| 15948s | fantastic on your quest you could see |
| 15949s | that there was nothing to contest kilo |
| 15951s | no long range damage paddy goes from the |
| 15953s | hanzo to the sombra and the final emp i |
| 15956s | don't know if you saw it but it was |
| 15957s | completely invisible he dies the mines |
| 15959s | emp did absolutely nothing capsidized |
| 15961s | the final fight as well and the ally |
| 15963s | gladiators |
| 15964s | they're not going to get a clean four |
| 15966s | and zero they want this one we're gonna |
| 15967s | have to go further |
| 15969s | that we are firm handshakes between the |
| 15971s | orange theme teams shock and fusion on |
| 15974s | new queen street looking great or yeah i |
| 15977s | mean they've managed to get that win now |
| 15979s | though the thing that is going to be a |
| 15980s | little bit concerning is that they are |
| 15982s | out of map picks they need to continue |
| 15983s | to win back and forth over and over |
| 15986s | again get a reverse sweep on the |
| 15987s | gladiators map selections we'll see |
| 15989s | where they decide to take us for control |
| 15991s | when we return from the break but do not |
| 15992s | do not go anywhere guys chalk looking |
| 15995s | alive can they continue but can they |
| 15997s | carry this forward and make it a 3-2 |
| 15999s | scoreline after the next map we're going |
| 16000s | to find out in just a few minutes |
| 16008s | [Music] |
| 16067s | [Music] |
| 16092s | [Music] |
| 16099s | [Music] |
| 16117s | [Music] |
| 16138s | [Music] |
| 16152s | [Music] |
| 16161s | [Music] |
| 16164s | hmm |
| 16168s | [Music] |
| 16179s | so |
| 16183s | [Music] |
| 16195s | [Music] |
| 16216s | and we are back we have a series here |
| 16219s | not going to be the 4-0 sweep the |
| 16221s | gladiators were so very much looking for |
| 16223s | still are in pole position to get a |
| 16225s | victory here however the shock they take |
| 16228s | the first step in several to try and |
| 16230s | pull off a reverse sweep |
| 16233s | the young proper on your screen right |
| 16234s | here |
| 16235s | said in between the maps after losing |
| 16238s | gibraltar that if he wants that mvp |
| 16240s | he's got to step it up and on that last |
| 16243s | map for new queen street |
| 16245s | proper had 18 |
| 16247s | final blows out of a total of san |
| 16248s | francisco shocks 40. two away from dead |
| 16251s | lifting |
| 16253s | keff's are on 11 |
| 16255s | 7 down from proper and the san francisco |
| 16258s | shock once again |
| 16260s | a fantastic map choice new queen street |
| 16263s | brilliant read as well compositionally |
| 16265s | bald and ash so prevalent on that map |
| 16267s | and the gladiators unfortunately without |
| 16270s | arms in that lineup for this particular |
| 16272s | map patty's choices realistically uh |
| 16275s | most likely the sojourn that would have |
| 16276s | been pretty decent if you really want to |
| 16278s | try and shove it into hilo |
| 16280s | sombra |
| 16281s | so far has just been not very |
| 16286s | what's that what's a nice way of saying |
| 16287s | it just it's not been a very highly |
| 16289s | performing here let's say that the emp |
| 16292s | at the end absolutely no impact no dives |
| 16295s | as well you see so many situations where |
| 16296s | panapan wants to get a hack dive in on a |
| 16298s | backline target but reiner and campus |
| 16300s | are too far away can't help with that |
| 16301s | the sombra itself is typically not |
| 16304s | enough and even then when kepster goes |
| 16306s | on in that play from |
| 16308s | violet i believe instantly out playing |
| 16310s | kepster and elos on panapan where |
| 16312s | pederman can't see him because he fully |
| 16313s | eloises so he isolates a 1v1 from a 1v2 |
| 16317s | situation and then lives and paddy pine |
| 16320s | has to back out the doom as well |
| 16323s | is |
| 16324s | i hear that rhino obviously favors but |
| 16326s | has not been in my opinion as strong a |
| 16328s | new queen street as heroes like bull |
| 16332s | well we'll see what they have cooked up |
| 16334s | for us here as we get ready to go into |
| 16336s | another map of control obviously a |
| 16339s | couple substitutions with sam stepping |
| 16340s | back in still have a patty and funny |
| 16343s | astro will be rejoining so likely to see |
| 16346s | some of the more of those lucio antics |
| 16348s | that he has been just |
| 16349s | utterly dominated on let's just wait you |
| 16352s | know what the map is going to be |
| 16354s | and here you know again uh map drafting |
| 16356s | analysis analysis from my side says that |
| 16359s | oasis would have been the pick for shock |
| 16361s | if it was their map choice they love to |
| 16362s | go towards that map but when you look |
| 16364s | towards the glass the one thing that |
| 16366s | sticks out is you need loose your map so |
| 16368s | ilios and lee jung tower are the correct |
| 16370s | choices from them elias was already |
| 16371s | picked as map number one fighting ashrae |
| 16373s | gets to come on in again when asher came |
| 16376s | in |
| 16377s | on pretty much all the previous series |
| 16379s | he wins for the la glady units so this |
| 16382s | could be the potential for a four versus |
| 16385s | one finish |
| 16387s | with the map choice going towards the |
| 16388s | gladiators and it will go towards the |
| 16389s | gladiators for the remainder of the |
| 16390s | series being that they are 3-0 up or now |
| 16392s | 3-1 up shock will not have a map choice |
| 16395s | for the rest of the series and any lucio |
| 16398s | map is going to be incredibly good for |
| 16400s | the glads |
| 16402s | yup |
| 16402s | well only a 25 when right on their map |
| 16405s | picks here in the series for the shock |
| 16408s | not great the stage very much set |
| 16410s | against them odds stacked against them |
| 16412s | as well love to see it's going to be |
| 16414s | liang tower as you were alluding to here |
| 16416s | for our next control maps the gladiators |
| 16418s | still look to close this out |
| 16420s | for 4-1 still an incredibly respectable |
| 16423s | score line in the grand final if they |
| 16424s | can make it happen shock however are |
| 16426s | looking to do the nigh impossible and |
| 16428s | continuing a reverse sweep take another |
| 16430s | step towards that trophy the proper the |
| 16433s | rest of the squad heating up on that |
| 16434s | last map seems like they should have |
| 16436s | some wind in their sails but now we turn |
| 16438s | our sights over to the substitution on |
| 16440s | the side of shock sam who had did not |
| 16442s | have the greatest run on the maps that |
| 16443s | we saw him initially needs to level up |
| 16446s | alongside the rest of this roster if |
| 16447s | they want to continue this reverse |
| 16448s | street shop run and and on specifically |
| 16451s | either sojourn or the echo here that's |
| 16453s | been i think two of his primary picks so |
| 16455s | far in this tournament |
| 16456s | um |
| 16457s | the reason why shock would have |
| 16459s | preferred to go to oasis had it been |
| 16460s | their map pick as you deny funny ashford |
| 16462s | from rejoining the roster for a |
| 16463s | controlled map so lee jung tower great |
| 16465s | for lucio oasis not so much when we look |
| 16468s | towards future maps you did see that |
| 16469s | escort was going to come up next the |
| 16471s | important thing about knowing what is up |
| 16473s | next is that because it's glads pick |
| 16475s | they are not going to take us to circuit |
| 16476s | so shock have lost the ability to pick |
| 16478s | circuit now for the remainder of the |
| 16479s | series let's focus on this game though |
| 16481s | this is one that shocked me to take step |
| 16482s | by step they still have to win this |
| 16484s | before we can talk about escort in more |
| 16486s | detail it's going to be the rhino |
| 16487s | doomfist again lucio for funny asher as |
| 16489s | expected sam coming through on the echo |
| 16492s | again that has been his signature |
| 16495s | during the lobby there was a couple |
| 16496s | questions with funny after rejoining and |
| 16498s | he said no you know more fit lucio finn |
| 16500s | said yes obviously just tell one a |
| 16501s | little bit about a lie |
| 16505s | they're gonna be committed again for |
| 16506s | that it's gonna be sticking with the |
| 16507s | zenyatta that was looking quite good for |
| 16509s | him on that last map pat pat already |
| 16511s | going to take it down proper fighting |
| 16512s | first blood once more good opening kill |
| 16514s | a spin will be able to strike down |
| 16516s | reiner the gladiator is going to be |
| 16517s | heading for the hills but the shock are |
| 16519s | deep in pursuit |
| 16521s | clean pickups here on these kills go |
| 16524s | ahead get some staggers and shock once |
| 16525s | more will yeah able to take the control |
| 16527s | point first |
| 16528s | 4-0 there in terms of uh kills to death |
| 16531s | so shock didn't lose anybody four frags |
| 16532s | padded bank comes back for the summer |
| 16534s | this is now going to be a time when you |
| 16536s | have to ask is this going to be working |
| 16538s | for the gladiators the is it third time |
| 16541s | running now |
| 16542s | to be fair i think they did get this on |
| 16544s | illios i can't remember actually ran it |
| 16545s | initially but the heck of the proper |
| 16547s | no connection from the rest of the |
| 16549s | dive shot's not really even coming |
| 16551s | across from paddy pence so he doesn't |
| 16552s | even get too much as far as the emp |
| 16554s | charge is concerned mike's gonna be |
| 16555s | taking a nap here on the point rider |
| 16557s | gets on top of violet but finn answers |
| 16559s | back finds kenster now |
| 16561s | eliminated that's the supports go on the |
| 16562s | pile driver from mikey waking up and |
| 16565s | turning things into a nightmare |
| 16567s | rider needs to try to survive this he's |
| 16568s | just so very low rotates out he'll pack |
| 16571s | not there they pile in they get the kill |
| 16574s | shock should be able to hold the point |
| 16575s | from here paddy pant just contesting it |
| 16577s | for a moment but has to translocate out |
| 16580s | here we go glad is now coming with the |
| 16582s | rest of the team still waiting for |
| 16583s | ultimates come on in nano is about to be |
| 16584s | up hack up to mikey |
| 16586s | a pulse finds one kept they're getting |
| 16588s | an opening kill mikey going to be anted |
| 16590s | out still acts trying to stay alive and |
| 16592s | eventually does get hounded down so |
| 16593s | finally the gladiators will be able to |
| 16595s | get this flip proper only able to find |
| 16597s | funny answer here on the back end looks |
| 16598s | to make his exit out pops the recall now |
| 16600s | puts himself in a bit of a bad position |
| 16602s | and that's going to be a stagger so |
| 16603s | gladiators will be able to go ahead and |
| 16605s | hold this now at 10. oh my god shock 62. |
| 16608s | what real 12 in the grand finals by the |
| 16610s | way actual tall from sam in the grand |
| 16611s | finals this is either 900 iq or 9 iq |
| 16615s | we're about to find out which one it is |
| 16617s | to be fair the turret is pretty annoying |
| 16619s | for camp sir had about to deal with |
| 16620s | pretty annoying for ryan to deal with as |
| 16622s | well |
| 16623s | i'll dive into the back and uh yeah file |
| 16625s | it he's gonna say that's pretty annoying |
| 16626s | as well don't get taken down the meteor |
| 16628s | strike for the exit as it did fall low |
| 16631s | field sail live been able to clean up |
| 16633s | one kill but why the fight goes the way |
| 16635s | of the gladiators sam's still sticking |
| 16637s | through with this let's see if he's |
| 16639s | gonna have to make another swap though |
| 16642s | a 30 alt charge there |
| 16644s | so just peppering away at the l |
| 16646s | gladiators that you call the nine |
| 16647s | millimeter here for a reason |
| 16650s | how to pan has the emp looking for a |
| 16652s | much bigger emp connection that we've |
| 16653s | got last time in terms of impact not |
| 16655s | just the broad number menu |
| 16657s | jumped on emp coming through gets a heck |
| 16660s | out of just a couple of members out on |
| 16661s | the 70 manages to find a funny asteroid |
| 16663s | there's gonna be supports now taken down |
| 16665s | the cleanup comes in on the rhino so far |
| 16667s | the only casualty on the side of the |
| 16668s | shock is going to be the turret just not |
| 16670s | anywhere near good enough gladiators |
| 16671s | they have taken the lead but they have |
| 16672s | to concede the point the shock will go |
| 16674s | ahead and gain control from nine |
| 16676s | millimeter to the hand cannon there for |
| 16678s | sam san francisco shock will take |
| 16679s | control like you said once more 70 and |
| 16682s | counting up |
| 16684s | and we might actually see this vaulting |
| 16686s | core as well in the final fight it |
| 16687s | should be coming online sound barrier |
| 16689s | available for gladiators try and at |
| 16690s | least mitigate some of their damage |
| 16692s | proper would love to get a connection to |
| 16693s | one of these two supports |
| 16695s | he's the only one |
| 16697s | so holding on to it yeah the beat does |
| 16698s | come through finn down so very low |
| 16700s | capture gets the top of him now violet |
| 16701s | gone |
| 16702s | the cleanup coming through shoot picked |
| 16704s | off at the back end of this fight but |
| 16705s | with proper and mikey the only two left |
| 16707s | standing seems like it's just a matter |
| 16709s | of time before the glad should be able |
| 16710s | to regain control here the shots do have |
| 16712s | enough time for one last reset one last |
| 16714s | fight as they get close to 99 |
| 16716s | won't quite make it there but they can |
| 16718s | get a flip they should be able to take |
| 16720s | the round gladiators looking to hold |
| 16721s | yeah making hay while the sun shines |
| 16723s | there for the gladiators they might have |
| 16724s | used an early beat but they will |
| 16725s | absolutely they have to make take |
| 16727s | advantage of it to run straight at shock |
| 16729s | shock with no response there just the |
| 16731s | pulse bomb killed the shoe which is |
| 16732s | admirable |
| 16734s | but uh gladiators importantly get point |
| 16737s | control which could be going towards |
| 16738s | double 99 or in this case 99 to 98 |
| 16741s | still waiting for this molten core see |
| 16743s | if it will have any impact |
| 16746s | now has it ready to go he's going to pop |
| 16748s | it immediately |
| 16749s | still going to try to sell them out |
| 16750s | trying to stay alive and we're talking |
| 16751s | about come through he's going to drop |
| 16752s | down aggressively cleaning it up the |
| 16754s | rider gets the follow-up kill taking |
| 16755s | down the entire kit of sam funny astrid |
| 16758s | traded however proper finding that |
| 16759s | elimination shoe now gonna be taken down |
| 16761s | proper doing incredible work here for |
| 16764s | the side of the shock the supports out |
| 16765s | of the fight to flip getting ready to |
| 16766s | come through the shock |
| 16767s | might have just done it sam playing bait |
| 16770s | and there you have it no contest to be |
| 16772s | found the shock will be able to pull the |
| 16774s | rug out from beneath the gladiators |
| 16776s | taking night market for themselves |
| 16778s | and when it looks difficult for the |
| 16780s | shock it looks like glads had to fight |
| 16781s | when they were going to get the one |
| 16783s | round lead on lee jung tower as well |
| 16784s | it's proper on the back like double |
| 16787s | support kills shoe and funny asher |
| 16789s | dropping down proper doing so much on |
| 16791s | the tracer for the san francisco shock |
| 16792s | again their star player when they need |
| 16795s | him he gets it done look at this let's |
| 16797s | take a look at it |
| 16799s | pressuring out and oh i mean funny ass |
| 16801s | right here he had his sights turned to |
| 16803s | the paddy but he just turns him |
| 16804s | immediately to the supports as he spots |
| 16806s | them jumping forward clean clean up |
| 16810s | coming through here for this out of the |
| 16811s | shot not to be too redundant but now the |
| 16813s | gates will open as we turn our sights |
| 16815s | over to gardens |
| 16820s | back over towards the song as a soldier |
| 16822s | nearly said sombra gotta take those |
| 16824s | dirty words out of my mouth right now |
| 16826s | let's gladly get his story though i |
| 16827s | think really looking for the maximum |
| 16828s | value on that sombra but unable to find |
| 16830s | it on the previous round |
| 16833s | which was a genji now |
| 16835s | ellucia wants more for the shock for the |
| 16837s | tuck is going to be violent piloting it |
| 16838s | reiner the first blood is mikey cleans |
| 16840s | up the kill sam finding one |
| 16842s | proper going to be joining him as well |
| 16844s | paddy will be able to get pin on the |
| 16845s | back of the fight for the point it's |
| 16846s | unlocked and once more shaku i think |
| 16848s | i've gotten the lock down the point |
| 16850s | every single time we'll be able to claim |
| 16852s | it first and foremost |
| 16854s | this prop is on 62 there as well so |
| 16856s | we're getting some ultimates online very |
| 16858s | soon for the san francisco shock kips is |
| 16859s | not that far behind to be fit |
| 16861s | gibson really trying his hardest to |
| 16864s | get those initiation kills mikey has |
| 16867s | been naded |
| 16869s | does expire though he manages to stay |
| 16870s | alive hp bars a bit erect here on the |
| 16873s | side of the shock and paddy little chip |
| 16875s | away at prop for the rail good enough to |
| 16876s | kill when he asks you're going to be |
| 16878s | taken down however mikey finding that |
| 16879s | elimination |
| 16880s | gonna give violet now the lead towards |
| 16882s | the side of barriers paddy's just doing |
| 16883s | the damage trying to find something they |
| 16885s | get to sleep out they have the nade down |
| 16887s | like he gets dropped good clean up kill |
| 16889s | coming through now in control only 29 |
| 16891s | established this time for the side of |
| 16892s | the shock is the gladiators go ahead and |
| 16894s | take it away |
| 16895s | and rhino stays alive for an |
| 16897s | unbelievable amount of time there is all |
| 16898s | finally going down towards the end but |
| 16900s | shark aren't going to be able to get a |
| 16902s | point flip or keep control the point |
| 16903s | rather with just a single kill on the |
| 16905s | rhino they lose mike even importantly |
| 16907s | shoot great sleep dot like you said |
| 16909s | now the ally gladiators starting from |
| 16911s | panapan who gets an initial kill to prop |
| 16913s | i believe it was a railgun connection |
| 16914s | plus a left click it's going to be |
| 16916s | enough to enable the 5v4 |
| 16920s | rider diving forward pulse bomb going to |
| 16922s | be locked in proper not going to be |
| 16923s | finding anything for that |
| 16925s | capture still holding on to one of his |
| 16927s | waiting for own |
| 16928s | prime target nano banana salvia are |
| 16930s | gonna be dropped in violet shielding up |
| 16932s | the team and paddy pants could be the |
| 16933s | first one to fall finn however gonna be |
| 16934s | punched off into the koi pond |
| 16937s | instead of dying now the primal |
| 16939s | does get popped mine are able to exit |
| 16940s | however turns his sights right back over |
| 16942s | the point where the gladiators are still |
| 16943s | in control shu however picked off funny |
| 16946s | astrum still alive still does hold on to |
| 16948s | the sound barry should they think that |
| 16949s | they could win the fight but it looks |
| 16949s | like they are more than happy to see |
| 16951s | this and funny astro will in fact die on |
| 16953s | the back end for a little bit of stagger |
| 16955s | three versus two committed their shock |
| 16957s | with the three ultimate glads on two so |
| 16958s | they still hold on to three very |
| 16959s | important ones sam has played available |
| 16961s | but funny astral can counter plenty for |
| 16963s | the glads to work through in terms of |
| 16966s | resources far less for the shock and |
| 16968s | they need to enable this sam dive as |
| 16970s | much as possible |
| 16972s | an early beat for funny usher again |
| 16975s | locked in not gonna find that kill fit |
| 16976s | does take down kevster who has back |
| 16978s | turned to him |
| 16979s | a one for one of dps for a support |
| 16982s | violet now gone putting that much more |
| 16984s | who's going to be trying to keep sam |
| 16985s | alive blade gets pulled finds paddy to |
| 16987s | start looks for shoe wraps around the |
| 16989s | corner gets the kill gets the dash reset |
| 16991s | they'll just put a little bit damage |
| 16992s | down on it the reiner in fact will find |
| 16994s | that kill in the end |
| 16996s | shock |
| 16997s | able to hold this the flip was damn near |
| 16999s | that to the side of the gladiators but |
| 17000s | it gets denied to the end |
| 17001s | and this time the early soundbar from |
| 17003s | funny astro tempo play doesn't work out |
| 17005s | they didn't have that for the blade |
| 17007s | afterwards shock just disengaged better |
| 17009s | yet shock i don't believe really even |
| 17010s | lost control the point there so they |
| 17012s | just have to wait the sound barrier out |
| 17014s | pull the blade through they know there's |
| 17015s | nothing to counter the blade and sam |
| 17016s | will get it done |
| 17018s | 86 percent this is gonna be live |
| 17019s | territory for the shock poor hp |
| 17021s | pops the recall stays alive 91 here for |
| 17024s | the side of the shock anthony goes out |
| 17025s | the wrinkles and violet and dire |
| 17027s | straights they need to get healed up |
| 17029s | proper managing the feeling for a little |
| 17030s | bit longer oh it's over grab something a |
| 17032s | pack mikey however gonna be eliminated |
| 17033s | out of the bag robert dashes forward |
| 17035s | advantage of the fight caps the flip is |
| 17036s | there for the side of the gladiators in |
| 17037s | the meantime |
| 17039s | falling low the heels start coming |
| 17040s | through funny astro keeping him alive |
| 17042s | proper still holding on to this pulse |
| 17044s | pump has not let it loose yet but now |
| 17045s | they find a rider they get the stick |
| 17046s | with the meteor strike is there he makes |
| 17047s | his exit pet again gets proper with the |
| 17049s | rail gets the elimination banana now |
| 17052s | expiring he looks for finn he's gonna |
| 17053s | find the kill sam off screen takes down |
| 17056s | shoe yes they are back and forth you're |
| 17059s | in this fight but the shock they need to |
| 17060s | make a decision do they reset it do they |
| 17061s | continue to fight it out they think the |
| 17063s | play call is going to be made to go |
| 17064s | forward the beat comes in finn gonna be |
| 17066s | swapping over on to the moira and sam |
| 17068s | cleans up two kills he's looking for the |
| 17070s | flip back through once more and they're |
| 17071s | gonna have it the touch is there reiner |
| 17073s | this time able to contest it but he's so |
| 17075s | very low on hp and ends up dying on the |
| 17077s | return finds the kill the blade now |
| 17079s | coming through jumps forward gets on top |
| 17081s | of shoe slices and dices him down it |
| 17084s | looks for a little bit more we'll be |
| 17085s | able to clean up astro the ot starts to |
| 17087s | bleed away kepster gets the touch he |
| 17089s | forces it back up to a full bar but the |
| 17091s | cleanup comes in as proper once more |
| 17093s | fills the kill feed and it is a 2-0 on |
| 17096s | li zhong tower to get a second map win |
| 17099s | the san francisco shock are looking to |
| 17101s | pull off the reverse sweep they take |
| 17102s | another step in the right direction |
| 17105s | don't get comfortable right now the |
| 17107s | second act is when the sharks start to |
| 17109s | get really good they're firing up proper |
| 17111s | with the insane outplay versus keps the |
| 17114s | steals the mega pack away on eight hp he |
| 17117s | was anti-native as well still gets those |
| 17119s | frags doesn't quite kill reiner but |
| 17122s | rhino can't effectively rejoin the fight |
| 17124s | anyway the shock have the booster onto |
| 17126s | violet on purpose just to keep him alive |
| 17128s | allows him to find the sound barrier |
| 17130s | only connects on two but it's enough |
| 17132s | it's exactly the two unique as sam |
| 17134s | receives the beat as well finds that |
| 17135s | dragonblade there's nothing the glass |
| 17137s | can do about it you said you wanted to |
| 17139s | see sam come in big and he does just |
| 17141s | that |
| 17143s | i mean it was just one of those jukes |
| 17144s | from proper where kevin just trips over |
| 17146s | his own fate he falls down flat on the |
| 17148s | ground face down what a play from him |
| 17151s | the rest of the team sam looking |
| 17152s | incredible coming out with that genji |
| 17154s | finding the impact that they so |
| 17156s | desperately needed from him in those |
| 17157s | initial early maps now the whole team |
| 17160s | looking fired up looking unstoppable |
| 17162s | we'll see though the gladiators still do |
| 17164s | hold on to match point it is not tied up |
| 17165s | yet but three two the scoreline shock |
| 17168s | can they continue to run it back i do |
| 17170s | not know but we are going to find out do |
| 17172s | not go anywhere this series continues to |
| 17174s | deliver time and time again you do not |

| 17397s | shock continue to try to claw things |
| 17400s | back hunting for that trophy right there |
| 17403s | the mid-season madness three to two to |
| 17404s | the scoreline the gladiators still |
| 17406s | having match points still just need to |
| 17408s | close out one more map to be victorious |
| 17411s | and be back-to-back champions in the |
| 17412s | kickoff clash now here in mid-season the |
| 17415s | shock are looking to deny |
| 17418s | francisco shock they might have to climb |
| 17420s | this one uphill going upstream here for |
| 17422s | the rest of the series if it has to be a |
| 17424s | reverse sweep they have to do it against |
| 17426s | the wind as the la gladiators have every |
| 17428s | single map pick for the remainder of the |
| 17430s | series |
| 17432s | ends up being though but the shock do |
| 17434s | indeed win one of those map picks lee |
| 17435s | jung tower very important to the ali |
| 17437s | gladiators he had lucio there for funny |
| 17439s | astro |
| 17441s | could have been the ending four to one |
| 17443s | but despite |
| 17445s | everything the shark will pull on |
| 17447s | through in fact it is violet's lucio in |
| 17449s | the final moments that will allow the |
| 17451s | shark to be able to get that map when |
| 17454s | and it is |
| 17456s | now the substitutions coming back |
| 17458s | through we saw kilo starting to heat up |
| 17459s | there on new queen street having an |
| 17460s | immense amount of impact with the ash |
| 17462s | needs to do that once more got the |
| 17464s | opening kill on on some gibraltar but |
| 17466s | after that didn't find nearly as much |
| 17469s | impact so ons should be heated up he |
| 17471s | should be ready to come back into this |
| 17473s | it's all about kilo stepping up to the |
| 17474s | plate and looking to shut him down |
| 17477s | now let's talk about maps as well in |
| 17478s | terms of again map drafting analysis |
| 17481s | here we actually do not have a push for |
| 17483s | the map seven you can see the icon down |
| 17485s | below |
| 17486s | uh next is gonna be escort we're going |
| 17487s | to finish this one onto hybrid so there |
| 17489s | is not going to be the key color seo |
| 17491s | pick for the la gladiators on map |
| 17494s | should we get there |
| 17495s | now |
| 17496s | dorado dorado is going to be our next |
| 17499s | map important to note because it is not |
| 17501s | circuit royale uh gladius there's no way |
| 17504s | they take us to circuit |
| 17506s | that should have been shocks map pick a |
| 17507s | little bit early on we went to gibraltar |
| 17509s | shock would punish for it and now |
| 17511s | again |
| 17512s | shock have to win on more gladys matt |
| 17514s | picks hilo has to redeem himself here as |
| 17516s | well because ons has come back in we |
| 17519s | talked about how important ons was going |
| 17520s | to have to be in the series he won |
| 17522s | gibraltar or at least he was a major |
| 17524s | impact in terms of winning gibraltar for |
| 17526s | his team it's gonna be another sniper |
| 17528s | battle it's gonna be in more escort |
| 17529s | sniper action |
| 17530s | and kilo cannot fall prey to ons again |
| 17533s | if ons pulls his weight and does the |
| 17535s | deed this is going to be a glass |
| 17537s | championship |
| 17540s | see if it comes to fruition here and now |
| 17543s | the shock can in fact take us |
| 17545s | to that seventh final map of hybrid |
| 17550s | maybe it's just that both these teams |
| 17551s | are so well prepared to counter strat |
| 17553s | their opponents on their map picks |
| 17556s | that this is just what happens that you |
| 17558s | can't win on your own selection but you |
| 17560s | can win on your opponents we'll have to |
| 17562s | just wait and see usually the other way |
| 17563s | around use |
| 17564s | yes |
| 17566s | typically that we've seen so far in the |
| 17567s | series you know it's been back and forth |
| 17569s | we haven't had well we've had a |
| 17570s | reasonable number of sweeps we had a lot |
| 17571s | of my fives and the reason we have a lot |
| 17573s | of map fives is because map selection |
| 17576s | does matter there is a strategy behind |
| 17577s | it |
| 17578s | and as we teed this matchup up kilo |
| 17580s | versus arms proper and kev sir back over |
| 17583s | towards the genji now proper has been |
| 17585s | much better on the trace of the genji |
| 17586s | today proper also needs to be able to |
| 17588s | step it off against you to continue the |
| 17590s | series for the shock |
| 17592s | spotting on there for just a moment the |
| 17594s | timing slightly off for him to be able |
| 17595s | to find that kill and hans gets tagged |
| 17597s | down low i believe from violet |
| 17599s | aquila will find an opening kill |
| 17602s | ons get to dig across onto a single |
| 17605s | player but not going to be enough for an |
| 17606s | elimination with the ona gone that opens |
| 17609s | up a hell of a space but tim can be said |
| 17611s | ons does go ahead |
| 17613s | get involved as well also claiming the |
| 17614s | life of an enemy support |
| 17616s | you look at the payload positioning |
| 17618s | right shock want to actually get this |
| 17619s | one through the archway that's the |
| 17620s | important thing now they'll wait for the |
| 17621s | respawns |
| 17622s | it's back to 5v5 very important for |
| 17624s | answer trade that pick eventually |
| 17626s | because you can't have gladiators on |
| 17628s | that 4v5 giving up free space and plenty |
| 17631s | of free space has already been given so |
| 17635s | opportunities now look at kilo's all |
| 17636s | charged as well sniper jaw will go awry |
| 17638s | for both of them so far |
| 17641s | neither really nailing any connections |
| 17643s | on to the other let's turn their sights |
| 17645s | towards the |
| 17646s | notting widowmaker players on either |
| 17648s | team capstick it's on top of violet whoa |
| 17650s | whoa defined proper as well massive |
| 17652s | place here from kepsters three |
| 17654s | desperately looking for a target he's |
| 17655s | not going to be able to find it in |
| 17656s | cancer does come up with three as you |
| 17658s | say taking down kilo on the back end |
| 17660s | with a little bit of damage down onto |
| 17661s | mikey but that's gonna be the cart |
| 17662s | halted for now |
| 17663s | really important there let's take a look |
| 17665s | at kevster again starts has found out |
| 17667s | starts us off on the back line |
| 17669s | low explain to violet |
| 17671s | sees the low hp proper result does not |
| 17673s | allow him to reset then obviously we did |
| 17674s | catch on the camera the third and final |
| 17676s | kill that one was just for fun as well |
| 17678s | shock were already on their way to |
| 17680s | resetting from there |
| 17681s | importantly for the next fight kilo is |
| 17683s | going to have an earlier infrasight |
| 17684s | gladiators very difficult to respond to |
| 17686s | that when arns does not have the |
| 17688s | ultimate finn will also have the first |
| 17689s | nano so they can push with narrow and |
| 17691s | imprecise at the same time and glads are |
| 17693s | going to be in trouble the riders very |
| 17694s | low hp as well |
| 17697s | kilo on the hunt |
| 17699s | here's the shots coming through gets one |
| 17701s | taken down mikey gets on top of him |
| 17704s | finds that elimination and there's the |
| 17705s | infrasight pop now the enemy widow out |
| 17707s | of the fight |
| 17708s | there's |
| 17709s | the shock trying to keep things moving |
| 17710s | forward the nano comes out proper has to |
| 17713s | make his exit |
| 17714s | sitting here on the ceiling but oh man |
| 17716s | what a set plate jumps up over the top |
| 17718s | gets the zap |
| 17719s | shoe nails him with the ante |
| 17722s | nice little combo coming through now the |
| 17723s | primal gonna be popped |
| 17725s | kill up into the sky and odds escape |
| 17727s | shoot he takes him down |
| 17731s | beautifully done |
| 17733s | for any additional that they can |
| 17734s | possibly get i think violent blow they |
| 17736s | should be able to confirm this kill in |
| 17737s | the end things back to grab the mini |
| 17739s | pack and maybe it's not going to be good |
| 17740s | enough yeah oh hang on the trunk what's |
| 17742s | going on here uh skewed has juggled well |
| 17744s | away from the rest of the excuse out of |
| 17746s | position |
| 17748s | trying to save him but they cannot do |
| 17749s | himself he gets taken down kept it up |
| 17750s | pulling the blade trying to turn this |
| 17752s | fight around spare them some blushes but |
| 17754s | it's two members dead for just kilo off |
| 17756s | the back of the dragon blade |
| 17757s | why was huge so aggressive you have to |
| 17759s | play the back throw allow ryder to go in |
| 17761s | with the primal he can save himself he's |
| 17762s | a winston with a thousand hp no reason |
| 17765s | for skew to be that far up yes he got |
| 17767s | pushed in by mikey's primal but for |
| 17769s | mikey's problem to even put him there |
| 17770s | skewed already has to be very far |
| 17773s | gladiators they had an advantage and now |
| 17774s | they've lost everything they're |
| 17776s | struggling to find space answers to get |
| 17777s | a kill |
| 17779s | he's looking for it puts a little bit of |
| 17780s | damage down on the mikey he's discorded |
| 17782s | up so he can't really start to rip away |
| 17784s | that hp bar but |
| 17786s | so far he's been finding too many sight |
| 17788s | lines proper sliding along the rooftops |
| 17791s | there's a couple shurikens into the back |
| 17792s | here of shoes the plate now gonna be |
| 17794s | pulled bishop this is on the dash for |
| 17795s | the second swipe little man to find the |
| 17797s | kill and the kepster ticking down as |
| 17798s | well as kilo got a nice head shot the |
| 17800s | card advancing forward that should be |
| 17801s | the cap coming in for the side of the |
| 17802s | shock but the time bank did get drained |
| 17803s | down considerably the 244 for the second |
| 17806s | stretch here |
| 17808s | stagger kill the rhino there is all been |
| 17810s | i i have to again question mark what |
| 17812s | gladiators were doing off the back of |
| 17813s | rhino's dive reiner himself had made the |
| 17815s | fine play you have to respond to nano |
| 17817s | when you're a player down right cool |
| 17818s | shock have a 5v4 clouds of ultimates you |
| 17820s | are training a kill for an ultimate |
| 17822s | that's an exchange that works for the |
| 17824s | gladiators they technically win the |
| 17825s | fight but once you lose the trance once |
| 17827s | you lose skewed san francisco shark are |
| 17829s | snowballing off that one play all the |
| 17832s | way to a cap and now they have ultimates |
| 17834s | they played the blade |
| 17835s | semi successful doesn't matter they had |
| 17837s | enough kills anyway we're on towards b |
| 17840s | and here comes caleb with the infrasight |
| 17841s | it's not going to be answered |
| 17843s | no it's not widely ignoring the winston |
| 17846s | but now they look for the setup there's |
| 17847s | the headshot the nano immediately in |
| 17848s | response from shoot making sure they can |
| 17850s | keep them alive and now he dives forward |
| 17852s | does have that primal rage ready to go |
| 17854s | he's gonna let it loose he's looking for |
| 17855s | a kill on a fin but kilo he's turned his |
| 17857s | sights over it's gonna be a trade out on |
| 17858s | the honors but now so pointless are the |
| 17859s | gladiators with skewed falling rhino |
| 17861s | just juggling violet back over towards |
| 17863s | the spawn room he doesn't make his way |
| 17865s | in there i'm staggering himself phil has |
| 17866s | managed to make himself make his way out |
| 17868s | to safety the cleanup comes through |
| 17870s | violet taking a couple squats as they |
| 17871s | start moving forward with the cart |
| 17873s | they get those brick legs working |
| 17875s | gladiators they primal response and nano |
| 17877s | great save onto rhino you'll have to |
| 17878s | remember that's a force nano there as |
| 17880s | well because otherwise rhino might have |
| 17881s | been dead from the sleep dot in either |
| 17884s | case uh the rest of the gladiators went |
| 17886s | down ryder despite being alive due to |
| 17887s | the primal that just becomes a self |
| 17890s | stagger and shock now getting maximum |
| 17892s | distance on this payload push primal |
| 17894s | from |
| 17898s | his face though juggling back that oh |
| 17899s | boy well this could be bad |
| 17902s | uh yup |
| 17904s | all right flew a little too close to the |
| 17905s | side but he's offered up an immense |
| 17907s | amount of space so to get the cart right |
| 17908s | in front of point b but still just have |
| 17909s | a minute remaining to try to get over |
| 17911s | the line |
| 17913s | like you're now going over towards the |
| 17914s | ball so |
| 17916s | the next defense will be a ball play |
| 17918s | instead we're looking towards high |
| 17919s | ground control from either squad here |
| 17921s | glad it's obviously defending going to |
| 17922s | have access to that first |
| 17925s | offering kilo there |
| 17927s | there's a really good angle for kilo to |
| 17928s | work through though you have to be |
| 17929s | careful you're skewed you can see that |
| 17930s | skewed is just across from kilo oh yeah |
| 17933s | i was saying skewed might have been in |
| 17934s | trouble but it's kept instead that's the |
| 17936s | blade out of the fight i think he puts |
| 17937s | you to go button right now and get this |
| 17938s | card moving forward they have a big win |
| 17940s | of opportunity try to capitalize they |
| 17942s | start making it move up and kilo gets |
| 17944s | skewed proper gets on top of bonds as |
| 17946s | well he shuts down the infrasight now |
| 17948s | they lose all their info pile driver |
| 17950s | into the corner shoe is completely |
| 17952s | locked in and there you go |
| 17954s | they manage to start up the fight |
| 17956s | beautifully they don't have to use any |
| 17957s | ultimates for it either shock now |
| 17959s | another minute and a half added |
| 17961s | as they go for the final stretch of |
| 17962s | dorado it's just a great amount of |
| 17965s | snowballing coming on through right kilo |
| 17966s | with the further picks and you know we |
| 17968s | said that arms had kilo's number on |
| 17970s | gibraltar this time kilo has definitely |
| 17971s | been the top fragrance six final blows |
| 17973s | to ons two |
| 17975s | so ons has yet to kind of light kilo up |
| 17977s | and he needs to |
| 17978s | the san francisco shock i'm making some |
| 17981s | decent progress through the map here |
| 17982s | comes that infrasight now |
| 17984s | yeah i mean such a massive advantage |
| 17985s | here |
| 17987s | kilo |
| 17988s | just waiting kepster spotting out flash |
| 17990s | back out through the the glass there now |
| 17991s | the blade gonna be pulled he goes diving |
| 17993s | into the back line it's matched by ryder |
| 17995s | so they managed to goombas down finn to |
| 17996s | death |
| 17997s | there's violet nowhere to go ends up |
| 17999s | falling mikey slept for the moment he's |
| 18001s | gonna need to reset or exit he will go |
| 18004s | for a pile driver and just give his life |
| 18006s | this is 50 seconds left san francisco |
| 18008s | shock four ultimates ready to go for the |
| 18009s | final push but the kill that staggers |
| 18011s | actually |
| 18012s | that stag is actually kind of huge from |
| 18013s | rhino so that's gonna be extra time |
| 18014s | bought so san francisco could definitely |
| 18016s | down to a single flight with not a lot |
| 18018s | of setup to go through still ends up |
| 18020s | being a worthwhile trade gladiator you |
| 18022s | see a situation where the infrasight is |
| 18023s | traded for two ultimates shock can still |
| 18026s | play through with four minutes and cap |
| 18027s | this so in terms of economics it's okay |
| 18030s | aboard minefield just looking to gain |
| 18031s | some space as they try to enter |
| 18033s | kilos swapping over the sojourn now the |
| 18035s | rally coming out from violet |
| 18037s | the group up around shots flying that |
| 18039s | effect now gonna be burned there is the |
| 18040s | nano boost that played getting pulled |
| 18042s | auntie out onto it but he still managed |
| 18043s | to find the kill on dawn sets up for |
| 18045s | mikey to get the double kill onto the |
| 18047s | supports rider a rude awakening because |
| 18049s | he is struggling |
| 18050s | team kill they might have an opportunity |
| 18052s | to maybe touch back in but it's on's the |
| 18054s | first one to respawn as the widowmaker |
| 18057s | not gonna be good enough kepster now |
| 18058s | swapping over onto the tracer needs to |
| 18059s | get there in new time dashes forward |
| 18061s | just shy of two meters left the |
| 18063s | transcendence skewed escorting the rest |
| 18065s | of the team forward piledrivers |
| 18067s | connect but now runners take it down as |
| 18069s | he swaps over onto the soldier the sleep |
| 18071s | is there he gets woke it up the final |
| 18072s | does get popped violet juggled around a |
| 18074s | bit they're in the back lines that this |
| 18075s | quarter of still focus fired onto the |
| 18076s | break but he's not taking any damage |
| 18078s | skewed taken down shoe once more |
| 18080s | eliminated as the primal expires |
| 18082s | reiner's life will as well the cleanup |
| 18084s | coming in the finish comes through the |
| 18086s | shock they get to the end of the map |
| 18088s | expertly calculated by the shock that |
| 18090s | they have again we have to rewind one of |
| 18092s | these fights here it's an infrasight |
| 18094s | training for i believe it was a |
| 18096s | two ultimates one from kefcen one from |
| 18098s | ryder and you have the san francisco |
| 18100s | shook holding on to four kilo goes |
| 18102s | towards the soldier he knows that |
| 18103s | they're not setting up for a long battle |
| 18104s | there you don't have to snipe you're |
| 18106s | just going in for a major ultimate brawl |
| 18109s | final fight territory we don't need to |
| 18111s | have a big time bank here the goal is to |
| 18113s | finish with any time remaining zero |
| 18115s | seconds absolutely fine for an escort |
| 18118s | and they'll be able to use those four |
| 18119s | ultimates to perfection proper getting |
| 18121s | so many i believe they had five kills to |
| 18123s | no deaths there as well so a complete |
| 18125s | team wipe while the rest of the shock |
| 18126s | are entirely alive they don't have to |
| 18128s | rely on respawners because they got all |
| 18130s | five there and the gladiators |
| 18132s | desperately trying to touch with |
| 18133s | everything they've got skewed by the way |
| 18135s | his transcendence |
| 18136s | does not save kevster kev touches first |
| 18139s | dies to a shale bash from violet and |
| 18141s | you're instantly down 4v5 the |
| 18142s | transcendence comes on in but the |
| 18144s | healing wasn't enough the healing might |
| 18145s | not have even touched if somebody just |
| 18147s | died too quickly |
| 18149s | oh it's huge moves here from the side of |
| 18151s | the shotgun i mean clearly learning from |
| 18153s | that gibraltar experience because they |
| 18154s | piloted around on so perfectly well |
| 18156s | never really allowing him to get into a |
| 18158s | position where he had the sightline |
| 18160s | advantage |
| 18161s | they managed to make it to the finish |
| 18163s | let's see if they can do that now on the |
| 18164s | defense once more but if they can |
| 18165s | continue to really just |
| 18167s | circumnavigate him |
| 18169s | that's a lot of firepower take it away |
| 18171s | from the gladiators |
| 18173s | again line drawn in the sand here shark |
| 18174s | three caps or rather yeah well three |
| 18176s | caps form that completion here |
| 18178s | looking to take us to map number seven |
| 18179s | which if i was to guess would have to be |
| 18182s | midtown that would be the next best map |
| 18183s | choice for the gladiators but still |
| 18185s | opportunities to take us to a time bank |
| 18187s | here again looking at arn's looking at |
| 18189s | kilo prop will get his counterpart and |
| 18190s | kept stuff first |
| 18192s | yep bit of a slow down for glads |
| 18195s | still just inching this card forward as |
| 18197s | much as they can probably will drop down |
| 18198s | go for the contest i'm gonna clear out |
| 18200s | the bubble here |
| 18201s | give me that added layer of protection |
| 18203s | and uh immediately gets his sights |
| 18206s | our good side set on him by sku takes a |
| 18208s | bit of damage has to pull back around |
| 18209s | the corner mike he's still occupying the |
| 18210s | high ground as on looks for an opening |
| 18212s | kill sulfin there for just a moment |
| 18214s | shot across on the mikey that takes a |
| 18216s | much more oh that's gotta be kill |
| 18218s | this is the shot of the violet he's just |
| 18219s | gonna follow up with a tap there into |
| 18221s | the shoulder but it's not going to be |
| 18222s | the elimination that they so desperately |
| 18224s | need |
| 18225s | that cannot be a mess from ons that was |
| 18227s | for sure a frag undivided that would |
| 18229s | have been everything glads would have |
| 18230s | had the 5v4 unless keeler responds shock |
| 18233s | would have been in a lot of trouble |
| 18235s | and he's going to regret missing out |
| 18236s | because it was set up for him easily it |
| 18238s | exactly was a perfect perfect kill that |
| 18241s | he ans should have gotten |
| 18243s | i mean even just there kilo not paying |
| 18245s | attention to the jump shot once goes up |
| 18246s | over the top it just doesn't connect |
| 18247s | into the head |
| 18249s | needs to start finding his groove again |
| 18250s | it's another tap but kilo answers back |
| 18252s | and kind says okay you shot ben to the |
| 18254s | chest i'm gonna shoot you in the head |
| 18256s | puts him down reiner taken out as well |
| 18258s | and it's a good hold now for the side of |
| 18260s | the shock just draining down the time |
| 18261s | bank half the time nearly gone |
| 18264s | you can see the difference in the damage |
| 18265s | output but the frags go tequila right |
| 18267s | it's 84 to 52 from kilo so he's hitting |
| 18270s | shots he is able to land the damage but |
| 18273s | these aren't resulting in final blows |
| 18274s | whereas kilo is getting final blows kilo |
| 18276s | is 10 to two in final blows versus arms |
| 18279s | in terms of the total kills not in the |
| 18280s | 1v1 obviously |
| 18282s | infrasight can be imported here |
| 18284s | instantly drops |
| 18287s | aware of where he's at wants to try to |
| 18288s | reposition but obviously it lives again |
| 18290s | odds gonna know everywhere that he goes |
| 18292s | mikey diving into the back does get |
| 18293s | anted out does fall low discord orb |
| 18295s | still through onto the winston pops the |
| 18296s | primal rage trying to stay alive |
| 18298s | beaten and battered falling lower and |
| 18299s | lower they still do hold on to that |
| 18301s | there you go that's the kind of shot |
| 18302s | that i needed violent gonna be shut down |
| 18304s | five percent away from that |
| 18305s | transcendence but mikey nanoed up dives |
| 18306s | into the back managing to find shu will |
| 18309s | be traded there's kepster and reiner |
| 18311s | managed to dive together they get on top |
| 18313s | of finn proper low hp the cap is going |
| 18315s | to be there four minutes and eight |
| 18316s | seconds now for the side of the |
| 18317s | gladiators |
| 18320s | when they needed it |
| 18321s | michael get a kill here so there's gonna |
| 18323s | be a bit of a trade but with mikey |
| 18324s | staggered this is important because shot |
| 18326s | can't set up for defense until nike |
| 18328s | returns by the way violet dies on about |
| 18330s | 98 to trance you cannot overstate how |
| 18333s | important that was from arn's talked |
| 18335s | about him going for violent number of |
| 18336s | times he missed twice but the third shot |
| 18339s | rings true in the third shot dare i say |
| 18340s | was the most important one there as well |
| 18342s | because it prevents violet from |
| 18343s | clutching with the trance if i doesn't |
| 18345s | die that any trances could be a very |
| 18346s | different fight |
| 18348s | absolutely |
| 18350s | and finally managed to get that hit |
| 18352s | he said it can just be the single shot |
| 18354s | even if you're whipping |
| 18355s | the whole way throughout you get that |
| 18357s | one connection onto somebody who's got |
| 18358s | that all ready to roll that could be the |
| 18360s | difference maker |
| 18362s | getting the win infrasight up from kilo |
| 18364s | he's playing a little bit of a |
| 18366s | unexpected off angle here just get a tap |
| 18368s | on a the side of skewed who's just gonna |
| 18370s | be sitting in the corner now clark |
| 18372s | contested for the moment you also have a |
| 18374s | situation where the blades are available |
| 18376s | but the nanos are not |
| 18377s | the two snipers will barely miss each |
| 18379s | other there and there it is that very |
| 18381s | critical venom mine does save hilo's |
| 18382s | life we've seen him place it there |
| 18383s | before and arms will not get the |
| 18385s | connection on the player |
| 18386s | oh mikey |
| 18388s | slap the headshot |
| 18389s | what |
| 18390s | he didn't hit it he died he still dies |
| 18392s | okay |
| 18393s | gets the kill and finn is out in the |
| 18394s | middle of nowhere he's sitting in |
| 18395s | courtyard somehow just go down execute |
| 18398s | trench to clean up come through france |
| 18399s | does come in from skewed i'm not sure |
| 18401s | quite what happened there maybe it was |
| 18402s | forced either way |
| 18404s | the shot could at least be glad that |
| 18405s | that is gone but the cart is now |
| 18407s | rounding the final corner mikey nearby |
| 18409s | ready to contest this probably |
| 18410s | transcendence of his own |
| 18412s | you know buy some time for the rest of |
| 18413s | the team to join in but they need |
| 18414s | problems could build up a very massive |
| 18416s | time bank here |
| 18418s | they played versus no trance is huge but |
| 18420s | probably dies late which means he's |
| 18421s | gonna be late party here as well trance |
| 18423s | just to buy space |
| 18424s | no problem |
| 18426s | a little bit of time the nano now online |
| 18428s | from shu he's going to use it goes out |
| 18429s | to kepster he dives into the back and as |
| 18431s | the trans expires violet goes down |
| 18432s | proper just pull the blade himself finds |
| 18434s | odds gonna get more values the answer is |
| 18436s | gonna be no as both of these olds end up |
| 18438s | expiring mikey once more taken low anted |
| 18440s | out but he hugs back around the opposite |
| 18442s | side of the cart |
| 18443s | he's training places here against the |
| 18445s | glass members he does stay alive for a |
| 18446s | little bit longer but reiner comes from |
| 18448s | taking down the dps members on the side |
| 18449s | of the shock but now he needs to make |
| 18451s | his exit jump back over grabs the mega |
| 18452s | pack |
| 18455s | he got the supports down shoe and skew |
| 18457s | died in that fight so rhino couldn't |
| 18458s | stay in and now kevster could get he got |
| 18461s | stacked as well but mikey doesn't commit |
| 18462s | to the kills of kepster gets out alive |
| 18465s | that's going to allow the gladiators to |
| 18467s | regroup for another contest here one |
| 18469s | minute 35 they have to play up against |
| 18470s | the mines nothing to clear their minds |
| 18472s | with rhino might have to drop a bubble |
| 18474s | on top of the mines just to get rid of |
| 18475s | some of them and it is annoying |
| 18477s | for rider to have to do that if he does |
| 18481s | like he's got good vision here great |
| 18482s | scouting |
| 18487s | again rolling down the minefield at the |
| 18489s | ready |
| 18490s | off angle oh that's huge okay once |
| 18492s | getting a melee kill on a proper and it |
| 18494s | is just an explosion of death this mikey |
| 18496s | will be the last one to follow the mind |
| 18497s | he'll be damned it's not going to |
| 18498s | achieve anything as everybody else on |
| 18500s | his team dies around him two and a half |
| 18502s | minutes now for the final stretch on the |
| 18503s | side of the gladiators look at this |
| 18505s | they're going to eat some mines for all |
| 18507s | charges gets a further kill we talk |
| 18508s | about eyes need to come line he was |
| 18510s | asleep for the first half of the game |
| 18512s | but now he is certainly here getting a |
| 18514s | couple of really important kills |
| 18516s | and staggering san francisco shock as |
| 18517s | well to prevent them from getting the |
| 18518s | setup on this c point defense two |
| 18521s | minutes to play through gladius have an |
| 18523s | opportunity to get a better time bank |
| 18524s | than the shock but likely this one might |
| 18526s | go to ot as well |
| 18528s | oh mikey is just getting beaten battered |
| 18530s | the bubbles down looking to cut off that |
| 18532s | healing |
| 18533s | will be able to exit |
| 18535s | a bit of a battery here for finn to go |
| 18536s | and try to build up towards that next |
| 18537s | nano where shoe is you know nearly |
| 18539s | doubled his old charge |
| 18540s | different site gonna be expiring ons now |
| 18542s | has his available pops immediately |
| 18545s | setting his sights over towards the |
| 18546s | target sends one over towards violet |
| 18548s | shield defense low finished off kevster |
| 18551s | gets on top of the ana finds that kill |
| 18552s | now violet's going to be gone camps are |
| 18553s | cleaning them both up mikey a little bit |
| 18555s | of hp dead and this keeper for the |
| 18557s | gladiators |
| 18559s | no alts shock don't revolts gladius have |
| 18561s | two more available including a blade |
| 18563s | nanoblade as well |
| 18565s | i don't know they have to go now kilo |
| 18566s | has to go |
| 18567s | okay the slide in he's gonna be focus |
| 18569s | fire though cleaned up the ball trying |
| 18571s | to get there in time but it's just |
| 18573s | not fast enough |
| 18575s | and that is a massive gap between the |
| 18577s | two teams now 224 for the gladiators to |
| 18580s | just the one minute of the shock they |
| 18581s | weren't able to get much done on |
| 18583s | gibraltar they need to get some distance |
| 18585s | here on dorado |
| 18588s | two minutes 24 versus one minute and i'm |
| 18590s | getting mad gibraltar vibes here once |
| 18593s | again |
| 18594s | stay calm |
| 18596s | breathe |
| 18597s | gladiators |
| 18598s | a minute and 24 seconds in the lead this |
| 18601s | could be the map |
| 18603s | san francisco shock |
| 18604s | not out of it |
| 18606s | a brilliant attack here off the back of |
| 18608s | kilo opening things up would be |
| 18609s | everything you need |
| 18611s | but again we go back towards that arms |
| 18614s | shot onto violet on a that changes the |
| 18617s | entire game violet dies on 98 cannot |
| 18620s | trance |
| 18621s | and alec gladys begin |
| 18623s | marching through the rest of the map |
| 18624s | including situations like this where |
| 18627s | mikey's got the uh mines available |
| 18630s | who takes down violet ons gets the shot |
| 18632s | in the mail onto proper and it's just |
| 18634s | all player advantage from here and |
| 18636s | because |
| 18637s | they basically don't have to use |
| 18638s | ultimates there minus i think the rhino |
| 18640s | primal was used gladiators to walk |
| 18642s | through on towards c plenty of ultimates |
| 18644s | available |
| 18645s | infrasight allows them to delete some |
| 18647s | supports full vision where shock don't |
| 18649s | know what glides are doing guys know |
| 18651s | exactly where shark is they can set up |
| 18652s | perfect dives on the fin invited they |
| 18654s | get those two kills shock no response |
| 18656s | and now this one minute is everything |
| 18658s | for the shock they have to get maximum |
| 18659s | distance if shock can cap a they are |
| 18661s | still in the game |
| 18664s | much pressure on these rookies violently |
| 18667s | keeping needing to keep them level |
| 18669s | headed |
| 18670s | in this moment on looking for the pop |
| 18672s | shot spots him he and kilo |
| 18675s | not going to be able to get the the |
| 18676s | shots there but kilo gets the follow-up |
| 18678s | hit ryan are taken down |
| 18680s | big punish |
| 18681s | how much distance now what can glads do |
| 18683s | can you re-engage it without rhino |
| 18685s | available it's really difficult to |
| 18686s | re-engage and almost another kill there |
| 18687s | as well shoe barely survives |
| 18690s | i'm so not so lucky |
| 18692s | kilo continues he delivers once more |
| 18695s | mikey gonna be taking a nap but there's |
| 18696s | no one to try to pressure him out |
| 18697s | without that widow head shot |
| 18701s | mikey |
| 18702s | back alive finn taking the lead towards |
| 18704s | the nano charge 41 percent for |
| 18706s | just 11 behind he's looking for the hit |
| 18708s | he's looking for kepster hasn't been |
| 18710s | able to finish him off yet |
| 18712s | something okay quickly here from the |
| 18713s | side of the gladiators if they want to |
| 18715s | hold this they need to find a shutdown |
| 18717s | ot now coming in the dive to the back |
| 18719s | they find skewed they get that |
| 18720s | elimination bonds up on top of the |
| 18722s | doorway but needs to find some kills |
| 18724s | quickly for the team again but kilo gets |
| 18727s | another headshot |
| 18728s | takes him down kempster dead and that is |
| 18730s | going to be your cart contest eliminated |
| 18732s | as reiner's got nowhere left to go no |
| 18734s | primal to play off of and even if he did |
| 18736s | he would have to hold it finn will find |
| 18737s | two and there is the cap that you were |
| 18739s | talking about as long as they don't |
| 18740s | stand nine this they can get some |
| 18742s | distance |
| 18743s | oh no violet's too experienced for that |
| 18744s | surely he's gonna stay on the payload |
| 18746s | the entire way through the gladiators |
| 18749s | have to get this next fight with if they |
| 18751s | allow the snowball to come up through |
| 18753s | from the shark it'll be too much |
| 18754s | distance |
| 18755s | they got to end this now but kilo opens |
| 18757s | up in the rhino runner gets majorly |
| 18759s | punished and that's probably the one |
| 18760s | member you can't afford to lose |
| 18764s | they need this now into primal |
| 18766s | the defeat |
| 18767s | which is getting the card through the |
| 18768s | doorway without stepping away from mitt |
| 18770s | reiner diving into the back lines |
| 18772s | not too far off from the primal should |
| 18774s | be able to build it during this skirmish |
| 18776s | proper in the meantime |
| 18778s | spotting violence for a moment ryan are |
| 18780s | anticipating doesn't have the primal up |
| 18782s | yet and caleb gets him in the head as he |
| 18784s | tries to leap out to safety another |
| 18785s | massive opening here from the shocks |
| 18787s | widowmaker to get the second kill with |
| 18788s | kevster taken down proper now we're |
| 18790s | sitting around the back he sees the |
| 18792s | supports he's playing off the in for |
| 18793s | sight he starts pressuring them out now |
| 18794s | he can't get staggered they can't get |
| 18796s | staggered dash is over they've got two |
| 18798s | players here odds because the point |
| 18799s | blank headshot to go ahead and shut down |
| 18800s | the tracer but he gives his life for it |
| 18802s | violet continues to just occupy the card |
| 18804s | bring this further forward the san |
| 18805s | francisco shock and immense amount of |
| 18807s | distance opened up now |
| 18809s | what's online for the gladiators that |
| 18810s | they need to gain control here |
| 18814s | out the blade pulls gets the deflect out |
| 18816s | been taken down he throws his own nano |
| 18818s | but now violet gonna be carved up the |
| 18820s | support's gone from the top of the shock |
| 18821s | and this could just be the resting place |
| 18822s | of the cart ons will get one proper the |
| 18825s | last man standing now |
| 18827s | recalls out and knows that it is done |
| 18830s | and dusted tries to preserve his kd i |
| 18832s | suppose makes his exit but man for a |
| 18835s | minute start this is still fantastic |
| 18836s | from the side of the shock |
| 18838s | yeah gladiators cannot allow this much |
| 18840s | distance to come on through with just |
| 18841s | one minute this is more than enough |
| 18844s | far more than enough for the gladiators |
| 18846s | to or rather for the shock to be able to |
| 18847s | put themselves in a winning position |
| 18850s | 2 24 available from class they would |
| 18851s | need to snowball exactly the same and |
| 18854s | even better they have an extra minute |
| 18856s | and 24 to play through it allows them a |
| 18858s | couple more |
| 18859s | a little bit more wiggle room for |
| 18861s | mistakes but realistically to push on |
| 18864s | through to nearly the end of b it's got |
| 18866s | to be a guaranteed overtime regardless |
| 18868s | so |
| 18869s | shock |
| 18871s | they've really |
| 18872s | really nailed that offense an insane |
| 18875s | pick from kilo on to rhino |
| 18877s | to put them in a winning position they |
| 18880s | really want that reverse sweep and they |
| 18882s | currently |
| 18883s | got their hands on the driver's wheel |
| 18885s | they do they really do |
| 18888s | a look back at this |
| 18890s | this is all the way back in the |
| 18891s | beginning here from kilo misses that |
| 18893s | initial shot oh slim margins reiner |
| 18896s | thinking that he was safe |
| 18899s | kilo says no no one can hide that shout |
| 18901s | out to rhino resolve put him to critical |
| 18903s | oh |
| 18904s | it's just kilo killing writers he tries |
| 18906s | to exit just denying him time and time |
| 18908s | again and and again he doesn't have |
| 18910s | primal so that's another very impactful |
| 18911s | kill mckebs are dying there it doesn't |
| 18913s | really help but reiner being on 95 is |
| 18916s | another situation where the timing of |
| 18918s | the kill is everything there for kilo |
| 18920s | because had primal been there for ryder |
| 18922s | glades might have been able to initiate |
| 18924s | an actual fight |
| 18926s | well now on's put in a similar position |
| 18928s | need to find some impact with these |
| 18930s | shots we saw it from among gibraltar can |
| 18932s | you do it now on this attack |
| 18934s | deliver a victory in this final to the |

| 18958s | this map |
| 18959s | the actual 124 is what the glads have |
| 18961s | the only |
| 18962s | wiggle room for mistake that they can |
| 18964s | afford |
| 18969s | i'm just waiting see if there's any |
| 18970s | forward presence being shown there |
| 18974s | he's proper for just a moment cannot get |
| 18975s | the kill violent under fire but the orb |
| 18977s | of harmony comes in from finn they keep |
| 18978s | him alive and it's two kills found for |
| 18980s | the shock card for now locked into |
| 18982s | position with a minute and 15 seconds |
| 18983s | remaining to go |
| 18985s | a little bit of roll back though through |
| 18986s | as well |
| 18987s | look at the notes 71 for shoot this is a |
| 18990s | win condition in the making kiss they're |
| 18991s | going towards the tracer |

| 18999s | we're down to one minute now this is our |
| 19001s | equal territory |
| 19003s | glad it's working with the same time the |
| 19004s | shark had on their attack |
| 19006s | dashing around the back he spots a widow |
| 19008s | there for just a second falls low comes |
| 19009s | away in the corner and he goes out |
| 19011s | violet mikey both gonna be clipped by |
| 19012s | that manage to disengage and stay safe |
| 19014s | no kills to be found yet carte once more |
| 19016s | pushing forward |
| 19017s | proper manners available hunting for a |
| 19020s | target receive the discord orb so they |
| 19021s | can track him now |
| 19022s | he jumps into the back he's looking out |
| 19024s | pressure on he picks him low and he |
| 19025s | manages to get him in the end the recall |
| 19027s | back up the full hp a massive pick off |
| 19029s | here for the side of the san francisco |
| 19030s | shock banana use on the rider as well |
| 19032s | he's in the back lines but he doesn't |
| 19033s | have that dead range he gets cut down |
| 19035s | mikey managing to survive a little bit |
| 19037s | of hp for him and with that hp bar finn |
| 19040s | can go ahead and get the transcendence |
| 19041s | ready now by healing him |
| 19044s | this should be awful to get second hand |
| 19045s | ten seconds capsule has to touch he's |
| 19047s | the closest member he's still alive and |
| 19049s | the glads are into the ot primal should |
| 19051s | be coming up this fight double support |
| 19053s | ultimates with a shock |
| 19055s | and kilo has the infrasight the next |
| 19056s | pick could decide everything |
| 19058s | the car touches there if they force out |
| 19060s | the overtime but now they have to stay |
| 19061s | glued to this infrasight nearly up for |
| 19063s | both of these widowmakers the primal |
| 19064s | rage now online for reiner holding it |
| 19066s | the rally threw from violet to start |
| 19068s | things off |
| 19069s | on dead he tries to travel away but |
| 19071s | proper chases forward finds that kill |
| 19073s | kilo goes for the jump shot not going to |
| 19074s | be able to get a connection finder still |
| 19075s | holding on to the ultimate |
| 19077s | as long as he possibly can transcendence |
| 19079s | has been burned |
| 19081s | anted out mikey lower and lower needs to |
| 19083s | get some heal but finn is going to be |
| 19084s | taken down that cuts the healing down |
| 19086s | considerably kilo |
| 19087s | taking out the primal they managed to |
| 19089s | cleave him down it seems like the |
| 19090s | gladiator is not going to be done yet |
| 19091s | they do get the cap there's still a |
| 19093s | chance |
| 19094s | they can't get off now for the rest of |
| 19096s | this offense couple ultimates can still |
| 19097s | be there shoe and arms looking at them |
| 19099s | proper with the pulse bomb proper has |
| 19101s | been keeping a lid on us he wants to get |
| 19103s | in all this water jaws it's not just |
| 19104s | about kilo versus arms proper is getting |
| 19106s | on top of arms now as well so gladiators |
| 19108s | have to be aware that there is a tracer |
| 19111s | going for their sniper and they have to |
| 19112s | protect them there are alternates on |
| 19114s | life requires they can still snowball |
| 19115s | this one san francisco can fully reset |
| 19117s | properly now there has to be at least |
| 19119s | two to three more fight wins for the |
| 19121s | glass to get this |
| 19123s | yeah they do at least have some molds to |
| 19125s | work with the infrastructure's still not |
| 19126s | being popped on now we're going to be |
| 19127s | using it as i say pulse pump goes in |
| 19129s | though ryan are going to be taken down |
| 19131s | now it's going to be on the supports in |
| 19132s | the dps to stay stuck to this card |
| 19136s | right now it's proper will fall ons gets |
| 19138s | violent they get the kills |
| 19141s | and suddenly it's just kilo the cleanup |
| 19142s | comes through a massive amount of |
| 19144s | distance now for the gladiators as they |
| 19145s | start pushing for the nanoboost still |
| 19147s | held |
| 19147s | one more fight |
| 19149s | mikey has the |
| 19151s | minefield available violence deciding |
| 19153s | what he wants to go through lucio |
| 19154s | zander's got to know it's going back to |
| 19155s | anna |
| 19157s | the san francisco shock can touch this |
| 19158s | one kilo going towards the sojourn is |
| 19160s | off this will be the final fight a shoe |
| 19162s | nano available could go on to anybody |
| 19165s | this narrow can decide |
| 19166s | he's get a touch they can't do it |
| 19169s | not like this |
| 19171s | unbelievable |
| 19173s | the shock they set the stage they get so |
| 19175s | close |
| 19176s | one more map to try to tie it up make it |
| 19179s | a 3-3 go for the seventh and final map |
| 19182s | but they cannot do it the pressure |
| 19184s | applied mikey is so low he cannot touch |
| 19187s | proper does not arrive in time and it is |
| 19190s | a catastrophe heartbreak for the side of |
| 19192s | the san francisco shock as their run in |
| 19195s | this grand final comes to a conclusion |
| 19197s | it is not the great bout the massive |
| 19199s | explosion of death the battle that the |
| 19201s | gladiators want to win to give |
| 19203s | themselves a victory is just a simple |
| 19205s | cloud nine at the end of it all the |
| 19207s | gladiators take this series four to two |
| 19210s | in the end they are your mid-season |
| 19212s | madness champions and i cannot believe |
| 19215s | it |
| 19216s | what a way to end things out |
| 19218s | this is overwatch this is overwatch two |
| 19220s | i guess so many c9 |
| 19222s | that we have seen but it ends up being |
| 19224s | the biggest one |
| 19226s | in |
| 19228s | i mean considering the stakes |
| 19230s | the final fight to take us maybe to a |
| 19232s | map seven shot looking for the reverse |
| 19234s | sweep |
| 19235s | and there is not going to be a touch but |
| 19237s | the ali gladiators |
| 19239s | are gonna go back to back |
| 19241s | sent to the lower bracket |
| 19243s | the players embracing i mean they all |
| 19245s | know what an insane game that was |
| 19248s | nearly a four zero points as well but |
| 19251s | it delivered it really did deliver |
| 19254s | and this is the gladiator squad now they |
| 19256s | get to hang their heads high |
| 19259s | and i mean goodness i mean the 3-0 lead |
| 19261s | to start things out with a shark nearly |
| 19263s | coming back |
| 19264s | what a mid-season madness tournament |
| 19267s | a bit of a smorgasbord of a final |
| 19270s | everything a little bit of everything |
| 19272s | included in this one incredible widow |
| 19274s | plays from both sides the near run back |
| 19276s | from the side of the shock trying to |
| 19278s | pull off the reverse sweep |
| 19279s | and then the cloud nine finish |
| 19283s | go ahead and have it hand it over to the |
| 19285s | gladiators the shock obviously some |
| 19287s | smiles hugs exchange between the two |
| 19289s | teams who haven't gone back and forth |
| 19291s | across the room with their trash talk |
| 19293s | but uh i think that this is going to be |
| 19296s | one that haunts them the whole plane |
| 19297s | ride back to the mainland gladiators |
| 19300s | though they're gonna be feeling pretty |
| 19301s | damn good and one person in particular |
| 19303s | who's gonna be feeling especially good |
| 19304s | about his performance the whole way |
| 19306s | throughout is our player of the match |
| 19308s | which is shu who from the outset getting |
| 19310s | that 3-0 lead he was absolutely |
| 19313s | instrumental in it |
| 19314s | the instrumental the old thai way across |
| 19316s | as well so many impactful sleep dodge |
| 19318s | bionates the mechanics being shown here |
| 19320s | shu really is at the top of his game |
| 19323s | a veteran that has been across a number |
| 19326s | of teams now |
| 19327s | has championships under his belt has now |
| 19329s | a back to back with the gladiators here |
| 19331s | has been with the system on glass for |
| 19332s | some time and |
| 19334s | again we said at the beginning of this |
| 19336s | grand finals issue the best flexible in |
| 19339s | the world i think after this match |
| 19341s | a resounding guess from me 100 this guy |
| 19344s | was on another level this |
| 19346s | connection as well just everything she |
| 19348s | did was great i mean plays it right off |
| 19352s | of finn hits proper gets that kill and i |
| 19355s | don't even know if you need to really |
| 19356s | add the the kind of caveat the asterisk |
| 19358s | of flick support why not just say just |
| 19361s | port in the world |
| 19362s | i think that you absolutely can make |
| 19364s | that argument this guy has continued to |
| 19365s | deliver it and what you know while he |
| 19367s | had he doesn't have as many accolades as |
| 19369s | violet on the opposite side of the arena |
| 19371s | he's got like one hell of a team around |
| 19372s | him this season yeah he is racking them |
| 19374s | up now with these back-to-back |
| 19376s | tournament wins here at the start of |
| 19377s | 2022 continues to look absolutely |
| 19380s | phenomenal |
| 19381s | and i'll tell you what one thing as well |
| 19382s | is that you really have to also consider |
| 19385s | now when you look across the board |
| 19387s | the la gladiators are they the best team |
| 19390s | so far this year i gotta say it's a |
| 19392s | resounding yes so far for that result |
| 19393s | they are the best team in the world |
| 19394s | proven in the mid-season madness |
| 19396s | tournament they beat everybody they lost |
| 19398s | to shock in a winner's bracket game but |
| 19400s | they come through the grand finals they |
| 19402s | had an insane 3-0 lead um props to all |
| 19405s | the players but the coaching staff there |
| 19406s | is on we've got to talk about stuff like |
| 19408s | coach oh yeah coming on through this is |
| 19410s | a team that was leaderless right at the |
| 19412s | start of the year when you know d-pad |
| 19413s | departed face was thrust into the head |
| 19416s | coaching position his first time as head |
| 19418s | coach um and back-to-back victories you |
| 19421s | know first go the head coach he built |
| 19423s | this team along with dp he scouted he |
| 19425s | specifically scouted patapan and skewed |
| 19427s | those are two of his pickups and now he |
| 19430s | builds a coaching roster alongside him |
| 19431s | as well the departure of thai dollar he |
| 19434s | brings an under he brings in smash from |
| 19436s | o2 blast and the three of them together |
| 19438s | you know smash mullet and bald man i |
| 19441s | mean he's both because he's just got to |
| 19442s | make more space for his brains to fit |
| 19444s | you know he's just such a big cranium |
| 19446s | they get it back to back best team in |
| 19448s | the world |
| 19450s | absolutely incredible and yeah i mean a |
| 19451s | firm statement and without a doubt no in |
| 19454s | without a doubt at all that they are the |
| 19455s | best in the world right now they |
| 19456s | continue to deliver they continue to |
| 19458s | look great so a huge congratulations to |
| 19460s | the gladiators across the board i forget |
| 19462s | whether it was johnny or custa who kind |
| 19464s | of set it up and said you know i'm not |
| 19465s | going to be surprised if at the end of |
| 19466s | yesterday after the loss that they go |
| 19469s | back to the hotel and they managed to |
| 19470s | figure out you know how the shock is |
| 19471s | going to play try to get those counter |
| 19472s | strats going on and it was working at |
| 19474s | the very beginning of the series they |
| 19476s | tripped up a little bit but they managed |
| 19477s | to find their footing and close it out |
| 19479s | on dorado uh much to the chagrin of |
| 19481s | shock and their fans but what a final |
| 19484s | this was looking like a complete another |
| 19486s | wash he can't be anything other than |
| 19488s | happy that the shock were able to rally |
| 19489s | back get these wins on the board and |
| 19490s | make it look like that reverse sweep was |
| 19491s | going to occur i just wish that we had |
| 19493s | made it to that fifth and final or that |
| 19495s | seventh final math rather uh in this |
| 19498s | series but uh |
| 19499s | uh as if they didn't go through enough |
| 19501s | pain the first time around we'll go |
| 19503s | ahead and take a look at it once more |
| 19504s | here to see exactly what had transpired |
| 19507s | at the end of that map |
| 19509s | and uh and it's just unfortunate |
| 19512s | it really is and i you know i would have |
| 19513s | loved to have seen what happens on on |
| 19515s | the seventh map which i think for the |
| 19516s | glads pov probably would have been the |
| 19518s | midtown uh that was one of the key map |
| 19519s | picks from earlier on as well but yeah |
| 19521s | it's sort of the payload coming on |
| 19522s | through right it's you see a ball flying |
| 19524s | on in but it's not nike it's indeed uh |
| 19526s | ryder instead i do have to say that |
| 19528s | despite it being i think a |
| 19530s | little bit of an upsetting ending for |
| 19532s | the san francisco shock they have to be |
| 19535s | done from odds you have to be you have |
| 19537s | to be at least a little bit |
| 19538s | you know proud of the fact that |
| 19541s | they took this one to |
| 19543s | six maps nearly seven i think this one |
| 19545s | deserved to go to seven as well |
| 19547s | um it does maybe hurt propper's campaign |
| 19551s | slightly but at the same time as well |
| 19553s | you know he showed up big time over the |
| 19555s | cross the series um was a player that |
| 19558s | was able to shut down arn's played at |
| 19560s | minimum on kepster's level |
| 19562s | and the san francisco shock you know i'm |
| 19564s | sure they're going to bounce back really |
| 19565s | really strong for the summer showdown |
| 19568s | one can only hope but guys that's gonna |
| 19569s | do it for myself and avril it's been |
| 19571s | absolutely wonderful to bring you guys |
| 19572s | this grand final and congratulations |

| 19657s | right so i have a lot of questions but |
| 19659s | let's start with uh shoe today you're |
| 19660s | the player of the match and i actually |
| 19662s | you said that you had some stuff to say |
| 19664s | to the camera and all of our viewers who |
| 19666s | are watching this right now so please |
| 19669s | say whatever you want to say it's |
| 19685s | all right uh can i please have a coach |
| 19688s | smash i have one question |
| 19691s | uh coach smash was the mastermind with |
| 19693s | the team right now and i i do wanna i do |
| 19695s | i wanna quickly ask you because |
| 19698s | gladiators you guys only had well you |
| 19700s | guys had less than 24 hours to prep for |
| 19701s | this match and yet you guys still |
| 19703s | dominated the san francisco shock so |
| 19705s | i want the details like what were the |
| 19707s | strategies involved uh for the finals |
| 19709s | match |
| 19711s | [Music] |
| 19741s | foreign |
| 19748s | all right uh didn't really expect the |
| 19750s | ilias pick but we were very much |
| 19752s | expecting the icon wall pick um and i |
| 19755s | knew that i knew that they were going to |
| 19756s | come up with a diva pick and you know we |
| 19758s | were we really didn't have an answer for |
| 19760s | it but thankfully the san francisco |
| 19762s | shock with the diva they really didn't |
| 19764s | do much and the fact that we were able |
| 19766s | to get them out of the uh diva |
| 19768s | composition i think was a very clutch |
| 19770s | moment vote that was the strategy uh for |
| 19772s | the los angeles gladiators all right uh |
| 19774s | coach smash thank you so much uh sean |
| 19776s | would you do you want to do it i would |
| 19778s | love to have all right ask hunter a |
| 19779s | question if you could step up enter |
| 19782s | back to back champions for 2022 |
| 19785s | what do you think you've been able to do |
| 19786s | to instill in your players such a |
| 19788s | championship dna uh |
| 19791s | i think we just taught them to talk |
| 19793s | a lot and to enjoy their games i mean |

| 19856s | entire time why the tables why walk on |
| 19858s | those precious university tables they |
| 19860s | paid good money for those tables if |
| 19862s | you're gonna be the best then you should |
| 19863s | stand above the rest oh that's going |
| 19866s | westbrook |
| 19872s | let's go ahead and jump in talking about |
| 19874s | this series though because it almost |
| 19876s | looked like we were about to get the |
| 19878s | reverse sweep i had the silver scrapes |
| 19880s | up on my spotify i'm not gonna lie i was |
| 19882s | waiting for it to happen and i was like |
| 19883s | reverse sleep is gonna happen but |
| 19885s | unfortunately it did not but you know |
| 19887s | the gladiators coming out really strong |
| 19889s | in this series winning that map on |
| 19891s | eigenvalue sort of really did the like |
| 19893s | flip the whole thing on its head |
| 19895s | look like the shock will bring it back |
| 19896s | but not in the end yeah i mean do we |
| 19899s | just want to recap the whole thing i |
| 19900s | mean we're going to be here for a while |
| 19901s | we want to talk about it i'll i'll talk |
| 19903s | about the game talk about the game i'll |
| 19905s | talk about the talk about it uh i mean |
| 19907s | illios |
| 19908s | i'm going to be honest shulk like should |
| 19911s | have won ilios yeah they were very close |
| 19914s | to winning uh on the final third round |
| 19916s | on this map had no planet for gladiators |
| 19918s | clutching things up um obviously it it |
| 19921s | was incredibly entertaining because the |
| 19923s | summer says go shock they went for this |
| 19924s | lucio moya composition uh they went |
| 19926s | super aggressive we saw a lot of uh |
| 19928s | lucio sunbury in gauges and they |
| 19930s | recognized early on that they had to set |
| 19931s | the tempo they knew that funny astro was |
| 19934s | going going to be fielded for the ali |
| 19936s | gladiators which naturally brings the |
| 19938s | speed boost so well what can we do |
| 19940s | instead while we speed up the tempo even |
| 19942s | more and you can see here 99 to 99 in |
| 19944s | the very final third round and it really |
| 19946s | felt like the shock we're going to take |
| 19947s | that one to take yelio's but instead it |
| 19949s | was the align gladiators and we went to |
| 19950s | arkham welding which was san francisco |
| 19952s | shark's best map entire tournament |
| 19953s | really yeah |
| 19955s | you do have to question the map pool a |
| 19957s | little bit by the san francisco shock |
| 19959s | like why are you going to illios when |
| 19961s | the gladiators just recently you know |
| 19963s | beat you on that map we know how strong |
| 19965s | bunny astro is and then we go over i can |
| 19967s | vote the diva composition doesn't work |
| 19969s | obviously the gladiators have done a |
| 19971s | great job of learning and adapting from |
| 19972s | their mistakes and then they go over to |
| 19974s | gibraltar not confident in their circa |
| 19976s | royale which i'm not sure if i |
| 19978s | completely agree with that could have |
| 19980s | gone either way but it just did not look |
| 19982s | like the gla the san francisco shock |
| 19985s | were just going to show up in this map |
| 19987s | obviously very very close |
| 19989s | in the end when you look at that score |
| 19991s | line we're going into this overtime push |
| 19992s | but it felt like the gladiators had |
| 19994s | control for most of this map so i don't |
| 19997s | know what clicked after this break we go |
| 19999s | into new queen street patty pan decides |
| 20001s | that sombra is the solution |
| 20004s | for their issues right now with the |
| 20006s | shock and we start to see that reverse |
| 20008s | sweep starting to creep in but it's just |
| 20012s | it feels like the shock |
| 20014s | they couldn't string it together it was |
| 20016s | based on individual brilliance we saw it |
| 20018s | from profit we saw it a bit a little bit |
| 20020s | from kilo but the same team that we saw |
| 20022s | yesterday did not show up in today's |
| 20023s | match yeah i'd argue that the backline |
| 20025s | for the shock they were a bit all over |
| 20026s | the place at times you know they found |
| 20028s | themselves finn was one place in the map |
| 20030s | and violet was another place um here sam |
| 20033s | comes out playing the torbjorn and it's |
| 20034s | like you know memes aside it actually |
| 20036s | counters the sombra uh tracer |
| 20038s | composition kind of well with the turret |
| 20040s | i'm not going to say that it's a great |
| 20041s | pick but it does you know theoretically |
| 20043s | counter that as well sam had an |
| 20045s | incredible performance here on league i |
| 20047s | mean shock was so close to like losing |
| 20049s | this round but sam just comes in close |
| 20052s | just like 3k 4k proper had an amazing |
| 20054s | tracer battle as well and we go over to |
| 20056s | dorado now this is where i would argue |
| 20060s | that the lag ladder is over performed a |
| 20062s | little bit kilo had some amazing moments |
| 20064s | on widowmaker but even gibraltar like |
| 20066s | anz had some incredible moments on |
| 20068s | gibraltar that i would argue we haven't |
| 20070s | seen from him since like 2020 including |
| 20073s | this one in overtime four points to four |
| 20076s | like i i could see how the san francisco |
| 20078s | shock they thought to themselves that |
| 20080s | kilo they had an upper hand there they |
| 20082s | had an upper hand in the widowmaker |
| 20083s | jewel hence why they wanted to go to |
| 20085s | gibraltar but at the end of the day i |
| 20088s | think anz had a spectacular performance |
| 20090s | he has been good you know great so far |
| 20093s | this year but he's not been like the |
| 20095s | best widowmaker in the world and so i |
| 20097s | could have seen how shocked we're like |
| 20098s | well we have kilo he'll win that duel |
| 20100s | but instead it was it was on state today |
| 20102s | and it really helped the gladiators win |
| 20104s | the stage and that final team fight the |
| 20106s | one that i guess never happened there on |
| 20108s | dorado it i feel like that defined a lot |
| 20111s | of the issues that the shock had today |
| 20112s | where it's like mikey goes out just that |
| 20114s | little bit too early gets so low that he |
| 20116s | cannot touch the point and then profit |
| 20119s | doesn't get that communication tries to |
| 20120s | go on arms in the back line it's just a |
| 20123s | little bit of disconnect just sort of |
| 20124s | cause them those issues so they do start |
| 20126s | having that individual brilliance |
| 20128s | especially from proper like proper was |
| 20129s | incredible this series you can't hold |
| 20131s | him for today but as a team it just was |
| 20134s | not them on their a game and true said |
| 20135s | going into this match |
| 20137s | yesterday we made more mistakes than |
| 20139s | them they didn't play flawlessly but we |
| 20141s | made mistakes today i think the shock |
| 20143s | made more mistakes it's exactly that's |
| 20145s | exactly what we heard from shu going |
| 20146s | into this game but actually we have the |
| 20149s | calms from the winning moments let's go |
| 20151s | ahead and hear what our winning players |
| 20153s | had to say |
| 20173s | [Applause] |
| 20182s | i don't know what i don't know what this |
| 20184s | is but yeah it's a thing now apparently |
| 20187s | recording an aunt he stood up and he |
| 20189s | started doing it too patty pan uh we saw |
| 20192s | it at the beginning i don't think in |
| 20193s | that replay but we saw petty pain like |
| 20194s | would jump over the desk could have gone |
| 20196s | around but decides to jump over it it |
| 20198s | was strange you could tell the |
| 20199s | gladiators weren't ready for that fight |
| 20201s | to end they were like okay we're |
| 20202s | preparing everyone stay calm and then |
| 20204s | they just happen they're like |
| 20206s | yeah |
| 20207s | kevster was very ready for that c9 |
| 20212s | you heard i think someone was saying |
| 20213s | like united st99 |
| 20215s | and then so this is where it comes to |
| 20217s | question was it technically a c9 since |
| 20219s | no one was even on the point to step off |
| 20221s | of you said yes i think it's a c9 you |
| 20224s | have five members alive you had multiple |
| 20226s | members who could have theoretically |
| 20227s | touched and none of them did there was a |
| 20230s | reason they didn't touch costa but |
| 20232s | here's the thing i don't think it was an |
| 20234s | unforced one because i don't think all |
| 20236s | five could have touched it was up to |
| 20237s | either proper or mikey mikey forced out |
| 20240s | very early has to run away |
| 20242s | it was probably on proper to be the guy |
| 20244s | to touch it maybe a miscommunication |
| 20245s | there at the very end but you know it |
| 20247s | doesn't really matter at the end of the |
| 20248s | day like they will force off the point |
| 20250s | the gladiators won and deservedly so |
| 20252s | you're telling me if i'm wrecking ball |
| 20254s | and i feed before the fight begins |
| 20257s | that's like that's c9 that's a mistake |
| 20259s | like that's not those are very different |
| 20261s | things well i mean by definition c9 is a |
| 20264s | mistake |
| 20266s | touche oh i got nothing |
| 20269s | [Laughter] |
| 20271s | yeah i think it was definitely a very |
| 20273s | unfortunate way |
| 20275s | for the shock to get knocked out there |
| 20277s | especially when it looked like they were |
| 20278s | just on the cusp of pulling off that |
| 20281s | potential reverse sweep that's |
| 20282s | definitely something that they're going |
| 20283s | to remember and hopefully not a mistake |
| 20286s | that they are going to make in the |
| 20287s | future but i mean that's that and this |
| 20289s | was our mid-season madness tournament la |
| 20292s | gladiators being crowned our winner |
| 20295s | guys we just finished a full week of |
| 20298s | madness |
| 20300s | it lived up to the name absolutely |
| 20303s | absolutely we had just at the beginning |
| 20305s | of the week uh you heard sean say i |
| 20307s | think 80 |
| 20308s | of the matches that could have been |
| 20309s | played had been played they weren't all |
| 20311s | just like three sweeps three sweeps |
| 20313s | three sweeps we had three ones we had |
| 20315s | five maps back to back on days back to |
| 20317s | back in games |
| 20319s | johnny tell me what was this tournament |
| 20321s | like for you |
| 20323s | i think that this this |
| 20326s | no no i don't think i can i don't think |
| 20328s | i can was it though i i think what was |
| 20330s | this the best i think the worst league |
| 20332s | tournament |
| 20333s | even the grand finals delivered even it |
| 20335s | was a 4-2 yes it wasn't like crazy but |
| 20338s | it was some of the best overwatch we've |
| 20339s | seen |
| 20340s | obviously the best overwatch two we've |
| 20341s | ever seen yeah there was so many hype |
| 20343s | moments so many great best of fives like |
| 20345s | honestly it's the best tournament we've |
| 20346s | had at least in my memory like it |
| 20348s | honestly had everything it had |
| 20350s | storylines it had close games |
| 20352s | what can more can you ask i want to |
| 20353s | correct really fast 90 maps out of 112. |
| 20357s | with a lot of maps |
| 20359s | 90 maps out of 112. |
| 20362s | i mean |
| 20363s | yeah i mean it really was so close and i |
| 20366s | mentioned it like in the pre-show as |
| 20367s | well like the meta variety um again the |
| 20370s | way overwatch 2 caters to so many |
| 20372s | different compositions if you go to |
| 20373s | circuit real |
| 20374s | you're going to play sigma compositions |
| 20376s | all right |
| 20377s | you're going to see wrecking ball on |
| 20378s | like new queen street we're going to see |
| 20380s | doomfist on leading tower we're going to |
| 20382s | see winston lelone and spitfire are |
| 20384s | going to force reinhardt as well like |
| 20387s | the meta is perfect the matches were |
| 20389s | close and the storylines like the |
| 20391s | atlantean lower bracket run it was |
| 20394s | edible there were just so many fantastic |
| 20396s | things about this tournament and like if |
| 20398s | you go back in time it's like all these |
| 20399s | different stages throughout overwatch |
| 20401s | league history like there was something |
| 20403s | that wasn't quite right like 2020 summer |
| 20405s | showdown well it was just genji all the |
| 20406s | time you know |
| 20408s | 2021 countdown cup well it's like |
| 20410s | shanghai dragons and the dallas fuel so |
| 20412s | like you can nitpick all these things on |
| 20414s | all the previous stages you know watch |
| 20416s | league history and you know all the |
| 20417s | playoffs we've never really had a great |
| 20419s | finals besides like maybe 2020 so |
| 20423s | this might have been the best of all |
| 20424s | yeah |
| 20426s | it was amazing it was it was a ton of |
| 20429s | fun well scott any final thoughts from |
| 20430s | you as we are basically reaching the end |
